《Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam?》


 Chapter 1 Through The Revival Of Spirit Energy, Bound To The Divine Blacksmith System!

    "We Interrupt this broadcast with a new report from China''s Artifact Research Department. At 8.10 am today, our country''s brilliant cksmith from the Research Department, Han Feng, sessfully forged a Divine-grade armor. As a result, the cksmith, Han Feng, has broken a new record in China, bing the youngest seven-star cksmith in history. "


    "As for the specific attributes of this Divine-grade armor, there is little information for now. However, the appearance of this Divine armor is enough to prove that our country has led the world in the field of forging for a long time!"


    "Next, let''s invite the Artifact Research Department''s associate professor to tell us more..."


    An ear-piercing sound woke Wu Mo from his dazed state.


    He felt a swelling pain in his head as if he had notpletely digested his new memories.


    Images shed through his mind like a slide, and only then did he understand his current situation.


    Combining the memories in his mind, Wu Mo was surprised to find that he had actually transmigrated.


    Moreover, he had transmigrated to a world simr to Earth.


    The culture, history, and technology of this world were all very simr to those of Earth.


    But due to a disaster a few hundred years ago, this blue had embarked on a development path that waspletely different from Earth''s!


    Wu Mo learned about everything thanks to the additional memories in his mind.


    Ever since the disaster urred, there had been obvious changes on the blue.


    Numerous supernatural events urred, and spirit energy gradually grew,pletely changing the world''s entire development within a few hundred years!


    Later, the spirit energy eventually became abundant, and countless cultivators appeared.


    However, this also attracted the covetous eyes of alien races beyond their skies. In just ten years after the spirit energy appeared, the blue was invaded by ten thousand races!


    In the new era, only cultivators could contend with the alien races.


    Unfortunately, because there were very few cultivators, when humans faced the invasion of ten thousand races, innumerable people were killed or injured. As a result, the various factions had no choice but to form an alliance, and in the end, they barely managed to resist the first invasion.


    After this battle, everyone realized the importance of cultivators. In order to resist the alien races, the different countries did their best to nurture their countrymen into cultivators. The entire structure of the world had changed.


    Even so, it was extremely difficult to be a cultivator. One needed to absorb arge amount of spirit energy that was scattered in the air.


    Be that as it may, it was impossible to do so with just one''s physical body. One had to rely on weapons to absorb the spirit energy of heaven and earth for cultivation.


    Ordinary people could only be cultivators with powerful special weapons.


    A weapon''s strength was directly linked to the speed at which it absorbed spirit energy. As a result, countless cultivators would spend their entire lives obtaining stronger Divine weapons.


    Meanwhile, Divine weapons appeared precisely because of the disaster that had happened a few hundred years ago.


    The outbreak of the disaster had formed a huge sinkhole in the ground. So, officials organized personnel to explore it and discovered many powerful Divine weapons in the sinkhole.


    However, the number of Divine weapons in the sinkhole was limited. In the end, only a few hundred cultivators were created during the ten years of spirit energy recovery. Later, the invasion of the ten thousand races presented a life-and-death situation. Only then did the various factions begin to actively develop Divine weapons that could absorb spirit energy.


    Those who could create special weapons were called cksmiths.


    With the existence of cksmiths, many cultivators were finally developed on the blue.


    Despite that, after a hundred years, the number of cksmiths remained extremely low.


    Due to the extremely high threshold and talent required, the profession of cksmiths became even more precious than cultivators!


    Nheless, after the country''s vigorous promotion of development, the fields rted to forging became increasingly formal. cksmith training academies all over the country appeared like bamboo shoots after the spring rain.


    The cksmith system was gradually divided into different grades from low to high. There were basically one-star to nine-star cksmiths.<sub> </sub>


    The higher the star rank, the stronger the cksmith. Above that were Moonlight, Sun Wheel, and other more powerful titles.


    Up until now, three-star or four-star cksmiths were quite rare. Usually, only a small portion of people in an academy could reach that level.


    As for Seven-star and above cksmiths, they were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. Those who possessed the "Moonlight" and "Sun Wheel" titles did not even seem to exist in Wu Mo''s memory.


    The original owner of his body had been a cksmith who studied in thergest armament academy in China.


    The previous owner of this body was extremely talented. When he was young, he passed the test to be a cksmith. After entering the Divine Arms Academy, his achievements were outstanding.


    At the age of twelve, he became a one-star cksmith. Following that, he advanced and became a four-star cksmith, bing a genius whom everyone in the academy looked up to!


    But the path of a genius was filled with thorns.


    Later on, to fulfill his childhood dream, this predecessor of his vowed to forge the strongest Divine weapon, the Peerless Sword. He borrowed money from others and went into seclusion to forge it at home.


    Sadly, not only did he run out of money, but he also became clouded with his obsession and lost all his forging abilities. He was not even on a one-star level at that point.


    In the end, he passed away suddenly at home from mental and physical exhaustion. He died with regrets!


    Feeling the swelling pain in his mind dissipate a lot, Wu Mo slowly opened his eyes. Looking at the messy single dormitory in front of him, he felt the despair of his predecessor.


    "The strongest Divine weapon? Spirit energy? Even though I transmigrated from Earth, I won''t be able to do all of that."


    Standing up from the couch, Wu Mo muttered to himself and immediately entered the dorm''s bathroom.


    As Wu Mo looked at himself in the mirror, everything felt very real to him.


    His predecessor in the mirror looked exactly like him.


    Even the mole on their necks and the scar on their corbones were identical.


    Wu Mo''s predecessor on the blue was identical to him in the parallel world.


    After discovering this information, Wu Mo frowned slightly.


    He washed his face and returned to the messy living room.


    The table in front of the couch was filled with misceneous items, including the design blueprints used by his predecessor.


    In a month''s time, they would graduate. Every student of the Divine Arms Academy had to submit a final-year design blueprint to prove their forging ability.


    However, his predecessor had been forging the Divine weapon of his dreams before his sudden death. He waspletely unprepared for his final-year design!


    Not only did his predecessor notplete the assignment, but he also owed a huge debt of over two million. To Wu Mo who had just transmigrated, this was the beginning of hell.


    Looking at the mess in front of him, Wu Mo''s face was full of worry.


    Just as he looked at the ceiling with a nk face, a clear voice suddenly rang in his mind!


    [Ding! State of despair detected in host spirit. The Divine cksmith System is initiating the binding process.


    [Ding! The binding has been sessful. You have received a Beginner Pack. Would you like to activate it now?]


    The sudden voice gave Wu Mo a fright, but soon, a look of pleasant surprise appeared on his face.


    Wu Mo, who grew up on Earth, was a ten-year-old bookworm, so he was familiar with the system.


    Once he heard the system, Wu Mo immediately understood that his cheat code had arrived!

 Chapter 2 Beginner Pack, Heaven-Defying Ability

    "Open the pack!" Wu Mo said emotionally.


    After all, he was already at rock bottom. Unless he had the system''s help, it would be impossible for him toplete any final-year design with his own skills.


    [Ding! Beginner Pack opened. Congrattions on obtaining Divine-grade Forging Space, Divine-grade Forging Workbench, and a chance to choose a blueprint for a Divine-grade weapon.]


    The system''s electronic synthesized voice echoed in Wu Mo''s mind once again. However, the Beginner Pack that the system gave him left him bewildered.


    He understood each individual word that the system had uttered, but when they came together, he was extremely confused.


    "Forging Space... What is that?" Wu Mo asked in puzzlement.


    The system immediately exined it to him.


    [Divine-grade Forging Space is a special space created by the system. In this space, the flow of time is 1% the speed of the outside world. In other words, the time you spend in a Divine-grade Forging Space is only equivalent to fifteen minutes in the real world.]


    After hearing that detailed introduction, Wu Mo''s face instantly revealed a look of joy.


    The special space created by the system could bring great convenience to Wu Mo.


    One should know that once many high-level Divine weapons were forged, it would definitely cause a world-shakingmotion.


    Even if Wu Mo had the system''s help, without the special space protecting his privacy, he would probably be captured and investigated before he could forge a Divine weapon.


    After all, his current forging strength was not evenparable to a one-star cksmith. If he suddenly forged a high-level Divine weapon, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of others.


    Hence, the special space could perfectly solve this matter. However, Wu Mo was most satisfied with its feature to slow down time by a hundred times.


    Forging a Divine weapon was a long trial and error process. Even a seven-star cksmith could not guarantee that he would be able to sessfully forge a Divine weapon.


    However, the flow of time in the Forging Space was only 1% of that in the real world, which meant he had a lot of time to waste in the future.


    With a lot of time to engage in actualbat, his strength would definitely improve by leaps and bounds.


    As long as he used the Divine Forging Space properly, even a legendary Divine weapon could be forged!


    Wu Mo''s eyes were filled with excitement. However, he did not forget that there were two other items in the Beginner Pack. Just the ability of a Divine Forging Space was already so heaven-defying, so would the other Workbench item not be even greater?


    As Wu Mo thought of this, the system seemed to read his thoughts and immediately give him an introduction to the Workbench.


    [A Divine-grade Forging Workbench can be used unlimited times in the Forging space. It can greatly increase the user''s creativity and attention. It also has an unlimited backtrack function, whereby, after a Divine weapon fails to be forged, you can automatically backtrack, and it will provide the steps and locations of the mistakes during the forging process.]


    "Hiss..."


    Wu Mo sucked in a breath of cold air. He searched through all of his brand-new memories, but he still could not find any Divine weapons with the function that the system had just introduced.


    The function of the Divine-grade Forging Workbench was even more powerful than the legendary Divine weapons!


    If the unlimited backtracking function alone were to be leaked out, most of the cksmiths in the world would go crazy and use all means to snatch the Forging Workbench.


    Up until now, all the cksmith training academies in the world had trained their cksmiths bit by bit through actualbat. Every failure in forging was a valuable experience.


    If one wanted to quickly improve their forging abilities, they would need an endless supply of materials to practice with.<sub> </sub>


    The materials needed to forge a Divine weapon could easily cost tens of thousands of yuan. Only prestigious families or even aristocratic families had the financial resources for it. cksmiths from ordinary families could only observe and explore it a little.


    Unless one had extraordinary talent, their strength would not be able topare to those from prestigious families.


    However, the practical problems that troubled countless cksmiths faced could be perfectly resolved by endless backtracking.


    Moreover, this endless backtracking could also detect the wrong operation and parts during the forging process. It would allow cksmiths to understand their mistakes in an extremely short period of time and correct them in a timely manner.


    When Wu Mo heard about the function of the Divine-grade Forging Workbench, he immediately felt as if his blood was about to boil.


    Even though he had just transmigrated, he understood this workbench''s strength based on his memory alone. The excitement in his heart could not be expressed with words.


    The special Forging Space coupled with the Workbench that allowed infinite backtracks were enough for Wu Mo to raise his forging strength greatly in a short period of time!


    Completing his final-year project within a month was something that Wu Mo did not even dare to think about half an hour ago. However, now that he had two Divine-grade equipment, it was no longer a difficult task for him!


    Instead, he found it extremely simple!


    "Hu... Hu."


    Wu Mo sat on the couch and took two deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down.


    Then, he continued to focus his attention on the third reward in the Beginner Pack.


    Just as Wu Mo had expected, after a thought appeared in his mind, a detailed introduction of the blueprint followed.


    [The Divine Weapon Forging Blueprint is a one-time consumable. After selecting the weapon type, you will receive a random Divine Weapon Forging Blueprint.]


    "It''s for a Divine weapon!"


    Even though Wu Mo knew that the system''s products were extraordinary, he was still shocked when he learned that the blueprint could produce a Divine weapon.


    On the blue, a rare Divine weapon could easily be auctioned for more than a few hundred thousand yuan. It was enough for an ordinary family to live without food or water for a few years.


    ? A Divine weapon design blueprint would probably be priceless. It was a peerless treasure that even the Divine Arms Academy did not have.


    "But I probably won''t be able to use this right now." Wu Mo quickly reacted.


    Although Divine weapon design blueprints were extremely valuable, the materials needed were also so expensive that a normal city could not afford them.


    Right now, not only was he penniless, but he was also £¤2,000,000 in debt. Even if he had the skills, he would not be able to forge the weapon.


    Wu Mo was sitting on the couch, looking at the translucent panel in front of him and muttering to himself.


    [Do not worry, host. All the materials needed to forge a Divine weapon can be exchanged with points in the system''s store. The points needed for the exchange can be obtained by influencing the outside world. The greater the influence of the Divine weapon that the host forges on the outside world, the greater the points he obtains.]


    After hearing the system''s exnation, Wu Mo was suddenly enlightened. Based on his current intelligence, as long as he made good use of the Forging Space and Workbench, he couldpletely forge a Divine weapon that far exceeded his current ability. When the time came, he could find a ce to sell it and easily pay off the £¤2,000,000 he owed.


    As for the final-year project that troubled his predecessor, it was not difficult in his eyes.


    Thinking of this, Wu Mo immediately rxed. With the system, everything would definitely develop in a good direction. In a short while, he would be able to return to being a four-star cksmith. He might even be able to help his predecessor fulfill his long-cherished wish!

 Chapter 3 Divine Weapon Blueprint, Mjolnir!

    Just as Wu Mo was about to enter the Divine Forging Space to take a look, his phone abruptly rang with a short ringtone.


    Taking out his phone, Wu Mo noticed that there was an unread notification on the screen.


    It was a message from the Divine Weapon Academy''s Professor Zhou Yan. "Students, have you allpleted your Divine Weapon blueprint? I''ll go to each ss tomorrow morning to collect the blueprints. In a month''s time, it will be graduation season. When the timees, all students will be required to forge the Divine Weapon in front of the entire school''s teachers. Please make use of your time and strive toplete your task on the day of the trial!"


    Professor Zhou Yan had sent arge paragraph of information in the Divine Weapon Academy''s group message. Moreover, she had even tagged all members of the group. The others who were chatting and bragging in the group suddenly stopped.


    "Don''t worry, professor. We''ll definitely work hard."


    After more than ten seconds, messages from the other Forgemasters appeared in the group.


    "We prepared our designs long ago. We''re just waiting for the day of graduation to show off our skills."


    "Although I''ve also finished making it, I still have to say that I hate straight-A students."


    "No matter how hard I work, I can''tpare to the big boss. It''s rotten."


    "@student Shen, please don''t spread negative energy."


    The many Forgemasters who were active in the academy''s group chat all expressed their opinions. Wu Mo quickly skimmed through the messages and could not help but click his tongue.


    Most of the Forgemasters in the group were full of confidence. Some even revealed the grade of the Divine Weapon that they were going to forge on graduation day in advance. They seemed to have a lot of faith in their work.


    Wu Mo thought that he was probably the only one among all the Forgemasters in the entire Divine Weapon Academy who had yet to make a move.


    From this, one could see how mad his predecessor had be at that time. He did not even care about his final-year design and only wanted to forge a Divine Weapon.


    Nevertheless, Wu Mo was not flustered at this moment. Instead, he was eager to give it a try.


    Although he had fullyprehended the memories left behind by his predecessor, Wu Mo still had not tried forging any equipment. Now that he had an opportunity, he had to give it his all.


    Putting his phone back into his pocket, Wu Mo began to think about what kind of weapon he would forge. He had lived on Earth before and had nevere into contact with any weapons other than kitchen appliances. Now that he was in such a predicament, he did not know what to do.


    "Forget it, I''ll go into the Forging Space and take a look first."


    Having made up his mind, Wu Mo slowly closed his eyes and focused his mind.


    The next second, he noticed that all the sounds around him had disappeared without a trace.


    He quickly opened his eyes and saw nothingness before him. The entire Forging Space was like an unopened universe with no boundaries.


    His surroundings were pitch-ck, and he could not see a single thing. There was only a workbench not far away, which was suspended in midair and emitting a faint majestic light.


    Here, Wu Mo felt as if he had cut off his connection to the outside world and was engulfed by a stretch of darkness.


    It was his first time entering a Divine-grade Forging Space, and he was a little nervous. However, he soon adapted to it and promptly walked up to the Divine-grade Forging Workbench.


    The so-called workbench was an integrated equipment with manyponents.


    One could construct blueprints, or directly use materials to forge a Divine Weapon on it because it had all the functions.


    Right then, a golden Divine Weapon Forging Blueprint was floating on the workbench, waiting for Wu Mo to open it.<sub> </sub>


    "Is it about to begin?"


    Wu Mo''s gaze became firm, and he was ready to start construction ording to the first Divine Weapon Forging Blueprint that belonged to him!


    He used his hand to lightly tap on the golden blueprint, and the system''s voice reverberated in his mind a secondter.


    [Please choose the type of weapon you would like to forge from the following options.


    [de-type, Sword-type, Long-handle-type, Ranged-type, Ax-type, Hammer-type...]


    At the next moment, the golden blueprint suddenly unfolded, and different types of weapons appeared in front of him. The dazzling array of weapons almost blinded Wu Mo''s eyes.


    Looking at the various types of weapons in front of him, Wu Mo hesitated for a moment. Then, his gaze gradually stopped on the hammer-type weapons.


    He thought that in order to be a powerful forger, he would definitely need a suitable forging tool. Weapons could only be used on the battlefield. Meanwhile, hammers could be used as forging equipment and also for battle purposes. They had the greatest range of use.


    After all, a Divine Weapon blueprint was extremely precious. If he went about it in a shy way, it would be a waste.


    After making up his mind, the painting in front of him suddenly disappeared and turned into a yellowish, ancient-looking blueprint.


    [Ding! Congrattions, host, for obtaining the blueprint for the Divine Weapon, Mjolnir.


    [This blueprint contains the full forging process and information regarding Mjolnir. Upon careful reading, you will be able to understand how to forge Mjolnir.]


    Wu Mo approached the workbench and looked at the ancient blueprint on the screen. The dense information on it made his scalp go numb.


    However, he was surprised to find that as he read, the forging-rted knowledge would appear in his mind. It looked like the contents of the blueprint were directly transmitted into his mind. The magical process ended in less than a minute.


    Then, the blueprint, whichy on the workbench in front of him, instantly became weathered and disappeared without a trace.


    All the knowledge rted to the forging of Thor''s hammer, which had been recorded in the blueprint, was carved into Wu Mo''s brain.


    Wu Mo pretty much understood the entire forging process at this point. He urately discovered that the memories his predecessor left behind in rtion to forging actually contained many mistakes.


    That was probably the reason why he had failed again and again to fulfill his long-cherished wish.


    The forging of special weapons could be categorized into three steps: designing blueprints, forging rudimentary shapes, and tempering as well as strengthening.


    The initial design step waspleted with materials such as paper, pens, ink, and so on. These special materials could only be purchased within the Forgemaster academies, and the better the materials used, the more crucial the information in the blueprint.


    After that, the process of casting the rudimentary shape required the use of a furnace, a mold, and a hammer for forging.


    The furnace was a core item, and it was also a key piece of equipment that was prohibited from being exported by the country. Only the Forgemaster academies orrge ns had it. The quality of each furnace was different, and it could also affect the strength of the rudimentary form that was eventually produced.


    Molds could be bought from all kinds of shops, and it was not rare for them to be used in the shaping of Divine Weapons.


    The hammers used for forging were also not controlled. However, there were very few high-quality hammers, and onlyrge colleges or aristocratic families could get their hands on them.


    The final tempering and strengthening process was moreplicated, and the quality of the tools used tended to be uneven. There were strengthening scrolls, gemstones that added attributes to weapons, and blood des. Lastly, one needed to increase the sharpness of the tools, which was more crucial.

 Chapter 4 Growth Through Failure And Backtracking

    The design blueprint was the foundation, the rudimentary form was the shape, and the final weapon''s final grade was determined through refining and strengthening. Every step was extremely important. A good cksmith had to master all the knowledge above. If there was one step that he could not master, he could only work in a foundry and be one of its thousands of screws in the future.


    Therefore, toplete his final-year design, he had to first understand the contents of the blueprint and then copy the blueprint of Mjolnir ording to the information on it.


    To do that, he needed paper, a pen, and ink. However, in Wu Mo''s single dormitory, there was only a pile of waste, not even a set of intact casting materials.


    <o>,m Thinking of this, Wu Mo immediately focused his mind and escaped the Forging Space.</o>


    In the next moment, his five senses returned to him. Wu Mo slowly opened his eyes and looked at the time on his phone.


    Before entering the Forging Space, he had deliberately looked at the time as well. Previously, it was 5.20 pm, but now, the time on his phone was 5.21 pm.


    To be precise, ten seconds had only passed on his phone, which was exactly the same as the Forging Space''s description of slowing down the flow of time by a hundred times!


    Wu Mo''s expression was full of excitement, but he did not forget what he was supposed to do.


    Standing up from the couch, Wu Mo opened his Paypal ount with some anxiety and looked at the bnce in it.


    There was £¤12,700.


    The number that appeared on the screen made Wu Mo''s heart turn cold with excitement.


    This bit of money might not be enough for him to buy the paper, pen, and ink for better casting.


    He was speechless in his heart, but when he thought of the need to hand in the design drawings tomorrow morning, Wu Mo could only resign to his fate.


    Putting on his coat, Wu Mo opened the door of the single dormitory and hurried downstairs.


    The sky outside was dark, and the sun had already set to the west. The sunlight had also be gentler.


    On the way, Wu Mo lowered his head and did not respond to the curious gazes around him. He walked straight to the materials store.


    The store was hundreds of square meters in size, and its middle-aged boss was sitting by the counter. He looked Wu Mo up and down before he curiously asked, "What would you like to buy, young man?"


    Wu Mo raised his head and went straight to the point. "How much is the average casting pen here?"


    He knew the approximate price of these materials. A good casting pen would cost tens of thousands of yuan, but he was still unwilling to give up. Wu Mo did not want to buy the worst one.


    After all, he was using it to draw the design for Mjolnir. If he used something that was too poor, it would be unworthy of the quality of Thor''s hammer.


    The middle-aged boss frowned. Then, he took out a gilded pen from the shelf at the side. "This one costs £¤25,000. Do you think it''ll work?"


    Looking at the faint blue light that the casting pen emanated, Wu Mo''s expectant expression froze on the spot.


    "Forget it. I''ll just take a beginner''s set."


    After listening to him, the boss clicked his tongue. He started to be a little impatient as he lowered his head and searched for a moment. Then, he threw a set of paper, pen, and ink with simple packaging on the counter.


    "One set for £¤12,000. Scan the code."


    After tapping on the ss with the QR code printed on it, the boss turned his gaze back to the currently popr TV series, "The Legend of the Mortal Casting."


    Wu Mo was not affected by the boss'' attitude. Once he paid the bill, he took the materials and left the shop.


    On the way back, he looked at the few hundred yuan left in his Paypal and sighed internally. The most trashy set of materials had exhausted all of his savings. No wonder forging was said to be the most expensive profession in the country.


    When he returned to his single dormitory, which was dozens of square meters in size, Wu Mo closed his eyes again and impatiently entered the Forging Space.<sub> </sub>


    The surrounding sounds disappeared, and he opened his eyes. At that moment, he realized that there was actually a set of paper, pen, and ink for casting on the workbench in front of him.


    "Hu... Let''s begin."


    Wu Mo took a deep breath and spread out the one-square-meter casting paper.


    He held the gray casting pen in his hand, which did not have any luster on its surface, and lightly dipped it in ink. Then, he began the first drawing session.


    Wu Mo followed the blueprint memory in his mind and lightly drew the first stroke on the white casting paper.


    Right then, visible energy enveloped his entire body. In an instant, Wu Mo felt his emotions calm down, and his thoughts started to move much faster.


    He quickly understood that this had to be due to the workbench''s amplification effect.


    Wu Mo''s confidence had greatly increased, so he did not hesitate any longer and started writing. As the ink blots merged, the rudimentary shape of the thunder god''s hammer quickly appeared on the casting paper.


    Wu Mo then drew a series of mysterious runes on the hammer''s handle. The copying process had been perfectly carried out up to 50% at this point.


    However, just as Wu Mo was about to draw his next stroke, an indiscernible gray light abruptly materialized. In the next second, the entire casting paper erupted with fluctuating energy. Immediately after, countless cracks formed on the paper, turning it into a piece of waste!


    Looking at the scene before him, Wu Mo waspletely rooted to the spot. His heart trembled, and his previously calm emotions disappeared without a trace.


    Looking at the mess of the casting paper and the cracked tip of the pen, Wu Mo could not figure out what had gone wrong.


    [The drawing of the design has failed. Do you wish to activate the backtrack function?]


    The system''s voice rang out in his mind, and Wu Mo''s long and narrow eyes lit up. He immediately selected the backtrack function.


    [Ding! Backtrack sessful. The host''s previous failure was due to the wrong order of drawing, resulting in an imbnce of energy. Please continue working hard.]


    A white light shed in front of his eyes, and Wu Mo subconsciously covered his peepers. When darkness returned to his surroundings, he was delighted to find that the original damaged paper and pen had been restored to their original state.


    "I refuse to believe that I won''t be able to understand a single drawing!"


    Wu Mo picked up the forging pen again. This time, he was even more careful, and his speed was much slower than before.


    Every stroke contained 12% of his knowledge. It was not until half an hourter that he was able to draw Mjolnir''s outline again.


    This time, his strokes were even clearer and more organized than thest time. There was even a faint glow on the surface, which showed peak quality.


    "There shouldn''t be any mistakes this time, right?"


    Wu Mo straightened out his train of thought and drew another stroke.


    The ck ink slid across the paper. Nothing unusual happened, and things remained calm.


    Seeing that he had sessfully ovee the previous difficulty, a sense of aplishment rose in Wu Mo''s heart. He had originally wanted to take advantage of this surge of energy to finish his work in one go, but before he could draw another three strokes, the same situation happened again. The entire paper was torn into pieces!


    The surge of energy even knocked over the ink beside him, spilling it all over the ground.


    "Backtrack!"


    Wu Mo did not hesitate at all and immediately chanted in his heart.


    White light shed again, and the damaged paper and ink appeared in front of him once more.

 Chapter 5 Production Success, Pride And Prejudice In The Academy

    [Ding! Backtrack sessful. The previous attempt failed because the host skipped two steps, resulting in an imbnce of energy. Please continue to work hard.]


    Hearing the system''s backtracking notification, Wu Mo looked at the paper with a conflicted expression. At that moment, he was beginning to doubt his ability in forging.


    He had clearly memorized the blueprint of the thunder god''s hammer in his mind. Why did he continue to make mistakes? There were only a few hundred strokes, so why were there always errors in the order or ws.


    Wu Mo let out a long sigh. Although he knew that the process of drawing the design draft wasplicated and the probability of failure was extremely high, he was still struck by the degree of difficulty upon execution.


    In just a short span of forty minutes, he had already damaged two sets of casting materials. If it were not for the fact that the Divine-grade Forging Workbench allowed backtracking, he would not have made any progress!


    Distracting thoughts arose in his mind, but Wu Mo forced himself to pick up the coin and make his next attempt.


    When he progressed up to 70%, there was a slight deviation in the outline of the stroke, resulting in another failure.


    Backtrack...


    At 55% of progress, there was no distinction between the primary and secondary strokes, which led to an energy imbnce failure.


    Backtrack again...


    For the entire night, Wu Mo drew repeatedly between each failure and backtrack, forcing himself to remember the reason for each failure in his heart. He strived to not make mistakes again the next time.


    The determination in his heart waspletely stimted, and the numerous repetitions had helped Wu Mo''s casting ability to improve at the speed of lightning!


    After dozens or even hundreds of drawings, Wu Mo''s hand became as steady as a mountain, and he could move the pen without any deviation.


    Following his instincts, he sketched out the lines bit by bit.


    As for the progress of the production, it was difficult to reach 70% in the beginning, but he got to the point where thepletion rate exceeded 90% a few times.


    However, the final step of sketching gave him the most knowledge points, and Wu Mo had also been making many mistakes in the final segment.


    Nevertheless, every time he made a mistake, Wu Mo would be able to avoid it perfectly the next time he drew. That helped his drawing speed to be increasingly fast, and he was also getting closer and closer to 100%pletion!


    After hundreds of sesses and failures, Wu Mo''s heart became as calm as the surface of ake. Even in the face of failure, he no longer wavered.


    Time passed little by little. In the chaotic Forging Space, Wu Mo carried out the same process several thousand times.


    It was not until a golden light appeared that his hand trembled gently as he gripped the casting pen!


    The casting paper thaty t on the workbench was releasing a dazzling light. The ink runes on it seemed to being to life!


    The originally colorless Mjolnir was now giving off a metallic luster. The hammer''s straight handle had also turned dark yellow as if there was energy flowing within it.


    [Congrattions, host, for sessfully copying the blueprint for Mjolnir.


    [As the host has sessfullypleted a blueprint design for the first time, the host has been rewarded with one Random-grade Weapon Forging Blueprint.]


    Upon hearing the system''s voice, Wu Mo''s expression was slightly shocked, and he quickly shook off his feelings of being mystified.


    Looking at the design blueprint that was emitting a golden light in front of him, a sense of aplishment suddenly filled his heart.


    He had actually copied the design blueprint for Thor''s hammer!


    Countless hours of hard work had not been in vain!


    "Looks like my talent in forging isn''t weak after all!"


    Wu Mo stretched out his trembling right hand and looked at his ink-stained fingers as he muttered to himself excitedly.<sub> </sub>


    With this blueprint, he had the confidence to earn the best score in the Divine Arms Academy''s graduation assessment and regain the honor of being a Four-star cksmith!


    Putting away the blueprint for Mjolnir, Wu Mo slowly closed his eyes and immediately exited the special space.


    There was no concept of time in the Forging Space. Wu Mo felt that he had stayed there for at least a couple dozen hours. He had even gone through the process of retracing time hundreds of times.


    Opening his eyes, Wu Mo realized that he was indeed holding the design blueprint, which was emitting a faint light. He opened his phone and looked at the time. He realized that only twenty minutes had passed in the real world.


    "Just as I expected..."


    Wu Mo sighed. Soon after, his eyelids felt a little heavy, and a wave of drowsiness overcame him, causing him to subconsciously yawn. It was as if he had stayed up all night, and his entire body felt weak.


    He had previously assumed that his mental strength would not be exhausted in the Forging Space. Now, it seemed that the situation was not as he had thought.


    Sketching the design blueprint was a very draining task. In addition, Wu Mo had repeated the process hundreds of times in one night.


    Although the workbench could greatly reduce the user''s weariness, Wu Mo had made too many attempts. Even if he returned to the real world, his spirit energy would still be consumed.


    Dragging his heavy body, Wu Mo returned to the bedroom. He carefully kept his design report in the drawer and set the rm clock for the next morning on his phone. After he did all that, he could no longer hold on and fell asleep on the bed.


    ...


    That night, Wu Mo slept soundly. The next day, the rm clock on his phone rang for a full two minutes before he finally got out of bed reluctantly.


    He habitually pushed the window open, and sunlight shone in, apanied by a gentle breeze that brushed past his delicate face. Wu Mo felt warm all over.


    There was an indescribable sense offort.


    The opposite dormitory building was in his line of sight, and he could see many people already preparing to go to ss. "It seems that even in a parallel world, there''s no escape from the status quo," Wu Mo smacked his lips and said somewhat helplessly.


    Sighing, Wu Mo went to the bathroom to wash up. Subsequently, he ced the brand new design blueprint into his bag, put on his coat, and left the single dormitory.


    After walking for five to six minutes in the academy, Wu Mo arrived at his ssroom without incident.


    The special Divine Arms Academy''s teaching model was basically the same as on Earth.


    There were about thirty students in a ss, and they were taught by a teacher.


    Walking into the tiered ssroom, Wu Mo quickly found his seat.


    "Sigh... The sun has risen from the west. The genius cksmith actually came to ss today!"


    <o>,m Wu Mo had just sat down when he heard a whisper behind him. In fact, when he walked into the ssroom, the surrounding students revealed surprised expressions. It was as if seeing him in ss was a strange thing.</o>


    However, Wu Mo was unbothered. He was not a person who cared about the opinions of others. In addition, his predecessor had locked himself up at home to borrow money to forge a Divine Weapon. This behavior was indeed a little strange, so it was not surprising for others to have such an attitude toward him.


    "Today is the day we hand in our final-year manuscripts. That guy will definitelye. If he doesn''t hand it in, won''t he be expelled from school?"


    "That''s true. But that guy''s gone mad. Would he really care about his degree?"


    "If I be like that, I might as well just bang my head against the wall and die. My life would be a waste. To forge a Divine Weapon is simply a fool''s dream."


    A few boys saw Wu Mo sitting down with his head lowered, and they immediately spoke with mocking expressions.


    In the past few years in the academy, Wu Mo had almost stolen the limelight from all of them, and their teacher had even called him a genius. Now that they were seeing him again, they were all extremely delighted!

 Chapter 6 Make A Plan And Return To Your Peak!

    The surrounding students were animated as they discussed Wu Mo. But when they saw that he was reading with a straight face and his head lowered, they got tired of talking about him.


    It was not until ten minutester, when the teacher in charge of their ss walked in, that the voices of the various cksmiths gradually disappeared.


    Sensing that the voices had weakened, Wu Mo immediately raised his head and looked at the door.


    He immediately noticed the teacher who had arrived. It was Professor Zhou Yan, who had urged the group to hand in their final-year designsst night.


    Professor Zhou Yan rushed into the ss with a document bag. Today, she wore a ck shirt and jeans, showing off her slender and well-proportioned curves.


    Her long ck hair fell over her shoulders, and her hair was slightly curled. Together with her exquisite and charming facial features, she gave off a schrly temperament.


    Wu Mo immediately closed his book. "The information in the textbook is too general. Even if I memorize all of it, it won''t improve my casting ability by much!" he said with slight disappointment.


    "Good morning, students. By the way, you should have your final-year design drawings prepared, right? Now, please hand in your design drawings, and I''ll review them for the academy''s leaders!"


    "If everything goes as expected, you''ll need to forge the weapons you''ve designed for the graduation assessment next month. Therefore, in the next month, you will need to focus on practicing the skills that youck," Professor Zhou Yan opened her document bag and said to everyone with a serious face.


    The ssroom immediately quieted down. After a few seconds, someone stood up and walked toward the professor with the drawing of his design.


    Wu Mo remained in his seat, looking at the crowded aisle in the middle. He nned to wait until the end before he got up.


    The students in front of him handed in the design drawings that they had put their blood and sweat into one after another. Meanwhile, Professor Zhou Yan ced them into her document bag one by one.


    The young cksmiths returned to their seats with full confidence. However, someone soon discovered that Wu Mo, who was sitting by the window, had not moved at all.


    "Haha, I was right. This guy didn''t prepare any design drafts!"


    "He''s probablypletely ruined. He owes several million for refining high-level Divine Weapons, and his strength has regressed to less than one star. I''m afraid he won''t be able to produce any decent designs at all."


    "Tsk tsk, it''s a pity. He was clearly a talented cksmith in our group back then. Fate is ying tricks on him."


    More and more people began to talk about Wu Mo. They seemed to find some sense of superiority over the miserable Wu Mo. They could not help but feel pleased with themselves.


    Soon, Professor Zhou Yan also noticed that something was wrong. She immediately turned her gaze to Wu Mo. She frowned slightly and could not help but think to herself, ''Wu Mo, haven''t you snapped out of your obsession?''


    Most of the people in ss were focused on Wu Mo. They wanted to see how the former genius cksmith would end up this time!


    In the face of his ssmates'' ridicule and the teacher''s doubts, Wu Mo sniffed and stood up from his seat with a calm expression. He held the design blueprint that he had prepared beforehand and walked steadily toward the podium.


    "Hey... this guy actually came prepared!"


    "Hmph, he deliberately didn''t hand it over just to make us notice him. He''s just a clown!"


    "Wu Mo hasn''t been to sstely. His strength has plummeted. Under such circumstances, what kind of design blueprint can he draw?"


    "In my opinion, it''s definitely a Regr-grade Weapon that only the most elementary cultivators would use!"<sub> </sub>


    "Trash! If Wu Mo wants to forge a Regr-grade Weapon in front of the entire school once the graduation assessment begins next month, I''m afraid that he''ll bring disgrace to our ss!"


    "Someone like him should have been expelled from the Divine Arms Academy long ago, but Professor Zhou Yan cares too much for him..."


    When they saw Wu Mo walk toward the podium, the students in the ss were immediately shocked. For a moment, they started to discuss among themselves. At the same time, they were curious about what kind of blueprint this fellow, who usually did not attend sses, could produce!


    Professor Zhou Yan, who was standing on the podium, looked at Wu Mo with a conflicted expression. She felt rather regretful toward this student of hers. With his talent, he could have definitely strived for a "Five-star cksmith" title before the graduation assessment. Unfortunately, the other party''s thoughts had changed, and he had be silent. Being dominated by the obsession in his heart all day long, he became increasingly depressed!


    "Professor Zhou, this is my final-year design blueprint. Please have a look."


    Wu Mo walked up to the professor and raised his head with a smile as he handed her the rolled-up blueprint.


    Zhou Yan was slightly stunned. Her hand, which was suspended in midair, froze.


    She realized that Wu Mo''s expression was nonchnt. His eyes were shining as if he had returned to the confident and calm intelligent cksmith from before!


    Even the smile on his face was calm. It did not look anything like the stubborn and gloomy Wu Mo from before. It was as if he had changed into a different person!


    "Professor, are you not feeling well?" Wu Mo raised his eyebrows and asked suspiciously.


    "Oh... No, I just didn''t have a good rest yesterday."


    Zhou Yan gave him a random excuse and immediately epted the design draft. She slowly unfolded it and took a look.


    However, Zhou Yan was a professor in the field of forging after all. With just a nce, she could tell that many parts of the blueprint did not make sense. The shape of the hammer waspletely different from a sharp weapon. Even if such a tool was forged, it would likely not be of much use.


    She shook her head, closed the design draft, and put it directly into her document bag.


    After looking at the design draft, Zhou Yan felt that her previous assumption had beenpletely groundless. If Wu Mo was really back to the way he was, he would definitely not design such a thing.


    In her heart, she stopped thinking about guiding him. The current Wu Mo was too paranoid, and no matter what she said, it would be useless.


    "Wu Mo, you should be more down-to-earth. Don''t keep thinking about innovation, and don''t just aim high but forget about the original practicality of weapons. Now that your studies areing to an end, you should first ensure that you can graduate sessfully and find a stable job before you consider pursuing your dreams..."


    ''Otherwise, you''ll ruin yourself!''


    Zhou Yan did not want to see Wu Mo being held back in the end, so she still gave him some advice. However, she did not say thatst sentence. Ultimately, Wu Mo was already under pressure from the rest of the ss, hence there was no need for her to put him down.


    Wu Mo stood straight on the spot. Once Professor Zhou Yan finished speaking, he nodded and seriously said, "I understand, Professor Zhou. Thank you for telling me so much."


    After Wu Mo finished speaking, he got ready to turn around and leave. He knew that Professor Zhou Yan was very good to him, but he did not intend to exin anything.


    At the end of the day, the drawing was his first draft of Mjolnir. It was a Divine-grade instrument. Even if he said everything out loud, the others would probably think that he was crazy.


    Instead of wasting his breath, it was better to take action. When the time came for the graduation assessment, he would make everyone shut their mouths!

 Chapter 7 Materials Worth Millions

    Even though he had fallen into such a state in the past few months, Professor Zhou Yan never gave up on him.


    Despite his skills not being as good as before, he remained stubborn and stopped attending ss for a long time. Professor Zhou would often call him to ask about his current situation.


    Over the past few years in the academy, Professor Zhou Yan had always taken care of him. If it were not for her, Wu Mo would have been stripped of his Four-star cksmith status long ago. He might even have been expelled from the academy.


    Wu Mo knew that Professor Zhou Ya must have been under a lot of pressure in the academy because of him.


    "Don''t worry, Professor Zhou. I''ll definitely return to my peak within this month!"


    Returning to his seat, Wu Mo thought to himself. Now that he had the help of the Divine-grade Forging Space, he would definitely be able to achieve a high level as long as he used it properly.


    "Alright, next, you guys need to review the content of the strengthening segment. In twenty minutes, a professor will let you witness actualbat. Meanwhile, I''ll send your documents for review. Once that''spleted, each of your designs will be registered with copyright."


    After Zhou Yan left them with those words, she carried her document bag and walked out the door.


    The voices that had disappeared filled every corner of the ssroom once again following the professor''s departure.


    Wu Mo selectively filtered out the unbeneficial conversations, then lowered his head and began to make ns for the future.


    A monthter, he would be required to produce Mjolnir on the spot. That meant he needed to master the two major steps of rough casting, as well as tempering and strengthening, in a short period of time. He also needed to gather all the necessary materials to make a Divine artifact.


    Even though it was extremely difficult, Wu Mo''s determination in forging the thunder god''s hammer.


    He was doing it not only because forging a Divine weapon was his predecessor''sst wish, but also because he understood in his heart that a hammer with a strong texture was the foundation to be a great cksmith.


    If one wanted to do a good job, one needed to sharpen his weapon. Wu Mo understood that very well.


    To create a Divine weapon, one could use the Divine-grade Forging Space and Forging Workbench to execute the rough casting and tempering steps. However, the materials were a difficult task for the current Wu Mo!


    If he could not gather all the materials, he would not be able to use the workbench to improve his forging skills. Therefore, he needed to focus on the materials this month!


    Thinking of this, Wu Mo focused his mind and tried to check through the system for the materials needed to forge Mjolnir.


    The system sensed his thoughts and immediately provided him with the results at the next second.


    [The materials for forging Mjolnir are as follows: Blessed Mithril x10, Violet Thunder Origin Stone x1, Legendary Essence x1, Clear Cyan Mound Stone x1, Centennial Serpentine Wood x5. You require 170,000 points to redeem them.]


    Hearing the system''s notification, Wu Mo''s face darkened, and he felt like crying.


    Out of the five materials listed by the system, only two had been mentioned before.


    The cost was so high that it made one''s hair stand on end...


    Wu Mo made a rough estimate. Even a kilogram of ordinary mithril usually cost more than £¤200,000, and those with the "Blessed" prefix could not even be found in his entire academy.


    As for the Legendary Essence, it was so rare that onlyrge-scale chambers ofmerce had it in stock. Moreover, it could be sold at crazy premium prices. It was an extremely popr material and sold for at least £¤3,000,000 in auctions!


    After all, in order to forge a legendary weapon, Legendary Essence was indispensable to the weapon''s soul!


    As for the Origin Stone and the Centennial Serpentine Wood, Wu Mo had never heard of them. But he did not have to think to know that they would cost at least £¤1,000,000.


    Therefore, Wu Mo only made a rough estimate. If he wanted to obtain all the materials for Thor''s hammer, it would definitely cost him over £¤6,000,000.


    At that moment, Wu Mo somewhat understood how his predecessor could owe £¤2,000,000 just from forging weapons.


    A high-level Divine weapon was simply a bottomless pit that burned money!


    Right now, he was also facing the predicament of not being able to afford the materials, so he needed even more funds.<sub> </sub>


    Moreover, he did not even have the opportunity to borrow money. He was already in debt, and he had been cklisted by those institutions that lent money a long time ago.


    If it had not been for his identity as a cksmith, those money lenders would have alreadye looking for him.


    "This is going to be difficult..."


    Wu Mo looked at the table that had many marks carved on it and gradually fell into deep thought.


    If he wanted to forge a Divine artifact, he had to get a huge sum of £¤7,000,000 within a month. Sadly, he was so poor that he only had around £¤600 left. There was no way at all.


    Just as Wu Mo was about to get lost in his thoughts, a bold idea suddenly shed through his mind.


    If he wanted to earn money while he studied, a part-time job should be a good option!


    After all, back when Wu Mo was studying on Earth, he had earned most of his tuition fees from a summer job. Due to his hardworking character, he had never relied on anyone else ever since he became an adult.


    Furthermore, he was now a cksmith. With his current status, earning money should not be too difficult!


    Wu Mo narrowed his eyes slightly. He felt that he could put this idea into action.


    After all, the courses in the cksmith academy were notpulsory. There were also many students from average families who would look for opportunities to take part-time jobs.


    The most suitable part-time job for a cksmith was one that entailed a trip to the major chambers ofmerce to take orders for building equipment. However, the job required a higher level of individual skills. Generally, a cksmith with skills below two stars would not be able to ept any job.


    Thinking of that, Wu Mo immediately stood up from his seat. He picked up his coat and walked out of the ssroom.


    That was his personality. Once he had a good idea, he would quickly get into action.


    Since he was about to graduate, there was no point in cramming everything at thest minute. Instead of observing the professor''sbat ss, he might as well go out and find a job. He would be able to learn more.


    When the surrounding students saw Wu Mo leave the ssroom without any hesitation, they were all astonished.


    "This fellow doesn''t even attend sses. This is simply too outrageous."


    "Hehe, he still dares to skip sses now. When the timees for the graduation assessment, we''ll teach him a lesson!"


    The crowd expressed their disdain for Wu Mo''s actions of skipping sses. How could a cksmith who did not have any desire to learnbat forge a powerful weapon?!


    Be that as it may, since the academy did not force students to attend sses, they could do nothing but verbally condemn him.


    ...


    On the other side, Wu Mo produced his Divine Arms Academy identification card and sessfully exited the academy''s gates.


    Looking at the stream of peopleing and going, he directly walked toward the chamber ofmerce located near the academy.


    The Divine Arms Academy was located at the center of the city. Its surroundings were well-equipped with facilities, and there were even tworge-scale chambers ofmerce in the city. Small shops lined up on either side of the street, so even though it was only 8.00 am, it was still extremely lively.


    Wu Mo chose to go to one of the tworge chambers ofmerce, Treasure Pavilion.


    Treasure Pavilion not only sold weapons with spirit energy, but it also had all kinds of armor and props. It also held auctions on a regr basis, and it was famous. That was also the reason why Wu Mo chose it.


    Wu Mo nced at the que hanging on the door. There were threerge words written on it in calligraphy. They spelled, "Treasure Pavilion."


    The ce was bustling with people. The decorations inside consisted of carved beams and painted pirs, which disyed a magnificent scene. Wu Moposed himself and immediately walked in.

 Chapter 8 Visit Treasure Pavilion And Receive A Design Order Worth ï¿¥350,000

    Wu Mo drew a curtain aside and walked into Treasure Pavilion. Immediately, many gazes gathered around him.


    However, when the people noticed that Wu Mo was wearing a cksmith''s robe, their curious gazes immediately became respectful.


    Under the country''s rarest job ss, not only did cksmiths have a strict evaluation system, but they also had their own exclusive clothing.


    At that moment, Wu Mo was wearing a dark blue cksmith robe. The robe was made of soft silk that clung to the skin. Its overall design was gorgeous and elegant. There was also a golden embroidered pattern on his chest. It depicted a long sword that emanated a cold air as it was inserted into the ground. That was the Divine Arms Academy''s logo.


    On top of the image, there were four stars that gave off a silver luster. They represented the identity of a Four-star cksmith!


    Wu Mo had six sets of simr clothes in his dormitory. Furthermore, they were divided into winter and summer. That was enough to prove the importance the country ced on cksmiths!


    It was also the only way for ordinary people to identify a cksmith!


    When they discovered that the guest who had entered was a young Four-star cksmith, the surrounding people subconsciously took a few steps back, afraid that they would bump into the other party.


    Their gazes toward Wu Mo also became respectful, gentle, and even adoring.


    However, the preferential treatment of a Four-star cksmith in society was far more than that. When the staff of Treasure Pavilion saw Wu Mo, they immediately walked over with quick steps and respectfully said, "Sir, wee to Treasure Pavilion. Is there anything I can help you with?"


    The person who spoke to Wu Mo was a woman in a cheongsam. She appeared to be in her early twenties. Her skin was fair and extremely supple. Her waist was slim, and her voice was like a silver bell. It was melodious and pleasant to the ear.


    Her name was Yu Qing, and she was one of the receptionists in Treasure Pavilion. Thanks to her beautiful appearance and elegant temperament, she was arranged to only receive high-status guests such as cksmiths and cultivators.


    Wu Mo raised his eyebrows slightly and immediately answered in a deep voice, "I would like to take on the orders. I wonder if there are any suitable ones in Treasure Pavilion."


    Upon hearing that, Yu Qing smiled. "Don''t worry. There are all kinds of orders in Treasure Pavilion. There will definitely be some suitable ones for you. Let me show you around."


    The two of them walked forth in session, and soon, Wu Mo arrived at the reception hall. He found a lot of information about the orders on a screen embedded in the wall.


    He could not help but sigh in his heart. Treasure Pavilion was indeed arge-scale chamber ofmerce. There were all kinds of orders.


    "Sir, our Treasure Pavilion has a variety of orders. For example, the <anno data-annotation-id="dc2d45db-c30d-9b27-636b-64ba7c33080f">OEM</anno> orders are for us to prepare the blueprints. The cksmiths are responsible for casting the blueprints into rough shapes. There are also strengthening orders. For those, the cksmiths are responsible for refining and strengthening the weapons that have already been roughly shaped. "


    "These two orders do not require high qualifications. A Two-star cksmith canplete them alone."


    Once Yu Qing was done speaking, she immediately looked at Wu Mo. She wanted to see how interested this cksmith was in the two orders.


    After Wu Mo heard the introduction, he frowned slightly. He was not very satisfied.


    He had seen the payment of many orders earlier. The payment for the strengthening types and the contract processing types were not too high. Most of the rare orders were only worth thousands of dors.


    He immediately asked, "Are there any others? The ones with higher payment."


    Hearing Wu Mo''s words, the smile on Yu Qing''s face became even brighter. "I believe that with your strength, you definitely won''t be interested in these two types of orders. Actually, there is another design-type order in our Treasure Pavilion," she immediately exined.


    "The design-type orders call for you, the cksmith, to forgeplete equipment ording to the customer''s requirements. However, all the materials needed for the drawing, casting, and strengthening processes will be provided by the customer. As long as the cksmith can forge a finished product that meets the criteria within the required period of time, it will be fine."


    Once she spoke up to this point, the corner of Yu Qing''s mouth curled into a seductive arc as she softly said, "Moreover, the design orders usually pay a lot. It''s at least £¤100,000 or more. I wonder if you are interested in this?"


    In Yu Qing''s opinion, for Wu Mo to be able to obtain the job title of a Four-star cksmith at such a young age, his ability had to be extraordinary. He might actually be able toplete the design order.


    In the order hall, Wu Mo raised his head and looked at the order that popped up on the big screen. His heart was a little restless.


    From Wu Mo''s point of view, there was nothing more suitable for his current situation than a design order. As long as hepleted one, he would be able to handle his urgent situation.<sub> </sub>


    Thinking of that, he immediately nodded his head and agreed.


    Seeing that Wu Mo had given an answer, Yu Qing happily brought Wu Mo to a room not far away.


    Generally speaking, a cksmith who could undertake design would at least be three stars in strength. Naturally, Treasure Pavilion had built a special reception room because they did not want to neglect their hospitality.


    Wu Mo walked into the reception room, and the door was gently closed, immediately isting all sounds from the outside.


    The decoration in the room was luxurious. There were many famous calligraphy paintings mounted on the walls, and the wool carpet under his feet felt soft. Gentle music permeated the room, and the air was filled with a natural floral fragrance.


    Yu Qing led Wu Mo to the couch. Then, she took out seven or eight design sheets and ced them in front of Wu Mo.


    "Sir, please have a look and see if there is anything suitable for you."


    Wu Mo nced at the yard outside the window, which offered a pleasant view. Subsequently, he focused his attention on the order.


    Most of the equipment requests on the order were weapons or defensive equipment, and the requirements were rare or even higher.


    Wu Mo looked at it for a moment, and a special order immediately attracted his attention.


    "Design and Production Order.


    "Investor: Jia Wei (Guangli Trading Company).


    "Investor Requirement: Create equipment that can reduce the weight of materials. Type of equipment is not limited.


    "Pay: £¤350,000.


    "Treasure Pavilion Evaluation: Rtively difficult. To ept it, you need to have the qualifications of a Four-star cksmith."


    Looking at the contents of the order, Wu Mo was a little curious. However, what attracted him the most was the payment. As long as he could design something that met the requirements, he would be able to obtain £¤350,000. That was undoubtedly a huge sum of money for him!


    "I think this isn''t bad. I should be able to meet the requirements and ept it."


    After making up his mind, Wu Mo handed the order to the receptionist and spoke with a firm expression.


    Yu Qing stood up and took the order. She took a cursory nce at it, and her expression became a little awkward.


    "Sir, I don''t rmend that you take this listing..."


    Yu Qing contemted for a moment but eventually told him the situation.


    "Why? Don''t tell me I''m not qualified?" Wu Mo tapped his hand on the table rhythmically as he asked with a frown.


    "Oh... No, I don''t have any intention of doubting your strength. It''s just that this is the most expensive design order in the recent batch, so it has attracted many cksmiths to take it. Several Four-star cksmiths have epted it, and they have already begun to work on it.


    "If you ept it now, not only will you fall behind in your progress, but the reward for the order might also go to other cksmiths first. Therefore, the risk of this design order is too high. It''s better if..."


    As a high-level receptionist, Yu Qing''s words were tactful and clear, allowing Wu Mo to quickly understand the whole story.


    Even so, Wu Mo still intended to ept it, because he already had a brilliant idea in his mind!

 Chapter 9 Forging An Interspatial Ring!

    "It''s alright, I know what I''m doing."


    "Okay... Since you insist, I''ll register it for you."


    Seeing Wu Mo''s determined look, Yu Qing could only sigh in her heart. She hoped that the young cksmith before her really had the ability to match his temperament. Thus, she stopped dissuading him and immediately helped him with registration.


    "I''ll have to trouble you to take care of this, Sir. This is the phone number of the person in charge of our Treasure Pavilion. If you need any materials, you can call us directly. We''ll send someone to deliver them to you."


    "But Sir, you need to be careful. There are only 24 hours left until the deadline for the design order. You need to bring the finished product to Treasure Pavilion before noon tomorrow."


    Wu Mo nodded. "Understood."


    Then, he turned around and walked out the door.


    "I''ll send you off..."


    Yu Qing went forward and pushed the door open. Then, she led Wu Mo all the way to Treasure Pavilion''s entrance.


    "Sir, please take care. Treasure Pavilion will always wee you."


    Wu Mo waved his hand and quickly left the ce.


    Yu Qing stood at the door and watched as the young cksmith''s figure got farther and farther away. She could not help but sigh in her heart.


    Even an amateur like her could tell how difficult it was to craft Rare-grade equipment in one night. She could only pray in her heart that the young cksmith would really seed and that he did note to Treasure Pavilion to get the materials for free.


    As Wu Mo walked on the road, he continued to think about the design order.


    In his opinion, the order was not difficult at all. The limited time of 24 hours could be extended by a hundred times in the Forging Space. It was not difficult.


    After he bought some cooking ingredients from the roadside, Wu Mo jogged all the way back to the academy.


    Once back, he threw the vegetables and meat he had bought into the kitchen. Then, he immediately closed his eyes and entered the Forging Space.


    The feedback in the real world was disconnected with a single cut. When Wu Mo opened his eyes again, there was only chaos left in his surroundings.


    Although he had not obtained the materials yet, entering the Forging Space could greatly slow down the flow of time. It was equivalent to a few hundred more hours per day for Wu Mo.


    While he had no form of entertainment because he could only bring casting materials into the Forging Space, his mind was much more active when he stood beside the workbench.


    Therefore, Wu Mo formed the habit of entering the Forging Space whenever he was free. It was equivalent to prolonging his life!


    Looking at the two-meter-long workbench, Wu Mo gently ced his palm on it.


    In the next moment, his concentration and thinking speed increased by a lot, as though he had entered another state of consciousness.


    "The goal is to help the user reduce the pressure of carrying arge number of materials... In that case, expanding space is one of the best solutions."


    Wu Mo''s expression was unfocused, and he had started to brainstorm in his mind.


    "A backpack with the wind attribute, a pair of boots that can increase speed... These probably won''t solve the root of the problem!"


    As he mulled over it, Wu Mo suddenly remembered a web novel he had read a while ago.


    ''An Interspatial Ring!


    ''Isn''t it amon prop in many novels? It will solve the demand perfectly!


    ''The independent space within the ring can contain any material. It has to be very suitable for those merchants who sell goods everywhere!'' Wu Mo muttered to himself in his heart, but there was a burst of light in his eyes.


    [System, what materials are needed for a good-quality Interspatial Ring?] Wu Mo immediately asked in excitement after he figured out the answer.


    [Screeningplete. A Rare-grade Interspatial Ring has an additional 50 cubic meters of space. The materials required are as follows: Cosmos Stone x1, Mithril x2, Medium-grade Origin Stone x1, Moonlight Dust x1.]<sub> </sub>


    Upon hearing the system''s analysis, Wu Mo promptly memorized it in his mind. Following a short deduction, he realized that there was nothing more suitable than an Interspatial Ring, so he immediately exited the Forging Space.


    At the same time, he dialed the number left by the receptionist.


    "Hello, I am a cksmith who took an order from Treasure Pavilion. I need the following materials..."


    "Yes, Sir. ording to the rules, Treasure Pavilion will prepare three sets of materials. If your attempt fails, the order will be void and both parties will not owe each other anything."


    Wu Mo sat on the couch and smiled. "No problem."


    After he hung up, Wu Mo could not help but sigh in his heart.


    cksmiths were too beloved. Even if their work failed, they did not need to pay a single cent. No wonder the others in the academy were so keen to take up part-time jobs. It was simply not a losing business.


    However, if one wanted to do this, one had to be at least two stars in strength. If one wanted to use high-grade materials to practice, one had to be at least four stars in strength. The threshold was definitely not low.


    In the entire Divine Arms Academy, there were only around 60 cksmiths who managed to reach four stars before graduation.


    The mainstays were basically from one to two stars, and Three-star cksmiths were considered top students.


    In addition, there were many cksmiths with powerful family backgrounds who had no interest in working part-time at Treasure Pavilion.


    Hence, there were not many people in the academy who could enjoy Treasure Pavilion''s VIP treatment.


    After about ten minutes, there was a knock on the door of his single dormitory. Wu Mo got up and opened the door. A young man in uniform appeared outside with a box of materials in his arms.


    "Are You Mr. Wu, whose phone number is 13xx? I''m the delivery man from Treasure Pavilion. These are the materials that you''ve requested."


    Wu Mo nodded. "Thank you for your hard work..."


    The young delivery man waved his hand repeatedly and spoke nervously, "It''s an honor to deliver materials to you, Mr. cksmith. Please sign for them."


    Wu Mo took the pen and signed his name on the delivery list. Then, the delivery man quickly thanked him and left the dormitory building.


    Looking at the box full of materials, the corners of Wu Mo''s mouth curled up into a triumphant smile.


    Treasure Pavilion had sent over three sets of the materials he needed. They set this rule because most cksmiths would make a few mistakes in forging Rare-grade equipment.


    However, Wu Mo had a Forging Space. With the ability to rewind, he only needed one set of materials.


    He could directly put the remaining two sets of materials to proper use. He could even forge two more rings to sell.


    Nevertheless, Wu Mo did not n on revealing his trump card just for a few hundred thousand yuan. He nned to collect the materials first and then make stronger equipment for himself.


    It was because there was an old saying in the Divine Arms Academy. Ordinary trash was waste, rare was expensive, and the best-quality trash was epic.


    A weapon could only be considered powerful if it was of epic quality.


    Although these students had never seen a piece of high-quality equipment before, that did not stop them from epting the statement as truth.


    Wu Mo made himself a decent breakfast to celebrate his great bargain. After he ate breakfast, he opened the delivery box and counted the materials.


    There were not only three sets of materials used for casting but also three sets of high-quality casting paper and pencil sets.


    The value of the materials themselves had already exceeded several hundred thousand yuan.


    If the forging profession had not required a good reputation, Wu Mo would have tried to take on a few more orders and get the best deal from Treasure Pavilion.


    Once he was done with that, Wu Mo brought one set of forging materials along and calmed his mind as he entered the Forging Space. He was prepared to forge the Interspatial Ring in one go!

 Chapter 10 Hundred Refinements To Steel!

    When Wu Mo opened his eyes again, and there was only a shining workbench in front of him. He ced the materials aside and spread the casting paper in front of him.


    The casting paper provided by Treasure Pavilion was obviously better than the one he had used before. The texture was much thicker, and there was also a hint of coolnessing from the casting pen. It all made Wu Mo a little ufortable.


    "Let''s begin..."


    After unscrewing the ink''s cover, Wu Mo immediately went to work.


    Quite a lot of knowledge was required for an Interspatial Ring. Although it was less difficult than Mjolnir, with the iying of gemstones and the construction of a spatial array, it was still an enigma to Wu Mo, who did not have a blueprint.


    Nevertheless, because he had a very solid foundation in forging, Wu Mo quickly finished the first stroke. Then, he entered a state of full concentration.


    Casting was the only thing in his eyes.


    However, that state did notst long. He soon came across his first failure.


    [Ding... Backtrack sessful. The previous failure was due to a problem with the host''s outline. Please continue to work hard.]


    A hint of confusion shed across Wu Mo''s eyes. However, he quickly recovered and continued to draw, gathering all the knowledge and abilities in his mind into the ink on the tip of his pen.


    He did not know how many failures he would experience on the road ahead, but what he could do was take every step possible so that he would not feel the slightest bit of regret each time he drew. Even if he failed, it would not matter.


    The continuous retracing allowed him to be more familiar with the Interspatial Ring''s structure, and he slowly appeared more confident. His every move was steady and calm, without the slightest hint of uncertainty.


    He was not inexperienced in casting at all. He was like an old artisan who had gone through many hardships!


    There was no concept of time in the Forging Space. After he repeated the process for an unknown amount of time, the casting paper in front of him finally erupted with dazzling brilliance. The Interspatial Ring outlined on the paper also seemed to have some kind of enchantment, turning into a flowing light.


    "Did it work?"


    Wu Mo smiled slightly. Joy spread in his heart, but he did not stop working because of it.


    Putting aside the pen and ink that could still be used, Wu Mo took the casting paper and went up to the furnace on the workbench''s right.


    The calm expression on Wu Mo''s face remained as he looked at the rising mes in the furnace. He did not hesitate to throw the materials into the furnace. Then, he gently pulled the bellows, allowing the high temperature to swallow the materials instantly.


    The mithril turned into a pool of liquid, and the energy in the Origin Stone was sessfully extracted. Wu Mo controlled the two streams of energy so that they could slowly fuse. However, the moment the silver liquid came into contact with the Origin Stone''s energy, a small explosion urred inside the furnace. The materials within turned into a pile of ck ash, which was automatically expelled from the furnace.


    Wu Mo did not waste a second and immediately backtracked. At the same time, he understood the error that the system pointed out and immediately began his next casting attempt.


    ...


    Time flew by quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was the next morning.


    There was still half an hour left until the design order deadline.


    In Treasure Pavilion''s backyard garden, a middle-aged man wearing a purple suit walked in with two white horses.


    The middle-aged man was the person in charge of Guangli Trading Company, Jia Wei. He was the one who had delivered the design order to Treasure Pavilion.


    The receptionist immediately brought two Four-star cksmiths over. They had been waiting for a moment, and they were prepared to deliver his order ording to the procedures.<sub> </sub>


    Aside from Jia Wei, the investor, and the two Four-star cksmiths, there were also two old men who were responsible for being guarantors.


    ? Based on Treasure Pavilion''s rules, once the two cksmiths delivered the goods for inspection and the investor confirmed it, no matter what happened in the future, Treasure Pavilion could not be held ountable.


    In addition to stamping on the order, the two guarantors also needed to appraise the equipment to prevent both sides from raising any objections and taking advantage of loopholes.


    "I''m going to West Moon City in two hours. I wonder if the various cksmiths of Treasure Pavilion will be able to surprise me this time," Jia Wei nced at the two carriages of goods behind him and spoke with a smile.


    The two old men with gray hair sat under the sun and waited silently.


    The receptionist promptly said, "Since time is almost up, how about we let these two cksmiths bring out their products for Mr. Jia?"


    Hearing the receptionist''s suggestion, the two Four-star cksmiths immediately nodded in agreement. They were both geniuses of the Divine Arms Academy, and time was precious. It would be better if they could save some time and attend ss.


    Jia Wei also nodded in agreement right away. He had not been able to sleep well for the past two days. He had been thinking about what kind of equipment he could buy, and his heart had constantly been uneasy. Now that he could see the equipment in advance, he was not going to refuse.


    "In that case, I''ll start first..."


    The two cksmiths looked at each other, and the cksmith with slightly curly hair stepped forth and immediately took out the equipment he had forged.


    Then, he proudly introduced the equipment to the people around him. "I have developed a piece of Rare-grade equipment, the Wind Spirit Belt. Please have a look at it!"


    The two old men with gray hair carefully took the dark gray belt. The moment they touched it, they felt a gust of wind sweep across their bodies, and their entire being became light.


    "The Wind Spirit Belt I''ve forged is enchanted with an Intermediate Wind Magic Array. It can reduce the wearer''s weight and greatly increase their walking speed."


    "Boss, you just need to use it for a short moment to feel its effects! If an equipment of this level were to be put on auction, the price would be at least £¤500,000. Furthermore, there are very few equipment with the same effect on the market. Even if it was kept, it would definitely not be bad."


    The cksmith with curly hair was a ss 2 student of the Divine Arms Academy. His name was Han Cheng. He had been promoted to a Four-star cksmith half a year ago and had quite a reputation in the academy.


    At this moment, the two old men who had vouched for him examined the belt and discovered that the energy emitted by the belt had indeed reached a rare standard. They immediately handed it over to Jia Wei.


    The two old men looked at the cksmith with admiration. For the other party to be able to forge such a piece of equipment with such constant energy before he was even 20... That was enough to show that the standard of his forging was definitely not low.


    After Jia Wei obtained the belt, he put it on and used it. He immediately felt like he was being enveloped by the wind. His weight was supposed to be around 80 kilograms, but now, he felt as if his entire body was floating. He estimated that he did not even weigh 50 kilograms.


    "The effects of this Wind Spirit Belt is truly not bad. I really didn''t expect this item toe from your hands. You''re a genius, young man," Jia Wei stroked his beard and said with a smile.


    Han Cheng enjoyed the admiring looks of the people around him, but he appeared humble on the surface.


    "No, I still have a lot to learn in the field of forging. As long as the equipment is satisfactory to you, it will be fine."


    Jia Wei nodded. He really admired such a capable and down-to-earth young man.


    However, the deal was not over yet. He immediately turned his attention to the other cksmith.


    Even though the Wind Spirit Belt''s effects were undeniably good, something still seemed to be missing...

 Chapter 11 Space-Folding Magic Array!

    Jia Wei''s gazended on the other cksmith, his expression filled with anticipation.


    The other forger immediately stepped forward. He held a light green backpack in his hand, and the surface of the backpack emanated a faint glow. It was also a Rare-grade equipment.


    Jia Wei''s eyes lit up, and he anxiously asked, "What effects does this equipment have?"


    Han Cheng, the Forgemaster standing next to him, noticed that the young man from the academy was still keeping Jia Wei in suspense. "Jing Yuan, don''t waste his time. Hurry up and exin," he urged immediately.


    The other Forgemaster was called Jing Yuan, and he was also one of the geniuses of the Divine Arms Academy. However, his mastery was different from Han Cheng''s, and it was impossible topare who was stronger. Jing Yuan stopped showing off when he noticed it.


    "The equipment I forged is called the Light Feather Backpack. The back of it is embedded with the feathers of the Green Crane''s wings," he said in an indifferent tone.


    "It can lighten the user''s load and increase the speed of his movement by a medium amount. Moreover, I''ve also added a Space-folding Magic Array into the backpack, so my Light Feather Backpack can hold more materials than you can see on the surface!"


    Jing Yuan had a confident expression on his face. He took the backpack and walked directly to the horse carriage at the side. Then, he opened the backpack and filled it with the cloth materials on the horse carriage.


    He ended up loading half of the materials on the horse carriage into it.


    After seeing the effects of the Light Feather Backpack, the two gray-haired elders who had vouched for him immediately showed a surprised expression.


    In the field of casting, spatial arrays were the most difficult to cast. They required extremely strong knowledge of casting, and even many Five-star Forgemasters were not able to fully grasp it.


    Yet, the Forgemaster in front of them, who was not even 20 years old, was able to achieve such a feat!


    He had almost tripled the space inside the backpack!


    Han Cheng, who was standing at the side, had an ugly expression on his face. He had thought that he could easily win with his Wind Spirit Belt, but when he saw Jing Yuan''s backpack, he immediately realized that he was going to lose this time.


    Not only did Jing Yuan''s backpack have all the functions of the belt, it also had a Space-folding Magic Array. He waspletely crushed!


    If not for the fact that he could not forfeit before the transaction ended, he would have found a hole to hide in right now.


    They were both Four-star cksmiths, but the difference between the two was clear even toymen.


    Worse still was the effect of Jing Yuan''s demonstration, which had been too shocking. It had attracted many customers, who were visiting Treasure Pavilion to buy things.


    By then, there were already more than a dozen people standing around, causing Han Cheng''s face to burn painfully.


    "D*mn it, that backpack doesn''t look too big, but it can actually hold so many things!"


    "Amazing! Forging is indeed a profession that turns the rotten into the magical!"


    "I wonder how much it will cost for such a good backpack. Mr. Jia is really generous!"


    At that moment, many customers were drawn to Treasure Pavilion''s courtyard, especially when they saw so many items being stuffed into the backpack. Everyone was shocked!


    Jia Wei, who had traveled extensively and gained a lot of experience, was extremely excited too.


    As a businessman, he knew better than anyone else how much convenience the Light Feather Backpack could bring him. Jia Wei originally thought that the Wind Spirit Belt was pretty good, but he was a little dissatisfied. He only found the effect to be normal. There was nothing amazing about the belt, and paying £¤350,000 for it was not worth it.


    When he saw the Light Feather Backpack, though, the depression in his heart was immediately swept away!


    If he could actually buy the Light Feather Backpack for £¤350,000, it would be a great deal!<sub> </sub>


    Jing Yuan swept his gaze across the crowd. When he saw the shocked expressions on the faces of everyone around him, the corner of his mouth instantly formed a proud smile.


    Among the Four-star cksmiths, he believed that his skills had already reached the peak. The fact that he could easily defeat Han Cheng with his product was the strongest evidence.


    "I believe that everyone can clearly see the effects of the Light Feather Backpack. However, regarding its quality, I would like to request the two older cksmiths to appraise it."


    Jing Yuan''s lips curled up, and he threw the Light Feather Backpack to the two elders standing at the side.


    When they saw that, one of the appraisers immediately took two steps forward and caught it. Then, he began to carefully inspect it.


    A momentter, the two appraisers, who were over 60 years old, revealed astonished expressions!


    They had used their spirit energy to examine the product and found that the energy within the Light Feather Backpack was extremely stable. Moreover, the Space-folding array was not disturbed in the slightest.


    If they had not seen it with their own eyes, the appraisers would not have believed that such a skilled piece of work had actually been produced by such a young cksmith!


    "The energy within the Light Feather Backpack is bnced and the array is stable. It is indeed a Rare-grade equipment. Mr. Jia, please try it yourself."


    The appraiser handed the backpack to Jia Wei. Thetter epted it excitedly and immediately carried it on his back.


    At the next moment, he felt his entire body be lighter, and his spirit was lifted!


    The effects of the Light Feather Backpack were far beyond his imagination. It could even reduce his body weight by 80%!


    Even though there was arge amount of supplies in the backpack, Jia Wei could not feel the weight. It was as if he was carrying a baby!


    "Good... As expected of a genius from the Divine Arms Academy. I''m very satisfied with the effects of this equipment!"


    Jia Wei was so excited that even his beard was shaking. He was highly satisfied and felt that it was very worthwhile to buy this equipment for £¤350,000.


    Standing opposite him, Jing Yuan could not help but look down on the investor when he saw how excited he was. The man had only used 80% of the item''s capabilities, yet it had made this group of people look at him in a new light.


    Thinking of that, he immediately took a step forward and proudly said, "Since that is your opinion, please make your choice, Mr. Jia."


    "This Light Feather Backpack of mine is the best solution. No other Rare-grade equipment can achieve such an effect!"


    "So, Mr. Jia, you don''t have topare it with other ns. You can hand the forging fee over to me now!"


    Jing Yuan''s words led many of the surrounding spectators to exim in admiration.


    "As expected of a genius cksmith from the Divine Arms Academy. He''s truly ambitious."


    "It''s normal for skilled people to be arrogant."


    "I''m really envious. It would be great if I had a son who knew how to forge."


    The discussions of the surrounding people continued, causing Han Cheng, who was standing at the side, to turn red from embarrassment.


    He felt that his luck was simply too bad. To think that he would encounter a genius like Jing Yuan, whose strength had entered the realm of top ten in the academy. If it had been another Four-star cksmith, he would not have lost!


    Seeing this, the staff of Treasure Pavilion quickly walked over to Jia Wei to inquire about the investor''s intentions.

 Chapter 12 Better Plan

    "Mr. Jia, the Light Feather Backpack has passed the appraisal. What do you think about it?"


    Jia Wei pondered for a moment before he raised his head and said, "I heard that there''s another Forgemaster who has epted this design order, right?"


    The receptionist immediately opened the information book in her hand and exined, "Yes, Mr. Jia. Yesterday, a Four-star cksmith epted your design order. His name is Wu Mo, and he''s also a student of the Divine Arms Academy."


    As soon as the receptionist said that, many customers who were about to leave immediately turned around and walked back in. They usually did not see Rare-grade equipment more than once a month. Once there was an opportunity, they naturally did not want to miss it.


    "There are more cksmiths. It seems that the reward for this mission is huge. It actually attracted several Four-star cksmiths to fight over it!"


    "Nonsense. The cost of such a challenging custom-made order is at least £¤100,000. The cost for those that require additional effects will only be higher."


    "However, I think that a backpack that can hold half a carriage''s worth of goods is already impressive enough. Even if another cksmithes, it will be very difficult to top that!"


    The surrounding spectators were all energized. Although they were not incredibly familiar with the field of forging, most of them were eager to be cksmiths. They would often discuss it for hours without getting tired.


    As for Jing Yuan and Han Cheng, when they heard that another cksmith had epted the mission, they appeared slightly shocked.


    One should know that when more cksmiths epted the same custom order, the probability of sess would be lower. They could not think of anyone in the Divine Arms Academy who, after learning that two cksmiths had epted the mission, would actually dare to ept it too. That was how confident they were in their own abilities!


    But when they heard the name "Wu Mo," the shocked expression on their faces became strange.


    If it were another cksmith, they might not be familiar with him. But Wu Mo''s reputation in the academy was not inferior to the top ten prodigies.


    Most of the students in the academy had more or less heard of Wu Mo''s name.


    The other party had be a Four-star cksmith just two years after entering the academy. Back then, he was even more dazzling than many descendants of aristocratic families.


    However, if that had merely been the case, Wu Mo''s reputation would definitely not have reached the stage where everyone knew about him. Wu Mo became well-known because he had only obtained an excellent score of seven points in hisbat test!


    <o>,m He had be infamous in a single battle, turning into aughingstock in everyone''s eyes. Many students had ced him at the center of their discussions.</o>


    As for his shy operation of borrowing money to go home and forge a Divine weapon, that was something they would also discusster.


    However, it made Wu Mopletely notorious in the Divine Arms Academy. Other sses knew of Wu Mo''s name too.


    Unfortunately, his reputation was a negative one.


    Jing Yuan did not think that the final cksmith would actually be Wu Mo. He did not want to waste his time on such a person, so he directly said, "If the final cksmith on the list is Wu Mo, I don''t think everyone needs to wait any longer."


    "Wu Mo''s ''Four-star cksmith'' title is simply a name without substance. With his current strength that isn''t even at one star, I''m afraid that he can''t forge Rare-grade equipment!"


    Jing Yuan''s words shocked many people around him.


    Han Cheng, who had been feeling a little ashamed, stepped forward and added, "That''s not all. The guy called ''Wu Mo'' hasn''t attended ss for several months. I''m afraid he won''t be able to graduate."


    "I think that guy is taking advantage of you because you don''t know his character. He came to Treasure Pavilion just to get materials. I''m afraid you don''t know that he''s several million yuan in debt. A person like that isn''t reliable. I don''t think that guy wille this time."


    Han Cheng spared no effort to say all those things. The embarrassment on his face was reced by a mocking smile.


    Although his skills were slightly weaker than Jing Yuan''s,pared to that guy named ''Wu Mo,'' he was much better.<sub> </sub>


    Since he could not get the design order this time, he might as well do Jing Yuan a favor and allow him toplete the transaction faster.


    After he spoke, the surrounding onlookers became extremely disappointed.


    They had nned to see another Rare-grade equipment, but when they heard that the cksmith was such a scumbag, they left without looking back.


    Only seven or eight people gathered together,menting that people''s hearts were not what they used to be. There were liars even among the cksmiths.


    Jing Yuan nced at Han Cheng in courtyard, feeling quite satisfied.


    "Mr. Jia, this matter is not up to me alone. Wu Mo''s reputation has been tarnished for a long time. It''ll just be a waste of time if you wait."


    The receptionist at the side was suddenly in a difficult position. She was about to ask Jia Wei for his opinion again when Jia Wei opened his mouth.


    "Hehe... As businessmen, we value credibility the most. Although you''ve raised a very reasonable argument, because the other party has already epted the assignment, we still have to fulfill the contract. Since time isn''t up yet, let''s wait a little longer.


    "I don''t need to be suspicious. I still understand the principle of utilizing people without suspicion," Jia Wei stroked his beard and said with a smile.


    He was indeed satisfied to be able to obtain the Light Feather Backpack, but as a businessman, he definitely could not break the contract so easily. Hence, he still insisted on waiting for thest cksmith.


    Hearing the other party''s words, Jing Yuan''s face immediately stiffened.


    ''Old fool, the rules are dead, but people are alive. You clearly know that he won''t be here, yet you insist on wasting your time. You''re too stubborn!''


    Jing Yuan grumbled in his heart, but on the surface, he did not make a move.


    After all, ording to the rules, the transaction had note to an end. The money was in the other party''s hands, so it was not good for him to shed all pretense of cordiality. He could only stand there and wait.


    Han Cheng pursed his lips. He was also a little unhappy with the old man''s words, but with his reputation in mind, he had no choice but to calm down and wait as well.


    The receptionist looked at the main entrance from time to time, but after a few minutes, thest cksmith was still nowhere in sight. The deadline for the delivery of the design order was almost up.


    The few people who were watching the show outside could not stand it any longer, and they were ready to leave.


    "Sigh, let''s go. I think it''s just as the two master cksmiths said. That person called ''Wu Mo'' won''t being at all."


    "I have no respect for such a person. Isn''t he wasting everyone''s time? He''s truly a piece of trash among the cksmiths."


    "Don''t leave. I still want to see how much that backpack''s going to be sold for. If it''s affordable, I want to ce an order and give it a try too."


    "D*mn! A design order like that would cost at least £¤100,000. You can try it if you want. May I ask who you are?!"


    The people around began to talk amongst themselves, and the two cksmiths became increasingly impatient.


    "There are still two minutes left. Let''s see if I''m right. That guy won''te."


    Han Cheng put the Wind Spirit Belt into his backpack and sneered.


    Jing Yuan narrowed his eyes and yawned. Then, he spoke in an indifferent tone. "Looks like we can end this transaction and make ns now, right?"

 Chapter 13 The Late Wu Mo

    Seeing this, Jia Wei sighed and immediately took out a few colorful banknotes.


    "Hold on, they aren''t the only ones who epted the design order!"


    Just as Jia Wei was about to pay, someone suddenly opened the courtyard''s main gate. A young man wearing a gray zipper walked in covered in dust!


    <o>,m He was the one who had spoken.</o>


    A few of Treasure Pavilion''s customers were standing in the periphery to watch the show, and they were the first to see him. They looked at the travel-worn and in-dressed young man with astonishment. They felt that he did not look like a cksmith but more like aborer at the dock.


    Upon hearing the voice, Jing Yuan and Han Cheng immediately turned their heads. When they realized that it was really Wu Mo, their expressions changed slightly.


    Based on their understanding of Wu Mo, he was not as strong as before. It was impossible for him to forge an equipment that met the requirements, so Wu Mo should not have had the audacity toe.


    However, Wu Mo was already in front of them, and he seemed very confident. That made Jing Yuan feel a little dazed.


    It was as if the person before him was not the useless Wu Mo, but the genius who had shone with confidence back then!


    "How is this possible?!"


    Han Cheng looked at the inly-dressed Wu Mo in surprise. He could not help but clench his fists.


    Five minutes ago, he had confidently told everyone that it was impossible for Wu Mo toe, but not long `after, thetter actually arrived. It was a p to his face!


    Both of them had some animosity toward Wu Mo at that moment, but the receptionist, who was standing nearby, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.


    She was the receptionist who had assisted Wu Mo the other day, Yu Qing.


    She had been nervous due to Jing Yuan''s words earlier. As a Four-star cksmith, he would definitely not nder others so easily.


    Therefore, it was likely that Wu Mo''s situation was as Jing Yuan had described.


    However, Treasure Pavilion had clear rules. If a cksmith epted an order from a receptionist and disappeared after receiving the materials, the receptionist would have to bear a lot of responsibility and might even be fired.


    Therefore, Yu Qing was worried that Wu Mo would disappear and she would end up being cheated.


    After all, she was in charge of Mr. Jia''s order. So, Yu Qing''s heart almost turned cold when she heard what the two Four-star cksmiths, Jing Yuan and Han Cheng, said.


    Fortunately, Wu Mo was there now, and the worst-case scenario did not happen!


    "I''m sorry, but I arrived a littlete because of something urgent," Wu Mo said a little embarrassedly after he walked up to several of them.


    Jia Wei scrutinized Wu Mo from head to toe, and his heart could not help but thump. The young man had been so anxious that he did not even wear his exclusive cksmith clothing. It was likely that the equipment he had forged would also be crude.


    Hence, he did not have high hopes for Wu Mo at all. He only wanted to quickly finish the process so that he could leave.


    However, the receptionist, Yu Qing, felt that Wu Mo had some skill. Only she knew that thetter had a short 24 hours to work after epting the mission.


    Unless a cksmith had fairly good skills, it would be very difficult to forge something.


    As a high-level receptionist in Treasure Pavilion, she had seen cksmiths bring a big lump of iron toplete their transactions several times. Most of them had not been able to make it in the given time, so it was tough for them to finish the processing.


    "I didn''t expect you to actuallye. What a surprise."


    Jing Yuan turned his head to look at Wu Mo. He subconsciously took a step back, afraid that Wu Mo would dirty his cksmith clothes.


    Han Cheng was still brooding while standing nearby. "You didn''t even bring a bag. You didn''te empty-handed, did you?" he asked sarcastically.


    "Hurry up and bring it out so that everyone can see what kind of equipment you''ve made."


    As soon as Han Cheng spoke, the onlookers immediately turned their attention to Wu Mo. .<sub> </sub>


    Even the two appraisers beside them looked at Wu Mo.


    "No problem."


    Wu Mo did not waste any time. He reached into his coat pocket and took out the equipment that he had put his blood and sweat into, the silvery-gray Interspatial Ring.


    Unfortunately, because he had been in a hurry, he did not have time to polish it. As such, it looked a little ugly...


    "Huh? What is that thing?!"


    The onlookers were dumbfounded. Some of them could not even see what was in Wu Mo''s palm.


    "D*mn, that thing''s too small. Does it really work?"


    Not only were the onlookers dumbfounded, but even Jing Yuan, who had been well-prepared, did not expect Wu Mo to take out a dusty ring. Moreover, it did not have any luster at all. It was probably not evenparable to an ordinary ring.


    He could not help but snicker.


    Han Cheng started tough, no longer bothering to conceal his true feelings.


    "Haha, I was wondering what kind of Divine weapon it was. Turns out, it''s just a silver ring? That''s it... No way. Is someone really using an ordinary ornament to fool an investor?!"


    As soon as Han Cheng said that, the few businessmen who were concerned about their iamge burst intoughter.


    Even the children who had gone to school could tell that such a thing could notpare to the Wind Spirit Belt and Light Feather Backpack.


    It was a crushing defeat!


    "It appears that I''ve been too optimistic..."


    Yu Qing could not help but sigh when she saw Wu Mo present a gray ring. She had thought that her eye was good enough for her to not be fooled by such people!


    Another receptionist would have seen through him and would not have ended up in this situation.


    Everyoneughed continuously. After all, the act of taking out a silver ring for a design order was toomon


    To them, the cksmith named Wu Mo was also a talent, at least in terms of humor.


    Wu Mo stood straight on the spot. The ear-piercingughter around him only made him bored.


    Seeing that the surrounding people could not see how effective his ring was, he immediately put it on and got ready to demonstrate its effects with his actions.


    "Sigh... It looks like there was no need to wait for more than ten minutes."


    After heid eyes on the silver ring, Jia Wei could not help but sigh in his heart.


    The cksmith had made such an item and had not taken his needs seriously at all. Since the cksmith did not respect him, there was no need for him to waste any more time.


    Thinking of that, he immediately said, "I''ve already decided. I''ll be taking the Light Feather Backpack for this order..."


    Jia Wei had already decided in his heart, so he promptly announced the result of his choice.


    However, before he could finish speaking, he saw Wu Mo gently wave his hand at the carriage in front of him.


    While he felt a little puzzled, he heard a whoosh the next moment, and the goods on the two carriages instantly disappeared on the spot!


    Even the wooden bearings on the wagons were gone!

 Chapter 14 Everyone Is Shocked, Powerful Interspatial Ring!

    Two white horses were left standing on the spot, eating leaves with a satisfied look on their faces.


    After he saw what happened, the person in charge of wide profits trading, Jia Wei, was instantly stunned.


    The surroundingughter abruptly stopped as well. The necks of those who were watching the show seemed to be stuck, and their eyes were wide open.


    It was quiet... The ce was dead silent.


    Even the two appraisers with gray hair, who had appraised the epic equipment, were rooted to the spot. They were unable to speak for a long time.


    At that moment, everyone was taken aback. They did not know what had happened.


    They only saw Wu Mo, who was described as trash, put on his silver ring and wave at the carriage. Then, the two carriages carrying half a ton of goods disappearedpletely.


    It was as if they had never been there before.


    If not for the remaining two white horses, the people would have thought that they were hallucinating!


    "Did... Did the two carriages disappear?" a businessman, who sold cloth and satin, asked with difficulty among the crowd. A full seven to eight seconds had passed by then.


    Only then did everyone react. Many people were shocked, and they gasped, breathing in cold air. They could not calm down for a long time.


    The appraiser with sparse eyebrows swallowed hard. After he calmed his mind, he hesitantly said, "May I ask, Mr. cksmith, does this ring of yours use a Space-folding Magic Array?"


    Everyone immediately switched their gazes to Wu Mo following the question. Right then, they were eager to understand what just transpired. What kind of abilities did that seemingly unremarkable ring have?


    Wu Mo was slightly startled. He did not think that there would be someone who knew about space creation magic there. Nevertheless, he immediately nodded and said, "That''s right!"


    Once he received Wu Mo''s feedback, the appraiser appeared even more excited. He had devoted most of his life to the appraisal industry, but up until now, he had only seen a total of three equipment with space creation magic.


    The prices of such pieces of equipment were all shocking, and their grades were all on the Epic level.


    After living for over 60 years, this was his first time seeing a ring that actually possessed the ability to create spatial formations!


    Compared with the first three pieces of equipment he had seen in half his life, the ring''s portability alone was enough to instantly obliterate all of them. The smaller the size of the equipment, the more difficult it would be to create spatial formations. Unless the person was a Seven-star cksmith or above, he would not dare to take such a risk.


    However, Wu Mo was only a Four-star cksmith, yet he had such an ability. How could the appraiser not be excited?!


    Yu Qing, who was standing at the side, had also recovered from her shock. She could not help but exim, "How is this a light tool? It''s simply magic!"


    Even an outsider like her, who had no experience in casting, understood what a ring that could hold two carriages meant.


    It was sufficient to prove that Wu Mo''s forging skills were definitely above Han Cheng or even Jing Yuan''s. Furthermore, it was on a monstrous level!


    With that said, Jia Wei was the most excited among the group of people.


    He had originally thought that the Light Feather Backpack was enough to surprise him, but the ring that Wu Mo brought shattered they way he viewed the world.


    It almost made his heart boil!


    The Wind Spirit Belt could only increase speed, while the Light Feather Backpack only had expanded capacity. However, before the ring that Wu Mo had forged, they were not even qualified to carry shoes!


    Jia Wei could predict that with the magical ring, the scale of his business would definitely double in the future.


    A ring that could open up space was equivalent to saving travel expenses and time. Moreover, when the time came, he did not even need to hire security personnel. He could just find a convoy to head to the next city. On top of that, he would save on the cost of storing the goods. It was a godly item to him, in and simple.


    Why would he need a carriage anymore with this item in his possession?!<sub> </sub>


    As he imagined it, Jia Wei felt his heart beating faster and faster. He took three steps and then another two before he was in front of Wu Mo. Then, he grabbed the young man''s hand and questioned him excitedly.


    "Sir, what is this equipment that you''ve forged?"


    Wu Mo took off the ring and nonchntly said, "Currently, it''s not avable on the market, but I''ve named it the ''Interspatial Ring!''"


    "Interspatial Ring!"


    Jia Wei found the name very appropriate, so he continued asking with urgency.


    "So, this Interspatial Ring can be used to load and unload goods at will?"


    Wu Mo smiled and shook his head. He snapped his fingers lightly, and at the next second, white light shed around them. Then, the two carriages reappeared under the shade of the trees without the slightest damage.


    "With the exception of living things or an embed of other spatial equipment, everything else can be stored inside."


    "In addition, the space within goes up to 50 cubic meters. I can also guarantee that the things stored inside will not decay for ten years!"


    Wu Mo exined the effects of the Interspatial Ring in detail.


    Immediately, the expression of the people around him changed to one of shock!


    Even Jing Yuan, who had forced himself to remain calm earlier, widened his eyes at that moment.


    He found it hard to imagine how a Four-star cksmith could forge such an advanced equipment.


    Forget a student like him, even teachers and professors could not do it!


    One should know that the storage space of 50 cubic meters was already ridiculous, and the ten-year shelf life within was a direct deviation from the basic principles of forging!


    It was an impossible item to forge!


    As it dawned on him, Jing Yuan''s face turned pale. He did not want to believe that he would actually lose to a piece of trash, a person who only had scored seven points in the strength test!


    Next to him, Han Cheng was also dispirited as if he was on the verge of copse.


    Wu Mo''s ring had dealt a huge blow to them.


    They were sure that the two of them would never be able to forge such outstanding equipment in their entire lives. Their silence was greater than the death of their hearts!


    In contrast to the miserable duo, the investor, Jia Wei, was grinning from ear to ear.


    "Mr. cksmith, the Interspatial Ring you forged has greatmercial value. When I, Jia Wei, rise above like a phoenix, I will definitely treat you as a distinguished guest in my family. I will not forget you for a hundred years!"


    Jia Wei grew increasingly excited as he spoke. Being someone in the business industry, he could already foresee that this Interspatial Ring would be the origin of his fortune. He took out his pen without hesitation and was prepared to sign.


    But right then, a piercing voice interrupted his n.


    "Wait!"


    Jia Wei''s hand trembled slightly. He subconsciously looked up and saw the people who had been watching the show rush over.


    As a businessman, he immediately noticed the clues, and his face became distorted.


    A middle-aged man in red shorts quickly ran over with an excited expression. Then, he said to Wu Mo, "Mr. cksmith, wait a moment. Can you sell me this item? I''m willing to pay you £¤100,000 more than the original order!"

 Chapter 15 Cooperation

    Wu Mo was a little surprised. He did not expect his casual demonstration to attract the attention of others.


    When the middle-aged man in red noticed that Wu Mo was unmoved, he thought that the cksmith was not satisfied with his offer. He raised the price again and said, "If you''re not satisfied, I can add another £¤50,000 on top of that. Everything''s negotiable."


    Seeing the situation, the other customers immediately reacted. They had already expected the Interspatial Ring to be incredibly effective. If they could buy it, they would definitely earn a huge amount of money in the future!


    The people who had been watching the show immediately moved forward. All of them started to bid enthusiastically, wanting to keep the Interspatial Ring for themselves.


    "I''ll raise it by £¤200,000!"


    "Mr. cksmith, sell it to me. I''ll ce a bid of £¤800,000!"


    "All of you, get out of my way. I''m the owner of the Brocade Silk Shop. I''ll bid £¤900,000!"


    Severalrge merchants were fighting over the ring. Seeing that the ring he yearned for was about to be snatched away, Jia Wei disregarded his manners and shouted at the receptionist beside him, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and maintain order!"


    Yu Qing immediately reacted and took out her phone to call Treasure Pavilion''s store manager.


    After a short while, the store manager rushed out with three strong security guards and pulled away the merchants who were bidding.


    "Mr. cksmith, please give it some consideration. It''s easy to negotiate the price!"


    Even though the merchants were pulled away, they still spoke eagerly, unwilling to give up.


    Jia Wei, on the other hand, looked at Wu Mo. He was afraid that Wu Mo would sell the ring to someone else.


    "Hello, Mr. Wu. I am the store manager of Treasure Pavilion. My name is Gao Yue. I look forward to serving you."


    A young man dressed in silk soon appeared before Wu Mo. He had long hair and spoke with a humble expression.


    Wu Mo nodded. The two of them greeted each other.


    "Respected cksmith, ording to the rules of Treasure Pavilion, the highest bidder will obtain the goods. You don''t need to feel pressured. As long as you request it, I will definitely take care of relevant matters for you."


    Gao Yue maintained a sincere smile on his face as he spoke to Wu Mo.


    He was trying to say that Wu Mo could buy and sell whatever he wanted without any responsibility. He would take care of the order.


    In his eyes, while Guangli Trading Company''s owner, Jia Wei, was one of Treasure Pavilion''s rare customers,pared with a Four-star cksmith, he was slightly weaker and able to operate.


    Yu Qing looked at the store manager in surprise as she stood next to him. The store manager held the highest position in Treasure Pavilion, and she did not expect him to treat Wu Mo with such respect. It made her extremely nervous.


    The surrounding people all focused their gazes on Wu Mo. The two cksmiths beside him were like air at that moment. They did not have the slightest sense of presence.


    Wu Mo yed with the ring in his hand and softly replied, "Thank you for taking care of me, Store Manager. Ultimately, I feel that cooperation should still be based on honesty. Since I have already epted Mr. Jia''s order, I can''t go back on my word at thest minute. Please pass this ring to Mr. Jia for me."


    As Wu Mo spoke, he immediately passed the ring to the store manager, Gao Yue.


    Thetter held the ring carefully and handed it to the two appraisers who were standing nearby, looking at it anxiously.


    The moment they touched the Interspatial Ring, the eyes of the two cksmiths lit up. It was the first time in their decades of work that they were so eager to appraise a piece of equipment.


    After sensing the energy from the silver ring, the two appraisers felt a tingling sensation at the back of their heads. The energy within the ring was as stable as calm river water without the slightest ripple.<sub> </sub>


    There was no problem whatsoever with the interspatial array that had been cast within. It was practically a workpleted by a Seven-star cksmith! The ring was wless.


    "This is my first time seeing such a unique piece of equipment in my 40 years of work. It''s truly an eye-opener. After appraising it, I discovered that this Interspatial Ring''s energy is stable and its effects are outstanding. In fact, it doesn''t even look like a Rare-grade item."


    The appraiser still seemed to worked up, and he could not stop praising the Interspatial Ring.


    Once the appraisal results were out, the store manager took the Interspatial Ring and finally handed it over to Jia Wei.


    Thetter was extremely excited. He held the ring as if he had found a priceless treasure, and his emotions were all over the ce.


    He sighed endlessly in his heart. Themission this time was simply beyond his expectations. Moreover, he was amazed by the cksmith who had forged the ring.


    Not only was the cksmith very capable, but he was also a highly trustworthy person.


    At first, Jia Wei thought that the ring would disappear without a trace, but unexpectedly, Wu Mo still gave him the ring in the end.


    Such great ups and downs had made him a little absent-minded. For a moment, he did not know what to do.


    "Mr. Jia, are you satisfied with this ring? If it''s possible, please sign the order form."


    Yu Qing took the order form and walked to Jia Wei''s side, reminding him.


    "Oh... it''s good, it''s good. I am very satisfied."


    "However, I cannot let Mr. Wu Mo suffer a loss. Since those spectators have offered a price of £¤900,000, I will adjust the amount on the order form to £¤1,000,000!" he quickly said with a serious expression.


    Jia Wei was an upright merchant, so he was not willing to take advantage of him.


    Yu Qing revealed a pleasantly surprised look on her face. She immediately edited the order and adjusted the price to £¤1,000,000. Jia Wei also signed his name without hesitation.


    Seeing this, Wu Mo raised his brows slightly. He felt that Jia Wei''s character was not bad. He immediately walked forward and spoke to him with a smile.


    "Thank you for your appreciation, Mr. Jia. Your business mind is a pleasant surprise."


    Jia Wei carefully put the ring on his finger and cupped his hands over Wu Mo''s as he said, "No, no, Sir, you managed to forge such a spirit-filled equipment. You are truly smart!"


    After he said that, Jia Wei immediately took out a bank check and handed it to Wu Mo. .


    He was so respectful toward Wu Mo because the ring was of great use to him. The cksmith wasparable to a noble who had changed his life!


    Conversely, Wu Mo was not good atplimenting others. He changed the subject and stated his purpose directly.


    "I came to see you, Mr. Jia. In fact, I want to work with you on something rted to the Interspatial Ring."


    Wu Mo''s voice was as calm as a clear spring in the mountains. Meanwhile, Jia Wei''s entire body trembled when he heard him. It did not take long for him to seriously say, "Sir, please feel free to speak."


    The store manager standing at the side frowned slightly as if something had urred to him.


    Wu Mo nodded and promptly said, "I think we can work together at least once. I''ll provide you with the blueprint for the Interspatial Ring. Mr. Jia, you can use your own resources to mass produce and promote the ring. In the future, for every Interspatial Ring sold, I''ll take 70% of the profit. What do you think?"


    As soon as Wu Mo said that, the expression of Treasure Pavilion''s store manager changed. However, the one with the most intense reaction was Jia Wei.

 Chapter 16 Becoming A Special Consultant

    After he heard that, he immediately frowned and fell into deep thought. He had traveled far and wide and seen many things as a businessman. He possessed his own unique vision and adept thinking.


    Therefore, when he heard Wu Mo''s words clearly, the emotions that had gradually calmed down in his heart were immediately stirred again.


    With the Interspatial Ring''s effects, if he were to find an organization to mass produce it in the future and conduct an auction, he would surely be able to sell the ring at a high price of more than £¤2,000,000!


    <o>,m As for Wu Mo, it was reasonable for a cksmith to take 70% of the profits. Excluding the materials andbor prices, he could earn at least £¤300,000 for each of them.</o>


    He just needed to sell 10 of them to earn a profit of £¤3,000,000, which was equivalent to a month''s ie for his profit-making business!


    It was a business that was guaranteed to make a profit. After some consideration, Jia Wei agreed.


    "Mr. Wu, I agree with your idea to coborate. I promise you that you will receive the first sales fee within three months. You can count on me for everything."


    Wu Mo immediately smiled and extended his hand, the two of them reaching an agreement.


    The manager of Treasure Pavilion, Gao Yue, looked at Jia Wei with envy. In his opinion, Jia Wei would undeniably earn millions of dors in a year if he worked with this cksmith. His reputation and connections would definitely growter on.


    It was a pity because if it had been left to Treasure Pavilion, they would be able to do better.


    He could only sigh silently as he watched the cksmith and Jia Wei sign the agreement.


    Soon, Jia Wei left with the documents in his carriage as Wu Mo waved goodbye to him.


    By then, aside from Wu Mo, only the store manager and the receptionist, Yu Qing, were left in the courtyard.


    Han Cheng and Jing Yuan had disappeared long ago.


    The security guards had also escorted the merchants who had been watching the show away. The courtyard was suddenly much emptier.


    "Uh, Mr. Wu, you signed a contract with Jia Wei. I suppose the blueprints used for the casting haven''t been patented yet, right? I think you should register your intellectual property just to be safe."


    Gao Yue kept quiet for a few seconds before he spoke in a timely manner.


    Wu Mo nodded. The Interspatial Ring that he had cast was unique. If he could register it as a patent, others would not be able to cast the same equipment in the future without his approval. That way, Jia Wei''s mass production n would be unimpeded.


    "In that case, can Iplete the trademark registration for my blueprints in Treasure Pavilion?"


    "Don''t worry. We will definitely help you take care of the matter. As long as you sign the relevant papers, everything will be ready!" Gao Yue lowered his head and said humbly.


    Yu Qing, who was standing next to them, covered her mouth with her hands. Her face was filled with astonishment.


    This cksmith had earned £¤1,000,000 in one day, and his status had risen to a level that she could do nothing but look up to. It was simply inconceivable.


    When she first received Wu Mo, Yu Qing had already sensed that he was not an ordinary person, and his status would eventually rise.


    But the strength that he disyed so far exceeded her imagination. Even Treasure Pavilion''s manager had to treat him with respect.


    Seeing Wu Mo follow the manager for his trademark registration, Yu Qing gradually calmed down.


    The cksmith named Wu Mo had already disyed such formidable strength on his first day of working with Treasure Pavilion. She believed that he would probably be even stronger in the future!


    He was so formidable that most people had to admire him!


    ...


    On the other side, Gao Yue brought Wu Mo out of the courtyard and walked toward the trademark registration office under Treasure Pavilion.


    "Mr. Wu, was that your first design order from Treasure Pavilion?"


    Looking at the extremely young face beside him, Gao Yue felt a little nervous, but he still tried his best to strike up a conversation.<sub> </sub>


    In his opinion, the cksmith was no doubt a potentially worthwhile investment. Even the appraisers with extremely high standards had sung his praises, so he had to seize the opportunity at this critical moment.


    "I guess so. I haven''t been too busy recently, so I wanted to get some practice."


    Wu Mo inserted the £¤1,000,000 check into his pocket and responded expressionlessly.


    "Um... if there''s another opportunity in the future, I hope that you can work more with Treasure Pavilion again. An outstanding cksmith like you is an extremely rare existence in the whole of Shanglin City!"


    Gao Yue had a gentle smile on his face as he spoke earnestly.


    "Mr. Gao, you must be joking. Treasure Pavilion branch stores are spread throughout the entire continent, and there are over a thousand chains. How could you care about a basic Four-star cksmith like me when your of influence is so wide?"


    A bright light shed across Wu Mo''s face as he replied in jest.


    "I''m not joking!"


    Gao Yue immediately waved his hand, looking a little embarrassed.


    "Our Treasure Pavilion is only one of the branches. In fact, we don''t have any power in Shanglin City..."


    After that short exnation, he fell silent.


    Wu Mo slowly stopped and curiously looked at the store manager before him. The man was only in his early thirties.


    "Actually, I''ve said so much just to invite you... to be Treasure Pavilion''s special consultant. Are you interested?" Gao Yue raised his head and helplessly asked a momentter.


    He had initially wanted to exchange a few more pleasantries with the cksmith, Wu Mo, but unexpectedly, the young man was not "ying along."


    His n was disrupted, and his mind was a little frazzled. He almost did not know what to say next.


    "What are the benefits of being a special consultant?" Wu Mo asked.


    When Gao Yue noticed that the cksmith was actually a little curious, he immediately perked up and spoke non-stop. "If you''re willing to be Treasure Pavilion''s special consultant, you will receive a tinum VIP card that is limited to our chamber ofmerce."


    "The VIP card not only allows you to enter and exit the VIP room at will, but it will also allow you to customize rare materials in advance and purchase precious materials at a very low discount price!"


    Once Gao Yue finished speaking, he looked at Wu Mo with a face full of anticipation. He was hoping to get a definite answer from the other party.


    "Hmm... That''s it?"


    Wu Mo rubbed his chin and wore a smile that was hard to read.


    "Also... as a specially-invited consultant, you''ll receive a sry of... £¤300,000 every month!"


    Gao Yue gritted his teeth and quoted the highest price possible.


    Their surroundings gradually quieted down, and Wu Mo frowned slightly as he gave it some thought.


    There was no actual work content for a special consultant, so he did not need to pay anything for it. Since that was the case, it would not affect him if he became a consultant.


    Taking that into consideration, Wu Mo immediately said, "That sounds good. Let''s proceed then."


    Gao Yue''s face immediately revealed a happy smile following Wu Mo''s reply. He subconsciously quickened his pace and quickly processed the trademark registration information in the affiliate store.


    Next, he added Wu Mo as a special consultant on Treasure Pavilion''s bulletin board.


    It was one o''clock in the afternoon by the time everything was done. Wu Mo left Treasure Pavilion as the store manager bade him farewell, and he returned to the academy.

 Chapter 17 Life Improved, Points Earned For Debut!

    "It feels good to be rich!"


    Wu Mo stood at his single dorm''s entrance and looked at the boxes of daily necessities that had been delivered. He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.


    "Mr. cksmith, please sign the delivery slip."


    The suntanned delivery man handed over the delivery slip with both hands and spoke respectfully


    Wu Mo picked up a pen and signed his name on it. Then, he moved the supplies into his dormitory.


    Looking at the daily necessities and food piled up in the corner, he felt much more fulfilled.


    "This way, I won''t have to suffer from the cafeteriady''s oily and salty food anymore."


    Afterining, Wu Mo stored the vegetables in the refrigerator and sat down on the couch.


    Looking at the "£¤990,000" on his phone, he immediately broke into a satisfied smile.


    "Enter the Forging Space!"


    Everything was ready, and Wu Mo noticed that it was still early, so he closed his eyes and concentrated on meditating.


    In the next second, his senses were cut off, and his surroundings turned pitch-ck.


    Looking at the pile of excess materials on the workbench, Wu Mo sighed.


    Although he seemed rich, it was only on the surface.


    It would take him at least another 20 days to repay the debt of more than £¤2,000,000.


    Once he graduated from the Divine Arms Academy, he would be without support, and those money lenders woulde collecting.


    Therefore, the peace he currently had was temporary. Furthermore, he still needed to forge Mjolnir before he graduated. Just finding the materials was more difficult than ascending to the heavens.


    "Sigh, let''s take it one step at a time."


    Wu Mo sighed and turned his gaze to the workbench.


    The reason why he wanted to enter the Forging Space this time was to use the remaining materials to forge a ring for himself.


    It would be much more convenient no matter what he did in the future.


    He did not want to hold everything in his hands every time he bought materials. Not to mention, some metals were too heavy. Unless he was a cultivator, he could not move them at all.


    Throwing aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, Wu Mo picked up a coin and began to copy the Interspatial Ring''s design.


    Thanks to his first experience, he only failed twice before he finished the design this time.


    The whole process took less than half an hour.


    As the process of casting the rough shape was a littleplicated, Wu Mo wanted to rely on the redo function to fully understand all aspects. Hence, he deliberately made mistakes at the end of each fusion until he had mastered every point. Only then did he pull the rough form out of the furnace.


    Picking up the ordinary iron hammer, Wu Mo hammered the red cast with all his might.


    He only chose to rest for a short while after he repeated the process thousands of times.


    The rough surface of the ring was only a dozen centimeters long and three fingers wide. After several thousand times of forging, its surface became extremely smooth, and its silver glow became even purer.


    As for the final strengthening process, Wu Mo carried it out carefully.


    First, he needed to embed the Cosmos Stone on the ring, then stabilize the array formation within, before finally quenching it again. Next, he sprinkled the Moonlight Dust on the red-hot ring to stabilize the energy within.


    He also went through this process more than ten times. His goal was to increase his physical strength!


    Moreover, because he had enough time now, the final Interspatial Ring was even better than the one he had made for Mr. Jia.


    Looking at the ring that emitted a light blue glow, Wu Mo picked it up and examined it meticulously for a moment.


    ''System, appraise this ring!'' Wu Mo thought to himself.<sub> </sub>


    The system instantly replied.


    [Ding... Equipmentplete. Its attributes are as follows.


    [Equipment Type: essory


    [Name: Perfect Interspatial Ring


    [Grade: Rare


    [System Score: 24 points


    [Equipment Effects: (1) Possesses 50 cubic meters of independent space. Items stored will not decay for 20 years. (2) Increases the wearer''s spirit energy by a small margin.]


    Wu Mo revealed a satisfied smile after he saw the system''s appraisal.


    If he remembered correctly, when he first forged the Interspatial Ring, the system had only given him a score of 21 points, and it only had one effect.


    The slight changes were enough to prove that all the time and effort he put in earlier had paid off!


    Wu Mo felt that his current skills should beparable to that of some Five-star cksmiths.


    It was just that he had not gone through a systematic test yet. Thus, he was not too sure how much he had grown over the past few days.


    As Wu Mo gradually rxed, a wave of fatigue washed over his mind.


    That was when he realized he had stayed in the Forging Space for a very long time.


    After he put the Interspatial Ring on his finger, Wu Mo promptly closed his eyes and exited the Forging Space.


    The moment he felt his bodily sense, he opened his eyes and looked at the time on his phone. He realized that only ten minutes had passed in reality.


    Following a slight conversion, he realized that to create the perfect ring, he had stayed in the Forging Space for eleven hours.


    If not for the fact that the Forging Workbench could greatly increase his concentration, Wu Mo did not think that he would have been able tost that long.


    Wu Mo started to feel drowsy, so he got up and walked toward his bedroom.


    Just as he was about to fall asleep, he heard the system''s voice again.


    [The system haspleted its calctions of the host''s influence points. The Interspatial Ring forged by the host has generated quite a bit of influence in Treasure Pavilion. The host has earned a total of 184 points!]


    However, Wu Mo did not hear the system''s report at all. His consciousness faded, and he quickly fell asleep.


    Perhaps he had been too tiredtely because Wu Mo slept from 1.45 pm to 10.00 pm.


    Before he slept, the sun was still shining brightly. When he opened his eyes, it was pitch ck outside his window.


    After fumbling around and turning on the lights, Wu Mo entered the bathroom to wash his face. Then, he cooked himself a delicacy that only existed on Earth out of the fresh vegetables and meat: meat with alfalfa.


    Wu Mo looked at his phone once he was done with his meal. There were still people chatting enthusiastically in the ss group chat.


    [Ding... System notification. The host currently has 184 points. Would you like to exchange them for materials?]


    Just as he was about to browse through thetest news, the system''s voice suddenly echoed in his mind.


    Right then, Wu Mo vaguely remembered that the system had said something before he went to sleep in the afternoon. However, he had been too sleepy at that time and unable to understand it.


    He thought to himself and summoned the system''s interface. Then, he flipped through the recent notifications. True enough, he found that he had received points.


    "I didn''t expect to shock so many people and only receive such few points. This doesn''t make sense."


    Wu Mo wanted to grumble further in his heart, but he still opened the material store page to see how many Blue Star coins a point was worth.


    The material store had a variety of things, from the most basic wood to rare ores and metals. There were also all kinds of animal materials, such as ws, feathers, horns, and so on. For a moment, Wu Mo did not know where to look.

 Chapter 18 Discussion Group, The School Belle Discovers That Wu Mo Has Changed!

    There were all kinds of materials on the first level of the store, and there were also various rarities on the second level. Out of curiosity, Wu Mo opened the Legendary materials column.


    When he saw those materials shine with a pink light, he immediately appeared extremely interesting!


    Refined Bluestone, a material that only existed at the bottom of a cier crack, required 10,000 points.


    Legendary Essences, a necessary item for forging Legendary or even higher-grade equipment, required 15,000 points.


    The core of a spirit vein, a ce where extremely dense spirit energy could be born, required 20,000 points.


    Even within the system, there were only two rows and twelve types of Legendary-grade materials. As for the real world, there would definitely be more materials, but those items would not be circted in society at all. They were objects that could not be measured by the Blue Star currency.


    Nevertheless, Wu Mo was not without gain. At the very least, he had a clear understanding of the ratio between the system points and the Blue Star currency.


    It was about 1: 200.


    A hundred and eighty-four points were only equivalent to thirty-six thousand yuan. It was not a pleasant surprise at all.


    However, only a few dozen people had seen the Interspatial Ring at this point. In the future, there would be many opportunities to show off in front of others.


    Closing the system page, Wu Mo stood up and looked out the window.


    Although his current self had not been able to improve his predecessor''s condition, he believed that after a period of time, he would definitely be able to amaze everyone. Regardless of whether it was his strength or his predecessor''s long-cherished wish of a few years, he would make a breakthrough at the same time!


    ...


    Time flew by quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was already the next morning.


    Wu Mo had only slept for three hoursst night. As for the rest of the time, he had done some physical training in his dormitory besides entering the Forging Space to consolidate his knowledge.


    After he ate breakfast and waited for the rm to ring, he put on his clothes and went to ss.


    He could not always skip sses. Yesterday, he had sneaked away one more time because of the ring.


    However,st night, Professor Zhou Yan made it clear in the group chat that all students needed to be present the next day. He was not brave enough to skip the professor''s ss.


    A few minutester, he arrived at the ssroom.


    There were still seven to eight minutes before ss started, but more than half of the students had arrived in the tiered ssroom.


    Wu Mo walked into the ssroom and went straight to his seat. The students around him were already used to it.


    At eight o''clock in the morning, Professor Zhou Yan arrived at the ss on time with her lesson n.


    The chit-chat came to an abrupt end, and everyone sat in their seats with straight faces.


    "Hello, students. Everyone, please quiet down. We are starting our ss."


    Professor Zhou Yan nced at the students, and her gaze froze on Wu Mo. But she immediately returned to her senses and began to exin the lesson for the day.


    Wu Mo lowered his head and looked at the textbook. In reality, his thoughts had drifted away. He nned on going to Treasure Pavilion again today. He wanted to pay off his entire debt in one go.


    He did not notice any gazes from Zhou Yan and the person behind him.


    A girl of his age was sitting behind him.<sub> </sub>


    The girl had long ck hair that fell over her shoulders. Her skin was fair, and she had a standard oval face.


    She also had a pair of clear and beautiful eyes. Meanwhile, her nose was straight, and her lips were slightly curved. She looked very cute.


    The girl who was observing Wu Mo secretly was called Jiang Mengyao. She was known as the Divine Arms Academy''s belle. She was also a Dour-star cksmith.


    "Alright, now it''s time for a group discussion. I hope that you can humbly learn from each other. Before the graduation assessment, you can share your experience in forging. Of course, you can also exchange your graduation designs. Learn each other''s strengths and make up for your weaknesses. Try to disy 120% of your strength when the timees!" Professor Zhou Yan seriously said right after she put down the control pen for the projector.


    In a few minutes, the thirty students in the ss were divided into ten discussion groups, and they had an exchange.


    The young students did not dare to offend Professor Zhou Yan, so all of them were incredibly cooperative.


    Wu Mo was not let off the hook either. The young man in front of him and the young woman behind him were assigned to his group. The girl was Jiang Mengyao, who had shown concern for him previously.


    Unfortunately, Wu Mo did not know about it. Under the professor''s supervision, he was the first to break the silence.


    "Let me introduce myself. My name is Wu Mo. Looking forward to your guidance."


    Wu Mo''s self-introduction was insincere. If it were not for his professor''s supervision, he would not have gone along with such a boring thing.


    Making money and increasing his strength were his main goals.


    However, the girl, who was standing at the side, responded, "My name is Jiang Mengyao... Wu Mo, did you forget my name?"


    Jiang Mengyao felt a little wronged. She had always cared about Wu Mo, but thetter never paid her any attention, which made her extremely frustrated.


    Wu Mo stood there awkwardly. The truth was he knew more than just the girl''s name. It could have been from the memories of his predecessor or the unread messages on his phone.


    Even so, he did not like to maintain such a meaningless rtionship.


    "Haha. Mengyao, don''t you know? This person''s brain ispletely broken. Having a discussion with him is a waste of my saliva. Mengyao, let''s have our own discussion."


    The boy standing next to him saw the situation and quickly spoke with disdain.


    Wu Mo was simply an abandoned and useless piece of trash in his eyes. He did not deserve to talk to Mengyao at all.


    "Wei Jiaming! If you dare to nder Wu Mo again, don''t me me for being impolite! I''ve warned you twice now!"


    When Jiang Mengyao heard what he had said, her petite face instantly turned cold as she spoke without any regard for his face.


    Wei Jiaming felt a wave of pain in his heart when the girl he liked called him out with such a hostile expression. On top of that, she acted as if she was defending another man. The way he looked at Wu Mo became even more sinister.


    However, in front of Jiang Mengyao, he could just shrug his shoulders and apologetically say, "Um... Sorry, I won''t do it again."


    Jiang Mengyao''s expression softened a little. She looked at Wu Mo and asked with concern, "Wu Mo, how have you beentely? Why haven''t I seen you in ss? Have you been unwell?"


    Hearing the girl''s series of questions, Wu Mo subconsciously looked at her. He suddenly felt touched.


    After such a long time on the blue, other than those people who sent him messages every day to ask for payment, the girl in front of him was the first person to show concern for his safety.


    Wu Mo was slightly taken aback. He was surprised about having such an emotion, but out of politeness, he immediately replied, "Sorry, I just stopped chasing unrealistic ideals recently. I''m sorry for making you worry."


    Jiang Mengyao opened her mouth a little. She was astonished to find that the Wu Mo standing in front of her had gone from self-indulgent to the young man who shone with confidence!

 Chapter 19 Discussion Group

    "It''s... It''s okay."


    Mengyao''s expression froze for a moment. She quickly realized that she had lost herposure, so she immediately turned around to speak awkwardly.


    Wei Jiaming could see the change in Mengyao''s expression. He could not help but clench his fists, but in the end, he restrained the urge to hit her.


    "Uh... Mengyao, Professor Zhou asked us to discuss the graduation project separately. Oh right, what equipment are you nning to forge this time?"


    Wei Jiaming decided to change the subject. At the very least, he wanted to separate himself from Wu Mo so that his private time with Jiang Mengyao would not be disturbed.


    "I want to forge a light soft steel armor! The armor''s lightness will be maintained while it provides a decent defense at the same time. Although it''s only a Rare-grade equipment, it''s not easy to forge at all..."


    Jiang Mengyao enjoyed chatting about forging, so when she was asked, she immediately opened her mouth and talked endlessly.


    "Oh right, Wu Mo, I noticed that you handed in a design blueprint too. What type of equipment are you nning to make?"


    "Ah... me?" Wu Mo was not prepared since Mengyao''s question came out of the blue. "I''m nning to forge a hammer. I''m nning to use my own hammer to forge equipment in the future!"


    Wei Jiaming, who was standing at the side, had a look of disdain on his face. "Oh, it seems that your new goal is quite realistic. However, you''re just forging ordinary iron weapons. It''s impossible for you to pass the graduation assessment!" he said in a strange tone.


    Wu Mo heard the voice and turned his head to look at the man who had been buzzing in his ear. He appeared to be a little annoyed.


    "How lonely are you in your life? Do you have to find a purpose to live at my expense?" he said without hesitation.


    Hearing this, the mocking smile on Wei Jiaming''s face became stiff, and he was rooted to the spot.


    He found it hard to imagine how Wu Mo, who had always been quiet and abnormally self-indulgent, dared to say such words!


    Wu Mo actually had the audacity to ignore the aristocratic family behind him and belittle his dignity in front of everyone without any scruples!


    Wei Jiaming only felt a burning sensation on his face, and his pupils trembled slightly. He could not be more furious.


    In the past three years, no one in the ss had ever dared to speak to him like that. If he did not teach Wu Mo a lesson, the others would probably think that he, Wei Jiaming, was made of mud and could be bullied at will!


    Just as he was about to explode, Professor Zhou suddenly walked down from the podium.


    "Students, the first round of discussion has ended. However, please make a list of all the materials you need to forge your equipment. You can purchase all of them together, or you can ask a professor to help you purchase them. If there are more purchases, you should be able to get a 10% discount. "ss..."


    Seeing that Zhou Yan was about to reach them, Wei Jiaming could only suppress the anger in his heart and return to his seat. He picked up a pen and wrote down a list of materials on paper.


    The killing intent in Wu Mo''s expression gradually disappeared. He had already nned to make a move just now.


    If Wei Jiaming dared to act first, he would definitely not let him off the hook easily!


    ? After all, he was a different Wu Mo, not his introverted predecessor!


    If anyone had the guts to act like a wolf in front of him, Wu Mo could guarantee that he would definitely use a size 45 shoe to p the other guy''s size 44 face!


    His predecessor was definitely not used to problems!


    That was just the nature of his personality. Now that this Wu Mo had the help of the system, it would be a wasted trip if he was still a coward.


    After returning to his seat, he gradually calmed down and began to write down the materials needed to forge Thor''s hammer.


    However, he deliberately omitted the Legendary Essence so that no one would see through the quality of the equipment he wanted to forge.


    Even so, Wu Mo still wrote down seven or eight types of materials, which were slightly different from the ones given by the system. He added two additional energy stabilizers.<sub> </sub>


    "Wu Mo, are you done writing? Can I have a look?"


    Jiang Mengyao stood up. She held a piece of paper in her hand and immediately came to Wu Mo''s side. She bent down slightly and looked at Wu Mo curiously.


    "Here... Here it is."


    Wu Mo''s impression of this petite girl changed a little. He quickly handed the paper to her.


    "Alright, have a look at the materials I need. If possible, it would be even better if you could give me some suggestions."


    Wu Mo nodded with a smile and took the note from her.


    A few lines of beautiful words appeared on the beautiful piece of water with aplete border.


    Wu Mo took a cursory nce and could roughly picture forging steps in his mind. This strong sense of familiarity was also due to the fact that he had over 20 forging experiences every day.


    In any case, the flow of time in the Divine-grade Forging Space was slow, and he had plenty of time to practice actualbat each day.


    "Not bad. It''s quite practical."


    Wu Mo did not find any mistakes, but he felt that the set of materials seemed to be missing something. If he were to forge it just like that, it would probably be difficult to ensure the equipment''s inner bnce.


    Thinking of that, Wu Mo immediately picked up a pen and added one more material to Jiang Mengyao''s note¡ªWindwalker Wood!


    "Eh..."


    "Wu Mo, the materials you''ve listed are so expensive. Can these rare items really be bought?" Jiang Mengyao held his notebook and said in surprise.


    Wu Mo shrugged. "It''s okay. I have a way to get these materials."


    Jus then, Wei Jiaming, who had finished writing his list, stood up from his seat and quickly walked toward Jiang Mengyao.


    He saw the contents of the notebook at a nce.


    ''Hehe, you''re trash. You already have a ton of debt, but you still want to dream of a Divine weapon. You simply don''t know what''s good for you!''


    Wei Jiaming mocked Wu Mo in his heart, but he pretended to be indifferent on the surface.


    "Mengyao, let''s go to Treasure Pavilion to buy our materials tomorrow. If the two of us go together, we might be able to get a little discount."


    Wei Jiaming took out a palm-sized silver card from his pocket and casually said, "Oh right, I''m a silver card member of the store. You don''t have to wait in line to buy things."


    Jiang Mengyao nced at the item in Wei Jiaming''s hand, but she did not show any interest.


    "It''s okay, Wei. You should go by yourself."


    Seeing Jiang Mengyao''s clear refusal, the elegant smile on Wei Jiaming''s face disappeared. "Mengyao, Treasure Pavilion is the chamber ofmerce with the highest ss in our academy''s vicinity. If we don''t go to Treasure Pavilion, where else can we go?" he said with a surprised face.


    Jiang Mengyao turned around and looked at Wu Mo with a focused expression. "I''ll go wherever Wu Mo goes..." she said in a low voice.


    This time, Wei Jiaming could not pretend anymore. He clenched his fists so hard that they made cracking sounds.


    This d*mned Wu Mo! He had seduced the girl he liked on his first day of ss. Wu Mo did not take him seriously at all!


    Wei Jiaming snorted coldly and returned to his seat with haste. He had already made up his mind. Once he found an opportunity in the future, he wouldpletely cripple Wu Mo so that he would never be able to go to ss again!

 Chapter 20 Brewing Feud, Silver Card Storm

    The next morning.


    Beep beep beep...


    An increasingly loud rm sounded, waking Wu Mo up from his dream.


    "Urgh... it''s already morning."


    Wu Mo stretchedzily and opened his sleepy eyes to look out of the window.


    The rays of sunlight from outside pierced through the gaps in the curtains andnded on the bedsheets. They were somewhat dazzling.


    Wu Mo got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up. Then, he returned to his bedroom and unplugged his phone.


    It was already eight in the morning, half an hourter than usual.


    Wu Mo had set the rm for ater time after he saw Professor Zhou Yan mention that there would be no ss today.


    He looked at an unread message and found that Jiang Mengyao had sent it to him at seven in the morning.


    "Wu Mo, good morning. Are you awake now? We agreedst night that we would go and buy materials at nine in the morning. Don''t you dare stand me up!" she said.


    Wu Mo scratched his head. He thought for a moment before he replied,"I''m awake. See you at nine..."


    After replying to the message, Wu Mo went to the kitchen. He snapped his fingers lightly, and a row of fresh vegetables and meat appeared on the kitchen counter at the next second.


    "I''ll just have something to eat this morning. Let''s have some pork ribs and vegetable congee."


    Wu Mo smiled and immediately began to process the ingredients.


    Although the single dormitory was not very big, the things inside were stillplete. There were all kinds of cooking tools, which allowed Wu Mo to prepare the ingredients conveniently.


    After about twenty minutes, Wu Mo finished making arge bowl of congee, and he sat on the couch.


    By the time he finished eating and washing the dishes, it was already 8.50 am.


    Wu Mo put on a new set of cksmith clothes and casually cut his hair. He instantly felt energized.


    Then he put on his shoes and left the dormitory. Just as Wu Mo stepped out of his dormitory, he saw Jiang Mengyao quickly walking toward him.


    Jiang Mengyao was wearing a sky-blue cksmith dress today. It entuated her exquisite figure, and coupled with her unique schrly temperament, she looked like a gentle youngdy from ancient times.


    Wu Mo could not help but sigh in his heart. No wonder this girl became the school belle whom everyone talked about. There was no denying it in terms of her appearance and figure.


    "Good morning, Wu Mo!"


    Jiang Mengyao waved her hand and greeted him with a smile.


    "Good... Didn''t we agree to wait at the entrance of the academy? Why are you here?"


    Wu Mo walked forward and looked at the two dimples on Jiang Mengyao''s face as he softly asked.


    "Hmph, you still have the cheek to say that. I didn''t see you at the academy gate, so I came over..." Jiang Mengyao scrunched up her little nose and said with some dissatisfaction.


    "Ugh... It just turned nine," Wu Mo exined before the two of them walked side by side toward the academy''s east gate.


    "Oh right, Wu Mo, where are we going to buy materials today?"


    Jiang Mengyao crossed her hands behind her back and hopped around.


    "Treasure Pavilion, where the catalog is moreprehensive," Wu Mo immediately said.


    "Ah... Treasure Pavilion?"


    Jiang Mengyao hurried to Wu Mo''s side and pursed her lips before she said, "The items in Treasure Pavilion aren''t cheap. I found Hundred Herb Hall''s merchant two days ago, and the items there are actually quite good... Why don''t we go there this time?" Jiang Mengyao''s eyes flickered, but she quickly reacted and gave a suggestion.<sub> </sub>


    She felt that Wu Mo wanted to go to Treasure Pavilion because of his pride and he did not want others to find out the real situation.


    Hence, she offered another option.


    "It''s okay. My debt will be paid off soon. Besides, I still have money now. It''s not a problem to buy some materials."


    Wu Mo shook his head and said with a firm expression.


    "Ah... Alright."


    Jiang Mengyao''s beautiful eyes drooped a little. She was afraid that if she said too much, Wu Mo would be annoyed. So, she could only give up temporarily on the idea of persuading him. Nevertheless, she still felt that Wu Mo was putting on a brave front in her heart. In fact, the actual situation was not so optimistic.


    Jiang Mengyao had begun to pay attention to Wu Mo long ago. She had also heard about Wu Mo''s recent situation through various sources. She knew that Wu Mo had borrowed more than £¤2,000,000 to forge a Divine artifact. He probably would not be able to hold on for much longer.


    The two of them walked out of the academy one after the other. On the way, they even ran into students from the same ss.


    After all, the graduation assessment was approaching. Many students had started to collect the necessary materials to forge their equipment. They were leaving the academy more and more often.


    Simrly, it was a period of time when tutoring sses outside flourished the most. The cksmith who would cram at thest minute could not wait for thest half a month. They would not even sleep to study and practice as much as possible during that period.


    Treasure Pavilion was also one of the beneficiaries. Customers had already started to line up in Treasure Pavilion. By nine o''clock in the morning, the line was dozens of meters long.


    "There are already so many people at nine. It looks like there''s going to be a long wait..."


    Jiang Mengyao looked at the line that went from the entrance of Treasure Pavilion to the side of the street. She could not help but frown.


    Wu Mo looked around and found that there was a rope on the other side of Treasure Pavilion''s entrance. There were two well-dressed receptionists standing there, but there was no one around them.


    "Isn''t there no need to line up? Let''s go over there."


    Wu Mo made a move, but Jiang Mengyao tugged on his sleeve.


    "Wu Mo, it''s an entrance that only members can enter. My expenses aren''t enough for a membership. We can''t enter..."


    Wu Mo finally understood after he heard Jiang Mengyao''s exnation.


    Even so, he still felt that something was wrong. There was plenty of space in Treasure Pavilion, so why could only five people enter at a time?


    p "Hehe, good morning, Mengyao. It''s such a coincidence that we''re bumping into each other again!"</anda>


    At that moment, an ear-piercing voice rang out behind them. Wu Mo turned around and saw the man who had been in the same discussion group as him yesterday. The man was walking over with a smirk on his face.


    "Wei Jiaming, why are you here so early?"


    Jiang Mengyao was a little surprised to see him there.


    "I''m here to pick up my materials of course. The graduation assessment ising soon, so I have to hurry up."


    Wei Jiaming looked at Mengyao with a smile. Then, he noticed Wu Mo standing beside her out of the corner of his eye, and his expression immediately turned cold.


    "Oh right, what are you doing outside? Hurry up and go in."


    He nced at the long queue at Treasure Pavilion''s entrance and asked despite knowing the answer.


    "There''s a queue over there. It''ll probably take us another half an hour before we can enter."


    Jiang Mengyao did not notice the hidden meaning in Wei Jiaming''s words and subconsciously answered.


    Wu Mo stood at the side and looked at him coldly.


    He wanted to see what kind of tricks this guy had up his sleeves.


    "What''s the point of waiting in line? I have a silver membership card, and I can take the memberne. Come in with me," Wei Jiaming took out the membership card from his pocket and said proudly.

 Chapter 21 Showdown, I Am A VIP Of Treasure Pavilion!

    A delighted smile appeared on Jiang Mengyao''s face, but soon after, she realized his intentions. She subconsciously took a step back and raised her chin as she said, "Forget it. I''ll just wait in line. I want to go in with Wu Mo."


    Wu Mo''s mouth opened slightly. He did not expect Jiang Mengyao to reject Wei Jiaming''s invitation and wait in line with him under the sun.


    Silly girl...


    His heart was slightly moved, and a warm smile immediately appeared on his face.


    Wei Jiaming saw the situation, and his face instantly turned green.


    He snorted coldly and spoke angrily. "Fine, do it the hard way. Just follow that piece of trash outside and bask in the sun!"


    Wei Jiaming immediately walked toward the memberne. After the receptionist inspected his membership card, she promptly allowed Wei Jiaming to pass.


    "See, there''s a difference between people. Mengyao, you better think it through. If you keep following a person like that, your life will be ruined!"


    Wei Jiaming turned his head around and spoke arrogantly with his arms crossed in front of his chest.


    Wu Mo smirked. He could not be bothered with that foolish man.


    "Let''s go too..."


    Wu Mo held Jiang Mengyao''s hand and immediately walked toward the memberne.


    "Huh... didn''t I mention I can''t go in?"


    Jiang Mengyao was stunned. She wanted tofort Wu Mo, hoping that he would not be affected by Wei Jiaming.


    She did not expect Wu Mo to hold her hand instead. He did not seem frustrated at all.


    "Don''t worry. We can get in."


    Wu Mo snapped his fingers, and white light shed in front of him. A tinum card instantly appeared in his hand.


    Jiang Mengyao was stunned by Wu Mo''s magic. She could not speak for a moment. She stared nkly at Wu Mo''s handsome side profile and his perfect jaw line. She felt her heart beat very fast.


    The two of them immediately arrived at Treasure Pavilion''s entrance. Wei Jiaming saw them and immediately revealed a mocking expression. He wanted to see how that trash could enter Treasure Pavilion!


    "Hello, this is an exclusivene for members. Non-members will be required to queue up," a female receptionist with a ponytail blocked their way and said politely.


    Wu Mo directly handed the tinum card to her. The manager of Treasure Pavilion, Gao Yue, had personally given him the card. Wu Mo could definitely pass through the memberne.


    Wei Jiaming, who was standing in Treasure Pavilion''s hall, stared at the item in Wu Mo''s hand. When he realized that it was not a silver card at all, he became even more arrogant.


    "Haha, this is really hrious. What kind of ce do you think Treasure Pavilion is? You can''t just enter by forging a card. I''m afraid you''re too simple-minded!"


    At that moment, the young receptionist took the card and found the problem with just a nce. As a receptionist in Treasure Pavilion, she was familiar with silver cards. The thing in front of her was obviously not it.


    At the thought of Mr. Wei''s words, the receptionist began to look more serious. "I''m sorry, this isn''t a silver card. I''ll have to consult the manager for a moment."


    After the receptionist finished speaking, she took out her walkie-talkie and walked to the side to call the store manager.


    Seeing that, Wei Jiaming immediately spoke in a tone. "Tsk, tsk. You''ve practically thrown mud at our Divine Arms Academy. If you wanted to forge the card, you should''ve at least made it look alike. A real silver card looks like this. Have you seen it clearly?"


    Wei Jiaming waved his silver card in front of Wu Mo and rambled with a face full of arrogance.<sub> </sub>


    "Wu Mo, oh, Wu Mo, you really have no limits. Your strength has fallen to one star, but you still have the gall to wear a Four-star cksmith uniform and forge a membership card. This is simply too much. When I go back, I''ll definitely talk to our ssmates and make sure you be famous again. How about that?!"


    The smile on his face was unbridled. To be able to see Wu Mo suffer felt even better than winning £¤5,000,000.


    Wei Jiaming believed that once Mengyao saw Wu Mo''s true colors, she would definitely choose him as her other half!


    Wu Mo did not show any signs of panic. Wei Jiaming was like a fly in front of him, merely annoying to his ears.


    But Jiang Mengyao was much more flustered.


    She thought that Wu Mo came to Treasure Pavilion because he was acting tough at first. Never did she expect that he would actually choose to forge a membership card.


    She immediately grabbed Wu Mo''s arm to take him away. If Treasure Pavilion pursued him, Wu Mo might not even be able to graduate.


    After all, a membership card was an extremely valuable thing. If it was a serious crime, it could lead to imprisonment!


    Wu Mo''s life had already be so difficult. If he could not graduate sessfully, then his three years of hard work in the academy would bepletely wasted!


    However, just as she reacted, Treasure Pavilion''s manager, Gao Yue, rushed out and saw the two people standing at the door.


    "It''s over!"


    Jiang Mengyao''s heart suddenly sank. At that instant, she felt extremely regretful. She should not have asked Wu Mo toe out today. Now that the store manager was there, the matter would definitely not end well!


    As Jiang Mengyao thought about it, her beautiful eyes became teary, and her heart instantly jumped to her throat.


    Gao Yue quickly walked toward Treasure Pavilion''s door. He had heard from the receptionist on the phone that someone might have forged a card, so he immediately rushed over.


    He originally wanted to see who had the guts to do so. If it was confirmed, he would definitely use Treasure Pavilion''s authority to severely punish the person.


    However, as soon as he reached the door, he saw Wu Mo being blocked by the receptionist. Wu Mo was Treasure Pavilion''s only special consultant.


    "What''s going on? What are you doing? How dare you treat our VIP guest like this?!"


    Gao Yue walked up to Wu Mo. When he saw the tinum card in the receptionist''s hand, he immediately understood the whole situation and berated her angrily.


    After he finished speaking, he turned around. The expression on his face changed seamlessly from anger to respect. With an apologetic expression, he said to Wu Mo, "Mr. Wu, I''m really sorry. Our receptionist made a mistake. Please don''t take it to heart!"


    Gao Yue''s expression changed, causing the people standing around the door to be instantly taken aback.


    The young receptionist''s face turned pale. She looked at the store manager in fear, and her entire body could not help but tremble.


    She did not expect to actually offend Treasure Pavilion''s VIP guest. For a moment, she was so shocked that she stood rooted to the ground.


    Treasure Pavilion''s VIP guests were mostly influential figures in Shanglin City. For example, the CEO of the chamber ofmerce, the city''s officials, as well as many billionaires. They were all characters that she could not afford to offend.


    The receptionist was terrified, while Wei Jiaming''s face was filled with shock.


    Before he was twenty years old, he had be powerful by relying on his status as an aristocrat to obtain a silver membership card. Wu Mo, on the other hand, was just a piece of trash. How could he obtain the status of a VIP guest in Treasure Pavilion?


    He looked at the situation before him in disbelief. Everything felt so unreal.

 Chapter 22 The Price Of Being Unreasonable!

    "Huh? No, store manager, are you mistaken? Wu Mo is just a piece of trash who isn''t even a One-star cksmith. How could he be a VIP of Treasure Pavilion?!"


    After some contemtion, Wei Jiaming immediately opened his mouth to speak, his tone filled with doubt.


    Among the thousands of students in the Divine Arms Academy, no one had ever received VIP treatment in Treasure Pavilion. He, Wu Mo, was a nobody who had been depressed for half a year. How could he receive better treatment than him, a silver card holder? How could he?!


    Wei Jiaming''s words immediately broke the silence, causing Jiang Mengyao, who was standing beside Wu Mo, to snap out of it as well.


    She raised her head to look at the store manager standing in front of them and realized that he did not seem to be joking at all.


    Although she found it incredulous too, deep down in her heart, Jiang Mengyao still hoped that Wu Mo was a VIP in Treasure Pavilion. That way, there would not be any more problems.


    The few of them focused their gazes on Wu Mo. At that moment, Wu Mo remained extremely indifferent as he faced the manager.


    He nced at Wei Jiaming with a straight face and slowly said, "Store Manager Gao, I have no issue with the mistaken VIP card incident. However, I find that person to be rude. He''ll end up affecting Treasure Pavilion''s operations, so I think he should be cklisted."


    There was a trace of a cold smile on Wu Mo''s face as he looked at Wei Jiaming like he was an ant.


    He originally had no ns of making a move against this second-generation heir. Unfortunately, the other party had provoked him repeatedly. Wu Mo felt that if he did not do something now, he would appear too merciful.


    "Yes, that makes sense, Mr. Wu. I''ll deal with him now!"


    Gao Yue nodded. He immediately understood the meaning behind Wu Mo''s words. He turned his head and shouted to the back, "Security!"


    When Jia Ming noticed several security guards walking toward him, he started to be anxious.


    "What are you doing? I''m a silver member of Treasure Pavilion. What do you want from me?!"


    Wei Jiaming took out his silver membership card and shouted at the security guards nervously.


    "Hmph... I now dere the silver membership card in your hand invalid. From now on, you are no longer wee in the Treasure Pavilions on the entire continent! Do you want to leave by yourself, or do you want me to get someone to throw you out?!"


    The shop owner, Gao Yue, looked at him coldly. He had already decided in his heart.


    This so-called silver member was nothingpared to the special consultant that Treasure Pavilion had signed with great difficulty!


    He could expel the other guy without hesitation!


    "Why?! I''ve spent millions in Treasure Pavilion. Why should he expel me? What kind of card does he have? What right does he have to drive me away?!"


    Wei Jiaming was not willing to be driven away just like that. He gritted his teeth and stared at Wu Mo as he shouted hysterically.


    "Why? Because Mr. Wu is a VIP of our Treasure Pavilion, and he has a tinum card, which is two levels higher than a silver card! It''s something that only a specially invited consultant can have!"


    "Security... escort our guest out!"


    Wei Jiaming''s pupils instantly became unfocused. He did not have time to say anything else, as the security guard who walked over covered his mouth and lifted him up.


    "Hrgnh!"


    Wei Jiaming struggled with all his might. He believed that there was still a chance for things to turn around. He could not ept being cklisted by Treasure Pavilion.


    One should know that the equipment he forged contained many high-grade materials. Only arge-scale chamber ofmerce like Treasure Pavilion could supply all of them.


    If he was cklisted from now on, it would be difficult to find all the materials!


    Despite that, the burly security guards did not give him a chance and threw him on the road.


    "Get lost, or I''ll call thew enforcement!"<sub> </sub>


    Wei Jiaming''s body was hurt all over, and he was about to fall apart. Facing the two fierce security guards, he could only clench his teeth and endure the pain throughout his body as he limped away.


    Many of the customers in the queue were students from the Divine Arms Academy. A few of them had grudges against Wei Jiaming, and they took out their phones to record the process, preparing to send it directly to the academy''s forum.


    On the other side, Jiang Mengyao watched as Wei Jiaming escaped with his tail between his legs. Her heart was filled with worry.


    She was worried that Wei Jiaming would wait for an opportunity to exact revenge on Wu Mo. After some thought, she decided to ask Wu Mo to be more careful and not to leave the academy at night.


    "Mr. Wu, I hope that others won''t disturb you anymore. Let''s not just stand here. Please follow me to the VIP room on the second floor of Treasure Pavilion," Gao Yue said respectfully.


    Wu Mo nodded. He held Jiang Mengyao''s little hand and said in a low voice, "Let''s go to the second floor first."


    Jiang Mengyao''s fair face turned a little red, but she still followed Wu Mo upstairs.


    The three of themter sat down on a leather couch. Wu Mo looked at the decorations around the VIP room and could not help but exim in his heart.


    This was even better than the reception room he had seen during his first visit. The daily life of a person with status was really different from that of an ordinary person.


    "Manager Gao, I''m here to purchase some materials. I wonder if there are any items on this list in Treasure Pavilion."


    Wu Mo took out the list he had written in ss and handed it to the manager.


    Gao Yue took it and had a look. As he read through the list, he would sometimes frown and sometimes fall into deep thought. After a full two minutes, he spoke with uncertainty.


    "Mr. Wu, of the materials listed, three are in stock in Treasure Pavilion. The other two will arrive in about three days."


    When Wu Mo heard that, he immediately raised his eyebrows. He found this branch of Treasure Pavilion quite powerful. It even had those precious materials.


    "In that case, please take a look at this one. Help me prepare a set."


    Wu Mo handed over the list of materials that Jiang Mengyao had made straight away.


    This time, Gao Yue only took a nce before he immediately agreed.


    Although there were some rare materials on the second list, they were not too precious. They were already in stock in Treasure Pavilion.


    He pressed the service bell on the table, and a beautiful receptionist in a business suit walked in a momentter.


    Gao Yue gave her the order, and the receptionist immediately went down to handle it.


    Jiang Mengyao blinked her big eyes and looked at Wu Mo.


    She had assumed that it would take her a while to collect the materials she needed, but she did not expect Wu Mo to do it all for her. It was surreal.


    She could not help but wonder if Wu Mo was still the boy she knew.


    It had only been half a month since theyst met, but Wu had seemingly changed. He could take charge of his own affairs, and he was mature as well as steady.


    Even his courage had grown, and he was holding her hand.


    In the past, Wu Mo would have never dared to do that.


    "Had Wu Mo experienced something recently that caused his way of thinking to undergo arge-scale change?"


    All kinds of thoughts emerged in Jiang Mengyao''s mind. She was worried and happy at the same time.


    "Oh right, Manager Gao, I wonder if Treasure Pavilion has ready-made Legendary Essence?"

 Chapter 23 Legendary Essence

    Wu Mo pondered for a moment but still said what was on his mind.


    He felt that since Treasure Pavilion even had the Blessed Mithril, then the Legendary Essence should also be in stock!


    However, when the other two people in the VIP room heard the words "Legendary Essence," they were instantly stunned.


    They stared at Wu Mo.


    "Legendary Essence... Mr. Wu, are you going to refine Legendary-grade equipment?"


    Manager Gao Yue widened his eyes and looked at Wu Mo.


    Legendary Essence was an extremely precious material. It only existed in natural paradises on the entire continent. Any time Legendary Essence appeared, it would cause a huge uproar.


    Such a spirit item was worth at least £¤3,000,000. Moreover, there was no market for it. Most of the time, people would exchange it for other items.


    Money was hard to measure!


    The only use Legendary Essence had was in the creation of Legendary equipment. So, how could the manager not be surprised when he heard Wu Mo say that he needed this item?


    Although Mr. Wu had extremely strong forging skills, it was difficult enough to achieve four stars before the age of twenty.


    If he wanted to forge Legendary equipment, he needed to reach at least Seven-star forging strength. No matter how talented Mr. Wu was, it was impossible for him to have such an ability!


    As those thoughts gued his mind, many questions formed in Gao Yue''s heart. When he contemted whether he should ask them or not, Wu Mo opened his mouth first and said, "Manager Gao, you''ve misunderstood me. Actually, I just want to collect a portion of Legendary Essence, just in case I need it..."


    Hearing Wu Mo''s exnation, it suddenly dawned on Gao Yue. However, he looked a bit embarrassed.


    After hesitating for a while, he helplessly said, "Mr. Wu, I understand what you mean. However, we don''t have Legendary Essence in stock in our Treasure Pavilion, and I''m afraid we won''t be able to obtain it in a short time..."


    Hearing the manager''s words, Wu Mo frowned. "Is that so? Don''t you have this material in your headquarters?" he asked in disappointment.


    In order to forge the thunder god''s hammer, he had to increase the quality of the Legendary Essence. Otherwise, he would definitely not be able to forge the product due to theck of energy. Therefore, Legendary Essence was very important to him. If it was possible... he wanted to continue fighting for it.


    Meanwhile, Jiang Mengyao looked at Wu Mo on the leather couch, her thoughts drifting far away.


    Even though Wu Mo had exined why he needed the Legendary Essence, he could not hide his lie from Treasure Pavilion''s manager.


    Thest time Wu Mo became depressed was because he wanted to forge a Divine weapon. In the end, he fell into debt and locked himself up at home, studying all day long.


    When Jiang Mengyao saw that Wu Mo had changed, she thought that he had really forgotten about his past goal. However, when he mentioned the Legendary Essence, Jiang Mengyao knew that Wu Mo had yet to let it go.


    Once she understood that, Jiang Mengyao became nervous. She was afraid that Wu Mo''s energy and confidence were all fake; she was afraid that he would be depressed again!


    She looked down at Wu Mo''s left hand, and an inexplicable feeling lingered in her heart.


    "Sigh... Mr. Wu, let me tell you the truth. Actually, our Treasure Pavilion has been preparing for an auction, and we recently contacted a merchant who sells Legendary Essence. It''s just that, not long ago, there was a viciouspetition between our Treasure Pavilion and another chamber ofmerce. They deliberately raised their price by half and bought the Legendary Essence."


    Gao Yue, who was sitting across from Wu Mo, revealed a helpless expression as he shared the news that only the higher-ups knew about.


    "As a result, the auction that we''ve been nning to hold can only be temporarily put on hold. Now, even if we were to transfer the goods from our headquarters, it would take at least a month..." Gao Yue spread his hands and exined.<sub> </sub>


    ''A month? I don''t have that much time!'' Wu Mo thought to himself.


    The Divine Arms Academy''s graduation assessment would be in half a month''s time. At that time, all the students would have to show off their forged equipment. If they did not have the Legendary Essence, his n would be ruined, and all his previous preparations would have been in vain!


    There was no time at all!


    Thinking of that, Wu Mo slowly lowered his eyes. A momentter, he stood up from the couch and said with a smile, "Alright, I got it. When your pavilion has Legendary Essence in the future, just remember to let me know... Let''s go, Mengyao."


    Wu Mo pulled Jiang Mengyao up and walked out of the VIP room.


    Manager Gao Yue immediately stood up and prepared to send them off.


    The three of them had just traveled down the stairs when they saw the beautiful receptionist who had gone to prepare the materials. She walked over with two strong security guards behind her.


    The security guards were carrying huge metal boxes as they followed her.


    "Manager Gao, these are the materials that you ordered me to prepare earlier. Everything in stock is ready. There are still some materials that will arrive in three days," the receptionist bowed to the three people and said respectfully.


    Wu Mo released Jiang Mengyao''s hand and opened an iron box. He found that there were indeed some glowing materials inside, which were exactly what he needed.


    "Manager Gao, here''s the deposit of £¤800,000. I will pay the rest once all the materials are ready."


    Wu Mo tapped his finger lightly, and there was a sh of white light. Soon after, eight silvery-white bills appeared out of thin air andnded steadily in Gao Yue''s hand.


    "The Interspatial Ring!"


    Looking at the paper and pen that suddenly appeared in his hand, Gao Yue immediately raised his head. When he saw the silver ring on Wu Mo''s finger, a hint of surprise shed in his eyes, and he subconsciously recalled thest time Wu Mopleted a transaction at Treasure Pavilion.


    Gao Yue himself had also been there. He had personally witnessed the special effects of the Interspatial Ring, and it really shocked him at that time.


    However, Gao Yue did not expect Wu Mo to have another one in his hand. He could not help but feel emotional.


    "Mr. Wu, everything will be done ording to your instructions!"


    Gao Yue cupped his hands and looked at Wu Mo with admiration.


    Seeing that the store manager had agreed, Wu Mo no longer hesitated. He swept up the two boxes of materials lightly and stored them in his Interspatial Ring.


    The store manager felt even more envious when he witnessed his actions. The Interspatial Ring was incredibly useful. If he could have one, he would not have to send people to guard the precious materials hidden in the warehouse anymore. He could put them directly into the Interspatial Ring and save himself a lot of trouble!


    "Take care, Consultant Wu..."


    As he saw Wu Mo and the young woman preparing to leave, Gao Yue immediately bowed to send them off.


    Once he was sure that they were gone from Treasure Pavilion, he stood up with a face full of emotions.


    "Manager Gao, the transaction earlier was against the rules, right? He should have paid the full fees for the reserved materials. How could he only give a part of the deposit?"


    The receptionist in professional attire walked up to Gao Yue and looked at the door where those two individuals had disappeared. She sounded a little concerned.

 Chapter 24 Change Of Plan

    "Mr. Wu is an honored guest in Treasure Pavilion and a Four-star cksmith at that. Don''t tell me you''re worried that he won''t pay..." Gao Yue held his hands behind his back and responded indifferently.


    "But..."


    The receptionist wanted to say something else. After all, she was the one present in the transaction. If there were any problems in the future, she would probably be questioned as well.


    "There are no buts. Let''s get back to work!" Gao Yue said coldly as he turned around and walked toward the second floor of Treasure Pavilion.


    Looking at the luxuriously dressed customersing and going, the ghost of a smile appeared on his face.


    In Gao Yue''s eyes, cksmith Wu Mo was definitely not an ordinary person. Taking advantage of the fact that he had yet to soar into the skies, Gao Yue wanted to befriend him as soon as possible. The benefits that Treasure Pavilion would receive in the future would definitely be more than the two to three million worth of materials!


    ...


    Elsewhere, Wu Mo and Jiang Mengyao revealed their identities and walked through the gates of the Divine Arms Academy.


    Wu Mo''s gaze was level as he strode forward.


    In contrast, Jiang Mengyao''s brows were slightly furrowed, as though she had something on her mind. Soon, she fell behind by more than 10 meters.


    "Wu Mo... wait for me."


    Jiang Mengyao spoke in a slightly aggrieved tone. At the same time, she quickened her pace and immediately caught up to him.


    "What''s wrong? Didn''t we get some materials? What are you worried about?"


    Wu Mo turned his head to look at Jiang Mengyao and found that there was something wrong with the girl.


    "You... You want Legendary Essence. Are you nning to refine a Divine weapon?"


    Jiang Mengyao raised her head to look at Wu Mo as she confronted him unhappily.


    Umm...


    Wu Mo was stumped by Jiang Mengyao''s sudden question.


    He needed the Legendary Essence to refine Mjolnir.


    But if he told others about it now, they would think that he was crazy.


    Thus, Wu Mo decided to hide the fact that he wanted to refine a Divine weapon.


    "No, I just want to collect Legendary Essence. When I be stronger, I''ll consider refining a Divine weapon. I don''t have the skills now."


    Spreading his hands, Wu Mo pretended to be innocent.


    "Hmph... Don''t try to lie to me. You''re still in debt. How can you have the money to collect Legendary Essence? Are you going to take out another loan?"


    Jiang Mengyao refused to believe Wu Mo''s words. She stepped forward and stared him in the face, trying to pull him back.


    She seemed extremely serious as Wu Mo looked at her petite face.


    Wu Mo was stunned for a moment. Then, he immediately reacted. This little girl was probably afraid that he would end up like before again, moping all day long and being depressed in the midst of defeat.


    He took a deep breath and held Jiang Mengyao''s little hand as he gently exined, "Mengyao, don''t worry. I won''t be as stupid as before. I''m very clear-headed now. I know my current level, and I won''t overestimate myself."


    "So, please don''t worry. I''m really good now, and I''ll definitely prove my abilities during the graduation assessment. Please believe me... okay?"


    Wu Mo looked down into Mengyao''s eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly with a faint smile.


    Mengyao''s fair little face turned red. She lowered her head shyly, her heart already in a mess.


    "In that case... Alright, I believe that you won''t do anything stupid again, but you have to promise me that you won''t lie to me in the future!"


    Her voice was as soft as a mosquito, and her ears were burning.<sub> </sub>


    If Wu Mo had not been listening carefully, he would not have noticed it at all.


    He let out a faint sigh of relief, thinking that he had finally cated her.


    On the surface, he remained as calm as ever, nodding his head in agreement with a serious expression.


    "Okay... let''s go."


    Jiang Mengyao pursed her lips as a sweet feeling began to form in her heart.


    The two of them strolled side by side in the academy and soon parted ways in front of the dormitory buildings.


    Wu Mo took out the material box that Mengyao needed from his Interspatial Ring.


    Since Jiang Mengyao was forging light-armor-type equipment, the original weights of the materials were also light. It was easy to carry the box.


    "See you tomorrow. Remember to contact me on the phone," Jiang Mengyao waved her hand and said with a smile.


    "Okay, got it. Let''s go back," Wu Mo responded and immediately walked toward his dormitory building.


    He lowered his head and stared at his toes. He began to think about the thunder god''s hammer.


    Even arge-scale chamber ofmerce like the Treasure Pavilion did not have Legendary Essence. It was likely that he would not be able to finish forging it in a short time.


    If he wanted to make it before the graduation assessment, he had to make some improvements or adjustments to lower the quality of Mjolnir.


    However, if he wanted to do it well, he had to do a lot of research. He was afraid that there would be a lot of things to do in the next week.


    Furthermore, the materials were not the only thing that troubled him. He had just handed over a deposit of £¤800,000, and he needed to raise the remaining £¤2,000,000 within three days. The matter was a thorn in his side.


    After he took the elevator to the seventh floor, Wu Mo returned to his small home.


    <o>,m Looking at the clean and tidy living room, he calmed down a lot.</o>


    Compared with the chaotic mess at the beginning, the dormitory was now much more pleasing to the eye.


    Since he could make a change in his life, Wu Mo believed that he could alsoplete the transition in his ability. Before the graduation assessment, he would forge the Divine weapon, Mjolnir!


    He sat down on the couch and snapped his fingers. At the next moment, some of the materials from Treasure Pavilion appeared in front of him.


    The Blessed Mithril had a smooth surface and shone with pure white light.


    The Centennial Serpentine Wood waspletely ck. Its surface was mottled with ck and white lines that resembled snake patterns. At the same time, it emitted the smell of ink.


    The Clear Cyan Mound Stone was extremely hard, and it emanated a metallic luster. It was cold to the touch as if he had grown in a ce with extremely cold air.


    Looking at the three materials on the coffee table, a hint of joy appeared on Wu Mo''s face.


    These materials were of high quality. If he had bought them from other ces, he might not have been able to collect them all in a short period of time. Fortunately, ever since he had be a consultant for Treasure Pavilion, he had the right to order them in advance. As such, he had collected more than half of them in one go. It could be considered a rare joyous asion.


    He could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart. First, he took out his phone to check the time. Then, he immediately closed his eyes, and with his thoughts, he entered the Divine-grade Forging Space.


    Once he could tell that his senses had been cut off, Wu Mo slowly opened his eyes. Right then, the three materials that he had just obtained were already on the workbench in front of him.


    "Although I have obtained a lot of materials, I still haven''t obtained the Violet Thunder Origin Stone and the Legendary Essence needed to refine Mjolnir. I can''t forge it at all."


    "Time is a little tight right now. I can''t waste any more of it!"


    Wu Mo ced both of his hands on the t workbench, and his brain instantly became active.


    After looking at the pitch-ck Serpentine Wood and the Clear Cyan Mound Stone that could refract light, a bold idea suddenly shed through Wu Mo''s mind.

 Chapter 25 Premium-Grade Equipment!

    "I''ve prepared all the materials needed to forge the hammer handle. I might as well finish forging it first!"


    Wu Mo''s eyes shone with a bright light, and he went to work right away. He threw the Clear Cyan Mound Stone into the furnace. As he controlled the me, he took out a small knife to peel off the bark on the surface of the Serpentine Wood.


    The high temperature in the furnace distorted the space. The red mes wrapped the cyan stone that was emitting a green light, and the energy inside immediately boiled.


    Although the cyan stone was hard in nature, under the intense high temperature, it began to transform. Wu Mo observed the situation inside through the air vent and raised the temperature again.


    He had peeled off the dry and messy bark on the surface of the Serpentine Wood with a knife, revealing brown wood, which was as smooth as jade.


    "As expected of hundred-year-old material. This quality is remarkable," Wu Mo muttered to himself.


    Then, he also threw the Serpentine Wood into the furnace. He wanted to see the wood''s ignition point and the method of fusion.


    The mes instantly rose up and swallowed the two. At this point, the Cyan Mound Stone had gradually started to shrink, and the impurities inside were being forced out bit by bit.


    As for the Serpentine Wood, its entire body had be charred ck. However, the mes appeared the same, as if there were no changes.


    Wu Mo used the control rod to slowly approach the furnace. He wanted to attempt to fuse the two materials, but their two energies werepletely different. Waves of repulsive force formed, directly dispersing more than half of the surrounding mes.


    Wu Mo frowned slightly, but he was a little stubborn in his heart. He once again increased the temperature, trying to force the two to fuse. However, there was a white sh in the air vent at the next second.


    A muffled sound was heard.


    Then, grayish-ck fragments and sawdust were expelled, making Wu Mo speechless.


    "Backtrack!"


    Wu Mo was not discouraged. He had seen such failure thousands of times, and every failure was akin to drinking water. It was bing dull and tasteless.


    He continued the previous steps, operating the furnace tirelessly, growing with each failure.


    He gained a lot of knowledge that the academy did not impart to him.


    His failurested for more than a hundred attempts before Wu Mo finally understood the nature of the two materials.


    Ignition point, hardness, texture, and energy type¡ªhe could easily identify these characteristics, which a Seven-star cksmith would not even pay attention to.


    Following another sh of light, the furnace did not undergo the typical ash discharge process of failure. Instead, the interior became pitch ck, and all the mes disappeared.


    ng!


    The sound of metal colliding could be heard, and the lid of the huge furnace automatically rose. Due to the air pressure, the things inside flew out once that happened.


    When Wu Mo raised his head in shock and looked over, he saw a 60-centimeter-long brown stick floating in the air.


    The end of the stick glinted with a cold light that was no different from the Cyan Mound Stone!


    This short staff-like object also gave off a pale green light, and it was particrly dazzling in the chaotic pitch-ck space.


    Wu Mo immediately held it in his hand and felt a chill in his palm. Additionally, the short staff had a weight that did not match its size. Its lethality was definitely not ordinary!


    Looking at the short staff that was now emanating a purple glow, Wu Mo''s heart was extremely excited. He quickly muttered in his heart, ''System, equipment appraisal!''


    [Ding... Equipment appraisal sessful. Its attributes are as follows.


    [Type of Equipment: Stick-type weapon


    [Name: Armor-piercing Short Staff


    [Grade: Premium


    [System Score: 41 points


    [Effects: 1. Snake Dance (after activation, the user''s speed can be greatly increased). Lasts for 10 seconds. Cooldown: 10 hours.


    [2. Piercing (can bypass the defense of equipment below Premium-grade).<sub> </sub>


    [Additional Description: This weapon is also the handle of Thor''s hammer, Mjolnir. The final quality of Mjolnir will be determined by the hammer''s body. The stronger the material used to forge the hammer''s body, the better the final quality!]


    Looking at the rather illusory panel in front of him, Wu Mo''s heart was mixed with joy and worry.


    He was happy that the equipment he had worked hard to forge was extremely powerful. However, he was worried because, at this point, he was not going to seed in forging the final version of Thor''s hammer!


    Without the Legendary Essence, no matter how hard he worked, Mjolnir''s final quality would not surpass Epic-grade.


    There was a higher probability that he would not be able to sessfully forge it due to the unstable energy supply.


    Holding the heavy short staff and looking at the ck and white patterns on it, Wu Mo felt a little upset.


    He had already pushed himself to the limit. In order to forge the short staff, he had stayed in the space for at least 10 hours.


    Although it was a little difficult to calm down, Wu Mo collected himself and slowly exited the Divine-grade Forging Space.


    Noticing that the materials had disappeared before him, he kept the short staff in his Interspatial Ring. Then, he returned to his bedroom, feeling rather tired.


    He saw an unread message from Jiang Mengyao but did not even have the strength to lift his arm. He soon fell into a deep slumber.


    ...


    The sunlight outside the window was dazzling. At the bottom of the dormitory building, the evergreen trees rustled under the breeze.


    Since it was a day off, most of the students took the opportunity to go home.


    Of course, it was the same for Wei Jiaming.


    He covered his bruised face and returned to his vi.


    "Young Master, why are you back?"


    The servant in the yard greeted Wei Jiaming respectfully when he saw him.


    "Do your job."


    Wei Jiaming red at the servant and immediately walked into the living room.


    He had been thrown out of the door by Treasure Pavilion''s security guards. His face was bruised, and he had been cklisted by Treasure Pavilion forever. Anger was stifling him, so how could he still put on a good front?


    Wei Jiaming entered the living room in the luxurious three-story duplex vi and immediately saw his father sitting on the couch, chatting with the butler.


    "Father!"


    Wei Jiaming quickened his steps toward his father with hatred in his eyes. He was in his current situation because Wu Mo had nned it!


    Not only did that guy snatch away one of his favorite school belles, Jiang Mengyao, but he had also deliberately made him embarrass himself in Treasure Pavilion. How could Wei Jiaming swallow such hatred?!


    Wei Jiaming nned to use his family''s power topletely cripple that guy called Wu Mo!


    Plus, he would certainly not let Treasure Pavilion off the hook for the way they treated him!


    "Jiaming? Why are you back?!" the middle-aged man sitting on the couch slowly stood up and asked with a surprised expression.


    He was wearing a formal brown suit, his skin was bronzed, and there was a conspicuous scar at the corner of his eye. However, there was a heroic air between his brows, and his entire person had a dignified aura. He was obviously someone who had been in a high position for a long time.


    He was Wei Jiaming''s father, Wei Jian!


    Wei Jian was also the governor of the City Protection Force. He held a well-trained army in his hands, and he had quite a lot of power in Shanglin City.


    Wei Jian had only asked in surprise, but when he saw the injury on his son, Wei Jiaming''s face, his tone suddenly became fierce.


    The gray-haired butler, who was standing at the side, could not help but frown.

 Chapter 26 The Wei Family’s Plan!

    "Son, what happened to you? Who hurt you?!"


    Wei Jiaming ran to his father''s side, his eyes red as he said, "Father, you have to make a decision for your son. I was set up by a person called Wu Mo in the academy! I was even cklisted by Treasure Pavilion forever."


    Wei Jiaming''s tone was filled with grievance and dissatisfaction. Everyone knew his identity since he was young. Who would dare to not give in to him?


    But this time, he had suffered such a huge loss. How could he swallow this.


    When Wei Jiaming''s words came out, Wei Jian and the butler standing at the side had a drastic change in expression.


    The butler was somewhat shocked. With the Wei family''s status in Upper Forest City, who would be so bold to attack Wei Jiaming? Moreover, they even broke Young Master Wei''s face. They did not put the Wei family in their eyes at all.


    When Wei Jian heard his son''s words, the veins on his forehead immediately bulged, and a strong killing intent burst out from his eyes.


    Everyone in Upper Forest City knew that Wei Jian was a protective person. Even so, there were still people who dared to attack his son. If he didn''t kill a few people, it would be a disgrace to his reputation as Tiger Wei!


    "Jiaming, what happened? Tell me in detail. Your father will definitely help you vent your anger!"


    Wei Jian spoke word by word, each word carrying a heavy killing intent.


    At that moment, the servants outside immediately came in with disinfectant and ice bags to help Wei Jiaming treat the wound on his face.


    Wei Jiaming sat on the couch and told the whole story of his encounter with Wu Mo.


    "Father, this is how it happened. That guy called Wu Mo has always been against me. I don''t know what kind of dog sh*t luck he got to be a special consultant in Treasure Pavilion. Thanks to that partnership, I was cklisted by Treasure Pavilion..."


    As soon as his voice trailed off, the entirerge living room became silent.


    "Wu Mo... A small-time Four-star cksmith actually offended our Wei family. I''ll arrange for an assassin to kill him the next time he leaves the academy. However, I can''t do anything to Treasure Pavilion for now," Wei Jian stroked his beard and said coldly.


    Right then, the butler who had been silent for a long time suddenly said, "Master, I think there''s another way to solve this matter. Not only can we kill that kid surnamed Wu, but we can also use this opportunity to demolish Treasure Pavilion."


    "Oh? There''s such a way? Hurry up and tell me about it."


    When the angry Wei Jian heard the butler''s words, his curiosity was piqued.


    The butler, who was over sixty years old, cupped his hands and bowed. Then he spoke with a smile. "Master, we can start from the Unique Treasure Hall that we funded previously. Wasn''t Treasure Pavilion a thorn in your side previously? You''ve always wanted to uproot them."


    "Previously, our Unique Treasure Hall was suppressed by Treasure Pavilion because we had just entered this city and our foundation wasn''t stable. But now, the young master has created an opportunity for us. We can take them down effortlessly. Moreover, we can avoidmercialpetition that consumes money. One could say that it kills two birds with one stone."


    The butler had a smile and a mysterious look on his face, which made the father and son on the couch a little baffled.


    "Don''t keep us guessing. What''s the solution?"


    Wei Jian became impatient and asked him directly.


    The Wei family had indeed invested in the establishment of Unique Treasure Hall. Moreover, because of Wei Jian''s position, he was able to receive orders from the City Protection Force for the production of military equipment. However, because of the backward market, his reputation was much worse than that of Treasure Pavilion.


    As, the Wei family had usedmercial methods many times, causing many obstacles to Treasure Pavilion, including monopolizing certain materials and selling them at low prices. However, it was still difficult to hurt its foundation, and they could notpete with it.<sub> </sub>


    That brought the profits and losses of Unique Treasure Hall to a negative for half a year. Wei Jian had been having a headache because of it.


    He could not think of any way to take Treasure Pavilion down without bloodshed. Therefore, when he heard the butler say that there was a way, he still did not have much hope in his heart.


    At this time, his butler slowly said, "Grandpa, my suggestion is actually very simple. Kick the dojo! Don''t underestimate this approach. Sometimes, kicking the dojo can solve most of your problems."


    Wei Jian raised his eyebrows slightly in bewilderment and asked, "Kick the dojo? How?! Our two families are both chambers ofmerce, not martial arts dojos. What''s the use of this?!"


    Wei Jiaming nodded and looked confused.


    The butler smiled mysteriously and said, "We can send people to Treasure Pavilion to cause trouble. We can say that we want the two chambers ofmerce to learn from each other and exchange casting techniques. We can also ask the media to report it so that Treasure Pavilion has no choice but to ept our invitation!"


    "When the timees, the two chambers ofmerce will have a casting showdown. The best one will seize the market in Shanglin City. When Treasure Pavilion loses, they will also lose face. In the future, no one will buy their materials and appointmissions to them!"


    Once he got to this point, a sinister smile appeared on the butler''s face, as though he was holding a pearl of wisdom in his hand.


    Hiss...


    Wei Jian sat up straight. His eyes narrowed slightly as he began to think about the areas that could be manipted.


    However, the inexperienced Wei Jiaming still did not quite understand. He could not help but ask, "A casting duel? So, what are we going topete in?"


    The butler looked at Wei Jiaming''s expectant gaze and answered with a vicious smile, "Let''spete in the forging of defensive equipment. As long as Treasure Pavilion agrees, our Unique Treasure Hall will definitely win!"


    As soon as he said that, Wei Jiaming instantly seemed interested! He could not help but p his thigh and exim, "Not bad, Butler Zhang. I''m really satisfied with your n!"


    He could not help but feel excited. Competing with Treasure Pavilion to forge defensive equipment was a brilliant n.


    One should know that the Wei family''s Unique Treasure Hall was backed by the City Protection Force of Shanglin City. The officials had recently developed a new set of defensive equipment for the City Protection Force and were preparing to have Unique Treasure Hall mass produce it.


    The Wei family had known about the new defensive equipment since the beginning. Moreover, they had seen the heavy equipment with their own eyes.


    Wei Jiaming had learned from his father that the armor was called Soft Golden Silk Armor. It was a powerful armor forged by a Six-star cksmith in Shanglin City.


    Although the Soft Golden Silk Armor was only of Rare grade, its effects were surprisingly good.


    After the family tested it, they found that the Soft Golden Silk Armor could not only weaken arge number of physical attacks, but it also had good defensive power against magic attacks.


    Weapons of the same level could not destroy it at all. Once it was worn, it was almost invincible.


    The defensive equipmentpetition would involve actualbat. As Treasure Pavilion''s special consultant, Wu Mo would definitely participate in the defensivepetition with him.


    When that time came, he, Wei Jiaming, could force Wu Mo, who was participating in thepetition, to go on stage and test Treasure Pavilion''s armor.


    It is important to note that on the stage, fists and feet had no eyes. Moreover, when it came to the defensive test of equipment, even if someone was killed by the opponent''s weapon, both sides could not have the slightest objection.


    One could imagine what kind of situation Wei Jiaming would be in when he faced Wu Mo on the stage, wearing the Soft Golden Silk Armor!

 Chapter 27 Causing Trouble

    Thinking of that, Wei Jiaming''s hands unwittingly trembled as if he could already see the miserable state of Wu Mo dying in his hands in the arena!


    Once he killed Wu Mo in front of everyone, not only would he be a meritorious official in his family, but he would have also exacted his revenge, killing two birds with one stone!


    With that in mind, Wei Jiaming immediately stood up from the couch. His face was full of joy as he said, "Butler, this n of yours truly has merit. Father, let''s arrange for people to put things into motion!" A trace of coldness shed across Wei Jian''s face as he heard that. He had regarded Treasure Pavilion as a thorn in his side for a long time. If he could use this n topletely eliminate them, it would definitely be a good thing for the entire Wei family!


    "Butler, go down and make arrangements. Remember not to leave any trace behind. We mustn''t give Treasure Pavilion the chance to refuse!"


    He slowly clenched his fists, and the friction between his bones made a cracking sound.


    The butler received his master''s order and promptly did as he was told, hurrying out the door.


    Seeing this, a sinister smile slowly appeared on Wei Jiaming''s face.


    "Wu Mo, I''ll let you gloat for a while longer. When the timees for thepetition, I''ll break your limbs and cripple youpletely!"


    ...


    On the other side, in Treasure Pavilion, Manager Gao Yue was in the warehouse on the second floor, talking on the phone with someone from the headquarters.


    "Alright, Elder. I''ll definitely take care of the matter. Don''t worry!" Gao Yue said calmly.


    Immediately after, he hung up.


    Just as he was about to count the rare materials in the warehouse, he heard a sudden series of urgent knocks on the door.


    "Who is it?" he asked with some displeasure.


    Gao Yue frowned a little and quickly walked to the door.


    "Manager Gao, something bad has happened. The people from Unique Treasure Hall havee to cause trouble!"


    An urgent voice rang outside the door. It was the receptionist, Yu Qing.


    Hearing all the noise, Gao Yue''s face changed.


    He immediately opened the door and walked out.


    "Unique Treasure Hall! Those guys aren''t doing very well. What are they nning now?"


    At that moment, Gao Yue could already hear the chaotic soundsing from downstairs. He could not help but clench his fists.


    Ever since Unique Treasure Hall entered Shanglin City, it had been Treasure Pavilion''s arch nemesis. Lately, the other party had secretly been using countless means to destroy them through maliciouspetition.


    If it were not for the support from its headquarters and the fact that Treasure Pavilion had umted a good reputation in the local area, those scoundrels would have long seeded.


    When Gao Yue heard that the people from Unique Treasure Hall had directlye to their shop to cause trouble, the anger in his heart immediately red up.


    "Manager Gao, please go down and take a look. Not only did Unique Treasure Hall bring over a dozen people, but they also invited the three famous media outlets in Shanglin City. It''s obvious that they want to cause trouble."


    Yu Qing''s face was slightly pale, and her tone was slightly anxious.


    Gao Yue''s eyes turned cold, and he immediately walked toward the hall.


    At that moment, the street where Treasure Pavilion was located, Changxi Street, had be much livelier than usual.


    A few young men carrying cameras and press cards had arrived outside Treasure Pavilion, broadcasting the situation there in real-time.


    In a media car parked by the road, a few staff members were adjusting their equipment, ready to connect to the television station at any time.<sub> </sub>


    "Where''s the person in charge of Treasure Pavilion? Please hurry out. Don''t let these nobodies waste my time!"


    A middle-aged man wearing a dark blue robe stood outside Treasure Pavilion''s door and shouted impatiently.


    Two cultivators of simr age were standing next to the man. Both of them held weapons that emitted a faint blue light, and they looked at the surrounding people with cold expressions.


    Behind the three of them were many people from Unique Treasure Hall. One of them was Wei Jiaming, who had lost face this morning.


    This time, Wei Jiaming had an arrogant smile on his face. He looked at the panicking security guards and receptionists at the entrance of Treasure Pavilion and felt an indescribable pleasure in his heart.


    "Weren''t youckeys really capable? Why change now?!" he cursed in disdain and crossed his arms as he waited for a good show.


    Standing beside Wei Jiaming was an old man in his sixties. This old man was wearing a long gray robe, and a hint of gloominess would cross his face from time to time. He was the butler who was the brains of the operation.


    The butler looked at the reporters behind him, who were holding up cameras, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.


    "Tsk, tsk. The people from Treasure Pavilion are cowards. Don''t tell me you''re still too afraid toe out? Unique Treasure Hall just wants to exchange forging techniques with you guys so that we can learn from each other. It''ll be beneficial for the future development of the chambers ofmerce. Brothers, what do you think?!"


    The middle-aged man in the lead raised his arms high and shouted.


    As his voice fell, the surrounding people who were watching the show immediately voiced their agreement.


    "Brother, you''re right. The rule in Shanglin City states that only those who are capable are worthy!"


    "Only those who are capable are the true leading enterprises. Those who cower are all weaklings!"


    "Isn''t there supposed to be apetition? Why hasn''t it started yet?"


    At that moment, Changxi Street was filled with people who had made their way there to watch the show. As early as four hours ago, news of the friendlypetition between the two chambers ofmerce had circted Shanglin City''s online portal.


    That triggered the residents and merchants who lived nearby to rush over to get a peek.


    They wanted to see how the two chambers ofmerce were going topete.


    How could they miss an event like that?


    Facing the audience''s denouncement, the few security personnel standing outside Treasure Pavilion''s door felt a little nervous. The receptionists in business attire were also panicking, not knowing how to respond.


    Although Treasure Pavilion had hired a few Four-star cksmiths, those cksmiths simply could not stand up for Treasure Pavilion. Everyone was waiting for the store manager to arrive.


    Just as the people of Unique Treasure Hall were about to lose their patience from waiting, Gao Yue rushed to the entrance.


    When he walked out of the door and saw that the entire Changxi Street was surrounded by a crowd of onlookers, fury instantly filled his face.


    The surrounding reporters who had been waiting for a long time quickly clicked away. Some of them even turned on live broadcasts and transmitted the news to the major news tforms.


    ''These guys are simply trying to use the power of public opinion to pressure me! I have no choice but to agree. They''re despicable and shameless!''


    Upon witnessing the scene, he immediately understood the purpose of those people from Unique Treasure Hall. He swept his gaze past the dozen people in front of him like a knife. Soon enough, he noticed the Wei family''s steward standing at the back and the second generation of the wealthy, Wei Jiaming, whom he had chased out this morning!


    "Hehe, Gao Yue, I thought you were too afraid toe out."


    When the middle-aged man in the lead saw Gao Yue, he immediately revealed an excited smile and spoke in a deep voice.


    "Wei Ying! What on Earth are you trying to do?!"


    Gao Yue''s gaze stopped on the middle-aged man. He was sharp enough to notice that there were actually five shining golden stars on the man''s cksmith clothing.

 Chapter 28 Fermentation Of Public Opinion On The Internet

    "Gao Yue, I think you''re mistaken. We just want to have a friendly exchange with you about casting technology. We have no intention of doing such a thing!" Wei Ying said nonchntly and extended his hand.


    "This time, Unique Treasure Hall hase with sincerity. The two sides will only rely on their forging strength to determine the winner. In the future, there will be no fighting in the open or in the dark. After thepetition, the loser will admit that his skills are inferior to that of his opponent. From then on, he will never interfere in the development of the other chamber ofmerce. How about it?!"


    Gao Yue frowned slightly. He looked at the two practitioners behind Wei Ying and nced at the tripods that had been set up by the reporters and media people. He could not help but feel some anger.


    The people of Unique Treasure Hall were sure that he did not dare to fight in front of the media cameras, hence they were so arrogant.


    However, what made him uneasy was the fact that Wei Ying had actually advanced to be a Five-star cksmith in just two months. If apetition were to actually take ce, he was afraid that the cksmiths hired by Treasure Pavilion would not be a match for him!


    However, Gao Yue had no way out right now. He could only take things one step at a time and agreed readily.


    "Alright! Our Treasure Pavilion has had a grudge against you for a long time. Today, we will use the forging techniquepetition topletely settle our feud. The loser must admit that his skills are inferior to the other party''s, and from then on, he will not object to the other party''s development!"


    Hearing Gao Yue agree to thepetition, the spectators on the street immediately became excited.


    They knew that when the two big chambers ofmercepeted, one of them would be at a disadvantage. Such apetition was rare on normal days. The people tried their best to squeeze in to get closer.


    Although the onlookers were excited, the receptionists and security guards standing around Manager Gao were a little nervous.


    Compared with the people from Unique Treasure Hall who had made ample preparations, Treasure Pavilion had beenpletely caught off guard. Could they really win thepetition like this?


    Moreover, thepetition was obviously partial to Unique Treasure Hall. Those people had only been in the city for less than two years. How could they catch up with the efforts of Treasure Pavilion after so many years just by winning onepetition?


    Therefore, in the eyes of the staff, this was a scheme meticulously nned by the people from Unique Treasure Hall. Once they agreed, it would be difficult for them to jump out again.


    "Tell me, which aspect of forging do you n topete in?"


    Gao Yue held his hands behind his back and asked with a cold expression.


    Wei Ying looked at Manager Gao with a smile. Then, he slowly extended his index finger and said, "Let''s see who can forge better defensive equipment!"


    "What do you think, Manager Gao?"


    Wei Ying paced around slowly and replied with a confident expression.


    Wei Jiaming, who was standing in the periphery, immediately became excited when he heard their conversation. As long as Treasure Pavilion''s store manager agreed, the n would already be 80% sessful. After all, there were media witnesses now. They would not have the chance to go back on their wordter on!


    Gao Yue and Wei Ying stood in front of the door and confronted each other. Gao Yue contemted for a moment. In terms of defensive equipment, Treasure Pavilion had quite a lot of experience and finished specimens. The cksmiths under their banner should also have quite a lot of experience.


    Although Wei Ying was already a Five-star forger, he had just advanced, so his strength had probably not increased by much.


    There were three Four-star cksmiths in Treasure Pavilion. Seeing that both chambers ofmerce were each other''s foil, the equipment Treasure Pavilion forged might not necessarily be inferior to the other party!


    Taking that into consideration, Gao Yue raised his head and looked at Wei Ying. "Since Unique Treasure Hall is determined topete with us, what''s the harm in agreeing to it?! But you have to keep your promise. If you lose, you need to apologize in public and never disturb our precious Treasure Pavilion ever again! "


    "Hahaha..."<sub> </sub>


    Once he heard Gao Yue actually agree, Wei Ying''s face immediately revealed a savage smile.


    "Don''t worry, Manager Gao. If we lose, we will definitely do it."


    "However, you''re a little too simple-minded. With the trash that you support, how could they possibly be my match?!"


    Wei Ying''s lips curled up into a cold smile right after. He looked at the three cksmiths standing behind Gao Yue as if he was looking at ants.


    In his opinion, those below four stars were considered low-level in the field of forging. They could only use low-level methods to forge equipment. To him, they would only enter the threshold after they reached five stars and possessed a divine sense.


    Therefore, he did not attach any importance to those cksmiths. Even if he had to forge equipment on the spot, he was confident that he could easily defeat them. Not to mention, the Wei family had already prepared defensive equipment long ago. It was equipment forged by officials, and that was enough to crush this group of ants!


    The moment the three cksmiths standing behind Gao Yue heard Wei Ying''s words, their expressions became unsightly.


    "You''re going too far! Don''t think that just because you''re a Five-star cksmith, you''re so amazing. The three of us working together will easily beat you!"


    "That''s right. In terms of actualbat experience, we''re not inferior to you!"


    "How sad. A person like you bing a cksmith is simply a tragedy in the foundry world!"


    The three Treasure Pavilion cksmiths all rolled their sleeves up their arms as they cursed angrily. Their imposing manner did not waver in the slightest.


    Seeing this, Gao Yue snorted coldly and said, "Wei, stop trying to be slick. If you have the ability, use it. Whether it''s equipment forging or quantity of materials, Treasure Pavilion''s is definitely good at both!"


    On the streets, Gao Yue''s voice reverberated throughout the crowd. Many residents cheered for Treasure Pavilion''s extraordinary character.


    Even the audience watching the live broadcast on the news tforms started to praise it one after another.


    <o>,m "As a veteran chamber ofmerce in Shanglin City, you can''t measure Treasure Pavilion''s forging talents with such aparison."</o>


    "That''s right. The development of this chamber ofmerce cannot be changed by a mere Five-star cksmith. Treasure Pavilion''s reputation has been tested by numerous merchants and customers. If anyone dares to defame it, I will be the first to disagree."


    "It''s said that the Wei family is behind Unique Treasure Hall. Their power can''t be underestimated either. I wonder if Treasure Pavilion will be able to survive this crisis."


    On the website, many people showed more support for one side. Most people did not have a good impression of Unique Treasure Hall. After all, such an aggressive demeanor tended to put people off.


    After the media people saw the increasing number ofments on their video, the broadcast became even more exciting.


    They even increased the number of camera angles, and they were bound to broadcast the entire match.


    Right then, the camera captured how the Wei family''s steward looked at Gao Yue with a face full of ridicule. In his opinion, Treasure Pavilion was eventually going to lose the match. Now, they only needed to watch ande back a weekter to take the victory. They would then spread the news andpletely destroy Treasure Pavilion.


    Wei Jiaming had a yful expression on his face too, especially when he saw the unyielding looks on the faces of the few cksmiths. He found it rather funny.

 Chapter 29 Soft Golden Silk Armor

    He wanted to see how the cksmiths hired by Treasure Pavilion would react when they saw the Soft Golden Silk Armor and see if they would still be as arrogant as before.


    As those thoughts yed in his mind, Wei Jiaming shouted, "Uncle Wei, stop ying around and show us your stuff. Let these country bumpkins take a good look at Unique Treasure Pavilion''stest work!"


    As soon as Wei Jiaming said that, many people turned their attention to him.


    The spectators of the show were shocked. They immediately widened their eyes and looked toward the center with a serious face, afraid that they would miss something.


    "Latest work? Have the people from Unique Treasure Hall already brought their defensive equipment for thepetition?"


    "This is going to be a good show to watch. I knew those old foxes wouldn''t issue a challenge without any preparation!"


    "Don''t push me. You''re stepping on my foot!"


    The surrounding audience exploded like a high-pressure pot. They began to specte what kind of equipment the people of Unique Treasure Hall would present.


    At Treasure Pavilion''s entrance, Wei Ying, who was urged by his nephew, immediately made a move.


    On cue, the two cultivators standing behind Wei Ying took out an agarwood box and carefully handed it to him.


    Wei Ying carried the wooden box to Gao Yue and said with a cold smile, "Today, I, Wei Ying, will give you ants an experience. Watch carefully!"


    As soon as he finished speaking, he opened the lid of the wooden box.


    In an instant, a burst of green light came out of the wooden box. The dazzling light almost blinded the eyes of the people around them!


    "Oh, my god! It''s actually a Premium-grade piece of equipment!"


    At that moment, two gray-haired appraisers who had been standing silently by the side immediately cried out in shock. Their faces expressed their disbelief.


    Meanwhile, the surrounding onlookers erupted in exmations. They had never seen a piece of equipment above Rare-grade in their lives. When they saw a piece of Premium-Grade equipment with their own eyes, they were so excited that their bodies began to tremble.


    On the other hand, Gao Yue, who was closest to Wei Ying, appeared livid. His eyes were wide open as he stared at the item in the box in disbelief. His entire body froze on the spot.


    It was not that Gao Yue had never seen Premium-grade equipment before. In fact, when he had been an intern in Treasure Pavilion''s headquarters. He had even seen Epic-grade weapons at auctions.


    What shocked him was the fact that Unique Treasure Hall managed to produce equipment of this grade.


    After all, Unique Treasure Hall had only been in Shanglin City for less than two years, and it had yet to properly establish itself.


    It was impossible for its people to forge Premium-grade equipment alone. Previously, Gao Yue had thought that even if the other party was prepared, they would only bring out Rare-grade equipment.


    He never thought that they would be beyond prepared for something like this. He was instantly caught off guard.


    Although Treasure Pavilion also had Premium-grade equipment, the equipment that came from the headquarters was bound. The headquarters would cast a binding spell on the equipment once customers bought them.


    That had been Treasure Pavilion''s rule for more than ten years, and it was also the default rule of the major chambers ofmerce.


    Hence, Gao Yue had not been worried about the people of Unique Treasure Hall taking out Premium-grade equipment to cheat.


    Regardless of whether it was stored or auctioned, cksmiths would bind their equipment to protect their own interests.


    Therefore, both sides could only bring forth their own forged equipment forpetition. In short, it was impossible to ask for external help or hire an expert to forge equipment to cheat.<sub> </sub>


    That also meant the high-grade equipment in front of him had truly been forged by the people from Unique Treasure Hall. Unbound equipment would only appear if the cksmith himself intentionally made it so!


    Once he internalized all those facts, Gao Yue''s expression became unsightly.


    As Treasure Pavilion''s manager, he was clear about the standards and abilities of the cksmiths under his banner.


    No matter how much the three of them worked together, it would be impossible for them to forge Premium-grade equipment. That was an indisputable fact!


    Looking at the expressions and states of the three cksmiths, even the outsiders who were watching the show understood how they felt.


    Wei Ying held the Soft Golden Silk Armor in his hand. As he observed Gao Yue''s expression, the smile on his face became wider.


    "What now? Didn''t you say that you wouldn''t lose to us earlier? Do you still think that you have a chance of winning? Hahaha!"


    At that moment, gloom permeated the hearts of the three cksmiths. The confidence they had before was now in the gutter.


    The three of them looked at the soft armor, which was emitting green light, in Wei Ying''s hand. They felt a burning pain on their faces.


    It was impossible for them to forge equipment of this level. Even if they were given another year or ten years, they would not be able to forge it, let alone now.


    Right then, they could only whisper to Manager Gao, "Store manager, you can''t do this. That guy has forged Premium-grade equipment. Winning this with our ability alone is out of the question!"


    "Yeah, I didn''t expect those people from Unique Treasure Hall to go to this extent. I''m afraid we can''t do anything now."


    At that point, not only were three cksmiths giving up, but even the appraiser beside them could not help but say, "This soft armor is made of gold threads. The energy inside is dense and has reached a high tier of Premium grade. I''m afraid that not many in the entire Shanglin City can forge something like that..."


    Hearing the appraiser''s old voice, Gao Yue''s eyes unwittingly twitch for a moment.


    He was a little regretful. He had underestimated Unique Treasure Hall''s determination to eliminate them. However, it was already toote to say that now.


    The other party had brought out Premium-grade equipment. In the entire Treasure Pavilion, there was probably no one who could forge equipment that was stronger than this, unless the headquarters'' cksmiths coulde and help... Otherwise, there was no chance of him beating the other party in terms of forging.


    Gao Yue racked his brains, but he could not think of any other way to win thispetition. Faced with more than ten cameras, he frowned, feeling troubled.


    Just as he felt that victory was out of his grasp, one person suddenly appeared in his mind.


    It was Mr. Wu, who had refined the Interspatial Ring!


    He felt that in such a situation, only the special consultant, Mr. Wu, could defeat their opponent.


    After all, with thetter''s talent, he could even forge equipment that was as powerful as an Interspatial Ring. Even so, Premium-grade equipment should still be a challenge for him!


    Thinking of him, Gao Yue suddenly raised his head and immediately took out his phone, preparing to call Mr. Wu toe and put out the fire.


    When the cksmiths of Unique Treasure Hall noticed that those from Treasure Pavilion seemed to be nk, they immediatelyughed and said, "Why don''t the cksmiths in Treasure Pavilion have any reaction now? Weren''t they shouting fiercely earlier? Why are they pretending to be dead now?"


    "Tsk, tsk, they''re really two-faced. Is there no one capable in Treasure Pavilion? Just a piece of Soft Golden Silk Armor has scared all of you until you''ve be mute!"


    The ten or so people from Unique Treasure Hall, who were surrounding the main gate, had looks of disdain on their faces. The leader, Wei Ying, was also sneering at Gao Yue.

 Chapter 30 Wu Mo Saves The Day?

    "What? Is Treasure Pavilion nning to admit defeat before thepetition even begins?"


    Seeing how arrogant the people from Unique Treasure Pavilion were, the cksmiths and security guards in Treasure Pavilion clenched their fists tightly. They wished that they could beat this group of people to the ground right now, but the strength that their opponent disyed far surpassed theirs.


    Whether it was forging technique or spirit energy, Treasure Pavilion had been surpassed. It was already an indisputable fact.


    Gao Yue''s face was pale, and his expression was filled with disappointment. He could only ce his hopes on Mr. Wu now. He hoped that Wu Mo could save the precious Treasure Pavilion from danger!


    At that moment, Wu Mo, who had just walked out of the academy, felt an itch in his nose.


    "Achoo..."


    He could not help but sneeze, and he immediately stopped in his tracks.


    "The difference in temperature between day and night these two days has been quite big. Have I caught a cold?"


    Touching his nose, Wu Mo muttered to himself.


    He had left the academy to make a trip to Treasure Pavilion. He wanted to take on another job. He wanted to pay off his external debt first, and then earn the rest of the payment for the materials.


    However, after he walked a dozen meters, he saw a few people running off into the distance together.


    "Let''s go! There''s a good show to watch on Changxi Street!"


    "I heard that the chamber ofmerce near the academy, Treasure Pavilion, is going topete with Unique Treasure Hall in forging techniques. It''ll be toote by the time we get there!"


    "Yeah, I also heard that Unique Treasure Hall is bringing out Premium-grade equipment to win thepetition. Let''s go and broaden our horizons!"


    The few of them quickly passed by Wu Mo, and the sounds of their discussion drifted into Wu Mo''s ears.


    Wu Mo frowned slightly. He was a little surprised too.


    Was Treasure Pavilion not the most famous chamber ofmerce in Shanglin City? Why would they have amercialpetition with someone?


    He did not quite understand, but he immediately quickened his pace. He wanted to see what was going on.


    Ultimately, he would have to rely on Treasure Pavilion to buy materials in the future. Besides, he was also its special consultant, so he had to pay attention to the matter.


    A few minutester, Wu Mo arrived at Changxi Street. As soon as he turned into the street, he was shocked by the huge crowd there.


    ? He could see that a lot of people were gathered around Treasure Pavilion to watch a show, and they almost blocked the main gate.


    One could say that tens of thousands of people were on the scene.


    If Wu Mo had not heard about it in advance, he would have thought that some big star had made an appearance.


    Just as he was in a daze, the cell phone in his pocket rang. He took it out and saw that the caller ID showed it was Manager Gao, whom he was thinking about earlier!


    "It looks like something has happened. I have to hurry over."


    Seeing this, Wu Mo immediately understood that Treasure Pavilion must have encountered a problem. Moreover, it was so troublesome that even Gao Yue could not solve it. They had to call him to ask for help.


    However, because the noise outside was too loud, Wu Mo did not pick up his phone. Instead, he directly squeezed through the crowd.


    Half a minuteter, he passed through the crowd of onlookers and arrived at the center of the incident.


    Wu Mo saw several broadcasting vehicles and many reporters carrying cameras around. He could not help but feel puzzled.


    It was likely that this Unique Treasure Hall had note with good intentions. If it was just an ordinary friendlypetition, they would not have made such a big scene.<sub> </sub>


    At that moment, he saw dozens of people gathered at Treasure Pavilion''s entrance. Moreover, nearly ten of them were cksmiths. The atmosphere between the two sides was tense. It was apparent that they did not intend to be friendly.


    Among the crowd of people from Unique Treasure Hall, Wu Mo also saw Wei Jiaming, who had an arrogant look on his face, as well as the leader of the group, who had five stars embroidered on his chest.


    ''A Five-star cksmith? There''s actually such a strong person in Unique Treasure Hall!'' Wu Mo subconsciously said in his heart.


    Then, he immediately crawled out of the crowd and walked toward Gao Yue.


    Gao Yue was currently as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. In the face of Unique Treasure Hall''s provocation, he could only suppress the anger in his heart.


    However, this could not go on. After all, with more than ten cameras pointing at him, his every move would represent Treasure Pavilion''s face and reputation.


    If he made a move to avoid the fight, it would probably damage his chamber ofmerce''s reputation. Unfortunately, the other party had already brought out Premium-grade equipment, and his precious Treasure Pavilion could not defeat them.


    Even his only hope, the call to Mr. Wu, had been rejected. At this point, Gao Yue''s heart was about to turn cold.


    Just as he was feeling dejected, he saw a young man in a gray robe walking quickly toward him out of the corner of his eye.


    Gao Yue subconsciously turned his head to look. When he saw the person, the nervousness and anxiety in his heart immediately turned into joy and excitement!


    "Mr. Wu, you''re finally here!"


    Gao Yue hurried toward Wu Mo, cupping his hands with an excited expression.


    When the surrounding spectators and people of Unique Treasure Hall saw Manager Wu''s sudden attitude change, they instantly turned their attention to Wu Mo.


    For a moment, the spectators in the periphery were puzzled. This person did not look outstanding. He was just a slightly younger Four-star cksmith. Why was Manager Wu so respectful toward him?


    Most of the people in Treasure Pavilion were not familiar with Wu Mo. Right then, they began to guess the young man''s identity.


    "It''s him!" Wei Jiaming, who was standing behind the crowd, shouted angrily.


    He pointed in Wu Mo''s direction as his expression surged with killing intent. It looked like he could not suppress the anger in his heart. He wanted to ask the two cultivators behind Uncle Wei to make a move right away!


    "Young Master, don''t be anxious. Our n is already in motion. That person''s death is only a matter of time. Please wait a little longer," the butler with gray hair said calmly as he stood beside him.


    Wei Jiaming pursed his lips. He had no choice but to control his rage and stare at Wu Mo.


    As far as everyone''s eyes could see, Wu Mo seemed to be looking around.


    "What exactly happened to Manager Gao?"


    His voice was unusually calm, and he was not disturbed by the scene.


    "Mr. Wu, the guy whom Treasure Pavilion cklisted this morning is someone from Unique Treasure Hall. To exact revenge, Unique Treasure Hall gathered a group of people and even invited the media to force us into a forgingpetition. I didn''t know about them in depth, so I agreed to it.


    "In the end, it turned out that the guy named Wei Ying had actually forged Premium-grade equipment ahead of time, and he''s using it topete with us. Sadly, none of the cksmiths in our Treasure Pavilion have the same ability. I''ve run out of options..."


    Gao Yue briefly exined the matter to Wu Mo, looking extremely ashamed.


    After Wu Mo listened to him, he understood the whole story. He turned his head to look at Wei Ying and narrowed his eyes slightly. He found it difficult to figure out that guy''s true strength.


    "Hmph! Treasure Pavilion really has no one left. They''re cing the safety of their chamber ofmerce on a little kid. This is simply hrious!"


    Wei Ying''s lips curled into a sneer and he stretched his hand out to point at Wu Mo.


    "Kid, I advise you to reconsider your own ability. You''re not qualified to stand up for Treasure Pavilion!"

 Chapter 31 A Big Gamble

    As soon as Wei Ying said that, the Unique Treasure Hall cksmiths behind him echoed his sentiment.


    "That''s right, that''s right. I think Treasure Pavilion is truly going to be finished. They actually sent such a person. It''s a fool''s dream."


    "I think they''re probably nning to admit defeat directly. They''re just looking for someone to take the me. It''s not like Gao Yue isn''t capable of such a thing."


    The group from Unique Treasure Hall had a mocking smile on their faces as they discussed the situation without any scruples.


    They did not care about Wu Mo at all.


    They just felt that there would not be any suspense in thispetition. The kid whom Treasure Pavilion pushed forth was at most an ordinary Four-star cksmith. It was impossible for him to forge equipment that was stronger than the Soft Golden Silk Armor.


    Wu Mo''s expression did not change at all even though he saw all their mocking gazes. He slowly walked toward Manager Gao.


    "I don''t care what kind of motives you have and what you want topete with us for. I''ll tell you that this one-sidedpetition is over. I don''t have time to spar with you now," he said indifferently.


    "Such a meaninglesspetition doesn''t benefit me at all!"


    Wu Mo''s gazended on the middle-aged man, Wei Ying, and he looked into his eyes with an unbiased expression.


    He did not care about the fine equipment in the other party''s hands at all.


    Although Wu Mo appeared calm, once he spoke, the surrounding people instantly lost theirposure.


    Note that in order to smoothly take down Treasure Pavilion, Unique Treasure Hall had been scheming for a long time.


    Moreover, they had also spent quite a bit of money to hire these media outlets to build up their momentum. How could Treasure Pavilion just refuse topete and put an end to it?


    They were currently like an arrow on a bow, and they had no choice but to take action!


    If they could not deal with their opponent through this event, it was likely that in the future, they would have to spend more resources to trample Treasure Pavilion down!


    Therefore, after they heard Wu Mo''s words, the cksmiths on Unique Treasure Hall''s side berated him angrily.


    "What a joke! Who are you? What right do you have to stop thepetition?"


    "Manager Gao and our chamber ofmerce have signed an agreement. Thispetition will be carried out as intended. What right do you have to say that there''s no need topete?!"


    "A guy who''s only good with words. If you''re skilled, you''ll be able to prove it with your hands."


    Faced with the harsh words of the Unique Treasure Hall''s cksmith, Wu Mo only sneered.


    He had no desire to get involved in these meaninglessmercialpetitions, especially now that he was short of funds and time.


    If he had the time to participate in these meaninglesspetitions, he might as well spend more time on forging.


    However, others simply could not understand Wu Mo''s way of thinking.


    Those who were watching the show felt that Wu Mo was a person with no guts. Some even thought that Wu Mo was just putting on a front, pretending to be calm.


    "He''s a piece of trash, and he doesn''t even dare to ept thepetition. If the butler insists on not making a move, wouldn''t our n fail?"


    Right then, Wei Jiaming, who was standing not far away, clenched his fists and cursed with an angry expression.


    If it were not for the fact that Treasure Pavilion was part of his n, which required him to be patient, he would have torn Wu Mo into pieces at that moment.


    When he heard that Wu Mo did not intend topete, he could not help but feel a little flustered. He immediately sought help from the manager beside him.<sub> </sub>


    "There''s no rush. Even if that Wu guy doesn''t agree, Treasure Pavilion will definitely be embarrassed today. At worst, once this matter is over, Uncle Wei''s cultivator friends can get rid of him without anyone noticing!" the white-haired steward held his hands behind his back and said with a carefree expression.


    The steward''s main goal was to take down Treasure Pavilion. In his eyes, Wu Mo was at most a talented young man. Getting rid of him would be as easy as flipping his hand.


    Wei Jiaming could only clench his teeth and fall silent once again in response.


    That instant, Wei Ying, who was leading the crowd, raised his hand and slowly brought it down. Only then did the discussion among the cksmiths from Unique Treasure Hall gradually stop.


    Wei Ying narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the cksmith before him with an inexplicable expression. Soon, a cold smile surfaced on his face.


    "Little brother, you sure talk big. I just don''t know if your strength matches up."


    "If you think that thispetition is boring, why don''t we raise the stakes?!"


    Hearing the Five-star cksmith''s words, Wu Mo''s expression immediately changed. He slowly took a step forward, and his interest was piqued.


    "Raise the stakes? I''m somewhat interested in that. May I know what you intend to bet on?" Wu Mo crossed his arms and asked curiously.


    Manager Gao Yue was standing beside him, and he felt somewhat worried.


    The other party had already revealed their trump card. It was a Premium-grade defensive equipment. Although Wu Mo was stronger than his peers, his opponent was a Five-star cksmith over forty years old. As for whether Mr. Wu could win, Gao Yue was still uncertain.


    While his thoughts were running wild, Wei Ying opened his mouth to speak.


    "Since we''re betting, I think we might as well increase the stakes a little. The one who loses thepetition has to get the hell out of Shanglin City. They have to give up their hold on the market and hand over any hidden materials to the winning chamber ofmerce. What do you think, little friend?"


    Wei Ying emphasized each word with a greedy smile.


    His words stunned the surrounding people.


    Even the more worldly journalists were taken aback.


    You should know that although the two chambers ofmerce had not monopolized the market, their respective market value was at least £¤50,000,000.


    With more than £¤50,000,000 in market shares and materials, it was a bet they had never heard of.


    As such, the shocking bet stunned everyone present.


    Treasure Pavilion''s staff immediately panicked and wanted to speak up to dissuade them. However, under such circumstances, they had almost no right to speak. Only Manager Wu and the two appraisers were qualified to make a decision.


    At this time, Manager Gao''s heartbeat also sped up. When he realized that the entire chamber ofmerce''s survival depended on the special consultant, Mr. Wu, his entire body trembled nervously.


    The two appraisers with grizzled white beards had horrified expressions too.


    Among everyone, only Wu Mo appeared to be interested.


    His thoughts were running wild right then. He began to think about how beneficial it would be to him if he won thepetition.


    If he won the battle, he would inevitably reveal his true strength. Hence, there would be no need for all of this if the benefits were too little.


    While Unique Treasure Hall was not asrge as Treasure Pavilion, just by looking at how they were able to create such a huge coalition in a short period of time and have a Five-star cksmith oversee it, Wu Mo could guess Unique Treasure Hall''s approximate value.


    Even though it was just a rough estimate, Wu Mo had already analyzed the pros and cons, and his heart immediately grew excited.

 Chapter 32 Competition, One-Week Agreement!

    In his opinion, the most important part of the bet was to hand over all the materials in the chamber ofmerce.


    If he could get all of Unique Treasure Hall''s materials, he would be able to quickly solve his debt problem. He might even be able to make up for all the missing materials for Mjolnir. It was simply killing two birds with one stone!


    After he realized that, Wu Mo immediately turned to Gao Yue and said in a low voice, "Manager Gao, I can help you win thispetition, but I want 80% of the materials in the end. How about it?"


    Seeing Wu Mo''s confident look, the panic in Gao Yue''s heart instantly disappeared...


    He took a deep breath and seriously said, "Mr. Wu, I believe that you can defeat those people from Unique Treasure Hall."


    "When the timees, not to mention 80%, we will give you all the materials without holding anything back. On top of that, you can choose any of the precious materials in Treasure Pavilion. After all, you would have helped us solve such a big problem, and we wouldn''t be able to thank you enough!"


    Gao Yue did not know why he trusted Wu Mo so much. It could have been a subconscious judgment, or it could have been influenced by Wu Mo''s confidence. In any case, he had high hopes that Wu Mo could win thepetition.


    Gao Yue was not a short-sighted person, so he had no intention of fighting over the materials.


    After all, if they actually won, Unique Treasure Hall''s market shares would be enough to bring them huge profits.


    In the past, he had climbed up step by step from being a delivery man to being the store manager in Treasure Pavilion. He had relied on his business acumen and sincerity in treating others!


    Previously, he had already asked Wu Mo to be Treasure Pavilion''s special consultant. Therefore, he believed that this time, Wu Mo had the ability to forge defensive equipment that was stronger than the Soft Golden Silk Armor!


    When Manager Gao Yue said that, the staff members of Treasure Pavilion were shocked beyond words.


    Yu Qing, who had received Wu Mo previously, was especially shocked, so much so that she covered her mouth. It was hard for her to imagine that it was only Mr. Wu''s third visit to Treasure Pavilion. He had already gained the store manager''s trust.


    That young man would surely be somebody in the future!


    Their surroundings gradually quieted down. After Wu Mo received a clear answer, he immediately agreed.


    This bet was now effective with many media outlets acting as witnesses.


    p, p, p!


    At that moment, Wei Ying pped his hands with a face full of admiration. At the same time, he praised Wu Mo, "Young friend, you''re quick to speak. You are truly a dragon among men. I admire your courage very much. I hope that you''ll be able to produce good results in a week.


    "However, I still have to exin the rules of thepetition to you. This time, we will bepeting with defensive equipment. In order to ensure the effectiveness of the defensive equipment, the cksmiths will have to wear the defensive equipment that they have forged. Additionally, they will have to endure abat test initiated by the other party."


    Wei Ying had an inexplicable smile on his face. As he leisurely strolled forward, he said, "The rules of thepetition are that whoever falls first will lose. Do you understand everything so far?"


    As soon as he finished speaking, the several cksmiths behind him all smiled to add insult to injury. After all, they forged the Soft Golden Silk Armor, and no one knew its specific defensive effects better than them.


    Since they understood the powerful effects of the Soft Golden Silk Armor, they felt that this guy would be aplete mess by the end.


    At that time, he might even die in the arena, and they would take Treasure Pavilion. There was simply no such thing as good luck in the world, and everything fell into ce more smoothly than they had imagined.


    Even Wei Jiaming had a sinister smile on his face.


    At this time, the surrounding spectators were starting to look forward to the battle between the tworge chambers ofmerce. It would certainly be exciting a weekter.


    They would be able to clearly see how powerful the effects of Premium-grade equipment could be after a week!


    "Don''t worry. I won''t let you down."<sub> </sub>


    Wu Mo lightly brushed his fingers over his silver ring, and the smile on his face grew more radiant.


    Right then, the silver ring in his possession already contained a weapon that could break through the Soft Golden Silk Armor''s defense. It was theponent that he had just refined as the hammer''s handle, the Armor-piercing Short Staff.


    However, now was not the time to show off. He was nning to wait for a week before he defeated his opponent in front of everyone!


    That way, he would be able to plunder Unique Treasure Hall''s materials!


    "Alright, we''ll meet here in a week''s time. I hope you can still be as stubborn when the timees!"


    Wei Ying snorted coldly, then waved his hand and left with the rest of Unique Treasure Hall''s people.


    Wei Jiaming and his butler entered a silver car and promptly departed, leaving behind the reluctant onlookers.


    Wu Mo looked up at the disappearing figures from Unique Treasure Hall, and his heart was filled with anticipation.


    He was looking forward to the scene of him collecting their materials. He wanted to see what precious items they had.


    "Mr. Wu, thank you so much for this."


    At that moment, Manager Gao''s voice rang out behind him. Wu Mo immediately pushed his thoughts away and helped the bowing manager up.


    "Manager Gao, there''s no need to be too formal with me. I''ve received plenty of benefits from Treasure Pavilion too. We''re in a coborative rtionship, aren''t we?" Wu Mo patted Gao Yue''s arm and said with a smile.


    "You''re right, Mr. Wu."


    Gao Yue immediately straightened his back, but when he thought about how Mr. Wu would need the right materials to forge equipment, he said, "Mr. Wu, if you need anything now, you can tell me straight away. We''ll definitely do our best to prepare the materials for you."


    In Gao Yue''s eyes, if he wanted to be victorious in thispetition, he would need at least Premium-grade defensive equipment, as well as a Rare-grade weapon. Only then would they win the battle.


    All of these equipment needed to be forged. Although Mr. Wu was strong, he was just a student of the Divine Arms Academy. He would not have that much money to buy materials.


    Hearing Gao Yue''s words, Wu Mo instantly fell silent and started thinking.


    It did not take long for an idea to form in his mind.


    Before Wu Mo arrived on the blue, he had been a full-on gamer. Moreover, he had read online novels for more than five years, so his imagination had expanded.


    The need for defensive equipment was clear in his present battle, so he had a general direction for forging.


    He quickly told Manager Gao about several materials and requested that Treasure Pavilion distribute the rest after he was done forging.


    Just like that, he took a few rare materials from Treasure Pavilion and walked toward the academy.


    Once they saw Wu Mo leave, the people in Treasure Pavilion went to the manager''s side and began to ask him questions.


    "Gao Yue, do you really have confidence in this young man?"


    Even one of the appraisers, an old man, could not help but walk to the manager''s side and question him with a worried expression.

 Chapter 33 News Dissemination, Public Opinion On Wu Mo.

    "Sigh..."


    Manager Gao sighed and said with a smile, "Elder Song, do you think I have any other choice at this point? Rather than letting others do whatever they want, it''s better to have faith and risk it all!"


    "In addition, you were also there when Mr. Wu traded the Interspatial Ring. You know Mr. Wu''s strength better than I do, right? Who canpete with the other cksmiths hired by our Treasure Pavilion?"


    Listening to Manager Gao''s line of questioning, Elder Songughed helplessly and bitterly.


    "The young man is indeed more skilled than anyone here, but he''s too young. I''m afraid he''s a step behind!"


    Manager Gao did not say anything else. He just looked in the door''s direction, his gaze somewhat absent-minded.


    Elsewhere, Wu Mo returned to his single dormitory.


    He cooked a meal to fill his stomach first, then took out his phone and started searching for information.


    When he discovered that there was an unusualck of entertainment items such as games and movies on the Inte on the blue, he finally understood why the discussions in ss were always about casting and gossip.


    In this parallel world, there was no such thing as a MOBA game, let alone equipment with different attributes.


    Due to the limited creativity of the cksmiths, most of their equipment''s characteristics and styles were highly simr.


    At this moment, Wu Mo understood. When he presented the Interspatial Ring in Treasure Pavilion, those people were shocked. It turned out that there had never been equipment simr to an Interspatial Ring in this world.


    As he thought about it, Wu Mo could not help but reveal an excited smile.


    Right then, he had a wish in his heart: he would replicate most of the famous equipment on Earth in this world!


    If he could achieve his goal one day, he would probably not be far from reaching the apex of the world.


    He allowed himself to think freely for a while. Ten minutester, Wu Mo gently stroked the ring and ced the rare materials he had just obtained from Treasure Pavilion on the table.


    There was Green Leopard skin, a Dust-purifying Stone, and Qilin Grass. Each of these materials was worth more than £¤500,000. An ordinary cksmith would not be able to afford them.


    In the entire Divine Arms Academy, only a very small number of disciples from aristocratic families could afford these materials.


    Wu Mo looked at the materials on the coffee table that were giving off different colors of light, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up into a confident smile.


    He slowly closed his eyes and subconsciously uttered the following words in his heart, ''Enter the Divine-grade Forging Space!"


    In the next moment, his senses were cut off, and when he opened his eyes, there was only chaos before him.


    "Let''s begin. Today, I have to at least draw the equipment''s design blueprint."


    Looking at the workbench in front of him, which was filled with materials, Wu Mo''s entire body was filled with energy. He picked up thest set of forging paper and pen and begin drawing without any hesitation.


    As Wu Mo sshed ink on the workbench, he thought about the specific style of his equipment.


    His opponent was using a Premium-grade Soft Golden Silk Armor in thepetition. Although its defense was good, the short staff that he had forged earlier could directly counter it. After all, its piercing effect could negate the defense of other weapons, including Premium-grade ones.


    So now, he only needed to forge something that could defend against multiple types of damage.


    Those guys from Unique Treasure Hall might deploy some sinister moves, and they had even specified that the cksmith should wear some type of equipment topete on stage.


    It was obvious that they were digging a hole for him to jump into.


    Therefore, Wu Mo had to make aplete n. The arena was no joke, and danger could appear at any time. He did not want to risk his life.


    ''It looks like I need to forge a piece of equipment that can protect me from all kinds of attacks. Those guys could do anything,'' Wu Mo muttered in his heart.<sub> </sub>


    His hand froze for a moment as he held the forging pen.


    Following his train of thought, Wu Mo recalled many types of equipment that had appeared in many Earth games.


    However, those equipment were either too strong and impossible to forge at the moment, or their effects did not quite match.


    Just like that, Wu Mo became immersed in his thoughts until the image of a silver cloak shed through his mind.


    When he considered the effects of the cloak, Wu Mo''s eyes lit up, and he immediately had an answer in his heart.


    He started writing smoothly right away and began to look forward to what would happen in a week''s time.


    As long as he could sessfully refine it, defeating those fellows from Unique Treasure Hall would be as easy as flipping his hand.


    With that, Wu Mo worked hard to draw the equipment''s design because it was his first time forging Premium-grade defensive equipment.


    He failed more than ten times before he managed toplete drawing the silver cloak''s design.


    As he gazed at the cloak''s shining appearance on the casting paper, Wu Mo''s confidence increased once more!


    After he obtained the system, he had only spent a few days improving his ability to the point where he could forge Premium-grade equipment. He could feel that if he participated in the assessment now, his strength would definitely surpass the four-star level.


    Although a lot of it was thanks to the system, Wu Mo''s training was also a big reason for his increase in strength.


    "I can start casting the rough shape tomorrow."


    Wu Mo kept the design and promptly left the Forging Space.


    While less than ten minutes had passed in the real world,Wu Mo''s spirit was already exhausted.


    He did not feel as drowsy as before, but he still could notst any longer in the space.


    Such exhaustion might bepletely eliminated after his strength reached five stars.


    Once he got to this point, Wu Mo felt his eyelids grow heavier and heavier before he fell asleep.


    A wave of even breathing sounds followed, and the entire single dormitory gradually quietened down.


    Only the scattered chirps of birds could be heard from outside the window.


    However, at this time, the entire Divine Arms Academy was not calm. News of the two major chambers ofmerce having apetition at noon had been spreading through various groups.


    There were also many media reports and recorded footage online.


    The ones who enjoyed it the most were those in Wu Mo''s ss.


    Their enthusiasm for the discussion had already reached 99% in ten minutes before they read the news.


    "This is big news. Our ssmate, Wu Mo, is actually on Shanglin City''s official website. He''s about to be popr!"


    "I can''t figure it out. Why are the two stores holding apetition? They''re simply causing our academy trouble. Treasure Pavilion is already crowded enough as it is. With such publicity, it''ll be even worse."


    "Right now, it''s still not certain which between the two chambers ofmerce will win. Besides, have you seen the video? Our ssmate, Wu Mo, even added a bet. The loser will have to withdraw from the market!"


    "That guy''s too bold. What''s going on with Treasure Pavilion? They actually trust a person with a debt of £¤1,000,000. This is too much."


    "I think it''s all just hype. Those guys wouldn''t make a premature decision without benefits. How could they do such a thing?!"

 Chapter 34 Battle Of The Night, Forging Of Premium-Grade Equipment!

    "I don''t know. In any case, thepetition will be held in a week''s time. I wonder what kind of equipment Wu Mo will forge."


    "I suspect that the equipment he forges won''t be able to pierce through the Soft Golden Silk Armor. It''s a Premium-grade armor. There shouldn''t be more than three students in our academy who can forge Premium-grade equipment!"


    The discussion among the crowd became increasingly intense, to the point that even Zhou Yan was rmed. She had to use hermunication software during her break time to stop inappropriate remarks in the group chat.


    Seeing that they were not allowed to speak, the students in the learning group started discussing in their private chat groups.


    For a moment, Wu Mo''s name reverberated throughout the entire Divine Arms Academy. However, the student''s evaluation of Wu Mo was mostly negative.


    After all, Wu Mo''s reputation had not been the greatest. Now that he was facing Unique Treasure Hall, how could Wu Mo possibly be a match for a Five-star cksmith with his skills?


    Furthermore, the other party had already made the Soft Golden Silk Armor. Yet, Wu Mo still dared to agree to this bet in front of the media cameras.


    In their view, Wu Mo was overestimating himself and bringing shame to the Divine Arms Academy!


    All kinds of public opinions and rumors were fermenting in the academy, while the main character was sleeping soundly.


    Wu Moy sprawled on the bed in his single dormitory bedroom, and only the sound of his breathing could be heard.


    At that moment, the screen of his phone, which he had casually tossed aside, suddenly lit up.


    A message from Jiang Mengyao appeared.


    "Wu Mo, how did you get involved in the conflict between the two chambers ofmerce? News of thepetition between them are already on the portal, and many people are talking about you online.


    "What were you thinking? Can you tell me anything?"


    Right then, Jiang Mengyao was standing by the window. She was holding her phone with both hands and staring at the screen, hoping to get a reply from Wu Mo.


    However, she did not get a reply after a long time. She could not help but feel a little disappointed.


    She slowly raised her head and looked at the male dormitory building across the field, where Wu Mo was.


    Looking at the tightly shut door and the students walking in and out of the corridor, Jiang Mengyao''s expression was filled with worry.


    "Wu Mo... You''ve changed so much in the past few days. You''re so mysterious that it''s hard to understand!"


    Jiang Mengyao nodded slightly and sighed in a voice that only she could hear.


    A few birds flew across the sky just as time flew by between her fingers. In the blink of an eye, it was already ten in the evening.


    That was when a young man in a blue delivery uniform walked up to the third floor carrying a stic box.


    He stopped at the entrance of Room 307 in the Divine Arms Academy''s male dormitory.


    Then, he put down the stic box and knocked on the door a few times.


    At present, the corridor lights were the only source of illumination in the entire dormitory building. It was dark outside, but the stars hung around the moon, making the dark sky seem less monotonous.


    About half a minuteter, Room 307''s door was opened, and Wu Mo walked out in some sportswear.


    "Mr. cksmith, these are the materials you ordered over the phone from Treasure Pavilion. Please sign the delivery form," the delivery man, whose skin was slightly yellowish, said respectfully.


    Wu Mo opened the box to take a look. After finding that the materials wereplete, he signed the form and moved the items inside.<sub> </sub>


    "Treasure Pavilion found the materials quite fast. It took them less than half a day."


    Wu Mo sat on the couch and looked at the many materials on the coffee table. A satisfied smile soon formed on his face.


    He had woken up at five o''clock in the evening. After eating dinner, he called Manager Gao and told him the materials he needed.


    After all, when he epted the challenge, Manager Gao had said that as long as he could win, he could choose any of the precious materials in Treasure Pavilion.


    It would be a pity if he did not make use of that.


    In the afternoon, Wu Mo had listed seven or eight materials worth more than £¤2,000,000. He assumed that Treasure Pavilion would not be able to collect them in a short time.


    But now, it seemed that Treasure Pavilion had quite a rich collection because some of the materials listed by Wu Mo were very rare. Even the system''s points store clearly stated that he could only make an exchange for them once a month.


    Despite that, Treasure Pavilion still sessfully collected all of them. That surprised Wu Mo, and his view and perception of Treasure Pavilion rose to a higher level.


    Hey on the couch and stretched. Looking at the white ceiling, Wu Mo made a decision in his heart.


    Preparations for the rough casting and strengthening materials were basically settled. He would execute the rough casting for his equipment tonight.


    Once his ns were set, Wu Mo sat up straight and began to stabilize his mind. Soon, his consciousness blurred, and all the sounds around him disappeared in the next second.


    Wu Mo opened his eyes in the Forging Space and cleaned the workbench in front of him. He was ready to start working on the preliminary cast.


    First, he spread out the design drawings for the cloak, which he hadpleted in the morning, on the workbench. Then, he moved all the materials that he had requested from Treasure Pavilion to the huge furnace.


    He could observe from the mouth of the furnace that the mes within were rising and gradually turning dark red. Obviously, the temperature had reached its peak.


    Wu Mo did not hesitate and threw all the materials into the furnace.


    The Dust-purifying Stone and Qilin Grass were instantly swallowed by the mes. Under the intense high temperature, the pale green Qilin Grass instantly turned into a pool of liquid. The Dust-purifying Stone quickly copsed as well, and the energy produced became more concentrated.


    Next, Wu Mo focused his attention on the condensing array. He threw all the materials he needed into the furnace again. At the same time, he manipted the copsing Dust-purifying Stone and the pale green medicinal liquid to mix them together. Then, he raised the temperature of the furnace again as the medicinal liquid seeped into the Dust-purifying Stone, which was the size of a fingernail.


    The surface of the Dust-purifying Stone was like boiling water while the me tempered it. Many pale green bubbles appeared on its surface. Not long after, it quietened down and finally turned into a translucent green jade.


    Wu Mo was quick with his eyes and hands. After the jade stone was formed, he immediately lowered the temperature of the me in the furnace.


    After a period of low temperature stabilization, a light green oval jade that was as smooth as ss fell from the furnace''s mouth.


    Wu Mo put on a pair of heat-insting gloves and picked up the jade.


    Looking at the perfect product that had been refined for the first time, Wu Mo''s heart was filled with slight excitement.


    The jade was what needed to embed in the cloakter. Wu Mo refined it in advance to give the jade enough time to cool down and allow the energy inside topletely stabilize.


    "Next, it''s time to make the cloak!"


    Wu Mo ced the jade stone on the workbench and picked up the Green Leopard skin on the side.


    The so-called Green Leopard skin was actually an external item that cultivators obtained after killing the leopard intruders.

 Chapter 35 Tier 2 Magic Array

    A Green Leopard was more than 3 meters long, and its shoulder height was more than 1.3 meters. It was difficult for cultivators of the same level to kill it in a one-on-one fight. Usually, it would take three or four cultivators to kill the invading beast without getting injured.


    ? Plus, it was only one of the beasts with the lowest strength among the ten thousand races. On the battlefield outside the city, such invading beasts could be seen everywhere!


    At that moment, Wu Mo was holding the fur of such a beast.


    The surface of the Green Leopard''s fur hadplex patterns simr to money. It looked oily and slippery, and one could see that it had been preserved quite well.


    After examining it for a moment, Wu Mo immediatelyid the fur on the workbench. Then, he took out a small knife and began to cut the excess fabric.


    As a fast beast, the Green Leopard still retained a lot of energy in its fur.


    Wu Mo had taken a fancy to the hidden energy. Once he made the cloak, he nned to insert the Dust-Purifying stone into it and add the magic array that was being refined in the furnace. Then, he would be able to create a satisfactory piece of work.


    With a detailed n in mind, Wu Mo expertly went about his tasks.


    In addition, the workbench had the ability to rewind at any time. He only made four wrong attempts before making the cloak intact.


    The cloak before him was dark green in color, with veins extending to every inch of its fur. The design was simr to that of an ancient cloak.


    There was a circle of fine green fur on the cor of the cloak, which was what Wu Mo had collected from the fur.


    At the bottom of the cor, there were two knotted ribbons that could be fixed together so that the cloak did not slip off during battle.


    The smooth and soft cloak was long enough to reach the knees.


    However, Wu Mo had only forged a semi-finished product at this point. Next, he would need to embed the refined Dust-purifying Stone and cast a magic array.


    After that, the cloak would be consideredplete.


    Wu Mo tilted his head to take a look. Not far away, the furnace was still burning with raging mes. Through the mouth, he could see that the materials jumping in the mes were beginning to show signs of merging.


    They were the raw materials used to cast a magic array on the cloak.


    At this time, the refining process in the furnace was nearing its end. Seeing this, Wu Mo immediately took the Dust-purifying Stone that had been ced at the side and prepared to mount it on the cloak.


    As he was making the cloak earlier, he had purposely added an iy hole. After all, if he only relied on the Green Leopard fur, it would be impossible to raise the quality of the cloak to Premium grade.


    Moreover, the equipment made from the Green Leopard fur only had the effect of increasing speed. Physical defense and special effects could only be achieved by magic arrays and Dust-purifying Stones.


    Wu Mo gently pinched the Dust-purifying Stone with his index finger and thumb before he ced it in the cloak''s iy hole.


    There were four contacts in the iy hole, which could continuously divert the energy from the Dust-purifying Stone to every inch of the cloak. Therefore, when Wu Mo pressed the Dust-purifying Stone into it, the iy hole was activated.


    A soft green light began to spread out from the chest of the cloak. In just one breath, the light prated every inch of the cloak, causing the surface of the cloak to emit green light, isting all the dust outside.


    Of course, the Dust-purifying Stone that Wu Mo had refined with great difficulty possessed more than these effects. However, these effects would only take shape in the end, and things were still uncertain.


    The next thing that needed to be done was to apply the magic array on the cloak and stabilize the energy within before it was consideredplete!


    Wu Mo immediately approached the furnace. Right then, he saw that the calcined materials inside had already melted into a fist-sized ball of silver liquid. It was floating in the mes, as therewere still impurities being expelled from the surface of the liquid.<sub> </sub>


    However, the longer it was calcined, the smaller the volume of the liquid became. It was likely that it was still not ready to be refined until it was pure.


    Wu Mo knew that the current temperature in the furnace had reached its peak. It was impossible to purify itpletely anyway, so he quickly lowered the temperature.


    He pushed the control board lightly, and the next moment, the ball of silver liquid flowed into the groove of the crucible.


    The silver liquid was made of five different materials, and the energy contained within was not little.


    Wu Mo wore a pair of heat-insting gloves and brought the small crucible to the workbench, ready to start drawing the magic array.


    He picked up the somewhat old casting pen and dipped it lightly into the silver liquid.


    As thetter had left a high-temperature environment, it had transformed into a liquid. On top of that, it had a gorgeous color, dyeing the tip of the casting pen silvery-white.


    Wu Mo''s gazended on the cloth of his cloak, and he began to draw a magic array on it.


    This time, he was going to cast a type of defensive magic array, which could provide it with a decent defensive ability. It was called the Silver Scale Magic Array, and it was a rtively difficult Tier 2 magic array.


    Although Wu Mo had been cramming in his forging knowledgetely, he still did not understand many of the various branches of forging.


    He had not grasped all of the ordinary Tier 1 arrays, and Tier 2 arrays were even more difficult.


    Just bing a Four-star cksmith was already very difficult. Even so, at least sixty students in the academy met the standards.


    Be that as it may, less than 20 students could draw a Tier 2 array. From this, one could see how difficult the formation was.


    Hence, Wu Mo prepared himself thoroughly. He nned to go back hundreds of times and polish his knowledge of the array.


    After all, a good cksmith needed to be extremely proficient in every step. If he only knew a part of it, he would just be an array master or a rough cksmith.


    Wu Mo stood straight beside the workbench. Then, he held a casting brush dipped in the silver liquid and wrote on the green cloak, outlining an extremelyplicated array.


    The silver traces formed aplex pattern on the cloak, one stroke after another. The surface of the cloak also emanated ayer of silver light. It seemed obscure and difficult to understand.


    Every time Wu Mo drew a stroke, he felt a portion of the mental energy in his mind being taken away. By the time more than half of the pattern waspleted, the dizziness he felt had be more serious.


    In the end, due to Wu Mo''sck of concentration, the next stroke was nted, and the entire array instantly disappeared. The imbnce of energy caused a few holes to be burned into the cloak.


    ''Backtrack!'' Wu Mo thought to himself before the me extinguished.


    In the next second, an undamaged cloak appeared before him. The silver fluid in the crucible next to it did not decrease in the slightest.


    Even Wu Mo''s lost mental energy had recovered.


    "It seems that it''s a little too much for the current me to carve out a Tier 2 magic array!"


    Looking at the faint glow of the casting brush in his hand, Wu Mo felt a little frustrated.


    When he was drawing the array earlier, he could clearly feel that his mental energy was insufficient. It was not because of his technique, but because of hisck of hardware.

 Chapter 36 Spirit Deficiency

    The spirit energy in everyone''s mind was extremely thin before they reached the level of a Five-star cksmith. That was also one of the difficulties to ovee when attempting a Tier 2 magic array.


    Nevertheless, Wu Mo was not the type of person who could not ept defeat.


    He had faced at least a thousand failures in a week within the Forging Space.


    To him, failure was asmon as eating and drinking.


    After heposed himself, Wu Mo tried again. This time, he adjusted the uracy of each stroke to a higher level. At the same time, he began to use all kinds of methods to save his mental energy in order to achieve a higherpletion rate.


    He wandered between the process of failure and backtracking for a long time.


    As a result, there was only one thought left in his mind: sess.


    Gradually, Wu Mo discovered that his spiritual power seemed to increase a little. Now, he couldplete 85% of his progress while he was awake.


    There were even a few times when he saw the Silver Scale Magic Array begin to take form.


    That greatly encouraged his spirit. Although he was still a long way from sess, these changes were enough tofort him and allow him to continue to improve!


    His surroundings within the Divine-grade Forging Space were in a state of chaos. Only Wu Mo stood alone in his original spot.


    His expression alternated between joy and contemtion. As his heart underwent the repeated trials, it became steadier and more tenacious.


    There was no sound and no smell in the space; it was enough to make one go crazy.


    However, Wu Mo was intoxicated. His entire body and mind had already sunk into silence.


    He was only focused on the cloak, which was covered in silver edges, as well as the ray of white light from the backtrack function!


    In the end, Wu Mo reached a state where he was even oblivious to himself. He did not notice the flow of time in the Forging Space at all.


    He cked out at a certain point, not realizing what had happened.


    ...


    When Wu Mo woke up again, it was already six in the morning.


    He opened his eyes and looked at the bedroom''s ceiling in a daze.


    He did not regain his senses for a long time. He felt as if he had been away from this world for a long time.


    He climbed out of bed with some difficulty, and his temples felt a little swollen.


    "What''s wrong with me?"


    Upon looking down at his hand, Wu Mo was slightly baffled. He clearly remembered that he had not exited the Forging Space at all. Why was he suddenly back in the real world?


    While he was puzzled, a synthetic electronic voice echoed in his mind.


    [The host is currently in a state of energy deficiency. Eight hours ago, due to exhaustion of mental energy, the host automatically exited the Forging Space. Current mental energy is at 35%.]


    Hearing the system''s description, Wu Mo seemed to recall something.


    Yesterday, he had stayed in the Forging Space for too long. Coupled with his repeated drawing of the magic array, it had caused a problem with his mental energy.


    It was likely that these reasons were the cause of his memory loss.


    "Isn''t that a little forced?"


    Wu Mo got out of bed and entered the bathroom. He washed his face and looked at his paleplexion in the mirror.


    "System, can I check my current condition?" he could not help but say with a bitter smile.


    Wu Mo touched his chin and felt that something was wrong with hisplexion. He was a little worried, so he immediately read what the interface had pulled up.


    [The interface has been summoned. The host''s information is as follows.<sub> </sub>


    [Name: Wu Mo.


    [Age: 19


    [Skills: Level 2 Drawing, Level 2 Furnace Control, Level 1 Rough Forging, Level 1 Array Drawing.


    [Vitality Attributes: Strength 5, Spirit Energy 8, Agility 4.


    [Overall Evaluation: An outstanding Four-star cksmith.


    [Equipment: Premium Armor-piercing Short Staff, Rare Interspatial Ring, iplete cloak.


    [Current Status: Lack of spirit (decrease in concentration)]


    Looking at the light blue panel floating in front of him, Wu Mo curled his lips and could not stop himself fromining.


    "How objective. It seems that I should train my physical strength. I have to make some arrangements to go on a run every morning."


    Wu Mo was hungry when he arrived in the kitchen. He casually cooked a bowl of frozen wontons. Not long after he finished eating, the rm clock in his bedroom rang.


    After Wu Mo packed his things, he slipped his phone into his pocket, put on his shoes, and went downstairs, prepared to go to school.


    It was Monday, and he had sses taught by Zhou Yan. Wu Mo did not want to lose points when he was about to graduate, so he did not n to skip sses again.


    Although he had been pressed for time recently, he needed to prepare for the graduation assessment and forge defensive equipment to participate in thepetition with Unique Treasure Hall.


    However, as long as the Divine-grade Forging Space still existed, he was not worried that there would be any problems.


    Even though he was currently unable to produce a Tier 2 magic array, the hundred or so retraces from yesterday had allowed him to understand a lot of things.


    Wu Mo was confident that he would definitely be able to finish the cloak tonight!


    As he walked along the path that was lined with trees, he heard the rustling sound of the breeze brushing past the leaves. Wu Mo took a deep breath and quickened his pace.


    At that moment, there were a few students walking together not far behind him. They were staring at Wu Mo''s back and pointing at him as if they were discussing something.


    The same situation happened many times along that path, but Wu Mo did not pay attention to it. He went straight to the ss and sat in his seat.


    He did not know how much public opinion had been stirred up by his actions at Treasure Pavilion yesterday, and how famous he was now.


    He continued to sit in his ce with an indifferent expression, not noticing that the people around him were giving him strange looks.


    Perhaps Wu Mo had gotten used to the way those people looked at him.


    By this time, more than half of the ss had arrived, including Wei Jiaming, the culprit who had started the dispute between the chambers ofmerce. Jiang Mengyao was also there, sitting behind Wu Mo.


    After a day of criticizing him, the students in the ss were no longer surprised.


    Even so, there were always one or two students who liked to attract attention, deliberately stirring up trouble.


    Two of the students were such characters. When they saw Wu Mo attend ss, it did not take long for them to deliberately start a loud discussion to embarrass Wu Mo in front of everyone in the ss.


    Wu Mo had stolen their limelight, and the two of them did not want to let it go just like that.


    "Huh? Why do I sense a horrendous smell in ss? Do you guys smell it?"


    "Do you still have to ask? A piece of rat feces has ruined everything in our ss. Now, the school''s forum is saying that our group has a ''crouching dragon and phoenix'' chick. It haspletely embarrassed the academy."


    "His name is even on Shanglin City''s portal. He''s amazing."


    Right then, the weird discussions of the twins immediately echoed in the quiet ssroom.


    That made many people turn their attention to Wu Mo. After all, such a big incident had happened yesterday, so it was impossible for anyone who was connected to the Inte to not know about it.


    The students looked at Wu Mo with disdain and hatred, while some just felt pity.

 Chapter 37 Jiang Mengyao’s Concern

    They could already predict that once Wu Mo lost to Unique Treasure Hall in front of the media in a week''s time, the negative news would be even more overwhelming.


    It was likely that the reputation of the entire Divine Arms Academy would be affected, so many people in the academy hated him.


    It was normal for him to be ostracized by the people in the ss.


    At that moment, the two boys sitting at the back saw Wu Mo lower his head without a word, so they became greedier, and their words gradually grew more unpleasant.


    "Thest two, keep your voices down. Professor Zhou Yan will be here soon."


    In order to maintain the atmosphere of the ss, the ss monitor had no choice but to stand up and speak out to stop them, which caused the various voices to gradually die down.


    Wei Jiaming, who was sitting not too far away, saw Wu Mo''s dejected expression, and the corners of his mouth immediately curled up into a cold smile.


    ''Degenerate, tremble. Now, this young master will let you waste a few more days. When Sundayes, I will definitely cripple you in front of everyone!


    ''When that timees, the pain you will suffer will be more than ten times more than what you are suffering now!''


    Wei Jiaming''s thoughts were active, and the sinister smile on his face became even more intense. Right now, he couldn''t wait to wait until Sunday topletely release the anger in his heart.


    Feeling the killing intent behind him, Wu Mo slowly opened his eyes. He didn''t even need to look back to know who had no ill intent toward him.


    Wu Mo didn''t want to pay attention to that guy who didn''t know when to retreat or advance. Everything would be revealed on Sunday.


    At this moment, Wu Mo felt a light tap on his shoulder. He turned around and found Jiang Mengyao looking at him with a worried face.


    "Uh... What''s wrong?"


    Wu Mo was a little surprised.


    "Wu Mo, why are you participating in the battle between the two chambers ofmerce? What were you thinking?"


    Jiang Mengyao frowned slightly and asked in a concerned tone.


    From her point of view, Wu Mo''s condition was clearly much worse than before after not seeing her for a day. It was very likely that he didn''t rest well because of the pressure.


    Thinking about it, it made sense. Wu Mo''s enemy was arge-scale chamber ofmerce in Shanglin City. Moreover, there was a Five-star cksmith overseeing it. No matter what, Wu Mo was still a student who had yet to enter the academy. How could he be a match for a chamber ofmerce?


    Thinking about the things that she would have to face after she lost thepetition, Jiang Mengyao was very sympathetic.


    She was worried that Wu Mo would not be able to bear the pressure and cause problems for his body. She was even more worried that he would do something irrational.


    Especially when she sent Wu mo several messages yesterday, but he didn''t reply. That feeling of worrysted the whole night.


    Jiang Mengyao sincerely hoped that Wu mo could adjust his condition and get a good result in the graduationpetition. That way, he would be worthy of the few years he spent in the academy.


    Sensing that she was feeling a little down, Jiang Mengyao slowly moved her gaze away. She pursed her lips slightly, but in her heart, she still hoped that Wu Mo could tell her that everything was fine.


    "Thank you for your concern, Mengyao." Wu Mo revealed a gentle smile. "Actually, I''m already prepared, and I''m confident that I''ll be able to defeat the people from Unique Treasure Hall. Don''t worry."


    He gestured a big thumbs up with his hand. Wu Mo turned his head back and continued to close his eyes to rest. He was still in a state of mental exhaustion, and he needed to recover as soon as possible so that he couldplete the forging of the cloak.


    Jiang Mengyao opened her mouth slightly. She was surprised to find that although Wu Mo did not look too good, his condition was the same as usual. He was full of confidence.<sub> </sub>


    This made her emotions a littleplicated. She had no idea what to say for a moment.


    The breeze went past the window and blew away Jiang Mengyao''s hair that was hanging on her shoulders. She turned her head to look at the blue sky outside the window. The warm sunlight shone on her pretty face, and her beautiful eyes were shining with a clear light.


    ...


    At five o''clock in the evening, Wu Mo walked out of the ssroom with a furnace erected around him. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and walked briskly towards the male dormitory building.


    Wu Mo did not skip sses for the entire day. Instead, he went through the entire process quite honestly, including the theory ss and the roughbat ss. Although he had already mastered the knowledge taught by the professors to perfection, in order to leave a good impression in the eyes of the teachers for thest half month, Wu Mo made do with it.


    Not long after he walked out of the ssroom, Wu Mo heard a hurried shout from behind him.


    Wu Mo turned his head and saw Jiang Mengyao running toward him hurriedly.


    Jiang Mengyao was wearing a light green lotus sleeve dress today. When she ran, her hair swayed gently, and her whole body was full of youthful vitality.


    Wu Mo waited for a few seconds, then said to Jiang Mengyao who ran in front of him in surprise, "You... is there anything else you want to tell me?"


    On the field, surrounded by trees and shade, students in twos and threes walked past quickly.


    asionally, some people would cast curious gazes, but most chose to ignore them. Most of them were discussing the content of today''s ss, and they brushed past each other.


    Jiang Mengyao took a deep breath andined, "Didn''t I send you a message to wait for me after ss?"


    Wu Mo was stunned for a moment. He took out his phone and looked at the seven or eight unread messages on it. "Sorry, I didn''t look at my phone today," he said apologetically.


    "Seriously... forget it, let''s go."


    Jiang Mengyao rolled her eyes at him. She put her hands behind her back and slowly walked forward.


    Wu Mo had no choice but to follow her. The two walked side by side in silence.


    He did not know why Mengyao was looking for him, and he did not dare to speak rashly, afraid that he would anger her again.


    Jiang Mengyao walked in front in a huff, but Wu Mo didn''t speak for a long time. She muttered to herself, "What a blockhead."Then she turned around and looked at Wu Mo, who was silent.


    "Have you really thought about what defensive equipment you want to forge to deal with Unique Treasure Hall''s Soft Golden Silk Armor?"


    Wu Mo was slightly startled when he heard Jiang Mengyao''s words, then, he nodded and replied, "I''ve thought about it. Moreover, I''m confident that I can defeat that group of people with the forged equipment. Treasure Pavilion sent the materials over yesterday. I''ll be able to forge the equipment within these two days."


    Jiang Mengyao nodded and didn''t say anything else.


    The two of them walked on the cobblestone road one after the other. Because of the light rain yesterday, the soil on both sides was still a little muddy, and there was a hint of the smell of soil in the air. The breeze blew gently, making people feel refreshed.


    It wasn''t until they were at the fork in the road of the male and female dormitory building that Wu Mo spoke first.


    "Mengyao, thank you for being so concerned about me all this time. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can always ask me for help."


    Jiang Mengyao''s footsteps stopped. She turned around with a sly smile on her face.


    "Really? Then we have a deal. The next time I ask you for help, you can''t go back on your word."

 Chapter 38 The Formation Of A Great Equipment

    Seeing the serious look on Jiang Mengyao''s face, Wu Mo nodded and said with a determined expression, "Don''t worry. As long as you don''t go against your principles, I''ll definitely help you with whatever you can do."


    "Alright, it''s settled then. I''ll leave first and see you tomorrow."


    The smile on Jiang Mengyao''s face became much brighter. After she said that, she waved her hand and quickly walked toward the female dormitory building.


    The corners of Wu Mo''s mouth curled up slightly. He nced in Jiang Mengyao''s direction and walked into the male dormitory.


    After he took out his key, Wu Mo pushed the door open and returned to his room.


    He took off his coat and hung it on the clothes rack before entering the kitchen.


    First, he took out some vegetables and meat from his Interspatial Ring. Then, Wu Mo took out the chopping board and began to prepare dinner for the day.


    Ten minutester, he brought two tes of dishes to the coffee table and filled a bowl full of rice for himself. Then, he sat down on the couch.


    Today''s dinner was tomato eggs and braised meat. Although it was only a simple version of the family version, the taste was still very good.


    Along with the popr ice-cold carbonated drink in Shanglin City, this meal was the most sumptuous meal that Wu Mo had eaten since he came to the parallel world.


    He picked up the remote control that was ced at the side and turned on the television. Immediately, the scene of the news being broadcast appeared on the screen.


    The different cultures of the other world. As the entire human race was facing the threat of the invasion of tens of thousands of races, all kinds of entertainment cultures were extremely barren. The games and all kinds of sports in his previous life no longer existed. Even the live broadcast section could only discuss the situation and the content of life.


    "Just 200 years of difference, and the blue has changed into such a big difference from Earth. It''s really a joke of the times," Wu Mo sighed and said to himself after gulping down arge mouthful of carbonated drinks.


    He was now a little curious about how these cities had maintained their stability. Clearly, outside the cities, the invasion of ten thousand races had never stopped. The battles between the invaders and cultivators had resulted in many deaths and injuries every day, however, the cities were as peaceful as ever. This was indeed somewhat inconceivable.


    After sighing for a while, Wu Mo stood up from the couch.


    He cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, then returned to his bedroom.


    Just now, he had only wanted to rx. After all, people weren''t like bows and arrows, so they couldn''t be tense all the time. If he deliberately controlled himself, it would instead be a loss.


    After seven or eight hours during the day, the energy in his mind had already recovered a lot. Just now, he had eaten and drunk enough to rest for a while, and now, his energy had basically recovered to a sufficient level.


    Wu Mo was well-versed in the principle of the slow flow of water. After working hard for a short period of time, his body was ultimately damaged. It was not as efficient asbining work and rest.


    Wu Mo sat on the bed, took out his phone, and ced it on the bedside table. Then, he turned on the recording mode. In fact, he had had an idea a long time ago. He wanted to see if his main body would lose consciousness and lie down after entering the Divine-grade ForgingSpace, or if would hepletely disappear on the spot.


    After all, he had never entered the Forging Space in front of others before. He needed to figure this out.


    Wu Mo adjusted the angle of the phone and slowly closed his eyes. His thoughts slowly sank at some point, and all the feelings in his body disappeared.


    Opening his eyes slowly, Wu Mo came to the workbench.


    At this moment, there was a cloak covered in silver patterns on the workbench. The casting pen was thrown to the side, and it was obvious that the magic array was about to bepleted.


    Seeing this scene, Wu Mo knew that he should have been forced out of the Forging Space yesterday when he finished the array. He had used up all his mental energy.


    At this moment, it had been more than ten hours since hest left the Forging Space. However, the silver liquid in the crucible did not seem to have dried up at all. It was no different from the state that it had just been refined.<sub> </sub>


    Even the silver liquid on the casting pen was still wet.


    Upon seeing this strange scene, Wu Mo seemed to have understood something.


    An idea appeared in his heart, and then it went out of control.


    The Divine-grade Forging Space that this system had bestowed upon him was very likely that only after Wu Mo entered the space would time slowly pass in the Forging Space. And once Wu Mo left, everything would remain the same as when he had left, there would be no changes.


    Only then could the current situation be exined.


    After understanding all of this, Wu Mo immediately picked up the casting pen and said in a calm tone, "Retrace the current progress!"


    At the next moment, the workbench waspletely enveloped by a white light. Following the dissipation of the white light, the cloak that was spread out on the workbench returned to its original color, and the additional silver patterns on it also disappeared.


    Seeing that everything was in ce, Wu Mo immediately picked up the casting pen and began to draw the magic array once again.


    After failing more than a hundred times yesterday, Wu Mo no longer felt any sluggishness when he was drawing. He appeared to be iparably smooth. In less than ten minutes, he had already drawn the draft of the Tier 2 Silver Scale Magic Array.


    The mental energy in his mind had already been used up by more than half. However,pared to the sorry state he had been in yesterday, he now appeared to be much more rxed.


    Wu Mo could feel that his mental energy was growing bit by bit during the process of drawing the retrace, and his skill in drawing the magic array had also improved significantly.


    Although he was still unable to draw the magic arraypletely in one go, he was getting closer and closer to sess.


    It wasn''t until the fourteenth failure that Wu Mo suppressed the drowsy feeling in his mind and drew thest stroke of the magic array on his cloak!


    As the tip of the brush fell heavily, countless silver traces suddenly emitted a bright light. All the patterns were formed naturally and became a whole!


    Theplete magic array dyed the entire cloak into a faint silver color. Under the contrast of the obscure andplicated runes, it appeared extremely mysterious.


    Wu Mo felt that the mental energy in his mind was almost sucked dry. His eyes went ck and he almost fell down. Fortunately, he used his hand to support the workbench and finally held on.


    "It was so close... I almost fainted again."


    The world in front of him was spinning. Wu Mo stood up weakly. He raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat off his face and muttered.


    When the dizziness gradually dissipated, Wu Mo began to examine the cloak that he had worked hard toplete for two nights.


    The cloak was silver in color, but its surface was emitting a light green light. The hem of the cloak was surrounded by faintly discernible runes. Under the hood of the cloak was a translucent green gemstone. The overall appearance was natural and wless.


    Wu Mo picked up the cloak and put it on his body.


    He felt the cloak''s fabric be soft, and he could feel a trace of coldness when his fingers touched it.


    Wu Mo put on the cloak for less than five seconds, and he felt his body be lighter. A happy smile appeared on his face, and his heart was filled with a sense of aplishment.


    In just two days, Wu Mo had forged a Premium-grade defensive equipment. Such speed and casting ability were enough for him to look down on most of his peers.

 Chapter 39 Before The Competition

    Although he had relied on the system''s casting space to achieve this, Wu Mo''s own abilities were not to be underestimated.


    If it was another person, it would definitely be difficult for them to reach Wu Mo''s level.


    One should know that the Forging Space was like a small ck room that cut off one''s perception. Unless the user''s heart was extremely tough and could withstand a long period of loneliness, sooner orter, due to the suppression, problems would appear in one''s mind.


    However, it was a good thing that everything was worth it. Now that the cloak had been sessfully cast, and it was even a Premium-grade item that was emitting a green glow, Wu Mo was extremely excited. He could not wait to see the effects of the cloak.


    The system quickly sensed Wu Mo''s thoughts and immediately gave the corresponding data.


    [Cloak attribute analysispleted. The information is as follows.


    [Equipment Type: Armor ss


    [Name: Mercury Cloak


    [Grade: Premium


    [System Score: 43 points


    [Equipment Effects: 1. Silver Scale Magic Array (reduces 85% physical and magic damage).


    [2. Green Leopard''s Power (active use immediately increases the user''s agility by 400% for 3 seconds. Cooldown: 1 hour).


    [3. Purification (active use immediately removes all control and debuffs. Effectsts for 5 seconds. Cooldown: 1 minute). Negative effects include Stun, Levitation, Deceleration, Poison, Burn, and so on.]


    Looking at the data panel that appeared in front of him, Wu Mo''s jaw dropped. He looked at the cloak in front of him with some surprise.


    He did not expect the system rating of this Mercury Cloak to actually surpass the Armor-piercing Short Staff that he had designed previously. It had be the strongest equipment that he had designed since he transmigrated.


    Thinking of this, Wu Mo''s heart immediately became excited. He gently waved his right hand and immediately kept the cloak in his Interspatial Ring.


    If Wu Mo had not refined the Mercury Cloak, he would have had an 80% chance of defeating Unique Treasure Hall. Now, it was 100%!


    As long as he had the Mercury Cloak in hand, Wu Mo was not worried that the members of Unique Treasure Hall would do something sinister.


    Defeating those guys was a piece of cake.


    After all, he had two Premium-grade equipment, and the cloak had two active effects. Not only could it increase his speed instantly, but it was also immune to most negative effects.


    The additional Silver Scale Magic Array could also block most physical and magic damage. Coupled with the Armor-piercing Short Staff, it was simply perfect.


    A satisfied smile appeared on Wu Mo''s face. He slowly closed his eyes and exited the Forging Space.


    Even though his current expression was rather tired, the sense of aplishment from producing the Tier 2 magic array and forging equipment still made Wu Mo very excited.


    At this moment, outside the bedroom window, the sky had already be much darker. The warm sunlight hung in the sky, and more than half of it had already disappeared below the horizon.


    <o>,m Wu Moy on the bed and closed his eyes with a satisfied expression.</o>


    For the past two days, he had been doing things rted to casting in his dreams. He was almost obsessed. Now that he had finallypleted the product, he could have a good rest for a while.


    The heavy burden in his heart was relieved. Not long after, Wu Mo fell asleep, and only the sound of breathing could be heard in the bedroom.<sub> </sub>


    The warm sun slowly disappeared, and the sky was gradually covered by darkness.


    Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, a week had passed.


    During this week, Wu Mo quickly adjusted his physical condition to the best.


    During this period of time, he had been training his physical fitness to be able to perform normally on thepetition field.


    Although it was only a few days and there was no change in his appearance, Wu Mo could clearly feel that his endurance had improved a lot.


    In the beginning, he could not evenst three kilometers each time, but after five days of long-distance running training, he was now able to run five kilometers in eighteen minutes.


    Although this level was not too dazzling, at least Wu Mo''s physical strength was about the same as an ordinary person. He was not like before, when he thought his predecessor was forging a Divine artifact behind closed doors at home. In the end, because of his work andck of rest, day and night were reversed, and his physical fitness was extremely poor.


    He almost could not even lift the hammer he used to forge.


    At this time, there was less than an hour left before the scheduled time for thepetition with Unique Treasure Hall.


    After eating breakfast, Wu Mo put on his equipment and went out, preparing to head to Treasure Pavilion to participate in thepetition.


    Many students in the academy knew that today was the day of thepetition. Therefore, when they saw Wu Mo walking out of the school gate, their faces immediately revealed surprised expressions.


    They found it strange that Wu Mo dared to challenge Unique Treasure Hall.


    After all, the opponent was a famous chamber ofmerce in Shanglin City, and Wu Mo was only a student of the Divine Arms Academy. Whether it was his forging ability or his actualbat experience, Wu Mo was no match for Unique Treasure Hall''s chief cksmith.


    Therefore, most of the students did not think highly of Wu Mo at all. They thought that he would only embarrass the Divine Arms Academy if he went out. Hence, those students did not treat him well.


    "Look, look, look! That guy actually dares to fight!"


    "Tsk, tsk. He really is a newborn calf that isn''t afraid of tigers. He thinks that he can deal with the entire chamber omerce. He simply does not have any basic knowledge of his own strength!"


    "He is basically smearing the reputation of our entire Divine Arms Academy. If it was not for Professor Zhou Yan protecting him all the time, he would have been expelled from the academy long ago!"


    Facing everyone''s cold gazes, Wu Mo did not show any emotion. His expression revealed a trace of determination as he walked toward the academy''s entrance without stopping.


    At this moment, at the venue where the two chambers ofmerce were holding thepetition, the entrance of Treasure Pavilion was already surrounded by a crowd of onlookers.


    Thepetition between the two chambers ofmerce this time had attracted the attention of countless people because it had received nearly a week''s worth of publicity from the media.


    Moreover, as both sides were famous chambers ofmerce in Shanglin City, they had also attracted many business owners. The people who came to watch the show basically surrounded the empty space in front of Treasure Pavilion. There were more people than thest time.


    Since thepetition this time was about the production level of defensive equipment, and there was also a requirement for the actualbat practice, the Wei family had already ordered people to set up a one-meter-high arena in front of Treasure Pavilion yesterday.


    This way, not only was it convenient for everyone to watch, but it also eliminated the possibility of cheating. Although there were still more than ten minutes before thepetition, there were already dozens of media outlets waiting at the side, they had already started warming up their cameras.


    The people watching outside could vaguely see a few reporters in TV tower uniforms exining inside.


    There was already a person standing on the stage, waiting. That person was wearing golden armor that was emitting a faint green light. He was holding a long spear in his hand as he stood majestically on the stage. That person was the mastermind of this incident, the eldest son of the Wei family, Wei Jiaming.

 Chapter 40 Conflict In The Arena

    It was precisely due to the enmity between Wei Jiaming and Wu Mo that the two chambers ofmerce directly shed.


    On both sides of the arena stood people from both Treasure Pavilion and Unique Treasure Hall.


    Treasure Pavilion''s manager, Gao Yue, raised his head to look at the arena. Wei Jiaming was showing off his might, and the fist hidden behind his back could not help but clench.


    As a native of Shanglin City, he naturally knew that the Wei family was inextricably linked to Unique Treasure Hall. He also knew that the target of this incident was the rich second generation.


    "Manager Gao, there are less than ten minutes left until the start of the match. Do you want to contact Mr. Wu again?"


    At that moment, the few staff members standing behind him could not sit still any longer and immediately asked in a low voice.


    Gao Yue frowned slightly. He swept a nce at the burning gazes around him. Although he felt a little uneasy, he still believed that Wu Mo would definitely rush over.


    "Don''t panic. Since Mr. Wu said that he would help us settle this, he definitely won''t go back on his word," Gao Yue said in a low voice.


    Then, his gazended on the group of people on the opposite side of the arena.


    More than ten people came from Unique Treasure Hall. Among them were the Five-star cksmith, Wei Ying, and two cultivators whose cultivation bases even he could not see through.


    Behind the few cultivators, an old man with a slightly hunched figure caught his attention.


    He thought to himself, that person should be the steward of the Wei family. The act of contacting the media to create publicity should also have been nned by the other party.


    As this thought shed through his mind, Gao Yue slowly retracted his gaze.


    He originally wanted to wait for a period of time, but at this moment, the other party seemed to be unable to restrain himself.


    <o>,m "Hey, Manager of Treasure Pavilion, is your family''s special consultanting or not? Don''t tell me he escaped before the battle?!"</o>


    Wei Jiaming stabbed his spear into the ground and said with a mocking expression.


    The many cksmiths behind Wei Ying also echoed his sentiment.


    "Sigh, how pitiful. Such a huge chamber ofmerce actually relies on a student to turn the tide. If I were Treasure Pavilion''s manager, I would have tomit suicide to thank the world."


    "You''re right. That kid must be scared. After all, Young Master Wei is very powerful. No one of his age canpare to him. It''s normal for that kid to be scared."


    "The time is almost up. Are we going topete or not? I''m afraid he really is too afraid toe."


    Right then, not only the people from Unique Treasure Hall but even those who were watching the show could not wait any longer and started to protest loudly.


    After all, they were all ordinary people and had their own jobs. If it was not for the fact that watching the show would broaden their horizons, they would not waste their precious working time ande over to watch the people from the two chambers ofmerce fight.


    Seeing the crowd protest, cold sweat broke out on Gao Yue''s forehead.


    His heart was a mess. Just as he was feeling anxious, the crowd on the right automatically opened up a path.


    "Holy sh*t, that kid is really here!"


    "Everyone, get out of the way! Don''t dy thepetition!"


    With the sound of amotion, everyone immediately turned their attention over.


    They saw a youth wearing a light silver cloak and holding an inconspicuous short stick, rushing over.


    The youth was dressed in a simple cksmith''s outfit. He did not wear any armor that could defend him, and he did not even have a decent weapon.<sub> </sub>


    He looked like a cksmith that could be seen everywhere in the city.


    He did not look like he had prepared meticulously at all.


    When the onlookers saw that Wu Mo actually came to ept the challenge dressed in this outfit, they burst intoughter.


    "D*mn, am I seeing things? could he be the one who boasted about signing a bet with Unique Treasure Hall?"


    "Oh, my god, he''s actually dressed like that. He doesn''t look like he''s here to participate in the chamber ofmercepetition. He''s just here to work!"


    "I''m dying ofughter. Could it be that this person called Wu Mo has already decided to give up?"


    The surrounding crowd widened their eyes, but most of them were mocking him mercilessly.


    They thought that Wu Mo was simply there to make a joke.


    The many media outlets standing not far away from the arena were also shocked. They thought that they would be able to capture a soul-stirring scene of thepetition, but now that they saw one of the contestants actually look like that, they were instantly disappointed.


    The people from Treasure Pavilion were standing not too far away and observing. At this point, their hearts could not help but drop.


    How could Wu Mo''s attire withstand the long spear in Wei Jiaming''s hand?


    In a defensive equipmentpetition, one should at least wear a piece of armor, right? However, other than a silver cloak on Wu Mo''s body, there was only a cast uniform stained with dust. There was no defense at all.


    The difference between the two sides was so great that unless Wu Mo was a powerful cultivator, it was impossible for him to win thispetition.


    Thinking of the bet that Wu Mo had made with Wei Ying of the Wei familyst week, the faces of Treasure Pavilion''s staff members turned pale.


    If this situation continued, Wu Mo would not be able tost even one round. By then, the entire Treasure Pavilion would probably be destroyed.


    After three to four years of hard work, it was now going to be someone else''s dowry. They simply could not ept this oue.


    "Manager Gao, what should we do this time? I''m afraid you''ve trusted the wrong person!" afew young receptionists said in despair.


    The few cksmiths hired by Treasure Pavilion also had extremely ugly expressions as they spoke unwillingly.


    "Manager Gao, why don''t you let me go? Even though I don''t have any defensive capabilities and my equipment isn''t stronger than the Soft Golden Silk Armor, I won''t lose so badly."


    "That''s right. Manager Gao, please think twice. That person is tarnishing the reputation of our Treasure Pavilion!"


    At this moment, the few cksmiths could not sit still anymore. They could see the oue just by the equipment on Wu Mo''s body. They could not calmly face such a defeat no matter what.


    Store Manager Gao looked troubled. He began to struggle in his heart, wondering if he had done anything wrong or if he had misjudged Wu Mo.


    However, Gao Yue still believed that Wu Mo was a cksmith with great potential. As long as thetter was given a certain amount of time, the other party would definitely be able to rush out of the sky of connecting city and be a phoenix that roamed the nine heavens.


    However, at first nce, the equipment on Wu Mo''s body did not look like something he could win thepetition with at all.


    Therefore, at this moment, Gao Yue was in a conflicted state. After struggling for a few seconds, he let out a long sigh.


    "Everyone, don''t be impatient. I believe that Wu Mo is definitely not an ordinary person. The reason why he is like this should be that he has his own ns. After all, he is a talented person who can forge an Interspatial Ring. It is impossible for him to bepletely unprepared."


    After he spoke, Gao Yue''s breathing became heavy.


    This was because he knew that with a single thought, he could decide Treasure Pavilion''s survival. If there were any problems in the future, how would he be able to live up to the years of cultivation that the main store had given him?

 Chapter 41 Shocking The Entire Arena

    While Gao Yue''s mind was in a mess, Wu Mo gradually stepped onto the stage.


    His footsteps were slow but extremely firm. He waspletely unaffected by his surroundings.


    Wei Jiaming had a cold smile on his face. He nced at Wu Mo, and the smile on his face immediately turned into a mocking expression.


    "Wu Mo, I gave you a week, and you put on this outfit? I don''t think you have any defensive equipment. When I put a hole in you, the others will probably say that we''re bullying you."


    Wei Jiaming turned the spear in his hand, and the corners of his mouth curled into a disdainful smile.


    As soon as he spoke, the crowd immediately burst intoughter.


    They felt that although the participant representing Unique Treasure Hall was a little arrogant, his words were not without reason.


    There was not a single metal te all over Wu Mo''s body. Was he not going to be full of holes?


    Below the stage, Wei Ying slowly narrowed his eyes. He looked at Wu Mo, whose face was as calm as usual, and slowly shook his head.


    "That''s it? I thought that with your wild personality, you would be someone. It looks like I overestimated you."


    The butler stood at the side with his hands behind his back. A hint of greed shed across his face.


    Based on the current situation, the youth named Wu Mo was no match for Wei Jiaming. After the match ended, Treasure Pavilion would be the Wei family''s possession.


    At that time, the Wei family''s assets would definitely grow. Moreover, with them having the monopoly, they would be able to develop Treasure Pavilion. It would be ten times better than it was now.


    The butler suppressed the thought in his heart and focused his gaze on the arena again.


    He wanted to personally witness Treasure Pavilion''s copse.


    Wu Mo took off his hat in the arena. He grabbed the hem of his cloak and waved it as he seriously said, "Just attack me at random. I have the equipment."


    His words caused Wei Jiaming to burst outughing.


    He pointed at the cloak on Wu Mo''s body and mockingly said, "Isn''t that thing just ayer of cloth? How can it have any defense? The diapers I used when I was little probably had a higher defense than that thing."


    Wu Mo ignored Wei Jiaming''s provocation. He tightened his grip on the short staff and coldly replied, "You''ll find out whether it has any defense or not after you give it a try."


    Their eyes met, and the atmosphere in the arena immediately became tense.


    The surrounding spectators were no longer discussing. Instead, they were focused on the arena, afraid that they would miss anything crucial.


    At that moment, the reporters below the arena quickly fixed their cameras into position as well. Thepetitive atmosphere spread to every corner.


    "Manager Gao, I believe it''s time to announce the start of thepetition?" Wei Ying promptly said in a loud voice as he saw the scene on the stage.


    Gao Yue looked at Wu Mo''s resolute expression on the stage and swallowed his saliva. He thought to himself, ''Mr. Wu, I hope you can win thispetition. Our precious Treasure Pavilion is in your hands now.''


    "Thepetition of defensive equipment shall nowmence!"


    As Gao Yue''s voice fell, a hint of killing intent shed across Wei Jiaming''s face. He immediately raised the 20-pound spear in his hand and charged toward Wu Mo.


    "Wu Mo, the time for fooling around is over. I''m going to cripple you and give you a taste of the consequences of provoking me!"


    Wei Jiaming was before Wu Mo in the blink of an eye. He shook the long spear in his hand and tried to stab his opponent''s chest.<sub> </sub>


    The tip of the spear was made of pure steel, and it instantly touched Wu Mo''s silver cloak.


    At the next moment, everyone could only hear the nging sound of metal colliding. However, the terrifying kic energy in the tip of the spear suddenly ceased. Soon after, Wei Jiaming could only feel a reactionary forceing from it.


    Then, he was pushed several steps back. His right hand was extremely sore and numb. There was also a faint tingling pain in his palm.


    He did not feel as if he had stabbed Wu Mo''s chest. It felt more like he had stabbed a steel te, and he was unable to advance any farther.


    He had not expected the seemingly unremarkable cloak to have such a terrifying defensive ability. Not only could it withstand his full-force attack without sustaining any damage, but it also produced a counter-force, which almost injured his thumb and forefinger.


    While Wei Jiaming was not a qualified cultivator, his physical fitness was considered to be the best among his peers. His own strength was extremely great too, yet when paired with a Rare-grade weapon, he did not cause the slightest damage to Wu Mo.


    One could see from this situation that the cloak Wu Mo was wearing possessed a terrifying defensive ability.


    Right then, Wei Jiaming and many of the surrounding onlookers were iparably shocked.


    They thought that Wu Mo would be injured and drop to the ground, but the result was far beyond their expectations, striking their hearts.


    His cloak seemed gentle, but it could resist a spear made of fine steel. Just the visual contrast was enough to surprise people.


    Seeing that Wu Mo was not injured by Wei Jiaming''s attack, Manager Gao Yue''s finally felt relieved.


    The nervousness on his face disappeared without a trace, and he happily said, "As expected, Mr. Wu has made sufficient preparations!"


    The few cksmiths behind him promptly shut their mouths.


    It had only been a week since the deration of war and the start of thepetition, but Wu Mo managed to forge a cloak that could withstand the attacks of a Rare-grade weapon.


    These cksmiths could notpare to him in terms of skills.


    However, one of them was still not satisfied. "What''s the use of just forging defensive equipment? No matter how strong he is, he can''t beat the Soft Golden Silk Armor. That man has a stick in his hand. How can he be Wei Jiaming''s match?" he said unwillingly.


    He was not being serious, but his words displeased the others. Even Manager Gao stared at him coldly.


    He immediately shut his mouth.


    On the other side of the arena, the people of Unique Treasure Hall also had a slight change in their opinion of Wu Mo.


    A sharp glint shed through the butler''s yellowish eyes.


    The forging ability that Wu Mo disyed was obviously much better than that of the Wei family''s young master. To be able to forge such defensive equipment in just a week, Wu Mo could be considered a rare forging talent.


    ''It''s a pity that you''re against the Wei family. Otherwise, I could introduce you to the old master and let you join Unique Treasure Hall, but now, you must die," the butler stroked his beard and said in his heart.


    Wei Ying stood rooted to the spot, and a trace of an undetectable sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.


    "He''s a pretty good cksmith, but it''s still impossible to defeat my nephew in the Soft Golden Silk Armor."


    As he thought about it, the sun started to feel a little hot, so he nonchntly said, "Nephew, finish the battle quickly. We still have to go to Treasure Pavilion and take stock of the family assets and materialster. We don''t have much time."


    As soon as he said that, Wei Jiaming, who was standing on the stage, responded, "Don''t worry, Uncle Wei. I only need three minutes to deal with this trash."

 Chapter 42 You Can’t Afford To Play With Forbidden Items!

    The people of Treasure Pavilion had looks of dissatisfaction due to Wei Ying''s merciless sarcasm. However, Wu Mo remained unchanged on the stage, as though he waspletely engrossed in the battle.


    "I''m in a hurry, so I won''t y with you. I''ll take your life in three moves!"


    Wei Jiaming''s expression immediately turned cold. He gripped his spear tightly with both hands and charged at Wu Mo. This time, he aimed the tip of his spear at Wu Mo''s head.


    Equipment could only protect so much of a person''s body. The exposed part of the body was still defenseless. Therefore, as long as he aimed for Wu Mo''s head, Wei Jiaming could ignore the cloak''s defensive ability.


    Seeing Wei Jiaming approaching him with the spear, Wu Mo immediately activated the Mercury Cloak''s skill.


    At the next moment, he felt his entire body be light. With a light tap of his foot, he began to fly.


    He moved more than ten meters in just half a second.


    Wei Jiaming prepared to attack, but he missed. The inertia caused him to continue staggering forward a few steps, and he became a bit embarrassed.


    "You b*stard!"


    Wei Jiaming did not expect Wu Mo to have such a trick up his sleeves. For a moment, he was filled with rage, and he rushed over again.


    Wu Mo was toozy to fight a person like him head-on. He waved his cloak and seemed to disappear in a sh. He reappeared more than ten meters away at the next second.


    Wei Jiaming''s attack missed once again. He was anxious to cripple Wu Mo, and in his confusion, his attacks began to lose their rhythm.


    Right then, Wu Mo felt his lightness disappear. He immediately understood that it was probably due to the effect of eleration on his cloak. He was about to run out of time.


    However, he did not panic. After all, he had a week to prepare. He had yed the entire thing out in his heart.


    His Armor-piercing Short Staff also possessed an eleration effect. It was the active skill, Snake Dance.


    The duration of Snake Dance was much longer than that of the cloak''s skill. Although the eleration effect was not as exaggerated, it was enough for him to dodge Wei Jiaming''s clumsy attack.


    At that moment, Wei Jiaming was once again seen rushing over in a disorderly manner.


    Wu Mo quickly activated the short staff''s effect. Then, with a sh, he dodged his opponent''s attack one more time.


    In the eyes of the onlookers, Wu Mo seemed to be waving a red cloth like he was in a bullfight.


    Wei Jiaming was going around in circles, almost losing his sense of direction.


    That was because Wei Jiaming had been sprinting and waving his weapon the entire time, while Wu Mo only needed to expend part of his stamina to dodge each time.


    Therefore, not long after, Wei Jiaming''s head was covered in sweat because he had exhausted his stamina. He was panting like a bull, looking very much like a clown who had been yed.


    Wu Mo, on the other hand, was still wearing a faint smile on his face.


    His condition was the same as before. He did not look tired at all. He was still as agile and elegant as before.


    Seeing the difference in their condition, everyone was stunned.


    They thought that Wu Mo would only hold out for a few minutes at most before he was defeated. Yet, the result was far beyond their expectations.


    The shocked onlookers'' mouths were wide open.


    Even Manager Gao, who had some understanding of Wu Mo''s ability, felt his heart jump.


    He never thought Wu Mo would be able to do so much. Even though Wei Jiaming had Unique Treasure Hall''s support, he did not make any of the equipment on him, and he was aimless. In contrast, Wu Mo was level-headed, and his powerful forging skills equalized the difference between the two of them, even turning defeat into victory.


    Under such circumstances, Wei Jiaming could not hold on for long. Victory was almost within reach for Wu Mo.


    At this point, everyone fell silent as they looked at the previously arrogant Unique Treasure Hall.<sub> </sub>


    Those cksmiths simply could not understand how Wu Mo''s equipment would have an additional eleration effect.


    One should know that equipment with the ability to significantly increase their user''s speed or strength were mostly Premium grade or even Epic grade.


    With that said, Wu Mo''s cloak did not shine at all, and his short staff was brown in color. It lookedpletely ordinary. It was not as gorgeous as other Premium-grade equipment.


    However, they did not know that after Wu Mo forged his equipment, he scattered other materials over it to cover up the shine.


    That way, outsiders could not identify the actual grade of his weapon just by looking at it.


    Not only could he conceal his true strength, but he could alsoply with the rule of not revealing his wealth.


    Wu Mo turned a blind eye to the crowd''s gazes of disbelief.


    He waved the short staff in his hand lightly and spoke to Wei Jiaming, who was gasping for breath, with an inexplicable smile on his face.


    "What''s it going to be? It''s still not toote to admit defeat now."


    A trace of resentment shed across Wei Jiaming''s face when he heard Wu Mo''s provocation.


    His face revealed a malevolent aura, and he suddenly took out a few translucent crystals with his right hand. They flickered with a red light.


    "Die, Wu Mo!" Wei Jiaming roared and immediately threw the crystals in Wu Mo''s direction.


    At this time, everyone saw a parab of red light streaking through the air, and they were momentarily taken aback. There were not only ordinary citizens among the crowd watching the match, but there were also many cultivators and businessmen, who had rushed over after hearing news of thepetition.


    Some of the sharp-eyed onlookers immediately reacted and shouted involuntarily.


    "Heavens, that''s an exploding crystal. This is just an ordinary match. There''s no need to use such an extremely lethal object!"


    "This is no longer a match. This is clearly a murder attempt!"


    Many people who were present recognized the object that was emitting a sinister red light.


    Ordinary people did not know about the explosive crystal, though. Only true cultivators or people with profound knowledge managed to recognize it.


    As the name implied, the explosive crystal contained violent magic power. As long as it hit its target, it would explode and cause magic damage in the area of contact. Furthermore, each crystal could store energy for a long time, making it convenient for transportation.


    Hence, it was often used to deal with invaders.


    As for what type of magic damage the crystal would deal, it depended on what type of energy the cultivator would inject into it.


    However, there were not many explosive crystals in existence, so those who participated in the energy injection were usually Four-star cultivators and above.


    The power of a Four-star cultivator''s strike was enough to break a stone tablet. It would be difficult for an ordinary person to withstand a strike.


    As such, when people saw the contestants actually use exploding crystals, they were aghast.


    Although thepetition would affect the future business development of two chambers ofmerce, it did not warrant killing people to silence them.


    The exploding crystals had been listed as a dangerous controlled tool by the major cities decades ago because of their power.


    Only those with high positions or aristocratic families could have them.


    At that moment, Manager Gao saw the explosive crystal draw a red arc in the air, and his eyelids jumped erratically.


    "Dangerous tools are prohibited in thispetition. The match has to be stopped!" Manager Gao shouted sternly.

 Chapter 43 Fighting With Your Life

    He was so nervous because he thought Wei Jiaming hadmitted a foul. Moreover, using the exploding crystal would put Wu Mo in a dangerous situation.


    Therefore, he could not tolerate it.


    As soon as Gao Yue said that, the butler across the ring, with his hands behind his back, sternly shouted, "Last week, our side already exined the rules clearly!


    "The defensive equipment is supposed to be tested in actualbat, so there will inevitably be situations of offense and defense. The offensive nature of the exploding crystal is naturally included. Unless you admit defeat now, don''t even think about stopping the match!"


    The Wei family''s butler''s tone was imposing and forceful as he enunciated each word.


    That instantly made Manager Gao anxious. He opened his mouth... but he could not speak for a long time.


    At that moment, the exploding crystal followed a parabolic trajectory and smashed onto the stage floor.


    Wu Mo raised his cloak to cover his entire body with haste.


    He did not know what kind of magic damage was hidden within the exploding crystal, but for the sake of his safety, he took a defensive stance at the next second.


    Then, he heard a bang.


    The exploding crystal smashed onto the ground, and the crystal fragments immediately flew in all directions.


    At the same time, a series of sizzling sounds could be heard.


    The spectators saw a wave of milky white smoke suddenly appear on the stage, and the smoke was rapidly wrapping Wu Mo up.


    "It''s a smoke spell. It looks like Unique Treasure Hall has been preparing for a long time."


    "Although it isn''t fatal, it''ll cause those who are affected by the smoke to lose their sight for a short period of time. I''m afraid that the cloaked contestant will no longer be able to dodge urately."


    "D*mn it, he actually made such a move. Although that cloak has incredibly high defense, it''s impossible for him to block the smoke''s erosion."


    The surrounding spectators began to discuss the situation, and they felt sorry for Wu Mo.


    Once he lost his sight, the subsequent oue would be obvious.


    Below the stage, Gao Yue''s gaze was fixed on the milky white smoke. His entire body was tense and straight. His fists were tightly clenched, and he did not even notice that his nails had pierced through his flesh.


    The two old men also seemed dejected. They felt that under such circumstances, Wu Mo would not be able to win.


    Just as everyone thought that the match was about to end and the cksmith named Wu Mo was about to be finished, a white light shot out of the ball of smoke in the arena.


    At the next moment, a strong wind seemed to blow the smoke that enveloped the area away, and it disappeared without a trace.


    The Mercury Cloak''s additional skill, Purification, had been sessfully activated.


    Wu Mo instantly felt the burning pain in his eyes disappear. His vision, which had been blocked by the thick fog, became increasingly clear too.


    "Resorting to unsavory tricks to ensure victory truly is the Wei family''s style."


    The corners of Wu Mo''s mouth curled up a little before he waved his cloak lightly and spoke in a mocking tone.


    Wei Jiaming, who was also in the arena, suddenly widened his eyes.


    He looked at Wu Mo in disbelief. He could not imagine what the other party had done to actually make the fog disappear.


    His father had given him the exploding crystals from the warehouse to ensure that he would have a 100% chance of winning thispetition.


    Wei Jiaming had originally thought that he could use his marksmanship to beat his opponent into a sorry state like a dog. However, not only was he matched in strength, but he was also inferior to his opponent.


    He did not manage to do anything to that trash, Wu Mo, despite his use of the exploding crystals. His eyes turned red, as he could not ept the results.<sub> </sub>


    Even the two Four-star cultivators protecting Wei Ying found the events before them as absurd as Wei Jiaming did.


    If they had been in the arena, they would not have been able to deal with the smoke-filled exploding crystals so easily. Furthermore, Wu Mo was only a cksmith, and he did not have any spirit energy in his body. How could he do such a thing?


    Unless... It was the equipment''s effect that dispelled the smoke, and not his own doing.


    Thinking of this, the two cultivators looked at Wu Mo with greed in their eyes.


    They knew how valuable an equipment with extremely strong defense and the ability to dispel smoke was.


    Moreover, the cloak waspatible with their armor. If it was paired with the Soft Golden Silk Armor, it would probably make them invincible among cultivators of the same level.


    As that urred to them, their hearts became filled with excitement.


    However, the battle on the stage was not over.


    Due to the rage in his heart, Wei Jiaming had lost his ability to think rationally. He did not stop and threw a second exploding crystal out.


    Then, he fiercely kicked his right leg back and jumped high into the air. His spear was like a dragon, piercing through the second crystal that was still in midair.


    "I don''t believe that you can resist the deceleration poison."


    Wei Jiaming gritted his teeth and roared. The moment the crystal was pierced, the bluish-purple mucus inside sprayed out in Wu Mo''s direction.


    Wei Jiaming had carefully selected this crystal in the warehouse, so he was clear about its effects.


    Pharmacists had refined the poison after several times of purification, and it could quickly affect anyone who came into contact with it. Those who were poisoned would fall into a state of slow motion.


    They would move at half their regr speed and agility.


    It was difficult for cultivators or ordinary people to get rid of this poison in a short period of time aftering into contact with it.


    Moreover, there would be facing life-threatening dangers. Therefore, the price of deploying a crystal with the deceleration poison was extremely high. Even therge Wei family had less than ten of these crystals.


    If it were not for this bet, Wei Jiaming would not have willingly used such a good item to deal with a piece of trash like Wu Mo.


    "You''re dead!"


    Seeing that the bluish-purple slime was about to ssh onto Wu Mo, a cruel smile formed on Wei Jiaming''s face.


    Just when he thought that thepetition wasing to an end, a white light shed around Wu Mo.


    The crowd raised their gaze and noticed that the bluish-purple poison had quickly contaminated more than half of the arena.


    However, the ground near Wu Mo had beenpletely purified and cleared.


    He did not sustain the slightest damage from the poison.


    Looking at the ground that had been corroded into a ck mess, the killing intent on Wu Mo''s face grew even stronger.


    He had made a decision in his heart. After thispetition was over, he would find an opportunity to get rid of Wei Jiaming.


    As for the Wei family, if they dared to encroach on his interests in the future, he would definitely not let them off easily.


    Wu Mo''s sharp gaze seemed to pierce Wei Jiaming''s soul, and he immediately snapped out of his shock.


    He looked at the unharmed Wu Mo with an ashen face and made the final decision in his heart.


    "Why aren''t you dead yet? I''ll fight it out with you to the very end!"

 Chapter 44 The Cloaks Shocking Protective Effect

    Wei Jiaming trembled in anger and dissatisfaction. A hint of ruthlessness shed through his eyes, and he hastily took out thest crystal from his pocket.


    Wei Jiaming did not expect thest crystal toe in handy.


    Originally, he had merely wanted to reassure his father and never thought that it would actually be his final trump card.


    The spell that was injected into this explosive crystal was Wildfire, a type of spell that dealt extremely high damage within its area of effect.


    Wildfire was a terrifying me that was difficult to extinguish, and it could reach a temperature that was twice as high as ordinary mes.


    The speed at which its mes would spread was extremely fast. Once Wei Jiaming used it, he could certainly set the entire arena aze. As a result, that d*mned Wu Mo would have no ce to hide, right?


    Additionally, he would be able to burn the d*mned cloak on Wu Mo''s body to ashes.


    Wei Jiaming resorted to such an act of harming his enemy because the anger in his heart had overshadowed his rationality.


    The only thought in his mind was to kill the fellow in front of him without a care for the consequences.


    As his thoughts ran, the smile on Wei Jiaming''s face became distorted. Without further dy, he threw it out.


    This exploding crystal had a demonic blood-red color. Like a me that could extinguish life, it shot straight toward Wu Mo.


    Most of the people present did not notice the difference. Only the Wei family''s butler, who was standing below the stage, seemed flustered.


    He usually appeared as calm as an ancient well that was endowed with extraordinary intelligence. However, all that was gone, leaving only a panicked expression.


    It was because he knew the kind of terrifying energy hidden within that exploding crystal in his young master''s hand. If it was activated, Wei Jiaming himself would probably suffer a lot of damage.


    Although the Soft Golden Silk Armor could protect him from most physical attacks, due to the special nature of the metal, it could not defend against much magic damage.


    If the Wildfire spell really spread to the entire arena, even Wei Jiaming would be in danger.


    The butler''s face immediately turned pale when he thought about it. He began to regret stopping Manager Gao Yue from calling off thepetition.


    However, for the young master''s safety, he still threw away his pride and shouted.


    "This won''t do. Unique Treasure Hall won''t bepeting anymore. Young Master Wei, you should hurry down!"


    As soon as the Wei family''s butler said that, everyone more or less understood the severity of the matter. Unfortunately, his words came a little toote. The crystal with the demonic red light had already hit the ground.


    Bang!


    A strange sound rang out.


    Everyone could only see a blood-red me spreading across the stage at an extremely fast rate. In the blink of an eye, it had burned the twopetitors along with the wooden nks that had been used to build the stage.


    Wu Mo saw the me approaching him, and he quickly pulled his cloak over himself to hide.


    The light silver cloak blocked the mes, and they could not burn through it no matter what.


    "Does this mean that Unique Treasure Hall is prepared to admit defeat?"


    Wu Mo kept the mes at bay and looked at the butler below the stage with indifference.


    This miracle of keeping the mes out stunned all the spectators.


    It was as if they were watching a fireworks show.


    From this 20-minute match, they realized that the cloak on Wu Mo''s body was a divine item.


    Not only could it dispel the smoke and purify the poison, but it could also make quick work of such a me.<sub> </sub>


    Then, they looked at the other contestant who was wearing a Soft Golden Silk Armor. His entire body was covered in mes.


    Amid the terrifying mes, the Soft Golden Silk Armor''s weakness of not being unable to withstand magic attacks was exposed.


    Wei Jiaming was screaming in pain while being burned. There was noparison between the two pieces of equipment.


    Even so, the soft golden armor that Wei Jiaming wore was already of Premium grade. It was hard to imagine the level of Wu Mo''s cloak.


    Sorry to say, only an Epic-grade cloak could pull off such feats.


    While everyone went crazy, Manager Gao Yue could no longer restrain the curiosity in his heart as he stood below the stage.


    "Mr-Mr. Wu, what is this equipment on you that has such a good defensive effect?" he asked excitedly.


    Wu Mo realized that it was Manager Gao Yue, so he immediately exined with a smile.


    "This equipment is called the Mercury Cloak. It can nullify most negative effects, and it can also increase its user''s speed. I just forged it a few days ago. I''ve just been lucky."


    As soon as Wu Mo said that, everyone came to a sudden realization. It turned out that Wu Mo had been able to resist so many exploding crystals because of this cloak.


    Everyone could not help but feel shocked when they looked back on it. Wu Mo was not even 20 years old, but he was able to forge such powerful equipment. His skills probably surpassed even the chief cksmith of Unique Treasure Hall.


    When Wei Jiaming saw everyone below praise Wu Mo, a sore feeling unwittingly filled his heart.


    He was furious, but he had nowhere to vent. He was not willing to lose just like that.


    He got up immediately and pped away the remaining mes on his body. Then, he looked at Wu Mo with an angry face.


    "What''s there to be proud of? This match isn''t over yet. I only suffered a slight burn. It doesn''t mean that I''ve lost.


    "This match is to test our equipment''s defense. Unless you knock me to the ground, I''ll be the winner!"


    Wu Mo took a nce at Wei Jiaming, whose skin had turned ck from the burns and whose hair resembled chicken feathers at this point. Wei Jiaming still thought it was a slight burn...


    Wu Mo pursed his lips and calmly said, "I''ve never heard such a special request in my entire life. Since you''re asking for it, I''ll deliver."


    After Wu Mo finished speaking, he gripped the Armor-piercing Short Staff in his hand tightly.


    Then, he walked toward Wei Jiaming step by step.


    By then, the mes in their surroundings had fizzled out. The wooden nks in the entire arena had been charred ck, exposing dense steel frames in the air.


    "Take this."


    Wu Mo exerted his strength with the help of his right leg, and the short staff in his hand instantly shot toward Wei Jiaming''s chest.


    A trace of hatred shed through Wei Jiaming''s eyes. He looked at Wu Mo''s exposed limbs and head, nning to use his long spear to pierce his opponent''s head after he deflected the attack.


    After all, the short stick in his opponent''s hand looked ordinary. It was impossible for it to cause any effective damage.


    He said those provocative words to draw his opponent closer to him so that he would have the confidence to finish his opponent off with one shot.


    Yet, just as he was about to make his move, he suddenly felt a bone-piercing pain in his chest.


    He looked at his chest as if he had seen a ghost. Wei Jiaming discovered that Wu Mo''s short staff had already pierced through the Soft Golden Silk Armor and stabbed his chest.


    "Pu!"


    A sweet but fishy smell rushed out of his throat before he spat out arge mouthful of blood. Soon, his body went limp, and he copsed.

 Chapter 45 Rising Fame, The Tenth Elder Wants To See You

    There was a deathly silence below the stage. It was as if someone had cast a binding spell on the crowd. They remained speechless as they stared at Wu Mo, who was standing on the stage, for a long time.


    "F*ck! That was awesome!"


    A middle-aged cultivator recovered from his shock and could not help but swear.


    At that moment, the crowd finally snapped out of their daze. Immediately, cheers resounded throughout the street, almost raising the roofs of the surrounding buildings.


    "I''m so amazed that I want to show this to the whole world!"


    "This is simply too much. This is the most exhrating match I''ve ever seen!"


    "I''ve never been more satisfied watching a show. My admiration for Wu Mo is enough for me to submit to him!"


    The discussions of the surrounding people were so loud that they almost went deaf.


    Below the stage, the people from Treasure Pavilion were ecstatic.


    They were so excited that their hearts almost jumped out of their throats.


    Wu Mo walked down from the stage. He rubbed his Interspatial Ring slowly and stored his cloak as well as Armor-piercing Short Staff away. There were too many people there, so he did not want to make any mistakes.


    "Manager Gao, I didn''t disappoint you, did I?" Wu Mo said with a smile after he walked up to Gao Yue and patted him on the shoulder.


    Gao Yue was excited. He held Wu Mo''s hand and respectfully said, "Mr. Wu, you are Treasure Pavilion''s most honorable guest. Thanks to your battle, our Treasure Pavilion will receive at least several hundred million resources and benefits.


    "In the future, if you face any problems, please let me know. Treasure Pavilion will serve you wholeheartedly."


    Gao Yue''s heart was filled with fear and trepidation. With Wu Mo''s help, Treasure Pavilion had benefited a lot. He had saved them a few years'' worth of travel.


    Wu Mo smiled and waved his hand. "It''s nothing. It''s what a special consultant should do."


    After Wu Mo spoke, he raised his head and looked at the few people behind Manager Gao.


    The cksmiths who had raised objections earlier all averted their gazes. Some of the receptionists did not dare to look at him either, afraid that they would anger Mr. Wu because of any small action.


    The two older appraisers also felt extremely emotional.


    They expressed how wonderful it for Treasure Pavilion to receive the help of a great talent like Wu Mo. They all cupped their hands and congratted him.


    On the other side, the people from Unique Treasure Hall... had extremely ugly expressions on their faces.


    Wei Ying had previously looked down on Wu Mo. But now, he could not calm his heart for a long time.


    Previously, the Wei family had been certain that Treasure Pavilion would be within their grasp.


    However, the result was far beyond everyone''s expectations. Not only did they not swallow Treasure Pavilion, but they even had to hand over Unique Treasure Hall, which they had painstakingly managed for several years. Such a loss was something that the Wei family could not ept.


    One should know that in order to manage Treasure Pavilion, the Wei family had used a lot of connections andworks. Furthermore, they had signed a contract with the military.


    Their goal was to grow Unique Treasure Hall''s reputation and squeeze Treasure Pavilion out of the market.


    But now, after several years of painstaking efforts, they had obtained such a result.


    All their ns had beenpletely destroyed by the youth he had underestimated.


    It resulted in the usually calm Wei Ying''s hands to tremble uncontrobly.


    One could imagine what kind of punishment he would face when he returned to the Wei family.


    He could not face Big Brother Wei Jian, and he had let the Wei family down for so many years in terms of his cultivation. To think that he would actually stumble on such a small matter.


    To make matters worse, he had lost to an unknown cksmith. He could not ept such a result.<sub> </sub>


    Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret. If he could do it all over again, he would definitely put his arrogant prejudice aside and focus on dealing with this young man called Wu Mo. .


    "Sigh... I didn''t expect things to end like this."


    The butler''s face turned gray. He nced at the cameras around him and the media who were still focusing on them.


    After struggling internally for a moment, he could only follow the rules set a week ago and hand the store over to Treasure Pavilion.


    Once they passed the key to Treasure Pavilion, the manager''s originally mottled hair turned even whiter, as though he had aged a few years in an instant.


    The remaining people from Unique Treasure Hall immediately stepped onto the stage and carried the heavily-injured and unconscious Wei Jiaming on their shoulders as they rushed toward the nearest hospital.


    Manager Gao nced at the few people who soon disappeared and spoke to the other manager with a serious expression. "ording to the rules, I''ll take over the store in two days. I hope you won''t y any tricks and ruin the Wei family''s reputation in front of the media."


    The manager''s skinny hand trembled slightly.


    "Don''t worry, our Wei family won''t be so sore losers. You can bring your people here at any time."


    The manager from the Wei family''s side pressed his thumb on the contract and squeezed through the crowd to walk into the distance.


    However, he was devastated as he staggered away. His steps were so unsteady that the wind could probably blow him away.


    Meanwhile, Unique Treasure Hall''s chief cksmith, Wei Ying, gave Wu Mo a deep look before he turned around to leave. It was as if he wanted to carve Wu Mo''s figure into his soul.


    Seeing the members of the Wei family get into their cars and disappear into the streets, the surrounding spectators also dispersed.


    Nevertheless, they continued to talk about what they had seen today. After all, being able to witness the prosperity and decline of the two chambers ofmerce was pretty much historic.


    Thanks to thepetition, Treasure Pavilion''s reputation in Shanglin City became much better.


    The entirepetition had been broadcasted, so aside from the dozens of media outlets that were present, over a thousand spectators had witnessed it as well.


    Word of mouth was enough to make Treasure Pavilion''s reputation soar to the sky.


    Not long after, the crowded streets returned to their usual lively state.


    Since news spread wildly on the Inte, merchants and cultivators who had a need for equipment rushed to Treasure Pavilion one after another.


    When they saw online that the cloak Wu Mo used was fireproof and poison-proof, they knew that Treasure Pavilion could forge equipment of much higher grade than other chambers ofmerce.


    Therefore, Treasure Pavilion was their first choice.


    The matter appeared to be settled, so Wu Mo got ready to leave.


    However, Manager Gao Yue, who was standing at the side, immediately urged him to stay. "Mr. Wu, please wait for a moment. Our headquarters'' tenth elder wants to see you."


    Wu Mo stopped and turned around to look at Gao Yue.


    "Tenth elder? Why does he want to see me?" he asked curiously.


    Noticing that Wu Mo did not seem to understand, Gao Yue sped his hands and exined.


    "It''s like this. A week ago, our headquarters received news of ourpetition with Unique Treasure Hall and sent people over."


    "Due to the distance, they''ve just arrived in Shanglin City. The person who wants to see you is the tenth elder of Treasure Pavilion''s headquarters. I just told him about thepetition''s oue, and he expressed a great desire to meet you. He hopes that you''ll give him a chance."


    When Wu Mo saw how sincere Gao Yue looked, he agreed. In any case, he had nothing urgent to do today. Since someone from Treasure Pavilion''s headquarters wanted to see him, as a special consultant, there was no reason for him to refuse.


    "Alright, I''ll wait."


    Gao Yue''s face revealed a delighted smile once Wu Mo agreed.

 Chapter 46 Promotion To Pavilion Master, Wu Mo Rejects

    "Thank you, Mr. Wu, for your understanding. Let''s go to the VIP room and wait there for a moment."


    Gao Yue gestured for Wu Mo to go up to the second floor and enter the VIP room, which only served important guests.


    Wu Mo sat on the soft leather couch and curiously asked, "You just mentioned that the tenth elder wants to see me. May I know what position the elder holds in Treasure Pavilion?"


    Gao Yue poured tea into a cup until it was half full and gently ced it in front of Wu Mo before he exined.


    "Mr. Wu, you may not know this, but the Treasure Pavilion in Shanglin City is only one of several hundred branches. Treasure Pavilion has influence throughout the continent and is also an equipment supplier for many countries. It upies a pivotal position in modern countries where spirit energy has recovered.


    "However, to facilitate management, Treasure Pavilion still retains traditional titles of position. There are 10 elders in the headquarters, which is equivalent to 10 shareholders with thergest shareholding, and below the 10 elders are 100 pavilion masters."


    "A pavilion master is equivalent to a store manager or a small shareholder in the enterprise. As I''ve said, the one who wants to see you this time is the tenth elder of our headquarters. I told him about the result of thepetition half an hour ago, and he made it clear that he really wants to see you."


    Wu Mo gently held the teacup in his right hand and quietly listened to what Manager Gao Yue told him.


    "I see. I understand."


    Wu Mo nodded, indicating that he understood.


    Manager Gao was about to say thank you when his phone rang at the wrong time.


    He nned to terminate the call, but he discovered that the caller was the tenth elder.


    Wu Mo noticed Manager Gao''s expression change, and he immediately understood the whole story. He raised his chin, indicating that there was no need to be restrained.


    Manager Gao nodded his thanks. Then he promptly went downstairs to wee the tenth elder, who had rushed over from the headquarters.


    In a few minutes, Wu Mo heard the sound of hurried footsteps approaching from downstairs.


    He turned his head and saw that Gao Yue push open the door and walk in. Behind him was an old man dressed in in, travel-worn clothes.


    Wu Mo guessed in his heart that this old man was probably the tenth elder whom Gao Yue had mentioned.


    Sure enough, when Wu Mo stood up from the couch, Gao Yue immediately introduced them.


    "Mr. Wu, this is the tenth elder who has rushed over from our headquarters. If there''s anything you need, please don''t hold back."


    Wu Mo looked at the tenth elder who stood before him. He realized that although this man did not look young, he had a strong figure. Even though the elder was dressed inly, it was obvious that he was no ordinary old man.


    "Good, good!"


    "As expected of the special consultant that Little Gao took a fancy to. He''s simply a genius."


    The tenth elder sized Wu Mo up and instantly praised him.


    He took a step forward and held Wu Mo''s hand, feeling a little excited.


    "Mr. Wu, on behalf of Treasure Pavilion''s headquarters, I thank you for everything you''ve done. If it weren''t for your help, I''m afraid an ident would have happened in our Shanglin City branch!"


    "Treasure Pavilion is not ungrateful. If you don''t mind, I''d like to promote you to the position of pavilion master, Mr. Wu. We have a branch located in Suzhou, not far from Shanglin City!"


    The tenth elder''s wrinkles gathered on his face, but his tone was extremely sincere. Despite being one of the ten great elders of Treasure Pavilion''s headquarters, he treated Wu Mo as an equal.


    It was enough to show how much importance he ced on Wu Mo.


    Gao Yue, who was standing at the side, was shocked the moment he heard the tenth elder''s words.<sub> </sub>


    One should know that it had taken him more than five years to climb from the position of receptionist to the position of pavilion master. He was already 32 years old.


    Meanwhile, a genius like Wu Mo managed to do all that in one day. How could he not be shocked and envious?


    Faced with the tenth elder''s extremely warm treatment, Wu Mo felt a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and replied evasively.


    "Thank you for your care and trust, Tenth Elder, but I''m still studying at the Divine Arms Academy. I really don''t have the time."


    Gao Yue could not help but feel astonished when he heard Wu Mo reject such a good offer.


    He subconsciously sighed. Wu Mo''s standards were so high that he would never be able to catch up to him.


    The tenth elder who was standing nearby also revealed a shocked expression.


    While he was indeed surprised by Wu Mo''s rejection of the pavilion master position, he was even more shocked by Wu Mo''s identity.


    The moment he set eyes on Wu Mo, he had felt that this man was too young.


    His easy takedown of Unique Treasure Hall, which had been backed by the Wei family, was enough to show his forging strength and talent.


    Before they met, the elder had thought that Wu Mo was a middle-aged cksmith in his forties. However, when he saw that Wu Mo was seemingly in his twenties, he was deeply awestruck. But due to his status as an elder, he remained as calm as an ancient well.


    Now that he heard that the young man was only a student who had yet to graduate, his heart was further shaken.


    How could a student in a cksmith academy forge such powerful equipment?


    One needed to realize that the difficulty of forging an equipment with multiple functions was extremely daunting.


    If it were not for the difficulty, the equipment would not be sold at such an expensive price.


    Yet, Wu Mo was able to forge an equipment with the ability to suppress the Soft Golden Silk Armor at the age of less than 20. Such skills could only be described as terrifying.


    "Gasp..."


    The tenth elder sucked in a breath of cold air. He calmed the emotions in his heart, then, with a trembling voice, he said, "Sir, you are a great talent. I have never seen a cksmith like you. I''m afraid that very few people of the same age can reach your level in the entire continent."


    "I hope that Treasure Pavilion can coborate with you for a long time. Since you''ve helped us through a crisis, we will definitely return the favor. So, may I ask what you need? As long as Treasure Pavilion can do it, we''ll definitely get to it," the tenth elder bowed slightly and asked in a respectful manner.


    Gao Yue could not help but gulp as he stood by the side. The tenth elder was one of Treasure Pavilion''s top members, but when he faced Mr. Wu, the elder was just as respectful toward Wu Mo as he was.


    It seemed that he had misjudged Mr. Wu''s future potential.


    Wu Mo did not notice the shocked expression on Manager Gao Yue''s face. Instead, he frowned slightly and began to think.


    His biggest problem now was how to forge Mjolnir.


    Although he had obtained four materials to forge the thunder god''s hammer, for Mjolnir to reach Legendary or even Divine grade, he needed to fuse high-grade materials.


    That was the only way he could forge a standard Divine weapon. Besides, forging Mjolnir was not just a n Wu Mo hade up with. It was also to help his predecessor fulfill his lifelong wish.


    Thus, to sessfully forge the Divine weapon, Mjolnir, he needed arge smelting furnace and high-grade materials to raise its quality, and arge smelting furnace.


    Even though there was a smelting furnace avable in the Divine-grade Forging Space, its volume was too small, and it did not allow him to fuse many materials at once.


    If he carried on with the refinement process using that furnace, it would require him at least twenty rounds to fuse all the materials. Wu Mo did not have that much time to waste, so arge cauldron was now a prerequisite for thepletion of his n.

 Chapter 47 The Great Cauldron

    Once Wu Mo thought about it, he nodded and said, "I need a furnace of good quality, and I need a lot of burners. Therger the capacity, the better."


    After hearing Wu Mo''s request, the tenth elder was a little confused.


    As an elder of Treasure Pavilion, he naturally knew a lot about casting. The so-called burners on the furnace were the air vents. The more burners there were, the more powerful the fire would be, and the higher the upper limit of the fire''s temperature.


    Moreover, the more openings there were, the better the forger''s control of the fire would be. However, it would be more difficult to use it.


    A normal quality furnace had four openings, and the better the quality of the opening, the bigger it would be. The upper limit was within ten openings. Even a high-level cksmith would find it difficult to control too many openings.


    As for the furnace''s internal volume, the smaller the better. This was the tenth elder''s first time hearing someone make such a request.


    For a moment, he was confused.


    However, as the controlling shareholder of the headquarters, the tenth elder was very polite.


    He felt that Mr. Wu must have his own reasons for doing so. After all, everyone had their own secrets. Sometimes, one should not ask too many questions.


    Moreover, Mr. Wu was an important guest of Treasure Pavilion. Since Mr. Wu had spoken, he naturally had to make arrangements.


    "Understood. I''ll arrange for people to make preparations now. Mr. Wu, pleasee to Treasure Pavilion''s hall and make your selection."


    Wu Mo nodded with a smile. He, the tenth elder, and Gao Yue proceeded to Treasure Pavilion''s hall together.


    This time, a total of seven people had followed the tenth elder from the headquarters to Shanglin City.


    Wu Mo could feel the fluctuations of spirit energy in those people''s bodies. He immediately understood that they were probably cultivators with extraordinary strength.


    The tenth elder ordered his men to prepare.


    Whether it was Treasure Pavilion''s staff or the many cultivators who had arrived with the tenth elder, they immediately found many furnaces of different sizes via their respective channels following the elder''s demand.


    Not long after, dozens of furnaces were piled up in front of Wu Mo. Everyone looked at Wu Mo with respect and told him about the effects of the furnace they contributed.


    "Mr. Wu, the furnace I''m offering is called Copper Tiger. It has six fire outlets and a volume of one hundred liters. The temperature inside the furnace can easily break past one thousand and two hundred degrees. On top of that, it can withstand a full-strength attack from a Three-star cultivator without being damaged," athin young man wearing a ck robe said.


    Wu Mo looked at the bronze-colored furnace in front of him. His expression was calm, and it was impossible to tell whether he was dissatisfied or satisfied.


    A tanned man saw this and immediately pushed the first man away. Then, he looked at Wu Mo and spoke with a smile.


    "Mr. Wu, take a look at my furnace. It''s 1.2 meters tall and has a volume of more than 300 liters. It also has 8 outlets. The temperature inside can reach up to 1,500. Although this cauldron is a little crude, it''s practical. My friends who are cksmiths have agreed to use it¡ª"


    Before the brawny man could finish his words, someone beside him interrupted him.


    "Go to hell. Mr. Wu, as a distinguished guest of our Treasure Pavilion, how can you use such a crude thing? Mr. Wu, take a look at my furnace, Blood Rose. It has 10 outlets and a volume of 200 liters. It''s a Rare-grade furnace. It can reduce the rate of failure in forging."


    Seeing the furnaces ced before him one after another, the tenth elder who was standing at the side immediately asked with an eager look, "Mr. Wu, are these enough to catch your eye?"


    The people who had offered the furnaces looked at Wu Mo.


    They wanted to see what kind of choice he would make.


    Wu Mo nced at the colorful furnaces but felt a little regretful in his heart.


    Although some of these furnaces were of good quality, their sizes were far from his expectations.


    After some thought, Wu Mo nodded and said, "These are indeed good but not quite enough."<sub> </sub>


    The tenth elder blinked his eyes, feeling that Wu Mo''s words held a different meaning.


    "Um, Mr. Wu, I''m sorry, our Treasure Pavilion doesn''t have a suitable furnace for your usage for the time being. But don''t worry, Shanglin City officials definitely have a lot of top-grade furnaces. If you have the time, I''ll bring you to them now."


    "Ask the mayor to give us a furnace?"


    Wu Mo thought about it and felt that the matter of finding the furnace could not be dyed. The Divine Arms Academy''s graduation assessment was less than half a month away, so he had to forge Mjolnir in advance. The longer he dyed, the more disadvantageous it would be for him.


    "In that case, I''ll have to trouble you, Tenth Elder."


    Wu Mo stood up and cupped his hands toward the tenth elder.


    "Mr. Wu, what are you talking about? It''s all thanks to you that Treasure Pavilion has been able to settle down. This small matter is nothingpared to your great kindness to us," the tenth elder said earnestly, his face full of gratitude.


    "Little Gao, stay here and take care of Treasure Pavilion. I''ll bring Mr. Wu to the mayor''s mansion."


    After he made arrangements for follow-up tasks, the tenth elder and Wu Mo immediately walked out of Treasure Pavilion and headed in the direction of the mayor''s mansion.


    The two of them chatted as they walked. Wu Mo realized that the tenth elder was not putting on any airs of a superior. Instead, he was like a kind grandfather.


    There were rows of merchants on either side of the bustling road, while the sun was somewhat dazzling. Its light shone through the dense leaves and sprinkled on the ground.


    "Mr. Wu, are you still studying at the Divine Arms Academy?" the tenth elder ced his hands behind his back and asked in a gentle voice.


    Wu Mo gradually slowed down his footsteps. He nodded and answered a little emotionally, "Yes, but I''ll be graduating in half a month."


    "Hehe. Mr. Wu, you''re a great talent. Have you nned where you''ll go after graduating?"


    "I haven''t thought so far ahead yet," Wu Mo replied casually.


    He looked ahead, but his vision was attracted by a ray of golden light that was suddenly reflected.


    He subconsciously turned his head to look and found that the source of the golden light was not far away. It was from the treasure-gathering cauldron at the entrance of Shanglin Bank.


    Golden light was reflected off the cauldron under the sunlight, and even the surface of the road had a golden shine. It seemed to have good feng shui for gathering treasure.


    Moreover, the cauldron was two meters tall and bigger than all the furnaces he had seen in Treasure Pavilion. It perfectly suited his needs.


    "Hey, that''s good!"


    Wu Mo pped his thigh and eximed with excitement while he pointed at the cauldron.


    The tenth elder was still thinking about how to bring a talent like Wu Mo into Treasure Pavilion''s headquarters.


    When he heard Wu Mo shout, he was shocked.


    He raised his head and looked at the golden cauldron not far away from the bank entrance.


    When he saw how interested Wu Mo was in the cauldron, he walked toward the bank without a word.


    Wu Mo immediately gave him a thumbs up.


    "Okay, my friend, the tenth elder, can handle anything. If there''s a need, he''s on it!"

 Chapter 48 Hearsay In Shanglin City

    At that moment, he followed the tenth elder and arrived at the bank''s entrance.


    Two receptionists in uniform had just opened their mouths to greet him.


    However, the tenth elder pushed them away.


    "Is your president around? Please ask him to hurry out. I''d like to move the cauldron away from the entrance."


    The tenth elder entered the bank''s office as if there was no one there. He had an urgent look on his face, which made Wu Mo smile internally.


    In the bank''s office, a few confused staff members looked at the two people, who had barged into the bank, through bulletproof ss. They were considering whether or not to press the emergency rm button.


    The security guards in uniform did not dare to go forward either because they had sensed the spirit energy fluctuation from the old man''s body. A hundred ordinary people would not even pose a threat to a cultivator who had fought on the battlefield.


    The bank''s office immediately descended into chaos, and the ordinary residents who were queuing up to do business quickly left.


    Seeing that the situation was urgent, the manager immediately invited the president out.


    In a few minutes, the bank''s president, who was dressed in formal attire, walked out of the office.


    When he learned that the old man wanted to move the cauldron at the entrance of their bank, he was instantly dumbfounded.


    "What the hell? No, esteemed guests, what are you trying to do?!"


    The bank''s president originally wanted to throw a tantrum, but when he saw the young man dressed in a casting suit, his ugly expression immediately faded.


    cksmithing was currently the most popr profession in society. Although he was the bank''s president, he did not dare to easily make enemies. Only God knew if this young cksmith had the backing of an aristocratic family.


    "Sirs, that object is a treasure for our bank to gather wealth and suppress evil. How can you move it just like that?"


    The bank''s president wiped the sweat off his forehead and looked at the two people in front of him as heined.


    Seeing that he did not actually agree with their actions, the tenth elder snorted coldly. "You don''t want to give it to us, do you? Fine, then I''ll take the £¤100,000,000 cash deposited by my division in your bank. In the future, your bank will not be coborating with Treasure Pavilion anymore!"


    Seeing that the tenth elder actually used his identity to pressure the president, Wu Mo, who was standing at the side, could not help butugh.


    When the bank''s president discovered that the old man was actually one of the people in charge of Treasure Pavilion, he instantly bowed. An obsequious smile then filled his face.


    "Come on, there''s no need to do that. You mustn''t do that. You''re our esteemed guest at Shanglin Bank, so what''s a big cauldron to us? Men, quickly tear down that big cauldron at the door!"


    The president of Shanglin Bank waved his hand, and a few security guards, as well as staff, immediately began to take action.


    After they removed the base used for the exhibition and the fixed steel frame, the big cauldron was promptly ced on the ground, as though it had no owner.


    The bank''s president saw that the big cauldron had already been dismantled, and a hint of heartache shed across his eyes. It was something that their bank had spent arge sum of money tomission.


    It had not even been ced there for half a year.


    Now that the bank could no longer keep the cauldron, he absolutely could not neglect his distinguished guests anymore.


    The bank''s president hurriedly walked out of the hall and attentively asked, "Sir, where are you going to move this cauldron? How are you going to take such a huge thing with you? Do you need me to arrange for staff to help you bring it home?"


    The tenth elder looked at the cauldron that had been ced on the ground. He realized that there was spirit energy on its surface, and he could not help but find it a little strange.


    However, since Wu Mo had obtained his ideal furnace ahead of time, he did not need to trouble the mayor anymore.


    "Mr. Wu, which dormitory are you in? Why don''t I arrange for someone to bring it over?"


    The elder did not let go of any opportunity to give Wu Mo a good impression. Right then, he spoke with a concerned expression.<sub> </sub>


    Seeing the bank''s president and the tenth elder cast a somewhat puzzled gaze at him, Wu Mo waved his hand and calmly said, "There''s no need."


    Then, he lightly snapped his fingers. Immediately after, a white light shed in front of him. Therge golden cauldron on the ground disappeared at that very second.


    If it were not for the exhibition''s base and steel frame at the side, others might have thought that therge cauldron never existed.


    "Gasp... Could it be that you''re using the Mountain Moving technique, Sir?"


    The bank''s president looked at Wu Mo with a shocked expression as if he had just seen an otherworldly expert.


    On the other hand, the tenth elder stroked his sparse beard with a shocked expression and said, "This should be an Interspatial Ring. I heard that someone''s been auctioning them, and each of them sell for over £¤3,000,000. It''s truly shocking that you have such a treasure, Mr. Wu."


    Hearing the tenth elder''s exnation, Wu Mo''s interest was instantly piqued.


    He curiously asked, "Oh, you mentioned seeing this item at an auction house? I wonder, which city is it in, Tenth Elder?"


    The tenth elder did not notice Wu Mo''s abnormal expression and promptly exined, "It''s at the auction house in West Moon City. However, this is the news that West Moon City''s pavilion master told me. I''ve never seen them with my own eyes before. Why? Have you paid too much for it?"


    Following the tenth elder''s rification, Wu Mo suddenly remembered the casting contract he had signed with Guangli Trading Company''s boss, Jia Wei.


    Now that he had heard news about the rings from the tenth elder, Wu Mo was somewhat surprised.


    It had not been long since he signed the contract with Jia Wei. He did not expect Mr. Jia to already finish casting the product. He had even started to sell it, so it was considered fast progress.


    Wu Mo believed that it would not be long before Mr. Jia would send him themission for the first batch of sales. They had agreed that he would take 70% of the profits for every piece sold.


    With Mr. Jia''s reputation as someone who had been operating in good faith for more than ten years, he would not be keeping the profits to himself.


    Thinking of that, Wu Mo''s heart was filled with anticipation.


    Noticing that the tenth elder was still looking at him curiously, Wu Mo soon exined.


    "No, it''s just that I''m the one who forged this Interspatial Ring. It''s gettingte, and I''ve already obtained my furnace. Let''s make a move now."


    Wu Mo waved his hand as he turned around and walked toward the road.


    The bank''s president looked at Wu Mo''s departing figure with a dumbfounded expression, thinking to himself, ''When did such a figure appear in Shanglin City?''


    The elder of Treasure Pavilion''s headquarters treated that young man with such respect.


    When the tenth elder heard Wu Mo''s words, he was instantly petrified on the spot.


    After a long time, he finally regained hisposure and quickly chased after Wu Mo.


    One should know that an Interspatial Ring that possessed special space and could even help one achieve immortality was extremely rare.


    An ordinary master cksmith would find it difficult to refine it.


    However, he never thought that this famous Interspatial Ring would have personally been refined by the youth in front of him.


    From this, one could see how unrestrained Mr. Wu''s creativity was.


    If Treasure Pavilion could work with him for a long time, the benefits that followed would be immeasurable.


    The tenth elder''s heart palpitated for what felt like forever. He lowered his head and walked next to Wu Mo, not speaking for a long time.

 Chapter 49 Seizing Unique Treasure Hall

    "Tenth Elder, let''s seize Unique Treasure Hall as the rules of thepetition stated."


    "Things will change if we dy it. My graduation assessment is approaching, and I might not have time toe outter on."


    Wu Mo held a ss of an iced drink that he had just bought from a shop and spoke with a satisfied expression.


    The tenth elder immediately nodded and agreed. "Alright, Mr. Wu. I''ll follow your lead. I''ll inform Little Gao about it now and ask him to bring the contract that the Wei family''s steward signed."


    "Okay," Wu Mo responded softly.


    Although he appeared to be indifferent, he was still looking forward to it.


    He was looking forward to what kind of surprise Unique Treasure Hall would bring him. Could he gather all the materials needed to refine a Divine weapon, especially the most precious Legendary Essence?


    He had to obtain it.


    Unique Treasue Hall was a well-known chamber ofmerce in Shanglin City, after all. A few years of development should give it a great foundation.


    Moreover, it was said that Unique Treasure Hall was backed by an army.


    Wu Mo''s sess in refining the thunder god''s hammer depended on the abundance of resources in Unique Treasure Hall.


    The two of them waited in a cafe for a while, and not long after, Manager Gao Yue rushed over with the contract.


    "Thank you for your hard work, Manager Gao."


    Wu Mo looked at the handprint, as well as the signature, on the contract, and the smile on his face became much brighter.


    Manager Gao took two deep breaths, picked up the paper on the table, and wiped his sweat. "It''s nothing. Everything''s worth it if I can help you, Mr. Wu," he said.


    The tenth elder, who was sitting next to them, handed them drinks. The three of them rested for a moment before they promptly headed toward Unique Treasure Hall.


    Their carriage was fast. Even though the path was busy, it still moved unimpeded.


    In less than ten minutes, the carriage stopped by the side of the road. Wu Mo was the first to get out of the carriage. He immediately saw the chamber ofmerce not far away with the "Unique Treasure Hall" que hanging on it.


    Unique Treasure Hall covered more than a thousand square meters. The magnificence of its decor was not much different from that of Treasure Pavilion.


    However, its entrance was deserted. There was not a single person there.


    "Mr. Wu, let''s go over. Based on the agreement we made, we will take all the materials acquired by Unique Treasure Hall and hand them over to you," Manager Gao Yue said with a serious face.


    The tenth elder nodded, approving of Little Gao''s actions.


    "Alright, we should go in first. If they dare hide anything, I''ll let you handle it," Wu Mo waved his hand and spoke somewhat shyly.


    The three of them soon arrived at Unique Treasure Hall''s entrance.


    At this time, a receptionist in uniform suddenly turned pale when she saw Manager Gao Yue outside.


    Although she did not witness thepetition between the two chambers ofmerce, after learning that the Wei family''s young master had been seriously injured and hospitalized, she put two and two together.


    Now, Treasure Pavilion''s store manager, Gao Yue, had clearlye with the purpose of taking over Unique Treasure Hall.


    While the receptionist knew that possession of Unique Treasure Hall was about to be transferred, she still found it hard to ept the quick arrival of Treasure Pavilion''s people.


    "What are you looking at? Why aren''t you getting your manager? We''re here to seize Unique Treasure Hall!"


    Seeing that the other party was not responding immediately, the tenth elder''s expression turned cold. The aura of a high-level cultivator instantly burst forth, causing a chill to run down the receptionist''s spine.<sub> </sub>


    "You three men, what are you doing, bullying a girl?"


    At that moment, a young man in a cksmith uniform quickly walked out from within Unique Treasure Hall. There were quite a few people following him from behind. Among them were Manager Wei Ying and a few other cultivators who had been present during thepetition.


    "What a grand disy. Don''t tell me you''re trying to deny it?"


    The tenth elder snorted coldly. His expression was ice-cold as he looked at the two cultivators behind Wei Ying. His clothes rippled, and a terrifying aura spread out, immediately causing the dozen or so cultivators to breathe heavily.


    Wu Mo looked at the tenth elder in surprise. He did not expect the spirit energy in the man''s body to be so dense. He estimated that the elder was at least a five-star cultivator.


    Wei Ying stared at Wu Mo sharply, and he could not stop the muscles in his face from trembling. Following a moment of hesitation, he still chose to let him pass.


    He slowly walked to the side, and the surrounding people instantly revealed disappointed expressions. They did not want to hand over Unique Treasure Hall just like that. Everything there was the result of their joint efforts.


    It had not been easy for them to make a name for themselves, and it had not been easy for them to obtain more than 30% of the market share in Shanglin City. Everything they had aplished was about to go up in smoke!


    "ording to the rules, we will be taking over Unique Treasure Hall from now on. All unrted individuals, please leave," Gao Yue held the contract and said arrogantly.


    He was not afraid that the other party would tear up the contract. After all, the Wei family''s steward had put his handprint down in front of countless cameras. If they actually pulled any stunts, others would definitely look down on the Wei family.


    It was not worth it for the Wei family to risk the world just to protect Unique Treasure Hall.


    Moreover, even if they were to make a move, the two cultivators behind Wei Ying might not be a match for the tenth elder.


    Despite his intense hatred for the people of Treasure Pavilion, Wei Ying could only do as he was told.


    Not long after, the tenth elder cleared out all the people in Unique Treasure Hall. Many of the staff stood at Unique Treasure Hall''s entrance with dumbfounded looks on their faces. They had yet to process the sudden change.


    Seven to eight cksmiths of different levels were thrown into the sun, and they watched helplessly as Wu Mo and the others put out the fire in the furnace where they were still burning materials.


    "Unique Treasure Hall''s warehouse is on the second floor, right? Hurry up and open the warehouse door. We would like to conduct an inspection. If you try anything, I''ll get the mayor here to deal with the matter," the tenth elder narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a low voice.


    Wei Ying''s expression was extremely horrendous, and the people behind him were also ashen-faced.


    The materials in the warehouse were the foundation of Unique Treasure Hall. They were worth more than several dozen million yuan. How could they willingly give everything up just like that?


    Sadly, they had no other choice now. They could only follow the other party''s request!


    "I''ll give it to you!"


    Wei Ying threw the silver warehouse key over, and thetenth elder easily caught it.


    "Very good. Once we''re done taking inventory, you can leave. But before that, please stay here and don''t move."


    The tenth elder''s beard rustled, and the smile on his face did not disappear even though Wei Ying made his hatred obvious.


    Seeing the arrogant look on the old fellow''s face, Wei Ying almost ground his teeth to dust.


    However, the elder''s strength was far above theirs. Any attack from them would be useless. Moreover, the Wei family''s reputation might be affected, so Wei Ying could only try his best to endure.


    "Mr. Wu, let''s make our way to the warehouse," the tenth elder said to Wu Mo after he snorted coldly.


    Soon, the three of them arrived at the warehouse on the second floor. The tenth elder used the key to unlock the heavy door and pushed it open.


    The moment they saw the scene inside, the three of them were moved.

 Chapter 50 Wu Mo’s Plan

    A hint of ecstasy shed across Wu Mo''s face, because he had discovered a hint of gold amidst the mountainous pile of colorful materials!


    Unique Treasure Hall''s warehouse was more than 200 square meters in size. Equipment and materials were ced on both sides of the warehouse in different categories, and the materials emanated blue, as well as green, rays of light. There was even a purple ray of light among them. However, at that moment, the three of them focused their eyes on a ss box in the deepest part of the warehouse.


    The translucent box was emitting a constant golden light. It held one of the most important materials for casting Thor''s hammer, the Legendary Essence!


    There were three different boxes that were parallel to the one with the Legendary Essence. All of them were releasing golden light. Although their illumination was not as rich as that of the Legendary Essence at the center of the warehouse, they were still top-tier materials!


    The price of a single one of them would be more than £¤5,000,000 on the market. Besides, if they met a good buyer, the price could go up even more.


    Under the disy cab, there were all kinds of materials piled up like a small mound. At a nce, there seemed to be at least a thousand of items.


    After they observed the materials, the three of them could not help but sigh internally. It seemed that Unique Treasure Hall had developed amazingly in the past two years by coborating with the military. It was really unexpected for them to have so many collections.


    By now, Wu Mo''s breathing had be much heavier. He followed the tenth elder and Manager Gao to the equipment storage area inside.


    He also saw a few pieces of equipment that were glowing with purple light in the equipment pool. They were likely Unique Treasure Hall''s most expensive stock.


    Moreover, Wu Mo found more than ten pieces of Soft Golden Silk Armor by the side. It seemed that they had all been made in the same batch.


    "Mr. Wu, what do you n to do with these materials? If you''re in a hurry to exchange them for money, Treasure Pavilion is willing to charge a 20% premium."


    The tenth elder was a little excited when he saw the precious equipment.


    However, he was not nning on asking for the equipment. After all, he had already made an agreement with Wu Mo, in which Wu Mo would be the one to care for all of Unique Treasure Hall''s collections.


    It was great enough that they could monopolize the market.


    The tenth elder was just worried that Wu Mo would have nowhere to put so many materials.


    Based on the tenth elder''s knowledge, although the Interspatial Ring was very portable, its internal space was still limited. It was impossible for Wu Mo to store so many items and materials.


    On top of that, thetter was not a descendant of an aristocratic family. Wu Mo did not own any property in Shanglin City, and he was still a student of the Divine Arms Academy. He could not store all these items in his dormitory.


    Thus, the tenth elder thought of purchasing some materials from Wu Mo so that it would be easier for Wu Mo to deal with them.


    He looked at the excited Wu Mo before him and tried to ask for his opinion.


    "Tenth Elder, you have already helped me greatly. How can I still allow you to lose money? I have my own ways to deal with the materials, but before that, I''ll have to trouble you with finding someone to move all these things into the main hall," Wu Mo said without hesitation as he looked at the shiny green treasures.


    Prior to his arrival, he had already thought of the problems he might face, so he formted a solution on the way there.


    As a cksmith, he had plenty of experience in storing materials. As for whether his solution could be sessfully implemented, he would only know once it was done.


    The tenth elder nodded and immediately went downstairs to arrange for people to move the precious materials.


    Meanwhile, Wu Mo moved to the hall. He found a rtively spacious ce and directly brought out the cauldron that he had gotten from the bank.


    The gilded feng shui cauldron was two meters tall, and the space inside was massive. When Wu Mo took out the cauldron, it upied almost half of the hall.


    The forgers and receptionists of Unique Treasure Hall were standing at the door, looking at the reflective cauldron with a dumbfounded look.


    "Is this person sick? He actually brought that thing into the hall."


    "It''s obviously inferior. Putting that thing in front of the Unique Treasure Hall is lowering its ss!"


    "He looks like a viin who has achieved sess. Just looking at him fills me with hate."<sub> </sub>


    The young cksmiths immediately made disdainfulments.


    Gao Yue stared at those cksmiths with a cold gaze and sneered, "All of you have been fired from your jobs, yet you still have the gall to speak as if you''re Treasure Pavilion''s distinguished guests. Did I ask you to introduce yourselves?"


    Although those forgers were good at refining equipment, they were all cowards when it came to arguments.


    Hearing Gao Yue''s words, they shut their mouths obediently.


    "Store Manager Gao, in the end, you''re just Treasure Pavilion''sckey. What''s there to be proud of?"


    Wei Ying''s expression was hostile. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Gao Yue as he enunciated each word clearly.


    "Hehe, I might be ackey, but it''s better than being a homeless stray dog. Even arge chamber ofmerce can''t keep an eye on you. Don''t tell me the Wei family is keeping you as a guard dog?"


    Gao Yue did not falter at all. Instead, he used the other party''s words to retaliate against Wei Ying with a face full of ridicule.


    "You! The Wei family will definitely not let this go. Just wait and see!"


    Wei Ying was so angry that his eyes turned red and flew into a fit of rage. The veins on his forehead were throbbing, and his temples were also puffing up and down.


    He made that vicious statement with a ferocious expression. Then, with a wave of his sleeve, he turned around to leave.


    At that moment, Gao Yue leaned against the door frame with a rxed expression and softly reminded him, "Who told you to leave? The handover process isn''t over yet. We haven''t finished verifying and epting Unique Treasure Hall. If you don''t sign the document, Treasure Pavilion might have to post some statements about the Wei family''s attitude on the Inte."


    "When that happens, don''t me us if it affects the Wei family negatively."


    His voice drifted into everyone''s ears, and the cksmiths who had originally intended to leave immediately stopped in their tracks.


    Wei Ying forcefully halted his steps as well.


    He turned around and stared at Gao Yue with a terrifying gaze as if he wanted to swallow the other party alive!


    "Sigh... It''s gettingte. We''re about to start taking inventory. Please take a good look."


    Gao Yue stretched his backzily. Then, he patted the dust off his body and walked toward the hall.


    Wei Ying almost clenched his fist until it bled. However, to get the receipt of the contract, he could only endure the pain in his heart and return to the main entrance.


    Everyone looked at Unique Treasure Hall.


    They discovered that many of the materials and equipment originally stored in the warehouse had been moved to the hall.


    Moreover, therge, gilded cauldron was currently burning with mes, as though it was preparing for something.


    Everyone was a little puzzled. Why did they need to bring the cauldron out to start a fire when they were taking inventory? Was Treasure Pavilion conducting some kind of ritual?


    "Mr. Wu, all the equipment in the warehouse on the second floor have been taken down. There are a total of 307 pieces of equipment. Among them are 57 pieces of Ordinary equipment, 212 pieces of Rare equipment, 31 pieces of Premium equipment, and 7 pieces of Epic equipment."


    "Most of them have already been bound. Even if the people from Unique Treasure Hall don''t cooperate, it will be difficult to unbind them."


    The tenth elder had gotten people to move all the equipment down. Subsequently, he cupped his hands and did not hold back as he spoke to Wu Mo, who was adjusting the cauldron ordingly.


    Wu Mo descended thedder, and when he saw the pile of equipment that looked like a small mountain, the joy on his face was almost impossible to hide.

 Chapter 51 Burning Equipment, Scaring The Crowd

    "I don''t know what you''reughing about. All of this equipment has been bound by our cksmith''s binding spells. Even if Treasure Pavilion takes them, you wouldn''t be able to use them at all. Hmph!" a young man with long hair said disdainfully when he saw Wu Mo''s smug face.


    "In the end, you''re just a lowly mutt. You think you''ve picked up a treasure. What a joke."


    "Why don''t you sell this equipment back to us at a low price? That way, you can at least get some gains. I can buy one for £¤5,000."


    "That''s too much. Two thousand yuan is more like it. Without our help, the equipment wouldn''t be usable. If the binding is forcefully broken, the cost would probably exceed the original value of the equipment."


    The few cksmiths standing at the door spoke at once. Their faces revealed resentment, and they wanted to see how the guy called Wu Mo would deal with the current situation.


    Wei Ying stared at the cauldron that was burning with mes and had some evil intentions in his heart.


    "That guy is starting a fire in the cauldron. Is he trying to destroy the equipment?"


    An idea popped up in his mind, but his own reason rejected it.


    The people of Unique Treasure Hall were not fools. They would not let Wu Mo destroy the equipment at will.


    Moreover, the total value of the equipment was close to several hundred million yuan. Even if the people of Treasure Pavilion had a grudge against them, they would not do anything to harm their own interests.


    Thinking of that, Wei Ying began to consider what to do next to reduce loss. Using the excuse of binding spells on the equipment to buy the equipment back at a low price was probably the best answer.


    After all, the people of Treasure Pavilion could not use the equipment, so it was better to sell it to them.


    When the time came, Unique Treasure Hall would change its name and re-establish its chamber ofmerce. Then, would they not be reborn?


    Therefore, to Unique Treasure Hall, the equipment was its foundation.


    In any case, they had the military''s support. It would not be long before they could regain their lost market share.


    Since they had this n, they chose to protect the Wei family''s reputation and hand Unique Treasure Hall over to the others.


    If everything went ordingly, then this time, the people from Unique Treasure Hall would currently just be going through the motions.


    If those people from Treasure Pavilion could not utilize the equipment, it would greatly reduce the speed of Treasure Pavilion''s development. At that time, they couldpletely overtake them.


    That was his idea, and of course, it was also the intention of the Wei family''s master.


    If it could be sessfully implemented, it would be able to minimize the risk and loss of their failure.


    "Let''s see what you can do. In the end, you still have to obediently hand over the things that you swallowed."


    Wei Ying''s expression was unpleasant as he muttered to himself.


    Right then, Wu Mo, who had climbed down from thedder, made his way to the center of the hall and stood before the small mountain of equipment.


    Everyone''s gaze was focused on Wu Mo, wanting to see his reaction at this moment.


    They expected him to sell the equipment at a low price. After all, without a way to untie the binding, the equipment would be useless.


    Wei Ying sneered as he stood straight and waited quietly.


    "Mr. Wu, what do you n to do with the equipment?" the tenth elder walked to Wu Mo''s side and asked with a worried expression.<sub> </sub>


    Once he learned that the equipment had all been bound, his heart became uneasy. After all, when Treasure Pavilion and Mr. Wu coborated, they had already made an agreement: Wu Mo would obtain all the equipment and materials that they seized.


    Mr. Wu could have managed all the equipment, but now that the equipment was bound, they would not even be worth a million if they were sold on the ck market.


    As a result, Mr. Wu''s interests would be greatly damaged.


    The tenth elder had originally wanted to rope Mr. Wu into Treasure Pavilion, but with the present problem, Mr. Wu''s impression of Treasure Pavilion was about to sour.


    Therefore, the tenth elder had been thinking about what to do to appease Mr. Wu.


    Just as he fell into a dilemma because he did not know how to deal with it, Wu Mo calmly said, "I''ve already thought of a way to deal with it. Ask your men to help throw all of the equipment into the cauldron."


    Unique Treasure Hall had been rtively quiet since everyone wanted to see how Wu Mo would deal with the equipment.


    Thus, Wu Mo''s words drifted into everyone''s ears without any obstruction.


    The entire Unique Treasure Hall becamepletely silent at the very next second, especially when they saw Wu Mo''s indifferent expression.


    His attitude made it seem like it was a trivial matter.


    It was the kind of contrast that made people make a double take. Had they heard him wrongly?


    "M-Mr. Wu, what did you say?" At that moment, the tenth elder raised his head and asked with a stiff expression. He swallowed his saliva and stared at Wu Mo.


    He was not the only one who felt that he had misheard Wu Mo. Even the mocking expressions on the faces of the cksmiths outside Unique Treasure Hall stiffened. The face of their leader, Wei Ying, instantly turned deathly pale.


    He heard Wu Mo''s words clearly and also understood his intentionspletely!


    Although it was only the second time Wei Ying had met Wu Mo, he had suffered a lot in front of the young man. Based on his understanding, it was not in Wu Mo''s character to make false statements at such a critical juncture. Since Wu Mo dared to say such words, he had to have a n.


    "Is he crazy?!"


    Wei Ying clenched his fists. He could not calm his heart for a long time. He felt the blood in his body flow rapidly and began to think about the purpose behind Wu Mo''s words.


    To the people of Treasure Pavilion, this pile of equipment was nothing more than scrap metal. However, to the people of Unique Treasure Hall, it was the capital for them to make aeback.


    If the members of Treasure Pavilion did not give up and exchange the equipment for money, the Wei family would suffer a loss of at least several hundred million yuan!


    When Wei Ying thought of that, his heart suddenly constricted. He felt as if he had done something wrong and given Wu mo a weapon to use against them.


    Only now did he understand cause and effect. Wu Mo was clearly trying to use a small loss topletely destroy Unique Treasure Hall, leaving no room for further development!


    He took a deep breath, his face looking extremely pale.


    After it dawned upon him, Wei Ying could not help but think about how cunning Wu Mo was! He was actually able to destroy his n with a single hit.


    He became agitated, and when he thought about how Wu Mo''s actions might bring about the Unique Treasure Hall, terror filled his heart even more.


    However, the group of cksmiths behind Wei Ying still had not wrapped their minds around it. They had no idea what Wu Mo was going to do.


    In the hall, Wu Mo bent down and picked up a piece of equipment that glowed with blue light.

 Chapter 52 Epic Grade? Burn Without Error

    "An Ice de Crossbow? The forging technique of this equipment seems a little clumsy. Burn it."


    After muttering to himself, Wu Mo immediately threw the crossbow into his furnace. The light blue crossbow was instantly devoured by the mes, turning into molten iron and mottled liquid.


    Wu Mo''s action caused everyone present to drop their jaws in shock.


    The cksmiths behind Wei Ying widened their mouths as they looked at Wu Mo.


    "F*ck, someone previously offered £¤600,000 for this crossbow. He burned £¤600,000 into molten iron just like that!"


    "F*ck, has this person gone crazy? The equipment is so expensive because forging takes a lot of hard work on the cksmiths'' part. Burning it into molten iron is simply killing the goose thatys the golden egg!"


    "Does he even know what''s good for him? This is a piece of Rare-grade equipment. Only a three-star cksmith or above can forge it. Moreover, it takes a few days to forge it. To burn it just like that is wasting God''s gift!"


    The cksmiths could not sit still any longer. They clenched their fists and began to criticize Wu Mo''s actions with furious expressions.


    At that moment, Gao Yue, who was standing by the door, reacted and disdainfully said, "The equipment belongs to Treasure Pavilion now. Whether we burn them or throw them away, it has nothing to do with you. Understand?"


    "What a bunch of useless people. How dare you criticize Treasure Pavilion''s distinguished guest? If you dare to speak rudely again, don''t me me for being impolite!" Gao Yue crossed his arms and said coldly.


    His imposing manner made the few cksmiths shrink their necks and shut their mouths obediently.


    "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and help Mr. Wu pour all the equipment into the furnace!"


    Right then, the tenth elder finally understood the meaning behind Wu Mo''s actions, and the worried expression on his face immediately turned into excitement.


    As an elder of Treasure Pavilion''s headquarters, he naturally deciphered what Wu Mo was trying to do. He could not help but be impressed by Wu Mo''s quick thinking.


    It only took Wu Mo a very small amount of resources to make the enemy suffer so much that they wished they were dead. It was an extremely brilliant method. Even he would not have been able toe up with such a n in a short time.


    When the servants heard the tenth elder''s order, they no longer felt conflicted. They promptly picked up a pile of colorful equipment and threw it into the cauldron.


    In less than half a minute, more than forty pieces of equipment were melted into molten iron. The cksmiths'' faces became twisted in response to such a bold and wasteful act, and their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.


    After all, the equipment was the result of theirbined hard work over the past year. The equipment that was worth collecting was buried in a sea of fire so easily.


    It made their chests hurt and their faces turn white.


    "B*stard, stop! Don''t burn the equipment that we worked so hard to produce!"


    Even with Gao Yue''s imposing manner, the cksmiths still struggled and shouted. Their faces were pale, and their facial features were distorted. It was as if an actual person was burning in the furnace, not the equipment that they had refined.


    However, the tenth elder''s subordinates did not have the slightest intention of stopping. Instead, they quickened their pace.


    They continued to throw the gorgeous equipment into the sea of fire one by one, turning them into molten iron and all kinds of unknown raw materials.


    Such behavior was equivalent to taking apart a television with the circuit board still inside. It waspletely iprehensible to them.


    To protect the equipment that they had refined, a few cksmiths started to kneel on the ground and beg.


    "God d*mn it, don''t! It wasn''t easy for me to refine that Phoenix Feather Sword!"


    "Bastard, that''s Premium-grade equipment! I bought it for £¤2,000,000!"


    The cries and curses outside the door were incessant, so much so that the receptionists who had been chased out became furious.


    Wu Mo was vaporizing their hard work, which had fused with all of the Rare and even Premium-grade equipment.<sub> </sub>


    Furthermore, there were many types of equipment provided by the military. They had yet to find time to refine them. If they burned them just like that, they would not be able to work on the military''s orders in the future.


    Wu Mo was standing under the cauldron. He slowly controlled the fire outlet and the temperature of every part of his furnace to an average level.


    Hepletely ignored the shouts that came from outside.


    "Sigh, this equipment looks pretty good."


    He had just adjusted the specific temperature and was about to rest for a while when a purple ray of light entered his eyes as he lowered his head. Wu Mo focused his eyes and saw a piece of Epic-grade equipment beside him that was ready to be burned.


    It was a pair of boots with shiny fur. There were many obscure patterns on the upper part of the boots, which emanated constant light.


    Wu Mo gently touched the surface of the boots and immediately discovered that there was a chill seeping out from the inside. There seemed to be an extremelyrge amount of energy in the boots.


    Moreover, there were white gemstones iid on the left and right sides of the upper part of the boots. A magic circle appeared to be attached to the inside of the boots too. It was obvious that it was finely crafted.


    Wu Mo''s interest was piqued. He lifted the boot and muttered to himself, "System, help me appraise this shoe. What stats do these boots have?"


    As soon as Wu Mo finished speaking, a familiar robotic voice rang out in his mind.


    [Equipment appraisalpleted. The information is as follows:


    [Type of Equipment: Footwear


    [Equipment Name: Blood Soul Boots


    [Equipment Grade: Epic


    [System Score: 57


    [Equipment Effect: (1) Blood Soul Formation. It absorbs a portion of the spirit energy within a ten-meter radius and breaks through the user''s limit to increase strength. Lasts for 30 seconds. Cooldown: 7 days.


    (2) Refraction. There is a 15% chance of deflecting an attack. Sessful deflection will cancel out arge amount of damage.


    (3) Night Walk. It increases a portion of the user''s movement speed.


    [Estimated value: £¤6,500,000


    [Additional Description: This equipment has been cast with an intermediate binding spell. Forcefully unbinding it may damage the equipment''s effect.]


    A semi-transparent panel appeared in front of him. When Wu Mo saw the equipment''s statistics and effects clearly, he gasped in surprise, breathing in the cold air.


    He did not expect this seemingly ordinary pair of boots to have such terrifying effects.


    Moreover, every single one of them was extremely practical, and the boots did not have a gaudy design.


    The system gave them an even higher score than the Mercury Cloak that he had created. From this, he could see how incredibly valuable the boots were.


    He did not know how the people from Unique Treasure Hall had obtained them.


    Wu Mo could not help but sigh in his heart. However, Wei Ying, who was standing outside the door, noticed that Wu Mo had picked up the boots, and his heart instantly stopped beating for half a second.


    He stared at Wu Mo with a hideous expression, and the corners of his eyes unwittingly twitched. He was afraid that Wu Mo would throw them into the furnace. But on second thought, as a four-star cksmith, Wu should know the actual value of that pair of boots.

 Chapter 53 Molten Iron

    A normal person would not burn such equipment.


    Just as the thought urred to Wei Ying, Wu Mo patted the dust off his boots and threw them into the cauldron without hesitation.


    "No!"


    Wei Ying did not have time to stop him. His muscles twitched, and he roared without a care for his image. After seeing his boots being swallowed by the mes, anger rose in his heart, and he almost bit his teeth to pieces.


    Seeing this, the tenth elder immediately stood in front of Wu Mo and stared at Wei Ying with vignce. He was afraid that Wei Ying would suddenly hurt Mr. Wu.


    "No, that''s Unique Treasure Hall''s treasure!"


    Wei Ying was about to explode in anger. He yelled hysterically and no longer looked as calm andposed as before. Instead, he resembled a shrew whose young had been stolen


    "I''m willing to buy each for £¤1,000,000. Get that b*stard to return the remaining purple equipment to me!" Wei Ying''s lips trembled as he shouted in a somewhat hoarse voice


    Seeing that the chief cksmith of Unique Treasure Hall, Wei Ying, had actually be so worked up, the tenth elder revealed a slight smile as he snorted coldly.


    "It''s better for you to save your money. Treasure Pavilion doesn''tck the £¤6,000,000 that could be earned from this."


    The tenth elder wore an arrogant expression as he stroked his beard and looked at Wei Ying, who had lost his reason.


    ''Who knew you would have such a day? This old man''s trip to Shanglin City has been quite rewarding.''


    The tenth elder could not help but sigh in his heart. The enmity between Unique Treasure Hall and Treasure Pavilion hadsted for nearly two years.


    Both sides had been constantly making small moves, but they had been unable topletely destroy the other. He did not expect the one to crush Unique Treasure Hall, in the end, would be a student who was not even twenty years old.


    It was truly a pity.


    As he thought about it, the tenth elder could not help but turn his head to Wu Mo. He discovered that of the original seven pieces of purple equipment on the ground, only three were left now. Seeing how excited Wu Mo was, it did not seem like he intended to stop.


    "B*stard!"


    The veins on Wei Ying''s forehead popped out. He watched helplessly as Wu Mo threw one piece of purple equipment after another into the cauldron. He had nowhere to vent the anger and hatred in his heart.


    His face turned pale. If not for the two cultivators supporting him from behind, he might have already copsed to the ground.


    "Stop him. Hurry... If we let him continue burning the equipment, Unique Treasure Hall will be finished!"


    Wei Ying''s voice was a little weak this time. It was as if he had been severely traumatized, and he was now a little nervous.


    The two cultivators looked at each other, and in the end, they only sighed.


    Their only mission was to protect Wei Ying. They had never intended to fight the tenth elder. He was a five-star cultivator, after all, and he was an elder of Treasure Pavilion''s headquarters. If they really fought, things would not end well for them.


    Although the Wei family treated them well, it was not enough for them to risk their lives.


    "Hmph, stop barking. If you''re capable, just fight," the tenth elder said indifferently with his hands behind his back.


    The two four-star cultivators were no one to him.


    Although he was dressed in in clothes, he had at least three pieces of Epic-grade equipment on him. If they actually fought, the two four-star cultivators would notst thirty minutes as his opponents.<sub> </sub>


    If they really attacked him, he could take the chance to deal with the two four-star cultivators.


    Once that happened, even the Wei family would be heartbroken. After all, four-star cultivators were just as difficult to nurture as cksmiths. If they were beaten to death before they could make a difference, their cultivation in the previous ten years would be thrown down the drain, and they would not so much as see a ssh.


    With the tenth elder and Gao Yue''s protection, Wu Mo''s process of melting the equipment went very smoothly in the hall.


    Not long after, the pile of equipment beside him was almost empty, and there were only a dozen pieces of Premium and Epic-grade equipment left.


    Throughout the entire process, everyone in Unique Treasure Hall could only watch as Wu Mo melted the equipment.


    The cksmiths were already paralyzed on the ground. They looked at Wu Mo as if he was a madman.


    After all, a sane person would never do such a thing.


    To melt the equipment into raw materials just to remove the binding on it was something that no one had done in the past 200 years.


    At this rate, all the equipment in Unique Treasure Hall would disappear and be melted into molten iron as well as various raw materials in less than ten minutes.


    At that time, there would be no need to talk about taking back the equipment and making aeback.


    At that time, the Wei family would definitely suffer a huge blow, and no one knew what the consequences would be.


    One could tell by looking at Wei Ying''s expression.


    Wei Ying was usually steady and prudent, but he was currently on the verge of going crazy from anger. When he saw Wu mo melt seven pieces of Epic-grade equipment into molten iron, he was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood.


    There was wet scarlet blood on the ground, and the mes from the cauldron lit everyone''s faces. At that moment, Unique Treasure Hall''s staff members were no longer united as one. It was every man for himself.


    The Wei family was no longer reliable, and the other chambers ofmerce also faced all kinds of problems. Based on future development, Treasure Pavilion would be an absolute presence in Shanglin city.


    If they wanted to seek good treatment and welfare, Treasure Pavilion was the best ce to go. As for whether the small chambers ofmerce could afford good perks, it depended on the cksmiths'' persuasion.


    Unless they went to a different city to develop, it was definitely not a wise choice to go against Treasure Pavilion.


    In the hall, all the equipment on the ground had disappeared. Wu Mo had mercilessly smelted those that emanated a purple glow too.


    By then, the fire in therge-scale cauldron was gradually extinguishing. Wu Mo climbed up thedder and opened the lid of the cauldron. In the next moment, mottled fog floated out of the lid, causing Unique Treasure Hall''s white ceiling to turn yellow.


    As the fog dispersed, the items in the cauldron were immediately exposed to everyone.


    They spotted an oval-shaped iron ball with a diameter of about 80 centimeters in the furnace.


    The surface of the iron ball was full of holes, and there were some red, as well as white, patches. With one look, you could tell that they were a fusion of several hundred pieces of equipment. They were the results of the cksmiths'' painstaking work.


    When the cksmiths saw the iron ball, their faces unwittingly twitched. Meanwhile, Wei Ying''s facial features became distorted as if his mind had been triggered again.


    Wu Mo snapped his fingers lightly, and the Interspatial Ring on his finger released a sh of white light. In the next second, the iron ball disappearedpletely into the Interspatial Ring.


    He took the opportunity to store the cauldron in his Interspatial Ring as well. After that, Wu Mo put away more than half of the stored materials. He could not fit any more in his ring, so he told the tenth elder to temporarily store the remaining materials in Treasure Pavilion.


    The tenth elder naturally did not refuse. On the contrary, he was ecstatic. After all, Wu Mo obviously decided on it because he trusted them.

 Chapter 54 Anger-Induced Heart Attack

    "It''s about time to go," Wu Mo patted the dust off his hands and said with satisfaction.


    The tenth elder immediately nodded. He took out the contract signed by the Wei family''s steward and quickly walked toward Wei Ying who was standing at the door.


    At this moment, Wei Ying''s eyes were red, and his long hair was disheveled. He looked like a trapped beast, and his eyes were fixed on Wu Mo.


    "Snap out of your daze. Hurry up and sign the contract. We don''t have time to waste here."


    The tenth elder pped the contract on the table and spoke impatiently.


    The two cultivators behind Wei Ying immediately took a step back when they saw the tenth elder approaching. Their faces revealed some fear.


    The cultivator on the right shook Wei Ying and whispered into his ear, "The master will decide everything. Please don''t lose your bearings, Sir!"


    After he said that, the cultivator slowly reached out and pressed his hand on Wei Ying''s back. As he gradually injected some spirit energy into his body, Wei Ying''s withered face finally regained some color.


    With the nourishment of the spirit energy, Wei Ying finally recovered. He took a deep breath, and his hands couldn''t help but tremble a few times.


    In the end, Wei Ying picked up the pen on the table and signed his name on the contract.


    "Hmph, that''s more like it. When you go back, remember to say hello to your master for me. If you continue to do good deeds in the future, remember to call Treasure Pavilion."


    The tenth elder picked up the contract and nced at it. Then, he handed a copy to Wei Ying.


    However, once he was done, he proceeded to speak in a teasing manner as if he still felt that Wei Ying was not miserable enough.


    Standing at the side, Gao Yue secretly rejoiced in his heart. It was all thanks to Mr. Wu and the tenth elder that Wei Ying could suffer such a great loss.


    Their precious Treasure Pavilion could finally hold its head up high!


    Their debts in the arena and from previous trifles had beenpletely settled.


    Hearing the tenth elder''s teasing words, Wei Ying''s face froze. He was extremely weak right then, and he had lost his previous arrogant appearance long ago.


    "We''ll take our leave first. You don''t have to see us off," Wu Mo waved his hand at Wei Ying and said with a smile.


    Wei Ying was seemingly numb. Although Wu Mo had provoked him, he did not do anything irrational.


    The three of them quickly walked toward the carriage parked by the road in the distance. But not long after, Wu Mo suddenly turned his head and said, "Oh, right, Treasure Pavilion wees skilled cksmiths to coborate with us at any time. Unique Treasure Hall may be gone, but people still have to eat."


    Wu Mo winked at the cksmiths who were at a loss and immediately entered the carriage.


    cksmiths who did not belong to Unique Treasure Hall immediately became excited. After all, Treasure Pavilion was the leading chamber ofmerce that would monopolize the foundry field in the future, and they would surely provide good benefits.


    Coborating with Treasure Pavilion was absolutely better than going to a small chamber ofmerce.


    Seeing the eager faces of the cksmiths around him,Wei Ying could not stand it any longer.


    He felt a cramp in his chest, and the blood in his veins flowed backward. His body became limp, and he fainted instantly.


    "Sir! Sir, wake up!"


    The two cultivators were shocked. They immediately stepped forward to help Wei Ying up, but they each found that his heartbeat had be extremely weak. It was as if it would stop beating at the next second.


    "F*ck! Hurry up and call an ambnce!"


    ...


    Meanwhile, the one who caused Wei Ying to be on hisst breath, Wu Mo, was leisurely looking at the scenery outside the carriage window.<sub> </sub>


    Wu Mo was in an extremely good mood after obtaining all the equipment and materials from Unique Treasure Hall.


    He slowly stroked the ring on his finger, and his heart was extremely calm.


    There were plenty of materials stored inside, including the Legendary Essence. Wu Mo believed that with these materials, he would definitely be able to refine Mjolnirpletely!


    After Wu Mo prepared the materials, he was eager to begin.


    Once the materials were stored in Treasure Pavilion''s warehouse, he immediately rejected all the tenth elder''s requests and walked toward the Divine Arms Academy.


    It was only 1.00 pm, and Wu Mo was confident that he would be able to forge the thunder god''s hammer before 12.00 am.


    To take advantage of the burning excitement in his heart, forging the hammer was a good n.


    However, he was only a four-star cksmith now. Although he had all the materials needed to forge a Divine weapon, Wu Mo did not have much confidence that he would seed.


    Even though he had transformed into a "scroll king" ever since he transmigrated, crazily replenishing his knowledge every day, a Divine weapon that could only be created by a seven-star cksmith and above was beyond him. Wu Mo was clueless.


    Even a workbench with backtracking capabilities could not close such a gap!


    At 1.05 pm, Wu Mo returned to his single dormitory.


    It was rtively hot in Shanglin City today, and there were not many people walking around the academy in the afternoon.


    Nevertheless, Wu Mo still met a few familiar faces along the way.


    Surprisingly, those students seemed to be somewhat fearful when they saw him.


    "It looks like everyone has already discovered my true strength."


    Wu Mo returned and entered his bathroom. He washed his face and looked at his wet face in the mirror. Wu Mo secretly cheered himself on.


    His predecessor had spent half a year in the dormitory to build a Divine weapon behind closed doors. Ultimately, it ended in failure.


    This time, Wu Mo had absorbed the experience of his predecessor''s failure. With the nearly twenty days of knowledge and the system''s help, he should be able to reach the Divine weapon''s domain.


    Just as Wu Mo closed his eyes to think, a buzzing sound came from his phone.


    Wu Mo opened his eyes and took out his phone to take a look. He found that Jiang Mengyao had sent him more than a dozen messages.


    "What on Earth are you doing? You won against Unique Treasure Hall. You should be happy that you''re not friendly with them.


    "Are you in your dorm? How about I treat you to a bowl of iced sour plum soup? I might even add some snacks.


    "You''re ignoring me again... You didn''t tell me anything. You don''t even treat me as a friend!"


    Looking at the messages, Wu Mo could read between the lines and sense how Jiang Mengyao felt when she sent them. She went from excited and happy to nervous and disappointed.


    "This girl is really..."


    Wu Mo sighed and immediately replied, "Sorry, I didn''t notice anything urgent earlier. I''m fine. As an apology, I''ll treat you to ice cream tomorrow."


    Wu Mo then pressed the send button. Before he could put his phone back into his pocket, it buzzed again.


    "Okay, it''s a deal. You can''t go back on your word. I want strawberry-vored ice cream. Oh, right, tell me, what did you promise Wei Jiaming today? I saw your cloak in a video. It was fine even though you were roasted..."


    Looking at her long list of questions, Wu Mo felt a headacheing on. He might as well go all out and pretend that he did not see her message. After all, thismunication app did not have any read receipts.

 Chapter 55 Refining Problem

    After Wu Mo met that "little girl" the next day, he would find an excuse to evade her. Right now, he just wanted to refine the Divine artifact. As for other matters, he could only put them on hold first.


    Returning to the living room of his single dormitory, Wu Mo ced the huge iron ball that he had obtained from Unique Treasure Hall on the floor.


    The surface of the ck iron ball was patchy, and one could tell that it was made from hundreds of different equipment materials. There were also green and blue lights mixed in, giving it a rather mysterious look.


    Although the iron ball''s surface was bumpy and rough, it was valued at over £¤10,000,000. While the method of melting the equipment into raw materials greatly reduced its value, the equipment had been bound by Unique Treasure Hall''s people. Aside from melting them into iron blocks, Wu Mo could not find a better choice.


    He ced the raw materials he needed on the coffee table.


    Wu Mo''s emotions were a littleplicated as he looked at the colorful raw materials piled up in front of him.


    When he first arrived in this continent, Wu Mo had already made ns to forge the thunder god''s hammer. Now, half a monthter, he had finally prepared all the materials.


    However, Wu Mo still had no idea whether he could forge the thunder god''s hammer or not.


    "I can only depend on fate."


    Holding the Legendary Essence that was emitting golden light in his hand, Wu Mo sighed and slowly closed his eyes.


    He calmed his mind, and not long after, all the senses in his body were abruptly cut off. He had already entered the Divine Forging Space.


    When he opened his eyes, his surroundings were in a state of chaos. There was no concept of time there. Other than eternal night, there was only the workbench and the furnace that acted as sources of light.


    Wu Mo noticed the huge iron ball and many colorful materials ced near the workbench.


    Due to therge amount, the items could not be stacked on the workbench.


    The rare materials emanated constant light like fireflies in the night sky.


    He took a deep breath and gazed at the golden glow in his hand with a determined look.


    The most important material, the Legendary Essence, had been found. It would determine his sess in refining Mjolnir.


    Let''s begin!


    Wu Mo went up to the workbench and felt cold energy lingering around his body. He calmed down, and his thoughts became active.


    He first put his Armor-piercing Short Staff on the table. Next, he examined the huge iron ball.


    The iron ball was only one meter in diameter, but it weighed more than 200 kilograms. It could not be ced into the furnace like that.


    Wu Mo first poured the dposition solution on the iron ball and waited for the metal to slowly separate. Then he used a golden stone knife to remove the ingots of mixed colors.


    The mes in the furnace continued to rise, and Wu Mo put the cut iron into the furnace. Soon after, the iron was dposed by the intense high temperature and melted into various raw materials.


    After purifying the 200-kilogram iron ball, Wu Mo took out the blueprint for Mjolnir. Then, he nned to pour the purified iron to make the hammer prototype.


    First, he would pour the purified molten iron into the mold and wait for it to cool down and take shape. Subsequently, he would refine various raw materials and finally pour the energy into the mold.


    However, there were many problems in the first step.


    The energy in therge iron ball was tooplex, and it was impossible to seed in one go. After the molten iron solidified, it quickly formedyers. Not only did theseyers block the transmission of energy, but their hardness was also not up to the standard.


    Looking at the failed product in front of him, Wu Mo could only choose to go back.


    However, he could not find a feasible solution for theplex energy within the molten iron.<sub> </sub>


    There were at least five types of metals in the molten iron, and among them were the energy of ores and various damaged array materials. They could not be separated by conventional means.


    Facing his first obstacle, Wu Mo was somewhat helpless. He began to wonder if there was a way to solve this issue.


    Manybat sses in the Divine Arms Academy had exined the steps of purification.


    It just consisted of raising the temperature of the me, burning the unimportant energy directly, or adding purification liquid to separate the materials with different densities.


    With that said, the energy of the iron ball that Wu Mo had calcined was tooplicated. It could not be removed via raising the temperature or using purification liquid.


    He had tried those methods before, but the results were difficult to describe in a word.


    Wu Mo stared at the molten iron in the crucible that had already started to cool down. His heart was anxious like ants on a hot pot.


    "System, do you have a way to solve this?"


    After some lengthy contemtion, Wu Mo searched through his memories but still could not find a suitable purification method.


    In the end, he could only ce his hopes on the system. After all, his current knowledge was still too little, and the Divine weapon was out of reach. Without external help, it would be extremely difficult toplete the forging of the Divine weapon.


    [Ding! The system is unable to find a solution within the host''s level unless the host joins the cksmith Association and obtains the help of a seven-star master cksmith.]


    Wu Mo''s question was quickly answered as the system''s voice echoed in his mind.


    However, after Wu Mo received his answer, he did not feel any joy in his heart.


    "Is that really the case?"


    A hint of disappointment shed across Wu Mo''s face, and the determination in his heart was also somewhat shaken.


    If the system was telling the truth...


    Then all of Wu Mo''s hard work so far would be meaningless. If he could not forge a Divine weapon with his own abilities, then he would not be helping his predecessor fulfill his long-cherished wish. Moreover, Wu Mo did not want toplete the forging of a divine weapon with the help of others.


    As a cksmith respected by tens of thousands of people, Wu Mo''s pride would not allow him to do such a thing.


    Moreover, seven-star and above cksmiths were all big shots in the city. How could the current Wu Moe into contact with those people?


    No matter how he thought about it, it was impossible.


    Rather than cing his hopes on those big shots who did not exist among themon folk, he might as well work harder and be a genius who was on equal footing with them.


    A while ago, he had heard on the news that a young man named Han Feng had be a seven-star cksmith at the age of twenty-five, and he had even forged a Divine weapon.


    If others could do it, why could he, Wu Mo, not do it too?!


    Thinking of that, Wu Mo clenched his fists and looked at the furnace again.


    There were only two reasons why the molten iron could not be purified: the temperature was not high enough, or the grade of the purifying liquid was not high enough.


    Right now, he could not obtain a high-grade purifying liquid or obtain the help of a seven-star magnate. Instead of worrying about this, he might as well think of a way to raise the temperature of the furnace!


    After all, this was a Divine-grade Forging Space, and the furnace provided by the system was definitely not an ordinary one. He did not believe that the highest temperature of the furnace could not exceed 1,700 degrees!

 Chapter 56 Premium-Grade Furnace

    Thinking of this, Wu Mo immediately began to prepare.


    He put on the heat-insting gloves and poured the molten iron in the crucible back into the furnace. Then, he immediately ced his hands near the fire exit and controlled the me in the furnace to roast the molten iron.


    As he injected the mental power in his mind into the furnace bit by bit, the temperature of the me began to rise.


    Soon, the color of the me, which had exceeded 1,500 degrees, gradually changed from red to orange.


    The molten iron inside slowly boiled up, and a lot of impurities were removed.


    However, at this rate, it would take at least three days to remove all the impurities in the molten iron. However, Wu Mo did not have that much time to waste, so when the temperature reached 1,700 degrees, Wu Mo abruptly transferred his spirit power at a faster pace!


    Tonight, he had to at least forge the prototype of Thor''s hammer. If he kept dying this, there would be no time.


    His hands trembled slightly, and he stared at the red me through the fire.


    As the temperature rose, the metal on the surface of the furnace was roasted until it was red, as though it had reached its limit.


    "This temperature is simply not enough!"


    Wu Mo gritted his teeth. He wanted to break through the temperature ceiling and strive to purify all the molten iron within an hour.


    In theplicated steps of forging, the purified materials were only a small part of it. He had to leave enough time to cast the prototype for Thor''s hammer after purifying the molten iron.


    Time gradually passed, and Wu Mo felt a little dizzy as if he had used up more than half of his spirit power.


    If he continued, he might lose consciousness due to the exhaustion of his spirit power, and the system might force him out of the forging space.


    He did not want to give up just like that, so he nned to hold on for a few more minutes.


    Enduring the dizziness, Wu Mo injected his spirit power into the furnace again. Using his spirit power as the raw material, he raised the temperature of the me again!


    The molten iron in the furnace began to boil intensely, and many gray impurities were separated. Then, they were turned into ash by the me and expelled.


    Just as Wu Mo was about to give up, he suddenly heard a voice in his mind.


    [The host''s spirit power has reached the required standard. The furnace has met the requirements for upgrading. Upgrading to the Premium grade requires 1,000 points. Would you like to upgrade?]


    The voice that appeared in his mind distracted him. At that moment, he was already on the verge of a mental breakdown. He even subconsciously thought that the voice in his mind was a hallucination caused by his fatigue.


    His footsteps were light. Wu Mo slowly lowered his hands and immediately chanted in his heart, ''Backtrack!''


    He knew that his current state was very dangerous. The system could force him out of the Divine-grade Forging Space at any time due to the exhaustion of his spirit power.


    Moreover, he did not have the energy to think about the information he had just received. For the sake of safety, Wu Mo made his move.


    Following a sh of white light from within the furnace, the boiling hot metal returned to its solidified state. Wu Mo''s unconscious state also disappearedpletely, and his gaze became bright and spirited. There was no sign of fatigue at all.


    [Backtrack sessful...]


    Wu Mo lowered his head to look at his slender fingers. He felt some lingering fear in his heart. If he had reacted a little slower earlier, he might have already been forcefully kicked out.


    Thinking of the system voice he had heard before, Wu Mo immediately summoned the system panel in his heart.


    Looking at the light blue panel that appeared before him, Wu Mo opened the notification panel. He realized that when his mind was chaotic just now, the system had given him three notifications.<sub> </sub>


    The first one was about upgrading the furnace, while the second and third one was about the influence points of the Armor-piercing Short Staff and the Mercury Cloak.


    [Six hours of influence points calcted. The Armor-piercing Short Staff, a piece of Rare-grade equipment, has a greater influence on the outside world. It directly affects 327 people and indirectly affects 2,870 people, gaining a total of 2,304 points.


    [The Premium-grade equipment, Mercury Cloak has a great impact on the outside world. It directly affects 341 people and indirectly affects 3,118 people. A total of 3,726 points have been obtained.]


    When Wu Mo saw the points obtained from the two pieces of equipment, his heart was filled with excitement. Points could be exchanged for many rare materials and even finished equipment in the system''s store. On top of that, he could also upgrade variousponents in the workbench.


    His two pieces of equipment had actually earned him a total of 6,032 points. These points were enough to exchange for an Epic-grade rare material or excellent Premium equipment.


    It was a free benefit for Wu Mo!


    "It appears that to get more points, the number of spectators must be enough," Wu Mo rubbed his chin and muttered to himself.


    He remembered thest time he took out his Interspatial Ring in Treasure Pavilion''s courtyard, there were only a dozen people around him. In the end, he only received 184 influence points.


    Through theparison of these several sets of data, Wu Mo could roughly guess that the influence points should be rted to the number of spectators and the effect of the equipment.


    The more people present, the higher the points he would receive. The better the grade and effect of the equipment, the more people would be in awe.


    Reaching this point, Wu Mo could roughly understand theposition form for influence.


    [Would you like to use 1000 points to raise the quality of the furnace to Premium grade?]


    The system did not hear Wu Mo''s reply earlier and asked mechanically.


    "Yes!" Wu Mo immediately replied.


    The next moment, the furnace before him was suddenly enveloped by a green light, and a string of numbers was suspended on it.


    [300 seconds to upgradepletion.]


    When Wu Mo saw the string of numbers, something dawned upon him.


    He pulled up the system interface and found that in addition to the store and personal attributes, there was an additional interface for the management of the workbench.


    Wu Mo opened it and found that in the workbench''s interface, there was an illusory design blueprint. Plus, each position on the design was marked with essories and functional information.


    The workbench, the mold, the furnace, the strengthening table, and so on... There were a total of more than a dozen functional areas, and some of them had been unlocked. Among these modules, only the furnace met the upgrade conditions, and the rest showed that they could not be upgraded yet.


    Wu Mo looked at the furnace that was being upgraded, and the system immediately gave him a description.


    [The functions of the Premium-grade Furnace are as follows...]


    The highest temperature it could reach was 3200 degrees. It had 14 burners and a control precision of about 10 degrees.


    It also had the additional effect of saving 25% of the user''s spirit power.


    As Wu Mo read the string of numbers in front of him, he felt a little surprised.


    He now knew that the workbench provided by the system could be upgraded separately, and the upgradedponents would have additional effects.

 Chapter 57 Mjolnirs Rough Form!

    No wonder the original furnace could only reach 1,700 degrees. Its grade was not high enough.


    Now, he had enough points, and his spirit power had been upgraded a few times, meeting the furnace''s upgrade requirements.


    Once the furnace was upgraded, the temperature ceiling would be raised and the impurities in the molten iron would be sessfully removed!


    Furthermore, a Premium-grade Furnace could save spirit power. It was a well-spent 1,000 points!


    Wu Mo was a little excited. He looked at the furnace surrounded by green light and was eager to try it.


    Five minutes passed in the blink of an eye.


    When the time was up, the green light on the surface of the furnace slowly disappeared.


    Then, the appearance of the sessful internal upgrade was revealed.


    Wu Mo stood at the side and observed it carefully, discovering many different changes.


    The size of the furnace had almost doubled, and there were eight more burners. Its interior was much more spacious, and its surface0 glowed with a metallic luster. It was much more exquisite than before.


    Seeing that the furnace''s upgrade wasplete, Wu Mo immediately began his unfinished work.


    In the tungsten bowl at the center of the furnace, the molten iron, which had been refined previously, had already solidified. There was still a lot of gray matter on the surface. Clearly, his refining work from before had returned to its original point.


    Wu Mo walked forward and ced his hands on the mouth where he could observe the me. Then, he focused his gaze. Soon, the spirit power in his mind poured into the furnace.


    Bang!


    A red me materialized in the furnace and directly swallowed the molten iron at the center.


    As he poured his spirit power into it, the temperature in the furnace grew higher and higher.


    Soon, it broke through the original 1,700 degrees.


    At that moment, Wu Mo was pleasantly surprised to find that the spirit power used to break through the temperature ceiling was much smaller. It should be thanks to the Premium-grade Furnace''s additional effect.


    A smile formed at the corner of Wu Mo''s mouth. He quickly calmed his mind and raised the temperature again.


    Two thousand!


    Two thousand and five hundred!


    By the time Wu Mo felt a little exhausted, the me''s temperature had already reached 2,500 degrees. The temperature probe outside had rotated nearly twice, and the me inside had also slowly turned yellow. The air in the furnace had been steamed and distorted.


    Meanwhile, the molten iron had already shrunk by more than half. Therge iron ball''s original weight had been nearly 300 kilograms, yet after the first refining, it was only less than 60 kilograms.


    Now that the remaining molten iron had been roasted at 2,500 degrees, the interior had already begun to boil intensely. Many impurities had been excluded, and only half of its weight remained.


    However, producing such a high temperature consumed a lot of spirit energy. Wu Mo''s current spirit energy was still within the standard of a four-star cksmith, so he could not hold on for long.


    After ten minutes of roasting, Wu Mo realized that the molten iron still had not reached its purest state, so he had no choice but to give up.


    As he poured the molten iron into the crucible, it bubbled and boiled continuously.


    Right then, Wu Mo had no other choice but to pour the membrane over it first.


    He poured the molten iron into the mold that had already been adjusted.


    The boiling molten iron entered the mold, burning the mold, which was made of a special metal, until it was red. Wu Mo then grabbed the other half of the mold and assembled itpletely. Then, he immediately threw it into arge bucket of cooling liquid.


    With a loud sizzling sound, white smoke immediately rose and blocked his vision.


    Wu Mo heaved a sigh of relief. Looking at the bubbling cooling pool, he shook his shoulders and prepared to warm up.<sub> </sub>


    About ten minutester, Wu Mo fished the mold out of the cooling liquid. First, he picked up the hammer used for forging and hammered around the mold. Next, he opened the sealed mold.


    At this time, the molten iron inside hadpletely condensed into a ck long rhombus with four corners.


    The rhombus-shaped hammer was 45 centimeters long and 26 centimeters wide. It was about 15 centimeters thick and weighed 18 kilograms.


    After he removed the mold, heid the ck rhombus on the workbench. It did not look like a Divine artifact at all.


    "Finally, I''ve made some progress. I hope what I did was right."


    Wu Mo pursed his lips. After thinking for a few seconds, he immediately picked up the three-dimensional rhombus-shaped object and threw it into the furnace.


    ng!


    The metal of the iron block and the furnace body collided with each other, creating a series of sounds.


    Wu Mo did not hesitate and immediately began the process of tempering the hammer.


    The hammer was only a rough iron block; it was a semi-finished product. If he wanted it to produce an effect, it had to be tempered at least three times!


    The me rose again, but this time, it only needed to be tempered. The temperature did not need to exceed 500 degrees for Wu Mo to easilyplete the calcination. It took about ten minutes for it to return to the furnace.


    At this time, the ck iron block had already been burned until it waspletely red. Wu Mo immediately removed the bottom te and ced it on the iron felt. Then, he picked up the hammer and struck it.


    The hammer was raised high, and then it fell heavily. The two collided, causing countless sparks to fly.


    Only a series of tinkling sounds could be heard.


    Wu Mo held the hammer tightly, and with great effort in his heart, he knocked on the iron block five hundred times in one go.


    The size of the iron block was furtherpressed, and the irregr bumps on the surface became smooth.


    After doing all this, Wu Mo threw the iron block into the furnace again, quenched it, and then forged it again. This processsted three times.


    The entire iron suddenly became smooth, and it looked more like a hammer. However, if he didn''t press on the handle of the hammer, he still couldn''t tell what it was.


    At this time, Wu Mo was already drenched in sweat. His right hand, which was holding the hammer, unwittingly trembled slightly.


    He had already undergone more than a week of physical training, but his endurance was still too poor. He could not forge more times!


    Hiss...


    Wu Mo took a deep breath and looked at the iron piece that had shrunk by one circle. He was ready to rest for a while before proceeding to the next step.


    The prototype had been made, but it was still far from the real Mjolnir.


    After fusing the Legendary Essence, drawing the magic array, and embedding the ore, he would need to strengthen his attributes and bind it with the highest level of blood.


    After going through the steps in his mind, Wu Mo turned around and focused on the golden light on the workbench.


    Legendary Essence!


    This was a very important material.


    Wu Mo walked forward and held the Legendary Essence in his hand. The golden light sparkled. Wu Mo narrowed his eyes slightly. He first ced the Legendary Essence beside the iron block. Then, he immediately took out the advanced forging pen and paper that the tenth elder had given him.


    The ten-centimeter-long forging pen was engraved with circles of purple patterns. The light turned into faint ripples and spread out. With just a casual nce, Wu Mo knew that this thing was definitely not an ordinary object, it seemed to be even better than the high-quality ones he had seen in the materials shop before.


    However, Wu Mo was not in the mood to study the grade of the forging pen and paper. He immediately unfolded the forging paper and began to draw a Spirit Transformation Array on it.

 Chapter 58 Advanced Spirit Transformation Array!

    The Spirit Transformation Array was one of the necessary arrays for forging high-level equipment.


    Since the energy of the material itself was not strong, if one needed to cast Epic-grade or above equipment, one had to inject a huge amount of Essence into it.


    The value of Epic Essence was usually around one million, while Legendary Essence was priceless, usually more than five million.


    Essence was a miracle of nature, containing an immeasurable amount of energy. However, it did not fuse with equipment, and could only be transferred to equipment through the Spirit Transformation Array.


    The Spirit Transformation Array was also a field of arrays with different levels.


    Wu Mo had only drawn a Tier 1 Spirit Transformation Array in the past, but Legendary equipment required at least Tier 2 arrays.


    Thus, this segment was also a test for Wu Mo.


    Moreover, Wu Mo had already expended arge amount of mental energy during the previous tempering, so the probability of sessfully drawing a Tier 2 Spirit Transformation Array was not high.


    Wu Mo picked up the forging pen and lightly dipped it in the ink. Then, he began to draw on the paper.


    In the beginning, Wu Mo''s strokes were steady, and the twists and turns were naturally stable. Butter, because his mental energy was empty, his ability to concentrate decreased, and even his hand trembled slightly as he held the forging pen.


    Very quickly, he weed his first failure.


    Up until now, Wu Mo had pretty much partially experienced the difficulty of forging a divine weapon.


    He had stayed in the forging space for a long time, but he had not even taken the third step.


    Just a Tier 2 Spirit Transformation Array was already as difficult as ascending to heaven, not to mention the subsequent Tier 3 binding method.


    At this moment, Wu Mo finally experienced the difficulty of being a low-level cksmith.


    Due to ack of spirit power, it was very difficult for them to forge equipment that was Rare grade or above.


    Premium-grade equipment and weapons required at least a Tier 2 array. Although he had trained his spirit power a few times by relying on the backtracking ability, with his current spirit power, he was still unable to easily draw a Tier 2 array.


    After failing more than ten times, Wu Mo''s originally excited expression had be somewhat numb.


    The reason he failed every time was not because of hisck of skills or knowledge reserves, but because of hisck of spirit power. It prevented him from hitting the target, and mistakes followed.


    Although he was deliberately conserving his spirit power, he still could not finish his drawing.


    After more than 60% progress, he could feel his mind be heavier with each stroke as if he was on the verge of copse again.


    "Backtrack!"


    White light shed around the workbench. Wu Mo looked at the nk paper in front of him and fell into deep thought.


    He could feel that the spirit energy in his mind would grow a little with every backtrack, but he could hardly feel the speed of improvement. There was less than half a month left before the graduation assessment. There was no time!


    After realizing that the difficulties before him could not be solved with hard work, Wu Mo put down the forging pen and began to think.


    He thought about it and immediately summoned the system interface.


    The only thing he could rely on now was the system. Perhaps only through the system could he find the answer to his problems.


    The improvement of spirit power could not be achieved overnight. He had to find other solutions!


    Wu Mo nced at his remaining points. He still had 5,486 points, enough for decent equipment or Epic-grade materials.


    Wu Mo narrowed his eyes slightly and began to think about the connection between points and spirit power.


    He had so many points now, which could be used to solve his current problem.


    He could either exchange them for equipment that could quickly recover spirit power or an essory that could increase the upper limit of his spirit power. In any case, the system had a wide variety of items in the mall, and equipment with all kinds of effects was avable.


    Wu Mo roughly looked around. His current points were enough for Premium-grade equipment with an exchangeable rating of 35-40. The effects of the equipment in this range were usually very good,parable to the level of his Mercury Cloak.


    However, most of them were to increase speed or strength, and only two of them met his requirements.<sub> </sub>


    Equipment Name: Provincial Governor''s Gloves, Premium-grade equipment


    Equipment Type: Hand Guard.


    System Score: 38 points


    Equipment Effect: Rest and Recuperate (recovers 5 spirit points every hour after wearing it).


    National Luck (can withstand a full-strength attack from a four-star or below cultivator. Cooldown: 1 day).


    Curtain Cloth Shoes, Premium-grade goods.


    Equipment Type: Shoes


    System score: 39 points.


    Equipment Effect: Wisdom Star (increases 2 spirit limit)


    Cloud Steps (equipped with 30% movement speed).


    After looking at the two pieces of equipment that were rted to spirit power, Wu Mo was a little dissatisfied with the attribute values.


    These two pieces of equipment were basically used for raising spirit power only, and they did not have the slightest bit ofbat ability. One look and one could tell that they were equipment provided for cksmiths.


    These two pieces of equipment required more than 5,000 points. Not only were they expensive, but their effects were also very simple.


    It cost so many points just to increase spirit power. There was simply no cost-effectiveness ratio.


    Flipping to the back, Wu Mo finally ced his target on the potions column.


    Although the effects of these potions mostlysted a mere four hours, their effects were not bad at all.


    Miniature spirit power recovery potions only required 200 points. After taking it, one would recover a little spirit power every five minutes.


    After seeing the effects of the potion, Wu Mo immediately chose to exchange for it without thinking.


    He nned to use those points at the critical moment. After all, it was not easy to get them. He would definitely spend them on the edge of a knife.


    The translucent interface in front of him then disappeared. Right then, a 20-milliliter tube-type potion appeared in Wu Mo''s hand. It contained blue potion. The material on the surface felt cold to the touch, and it was quite magical.


    Since he had gotten it from the system, Wu Mo did not have any worries when using it. After unscrewing the lid, he poured the potion directly into his mouth.


    It had a refreshing sweet taste. Once it entered his mouth, it immediately turned into a stream of heat that flowed into his limbs and bones.


    At this time, Wu Mo clearly felt that the dizziness in his mind dissipate a little. He immediately picked up the forging pen and continued his unfinished array!


    This time, because of the continuous supply of mental energy, Wu Mo seemed to be much calmer when he started drawing.


    Moreover, every stroke was natural, and it did not seem to be drawn by a student at all.


    By the time he reached thest dozen or so strokes, Wu Mo would pause for a few minutes for every stroke.


    After the mental energy in his mind was replenished, he continued to draw.


    Since each stroke had enough thought, Wu Mo did not fail in the final process.


    After thest stroke, a burst of light appeared.


    At that moment, Wu Mo immediately put the materials he had prepared on the drawn array.


    With the energy supply, the array was immediately activated, and the target was the Legendary Essence on the iron block.


    Wu Mo took a light breath and observed carefully.


    He could only see a translucent mist rising from the formation, drifting toward the Legendary Essence. In just a few breaths, the Legendary Essence waspletely wrapped inside.

 Chapter 59 Success?

    Then, threads of golden light drifted down the mist to the patterns of the formation and were injected into the iron block.


    At this moment, Wu Mo clearly sensed that the originally ck iron block was emitting a faint luster. After the material came into contact with the thick energy, it seemed to be quietly changing!


    The Spirit Transformation Array was tirelessly absorbing the Legendary Essence''s energy. Afterward, it poured all of the energy into the iron.


    As time passed, the golden light on the surface of the Legendary Essence became dimmer and dimmer, losing its luster. Meanwhile, the iron was like a dry tree branch that had received a water source, emitting the radiance of life!


    After half an hour, the Legendary Essence hadpletely disappeared, leaving only a white energy storage stone in the shape of a sea urchin.


    In nature, only the right time and ce could produce Legendary Essence after hundreds of years of umtion. At this moment, the energy inside the Essence had been injected into the iron block.


    A golden light slowly seeped out of the iron block, illuminating the white workbench with the golden light. It looked quite mysterious!


    Afterpleting the steps of energy conversion, Wu Mo did not stop at all and continued with the next step.


    In the chaotic forging space, Wu Mo stood alone beside the workbench that was emitting white light. The red firelight in the furnace behind him looked extremely lonely!


    He first spent two hours removing the impurities from the purple thunder source stone. Then, he made iy holes on both sides of the iron block and finally iid the purified Violet Thunder Origin Stone inside.


    Then, he drew a magic array with stable energy and drew all kinds of obscure runes on the iron hammer to bnce the energy in it.


    Wu Mo spent more than four hours on the two steps. After that, the energy consumption rate could no longer be recovered. Wu Mo could only bear the pain and spend 400 points to buy a small-scale potion.


    Afterpleting these steps, Wu Mo was already drenched in sweat. However, he looked very excited at this moment. Following the remaining two steps, the Divine weapon should be able to be forged!


    The next steps were the strengthening steps and the final blood binding.


    There were a total of three ways to strengthen the Divine weapon. They were the scroll enchantment, the grinding of the de, and the embedding of the gemstone.


    Currently, he had alreadypleted the embedding of the Violet Thunder Origin Stone. A sharp weapon would be the de. The hammer could only cause damage and could not be used to insert the de. Hence, the final strengthening step was to enchant the scroll.


    After the enchantment was done, the final effect of the equipment would be visible. Wu Mo had yet to master the highest level of binding skill, so he could only use the basic level to transition.


    The scroll-type enchantment was not difficult to cast, but because only weapons that contained spirit energy could be enchanted, it was usually not necessary to use such knowledge.


    As for Wu Mo, he had been training in arrays and rough forging for the past few days. He had never tried to make a scroll before.


    His knowledge in the area was limited to the contents of the academy. In the past three years, he had only mastered three methods of making low-level scrolls.


    Thus, it was difficult for him to use the thunder god''s hammer to strengthen other equipment!


    However, there was no other way. Wu Mo could only try his best.


    Among the materials from Unique Treasure Hall, Wu Mo had found quite a number of high-level scroll materials.


    He first took out a nk parchment scroll from his Interspatial Ring. Then, he found a few materials that werepatible with the lightning element.


    Next, he threw the materials into the furnace to purify them. Then, he ground the solid objects into powder. Then, he picked up a forging pen and began to draw on the parchment.


    The dark blue pigment immediately bloomed on the parchment, and Wu Mo immediately drew a few runes on it.


    The three scrolls that he now knew were the Beast Eye technique, the Essence Swallowing technique, and the me technique.<sub> </sub>


    Since these were all low-level enchantments, their effects were very poor. Even if the enchantment was sessful, it would only increase a small part of the effect.


    The Beast Eye technique was to increase a part of the dynamic vision. The Essence Swallowing technique slightly increased the speed at which weapons absorbed spirit energy, while the me technique increased the damage caused by mes.


    It was very ipatible with the attributes of Mjolnir.


    However, Wu Mo had no other choice. He could only try to draw a scroll first. After all, there were no scrolls avable in the shops. He could only rely on himself now.


    As he drew on the scroll steadily, Wu Mo slowly transformed the knowledge in his mind into pictures and graphics.


    The dark blue strokes continued to interweave on the parchment. Wu Mo first tried to draw the scroll. After all, a slight increase was akin to a little mosquito meat, but at the very least, it was better than the other two.


    Not long after, Wu Mo had almost finished drawing the scroll for the Essence Swallowing technique. There were only a few strokes left before he sessfully finished it.


    However, at this time, Wu Mo deliberately drew the wrong end of the talisman. Ripples of energy appeared,pletely burning the parchment into ck charcoal.


    Wu Mo immediately chose to go back to fifteen minutes ago.


    The ability to go back could only be used in a failed state. If he drew the final end of the talisman correctly, the enchantment for the scroll would be consideredplete.


    At that time, there would be no backtracking, and the attributes of the hammer body would not be much better.


    So, to be on the safe side, Wu Mo chose to start from the beginning.


    The reason why he first tried it was to check his own drawing ability. After discovering that he couldplete the low-level scrollpletely, Wu Mo guickly began to create a pattern.


    First, he drew the head of the augmentation spell, then he grafted it onto the body of the me spell. Finally, he pieced it together with the tail of the Beast Eye spell, intending to magically change it into a brand-new rune.


    However, because the effects of these three runes werepletely different, bncing the energy became an extremely difficult task.


    Later, Wu Mo began to create his own runes, drawing the scroll ording to his own ideas.


    However, even though thebination of runes was correct, Wu Mo did not understand the advanced structure of runes at all, so the process of creating his own runes was extremely difficult.


    In the next few hours, Wu Mo suffered repeated defeats and repeated battles. Through his failures, he summarized experiences that he had never learned before.


    In the end, he actually gained some progress in the creation of runes. He was able topletely create an independent symbol head and symbol body. However, he had yet toe up with a suitable symbol tail!


    During his repeated attempts, Wu Mo relied on the knowledge he had obtained and tried out almost every method he could think of. In the end, he was able topletely draw a brand-new rune.


    This rune did not belong to any scroll technique that he knew of. Moreover, its surface was actually flickering with a dark green light. Its grade seemed to be even stronger than any low-grade rune that he knew of!


    Feeling a wave of energy fluctuations from the sheepskin scroll, Wu Mo immediatelypleted thest stroke with excitement.


    Immediately after, a ray of light shed. In the next moment, the runes on the scroll immediately rose up and were directly imprinted on the iron block at the side!


    Right at this moment, all the hair on Wu Mo''s body instantly stood up.


    On the workbench in front of him, an invisible wave instantly shot out from the center of the iron block, directly scattering the surrounding chaos!!

 Chapter 60 Violet Thunder Hammer, Deficiency

    Right then, a ghastly white color entered Wu Mo''s eyes.


    He could not help but gape, his expression filled with shock.


    The chaotic energy around him, which had been dispersed by the violent fluctuations, had been refilled.


    However, even the mysterious forging space had been greatly affected. It could be seen just how powerful this equipment was!


    Wu Mo''s heart was beating very fast. He could not wait to look at the more than ten-kilogram-heavy square-shaped iron block. He discovered that the golden glow around the iron block had be much denser!


    The surface of the iron block that had fused with mithril was bright silver. There were also many mysterious runes carved on both sides. Wu Mo could feel the abundant energy within. At this moment, he was so excited that his hands could not help but tremble.


    "System, appraise the equipment," Wu Mo said impatiently after he saw theplete hammer body.


    This time, the system remained silent for seven to eight seconds before presenting arge string of data.


    [Equipment appraisalpleted. The attributes are as follows.


    [Equipment Type: Hammer-type weapon


    [Equipment Name: Violet Thunder Hammer


    ''[Equipment Grade: Epic


    [System Score: 65 points.


    [Equipment Effect: Blessing of Fate (use it to forge equipment, there is a small probability of obtaining an additional equipment effect.)


    [Violet Thunder Power (the user isrgely immune to thunder damage, and the attack will cause a high amount of thunder attribute damage.)


    [Legendary Weapon (charge up to summon thunder attack, causing a full-strength attack from a five-star cultivator. Cooldown: 1 day)


    [Enchantment Rune-fog (standing still for more than five seconds can greatly reduce the user''s aura and presence.


    [Additional Note: This weapon is in a broken state. It can only be used whenbined with the handle of the hammer.


    Wu Mo originally had a happy smile. However, when he saw the grade indicated in the report, the smile on his face suddenly froze.


    He became extremely disappointed.


    He could not believe it. He clearly saw the weapon emitting a green light earlier. How could it only be purple grade!!


    The system seemed to have figured out the reason for his mood swings and immediately gave a reasonable exnation.


    [The reason why the Violet Thunder Hammer cannot be a Divine weapon is as follows: The material is not pure enough. Currently, the purity is 81%. With the host''s current ability, it is impossible topletely purify it.


    [The weapon cannot form Mjolnir at the moment. It alsocks the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Lightning. If it can be tempered by the heavenly lightning, it will reach the pure state!]


    After hearing the system''s exnation, Wu Mo''s emotions became a little more stable.


    Nevertheless, after learning that he had been busy for more than ten hours and still had not refined a Divine weapon, Wu Mo would be lying if he said that he was not disappointed.


    At this moment, his entire body was exhausted, and his spirit energy had long depleted.


    Since the forging had ended, he was not as focused as before. Now, he felt ufortable everywhere.


    Closing his eyes, he slowly exited the forging space. Looking at the familiar yellowish ceiling, Wu Mo felt his eyelids be heavy.


    "Nine Revolutions Heavenly lightning... This thing can be encountered but not sought. How can it be found so easily!"


    Wu Mo Sighed. He didn''t know how to let the hammer body be tempered by the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Lightning.


    Just as he was thinking hard, he heard the phone on the bedside cab ring. There was a new unread message.


    Could it be Jiang Mengyao again?<sub> </sub>


    Wu Mo looked out of the window and could not help but squint his eyes due to the strong light.


    He had stayed in the forging space for at least 14 hours, but the time flow outside had not even reached 20 minutes.


    He was used to staying in the dark, so he was not used to the fact that it was still the afternoon. He was in a daze for a long time.


    Sitting up from the bed, Wu Mo picked up his phone and took a look. He realized that the message was from the Divine Arms Academy''s study group.


    Professor Zhou Yan:@all personnel, the Divine Arms Academy will be conducting a mid-term inspection tomorrow. All students must be present!


    Student A: Received!


    Student B: + 1.


    After seeing the ss notification in the group, Wu Mo frowned slightly.


    He did not expect this day toe so quickly.


    The mid-term inspection, as the name suggested, meant that the teacher would inspect the weapons made by the students for the graduation assessment and eliminate all cheating.


    The students would disy the rough parts of their continuous casting, while the teacher would mark the rough parts of the weapons to ensure that the final equipment that appeared in the graduation assessment was the same piece of equipment!


    "That iron block should be able to pass the inspection..."


    Wu Mo was a little speechless as he looked at the messages that shed across the screen one after another, Wu Mo was a little speechless.


    ...


    The next morning, in the ssroom that resembled a staircase in the Divine Arms Academy...


    Professor Zhou Yan appeared on the podium in a formal outfit. There were also professors from other groups at the side, jointly conducting a fair mid-term inspection.


    The students around the age of 20 appeared a little excited, while some had confident smiles on their faces, as though they had long been prepared.


    In the fourth row of seats by the window, Jiang Mengyao looked at the empty seat in front of her in worry.


    "Is Wu Mo still skipping ss at a time like this?"


    She frowned slightly, clutching her phone tightly under the desk with her right hand. On the screen was a message urging Wu Mo to hurry over.


    The students sitting not far away also noticed that there were two vacant seats in the ssroom. One belonged to Wei Jiaming, who was recuperating in the hospital and had already gone through the procedures to leave the school. The other was Wu Mo, who was usually very antisocial.


    "Ahem, students, please be quiet for a moment. It''s time for ss. The mid-term inspection this time will bepleted by me, Director Yu, and Professor Kong."


    Professor Zhou Yan gently sped her hands, and the whispers in the ss immediately dissipated. All the students looked at the podium seriously.


    The three people standing on the podium were all important educators in the Divine Arms Academy. No one was willing to cause trouble at such a special time.


    Zhou Yan nced outside the ssroom and found that the field was still empty. Not even a single person was there.


    She was a little angry. Was Wu Mo really going to give up on himself? He was not going to even participate in the mid-term inspection?


    Just as she was thinking, the middle-aged professor beside her immediately reminded her with a smile, "Professor Zhou, please tell the students about the mid-term inspection."


    p Zhou Yan appeared a little awkward, but she quickly collected herself and looked outside the door, unwilling to give up. She still did not see Wu Mo''s figure, so her heart immediately sank.</anda>


    "The purpose of the mid-term inspection this time is to better understand thepletion status of the students'' graduation designs. It''s called the mid-term inspection, but in fact, there are only less than ten days left until the final graduation assessment."


    "All of you must hurry up with your progress. Before the graduationpetition arrives, you must produce the equipment that you have designed. This is rted to your future. It can also be considered as putting a perfect end to your hard work over the past three years."


    Professor Zhou Yan picked up a chalk on the lectern table and wrote the word "perfect" on the ckboard. Then, with a serious expression, she said, "On the day of the graduation assessment, as usual, various majorpanies that are coborators of the academy will being to observe. I hope that all of you can perform to your best and help our Divine Arms Academy stand out."

 Chapter 61 Mid-Term Inspection

    "During the assessment, outstanding students will be epted by the majorpanies in the world in advance, and they will be guaranteed employment. For example, the Tianji Institute, which provides equipment for the battlefield, and the Tool Soul Academy, which has many talented students, will be able to have the best future as long as they are selected by these institutions


    "Moreover, the National Artifact Research Department will send people to guide you. The academy has already paved the way for you. Whether you can reach a high position or not will depend on your ability."


    Zhou Yan spoke patiently, and the audience was so excited that their blood was boiling. Some of them were so excited that their hearts almost jumped out of their chests.


    "Professor, if we perform well, won''t we have a chance to go to the National Artifact Research Department?"


    Below the stage, a young man dressed in a cksmith''s uniform raised his hand and spoke excitedly.


    Everyone immediately focused their eyes on Professor Zhou Yan''s face, hoping to get a definite answer.


    The moment Professor Zhou Yan heard her student''s question, she was stunned for a second. Then, she shook her head with a smile and said, "Now, you should set your sights on the Tianji Institute or the Tool Soul Academy. ces like the National Artifact Research Department aren''t ces that you cane into contact with right now."


    "Everyone in that ce is like a dragon. Even the lowest rank is a six-star cksmith. Even I''m not qualified to enter. Plus, it''s very rare to get a six-star cksmith''s guidance. Maybe with some guidance, I can advance to a five-star cksmith."


    After listening to Professor Zhou Yan''s exnation, the students immediately looked enlightened. They could not help but look forward to the graduation assessment soon.


    On the podium, the two middle-aged instructors revealed joyful expressions. Looking at the excited faces of these students reminded them of themselves twenty years ago.


    Zhou Yan immediately pped her hands and took out a marked instrument from her bag, "Each student, please take out the rough parts of the equipment that you have refined and put them on the table. A professor will help you check them one by one. If there are any problems, you cane to the three of us at any time."


    At that moment, the ssroom became lively.


    With Professor Zhou Yan''s signal, the students immediately took out the equipment that they had brought with them.


    After seeing the difference between their equipment, the students immediately began to discuss.


    "Hey, your longsword is impressive. Even though it''s just the rough parts, you can clearly see the difference. As expected of our group''s top student in forging!"


    At this time, a strange fluctuation spread in the ss. The surrounding people were immediately attracted by it. They found that the longsword on Qian Rong''s table was emitting a thick blue light.


    "This Qian guy has a ton of money. He came up with a graduation design that actually uses threaded gold to make a rough shape. He''s too much!"


    The rough shape of the longsword made of threaded gold immediately attracted the attention of many people. However, at this time, the crowd discovered an even more powerful piece of equipment that was announced to the public. That was the Feather Armor forged by the ss monitor in the first row!


    The armor was not heavy. Instead, it appeared very light, and its surface was emitting a gentle blue light. The feathers on the armor''s surface were connected from head to tail, interlocking with each other. It was enough to show that the opponent''s forging skills were superb!


    Right then, even Director Yu, who was on the stage, was amazed by the Feather Armor. He could not help but exim, "Professor Zhou''s students are really intelligent. They''re capable of making such a marvelous item at such a young age!"


    Professor Zhou, who was standing at the side, had a casual smile on her face. She seemed to be thinking about something, and her gaze was uncertain.<sub> </sub>


    "The Tang family''s grandsons are all cksmiths. Under the influence of aristocratic families, it''s normal that they can make such equipment. What''s so great about it?"


    At this moment, a boy in the ssroom who did not have a good rtionship with the ss monitor spoke with a disdainful expression. Then, he immediately took out the rough outline that he had made.


    When everyone heard someone ridicule the ss monitor who had a good rtionship with most people, they immediately turned around unwillingly. However, their gazes were attracted by the faint green light on the table. All the surrounding students opened their mouths in surprise.


    On the podium, Professor Kong, who had not said anything earlier, stood straight. At this point, he also seemed a little moved. "To actually see Premium-grade equipment during the mid-term inspection this time... The students of this batch are amazing!" he said with a surprised expression.


    Everyone''s gazes converged and discovered that the boy who had spoken arrogantly had a rough dagger ced on the table. Due to the quenching and forging of the weapon, it had lost some of its heat. Not only was its appearance not smooth, but even its de was slightly distorted. From the looks of it, its forging level was not evenparable to a three-star weapon.


    However, the gem embedded in the dagger was constantly emitting light, nourishing the entire de. It appeared extremely strange.


    "What is this thing? How can it be considered Premium-grade equipment?"


    A boy with e all over his face snorted coldly. He was the ss monitor, Tang Mu''s, best friend. He did not want to see this guy who did not respect the ss monitor gain the limelight.


    When the boy next to the ss monitor said that, the other boy immediately red at him and cursed, "What would ackey like you know? This equipment of mine has been sent to be appraised. It''s genuine Premium-grade equipment. Also, let me tell you, the gemstone embedded in my dagger is an Epic-grade material, Darkfrost Stone. You wouldn''t understand even if I told you, country bumpkin!"!


    His words caused the boy to be speechless for a long time. His face was flushed and, he was so ashamed that he wished he could find a hole to hide in.


    The ss monitor beside him immediately stood up from his seat when he saw the situation. His expression was ice-cold as he said, "How can an ordinary family like yours afford Darkfrost Stone? Do you think we''re fools?"


    The gazes of the surrounding people immediately became doubtful. The ss monitor''s words made sense. The price of Darkfrost Stone was at least 1.5 million. An ordinary family probably would not be able to afford it in ten years.


    However, the young man did not panic. Instead, he proudly said, "I picked it up from the market. Hehe, you must be jealous. You''re not so lucky!"


    Seeing that things in the ssroom had be more and more chaotic, Zhou Yan immediately stopped the riot.


    In order to prevent such a situation from happening again, she immediately picked up the marking instrument and walked down the stage, ready to start the mid-term inspection.


    The two instructors standing at the side could not help but sigh in their hearts upon seeing that the equipment taken out by the students was not ordinary. The standards of the students in Group One were indeed high.


    Not long after, Professor Zhou Yan marked all the equipment present. However, when they registered the information in the register, they discovered that the information in Wu Mo''s column had always been nk.


    Only then did everyone realize. Wu Mo had note to ss yet!


    "Psst, that guy named Wu Mo isn''t here yet. Could it be that he''s used to skipping ss?" a thin young man in the ssroom said with a smile.


    "I think it''s no surprise. It''s possible that Wu Mo didn''t do anything at all. Without his work, he wouldn''t be able to attend this mid-term inspection."

 Chapter 62 What Divine Weapon Did He Make Out Of An Iron Lump In Half A Month?

    The surrounding students began to make guesses as well. They all had different opinions.


    "Last time, I saw him submit a design called a Divine weapon to Professor Zhou. Could that guy be building a car behind closed doors again? Is he going to make some Divine weapon?"


    "Huh? Wu Mo really hasn''t changed at all. He still hasn''t learned his lesson from his previous failure."


    The mocking voices of the crowd became more and more obvious. Jiang Mengyao bit her lip. The more she heard, the more she felt that something was wrong.She did not know why, but after hearing that someone mock Wu Mo, she actually stood up from her seat and retorted without hesitation.


    "What kind of ability is it to speak ill of others behind their backs? No matter how bad Wu Mo is, he still defeated the Unique Treasure Hall chamber ofmerce in front of the media and forged a cloak that couldn''t even be burned by fire. But what about you guys? Aside from speaking ill of others behind their backs, what else can you do?!"


    Jiang Mengyao''s words caused the discussion in the ssroom to stop abruptly. Everyone turned their heads to look at Jiang Mengyao. Some were puzzled, while others were surprised.


    After Jiang Mengyao said those words, the confidence in her heart disappeared without a trace. When she saw that everyone was looking at her, her face instantly turned red, and she quietly sat down in her seat. Even her ears turned red.


    Knock knock...


    Just as everyone else was about to say something, there was a knock on the door. Right then, the students realized that Wu Mo had actually appeared outside the door and was looking at them with a smile on his face.


    However, that smile seemed to be a little cold and piercing!


    "Wu Mo, today is the mid-term inspection. Why are you sote?"


    After Zhou Yan heard the knock on the door, she immediately turned around and saw Wu Mo. Although her expression was solemn and a little unhappy, her brows were rxed.


    "I''m sorry. I was dyed by some matters," Wu Mo said apologetically.


    He did not want to say that he had worked for more than ten hours to build an artifact yesterday and that he had gotten upte because he was too tired. Instead, he found another reason to prevaricate.


    No matter how he exined it, there would be people who would think that it was intentional. In his eyes, it was better to leave some things unexined.


    Zhou Yan was silent for a few seconds and tly said, "The students have justpleted the registration and recording of the equipment''s information. It''s not toote for you toe now. Hurry up and take out your rough equipment for the graduation assessment."


    Although Professor Zhou was somewhat dissatisfied with Wu Mo, she still chose to help him in order not to let him lose the opportunity to participate in the graduationpetition.


    The two professors standing at the side could not help but look at Professor Zhou''s actions. One should know that this kind of mid-term inspection was very important. Under normal circumstances, beingte by ten minutes would be regarded as an automatic forfeit.


    But now that Wu Mo was alreadyte by more than ten minutes, Professor Zhou chose to forgive his tardiness. It was really surprising!


    However, because the main organizer of this inspection was still Zhou Yan, the two professors did not stop him although they felt that it was inappropriate.


    The two of them sized up Wu Mo and were somewhat curious about what kind of graduation work this youth who had defeated Unique Treasure Hall would produce.


    Before everyone''s gaze, Wu Mo calmly walked to the side of the podium and immediately took out the hammer body, which he had refined yesterday, from his Interspatial Ring to ce it on the podium''s table.


    A white light shed, and in the next second, a silver 40 cm long and 25 cm wide iron block appeared on the podium. When everyone saw the true face of Wu Mo''s graduation work, they immediately had strange expressions.


    "Pfft... F*ck. Hahaha, what the hell is that thing?!"


    On a seat not far from the podium, a fat boy could not help but ridicule him.


    Immediately, everyone in the ssroom burst intoughter. In contrast to the many pieces of equipment ced on the table, the silver iron looked especiallyical.


    "What kind of iron lump is this? I thought he would bring out something good!"


    "This is the Divine weapon that he forged? He couldn''t have spent half a month to make an iron ingot, right?"


    "Hey, that''s not true. Student Wu even iid gemstones on both sides of the iron ingot. At least he did a good job with the details. Hahaha."<sub> </sub>


    "You have to be the one to make the funny piece, Wu Mo!"


    Laughter rose and fell in the ssroom. At this moment, even the three professors on the stage were a little dumbfounded.


    Zhou Yan looked at Wu Mo''s serious look and wondered if he had taken the wrong thing.


    After all, they were very close to the graduation assessment now. Most of the mid-stage equipment had already taken shape.


    Even if the equipment was notplete, there would still be a shape.


    If there was no shape, there would at least be a frame.


    But what was up with Wu Mo taking out an iron ingot?!


    Was he really going to give up?


    Zhou Yan''s face was pale as she looked at Wu Mo with disappointment.


    Facing the professor''s gaze, Wu Mo did not exin anything. He only said in a low voice, "It''s normal for you all not to be able to see the effects of this equipment now. You will naturally be able to see it on the day of the graduation assessment."


    Seeing Wu Mo''s serious expression, Zhou Yan could only choose to believe him. She used the equipment to leave a mark on the iron block. Looking at it from a close distance, she realized that the two ends of the iron block were actually engraved with runes that even she did not recognize.


    ''Could it be that Wu Mo is really working hard on his graduation work?''


    With a question buried deep in her heart, Zhou Yan gestured for Wu Mo to put the item away. Then, she earnestly said, "I agree with your request, but your progress is now behind the other students. You must work hard to catch up and not let down the three years you spent in the academy!"


    Wu Mo did not hesitate and directly put it into the ring. His heavy Violet Thunder Hammer had not been bound, so he needed to be careful!


    After nodding, he returned to his seat.


    Before he sat down, he noticed that Jiang Mengyao was giving him a worried look. The two short swords on her table were her works for the assessment.


    "Is this girl ming me for not replying to her messages?"


    Wu Mo sat down guiltily and pretended to be focused on reading his textbook.


    Jiang Mengyao pursed her lips and looked a little hurt. It was obvious that Wu Mo had done something wrong, but he pretended to be the victim.


    She thought about it for a long time and started to worry that Wu Mo wouldn''t be able to catch up with his progress and graduate normally.


    She didn''t listen to a few sentences from the professor throughout the entire ss. She was thinking about Wu Mo who was pretending to study hard in front of her.


    At the thought of this, she became flustered and could not help but send a message to Wu Mo.


    "Yesterday, you said that you wanted to treat me to ice cream. Does your offer still hold?"


    The phone in Wu Mo''s pocket vibrated. Wu Mo raised his head to look at Professor Zhou, who was still talking about things to take note of. When he realized that she did not notice him, he immediately lowered his head to look at the screen.


    Looking at the row of small, emotional words, Wu Mo sighed in his heart and immediately replied, "Don''t worry. I''ll bring you out for ice cream at noon. I''ll fill you up!"


    Shortly after he sent the message, Jiang Mengyao, who was originally full of worry, suddenly revealed a shy smile. She looked like a little woman.


    Jiang Mengyao tilted her head and tried hard to suppress the smile at the corner of her mouth. She thought that she must eat wu mo up in the afternoon. After all, during this period of time, she had been looking at Wu Mo from afar through the window every night.


    "Worrying about him every day hasn''t been in vain. Hmph..."

 Chapter 63 Sudden Rainstorm And Muffled Thunder

    Wu Mo did not know what Jiang Mengyao was thinking at the moment.


    He only felt that it was close to the graduation assessment, but his Mjolnir was still notpleted.


    Things like the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Lightning could be encountered but not sought. If it could not be encountered, he should think of other ways to solve it.


    The morning ss ended very quickly.


    Professor Zhou Yan packed up the textbooks and subconsciously nced at Wu Mo. Seeing that he was reading with his head lowered, she did not say anything and turned around to leave the ssroom.


    After the professor left, the whispers in the ssroom immediately turned into a torrent of discussion.


    "Sigh... The graduation assessment is in two days, but I''m not done. I don''t know if I have enough time."


    A student stood up, feeling a little gloomy.


    "That''s you. I''ve done mine long ago. I''m just waiting for the final part of the mosaic!"


    Everyone was whispering and chatting happily.


    But Wu Mo turned a deaf ear and did not care about what these people said at all.


    "How about it? Are we going to eat ice cream now?"


    Jiang Mengyao got up from her seat in excitement and ran to Wu Mo as she spoke with a face full of anticipation.


    Wu Mo was speechless by this impatient girl.


    They had not even had lunch yet. Why were they eating ice cream now?


    "Let''s eat first."


    The two of them left the ssroom one after another and walked toward the cafeteria not far away.


    After lunch, Wu Mo and Jiang Mengyao separated.


    They prepared to return to the dormitory to rest for a while.


    After all, the weather was getting hot now. If they didn''t rest well at noon, it was very likely that they would be distracted during the afternoon sses.


    Although he couldn''t learn much in ss, he could only endure it for a few days in order to graduate sessfully.


    At 2.00 pm, Wu Mo and Jiang Mengyao came to a dessert shop not far from the school.


    They found a seat by the window and sat down. Looking at the threeyer ice cream ball in Jiang Mengyao''s Cup, Wu Mo smiled in his heart.


    "You''re holding on to the rhythm of getting back what you owe."


    "Hmph, it''s not easy toe here. I have to taste everything," Jiang Mengyao sat opposite Wu Mo and said with a smile.


    Wu Mo tasted it while looking at the passersby outside. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked immediately.


    "By the way, when you forged the two thin swords, did you notice anything wrong?"


    He asked this because, during thest group discussion, he discovered ws in Jiang Mengyao''s materials.


    He added something to stabilize the energy of the materials. This way, the sess rate of the forging would be much higher.


    During the mid-term inspection, the two swords that she took out had already been fully formed, and the energy inside was rtively stable.


    Jiang Mengyao should have already noticed it, but she did not mention it during the entire morning.


    Wu Mo was curious, so he asked.


    Hearing Wu Mo''s words, Jiang Mengyao raised her head in confusion, "Oh? Is that so?"


    Uh...


    "Alright!"


    Wu Mo waspletely speechless. This girl actually did not notice that there was an additional material in his list of materials during the forging process.


    ? It was simply too much.


    After the two of them finished eating dessert, Wu Mo paid and immediately walked toward the Divine Arms Academy together with Jiang Mengyao.


    The afternoon ss was rtively less intense.


    Apart from a portion of theoretical knowledge, there was also a practical battle drill for the mold segment.


    Some of the other students were still a little unfamiliar with this segment.


    But to Wu Mo, who was already an experienced veteran, it was as easy as flipping his hand and easily getting full marks.<sub> </sub>


    By the time the afternoon ss ended, it was already past five in the evening.


    Wu Mo and Jiang Mengyao left together.


    When they reached the entrance of the boys'' dormitory, the two of them waved goodbye.


    Seeing Jiang Mengyao leave happily, Wu Mo''s mouth held a trace of joy as well.


    Back in the dormitory.


    Wu Mo took off his coat and sat down on the couch.


    At this time, dark clouds were gathering outside the window, and the chirping of insects in the bushes behind the dormitory building became more frequent.


    "Phew, looks like it will rain today. I just don''t know if there will be lightning."


    Wu Mo leaned against the couch, turned on the television, and decided to rx for a while.


    [Ordinary lightning cannot purify materials. Only Nine Revolutions Heavenly Lightning can temper equipment. Host, please distinguish the two.]


    The system''s voice sounded at the right time, helping Wu Mo to solve his misunderstanding.


    "But the graduation assessment is the day after tomorrow. The Nine Revolutions Heavenly Lightning you mentioned doesn''t even have a shadow."


    Wu Mo was a little depressed. There wasn''t much time left. If he could not solve it, he did not know how to deal with it.


    Just as he was thinking about how to solve this problem, he suddenly saw the TV in front of him broadcasting urgent news.


    A reporter from the central TV station reported, "One of the strongest martial artists in the world, Feng Yu, has broken through and shattered the void, attracting nineyers of heavenly lightning.


    "Therefore, there is a high probability of a thunderstorm happening tonight. Please don''t panic. Try to stay indoors and don''t spread rumors..."


    Hearing the report on television, Wu Mo was a little surprised.


    He knew that the strength of a rtively powerful martial artist was enough to crack open a stone tablet, or even a mountain of graves.


    But he did not expect that someone was so powerful that he could attract heavenly tribtion!


    While he was surprised, he heard a ssh, and suddenly, a torrential downpour appeared outside the window.


    The raindrops that fell from the sky connected together, blocking more than half of his vision.


    Apanied by a gust of wind, the raindrops fell diagonally into the room.


    Wu Mo immediately stood up and prepared to close the window. However, a white light instantly entered his eyes, illuminating the empty space in front of the male dormitory as if it was daytime!


    "Boom!"


    A thunderous sound rang in his ears. Wu Mo''s heart trembled slightly, and he immediately closed the window.


    At this time, the clouds outside the window were dense. At the same time, the wind and rain were mixed together, and bright lights appeared in the sky from time to time. It could be called lightning and thunder!


    Such weather was the best time to capture the lightning element.


    Moreover, it was nowte at night, so his actions should not be known by others.


    Thinking of this, Wu Mo immediately took out the semi-finished iron block of Thor''s hammer.


    He carried it and ran outside.


    It was better to do it now thanter.


    Although the lightning outside was still dense, the school buildings were designed by the great forger, and each building was equipped with a high-quality lightning rod.


    The existence of the lightning rod would make the lightning in this area disappear quickly.


    Therefore, it was not a good time to dy. Before Wu Mo had time to open an umbre, he directly rushed out of the dormitory.


    The sound of the torrential rain rang in his ears. His vision seemed to be blocked by the thick fog, causing Wu Mo''s speed to slow down a lot.


    However, at this moment, Wu Mo already had a definite target. The ce he was going to collect lightning this time was the tallest building in the school, the observatory! !


    Only there would he be able to extract the elements with a high probability.


    At this moment, the sky seemed to be filled with ink. The rain sshed on the ground, causing countless sshes.


    At this time, many students closed the windows and went back to their bedrooms to sleep.


    The entire male dormitory building was extremely empty. Only Wu Mo was carrying an iron block as he ran on the campus.

 Chapter 64 Wu Mo Shows The People His Divinity, Shocking Everyone!

    At the same time, Jiang Mengyao was standing by the tightly shut window. Through the thick curtain of rain, she was looking in the direction of the dormitory building where Wu Mo was.


    Right then, she was surprised to find that Wu Mo was holding something in his hand. He seemed to have gone crazy as he rushed out of the dormitory building and ran in the rain.


    Seeing this scene, Jiang Mengyao immediately had a bad feeling. Wu Mo was still going out in this weather. Could it be that he was going to do something stupid?


    She did not have time to think of other possibilities. She immediately took out her phone and dialed Professor Zhou Yan''s number.


    She immediately recounted what she saw in a confused tone.


    Professor Zhou Yan was also a little flustered.


    It was not normal to run out during a thunderstorm.


    Had Wu Mo driven himself crazy because he could not produce a satisfactory graduation design?


    Zhou Ya soon replied, "Jiang Mengyao, don''t worry. I''ll go down and stop him now!"


    After saying that, she hung up the phone, put on her raincoat, and ran straight toward the field.


    The staff dormitory building she was in was closer to the field. She would definitely be able to stop Wu Mo.


    The rainy night was filled with the sound of heavy rain falling, and the entire huge sports field was pitch ck.


    A gust of wind blew her hair into a mess, and she could hardly open her eyes.


    It was currentlyte at night, and the temperature outside was usually only around 20 degrees. Now that it was raining and windy, her body temperature was dropping quickly.


    Zhou Yan had not stood outside even for a minute, yet her entire body was shivering from the cold.


    Suddenly, a dark figure in the distance attracted her attention.


    Zhou Yan shone her shlight and found Wu Mo running toward her!


    At that moment, Wu Mo''s face was full of excitement, and he was holding a huge iron lump in his arms. It was exactly what she had seen in the afternoon, but Wu Mo was holding something and he was running toward her at an extremely fast speed!


    "Wu Mo! What are you doing? Stop this instant!"


    Zhou Yan could not bear to let Wu Mo gopletely mad, so she immediately ran forward to persuade him.


    However, at this moment, Wu Mo did not have the time to exin. The lightning was at its fiercest. If he missed it, he would really not be able to make it in time.


    "Professor Zhou Yan, let go of me. I''ll exin this to you when Ie back!"


    Wu Mo shook off Professor Zhou Yan''s arm. The excitement on his face made him seem a little delirious.


    Looking at Wu Mo who seemed to havepletely gone mad, Zhou Yan did not know what to do. However, it was extremely dangerous to run in the rain, and there was a possibility of being struck by lightning at any moment.


    For Wu Mo''s safety, she immediately chased after him.


    The movements of the two startled the security guard who was on night duty.


    Seeing this, Zhou Yan immediately said, "Sir, there''s a student in our ss who has gone mad. He''s in great danger now. Please help me bring him back."


    Seeing that he was in danger, the security guard promptly put on his rain shoes and chased after him with a shlight.


    The two of them followed Wu Mo''s trail and traversed more than half of the school before finally arriving at the highest floor of the teaching building.


    This teaching building was thetest building built in the Divine Arms Academy. Below the sixth floor was the teaching area, while the seventh floor was the office.


    The highest area was nned to be a stargazing tform. Its purpose was to meet the needs of the astronomy enthusiasts in the school.


    Professor Zhou Yan and the security guard had already caught up to him.


    Jiang Mengyao also rushed over quickly. As she had no rain gear, her entire body was drenched. Her hair was stuck to her forehead, and she had an anxious look on her face.


    "Professor Zhou Yan, I''m fine. Let''s bring Wu Mo down quickly!"


    Professor Zhou Yan immediately nodded, and the three of them ran toward the teaching building together.<sub> </sub>


    At this moment, Wu Mo had already reached the interior of the teaching building with the hammer in his arms.


    He rushed toward the spiral staircase and arrived at the stargazing tform on the seventh floor in one breath.


    The stargazing tform had already umted a lot of rainwater. As the drainage system could not keep up with the amount of rainfall, it could not control the umtion of water.


    Meanwhile, the boxes containing the stargazing equipment such as binocrs and stabilizers had already been soaked by the rainwater.


    Wu Mo climbed up the stargazing tform, panting heavily. Right then, he noticed that the dark clouds above his head had already gathered together. From time to time, there would even be shes of lightning, as though they were nurturing something.


    "I''ve finally arrived!"


    Seeing that the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Lightning was about to strike, Wu Mo made preparations to subdue it.


    The piece of iron he had created was now onlycking the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Lightning to temper it, allowing its purity to reach 100%. It would then be able to reach Legendary grade.


    He would definitely not miss such a rare opportunity.


    Wu Mo first took out the Mercury Cloak from his Interspatial Ring and draped it over his body. Then, he ced the sheepskin scroll that he had drawn into the array around him.


    He wanted to ensure that when the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Lightning struck, the semi-finished Mjolnir would be refined immediately.


    Time passed by minute by minute.


    Soon, he heard a series of chaotic footstepsing from downstairs.


    Just as he finished setting up, he heard rolling thundering from above his head followed by the sound of an explosion.


    He first saw a white light in the dark sky.


    Then, he heard the sound of thunder.


    Krashh!


    The loud thunder almost startled all the students of the Divine Arms Academy. Everyone ran to the window to observe the movements outside.


    At that moment, before their cold gazes, a huge thunder as thick as a silver bucket struck down from the sky in Wu Mo''s direction with iparable momentum.


    At the same time, Jiang Mengyao, Professor Zhou Ya, and the security uncle who had rushed over with them had already arrived on the seventh floor. With a nce, they saw Wu Mo standing in the rain.


    "Wu Mo is in danger. Come back quickly!"


    Professor Zhou Yan''s pupils immediately constricted. Even a martial artist could not withstand the power of lightning, and Wu Mo was only a four-star cksmith. How could he withstand the violent lightning?


    She shouted, but Wu Mo turned a deaf ear to her. He opened his arms as if he was weing the lightning''s baptism.


    Just as the lightning was about toe into contact with him, Wu Mo immediately activated the Mercury Cloak''s purification effect.


    The sound of flowing water could be heard, and the surface of the cloak lit up with a ray of light.


    Immediately after, the energy of the lightning that was released from the lightning was immediately absorbed by the magic array set up at the side. Then, it was directly poured into the semi-finished Thor''s hammer.


    The originally unattractive hammer suddenly became smooth. There were tiny electric sparks swimming in it as if the quality had changed.


    The three people who had just walked into the star observation tform widened their eyes when they saw that Wu Mo took the blow head-on but was unharmed.


    Jiang Mengyao opened her small mouth and looked at him in disbelief. Wu Mo was weing the lightning with open arms.


    Wu Mo''s courage and elegance made her admire him.


    Professor Zhou Yan was also shocked. She did not know what method Wu Mo had used to withstand the lightning!


    The security guard who was panting after climbing up to the seventh floor was taken aback by the lightning that struck the observatory.


    His yellowish eyes were filled with shock. He did not expect there to be someone in the world who could withstand lightning and not be injured at all.


    The three of them were stunned, but the dark clouds in the sky had yet to dissipate.

 Chapter 65 A Quasi-Divine Equipment Appears

    Chapter 65 A Quasi-Divine Equipment Appears


    Soon, a second bolt appeared, and as this bolt of lightning formed, half the sky was illuminated.


    Rumble!


    Thunderclouds condensed, and lightning as thick as a bucket descended, causing half of Shanglin City''s people to notice the strange sound.


    The lightning once again fell on the stargazing tform.


    This time, the power was even greater than the previous time. The lightning energy that was released covered a few square meters and charred the box of instruments ck.


    However, Wu Mo had the Mercury Cloak as a defense and did not suffer any injuries.


    The surrounding array had already been damaged to varying degrees because the lightning energy had exceeded its storage limit.


    However, the silver piece of metal at the center of the array was shining even brighter, and there were many spots of impurities on its surface.


    These impurities were things that the furnace could not purify, but now, they were appearing one after another.


    It was enough to show the power of the lightning.


    However, it was not over yet.


    The third lightning bolt had already taken shape. It still followed the trajectory of the previous lightning and smashed heavily onto the metal in front of Wu Mo.


    As for the remaining energy, the Mercury Cloak''s defense was already able to withstand it.


    Wu Mo raised his head to look at the sky. His gaze was clear with a hint of provocation.


    "Is this the end of the lightning tribtion?" he muttered.


    In the next moment, the thundercloud once again erupted with a strong light.


    Jiang Mengyao, Zhou Yan, and the guard hurriedly retreated into the corridor. At this moment, the falling lightning had already descended.


    The intense energy spread out, causing the entire school to tremble slightly.


    The box that contained the scientific instruments used for stargazing had already been hacked into ashes, not even leaving a single residue.


    The binocrs and other instruments inside were also charred ck. It was obvious that they were on the verge of being scrapped.


    "Oh, dear. Professor Zhou, someone is going to die!"


    The security guard''s eyes widened, and he pped his thigh as he shouted.


    "With such thick lightning, even if an immortal came, it would be useless. Hurry up and ask the principal to deal with it."


    Looking at the lightning beams falling from the rooftop, Jiang Mengyao could not hold back her tears. They were about to stream down.


    Professor Zhou Yan covered her mouth as she looked at the rooftop not far away. Her expression was filled with self-me.


    If she had stopped Wu Mo on the field before, this would not have happened.


    At this moment, the star observation tform was almost enveloped by lightning.


    Just when they thought that Wu Mo had met with misfortune, Wu Mo came out from the dazzling lightning with a shiny silver hammer in his hand. He walked out with his head held high and his chest puffed out.


    Wu Mo''s eyes were shining brightly, and the hammer in his hand wasplete.


    "Gasp... Could this kid be Leizhenzi[1]?"


    Seeing Wu Mo walk out unscathed, the experienced and knowledgeable security guard immediately gasped in shock.


    Professor Zhou Yan''s pupils constricted abruptly, unable to believe that she was witnessing Wu Mo in the flesh.


    Meanwhile, Jiang Mengyao swept away the sadness on her face and immediately ran over to Wu Mo.


    "Wu Mo, are you alright?! Why did you-you... run over here without saying anything? Don''t you know that Professor Zhou and I are very worried about you?"


    Jiang Mengyao was so worked up that she stuttered.


    Wu Mo never anticipated that his actions would make so many people worry about him.


    He felt a little embarrassed. He quickly went up to Professor Zhou Yan and said, "I''m sorry, Professor Zhou. I made youe out sote."


    Professor Zhou Yan shook her head. She went up to hold Wu Mo''s hand and found that there were no injuries on his body.


    "Although I don''t know why you did this, I still have to remind you to think twice before you do anything next time. Look at how much Jiang Mengyao cares about you. The first thing she did when she found out that something was wrong with you was to call me. She even got wet herself."


    Professor Zhou Yan pretended to be angry and scolded Wu Mo. Then, she pointed at Jiang Mengyao who was already drenched.


    Wu Mo immediately looked at Jiang Mengyao and realized that her hair was still dripping.


    He med himself in his heart. He should not have let others suffer with him for what he had done.


    Facing Wu Mo''s gaze, Jiang Mengyao turned her head away shyly. Her face was already red.


    "Alright, since there''s nothing else, you should head back. Jiang Mengyao, you should go back and quickly take a shower. Don''t catch a cold and affect your graduation assessment in two days!"


    For the sake of their safety, Zhou Yan immediately gave the order.


    A few minutester, Wu Mo returned to the male dormitory. After closing the door, he could not hold it in any longer and began to carefully observe the hammer in his hand.


    All sorts of obscure runes had been carved on both sides of the hammer. The center was iid with a Violet Thunder Origin Stone. Threads of golden light spread out, faintly discernible on the surface.


    The hammer''s handle at the bottom had be even more profound after being tempered by the lightning. The snake patterns were distinct, and the energy was stable.


    ''System, check the attributes of the hammer!'' Wu Mo said excitedly in his heart.


    [Appraisalpleted. The attributes of the equipment are as follows:


    [Equipment Type: Weapon.


    [Name: Lightning Warhammer (not bound).


    [Equipment Grade: Quasi-Divine


    [System Score: 90 points.


    [Equipment Effect: 1. Lightning (the war hammer summons powerful lightning to attack all enemies around it. Cooldown: 150 minutes)


    [2. Thunder (activates the lightning stance, causing the target to stiffen and be unable to move. Cooldown: 30 minutes)


    [3. Lucky Strike (small chance to directly increase the quality of the equipment forged, only effective on equipment below Epic grade. There is also a chance to add an additional equipment effect to the forged product)


    [4. Golden Lightning Protection (immune to most lightning attribute damage.)


    [5. Legendary Power (Summons Tears, deals all-out damage to the target such as a five-star cultivator. Cooldown: One day.)


    [6. Embedded Fog Concealment Rune: Not moving for five seconds can greatly reduce the user''s sense of presence and aura.]


    Looking at the long list of equipment effects, Wu Mo was so excited that his hands trembled slightly.


    Although this thunder god''s hammer had not been ssified as a Divine weapon, a Quasi-divine weapon had also reached an unprecedented level!


    This proved that he had practiced day and night and obtained results that made him proud.


    This Lightning Warhammer not only greatly increased Wu Mo''s ability to protect himself, but it also had great benefits for future forging.


    Thinking that this hammer actually had a chance to improve the quality of the equipment, Wu Mo''s heart cried out in disbelief.


    Six equipment effects and additional rune abilities... In Wu Mo''s opinion, this Quasi-divine equipment was already sufficient topare to Divine equipment.


    At the very least, in the entire Divine Arms Academy, there was not a single student who had forged equipment that could reach such a level.


    This was enough to make Wu Mo proud in his heart!


    [Ding... System notification. The Lightning Warhammer is a piece of Legendary-grade equipment. It is extremely rare. For safety reasons, the host is advised to bind it.]


    Upon hearing the system notification, Wu Mo immediately broke away from his excitement.


    He immediately summoned the binding interface. Just as he was about to click the bind button, a reporter from the Central TV Station reported on the television again.


    ording to the reporter from this station, "The venerable spirit martial artist, Feng Yu, has sessfully survived the tribtion, shattered the void, and sessfully ascended to the upper realm. It is expected that the thunderstorm will soon subside, and there will be no more abnormal celestial phenomena. I hope that all citizens can sleep peacefully."


    After listening to the report, Wu Mo felt that he did not hear anything useful, so he immediately chose to bind his hammer.


    However, at this moment, a strange light suddenly appeared outside his window.


    There was a strange phenomenon!


    [1] Reference to the Chinese celestial created by a great thunderstorm at Mount Swallow.

 Chapter 66 The Pillar Of Light That Pierced Through The Universe

    A strange light spread in the sky.


    However, at this moment, Wu Mo was still immersed in joy, and he did not notice the changes happening outside.


    Right then, the originally calm sky once again underwent a soul-shaking change.


    Purple light scattered in mid-air, and the clouds that had originally dispersed gathered once more. Layers uponyers of mountains had almost condensed into a ck mass.


    The tree leaves on both sides of the street constantly trembled, and the rubbish on the ground was directly thrown into the air by the gale!


    Kacha!


    A violent explosion sounded, and at this moment, the sky was as bright as day!


    Under the dim purple light, the sky was like hell!


    It was not only in the Divine Arms Academy. The abnormal phenomenon had already spread to the entire Shanglin City.


    On the streets, in the bars, and in the homes of the residents, everyone was attracted by the huge thunder, and they looked at the sky with shocked expressions.


    The whistling of the wind, the crying of children, and the rustling of leaves being blown by the wind could be heard endlessly.


    Boom!


    Suddenly, the sky was filled with lightning and thunder. Countless bolts of lightning connected together, forming a huge and dazzling light pir that smashed straight toward the ground.


    The other end of the pir went straight into the sky as if it prated all the way to space!


    Countless people were panicking in the face of such a shocking scene. News about the celestial phenomenon in Shanglin City became trending news on major tforms such as Weibo!


    "F*ck, is the end of the world?"


    "Don''t scare me. I''m in Shanglin City. I definitely won''t be able to sleep tonight."


    "These past few years have been full of disasters. Everyone should be fine."


    "Hasn''t that spirit martial artist already ascended to the upper realm? Why would such a thing still happen?"


    For all kinds of media, tonight was the day to work overtime to write reports. For ordinary people, the two natural anomalies in Shanglin City today were destined to be sleepless nights.


    Of course, it was not only ordinary people who were attracted by such a phenomenon. There were also many cultivators above five stars and high-level cksmiths.


    Many cultivators made use of their identities and jumped to the roof. They looked at the light pir that pierced through the universe in the distance and the lightning that stretched across the horizon in surprise.


    The fierce wind swept around, seemingly turning into a tornado.


    Over in the mayor''s mansion at the center of Shanglin City, Mayor Zhao Lu stood on the balcony and looked at the terrifying celestial phenomenon in the distance. He did not say anything for a long time.


    Behind the mayor stood two maids in elegant long dresses. The clerk and official did not dare ask him anything.


    Seven or eight minutester, the strange phenomenon in the sky slowly disappeared.


    The trees on the street also became quiet, and the congested road was now open again.


    Carriages passed by in a hurry, while everyone still had lingering fear on their faces.


    "Hahaha..."


    The beam of light on the dome disappeared without a trace. Zhao Lu looked at the sky in the distance andughed out loud.


    The clerk standing beside him was a little puzzled. Such a natural disaster had obviously dragged down Shanglin City''s economy and destroyed houses. What was so funny about it?


    "Mayor, why are youughing for no reason?" he took a step forward and asked humbly.


    Mayor Zhao Lu smiled and turned around. "Say, don''t you know? Such a phenomenon is the sign of a Divine weapon''s arrival."


    As he spoke, he waved his sleeve and walked into the living room. "I heard that my old friend, the tenth elder of Treasure Pavilion, just arrived in the city two days ago. He must have made a breakthrough and forged a Divine weapon."


    Zhao Lu''s expression was joyful. The clerk saw this and immediately cupped his hands. "In that case, congrattions, Mayor. Our Shanglin City will have another Divine weapon!"<sub> </sub>


    "Haha, you sure know how to talk."


    Zhao Lu lightly patted the couch''s armrest. "Forging a Divine weapon is a big matter. I''ll definitely pay Treasure Pavilion a visit tomorrow."


    Looking at the mayor''s gratified expression, the clerk''s heart moved slightly. He immediately went down to prepare to make arrangements for tomorrow''s trip.


    ...


    The night was thick, and in the blink of an eye, it was the next day.


    The discussion about celestial phenomena continued today.


    The content about celestial phenomena on the forums was still hot among colleagues at work and students in school.


    Mayor Zhao Lu rode a horse carriage to Treasure Pavilion at nine o''clock in the morning.


    The clerk apanied him by the side, chatting andughing along the way.


    Not long after, the mayor''s horse carriage arrived outside Treasure Pavilion.


    Several receptionists saw the carriage''s appearance and immediately knew that the person who arrived was of high status, so they immediately notified the store manager.


    The store manager rushed to the first floor and saw two peopleing down from the carriage.


    He recognized the person at a nce. It was the mayor of Shanglin City, Zhao Lu!


    "We wee the mayor''s esteemed presence. It''s really a breach of duty not to wee you from afar. I hope you won''t me me. I''m the store manager of Treasure Pavilion, Gao Yue. May I ask what advice the mayor has for his first visit to Treasure Pavilion?"


    Gao Yue looked a little nervous and spoke formally. He did not know what had happened in Treasure Pavilion for the mayor toe.


    No matter how hard he searched his memory, he could not find the reason.


    Mayor Zhao Lu saw through the manager''s thoughts with a nce. He chuckled and said, "Don''t be nervous, Store Manager Gao. I''m just here to visit. There''s no official business."


    Hearing the mayor''s exnation, Gao Yue heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly invited him into the pavilion.


    Zhao Lu entered Treasure Pavilion and looked at the wall filled with precious materials. His interest was immediately piqued. As a peak five-star cultivator, the equipment and weapons he wore were all of high quality. Naturally, he had some understanding of equipment forging.


    After a cursory nce, his attention was immediately attracted by an ordinary silver ring in the disy cab.


    It should be known that the equipment ced in Treasure Pavilion''s hall were all extraordinary items.


    Each of them flickered with a strong or weak light, but this ring looked extremely simple and unremarkable. It upied a more conspicuous position.


    "Mayor Zhao, please have a look."


    Noticing this, Gao Yue immediately used the key to open the cab door and took out the Interspatial Ring that Wu Mo had refined.


    A new look appeared on Zhao Lu''s face. He could sense quite a bit of spirit power fluctuation from the ring. It appeared to be a piece of Rare-grade equipment.


    "Manager Gao, could this be an Interspatial Ring?"


    Zhao Lu contemted for a while. Combined with the appearance of this ring, it reminded him of a piece of equipment that was quite famous a while ago.


    "My lord is very knowledgeable. That''s right!" Manager Gao Yue said truthfully.


    After receiving the confirmation, Mayor Zhao Lu suddenly felt an itch in his hand. He wanted to test it, so he immediately used his spirit sense to control it. A white light shed, and the next moment, the decorative furnace in the hall disappeared without a trace.


    ''Not bad. This Interspatial Ring is just as the rumors say. It''s truly magical.'' Zhao Lu praised in his heart.


    The ring was light and small, but it was also powerful. It could be considered a heavenly work of art. Other than the tenth elder, he could not think of anyone else who had such a great talent for forging.


    "Hehe, very good."


    Putting the ring back, Zhao Lu continued to read about the other items.


    The Divine weapons in the exhibition cab shone with all kinds of lights. It was dazzling.

 Chapter 67 It Isn’t The Tenth Elder? Then It Must Be The Old Principal!

    "Oh... what is this thing?"


    Suddenly, a light cloak appeared in his sight.


    Since there was nothing simr to it in the entire exhibition cab, Zhao Lu asked curiously the moment he noticed the style of the cloak.


    "Mayor, this is a Mercury Cloak. It can block arge amount of magic damage and remove negative effects. The original cloak is not in Treasure Pavilion. You can see that this is a replica."


    Gao Yue continued to introduce the cloak. However, a slightly skinny figure appeared in his mind... Wu Mo.


    These two pieces of equipment had been forged by Wu Mo.Even the mayor was full of praise for them. It was extremely fortunate that he was able to invite Wu Mo to be a special consultant for Treasure Pavilion.


    Gao Yue could not help but feel proud of his own unique vision. If he had not discovered Wu Mo''s strength some time ago, he would not have been qualified to invite Wu Mo to be Treasure Pavilion''s consultant now.


    Zhao Lu nodded his head in satisfaction in Treasure Pavilion''s exhibition hall.


    "It has been many years since west met. The tenth elder''s forging technique is still as unique and powerful as ever.


    "However, the tenth elder has been in the city for a few days and hasn''t contacted me. Has he had any urgent matters during this period of time?" Zhao Lu asked indirectly as he walked around the hall.


    He had visited to ask about the Divine weapon. Although the other weapons were quite good, they were still far from the quality of this Divine weapon.


    In order to save time, he went straight to the point.


    Seeing that the mayor was looking for the tenth elder and that he sounded a little hurt, Gao Yue did not dare dy and immediately exined, "I''m sorry, Mayor. Although the tenth elder has been in Shanglin City for a few days, he hasn''t been able to find time to see you.


    "Previously, the tenth elder wanted to visit your residence and borrow a furnace, butter..."


    At this point, Manager Gao suddenly stopped. He felt that going to the bank to get the cauldron was not honorable, so he was about to skip it.


    However, at this time, the mayor''s eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately said, "Oh, borrow a cauldron? Hurry up and tell me what happened after that?"


    Gao Yue felt a little helpless and could only tell him everything.


    "After that, the tenth elder went to the bank and took the treasure-gathering cauldron at the entrance, but¡ª"


    Before he could finish speaking, Mayor Zhao Lu interrupted him.


    By then, Zhao Lu had already verified his guess from Gao Yue''s words.


    Equipment like an Interspatial Ring and Mercury Cloak could only be made by a mighty figure like the tenth elder who had immersed himself in the forging industry for decades.


    Furthermore, the fact that he had gone to the bank to ask for a cauldron meant that the tenth elder needed a powerful furnace that could refine a divine weapon.


    From this, it was apparent that the abnormal phenomenonst night must have been the tenth elder''s sess in refining the Divine weapon.


    "As expected..."


    Zhao Lu was a little excited. As the mayor, he had never seen the appearance of a Divine weapon. Now that the tenth elder had broken through his shackles and refined a divine weapon, he had to take a good look!


    "Manager Gao, is the tenth elder in Treasure Pavilion now? Take me to see him, quickly."


    This time, Gao Yue was dumbfounded.


    He had yet to finish his words when the mayor abruptly became so excited. Did he misunderstand something?


    But now, it was not up to him.


    The mayor had already spoken, so how could he have the right to disobey?


    "Okay... Okay!"


    The three people walked to the second floor of Treasure Pavilion one after another. Without waiting for Gao Yue to knock on the door, Mayor Zhao Lu directly pushed the door open and walked in.


    At this moment, the tenth elder was burning incense and meditating to consolidate his spirit sense.<sub> </sub>


    Suddenly, a voice woke him up from his empty state. He was unhappy and about to get angry when he opened his eyes. However, he realized that the person who entered was Mayor Zhao Lu.


    "Hahaha... we haven''t seen each other for two years, but the tenth elder still has a youthful face and white hair. His spirit and energy are still the same as before."


    Zhao Lu smiled and walked into the room. The clerk at the side immediately followed him.


    Although the tenth elder felt a little depressed after his cultivation was interrupted, when he saw his old friend whom he had not seen for many years, the frustration in his heart was washed away.


    He immediately stood up and smilingly instructed Gao Yue to prepare tea.


    A momentter, the small group arrived at the VIP room.


    Mayor Zhao Lu sat down, while the clerk stood behind him.


    "Tenth Elder, it has been a few years since west met. I didn''t expect you to still be so valiant. You actually broke throughst night andpleted the forging of a Divine weapon. Old friend, here''s to you. Later on, bring out the Divine weapon and let me pay my respects."


    Zhao Lu''s face beamed with joy. When he thought about the fact that their Shangling City also had a divine weapon, he was extremely excited.


    However, at this moment, after the tenth elder understood the mayor''s intentions, he was stunned on the spot. He looked at Gao Yue with a dumbfounded expression.


    ''I made a Divine weapon? What is he talking about?''


    When he saw the tenth elder look at him with a puzzled gaze, Gao Yue immediately shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he did not know either.


    Seeing that the two of them had been exchanging nces for a long time, Zhao Lu began to wonder in his heart. Could he have guessed wrongly? Was there someone else who was the master of forging the Divine weapon?


    However, since he had said it out, it would be difficult to change his words.


    "Tenth Elder, you mean to say that the strange phenomenon in Shanglin City''s skyst night was not your doing?"


    Facing the mayor''s question, the tenth elder shook his head repeatedly.


    "Mayor, you think too highly of me. I didn''t do it."


    "However, I did sense the aura of the Divine weapon that you sensed yesterday."


    At this point, the tenth elder frowned, "And it should be in the southeast direction, not far from our Treasure Pavilion. It should be from the Divine Arms Academy... Could it be?"


    As he thought about it, he paused for a moment. It was not a trivial matter, and he was not too sure.


    Nevertheless, a figure appeared in his mind. It was Wu Mo, who had gone with him to Unusual Treasure Hall to loot the chamber two days ago.


    Although Wu Mo was young, his forging techniques were highly sophisticated, and his thinking was flexible, even if he had not seen the equipment he forged before.


    However, the mayor seemed to misunderstand. He stood up and tapped the table lightly. With a firm tone, he said, "Oh... I see. I understand!"


    ''You... You understand again?''


    The tenth elder was speechless. He was very familiar with the principal of the Divine Arms Academy.


    The principal was indeed powerful, but if he could forge a Divine weapon, he would have done so long ago. He would not have waited until now.


    The old principal was already in his seventies. Although he was a peak seven-star cksmith in Shanglin City, there was still a big gap between him and someone who could forge a Divine weapon.


    It seemed like this misunderstanding was getting deeper and deeper.


    Zhao Lu stood up and said with certainty, "The old principal of the Divine Arms Academy was a powerful figure when he was young. Now that he has been in the academy for so many years, he must have be a magnate. A Divine weapon is nothing to him."


    <o>,m "The abnormal celestial phenomenon happened to appear in the sky above the Divine Weapon Academy yesterday. It has to be him."</o>


    Zhao Lu analyzed the situation rationally, and the clerk immediately pped his hands. "The mayor is right. The principal has been searching on the path of forging for so many years, and he must have seeded! It has to be him," the clerk said excitedly.

 Chapter 68 A Divine Artifacts Aura, It Actually Came From The Student Dormitory?

    Seeing the mayor and the clerk sing in unison, the tenth elder was speechless.


    Laymen did not know the difficulty of forging a Divine artifact. Not to mention, the principal had been studying diligently for decades. If his strength, realm, and concept of forging did not change drastically, it would be useless even if he waited for another 500 years.


    However, the mayor had already made his decision, so he could not say anything else.


    The mayor said goodbye to the tenth elder with anticipation. Then, he immediately got into his carriage and rushed toward the Divine Arms Academy with the clerk.


    On the way, the residents avoided the carriage as soon as they saw it. At the same time, they were surprised that the mayor would appear on the streets in broad daylight.


    They could not help but look in the direction where the carriage disappeared.


    After a while, the mayor arrived at the Divine Arms Academy.


    With a teacher''s guidance, they quickly arrived at the principal''s office.


    "I didn''t know that the mayor was here! I didn''t wee you."


    The old principal with gray hair immediately stood up and went up to wee him with a surprised look.


    Zhao Lu smiled and nodded. "Today, I have some free time, so I wanted to pay a visit. I hope I didn''t disturb you."


    The staff at the side immediately helped to serve tea.


    The two of them drank tea as they reminisced about the past.


    "Mayor, have you reallye to me this time just to chat?"


    A momentter, the principal was the first to lose all pretenses. He could only ask the question that had been brewing in his heart for a long time.


    When the mayor came, the principal had some doubts in his heart.


    Although the two of them were good old friends, the mayor had to personally attend to a myriad of matters every day. If the mayor said that he had nothing else to do, he would not believe it even if he was beaten to death.


    However, after the two of them chatted for a while, they would arrive at a point. However, the mayor did not seem to be talking about the main subject, causing him to feel a little anxious.


    The clerk standing behind the mayor could not stand properly either.


    Usually, he would work in his office or follow the mayor to other ces to do business. He would not stand for more than a few minutes a day.


    Now, he had already stood in two ces for almost an hour. At this time, his calves were a little sore.


    "Uh... that... Actually, I have a small matter to confirm with you."


    At this time, Zhao Lu saw that the conversation was almost over, so he told him the purpose of his trip.


    "Yesterday, I saw a strange phenomenon in the sky above your Divine Arms Academy. It should be you who forged a Divine weapon, right?"


    Saying this, Zhao Lu''s gaze was fixed on the principal''s face. At the same time, his expression was filled with anticipation as he wanted to receive a definite answer.


    But the principal''s office was strangely quiet.


    The principal and the mayor stared at each other, and the surrounding teachers also had puzzled expressions.


    They had discussed the strange phenomenon yesterday, but up until now, they still did not know the reason behind it.


    They did not expect the mayor to visit with regard to this matter as well.


    It was just that the principal had been busy with work yesterday and had not been working on refining any Divine weapons or equipment for the past few months.


    Why was the mayor so sure that the strange phenomenon yesterday was caused by the principal?


    "Mayor Zhao, this is no small matter. I wouldn''t dare do this. Even if I have the skills, I''d definitely go to a sparsely popted area to minimize the damage to the city, not to mention the fact that I haven''t refined any equipment in the past few months," the principal said with a serious expression.


    Zhao Lu immediately felt numb.


    In Shanglin City, the strongest in the forging field were the tenth elder and the principal of the Divine Arms Academy.


    However, he did not expect that even after two visits, he still would not find the real cksmith who had forged the Divine weapon.


    If the old principal was not the cksmith, then who was it?


    Who had the ability to forge a Divine weapon that could trigger the phenomenon of heaven and earth?


    Zhao Lu felt that the matter was a bit troublesome.<sub> </sub>


    There was clearly such a powerful cksmith in Shanglin City, but he knew nothing about it.


    Thinking of this, Zhao Lu gradually felt ashamed.


    He could not randomly guess anymore. Since the tenth elder had sensed the presence of the Divine Arms Academy, there should still be clues nearby.


    Mayor Zhao Lu quickly left the office and walked toward the rooftop.


    The clerk immediately followed. The principal did not understand, but in order to ensure the mayor''s safety, he immediately ordered a few cultivators to follow.


    Yesterday''s rain had made the rooftop of Teaching Building No. 5 a bit muddy.


    The breeze was pleasant, and the leaves swayed and rustled everywhere, making a rustling sound.


    "Mayor, what do you mean by this?"


    The principal walked forward and said with some confusion.


    Zhao Lu did not say anything. Instead, he took out an ancientpass from his pocket.


    He poured spirit energy into thepass with a serious look.


    The clerk behind him immediately exined, "The mayor is using a sensing technique to find the location of the Divine artifact. Please wait for a moment."


    The old principal nodded. He looked at the ancientpass floating in the air, his eyes full of surprise.


    He had known the mayor for decades, but he had never seen the mayor use a secret technique.


    It seemed that the mayor was very concerned about the Divine weapon.


    However, the principal did not think that the secret technique could find the location of the Divine weapon.


    After all, Shanglin City was so vast, so it was unlikely that the Divine weapon was in the academy.


    At this moment, the light emitted from thepass continued to spread in all directions. It did not take long for it to cover more than half of the Divine Arms Academy.


    Zhao Lu continued to pour spirit energy into it. The surrounding people were afraid of disturbing the mayor, so they all became silent.


    Dong... Dong... Peng!


    Suddenly, a strange sound came from thepass. In the next second, a red pir of light suddenly shot from the dormitory building to the north of the Divine Arms Academy.


    It was the remnant aura of a Divine weapon!


    After observing this phenomenon, Zhao Lu was immediately shocked.


    Could it be that the person who forged the Divine weapon was not a hermit, but a student of the Divine Arms Academy?!


    At this point, Mayor Zhao Lu was not the only shocked one.


    The clerk by his side also widened his eyes, because he discovered that the red light appeared precisely where the abnormal phenomenon had taken ce yesterday. The beam of light that pierced through the universe had appeared there!


    Everything matched up!


    "This-This... Is the person who forged the Divine weapon really a student of our academy?!"


    The principal sounded a little shaken, and his beard trembled slightly as if he had lost hisposure.


    The teachers behind him all covered their mouths and looked at the dormitory building in disbelief.


    "I''ve finally found it!"


    Zhao Lu felt a wave of excitement in his heart. He stuffed thepass into his clothes and immediately used his spirit energy to fly in the dormitory building''s direction.


    He was prepared to find the student who had forged the Divine artifact.


    But before he could fly, the principal at the side pulled him back.


    "Mayor, don''t be impatient!"


    "Discovering a Divine artifact is not a small matter. With your status, if you go now, it will cause unnecessary rm. We should find a low-key way to deal with it!" the principal pulled the mayor''s arm and said in a calm tone.

 Chapter 69 Auditorium, Graduation Assessment!

    Zhao Lu frowned slightly. He had already made several trips over this matter, and his curiosity had beenpletely piqued.


    Yet, the principal was asking him to wait for a while. How could he suppress the excitement in his heart?


    Ultimately, however, he was the mayor, and his way of handling matters was different from that of ordinary people.


    Zhao Lu thought about it for a moment. Thatbined with what the principal had said earlier made sense to him. He could not let his impulsiveness ruin the matter.


    Since that urred to him, he stopped and turned his head to look at the old principal.


    "Principal, do you have any good ideas?"


    Hearing the mayor''s slightly sarcastic words, the principal knew that the mayor was a little unhappy thanks to his obstruction.


    However, he was not worried because the moment the Divine weapon''s aura was detected by hispass, he had already thought of a better idea!


    "Mayor, don''t worry. My idea will definitely satisfy you.


    "Won''t the Divine Arms Academy''s annual graduation assessment be held in a few days? At that time, all the students who are preparing to graduate from the academy will participate in the graduation design assessment.


    "The student who designed and forged the Divine weapon will definitely disy the item. When that happens, won''t you be able to tell who forged the Divine weapon?"


    Hearing the principal clearly state the solution to the problem, the mayor nodded his head in satisfaction.


    "Alright, then. I''ll leave this matter to you, Principal. I''ll stay in the Divine Arms Academy for a few days, just in time to admire the splendor of your institution."


    "Hahaha, no problem."


    The principal agreed with a smile. The urgency to search for the Divine weapon gradually subsided for now.


    However, those who had experienced such a phenomenon before were all looking forward to it.


    They did not know which student was so fierce as to forge a Divine weapon.


    For a time, different versions of the legend appeared on the academy''s forums.


    When it came to the existence of the Divine artifact, the students came up with a list of several people who could have done it.


    The students'' discussions were logical, but the more they talked about it, the more mysterious it became.


    There was the version where the experts gave pointers, there was also a cliff adventure, or the person directly crossed over to the future to bring back the Divine artifact. All in all, everything sounded usible.


    The matter also covered the uing graduation design assessment with ayer of mystery.


    Meanwhile, the person who started the whole thing was still sleeping soundly in his dormitory.


    Wu Mo had gone to the stargazing tform to collect the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Lightning at midnight.


    With that, he had sessfullypleted the refinement and forged a Quasi-divine weapon.


    He was so excited that he could not sleep the whole night. He did not fall asleep until it was almost daytime.


    Fortunately, only a few people knew about his actions yesterday. Aside from Jiang Mengyao and Professor Zhou Yan, only the guard who was still on duty in the security room was left.


    There were only two days left until the graduation assessment.


    Most of the students in the Divine Arms Academy had alreadypleted their design, and the curriculum had be much more rxed. Students could be seen everywhere on the field, having a leisurely time.


    Over these two days, Wu Mo had been in the forging space, training his ability to draw arrays because he had already finished his work.


    Every day, he would either be in the library or in his dormitory.


    Although his strength had not increased by much, Wu Mo had used these two days toplete the theoretical knowledge that the arrayscked.


    In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the graduation assessment.


    Early in the morning, the Divine Arms Academy became the only ce in Shanglin City that attracted the attention of tens of thousands of people.


    News and reports rted to the graduation assessment were constantly flooding the front pages of various websites.


    Apetitive atmosphere followed. The students of the Divine Arms Academy were all rubbing their fists and preparing to face the most important point in their lives!


    They had studied in the field of forging for more than ten years just for this most important moment.<sub> </sub>


    If they could obtain good results in the design assessment, they would definitely be able to soar to the heavens in the future and reach the highest peak in life.


    If they failed, they would be waiting for a tragic result.


    Those who could not meet the standards would either be sent to the foundry and live a better life than ordinary people, or their foundry skills would be useless, and they would be no different from ordinary people!


    Therefore, regardless of their usual results, all the students were fully focused as they waited for themencement of the graduation assessment at noon.


    At that moment, Mayor Zhao Lu was sitting in a carriage and rushing to the assessment''s venue ahead of schedule.


    He had not been sleeping well for several days while waiting for this event.


    He just wanted to see what the Divine artifact looked like and what kind of shocking effects it had.


    However, the most important thing was to win over such talented people in advance.


    It had been more than 100 years since the recovery of spirit energy, and countless talented people had appeared during that period.


    Although there were very few strong people who could refine Divine weapons, the youngest one was at least 40 years old.


    He had never heard of any student forging a Divine weapon.


    Such talent could be considered unprecedented!


    If he could be nurtured in advance, it would not be impossible for Shanglin City to develop into a super-first-tier city in the future.


    With such a goal in mind, Zhao Lu hurried to the venue of the assessment.


    As soon as he got off his carriage, the clerk immediately brought his things and followed him.


    The venue for the graduation design assessment was very vast.


    It upied an area of more than 10,000 square meters. The venue was surrounded by white railings, and at the center was a grand hall that was very much in the western Gothic style.


    The hall was surrounded by flower beds, fountains, pavilions, and paths. The scenery was unbearably beautiful.


    The grand hall, which was located at the center of the auditorium, was solemn and simple. Just the buildings and decorations on the outside gave off a magnificent feeling.


    Two or three white doves stopped at the top of the tower, and the sky was blue, like a meticulously designed oil painting.


    "Mayor, the scenery here is really beautiful."


    The clerk carried Zhao Lu''s things and followed him from behind.


    The two of them walked on the cobblestone path and listened to the spring water and the church bells. They could not help but feel rxed and happy.


    "The assessment is about to start soon. Be more alert."


    Zhao Lu took off his hat and quickly walked into the great hall.


    It was 11.30 am.


    Wu Mo and many students from the Divine Arms Academy sat on the horse carriage and arrived outside the great hall.


    Before themencement of the graduation assessment, the principal would hold the graduation ceremony in the great hall.


    Only then could Wu Mo and the other students peek into the great hall''s interior.


    The entire great hall sat facing the north and the south. The interior was octagonal in shape, and at the center was an open caisson-style grid ss. All four sides were engraved with different ssic oil paintings, and there were also quite a number of historical sites. The moment one entered the door, one would feel a solemn atmosphere.


    Under the influence of this atmosphere, the voices of the people discussing became much quieter.


    "Wow, this ce is really grand. It''s really worth it toe to this ce."


    "Its appearance is quite intimidating, but in an ancient building like this, with the shing of swords and sabers, aren''t you afraid of destroying the auditorium?"


    The people in the same ss raised their heads to look around, and at the same time, voiced out the doubts in their hearts.


    "Hehe, this ce is very sturdy. Forget you guys, even a four-star cultivator can''t break it," one of the young men wearing gold-rimmed sses immediately replied with a sneer.

 Chapter 70 The Gathering Of The Various Powers, The Mayors Declaration

    "You speak as if it''s the truth. Do you even understand?"


    The student who had spoken earlier was a little unhappy with the other party''s attitude and immediately retorted.


    However, the young man was not in a hurry as he rubbed his eyes. "Haha, I''m sorry, but I really do understand. My father does this kind of work.


    "This grand auditorium in Shanglin City has a history of 500 years. It was nned and built by Foster, who was extremely famous at that time. Moreover, it was reinforced by the great cksmith, Hawkins Creek, more than 20 years ago."


    As he spoke, the young man raised his head and pointed at the four walls. He said in a clear voice, "The walls around this auditorium have been drawn with a Tier 3 magic array. Not only can it withstand meteorite shells, but it can also withstand the attack of an Epic weapon. The entire auditorium is made hot in winter and cold in summer. It''s like a central air conditioner with a constant temperature.


    "It can be said that it''s warm in winter and cool in summer. It''s as if it''s impregnable!"


    When the young man with the golden-rimmed sses introduced it, the surrounding people immediately widened their eyes.


    They did not expect this huge auditorium to not only have an advantageous location and unique scenery but also had such a function. For a moment, they all took out their phones to take photos as a memento.


    They were prepared for the topic of conversation after dinner.


    Not long after, everyone arrived at their respective assessment areas.


    At this moment, many of therge organizations that coborated with the Divine Arms Academy also entered.


    There were Spirit yer Academy, which specialized in manufacturing weapons, and Le Zhan Interlink, which specialized in customizing high-end equipment.


    Out of the dozen or so organizations that coborated with the Divine Arms Academy, three of them were state-run enterprises. Not only did they receive high benefits, but they also had good room for advancement.


    These were all things that everyone had racked their brains to get into.


    However, the recruitment criteria for a state-owned enterprise were not low. Only the outstanding students of the academy could get tickets and have the qualifications to enter the enterprise.


    Dozens of representatives from the enterprise took their seats one by one as the many students weed them.


    Right then, the principal who was standing on the podium proudly said, "I would like to introduce to all the students that the next person to enter the venue is researcher Zhou Jinlong from the National Artifact Research Department! We have the honor to invite him to be the special guest judge of this designpetition. Please give him a round of apuse!"


    The dean''s words made most of the students excited.


    They had heard from their teachers that the National Artifact Research Department would also send people to this design assessment.


    Moreover, it was possible to give the participants the right direction of guidance.


    Although it was unlikely for them to enter the National Artifact Research Department, it was also very rare for them to be guided by one or two of the researchers.


    Therefore, when the students saw the young man in the National Artifact Research Department''s signature clothing walk into the hall, the entire auditorium suddenly erupted into thunderous apuse!


    Many representatives of the enterprises frequently looked sideways, wanting to see what was outstanding about the people from the National Artifact Research Department.


    Zhou Jinlong, who came from the National Artifact Research Department, was younger than 40 years old. He was wearing a long ck robe with a badge on his cuff, which depicted the logo of the National Artifact Research Department.


    On his chest, there were patterns of six auspicious clouds that represented the strength of the forgers.


    Zhou Jinlong had a well-proportioned body, but he was not particrly handsome. He was the kind of person who could not be picked out if he was thrown into a crowd.


    However, his eyes were unusually deep, and everyone felt nervous when they looked at him.


    Clearly, his strength could not be underestimated.


    The students who looked at Zhou Jinlong became even more respectful and envious, especially after seeing the auspicious cloud on his chest.


    Zhou Jinlong looked around and returned to his seat a momentter.


    However, the opening ceremony of the design assessment was not over yet.<sub> </sub>


    The next to appear were the two famous chambers ofmerce in Shanglin City. They were Treasure Pavilion on Changxi Street and the Wei family, which provided equipment for the military.


    The two major forces entered respectively. The first from Treasure Pavilion to enter was the tenth elder, who was wearing a Chinese tunic suit.


    Although the tenth elder appeared a bit old, his energy and spirit were not inferior to that of an ordinary person. Behind him were several cultivators brought from the headquarters. There were more than a dozen people, including the store manager, Gao Yue, and several main managers.


    On the Wei family''s side, only six people appeared. The leader was the five-star forger, Wei Ying, and behind him were several members of the Wei family.


    From the looks of the negotiations between the two forces, it was obvious that the two sides did not seem to be on good terms.


    In fact, most of the people present knew that the Wei family had previously run a chamber ofmerce called Unique Treasure Hall.


    However, due to some matters, Treasure Pavilion ended up seizing Unique Treasure Hall, and it disappeared from Shanglin City.


    p Now, other than providing equipment for the military, the Wei family did not have any channels to sell Divine weapons to the outside world.</anda>


    Thepetition between the chambers ofmerce had dealt a heavy blow to the Wei family.


    Their family business had evaporated by 10% overnight, and they had also be theughingstock of others.


    However, the one who caused this was a student who was not even 20 years old.


    The other students of the Divine Arms Academy immediately focused their gazes on Wu Mo.


    Thetter was already used to it and had already subconsciously blocked those gazes.


    "Finally, let us invite the mayor of Shanglin City toplete this opening ceremony!" the old principal said joyfully.


    Everyone immediately looked toward the entrance.


    At that instant, the mayor, who was dressed in formal attire, walked out with steady steps.


    He looked straight at everyone. Just his aura alone made the entire great hall quiet down.


    "Mayor, we are extremely happy that you are able to attend the Divine Arms Academy''s graduation design assessment. I believe that the students will also be extremely happy."


    The principal quickly went forward to wee him and spoke in a sincere tone.


    Mayor Zhao Lu walked up to the ceremonial stage, and the people around him immediately handed over their microphones.


    "As the mayor of Shanglin City, I feel honored to be invited to participate in the Divine Arms Academy''s assessment. Here, not only can I see the traces of all the students'' hard work, but I can also appreciate the spirit of fighting bravely. I believe that the graduation work that you present will be excellent, evenparable to a Divine weapon!"


    Looking at the countless students below, Zhao Lu knew that one of them had to have forged the Divine weapon yesterday.


    Thinking of this, he was a little excited, and his speech deviated from the draft that he had written previously.


    The principal who was standing at the side was a little confused. Why did the mayor speak his mind?


    "In short, I wish that all the students here will be able to enter their idealpany or organization. You will live up to your dreams!"


    The entire auditorium was silent. After the mayor finished his speech, thunderous apuse resounded.


    "Alright... Next, on behalf of the Divine Arms Academy, I would like to announce themencement of this graduation design assessment!"


    Seeing that everything was ready, the principal did not waste any more time and immediately announced the start of the assessment.


    Melodious music rang out in the auditorium, and all of the students entered the examination area in batches.


    The judges for this assessment were all five-star cksmiths who had been transferred from the government. They would give each student''s work a multi-dimensional score ording to strict standards.

 Chapter 71 Rules Of The Assessment

    At that time, each student would have the opportunity to go on stage and show their graduation project. The one with the highest score would advance to the next round, and the one with the lowest score would be directly eliminated.


    This process would be repeated until ten outstanding students were selected!


    The entire assessment system was divided into three processes, namely the preliminary round, the promotion round, and the round for outstanding student selection.


    Generally, passing the preliminary round meant that the students'' abilities had reached the standard, and they had obtained the qualifications to enter an organization.


    The qualifiers were more challenging, and those who passed could enter famouspanies or onlinepanies.


    Those who finally obtained the outstanding student certificates could pick anyrge listedpanies of their liking, and they would be dragons and phoenixes among men.


    As for those who could not pass the preliminary round, there was no better choice than entering the factories.


    However, for the sake of a fairer selection, this design assessment would be divided into six categories. The projects would be graded by three experts and dozens of public judges made up of teachers, thus achieving objective fairness.


    As long as the weapons forged had outstanding attributes or abilities in a certain aspect, they would not be easily brushed off.


    This also gave those students who were partial to the subject a chance topete. It was not to the extent that they would lose based on one aspect.


    These six evaluation ssifications were also divided into two major categories. One was the strength of the item itself, and the other was the enhancement to the user.


    The evaluation dimensions of the item were durability, flexibility, and specificity.


    As for the enhancement to the user, it was also divided into offense, defense, and control.


    As long as the equipment forged had two or three excellent features, the probability of promotion was incredibly high.


    However, these rules and regtions would only be used in the promotion round or the outstanding student round following the preliminaries.


    There was only one rule in the preliminaries, and that was the stability of the forged weapon.


    Provided that the student had sufficient knowledge, the designed and forged equipment would be rtively stable and not easily damaged.


    After listening to the principal''s exnation of the graduation assessment''s rules, everyone''s faces were filled with joy and worry.


    Soon, the first preliminary round began.


    Many students walked toward the assessment area ording to the pre-set grouping. Wu Mo and most of the students were in the same group. They arrived at the assessment area together and queued up to wait for their turn.


    There were a total of 617 students participating in the graduation assessment this time. The preliminary system would bring 617 students to 400.


    At this stage, the cksmith''s relevant abilities just had to meet the standards. It was not difficult to pass the assessment.


    The students in front walked up to the assessment tform one by one. They took out their carefully forged weapons and passionately introduced them. Then, they began the energy test.


    It was called a test, but in fact, it was an energy interference.


    If the forged weapons were still stable under the interference of a machine, they would pass sessfully. However, the prerequisite was that the designed equipment had to at least be of Rare grade.


    During the process of queuing up, Wu Mo saw many people''s weapons being affected by the machine''s energy interference. In less than half a minute, they exploded into a pile of debris because due to internal instability.


    About seven to eight minutester, it was Wu Mo''s turn.


    He took the Lightning Warhammer out of his Interspatial Ring and walked up to the assessment tform with a calm expression.


    The three five-star cksmiths sitting not far from him raised their heads to nce at him, indicating that he could begin.


    At this moment, Wu Mo saw many teachers with familiar faces in the assessment panel. Among them was Professor Zhou Yan.


    Zhou Yan gave him a calm look and lowered her head, no longer moving. She was afraid that she would disturb her student''s performance.


    "Good day, judges. What I have forged is a hammer-type weapon. It is called the Lightning Warhammer. The concept here is that hammer-type weapons can not only be used for self-defense but also as tools for forging equipment. It is more suitable for me to use."


    Wu Mo briefly described the mental journey of his forging process. Then, he ced the hammer on the rumbling machine conveyor belt.


    The machine in front of him was nearly two meters tall. Inside the conveyor belt was a sealed steel pipe.<sub> </sub>


    After the cabin door was closed, a magic array that could disrupt the energy of the weapon would be activated.


    Only weapons that could hold on for thirty seconds and sustain no damage would pass.


    Wu Mo''s short speech surprised one of the judges.


    Usually, in such a situation, students would talk about their ideals and the initial intention of designing weapons in order to pass.


    Only this student, Wu Mo, appeared very calm.


    Soon after the assistant closed the machine''s cabin door, a buzzing sound came from inside.


    The three judges and many teachers on the jury immediately looked at the screen on the side.


    Through the camera in the cabin, they observed the equipment''s situation.


    As blue light shone, a magic circle was immediately activated.


    A thick fog rose, and the energy turbulence within the magic circle tried to disrupt the energy within the equipment in a specific route.


    However, the equipment that Wu Mo had forged was not only extremely dense, but the energy within it was also impregnable.


    Thirty seconds passed very quickly, but the Lightning Warhammer did not experience the slightest change.


    "Passed!"


    After seeing the results, all the judges and other teachers unanimously gave him a pass.


    Wu Mo passed the round smoothly and waited for the start of the qualifiers with the other students.


    Among the students who passed were not only Jiang Mengyao but also Han Cheng and Jing Yuan, who had previously epted the mission, as well as their ss monitor.


    The rules of the qualifying round were strict and diverse. Each student''s ability would be disyed.


    At the same time, it was also the segment that Mayor Zhao Lu was most invested.


    During the assessment, the figure of the Divine artifact would inevitably break throughyers of obstacles and be the most dazzling new star!


    Not long after, the first preliminary round ended.


    Countless people were sent out of the great hall in dejection. There were even some who were not in a good mood, crying their eyes out.


    It was indeed a pity that their many years of forging careers had ended just like that.


    The assessment was cruel. One could not rx just because of one''s family background or other reasons.


    The qualifying round that followed was divided into three assessment zones.


    Wu Mo was scheduled to take the second assessment zone. The three experts there were the principal of the Divine Arms Academy, the special guest, the mayor of Shanglin City, and Zhou Jinlong who had rushed over from the National Artifact Research Department.


    Although the mayor was not a professional cksmith, because he had used many pieces of high-grade equipment and had seen a lot of things, the others did not find a problem in him being a judge.


    The qualifying round soon began, and the first student walked onto the examination tform.


    The student took out a short gun. It was awe-inspiring and had a red tassel tied at the end; it looked really good.


    However, appearance was not included in the six aspects being judged.


    It did not take long to wee the short gun''s first test.


    Arge ck instrument was then transported to the assessment field, ready to test its durability.


    The aim of the test was to throw the weapon or equipment into the casting instrument and squeeze it. If there were no changes or if any slight deformation did not affect it, then ten points would be awarded.

 Chapter 72 Durability Test, Wu Mo Gets A Perfect Score!

    If it was severely deformed, or if it could not be used anymore, the student would only get zero points and be disqualified.


    ? Everyone watched as the short gun was thrown into therge-scale casting instrument, and they began to feel nervous about the result.


    After all, thisrge-scale mold weighed several thousand kilograms, and it could even crush a car. If his equipment was too rigid, it would probably be wasted immediately.


    As the casting instrument began to work, the short gun that had been ced on the load-bearing tform immediately changed.


    The short gun bent slightly at first, and as the force of the pressing increased, it gradually began to change shape.


    The young man who had forged the short gun had an awkward expression. He was so ashamed that he wanted to find a hole to hide in.


    After more than ten seconds, the machine finished pressing. At this point, the short gun had already turned into a strange twist. It waspletely useless.


    "Zero!"


    The principal looked a little unhappy, and he was the first to give his score.


    The mayor and the indifferent judges immediately gave their answer.


    Therefore, the young man who had passed the preliminaries with great difficulty ate his "ne ticket" and was taken out of the auditorium.


    At that moment, the students who were waiting for the assessment started whispering among themselves.


    The pressing machine could produce a maximum force of 10,000 kilograms. How could ordinary equipment withstand such pressure?


    Moreover, many of the remaining 400 students had made light equipment. It was likely that their equipment would not be able to withstand the pressure and cost them their qualification.


    The crowd discussed animatedly, and the tense atmosphere in the auditorium immediately grew.


    "Next, Group One, Qian Rong!"


    The mayor picked up the student list and immediately read out the name of the next participant.


    Right then, a slightly short young man walked onto the assessment tform. He held a long sword that was emitting a thick blue light. The sword''s de was smooth, and it reflected the light above his head. It seemed to be made from an expensive material.


    "Hello, honorable principal, mayor, and researcher. The sword in my hand is a standard long sword made of rebar. It is very suitable for mid-rangebat. On top of that, it''s highly flexible. It is suitable for therge-scale forging and promotion ofbat troops."


    Qian Rong first introduced the weapon in his hand before he walked toward the machine with a confident expression.


    The machine''s mouth, which crushed the short gun resembled that of a huge beast, waiting to mercilessly destroy everything in its wake.


    "Teachers, I''m ready. Let''s begin!"


    Qian Rong directly threw the long sword into the instrument''s mouth as he spoke in a rxed tone.


    The assistant at the side immediately pressed the machine''s switch. As the gears turned, the machine began to exert external pressure on the sword.


    Through the big screen, everyone discovered that the shining sword did not seem to be affected at all. Even though the pressure on the machine indicator had reached 5,000, it remained undamaged.


    Seeing this, many students who were waiting at the side immediately said, "Tsk tsk, as expected of rebar. Its hardness is noughing matter."


    "I just want to say that Qian Rong is really f*cking rich. The body of his sword is made of rebar, which costs at least a million dors."


    "This endurance test alone should be able to stun a lot of people. After all, not everyone''s graduation work uses such good materials."


    The crowd''s discussion immediately dissipated after the machine stopped.


    The next second, the conveyor belt transported the longsword out of the mold. It was still shining with a golden light without the slightest damage.


    "Ten points!"


    The three judges gave him the highest scores respectively. It could be considered a good start for this endurance or durability test.<sub> </sub>


    As the test continued, many students failed the durability test in the first stage. Their meticulously crafted equipment became deformed under the molding machine''s pressure.


    Some of them even exploded due to the excessive pressure, which caused the energy within their equipment to be unbnced.


    Although the equipment of most students did not turn outpletely damaged, their effects were greatly reduced due to the damage caused by the machine. It was impossible for them to pass the next stage.


    Wu Mo watched more than ten student assessments and discovered that the passing rate of the first stage was only around 60%. By the time the six categories werepleted, there would probably only be a few dozen students left.


    Not long after, the mayor read out his name. Wu Mo held onto the Lightning Warhammer and walked to the assessment area without hesitation.


    At this moment, the machine at the center was still humming, and the ground around them had already umted quite a bit of residue.


    The old principal took a look at the students who were there for the assessment. His eyes were lowered, and there was no change in his expression.


    Meanwhile, the mayor sat in his seat, and his heart was somewhat anxious.


    The judge from the National Artifact Research Department was even more expressionless. He did not even raise his head to look at Wu Mo.


    However, Wu Mo did not care. He carried the hammer and quickly walked toward the machine. Then, with a ng, he threw the Lightning Warhammer into the mold.


    The moment Wu Mo threw it in, the entire machine shook. It seemed to be under a lot of pressure, and even its shock absorption spring was lowered by a few centimeters.


    This change made the students, who were waiting for their turn, curious. The assistant looked at Wu Mo in surprise too.


    The weight of such a casting machine was over a few tons. It could withstand a lot of pressure. Even if a car was thrown in, there would not be such an obvious change.


    This was a little confusing.


    Nevertheless, the change was not too eye-catching. As the assistant opened the machine, the hydraulic tes on the four sides immediately squeezed the hammer with great force.


    However, the three judges were surprised to find that no matter how the machine squeezed, the silver hammer that Wu Mo had forged was still shining. It did not change in the slightest.


    "Ten points!"


    The three judges instantly gave him a full score. They were also a little curious about Wu Mo''s work.


    After all, there were all kinds of weapons and equipment throughout the entire assessment, yet Wu Mo had the only hammer-type weapon.


    Wu Mo''s result of getting full marks surprised the students around him.


    Many of them had their own impression of Wu Mo. They thought that he would not even be able to pass the preliminary round. Unexpectedly, not only did he sessfully pass the preliminaries, he even received full marks in the first qualifying round!


    "Wu Mo has really good luck. That hammer of his is like a lump of iron. He has a huge advantage in this round!"


    "Yeah, I didn''t expect him to actually get full marks in the first round!"


    A few students who knew Wu Mo immediately spoke of him with envy.


    When the ss monitor, Tang Mu, saw this, he responded disdainfully. "You guys are giving him too much credit. That lump of iron of his can''t do anything. It only has the advantage of durability."


    "That''s right. I''d like to see how he ys with that piece of scrap metal in the next agility test!" A slightly tanned youth standing behind the ss monitor immediately echoed his sentiment.


    The assessment was still ongoing at this juncture. Wu Mo went to the rest area at the side and waited for the second round to arrive.


    At that moment, Jiang Mengyao rushed toward him. She was holding two slightly bent thin swords in her hands.


    "What went wrong?"


    Wu Mo was surprised when he saw the damaged equipment in Jiang Mengyao''s hands.

 Chapter 73 One Strike To Produce Premium-Grade Equipment. Jiang Mengyao Is Shocked!

    "It''s all because of that test. They insisted on testing my swords'' durability. They threw both of them into the molding machine, and it didn''t take long for them to bend like this."


    Jiang Mengyao looked a little dejected. "What kind of broken machine is that? I only got six points."


    Wu Mo took the two thin swords from Jiang Mengyao''s hands. After a slightparison, he could see that the two swords were bent more than ten degrees.


    If he did not fix them, she would definitely be at a disadvantage in the second agility test.


    "It''s alright, I''ll help you fix them!"


    Wu Mo snapped his fingers lightly, and the next moment, the Lightning Warhammer appeared in his hands.


    cing the two swords on the ground, Wu Mo lightly tapped them with the hammer to shape them. After a few minutes, the two swords were straight again, but there were many traces of forging on them, and they were not as beautiful as before.


    [Ding! The Lightning Warhammer''s level 1 Lucky Strike has been sessfully determined. Dual-phoenix Sword''s quality has been upgraded to Premium grade. The data has been changed as follows!]


    [Equipment Type: Sword


    [Equipment Name: Dual-phoenix Swords


    [Equipment Grade: Premium


    [System Score: 39 points.


    [Equipment Effect: 1. Bell Dance (increases the wearer''s speed by a portion.)


    [2. Plum Blossom Pierce (attacks have a probability of causing double damage.)


    [Additional Effect: Cold Elegant Saw (attacks cause slow bleeding]


    Gasp!


    When he saw the Dual-phoenix Swords'' effect, Wu Mo could not help but gasp in his heart.


    Was Jiang Mengyao that lucky? He had only helped her shape the weapons, and they got an upgrade just like that?


    Looking at the green glow on the swords, Wu Mo did not know how to evaluate them.


    One could only call it luck.


    "Wu Mo, what''s wrong?"


    Seeing Wu Mo stare at her twin swords, Jiang Mengyao''s heart skipped a beat. Were her weapons seriously damaged and beyond fixing?


    Yet, when she squatted down to check, she was shocked by the pale green light that her weapons now gave off.


    "What... What''s going on?!"


    Mengyao clearly remembered that the two swords she forged were only of Rare grade. How did they be Premium-grade equipment?


    Besides, there seemed to be some slight changes. The length of the swords had be more reasonable. The des flickered with a cold light and made people shudder too!


    "Shh... don''t make a sound."


    Wu Mo immediately held his index finger in front of his lips, signaling for Jiang Mengyao to keep it a secret.


    Coming into close contact with Wu Mo so suddenly, Jiang Mengyao''s face turned red.


    Sheposed herself and found that Wu Mo was still looking at her, so she immediately said,"Okay... I won''t say a word."


    "Actually, I''m not quite sure why there are changes, but to avoid trouble, please help me keep it a secret. This is our secret," Wu Mo returned the Dual-phoenix Swords to Jiang Mengyao and said with a smile.


    Thetter nodded and immediately turned her head away. No one knew what she was thinking.


    At that moment, Wu Mo was also contemting. Others could not know about the Lightning Warhammer''s ability to increase the grade of other equipment. It appeared that he could not use it in public next time.


    Not long after, the first round of the test on durability ended. Dozens of people emerged with zero marks. Some of their equipment was damaged, so they could only hope that they would not be affected in the next round.


    After the first round ended, the second test on agility quickly began.<sub> </sub>


    This time, Wu Mo was fifth in line. Not only could he easily see the test in front of him, but he could also finish it quickly and have time for some rest.


    "Next, Zhu Shan!" the old principal shouted.


    A youth with a well-proportioned figure and a pair of multiyer-sole cloth shoes walked out. He was holding a 1.2-meter-long sword in his hand. The sword''s de was as smooth as a mirror, and it radiated cold light in all directions.


    The principal, the mayor, and the researcher, Zhou Jinlong, exchanged nces.


    Then, Zhou Jinlong immediately said in a cold tone, "The current test is on agility. However, I have a question. I wonder if you can answer it, student."


    Zhou Jinlong''s tone was cold, and coupled with his indifferent expression, he seemed extremely harsh.


    The surroundings gradually became quiet. The young man named Zhu Shan was also a little nervous, but he managed to collect himself and say, "Mr. Zhou, if you have any questions, please let me know."


    "Okay."


    Zhou Jinlong sat up straight and enunciated each word, "I''d like to ask, how do you define the concept of ''agility'' in actualbat?"


    As soon as the judge from the National Artifact Research Department said that, the surrounding students immediately frowned.


    This was just a weapons test. Why wasnguageprehension involved?


    Everyone was puzzled, but after a moment, the examinee, Zhu Shan, seemed to think of something. He raised his head with a face full of confidence and said, "Judge, I think that the work I created is worthy of the word ''agile.''"


    As he spoke, Zhu Shan immediately pulled out the long sword that was tied to his waist. With a slight flick of his wrist, the long sword in his hand released a series of crackling sounds.


    Spirit energy from the sword proceeded to fill the air. The de of the sword was like silk that could be shaped at will. It was extremely nimble.


    After disying a short sword technique, Zhu Shan flipped his hand and inserted the long sword back into the scabbard.


    With a clear and confident voice, he said, "This sword of mine is 110 centimeters long and made of carbon steel. Since the sword''s body is just thin enough, it has sufficient durability. Moreover, I used a mixed casting technique for its rough form. It also has extremely high sticity while retaining its hardness!


    "It cuts iron like mud when used. Moreover, thanks to its small weight, it can save the cultivator''s physical strength. Without using it, it can be worn directly on the waist. This is called agility!"


    After he spoke, Zhu Shan stood with his hands behind his back, waiting for the three judges'' scores.


    Mayor Zhao Lu listened and nodded slightly.


    The old principal at the side also showed a satisfied expression.


    Meanwhile, the invited judge, Zhou Jinlong was as indifferent as ever, appearing expressionless.


    In the end, Zhu Shan scored seven points in the agility assessment segment, which was a pretty good score.


    Soon, the second person went on stage.


    The young man''s eyebrows were straight, and he had slightly bulging muscles. It was obvious that he was a student with some foundation in martial arts.


    At present, he walked up with a dagger that glowed with a green light in his hand.


    Seeing the green glow, Wu Mo, who was waiting by the side, could not help but frown.


    This was because he noticed that the Premium-grade dagger had not been forged with a strong forging technique. Furthermore, the three stars on the chest of the young man standing on the tform were also somewhat eye-catching.


    "A three-star cksmith didn''t get eliminated during the preliminary selection. There''s something here!"


    "Isn''t he from Group One? His strength is average, and his family background is also ordinary. How did he manage to forge Premium-grade equipment? How strange!"


    Hearing the discussion in his ears, Wu Mo recalled the rough dagger he had seen in his ssroom during the mid-term inspection.


    Its owner was now on the stage.


    It was just that Wu Mo did not care about other people''s forging works. Moreover, he was not familiar with that young man and did not remember his name.


    He only knew that his rtionship with the ss monitor, Tang Mu, was not good.


    On the assessment tform, Mayor Zhao Lu saw that the weapon in the youth''s hand was emitting green light, and his interest was immediately piqued.

 Chapter 74 Agility Test, Have You Seen A Flying Hammer?

    "Let''s begin!"


    The young student gently stroked the dagger''s leather handle. Then, he immediately took a deep breath.


    In the next moment, his figure shed, and he shed out seven or eight cold rays in midair.


    The dagger in his hand was about 20 centimeters long. From the surface, there did not seem to be any special array formation or pattern on it.


    It was just that the dagger''s hilt was iid with an eye-catching gem. The dagger was nourished by energy, and it appeared exceptionally sharp.


    The young man waved the dagger and his body shed again, creatingyers of de flowers in the air. He looked extremely nimble and dazzling.


    Seeing this, the mayor felt a little excited.


    The students of the Divine Arms Academy were amazing. Not only were their forging skills strong, but their physical skills were not bad either. As expected of an academy that could nurture such a genius!


    Right then, less than an hour before the start of the design assessment, Premium equipment had already appeared. It seemed that it was only a matter of time before they would see the Divine equipment.


    He became even more excited when that thought urred to him, and he gave the student a high evaluation of nine points.


    The other judges also gave a good evaluation. In the end, the youth who held the fine dagger received an average of eight points.


    "Student, I''m a little curious about the kind of gem embedded in your dagger."


    Seeing that the evaluation had been given, Zhou Jinlong, who was looking at the materials, immediately raised his head and calmly asked a question.


    "It''s a Tier 3 material, Dark Moonstone. I got it by chance."


    The young man did not hide it and answered proudly.


    He had picked up the stone from a store and only spent less than £¤5,000.


    To him, it was a pretty good deal.


    With the energy provided by the Dark Moonstone, the dagger that he had forged was directly upgraded to Premium grade. Moreover, it had three equipment effects. Thest time he sent it for inspection, he even received an estimated £¤1,700,000!


    That made everyone in the school envious for a long time.


    "Heh, not bad. Sometimes, luck is also a part of strength. You may step down."


    Zhou Jinlong gave a pertinent evaluation.


    Seeing this, the surrounding students were extremely envious.


    If they could pick up a Tier 3 material, the equipment in their hands could also be promoted to Premium grade, and they could easily pass the assessment.


    The few students in front of Wu Mo all received good results, and the highest one achieved an average score of nine points.


    The current student had essentially forged a thumb-sized flying shuttle. This shuttle could be controlled with spirit power, and injecting spirit power into it could increase its attack power.


    The seemingly unremarkable "flying shuttle" earned such a high score because it could be suspended in the air and be controlled with spirit power like an arm.


    For such a sensitive flying shuttle to get a score of nine points, it was considered worthy.


    The student in front of Wu Mo swiftly descended the stage with his work, and the surrounding students cast envious gazes at him.


    "What an expert! To be able to cast a flying array on such a small object, I have no choice but to admit defeat."


    "There are many talents in group three. Who knows, there might even be a god who will score 10 out of 10 in the future!"


    Seeing the mayor open the name list, the surrounding students immediately stopped their discussion.


    "Next, Group 1, Wu Mo!"


    Hearing the principal call out his name, Wu Mo immediately walked up to the examination tform before the crowd''s suspicious gaze.


    His footsteps were steady, and not a hint of panic was on his face.<sub> </sub>


    Following the examination''s protocol, he ced the Lightning Warhammer, or Mjolnir, on the viewing table first, allowing the judges to take a good look at it.


    Examination Zone 2 became quiet. Everyone stared at the silver hammer on the table, but they did not notice any lighting from it.


    One of the teachers was about to open his mouth to ask when the principal interrupted him.


    ? The old principal wiped his sses and took a closer look.


    A momentter, he confirmed his inner thoughts and immediately praised, "An invisibility array. You managed to apply such a small-scale array to a weapon. Hehe, this is really surprising!"


    The moment the old principal pointed it out, the surrounding teachers understood.


    The teachers who were about to ask questions earlier sat back down in shame.


    After learning the truth, the faces of many students changed.


    "That''s rare. If it weren''t for this, I wouldn''t have known that there was such a formation in the world."


    "Sigh, I really don''t know what Wu Mo is thinking. Others wish they could install amp on their weapons to make their weapons shine brighter. Meanwhile, he specifically ced a formation to block the light."


    The students had different opinions. The ss monitor who was standing at the side snorted and spoke indifferently. "Needless to say, a person like him isn''t strong enough. He just wants to rely on other means to hide his weapon''s light.


    "ying such tricks is just a little clever. Look at how heavy his broken hammer is. Its flexibility is definitely a mess. He should go home and burn some incense if he can even score three points!


    "Tsk... That seems to make sense. Wu Mo received 10 points in the previous round. This time, he''ll probably be eliminated with 0 points."


    Everyone focused their eyes on Wu Mo and the hammer he had forged.


    The hammer on the table was 26 cm thick and 15 cm wide. Its surface was a shiny silver.


    There were also inscriptions carved on both sides of the hammer. A purple gemstone was iid at the top, while the handle at the bottom was dark brown. There were circles of patterns on it and a leather ring at the end. In terms of forging technique, it was not very exquisite.


    Compared with the fancy equipment previously disyed in Examination Zone 2, Wu Mo''s silver hammer looked in.


    "Let''s begin. Please show us how nimble your weapon is," Zhao Lu held a ck marker pen and said with some anticipation.


    Wu Mo nodded. He raised his right hand and grabbed the Lightning Warhammer on the table in front of him.


    Everyone was a little confused, but right then, the hammer that had been lying quietly on the tform suddenly moved!


    The huge silver hammer seemed to be affected by maic force. It immediately rose into the air and flew into Wu Mo''s palm in an instant.


    The sudden change shocked the three judges and dozens of jury members


    They looked at Wu Mo, who was standing on the assessment tform, with disbelief.


    Although the silver hammer was not big, it weighed at least a few kilograms. How could it fly so easily?


    Moreover, it returned to Wu Mo''s hand with such speed!


    The warhammer''s mobility surprised everyone and aroused the curiosity of more people. They wanted to know what allowed the silver hammer to do that.


    At that moment, the old principal opened his mouth slightly and stared at the weapon in Wu Mo''s hand.


    Mayor Zhao Lu was also stunned because what just transpired was truly puzzling.


    Even if the huge hammer could be controlled with spirit power, it should not be able to fly because of its weight.


    Otherwise, the others would not have tried so hard to reduce the weight of their weapons for them to be agile.


    It was not just the principal and the mayor. Even the usually cold and aloof special guest judge, Zhou Jinlong, frowned slightly as if he was a little taken aback.


    However, unbeknownst to them, Wu Mo had brought them far more surprises than that!

 Chapter 75 The Heavy Hammer Breaks Through A Tier 3 Array, Everyone Is Shocked!

    Everyone''s eyes were focused. They originally wanted to hear Wu Mo exin the principles behind it, but at this moment, Wu Mo suddenly released his grip. The silver hammer flew out in a strange manner and rushed toward the ceiling of the auditorium!


    Not only did the hammer of lightning fly at an extremely fast speed, it even circled the auditorium as if it was sentient, causing all the students in the auditorium to change their expressions in shock!


    Right then, Zone 1 and Zone 3 were also testing agility. Quite a number of students had used spirit control devices on their weapons, allowing their equipment or weapons to have the effect of floating and flying.


    The students participating in the test were all controlling their forged equipment to move at low altitudes.


    They had initially earned enough attention in the test area, but just as they were about to finish their performance, a silver hammer suddenly flew out from Zone 2 and into their airspace more than ten meters high.


    It shocked everyonepletely!


    "F*ck, what is that? Am I seeing things?"


    "A hammer''s flying so high. Is it going crazy?!"


    "If it isn''t part of my demonstration, whose is it?"


    The entire auditorium fell into chaos. The principal who was sitting in Examination Zone 2 was afraid that he would affect the other students'' assessment, so he opened his mouth to stop Wu Mo.


    That instant, a sudden change urred.


    The silver warhammer that was hovering in the air dropped down rapidly. Then, like a boomerang, it shot down all the graduation designs that were floating in the air in the other two examination zones!


    At that moment, a slightly plump young man was talking about his graduation equipment in Examination Zone 1.


    However, before he could finish speaking, a huge hammer abruptly smashed into his sword that was floating at the side, turning it into a pile of scrap metal!


    The young man had no time to react. He could only watch his graduation design being smashed without finishing his introduction. The bold words that were on the tip of his tongue also disappeared abruptly.


    "Umm... why don''t you prepare it again ande back next year?" the judge subconsciously said, looking at the pile of parts on the ground.


    Bang!


    The crowd still did not understand what was going on, but at that moment, they were shocked to find that the reverberating silver hammer in the air had ruthlessly smashed into the auditorium''s east wall.


    The sound of a violent collision rang out!


    The magic array drawn on the wall erupted with a burst of strong light, and just when everyone thought it was a false rm, the magic array suddenly broke down.


    Meanwhile, the hammer directly prated the high wall and flew out of the auditorium!


    The auditorium shook, and smoke, as well as dust, rose up. Everyone looked at the hole in the wall in horror, unable to react for a long time...


    The judges in the three examination zones also looked at the broken wall in the distance in shock, not knowing what to do.


    "D*mn... Long-range summoning and control, and such a powerful attack even after circling around the field. That is f*cking called agility!"


    A male teacher in the jury raised his head to look at the hole in the wall and eximed with a face full of shock.


    The principal''s face was slightly flushed, and he look at Wu Mo with astonishment.


    The mayor, on the other hand, stood up from his seat and sized Wu Mo up, as though he was trying to see if he was the genius who could create a Divine artifact.


    The special guest judge, Zhou Jinlong, who had a calm expression on his face, also raised his eyebrows. He felt that things had developed in a somewhat unexpected direction.


    Unfortunately, the damage to the auditorium''s wall had caused its magic array to copse. Otherwise, Zhou Jinlong would have given him full marks right now!


    The power of the hammer that Wu Mo had cast was definitely not to be underestimated since it could destroy a Tier 3 defensive magic array.


    However, the most important matter at hand was to fix the magic array.


    After all, this auditorium was a building that had been built hundreds of years ago. Although the materials used were exquisite, the walls could not withstand the ravages of time.<sub> </sub>


    Without reinforcement from the magic array''s effect, problems could ur at any time.


    Therefore, no one was upied with being surprised anymore. The many cksmiths immediately went to the magic array outside the auditorium and prepared for an emergency repair.


    Wu Mo did not expect to lose control of the Lightning Warhammer at such a critical moment and destroy the magic array either. He was also a little puzzled.


    Not long after, the teachers from the Divine Arms Academy invited the person in charge of the auditorium. Two five-ring cultivators were preparing to repair the magic array.


    However, they worked outside for half an hour and the magic array still did not show any signs of being restored.


    The two cultivators were exhausted to the point that they were sweating profusely. At the same time, the teachers from the Divine Arms Academy urged them to hurry up, making their progress even slower.


    Eventually, after a long time of investigation, the cksmiths finally found the root cause of the magic array''s irreparable damage.


    It was the silver hammer that had previously destroyed it.


    The hammer had smashed through the outer wall of the auditorium and fallen into the grass patch not far away.


    However, the few cultivators present were clearlycking in strength. The hammer that had sunk into the soil was continuously absorbing the magic array''s energy in the auditorium.


    It was precisely because of this that the magic array could not be repaired!


    Once everyone discovered the reason, they were both angry and anxious.


    Thanks to Wu Mo, their assessment time had been extended. Plus, the destruction of such a long-standing building was also heartbreaking!


    "Hurry up and throw that thing away. Don''t waste everyone''s time."


    Tang Mu was the first to step out. He quickly walked toward the flower bed, grabbed the hammer''s handle, and pulled it with all his might.


    However, after Tang Mu exerted all his strength, there was no movement for a long time. Several cultivators beside him immediately went up to help.


    But the result was the same!


    The four or five cultivators ended up so tired that their foreheads were covered in sweat. They wanted to pull the hammer up as if they were pulling a carrot.


    However, the silver warhammer seemed to be stuck to the ground; it did not budge at all.


    Even the five-ring cultivators who used all their strength could not move the hammer at all.


    Moreover, as the silver hammer absorbed the array''s energy, lightning began to appear around it out of nowhere.


    As long as they got within a ten-meter radius, they would be struck by a powerful electric current. The electricity made their hair stand on end.


    No matter what they did, they could noy deal with the hammer.


    Many people were instantly dumbfounded. They did not know what hammer it was, for it to be so powerful!


    In the end, they had no choice but to set up a cordon around the hammer to prevent others from identally entering its range and getting injured.


    "Mr. Principal, what should we do now? If this continues to drag on, I''m afraid that the design assessment wille to an end!" amale teacher said anxiously.


    The old principal stared at the hammer in the flowerbed. After a long while, he said, "Everyone, don''t act rashly for the time being. This isn''t a small matter. We have urgently contacted higher-level cksmiths toe and help. Let''s wait a little longer."


    Seeing that even the principal could not do anything with the hammer, everyone was dumbfounded.


    The sky outside was about to turn dark. Meanwhile, the array around the auditorium had been destroyed. That was equivalent to losing all its energy, and the originally brilliant lights inside sank into darkness.


    Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, everyone gradually lost their patience.


    Theints against Wu Mo slowly increased as well.

 Chapter 76 What A Surprise!

    "Wu Mo''s here to cause trouble, isn''t he? It wasn''t easy for me to get two eights, and now he''s doing this to me?"


    A student with good results immediately spoke up.


    "This is simply ridiculous. If the defensive array in the auditorium hadn''t been destroyed, wouldn''t Wu Mo have scored 20 points for both assessments? Even the heavens won''t be able to stand it."


    Everyoneined about Wu Mo destroying the design assessment, and they all pointed their fingers at him!


    A few teachers in charge of hosting immediately went forward to maintain order and prevent other problems from happening.


    At the same time, the person in charge of the auditorium also built a temporary shed around the silver hammer to prepare for the restoration workter.


    Fortunately, the school quickly set up a temporary line, allowing the auditorium to have light again.


    Although it was not as grand as before, it at least allowed the design assessment to continue.


    The principal immediately announced that the special assessment would start early. After the hall''s magic defense was repaired, the assessment that had not beenpleted before would continue.


    Although most people were unwilling, they could only proceed in the face of the unsolvable matter.


    The crowd gathered under the dim yellow light, and they were divided into three assessment zones again.


    This assessment was specifically for them to disy the unique functions of their forged work and the characteristics or differences between their work and the others.


    At that moment, the sky was already dark, so they quickly carried on.


    The first person to appear in Examination Zone 2 was Tang Mu.


    Tang Mu and Wu Mo were students in the same ssroom, and Tang Mu was also the ss monitor.


    However, he was usually arrogant, and he looked down on people from poor backgrounds.


    Zhu Shan, who had previously received a 70% score in agility, held some grudges against him.


    Wu Mo stood in the crowd and calmly looked at Tang Mu who walked onto the stage.


    A few of Tang Mu''s good friends below the stage immediately began to call out his name as they cheered for him.


    The three judges appeared a little absent-minded at this time.


    The design assessment had not even reached the halfway point, but problems had already urred. Moreover, there were quite a number of media personnel broadcasting the entire process. If it was not handled properly, it would definitely have a negative impact on the reputation of the Divine Arms Academy.


    Right then, the principal was thinking of a solution, while the mayor''s attention was still on the hammer outside. He was trying to guess the silver hammer''s true grade.


    As for the special guest judge, Zhou Jinlong, he frowned slightly as he stared at the lights above his head. He was somewhat dissatisfied with such a simple and crude facility.


    "Honorable judges, please take a look at the Qilin Feather armor that I have forged."


    Tang Mu ced his beloved work on the tform and introduced it in a smug tone.


    "This Qilin Feather Armor of mine is light, convenient, and weighs only about 700 grams. It was forged from the Blue Luan Bird''s feathers mixed with steel tes. As for the feathers and alloy scales on the armor, they were connected using riveting and ovepping technology. Not only can it increase the wearer''s speed, but it also has excellent toughness and defensive power. It can withstand the sharpness of des and spears!"


    Tang Mu''s words shocked everyone.


    When the Qilin Feather Armor was ced on the exhibition stage, one could tell at a nce that it had been exquisitely made. The practical design of its body and various protective parts were apparent too.


    His craftsmanship was reallymendable since he could make such an armor!


    "Not bad, but this kind of technology isn''t rare. I can only give you eight points."


    The mayor was the first to speak. There was a hint of admiration in his expression, but the points he gave were not too high.


    Soon, all the judges finished grading the project. Tang Mu scored the first eight points and walked down the assessment stage with an excited expression.


    Wu Mo saw everything that went on in the next assessment.


    Some of them possessed good quenching techniques, and their weapons disyed durability. Others had the unique forging techniques of their families and added new characteristics to their weapons.<sub> </sub>


    However, the scores they received were all five to seven points. There were also quite a number of people whose works had mediocre effects and were directly eliminated from the assessment.


    Not long after, it was Wu Mo''s turn again for the third round, the specificity test.


    However, in the eyes of others, Wu Mo was in a very awkward position.


    The weapon he had forged disyed excellent agility earlier. However, he had identally smashed the weapon and sent it flying.


    It was obvious that the hammer was not a weak product. Otherwise, he would not have been able to destroy the Tier 3 magic array so easily.


    Nevertheless, the hammer was still in the flower bed outside. If he could not even pull it up, how could he continue the assessment?


    A few people around watched the show happily. Theyughed and said, "It''s over, it''s over. Wu Mo will be the first student to fail this test because he doesn''t have a weapon!"


    "I''m dying ofughter. That lump of metal flew out. There''s no way topete with us now."


    There were spectators and many mocking voices below the stage.


    Wu Mo had a strong start, but now that he did not have a weapon, he would be directly eliminated. In that case, even if he got full marks in the other five tests, what was the point?


    A dramatic scene began to unfold, causing the three judges and the jury to be somewhat dumbfounded.


    The Divine Arms Academy''s graduation assessment had been held for more than ten years, and there had never been a situation where a weapon was lost halfway through the examination.


    At this point, Wu Mo still appeared calm in the face of the crowd''s ridicule and discussion.


    He did not make a sound to exin. Instead, he raised his right hand in front of the three judges.


    Zap... Krash!


    As Wu Mo clenched his right hand in the air, the sound of electricity and ss shattering abruptly reverberated outside the auditorium.


    Since Wu Mo had made the same signature move during the agility assessment, when he did it again, everyone raised their heads to look at the stained-ss window at the top of the auditorium.


    Boom!


    Before everyone''s eyes, a silver square-handled hammer suddenly appeared in the air with golden lightning.


    The crowd had no time to react as the hammer smashed the ss with the sound of breaking wind.


    At that moment, lightning shed and thunder rumbled outside the window. A bolt of golden lightning struck down, and the dazzling light instantly lit up the entire auditorium!


    The golden lightning swam in the air above the auditorium, dispersing the darkness and illuminating the terrified expressions on everyone''s faces.


    All the participating students and teachers had shocked expressions!


    Was this strange phenomenon not a Divine weapon recognizing its master?!


    The weapon that many people had underestimated was actually aplete Divine weapon!


    There was no doubt about it now.


    No wonder the hammer could easily knock down all the other weapons and instantly destroy the Tier 3 protective array. Many cultivators could not even pick it up after it fell to the ground.


    This legendary Divine weapon was just as the textbook described. Once bound, only the owner, whom the Divine weapon recognized, would be able to pick it up.


    Others would not be able to move it in the slightest.


    No one had expected that an unremarkable silver hammer would actually be a Divine weapon!


    Moreover, this Divine weapon had been forged by a student!


    Seeing this, the mayor sitting in the judge''s seat immediately stood up with a face full of excitement.

 Chapter 77 Complete Transformation, The Appearance Of A Divine Weapon!

    Everyone fixed their gaze on the hammer floating in mid-air.


    The mayor was now certain that the phenomenon he had seen a few days ago had definitely been caused by this hammer''s appearance!


    At this moment, Wu Mo''s expression was simrly that of shock.


    [System Notification: The Lightning Warhammer that the host forged has evolved into a Divine weapon after absorbing arge amount of spirit energy from the Tier 3 Dragon Soul Array!


    [The Divine weapon, Mjolnir, has obtained a new equipment effect: Electrostatic Shield!


    [Equipment Effect: 7. Electrostatic Shield (activates Mjolnir''s electrostatic to block attacks. It is immune to all attacks from cultivators below a four-star level. It can greatly reduce spirit energy attacks. Lasts for 10 seconds. Cooldown: 10 minutes.]


    Wu Mo did not expect the hammer to turn into a real Divine weapon by ident. It was also a pleasant surprise for him!


    He extended his right hand and Mjolnir flew over. He held it firmly in his hand!


    At this point, the lightning phenomenon in the sky finally dissipated!


    Looking at the Divine weapon in Wu Mo''s hand, all the students were stunned, especially the students who were in the same group as him. Their faces were filled with envy and excitement.


    However, ss monitor Tang Mu was furious. He gave Wu Mo an incredulous look.


    Wu Mo was just trash, a fellow who was not even a one-star cksmith. How could he forge such a powerful artifact?


    All of this could not be real!


    Tang Mu''s face turned red as he roared, "This is impossible. It''s all an illusion. Perhaps everyone has been deceived by him! Everything is his doing!"


    He could not ept that a useless student could actually create a work that was even more outstanding than his Qilin Feather Armor!


    Yet, no one was willing to believe his words. They all thought that he was acting out of the unstable emotions in his heart and that he was just a narrow-minded clown.


    Everyone could clearly see the strange phenomenon of lightning and thunder. Furthermore, many people had tried before and failed to pull the hammer up.


    Everything pointed to the fact that Wu Mo was indeed holding a Divine artifact, and it was likely the only one in Shanglin City!


    Right then, the old principal''s eyes were red, and the mayor was so emotional that both of his hands were trembling!


    Even the usually indifferent researcher took another look at Wu Mo''s delicate face.


    The strength that this student disyed was truly unbelievable.


    Even the National Artifact Research Department, which held the ceiling in the forging field, had not stumbled upon such a genius!


    Although Zhou Jinlong had also forged a Divine weapon before, it had been done with the joint efforts of several colleagues.


    Wu Mo, on the other hand, managed toplete it independently as a student. Such an ability was considered terrifying!


    "How interesting!"


    The corner of Zhou Jinlong''s mouth revealed the trace of a smile. At that moment, he had quite a lot of interest in this student called Wu Mo.


    "Old Principal, the Divine weapon aura we sensedst time has to be from this hammer. Hurry, make arrangements for me to meet him!"


    Mayor Zhao Lu was at a loss. Although he was the mayor, he had never physically seen Divine-grade equipment before. Now that he had seen one, he was shocked beyond words.


    He became even more determined to take a closer look.


    Seeing this, the special guest judge, Zhou Jinlong also said, "If it''s possible, please bring me along. I''m very interested in this student."<sub> </sub>


    The two big shots both expressed that they wanted to meet Wu Mo. The principal was so happy that he could not close his mouth.


    He had founded the Divine Arms Academy for twenty years, and his students were now all over the world. Although there were many six-star and above cksmiths from his academy, none of them had ever reached the level of forging a Divine weapon.


    He was happier than everyone else that his own student had achieved something.


    However, the principal was a little hesitant at the moment.


    As early asst year, he had heard Zhou Yan talk about this child.


    He was willing to listen to lectures, hisprehension ability was strong, and he had forged many Rare-grade equipment on his own.


    Even back then, Wu Mo''s world-shaking talent had shocked the experienced and knowledgeable principal.


    He had also instructed Professor Zhou Yan to nurture him more.


    However, Wu Mo suddenly met a dead end and tried to forge a Divine weapon. It was as if his entire person had been possessed by the devil, and his strength rapidly diminished even though he did not attend sses.


    After that, the media reported it, but it did not attract any attention. In the end, they could only let it go.


    Since Wu Mo had a precedent of rising and quickly falling in strength that the old principal did not blindly say anything. He was afraid of raising the mayor''s and Research Department''s expectations of Wu Mo.


    "Mayor, Judge Zhou, it''s not impossible for the two of you to meet Wu Mo. However, there are some things that I have to tell you. This student of mine usually has a calm and steady demeanor. At the same time, he''s very low-key. He''s not willing to disy too much of his true strength in front of the public."


    "On top of that, we still don''t know for sure whether the hammer in his hand is a Divine weapon. Therefore, please don''t be anxious. We still have the defense, offensive power, and control assessments next. Won''t we be able to see the truth when the timees?" the old principal said with augh.


    Mayor Zhao Lu frowned slightly. The previous abnormal phenomenon was enough to indicate that Wu Mo had refined a Divine weapon. There was no need to wait for the whole assessment to end.


    Be that as it may, considering the principal definitely had other matters to weigh, he could only calm down temporarily.


    Zhou Jinlong, who was sitting at the side, fell silent for a moment. Then, he asked, "So, what do you n to do, Principal?"


    Zhou Jinlong felt that if Wu Mo really had such an introverted personality, it would be difficult for him tomunicate normally even after the assessment ended. It would be harder to ask about matters rted to the silver hammer.


    However, the principal had alreadye up with a countermeasure. He smiled mysteriously and said in a low voice, "The assessment for the advancement round hasn''t ended yet. Let''s just sit tight for now. Once we enter the outstanding student assessment, we will have enough time."


    "How about this? I''ll arrange for the three of us to enter the arena directly for the next round and be the main examiners for the outstanding student assessment. When the timees, we can raise the difficulty of the assessment and conduct some stress tests on him."


    As the principal spoke, he nced at Wu Mo who was standing not too far away. "Once the difficulty rises, Wu Mo will definitely disy the Divine artifact''s true strength. Won''t we be able to see it clearly then?"


    After the principal finished speaking, the two individuals sitting in the judges'' seats were slightly stunned.


    Understanding his point, the mayor pped his thigh excitedly. "Gasp... That''s a good method!"


    Zhou Jinlong also reacted quickly, a smile appearing on his face.


    "Interesting. That is not a bad n!"


    The three of them agreed and immediately sent people to make arrangements.


    At this moment, their gazes were once again focused on the examination area.


    The characteristics that Wu Mo''s weapon disyed received the unanimous approval of several dozen judges straight away.


    With full marks for both events, Wu Mo''s overall score had already surpassed 99% of the students'', and he became a candidate who was envied by everyone.


    The assessment was still ongoing, and it did not take long for the staff in the auditorium to solve the problem of the array.

 Chapter 78 Defense Test, Three Big Shots Dig A Hole For Wu Mo!

    Two five-star cultivators worked together to draw the array, and the hole in the wall was finally repaired.


    The hall was once again brightly lit.


    Many students were unable to adapt to the re, and they closed their eyes.


    Everything returned to normal, and the test that had been temporarily paused began once again. Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.


    Wu Mo had ample time to rest. He closed his eyes andy back in the resting area, preparing for actualbat.


    He did not expect the Divine Arms Academy''s principal and the mayor to send people to make arrangements for him to dig a hole.


    On the other side, Jiang Mengyao scored just a little over the passing mark and passed the specificity test with a score of six points.


    Her scores for three rounds of assessment were six points for durability, eight points for agility, and six points for specificity. Her total score of twenty points was considered pretty good among all the students.


    Of course, these were all thanks to Wu Mo''s help in the dark.


    If Wu Mo had not added a type of wood with stable energy to her materials list when she was organizing the materials to purchase during their group discussion, she would not have been able to do so well.


    The two swords that she had forged definitely would not have passed the preliminary stage where stable energy was required.


    After that, during the durability test, her two swords had be severely bent due to the molding machine''spression. It was Wu Mo who had used Mjolnir to hammer them straight and even helped Jiang Mengyao raise the grade of her weapons by ident. It had be the Dual Phoenix Swords as a result.


    Following that was a series of paths to advancement.


    Even though a score of 20 was not considered great, it was already better than that of many four-star cksmiths.


    As long as there were no major problems in the subsequent tests, it would not be difficult for her to enter the third round.


    After Jiang Mengyao sessfully passed thetest test, she scanned the resting area with her beautiful eyes and soon noticed Wu Mo. She ran over happily.


    Seeing Jiang Mengyao''s happy face, Wu Mo asked despite knowing the answer, "How did it go? Did you pass the test?"


    "I passed! I barely made it and got six points!"


    The two of them sat in the rest area and chatted for a while. The curious Jiang Mengyao suddenly asked, "Wu Mo, what grade is your weapon? Not only can it break the array, but it also gave so many cultivators a tough time. It''s too amazing."


    Wu Mo smiled slightly and turned his head to look at the three instructors who were invigting the assessment in the distance.


    "You''ll find out when we enter the third round. The assessment hasn''t ended, so we have to keep a low profile."


    Seeing Wu Mo''s mysterious demeanor, Jiang Mengyao pursed her lips and suppressed her curiosity, no longer asking about the weapon.


    Not long after, the first three tests were all over.


    The students were either happy or sad. Thepany representatives who were watching silently jotted down the names of those who had good results and waited to invite them into thepany after graduation.


    Of course, the people from Treasure Pavilion and the Wei family had all witnessed the nearly one-hour assessment process.


    At present, other than Wu Mo, there were also a few other four-star cksmiths who had obtained extremely high scores of more than 25 points.


    Among them was the ss monitor in Group 1, Tang Mu. His forging techniques were few and far between among those in the same realm.


    Qian Rong, who had made a long sword out of rebar steel, and Zhu Shan, who had made a flexible sword out of a mix of steel, as well as the other groups'' Han Cheng and Jing Yuan, were all seeded yers in the assessment for outstanding students.


    However, due to Wu Mo''s brilliance, the others seemed a lot dimmer.<sub> </sub>


    That made those proud and arrogant young geniuses feel dissatisfied, and they wanted to find an opportunity to bring Wu Mo''s spirit down.


    Over in the nearby VIP seats, the tenth elder looked at Wu Mo, and he was full of admiration in his heart.


    "It appears that my guess has been correct. The genius who forged the Divine weapon is indeed Wu Mo!"


    "Elder, do you think Mr. Wu can be the top scorer of this assessment?" Gao Yue, who was sitting next to him, asked expectantly.


    A few receptionists standing behind him immediately stepped forward, wanting to hear the tenth elder''s evaluation of Wu Mo.


    "Although the Divine Arms Academy is the academy with the strongest teachers in Shanglin City, Wu Mo is the only genius who can forge a Divine weapon. Compared to him, the other people''s works are obviously a little amateurish. Wu Mo will most likely be the top scorer in this design assessment," the tenth elder stroked his beard and said confidently.


    The surrounding receptionists were all surprised. Yu Qing was no different.


    She did not expect the student she had received in the past would have such talent. From the time they met until now, which was less than a month, Wu Mo had gone from a nameless cksmith to a genius who could forge a Divine weapon.


    Even though she had anticipated Wu Mo to have great development, she was still surprised by the rapid increase in his strength.


    Half a month ago, who would have known that an ordinary four-star cksmith could actually help them eliminate an opponent that they viewed as a thorn in their side?!


    He had seized all of Unique Treasure Hall''s market resources.


    He had even forged a Divine weapon that shocked the mayor.


    At this moment, the tenth elder respected him as much as the people of the Wei family hated him.


    Everyone''s thoughts stopped abruptly when a few teachers, who were maintaining order, announced the start of the third round after a word or two.


    After going through three rounds of "baptism," there were less than 200 students left from the hundreds of students. The huge auditorium was even more empty now.


    The third round of the assessment was for the qualification of outstanding students. As long as they could reach the top 10 by the end of it, they would be able to advance sessfully until the final assessment.


    The test to qualify was also fraught with difficulties. The first test was defensive ability!


    The test required the participating students to put on their equipment or activate their weapons'' defensive skills weapons. As long as they could withstand a full-strength attack from a martial artist, they would be considered sessful.


    Perfect defense against a two-star martial artist would be counted as three points. Perfect defense against a full-strength attack from a three-star martial artist would be counted as six points.


    However, in order to obtain a full defense score, they would need to withstand a full-strength attack from a four-star martial artist. Moreover, their equipment or weapons could not be damaged at all!


    It was not only a test for the equipment but also a test of the students'' understanding of their forged works.


    Ultimately, everyone only had one chance. If their equipment''s resistance was very strong, but they only chose to go up against a two-star martial artist, their highest score could only be three points.


    Meanwhile, if the equipment''s resistance was average and had the potential to obtain six points, but the student chose the highest difficulty, then what awaited him was the weapon''s destruction and the result of helplessly withdrawing from the assessment.


    Therefore, when the students learned the rules of this test, they were instantly dumbfounded before they frantically chose between the two-star and three-star martial artist.


    In their opinion, a four-star martial artist was too strong, and the spirit energy in his or her body was extremely abundant. A single hit was enough to break a stone tablet. It would be difficult for ordinary Rare or even Premium-grade equipment to withstand it.


    It was simply not worth the price of having their equipment damaged.


    The primary and intermediate stages of the assessment were not considered difficult, but for those students who were full of confidence, this was the best way to shake off their ordinary peers.

 Chapter 79 Han Cheng

    The defense assessment began. The three martial artists who were preparing to test the defensive capabilities of their equipment were already in ce.


    The two-star cultivator''s figure was well-proportioned, and one could feel the spirit energy circting within his body.


    The three-star cultivator''s expression was fierce, and his every movement carried an extraordinary aura.


    Four-star cultivators were rare in Shanglin City. At this moment, the young man waiting in the assessment area was not only wearing his equipment, but he was also holding a weapon that was emanating green light. His entire body was not only armed to the teeth, but there were also spirit energy fluctuations all over his body. His bulging muscles could erupt with powerful strength at any moment!


    "D*mn, this four-star cultivator can probably destroy my armor with one punch."


    "Say no more. I think that three-star cultivator is very powerful too. I don''t know if my Phoenix Beak de can stand against him!"


    "Haha, a bunch of cowards. A real man should challenge a four-star cultivator. Anyway, I''ll go talk to that two-star young man first."


    The crowd was noisy. The students whose names were called walked up to the assessment tform nervously.


    Perhaps for the sake of stability, most of the students on the tform challenged three-star martial artists, and some of them knew that they weren''t strong enough, so they chose the younger two-star martial artist.


    As for the middle-aged man who was a four-star cultivator, there wasn''t a single person in front of him.


    This dramatic scene made the principal, the mayor, and the invited judge slightly stunned.


    "Dang!"


    At this moment, the three-star cultivator, Miao Xun, gathered his spirit energy and threw a punch at the student in front of him.


    The student held a wide-ded knife in both hands. Although he was poised, after being hit by Miao Xun''s punch, the long knife immediately trembled, and the rebound force directly tore the student''s thumb and thumb apart, sending him flying more than a meter away.


    "Zhang Qin fails!"


    The assistant at the side immediately announced the result. The young man named Zhang Qiny on the ground with a pained expression, and all the strength in his body was deted by this sentence.


    "What a guy. Even a three-star cultivator is so strong. No wonder no one dares to challenge that big man!"


    In the VIP seats, several business representatives couldn''t help but sigh.


    "Young people nowadaysck the spirit to take risks. They don''t even dare to walk out of theirfort zone. Sigh..."


    The defense teststed for seven to eight minutes. At this moment, someone finally chose a four-star martial artist as the defense test.


    That person wore a light blue cksmith''s robe. With a confident expression, he arrived in front of the four-star martial artist, the big man who wore armor and held a green long de.


    "Mr. Cultivator, thank you for your trouble."


    Han Cheng bowed slightly, and then immediately took out a disk-sized equipment from behind him.


    The disk-sized equipment was only the size of a washbasin. Its surface was khaki-colored, and there was a magic array carved in the center. The equipment seemed to be well-made, but it was only a Rare-grade equipment that emitted a blue light.


    "Student Han Cheng, you are brave enough to challenge the four-star cultivator. Let''s begin!"


    Han Cheng''s lips curved into a smile. Then, he lightly patted the disc in his hand. In the next moment, iron tes suddenly stretched out around the disc. Like the myriad manifestation umbre, they began to assemble and transform.


    In just a breath''s time, it had be a shield that was half the height of a person.


    The shield was bronze in color. On it were lines that were shaped like tree roots. At the center was a piece of sapphire-blue ore that was continuously releasing energy to nourish the shield!


    Seeing the basin-sized disc expand into a shield that was half the height of a person, the surrounding business people widened their eyes.


    The students were also confused, not understanding how this was made.


    "Oh... This student named Han Cheng is interesting."


    The mayor who was sitting in the judging panel was about to fall asleep from boredom, but seeing this scene, he suddenly became energetic and began to look forward to Han Cheng''s performance.


    The principal chuckled but didn''t say anything.<sub> </sub>


    Zhou Jinlong, who was sitting on the left side of the mayor, suddenly said, "Mayor, he used a Tier 2 folding array. This design isn''t very exquisite. At most, it''s just a trick."


    Hearing Zhou Jinlong''s words, Zhao Lu nodded slightly.


    He had thought that he had seen a lot of forging equipment and had sufficient experience.


    But now, it seemed that the forging techniques were endless. He was a little ignorant.


    The two of them turned their gazes back to the assessment tform.


    At this time, the middle-aged man, who was a four-star cultivator, was actually chosen as the assessment target. A smile immediately appeared on his face.


    "Kid, you are quite brave. I wonder how strong you are. Can you withstand my de!"


    As he spoke, he gently turned his hand that was holding the de. In the next moment, the dark green de shed with a chilling light, making people shudder in fear.


    "Don''t worry, I''m Ready!"


    Han Cheng grabbed the handle on the back of the shield and tightly pressed it to his side. He was ready to take the next strike head-on.


    "Haha, That''s Good!"


    The middle-aged manughed loudly. In an instant, his eyes shed with a bright light, and the spiritual power in his entire body instantly surged.


    "Look at the de!"


    His right foot suddenly stomped on the ground, and then he injected all the spiritual energy in his body into the de. The originally light and long de seemed to weigh a thousand Jin at this moment.


    As he waved it, a gust of cold wind was brought up!


    "Bang!"


    In the blink of an eye, the green long de heavily fell down, bringing with it an unparalleled momentum as it crashed onto therge shield that was engraved with the shape of a tree root.


    The surrounding people only heard a ng sound. In the next moment, a fierce wave of air was raised from the sh between the de and the shield, blowing the surrounding examinees until they swayed.


    At this moment, when they looked at the young man named Han Cheng, their faces turned slightly pale, and the huge shield was even dented.


    The huge rebounding force caused him to retreat seven to eight steps back, and he finally stopped at the edge of the assessment tform.


    However, the effect of force was mutual. After the middle-aged man shed down, both of his hands were also shocked to the point of numbness. At the same time, he looked at the slightly damaged shield with a shocked expression.


    What he was holding in his hand was a piece of Premium-grade equipment, the Triple-cut de. It was extremely powerful. Most armor below Premium grade would bepletely destroyed if they could not withstand three shes.


    Moreover, Han Cheng in front of him was only using Rare-grade equipment. Logically, he should not be able to withstand the power of one of his shes. However, he did not expect such an oue.


    "Hu... Hu."


    Han Cheng straightened his body with a pale face and returned to his original position weakly.


    At that moment, the students who were waiting below the stage immediately pped happily. The teachers from the judging panel by the side also showed admiration in their eyes.


    Han Cheng, who was standing on the assessment tform, not only had extraordinary courage, but his strength was also not weak. He had even given the other students a good start.


    Many people directly gave him nine points, and the three judges also gave him points.


    In the end, Han Cheng''s overall defense score was eight points.


    It was higher than the scores of all the previous examinees.


    The principal chuckled and said a few words of encouragement, then moved on to the next person.


    With Han Cheng''s good start, more and more people gradually chose to challenge four-star cultivators.

 Chapter 80 Defense Test, The Mayor Will Personally Take Part In The Test!

    There were about twenty people in a group. Three to four of them dared to challenge a high-level martial artist.


    After more than twenty minutes, more than half of those in Wu Mo''s team who were waiting for the test had already been tested.


    He roughly took a look. Aside from some of the stronger ones, the others'' defense test scores were all around four to five.


    It was a little too tragic to look at.


    "As expected, the amplification test is a little more difficult than before. Based on this trend, after this round of assessment, there will probably only be a hundred or so people left."


    Not long after, the person in front of Wu Mo walked back with a mournful expression.


    Bai Ze took advantage of the situation and walked forward. At that moment, the three people sitting in the judges'' seats immediately sat up when they noticed that the next person to be assessed was Wu Mo.


    Mayor Zhao widened his eyes and made sure he was in tip-top condition becauseter on, he would be personally going up...


    "Wu Mo... which fighter do you n to choose as the target of the assessment?"


    In the seats, the old principal, who was dressed in a gray suit, said in an indifferent tone.


    Not far away, Zhou Jinlong nced at the principal. Then, he immediately supported his chin with his hands and pretended to be thinking.


    Wu Mo was the biggest fish in the in this test. He had to put enough pressure on him in order to test the maximum effect of the Divine artifact.


    "Reporting to the principal, I choose high-level martial artists as the defense test."


    Wu Mo gestured to the middle-aged man next to him. He did not notice the changes in the expressions of the three people in the seats.


    Perhaps he did not have any vignce in this aspect. After all, who would believe that the three big shots of Shanglin City would specially set up a trap for a student.


    Hearing Wu Mo''s reply, the corners of the old principal''s mouth could not help but rise.


    He thought to himself, "Wu Mo, oh, Wu Mo, don''t me the principal for scamming you. The mayor has already stayed in the Divine Arms Academy for three days just to take a look at the Divine weapon. If I don''t let him experience it today, as the principal, it will be very difficult for me to step down.".


    Although his mental activity was like a blowout, the mayor was still calm on the surface.


    "Hehehe... no problem."


    Hearing the principal''s approval, Wu Mo immediately took Mjolnir out from his Interspatial Ring.


    He was just about to make a defensive stance, but the old principal''s next words immediately stunned him.


    "Cough, cough... I haven''t finished speaking. Just now, our senior martial artist suddenly felt a little ufortable and asked for ten minutes of leave from me. Therefore, your test will be conducted by... the mayor himself!"


    Wu Mo was taken aback.


    Many of the audience members also greeted him.


    "Huh? Did I hear it wrong?"


    "This Wu Mo is just a student. Is there a need for the mayor to do it personally?"


    <o>,m "Hiss... Wu Mo is about to get into trouble. The mayor is a six-star martial artist. Not to mention Wu Mo, even if all the people here attacked together, they wouldn''t be a match for the mayor!"</o>


    "Haha, he''s going to be defeated. If the mayor attacks, he definitely won''t even be left with dregs!"


    At this moment, many of the students who were still present had looks of shock on their faces. Discussions were incessant, and most of them expressed that they didn''t quite understand.


    Although Wu Mo''s test score was far higher than the others, they didn''t know that the mayor would personally take the test for him.


    Meanwhile, some of the green-eyed students had looks of Schadenfreude on their faces. They wanted to see how Wu Mo would cryter.


    After all, the hammer was only a support equipment. In terms of power, it was not bad. However, due to its small size, its defense was not enough.


    Moreover, the casten''s strength was at the peak of six stars. Even if the hammer in Wu Mo''s hand was a Divine weapon, it would not be able to block such an attack.


    Facing everyone''s doubts, the casten did not exin.


    He pulled out the purple short sword at his waist. The aura of an epic equipment instantly filled the entire auditorium.<sub> </sub>


    It was a pity that Wu Mo''s Mjolnir had already cast a formation to conceal its aura. Otherwise, it would be impossible for an epic equipment to steal the light from Mjolnir!


    "Hiss... I''m sorry, my stomach feels a little ufortable."


    When the middle-aged man saw the casten strolling over, he immediately reacted and found an excuse to slip away.


    Wu Mo stared at the purple weapon in the casten''s hand, his brows tightly knitted together.


    Out of caution, he immediately ordered the system to analyze the epic sword in his mind.


    [Weapon analysisplete. The information is as follows:


    [Equipment Type: Flying sword


    [Equipment Name: True Soul-devouring Sword.


    [Equipment Grade: Epic


    [System Score: 67 points.


    [Equipment Effect: 1. Soul de (able to split a flying sword into 64 pieces by using spirit energy. The power of the Soul de is affected by the strength of the spirit energy.)


    [2. Soul yer (able to cut off any weapon below epic-tier from a specific angle. Triggered for 7 days.)


    [3. Soul Control (able to condense soul power to block any physical damage from any weapon below Epic grade. Cooldown of 1 hour.)


    [4. Soul yer (able to reduce the opponent''s maximum spirit energy by 3% when effective.)


    [Equipment Evaluation: This is a custom-made weapon. It was forged by a six-star cksmith. If your weapon grade is below this, then for the sake of your beloved weapon not being broken, run away, young man!]


    Looking at the data disyed on the translucent panel, Wu Mo could not help but feel speechless.


    Although the grade of this weapon was not as good as Mjolnir, the effect of the equipment was very solid, and it could be ranked among the top tier of epic grade.


    "As expected of the mayor, to actually be able to custom-make an Epic-grade weapon!"


    Wu Mo sighed in his heart. At the same time, his spirit was roused, and he immediately prepared himself for battle.


    At this moment, under the gazes of mobai, the mayor came to an open space not far in front of Wu Mo.


    His gaze was fixed on the hammer in Wu Mo''s hand. His expression was filled with anticipation.


    "Wu Mo, get ready. Don''t let me down," he said indifferently.


    In the next moment, the short sword in his hand shook and immediately released four sword rays that contained spirit energy.


    Seeing that the mayor had already made his move, Wu Mo immediately activated the defensive skill on Mjolnir.


    In a sh, the sword rays arrived, and ayer of lightning shed around Wu Mo.


    Chi chi!


    The two waves of energy collided, and a strange sound instantly sounded.


    The sword rays that were several inches long instantly disappeared without a trace, and the electrostatic force field in front of Wu Mo was still stable, as if it was not affected at all!


    Seeing that his first attack did not affect Wu Mo''s defense at all, Mayor Zhao raised his eyebrows and felt that it was interesting.


    At this moment, the surrounding people did not even dare to breathe loudly. All the invited media personnel also pointed their cameras at Wu Mo. They wanted to see how Wu Mo would defend against the mayor''s next attack.


    Hu!


    At this moment, in the entire great hall, Mayor Zhao''s clothes fluttered even though there was no wind. The spirit energy within his body poured out in full force, pouring into the purple short sword that was suspended in front of him!


    Looking at the terrifying spirit energy undtions that were slowly condensing, even the principal sitting in the judge''s seat couldn''t help but be moved.


    Researcher Zhou Jinlong was also somewhat surprised. Although he had heard that the mayor''s strength was at the six-star realm, he had never seen it with his own eyes.

 Chapter 81 Shocking Everyone, And The Enemy’s Eyes Turn Red!

    Looking at it now, the mayor''s strength had already reached the peak six-star realm, and he could be considered the number one cultivator in Shanglin City!


    "Disperse!"


    Zhao Lu''s eyes shed with a bright light as he raised his voice a little.


    The next second, the short sword that was floating in front of him and emitting a purple light immediately exploded with a violent ripple.


    Then, the original short sword instantly turned into eight flying swords!


    Each flying sword had the aura of an Epic-grade weapon, and the fluctuation of spirit power on it was enough to kill a five-star cultivator!


    Different patterns were drawn on the flying swords, and their names were engraved on them one by one.


    As the spirit power of the flying swords dispersed, a terrifying pressure immediately surrounded the entire assessment tform!


    Green Soul Sword, Absolute Divine Sword, Frost Sword, White Jade, zed Tile, and ck Tortoise...


    Every sword had a resounding name, and their colors and styles were all different.


    At this moment, many students below the stage felt that it was difficult to breathe, and their faces were flushed red from holding in their breaths.


    It was hard to imagine how Wu Mo, who was at the center of the spiritual energy pressure, could endure it!


    "Go!"


    Mayor Zhao flipped his wrist, and in the next moment, eight flying swords immediately rushed toward Wu Mo, bringing with them the sound of rushing wind.


    At this moment, Wu Mo was still maintaining the static electricity shield.


    At this moment, the static electricity force field was like a protective barrier, enveloping his entire body.


    The flying swords instantly arrived, almost breaking through the speed of sound. However, when the flying swords, which contained spiritual power fluctuations, came into contact with the static electricity shield, their speed instantly slowed down.


    Especially when it was only three inches away from Wu Mo''s body, itpletely stopped in mid-air.


    No matter what, it was unable to break through this seemingly fragile defense!


    The fluctuation of spiritual power on the flying sword was like a y ox entering the sea, instantly disappearing without a trace.


    The spirit power that provided the driving force dissipated, and the flying sword also disappeared without a trace.


    The mayor did not expect that even though the power of the flying sword was already so powerful, it was still unable to break through the defense. The indifferent expression on his facepletely disappeared.


    In the next moment, the spirit energy around him spread out like a wave of air. Shockingly, thirty-two flying swords appeared in the air.


    The flying swords directly pierced through the resistance of the air and instantly moved to Wu Mo''s defensive barrier. In the next moment, a muffled sound was heard.


    The collision of the energy produced streams of force, causing the surrounding cement tform to shatter into pieces!


    The crowd had never seen such a powerful battle before, and they were immediately stunned.


    In the judging panel, the teachers were simrly stunned. No one had expected that the mayor would resort to such means in order to test a student''s defensive strength!


    "Thirty-two flying swords! Student Wu Mo is actually able to withstand such offensive strength. This ability is too heaven-defying!"


    "The more flying swords the mayor condenses with spirit power, the stronger the attack power will be. Now that thirty-two have appeared, even cultivators of the same realm might not be able to easily deal with them. Could this Wu Mo really be forging a Divine weapon?"


    "I remember thest the mayor summoned flying swords to participate in the battle was five years ago, during the battle between two mayors. At that time, after Mayor Zhao condensed thirty-two flying swords, even the mayor of the neighboring West Moon City could not resist and was thus defeated!"


    This battle far exceeded everyone''s expectations. It was simply too shocking!


    However, just as Mayor Zhao disyed his trump card, Wu Mo, who was under the static electricity shield''s protection, did not move at all.


    Although the static electricity shield on the surface had some ripples, it was far from reaching its limit.


    Seeing this scene, all the students present, including the teachers, were shocked by the result.


    The old principal who had nned this test was also a little stunned at this moment.


    Not to mention Zhao Lu, whose heart was already in turmoil.


    Even though his weapons could condense up to sixty-four flying swords, with his current six-star pinnacle cultivation, he could only condense thirty-two for the time being.


    Under the huge consumption of spirit energy, the spirit energy in his body was on the verge of copsing.<sub> </sub>


    If this continued, it was more likely that he would exhaust the spirit power first.


    Thinking of this, Mayor Zhao immediately controlled all the flying swords to transform into spiritual power and enter his body, thus ending this farce.


    The light blue gas visible to the naked eye entered Mayor Zhao''s body like a swallow returning to its nest.


    At this moment, Zhao Lu slowly opened his eyes and said with a face full of joy, "Very good, your equipment''s defense is very good. This test ends here!"


    As he said this, he no longer looked at the shocked expressions of the students. Instead, he went back to his seat.


    He came to the Divine Arms Academy this time because he wanted to see the power of the Divine weapon.


    Although he ended up in a slightly pathetic state, his goal was achieved.


    After that, it was the personal grudge between him and the principal. It had nothing to do with Wu Mo.


    A short momentter, Mayor Zhao returned to his seat and immediately raised his ten marks.


    Seeing this, everyone looked at each other in dismay.


    The entire auditorium was deathly silent.


    Even a peak six-star mayor was unable to break through Wu Mo''s defense, so what on earth had this student named Wu Mo forged?!


    Even a Divine artifact wouldn''t be so ridiculous!


    Many students sucked in a breath of cold air, and some even tugged at the flesh on their bodies.


    They thought that they were dreaming, but the deep pain made them instantly understand that everything had happened in reality!


    Wu Mo had really single-handedly withstood the mayor''s 32 flying swords!


    "F*ck... Awesome!"


    At this moment, a forthright elder brother''s face flushed red, and he couldn''t help but swear in front of everyone.


    Only then did everyonee to their senses, and their gazes toward Wu Mo were filled with astonishment!


    "This... When did our Divine Arms Academy have such a fierce person?!"


    "Forcefully withstanding the mayor''s full-strength attack, if I were Wu Mo, I would be able to brag for the rest of my life!"


    "F*ck... This is cheating!"


    "Any normal person wouldn''t be able to withstand the attack of a cultivator above four stars. This brother called Wu Mo is definitely a mutant!"


    After epting this reality, everyone was in an uproar!


    The strength that Wu Mo disyedpletely made all the students go crazy!


    A student was actually able to do such a thing.


    This was giving too much f*cking face to a group!


    At this moment, countless people were shocked by the strength that Wu Mo disyed.


    However, at this moment, the ss monitor whose light had been snatched away was looking at Wu Mo on the stage with bloodshot eyes.


    That fellow had snatched away all the glory and glory that originally belonged to him!


    If Wu Mo did not participate in this design assessment, his aristocratic family''s forging techniques and craftsmanship would definitely be liked by the mayor, and not just treated in such a manner.


    All of the reasons were due to Wu Mo''s dazzling brilliance, and it was all due to his existence!


    However, at this moment, Tang Mu was not the only one who hated Wu Mo.


    At this moment, the Wei n member seated in the VIP seats clenched his fists in anger.


    Wei Ying stared at Wu Mo with a vicious gaze. At this moment, he could sense that the other party had grown to an existence that could threaten the Wei n.


    If he didn''t get rid of the other party before he fully matured, there would definitely be great trouble in the future!

 Chapter 82 Offensive Power Test, The Wei Family’s Plot!

    Wei Ying could not wait to rush onto the stage and kill Wu Mo right then and there.


    However, the design assessment was not over yet. Even if he wanted to make a move, it had to be within the scope of the rules.


    Thinking about what Wu Mo had done to their Wei family, Wei Ying could not help but feel furious.


    "Hall Master Wei, let Jiaming get rid of Wu Mo in the next assessment!" the butler behind Wei Ying stepped forward and said in a low voice.


    Looking at Wu Mo who was slowly walking down the stage not far away, Wei Ying frowned slightly. His deep eyes were filled with murderous intent!


    "That''s good as well. The conflict between him and the Wei family will be resolved today. Get our men to make arrangements!"


    "Yes, Sir!"


    The slightly white-haired steward immediately nodded his head and agreed before he left the VIP seats with haste.


    The Wei family had already been secretly putting their ns into motion since a week ago.


    Their goal was to exact revenge on Treasure Pavilion and Wu Mo.


    Last week, Wei Jiaming had been severely injured by Wu Mo, and to treat his injuries, he had to suspend his studies at the Divine Arms Academy.


    After recuperating for a period of time, his strength had barely recovered.


    For Wei Jiaming to graduate sessfully, the Wei family had spent a lot of money on to pull some strings in the Divine Arms Academy. They had also gotten a distant rtive to work in the Divine Arms Academy to help them from the inside. That allowed Wei Jiaming to once again have the qualifications to participate in the design assessment.


    In order to exact revenge on Wu Mo, the Wei family spared no expense to infiltrate the Divine Arms Academy. In the end, they managed to get where they were today.


    At this moment, Wei Jiaming had passed all the tests with his graduation project. With a score of 34 points, he was ranked fourth among all the students.


    He stood before everyone once again with a brand-new attitude.


    The top 50 students were all ranked on the big screen above the test area.


    Wu Mo: 40 points.


    Tang Mu: 37 points.


    Han Cheng: 35 points.


    Wei Jiaming: 34 points.


    Zhu Shan was in seventh ce, Jing Yuan was in eighth ce, and Jiang Mengyao was in thirty-ninth ce.


    Wei Jiaming''s expression turned ferocious as he looked at Wu Mo''s dazzling results and the rankings on the big screen, which was constantly refreshing.


    He touched his chest, where there was still a faint pain.


    Thinking back to a week ago, when he was defeated by Wu Mo in front of everyone, the humiliation made the veins on his forehead pop out.


    "Just you wait, Wu Mo! This time, I''ll make sure that you''ll never be able to lift your head up! I''ll make sure that you''ll never have the chance to fight back again!"


    The noisy voices in the auditorium slowly disappeared.


    By then, the defensive test was nearing its end, and there were less than 100 students left.


    The principal in the judge''s seat raised his head to look at Wu Mo, who was ranked first on the screen, and his heart was filled with anticipation.


    If Wu Mo also obtained a full score in the following assessment, he would probably be the only student in the history of the Divine Arms Academy to obtain a full score in the assessment.


    Thinking of that, he felt excited.


    "Mayor, a true Divine weapon doesn''t just have a strong defense. I believe that you haven''t seen enough. In the next round, this old man will go up and test that hammer''s offensive power!"


    Hearing the principal''s words, the mayor and researcher, Zhou Jinlong, were slightly taken aback.


    "Thank you, Principal. It just so happens that I want to learn more about your student."


    Zhou Jinlong nodded slightly, a trace of anticipation and surprise shing through his eyes.


    As a six-star cksmith, the principal must have many treasures on him. When the timees, he would definitely be able to test the hammer''s offensive power!<sub> </sub>


    After all, Divine weapons were divided into different grades. A weapon that could reach the standard of a Divine weapon might not necessarily be as practical as an Epic weapon.


    Right then, Mayor Zhao Lu''s face was filled with joy. Previously, Wu Mo had defeated him in the defense test. Although he had roughly confirmed that the hammer was a Divine weapon, if he could test it on multiple fronts, he would definitely be able to understand it intuitively.


    The auditorium gradually quieted down, and thest cksmithpleted the defense test for his work.


    The average scores of the students were all distributed between 16 to 28 points. A single point difference was enough to shake off 7 to 8petitors.


    The remaining students naturally paid more attention to the uing test.


    At this time, the host quickly walked up the stage and prepared to announce the rules for the fifth test.


    <o>,m "The next test will measure your weapon''s offensive power!"</o>


    "And in this test, each student will be divided into two groups at random and be required to attack their opponent''s weapon with their own. Each person will only have one chance to attack. If the opponent''s weapon or equipment is immobilized, the winner will receive a point. If not, the student fails!"


    The host took out a remote and pressed it lightly. The next moment, hundreds of numbers representing each student immediately appeared on the big screen that disyed the scores.


    At this point, the numbers had already started to roll. Once two numbered balls reach the exit, that pair would be considered an effective grouping.


    "This assessment will narrow down 107 to 30. Please work hard."


    After the host finished speaking, he took the microphone and walked down the assessment tform. The numbers on the screen were about to stop rolling. Soon, two small red balls appeared on a round te.


    No. 16, Qian Rong, VS No. 73, Feng Jiang!


    After the numbers appeared, two students immediately stepped out from the crowd and hurried toward the assessment stage.


    The surrounding reporters immediately focused their cameras on the stage, while the three judges and many other members of the jury also focused their attention on the tform.


    An assistant wearing a shirt immediately walked up and stood in the middle of the two students.


    Qian Rong, who was only 168 cm in height and holding a long sword, stood on the spot with a face full of confidence.


    Inparison, although the student named Feng Jiang had the upper hand in terms of height, he felt a little intimidated.


    Qian Rong was currently ranked 16th, while Feng Jiang''s ranking was only around 70. In terms of weapon strength, Feng Jiang indeed did not have the upper hand.


    "I''ll let you attack first. Don''t say that I''m tormenting you," Qian Rong held his sword in front of him with both hands as he said with a smile.


    Feng Jiang, who was holding two short knives in his hands, revealed a forced smile.


    "The assessment shall begin. Student Feng Jiang will attack first."


    The assistant swiftly announced the start of the attack test.


    Feng Jiang''s expression changed. He immediately activated his weapon''s attack skill and shed down at the opponent''s wide, gleaming sword!


    The students only heard a "dang!" sound.


    The next moment, they discovered that the short sword in Feng Jiang''s hand had already rolled up, while Qian Rong''s long sword was still brand new, without a single scratch.


    "Qian Rong wins by two points!"


    "Student Qian Rong, would you like to remain on the stage to challenge the next person?"


    When the assistant announced the results, Feng Jiang saw that his pitiful test score had dropped by another two points on the screen. His face instantly turned sorrowful.


    "Haha, my long sword is made of rebar steel. No one can break it! But it needs a pause. I''m not going to take continuous turns."


    Qian Rongughed as he walked off the stage, waiting for his number to be randomly picked again.


    The number ball on the screen rolled again, and soon the result was out.


    No. 4 Wei Jiaming VS No. 31 Deng Li.


    Below the test tform, Wei Jiaming noticed that he was the second to be randomly selected, and a trace of joy shed across his face.

 Chapter 83 Wei Jiaming Returns To The Assessment Platform!

    ording to the current rules, as long as he defeated enough people in this test, his score would definitely be higher than that d*mned Wu Mo!


    He held a brand-new silver spear and walked proudly onto the assessment tform.


    Speaking of which, it was all thanks to Wu Mo that he managed to refine a brand-new piece in such a short period of time.


    During those few days of being bedridden while recuperating, he had been bored to death. So, he had read the ancient books that his family owned. Coincidentally, he gained some insights and improved his forging strength quite a bit.


    Although the long spear had only been refined for four days, he had poured a lot of effort into it, which included its magic array and fusion of materials. He did everything single-handedly.


    In the end, he sessfully raised the long spear to Premium grade!


    He also regained his confidence since he had personally forged a piece of Premium-grade equipment!


    Holding the long spear in one hand, he quickly walked up to the stage.


    He enjoyed everyone''s attention.


    At that moment, another thin young man walked up to the assessment tform.


    He was Wei Jiaming''s opponent, Deng Li!


    Deng Li''s skin was a little dark, but his eyes were full of tenacity. He did not cower just because his opponent was ranked higher.


    He held a pair of silver mandarin duck des in his hands. The weapons were like two crisscrossing scimitars, and the arcs on the outside flickered with a sharp edge.


    Aside from the center where he grasped the weapons, everything was made of pure iron. Not only was their structure solid, but their offensive power was also great.


    They basically epassed both offensive and defensive aspects.


    However, weapons like the mandarin duck des were rare. Martial artists also used less of them.


    Currently, only certain second- or third-rate aristocratic families still produced such tomahawk-type weapons.


    Although they were small in number, their power was not ordinary.


    Wei Jiaming looked at the weapons in Deng Li''s hand and raised his brows slightly. "Hehe, how unorthodox!"


    He swung the long spear in his hand and immediately assumed an offensive stance.


    Deng Li seemed to be very confident in the silver mandarin duck des'' defensive power. He did not express any intention to fight for the right to take the lead in attacking. Instead, he crossed his hands and ced the silver mandarin duck des in front of his chest, taking a defensive stance.


    Seeing that both of them were ready, the assistant immediately announced the start of their duel.


    At that moment, Wei Jiaming revealed the trace of a smile. He could no longer wait. He wanted to immediately use his long spear to clear the obstacles in front of him and be the most outstanding student!


    "Hiss..."


    Wei Jiaming took a deep breath. Following that, his wrist shook and the tip of the spear was aimed at the silver mandarin duck des on Deng Li''s chest. Following that, he stomped his right leg fiercely on the ground.


    A cold light first arrived, and then the spear shot out like a dragon!


    The long spear instantly passed through the resistance in the air and struck the crossed mandarin duck des.


    Vibrating spirit energy spread out, followed closely by the sound of fine iron shing against each other.


    In an instant, Deng Li felt a terrifying force being released from his silver des. His expression changed slightly, and he flew back like a bird with broken wings.


    When the assistant at the side saw the situation, he executed a technique to pull Deng Li back so that he would not suffer any injuries.


    Deng Li''s face was deathly pale. He felt his hands go numb, and his chest hurt so much that he could not breathe.


    Right then, he looked at his silver des again. The des, which were made of fine steel, had caved in by half an inch at this point. They were not far from turning into scrap metal.


    Seeing this, he suddenly raised his head to look at his opponent, fear filling his heart even more.


    If his opponent''s strength had been a third stronger, the sharp spear would have probably pierced through his defense and his chest!<sub> </sub>


    "Wei Jiaming wins. Three points!"


    Hearing the assistant announce the result, the corners of Wei Jiaming''s mouth curled up slightly. He subconsciously looked down the stage and quickly spotted Wu Mo in the crowd.


    Wu Mo was standing at the side and staring calmly at Wei Jiaming who was on the stage. He was not surprised by Wei Jiaming''s appearance.


    "Just you wait! In a while, your end will be worse than anyone else''s."


    Wei Jiaming stretched out his hand and gave Wu mo a thumbs-up. The meaning of his action was self-evident!


    Facing Wei Jiaming''s provocation, Wu Mo''s expression remained unchanged.


    He just smiled faintly and did not pay his former defeated opponent much mind.


    Over in the judge''s seat, the old principal had seen how outstanding Wei Jiaming''s spear technique was. The offensive nature of his weapon was obvious to everyone, and he could be considered a good student.


    The principal nodded slightly, feeling rather satisfied in his heart.


    Meanwhile, the mayor next to him waspletely focused on seeing how he would test Wu Mo. The mayor did not care about Wei Jiaming at all.


    "Wei Jiaming, do you wish to remain on the assessment stage and continue challenging the next contestant?" the assistant dressed in formal attire nodded slightly and asked as per usual.


    "Since I''m already up here, there''s no reason to go down. I, Wei Jiaming, only wish to defeat others!"


    He held the spear in one hand and swept the tip of the spear across the ground, giving off a valiant aura as he spoke fearlessly.


    "Good. If you can defeat the other students in session, your score will also rise. The maximum score is 15 points!"


    The assistant exined the rules once more. A momentter, the red number balls on the big screen jumped again and stopped after a few breaths. A numbered ball with "18" written on it rolled down.


    No. 4, Wei Jiaming, VS No. 18, Lin Sheng!


    After he confirmed who his opponent was, Lin Sheng immediately walked up to the assessment tform in three steps and looked at Wei Jiaming cautiously.


    Wei Jiaming''s previous performance had been excellent. His silver spear had almost pierced through the silver des. Such strength was enough to make all his opponents shudder.


    However, Lin Sheng''s strength was not low either. He was ranked 18th among the less than 100 students left. His project was called the Phoenix-headed Ax, and it was iid with gemstones.


    The ax body was about 30 cm long, and the de was more than 10 cm long. It glinted with a cold light, and there was an array carved on it.


    Its whole body emitted a thick dark blue color as if it was only one step away from being a Premium-grade weapon.


    Lin Sheng held his Phoenix-headed Ax tightly. While he had been adjusting his breathing, he had constantly observed his opponent''s attack patterns and habits, hoping to win with one strike.


    However, Wei Jiaming did not see him as a threat. Although the ax was good for cutting, the weapon was only a Rare-grade weapon, so it could not cause any substantial damage to his spear.


    As long as he could easily parry, he would block his opponent''s attack for sure.


    Therefore, this time, Wei Jiaming had no interest in making the first move. Instead, he let his opponent attack first.


    He wanted to let everyone know that the product that he, Wei Jiaming, had refined not only possessed excellent offensive power but also strong defense!


    Very soon, his second offensive power test began.


    Lin Sheng, who was holding the Phoenix-headed Ax, widened his eyes. He mustered all the strength in his body and activated the Phoenix-headed Ax''s effect at the same time. Then, he immediately shed at his opponent''s spear.


    In terms of attack power, Lin Sheng was indeed inferior to Wei Jiaming. However, the Phoenix-headed Ax''s power was not inferior to that of other weapons.


    Moreover, the weapon forged by Lin Sheng had an additional effect that could destroy other equipment.


    If this sh were tond, his opponent''s spear would most likely be cut in half!


    "Ha!" he roared angrily.


    His legs were firmly nted on the assessment tform like tree roots as he twisted his body and swung his right arm. All the strength in his body went from the tip of his feet to his arm.

 Chapter 84 Battle Of Hatred, The Teachers Propose An Actual Combat Test!

    The Phoenix-headed Ax created a series of rushing wind sounds, and its blue radiance became even brighter!


    Fwoosh!


    An intense sound swept across the entire auditorium.


    The ax''s de came into contact with the silver spear, and a tremendous force was transmitted between the two weapons.


    At that moment, the huge inertia caused the ax de to instantly cut through the silver spear, slicing half an inch deep!


    However, before Lin Sheng could rejoice, the kic energy in the Phoenix-headed Ax suddenly dissipated, and the whole thing died down.


    A tinge of pain shed in Wei Jiaming''s eyes. With a flick of his wrist, he flung the ax de away. When he saw the cracks on the body of his spear, his heart ached endlessly!


    This spear had been forged using a die-forging method. The metal on the spear''s body was extremelypact and exceptionally tough. He did not expect someone else to cut it so easily. Fortunately, its basic form was not injured. Otherwise, he would have suffered a huge loss this time!


    On the other hand, Lin Sheng''s Phoenix-headed Ax had cracks on it due to the energy''s reaction. Clearly, it could not be used anymore!


    Witnessing the situation, the assistant immediately gathered what had happened and announced the results of the test.


    "Wei Jiaming wins, plus four points!"


    Following his announcement, the test score on the screen was updated again. At this moment, Wei Jiaming surpassed Wu Mo and took first ce with a score of 41!


    Wu Mo, who had full marks in the previous four tests, was now ranked second.


    "Tsk... This person named Wei Jiaming is a little fierce."


    "He''s an expert. He actually surpassed Wu Mo. It looks like there will be a good show to watchter."


    The students below discussed the matter animatedly. Everyone looked at Wei Jiaming on the stage in surprise.


    Not only was he the first to choose to keep dueling, but he even defeated two students consecutively. His strength was formidable!


    Aside from the students below, thepany representatives who had been invited to spectate also had expressions of admiration on their faces.


    The tremendous strength that Wei Jiaming had disyed, as well as his courageous attitude, matched the image of a youth in their hearts. They all started to praise him one after another.


    "Principal Qiu, your academy really has quite a number of talents!" Zhao Lu said with a surprised expression while seated.


    "Hehe... Mayor, you must be joking. Our Divine Arms Academy has always cultivated outstanding talents and served the society of Shanglin City. Naturally, we wouldn''t dare tire ourselves."


    The principal smiled humbly.


    "Interesting."


    Zhou Jinlong rubbed his nose. At this juncture, he was looking forward to the final battle. Just how many outstanding individuals would be able to disy their strengths?


    As Wei Jiaming ascended to the top of the academy, more and more students wanted to challenge him.


    However, in terms of strength, Wei Jiaming was one of the best in the entire Divine Arms Academy. The strength of those students who randomly came to challenge him was uneven.


    Most of them could not take on Wei Jiaming''s attacks.


    The long spear in his hand flipped and flew. A casual thrust from him usually sent people flying several meters away. Even the slightly stronger ones could only hold on for a short while, but ultimately, they could not escape defeat.


    By now, Wei Jiaming had already defeated eight people consecutively, and he had obtained the maximum 15 points in the offensive power assessment.


    He had been exhausting his physical strength and refusing to step down because he wanted to keep winning until he met Wu Mo!


    After all, he hade here with a deep grudge. If he could not openly deal with Wu Mo in front of everyone, it would be difficult for him to quell the hatred in his heart!


    Furthermore, his family had also made a considerable sacrifice for the sake of his current n.


    "Who else is left?"


    Wei Jiaming swung his spear like it was a dragon''s tail, directly shattering his opponent''s ring saber. The enormous energy caused his opponent to vomit blood and retreat.<sub> </sub>


    As blood sttered on the assessment stage, his spear was dyed with the color of peach blossom!


    At that moment, he held his spear with both hands and assumed a stance for battle. The domineering air in his expression could not be concealed.


    However, countless students below the stage were afraid of him. They were all praying that they would not be unlucky enough to meet him.


    "D*mn, it''s clearly just an offensive power test, but he''s turning it into an arena. Is it that great if he can fight?"


    Below the stage, a young man began to mutter in a low voice.


    He used the most arrogant tone to say the most cowardly words.


    "Of course, it''s great that he can fight. Not only is his spear well-made, but his skills aren''t bad too. Thebination of the two makes him better than the average person."


    "I''m only disappointed that no one can defeat him now. If he were to meet the top three, how could he be so arrogant? He''s just been lucky."


    Everyone had their own opinions on Wei Jiaming''s mor. Other than Han Cheng, Tang Mu, and Wu Mo who were not afraid of Wei Jiaming, no one else wanted to be his opponent.


    Meanwhile, the red number ball on the big screen continued to roll. Everyone closed their eyes and prayed, afraid that their future careers would be ruined because of that madman.


    As the rolling slowed down, a red ball with a single digit fell out.


    No. 2, Wu Mo VS No. 1, Wei Jiaming!


    Everyone was very surprised when they saw the random result.


    Previously, they had thought that these two would only meet in the finals. They never expected this moment to arrive so early.


    The match-up immediately piqued the interest of the three judges on the stage.


    When Wei Jiaming saw Wu Mo on stage, his heart beat even faster.


    "Long time no see! Wu Mo, I''ve been waiting for you! I''ll slowly return the stick you gave mest time, one shot at a time!"


    Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Wei Jiaming stared at Wu Mo and spoke in a trembling voice.


    Wu Mo''s expression did not change. He snapped his fingers lightly, and the next second, Mjolnir appeared in his hand.


    "I thought that the previous lesson would have helped you understand the gap between us. But it seems that your hysteria still needs to be treated with stronger medicine!"


    His tone was indifferent, and a smile formed at the corner of his mouth.


    The audience below the stage held their breaths when they saw that the two of them were already at loggerheads before the battle even began. They wanted to see how their battle would end!


    "Principal Qiu, in your opinion, which of the two students will win?"


    In the judges'' seats, Zhou Jinlong held his chin with one hand and asked with a curious expression.


    "Haha, anything is possible when ites to this duel. This old man doesn''t dare to jump to conclusions."


    Principal Qiu did not give a direct answer. Instead of making a careless mistake, he handed it over to time to tell.


    "Not bad. This is what makes a duel. I''m looking forward to how Wu Mo will deal with this troublesome battle."


    Zhao Lu raised his eyebrows with a look of anticipation.


    ...


    "Tenth Elder, the Wei family''s child can still participate in the design assessment. The Wei family must have done something!"


    In the VIP seats, Manager Gao Yue was sitting with a worried look on his face.


    "Hmph... The Wei family is so big, yet they do such dirty things. I have a feeling that they''ll do more than that. They''ll definitely take the opportunity to attack Wu Mo!" the tenth elder held his chair and said with a determined tone.


    That instant, Wei Ying, who was not far away from them, seemed to sense something and nced in the tenth elder''s direction.

 Chapter 85 Still Advertising, Come And Receive Your Death!

    Their gazes met. Even though they were more than 10 meters apart, they could still feel the other''s killing intent.


    "I hope that brat, Wu Mo, has a way to deal with this. We''re only invited spectators, and we have no right to interfere with their battle."


    The tenth elder looked at the slender figure on the stage and sighed.


    As he spoke, he fixed his eyes on the assessment stage again.


    At that moment, the assistant dressed in formal attire saw how silent the students were and how sharply opposed to each other they were. He was ready to begin.


    However, right then, an ice-cold voice interrupted him as he prepared to speak.


    "Wait a moment!"


    The crowd was already prepared, but the sudden voice stopped the duel. The people immediately turned their heads and realized that the person who had spoken was a teacher amongst the jury.


    The teacher was around sixty years old. His hair was a little sparse, but his spirit was hale and hearty.


    Seeing everyone''s puzzled gazes, he promptly stood up. Then, he cupped his hands with a serious expression and spoke to the principal who was sitting in the judge''s seat.


    "Mr. Principal, I request to change the rules of this test. Since these two students are simr in strength, if they only attack each other once, it''s likely that the winner will not be determined. Therefore, I request to change this single-strike test to actualbat!"


    The elder teacher''s tone was calm, but it carried a sonorous attitude.


    Be that as it may, the students below the stage did not find his actions appropriate. They were all taking the test together, so why could those two fellows have different rules?


    Besides, the rules proposed by the teacher were not fair to Wu Mo.


    After all, there was an old saying that went, "An inch long is an inch stronger, an inch short is an inch more danger."


    The long spear in Wei Jiaming''s hand had arge range of attack, while Wu Mo''s silver hammer could not even reach a meter away. If they engaged in an actual battle, Wu Mo would probably be stabbed by Wei Jiaming before he could even swing his hammer.


    Under such rules, Wei Jiaming had the absolute advantage. It was extremely unfair, and they would deviate from the design assessment''s purpose.


    Thus, many people felt that the principal would not agree to such a request.


    "Approved! These two students are not shabby in terms of strength. If we followed the current rules, it would indeed be impossible to determine the victor."


    The principal smiled as he responded and looked at the elderly teacher with a gentle expression.


    The principal''s words caused those who were certain that Wu Mo would not pass to be dumbfounded.


    "This... What else can he say?"


    "It''s a p to the face. I didn''t think that he would be able to do such a thing!"


    "Did that bullsh*t teacher ept a bribe and side with Wei Jiaming?"


    The crowd was engaged in a lively discussion. Meanwhile, the elderly teacher sat down and did not pay any attention to the doubters around him.


    At this point, the assistant had no choice but to follow the principal''s instructions and get the two students to stand apart to prepare for the actual battle. At the same time, he had to exin the rules and remind them not to injure their opponent severely on purpose.


    Wei Jiaming retreated a few meters back with a smile on his face, seemingly eager to battle.


    Actually, even before Wu Mo stepped onto the stage, he had already known that their test would turn into full-onbat.


    It was not only because the Wei family had prearranged everything, but the teacher who had just raised his opinion was also a distant rtive of the Wei family.


    Thanks to this scheme, Wei Jiaming was able to gain an advantage before the battle.


    "Haha, it seems that even the heavens can''t sit idly by. If you want me to teach you a lesson, wash your neck and await your death!"


    Wei Jiaming''s lips moved slightly as he spoke to provoke Wu Mo.


    "The result is still undecided. Why are you in such a hurry to open the champagne in the middle of the match?"


    Wu Mo did not n to pay attention to Wei Jiaming, but Wei Jiaming was like a dog that could not be shaken off. He disgusted Wu Mo.<sub> </sub>


    At that moment, Wei Jiaming was confident that he had the upper hand and that he would win this battle.


    Therefore, he felt that he had to make good use of this moment before the assessment.


    It would be best if the three leaders could engrave his name in their hearts!


    With that thought, Wei Jiaming immediately raised the long spear in his hand confidently and said, "As long as I have the Wind-breaking Spear in my hand, no student can be my opponent. You have to know that this long spear of mine was produced using die forging. The spear''s body is extremely hard, and the spear''s tip is made of sandstone. It''s enough to pierce through all steel!"


    Wei Jiaming introduced the power of the spear in his hand endlessly. Seeing the shocked faces among the crowd, he felt extremely satisfied.


    "Are you done with your advertisement? Come and ept your death if you''re done!"


    The corner of Wu Mo''s mouth contained a trace of ridicule as he mercilessly exposed the truth.


    Wei Jiaming was proudly introducing the functions of his spear, but as soon as Wu Mo spoke, his face turned ashen.


    "F*ck, I''ll kill you!"


    His face turned red, and his heart was filled with fury. He swung the long spear in his hand and tried to stab Wu Mo in the neck.


    The sound of wind whistling could be heard. Facing Wei Jiaming''s thunderous attack, Wu Mo did not panic in the slightest. He activated his Electrostatic Shield, and in the next moment, the long spear instantly stopped three inches in front of him, unable to go any further.


    Looking at the spear tip that trembled nonstop in front of him, Wu Mo sneered and said, "Have you eaten? You don''t even have the strength to hit me?"


    After he said that, he immediately rushed toward Wei Jiaming.


    The electrostatic energy instantly repelled the long spear, leaving Wei Jiaming wide open!


    "Go!"


    Wu Mo used his spirit power to directly control Mjolnir. The hammer, which was shing with golden lightning, quickly dodged Wei Jiaming''s attack and shot toward his arm at an extremely high speed.


    Wei Jiaming hurriedly raised his spear to block it, but a secondter, he heard a series of cracking sounds.


    Under Mjolnir''s powerful attack, the spear that he had forged did not evenst a second. It broke into two pieces from the middle!


    ng! ng!


    The huge force shook Wei Jiaming''s hands so much that both of them trembled, and the broken spear body smashed onto the ground.


    The spear''s steel body shattered, and the entire weapon waspletely destroyed!


    Seeing that the weapon he had poured his blood into waspletely destroyed, Wei Jiaming''s pupils shrank, and his heart bled.


    Wu Mo raised his hand slightly, and the thunder god''s hammer, which had easily broken the spear, flew back in the same direction and finally returned to his grasp.


    All the audience members widened their eyes. Everyone knew of Wei Jiaming''s strength. He had managed to win eight consecutive rounds in a row, That was enough to prove his strength.


    His weapon was also very powerful and tough.


    Even the Phoenix-headed Ax, which was almost Premium grade, could not break it. No one expected that in the end, Wu Mo would break the awe-inspiring silver spear!


    "Tsk tsk, such a beautiful spear. Breaking it is a real pity. The cost of forging it should be at least a million!"


    "How unexpected. I thought that the two of them would be evenly matched. I didn''t expect Wei Jiaming''s spear to fail in prating Wu Mo''s defense!"


    The crowd was a little surprised by the result. For a moment, many students began to discuss among themselves.


    During this time, Wei Jiaming''s hands trembled as he stood on the stage. His expression became even more ferocious due to his anger.


    "Argh... I want you to die!" Wei Jiaming roared furiously.


    He lost all rationality and desperately wanted to kill Wu Mo.

 Chapter 86 The Principal Makes His Move, The Legendary Artifact!

    His initial calm and pride, including his obsession and dignity, had been trampled to the ground by Wu Mo''s strike!


    As such, he fell into a state of madness. There was only one thought in his mind, and that was to kill Wu Mo!


    However, before he could charge forward, the principal rushed over immediately and stopped him. He then asked his assistant to push Wei Jiaming away.


    Unfortunately, Wei Jiaming did not have time to exact revenge before losing all his options for retreat.


    His weapon was broken and destroyed, so he did not have a chance to graduate as an outstanding student anymore.


    Therefore, when the ranking list was updated on the screen, Wu Mo remained in the number one spot. Moreover, the update increased his score to 45 points, which was much higher than the score in second ce.


    Wu Mo was first on the leaderboard again. Some people were happy, while others were sad.


    Among them, the Wei family members sitting in the VIP seats were the most agitated.


    Wei Ying''s face was a little sullen. When his nails dug into his flesh, he did not visibly react.


    A few family members behind him also had ugly expressions on their faces. They sat in their seats as if they were sitting on pins and needles.


    "Wu Mo wins the offensive power duel!"


    The assistant announced the results of the match.


    Wu Mo was just about to leave when the principal on the assessment tform suddenly spoke up with a smile. "Wu Mo, your current assessment score is only five points. You''ll need to fight another four battles before you can obtain the remaining ten points. However, I believe that it won''t be too difficult for you and that it will just be a waste of time."


    "I have a good idea, though. If you can effectively attack me, I''ll give you all 10 points in one go. How about that?"


    The principal looked at Wu Mo with a smile. He was not anxious at all. He just waited quietly for his reply.


    He believed that Wu Mo would definitely agree to his conditions!


    However, before Wu Mo could react, the students below the stage could no longer sit still.


    In this design assessment, Wu Mo had undoubtedly be the entire venue''s focal point. Not only was the mayor personally participating in the test, but Principal Qiu was also paying special attention to Wu Mo.


    Such treatment was unique.


    "Since the principal has already made his decision, I, Wu Mo, will not decline."


    Wu Mo bowed slightly as a form ofmitment.


    He was a low-profile person and did not want to steal attention from others like the rest.


    With that said, being able to obtain the remaining points in one go was much easier for him.


    So, why not?


    "Haha, let''s begin then. Let me see how powerful your offense is and whether you can break through the defense of a weapon I personally forged!"


    Principal Qiuughed.


    Subsequently, he looked into the void, and a purple light shed in the sky. Soon after, an ancient copper mirror appeared in his hand.


    The mirror was only the size of his palm. Auspicious cloud patterns were carved around it, and a ck gemstone was iid on top.


    The mirror did not seem to reflect any light, and its surface was a little old. It seemed to be an ordinary old item.


    However, Wu Mo knew that as a six-star cksmith, the principal could not possibly treasure an ordinary item.


    ''System, appraise the properties of this copper mirror.''


    His eyes glinted as he thought to himself.

    [Equipment Effect: 1. zed Heart (reflects damage to the enemy, causing the same amount of damage. Note: It can only reflect attacks from weapons below Legendary. Cooldown: 24 hours)

    [4. Shield (gains energy every second. After receiving an attack, it will consume the same amount of energy to block the attack. Energy limit is 1000 points. At full capacity, it can block a full-strength attack from a six-star martial artist.)

    [Additional Mystery Rune (no one or technique can lock onto it)


    [Equipment Evaluation: This piece of equipment has been polished countless times. Its grade is close to that of Divine-grade equipment, but it can never reach that level!]


    A light blue system interface appeared before Wu Mo. The long list of dazzling effects made Wu Mo sigh at the zed Heart-protection Mirror''s power.


    "Is this the strength of a six-star cksmith?"


    He swallowed his saliva and sighed internally.


    Although Wu Mo had personally forged Divine-grade equipment, 85% of it was due to the system.


    Mjolnir''s blueprint had allowed him to avoid countless detours, and the backtracking effect had helped him experience numerous failures unlike his peers.


    As for the Divine-grade Forging Space, it had given him unlimited possibilities, allowing his hard work to be rewarded countless times over!


    However, Principal Qiu had relied on himself for everything, immersing himself in the forging field for his entire life.


    He only wanted to forge a Divine weapon, but he had never been able to achieve this goal.


    Even though he had honed his forging technique for decades, even though he was already so old and frail, he was still a hair''s breadth away from forging a Divine weapon.


    Just for that short distance, Principal Qiu might have to spend his entire life closing the gap.


    At this moment, Wu Mo finally understood the difficulty of forging a Divine weapon.


    "No wonder it costs 100 points to appraise a piece of equipment. I didn''t expect it to be of Legendary grade!"


    Wu Mo thought about it in his heart and immediately felt relieved.


    By now, Principal Qiu had already activated the copper mirror in front of him, unleashing its defensive effects.


    "Let''s begin, Wu Mo. Use your strongest move and let this old man see your strength," Principal Qiu said with a benevolent expression.


    Wu Mo nodded and tightened his grip on Mjolnir.


    He controlled it with his spirit power, and the thunder god''s hammer immediately flew out like an arrow leaving the bowstring, shooting toward the copper mirror.


    Although the copper mirror looked fragile, the mayor could not take his eyes off it in his seat. It had a strong aura.


    Buzz!


    A muffled sound rang out, and Mjolnir hit the copper mirror hard.


    At the next moment, however, the ancient copper mirror did not shatter as the others had expected.


    A ripple appeared, and the surface of the copper mirror continued to be covered in dust as before.


    Wu Mo took two steps forward and grabbed his hammer. He jumped up and gave the copper mirror a heavy hit.


    Yet, the copper mirror was still intact. There was only a light thud when Mjolnir hit it. Terrifying energy blocked it before it could even touch the copper mirror.


    Whether Wu Mo used ordinary attacks or his self-taught <anno data-annotation-id="2eed3902-125e-1c75-ce2a-c3b892d1d17b">Chaotic Cloak Hammer technique</anno>, it was useless.


    "As expected, this zed Heart-protection Mirror''s defense is incredibly strong!"


    Wu Mo heaved a sigh of relief. He rotated his wrist slightly, and in an instant, intense golden light appeared on the surface of the hammer. Right after, golden lightning struck the zed Heart-protection Mirror not far away!


    Bang!


    Everyone heard a loud sound.


    The zed Heart-protection Mirror in Principal Qiu''s hand trembled all of a sudden, and the condensed aura shield in front of him stirred up ripples. It only stabilized after a few seconds.

 Chapter 87 Upgrade To Spherical Lightning, Wu Mo Is Still The Champion!

    Indeed, it was still a useful attack spell!


    Wu Mo lowered his eyes slightly and activated his offensive skill again. Streaks of golden lightning swept over in an instant, creating hideous cracks on the aura shield.


    Unfortunately, the aura shield was supported by the energy within the zed Heart-protection Mirror. That was enough to repair it.


    However, Wu Mo could also use his lightning attack many times. Once he discovered that the lightning was effective against the mirror, he used it like a barrage of cannons.


    Its impact on the aura shield caused a series of changes.


    By then, the students below the assessment stage were already somewhat numb. Even though there was lightning and thunder on the stage, they remained quiet. Compared with before, they had adapted a lot.


    In contrast, Wei Jiaming, who had been pulled to the side, still looked pale. It seemed that he had not recovered from the grief of having his beloved weapon damaged!


    Meanwhile, Principal Qiu could not help but feel a little worried when he noticed the zed Heart-protection Mirror in his hand start to heat up.


    If the same attack were tond on the other students, he could not see how they would survive.


    The attack power alone was sufficient to prove that the hammer in Wu Mo''s hand was of Legendary grade or above!


    The golden lightning struck the aura shield like a violent storm, and Principal Qiu did not allow himself to be distracted. He used his mental energy to control it, afraid that if he was not careful, there would be a hole in his body.


    At that moment, he finally understood what the mayor had been thinking.


    A student had beaten him to a draw. If there was a hole in the ground, he wanted to crawl into it.


    Unlike Principal Qiu''s cautious attitude, Wu Mo was behaving like a battering ram. The bigger the crack, the more excited he became.


    The reason was, he had discovered that Mjolnir''s Lightning skill actually had proficiency levels.


    The system interface showed that the more he used it, the higher his proficiency would be. As long as he broke through three digits, he would be able to upgrade it into an even more powerful attack!


    By then, his proficiency had continuously risen to 90 points as he bombarded his opponent''s zed Heart-protection Mirror.


    However, the heart-protection mirror was still strong. Even though he had consumed a lot of energy, he still could not break it. That meant he had not passed the assessment.


    "Lightning!"


    When his proficiency reached 99 points, Wu Mo once again used Mjolnir''s skill with all his might.


    In the next moment, an ethereal voice echoed.


    [Lightning skill proficiency has reached the standard. Skill upgraded to Spherical Lightning (condenses into a ball of lightning, causing a huge amount of damage to the target. This damage bypasses 30% of the opponent''s defense)!]


    Right then, the golden lightning that had originally been condensed expanded abruptly and continued to condense in the air until it became a ball!


    The ball-shaped lightning in mid-air flickered with golden light, and those who were illuminated by it like the sun could not help but narrow their eyes.


    "Go!"


    Wu Mo''s spirit power moved, and in the next moment, the ball-shaped lightning shot out at high speed and smashed directly into the palm-sized copper mirror.


    Boom!


    A violent explosion sounded, and the resulting st wave shook the entire auditorium.


    Holding the zed Heart-protection Mirror in both hands, Principal Qiu was forced several steps back by the shock wave.


    Streaks of golden lightning then pierced through the mirror''s aura shield.


    The powerful lightning connected Principal Qiu, Wei Jiaming, and the elderly teacher who had rushed over from the judging panel.


    Lightning shed, and Principal Qiu felt a numbing sensation all over his body.


    Since he was still wearing other defensive equipment, he was not electrocuted.


    However, Wei Jiaming and the elderly teacher who had advocated actualbat were both electrocuted by the intense lightning. As a result, their bodies trembled uncontrobly.


    Crash!


    Seeing that Wu Mo''s attack had prated the zed Heart-protection Mirror, the mayor was shocked, and he stood up from his seat in excitement.<sub> </sub>


    He stared at Wu Mo with burning eyes and cried out, "It must be true. You must have caused the phenomenon in the sky that I saw the other day!"


    When Wu Mo saw the mayor staring at him and losing hisposure, hewas a little dumbfounded.


    ''What strange phenomenon in the sky? Wasn''t it a thunderstorm caused by a spirit venerable martial artist ascending to the upper realm?


    ''What does it have to do with me?''


    However, the mayor was not the only one to lose hisposure. Even the usually calm principal was staring at the zed Heart-protection mirror in his hand in disbelief.


    At that moment, he could sense that the energy within the mirror had been swept clean. To block the Spherical Lightning that Wu Mo had released, he had exhausted all of his energy.


    "This... is a Divine artifact?"


    His gaze was fixed on the silver hammer in Wu Mo''s hand. The excitement in his heart could not be released for a long time.


    He had spent his entire life on the path of forging, devoting himself to studying Divine artifact. Yet, in the end, his strength was inferior to that of a four-star cksmith.


    Was this not a cruel blow as well?


    Tears flickered in his slightly dazed eyes. After a moment of hesitation, he decided to let go of the obsession in his heart.


    Raising his head, he stared deeply at Wu Mo before him. Sighing deeply, he said, "The future will ultimately be the next generation''s stage. You have passed the offensive power test and obtained 10 points!"


    Right then, there was an uproar below the stage.


    "Even Principal Qiu isn''t a match for Wu Mo. Is this person really just a student?"


    "This is simply unbelievable. God knows how much shock this student named Wu Mo has given us!"


    "Divine weapon... Is the hammer that he forged really a Divine weapon?!"


    The crowd''s numb hearts somewhat moved.


    Meanwhile, Zhou Jinlong, who was the only one sitting upright in the judge''s seat, revealed the trace of a smile.


    His eyes were filled with anticipation as he looked at Wu Mo. One could say that Wu Mo''s actions hadpletely aroused his deep interest!


    "Mayor, I think it''s still too early for you to be excited. Isn''t the next round of assessment on control? When the timees, I will personally go on stage and conduct the final assessment for this student!"


    "If Wu Mo can pass my assessment, it won''t be toote for you to be excited!"


    Zhou Jinlong''s face was filled with anticipation. The strength disyed by Wu Mo had already attracted his attention and interest. Now that there was a chance, he had to personally go up and participate in the assessment!


    Seeing Zhou Jinlong''s abnormal expression.


    Zhao Lu and Principal Qiu who were at the side immediately looked at each other in dismay.


    They had a premonition that although Zhou Jinlong was a member of the National Research Institute, Wu Mo would definitely defeat him!


    The assessment for offensive power was still going on in the auditorium.


    It was just that the standard of the test had returned to two opponents attacking each other.


    That aside, the number of students who passed in the end was pitiful.


    There were less than 30 people left.


    Jiang Mengyao, on the other hand, felt regretful as she was eliminated in the fifth round of the test.


    Although her dual swords were of Premium grade, she was unlucky to meet Qian Rong, who had used rebar steel to forge his long sword.


    Ultimately, her defense was weak and her dual swords were directly broken.


    She ranked 35th.


    For now, Wu Mo was still firmly in first ce with a score of 55 points on the screen.


    It felt like a sword was hanging over all the students'' heads.

 Chapter 88 Control Skill Test, Black-Tech Magic Crystal Cannon!

    It was a mountain that they could not climb no matter how hard they tried.


    Wu Mo was ranked first with 55 points.


    Han Cheng was ranked second with 43 points.


    Qian Rong was ranked third with 42 points.


    Tang Mu was ranked seventh with 39 points.


    Jing Yuan was ranked ninth with 38 points.


    There were 28 eligible participants remaining on the field!


    The quota had been set, and all the students present were giving their all to perform at their best.


    However, the sixth round of the assessment was quietly approaching, and the host marched up to the assessment tform.


    At that point, most of the remaining students were pale-faced and had little energy left.


    "For the final control test, the rules are as follows:


    "The remaining students present will be divided into groups of 10. After the start of the test, they can freely use their control skills. As long as their opponents are hit by the magic crystal bullets, they will be eliminated. The elimination of one person will be calcted as 4 points, and a student can earn a maximum of 10 points.


    "Thest four people in each group will automatically advance. If the winner does not use control skills to eliminate anyone, it will be considered a failure!"


    As the host spoke, he walked to the edge of the assessment tform.


    An unknown machine covered in a white silk cloth had been ced there.


    Judge Zhou Jinlong had arranged for it to be ced there after the end of the fifth assessment.


    "The test this time will grant us the top 10 out of 28. If you sessfullyplete the test but score less than 40 points overall, you will also fail!"


    After the host finished speaking, he immediately raised the white silk cloth covering the machine. Everyone focused their eyes and saw a machine that was more than a meter tall!


    The entire machine was silvery-white in color, and there were four fixed pirs below it.


    A long horn-shaped cannon barrel was aimed at the center of the assessment tform, and behind it was an energy-gathering slot.


    As long as there were magic crystals to provide energy, this ck technology called the Magic Crystal Cannon would continuously shoot out magic crystal bullets.


    Its range of power could be anywhere from light water bullets to missiles. Provided that enough magic crystals were put in, even a mountain could be easily blown up!


    Faced with the dark barrel, the students could not remain calm.


    "Don''t be afraid. There won''t be any danger in your assessment. I have adjusted this machine to its lowest power, so it won''t harm anyone."


    At that moment, Zhou Jinlong from the National Artifact Research Department walked up to the assessment tform expectantly and spoke to everyone with a smile.


    The remaining students exchanged looks and saw the uncertainty in each other''s eyes.


    Throughout the assessment, the special guest judge, Zhou Jinlong, had often put on a poker face. Many people thought that was just how he was.


    Now that he was smiling all of a sudden, many students felt goosebumps in their hearts.


    "Alright, everyone, it''s gettingte. After thisst round of the assessment, you will all bepletely free to go home and celebrate with enviable results!"


    Seeing that the students were still a little worried, Zhou Jinlong immediately encouraged them.


    The assistant at the side pressed the remote control, and the screen once again switched to the red balls with random numbers.


    The fact was, the students who had made it this far were already considered the best.


    They were by no means weak, and their forged projects had tested well in all aspects.


    Even if they gave up now, they could still gain the favor of bigpanies.


    However, those students were not willing to leave just like that. Their goal was to be outstanding students!


    "Let''spete then. We''ve alreadye this far, so how can we be afraid?!" acksmith with a buzz cut clenched his fists and said.


    "I want to see who else can obtain the outstanding student certificate aside from me!"


    Many were not willing to admit defeat, and they began to look at the rolling screen enthusiastically.


    In a short moment, ten red balls fell one after another.<sub> </sub>


    Seeing the numbers on the balls, many students quickly walked up to the assessment stage. They looked like they were ready to die, and a few teachers amongst the jury stared at them.


    "It''s a pity that I can''t fight with you anymore!"


    Jiang Mengyao looked at the ten students on the stage and sighed.


    Her dual des had been broken into a few pieces, so she put them into her bag. She seemed a little down.


    "It''s okay. It''s not easy to even get to this point. Why are you so hard on yourself?"


    Wu Mo lowered his head and smiled gently. He reached out and touched Mengyao''s soft hair.


    "Um... okay."


    Mengyao''s petite face turned red, and her voice became much softer.


    On the assessment tform, Researcher Zhou Jinlong adjusted the machine and took out a small magic crystal from his portable belt.


    He put the magic crystal into the energy slot behind the Magic Crystal Cannon, and colorful light was immediately released.


    As the Magic Crystal Cannon warmed up, it produced a buzzing sound


    Several of the students could not help but take a few more nces. Although Judge Zhou assured them that they would be fine, they still felt uncertain when they heard the sound that was akin to a rocketunching.


    Right then, most of the ten people on the stage were ranked in the top 20, and a few students were ranked very high.


    Han Cheng and Qian Rong were among them.


    The ten students were standing less than five meters apart from each other, and the circr assessment tform was going to be the Magic Crystal Cannon''s area of attack.


    If they were hit by a magic crystal bullet in the next one minute, they would fail the test straight away.


    This not only tested the students'' reaction speed but also their various weapons or equipment''s control effects.


    "I now announce themencement of the control test''s first round!" Zhou Jinlong said expressionlessly.


    Immediately after, he pressed the Magic Crystal Cannon''s activation!


    Bang!


    At that very second, they heard a muffled sound.


    The students turned their heads to look and saw beams of light shooting out from the cannon toward those on stage at an extremely high speed.


    The magic crystal bullets took on an oval shape. They were about six centimeters long, but their speed exceeded fifty meters per second.


    The students did not have much time to react.


    As the test began, the students quickly activated their weapons'' defenses.


    Fwoosh fwoosh!


    Suddenly, the sound of rushing wind rang out.


    A student on the right was hit by a sudden gust of wind and turbulence. As a result, his body unwittingly froze on the spot.


    Then, a magic crystal bullet instantly hit him, and he flew several meters back.


    Upon seeing the first eliminated person, the remaining nine on the stage could not help but tense up.


    "You said the magic crystal bullet had no power, but it can blow people back. You told us it had no power!"


    When he saw the students'' shocked gazes, Zhou Jinlong, who was controlling the magic crystal bullets, smiled.


    "Look, no one is injured. This cannon''s power is already at the lowest level."


    As he said that, he shifted the muzzle of the cannon, and countless magic crystal bullets immediately poured out.


    Everyone activated their defensive skills or elerated to dodge, while they cursed in their hearts!


    ''D*mn it!''


    The student who had been sent flying by the magic crystal bullet limped off the stage with a relieved look on his face.


    Although he was no longer qualified to be in the running as a top student, his test score was still good. After graduation, he could easily join a state-owned enterprise like Tianji.

 Chapter 89 Clearing The Battlefield

    The elimination of the first person instantly put the other students on high alert.


    They had made it this far with great difficulty, and they did not want to be sted off the stage by the Magic Crystal Cannon in a sorry state. Thus, the remaining students all disyed their defensive and movement techniques.


    They dodged left and right on the assessment stage, afraid that they would be the next person to be eliminated.


    Right then, a tall young man set his sights on Han Cheng, who was holding a shield. He immediately activated his weapon''s additional effect and shed at Han Cheng with his saber.


    His saber''s aura came with scorching mes, but Han Cheng was still trying his best to block the iing magic crystal bullets. When he sensed the spirit energy fluctuation behind him, his expression changed slightly.


    He was a genius ranked third on the list, so he reacted in an instant.


    As he activated his equipment''s effect, the center of therge shield in his hand cracked open, and a wave of dark green aura emerged. It turned around and shot toward the student who had ambushed him.


    Han Cheng directly blocked the scorching de aura that came at him with his powerfulrge shield, diffusing the mes into nothingness.


    The young man was hit by a dark green gas instead. He immediately felt his entire body go weak and copsed to the ground.


    Just then, magic crystal bullets with colorful lights arrived from afar.


    Before he could react, he was blown off the assessment tform.


    "Hehe, if you want to me someone, me yourself for choosing the wrong target," Han Cheng said with a smile while he carried hisrge shield.


    He raised his head to look at the screen. At this time, Han Cheng''s assessment score was already close to Qian Rong''s, and he was about to reach second ce.


    However, standing behind the Magic Crystal Cannon, Zhou Jinlong, who was controlling the mechanism, still felt somewhat dissatisfied with how slow the elimination process was going.


    He frowned slightly and thought of a solution.


    "Attention, students. The Magic Crystal Cannon will go into second gear soon. When that happens, the power of the magic crystal bullets will increase slightly, and the swarm of bullets will also be denser!"


    Zhou Jinlong revealed a smile after he spoke. Without waiting for the other students to react, he pressed the button for the Magic Crystal Cannon''s second gear.


    Click ck!


    The sound of gears turning from inside the machine could be heard. In the next moment, the oval-shaped magic crystal bullets, which were originally only the length of a finger, expanded to more than ten centimeters long. There were so many of them that they were uncountable.


    The swarming magic crystal bullets directly sent the few students closest to them flying.


    It gave the others a short time to react, and they immediately began to defend themselves.


    Han Cheng held the big shield in front of him, trying to cover his body as much as possible so that the magic crystal bullets would not cause any damage to him.


    However, when the crackling bullets hit, the big shield could not really withstand them. Waves of enormous recoil force bombarded Han Cheng''s body, forcing him to continuously retreat.


    "Arghhh! I can''t block them anymore!"


    In first gear, the students could still use their weapons to deflect the magic crystal bullets. However, the magic crystal bullets were denser than before. The students could no longer hold on, and they were all swept out of the battlefield.


    After a short time, only five people were left on the stage.


    Seeing that they would lose if they did not eliminate at least one person, the remaining five people used their crowd-control skills.


    Lightning, icicles, and other skills with all kinds of effects flew around. In the chaotic battle, three students on the field finally met the requirements to advance.


    At this moment, Qian Rong was holding his greatsword, and his entire body was drenched in sweat. The de that was made of rebar steel was slightly uneven after experiencing a great battle. It was no longer as imposing as it was in the beginning.


    The shield in Han Cheng''s hand was also wearing out. After taking countless magic crystal bullets head-on, the surface of the shield had been scraped off, revealing the mixed materials underneath.<sub> </sub>


    The high-tech cannon, which had released numerous magic crystal bullets, finally stopped. A wisp of green smoke rose, drawing an end to the somewhat cruel battle.


    Hu...


    The remaining three people looked at each other, their eyes filled with lingering fear and gratitude.


    "I announce that the control test for the first group has ended. Han Cheng, Qian Rong, and Zeng Doli have passed!"


    Seeing this, the assistant at the side promptly reported the test results.


    In just the first control test, seven students had lost the chance to be outstanding students.


    Based on this alone, one could see that this test was much more brutal than the previous ones.


    The three students left the assessment tform following the assistant''s instructions. They were ready to go to the rest area to recover their physical strength and prepare for the final battle.


    In the nearby VIP seats, manypany representatives kept whispering to each other, discussing the results of the assessment.


    "That Han Cheng is really strong. Even when he was ambushed, he managed to stabilize his mind and turn the situation around. Ourpany needs such talent!"


    "Nonsense. Qian Rong''s actualbat ability is obviously stronger, and his work didn''t suffer much damage. Compared with the other students'' pathetic appearances, he''s clearly steadier!"


    In the eyes of many entrepreneurs, the fact that the three students could survive such a difficult assessment was enough to prove their strength. If they could recruit the students into theirpanies, it would definitely bring them great benefits.


    However, the entrepreneurs were not the only people with such thoughts.


    Even Principal Qiu, who was sitting in the judge''s seat, had his own ns.


    He wanted to keep the outstanding students to serve as the teachers'' assistants.


    After all, it was not easy to nurture an outstanding student, and they had invested a lot of manpower and resources. Unfortunately, most of the students would choose to invest in society after graduation.


    The Divine Arms Academy had sent out many outstanding talents over the years, but the number of good teachers was decreasing.


    If this continued, the Divine Arms Academy would one day end up as a third-rate academy.


    Rather than recruiting from general society, it was better to choose from the graduates.


    That would not only ensure the quality of the teachers but also prevent others from infiltrating their academy!


    <o>,m After all, the students had already studied there for three years, and their family backgrounds and temperament were known to the teachers.</o>


    Furthermore, the Divine Arms Academy was a state-owned enterprise, and its prospects were not any worse than those of onlinepanies. The students had worked hard for three years, and now they would sessfully graduate with excellent results. If they could be part of the academy''s teaching resources, they would definitely be able to resolve their current issues.


    However, only so many students had advanced, so there were not enough of them to be allocated practically.


    Therefore, before the assessment even ended, thepany representatives already started to get into a conflict.


    A momentter, the host once again used the remote and adjusted the screen to show the random number balls.


    There were only two control assessments left before the end of the design assessment. The atmosphere in the entire auditorium gradually grew to a fever pitch.


    Now that they had reached thest test, most of the students'' test scores were final.


    As for the matter of talent distribution, it was enough for those entrepreneurs to fight over it.


    Zhou Jinlong slowly raised his head and stared at the number ball that was rolling on the screen. He thought to himself, ''What was the probability of Wu Mo appearing in the second round?''

 Chapter 90 The Divine Weapons Power

    The reason why he had personally participated in the test was to understand one question: What was Wu Mo''s limit?


    What functions did the silver hammer in his hand not perform?!


    Not long after, the red balls on the screen stopped one after another.


    A string of balls with numbers engraved on them rolled to the side.


    Among them was the number one ball that represented Wu Mo.


    Soon, the students who had their numbers drawn walked up to the assessment tform.


    However, after the first round of assessment, the nervousness on their faces had be even more intense.


    There were too many possibilities in a group of ten. Simrly, their mental energy had to be at full capacity.


    Not only did they have to be wary of other students, but they also had to be constantly aware of the magic crystal bullets that wereing at them.


    In such a high-difficulty assessment, any mistake could cost them all advantages.


    Moreover, it was already at the end of the assessment segment. Any points missed could cost the outstanding students their qualifications.


    Hence, everyone was extremely cautious at this time.


    Wu Mo was not included, though.


    After Wu Mo saw his name on the screen, he held Mjolnir upside down and quickly walked onto the assessment tform.


    He first nced at the Magic Crystal Cannon ced in the corner, then his gazended on the other students.


    There were quite a number of familiar faces in this batch.


    Among them was the ss monitor, Tang Mu, who had always been on bad terms with him, as well as the youth from the same ss who had forged the Premium-grade dagger. There was also the person whom Wu Mo had met in Treasure Pavilion. It was Jing Yuan, who had epted the design task together with him back then.


    Wu Mo remembered that the student named Jing Yuan was familiar with the drawing of folding magic arrays. Although his opponent was ranked lower in the assessment, Wu Mo did not have any thoughts of belittling him.


    While he was not familiar with the rest of the students, he could tell from their assessments that they were all four-star cksmiths.


    They definitely had a shot at being outstanding students.


    Right then, the dozens of teachers on the jury were also staring at the students on the stage.


    As teachers, they also had their own test during graduation season, but theirs was different from the students''.


    If there was an outstanding student in their ss, the teacher would also receive a lot of rewards.


    Not long after, all the students on the stage were ready for their assessment. Seeing this, the assistant next to them immediately announced the start of the second control test.


    Researcher Zhou Jinlong swiftly activated the Magic Crystal Cannon''s switch and aimed the cannon at all the students.


    Everyone stared at the others nervously, but no one made the first move.


    Their gazes met, and most of them stared at Wu Mo.


    Wu Mo''s excellent test results made most people view him as an insurmountable mountain.


    Therefore, they all focused their attention on him.


    Despite that, the stalemate did notst for long. Soon enough, the buzzing sound of the Magic Crystal Cannon broke it.


    Magic crystal bullets then flew over.


    Looking at the iing hail of bullets, Wu Mo immediately activated the defensive skill on his weapon, the Electrostatic Shield.


    The electrostatic field enveloped his entire body. Countless magic crystal bullets hit it, but they did not cause any ripples.


    The students not far away from him also started to go into their defensive stances.


    However, in the control test, not only did they have to be thest survivor, but they also had to eliminate one person to pass. As such, while the students were defending themselves, they were also looking for an opportunity to attack.


    Wu Mo, on the other hand, did not n to waste time. He wanted to test the effect of the Ninth Heaven Lightning!


    He held Mjolnir with both hands before he exerted force from his waist and smashed it onto the assessment stage.<sub> </sub>


    A loud bang was heard.


    Golden lightning immediately appeared around the silver hammer, bringing with it a tremendous force as it created a crack in the stage.


    In an instant, golden lightning flowed along the crack and rapidly transmitted to the feet of every student.


    Those students did not have time to react, and their bodies were struck by the lightning''s power!


    Their entire bodies went numb and weak, unable to move an inch!


    The Ninth Heaven Lightning that Wu Mo had cast was an AOE control skill that came with Mjolnir.


    As long as the golden lightning was transmitted to the ground, it would be able to render all targets within its range immobile.


    Furthermore, once the skill was determined to be effective, no matter what his opponent did, they would not be unable to counter it!


    Therefore, the moment Wu Mo activated the skill, the other students lost the opportunity to advance!


    Tang Mu, was wearing his Qilin Feather Armor, and Jing Yuan had his Phantom Gloves. Even these students who were the best of the best in the Divine Arms Academy could not defend themselves.


    Everyone''s faces were filled with shock. It was hard to imagine what Wu Mo had done!


    Jing Yuan, especially, had spent a lot of effort to forge a Premium-grade weapon, and he had passed all the obstacles thus far.


    Originally, he had nned to show off his skills in the second round of the control test and rise to, at least, the top three.


    But now, his entire body was not listening to hismands at all. The golden lightning that lingered on himpletely deprived him of any control over his body.


    As a result, he could only stand there in a daze.


    "Sorry, it looks like you guys won''t be able to make it to the end!"


    Wu Mo slowly raised his head. He looked at the assessment tform that was full of cracks, and his tone was indifferent.


    Hearing his words, everyone''s faces were filled with shock, and their eyes revealed a strong resistance!


    However, lightning continued to sh beneath everyone''s feet. They could not control their bodies and make a move.


    At that moment, not only did the students on stage lose their ability to retaliate, even the students below were affected!


    They were all shocked to discover that the weapons on them were letting out waves of mournful wails. At the same time, they were rushing toward Wu Mo''s direction on the stage. They hung low on the ground as if they were bowing their heads in submission!


    Even the Legendary zed Heart-protection Mirror that Principal Qiu had brought along, as well as the mayor''s custom-made weapons, experienced such a phenomenon!


    "Just what kind of weapon did Wu Mo forge? Why are all of its dimensions so powerful?! On top of that, it''s created such a strange phenomenon!"


    "This... What''s going on?!"


    Every single person was puzzled and in disbelief as they looked at the weapons that were out of their control!


    At that moment, the Magic Crystal Cannon on the assessment tform fired countless bullets. There was no time to think.


    The overwhelming number of magic crystal bullets swept over, sting all the students who were unable to move away.


    The stage was instantly cleaned up.


    Only Wu Mo was left standing on the spot. The Electrostatic Shield in front of him was as steady as ever. Over 100 magic crystal bullets did not cause the slightest damage to him!


    If it were not for the weapons lying on the ground, who would have believed that Wu Mo had eliminated the other nine students in one go?!


    Looking at the lonely Wu Mo on the assessment stage, the entire ce was almost silent.


    Many teachers on the jury were bbergasted.


    It was the first time they had seen such a shocking result.


    Someone had actually eliminated nine students in one go in the control test.


    It would not be an exaggeration to say that such control was ridiculously strong!


    Everyone had yet to calm down when another wave rose!

 Chapter 91 Shock! The Divine Weapons Light!

    All the weapons and equipment in the auditorium were lowered in the direction of the silver hammer in Wu Mo''s hand. It was as if they were worshipping 10,000 Buddhas.


    Suddenly, a golden light appeared, illuminating the entire auditorium as if it was daytime!


    Rolling thunder pierced through the void, and through the colored ss at the top of the auditorium, the people discovered that the inky sky was condensing into a milky-white light!


    The light descended straight down, prating the auditorium''s ss andnding on the silver hammer!


    Zeng!


    They heard a strange sound.


    Then, the silver hammer floated in the air and bathed in the divine light!


    "This... Could this be the light of a Divine artifact?" an older five-star cksmith among the jury said with an excited and shocked expression.


    A Divine weapon''s light was just as its name implied. Only a Divine weapon would produce such a magnificent light when it appeared in the world.


    Simrly, every Divine weapon would only be considered to have left the mortal world after they were baptized by the Divine weapon''s light!


    Whenever a Divine weapon was born, it would receive the light of the heavens, burning mountains and boiling oceans, shaking the entire world!


    Only a Divine weapon that was acknowledged by the world would be worthy of its namesake.


    The light of a Divine weapon condensed from the heavens and earth would further baptize it. That might cause a dimensional change to the Divine weapon or be a brand-new equipment effect.


    In any case, this mysterious light would further bless the Divine weapon!


    The entire Shanglin City had not seen the appearance of a Divine weapon''s light for a long time.


    Thest time it happened was four years ago.


    p Not to mention, the Divine weapon''s light appeared directly in the examination auditorium this time. It shook everyone''s view of the world.</anda>


    The Divine light floated down, and after a few seconds, itpletely fused with the thunder god''s hammer.


    At that moment, Mjolnir, which was suspended in midair, rose into the sky rapidly, smashing a hole in the colored ss!


    Everyone hurriedly raised their heads to look, but they were surprised to see Mjolnir explode with intense light in the sky and spread out in all directions!


    It seemed as if it was about to envelop the entire Shanglin City!


    The golden light was like a wave of air, spreading out in circles.


    Shanglin City, which was originally shrouded in darkness, suddenly became as bright as day!


    "Gasp... The might of a Divine artifact is far beyond our reach!"


    Principal Qiu raised his head to look at the sky. Facing the dazzling golden light, his voice trembled!


    Mayor Zhao, who was sitting at the side, felt his hair stand on end as he stared at the hammer in mid-air.


    "Is this a Divine weapon? Its power is truly shocking!"


    At that moment, the many students below the stage all had their mouths agape. They could not help but have some doubt in their hearts. Had a single student really forged such a powerful weapon?


    Looking at the light circle that spread over hundreds of kilometers in the sky, thepany representatives, who had been invited, sat in their ces in a daze. Even though they were all representatives ofrge-scale onlinepanies, they had never seen such a shocking scene in all their decades of work!


    Simrly, the media people below the stage had their cameras pointed at the sky, subconsciously recording the unprecedented scene.


    Golden light filled half of Shanglin City.


    The pedestrians on the streets who wereing home from work stopped when they saw the golden light. In the office buildings, the eyes of the white-cor elites trembled slightly.


    Many people who were in positions of power were shaken by this sudden light!


    They looked at the center of the circle of light in the distance with utter disbelief.<sub> </sub>


    Right then, only the people in the auditorium knew about the whole process!


    Even the usually calm andposed researcher was looking at the silver hammer in the air with a dazed expression.


    Although there were a few true Divine weapons in the Research Department, they were not as shocking as this one in the design assessment, especially since it had been forged by a student!


    He had nted a seed in his heart following the battle earlier. Once the design assessment was over, he wanted to bring Wu Mo to the Research Department for good development!


    It was not until the golden light in the sky dissipated that Mjolnir descended from the sky. Then, Wu Mo, who was standing on the stage, grabbed it!


    As soon as he did, thunderous apuse erupted below the stage!


    Principal Qiu and the mayor, who were seated in the judges'' seats, raised the signs for full marks!


    The apuse continued for a long time. The crowd gradually calmed down only when Principal Qiu squeezed his hands, which were filled with hot tears.


    "Wu Mo, the strength that you disyed has exceeded everyone''s expectations. Regardless of dimension, it has disyed outstanding capabilities whether it''s an attack that can directly break a Legendary defensive tool or a defense that is sufficient to block a six-star cultivator!"


    "Your outstanding control has allowed you to defeat all of your opponents in one go. Mjolnir is a worthy Divine weapon! And you are the pride of our Divine Arms Academy!"


    Principal Qiu''s nose was slightly sore as he spoke with a sonorous and powerful voice!


    The moment his voice faded, the other students present, as well as thepany representatives, stood up and cheered for Wu Mo!


    Thanks to Wu Mo, they were able to witness the appearance of the Divine weapon''s light and the birth of the thunder god''s hammer for the first time.


    The jury on both sides also raised their cards to give out their marks.


    All of them gave him full marks, causing the cheers to almost shatter the auditorium''s ceiling!


    This was not only the first time a Divine weapon was born, but it was also the first perfect score in an assessment since the founding of the academy!


    Everyone looked at Wu Mo with admiration and envy.


    Amidst the cheers, Wu Mo walked off the stage!


    Looking at Wu Mo''s back as he left, Mayor Zhao Lu''s expression was a littleplicated.


    "Divine weapon... The first Divine weapon that truly belongs to Shanglin City!" he muttered.


    A Divine weapon appearing in Shanglin City was definitely a great piece of good news for Zhao Lu.


    At that moment, Wu Mo was even more precious than a giant panda in his eyes!


    A student who could forge a Divine weapon was Shanglin City''s greatest wealth.


    Simrly, Wu Mo had broken the record set since the establishment of the Divine Arms Academy. He had also be an indelible role model in the hearts of all the students!


    Numerous media outlets focused their cameras on Wu Mo, uploading the entire process of the assessment onto Shanglin City''s portal!


    Although the assessment had not ended, Wu Mo''s feat had already shocked innumerable people. It made the blood of the majority in the auditorium boil!


    Even the students who had been eliminated by Wu Mo gave him a thumbs-up one after another.


    He had eliminated all of hispetitors in one go fair and square. They had to admit defeat!


    Even though ss Monitor Tang Mu and Jing Yuan, who were skilled in spatial arrays, were unwilling to admit defeat in their hearts, losing to Wu Mo was not a sore subject.


    "Wu Mopleted this assessment with a perfect score. It''s truly remarkable."


    In the VIP seats, apany representative pped his thigh and shouted, "I have a feeling that this student''s future will soar. Anypany or enterprise would be ecstatic to hire him!"


    "This is preposterous! A perfect score for the graduation assessment has never been heard of in Shanglin City in all these years!"


    "This is too shocking!"

 Chapter 92 The Graduation Assessment Comes To An End

    Everyone was talking about Wu Mo''s previous battle. They were all excited as if they had witnessed history!


    Jiang Mengyao, who was standing in the distance, also looked at Wu Mo with admiration.


    The corners of her mouth could not help but curl up.


    Jiang Mengyao was extremely happy to see Wu Mo walk out of his depressed state.


    In fact, before the graduation assessment, she already believed that Wu Mo would obtain good results.


    After all, a genius who could truly shine would not need long to recover!


    One day, he would remove the dust off his body and shine brightly.


    ...


    "As expected of Mr. Wu. Even I feel inferior to him in terms of forging strength."


    The tenth elder sighed softly. The joy in his heart was beyond words.


    At that moment, Gao Yue had an excited look on his face too. He was proud of his bold decision in the past.


    Back then, he could tell at a nce that Wu Mo had great potential. Taking advantage of the fact that the young man''s strength had yet to reach its peak, he had finessed him into bing a special consultant.


    Thanks to his correct decision back then, Wu Mo now had a good rtionship with Treasure Pavilion!


    "Some people are just destined to be extraordinary..." Yu Qing, who was standing behind the tenth elder, said subconsciously as she watched Wu Mo walk down the stage.


    At that thought, she turned her head to look in the Wei family''s direction and found that they had already left the auditorium at some point in time.


    Wu Mo returned to the crowd below and could clearly feel countlesspany representatives staring at him with piercing gazes from the VIP seats.


    It was as if a bunch of macho men were looking at a delicate beauty. Their eyes were burning with passion.


    Wu Mo did not know whether tough or cry as he faced the situation.


    He squeezed out of the crowd and went to the resting area. He was waiting for the final round of the assessment to end before going up to the stage to receive his award.


    After all, there were many benefits to being number one.


    Right then, Jiang Mengyao was looking at him happily in the resting area.


    "Wu Mo, congrattions oning out at the top. I knew you wouldn''t be that depressed."


    Jiang Mengyao''s eyes were shining. She was even happier to see Wu Mo win than he was.


    "It''s still too early to talk about being number one. We have to, at least, wait until thest round of the assessment is over and the ranking list is updated... right?" Wu Mo blinked his eyes and said with a smile.


    The two of them chatted for a while in the rest area.


    Soon, the academy authorities continued with the third control assessment. However, due to a shortage of people, the rules were temporarily adjusted.


    Once this assessment was over, there would be no more decisive battles. Instead, the assessment scores would be used to determine the outstanding students, as well as those in first ce and second ce respectively.


    Not long after, the host began to make arrangements for the final round of the control category assessment.


    The remaining eight contestants walked onto the stage with cautious expressions.


    The new test format was more friendly to them. Nevertheless, if they were not careful, they might fail miserably!


    "The third round of the control category assessment will begin now!"


    Seeing that night was about to arrive, the host immediately announced the start of the assessment


    Thest eight students were the team with the lowest scores in the assessment. Among them, there were a few who were only at the three-star level.


    However, since some of their works had more outstanding dimensions, they had ovee all obstacles and arrived here.


    As the assessment began, everyone immediately assumed a defensive stance. Their expressions were wary as they restrained each other. Sadly, their bnce was quickly broken.


    A youth dressed in gray robes waved a long saber in his hand and charged toward a student not far away.


    His saber flickered with cold light as he charged toward his opponent with the sound of rushing wind. His target quickly noticed something amiss and turned around to stab him back with his sword.


    The shadows of their swords were heavy like a dense fog, bringing about a series of airwaves.<sub> </sub>


    The two of them instantly fought each other, and the light and shadow from their swords became intertwined.


    However, the two of them were ultimately cksmiths, and they only knew the simplest way to exert strength.


    It was all thanks to the additional effects of their weapons that they were able to fight so fiercely.


    Even so, there was still a gap in strength between them. The battle onlysted for a few seconds before the victor was determined.


    One of them was eliminated half a minuteter, and the speed at which it happened made the others even more cautious.


    "There''s only one spot left. Let me end this battle!"


    Right then, a young man with two des walked out.


    He had a strong figure, dark skin, and a confident smile on his face.


    The surrounding people immediately stared at him, worried that he would explode and hurt someone in the next second.


    The muscles on the young man''s arms pped, and his two slender des glowed with a cold light. The des were serrated, and there was still a trace of blood on them.


    "Come on, let''s see who will be my next stepping stone!"


    The young man had long hair, and his gaze was filled with killing intent as he looked at the others.


    A momentter, he seemingly found his target. He pushed himself forth with his legs, and his figure shot out like an arrow leaving the bow.


    His sharp de cut through the air, directly shing down at one of the students.


    A gloomy expression shed across thetter''s face. Just as he was about to swing the long staff in his hand to block, a gust of chilly wind came from behind him.


    Another student was taking advantage of the chaos to attack!


    Therefore, the student who was pincer-attacked did not dare to ignore the attack behind him and immediately retreated to dodge it.


    However, at that moment, the des of the dual des had already arrived. The student quickly used the weapons in his hands to block them.


    Unfortunately, in the next second, he was sent flying off the entire assessment tform by his opponent''s powerful strength!


    The young man who was holding the long staff in his hand fell heavily to the ground. He felt as if his internal organs had been disced by the impact.


    There was also the faint smell of blood from his mouth.


    "Ugh... I protest, Judges. It''s not fair for the two of them to attack me in a pincer."


    He struggled to get up from the ground and red at the other two with an angry expression.


    "The control test is a chaotic battle mode. There''s no such thing as an unfair pincer because everyone else is your enemy except for yourself!" Zhou Jinlong calmly said in the corner of the assessment tform.


    "This... !"


    The young man was speechless for a long time. In the end, he could only endure the pain and leave.


    "Happy working together!"


    The man holding two knives and the slim girl with a golden spike on her waist looked at each other. A smile appeared on the corners of their mouths.


    At this point, all the tests hade to an end!


    After that, it was time for the speech, award presentation, and toast.


    The six aspects of the assessment had all beenpleted, and the rest of the segment was progressing steadily.


    In just a few minutes, the award stage was set up.


    Principal Qiu would begin his speech!


    As the name implied, the speech would segway into giving the cksmiths their graduation certificates.


    As long as one reached the three-star cksmith level and passed the assessment, they would receive a cksmith''s star ribbon and a degree certificate from the academy.


    With those two things, whether a qualified cksmith went to an ordinarypany or an onlinepany, one''s sry would be several times higher than that of an ordinary person!


    At the same time, it was also a ticket to officially enter the field of forging!

 Chapter 93 Advanced Blacksmith Title, Shocking The Entire Crowd!

    Of course, thepany heads seated in the VIP seats would also recruit the academy''s outstanding graduates ording to the graduation assessment''s final results!


    It was the same every year during the graduation season.


    Principal Qiu stood on the stage, staring at the crowd. A momentter, he immediately read out the names of the students on the list.


    "Student No. 157, Du Chun, a three-star cksmith. Your score for the assessment is 40 points!"


    As soon as he read that name out, a young man walked up to the stage in embarrassment.


    The assistant teacher at the side passed him a green ribbon with three stars on it.


    With a solemn expression, the young man carefully epted the ribbon and the certificate bound in red leather.


    After that, Principal Qiu called out a few more students and awarded them with the ribbons and graduation certificates.


    However, these students who were called up to the stage had average test scores and were barely at the passing mark.


    The students who walked down the stage with their certificates came to an empty space at the back.


    At this moment, the managers of a few smallpanies were discussing recruitment matters with a few students.


    "If it''s possible, I''ll go to work at yourpany tomorrow. If you want to y, you can take six days off and one day off. Your monthly sry will be 10,000 plus 5,000 resources."


    A young man who had just passed the exam said with an anxious expression.


    However, a fewpany managers beside him shook their heads, one of them frowned slightly and said, "The current market is average. The maximum sry is 8,000 per month and 4,000 resources. This is the price for the new students. It''s still okay for us. We only need three months of internship to be promoted..."


    The few of them discussed intensely and lowered the expectations of the students'' monthly sry. In the end, the student who had just crossed the line could only join thepany at the price the entrepreneur had mentioned earlier!


    However, this method of lowering the price to lower the expectations was extremelyughable in the eyes of the other regr managers.


    Thosergerpanies were still sitting firmly in the VIP seats at this moment. They did not even look at the students who had just passed.


    As for the multinational organizations, they were staring at more than a dozen outstanding students and thinking about how to take them down!


    At this moment, there was a suddenmotion in the crowd.


    A girl with a slightly excited expression and two ponytails walked out.


    On the teaching tform just now, she had received 45 assessment points, which was considered a pretty good stage.


    She put the dark blue four-star ribbon into her briefcase


    As soon as she entered the field of school recruitment, a few people in charge who did not care before immediately stood up and greeted her with smiles on their faces.


    "Dear student, have you considered taking a job at thatpany? Our Tianmeng Foundry is willing to give you a monthly sry of 13,000 plus 8,000 capital subsidies to directly be a full-time employee of thepany..."


    "Get lost, our Rainbow de Weapons Company is willing to give you a monthly sry of 15,000 and amission on the sale of weapons at the end of the month!"


    The few managers smiled and took the initiative to extend an olive branch to the girl.


    Compared to the miserable situation of the young man who had just crossed the line, it was obviously much better.


    The girl chose for a while and then went to sign a contract with apany that had been agreed upon. The other managers were immediately disappointed.


    However, at this time, the next student had alreadypleted the teaching segment and walked over with a smile on his face.


    Looking at the test card with 48 points and the four-star ribbon in his hand, the managers rushed forward as if they had seen a treasure.


    The highest score of the six tests was 65 points, and to be able to reach 50 points, one could be considered to be in the top ten in the ss. With a little nurturing, one might be able to be a mainstay of thepany.


    This was a very popr top student!<sub> </sub>


    In the school recruitment segment, which was tacitly approved by the school, the better the results, the higher the treatment one would receive.


    Those small and medium-sizedpanies were having a great time at this moment.


    However, the representatives of the world-famouspanies around them were still sitting firmly in their seats. They did not get up much.


    In their opinion, these students were indeed outstanding, but it was not to the extent that they would personally go and recruit them.


    There were quite a number of outstanding talents in theirpany. Not to mention those who scored 48 points, even those who scored 55 points were everywhere in theirpany. Usually, they would only recruit them for official purposes.


    Looking at the chaotic scene of the school recruitment, their hearts didn''t waver at all.


    More than a dozen industry bigwigs once again focused their gazes on the teaching tform.


    At this moment, Principal Qiu said a name that everyone was familiar with.


    "Student number 05001, four-star cksmith Wu Mo, full score of 65 points!"


    Upon hearing Principal Qiu''s words, everyone''s faces lit up.


    The few people in charge of the VIP seats, who had a calm expression on their faces, pricked up their ears at this moment. At the same time, they stood up. As long as Wu Mo stepped down from the stage, they would be the first to rush to the school recruitment stage!


    Everyone''s gazes converged, and Wu Mo quickly walked up to the teaching tform.


    Standing on the podium, Wu Mo looked at the countless adoring gazes below, and his mood slightly fluctuated.


    "Wu Mo, you have performed exceptionally in the Divine Arms Academy for three years and obtained full marks in the design assessment. The academy hereby bestows you with the title of advanced cksmith, seven-star ribbon, and the title of honorary graduate to encourage you. I hope that in the future, you can still maintain your original ambition and bravely climb to the peak of forging!"


    After saying this, Principal Qiu excitedly took out a dark purple ribbon.


    The surface of the ribbon was smooth and full of texture. There were even stars dotted within it, making it look like a gxy.


    In the center, there were seven floating auspicious clouds drawn, and they were dazzling!


    Holding a thick graduation certificate and wearing a seven-star ribbon, Wu Mo''s heart was also somewhat excited at this moment.


    Even he himself did not think that he would be able to obtain so many honors.


    Especially the title of advanced forger and the title of honorary graduate. At this moment, it upied a heavy weight in his heart.


    One had to know that in the field of forgers, a one- to three-star cksmith could only obtain a beginner title, and only a four- to six-star cksmith could be awarded an intermediate title.


    Evenst year, when he was hailed as a genius in the Divine Arms Academy, he could only reach level 4 at most. However, he was still far from being able to obtain the intermediate cksmith title.


    This was because in order to obtain the advanced cksmith title, one needed to be at least at the seven-star realm and above. Moreover, only after forging quasi-god equipment and above would one be able to obtain this title!


    Its rarity was one of a kind in the entire Shanglin City.


    This was because the strongest was only a six-star cksmith!


    Not to mention ordinary students, even many professors and official forgers only had the title of intermediate forger in their entire lives.


    As for advanced forgers, this was a fact that most people would never be able to achieve in their entire lives!


    Therefore, when Principal Qiu gave the title of advanced cksmith, all the self-proimed entrepreneurs present were shocked beyond words!


    Even though they were representatives of multinational corporations and had seen countless talented students, they had never seen a young man receive such an honor!


    "Hiss... There''s actually such a young advanced cksmith in Shanglin City. Is this day about to change things?"


    Everyone felt their scalps go numb.

 Chapter 94 For Wu Mos Sake, The Heads Of The Major Companies Start Fighting!

    At the same time, many of the heads of the majorpanies with sharp business sense stood up first.


    Without any hesitation, they ran toward Wu Mo.


    When the other big shots of the global onlinepanies saw the situation, they were no longer cold-blooded. One by one, they ran toward the stage, immediately surrounding it.


    These big shots were the heads of well-known multinationalpanies. Among them were Apple Light Weapons, which specialized in light weapons, Microsoft Integration, which mass-produced a foundry solution, and Te, which had mature customization technology. These people who had been at the top for a long time now looked at Wu Mo as if they were licking a dog.


    "Te is willing to hire you for a monthly sry of £¤50,000 and 15,000 resources. You will also have a weekend off every week!" one of them could not squeeze in and immediately shouted.


    He anxiously threw out his bargaining chips.


    When the other people in charge heard that, they felt as if he was looking down on them.


    So, each of them revealed their sry and offers.


    "Student Wu Mo, I think you''re very suitable for our Samsung High Martial Group. If you''re willing to work for ourpany, we''re willing to give you a monthly sry of 70,000, a resource subsidy of 30,000, and a research and development team of less than 10 people. You''ll be the head of our Samsung High Martial Group''s research and Development Department!"


    "Get lost! Our Apple Qingwu will give you a monthly sry of 80,000 and a resource subsidy of 50,000, and a year-end bonus of 13 sry starting from 10 months a year."


    The person-in-charge of Apple Qingwu, who was wearing an expensive shirt and gold-rimmed sses, waved his hand and said.


    "Get out of my way, you piece of trash! We, Mitsubishi Divine Boots, will give you a monthly sry of 100,000 yuan, and we will give you a BMW as a substitute for your journey!"


    The blue suit of the person-in-charge of Mitsubishi was a little out of shape, but he did not care. He still had a polite smile on his face!


    p "Scram, scram, scram. Our Microsoft Integration offers a monthly sry of 120,000, and we can provide housing support. Mr. Wu, when you wake up, you can go downstairs to thepany and avoid the hassle ofmuting!"</anda>


    At this moment, countless business bigwigs were going crazy for Wu Mo. . They went from being well-dressed business elites to being vegetable market bosses!


    The entire recruitment site had be Wu Mo''s exclusive venue. The rest of the students who had good results were not interested. Even the smallpanies were stunned.


    What a guy. His monthly sry was over 100,000. Those who didn''t know would think that he had hired a five-star professor!


    He was going crazy!


    Many students looked excited. Wu Mo was going to set a new sry cap for the students!


    Those students who had been ignored looked at the dazzling Wu Mo on the stage and said with a sour expression, "Why are we here to apply for a job, but Wu Mo is the person in charge of countless people begging him!"


    However, they only dared to whisper these words and did not dare to say it out loud.


    The current Wu Mo had be a popr person in Shanglin City. It was not something that ordinary freshmen like them couldpare to!


    The crowd below the stage was bustling with activity, and many of the people-in-charge almost started fighting.


    Looking at theplicated situation below because of him, he stretched out his hands and made a downward gesture.


    Seeing this, many people in charge thought that this Max level student was nning to say something. The dozens of business bigwigs on the spot immediately quieted down.


    They stood on the spot and looked at Wu Mo.


    "Sorry for wasting everyone''s time. Regarding this matter, I would like to say my opinion."


    Wu Mo picked up the microphone and said with a serious expression.


    The heads of the various famouspanies below the stage immediately nodded and listened attentively.<sub> </sub>


    "First of all, I would like to thank the Divine Arms Academy, Principal Qiu, and the many teachers who have educated us. It was they who gave me the tform to learn, and little by little, they have made me what I am today!"


    "Secondly, I would also like to express my gratitude to the various entrepreneurs who have invited me. Your Kind invitation is an acknowledgment of me."


    As he spoke, Wu Mo changed the topic, "It''s just that I''m not ready to enter society yet. I still want to take advantage of my youth to improve my academic attainments in the field of foundry. I can only apologize to the business magnates for the time being. However, the future is still very long. There are still many opportunities for us to cooperate with each other in the future. I hope that I can give you more pointers when the timees!"


    After saying that, Wu Mo bowed slightly to Professor Zhou Yan, Principal Qiu, and all thepany leaders, and then quickly walked down the stage.


    Everyone watched Wu Mo leave without any hesitation, their mouths slightly agape, unable to believe Wu Mo''s decision.


    After all, these well-knownpanies, each of them had offered extremely generous conditions.


    Not to mention matching a car and a house, just a weekend of weekends and a job as a minister was enough to attract people.


    They did not understand why Wu Mo would not go with such good conditions. This was a chance for him to soar.


    Those intepanies on stage were existences that were not institutions with assets of over ten billion, intimidating a region.


    It was just that it was difficult for a sparrow to know the ambition of a swan.


    Those students and entrepreneurs would never know Wu Mo''s considerations and horizons!


    Wu Mo practiced day and night in the god-tier forging space, enduring the stinging pain brought by theck of spirit power and continuously carving obscure arrays. What was the reason?


    Only he himself knew all this.


    After all, he had the Divine-grade forging system by his side, and Mjolnir was just the starting point of his journey.


    What he pursued was a stronger domain and a broader sky.


    He wanted to see, to explore, what was left after the grade of the god equipment!


    It was precisely because of his lofty ideals that Wu Mo would go all out to study.


    Even with the help of the system, he did not ck off in the slightest.


    For the sake of a broader sky, he could not stay in those private enterprises. Although those enterprises were well-known all over the world, they were still unable to reach the height that he was looking at.


    If there was a chance, entering the National Foundry Research Institute was the best choice!


    At this moment, Wu Mo walked out of the Great Hall and raised his head to look at the starry sky above him, his gaze unwavering.


    However, at this moment in the auditorium.


    The lights here were still bright, and Principal Qiu was giving his final toast.


    "Thank you to all the cooperating organizations and teachers for their sincere cooperation. This designpetition has been sessfullypleted. During the assessment process, countless talented students have shown their talents, bringing us many surprises."


    "I believe that in these three years, everyone''s hard work has been demonstrated at this moment. We sincerely wish that all the students who graduate from the Divine Arms Academy will have a bright and beautiful future. Today''s graduation designpetition has been sessfully concluded. Thank you for your participation. Goodbye!"


    Principal Qiu''s eyes were filled with tears, and his voice was deafening!


    At this moment, a wave of melodious saxophone came from all directions. Everyone was immersed in it, and their state of mind gradually calmed down.


    After the apuse, everyone also left the four doors of the auditorium. The mayor who stood up wanted to talk to Zhou Jinlong, but at this moment, he found that Zhou Jinlong had disappeared in the hall.

 Chapter 95 A Reporter’s Interview, The Employment Situation Is Grim!

    Outside the gothic-style auditorium building, the sky waspletely enveloped by the night, and only the moonlight managed to break through the clouds and sprinkle down.


    The breeze gently blew the flower beds around the auditorium, and the fountain added a hint of coolness to the air.


    Under the streetmps, Zhou Jinlong of the Research Department was leaning against the wall and dialing an encrypted phone.


    Du du...


    The phone rang a few times before it was quickly picked up.


    "Hello... Little Zhou, you should still be at the design assessment venue right now. Why are you calling me all of a sudden?"


    The warm and steady voice on the other side of the phone could involuntarily make people feel at ease.


    Zhou Jinlong immediately leaned close to the microphone and said in a low voice, "Sir, the design assessment has produced a genius. I want to introduce him to our National Artifact Research Department."


    "Huh?"


    Hearing Little Zhou''s words on the other side of the phone, Xu Wuyue, who was in theboratory at the moment, immediately frowned.


    He skillfully took off hisb coat and quickly returned to the office.


    "Little Zhou, it''s not like you don''t know the recruitment criteria of our National Artifact Research Department. Those who don''t meet the criteria will not be able to pass the higher-ups'' examination. What''s wrong with you today?"


    Xu Wuyue turned on the speakerphone, wiped his hands, and asked in puzzlement.


    "Sir, it''s like this. This student''s situation is special. Not only did he pass all the examinations with full marks, but he also personally refined a Divine weapon. Even the Magic Crystal Cannon cannot prate the defense of the weapon... he is a very strong student. If we can recruit him into the Research Department, he will definitely be a great help to us!"


    Zhou Jinlong gave a general report on Wu Mo''s matter, and at the same time, he described the strange phenomenon caused by Mjolnir.


    There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.


    Zhou Jinlong waited quietly.


    The person Zhou Jinlong called was the senior manager of the fifth branch of the National Artifact Research Department, Xu Wuyue.


    Thetter was also his direct superior. He passed the seven-star cksmith''s examination six months ago and was the pir of the fifth branch.


    "How about this, Little Zhou, show me the student''s information and the assessment video first."


    Xu Wuyue knew that Little Zhou was not an unreliable person. Since the other party said so, he must have carefully considered it.


    "Alright."


    After listening, Zhou Jinlong immediately took out a palm-sized micrputer from his pocket and immediately sent the information rted to Wu Mo. .


    "Sir, I''ve already sent it over. Please take a look."


    Hearing this, Xu Wuyue immediately opened theputer on his desk and turned on the video that was sent over.


    Starting from the time that Little Zhou had marked, he looked through it one by one.


    In the beginning, Xu Wuyue didn''t pay too much attention to it. He was just a student of the Divine Arms Academy. No matter how outstanding he was, he was still a four-star cksmith.


    However, as he watched the end, his expression quietly changed. Especially when he saw that student Wu Mo used the weapon''s side effect to pierce through the Legendary zed Heart-protection Mirror''s defense, his pupils slightly constricted.


    This kind of thing wasn''t a big deal in the Research Department. Most six-star cksmiths could do it.


    However, this matter was done by a four-star cksmith in the school. This was enough to exin the problem.


    He couldn''t hold back his temper and directly cut to the end.


    He was immediately shocked by the hammer that was suspended in the air and emitting golden light in all directions!


    "Divine weapon''s light! This student named Wu Mo really forged a Divine weapon!"


    Seeing that the hammer was finally returned to Wu Mo''s hand, Xu Wuyue subconsciously said.


    "Sir, do you think I should write an email and report it to the director?"


    On the other side of the phone, Zhou Jinlong was a little conflicted.


    "F*ck... What the f*ck is there to talk about? I mean, we can skip this step."<sub> </sub>


    Xu Wuyue was excited. Such a good material had to be recruited into the Research Department. He couldn''t waste it!


    He immediately said, "Go directly through the green channel of special approval. I''ll handle the matter. You Go and negotiate with this student. Don''t make any mistakes. This talent! Our fifth branch wants him!"


    "I''ll leave this matter to you. Little Zhou, you must recruit him!"


    Xu Wuyue''s mood was a little agitated, and his voice became a little heavier. It was not as calm as before.


    After listening to him, Zhou Jinlong immediately agreed. Then, he gave some more instructions before hanging up immediately.


    "I didn''t expect my mentor to be this agitated. Wu Mo''s student is really interesting."


    Zhou Jinlong couldn''t help but smile when he thought of his mentor''s excited look on the other side of the phone.


    ...


    At this moment, on the other side, outside the high wall surrounding the auditorium.


    Around the main entrance, countless reporters surrounded the main entrance and were anxiously waiting for the students inside toe out.


    Every year''s graduation season was a topic of public concern. Most of the reporters woulde here to record the real situation.


    Even the official media in Shanglin City was the same.


    If it were not for the protection of the hall''s historic sites and the airtight nature of the assessment, no one would be allowed to enter.


    These reporters had long rushed into the gate and asked clearly.


    "Ladies and gentlemen, the high-wall gate behind me is the 500-year-old auditorium. The scenery here is beautiful and full of historical features. It is one of the most beautiful scenery in Shanglin city."


    "The graduation examination is about to end. However, the employment situation in Shanglin City is grim this year. Many cksmiths who graduated from famous schools are unable to find jobs. Next, I will interview a few random cksmiths who have just finished their graduation design and ask them about their jobs!"


    At this point, the photographer shifted the camera and recorded the main entrance.


    At this moment, the fully armed security team opened the main door, but there was still no movement inside. Only two students wearing foundry uniforms walked out quickly.


    It waspletely different from what they had expected.


    At this moment, the surrounding reporters were still in a daze, but the state media reporters from Shanglin City walked up quickly at this moment!


    Outside the high walls of the auditorium.


    Wu Mo and Jiang Mengyao walked out one after the other.


    They brushed past the many fully armed martial artists standing at the entrance.


    Just as the two of them were about to leave, a girl wearing a headset and a press pass hanging around her neck suddenly walked over.


    She directly ced the microphone in front of Wu Mo.


    "Hello, student. You should have juste out of the exam hall. How was the exam this time?"


    The reporter was very professional and asked with a smile.


    Wu Mo did not expect to be interviewed in an examination room, but he was not interested in any of this. He just wanted to go back to sleep.


    "Hmm, it was okay," he answered absentmindedly.


    He did not reveal the score, and he did not want to create any trouble.


    But the reporter did not stop there. She continued to ask curiously, "How was the recruitment situation there? Did it go smoothly?"


    Hearing this, Wu Mo tilted his head and thought for a moment. Jiang Mengyao, who was at the side, waited quietly.


    "That''s right. Thosepany representatives are quite enthusiastic."


    Wu Mo said so.


    He didn''t lie, but he was quite enthusiastic.


    The representatives in there were almost wearing their suits to be able to recruit him.

 Chapter 96 Famous Companies Fight Over Offers, Do You Call This A Grim Employment Situation?

    Hearing this, the reporter was slightly surprised, and she blurted out, "In that case, may I take the liberty to ask, as a fresh graduate, have you found a job you like?"


    The reporter knew that such a question was inappropriate, so she could only smile apologetically in hopes that the interviewee would cooperate a little.


    Wu Mo frowned slightly but still replied, "Not yet."


    The reporter knew in her heart when she received an urate answer. Then, she turned to the camera behind him. "It seems that the information we''ve received is highly urate. This year''s fresh graduates are indeed having a difficult time finding a job. I reckon that this will also have a considerable impact on Shanglin City''s economic development..."


    At that moment, the reporter''s live broadcast was synchronized with Shanglin City''s official media portal.


    Many viewing the live broadcast expressed their views one after another.


    "It seems that this year isn''t easy. Even the cksmiths have to worry about jobs."


    "I''ve always felt that Shanglin City''s development isn''t stable. There are even fewer jobs now. Manypanies areying off employees."


    "No matter how bad the cksmiths are, they still lead a better life than us ordinary people. There''s nothing to worry about."


    "Sigh... it''s not easy for everyone!"


    Bulletments flew past one after another. Everyone sighed, causing the atmosphere in the live chat to be a little gloomy.


    At that moment, quite a number of students walked out of the auditorium in session. The graduation assessment should have ended.


    The surrounding reporters swarmed over, and official media outlets were also prepared to interview a few more people.


    However, right then, they heard a rumbling sound.


    Everyone looked back in surprise and saw a military-green SUVing from afar, bringing up smoke and dust!


    "Hey, there''s actually a car. Has the military sent people over?"


    "Wow, that car is so stylish. It''s a pity it''s too expensive. We can only afford to use a horse carriage!"


    "I know, right? Nowadays, the price of a carriage starts at several hundred thousand yuan. Ordinary people like us can''t even look at it!"


    After everyone saw the carriage in the official media''s live broadcast, they immediately cheered up.


    Screech!


    The off-road vehicle stopped by the side of the street a few meters away. Soon, a team of fully-armed cultivators came down!


    That instant, countless people outside the auditorium''s main door quieted down. They did not know what had happened to rm the military!


    The sounds attracted Wu Mo. He turned his head and saw a familiar face.


    "Zhou Jinlong... Mr. Zhou!"


    When he saw the person who had arrived, he was a little surprised. Jiang Mengyao, who was beside him, also opened her mouth slightly.


    Before the gazes of several thousand people, Zhou Jinlong walked straight toward Wu Mo.


    The surrounding reporters and other students were shocked.


    "Mr. Zhou, you haven''t left yet? Are you looking for me?"


    Wu Mo seemed somewhat puzzled too.


    At that moment, Zhou Jinlong had already approached Wu Mo.


    He did not say anything else except ask a single question with a serious expression.


    "Kid, are you interested in the National Artifact Research Department?"


    Faced with Zhou Jinlong''s sudden question, Wu Mo was slightly taken aback at first.


    Then, he immediately realized that Zhou Jinlong was implying something.


    "Of course. The National Artifact Research Department has a research hall of the highest scale. There are seven-star cksmiths there, as well as numerous high-tech equipment."


    As Wu Mo reached this point, he paused.<sub> </sub>


    "If there''s a chance, I would definitely be willing to go."


    Zhou Jinlong stared into Wu Mo''s eyes. When he saw the anticipation in the boy''s eyes, a smile immediately appeared on his cold face.


    Jiang Mengyao, who was standing at the side, had a surprised expression.


    One should know that the conditions for admission to the National Artifact Research Department were extremely strict.


    Wu Mo did not meet those high requirements. Why would Mr. Zhou ask such a question when he already knew?


    Her doubts were the same as others, and she did not get an answer.


    "Wu Mo, this is an engagement letter from our country''s Artifact Research Department. We''re hoping that you can join our establishment and work as an assistant researcher!" Zhou Jinlong said in a sonorous and powerful tone.


    As he spoke, he even took out a fresh engagement letter. The national seal on it was not even dry yet!


    Zhou Jinlong''s words instantly shook the surrounding students and reporters. Everyone knew the weight of his words!


    The National Artifact Research Department was the highest institution in the country.


    The research that went on inside was rted to national military secrets. It went without saying that it was an important lifeline of the country.


    Forget the position of an assistant. It was not easy for even a potted nt to be in the Research Department, let alone a four-star cksmith student!


    Moreover, the National Artifact Research Department had never recruited any new graduates.


    It was only possible if they were at least five-star cksmiths and they had received various honors.


    Usually, all kinds of professors would enter. The youngest would be at least 25 years old. How could it be possible for a fresh graduate to join them?


    Everyone had an expression of disbelief.


    Wu Mo was also a little surprised. He did have the intention of going to the Research Department, but he did not expect Mr. Zhou to personally present him with an offer letter!


    He was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.


    Zhou Jinlong noticed that Wu Mo seemed to be a little hesitant, and he immediately said, "I heard that Apple Light Weapons offered you a monthly sry of £¤100,000 and a resource subsidy of £¤50,000. I think you won''t be interested in that."


    Wu Mo nodded.


    Then, Zhou Jinlong said, "I heard Mitsubishi''s representative mention that after you join thepany, they''ll give you a BMW worth £¤500,000. You''re probably not interested in that either, right?"


    At that moment, the people around him began to wear strange expressions.


    Wu Mo continued to nod. He really did not like cars.


    "Meanwhile, Microsoft will give you a £¤3,000,000 vi and help you reduce yourmute expenses. You''re not falling for that, right?" Zhou Jinlong stared at Wu Mo and said with suspicion.


    Wu Mo nodded again. "Yes, I''m not interested in any of that."


    Everyone around Wu Mo could not hold back when they heard his response.


    In the online live media broadcast page, the bulletments instantly covered up the screen.


    "This dad over here can''t take it anymore. To reduce mymuting expenses, I had to get a new house. I''ve been working for 20 years, but I''ve never found such a goodpany."


    "Why the f*ck is a BMW called a mere tool for transportation?! If that''s considered a tool, then isn''t my carriage trash?"


    "Get out here, you dog reporter. So many big factories are fighting to give this graduate an offer. You call this a grim employment situation?!"


    "ording to the people''sw, spreading rumors is punishable by 500 views. I''ve already called the mayor''s hotline to report it. Brothers, am I doing the right thing? What a dog."


    "The employment situation is ''too grim.'' One secondter, this freshman brother will be crushed to death by all the offers."


    Everyone was so shocked that they had no choice but to express it. However, due to the presence of the military, the surrounding people on site could only hold everything in.


    The people online, on the other hand, started toin.

 Chapter 97 You Want Me To Compete With The King? Ah, You Sc*M!

    Everyone felt a strong wave of Versaillesing over them, especially when they heard Wu Mo say that he was not interested in those things.


    Wu Mo filtered the envious and jealous gazes from everyone when he saw them.


    With a straight face, he said to Researcher Zhou Jinlong, who was in front of him, "They did offer me a lot of benefits and a very good sry, but my mind is still on the academic side. In the field of forging, my strength still has a lot of room for improvement. I want to take advantage of this time to learn more.


    "I don''t want to enter the field ofmercial mization so early."


    These were all areas that Wu Mo had considered in his heart. He was speaking the truth.


    However, none of the reporters and media people around him believed it.


    When Zhou Jinlong heard his response, he slowly retracted his gaze and spoke with a face full of praise. "Excellent. It''s very important to maintain your original intention. You can take the initiative to absorb new knowledge in the field of forging. That''s already better than most students.


    "Now, I''m inviting you to join the National Artifact Research Department. I''ve already prepared the application. Don''t fret about the benefits that those IoTpanies promised you previously. Our Research Department doesn''tck a single cent!"


    Zhou Jinlong patted Wu Mo on the shoulder. "Besides, our Research Department will give you reference and reading rights to the internal reference room. You''ll receive the best development there!"


    Hearing Zhou Jinlong''s words, Wu Mo''s eyes lit up, and his heart started to stir.


    Back when he was forging Mjolnir, he had suffered a lot and taken a lot of detours because he did not have enough knowledge reserves.


    If he coulde into contact with relevant knowledge, that process would definitely be much easier


    Moreover, the Research Department had a seven-star cksmith overseeing it. If he faced any difficulties, he should be able to ask a few questions.


    At that moment, Wu Mo was somewhat moved. He had wanted to go to the Research Department, anyway. Unfortunately, he did not meet the requirements for the Research Department to recruit him.


    Now that he had been invited and formally offered an engagement letter, there was no reason for him to refuse!


    However, Wu Mo was not the only excited one.


    Even the cultivators standing behind Zhou Jinlong were extremely surprised right then.


    One should know that the internal reference room had more than just high-level foundry knowledge. There were also many national defense secrets, as well as notes left behind by all the outstanding forging masters in history. All that knowledge had always been one of the Research Department''s most precious assets.


    Was it wise to give a research assistant such authority so easily?


    "Mr. Zhou, thank you. I ept your offer letter!"


    Outside the auditorium''s main entrance, Wu Mo received the heavy offer letter with a serious expression.


    Zhou Jinlong grinned. The heavy burden in his heart was finally lifted.


    Seeing the letter being handed, the official media reporters, who were standing by, immediately widened their eyes.


    "D*mn, for the high-and-mighty Research Department to offer such a generous treatment... What kind of genius is this student?!"


    The reporter looked a little embarrassed.


    Earlier, she had mentioned that the employment situation this year was grim. Was this not a p to her face?


    Thinking of her own mistake, she immediately apologized to the audience in the live broadcast.


    "I''m sorry. We were wrong about the situation just now. It seems that the employment situation for new graduates is much better than we imagined."


    As she spoke, she saw other students walking out of the door, so she immediately went forward to continue her interview.


    She thought that there was a change in policy this year and it was easier for all students to find jobs.


    She immediately found a student who was carrying his graduation project on his back. "Examinee, you should have found a good job by now, right? How many famouspanies have sent you offers? Can you share with us?" she asked with a smile.


    Jing Yuan was walking out through the gate dejectedly. He was already in a bad mood when a microphone suddenly appeared in front of him.


    He was a little stunned at first, but when he heard the reporter''s sarcastic remarks, his anger immediately red up.<sub> </sub>


    If it were not for therge number of people and the fact that the camera was recording, he would have stuffed the microphone into the reporter''s mouth.


    What nonsense was she talking about?


    "What offer? I can''t even find a job right now," he said unhappily.


    Just as he was about to leave, the reporter stopped him.


    "How can that be? I heard from the examinee in front that thepany heads this year are very enthusiastic. Furthermore, someone from the National Artifact Research Department offered him an employment contract. This year''s job prospects should be better than the previous year''s, right?!"


    The reporter was a little puzzled, and she immediately spoke up.


    Jing Yuan raised his head with a dumbfounded expression and followed the reporter''s line of sight.


    The examinee she was referring to was actually Wu Mo.


    When he saw Wu Mo''s well-defined and handsome face, Jing Yuan''s heart was filled with anger.


    He instantly felt like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He stomped his feet and shouted, "That f*cking horse is Wu Mo, the strongest rookie king who made history and forged a Divine weapon. Who do you think I am? You want me topete with him?"


    He could not help but swear. His bad temper was not to be me. This reporter was too much of a bully!


    Seeing the student in front of her leave with a face full of anger, the reporter finally came to a realization.


    D*mn it. The employment situation this year was not too good. That freshman named Wu Mo was just too strong.


    She did not know whether tough or cry. Her two interviews had such a huge contrast that it created a dramatic scene.


    On top of that, she was live, and the interview was being televised.


    That made the matter bigger!


    The footage of her two interviews were directly uploaded onto the Inte, causing countlessizens to have a heated discussion.


    The trending searches were even more difficult to stop.


    It was the same in the live stream chat at that moment. Looking at the bulletments that continuously shed on her phone, the corners of the reporter''s eyes unwittingly twitched.


    "Is this the world of the strong? We ordinary people can never reach such heights in our entire lives!"


    "So it''s not that we were wrong. It''s that student named Wu Mo who''s too strong."


    "For the strong, the employment situation is great every year."


    "I saw the second student''s face turn ck. The more I think about it, the angrier I get."


    "I''m dying ofughter. This is going to be a lot of fun!"


    Everyone expressed their opinions one after another. The reporter was embarrassed by the bulletments and had no choice but to hurriedly end the interview.


    Zhou Jinlong noticed that it was gettingte. Plus, he had achieved his objective, so there was no need to stay any longer. He then waved his hand at Wu Mo. "Alright, I''m relieved to hear your words. Take care of your matters for the next few days. I''ll bring you to the Research Department in three days. It''s gettingte, so you should go back earlier!"


    Wu Mo nodded. He was looking forward to the uing trip to the Research Department.


    Jiang Mengyao, who was standing at the side, politely waved goodbye to him as well.


    "Okay, thank you, Mr. Zhou."


    The two of them looked at Zhou Jinlong as he got into the SUV and left. Both of them smiled at the same time.


    "Mr. Zhou looks a little cold, but he''s actually a very nice person."


    Wu Mo agreed with Jiang Mengyao''s point.

 Chapter 98 Regrets And Gains

    "Come on, it''s time to go back." Wu Mo retracted his gaze and said softly.


    "Hmm..."


    Jiang Mengyao nodded and followed Wu Mo.


    Taking advantage of the night, Wu Mo and Jiang Mengyao walked side by side as they headed toward the academy.


    Tomorrow was their graduation day. The dormitory that had apanied them for three years, the academy, and their ssmates, would forever be a memory.


    Thinking of that, Wu Mo felt a little reluctant to part with her.


    Jiang Mengyao, who was walking beside him, seemed to have something on her mind. She kept her head down and kicked the stones on the side of the road without a word.


    Wu Mo could sense that she was a little down at this moment.


    The breeze blew slowly, rustling the leaves on the side of the road.


    Meanwhile, the full moon hung in the air, illuminating the road that the two of them were walking on.


    "We''ll be graduating tomorrow. Maybe... we''ll never see each other again in the future."


    Jiang Mengyao sighed and broke the silence.


    Wu Mo looked up at the stars in the sky and gently said, "Yes, three years went by just like that. Although it''s not a pity, it feels like time is flying, and we can''t hold on to anything."


    After he spoke, Wu Mo turned his head to look at Jiang Mengyao.


    Seeing that Mengyao was a little sad, Wu Mo immediately changed his mood. He smiled andforted her, "Don''t think about it too much. We still have a long way to go after we leave the academy. Youth is our memory, but the future is also the continuation of our childhood dreams, isn''t it?"


    Jiang Mengyao was slightly stunned. She raised her head to look at Wu Mo''s clearly-defined side profile.


    Her heart skipped a beat.


    The two of them would be separated tomorrow, and they might never see each other again.


    Her rtionship with the person she had been secretly in love with for three years would probably end here.


    Wu Mo had been very concerned about her during this period of time, but up until now, the two of them had not made anything official.


    It was a pity.


    A momentter, the forest-lined path once again fell into silence. Horse carriages would asionally pass by.


    The two of them walked at the same pace, and the sound of their footsteps echoed on the road. It did not take long for them to return to their dormitories.


    The male and female dormitories of the Divine Arms Academy were roughly 200 meters apart.


    Wu Mo and Jiang Mengyao stopped at the entrance of the male dormitory building.


    "Rest early. See you tomorrow," Wu Mo said with sleepy eyes.


    Jiang Mengyao nodded with a smile. Looking at his cute side, she pursed her lips and said, "Good night!"


    After parting with Jiang Mengyao at the entrance, Wu Mo watched her return to her dormitory.


    Only then did he take some heavy steps and return to the single dormitory.


    Today''s graduation assessment had consumed arge amount of his stamina.


    If it were not for the fact that he had consciously run to train his energy not long after he transmigrated, he probably would not have excelled in the test so easily.


    Pushing the door open and entering the dorm, Wu Mo looked at the familiar and warm living room. He let go of all his fatigue and sat down on the couch.


    He leaned back to rest for a while, then began to recall what he had experienced today.


    Perhaps it was because he was too tired, but he slowly closed his eyes, allowing his thoughts to be clearer.


    In today''s design assessment, he had defeated all his opponents with an overwhelming victory, but that also exposed most of Mjolnir''s effects.


    However, his harvest was also quite bountiful!<sub> </sub>


    The first ce schrship set up by the Divine Arms Academy was £¤100,000, plus a piece of Premium-grade equipment. That piece of equipment with good effects was currently lying in a box with a certificate and a ribbon.


    Of course, these gains were not very valuable to Wu Mo. Nevertheless, to personally achieve such achievements was something to be proud of.


    As for the fame that came with it, it was not considered a positive benefit to Wu Mo.


    After a moment, he opened his eyes and silently chanted in his heart.


    In a sh, a light blue interface appeared in midair.


    [System notification. Mjolnir, which you have forged, was of shocking influence in the graduation assessment. The direct influence has earned you a total of 185,000 points. The umtion of indirect influence has not been finalized, and it is being calcted.


    [Your current umted points are 234,586, which is a pretty good fortune!


    [System notification. Your current strength has exceeded 99% of your peers as a cksmith. However, you are stillcking in some fields rted to forging. The system suggests that the host exchange points for books rted to the relevant fields in the store to replenish his knowledge.]


    Looking at the light blue system interface that appeared before him, Wu Mo was a little surprised.


    "Gasp... I didn''t expect to obtain nearly 200,000 points in one night!"


    He himself did not expect the umted number to be so terrifying.


    It seemed that his habit of showing off in front of others had to persist for a long time.


    In Wu Mo''s opinion, points were a more important resource than money.


    For example, if one wanted to forge equipment of Legendary or higher grade, one had to use one kind of material: Legendary Essence.


    However, there was no single direct source for it in Shanglin City right now. Even if people had money, they could only make an appointment or transfer the goods from other ces. Moreover, there was a high probability that they would have to participate in an auction for it.


    Its price would usually be above £¤3,000,000.


    Meanwhile, in the store, he only needed 15,000 points to make an exchange for the material!


    Not only could he get it immediately, but he could also purchase it three times in a month. With thatparison, the value of the points was obvious.


    The items in the system''s store were not only safe, but also very private.


    There, he could even directly buy high-level equipment. The only drawback was that there were fewer types.


    After umting more than 200,000 points in one go, Wu Mo needed to think about how to n and buy the things he needed more practically.


    Thinking of that, Wu Mo began to estimate his current strength.


    Mjolnir hade from the blueprint in the system, and Wu Mo never had to think of the design.


    However, the increase in his own strength was definitely one of the influencing factors that allowed him to sessfully forge it in such a short period of time.


    If he did not have the blueprint provided by the system now, he couldpletely rely on the Divine-grade Forging Space to forge Epic equipment on his own.


    Even if he did not rely on any of the system''s functions, it would not be too difficult for him to forge top-tier equipment.


    In Wu Mo''s opinion, experience and knowledge were the most precious resources.


    As thought about that, he slowly stood up, stretched his body, and rubbed his sleepy eyes.


    He walked to the bathroom to wash up before he dragged his tired body back to his bed.


    Tomorrow, he only needed to go to school to take a graduation photo. That would be the end of his three-year academic career.


    "It''s not easy to graduate. Let''s rest tonight."


    Looking at the yellowish ceiling, Wu Mo closed his eyes.


    While hey in bed, his mind gradually rxed. Not long after, he fell asleep with even breathing.


    But at this time, Wu Mo had no idea that the discussion about him on the Inte was still brewing.

 Chapter 99 Internet Exposure, Overnight Fame

    The interview after the assessment had allowed him to enter the public''s field of vision.


    And the two-hour video of the assessment at night had made his fame grow further.


    Currently, whenever he randomly clicked on a website in Shanglin City, the front page headline would be a video rted to Wu Mo.


    Wu Mo was obviously the most eye-catching main character in this two-hour-long assessment video.


    It included the assessment and actualbat scenes of the six events, as well as the separate tests of the three big shots. All of them were included.


    The well-known websites'' portals were filled with live broadcast images of bullet screens.


    There were so manyyers of images that it was almost impossible to see the video.


    Theizens who had watched the video were all in an uproar, and the rted topics rushed to the headlines!


    "D*mn, this is too scary. A student who just graduated could actually forge a Divine weapon?!"


    "Is this the inner scroll of education? I love it!"


    "How sad, how sad. The courage to forge a Divine weapon in Shanglin City actually fell on the shoulders of a student who is about to graduate. I really don''t know what those high-level forgers are doing."


    "That''s right, that''s right. Our younger generation is more reliable."


    "Aren''t you focusing on the wrong things? But then again, that student named Wu Mo is really powerful!"


    "Needless to say, to be able to forge a Divine weapon at such a young age, it''s obvious that his future will be very bright."


    "Sigh... Let me tell you thetest news.". "My aunt is the cleaner in the auditorium. She heard that the person in charge of Apple offered Wu Mo a sry of £¤100,000 a month, and some even gave him a car to live in. Wu Mo, that student, refused. This is breaking news!"


    "F*ck... I really don''t know what he''s thinking. F*ck, we ordinary people can''t earn that much money even in three to five years. That young man actually earns such a high sry in a month. It''s really infuriating!"


    "What''s there to be angry about? It''s not easy to be a cksmith. Not only do you have to have extraordinary talent, but you also have to work very hard. You also have to umte a lot of resources to be a high-level cksmith. Rather than being envious of these cksmiths, it''s better to go online and scold those capitalists who owe migrant workers money."


    Discussions about the design assessment on the Inte rose and fell.


    Some strongly criticized the educational content, while others expressed that Wu Mo''s future was promising.


    At the same time, many people were attracted by Wu Mo''s personal charm and became his hardcore fans. If anyone dared to nder him on the inte, those fans who formed spontaneously would definitely criticize him.


    At the same time, the news of Wu Mo winning the design assessment also spread to many high-ranking people.


    Those who were in high positions could not help but sigh in their hearts. The profession of a cksmith really relied on talent to make a living.


    In Shanglin City, there were three six-star cksmiths, but there had never been a Divine weapon in all these years.


    It was because of this that the news of Wu Mo forging a Divine weapon could reach everyone''s ears.


    At the same time, many people had thoughts of recruiting Wu Mo into thepany or cooperating with him.


    However, Wu Mo, who was sleeping soundly, didn''t know about these things on the inte.


    Time passed slowly.


    The next morning, Bai Ze woke up at seven o''clock in the morning.


    The school only needed to take photos in the afternoon.


    Wu Mo had enough time in the morning to prepare for a trip to Treasure Pavilion.


    Thest time he raided the treasure hall, he still had some of the materials stored in Treasure Pavilion. Now that he had finished forging the Divine artifact, his Interspatial Ring was more than half empty. It was time to move them back.


    Having made up his mind, Wu Mo put on his clothes and was about to go downstairs.


    At this moment, he received a message from Jiang Mengyao.


    "Good morning. Are you up now? Do you want to go downstairs for breakfast?"<sub> </sub>


    Hearing Jiang Mengyao''s energetic voice, Wu Mo couldn''t help but smile.


    This girl always brought him joy and hope during his recent difficult times.


    "Alright... But after dinner, I have to go to the treasure pavilion first."


    Wu Mo quickly came back with a message, turned around and walked downstairs.


    The atmosphere on campus today was a bit special.


    Since they had already passed the most severe design assessment, everyone''s face was full of relief.


    Of course, there were also some who had a bitter look on their faces, probably because their test results were not very good.


    The sun was shining on the yground at around eight o''clock in the morning.


    Wu Mo stepped on the fallen leaves and just as he walked out of the male dormitory building, he saw Jiang Mengyao already waiting under a big tree.


    Today, Jiang Mengyao wasn''t wearing the cksmith''s exclusive clothing, but a set of clothes that was simr to the style of the little sister next door.


    Today, she wore a light blue doll cor shirt and a gray pleated skirt, revealing a well-proportioned and good-looking calf.


    A gentle breeze blew past, and the bangs on Jiang Mengyao''s forehead swayed slightly. Her fair oval face looked a little baby fat, and her skin was soft and fragile.


    After seeing Wu Mo walk out of the dormitory building, the corner of her mouth curled up beautifully. There was a faint dimple at the corner of her mouth, and just a nce was enough to make one intoxicated.


    "You''re awake so early. Did you sleepst night?"


    Wu Mo blinked, feeling that he had notpletely escaped from his slumber.


    Jiang Mengyao rolled her eyes and said naturally, "Of course, after today, everyone will have to go their separate ways. You have to wake up earlier and take in all the things that you miss."


    Wu Mo tilted his head. "When you say miss, does that include me?"


    He raised his eyebrows and carefully observed Jiang Mengyao''s expression.


    Thetter''s face immediately turned slightly red and she turned her head away.


    "What are you thinking about? I know a delicious wonton store not far from here. Hurry up and go there."


    Seeing Jiang Mengyao change the topic somewhat hesitantly, Wu Mo couldn''t help but want tough.


    The two walked through the tree-lined path and quickly walked out of the east gate of the Divine Arms Academy.


    After a short while, they arrived at the Wonton store that Jiang Mengyao mentioned.


    This wonton store wasn''t big, but it was filled with the smell of smoke and fire.


    The Lady Boss and her husband ran the shop. Although they were busy, there was a smile on their faces.


    They found a seat in the shop and sat down.


    They ordered wontons with all kinds of fillings.


    During their conversation, Wu Mo learned that Jiang Mengyao had been to this stall countless times during her three years in school. She was reluctant to part with the Lady Boss who loved tough and chat.


    In less than five minutes, two bowls of freshly cooked wontons were delivered to her.


    Wu Mo picked up his chopsticks and opened one. After seeing the filling inside, he immediately understood some of Jiang Mengyao''s feelings.


    The wontons didn''t taste very good, and the wonton skin wasn''t as thin as the other shops.


    But it felt like eating at home, which made Wu Mo think of his parents who were still in the countryside.


    When he was done here, he wanted to go back to his hometown before going to the institute.

 Chapter 100 How Many More Secrets Does He Have?

    Other than going backst winter vacation, he hadn''t seen the two elders for more than half a year. It would be a lie if he said he didn''t miss them.


    Although Wu Mo had only transmigrated to this world for a month, he had personally experienced the two elders'' concern and longing for him!


    "What are you thinking about? Why are you so engrossed?"


    Jiang Mengyao, who was sitting across from him, immediately asked curiously.


    "Oh... nothing. I''m just thinking about going back to my hometown in a few days."


    Jiang Mengyao nodded and said with a smile, "Indeed. It''s not easy to graduate. It''s time to go back."


    Wu Mo nodded and the two of them stopped talking. They lowered their heads and ate the wontons that brought warmth to others.


    Ten minutester, Wu Mo left the money and left the wonton store with Jiang Mengyao.


    Initially, Wu Mo nned to go to Treasure Pavilion alone. However, Jiang Mengyao said that she had some free time in the morning and insisted on going together for a walk.


    Wu Mo had no choice but to bring her along.


    As they walked on the road, the warm wind blew against their faces.


    Seeing the carriages carrying goods passing by one after another, Wu Mo''s mood was not calm at the moment.


    ...


    Changxi Street, Treasure Pavilion.


    Treasure Pavilion was having a very busy day.


    When it opened at seven o''clock in the morning, there was an endless stream of peopleing to ce custom orders and buy materials.


    Gao Yue was shocked by this grand asion. He only found out after listening to a customer.


    It turned out that it was because of Wu Mo''s celebrity effect.


    The news of Wu Mo helping Treasure Pavilion win thepetition and the backhand annexation of Unique Treasure Hall was searched out by the masses again.


    It allowed Treasure Pavilion to enjoy being a hot search as well.


    If the masters who had forged the Divine artifacts were the special consultants of Treasure Pavilion, then how awesome would Treasure Pavilion be.


    There were many people who had such thoughts, and their warehouse almost sold out.


    After sending off a batch of customers, Yu Qing wiped the sweat off her forehead, feeling that she could no longer keep up.


    "It''s been hard on you. You can be the reception manager next month!" Gao Yue walked out of the shop and said with a smile.


    Yu Qing''s petite mouth was slightly open. She was a little surprised.


    She was about to say something when she saw Wu Mo walking over with a girl.


    "Manager, Mr. Wu is here..."


    "Sigh... it''s useless even if Mr. Wu is here. The position of manager is still yours. Oh, he''s really here."


    Manager Gao subconsciously thought that Yu Qing was being modest, but when he subconsciously turned around, he saw Wu Mo. .


    He immediately went forward to wee him, smiling so much that his eyes almost disappeared.


    "Mr. Wu, why are you here! Congrattions, congrattions. The whole city knows about you being the best student of the Divine Arms Academy. Thanks to your celebrity effect, our one-hour turnover has already exceeded the whole day."


    Gao Yue immediately cupped his hands to congratte Wu Mo. Seeing that Wu Mo''s expression did not change at all, he was stunned for a moment, then added on.


    "The tenth elder just went to restock the goods. He will only be back in ten minutes."


    "It''s alright. I''m here to take the materials that I previously saved with me."


    Wu Mo patted Gao Yue''s shoulder and said jokingly, "Why are you acting like ackey now? I still like the arrogant and unruly you from before!"


    Gao Yue scratched his head and looked embarrassed. "I''ll try my best to adjust."<sub> </sub>


    Yu Qing immediately covered her mouth andughed when she saw this.


    The four of them returned to Treasure Pavilion''s hall, then immediately went to the second floor and went to the warehouse where the materials were stored.


    As the heavy warehouse door was opened, Wu Mo found that therge pile of materials in the warehouse had disappeared. Only the big boxes in the upper right corner were still full of rare materials.


    "Thanks."


    Wu Mo nodded and walked in quickly. Then, he immediately activated the equipment effect of the interspatial ring.


    The next moment, a white light shed.


    All the materials in the four big boxes were put in.


    He walked out of the warehouse and prepared to leave after saying a few words. However, manager Gao Yue who was beside him spoke first.


    "Mr. Wu, let''s go and have a cup of tea. The tenth elder said that he would be back soon. He specifically told me to ask you to wait for a moment."


    Wu Mo raised his eyebrows but did not say anything. He went to the VIP room with Jiang Mengyao.


    They lit incense and poured tea. The few of them chatted about the past. Jiang Mengyao did not expect Wu Mo''s strength to be revealed so early on. She was a little surprised.


    "Mr. Wu, you''ve graduated now. Do you have any ns for the future?"


    Gao Yue stood up and poured tea for Wu Mo. at the same time, he asked curiously.


    Wu Mo looked at the lush green flowers in the courtyard outside the window. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Yesterday, Mr. Zhou from the Research Department gave me an offer letter, hoping that I would go to the capital. I agreed, so I should be leaving in the next two days."


    When Gao Yue heard this, his face was full of surprise. At the same time, he looked at Wu Mo with even more reverence.


    As he had expected, in just half a month''s time, Wu Mo had broken through the shackles of Shanglin City and be the person he looked up to.


    Thinking back to the first time he saw Wu Mo, his slightly thin face and the sharp gaze hidden within, Gao Yue felt that time had passed very quickly.


    "Jingdou is good. That''s a base city. Its development prospects are much better than Shanglin City."


    Yu Qing, who was standing behind the sofa, immediately nodded in agreement.


    The few of them did not chat for long. They only heard the sound of hurried footstepsing from downstairs. It was clear that the tenth elder had arrived.


    Wu Mo and Jiang Mengyao stood up. At this moment, the spirited tenth elder knocked on the door and walked in. When he saw Wu Mo, he immediately revealed a radiant smile.


    "Mr. Wu, you''re visiting Treasure Pavilion, but I didn''t wee you from afar. I''m really sorry!"


    The skinny tenth elder cupped his fists and apologized. Wu Mo waved his hand, not caring about these things at all.


    "I heard from Gao Yue and the others that you have something to discuss with me. I don''t know what you want to discuss."


    Wu Mo went straight to the point and asked what he was suspicious about.


    "It''s true. Mr. Wu, please have a seat."


    The tenth elder nodded and everyone took their seats again.


    "Do you still remember how you asked me to sell the interspatial ring and the Mercury Cloak in the pavilionst week?"


    As he said that, the tenth elder sent someone to his bedroom to take out a box and put it on the table.


    "This week, the pavilion has sold a total of four mercury cloaks and seven interspatial rings. We''ve earned a total of £¤15,000,000. Excluding the cost of materials and ording to the ratio we agreed on before, Treasure Pavilion will have to pay you £¤9,000,000.


    "Also, the owner of the Guangli Trading Company, Jia Wei, who signed the contract with you, has already sold two batches of Interspatial Rings. Since he couldn''t contact you, he transferred the shares of the sales into his cardst night. A total of £¤33,000,000. Please take a look."


    As he spoke, the tenth elder opened the password box. There were three checks for £¤10,000,000 and three checks for £¤1,000,000. A total of six checks were saved.


    Looking at therge check in front of her, Jiang Mengyao, who was sitting at the side, felt that it wasn''t real. When did Wu Mo sign the contract? He actually earned so much money!


    It seemed that Wu Mo still had many secrets that she did not know!


    Mengyao''s thoughts stirred slightly, while Wu Mo remainedcalm.

 Chapter 101 Bidding Farewell To The People From Treasure Pavilion

    He took out the six checks and entered them into the app. He immediately cashed out all the money inside.


    He nned to save a portion of this money to buy materials. After all, with his current strength increasing, the quality of the Divine weapons he would forge in the future would definitely not be low. At the same time, he also needed more expensive materials.


    Wu Mo put the other part of the money into his personal bank card. He nned to save it for his parents when he returned to his hometown.


    The check number had already been exchanged. At this time, the check was just a piece of waste paper. He tore a corner of it and threw it directly into the trash can at the side.


    Seeing Wu Mo casually deposit the money into the bank, Gao Yue and Yu Qing could not help but sigh in their hearts.


    The golden scale was not something in the pond. Just now, Wu Mo had shown his prowess. In the future, he would probably be a big figure that could influence the country''s war situation!


    Seeing that the matter of the money had been settled, the tenth elder immediately smiled, he immediately said, "I heard that Mr. Wu will leave Shanglin City in a few days. Although I only have a rtionship with Mr. Wu for less than half a month, I admire Mr. Wu very much in my heart."


    "I''m an old man, and I don''t have anything valuable on me. But in order to keep it as a souvenir..."


    As he spoke, the tenth elder reached out his somewhat dry hand and touched his pocket. Then, he took out a brown bracelet.


    "This thing was also given to me by an old man. I''ll lend it to you as a gift!"


    It was a leather bracelet with a 55 mm ring. It should be made of cowhide. There were many mysterious patterns on the leather. At the same time, there were white diamonds iid on both sides. The workmanship was not bad, but because it had been stored for too long, its surface was a little dull. It seemed like an ordinary item.


    If this item was ced in an ordinary antique market, it should be able to blend in perfectly and not stand out at all.


    However, the tenth elder was taking it out with his hands, so how could Wu Mo treat this item as an ordinary item?


    Even though he did not want to ept it, his curiosity made him ask the system to appraise it.


    [Appraisal sessful. 100 points have been deducted. Remaining points: 234,486 points. Equipment attributes are as follows...]


    "Oh, it''s going to happen!"


    After hearing that 100 points had been deducted, Wu Mo raised his eyebrows.


    He immediately read the interface that appeared in front of him.


    [Equipment Type: Bracelet


    [Equipment Name: Sharp Leather Bracelet.


    [Equipment Grade: Epic.


    [System Score: 68 points.


    [Equipment Effects: 1. Chill (wearer will sense danger ahead of time. Cooldown: one day)


    [2. Focus (when forging equipment, the probability of failure is reduced by 10%)


    [3. Sharpness (after equipping, the armor-piercing effect of the weapon you are currently wearing will be increased by one level. Note: the armor-piercing effect cannot prate a defense that is of a higher level than the weapon.)


    [4. Freeze (when under attack, whether or not the enemy is hit, the enemy will be frozen and unable to move for one second. Cooldown: Ten hours. Note: This effect cannot be activated due to damage!)


    [Equipment Evaluation: This is an old piece of equipment. As it has not been properly maintained, the equipment is partially damaged. Overall, it is not bad.]


    Seeing the evaluation given by the system, Wu Mo''s heart moved slightly.


    Although this leather bracelet was only at epic grade, it had four equipment effects. If it could be repaired, it might be able to be upgraded to legendary grade.


    Even if it only had three effects, it was still a rare collectible.


    However, he had already received a lot of benefits from the tenth elder. If he epted it without knowing what was good for him, wouldn''t he be ungrateful?


    After all, it was a piece of Epic-grade equipment, and it was worth at least £¤6,000,000.


    Thinking of this, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Tenth Elder, you''re too polite. I''ve already received a lot of benefits from Treasure Pavilion. If I were to ept more gifts, wouldn''t I be a greedy person?"


    "Although I don''t understand the profundity of this bracelet, I can tell that its value is extraordinary just by looking at your personal protection. I absolutely cannot take it."<sub> </sub>


    Wu Mo''s words were not hypocritical, but he really felt that it was a little inappropriate.


    After all, this was the personal possession of the tenth elder. Even with his feet, he could tell how much the tenth elder valued it.


    He did not want to owe anyone a favor.


    Hearing Wu Mo''s refusal, the tenth elder immediately smiled and waved his hand. "Mr. Wu, you don''t have to be so polite. This old man doesn''t need this thing. Just treat it as a small gift. If you refuse again, you won''t treat this old man as a friend!"


    Seeing the tenth elder use his trump card, the corners of Wu Mo''s eyes could not help but Twitch. He had no choice but to keep it.


    "Alright, this old man knows that you are quite busy these few days. I won''t keep you for long. Let''s meet again in the future if we are fated!"


    Seeing that the tenth elder had stood up, Wu Mo immediately cupped his hands.


    "Tenth Elder, don''t worry. We will definitely have the opportunity to meet again in the future. The younger generation will remember the care you have taken for me during this period of time."


    Soon, the group of people left the VIP room and came to the hall.


    "Mr. Wu, Treasure Pavilion will always be your friend. If you need anything in the future, just ask!"


    At this moment, Gao Yue walked over and said excitedly.


    The tenth elder nodded with a smile on his face.


    "Alright, I will leave first. There is still a long way to go. We will meet again if we are fated!"


    Wu Mo waved his hand and engraved the tenth elder, Gao Yue, Yu Qing, and the others who were standing at the door into his mind. Then, he raised his head and took a look at Treasure Pavilion''s magnificent que.


    He turned around and left Changxi Street.


    Walking on the road, he could not help but ask when he saw Jiang Mengyao looking at him with a surprised expression.


    "Why... am I wearing gold on my face?"


    Jiang Mengyao shook her head, and the skin on her cheek that could be easily broken by the wind swayed slightly.


    "You''re so handsome today!"


    She smiled and raised her thumb, revealing a few white teeth.


    The little girl was not stingy with her praise, but it made Wu Mo feel a little embarrassed.


    He had never been praised by a member of the opposite sex his entire life.


    "Alright, if you say any more, I''ll float into the sky. It''s almost time to go back to school."


    Wu Mo changed the topic and started talking about school matters.


    The two of them walked on the road and soon returned to the campus.


    Walking on the tree-lined path, looking at the slightly swaying trees and the dancing butterflies in the bushes, Jiang Mengyao suddenly said, "You might be leaving Shanglin City tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Don''t you have anything you want to tell me before you leave?"


    She turned to look at Wu Mo, her big watery eyes blinking.


    "Uh... that''s right. I want to tell you to take care of yourself in the future and work hard to reach a higher level in the future."


    Wu Mo scratched his head and felt a little embarrassed.


    Jiang Mengyao sighed after hearing that. She pouted and said, "I want to work hard too. I want to catch up with you in the future and go to the Research Department or something. But you''ve performed so well. No matter how hard I work, I''ll only fall farther and farther behind you..."


    Looking at Jiang Mengyao''s pitiful look, Wu Mo couldn''t bear it. He walked up to her and stroked her soft hair. "Alright, if you get good grades, shouldn''t you be happy to graduate? Why are you still unhappy?" heforted her.


    "If you can''t keep up, I''ll wait for you."

 Chapter 102 Graduation Photo

    Wu Mo''s tone was gentle. He was trying his best not to let Jiang Mengyao''s mood worsen.


    "Hmph... maybe you''ll run faster when the timees."


    Jiang Mengyao was amused by Wu Mo, but she still pretended to be unhappy.


    After a while, the two returned to their respective dorms.


    They also agreed to go to the school together for a group photo at two in the afternoon.


    After returning to his single dorm, Wu Mo sat on the soft couch as usual.


    He took off the leather bracelet on his wrist and asked, "System, can you give me the maintenance n for this thing?"


    He felt that the fourth effect of the bracelet was very good. If he was not careful and was ambushed, he could still fight for a chance to escape.


    Although Wu Mo did not need these things now that he had a Divine artifact with him, it was always good to have more insurance.


    Due to the bracelet being used for too long, as well as the damage caused by improper storage, repairing it required a gemstone of the same type, and using energy stones and other materials to repair the damaged array formation. The cost of the materials was about 1.7 million


    Hearing the system''s exnation, Wu Mo frowned slightly.


    The materials for the array formation were easy to deal with. He still had a few baskets in his ring, but stones of the same type were a little difficult to deal with.


    He carefully examined the bracelet and noticed that it was an ice-type ore. However, this stone was a product from more than ten years ago. Where could he find it now?


    "It looks like I''ll have to put the repair work on hold for now. I''ll find an opportunity to repair it after I go to the capital."


    After putting the leather bracelet back on, Wu Mo opened the system store and prepared to buy some books on runes.


    Thest time he forged Mjolnir, he had drawn a rune that he had created himself. He was quite lucky at the time, but he couldn''t keep creating his own runes, could he? Wouldn''t he have to rack his brains?


    There were a total of five major categories in the system store. There were gemstones used for iying, materials used for forging equipment or formations, finished equipment, potions, and books.


    However, there were only a few pages of goods in each category, so it was not enough for Wu Mo to be self-sufficient.


    He opened the book category menu.


    Wu Mo scrolled down from top to bottom and quickly found a book on Tier 2 to Tier 3 runes.


    However, the exchange points for 1000 points made his heart ache a little.


    This price was equivalent to £¤300,000. Using it to buy a book was indeed a little extravagant.


    However, now that he had to deal with his shorings, he could only grit his teeth and buy it.


    Although he had several hundred thousand points now, most of them were earned from the designpetition yesterday. He would not have such an opportunity in the future.


    ? After the exchange, the points in the upper right corner of the system interface immediately changed to 233486.


    At the same time, a brand new book appeared on the coffee table in front of him.


    It was just that this book seemed to have just been printed. Although the quality was good, it still made Wu Mo feel as if the money he spent wasn''t worth it.


    There were about ny pages of books rted to rune knowledge, and each page had a different exnation of runes as well as rted knowledge.


    However, the water content was too dry, just like reading a thesis. After reading for a while, Wu Mo felt a little dazed.


    "Looks like this learning process will continue for a period of time."


    He rubbed his temples and sighed. Then, he sat on the couch andy down.


    After graduation, the mountain in front of him disappeared. Wu Mo did not study as hard as before. Instead, hebined his work and rest.


    It was not even two o''clock in the afternoon when Jiang Mengyao sent him a message.


    Wu Mo tidied up his appearance a little and went downstairs.


    Today''s group photo had to be posted on the honor board of the campus. He had to pay attention to his appearance.


    The two of them met outside the dormitory building and walked toward the teaching building together.<sub> </sub>


    On the way, Wu Mo saw many students walking together in groups of two or three. They were chatting andughing. The atmosphere waspletely different from before.


    Looking at the bamboo forest in front of him and the scene of the school buildings standing tall, he couldn''t help but sigh with emotion in his heart.


    At this moment, quite a number of students had gathered in the open space outside a group of ssrooms.


    Professor Zhou Yan and a few assistant teachers had arrived in formal attire.


    However, to Wu Mo''s surprise, Principal Qiu and Mayor Zhao had also arrived for some unknown reason.


    A photographer was waiting at the side, looking very professional.


    "Um... is this really just an ordinary group photo?"


    He had some doubts in his heart, but at this moment, when Principal Qiu and the mayor saw that Wu Mo had arrived, they immediately walked over with smiles on their faces.


    "Wu Mo, I heard that you are going to report to the Research Department in a few days. This is really something to celebrate."


    Principal Qiu had a kind smile on his face as he said cheerfully.


    "My student is lucky to have Mr. Zhou''s help. Otherwise, with my ability, I don''t know when I would be able to enter such a sacred ce!"


    Wu Mo bowed slightly to the two of them and said humbly.


    "Haha, Principal Qiu, your student is really humble. The Research Department is a ce that countless forgers dream of. Shanglin City has a student who is invited in with an engagement letter. It''s an honor for us!"


    The mayor smiled and praised. Then, without waiting for Wu Mo to open his mouth, he changed the subject and said, "I heard that your household registration isn''t in Shanglin City. That won''t do. It will be troublesome if you want to do anything in the future."


    "For a young talent like Wu Mo to win glory for Shanglin City, he must be given enough recognition."


    "The local citizens'' housing benefits, the preferential treatment for talents to settle down, all of these can not be missed!"


    The mayor spoke with a serious expression, and Principal Qiu immediately nodded in agreement.


    "Thank you for your concern, Principal and Mayor. I will definitely consider this issue carefully."


    Wu Mo nodded and expressed his opinion at the same time.


    At this moment, a middle-aged photographer quickly walked over to Principal Qiu. "Principal, the students of Group One are all here. You can take photos with them at any time."


    Very soon, the group of students was either sitting or standing, divided into three rows and captured by the camera.


    Meanwhile, Wu Mo was sitting beside the principal and the mayor. Although he said that he didn''t need them, the two of them still did so.


    Soon, the photo was printed out. The mayor, the principal, Zhou Yan, and many other teachers were among them.


    Many familiar faces of the students that Wu Mo was familiar with were also included in the photo at this moment.


    "This is great..."


    The three years of studying time was finally condensed into this picture. Each of them kept one as a memento.


    Perhaps when they entered middle age in the future, they would still be able to find some time to reminisce about that period of youth.


    After the picture was taken, everyone had a half-hour break. After that, it was the general mobilization meeting to bring the graduation to a close.


    The teacher and the principal left.


    The students were all free.


    At this moment, Wu Mo realized that someone was staring at him.


    He turned his head to look and found that the ss monitor, Tang Mu, was looking at him with some fear.


    "Huh?"


    He thought that the other party had something to tell him, so he walked over directly.


    When Tang Mu saw Wu Mo walking over, she thought that the other party was going to take revenge, so she was so scared that she almost ran away.

 Chapter 103 A Small Gift For Professor Zhou Yan

    He hadpletely lost the battle with Wu Mo, and his final assessment score was more than 20 points lower than the other party''s.


    In addition, the principal and mayor treated Wu Mo so well.


    That made Tang Mu see the difference in strength between him and Wu Mo.


    Therefore, he looked at Wu Mo with some fear and worry in his eyes.


    After all, he had said a lot of bad things about him in public and even mocked him in the auditorium.


    Their rtionship had entered a freezing point.


    "Why are you running? Am I trying to eat you?"


    Wu Mo looked at Tang Mu with a strange expression.


    In his mind, was Tang Mu not conceited and arrogant? Did he not take others seriously?


    Why was he listless now?


    "No-Nothing."


    Tang Mu shrunk his neck and stammered.


    "Hey, don''t be afraid, I won''t do anything to you. Although we didn''t get along in the past, we were still ssmates who worked together for three years, weren''t we?" Wu Mo patted Tang Mu''s shoulder and said magnanimously.


    At that moment, Tang Mu even thought that he had misheard him.


    He did not expect Wu Mo to actually forgive him.


    No way! In the beginning, the people did not take Wu Mo seriously at all!


    Thinking of that, Tang Mu looked away slightly.


    He had always felt that his strength was super strong, and no one in the entire ss could be on par with him.


    But now, he seemed arrogant and confident back then. He had been a clown.


    Not only was Wu Mo super strong, but he was also magnanimous. He was indeed worthy of being someone who could achieve great things!


    Realizing this, his thoughts suddenly became clear.


    "Wu Mo... I admit that you''re stronger than me, but I''ll work even harder in the future. One day, I''ll catch up to you!"


    He clenched his fists and dered it with a face full of fighting spirit.


    "Haha, that''s for the best."


    Wu Mo said with a smile as he patted Tang Mu on the shoulder.


    During this exchange, one person suddenly came to mind.


    Wei Jiaming, theguy who harbored a murderous intent toward him.


    At that thought, his face turned slightly cold.


    "Tang Mu... do you know why Wei Jiaming didn''te?"


    Sensing the coldness in Wu Mo''s words, Tang Mu''s body trembled. "Well, he left the academy before he took the graduation assessment. Later on, he somehow became qualified to take the assessment."


    "But because he failed the exam, he did not get the graduation certificate. He must have gone back to his third year of high school..."


    He scratched his head and spoke carefully.


    "Ha... I see."


    Wu Mo''s mouth curled slightly. He patted Tang Mu''s shoulder and turned around to leave.


    About twenty minutester, they arrived at thergest school square in front of the Divine Arms Academy''s main gate.


    A six-meter-tall giant stone sculpture was standing in the middle of the square. From the looks of it, it seemed to be a powerful cksmith.


    However, it had been a long time since it was erected, and the sculpture''s corroded facial features were a little blurry.


    Even so, Wu Mo felt that the sculpture''s figure was somewhat simr to Principal Qiu''s.


    During the final teacher-student conference, all the students listened to the speech with unprecedented seriousness.


    The teachers'' and students'' experiences over the past three years were disyed on the big screen. Many of the more sensitive students shed tears at the scene.


    Professor Zhou Yan and a teaching assistant looked at the group of students who were standing in a straight line. They were also quite reluctant to part with them.


    However, no banquet went on forever. At five o''clock in the afternoon, the final farewell meeting, whichsted for two hours, ended.


    The crowded square gradually became empty.<sub> </sub>


    In the office, a few teachers looked at the student photos that were distributed. While they were happy that the students could graduate, they were also reluctant to part with those cute and naughty children.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    At that moment, there was a knock on the door outside the office.


    Zhou Yan immediately put the photos into the drawer and collected herself.


    "Come in!"


    The person outside pushed the door open and walked in. Zhou Yan looked up and saw that it was Wu Mo.


    "It''s already sote. Why haven''t you gone home?" she sniffed and said in a rxed tone.


    Wu Mo smiled. "Of course it''s because I can''t bear to part with you, Professor. Back when I was astray, it was you who guided me and helped me keep my rank as a four-star cksmith. Now that I''ve sessfully graduated, how could I forget you, Professor?"


    Looking at the confident Wu Mo in front of her, Zhou Yan opened her mouth. She felt that the big boy in front of her had suddenly be much more mature.


    "Professor, Ie from an average family. My parents are both working in my hometown, and you know very well that I can''t give you anything valuable. But please ept this small gift."


    As he spoke, Wu Mo took out an exquisite red gift box. There was a cartoon illustration of a teacher and a student taking a picture together on the box.


    Zhou Yan was surprised. She did not expect Wu Mo to give her something.


    She was about to reject it, but Wu Mo predicted her response in advance.


    "Professor, it''s nothing valuable. Please ept it. I''m leaving it here to thank you for caring for me and Jiang Mengyao all these years!"


    After Wu Mo said that, he quickly left and closed the door without waiting for Zhou Yan to react.


    A few dumbfounded assistant teachers were the only ones left there.


    "Hey, that student, Wu Mo, is really kind. He didn''t forget to send his teacher a gift. Professor Zhou, please open it and take a look."


    A few assistant teachers surrounded her while they chattered. Zhou Yan was a little shy, but she could not resist the temptation and had no choice but to open it.


    ...


    At that moment, outside the teaching building, Wu Mo quickly walked toward Jiang Mengyao who was waiting for him.


    "How did it go? Did you give pass our gifts to the professor?"


    Jiang Mengyao walked forward and asked with a face full of anticipation.


    "I did. I even included the bracelet you made," Wu Mo nced at the office on the fifth floor and said with a smile.


    "Alright... let''s go. Our dorm''s closing at eight o''clock. Hurry up and pack your things."


    "Um... When you say it that way, people will think that we''re living together."


    "Pfft... It''s just a slip of the tongue."


    The two of them left quickly as they joked around.


    Right then, a burst of purple light gushed out of the window on the fifth floor of the teaching building.


    [Purple Epic equipment, Phoenix Crown sessfully exchanged, Cost: 8000 points. ]


    [Equipment Type: Crown


    [Equipment Name: Phoenix Crown.


    [Equipment Grade: Epic


    [System Score: 61 points.


    [Equipment Effect: 1. Distant Cloud (reduces damage from 50 meters away by half)


    [2. Awestruck (activates Phoenix Cry, inflicts a shuddering state on targets, immobilizing them. Itsts for one second. Cooldown: Thirty hours)


    [3. Asylum (protects the wearer from a life-threatening injury at the cost of destroying the equipment but will cause the wearer to fall into a serious injury state)


    [Equipment Evaluation: This piece of equipment has just reached Epic grade, but it is exquisite!]


    Looking at the rapidly dropping points, Wu Mo''s expression remained calm.


    Zhou Yan was the person who cared about him the most in the entire Divine Arms Academy. Even when he had skipped sses for a few months to tinker with the Divine weapon at home, she still gave him encouragement and care.


    If it were not for her, Wu Mo would have been expelled long ago.


    How would he have his current achievements?


    Hence, Wu Mo did not spend those 8,000 points in vain.

 Chapter 104 Depart, Return Home In Glory!

    He hated owing people favors the most. Even the cute Professor Zhou Yan could not get away with it!


    At that moment, in the office on the teaching building''s fifth floor, Zhou Yan and the three teaching assistants were all dumbfounded when they saw the beautiful headgear and the custom-made bracelet that did not really stand out. The headgear was emitting a purple glow


    As for the culprit, Wu Mo, he returned to his single dormitory to pack up his luggage, hiding his achievements and fame.


    At that moment, a wave of shouts came from outside. The middle-school students, who were about to board the train tomorrow and go their separate ways, threw the examination papers that tested their knowledge of forging down the fence.


    It was as if it was raining paper from the sky.


    The dormitory manager and cleaningdy backed up against the wall and scolded the little b*stards.


    Wu Mo took his luggage out from under the bed and packed all his important things into suitcases.


    He was not affected by the situation outside at all.


    Each person''s joys and sorrows were not rted. At that moment, he only found the kids outside too noisy.


    The special ceremony did not quieten down until ten o''clock in the evening.


    By then, Wu Mo was lying down in his empty bedroom, looking at the bright moon outside through the window.


    He could not help but feel a ripple in his heart.


    As the bright moon reflected his face, his homesickness was like surging spring water that could not be blocked.


    Although he was a transmigrator, his experiences over the past month had allowed him to build a strong rtionship with his parents.


    In addition to the memories that existed in his mind, he had been aware of them since he was young.


    At the earliest point of his memories, his parents had always been dressed in simple clothes.


    They had been farmers for decades, with their faces facing the yellow earth and their backs facing the sky. Both of them were constantly sunburned.


    Whether it was the first month of school or thest week of graduation, in the past three years, his parents had regrly transferred money to his bank card.


    They were afraid that their son would starve in a faraway ce.


    Moreover, the transfer information on the bank card would always be apanied by his parents'' thoughts and care.


    They always told him to eat well, drink plenty of water in summer, study but not until he tired himself out, and not always stay upte and damage his body.


    Although the notes read like a chattering olddy, every time Wu Mo saw them, his heart would feel warm.


    He knew that thousands of miles away, there were still two lovely people who would always worry about him.


    With his parents behind him, he had the courage to travel around. If this connection was broken, he would be the loneliest child in the world.


    Looking at the messages on his phone, Wu Mo could not help but tear up.


    He thought of how his parents treated him when he was young.


    They were just ordinary farmers, but they had to bear tough times and send him to the best school thousands of miles away.


    He had to have a stubborn mind and give him a better life.


    The only people in the world who could treat him so selflessly were his parents.


    Now that he had finally made it, it was time for him to go back.


    He would go back and tell his parents that everything they had done together was worth it.


    He was their pride!


    Feeling moved, Wu Mo''s sleepiness vanished as he looked at the moonlight.


    Just as he was considering whether or not he should enter the forging space to practice, an unread message appeared on his phone.


    "When I woke up to drink water, I noticed that there was a light on your side. You still haven''t gone to bed at this hour?"


    When Wu Mo looked at the message on his phone, he did not know whether tough or cry.


    D*mn it, this girl''s excuse was reallyme.


    Although he had never been to the female dormitory, the two dormitory buildings were identical.


    The bedroom windows in the female dormitory building did not face his side at all. If she wanted to see his room, she had to go to the storage room next to the hall.


    "I''m feeling homesick. I''m not asleep yet."


    He did not want to expose her lie, so after some thought, he sent her back a message.


    "Isn''t your bus leaving at nine in the morning tomorrow? You''re going to bete if you don''t sleep now."<sub> </sub>


    Right then, Jiang Mengyao, who was standing in the storage room, was looking at the male dormitory 200 meters away.


    There was light in most of the windows. Although the distance was so far that she could not see clearly, she still managed to spot the light that belonged to Wu Mo.


    Her infatuated gaze seemed to be saying something.


    "Hmm, I got it. Sleep early too. Even if we don''t see each other after graduation, we can still text, right?"


    Reading Wu Mo''s reply on her phone, Jiang Mengyao''s smile was sweeter than honey.


    She carefully closed the window and returned to her bedroom.


    After replying to his goodnight wish, she immediately covered herself in the nket and felt joy.


    Night fell, and the rooms in the dormitory plunged into darkness little by little.


    Meanwhile, in the principal''s lounge...


    "Is it done?" the gray-haired principal sat on his bed and asked in a cold voice.


    "It''s done, Principal Qiu. The teacher who suggested Wu Mo and Wei Jiaming fight on the day of the assessment has been dismissed, and his sry has been recalled. The student named Wei Jiaming has also been cklisted by the Forging Education Bureau, and he won''t be able to attend any school in Shanglin City or even in the surrounding counties."


    "Mm... Release this news tomorrow. Don''t let others think that the Divine Arms Academy can be easily provoked!"


    "Yes, Sir!"


    The call then ended.


    Principal Qiu stood up from the bedside, the heroic spirit on his face waspletely different from his usual aged appearance.


    He raised his head to look at the silver te hanging in the sky, and his eyes were filled with disdain.


    ...


    The next day, Wu Mo dragged his luggage through the corridor as he walked on the academy''s grounds.


    There were many students carrying nkets and luggage around. Most of them had a smile on their face, which was difficult to hide.


    Although they were not on the honor roll, getting their graduation certificates and ribbons was the most glorious moment for them in more than ten years.


    Wu Mo sent a message to Jiang Mengyao and then walked out of the gate with a smile on his face.


    Looking at the Divine Arms Academy''s fourrge and graceful stone steles in front of the main door, he smiled.


    Then, he took a cab and drove toward the train station.


    Embarking on the journey home made Wu Mo somewhat excited.


    Listening to the Shanglin City''s blend broadcast from the radio station, his mood was rather happy.


    However, at this moment, the middle-aged driver looked at Wu Mo who was sitting in the back row, and his expression was somewhat stunned.


    This student did not look like a rich second-generation, so how could he dare to take a cab?


    One had to know that the cheapest cars now cost £¤700,000 to £¤800,000. If it was better, it would start at £¤2,000,000.


    Besides, the cab fare was in the triple digits because of the far distance. How could an ordinary person afford to take a cab?


    "Let''s go to Shanglin City railway station."


    Wu Mo directly took out his phone and transferred the money over. Only then did the driver start the car in peace.


    It was 8:30 am.


    Wu Mo walked into the waiting hall with his luggage.


    The train arrived at the station with a whining sound. Many students carrying their luggage scrambled to get on the train.


    After all, the train was a public transport facility. Even the children of poor families could afford it.


    Wu Mo got on the train and ced his luggage on the shelf above his head.


    After that, he sat down, twisted open the drink he had just bought, and took a sip.


    This train from the satellite city of Shanglin to the satellite city of Lin Chang was 70% full of students, and some of them were small merchants.


    Each of them was carryingrge and small bags of goods. By the time they had ced their luggage, they were already so tired that their heads were covered in sweat.


    Wu Mo looked at the tform and the scenery outside that were slowly retreating, and a happy smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

 Chapter 105 The Journey Home

    After three years, he finally embarked on the journey home. He did not know if his father''s body was still as healthy as it used to be after such a long time.


    Had his mother recovered from her stomach ailment?


    What about his cute little sister? How tall had she grown?


    Wu Mo now wished that he could immediately fly to the countryside and have a long talk with his family.


    Choo choo...


    As the train sped along the tracks, Wu Mo closed his eyes and nned to rest.


    He did not sleep wellst night and only dozed off for a few hours in the wee hours of the morning.


    However, right then, he heard the sound of a phone call behind him.


    "Mm... sure, I''ll leave the disaster relief for the farmers in Lin Chang to you. I''ll be there tomorrow. I''ll hang up now."


    Hearing the familiar voice, Wu Mo frowned slightly. He subconsciously turned around and found Mayor Zhao, who was wearing a dark blue suit, sitting in the seat behind him.


    "Huh?"


    Zhao Lu ended the call and looked up to see Wu Mo, who was full of doubts. He eximed in surprise, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.


    "Wu Mo, you''re on this train too?"


    ...


    After switching seats, the mayor and Wu Mo sat together, with only a table between them.


    Wu Mo did not expect to meet the mayor on the way home. He was also a little curious as to why Zhao Lu, the mayor of Shanglin City, would make a trip to Lin Chang base city.


    "Wu Mo, it seems that our paths aren''t that divided. We''re actually meeting in the same carriage," Zhao Lu put his phone back into his pocket and said with a smile.


    "My hometown is in the countryside near Lin Chang. I n to go back and visit my parents before I head to the Research Department."


    Wu Mo spoke truthfully as he looked at the ins and mountains that flew past.


    "Hmm... indeed. After studying at the Divine Arms Academy for so many years, you should go back and take a look. However, the countryside is still not a suitable ce to stay. If you''re willing, you can settle down in Shanglin City at any time. When the time is right, you can bring your family over. Your elders have worked hard in the countryside for half their lives. It''s time to take a break."


    Zhao Lu did not put on the airs of a mayor and once again brought up the subject of people settling down.


    <o>,m Wu Mo thought about it. His parents were too tired in the countryside. They had worked hard for half of their lives to support him and his sister in their studies. They had not lived a day offort.</o>


    It was time for them to rest.


    With that in mind, Wu Mo immediately nodded and said, "Okay, since the mayor encourages it, I won''t decline."


    Hearing Wu Mo agree, Zhao Lu''s face instantly lit up with joy.


    Wu Mo was a rare talent, the most promising student in the field of forging. It was enough to see why the Research Department would recruit him. Those important figures had the same thoughts as him.


    If Wu Mo could settle down in Shanglin City, he would be a talent that belonged solely to Shanglin City in the future. If he could forge some era-defining Divine weapon in the future, the entire Shanglin City would be able to benefit from it.


    In the future, when he asked for resources from the higher-ups, he would have more confidence!


    "Alright, alright... I''ll send someone to do the needful right now!"


    Looking at Mayor Zhao''s overjoyed expression, Wu Mo felt a little amused in his heart.


    He was the mayor, yet he did not put on any airs in front of him. There was clearly a difference of almost twenty years between them, yet they got along like friends of the same age.


    At that moment, Mayor Zhao stood up with an excited look on his face, indicating that he would excuse himself for a moment. Then, he went straight to the washroom and called the clerk to arrange for Wu Mo to settle down.


    Wu Mo returned to his original seat and observed his surroundings from the carriage.<sub> </sub>


    The train whistled on the road, rustling the trees under the railway tracks.


    There would asionally be calves ying on the ridges of the fields. Additionally, a few migrant workers wearing bamboo hats were chatting under the trees.


    A young eagle that had just learned to fly flew up to the tallest tree in the forest and stood on the treetops, singing proudly.


    Its wings were growing, and its eyes were sharp as it looked into the distance.


    On the other side, dark clouds were gathering in Lin Chang''s sky.


    In a vige 100 kilometers away from the center of the city, many people had worried looks on their faces.


    It was one of several hundred viges in Lin Chang with simrndforms. It was also the ce where Wu Mo was born and raised¡ªChangkang Vige.


    Changkang Vige was low-lying and had about 100 households. The farmers who lived there depended on the weather to earn a living. If the weather was good and the vegetable market was in good condition, the vigers could earn some money to support their families. They could even save a portion for emergencies in the future.


    If the weather was bad and there were typhoons and torrential rains, however, it would sometimes be toote to save their crops, and the entire spring harvest would go to waste.


    At this time, the entire Changkang Vige was in such a predicament.


    The typhoons in spring were too swift and fierce, apanied by regr showers, causing most of the corn, cabbage, and other crops nted in the farmers'' fields to be ruined.


    Wu Mo''s parents were no exception...


    As a result, their already poor lives became even more difficult.


    Last week, they had pooled all the money in their family to make a few hundred. Despite the times, they did not hesitate to transfer all the money to their son who was studying far away in Shanglin City.


    It was okay for them to be a little bitter and tired, but they could not let their son, who was studying in Shanglin City, starve.


    To avoid distracting their son during the graduation season, they did not reveal anything each time they sent the money!


    A blue-tiled house sat by the side of a muddy path in the countryside.


    There was a wide road outside the gate, and across the road was a field that had been drowning in the rain.


    In the distance, there were endless green mountains, and asionally, saplings could be seen breaking out of the ground.


    A middle-aged woman with rough and dark skin gently pushed the courtyard door open as she carried a basin of clothes back to the house.


    She was Wu Mo''s mother, Fang Hun.


    She was a woman who had worked on the farm for half her life. Managing the house and things outside had made her lose her youth. She had be one of the thousands of ordinary farm women.


    The house with a green-tiled roof upied an area of 80 square meters. It was quite spacious for a family of four.


    However, the facilities inside were pitifully few. The only television in the corner of the hall had not been turned on for many years.


    "Mom, didn''t you say that you''ll rest today and that I''ll wash the clothes?"


    A 12- or 13-year-old girl ran out of her room and helplessly took the red basin.


    The girl was wearing a simple T-shirt and shorts, while her hair was tied in a short ponytail. Although her palm-sized face was a little green, she already looked very beautiful.


    She was wearing a id apron at the moment, and she seemed so mature that it made one''s heart ache.


    "There''s nothing to do, Yan Yan. I have time now."


    "Sigh... I''m at home, so just leave it to me. Come and eat when the food is ready."


    Yan Yan put the basin away and immediately pulled her mother toward the living room.


    At that moment, they heard the sound of footsteps outside. A middle-aged man with short, thick hair and a weathered face walked in.

 Chapter 106 Dad, Mom, I’m Back To See You!

    "There''s a lot of water, and the corn has been soaked rotten. I don''t think we can count on the harvest this year."


    The man took off his rain shoes, and his voice was muffled.


    His brows were knitted into a knot, and his face was full of worry.


    "Old Wu, let''s eat first. There''s always a way. If there''s trouble, we''ll take care of it," Fang Hun helped her husband take off his coat and said with concern.


    Soon, the three of them sat down around the wooden table in the hall.


    Wu Yan served the dishes.


    "I have a stomachache and can''t eat such hot rice. Finish it, father and daughter."


    Fang Hun scooped out two bowls of rice, but she pulled out the drawer and started to eat bread that was already dry and hard.


    Wu Yan saw everything, and her eyes unwittingly turned red.


    After a while, the three of them finished eating. She saw her mother cleaning up the bowls and chopsticks while her father sat in front of the door and smoked one cigarette after another.


    Witnessing this scene, Wu Yan could not hold it in any longer and immediately said, "Mom... if our family''s really in trouble, how about... I don''t pay this year''s textbook fees for now. Let Brother use it first."


    Fang Hun raised her head. Just as she was about to speak, old Wu''s voice came from outside.


    "No, no matter how poor our family is, we cannot leave school out."


    Hearing the rather dull voice, Fang Hun smiled slightly. She rubbed Yan Yan''s head and gently said, "Listen to Dad. Go to school, understand?"


    Yan Yan nodded, and her ponytail swayed in the air. Her serious face was quite cute.


    Soon, Fang Hun brought the bowls to the kitchen to clean up, while little Yan Yan returned to her room to review her homework.


    At that moment, old Wu, who was sitting on the threshold, sighed softly and shook off the ash from his cigarette.


    The calluses on his hands were even yellower than the butt of the cigarette.


    The entire family''s burden was on him, making him feel a little suffocated.


    However, he was the family''s pir, and he was also a standard Chinese father.


    Even if there was pressure and annoyance, he would only hold it in his heart and never express it.


    The night gradually deepened...


    There was the sound of birds chirping and dogs barking outside.


    Little Yan Yan was lying on her side in her own small room.


    Her parents were in the master bedroom to the right of the living room.


    In the master bedroom, besides a cab with a fortune bag from when Fang Hun got married, there was only a small wooden bed.


    Right then, the moon was hanging high outside the window, and the white moonlight shone on old Wu''s face through the dark ss.


    Something seemed to sh in his slightly cloudy eyes.


    A few minutester, he heard the sound of even breathing.


    He propped himself up from the bed and carefully put on his clothes before he pushed the door open and walked out.


    The lights in hundreds of family homes in the vige had already been turned off.


    Only the only streetmp close to the road was still on in the vige.


    He put on his shoes, pushed open the courtyard door, and walked out, wearing the stars and the moon.


    In the dark, he walked all the way to the dock a few kilometers away from the vige.


    He helped unload the cargo ships that were moored there.


    However, such work was usually done by young and strong men in their thirties.


    After all, it was hard work, and it would take more than ten hours to do it. If one was too young or old, one would not be able tost that long.


    After old Wu agreed on the price with a steward, he rubbed his fists and started to work.


    It was not until eight o''clock in the morning that the day''s work was consideredpleted.


    Holding the £¤100 note that the other person gave him, old Wu''s footsteps were much lighter when he returned home.<sub> </sub>


    Although the night''s work made his hands tremble, his face was full of joy.


    When he reached the vige entrance, he greeted a few vigers whom he knew. Then, he went to his own green-tiled house, pushed the door open, and walked in.


    At this time, his daughter, Yan Yan, was still studying in her room, while Hun was washing the pot. When she saw her husband push the door open and walk in, she frowned slightly. She immediately put down the work in her hands and walked up to him.


    "Old Wu, where did you gost night? I couldn''t find you in the morning."


    Seeing her husband''s exhausted look and the red veins in his eyes, Hun''s heart ached. At the same time, she questioned him with concern.


    "Hehe... It''s nothing. My hands were a little itchyst night. I went to find a few old men to y cards. I''m a little sleepy after ying all night. Here... This is the money I earnedst night. My luck was pretty good," old Wu scratched his head and said with a smile.


    Hun looked down at the brand-new notes in old Wu''s hand and instantly understood.


    However, she did not point it out. "Why are you still ying cards? Your health is more important. Go to sleep quickly."


    "Sigh, it doesn''t matter. Our kid''s about to graduate. He needs money to find a job and rent a house. In a few days, we''ll go to the town cooperative and call him."


    "Alright, alright..."


    Hun agreed readily and pushed him into the house.


    In her bedroom, Yan Yan heard her parents'' voices and immediately put down her book and walked out.


    Just then, a voice suddenly rang out from outside.


    "Hey... that person... Old Wu''s son is back. Everyone, go to the vige entrance and take a look. The vige chief is here too!"


    Hearing the voice outside the door, Fang Hun was stunned for a moment. Then, she quickly became excited.


    Old Wu was even faster, though. He immediately grabbed his slippers and tried to run out.


    "Old Wu, slow down..."


    Fang Hun wiped her hands and went together with him.


    Wu Yan was overjoyed when she heard that her brother was back. She chased after him excitedly.


    Along the way, the three of them saw a few vigers running toward the vige entrance as if they were curious.


    After all, there were only a few families in the vige who had sons who were learning to forge.


    A whileter, the three of them arrived at the open space at the vige entrance.


    At that moment, they saw a young man who was dragging his luggage beside the slightly hunched old vige chief. It was Wu Mo!


    The second she saw her son, Hun''s nose turned red, and her footsteps grew more urgent.


    Old Wu, who was usually like a closed jar, immediately grinned.


    "Our son is really home!"


    "Brother!"


    ...


    Wu Mo dragged his luggage and stood at the vige entrance. The vige elder beside him said, "Kid, did you graduate from your school in Shanglin City?"


    "Yes, Vige Elder. I''vee back to visit my family after graduation."


    After he finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at the road not far away. When he saw that many vigers were rushing over, he appeared a little shocked.


    He was only going home. Did the vige elder have to organize a mobilization meeting?


    However, those thoughts did not evenst for three seconds because he saw his parents and younger sister in the crowd. He had missed them for a long time.


    When he saw their faces after more than a year...


    His entire body seemed to fall in a daze. Waves of buzzing reverberated in his mind.


    Without hesitation, he threw down his suitcase and ran toward his parents.


    At that moment, old Wu slowed down a little. His daughter, Wu Yan, was so excited that her eyes were filled with tears. Fang Hun hugged her son in her arms, and the countless thoughts in her heart turned into clear tears.


    "Dad, Mom, Sis... I''m back to see you."


    Wu Mo''s tone was a little gloomy. It was obvious that he was worked up.

 Chapter 107 I’ve Made A Name For Myself!

    Fang Hun''s voice started to crack as she hugged her son, tears streaming down her face.


    His younger sister, Wu Yan, held onto his arm and with joy too.


    Father Wu, who was at the side, raised his arm and patted his wife on the back. "That''s enough. Our child''s return is such a happy asion. Why are you still crying?"


    Heforted her, but the people beside him clearly saw tears in his eyes as well.


    After a moment, they slowly separated.


    "Wow... Old Wu''s son has be more handsome after a year."


    "Yeah, he looks much more energetic. I wonder if he''s found a job yet."


    "This is great. Changkang Vige is going to produce a talented cksmith."


    Everyone was talking at the same time.


    After Fang Hun heard them, she suddenly remembered something. She grabbed her son''s hand with a concerned expression and asked, "Little Mo, I heard that the employment environment for students this year isn''t too good. If you don''t find a good job, you can stay at home for two years. There''s no rush."


    As she spoke, she tidied up Wu Mo''s cor. The concern on her face was obvious.


    "Yes, your mother is right. A good man is ambitious. If there''s nothing good now, we''ll wait a little longer. I know that you''ve dreamed of bing a cksmith since you were young. You don''t have to worry about your family. We''ll definitely have the money for your further education!"


    Father Wu walked up to his son and patted his shoulder. His tone was firm as he spoke.


    "Brother, do your best. I''ll study hard too. Let''s live a good life together," Wu Yan said in a soft voice.


    Wu Mo wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and looked at his parents, who wereforting him, with a shocked expression.


    Moments ago, the atmosphere was touching when the family reunited.


    Why did his parents suddenly say those two sentences?


    They made it seem like he had not graduated. What the hell was this?


    Seeing both of theirforting expressions, Wu Mo immediately exined, "Father, Mother... what are you talking about? I''ve already found a job. In half a day at most, your son is going to the National Artifact Research Department in Beijing. I came back just to see you. Did the two of you misunderstand something?"


    As soon as Wu Mo said that, his parents appeared a little dumbfounded before him.


    Their surrounding rtives were also surprised. Had old Wu''s son found a good job?


    They had heard from the vige chief that a cksmith''s monthly sry was over £¤10,000.


    "I also came back this time to bring you both to Shanglin City."


    As he spoke, he lowered his head and stroked his sister''s soft hair. He smiled and added, "Isn''t Little Sis going to junior high soon? Where else can we get a better education for her? When the timees, our family will be reunited. How great would that be?"


    "Right, Yan Yan?"


    Wu Mo blinked, and Yan Yan immediately nodded with an expectant look on her face. At the same time, she naively said, "That would definitely be good. When that happens, our parents won''t have to work so hard."


    When she heard that her son was going to take them to Shanglin City to live and that he had even found a job in the capital, Fang Hun felt as if she was in a dream.


    Everything seemed extremely surreal.


    "Uuu, it looks like Old Wu''s son is doing well. The capital is arge-scale base city. It''s many times better than our Lin Chang."<sub> </sub>


    "I have a distant rtive, whose son works in the capital. He earns £¤6,000 to £¤7,000 a month just repairing appliances. That ce is as good as heaven. Ordinary people like us will never be able to go there in our lifetime."


    "That''s right. Besides, Old Wu''s son is a cksmith. If he goes to the capital, won''t he be able to earn £¤20,000 a month? He''s going to be rich."


    Everyone was shocked by Wu Mo''s words, and they started to talk among themselves.


    However, the vige chief who was standing at the side shook his head, as though he was a little disappointed.


    "Child, this isn''t funny. The Research Department in the capital is equivalent to a ce like the General Assembly Hall. It''s full of the country''s senior leaders. How can people with ordinary backgrounds like us go there?" the old vige chief tapped his cane and said in disbelief.


    Old Wu had been standing at the side in silence, but he instantly widened his eyes when he saw what happened.


    He stared at Wu Mo and said with a flushed face, "Stinky brat, did you get expelled from the academy in Shanglin City? Now, you''re making stories up to deceive me. I''ll..."


    Old Wu could not hold it in anymore. He was ready to rush up to his son, whom he had not seen for a long time, and teach him a lesson.


    The surrounding vigers were also skeptical. They had been watching TVtely. The daily news clearly said that the employment situation was grim this year, but the Wu family''s son just said that he was going to work in Beijing. It was indeed hard to believe.


    Seeing that the number of people surrounding them was growing and that his father was showing signs ofying hands on him, Wu Mo could not straighten things out.


    His old man was rambling on and on, turning the show of his return to their vige into arge-scale social death. Wu Mo was having a really hard time!


    Just as the crowd became boisterous, the sound of a horn suddenly rang out from afar.


    Old Wu''s raised hand paused for a moment. He noticed that on the dirt road not far away, a ck car was driving in their direction!


    The vigers had never seen a car in such a godforsaken ce before. They were instantly drawn to it.


    At that moment, even the vige chief, who was holding a walking stick, could not help but take a few more nces.


    The ck SUV stopped at the open space in front of the vige entrance. The car door was opened, and a middle-aged man wearing an official uniform walked out.


    Right then, the vige chief''s sharp eyes noticed that a badge the color of a pine branch hung on the shoulder of the middle-aged man''s military green uniform. There were two golden wheat ears and two golden stars on it.


    After he spotted those details, the old vige chief''s hair stood on end, and his face turned pale with horror.


    Oh, my God... Yes, a high-ranking official from Lin Chang satellite city had arrived!


    The vige chief''s hands were trembling in fear, and he hurriedly went up to the middle-aged man with his cane to wee him. He was supposed to have some problems with his legs, but at that moment, he was pretty much flying!


    The vige chief''s soul almost flew out of his body, especially when he saw the middle-aged man''s face clearly.


    As the vige chief, he naturally paid attention to national affairs. Moreover, because his family was rtively wealthy, he often watched the news on his television.


    At that moment, the vige chief realized that the person in front of him was General Shao Yuan. The vige chief had been invited to participate in a strategy meeting in Lin Chang satellite cityst year, and the general had spoken on stage!


    Back then, General Shao Yuan had told everyone that he was fortunate enough to participate in efforts to alleviate national poverty. That one time was enough for the vige chief to imprint the general''s face into his mind because General Shao Yuan was the biggest official in the meeting!


    Witnessing General Shao Yuan drive over to the vige, the chief could not help but wonder just how big of an event had happened to rm such a big shot!


    At that moment, the big shot from Lin Chang satellite city got out of the car and immediately walked in his direction. So, the vige chief hurried over to wee him.


    "General Shao, the wind actually blew you here. As the vige chief of Changkang Vige, I didn''t know that you would be visiting us. It''s a real pity that I didn''t wee you earlier on."

 Chapter 108 He Prepares To Leave Right After Settling Down With His Family

    He quickly bowed and saluted the general. When he discovered that there were two five-star cultivators following General Shao, he lowered his head even more. He was afraid that he had done something wrong and angered the other party.


    Unexpectedly, General Shao Yuan would not even open his eyes to look at him. He actually walked straight toward Wu Mo.


    That gave the old vige chief a great shock. Had that kid from the Wu familymitted some crime?


    Right then, the many vigers who had gathered together on the open ground were also staring at each other with their eyes wide open. One by one, they retreated a little.


    "May I ask if you are Mayor Zhao''s friend, Mr. Wu?"


    General Shao Yuan went up to Wu Mo and spoke with a respectful expression.


    The vige chief secretly turned his head to observe. When he saw that General Shao Yuan was being so respectful toward Wu Mo, his eyes were on stalks. His expression was one of disbelief.


    "I am."


    Wu Mo turned around, nced at the badge on the man''s shoulder, and answered in a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing.


    On the morning train, the mayor had told Wu Mo that he would arrange for people to bring Wu Mo''s family to Shanglin City and that he would help them settle properly.


    Therefore, Wu Mo had known about this from earlier on, and he was not surprised at all.


    "In the future, I''ll have to trouble you to take care of my family!"


    Shao Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile, "Mr. Wu, there''s no need to be so polite. The mayor has instructed it, so we will definitely take good care of your family."


    He spoke in a humble tone, without any airs of a general at all.


    After all, Mr. Wu was a talent that the mayor had specifically asked to bring in, so they did not dare be negligent in the slightest.


    To ordinary people, he was a general with a high position and power, but before the mayor, he was just a casual messenger.


    "Gasp!"


    Seeing how easily Wu Mo talked to the general, the surrounding vigers were shocked beyond words.


    Many young people, in particr, confirmed something after seeing Wu Mo''s face.


    "Hey... don''t you think that Old Wu''s son resembles the honorary student in Shanglin City from a few days ago?"


    "Honorary student? Is he that god of learning who obtained a perfect score? That person''s very famous. Even now, many people are still talking about him online. He has fans!"


    "It''s true. He looks exactly the same. I thought that he looked a little familiar a moment ago. I didn''t expect him to be from our Changkang Vige!"


    "The media even interviewed him the other day. A bunch of famouspanies almost broke their heads trying to recruit him. In the end, it was a researcher from the capital who gave him an offer letter!"


    "He''s an amazing person! He''s gone from a small mountain vige to the capital. This is someone''s child!"


    Everyone could not believe their ears.


    At that moment, Fang Hun and old Wupletely epted the truth of the scene before them. They were all extremely excited. They never thought that a simple person like them would actually raise such an outstanding son.


    Looking at her son''s current results, Fang Hun''s face was filled with gratification. The tears that she had just held back flowed out once again.


    His younger sister, Wu Yan, was also extremely happy. She had always wanted to be like her brother and be a powerful cksmith. Unfortunately, during the uniform test at the age of twelve, she did not meet the standards and could only be an ordinary student.


    Now that she could go to Shanglin City to study, she was looking forward to it in her heart. Furthermore, she was filled with admiration for her brother for being able to go to the capital!


    She thought that one day, she would be able to achieve such aplishments and protect her parents and brother!


    Right then, the vige chief got up shakily and quickly walked to Wu Mo. "Mr. Wu, I''m truly sorry. This old man shouldn''t have said too much and doubted your strength. Please, on ount of my advanced age, spare this useless old man," he said in a trembling voice.


    Wu Mo felt somewhat helpless and immediately helped the vige chief up. "Chief, what do you mean? I''ve never been angry with you. Please get up."<sub> </sub>


    Seeing that Wu Mo really did not mind, the vige chief retreated to the side with a relieved expression


    "Mr. Wu, I heard that you''re going to the capital today. If you don''t mind, my driver will take you to the airport."


    Shao Yuan had a gentle smile on his face as he spoke in a low voice.


    Wu Mo wanted to reject him because Mr. Zhou had already told him that he woulde and pick him up when he left Shanglin City.


    Moreover, he did not want to trouble others to owe them a favor.


    However, just as he was about to reject him, the buzzing sound of an engine suddenly appeared in the sky not far away.


    Many of the vigers subconsciously raised their heads to look. At that moment, they saw a gray helicopter, with the words "05 Artifact Research Department" printed on its wings, flying over.


    The huge airflow caused the weeds by the roadside to bend over.


    The moment they saw the helicopter, all of the vigers felt their scalps go numb.


    They had never seen an off-road vehicle in most of their lives, let alone a helicopter like that.


    All of them were dumbstruck.


    When the old vige chiefid eyes on it, his hands, which were on his cane, began to shake. He could not help but think, ''They actually sent a military helicopter over after the Wu family''s brat received that big shot''s appreciation. He''s simply a god descending to the mortal world!''


    Shao Yuan, who had just opened his mouth to offer Wu Mo a ride to the airport, also began to look at Wu Mo with more respect.


    At that moment, the helicopter came to a stop on the ground. Zhou Jinlong and a group of high-level cultivators alighted from the helicopter. Wu Mo dragged his luggage and walked toward Zhou Jinlong.


    Fang Hun, old Wu, and Yan Yan immediately followed.


    "Wu Mo, how are your preparations? We''re going to report to the capital tonight," Zhou Jinlong looked at Wu Mo and said with a smile.


    Wu Mo nodded and said, "Mr. Zhou, I''m already prepared. I can report to the Research Department at any time."


    "Okay!"


    He patted Wu Mo on the shoulder and set his eyes on the three people behind the boy.


    "Mr. Zhou, this is my family. They''ve been briefed, and they''re ready to go to Shanglin City."


    Wu Mo quickly introduced them.


    Fang Hun looked at the soldiers behind the man, who were armed to the teeth, and she felt a little scared. However, she still forced a smile and said, "Sir, I''ll have to trouble you with my son in the future."


    Looking at the huge helicopter, old Wu sighed in his heart and said, "Sir, my son is really smart. He can learn everything at once."


    At this time, Yan Yan was a little fearful. She hugged her mother''s thigh and secretly looked at the bespectacled man in front of her.


    Zhou Jinlongughed and said, "Don''t worry, Sir and Ma''am. Your son will definitely undergo better development when hees to the capital. Once he gets used to things in the Research Department, I''ll give him a few days off to apany you. Alright, it''s gettingte. Wu Mo, we should go!"


    He waved his hand, and the smile on his face was rather bright and cheerful.


    It waspletely different from the cold and indifferent appearance he had when he was testing everyone in the auditorium.


    Even he could not quite exin the change in his own attitude. Perhaps it was because he truly acknowledged Wu Mo as his student!


    As they were about to part, Wu Mo turned around and hugged his parents. Old Wu was not used to it, and he looked slightly embarrassed.


    Fang Hun instructed him in a low voice, "Listen to your instructor when you get there. Don''t work toote and take care of your health."


    There was no need to worry about his home. Both his parents were fine.

 Chapter 109 Helicopter From The Research Department

    Yan Yan tugged at her brother''s sleeve, looking a little reluctant to part with him.


    A momentter, Wu Mo waved goodbye to his family.


    They boarded the gray helicopter as all the vigers, the vige chief, and Wu Mo''s family members looked on.


    "Dad, Mom... We''ll see you in Shanglin Cityter!" Wu Mo said with a smile, tears once again overflowing from the corners of his eyes.


    Below, the figures of his parents became smaller and smaller before theypletely disappeared.


    Feeling the refreshing wind in the forest, Wu Mo heaved a sigh of relief and sat back in his seat.


    "You''re already so old. Don''t cry."


    Zhou Jinlong, who was sitting at the side, handed him a piece of paper and spoke with a smile.


    Wu Mo calmed his emotions once again and felt relieved. "Seeing my parents is always exciting. I believe you must have experienced something simr back then, Mr. Zhou."


    "I understand, but the one who''s raised me since I was young has always been my mother. She''s as strong as all the other mothers in the world."


    Zhou Jinlong smiled and said something about himself with a rxed expression.


    Meanwhile, the cultivators sitting in the back row looked at each other in dismay. They had followed Mr. Zhou for several years, but they had never heard him tell them such things.


    The helicopter rode the wind and broke the waves, flying at a constant speed in the air.


    Wu Mo and Mr. Zhou chatted along the way. Near noon, they even ate an "air force" lunch.


    Changkang Vige was located on one corner of Lin Chang satellite city''s map and was more than 1000 kilometers away from Jingdu. Even with the official helicopter, it took nearly six hours of travel.


    Over these six hours, Wu Mo and Mr. Zhou chatted a lot, and the two of them became more familiar with each other than before.


    At five o''clock in the evening, the helicopter finally entered the capital''s range.


    Meanwhile, the sky was gradually getting dark.


    In the distant sky, the dim yellow sun was falling at a constant speed. The buzzing sound of the engine rang in Wu Mo''s ears without end. He looked at the high sky outside the window and gazed at the endless sea of trees below, feeling somewhat emotional.


    He had transformed from a dejected youth to his present self. He was a genius filled with dazzling light, and only he himself could understand the hardships he had experienced.


    Now that his parents and sister would be properly settled, he would feel more at ease and be able to throw himself into forging as much as he wanted.


    "Mr. Zhou, we''ve already entered the airspace above Jingdu base city. We will arrive at the fifth Artifact Research Department in about ten minutes."


    Just then, a young pilot in his 30s spoke from the cockpit of the helicopter.


    Zhou Jinlong nodded. He immediately took out his phone and prepared to make a call. He wanted the Research Department to make preparations to receive him.


    At that moment, Wu Mo was somewhat tense.


    He had never been to an unfamiliar ce before. A Research Department that was on the General Assembly''s level, as well as a working environment where everyone was akin to dragons, caused him to feel quite a bit of pressure.


    Nevertheless, as the saying went, when there was pressure, there was motivation.


    Wu Mo was somewhat impatient. He really wanted to disy his strength in his field and contribute to the country.


    It was 5.30 pm.


    Looking down from the helicopter, he could already see the outline of the entire base city clearly.


    Jingdu was a standard base city, covering an area of nearly 20,000 kilometers.


    The current poption area was divided into three administrative divisions.<sub> </sub>


    For example, Changkang Vige, where he was previously, and the surrounding bridge town belonged to the rural area.


    As for Lin Chang and Shanglin City, they were satellite cities that could amodate several hundred thousand people.


    All the facilities in the satellite cities wereplete, and there was also the official strategic deployment army.


    However,pared with the base cities, their economic development was still several times behind.


    The strongest in those satellite cities were only six-star cksmiths or six-star cultivators.


    As for seven-star and even stronger masters or experts, they were all gathered in the base city.That was the only space suitable for their development.


    While flying in the air, Wu Mo could vaguely see through the helicopter''s window a shield that had a protective effect. The light shield was like an upside-down bowl, epassing the entire city.


    It did not take long for the helicopter to enter the protective shield''s domain. After flying for a few minutes, they finally arrived at their destination.


    Looking down from the sky, the streets at the center of Jingdu base city were shing with colorful neon lights.


    Seven or eight tall buildings with dozens of floors stood tall. A wide river separated them, and the bridges crossing the river interweaved with each other.


    The fifth Research Department was located in thismercial area where every inch ofnd was expensive.


    It upied an area of tens of thousands of square meters, which was different from the dense office buildings around it.


    There were few buildings in the Research Department, and vegetation covered more than 60% of its grounds. The Research Department with all kinds of high-tech was orderly, and the entire row on the right was full of researchers'' rest houses.


    In the middle of the entire Research Department, there was a spacious six-story building. On top of the building, there was a long runway and a strategic deployment area. A few tanks could be vaguely seen around it. It felt very safe.


    "Zi Zi... This is the tower. Helicopter 0537 hasnded on the second runway. I repeat..."


    At this moment, in the cockpit, the pilots weremunicating with the Research Department''s tower. Very quickly, they descended to a height of more than ten meters.


    Then, they sessfully stopped on the runway.


    "Let''s go. I''ll take you over to report to the department while it''s still early."


    Zhou Jinlong got up and got off the ne. Wu Mo tidied his clothes and followed him with some excitement.


    The two of them took the elevator down to the first floor. With Zhou Jinlong around, all the checkpoints were unimpeded. Wu Mo was not questioned the entire time.


    "The working environment here is not bad. You only need to work six hours a day. Of course, if you can work overtime on certain days, you can also leave work early," Zhou Jinlong said as he walked with the documents in his hands.


    As Wu Mo walked on the asphalt road, he looked at the surrounding scenery and could not take his eyes off it.


    The entire Research Department''s design was very simple and beautiful. The scenery on the road was beautiful, and all kinds of flowers, as well as nts that could not be named, were fighting with each other.


    Under the sunset''s glow, the rockery, esctor, pavilion, and flower field were all covered with ayer of gold. Not only did it rx people''s minds, but it also added to their enjoyment while they were on the road.


    Smelling the fragrance of the grass in the air and listening to the birds chirping on the treetops made the beautiful scene intoxicating.


    It was not inferior to the auditorium that they had been to before.


    "How is it? The environment here is not bad, right? Come and take a look after work. The tiredness of the day has disappeared."


    Zhou Jinlong noticed that Wu Mo was a little lost in his thoughts, so he immediately smiled and introduced the ce.


    "It''s fine... It''s no surprise that you''re still not used to it since I just arrived. It''ll be fine after a long time. Our fifth branch not only has many low-key master cksmiths but also rare books that you''ve never heard of.


    "Our branch mainly studies various types of light military equipment for individual soldiers. You''ll slowly understand this ce after you report."

 Chapter 110 Fifth Research Department, Registration!

    Wu Mo nodded. He now roughly understood the fifth division''syout and ssification.


    Previously, Mr. Zhou had talked about light-duty individual equipment.


    To put it simply, they consisted of cold weapons and light-duty battle armor. Such battle armor sacrificed part of its defensive capabilities to obtain greater flexibility and offensive capabilities.


    Usually, it was cultivators on the front lines who needed them the most.


    It was just that the fifth division was currently facing an awkward problem. The forging technology for light equipment was already very mature in all aspects. They had already found a bnce between the forging cost and the performance of the light armor they produced.


    The equipment produced in the past few years covered all of those types and had basically reached an unresearched stage.


    Since the representative products that could be assembled on arge scale had not been produced in the past two years, the fifth branch had been gradually marginalized.


    Compared with the other branches it was not just a little bit inferior.


    Although the fifth branch had forged many excellent Divine weapons, as well as armor, in the past and had once been at its peak, those were achievements of the past.


    That did not change the fact that the fifth division was past its glory days.


    "We''re almost there."


    Mr. Zhou pointed at an eight-story research building not far away.


    Wu Mo raised his head to look, and when he saw the scene before him, his pupils constricted. He was instantly shocked.


    The research building was eight stories tall, and it resembled a miniature spiral tower.


    The decorations and windows on the outside of the building seemed distorted, giving off a surreal feeling.


    As he got a closer view, he noticed that the eight-story research building seemed to be rotating slightly. That made it impossible for people to see the situation inside.


    "This is just a Secret-protection Array. The facilities inside are all normal."


    After Mr. Zhou finished his introduction, he took the lead and walked in.


    The array outside distorted a little. In the next second, Zhou Jinlong was "trapped" inside, and hepletely disappeared from Wu Mo''s sight.


    "Distorted light... interesting."


    Wu Mo raised his eyebrows and showed great interest.


    He slowly stretched out his hand. He felt as if he had touched something, but he could not see what his finger touched in front of him.


    Seeing this scene, he was a little curious and immediately walked up.


    Bo''er...


    A strange sound rang out, and the next thing Wu Mo knew, he had entered the array.


    He was now standing in an empty space in front of the Research Department''s building.


    He then pushed open the imposing, ck titanium-drawn ss door. The Research Department''s hall was filled with people, and the sounds of discussion among the many researchers immediately entered his ears.


    Wu Mo followed Mr. Zhou from behind, and the two of them took the elevator to the seventh floor.


    The Research Department''s work area was bigger than the office buildings of famouspanies. Not only was everyone equipped with a professional forging room, but there was also a special testing area and various essories for the researchers to test the properties and effects of equipment that had just been forged.


    The entire office area on the seventh floor was bright and beautiful. On top of that, there was a resting area where they could exercise and rx.<sub> </sub>


    With these conditions, one could say that itpletely surpassed thosepanies that imed to be enterprises!


    Wu Mo walked toward the corridor as he looked at the smooth ss on both sides and the scenery below. He had only taken a few steps when he saw a few researchers wearingb coats and an academician wearing a uniform and epaulets walking out.


    Seeing this, Zhou Jinlong immediately walked up to them and introduced Wu Mo a face full of joy. "Sir, this student is Wu Mo, the one I told you about before. I''ve brought him here to report for duty!"


    Wu Mo promptly stepped forward and introduced himself with a straight face as well.


    "Hello, Seniors. I''m a student from Shanglin City''s Divine Arms Academy. My name is Wu Mo. I''m here to report to the Research Department today. If there is anything that I don''t understand in the future, I hope that I can consult you, Seniors!"


    The few researchers swept their gaze over Wu Mo, and their expressions were filled with bewilderment and shock.


    They had worked in the fifth division for seven to eight years, but they had never seen such a young cksmith report to the department. Could it be that his strength had already reached the level of a five-star cksmith?


    With questions in their minds, they listened to him patiently.


    "Haha, Wu Mo... He really lives up to his name. He has the air of a schr. Come and wee him. Little Zhou, help me register his information for the report. We''ll have a chat with Wu Mo."


    Xu Wuyue smiled and nodded. Then, he immediately brought Wu Mo to the office area.


    The office area was filled with many professional equipment and a conference room for discussion.


    There was a circle of beige leather couches in the middle that could seat more than a dozen people.


    Wu Mo nodded politely and sat down with ease.


    Many of the middle-aged researchers who had achievements in different fields looked at Wu Mo with admiration.


    They had been in the Research Department for more than 10 years, and the youngest among them was a 28-year-old professor.


    In all their years, they had never seen such a young cksmith.


    As the researchers gazed at him, Wu Mo felt a little ufortable. He looked at Zhou Jinlong, who was standing not far away. At that moment, Zhou Jinlong was sitting in front of the table with his head lowered, beginning to register his information.


    "From today onward, you are a member of the fifth Research Department. Your temporary position is as an assistant researcher. Your won''t be too busy with your usual work, and I''ll give you enough time to study."


    Wu Mo''s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately sat up straight. "Thank you for your recognition. I''ll definitely work hard to create value in my future work."


    Seeing Wu Mo''s expression, which looked like he was about to carry out a military order, Xu Wuyue cheerfully said, "I heard from Little Zhou that you''re very fond of the knowledge in the field of casting arrays. Now that you''re here, don''t be reserved. You can freely read the notebooks in the internal reference room. If there''s anything you don''t understand, feel free to ask me or Little Zhou."


    As soon as Xu Wuyue finished speaking, the researchers who were sitting around them all revealed surprised gazes. They did not know how capable Wu Mo was to have such a high level of security clearance after entering the Research Department.


    Generally speaking, cksmiths who were qualified to join the Research Department had to work for at least half a year before they were qualified to enter the internal reference room.


    This was because the internal reference room was considered a ce that required a high level of authority in the entire Research Department. At the same time, since it contained arge amount of knowledge and notes, as well as rted books by master cksmiths, ordinary people were not allowed to enter.


    Unless one obtained their superior''s permission, one would not be able to enter the internal reference room.


    Thinking of this, everyone could not help but sigh in their hearts.


    It seemed that Academician Xu had high hopes for this student, Wu Mo.


    Everyone nodded slightly. Right then, Zhou Jinlong had already registered Wu Mo''s information and stored it in the information management file.


    "Alright, now that your registration has beenpleted, you should go back and rest early. After all, the journey was quite tiring. As for work, you should wait until tomorrow and adjust before you start!" Xu Wuyue stood up and said with a gentle gaze.

 Chapter 111 Arranging Things For Wu Mo

    Wu Mo had an expectant look on his face. He stood up and thanked him, after which he took his luggage and walked downstairs.


    He took the elevator and arrived at the Research Department''s hall.


    Then, he stepped out of the array, which could deflect light and iste sound.


    Wu Mo walked on the road and headed straight for the dormitory located in the southeast.


    ...


    Meanwhile, on the seventh floor of the research building, many researchers had left.


    Zhou Jinlong carried the documents to the Information Department, and Xu Wuyue took a look at the time.


    He walked quickly to his office, but just as he pushed the door open, he found his daughter, Xu Wanqing, sitting on the couch waiting for him.


    "That was quick. Has the new research assistant registered already?" Xu Wanqing sat up on the couch and asked curiously.


    Wu Yue ced his documents on theputer table first. Then he sat on the couch as well and softly said, "Yes, he has. I asked him to go back first since he rushed over from Shanglin City. The journey''s over 1000 kilometers. He must be tired after such a long ride. Work can be arranged tomorrow."


    "Yes." Xu Wanqing nodded.


    However, she frowned slightly right after and spoke through gritted teeth. "Father, that assistant called Wu Mo is the top scorer in Shanglin City. What kind of work will you arrange for him tomorrow?"


    Looking at his daughter who was a little entric, he noticed that she her curiosity had been piqued again. Xu Wuyue smiled helplessly and said, "Have you finished the research that I asked you to do? Your father just came back, but you''re already asking all kinds of questions?"


    Xu Wuyue felt a headacheing on as he observed his daughter''s interested expression.


    This daughter of his was good in every way. She was as beautiful and elegant as her mother. Furthermore, she was extremely intelligent and a fast learner.


    She had graduated from Qingnan Academy, which was known as the Ivory Tower, at just 18 years old. Moreover, she had obtained close to full marks. Her ability toprehend forging knowledge was even better than his when he was young.


    His daughter, Xu Wanqing, had fulfilled the Research Department''s recruitment criteria on her own and became one of his many assistants.


    During the whole recruitment process, she never used any personal pull.


    Such a beautiful and talented daughter was his pride.


    However, she was too curious, which was the only bad thing about her. It was especially so when she saw that a graduate of her age had appeared in the Research Department. She could not help but want to ask around.


    "Father... I just graduated from Qingnan Academy in the capitalst week. When I came back, you arranged a job for me straight away. Can''t I rest for a while?" Xu Wanqing hugged her father''s neck and said coquettishly.


    "Enough, enough. I really can''t win against you," Xu Wuyue said helplessly. He turned his head and looked at his daughter who was behaving like a curious baby.


    Her big, watery eyes were filled with anticipation as he looked at her.


    "Sigh..."


    "Actually, I haven''t thought about the specific job that I''m going to assign to Wu Mo. Although he''s the only graduate in Shanglin City who obtained a perfect score in his assessment, the forging equipment there is quite different from the military equipment that the Research Department provides to the government. I''m worried that he won''t be able to adapt for the time being."


    Xu Wuyue gently tapped his fingers on the coffee table as he pondered.


    His vague and uncertain answer did not satisfy his daughter, Xu Wanqing.


    "Father, you don''t have to worry about these problems. Since he was able to be the only candidate who got full marks in the history of Shanglin City''s Divine Arms Academy, he''ll undoubtedly adapt to the pace here soon enough."<sub> </sub>


    "Besides, his strength isn''t inferior to mine. I watched Wu Mo''s graduation design and the entire assessment process several times. His ability to adapt to changes and his forging skills have already reached the level of a researcher."


    Xu Wanqing continued to speak. "The hammer that Wu Mo forged is excellent in both control as well as offensive and defensive abilities. It can even hold rank in the entire Research Department''s top 20 equipment! I really admire his skills."


    Speaking of which, Xu Wanqing held her father''s hand and said in a pleading tone, "Father, you''re good at utilizing people. You should know Wu Mo''s strength. Otherwise, you wouldn''t have made an exception to recruit him into the Research Department. So, please give him a good project so that he can stimte his potential here!"


    Xu Wanqing''s face was serious.


    Her words were clear and logical.


    However, Xu Wuyue sighed after he heard them.


    "Daughter, I know what you''re thinking. Actually, I admire that student, Wu Mo, too. His character and abilities can''t be weak for him to develop to such an extent in a small satellite city."


    At this point, he crossed his hands under his chin with a slight frown and said, "But yesterday, when Little Zhou went to send him the offer letter, our higher-ups have already exined that Wu Mo can''t participate in the current main project for the time being...


    "Because many projects involve important secrets of the state, as well as information about the invasion of several thousand races outside the city. They contain the secrets of the entire human race. We can''t let a student who has just entered the Research Department participate so easily."


    Hearing this, Xu Wanqing appeared a little disappointed.


    "After all, our Research Department is an important institution of the state. Every Research Department''s political background cannot have any ws. I hope you understand. Your father has no choice either."


    Xu Wuyue stood up and looked out the window through the one-way ss in his office.


    "After he passes the political background check, it will be much easier for him to participate in major projects."


    As he said that, his started to be nk.


    At present, the battle between humans and a myriad of races was still ongoing. On the battlefield outside the city, people were constantly dying.


    Therefore, they urgently needed more powerful sets of equipment and weapons.


    The nine Research Departments in the country shared such an important task, so they had to be careful and not allow any sand to fall into the cracks.


    "Father, I know you''re in a tough spot, but even if you don''t let Wu Mo participate in the important projects, you can''t let such a talent stay idle. He''s a student who directly forged a Divine weapon. Wasting time in the Research Department is too much of a waste of talent."


    At she mentioned this, Xu Wanqing suddenly remembered something.


    "Oh, right, Father, I heard that the Research Department has been improving the tenth-generation standardbat suit recently."


    Xu Wanqing stood up, and her eyes immediately light up.


    Xu Wuyue seemed slightly taken aback. He did not know what his daughter was nning.


    Nevertheless, he still nodded and replied, "That''s right. More and more powerful foreign races have appeared on the battlefield of ten thousand races. Although the tenth-generationbat suit is light and defensive, it''s somewhat unable to deal with the increasinglyplicated battle situation. The higher-ups have given this task to our fifth Research Department, hoping to develop an eleventh-generationbat suit within three months."


    At this point, he turned to look at his daughter. "But this was from a month ago. Why are you bringing it up now?"


    Xu Wuyue looked at his daughter with a doting gaze.


    "I''m bringing it up because I think this research project is quite suitable for Wu Mo."


    Xu Wanqing ced her hands behind her back and jumped slightly.

 Chapter 112 Project Assistant, B-Level Commission!

    "Anyway, the standardbat suit is a fully-developed product. The first version appeared more than 10 years ago, and it didn''t have any important core technology. It just had a regr upgrade with some additional functions."


    Thinking of it, a smile appeared on Xu Wanqing''s face.


    "Anyway, I remember there being many research groups developing the eleventh-generation battle suit to catch up with the schedule. It wouldn''t matter even if Wu Mo was added, right?!"


    Looking at his daughter''s sparkling eyes and expectant gaze, Xu Wuyue shook his head with a bitter smile. "You child. Are you so afraid that Wu Mo will be idle? The higher-ups have very high requirements for the eleventh-generation standardbat suit. Not only does it have to provide easy concealment, but it also requires multi-functional battle modules."


    When Xu Wuyue spoke about it, he appeared slightly worried.


    "The forging and design of such a multi-functionalbat suit is challenges a cksmith''s foundation and design ability greatly. Forget a research assistant like Wu Mo who just arrived, even those veteran researchers would find it very difficult to develop it in a short period of time.


    "Wu Mo has only started, and he''s also almost a month behind the other teams. I''m afraid that if this fails, it will affect the kid''s confidence."


    As soon as Xu Wuyue finished speaking, Xu Wanqing, who was standing at the side, had already sat down at theputer desk. She turned on theputer skillfully and pulled out the design list that her superior had issued a month ago.


    Reading the string of basic values and the requirements for improvement, even Xu Wanqing herself felt her scalp go slightly numb.


    "Hmm, although it''s a little difficult, I believe that Wu Mo should be able to do it. After all, he''s someone who has forged a Divine artifact."


    Seeing that his daughter was being stubborn, Xu Wuyue could only agree.


    "Alright, let''s just treat this project as a practice for Wu Mo. Even if it fails, it won''t matter."


    Following a few seconds of thought, Xu Wuyue decided to agree to his daughter''s request and test Wu Mo''s adaptability.


    "Hehe, I knew that my father''s the most open-minded person. Actually, I''m doing this just to see his strength and see if he''s better than me in the field of forging."


    Xu Wanqing''s vermillion lips parted slightly as she spoke with a mischievous expression.


    ...


    At that moment, Wu Mo, who was walking on the road, did not expect that in just ten minutes, someone from the Research Department had already dug a hole for him.


    <o>,m After walking for about seven to eight minutes, Wu Mo passed by several research buildings. He brushed past the lush shrubs and nts by the path before finally arriving at the dormitories.</o>


    However, when Wu Mo saw the dormitory in front of him, he immediately wanted to ridicule it.


    Rather than calling this a dormitory area, it would be more urate to say it was an independent small vi.


    The vi was surrounded by greenery, rocks, and flowing water. There was also a spacious courtyard attached to it. With such high-standard configurations, Wu Mo did not expect the vi to actually be used as research dormitories.


    The vi''s yard door was tightly shut, but there was a facial recognition machine ced on the side. Wu Mo only nced at it before the yard door carved with auspicious clouds automatically opened.


    The small yard covered an area of about 40 square meters. There were flowers and nts on both sides, along with signs of maintenance.


    After Wu Mo went up three stone steps, he pushed the door open with his luggage and walked into the hall.


    The entire hall was clean and tidy, as well as magnificent and bright, while its the decoration leaned toward the Chinese style.


    In addition, the marble floor with elegant patterns reflected the light above his head. The wind shook the chandelier slightly, and the wind chimes by the door were also gently moved by the inertia, creating a pleasant sound.


    It was a two-story vi with an overall area was about 150 square meters. All kinds of furniture were avable. There was a gray leather couch in the hall, and the dining table next to it was simple and high-ss. It was not inferior to what one might see in five-star hotels.<sub> </sub>


    The kitchen had a range hood, a stove with two burners, a refrigerator, and a microwave oven, whereas the bathroom was separated into three sections: the wet area, the dry area, and a separate shower.


    Its specifications were full, and it was even better than what Mr. Zhou had promised him.


    Wu Mo only took a few nces before he went to the bedroom. He pushed the door open, walked in, andter hung the clothes in his suitcase in the cupboard.


    Although the vi he was assigned to was in great condition, Wu Mo did not really care. In his opinion, having a warm andfortable little home was enough.


    He was, instead, looking forward to visiting the Research Department''s internal reference room to study and read the master cksmiths'' notes, as well as rted books.


    The day before yesterday, he had exchanged his points for a book rted to arrays in the system, but there had not been a lot of time for him to read it in the past two days.


    While he had a lot of time on the helicopter to the capital, he did not dare disy the book in front of others because there were many cultivators and his instructor, Zhou Jinlong.


    After all, he had spent 1000 points to obtain that book. It should be very rare in reality.


    He took out all the things in his suitcase and ced the sundries on the table.


    Once that was done, he was ready to return to the Research Department.


    Even though Academician Xu had told him to rest for the day and start work tomorrow, Wu Mo still felt that he should familiarize himself with the ce and avoid making low-level mistakes in tomorrow''s work.


    With that in mind, he put on his coat and walked out the door.


    As he walked down the steps, he came to the lush courtyard.


    When he raised his head, he saw a ck business car parked outside the door.


    Wu Mo looked a little puzzled. He then opened the door and made his way out of the courtyard, entering the open space in front of the vi. At that moment, someone opened the car''s door.


    A 1.7-meter-tall girl walked out from within. She was a 90, looks wise.


    The girl was around 25 years old. She was wearing a slim-fit office suit, and her silky ck hair fell over her shoulders. Her facial features were distinct, and her bright eyes had a hint of charm.


    She was holding a folder with a blue cover in her hand as she walked over quickly in turquoise high heels.


    "Hello, are you Wu Mo, the new research assistant today?" the girl nodded slightly at Wu Mo and asked politely.


    "Yes, you are?"


    Wu Mo was a little suspicious. It was his first day there. Aside from Academician Xu and Mr. Zhou, how could anyone else in the Research Department know him?


    "Hello, my name is Luo Ning. I''m your project assistant. Academician Xu has just arranged a project for you. I''ll go to the information office with you to get the details. The project number is B-3981," Luo Ning said seriously as she held out the folder.


    Wu Mo epted the folder and opened it.


    He found a copy of the project request form within. The lower right corner of the request form also had the Strategic Deployment Agency''s seal.


    Since the front lines on the battlefield of ten thousand races was tight, and the oldbat suits could not cope with theplicated and difficult situation, the Strategic Deployment Agency decided to carry out aprehensive overhaul of the ninth-generationbat suit.


    The fifth Research Department was requested to attach importance to the order and face the difficulties head-on so that the new tenth-generationbat suits could be developed within three months.

 Chapter 113 System Deduction Function Activated, Improved Battle Armor!

    Mission Requirements: The tenth-generationbat suit must be lighter, breathable, and have a more flexible multi-functional battle module than the ninth-generation battle armor.


    Key points: The tenth-generationbat suit must have a stronger concealment effect than the ninth-generation battle suit. While achieving multi-functions, it must also slightly upgrade its defense and offensive capabilities.


    The current battle situation was tense. The National Artifact Research Department at the rear had to hurry up.


    The request had passed the examination. Emergency status: Urgent.


    Approved by: The Director of the Strategic Deployment Agency , Li Su!


    After seeing the copy of the request, Wu Mo''s expression changed slightly.


    What the hell? How could something like this bepleted by someone who had just entered the research station?


    "Say, Ms. Zhou Ning..."


    Wu Mo raised his head, his expression full of astonishment.


    "Just call me Assistant Zhou. I am now the assistant on this project. As long as I can promote the progress of the project, you can order me around for anything."


    Zhou Ning spoke as usual, not noticing Wu Mo''s change in mood.


    "Hmm, Assistant Zhou, what I mean is, is it really okay to hand over such an importantmission to a neer like me?"


    Wu Mo frowned. Just from the words on themission alone, he could feel the tension on the front lines of the battlefield of ten thousand races.


    After understanding what Wu Mo was concerned about, Zhou Ning immediately exined.


    "Don''t worry. At present, this project is being jointly promoted by more than ten project teams. Not only are there experienced researchers in the project team, but there are also two academicians who are working together to ovee the difficulties."


    "Therefore, you are participating in this project together. I just want you to quickly blend in here in the Research Department and familiarize yourself with the various operations. I believe that Academician Xu, who gave you this task, probably has the same idea."


    Zhou Ning shrugged and exined patiently.


    Only after hearing this did Wu Mo heave a sigh of relief.


    D*mn it, just now he thought that he was really going to ept thismission alone. In this short while, his palms were so nervous that they were almost sweating.


    He didn''t expect that it was just for practice.


    Well... it seemed that Academician Xu should also know that he liked to explore knowledge and had a formal job on the first day of registration.


    Thinking of this, Wu Mo nodded. "Okay, then let''s go to the Information Department to get the materials now."


    Wu Mo was looking forward to it. Although this was only the first job for practice, he would still put in all his effort to do it to the best of his ability.


    Moreover, because there was a lot of information avable in the Research Department, this was also a great way to increase his strength.


    The corners of Zhou Ning''s mouth curled up into a smile. When she saw Wu Mo''s eager expression, she immediately reminded him kindly.


    "Hmm... Although what you have epted is only a routine project, the difficulty is not small. Currently, the difficulty of our fifth branch''smission is divided into seven levels, from the lowest F to the highest S."


    "The mission you''re epting now is B-level, so the difficulty isn''t low. Becausebat equipment has a long history, nine versions have already been developed by predecessors, and all the parts that need to be optimized have reached the standard."


    Speaking up to this point, Zhou Ning''s expression became serious. "Now, it can be said that it''s very difficult to optimize the already mature tenth-generation light armor, so please be prepared. Because many researchers and academicians have stayed upte for a long time withouting up with a general n for thismission... so even if you can''tplete it, there''s no need to lose information because of this," Zhou Ning said in aforting tone.


    In the beginning, Wu Mo was listening very seriously. By the time Zhou Ning was halfway through, he had already understood the status of the mission he had epted.


    When Zhou Ning was about to finish her sentence...


    A slightly ethereal voice suddenly sounded in his mind.


    [Ding... The host has epted the Research Department''s mission. The system has automatically activated the deduction function. Reading Project B-3981, automatically deducing the newbat uniform project. Estimated time: 5 seconds.]<sub> </sub>


    Wu Mo''s expression changed slightly. However, due to the fact that Zhou Ning was standing right in front of him, he immediately controlled his expression and remained unmoved.


    [Ding... The deduction of the newbat armor has beenpleted. The deduction results are as listed.


    [Deduction Result 1: Fluid Combat Armor (thisbat armor is light and stealthy, with excellent attack performance and slightly inferior defense)


    p [Deduction Result 2: Heavy Steel Cast Armor (thisbat armor has an excellent defense, strong concealment, and slightly inferior maneuverability)</anda>


    [Deduction Result 3: Invisibility Cloak (this armor has more bnced abilities, the best concealment, low casting cost, and can be produced inrge quantities)]


    After seeing the system interface floating in front of him, which had already listed out three results, Wu Mo immediately had an answer.


    ''I choose the third, the Invisibility Cloak.''


    Wu Mo silently chanted in his heart.


    The previous armor and cast armor were both partial in certain aspects, which might be suitable for certain special situations, but they were not suitable for the currentmission form.


    The third result provided by the system was exactly the same as the requirements on themission, and it could be cast inrge quantities. This was the best answer.


    The system''s new function perfectly solved the difficult problem in front of Wu Mo.


    [Selection sessful. The design concept of the Invisibility Cloak has been ced in the Divine-grade Forging Space. You can read it at any time.]


    After hearing the system''s notification, Wu Mo nodded slightly.


    At this moment, he did not have any concerns and immediately agreed.


    "No problem. Even if this project is only given to me to familiarize myself with the environment and work, I will still face it in my best condition!"


    Wu Mo revealed a confident smile, causing Zhou Ning to think that her eyes were ying tricks on her.


    She was the follow-up assistant for this project. When she handed out themissions to the previous researchers, everyone''s faces were a little nervous or helpless.


    Among all the staff who epted the projects, only Wu Mo showed a confident expression, which surprised her a little. was this really a student who had just arrived at the Research Department?


    Or perhaps, the other party was just deliberately showing a rxed expression in front of her.


    Zhou Ning didn''t know about this, but since Wu Mo had already agreed to ept this projectmission, she would take him to the Information Department to get themission documents ording to the work content.


    "Get in the car!"


    Zhou Ning waved her hand, and Wu Mo immediately sat in the passenger seat.


    "Do I still need to drive on such a short road?"


    Wu Mo asked subconsciously after fastening her seatbelt.


    "I can''t help it. Although the mission you epted isn''t very important, it''s still a confidential document of our country. We can''t afford to make any mistakes," Zhou Ning replied and immediately stepped on the elerator.


    In just a few minutes, the two of them arrived at the information department.


    The Information Department''s building had a total of six floors. Its appearance was the same as the Research Department''s building, and its grandeur was magnificent.


    In front of the building was a temple of heaven. On top of it was a carved gilded tiger. The multi-colored tiger''s front ws were prostrated, and its entire body was full of muscles. It seemed to be preparing to hunt. The entire statue was lifelike, at first nce, one might even think that it was real.


    This was the first time he had seen such an imposing statue.


    Walking into the Information Department''s building, Zhou Ning led the way, and they soon reached their destination on the third floor.

 Chapter 114 Ability Upgrade, Reward: Stealth Armor Blueprint!

    After exiting the elevator, he walked through the corridor and turned right into the information room.


    In the information room, a middle-aged man with sparse hair was sitting in front of a cab. The man''s sharp gaze swept across Wu Mo.


    "Are you here to collect the project?" he looked at Zhou Ning and asked with puzzlement.


    "Yes, please give me a copy of the attached information of themission from B-3981."


    Zhou Ning did not waste any time in doing things. He spoke swiftly and decisively.


    The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows slightly.


    "Is the front line of the Myriad n battlefield really that urgent? They actually want an assistant who has just joined our fifth Research Department to ept thismission..."


    He said with a surprised expression, but his hands were still fast. After opening the password cab, he immediately handed one of the printed documents to Zhou Ning.


    "This is Academician Xu''s idea, don''t keep guessing."


    Zhou Ning handed the documents to Wu Mo and then left the reference room.


    Wu Mo quickly followed, and the two of them walked along the corridor.


    "You have to keep this information well. A lot of information inside is the painstaking research results of arge number of researchers and academicians. It''s very precious, and nothing can go wrong!" Zhou Ning said this with a serious expression.


    Wu Mo, who was following behind, nodded. He flipped open a page, and just as he read a few lines, another notification appeared in his mind.


    [Congrattions, the host''s theoretical knowledge of forging has improved. You have reached the level of a five-star cksmith. Congrattions on obtaining an Epic equipment blueprint¡ªInvisibility Armor!]


    A golden light shed in Wu Mo''s eyes.


    He felt that his mind had suddenly be clearer. The phenomena and reasons that he had not been able to understand until now had all been unraveled.


    There were even many forging techniques that he had never experienced before.


    Feeling the rity at this moment, Wu Mo could not help but feel a hint of joy in his heart.


    It seemed that this trip to the Research Department was a very correct choice.


    If not for this incident, he might have broken through to five stars. It would have taken him at least a few months to break through.


    He subconsciously closed the materials and books in his hands, and then immediately put them into his Interspatial Ring.


    This was a good thing. If he could read it carefully and master all of it, he would definitely not be far from breaking through to 6-star.


    He turned his gaze and followed Zhou Ning into the elevator.


    p "How is it? After reading these materials, do you still have confidence in this mission?"</anda>


    Zhou Ning smirked and teased.


    She thought that Wu Mo was so confident before because he did not understand the project. Now that he had obtained all the information and the distress of the academicians.., he must have some understanding of his own strength by now.


    She turned her head to look at Wu Mo, wanting to see how this graduate student would react.


    At this time, she was surprised to find that the other party was in high spirits as if he already had a n in mind.


    "Don''t worry, Assistant Zhou. Since the organization has given me such an important task, I will definitelyplete it well and not let down everyone''s expectations of me."


    Hearing Wu Mo''s rather ambitious speech, Zhou Ning curled his lips.


    Alright, it could only be said that this graduate student was too idealistic. Many things would only be understood after he truly started.


    At that time, he should be aware of the difficulties involved.


    After all, even academicians and many senior researchers were not confident in doing their best for this elerated project.


    Soon, the two of them left the information department.<sub> </sub>


    At this time, Zhou Ning''s phone suddenly rang.


    "Academician Xu... I''ve finished the work that you arranged. Now we''re preparing to go to the Research Department building. Okay, let''s contact each other then."


    After hanging up the phone, Zhou Ning immediately opened the car door.


    Wu Mo skillfully sat in the passenger seat and curiously asked, "Academician Xu called you? Do we need to make a special trip to the Research Department building?"


    Wu Mo was a little confused. He had already received the information and should go to theb to show off his skills.


    After all, he had not seen the blueprint of the stealth armor issued by the system, so he was naturally a little excited.


    "This is a B-grade mission. How can anyoneplete it? We are going to the Research Department building now. Academician Xu will probably set up a small team, and many researchers, including you, willplete this mission."


    Zhou Ning waspletely speechless. He was somewhat curious. Did this new graduate student in front of him really have the strength, or was he boasting in front of him?


    Although he had heard of it before he came, Wu Mo was the only student in Shanglin City who had received a full score on the assessment.


    However, Shanglin city was only a satellite city. Thepetition was rtively small,pletely different from the capital, where there were many big shots.


    Even if the other party was a top student of Shanglin City, aftering to the capital and being ced in the Qingnan Academy, which had many geniuses, he could at most be considered a student with decent results.


    With that thought in mind, shebeled Wu Mo as unpractical.


    The car sped along the asphalt road.


    In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the Research Department building.


    After passing through the soundproof array, they took the elevator to the seventh floor.


    In the conference hall, they saw Academician Xu, who had just taken off hisb coat.


    "Academician Xu, the information has been received. Are you preparing to form an assault team?" Zhou Ning bowed slightly and said respectfully.


    Wu Mo also smiled and greeted him.


    "I just arrived at the Research Department, and I asked you to take themission form. Wu Mo, you won''t me me for not giving you anything then," Xu Wuyue said with a smile.


    "Don''t worry, even if you didn''t give me any missions, I don''t n to stay idle."


    Wu Mo directly voiced out his thoughts.


    "Hmm, alright. However, because this B-grade mission is quite difficult, it''s definitely not suitable to rely on just you alone. I''m preparing to form a five-man assault team. At that time, the five of you can support each other to exchange your insights and jointly push forward the progress of the Commission."


    Academician Zhong looked at Wu Mo''s expression. The road ahead was long and distant, and he was eager to learn. A hint of approval shed across his eyes.


    "Alright, Academician Xu, you go ahead first. I''ll go and gather the rest of the group!"


    Xu Wuyue nodded. He gave Wu Mo a look of praise and then turned around to leave the hall.


    Zhou Ning let Wu Mo wait on the couch for a while. Finally, he took out his phone and walked out. He was probably going to gather the others.


    Wu Mo had nothing better to do. He immediately took out the information and books he had obtained from the information department and began to read them with great interest.


    In the eyes of others, these books were obscure and difficult to understand. They were extremely boring.


    However, Wu Mo was eating them with great interest. It was as if he had drunk a cup of afternoon tea. His spirit was shaken.


    In the blink of an eye, more than ten minutes passed.


    During this period of time, many researchers passed by the hall. However, when they saw that Wu Mo was engrossed in reading books on the sofa, surprise shed across their faces.


    What was going on with this new graduate student? Why did hee here instead of going to the dormitory to rest on the first day?


    However, seeing that the other party was engrossed in his reading, they could only suppress their curiosity and quickly leave.

 Chapter 115 Discussing The Improvement Plan

    Wu Mo sat on the couch for more than ten minutes, but he only flipped through a few pages of the book in his hand.


    Much of the knowledge within was difficult for him to understand, but these ten minutes of reading allowed him to understand a lot of new knowledge.


    After he noticed the changes in his knowledge, he became even more interested in these materials and books.


    At this moment, the sound of dense footsteps could be heard.


    Wu Mo subconsciously raised his head and saw Zhou Ning, who was wearing ck formal office wear, rush over with four other researchers.


    The researchers he had gathered were all young. They should be like him, neers who had just arrived at the Research Department.


    However, the youngest among them looked to be almost 30 years old.


    He waspletely different from Wu Mo, a graduate student who had just graduated.


    "Alright, everyone is here. Let''s introduce ourselves first. After all, there will be all kinds of coborations in the future. We''ll see each other no matter what."


    Zhou Ning pped his hands and said with a smile.


    Wu Mo stood up politely and nced at the remaining four people.


    These people were all around 30 years old.


    One of them was wearing a blueb coat. He must have just finished his work and rushed over.


    The researchers looked at each other. One of them said first, "Since Academician Xu arranged for us to form a project team, I will definitely cooperate."


    He took a step forward and looked at the crowd with a gentle gaze. "Then let me introduce myself. My name is Feng Qi. I graduated from Shen Cheng Ting''an Academy. I''m 31 years old this year. I''m very happy to work with you."


    As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Ning, who was standing at the side, immediately apuded enthusiastically.


    "Not bad. Shen Cheng is also an important base city in our country. To be able to graduate from there, your strength must be very outstanding."


    Hearing the praise from Zhou Ning''s project assistant, Feng Qi immediately waved his hand and said humbly, "It''s nothing, it''s just good luck."


    Hearing this, Wu Mo immediately raised his eyebrows.


    Damn, this was a line that he used to avoid others. Now that this sentence came out of someone else''s mouth, he felt a little awkward.


    "My name is Chu Qingyan. I graduated from Qingmu City. I''m 29 years old this year."


    At this moment, a man wearing a white shirt and a pair of ck gloves walked out and introduced himself in a natural tone.


    "My name is Lai Hua, and I''m 30 years old."


    Everyone introduced themselves one after another. In just a few minutes, the five researchers began to get familiar with each other.


    At this moment, Feng Qi, who was wearing ab coat, stood up from the couch. He swept his gaze across the surrounding people and then said in a serious tone.


    "I think since we''ve already formed an assault team, we might as well tell each other what we''re best at. After all, if there''s anything that we don''t understand in the future, we can still learn from each other."


    His eyes were bright and full of confidence. It was as if he already had a mature n in his heart.


    Chu Qingyan, who was wearing ck gloves, nodded. He approved of the other party''s decision very much, so he acted as an example.


    "My thoughts coincide with Feng Qi''s. I think that since Academician Xu gave us the B-grademission, he must have trusted us toplete it. Therefore, it''s a good idea for us to work together to forge a set of armor that meets the requirements of themission."<sub> </sub>


    He tapped his finger on the coffee table and thought for a moment, then, he continued, "In terms of casting, I''m more proficient in melting materials. I also have a cauldron with a temperature limit of £¤2,800. Although the cauldron in theboratory is very effective, I''m better at controlling the temperature. "


    "So if everyone ns to work together, some of the materials can be left to me to forge."


    Chu Qingyan clenched his fists and said with confidence.


    However, just as he finished speaking, Lai Hua, who was standing at the side, voiced out a different opinion.


    "I think this is inappropriate. After all, each of us has different forging habits and techniques. Even if five people work together, the final result might not be as good as the work of another researcher."


    Lai Hua crossed his arms, his tone was bright as he said, "Rather than forcing it together, it''s better to fight on our own. Who knows, we might be able to produce a work that meets the standards. After all, I''m sure you understand that eggs can not be ced in the same basket."


    Seeing that their tone was somewhat tit for tat, Zhou Ning, who was standing at the side, immediately tried to smooth things over.


    "Actually, there''s no need to force this kind of thing. If everyone doesn''t like it, they can also develop it ording to their own habitual rhythm," Zhou Ning said softly.


    At this moment, in a corner of the couch, the young graduate student who had been silent all this time suddenly raised his head.


    He looked at Zhou Ning and his voice was a little ear-piercing.


    "Let''s just do our own things. This is a B-grademission. No matter what, we have to be more professional, especially with the various requirements from above. If we don''t have a few years of forging experience, the coboration will instead create chaos."


    The young man who had been silent earlier had a yful look on his face. He nced at Wu Mo, who was sitting at the side. The meaning behind his words was obvious.


    He was obviously worried that this new graduate student''s skills were not good enough. If they cooperated, it would only cause more trouble.


    Zhou Ning looked at the young man in canvas shoes with some confusion. The other party had been silent earlier, but when everyone mentioned the five of them working together, his tone had a hint of displeasure.


    This made her curious. What kind of person was the other party?


    At this moment, Wu Mo could clearly feel that the other party was hinting at something.


    He raised his head and looked at the young man.


    The other party''s eyes drooped slightly, but his aura was not weak at all.


    ? "Your name is Zhang Yuan, right? I feel that if you have the leisure to think about it, you should focus on how to improve your own strength. You don''t need to worry about other people''s matters."


    Wu Mo smiled slightly and directly responded to the other party''s previous statement.


    Looking at the five people in front of him, it seemed as if they were going to fight if he said anything wrong.


    Zhou Ning held his forehead helplessly.


    "Anyway, this B-ssmission only has less than two months left. No matter what method you use, as long as you can create a work that will satisfy Academician Xu, it will be fine. As for the rest of the work, you can handle it yourself. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me."


    After saying that, Zhou Ning walked towards the corridor in her high heels.


    Halfway through, she seemed to have remembered something and stopped in her tracks, then, she turned around and reminded everyone, "Oh, right, I forgot to mention something. No matter what difficulties you encounter on the way, try your best to produce the finished product."


    Zhou Ning used her index finger to turn the car keys around.


    Seeing the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Zhou Ning continued to exin.

 Chapter 116 Wu Mo Is Excluded?

    "After all, this is your first time epting such a high-level mission. Please take it seriously. If there are any missing materials during the casting process, you can call the warehouse staff to send them over."


    "Alright, I have to go now. I wish you all the best in your work," Zhou Ning blinked as he said this.


    Then he turned around and disappeared around the corner of the corridor.


    At that moment, there were only five people left in the entire research hall, sitting or standing.


    "This B-ss mission is not simple. If everyonepletes it on their own, they will definitely encounter many difficulties. Are you sure you don''t want to consider doing it together?" Feng Qi held a book in his hand and said with a slight frown.


    As a top student in Shen City and a genius ranked in the top ten of the school''s assessment points, he still felt a little overwhelmed when he saw these materials and requirements.


    He even had a feeling that he didn''t know where to start.


    Therefore, he felt that if he wanted to produce results in the remaining two months, the best solution would be for the five of them to work together and disy their best skills. That way, it would be much more convenient.


    However, other than Wu Mo, the four of them were all around the same age. They were all geniuses from different cities, and they were all the same batch of graduate students who were recruited from different ces.


    Each of them had simr strength, so it was impossible for them to easily listen to the arrangements of one person.


    Therefore, the reality before them was that without a backbone who was responsible for the details and general direction of the whole matter, it would be very difficult for everyone to forge the results.


    "How about this? Let''s exchange some insights in advance. Even if we don''tplete it together, we can help each other, right?"


    Feng Qi touched his eyebrows and continued to suggest.


    The gray-haired young man named Lai Hua stood up from the couch. He picked up a fruit on the coffee table and took a bite. Then, he looked at the crowd with a calm expression, "I think this will work. Even if no one is convinced by the other, it shouldn''t be a problem for us to exchange our skills."


    Chu Qingyan hummed in agreement. He adjusted his half-rimmed sses, and his voice sounded a little uncertain, "The tenth generation standard armor has many advantages. It''s not that easy to improve it. My idea is to separate the various attributes of the armor and improve it bit by bit. After all, this kind of work can not be done overnight."


    Hearing the two''s words, Zhang Yuan stood up from the couch and tidied his clothes, he said casually, "This kind of fine equipment can not be improved by throwing it into the cauldron and tempering it. Especially the multi-purposebat module. Unless you understand all the thick information, there''s no way to start."


    As he spoke, he pointed at the information book in Feng Qi''s hand, causing everyone to fall into deep thought.


    "I''ve read the information. Thesebat modules have already done their best. It''s impossible to improve them. I guess we can only make a new set of better modules."


    Wu Mo''s mind shed. The picture he saw on themission form earlier subconsciously said.


    However, as soon as he said that, the other four people all looked at him in surprise.


    "Wu Mo, you just came to our Research Department, so you might not know some things. We only need to make minor adjustments to the battle module. The main thing is to improve the rest of the armor. Because the module is the core technology, we can''t touch it. Or perhaps we don''t have the right to do so at the moment."


    Feng Qi kindly reminded him. He didn''t want Wu Mo to take a wrong turn as soon as he started.


    After all, the battle module had gone through countless researchers and academicians. It had already be the core area of the standard battle suit. If it was reced, the things they made wouldn''t even have the right to be battle armor.<sub> </sub>


    The other three people''s opinions on this matter were surprisingly unanimous. They hade to the Research Department for half a year and had already personally experienced the difference in strength between him and those experienced researchers. Even those people didn''t dare to easily change the core module, much less a research assistant who had just graduated.


    "It''s only the first day. What''s the point of thinking so much? We need a quiet environment to think about it. We''ll settle the details after we return to the dormitory. Anyway, there''s still nearly two months'' time. We''ll slowly adjust it."


    Throwing the fruit core into the trash can, Lai Hua spoke with a rxed expression.


    "When the timees, we''ll each publish a n. As for who''s good and who''s bad, the higher-ups will decide for themselves. It''s not up to us to decide."


    Zhang Yuan leaned against the couch. His gaze was a little absent-minded as he looked at the chandelier above his head.


    "In my opinion, we should change the surface material of the armor and change it to a material with a higher hardness and lighter weight. As for the concealment, adding a concealment spell formation shouldn''t be a problem, right?"


    "Even if we change it to a lighter material, it won''t be able to increase mobility. We should embed a gemstone that can reduce the weight of the body. Then, we should use a special casting method to omit some of the unimportant functions. This should be able to greatly increase the flexibility."


    "You didn''t mention anything about defense. I think we can add a titanium steel te in the central area of the armor and fuse it with some high-level profound qi. This should be able to bring about some better effects."


    "Won''t you increase the cost by doing this? When the timees, how will it be poprized on arge scale? I think we need to take a long time to think about this. We can log on to the Research Department''s official website in the evening and take a look at the excellent works for inspiration."


    Everyone was arguing about the improvement method. At this moment, Feng Qi found Wu Mo sitting on the couch with a slight frown, as if he was thinking about something that did not fit in with them.


    It should be that Wu Mo had juste to the Research Department today and was still not used to it.


    Feng Qi thought so in his heart. He immediately ended the discussion with the others and came in front of Wu Mo.


    "Wu Mo, I know that you have just arrived at the Research Department and are still not used to this ce."


    As he spoke, Feng Qi patted Wu Mo''s shoulder, his voice was gentle as he said, "How about this? When my n is finalized tomorrow, you can study it with me. When the timees, you can be my assistant or whatever. If my n can receive the approval of the higher-ups, you will definitely have a share of the credit."


    Lai Hua and Chu Qingyan, who were still arguing, immediately came forward when they saw this.


    Although Wu Mo was only a research assistant, he definitely had his own unique points to be recruited into the Research Department. If they worked together, they should be able to save most of their time and devote more of their time to research.


    Thinking of this, the two of them extended an olive branch to Wu Mo.


    "Wu Mo, why don''t you work with me? Usually, we just need to calcine the materials and test the data."


    "Pfft, you''re wasting their time. You should work with me. I''ve been in the Research Department for almost half a year. You can learn a lot with me."


    Looking at the concerned expressions of the three people in front of him, Wu Mo smiled helplessly.


    "I''m sorry, I won''t join your team for the time being. Next, I should be in theboratory in closed-door research. When the timees, I hope that you can give me a share of the suitable materials."


    Wu Mo''s words stunned the three people in front of him a little.

 Chapter 117 Wandering In The Sea Of Books

    Closed-door study? They were nning to ovee the technical difficulties.


    Whether they seeded or not, they did not suffer any losses. If the other party really came up with something, they could share the results immediately.


    Thinking of this, Feng Qi was the first to nod in agreement.


    "Alright, no problem, Wu Mo. Feel free to do your research. If there''s anything, just tell me."


    Lai Hua patted his chest and appeared relieved.


    A smile appeared on the corner of Chu Qingyan''s mouth. With a gentle voice, he said, "Wu Mo, you don''t have to put too much pressure on yourself. Actually, when we first came to the Research Department, we were also a little lost like you. We''ll be fine after staying for a few days. Don''t think too much. Pay attention to your rest."


    At this moment, Zhang Yuan, who was sitting on the couch on the other side, saw that the three of them were so concerned about Wu Mo. He snorted coldly in his heart.


    "Tsk, they are clearly selfish people, yet they insist on pretending to be good people. It''s really disgusting."


    Not long after, the five of them separated from the hall on the seventh floor of the Research Department and walked toward their respective dormitories.


    Wu Mo sighed.


    He felt that it would be better to go home and read the information if he were to waste his time on this kind of meaningless discussion.


    Moreover, although everyone present was quite strong, their personalities were obviously notpatible with each other. If they continued to chat, it would only cause more trouble.


    He stood up from the couch, put on his coat, and left.


    Unlike the others, he nned to go to the internal reference room before he went back. He would first borrow some materials rted to the field of casting, and then start thinking about improving things.


    The internal reference room was not far from the Research Department building.


    But it was the core area of the entire Research Department.


    In the entire core area, every person who entered or exited needed to enter the detailed registration and sign. The confidentiality agreement was very troublesome. Unless one really needed certain books, otherwise, even if one had the authority, they would note once a month.


    Not long after, Wu Mo arrived at the Central Command Center of the entire Research Department.


    Themand center only had a total of three floors, and its area was less than 10% of the entire Research Department.


    However, it controlled the deployment area of the entire Research Department.


    Themunication with the higher-ups, the distribution of missions above Grade B, and the provision of military supplies were all included in this small area.


    Even the main entrance was set up with hidden sentries to ensure the normal operation of the entire building and not allow any of the secrets here to be leaked.


    Moreover, in the deployment area, there were also three academicians in charge of the research and development of key technologies and equipment. Two of the three academicians of the entire fifth academy were working in this area.


    Wu Mo came to the front door. He was first scanned by the instrument before he sessfully walked into the deployment building through facial recognition.


    The internal reference room was on the right side of the headquarters building. As he walked into the internal reference room, he saw several master cksmiths with six auspicious clouds drawn on their chests.


    Especially when he met the sharp gazes of those veteran researchers, the pressure he felt was even stronger.


    Even though his strength had already reached the level of a five-star cksmith,pared to those researchers who were over 50 years old, there was still a huge gap.


    When he arrived at the entrance of the internal reference room, the staff found out that Wu Mo indeed had the authority to borrow books from the internal reference room before carefully opening the safety door.


    The thick stainless steel door was pushed by the mechanism, making a rumbling sound.


    Wu Mo walked in with a slightly perturbed and excited mood, and then the safety door was closed.


    The entire internal reference room was about 300 square meters and was divided into two areas.


    They were the book category and the casting exhibition category.<sub> </sub>


    The books contained the notes and important books of the casting masters.


    The knowledge and content inside were many things that the forging masters could nevere into contact with in their lifetime.


    As for the product category, it was an outstanding work that had never appeared on the official website. It was usually the outstanding works of the past generations that had been distributed inrge quantities by the official army.


    p The entire internal reference room was very quiet. There was a resting area of about ten square meters in the lower right corner of each area.</anda>


    The walls of the internal reference room were all gray. The rows of bookshelves were separated by a reasonable distance. Just theyout alone made people feelfortable.


    Looking at the rows of books on the bookshelves, Wu Mo was like a glutton waiting to enjoy a good meal.


    The knowledge books were stored in different categories, and the author would be marked under each notebook.


    Looking at the notes of the famous people who had reported on the news countless times, Wu Mo felt that his breathing was a little fast.


    He took out a master''s notebook that was as well-known as thunder and carefully flipped to the first page.


    Although the words on it were a little messy, the content was enough to soothe his heart.


    Wu Mo waspletely immersed in the content as he looked at the lines.


    He wandered in the sea of books, using the tip of the brush as a boat and the truth as a paddle. He did not notice the passage of time at all.


    Just like that, he stood in the distance and watched for nearly an hour.


    During this period of time, he did not even dare to blink his eyes, and his legs did not move at all as if they had taken root.


    It was not until a wave of soreness and numbness came from his legs and pulled him out of the state ofprehension that Wu Mo came to the resting area and sat down.


    In the art of casting, the Great Dao was the simplest. If one relied on a piece of technique in one''s mind, it would be difficult to break through the realm.


    If one could master the technique and use no technique to respond to it, one would be able to break through on the day of flowing clouds and flowing water.


    Lines of words that were difficult to understand and pieces of practical and theoretical knowledge were ced in Wu Mo''s mind. Those words of wisdom were like thunder in the clear sky, shattering Wu Mo''s short and shallow knowledge of forging, then, he would reshape it into something broader.


    Time flew by and in the blink of an eye, three hours had passed.


    At this moment, an old man with gray hair walked out from the exhibition area of the internal reference room. The old man was full of energy, but he looked a little tired.


    The old man left the exhibit area. Just as he was about to leave, he saw Wu Mo sitting in the resting area, staring intently at a notebook.


    He subconsciously nced at the book cover and realized that the other party was actually looking at Master Gao Ming''s notebook. Immediately, he was a little surprised.


    Oh? There was actually someone who could read Gao Ming''s notebook. What an interesting little fellow.


    A gratified smile appeared on the old man''s face. After memorizing the young man''s appearance, he turned around and left.


    After the old man left, Wu Mo was the only one left in the entire inner room.


    He was almost engrossed in reading until his neck was sore. He blinked his eyes and withdrew from the state of absorbing knowledge.


    "Ah... my neck is a little sore. Could it be that I''ve been here for a day?"


    Wu Mo stood up with some difficulty. All the joints in his body had been in the same position for a long time. When he stood up, it immediately caused a series of crackling sounds.


    Rubbing his slightly sore eyes, Wu Mo took out his phone and looked at the time.


    D*mn it! It''s 10.00 pm!


    Looking at the number on it, Wu Mo''s eyes immediately widened.

 Chapter 118 Making A Plan, Invisibility Armor

    He had actually spent nearly four hours in the internal reference room.


    No one would believe him even if he told them.


    Seeing that it was already sote, he did not dare stay any longer. He randomly picked two other books from the bookshelf and hurried out the door.


    ording to the rules regarding the internal reference room, all researchers, except for academicians, could onlye twice a week and borrow three books at most.


    Since he had already used up his number of visits, he might as well take more books.


    He then pressed the button on the wall.


    The thick and heavy safety door was slowly pushed open. Wu Mo went to the registration office and quickly obtained the proof of borrowing.


    Soon after, he left as the staff gazed at him with shock.


    The 40-year-old registrar looked at Wu Mo''s departing figure with his mouth agape.


    If he remembered correctly, this young man had entered the internal reference room at six o''clock in the evening, but he came out sote. Had he fallen asleep inside?


    After leaving themand center, an excited Wu Mo walked back to his dormitory, the limited-edition vi.


    The face recognition program opened the courtyard door and locked it.


    He approached the stone steps in front of the hall and changed his shoes into slippers.


    Flip-flop, flip-flop. Then he ran up to his bedroom on the second floor and drew the curtains.


    Finally, he ced the three books on his desk. Once he did all that in one go, he immediately closed his eyes.


    ''Enter the Divine Forging Space!''


    He silently chanted in his heart, and in the next moment, his five senses were sealed off.


    His mind was in a slight daze, but he instantly arrived in the Divine-grade Forging Space.


    He looked at the forging space that was filled with dense ck light.


    Wu Mo heaved a sigh of relief. He immediately took out the Invisibility Armor''s blueprint andid it t on the white workbench.


    The blueprint recorded every detail of the Invisibility Armor, as well as the entire forging process.


    Soon, the information on it turned into specks of starlight and merged into his mind.


    Right then, he had already mastered the forging method and experience required to cast the Invisibility Armor. Even if he did not rely on the backtracking function on the workbench, he could sessfully cast it in two times.


    That was the blueprint''s most important function. It showed the drawings of all Divine weapons and shared all the necessary experience and knowledge. One could even understand the most subtle twists and turns after looking at it.


    If one were to obtain the same amount of knowledge and experience from each failed forging, it would take at least a week or even longer.


    Now that Wu Mo had obtained the blueprint, he only needed to get all the materials.


    Once he got his hands on the materials, Wu Mo couldpletely rely on his experience and use the backtracking function to forge the Invisibility Armor within a week.


    Unlike others, he had pretty much won at the starting line.


    With that said, Wu Mo had also put in a lot of effort whenpared with the rest.


    He managed to reach this stage because he never gave up on himself.


    Looking at the faint but chaotic light in front of him, Wu Mo heaved a sigh of relief.


    "The functions of this Invisibility Armor are not much different from the requirements on themission list. Although I''ve modified all the battle modules, it has better performance. I''ll collect the materials in the next few days."


    Wu Mo had already made a n in his mind and decided to use the Invisibility Armor as themissioned work in two months.


    "System, please list the materials required to forge the Invisibility Armor."


    [Ding! Searching... The materials are as listed.<sub> </sub>


    [Thirteen materials are required to forge the Invisibility Armor, including Green ss Thread, Meteorite Spirit Stones... Dark Light Wings and so on. ording to the search, there are four in the system''s store. The rest need to be found by the host.]


    Looking at the list of materials that appeared in front of him, Wu Mo made a mental note in his heart. He nned to look for the person in the material warehouse tomorrow. After all, this was the Research Department, so there should be many precious materials here. At the very least, it should be better than Treasure Pavilion.


    After he prepared everything, Wu Mo silently recited the magic words in his heart and slowly exited the Divine Forging Space.


    Opening his eyes once more, he saw a warm bedroom before him.


    He exhaled softly and picked up the materials on the table to continue his reading.


    He carried on until 11 o''clock at night, when he was so sleepy that he could no longer open his eyes, before cing the books into the bookcase with the password.


    As hey in bed, he scrolled through his phone.


    Wu Mo discovered that there was an additional app called the National Artifact Research Department on his phone.


    Feeling curious, he opened it and discovered that the front page disyed the fifth Research Department.


    The software could instantly initiate a conversation with any researcher, and it had a triple A information lock to keep it confidential.


    It must have been installed automatically after Wu Mo entered the Research Department.


    He found that not only were Zhou Jinlong''s good friends on the chat page, but there was also a group chat with the assault team that had just been formed this afternoon.


    Did the Information Department have a hidden hacker who could control his phone remotely.


    Wu Mo was surprised. He subconsciously opened the assault team''s group chat.


    He realized that there were already a few messages.


    Feng Qi: "Those people from the Information Department are really fast. I can only sigh at how powerful the technology is now. It has already exceeded myprehension."


    Lai Hua: "You''ll get used to it. This isn''t the first time I''ve encountered something like this. When our group disbands, the group chat will also be deleted."


    Chu Qingyan: "So far, I still don''t have any leads. It seems that this matter can''t be rushed. Let''s go to sleep first, everyone."


    Wu Mo curled his lips as he read the messages that the three of them left.


    Perhaps it was because of their difference in age, but Wu Mo felt that he could not bond with the rest.


    Just as he was about to turn off his phone and go to sleep, his instructor, Zhou Jinlong sent him a text message.


    "Wu Mo, you seem to be adapting well in the Research Department. I heard from my mentor that he''s arranged for you to improve some armor. How is it going? Do you have any leads at the moment?"


    Looking at the concerned text message from Mr. Zhou Jinlong, Wu Mo grinned.


    "It''s not bad. The working atmosphere here suits me very well. Instructor, I saw that the National Artifact Research Department''s app appear on my phone. Why didn''t you send me a message there?"


    Zhou Jinlong answered, "That''s our Research Department''smunication software. Although it guarantees absolute information security, the people from the Information Department can see everything there. Aside from work-rted topics, try not to make any otherments there."


    "Oh, alright... Thank you for your concern, Mr. Zhou."


    Wu Mo quickly typed his reply. He recalled the three people grumbling about the National Artifact Research Department earlier, and he could not help but want tough in his heart.


    The three graduate students probably did not know that on the other side of their phones, the staff of the National Artifact Research Department might be staring at the screen.


    If they made some horriblements, they would die on the spot.


    If the content they posted contradicted the department''s style, they might even lose their jobs as fresh graduate.


    "You''re wee. In the future, if you don''t understand anything, you can let me know. Rest early. Good night."


    Wu Moy in bed and slowly closed his eyes after he read Zhou Jinlong''s message.


    He nned to wait until the next morning to contact the warehouse staff and send everything over.

 Chapter 119 Reading The Past And Present

    Although the Invisibility Armor was only a piece of Epic-grade equipment, it was not easy to forge. Moreover, its materials were rather scarce. There was no harm in preparing for it early.


    Having made up his mind, Wu Mo stopped thinking about anything else and slowly emptied his mind.


    Then, he gradually fell asleep.


    ...


    At 8.30 am, Wu Mo arrived at the Research Department''s cafeteria.


    The cafeteria was clean and tidy. Although it did not take up as much space as the cafeteria in the Divine Arms Academy, the dishes here were much more delicious and varied.


    The food that Wu Mo ordered for breakfast was rtively light. Soy milk, fried dough sticks, and two eggs could provide him with energy for the entire morning.


    As he ate, he thought about how to n his time for the day.


    Now that he had received amission, he also gained experience to cast the Invisibility Armor in his mind.


    His first goal was to gather all the materials and read more books to make up for hisck of skills in the field of forging.


    After breakfast, Wu Mo left the cafeteria.


    He took out his cell phone and contacted the warehouse staff. Then, he sent them the list of materials.


    Once all that was done, he looked at the research group''smunication records.


    He found that they were all discussing some trivial things.


    Back in the vi, Wu Mo moved the chairs in the hall into the yard.


    Under the sunlight, he held a book and read it with great interest.


    He was reading theplete runic collection that he had purchased from the store.


    He did so because in the forging of the Invisibility Armor, Tier 2 runes were needed to help the armor block out the digital information that battle modules emitted.


    If this step was not done properly, the armor would only be invisible in the physical sense.


    The enemy''s surveince equipment could still easily locate the armor.


    Time flew by in the morning.


    When it was almost eleven o''clock, Wu Mo heard the hum of an engine.


    He looked up and saw a young man in his twenties in a Research Department uniform getting out of the car with a big box in his hand.


    "Mr. Wu, this is the material you ordered from the Research Department. Please sign here," the staff of the materials warehouse said politely through the yard''s gate.


    Wu Mo immediately closed the book before he stood up to open the gate and take the box.


    When the box was handed to him, he immediately felt his arms drop.


    He could not help but look surprised.


    Wu Mo remembered that he had only asked the materials warehouse for a set of materials to cast the Invisibility Armor. It should only weigh a few kilograms.


    However, the box in his hands weighed nearly 20 kilograms, which surprised him immensely.


    After signing the papers and watching the staff leave, Wu Mo immediately carried the box back to the living room.


    He ced the box on the table and slowly opened it.


    Inside the box were all kinds of sparkling and translucent ores, as well as casting consumables needed to draw the magic array, and runes.


    After he stored the materials in his Interspatial Ring one by one, he discovered abat module that weighed more than 10 kilograms at the bottom of the box.


    It seemed to be the coreponent of the tenth-generation standardbat suit.


    Thebat module could cover most of the entire armor''s area when spread out.


    As long as power was provided, the battle module could be used for reconnaissance,bat, long-range attacks, and other functions.<sub> </sub>


    It had been improved and created by countless generations of researchers, and the technology was now infinitely developed.


    Should the battle module that weighed more than 10 kilograms be installed into the matchingbat suit, it would be able to perform all its functions.


    However, Wu Mo was curious. The warehouse staff had sent him this core module without his request.


    "Not everyone needs this to improve theirbat armor, sigh!"


    Storing the battle module in his Interspatial Ring, Wu Mo sighed and returned to the courtyard to continue reading.


    Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed.


    During this period of time, Wu Mo went to the internal reference room two more times.


    He returned the books he had previously borrowed and obtained new notes at the same time.


    He borrowed a total of nine notes and rted books, and as a result, his theoretical knowledge was greatly enriched.


    Moreover, he was skilled in creating and designing.


    In the past, he could only refer to Blue Star World''s culture.


    He could imitate the equipment in major games. In fact, the products he forged even had the same appearance.


    Now, however, he had finished learning most of the knowledge in the field of forging, and he had also gained the ability to create products.


    Moving forward, he could go without relying on the creativity provided by the system or the gaming culture from his previous life to forge equipment that only belonged to him.


    At the same time, his progress in learning runes did not drop. By now, he had mastered 80% of Tier 1 rune-drawing techniques.


    He had even understood a lot of those cumbersome and obscure Tier 2 runes.


    Within a week, he studied the theoretical knowledge intensely. Besides going to the internal reference room and the cafeteria, he basically shut himself in.


    At most, he would sit in the courtyard and look at the scenery outside.


    He wholeheartedly converted the knowledge and notes of those great people into experiences that he could use on his own.


    Although he had not been evaluated, his forging level had already surpassed that of most five-star cksmiths.


    In contrast to the tense Wu Mo, who was constantly learning, the other students seemed much more rxed.


    Sometimes, they would express their opinions in the department''s research group. Sometimes, they would go out together to gather some fresh inspiration.


    In their eyes, Wu Mo was the same. He never said a word in the group.


    At night... the bright moon hung high in the sky, blocked by dark clouds.


    Wu Mo stood on the second-floor balcony, leaning against the railing and looking at the trees that were blown by the breeze below.


    "Son, we''ve already settled down in Shanglin City. Your sister, Wu Yan, has enrolled in the best junior high school for humanities in the area. Now that her life has stabilized, you don''t worry about us. Live and work well. Come back and visit us during the holidays."


    After Wu Mo saw the few words from his mother and the two photos of their new home, a smile gradually appeared on his face.


    He knew that his sister, editor Wu Yan, must have sent the message because his mother, who had been a farmer for half her life, did not even know how to use a smartphone.


    However, that did not stop him from feeling his mother''s care and concern for him in the message.


    He replied to exin his current situation to his parents.


    Wu Moter closed the balcony door and returned to his bedroom.


    He looked at the open notebook on the desk, and aconfident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.


    "I''m still two materials away from forging the Invisibility Armor. Tomorrow, I''ll ask Mr. Zhou if he knows whether these two materials are in the Research Department."


    Wu Mo stretched his body andy down on the bed with a rxed expression.


    As he read through the master cksmith''s notes and understood his thoughts, the feeling of aplishment prevented him from stopping.

 Chapter 120 Journey To The Back Mountain

    He chewed up the books that were difficult to understand as well, and he could almost recite them back to back.


    Since he had enough knowledge and knew the techniques by heart, Wu Mo appeared very rxed.


    Flick...


    Eventually, he turned off the lights in his bedroom.


    Moonlight shone through the ss door, and the entire bedroom fell into silence.


    At that moment, in an office on the seventh floor of the research building, Zhou Ning was standing in front of theputer desk.


    She was reporting the assault team''s progress over the past month to Academician Xu.


    "Are you saying that the other students have already given a suitable n, but Wu Mo hasn''t made a move?"


    Xu Wuyue was sitting in theputer chair, and he questioned her in a puzzled tone.


    "Yes, Academician Xu. Feng Qi''s initial n was to use titanium tes to rece the alloy material, and draw brand-new arrays as well as runes, to help improve the armor''s attributes and effects. Lai Qi''s choice of n was more focused on..."


    Zhou Ning''s logic was clear as the project assistant, and she reported the improvement ideas and ns of everyone on the assault team.


    Xu Wuyue nodded slightly.


    He pondered for a moment and tapped his fingers lightly on the desk.


    Noticing that Academician Xu was not speaking, Zhou Ning immediately added, "Academician Xu, those are students who have only been in the Research Department for half a year. Their methods of improvement might be a little green."


    "Mm, I got it. There are still more than 20 days before themission''s deadline. You can give them a slight reminder to speed up their progress."


    Xu Wuyue''s voice was a little low. He was thinking.


    Had Wu Mo encountered some difficulties? With his ability, it was impossible for him to not even have an improved n within a month.


    However, time was not up yet, so he did not intend to rush him.


    "Okay, I understand. You can carry on with your day first, Academician Xu," Zhou Ning said respectfully and immediately left the office.


    At night, there was no one in the research building''s corridor. Zhou Ning walked on the path in her high heels, constantly making clicking sounds.


    ''Wu Mo, you''re the most confident researcher on the assault team when epting a mission. Why is it you can''t evene up with a n after one month? Don''t let me down,'' she muttered to herself in her heart.


    She immediately walked into the elevator and left the building.


    ...


    The next morning, Wu Mo arrived at Instructor Zhou''s dormitory, Vi 907.


    At that moment, Instructor Zhou was wearing a pair of white printed pajamas. Not only did he lose his original sharp aura, but he even seemed quite adorable.


    "Mr. Zhou, I''m not disturbing you, am I?" Wu Mo asked in surprise as he stood in the yard and looked at Zhou Jinlong, who was watering the nts.


    "It''s okay. I''m on leave today, so I can take care of the flowers in the greenhouse."


    Zhou Jinlong stroked the debris on the leaves and replied with a rxed expression.


    "How''s it going? How many projects have youpleted in the past month?"


    Seeing Wu Mo''s somewhat reserved look, he immediately opened up the conversation.


    "It''s... It''s alright. Things are going quite smoothly at present. Mr. Zhou, I''m here to ask you if the Research Department has materials such as Dark Light Wings."


    "I''ve already asked the materials warehouse, but they haven''t found them."


    Wu Mo did not beat around the bush and directly told him the purpose of his visit.


    However, once he mentioned it, Instructor Zhou Jinlong frowned slightly.


    "Dark Light Wings... This material you mentioned, could it be something from an animal?" Instructor Zhou Jinlong stopped what he was doing and asked in return.<sub> </sub>


    Wu Mo immediately nodded. He thought that since Instructor Zhou Jinlong had a rough idea, he should know its origin.


    "Hmm... I believe I''ve heard from Academician Xu that there''s a creature called the Dark Light Butterfly on the mountain behind the Research Department. The wings you mentioned can''t be the wings of those butterflies, right?"


    Zhou Jinlong looked at Wu Mo.


    Those butterflies that lived on the mountain were neither fierce beasts among the ten thousand races nor animals nourished by spirit energy. Even he could not think of any use for those things.


    If he had not heard Academician Xu mention it before, he would not have known that there were such small creatures on the back mountain.


    Forget the genius cksmiths in their Research Department, even those who lived in the wild would not be interested in such materials.


    Materials were called materials because they could be used for forging.


    If they could not be forged into any equipment, then they would be trash.


    He wanted to persuade Wu Mo to not take the unconventional path. If Wu Mo could not research it, he could change his mind.


    However, when Wu Mo heard that Instructor Zhou knew the origin of the Dark Light Wings, a smile immediately formed on his face.


    "Thank you, Mr. Zhou. I know what to do now."


    After Wu Mo said that, he quickly waved goodbye. Instructor Zhou opened his mouth, but in the end, he failed to say anything to dissuade him.


    He felt that Wu Mo was still too young. Sometimes, hitting a wall was quite good.


    The moment Wu Mo left Instructor Zhou Jinlong''s vi, he went off to pack his things and prepare to venture to the back mountain.


    The fifth Research Department upied arge area in the capital city, but it only utilized 40% of thend.


    The rest of the area was mostly covered by greenery and mountains.


    Many birds and small animals lived there.


    The entire Research Department was surrounded by a variety of beautiful sceneries precisely because those animals existed.


    Wu Mo was so anxious because of the Dark Light Wings were very important materials in his stealth armor.


    The Dark Light Butterfly was one of the members of the Papilionoidea family.


    Their bodies were not big, but their wings were very wide.


    Although the wings of each Dark Light Butterfly were different in color, there was one thing that attracted Wu Mo''s attention.


    Their wings were extremely thin, yetpared with others, they were more resilient. Most importantly, when the wings were stiff, they would be as hard as scales.


    As long as he tempered them with Mjolnir in his hand, he could achieve physical invisibility by refracting light rays.


    He had learned this from a notebook. He guessed that a few years ago, a master cksmith had set his eyes on the Dark Light Butterfly.


    Unfortunately, that cksmith did not have a special weapon in hand, so he never managed to turn the wings into a material.


    He only knew that the wings would be extremely hard when they were still. That was their nature.


    By now, Wu Mo had returned home. He put some food and water in his Interspatial Ring on top of two sets of clothing before he prepared to set off.


    The mountain behind the Research Department was less than a kilometer away from the research building at the center.


    Be that as it may, the continuous mountain range stretched across several hundred kilometers andextended out of the fifth Research Department. It was one of the most famous mountain ranges in the entire capital.


    After around ten minutes, Wu Mo arrived at the foot of the mountain.


    The ce was surrounded by dense vegetation, and the building''s shadow was no longer visible.


    Unlike other ces, it did not have strict security measures. It was much closer to nature instead.

 Chapter 121 Item Discussion

    Wu Mo stayed where he was for half a minute. In just a short while, he saw several different types of birds flying over his head.


    They were either standing on the top of a tree branch and chirping, or they just took a nce at him, an uninvited guest, and flew off into the distance.


    In order to find the Dark Light Butterfly as soon as possible, Wu Mo directly summoned the system interface and exchanged his points for a pair of shoes that could increase his speed.


    ? After spending 800 points, Wu Mo changed into ck canvas shoes.


    These shoes were light and breathable. They only looked rough. They were no different from ordinary shoes, but upon careful observation, one would be able to discover several mysterious array patterns on both sides. There was also a sapphire-blue ore iid at the center.


    Sensing the slight coolness from the shoe, Wu Mo grinned and increased his speed, climbing toward the top of the mountain.


    There was a lush scenery in front of him, and the mountain path beneath his feet was rugged.


    Not long after, his field of vision became much wider.


    He turned around and looked behind. He had already reached a height of over 100 meters.


    Wu Mo raised his head and looked into the distance, but he did not see the shadow of the lustrous butterfly.


    He could only continue walking further away. From time to time, he would bring out a cup of water and take a sip.


    Time did not pass quickly in the mountains.


    After crossing countless mountain ranges, he finally found a Dark Light Butterfly among the wildflowers.


    The butterfly''s body was dark gray, and it was only seven to eight centimeters in size. However, its wings were as wide as a palm and dark purple. Under the sunlight, it could change the color of its wings. It was very mysterious.


    After finally seeing the wings, Wu Mo''s heart finally settled down.


    He wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly walked toward the wildflowers growing under the trees'' shade.


    However, to forge a huge armor, he needed a lot of Dark Light Wings. He could not gather all of them in a short time.


    He would have to return to his dormitory at night, and it would probably take him a few days to find enough wings for a set of armor.


    Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, three days had passed.


    In the present, Zhou Ning gathered all the researchers rted to the project in the building to discuss their follow-up ns.


    There were only a dozen days left until the end of the mission.


    Most of the graduate students should have been able toe up with a prototype of their improvement n by this time.


    When the time came, they would need to record all the stages of their equipment and the direction of its improvement.


    However, when everyone arrived, they realized that Wu Mo was not there.


    Lai Hua, who was thetest to arrive, sat down on the couch. He looked to the left and right, and once he realized that Wu Mo had not arrived, he immediately asked in a strange tone, "Huh... Why isn''t everyone here?"


    "Wow, you still don''t know, right? Wu Mo has been running to the back mountain every day for the past few days. It''s very enjoyable to go sightseeing."


    Zhang Yuan changed his position and sat on the couch as he spoke in a teasing tone.


    "Huh? is that so? Doesn''t that kid know that there are only a dozen days left until the end of the mission? He still has the mood to go out and y?"


    Chu Qingyan could not sit still after hearing that. He sounded as if he was full of surprise.


    Feng Qi pursed his lips and exined, "I don''t know. I heard that he''s been going to the back mountain to catch butterflies. I wonder if he''s caught them in the past few days."


    "Good guy, it seems that I''m still early," Lai Huained helplessly.


    At that moment, Zhou Ning, who had been sitting at the side and silently sending messages on her phone, stood up abruptly. "Let''s not wait for him. We can start first. If any of you have made an improved prototype, you can bring it out for us to see.


    "Academician Xu will be here soon," she said casually.


    As she spoke, the others nodded in agreement.


    Wu Mo had been spending time on the back mountain during the day recently. Unless they waited until nighttime, he would not be back to meet them at all.<sub> </sub>


    The discussion started, and the four people present took out their forging items one after another.


    Only a month had passed since the beginning.


    However, every member of the assault team was a graduate student with high forging skills.


    They all gave their own opinions on the improvements, especially after they


    Although a month''s time was not enough to produce a finished product, it was enough toplete the casting of the prototype.


    Soon, Feng Qi took out a silver armor.


    The armor was embedded with multi-functional modules, and many of its joints were designed to fit very well.


    It might have only been a rough framework, but everyone understood where he was going with its development.


    "Even though this only took me a week, I used a lot of advanced casting techniques. They''re in line with human mechanics. Even if you wear it for a long time, it won''t consume much energy."


    Feng Qi smiled confidently and introduced his creation proudly.


    Zhou Ning looked at the semi-finished armor on the table. A momentter, she seemed to discover something wrong, but she just furrowed her brows slightly.


    She was only a project assistant, so she had no obligation to give suggestions to the staff''s work, and of course, she had no right toment on it.


    "Not bad, Feng Qi. As expected of Shen Cheng''s top student. Your idea''s pretty good."


    Lai Hua stood up and stared at the semi-finished armor in front of him with shining eyes while he praised it.


    "Okay, Chu Qingyan, it''s your turn!"


    A few of them began to exchange ideas on how to improve the armor. This time, with the semi-finished armor physically present, they were able to finalize the idea of improving the armor. Therefore, there were quite a number of practical ideas in the discussion this time.


    "Not only did I thicken the armor in the elbow area, but I also used supramolecr materials. It''s light and breathable but also increases the defense of arge area. It''s perfect."


    "What about your concealment?" Chu Qingyan asked subconsciously.


    "Uh... I added a star camouge pattern on the surface. The effect is almost the same as before."


    Lai Hua was instantly stumped by the question, but he immediately reacted and answered with a stiff neck.


    The several individuals were close to finishing their discussion. Each of the four took out half-finished products and gave their ideas for improvement so that the rest could discuss.


    Seeing theme up with good ideas and mention professional terms, Zhou Ning could not help but raise her eyebrows.


    Sometimes, brainstorming was more useful than writing alone.


    However... Wu Mo did not seem to be keeping up at this moment.


    She seemed slightly absent-minded based on her gaze.


    Right then, Academician Xu, who was wearing ab coat, walked over from the corner of the corridor. When he saw the members of the assault team disussing, his footsteps unwittingly became lighter.


    "Academician... Academician Xu is here!"


    Chu Qingyan said with an excited face. He was facing the corridor, but he immediately stood up when he saw that familiar gaze.


    The people around him quickly got up and straightened their postures, hoping to leave a good impression on their leader.


    "Everyone''s been working hard. You started work so early!"


    Academician Xu walked over with a smile and greeted everyone one by one.


    "Good morning, Academician Xu," Zhou Ning, the project assistant immediately bowed and greeted him respectfully.


    "How is everyone''s project progressing? There''s no need to be reserved. I''m just here to look around. You can continue your discussion."


    Academician Xu waved his hand, signaling everyone to rx.

 Chapter 122 Materials Collected, Ready To Forge!

    "Academician Xu, we havepleted the improved framework for the project and are currently discussing ideas for the next step."


    "Yes, we''ll be able to forge a brand new battle armor in ten days at most!"


    The few students reported their current research results with excitement on their faces.


    Academician Xu nodded. He looked around and suddenly frowned.


    "Zhou Ning, why haven''t I seen Wu Mo? Where did he go?!"


    Academician Xu asked in a doubtful tone after he turned his head to look at Zhou Ning.


    Among the people on the assault team, he had been looking forward to Wu Mo''s work the most. However, he had not seen him for three days.


    As time passed, doubts began to arise in his heart.


    Zhou Ning did not dare be negligent, so she promptly told him the truth. "Academician Xu, Wu Mo just sent me a message saying that he can''t make it for the time being.


    "When he first epted the project, Wu Mo spent most of his time in his dormitory in seclusion. asionally, he would go to the internal reference room to borrow books. Recently, he''s been going to the back mountain every day. He has basically never participated in the project meetings."


    Zhou Ning roughly exined Wu Mo''s schedule in the Research Department, and Academician Xu''s frown deepened.


    When the surrounding graduate students heard this, they were a little confused too.


    What exactly was this guy called Wu Mo up to?


    They had agreed that he would go into seclusion to study up on the technical aspects. Why was he going on a trip every day?


    At that thought, Zhang Yuan, who had always been hostile toward Wu Mo, immediately said, "Do you even need to think about it? Wu Mo must have tried toe up with something in the past. However, as his research deepened, he realized that his strength was insufficient. If he can''te up with any results, his state of mind will probably copse, so he''s just going out to rx!"


    "Um... Who knows? Wu Mo might have given up. He has never spoken in the group chat before. He might be worn out and might have gone on a sightseeing trip." Lai Hua touched his chin and analyzed.


    Hearing their analysis, the other members felt that it made sense.


    If Wu Mo had found something, would he have been like a quiet gourd and remained silent for a long time?


    He must have not been able toe up with an improved method. He did not even have a prototype, which was why he deliberately did not participate in the meeting.


    Everyone discussed and spected on the reason for Wu Mo''s absence from the meeting.


    Even Xu Wuyue was a little confused about Wu Mo''s ns!


    "Academician Xu, don''t worry. Although Wu Mo is a little antisocial, he definitely won''t leave themission alone and go out to y."


    "While we still don''t know what he''s nning, he must have his own reasons for doing so. It''s not time yet. Let''s give him more time."


    Zhou Ning took two steps forward and rified the situation to Academician Xu. Her tone was certain as if she believed that Wu Mo would definitely be able to produce a well-improved armor.


    Xu Wuyue nodded slightly. "Alright, there are still more than 10 days before the end of the mission. Make the most of your time and try your best to forge the armor and do all the tests before your superiors arrive."


    He looked out of the window at the mountain range in the distance. After a moment, he turned around and left the hall.


    After Academician Xu left, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.


    They were a little puzzled as to why Zhou Ning was speaking up for Wu Mo.


    He was just a neer who had recently arrived in the Research Department. Logically speaking, he should not have the ability toplete the modification of armor on his own. Why did Zhou Ning trust him so much?


    They did not know the answer to these questions.


    "Thank you for making progress on the modification project. If you need to test your prototypeter, you can contact me at any time."


    Zhou Ning spoke with a smile and departed from the research building.


    The four members were left to look at each other in dismay.


    "Wu Mo is really lucky to get Academician Xu and Zhou Ning''s attention," Lai said with a smile.<sub> </sub>


    "Ha... Even so, what''s the use? When the timees to submit the improved armor, Academician Xu will definitely be disappointed if he doesn''te up with satisfactory work." Zhang Yuan used the reflection of the smooth wall to tidy his hair and spoke in a disdainful tone.


    Feng Qi crossed his arms as he stood by the window and thoughtfully said, "Tsk... I don''t think it''s that simple. Wu Mo isn''t a fool. Doesn''t he know the importance of the mission? I think he''s holding some big trick up his sleeve."


    "Alright, let''s go home. I have an inspiration. I''ll go to theboratory to modify the armor''s frame. Do you want toe with me?"


    Chu Qingyan began to walk around impatiently.


    "Go on, go on. I''ll follow you."


    Everyone then dispersed. The hall on the seventh floor of the research building suddenly fell into silence.


    The sun was warm outside the window, and the trees were swayingfortably in the sunlight.


    Their leaves extended out, and the green grass took away some of the fatigue in people''s eyes.


    Wu Mo stood on the mountain and looked down at the sea of trees. He could not help but sigh.


    "I''ve finally gathered all the materials. After so many days, I''m so tanned."


    He lowered his head and looked at his wheat-colored arms. Compared with the ivory tone under his sleeves, it was extremely discordant.


    [Host, since themission will end in 14 days, please forge the Invisibility Armor as soon as possible.]


    Wu Mo ced thest pair of glowing wings into his Interspatial Ring, and the system''s voice immediately echoed in his mind.


    "I didn''t expect so many days to pass in a sh. It''s time to start forging. My hands are a little rusty."


    As he contemted, his mind began to sink, prepared to enter the forging space.


    However, on second thought, if his mind entered the space and his body remained on the mountain, would he encounter any danger?


    Recognizing the problem, Wu Mo suppressed the anticipation in his heart and quickly walked down the mountain.


    With the help of shoes that could help him speed up, it took him less than 10 minutes to go down the mountain.


    After Wu Mo went down the back mountain, he rushed to his vi.


    On the way, he also met many researchers who were discussing the project.


    The second he got home, Wu Mo closed the courtyard door and immediately headed to his bedroom.


    After he drew the curtains close, he closed his eyes and calmed his mind.


    Hu...


    Following an inexplicable sound, all of Wu Mo''s senses were instantly cut off.


    When he opened his eyes skillfully, there was already chaotic color in front of him.


    Dark purple and ck radiance interweaved, forming a halo that seemed like the beginning of the universe. It was quite mysterious.


    However, Wu Mo could only move around 100 meters around the workbench. If he stepped too far away, he would lose his reference object and get lost in the pure darkness.


    He approached the white workbench.


    Then, with a slight movement of his right hand, rows of materials immediately appeared on the workbench.


    As he looked at theyers of faint light wings, the purple light converged and almost dyed the table purple. It was so beautiful that he could not describe it with words.


    He opened up the forging paper that he had prepared earlier.


    He lifted the brush and lightly drew the first stroke on the slightly yellowed paper.

 Chapter 123 The Forging Process!

    This forging paper was from the Research Department''s warehouse, and it was better than any of the previous ones he had used.


    Not only was the paper thick, but it also emitted constantly light, illuminating the tiniest parts of the ink. It was very suitable for drawing Premium-grade equipment.


    Since Wu Mo already understood the blueprint of the Invisibility Armor, he knew the position and sequence of the strokes.


    Therefore, there was no pause or hesitation in his strokes. Just like a calligrapher, the inking had a style that belonged to him.


    If someone was present at that moment, they would definitely be surprised by the way he drew the blueprint.


    He was creating such smooth strokes on top of absorbing experience from the blueprint. There was also immeasurable experience from his countless times of backtracking.


    He was already familiar with most of the writing methods and did not need to think too much about them.


    About five minutester...


    The design of the Invisibility Armor appeared on the 1.2 m by 0.8 m forging paper.


    Everything, including the energy veins and the shape of the outer frame, was clear.


    The ink was rendered on the paper, and it slowly dried.


    Wu Mo put down the forging pen and turned around to the upgraded furnace''s side.


    Although the surface of the furnace was a dull copper color, its interior was brand new and bright. It was suitable for high-temperature smelting, and its efficiency was much higher than that of an ordinary furnace.


    Wu Mo threw most of the stone and iron materials into the furnace first. Then, he immediately used his mental power to control the furnace''s opening.


    Boom!


    Suddenly, a burst of me shot out and instantly swallowed the material at the center.


    The grayish-brown meteorite spirit stone sizzled under the high temperature. White smoke rose as if it was resisting the corrosion of the me.


    However, Wu Mo had already upgraded the furnace. The current furnace could reach a high temperature of 3,100 degrees, which could melt most materials.


    Of course, Meteorite Spirit Stones were no exception.


    After a while, as the me''s temperature gradually increased, the Meteorite Spirit Stone slowly melted like a piece of sugar. The liquid containing most of the energy was filtered into the liquid-containing device below to further remove impurities.


    Under the continuous high-temperature burning, the ten materials were all melted one by one and refined into energy.


    At this moment, the only thing missing was thest little me to nourish and stabilize the energy within so that it would not be rejected.


    Wu Mo began to adjust the parameters of the mold to ensure that the armor''s frame could be sessfully poured out in one go.


    The melted materials would be mixed with the new materialster and poured into the mold together.


    He would try to seed in one go.


    Soon, Wu Mo finished configuring the mold. He put on heat-insting gloves and took out the crucible that contained the liquid materials.


    The temperature of the liquid in the crucible was still too high, so it needed to be cooled.


    During this free time, Wu Mo took out arge piece of woven fabric and started to cut it. He was waiting for the final armor frame to bepleted before nesting it, so he was more than halfway done.


    Wu Mo had bought the fabric in the points store ording to the requirements on the blueprint.


    Currently, there were no products in the warehouse thatpletely met his requirements.


    That was because Wu Mo needed breathable material. It had to be light, be able to absorb a lot of sweat, and also be anti-fouling.


    Currently, only the Teflon-coatedposite fabric by the system could achieve such an effect.


    However, the price was also heartbreaking. One square meter cost 500 points, and making armor often required more than 51 square meters.


    The price of the fabric alone was about 30,000 points, excluding the protective structure inside, as well as the multi-purposebat effect.


    Even if multiple pieces could be forged at the same time, which could reduce the cost, the price of one piece was still incredibly high.


    However, these were not things that he should be thinking about.


    After all, just the development of thebat module in the early days had cost the Research Department a lot of money.<sub> </sub>


    Very soon, Wu Mo was almost done cutting theposite cloth. He would have to wait for the forging of the mold to finish the stitching.


    At this point, the temperature of the ten liquid materials on the workbench had already dropped a lot.


    Wu Mo picked up the crucible and poured the melted special steel, stabilizing materials, and various mineral liquids into it.


    Then, he covered the mold to let the liquid inside cool down and set the shape.


    The process seemed to be much slower.


    Fortunately, the time flow in the forging space was 100 times slower than outside, so it was not a waste of time.


    Wu Mo did not dally. He prepared to draw a magic array and polish the gemstones that needed to be iid.


    After all, this armor of his had abandoned the multi-functional modules provided by the Research Department and was much lighter than the others.


    To achieve the multi-functionalbat effect, he could only use magic arrays and ore iys.


    About half an hourter, the mold machine made a dripping sound.


    In the quiet forging space where a pin drop could be heard, it provided a hint of life.


    Wu Mo lifted the lid and found a still warm armor frame lying quietly in the mold.


    The armor was like the skeleton of a human body. It provided all kinds of protection so that energy could be transferred to every part.


    The armor was still a little red, but it was generally dark gray in color.


    Wu Mo ced it on the workbench and began to fix theposite fabric on the frame.


    Wu Mo had only done this process on the Mercury Cloak before, so he was a little unfamiliar with it. After roughly ten minutes, theposite fabricpletely fused with the frame, and the prototype of the armor took shape.


    However, it looked more like a bulletproof vest on the surface.


    His next task was clear. It was to draw a magic array on the dark green clothes to give it additional effects.


    After all, it was Epic-grade armor. It had to have at least three equipment effects, or else it would not have passed the test.


    Wu Mo nned to draw a Tier 2 magic array, the Valiant Array.


    It would be used to increase the wearer''sbat strength.


    In the past, he might not have been able to draw it, but in the past month, he had read many masters'' notes and books.


    He had alreadyprehended most of the knowledge.


    As for why he was unable to draw a Tier 3 array, it was because his current spirit power did not allow it.


    He threw the materials needed to draw the array into the furnace to temper it.


    After a while, a red fluid came out of the lid, mixed with some yellow powder.


    Once he dipped the forging pen in it, Wu Mo started drawing.


    When he made the framework earlier, he did not make any mistakes because of his experience and the blueprint''s directions.


    Now, on the other hand, he did not have the slightest experience with this array. He could only rely on his current knowledge to draw.


    The formation was about 70%pleted when he made a mistake, directly blowing a hole in theposite weave.


    ''Backtrack,'' Wu Mo muttered helplessly in his heart.


    A white light shed in front of his eyes, and the fabric on the armor''s surface was restored to its original state.


    He pushed down the messy thoughts in his mind and continued to draw.


    This time, he cast away the distracting thoughts in his mind and drew without any scruples.


    At the end of his drawing, a small problem urred. The drawing deviated by half an inch, causing the energy to be unstable and the array to directly burn.


    Despite that, Wu Mo''s face lit up as if he hadpletely understood it.

 Chapter 124 Forging Completed

    He could not wait and chose to backtrack. This time, he was not as cautious as before, nor did he act rashly the second time. His strokes were natural and smooth.


    Seven to eight minutester, he finished thest stroke on the armor.


    The armor in front of him suddenly emitted a crimson glow.


    Besides, Wu Mo also felt that more than half of the spirit energy in his mind had been drained!


    "It''s finally done."


    As Wu Mo looked at the shining armor, the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile.


    Wiping the sweat off his forehead, he continued with his work.


    Now that the Valiant Array had been drawn, he only needed toplete the iys and runes.


    He did not ask the warehouse staff for the stones used for the iys but nned to buy them with points.


    After all, the materials listed by the system were the most suitable for the Invisibility Armor. However, the Research Department often did not have them in stock.


    Besides, it would not be suitable if he asked for too much either. It was inevitable that he would bebeled as a material hoarder.


    Therefore, he finished exchanging his general points for the iys.


    <o>,m A high-quality ore that provided energy cost him 500 points.</o>


    Of course, there was also the Moonlight Dust that could block the light of Divine weapons. It also cost him 100 points.


    Fortunately, he still had a lot of points left, so the cost was not a big deal.


    After preparing the remaining materials, he immediately began to set them up.


    At the same time, he drew a Spirit Transformation Array and ced the Epic Essence that he had obtained from the materials warehouse.


    Wisps of purple light were extracted from the Essence, and under the array''s effect, they quickly seeped into the Invisibility Armor on the workbench.


    This processsted for about 10 minutes.


    Right then, the Epic Essence, which was worth £¤800,000 had turned into pure white mineral crystals. The energy inside had long been used up.


    Wu Mo began to make an ore slot on the armor''s chest. In addition, he used the energy as a pen to join the energy supply vein with the previous frame.


    At this point, as long as he pressed the ore on, he would pretty muchplete the embedding step.


    The ore that he had purchased from the points store was the size of a fist, and its weight reached one kilogram.


    Its appearance was gray and did not have the luster of a gemstone at all.


    However, that was the characteristic of ore-like stones. While its surface was wrapped in stone, and the center part was what Wu Mo needed.


    First, he used the cutting machine on the workbench to cut the stones into smaller irregr shapes.


    Then, he threw the remaining piece into the furnace and used a high-temperature me to burn its surface. Finally, dark blue light prated through the cracks and lit up almost the entire furnace.


    He took the ore out and rubbed it gently. The stone outside had been burned into powder.


    The blue ore was immediately exposed to the air, and the blue gemstone soony quietly in his palm.


    It was as beautiful as a firefly in a summer bush!


    Wu Mo ced the gemstone into the groove on the armor and pressed it lightly.


    With a click, the gemstone was embedded.


    In the next second, the blue light immediately followed the energy supply vein and extended to every inch of the armor, covering it with ayer of gentle brilliance.


    Hu...


    He was stillcking the runes and thest concealment process.<sub> </sub>


    Wiping the sweat from the tip of his nose, Wu Mo picked up the forging pen and prepared to carve thest rune.


    This time, he was prepared to add a Tier 2 rune to the armor¡ªSorrow.


    The purpose was to make the armor more outstanding in actualbat.


    Although such a cumbersome processing method of the armor was difficult to directly apply to its distribution on the battlefield, it could still be used as a reference or even as a preliminary version.


    During this period of time, Wu Mo had almostpletely understood theplete runic collection that he had purchased from the system''s store. Only a portion of the Tier 3 runes was left, and he still could notprehend their profoundness.


    However, he was already a qualified person in the runic aspect of the forging field. Now that he had sufficient experience and technology, it was inevitable for his hands to itch. He wanted to have a real battle.


    After preparing the materials, he picked up the pen and prepared to draw runes on the forging paper.


    The Sorrow rune was considered one of the more difficult ones among the Tier 2 runes, and the materials required were not few. Wu Mo stood in front of the workbench, holding the forging pen in his hand and closing his eyes in deep thought.


    A momentter, he already had a feel of the pen''s strength and techniques in his mind.


    He immediately applied it to real battle situations.


    The dark gray ink pen left a trace of ink on the forging paper. Wu Mo slowly exerted strength in his arm and drew an amulet head with the momentum of flowing clouds and water.


    He merged the vigor into the amulet''s body.


    At this point in the drawing, Wu Mo could clearly feel that his spirit power was empty, and his vision became a little blurry.


    Actually, it was not that Wu Mo''s spirit power was insufficient, but that he had added many processes to the armor, striving to make it the best.


    It was the result of Wu Mo''s perfectionism.


    He noticed that his spirit power wascking, so he immediately exchanged his points for a bottle of spirit medicine from the shop and drank tons of it.


    Today, he had spent more than 1000 points, which was more than £¤200,000 in cash.


    He felt a chill prate his throat and flow to his limbs and bones.


    A quiet aura lingered around his body, speeding up the recovery of his spirit power.


    Wu Mo''s spirit was roused, and he subconsciously said, "I should still forge a piece of equipment that can increase my spirit power. Drinking potions alone is not a long-term solution."


    He threw the empty bottle into a box at the side. It was originally a ce to store small materials, but now it was being used as a trash can.


    There were also many potions that he had drunk when forging Mjolnir. Now, they were almost piled up to the height of a small hill!


    He then continued drawing the runes.


    Wu Mo leaned forward slightly, and the tip of the pen started to rotate again.


    After a while, a rhythm of ingenious craftsmanship slowly melted on the forging paper. The final inkblot was left in a hurry, leaving behind a trace of regret.


    With that, the drawing of the runes came to an end.


    When he looked at the armor again, there was suddenly a trace of crystal mist on the surface, as though it was protected by some mysterious energy.


    Wu Mo forcefully suppressed the urge to check its attributes. He summoned Mjolnir from his ring. Then, he picked up a wing on the side and ced it on the armor''s shoulder. He began to use the thunder god''s hammer to strike.


    The purple wing immediately became translucent after it was attached to the armor.


    This was the most time-consuming part of the process. However, Wu Mo had a n in mind, so he was ecstatic when he started to make progress. In just ten minutes, more than half the wings were attached to the armor.


    Only about 30% of the area was left. It was still exposed to air, but once he was done, it would be invisible.


    By now, Wu Mo was a little excited. At the same time, he was looking forward to Mjolnir giving the armor an additional equipment effect.


    The wings were arranged in a row, like the sparkling light on the surface of ake, reflecting different rays of light.


    Not long after, thest wing was stuck to the corner of the robe. All the rays of light were integrated into one, and the armor wasplete.

 Chapter 125 Eve Of The Test

    Wu Mo was extremely satisfied as he stroked the smooth surface of the wings and felt the coolness on his fingertips.


    [Ding... The Invisibility Armor has been sessfully forged. It took 4 hours and 27 minutes in the forging space.]


    Hearing the system''s announcement, the smile on Wu Mo''s face immediately melted.


    He could not wait any longer and said, "System, identify the attributes of the Invisibility Armor."


    [Beep... Authenticationpleted. As the Invisibility Armor was created by the host, identification will not consume any points. The attributes are as follows:


    [Equipment Type: Armor


    [Equipment Name: Invisibility Armor


    [Equipment Grade: Epic


    [System Score: 69 points.


    [Equipment Effect: 1. Meteorite (steal 10% of the target''s spirit power and convert it into wearer''s own air shield. Defense will be affected by the amount of spirit power taken. Cooldown: 1 day)


    [2. Solid Defense (reduces 65% of physical and spiritual damage.)


    [3. Void Strike (increases the wearer''s movement speed in the air by 30%)


    [4. Invisibility pletely conceals one''s movements. The effect disappears after receiving an attack.)


    [Valiant Array (increases the wearer''s attack and movement speed by 25% when encountering enemies within 100 meters. Lasts up to 30 minutes. Cooldown: 1 hour)


    [Rune Effect: Sorrow (when the wearerunches an attack, it will deal 1.5 times the damage to the enemy for the first time. Cooldown: 10 minutes)


    [Equipment Evaluation: This armor is very suitable for cultivators in life-or-death battles. It has many functions and powerful features. The only drawback is its extremely high cost.]


    Looking at the translucent item before him, Wu Mo could not help but feel excited about the equipment''s attributes and evaluation.


    Wu Mo could not contain his joy.


    Although he had forged Divine weapons before, he still could not suppress the excitement in his heart when he saw the Epic-grade battle armor that he had personally made.


    The battle armor was currently lying quietly on the workbench, constantly emitting a mysterious purple light.


    "Oh, right, there''s still one more piece of work that hasn''t beenpleted."


    Wu Mo was not quite used to the dazzling light.


    He took out a handful of Moonlight Dust from his ring and lightly sprinkled it on the battle armor.


    As the light gray dust floated down, the purple light was covered.


    Even the translucent wings on the surface of the battle armor becamepletely transparent and stuck to the battle armor as if they did not exist.


    After the light surface was covered, the battle armor suddenly appeared normal.


    It was like amonly-seen neb camouge suit, but the sapphire on its chest seemed a little out of ce.


    Wu Mo picked up the armor and shook it lightly. In the next moment, the wings attached to the suit changed angles, directly reflecting the surrounding light onto the wings.


    The armor''s original camouge color instantly disappeared, and only the corner of Wu Mo''s hand was still visible.


    Theplementary light made the armor seem non-existent,pletely concealing its tracks.


    "Gasp... It really can be invisible."


    Wu Mo smoothed the wings on the suit, and the camouge color was revealed again.


    "Phew, it''s finally done."


    He stored the armor his Interspatial Ring in satisfaction.


    Then, he immediately recited the words in his heart and exited the silent Forging Space.


    He was in a trance for a moment before he heard a series of small sounds.<sub> </sub>


    Sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains, and the cries of various birds seeped through the window and gently reached his ears.


    Rubbing his somewhat dull face, Wu Mo stood up from the bedside and walked to the kitchen.


    The sound of his stomach growling made him feel a little emotional.


    Thesest few days, he had not been livingfortably. He had been exposed to the sun and wind every day, and his skin had be a few degrees darker. He had not eaten a single fresh meal.


    He took out a few fruits and bread from the refrigerator. Wu Mo nned to have a meal at noon and then go to the canteen to have a good meal in the evening.


    A gray zebra finch stood on the courtyard''s wall. It tilted its head and looked at Wu Mo, who was sitting in the living room. It opened its ck beak and flew away in the blink of an eye.


    Over in the Research Department''s westernboratory, Zhou Ning was preparing to test the defense of the next piece of armor.


    There were only two days left before the project was due to bemissioned. Aside from Wu Mo, the other four members of the assault team had alreadypleted their work and were submitting it to her for testing. If there were no problems, that would be the final version.


    Following two months of revision, they finallypleted the improved version.


    "Testingpleted. Defense Index: 65."


    A sound came from the machine. Zhou Ning immediately took out the armor that had been exposed to the rays. After seeing the results, she could not help but feel relieved.


    ''After three revisions, Lai Hua''s work has finally scored above the passing mark,'' she mumbled in her heart.


    Just as she was about to proceed to the next round of testing, her phone rang.


    Zhou Ning put down the armor and answered the call immediately.


    "Hello, Assistant Zhou. My armor is ready too. If it''s convenient, please help me arrange a session for testing as well."


    On the other side, Wu Mo was lying in the yard and reading a brand-new notebook while speaking.


    Zhou Ning almost could not recall who he was when she heard his unfamiliar voice.


    She had been so busy these past few days that she nearly forgot that there was such a person on the assault team.


    "Well... I thought you forgot about themission. What have you been doing for so many days? Now that you''ve only produced your first edition, even if the test brings up any problems, will you have the time to revise it?" Zhou Ning sat at the side and said in a slightly displeased tone.


    To think that Wu Mo had that confident look on his face back then. His true face waspletely different!


    "Assistant Zhou, don''t worry. The armor that I''ve made is my final version. For safety reasons, I''ll have to trouble you to test it."


    Wu Mo sounded indifferent, which was a great contrast to Zhou Ning.


    "Forget it. As long as you know the stakes that are involved, it''s fine. Where are you? How do I find you?"


    Zhou Ning sighed internally. Even now, she was not sure if Wu Mo would be able to produce an eptable modified armor.


    "I''m at home. You''re wee to visit anytime," Wu Mo joked.


    "Okay, I''ll meet you in the afternoon."


    Zhou Ning hung up and pursed her red lips. For some reason, she was looking forward to seeing Wu Mo''s armor.


    She wanted to see whether the other party was truly proud of his talent or just acting on the surface.


    ...


    Two dayster, On the day the B-levelmission was handed over, the entire Research Department was shrouded in ayer of tension.


    There were more than a dozen groups of research teams that had been entrusted with thismission. All of the teams'' work would undergo an initial selection. After weighing various factors, the most outstanding work would be selected to be the tenth-generation standard battle suit!


    However, many of these research teams were just like Wu Mo''s assault team. They were merely running around to train their own strength. The ones who had a chance of being selected were the core groups with academicians.


    Nevertheless, everyone was still looking forward to the selection.


    After all, plenty of leaders would be present. If they could create excellent works, the leaders would likely value them, and they would be researchers who could truly take charge of their own affairs.

 Chapter 126 Leader Wei Lan

    The test was being held at 1.00 pm.


    At that moment, Wu Mo, who was reading at home, also received a notice from Zhou Ning''s assistant.


    "At 1.00 pm, all members of the assault team will gather at the research building''s testing site. Academician Xu and Professor Liu will drop by to check on everyone."


    Looking at the information on the National Artifact Research Department''s website, Wu Mo stretched his body.


    Then, he turned around excitedly on the recliner.


    Rubbing his eyes, he put down the book in his hand and muttered, "It''s finally time for the test. I''ve been so free these two days that I almost fell sick."


    Assistant Zhou Ning had sent his equipment back yesterday afternoon. With a strange look on her face, she mentioned that the test had beenpleted and there were no problems for the time being.


    However, Wu Mo did not take it seriously. After all, he knew the effects of the equipment that he had personally made better than those test machines.


    It was purely a formality.


    Before he knew it, afternoon came.


    After Wu Mo went to the cafeteria to finish his meal, he walked toward the testing site.


    The testing site was a one-story building. The area inside was not small, and there were numerous pieces of equipment for testing.


    It was more professional than the research building. Usually, it would only be opened for use when researching secret Divine weapons.


    It was not surprising that the principal had set the ce up for project delivery.


    Bathing in the beautiful scenery, Wu Mo soon arrived at the entrance of the testing ground.


    At that moment, a few people were standing outside the testing ground chatting with each other. They were the other members of the assault team.


    "Bros, you''re here so early?"


    Lai Hua walked over from not far away. When he saw Chu Qingyan and Feng Qi, he immediately spoke to them with a smile.


    "That''s right. It''s the day of the test. We''ve been so busy these two months. Hasn''t it all been for today?" Chu Qingyan said with a sigh as he held a ck box.


    "It looks like everyone''s very confident. I wonder who in our group will be able to get the academician and professor''s recognition," Feng Qi said eagerly.


    His voice was slightly distorted due to his excitement.


    Just then, Zhang Yuan walked over quickly with a dark brown bag on his back and said, "Hello, everyone. Assistant Zhou says that she''ll be here soon. She''s asking us to wait for a moment."


    "Yo, Zhang Yuan, your attempt at being secretive is working. We can''t even see its shape," Lai Hua immediately teased him with a smile.


    "Stop fooling around..."


    Zhang Yuan waved his hand before he seemed to recall something. "Oh right, you''ve probably seen the news on the official website. I heard that the National Artifact Research Department is going to hold a military-foundry exchange conference soon, and when the timees..."


    "It''s equivalent to furthering our studies. Who knows, we might be able to learn some ultimate skills. However, there are so many strong cksmiths, and we''ve just broken through to the five-star realm. How can wepare to the people from the headquarters?" Lai Hua immediately pointed out.


    "Let''s not focus on that now. We shouldplete the current task that''s been entrusted to us. After that, we can take on more core projects to train our abilities. If our abilities aren''t good enough, even if we go to the headquarters, we''ll be the lowest-ranking students."


    Chu Qingyan pulled open the ss door and walked into the testing grounds. Feng Qi nodded and immediately followed.


    Wu Mo in calmly as well, and the four people on the testing field instantly looked at Wu Mo with inexplicable expressions.


    "Ah... I didn''t expect our little brother, Wu Mo, to actually finish his work. Not bad!" Feng Qi raised his eyebrows and said with some surprise.


    "Yesterday, Brother Wu Mo already passed the test conducted by Assistant Zhou. He must have something."<sub> </sub>


    Chu Qingyan smiled at Wu Mo. Her gaze was friendly.


    "It seems that Wu Mo found inspiration when he went to the back mountain to gather materials. He actuallypleted his product so quickly. Congrattions."


    Lai Hua grinned.


    However, Zhang Yuan, who was standing in the distance, let out a cold snort. But he could not deny it.


    "It appears that everyone has arrived ahead of time!"


    At that moment, someone opened the ss door to the test field. Zhou Ning, who was wearing a white t-shirt and gray sweatpants, walked in quickly.


    Her long ck hair fluttered over her shoulders,plimenting her rather cold and delicate facial features. Coupled with her capable and forthright personality, Zhou Ning exuded a beautiful and valiant temperament.


    The atmosphere was rxed as the crowd chatted for a while. Most of them were talking about subjects rted to their work in the past two months.


    Wu Mo had not participated in the discussion and brainstorming, so he did not have anything to say on such topics. He stood silently to the side.


    Soon, it was one o''clock. Everyone came to the door to wee the important guests. At this time, Academician Xu, who was wearing a gray suit, slowly walked toward the door.


    A professor in a shirt and a pair of trousers was next to him. There was a lot of gray mixed in the professor''s hair, and he was a few years older than the academician.


    The two of them chatted as they walked. When they reached the door, the atmosphere in the entire research room became heavy.


    "Academician Xu, Professor Liu, you can proceed inside... The final test of themissioned work will begin immediately."


    Zhou Ning rushed forward and spoke respectfully.


    "Well... seeing that all the researchers are confident that they have made an excellent product, the two of us will be looking forward to it."


    Soon, Academician Xu and Professor Liu took their seats.


    During this time, Xu Wuyue deliberately took a few more nces at Wu Mo. When he noticed that the boy''s expression was calm, he had some premonitions in his heart.


    Soon, it was one o''clock in the afternoon.


    A silvermercial car drove over from a distance and finally stopped at the test field''s entrance.


    In a sh, two fully-armed cultivators got out of the car, followed by a middle-aged man wearing a casual Poto shirt.


    The man was in his fifties. His skin was wheat-colored, and there was a heroic air in the way his brows were spaced. His eyes, in particr, made him seem like someone who looked down on the world!


    The two high-level cultivators followed the middle-aged man closely, and Zhou Ning quickly helped to open the ss door for them.


    Even Academician Xu and Professor Liu stood up and greeted their leaders respectfully.


    "Minister Wei."


    "Sir Wei."


    The academician and professor with high positions in the Research Department bowed at this moment. That was enough to show the authority of this middle-aged man with the surname Wei.


    Everyone was also excited. For so long, Academician Xu had been the highest authority they had ever seen. Now that a big leader was there on the test field, they knew that the leader would acknowledge the one who created the best work among the five of them.


    Perhaps the best one could even get a ce to exchange ideas with the headquarters, and from there, he would rise to the top.


    Hence, once the team members understood this principle, they grew even more excited. They wanted to surpass the others and stand out the most!


    "Hehe, Academician Xu, Professor Liu, and fellow researchers, you''ve waited for a long time. I heard from Academician Xu that all of you joined the fifth division not long ago. I''m looking forward to your first research work," Wei Lan said with a smile as he looked at the team members in front of him.

 Chapter 127 The First Tester

    "Well... since Minister Wei has arrived, let''s begin themission review," Academician Xu said softly.


    Zhou Ning immediately nodded. "Okay, all the team members'' works have gone through a simple test yesterday, and three of them have achieved good results.


    "I hope that in today''s review, everyone can speak about their own design ideas, as well as the technology to forge their armor. After that, I will help with testing the various attributes."


    Speaking of which, Zhou Ning pointed at three machines that were running at the side. They were the defense tester, the environment simtor, and the density analyzer.


    The three machines could analyze the various attributes of a piece of armor and its performance in different scenarios.


    It was much more professional than the testing machines in the researchboratory.


    Professor Liu was very satisfied with Zhou Ning''s exnation and immediately said, "Alright, the test will begin now. Feng Qi will be the first one."


    Feng Qi''s heartbeat instantly sped up when his name was called. It was as if he was back in school, being called by his teacher.


    As the three high-ranking leaders gazed at him, he immediately walked out of the line and opened his box on the table. He took out a silver armor.


    The silver armor had good toughness on the surface, and it also had some sticity. The shadow of the core module could be seen in the central area, and it looked very cool on the surface.


    Feng Qi took a deep breath and met the expectant gazes of the crowd. Then, he quickly introduced his work, "Sir, this is the improved armor that I''ve forged. The material of this armor is made of polyester and spandexposite textiles. Not only can it resist pollution, but it can also effectively block attacks and other damage. This armor was also forged using the folding forging technique to maximize its defensive ability."


    After he finished, Academician Xu and Professor Liu nodded slightly with faint surprise on their faces.


    With just a few words, they knew the focus of his improvement. His choice of the armor''s material was especially daring. He actually thought of theposite weaving of those two materials.


    It was considered not bad.


    "Your forging skills are indeed not bad. Next, let''s test the armor''s performance in various situations."


    Wei Lan praised him softly and ordered themencement of the tests.


    Zhou Ning immediately picked up the armor and ced it on the first machine to test the armor''s defense.


    The defense machine would simte various attacks and constantly observe the armor''s situation, ensuring that the wear-and-tear rate was within one thousandth.


    The rumbling sound of the machine''s operation rang out. Feng Qi stared at the disy screen with some excitement, wanting to see how many points he would get for his proudest work.


    The rest were also looking forward to it. Although they all focused on different angles of improvement, the points for Feng Qi''s masterpiece would provide them with a point of reference.


    Beep beep...


    The machine slowly stopped working, and the conveyor belt sent the armor out without any damage.


    [Improved Model: 70, Ninth Generation: 58.]


    The numbers on the screen made Feng Qi sigh in relief.


    He had focused on defense when improving the armor. If he failed this project, there would be no need for further tests.


    The other students on the team could not help but exim in surprise. They did not expect the ninth-generationbat suit to score less than 60 defense points. It seemed that the old armor''s strength was its lightness and versatility!


    "Hehe... not bad. Seventy points is almost up there on the level of heavy armor," Academician Xu said with a smile.


    Professor Liu, who was beside him, also showed an expression of approval.


    Wei Lan nodded slightly. He did not praise or criticize the armor. The most important thing in a standard armor was not its defense ability, so improving its defense was only improving part of its ability. The focus should be concealment, convenience, versatility, and breathability, so he did not express any opinions for the time being.<sub> </sub>


    "Next, we will measure the performance of Feng Qi''s armor in all kinds of extreme situations!" Zhou Ning exined before she immediately put the silver armor in the simtor.


    The simtor would simte rainy weather, prolonged battles, hidden situations, and diverse scenarios that would ur on the battlefield. As such, the attributes and effects of the armor would be analyzed from multiple angles.


    This process usuallysted for a few minutes.


    At that moment, Feng Qi was a little nervous standing in front of everyone. He was not sure if his armor would be able to withstand such aplicated battle.


    A few minutes passed in the blink of an eye. A sizzling sound came from the simtor, and the simtion inside started to end.


    Everyone looked over expectantly. The conveyor belt transported the armor out, but the armor''s originally bright and beautiful surface had be a mess.


    It was covered in mud, sweat, and blood as if someone had really fought in the suit.


    Beep beep...


    The screen on the simtor lit up, and a string of numbers immediately appeared on it.


    [Simtion results:


    [Comfort - Improved Model: 64 points, Ninth Generation: 61 points.


    [Perspiration Absorption - Improved Model: 42 points, Ninth Generation: 57 points.


    [Breathability - Improved Model: 39 points, Ninth Generation: 70 points.


    [Stealth - Improved Model: 77 points, Ninth Generation: 72 points.


    [Battle Evaluation - Improved Model: 71 points, Ninth Generation: 70 points.]


    Everyone had different expressions when they saw the series of test results.


    A few team members did not notice anything wrong at the moment. They only felt that it scored a little badly in perspiration absorption and breathability. Despite that, this silver armor was still better than the ninth generation in other fields. It should be considered pretty good.


    Zhou Ning''s expression was the same as usual. It seemed that he had already anticipated the problem.


    Right then, Academician Xu and Liu''s appeared disappointed. They shook their heads helplessly.


    Wei Lan stared at the test data on the screen and suddenly frowned. He looked at Feng Qi and said in a heavy tone, "You should know what the original request was, right? We need lightweight, multi-functional, stealthy, and breathablebat suits to help the cultivators on the front lines betterplete their mission!"


    Feng Qi''s expression changed slightly. He was a little nervous, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.


    "Minister Wei, my battle armor is indeed multi-functional and stealthy. Moreover, the armor only weighs 1400 grams. It''s very lightweight."


    He gritted his teeth and continued. "It just has one problem: Its airflow is a little bad!"


    "A little bad?" Wei Lan asked in return and shook his head in disappointment at the same time.


    "Team member, do you know how important airflow is to a battle uniform? Cultivators on the battlefield often need to wear abat suit for at least six hours. Do you think this problem will not affect the soldiers'' performance?"


    "They often have to fight against monsters of all races. Even if they have spirit power, they will still consume a lot of energy. Does it feel good when sweat umtes on the surface of the skin?"


    Every word that Wei Lan said felt like nails, embarrassing Feng Qi instantly.

 Chapter 128 New Materials

    He never paid too much attention to the issue of breathability. He only wanted to increase his armor''s defense as much as possible and increase its speed, so he ignored the issue.


    "Twenty years ago, we fought for a long time on the battlefield of ten thousand races. Since ourbat suits were not breathable, sweat stuck to our clothes and pores, causing various body problems such as red rashes. That indirectly led us to lose three six-star cultivators and more than twenty five-star cultivators in that battle. We suffered a great loss before those thousands of monsters!"


    The muffled sound of thunder rang out in the testing field.


    Feng Qi''s face immediately turned red with shame as he stood in front of everyone.


    He was only a cksmith doing research in a safe city. He had no idea what the situation on the front line was, or what the cultivators needed in such armor.


    He just followed his own train of thought.


    At that moment, the team members standing at the side began to feel nervous too. Their hearts beat faster, and they were shocked by the severity of Minister Wei''s attitude.


    They were all worried that they would be treated the same after they entered the field.


    Seeing Feng Qi''s ashamed expression, Wei Lan''s gaze gradually became gentler.


    "The reason why this standard armor has to be updated frequently is to give the cultivators on the front line morefort so that they can unleash their strongestbat strength. At the same time, it will reduce the number of casualties. When cultivators fight the fierce beasts, they fight with their lives on the line every second. If the armor isn''t breathable, it will definitely affect their performance."


    His voice was gentle like that of a teacher, and he earnestly said, "We, the cksmiths in a safe city, have the core philosophy of designing battle armors. It is to put people first and try our best to design the best armors that are most suitable for the crowd."


    Wei Lan''s words made the team fall into deep thought. Even Academician Xu and Professor Liu lowered their heads slightly as if they were contemting.


    "Alright... This is only your first time forging standard equipment. You will inevitably make mistakes, but I believe that you will definitely forge better equipment next time." He chuckled.


    Feng Qi bowed deeply and quickly turned around to return to the team.


    "Hmm... next, Lai Hua!"


    Professor Liu picked up the name list and read out the next name.


    Right then, Lai Hua, whose name had been read, stopped smiling and immediately walked out of the group with a serious expression.


    He was carrying a military-green box in his hand and immediately walked up to the leader. He ced the box on the table and opened it.


    Academician Xu and Professor Liu poked their heads out a little and looked over expectantly.


    There was a loose ck armor in the open box. Lai Hua took out the armor and showed it to everyone.


    "Leaders, this is the improved armor that I, Lai Hua, have made," hesaid excitedly.


    The ck armor was rtively loose. Each arm had a pocket and a slot for a tactical pen.


    There were also multi-purpose pockets on the front and back of the chest, which could store all kinds of equipment and materials needed.


    The outer thigh area was where individual rations could be stored, and the lower thigh area would be used for medical alcohol, bandages, and other medical supplies.


    One could say that it had a very practical design.


    Wu Mo could tell with just a nce.


    It must have gone through a meticulous design process to reach this stage.


    "The design looks pretty good..." Professor Liu smiled andmented.


    Wei Lan nodded slightly and waited for Lai Hua''s description.


    "Dear leaders, my armor is made of fiber with four grooves. Not only will it maintain a cold feeling for a long time, but it will dry sweat four times faster than ordinary cloth. The armor''s inner frame was made using decarbonization. That has made it very tough and able to absorb kic energy, reducing damage to the wearer!" Lai Hua calmly introduced his improvement ideas and forging techniques.


    "Hmm... he actually incorporated such bold ideas like decarbonization. Not bad."


    Academician Xu''s eyes revealed a trace of surprise. He did not expect Lai Hua to know about this rtively ancient forging technique.


    "CLM materials are rarely used on officialbat suits. This is a considerably bold attempt. This student is daring enough to do it, so his spirit ismendable."


    Both of them praised Lai Hua from different aspects.


    Everyone''s gaze was on Minister Wei because they wanted to see what kind ofments this leader would give.<sub> </sub>


    "Not bad. Let''s proceed with the test first. Look at the data."


    Wei Lan waved his hand and did not say anything else.


    "Yes, Sir."


    Zhou Ning immediately took the ck armor from Lai Hua''s hand and walked toward the first defense tester.


    She ced the armor in the tester and waited for a few seconds.


    Beep beep.


    Soon, the machinepleted the test and the score popped up on the screen.


    [Defense testpleted. Improved Model: 64 points, Ninth Generation: 58 points.]


    The test machine''s result was not out of everyone''s expectations.


    While the fabric with four grooves was soft and rare, it did not have any defensive ability. It passed the test entirely because its frame yed a defensive role. An additional defensive formation might have also been ced.


    Zhou Ning did not stop what she was doing. First, she recorded the results in her office book, and then she continued the simtion test.


    One would truly understand the armor''s various properties and performances through the simtion test. The defense test was only to determine the armor''s energy supply and its grade.


    The process would only be done after it passed Minister Wei''s examination.


    Three minutes passed quickly. Everyone looked expectantly at the instrument that neared the end of its examination.


    Chi...


    As the airlock opened up, the armor that was full of stains was immediately sent out.


    Seeing his own work in such a miserable state, Lai Hua felt a faint pang in his heart.


    Fortunately, this test would not affect its performance. He quickly collected himself and stared at the screen that had yet to light up.


    Beep beep...


    [The date has been calcted and listed.


    [Simtion results:


    [Comfort - Improved Model: 69 points, Ninth Generation: 61 points.


    [Perspiration Absorption - Improved Model: 80 points, Ninth Generation: 57 points.


    [Breathability - Improved Model: 77 points, Ninth Generation: 70 points.


    [Stain Resistance - Improved Model: 60 points, Ninth Generation: 62 points.


    [Stealth - Improved Model: 73 points, Ninth Generation: 72 points.


    [Battle Evaluation - Improved Model: 70 points, Ninth Generation: 70 points.]


    This series of data disyed the six dimensions of the armor''s performance vividly.


    The excellent data in the first three attributes, especially, reflected the four-groove material''s excellent performance.


    Ordinary threads had rounded heads. They umted moisture and would not dry for a long time after absorbing sweat.


    As for the four-groove thread, it was in the shape of a cross. The four grooves could drain water extremely fast like high-speed trains.


    Although it was not exceptional in terms ofbat and stain resistance, it was already considered a very good improvement n.


    Several of the team members were a little apprehensive. They were worried that Lai Hua would be chosen and they would directly lose the opportunity to show off.

 Chapter 129 Chu Qingyans Masterpiece

    However, when they looked at Minister Wei, they found that the leader still did not appear satisfied.


    "This student..."


    Wei Lan stared at Lai Hua with a serious gaze.


    Thetter''s heart tightened, and his entire body felt hot.


    "Minister Wei, what did I do wrong? Please let me know."


    "Well, let me ask you, how much is a square meter of your four-groove cloth?"


    Seeing Lai Hua''s sincere attitude, Wei Lan softened his tone.


    "Forty thousand."


    Lai Hua finally understood what Minister Wei was dissatisfied with, but it was toote for him to make any more changes, so he could only tell the truth.


    After he said the number, the people around him immediately widened their eyes.


    Wow, a rich second-generation kid was on their team. The fabric alone was worth £¤40,000. Would an armor not cost at least £¤1,000,000?


    Wu Mo rubbed his nose guiltily. If Minister Wei discovered that his armor was more extravagant, would he not die in public?


    After all, hisposite fabric cost £¤30,000 per meter, and the gemstones, as well as materials, embedded in it were expensive.


    Compared with Lai Hua''s ck armor, it was not much cheaper.


    However, despite the expensive materials, the increase in attributes and effects was much higher, so the price had been put to good use.


    Heforted himself in this way.


    "Mm, it''s good that you understand your mistakes. Our tenth-generationbat suit needs to be assembled on arge scale. We will need at least 100,000 pieces. If it''s manufactured ording to your budget, I''m afraid that the entire Research Department will burn through its military funds before it can forge anything."


    Wei Lan waved his hand as he spoke, indicating that Lai Hua could leave.


    Lai Hua replied in a low voice and took his work back to the team.


    Two people had failed consecutively, which undoubtedly put more pressure on the remaining members.


    The test field was filled with a heavy atmosphere. Academician Xu sighed slowly, feeling somewhat disappointed too.


    "Next... Chu Qingyan," Professor Liu said casually.


    Chu Qingyan promptly stepped out.


    He was wearing ck mittens and carrying a box in his hand. At a nce, its appearance gave off a mysterious feeling.


    Chu Qingyan walked out with a calm expression. Then, he opened the ck box, revealing a light brown armor inside.


    The armor had smooth lines, and it was well-cut. Not only had he strengthened the elbow pads, but he had also ced tworge pockets on the front. They could be used to hide objects while lying down.


    Just as Chu Qingyan took out his work, Professor Liu, who was sitting at the side, instantly fixed his gaze on it. He seemed surprised that a graduate student coulde up with such a developed piece of work.


    Academician Xu''s expression also revealed a hint of anticipation. He wanted to see how this design would perform in all the dimensions.


    "Dear leaders, this is the armor that I have forged. Its overall weight is only 1.5 kilograms, and it''s incredibly suitable for reconnaissance and other needs. The armor''s surface is made of high-molecr nylon material that has a me-retardant effect. On top of being highly resistant to pollution, it also has good wear resistance. Wearing it for a long time will not cause damage."


    Chu Qingyan caressed the light brown armor with love.


    "As for the forging method, I''m partial to the older carburizing process. It makes the inner core of the armor more resilient and is simultaneously beneficial for energy transmission."


    His voice was like flowing water, transporting his ideas and improvement n to the others.


    Hearing this, Wei Lan nodded slightly and seemed unexpectedly calm.


    "As expected of Professor Tan''s closed-door student. His forging technique is much more familiar than that of his peers."


    Looking at the armor that was smoothly ced before him, Wei Lan''s lips curled up slightly as he sighed.


    When the surrounding people heard what he said, something immediately dawned upon them.<sub> </sub>


    Over the past few months, they had never heard Chu Qingyan mention that he was any professor''s student.


    They did not expect him to be so secretive about himself!


    At that moment, Zhang Yuan, who was standing behind Chu Qingyan, had an ugly expression on his face. He never thought he would meet the student of a certain professor in this test. Chu Qingyan''s existence was seriously hindering his development!


    However, Wu Mo still looked calm. He was not surprised by Chu Qingyan''s background.


    "Thank you for your praise. I only learned a little from Professor Tan."


    Chu Qingyan immediately cupped his hands humbly.


    "Mm... Let''s test its effects first," Wei Lan sat up straight and said with anticipation.


    Zhou Ning immediately went forward and ced the armor into the defense testing machine.


    Following a series of rumbling sounds, the machine tested the armor as usual.


    In a few seconds, the results for the defense score were out, and the data shocked everyone.


    [Improved Model: 73 points, Ninth Generation: 58 points.]


    When they saw the 73 points for defense, Feng Qi, Lai Hua, and Zhang Yuan widened their eyes.


    Feng Qi, in particr, had focused on defense. He knew how difficult it was to raise the defense score to 70, as he eventually had to give up on breathability.


    Yet, Chu Qingyan actually managed to surpass his score in this segment. Did he also look past some of the other aspects?


    "Not bad... Its defense isparable to that of heavy armor."


    Academician Xu nodded repeatedly, his expression full of admiration.


    It was already not easy for a graduate student in his thirties to achieve such high defense in standard armor. Not to mention, his armor only weighed 1.5 kilograms. That was enough to prove skills in forging.


    "Let''s look at the performance of each attribute. If they remain outstanding, it will be a perfect improvement!" Professor Liu said in excitement.


    Zhou Ning immediately did as she was told. She was ready for the results of the simtion.


    Chu Qingyan, who was standing in front of the crowd, was still calm as if he had expected his armor''s result to crush the ninth-generationbat suit.


    His demeanor waspletely different from the two people who had previously walked onto the stage.


    Wei Lan narrowed his eyes slightly. Right then, his mood was also somewhat fluctuating. It was as though he had found a good seedling in the garden.


    Beep beep...


    [The armor''s data has been calcted and listed.


    [Comfort - Improved Model: 67 points, Ninth Generation: 61 points.


    [Perspiration Absorption - Improved Model: 66 points, Ninth Generation: 57 points.


    [Breathability - Improved Model: 73 points, Ninth Generation: 70 points.


    [Stain Resistance - Improved Model: 85 points, Ninth Generation: 62 points.


    [Stealth - Improved Model: 72 points, Ninth Generation: 72 points.


    [Battle Evaluation - Improved Model: 78 points, Ninth Generation: 70 points.]


    Those who had prepared in advance were surprised by such an excellent data evaluation.


    It was especially so for Lai Hua in second ce. He had used four-groove fabric to create excellent air permeability, but hispetition had used nylon to achieve the same effect. It was simply unbelievable!


    Zhang Yuan, who was waiting to go on stage, felt great pressure at this point.


    p p p!


    Professor Liu immediately stood up and pped when he saw the results. He was not stingy with his praise.

 Chapter 130 Im Actually A Clown

    "Chu Qingyan, the battle armor you''ve forged has greatly satisfied the various requirements of themission. Not only is it light, but it also provides outstanding defense and battle support. It''s pretty much ingenious!"


    Academician Xu also had a look of amazement on his face. "I have to say, although the armor you''ve forged is not exceptional in terms of stealth or concealment, it has greatly improved on other indicators. The younger generation is truly formidable!"


    Hearing praises from the two of them, Zhou Ning could not help but p her hands.


    At the beginning of the test, the practicality of Chu Qingyan''s equipment had already amazed her. It would definitely shine in the subsequent reviews. Everything was as she had expected.


    ''It''s just that...''


    With that thought, she turned her head to look at Wu Mo in the team. She noticed that he still seemed as calm as ever. She could not help but wonder if he had made sufficient preparations, or if he had resigned himself to riding it out.


    Although the equipment that Wu Mo provided during the test yesterday was not bad, it barely scored above the passing mark. It was not on Chu Qingyan''s level at all.


    "Haha... Looks like my trip this time hasn''t been in vain. The battle armor provided by Chu Qingyan has reached my expectations perfectly whether it''s in terms of lightness,fort, or defense. It will definitely be used by many warriors once it is mass-produced in the future! Moreover, Qingyan is still so young. There is still room for improvement. Not bad! Haha!"


    Wei Lan was overjoyed. He was surprised by Chu Qingyan''s forging skills and unyielding character.


    He was prepared to go through the motions this time. After all, many excellent works had appeared in the previous test group. However, he did not expect that someone here would be a breath of fresh air and surprise him!


    The equipment that Chu Qingyan had forged was no worse than the works of those old researchers. Some of his techniques were even more suitable.


    Although Wei Lan had a broad vision, a young genius like him was still rare.


    In the end, with Minister Wei''s permission, Chu Qingyan''s light brown armor underwent a final density test. As expected, the energy inside was extremely stable, and it was on a high-quality level.


    In the field of forging, one-star to three-star cksmiths were beginners. They could mostly forge ordinary iron weapons or Rare-grade ones.


    Four-star to six-star cksmiths had intermediate skills, and they could forge Premium-grade, as well as Epic-grade, equipment.


    However, even if they reached the level of five stars, the failure rate of forging Premium-grade equipment would still be no less than 40%. Chu Qingyan''s ability to seed in one go was enough to show how powerful his foundation was.


    After passing the three tests, Chu Qingyan became the only member who had passed so far.


    However, the tests were not over. Seeing that there were still two graduate students left, Minister Wei Lan felt that he could give them a chance. After all, everyone had worked hard for two to three months just for this day. If he were to make hurried conclusions about them, it would inevitably affect their enthusiasm.


    "Next, Zhang Yuan."


    It was not intentional or random. Wu Mo had actually been thest one to be photographed. Although the first three tests only took about ten minutes, it still made him feel like he had waited for a long time.


    "Hehe, it''s finally my turn!"


    Zhang Yuan stood out proudly and walked to the table quickly.


    He ced his brown bag on the table, unzipped it, and took out his work with pride.


    Everyone subconsciously looked over, and they were instantly shocked by the armor''s appearance.


    It was a grass-green armor. The surface of its fabric was soft and stic, and it looked very thin. It seemed to weigh less than a kilogram!


    There were many patterns of arrays on the armor''s surface, and there appeared to be traces of nesting.


    The green glow made the entire armor look extremely strange.


    However, the most eye-catching thing was the apparentck of a multi-functional module!<sub> </sub>


    p Everyone was shocked, and the entire testing ground fell into silence.</anda>


    ''It''s actually lighter than the Invisibility Armor that I forged. Did he utilize more advanced technology?"


    Wu Mo was a little puzzled, but he subconsciously regarded Zhang Yuan as his opponent because someone who could rece the battle module without relying on the Research Department''s crystal was probably a big shot.


    Furthermore, the surface of his armor was smooth, and there was not even a single pocket. It was really surprising.


    Rather than calling it armor, it was more like an ordinary piece of clothing.


    "This is the work that you''ve forged?" Wei Lan was a little incredulous as he asked tentatively.


    "Yes, leader. This is the armor that I have forged. It''s made of aramid fiber, and it''s heat-resistant. It also has an outstanding defense. I used the crisscrossing grid technique to ensure that the armor still has excellent defense without a steel body''s energy absorption."


    Zhang Yuan introduced his work boldly. He had spent a lot of effort on the armor and incorporated a lot of advanced technology. In terms of its lightweight andfort, he could easily destroy all the other armors.


    The other armors needed to be equipped with multi-functional battle modules and required steel materials to increase their defensive power, but he only needed to use fabric to achieve the same effect. That was the ultimate lightweight performance.


    One could say that no one else could make armor that was less than a kilogram.


    Although it seemed like he was showing off at times, Zhang Yuan did not think that there was anything wrong with his actions.


    "Gasp... Zhang Yuan, this suit of yours can''t be called armor anymore, can it? It doesn''t even have the protection of a basic steel body," Professor Liu rubbed his eyes and said with uncertainty.


    "Don''t worry, Professor. Although my armor doesn''t have a thick and heavy steel body, it can still achieve excellent defense with just cloth."


    Zhang Yuan answered confidently, but the people around him still refused to believe him.


    Fabric was very fragile. It could not possibly reach the hardness and defense of steel.


    "While your innovation this time is very bold, I would like to make it clear in advance that if its attributes don''t measure up, it will still be considered a failure," Academician Xu immediately said.


    He wanted Zhang Yuan to keep a low profile and not be too full of himself.


    It was a good thing for the young to be innovative, but they were always thinking of bing era-defining pioneers. How could it be that easy?


    "Academician Xu, don''t worry. I have great confidence in my aramid material."


    Zhang Yuan was still full of conviction, and he did not listen to Academician Xu at all.


    Wei Lan frowned slightly. He wanted to say something, but seeing the arrogance of the team member in front of him, he decided against it.


    "Go ahead and test its defense."


    He waved his hand.


    Zhou Ning then went forward to take the armor. When she felt the armor''s actual weight, the surprise on her face became even greater!


    It was only a little heavier than a shirt. It did not seem likebat armor at all.


    With that thought... she approached the equipment for the defense test and threw Zhang Yuan''s armor into it.

 Chapter 131 Wu Mo’s Appearance

    Buzz, buzz, buzz. The machine immediately began to operate.


    Everyone''s gaze gathered on the same spot. They wanted to see if this person called Zhang Yuan had such great skills!


    Before they realized it, the sound of the machine slowly ceased. The screen on the machine lit up, and the test score immediately appeared on it.


    Beep beep...


    The test wasplete.


    The defense score for the improved version was 54 points, while the score for the ninth generation was 58 points.


    The result disyed was beyond some people''s expectations. Meanwhile, Xu Wuyue and Professor Liu found it reasonable.


    Their standard armor had already been forged into the ninth-generationbat suit, and the product was now on the verge of perfection. During this period, so many research institutes and academicians had worked together, so how could they not have thought of other alternatives?


    They ended up with the current choice, which was the most suitable, after excluding all kinds of materials.


    Before an individual''s strength rose to a certain level, changing the materials would only cause the problem to develop beyond control.


    ''It actually failed!''


    Wu Mo was shocked. He thought that Zhang Yuan had followed his line of thought and forged one of the most advanced products. He did not expect to be overthinking.


    "How could this be?!"


    Zhang Yuan, who was standing in front of everyone, suddenly had a horrid expression on his face. He stared at the screen in disbelief, and his pupils constricted.


    He had put in a lot of effort to make thisbat suit. The two arrays were nested together, adding a lot of independent space to the suit. The constant energy and thebat suit''s design had cost him too much. He never thought that he would lose sopletely in the simplest defense!


    Wei Lan shook his head in disappointment. The team member standing before him had been too arrogant. The young man thought that he had learned innovative technology, but in reality, he was just an ordinary person with limited knowledge.


    The armor did not even have a defenseyer. One could only say that he had been too idealistic!


    He had treated the warriors'' lives as a joke and a tool to show off his skills.


    "We cannot be flexible with the defense indicator. It mustn''t be lower than that of the ninth-generationbat suit. Therefore, your work does not pass the test!"


    His voice was cold as he spoke, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent as he stared at Zhang Yuan. It was obvious that he was angry.


    "I-I''m sorry," Zhang Yuan said subconsciously.


    It was almost difficult for him to breathe while the leader stared at him. Shame, anger, regret, and all kinds of negative emotions surged into his heart.


    He was too ashamed to stay there any longer. Even though the others had worse designs on the surface, at least, they easily passed the first stage. In contrast, he had failed the segment in an extremelyughable manner.


    The thought of it turned his face red. Right after he spoke, he ran out of the test field.


    Seeing his figure disappear outside the door, Feng Qi and Lai Hua exchanged nces in dismay.


    Wu Mo tilted his head and looked outside. His gaze was a little absent-minded as if his mind was upied.


    "This is simply unbelievable. Minister Wei, once the test is over, I''ll definitely give him a good lecture. I''ll make sure that he has a good attitude and understands discipline in the Research Department."


    Academician Xu shook his head helplessly and promised with a serious expression.


    "Let''s not talk about that first. Finish the test," Wei Lan held his forehead and said slowly.


    "Yes, Sir. Next, Wu Mo."


    Professor Liu picked up the name list and read out thest person''s name.


    At that moment, everyone on the test field was looking at Wu Mo.


    However, Wu Mo had a frown, and his head was lowered as though he was thinking about something.


    Earlier, Minister Wei''s words had given Wu Mo some inspiration.<sub> </sub>


    He realized that his work was not perfect. There was clearly another area that could be optimized; he could make his armor''s appearance more beautiful.


    He only used light blue starry camouge fabric, and he never modified its appearance.


    Earlier on, it never urred to him that the armor would be used on the battlefield and he had to pay attention to its appearance. Now that he understood the principle, he no longer had time to modify it.


    Right then, the perfectionist in him was stirring again. He wanted to take the equipment to the forging space and modify it again.


    "Wu Mo... it''s your turn."


    Feng Qi, who was standing at the side, noticed that Wu Mo was standing still, so he immediately shook his arm.


    Wu Mo suddenly snapped back to reality. He raised his head and discovered that everyone was looking at him. He was a little nervous, so he blurted out, "How about... we don''t look at it this time... There are still some parts of my work that aren''t perfect."


    He responded subconsciously and looked a little embarrassed.


    After all, he had waited for about 20 minutes, and the others were still looking at him expectantly. He felt that he had let them down by ending things in such a hasty manner.


    When the people around heard Wu Mo''s words, they were instantly dumbfounded.


    How could he insist on not taking his work out for a test?


    The person sitting in the head seat was an official, a person of authority from the headquarters.


    Even academicians and professors had to respect him, so how could he obey Wu Mo?


    "Wu Mo, what are you talking about? We''re already here and you still want to back out? Isn''t all the hard work you''ve put in for so many days worth it?"


    Feng Qi immediately tried to dissuade him.


    "Hey... I don''t have any objections if you want to back out, but I don''t think the three high officials will agree, so hurry up and take your armor out."


    Lai Hua felt a little helpless. It was almost over, so why would Wu Mo still y the game of quitting?


    On the other hand, Chu Qingyan''s expression was calm. In his eyes, he was already the victor. Regardless of whether Wu Mo participated in the test or not, he had already achieved his goal.


    His would definitely be the only n that would be epted.


    Although his armor might not necessarily be the tenth-generationbat suit, the leaders had already seen what he could do. His development in the future would be promising.


    Academician Xu sat in his seat with a slight frown. Wu Mo was a talent recruited by the fifth Research Department. If Wu Mo did not even dare to participate in the test, what would happen to him?


    Professor Liu found it a little strange too. He had dedicated decades of his youth to the fifth division, but this was his first time seeing a researcher back out at thest minute.


    On the other hand, Wei Lan was still sitting in his seat. He had no interest in a graduate student who did not even dare to show his work.


    ''Wu Mo, what''s wrong with you? You looked so confident when you epted the project back then. Why are you being cowardly now? Don''t me me for losing respect for you!'' Zhou Ning protested internally as she stood by.


    She stared at Wu Mo, feeling a little frustrated.


    "Tsk Tsk... Wu Mo, although you''re the youngest on our team, if you don''t even have this little bit of courage, I think you shouldn''t have epted the task back then."


    Lai Hua grinned, his expression carrying a trace of contempt.


    Right then, everyone had different reactions as they looked at Wu Mo.


    Feng Qi only felt that it was a pity to give up now.


    As for Lai Hua, it did not matter. He had already been eliminated, but at least he had the courage to participate and not dawdle like Wu Mo.


    Meanwhile, Chu Qingyan was standing at the side, discussing with Professor Liu. His hard work on his new project had finally been appreciated, so naturally, he was happy.


    He did not care about Wu Mo at all. Wu Mo was too young, and his strength was average. He was not qualified to be his opponent.

 Chapter 132 Wu Mo Plans To Show His Cards.

    As for Project Assistant Zhou Ning, she was quite angry with Wu Mo.


    Under Feng Qi''s persuasion, Wu Mo gave up on the idea of further improvement and decided to let the test run as usual.


    After he made up his mind, he immediately walked out and stood in front of the three leaders calmly.


    "What, you dare to face the test now?" Wei Lan stared at him and asked in a meaningful tone.


    "I''m sorry. I feel that there are still some minor ws in my work. I was thinking of skipping the test and going back to revise it, but the test cannot run on my time. So, I''ve decided to participate in the test first," Wu Mo said truthfully.


    "What about your work then? Hurry up and take it out."


    Professor Liu did not have a good impression of Wu Mo. He thought that Wu Mo was wasting his time, and he sounded a little impatient next to him.


    Wu Mo did not react. Instead, he stretched out his right hand, where he wore the Interspatial Ring, and snapped his fingers lightly.


    When Wei Lan saw the silver ring, he suddenly fell into deep thought.


    At that moment, white light shed in front of him, and a starry camouge suit appeared on the table.


    His face lit up slightly.


    However, he was surprised by the ring on Wu Mo''s finger. He did not show any interest in the armor on the table.


    Seeing this, Zhou Ning immediately took a few steps forward. When she saw the dark greenish-blue, old-fashioned camouge uniform on the table, she instantly became agitated.


    This... What in the world was Wu Mo doing?


    The rest had all brought out well-designed armors. At the very least, they had used many advanced technologies and fabrics.


    Wu Mo had instead made an old camouge suit, and it was the kind that was sold everywhere in the clothing district!


    "Pfft... Haha." Lai Huaughed out loud when he saw Wu Mo''s "masterpiece."


    "Big Brother... is this really called a small w?"


    Feng Qi was also stunned when he saw it.


    He knew that Wu Mo was just a new graduate student, but he thought that Wu Mo still had some strength despite hisck of experience.


    Never did he think that Wu Mo would do such a thing to make a fool out of himself.


    "This is... too bad!" he said subconsciously.


    Right then, Academician Xu and Professor Liu, who were sitting nearby, looked somewhat displeased.


    It was a disgrace to the fifth division, especially when such a thing urred in front of Minister Wei.


    It was aplete disgrace!


    "Hehe... how interesting."


    Chu Qingyan''s eyelids drooped slightly as he looked at the camouge uniform on the table and shook his head a little.


    At that moment, the entire crowd was silent.


    They never saw thising from Wu Mo.


    "You... Don''t tell me you think this mission is a joke?"


    Wei Lan''s brows were tightly knitted, and his expression changed for a moment. Then, he stood up and stared at Wu Mo with fiery eyes. His voice was like a cier, and it was bone-chilling.


    It was over... The leader was furious.


    Feng Qi and Lai Hua''s necks shrank, and they took a few steps back subconsciously.


    "Sir, I forged this armor strictly ording to the request. I''m not joking at all."


    Facing overwhelming pressure, Wu Mo looked at Minister Wei calmly, and his tone remained the same.


    "Oh? In that case, I''d like to see what your work can do!"


    Wei Lan almostughed from anger. He did not feel any energy fluctuations from the camouge suit. It was just an ordinary piece of clothing!


    "Wu Mo, you''re saying that you made it strictly ording to the requirements. Tell me, how can this ordinary material of yours be breathable?!"<sub> </sub>


    Professor Liu could not stand Wu Mo''s stubborn mouth, and he immediately questioned him in a stern voice.


    Wu Mo swiftly exined, "Of course. My armor is especially breathable. It feels as if you''re not wearing it. It''s definitely not stuffy."


    As he spoke, he picked up the suit and blew on it. Air currents passed through the fabric and blew up all the documents on the table.


    Everyone instantly frowned.


    Lai Hua inevitably cursed in his heart. This guy''s suit was probably not even made of gauze. Even breathable clothes would not be so airy.


    Xu Wuyue could not help but sternly ask, "What about the thinness? The cultivators on the front line need to fight for a long time, so the armor or suit mustn''t be too heavy and add to their burden!"


    Wu Mo immediately became excited when he heard this. He threw the camouge suit into the air, and it fluttered down, confusing several team members.


    "Academician, my armor is only 800 grams!"


    When Feng Qi heard Wu Mo''s answer, the corners of his eyes twitched.


    Good heavens, an ordinary set of clothes would definitely not be heavy. It would be a miracle if it weighed half a kilogram.


    "Then what about its multiple functions?" Chu Qingyan, who was standing beside the professor, unwittingly asked.


    Multiple functions?


    When Wu Mo heard his question, he grinned and unfolded the suit, continuing his exnation. "This armor of mine is very multi-functional. Look at this armband, this slot for a tactical pen, and this big pocket on the chest. There''s also magic tape that can be quickly removed. Meanwhile, the pocket on the leg has a drawstring design. Isn''t this multi-functional?"


    Everyone was speechless following Wu Mo''s exnation.


    It was truly multi-functional!


    Although Wu Mo''s camouge suit met most of the requirements, it was not technically sophisticated.


    In that case, he was not needed. They could easily outsource it to a clothing factory and produce 10,000 sets a day. Would Wu Mo have to work hard to develop them?


    He was insulting them!


    Feng Qi and Lai Hua''s worldview waspletely changed. Something like that could be consideredbat armor too?


    Zhou Ning could not help but hold her forehead. She had previously believed that Wu Mo could produce better work than Chu Qingyan. Now, it seemed that she was still too naive.


    Professor Liu''s face was ashen, while Xu Wuyue was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig into his feet.


    Was Wu Mo that clueless or was he deliberately pretending to be stupid? His work obviously did not meet the requirements, yet he was able to make sense of it.


    When Xu Wuyue thought of Wu Mo, who had been specially recruited after he approved the documents, he felt his tooth ache.


    Wu Mo was supposed to be a genius who had forged a Divine weapon, but his performance was horrendous. When Xu Wuyue thought about it, he could not stop himself from getting riled up.


    He stopped beating around the bust and asked the most crucial question straight away.


    "Wu Mo... you mentioned that you forged it ording to the requirements, so does this camouge suit of yours have any stealth attributes?"


    As soon as he said that, the people around him began to look interested.


    Looking at the suit on the table, they could not help but burst intoughter.


    Stealth?


    How could this thing provide any concealment?


    When Lai Hua heard the word, he immediately chuckled and said, "It''s such an ugly suit. Are you nning to kill those monsters on the battlefield of ten thousand races withughter?"


    "Does it mean that you''ll be concealed as long as all your enemiesugh to death?"


    As soon as he said that, Chu Qingyan could not hold it in anymore. He wanted to cackle.


    Wu Mo ignored the mocking gazes he saw. He did not intend to pay them any attention.


    He contemted for a moment before he raised his head to meet Wei Lan''s cold gaze. "Sir, I am still very confident about its ability to conceal. Even though the appearance of the armor that I''ve forged does have more room for improvement..."


    He picked up the camouge suit on the table. "...when ites to stealth, I''ve put in special focus because it''s a mandatory requirement in the documents."

 Chapter 133 Questioning Wu Mo’s Strength

    Seeing Wu Mo''s serious expression, a few of the team members smiled. "Not bad. You speak as if it''s true. Then tell me, what kind of concealment effect does this camouge suit of yours have?"


    Zhou Ning leaned over slightly and observed the camouge suit carefully, but she still did not discover anything extraordinary.


    "Actually, this armor of mine can be invisible!" Wu Mo said in a sonorous tone. He was just about to demonstrate it to everyone when Academician Xu stood up and interrupted him.


    "Wu Mo, do you realize what you''re saying? Armor improvement can''t be made out of carelessness. You''re bragging about the suit''s effect, which is simply nonsense!"


    Seeing that Academician Xu was livid, the students immediately shut their mouths.


    At that moment, Xu Wuyue stared at Wu Mo and said in a serious tone, "I know you haven''t been in the Research Department for long and haven''t adapted to this ce yet, but you can''t tell tall tales about your work just because you didn''t perform well!"


    Wu Mo only found the situation somewhat inexplicable as he faced Academician Xu''s rebuke.


    He was telling the truth and not exaggerating at all. Why would they use him of spouting nonsense?


    Besides, the academician''s words made it seem that he had done something bad and needed to apologize to everyone.


    With that in mind, Wu Mo immediately said, "Academician Xu, I don''t feel that there''s anything wrong with what I''ve done. Furthermore, the armor that I''ve forged does have the functions that I mentioned earlier. If you don''t believe me, you can test it right here."


    Wu Mo''s response silenced all the present people.


    His team members never thought he would dare contradict Academician Xu in front of everyone. Moreover, he even doubled down on his armor''s outstanding performance.


    It wasparable to not shedding tears at a funeral until seeing the coffin.


    When he saw Wu Mo''s serious expression and the camouge uniform in his hands, Academician Xu felt a surge of anger.


    He immediately mmed the table and turned around to leave.


    He did not want to be in the presence of such a disobedient graduate student who insisted on doing whatever he wanted.


    Professor Liu, who was sitting at the side, saw Xu Wuyue turn around to leave. He was worried that Minister Wei would be unhappy because of this, so he immediately pulled Xu Wuyue''s arm and tried to dissuade him. "Hey... Old Xu, why are you arguing about this with an insensible graduate student? Wu Mo is young, after all. It''s inevitable that he''ll be arrogant. You can slowly change that in the future."


    Xu Wuyue''s anger did not subside after Professor Liu pulled him back. However, since there were leaders present, he had no choice but to return to his seat.


    Nevertheless, his expression remained a little unpleasant.


    At the end of the day, he was the one who had personally recruited Wu Mo into the Research Department. Most of the higher-ups knew that.


    Now that Wu Mo was performing so badly, how could he not be angry?


    Seeing that Xu Wuyue had gradually calmed down, Professor Liu subconsciously nced at Minister Wei.


    Once he realized that the leader''s expression was still indifferent as if he was not affected, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.


    Right then, everyone looked at Wu Mo as he stood in front of the long table. Everyone had different emotions.


    Feng Qi was a little worried. He was afraid that Wu Mo would affect his own future research path because of this.


    Lai Hua, on the other hand, had a smile on his face as he stared at Wu Mo.


    Meanwhile, Chu Qingyan, who was standing next to Professor Liu, had a cold expression on his face.


    He felt that someone like Wu Mo did not deserve to be called a cksmith. Not only did he tarnish the profession, but he also wasted everyone''s time.


    Standing nearby, Zhou Ning had mixed feelings. She looked at the leader, wanting to know how Minister Wei was going to handle the matter.


    "In any case, every student who passes the examination will have to undergo aprehensive test for their work. Since Wu Mo thinks that his armor is qualified, it won''t hurt to look at the test results!" Wei Lan said with a calm expression and gave Zhou Ning a look.


    Zhou Ning nodded immediately and proceeded to prepare the test for Wu Mo''s armor in three areas.


    ''Although he knows that Wu Mo''s work is unlikely to pass the examination, he still feels that things are not that simple. Wu Mo is ultimately a member of the team. If his work really doesn''t meet the standards, would he dare contradict Academician Xu?''


    "I can ept the test at any time!"<sub> </sub>


    Wu Mo took a step back and gestured for them to proceed.


    ''Sigh...''


    Zhou Ning sighed in her heart. She suppressed theplicated thoughts in her mind and walked straight toward Wu Mo.


    When she casually picked up Wu Mo''s work, she realized that the armor was unexpectedly light.


    Her red lips parted slightly. She realized that this suit was probably not as simple as it appeared.


    Either way, the test was about to reveal the truth. She did not say anything and promptly walked to the defense detection device. Then, she ced the camouge suit inside.


    Zhou Ning had a feeling that the armor was not ordinary, but the fabric''s soft texture made her worry that the suit would be destroyed by the testing equipment.


    The defense test would definitely involve a simted attack, so Wu Mo''s suit would probably be beyond recognition after the test if it was made of pure fabric.


    The worry in her heart shed past, and she schooled her expression once again.


    ''Hmph... when you epted the mission, you still had a confident look on your face. Now, you''ll have a taste of your own medicine.''


    Thinking of this, Zhou Ning threw the lightweight suit in without hesitation and pressed the machine''s switch.


    A buzzing sound rang out, and several members of the team looked at the machine''s screen with curiosity. Professor Liu, however, was still discussing something with Chu Qingyan.


    Xu Wuyue narrowed his eyes slightly as if he did not care about Wu Mo''s results anymore.


    Beep beep...


    They then heard the sound of the test''spletion.


    Zhou Ning, who was standing next to the machine, was kind of nervous.


    Chi...


    The exit of the test machine opened, and the armor forged by Wu Mo was transported out by the conveyor belt.


    Everyone was surprised to find that the seemingly fragile suit was undamaged.


    While they were still surprised, they looked at the screen and found a line of words that had never appeared on the screen before.


    Ding...


    [Defense testpleted. Calcting. Estimated Time: Five minutes...]


    "Tsk... What''s going on?"


    Lai Hua, who had been nning to watch a show, instantlyined when he discovered that the device had not shown the results.


    The others did not see anything happen either. They were confused for a moment.


    Even Zhou Ning, who knew the test machine like the back of her hand, was a little shocked.


    Calcting?


    Normally, the results of a test would appear quickly.


    Separate calctions would only be required if the test data was too low or too high and could not be calcted using a normal temte.


    Zhou Ning''s face turned a little pale when that urred to her. She did not know what kind of work Wu Mo had cast, and she could note up with an easy conclusion.


    Since she was unsure, Zhou Ning could only turn around and look at the three leaders in their seats, asking for their help.

 Chapter 134 Cold Words

    Wei Lan seemed to be deep in thought. He looked at Wu Mo, who was standing in front of him, and realized that he was not flustered or afraid that his lie was about to be exposed.


    It seemed that Wu Mo had already predicted that his work would pass the test.


    "Then there''s no harm in waiting for another five minutes!"


    Thinking of this, Wei Lan waved his hand and instructed ordingly.


    "Yes, Sir..."


    Zhou Ning nodded in agreement.


    She picked up the armor that was not worn out and approached the simtion machine.


    She was ready for the second round of testing.


    The test this time would mainly cover six aspects, to see the armor''s performance data under various circumstances. Feng Qi and Lai Hua had failed to pass the machine''s test standards.


    Taking a deep breath, Zhou Ning put the suit into the test slot. She watched helplessly as the machine closed itspartment and began to operate. Only then did she regain her calm.


    At that moment, Wu Mo''s mood did not fluctuate because of the machine issue. He continued to stand there with a confident look on his face.


    His posture was tall and straight. He looked at the testing machine in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.


    When the surrounding people saw this, they could not help but start to work things out in their hearts.


    Feng Qi stared at the tips of his feet. His thoughts were stirring, and his mind was quite a mess.


    Lai Hua looked at the machine curiously. He wanted to know whether Wu Mo was a hidden big shot or a rookie who did not know his own limits.


    Chu Qingyan was also attracted by the situation. He wanted to see Wu Mo''s real results.


    Even though he had already decided that he was the best, he still hoped that this test would be sessfullypleted. His first-ce position would then be more secure.


    Just as Chu Qingyan pondered to himself, Professor Liu, who was sitting beside him, asked with a smile, "Qingyan, what do you think of this team member''s work?"


    He was stunned for a moment, but he immediately turned around and cupped his hands. "Professor Liu, I am only a graduate student. I don''t have the right to judge others."


    Professor Liu looked at Chu Qingyan''s humble expression and an expression of approval instantly appeared on his face.


    Chu Qingyan might have only been in the Research Department for half a year, but he had always performed steadily. Moreover, he was down-to-earth and imaginative when it came to designing Divine weapons. Unconstrained bymon sense, he was a good seedling.


    If he could be nurtured, he might be an official researcher within two years.


    On the contrary, Wu Mo, who was standing in front of everyone, wasarrogant and short-sighted.


    In addition, he was even worse than the student called Zhang Yuan.


    Not only did he lie, but he was also rebellious and stubborn in the face of Academician Xu''s usations.


    He was simply terrible.


    Professor Liu had already stered Wu Mo with variousbels in his heart.


    Right then, the machine stopped beeping, and hesubconsciously looked up.


    The rest of the people present were alert because once the results were out, the test would be over.


    [Testpleted. The results are being processed. It will take about five minutes.]


    A familiar and dazzling line of words appeared, confounding all who were present.<sub> </sub>


    The one earlier could still be attributed to an ident. However, two machines malfunctioning one after another inevitably caused them to specte other things.


    Professor Liu could not wait any longer. He did not want to waste his time on these students, so he immediately asked in a low voice, "Zhou Ning, what exactly is the cause? Why is there something that can''t be checked?"


    Zhou Ning did not dare neglect Professor Liu''s question, so she took a few hurried steps forward and exined, "Professor, there isn''t a problem with the machine. Instead, the test results have exceeded the calction of several models. The machine''s chip needs to perform real-time calctions, so we have to wait for a moment. Don''t worry, these instruments were all transferred from the headquarters. There hasn''t been a problem in more than two years!"


    With Zhou Ning''s guarantee, Professor Liu lightened up a little. However, her exnation made him believe in one thing.


    Wu Mo''s work had to be aplete mess. It did not even meet the minimum standard for testing, hence the urrence of this situation.


    A ruler that measured the decimeter would not be able to urately measure millimeters either.


    At this point, Wu Mo''s statement of strictly following the forging standard was self-defeating.


    However, Professor Liu was not the only one with such thoughts. The same thing ran through Chu Qingyan''s mind as he stood by his side.


    "If you exceed a few calction models, you''re either too strong or too weak. Wu Mo... could it be that the machine can''t detect your work because you''ve forged Epic-grade armor?"


    Chu Qingyan grinned and teased Wu Mo.


    The others could tell that Chu Qingyan was being sarcastic.


    Only researchers or professors with rich work experience could forge something of Epic grade.


    Wu Mo was merely a new graduate student, so how could he be capable of that?


    Yet, after Wu Mo heard him, he nodded as if it was a matter of course. "You guessed it right! I have indeed forged Epic-grade armor!"


    Wu Mo''s words made everyone speechless.


    Professor Liu''s eyes shed with anger. Aside from not knowing how to work hard, Wu Mo was also shameless before the leaders in such a formal test field. He was not worthy of being a member of the Research Department!


    Forget Professor Liu and the other team members, even Wei Lan, who was known for being friendly and magnanimous, had a stiff expression.


    "This... team member, Wu Mo, is too bold!"


    Feng Qi was shocked. He was too afraid to even breathe in front of Minister Wei.


    Wu Mo, a new graduate student, was talking big, and it shook him extremely.


    Lai Hua, who had been watching the show, was also taken aback by Wu Mo''s boldness. He looked serious.


    No one believed that Wu Mo could forge Epic equipment. They even thought that Wu Mo had only taken out ordinary clothing and not battle armor at all.


    However, Xu Wuyue, who had been sitting in his seat with his head lowered, sat up abruptly and stared at Wu Mo with a puzzled gaze. He seemed to notice something.


    Seeing the disbelief on everyone''s faces, Wu Mo immediately said, "If you don''t believe me, I''ll demonstrate it on the spot. I mentioned earlier that my armor can be invisible!"


    As he spoke, he walked up to Zhou Ning and took back the suit that had been tested.


    He unzipped it and prepared to put it on for everyone to see.


    Unfortunately, he was a little embarrassed to find that he had been too focused on studying the effects of the armor and had not made the armor ording to his size.


    He wanted to try it on but discovered that it did not fit him. The sleeves would not go on his arms.


    Seeing Wu Mo refuse to give up and insist that the suit had an invisibility function, Professor Liu got so angry that heughed.


    He had been in the Research Department for so many years, but he had never seen such a bad team member. He was so impervious to oil and salt that he ruined the Research Department''s spirit and atmosphere of dedication!

 Chapter 135 My Armor Can Become Invisible!

    "Wu Mo, don''t waste everyone''s time. No one wants to see you y around here!"


    Chu Qingyan noticed that Wu Mo had been dawdling and wasting time, so he gradually sounded more serious.


    Zhou Ning was further rendered speechless.


    Not only was the suit in and ugly, but theyout of its design also seemed unreasonable.


    If not for the fact that she had noticed some better parts of the armor, she would not have expected anything from Wu Mo at all!


    "Don''t just look at its appearance. The most important thing about the armor is its effect. Just look at it!" Wu Mo said calmly.


    He did not find the situation awkward. After he put on his suit, he immediately zipped it up.


    "I''m going to be invisible. Everyone, take a good look!"


    After Wu Mo said that, he immediately shook his attire lightly.


    The dim light wings attached to the armor instantly adjusted their angle and shifted the light rays.


    In the blink of an eye, Wu Mo disappeared from the test field under everyone''s watchful eye. It was as if he was never there.


    The faces of several team members standing not far away immediately changed when they saw Wu Mo disappear!


    Zhou Ning, who was standing at the side and waiting for the machine''s results, did not seem to react. Her eyes were just fixed on the spot where Wu Mo had disappeared!


    "How... How is this possible?!"


    Looking at the empty ground and Wu Mo, who had vanished without a trace, Chu Qingyan soon looked dissatisfied.


    Even Professor Liu''s pupils contracted at that moment. He did not expect Wu Mo to actually achieve the feat of invisibility.


    Xu Wuyue, who had been extremely disappointed in Wu Mo, felt a numbing sensation all over his body. His mouth was slightly agape, and he was unable to speak for a long time.


    The leader, Wei Lan was in charge of the research, and he was used to major scenarios, but he was just as shocked as the others. There was even a hint of confusion in his eyes.


    Invisibility!


    In the physical sense, invisibility did not exist at all.


    Such a feat was probably something that even an academician with decades of work experience would find extremely difficult to aplish.


    No one could believe that a member who had just entered the Research Department could aplish this!


    What kind of notion was this?


    Wei Lan, who was in a high position, no doubt understood how incredibly invisibility would affect the cultivators on the front lines. Moreover, invisibility could greatly reduce the casualty rate and even change the battle situation in a part of the region!


    At that thought, his face immediately turned red from excitement.


    Right then, everyone present was dumbfounded.


    They werepletely stunned. They did not expect Wu Mo to seed for real.


    As for Lai Hua and Chu Qingyan, who had previously ridiculed him, they only felt their faces turn red from embarrassment.


    This skill alone could provide value that surpassed that of a professor. They were clowns inparison!


    "F*ck! It''s real!"


    At that moment, Feng Qi finally returned to his senses. He looked at the empty space in front of him and shouted with a shocked expression.


    Professor Liu was so startled by Feng Qi''s shout that he almost fell out of his seat.


    However, that was the least of his concerns right now. He promptly stood up and yelled, "Wu Mo, where are you?!"


    Hearing Professor Liu''s call, Wu Mo gently shook his suit. The dim light wings on the armor quickly stuck close to the armor, and the invisibility effect disappeared just like that.


    Looking at Wu Mo who reappeared, everyone''s faces were filled with shock.


    Not only could he activate his invisibility within a second, but he could also return to normal at any time. If this could be applied to armor, it would bring cultivators immeasurable advantages!


    Xu Wuyue''s eyes trembled slightly. Seeing Wu Mo''s armor disy such an outstanding ability, Xu Wuyue felt a wave of regret when he thought of the unwarranted reprimand he had given Wu Mo earlier.<sub> </sub>


    "Good, good! The fifth Research Department is indeed full of talent. Such a skilled person has appeared in such a small team! This is the pride of our capital!"


    Wei Lan stood up excitedly and did not hide his love for Wu Mo''s talent as he praised him.


    Feng Qi instantly revealed an envious expression when he saw the leader praise Wu Mo. Chu Qingyan and Lai Hua had be much more well-behaved by now. Their faces were still red, as though they had nowhere to hide.


    Right then, Zhou Ning, who was standing next to the machine, was as excited as the other leaders.


    After all, she was the person in charge of this project. She had some understanding of the situation in the southeastern war zone, so she knew how much help invisibility could provide to the military.


    All theints in her heart disappearedpletely after Wu Mo showed the armor''s invisibility function.


    Even if the armor''s other functions were rubbish, its feat of invisibility was historic enough. Wu Mo could totally receive an award from the military for this function, and he would definitely rise to the top in the future!


    Zhou Ning was ruminating when suddenly, the machine sounded behind her.


    It immediately attracted everyone''s attention on the testing field.


    Beep...


    [Calctionpleted.


    [Defense Test Result - Improved armor: 88 points, Ninth generation: 58 points.]


    Everyone immediately gasped when they saw the long-overdue defense test result.


    Professor Liu even thought that he was mistaken, and he subconsciously rubbed his eyes.


    However, the shocking result was still clearly disyed on the screen!


    What was he to make of an 88-point defense?


    Currently, there were roughly three types of defensive garments: cloth armor, leather armor, and heavy armor.


    Cloth armor was mostly sewn with various kinds of fabric, relying only on the defensive power provided by the cloth itself. Even with the addition of a magic array, it would be very difficult to break through 40 points.


    As for leather armor, it was sewn with different types of leather. The inner lining would also be paired with various iron buffering frames, and its defensive power would be around 50 to 70 points.


    Lai Hua, for example, had scored 73 points, and that was already considered outstanding.


    Heavy armor was made of all kinds of alloy steel. It weighed at least 10 kilograms. This type of armor was usually custom-made by generals. It was enough for someone to kill several hundred thousand monsters without getting hurt.


    Its defense was terrifying. Basically, it would be around 70 to 90 points


    Sadly, such armor was expensive and clumsy.


    On the other hand, the armor made by Wu Mo was only about 800 grams light. Plus, its defense was even stronger than that of most heavy armor.


    It was unbelievable that such a shocking thing was happening before their eyes!


    "D*mn!


    "God has descended!"


    Zhou Ning was so amazed that she could not get a hold of herself.


    She had tested many kinds of defensive equipment, and most had scored around 40 to 70 points.


    People like Lai Hua were rare enough. It was the first time in her career that she had witnessed armor that scored more than 80 points. It was unreal.


    At that moment, Chu Qingyan, who had previously boasted about his talent, now felt the terrifying gap between him and Wu Mo as well.


    A thought kept shing through his mind.


    Even if he worked hard for another 10 years, it would still be impossible for him to reach Wu Mo''s level!


    The rest of the team members were bewildered.


    Wu Mo was even more ferocious than a cheat. There was noparison between them!

 Chapter 136 Terrifying Defense

    At that moment, a seated Xu Wuyue was staring at the result on the defense testing device in shock.


    Xu Wuyue had anticipated an extremely excellent defense value from Wu Mo''s armor following the showcase of its invisibility effect.


    He thought that the range of the defense test result would be around 65 to 75 points.


    After all, the armor was too light. Even if it was forged with a Tier 2 array, it would not be able to break through 80 points.


    However, the final result exceeded his expectations.


    Only an extremely excellent heavy armor could achieve 88 points in defense.


    Although he had worked in the Research Department for decades and had a wealth of experience in forging, he still could not imagine what Wu Mo had done to make his armor so strong in defense.


    Chu Qingyan''s improvement n was much more mediocre inparison.


    Just by relying on defense and concealment, Wu Mopletely crushed all the participants with his improvement n.


    As he thought about Wu Mo''s technique, he wondered what kind of advantage it would bring to the first-line cultivators if it could be applied on the battlefield.


    In the future, not only would it reduce the number of first-line cultivator casualties, it might even change the situation of the battle.


    That was more realistic than just increasing stealth.


    Right then, Wei Lan rested his chin on his hands. There was a sharp glint in his gaze on Wu Mo.


    If he could transfer this genius to the front lines and provide equipment to the cultivators who were defending against the invasion of the ten thousand races, would he not be able to y a more powerful role?


    However, he buried this n deep in his heart.


    Now, the most important thing was to secure Wu Mo.


    After all, he had witnessed Professor Liu and Academician Xu express negative emotions toward Wu Mo. They had publicly used Wu Mo of being ignorant and ipetent.


    That must have reduced Wu Mo''s good impression of the Research Department. If Wu Mo could not justify it, he would leave his post as a graduate student and attend another organization. That would be a great loss to the fifth Research Department.


    With that thought, he immediately steadied his mind. He spared no effort in praising Wu Mo. "Good, very good. Wu Mo''s skills in the fields of defense and stealth have reached a master''s level. He stands out even among many researchers. He is indeed worthy of being a top student in the fifth Research Department!"


    Speaking of which, he took the lead in pping. His excited and happy expression was self-evident.


    Professor Liu sighed as well. Wu Mo''s strength in those two fields was formidable.


    At the same time, he was looking forward to the results of the test in the simtion machine.


    If the armor forged by Wu Mo could disy such powerful defense, then its other attributes would not be too bad.


    If this armor could also exhibit outstanding abilities in battle, then Wu Mo''s work wouldpletely qualify for the tenth-generation standardbat suit improvement n.


    While everyone was still in shock, a series of beeping sounds came from behind Zhou Ning.


    Zhou Ning was the first to turn around to check the equipment''s disy.


    The rest also shifted their gazes to see what kind of results Wu Mo''s armor had achieved in the second test.


    Their eyes gathered, and the machine''s disy screen immediately shed with light.


    Beep beep...


    [The data of the improved armor has been analyzed.


    [Comfort - Improved Model: 75 points, Ninth Generation: 61 points.


    [Perspiration Absorption - Improved Model: 79 points, Ninth Generation: 57 points.


    [Breathability - Improved Model: 84 points, Ninth Generation: 70 points.


    [Stain Resistance - Improved Model: 82 points, Ninth Generation: 62 points.


    [Stealth - Improved Model: 97 points, Ninth Generation: 72 points.


    [Battle Evaluation - Improved Model: 92 points, Ninth Generation: 70 points.]<sub> </sub>


    A series of data appeared, dazzling all of them.


    The sound of people gasping could be simultaneously heard on the testing field.


    After they saw the heaven-defying data, everyone felt a jolt in their minds, and their eyes instantly widened.


    Not only did Wu Mo''s armor surpass Lai Hua''s armor, which was made of four-groove fiber, in terms offort, perspiration absorption, and breathability, but his stain resistance had also broken through the 80-point barrier.


    That meant Wu Mo''s forging ability in this field had also reached the peak of perfection.


    Following that was stealth, which everyone was most concerned about. Wu Mo''s armor had actually obtained close to full marks.


    It was a record that the Research Department had never been able to break until now. It had reached an unprecedented level.


    This event held historic significance in the field of forging.


    It was especially so for the three big shots who were sitting behind the table.


    They felt their hair stand on end, and their faces were filled with amazement.


    At that moment, Wu Mo''s team members were staring nkly at the screen.


    It was as if they had not recovered from the shock that Wu Mo had created.


    "A genius! He''s simply a genius!"


    Professor Liu''s lips were trembling slightly right then.


    Hepletely understood what kind of changes Wu Mo''s armor could bring to the field of forging.


    His heart was filled with wave after wave of awe, especially when he saw such a perfect work of art from a graduate student.


    Academician Xu was not calm either as he sat beside Professor Liu.


    He was also in a state of shock thanks to Wu Mo.


    His excellence not only surpassed many researchers who had worked for many years, but Wu Mo could alsopare to academician-level master cksmiths in some fields.


    In the field of stealth, even Xu Wuyue could not forge apletely invisible piece of work.


    Meanwhile, Wu Mo, who was only 20 years old, had achieved this improvement within two months.


    The words ''the younger generation is awesome'' could no longer describe Wu Mo''s heaven-defying ability.


    The final battle evaluation result was an even greater joke to everyone present.


    A 92% battle evaluation?


    The improvement in the ninth-generation standardbat suit hadbined the painstaking efforts of countless researchers and academicians to achieve such a bnce.


    However, the armor provided by Wu Mo was superior to the ninth-generation standardbat suit in every field. The gap between them was huge.


    Wu Mo had also reached the peak of perfection in the most vital battle evaluation.


    Standard armor needed to be light, stealthy, andfortable, with fighting and hiding being the most important.


    Wu Mo''s work achieved more than 90 points in both of those attributes, which proved his terrifying forging skills.


    Above all, each attribute had such exaggerated evaluation data, yet they were all found on an 800-gram piece of armor.


    This was almost as difficult as forging a Divine weapon.


    Pa!


    Professor Liu mmed the table and stood up abruptly.


    His face was still filled with disbelief as he enthusiastically said, "The armor that Wu Mo has created is extremely developed, and each of his techniques has reached the level of perfection. I feel that this invisible armor canpletely be the final improvement n for the tenth-generation standardbat suit!"

 Chapter 137 Whos The Clown Now?

    As soon as Professor Liu said this, Chu Qingyan''s expression became horrendous.


    He hadmunicated with Professor Liu earlier, and the professor told him that he would be an assault team member on the next project.


    Moreover, the professor would also report Chu Qingyan''s improvement n to help him win praise.


    However, little did he expect that less than five minutester, Professor Liu would start bragging about Wu Mo,pletely forgetting about him.


    Chu Qingyan was anxious, and he did not want to be reced like that. He quickly said, "Professor Liu, didn''t you say that my improvement n passed the standard and that it''ll be reviewed in the next phase? But now, why¡ª"


    He sounded anxious, but before he could finish, Professor Liu interrupted him.


    "Chu Qingyan, I hope you have some self-awareness. Your work is considered good, but it''s not worth mentioning whenpared to Wu Mo''s."


    Professor Liu turned to look at Chu Qingyan and responded impatiently.


    "Even though you are Professor Tan''s closed-door student, it still doesn''t change the fact that your strength is inferior to Wu Mo''s."


    As he faced Professor Liu''s reality check, Chu Qingyan''s expression grew even more hideous.


    He had been secretly mocking Wu Mo''sck of strength, but looking at it now, he was the real clown.


    Outshined by Wu Mo''s work, Feng Qi, Lai Hua, and the rest were all like stars under the bright moon.


    They were dumbfounded before Wu Mo.


    Previously, Lai Hua had looked down on Wu Mo''s armor, thinking that it was just an ugly and ordinary camouge suit.


    But now, the results hit his face hard.


    Wu Mo''s armor was better than Lai Hua''s armor in terms of stealth and other attributes.


    The difference was like heaven and earth.


    When Lai Hua thought of his excessive behavior just now, his face turned red with shame, and he was extremely embarrassed.


    Wu Mo obviously did not take him seriously or treat him as a qualified opponent.


    Meanwhile, he had been acting like a self-righteous clown.


    Academician Xu, who had scolded Wu Mo previously, now had slightly red eyes, and his expression was even more self-reproachful.


    He should not have criticized Wu Mo before he saw everything.


    At that moment, the test field was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.


    The shock on everyone''s faces had yet topletely disappear.


    Feng Qi, who was standing at the side, was rather puzzled.


    He still could not understand how Wu Mo managed to achieve such an outstanding feat.


    The question had upied his mind for a few minutes, but could not find the answer.


    In a moment of desperation, he stepped away from the team as if he was possessed and quickly walked toward Wu Mo.


    His friend, Lai Hua, noticed this and immediately followed him. He wanted to find out how Wu Mo had seeded to such an extent too.


    The two of them rushed up to Wu Mo to see the material and workmanship of his armor.


    Both of them were so anxious that they almost tore off Wu Mo''s armor.


    Wu Mo did not know whether tough or cry. He quickly took off the Invisibility Armor and put it on the table for the two of them to observe.


    Wu Mo did not n on hiding the Invisibility Armor''s technology and fabric. He was happy to share.<sub> </sub>


    Lai Hua and Feng Qi then touched the armor''s fabric.


    After sensing the armor''s weight and soft touch, the two of them immediately gasped.


    Feng Qi was very careful, and he noticed that there were many tiny wings attached to the surface of the armor.


    The wings were neatly arranged, and they could rotate 140 degrees since they were specially crafted.


    They were exquisite to the point of perfection.


    Lai Hua also noticed that the starry camouge on the surface of theposite cloth had traces of Teflon paint.


    He immediately felt a deep respect for Wu Mo.


    Although the two of them were not as good as Wu Mo in terms of forging technology, they had been hired into the Research Department through variousrge organizations.


    Everyone had real talent, and they were also people who could distinguish right from wrong.


    They might have gotten into a small fight for the sake of the test earlier, but ever since they saw Wu Mo''s era-defining armor, the little grudge in their hearts had disappeared.


    They would no longer attack each other for their own interests and walk the line between right and wrong during their days as students.


    At this point, they only had deep respect and envy for Wu Mo.


    Despite seeing the finished product, they would not be able to make such a powerful product even after two months with their technology.


    They caressed the cold and tactile armor.


    "This design is truly out of this world. No matter how you look at this armor, it''s hard to find fault with it," Feng Qi eximed with excitement.


    Lai Hua was thoroughly impressed by Wu Mo''s forging skills now.


    Therefore, he immediately echoed Feng Qi''s sentiment. "This armor has already broken through the limits of a graduate student. With our abilities, it would still be impossible to produce such outstanding armor even if we waited for 10 years. I feel that if this thing can be mass-produced for the cultivators on the front lines, it will definitely have a miraculous effect on futurebat with the fierce beasts!"


    Seeing the two members below the stage praising Wu Mo''s work endlessly as if they were in awe, Professor Liu snorted lightly.


    "Heh, do you have to say it? Can''t the few of us see it?" he said in dissatisfaction.


    "Wu Mo''s armor not only utilizes plenty of ck technology, but it also has traces of a high-level array. Presumably, the production process must have been extremelyplicated. How can it be mass-produced so easily?"


    As he spoke, he stroked his sparse beard with his right hand. "Although it can''t be mass-produced in a short period of time, our Research Department can spend some information and money to forge 500 sets for the soldiers on the front lines first. It can still y a significant role.


    "I believe that those high-level cultivators will definitely be able to explode with powerfulbat abilities when they have such an armor. When that happens, the entire southeastern war zone will change imperceptibly because of this armor!"


    "Gasp!"


    Professor Liu actually gave Wu Mo such a high evaluation.


    Xu Wuyue, who was sitting at the side, soon recovered from his shock and confusion.


    At this moment, he realized how serious a mistake he had made previously.


    Wu Mo had not been bragging earlier. Everything was done as he had described.


    Whether it was stealth or versatility, no one in the entire assault team could match up to him.


    Even in the fifth Research Department, there were not many improvements that could match up to his creation.


    From this, one could see how terrifying Wu Mo''s forging technique was, right?


    Right then, Academician Xu recalled the video of Wu Moing in first ce in the graduation assessment a few months ago.


    It was not until today that hepletely saw why.

 Chapter 138 Professor Liu’s Olive Branch

    Everything that Wu Mo had done had been based on his own strength without the slightest exaggeration.


    When Xu Wuyue thought of that, he could not help but clench his fists and stare at Wu Mo.


    At that moment, he realized that he had overstepped his authority and given Little Zhou permission to give Wu Mo an offer letter. It was a brilliant decision.


    If Zhou Jinlong had reported it to the higher-ups, it would have been very difficult for Wu Mo, a mere four-star cksmith at that time, to pass the test and enter the Research Department.


    His seemingly bold move had brought such a peerless genius into the fifth Research Department.


    However, Wu Mo had done everything on his own. When Wu Mo arrived at the test field, he doubted the boy''s ability, making a fatal mistake.


    Just as he thought about how to improve their rigid rtionship, Professor Liu, who was sitting at the side, suddenly said, "Wu Mo, you are fully qualified to be a researcher with your current forging skills. It just so happens that I have a good project. If you''re freeter, you cane to our group."


    Professor Liu walked toward Wu Mo with a smiling and amiable face. Was he nning something?


    Wu Mo was at a loss as he allowed Professor Liu to pull him aside.


    "Professor Liu, what would like from me?" he asked tentatively, feeling a little puzzled.


    "Hehe, Wu Mo, this old man spoke a little harshly before. I didn''t wait to see your armor''s actual test data and misunderstood your attitude. I apologize for that."


    Professor Liu looked at Wu Mo and exined somewhat embarrassedly.


    Wu Mo immediately waved his hand, indicating that he did not care.


    "Hmm... I knew it. Wu Mo, you''re magnanimous. You definitely won''t argue with an old man like me. Oh, right, what I said to you earlier, would you consider it?"


    Seeing that Professor Liu''s attitude toward him had taken a 180-degree turn, Wu Mo felt a little helpless. Although he was only a graduate student, he was still under Academician Xu.


    It was not that easy to change posts.


    Moreover, it was quite good for him to stay. The research building had sophisticated experimental equipment and research rooms for use, so staying was not a bad option.


    Professor Liu noticed that Wu Mo seemed to be frowning slightly and thinking about the pros and cons. He got anxious and immediately said, "Wu Mo, if you''re willing toe to our side and conduct research, I definitely won''t let you down in terms of welfare and sry."


    Professor Liu was a little emotional at the moment. He had always loved money like it was his life. Whenever he saw talents and unpolished gems, he would lose control and want to recruit them into his team.


    Besides, he had realized the value of stealth armor in just ten short minutes, and his love for Wu Mo was beyond words.


    "Thank you, Professor Liu, for your appreciation and invitation, but I have no intention of leaving for the time being. Academician Xu has been kind to me. If it weren''t for him, I wouldn''t have had the chance to enter the Research Department.


    "As for the forging ideas and the various difficulties involved in the invisibility campaign, once the dust settles, I''ll share all of them to help the cultivators on the battlefield."


    Wu Mo''s attitude was neither servile nor overbearing as he spoke in a t tone.


    It was as if he was talking about a trivial matter.


    When Professor Liu heard this, his heart was even more shaken.


    Any other person with such powerful technology in his hands would definitely keep it hidden in his heart. With this technology, the imperial family might be able to live the rest of their lives just by relying on knowledge that others did not know.


    However, Wu Mo was willing to share it without holding anything back. His academic spirit was already noteworthy; the countless researchers in the fifth division should learn from him!


    At that moment, Professor Liu gazed at Wu Mo with more appreciation and grew fonder of him.


    Not only was Wu Mo''s forging knowledge powerful, but his academic philosophy was also extremely transparent.


    He could almost foresee that Wu Mo''s development in the future would definitely not be simple!<sub> </sub>


    "Huh..."


    "When did Professor Liu be so amiable?"


    Next to the device, Zhou Ning was surprised when she saw Professor Liuughing and chatting with Wu Mo.


    However, Wu Mo was the one who shocked her the most in the whole process.


    Now, she hadpletely seen Wu Mo''s true strength.


    She finally understood why Wu Mo was full of confidence when he epted themission.


    Perhaps Wu Mo already had a suitable improvement n back then.


    During the examination, Wu Mo disyed strong forging ability, so it was no surprise that Professor Liu was showing his appreciation.


    Feng Qi and Lai Hua looked at Wu Mo enviously as Professor Liu pulled him away.


    By now, Wei Lan''s mind had gradually calmed down. He felt that this trip was really worth it.


    He actually witnessed such a strong graduate student.


    If Academician Xu and Professor Liu could properly nurture him, this young man might be able to grow into a powerhouse like the two of them in the future.


    ...


    "Wu Mo, are you really not going to consider it? If Academician Xu finds it troublesome, I can help you take care of things!" Professor Liu said in a corner of the testing field, a little unwilling to give up.


    Professor Liu tried to reason with Wu Mo to pull him into his team. He was reluctant to let this go.


    However, from Wu Mo''s point of view, although both Academician Xu and Professor Liu were leading figures in the fifth division, there was quite a big gap in their research direction.


    Professor Liu''s strength may not have been low, but his research was more theoretical, and he was mainly responsible for the development of modrity.


    Academician Xu was in charge of actualbat. He was in charge of improving off-the-shelf equipment and conquering certain shorings.


    At this point, Wu Mo wanted to stay in the research building to learn from Academician Xu.


    "Professor Liu, I appreciate your kindness. I n to stay by Academician Xu''s side for a period of time, but I will continue to seek advice from you in the future. I hope you will take care of me when the timees," Wu Mo said with a smile.


    Seeing that Wu Mo had made up his mind, Professor Liu sighed internally.


    Nevertheless, he replied with a smile, "Don''t worry. If there''s anything you don''t understand, you cane to me anytime. I have high hopes for you, so keep working hard."


    Professor Liu patted Wu Mo''s shoulder with a regretful expression.


    The more he looked at Wu Mo, the more he liked him. Wu Mo''s strength was first-rate, and his character was outstanding as well.


    ? Inparison, hisst few disciples seemed much more mediocre. They were no longer as attractive.


    After bidding farewell to Professor Liu, Wu Mo returned to the crowd and waited for the big leader''s assessment.


    Wei Lan nodded and immediately said, "Wu Mo, your strength has undoubtedly been witnessed by everyone present. You are the most outstanding member of the team. Despite that, I hope you can continue to work hard and achieve more technical breakthroughs in the field of forging!"


    Wu Mo nodded and looked at Minister Wei with a determined gaze.

 Chapter 139 Well-Deserved!

    Everyone was in awe. Right then, Academician Xu Wuyue also said, "Wu Mo, I lost myposure earlier and criticized you without understanding the situation. I was mistaken, and I hope that you can forgive me."


    When Xu Wuyue said that, Professor Liu, who was standing at the side feeling sorry for himself, felt a little surprised.


    <o>,m He did not expect Academician Xu to actually lower himself and apologize to Wu Mo in public. He could not help but admire his temperament.</o>


    "Academician Xu, actually, it''s not entirely your fault. My own actions were also somewhat improper. I should have exined this to you earlier."


    Wu Mo scratched his head in embarrassment and replied with a smile.


    To be honest, he did not have any hatred toward Academician Xu. After all, whether it was entering the Research Department or reading the master''s notes and rted books in the internal reference room, it was all thanks to Academician Xu.


    Plus, his skills had improved so quickly recently because he had absorbed the ideas of many master cksmiths. That was indirectly due to Academician Xu''s contributions.


    "Alright... From now on, I''ll pay attention to my words, as well as my actions, and strive to prevent such a thing from happening again."


    Xu Wuyue had a gratified look on his face.


    Seeing Wu Mo nod his head earnestly, he changed the subject and started talking about the Invisibility Armor.


    "On the matter of inspection, the armor that you''ve forged is outstanding. However, there are still some parts that can be improved, so strive to do better.


    "For instance, the armor''s size. Due to the suit''s tailoring and size, it''s not suitable for all types of body shapes. Modifying the armor ording to current international standard parameters should solve this issue wonderfully."


    Wu Mo listened attentively. In fact, he had also noticed the same problem when he was trying on the armor. However, at that time, he was only focused on making the test data better, so he did not pay attention to it.


    "In addition, the invisibility function of this armor has a limitation. It can''t be used in all environments. The invisibility effect may be weaker in the dark or in ces with poor lighting. Moreover, some monsters from the ten thousand races have additional detection abilities."


    Academician Xu ced his hands behind his back and spoke with confidence.


    "There are, for example, arge number of blue-eyed snakes. Most of them have the Searing Gaze skill, which is simr to a thermal imaging function. They can lock onto enemies by sensing their temperature. Therefore, if this skill is used on the battlefield, it will pose a problem."


    When everyone heard Academician Xu''s words, they could not help butment in their hearts. He was a true academician. In just a few minutes, Academician Xu had already seen the Invisibility Armor''s many shorings. Just that alone made it obvious how profound Academician Xu''s knowledge was.


    After Wu Mo heard his points, he humbly said, "Alright, Academician Xu. I''ll definitely remember what you said. These mistakes were made mainly because themission time was too short. If you can give me a few more days, I''ll definitely make up for each of these shorings."


    Professor Liu, who was standing at the side, could not help but sigh in his heart when he saw Wu Mo''s great attitude and valuable academic research spirit. If only he had been a step faster and taken Wu Mo in as hisst disciple...


    "Yes, I understand. After all, this is your first time taking on amission. You still need more relevant experience. Even so, this is only the improvement n''s first draft. Down the road, you can definitely continue to improve and upgrade it. Furthermore, I was wrong earlier. The forging technology and effects of this Invisibility Armor are era-defining in the entire forging field. I believe that with your skills, you''ll definitely be able to bring this Invisibility Armor to a more perfect state. Come on!"


    Academician Xu''s wordspletely expressed his recognition of Wu Mo''s strength.


    Receiving Academician Xu''s personalmendation made Wu Mo feel a little emotional.


    He felt a little emotional. He had only been in the Research Department for less than three months, yet the strength of his skills had increased quite a bit.


    The Research Department was filled with people akin to dragons, so his aplishment of such a feat pretty much showed that he did not let down Instructor Zhou and the Divine Arms Academy which had nurtured him for several years.


    Everyone was extremely excited upon hearing Academician Xu''s high evaluation of Wu Mo. To be able to personally witness the creation of historic work made their participation in the test this time worthwhile.<sub> </sub>


    There was no doubt about the final result of the test.


    Wei Lan quickly announced the results, and Wu Mo was in the well-deserved first ce.


    Zhou Ning unwittingly sighed in her heart as she stood at the side at looked at Wu Mo who resembled a dazzling star.


    Two months ago, when she first met Wu Mo, she was amazed by his young age and wondered if it would be difficult for him to take on such a big responsibility.


    Little did she expect that two monthster, Wu Mo would perform better than everyone else, directly silencing all doubts.


    The testing ended perfectly at this juncture.


    Wei Lan made a note in his heart, nning to go back and tell his colleagues about what he had seen in the fifth Research Department.


    Those old fellows who had spent half their lives on the battlefield would be highly interested in his findings.


    Everyone set off and prepared to leave the test field.


    After this test, they all had a clearer understanding of their own strength.


    Feng Qi had suffered a setback in terms of air permeability. In the future, he would definitely be more focused on controlling the details of his work.


    Although Lai Hua''s improvement n was better, since the materials he used were too expensive, Wei Lan rejected it straight away. Next time, he would definitely be more realistic in terms of forging. Besides, his skills were not weak. If he epted othermissionster, he would definitely be able toplete them better.


    As for Chu Qingyan, he was the most outstanding member of the entire team apart from Wu Mo. Since he was Professor Tan''sst disciple, his design concept was more proficient than the others, and he also knew a lot of forging techniques. If Wu Mo had not been present at the test, he would have definitely be the most dazzling student.


    However, the reality was, he was much dimmer than Wu Mo.


    At the same time, he lost the opportunity to coborate with Professor Liu.


    After all, Wu Mo hadpletely caught professor Liu''s attention. Inparison, Chu Qingyan was no longer as important.


    However, Wu Mo had won in an open and aboveboard manner, receiving everyone''s approval.


    As such, despite Chu Qingyan''s dissatisfaction, his heart was still filled with admiration for Wu Mo.


    He decided that in the future, he would not pay attention to anything other than his skills in the field of forging.


    He would quadruple his efforts and definitely reach Wu Mo''s skill level in the future.


    Feng Qi and Lai Hua simply looked at Wu Mo with respect in their eyes.


    Gaining Minister Wei''s appreciation basically made him the envy of most of the members in the Research Department.


    Everyone left one after another, and Zhou Ning departed from the testing field as well after reconfiguring the equipment.


    Wei Lan signed his name on the test form and entered a high-level cultivator''s car. He left the fifth Research Department in a hurry.

 Chapter 140 The Southeastern War Zones Future

    At this moment, only Academician Xu and Professor Liu were left in the test field, continuing to talk about what had happened earlier.


    "Old Xu, you''re not honorable. You''ve taken in such a talented disciple but never said a word to me. Aren''t you being too sneaky?" Professor Liu said with some dissatisfaction.


    He thought of the words that Wu Mo had uttered when he rejected him previously, and he could not help but sigh in his heart.


    "Wu Mo''s really talented. It''s a waste of his talent to follow you, Old Xu."


    "Go away. Stop being sarcastic here. After all, I upy the highest position in the fifth division, unlike some people who have been stuck in the professor''s evaluation for more than ten years."


    Hearing old Liu say that Wu Mo was wasting his talent with him, Xu Wuyue immediately felt unhappy and added insult to the professor''s injury.


    As soon as he said that, Professor Liu''s voice suddenly became a few degrees higher, as though some scars had been reopened.


    "Cut the cr*p. Aren''t you just lucky? If it weren''t for Wu Mo, I wouldn''t have bothered to talk about this with you."


    "Alright, alright..."


    Xu Wuyue seemingly saw through him and quickly changed the subject.


    "My opinion of Wu Mo isn''t much different from yours. He''s just a fresh graduate from the Divine Arms Academy. Yet, he has brought such great results to our fifth Research Department after epting only one mission. If we nurture him properly in the future, the fifth Research Department might return to its peak sooner than we think."


    Upon hearing this, Professor Liu''s expression rxed a little.


    Nevertheless, he was still a little perturbed about Xu Wuyue exposing his scars, so he snorted.


    "Hmph, Wu Mo is a rare talent. He''s a graduate student under your jurisdiction now, so you have to think of a way to keep him. Otherwise, you know the consequences."


    His tone softened at this point.


    "To be able to forge the Invisibility Armor on his first mission... With such forging skills and a mind for design, his future is bound to be limitless. Maybe, down the line, he can be a famous master cksmith or even the southeastern war zone''s hope."


    As he spoke, Professor Liu Mu narrowed his eyes, and a bright light shed across his face.


    It seemed that he was imagining what the future would look like. At some point, the fifth Research Department would terrorize and invade the ten thousand races, going so far as to leave a mark on their DNA!


    Xu Wuyue, who was standing nearby with his hands behind his back, heard Liu Mu''s words, and also appeared contemtive.


    "The hope of the southeastern war zone?"


    His thoughts were all over the ce as he muttered to himself.


    In the Nine Provinces, the battle between the monsters of the Ten Thousand Races and the people of the country was divided into nine war zones.


    The mes of war stretched for several hundred thousand kilometers. To protect the country, the monsters of the Ten Thousand Races, which ate human flesh and blood, were kept outside the borders. Every day, cultivators died because of this.


    As the name suggested, the vast Nine Provinces was currently divided into nine regions.


    There was one enormous war zone with thergest number of monsters and the same number of experts, as well as fourrge war zones, and four small war zones.


    The enormous war zone upied the area of several cities, and it was located at the center of the Nine Provinces'' territory.


    There were several hundred spatial cracks of various sizes there. The monsters of the Ten Thousand Races that descended from these spatial cracks were strong enough to burn mountains and fill the seas.


    Meanwhile, the fourrge war zones were like four heavenly pirs, and they upied four directions: east, south, west, and north.<sub> </sub>


    At every moment, the Ten Thousand Races that invaded would attempt to break through the border and kill humans, thus upying the entire world.


    As for the small war zones, they were located at the border of the continent.


    The monsters of the Ten Thousand Races that appeared from those spatial cracks were all weak. They mainly carried out riots to scatter the human forces as much as possible and reduce the pressure on the other war zones.


    A general and a few high-level cultivators who held the position of lieutenant general led the battle in the enormous war zone which dominated the fate of the Nine Provinces.


    On the other hand, the fourrge war zones in the north, south, east, and west were overseen by a lieutenant general and a few major generals.


    The armed forces near the war zones were abundant, and the nearby cities were equipped with research institutes and other facilities, ensuring the stability of the front lines.


    Since the four small war zones were closer to the borders, their armed forces were much weaker than the rest.


    However, they still had the ability to wipe out all Type 6 and below monsters.


    The small war zonesprised the southeastern, southwestern, northeastern, and northwestern war zones. The battles there were led by major generals, and their subordinates were brigadier generals.


    Thanks to their presence at the borders and in the war zones, the cities were at peace.


    Far behind, the ordinary people led fairly carefree lives despite being poor.


    Although cultivators were respected by countless people, they faced extreme danger every day. They would only be able to protect themselves in the small and medium-sized war zones once their strength surpassed six stars.


    With that thought, Academician Xu sighed.


    As a lieutenant colonel, he was supposed to serve the country. Currently, he was valued by the official leaders, and he was in charge of the fifth Research Department. However, after so many years, he had not been able to nurture cksmiths who could go to the war zones.


    He focused his gaze and raised his head to the blue sky outside the window.


    His voice was firm as he said, "Professor Liu, don''t worry. I''ll definitely focus on excavating Wu Mo''s talent, nurturing him properly, and providing him with financial support. After all, Minister Wei instructed me to do so before he left."


    Professor Liu nodded and said with a smile, "Sigh, I''m old too. Now that I''ve met a talented person, I''m rushing to invite him to be myst disciple. The old professor haspletely lost face."


    "Hehe, doesn''t this indirectly show that you, Liu Mu, have a unique eye? You should know that when Wu Mo graduated, many well-known organizations invited him to be a research and development manager. In addition, the conditions they offered him were extremely attractive."


    "We''re able to meet Wu Mo now because he gave up many business opportunities and chose the most difficult scientific research work. Over the years, I have seen many talented people, but his moral character still stands out. There has never been a young man who''s been willing to shine for scientific research," Xu Wuyue said with a sigh.


    Then, the two exchanged looks and saw the surprise in each other''s eyes.


    Whether Wu Mo became Academician Xu''s disciple or Liu Mu''s disciple, he was still a member of the fifth Research Department. No matter what kind of technological breakthrough he made in the future, the fifth Research Department would be able to return to its peak.


    "Talented and virtuous, his future is limitless."


    After he said that, Liu Mu turned around and left the testing grounds.


    Academician Xu ced his hands behind his back and slowly paced around Liu Mu.


    It urred to him that Wu Mo''s task was done. With the way Wu Mo was, if Xu Wuyue did not give him a task, he would definitely stay in the internal reference room for the foreseeable future.


    "Old Liu, let''s go to the Strategy Department and help Wu Mo apply for a modification project for the Invisibility Armor. The need for its modification is imminent. If we dy this, Minister Wei won''t be satisfied."

 Chapter 141 Military Leaders With Tingling Scalps

    Hearing Academician Xu''s n, Liu Mu was quite satisfied. He immediately nodded and walked to the Strategy Department.


    The two big shots from the fifth Research Department arrived at the Strategy Department one after the other. With their authority, Project B-1047 was sessfully filed in less than 10 minutes.


    The project''s purpose was to improve the effects of the Invisibility Armor, and the military would provide research funds for a period of three months.


    However, Wu Mo was the only researcher in the project.


    Although this project did not conform to the rules, Academician Xu''s authority was second only to that of the fifth Research Department''s president. Hence, it was not a problem at all.


    Thanks to Academician Xu''sments, the project was quickly approved and reported to the military''s high-level management system.


    Only ranked officers could check and approve projects in the high-level management system.


    Therefore, the only person who could see Wu Mo''s project was the brigadier general in charge of military research and development in the southeastern theater of operations, Liao Dongcheng!


    As usual, Liao Dongcheng was examining and approving all kinds of information and requirements from the front theater of operations.


    Suddenly, he noticed a brand new red dot on the project approval page on hisputer.


    It meant that a new B-level project had been filed into his system.


    It could only be approved after Brigadier General Liao Dongcheng''s review.


    "Huh..."


    Liao Dongcheng let out a light exmation of surprise.


    He was a little surprised. Had they not submitted one B-level project three months ago?


    Why would there be a second project of the same level within such a short period of time?


    One should know that most B-level projects consumed energy and required a lot of researchers to participate in research and development.


    It would inevitably affect the normal process flow, so unless it was an urgent matter, it would not be upgraded to Level B.


    Under normal circumstances, the highest rank would only be Level C, and items below Level C would be reviewed by the mayor of the city. They would not be sent to his system at all.


    Feeling curious, Liao Dongcheng immediately opened the project''s detailed interface.


    Soon, a series of relevant information came out, including a video of the equipment demonstration thatsted only more than a minute.


    Liao Dongcheng was still a little confused when he saw the project approval information because he only saw one unknown neer named Wu Mo.


    However, since it was a B-level project, he continued to read patiently.


    Yet, the more he read, the more surprised he became.


    He was a little taken aback, especially when he saw the equipment''s test data.


    He was the highestmander in the field of military research and development.


    He knew the test data for equipment like the back of his hand. Naturally, he understood what the scores meant.


    After reading the short but signed project information, he grew increasingly excited.


    He wondered if the cksmithing masters of the fifth Research Department had brought out their trump cards and worked together to produce such a powerful improved equipment.


    On second thought, those academicians and professors probably would not participate in the tenth-generationbat suit''s development because there were more important things waiting for them.


    However, if it was not the experienced professionals...


    Who had the ability to carry such a great burden and create such outstanding equipment?<sub> </sub>


    When he scrolled to the video that onlysted a little over a minute, he saw a young man who appeared to be in his twenties activate an armor''s invisibility function.


    His entire body froze on the spot. His mind felt like it had been struck by lightning, and he was shocked beyond words.


    The signature at the end of the application also indicated that the improved armor had an invisibility function.


    The young man''s name, Wu Mo, was written on it.


    Finally, he understood that a neer, who had just entered the Research Department less than three months ago, had forged such excellent armor.


    Liao Dongcheng felt his scalp go numb as he sat in his chair.


    He imagined that if this armor could be installed on every cultivator, it could directly change the situation in the southeastern war zone, where they were being suppressed by the invading Ten Thousand Races!


    The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. Liao Dongcheng''s hands were trembling, and his whole body felt numb as if he had been electrocuted.


    ? He immediately typed on his keyboard and changed the B-level secret item to Level A!


    This was because the item''s attributes couldpletely affect the situation in the southeastern war zone.


    He was a little worried. While the armor had beenpleted by Wu Mo alone, many areas needed to be improved. He was concerned that Wu Mo would not be able to handle everything on his own.


    Moreover, he wanted to meet this young man who had designed the stealth armor because he had never seen the young man''s ideas and improvement ns before. If he did not meet Wu Mo and chat with him, he would feel regretful.


    Once he was done, he immediately made a call. He asked his assistant to clear up his schedule for the next day and make preparation to visit the fifth Research Department.


    Right then, Wu Mo was leisurely reading his notes in the small vi. He never thought that his actions would actually rm the senior leaders of the southeastern theater of operations.


    "Sigh, my ideas are indeed notprehensive enough. There are still many areas of the Invisibility Armor that can be improved on. Besides, it has to be adjusted slightly ording to the battlefield''s terrain. That way, it can be more suited for the first-line cultivators'' use," he sighed and said to himself.


    To be honest, it was not difficult for Wu Mo to improve it, but mass production was tough.


    After all, the Dark Light Wings attached to the surface of the Invisibility Armor''sposite cloth were very few in number. Forget thousands of sets, he could not even make 10 sets at his current capacity.


    On top of that, they would require Tier 2 arrays and all kinds of iid gemstones. If the armor was mass-produced, the expenditure of funds would be like flowing water.


    Thus, one could see that the Invisibility Armor''s road to mass production was fraught withplications unless the official powers could provide all the materials and some researchers with sufficient strength.


    Otherwise, it was unlikely that hundreds of sets could be mass-produced within a few months.


    "Forget it, I don''t want to think about it anymore."


    He turned over on the couch andpletely emptied his mind.


    He had been a little tense for the past few months, trying to improve themission. Now that he hadpleted the outstanding task, it was time for him to rx for a day or two.


    However, for Wu Mo, rxing was not equivalent to going out and ying; it was going to the internal reference room to read more books and absorb the ideas of more master cksmiths.


    Plus, he had gone to the internal reference room several times but never entered the exhibition area.


    Once he resumed his inspection next week, he would have to visit the exhibition area to broaden his knowledge.


    After all, the Divine weapons and armor that were ced there had to be outstanding in a certain aspect. There might even be other Divine equipment.


    For such a long time, he had never seen any other Divine equipment besides Mjolnir in the Nine Provinces.


    The most advanced equipment he had seen so far was Principal Qiu''s Legendary-grade zed Heart Protection Mirror.


    That was a pity for him.


    If he could see more high-quality equipment, he might be able to broaden his horizons or learn more advanced forging techniques.

 Chapter 142 The Brigadier General Arrives

    With that thought, the n in Wu Mo''s heart became clearer.


    He sat up from the recliner and stretched, the bones all over his body crackling.


    "I''ve already read most of this book. It''s time to put it into practice."


    As he spoke, he picked up the thick notebook and walked into his bedroom on the second floor.


    Closing the door and drawing the curtains, he calmed his mind and slowly entered the Divine-grade Forging Space.


    He was prepared to apply some of the techniques he had learned earlier to actualbat.


    ...


    The next morning,Academician Xu and the other professors all arrived at the fifth Research Academy''s main entrance. They were chatting about work in twos and threes.


    It was as if they were waiting for some important person.


    On the other side of Jingdu''s highway, a row of green and domineering military vehicles had appeared on the usually empty emergencyne.


    There was an off-road vehicle that could iste most spirit energy attacks at the center of the row.


    In the vehicle, Liao Dongcheng, who was in charge of military research and development in the southeast, was currently sitting in the back seat, resting with his eyes closed.


    He gave off a fierce aura as his back was straight, and his face looked like it had been cut by a knife and ax.


    The surrounding officers who were escorting all had serious expressions on their faces. They dared not be the slightest bit negligent.


    It was just that they were all rather surprised. Brigadier General Liao was not on the front line to oversee the overall situation of military research and development. Why had hee to Jingdu base city?


    However, Liao Dongcheng was tight-lipped, and he cared very much about military discipline, so he would certainly not tell reveal anything to them.


    It was a top-secret project that he had personally set up. He had to go to the fifth Research Department to understand the matter clearly.


    He slowly opened his eyes and looked out the window. At that moment, rows of military vehicles were moving at a constant speed, upying half of the highway.


    Such arge lineup naturally drew the attention of countless people.


    Many car owners who were stuck on the highway all got out of their cars and took out their phones to take videos. They then posted the rare scene on a video-sharing website.


    As for official agencies that caught wind of the situation after seeing what looked like people from the military arrive in the capital, they all spun into action one after another. They began to clean up any irregrities, thinking that the people from the military were from the Discipline Inspection Commission.


    Even if they were beaten to death, they would never have thought that a brigadier general, who was surrounded by many military vehicles, was actually doing this for a young man in his twenties.


    ...


    At 10.00 am, the military vehicles arrived at the fifth Research Department in an imposing manner.


    Academician Xu, as well as the group of high-ranking professors, had already received the news and made preparations. They immediately weed the military vehicles into the Research Department.


    Looking at the military vehicles with colorful patterns, the old professors who had devoted half their lives to forging Divine weapons had excited expressions on their faces. They thought that the brigadier general was there to award someone a medal.


    Among the people, only Academician Xu and Professor Liu knew that the brigadier general was there for the Invisibility Armor''s improvement project.


    Thud!


    Liao Dongcheng, who was wearing military boots, got down from his vehicle.


    He swept his gaze over his surroundings, directly filtering out the senior researchers and some professors.


    Finally, his gaze stopped on Academician Xu and Professor Liu.


    Both of them were the core figures of the fifth Research Department, and their actual power wasparable to that of the president.


    "General Liao, you''ve endured such a long journey to get here. Thank you for your hard work!"


    Academician Xu and Professor Liu immediately cupped their hands and greeted him respectfully.<sub> </sub>


    Many senior researchers and professors followed suit.


    At the same time, they stole curious nces, wanting to see who would be awarded the medal.


    Liao Dongcheng waved at the crowd and went up to Academician Xu.


    A few adjutants who were apanying him immediately followed, constantly maintaining his safety.


    "Let''s go. Bring me to the researcher who developed the Invisibility Armor."


    Academician Xu promptly nodded in agreement. stepped forward to lead the way, and Liao Dongcheng left with him as many senior researchers looked at him in astonishment.


    The scene stunned plenty of people.


    Was Brigadier General Liao not here to award a medal to one of them?


    Also, what Invisibility Armor was he talking about exactly?


    Those two questions instantly appeared in everyone''s mind. Even the recently-promoted professors were somewhat confused.


    Under normal circumstances, generals in the war zone were not allowed to leave the war zone at will.


    Even the R&D staff behind the scenes had to follow the same rule.


    Therefore, when they learned that Brigadier General Liao from the southeastern war zone wasing to the fifth Research Department, everyone subconsciously thought that he was there to bestow someone with a medal.


    That was because an official from the war zone would only appear during an award ceremony or majormendation.


    However, Brigadier General Liao left with Academician Xu right after he reached the Research Department. It did not seem like he was there to handle those two matters.


    After all, all the Research Department''s senior personnel had already arrived. The other graduate students or ordinary researchers had no business being there.


    Could it be that Brigadier General Liao was not there for them but some unknown researcher?


    That would be big trouble.


    At that thought, everyone immediately started discussing.


    They wanted to know who was such a threat and what kind of contribution had this person made to achieve a technological breakthrough. It even brought Brigadier General Liao, who was hundreds of kilometers away.


    "Forget it. Everyone, disperse. It seems that Brigadier General Liao isn''t here for us at all," Professor Tan said in the crowd. Then, he turned around and walked toward the research building not far away.


    "Hey... do you know anything about the Invisibility Armor General Liao mentioned? I''ve never heard of it."


    "Who knows? Could it be a Level Bmission that was improved yesterday?"


    "Hmm, not necessarily. Even if some of the teams improved it well, it would not be enough to attract the brigadier general. General Liao is a big shot in military research and development. He has seen all kinds of equipment before."


    The crowd discussed for a long time but still found no answer. Soon, they all scattered.


    ? On the other side, Xu Wuyue led General Liao toward Wu Mo''s dormitory vi.


    A group of military vehicles followed them from behind. The passing researchers were all shocked by the scene. If they had not known better, they would have thought that a certain professor was being problematic and the military had sent people over to arrest him.


    The vast and mighty vehicles passed through the asphalt road filled with the sounds of birds chirping and the fragrance of flowers. Soon, they arrived at Wu Mo''s vi.


    The military vehicles parked nearby, almost surrounding the entire vi.


    The roar of the engine gave Wu Mo, who was looking for information, a fright. He ran out of the living room in a hurry. When he saw more than 10 military vehicles parked outside the courtyard door, he waspletely stunned.


    At that moment, he searched through his memories of the past few years. After making sure that he had not done anything bad, he carefully opened the courtyard door and walked out.


    When Wu Mo stepped out of the door, he immediately saw Academician Xu, who was walking at the front of the crowd. He was a little dumbfounded. What happened this early in the morning? Why was the academician creating such a big fuss?

 Chapter 143 Model Scientific Research Award

    When Xu Wuyue saw Wu Mo, he immediately introduced him to General Liao with a smile.


    "General, this is the graduate student you wanted to meet. His name is Wu Mo. Hepleted the Invisibility Armor mentioned in the project on his own."


    Upon hearing Xu Wuyue''s introduction, Liao Dongcheng nodded slightly. Looking at the man''s extremely young face, he was shocked despite being mentally prepared.


    His proficiency in forging the Invisibility Armor was no inferior to that of a veteran cksmith who had been in the field of forging for more than 10 years. However, this person was too young. Liao Dongcheng had seen countless people in his lifetime but the contrast made him sigh internally


    Be that as it may, Liao Dongcheng did not forget the purpose of his visit. He waved to the deputy general beside him, and thetter immediately brought a red box to Wu Mo.


    "Good news. Comrade Wu Mo has made a great contribution to themission of armor improvement. He has achieved third-ss meritorious service. Brigadier General Liao Dongcheng hereby awards Wu Mo the medal for Model Scientific Research. We hope ourrade, Wu Mo will continue to work hard and strive for greater glory in the field of forging."


    As the young deputy general spoke, he opened the red box.


    There was a brand-new certificate and a heavy epaulet that emitted a metallic luster in the box.


    ording to military discipline andw, after scientific researchers or frontline cultivators performed any third-ss meritorious service, they would officially jump ranks in the military.


    Since Wu Mo had just been with the Research Department for less than three months, he was, technically, still stuck at the rank of a new soldier.


    After this "battle," however, he had crossed several ranks and directly reached the rank of second lieutenant.


    In the future, if anyone else saw Wu Mo, they would have to address him as Second Lieutenant Wu.


    Wu Mo did not expect his research and development this time to actually reach the standard of meritorious service.


    He immediately went forward and took the box. Looking at the glittering epaulets, his heart was somewhat excited.


    Not far away, Xu Wuyue saw the situation and sighed emotionally.


    He had been in the Research Department for decades, and very few people could get earn a third-ss meritorious service medal. Wu Mo had only been in the department for less than three months, but he had already received such merit. That was enough to show how powerful he was.


    In the fifth Research Department, only a few professors had reached the rank of second lieutenant.


    All in all, Wu Mo''s efforts over the past few months had crossed a level and height that many researchers had not reached in almost 10 years.


    "As expected of a student who has forged a Divine weapon. He has already shown his mettle in just a few months."


    Right then, as Liao Dongcheng stood at the side, he noticed that Wu Mo was neither servile nor overbearing when he received the award. He told himself that Wu Mo was indeed a good seedling.


    Thinking about it, he could not wait to talk to him. He wanted to know what kind of thoughts Wu Mo had. How did he create a battle armor that could be invisible?!


    Seeing that Brigadier General Liao was walking directly toward Wu Mo, Xu Wuyue and Professor Liu immediately followed him.


    Brigadier General Liao was Xu Wuyue''s veteran senior who had worked with him for many years. Liao Dongcheng was highly respected, and he had an irreceable position in the southeastern war zone.


    Not only was he highly respected, but he also had his own unique insights into the field of forging.


    In the southeastern theater of operations, Brigadier General Liao had made indelible contributions in countless battles against the invading Ten Thousand Races. As such, when he visited the fifth Research Department, the professors and senior researchers paid so much attention to him.


    Hence, as long as Brigadier General Liao focused on Wu Mo, he would definitely be able to soar in the future.<sub> </sub>


    Seeing Brigadier General Liao head toward Wu Mo, Xu Wuyue was afraid that something would go wrong, so quickly followed.


    The others also walked up hastily, afraid that they would miss Brigadier General Liao''s speech.


    "Comrade Wu Mo, Congrattions on obtaining the third-ss Model Scientific Research Medal. You must cherish this honor."


    Liao Dongcheng approached Wu Mo from the front. He smiled and cupped his hands to congratte him.


    Wu Mo''s expression changed. He saw how the this person''s entire body was exuding a fierce aura. He had to be one of themanders in the war zone, so Wu Mo replied with a serious expression.


    "Thank you for your concern and approval, Sir. Regarding the Invisibility Armor''s improvement, I will definitely do my best."


    Hearing Wu Mo''s reply, Liao Dongcheng nodded his head in approval.


    "The Invisibility Armor''s improvement should indeed be on the agenda, but I am a little curious about how you connected the invisibility effect with the wings of the Dark Light Butterflies. As far as I know, the wings of those butterflies do not have such a function!"


    Liao Dongcheng changed the subject and immediately asked Wu Mo the question that had troubled him for almost a day.


    What surprised him the most about the armor forged by Wu Mo was the invisibility function.


    He could not sleep at night and figure out the trick, especially after reading the project''s information, which stated that the armor''s invisibility function actually relied on Dark Light Wings.


    Wu Mo, who was standing at the entrance of the courtyard, finally understood the purpose of Brigadier General Liao''s visit when he heard what the man said.


    He did not expect his improvement n to attract a big shot from the war zone to personally visit him.


    However, it was also a little convenient for him. After all, Liao Dongcheng was the head of the Military Research and Development Department. His understanding of standard armor was definitely higher than his. When the time came, he might even be able to give him some guidance and advice.


    Once Wu Mo thought of the opportunity to discuss with the head of military research and development, he immediately began to talk non-stop.


    "General Liao, actually, making armor invisible does not require sophisticated technology. The reason why it can achieve the effect of invisibility is mainly because of the Dark Light Wings'' characteristics. All you need to do is to stick the wings to the surface of the armor when it is cast and install a device that can shift the angle freely."


    "When that happens, the ores embedded on the armor will provide energy, allowing the Dark Light wings on the armor''s surface to shift the angle automatically ording to the surrounding environment, eventually forming the effect of physical invisibility."


    When he reached this point, Wu Mo immediately took out the Invisibility Armor from his Interspatial Ring so that Brigadier General Liao could easily understand him. Then, he kept the award as well as epaulets.


    A white light shed in front of him, and Liao Dongcheng saw the Invisibility Armor that was the same as in the picture. It appeared in Wu Mo''s hands.


    Under the sunlight''s refraction, the Invisibility Armor, which was the color of the starry sky, immediately glowed.


    Wu Mo used his hand to gently touch the armor''s surface. Soon after, the Dark Light Wings on the armor immediately changed angles, making a small part of the armor invisible.


    Although Liao Dongcheng had already seen the Invisibility Armor''s effect in the project file, he was still shocked when he saw it with his own eyes.


    It was hard to imagine that the 20-year-old graduate student standing in front of him had such a wonderful idea to apply the Dark Light Wings to such extent. Others thought they were useless and did not even store them the material banks.


    That showed how imaginative Wu Mo''s idea was!


    "General Liao, this is my humble work. You can have a look at it," Wu Mo said and immediately handed the Invisibility Armor over to him.

 Chapter 144 Plan For Mass Production

    At that moment, Liao Dongcheng, who was used to big situations, was at a loss when faced with the new armor.


    He took it carefully and was even more surprised when he felt its light weight and cool touch.


    Liao Dongcheng had provided many excellent armors and other military products to the front war zone in the past decade or so.


    Despite that, the armor lying in his hands was beyond hismon sense and knowledge. It even made him waver a little on heavy armor.


    After all, evenbat suits could have such outstanding defensive power. Moreover, mobility and lightness were areas that could not be matched by heavy armor. In the future, heavy armor could bepletely reced by armor-type equipment.


    Suppressing the strong shock in his heart, Liao Dongcheng raised his head to look at Wu Mo before him and subconsciously asked, "Comrade Wu Mo, I wonder if we can mass produce the Invisibility Armor in the future?


    "If we want to realize this, what difficulties do we need to ovee? How do we work together?"


    Liao Dongcheng asked a few questions that concerned him the most.


    Xu Wuyue, who was standing at the side, noticed his anxious look and knew that Brigadier General Lia must bepletely focused on the Invisibility Armor.


    The two deputy generals who followed Liao Dongcheng all year round were also surprised right then. Their leader was usually meticulous and calm. He would be fearless even in the face of an emergency.


    It was their first time seeing Brigadier General Liao so anxious. They wondered what contribution did this graduate student named Wu Mo make in the field of forging to make the leader treat him like this.


    However,unlike the surprised deputy generals, Professor Liu, who was standing on Xu Wuyue''s right, appeared incredibly nervous.


    He hoped that Brigadier General Liao''s conversation with Wu Mo this time would be smooth and that the project would be sessfully finalized. One that happened, the fifth Research Department would definitely spare no effort to help Wu Mo carry out the mass production n.


    At that time, the Invisibility Armor''s contribution on the battlefield would also help the fifth Research Department return to its peak.


    It would be an existenceparable to the General Institute among the many research institutes in the Nine Provinces.


    Everyone focused their attention as Wu Mo lowered his eyes slightly. He thought for a moment and replied, "General Liao, the Invisibility Armor''s mass production n can be carried out."


    When Professor Liu heard Wu Mo''s words, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief.


    However, before anyone else could question him, Wu Mo continued.


    "But mass production will inevitably involve a few difficulties. For example, the use of the Dark Light Wings for the invisibility materials. Since it''s rtively difficult to obtain, this problem regarding the material is quiteplicated. Moreover, the Invisibility Armor still requires runes and Tier 2 arrays. It will inevitably cause the production process to be slow. If we want to mass produce it, we need a lot of manpower and material resources," Wu Mo honestly exined the problems.


    After hearing those words, the originally happy Professor Liu suddenly became worried.


    With those two problems, Brigadier General Liao might put the project on hold temporarily because it was difficult toplete.


    After all, everything was unknown before it was decided.


    When Xu Wuyue and Liao Dongcheng heard Wu Mo''s statement, they immediately began to discuss it.


    They discussed how to solve the problem and discuss the feasibility of avable methods.


    "Regarding the Dark Light Wings problem, there are currently many Dark Light Butterflies in the mountain range behind the Research Department. However, it would be difficult to get enough just by gathering them. If we can get the materials from the headquarters, we might be able to gather enough."<sub> </sub>


    Xu Wuyue raised his opinion on the material issue.


    As the pir of the fifth Research Department, he naturally knew how many kinds of materials the department had.


    Liao Dongcheng frowned slightly. After a moment, he nodded and said, "No problem. When I go back, the Research Department''s headquarters will issue an approval. I will try to gather all the Dark Light Wings needed to mass produce the Invisibility Armor within three days."


    In Liao Dongcheng''s view, the Dark Light Wings were not valuable materials, but they were rtively difficult to obtain.


    However, the Nine Provinces was so vast that the number of Dark Light Butterflies was naturally not small. Moreover, this creature did not participate in the natural ecology. Even if its numbers were reduced on arge scale, it would not have an impact on the city''s ecosystem.


    Inparison, mass production of the Invisibility Armor was more important.


    As for the iid gemstones or the casting materials used for drawing the armor, the fifth Research Department had them all. They only needed to transfer some senior researchers from other ces to work on this together. They should be able to mass produce the Invisibility Armor soon.


    With that thought, Brigadier General Liao immediately made his decision and decided to settle the matter.


    "Comrade Wu Mo, you will have full authority to handle the armor''s modification and mass production. If there are any difficulties during this period, you can mention it. We will mobilize all resources to help you. As long as you can cast the Invisibility Armor, then all the problems will not be a problem!" Brigadier General Liao said firmly,pletely expressing his attitude.


    Professor Liu finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    He hadpletely misjudged the degree of care that Brigadier General Liao had for this project.


    He did not expect that under such circumstances, Liao Dongcheng would still ovee all difficulties and decide on the project.


    He felt excited as he thought about it. Nextto him, Academician Xu also revealed a smile as expected.


    "Thank you, General Liao, for your support. As long as the materials are ready, I am confident that I will be able to forge 100 sets of improved Invisibility Armor within three months!"


    Seeing that Brigadier General Liao was so supportive of his improvement, as well as mass production projects, and giving it his all, Wu Mo would not disappoint his expectations.


    Furthermore, he was confident that he would be able to obtain the improved Invisibility Armor. Now that he had the help of the leaders from the war zone and the Research Department, it was like adding wings to a tiger.


    With the support of various resources, forging 100 sets of Invisibility Armor in three months would not be a particrly difficult task for him.


    "Alright, alright. Everything will proceed ording to your n. I believe that with your intelligence and skilled forging ability, you will be able toplete it."


    Liao Dongcheng was extremely happy after he received an exact answer from Wu Mo.


    He smiled and pped his hands to praise Wu Mo.


    The young man''s ability was beyond his expectations. Not only was he humble and hardworking, but he also had a rare academic spirit. He was the most outstanding genius he had seen in recent years.


    One should know that 100 sets of Invisibility Armor was enough to equip two peak squads.


    When the time came, the squad that wore the improved version of the Invisibility Armor would definitely be unstoppable in the battle against the invading Ten Thousand Races. It would change the slightly depressed morale of the entire southeastern war zone!


    "You tter me, General Liao. I actually managed to forge the Invisibility Armor because I borrowed the forging ideas and techniques of many master cksmiths. I''m just an ordinary person who picked up the wisdom of others."

 Chapter 145 State-Level Agency Document

    Wu Mo did not lose his way despite being praised by the leaders. He was aware that his sess in forging the Invisibility Armor was all thanks to the system''s blueprint. If he had modified it himself, it would have been impossible for him to make such exquisite armor.


    His current skill was only at the level of a five-star cksmith. Although he had read many masters'' notes and books by now, his ability was far inferior to those of senior researchers. At the very most, he might just be a notch above the others in terms of creativity.


    "Comrade Wu Mo, don''t be too modest. The fact that you were able to forge an Invisibility Armor is enough to show that your strength is extraordinary. With our 100-year history of forging, thousands of exquisite forging books have been passed down. However, in the past 100 years, not many people have been able to use the knowledge within freely. If you were able to adapt these forging concepts and techniques for your own use, how can you be considered to have picked up the wisdom of others?" Liao Dongcheng said with a smile.


    He was increasingly pleased with Wu Mo. The young man''s strength was outstanding, and he maintained a self-deprecating attitude. Such spirit was especially valuable.


    Over the years, he had seen many brilliant geniuses. However, those people were all arrogant because of their talent. In the end, history watched as they disappeared into obscurity.


    Only Wu Mo still maintained the attitude of learning new knowledge and humility despite his strength.


    It was something that many people could not do.


    Speaking of which, Liao Dongcheng suddenly thought of something and said, "Oh, right, Wu Mo, myrade, if you have timeter, you can sort out the technology and materials for forging the Invisibility Armor. In the future, you can write a paper and publish it. That will also help increase your reputation."


    Wu Mo wanted to reject Liao Dongcheng''s suggestion at first.


    After all, reputation and other simr external things were all meaningless in his opinion. They were simply not useful in increasing one''s strength.


    However, he quickly changed his mind. Publishing a thesis was also an opportunity to increase the fifth Research Department''s honor.


    Ultimately, it was thanks to Instructor Zhou and Academician Xu that he could attend the fifth Research Department and visit the internal reference room to read the books of those great masters.


    He would have to repay this favor sooner orter, so he might as well lend them a hand.


    In any case, the fifth Research Department was his second alma mater, so it was a good thing for Wu Mo.


    After contemting for a while, Wu Mo had an idea in his mind.


    He nodded and spoke to Brigadier General Liao with a smile, "Thank you for your guidance, General Liao. I will sort out the materials needed for the publication, but I''d like to focus on my research quietly. I don''t want to be disturbed by the outside world."


    "Don''t write my personal signature on this paper. Please change the signature to the Fifth Research Institute''s Special Team. After all, I will have to trouble my other colleagues for follow-up improvements as well as research and development."


    The moment Wu Mo said this, several leaders standing in front of the gate felt better about him.


    Xu Wuyue nodded with great satisfaction. Wu Mo''s actions had unwittingly added honor to the fifth Research Department. On top of that, if the Invisibility Armor could disy its might on the battlefield, the fifth Research Department could use the opportunity to return to its peak!


    It would gain the attention of the central inner court.


    Several deputy generals beside Brigadier General Liao looked at Wu Mo with admiration.


    Nowadays, very few young people who were not well-known would be devoted to research.


    Professor Liu was even more satisfied. He found Wu Wo more pleasing to the eye and felt that his future prospects might be even higher than he had expected!


    Liao Dongcheng, who was surrounded by the crowd, nodded slightly. There was joy in his eyes as he stored Wu Mo''s name in his memories.


    At that moment, a person walked out of the military vehicle not far behind him. The person held an urgent document in his hand and immediately handed it over to a deputy general. The deputy general then passed it to Liao Dongcheng.<sub> </sub>


    After reading a few pages of the urgent document, it instantly dawned upon him.


    Yesterday, when he changed the Level B project to top secret, the project appeared in the system of thoserge war zones.


    Since a top-secret project was not a trivial matter, the state-level agency had sent a few master cksmiths to evaluate and duplicate the armor overnight as well as provide valuable suggestions for improvement.


    The urgent document had been transmitted to their hands in less than 24 hours.


    Presumably, the military leaders of the biggest war zone also took this project very seriously.


    As Liao Dongcheng thought of that, he felt proud about changing the Level B project into a top-secret file yesterday.


    He told himself that his vision was as sharp as when he was young.


    Liao Dongcheng immediately handed the document over to Wu Mo.


    After all, the subsequent improvement projects would be fully run by Wu Mo and the fifth Research Department. The guidelines should be of great significance to them.


    One should know that the military leaders of the four war zones were all famous figures. Their forging abilities had already reached the seven-star realm.


    They were like old monsters, and Divine weapons were like naked beauties before them. They could easily see through the twists and turns of their skills.


    Therefore, it was a precious opportunity for all cksmiths to receivements and suggestions from these masters.


    Wu Mo took the document and subconsciously nced at the information on it.


    He originally thought that it was an official document from Brigadier General Liao.


    However, at that moment, he was surprised to find that there were dense numbers and different strokes printed on it.


    With just a cursory nce, Wu Mo was attracted by the information, so he began to read it seriously.


    After reading a small part of it, he confirmed that the document contained opinions on the improvement of his Invisibility Armor.


    However, he was not sure about the organization that issued the document. Nevertheless, looking at the vigorous handwriting, it had likely been recorded by a cksmith because the contents of the document pointed out the inadequacies of the Invisibility Armor.


    Moreover, there were detailed records of the Invisibility Armor''s data to the decimal point. Clearly, his Invisibility Armor had been thoroughly analyzed. Many features were also pointed out in the documents, features that even he himself did not know about.


    "Gasp... General Liao, how did you get this document?"


    Wu Mo was a little surprised. It had been less than 24 hours since the Invisibility Armor he forged passed the test.


    Why would someone who knew so much about armor provide so many direct suggestions for improvements? It was of great benefit to him!


    Seeing that Wu Mo was confused, Liao Dongcheng promptly exined with a smile.


    "Comrade Wu Mo, the military''s Research and Development Department in the northern war zone issued this document. The suggestions and improvements on the document were all made by several seven-star master cksmiths. It''s a rare opportunity for those elders to give their suggestions. You have to understand them well."

 Chapter 146 Conference

    Hearing Liao Dongcheng''s exnation, Academician Xu and Professor Liu, who were standing behind him, immediately became astonished.


    Seven-star master cksmith... In the entire fifth Research Department, only the president had reached that level.


    Even in the entire capital, a mere few had reached such heights.


    Every cksmith dreamed of the opportunity to receive guidance from a seven-star cksmith.


    Who would have thought that Wu Mo would actually receive such treatment?


    One should know that although there was only a difference of one rank between a six-star and seven-star cksmith, the gap in their strength was pretty much like heaven and earth.


    A cksmith could only step into the high-end domain when his or her strength reached the seven-star level.


    Only then would the cksmith fulfill enough criteria to forge a Divine weapon.


    Based on this point alone, one could see how rare seven-star cksmiths were.


    There were very few seven-star cksmiths in the entire Nine Provinces. Those old monstrous master cksmiths were often entrenched around the various war zones.


    They were core figures who could control the battle situation, and they were, simultaneously, one of the most precious resources in the Nine Provinces.


    Receiving the guidance of a seven-star master cksmith could be considered a very good surprise for Wu Mo.


    Wu Mo''s heart was filled with excitement. He lowered his head and looked at the various information rted to the armor, as well as the suggestions for improvement provided by the various master cksmiths. He felt as if he was enlightened after receiving the document. He suddenly had an epiphany.


    He sensed that if he had followed the suggestions provided by the cksmiths before he forged the armor, the final product in the test would have been better.


    Additionally, many of the ideas in the document were things that he had never thought of before. The notes also mentioned many blind spots outside of his knowledge, so Wu Mo could not understand them at the moment.


    The only thing he could be sure of was that if everything had been arranged ording to the opinions of the master cksmiths, the Invisibility Armor''s scores might have increased by a lot.


    He could not help but sigh in his heart when he thought about it. The research institutions that belonged to the four war zones were indeed amazing.


    In less than a day, they had thoroughly researched his Invisibility Armor, and their opinions were also extremely concise. Not only had they solved his current predicament, but they had also improved the methods and alleviated the technical difficulties of mass forging in the future. At this point, it was a natural process.


    There was indeed no end to learning in the field of forging. It contained countless knowledge and all kinds of forging experience. It was likely that he would not be able to grasp everything even if he spent his entire life on it.


    Noticing that Wu Mo seemed unable to extricate himself from it, Liao Dongcheng immediately asked with a smile, "How is it? How is the professional advice from the forging masters?"


    As the highest leader in military research and development, his own forging knowledge and ability were extremely strong too, but he was still stuck at the peak of the six-star level.


    He had remained on that level for many years because he had not been able toprehend the mysteries of the seven-star advancement.


    Hence, even he was extremely impressed by the professional information in the document.


    "Yes, yes."<sub> </sub>


    Right then, Wu Mo was still engrossed in the contents of the document, and he did not pay attention to Brigadier General Liao''s words at all.


    However, after a moment, he reacted and raised his head in a hurry. "General Liao, the opinions from these forging experts are very detailed andpatible with the Invisibility Armor''s concept. With these documents, the implementation of the project will definitely be smoother," he said with some embarrassment.


    "In the past, I didn''t think that seven-star cksmiths were that powerful. But now, I have a good understanding of their strength. The opinions given are simply golden words of wisdom. I have benefited greatly," Wu Mo said with a face full of admiration.


    He still looked excited, and when he spoke, he danced with joy as if he had not separated from the research.


    "If there''s a chance in the future, I really want to have an in-depth discussion with those big shots in the forging academic world," he subconsciously said from the bottom of his heart.


    Liao Dongcheng nodded slightly. He could see that Wu Mo was obsessed with the test values on the document and the opinions given by the big shots.


    At the same time, he also greatly admired a professional like Wu Mo, who had a straightforward personality and worked hard on his research.


    In his opinion, such talents were rare. He had to give them enough attention and a tform for development.


    With that in mind, Liao Dongcheng coughed lightly. His tone was casual as he said, "Wu Mo, at the end of the year, there will be a forging exchange conference in the country. During the event, every research institute and major war zone will send a group of top-notch cksmiths to attend the conference.


    "When we arrive at the conference venue, not only will everyone be able to observe the technical summary and finished products of all kinds of top-secret weapons, but they will also see many master cksmiths who have been operating behind the scenes. Those people usually sit alone in the study and devote themselves to research. Even I rarely see them. You won''t find seven- to eight-star cksmithscking among them."


    Hearing Brigadier General Liao''s words, Wu Mo''s eyes immediately lit up. At the same time, he listened attentively, afraid that he would miss a word.


    Seeing this, Liao Dongcheng''s lips curled up into a smile as he continued to speak.


    "Oh, right, there will be plenty of powerful military officers who will be conducting practicalbat tests at the conference. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. However, I''m just casually telling you about it. I wonder if you''re willing to go?"


    "Huh?" Wu Mo subconsciously blurted out.


    Then, he instantly said, "Do you even need to ask? Of course, I''m willing to go."


    When he thought of the chance to have a discussion with those master cksmiths at the conference, Wu Mo''s eyes were filled with anticipation.


    It was something that he naturally could not miss. Just a few amendments in the document had already enlightened him. If he could have a discussion and research on the field of forging with the big bosses, it would no doubt be of great help to his strength!


    As the idea upied his mind, Wu Mo asked, "General Liao, I would like to ask, what are the requirements to participate in this conference? And what are the rules?"


    Witnessing Wu Mo''s anxious look, Liao Dongcheng did not intend to keep the suspense. He immediately exined, "Every year, the cksmith conference is held as scheduled. It is aimed at the elite talents of various organizations. Only young talents in the field of forging are qualified to participate. Every cksmith who''s good enough to participate in the conference is like a dragon. They all have their own ideas and forging skills."


    At this point, he sighed slightly. "Although the leaders of the western theater of operations and I have high hopes for you, the requirements for participating in the conference cannot be changed. Your current self has yet to meet the standards."


    "In that case, what are the standards for participating in the conference? I can work hard. After all, there is still some time before the end of the year. Please believe in me, General Liao!"


    Wu Mo quickly asked as he was a little nervous. He did not care about things like houses and cars. He just did not want to miss the opportunity to have a deep conversation with a master cksmith.

 Chapter 147 The Annual Conference

    Liao Dongcheng gestured with his hand, and Wu Mo realized that he was getting a little impatient. He immediately quieted down and looked at Liao Dongcheng with a calm gaze.


    Liao Dongcheng nodded in satisfaction. He held up two fingers and said, "To participate in the Annual Exchange Conference, you have to meet two hard requirements.


    "First, participants of the conference must have a letter of rmendation written by a brigadier general or higher.


    "Second, you mustplete three forging projects with technological breakthroughs."


    Liao Dongcheng paused for a moment, then continued in a slightly heavy tone. "Only by fulfilling the above two requirements can you obtain a ce at the summit. The Invisibility Armor you''ve forged is considered a breakthrough. You need toplete the remaining two within half a year.


    Hearing Liao Dongcheng''s words, both Xu Wuyue and Liu Mu, who were standing behind him, gasped.


    It was already impossible for a senior researcher toplete a project on par with the Invisibility Armor in half a year, much less Wu Mo, who had just entered the Research Department!


    The remaining time was too short, and breakthrough projects were not so easy toplete. It would probably be difficult for Wu Mo to participate in this year''s exchange conference.


    At that moment, not only did the two of them feel that it was difficult, but the two deputy generals behind Liao Dongcheng shook their heads slightly too. They felt sorry for Wu Mo''s inability to participate in the conference.


    In their opinion, Wu Mo was indeed a good seedling. He had shown outstanding talent as soon as he entered the Research Department. It was just that he had been there for too short a time and could not meet the second requirement.


    Those who could participate in the conference at the end of the year were all senior figures in various institutions. They were often over 40 years old, and they would have been doing research in the institution for more than 10 years beforepleting three breakthrough projects.


    At that moment, the air was a little thick.


    Liao Dongcheng looked at Wu Mo with a smile and waited quietly, wanting to know what he was thinking.


    Wu Mo slowly raised his head. His expression was filled with determination as he seriously said, "General Liao, I''m confident that I canplete the remaining two technological breakthroughs in the next six months. Please rest assured!


    p p!


    Liao Dongcheng pped his hands in appreciation, satisfied with Wu Mo''s unwavering attitude.


    "Alright, I''ll await your news. As long as you can produce two more research results this year and qualify for the conference, I''ll prepare the rmendation letter for you!"


    "Thank you, General Liao. It''s a deal!"


    Wu Mo nodded excitedly. He was looking forward to the Annual Exchange Conference. After all, the biggest taboo of forging was to be overly subjective and disregard the outside world. He had personally experienced that period when he was in the Divine Arms Academy.


    Therefore, he was now eager to have a deep discussion with a master cksmith about skill issues.


    After all, just going to the internal reference room to read the notes and books would never be as straightforward as talking to those experts in person.


    "It''s a deal. I''m looking forward to seeing you at the social gathering," Brigadier GeneralLiao said with a smile.


    Then, he subconsciously looked at the time and realized that it was almost noon. There was not much time left to attend to other matters on his schedule.


    "Alright, I''m about to leave. I''ll see you at the conference!"


    After he finished speaking, he walked toward his vehicle. Academician Xu and Professor Liu immediately went forward to see him off.


    Meanwhile, Wu Mo bowed as he watched him leave.


    The military vehicles that were parked nearby started up, and the roar instantly resounded in the area.


    The two deputy generals sat in the back of the armored vehicle before Liao Dongcheng stopped and separated from the fifth Research Department''s two core personnel.


    "Okay, you don''t have to see me off. I still have to oversee other matters. Thank you for supporting the fifth Research Department for so many years," Liao Dongcheng walked to the front passenger seat and said with a smile.<sub> </sub>


    Xu Wuyue respectfully replied, "Thank you, General Liao, for all these years of cultivation. It is our duty."


    Professor Liu also cupped his hands with haste and said, "General Liao, please take care of yourself. The military of the southeastern war zone still depends on you. If there''s anything in the future, you can contact me by phone. It''s too dangerous to travel back and forth.


    Liao Dongcheng nodded. He looked at Xu Wuyue and patted him on the shoulder.


    "Wu Yue, you''ve made a great contribution this time. You used special means to issue a letter of appointment to Wu Mo and finally recruited him to our fifth Research Department. Although this contribution does not warrant a third-ss meritorious medal, it is not a problem to add one or two points to your year-end rating. Alright, that''s enough chit-chat. I''m leaving."


    With that, Liao Dongcheng waved his hand and went straight to the front passenger seat. He opened the door and sat inside.


    The armored car roared as it started and sped toward the main entrance.


    Xu Wuyue and Professor Liu looked in the direction where Brigadier General Liao had disappeared and sighed.


    "Tsk, Old Xu, you''ve made a profit again. You''ve gained two points for your year-end assessment, which is enough to make you an outstanding academician."


    Professor Liu grinned and immediately teased Xu Wuyue.


    "This is all to Wu Mo''s credit. I just took the opportunity to gain some good fortune."


    Xu Wuyue was overjoyed, but he still pretended to be calm about it.


    In their Research Department, it had always been the disciples who relied on their master''s status to gain face. It was the first time that a master had benefited from his closed-door disciple.


    Seeing the two of them approach him, Wu Mo immediately cupped his hands and said, "Academician Xu, Professor Liu."


    "You''ve worked hard. Take a break for the next two days. Once you''ve collected yourself, you can take on other projects!" Xu Wuyue said with a smile.


    Professor Liu put his hands behind his back and looked at Wu Mo with eyes full of fondness.


    "Okay, I''ll listen to your suggestion, Academician Xu."


    Wu Mo nodded. He really needed to rest for the next two days and adjust his state of mind.


    It would be impossible toplete improvements and mass production in the future without being in good condition.


    After bidding farewell to the two, Wu Mo pushed open the courtyard door and returned to the courtyard where the recliner was ced.


    As he at the lush green sulents andndscape nts on both sides, Wu Mo''s heart slowly calmed down.


    With a light tap of his finger, a white sh appeared, and the document from Brigadier General Liao materialized in his hands.


    Since Brigadier General Liao was present earlier, Wu Mo only skimmed through it for a while and did not notice a lot of information.


    Now that he had time, he immediately began to study the suggestions given by the master cksmiths, as well as the values that did not appear during the Invisibility Armor''s review test.


    He read from 11.00 am to 3.00 pm.


    He was almost intoxicated. On asion, he would fall into deep thought when he came into contact with information that he did not understand. And sometimes, he would feel happy when heprehended some ideas.


    Wu Mopletely digested the short 1000-word report and suggestions.


    His state of flow was only broken by hunger.

 Chapter 148 Immersed In Scientific Research

    Growl...


    Wu Mo suddenly stood up, his expression filled with excitement.


    "It''s possible to improve it like that? Those master cksmiths really have a profound way of thinking. They''ve solved many problems this way!" he subconsciously muttered.


    He was just about to enter the Divine-grade Forging Space to experiment, but he had not even eaten lunch yet, and his legs were feeling somewhat weak.


    "Forget it, let''s go to the cafeteria to eat something first."


    Rubbing his protesting stomach, Wu Mo had to suppress his desire to try things out immediately and walk to the cafeteria not far away.


    It was past three o''clock in the afternoon. Since he had missed the peak period, there were only a few people in the cafeteria at the moment.


    Wu Mo sat in a corner of the canteen, writing and drawing on the table with his wet index finger as if he was thinking.


    In other people''s eyes, it just seemed like a childish thing to do. However, right then, Wu Mo was still immersed in the idea of improving the Invisibility Armor. He was working on it bit by bit on the table ording to the opinions given by the forging masters.


    From Wu Mo''s point of view, what was on the table was not a water stain, but a disy screen that was calcting data in real-time. Every drop of water and line represented a huge amount of information that he had to constantly improve.


    "Your dishes are ready."


    Soon, two dishes and a bowl of rice were ced on the table, whichpletely interrupted Wu Mo''s thoughts.


    "Oh, thank you."


    Wu Mo thanked the man politely. When he turned around and saw that the water patterns had been destroyed beyond recognition, he could only sigh and pick up his chopsticks to eat.


    Today''s lunch consisted of hot tomato scrambled eggs and spicy chicken, but Wu Mo was not in the mood to enjoy the food.


    All he could think about was how to improve the Invisibility Armor. He just wanted to fill his stomach and go back to verifying his ideas.


    He finished all the food in about 10 minutes.


    Then, he wiped his mouth with a napkin and walked out of the cafeteria in a hurry.


    The waiter saw him rushing and could not help but shake his head. What a strange person.


    Wu Mo left the cafeteria and quickly returned home.


    He closed the courtyard door first before he immediately returned to his bedroom on the second floor.


    Sitting on the bed, he gradually closed his eyes and calmed his mind.


    p However, the process of entering the forging space this time was particrly long. After a full 10 seconds, Wu Mo finally stopped sensing his hearing and touch.</anda>


    Perhaps he was too excited, so much so that he could not calm down in a short time.


    He opened his eyes and looked at the gray mist and the familiar work table in front of him.


    Wu Wo immediately took out the special document from his Interspatial Ring and began a new round of experiments, as well as determining the general direction of improvement.


    He first carried out gradual experiments ording to the improvement suggestions given by the master cksmiths, slowly adjusting some weak areas while bncing the values.


    The first step was to adjust the Invisibility Armor''s size to make it more flexible so that it could be used by most cultivators. It would be lighter as a result.


    As for the size, the Military Department from the western theater of operations had already given him a numerical range. Provided that the waist and sleeve length were well controlled, the corresponding effect could be achieved.


    Then came the problem of infrared cloaking. This required the use of a certain film material that covered the gap between theposite cloth and the wings so that it could achieve the effect of invisibility under the perception of infrared.


    However, improvement was a long-term thing. It was difficult to see results in a short time. Wu Mo was not in that much of a hurry. Instead, he focused on studying it step by step.


    After an unknown amount of time, Wu Mo''s spirit started to feel a little tired.


    He knew that things could not be done overnight. Most improvements could only bepleted with sufficient materials.<sub> </sub>


    Thinking of this, Wu Mo immediately quietened his mind and slowly left the forging space where there was no concept of time.


    He returned to his bedroom.


    Although it was only a little over four in the afternoon, mental fatigue wasing over him in like a tide.


    Wu Mo stretchedzily and washed up as fast as he could before he went back to bed.


    Perhaps the questions in his heart had been answered, or perhaps he was too tired, but he fell asleep very quickly on the bed.


    The sky outside the window grew dark, and the breeze blew the leaves gently in the quiet courtyard.


    asionally, researchers in whiteb coats would rush past the lush, green streets.


    Everything was in order as usual.


    ....


    The next morning, Wu Mo was in the yard, reading a book that he had almost memorized.


    Hey back in the chair, bored and passively enjoying the sun.


    He had actually woken up very early this morning.


    Maybe since he had fallen asleep at five o''clock in the evening, he was awake before four in the morning.


    He could not sleep anymore. Feeling refreshed, he simply ran around his house.


    After enjoying that satisfying feeling that he had not felt for a long time, he went to the cafeteria to have a good breakfast.


    When he returned to his vi, it was only eight o ''clock. Since the quota for the internal reference room was only restored every Monday, he felt bored and had to pick up his book again.


    He continued reading until around 9.30 am.


    Now that there was nothing to see, Wu Mo started to consider whether he should forge something so that Mjolnir would not be left in the corner of the Interspatial Ring.


    Although the independent space would not age or turn things into ashes, Wu Mo always felt that his connection to Mjolnir would be a bit rusty if he did not use it for a while.


    However, just as he was about to carry out his n, he saw a familiar ck business car stop in front of his door.


    Wu Mo put down his book and stood up from the recliner. He immediately noticed Zhou Ning, who was getting out of the car, and Academician Xu, whom he had just met yesterday.


    Wu Mo was a little surprised. He quickly went forward to open the courtyard door and curiously asked, "Academician Xu, Assistant Zhou, what brings you here?"


    "I have a mission for you, of course."


    Zhou Ning walked forward with a smile and handed the young man a blue-covered folder.


    "Second Lieutenant Wu, it''s only been a few days since west met, but your reputation is getting bigger and bigger."


    Wu Mo felt a little embarrassed when he heard Zhou Ning''s teasing tone.


    He had not gotten used to his new identity and had always felt that he was just an unremarkable new recruit.


    Fortunately, the news did not spread widely because of the project''s confidential nature. It was likely that only a small number of people in the fifth Research Department knew about it.


    As for Zhou Ning, she was in charge of managing the project files. Furthermore, every file contained detailed information, so she naturally noticed the change in Wu Mo''s military rank.


    "Zhou Ning, it''s good that you''re aware of this, but don''t say it out loud in public. It''ll only add to Wu Mo''s stress."


    Academician Xu, who was standing on the side, shook his head helplessly and immediately warned her.


    Since Academician Xu had spoken, Zhou Ning did not dare to say no. She obediently nodded in a hurry.

 Chapter 149 A New Mission

    She was still very surprised by Wu Mo''s promotion even though she realized that it might have something to do with the Invisibility Armor.


    It was shocking that Wu Mo had been promoted from a soldier to a second lieutenant.


    In the fifth Research Department, there were many senior researchers who were still sergeants or corporals.


    Even many professors were mere lieutenants. Only Academician Xu and Professor Liu had reached the ranks of lieutenant colonel and major respectively because of their outstanding contributions.


    In the entire fifth Research Department, the president was the only one who had reached the position of colonel.


    As for the ranked generals, they were all scattered on the battlefield, offering their youth and time for the city''s safety.


    Wu Mo was already considered outstanding among his peers to reach the rank of lieutenant before 30.


    Not to mention, Wu Mo had only been in the official organization for less than three months, and one could say that he was quite strong!


    Zhou Ning sighed internally.


    Wu Mo, who was standing at the door, immediately opened the document curiously. He wanted to see what task Academician Xu had assigned him.


    It was amission for improving the design of standard weapons.


    After seeing the line of words in themission, Wu Mo felt a little confused.


    Good fellow,e again!


    He had just broken into the base of standard equipment!


    Xu Wuyue saw the change in Wu Mo''s expression and immediately exined with a smile, "Wu Mo, this is the new task that I''ve arranged for you. However, there''s no rush for thismission. You just have toplete it within half a year.


    Wu Mo heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that the time limit was rtively loose.


    He was so focused on the improvement and mass production of the Invisibility Armor that he would not be able toplete another urgent task.


    He could take it if the project was not urgent.


    After all, the core technology of standard weaponry was very advanced. If he could master it all, it would be helpful for him to improve his strength.


    With that in mind, Wu Mo promptly nodded and said, "Okay, Academician Xu, I''ll ept this task."


    If he wanted to improve his skills, he would need a lot of practice. It was not a bad thing for Wu Mo to get in touch with new knowledge as soon as possible.


    Xu Wuyue patted Wu Mo''s shoulder and spoke with a kind smile. "In three days, the Third Military Region of North China will be holding a drill. You can tag along and watch it. You can gain insight into the soldiers fighting against the beasts on the front line.


    "We need to understand the military''s basic situation. That way, we can improve and design new standard weapons ording to the soldiers'' needs."


    Speaking of which, Xu Wuyue remembered an emergency from a few years ago. He had been sent to the first battle area in North China temporarily to put himself in the urgent research and development of equipment.


    That time, he had personally seen countless soldiers and generals bathed in blood. He had even seen the ferocious creatures of the Ten Thousand Races through a telescope.


    On the battlefield, there would always be the loss of lives. For the safety of their homes and the people of the Nine Provinces, even if soldiers died in the war zone, the rest never took a step back, vowing to protect the border''s defense with their lives.


    "Phew..."


    Xu Wuyue felt as if there was a huge rock on his chest.


    There was an inexplicable sense of urgency.


    "Academician Xu, I''ll be fine. Don''t worry."


    Wu Mo immediately exined because he noticed that Academician Xu was a little absent-minded, so he thought that Academician Xu was worried about his work progress.


    Xu Wuyue only recovered from his state of absence after Wu Mo''s words.


    His throat was a little dry, and his eyes had be sharper.


    "Well, there''s still a long time. Don''t stay up toote every day. If you ruin your health, it won''t be worth it."


    Xu Wuyue turned around and left.<sub> </sub>


    Zhou Ning gave Wu Mo a deep look and entered the ck business car right after. She then left the dormitory area with Academician Xu.


    After the car disappeared on the road, Wu Mo put the document back into his Interspatial Ring.


    "Hmm, it seems like this is a good opportunity."


    Wu Mo''s eyes flickered slightly. He thought that this was a good opportunity to make a breakthrough in research. If he could improve the standard weapon, it would be considered as two technological breakthroughs, and he would naturally be one step closer to his ticket to the exchange!


    Realizing this, Wu Mo could not help but walk a little more briskly. He was ready to continue working on the transformation of the Invisibility Armor.


    He took out his phone and opened the National Artifact Research Department''s app to send a message to the staff in the materials warehouse.


    ording to the priority of the project, the required materials must be delivered as soon as possible.


    Therefore, he immediately made a list of the materials needed to improve the armor and sent it to the staff.


    Everything went as he expected. Less than half an hour after he sent the message, the roar of an engine came from outside the courtyard.


    The staff of the materials warehouse delivered all the materials listed by Wu Mo, without missing a single one.


    "Mr. Wu, please sign here."


    A young man in his 30s handed over the confirmation form and a pen while he panted heavily.


    Wu Mo checked the materials first. After confirming that everything was in order, he signed for it.


    "You''ve worked hard."


    He snapped his fingers, and a white light shed in front of him. Therge box of materials instantly disappeared.


    The staff of the materials warehouse looked at Wu Mo with envy, thinking that if everyone in their Department could have a ring like that, would it not greatly increase their work efficiency?


    He could just get a motorcycle and deliver the goods.


    After sending off the people from the materials warehouse, Wu Mo immediately returned to the vi.


    He closed the door of the living room and prepared to go to the second floor to begin his work.


    What he needed to do now was to improve and mass-produce. He could do the improvement alone. As for the mass-production, he would need many researchers to work together.


    Tap tap tap tap... He ran up to the second floor.


    Wu Mo closed the door and drew the curtains, adjusting himself to work.


    He still maintained the same curiosity and passion as before when it came to forging. Even if he worked for seven to eight hours continuously, he would not feel bored at all.


    He slowly closed his eyes and calmed his mind, allowing his five senses to be cut off.


    His entire being was immersed in a kind of floating feeling.


    When he opened his eyes again, there was only endless darkness in front of him.


    Only the workbench, furnace, and forging-rted equipment area were emitting white light.


    Wu Mo first opened the interface of the system store and spent 400 points to buy two miniature spirit power recovery potions.


    After all, improving was a long battle. Even if there were sufficient materials, it was not something that could bepleted in a short time.


    He quickly walked to the work desk and snapped his fingers again. The materials he had obtained earlier appeared on the work desk.


    Looking at the colorful materials before him, Wu Mo could not help but praise them in his heart.


    As expected of the fifth Research Department... They had such an extensive warehouse of materials.


    Wu Mo picked up a Parasol Tree Core that was as white as jade and felt the slight coolness that passed to his fingertips. He then began to n the steps for this improvement.

 Chapter 150 Crystal Refinement Technique

    Yesterday, he had already adjusted the data of the Invisibility Armor to a reasonable range.


    Now, it was not as difficult to put on and take off the armor as before, and the next step was to use the existing materials to improve the functions of the Invisibility Armor.


    For example, it was impossible to avoid infrared detection, and there were small ws in the connection of the armor. Finally, there was the appearance problem. Although the pursuit of the extreme practicality of the armor was pursued, the appearance of the armor also needed to be paid attention to.


    If these steps were to be broken down, it would probably take more than a dozen procedures.


    After he had a detailed n, he immediately started working.


    Wu mo quickly sorted out the materials in the box, then threw the corresponding materials into the furnace for preliminary tempering.


    Because the furnace in the casting space had been upgraded, the upper limit temperature of the furnace had been raised to 3100 degrees, so the tempering speed this time was very fast.


    It didn''t take long for the heterogeneous materials to turn into a pure fluid, which was poured into the crucible by Wu mo to cool.


    After that, heid the invisible armor on the work table and removed the invisibility devices on it one by one.


    This was because he needed to cover ayer of film between the stealth armor and the stealth device to prevent them from being detected by the infrared thermal image.


    This process was not difficult for Wu mo. He just needed enough patience because these devices were very fragile. If they were slightly damaged, it could affect the invisibility effect.


    Therefore, Wu mo was very careful during the whole process. The film that could block infrared detection was usually only two millimeters thick. In order to ensure that the armor could maintain a normal heat dissipation function, Wu mo also made detailed modifications on it.


    It ensured that the heat dissipation function was not affected while it could iste infrared detection.


    The inspiration for this improvement also came from the forging Masters in the Western battle area.


    Those master cksmiths had never even seen the actual body of the invisible armor, but they were able to give opinions that even Wu mo was convinced of. This achievement had simply reached the peak of perfection.


    While he was sighing in his heart, Wu mo continued with his other work.


    In less than half an hour, he hadpleted several improvements.


    The rest of the work wasn''t difficult for him. After a good start, the rest of the work seemed to be even more satisfactory.


    About two hours passed in the forging space, and more than half of the improvement work was alreadypleted.


    During this time, he used the casting machine and the upgraded furnace. In therge casting space, his figure was busy, and he was immersed in it.


    It was only when his mind became a little groggy and his mental energy was exhausted that he slowly stopped.


    Looking at the almostpleted invisible armor on the work table, Wu mo felt a sense of aplishment.


    He hadpleted so manyplicated processes by himself, and everything had been done in an orderly manner without using the backtracking function.


    Although a big reason for this was that Wu mo had read the annotations of those master cksmiths, the improvement of his own forging ability was also one of the important reasons.


    Feeling the growth in his forging skills, Wu mo was a little excited.


    During his time in the fifth Research Institute, his strength had improved even faster than in the divine weapon Academy, and all kinds of theoretical knowledge had been greatly supplemented.


    It had basically achieved all-round development in all aspects. It was no longer a Young Eagle that only relied on the system, but an Eagle that had grown feathers and could spread its wings to soar!


    Just as Wu mo was sighing to himself, an ethereal voice suddenly sounded in his mind, causing him to be slightly stunned.<sub> </sub>


    ding! Congrattions to the host for reaching intermediate five-star in forging. You have abundant theoretical and practical knowledge in all aspects. You will be rewarded with the forging technique, the fine crystal technique!


    The system''s voice echoed in his mind. Wu mo immediately calmed down and chanted in his heart.


    The next moment, a dark blue system interface appeared in front of him, showing a translucent state.


    On the system desktop that was suspended in the air, lines of text introducing the refinement technique appeared, allowing Wu mo to immediately understand the mystery.


    Crystal refinement was a type of forging technique. When forging materials, it could refine the crystals in weapons or armor, making them stronger and tougher.


    After reading the instructions, Wu mo immediately felt a memory enter his mind.


    This was the operation technique and practical experience of crystal refinement.


    Although it was his first time, he had the help of the system, so he quickly mastered it.


    After a while, Wu mo took a deep breath. His bright eyes stared at the chaotic space of nothingness, but the corners of his mouth curved up.


    "Crystal refinement? Interesting knowledge!"


    He muttered to himself, but his heart was still not calm.


    After being in the field of forging for such a long time, this was the first time he had learned that there was actually the existence of crystals in metal.


    Every time iron, gold, silver, and other metals were melted in the furnace and then cooled down, the crystals would slowly recover. If there was no interference in this process, the condensed iron or metal blocks would maintain their original performance and hardness.


    If a special technique was used to interfere with the metal before it was condensed, the crystal inside the metal would be refined after the condensation, as dense as gravel turning into sand.


    p Thepact and fine crystal structure would change the original hardness of the metal, making its performance more excellent.</anda>


    Wu mo was surprised because he didn''t know that there were crystals inside the metal. He thought that there were only corresponding elements and that melting them was just to make the metals fuse better.


    The crystal refinement technique was a blind spot for him!


    If he hadn''t received the system''s reward ande into contact with this kind of information, he would probably never have known this kind of knowledge in his entire life.


    This was a more terrifying existence than the information cocoon room.


    A single piece of knowledge had already broken his worldview. There must be more existences that were more powerful than the refined crystal technique in the entire field of forging.


    And those things could never be touched by imagination alone.


    The knowledge was like a small light spot in the forging world, and the Gxy above was formed by countless light spots.


    In the field of forging, the techniques and principles that he understood now were just insignificant grains of sand in the world of forging.


    At the thought of this, Wu mo felt all the hair on his body stand up. He felt as if an electric current had passed through his body, making him numb.


    To him, those forging techniques were simply out of reach. He was afraid that even if he spent his entire life, he would not be able to fully understand them.


    However, even though the road was long, Wu mo did not n to give up. He only felt that he was extremely small in the field of forging. In the hundred years of history, he was not worth mentioning in front of those great people.

 Chapter 151 Graduation Party

    ''Even if the road is long, I will search from top to bottom!''


    At this moment, the fighting spirit in Wu Mo''s heart seemed to have been ignited. He was not willing to be like this. He did not want to be easily buried in the masses. If he could not leave a mark in the forging history that belonged to him, then wouldn''t this journey in the human world be in vain?


    Thinking of this, Wu Mo immediately took out the spiritual power recovery potion he had exchanged earlier. After drinking it in one gulp, he once again devoted himself to the improvement of the invisible armor.


    He only left the Divine-grade Forging Space and returned to the real world when his mental energy waspletely exhausted and his physical strength could no longer support him.


    When he opened his tired eyes, he was greeted by a familiar room.


    Wu Mo did not even have time to check the time before he fell into a deep sleep.


    The extremeck of mental power made it impossible for him to stay awake, and this sleepsted for ten hours.


    When he received the weapon improvementmission from Academician Xu, it was only around 10.00 am


    However, when Wu Mo slowly woke up, it was already dark outside the window.


    The summer insects were chirping happily in the grass, and the bright moon hung in the sky, scattering a silver light.


    The buildings near the fifth Research Department had fallen into darkness without any light.


    Wu mo got up from the bed with some effort. He took a deep breath and rubbed his temples subconsciously.


    Even after ten hours, the spirit energy in his mind had not recovered much.


    Even now, Wu Mo could still feel a little dizzy.


    However, he was very happy in his heart. Just this time, his improvement of the Invisibility Armor was close to the end. There were only two more steps to go before he couldplete it.


    After that, he only needed to focus on the problem of mass production, which relieved a lot of Wu Mo''s burden.


    Moreover, not only had his strength increased in the forging space, but he had also obtained the crystal refinement technique. In the future, when he cast weapons or armor, their performance would definitely be better.


    when I have the chance, I''ll go to the capital city''s cksmith Guild to take the grade assessment. I''m starting to lose my self-confidence from wearing the four-star cksmith uniform all the time.


    Standing in front of the full-length mirror, Wu Mo adjusted his cor and muttered to himself.


    After putting on his clothes, he subconsciously picked up his phone on the bedside table, intending to see what time it was.


    After he turned on the screen, he realized that there was a missed call on his phone, and the name of the caller was Professor Zhou Yan.


    Wu Mo looked at the time again. It was already half past nine in the evening.


    Although the smithing space could greatly slow down the flow of time, the consumption of mental strength was too huge. One would feel tired after staying in it for ten hours, not to mention drawing arrays, drawing designs, and other tasks that consumed more mental strength.


    When he was in the Divine Arms Academy, he could only stay for about seven to eight hours.


    Although the time had increased, it still hadn''t reached the level he needed. Even if he took the medicine, he could only hold on for a few more hours.


    Perhaps there were gains and losses.


    After all, time passed very slowly in the space. There were also many high-quality casting machines, such as a casting machine, a furnace, and a cooling tform. These were all expensive items that cost more than a million yuan in real life.


    Moreover, it had the invaluable function of looking back.


    It was eptable to consume more spiritual power.


    He thought that if his strength reached six stars in the future, he should be able to stay for two more hours. After all, his spirit power would also improve by then.


    Looking at the missed call on his phone, Wu Mo opened it and saw that it was a call from Professor Zhou Yan ten minutes ago. He immediately called back.


    While he was waiting, Wu Mo could not help but sigh when he saw the familiar phone number.<sub> </sub>


    During his time at the Divine Arms Academy, he had received Professor Zhou Yan''s guidance and care many times. Furthermore, she had given him enough patience when he was focused on building a divine weapon behind closed doors.


    Wu mo was a little confused. It had been almost three months since he graduated, and his teacher suddenly called him. Could something have happened?


    Dudu dudu...


    The call was picked up, and at the same time, Professor Zhou Yan''s gentle and familiar voice could be heard from the other end.


    "Wu Mo, long time no see... Why didn''t you pick up your phone earlier? I was just about to call again."


    Professor Zhou Yan curiously asked on the other end of the phone.


    "Ahem, I just went out for a while. Professor Zhou, may I know why you''re calling?"


    Wu Mo randomly found an excuse to change the subject.


    "Umm... it''s like this. Our Divine Arms Academy is organizing a graduation gathering. Do you have time at that time? The other students will being."


    After hearing Professor Zhou Yan''s words, Wu mo suddenly felt a little embarrassed.


    He still had two missions on hand. Although he had three months toplete the mission, Wu mo still wanted toplete it in a short time. After all, no one knew what would happen after that. Besides, he had to go to the 3rd Military Region in North China to participate in the drill in a few days, so he didn''t have much time.


    It was because of the tight schedule that Wu mo wanted to finish it as soon as possible.


    In addition, Wu Mo wasn''t really interested in the ss reunion. After all, the students who graduated from the Divine Arms Academy didn''t have much contact with each other. Even if they went, they would only be able to make small talk.


    After that, they still went their separate ways.


    However, this invitation was given by Professor Zhou Yan, so Wu Mo could not easily reject it.


    After all, he had personally experienced Professor Zhou Yan''s care and concern for him all these years in the Divine Arms Academy.


    Even though they had already separated, he still had to give her some face.


    "Yes... I''ll be free tomorrow, Professor Zhou."


    After thinking for a while, Wu Mo agreed.


    "Okay, then it''s a deal. The address is Golden Age Restaurant in Shanglin City. You cane at 11.00 am."


    Professor Zhou sounded very happy from the other end of the phone as if she was a little surprised that Wu Mo had agreed to this.


    "Alright, teacher Zhou. I''ll definitely be there tomorrow."


    Oh, right, Wu Mo, how have you been in the Research Department recently? have you adapted well?" Zhou Yan asked curiously.


    Wu Mo thought for a moment. "It''s pretty good. There are many senior researchers with strong forging skills here. There are also many advanced instruments. I can learn a lot of new knowledge here. I''m already used to it."


    "That''s good. It''ste now, so I won''t disturb you."


    "Alright, Professor Zhou. Goodbye."


    After hanging up the phone, Wu Mo stood by the bedroom window and looked outside. His heart was a little shaken.


    A few months "time had already passed, and the divine weapon Academy had weed a new batch of students. As for the cksmiths who had graduated, they would be running around, never to be in contact with each other again.


    Attending the ss reunion was just a waste of time.


    At this thought, a pretty face appeared in Wu Mo''s mind.

 Chapter 152 Late At Night In The Internal Reference Room

    Her small face was fair and delicate, and there were faint dimples at the corner of her mouth. She was cute and had a hint of charm that moved people''s hearts.


    Actually, it was quite nice to have a gathering.


    Wu Mo touched his nose and walked out subconsciously.


    He stepped on the luxurious esctor to the first floor and pushed open the door. A gentle breeze blew on his face, lifting his spirit.


    It was almost 10 o''clock at night, so the internal reference room should be closed by now.


    Scratching his head, Wu Mo did not know what to do.


    He had already rested for more than 10 hours, so he was naturally not sleepy at all.


    However, it was toote now, and most of the areas in the Research Institute were closed. He did not know where to go even if he wanted to.


    In any case, he couldn''t fall asleep now, and his mental energy hadn''t fully recovered yet, so he couldn''t enter the forging space for the time being.


    At this moment, he suddenly felt bored.


    However, there was no point in staying at home. With the mentality of trying his luck, he left the vi and walked in the direction of the internal information room. He wanted to see if the internal information room was closed at night.


    After all, it would be a new Monday after midnight, so he could enter and borrow books again.


    He closed the vi''s courtyard door.


    Wu mo walked briskly on the asphalt road.


    The dark green shrubs on both sides of the road swayed left and right in the breeze. The entire journey was so quiet that only the sound of his footsteps could be heard.


    The light from the streetmp was a little dim, and it was quite artistic to walk alone on the quiet path.


    The Research Institute looked a little deste in the middle of the night. The high-rise buildings were covered in ayer of shadow. There seemed to be patrolling staff in the distance, patrolling back and forth with shlights.


    After walking for about seven or eight minutes, Wu mo finally arrived at the internal staff room located not far from the strategic deployment building.


    At 10.10 pm, the door of the internal information room was still emitting an orange light.


    Wu mo saw his target from far away.


    He was a little excited and surprised at the same time.


    <o>,m He didn''t expect the internal reference Room to be open to the public sote at night.</o>


    However, he still had to wait until after midnight before he could regain the number of times he could enter. There were still nearly two hours before midnight. Especially after knowing that the internal reference Room would be open again at night, he felt that time was passing too slowly.


    Just as he was considering whether to go back, a shlight suddenly shone on him.


    "Who''s there?"


    The guard on duty standing at the door of the internal information room said with a vignt look.


    Sorry, I''m a graduate student at the fifth Research Institute. I''m sorry to disturb your work.


    Wu mo immediately turned around and said apologetically.


    The guard in his forties frowned slightly, but he didn''t let his guard down because of the other party''s words.


    "It''s sote, what are you doing here so sneakily?"


    Wu mo smiled helplessly when he heard the questioning tone in the other party''s words.


    "I just wanted to see if the internal staff room would open at night, so I could take a walk."


    At this moment, the guard had already walked to Wu Mo''s side. When he noticed that Wu mo was wearing a graduate student''s uniform, the vignce in his heart finally dissipated a little.


    "Do you have the authority to enter the internal reference Room?"


    The guard saw that Wu Mo''s facial features still had a trace of inexperience and immediately asked in confusion.


    "Yes, academician Xu personally agreed to it. You can check it out."<sub> </sub>


    Wu mo scratched his head and said in embarrassment.


    He felt that he had caused trouble for the other party.


    Perhaps no researchers woulde to the internal reference Room at this hour.


    The guard was skeptical. He sized Wu mo up and then asked tentatively, " alright,e over and register. The internal information room in our research Institute is usually open 24 hours a day.


    After hearing the Guard''s exnation, Wu mo nodded and immediately followed behind him.


    The two of them quickly arrived at the door of the internal reference Room.


    The internal information room was about 30 square meters.


    In the corner of the room, there was an office area formed byputer tables and chairs. Everyone who entered the internal information room had to register here.


    On the other wall, there was a sealed door.


    That was the only way to the internal reference Room.


    Outside the door were two almost fully armed guards, and inside were two staff members. One was responsible for the registration of borrowing books, and the other was responsible for the maintenance of the books and logbooks in the internal reference Room.


    Wu mo followed the guard to the bar counter.


    He immediately took out the library card he had prepared, as well as the three books he had borrowed from the internal reference Roomst week.


    The guard was relieved to see that.


    The staff member was responsible for checking the condition of the three books. At the same time, he found out that Wu mo was not qualified to enter the internal reference Room. He would only return to normal after midnight.


    "It''s already sote, and you''re still in the internal reference Room to look up information. Did you take on an emergency project?"


    The Registrar in uniform immediately asked curiously.


    Wu mo shook his head in embarrassment and exined, " no, I just didn''t want to sleep and wanted toe out for a walk. I didn''t expect the internal reference Room to be open sote at night.


    He took the card and answered truthfully.


    The Registrar immediately showed an understanding expression. I didn''t expect the new graduate students to be under so much pressure. They actually want to secretly borrow the inner volume. I understand that you want to improve your mood as soon as possible. I see that you can only borrow it after midnight. It''s a waste of time to wait, so I''ll let you in early.


    As the staff member spoke, he immediately entered a series of instructions on the keyboard. The next moment, the door of the internal information room, which was seamlessly embedded in the wall, slowly opened.


    Seeing this, Wu mo was stunned.


    Did Yingluo misunderstand something?


    He was puzzled, but he thought that since the number of uses had already been used up, it would be a waste not to go. He would ask this big brother after he came out.


    Seeing that the door of the internal reference Room waspletely open, Wu mo immediately walked in.


    The Registrar looked at Wu Mo''s disappearing back and couldn''t help but be touched by Wu Mo''s strong spirit of seeking knowledge.


    At ten O ''clock in the evening, they still had to secretly do the inner examination. This year, the work situation in nine regions was still tense.


    However, the reason why he came to such a conclusion was because he had connected the information he had seen with his own imagination.


    He didn''t know that the person standing in front of him was a genuine second lieutenant who had been awarded third-ss individual merit and the title of scientific research model within three months of entering the Research Institute.


    However, he had indeed helped Wu mo a lot by helping him make use of his time.


    On the other side.


    In the internal reference Room, Wu mo watched the heavy iron door close and immediately went to the book area.


    This time, he nned to pick three different books to read. After all, he only had two chances to borrow books a week, and he had to find the most useful book each time.


    However, because he wanted to go to the military area to take a look, this process was shortened by a lot. He found three books that aroused his desire to read in ten minutes.

 Chapter 153 A Powerful Forging Item!

    After choosing three books that were more suitable for him, Wu Mo immediately walked to another area of the internal reference room with excitement.


    The exhibition area in the internal reference room was very different from the book area.


    The book section often stored the notes of many master cksmiths, as well as rted forging books.


    The exhibition area was used to disy the excellent works made by the forging masters of the past generations.


    These excellent works could not only help students to broaden their minds and broaden their horizons, but they could also help them find inspiration and encourage them to create stronger equipment.


    Moreover, every piece of equipment in the exhibition area was extremely precious, and their prices were usually above ten million.


    Because of this, the valuable equipment was stored in the exhibition area. Arge part of the reason why the internal information Office was so strict was that there were many valuable works stored here.


    Moreover, the works that could be disyed in the exhibition area were not only of high quality, but they were also usually applied with groundbreaking forging technology. Even in the talented fifth Research Institute, there were only less than 100 works that could meet the exhibition standards.


    Wu mo lifted the curtain and quickly walked into the exhibition area.


    Although he had mentally prepared himself before entering that this ce might be different from the previous book area, he was still shocked by the scene that appeared before him when he entered.


    The exhibits area in the internal reference Room covered an area of less than 300 square meters, but the interior decoration was quite exquisite.


    The surrounding walls were light gray, and even if one stayed here for a long time, one would not feel visual fatigue.


    On the three walls of the room, there was a disy shelf with a gilded frame. Through the ss, one could see the divine weapons and Saint armors emitting a dense light.


    Compared to the book area, the decoration style here was more solemn.


    There were also three HD cameras in the exhibit area that could capture every move of everyone in the exhibit area.


    At this moment, Wu Mo was the first to arrive at the wall on the left.


    Through the special ss, he could clearly see the equipment ced inside, and even the slightest detail could be seen clearly.


    Next to the work was a white sign, on which was written the test attributes of the work and its performance in various fields.


    It allowed the people who came to the exhibition area to understand the power of this piece of art.


    However, most of what was written on the sign were test data, as well as the overall idea of the forging work and the forging techniques used.


    The fact that it didn''t fully materialize the attributes and abilities of the entire work meant that others didn''t know the true abilities and attributes of the work.


    However, it was worth acknowledging that the works disyed here were all unique and priceless divine weapons.


    However, all the equipment in the exhibit area had been further ssified from head to toe.


    Hats, scarves, weapons, armors, and so on. Every piece of equipment was made by a master. Wu mo only took a nce at them, and he could not contain the excitement in his heart.


    This was because all the equipment that appeared in the exhibit area was at least of epic grade.


    As soon as Wu mo entered the shop, he was immediately attracted by a piece of equipment.


    It was a green scarf that had been ssified as an essory. The surface of the scarf was smooth and reflected a faint light. On both sides of the scarf were lines of mysterious golden patterns. One end of the scarf was even carved with a lifelike Mystic bird.


    With just one look, Wu mo knew that this was definitely an excellent piece of equipment.


    The entire scarf was emitting a faint orange glow, making people subconsciously want to touch it.


    Wu Mo''s brows raised slightly. He wanted to know what the effect of this scarf was.


    After all, to understand a piece of equipment, knowing the forging technique was far from enough.<sub> </sub>


    system, identify the attributes of this scarf!


    Wu mo muttered in his heart.


    A momentter, an ethereal voice sounded in his mind.


    [ equipment appraisalpleted. 100 points spent. Remaining points: 229686. Equipment data disyed. ]


    As soon as he finished speaking, a dark blue, translucent system interface appeared in front of him. The scarf''s attributes and effects appeared before his eyes.


    [Equipment Type: essory


    [Equipment Name: Green Feather Scarf.


    [Equipment Grade: Legendary


    [Equipment Score: 83 points.


    [Equipment Effects: 1. Crane Plume (Double the damage of the first attack on the enemy. Cooldown: 4 hours)


    [2. Green de (When using short or mid-ranged weapons, movement speed will increase by 25%.)


    [3. Three ck Birds Scatter (Activation Effect: Activates spirit energy shock wave, stunning everyone within a one-meter radius. The dizzy effectsts for one second but can be dispelled by a higher-level purification effect. Cooldown: 7 days.)


    [4. Flowing Waves of the Jade Sea (Immune to the long-range attacks of cultivators below six stars once. The effect will recover after 10 hours of battle.)


    [System Evaluation: This is a very practical piece of equipment. Moreover, as it is an essory, it does not upy any space on other pieces of equipment, making it even more valuable. Just from the detailed handling and forging technique, I can conclude that this was made by a master cksmith of at least seven stars.]


    Seeing this, Wu Mo was shocked.


    This legendary green feather scarf was just an essory, but it could disy such a great effect.


    Moreover, the four equipment effects were very practical. They had a huge amplification effect on actualbat.


    Apart from Thor''s hammer, Wu Mo did not have any other equipment that was as powerful as this.


    Even the Sharp Leather Bracelet on his wrist did not have such a powerful effect.


    Just from this point, it could be seen that in the field of forging, that seven-star Master had already reached the point of perfection.


    Ordinary essories could only y a supporting role, but this Green Feather Scarf was definitely a C-rank item. It was still not inferior to Legendary-grade armor and weapons.


    Moreover, this piece of equipment was only one of the hundreds of items on disy.


    In the entire exhibition area, there were quite a few pieces of equipment that had reached such a level.


    Thinking of this, Wu Mo couldn''t help but sigh.


    In the Nine Provinces, there were various experts in the field of casting, and there were countless craftsmen. To be able to cast such powerful equipment, the person''s name must have been well-known.


    Even in the fifth Research Department, in addition to Academician Xu and many professors, there must be many powerful people.


    Wu mo retracted his gaze and continued to look at the other exhibits.


    There were gloves that emitted a blood-red glow, a white cloak with countless runes printed on it, and all kinds of exhibits that dazzled his eyes.


    However, Wu Mo didn''t have the desire to appraise it.


    Although the grade of the equipment was not low, their structure and forging technique were not as exquisite as the Green Feather Scarf. This made him feel that in terms of attributes and effects, these items should not beparable to the first equipment he had set his eyes on.

 Chapter 154 Comprehension

    Soon, he came to the shoe exhibit.


    His eyes fell on a pair of red boots.


    The design of the red boots was unique, and the surface of the boots was soft but very bright. The blue gems iid on the toes were a little out of ce with the overall color, which was why Wu Mo''s attention was immediately attracted.


    He thought that the cksmiths who were six stars and above would not be able toe up with such a stiff design.


    After thinking for a moment, he decided to understand.


    He also subconsciously felt that this equipment''s grade might be higher than the green feather scarf!


    After all, this was the first pair of shoes in the shoe exhibition. There must be a deeper reason for the staff in the internal reference Room to put it here.


    system, please identify the attributes of this pair of shoes.


    He muttered in his heart, and the next moment, an attribute panel immediately appeared in front of him.


    [ appraisalplete. 300 points consumed. Equipment data is as follows. ]


    [ equipment Type: Boots ] Silk boots.


    [ equipment grade: quasi-divine artifact, equipment score: 91 points ]


    [ equipment effect: effect 1: sunset glow (strike down any flying objects within 10 meters, nullifying them. Cooldown time: 7 days.) ]


    [ Effect 2: silk garment (immune to attacks from weapons below legendary tier for 5 seconds. Cooldown: 2 days.) ]


    [ effect: third-rate fragrance (marks footprints with fragrance. When activated, teleport to a location for five seconds. Cooldown: 1 hour.) ]


    Effect: four cloud steps (after activation, floating ability increases by 50% for 10 seconds. Cooldown: 1 hour)


    [ effect 5: confusion (permanently gains 15% evasion.) ]


    [ additional rune: rank three rune Sage (permanently increases mental power recovery speed by 60%, immune to negative mental effects below rank three) ]


    [ equipment evaluation: this is a multi-functional shoe that focuses on defense. Whether it is the cooperation between effects or testing in various scenes, it is perfect. As a quasi-divine artifact, it is well-deserved. ]


    The dark blue system interface slowly dissipated, and Wu Mo''s heart could not calm down for a long time.


    This pair of brocade boots had an indescribable impact on his senses.


    Not only did the equipment have a variety of defensive effects, but they were also extremely practical. Wearing this equipment, one could even escape from the pursuit of an enemy of a higher realm.


    Nullifying flying objects, teleporting back to five seconds ago, the ability to float, and immunity to attacks from weapons below legendary-level. Just one of these effects alone was enough to shock the eyes.


    However, this pair of shoes had four effects in one, and it even had the ability to recover mental power and be immune to negative mental effects below the third rank. It was simply a top-tier item!


    Although a quasi-divine artifact was only at the level between a legendary artifact and a divine artifact, Wu mo had forged a divine artifact himself, so he naturally understood the difference between the two. It could be said to be the difference between cloud and mud.


    However, it was so powerful that it could achieve such a powerful effect with the quasi-divine artifact grade.


    Thinking of this, Wu mo sighed in his heart.


    Compared to those works in the exhibit area, his Thor''s hammer didn''t look that brilliant anymore.


    Seeing so many excellent works, Wu mo had a clearer understanding of the gap between himself and a master cksmith.


    In the field of forging, there was no end to learning, and the road ahead was long.


    If he wascent because he had made a breakthrough in his strength, he was destined to not be a master cksmith who was respected by thousands of people.


    Only by constantly reflecting and learning the ideas and techniques of those Masters could one possibly reach the realm of the sages.


    Wu mo was clear that he was only a student in the field of forging, and he still had a long way to go.


    As his heart gradually calmed down, Wu mo focused his gaze and continued to look at the other exhibits.


    After all, they could onlye to the internal reference Room twice a week, and they could not waste two hours each time.


    He continued to appreciate those expensive works, trying to analyze the mysteries and the forging techniques used.


    Although he couldn''t understand most of the works, he could see some of them and the reasons for some of the effects.<sub> </sub>


    Just like that, Wu mo took a quick look around. The exhibits around him were too much for his eyes to take in, and he didn''t know where to look.


    He stayed in the exhibits area for nearly half an hour and had basically visited all the exhibits.


    There were many that he remembered deeply, but only a few were identified by the system.


    Because his current strength was still not high, even if he was determined, he could only concretize the values and effects. He did not understand the core concept of forging and the techniques used.


    He walked out of the exhibition area.


    Wu mo heaved a sigh of relief.


    Coming to the internal reference Room this time was a valuable experience for him.


    It allowed him to see hundreds of pieces of equipment with creative ideas.


    His understanding of forging had be deeper.


    He went to the wall and pressed the button.


    The heavy door was slowly opened, and he quickly walked out.


    Outside the door, two staff members were talking about something. The guards outside the door were still standing straight, guarding the information security of the internal staff room.


    "What''s wrong? you''re out so quickly?"


    Behind the bar counter, the young Registrar saw Wu mo walk out of the internal staff room and immediately asked curiously.


    here, these are the books I borrowed. Please register them.


    Wu mo snapped his fingers, and a white light immediately shed on the bar. The next moment, three thick books appeared on it.


    "Yi, Yi, Yi."


    "Do you usually read these books?"


    The young Registrar subconsciously nced at the items on the table, but when he found that they were two heavy forging books, his expression suddenly became surprised.


    In his impression, only senior researchers would read these things. The younger ones often borrowed the knowledge exnations published by the country, and they were far from this level.


    well, these are more suitable for me. It''ste now, I have to go back quickly.


    Wu mo nodded and said with a calm expression.


    The Registrar was touched. He felt that the research in front of him was more obsessed with forging than most people, and it would definitely have great achievements in the future.


    "Alright, the registration isplete."


    Okay, thank you. I''ll go first.


    Wu mo put the three books back into his interspatial ring and waved goodbye.


    However, he had only taken a few steps when he suddenly remembered that he had to exin his identity before he entered.


    However, when he turned around, the Registrar was already lying on the bar counter, seemingly resting.


    "Sigh, forget it."


    Wu mo pouted and quickly left.


    He walked out of the internal staff room and exchanged a few words with the middle-aged security guard standing at the door.


    As the night grew darker, he hurried home.


    The sky was full of stars. On the asphalt road, the guard looked at the young man whose figure was elongated by the streetmp, and he was deep in thought.


    Taking advantage of the night, Wu mo returned to the vi.


    He returned to his bedroom, turned on the tablemp on the bedside table, and began to read the book he had just borrowed from the internal reference Room.

 Chapter 155 The Class Reunion

    "Strengthening Techniques for Equipment Made of Different Materials ", "Deep Thoughts Triggered by 100 Forging Works ", and "Advanced Magic Circle Drawing Guide"...


    The three books touched upon different fields. Although Wu Mo had alreadyprehended many of them, he was still entranced by them.


    Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the next day.


    The sky outside the window turned from dark to bright, and Wu Mo finally put down the book in his hand.


    He looked out of the window in a daze, as if he was thinking about why the night was so long.


    After reading three books for nearly seven hours, Wu mo felt like he had fallen into a sea of knowledge. Throughout the whole process, except for the asional movement of his sore shoulders and neck, his eyes almost never left the books.


    He didn''t even know it until the next morning.


    wuwuwu, it''s already the second day? "


    Wu mo stretchedzily, and his whole body made a series of ''pa pa'' sounds. There was an indescribable feeling of soreness all over his body.


    He subconsciously looked at his phone and found that it was already 6:30 in the morning.


    "Oh, I think I''m going to upper forest City for a ss reunion today."


    Sitting up on the bed, Wu mo recalled the phone call he had with teacher Zhou Yast night.


    "Gugugugugugu."


    His stomach also made a noise, which made Wu mo a little dumbfounded.


    As expected, spiritual food was not enough.


    He went to the bathroom and quickly brushed his teeth in front of the mirror. After wiping his face, he went to the closet and picked out his clothes for the ss reunion.


    As the ce they were going to was not a formal asion, they did not need to wear the cksmith''s exclusive clothes.


    After a while, he chose afortable set of casual clothes.


    He was wearing a in t-shirt and a pair of dark blue, stic cks.


    Wu mo put on his coat and rushed downstairs.


    When he arrived downstairs, Wu mo immediately called academician Xu. He nned to exin his current situation to the academician and ask for leave.


    toot phone rang a few times before it was picked up.


    "Wu mo, you''re calling me so early. Did something happen?"


    On the other end of the phone, academician Xu''s calm voice could be heard. He was confused about Wu mo calling him so early in the morning.


    well, academician Xu, I''m almost done with the improvement of the invisible Warframe, but the mass production is still in the preparation stage. I have to go to upper forest City for a ss reunion this afternoon, so I''m afraid I can''t leave the fifth Research Institute for the military exercise.


    Wu Mo''s tone was apologetic.


    Oh, Yingluo, it''s okay. I''ll get the people from the 3rd Military Region of North China to pick you up at your gathering ce. Is it okay to arrange it at around two in the afternoon? "


    Over the phone, academician Xu''s voice was gentle, and he didn''t me Wu mo for this. Who didn''t attend ss reunions when they were young?


    Moreover, Wu mo hadpleted the task of improvement alone. Such a fast speed did not dy the progress of the project at all.


    "Oh, okay, academician Xu, sorry to trouble you."


    Wu mo was a little surprised to hear that the military Region participating in the exercise would send someone to wee them. He quickly thanked them.


    hehe, Yingluo, it''s fine. You''re now an important researcher in a top-secret project, so you deserve this treatment. You can go and participate without worry.


    After getting academician Xu''s approval, Wu mo finally felt relieved.


    After the two talked about the project for a while, Wu mo hung up the phone.


    It would take at least ten hours to get to Shanglin city from the capital city by train, but it would only take four hours by high-speed rail. They could make it in time.


    Seeing that it was still early, the sense of urgency in his heart also faded a lot.<sub> </sub>


    Just as he was about to set off, he suddenly saw a corner of his mobile phone''s desktop with the words " National Research pass " written on it.


    When he saw this, Wu mo suddenly remembered that he had not logged in for a long time. He also knew what the situation was like for his team members.


    He clicked on it curiously and was surprised to find that the group chat of the siege team he was in had been disbanded.


    Thest message was sent three days ago.


    He flipped through the chat messages and found that after the review of the test, everyone was still chatting and exchanging their experiences.


    However, the group was disbanded by the information Department the next morning.


    ording to the remaining chat records, he found that Feng Qi and Lai Hua had already joined other teams toplete C-rank R & d missions.


    Chu Qingyan, who was quite capable, became professor Tan''s assistant, assisting the professor in researching new technology.


    As for Zhang Yuan, who did not even pass the most basic defense test, due to his improper attitude during the test, he was punished to work as a material delivery man in the materials Department for a month.


    Looking at the profile pictures that had turned gray and couldn''t be contacted, Wu mo sighed in his heart.


    He felt that Feng Qi and Lai Hua were both good seedlings and should not be researching those insignificant C-rank missions.


    Chu Qingyan, on the other hand, had performed well in the examination and was asked to stay by professor tan as an assistant. It was a good choice.


    As for Zhang Yuan, who had been punished to be a delivery man, Wu mo had no sympathy for him at all.


    Three or four days ago, everyone was working together on a project, but now they had gone their separate ways. This situation was verymon in the current world.


    Therefore, other than his own strength that he could rely on, other friends, positions, reputations, and so on were all empty.


    After sighing for a moment, Wu mo left the vi. After closing the gate, he walked straight out of the fifth Research Institute.


    It was seven o ''clock in the morning in the Research Institute, and everything was extremely quiet.


    There was no one in the garden path around him, and he was the only one hurrying past.


    A few minutester, Wu mo walked out of the Research Institute with his id.


    He called a taxi with his phone and sent him directly to the high-speed rail station.


    It was Wu Mo''s first time taking a high-speed train, so he wasn''t quite used to it.


    It was as if it was his first time sitting in a helicopter, and he felt a little ufortable.


    Fortunately, he was wearing ordinary clothes, so no one noticed.


    At 8:07 am, the high-speed train slowly moved.


    After a short period of eleration, it quickly reached an outrageous speed.


    Looking at the blurry scenery outside the window, a strange thought suddenly appeared in his mind.


    He didn''t know if a xiuzhe that was wearing speed-enhancing equipment could run as fast as a high-speed rail.


    These bold and imaginative thoughts were stopped by him as soon as they appeared.


    He was a little bored on the way, so he closed his eyes to rest.


    This was a public area, and he could not expose the books he borrowed in the internal reference Room to the public, or he would get into a lot of trouble.


    Melodious music yed from the stereo on the roof of the car. Wu mo leaned back in his chair and quietly rested.


    There were all kinds of noises in the car, but Wu mo didn''t pay attention to what was happening outside. His ability to sleep was stable.


    10:30 am.


    The high-speed train finally came to a slow stop.


    Wu mo got off the bullet-shaped train and walked quickly to the exit of the high-speed rail station.

 Chapter 156 The Students At The Gathering

    With the steel forest of modern facilities as the backdrop, everyone in the high-speed rail station seemed to be in a hurry.


    After verifying his ticket, Wu Mo walked out of the high-speed rail station.


    As he looked at the blue sky and the surrounding buildings, Wu Mo took a deep breath and muttered in his heart, ''This ce that has apanied me for three years feels very familiar.''


    He wiped his face and strode outside.


    There was a lot of traffic outside the station, and the car horns were noisy. He got into a cab and went directly to Golden Age Hotel.


    Golden Age Hotel was located in the central area of Shanglin City, less than 10 kilometers away from the Divine Arms Academy. It would take about 20 minutes to set off from the high-speed rail station.


    Along the way, he saw manyndmark buildings, as well as various major cksmith institutions that carried the dreams of young people.


    The central area of Shanglin City was extremely lively. Although it was only a small prefecture-level city, it had the same amount of educational resources as a base city.


    It did not take long for the car to enter amercial street.


    Golden Age Hotel was one of the few four-star hotels in Shanglin City. It was located in a prime location in the business district.


    Its restaurant was a typical representative of Chinese cuisine. The chefs inside had decades of Chinese cooking skills, and it was an excellent ce for guests to gather.


    Soon, the car stopped outside the gate of Golden Age Restaurant.


    Wu mo paid and got out of the car. He was immediately attracted by the front of the restaurant.


    It was a six-story building built in the Chinese style. The outer wall was made of alternating pink and white stone bricks, while therge arched door in the middle was gilded with rose gold, making it look luxurious. The green que on the arched door had the words "dragon and phoenix dance" written on it!


    <o>,m The parking lot around the hotel was already filled with all kinds of high-end brands.</o>


    Wu Mo took a look at the time and realized that it was almost 11 o''clock, so he quickened his pace.


    As he approached the gate, he saw a few young people standing outside the door, seemingly discussing something. Their faces looked familiar.


    They appeared to be students from the Divine Arms Academy.


    At the same time, countless students who had graduated from the Divine Arms Academy were raising their cups in wee in Golden Age Restaurant''s hall.


    The lights were as bright as day in the Chinese-style hall. In addition, the surrounding decorations were resplendent, and the crystalmp above was shining with dazzling light.


    There were many sets of high-end tables, as well as chairs on both sides of the hall, and there were countless delicacies such as desserts, cakes, red wine, and barbecued meat.


    Everyone gathered in groups of twos and threes while they talked with fervor and assurance.


    At that point, a majority of the students from the Divine Arms Academy were already there. Everyone was in full swing, chatting and smiling at each other from time to time. They raised the atmosphere in the entire hall to a fever pitch.


    "Sigh, it''s all thanks to the academy that we''re able to gather together a few months after graduation. No matter what, we should at least have a toast with Professor Zhou Yan, right? "


    Amid the people, a rough-looking young man in a dark blue suit raised his ss and spoke to the crowd.


    Those around him immediately cheered and raised their sses.


    "Brother Qian is right. It''s fate that we can meet again after graduation."


    "Come,e, let''s have a toast."


    Everyone''s gazes were focused on Professor Zhou Yan, who was wearing a slim-cut ck suit. She smiled and said, "As long as everyone is happy, that''s all that matters. To see you graduate and be pirs of society is also something that I should be proud of as a teacher.<sub> </sub>


    Upon hearing Professor Zhou Yan''s words, everyone immediately toasted. Theirughter and cheers almost shook the ceiling of the hall.


    "Alright, there are some things that Principal Qiu needs to deal with. I''ll take my leave first."


    Everyone nodded. "It''s alright, Professor. You can carry on with your work. Juste back before the party ends!" they said.


    After they watched their professor leave, everyone chatted more freely, almost to the point where there was nothing they did not want to talk about.


    "Brother Qian, I heard that Te hired you as the head of its Research and Development Department to specially train freshmen who enter the organization. How''s work been?" someone asked the young man in the dark blue suit curiously.


    Thetter was called "Brother Qian" because he was one of the outstanding people who had attracted a lot of attention during the graduation design assessment, Qian Rong.


    With a long sword made of rebar, Qian Rong had passed all the tests and achieved dazzling results.


    After that, he was recruited into thepany by the famous IoTpany Te with a monthly sry of £¤60,000. He became the head of the R&D Department as soon as he entered thepany, and he managed dozens of new trainees.


    As such, he was the center of attention at the ss reunion.


    Not only did Qian Rong have a great position, but he was also the typical rich child of a family. His future was limitless, and there would certainly be no harm if one could be on good terms with him.


    Seeing the puzzled looks from the crowd, Qian Rong chuckled and said, "Sigh, it''s nothing. I''m just the head of the Research and Development Department. My daily task is to manage disobedient trainees. My sry''s only £¤60,000. It''s not much."


    Hearing Qian Rong''s rather casual tone, everyone could not help but be surprised.


    As expected of a rich second-generation, he did not even care about a monthly sry of £¤60,000.


    "Hey, Brother Qian, what are you saying? You know that the employment situation this year is abysmal. Most people can''t find a suitable job. It''s amazing that you can get a monthly sry of £¤60,000!


    A young man at the side immediately gave him a thumbs-up.


    No one could say anything, but he was telling the truth about the current economic situation.


    The employment rate of many academies in Shanglin City did not even reach 60%.


    Many graduates with good grades could only get incredibly ordinary jobs.


    As for the students who had just passed, there was no need to mention them. In the past few months, nopany had been willing to give them an offer.


    Only the Divine Arms Academy, which possessed the best educational resources, had an employment rate of 86%, which was a rather ideal figure.


    Everyone relied on their background from the Divine Arms Academy, and most of them found rtively good jobs.


    For example, in previous years, Qian Rong would not have gotten such a good position so early on even if he could enter the top 100 IoTpanies.


    "Sigh, it''s just alright. It''s not as good as you say."


    Qian Rongughed and turned to look at Tang Mu, who was once ss 1''s monitor.


    "Look at Little Tang. Although his graduation results were a little bad, he''s now a consultant at a treasury," Qian Rong said with a smile.


    When Tang Mu heard this, he sensed an underlying meaning in his words.


    Compared with Qian Rong''s managerial position in arge factory, he was just an advisor. Not only was his sry not as high, but his position was also not as prestigious. Although it was not badpared to others, he felt like he was being mocked as he listened to Qian Rong.

 Chapter 157 Wu Mos Arrival

    Tang Mu turned around and looked at Qian Rong. His eyes were full of hostility.


    Thetter had used him as a negative example in front of everyone and did not care about his feelings at all. Qian Rong was a typical self-righteous person. He was obviously narcissistic but still pretended to be humble. It was disgusting!


    He had been the ss monitor of a ssroom in the Divine Arms Academy for three years and held an important position in the hearts of the other students. How could he willingly lose face in front of everyone?


    " Qian Rong, you''re really good at scheming. You use others to elevate yourself. Even if I''m just a consultant, I''m better than you. You''re just a viin who got a high score on the quality test thanks to your rebar. If you didn''t have the support of your family, you definitely wouldn''t achieve what you have today with your poor ability!" Tang Mu said coldly.


    Tang Mu''s words immediately silenced everyone present.


    At that moment, he seemed to hit Qian Rong''s weak spot, and Qian Rong''s face turned red with anger.


    Seeing that the two of them were about to fight at the ss reunion, the people around them immediately dissuaded them.


    "Brother Qian, forget it. Let''s not hurt each other''s feelings."


    "ss Monitor Tang, don''t say something you''ll regret. Qian Rong was just speaking casually.


    While everyone consoled them, the two of them snorted coldly and ignored each other.


    Tang Mu looked at the bright lights on the hall''s ceiling and sighed.


    If Wu Mo were there, Qian Rong, the runner-up, would not have had a chance to show off in front of everyone.


    When he looked at the clock on the wall, the hour hand was already pointing to 11 in the morning.


    "It''s not easy to hold a ss reunion. Is Wu Mo noting back this time?"


    As he wondered, Tang Mu raised his head and looked around, trying to see if there was any sign of Wu Mo.


    That guy was used to keeping a low profile. He would definitely not be like Qian Rong, who would becent with a little achievement and boast in front of others.


    However, he did not see Wu Mo in the hotel lobby.


    He could not help but feel a little disappointed.


    "Time really flies. It''s only been three months, and everyone has gone their separate ways. It''s a good thing that the Divine Arms Academy''s students are quite skilled at forging, so we haven''t dishonored our alma mater."


    Everyone started chatting again, and most of it was reminiscing about the past.


    In a group of 30 students, many of them had be screws in an organization, living a well-off but repetitive life.


    On the other hand, Qian Rong and Tang Mu, who were better off, would have a bright future because of their outstanding results.


    However, some of them chose to go back and inherit their families'' businesses, while a few decided to further their studies in other cities.


    In short, most of the people in ss 1 were living well, but they were talking about their choices and lives after graduation.


    This inevitably led to the subject of the most dazzling student in the graduation design assessment, Wu Mo.


    Wu Mo had earned first ce and even forged a Divine weapon. It was hard to forget his glory.


    As a matter of fact, the topic of conversation had already shifted to Wu Mo.


    "The banquet has already started. Why isn''t Wu Mo here? I still want to know how Wu Mo is doing. After all, he''s the strongest scorer in our Divine Arms Academy!" a young man in a ck suit asked curiously.


    His words immediately aroused the interest of the crowd, and the discussion about Wu Mo gradually increased.<sub> </sub>


    "I heard that Wu Mo was hired by the Research Department in the capital city. He''s working in a national institution now. We can''tpare to him."


    "Back then, he forged a Divine weapon. Even Principal Qiu and the mayor paid too much attention to him. Now, he''s definitely developing better than us," someone in the crowd said as if it was only natural.


    "That''s not necessarily true. Our graduation scores can only be considered a ticket to enter society. No one knows what will happen after that. During the Divine Arms Academy''s graduation seasonst year, there was a powerful cksmith who was directly sent to the military Research Department. However, in less than two months, that person was kicked out because he could not adapt."


    "Yeah, I wonder where Wu Mo is right now. He should be attending the ss reunion, right?"


    I really want to know what kind of achievements Wu Mo has so that I can motivate myself.


    Everyone sighed.


    At that moment, Jiang Mengyao, who was standing in the corner of the hall, heard the voices from the crowd and looked a little worried.


    She looked at the clean floor with her beautiful eyes, her mind in a mess.


    "Is Wu Mo noting this time?" A voice emerged in her heart.


    Jiang Mengyao''s mood was so low that she could not extricate herself from it.


    Just when everyone thought that Wu Mo would be absent, the ss door in Golden Age Restaurant''s archway suddenly opened. Then, a young man in a gray t-shirt walked in.


    The sharp-eyed students realized that it was Wu Mo, the person whom everyone had been talking about earlier!


    Wu Mo was wearing a gray t-shirt and dark blue casual clothes. He looked like he was going for a walk. Compared with the other students who were dressed to the nines, he was extremely eye-catching!


    When Wu Mo approached them, everyone noticed that he had two faint dark circles under his eyes. His expression was full of fatigue, and his face was covered in dust. He did not look like a distinguished cksmith at all.


    Seeing Wu Mo rush over, the people in the hall made way for him, allowing him to walk to the center.


    "Sir, do you need a ss of champagne?"


    A waiter in ck and white saw that Wu Mo seemed a little tired and immediately went up to inquire gently.


    "Thank you, but no."


    Wu Mo waved his hand and declined the waiter''s offer.


    He had stayed up all night and spent a lot of time on improving the Invisibility Armor.


    As a result, he had dark circles under his eyes.


    Moreover, alcohol would make one''s mind muddled. He was now on a top-secret project, and he had to ensure that he was always sober, so he would never drink.


    In addition, he had not eaten for almost the entire day, and his stomach was rumbling with hunger. He did not even have time to eat, so how could he drink?


    Right then, he directly walked past most of the familiar students and headed straight for the wine table not far away.


    As for the curious and surprised gazes that fell on him, hepletely ignored them.


    It was now 11.10 am, and many waiters came out of the kitchen with delicious food.


    Many students also took their seats. The first group of students was divided into tworge tables. After everyone sat down, they began to chat.


    Many of them had their eyes on Wu Mo. They wanted to know what had happened to him. How did such an eye-catching top student in the graduation design assessment end up in such a state?

 Chapter 158 Endless Discussion

    "Come,e,e, let''s have a toast to our bright future!"


    At the table, Qian Rong stood up, looked at the crowd, and raised his ss.


    The rest of the peopleughed and raised their sses, saying auspicious words one after another.


    However, Wu Mo turned a deaf ear. He picked up his bowl and scooped up some rice. Then, he buried his head and started eating the few dishes in front of him.


    The way he ate was like a prisoner who had just been released from prison.


    When everyone saw this, they all revealed puzzled expressions.


    Even if Wu Mo was not doing well, he was still a cksmith who had graduated. How did he end up in such a state?


    With doubts in their hearts, everyone could not help but specte.


    "What''s going on? Why is Wu Mo in such a state?"


    "How is this a cksmith? He''s clearly the reincarnation of a hungry ghost."


    "Is Wu Mo moving bricks as his job? Not only has he lost weight, but hisplexion is terrible too. He might even be working night shifts."


    "He might have gone to work in an electronics factory. Otherwise, why would he be so hungry?"


    Watching the scene, many of the students from ss 1 began to whisper to each other in discussion.


    They wanted to understand why Wu Mo had be like this in just a few months.


    A few months ago, Wu Mo had been the best student in the design assessment. He had been the most outstanding person. Not only had he gained the attention of the mayor and Principal Qiu, but he had also been recruited by the Research Department.


    Based on that, he should at least be in the same position as a corporal or sergeant, or at least an employee in a state-owned enterprise. His living conditions should not be worse than others.


    Why did Wu Mo fall so far from grace in just a few months?


    Some people were puzzled, while others were waiting to watch a good show. They wanted to know what Wu Mo had been through recently.


    However, Wu Mo did not care about what those people thought.


    He did not care about how others looked at him, whether they felt disdain or pity. There was only one thought in his mind: Achieve two technological breakthroughs in half a year''s time and then participate in the forging exchange conference held by the country.


    In the eyes of others, Wu Mo only lowered his head to eat and did not speak because he was ashamed and did not want others to see his inner weakness.


    After all, he had started at a very high point and had even joined the Research Department. But now, he was doing worse than everyone else. Such a gap was definitely not something that an ordinary person could mentally ept.


    Seeing this, Jiang Mengyao, who was sitting at the corner of the table, immediately stood up.


    She picked up two sses of champagne and walked straight to Wu Mo, who was busy eating. Meanwhile, everyone watched with puzzled gazes.


    "Oh."


    Wu Mo had not seen Jiang Mengyao for a long time. He looked at her with some embarrassment when he saw her sit next to him.


    Jiang Mengyao did not speak, but after she observed the way Wu Mo swallowed the food, she frowned and said in a concerned tone, "Wu Mo, it''s only been a few months. What''s wrong?"


    The other people at the same table also quieted down, wanting to hear what Wu Mo would say.


    "Um... I''m fine."


    Wu Mo wiped his mouth and immediately sat up straight.


    "You''re still saying that you''re fine? You look so pale now. Did you stay uptest night?"<sub> </sub>


    Jiang Mengyao knew that Wu Mo''s personality was rather dull. Under normal circumstances, he would not easily tell others about his problems, so she immediately probed.


    "No, no... I just started studying a littlete."


    The work he designed was a national secret project that would affect the fifth Research Department and the southeastern war zone, so he could not tell anyone.


    Although he trusted Jiang Mengyao very much, this was not a small matter. He could not make any mistakes, so he still could not tell her.


    Since he could not provide an exnation, he simply found an excuse.


    However, Jiang Mengyao was extremely smart. How could she be deceived by Wu Mo''s random reason?


    Nevertheless, she did not say it out loud because she was thinking about what Wu Mo had gone through. He did not want to tell her anything.


    At that moment, Qian Rong suddenly interrupted them. "Wu Mo, don''t lie to us now. No matter how hard you study, you can''t possibly not have time to eat."


    Qian Rong chuckled. The moment he said that, the people around him instantlyughed and jeered.


    "Yeah, we''ve already graduated, so there''s no need to study so hard anymore. We all know that you have something that''s hard to share, but you can tell us. Maybe we can help you, right?"


    "That''s right. Tell us the truth. Are you working in a factory or as a courier now?"


    Everyone was talking at the same time, and the atmosphere at the table was at an all-time high. To be able to see the once dazzling genius be like this, they were simply happier than being promoted and getting a raise.


    Seeing everyone looking at him, Wu Mo sighed in his heart. Everyone was only willing to believe that he had hit rock bottom, unable to even fill his stomach.


    Even if he exined, these people would not believe him. He was now a researcher with the position of a second lieutenant.


    Thinking of this, Wu Mo realized that instead of wasting his energy exining, he might as well go along with those people''s words and package himself as a miserable low-level person.


    "Since you all know, I won''t hide it from you. I''m indeed facing some difficulties now," he said in a low voice.


    When everyone heard this, they were surprised. As expected.


    He became even more excited.


    A look of mockery shed across Qian Rong''s face. He felt a sense of pride when he saw the champion, who had been so arrogant a few months ago, be like this.


    Even though the champion''s title had been snatched away, from the looks of it now, the other party''s life was so tough, but it was nothing more than this.


    He was the one who lived the most well and had the highest status in the entire group!


    "You should have said so earlier. I knew you had something on your mind. Look at the way you wolf down your food. You haven''t seen meat in a long time, have you?"


    Qian Rong felt that he was superior to others, and his attitude became arrogant.


    The few people around followed Qian Rong''s lead and immediately followed the topic, "Ah, you should have contacted Brother Qian before you came. At the very least, you should have changed into a proper suit. You''re simply throwing the face of our divine weapon Academy bying here dressed like this."


    "That''s right. Brother Qian is very generous. If you''re really in a difficult situation, our brother Qian can also give you a few thousand yuan to help you. After all, we''re all ssmates."


    They spoke sarcastically to Wu Mo only to curry favor with Qian Rong, hoping to build a rtionship with him.


    At this moment, the smile on Qian Rong''s face gradually became unscrupulous, and he enjoyed the ttery of his underlings.


    "No, the food in our canteen is not bad. As for the clothes, I was in a hurry when I came and didn''t notice them," Wu Mo said a little awkwardly.


    While exining, he did not forget to pick up some food with his chopsticks and eat seriously.

 Chapter 159 Ear-Piercing Rumors

    "Tsk tsk tsk tsk, Wu Mo, you''re the best student in the Divine Arms Academy. How did you end up like this? Did you get fired by the Research Department?" Qian Rong asked curiously.


    "No... I''ve just been busy recently," Wu Mo exined and stopped talking.


    When the surrounding people saw how embarrassed Wu Mo looked, they felt that Qian Rong''s guess was close to the truth.


    However, Tang Mu, who was sitting not far from Wu Mo, sensed that things were not that simple.


    Even if Wu Mo had been fired by the Research Department, he could at least be a manager or supervisor in a private enterprise with his forging skills. It was impossible for him to not have enough food.


    Unfortunately, the others did not think so. They all thought that Wu Mo was a goner and that he had be an ordinary person.


    "Wu Mo, you can''t go on like this. Why don''t you quit your current job? I''ll ask ourpany if we can recruit you. With how capable you are, you''ll definitely get better in the future."


    ? Jiang Mengyao was anxious. She noticed that Wu Mo waspletely absent-minded as if he was troubled by some difficult problem. She did not want to let Wu Mo dy things, so she immediately thought of a solution.


    However, Wu Mo shook his head. Thank you for your concern, but I don''t think that''s necessary. My current job is quite good.


    "Although it''s tiring, I''ve learned a lot."


    Hearing Wu Mo''s serious rejection, Jiang Mengyao became a little perturbed. Wu Mo could not go on like this.


    Hisplexion was already horrible. If this continued for a long time, it would definitely cause harm to his body. While she did not know what Wu Mo''s job was now, it was definitely something incredibly tiring.


    "Wu Mo, I know you care about your reputation, but how can you still care about these things at a time like this? If you keep going down this path, your body will be crippled!"


    Jiang Mengyao tried to persuade him, but Wu Mo seemed unmoved, and he refused to receive her help.


    The two of them fell silent.


    However, their conversation was overheard by Cheng Tao, who was sitting not far away in his well-cut morning suit.


    Thetter was a young man who had obtained good results with a fine dagger in the design assessment.


    Cheng Tao''s skills were considered not bad, but the students who scored first and second ce in the design assessment were at the same table. Even the ss monitor, Tang Mu, had better results than him.


    As such, he seemed ordinary at the ss reunion and did not get any attention at all.


    In addition, during the graduation design assessment, Wu Mo had defeated him in several review rounds.


    That also gave Cheng Tao a poor impression of Wu Mo.


    Now that he had finally found a chance to trample on Wu Mo, how could he possibly stop?


    He quickly told the student beside him the information he had heard. Thetter was a typical person who could not hide anything and could spread any news to the entire campus in a short time.


    So, stories about Wu Mo, which Cheng Tao had exaggerated, began to spread.


    It was to the extent that most of the people in ss 1 knew about it.


    "Huh? Did Wu Mo really get fired by the Research Department?"


    "It''s true. I heard that he couldn''t make it anymore. He was fired less than a month after he went to the Research Department."<sub> </sub>


    "That''s too embarrassing for the Divine Arms Academy. No matter what, he was number one in the graduation assessment. How could he copse like that?"


    "He''s living a miserable life now. He doesn''t have enough to eat every day. He hasn''t even been able to find a job for the past two months. He can only find a delivery job like a regr person."


    "Oh, I see. No wonder he came to the ss reunion in such tattered clothes."


    Rumors about Wu Mo were rampant even in the entire Golden Age Hotel lobby, and all kinds of sarcastic voices were constantly heard.


    "I thought he was one of the rare talents in the Research Department. I didn''t expect him to be such trash."


    "I can only say that the mayor and Principal Qiu made the wrong call. They actually gave the honorary student certificate to a delivery man!"


    All sorts of rumors and exaggerated versions of the story spread throughout the ce.


    Almost everyone in the group knew what was going on, and most of them looked at Wu Mo with contempt and mockery.


    However, if these words were spoken to anyone else, there would have been some protest.


    If it were anyone else, they would definitely exin the situation clearly the moment they could. If it was someone with a bad temper, they would even beat up the person who spread the rumors.


    However, Wu Mo did not notice it at all. He just kept eating with his head down, frowning from time to time. In his mind, he was constantly thinking about the problems that he might encounter when he mass-produced the Invisibility Armor and how he was going to solve them.


    There were also some ideas about standardized weapons, which he hid deep within his mind. asionally, he would dig them out and digest them repeatedly, looking for new perspectives and research techniques.


    Compared with his other luxuriously dressed ssmates who were talking about their achievements with confidence, Wu Mo seemed so out of ce.


    He was dressed in in sportswear. He was a stark contrast to the others who were in formal dresses and custom-made suits.


    Comparing the two, Wu Mo was like a passing stage crew member, while the students at the table were undoubtedly famous characters from movies who came from good families and were loved by the public.


    Wu Mo did not speak much during the entire ss reunion. Most of hisments were only about what happened before with Jiang Mengyao, who was next to him.


    He selectively filtered out all the mocking gazes and contemptuous words.


    Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, the ss reunion began to wind down.


    Everyone''s face was brimming with joy. There was the excitement of building a rtionship with ssmates, the joy ofpeting and winning, but most of all, the pride of standing at the peak.


    As the gathering neared its end, the Divine Arms Academy''s teachers went up on stage one by one to give their speeches. The content of their speeches was a summary of the academy''s past three years, as well as their expectations for the future.


    In the hall, everyone raised their sses and drank. Wu Mo looked up at Professor Zhou Yan, who was standing on the stage, and a smile formed on the corner of his mouth.


    It was one o''clock in the afternoon, and the gathering was about to end.


    Everyone stood up and waved goodbye to each other, ready to walk out through the hotel''s entrance.


    Wu Mo and Jiang Mengyao arrived at the door while they chatted. When Qian Rong saw them walk out, he immediately stepped forward and said with a smile, "Wu Mo, do you have any ns for the time being? Do you want to consider developing in West Moon City? The delivery jobs there pay 50 cents more than in Shanglin City, and you can get an extra £¤1000 to £¤2000 a month. West Moon City is obviously more suitable for your development."


    Qian Rong''s words were obviously sarcastic. He did not really want to help Wu Mo.

 Chapter 160 A Competition Between Students

    However, Jiang Mengyao, who was by Wu Mo''s side, was not willing to let him suffer such grievances. She was just about to go over and reason with Qian Rong, but before she could take two steps, Wu Mo pulled her back.


    "Forget it. There''s no need to care about what others say. We just need to be ourselves," Wu Mo said with a smile.


    Deep down, he just did not want to pay any attention to that fellow called Qian Rong.


    "Wow, Wu Mo, you''re really patient. If anyone else dared to say that about me, I definitely wouldn''t let them off easily. You''re the one who''s going to be called a coward," Cheng Tao sarcastically said not far away.


    His face was full of pride, and the corners of his mouth even showed a hint of ridicule.


    He wanted to see how Wu Mo would deal with the situation.


    "Don''t push it, Cheng Tao!"


    Jiang Mengyao could not take it anymore. She immediately stood up and shouted, "When you participated in the graduation assessment, you were just lucky to pick up a high-quality material. That''s why you ranked in the top 10. If it weren''t for that stone, your broken dagger wouldn''t even be qualified to pass the assessment!"


    Her tone was filled with anger as she mercilessly tore open Cheng Tao''s wound. It was as if she wanted topletely sever her rtionship with him in front of everyone.


    One should know that the matter had always been taboo to Cheng Tao, who had relied on his luck to rank in the top 10 during the graduation assessment.


    Despite that, Jiang Mengyao still brought it up in front of all the students. Her behaviorpletely shocked the surrounding people.


    Everyone looked at Jiang Mengyao in surprise, not knowing why she would do that.


    After all, Cheng Tao was an outstanding student who had received a medal in the academy. Now that he had found a good job, his future was limitless.


    Inparison, Wu Mo appeared to be in a much more miserable state. It was clearly an irrational move to offend Cheng Tao for a person like him.


    Cheng Tao was standing in the crowd outside the hotel''s entrance. His face was red, and his body was shaking with anger. Jiang Mengyao was looking down on his character by denying his results in public!


    The anger in his heart made him almost lose his mind.


    At that moment, he only felt rage when he looked at the expressionless Wu Mo standing behind Jiang Mengyao.


    "Wu Mo, you''re still as weak as ever. You can only rely on a woman to support you. What a joke."


    Cheng Tao taunted him, but Wu Mo remained unmoved.


    "Mengyao, don''t lower yourself to his level. It''s a waste of time," Wu Mo said in a low voice, then stood to the side in silence.


    The crowd saw Wu Mo lowering his head as if he hadpletely surrendered to Cheng Tao''s tyrannical abuse of power.


    They all shook their heads, feeling that Wu Mo was beyond redemption and had even lost face as a cksmith.


    Qian Rong, who was watching the show from the side, had a mocking smile on his face.


    He thought to himself, ''I didn''t expect Wu Mo, the best graduate, to fall to this extent in just a few months. Others are pointing at him and insulting him, but he''s still turning a blind eye to everything. He''s so vexing.''


    He felt bored and subconsciously took out his keys from his pocket, ready to drive away.


    Outside Golden Age Hotel''s entrance, the sky above everyone''s head was gradually darkening. The cold wind was blowing the fallen leaves on the ground and sweeping them into the bushes on the side.<sub> </sub>


    Light rain patted the roof before falling to the ground.


    Seeing this, the girls standing at the door frowned slightly, as if they were wondering about how to leave.


    They had traveled to the ss reunion by car, but their home was not close. If they took a taxi, they would definitely be drenched in the rain during the process of getting on and getting off.


    "Lin Shan, why don''t I send you back? My Mercedes-Benzes with a pass that allows me to enter and exit all kinds ofmunity housing. I guarantee that I can send you to your doorstep," a young man standing beside the girl immediately offered.


    "Tsk, what''s so great about sitting in a small Mercedes-Benz? I have a Ferrari. You cane with me."


    Another person was not amused, and he immediately spoke in a proud tone.


    Theirpetition immediately led the surrounding people to imitate them.


    In order to prove that they were better than others, they all took out their car keys and inadvertently showed off.


    "Oh my, I''m so envious of you guys. You can drive by yourselves. I''m so miserable. I can only wait for my secretary to pick me up in his Maserati."


    Qian Rong "identally" revealed his Rolex watch and spoke in a slightly sad tone.


    His casual show-off instantly aroused the dissatisfaction of the surrounding people.


    "That''s right. I really envy those young people. Unlike me, I still have to wait for my butler to pick me up in a Lamborghini."


    Cheng Tao, who was not willing to fall behind, immediately jumped out and added.


    "As expected of the two big shots. I''m much worse than you. I don''t have an assistant or a butler. I only have a gentle girlfriend. Well, I won''t talk about it anymore. My girlfriend will be picking me up in a Rolls-Royce soon."


    Theparison between the few of them immediately attracted the envy of the surrounding students.


    Several people around Qian Rong immediately gave him a thumbs-up and praised him. "F*ck! Brother Qian, you''re too extravagant. Even your secretary''s driving a Maserati. You''re really a role model for our generation."


    "That''s right, that''s right. Don''t you know who our Brother Qian is? Half of the luxury goods business in the entire Shanglin City is run by the Qian family. Our monthly sry can''t evenpare to their pocket money."


    Qian Rong enjoyed the praises of the people around him, and the ttering words made him feel smug.


    He raised his chin and nced at Wu Mo, who was standing at the corner by the door. He found that Wu Mo still had his head lowered and was not even looking in his direction.


    ''Hmph, you''re already in such a state, yet you still think so highly of yourself. Since you don''t respect me, don''t me me for making a fool out of you.''


    The moment Qian Rong thought about it, he raised his voice and asked, "Oh, Wu Mo, don''t tell me you''re going to ride your e-bike home? If that''s the case, won''t Jiang Mengyao end up drenched like you? "


    His words immediately made everyone turn their eyes to Wu Mo. Looking at thetter''s submissive appearance, everyone was in the mood to tease him.


    "Huh, I don''t think so. It''s the 21st century. Would someone still use an electric bike as a means of transportation? Isn''t that thing only used by ordinary people? We cksmiths are important talents of the country. No matter what, we should at least buy a Volkswagen Jetta to drive."


    "Are you stupid? Wu Mo''s already a delivery man, so how can he be considered a cksmith? We have to draw a clear line between us and some people. Otherwise, people will think that all cksmiths are like him. If that happens, our industry will be in trouble."

 Chapter 161 - A Delivery Order?

    <h4>Chapter 161: A Delivery Order?</h4> <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong> Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion</h4>


    Jiang Mengyao was about to explode in the face of the crowd¡¯s eerie mockery and teasing words. She felt that those well-dressed people were not worthy of being their ssmates at all. They were b*stards who werepletely sucking up to the rich and powerful!


    She reached out and grabbed Wu Mo¡¯s wrist. Just as she was about to leave with him, a cell phone rang in Wu Mo¡¯s pocket.


    The two of them looked at each other. Jiang Mengyao blushed and immediately let go of Wu Mo¡¯s hand.


    The people who had mocked him earlier also looked at Wu Mo in confusion.


    They wanted to know who would contact Wu Mo at this time.


    Before everyone¡¯s gaze, Wu Mo picked up the phone and immediately pressed the answer button.


    ¡°Hello, Wu Mo, I know your address. I¡¯ll get the contact person from the Third MR to pick you up now.


    ¡°The drill will begin the day after tomorrow. You should go and make preparations.¡±


    A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone. It was Academician Xu.


    Wu Mo¡¯s expression turned serious as he said, ¡°Yes, Sir!¡±


    Soon, the call ended. Cheng Tao, who was standing at the side, was already dissatisfied with Wu Mo. He immediately said in a sarcastic tone, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? A call for delivery? You¡¯ll have to tell your station chief to increase yourmission by £¤1 on rainy days.¡±


    Cheng Tao¡¯s sarcastic words immediately set off everyone¡¯sughter.


    The few people around him immediately held their stomachs andughed.


    ¡°Good Lord, he¡¯s still taking orders on a rainy day. I will not be using this tform!¡±


    ¡°What the f*ck? There¡¯s even an additional £¤1mission? it seems like Brother Tao knows a lot.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m dying ofughter. It wasn¡¯t easy for you to be a cksmith, yet you¡¯re doing delivery work. I¡¯d like to call you the great renegade.¡±


    ¡°Stop talking, I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll reallyugh out loud.¡±


    A couple of them just watched the drama that unfolded andpletely ignored Jiang Mengyao¡¯s unpleasant expression.


    They only thought that they could raise their status by trampling on the dignity of others. They did not realize that their happiness was built on the pain of others.


    Jiang Mengyao was furious, and she clenched her fists.


    Wu Mo, who was standing beside her, immediately tried to put her at ease. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Everyone¡¯s joys and sorrows are not connected. If you exin it to them, they will think that you are guilty.


    ¡°But¡­¡±


    Jiang Mengyao¡¯s big, watery eyes were glistening with tears.


    She felt extremely sad. Wu Mo¡¯s life was already so difficult, but the students who had studied with him for three years not only offered him no help, but they even hit him when he was down and mocked him.


    Even though Wu Mo did not take it seriously, those people would not let it go.


    ¡°Just treat their words as farts. No one has ever had the right to point fingers at us.¡±


    Wu Mo wore a warm smile. Then, he took Jiang Mengyao¡¯s hand gently and spoke with a serious expression. ¡°But I still have to say, thank you. I¡¯ve always remembered your care and concern for me.


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll talk to youter. My liaison ising to pick me up. I¡¯ll see you next time!¡±


    He looked into Jiang Mengyao¡¯s eyes, but thetter had seemingly not recovered from all those negative emotions. Her eyes were still slightly red, and her pitiful appearance made others want to take her into their arms andfort her.


    However, another wave of emotions came before the previous one ended. Although the conversation between the two of them was very low, a few people at the side still heard it clearly.


    Everyoneughed even more uncontrobly, especially when they heard Wu Mo say that a liaison woulde to pick him up in a while.


    ¡°Good Lord, you don¡¯t even need drafts when you¡¯re bragging. You want a liaison to pick you up? Who are you? A military officer?¡±


    ¡°Can you understand your own situation before you brag? You¡¯re just a dumb delivery man, but you still need someone to pick you up? Why don¡¯t you ask a tank to pick you up?¡±


    Qian Rongughed out loud as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.


    Heughed at Wu Mo for not understanding the situation and the difference in status between him and the others. Wu Mo still wanted to get back at them, but he was just being stubborn.


    At that moment, Qian Rong was not alone. Their surrounding former ssmates were alsoughing at Wu Mo. He could not find a good reason to act tough in front of others. He was a real joke.


    However, while the crowd was mocking Wu Mo without restraint, a camouged military vehicle suddenly entered everyone¡¯s line of sight. It appeared on the street outside Golden Age Restaurant¡¯s entrance.


    The military vehicle was more than two meters tall and more than six meters long. There was a mechanical arm on each side of the carriage, and a ck gun barrel was mounted on the front of the vehicle.


    Honeb carbon fiber tires allowed the military vehicle to move at a constant speed under all kinds of harsh conditions. Plus, most parts of the vehicle were wrapped in polymer steel tes, reflecting cold light.


    Through the bulletproof ss, everyone could see the uniformed soldiers inside. Due to the vehicle¡¯s huge body and its cannons¡¯ dark muzzles, it gave off an invisible pressure.


    The moment the military vehicle reached the end of the street, the people standing outside the hotel¡¯s entrance immediately shut their mouths.


    Everyone¡¯s face was filled with shock and astonishment.


    Could it be that this majestic military vehicle was really there for Wu Mo?


    The thought shed through Qian Rong¡¯s mind, but he instantly killed it.


    No, that was impossible.


    Military vehicles of this type were only avable in the military and national institutions.


    Ordinary people, even six-star cksmiths, might not be able to enjoy such a high treatment.


    He, Wu Mo, was just a lousy delivery man who could not even eat his fill and had dark circles under his eyes. Qian Rong would not believe that the military vehicle was there to pick Wu Mo up even if he was beaten to death.


    All of this was just a coincidence. Wu Mo was just a piece of trash that had been kicked out of the Research Department. It was impossible for him to receive such treatment.


    He consoled himself in his heart, but the thought had just taken shape in his mind.


    He saw a huge military vehicle with a murderous aura driving straight to the hotel.


    The security guard at the gate did not dare move slowly, and he lifted the railing straight away.


    Soon, the military camouge vehicle stopped directly at the gate in front of the crowd.


    Everyone was almost scared silly when they saw this.


    They looked at Wu Mo with horror in their eyes.


    Jiang Mengyao was still a little sad as she stood next to Wu Mo, but her mind went nk when she saw the huge creature in front of her.


    Soon, the door of the camouged military vehicle was opened.


    Two fully-armed cultivators jumped out of the front seats first.


    There were four shining stars on the chests of the two cultivators¡¯ uniforms.


    Their gazes were cold, and they walked with the wind, causing a few students who were close to them to subconsciously take a few steps back.


    ¡°Two four-star cultivators¡­ What kind of important person is sitting in the car?¡±


    When everyone saw that a four-star cultivator had been reduced to driving, they all started to guess who the important passenger was.


    Just as everyone was guessing, one of the four-star cultivators approached the back of the military vehicle. The other person then opened the door with a respectful expression.


    A man in a dark green military uniform walked out.

 Chapter 162 - The Identification Document Shows His Identity, Scaring Everyone

    <h4>Chapter 162: The Identification Document Shows His Identity, Scaring Everyone</h4> <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong> Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion</h4>


    The man was about 30 years old, and he had a sharp, resolute face. He stood straight and swept his deep eyes across the people who were standing in front of the hotel to take shelter from the rain.


    When he saw Wu Mo, he immediately stepped forward and gave thetter a standard military salute with respect.


    Pa!


    ¡°Hello, Second Lieutenant Wu, I¡¯m Sun Siqin, your liaison officer. I¡¯m here to take you to the Third MR to participate in the exercise. Please forgive me for my negligence!¡±


    The man in the military uniform had a powerful voice that reminded one of muffled thunder, and his eyes were reminiscent of torches as he looked at Wu Mo with respect.


    The man¡¯s words and his respectful attitude toward Wu Mopletely shocked the crowd, who previously thought that the military vehicle¡¯s appearance was a mere coincidence.


    At that moment, Qian Rong and Cheng Tao were even more shocked.


    They could not believe that the man in the military uniform was being so respectful toward Wu Mo.


    He even called Wu Mo a second lieutenant. It struck the two of them like lightning.


    They had been proud of themselves for being able to be managers of arge organization, but they never expected Wu Mo to reach such a high position in the military!


    Qian Rong¡¯s face immediately burned when he thought of the sarcastic words he had said to Wu Mo.


    He was not even a cat or a dog in front of the others. He had been acting like a clown.


    Wu Mo did not even see him as a worthy opponent. He never took him seriously.


    At that thought, Qian Rong¡¯s pupils trembled.


    ¡®Impossible, absolutely impossible. He¡¯s only been in the Research Department for three months. How can he be a second lieutenant so soon?¡±


    As he wondered, an idea shed through his mind. As though he had found a life-saving straw, he immediately pointed at Wu Mo¡¯s head and sneered. ¡°Do you realize how stupid you are? Don¡¯t think that you can fool us with just two actors. If someone like you can be a second lieutenant, I¡¯ll be a general!¡± Qian Rong said shamelessly.


    He did not notice that the man in military uniform had a cold expression.


    When Cheng Tao heard that, he immediately pped his thigh andughed, ¡°F*ck, I was almost convinced by Wu Mo. So that¡¯s what it is. Brother Qian, you¡¯re really something. You saw through them so quickly.¡±


    The two of them started to criticize the military vehicle and the two four-star cultivators.


    ¡°Wu Mo, you¡¯re a clever little brat. Are you doing this to try and p us in our faces? It¡¯s a pity that I¡¯ve already seen through your scheme. Come on, hurry up and tell me how much it costs to hire these people to act as regr soldiers.¡±


    ¡°Actually, they¡¯re quite professional. Their temperament is incredibly simr.¡±


    As if they had discovered a new continent, the two of them walked around the group, sometimesmenting and sometimesughing.


    The surrounding students, who originally looked shocked, now appeared angry. They thought that Wu Mo was simply toying with them.


    ¡°Wu Mo, why aren¡¯t you saying anything? Are you too ashamed to face everyone now that your scheme¡¯s been exposed?¡± Cheng Tao said with augh.


    It was a vivid and incisive act of viiny.


    ¡°Ugh.¡±


    Wu Mo shook his head. He felt that the two people before him werepletely beyond redemption.


    Even when faced with the truth, they still chose to deceive themselves, immersing in the illusion they had constructed, unable to extricate themselves.


    Their future achievements definitely did not seem promising. They might evenpletely sink because of some setbacks.


    Seeing that Wu Mo was silent, Jiang Mengyao¡¯s heart clenched again.


    She was worried that Wu Mo would be depressed thanks to the both of them. She wanted tofort him but did not know how.


    However, Jiang Mengyao firmly believed that Wu Mo was not someone who would pretend to be strong for the sake of his face. The military vehicle and the men in military uniform who appeared before them might have mistaken Wu Mo for the person they were supposed to pick up.


    In the crowd, Tang Mu, who had been silent the whole time, looked at Wu Mo with aplicated expression.


    He had fought Wu Mo many times in the design assessment and gained a deep understanding of thetter¡¯s abilities. He did not believe that Wu Mo would be so depressing. Things were definitely not as simple as they seemed.


    ¡°Impudent! Since when does an outsider have the right to point fingers at us, the soldiers of the North China Military Region?! You are not worthy!¡±


    One of the four-star cultivators opened his eyes wide and spoke immediately.


    His voice was like muffled thunder on a sunny day, giving Qian Rong and Cheng Tao a shock.


    The liaison officer, Sun Siqin, had a gloomy expression. He stared at the two people who had been rude toward them and sternly said, ¡°Second Lieutenant Wu is a guest of North China¡¯s Third Military Region, how can we allow you people to be disrespectful?! If you dare utter such nonsense again, you will be arrested for public disruption!¡±


    Sun Siqin then took out his liaison¡¯s ID in front of everyone.


    Qian Rong and Cheng Tao were initially annoyed, but after seeing the Nine Provinces seal on the document, they suddenly felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave. They stared at Wu Mo in disbelief.


    They would never have thought that Wu Mo was a genuine second lieutenant and an honored guest in the military.


    It was beyond their understanding, and they were instantly rooted to the spot.


    Many of the students who were standing at the back to avoid the rain were also shocked.


    Those who, in particr, had shamelessly bragged to Wu Mo to please Qian Rong and Cheng Tao at the dinner table subconsciously took two steps back when they met the liaison¡¯s cold eyes.


    They were afraid of angering him.


    ¡°No matter who you are, if you dare disrespect Second Lieutenant Wu, don¡¯t me us for overstepping our ranks. It¡¯ll be toote for regrets once you leave behind a criminal record!¡±


    Sun Siqin¡¯s warning sounded like an rm, causing everyone¡¯s expression to change. They were too petrified to say another word.


    Qian Rong and Cheng Tao, who had been jumping around happily earlier, were now frozen like obedient little chicks.


    They just could not understand how Wu Mo could be promoted to the position of second lieutenant so quickly.


    It was so quiet outside the hotel¡¯s entrance that one could even hear a pin drop.


    Tang Mu looked at Wu mo in shock. Although he had a feeling that Wu Mo did not seem as ordinary as he looked, he was still taken aback by Wu Mo¡¯s power.


    Even in a national organization, it would take at least 10 years of hard work to reach the rank of second lieutenant.


    Unless, an individualpleted a breakthrough in technological research and development, then he or she would be an exception and be promoted in a short time.


    It was obvious that Wu Mo was thetter.


    After graduating from the Divine Arms Academy, Wu Mo did not rx. Instead, he worked hard. After entering the Research Department, he continued to disy extremely high standards.


    On top of making a contribution and bing a second lieutenant, he was also being invited by the military. It was apparent enough that Wu Mo¡¯s ability in the field of forging had far surpassed that of everyone present.

 Chapter 163 A Warm Welcome From The Military Leaders

    Tang Mu could not help but sigh. Half a year ago, Wu Mo and everyone else had been in the same situation. After half a year, there was still such a big gap between them.


    Whether it was in terms of character or forging skills, the difference between them was like heaven and earth.


    "It''s you, Wu Mo."


    Tang Muughed at himself and shook his head,pletely admitting defeat to Wu Mo.


    On the other side, Jiang Mengyao''s beautiful eyes alsopletely widened.


    Jiang Mengyao was stunned as she faced the situation.


    In just a few months, Wu Mo had be a highly valued talent in the official organization. Such a change in strength surprised Jiang Mengyao, who imed to know Wu Mo very well.


    "I''m sorry. Since it involves a confidentiality agreement, I can only lie. Sorry... I lied to you."


    While Jiang Mengyao was in deep shock, Wu Mo''s slightly deep voice suddenly rang in her ears.


    She instantly recovered and subconsciously said, " "It''s fine."


    That seemed to feel wrong, so she quickly added, " I know you''re a staff member of the Research Department and you''re involved in a lot of confidential work, so I don''t me you."


    "Alright," he said.


    Wu Mo let go of Jiang Mengyao''s hand and slowly walked toward Sun Siqin.


    "Liaison Sun, thank you foring all the way here to pick me up. Let''s go," Wu Mo said with a smile. His voice was gentle and clear.


    "You''re a guest in our military region. It''s no trouble. Please step into the vehicle," Sun Siqin said with a smile.


    Wu Mo turned around and waved goodbye to Jiang Mengyao.


    There was a trace of reluctance in thetter''s beautiful eyes, but she waved her hand too.


    Soon, Wu Mo disappeared from the street after he entered the military vehicle.


    Everyone exchanged looks as they felt that the people and things that had appeared in front of them were like a dream, disappearing extremely quickly.


    "Well, I still have something to do, so I''ll take my leave first."


    A short-haired boy could not stand the oppressive atmosphere. He muttered to himself and ran to his bicycle which was parked by the roadside, as though he was escaping.


    The people around him followed suit. Some of them got on their e-bikes, some drove second-hand Skoda cars, and they quickly left.


    The ss reunion ended abruptly after Wu Mo left.


    Those who had previously mocked and ridiculed Wu Mo felt their hearts beat fast and their faces turn red. They were too embarrassed to appear before the rest of the crowd.


    Soon, everyone dispersed. Professor Zhou Yan, who was dressed in a formal suit, pushed the door open and walked out. She looked at the empty front door with a puzzled gaze.


    "Hey, I saw a lot of people at the entrance earlier. Howe they''re all gone now?"


    The interlude hade to an end.


    On the other side, Wu Mo was sitting in the back of the military vehicle and chatting with the liaison officer, Sun Siqin, about the exercise the day after tomorrow.


    The purpose of the military exercise was not only to test thebat level of two teams but also to update their tactics and enrich theirbat experience.


    The North China Military Region would conductbat exercises whenever the situation was calm. While it was already a tradition, it was only conducted a few times a year.


    After all, the actualbat exercise was also a test of the soldiers'' physical fitness. They needed time to recoverter. In addition, during the confrontation, they would inevitably use heavy vehicles and cannons that were specifically used for practice, so they had less power.


    It was not a small consumption of resources.


    The military would invite many people to watch each exercise, but the seats were limited, and most of the people invited were important.<sub> </sub>


    Wu Mo was the youngest of all the invited guests for this exercise.


    Hence, the liaison officer was so respectful toward Wu Mo.


    Ultimately, a researcher in his early twenties must have something special to be invited by the military.


    Of course, it was not just the liaison officer who had this thought. The two four-star cultivators sitting in the front row also felt the same.


    They saw that Wu mo was dressed inly and had two big dark circles under his eyes. They were very impressed by Wu Mo''s research spirit.


    They talked and chatted, and it did not take long for the car to leave Shanglin City and head toward the Third Military Region.


    Looking at the gradually disappearing border of the city, Wu Mo felt a little regretful.


    Although he would only be separated from his parents for three months, it would have been great if he could spend some time with them before he left.


    After all, his parents had already moved from their old home to Shanglin City, and they were not used to everything there.


    <o>,m As for his sister, Wu Yan, who had begun to study in Shanglin City, he was not sure if she was used to the rhythm and education methods there.</o>


    Wu Mo sighed in his heart and could onlyfort himself, thinking that after he left the military, he should be able to go back and see his parents.


    Wu Mo looked at the military vehicle that was speeding. The interior was not only soft andfortable, but it also gave people a sense of security.


    Furthermore, its interior space was muchrger than that of ordinary cars. He could tell from the sound of the engine that its speed could probably surpass many cars.


    About an hourter, Wu Mo saw a high wall that ran across the in from the window. On the other side of the wall should be the military region''s vastnd.


    Wu Mo was shocked when he saw such a majestic buildingplex. At the same time, he had a new understanding of the Nine Provinces'' infrastructure.


    Soon, the military vehicle slowly stopped in front of a gate that guarded the forest.


    Through the ss, he saw many heavily armed soldiers standing outside the door. All of them had four or more golden stars tattooed on their chests.


    "Second Lieutenant Wu, we''ve arrived," the liaison officer said with a smile.


    The two four-star cultivators who were sitting in the front seats immediately got out of the vehicle and opened the back door.


    "Thank you," Wu Mo said with a smile and immediately walked toward the gate.


    At this moment, in addition to the heavily-armed soldiers, there were two men in military uniforms standing outside the gate.


    The man in the lead was about 40 years old. He had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. Although he had a smile on his face and wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, that did not diminish his fierce spirit.


    The bar on his shoulder had three stars, indicating his rank as a captain.


    The person behind the middle-aged man was younger.


    However, he was in his 30s, and his epaulet had one bar and two stars, indicating that he was probably a first lieutenant.


    The two people standing at the door immediately went up to Wu Mo enthusiastically when they saw him get out of the car.


    "Second Lieutenant Wu, you have had a long journey. Wee to the North China Third Military Region to participate in the mock battle!


    The captain immediately stretched out his calloused hand and greeted Wu Mo with a smile.


    "Thank you. I''m honored to be able to observe this military exercise."


    Wu mo smiled in return and shook hands with the other party. Then, the liaison officer rushed over and immediately began to introduce Wu Mo.


    "Second Lieutenant Wu, this is Zhang Jianfeng, thepanymander. The one standing on the left is the deputypanymander, Ren Bin. They are all here to wee you."


    After hearing the liaison''s introduction, Wu Mo suddenly realized that the people greeting him were all important leaders in the military region.

 Chapter 164 Visiting The Mock War Zone

    He immediately smiled and said, "Thank you for your love, leaders. It seems that I will not only learn a lot from this observation trip, but I will also be able to meet many interesting friends."


    "Haha, no problem. I''ll bring you in now to have a look at the Third MR."


    The forthright Company Commander Zhang waved his hand, and the guards in front of the gate immediately separated. The heavy gate was opened, and the two leaders, Wu Mo, and Sun quickly followed them inside.


    The military region was a ce for the soldiers of the Nine Provinces to recuperate, fight, and learn. At the same time, it also bore the burden of supporting the war zone at any time.


    There were generals who made ns and stratagems, as well as brave soldiers who killed the enemy. Although it was only the Third Military Region in North China, it housed an endless stream of living forces. They silently shouldered the responsibility of working with the major battle zones.


    There were major areas such as the headquarters, the Political Department, the Logistics Department, the training field, and so on. It was able to amodate nearly 100,000 soldiers.


    There were high walls at the edge of the military area, and its interior was like an independent society. Since there were aircraft, artillery, and other equipment inside, it was highly confidential. There was a guard every five steps and a sentry every ten steps. It was almost impossible to enter unless one was rted personnel.


    However, with Company Commander Zhang and Deputy Company Commander Ren Bin leading the way, Wu Mo''s journey was almost unimpeded. He had also received the title of Scientific Research Paragon. He was also respected by many when the staff checked his ID.


    After theypletely entered the military area, there were no more sentries around.


    Looking at the rows of modern tanks and armored vehicles parked on both sides of the street not far away, Wu Mo felt very excited as a cksmith.


    These armored vehicles and modern tanks not only relied on the best modern technology but also used a lot of forging technology.


    That allowed the tanks to run smoothly in extreme cold or heat. Moreover, the speed of the armored vehicles did not decrease due to their weight.


    Looking at the shiny armored vehicles, Wu Mo could not help but sigh in his heart. Compared with other disaster-stricken countries, the Nine Provinces could be regarded as the light of mankind.


    They had always held the front line and never let the people of the Nine Provinces suffer the disaster of the Ten Thousand Races'' invasion.


    "These arebat vehicles developed by our military region. Not only can they perform well in all kinds of situations, but their defensive capabilities are also excellent. It''s just that there aren''t many of them currently being mass-produced. Only the elite troops can use them."


    Company Commander Zhang, who was standing at the side, noticed that Wu Mo seemed to be very interested in them, so he smiled and exined.


    Hearing this, Wu Mo nodded in realization. Ifbat vehicles with excellent defensive capabilities were to appear on the battlefield against the Ten Thousand Races next time, their army would be able to disy a greater advantage.


    The increase in the speed of armored vehicles meant that the dy in the transportation of materials in the future would no longer be a problem on the battlefield.


    These two innovative inventions could make them more active on the battlefield and allow them to be more at ease in the face of unexpected situations.


    As a cksmith, Wu Mo naturally understood what such innovative equipment meant to the cultivators on the front line.


    With that thought, he looked at thetest armored vehicles with a solemn look.


    These were all real works that could make Nine Provinces more stable and powerful. They must havebined the painstaking efforts of many scientists and master cksmiths.


    To be able to use one''s own abilities to make the country stronger and protect every inch of the country''snd was undoubtedly the highest honor for every cksmith.


    However, the only thing that Wu Mo could present at the moment was the undeveloped Invisibility Armor.


    "Let''s go. I''ll take you to the drill site to familiarize you with it in advance."


    Ren Bin, the deputypanymander, saw Wu Mo''s realization, and a trace of appreciation shed through his face.<sub> </sub>


    He spoke softly with a smile, and Wu Mo instantly snapped out of his state of enlightenment.


    He replied apologetically, "I''m sorry, I was in a daze for a moment¡ª"


    Before Wu Mo could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Company Commander Zhang.


    "Those who participate in this exercise are all our friends. There''s no need to be restrained. Let''s go."


    As Company Commander Zhang spoke, he walked forward with a smile.


    p Wu Mo weed themander''s friendly gaze and immediately followed him.</anda>


    "Little Sun, you can carry on with your work. I''ll make arrangements for the rest," Ren Bin turned his head and said to Sun Siqin, who was following him.


    Thetter immediately nodded and left in the opposite direction.


    Company Commander Zhang and Deputy Company Commander Ren Bin soon arrived at their destination with Wu Mo. The military exercise would be held the day after tomorrow.


    It was a ce with aplicated terrain and a vast area.


    The entire military exercise location covered an area of more than 10 kilometers. The simted terrains consisted of deserts, grasnds, mountains, trenches, and so on. There were also hidden jungles and mountains.


    The soldiers would be divided into two teams¡ªred and blue¡ªand their strongholds would be set up on both ends of the drill area. Once all the people in one team were eliminated, the exercise would end, and the remaining team would win.


    The actualbat practice tested the teams'' tactical arrangement, as well as the ability of themander in the rear to take charge of the overall situation.


    Many problems that did not appear on the battlefield would be magnified infinitely in actualbat exercises. It not only improved the physical fitness of the soldiers but also increased their tactical awareness.


    Looking at the grasnd before him and the continuous jungles, as well as mountains that blocked his vision in the distance, Wu Mo had a general understanding of the battlefield.


    After learning the rules, he had great expectations for the exercise that would take ce the day after tomorrow.


    "These are the battle zones that we built eight years ago. For so long, hundreds of tactics such as our lightning assault and seizing control of key points have been born from constantbat exercises," Company Commander Zhang exined in a gentle tone as he looked at the green mountains far away.


    Deputy Company Commander Ren Bin looked around and found that the monitoring and information transmission functions had been set up. He immediately nodded in satisfaction.


    At this moment, there were still many people standing in the exercise area. Most of them were staff members in the military. Of course, there were also many leaders in charge of rted work.


    When those leaders saw Company Commander Zhang and Deputy Company Commander Ren Bin exining the relevant matters of thebat exercise to a young man in his 20s, they immediately revealed a trace of surprise in their eyes.


    Company Commander Zhang was known for his selflessness. Only those who had made outstanding contributions to the theater of operations or the country could get his preferential treatment.


    Normally, even if his subordinates made a mistake, they would be criticized. They would be punished and made to reflect on their mistakes without any protection.


    He would only treat older researchers with a friendly attitude.


    They did not expect Company Commander Zhang to treat a young man in his early 20s so nicely and even call him an honored guest of the Third Military Region.

 Chapter 165 The Overly Young Wu Mo Shocks The Ministers

    This immediately aroused the leaders'' curiosity.


    The Third Military Region had been carrying outbat exercisestely, and many talents, as well as important figures in rted fields, had been invited to observe.


    However, Wu Mo''s extremely distant appearance did not resemble anyone that the higher-ups knew.


    The twomanders in the arms research and development field frowned slightly, wondering who this overly-young guest was.


    He went through the name list in his mind but could not find any information that matched the young man in front of him.


    "Hey, Old Zheng, isn''t this young man the researcher who was involved in that confidential project''s modification some time ago?" someone suddenly said with a happy face and bright eyes, as though he had recalled something


    The department head, who was called Elder Zheng, immediately reacted. "I''ve been trying to figure him out over the past two days, but I never expected this graduate student named Wu Mo to be so young," he said with a surprised look.


    When they thought of the fact that an excellent piece of work such as the Invisibility Armor came from a graduate student in his early twenties, their expressions were filled with awe.


    "Let''s go and say hello to the graduate student."


    The slimmer department head immediately walked toward Wu Mo after he finished speaking. Elder Zheng quickly followed him, afraid that he would miss the opportunity to get to know Wu Mo.


    Although Wu Mo was only a second lieutenant and his rank was much lower than theirs, both heads were eager to recruit talents to their departments.


    They had thrown the strict superior-subordinate rtionship to the back of their minds long ago.


    Soon, the two of them arrived before Wu Mo. Company Commander Zhang saw the twomanders'' anxious faces and instantly understood their intentions.


    "It looks like our two leaders can''t wait any longer. Allow me to introduce you." He smiled.


    "This is Zheng Shaohui, the head of our military region''s Research and Development Department, and this is Chu Yi, the head of the Arms Management Department. Thetest armored vehicle you saw was jointly developed by these two heads."


    Company Commander Zhang''s introduction gave Wu Mo a good picture.


    He quickly said, "Hello, Commander Zheng, Commander Chu. I''m Wu Mo, a graduate student from the fifth Research Department. I''m here to observe thebat practices in your area. Please guide me during the next few days."


    The two department heads grew even fonder of Wu Mo when they saw how polite he was.


    Zheng Shaohui courteously said, "Of course. We wee you to the Third Military Region very much. You''re a talent from the Research Department. We can''t neglect you."


    Wu Mo''s face turned red from his praise. He quickly waved his hand and said, "I was just lucky, Commander Zheng. You''re too kind."


    Chu Yi also smiled and shook hands with Wu Mo. "You don''t have to be so formal in the military. Just treat it as your own home. If you encounter anything you don''t understand here, you cane to me anytime."


    "Alright, I''ll have to trouble you twomanders then."


    Wu Mo found it a little difficult to refuse such hospitality from several leaders, so he could only go along.


    "Comrade Wu Mo, the two department heads have always been very enthusiastic. You''ll get used to it after a few more days."


    Deputy Company Commander Ren Bin noticed that Wu Mo was not used to it, so immediately exined with a smile.


    "Haha, who doesn''t like a talented person who can make important contributions to war?"


    The few of themughed and chatted.


    While they were at it, the twomanders enthusiastically introduced the exercise to Wu Mo.


    There were two teams with powerful members participating in the exercise this time, and both headsexined the entire process to Wu Mo in detail.


    They also hoped that Mr. Wu would visit the Third Military Region more often so that he could design more things for them.


    The Invisibility Armor was a breath of fresh air for themanders who were in charge of the military.


    They looked at him in a new way, especially after learning that this was only the first version.<sub> </sub>


    They sensed that down the road, Wu Mo would be a rare talent in the Nine Provinces.


    After all, many young cksmiths did not understand the situation on the battlefield at first. Hence, the things they designed would deviate from reality, making them difficult to use in actualbat.


    However, all the effects of Wu Mo''s Invisibility Armor suited the cultivator soldiers on the front line. Even seven-star cksmiths praised Wu Mo''s work.


    "Thank you, Commanders. I now have a clear understanding of the rules and matters rted to the exercise," Wu Mo cupped his hands and said gratefully.


    Commander Zheng waved his hand humbly, indicating that this was just a small matter.


    "Alright, it''s Comrade Wu Mo''s first time in our military region, so I''ll take my leave and arrange a ce for him to stay."


    Zhang Jianfeng said goodbye to the twomanders and immediately led Wu Mo to the VIP residence area with Ren Bin.


    On the way, Wu Mo saw many troops training. As Wu Mo saw the sweating soldiers train in their camouge uniforms, he could not help but admire them.


    Soon, the three of them arrived at the military residence.


    The residence was simr to a residential area, and Wu Mo saw a magnificent, symmetrical Chinese gate before him.


    At the top of the gate, there was a red five-pointed star, which added a solemn atmosphere to the ce.


    With Company Commander Zhang leading the way, Wu Mo and the other two entered without a hitch.


    They first brought Wu Mo to the registration room toplete the house registration.


    Then, they arrived at the front of the building.


    Wu Mo was assigned to Building 2, Room 301.


    It was a standard room with a balcony and floor-to-ceiling windows. It covered an area of more than 100 square meters.


    Not only did it have ess to beautiful scenery, but its lighting was also excellent.


    There was a convenience store and other practical facilities not far from the ground floor.


    "Okay, we won''t disrupt your rest now, Wu Mo. The exercise will begin at 9.00 am the day after tomorrow. I''ll inform you about it as soon as possible," Company Commander Zhang told him softly.


    "If you want a tour of the military region, you can contact me at any time. I''ll ask Little Sun to show you the Third Military Region''s vastnd and its spirit of iron!"


    The two of them treated Wu Mo like family. They took care of everything in every possible way, afraid that Wu Mo would feel distant there.


    Wu Mo was extremely grateful for it.


    After saying goodbye to the two leaders, he immediately started to look around the room.


    The room was decorated in the Chinese style with three separate bathrooms. The living room was spacious and bright, with a leather couch and a 72-inch LCD TV.


    Meanwhile, the bed in the bedroom was soft andfortable, without any weird smell.


    It was even morefortable than a hotel.


    As he sat on the couch, his entire body sunk in, and it wrapped in a slow-stic sponge.


    Looking at the crystal chandelier, he began to think about what he should do before the exercise began.


    The exercise would only start at 9.00 am the day after tomorrow, and he could use the free time before that to supplement his knowledge.


    He snapped his fingers lightly, and a white light shed in front of him. The next moment, a thick book appeared on the coffee table.


    Wu Mo picked up the book and began to read it with great interest.

 Chapter 166 Repairing The Epic-Grade Leather Bracelet

    It had been two and a half hours since he arrived in the military region after leaving the hotel where the ss reunion was held. He was not hungry yet, but he was a little tired.


    After all, he had slept until almost 10 o''clockst night because he was trying to improve the Invisibilty Armor.


    Following that, he had gone to the internal reference room. Not only did he borrow three books, but he also went to the exhibition area to see many excellent works.


    He had gone on to read the books and had not rested until now.


    If it had been someone else, they would not have been able to endure the tedious work and boring reading time. Wu Mo, however, was intoxicated with pain and happiness.


    In the blink of an eye, it was already half past six in the evening.


    Wu Mo, who had just returned from the military cafeteria, swiftly took out his room card. He then opened the door and went back to his room.


    On his way back to his residence, he had bought a bottle of Coke and some energy-replenishing snacks.


    He opened the can of Coke and heard a pop. The carbon dioxide inside instantly bubbled.


    Wu Mo raised his head and took a big gulp.


    His entire being feltfortable.


    He continued to pick up the book he had yet to finish reading.


    The crystal chandelier above his head emitted a constant soft white light, which apanied his reading.


    Time passed by slowly.


    The sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window gradually darkened before it was eventually reced by darkness.


    "Ah..."


    Wu Mo stood up and stretched, letting out a satisfied moan.


    He put the book back into his Interspatial Ring and walked back to his room with tired steps.


    He then closed the door and turned on his bedsidemp.


    After Wu Mo washed up in the bathroom, he immediatelyy down on the bed.


    His entire body felt lethargic, but every one of his cells exuded a feeling of satisfaction.


    His eyes gradually became tired, and he entered dreand.


    At this point, his more than 10 hours of being awake hadpletely ended.


    Wu Mo felt that his sleepsted rather long.


    He did not wake up until the sun shone into the room through the gaps in the curtains.


    He looked at his phone out of habit and found that it was already 8.30 am.


    After being awake for 18 hours, he slept for nearly 10 hours.


    He was so tired that he had neglected his biological clock, and for the first time, woke up after eight o''clock.


    Once Wu Mo got out of bed and washed up, Wu Mo put on his coat and went to one of the eight major military divisions not far from the VIP residence.


    The food there looked and smelled good. It was full of ingredients withprehensive nutrition.


    Wu Mo''s head was still a little heavy because he had slept for a long time. However, he felt refreshed upon drinking a bowl of pork ribs and radish soup.


    The current cafeteria and the fifth Research Department''s cafeteria each had their own merits.


    He returned to his residence after breakfast and did not n to read any more books today. After all, there were still five days before the deadline to return the books to the internal reference room.


    He had plenty of time to do other things.


    As for what he would do, he had already thought about itst night.


    He was going to repair the Sharp Leather Bracelet on his wrist.


    The bracelet''s fourth equipment effect could not be used in its damaged state. Biting Cold was its most useful effect.<sub> </sub>


    If he could repair it, he would be able to avoid any future dangers.


    He had not been very strong back then, and he never collected all the materials.


    Later on, he had gone to the Research Department, and since he received a Level B project as soon as he arrived, he had no time.


    When he was studying the Invisibility Armor, he obtained a lot of materials, hence he already met the conditions to repair it.


    Since he had time now, he might as well repair it.


    At the same time, he would also be more proficient in forging. With that, he would not be rusty in the future.


    After Wu Mo came up with a n in his mind, he immediately put it into practice.


    He slowly closed his eyes and calmed his mind.


    Soon, his five senses were cut off, and the darkness in front of him gradually began to glow purple.


    When he opened his eyes again, he was in a state of chaos.


    Looking at the familiar silver workbench and the furnace mold, his hands felt a little itchy. He instantly ced the materials he needed for repair on the workbench.


    Two of these materials were exchanged from the system''s store, and another was obtained from the Research Department''s materials warehouse.


    Since the system would not provide him with a blueprint for repairing existing equipment, everything would be a test of his theoretical knowledge and practical forging ability.


    Ultimately, repairing equipment was much more difficult than forging a new product.


    To repair the equipment of others, one not only had to understand the equipment''s original concept but also thoroughly understand the technique used. Otherwise, the donkey''s lips would not match the horse''s mouth. There would even be the risk of the equipment beingpletely scrapped.


    Therefore, an equipment repairman needed to have better skills than a cksmith.


    It was just that those expensive pieces of equipment were protected, and they could not be damaged easily.


    Therefore, the main profession of a repairman was still rted to forging.


    A good cksmith might not be able to be a repairman, but as long as one had the qualifications to be a repairman, one would definitely be a good cksmith.


    Wu Mo was only a newbie who had stepped into the field of forging less than four years ago.


    He had been studying hard over the years, especially after entering the fifth Research Department, where his theoretical knowledge had greatly expanded and improved.


    Nevertheless, he was still not very confident in repairing Epic equipment.


    He could only rely on the backtrack function within the Divine-grade Forging Space and try out the effects bit by bit.


    Wu Mo stood in front of the silver work desk, touching the smooth and cold surface before gradually calming down.


    He threw the prepared materials into the furnace first, then immediately controlled the furnace with his mental power to adjust the temperature.


    Different materials could withstand different temperatures. Some materials would melt in a me of 300 degrees, while others were incredibly resistant. They would not melt until the temperature was above 2,000 degrees.


    However, the furnace for material calcination in the forging space had been upgraded. On top of possessing 10 fire ports, it could also operate at different temperatures in the area.


    Wu Mopleted the step of melting the materials very well.


    In less than 10 minutes, the crystallized materials and fluids were ced into the crucible for preliminary cooling.


    Then, Wu Mo gently took off the leather bracelet and prepared to carry out the first step of the repair work.


    The surface of the leather bracelet had been weathered and exposed to the sun for a long time, hence it was cracked and damaged. He needed to use material and leather of the same attribute to repair it.


    Such work was not even considered beginner-level for Wu Mo.


    He took out the thinnest suture needle and immediately began to thread it.


    It did not take long for the surface of the leather bracelet to be repaired. At first nce, the color and lines were no different from the original.


    However, upon careful observation, one would be able to notice the differences. Despite that, a personal item''s appearance was not important to Wu Mo.


    He took out a sparkling translucent gem and threw it into the furnace. He then carried out the first step of removing the impurities and purifying the crystal.

 Chapter 167 - Complete Restoration

    <h4>Chapter 167: Complete Restoration</h4> <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong> Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion</h4>


    Due to the special nature of the gem, it had to be of the same attribute as the other gem on the leather bracelet if it wanted to be repaired. Otherwise, the equipment¡¯s energy would not be able to transmit steadily due to the different attributes of the gem. Not only would the effect be greatly reduced, but there was also the possibility of damage.


    Fortunately, he was able to proceed smoothly.


    Heating and tempering, Wu Mo began to repair the iid hole on the leather bracelet while the gem cooled down after its outer shell was removed.


    The energy circle around the socket had aged due to ack of energy for a long time. He needed to redraw the circle and get rid of the aged one.


    This step did not require much theoretical knowledge, but due to the repair¡¯splexity, the process required a lot of patience.


    By the time the translucent gem hadpletely cooled down, he had already finished repairing the socket.


    Wu Mo gently picked up the warm gem and embedded it into the hole.


    The next moment, a green light appeared. It followed the repaired transportation array, wrapping half of the leather bracelet. It smoothly blended with the gem on the other side, they andplemented each other.


    Suddenly, Wu Mo noticed that the purple light on the surface of the bracelet seemed to darken.


    The bracelet on the workbench was brand new, and the two gemstones were glowing faintly.


    Compared with its previous damaged and aged appearance, it had recovered a lot.


    Although the bracelet was not as good as when it was just cast, this was Wu Mo¡¯s best performance.


    Huff¡­


    He took a deep breath, and a glimmer of anticipation shed in his eyes. At the same time, he silently said in his heart, ¡®System, please appraise the repaired leather bracelet.¡¯


    [Ding! Ding! Equipment appraisalpleted. As this is the second appraisal, no points are required. The equipment value has been disyed.


    [Equipment Type: Bracelet


    [Equipment Name: Sharp Leather Bracelet.


    [Equipment Grade: Epic


    [System Rating: 69 points.


    [Equipment Effects: 1. Chill (the wearer will sense danger in advance. Cooldown: 1 day)


    [2. Mind¡¯s Eye (when forging equipment, the probability of failure is reduced by 10%.)


    [3: Sharpness (after equipping, the armor-piercing effect of the wearer¡¯s current weapon will increase by one level. Note: Unable to break through armor that is of a higher grade.)


    [4. Biting Cold (when being attacked, regardless of whether the attack hits the target, the target will be frozen and unable to move for 1 second. Cooldown: 12 hours. Note: Due to the lowpatibility of the two gemstones, the skill recovery time has increased.)


    [Equipment Evaluation: This piece of equipment has been worn for a few years. There are traces of a second repair. As the repair is not perfect, its quality cannot be upgraded. Overall, it is a great piece of Epic equipment.]


    Looking at the system panel and the string of data that appeared in front of him, Wu Mo felt a little regretful.


    Although he had sessfully repaired the equipment, he had not reached the upper limit of his skills. One could only say that his current repair skills still had a lot of room for improvement.


    Even so, it was considered a sess since he managed to restore the equipment¡¯s fourth effect.


    After all, the bracelet was of Epic grade. Only six-star cksmiths and above could repair equipment of this quality.


    He was content now that he had an additional means of protection in the face of danger. Plus, it did not cost him much of his own things. It was basically free.


    After putting the bracelet back on his wrist, Wu Mo shook his arm and nodded in satisfaction.


    With a thought, he immediately summoned the system¡¯s interface.


    At the same time, he opened his workstation¡¯s management settings.


    In the Divine-grade Forging Space, there were more than a dozen pieces of equipment such as a workbench, a strengthening table, a furnace, a molding machine, and so on. However, aside from the furnace, which had been strengthened once, the other pieces of equipment were still at their initial levels.


    He still had more than 200,000 system points left, and he could spend some of them on upgrading the equipment in the space.


    For example, the workstation was still at its initial Rare grade.


    When he was still at the Divine Arms Academy, Wu Mo had not met the conditions to upgrade the machine. However, after entering the Research Institute and learning in-depth, he had met enough conditions to unlock the workstation and mold machine.


    Wu Mo checked the Rare-grade Workstation¡¯s attributes.


    [Rare-grade Workstation


    [Equipment Effects: 1. Luck Token (Recovers one point of mental strength for every hour of umted use.)


    [2. Tranquility (Reduces negative emotions by 10%. Negative emotions include tension, trembling, and hallucinations.)


    [Unique Effect: Backtrack (Unlimited usage. Equipment forged in the chaotic space can be restored to its state before failure.)


    [Upgrade Requirement: 1,000 general points]


    Looking at the Rare-grade Workstation¡¯s attributes, Wu Mo chose to level up immediately.


    The workstation could be considered the core area of the entire smithing space. One could say that the earlier it was upgraded, the more benefits Wu Mo would be able to enjoy.


    A few months ago, he had spent numerous days and nights with this initial workstation. Going from his initial ignorance to his current mastery, he finally graduated in first ce and arrived where he was today.


    Now, he could clearly remember every inch of the workstation¡¯s texture.


    [Three hundred seconds are required to upgrade the workstation.]


    The system¡¯s ethereal voice echoed in his mind, immediately pulling Wu Mo back from his memories.


    He waited quietly and simultaneously thought about when to upgrade the mold machine.


    Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, 300 seconds had passed.


    The milky-white light around the workstation dissipated, and a brand-new workstation immediately appeared before Wu Mo.


    [The Premium-grade Workstation upgrade has beenpleted. Its attributes are as listed.


    [Equipment Effects: 1. Luck Token (Recovers three points of mental strength for every hour of use.)


    [2. Tranquility (Reduces negative emotions by 25%. Negative emotions include nervousness, trembling, hallucinations, and so on.)


    [3. Rapid Cooling (The cooling rate of the materials in the crucible doubles.)


    [Unique Effect: Backtrack (Unlimited usage. Equipment forged in the chaotic space can be restored to its state before failure.)


    [Upgrade Requirement: 10,000 general points (Upgrade condition not met)]


    The new workstation in front of him was dozens of centimeters longer, but the height was the same as before. There was also an additional set of equipment in the area where the crucibles were ced.


    The equipment could probably be used to speed up the cooling of the crucible.


    Wu Mo stepped forward and gently touched the workstation¡¯s smooth surface. When he felt the warm touch and the familiar texture, his heart rxed a lot.


    It must be the quietness in the forging space.


    His mind was as clear as the surface of a calmke, while he stood quietly beside the workstation.


    A pleasant fragrance entered his nose, making him feel refreshed.


    Sensing the workstation¡¯s efficiency, Wu Mo felt that the 1,000 points he had spent were worth it.

 Chapter 168 The Command Room

    It was a pity that he had yet to meet the conditions for further upgrades. Otherwise, he would choose to upgrade his workstation to Epic grade immediately.


    After taking a deep breath, Wu Mo exited the Divine-grade Forging Space and returned to the guest house in the military area.


    He heard the chirping of an unknown bird before he felt a gentle cool breeze blow against his face.


    Wu Mo sat down on the couch and continued his unfinished reading.


    Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was night again.


    He tried a few new cuisines in the cafeteria that were not avable in the fifth Research Department, and he enjoyed the food.


    Life in the military region was quiet and peaceful. It was highly suitable for those who wanted to lead a disciplined life.


    There were no noisy neighbors there or any children practicing the zither in the early morning. It was veryfortable.


    As a distinguished guest, he had the right to stay in the military guest house, but he would have to go back after the exercise.


    If one wanted to live there for a long time, one had to fulfill at least two conditions: serve in the military for five years and make a significant contribution to the country.


    If an ordinary person wanted to move in, they would need to serve for more than 15 years.


    Just based on those conditions, it was obvious that not everyone could stay in the military guest houses.


    At eight o''clock in the evening, Wu Mo had already started to read his second book.


    He had fully understood the contents of the first book and gained some insights.


    The second book was about something he did not know much about, hence Wu Mo decided to read it when he got back.


    Late at night, Wu Mo covered himself with the nket and went to sleep as usual.


    The military zone outside his window was still bustling with activity.


    Around the battle confrontation area, many staff members were carrying out final tests.


    <o>,m They were working hard to broadcast the images and sounds in real time tomorrow.</o>


    Over the past two days, important people had been visiting the military region from time to time. Wu Mo did not bother Sun Siqin, who was a busy liaison officer.


    In the morning, he took a stroll around the ce, and the wind whistled as it circled the military area.


    The sky was dark, with the exception of the stars.


    Rows of street lights stood on the side of the military area, and asionally, a few moths could be seen approaching the light.


    At the sentry post, the scouts in camouge uniforms were carrying out their searches professionally.


    Meanwhile, the patrols below were operating in an orderly manner, patrolling throughout the night.


    At the edge of the sky, however, the main color of darkness was slowly fading.


    A trace of marble white appeared and tried to spread in all directions.


    Gradually, the dark night was reced with a blue sky.


    In the shrubbery, the tender green sprouts were unable to bear the weight of the morning dew. They bent over from the pressure, dropping the morning dew onto the grass.


    The insects and birds also chirped with all their might as they yed a new chapter of the day.


    Wu Mo had woken up on the big bed at eight in the morning.


    He knew that the mock battle would begin today and 9.00 am.


    After washing up, he brought his cup to the canteen.


    Following a nutritious breakfast, he poured some lemon water into his ss.


    On the way to the exercise area, Wu Mo spotted many soldiers in a hurry.


    They seemed to be soldiers who were there to observe the exercise.


    It did not take long for him to receive a call from his liaison, Sun Siqin.<sub> </sub>


    He then came to one of the eightmand rooms that would be used to observe the mock battle.


    Themand room covered an area of 200 square meters, and there was a huge LCD screen on the wall opposite the door.


    The screen was divided into 16 square monitors, which disyed images of various positions in the exercise area.


    It would ensure that all the distinguished guests who came to watch could see every detail of the exercise through these images.


    Of course, many military reporters had arrived to record the entire exercise.


    There were already many people in themand room.


    As soon as Wu Mo entered the door, he saw the two leaders who had weed him the day before yesterday, Company Commander Zhang and his deputy, toon Commander Ren Bin.


    The two of them were standing not far away from the screen, smiling and discussing something with the people around them.


    Most of themand room had rows of seats.


    The two armsmanders were standing around the first row of seats, expressing their different views on the two teams that appeared on the screen.


    "Comrade Wu Mo, you''re here so early. Come and sit over here."


    Company Commander Zhang turned around and saw Mr. Wu standing next to themand room''s door. He walked up to him with a warm face and pulled Wu Mo to the first row of seats.


    Right then, there were already many people in themand room. The guests and staff who had been invited noticed Company Commander Zhang''s warm attitude toward a young man in his twenties.


    Furthermore, he had directly invited the young man to sit in the first row. They could not help but be surprised, and they asked the surrounding people what kind of talent the young man had to receive such good treatment.


    Although it was only one of the eightmand rooms in the mock battle, the first-row seats were usually reserved for higher-ranking leaders and technical talents.


    Even if that young man had made great achievements, he was still so young. How could hepete with the military region''s core talents?


    After all, the two armsmanders and the battalionmander of the Second Battalion were sitting in the first row. There was no one else.


    Although Company Commander Zhang and his deputy, toon Commander Ren Bin, also had the qualifications to do so, they had been entertaining the guests. Hence, they were not seated.


    That young man should not be qualified.


    Many people in themand center had their eyes on Wu Mo, and some of them were leaders from the Logistics Department.


    They had assumed that Wu Mo would decline the offer. Unexpectedly. thetter sat down directly next to the twomanders.


    "Gasp!"


    Seeing this, the few people who had been paying attention to Wu Mo were shocked.


    One thought to himself, ''This person is too honest and upright.''


    By doing so, hepletely ignored the strict hierarchy in the military.


    Just when they thought that the twomanders would be unhappy about it...


    The head of the Research and Development Department actually started to chat with the young man enthusiastically.


    "Comrade Wu Mo, we meet again."


    Zheng Shaohui, who was the closest to Wu Mo, immediately saw the young man and greeted him warmly.


    "Good morning, Department Head Zheng. Sorry for disturbing your demonstration," Wu Mo replied politely.


    "It''s okay. The drill hasn''t started yet. Suchbat training involving the red and blue team is rare. I''ll take a good lookter. Maybe I''ll have an epiphany," the head of the Arms Management Department, Chu Yi, who was slightly thinner, immediately said with a smile.


    "Okay. If I don''t understand anything, I hope that you two can exin it to me, Commanders."


    There was nothing surprising about their conversation.


    However, it shocked the people around him.


    The two department heads were pretty much the top heads of one of the core areas in the entire military region, and their ranks were higher than theirs. There were only a few leaders like them such as the battalionmanders and divisionmanders.

 Chapter 169 Simulated Confrontation

    Now, however, the two respectedmanders were actually chatting with this young man in a friendly manner.


    The scene was enough to startle everyone.


    They did not understand who this young man was.


    Since the exercise was about to begin, the doubts in their hearts were destined to be unsolved.


    There was a surveince image at the center of the big screen in themand room.


    The two teams of soldiers stood straight on the grasnd, waiting for their leaders to distribute the weapons and vehicles for the exercise.


    A round device was embedded in the chest area of the camouge uniforms they were wearing.


    The device could react with the ions in the demonstration weapons. Also, once the ions around the body reached a certain concentration, the device would be activated, and it would spray out smoke.


    This indicated that the soldier had beenpletely eliminated and could no longer participate in thebat exercise.


    Provided that they put on the camouge suit with the device, they would be able to simte actualbat situations as much as possible without any casualties.


    The screen on themand room''s wall showed the two teams participating in the exercise standing on two sides.


    Very quickly, a number of supply trucks that were loaded with weapons entered everyone''s field of vision.


    Four cannons that could fire ions also followed the supply trucks from behind.


    The equipment had been distributed.


    Each of the red and blue teams had 15 members. Each team received two supply wagons loaded with weapons and two ion cannons with a range of more than 2000 meters.


    The red team''s leader was a young man in his thirties with a crew cut. His skin had turned dark due to long-term exposure to the sun.


    However, it could be seen from his eyes that this squad leader was a soldier with a tough heart and strong execution ability.


    The blue team''s leader was younger, looking to be around 25 or 26 years old.


    His eyes were bright, his nose was high, his lips were thin, and his jawline was clear. Through the surveince camera, Wu mo looked at half of his face and felt that the ss monitor of Team Blue looked like a popr star.


    now, on behalf of the 3rd Military Region of North China, I announce that the confrontation exercise will begin immediately!


    After the weapons and equipment were distributed, the leaders in charge immediately announced the start of the exercise.


    Everyone in themand room was shocked and immediately turned their eyes to the LED screen that upied an entire wall.


    The squad leaders of the two teams immediately sent soldiers to drive the vehicles. At the same time, several people ran in the opposite direction with the cannons.


    In the blink of an eye, not even a single person could be seen on the vast green grass.


    this live exercise willst for three hours. We''ll win after eliminating all the people on the other side.


    however, due to theplicated terrain of the exercise area, the red and blue teams have to send Scouts to investigate the enemy and set up a battle n. After all, the equipment and resources of both sides are exactly the same. What theypete on is thebat ability of the members of both sides and the effectiveness of the battle n.


    Everyone turned their attention to the exercise that had already begun. At this moment, toon leader Ren bin, who was standing under the LCD screen, immediately picked up the microphone and introduced the rules of the entire exercise to the guests present.


    Although Wu mo had already understood, he still listened with great interest.


    In the sky above the exercise area, a buzzing sound could be heard.


    Drones with high-definition cameras flew into the air and chased after the two teams.


    The first step of the mock battle was to set up camp.<sub> </sub>


    After all, the supply wagons and cannons were very heavy and precious, and it was impossible to carry them everywhere.


    And choosing a temporary camp was also a skill.


    The red and blue teams were fighting in the exercise area within a ten-kilometer radius.


    They had to ensure that the camp was well hidden and could not be detected in a short time.


    After all, the maximum range of the ion Cannon was two kilometers. If they were exposed in advance, they might bepletely annihted in one shot.


    The red team''s area had an endless range of mountains. The vegetation here was very dense, and with the help of the terrain, they couldpletely conceal their tracks.


    The blue team area also had trenches and forests, which were also good for hiding.


    It was very difficult to encounter closebat in a mock battle.


    This was because there were many rifles and sniper rifles among the weapons issued for the exercise, and they were mainly for long-range shooting.


    Because between the two areas was a desert that was hundreds of meters wide. If they walked straight up, they would be easily exposed. It was likely that they would be attacked before they could even see the enemy.


    Through the images of the drones and the surveince cameras, everyone in themand room knew what was happening in the exercise area.


    They saw that the red team had already chosen a temporary camp. It was a low-lying area sandwiched between two mountain ranges.


    There were dense trees and bushes around them, making their concealment ability extremely strong.


    As for the blue team, they chose to set up camp in the depths of the forest.


    Both sides quicklypleted the first task. After that, they had to n their battle and assign tasks.


    The red team had arranged for two Scouts to wear clothes that could block thermal imaging detection, as well asbat equipment such as triangr stiletto and binocrs.


    They took the lead and set out towards the surrounding mountain range, preparing to make use of the geographical advantage to investigate the blue team''s situation.


    The ss leader nned to split the remaining thirteen people into two groups.


    One group would head to the desert border, ambush, and look for opportunities to kill as many as possible.


    The other team contacted the scouts and prepared to set up cannons to provide long-range fire support.


    In just 20 minutes, squad leader Fang of the red team had already arranged the tasks, and he didn''t pick out any mistakes.


    Everyone in themand room nodded in agreement.


    They praised the red team''s squad leader for his outstanding ability to adapt to the situation and arrange battle ns. He had already made preparations in such a short time.


    it''s not hard for everyone to see that the strategy chosen by the red team is more stable. This way, not only can they find out the terrain of the red team in a short time, but they can also detect the movements of the blue team. It can be said that they have done a pretty good job.


    The toon leader, Ren bin, held the microphone and did his best to analyze the situation on the battlefield.


    Wu mo, who was sitting in the first row, took a sip of water, but his eyes were still fixed on the big screen.


    Zheng Shaowei, the head of the R & d Department, saw that Wu mo was engrossed in the movie and immediately asked in a low voice,"Comrade Wu mo, between the red and blue teams, which one do you think has better overall ability?"


    Hearing this question, Wu mo frowned. He looked at the two busy teams on the big screen and thought for a moment, then said, " "I feel that in terms of closebat ability, the red team should be slightly more outstanding, because they have four five star xiuzhe in their team, and their overall strength is stronger."


    however, because this is a simted confrontation, everyone''s ability to withstand damage has been pulled to the same level. If the surrounding ion concentration is too high, they will be eliminated directly. So, it is still impossible to determine who will win.

 Chapter 170 - Reversal

    <h4>Chapter 170: Reversal</h4> <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong> Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion</h4>


    After saying that, Wu Mo felt that his speech was a little inappropriate, so he added another sentence.


    ¡°In reality, in such simted confrontation, the shooting ability has a greater impact on the battle situation. The Divine weapons and holy armor they wear are basically useless in a battle at this distance.¡±


    After hearing Wu Mo¡¯s opinion and exnation, Minister Zheng Shaowei nodded slightly.


    At this moment, he felt even more that Wu Mo was different from other cksmiths who did scientific research.


    Wu Mo¡¯s judgment of the battle situation was more acute, and he could better control what the cultivators on the front line needed. He waspletely different from those pretentious and useless cksmiths who only knew how to pile up data.


    In themand room, many of the invited guests began to discuss with their friends who were sitting next to them as Ren Bin exined.


    They wanted to know who would win in the actual battle.


    As time passed in the exercise area, the members of both teams moved toward the center of the desert.


    At that moment, the two scouts lying on the highest peak of the red zone discovered a team of soldiers in the Blue Zone several miles away with their binocrs.


    The soldiers of the blue team were currently marching through the forest. There were a total of seven people.


    However, the two scouts were too far away from the blue team¡¯s soldiers. They could not see the other party¡¯s appearance or the equipment they were carrying.


    However, he had to report to his superior if he found traces of his opponent.


    Soon, one of the scouts took out a walkie-talkie and reported the information he saw to the camp.


    On the other side, the red team, which had arrived not far from the desert, received the message from the camp and immediately began to attack.


    It did not take long for the first shot to explode in the Blue Zone.


    This shot was the result of the tacit cooperation between the scout, the camp, and the team. It hit the blue team¡¯s hiding spot from 1.7 kilometers away.


    Although the first shot did not cause any casualties, it dealt a heavy blow to the blue team¡¯s morale. At the same time, the first victory also put invisible pressure on the blue team¡¯s scouts.


    The goal was to tell the other party that their scouts were not good enough and could not find out where they were hiding.


    At this moment, in the Blue Zone, the first team¡¯s formation waspletely disrupted.


    Although the ion cannon was fired at a distance of more than ten meters away from them, the ion concentration still caused the devices on the chest of the two soldiers to react.


    Now that it had almost been activated, it was equivalent to residual blood. If he was injured again, he would bepletely out of the game.


    ¡°Retreat!¡±


    The leader of Team Blue¡¯s first team immediately gave the order. He lowered his voice, afraid that he would be discovered by Team Red.


    While the team was retreating, the second cannonballnded again, but this time it was 50 meters away, so it didn¡¯t affect them.


    However, as the blue team¡¯s second cannonball was fired, the red team also began their counterattack.


    One of the cannoneers from the blue team had analyzed the approximate area of the enemy¡¯s ion cannon based on the two shots.


    He immediately fired back.


    Four hundred meters away in the desert, the sound of artillery shells rumbling and explosions continued. The sound of bullets tearing through the air was also fully transmitted to themand room.


    Looking at the image captured by the drone and the red team hurriedly changing locations with their ion cannons, everyone couldn¡¯t help but sigh. The blue team¡¯s cannoneers ¡®analysis ability was too strong.


    The two sides were clearly separated by several kilometers, but the blue team¡¯s cannoneers were able to analyze the enemy¡¯s specific location through the two shots fired by the enemy. This made one sigh with admiration at the enemy¡¯s powerful techniques.


    They had clearly been the first to reveal their position, and they had been in the weaker south. However, because of the cannoneers ¡®counterattack, they hadpletely reversed the rhythm.


    ¡°Not bad, this blue team cannoneer is very skilled.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s indeed very powerful. I¡¯m afraid it¡¯ll take many years of training to master such calctions.¡±


    ¡°It seems like the oue of this battle drill is still unknown.¡±


    ¡°Who would¡¯ve thought that the red team, which had the upper hand earlier, would lose the initiative to attack because of the extraordinary performance from the blue team¡¯s cannoneers? This battle situation is really confusing.¡±


    Everyone began to analyze the situation and enthusiastically discussed the current battle situation.


    At this moment, in the exercise area, as the locations of the two forces were exposed, the battle was extremely intense.


    At the same time, there were constant explosions. Because it was an ion cannon that could not be seen or touched, it did not affect the vegetation in the area.


    Of course, it was not just the troops holding the ion cannons at the front.


    There was a team of snipers hidden on both sides of the forest.


    The snipers seemed to have blended in with their surroundings, leaving only a ck Barrel outside.


    They did not move at all, staring at the optical scope on the sniper rifle.


    Unless they were 100% sure, they would not shoot easily.


    It was because it was extremely dangerous to expose one¡¯s location in such an environment.


    Of course, only the soldiers were not aware of their positions. The distinguished guests in themand room could see them clearly through the surveince cameras and drones.


    ¡°It¡¯s been hard on these snipers. They usually lie down in one ce for hours without moving.¡±


    ¡°To protect the country and defend the border, these soldiers are the soul of our Nine Provinces.¡±


    ¡°I think I see a few snipers in a psychological battle. I don¡¯t know which side will make the first move.¡±


    Hearing the discussions around him, Wu Mo had a simr thought.


    The training for these soldiers who were going through thebat drill was really too hard. Whether it was the scouts who provided information for the entire battle or the snipers who apanied the fallen leaves, everyone had put in their effort and never said a word of hardship.


    He had great respect for these soldiers.


    He thought, ¡®They are indeed worthy of being the soldiers of our Nine Provinces. They are indeed unyielding and never give up!¡¯


    Just as he was lost in his thoughts, Company Commander Zhang, who had finished receiving the guests not far away, suddenly walked towards him and sat down on his left.


    As a result, thepanymander in charge of the firstpany sat on his left, and the twomanders of the Armament Department sat on his right. Hepletely became the focus of the audience.


    ¡°Good Morning, Company Commander Zhang.¡±


    Wu Mo waved his hand in greeting.


    Zhang Jianfeng nodded and lowered his voice. ¡°Comrade Wu Mo, I wonder if you know about the equipment worn by the blue and red teams?¡±


    Seeing Company Commander Zhang¡¯s sudden question, the twomanders sitting on Wu Mo¡¯s right immediately understood that Zhang Jianfeng wanted to discuss the military affairs of the 3rd MR with Wu Mo.


    The two ministers looked at each other and immediately fell silent.


    They could not wait for Wu Mo, who could make Invisibility Armor, to provide thetest equipment for their military region.


    How could he stop them?


    ¡°Company Commander Zhang, I¡¯m not too sure. But judging from the type of clothes they¡¯re wearing, it should be some kind of light battle suit,¡± Wu Mo said with uncertainty.


    <strong>??</strong>

 Chapter 171 - The Unpredictable Battle Situation

    <h4>Chapter 171: The Unpredictable Battle Situation</h4> <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong> Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion</h4>


    ¡°Hehe, they¡¯re wearing clothes that are specially designed for exercises. However, this suit is different from the ninth-generation standardbat suit but has the same functions. The only difference is that there¡¯s an additional ion sensor on the chest,¡± Company Commander Zhang said softly as he stared at the big screen in front of him.


    Wu Mo finally understood why he felt that the clothes the soldiers were wearing were so simr to the ones he had seen in the Level B project.


    The performance of the ninth-generation standardbat suit was pretty good, but it was difficult to cope with more and moreplicated battle situations. It was more than enough for practice, though.


    ¡°Company Commander Zhang, what kind of strategy or individual equipment do you think can effectively win the battle in such an actualbat exercise?¡± Wu Mo immediately asked after a moment¡¯s thought.


    Zhang Jianfeng frowned. He was suddenly stumped by Wu Mo¡¯s question.


    The exercise area where the two teams of soldiers were located hadplex terrains of high mountains, trenches, grasnds, and deserts. The main problems they faced were theck of information and concealment.


    If they could have a battle n or individual equipment that could solve these two problems at the same time, it would not be difficult to win the battle.


    ¡°In my opinion, I think we should develop a positioning telescope that can distinguish itself from infrared rays. It can rely on other technical means to locate the enemy¡¯s position. As long as the enemy¡¯s traces are exposed, the battle will be much easier.¡±


    Wu Mo nodded slightly when he heard Zhang Jianfeng¡¯s opinion.


    His idea was indeed a solution, but it was tooplicated to put this technology into real life.


    Instead, he had a simpler method, which was to use the sonic gun.


    It should be more feasible to project the sound waves to the other party¡¯s area and then analyze the other party¡¯s position ording to the waveform of the reflection.


    However, he did not say this out loud. He just treated it as a random thought.


    After all, there was no simrity between fighting against the invading races and fighting in actualbat drills.


    A real battlefield required quick means to finish off the enemy.


    After all, the Ten Thousand Races that had invaded were only strong and powerful. Most of them had intelligence simr to that of animals, and only a small number of them could reach the level of humans.


    Just as the two of them were discussing, a gunshot was heard in themand room.


    Everyone immediately looked at the LCD screen and found that the blue team¡¯s sniper had found the position of the other team¡¯s sniper and fired a shot to instantly kill a member of the red team.


    Bang!


    The sound of the gunshot reverberated through the jungle and the mountains. On the other side of the desert, the ion reactor in the chest of the sniper who was lying down on the reverse slope was instantly activated. A cloud of smoke rose, and the young sniper from the red team looked depressed and guilty for not performing well.


    His teammate, who was hiding under a huge rock not far away, immediately gestured to him to leave first.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Captain.¡±


    The sniper stood up and apologized in a low voice. Then, he walked out of the zone¡¯s boundary as everyone looked.


    The scene was captured by the drone camera in the air and transmitted to themand room in real-time.


    Looking at the red team¡¯s sniper leaving the field, everyone could not help but feel sorry for him.


    ¡°It¡¯s such a pity that we¡¯ve been controlled by the other party in advance. Now that the red team has one less person, it¡¯ll be even more difficult to win.¡±


    ¡°Battlefields are like this. They change unpredictably, and a small mistake will be magnified infinitely.¡±


    ¡°Looks like the blue team has quite a number of good yers. The cannoneer from before was like that. One shot directly disrupted the rhythm of the red team. Now that the sniper has sessfully eliminated one person, the blue team has a high chance of winning this round.¡±


    Hearing the discussion from the people behind him, Wu Mo was also worried for Team Red.


    If this continued, the red team¡¯s chances of winning would only get lower and lower.


    Unless they reconfigured their rhythm soon, it would only be like boiling a frog in warm water, and they would fail sooner orter.


    He stared at the surveince image on the big screen in a daze. He wanted to see how the red team¡¯s team leader would deal with the current situation.


    In the exercise area, a temporarymand camp was set up between two continuous mountains.


    A few soldiers in camouge were gathered around a map, frowning.


    Previously, a sniper in their team had identally exposed his position and was eliminated by the opponent with one shot.


    Now, the entire team was covered in ayer of haze.


    Compared to the blue team in terms of numbers, they were at a disadvantage. Furthermore, the other party was currently searching for their position and could face the baptism of fire at any moment.


    On the other side, the team had not made any progress.


    After a while, the enemy was likely to bypass the desert from the side and cause more damage to them. They had toe up with a countermeasure as soon as possible.


    ¡°Captain Shen, our artillery can¡¯t detect the enemy¡¯s position at all. It¡¯spletely useless. What should we do?¡± aburly young man said with an anxious expression.


    The one called Captain Shen was a young man with a crew cut.


    Thetter had dark skin, a square face, thick ck eyebrows, and a pair of eyes that were slightly fierce.


    ¡°What¡¯s the hurry? the simted confrontation is far from over. We¡¯ll only know who wins and who loses when the timees.¡±


    He was a little annoyed by the urging, so he immediately took off his hat and mmed it on the table. At the same time, he spoke angrily.


    ¡°How about this, you stay here and watch over this ce. I¡¯ll go and meet up with team one. No matter what, we have to eliminate a few of the blue team¡¯s people!¡± he said impatiently.


    Then, he immediately got up and walked out of the camp.


    Everyone was stunned. Captain Shen was the core of the team. If he were to be eliminated on the battlefield, Team Red would be leaderless, and it would copse immediately.


    Unfortunately, Captain Shen had a stubborn temper. Once he made a decision, even three bulls would not be able to pull him back. The few people in the camp who were responsible for contacting the other members could only ask the captain to leave.


    Shen Qing took a few pieces of individual equipment from the supplies truck at the side and directly rushed toward the direction of the first team.


    Seeing this, everyone in themand room was a little confused.


    Shen Qing was the captain of the red team and he should be the one overseeing the camp and givingmands.


    But now, Shen Qing who was supposed tomand the battlefield actually brought individual equipment and was going to join up with a team to fight. This was simply nonsense in their eyes.


    ¡°It seems like the red team¡¯s leader can¡¯t tell what¡¯s going on anymore. Isn¡¯t he afraid that the blue team will bypass the desert and attack their base if he leaves the camp in such a situation?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. If themunication equipment in the camp and the resources in the vehicles are all snatched away, then the red team will lose without a fight!¡±


    ¡°Although this person looks older, it¡¯s obvious that he can¡¯t take on the heavy responsibility of being the team leader. I think that Team Red is really going to fail this time.¡±


    ¡°Actually, it¡¯s not the soldiers¡¯ fault. They can only me themselves for having a captain who can¡¯t see the situation clearly.¡±


    <strong></strong>

 Chapter 172 Psychological Tactics

    Many of the leaders in themand room expressed their disapproval of the red team''s captain this time.


    Whether it was the charge or the defensive battle, these should be left to the soldiers toplete. As the captain, he should stay behind and control the situation.


    Only when everyone in the team had a clear division ofbor could they win a beautiful battle.


    However, Wu Mo, who was sitting in the first row, did not think so.


    He felt that this was not a big battle, and the surrounding battle area was less than 10 kilometers. Instead of sitting in the back and not being able to exert all their abilities, it was better to fight in the front and seek victory in the midst of danger.


    After all, the red team was already in a disadvantageous position. If they continued to fight ording to n, they would definitely be defeated.


    Under such circumstances, only by breaking conventional thinking could he turn the tide!


    Of course, everyone''s ability to judge things was different. It was understandable that those people would think that the red team''s captain had failed his duty.


    <o>,m Right then, the monitor showed the red team''s captain, Shen Qing, crossing the mountain range and rushing toward team one''s direction.</o>


    Team two was carrying the ion cannons, and its members were also looking for a good direction.


    At the highest peak of the Red Zone mountain range, two scouts were lying in the grass, looking in the direction of the Blue Zone with binocrs, ready to report coordinates and the situation at any time.


    Simultaneously, the blue team was also on the move.


    They nned to attack from the edge of the desert, cross dozens of meters of the desert area, enter the Red Zone, arrange for specialists to raid the camp in the Red Zone, and grab the resources or destroy them.


    As long as this mission waspleted, they would be able to win the mock battle.


    After the team leader gave them this battle n, all the members of the blue team agreed and immediately carried it out.


    The seven members of team one walked through the jungle and arrived at the edge of the exercise area without anyone noticing.


    He was ready to cross the 50-meter desert at any time.


    At the same time, the scouts were also constantly observing the Red Zone, ready to bring important information to the frontline troops.


    Theymunicated through walkie-talkies to ensure that everyone could be contacted at the first moment.


    At this moment, a group of people from the blue team was already lying in ambush at the edge of the desert, ready to find an opportunity to cross the desert at any time.


    The blue team members of team two who were pulling the ion cannons were alsomunicating with the scouts. They were ready to fire the cannons and cause the enemy to panic. Then, the members of team one would take advantage of the chaos to enter the Red Zone.


    The few people guarding the campsite had also beenmunicating with the two teams.


    In order to stabilize the battle.


    After all, the blue team was in an advantageous position now. When the time came, those in the Red Zone would definitely feel the pressure and do something irrational. When that time came, they only needed to take advantage of the situation.


    Just as the three parties were mediating, the sound of a cannon could suddenly be heard from the red team.


    The ion cannon exploded in the blue team''s jungle area, instantly putting the members of the first team not far away on guard.


    "What''s going on? Why is the red team firing their cannons in this situation? Aren''t they afraid of exposing their position?"


    In team one, a burly leader with three camouges on his face suddenly questioned the situation in a low voice.


    "I don''t know. We''ve been following the route you told us and haven''t made any noise."


    The team members behind him immediately responded. The others also looked confused and dumbfounded. They had no idea why the red team, which had been hiding all this while, would dare to fire at them.


    Were they not afraid that their cannoneers would predict the enemy''s position based on the source of the sound and counterattack?<sub> </sub>


    No one knew why the cannon had been fired.


    After all, the ion cannon also required energy to operate.


    Each ion cannon could only fire up to 20 shots of ion energy.


    Once it was used up, it would be no different from scrap metal in this situation.


    Every one of them was carefully protected, for fear of being wasted.


    Who would have thought that Team Red would fire the ion cannon without knowing the enemy''s position?


    Their tactic had thempletely dumbfounded.


    On the other side, the members of Team Red''s team one were also looking at their leader, who was holding the ion cannon, in surprise.


    "Captain, aren''t you just beating the grass and alerting the snake?!" a person in a camouge suit beside him immediately asked.


    They were already at a disadvantage, and if the ion cannons were destroyed, their chances of victory would be even slimmer.


    "That''s right, Captain. How could you fire so rashly? They can''t be at the edge of the jungle. After all, even the least dangerous part of the desert is 50 meters away. If we rush over like this, at least three people will be eliminated."


    "You''re right, we should hide and see who is more patient."


    The team members were all very unhappy. The captain''s irrational move at this time was simply adding to their troubles.


    But to Shen Qing''s ears, their words werepletely unreasonable.


    "Bullsh*t. What''s the point of hiding? We''ll hide until thest moment of the exercise. We have fewer people than them, and we''ll lose."


    He looked at the crowd with a cold gaze and said in a powerful voice, "What''s the point of worrying about this now? Don''t we have two ion cannons? Let''s just clean up the jungle on the other side. I don''t believe they can hide and note out!"


    Looking at Shen Qing''s vicious gaze, the members of the first group all took a deep breath.


    The ion cannons were their most lethal weapons, and each of them only had 20 shots.


    It would be such a waste if they were only used to force the others to reveal their positions.


    Moreover, if all 40 cannonballs were fired and did not cause any effective damage to the blue team, would the follow-up not be useless?


    They felt that Captain Shen Qing''s proposal was too outrageous.


    On the battlefield, one should fight steadily and advance step by step, not use everything one had just to force the blue team to reveal their position.


    "Captain, do you want to reconsider?" aslightly chubby soldier scratched his head and said subconsciously.


    "Consider my a**. If we dy any longer, the blue team will definitely rush over. At that time, we won''t be able to fight them in closebat no matter how many of us are left," Shen Qing said somewhat resentfully.


    He felt that it was time to put down his foolish and traditional ideas. Instead of sticking to the old rules, it was better to innovate and fight.


    "Then... that''s fine."


    The members of the first group could only agree. After all, Shen Qing was the captain of this exercise and they needed to obey orders unconditionally.


    In terms of strength and military rank, in the entire team, no one could stand shoulder to shoulder with Captain Shen Qing.


    "That''s more like it. It''s settled then. Take your binocrs and watch. Report to me if anything happens.


    "Those still with two good legs, we''ll change locations after one round of shooting."

 Chapter 173 - Shen Qing’s Plan

    <h4>Chapter 173: Shen Qing¡¯s n</h4> <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong> Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion</h4>


    Shen Qing continuously gave out missions to everyone and then quickly came to the side of the ion cannon.


    He knelt partially beside the ion cannon and used both hands to adjust the position of the muzzle.


    His eyes shed with a sharp cold light as he stared at the forest on the other side of the desert that was being blown by the breeze.


    The dense vegetation almost blocked his vision.


    But his eyes, which seemed to be able to see through everything, remained bright.


    He seemed to have a n in mind and was ready to press theunch button.


    What was happening in the Red Zone was being broadcasted live to themand area by the cameras tied to the trees.


    Many of the leaders and invited guests, after seeing Shen Qing¡¯s unorganized strategy, shook their heads one after another, feeling that this time the red team would definitely lose.


    toon leader Ren bin, who was standing on the stage, immediately began to exin.


    ¡°We can see that the red team is obviously at a disadvantage and Captain Shen Qing seems to be affected by the pressure and is not very calm.¡±


    I can imagine that if they fire all 40 of their ion cannons, the threat to the South will be minimized.


    by that time, they can use the cover of the artillery to send a team of people across the desert into the red zone. By then, the red zone members who have been beaten up will definitely not be able to organize an effective resistance and will miss the best opportunity to stop them.


    however, no one knows what the result will be until thest moment. Let¡¯s wait and see who will be the final winner in the battle between the blue and red factions!


    Director Ren bin¡¯s words hadpletely stirred up everyone¡¯s expectations.


    Everyone¡¯s eyes were burning as they stared at the big screen, wanting to see what kind of choice would the red team¡¯s captain Shen Qing make?


    Although there was no danger in this kind of mock battle, it could still be used to understand a person¡¯s ability. If the red team¡¯s leader¡¯s n failed in the battle, this actualbat exercise would definitely be thetter, a dark history that could not be erased.


    It might also affect his future career.


    At this moment, the surveince screen in the corner of the big screen suddenly turned ck. A Maple Leaf was blown by the wind and coincidentally covered the surveince screen.


    Then, he fell back to the ground.


    The forest was silent.


    Everyone tensed up their muscles and looked at their Captain, who was controlling the ion Cannon.


    One could only see Shen Qing kneeling on one leg at the side of the ion Cannon.


    He was constantly adjusting the muzzles with both hands.


    Then, he seemed to have found a target and pressed theunch button without any hesitation.


    ¡°BOOM!¡±


    Driven by the energy inside the ion Cannon, a beam of light followed the trajectory of the parab and smashed down toward a certain jungle area in the South.


    The deafening sound of cannons resounded in the sky above the drill area.


    The recoil from the ion Cannon sent the fallen leaves on the ground flying.


    No one had the time to block it. They all looked at the area where the ion Cannon wouldnd.


    This was because if someone was eliminated, the sensor device would emit thick smoke, and they would be able to find the position of the other group.


    However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.


    The entire practice area was silent after the first cannon st.


    The forest where the blue team had been struck earlier did not emit any thick smoke either. There was only a faint red light emitted by the diffusion of ions.


    Seeing this, the red team¡¯s first team was instantly disappointed.


    As expected, the ion Cannon was wasted again.


    Looking at the energy screen on the side of the silver ion Cannon, it only showed the number 16.


    ¡°Don¡¯t just stand there, let¡¯s go!¡±


    After firing one shot, Shen Qing did not hesitate to hold the lever and dragged the ion Cannon as she ran towards the back.


    The other six quickly did as they were told. Less than five seconds after they left, the area they were hiding in was immediately greeted with an Ion Cannon from the blue team.


    BOOM!


    The violent sound brought a wave of air, blowing the surrounding trees and shaking them.


    The red team¡¯s footsteps only paused for a moment before they immediately followed Captain Shen Qing to escape.


    Soon, they arrived at the second hiding spot, which was not bad.


    Shen Qing immediatelyid on the ground and began to adjust the data of the Cannonball.


    In the Blue Zone, separated by a desert, the team suddenly became noisy through the dedicatedmunication channel in the walkie-talkie.


    A team of soldiers asked,¡¯what¡¯s going on? Are the red team crazy?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity that we didn¡¯t hit them this time. At least they ran fast!¡±


    The blue team¡¯s leader: ¡± everyone, don¡¯t be impatient. They will definitely give themselves away. We have the advantage, so there¡¯s no need to be anxious.


    ¡°This is ridiculous. It¡¯s hard to imagine what kind of mental state the red team¡¯s captain is in.¡±


    Within two minutes, the red team had fired two ion cannons in session. The blue team was at a loss.


    A team of soldiers hiding at the edge of the desert bushes were also discussing the red team¡¯s actions.


    ¡°Are we still going to wait? I feel that the red team has be like this. It¡¯s obvious that their mentality has copsed. Why don¡¯t we just rush over?¡±


    A person hiding under a tree asked in a low voice.


    The leader of team one immediately denied it. don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s not the time to rush in yet. We¡¯ll take action when team two¡¯s ion cannons provide us with cover.


    ¡°Alright,¡± he said.


    The rest of them could only suppress their excitement for the time being.


    It became silent and blended into the surrounding environment.


    However, they didn¡¯t expect that the red team¡¯s crazy actions were far from stopping.


    ¡°BOOM!¡±


    The rumbling sound of an Ion Cannon firing rang out, causing the people from the blue team to be on guard again.


    Even the red team¡¯s second team was a little confused. What was wrong with their Captain?


    Was firing a cannon even addictive?


    But when the other members of the red team began to doubt Captain Shen Qing¡¯s decision, a gun suddenly pierced through the air and directly hit one of the blue team¡¯s snipers, who was subconsciously trembling slightly due to the sound of the cannon.


    Of course, this information was also given to him by the two Scouts who were lying on the highest peak in the red zone.


    As there were not many ces suitable for a sniper to hide in the Blue Zone, the two Scouts were also constantly paying attention to these areas. The moment the cannon sounded, they saw a slight tremble in a pile of fallen leaves in the Blue Zone.


    The shaking was very far away from thending point of the ion Cannon. Other than natural factors, the only exnation was that a sniper was hiding in this ce.


    Soon, the rising white smoke gave the red team the best feedback.


    In the red team, the sniper who had fired the shot earlier immediately rolled to the side.


    The two bullets arrived in an instant, and the huge pneumatic power sent the dust on the ground flying into the air.


    ¡°Alright!¡±


    Seeing that the red team¡¯s sniper had not only sessfully eliminated the blue team¡¯s member, but had also retreated unscathed, the red team¡¯s walkie-talkie immediately transmitted the excited shouts of team two¡¯s soldiers.


    <strong></strong>

 Chapter 174 - Battle in the Jungle

    <h4>Chapter 174: Battle in the Jungle</h4> <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong> Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion</h4>


    The shot had undoubtedly raised the red team members ¡®auras, causing the pressure and nervousness in their hearts to vanish without a trace.


    Furthermore, due to the two consecutive shots fired, the blue team had exposed the position of two snipers. They could only leave their hiding spot and hide elsewhere.


    Plus, this back-and-forth would naturally waste a lot of time.


    The red team felt much better now. The gloomy atmosphere from before had beenpletely obliterated by the rising white mist.


    Soldier A from the red team said, ¡°D* mn, Captain Shen is awesome. He eliminated the enemy sniper with one move.¡±


    Sniper A added, ¡°Actually, I¡¯ve noticed it too. There might be a blue team sniper in that area. I haven¡¯t been able to find the exact location. I didn¡¯t expect it to be in the pile of fallen leaves between two trees.¡±


    Soldier B asked, ¡°What do you mean? Didn¡¯t you doubt Captain Shen¡¯s strategic n? All of you, stand out!¡±


    ¡°F*ck, you were the one who objected the most earlier!¡±


    A member of team one immediately lowered his voice and ridiculed him. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that he was worried about being discovered by the blue team, he would have killed him.


    ¡°Hehe, I was just making a casual remark. Captain Shen¡¯s ability is obvious to all. Who would dare to object?¡±


    The soldier with two lines on his face immediatelyughed and imperceptibly ttered Captain Shen Qing.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be talkative, keep moving.¡±


    ¡°AI, okay.¡±


    With their previous sess, they didn¡¯t have anyints about moving the ion cannons this time. In fact, they were even more diligent.


    In the blink of an eye, a team of seven people had arrived at a ce two hundred meters away.


    Captain Shen Qing quickly mounted the cannon and began to choose the next firing point of the ion Cannon.


    At this moment, in the red team.


    The sniper, who was constantly emitting smoke from his body, immediately walked out of the practice area.


    The other snipers who were lying in ambush around him all had surprise and regret in their eyes.


    This sniper was the best marksman in their team, but he was the first to be eliminated.


    At the end of the day, it was because the red team¡¯s Ion Cannon hade too suddenly. No one had been prepared for it, which led to an additional situation.


    Captain, we can¡¯t go on like this. Who knows where their next shot willnd? if we¡¯re identally hit, we¡¯ll lose all the advantages we¡¯ve built up.


    Faced with everyone¡¯s doubts, the young team leader of the blue team also had some doubts in his heart.


    let¡¯s stick to our previous n. We¡¯ll use the ion cannons as cover too. You guys go straight into the red zone and engage in gueri warfare with them!


    He frowned, and after a moment, his eyes lit up.


    alright, I¡¯ll contact team two and ask them to cover with artillery.


    The liaison Officer immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and exined the current situation to team one and team two, as well as what they needed to pay attention to in the future.


    If the members of team one could sessfully enter the red zone before the red team soldiers noticed them ¡­


    After that, they would be able to carry out the attack tactics smoothly.


    If they were discovered, they would rely on the terrain to engage in gueri warfare.


    No matter what, he could catch the other party off guard.


    With themunication from the liaison Officer, the n was immediately carried out step by step.


    The two cannoneers of group two immediately adjusted the parameters of the ion cannons and aimed at the red side, where there might be people.


    The two cannonballs exploded in the red zone at the same time.


    A faint red ion light reverberated and spread throughout the forest.


    It immediately attracted the attention of many soldiers in the red team.


    On the other side, the blue team¡¯s team one members quickly rushed out of the bushes and rushed towards the red team mountain range 50 meters away.


    In the red zone, the two Scouts hiding at the top of the mountain immediately discovered the traces of the blue team and were ready to report.


    However, at this moment, a change suddenly urred.


    A sniper bullet whizzed through the air and flew over the head of one of the scouts.


    ¡°Swish!¡±


    The two Scouts immediately fell to the ground and rolled to the other side of the slope to avoid the sniper¡¯s attack.


    Although the practice sniper rifle was not fatal, the special bullets wrapped in ions could still hit people ck and blue. If they were identally hit in the eyes or Adam¡¯s apple, they would still be in danger.


    Moreover, if he was hit on his clothes, the device on his chest would be activated immediately.


    The sudden interference caused them to be unable to ry the information to their other team members.


    By the time they rolled to the back of the slope, the blue team¡¯s first team had already covered half the distance and was about to enter the forest.


    At this moment, the remaining members of the red team finally received the news that the blue team was about tounch an attack on the camp.


    However, the blue team¡¯s snipers and soldiers had all picked up their weapons and were shooting at the red team. The ion cannons were like fireworks. In the blink of an eye, eight shots had been fired.


    They were suppressed to the point of breathlessness and could only hide everywhere.


    The red team¡¯s sniper didn¡¯t dare to act rashly.


    They were afraid that the ion Cannon would fall from the sky the next second.


    In the end, they could only watch helplessly as the blue team¡¯s seven yers entered the forest in the red zone.


    It was not until this moment that the overwhelming gunshots and cannons finally stopped.


    The entire area fell into a strange silence.


    Even the people in themand room who were watching the surveince footage on the big screen were shocked.


    the captain of the Blue Zone is indeed not an ordinary person. He actually dared to take the lead in this emergency situation.


    using artillery fire to suppress the enemy and let our team sessfully enter the enemy¡¯s territory. This n was executed beautifully.


    now, we¡¯ll have to see how the red team will deal with it. Will they return to the camp to defend or intercept the other party halfway? it¡¯s estimated that a big battle will break out between the two teams very soon.


    The people sitting in the VIP seats began to discuss the order given by the blue team¡¯s captain.


    Most of them felt that it was a brilliant move for the blue team¡¯s captain to give the order to the West Camp at this time.


    This way, the red zone yers would not only have to face the Blue Zone team, which was only 500 meters away from them, but they would also have to face the Blue Zone team.


    They also had to worry about the safety of the camp. If the supplies and other resources were all destroyed, there would be no possibility of aeback.


    The members of team one in the Blue Zone were all very strong and were the elites of the entire team.


    The people in the red zone would definitely be exhausted from dealing with it, and they would reveal even bigger ws.


    ¡°There¡¯s a good show to watch now. Victory or defeat will be decided in one move.¡±


    ¡°The Blue Zone¡¯s leader is so young, but he was able to give the order to attack at the critical moment. The members were also able to execute it without any hesitation. It seems like the result of this battle is about to be revealed.¡±


    The two arms ministers sitting next to Wu mo said with a smile.


    Their words clearly stated that the red zone was in a dangerous situation.


    If they did not handle it well, the exercise would end early.


    Wu mo also felt that the blue team was going to win this time.


    Although the two sides had fought for more than an hour, they had only lost one member each.


    However, the red team was already showing signs of decline and were about to lose.


    <strong></strong>

 Chapter 175 A Battle Of Wits And Courage Against The Air

    In themand room, the people sitting in their seats whispered to each other andmented on the two teams in advance.


    On the other hand, the members of the red team in the exercise area were all nervous and hesitant.


    "Captain Shen Qing, what should we do now?"


    "The scout just said that he was attacked by a sniper, which dyed the military intelligence."


    "The blue team''s team one has entered the red zone. They''re less than a kilometer away from us. We still have time to intercept them. Captain, please give the order!"


    In the dense forest where the red team''s first group was hiding, the six members were currently looking anxiously at Shen Qing, hoping that the captain would give them a good solution.


    Everyone''s eyes gathered and suddenly found that Shen Qing''s forehead was exuding ayer of fine sweat.


    It seemed that the captain was also a little nervous at the moment.


    "Ahem, ahem, don''t panic."


    Shen Qing wiped the sweat from her forehead and continued,"Team one, follow me. Team two, gather in my direction immediately. Let''s catch a turtle in a jar."


    At this point, a cold glint shed in his eyes as he said fiercely, " as for the other members of the blue team behind us, don''t worry about them for now. We''ll deal with them after we''ve dealt with those small fries.


    When Captain Shen Qing''s words came out, the other six people in the group immediately showed a surprised expression.


    Under such circumstances, they had thought that their Captain would order them to return to the camp immediately.


    Unexpectedly, the captain''s n was to directly face the blue team head on and eliminate them in the shortest time possible.


    One had to say that this n was really too risky, but previously Captain Shen Qing had also given a simr risky order. Previously, he aimlessly fired a few ion cannons and directly caused one of the blue team''s snipers to be eliminated.


    Therefore, even though everyone felt that it was inappropriate, they did not voice out their objections.


    They immediately packed up their equipment and marched through the forest.


    ? At the same time, he contacted the scouts through the walkie-talkie and asked them to keep an eye on the left side of the red zone and try to find the seven members of Team Blue one who were deep in the red zone!


    On the other side, the remaining three snipers and other members of the blue team saw that there was no movement from the red zone and could not help but guess what the other party would do.


    let''s not worry about that for now. Other than the scouts, have the rest of the people wait at the edge of the Blue Zone. Be ready to invade the red zone at any time.


    The blue team''s leader immediately gave the order. The snipers hiding in the corners immediately rolled to their feet and gathered with the rest of the team members.


    Other than the scouts who were in charge of the camp, the rest of the people headed towards the edge of the desert.


    They were carrying a lot of individual equipment. Two ion cannons were carried by four soldiers and they were almost flying.


    The weakest of the two groups of soldiers was a four star xiuzhe. Their bodies were strong and could almost lift a thousand Jin cauldron. Lifting the ion Cannon was naturally not a problem.


    The blue team was shuttling through the dense forest at high speed.


    As for the red team''s Scout, he was still a little worried because he was almost hit by the blue team''s sniper earlier and did not dare to show his face.


    As a result, the blue team members who were sprinting in the dense forest were not discovered at first.


    In the exercise area, the battle situation changed rapidly.


    The remaining yers in the Blue Zone were all hiding in the bushes near the desert.


    Meanwhile, team one, who was at the forefront, was now constantly venturing deeper into the mountains, nning to find the red team''s camp hidden in the mountains.


    Their mission was to destroy all the equipment in the red zone, and then eliminate the remaining members of the red zone.


    However, the red zone didn''t sit still and wait for death. They immediately organized a counterattack.


    At this moment, there were only two people left in the campsite. They were disguising the campsite as fast as they could so that they would not be discovered by the enemies!


    On the other side, a group of red zone members was rushing towards the camp.<sub> </sub>


    Like a sharp knife, they were ready to cut off the path of the Blue Zone team one.


    The speed of the two parties increased, and at the same time, they were getting closer and closer.


    Now, everyone was extremely nervous. They were on full alert, constantly looking for hidden threats.


    This encounter with the red and blue team one would definitely affect the oue of this exercise. No one wanted to be the cause of the failure, so they all brought out their best state.


    "Si si."


    All of a sudden, a rustling sound could be heard, as if someone nearby was slowly moving in their direction.


    The sound of shrubbery scraping against clothes was the source of the strange sound.


    When they noticed that there might be people nearby, the seven people in the Blue Zone suddenly became serious.


    At this moment, their bodies were hunched over, and they were hiding in the weeds that were half the height of a person.


    His body was like a statue, not daring to move at all.


    The rustling sounds around them were getting closer and closer.


    It seemed to be 40 degrees to the North.


    Everyone perked up their ears and listened carefully to the sound.


    The people not far away from each other exchanged nces and found that each other''s index fingers on the trigger were slightly pressed down, showing an extremely nervous mood.


    "Crack crack."


    The dead branches on the ground were broken, which made everyone''s heartstrings even more tense.


    However, this did send them a message. It was likely that there was only one enemy member walking towards them. It should be a sniper from the blue team who was looking for the best hiding spot.


    The thought of being able to kill a member of the red team ahead of time made them extremely excited.


    Especially the leader of team one. He had already picked up a semi-automatic rifle. As long as the other party revealed half of his body, he would immediately eliminate him.


    Suddenly, in the bushes not far from them, the originally leisurely footsteps suddenly became hurried.


    "Oh no, could it be that someone has been exposed?"


    He thought of the red team''s sniper, who had probably discovered the ambush ahead and ran back.


    He was anxious and immediately climbed out of the Bush.


    He raised his gun, subconsciously estimated the enemy''s position, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.


    "Bang!"


    The sound of the gun instantly broke the silence around them. The sound echoed in the sky above the forest, startling some unknown birds.


    The remaining footsteps instantly panicked. Just when the leader of the first team thought he had hit the target ...


    Not far away, a silver hedgehog scuttled out and ran into the distance in a panic.


    Hearing that extremely familiar rustling sound, everyone was instantly petrified.


    "It seems like they were fighting with the air and were fooled by a Hedgehog?"


    Especially the team one leader, who was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a ce to hide.


    Not only did he waste his bullets, but he also exposed team one''s location. Even if they retreated now, the red team could estimate their approximate location and surround them.

 Chapter 176 - Prediction from the Cannoneer

    <h4>Chapter 176: Prediction from the Cannoneer</h4> <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong> Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion</h4>


    At this time, the other team members also thought about the consequences of this shot, and their faces suddenly changed.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± the leader said in a low voice.


    Then, everyone immediately moved to the north.


    At that moment, the sound of a sniper rifle was heard.


    The powder bullet coated with ions instantly traveled hundreds of meters and hit the team leader¡¯s arm.


    The white powder exploded, and the huge kic energy even made the group leader stagger.


    Pfft!


    The ion reactor on the team leader¡¯s chest was immediately activated. Thick smoke billowed out, indicating his elimination!


    All of this happened in a sh. It was only when they saw smokeing out of their leader¡¯s chest that the rest of the team members realized that their position had been exposed.


    ¡°Hurry! Run!¡±


    The pupils of the leader of the first group contracted. He did not expect to be eliminated so early.


    At the same time, he also realized that he had been shot by a sniper. It was equivalent to the entire team¡¯s field of vision beingpletely exposed to the sniper hiding in the dark.


    Furthermore, the rest of the blue team was already heading toward the edge of the desert. Without the sniper¡¯s restraint, the effect of the red team¡¯s sniper would be magnified infinitely.


    He roared, and the surrounding team members immediately reacted and scattered.


    The continuous gunshots that followed immediately verified his thoughts.


    At the ce where the rest of the team members had been standing, the soil had been blown into the air by the powder bullets used in the drill.


    ¡°D*mn it, the n that was so close topletion actually failed because of a hedgehog.¡±


    The leader of team one felt aggrieved. The rest of the team members were fleeing in all directions, and it was very likely that they would be caught by the red team members lying in ambush.


    His heart was filled with pain.


    However, at this moment.


    An Ion Cannon shot through hundreds of meters of desert. It smashed into the forest not far away from him, instantly bringing up a cloud of thick smoke.


    ¡°F * ck, awesome!¡±


    The gunner who saw Party B actually managed to determine the position of the red team¡¯s sniper with just a single gunshot.


    The leader of team one¡¯s eyes lit up.


    However, ording to the rules of the drill, he had already been eliminated and could only walk out of the area immediately. He had no chance of going to support his brothers.


    Even though he was a little disappointed, he was also happy for the Cannoneer¡¯s attack.


    ¡­.


    quick, get the cannon over here. This time, I¡¯m going to eliminate the Cannoneer who¡¯s causing trouble.


    In the depths of the forest, Shen Qing, the remaining team leader of the blue team¡¯s first team, who was originally prepared to give chase, started to curse for the first time.


    The red team had gained the upper hand twice in a row, but both times were pulled back by the enemy cannoneers.


    To Shen Qing, if this child was not eliminated, it would be difficult to dispel the hatred in her heart.


    The team members at the side immediately set up the ion Cannon. Shen Qing slid to the side of the ion Cannon and quickly adjusted the muzzle. She did not hesitate to press the button.


    After the opponent fired a shot, he would immediately adjust his position. The earlier he activated the prediction, the higher the probability of sess.


    That was why he looked so anxious.


    The cannon shot up into the sky and came crashing down.


    The pink light enveloped arge part of the forest, but there was no smoke.


    ¡°F * ck!¡±


    Shen Qing cursed in her heart. He had clearly adjusted the data but did not cause a kill. It could only be said that he had failed in this psychological battle.


    After the failed firing, they could only pick up the cannon again and rush back to the camp.


    On the other side of the blue team area, the team members had already arrived at the surrounding bushes.


    When he saw the red light Rising not far away, he immediately gave the Cannoneer Lin Zhe a thumbs up.


    ¡°I can¡¯t help but be impressed.¡±


    ¡°If we had retreated to the right, we would have been hit by the cannon.¡±


    ¡°I can tell that the red team¡¯s shot was a little emotional.¡±


    that goes without saying. Our team identally exposed our position and one of them was eliminated by their sniper after much difficulty. In the end, we were happy for less than two minutes before our brother Lin made us even.


    ¡°If I were to encounter this kind of thing, I would also be sullen.¡±


    Faced with everyone¡¯s praise, Lin Zhe smiled and shook his head. I¡¯m not as impressive as you say. I¡¯m just making a bold attempt based on the information I have.


    ¡°AI, you can¡¯t say that. If it was me, I might have been schemed against. I know Shen Qing very well but I can¡¯t do it to this extent.¡±


    The captain of the blue team, Li Yi, said with a smile.


    He and Shen Qing had been dealing with each other for a few years.


    Not only had they been in the same military school, but they had also been good friends in private.


    But even so, he still could not figure out Shen Qing¡¯s character and thoughts.


    However, Lin Zhe, the Cannoneer, was able to read the other party¡¯s mind. This ability was not ordinary.


    ¡°Alright, ss monitor. Let¡¯s hurry up and set off. If we dy any longer, the remaining six members might be in danger.¡±


    Lin Zhe took out a maintenance cloth to wipe the ion Cannon and then said seriously.


    yeah, you¡¯re right. Let¡¯s set off now. The red team will definitely not let go of a group and turn around to attack us. Now is the best time to cross the desert!


    Li Yi stood up and immediately gave the order. The rest of the people followed him without hesitation.


    Half a minuteter, the five team members carried two ion cannons and set off directly into the desert.


    At this moment, most of the red team members were already retreating back to the camp.


    As for the snipers, they had exposed their positions by firing earlier and were now moving to other ces.


    This allowed the Blue Zone¡¯s second team to sessfully pass through the desert and directly enter the red zone.


    Only the two Scouts had seen the entire process.


    we can¡¯t stay here any longer. Almost all the people in the Blue Zone havee to our area. If we divide them up to investigate, we won¡¯t be able to win the battleter.


    One of the scouts said with an anxious expression.


    that¡¯s true. There¡¯s probably only one Scout left in the Blue Zone guarding the base camp. We can¡¯t just sit here and wait for death. Let¡¯s go!


    That person also felt that this was inappropriate, so he immediately agreed.


    The two of them hit it off immediately. They first informed the other members of the blue team through the walkie-talkie that the members of team two had entered the red zone.


    After that, he immediately called Captain Shen Qing and requested for an emergency dispatch.


    Captain Shen Qing immediately agreed and the two of them also went down the mountain range and met up in the direction of the first group.


    Now, both sides only had thirteen members left.


    The blue team left one person behind to defend the camp.


    On the red team¡¯s side, there were still three snipers adjusting their positions and preparing to intercept Team 2. The rest of the people joined Team 1 and formed a defense team. They would surround and attack Team Blue before Team 1 and Team 2 met up.


    At this moment, speed was extremely important in war.


    Whoever could make the first judgment would have a greater chance of winning.


    In the blue team¡¯s first group, those members who had scattered earlier due to the sniper¡¯s gunshot had already gathered together at this moment.

 Chapter 177 - Adversity

    <h4>Chapter 177: Adversity</h4> <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong> Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion</h4>


    They were now heading toward the center of the Red Zone at a high speed.


    Thanks to the spirit energy that they could rely on, their current speed had reached an astonishing ten seconds per meter.


    At the same time, each of them was carrying more than 10 kilograms of weight.


    From this, one could understand how big the gap was between cultivators and ordinary people.


    Of course, the red team¡¯s assault team was not slow either.


    If this continued, they would meet up in the area seven hundred meters to the right of the camp in five minutes.


    At that time, a fierce battle was inevitable.


    The exciting battle situation made everyone in themand room nervous.


    Although it seemed that the gap between the two sides was not big, the oue would be quickly determined in the battle five minutester.


    Would the red team¡¯s assault team finish off the blue team¡¯s team one in one fell swoop, or would the blue team¡¯s team two break through the sniper¡¯s interception and coordinate with team one from the inside and outside?


    The answer would be revealed in five minutes.


    At this moment, there was no sound of discussion around.


    Everyone was staring at the screen with full attention, afraid that they would miss the most exciting part of the entire exercise.


    Of course, Wu mo was the same.


    There were 16 cameras on the screen, and eight of them were red zone surveince images.


    There were also some drones flying through the jungle. Some of the images captured by the drones showed that the two groups of people were using spirit energy to drive their bodies to achieve a faster speed.


    At this moment, everyone¡¯s strength and realm, as well as their spear techniques, were the most important factors!


    In the blink of an eye, the team had covered a distance of several hundred meters, like two giant Dragons that could summon the wind and rain.


    On the tree, a few squirrels that were storing food looked at the figures shing below in a daze, thinking that they were hallucinating.


    ¡­.


    In the sky above the exercise area.


    This ce was enveloped in an atmosphere of impending war.


    The two teams were preparing for the final battle.


    On the red zone¡¯s Hignd, three snipers were hiding in the dark. They were constantly adjusting their angle in order to eliminate a few people the moment the blue team¡¯s second team arrived.


    Through the optical scope, their eyes were fixed on a certain area, waiting for their prey toe.


    However, on the other side, not long after the blue team¡¯s second team entered the red zone, they stopped.


    Captain Li, I have a feeling that the red team might have sent snipers to ambush us. Although we were not attacked when we passed through the desert area, the red team¡¯s Scouts must have discovered our location.


    As he spoke, Lin Zhe raised his head and looked at the mountain range not far away. if there are really snipers in the red team, where do you think they will be hiding? ¡±


    He turned around to look at the two people behind him.


    They were the three people who had previously served as snipers.


    However, one of them had already been eliminated.


    well, if I knew the location in advance, I would haveid in ambush at a high ce. There must be dense weeds around me to cover my body.


    One of the young men who was almost thirty years old said without hesitation.


    ¡°In that case, let¡¯s try our luck with a prize.¡±


    Lin Zhe said with a smile in his eyes.


    Li Yi frowned slightly. Xiao Lin, are you confident? ¡± Right now, our two ion cannons only have nine cannonballs left.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Captain. Even if I¡¯m not confident, I can at least give them a warning and make it difficult for them to continue their ambush.¡±


    He turned to look at the energy tank on the ion Cannon. besides, this kind of heavy thing won¡¯t be useful in an encounter battle.


    ¡°Rather than being forced to discard it and waste the energy on it, it¡¯s better to use it in advance.¡±


    After hearing Xiao Lin¡¯s exnation, Li Yi nodded slightly, tacitly agreeing to his actions.


    After all, Xiao Lin had made a huge contribution previously. He hadpleted the two eliminations by himself.


    No one was better than him at using cannonballs.


    After getting permission, Lin Zhe immediately pped his hands and came to the side of the ion Cannon.


    He slightly adjusted the muzzle and pointed at the few locations that the sniper had pointed out.


    ¡°Whether it can produce any effect will depend on our luck.¡±


    He smiled as hepared the distance, and the surrounding team members immediately became nervous.


    If Lin Zhe could eliminate one or two more people in this round of cannonballs, their battle would be much easier.


    ¡°Bang! Bang!¡±


    Lin Zhe pressed the button, and the ion Cannon instantly gathered energy. The next moment, the Cannonball flew up instantly, and the recoil lifted up a piece of soil.


    At this moment, Lin Zhe adjusted the angle and distance again at an extremely fast speed and hurriedly fired a shot.


    The two shots caused the barrel of the ion Cannon to turn slightly red.


    When the surrounding team members saw this, they couldn¡¯t help but be speechless.


    Rapid firing required the cannoneers to have a high sense of distance and space. At such a distance, even a deviation of one degree could cause an error of tens of meters.


    Although he had fired the cannon this time, he couldn¡¯t just fire so casually.


    It was aplete waste!


    The two cannonballs flew through the air and set off a pink light hundreds of meters away.


    Everyone looked up.


    At this moment, he was surprised to find that there was a cloud of smoke rising in the distance.


    ¡°Damn, even this works!¡±


    Lin Zhe¡¯s move stunned the other four.


    These two shots did not discover the target at all. Just by relying on the sniper¡¯s intuition and personal prediction, they eliminated a sniper from hundreds of meters away.


    This was simply a cheat!


    At that moment, not to mention the three team members, even team leader Li Yi was starting to doubt his life.


    He originally thought that Lin Zhe was relying on these two shots to develop some psychological tactics. He didn¡¯t expect that he would actually have such achievements. This was simply a pleasant surprise.


    alright, the remaining snipers in the red team are probably frightened and have lost their ability to fight. Let¡¯s move quickly.


    Lin Zhe smiled slightly, not at all surprised. Instead, he urged the others to hurry.


    Everyone was shocked, but they didn¡¯t have time to feel emotional under such special circumstances. They all set off.


    This drill had simply be a one-man show for the blue team cannoneers.


    At this moment, the sniper hiding behind the Boulder in the distance still couldn¡¯t understand his operation and what the problem was.


    He hadn¡¯t even seen the members of the red team yet, but he had been eliminated by the other party¡¯s Ion Cannon. He was unwilling to ept this!


    However, there was nothing he could do now. He was already eliminated, and all he could do now was leave this battlefield as soon as possible.


    After all, he didn¡¯t even have the right to use the walkie-talkie to inform the captain.


    He could only leave the scene in disappointment.


    On the other side, the two teams immediately crossed paths!


    Only separated by a straight forest, the red and blue sides both discovered the existence of each other.


    The area where the battle was taking ce was only about 600 meters away from the red team¡¯s camp.


    Captain Shen Qing, who was leading the red team¡¯s assault team, discovered the enemy.


    <strong></strong>

 Chapter 178 Secret Weapon

    He immediately took out his semi-automatic rifle and swept it in the direction of the enemy.


    The remaining six people from the blue team didn''t expect to actually meet the Red team. Each and every one of them immediately used their spiritual power and retreated.


    He nned to first avoid the attack and hide before making any ns.


    Captain Shen Qing shot a burst of bullets, but because he opened fire in a hurry, all of them missed. The rest of the team members only reacted at this moment and took out their weapons one after another, surrounding and intercepting the blue team.


    Of the two, one ran and one chased. The six blue team members fought as they retreated, but the assault team''s trajectory was like arge.


    It kept tightening, narrowing the area they could move in.


    At the same time, as the gunshots rang out, the six members of the blue team not only had to run away as fast as they could, but they also had to Dodge the attacks from behind. This was not realistic at all.


    Not long after, two of them were hit by bullets. The moment the smoke rose, the remaining four people werepletely disheartened.


    They had already be turtles in a jar. Their escape routes had been cut off, and it was even more unrealistic to fight their way out.


    Just as the remaining four felt that they were going to bepletely defeated by the red team ...


    The sound of a cannon suddenly rang out.


    Everyone in the assault team was shocked. They were originally happy that two blue team members had been eliminated, but a burst of cannon firepletely woke them up.


    A pink ion light instantly engulfed the surrounding forest.


    The reactors on the chests of the three assault teams that were closer to the battlefield were instantly activated, and thick smoke filled the air.


    Seeing this scene, the rest of the people were also stunned.


    Three team members were eliminated in an instant. This was clearly the work of the blue team''s second team.


    They just couldn''t understand how these team two members could arrive in such a short time when there were three snipers helping to intercept them.


    However, there was no time for them to think.


    After Shen Qing saw such a scene, her eyes almost popped out.


    Of the three Red Team members that had been eliminated, one of them was a five star xiuzhe.


    In their entire team, there were only three people who had reached the five-star level.


    At this time, they had actually lost one person. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the red team.


    Originally, the red team had 13 members left, but after this cannon, only 10 were left.


    At present, one person was arranged to guard the camp, and the two Scouts had also been changed tobat personnel to meet up with them. As for the other two snipers, they had not been contacted so far.


    He was afraid that they had already been wiped out.


    In other words, there were only seven people who could directly participate in the battle!


    On the other hand, the four people from the blue team who were surrounded had already found cover. If they wanted to attack again, they would no longer agree as they had before.


    Inparison, their situation was much worse.


    They were attacked from both the front and back, and their advantage in numbers was gone. It was simply terrible to the extreme.


    Through the screen, seeing Captain Shen Qing''s slightly pale face, everyone in themand room could not help but feel sorry for the red team.


    it seems like this is really going to end. What a pity. I was one step behind.


    that''s right. There are enemies in front and behind them. They have nowhere to run now.


    it''s already very exciting. To be able to see two outstanding teams fight against each other, we''ve already achieved our goal of watching this, haven''t we? "


    "Although that''s what you say, if this battle ends just like that, it''ll still make people feel like it''s not enough."


    The surrounding people said one after another.


    Wu mo also felt that the blue team was going to win this time.


    The red team had lost because he had arranged for two people to be Scouts and four snipers at the same time. They wanted to urately kill the blue team''s soldiers.<sub> </sub>


    It was a pity that doing so would only disperse his own forces, giving the blue side an opportunity to take advantage of.


    Of course, the Cannoneer called Lin Zhe also yed a huge role in the blue team''s victory this time.


    He had been eliminated many times because of his psychological tactics and his strong sense of space. He was able to uratelynd the ion Cannon near the red team every time.


    He had eliminated four Red Team members by himself and could be considered the individual MVP of this exercise.


    Thinking of this, he couldn''t help but sigh in his heart. Even among those soldiers, there were still super strong talents.


    As long as one was able to Polish their abilities to the extreme in a certain field, they would still be able to disy their strength that would not lose to those experts.


    On the big screen, the second team from the South had arrived.


    Under the pincer attack, the red team''s main assault team lost two more people.


    As for the blue team, they were surrounded by four people in the center.


    One of them was hit in the arm because he couldn''t Dodge in time.


    They were also eliminated.


    At this moment, the battle situation had already be one-sided.


    Other than one person from the camp, there were only five people left in the red team.


    The blue team still had eight people left. Whether it was the number of people or the battle situation, the red team was already unable to hold on and was beaten to the point where they didn''t dare to take half a step out of their cover.


    Captain Shen, Yingluo, what should we do now? "


    One of the team members came to the reverse slope in a panic and said in a hesitant tone.


    The few people around him were already in a sorry state.


    In order to avoid the attacks, they had fled in a panic.


    Now, not only were they disheveled, but their faces were also covered in dirt.


    And his physical strength was almost at its limit.


    Facing the ck muzzles, they didn''t even dare to show their heads, for fear that the sma devices on their chests would be activated the next second and they would be eliminated.


    "Damn it, let''s just rush out and fight them to the death!"


    that''s right, he''s such a bully. I''ve been in the Army for so long, but I''ve never been treated like this!


    The remaining soldiers were all furious and wanted to rush out immediately and fight to the death with them.


    After all, even if he stayed here, he would still be eliminated. He might as well be a man and be glorious in defeat.


    "Cut the crap and give me my bag. We haven''t lost yet!"


    Shen Qing angrily shouted and immediately interrupted the words of the surrounding team members.


    The four soldiers "faces turned red and finally turned into wilting eggnts under Shen Qing''s gaze.


    One of them opened the bag on his back and passed it to the captain, Shen Qing.


    "Captain, why do you want a bag at this time?"


    The team member who handed over the bag asked curiously. He knew that he might be reprimanded for saying this, but he still couldn''t resist the doubts in his heart.


    Under such circumstances, the ion cannons were no longer of any use. The reason why they had kept them was because they were afraid that they would be snatched away.


    "Don''t be so noisy, I have a secret weapon."


    As Captain Shen Qing spoke, she immediately opened the zipper of her bag and took out a camouged shirt.


    The camouge suit was very light and looked simr to the overalls that cost 99 Yuan on shopping websites.


    But Captain Shen Qing''s attitude towards this dress was very serious and careful. He took it out very carefully, afraid that it would be damaged.

 Chapter 179 - Invisibility, Stunning Everyone!

    <h4>Chapter 179: Invisibility, Stunning Everyone!</h4> <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong> Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion</h4>


    ¡°What¡¯s the use of this thing? Isn¡¯t it just a piece of torn clothing?¡± the person at the side immediately asked in doubt.


    In such an emergency, even having Epic-grade individual equipment would be difficult to turn the tide of the battle.


    The people around him were a little dumbfounded. At this moment, even the leaders and distinguished guests in themand room outside who were watching the game had the same puzzled expression.


    They could not understand what kind of change this ordinary piece of equipment could bring to the red team.


    However, some of them had a slight change in expression.


    Among them were the two arms ministers and Wu Mo, who was sitting in the middle of the first row.


    Wu Mo was very confused. How did the Invisibility Armor he designed end up in the hands of the red team¡¯s captain?


    When he first made it, he had only made one invisible armor. After all, the materials for the wings of the dim light butterfly were too difficult to obtain.


    It took him almost a week to find the materials to make an Invisibility Armor.


    However, he was very sure that the Invisibility Armor in front of him was the one he had designed. Even the ws on the surface of the armor were exactly the same.


    For example, there were some problems with the joint connection of the first version of the invisible armor, and the appearance was too ordinary without consideration. More importantly, there were some problems with the original design data, which made it difficult for people who were slightly fat to wear it.


    The Invisibility Armor that appeared in Captain Shen Qing¡¯s hands was obviously the same as his first version.


    It was very likely that a master cksmith had replicated a piece ording to the data on the project.


    In order to avoid the difference in the data of the armor, the cksmith master even copied these ws.


    In the end, the first version of the invisible battle armor was finally in Shen Qing¡¯s hands.


    Thinking of this, Wu mo suddenly came to a realization. He didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry. He didn¡¯t expect that the equipment he made would be used in thebat exercise.


    However, there was still a doubt in his mind. In this battle situation, even if he used the armor that he had cast, it would be very difficult to turn the tide.


    Just as he was thinking, from the monitoring screen, the voices of Shen Qing and the surrounding team members were heard.


    ¡°I n to use this equipment to carry out a decapitation operation. First, we will destroy the enemy¡¯s Ion Cannon, then eliminate the blue team¡¯s five star cultivators. Finally, we will destroy the enemy camp andplete a counterattack!¡±


    In the image, Captain Shen Qing said with a serious look.


    The surrounding team members were dumbfounded, and most of the audience in themand room were also confused.


    ¡°This person called Shen Qing, I¡¯m afraid that she is hallucinating from fear. She actually vowed to use a piece of torn clothes toplete her counterattack. This is simply a dream.¡±


    that¡¯s right. Under the current circumstances, he¡¯s almost certain to lose. I think it¡¯s better to just admit defeat. This way, it won¡¯t waste everyone¡¯s time.


    sigh, it looks like this battle is about to end. If they don¡¯t go out now, they might just be annihted by the cannon.


    Most of the people in themand room felt that this was outrageous.


    In such a situation, even a Gatling gun might not be able to turn the tables, let alone a piece of clothing.


    However, the two ministers only smiled and didn¡¯t talk. They only asionally nced at Wu mo, waiting to see his reaction.


    When they saw Wu Mo¡¯s confused look, they couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    ¡­.


    In the hintend of the red team within the exercise area.


    The few remaining assault team members who were hiding behind the hillside all looked at Captain Shen Qing with puzzled eyes at this moment.


    brother Shen, are you alright? what is this thing? isn¡¯t it nonsense to talk about a decapitation strike? ¡±


    ¡°Do any of you recognize this thing?¡±


    The team member who spoke looked at the people around him. They all shook their heads, indicating that they didn¡¯t recognize this thing. On the surface, it looked like a work suit and there was nothing special.


    that¡¯s right. This thing is useless. Instead of counting on it, it¡¯s better to go out and fight the blue team to the end. Even if they¡¯re eliminated, it¡¯s still glorious!


    The remaining few people did not agree with Captain Shen Qing¡¯s words.


    He felt that this thing was useless.


    But Shen Qing did not intend to exin to them at all.


    ¡°Let¡¯s not argue. We¡¯ll see if it¡¯s effective or not.¡±


    After saying that, he immediately unfolded the camouge suit that looked like work clothes.


    Then, he put it on with some difficulty.


    At this moment, in the distance, the eight members of the blue team had formed a semi-circr formation. Step by step, they surrounded the slope on this side.


    Their formation was wide open, so even if the red teamunched a counterattack at thest minute, they would only hurt one person at most.


    at the same time, shen qing had finally finished putting on the equipment.


    After that, he squatted down and removed the ion reactor from the chest area of his special demonstration uniform. He then installed it on his new uniform.


    after experiencing the lightness andfort of the clothing, he was even more convinced that it could help the red team avert danger.


    listen up, I¡¯ll rush up in a minute. You guys can follow me in a minute. If you don¡¯t want to lose to those bastards, do as I say.


    Shen Qing burst out with vulgarities and then patted her chest in front of everyone.


    In the next moment, the dark light wings that were attached to the surface of the invisible armor were instantly shifted by an external force.


    and captain shen qing, who was being stared at by the four people, instantly disappeared from the spot.


    ¡°??¡±


    In an instant, everyone looked at the open space with a dumbfounded look and discovered that there was only a footprint left at the ce where Captain Shen Qing was standing.


    After sensing that Captain Shen Qing had really disappeared, everyone¡¯s pupils suddenly contracted.


    They were somewhat in disbelief and their minds were like thunder on a sunny day. They simply could not understand why Captain Shen Qing suddenly disappeared.


    Especially the soldiers who were the most against the idea, their eyes were almost popping out.


    ¡°There¡¯s still this kind of operation!¡±


    ¡°No, Captain, where are you?¡±


    The two people at the side immediately panicked, not knowing what had happened.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be so noisy. If we¡¯re discovered, our n will be ruined.¡±


    At this moment, a deliberately lowered voice came from the air.


    That was clearly Captain Shen Qing¡¯s voice.


    ¡°F*ck, there¡¯s a cheat!¡±


    ¡°Captain, why are you invisible?¡±


    The two of them were instantly dumbstruck.


    At this moment, another team member finally reacted and said in a trembling voice.


    I¡¯ve been hearing people say that they¡¯ve developed an invisibility device. I thought it was just a rumor and only a fool would believe it.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect this thing to actually be real.¡±


    He subconsciously reached out to touch it but identally touched Captain Shen Qing¡¯s calf.


    Due to the interference of external forces, the angle of the dark light wings was not right and Shen Qing¡¯s lower leg immediately revealed her figure.


    ¡°Don¡¯t touch it. The Minister gave it to me. If you break it, you won¡¯t be able to pay for it even if you sell yourself.¡±

 Chapter 180 External Cheat Effect, Turning Defeat Into Victory!

    Captain Shen Qing''s shout made the surrounding four people suddenly recover.


    "Tsk, tsk, tsk. Say, Captain Shen Qing, when did such a magical thing appear in our army?"


    "That''s right. Why didn''t you tell me about this? I don''t even know about it!"


    "With this thing, wouldn''t we be killing indiscriminately? Those people are very arrogant now, and they don''t put us in their eyes at all. It''s time to give them a head-on blow."


    The team members excitedly expressed their opinions. Some were shocked, some were happy, and one was puzzled about the principle behind the invisibility of the armor.


    In any case, they had already epted this matter.


    "Do as I say. We''ll start in a minute."


    Shen Qing threw down these words and turned around to rush out of the slope.


    The wings on her clothes adjusted in real-time ording to the changes in the angle of the surrounding light, so that Captain Shen Qing waspletely hidden in the air.


    The surrounding people immediately quieted down and hid in ce ording to the captain''s instructions. As they recovered, they counted in their hearts.


    At this moment, on the other side, the blue team''s people formed a half-moon shape and outnked this side.


    They were only 150 meters away from the slope they were hiding on.


    search carefully. The other edges of this mountain range are at a right angle of more than 60 degrees. Other than hiding in this area, there''s no ce for them to go.


    The blue team''s leader, Li Yi, immediately said. The people around them raised their guns and focused, searching bit by bit.


    Now, the red team only had five members and an Ion Cannon left. There was no room for resistance at all. As long as they could find their shelter, even if the other party attacked first, they would still be able to easily win.


    The faces of the people around him were filled with the joy of victory. They were excited. If they could win this exercise, their teams would definitely be rewarded.


    At that time, the team members would also get a lot of benefits.


    They had been looking forward to the test qualifications for thetest weapons and even the quota for new individual equipment for a long time.


    They did not notice that Shen Qing, who was wearing the invisible armor, had already arrived near the team.


    Captain Shen Qing took out her sword and directly stabbed at the blue team''s member who was pulling the ion Cannon.


    Thetter''s chest had been pierced. Although the short knife that was used in the drill did not cause any actual damage, it had directly triggered the ion detector. A thick smoke rose, indicating that this blue team member was instantly eliminated.


    The young man who was stabbed only felt a shadow appear in front of him. The next moment, the device on his chest was activated. He did not even know why he was eliminated!


    This entire process happened in a sh and by the time the surrounding people reacted, Shen Qing had already touched the other party''s Ion Cannon.


    He quickly adjusted the muzzle of the cannon, and in the next moment, he pressed the trigger button directly at the blue team''s captain, Li Yi.


    The pupils of the surrounding blue team members contracted.


    In their eyes, the ion Cannon on the ground hadpletely changed its position and pressed the button automatically. All of this was extremely strange.


    "Captain, be careful!"


    The surrounding blue team members subconsciously shouted out. However, at this moment, the light from the pink Ion Cannon had already appeared.


    With the speed of an arrow, it headed in the direction of the blue team''s captain, Li Yi.


    Moreover, the ion Cannon was an area-of-effect attack. Even if Li Yi dodged to the side, he would still be hit.


    Thetter only managed to react after being reminded by the other team members. He subconsciously wanted to Dodge, but the light had already arrived in front of him and exploded with a bang.


    Along with the sound of the cannon, the sky was filled with pink light.


    The blue team''s leader, Li Yi, who was in the middle of the Cannonball''s range, had the ion generator on his chest activated instantly, and arge amount of blue smoke spewed out.


    The few team members standing around him were not spared either.


    The concentration of ions around them did not reach the effect of activating the device immediately.<sub> </sub>


    However, during the battle with the red team members, the ion detector on his chest had already umted a lot of energy.


    It was equivalent to finishing off the blue team while being seriously injured.


    At this moment, the ion energy that spread over arge area was like thest bundle of grass that crushed the camel.


    The devices on the chests of the people around him were instantly activated.


    In the blink of an eye, the blue team had lost three members because of the previous shot.


    The number of remaining team members that could participate in thepetition was directly equal to the red team.


    The most fatal thing was that the male team''s leader, Li Yi, had been eliminated by the ion Cannon, while the red team''s leader was still on the battlefield.


    This was the biggest difference.


    However, what shocked the blue team members the most was that there was no one around the ion cannons, yet the cannonballs suddenly fired off as if they were out of control.


    Especially the Cannoneer Lin Zhe, his eyes were wide open at this moment. He couldn''t figure out why this had happened.


    At this moment, at the foot of the slope in the distance, the red team''s member had finished counting down to 60 seconds. He immediately rushed up the slope with a determination to die.


    After seeing the blue team members who were dumbstruck.


    They immediately raised their rifles and fired at the enemies a hundred meters away.


    Continuous gunshots were heard.


    Red mist started to rise from the chest devices of the three blue team members.


    The pitiful Red Team members were eliminated before they could even figure out the situation.


    The remaining two team members immediately reacted and quickly looked for a ce to hide.


    But it was toote.


    Shen Qing, who was hiding in the dark, rushed up with a dagger.


    Relying on the body of a five star xiuzhe, he quickly got close to one of the members of Team Red.


    The knife directly stabbed into the back of the other party''s heart.


    The core area hase into contact with a dagger specially used for exercises. Lethal damage check in effect.


    The device was immediately activated.


    The red team member''s eyes widened. He seemed to see a tall man standing behind him, but the figure in front of him disappeared in the next moment. It was like an illusion.


    "F * ck, there''s a ghost!"


    He jumped up in shock, ignoring the device on his chest that was smoking, and ran away desperately.


    The blue team''s remaining Cannoneer, Lin Zhe, did not evenst two minutes after being chased by the four Red Team members. He was immediately shot in the shoulder by a semi-automatic rifle.


    The man''s facial muscles twitched as he watched the endless mist in his chest. It was hard to imagine how the red team managed to turn the tables within two minutes after the blue team had already gained such a huge advantage.


    What was the reason behind the misfiring of the ion Cannon?


    If he couldn''t find out the truth, he wouldn''t be able to take this lying down.


    At this time, there were still six people left on the blue team. Under the circumstances of not suffering any losses, the entire blue team had been wiped out, leaving only one member. At this moment, he was still guarding the camp, constantly contacting the other members through the walkie-talkie.


    Captain Li Yi, my team members, where are you? can you say something? "


    Hearing the voice from the walkie-talkie on his waist, Li Yi felt like he was being mocked.

 Chapter 181 The Exercise Is Over, But Im Not Done Yet

    He felt all the energy in his body being sucked away, and even his breathing became heavy.


    "Stop shouting, we''ve lost!" he took out his walkie-talkie and said in a despairing voice.


    On the other end of the walkie-talkie, the Scout was shocked by the sudden voice.


    At the same time, he was also surprised as to why Captain Li Yi would say such dejected words.


    Did the not blue team gain a huge advantage?


    Furthermore, they had already forced the red team members to the bottom of the slope.


    They were about to win thepetition, so why did he suddenly say he lost?


    The scout was confused.


    At this moment, Shen Qing, who was standing in front of Li Yi, immediately pped his wings.


    In the next moment, the wings immediately returned to their t state.


    His entire figure waspletely revealed to everyone.


    Shen Qing smiled and then ignored Li Yi. He looked as if he had seen a ghost.


    He reached out and grabbed the walkie-talkie from his hand.


    "You''ve already lost. Even your Captain Li Yi has been eliminated. Hurry up and admit defeat. Don''t waste any more time."


    Shen Qing''s voice was calm but to those eliminated blue team members.


    However, he spoke with a proud tone.


    They were unable to face this reality and at the same time they were shocked by Shen Qing who suddenly appeared in front of them.


    Why was the red team''s captain able to be invisible?


    What kind of equipment was that? how could it be so heaven-defying?


    "Ah? Yingluo, are you joking with me?"


    The Scout on the other end of the walkie-talkie said with a doubtful tone.


    But at this time, Shen Qing was toozy to exin to the other party and nned to let the military g leaders handle it.


    He walked with cheerful steps and immediately walked towards the other surviving members.


    The crowd hugged each other excitedly.


    The current situation could be said to be a chance at survival for them.


    They had clearly been forced to the corner of the slope by the blue team, but in the end, they had relied on a piece of clothing that hade out of nowhere to obtain victory.


    The transition between heaven and hell made their hearts beat faster, and their faces turned red with excitement.


    "Captain Shen Qing is awesome! I''m a good-for-nothing!"


    The students who previously doubted Captain Shen Qing''s ability immediately shouted.


    the beheading was a sess! We''ve won!!


    this invisibility cloak is too powerful. I''m going to be awesome.


    The team members immediately picked up Captain Shen Qing and the cheers continued.


    The invisibility cloak that had changed their fate was immediately stored in their backpacks by the team members.


    On the mountain peak.


    Compared to the red team, which was filled with cheers andughter, the blue team members who had been eliminated all had expressions that were uglier than eating sh * t.


    It was like ying poker, where he was clearly nning and using all kinds of psychological tactics.


    The two of them coulde up with 800 tricks, but in the end, when they yed four 2s and two kings to decide the winner, the other side suddenly flipped the table over.


    It was simply a dimension-lowering attack.


    If the invisibility cloak was used on the battlefield, they would only be smiling from ear to ear. However, using it in a mock battle waspletely bullying.


    At this moment, they could already feel the malicious intent of the leaders in charge of the exercise management.


    This feeling, how to put it, was worse than stepping on dog shit.<sub> </sub>


    On the other side, in the blue team''s hintends, the scouts who were still guarding the camp had already started to doubt their lives.


    He didn''t believe that this would happen. After all, it was already eight against five.


    Even if the team members had made a mistake, they wouldn''t have faced such a result.


    However, the drone hovering in the airpletely destroyed hisst hope.


    I''m now informing you that the mock battle has ended. The red team has obtained the final victory. All participants, please gather at the square outside the mock battle.


    The Scout''s mouth twitched as he looked at the drone that was constantly broadcasting.


    On the other side, the same notification scene yed out in the red team''s camp.


    However, unlike the blue team, after receiving the same message, the red team''s Scout simply smiled like a flower and packed his things with an excited face.


    As the exercise ended, the relevant personnel immediately evacuated from the area.


    The blue team members were all dejected and depressed.


    Not far away, the members of the red team who were going down the mountain were still talking about what had happened.


    "Captain Shen Qing, just tell me, where did you get this magical invisibility cloak? I also want to get one."


    The soldier carrying the rifle said excitedly.


    But Captain Shen Qing''s reply instantly shattered his imagination.


    give up. This invisibility cloak is a piece of equipment used for testing by the military department. Neither you nor I have the right to use it.


    Oh, that''s a pity. If we could have an invisibility cloak each, it would be too easy to fight. We might be able to crush an entire Army by ourselves.


    ....


    On the screen, the red team soldiers were excitedly praising the effects of the invisible armor.


    Wu mo, who was sitting in the middle of the first row, smiled without saying anything.


    At this moment, the entiremand room was very lively because of the sudden appearance of the invisible armor.


    They had a heated discussion about the areas where the invisible armor could be used in the future.


    Of course, there were also spections. They were all guessing which Big Boss in the military Region had made this amazing equipment.


    However, the two ministers knew that they would never understand even if they racked their brains.


    The master who made the invisible armor was sitting in the samemand room with them. He was a graduate student in his early twenties.


    Even Minister Zheng Shaowei felt that it was unbelievable when he first heard about this.


    Not to mention those guests who didn''t know much about forging.


    all right, distinguished guests and friends, this exercise hase to an end. Everyone can move to the guest hall. We will have to excuse ourselves.


    Ren bin, the toon leader, said with a smile.


    Of course, he was also involved in the operation of the invisible armor, but he didn''t expect it to have such a great effect.


    He had been shocked earlier.


    After he said that, the rest of the people in themand room all looked like they wanted more.


    They all headed out of themand room.


    Just as Wu mo was about to get up,panymander Zhang pulled him back.


    "Do you also want to leave? Don''t you want to hear Shen Qing''s feelings as the first user in actualbat?"


    Companymander Zhang''s words immediately aroused Wu Mo''s anticipation.


    Although he knew that the invisible armor was breathable andfortable, he had never let anyone test it.


    In some aspects, he could not decide. If he could listen to some other people''s opinions, it might be of some help to the mass production.


    Thinking of this, he immediately nodded. I''ll follow your arrangements,panymander Zhang.


    Thetter chuckled and nodded, and the two department heads immediately stood up and prepared to walk towards the square.

 Chapter 182 Review After The Exercise

    The end of the exercise also meant that the observation trip was basically over.


    Most of the leaders and distinguished guests had gone to the reception hall in preparation to leave.


    Wu Mo was, of course, not among them.


    At this moment, Wu Mo followed Company Commander Zhang, <anno data-annotation-id="ae18c3e5-4578-939e-0784-3db1f4a5d20e">toon Commander Ren Bin</anno>, and the two Arms Departmentmanders to the military selection square.


    As soon as he arrived at the square, he saw 30 soldiers and rted staff gathered there.


    Many people were also heading to the exercise area, as well as the temporary camp, to deal with the supplies that had not been taken away. Once all that was taken care of, they would be able to wee the next exercise in a few months.


    Wu Mo saw that the members of the red and blue teams were still discussing the Invisibility Armor on their way.


    However, when the twomanders and thepanymander approached, they all obediently shut their mouths.


    Looking at the soldiers who stood straight, the twomanders nodded.


    "Hello, everyone. I''m Zhang Jianfeng, themander of the firstpany. I witnessed thebat exercise between your two teams earlier. The whole process was exhilirating, and the leaders of both teams did a good job too. Next, I''ll check on a few soldiers to hear what thoughts both teams may have. "


    Company Commander Zhang approached the 30 soldiers and spoke in a loud voice.


    No one spoke, but it was obvious that many of them had looks of disbelief in their eyes.


    There seemed to be quite a bit of murmuring.


    "Well... From the blue team, Lin Zhe, Li Yi, Zhu Xuan, you threee up.


    "From the red team, Shen Qing, Guan Mu, and Lin Ping. The three of you,e up and express your views and thoughts on this exercise."


    The six people whose names had been called stepped forward.


    Company Commander Zhang walked to the side and gave them the floor.


    Right then, the three from the red team were smiling proudly.


    As for the three people from the blue team, their expressions were somewhat unsightly. There was also a trace of indignance at the same time.


    "Let''s talk about your views on this exercise. Let''s start with the blue team," Company Commander Zhang said immediately when he saw the six of them look at each other and not say a thing.


    "Oh, thank you, Company Commander."


    Li Yi nodded and responded in front of the crowd.


    "We can''t ept it. The exercise was unfair. Why did the red team get such good equipment?"


    Li Yi''s words immediately triggered the remaining two individual''s anger, especially Lin Zhe''s. He had clearly gained the advantage with great difficulty, but a piece of clothingpletely turned things around. No one could ept it.


    "I''m not satisfied either. Those guys from the red team are basically cheating. What''s the point of winning with just a piece of clothing? If it weren''t for that thing, we would be the winners now."


    Lin Zhe''s words caused a thousand ripples that spurred the blue team members to speak up one after another.


    "Right! It''s not fair at all."


    "If they''re capable, give one to each team. When the timees, we will definitely win."


    Company Commander Zhang did not get angry when he heard themotion. He just reached out slowly and brought his hand down slightly. The voices of the people before him instantly disappeared.


    Zhu Xuan saw Company Commander Zhang looking at him, so he quickly expressed his opinion.


    I have the same opinion as the captain and Lin Zhe regarding this exercise. I think it''s not a fair exercise. But I still want to know who invented the invisibility cloak.<sub> </sub>


    After listening to the three of them, the head of research and development, Zheng Shaowei, nodded with a smile.


    "Alright, I''ve taken note of your questions. Next, let''s let the red team speak."


    After Zheng Shaowei finished speaking, the three red team members who were standing at the side immediately grew interested.


    Captain Shen Qing spoke first. "A loss is a loss. There''s no need to find an excuse. The ability to be invisible is powerful, but if it falls into the hands of someone who doesn''t know how to use it, it still won''t turn the tide.


    "Besides, the power from equipment is still considered power. Your blue team has five five-star cultivators. Can''t you allow our red team to have a piece of trump card equipment?" the team captain said straightforwardly.


    His blunt words caused the expressions of the three blue team members to change slightly.


    After all, no one would look good if they were criticized in public.


    At this point, Shen Qing paused for a moment and looked at the young man standing at the side.


    "But that aside, Cannoneer Lin Zhe is quite powerful. When we were hiding at the bottom of the slope, we were worried that Cannoneer Lin Zhe would annihte us with one shot.


    "Alright, Commander Zheng, I''m done."


    "Okay, next."


    Commander Zheng waved his hand, signaling for the next person to speak.


    The young man named Guan Mu scratched his head and said with a somewhat embarrassed expression, "I feel that the blue team members are all really powerful. I was a sniper at a high vantage point, but I didn''t even see the enemy and got ''killed'' in one shot.


    "We won this time thanks to Captain Shen Qing''s strategy and the invisibility cloak''s power. I hope that there will be another opportunity to fight the blue team."


    Wu Mo was standing next to themander. He listened carefully to the soldiers'' words, trying to find some useful opinions.


    At this moment, it was Lin Ping''s turn to speak. The tall and thin Lin Ping was the one who followed Captain Shen Qing to the end.


    He had been disdainful of the Invisibility Armor before, thinking that it was useless, but the cloak ended up changing his mind.


    "I think this confrontation was very exciting. I haven''t been as nervous as I was today in a long time. If I''m given the opportunity, I''d also want to wear the invisibility cloak and fight."


    Soon, the six of them finished expressing their opinions, and the leaders chuckled.


    "Comrade Wu Mo, since they haven''t returned to their teams yet, do you have any questions to ask?" Department Head Chu Yi promptly asked.


    Wu Mo nodded immediately. After receiving permission, he walked forward and asked the six people, "I''d like to ask, if the red team didn''t have the Invisibility Armor''s help, would you be confident about winning?


    "If the military develops a new weapon in the future, what functions would you like the weapon toe with?"


    Wu Mo''s two questions were very suitable for the current situation because the main point of their discussion was the Invisibility Armor''s effect on the current battle situation.


    Therefore, when Wu Mo threw out his questions, the blue team''s leader, Li Yi, replied instantly.


    "I''m sure that without the invisibility cloak, the red team would have lost."


    When he said this, his expression was full of pride and certainty.


    "Why? That''s because, at that point, both teams had almost exhausted their resources. Moreover, the blue team was at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, and its members were surrounded by us. They could only hide at the bottom of the slope and stall for time.


    "As for why the invisibility cloak was so effective against the red team, I think it''s because, in theter stages, both sides had almost run out of ammunition, leaving only things like the ion cannons, which slowed our movements."

 Chapter 183 Leaving The Military Region

    Captain Li Yi frowned slightly as he analyzed the situation.


    The soldier beside him, Lin Zhe, felt indignant. After hearing the captain talk about the key issue, he immediately added, "Also, the invisibility cloak''s appearance wasn''t within our considerations at all. That''s why we were caught off guard.


    "If we''re given another chance, even if Captain Shen Qing wears the invisibility cloak, he won''t be able to deal us such a heavy blow."


    Lin Zhe clenched his fists, his face bing slightly red from excitement.


    "Besides, Captain Shen Qing wore an invisibility cloak and attacked me with a melee weapon. Actually, I had already discovered his presence at that time, but because I didn''t have a suitable weapon, I couldn''t block his attack at all and was hit.


    "It would be great if I could develop a lighter, nimbler, and less exposed melee weapon.


    "When that happens, we won''t have to be afraid even if an enemy wearing the invisibility cloak gets close to us. We can end the battle quickly."


    Wu Mo''s eyes lit up when he heard the words of the soldier named Zhu Xuan.


    He had been invited to observe thebat exercise in North China''s Third Military Region to understand the current soldiers and what kind of new weapons they needed.


    Now, he had gained some enlightenment after watching the exercise.


    With the addition of Zhu Xuan''s opinion, he had many ideas in his mind.


    What he needed to do now was find a quiet ce and realize these ideas one by one.


    He frowned slightly and began to think seriously, trying to find a weapon that met the above conditions.


    However, that was not the only thing he had to do.


    After asking the questions, Wu Mo asked Captain Shen Qing alone about the feeling of wearing the stealth armor.


    Thetter''s personality was more straightforward and he did not drag things out.


    After hearing Wu Mo''s question, he immediately told him everything he had experienced and felt.


    He thought Wu Mo was a reporter or amander''s subordinate and had never touched the Invisibility Armor before.


    Therefore, he never thought that the young man in front of him was the cksmith who made the Invisibility rmor.


    "I think this is a very magical piece of clothing. It''s very light, the surface is cold, and it''s veryfortable to wear. It''s also very breathable."


    "When I wear this, not only am I running fast, but I''m also fighting in closebat. However, I don''t even have a drop of sweat on me. I have to say that the master who made this armor is simply a master."


    Shen Qing spoke non-stop. His expression was excited, and he was dancing as if he was sharing a wonderful experience with Wu Mo.


    When Wu Mo heard Shen Qing praise the Invisibility Armor, he was secretly pleased.


    He thought in his heart, ''Once the improvement of the Invisibility Armor ispleted and it''s sessfully mass-produced, if I let Shen Qing try on the second-generation Invisibility Armor, wouldn''t he fly?''


    However, these were just his inner thoughts. On the surface, his expression was still calm. As he nodded to himself, he took out his phone and took notes with a serious look.


    "Alright, the mock battle ends here. All soldiers, please return to your troops immediately.


    toon Commander Ren Bin immediately shouted. The soldiers standing on the field immediately stood in their military positions.


    Shen Qing waved goodbye to Wu Mo and returned to his team.


    As for Wu Mo, he looked at Shen Qing''s departing figure, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile.


    "What an interesting person. I hope we can meet again next time," he muttered.<sub> </sub>


    The next moment, the twomanders and Company Commander Zhang immediately walked toward him.


    Wu Mo quickly hid the smile on his face and became serious.


    "Congrattions, leaders. The exercise went on without a hitch."


    "Haha, the sess of this exercise is all thanks to Wu Mo''s Invisibility Armor. Not only did it broaden the soldiers'' horizons, but it also proved the invisibility cloak''s effects on the battlefield."


    Zheng Shaohui, the head of the R&D Department, instantly stepped forward, held Wu Mo''s hand, and spoke with a smile.


    "That''s not true. I''m just an ordinary graduate student. It''s my honor to be able to help the soldiers and the country."


    Wu Mo waved his hand and replied with a humble expression.


    "It''s not easy to find a young man like you in the fifth Research Department. I hope that you''ll be able to stick to your true intentions and visit the Third Military Region more often in the future, Comrade Wu Mo," Company Commander Zhang said with a smile.


    His sharp face, which was reflective of a tough man, now had a trace of kindness.


    "Alright, I''ll definitelye here more often in the future."


    Wu Mo was a little surprised by the enthusiasm of the leaders before him.


    He was just an ordinary graduate student who had been invited. In the past, he would not have been invited at all. Even though he was qualified, he would just sit in the back row and quietly watch things unfold like everyone else.


    It was impossible to get such preferential treatment.


    "Comrade Wu Mo, we have a lot of soldiers in the Third MR. If you have equipment that you want to test next time, you cane to me for help. I''ll definitely allocate a few groups of people for you to do aparison test. I promise to arrange everything for you," the department head, Chu Yi, promptly said when he saw the opportunity.


    The people around him were all excited.


    They had seen the effects of the Invisibility Armor in themand room. Even though they already knew about it in advance, they were still shocked.


    At the same time, they thought that if Wu Mo could make new equipment for the Third Military Region in advance, it would greatly increase thebat strength of their soldiers.


    When the soldiers''bat ability increased, the higher-ups would also ce more importance on the Third Military Region.


    If there was anything good down the line, it would be arranged for the Third Military Region first. For example, the teachings of high-level cultivators and special training for the soldiers'' physique.


    These had all been rare opportunities in the past.


    As long as they could show that they were stronger than the other military regions, these opportunities would definitely be given to them. They would be the first to participate.


    Therefore, it was necessary to build a good rtionship with a genius cksmith like Wu Mo.


    "Comrade Wu Mo, why don''t you consider staying for dinner tonight? I''ll arrange for you to meet with the battalionmander," Company Commander Zhang said tentatively.


    Wu Mo shook his head and said, "Thank you for your invitation, but I still have some projects toplete at the Research Department. I have to go back early. See you next time."


    Seeing that Wu Mo had already made up his mind to leave, the leaders had to agree since they could not force him to stay.


    "Okay, I''ll contact Little Sun now and ask him to send you back to the fifth Research Department."


    Company Commander Zhang took out his phone and immediately contacted Sun Siqin.


    After a short while, the liaison, Sun Siqin, rushed over. Behind him were four other four-star cultivators who were all ready to go. They were prepared to set off together to escort Wu Mo back.

 Chapter 184 Going Home

    "I''d like to thank you, leaders, for all your care these past few days. But all banquets muste to an end, so I''ll take my leave first," Wu Mo said to the leaders as he stood in front of a camouge military vehicle outside the region''s gate.


    Company Commander Zhang and themanders waved goodbye. After watching Wu Mo get on the military vehicle and leave, they returned to the military region with some reluctance.


    "It appears that the battalionmander will not be able to see Comrade Wu Mo. What a pity," the toonmander, Ren Bin, said as he walked.


    "It can''t be helped," Company Commander Zhang immediately said. "That kid, Wu Mo, is obsessed with research. I noticed that he was distracted earlier. He might have a new idea about the development of standard weapons."


    "Really?"


    Company Commander Zhang nodded with a smile.


    "That''s great. The eastern theater of operations has announced to the major research institutes the n to improve standard weapons. When we return, Comrade Wu Mo will definitely participate in the project''s research and development. Maybe in a few months, a new weapon will be developed."


    Chu Yi''s eyes lit up as he came up with a deduction.


    "That''s not a certainty. The current key project is to mass-produce the Invisibility Armor. Even if Comrade Wu Mo is involved in the project of standardized weapons, he won''t focus on it."


    Zheng Shaohui shook his head to express a different opinion.


    "In any case, that child, Wu Mo, is very talented. In the future, he will definitely be invited to participate in all kinds of activities. At that time, the battalionmander will have a chance to meet him."


    Ren Bin seemed certain that Wu Mo would be able to achieve great things down the line, so he did not feel guilty at all when he ttered him.


    "Alright, let''s not talk about this anymore. The meeting is starting soon. Let''s go," Company Commander Zhang urged, and everyone quickened their pace.


    On the other side, Wu Mo was sitting in a military vehicle.


    He turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window that was quickly passing by, and he felt a little emotional.


    He had traveled to the Third Military Region of North China to observe the mock battle and gained a lot.


    Not only did he get to know the leaders, but he also felt the indomitable spirit of the soldiers there.


    Even in the face of difficulties and dangers, they did not give up easily.


    To him, the biggest gain was learning the Invisibility Armor''s role on the battlefield and the soldiers'' needs for standard weapons.


    He then retracted his gaze.


    Wu Mo sat in the back of the military vehicle next to Sun Siqin, the liaison officer who had picked him up twice.


    "Second Lieutenant Wu, have you gotten used to life in the military region over the past few days?" the liaison who had short hair and a tall nose, Sun Siqin, asked with a smile.


    "Yes, the living environment in the military is great. It''s just like our Research Department." Wu Mo nodded and answered immediately.


    "Okay, if the opportunity arise again, you can visit our Third MR more often."


    "Alright, I will."


    Wu Mo knew that this was probably a message from the military region''smander.


    He did not show any signs of impatience.


    "Very well, I''ll send you back to the Research Department in the capital."


    After Sun Siqinpleted the task he had been given, he felt much more rxed and spoke more naturally.


    "Umm... it''s fine. Just send me back to Shanglin City likest time."


    Wu Mo shook his head and rejected the liaison''s suggestion.


    "Ah... okay."


    Sun Siqin was a little surprised. At the same time, he subconsciously thought about the reason why Second Lieutenant Wu did not want to return to the capital.


    However, he reacted quickly and ordered the cultivator pilot to change the course.


    As the liaison, he knew that it was best not to ask too much about these researchers who carried secrets.


    A few hourster, the military vehicle arrived at the edge of the city.


    Looking at the approaching steel jungle, Wu Mo''s heart stirred.<sub> </sub>


    He had decided to stop in Shanglin City to visit his parents.


    After all, it had been a few months since hest saw them. When they separated, he promised his parents that he woulde back to visit them when he had the time.


    "I''m sorry, Second Lieutenant Wu. Where do we park?"


    Sun Siqin noticed that Wu Mo seemed to have something on his mind and did not want to disturb him.


    However, the driver had already driven the military vehicle into the downtown area, so they had to know their destination.


    Hearing the liaison''s voice beside him, Wu Mo gradually returned to his senses.


    "Oh, just stop here. Thank you for escorting me." Wu Mo smiled and said politely.


    Despite that, the people in the car could still hear that Wu Mo was a little distracted.


    "No problem. Take care, Second Lieutenant Wu."


    Sun Siqin then opened the car door and sent Wu Mo off.


    ? After the two bade farewell, Sun Siqin got into the vehicle and left the street.


    Wu Mo had not contacted his family for a long time. When his parents moved in, he did not even know where they were.


    He could only call his mother now.


    He stood on the street, and the sun above his head was warm, giving off a feeling offort.


    The traffic was heavy, and people hurried past on both sides of the sidewalk.


    Dudu dudu, dudu dudu.


    The phone rang twice, and his call was picked up soon after.


    "Hello? Is it you, my son?"


    On the other end of the phone, his mother''s unique voice rang out. It was a little hoarse, but it contained an indescribable sense of relief.


    "Mom, I took the day off and came back to see you," Wu Mo said with a smile. He was also a little excited.


    After chatting for a while and getting the address of his parents'' current residence, Wu Mo immediately stopped a taxi and rushed to the residential area where his parents lived.


    The morning exercise had started at 9.00 am. Following the series of events, it was almost 5.00 pm by the time he returned to Shanglin City.


    Wu Mo nned to go back tomorrow afternoon.


    Although there were many things waiting for him to do, Wu Mo still felt that family and kinship shoulde first.


    Soon, a taxi with a Shanglin City license te stopped at the entrance of a residential area.


    The area was huge, and there were several security guards at the entrance.


    The car could not even enter past the gate, so Wu Mo could only get out of the car in advance.


    After paying the fare and verifying his identity, Wu Mo quickly walked toward the gate.


    The environment in the residential area was beautiful, and it wasparable to that of Wu Mo''s guest house in the Third Military Region.


    More than 60% of the residential area was covered in green nts, which looked clean and tidy at first nce. The bushes and the nts in the flower beds had signs of being trimmed.


    The words "Peaceful Residential District" were printed on an oval-shaped arch.


    Although it did not look very luxurious, it had a warm feeling that suited the neighborhood.


    Not to mention, Wu Mo and his parents, who had lived in the countryside for half their lives, were already content with this.


    He arrived at Building No. 8 in the neighborhood. Before he could find the door, he saw his mother waiting anxiously outside.


    His mother was thin, and years of hard work had made her skin dry and pale.

 Chapter 185 Family Affairs

    However, after living in Shanglin City for the past few months, Wu Mo''s mother, Fang Hun''splexion was clearly much better than before.


    "Mom, I''m back."


    Wu Mo quickly ran up and walked to his mother with a smile.


    "Son, aren''t you working in some department? Howe you''re free toe back and see us?"


    Fang Hun immediately went forward to pull Wu Mo into her embrace. She looked him up and down, wanting to see how her son had been living outside for the past few months and see if he had lost weight.


    Fortunately, Wu Mo had been living a good life in the military guest house for the past few days. He had a regr diet and his paleplexion, as well as dark circles, had disappeared.


    Wu Mo felt a little guilty and quickly changed the subject.


    "Mom, it''s getting dark outside. Let''s go in quickly. By the way, how is Little Yan''s studies going?"


    Hearing her son''s urging, Fang Hun swiftly pulled him toward the elevator.


    At the same time, she smiled and said, "Your sister''s doing very well in her studies. Ever since she changed schools, she''s received a moreprehensive education. Her results have skyrocketed. Now, she''s basically in the top five in her ss."


    At the mention of his sister''s grades and recent events, his mother immediately opened her mouth and told Wu Mo about everything that had happened since they moved from the countryside until now.


    It had only taken two days for the mayor to arrange everything, including sending officials to help them settle down and move into the neighborhood.


    They also enjoyed the benefits of the "talent settlement" program. The houses in themunity had been renovated, so all they had to do was carry their bags and move in. There would also be free rent for the first three years.


    In the past, old Wu and Fang Hun would not have dared to even think about such a thing.


    Now, however, they were experiencing the life of a city person.


    At first, the two elders were not used to it, but the neighbors in themunity lived in harmony. It was like a militarypound, and only the family members of talented people who had made contributions to the country could live there.


    Their close rtionship with the neighbors allowed the two elders to quickly adapt to the pace of life there.


    At the same time, little Yan had also been enrolled in the best school for ordinary citizens in Shanglin City.


    While it was not as highly regarded as the Divine Arms Academy, it was still a great school.


    Since it was a public school, there was no worry about studying there.


    Ordinary people would not be important figures like cksmiths or cultivators.


    However, science was also a branch of the country''s development. If an ordinary person became a scientist, there would be a chance to change his fate.


    Knowing that all of this was hard toe by, little Yan studied much harder than she did back in the countryside.


    The entire family knew that all of this was thanks to Wu Mo''s hard work over countless days and nights.


    Soon, Wu Mo and his mother walked out of the elevator.


    There was a long corridor in front of him.


    On the left was the water valve, electric box, and other facilities, while on the right was the house where his parents lived.


    It consisted of one unit on the first floor.


    Seeing this, Wu Mo raised his eyebrows.


    His parents'' quality of life was indeed far from low. It seemed that he was starting to owe Mayor Zhao more and more.


    Wu Mo smiled internally as he recalled his encounter with Mayor Zhao on the train.


    At the time, he had just graduated and had not made any contributions, yet Mayor Zhao had shown him great concern and even offered to help him settle down.


    Ding-dong!


    His mother skillfully unlocked the door with her fingerprint. When, Wu Mo walked in and saw the decoration and area inside, he could not help but click his tongue.


    The house covered an area of more than 100 square meters. It had three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a living room. There was even a panoramic skylight for viewing.


    The environment and conditions were simr to that of his small vi in the Research Department.


    Seeing old Wu dozing off on the couch, Wu Mo''s mother, Fang Hun, shook her head helplessly.<sub> </sub>


    "Old Wu, hurry out and buy some groceries. Our son is back!" she immediately said in dissatisfaction.


    That caused his father to wake up from his dream.


    "...Our son''s back?"


    Old Wu was just about toin when his wife interrupted his sweet dream.


    However, he suddenly felt that something was amiss and quickly turned around in confusion.


    He saw his son, Wu Mo, in casual clothes.


    ...


    Forty minutester, the family sat at the dining table and chatted as they ate.


    Although his parents were now living the life of city folk, the content of their conversation was still rted to the few acres ofnd they previously owned, the vigers, and the interesting things that had happened before.


    Wu Mo listened with a smile on his face. As his mother spoke, she did not forget to put some meat in his bowl. He felt an unusual warmth in his heart.


    "Mom, please stop. It won''t fit the bowl if you continue."


    "Young ones should eat more to grow. Here, have a piece of red braised pork. See if your mom''s cooking has deteriorated."


    His sister, who was wearing a light blue school uniform, chuckled. "Don''t worry, Mom. Your cooking is as good as ever. I believe that Brother thinks so too. It''s just a few pieces of meat. It shouldn''t be a problem, right Brother?"


    Looking at the slyness that shed across little Yan''s beautiful eyes, Wu Mo could only take the risk of bing fat and throw a piece of soft red braised meat into his mouth.


    It was really delicious with its sweet aroma of sugar and meat.


    It had been braised until it was soft enough to melt in the mouth, and it was not greasy.


    However, the meat seemed to be high in calories, so he could only bear with the pain and pleasure.


    The family soon finished their meal.


    Wu Mo wanted to help wash the dishes, but his mother stopped him.


    "Washing the dishes is part of your dad''s daily routine. You can''t take his job."


    Wu Mo did not know whether tough or cry.


    He felt that if he were to stay at home every day, he would be a fatty sooner orter, and a spoiled fatty at that.


    "Bro, why don''t you tell us about what happened at the Research Department? Are you tired from work?"


    Little Yan tilted her head and looked at her brother as she asked with a smile.


    Wu Mo looked at his beautiful sister, who was only 13 or 14 years old, and agreed without hesitation.


    "Actually, it''s quite easy to work in the unit. I just read books, do some research, write reports, and so on every day. It''s not tiring." Wu Mo blinked and said with a serious look.


    "Alright. I heard that the researchers are all scientists, so they should be researching some new technology or project. Bro, have you had any fun in the past few months?"


    Little Yan nned to ask about some other things to satisfy her inner curiosity as well.


    However, before she could finish speaking, her mother urged her to do her homework.


    "Fine, I''ll ask after I''m done."


    Even though little Yan was a little reluctant, she still walked into the study immediately.


    At eight o ''clock in the evening, the family sat on the couch and watched movies, as well as TV shows, from the 1970s.


    Although these ssic movies were not much different from the movies in the parallel world, they integrated the current pop culture, such as forging, monsters of all races, and so on.


    Wu Mo could also easily understand it.


    To him, apanying his family was more meaningful than the fun of watching movies.

 Chapter 186 An Understanding Of Home

    He talked to his parents about some family matters and the recent situation.


    It was calming for Wu Mo.


    At 10.00 pm, Wu Mo had no choice but to enter his room and sleep due to his parents'' urging.


    Even though the room that belonged to him had been empty for a few months, it was clean and spotless.


    Looking at the warm decorations in the room, Wu Mo felt an indescribable feeling.


    "It''s still better to stay at home."


    He sighed and climbed into the warm bed.


    In fact, he did not have much attachment to the vige. To him, as long as his parents and sister were around, any ce could feel like home.


    Time flew, and the night grew darker.


    Wu Mo was not used to sleeping so early, but the soft bed and the room''s atmosphere helped him to fall asleep very quickly.


    He opened his drowsy eyes the next morning and got out of bed to draw the dark blue curtains open.


    The sunlight outside the window was just right. When he took out his phone, it was already past seven o''clock.


    He felt that the sun had risen particrly early today.


    However, his mother had already started to prepare breakfast.


    By the time he washed up and entered the living room, the air was already filled with the fragrance of rice.


    "We have sweet potato porridge this morning. Thedy upstairs said that she bought too much, so she gave us some."


    His mother, who was busy in the kitchen, saw her sone out. After speaking to him, she continued cooking.


    Meanwhile, his father was fiddling with a fishing rod in the corridor. He was nning to go fishing in theke behind the neighborhood in the afternoon.


    "Good morning, Bro."


    His raven-haired younger sister walked out in her school uniform with a face full of joy. Catching her brother awake early in the morning was the biggest surprise for her.


    However, her brother was busy with work as a researcher. He would definitely have to leave soon.


    Noticing that the little girl seemed to understand his situation, Wu Mo immediately walked up to her and patted her head.


    "Just focus on your studies. It''ll be New Year''s in a few months. I''ll be back by then, won''t I?"


    After hearing her brother''sforting words, little Yan tilted her head and thought for a moment.


    "Uh... that checks out," she said with a smile.


    Wu Mo unwittingly smiled when he saw this.


    Although his younger sister looked like a mischievous child, she was still little. After being cated by his previous words, she quickly forgot the incident.


    Before eight in the morning, Wu Mo had the sweet potato congee.


    Therge piece of sweet potato in it gave the porridge a different taste. It was quite fragrant.


    Not long after he finished eating, his younger sister, little Yan, went to school.


    The school she studied at was less than 500 meters away from the neighborhood. So, in the few months she had moved there, she had never asked her parents to send her home. She had always gone home by herself.


    Wu Mo watched his sister leave the neighborhood from the window. He felt that his sister was quite sensible.


    She never let their parents worry about her, and she cherished the hard-won living conditions she had now.


    She was also incredibly diligent in her studies. Unfortunately, his sister did not have the talent to be a cksmith. Otherwise, she would definitely not lose to her elder brother in terms of skill.


    "Son, didn''t you only take a day off? Do you have to go back today?" his mother, who was clearing the dishes, promptly asked when she saw him look out of the window as if he had something on his mind.


    "It''s fine, Mom. I''ll just stay at home and keep youpany. It''s not easy for me toe here. Are you going to chase me away? "


    Wu Mo knew that his mother was worried about his work, but he still asked the obvious.


    "No, I''m a mother. How can I chase my child away? I''m just worried that if you''re away for too long, yourpany''s leaders will have something to say about it. After all, it''s not easy to resolve things at work."<sub> </sub>


    He heard his mother''s nagging, but hepursed his lips and snickered. He did not work in apany.


    Besides, his contribution was no less than that of other senior researchers. Unless there was a problem with his political background, he probably would not be kicked out.


    Besides, everything was reasonable in state agencies. Even the leaders would not fire people casually.


    However, he did not exin it to his mother. Instead, he just nodded and agreed.


    "Be good so that I have nothing to worry about. You can go back to work in the afternoon."


    "Um, alright."


    After seeing Wu Mo nod in agreement, his mother felt relieved.


    Although she was just an ordinary farmer, she had the habit of watching the news at eight o''clock every day. Hence, she had some understanding of the current employment situation.


    In the morning, Wu Mo and his parents went on a walk around the neighborhood. There were pavilions and rockeries in the area.


    There was also a big river not far from the neighborhood.


    At certain times, their floor would give them the best angle to watch the tide.


    Before Wu Mo could rest for long after lunch, his mother began to urge him to go to work.


    Wu Mo felt a little helpless. However, he could see that his parents were healthy and they looked much better than before.


    With that, he felt at ease.


    At two o''clock in the afternoon, Wu Mo looked at some red bags on the table in shock.


    He looked at the eggs, yams, and green beans in the bags.


    Wu Mo vaguely recalled the night before he left the vige for Shanglin City on his own a few years ago.


    Back then, his mother was just the same, afraid that he would not have enough to eat in Shanglin City and that he would live a poor life.


    She had asked Wu Mo to take most of the delicious food in the house to the car.


    She had made hot sauce, local specialty rice cakes, and egg wraps in the bags.


    At that time, his parents were teary when he left the vige.


    He still remembered that when he boarded the train, he swore to work hard so that one day, he would let his parents live in the city.


    "Mom, there''s a free canteen at the office. I don''t need these things," he said with a helpless smile.


    Despite that, he found his mother continuing what she was doing. She was nning to get some sun-dried ck-eyed peas for Wu Mo to tie up.


    "Eat well. If you lose weight again after the new year, you''re going to be in trouble."


    Hearing his mother''s slightly threatening tone, Wu Mo felt a strong warmth.


    He did not know whether tough or cry. In the end, he could only nod. "I understand, Mom."


    "Do you want me to get you a suitcase? It''s not going to be easy for you to carry these things," Fang Hun said after some thought once she prepared everything and looked at the pile of bags on the table.


    "No need. I''ll keep these ''props.''"


    Wu Mo smiled and shook his head. Then, he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his mother.


    He spoke like a child showing off his toy.


    When Fang Hun saw the silver ring on her son''s hand, her first reaction was to wonder if it was a gift from a girl.


    She did not think that this thing would have any other function.


    However, Wu Mo smiled mysteriously and snapped his fingers in front of his mother.


    The next second, a white light appeared in the living room.


    In a sh, the seven or eight bags of food on the table had all disappeared.


    "What do you think? This son of yours designed it. Isn''t it awesome?"

 Chapter 187 Back To The Research Department

    Looking at the table that had disappeared, Fang Hun could not help but click her tongue.


    She looked at her son usatorily and said, "Lying isn''t a good habit. I''m already content that you''re able to enter a national enterprise. You don''t have to say such things to make your mom happy anymore."


    Wu Mo felt like vomiting blood when he heard his mother''s response.


    He could not help butin in his heart.


    "Mom, the neighborhood you''re living in now is only for talented people or the family members of scientific researchers who have made contributions to the country.


    "If your son was just an ordinary freshman, he wouldn''t have received such good treatment."


    However, Wu Mo did not care whether his mother could understand or not. He could only ept his mother''s words as the truth in his heart.


    At three o''clock in the afternoon, Wu Mo was ready to part with his parents.


    Fang Hun urged her son not to cause trouble while he worked outside. He should not always stay upte and skip breakfast. His health was his greatest asset.


    Old Wu just watched from the side, unable to say anything that was too affectionate.


    However, Wu Mo''s father had always been like that, never good at expressing himself.


    Wu Mo was already used to it.


    "Alright, Dad, Mom, you should go in. I''ll be leaving now. I''lle back to see you after the new year.


    Wu Mo then waved goodbye to his parents.


    Old Wu hummed in agreement and did not say anything else.


    His mother, on the other hand, had always been sensitive.


    Even though she had been urging Wu Mo to go to work, her eyes unwittingly reddened as she stared at Wu Mo''s back.


    ...


    "Hu!"


    If he wanted to chat and watch the news with his mother again, it seemed that he could only wait until the new year.


    Wu Mo got into his ride and looked back at the two elders who were still watching him depart. He sighed in his heart.


    Soon, the taxi started, and they left the Peaceful Residential District.


    Suppressing the emotions in his heart, Wu Mo began to think about how he could return the mayor''s favor.


    Not only had the mayor arranged everything, but they had also arranged the best treatment and benefits for his parents.


    As a talent of Shanglin City, he should at least make some contributions to the city he was in.


    With that thought in mind, Wu Mo decided to settle it for good once he returned after the new year.


    Whether it was to increase the city''s GDP or to do some welfare construction, these were not the problems that he should consider at the moment.


    He needed to mass-produce the Invisibility Armor and develop standard weapons first. These two projects still needed to bepleted.


    Although there was still a long time before the deadline, Wu Mo had always pursued the habit of solving problems first. He did not want to wait untilter to deal with it in a hurry.


    At 3.30 pm, Wu Mo''s taxi arrived at the only high-speed rail station in Shanglin City.


    After paying, he got out of the car.


    Wu Mo walked up to the self-service machine and took the ticket he had bought in the morning. Then, after a series of security checks, he sessfully entered the waiting hall.


    By the time he boarded the train, it was already past four o''clock. Wu Mo set an rm and leaned on the table to rest.


    The train was not crowded, but there was a carriage that could not fit enough people.


    Wu Mo heard all kinds of noisy conversations, but he simply filtered them out and went to sleep.


    The high-speed train stopped at three stops along the way. It was already 8.30 pm when they were about to reach the capital.


    The sky outside the window had bepletely dark. Only the silhouettes of some trees and lonely electric poles could be seen.<sub> </sub>


    As a base city, Jingdu had prosperity that other cities could not achieve.


    After leaving the high-speed rail station, Wu Mo took a taxi to the fifth Research Department.


    When the middle-aged driver heard Wu Mo''s destination, his attitude toward thetter immediately became respectful.


    "Young man, are you a staff member of the Research Department?"


    Facing the driver''s question, Wu Mo nodded his head without hiding anything.


    "You''re so young. I didn''t expect you to work in a ce like the fifth Research Department. You''re a really promising young man.


    The driver was obviously surprised, and he looked at Wu Mo with respect.


    Along the way, Wu Mo avoided the driver''s questions and finally made it to the Research Department before it closed at 10 o''clock.


    After taking out the relevant documents, Wu Mo immediately walked in.


    He walked on the familiar paths and looked at the brightly lit buildings in the distance. He was a little excited.


    When he returned to his vi, Wu Mo sent a message to Academician Xu first.


    It indicated that he had returned from the military region.


    Then, before the internal reference room closed, he borrowed three new books.


    He had already finished reading the previous three. While he had learned a lot, he had gradually understood one particr principle.


    No matter how much time was spent, it was still difficult to master certain fields to the proficiency of others.


    Yes, he was talking about enhancement, thest step in forging equipment.


    Enhancement referred to the ability to use materials to continue improving an equipment''s quality after it was formed.


    For example, if the surface of a Rare-grade weapon was engraved with a Tier 3 rune and its attributes were enhanced with a high-level scroll, the weapon''s grade could be upgraded to Premium or even Epic.


    However, Wu Mo had yet to grasp the main points of making an enhancement scroll. He was very familiar with rune enchantment, but when it came to sharp weapons, he had yet to forge something like a sword. Hence, he had never used one before.


    In any case, Wu Mo epted his weaknesses in certain areas.


    He had alreadye to terms with it.


    Following a series of procedures, it was almost 11 o''clock when he returned to his residence.


    He took out a can of Coke and some fast food from the refrigerator and ate to his heart''s content while he listened to some background music.


    By the time he finished eating and put all the food his mother had given him into the refrigerator, his eyelids were starting to fight to stay open.


    After he forced himself to wash up, he immediately locked the living room door and went back to his bedroom on the second floor to sleep.


    Upon returning to his familiar room, he had an unusually good sleep.


    In the blink of an eye, it was already nine in the morning.


    He got out of bed and stretched.


    Wu Mo did not wash up right away. Instead, he approached the desk and started writing in his notebook.


    As the saying goes, the palest ink is better than the best memory. He had forgotten about it yesterday because he had been too busy. After waking up, Wu Mo immediately nned to put everything to paper.


    A few days ago, he had questioned the soldiers in the military region and received a list of requirements.


    The first requirement was for their weapons to be easily portable.


    Soldiers had to maintain good mobility on the battlefield. If their weapons were too heavy, it would definitely affect the soldiers''bat ability.


    Therefore, he believed that the weapon''s weight should not exceed one kilogram.


    After all, it was required for closebat, while weapons like swords were suitable for mid-rangebat. If the enemy got close, the soldiers would not be able to disy their usual skills.


    Hence, daggers and hunting knives were more suitable.

 Chapter 188 Deduction Plan: Spirit Wave Sword.

    The second condition was the weapon had to be lethal. When a soldier fought with the invading races on the battlefield, the weapon had to be able to kill them with one strike or severely injure the enemy and cause unnecessary trouble.


    The third concerned its range of attack. Although daggers and hunting knives were only several dozen centimeters long and very suitable for closebat, they were a bit rigid.


    Those beastly creatures had extremely sharp fangs and teeth. Some of them could even spit out fire and acid. They had endless means of attack.


    If the weapon''s range of attack was too small, the cultivators would have to risk their lives to engage in closebat.


    So, if the range of the new type of weapon could be adjusted and be more flexible, it would give the cultivators on the front line more room for utilization.


    Thest point, which was also the most important to Wu Mo, was to counter the Invisibility Armor.


    Although most of those ugly and disgusting monsters did not have the ability to be invisible, Wu Mo still wanted to challenge himself.


    The enemy might develop equipment that could counter the Invisibility Armor.


    Wu Mo was the most familiar with the principle of how the Invisibility Armor could perform optical invisibility.


    Itpletely relied on the ghostly Dark Light Wings to adjust angles and refract the light and scenery behind them to the front, thus achieving physical invisibility.


    Once they encountered strong winds or frequently shing light rays, the wings would not adjust fast enough and reveal themselves.


    Such strong winds could only be formed naturally. Even if they could be man-made, it would be impossible to make weapons out of them.


    Changing the light was the most feasible n that Wu Mo could think of.


    As long as he added an explosive light ray to the standard weapon, he couldpletely make an enemy in the Invisibility Armor appear.


    Of course, the effect could only be achieved on the field.


    After all, it was impossible for monsters of all races to obtain the Invisibility Armor.


    Even if this version of the weapon was well developed, its effect could only be one of the additional functions. He still had to n the main effect for the battlefield.


    He jotted down the four requirements and some of his own thoughts in his notebook.


    After he was done, Wu Mo immediately dwelled on it with a frown. He wanted to know if there was any equipment on the Blue that could satisfy the four requirements above.


    Of course, his main goal was still to take inspiration from the gaming world because most of the weapons and equipment in the movies were firearms and other hot weapons. Only the weapons in the gaming world had all kinds of strange effects.


    The Interspatial Ring was an inspiration he had found from the books on the Blue.


    As for the Mercury Cloak, it was based on a popr game.


    Mjolnir was a weapon from a movie, though, and he had copied it exactly.


    However, before he could search through the memories in his mind, a voice suddenly rang in his ears.


    "Ding! Ding! Ding! The system has a huge data deduction function. As long as you make a request, the system will give you the most reasonable solution within one minute. Would you like to activate it?]


    Hearing the system''s ethereal voice, Wu Mo''s eyes suddenly lit up. After not using the system''s functions aside from the forging space for so long, he had almost forgotten that the Divine cksmith System, which was bound to him, possessed other functions.


    For example, automatic deduction and equipment identification were all additional functions of the system.


    However,pared with the Divine-grade Forging Space, they were so mediocre that Wu Mo had almost forgotten about them.


    "Activate," he immediately muttered to himself.


    At the next moment, a dark blue translucent system panel appeared in front of him.


    [Deductionpleted; 200 points consumed, 228486 points remaining.


    [The items that meet the highest requirements have been listed.<sub> </sub>


    [Equipment Type: Closebat Weapon


    [Equipment Name: Spirit Wave Sword.


    [Equipment Grade: Epic


    [Materials Required: High-frequency Stone, Hybrid Pulse Device, Ceramic Fiber, and Star Rock coating.


    [Weapon Characteristics: 600g in weight, attack range of 15cm to 150cm, can instantly emit a high-temperature wave of 10,000 degrees Celsius, extremely lethal.]


    Wu Mo was excited when he saw the attributes of the equipment on the system interface.


    This n met all his needs perfectly. Also, because it would produce strong light and high temperature when used, the Dark Light Wings on the Invisibility Armor would not have enough time to adjust, and the invisibility effect would be greatly reduced. It also met his need to counter the Invisibility Armor!


    [n introductionpleted. Would you like to use it?]


    The system''s voice rang out again, and Wu Mo agreed without thinking.


    [n selection sessful. Forging-rted information has been sent to the forging space. You can read it at any time.]


    The moment he agreed, Wu Mo felt new knowledge enter his mind.


    This knowledge allowed him to have a better understanding of the Spirit Wave Sword. Although it was not as detailed as a blueprint, it still allowed him to have a well-thought-out n.


    "As expected of the system... The n it''s provided is much more appropriate than the ones I''ve thought of."


    There was a hint of anticipation in Wu Mo''s eyes. He was now aware that if the Spirit Wave Sword was really forged...


    It would be even more powerful than the lightsaber from Star Wars!


    A wave of excitement reverberated in his heart.


    Wu Mo immediately closed his eyes and entered the Divine-grade Forging Space.


    His thoughts became jumbled, while his sight, smell, and other senses were all cut off.


    The next second, he was already in the forging space that was filled with dark purple light.


    After entering the forging space, Wu Mo immediately noticed that a low round wooden bookshelf had appeared beside the work desk.


    There were a few new folders on the table, with the words "Pulse Device Research and Development Ideas ", "Working Principles of Shock Heat Conduction", "Star Rock Coating from Introduction to the Earth," and so on.


    With just a nce, Wu Mo knew that these documents should be relevant information given by the system. If he could understand all of them, forging a Spirit Wave Sword that could vibrate at a high frequency would not be a difficult task.


    He suppressed the excitement in his heart and swiftly approached the bookshelf, taking one of the documents.


    He leaned against the silver work desk and began to read it with great interest.


    The document clearly pointed out the difficulties that might be encountered in the forging process. There were also some technical systems that he still could not grasp. He was afraid that he would only gain someprehension after reading all the books and materials.


    Only then could he start forging.


    He was mesmerized by the sight, sometimes frowning in thought, while other times excited and secretly happy. It was as if he had found a treasure.


    Fortunately, the upgraded workstation had the ability to automatically restore mental power and calm its user''s emotions.


    Otherwise, Wu Mo would not have been able to absorb the knowledge so quickly.


    Nevertheless, the consumption of mental power in the space was still too high.


    Moreover, it was still morning, and he had not even eaten.

 Chapter 189 Accepting The Project

    Even though the forging space could slow down the passage of time, he still could not bnce out the amount of mental energy he had consumed.


    Unless he became a six-star cksmith, it would be difficult to maintain a bnce between consumption and replenishment.


    Thinking of this, Wu Mo suppressed his desire for knowledge. He closed his eyes and imagined his whole body falling.


    A wondrous feeling immediately made him leave the forging space and return to his bedroom in the vi.


    Looking at the open notebook before him, Wu Mo stood up and promptly put it back in the desk drawer.


    He then pushed open the bedroom door and entered the bathroom to wash up.


    Wu Mo changed into a new set of clothes and quickly went downstairs.


    He looked at the time. It was already past eight in the morning.


    He had stayed in the forging space for a few hours, but only a few minutes had passed in the real world.


    After Wu Mo pushed open the courtyard door, he walked briskly toward the canteen.


    Flowers, grass, and trees stood quietly on either side of the smooth asphalt road.


    He also saw many unknown white and pink flowers.


    asionally, he would also meet researchers in whiteb coats.


    At 9.00 am, Wu Mo finished his meal and left the cafeteria.


    The phone in his pocket suddenly rang.


    Wu Mo took his phone out and saw that Academician Xu was calling him.


    "Hello... Academician Xu, what''s the matter?" Wu Mo picked up the call immediately and answered respectfully.


    "Wu Mo, we''ve already put the production of the Invisibility Armor on the agenda. In a while, there will be researchers sent to our institute. I''ll have them form a mass-production research team, and you''ll be in charge of everything."


    When Wu Mo heard Academician Xu''s kind voice, he quickly replied, "Don''t worry, Academician Xu. I''m almost done with the Invisibility Armor''s improvement. I''m ready for mass production."


    "Sure, no problem." On the other side of the phone, Xu Wuyue was surprised by Wu Mo''s speed, and he praised him right away. "I knew it. You''ll definitely be able toplete the mission."


    "However, there''s no rush for mass production in the next few days. I''m calling you specifically to talk about something else."


    "Huh?"


    Wu Mo was a little confused. Other than the project, what else did Academician Xu want to talk to him about?


    "The fifth Research Department has recently received a Level B project. It''s not about the improvement of standard weapons, but the design of a singlebat dagger."


    Academician Xu patiently exined over the phone, "The research and development weapons this time is mainly for the convenience of the cultivators on the front lines. Currently, more than twenty researchers have taken this task.


    "Although the militarymander has asked you to design it, I still want to make sure you''re interested in this research and development project. Also, if this project is sessful, will the mass production n be dyed?"


    Wu Mo contemted for a moment before he answered Academician Xu''s questions.


    "Academician Xu, don''t worry. The technical barriers rted to the mass production n have been mentioned in thest documented guide, and I''m confident that I can do it well.


    "As for the dagger research, I think it''s necessary to participate. After all, I need to make three important technological contributions to participate in the conference. I haven''t met the requirements yet, so I can''t rx," Wu Mo said in a serious tone while he walked with his phone in his hand.


    Xu Wuyue was incredibly satisfied with Wu Mo''s answer.


    He wanted to see a researcher who was willing to devote his youth to scientific research and able to endure loneliness as well as hard work.


    Wu Mo''s obsession and seriousness in scientific research met his expectationspletely.


    "Alright, I''ve already helped you apply for it. Zhou Ning will contact you in a while. If you have any questions, you can contact me again," Xu Wuyue said quickly.<sub> </sub>


    Then, he gave Wu Mo a few more instructions and hung up.


    In the office on the seventh floor of the research building, Xu Wuyue put the phone aside and swiftly entered some information into theputer.


    A few days ago, a background check had been conducted on Wu Mo. The results were as expected; Wu Mo and his family had a clean background, without any stains.


    Furthermore, his two parents were farmers who had worked for half of their lives.


    Wu Mo''s tenacious heart and relentless efforts were both indispensable since he managed toe this far from that remote mountain area.


    Inparison, his daughter, Xu Wanqing, who was so proud of her little contribution, seemed to be inferior.


    Xu Wuyue looked at the floating clouds outside the window and sighed.


    A gentle breeze blew, and the leaves rustled.


    On the way back, Wu Mo was a little happy.


    Earlier, Academician Xu did not directly order him to take over the project. Instead, he asked for his opinion, which made him feel much better.


    Even though he was highly interested in scientific research, he did not want others to dictate the direction of his study. Free exploration and happy learning were more to his rhythm.


    Di di!


    "£¤110,000 has been transferred to your Shanglin Bank ount from the fifth Research Department in Jingdu."


    Just then, a voice message came from his phone. Wu Mo took it out and learned that he had received his monthly sry again.


    Being able to do the work that he liked every day and earn a sry that was many times higher than others was a happy thing for him.


    With light steps, Wu Mo returned to the vi in the blink of an eye.


    He then saw a ck business car parked outside the vi not far away.


    A girl in a ck leather jacket was standing by the car door, looking at him with an inexplicable expression.


    "Zhou Ning, you''re here so soon?" Wu Mo raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.


    I''m giving a project to the second lieutenant. I wouldn''t dare bete," Zhou Ning teased with a smile.


    She and Wu Mo were like old acquaintances who had not seen each other for a long time.


    "Alright, stop teasing me. Let me have a look at the document."


    Wu Mo scratched his head. He could not win an argument against Zhou Ning, so he turned around and spoke with a serious expression.


    "Tsk, just you wait."


    Zhou Ning rolled her eyes at Wu Mo and immediately returned to the car before she took out the documents.


    "Other researchers usually take on Level C or even Level D missions. Only you take on confidential projects every time."


    Wu Mo chose to turn a deaf ear to Zhou Ning''sints. He flipped open the folder and looked at the requests. To his surprise, he found that the items listed were very simr to the Spirit Wave Sword that the system had deduced earlier.


    "Gasp, there is such a thing."


    Wu Mo was slightly taken aback, and there was a glint in his eyes.


    "What''s wrong? Could it be that even you find it troublesome?" Zhou Ning curiously asked with her arms crossed when she saw Wu Mo''s surprised expression.


    "Ahem, ahem, I don''t. I just find it too simple, that''s all."

 Chapter 190 A Meticulous Plan

    Wu Mo touched his nose and nodded, pretending to be calm.


    "Hmph, you''re still the same as before, always talking big."


    Zhou Ning pursed her lips. However, her current thoughts were different from when she worked with Wu Mo for the first time. She believed that Wu Mo would definitely be able toplete the project perfectly.


    After all, she still remembered themotion that Wu Mo had caused in the test field.


    "The time limit for this mission is one and a half months. When the timees, I''ll arrange for the Information Department to gather all of you into a group chat. Then, everyone who epted the mission can have a technical discussion in the group chat.


    "Alright, I won''t say anything else. I''m looking forward to your explosive appearance."


    Zhou Ning blinked and immediately turned around to open the car door.


    Wu Mo smiled and waved goodbye.


    He only turned around and returned to the vi after Zhou Ning''s car hadpletely disappeared from his sight.


    In the living room, Wu Mo ced the documents on the coffee table and called Academician Xu again to tell him aboutthemission.


    "Well, since you agreed so quickly, I''m sure you already understand the project''s main goal," Academician Xu said with a smile.


    He felt that Wu Mo was growing more and more mature. He did not even need an exnation anymore.


    "Yes, Academician Xu. I already understand the core requirements of thismission," Wu Mo said confidently while hey on the couch.


    "Okay, but I still have to inform you that you''ll have to design a dagger for this project. It should be quite easy for you, right? "


    Xu Wuyue was afraid that there would be mistakes, so he wanted to discuss the direction of Wu Mo''s forging to avoid wasting time should the first draft turn out wrong.


    "Okay, no problem, Academician Xu. This project is indeed simpler than the previous ones."


    Wu Mo felt that since he had the system''s deduction n and he had obtained the relevant technical documents, it would not be difficult for him to forge it as long as he understood the relevant techniques.


    Compared with the Invisibility Armor from a few months ago, it was indeed much easier.


    Hearing Wu Mo''s answer, Xu Wuyue felt that they were both thinking in the same direction.


    He turned on theputer and transferred to the project of individual weapons production.


    The leader in the war zone had asked Wu Mo toplete the project.


    The reason why dozens of people received themission at the same time was the same as the standard armor''sst improvement project.


    The researchers were just there to apany Wu Mo. It would still be Wu Mo''s work.


    "The request requires it to be light and easy to carry as well as conceal. It also needs to be powerful andpatible with cold weapons. You understand, don''t you?"


    Since Wu Mo was the core of the entire project''s research and development, Xu Wuyue repeated himself out of caution.


    "There''s no issue. The weapon I''vee up with is only 600 grams. It''s especially light.


    "On top of that, it''s only a dozen centimeters long. It''s very suitable for the soldiers to tie it to their legs or hide it at the waist."


    Wu Mo was aware of themission''s requirements, so he answered directly.


    "It''s also incredibly powerful. At the very least, it won''t be a problem to cut wild beasts like tigers and leopards.


    "In addition, it has its own light. Even if we fight in the dark, we can clearly locate our enemy."


    When Xu Wuyue heard Wu Mo''s words, he waspletely relieved.


    He had assumed that Wu Mo would have some psychological resistance after receiving this mission.


    After all, the modifications to the standard battle armor that he had received before were very valuable, and they tested an individual''s ability as well as skills.<sub> </sub>


    However, the weapon-making this time did not require much skill. Even a three-star cksmith could make it.


    It was mainly because the dagger needed to be used on arge scale, and Wu Mo was the most famous cksmith recently.


    Hence, the higher-ups nominated him to be the responsible party.


    Regardless, Wu Mo needed toplete three technological breakthroughs before the end of the year.


    This weapon would obviously take up a lot of his time. No matter how serious Wu Mo was in the entire research and development process, it would be difficult to break through the technological barrier and make a contribution to the country''s forging field.


    However, after the conversation, Xu Wuyue felt that his previous worries had beenpletely unnecessary.


    Not only did Wu Mo not show any resistance, but he also seemed to be looking forward to it.


    Moreover, within an hour of epting the task, he had found the direction of his research.


    That clearly showed that Wu Mo was very interested in the project.


    "Alright, I''m relieved to hear that. Go ahead and do it. If youck materials or funds, just tell me," Xu Wuyue said with a smile,pletely relieved.


    ording to Wu Mo''s description, Xu Wuyue could roughly guess that he was going to make a dagger with high tenacity and hardness. It would also be light and easy to carry. It might even have multi-purpose features, such as a sawtooth de on the back of the knife, lights, and so on.


    It was already in the bag.


    "Okay, thank you for your trust and support, Academician Xu. I''ll get back to work now."


    Wu Mo hung up the phone and felt full of energy.


    At the same time, he was impressed by Academician Xu''s nature.


    Academician Xu did not criticize him for developingser weapons. Instead, he was very tolerant, even encouraging him.


    It was something that delighted Wu Mo.


    Looking at the documents before him, Wu Mo decided to start his research and development immediately.


    There was still some time before the year-end conference.


    Besides, there was still time for him to make the Spirit Wave Sword.


    Once the actual Spirit Wave Sword was created, it would definitely be a technological breakthrough in the current field.


    After all, whether it was in the field of science or forging, a shock wave device did not exist.


    Thinking of this, he became excited and immediately went to the second floor to start his research.


    Soon, he entered the Divine-grade Forging Space.


    The ce was always dark, and if one looked at the light of chaos for a long time, one would even have strange thoughts.


    The surroundings were dark, and only the work table and the furnace were constantly emitting light.


    Wu Mo walked to the bookshelf, picked up another book, and immediately began to read it carefully.


    In the forging space, he could always maintain a calm state of mind while standing around the workbench. He could also slowly recover his spirit power.


    More importantly, the flow of time in this space had be very slow. He only needed to go out and take a nap every 10 hours to recover his spirit energy and continue to devote himself to the ocean of books.


    There was only one thing that he felt regretful about. He could not pick up his phone in the forging space or check the situation in the vi.


    If he stayed in the medium for too long in a day, he could only use the remaining time to sleep and recover his mental power.


    If someone found out, they would probably think that he had narcolepsy, and it would be difficult to exin, which would cause unnecessary trouble.

 Chapter 191 Treasure Trove Pavilion

    Therefore, Wu Mo set a rule for himself. The umted time he could enter the realm every day would be no more than ten hours, which was six minutes in the real world.


    That was the only way to maintain a normal routine.


    In the following week, hepleted many preliminary tasks.


    First, he had to finish all the modifications to the Invisibility Armor.


    The Invisibility Armor lying in his Interspatial Ring had ovee all its ws and was quietly waiting for the mass production project.


    Second, he had read through all the documents issued by the system. Although there were still some principles that he did not understand, he hadpleted at least 70% of the work, and he could officially start the next week.


    Third, all the researchers in the fifth Research Department who had epted the project had been pulled into the same group chat by the Information Department.


    The group chat was lively every day, and he would asionally join in the discussion.


    When he saw someone raise a wrong point of view, he would kindly correct it.


    So, he also felt a sense of participation.


    Of course, the warehouse staff had also stopped by his ce a few times over the past few days.


    Forging the Spirit Wave Sword required many materials, and most of the research institutes did not have them.


    For example, he had to make the molecr oscition device and High-frequency Stone himself. He could only make the Spirit Wave Sword after he hadpleted and assembled them.


    Fortunately, the Research Department had three materials in stock, and Wu Mo directly asked for two sets of them for future use.


    Of course, the three books that Wu Mo had borrowed from the internal reference room this week had all been returned.


    Ever since he started working at the Research Department, he had been visiting the internal reference room several times a week, so he rarely missed anything.


    Now that a few months had passed, he had already finished reading most of the notes and books in the internal reference room. Most of the remaining information covered subjects that he already knew.


    If it were not for the rule that he could only borrow three books at a time, he would have probably achieved this goal much earlier.


    Due to his frequent borrowing, he had be the most familiar person in the internal reference room. Most of the time, the guard would only go in as a formality and not check much.


    Since Wu Mo was going to start construction in the second week, the materials hecked could only be obtained through auctions or from organizations simr to Treasure Pavilion.


    He called Academician Xu straight away and asked him to arrange the funding.


    "What? You said that it would cost £¤5,800,000 to forge a dagger!"


    On the other end of the phone, Academician Xu could not remain calm, and he sounded a little stern.


    "That''s right. I need to use many materials that the Research Department doesn''t have to cast the dagger. To avoid dying the work process, I can only go out and purchase them."


    Right then, Wu Mo felt a little disappointed. During their discussion, Academician Xu seemed supportive of his development of a vibrating weapon. Why was he suddenlyining about the high funding?


    After all, the price Wu Mo quoted was a little low. Many things were incredibly rare, and it was impossible to get them without going to arge chamber ofmerce.


    "Hmm, okay. Use the materials sparingly then. The project''s deadline is still a long way, so there''s no need to rush."


    Xu Wuyue hung up the phone in a daze, but he still transferred the funds to Wu Mo''s ount through the system.


    After all, he had produced the Invisibility Armor before, so he was quite at ease with Wu Mo''s behavior.


    Besides, the mass production of the Invisibility Armor was about to start. He could use it immediately even if he had more, so it should be fine.


    On the other side, Wu Mo heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the notification on his phone.


    He was worried that there would be problems with the budget, but Academician<sub> </sub>


    Xu Wuyue was still very reliable. Although he had some objections, he still transferred the money to his card with haste.


    Seeing that it was still early, he decided to go out first. Once he found enough materials, he woulde back and start making the Spirit Wave Sword.


    Soon, he left the Research Department through the gate.


    He immediately called an online taxi and prepared to head to the capital''s city center.


    Being a base city, its center was well-developed. There were private schools for cksmiths and chambers ofmerce in great numbers. There were also many private smithing shops for customizations.


    As for auctions, severalrge chambers ofmerce would open once a week. The auction house, which was thousands of meters long, was often full.


    Powerful cultivators and master cksmiths could often be seen there. One could say that Shanglin City could never hope to achieve the level of liveliness and grandeur of an auction at the city center.


    Wu Mo had chosen the day that the capital''s number one chamber ofmerce, Treasure Trove Pavilion would hold its auction¡ªevery Thursday.


    Treasure Trove Pavilion''s reputation in the capital was extremely great. It had opened thousands of branches of various sizes in the Nine Provinces.


    Treasure Trove Pavilion''s main store was in the capital city, and there was an endless stream of customers every day. The power of one store brought the reputation of the entire street to its peak.


    Soon, the taxi stopped at a corner of the street.


    Wu Mo paid and got out of the car before he immediately walked toward Treasure Trove Pavilion.


    He had ventured out for two things today. The first was to purchase the materials needed for the Spirit Wave Sword, and the second was to head to the cksmith Guild to change his robes.


    After all, his strength had already reached the five-star rank, so what was his deal wearing a four-star forging suit all the time?


    He soon arrived at the center of the street, the entrance to Treasure Trove Pavilion.


    The pavilion before him was arge six-sided building that had been constructed in an ancient Chinese style.


    One could call it a cornice and a richly ornamented building.


    Every part of its design was intricate. Just looking at it from a distance, one could feel the antique fragrance and lingering charm.


    Many luxury cars were parked in the open space outside Treasure Trove Pavilion''s gate


    There were Cullinans, Ferraris, Koenigseggs, and other models that were worth more than £¤10,000,000.


    There were also brands like BMW and Mercedes-Benz.


    While there was still an hour before the auction began, many people had already taken their seats.


    They were all waiting in anticipation. Among them, there was nock of elders from aristocratic families, high-level cultivators, and other experts that one would not normally see.


    Wu Mo approached Treasure Trove Pavilion''s gate, but because he was only wearing casual clothes today, the doorman stopped him before he could enter.


    "Sir, how may I help you?"


    Even though the doorman stopped Wu Mo, his tone remained respectful. He was not condescending in the slightest.


    "I need to buy some materials to forge weapons." Wu Mo shrugged his shoulders and said naturally.


    Seeing this, the doorman continued to exin, "Sir, you may not understand what kind of materials we sell. They are only suitable for cksmiths. If you are only buying materials to make an ordinary weapon, Molin Material Shop on the other street is more suitable for you."


    The young doorman exined patiently with a respectful attitude.


    At this point, Wu Mo finally understood that he was probably being treated as an ordinary person.

 Chapter 192 Platinum Membership Card

    However, he could not be med for this. After all, Wu Mo looked really young and did not look like a cksmith with a stomach full of knowledge.


    He snapped his fingers and a leather certificate appeared in his palm.


    "This is the certificate issued by Shanglin City''s cksmith Guild. May I enter now?"


    Wu Mo smiled and did not get angry.


    "I''m sorry, my eyesight isn''t the best."


    When the doorman saw Wu Mo take his ID out of thin air, he realized that Wu Mo was not an ordinary person.


    He did not dare to take the certificate but immediately opened the ss door.


    Upon entering Treasure Trove Pavilion, Wu Mo discovered that it was apletely different space.


    It did not look big on the outside, but the living room within was incredibly spacious.


    Wu Mo stepped on the soft wool nket and looked around curiously.


    He discovered that there were many spatial arrays in the living room, as well as devices that could distort light.


    "Sir, may I know what kind of equipment or materials you need?"


    He had only taken a few steps when a receptionist in a white shirt came up to him.


    Thetter had a pretty face, and being in her early 20s, she was at the age of a budding flower. Her figure was well-proportioned, and her skin was fair. She was one of the prettiest girls he had seen in a long time.


    He looked at her sweet smile and listened to her bell-like voice.


    He was suddenly reminded of Yu Qing, the receptionist in Shanglin City''s Treasure Pavilion.


    Back then, he had received his firstmission from her, and from that, he formed a partnership with Treasure Pavilion.


    "Um, I need some precious materials. I''d like to ask if you have any in stock?"


    Wu Mo immediately took out a piece of paper from his clothes.


    On it was the list of materials he had prepared before he left.


    "Alright, please wait a moment, Sir."


    The receptionist took a look at the list and frowned before she immediately walked in the manager''s direction.


    As a receptionist, she did not understand the effects of the materials as well as the cksmiths.


    However, she could list out the prices of most of the materials as if they were her family heirlooms.


    Despite that, she did not know what most of the materials on the list that the young man had given her looked like. To avoid neglecting the guest, she had to find the manager.


    Within a few minutes, Wu Mo was brought to a private room on the second floor.


    In addition to the previous receptionist, there was also a 30-year-old young man in a dark suit sitting opposite him.


    "Sir, regarding the materials you need, our Treasure Trove Pavilion has them all in stock, but one of them has already entered the auction process. You''ll only be able to purchase it by participating in the auction and offering the highest price.


    "As for the rest of the materials, we have already reserved them for you, Sir. We''re just not sure if you''ll find the price eptable."


    The young man''s words were clear, and he spoke with a sense of propriety. While he expressed what he wanted to say, he did not forget to take care of Wu Mo''s feelings.


    However, Wu Mo was surprised. The materials he had chosen were extremely rare and would not be used under normal circumstances.


    Even if the chamber ofmerce had some in stock, they would usually just gather dust. It was difficult to find a buyer for them, yet the price was rtively high. Normally, they could only wait for a fated person toe along.<sub> </sub>


    In most cases, the materials would not enter the auction process.


    After all, in a regr auction, there would not be more than 50 items at a time. It would take a lot of time to introduce a piece of equipment or material. It would be difficult for an item to enter the auction unless it was popr.


    Treasure Trove Pavilion''s manager seemed to sense the doubt in Wu Mo''s heart and immediately exined with a smile, "I''m sorry, Sir. Under normal circumstances, we wouldn''t auction the graphite powder, but there have been many customers who want to buy it recently.


    "And they are all from families that we cannot afford to offend. For the sake of fairness, we can only arrange an auction."


    After hearing the manager''s exnation, Wu Mo finally understood. He could only sigh in his heart at his bad luck.


    He then changed the subject to the price of the other materials.


    "Tell me, how much do the other materials cost?" Wu Mo asked.


    Wu Mo''s calm attitude seemed to indicate that he was prepared for this.


    The young manager quickly replied, "There are nine sets of materials in total. The total price is £¤3,140,000. As a cksmith, you probably realize that these materials are very expensive. On top of that, their annual production is extremely little."


    The manager immediately gave the reason once he stated the price. More than three million was not a small amount after all. Even if Wu Mo had some wealth, it would likely be difficult for him to ept it on the spot.


    However, before the manager could finish, Wu Mo interrupted them.


    "How about £¤3,000,000? I''ll pay immediately if it''s okay."


    Wu Mo lowered the price a little. As Treasure Pavilion''s special consultant, he knew that the prices of materials would fluctuate and could, of course, be haggled.


    Nevertheless, Wu Mo''s words made the manager and the receptionist dumbfounded.


    They thought that it would be difficult to secure this deal due to the price since Wu Mo was too young. If it had been someone else, they would have brought the items to the buyer straight away. Then he could check them out and haggle before paying.


    Wu Mo''s response was beyond their expectations, and they were taken aback.


    Moreover, Wu Mo had offered £¤3,000,000, and judging from his tone, it was as if he was talking about something that could not be more normal.


    The manager and receptionist were utterly shocked.


    "Uh..."


    The manager was so stunned that he could not even speak at this moment.


    The anxious receptionist at the side promptly said, "Manager, this gentleman is asking if you''re willing to sell the materials we prepared earlier for £¤3,000,000."


    The manager did not react until the staff next to him spoke. He immediately stood up and bowed to Wu Mo.


    "I''m sorry, Sir, for neglecting you before. To express our apologies, Treasure Trove Pavilion will sell these materials to you at a 15% discount. The total price is £¤3,140,000, but after the discount, it will only be £¤2,510,000. In addition, we will give you a tinum Membership Card. I hope you can forgive our previous error."


    The manager had a serious expression as if he was shaken by Wu Mo''s wealth.


    Wu Mo never thought the price of the materials could go any lower. He was a little surprised.


    However, the receptionist standing at the side was the most shocked one.


    A tinum Membership Card was something that only the big shots who had spent £¤10,000,000 in Treasure Trove Pavilion had the right to own.


    Ever since they were established, they had only issued a few hundred tinum Membership Cards.


    As for the higher-level Diamond Membership Card, they could count with both hands, because to obtain a Diamond Membership Card, one had to spend more than £¤100,000,000 in Treasure Trove Pavilion. One''s strength should also be six stars at the very least. Such strict rules made it difficult to spot a Diamond Membership Card in Treasure Trove Pavilion.


    Only true experts from aristocratic families and consortiums could get them.

 Chapter 193 Elder Yao Shan

    The requirements for the tinum Membership Card were not as strict as the Diamond Membership Card.


    Nheless, it was of a high standard, and it was difficult for regr people to reach that level even if they spent their entire life savings.


    The customer before them appeared to be in his twenties, but he managed to get a tinum Membership card on his first visit to Treasure Trove Pavilion.


    Ordinary individuals were extremely rare. An aristocratic family or financial group had to be backing him. Otherwise, it would not have been so easy for him to quote £¤3,000,000.


    "It''s alright. I''ve always been generous. I''ll do as you say," Wu Mo calmly responded with a smile.


    The manager and receptionist immediately went off to handle the matter. Their attitude toward him was much better than before.


    It did not take long for the manager and receptionist to bring the materials and a fresh tinum Membership Card to Wu Mo''s room.


    Wu Mo naturally had no problems with the material cost reducing by more than £¤500,000. He took out his bank card and paid with it directly.


    "Thank you for your patronage, Sir."


    The smiles on their faces became even more radiant when they saw the money being transferred.


    Wu Mo extended his hand and snapped his fingers. In the next moment, a white light shed, and the materials that had been quietly sitting on the table a second ago were immediately stored in his Interspatial Ring.


    Seeing this, the manager and receptionist were even more certain that Wu Mo was from an aristocratic family.


    One should know that many of the distinguished guests who came to Treasure Trove Pavilion every day were people in high society.


    However, most of them would ask their servants to take away the materials. After being employed at Treasure Trove Pavilion for so long, it was their first time seeing someone use such a magical method.


    If not for the fact that his ring was still shimmering, the two of them would have thought that they were hallucinating.


    "Oh, right, didn''t you guys say that the graphite powder has already entered the auction?" Wu Mo raised his head and asked the two people before him once he put away the materials.


    "Yes, Sir. At present, our Treasure Trove Pavilion''s only stock of graphite powder has entered the auction. If you''d like to buy it, you''ll have to join the auction," the manager in the suit said respectfully.


    "Well, that''s fine. You can take me there now. Speaking of auctions, I haven''t joined in on the fun for a long time."


    Wu Mo''s expression revealed a hint of anticipation. The two people beside him immediately followed suit and brought Wu Mo out.


    After returning to Treasure Trove Pavilion''s hexagonal hall, Wu Mo noticed that there was a ten-meter-long passage in the wall on one side and several burly security guards standing next to the door.


    It was obviously different from the first time he entered.


    "I didn''t expect a spatial array to be used here. So, that''s how it works."


    Wu Mo nodded thoughtfully. The next moment, he walked toward the passage.


    The security guards on both sides of the passage noticed that Wu Mo was being treated with such respect by the manager and receptionist, so they dared not step forward and question him.


    When they found out that Wu Mo was participating in the auction, one of them asked in a low voice, "Which family is the young master from?"


    "Don''t worry about it. This gentleman has already be a tinum Member in Treasure Trove Pavilion and has met the requirements to enter the auction."


    The manager turned and left after he said this. The two powerful cultivator bodyguards exchanged looks and could only continue with their work.


    On the other side, Wu Mo walked through the passage and arrived at the auction house in a short while.


    Just as he reached the end of the passage, he heard a burst of noise.


    There were sounds of conversation,ughter, and curses from both men and women, old and young. The auction had not started yet, but the seats were already full.


    He walked out of the passage and saw the auction hall that was over 1,000 square meters in size.


    The backstage as well as the disy stage to introduce the auction items were on the left side of the auction house, while a dense crowd of spectators was on the right.<sub> </sub>


    There were nearly 1,000 seats, but this was the result of Treasure Trove Pavilion raising the entry conditions.


    If there was no threshold, the ce would have probably been filled in an instant.


    Meanwhile, a few staff members were setting up on the stage.


    The audience was packed with people, whispering to each other with different expressions. It was as if they were discussing what kind of items would be disyed in the auction.


    Wu Mo''s purpose for participating in the auction was the graphite powder.


    It was the Spirit Wave Sword''s energy medium. The vibrating device would only be able to release energy without any hindrance if it had enough graphite powder.


    In the natural world, graphite powder was notmon, so there were not many ces where it could be used.


    Its price would usually go up to £¤1,000,000 for every 100 grams.


    Even though Wu Mo had several years of forging experience, he did not recognize this.


    If it were not for the information and memories given by the system, it would be difficult for him to use such materials in a short time.


    He looked around and soon found a few empty seats on the right side of the third row.


    There were still ten minutes before the auction began, yet the seats were already full. That was enough to show Treasure Trove Pavilion''s appeal and reputation in the capital.


    Eventually, Wu Mo found an empty seat and sat down.


    He found that every seat in the audience section was equipped with a ss trough and a dedicated magnifying ss.


    Even if one were to sit 100 meters away from the stage, one would be able to clearly see the details of the exhibits.


    The surrounding people whispered to each other as Wu Mo leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.


    About ten minutester, a few young individuals in Treasure Trove Pavilion''s exclusive uniforms and a gray-haired old man walked out from both sides of the front booth.


    Treasure Trove Pavilion''s work clothes were dark green in color, and they seemed adequate and durable.


    There were a few men and women standing on either side with spirit power vibrations in their bodies. They seemed to be pretty strong cultivators.


    The old man standing in front of them looked to be in his 60s. He was wearing a gray hat, and although he had many wrinkles on his face, he exuded a heroic spirit.


    He looked at the crowd with a sharp gaze and seemed to be an important figure in Treasure Trove Pavilion.


    "I understand that everyone has been waiting for a long time. Today, Treasure Trove Pavilion''s auction will be hosted by me, Yao Shan. The 50 items to be disyed today have all been carefully selected by this old master. I hope everyone will like them," the old man who called himself Yao Shan said in a clear voice.


    His spirit was bright, and his voice was like a great bell. with one look, one could tell that he was a cultivator with great strength.


    Together with the young men and women behind the old man, there were seven of them in total.


    The presence of seven four-star and above cultivators showed how much importance Treasure Trove Pavilion ced on this auction.


    Wu Mo narrowed his eyes as he analyzed the situation in his mind.


    Most of the audience members in the auction house had be excited because of Yao Shan''s appearance.


    "Elder Yao Shan is in great shape. Every time Treasure Trove Pavilion holds an auction, Elder Yao Shan personally hosts it. This is one of those rare asions where we get to see him."


    "Of course. Elder Yao Shan is the soul of Treasure Trove Pavilion. Without him, we wouldn''t even have the energy to bid."


    The audience members all began to speak out in praise, among which there was nock of attentive young people.

 Chapter 194 The First Item, The Dragon Spring Sword

    "Stop talking nonsense. Old man, hurry up and start."


    Behind the audience, a young man in a grey long robe waved his hand and smiled. The other party looked rxed, not following the rule of the auction that bidding could not be loud.


    His words shocked many of the audience around him.


    The friend of the gray-clothed young man immediately lowered his voice and rebuked him. "If you''re f*cking looking for death, don''t drag me down with you. He''s an elder of Treasure Trove Pavilion who manages the entire chamber ofmerce''s affairs. Is he someone you can afford to offend?"


    Both of their voices caused a moderate disturbance.


    On the stage, one of the female cultivators standing behind Yao Shan saw this and immediately beckoned someone with her hand.


    At that moment, a few heavily-armed security guards walked out from both ends of the backstage door.


    Then, they walked directly toward the audience. Many were taking pleasure in the show, while the two who did not follow the rules were directly dragged out like little chicks without any strength to resist!


    "In Treasure Trove Pavilion, I, the old master, have always been fair to every guest not biased toward anyone just because they have a higher worth. However, there are always people who want to challenge our rules. It''s better to clean up such rat sh*t as soon as possible."


    Yao Shan''s expression was as calm as an ancient well, but his tone carried a chilling coldness.


    As soon as he said that, the entire audience fell silent.


    "Since everyone has been waiting for a long time, this old master will now announce themencement of Treasure Trove Pavilion''s auction."


    Yao Shan walked up to the exhibition stage, picked up a gavel, and gently hit it on the table.


    Thump.


    In the next moment, everyone heard a strange sound, and their spirits were lifted.


    Even Wu Mo, who had been resting with his eyes closed, felt his heart tremble. He slowly opened his eyes.


    Wu Mo was surprised when he saw the small gavel that emanated a constant dark purple light. He did not expect Treasure Trove Pavilion to be so rich. Even the gavel used to finalize the price was of Epic grade.


    Moreover, that little gavel seemed to have an additional effect of affecting one''s emotions, forcing him to withdraw from the state of resting with his eyes closed.


    Everyone''s eyes were fixed on the tform, soon after, a maid immediately appeared from backstage with a rectangr box.


    All the people present stared on the box. Yao Shan quickly ced the box on the tform and opened it in front of everyone.


    A burst of silver light shed, and the next second, everyone saw what was stored inside.


    It was a thin sword that was 1.2 meters long.


    The de of the sword had a slight downward curve and a silver glow. There were a few red gemstones embedded in the hilt, and it seemed to be a piece of Premium-grade equipment.


    Although Wu Mo did not have much desire to buy the sword, it was still the first item of the auction.


    If the best items were going to be ced in the finale, the first item was usually a good indicator of the other items'' quality.


    If the first weapon on stage was only of Rare grade, it would indicate that there was nothing good in this auction.


    Should it be of Premium grade, the subsequent items would be Epic or even more powerful materials and equipment.


    If they already started with an Epic item, the best treasure that they had down the line might be of the same quality as a Divine artifact.


    However, such auctions were usually held once every six months or even once a year. It was an auction for artifacts, after all, and they definitely needed to create momentum before the next one.


    Therefore, Wu Mo concluded that the highest-quality item in the current auction would not exceed the Legendary grade.


    Nevertheless, since appraising equipment below Epic grade did not cost any system points, Wu Mo chose to appraise it without hesitation.<sub> </sub>


    [Beep... Equipment identification sessful. The results are as follows:


    [Equipment Type: Sword


    [Equipment Name: Dragon Spring Sword.


    [Equipment Grade: Premium


    [System Score: 43 points.


    [Equipment Effects: 1. Crystal Spring (Attackse with paralyzing poison. Upon hitting the target, the target''s movement speed will be reduced.)


    [2: Dragon Scale (When using a weapon to block an attack, physical defense increases by 50% for 0.5 seconds. This effect can only be used three times per hour.)


    [Magic Array: Tier 1 Rock Formation (Sensitivity to earth tremors increased by 15%.)


    [Equipment Evaluation: This is a fine piece of equipment with excellent workmanship. It''s worth around £¤800,000.]


    Looking at the system''s short evaluation, Wu Mo could seemingly sense the system''s annoyance.


    A year ago, Wu Mo had not been able to break through the barrier of Premium-grade equipment. But now, it was no different from Ordinary equipment because Mjolnir, a Divine weapon, was lying in his Interspatial Ring.


    "The Dragon Spring Sword was made by Master Qian from the capital. The sword has a poison attack that can slow down the enemy''s speed. It can also greatly increase one''s defensive abilities during battle. The starting price is £¤800,000," Yao Shan introduced with a smile.


    He ced the thin silver sword on the disy stand for everyone to admire.


    The audience in the hall whispered to each other. Master Qian was still among the best among the many first-ss masters. He had achieved a peak six-star forging level and personally participated in the forging of a Divine weapon.


    He was the head of the Qian family, which was full of experts.


    It was thanks to Master Qian''s presence that the Qian family managed to flourish without hindrance in the capital.


    His smithing skills were extremely advanced, and the equipment he made was filled with spirit energy. The effects his creations disyed were far better than other equipment of the same grade.


    One could consider him an extremely famous person in the capital.


    Although the Dragon Spring Sword was only of Premium grade, its value was two times higher than a piece of regr Premium-grade equipment. The starting price of £¤800,000 also made everyone''s imagination run wild.


    They all mistakenly believed that they could own such a cheap treasure.


    "I bid £¤900,000!" someone in the crowd immediately stated a price.


    The Dragon Spring Sword was not very attractive to those five-star and above cultivators, but it was highly suitable for low-level cultivators who were just starting out.


    The thin sword was not heavy, and it had good spirit activity, making it very suitable for mid-distancebat.


    It did not take long for the price of the Dragon Spring Sword to rise to £¤1,500,000, and it continued to rise.


    Wu Mo could not help but sigh when he saw the situation.


    An item crafted by a master could actually fetch such a high price. More than £¤1,000,000 would probably be enough to buy two pieces of Premium-grade equipment.


    He unwittingly clicked his tongue.


    He imagined that when he stopped working in the Research Department and returned to Shanglin City, he could be a master cksmith. He should be able to live well.


    While Wu Mo was pondering, there was a sudden thud on the stage.


    His train of thought was immediately interrupted. He then turned his gaze to the stage and realized that the Dragon Spring Sword, which had personally been forged by Master Qian, had already been sold for the price of £¤1,800,000.

 Chapter 195 The Silver Cat And The Epic-Grade Weapon

    Yao Shan carefully ced the Dragon Spring Sword back into its box. The maidservant then carried the box to the audience stand andpleted the transaction with the middle-aged man who had made the bid earlier.


    Note that the maidservants in Treasure Trove Pavilion were all extremely beautiful and had very slender figures.


    She was wearing a tight-fitting work uniform, which showed off her graceful figure. The people around her could not take their eyes off her as a result.


    The middle-aged man who had won the auction for the Dragon Spring Sword felt really proud too. The sum of money he spent was worth it.


    Soon, everyone''s discussion gradually died down.


    The auction continued, and the second item was quickly brought forth.


    "Everyone, what I have here are the fur, ws, and teeth of a Rank 5 Demonic Silver Cat. These are good materials for making armor. Its fur has an extremely strong defense, while its ws and teeth can also be used to make weapons or essories with remarkable effects! "


    Opening the box, Yao Shan took out a piece of light silver fur. As he spread it on the disy stand, he introduced it.


    The audience immediately shifted their attention to the silver fur.


    It was about two meters long, and the fine hair on the surface was clearly visible. It was soft and smooth, and one could tell at a nce that it had been well preserved.


    Two pairs of ws that were still stained with blood were also very eye-catching. They were bright red, and more than half of them were hidden in the flesh.


    However, the exposed parts were extremely sharp and shone with a cold light.


    As for the teeth, they were two fangs from the Demonic Silver Cat.


    The two fangs were about seven to eight centimeters long, and their surface was dark yellow. One could also vaguely see the blood grooves that buried into them.


    The Silver Cat was a demonic species that was difficult to deal with on the battlefield of Ten Thousand Races.


    It was called the Silver Cat because its body shape and structure were simr to that of a cat.


    However, the Silver Cat from the Demon n wasparable to a cow calf in terms of size. It was no different from the tigers and lions of the modern era, but when it came to valiance and destructive power, those big felines would have to retreat.


    The Silver Cat was as fast as a cheetah, and its ws and teeth were extremely sharp. Even if one was wearing Premium-grade equipment, one could still possibly sustain serious injury.


    In all the major battle zones, there were many records of serious injuries caused by Silver Cats.


    Such a demonic animal often appeared on medium-scale battlefields orrge-scale battlefields. Every time a space-time rift opened, traces of the Silver Cat could be seen.


    While the Silver Cat''s fur, ws, and teeth were not rare, since this one was of Rank 5, it would provide enough strength to fight a five-star cultivator.


    If one wanted to kill a Silver Cat without damaging most of its fur, one would need at least two five-star cultivators working together or a six-star cultivator.


    As a result, the price of Silver Cat fur was incredibly high.


    It was normal for the ws and teeth to be sold for millions.


    In arge-scale battle, no more than 10 pieces of Silver Cat fur could be seized. As the saying goes, the rarer something is, the more precious it is. In addition, Silver Cat parts were great for making weapons and equipment, which made their value skyrocket after death.


    "I don''t think we need to go into detail about the use of the Silver Cat''s fur, ws, and teeth. Even Treasure Trove Pavilion has no more than three pieces of Silver Cat fur in stock every month. The starting price for this set of Silver Cat fur, ws, and teeth is £¤900,000. If anyone would like to use it to make Premium-grade equipment and weapons, don''t miss it," Elder Yao Shan exined passionately.


    When the surrounding people saw that the Silver Cat''s fur was in such good condition, most of them were tempted.


    Among them were a few five-star cultivators and cksmiths hired by the aristocratic families. There were also a few rich children who wanted to use the fur to make beautiful wool coats.


    Several confident audience members in the auction hall began to bid, and the price of theplete Silver Cat set quickly rose from £¤900,000 to £¤1,400,000.<sub> </sub>


    However, Wu Mo was not really interested in these things. He only wanted to buy the graphite powder. If it were not for the fact that the graphite powder had already entered the auction house, he would not even have been interested in participating.


    About three minutester, a wealthy merchant bought the Silver Cat''s fur, ws, and teeth for £¤1,950,000.


    That did not mean the others could not offer a higher price.


    The Silver Cat''s fur was just not worth a higher price.


    Even though it was rare, it was only a Rank 5 monster.


    If the price was any higher, they could even buy two Epic-grade Essence Elixirs, so there was no need for more bids.


    The middle-aged wealthy merchant paid the bill in front of everyone. Then, he chuckled and ced the fur, ws, and other materials into his suitcase.


    The auction continued, but most of the subsequent equipment were of Premium grade.


    It was not until the 13th round after more than 40 minutes that a piece of equipment with a dark purple glow appeared.


    Wu Mo was curious, and he wanted to see the effects, as well as attributes, of the purple equipment.


    Since he already had several hundred thousand points now, losing 100 or 200 more was nothing.


    If he had not been in the Research Department all this time and never had a chance to show off in front of others, his points would definitely have exceeded 500,000.


    He immediately chose to appraise it.


    As he muttered the words in his heart, a dark blue translucent panel immediately appeared before him.


    [Beep, beep, beep. The equipment has been sessfully identified, and 100 points have been spent. Its attributes are as follows:


    [Equipment Type: Crossbow


    [Equipment Name: Magnificent me Crossbow.


    [Equipment Grade: Epic


    [System Score: 62 points.


    [Equipment Effects: 1. Frozen (The arrow fired has a 50% chance to slow the enemy. If the enemy is slowed again after the deceleration, the frozen effect will be triggered. The frozen effectsts for one second. The frozen effect can only be triggered once every ten seconds.)


    [2. Extreme me (The fired bolt has a 50% chance to burn the enemy. If the enemy is burned again, the fire will spread and cause AoE damage to the surrounding area. Itsts for five seconds, and the spread effect can be used twice per minute.)


    [3. Ying and Yang (Immune to all damage for two seconds. Cooldown: One day. When this effect is on cooldown, the first two effects will not take effect.)


    [Equipment Evaluation: This is an effect that can be produced when facing more enemies. It is more powerful than other Epic weapons and can save lives in critical moments. However, once the third equipment effect is activated, it will enter a vacuum period, and the crossbow will be no different from Ordinary equipment.]


    Seeing the information that appeared on the interface, Wu Mo could not help but feel a little surprised.


    Although the first two equipment effects of the crossbow were passive, they were quite effective.


    Regardless of whether it was freezing or spreading mes, they would be quite effective in actualbat.


    Thest skill, which granted immunity against damage, shocked Wu Mo even more.


    It had such a powerful equipment effect, yet it was only an Epic equipment. It was simply powerful.

 Chapter 196 The Graphite Powders Appearance

    Although the side effects of its usage would be unbearable, it was still a goodst resort.


    In Wu Mo''s impression, equipment that could produce the heaven and earth reversal effect at thest moment were mostly Legendary or even Divine weapons.


    Although the crossbow before him had a few simple functions, some of its equipment effects were still incredibly powerful. That was enough to make up for the equipment''s other shorings.


    Just as he had expected, the crossbow immediately attracted everyone''s attention after it was brought onto the stage.


    After all, it was the first Epic equipment that had appeared in the auction.


    It was fundamentally different from those items of Premium grade.


    As for those who could afford to buy the crossbow, such as the children of the aristocratic families and the rich businessmen, they were instantly excited when they saw the crossbow on disy.


    ? Yao Shan''s introduction of the crossbow''s functions on the stage made everyone even more excited.


    The control effect of freezing, the AoE damage of spreading fire, and the two seconds of invincibility that came with the equipment had undoubtedly aroused their desire to buy it.


    "Alright, I''m sure everyone knows the effect of this Epic-grade equipment, the Magnificent me Crossbow. The auction will start in five minutes, and the starting price is £¤4,080,000!"


    Yao Shan ced the crossbow on the disy rack. The people below the stage only needed to pick up a magnifying ss to easily see every detail of the weapon.


    After he announced the price, many people below the stage gasped.


    Each of them had a worth of several million, but they were reluctant to spend more than £¤4,000,000 to buy a piece of equipment.


    It was true that even though they were able to participate in Treasure Trove Pavilion''s auction, most people would find it difficult to ept the starting price of this Epic equipment.


    Four million was not a small sum to them, and they would need to spend most of their family fortune to afford it.


    Therefore, the auction of the Magnificent me Crossbow was destined to be a carnival for only a small number of people.


    Only the true rulers of the aristocratic families and the bosses of well-known enterprises could follow the bidding with a nk expression.


    Even the cultivators and cksmiths, whose levels were no less than five stars, had to hesitate for a moment before bidding.


    Long-range weapons had limited uses on the battlefield, but they could protect the user to arge extent. Ultimately, the crossbow had a much longer attack range than other cold weapons.


    They would not have to fight the enemy head-on, and they could keep attacking for a long time on the battlefield against the Ten Thousand Races.


    It was a good choice for many people.


    Unfortunately, long-range weapons were not as popr as cold weapons like swords.


    If it had been a cold weapon of the same quality, there would have surely been more people bidding.


    As Wu Mo considered this, the Magnificent me Crossbow''s price approached £¤6,000,000, and from the looks of it, it would not stop rising for a while.


    "I bid £¤6,300,000! The Magnificent me Crossbow is mine!"


    The crowd was noisy. Suddenly, a strong man in fur stood up from the first row. His voice was like muffled thunder, his body was strong, and his arms were muscr. One look, and you could tell that he was not an ordinary person.


    The price of £¤6,300,000 also discouraged many viewers who wanted topete for it.


    However, some of them had uncertain expressions as if they were considering the pros and cons.


    "Hmph, I''ll pay £¤6,500,000. The He family can''t do anything in Jingdu yet."<sub> </sub>


    Not long after the middle-aged man spoke, a deep and hoarse voice rang out near Wu Mo.


    Wu Mo subconsciously turned his head and saw an old man in in clothes on the third seat next to him. He was speaking with a cold expression.


    The old man had a head of gray hair, and his face was covered in fine wrinkles. His skin was slightly yellow, and one could tell that he was old. However, his eyes were extremely bright, and his beard had traces of being trimmed. At first nce, he looked like a sage.


    Be that as it may, what surprised Wu Mo the most were the six silver auspicious clouds printed on the man''s chest.


    If one looked closely, one would notice that the man''s clothes were extraordinary. The cloth seemed slightly tough and able to provide a good defense.


    "He''s actually a six-star cksmith. It appears that Treasure Trove Pavilion will be auctioning off a real treasure this time."


    A six-star cksmith would not care so much about an Epic-grade piece of equipment because with his strength, he couldpletely forge it himself.


    Despite that, the old man''s expression seemed to suggest that he was determined to keep the Magnificent me Crossbow in his bag, and that he was going topete with the muscr martial artist from before.


    ''Interesting...''


    Wu Mo''s eyebrows rose slightly, and he continued to watch the show in silence.


    Soon, the bidding got heated because each item could only be auctioned for five minutes. Once the time was up, the highest bidder would automatically get the item.


    Therefore, the subsequent bids were often raised in increments of several hundred thousand.


    When the Magnificent me Crossbow''s price reached £¤7,300,000, the middle-aged man and the old man who was a six-star cksmith finally fell silent.


    Wu Mo couldn''t help but click his tongue in wonder.


    The Magnificent me Crossbow was not too amazing. It was just better than most Epic equipment, but Wu Mo did not expect people to bid more than £¤7,000,000 on it. It was shocking.


    Soon, the 13th round of the auction ended, and more equipment was continuously presented.


    Wu Mo was on the brink of falling asleep from waiting, but there was no sign of the graphite powder going on stage.


    Since most of the items sold were equipment or animal materials, very few materials produced in the natural world would be put up for auction.


    ''I''m so worried. Why hasn''t the graphite powder gone on stage yet?''


    Just as Wu Mo was about to continue closing his eyes to rest, he suddenly heard a low discussion behind him.


    "What''s wrong? Don''t tell me you want topete with those smithing families?" a young man in his 30s asked.


    "No, it''s not that. A few days ago, the Forest Wolf Mercenary Group organized an event. Whoever can repair the Legendary ne, New Moon, will be given the Core Nectar."


    "But the New Moon Ne is heavily damaged. Even six-star cksmiths can''t do anything about it. Only the cksmith families can work together toplete it. Also, since they don''t have any important energy transfer material, they have to buy a lot of graphite powder."


    After he said this, the young man crossed his legs.


    "It''s a pity that although its price is high, because no one usually uses it, even therge chambers ofmerce don''t have any stock. The only source of the graphite powder is Treasure Trove Pavilion."


    "Oh, no wonder those cksmith families have alle to participate in this auction. I was wondering why there were so many people this time!"


    The friend next to him immediately pped his thigh with joy.

 Chapter 197 The Three Great Blacksmith Families

    "That''s right, even if we''re talking about Treasure Trove Pavilion, it''s impossible for them to not make money. In any case, it''s not appropriate to sell it to anyone, so they might as well put it directly in an auction and let the major cksmith familiespete for it."


    The two of them deliberately lowered their voices, and with the constant noise from the auction, only a few people nearby could hear them clearly.


    It was not until this moment that Wu Mo was enlightened.


    It turned out that he could not buy the graphite powder because he was unlucky. He had the same goal as the other big families.


    "That''s a little unfortunate."


    Wu Mo changed his sitting position as his eyes glinted constantly.


    He tapped his fingers on the armrest of his chair, contemting whether he should look for other materials to rece the graphite powder.


    After all, the families in the capital all had organizations with several hundred million in assets. It did not matter even if they made a move individually because their financial resources were extraordinary.


    Meanwhile, Wu Mo was just a graduate student. The tenth elder and Guangli Trading Company''s boss had given him a bonus when he left Treasure Pavilion, and he now had nearly £¤30,000,000 on his bank card.


    Despite that, the market price of a portion of graphite powder was £¤1,300,000. If the price was too high, he would not be willing to spend a few extra million yuan on it.


    After all, the development of new cold weapons was approved by the military and the Research Department. Wu Mo did not want to fork out his own money.


    Since he was in a difficult position, how should he deal with itter? To be honest, Wu Mo did not have any other way.


    All he could do now was to wait for the appearance of the graphite powder and see how high the price would be.


    In that case, Wu Mo would choose to solve the problem using other methods. The graphite powder had excellent energy conduction properties, and it would y a rtively good role in making equipment above the Epic stage or repairing Legendary equipment.


    However, in nature, there were a few materials that could rece graphite powder. Some of them could even achieve better results in certain situations.


    If graphite powder truly did not work, he would ask for the system to re-list the materials. With the amount of information stored in the system, it would definitely be able toe up with other solutions.


    Right then, the items in the auction house were constantly changing, and there were several pieces of equipment and materials of good quality on disy.


    However, Wu Mo was not interested in any of them. He only had one thing on his mind: He needed to quicklyplete the dagger project so that he could qualify for the cksmith''s Annual Exchange Conference held by the country at the end of the year.


    The auction was supposed tost for two and a half hours, and more than half of that time had passed.


    More than 30 products had been disyed before the public. That aside, the subsequent materials were bing increasingly rare and precious.


    The final treasures of this auction would definitely give most people an unexpected surprise.


    As such, even if there were people in the audience who were not interested in some of the goods, they still waited quietly, just to see the treasure that was going to appear on thest disy stand.


    Wu Mo guessed in his heart that thest item in the box could very well be a piece of Legendary equipment, or it could also be an extremely rare material in nature, such as the Core Nectar that the young man had mentioned earlier.


    It was an extremely rare natural product that could only be found in the depths of the earth''s core.


    Once all the conditions were met and after decades of brewing, would the karst cave in the depths of the earth''s core produce this serum?


    Besides the energy contained in the serum was even more powerful than the Legendary Essence.


    In any case, based on Wu Mo''s spection, the graphite ink powder would definitely not be disyed as thest item.


    Although there were many families who wanted to buy it, it was not even as precious as the Legendary Essence. It could only be one of thest ten items in the auction.<sub> </sub>


    The crowd''s discussion continued.


    As the items were presented one by one, most of the people had already participated in the bidding.


    Some of them had confident smiles on their faces.


    Some became hysterical as their faces turned red, while others were indignant and felt that it was a pity that they had missed the treasure.


    During the first 30-odd types of exhibits, a few major families would asionally bid, but the leaders of some financial groups would frequently offer higher prices for some rare materials.


    Wu Mo had already seen many treasures among the more than 30 items on disy.


    Yet, he never made a move. Instead, he waited quietly for grapgite powder to arrive.


    It was not until thest 10 items were up for auction that he finally saw the ck powder in the transparent box as he had wished!


    The ck powder was the graphite powder, an excellent energy-conducting material in nature.


    The market price was 100 grams per serving, and the price fluctuated around one million. If he encountered a chamber ofmerce that had been sealed for a long time and could not sell it, he could buy it at a low price of more than nine hundred thousand.


    However, such an opportunity was hard toe by. Under normal circumstances, it would be more cost a million.


    Neverhteless, Wu Mo knew that it wasn''t very reliable to buy the graphite powder for millions of dors under such circumstances.


    He gad thought that it would be difficult to raise the price of such an item, but Elder Yao Shan''s starting price had already exceeded his expectations.


    "The 40th auction item is the graphite powder. It is used to transmit energy to equipment at the Epic grade and above. It is an extremely rare medium in nature, and Treasure Trove Pavilion only has one in stock. If we miss it, we won''t be able to obtain another one for the next few months."


    Elder Yao Shan lifted up the 100 grams of graphite powder in the ss bottlefor everyone to watch carefully.


    Each of the graphite powder particles was about 0.5 centimeters in size. Even if it weighed 100 grams, it was only the size of half a fist.


    Many cksmiths had never even heard of this thing. Without enough experience, they probably wouldn''t even know how to use it.


    "Auction item, graphite powder. The starting price is £¤1,450,000 million. auction time: 8 minutes, " Elder Yao Shan said in a clear voice.


    Then, he ced the graphite powder on the stage and picked up the small wooden gavel with his right hand. he gently knocked on the gabble signaling the start of the auction.


    There was amotion in the crowd. In fact, most of the people present did not have much idea about graphite powder.


    Only high-level cksmiths would understand the item''s use and value.


    To Wu Mo, £¤1,450,000 was an extremely high price. Although it was still within his eptable range, the starting price was already so high. it might even rise to a few millionter.


    He frowned slightly and chose to remain silent for now. He would make a decision after seeing the situation.


    Just as he was thinking, a man''s voice came from behind him.


    "I''ll pay £¤1,600,000."


    The man was wearing a dark blue robe with six silver auspicious clouds embroidered on his chest. He looked like a cksmith, and the strength symbol on his chest surprised everyone around him.

 Chapter 198 Wu Mo Takes Action

    "I didn''t expect the Deng family to make a move so quickly."


    "They''re really here for the graphite powder. I never thought that such a small lump would be sold for such an expensive price."


    "Let''s wait and see. The surrounding cksmith families will definitely make a move."


    The crowd discussed in low voices. They all wanted to see who would get the graphite powder.


    "It''s just £¤1,600,000. If you want to get this, you''ll have to at least offer some of your family''s fortune. I offer £¤2,000,000."


    A man in smithing clothes had just finished speaking when another voice suddenly sounded.


    Everyone turned their heads and saw an old man and a young man sitting at the edge of the first row.


    The one who had spoken earlier was a youth who was only 20 years old.


    The young man was wearing a light green robe with five stars drawn on his chest, which was quite eye-catching.


    The old man was sitting at the side with a smile, not saying a word.


    The old man was only wearing linen clothes, but no one dared to think that he was just an ordinary old man.


    Most people knew that this old man was the capital''s master cksmith, whose strength was the closest to the seven stars realm.


    His reputation was only a hair''s breadth away from Master Qian''s.


    That was because he had never forged equipment for people outside of his family. However, in terms of strength, Master Qian was still inferior to him.


    It was a surprise that the father of the Qin family patriarch, Qin Yue, would attend the auction.


    Everyone was surprised to see the old man''s face.


    The old man had a kind expression, and his face was full of wrinkles. However, his eyes were extremely deep as if they could see through everything.


    He was wearing a in-colored linen robe. If it were not for the young man''s voice, almost no one would have noticed his existence.


    At that moment, Wu Mo appeared somewhat surprised too. He estimated that the old man''s strength had probably reached the peak of six stars, which was the cultivation level of Principal Qiu in the Divine Arms Academy.


    Although the old man''s clothes did not have any indication of his strength, Wu Mo could sense it based on his intuition.


    "Ha, the Qin family sent a little brat out to do their bidding. I don''t know what he''s thinking. He doesn''t have any manners at all. You want your family''s assets, don''t you? I''ll offer £¤2,300,000."


    The middle-aged man, who was an early-stage six-star cksmith, was a little annoyed that he had been embarrassed in public.


    His tone was urgent, and he immediately responded.


    Following both of their voices, the surrounding cksmith families also made their move, and the price rose.


    The ordinary audience members were happy to see the families fighting over a piece of material.


    Wu Mo was naturally one of the audience members.


    He had only been in the Research Department and had no idea about the other forces in Jingdu.


    Seeing the few great cksmith families appear one after another now, he silently noted it down in his heart.


    Seven minutes had passed since the auction started.


    The price was currently at £¤3,900,000, which was four times the graphite powder''s initial price.


    To Wu Mo, it was definitely not a wise decision to buy a portion of graphite powder at this price.


    If it was not rted to his project, he would have left right away and not wasted any time.


    It was a pity that the best medium for forging the Spirit Wave Sword was graphite powder. Even if he could find a substitute, it would definitely affect the weapon''s effectiveness.<sub> </sub>


    Therefore, he still wanted to buy it even though the price had exceeded his expectation.


    If he changed the medium and the Spirit Wave Sword could not disy its full power, his contribution to the breakthrough of his technique would be unstable.


    After all, a technological breakthrough project was not that easy toplete. It had to reach a level that the entire field of forging had never reached before.


    If the Spirit Wave Sword was not adequately effective, then would all his efforts not have been in vain?


    Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and decided to buy it himself.


    He would look for the leaderster to make up for the money.


    If he lost the right to attend the cksmith''s Annual Exchange Conference because of one or two million, it would not be worth it.


    At that though, his eyes glinted, and he immediately raised his hand. "I''ll pay £¤4,500,000," he said in a deep voice.


    As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding audience members immediately looked at Wu mo in shock.


    The others had assumed that the bidders were those few cksmith families who had been fighting for the item. They did not expect this voice toe from a youth in his 20s sitting in the front row. Moreover, he had offered a price that was a whole £¤600,000 more than the others.


    No one had seen iting.


    At that moment, Elder Yao Shan, who was standing on the stage, nced at the young man who made the bid too.


    There was some doubt in his expression.


    The graphite powder had very limited use. It was usually used in equipment of Epic grade and above.


    Yet, the young man was only in his early 20s, and he was wearing ordinary formal clothes.


    He did not look like a high-level cksmith who could participate in the development of Epic equipment.


    The other families were only fighting for the graphite powder because they wanted to work with the Forest Wolf mercenaries and obtain Core Nectar.


    He could not imagine what the young man was going to do with the graphite powder.


    Who was he? How could he easily call out a price of over £¤4,000,000?


    The audience sitting around Wu Mo had the same questions in their hearts.


    More than four million might not be much for a cksmith family, but the graphite powder''s value was limited. Even though they did not know its use, they knew that it was definitely not a wise move to purchase graphite powder at such a high price unless the boy was extremely rich. Then, he would not care about a few million dors.


    Right then, the three families who had been arguing previously gasped and began to guess which family this young man came from, or which noble''s son he was.


    What was the purpose of his actions?


    However, they had no idea that Wu Mo was just a researcher, and he was only using graphite powder toplete a project.


    There was no other purpose aside from that.


    "Wow, £¤4,600,000 is a high price. I''m afraid it''s enough to buy three sets of graphite powder under normal circumstances."


    "That''s right. it''s hard to imagine how rich a person could be to add another £¤600,000 on top of £¤4,000,000. It''s shocking."


    The crowd was in a heated discussion, and the three cksmith families that were determined to get the graphite powder had to consider whether they should raise the price or not.


    The value of Core Nectar was indeed incredibly high, but the cost of repairing a Legendary item had already exceeded their expectations.


    If the young man intended to continue bidding and buy the graphite powder, they would undoubtedly be at a disadvantage.


    There was only half a minute left before the five-minute auction process began.


    The representatives of the three forging families all fell silent. Although the money they had on them was enough to buy higher-priced items, everything was about the price-performance ratio.

 Chapter 199 Damaged Epic-Grade Equipment

    Instead of spending money on the limited use of the graphite powder, they might as well bet on thest treasure.


    After all, it was an auction house opened by Treasure Trove Pavilion, so Legendary-grade equipment or rare materials would definitely be avable.


    Giving up now was a better choice for them.


    In addition, the members of the three cksmith families kept each other in check. If the graphite powder fell into the hands of one of the families, the others would definitely not be happy to see this happen.


    Right then, the three families had strangely fallen silent.


    No one else made a bid until the end of the five-minute auction.


    As a result, the 100 grams of graphite powder was eventually ced in Wu Mo''s bag.


    When Wu Mo saw the maid in the cheongsam walk toward him, he immediately took out his bank card and swiped it in front of the other audience members.


    Everyone exchanged looks and grew more curious about the young man''s identity. There were not many famous families in the capital, and he had to be one of them for him to be so generous.


    Soon, the bidding for the graphite powder''s 41st round of bidding ended.


    Two maidservants quickly entered through the entrances on both sides of the stage with the following exhibits.


    The crowd could only look away from Wu Mo to see what treasure would appear on the next stage.


    After all, there were only eight exhibits left until the end of the auction, and each of them would only be rarer and more expensive.


    Wu Mo snapped his fingers lightly and stored the graphite powder in his Interspatial Ring.


    Then, he touched his nose and looked at the disy stand calmly.


    To be honest, he was still a little satisfied because £¤4,600,000 was the limit he could ept.


    If he spent more, he might not get permission to ask for military expenses from Academician Xu.


    It did not make sense for a portion of graphite powder to cost £¤4,000,000 to £¤5,000,000.


    There was half an hour left until the end of the auction.


    Since it was still early, he nned to leave after he saw the final item.


    He still wanted to visit the cksmith Guildter to change his four-star cksmith robe and certificate.


    In the blink of an eye, more than 10 minutes had passed.


    At present, the bidding had already reached the 46th round.


    Before that, there had been several precious materials and equipment.


    Wu Mo had spent hundreds of points to appraise them, and it was a sight to behold.


    Some of the Epic equipment had an undeserved reputation, while others lived up to their names. Even he felt that the effects of the equipment were novel.


    Most of the materials were also natural treasures.


    The corpses of the invading races would mostly be used by officials on the battlefield. Only a small portion would end up in the city.


    The Silver Cat that had appeared earlier was the only material from the Ten Thousand Races in the entire auction.


    "The 46th item is a pair of Amethyst Boots. They can provide the wearer with sufficient defense and speed. They are customized, and Treasure Trove Pavilion has already carried out aprehensive appraisal of the boots. Although they are somewhat damaged, they are still genuine Epic-grade equipment. It might be possible to upgrade them to Legendary grade if they''re repaired."


    Elder Yao Shan took out the purple boots from the box, and the next moment, they released a burst of rich purple light, almost forming a visible light wave.


    It spread to the huge auction hall, andthe eyes of all the cksmiths in the auction house lit up.<sub> </sub>


    It was impossible for ordinary Epic equipment to have such a rich light. This urrence was likely a result of severe damage, which caused arge amount of energy to be consumed.


    "Haha, seeing everyone''s anticipation, I''m sure you understand the uniqueness of this equipment. I won''t waste any more of your time. The starting price for these Amethyst Boots is £¤5,100,000!


    Elder Yao Shan''s expression changed slightly when he saw most of the people in the audience.


    Even Qin Yue, the Qin family''s peak six-star cksmith, was roused.


    He did not waste any more time and bid on the equipment straight away.


    Before his bid could echo in the auction hall, another representative of the cksmith families immediately said, "Six million!"


    Once he opened his mouth, he raised the conditions for obtaining the Amethyst Boots. The higher-level cultivators could stillpete over the original price which was a little over £¤5,000,000 if they gritted their teeth.


    However, the second the cksmith family representative opened his mouth, he eliminated them.


    The sullen feeling that filled them made the cultivators curse instantly.


    Wu Mo, who was sitting in the second row, stared at the Amethyst Boots with bright eyes. He wanted to see where the shoes were damaged.


    Perhaps it was because Treasure Trove Pavilion had repaired the surface of the Amethyst Boots, but he could not spot anything even after a long time.


    "Forget it, I''ll just let the system identify the damage."


    Shaking his head helplessly, Wu Mo muttered in his heart.


    [Ding! Equipment appraisalpleted. One hundred points have been consumed. Its attributes are as follows...]


    The next second, the system responded, and all data on the Amethyst Boots appeared before him.


    [Equipment Type: Shoes


    [Equipment Name: Amethyst Boots (damaged)


    [Equipment Grade: Epic


    [System Score: 74 points


    [Equipment Effect: 1. Purple Breath (Continuously condenses purple spirit energy and offsets power when damage is received. Once purple spirit energy is condensed to 100%, it can resist a full-force attack from a peak six-star cultivator; 10% is condensed every hour.)


    [2. Shadowstrike (After activation, the user''s movement speed will increase by 80%. The increase in speed will decrease with time, and the effect canst for a maximum of 10 minutes. Cooldown: 2 hours.)


    [3. Ruthless (all buff effects on enemies within 10 meters will be reduced by 20%, and the duration will be shortened by 30%.)


    [4. Seal Origin (Shoots a wave to seal all the effects on the equipment ites into contact with. Lasts for 10 seconds. Cooldown: 2 days. Note: Unable to seal artifacts. Due to ack of energy, this effect cannot be activated.


    [Array Effect: Tier 2 Profound Spirit Formation (It can sense the position of spirit energy fluctuations within a 200-meter radius.)


    [Equipment Evaluation: This is actually a severely damaged piece of Legendary equipment. Do not attempt to repair it before you reach seven stars. Otherwise, the possibility of it being scrapped is great.]


    Seeing the information andments given by the system, Wu Mo became a little restless.


    The equipment effects attached to this pair of boots were outstanding.


    Whether it was the ability to suppress the enemy''s buffs or the speed and defense provided by the equipment, none of them were effects that ordinary Epic equipment could provide.


    If he could buy it for less than £¤7,000,000, it would definitely be worth it.


    Unfortunately, the surrounding cksmith families were eyeing it covetously, and if he wanted to have it, he would have to pay a huge price.


    However, the condition that only a seven-star smithing master could repair it at the end also gave him a small wave of dissuasion.

 Chapter 200 Another Bid To Shock The Crowd!

    In the entire capital, there was not a single seven-star master cksmith. Even Qin Yue, whose body was halfway in the ground, was only a peak six-star cksmith.


    Therefore, if Wu Mo bought it, he would not be able to activate the Amethyst Boots'' fourth equipment effect for a long time.


    Although it had the ability to nullify equipment, the cost of repairing it was not something he could afford at the moment.


    Even if he had enough money, it would be hard to find a seven-star master.


    Master cksmiths at that level were often the country''s core assets. They preferred to do research in the researchb or bask in the light of their study.


    Once they reached that point, no matter how much money they had, it would just be a worldly possession. They would only pursue power and supreme strength.


    If he could break through to the ten-star realm and reach the level of Full Moon, would it not be wonderful to have his name remembered for 100 generations?


    In short, the Amethyst Boots might never be repaired.


    If he wanted to buy them, he had to focus on the first three effects. He did not need to look at the fourth one.


    "Six million three hundred thousand," the young man sitting next to Qin Yue in the first row said with a smile.


    At that moment, the Qin family''s supreme master, Qin Yue, was leaning back in his chair and looking forward with a nk expression.


    It was as if nothing could pique his interest.


    "How about it? Is there anyone who would like to offer a higher price?"


    The young man in light-colored robes looked back at the crowd with contempt as if he did not care about the matter.


    Although the people who were provoked by his gaze were angry, they could only swallow their rage and pretend that they did not see anything because of his grandfather.


    Peak six stars was a level that they would never be able to reach in their lifetime.


    If they were to go against his grandson in front of him, the consequences would be unimaginable.


    Who knew what kind of connections a peak six-star cksmith had?


    As long as he was willing to spread the word, arge number of six-star cultivators would willingly be hired thugs. They would prepare all the materials and only ask that the master personally worked on the boots.


    After all, even a peak six-star cultivator would want to own Legendary-grade equipment.


    Hence, the young man dared to provoke them without restraint.


    The others could justpletely ignore him.


    Of course, the price of £¤6,300,000 could not be counted with both hands.


    That amount was not something they could achieve through hard work alone, and most of them had a strong background.


    The only ones with enough money to continue bidding were the bosses of famouspanies in the capital, the major cksmith families, and the cultivators, as well as cksmiths, who were at the top of the food chain.


    As for Wu Mo, he had worked with Guangli Trading Center''s boss when he was in college. But he had only umted more than £¤20,000,000 in dividends.


    Someone else would not have possibly earned that much money in the process of studying.


    Therefore, Wu Mo became one of the few people in the auction who could continue raising the price.


    However, Wu Mo was not in a hurry to do so.


    Instead, he was considering his own needs for the Amethyst Boots.


    He would probably be living in the fifth Research Department for a while in the future. Since he was not required to fight yet, he had no need for high defense and speed.


    That meant, if he bought the boots now, he would not be able to use them for a short period of time. He would only be able to disy the boots'' best effect on the battlefield.


    To Wu Mo, the most attractive thing about the Legendary Amethyst Boots was its cost-performance ratio.


    One should know that a piece of Legendary equipment could only be found by chance and not by searching for it. Even a six-star cultivator would find it hard to gather several pieces.


    Moreover, in the Nine Provinces, there was usually a price but no market for it. Often, it would cost more than £¤20,000,000.


    The Amethyst Boots were currently priced at around £¤6,000,000, which was already the highest price for ordinary Epic equipment.


    The reference provided by the system had dissuaded Wu Mo from repairing the equipment since it told him how difficult it would be to repair the equipment.


    So, in his eyes, if he could get the boots for about £¤8,000,000 or less, he would be getting a good bargain. If the price exceeded £¤10,000,000, it would not be worth it.


    It was already extremely difficult to repair Epic equipment, and the Amethyst Boots, due to their severe damage, required a seven-star master cksmith to repair them.


    The cost of repairing them would probably be no less than £¤10,000,000 too.


    Furthermore, the process of repairing them would be highly difficult, and there was the risk of the equipment being scrapped.


    Hence, he set the price threshold at £¤10,000,000.


    If the price went over, it would be very irrational of him to buy.


    "Six million nine hundred thousand," the muscr He family patriarch said with an unfriendly expression.


    He snorted coldly and looked at the young man with a malicious gaze.


    His bid had raised the price of the Amethyst Boots to nearly £¤7,000,000.


    Aside from watching the fun, the crowd had no sense of participation, so they could just discuss the recent development.


    "As expected of the He family, an old cksmith family in the capital. Although the patriarch, He Run, is only middle-aged, his forging skills have already reached the six-star realm in just a few years. Under his leadership, the He family''s future is limitless!


    Everyone was whispering to each other, and as they spoke, they had a look of amusement on their faces.


    "That''s true. He Run isn''t as skilled as Qin Yue, but he''s only middle-aged. He has a lot of time to improve his strength."


    "Not necessarily. The path of forging is the same as the path of cultivating. It all depends on talent and personalprehension. If you don''t have those things, forget 10 years, it will be difficult to break through a certain realm even if you spend your whole life on it.


    The crowd was talking in twos and threes, but at that moment, the sage-like old man was silent. It was as if he had no more money to support his consumption.


    "In that case, I''ll follow with £¤7,000,000," Wu Mo immediately said in a calm tone when he noticed that they did not intend to bid.


    He decided to get involved in the mess.


    After he said that, the gazes of the people around him gradually changed.


    Everyone had already been shocked when Wu Mo bought the graphite powder for £¤4,600,000.


    They had originally spected that Wu Mo might be the son of some aristocratic family. They never thought that he could intervene at this stage of the auction.


    The price of £¤7,000,000 was enough to separate the ordinary nobles from the first-ss families.


    If Wu Mo dared to bid at this time, that meant he definitely had enough money on him!


    It also implied that he must have a super-first-ss family behind him or even a force rted to the mayor''s mansion.


    "Gasp, where did this young mastere from? He''s so generous and has already bid twice. He''s no ordinary man."

 Chapter 201 Psychological Tactics

    "I have to say,pared with this young master, we''re just running around aimlessly. We don''t have any sense of participation at all, except a little in the first half."


    Everyone''s gazes were filled with envy. Although some of them wanted to ridicule him, they would deliberately lower their voices for fear of suffering upon being detected by Wu Mo.


    Seeing this, the He family''s representative, who had bid earlier, was also a little dumbfounded.


    If Wu Mo could bid £¤7,000,000, his strength was definitely not what he had imagined, and there were more things to consider.


    "Could this young man be a cksmith? Otherwise, why would he be interested in such things?"


    He Run found it strange. It was a piece of Epic equipment, which would normally cost around £¤5,000,000. They wanted to buy it at a premium because they hoped that they could repair it one day.


    However, achieving such an oue would undoubtedly require a lot of resources and connections.


    Yet, the situation was unfolding in theplete opposite direction of what he had anticipated. The young man who had obtained the graphite powder was not done. He was also setting his sights on Epic equipment and offering a price that surprised him.


    On the auction stage, Elder Yao Shan looked at the young man who had just bid with a meaningful gaze.


    He felt that if there was a chance in the future, he could get to know him. At such a young age, thetter had amassed a shocking amount of wealth. It was truly a little unbelievable.


    "Interesting. It seems like this trip to the auction wasn''t in vain."


    Right then, the young man sitting in the corner turned his head to look at Wu Mo, who was sitting diagonally behind him. His expression revealed a trace of joy and expectation.


    He seemed to think it was a good thing that Wu Mo had offered a higher price than him.


    "Hey, friend, let''s see who gets the boots!" the young man shouted.


    Then, he raised his hand and smiled. "I bid £¤7,400,000."


    The Qin family''s representative bid more than seven million, and things at the auction heated up to the point that it was as hot as white heat.


    Currently, there were only three parties who were interested in the Amethyst Boots and who could afford to buy them.


    They were the He family''s patriarch, He Run, Wu Mo, and the grandfather and grandson pair from the Qin family.


    Other than that, the rest of the people either did not have enough wealth or did not have the ability to repair the Amethyst Boots. They felt that the damaged equipment was not worth the price.


    In short, one of those three forces would obtain the Epic boots.


    That''s right. In everyone''s eyes, Wu Mo definitely represented a certain force since he could go head-to-head with the two great families. They just did not know which force yet.


    "Seven million eight hundred thousand!


    "You''re courting death!" He Run''s face was filled with anger, as though he felt that he was not standing out in a battle of this level. The prestige of his family was about to be destroyed by the Qin family and this young man who hade out of nowhere.


    The current price indeed made the mysterious young man and the Qin family representative hesitate. Seeing their hesitant expressions, He Run snorted in disdain.


    "You''re not that great. If you can, then raise it to £¤10,000,000."


    Most of He Run''s provocations were directed at the Qin family, but they acted as a warning to Mu Mo at the same time.


    He was implying that if Wu Mo was not capable enough, he should not be getting involved in this mess.


    It was also a form of silent intimidation.


    Witnessing the growing tension between the three, everyone watched the show to find out how this situation would end.


    Wu Mo was somewhat helpless. He only wanted to participate in the auction and had no intention of getting involved in the grudges between the major cksmith families.


    He was not even interested in bidding during the first half of the auction.


    If it were not for his project, he would not have needed to buy the graphite powder.


    This time, however, it was because he felt that the Amethyst Boots'' effects were excellent. He only wanted to buy them because of the price-performance ratio.


    ''Forget it, I won''t exin.''


    Wu Mo sighed internally and stopped thinking about the matter.


    He nned to bid at thest moment. In any case, as long as it was within the bidding period, everyone could bid. He just had to name his price before thest half a minute.


    Rather than increasing it bit by bit, it was better to be thest straw that broke the camel''s back.


    He had already made up his mind. If the price of the boots exceeded £¤10,000,000, he would immediately stop and not take further risks.


    Soon after Wu Mo quieted down, only He Run and the Qin family''s junior were left bidding.


    As they entered thest one and a half minutes, the price passed the £¤9,000,000 mark.


    It was the highest price that the two families could afford. They had been in the field of forging for decades, so they naturally knew the pros and cons.


    Thus, when they got to this point, the range of everyone''s bid went in increments of £¤10,000.


    "Nine million and seventy thousand! Give me ten million if you have what it takes!"


    The young man representing the Qin family was about to curse out loud.


    If it was not for his grandfather, Qin Yue''s, constant warning, he would have offered £¤10,000,000 for it.


    He would no longer be bullied by this bird.


    "Hehe... It''s easy for you to say that. If you''re capable, thene on. Nine million and eighty thousand!"


    At this moment, He Run became calm and rxed, allowing the young man to provoke him, but only retaliating with words.


    He wouldpletely crush his enemy psychologically.


    By now, the mysterious but previously active young man had been silent for a few minutes. He could no longer keep up with the train.


    "There''s only one minute left until the auction for this item ends. Are they going to keep adding £¤10,000 each time?"


    Seeing that the auction for the Amethyst Boots was about to end, the crowd immediately made their guesses.


    Needless to say, it was a war of attrition. In any case, the total price could not exceed £¤9,500,000.


    "I really don''t understand how an Epic piece of equipment could be sold for such a high price. Isn''t it supposed to be worth around £¤5,000,000?"


    "What do you know about forging? These boots were originally Legendary-grade equipment, but they were severely damaged. It only dropped to Epic grade after it lost more than half of its energy. Despite that, it''s still stronger than equipment of the same grade."


    During their discussion, the countdown device on the stage had reached thest 50 seconds.


    Thetest price was £¤9,430,000.


    "Nine million five hundred thousand!"


    Seeing that time was almost up, He Run gritted his teeth and shouted angrily with a red face.


    He mmed the table, and an invisible force spread out rapidly, messing up the hair of those around him.


    It was obvious that he had used his true spirit energy.


    On the other side, the Qin family''s young representative immediately looked at his grandfather, Qin Yue.


    "No more."


    Thetter shook his head slightly, a little disappointed.


    In his opinion, those boots were indeed excellent. Even if he bought them without repairing them, they could be an extrayer of protection for his grandson to wear. However, the current price was no longer suitable for purchase. If he were to raise the price again, it would likely affect the Qin family''s cash flow.

 Chapter 202 Ten Million

    After all, if one were to bid for the item, one would have to pay in person. It was indeed not worth it to spend nearly £¤10,000,000 on a piece of iplete equipment and also to involve the Qin family''sck of funds in the future.


    "Alright..."


    The young man could only sigh dejectedly after getting a clear rejection from his grandfather.


    The other party had raised the bid by such arge amount in one go, clearly wanting to take the boots for himself. Furthermore, he was being such a hothead.


    Even if the young man increased the price by another £¤100,000, he might not be able to obtain the item.


    When the crowd in the auction hall saw that the youth from the Qin family no longer spoke, they immediately understood that He Run would probably be the final winner in the bid.


    Even first-ss families had to deal with this seriously sincerge families did not necessarily have too much money to spare. Most of their money would go into cash flow and be used for the expansion of the family business.


    Therefore, everyone was sure that He Run would have thestugh.


    As for the mysterious young man, he had been eliminated in advance and could no longer do anything.


    "Click, tick... tick."


    There were only 30 seconds left for the auction of the Amethyst Boots and only 10 seconds left before the bidding would stop.


    The entire auction hall had quieted down, and everyone''s eyes were on He Run.


    His tensed heart immediately rxed because he knew that these once Legendary-grade Amethyst Boots would soon be his.


    He had thestugh in this bidding!


    However, just as he was fantasizing about what it would feel like to wear these shoes, which were once Legendary equipment, a familiar voice that was as clear as a stream rang out in the auction hall.


    "Fortunately, the final price is within my expectations. I... bid £¤10,000,000!"


    Wu Mo raised his head, revealing bright and determined eyes. There was even the ghost of a smile at the corner of his mouth. He sounded as if he was talking about something insignificant.


    The scene made the audience in the auction hall widen their eyes in disbelief. They stared at the young man who was sitting in their midst with confidence.


    "Ten million?"


    "Ten million!!"


    It was a number that most of the people present could wrap their heads around.


    Even the boss of thepany, or a first-ss cksmith family, would find it difficult to gather such arge sum of money in a short time.


    However, the young man sitting in the middle of the third row had directly uttered such an unfamiliar number.


    There was the six-star cksmith elder in cotton clothes and the Qin family''s core member, Qin Yue, the representatives sitting beside him, He Run, and Elder Yao Shan who was standing on the stage.


    At this moment, their mouths were slightly agape as they stared at Wu Mo in disbelief.


    The expression in his eyes seemed to be saying,"...I didn''t hear you clearly. Can you say that again?"


    ck.


    The clock on the tform entered thest 25 seconds of the countdown. Right then, He Run suddenly snapped out of horror.


    His face turned purple, and he looked at Wu Mo as if he had seen a ghost!


    He never expected someone to bid £¤500,000 higher than his highest price.


    His feelings of happiness and pride had disappeared without a trace, leaving only shock and fear.


    "Three seconds to the end of the Amethyst Boots'' auction, two seconds..."


    Elder Yao Shan, who was on the stage, also reacted. He looked at the timer, which was about to stop, and immediately gave them a friendly reminder.


    Now, it was not that He Run did not want to bid, but he hadpletely lost the will topete.


    The £¤500,000 that Wu Mo threw out at the end was thest straw that broke his back. It magnified the panic and uneasiness hidden in the depths of his heart.


    In the end, he could no longer remain calm.


    Kringggg!


    The long ringing of a bell resounded, signaling the end of the bidding.


    The people who had been in shock returned to their senses at the same time.


    "F*ck, could this person be the mayor''s son? He actually has the guts to bid £¤10,000,000. This is simply unbelievable!"


    "It''s preposterous. I thought He Run would have thestugh. I didn''t expect it to be the young man who bought the graphite powder."


    "I must be going crazy. Epic equipment being sold for such a high price? I''m not dreaming, am I?"


    "Who would have thought that the young man would have thestugh? The He and Qin families are certainly feeling somewhat ashamed."


    The crowd was so shocked by the scene that they almost jumped up.


    He Run, who had been enjoying the crowd''s attention, was now a little embarrassed.


    He clenched his fists so tightly that his facial features became distorted, and his expression indicated that he was even more unwilling to give up.


    If he had lost to the Qin family under such circumstances, he would have still found it eptable. After all, the Qin family was the head of the three great cksmith families, and their financial resources were even more robust.


    However, he could not ept losing to a young man in his early 20s.


    "Ten million going once, going twice..."


    Elder Yao Shan was also incredibly excited while standing on the stage.


    "Alright, congrattions to the young man for winning the Epic-grade Amethyst Boots for £¤10,000,000. Let''s give him a round of apuse!"


    Since the oue had already been decided, Yao Shan did not wait for time to be up before he announced the winner.


    Then, the most beautiful maid standing behind the elder took the gift box with the boots and walked straight to Wu Mo.


    Another person walked over with a card-swiping machine in hand.


    Everyone''s eyes followed the beautiful maidens before they finally turned to Wu Mo.


    He Run stared at Wu Mo too, wanting to see if he could produce that much money.


    Although the consequences of cing a false bid in the building were very serious, He Run still grabbed onto this life-saving straw. He felt that the young man might not be able to produce so much money.


    If that happened, the item would go to the second-highest bidder ording to the rules of the auction.


    Some of the other audience members in the auction hall also had the same intention. They felt that the young man was too young and could not produce so much money.


    After all, he had already spent £¤4,600,000. No amount of wealth could allow him to spend that much!


    "Sir, please appraise the equipment before you make the payment," the beautiful maid standing at the side gently said in Wu Mo''s ear.


    Hearing her melodious voice, Wu Mo''s move instantly improved. Butpared with the others who inadvertently revealed lecherous expressions, he was a better gentleman.


    "No problem," he said.


    Wu Mo took the gift box and used the system''s appraisal function again. Once he determined that the attributes and value were the same, he immediately stored it in his Interspatial Ring.


    There was a limit to what the human eye could see, and even the best appraiser was not as reliable as the system.


    Wu Mo took out a private bank card from Shanglin City and the maidservant beside him epted it instantly.


    Then, Wu Mo entered the password in front of everyone.


    Di di di di zi...


    A green light shed on the card reader, and it swiftly printed out a white ticket.

 Chapter 203 Impulsive Spending

    He Run was like a deted ball once he saw what happened. Only despair and unwillingness were left on his face.


    The rest of the audience members were also dumbfounded when they saw the ticket printed out.


    He could spend £¤10,000,000 so easily. Wu Mo''s financial resources were even more impressive than that of mostpany CEOs.


    He had a total of nearly £¤15,000,000 in savings in one bank card. Everyone present felt that they would not be able to gather so much money in a short time.


    The shock that Wu Mo had brought to them was truly too massive. In the entire capital, those who could achieve the same as him were basically people they looked up to¡ªthe small group at the top of the pyramid.


    "Thank you, Sir, for your support of Treasure Trove Pavilion." The petite maid bowed to Wu Mo and spoke with a smile.


    Wu Mo waved his hand, and the two beautiful maids immediately turned and left.


    "I''m really getting away with it this time. I spent nearly £¤15,000,000 in an hour. I won''t be visiting such ces again."


    Touching the smooth surface of his silver ring, Wu Mo''s heart ached.


    There was basically no ce in the Research Department that required him to spend money. He had finally gotten used to that feeling, but the moment he stepped into Treasure Trove Pavilion, he almost ran out of money.


    Even though the Amethyst Boots were something he liked, he still could not afford to buy them at such a high price.


    He had been a little impulsive with his spending.


    As Wu Mo thought about it, he sighed and subconsciously raised his head to look around. He realized that everyone around him was looking at him, and their eyes were filled with fear.


    "Uh... It seems I''ve been misunderstood again."


    Wu Mo turned around and looked at the tform.


    Themotion in his surroundings gradually died down as the 49th auction was still in progress on stage.


    The 49th exhibit was a small copper furnace.


    Its exterior was exquisitely decorated with a golden dragon carved on the surface. The dragon''s whiskers and ws werepletely visible. Meanwhile, the golden dragon''s eyes were wide open, and it had a ferocious look on its face. Its domineering aura permeated the entire ce as if it was about to rush out of the furnace.


    The furnace was also covered in cloud patterns small. It had small handles, and there were ten fire vents on its surface. Although it was small, it had all the essentials!


    It was obvious that this furnace had been specially prepared for high-level cksmiths.


    While the space inside the furnace was notrge, the upper limit of its temperature was close to 3,000 degrees. Among all the manmade cauldrons that Wu Mo had seen, it was considered very good.


    "This is the Golden Dragon Cloud Cauldron. It has a maximum temperature of 2,950 degrees, and it can adjust its temperature up to 20 degrees. Its 10 fire vents ensure precise control of the temperature inside the furnace. It has all the necessary functions."


    Elder Yao Shan carried the copper furnace onto the tform and introduced it with a smile.


    As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Wu Mo, who was not far away. He seemed to be asking if there were still any bids for the cauldron this time.


    With his sharp eyes, Yao Shan could tell that the young man who had spent almost £¤15,000,000 was definitely the son of a general in the mayor''s faction.


    He could tell that the young man was a cksmith based on his preferences. In that case, a good cauldron would be immensely attractive to every cksmith.


    Therefore, Yao Shan believed that the mysterious young man would continue to participate in the auction.


    However, his guess was destined to fail, because Wu Mo''s need for the furnace had been reduced to the minimum.


    The system''s own forging space was equipped with a Premium-grade furnace. Not only did it have 14 fire ports that could be controlled, but the temperature threshold could also be adjusted urately to about 10 degrees.


    Most importantly, the furnace could be upgraded in the future. As long as he could break through to the realm of a six-star cksmith, he would definitely be able to upgrade it to Epic grade.


    Once that happened, there would not be many manmade cauldrons in the entire capital city that could achieve an equally powerful effect.


    Moreover, there was a two-meter-tall furnace in the Interspatial Ring on his finger that could melt the materials. This already satisfied his needs.


    However, when the other cksmiths saw the Golden Dragon Cloud Cauldron on stage, their eyes almost popped out. Good furnaces were very rare even in the capital.


    A handcrafted furnace would require powerful forging skills. Unless one had reached seven stars, it would be difficult toplete.


    Therefore, most of the cksmithscked a furnace of excellent quality.


    As a result, the many cksmiths in the audience were waiting for Elder Yao Shan to begin the bid. Those who wanted to buy the furnace would definitely cause a bloodbath during the auction.


    With so many people in need, the high-quality furnace would definitely be able to sell for a higher price than usual.


    "The 49th item, the Golden Dragon Cloud Cauldron. will start at £¤200,000."


    Elder Yao Shan saw that everyone was getting impatient, so he quickly picked up the small gavel and hit it.


    The next second, the cksmiths fought to be the first to bid.


    Right then, the He family patriarch, He Run, finally regained some of his spirit.


    The grandfather and grandson from the Qin family, who were sitting in the first row, remained silent. It appeared that they did not think highly of this Premium-grade furnace.


    "I bid £¤6,000,000!" the old man in in clothes shouted.


    However, less than five seconds after he finished speaking, someone else ced a higher bid.


    Being part of the cksmiths'' livelihood, the furnace had a stronger audience than the previous auction items.


    Among those bidding, some were bosses ofpanies who wanted to use this Premium-grade furnace as theirpany''s equipment to increase their production.


    Their voices rose and fell, while Wu Mo sat quietly in his original position. He only wanted to see what thest item would be.


    Going off the current starting price, the final item''s starting price would definitely exceed £¤6,000,000.


    As for whether it was equipment or materials, he had no idea.


    The audience members who had no business bidding were also waiting for the final moment toe in hopes of gaining some knowledge.


    In the blink of an eye, a few minutes had passed. At this point, the price of the cauldron had already reached the £¤8,000,000 mark.


    There were only three to five familiar faces left who could still participate in the bidding.


    "I''m afraid the price of this high-quality furnace will exceed £¤10,000,000."


    Wu Mo''s eyes drooped slightly as he silently made an estimate in his heart.


    The price of a good furnace was indeed not low, but if it was ced in the auction house, it could reach a higher price. Treasure Trove Pavilion''s n was really good.


    With only one and a half minutes left, the price of the Premium-grade furnace exceeded £¤10,000,000 as Wu Mo had expected.


    The Qin family did not intend on participating, so the present highest bidder was He Run, the representative of the He family.


    At this moment, He Run was like a mad dog protecting its food, staring with blood-red eyes. If anyone dared to step forward and snatch his "food," he would tear off that person''s flesh.


    He still had that confident look on his face from earlier.


    The one who had caused him to have such a mental breakdown was Wu Mo since Wu Mo had attacked twice to snatch his treasure.

 Chapter 204 The Legendary Weapon

    Everyone shook their heads silently when they saw that He Run had almost lost his mind.


    After all, the He family was one of the most influential families in the capital.


    They were famous for their excellent forging skills.


    However, the He family''s patriarch, He Run, had acted so irrationally in front of everyone, embarrassing the He family.


    Nevertheless, without the Qin family''s resistance, the He family still managed to sessfully obtain the Premium-grade furnace at the price of £¤10,900,000.


    Of course, the cost almost emptied the treasury He Run had prepared for this auction.


    The people watched as He Run put the small copper cauldron into his sack and paid with his card.


    The crowd immediately shifted their attention to the stage.


    By now, more than two hours had passed since the start of the auction and there were only a dozen minutes left before the end. Obviously, the people of Treasure Trove Pavilion had left these ten minutes for the final treasure.


    Wu Mo immediately perked up, and the audience members subconsciously raised their heads too, since they wanted to see what the final treasure was.


    On the stage, Elder Yao Shan had a faint smile on his face.


    "I think everyone has been looking forward to the final item of this auction for a long time. I can guarantee that thest item will definitely be worth the two-hour wait."


    After Elder Yao Shan finished speaking, he immediately beckoned the people behind him.


    In a sh, the five-star cultivators who were standing behind the elder began to move.


    They all walked to the four corners of the stage, reached out, and held protruding stone pirs.


    The four stone pirs were half the height of a person, and there were many obscure runes carved on their surface.


    As the four people held the stone pirs in their palms, the spirit power in their bodies immediately flowed into the stone pirs.


    A burst of white light surged from the stone pirs and gathered toward Elder Yao Shan, who was standing at the center.


    The white rays of light continued to gather gradually, and in the end, it was as if a jade bowl had been flipped over the stage. Itpletely separated the stage from the audience.


    "I''m sorry but the next item will be in a disy case because it is too expensive. To prevent any misconduct, I have to follow the rules," Elder Yao Shan immediately exined to the crowd after the formation waspletely activated.


    The audience members who often attended the auctions were already used to it.


    After all, with Treasure Trove Pavilion''s size, the final exhibits would always be very precious even if they held an auction every week.


    Setting up an array was an understandable matter.


    The young cultivators standing at the four corners of the stage slowly moved their hands away from the stone pirs and immediately returned behind Elder Yao Shan.


    Everyone''s eyes were filled with anticipation. Just when Wu Mo could not wait any longer, an extremely beautiful woman walked out from the entrance to the podium''s right.


    The woman was holding a red sandalwood box in her hand, and a faint orange light was peeking out of the gaps. The pupils of most audience members immediately began to shrink.


    Orange light meant that the next item was of Legendary grade.


    Whether it was a weapon or defensive equipment, no one knew yet.


    "As expected of this treasure-gathering dragon. even though it only opens once a week, there''s always Legendary equipment for sale!"


    "I''ll go now! I didn''t wait for more than two hours in vain. I''ve finally seen the real thing!"


    "The Premium-grade furnace was sold for nearly £¤11,000,000. Doesn''t that mean that this Legendary equipment is going to be sold for £¤20,000,000?"


    "This time, the only one who can still bid is probably the Qin family."


    "Don''t be so sure. The audience members participating in the auction are a mix of good and bad. Do you really think that only the Qin family is here for the final treasure?"


    The crowd was in a heated discussion, and Wu Mo was a little excited too.


    Legendary equipment was extremely rare in the entire Nine Provinces, and he had only seen a few of them in such a long time.


    In addition to the zed Heart-protecting Mirror that Principal Qiu had carried with him at the Divine Arms Academy, there were only a few pieces that Wu Mo had seen in the exhibition area of the Research Department''s internal reference room.


    If even he had only seen a few of them, what of those who had never had the opportunity toe into contact with the field of forging?


    Therefore, when Elder Yao Shan ced the box containing the Legendary equipment on the stage, everyone''s eyes were focused on it.


    Then, Elder Yao Shan gently opened the box before their gaze.


    The next moment, a thick orange light shot out in all directions, dyeing the surrounding walls orange.


    A strange wave of air spread out in all directions, instantly engulfing the entire audience section.


    Many people''s bodies swayed due to the impact of the st. Some of them were weaker, so their faces even turned pale.


    However, Wu Mo did not waver at all. Instead, he stared at the Legendary equipment with bright eyes.


    The rectangr red sandalwood box was soon ced on the smooth and t stage.


    Within it was a short silver spear.


    The short spear was 185 cm in length, and the tip of the spear glowed with a cold light. There were circles of runes, as well as magic array patterns, on its slender body, and an iid red gem at the end. The whole thing was extremely exquisite. Even an ordinary person who did not know much about forging could tell that this item was extraordinary.


    The spear''s appearance instantly stunned everyone. They did not expect the Legendary equipment to be a spear!


    The valuation of Legendary equipment usually varied greatly, and weapons tended to be the most valuable.


    This was because the difficulty of casting a Legendary weapon was the greatestpared with other equipment. Moreover, one needed to consider the problem of absorbing spirit energy when forging a weapon, so it cost much higher than other items. Most importantly, the casting of a weapon required a longer time.


    Following that was Legendary-grade armor.


    The value of armor could be ranked as follows: Breastte, helmet, shoes, essories, and so on.


    A weapon''s value could be more than twice that of an essory of the same quality.


    As for the price difference between armor and weapons, it was about 20%.


    Consequently, when the crowd saw that the final item on disy was actually a Legendary-grade weapon, they were shocked.


    All of them widened their eyes.


    A Legendary weapon was usually worth more than £¤20,000,000, and only a few people in the auction hall were qualified to bid for it.


    Even so, it still did not stop others from yearning for Legendary weapons.


    When the ordinary audience members saw the legendary weapon, they were extremely excited.


    Even most cksmiths would find it hard to see equipment of this level, let alone those who did not know much about cksmithing.


    Looking at the spear in the red sandalwood box, Wu Mo''s heart stirred slightly.


    His brows drooped a little, and he simultaneously chanted in his heart, ''Equipment appraisal.''


    [Equipment appraisalpleted. One hundred points have been consumed. The equipment''s attributes are as follows...]

    [Equipment Evaluation: This is a piece of work with highly unified effects. Its internal energy is stable, and itsposition is ingenious. One could say that it is a work of art. Estimated Value: £¤17,000,000.]


    "Gasp."


    Wu Mo could not help but gasp when he saw the high evaluation that the system panel had given to the spear.


    In his memory, he could count the number of equipment that the system had praised with his fingers. This spear undoubtedly seemed good to him, but the system''s evaluation was still beyond his expectations.


    "This is a little tricky."


    Wu Mo touched his chin, and a smile appeared on his face.


    The system''s valuation of the weapon was already at £¤17,000,000. The auction house would probably increase by a few dozen percent.


    Next, he would have to see who was richer among those who had specificallye for this weapon.


    People loved just watching the show.


    Compared with before, the atmosphere in the auction hall was much more rxed.


    The audience members looked around, and most of themnded their gaze on the Qin family''s grandfather and grandson.


    That was because the Qin family was the onlypetitor on the surface. The rest were still in hiding.


    "Elder Yao Shan, name your price."


    "That''s right, it''s time."


    "Let those big bosses hurry up on stage so that we can broaden our horizons."


    The crowd below the stage was in an uproar because there were only ten minutes left until the end of the auction. In a little while, they would have to walk away, and they could not leave any regrets in such a ce.


    "Hehe, everyone, don''t be anxious. We''ve already sat here for so long. A few more moments won''t make much of a difference."


    Elder Yao Shan took out the spear from the box and introduced it proudly.


    "This spear is called Frost, and we spent a lot of money to purchase it. It has the effects of slowing down your enemy''s speed, AoE attacks, and 100% blocking attacks. It alsoes with a Tier 3 magic array and Tier 2 runes, which canpletely freeze your enemy in close proximity. The spear''s body is 1.85 meters long, and the materials used are excellent. even if they''re used in other weapons of the same grade, they would still be excellent."


    Elder Yao Shan spoke unhurriedly.


    However, the crowd below the stage could not wait anymore.


    "Elder Yao Shan, don''t keep us in suspense. Hurry up and tell us the price. Even if we can''t afford it, we can at least hear it."


    "It''s useless. I can afford it, but I''m not interested in this weapon."


    "If you don''t have the money, just say it. What''s your point? I hate people who are stubborn the most."


    The crowd below the stage was in disarray as all kinds of curses mixed together.


    Boom!


    Elder Yao Shan furrowed his brows a little. He held the wooden gavel in his hand and knocked it lightly on the stage. The next moment, a muffled sound rang out, and it promptly dispersed the surrounding sound waves.


    The entire ce instantly fell silent.


    "If anyone intentionally disrupts the order in this auction house, you will bear the consequences."


    Yao Shan''s voice was deep and powerful.


    He swept his fiery gaze across the crowd, and when he determined that there was no more noise in the auction hall, he gradually returned to normal.


    ? No one dared to make a fuss, and Wu mo looked at the stage in a daze.


    The wooden gavel that Elder Yao Shan used had so many effects. It appeared that forging techniques could not only be applied to weapons, but also to ordinary items.


    "The price for the Legendary weapon, Frost, will start at £¤13,000,000."


    Elder Yao Shan''s lips moved slightly as he announced the weapon''s starting price.


    The crowd looked around, wondering if there was still a chance to bid despite knowing the high price.


    The auction hall became much quieter, and the Qin family''s young representativezily said, "It looks like no one else has spoken. In that case, I''ll be the first one to try. I bid £¤14,000,000!"


    There was a proud smile on the young man''s face, and he looked at the crowd with contempt.


    In his opinion, most of the people present in the auction were at the bottom of the barrel. The asional betrothal gift was no match for his wealth.


    "Fourteen million? the Qin family''s representative is too fierce."


    "As expected of the Qin family, the head of the capital''s three great cksmith families. In terms of wealth, the other two families can''tpare to them no matter what."


    "Now that the He family has taken an early step back, who else can stillpete with the Qin family?"


    All kinds of voices filled Wu Mo''s ears. At this point, Wu Mo already intended to leave.


    He had seen Treasure Trove Pavilion''s final treasure, so he was not interested in who would end up with it.


    It was morning when he came out earlier, but now it was already past 11 o''clock.


    He would have to eat somethingter and head to the cksmith Guild to update his certificate. By the time everything was done, it would probably be five or six o ''clock in the evening if he included the time it would take to return.


    If he dawdled further, would the day not pass him by?


    At that thought, Wu Mo immediately stood up.


    He had learned the rules of the auction house from Treasure Trove Pavilion''s manager before joining, but the man never stated that one had to sit until the end of the auction.


    Therefore, he was allowed to leave early.


    Wu Mo''s sudden rise immediately attracted the attention of seven or eight people around him, though.


    They thought that Wu Mo was going to participate in the auction again, and their eyes quickly widened.


    Before they could say anything, they realized that Wu Mo was walking toward the exit.


    Wu Mo''s actions attracted the attention of many people. Seeing that his figure was about to leave through the exit, everyone immediately began to specte.


    They wanted to know why he was in such a hurry to leave.

 Chapter 206 Ranking Test

    Some said that he was worried that he would be remembered after going out.


    Others thought that the young man was just a buyer, hence he was about to go back to give his report.


    However, the interlude caused by Wu Mo ended very quickly.


    During this time, Elder Yao Shan only nced at the exit and did not say anything.


    The auction for the Legendary weapon was still going on, and the price had already risen to £¤18,000,000.


    Meanwhile, Wu Mo left Treasure Trove Pavilion under the watchful eyes of several receptionists.


    There were a few rental cars parked at the corner of the road outside the main entrance. Wu Mo quickly walked up to them and headed straight for the cksmith Guild.


    Wu Mo had seen some new things in this auction and gained a general understanding of the forces in the capital.


    It was just that spending more than £¤10,000,000 pained him a little.


    He nned to study the Amethyst Boots once he returned to see which parts were damaged.


    As for the cksmith Guild that he was visiting, it was also a government organization.


    Its purpose was to register the information of all the cksmiths in Nine Provinces.


    This was to ensure thepleteness of the forging system while making it easier to manage.


    Furthermore, the cksmith Guild would contact every cksmith on a regr basis to update their information and distribute their benefits.


    If you would like to contact a cksmith you have only met a few times, the guild would be the best source of help.


    About ten minutester, his taxi stopped at the side of the road.


    Before Wu Mo got out of the car, he saw a slightly old building in the middle of the street.


    The outer walls of the building were dark brown in color, and its architectural style was very different from the surrounding steel jungle.


    The building only had three floors, but it covered a vast area.


    There were peopleing and going through the gates, giving it an extremely lively look.


    There were also a few red words written in the ancient style on the top floor of the building.


    "The cksmith Guild."


    Wu Mo paid the driver, got out of the taxi, and immediately went up to the guild.


    After presenting the relevant documents, he entered the guild hall easily.


    The guild hall was spacious, as well as bright, and many men and women in cksmith clothes could be seen walking around.


    Their skills were mostly around the level of three to four stars. asionally, one could see an older cksmith who had reached the five-star realm.


    Seeing the young man in in clothes walk into the hall, a staff member swiftly approached him and gently asked, "Hello, Sir, how can I help you?"


    "I would like to get a cksmith star rating."


    Wu Mo stopped in his tracks and directly stated the purpose of his trip.


    After the girl in the overalls heard Wu Mo''s words, she immediately looked at him with a serious expression.


    "Alright,e with me."


    The girl bowed slightly and immediately led the way after she invited him in.


    Wu Mo followed the staff member from behind and looked around at this guild in Jingdu.


    After passing through the guild hall, the two of them soon entered a long corridor. There were chirping birds, fragrant flowers, a good view, and various office buildings, as well as some extremely modern equipment on either side of the corridor.


    Of course, many of the people who passed by cast curious looks at Wu Mo too.


    After a short while, Wu Mo was brought to the relevant area within the guild.


    The guild''s inner court had a beautiful environment and covered arge area. Wu Mo was now standing outside the assessment building.


    He watched as thedy in work clothes conversed with the inspectors outside the assessment building.


    A few minutester, Wu Mo was allowed to enter the assessment area for the test.


    "Little brother, you''re quite lucky. Our guild master is already inside making preparations for the assessment. Otherwise, you would''ve had to wait for at least a few more hours. Hurry on inside."


    The one who spoke was a young examiner in his 30s. He looked at Wu Mo as if he was a junior.


    Wu Mo nodded and thanked him before he pushed the door open and quickly went inside.


    "Alright, I won''t trouble you and interrupt your work any further."


    The receptionist at the front waved goodbye to the examiner and left.


    On the other side, Wu Mo entered the inspection area.


    It was a five-story building, and each floor was about a thousand meters wide.


    The ce that tested a cksmith''s strength was the hall on the first floor of the assessment building.


    ? A majority of the area in the hall was used for the test. Aside from the podium, the other ces were surrounded by curtains to ensure that there was no cheating during the test.


    At this moment, there were more than a dozen young people standing in the test area, and they were talking to each other about the test that was about to begin.


    There were two invigtors sitting next to the podium. Once the test began, they would check everything from the cksmiths'' sewing and cutting techniques to steel forging and fire control techniques, as well as the quality of their prototypes.


    "Hey, why aren''t the two elders here yet? It''s almost 12 o''clock."


    "Now that you''ve mentioned it, I''m a little hungry," agolden-haired youth in a light blue smithing suit chimed in.


    Most of them were about the same age, with only a one or two-year gap.


    Just like Wu Mo, they looked to be in their 20s.


    "Hey, look, there''s someone else taking the test today."


    While the dozen or so people were talking, one of them suddenly nced at the door. He had originally wanted to see if the elders had arrived, but he discovered that a new cksmith hade in to prepare for the test.


    Although this new cksmith was not wearing cksmith clothes, the fact that he was qualified to enter showed that he had a certificate and was recognized as a cksmith in the Nine Provinces. His strength should be above two stars as well.


    "Yeah, didn''t the elders say that we could start the test once we have ten people? Why are there so many people this time?"


    "I''m not sure. It''s almost 12 o''clock now. The judging elders should be here by now," a slightly chubby young man with a t nose said.


    Wu Mo made his way to the test area and deliberately kept a certain distance from the dozen people. He looked at the decor around him.


    The books on the bookshelves, a hat on the bar counter, and the tree branches shaking outside the window were all his objects of observation.


    A few minutester, it was 12 o''clock.


    Right then, someone finally pushed the still door after a long time, and two older middle-aged men entered in a hurry.


    "Lian Chun, it''s all your fault for insisting on drinking two sses. Otherwise, we wouldn''t have beente!"


    The first man who came in looked to be about 50 years old. He was wearing a dark blue schr''s suit. His hair was a little gray, but he had a tall figure.


    He also had sharp eyes, and his movements were quite natural as he walked through the door. However, when he saw the students waiting, his muscles immediately tensed up, and he spoke to the man behind him in a helpless tone.


    The man he called Lian Chun looked older. Thetter had clear wrinkles on his face and some ck moles scattered around, giving him a more aged appearance.

 Chapter 207 A Small Test

    However, he had better hair density than the first person who came in.


    When Wu Mo saw the two of them, he only knew one thing: These two who had appeared before them were definitely the elders whom the young men had been anticipating.


    Nevertheless, the two of them seemed a little unreliable to him.


    They werete for the test, after all. Who knew if the two of them would be reliable elsewhere?


    Anyway, Wu Mo did not have to worry about that. As long as he could exert 80% of his usual skills, it would not be a problem for him to pass the five-star test.


    The fact that he couldplete such sophisticated work such as the Invisibility Armor was enough to prove that Wu Mo had extraordinary abilities in various fields.


    "Teachers, you''re finally here!" the anxious young men immediately said with joy.


    "There''s no need to call us teachers. We''ve never taught you anything. Just call us judges."


    Lian Chun waved his hand and corrected him.


    However, the students did not seem to buy it and continued. " Mr. Lian Chun, you are our teacher, just like Mr. Ai Bo. You are more than qualified to be our teacher with your six-star cultivation.


    "Alright, Lian Chun, don''t waste your time on these little guys. Let''s hurry up and start the test," Ai Bo urged as he fiddled with the device.


    "Very well... All the cksmiths who are preparing to take the ranking test, please enter the testing area immediately." Lian Chun pouted.


    Although he was annoyed with the old man ordering him around, he still instructed them ordingly.


    The young men who had been waiting for a long time promptly walked to the testing area and approached some work tables covered by curtains.


    Wu Mo picked a corner seat and walked over unhurriedly.


    Ai Bo subconsciously raised his head to look at Wu Mo. He noticed that this seemingly anti-social young man was much more mature than the others.


    After the 14 cksmiths had taken their seats, the two invigtors immediately stood up.


    "The ranking test held by the capital''s cksmith Guild and judged by the six-star cksmiths, Ai Bo and Lian Chun, officially begins now!" one of the invigtors said in a clear voice.


    At the same time, Lian Chun, who was standing on the judging tform, smiled and immediately took out a fist-sized timer from a table.


    "Although everyone here has already taken the state test several times, I still have to remind everyone of the rules.


    "The next ranking test will begin with one star and so on and so forth. The test will only end once everyone is unable to continue further. Any cheating or vition of the rules during the test will result in immediate disqualification. You will be banned from taking this test and obtaining the cksmith''s certificate for half a year. I hope that everyone will behave and not ruin their future today."


    Lian Chun''s voice was a little hoarse, but it was unusually calm, enough for everyone to hear him clearly.


    Wu Mo, who was standing in front of the testing tform in the corner, immediately smiled after he heard the rules.


    He had tried to use his spirit power to prate the curtains around him, only to discover that a magic circle had been set up around him. It could sense energy fluctuations in its surroundings.


    Once he used his spirit power or spirit energy, he would instantly be detected.


    That meant if he wanted to cheat, he would have to use physics.


    However, the two invigtors were patrolling the testing area alternately. They would even enter the workstation asionally to check if any prohibited operations were being carried out. Under such circumstances, no one had the opportunity to cheat.


    "Now, we''ll conduct the one-star ranking test. All cksmiths, please forge the silver ore on the table to a hardness of 60 and above within 10 minutes. During this period, you can only use the materials already prepared on the work table."


    Lian Chun, who was standing on the stage, looked around and started the timer in his hand right away as he spoke.


    A momentter, the sound of a countdown resounded throughout the entire testing area.


    The young cksmiths who were taking the test immediately began to smelt the metal, each of them wearing a rxed expression.


    The test for the one-star rank was too easy. The silver ore itself already had a hardness score of 45. As long as it was forged a little more firmly and melted into an alloy with some materials that could increase hardness, it would undoubtedly hit 60 points.


    In the corner of the testing field, Wu Mo pulled out a chair and sat down. Then, he immediately pressed the switch to start the furnace.


    After that, he leisurely picked up the one kilogram of silver ore and observed it for a moment before he threw it into the fire.


    A few minutes before the furnace heated up, he began to pick out the materials he would useter.


    In the lower right corner of the workbench, there were a few grooves that contained the items that he needed for the test.


    There were eight types of setting agents, nickel fragments, pine powder, carbon powder, and so on.


    Most of them could increase the metal''s surface hardness. Only some would be useless or give the opposite effect.


    One could say that as long as one had read the relevant theoretical books, one could distinguish the actual effects of the items.


    Meanwhile, the two invigtors began to patrol the testing area. asionally, they would lift the curtain to see the cksmiths'' forging process.


    However, since the task for the one-star ranking was too simple, most of them had already entered the final stages of forging and were almost done with shaping.


    Soon, the 10 minutes were up.


    All the cksmiths took the silver they had just cast and walked up to the two judges.


    There were many relevant instruments on the judging table, including aputer to record and update everyone''s results.


    "Sir, here you go."


    The first young man confidently handed over the rectangr piece of silver in his hand.


    Lian Chun took it with a nk expression and immediately ced it into the testing machine.


    Beep beep beep beep. [Hardness: 71]


    The results quickly appeared on the device, and the first young man passed the test without a hitch.


    In just over a minute, most people were done with their assessment.


    Their silver ingots were all processed, with the weakest scoring 68 and the strongest scoring close to 80.


    "Next. Please wait at the side for the next cksmith to finish the test and don''t make any noise," Lian Chun reminded.


    Wu Mo immediately handed over a rough piece of silver.


    Beep beep beep beep. [Hardness: 91]


    The results of the test made the cksmiths who had already finished the test look at Wu Mo with a hint of confusion. They did not know what he had done to actually increase the hardness of the silver ore to such a high level.


    "Yes, you pass. Everyone, take a two-minute break. We will begin the two-star test immediately after.


    Ai Bo pushed his sses up and looked at Wu Mo in surprise.


    He was merely curious.


    In their field, the improvement of a metal''s hardness was the foundation of forging, and it was regarded as a cornerstone of a cksmith''s skill tower.

 Chapter 208 Purification Test

    His high score of over 90 only meant that he had a solid foundation.


    However, the young men who had passed the test had a different opinion of Wu Mo''s operation.


    "Tsk, how boring. You''re ying around with a silver ingot?"


    "It''s to attract the elder''s attention. He must have synthesized many kinds of metals."


    "Let''s wait and see. He won''t be able toplete the three-star or four-star ranking test so easily. By then, it will be clear who has better skills."


    One of the young men with delicate features looked at Wu Mo with a hint of disdain as he spoke.


    The people around them stole a few nces at Wu Mo too. They felt that thetter was a strange person.


    While the young cksmiths were waiting, the two invigtors immediately entered each test slot and collected all the materials, preparing to start the second round of the test.


    Soon, the materials for the second round of testing were ced on everyone''s work desk.


    Seeing that everything was ready, Elder Ai Bo, who was sitting on the judging panel, immediately announced in a muffled voice, "Alright, everyone, go back to your positions and prepare for the second test."


    Everyone immediately returned to their previous stations. Wu Mo pulled open the curtain and looked at the two materials on the work table. He instantly understood what the test for the two-star rank was.


    Just then, Elder Ai Bo''s voice rang outside.


    "The second stage will now begin. All cksmiths, please melt the two materials in front of you into liquid within 10 minutes."


    Elder Ai Bo''s voice reverberated in the testing area, apanied by the clicking sound of the timer.


    The cksmiths who were taking part in the test began to process the materials.


    Wu Mo was no exception. He lit up the furnace and immediately looked at the two materials in front of him.


    The Iron Bone Leaf was amon green nt that grew in no man''snd. Perhaps it was due to the influence of spirit power, but the trunk of the Iron Bone Tree would grow stronger and stronger until it reached more than three meters in height.


    The leaves that grew on its branches were all hundreds of square centimeters in size,rger than an adult''s palm. Moreover, the leaves were extremely resistant to heat, often melting at more than 2,500 degrees Celsius.


    However, due to its wide range of uses, many chambers ofmerce would sell the juice of the Iron Bone Leaves, which no longer required calcinating.


    The other material was the Ice Pistil Flower. It was as white as a blooming Epiphyllum and was particrly beautiful. This material was mostly used to bnce energy or applied to clothes to keep them dry in the summer.


    Its ability to remain cool in the summer meant that it was particrly intolerant to high temperatures, with a melting point of only 50 degrees.


    Everyone knew what these two items indicated.


    The Iron Bone Leaf needed to be calcined for at least eight minutes because of its tolerance to high temperatures. By then, the furnace would overheat, and it would be impossible to melt the Ice Pistil Flower.


    Therefore, they had to put the two materials into the melting at the same time in the beginning. Then, they needed to adjust the temperature and calcinate them to remove all impurities.


    Temperature control was the test for the two-star rank.


    Of course, to those young people who had been born into good families, this was not a problem at all.


    Seeing that the furnace had started working, Wu Mo immediately put the two materials into the calcining vessel.


    After that, he began to control the mechanism on the fire outlet and constantly adjusted the temperature in the furnace. He tried to melt the Ice Pistil Flower while calcining the Iron Bone Leaves.


    Soon, the temperature within the furnace continued to rise.


    Under Wu Mo''s control, the furnace''s temperature on the left was only about 40 degrees, while the temperature on the right had reached more than 1,000 degrees, and it was still rising.


    Due to the different temperatures, the Iron Bone Leaves still had a touch of green vitality.


    There were no mes in the area on the left, and the Ice Pistil Flower was wrapped in the residual heat of the mes.


    At this point, the white petals of the Ice Pistil Flower had already be somewhat withered, and the blossoming pistil was dancing in the rising heat.


    It seemed like it could wither at any time.


    With Wu Mo''s adjustments, the materials on both sides were close to their melting point.


    Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle.


    The first to melt was the Ice Pistil Flower. Influenced by the flow of heat, its petals withered, and a snow-white liquid slowly dripped down, finally flowing into the container below.


    Its slightly yellow pistil also slowly disappeared. At this moment, most of the white flower had already dissipated into the furnace, turning into ash that was expelled.


    On the other side, the Iron Bone Leaves finally showed signs of fusion under the constantly rising temperature. It had been five minutes, and everyone was still working in an orderly manner.


    Ten minutes passed by quickly, and the timer on the judges'' table beeped before long.


    Under the invigtors'' supervision, the dozen or so cksmiths, including Wu Mo, immediately exited their stations.


    Just like before, they lined up to wait for the elder''s assessment.


    Each of them was holding an alloy vial, which contained two liquids of different materials.


    This time, he was checking the purity of the liquid.


    If the materials were notpletely melted and there were dust particles, they would fail.


    If the purity of the liquids was above 80, it would be considered a pass.


    The first cksmith to be assessed immediately put the two bottles into an instrument''s mouth. In the next second, the purity tester gave the readings for the two liquids respectively.


    [Ice Pistil Flower Extract: 84%, Iron Bone Leaf Extract: 83%.]


    The test results were over 80%. That meant the cksmith had passed the two-star ranking test.


    Of course, these results were nothing out of the ordinary to the two guild elders. Ten minutes was more than enough time. As long as these young cksmiths paid attention in ss and did their training in school, they could easilyplete the task.


    In truth, they felt that these children were all quite talented and were probably students of some noble academy in the capital. Whether it was in terms of their foundations or temperature control, they were all better than average.


    It was likely that any elimination would only ur during the four-star test.


    As for the five-star ranking test, Ai Bo felt that these people were too young and would likely be unable toplete it for the time being.


    Sure enough, the final result was within the expectations of the two elders.


    No one had any problems with such a simple test. Even the worst one had reached 82% purity.


    However, it was worth mentioning that the young man who had previously forged the silver ingot to 91 points of hardness also excelled this time.


    Beep, beep, beep. [Purity measurementplete.]


    The instrument that measured purity made a sound, and then two rows of data appeared on the screen.


    The expressions of the surrounding young cksmiths became strange.


    [Ice Pistil Flower Extract: 93%.


    [Iron Bone Leaf Extract: 94%.]

 Chapter 209 Increased Difficulty

    The purity of the two juices had both exceeded 90%, which was enough to prove Wu Mo''s excellent ability in controlling the temperature.


    Even the two elders looked at Wu Mo with a hint of doubt.


    The cksmith''s forging ability and material purification ability could be seen from the cksmith''s theoretical knowledge and hands-on ability.


    The rtively quiet young man in front of him seemed to be of a simr age to the young men who had graduated from the noble academy.


    However, their strengths were very different, which was really surprising.


    "Not bad, keep up the good work."


    Ai Bo''s expression brightened as he nodded.


    Wu Mo nodded slightly, turned around, and walked to the side to give space for the next person.


    The recently-graduated students from the noble families were angry when they saw that their limelight had been overshadowed by a stranger of the same age.


    "Who is this guy? He''s too cocky."


    "That''s right. The teacher was talking to him, but he pretended to be aloof and ignored him. It''s so infuriating!"


    "Lincoln, we can''t be defeated by this arrogant guy. We have to beat him in the next test."


    Everyone discussed in low voices and decided to disy their best abilities in the next round. They could not let that guy be in the limelight again!


    Meanwhile, the three yers whom everyone had ced their hopes on nodded confidently.


    The young man in the lead was wearing a light green cksmith suit with golden edges. He wore a pair of sses, had fair skin, and had good facial features. However, thetter''s expression was condescending as if he looked down on everyone.


    Behind him were a man and a woman, both elites in their noble academy. The cksmith suits they wore had also been slightly modified, and they looked more luxurious than the others.


    "Alright, return to your positions. The three-star ranking test will begin immediately."


    Seeing that the two invigtors had already prepared the materials, Elder Lian Chun, who was sitting on the judging panel, immediately waved his hand.


    When the bespectacled young man passed by Wu Mo, he deliberately bumped into him lightly and whispered in his ear, "Hmph, just wait and see."


    The rest of the people looked at Wu Mo with hostility. They nned to teach him a lesson in the third test.


    Wu Mo had no interest in fighting against these young people who had yet to enter society.


    He only felt that the other guy''s actions and words were rather childish.


    Wu Mo pushed the curtain aside and walked into his station.


    At this moment, the materials ced in the studio were obviously more than before.


    Not only were there various materials and metals, but there were also many supplementary materials and a design n. The ink on it had seemingly just dried.


    Clearly, the three-star ranking test involved the overall effect of equipment.


    Through the materials and the design outlined on the forging paper, Wu Mo roughly understood that they should be using the existing materials to cast the frame of a piece of equipment or a prototype in a short time.


    "Ahem, ahem... Since everyone is ready, let me talk about the three-star test.


    Ai Bo smoothed out his suit and slowly said, "You need to disy the design on the forging paper within 15 minutes, and it can''t be different from the drawing. The prototype of the forging still needs to go through basic tests. You will only pass if the hardness, toughness, and energy channels meet the standards."


    "All of you understand, don''t you?"


    Upon hearing the requirements for the test, the youths from the noble academy could not help but frown slightly.


    The current test was undoubtedly much more difficult than the previous two. It would test a cksmith''s every ability.


    If they were not capable enough, they might fail the test.


    Tick, tick, tick, tick.


    While everyone was thinking, the timer on the judging tform had already started moving.


    A tense feeling lingered in the hearts of the young cksmiths.


    Some of them had already started, while others were still considering their general direction.


    At this point, the strength of each of the youths from the noble academy was gradually highlighted.


    When the two elders in their seats saw the situation, they immediately looked at each other in tacit understanding.


    "It appears that some of these young fellows are going to be eliminated in the three-star test." Ai Bo drank a ss of water and said with a smile.


    "They''re overconfident. They be blind once they encounter difficult problems. Compared with these children, the young man in the corner is more to my liking."


    Lian Chun held his chin and looked at Wu Mo, who was forging in an orderly manner, with admiration.


    In the corner of the testing area, Wu Mo immediately poured the metal materials into the furnace.


    He then used his excellent temperature control technique to melt several metals at the same time, saving time.


    Although the performance of the furnace in the guild was much worse than the one in the forging space, Wu Mo still easilypleted the task of controlling the temperature in parts at the same time.


    Soon, the different metals werepletely calcined. They were ced in the crucible separately, waiting to be mixed and remolded.


    The next step was to melt the auxiliary materials. In order for the prototype of the equipment to have enough attributes, he had to add materials or forge it.


    That required techniques such as prating steel and folding forging to increase hardness and toughness.


    Of course, Wu Mo had already memorized these techniques by heart. It was to the point where he could count them as if they were his family''s treasures.


    He did not hesitate at all. He just needed to wait for the properties of these materials to change.


    In Wu Mo''s eyes, these things were still basic knowledge. He had already learned them in his second year at the Divine Arms Academy.


    If he wanted to use all his skills, he would probably have to take the five-star ranking test.


    In the blink of an eye, all the materials had been smelted.


    Next, Wu Mo poured all five metals into the same crucible and then poured it into the furnace again. He let the mixed metal liquid fuse with the various supplementary materials and used the right temperature to force out the impurities.


    The mes rose in the furnace, illuminating Wu Mo''s constantly changing expression.


    He wiped the sweat from his forehead. Seeing that the alloy liquid in the furnace was no longer rising and that there were no gray impurities on the surface, he poured it into the crucible again.


    He waited for the initial cooling until the alloy liquid became viscous, and he immediately began to adjust the forging parameters.


    The test this time required the forging of an armor prototype.


    He only needed to prepare the main frame and it would be consideredplete.


    Although 15 minutes was a bit of a rush, it was a good thing that it was only a piece of Rare-equipment. Hence, there was no need to go through any additional processes.


    After adjusting the data of the casting machine, Wu Mo poured the liquid in the crucible into the furnace before he prepared to mold it and cool it down.


    This process took about five minutes, but it was a pity that the given time was too short. Otherwise, Wu Mo would have added the forging process.

 Chapter 210 Question Of Strength

    Mjolnir had almost turned to dust in his Interspatial Ring. He had not gotten the chance to use it for a long time.


    However, even if he skipped the forging step, his prototype would be sufficient to pass the test.


    After all, the metal had been calcined to a very high purity. With the addition of those materials, it was enough to achieve a good defensive effect.


    As for the energy path, he had already tested the machine''s data. Once the prototype waspleted, everything would be in ce.


    Chi chi chi...


    When he got to the 13th minute, the casting machine in front of him made a sound. Then, the top cover of the mold opened up and released a white mist.


    Soon, an armor prototype with clear edges and corners appeared before him.


    Although there were still many steps before the armor prototype waspleted, the judges could already gauge its defensive parameters. With that, the two elders could guess the quality of the prototype.


    During thest two minutes, Wu Mo sat in his chair and waited quietly.


    There were also supervising teachers in overalls who lifted the curtains to check on the students during this period.


    When one of them saw Wu Mo sitting in the chair and doing nothing, he could not help but exim.


    During the three-star ranking test, the cksmiths from the noble academy were obviously flustered and sweating.


    Only a few of them were still strolling around with confidence on their faces.


    Wu Mo was the first one to rest in his chair.


    The two of them stared at each other, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. It did not end until the supervisor left.


    Ding ding ding!


    The 15-minute time limit was soon up, and as the invigtors gazed at them, the dozen or so young cksmiths took their prototypes and walked toward the judging tform.


    In contrast to the cheerful atmosphere from before, the expressions of a few students at this moment seemed to becking in confidence.


    They seemed to be worried that the prototype they had cast might not even reach the lowest standard in some aspects.


    However, a majority of them still had rxed expressions on their faces. After all, they had already lived in the academy for three years. As long as they had some talent, it would not be too difficult for them to be a four-star cksmith before the age of twenty.


    Moreover, they were studying at an elite academy, and everyone enjoyed the best teaching.


    As for Wu Mo, before entering the forging space, he had only studied the most basic of theoretical knowledge. It was only after he entered the Divine Arms Academy that he officially stepped into the forging space.


    Even so, Wu Mo still became a four-star cksmith in his second year.


    Of course, there were also geniuses in the field of forging, but more often than not, they had to work hard.


    After collecting his thoughts, Wu Mo stood quietly in the line.


    Beep beep beep.


    The testing equipment on the judging table made a sound, and it was clear that the analysis was done.


    The young man who was the first to be assessed was a little nervous. Although he felt that he had done his best, he was still worried that there would be problems with his results.


    At this moment, the people behind him immediately stuck their heads out to take a peek. They immediately discovered that several rted data were listed on the testing machine.


    [Armor Prototype - Hardness: 71, Strength: 68, Degree of Energy Passage: 74


    [Overall Score: 72]


    Looking at the data on the machine screen, Elder Ai Bo nodded and said with a kind expression, "You passed. Next."


    In this ranking test, as long as one''s overall score exceeded 60, it would be considered a pass.


    Soon, the second person was assessed. His armor prototype had a smooth surface and an eptable overall shape. However, Wu Mo could clearly see that the prototype he was holding had a w.


    It was rtively less resilient.


    Although it was good in terms of hardness, it was too brittle. If it was hit by a violent impact, it would likely break.


    Soon, the results of the test were out.


    [Armor Prototype - Hardness: 79, Strength: 55, Degree of Energy Passage: 74


    [Overall Score: 62]


    With a score of 62 points, this cksmith almost passed the three-star ranking test in the United States.


    Thetter''s face turned pale when he saw his results. He was obviously shocked.


    He had already be a three-star cksmith a few months ago, but he had cked off after graduating and had not trained for half a month.


    In the field of forging, if one did not advance, one would fall behind.


    As a result of not training for half a month, he became unfamiliar with certain forging techniques, which almost led him to fail the three-star test.


    If he failed, his cksmith certificate would be updated, and he would not be able to take the test again for a month.


    With lingering fear in his heart, the slightly plump young man immediately left and waited for the four-star test.


    Sadly, the person behind him was not as lucky as him because the prototype he forged did not pass the standard in any dimension, and his final score was only over 50 points.


    He was stripped of his status as a three-star cksmith and dropped back to two stars.


    On top of that, he would not be able to take the exam again until the next month.


    Seeing thetter leave the testing area dejectedly, the other cksmiths from the same school felt sorry for him.


    At the same time, some of the less capable people began to pray in their hearts, hoping that they would pass the test smoothly.


    Beep beep beep. [Testpleted.


    [Armor Prototype - Hardness: 85, Strength: 73, Degree of Energy Passage: 81


    [Overall Score: 79]


    The measuring machine rang again, and the data made the people around happy.


    This score was "good" whenpared with the others. This student was obviously much more outstanding.


    "As expected of Jiang Zhou. He actually managed to score close to 80 points."


    "Brother Jiang will definitely get the highest score on the test. He''s awesome."


    Jiang Zhou''s results instantly aroused the admiration, as well as envy, of the other young men, and they all began to praise him.


    "Hehe, I only disyed 60% of my strength. It''ll be better to go all out in the four-star test." The young man in the dark green smithing suit waved his hand, looking rxed and happy.


    "Jiang Zhou is a role model for all of us. It would be great if I could reach such levels of strength one day."


    "Wasn''t someone very arrogant just now? I''d like to see how many points he can get this round," a girl standing behind Wu Mo said in a sharp voice. Her strange tone obviously indicated that she was mocking Wu Mo.


    Her words caused the surrounding students to immediately fix their gazes on Wu Mo.


    Perhaps it was because the two elders were present, thetter did not continue speaking, but she still looked at Wu Mo with hostility and disgust.


    Seeing the other party jabbering on and on and belittling him repeatedly, Wu Mo''s expression immediately turned cold.


    He nned to teach those people who had been rude to him a lesson after this.


    "Pass. Next," Elder Ai Bo said in a calm tone as he looked at the data on the screen.


    Lian Chun looked a little tired. He felt that these low-ranking tests were like ying house, and he was not interested in them at all.

 Chapter 211 Wu Mos Superb Skills

    Wu Mo took a few steps forward to the judging table and immediately handed in his basketball-sized armor prototype.


    Elder Ai Bo took it and was about to put it into the machine for testing.


    However, he was slightly shocked when he subconsciously nced at it.


    The armor prototype that had been cast by this young man not only had a perfect structure, but its weight was also somewhat different from that of the other cksmiths'' prototypes. Its surface was full of potholes as if it had not been polished at thest step.


    Lian Chun yawned at the side. He did not notice this piece of work that wasparable to something made by an experienced cksmith.


    "Let''s take a look at the data first."


    Even though he felt that this prototype was better than all the previous ones, he still had to test it ording to the process.


    Right then, the other 12 people looked over. They wanted to see the level of this guy who made them unhappy.


    "Don''t worry, he''s definitely not my match."


    Jiang Zhou, who was standing at the side, smiled and spoke in a nonchnt tone.


    Beep, beep, beep, beep. [Inspectionplete.


    [Armor Prototype - Hardness: 90, Toughness: 83, Degree of Energy Passage: 94


    [Overall Score: 88]


    The moment the results appeared, Lian Chun, who was sitting in the judging seat, suddenly widened his eyes in disbelief.


    "Oh, this... is really unbelievable," Lian Chun unwittingly said upon seeing such excellent results.


    Elder Ai Bo was also surprised. He felt that this young man had to be the disciple of a master. Otherwise, he would not have such strong abilities.


    The two of them had been in the capital''s cksmith Guild for several decades. Although they had seen many geniuses, it was still very rare for someone to have such a good foundation and be able to purify materials to such a degree.


    Whether it was the Ice Pistil Flower, the Iron Bone Leaf, or the current alloy frame, they were all very well made.


    His work was so clean and neat that it could even bepared to a Five-elements cksmith.


    It did not seem like something a young man in his twenties could do.


    In short, it was amazing, and the two elders felt like they had found a treasure.


    But Wu Mo did not find it too outrageous.


    He only found it rare.


    At this moment, the young cksmiths from the noble research institute were so surprised by Wu Mo''s test results that they did not know what to say for a moment.


    They had originally thought that Wu Mo was just a low-level cksmith with a solid foundation. Without improved talent, he could only practice his basic knowledge over and over again.


    However, they now realized that they had been wrong about him.


    Even Jiang Zhou, who was the strongest among them, had only gotten 79 points.


    Meanwhile, Wu Mo''s score was 88. The difference was enough to exin the problem.


    Not only did that fellow have a solid foundation, but he also had the ability to deal a blow to them in other areas of forging.


    They could not imagine how Wu Mo had managed to achieve a hardness of more than 90%.


    The toughness and the coverage of the energy meridian had exceeded their knowledge.


    Right then, even the ever-confident Jiang Zhou had a bad look on his face.


    He felt that Wu Mo had taken all the glory from him.


    He seemed mediocre inparison.


    The entire testing area was filled with tension.


    Many of the people who had been contemptuous and even disgusted with Wu Mo now felt their faces burning, especially that pretty girl who had previously been sarcastic to Wu Mo.


    The skills that Wu Mo disyed were far beyond their realm of knowledge.


    Now, she wished that she could find a crack and hide in it.


    The cksmiths who had mocked Wu Mo for being a low-realm cksmith were all ashamed.


    All of them had their heads lowered, and there was no longer any trace of their previous arrogance.


    "Alright, it''s about time. Let''s start the four-star ranking test."


    Seeing that the young students had stopped talking, Ai Bo immediately spoke.


    He never stopped them frompeting in the dark because he knew that the young man whom everyone from the noble academy regarded as an opponent was powerful.


    He would not be affected by their words. If the situation got a little more serious, Lian Chun would definitely stop them even if he did not do anything.


    In the testing area, all the cksmiths who were taking part in the test immediately returned to their original positions after hearing Elder Ai Bo''s instructions.


    They waited in silence as the elder announced the rules of the four-star test.


    While they were waiting for the test, the two invigtors had already distributed the relevant materials. The four-star ranking test posed many questions, and the results could only be obtained after aprehensive evaluation.


    The rtive difficulty of the test would also increase by a lot.


    "The rules of the four-star ranking test are as follows: We will judge who is better based on the various aspects.


    "Please produce the final product within 25 minutes based on the prototype weapon and rted materials provided.


    "Condition 1: The finished weapon must be at least of Rare grade.


    "Condition 2: Please add at least one magic circle or rune effect to the weapon.


    "Condition 3: Sessfully embed the designated gem and achieve a sharpness of more than 60.


    "Only by fulfilling the above conditions and obtaining the approval of the two elders will it be consideredplete."


    After they heard the conditions that Elder Ai Bo presented, most of the people present looked reluctant.


    They knew that the test for the four-star ranking would be more difficult.


    However, they did not expect there to be so many conditions.


    Forging Rare equipment was not considered difficult for newly-graduated cksmiths.


    The effects of magic arrays and runes, on the other hand, were moreplicated, and not everyone could easily learn them.


    It was especially true for Tier 2 runes and arrays. The books rted to them were like heavenly books, obscure and difficult to understand.


    The degree of sharpness would also test their skills in forging and sharpening. Once these two skills were integrated to a certain extent, they could forge a sharp weapon that would not break easily.


    However, everyone felt that it was even more difficult to gain the approval of the two elders.


    The two elders were both ranked six stars and had seen countless Divine weapons in the cksmith Guild. It would not be easy for the weapons they forged to be recognized.


    They had to handle most parts well for their work to be recognized, but there was so little time that it was almost impossible to polish the details.


    If they were dyed in certain areas, they could have a problem finishing their work.


    As such, many people felt that they would not be able to pass the assessment even before it started.


    Even Jiang Zhou, the strongest from the aristocratic academy, fell into deep thought.


    He had to regain the glory he had lost in this test. He would not allow anyone of the same age to surpass him, so he had to exert 120% this time to forge a perfect weapon andpletely trample over the other guy.


    Thinking of this, Jiang Zhou''s heart immediately lit up with battle intent, and the anger in his chest began to build.

 Chapter 212 Rushed Forging

    First, he threw most of the materials into the furnace and began to smelt them. After they were melted, he would fuse them with the prototype.


    On the other side, Wu Mo had also started forging.


    This time, he was going to forge a short sword with a simr style to a full tang sword.


    One could tell just by looking at the prototype provided by the guild.


    The prototype of this weapon clearly showed signs of mass production. Although it was a qualified product, it was ordinary and did not hold the ir of a cksmith at all.


    Even if it was fully forged into a weapon, its attributes and quality would not be much better.


    However, it was quite fair to use it as a test for the four-star rank.


    The weapon prototype was only about 30 centimeters long. Even with the scabbard, it was only 50 centimeters.


    One could consider it a short knife.


    Items of such quality had no other use other than for self-defense.


    If they were to enter the battlefield of Ten Thousand Races, they would probably be smacked apart by therge monsters in a single move.


    Wu Mo felt a little annoyed, but he still began to forge the materials with haste.


    No matter what, he had to salvage it a little and make the weapon more pleasing to the eye.


    The prototype had been forged. What he needed to do next was to melt the metal used to make the scabbard, heat up and forge the prototype de, then sharpen it, embed the gem, and draw an array.


    In the past, these tasks would take at least a few hours.


    However, since the guild had set a time limit of 25 minutes, he could only simplify everything.


    After a few minutes, he had finished melting the alloy. Then, he began to melt the auxiliary materials that increased the hardness and toughness.


    He operated the casting machine, poured the cooled metal liquid into the pre-adjusted groove, and began to make the handle.


    While the casting machine was running, he began to heat up the prototype de, ready to carry out carbon mping and folding forging.


    Since there was not enough time, they could only put on a show. Each segment could not exceed five minutes.


    After a short while, the de turned red from the high temperature. Wu Mo put on a pair of heat-insting gloves and immediately took the de out of the furnace.


    The 30-centimeter-long fiery-red de emanated constant heat, and the surrounding air was slightly distorted by it.


    Wu Mo ced it on the iron felt and immediately took out Mjolnir, which had been sealed for a long time.


    A burst of light spread across the patterns on Mjolnir. The surrounding air seemed to be shaken by the majestic energy, and even the forging paper on the table was blown away.


    As he held Thor''s hammer in his hand, Wu Mo took a deep breath before he aimed at the red de and hammered.


    ng!


    The sound of metal shing exploded in Wu Mo''s ears.


    Fortunately, the surrounding magic circle could iste sound. Otherwise, the other cksmiths who were taking the test would have thought that there was an explosion.


    Wu Mo deliberately controlled Mjolnir''s energy so that it could exert its maximum effect without destroying the de.


    As he hammered, he folded the de.


    In just a few minutes, the de had been folded dozens of times, and its shape had also changed, bing thinner and firmer.


    As for the carbide technique, due to time constraints, there was simply no time to process it. He could only return back to the furnace and soak the de in a bucket of cold water immediately after heating it up to quench it.


    Only a series of hissing sounds could be heard.


    The silver de that had already started to show itself released a lot of white smoke.


    It still retained its circr patterns, but it was beginning to look and also feel like a knife in terms of hardness.


    When he finished quenching, the casting machine was already done. There were already irregr patterns on the hot handle.


    Not only was it beautiful, but it also increased friction and reduced the risk of it slipping out of someone''s hand.


    By the time he finished assembling the de and the handle, half of the time had passed.


    Wu Mo did not stop and started to carve out a groove at the top of the de.


    Next up was the polishing process.


    The guild had provided a rectangr whetstone and rted auxiliary tools.


    All the grinding techniques that Wu Mo was familiar with so far shed through his mind. In the end, he picked out the concave grinding technique. It provided good sharpness, and it was rtively less troublesome out of the 12.


    After that, the cycle of sharpening and cooling was repeated.


    After five minutes, the dagger finally became sharp. It was as smooth as a mirror and could even reflect the light from above.


    Once he was done with the polishing work, Wu Mo continued to draw the array.


    There was the matter of time, so he could only draw the most basic Tier 1 Spirit Gathering Array. Fortunately, when he was in the Research Department, he had already studied the array thoroughly.


    Even if he had to increase his speed by several times, thepletion rate would still be extremely high.


    After the array was drawn, the gemstones were embedded.


    He pressed the dark blue gem down, and in a sh, a burst of light blue light spread out, gradually covering the entire de.


    "Phew! It''s finally almost done!"


    Wu Mo could not help but wipe the sweat off his forehead as he looked at the new weapon on the work table.


    Ever since he became a cksmith, he had never forged equipment in such a short period of time.


    Even though the guild had provided a batch of prototypes, it was still too much of a rush. He had skipped many parts, and he did not have the time to polish them.


    Despite being so fast, he only had one and a half minutes left before time was up.


    If even he was in such a predicament, imagine those students who had just graduated andcked experience.


    At this moment, Wu Mo could already predict that most people there would not be able to pass the test for four stars.


    Twenty-five minutes passed by in a sh.


    Soon, the timer beeped.


    The two invigtors also walked out of the workstations and followed the young cksmiths to the judging tform.


    This round of assessment would basically filter out arge number of people.


    However, these were the rules set by the guild, which were in line with the standards in the Nine Provinces.


    So, if they did not pass, they could only me themselves.


    They eithercked the ability to adapt to the situation, or theycked knowledge in certain fields, hence could notplete the forging of equipment independently.


    From their dejected expressions, Wu Mo could tell that some of them had not evenpleted their work.


    Soon, the review began.


    The first one to be examined was a slightly chubby young man. The short knife in thetter''s hand was obviouslycking in heat, but it was not bad in other aspects. He might be able to pass.


    Everyone made the same thing, but some differences could lead to different effects.


    Wu Mo noticed that there were still a few more people in front of him in the queue, so he took the time to let the system appraise the short knife he had forged earlier.


    As soon as the thought came to mind, the system immediately gave him the relevant data.


    Since the dagger''s grade was not high, the appraisal did not cost any points.


    [Equipment appraisalplete. Its attributes are as follows:


    [Equipment Type: Saber


    [Equipment Name: Tearing de


    [Equipment Grade: Premium


    [System Score: 46 points.


    [Equipment Effects: 1. Royal Sword (Sessfully blocks an attack with a small chance of damaging the enemy''s weapon. Note: It cannot damage weapons above Premium grade)


    [2. Tear (A charged-up hit will cause additional damage such as pration and tear, corresponding to negative effects such as crippling and elerated bleeding. The resulting damage will be increased. Cooldown: One minute)]

 Chapter 213 This Is The Difference

    [Array Effect: Tier 1 Spirit Gathering Array (Increases spirit energy absorption effect.)


    [Equipment Evaluation: This is a crude piece of equipment. Based on its details, it is obvious that it was forged in a short time. The most one could say about it is it is useful.]


    Looking at his equipment''s attributes, Wu Mo felt a little helpless.


    It had been a long time since he had forged Rare-grade equipment.


    Ever since he entered the Research Department, he had been involved in the research and development of Epic equipment.


    He was not used to it.


    Not long after, the first few people had alreadypleted their evaluation. However, the probability of passing was only about 50. Many people failed to obtain the four-star cksmith certificate because their products had major functional defects.


    "Fail. Next."


    The two judges frowned slightly. They felt that the works presented by the students before them were horrible.


    Basically, out of six people so far, only three barely met the standard. The rest either did notplete their work or onlypleted it partially when the time was up.


    The weapon was either not of Rare grade, or its sharpness was not high enough.


    In short, it was awful.


    Even though they were all from a noble academy, there was still a considerable portion of them who were just average.


    Wu Mo lowered his eyes and quickly walked forward. Then, he handed over the short saber in his hand.


    Ai Bo and Lian Chun immediately appeared serious when they saw Wu Mo''s face.


    They nned to appreciate his work.


    They had seen a lot of high-quality equipment, but it was still rare to see one made by a young man in his 20s.


    His forging style was apparent. While it was stable, it also had a heart that others did not have. The handling of the details was excellent, reaching a level that was pleasing to the eye.


    In their opinion, this mature young man''s forging skills far surpassed that of the others, including the young man named Jiang Zhou.


    The two elders on the judging tform exchanged looks before Lian Chun picked the de up.


    The short saber was 48 cm in length, and its de was 29 cm in length. There were irregr patterns on it, making it obvious that it had been folded and forged. However, the patterns were scattered since the de had not been in the forge for long enough.


    The short saber was a little heavy in his hand, but the de was not cumbersome. The de was so shiny that it could even reflect the light above his head.


    If the saber was ced in the armory in its current state, no one would give it a second nce. However, if the time limit was increased by 25 minutes and this young cksmith worked on it, the knife would certainly attract a lot of attention.


    He was much more outstanding.


    "Not bad. Your forging level is roughly at the peak of four stars."


    Lian Chun''s expression rxed as he praised Wu Mo.


    Ai Bo did not say anything, but his expression of admiration was enough of an indication.


    Now that the short saber had already been approved by the two elders before being tested, the next step was to test its attributes.


    The first was energy detection, which was the most direct way to judge the quality of a weapon.


    Sometimes, it was not urate to judge based on the light emitted from the weapon''s surface.


    Soon, the result of the quality appraisal was out. As the two elders had expected, it was a piece of Premium-grade equipment.


    As the few cksmiths waiting to be examined saw the green light on the instrument''s screen, they were shocked.


    This young man had actually forged a Premium-grade weapon in just 25 minutes. It was simply unbelievable!


    These students could not even forge Rare-grade metal. After all, the time was too short, and there were many steps that could not bepleted in time. Yet, Wu Mo managed all that in such a short time. It did not seem like something a young cksmith could do!


    The young cksmiths who had yet to be assessed stared at him with their eyes wide open. Even the top geniuses in their noble academy were not that exceptional.


    "The weapon''s grade meets the requirements of the test. The gem has been properly embedded, and it has stable energy. Lastly, the de''s sharpness is 82, whichpletely meets the standard.


    Elder Ai Bo pushed up his sses and immediately announced Wu Mo''s results.


    Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhou, who had originally wanted to rece Wu Mo in this segment, was instantly stunned.


    He becamepletely dejected.


    In the previous 25 minutes, he had basically achieved a sense of urgency to race against time. He had also done his best and finished most of his work. Despite that, he failed to achieve such results.


    Wu Mo had firmly suppressed all of the students from the noble academy in the four tests. The inability to ever reach those heights discouraged him deeply. His original pride and arrogance had disappeared entirely.


    "How is that possible?


    "Why is there someone who can surpass me to such a degree?!"


    Jiang Zhou had no idea. He had received the best education all this time, and he was also wearing many pieces of equipment that increased his mental strength.


    They allowed him to look at the bigger picture during the forging process and calmlyplete all his work.


    Yet, even with so many bonuses, he still could not surpass that unfamiliar young man. He could not fathom it!


    "Pass. The weapon is of Rare grade, and its energy is rtively stable. However, the details of gem embedding are poor. Its sharpness is 65, hence it has met the standard."


    After experiencing the baptism provided by Wu Mo''s weapon, Ai Bo felt that the current equipment before him was much more ordinary.


    Even though most parts of this student''s work were not bad,pared with the young man who had taken the test earlier, he was stillcking by a lot.


    Jiang Zhou''s expression was numb as he dragged his heavy feet to the waiting area.


    He gritted his teeth as he looked at the silent young man with an unwilling expression.


    He could not figure it out no matter what.


    From the way Wu Mo dressed, it was obvious that he was an ordinary person from a poor family. how could he have such excellent forging skills?


    Jiang Zhou would probably never find an answer to his questions.


    After all, he would never forge equipment in a space without any light.


    He would not reflect on the failure in front of him and would only feel that he was unlucky.


    He would not stay in a small dark room for more than 10 hours every day for the sake of his dreams.


    He could not stand the boring learning process.


    As for technical terms like martensite and Teflon, they were definitely not his forte.


    He would never know how much effort a child from the countryside had to put in to reach this point.


    ...


    Gradually, everyone in the testing area finished their assessments. Including Wu Mo, only seven people had passed the four-star ranking assessment.


    A total of 13 people had arrived from the noble academy, but now, only six were left after the filtering.


    Moreover, they all barely passed. If the test had been more difficult, more would have probably been filtered out.


    With that, the invigtors took the eliminated students away.


    The two elders looked at the remaining seven and immediately asked, "Are you still going to take the five-star test?"

 Chapter 214 Five-Star Test

    In their eyes, aside from Wu Mo, no one else had a chance of passing the test.


    Even Wu Mo, whose forging ability wasparable to an experienced cksmith, only had a slight chance.


    After hearing the elders'' words, all the youths from the academy started to contemte.


    They knew well whether they could pass the five-star test or not.


    However, some of them were curious and wanted to give it a try, while others felt that there was no possibility of sess. It was better to leave now and not waste everyone''s time.


    "I''d like to take the five-star test." Wu Mo took a step forward and said with a calm expression.


    The surrounding people were instantly shocked and even more afraid.


    "I... I''d like to take the test too!"


    Not long after Wu Mo spoke, Jiang Zhou, who was wearing a dark green suit with gold threads, stepped forth with his fists clenched.


    Wu Mo subconsciously nced at him and found that this person named Jiang Zhou had lowered his head and was deliberately avoiding his gaze.


    "Hehe, interesting. Since there are two people who would like to take the test, let''s continue."


    Ai Bo waved his hand, and the two invigtors immediately nodded and proceeded to prepare the test materials.


    The remaining five students backed offpletely. Jiang Zhou was already the most powerful one among them.


    Even Jiang Zhou was no match for it, so they would only be embarrassing themselves if they went ahead.


    In the end, only Jiang Zhou and Wu Mo participated in the five-star ranking test.


    It did not take long for the invigtor to return to the testing area with two sets of materials.


    As for those who did not participate in the five-star test, they stood aside and waited.


    "For this test, as long as you meet the following requirements within the time limit, you will pass.


    "Condition 1: Complete the enhancement process for a piece of Rare-grade equipment within half an hour without damaging the equipment.


    "Condition 2: The equipment must be of Premium grade or above after the enhancement.


    "Condition 3: After the equipment is forged, it needs to be worn for a test. You will only pass the test if you manage to move 100 meters within 6 seconds of activating the equipment''s effect.


    "Are both of you clear about the rules?"


    Elder Ai Bo swept his gaze across the two of them as he spoke with a solemn expression.


    "Yes, Sir!" Jiang Zhou and Wu Mo said in unison.


    "Then let''s begin."


    The elder moved the timer, and the two of them swiftly went to their work area.


    Wu Mo drew open the curtain and saw some boots on the table.


    It was a light blue pair of long boots. Their surface was rough, and the upper part of each boot was iid with a gemstone of poor quality.


    Even with the gem, the boots were only of Rare grade.


    It was apparent that this equipment had been poorly made on purpose.


    Furthermore, since the equipment waspleted, it could no longer be destroyed or reconstructed.


    Therefore, to increase the quality of the equipment in the enhancement process, the only reliable methods were to increase the magic circles, add runes, sharpen the weapon, use scrolls, and embed gems.


    Since the equipment itself was already embedded with gemstones, thest method was no longer feasible. Sharpening was also a unique weapon-strengthening method.


    In addition, the equipment that needed to be enhanced was of Rare grade. It could not withstand too much heterogeneous energy, so Wu Mo could only choose between the magic circle, runes, or scrolls.


    However, the materials provided by the guild were very simple, and he could not draw a magic circle as well as add runes.


    The only way left was to use an enhancement scroll.


    The use of enhancement scrolls was the most unpopr among all cksmiths.


    Although it required fewer materials, it was incredibly cumbersome, and the workload was higher than that of drawing magic circles and adding runes.


    With that said, the previous tests had already tested most of the cksmiths'' abilities, from material purification to temperature control, from casting a prototype to thepletion of equipment.


    He had basically gone through all of them, and all that was left were enhancement scrolls, as well as some knowledge and abilities that he did not usually use.


    Wu Mo did not know much about the production of enhancement scrolls. Fortunately, he had read enough books and notes in the Research Department in the past few months.


    Although he had never drawn them, he still had a lot of theoretical knowledge.


    Coupled with his rich experience in drawing magic arrays and runes, it was equivalent to having a sufficient foundation. All that was left was innovation.


    Taking a deep breath, Wu Mo walked to the work table and spread out the light yellow forging paper.


    He closed his eyes and recalled the content he had read before, drawing it out in his mind.


    After all, the workstation in the testing area did not allow him to backtrack indefinitely like the Divine-grade Forging Space.


    Since the guild had only given him a single piece of forging paper, he could not make any mistakes.


    In his mind, he first made the initial outline of the enhancement scroll. Then he would do whatever was needed until it was fully developed.


    However, this process would take a long time. In addition, there were different types of enhancement scrolls, and not all of them were suitable for this pair of boots.


    After giving the matter some thought, Wu Mo decided to use a Tier 2 enhancement scroll, the Stride Scroll.


    It was an enhancement effect that could effectively increase the distance between each step. Compared with other speed-type enhancement scrolls, it was more condensed and did not require any extra steps.


    Furthermore, the effect of the increase was not low. As long as it was used reasonably, it would not be too difficult to achieve the effect within six seconds in a 100-meter distance.


    After making the relevant ns in his mind, Wu Mo immediately picked up the forging pen.


    Once he covered the tip of the brush with supplementary materials, Wu Mo put down the first stroke with a confident face.


    Then, he entered a state of full concentration and continued to draw.


    The difficulty of creating a Tier 2 scroll was not too high. It was simr to runes and magic arrays.


    However, the three would repel each other to different degrees.


    Therefore, even if the equipment was of Divine grade, it was impossible to add magic arrays, runes, and enhancement scrolls to the equipment at the same time.


    If he were to force it, he might lose control of the three energies and even destroy the equipment.


    As such, ordinary equipment could only be attached with one type. Only anything of Epic grade and above could withstand two additional effects.


    Wu Mo had learned about the scroll for wider steps that he was currently drawing from a master cksmith''s notes.


    It was just that at the time, he thought that it would only be useful under normal circumstances.


    After all, he had spent a long time practicing creating magic arrays and runes to the point where he could control them like his arms. There was no need to add a third enhancement method.


    Now, however, he realized that his original idea had been incorrect. It was indeed difficult for the shorings of only knowing a subject partially to reveal themselves in daily life. The impact would be more apparent in exams or tests.


    Time passed by, and the remaining five people standing outside did not dare to make a sound.


    In fact, they all knew that Jiang Zhou had no chance of passing the five-star test.


    They had never really learned much about an enhancement scroll when they were in their institution. Other than seeing it in textbooks, they did not usually use it.

 Chapter 215 The Production Of The Enhancement Scroll

    As for the powerful young man, they also felt that it was unlikely for him to pass.


    The five-star realm was equivalent to entering a broader space of knowledge in the field of forging. Only those who had been ranked four stars for a long time could possibly break through this shackle.


    Plus, that young man looked to be the same age as them, so how could he have reached that level?


    The two judges were chatting, while the invigtors were shuttling back and forth between the two stations covered by curtains.


    In the blink of an eye, 10 minutes had passed. There were only 6 minutes left before the time limit was up.


    Wu Mo had no idea how Jiang Zhou was doing.


    At that moment, he waspletely immersed in the drawing and did not even notice the invigtoring in and out.


    He was already at the final stage of the scroll.


    He needed to control the forging pen firmly so that the energy would not dissipate at all. At the same time, he also needed toplete the connection to let the scroll take effect.


    Sweat seeped out of his forehead, gradually gathering and flowing down to the tip of his nose.


    Wu Mo did not even blink as he waved the forging pen in his hand, rendering the yellowed paper in a free and easy style.


    Finally, the dry, forked tip of the pen stopped on the paper.


    A faint light surged forth, immediately making the entire forging paper thicker and heavier.


    Right then, sweat was dripping down his nose. Wu Mo swiftly shook his arm and took out thepleted enhancement scroll.


    Drip!


    Oval-shaped beads of sweat fell on the work table in small sshes.


    Wu Mo stared at the ink and light on the scroll, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.


    ''I''ve seeded!'' he muttered in his heart.


    An invisible sense of pride instantly welled up in him.


    He had nevere into contact with the production of an enhancement scroll before, but he had seeded on his first try. It was undoubtedly a huge improvement.


    Moreover, Wu Mo was able to produce a Tier 2 magic scroll on his first try. It was a testament to Wu Mo''s rich theoretical knowledge and solid foundation.


    Exhaling slowly, Wu Mo''s eyes lit up.


    He ced the boots on the work table and immediately began to connect the energy. He was ready to transfer the energy and effects of the scroll to the boots.


    The Transmutation Array was one of the basic enhancements, and it had been provided by the guild. Hence, he was not required to make any additions.


    After cing the energy stone in the eye of the Transmutation Array, a light blue light rose up after a while. The light wrapped around the energy in the scroll and immediately transferred it to the boots.


    This process wouldst for a few minutes, so once everything waspleted, it would basically be time.


    It had to be said that the current test was indeed challenging. Even Wu Mo almost missed the deadline.


    He looked out of the window not far away. It was almost two o''clock, and he had not even eaten lunch.


    At that thought, his stomach made a rumbling sound.


    "Sigh, after this, I''ll go to the restaurant to eat before going back."


    He did not expect time to pass by so quickly. Wu Mo had nned to go back after buying some materials.


    However, that had led to so many problems. It had been a real waste of time.


    After a short while, the Transmutation Array on the work table waspleted. The originally warm energy stone was now dry, like a honeb briquet full of holes.


    It was obvious that energy had been consumed to operate the array.


    The ink on the scroll had not dried yet, but it no longer had a crystalline texture. It was no different from ordinary paper.


    The boots just had a smoother surface not, and their weight had also increased slightly.


    Wu Mo was curious about the scroll''s effect.


    With that in mind, he immediately activated the system''s appraisal.


    In a sh, the light blue system interface was directly projected before him.


    [Equipment identification sessful. Its attributes are as follows:


    [Equipment Type: Shoes


    [Equipment Name: Broadfoot Boots.


    [Equipment Grade: Premium


    [System Score: 34 points.


    [Equipment Effects: 1. Iron Shins (Stamina consumed by walking or running is halved)


    [2. Ankle Guard (The probability of injury on the foot is greatly reduced)


    [Enhancement Scroll: Tier 2 Stride Scroll (Doubles the distance of each step)


    [Equipment Evaluation: This is a piece of equipment with terrible effects. It''s a product of mass forging. To be honest, this item is more suitable to be given to the soldiers at the border!]


    Wu Mo could not even look at the attributes of the equipment that appeared before him.


    The ring that he had previously forged was much more practical than these boots.


    It was simply a disgrace to the Premium grade.


    Fortunately, the Tier 2 enhancement scroll he had created was not bad. It had raised the boots'' grade by one level,pleting the task.


    Tick tock tick tock!


    Just as Wu Mo was grumbling in his heart, the timer started ticking.


    The invigtor standing at the entrance of the studio immediately reminded him about the time.


    Only then did Wu Mo snap out of it. He realized that there was a second person in the small room that was only 10 square meters.


    "I''m sorry."


    Wu Mo stood up and immediately walked out with the boots.


    On the way to the judging tform, Wu Mo also saw Jiang Zhou drawing open the curtain and walking out.


    Jiang Zhou''s expression was not too good, and he had shoes that looked simr to Wu Mo''s in his hands.


    It seemed like he had failed. To be more precise, he did not even know how to draw a scroll.


    For nearly half an hour, he had been in jail, doubting his life.


    The moment he met Wu Mo''s eyes when he came out, he felt even worse.


    It was already a miracle that he was not crying now.


    As for Wu Mo, he was also a little dumbfounded when he noticed that the boots had not changed at all.


    This child was clueless, yet he dared to ept the five-star challenge. Was he bold or brainless?


    The two of them, one in front and one at the back, approached the side of the judging tform. When the other students from the esteemed academy saw Jiang Zhou''s rather nk expression, they instantly understood that they hadpletely lost the battle.


    Although they knew that there was a high chance that Wu Mo would not be able to pass the five-star test, they could tell from thepleteness of his equipment that he had at least made some changes, unlike Jiang Zhou.


    The young cksmiths felt extremely ufortable. More than a dozen of them hade to participate in the test, but from beginning to end, they had been surpassed by an unknown youth.


    If they had been ordinary people, it would not have been a big deal. However, they were students of a noble academy.


    Everyone discriminated against Wu Mo unfairly, and in their hearts, they looked down on ordinary people from poor families. They even felt that the field of forging was a noble profession born for the nobility.


    Ordinary people did not have the right to touch it.


    Wu Mo''s clothes made him look like an ordinary person, but the forging ability he disyed was better than theirs. It was simply a p in the face!


    They were as arrogant as they were before, but now they were in a sorry state.

 Chapter 216 Shocking The Whole Audience

    Looking at the young men with their heads lowered, Wu Mo''s expression remained calm. He noticed that Jiang Zhou did not seem ready to go up for the assessment.


    He immediately took a step forward and ced the boots on the judging tform.


    The two elders, Ai Bo and Lian Chun, immediately sat up straight and began to examine them carefully.


    The first thing to do was test the energy of the boots to see what grade they were.


    Enhancement scrolls were not as effective as runes and magic arrays in improving the grade of equipment. Usually, more powerful scrolls were needed to achieve the effect of upgrading the grade.


    The young men who were watching immediately held their breath and focused their attention on the testing machine''s screen.


    Beep, beep, beep. [Analysisplete. This item is of Premium grade.]


    Seeing the green light on the disy, the two elders were instantly surprised.


    The young man before them managed to actually increase the equipment''s grade just by using an enhancement scroll!


    It would be impossible for a four-star cksmith to be capable of that.


    The only way was to know the test questions in advance and conduct targeted training a few months in advance.


    However, the tests in the guild were changed once a month, so there was no possibility of cheating.


    That meant the young man before them had the abilities of a five-star cksmith when it came to the production of enhancement scrolls.


    "The younger generation will be formidable..."


    Ai Bo could not help sighing. Lian Chun was also curious as to which master cksmith had taught such a young and outstanding student.


    The second step was to check the equipment''spleteness. Some strengthening methods required the equipment to be damaged, such as destroying gemstones and recing them with new ones.


    Although that could increase the quality, it would inevitably damage the socket.


    Some would even change part of the materials, which was equivalent to destroying the reconstruction, and that would also be considered cheating.


    However, the result was obvious. The equipment did not show any signs of damage. It only had a single enhancement scroll added.


    The third condition to test was speed. One had to travel 100 meters within 6 seconds to pass.


    However, this test required them to go to another ce to take the test. Therefore, they had to check Jiang Zhou''s equipment first before they could take the third Test.


    However, they were stunned.


    At this point, Jiang Zhou had already fallen into a deep state of self-doubt.


    One could say that he had never suffered such a huge blow since he was young.


    When he discovered that Wu Mo had actually fulfilled the first two conditions, his heart broke even more.


    He had spent half an hour in the workshop in a daze. He had no idea how tobine and use the limited materials.


    Not to mention, he had to draw an enhancement scroll.


    His current submission was no different from handing in a nk paper.


    It waspletely disgraceful.


    However, he had never suffered such grievances since he was little. Facing this overwhelming sense of defeat, he could not muster up a trace of courage.


    He almost raised his hand to give up.


    He had not done so only because he was concerned about his reputation.


    After all, the people standing at the side were his friend who had been in the same ss as him for three years. If he forfeited, they would die ofughter.


    As such, the situation in the testing area suddenly became awkward.


    Elder Lian Chun, who was sitting on the side, immediately said, "It looks like you can take the speed test first. The other cksmith still needs some time to prepare."


    Lian Chun nced at Jiang Zhou, who was standing to the side in his suit that was embroidered with golden thread. Then, he immediately stood up and walked out the door.


    Elder Ai Bo felt the same way. In his opinion, the fellow named Jiang Zhou had already lost thepetition. There was no need for them to care about thetter''s thoughts anymore.


    Wu Mo nodded and promptly followed after him with the boots.


    Only a few of the academy''s other students were left behind. They stood in ce, not knowing what to do.


    Meanwhile, Wu Mo followed the two guild elders and left the forging test building.


    He turned a corner and walked to the other side.


    It was about 100 meters away, and they soon arrived at another building.


    It was theboratory building, which was used for various experiments in the field of forging.


    On the first floor, there was a strength test and a defense test device.


    As he walked through the door, a 100-meter track appeared in front of him.


    The test area covered an area of more than 1,000 meters. There were all kinds of testing equipment, which made it look very professional.


    The three of them approached a runway, where they were noticed by theboratory''s staff. Soon, the staff came forward to help keep things in order.


    "As long as you can cross a distance of 100 meters in 6 seconds, you''llplete the five-star test. If the enhancement effect provided by the equipment is not up to par, I hope you''ll be able to ept the result with poise and try again next time!" Elder Lian Chun said calmly.


    He said this in the hope that Wu Mo would not be affected by short-term victory and defeat but would continue to work hard.


    In fact, neither elder was optimistic about the young man''s chances of passing the test.


    A speed of 100 meters per 6 seconds was equivalent to 17 meters per second.


    That was not too difficult for a cultivator.


    However, the young man in front of him was an out-and-out cksmith. His physical fitness was no different from that of an ordinary person. Even with the equipment''s help, it would be difficult for him to break through.


    "Alright, Elder. I''ll do my best."


    Wu Mo nodded with a serious expression and immediately stood at the starting point.


    [The runner''s information has been entered. The assessment may begin at any time.]


    The moment Wu Mo stood at the starting point, the screen embedded in the wall not far away suddenly lit up.


    Then, the general information about Wu Mo''s body, including his weight, height, and muscle density, was recorded.


    In a 10-second sprint, a 0.1-second error was fatal, so the guild had installed a set of digital measuring tools years ago.


    It could urately record the time and speed of running, and the error would not exceed a millisecond.


    "If you''re ready, you may begin," Elder Ai Bo reminded him with a smile.


    Wu Mo shook his body, trying to find his rhythm.


    He had just put on the equipment, and the effect of the equipment had be a part of him.


    He lowered his body slightly and stared at the end of the track.


    All the muscles in his body were tense, and there was only one thing on his mind at the moment: Run as fast as possible.


    After he adjusted his body, Wu Mo immediately took a step forward.


    As an ordinary person with average physical fitness, the distance between each step he took when he ran was about 60 centimeters.


    However, the effects of the boots increased the span of his step to 1.2 meters, and the stamina consumption was also reduced by half.


    That meant, as long as he could run 100 meters in 12 seconds, he would be able to reach the speed of 6 seconds after putting on the boots.


    This was because the equipment was not impacted by gravity or air resistance when it was in effect, and it could fully disy the speed of the enhancement.

 Chapter 217 A Hundred Meters In Six Seconds, Wu Mos Strength Exceeds The Elders Expectations

    The moment he raised his foot, he immediately moved forward by about 60 centimeters. When his footnded, he ran another 60 centimeters.


    In this way, he managed to cover twice the distance with one step while consuming the same amount of physical strength.


    While this effect was excellent for daily use, it waspletely useless inbat.


    Wu Mo was running at an unbelievable speed on the t track.


    If one observed carefully, one would notice that each of his steps covered twice the distance, but his pace remained the same.


    In the eyes of ordinary people, the first half of his movements could almost be described as a sh.


    "That''s how it works!"


    The result that appeared before the two elders waspletely beyond their expectations.


    They knew that Wu Mo''s forging skills were outstanding. Whether it was in the details or his imagination, he far surpassed his peers.


    However, the creation of the enhancement scroll was something that those below four stars had no chance toe into contact with.


    They had set the test up in such a way because they wanted to distinguish between a four-star cksmith and a five-star cksmith in the shortest time possible.


    However, Wu Mo had seeded in drawing such an excellent enhancement scroll with limited materials. His skills were already at the level of a five-star cksmith.


    It was not what they had expected.


    Six seconds passed by in a sh, and by then, Wu Mo had appeared at the end of the track. His entire body was like an afterimage as he arrived in an instant.


    The numbers on the LCD TV embedded in the wall finally stopped moving and showed 5.873 seconds.


    The two elders gasped when they saw the result.


    This young man had actuallypleted the five-star ranking test, and he seemed to have more energy left.


    "Don''t look at me. I didn''t expect this kid to pass the test either."


    Seeing Lian Chun stare at him in surprise, Ai Bo immediately exined.


    The ability that Wu Mo disyed far exceeded their expectations.


    They had worked in the cksmith Guild for a long time, but it was rare to see such a genius.


    Even in Jingdu base city, where experts were asmon as clouds, the strength that this young man disyed still topped the pyramid among the younger generation.


    Seeing the young man walk over quickly, Ai Bo''s curiosity grew. Which master could have taught such an outstanding disciple?


    "Elders, I wonder if I''ve passed?"


    Wu Mo rushed over, but after he saw the numbers on the screen, the tension in his heart immediately dissipated.


    However, out of caution, he still asked.


    "This calls for a... congrattions on passing the five-star ranking test. Lian Chun, take him to the Information Department to apply for a certificate and clothing. I''ll head to the test building to take a look," Ai Bo said with a smile.


    He looked at Wu Mo with eyes full of admiration.


    Lian Chun immediately nodded. "Let''s go, kid. I''ll bring you to get your certificate."


    He had a kind voice, and the way he smiled with his hands behind his back made him look like amon old man.


    However, everyone in the entire test building was very humble before this elder. It was obvious that thetter had a great reputation in the guild.


    Wu Mo quickly followed and walked toward the Information Department with the elder.


    After he handed in the boots, he sessfully changed his certificate.


    The small booklet was heavy. Three neat words were written on the certificate''s green leather. The first page had Wu Mo''s photo and some rted information. On the corresponding page, the words "five-star cksmith" were written in ck and white.


    Below it was the cksmith Guild''s red seal.


    The certificate was already in effect, and it came with legal responsibility. If it was arbitrarily altered or forged, it would vite thews of the Nine Provinces.


    After that, Wu Mo applied for four sets of cksmith clothing with different styles.


    They corresponded to the four seasons: spring, summer, autumn, and winter.


    The cksmith suits had many functions, such as venttion, protection against the wind, keeping warm, and so on. Although it could not be considered a piece of high-quality equipment, it was many times better than ordinary clothes.


    Whether it was the material, workmanship, or design, they were all in the best state. The styles were also slightly different. Each city and province allowed small-scale modifications.


    However, the general style of the robe had to be fixed, and the decorative pattern on the chest could not be modified to other styles.


    That was because it could directly reflect the cksmith''s strength.


    Wu Mo changed into the autumn cksmith suit in the changing room, and he could feel that the five-star cksmith suit had better functions than the four-star one.


    As he looked at himself in the mirror, not only did he appear more energetic, but he also exuded a more luxurious aura, which was something that no other person could pull off.


    After walking out of the changing room, Wu Mo and Elder Ai Bo parted ways in the garden.


    "Have you considered taking the test for six stars?" Elder AI Bo said with a smile as he looked at Wu Mo, who was dressed like a gentleman.


    "Elder, you must be joking. I''ve already tried my best for the five-star test. How would I dare to challenge the six-star one?" Wu Mo cupped his hands and replied.


    His every movement was polite, and his attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, so others did not feel restrained when interacting with him.


    "Hehe, we''ll wait for the next time then. You''ve already brought us enough surprises today, so I''ll have to take my time.


    After officially bidding farewell to Elder Ai Bo, Wu Mo walked out of the guild.


    At this time, the students from the noble academy should have already left. If he headed out earlier, he could still make it.


    With the intention of teaching the, a lesson, Wu Mo immediately quickened his pace.


    They passed through the courtyard and walked out of the guild''s main entrance.


    Wu Mo stood on the sidewalk and looked around, but he did not see any young cksmiths.


    "Did they leave early?" Wu Mo touched his nose and guessed in his heart.


    He had wanted to teach those people a lesson, especially that cocky Jiang Zhou.


    He did not lead the exemry life of a noble genius, but he had the illness of one. He clearly needed to be taught a lesson.


    There was also the girl with the ponytail who had been sarcastic toward him.


    Wu Mo felt angry just thinking about it.


    "They got lucky today."


    His stomach rumbled, and Wu Mo''s fierce face immediately copsed.


    He muttered to himself as he hurried to the end of the street, nning to find something to eat nearby.


    A few minutester, Elder Lian Chun brought the 10-odd young cksmiths out of the guild.


    It was four in the afternoon.


    After Wu Mo had his meal, he left a small restaurant.


    He used his phone to book a car online, and a few minutester, he got into the car and rushed to the Research Department.


    He had left the Research Department before nine in the morning and just returned. It was not a stretch to say that today''s events were beyond Wu Mo''s expectations.

 Chapter 218 Forging Wholeheartedly

    It was as if he had bought ten sets of clothes when he was shopping and had only intended to sell a jacket.


    It was quite ridiculous.


    The journey from the capital''s cksmith Guild to the fifth Research Department took nearly two hours, and the fare cost more than £¤10.


    Wu Mo took out his ID and entered the fifth Research Department.


    At this moment, the sky above his head was gradually darkening, so Wu Mo quickly walked toward the vi.


    The day was almost over, but the flowers and grass in the courtyard were still full of vitality and exuding an exuberant green.


    He pushed the door open and returned to his living room.


    Wu Mo sat down on the couch first and began to n what to do next.


    He had gone out and brought back the materials needed for the Spirit Wave Sword. They included the High-frequency Stone, graphite powder, ceramic fiber, and other precious as well as rare items.


    He could already start forging.


    It was just that strictly speaking, the Spirit Wave Sword was an assembly of three parts, which were an osciting device, a pulse device, and a molecr handle.


    Only after these three devices werepletely forged could they be assembled into the Spirit Wave Sword.


    Wu Mo needed toplete the core part of the weapon first, the oscition device.


    He had to solve the problem of energy supply, whereby it had to be durable enough to produce longsting effects.


    As for the knowledge required to make the device, Wu Mo had already studied more than half of it. He would be able toplete it within 10 days without issue!


    "Okay, let''s do this."


    With a snap of his fingers, Wu Mo immediately ran up to the second floor. After closing the doors and windows with practiced ease, he calmed his mind and entered the forging space.


    His five senses were cut off, and all he could see was darkness.


    When Wu Mo opened his eyes, he was already in the forging space.


    The high-quality workbench was in front of him, and the furnace, mold machine, and forging table were behind it.


    "Phew, let''s start."


    He took a deep breath and immediately ced all the materials he had obtained from the auction on the work table. A hint of determination shed in his eyes.


    He caressed the smooth and cold work table, and his entire person was immersed in a state of calmness.


    He began to forge the oscition device.


    Wu Mo was the only busy entity in the boundless forging space.


    He would fuse the materials and look up information.


    Then, he would go back in time to gain experience from each failure, oveing difficult problems continuously.


    Sometimes, he would frown and contemte because he could not understand or master a certain technology.


    Other times, he would be overjoyed when he solved a difficult problem and cleared the doubts in his heart.


    However, it was more of a boring forging process, where he had to polish every step to the best.


    Wu Mo stayed in the forging space for more than 10 hours every day, with the same drive as the first day.


    In the blink of an eye, he had already spent 28 days in the forging space.


    His daily routine had been very simple during this long period.


    Every morning, he would get up, run, and eat. Then, he would set up a recliner in the courtyard and read books.


    In the afternoon, he would asionally go out for a stroll, but most of the time, he would return to his bedroom and record his thoughts, as well as daily challenges, with a pen and paper.


    At around 8.00 pm, after eating dinner, he would officially enter the forging space and put the day''s thoughts and insights into action.


    With his careful polishing, the three devices had begun to take shape.


    They were only a few days away frompletion.


    During this period, Wu Mo had been to the internal reference room a few times. Unfortunately, after nearly five months of diligent reading, he had read most of the books there. While he did not really have a photographic memory, he had learned plenty of skills.


    The day before yesterday, he returned a book to the internal reference room and came back empty-handed for the first time.


    When the two staff members noticed that Wu Mo had seemingly given up on the internal room, they were visibly surprised.


    Aside from going back and forth to the internal reference room, Wu Mo did not contact anyone.


    He even blocked the group chat on his phone.


    Wu Mo''s whole body was like a taut bowstring, especially during thest one or two days.


    He did intend on rxing in the slightest.


    It had been 30 days since Wu Mo epted the weapon development mission.


    He had reached the end of his cultivation.


    He had used almost all of his skills and finally assembled the three parts of the weapon together. He had utilized an array to stabilize the energy within as well.


    After a simple test, he found that the energy was stable, so he stopped working on it.


    The Spirit Wave Sword, which had taken him a month to forge, was not of a very high grade. Nevertheless, because it had been integrated with a lot of scientific knowledge, Wu Mo did not understand how the weapon worked in the beginning.


    Fortunately, he had enough patience. After reading the documents sent by the system twice, he finally understood the basic principles.


    In the end, hepleted this product that could be said to be abination of spirit energy and science.


    In his bedroom on the second floor of the vi, Wu Mo looked at the Spirit Wave Sword on the table with an excited expression on his face.


    It was a ck, cylindrical piece of equipment. Its main body had been cast from a piece of fused metal, and its alloy surface had been coated with ayer of Star Rock paint that could iste high heat.


    It made sure that when the oscition device was activated, the high temperature generated would not cause damage to the weapon''s handle.


    The two ends of the cylinder were fixed with circles of rubber threads, and three buttons that emitted a faint light were at the center.


    They corresponded to the middle, high, and low gears.


    The design of the entire hilt was quite modern, and at first nce, it had a little cyberpunk ir.


    There was a ck hole in the front end of the hilt, and there was also a pair of strange devices embedded on both sides.


    The sword was only 30 centimeters long, and it weighed about 580 grams.


    ''System, please appraise this equipment.''


    Wu mo could not wait any longer as he muttered in his heart.


    [Beep beep beep. Equipment identification sessful. A hundred points have been consumed. Remaining points: 227,986. The equipment''s attributes are as follows:


    [Equipment Type: Melee weapon


    [Equipment Name: Spirit Wave Sword.


    [Equipment Grade: Epic


    [System Score: 68 points.


    [Equipment Effects: 1. Heat Wave (Releases a heat wave when activated, causing great damage to the target. Duration: 10 seconds. Cooldown: 5 minutes)


    [2. Dimer sh (Activated. After hitting the enemy, the damage dealt will ignore all equipment. Duration: 10 minutes. Cooldown: 5 minutes. Note: Damage immunity effect cannot be applied.)


    [3. Pulse (Attackes with pulse burn, which is constant.)


    [Additional Effect: The strong light produced by the pulse will cause the prized stealth to fail.


    [Rune Effect: Tier 2 Rune Tip (When attacked, a mental spike will be produced, causing mental damage to the enemy. Severe pain willst for three seconds. Cooldown: 10 minutes. Note: The effect is rted to the strength of the enemy''s spiritual power.)


    [Array Effect: Tier 2 Storm Array (When there is a strong wind, the wearer''s movement speed will increase ording to the level of the wind, up to three times higher)


    [Equipment Evaluation: This is a product of the collision between modern technology and the revival of spirit energy. It can instantly cause a lot of damage, but its cooldown time is one of its weaknesses, which can be easily countered. Even so, it is still a rare one among Epic-grade equipment.]

 Chapter 219 Participating In The Test

    The attributes of the Spirit Wave Sword disyed on the system''s interface were not beyond Wu Mo''s expectations.


    However, he was still satisfied with the results.


    The Spirit Wave Sword had a total of three attack methods, and the most powerful one was no different from an actual heat wave.


    Heat Wave could release a high temperature of over ten thousand degrees. As long as it came into contact with a living creature, it would be difficult for the creature to survive.


    Even with the best equipment, it was impossible to iste such a high temperature.


    However, although Heat Wave was powerful, it could onlyst for a short time of 10 seconds.


    Moreover, after using it, the firing tube on the hilt would definitely need a long cooling time due to the high temperature.


    It could only be used at a critical moment.


    The second effect, Dimer sh, was a result of the oscition device.


    It could produce extremely fine rays that could easily pass through the molecules of objects, which was why it could ignore the defense effects of all equipment.


    Although theser''s destructive power was not as great as the first, it was still much better than that of cold weapons.


    It was also very effective against heavy enemies.


    Even if the opponent wore the strongest armor and held a heavy shield, the Spirit Wave Sword could easily break through his defense.


    As for Pulse, its effect was even worse. However, it was in a constant normal state and had no cooldown. This made up for the Spirit Wave Sword''s vacuum period.


    Whenever the light pulse came into contact with a physical body, it would produce a burning effect. Although it would not kill the enemy in one blow, high-frequency pulses could cause various kinds of additional damage to the enemy, such as cornea damage, heart rate eleration, irritability, anxiety, and other situations.


    Overall, Wu Mo was extremely satisfied.


    In terms of power, it was only of Epic grade, but the instant damage it could cause was stronger than that of most Legendary equipment.


    In terms of portability, this thing was only 580 grams, and it was about 30 centimeters long without being activated. For double insurance, it could also be kept in one''s backpack.


    As for its ws, there were also quite a few of them. The effects of the high-power attacks could notst for too long, and the energy consumption was too great. The High-frequency Stone would already need to be reced in three months, or else, the weapon''s power would be greatly reduced.


    Apart from that, the Spirit Wave Sword did not have any other ws.


    "Although it hasn''t reached the level that I want it to, it''s not bad."


    Wu Mo nodded and immediately kept his things.


    He had spent 30 days putting the system''s idea into action, and that was considered fast.


    No one knew how much effort he had put in and how lonely he had been.


    He got up and went downstairs, taking advantage of the fact that it was still early to continue bathing in the sun.


    Afterpleting the project with great difficulty, the tension in his mind finally eased a little.


    The warm sunlight shone down, filling him with a sense ofziness.


    Wu Mo looked at the blue sky and thin clouds before he gradually closed his eyes. He did not think about anything and only immersed himself in the current feeling of leisure.


    ¡­


    On the other side, in one of the fifth Research Department''s buildings...


    More than a dozen project executives sat across from each other at a long table in a spacious meeting room.


    They were discussing the cold weaponmission.


    Academician Xu was sitting at the head of the table, and Professor Liu, as well as another professor, were sitting on either side of him.


    The group of people sitting on both sides of the long table consisted of researchers who had already epted the cold weapon forging project.


    Most of the researchers were only around 30 years old, and some of them were 40 years old.


    "Academician Xu, tomorrow is the deadline for the project. Why hasn''t that graduate student named Wu Mo submitted his forging product yet? How about we stop waiting for him and start the final test?"


    A young man in a light blue denim jacket could not wait and immediately raised the question when he saw that the leader had no intention of speaking.


    To the others, his words hit the nail on the head. Now that he was the first one to speak, the others around him all chimed in.


    "Yeah, there''s not enough time. Most have already finished their designs half a month ago. Even those who were a littlete would have finished the final polishing a week ago."


    "Just because of this Wu Mo, we''ve wasted so much of everyone''s time."


    Faced with the dissatisfaction of the researchers in the conference room, Academician Xu could not make a decision.


    He had called Wu Mo several times in the past month, and every time he asked, Wu Mo would say that he was still working on it. However, it had been nearly a month since he had epted the task.


    What kind of dagger was it? It was still not ready after so long?


    Was this project that difficult for Wu Mo?


    ''Sigh, Wu Mo, don''t mess things up. The higher-ups have specifically instructed you to take action on this project. This is a great opportunity. If you screw it up, there will be consequences.''


    He hesitated.


    Xu Wuyue felt a little anxious when he thought about the leaders of the major institutionsing to the fifth Research Department to check on the project''s progress in half an hour.


    To him, Wu Mo was good in every way, but he did not have a sense of time. He was always thest one to finish.


    He could only hope that Wu Mo would report back on time like before.


    Xu Wuyue sighed at the thought.


    He raised his head and said to the crowd, "Everyone, please calm down. There''s still some time before the test. Let''s wait patiently."


    Xu Wuyue''s voice was calm and steady, but the other researchers were a little upset.


    They were all researchers, so why did they have to wait for a graduate student who had just joined the department?


    The boy was putting on too much of a show.


    "Hehe, don''t worry, Academician Xu. We''re not in a hurry. Wu Mo is very capable, and there won''t be any problems," a feminine-looking young man in a gray coat said with a smile in the crowd.


    "Maybe he''s sote because he''s giving everyone another surprise like the Invisibility Armor. Let''s wait and see."


    After he finished speaking, he looked at the crowd. Although he had a smile on his face, it gave people an ufortable feeling.


    "Yes. Everyone, believe in Wu Mo. Let''s just continue waiting."


    Academician Xu nodded and spoke calmly.


    The crowd exchanged looks, not knowing what to do.


    Did they not say that the leaders of the variousrge organizations would being over soon? Why did Academician Xu seem like he was fine?


    If he neglected the leaders, would he not be punished?


    No one could understand what Academician Xu was thinking.


    The entire meeting room fell silent.


    Just as the researchers were about to fall asleep, the ringtone from a mobile phone broke the silence.


    The others immediately perked up and looked around.


    Then, they looked at Academician Xu, who was on the phone.


    Everyone was stunned. Who would call the old man at this time?


    Had the leaders of the major organizations arrived?


    Right then, Xu Wuyue realized that it was Wu Mo who had called him. The anxiety on his face immediately disappeared, and it was seamlessly reced with joy.

 Chapter 220 The Arrival Of The District Leaders

    "Hey, Academician Xu, I''ve already finished designing the dagger. When do we start the test?"


    Wu Mo was on his way home from the cafeteria. He was worried that he would miss the project''s deadline, so he wanted to call Academician Xu in advance to ask.


    However, Xu Wuyue, who was in the meeting room, was stunned when he heard Wu Mo''s words.


    Earlier, he was still grumbling about how Wu Mocked any sense of time. Now, he had appeared.


    Xu Wuyue was overjoyed, and he immediately said, "Since you have the time, let''s do it now. Everyone''s here. You can wait at the cultural square first. We''ll go to the test field togetherter."


    Wu Mo did not think much of it and promptly nodded. He changed direction and walked toward the cultural square.


    There were several buildings for testing around the cultural square, which covered a vast area and had excellent scenery. There were all kinds of information boards around it, and they covered everything from the beginnings of the fifth Research Department to the life experiences of various sages.


    At the center of the square stood a four-meter-tall stone statue of the elusive President.


    Simultaneously, the information signs all over the ce confirmed the cultural and academic spirit of the fifth Research Department, which was also amon ce to receive important leaders.


    Wu Mo rushed to the cultural square, while on the other side, everyone in the conference room stood up and prepared to leave.


    Academician Xu lowered his head and looked at the time. There were only about 10 minutes left before the leaders arrived. Fortunately, he still had time.


    Although the cold weapon research project was only a Level B one, it was one of the more important battlefield projects. Therefore, many leaders were concerned about it.


    At this time, other researchers had heavy tasks. Only the fifth Research Department had no core technology breakthroughs for the time being, so most of theplicated tasks were sent there.


    Recently, spatial cracks had been appearing frequently around the battlefield, and most of the beasts that appeared were difficult to deal with.


    Standard weapons were quite effective in mid-distance battles.


    However, if the killer got close, a weapon that was more than a meter long would obviously be restrictive.


    Besides, the current individual melee equipment could no longer cause effective damage to high-level fierce beasts.


    In such an environment, a sharp, durable, multi-purpose dagger was urgently needed by the cultivators on the battlefield.


    Due to the urgent need, many leaders turned their attention to the fifth Research Department, hoping that thetter could take on the heavy responsibility and forge the corresponding equipment in a short time.


    The frequent appearance of spatial cracks and the recovery of the spirit energy had graduallye to a head. All of these sent a message to Nine Provinces: The wheel of time was approaching.


    They had to make preparations in advance to face all the challenges that might appear.


    With vicious beasts surrounding them, cultivators and cksmiths had to take on the responsibility of protecting the peace of the city.


    Relevant institutions were also subtly changing in the dark.


    The first to have an impact was the military.


    The Nine Provinces had managed to protect the city for 100 years under the premise of the Ten Thousand Races invading thanks to the Military Department''smander.


    Of course, the military was also divided into three main types. The first type was the Hunter Bureau, which was out killing fierce beasts all year round. The targets of the Hunter Bureau were usually high-level invading monsters in the war zone or other areas.


    The second type was the City Defense Army, which was also led by the military. They were mainly responsible for the order and safety of the major base cities.


    Even if the current situation was turbulent and fierce beasts were lurking around, illegal activities in the city were still prevalent. The establishment of the City Defense Army was to maintain the people''s safety and deter those criminals.


    The third type was the Scientific Research Agency, which participated in the research and development of science, technology, and Divine weapons. The eleven Research Departments, as well as other research and development institutions in the Nine Provinces, all belonged to the Scientific Research Agency.


    Of course, the forces in the Nine Provinces were far more than that.


    Other than the absolute ruler or the military, there were financial groups, various forging families, private mercenary groups, and the mayor''s office.


    The mayor''s office was in charge of safety in the city and the surrounding viges on a prefecture level. Zhao Lu, the mayor of Shanglin City, whom Wu Mo knew, was the person in charge of the mayor''s office.


    Meanwhile, the financial groups had traces of themselves in all the major cities.


    For example, Treasure Pavilion in Shanglin City and Treasure Trove Pavilion in the capital were all representatives of the consortiums. From the production and sales of clothing workshops to the major listedpanies, they were all part of the consortiums'' power.


    As for the aristocratic families, it was even easier to understand. They were ns that made a living from forging.


    Since these families had mastered a lot of forging skills, they were able to develop the city positively. Moreover, they sent talents out every year, which was also one of the foundations of every city.


    Last but not least, the mercenary groups were groups of cultivators formed by a few factions. They mostly lived on the edge of a de. Their jobs included hunting vicious beasts for their fur and materials, on top of escorting important people on the move.


    Among the people visiting the fifth Research Department this time, there were not only big shots from the Scientific Research Agency but also high-ranking military leaders.


    As such, the fifth Research Department had already prepared a formal ceremony to wee these leaders.


    It was 10 o''clock in the morning, and most of the senior researchers and major professors had arrived at the cultural square.


    Academician Xu was standing at the head of the table, and he was staring at the door.


    At this moment, the roads outside the main gate of the Research Department had been closed, and they were only waiting for the military vehicles carrying the leaders to enter.


    Not long after, an inspector''s vehicle drove over from the corner of the street.


    What followed was a military motorcycle that had been deployed to maintain order.


    Then, several dark green military vehicles drove into the street.


    At this sight, the people waiting in the fifth Research Department became excited.


    The leaders of variousrge organizations and some famous cksmiths were seated in these military vehicles. It had been a few years since they hadst received such arge group of leaders.


    Right then, Academician Xu and Professor Liu both felt emotional, and their calm hearts started to palpitate.


    The Research Department''s gate opened, and the military vehicle drove in directly before finally stopping around the square.


    The crowd immediately gathered around them. The two professors and Academician Xu appeared at the front of the crowd.


    Bai Li, the director of the Hunter Bureau, Chu Li, the captain of the City Defense Army, and the heads of the major consortiums'' Investment Departments in the capital who had been invited by the military, stepped out of the military vehicles. There were also a few experienced cksmiths who had worked with the military before.


    There were more than 10 of them in total. Adding on the group of cultivators who were escorting them, they almost upied an entire corner of the cultural square.


    Xu Wuyue immediately stepped forward and cupped his hands.


    "Leaders and people in charge of all districts, I''m delighted that you are able to visit the fifth Research Department to inspect and guide our work despite your busy schedule. On behalf of the Research Department, I would like to sincerely wee and thank all of you!"

 Chapter 221 Disappointment

    Just as Academician Xu was greeting the leaders, Wu Mo arrived at the scene as if nothing had happened.


    At that moment, many senior researchers were already present, and Wu Mo was standing at the outermost, acting as a helper.


    "Why are there so many people here?"


    Seeing the military vehicles and dozens of fully armed cultivators in front of him, Wu Mo could not help but click his tongue.


    Was this not just an ordinary project delivery?


    There should not have been the need for so many people toe. Also, looking at Academician Xu''s respectful expression, it was possible that the current visitors were in a higher position than the ones who had tested the Invisibility Armor.


    Thinking of this, Wu Mo suddenly had a bad feeling.


    These people were not there for him, were they?


    Wu Mo immediately threw the thought to the back of his mind.


    Even Academician Xu had to be respectful toward them. How could he tell if they were just ordinary researchers?


    Just as he was wondering when he could start the test, the crowd before him separated on their own ord.


    He subconsciously looked up and saw Academician Xu walking in his direction with a group of big shots.


    "Oh... it can''t be such a coincidence!"


    Wu Mo''s pupils contracted slightly because he saw a familiar face among the leaders who were walking over.


    It was Liao Dongcheng, the head of the southeastern war zone''s Military Department, whom he had met a month and a half ago.


    He was stunned.


    ''I just developed a closebat weapon, and so many leaders are here for me?''


    Wu Mo started to doubt his life.


    He did not like to attract attention, but this was a day that countless researchers dreamed of.


    Being able to attract the attention of the big shots from so many institutions, his future was bound to be smooth.


    When the surrounding researchers saw the big shots walking toward the young graduate student, they began to discuss who thetter was and why he could attract so much attention from the leaders.


    Right then, Academician Xu had already brought a group of rted personnel to Wu Mo.


    He immediately began to introduce them to each other.


    "Director Bai, Captain Chu, this is Wu Mo, the cksmith who developed the Invisibility Armor. If you have any questions, you can ask him now," Xu Wuyue said in a gentle voice.


    Professor Liu quickly added, "Some time ago, Wu Mo visited the Third Military Region in North China. After taking note of the local soldiers'' needs, he immediately started the research and development on daggers for meleebat. He''s even led many researchers and is considered a role model for the new young people."


    Bai Li, the Hunter Bureau''s director, and Chu Li, the City Defense Army''s captain, looked at each other. Then, their eyes immediately fell on Wu Mo, who was before them.


    They had long heard of Wu Mo''s name and had seen his picture in the information they received.


    However, when they saw him in person, they were still surprised by his young age.


    They could not believe that such a sophisticated piece of equipment like the Invisibility Armor had been made by a student who had graduated less than half a year ago.


    The two of them were a little surprised, and they did not listen to what Academician Xu and Professor Liu said at all.


    When they first saw Wu Mo, their reaction was not to understand his life experience or his unyielding academic spirit.


    They did not care about what kind of equipment he was researching.


    They just wanted to know how Wu Mo''s improvement on the Invisibility Armor project was going and how long it would take for mass production.


    Bai Li, the director of the capital''s Hunter Bureau, was the first to speak.


    "Hello, Wu Mo. My name is Bai Li. I''d like to ask you about your improvements to the Invisibility Armor that you previously developed. Is it suitable to be mass-produced for the troops yet?


    "If you develop a new product in the future, you must remember to let our brothers in the Hunter Bureau try it out first."


    Bai Li''s attitude and voice were warm as if he had seen an old acquaintance whom he had not met for a long time.


    His words alsopletely confused Xu Wuyue and the other professors.


    What was going on? Did Director Bai Li know Wu Mo?


    At this moment, not only were the surrounding professors shocked, but the design assistant working under Director Bai Li was too.


    This assistant had followed Bai Li and gained a lot of experience, hence had also seen many big shots in his time.


    However, he had never seen Director Bai show such a friendly attitude toward anyone.


    In the past, he had even been indifferent toward peak six-star professors.


    It did not matter if the other person had a high position in the state organization. The director had always been very independent and had always possessed a strong personality.


    Yet, now, he was so warm toward a young man in his 20s. The contrast shocked his assistant.


    Even Captain Chu Li, who had been friends with Bai Li for seven to eight years, found this a novel urrence.


    The Invisibility Armor was not that amazing in the eyes of powerhouses at their level. It was not at the level of being able to transcend time either.


    However, their men were in urgent need of it. After all, invisibility cloaks could greatly reduce the probability of injury or death in battle.


    If everyone could equip it, theirbat ability would certainly improve.


    It was considered a piece of equipment with a good price-performance ratio.


    What made the equipment so rare and valuable was the fact that it had been made by a young cksmith.


    He would definitely be able to make greater breakthroughs in the future since he could achieve something like this in his 20s.


    So, Bai Li''s great attitude toward Wu Mo had to be because of that.


    With that in mind, frown lines unwittingly appeared on Chu Li''s forehead.


    ''You''re good, Bai Li. You''re actually the first to win over the country''s pir of support. I''ll settle the score with you after this is over!''


    Chu Li suppressed the thoughts in his heart and turned his gaze to Wu Mo.


    He wanted to hear more information about the Invisibility Armor.


    Wu Mo was facing many burning gazes, so even though he had always been calm and steady, he could not take it anymore.


    He scratched his head in embarrassment and bluntly said, "I''m sorry, Mr. Bai. I haven''t been working on the Invisibility Armor for the past month. I''ve been designing melee daggers."


    Wu Mo did not know how to deal with Bai Li''s expectations, so he might as well be direct and not hide anything.


    After all, he was not some superhuman. He could not continue to develop daggers while he continued to mass-produce Invisibility Armor.


    Academician Xu and Professor Liu''s faces changed.


    Bai Li and Chu Li, who were standing at the head of the table, were even more shocked.


    As a result, the entire scene went from lively to silent.


    There was not the slightest bit of overexertion.


    The researchers on the outside who were not aware of the situation dug their ears, thinking that they were going deaf.


    The silence did notst long, and soon, a new incident was brewing.


    "Nonsense!


    "Why did you make a stupid dagger instead of working on the useful Invisibility Armor? What''s the point of that?"


    Bai Li''s expression was a little unsightly. He had put aside military affairs and made a difficult trip there. He had originally wanted to order a few Invisibility Armor, but now, he would leave empty-handed.


    "Who gave you this mission? Don''t you know your priorities?" he immediately asked. Can''t you just leave the dagger to a senior researcher?"

 Chapter 222 Interrogation

    At this moment, not only was Bai Li''s mood fluctuating greatly, even Chu Li''s eyes could not help but twitch. He nned to find the person in charge after this matter was over!


    In the crowd, facing the questioning of the two high-ranking leaders, Wu Mo appeared calm.


    He did not n on exining anything, and he did not want to put the me on Academician Xu.


    "The dagger isn''t bad either," he said seriously. "I designed it seriously this time. It''s as good as the Invisibility Armor."


    Wu Mo''s answer disappointed Bai Li, Chu Li, and the other leaders.


    The Invisibility Armor was obviously the right path, but the young man in front of him wanted to study the dagger. He waspletely taking the wrong path.


    They had wasted a trip.


    "Alright, we respect your choice. With your intelligence, even if you study the dagger, you should be able to make a name for yourself."


    Bai Li''s expression changed, and his tone became indifferent.


    The design assistant knew that director Bai Li was obviously very disappointed. Although he gave his blessings on the surface, he was definitely not thinking the same thing.


    Chu Li, who was standing at the side, felt that Bai Li''s words were nonsense.


    How powerful could a dagger be?


    Could he exterminate those rank-five feral beasts or even higher with a single sh?


    The reason why they were so careful was because of the Invisibility Armor. They wanted to reduce the probability of their brothers getting injured.


    But now, everything had gone beyond their expectations.


    In his opinion, although the young man named Wu Mo''s forging skills were not bad, he did not listen to advice and took the wrong path. He would definitely regret his choice in the future.


    many of the heads of investment of the consortiums standing behind looked at Wu Mo with disappointment.


    He was still too young, unable to even grasp such a good opportunity to stand out, and had even indirectly offended two important figures in the capital.


    He would definitely not have any future prospects.


    In the crowd, Liao Dongcheng frowned slightly. he looked a little confused, but more so, he was puzzled.


    He did not know why Wu Mo would choose such a thankless thing.


    The dagger''s upper limit was clear, and it could only be used for closebat. Even if it was of high quality, it could not bepared to the Invisibility Armor.


    "Sigh..."


    "Rather than wasting time here, why don''t we go and see the works of others?"


    A few older research professors looked at the unmoving crowd and could not help but sigh.


    "There must be other outstanding cksmiths in such arge research institute. Aren''t we here to observe the cold weapon test?"


    Seeing that the situation seemed to have gone out of control, Academician Xu and the other professors suddenly became anxious.


    When Wu Mo epted the mission, it was clearly an order from the other leaders of the military.


    However, this information was not connected to the system of the City Defense Army and the Hunter Bureau.


    That was why the current situation had urred.


    However, now that the two officers ''impression of Wu mo had worsened, it would be difficult to correct it!


    Just as the few of them were anxiously thinking of countermeasures, a voice suddenly rang out from the quiet crowd.


    "Wu mo, take out your newly forged dagger and show it to everyone to avoid any misunderstandings."


    Liao Dongcheng, who was in the crowd, spoke out without warning.


    Originally, he had no say in this group of leaders.


    However, he was worried that Wu Mo''s future career would be affected because of this.


    After all, thest time he tested the invisibility cloak, there was a misunderstanding. At that time, he was just as disappointed as the two leaders were now.


    However, Wu Mo''s equipmentter disyed an extremely powerful effect.


    That was why Liao Dongcheng took the risk of being disrespectful and asked.


    At the same time, he was also very curious. With Wu Mo''s temperament, he would not waste a month''s time for a piece of equipment that did not require any skill.


    Could there be a misunderstanding?


    As soon as Liao Dongcheng said this, several leaders around him immediately looked at him. Their eyes seemed to be telling him not to be rash. If he offended Bai Li and Chu li, no one would be able to protect him.


    Fortunately, the two highest-ranking officials did not say anything.


    He just stared at Wu mo coldly.


    wu mo nodded. he understood that liao dongcheng wanted to help him out.


    He immediately had an idea.


    The next moment, a ck box appeared in his hand.


    At this moment, academician Xu and the two professors were a little nervous.


    The researchers at the periphery who had also epted the forging daggers also stretched their necks, wanting to see what kind of standard Wu mo, who had been ced in high hopes by many leaders, had.


    Under everyone''s watchful eyes, Wu mo immediately opened the box.


    The next moment, a 30-centimeter-long dagger hilt appeared in front of everyone.


    the outside of the tube was a circle of rubber, and one side was iid with gems.


    there were also unknown devices installed on the other side.


    The only thing that stood out in the open ck pipe was the three buttons in the center, which were slightly rted to modern technology.


    However, this thing didn''t look good at all. It was a semi-finished product that didn''t even have a de!


    looking into the box, the dagger that wu mo said wasparable to an invisibility cloak was actually a ck hilt.


    a cold glint shed across bai li''s eyes.


    In the Hunter Bureau, lying to the higher-ups was punishable by militaryw.


    This Wu mo guy in front of him was full of nonsense and didn''t put him in his eyes at all!


    This kind of person relied on his knowledge to be arrogant and looked down on everyone.


    With this kind of nature, he was not worthy of being a cksmith respected by tens of thousands of people!


    Chu li, the head Captain, saw that Bai Li was about to get serious and immediately knocked on the back of thetter''s hand subconsciously. At the same time, his lips moved and he mouthed, " Bai liaoqing, don''t be impulsive. Let the leaders of their Department handle this kind of thing.


    After being reminded by Chu li, Bai Li gradually controlled his cold emotions and snorted coldly. Then, he directly walked to the side.


    The military leaders at the back shook their heads secretly. This graduate student named Wu mo was still too young.


    He didn''t even look at the most basic situation.


    he had really overestimated the other party.


    when the dagger designers outside saw this, they couldn''t help but want tough.


    This Wu mo was really a talent. In a month''s time, he had made a strange hilt. He had simply let down the high regard that academician Xu had for him.


    This time, he had thrown his face at the other military headquarters.


    The entire fifth Research Institute would be aughing stock in the future.


    However, they could onlyugh in their hearts. In front of the leaders, they just followed silently and didn''t dare to speak.


    However, the one with the most emotional fluctuation was Liao Dongcheng, who had spoken first.


    He had thought that Wu mo would be able to take out an extremely gorgeous multi-purpose weapon and change everyone''s opinion of him.

 Chapter 223 Wu Mo Tells The Truth, But No One Believes Him

    He had even thought of an excuse in his heart, but the other party did not y by the rules at all. He actually took out a hilt that could not even be considered a semi-finished product.


    He was extremely embarrassed and said, "Oh... the style of your dagger is really strange. For safety''s sake, I''ll go and test itter."


    Liao Dongcheng did not know what to say. He stammered and looked a little embarrassed.


    "Alright, the test field is over there. Everyone, please follow me."


    As soon as Liao Dongcheng finished speaking, Professor Liu immediately took the opportunity to speak.


    He led the leaders, investors, and several senior leaders to the test field.


    The rest of the designers immediately followed.


    Wu Mo closed the box and followed after him.


    He knew that he had messed up this time, but he did not regret it because, throughout the entire process, he did not do anything wrong. He only described the actual situation once.


    Dozens of people walked toward the test field.


    However, the atmosphere waspletely different from when they first arrived.


    The two highest-ranking officials had cold faces at this moment.


    The professors felt like they were sitting on pins and needles, so they could only silently apany him on both sides.


    Along the way, many people''s eyes were still on Wu Mo.


    Wu Mo was the core of this project.


    However, it turned out like this. The designers who had participated in the project wanted to see how thetter would end up.


    Among the leaders who came to guide the work, one was there for the first time. His task was to investigate the progress of the Level B Project Dagger production.


    After entering the Research Department for so long, he had not obtained any useful information, so he could not hold back.


    Therefore, he took the opportunity to walk to Wu Mo''s side and asked about the dagger.


    "Wu Mo, didn''t you just say that this equipment''s actual effect is no less than the Invisibility Armor? Then tell me, what are the advantages of this thing?"


    When the little leader said this, the people in front of him could still hear their conversation even before they took a few steps.


    As for Wu Mo, he thought about it for a while.


    Then, with a serious expression, he said, "This dagger of mine only weighs 580 grams. It''s easy to carry around, and it''s not very big. It can also cut open an Army vehicle in a second. Even if it''s up against a rank-six feral, it''ll still cause great damage."


    Wu Mo exined the actual power of the Spirit Wave Sword.


    However, thetter was dumbfounded when he heard the answer.


    To be able to cut through a military vehicle with excellent defensive capabilities in one second?


    It could also cause great damage to Rank 6 ferals.


    Any equipment that could do the same was definitely Legendary grade or above.


    The surface of the military vehicle was made of a special metal. It could block bullets and shrapnel grenades and even block a full-power attack from a five-star cultivator without any damage.


    It had to be known that every military vehicle was jointly developed by many cksmiths in the military Region, and they were even equipped with level three defense formations. Even under the attack of a six-star xiuzhe, they could still retain arge amount of functions.


    how could it have been cut open by a dagger?


    As for causing harm to a feral of the sixth stage rank, that was even more impossible.


    The vicious beasts that came from the ten thousand races all had Ling power in their bodies. They wouldn''t cower in the face of xiuzhe of the same level.


    even many epic-grade weapons could not break through thetter''s defense, let alone a short knife that was only a few dozen centimeters long.


    If there was really someone who was not afraid of death and rushed over, he would probably be smashed into meat paste by the w before he could even make a move!


    This guy called Wu mo in front of him was just bragging!


    His eyes immediately widened, and his face turned as ck as iron.


    this thing can cut through a military vehicle? Wu mo, do you think we''re all fools? "


    The leader waspletely angry and questioned him directly without any mercy.


    Everyone''s eyes werepletely frozen. They didn''t know if Wu mo was really not afraid of death or if he really had the confidence.


    However, in the face of the leader''s overwhelming anger, Wu mo didn''t feel anything at all. Instead, he said in a tone of taking it for granted, " "My dagger can indeed achieve this effect. I didn''t lie to you."


    His words were undoubtedly the fuse to ignite the bomb.


    Bai Li, the director of the hunting Bureau, was so angry that he turned around and was about to leave.


    The head Captain of the city defense team, Chu li, also had a cold expression on his face as he followed closely behind.


    He also nned to immediately submit a report to the military headquarters after he returned and ask them to thoroughly investigate the fifth Research Institute''s style.


    He was obviously just an arrogant young cksmith, but they had bragged about him as a rare genius who could forge epoch-making equipment.


    Seeing the leaders turn around and leave, the researchers who originally wanted to show off in front of the leaders were suddenly dumbfounded.


    The situation changed rapidly.


    The professors were dumbfounded.


    Academician Xu also looked at Wu mo with a serious expression. His eyes seemed to be asking, " "Are you sure the dagger you forged is that powerful?"


    Wu mo nodded without hesitation.


    Although he had not tried it yet, it was also because there was no space in the vi where he was at.


    However, he was very confident in the power of the Spirit wave sword.


    after all, even the system had given him an excellent evaluation, so there was no way he could be wrong.


    He might even say that it was a little low. After all, the temperature was over ten thousand degrees. Even an aircraft carrier would not be able to withstand it without high-level arrays, let alone a military vehicle.


    Unless a fourth-grade or higher defense array was added to the facility, anything would be useless.


    Even a piece of alloy with a melting point of more than 4200 degrees could only withstand the heat for ten seconds after being sprayed with Starstone paint, let alone other things.


    On the other side, after academician Xu got Wu Mo''s approval, he immediately felt confident.


    His gaze drifted to his assistant.


    Thetter was academician Xu''s right-hand man, so he immediately understood.


    She immediately cleared her throat and said arrogantly, " "are the two leaders really leaving? "Don''t regret it after that. After all, the weapon will be mass-produced after the test. Don''t cry if you miss the assembly priority right."


    The assistant, who had a lot of administrative experience, deliberately emphasized thest three words in order to grasp the mentality of the two senior executives.


    Even though she didn''t know why academician Xu was doing this, after she received an order, she only thought about how toplete it perfectly. She didn''t think about the consequences of offending the two leaders.


    Sure enough, after the assistant said this, the two angry leaders immediately stopped in their tracks.


    She turned around and questioned the assistant coldly, " " what a big tone. what else do you have in the fifth research institute that is worth our time apart from the invisibility cloak? "


    Bai Li was so angry that heughed. He was the director of the Hunter Bureau. How could he be intimidated by an assistant academician?

 Chapter 224 Using The Spirit Wave Sword, Shocking The Four!

    Chu Li frowned. He had not experienced such a terrible feeling for a long time. It seemed that the fifth Research Department needed to be cleansed in the future.


    "I''m just doing my duty as an assistant to remind you, Director. As for your choice, I have no right to interfere."


    The assistant revealed a professional smile.


    This caused Bai Li''s umted anger to feel like a fist punching the air, and his chest felt a little stuffy.


    When the leaders around them heard this, they began to think.


    They felt that since they were already here and they were about to reach the test field, they might as well see if this wu mo had any real ability.


    Some felt that it waspletely unnecessary. The other party was simply an ignorant and ipetent person who had no respect for the leader at all.


    The professors who were invited started to discuss the current situation.


    They felt that they could take a look at the equipment that the others had forged. After all, they had also spent time and effort on it, so they could not be biased.


    Everyone had different attitudes, but in the end, it was up to the two highest-ranking leaders to make the decision.


    Bai Li''s eyes were cold, and the veins on his forehead were bulging.


    However, he was the director of the Hunter Bureau, after all, so he still had the most basic level of calmness.


    He suppressed the anger in his heart. After weighing the pros and cons, he still decided to follow the procedure.


    ''I can''t just let it go like this.''


    "Good... I''d like to see what you can make me regret."


    He clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth.


    After saying this, he quickly walked toward the test field.


    Chu Li followed silently. the rest of the leaders and investors also quickly walked in the same direction.


    Not long after, everyone arrived at the test field.


    Many of the cultivators that were escorting them had also arrived in seven or eight military vehicles and surrounded the testing field.


    The people who had rushed over were now standing outside the test field. They had no intention of entering.


    Due to the uniqueness of weapons, the testing process was not the same as the testing of equipment.


    The equipment measuredfort, defense, and other data.


    Weapons, on the other hand, measured the speed at which spirit energy was absorbed, its sharpness, and its attack power.


    Besides, these dimensions were difficult to measure using a machine.


    So, in the beginning, they had nned to find some soldiers to experience it one by one, and then have two cultivators of simr strength use various weapons to fight in realbat.


    This was the only way to measure the actual effect of each piece of equipment.


    However, the soldiers who were testing the equipment were still on their way and would need a while to arrive.


    However, due to the unpleasant interlude earlier.


    At this moment, some leaders and investors were already impatient and questioned Wu Mo''s actual ability.


    "How long do I have to wait? I don''t think he''s deliberately dying."


    The head of the capital city''s Zheng family''s Investment Department couldn''t help but say this after waiting for a few minutes and seeing that the test still hadn''t started.


    "Who knows? No matter what, with the director and the head team around, that person can''t cause any trouble," everyone echoed.


    The few people standing on the periphery were also not optimistic about the test this time.


    He wouldn''t judge the other researchers'' work, but this Wu Mo guy only made a strange hilt. It would be a problem to test itter.


    Faced with the crowd''s doubts, Wu Mo did not intend to hold back any longer. He walked out of the crowd and came to the open space in front of the test hall.


    The crowd watched coldly, not knowing what the other party was up to.


    The professors ''faces were a little ugly. Since the establishment of the fifth Research Institute, there had never been such an ident. The key was that academician Xu still trusted this guy named Wu mo and allowed him to ruin the reputation of their Research Institute.


    He simply couldn''t bear to look.


    As for the other researchers waiting for the test, they were just waiting to watch a show. The more unreliable Wu mo was, the more likely they would be chosen by the leader.


    What they didn''t know was that even if Wu mo was transferred out of the Research Institute, with their technology, it was impossible for them to catch the attention of the military leaders.


    "since the person in charge of measuring the equipment hasn''t arrived yet, i''ll do it myself."


    Wu Mo''s tone was calm, but there was a hint of stubbornness in his expression.


    He wasn''t afraid of any rumors, but he didn''t want academician Xu and the entire fifth Research Institute to lose their reputation because of him.


    Everyone''s eyes focused on him, and Wu mo immediately held the spirit wave sword in his hand.


    This equipment was very much in line with his personal style, and his appearance was indeed not that great.


    not only was it ugly, but the hole in front of the hilt was also very amusing.


    Those who didn''t know better would think that he was testing the shlight.


    bringing this thing to the battlefield, are you trying to make the monsters of all racesugh to death? "


    "You want us toe all the way here for this kind of thing? are you having fun?"


    Some of the higher-ups saw Wu Mo''s appearance and immediately sneered at him.


    Bai Ze, who was standing at the front, also looked at Wu mo with cold eyes, wanting to see if thetter had the capital to be arrogant.


    Wu mo was not affected by the outside world at all. He directly filtered out the words of those people and stared at the military vehicle parked in front of him with bright eyes.


    The spirit wave sword had three modes. The heat wave attack was the most powerful, but the energy was transmitted through the air. Once the distance was too far, the power would be greatly reduced. The best range to disy the power was within one meter.


    On the other hand, the polymer cutting was a condensation of rays. It could only achieve the effect of being immune to the opponent''s defense by squeezing the molecules of an object through vibration. The attack range was within two meters.


    The normal pulse could be controlled at a distance of 15 centimeters to 120 centimeters.


    only the burning effect it produced would have its full effect on living things.


    As such, polymer cutting was the most suitable attack method for his current situation. Moreover, it couldst for 10 minutes at a time, which was more than enough for him to test it out.


    Thinking of this, Wu mo immediately pressed the second gear button in the center of the hilt.


    In an instant, a redser beam burst out from the front end of the sword hilt, extending directly for two meters.


    Not only couldsers produce high temperatures, but they also contained countless rays that could prate fine iron.


    It was just that this kind of vibration could not be captured by the naked eye at all.


    Seeing that theser beam had been activated, Wu mo waved at the military vehicle in front of him.


    The next moment, everyone only saw a sh of red light, followed by a swish. The Army green camouge Military vehicle in front of them immediately lost its bnce and fell down with a loud bang.


    The one-ton military vehicle was cut in half, and the section of the carriage made of special metal was extremely t, as smooth as a silver mirror.


    dust flew up, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of dissolved rubber.


    When everyone present saw this scene, they were instantly rooted to the ground as if they had been struck by lightning.


    silence, a deathly silence.


    Only the slightly rapid breathing of everyone was left in the surroundings.


    The leaders who were standing closest to the military vehicle, who had previously mocked them, were now pale with fear and trembling.

 Chapter 225 The Power Of A Single Blade Numbs Everyone!

    No one would have thought that an unremarkable sword hilt would actually have such great power.


    It was simply unbelievable!


    However, the military vehicle that had been cut in front of him was the best proof.


    He was constantly telling everyone that Wu Mo was holding a sharp weapon that could easily kill!


    Seeing this scene, everyone waspletely dumbfounded.


    The other researchers, who had beenughing at Wu Mo, were dumbfounded.


    They had thought that Wu Mo would make a fool of himself in public so that they could get the attention of the leader.


    However, he did not expect that Wu Mo''s casual swing could actually cause such an effect.


    "Even rifle bullets can''tpare to this, and you''re telling me this is a dagger?"


    At this moment, not only the researchers, but even the other leaders who were used to big scenes were stunned.


    Bai Li''s and Chu Li''s expressions became interesting, and their eyes were a little dazed.


    Now, when Bai Li looked at Wu Mo, who was standing in the open space with his saber in his hand, he felt a bone-chilling cold.


    Even he could nit block the power that could cut through a military vehicle in one second.


    If he was ambushed, he would die on the spot!


    Chu Li, who was at the side, was not feeling well either.


    It had been a long time since he had experienced this feeling of having a dagger on his back. Although his strength was infinitely close to the seven-star realm, he still did not have the confidence to take on Wu Mo''s casual swing.


    Wu Mo was only a graduate student, and his physical fitness was no different from that of ordinary people.


    The weapon in the other party''s hand could directly bridge the difference in strength between ordinary people and peak six-star cultivators. This was a very terrifying thing.


    If normal cultivators wanted to increase their strength to his level, not only did they need good fortune, but they also needed to cultivate for ten years, risking their lives to increase their battle power.


    However, all these sacrifices could not match the power of a weapon.


    Even though Chu Li had the means to destroy the military vehicle, he could not cut it open as smoothly as Wu Mo did.


    A drop of cold sweat trickled down his forehead as he thought of this.


    If he had turned around and left earlier, he was afraid that he would never havee into contact with such a powerful weapon.


    Chu Li subconsciously gulped and turned his stiff neck to look at Academician Xu, who was standing at the side.


    However, before he could say anything, he realized that Academician Xu''s expression was the same as his. He was shocked, and his eyes were nk.


    ''Could it be that Academician Xu didn''t know that Wu Mo''s weapon could be so powerful? Could it be that Wu Mo made this thing by himself?'' he thought to himself subconsciously.


    Then, his scalp went numb.


    This kind of equipment with powerparable to the legendary level was actuallypleted by a graduate student in his 20s?


    And in less than a month?


    Chu Li started to question his life.


    Even he, the head captain of the city defense army, couldn''t ept it for a while.


    At this moment, the eyes of the other people present had an additional trace of shock.


    if the angle of wu mo''s swing had been slightly off, someone would have died on the spot.


    Was such a terrifying power really something that a dagger could do?


    The invited professors were so excited that their hands were trembling.


    the ability that wu mo had disyed was beyond everyone''s expectations.


    with the wonderful mechanism of the invisible armor and the wild imagination of theser dagger, it was extremely rare for such a young man to have such an ability in nine regions!


    The eyes of the investors who were about to leave earlier were even more reflective.


    They had previously thought that Wu mo was not qualified and was not reliable at all.


    He was not qualified for them to invest.


    But now, it seemed that they werepletely stupid and didn''t see the gold in their eyes.


    The weapons used by Wu mo were powerful and easy to carry. If they could be mass-produced, there would definitely be profits in the process. Even if there were only 1000 of them, they could still use the auction method to sweep away the money of other families or consortiums!


    it was definitely not an exaggeration to sell this thing for more than 20 million!


    After understanding this, the investors were like sharks that smelled blood. They couldn''t help but want to sign the contract with Wu mo immediately.


    As for Liao Dongcheng, who was standing behind Wu mo, he was already feeling helpless.


    His emotions were like a roller coaster, experiencing great joy and great sorrow in a short ten minutes.


    he had taken the risk of being disrespectful and interjected earlier to help wu mo and the leaders resolve the misunderstanding.


    However, the moment Wu mo took out the hilt, he had already chosen where to bury it.


    If he made the director and the head so angry, he would definitely be punished in the future.


    However, Wu Mo''s attack just now had given Liao Dongcheng a ray of hope, and he immediately heaved a sigh of relief.


    However, the most emotional person in the crowd was academician Xu.


    He had already participated in the weapon testing of other project researchers.


    most of the daggers forged by those people could cut iron as if it were mud, and they were mainly multi-functional.


    It was already close to the dagger''s limit.


    They had thought that Wu mo would at most be a little more outstanding than them.


    After all, time was of the essence and he only had a month.


    It took him three months to make the invisible armor.


    Therefore, academician Xu didn''t think too deeply about it. He didn''t expect Wu mo to actually make such a big joke.


    A military vehicle that weighed more than a ton was cut open without a word.


    This sh was more or less emotional.


    He was excited, but at the same time, he med Wu mo.


    If the power was so great, he would have said so earlier, and he wouldn''t have to worry about it.


    However, he still had some doubts in his heart.


    When he had epted the mission, he had clearly discussed it with Wu mo.


    It was said to be light, but it only weighed a few hundred grams, and its length was only a few dozen centimeters, which was easy to hide. It was also powerful, so it had no problem killing a Tiger or leopard. The key was that it had its own light, which could locate the enemy at night.


    However, after hearing Wu Mo''s description, the image of a multi-functional folding dagger appeared in his mind. It was made of special materials and was extremely sharp. There was also a miniature shlight on the handle that could locate the enemy.


    However, Wu mo had taken out aser weapon. This was too f * cking inferior.


    Academician Xu''s expression was extremely interesting, and he didn''t even know how to wave his hands.


    Professor Liu and professor Tan''s mouths were wide open. They looked like they had seen a ghost.


    After a long time, the leaders and investors recovered.


    When they looked at Wu mo, they were confused, confused, and even more shocked.


    To trante it, it meant that he was numbed.


    It was as if an electric current had passed through his entire body, and his hair was almost standing up.


    Wu mo seemed to be joking with everyone.


    At first, they thought that Wu mo was useless, but at the end, they felt that they had been pped in the face.


    "what do you think of my dagger?"


    Wu mo stood tall in front of the crowd, his tone filled with a strong sense of revenge.

 Chapter 226 Im Sorry For My Bad Attitude Earlier

    It was as if he was saying, "Didn''t you think I''m not qualified enough? What about now?"


    The leaders who were being stared at by Wu Mo all looked away guiltily.


    Then, Wu Mo turned to look at Bai Li and Chu Li, who were standing at the front, with a calm gaze.


    Thetter was a little embarrassed at the moment and tried to divert his attention to resolve the awkwardness.


    "I''m sorry, my tone was a little harsh earlier."


    Bai Li could not take it anymore and took the lead to speak.


    Chu Li''s eyes widened when she saw the other party apologizing.


    This fellow had not even blinked in the face of a Rank 6 feral, yet now it was giving in?


    Traitor!


    Chu Li spat in his heart.


    Then, he immediately put on a warm smile and pointed at Bai Li while speaking to Wu Mo.


    "Mr. Wu, he''s not very sensible. please don''t hold it against him."


    Seeing two of the capital''s most famous and influential figures actually give themselves a way out, the surrounding people instantly fell silent.


    It seemed that it wasn''t the big shot''s attitude that was cold to others, it was the money that wasn''t paid.


    With this thought in mind, everyone looked at Wu mo with burning eyes. They wanted to get their hands on one as it was extremely effective in both self-defense andbat.


    It could even close the gap between normal people and cultivators.


    It could be considered a truly epoch-making product.


    "This... I see that there are other buttons on this weapon. I wonder if thisser sword has other functions?"


    In the crowd, a hunchbacked professor with gray hair asked in a hoarse voice.


    Thetter was so excited that his hands were trembling. He didn''t sound like a professor at all but like a student asking a question.


    Of Course, " Wu Mo said with a smile. professor, just watch.


    As soon as Wu Mo said this, everyone immediately took a few steps back subconsciously.


    Theser weapon that the other party had disyed earlier had left them speechless.


    If he were to disy other functions, he would definitely be in danger.


    Seeing the two big shots subconsciously take half a step back, Wu Mo could not help but want tough.


    However, he managed to control his expression well. After calming himself down, he straightened his arm and immediately pressed the high-end heat wave button.


    Zzzzzzzz.


    The sound of an electric arc was heard, and everyone looked over with wide eyes.


    He discovered that a one-meter-long white light pir was gushing out of the hole in the hilt.


    The surface of the pir of light was crackling with electricity, and the terrifying heat caused the air to warp.


    Wu Mo knew that he wouldn''t be able to hold on for long in this state, but there were no suitable targets around him. Without any hesitation, he bent down and shed toward the ground.


    Everyone only heard a piercing sound and a sh of lightning.


    In the next second, a crack dozens of centimeters thick and several meters deep appeared on the asphalt ground.


    The surrounding asphalt was stimted by the high temperature and was melting at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    In the blink of an eye, the melting asphalt spread dozens of meters around.


    The leaders and investors were scared out of their wits and ran away without looking back.


    Director Bai Li and Head Chu Li were even more shocked.


    Seeing that the situation seemed to be a little out of control, Wu Mo immediately turned off the thermal wave.


    Only then did the situation of the melting and sinking improve.


    However, the surrounding asphalt had already melted and deformed, so much so that therge open space in front of the test field door had different degrees of damage.


    The melted asphalt poured into the cracks, exposing the gravel ground.


    Seeing this situation, Wu Mo knew that he was in trouble. he scratched his head and said to Academician Xue, " I''m sorry, I didn''t expect asphalt to be so afraid of high temperatures.


    Everyone cursed in their hearts, but they were also afraid of the power of this weapon.


    He didn''t expect that theser that Wu Mo had disyed earlier was not the weapon''s most powerful method. Theyers of shock were simply tiring.


    "Well, Mr. wu, what form of attack did you use this time?"


    Bai Li felt as if his three views were being refreshed. A single sh could melt arge area of asphalt. This temperature had probably exceeded the level of five thousand!


    In the face of the leader''s inquiry, Wu Mo immediately began to introduce himself.


    I was using a high-end mode earlier, and the heat wave I fired could reach tens of thousands of temperatures in an instant. I only wanted to test its power, but I didn''t expect it to cause such serious damage to the ground.


    After hearing Wu Mo''s exnation, everyone''s foreheads immediately drooped.


    Over ten thousand degrees of power? And then they did not expect it to cause damage to the ground?


    Who are you trying to fool? They''re obviously trying to intimidate us!


    Everyone was shocked and angry, but they couldn''t do anything to Wu mo.


    After hearing this exnation, Bai Li''s eyes lit up.


    A heat wave that was over ten thousand degrees? No carbon-based being could withstand such high temperatures.


    Despite having the spirit energy shield, it would definitely notst five seconds.


    Was this not a precious artifact that could be used to deal with vicious high-ranking beasts?


    Bai Li''s thoughts turned, and he excitedly rubbed his hands.


    Chu Li could not help but sigh when she saw hisuseless look.


    Wu m]o didn''t pay attention to the two leaders ''emotions and continued to introduce the pulse mode.


    this weapon of mine is called the spirit wave sword. It has a total of three gears, high, low, and high. The high gear can shoot out heat waves that can instantly cause a high temperature of over ten thousand degrees, while the middle gear can shoot out molecr rays that can ignore most physical defenses.


    both of the above modes require a cooldown time to prevent the hilt from melting. The cooldown time is 10 seconds and 15 minutes, respectively. Low-gear can shoot out pulses, which can cause burning damage. The attack range can also be adjusted at will. The most important thing is that it can be maintained and does not need a cooldown time.


    After the introduction, Wu Mo immediately pressed the low-gear button on the hilt.


    The next moment, a pulse wave of about 60 centimeters in length appeared in front of everyone.


    The pulse was white and translucent, and the flickering light was enough to cool everything within ten meters.


    oh yeah, there''s one more thing I forgot to mention. The pulse of the third gear can produce different frequencies of light, which can easily crack the effect of the invisibility cloak.


    Wu Mo''s tone was nonchnt.


    However, it made the people around them open their mouths wide enough to fit an egg.


    A weapon with three gears, powerful instant damage, immunity to ray attacks, low-gear pulse power, and invisibility cloak. What kind of godly equipment was this?


    At this moment, everyone was doubting their lives. At the same time, they were also thinking, this thing is actually an epic equipment? Most legendary weapons couldn''tpare to it!


    One word, absolute!


    Bai Li was thoroughly convinced.


    In the Hunter Bureau, there were also designers in charge of forging equipment, but the things they made were usually difficult to describe in a few words.


    If those good-for-nothings were half as capable as Wu mo, he would go back and burn incense.


    Each of the spirit wave sword''s effects could be made into a piece of equipment on its own, but Wu mo could put all of them into a weapon.

 Chapter 227 Convinced

    This ability and wild imagination was enough to make people p their hands and praise him.


    It seems that the fifth Research Department is going to make a fortune in the future. They have an amazing genius!!


    Chu Li''s scalp felt numb and she could not help but sigh.


    Bai Li was sighing repeatedly. He was heartbroken that none of the people in his organization had lived up to his expectations.


    After the professors heard it, they also called it an epoch-making product, lighting up a dazzling light in the field of forging and driving away the darkness.


    On the other hand, the other project researchers who had been watching the show werepletely dumbfounded. Their faces were red with shame and they wanted to find a hole to hide in.


    They had previously mocked the other party''s technique, but now it seemed that they were just a bunch of jealous clowns.


    Just as everyone was getting excited, a car entered the test field.


    The soldiers who were testing the daggers finally arrived.


    When the team leader saw that many leaders had arrived, his heart tightened.


    Something happened on their way, and they were dyed.


    Now that he had so many high-ranking leaders waiting outside the door, what good would he have for the rest of his life?


    The captain immediately arrived with seven or eight soldiers. When he saw the director of the Hunter Bureau, Bai Li, and the head captain of the city defense army, Chu Li, his legs and stomach could not help but tremble.


    "Leader, I''m sorry... We got into an ident on the way here and camete. Please punish us!"


    The captain, who was in his thirties, lowered his head and stood there nervously, hoping that the leaders would go easy on him. However, he didn''t expect that the director of the Hunter Bureau would only respond with a "hmm" and immediately walk into the test field.


    The team leader was stunned. He thought he would be demoted or suffer physical pain, but the director just hummed and walked into the test field as if nothing had happened.


    "You''re lucky the director is in a good mood today."


    One of the investors saw the other party''s confused face and immediately exined with a smile.


    It was only then that the captain and the soldiers realized that the first half of the test had beenpleted.


    Soon, many leaders took their seats in the test field. After a series of preliminary tests, Wu Mo''s dagger showed excellent results.


    As for the other people''s tests, they were just a process. No one cared about them except for the soldiers who were testing.


    As for Wu Mo, who was the center of everyone''s attention, afterpleting all the tests, he immediately put the item into the forging space.


    A few design professors from the military department saw this and immediately asked, "Mr. Wu, the beam saber you forged is very outstanding. I wonder if you can tell us the operating principle of this spirit wave sword and some rted information?"


    The design professor from the military understood that theser sword''s technology could be applied in many ces. If he could master the technology, it would definitely have a revolutionary development in various fields.


    This was because it would be beneficial to the army and the farmers.


    After hearing thetter''s question, Wu Mo had no intention of hiding anything. He immediately said, "Actually, the theory behind the Spirit Wave Sword isn''t that difficult. there are only three techniques that you need to master, namely heat wave, ray, and pulse."


    I''ll exin the heat wave to you first. The heat wave uses a high-frequency electromaic field to cause the molecules inside the material to collide with each other. The high temperature generated by the collision can reach up to ten thousand degrees. Then, the principle of the grizzled light is established.


    Wu mo exined everything he knew. He was very happy to share this technology.


    However, the old professor who was standing in the crowd was dumbfounded.


    There was a lot of rted knowledge in what Wu Mo had said earlier that he could not understand at all!


    Whether it wasser or pulse, both were rted to modern science. However, the old professor had been in the field of forging his whole life and couldn''t even understand the principle of TV, let alone modern technology.


    He looked a little embarrassed. he had wanted to interrupt, but considering the power of the Spirit Wave Sword, which involved the development of many fields and was of great benefit to the state they were in, the professor forced himself to continue listening to these opinions and techniques.


    At the same time, the professor had already made a decision.


    He nned to immediately push the research and development of the Spirit Wave Sword to the most important project after he returned and fully push forward the technology within.


    Previously, he had learned from Wu Mo that this Spirit Wave Sword was only an unfinished semi-finished product. Its appearance and some of the data still needed to be adjusted.


    However, he understood that the core of the Spirit Wave Sword wasser technology.


    If he couldpletely solve the problem ofser technology, he could continue to optimize the magic crystal cannons of the major research institutes and reduce their size.


    The molecr ray technology could also be applied to the cutting production of major factories.


    Electromaic pulses could also be applied to medical and civil machinery.


    It would improve the lives of the ordinary people in the province!


    Thinking of this, the professor was so excited that his cloudy eyes were filled with tears.


    Xu Wuyue immediately understood the scope of application ofser technology and the impact on the military and civilians after the technology was mastered.


    His expression couldn''t help but change.


    at this moment, the investors finally reacted. one by one, they said excitedly, " Mr. Wu, the Zheng family wants to invest in the mass production of theser sword. We offer five million!


    "Get lost, you''re just trying to get rid of a beggar with a few million. Our cloth shop, the sun family, has invested ten million! We can sign the contract at any time."


    me too. Our Qin family also wants to cooperate. We''ll offer 1250 Yuan!


    Those arrogant investors were now like bootlickers, crazily squeezing towards the center.


    seeing that the situation seemed to have changed, the small leader, who was originally unwilling to show his face in public, suddenly could not sit still. he nned to go forward and discuss the distribution of theser swords after the mass production.


    When Bai Li, who was standing inside, saw this, he immediately shot a look at the nearby guards.


    The xiuzhe that were on the five-star realm immediately started to maintain order.


    They surrounded Wu mo so tightly that not even a drop of water could get through. At the same time, they also isted the investors and some small leaders.


    Among them was general Liao Dongcheng.


    ? Unfortunately, thetter was also considered a powerful figure in the entire Southeast war zone.


    He was in charge of the military organization in the southeast war zone, but he didn''t even have the right to speak in this ce.


    what''s the rush? those who want to invest, go and sign the contract first.


    bai li called out unhappily. those people didn''t dare to act rashly and immediately became well-behaved.


    Professor Liu saw this and immediately walked out of the crowd. He led the people who were preparing to invest to handle the contract.


    After sending those people away, Bai Li immediately turned to Wu mo with a serious expression and said, " Mr. Wu, you''ll be fully in charge of the mass production of theser swords. The military expenses won''t be a problem during this period. When the workshop for mass production ispleted, we''ll send a few people from the Hunter Bureau to learn from you. I hope Mr. Wu won''t be stingy with your teachings.

 Chapter 228 Ill Give You Ten Since Youre Pitiful

    Bai Li''s voice was gentle, and his attitude was much better than before.


    Of course, Wu Mo was not a person who held grudges. The reason he had joined the research team was to increase his own strength and benefit the cultivators and soldiers on the front lines.


    The Hunter Bureau was one of the major organizations in the military. They had always been responsible for hunting powerful beasts that could endanger the city. How could Wu Mo deliberately hide anything?


    "Don''t worry, Director Bai. I''ll also publish a rted paper and disclose all of these technologies for our researchers in the Nine Provinces to learn at any time."


    Wu Mo''s words immediately made Bai Li look at him in a new light.


    No wonder the fifth Research Department treated Wu Mo like a treasure.


    From the looks of it, not only was he capable, but he also had a rare sense of responsibility and mission.


    The emergence of new technology was bound to be apanied by research and development day and night.


    If this were to happen to an ordinary researcher, they would definitely try to apply for a patent and make money from it.


    Even if they were willing to share, they would definitely receive the corresponding benefits.


    However, Wu Mo had said without hesitation that he would share all the technology.


    The difference between the two was obvious.


    Thinking of this, Bai Li immediately raised his thumb and praised him. "As expected, you''re so ambitious."


    Chu Li, who was standing at the side, also looked at Wu Mo with admiration.


    During his negotiation with the other party, his view of researchers hadpletely changed.


    He had previously thought that every protected researcher would think highly of themselves and disdained talking to others. They also had a sour and rotten attitude, which was disgusting.


    However, after his conversation with Wu Mo, he finally understood that he was the one who had judged people first.


    Not only were there pedantic antiques in the Research Department, but there were also new forces that were open-minded and progressive with a true scientific research spirit.


    When he thought of this, Chu Li''s heart was filled with regret. His previous attitude toward Wu Mo had not been very good. Now that he had offended him, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens if he wanted to get another light sabee.


    However, Wu Mo quickly noticed the change in his expression. He calmly said, "Don''t worry. When the Spirit Wave Sword is mass-produced, I will give it to the soldiers who defend the city and their homes."


    Hearing Wu Mo''s reply, Chu Li''s starry eyes immediately shed with a glimmer of light.


    "Is this true?" Chu Li asked subconsciously. His expression was anxious and he was eager to know Wu Mo''s answer. At this moment, he no longer had the dignity of a superior.


    The cultivators who were responsible for escorting saw that the two bosses werepletely controlled by this Wu Mo and couldn''t help but be shocked at this person''s forging ability and methods.


    In the middle of the crowd, Wu Mo nodded seriously.


    "Don''t worry, I mean what I say."


    Wu Mo gave him a confirmation and Chu Li''s lips immediately curled into a smile.


    "Okay, it''s a deal. I don''t want much. Just give me 100 of theser swords in your hands," Chu Li subconsciously said as he was excited.


    Hearing this, Wu Mo immediately rolled his eyes.


    "Do you think they''re cabbages? You''re asking for 100 of them. These weapons are extremely precise, and it''s very difficult to mass-produce them. It''s already good enough that I can give you 10."


    Chu li did not show any anger at Wu Mo''s words. Instead, he scratched his head in embarrassment.


    "Alright then, 10 it is."


    He thought about the power of the Spirit Wave Sword that Wu Mo had demonstrated earlier.


    Chu Li felt that even if there were only 10 of them, it would still be a good boost to their city defense army''sbat strength.


    In the future, with these weapons, the safety of the city would definitely be better controlled.


    Soon, the big shots had satisfied their purpose foring.


    Many family investors had also signed contracts with the Research Department.


    They would invest as the starting capital for mass production, and after the subsequent mass production waspleted, they would get 20% of the profit.


    This process wouldst about three months to half a year.


    Due to the reputation of the fifth Research Department, the investors signed the contract without any hesitation.


    On the other side, after settling everything, many of the small leaders had already left.


    As for Bai Li and Chu Li, after having a conversation with Wu Mo, they also left with a smile.


    He seemed to be very satisfied with his trip to the fifth Research Department.


    After attending this weing meeting, Wu Mo also received nearly £¤50,000,000 in start-up capital, and the cost of the subsequent construction of the workshop would be paid by the Research Department.


    As for the Research Department''s request for military funds from the top, it was not something that Wu Mo should care about.


    After he confirmed that the power of theser sword was not bad, he was ready to continue to improve the second version.


    The power of the first version of theser sword had indeed reached its upper limit, but the duration was too short. The normal pulse effect was not very threatening to high-level cultivators and beasts.


    Therefore, Wu Mo nned to double the duration of the first two attacks.


    However, this also meant that he would need to spend on more expensive materials and a better prototype.


    Simrly, this would require a lot of time and rted technology.


    After seeing the leaders leave, Wu Mo also prepared to go back and improve the Spirit Wave Sword.


    However, he had only taken two steps when he was stopped by a familiar voice behind him.


    Wu Mo turned around and realized that the person who had called out to him was one of the higher-ups who had spoken up for him earlier, Liao Dongcheng.


    it had been more than two months since he hadst seen General Liao Dongcheng at the test field.


    However, the scene today was too grand, and General Liao Dongcheng did not have much say.


    "General Liao, thank you for speaking up for me earlier."


    Wu Mo stepped forward and bowed.


    Liao Dongcheng immediately stepped forward to help him up and said with a sigh, "Wu Mo, you''re now an important figure in the eyes of the leaders. You have to continue to work hard and not ck off.


    Liao Dongcheng could not help but exim, "It''s only been a few months since west met, but Wu Mo has be more mature."


    "General Liao, you must be joking. It was just luck that I was chosen by those big shots. Of course, I''ll definitely work harder in the study of forging. Thank you for your concern, General."


    Wu Mo felt that he had been very calm.


    It did not matter if he was an unknown graduate student when he first came to the fifth Research Department.


    Wu Mo had always maintained the same mentality as the current popr figure that was favored by the major leaders.


    In the current era, only by constantly learning and working hard could one live with dignity and protect one''s family.


    Of course, he did not work hard just for his family, but also for his dream.


    He could still vaguely remember how his predecessor had stupidly worked day and night in the single dormitory to forge a Divine weapon until he went crazy.


    He also remembered the tear-jerking scene when he was sent to the vige entrance by his parents and was ready to go to Shanglin City to learn forging.

 Chapter 229 The News Shook The Capital City

    He also understood the principle of not forgetting one''s original heart.


    Therefore, Wu Mo would never becent and stagnate after reaching a certain height.


    Learning and constantly improving were the true joys of life.


    A few minutester, Wu Mo watched as Liao Dongcheng left the Research Department.


    After that, he talked to Academician Xu about some issues regarding future mass production.


    However, after all the problems were solved, Wu Mo turned around and walked back to his vi.


    On the way, his mind was still thinking about the problem of the materials used to improve the Spirit Wave Sword.


    At the same time, the news that the leaders were going to the fifth Research Department for an inspection immediately swept through the major institutions, families, and consortiums in Jingdu.


    Of course, the specific information of this new weapon would only be circted in the military. The corporations outside only knew that the fifth Research Department was currently mass-producing a new weapon with great power.


    It also attracted many high-ranking military leaders to guide the work.


    Once this information was released, it immediately set off a huge storm in the capital.


    The first to bear the brunt were the organizations that had leaders guiding the work of the fifth Research Department.


    For example, the Hunter Bureau and the city defense army.


    The Hunter Bureau was made up of high-level cultivators, and it was under the jurisdiction of the military.


    His main job was to head to various battlefields and hunt down high-grade dire beasts. He would also hand over the hunted materials to national-level institutions for research and development.


    At that time, the core organization would analyze the information and send it to the major research institutes, which would finally develop weapons that could have great effects on the beast.


    And this weapon was very simr to the vine that was injected into the human body.


    Hence, it was given the name "gic weapon."


    The gic weapons that had been developed were eventually used by the cultivators on the battlefield. However, the one with the most equipment was the Hunter Bureau.


    With gic sequence weapons, they would be able to use specialized gic weapons to deal with suitable fierce beasts when they encountered them.


    Gic weapons could only deal damage to specific monsters, and they were destructive. They could instantly kill a Rank 6 beast.


    However, when facing other beasts, he was helpless.


    In addition, the research and development of special weapons were difficult and required too much funding.


    As a result, it was gradually put on hold, and usually, a new weapon could only be produced every year.


    Moreover, it was very troublesome to assemble the equipment in the department.


    The high-level cultivators in the beast hunting bureau had been suffering for a long time. They had long wanted to get a weapon that was effective against all high-level fierce beasts. That way, they would not have to fight the murderer in closebat every time they went on a mission, which eventually caused countless casualties.


    Now, when they heard from their leader that such a weapon was being developed, many of the hunters were so excited that they couldn''t speak.


    "Boss, you''re not lying to us, are you?"


    After hearing the director''s description, the team leaders sitting in the conference room suddenly widened their eyes.


    Some of them were excited, while some were skeptical, thinking that the director was just using it as a cover to motivate them.


    "F*ck off! When did I lie? This is a fact. The fifth Research Department will be building a workshop soon. If you don''t believe me, go and see for yourself."


    Bai Li, who was sitting at the head of the table, pulled a long face and cursed.


    Looking at the shocked expressions on the faces of his brothers who had gone through life and death with him. He continued to add with a serious face, "All of you better perform well. They said that when mass production ispleted, each organization will only get ten. Whether you can use such a powerful weapon will depend on your own strength.


    Bai Li''s words immediately invigorated the team leaders.


    "Director Bai, if we get aser sword this time, our team has to get one. Last time, our team had to risk our lives to kill the Rank 6 Nightmare Tapir, and we were almost wiped out. This achievement should be worth getting one, right?"


    The leader of Team 1 reacted quickly. He stood up immediately and spoke proudly.


    When the other team leaders saw this situation, they were instantly unhappy.


    "What do you mean by"a group should get one of the merits"? Don''t tell me that Team 5 doesn''t have the qualifications? When the Rank 6 Iron-hoofed Camel appeared in the southeastern war zone not far from the capital, wasn''t it our Team 5 who took care of it? Is that not as great a contribution as yours?"


    "There''s also us, Team 3..."


    Seeing that the group leaders were about to start quarreling, Bai Li immediately said, "Don''t argue. A real man doesn''t boast about his past achievements. Of course, I know about your previous achievements, but thisser sword is thetest product. Thepetition will start today andst for a total of three months. During this period, the top nine teams that kill the most high-tier beasts will each get one.


    Hearing the director''s words, everyone quieted down.


    But a momentter, someone immediately noticed that something was wrong.


    There were 10 of them, but why were there only 9 in their group?


    there''s even amission for this?


    Just as they were feeling puzzled, they saw the leader of Team 6 speak.


    "Director Bai, what about thest one?"


    The leader of Team 6 was more straightforward. He couldn''t understand the truth for a while and asked subconsciously.


    The rest of the people''s expressions changed slightly, but they did not expose him. Instead, they pretended to look at Director Bai Li innocently.


    "F*ck, there''s still one I can keep for myself, can''t I?"


    Bai Li could be considered to have gone all out, and he directly spoke out.


    Ever since he came back from the fifth Research Department, he had been drooling over theser sword that could cut through military vehicles. That thing was more powerful than his current weapons. He had to keep one for himself to show off when he got it.


    But when he heard Director Bai''s words, the leader of Team 6 helplessly said, "Don''t you have a Legendary-grade treasured saber?"


    Bai Li had just picked up his cup and was nning to drink a mouthful of water to moisten his throat. At the same time, he thought that it was too difficult tomunicate with this group of men.


    However, before he could swallow the water, he saw Team 6 leader''s resentful expression. He couldn''t hold it in and spat out the tea.


    Seeing Director Bai''s embarrassment, the faces of the team leaders around him turned red.


    "Meeting dismissed!


    "Shut up!" he shouted angrily, then immediately picked up his ss and walked out of the conference room.


    Everyoneughed when they saw the director run away, while the leader of Team 6 sat there with a dumbfounded look.


    The Hunter Bureau ended the happy part, and the other team leaders returned to their respective areas. They repeated what the director had said earlier, but omitted the details. They emphasized that if they performed well, they would be given a powerful weapon.


    When these words were thrown out, they immediately ignited the expectations of all the cultivators.


    The whole Hunter Bureau was in a state of chaos. Everyone was working hard to be one of the nine groups that would be given weapons in three months.

 Chapter 230 The Major Institutions Have Gone Crazy

    There were 12 groups in the capital''s Hunter Bureau, and not every group could get a share.


    As the saying went, there would be brave men behind great rewards. With new weapons as rewards, those cultivators who were usuallyzy were now all on steroids. The three training grounds of the beast hunting bureau were instantly full.


    On the other side, the city defense army was also in a heated atmosphere.


    After Chu Li, the head captain of the city defense army, returned to the institution, he immediately called for a meeting with the core personnel and told them what he had seen and heard in the fifth Research Department.


    After learning about the Spirit Wave Sword''s power and ease of carrying.


    Those generals and squad leaders were also extremely excited.


    Although there were no berserk beasts in the city, there were often people with ulterior motives.


    Compared with the beasts, powerful humans were equally terrifying.


    It was because there was nock of cultivators among the criminals in the capital every year.


    Not only did those cultivators not go to the battlefield to protect the country, but they also caused trouble. using their abilities that were higher than normal people, they bullied men and dominated women, and did all kinds of evil. They also saw the city defense army as their mortal enemy.


    At the same time, those criminals were also the most hated kind of people in the city defense army. They bullied the weak and brought disaster to the people. They were simply not worthy of being human.


    However, those cultivators were harder to catch than normal criminals and their city defense army alsocked effective methods to attack high-level cultivators.


    This was because the weapons that could harm cultivators were usually area-of-effect attacks.


    The main purpose of the standard weapons was to deal with ferals. This caused the city defense army to have no efficient means of capturing criminal cultivators.


    Adding on the fact that those criminal cultivators were good at hiding, even if they attacked frequently, the probability of being caught was less than thirty percent of normal criminals.


    Even in the capital, where security was the highest, there would still be cultivatorsmitting crimes every month.


    The situation in the prefecture-level cities and rural areas would only be more serious.


    Therefore, everyone in the city defense army had been looking forward to the new weapons for several years.


    Unfortunately, the current military headquarters had always ced the strategic focus on the major war zones in the Nine Provinces, and their city defense army had not been updated with equipment for several years.


    Therefore, the emergence of new weapons was like sending charcoal in the snow to them.


    In addition, during the meeting, they had heard leader Chu Li say that the power of the new weapon could easily cut through military vehicles made of special metals. It was only 30 centimeters in size and was easy to hide and carry.


    Therefore, their excitement at this moment was even more difficult to describe.


    At the same time, everyone thought to themselves, was this thing not specially designed for their city defense army?


    "Captain Chu, you must tell us the name of the researcher who designed the new weapon. I''ll bring my team members over to give him a kowtow."


    In the conference room, the captains in charge of the security of the various areas were almost moved to tears.


    A few years had passed, and the higher-ups finally heard their voices, saying that they were going to develop new weapons for the city defense army.


    However, before the team leaders could even feel their emotions well up, they were doused in cold water by head leader Chu Li''s words.


    "You''re thinking too much. It''s just that the equipment they''re forging suits our requirements. Other than me, who else would care about your work experience?"


    Chu Li sighed helplessly and continued. "Moreover, the mass production of the new weapons will be extended to a few monthster. I''ve tried my best to persuade them before they''re willing to give us ten of them after the forging ispleted. By then, even how to split them will be a problem."


    After hearing leader Chu Li''s words, the few leaders immediately calmed down from their fantasy.


    It was true. The city defense army had not gotten any new weapons in recent years, and they had to solve a lot of things every day.


    If the higher-ups were really going to give them new weapons, they would have given them a long time ago and not wait until now.


    After realizing this, everyone became depressed.


    "That... doesn''t matter. When the mass production of the beam saber ispleted, the ten weapons can be distributed to the outstanding young men in the city defense army first. at that time, it can at least intimidate that group of b*stards."


    The captain of the former bay area clenched his fist and spoke through gritted teeth.


    When the other team leaders heard this, they immediately fell silent. Three days ago, there had been an appalling case of family extermination in the Qianwan area, and the culprit was a five-star cultivator.


    The murderer had killed a family in a residential area in Qianwan within an hour, and his method of crime was extremely brutal.


    At that time, there were many witnesses who saw the process of the crime, but up until now, the city defense army had not found the murderer.


    This case had a very negative impact on society, so much so that the owners in themunity where the case happened had moved out one after another. In less than three days, the number of people in themunity had decreased by more than half.


    The point was that the murderer had not said anything so far. In the past few days, the city defense army had been receiving hotline calls about the murderer''s appearance on the busy streets.


    This meant that the murderer had intentionally or unintentionally appeared in the downtown area.


    He waspletely provoking the Jingdu city defense army.


    During this time, there were two city defense army members who had encountered the murderer, but because theycked effective means, they were also restricted from fighting in the downtown area. The murderer had slipped away from the city defense army twice.


    If thisser weapon had existed at that time, he could guarantee that the other party would not even be left with dregs.


    "Don''t worry, I''ll ask Academician Xu from the fifth Research Department for information. We have to learn how to use the weapons as soon as possible. When the first batch of weaponses, we have to prepare them as soon as possible."


    Chu Li understood the captain''s feelings. As he exined, he also used aforting tone.


    "During this period of time, the other teams will each send a six-star cultivator to the front bay area. They will try to catch the murderer who looked down on our city defense army within three days. Only by killing this anti-human immediately can we appease the public anger!"


    "Yes!"


    Everyone immediately stood up and saluted head Captain Chu Li.


    Chu Li nodded, then waved his hand casually.


    Everyone immediately turned around and left. After a while, he was the only one left in the entire conference room.


    He raised his head and looked at the white ceiling, frowning slightly. he was thinking about how to solve the current trouble with the least loss.


    On the other side, the two major departments in Jingdu had been shaken by the wave of new weapons.


    The family investors who were invited to the fifth Research Department also informed the management of the consortium about the news as soon as possible.


    In less than half an hour, the fifth Research Department''s n to develop a new and powerful weapon was spread to all the high-level executives of Jingdu financial groups through the spies nted in the three families.

 Chapter 231 Dont Forget Your Original Intention

    The message fermented for a while.


    The usually high and mighty leaders of the consortiums were now like sales interns, rushing to the Research Department with investment contracts.


    The three big families, who had already invested millions of yuan, also felt that this project was hard toe by after an internal discussion. They decided to add another several dozen million as the starting capital for mass production.


    However, among the people who heard the news.


    The most ufortable ones were the few young leaders who had mocked Wu Mo at the fifth Research Department.


    After those small leaders returned to the institution, the more they thought about what they had done, the more they regretted it.


    Even though they could not bring themselves to do so, they still did not want to miss the opportunity to equip the organization with aser sword.


    Under the urging of various reasons, all of them were like bootlickers, calling Academician Xu and fawning over him, wanting to get some qualifications to equip theser sword.


    However, Academician Xu did not promise them that he would give them weapons after the mass production. Instead, he calmly said that he would pass the message on to Wu Mo, and Wu Mo would deal with the final oue.


    Hearing such an official response, those small leaders suddenly fell into a deeper regret.


    At this moment, the entire capital was surging with undercurrents.


    A bigger wave was still brewing.


    The design professors from other cities hade to participate in this unforgettable survey.


    They immediately rushed back to the city they were in.


    On the way back, they had already reported the new weapons to their leaders.


    The key point was to use all resources tomunicate with the fifth Research Department, and it would be best to provide more materials when the Research Department built the production workshopter.


    Only by having a good rtionship with the fifth Research Department could he be qualified to be equipped with new weapons in the future.


    This was because many of the technical applications of theser weapons cast by Wu Mo were academic blind spots for major professors. Their homepage was in the field of forging.


    In order to understand the principle behind the Spirit Wave Sword as soon as possible, they had made up their minds on the way back. They were prepared to go to the local Academy of Science to catch up on modern science knowledge and strive to applyser weapons to their institutions as soon as possible.


    They would also develop the coreser technology and eventually benefit the various major fields of civilian use.


    Of course, the development of this matter not only pulled in several hundred million yuan of investment from the capital consortium but also pushed Wu Mo''s reputation to the highest point.


    Many leaders had submitted letters to the military system, suggesting that the military should directly promote Wu Mo''s talent level from two-star to three-star.


    His military rank should also be adjusted.


    This kind of talent had to be protected and could not be poached by other states or countries.


    This was because he had received feedback from various organizations and leaders.


    The military responded in time and immediately prepared to review and promote Wu Mo''s talent level.


    On the other side, the number of phone calls from the fifth Research Department had also reached a prosperous scene that was not even seen at its peak.


    Even Academician Xu received dozens of phone calls, not to mention the Information Department in his institute.


    At this moment, the fifth Research Department''s public contact information and phones were almost blown up by the investors and small leaders of various regions.


    Many of the calls to Academician Xu were from his friends, who had worked with him before. They all sent their blessings and greetings.


    However, some of them were the higher-ups'' opinions on this incident.


    Not only were they praising Wu''s ability and the new weapon, but even Academician Xu was also rewarded.


    Of course, most of the phone calls were about orders for new weapons. Academician Xu''s ears were about to grow calluses from hearing everything.


    Even Xu Wuyue did not expect that the arrival of so many leaders to guide the work would have such a great impact.


    At the same time, these phone calls also made him realize that the Spirit Wave Sword that was about to be put into mass production met the requirements of variousrge organizations.


    This was also something he had not expected.


    Wu Mo''s performance in this project was so outstanding that the other researchers who had followed him in other projects did not even have any experience.


    After some basic testing, their n was still in the womb.


    Among them, there was nock of dagger designs. However, those daggers that usually looked pretty good seemed worthless under Wu Mo''s dazzling light.


    All these changes made Academician Xu sigh in his heart.


    Wu Mo had only gone to the military area to experience it for a few days, but he could produce such a powerful weapon after returning.


    Furthermore, it met the requirements of most of the organizations in their state.


    Whether it was the Hunter Bureau, the City Defense Department, or even the military organizations in other cities, they all called to make reservations.


    After Academician Xu dealt with these things, he finally had some free time.


    He thought for a moment and decided to give Wu Mo some credit.


    After all, if the Spirit Wave Sword was really mass-produced, it would inevitably have a new impact on the entire situation in Nine Provinces.


    Furthermore, the Spirit Wave Sword that was being developed this time was no less advanced than the Invisibility Armor.


    It would definitely meet the standards of a technical breakthrough.


    These also needed to be applied.


    At the end of the day, Wu Mo had already put in a lot of effort into the development of equipment. As a six-star cksmith, he could understand this more.


    Ultimately, these were what Wu Mo deserved. He could not hide Wu Mo''s credit and disappoint him.


    Academician Xu immediately walked toward the office building.


    He nned to process these materials and send them to the leader for approval.


    On the other side, in the core departments of the military that managed the major research institutes, several leaders also had a deeper understanding of the new weapons Wu Mo had forged recently.


    Not only did they approve all of Academician Xu''s requests, but they also moved more materials to the capital.


    Help the fifth Research Department speed up the production of the Invisibility Armor.


    Of course, the leader was so easy to talk to because Wu Mo''s new weapon was sessful enough.


    If the cost-performance ratio was not high and the project was not attractive enough, the project would be pushed down, and sometimes it would not be approved for half a year.


    The speed of the attack this time was the direct result of the feedback from many people. After the leader saw the demonstration video of the weapon developed by Wu Mo, he went straight to the emergency exit without hesitation.


    While the outside world was in chaos, Wu Mo, the initiator of all this, was still calm and did not feel that he had done anything great.


    He had to continue to perfect the Spirit Wave Sword and solve the problem that would notst long.


    However, as soon as he got home, his phone rang before he could sit down and rest.


    Wu Mo was just casually ncing at it, but when he saw the name on the caller ID, he immediately picked up the call with excitement.

 Chapter 232 The Idea To Improve The Spirit Wave Sword

    "Instructor Zhou, what a pleasant surprise." Wu Mo said.


    Thest time he contacted Instructor Zhou was when he went to his house to ask Instructor Zhou about the characteristics of the Dark Light Wings.


    He remembered that the Invisibility Armor had only been a n in his mind. It did not even have a prototype.


    In the blink of an eye, a few months had passed. He had been busy and had not been in contact with Instructor Zhou ever since.


    He did not expect that after three months, Instructor Zhou would call him again.


    That made Wu Mo extremely happy.


    "Wu Mo, long time no see. I heard from my colleagues that you''ve recently developed a new weapon. When many leaders came to inspect the work, they were all stunned by the weapon you developed. It seems that your forging skills have improved a lot in the few months we haven''t seen each other."


    On the other end of the phone, Zhou Jinlongughed. It was clear that he was sincerely happy that Wu Mo had reached this stage.


    "Instructor Zhou, you''re too kind. I''m just lucky."


    Wu Mo was a little embarrassed. He never thought that even Instructor Zhou would know about this.


    "Lucky? Who''s that lucky? The Spirit Wave Sword that you''ve developed is abination of modern technology and forging techniques. I don''t think I''m capable of such a wondrous idea and such an appropriate fusion of the techniques of the two fields."


    Zhou Jinlong felt a little helpless. Wu Mo was a graduate student. In his eyes, he was good at everything, but he was too humble at times.


    Sometimes, even he would feel ashamed when the other party said something unintentional.


    It had been five or six years since he came to the fifth Research Department, but he had not developed any new or shocking equipment and technology.


    On the other hand, Wu Mo, whom he had introduced to the Research Department, had made a breakthrough in less than half a year. His speed was incredible.


    He could only say that Wu Mo''s efforts and scientific spirit in the field of forging had exceeded his expectations.


    To be able to forge the Spirit Wave Sword within a month, one could say that Wu Mo''s forging ability had probably reached the five-star rank.


    As he thought of this, Zhou Jinlongughed at himself.


    He was already 37 years old, but his forging skills had barely reached the six-star rank.


    Moreover, he barely met the standard during the test.


    His talent was already extremely outstanding among ordinary people.


    However,pared to Wu Mo, he was only mediocre.


    He had been ordered to go to Shanglin City to be a judge for the Divine Arms Academy''s design assessment.


    Later on, he got to know Wu Mo.


    However, back then, Zhou Jinlong only felt that Wu Mo''s basic skills were quite outstanding and that he was very calm in the face of unexpected situations.


    Whether it was his forging ability or his character, it was agreeable.


    In the end, Zhou Jinlong chose to report Wu Mo''s situation to Academician Xu and asked him to make an exception to recruit Wu Mo into the Research Department.


    Now, only half a year had passed, and Wu Mo''s growth rate had far exceeded his expectations.


    Whether it was the Invisibility Armor or the Spirit Wave Sword, he was extremely impressed with Wu Mo''s imagination and practical ability.


    If he were to be nurtured in the future, it would not be impossible for Wu Mo to reach seven stars in the future.


    "Instructor Zhou, I can have my current achievements because of the olive branch you extended to me back then. That''s why I had the opportunity to go to the Research Department and learn new knowledge in the internal reference room. all of this is because of Instructor Zhou and Academician Xu''s cultivation."


    Sensing the change in Instructor Zhou''s mood on the other end of the phone, Wu Mo immediately said in a serious tone.


    He had never thought that his current ability and fame were all achieved through his own efforts.


    If he did not have the right to read the books in the internal reference room, he would not have made such rapid progress in his own explorations.


    If it had not been for Instructor Zhou''s introduction, he would not have had the opportunity to enter the Research Department ande into contact with military equipment and the concepts of the various master cksmiths.


    Sometimes, choices and opportunities were more important than hard work.


    Therefore, Wu Mo''s psychological position had always been very clear. He had always felt that he was an ordinary graduate student in the Research Department.


    Hearing Wu Mo''s exnation andfort, Zhou Jinlong could not help butugh. "I''m already so old, yet you''re the one who consoled me. Alright, I just called to congratte you. There''s nothing else."


    When he heard Instructor Zhou''sughter over the phone, Mr. Wu heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, it''s fine, Instructor Zhou. Let''s keep in touch in the future."


    The two of them exchanged a few words before Zhou Jinlong hung up the phone.


    Looking at the white walls and sealed ss in theboratory, Zhou Jinlong''s mind was filled with thoughts. Thanks to this chat, he was full of energy and immediately threw himself into work.


    Theser technology in the Spirit Wave Sword that Wu Mo had developed this time also inspired his experiments. New ideas and ns to improve the magic crystal cannons gradually became clear in his mind.


    Zhou Jinlong continued with his experiment.


    On the other side, Wu Mo had also returned to his bedroom on the second floor of the vi and was preparing to list out the raw materials needed to improve the Spirit Wave Sword.


    At present, the fused metal of the hilt could no longer be reced because it was the metal with the highest melting point in the current scientific field. No other material could rece it.


    The star rock material that was smeared on the surface of the sword hilt could not be reced because it was the metal with the highest melting point in the field of science at present.


    If he wanted to solve the problem of the short duration of the heat wave, he could only work on the coating.


    Creating a new coating was much easier than discovering a metal with a higher melting point.


    None of the paint on the market met his needs, so he had to create it himself.


    He would try to solve the heat dissipation problem of the hilt within a week!


    As he thought about it, he wrote down the materials he needed to create the coating in his notebook. He also had a new idea for the heat dissipation structure of the hilt, and he nned to put it into action immediately.


    About an hourter, he already had a new idea in his mind.


    He was able to find a new solution so quickly because of the materials provided by the system some time ago. There was a lot of knowledge and technical means in the materials, which were not avable in the current scientific field.


    Since it was difficult to read, he even used his mobile phone to self-study some pre-science knowledge.


    In any case, the Spirit Wave Sword was a product of many modules. He couldpletely remove the rubber that wrapped around the hilt and add an additional module.


    This module was in charge of increasing the feel and isting the 10,000 degrees of heat produced after the heat wave was shot out.


    At present, the highest temperature-resistant material on the market was star rock, but even so, it could not withstand the high temperature emitted by the heat wave for more than ten seconds.


    Therefore, if he wanted to improve the Spirit Wave Sword, there were two topics he could not avoid.

 Chapter 233 Completed Work

    The first was to solve the problem of heat instion. The second was to prepare all the materials.


    However, to Wu Mo, the first question was obviously more difficult.


    Today, when the leaders came to inspect the work, he had disyed the power of the Spirit Wave Sword. If those leaders were not scared silly, they would definitely send all kinds of materials to the research institute.


    Therefore, to Wu Mo, the second question was no longer a problem.


    He did not need to go to the chambers ofmerce to buy materials anymore.


    It did not take long for Wu Mo to list the required materials.


    During this time, he also tried to ask the system about the material ratio of the new paint, but the system did not find a suitable solution in the known information.


    If he were to make a deduction, he would need 400 general points toplete the follow-up work.


    Wu Mo did notck these points. On the contrary, when he met the leaders this morning, he had alsopleted the conditions for showing his divinity in front of the people.


    The points that shocked all the leaders were still being calcted.


    He would probably only get the results tomorrow or the day after.


    He only did this because he wanted to improve his own abilities without relying on the system.


    He had already read most of the books in the Research Department''s internal reference room.


    Up until now, those books were no longer of much use to him in increasing his strength.


    If he wanted to improve to six stars as much as possible, he could only do as much actualbat training as possible.


    From the constant forging, he was able to find new knowledge.


    Even so, Wu Mo was confident that he could reach the six-star rank within two years.


    The opportunity was the exchange at the end of this year.


    Therefore, he had to participate, and he had to meet the two conditions before the end of the year.


    He might be able to learn a lot of useful knowledge and techniques that he could not discover by talking to those seven-star master cksmiths.


    Thinking of this, Wu Mo was full of energy.


    There were less than three months left until the end of the year.


    He only needed toplete one more technical breakthrough and he would be able to meet the requirements.


    At that time, Liao Dongcheng would submit an application, and he would be able to participate in the country''s annual cksmith conference in an upright manner.


    After listing the materials, Wu Mo immediately sent a message to the warehouse staff through national research and development.


    In less than 20 minutes, Wu Mo, who was standing on the second-floor window sill, saw a blue business caring to his house.


    He immediately went downstairs. At the same time, he was surprised that the delivery speed was so fast.


    When he pushed open the courtyard door, he saw a young man in his thirties wearing work clothes, carrying a box and walking over.


    When he saw Wu Mo, a hint of envy and respect shed in his eyes.


    "Mr. Wu, these are the materials you asked for earlier. They''re all in the box. Please take a look."


    Wu Mo reached out to open the box. Seeing the dazzling array of materials inside, he nodded in satisfaction.


    He snapped his fingers lightly, and a white light shed. The heavy box in thetter''s hands immediately disappeared.


    After signing, Wu Mo waved goodbye to the staff.


    As he watched the bluemercial vehicle leave, he immediately went to the second floor, ready to try it out now.


    In any case, he had the ability to look back infinitely, so he could adjust the proportion of the paint at will. When everything was sessfully developed, he would forge a sword handle case and apply the paint on the sword handle made of fused metal. Then, he would put the sword handle case on.


    He thought that this process would be resolved quickly.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    However, the situation, in reality, was not as perfect as he had imagined. Just the research and development of the paint alone, he continued to carry out thousands of refinements every day. Two dayster, he finally had some progress.


    It was a brand-new paint, and most of the materials were simr to the Star Rock paint. Only the proportion was changed and some materials were added.


    The new paint was silver-gray in color and as sticky as glue.


    Wu Mo had once thrown it into the furnace to test it. The temperature had been set to the highest, but the gel had remained the same without any damage.


    After solving the problem of the new paint, Wu Mo named it Yang Dust.


    It was a product that could block all temperatures.


    Even though the name was not that great, the effect was still pretty good.


    By smearing Yang Dust on the handle of the Spirit Wave Sword, the duration of the heat wave could be increased from 10 seconds to 20 seconds.


    If he were to add the modr hilt case, the duration of the heat wave should be doubled.


    After confirming the ratio of the paint, Wu Mo immediately began the development of the sword handle module.


    Of course, this thing was a product of the era after the recuperation of spirit energy and did not involve any scientific principles.


    It would only take some time toplete.


    Of course, this kind of modr item was quite different from equipment and weapons.


    Just the construction of the energy formation alone took Wu Mo half a day.


    However, after he confirmed the mold''s other data, everything became smooth.


    In the end, Wu Mo spent a total of five dayspleting the general modification work.


    After that, he had to do the instation, the construction of the energy array, and other minor things.


    On the sixth day after the Spirit Wave Sword''s prototype was disyed, Wu Mo entered the forging space early in the morning and finished the remaining steps and procedures.


    The next step was the final harvest. In order to further perfect the Spirit Wave Sword, he had used a total of six days.


    Wu Mo had been immersed in it for the past few days and learned some new knowledge. At the same time, his spiritual power had been polished to a deeper level.


    Now, he could work continuously for 12 hours in the forging space without any negative effects.


    The new version of the Spirit Wave Sword was currently lying quietly on the smooth silver work table.


    Compared to the original version, the improved Spirit Wave Sword was more exquisite.


    Not only did the hilt change, but the patterns of the holes in the front had also been slightly adjusted to shoot out more uniform heat waves or pulses.


    The back of the hilt was still made of silver metal, but after it was coated with a thickyer of gray dust, it appeared much dimmer.


    Compared to before, it looked a little better. There was even a crystal white gem at the end of the hilt.


    "System, please appraise the equipment," Wu Mo said excitedly.


    As soon as he finished speaking, an ethereal voice immediately sounded in his mind.


    [Equipment identificationpleted. One hundred points have been consumed. Remaining Points: 298,249. Equipment attributes are as follows:


    [Equipment Type: Sword


    [Equipment Name: Spirit Wave Sword¡¤Pr


    [Equipment Grade: Epic


    [System Score: 69 points.


    [Equipment Effect: 1. Heat Wave (Releases heat wave upon activation, dealing massive damage to the target. Duration: 25 seconds. Cooldown: Three to five minutes)]

 Chapter 234 Bald Eagle

    [2. Dimer sh (Activated. After an attack hits an enemy, the damage dealt will ignore all equipment. Duration: 20 seconds. Cooldown: One minute. Note: Damage immunity effect can not be applied.)


    [3. Pulse (Attackes with pulse burn, which is a constant existence.)


    [Additional Effect: The strong light produced by the pulse will cause the prizing stealth to fail.


    [Rune Effect: Tier 2 Rune Tip (When attacked, a mental spike will be produced, causing mental damage to the enemy. Severe pain willst for 3 seconds. Cooldown: 10 minutes. Note: The effect is rted to the strength of the enemy''s spiritual power.)


    [Array Effect: Tier 2 Storm Array (When there is a strong wind, the movement speed of the wearer will increase ording to the level of the wind, up to three times higher.)


    [Equipment Evaluation: This is a product of the collision between modern technology and the revival of spirit energy. It can deal a lot of damage to the enemy in an instant. After the original cooldown problem has been solved, it has reached an extremely high level, only one step away from Legendary grade.]


    Wu Mo looked at his status panel with satisfaction. although the improvement this time only extended the cooldown time by 1.5 times, it had cost him a lot of energy.


    The one point increase in his score and the equipment evaluation at the back also proved that his improvement this time was positive and had a good effect.


    After putting the Spirit Wave Sword back into his Interspatial Ring, Wu Mo immediately held his breath and exited the forging space.


    Back in the familiar bedroom, Wu Mo took out his phone and looked at the time.


    It was already ten in the morning, and he had not had time to eat breakfast.


    After putting on his coat, Wu Mo went downstairs, pushed open the courtyard door, and walked toward the cafeteria. On the way, Wu Mo suddenly remembered something.


    He had learned the idea of designing this weapon from the soldiers who had participated in the exercise when he had gone to the Third Military Region in North China. Now that he had finally improved the Spirit Wave Sword, he had to let the soldiers in the military region experience it.


    After all, it would take some time for the Spirit Wave Sword to be mass-produced.


    During this period of time, he had been living in the Research Department and did not need these things for self-defense.


    Even if he was in danger, the equipment effect of the Sharp Leather Bracelet on his wrist could help him get out of danger.


    Therefore, rather than letting the Spirit Wave Sword eat dust in his hands, it would be better to let the soldiers of the military region try it out.


    Thinking of this, Wu Mo immediately took out his phone. When he left the military camp, he had left Company Commander Zhang and toon Commander Ren''s contact information.


    He had also promised the two Military Department heads that if they developed a new product, he would let them try it out as soon as possible.


    After making the call, Wu Mo immediately headed to the cafeteria.


    After a while, there was a sound from the other side of the phone.


    "Comrade Wu Mo, it''s so early. Why are you calling?"


    The voice of Company Commander Zhang immediately came from the other side of the phone. Thetter''s tone was friendly, and his voice was calm. One look and you could tell that he was in excellent physical condition.


    "Company Commander Zhang, my Spirit Wave Sword has been improved, and it can now enter the trial stage. When do you think you can send someone to pick it up?"


    Company Commander Zhang was on the field, watching the soldiers train.


    Originally, he still had a carefree expression on his face with the asional look of admiration.


    However, after receiving a call from Wu Mo, he became cautious and nervous.


    "Is that true?! Well, for safety''s sake, I''ll go there personally," Company Commander Zhang said with a firm tone.


    His entire being became excited.


    After the deal was settled, he immediately prepared to leave the military and go to the fifth Research Department.


    Six days ago, during Wu Mo''s weapon demonstration, his leader, Battalion Commander Yang Ming, had been present.


    When the battalionmander saw Wu Mo''s demonstration of the light saber, it was as if he had been struck by lightning.


    After he returned, he immediately had a meeting to tell everyone about it.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    After Zhang Jianfeng found out the specific details, he was very tempted.


    Whether it was in terms of power or portability, theser sword was very suitable for their soldiers to carry out missions.


    Among them, the attack methods of the three gears could be adjusted, which hit the spot in their hearts. All of them were extremely high.


    However, the light saber was still in its prototype stage, and it would take at least a few months before mass production.


    They could only suppress the restlessness in their hearts and wait for the subsequent mass production.


    However, less than seven dayster, Wu Mo suddenly called to say that the new weapon had been improved and that he wanted to give the first sample weapon to the people in their military region for trial.


    This was naturally a good thing for Company Commander Zhang.


    Happiness came too suddenly, making him feel a trace of surrealism.


    He thought it would take a few months to get a new weapon, but he could try it out in less than a week. How could he refuse such a good deal?


    Company Commander Zhang quickened his pace and was ready to pick up the new weapon himself. When he returned, he would demonstrate it in front of countless soldiers. Wouldn''t that be great?


    Aftering up with a n, Zhang Jianfeng was full of energy. However, he had only taken a few steps when a new phone call interrupted his thoughts.


    Subconsciously, he took out his phone. Zhang Jianfeng thought that Wu Mo had more things to tell him, but he realized that it was Battalion Commander Yang Ming calling him.


    "Hello, Battalion Commander Yang, what instructions do you have for me?"


    Zhang Jianfeng stopped and spoke patiently.


    "Huh? Is it that urgent?"


    After hearing the battalionmander''s words on the phone, Zhang Jianfeng''s expression immediately changed.


    "Okay, I got it. I''ll be there immediately."


    After saying that, Zhang Jianfeng hung up the phone. At the same time, he looked a little disappointed.


    He had originally wanted to go to the fifth Research Department in person to get something and chat with Wu Mo at the same time to get closer to him.


    However, just as the n was about to take shape, it was destroyed by the words of the battalionmander.


    There were some urgent matters that needed to be dealt with. As thepanymander, he had to be there for the emergency meeting as soon as possible.


    Anyway, he would not have time to go there for a while, so he could only send someone else to get the new weapons.


    However, this matter was very important, and he had to send someone reliable.


    Zhang Jianfeng furrowed his brows as his thoughts churned. A momentter, an idea shed through his mind, and he immediately had a suitable candidate in mind.


    Those who could take on the heavy responsibility of retrieving the goods had to be strong, and they could not have any problems on the way. They had to be absolutely loyal to the military.


    The new weapon developed by Wu Mo was a secret project in the military. If it was leaked, he would be held responsible.


    In the entire Third Military Region of North China, there was only one person who fulfilled the above two conditions.


    Zhang Jianfeng could not remember the man''s name, but he knew his code name, Bald Eagle.


    ...


    Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the next morning.


    Wu Mo was sitting in the courtyard,zily basking in the sun.


    The light saber''s improvement wasplete, and he finally had precious time to rest.

 Chapter 235 Conversation, Silence!

    At the moment, dozens of Invisibility Armor had been mass-produced and were being secretly transported to various departments.


    it could be said that the sense of urgency in his heart had dissipated by more than half.


    He did not need to worry about the mass production n. The equipment in the workshop could do most of the work in batches.


    At that time, the cksmith would make fine adjustments ording to the model.


    However, because of the Invisibility Armor''s precision, the time needed for mass production was greatly dyed.


    The most time-consuming part was the wing angle adjustment device on the surface of the armor.


    That was where the soul of the entire Invisibility Armor was located. If there was any damage, it would affect the overall effect.


    As for the mass production of the Spirit Wave Sword, it would be dyed until two monthster.


    Since most of the materials and manpower had been invested in the Invisibility Armor, he only knew so much because Academician Xu called him yesterday afternoon.


    Otherwise, Wu Mo would have been kept in the dark.


    In order to prevent the information about the armor from being leaked, the production workshop was not in the fifth Research Department, but in a more hidden ce where only the core figures could ess.


    All in all, Wu Mo had finally entered a leisurely state.


    All he needed to do now was to wait for Company Commander Zhang and the others to send someone to retrieve the Spirit Wave Sword.


    I''ll write some more paperster and send the technology of the Spirit Wave Sword to the military system for the cksmiths and researchers in the unit to read.


    However, for him, the most important thing was toplete another technical breakthrough in the next few months.


    Finally, he would participate in the cksmith''s Annual Exchange Conference.


    Just as Wu Mo was thinking about what to cast for thest technological breakthrough project.


    There was a sudden knock on the door.


    The gate of the vi was made of alloy and was surrounded by walls that were more than two meters high.


    The door was not too sturdy, but since it was inside the Research Department, it did not need to be too hard.


    It was just that when he hit it, it would make the sound of a frame.


    Wu Mo sat up from the recliner.


    Through the gap in the door, he saw a young man in his 30s standing outside.


    The young man was tall and straight, his facial features were tanned, and thetter was wearing a simple work suit, standing straight outside the door.


    He seemed a little anxious.


    The only thing that surprised Wu Mo was that thetter''s hair was not an ordinary ck, but a xen color.


    His ck hair was mixed with some white, and from a distance, it looked like xen.


    More importantly, Wu Mo felt that the person standing outside the courtyard was somewhat familiar as if he had seen him somewhere before.


    He immediately stood up and walked toward the door.


    Since the other party could enter the Research Department, it meant that there was no issue with his identity.


    Wu Mo opened the door and looked at the familiar young man in front of him. He suddenly thought of something and immediately said, "You''re the one who sat behind me during the military exercise?"


    In response to Wu Mo''s question, the young man immediately nodded.


    "Company Commander Zhang sent me here to retrieve the new weapon. I''m sorry for the trouble."


    The young man''s voice was gentle and powerful, and his attitude toward Wu Mo was also quite respectful.


    "Oh, I see. Pleasee in."


    Wu Mo immediately understood the reason and stepped aside to invite him.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    Thetter was a little reserved, but he still walked in.


    Wu Mo led him to the living room, and the two of them sat down on the couch.


    "I still don''t know your name. I only noticed you in themand roomst time and didn''t have the chance to talk to you," Wu Mo said in a rxed tone as he brought out the tea and fruit tter.


    "Mr. Wu, you don''t have to be so polite. Just call me by my code name, Bald Eagle," the young man said with a smile.


    "Bald Eagle... It''s a good name."


    Wu Mo thought about it and felt that this code name was quite free and cold.


    Hearing Wu Mo''s praise, Bald Eagle smiled in embarrassment.


    "It''s been more than 40 days since west met at the military camp. Why do you look so haggard today? Did something happen?"


    Wu Mo was not in a hurry to give the things to the other party. Instead, he started to chat.


    Bald Eagle was a little restrained at first, but he soon rxed as the conversation continued.


    He raised his cup and took a sip of tea, looking a little lonely.


    "Actually, it''s nothing much. I''ve just run into a little trouble recently."


    Bald Eagle gradually opened his mouth and talked about everything.


    In any case, Wu Mo, who was sitting in front of him, was also a member of the Military Department. There was nothing to hide.


    Although he did not belong to any department in the military, he was also working in the special forces under the jurisdiction of the federal government.


    He was also the captain of Special Operations Team 1. The team he led was known as the Eagle Team because of their fastbat speed and strong sword-like strength. Hence, his code name was also changed to Bald Eagle.


    The reason why Company Commander Zhang did note personally to retrieve the new weapons was that there were some problems at the military headquarters.


    "I have a very goodrade. He''s the captain of Special Operations Team 2. His code name is Lone Wolf."


    Bald Eagle leaned back on the couch and looked at the flickering crystal lights on the ceiling. His thoughts gradually scattered.


    Since he was very good at fighting alone, and he had several records of entering the enemy camp and taking the enemy''s head, he got the code name, Lone Wolf.


    As Bald Eagle continued to recount his memories, Wu Mo sat at the side and listened in silence.


    He knew that Lone Wolf and Bald Eagle, who was sitting in front of him, were very powerful.


    To be able to be the captain of the special forces, he had to be at least a peak six-star cultivator!


    "A few years ago, we worked together many times. Lone Wolf''s ability to fight alone was very strong. Even I couldn''t take advantage of his training.


    "After that, we spent a long time on missions together, and the otherrades in the military camp called us the ''white eagle in the sky'' and ''the lone wolf on the ground.''


    Bald Eagle''s face gradually revealed a smile as he spoke.


    From these words, Wu Mo gradually understood that the two of them should be experts who appreciated each other and gradually became goodrades.


    However, at this point, Bald Eagle''s tone suddenly became heavy.


    Half a month ago, Lone Wolf participated in an extremely dangerous mission. It was just that this time, the goddess of fate seemed to have yed a joke on him. For various reasons, his infiltration n failed. In the end, under the siege of seven or eight enemies, Lone Wolf broke his leg and escaped.


    Although the enemy''sir waspletely destroyed and Lone Wolf''s leg that was cut off by the enemy was found, the dy was too long, and his broken leg could not be reconnected.


    The atmosphere in the living room gradually became heavy.


    The smile on Bald Eagle''s face was also gone.


    "If his leg can''t be reattached, it means that Lone Wolf can only be a disabled person in the future and can no longer carry out any missions. He will also step down from his position as the team leader. After a while, he will retire as a heroic cultivator who has made first-ss merits."


    "But I know that this is not what Lone Wolf wants."


    At this point, Bald Eagle fell silent.

 Chapter 236 Full Of Anticipation, Only To See The Hilt?

    Wu Mo did not interrupt him and continued to listen quietly.


    "As the captain of the Wolverhampton Wanderers, he definitely won''t yield to reality. Also, in a few years, he will definitely break through to the rank of a seven-star cultivator. At that time, he might be able to walk in the air and no longer need to walk on his feet."


    Bald Eagle drank another ss of wine and continued.


    "He''s the leader of the special forces and a core expert in the military camp. He can''t just retreat behind the scenes."


    However, as he spoke, Wu Mo realized that the bald eagle was bing more and more passive.


    no matter what, you, lone wolf, are a Man of Steel and blood. You are brave and astute, unlike me, who doesn''t even have the most basic ability to think calmly in the face of an emergency.


    you didn''t even see through the enemy''s smoke bomb and foolishly thought that you had saved thousands of prison staff. Unexpectedly, you exposed yourself and fell right into the enemy''s trap!


    " you''re a hero in people''s hearts. even if you retire, it''s still glorious, but i personally buried my future. i''m afraid i can no longer serve nine regions continent and the federal government in the future! "


    At this point, the bald eagle became depressed, and his voice also changed.


    It was hard to imagine that a six-star cultivator would be so sad because he was worried about the future of hisrades and himself. He was also worried that he wouldn''t be able to serve the Federation in the future. It was hard to imagine what he had experienced to have such thoughts.


    at this moment, the other party no longer had the aura of an expert, but looked more like a pitiful person who had lost his goal and dream.


    Wu Mo''s Adam''s apple moved slightly.


    The words that he had wanted to say were also swallowed because his throat was tight.


    He knew that the bald eagle in front of him did not need any words offort.


    After realizing this, Wu mo only said indifferently, " "I don''t know what you''re thinking. I only know that as long as you''re determined, everything can be done!"


    "As long as you''re willing to put in the effort, there''s nothing you can''t do."


    wu mo raised his hand and immediately changed the topic. " it''s just like when I first made the invisible armor. Before I seeded, no one believed that this thing could turn invisible. I believe that as long as you have the heart, brother lone wolf will definitely be able to stand up again and recover to your best state!


    Wu mo said word by word. His powerful tone gave the bald eagle, who was originally in an extreme state of self-me, hope.


    "Brother Wu mo, when will the invisible armor you developed be put into use?"


    Seeing that the bald eagle seemed to be in a hurry, Wu mo immediately said, " we''ve already started mass production, but it''ll take some time for the finished products to be distributed to the major organizations.


    The bald eagle nodded. He clenched his fists, and his eyes were filled with killing intent.


    I''m still not satisfied. When the invisibility cloak ispleted, I will avenge lone wolf. Last time, a few escaped. This time, I will tear all the scum who attacked lone wolf into a thousand pieces!


    Seeing the bald eagle''s angry face, Wu mo patted the back of his hand and consoled him, " " i know you''re in a hurry. i''ll help you apply as soon as the mass production ispleted. "


    it''s okay. We''re a Special Forces soldier. As long as you make a reservation, we''ll definitely be the first batch to get the equipment.


    the bald eagle raised its head, and the gloomy and terrifying expression on its face had returned to normal.


    the bald eagle was very grateful to wu mo. the other had not only consoled him a few times, but the equipment he had developed was also very useful to the xiuzhe and soldiers on the front line.


    He was also very easy-going and much easier to get along withpared to the other pedantic researchers.


    by the way, the reason why I was able toplete the spirit wave sword so quickly was because of the soldiers in the camp.


    after the drill, I interviewed a few soldiers from both the red and blue teams. The spirit wave sword was made ording to their requirements.


    As he spoke, Wu Mo''s mind turned. The next moment, a white light shed in front of the two, and a ck rectangr box with patterns appeared on the coffee table.


    The sunlight outside the window shone on the ck box, giving it a mysterious glow.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    "I''ve wasted so much of your time, it''s time to hand it over to you."


    Wu mo handed over the ck box.


    the bald eagle looked at the box and wu mo''s serious expression. he immediately understood that this was the spirit wave sword that the other party had mentioned.


    Thinking of this, he felt a little nervous, but he still took it immediately.


    the bald eagle''s heart started to race as he touched the rough surface of the ck box.


    Whenpanymander Zhang assigned him this mission, he didn''t mention what kind of new weapon it was. He only knew that it was very powerful and very precious.


    It was even better than the invisible armor.


    He subconsciously swallowed his saliva and then gently ced it on the coffee table in front of him.


    At the same time, he thought that a weapon stronger than the invisibility cloak should be a long knife or a sword. With a light swing, countless sharp shadows appeared.


    It could also be a whip, a chain, an axe, or something of the sort that was extremely powerful.


    He felt that with Wu Mo''s ability, he would definitely be able to bring him a huge surprise.


    "How is it? open it and take a look."


    Wu mo said immediately when he saw the bald eagle''s eyes change, as if he was expecting something.


    Yingluo, this won''t do. The new weapon is a military secret. We can''t just look at it.


    Hearing Wu Mo''s suggestion, the bald eagle was a little tempted, but he immediately suppressed his inner thoughts.


    these things had to be sent to the military camp unscathed. if anything happened to them on the way, he would not have the face to facepanymander zhang and his otherrades in the special forces.


    "Don''t worry, this weapon was originally for you guys to use, so it''s not a big problem."


    As Wu mo spoke, he immediately opened the box.


    The bald eagle''s eyes instantly widened, and the anticipation in his heart immediately increased.


    He fantasized that in such a small space, there might be folded high-tech Long Knives or other small but highly precise long-range weapons with great power.


    the bald eagle became a little nervous as the images shed through his mind.


    Soon, the ck box was opened.


    There was a groove in the center of the orange suede material inside, and inside it was a well-made, ck-tech sword hilt.


    Eh?


    The bald eagle was a little confused.


    Especially when he saw the special hilt that was only a few dozen centimeters long, his face was full of question marks.


    It was said that the new weapon was powerful.


    What''s with this sword hilt?


    The bald eagle didn''t know what was going on. He looked up at Wu mo and saw that thetter was still smiling confidently.


    Seeing this, a look of disappointment shed across the bald eagle''s face.

 Chapter 237 - Return to Report, the Dejected Bald Eagle

    Chapter 237: Return to Report, the Dejected Bald Eagle


    The hilt that was lying quietly in the box did not match the image that he had imagined. He was even unsure if it could be considered a weapon.


    Although he was full of questions and disappointment, he still did not show it on his face.


    ¡°How is it? I¡¯m sure you¡¯ve never seen a simr weapon before.¡±


    Wu Mo chuckled and exined, ¡°I named this weapon the Spirit Wave Sword. Not only can it shoot out several kinds ofsers, but it can also easily cut through armored vehicles. It¡¯s powerful, but it¡¯s very dangerous. When you press the button on it, don¡¯t use it on anyone!!¡±


    Seeing that Bald Eagle was still confused, Wu Mo said, ¡°You might not understand what I¡¯m saying. Why don¡¯t we try it out in the yard? But we can¡¯t use the highest grade, or it¡¯ll melt the asphalt road.¡±


    Hearing Wu Mo¡¯s serious words, Bald Eagle could not help but smile bitterly.


    This thing could melt asphalt roads and was that powerful?


    This group of researchers and cultivators really had the bad habit of bragging!


    ¡°Forget it, I believe you. There¡¯s no need to try it. It might cause more trouble.¡±


    Bald Eagle immediately closed the box with a smile and said, ¡°Brother, I appreciate your kindness, but this thing was specially ordered by Company Commander Zhang. I can¡¯t use it recklessly, so there¡¯s no need to test it.¡±


    With that, Bald Eagle finished thest half of his beer in one gulp and got up to leave.


    Wu Mo immediately sent him off, and the two of them chatted for a while in the courtyard.


    ¡°Brother Wu Mo, I¡¯ll report back now.¡± Bald Eagle cupped his hands and said with a sincere look.


    Wu Mo nodded. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s drink to our heart¡¯s content when we have the chance in the future!¡±


    Wu Mo watched Bald Eagle leave with his things and then returned to the living room.


    Looking at the two empty sses and a few bottles of beer on the coffee table, Wu Mo could not help but smile.


    Bald Eagle was a loyal person, and he was a good person to befriend.


    Moreover, even though his strength had reached the peak of six stars, he did not put on airs, and he was humble. He was always thinking of others. There were not many people like him nowadays.


    However, Bald Eagle was currently in a difficult situation, and it was still unknown if he could recover in the future.


    Thetter¡¯srade-in-arms, Lone Wolf, should also be an iron-blooded man. Such people often had very strong self-esteem, and being crippled would definitely be a huge blow to them.


    Whether or not he could walk out of this haze in the future, everything depended on himself.


    Thinking of this, Wu Mo felt a little depressed. He could not help but sigh and sit down again.


    The cultivator soldiers on the front lines not only had to take the risk of being killed by fierce beasts and enemies, but most of them would also be considered lucky to survive and be crippled for life, living a life that people would look at in a different light.


    That was indeed very difficult for those men who had strong self-esteem and were unwilling to give up easily.


    The Invisibility Armor and light sabers still could not protect the cultivators who were fighting the fierce beasts.


    They were not enough!


    There were also many soldiers who were injured for various reasons, but they still had great ambitions and wanted to serve the country!


    Wu Mo knew that the indomitable soldiers all yearned to go to the battlefield and contribute.


    However, reality had be their biggest obstacle, and no one could really help them.


    He could only say some words offort that did not hurt or even tear open a scar.


    Perhaps, he should consider doing something that could help this group of specialrades in the future.


    With that in mind, Wu Mo seemed excited.


    He looked out of the window with bright eyes, and an indescribable feeling spread in his heart.


    However, he could only temporarily put these things to the back of his mind because had to continue the work at hand.


    He needed to share the technology of the Spirit Wave Sword so that the subsequent mass production n could be implemented smoothly.


    Wu Mo immediately went to his bedroom on the second floor. He nned to write his thesis on theputer and hand it over to Academician Xuter.


    His footsteps were light, and it looked like he had a goal to strive for. He was thrilled.


    The words that he had said before about having a good rest in the next few days were now thrown to the back of his mind.


    Turning on theputer, Wu Mo¡¯s fingers moved quickly as he wrote down the three effects of the Spirit Wave Sword, including the principles of the heat wave, ray, and pulse as well as the weapon¡¯s internal structure.


    The more he wrote, the more excited he became, and he waspletely immersed in his work.


    On the other side, Bald Eagle took the ck box containing thetest weapon and left the fifth Research Department in a military vehicle.


    ¡°Captain, was the leader¡¯s mission difficult? Why did you return sote?¡±


    Inside the military vehicle that was speeding on the road, two young men in camouge military uniforms were sitting in the front row.


    Faced with their question, Bald Eagle heaved a sigh of relief and casually said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I was just dyed a little. It¡¯s not toote to go back now.


    The two young men sitting in the front row were hispanions who had followed him on this mission.


    However, their military ranks were low, so they did not know the details of the mission. They were only responsible for sending Bald Eagle to a secure ce.


    ¡°Oh, I know. Captain, are you in a bad mood? I feel like you appear much more haggard than before.¡±


    The soldier sitting in the front passenger seat looked at his captain¡¯s bloodshot eyes and could not help but ask.


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I just haven¡¯t had a good rest recently.¡±


    Bald Eagle made up an excuse.


    This passenger could tell that the captain was in a bad mood, so he did not disturb him.


    Bald Eagle felt a little lonely as he watched the scenery outside the window fly past him.


    He did not know what to do in the future.


    His identity and appearance had been exposed to the rebel organization, and the subsequent mission would inevitably be more difficult.


    In addition, he had fought against two core members of the organization outside the prisonst time.


    In the end, both of them were detained and locked in a special prison.


    Sadly, he was also injured because of that.


    It was quite serious. Although his daily life was not affected, his body would uncontrobly move and shake when he entered abative state.


    Whether it was using cold weapons or single-handed handguns, he was no longer able to reach 60% of his previous state.


    In other words, he was still at the peak of six stars on the surface, but his actualbat ability had decreased by several levels.


    Even if his enemy was only an early-stage six-star cultivator, it would be difficult for him to subdue him.


    Looking at his hands, which were full of scars and calluses, Bald Eagle¡¯s nose twitched.


    He wanted to continue to serve the federal government, maintain the peace of Nine Provinces, and destroy all those evil organizations.


    They would find the spies of other countries hiding in the capital one by one.


    Bald Eagle wanted to continue fighting side by side with his formerrades. He longed for every second on the battlefield and enjoyed the smell of blood on the enemy.

 Chapter 238 Surprise Attack

    He liked to drink and chat with Lone Wolf and his friends to show off his recent achievements.


    However, it seemed like he could not go back to the days before.


    Be it external or internal factors, they all pushed him further away from his goal, as if he would never reach the other side.


    At the thought of this, Bald Eagle sniffed.


    He looked down at the ck box in his hand, and Wu Mo''s words rang in his mind.


    "As long as you have the heart, anything can be done.


    "Modern technology is changing rapidly, and the wave of spirit energy rejuvenation is bing more and more ferocious. One day, Lone Wolf will continue to stand in front of you and fight alongside you."


    Thinking of this, Bald Eagle''s eyes actually showed a trace of yearning and anticipation.


    However, he soon regained his senses.


    With the development of modern science and technology, the industrial revolution of the steam engine era was rare.


    Technology had seemingly reached a certain limit, and it was now stagnant.


    As for the revival of spirit energy, it had been more than a hundred years, but most of the equipment produced by the times was to improve attack or defense.


    It was impossible to regrow broken limbs.


    Bald Eagle shook his head in self-mockery.


    The current him was so helpless that he yearned for the future ns and blueprints that Wu Mo had told him about.


    Not to mention the technology of limb regeneration that could only appear in science fiction movies, even the authenticity of the new weapon, theser sword, that he had now obtained was uncertain.


    A hilt with an unknown meaning, even if it was effective, how much use could it have? Wasn''t this what researchers often said about making empty promises?


    Although he saw Wu Mo as a brother and was willing to believe thetter''s words, he was not afraid of Wu Mo.


    However, this was the reality. Both technology and spirit energy had reached their limits. Therefore, he was still not optimistic about the weapons developed by Wu Mo and the future prospects.


    After all, the reality was already like this. how could there really be something like aser sword?


    Bald Eagle shook his head and looked out of the window. At the same time, he suppressed his thoughts.


    However, at this moment, he seemed to have suddenly noticed something. His expression turned cold, and a trace of coldness shed in his eyes.


    At this moment, the tworades sitting in the front row of the military vehicle immediately realized that something was wrong. However, their faces were a little ugly as if they were shocked by the things that appeared in front of them.


    Bald Eagle would never have thought that the illegal organization that had been hiding in the dark would dare to attack them on the streets of the capital in broad daylight!


    Through the rearview mirror, the three of them saw a huge armored engineering vehicle suddenly appear on the street not far behind the military vehicle. The rumbling sound of the engine almost exploded the entire street.


    The vehicles on the road, which were originally waiting for the red light, were directly knocked to the side by the engineering vehicle that weighed more than five tons.


    Compared to ordinary cars, the engineering vehicle was like a crane in a flock of chickens. It knocked away the vehicles waiting for the red light without any hindrance.


    Boom!


    The construction vehicles came in a menacing manner, and the streets were filled with screams and wails.


    The driver of the military vehicle was just about to get out of the vehicle, but at this time, the engineering vehicle had already rushed over with unparalleled momentum like a hungry tiger.


    "Be careful!"


    Seeing this, Bald Eagle immediately shouted.


    The next moment, the military vehicle was hit by the forklift. Even though the three of them had their seat belts on, they were still dizzy from the huge inertia.


    However, it did not stop there. The huge construction forklift dug its two iron forks into the base of the military vehicle, then lifted the entire military vehicle that Bald Eagle was sitting on, and mmed it into the wall.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    With a speed of almost 80 miles per hour, countless vehicles were destroyed along the way. In front of the five-ton engineering vehicle, the light cars were like toys.


    It was thrown to the side.


    Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Before Bald Eagle could react, the outer wall of the military vehicle that he was in was hit by arge engineering forklift.


    Boom!


    A loud noise was heard.


    The huge inertia caused Bald Eagle to fly into the air.


    Fortunately, the restraint of the safety belt prevented him from beingpletely thrown off, but the sudden eleration of gravity still made his head dizzy.


    He opened his eyes and found that the military vehicle had been deformed and had been hit by the engineering vehicle.


    Fortunately, the structure of the military vehicle was stable, and it was supported by two walls to form a triangr structure.


    Otherwise, he might have died here.


    Boom, boom, boom!


    The engineering vehicle backed up again as if it was ready to crash into the military vehicle.


    Bald Eagle''s eyes twitched. He immediately pulled out a dagger and cut the seat belt. At the same time, he shouted, "Get out of the car!"


    The other twopanions had only just recovered from the violent impact. Hearing Bald Eagle''s words, they broke their seat belts one after another, then picked up the safety hammer hanging on the side and directly broke the half-broken ss.


    He hurriedly escaped.


    Less than half a second after the three of them escaped from the vehicle, therge engineering vehicle crashed into them again.


    This time, the wall could no longer withstand the force and was deformed by the huge force.


    The military vehicle that was caught in the triangle had already be a living discus.


    He could only vaguely tell that the pile of scrap metal had once been a military vehicle.


    With a quick recovery, Bald Ragle managed to offset the impact and get up first. He held the box under his armpit with one hand and immediately helped his tworades up.


    At this moment, a group of people jumped out of the engineering vehicle and surrounded the three people without saying anything.


    Bald Eagle''s eyes turned gloomy when he saw the familiar badges on their chests.


    Sure enough, they were the only ones who could do such an anti-human thing.


    Unfortunately, in order to prevent the mission from failing and the situation was urgent, he only had time to bring the box out safely. Other than a dagger, he did not even bring out any weapons!


    His twopanions were also injured to varying degrees, and they probably didn''t even have the strength to fight.


    ''Oh no, we''ve actually been discovered,'' Bald eagle cursed in his heart and subconsciously took a few steps back.


    At this moment, a man wearing sunsses walked out from among the men in ck who were surrounding them.


    The man was about 1.7 meters tall and muscr. He was dressed in a ck suit and looked to be in his forties.


    "We''ve finally caught you, Bald Eagle. The organization has been talking about you as if you''re a god, but now it seems that you''re just mediocre!"


    The man took off his sunsses, revealing a pair of triangr eyes with a fierce look.


    The members of the organization around them immediately took a step forward and continued to reduce the living space of the enemy.


    Bald Eagle''s expression turned cold as he looked at the familiar-looking man in front of him. The members of the illegal organization were like haunting ghosts, chasing him all the way there.

 Chapter 239 - Chapter 239: Jumping Out of the Car and Being Surrounded!

    Chapter 239: Jumping Out of the Car and Being Surrounded!


    It must be known that this ce was not far from the heart of the capital. For the other party to make a move in such a ce, were they not worried about being caught by the capital¡¯s city defense army?


    Two of hisrades stood beside Bald Eagle, each holding a Premium-grade weapon. Even though they were scared, they had no intention of retreating.


    The middle-aged man in the lead saw that the bald eagle was still going all out without any fear, and his heart itched with hatred.


    Bald Eagle was clearly injured and could not fight. Furthermore, he did not bring any weapons when he jumped out of the car in an emergency. Instead, he was carrying a cumbersome ck box.


    That thing must be something important.


    When he thought about how his own brother was killed by Bald Eagle before him, he felt so angry that he clenched his fists.


    He pointed at Bald Eagle not far away and shouted angrily, ¡°Bald Eagle, you killed my brother, Wan Liang, a few days ago. This time, I¡¯m going to kill the two of you with my own hands and bury you with my brother!¡±


    As soon as the man in the lead finished speaking, the members of the organization around them immediately pulled out their guns and pointed them at the three people who were forced into the corner.


    Looking at the ck muzzles of the guns, Bald Eagle calcted in his heart.


    His body was currently injured, and he could only use 60% of his usual abilities.


    However, the other party was Wan Liang¡¯s brother. His ability should not be lower than a middle-stage six-star cultivator.


    In terms of one-on-onebat, he was not the leader¡¯s match.


    Not to mention, he had a lot of four-star and above subordinates.


    In the first round of shooting, even if he condensed his spirit energy to resist, he would definitely not be able tost for 10 seconds.


    His opponent was approaching fiercely and not giving him any time to react. There were many of them and they had guns. In this situation, only a seven-star cultivator could escape.


    If he was at his peak, Bald Eagle could still fight for its life, but it was impossible to leave now.


    Thinking of this, Bald Eagle¡¯s eyes turned even colder.


    Ever since he started cultivating, he had been prepared to die for the country.


    For peace between the federal government and the Nine Provinces, he was willing to give up everything!


    The eyes of his tworades were equally determined. When they first entered the army, they had already given up on a peaceful life. After all, in every era, there had to be someone carrying the burden to move forward in order to protect the safety of the city and the people!


    ¡°Tough bones, huh? I¡¯ll cripple you now!¡±


    Seeing that Bald Eagle was still as calm as ever, Wan Hu¡¯s eyes twitched, and he almost could not control the anger in his heart.


    He quickly walked toward Bald Eagle.


    The people around him immediately moved forward with their guns and pointed the barrels at his temples!


    ¡°You better not move, or I won¡¯t mind killing your tworades first.¡±


    Wan Hu grinned eerily, revealing a few ck teeth.


    Bald Eagle¡¯s eyes were cold, and he did not say anything.


    Two of hisrades had guns pointed at their heads, and the situation had be terrible.


    ¡°Tough guy, pretending to be profound? I don¡¯t believe you¡¯re not afraid of death.¡±


    Wan Hu clenched his fist, and the spirit energy in his body surged. He then punched Bald Eagle¡¯s chest.


    Bald Eagle¡¯s head was pinned, and he could not dodge at all.


    Moreover, he was holding a box in his hand, so he did not even have the ability to defend himself.


    Seeing Wan Hu¡¯s fist smashing down and the wind from his fist blowing toward his face, Bald Eagle was quick-witted in the emergency.


    In any case, the sword hilt inside the box was only a few dozen centimeters in size. Even if the box was smashed, it should not be damaged.


    He subconsciously ced the box in front of him.


    In an instant, a huge force attacked. The ck box that contained thetest weapon was hard, but it could not withstand a heavy punch from the six-star cultivator.


    It cracked on the spot, and wood chips flew everywhere.


    The remaining energy in Wan Hu¡¯s fist smashed into Bald Eagle¡¯s chest, and thetter was immediately forced back a few steps by the tremendous force.


    The moment it was hit by the wind from the Ten Thousand Tiger Fist, Bald Eagle reached out and grabbed the hilt of the sword that had fallen off.


    At this moment, he finally managed to stabilize himself. He raised the hilt of the sword high, afraid that the desperado in front of him would damage it.


    He felt a burst of pain in his chest, making him almost unable to breathe, and his face turned pale.


    His tworades on the side had guns pointed at them. They could only watch as their leader, Bald Eagle, was abused by the d*mned illegal organization. The anger in their hearts made them clench their teeth so hard that they almost broke them.


    Just as they were about to go all out, Bald Eagle shook its head, indicating that it was not the time yet.


    At this moment, there were more than a dozen enemies around. Even if they fought back with all their might, it was absolutely impossible to cause a ssh.


    Rather than making a meaningless resistance, it was better to preserve their strength.


    He slowly stood up straight, and the intense pain caused a thinyer of sweat to ooze out of his forehead.


    However, even in this situation, he still held the hilt of his sword tightly.


    It did not matter if this thing would work or not.


    As long as it was a mission assigned by the higher-ups, he had toplete it, even if it meant paying with his life.


    He saw Bald Eagle holding the hilt of the sword carefully.


    The robbers on the outside could not help butugh wildly.


    ¡°No way, the thing that you, Bald Eagle, risked your life to bring out is this broken thing?¡±


    This thing is worse than a toy gun. You don¡¯t think we¡¯ll be afraid of it, do you? ¡±


    The crowd had sinister smiles on their faces as they mocked him madly.


    They had thought that Bald Eagle would be involved in a lot of military secrets since he was personally carrying out the mission.


    In the end, the leader had finallye up with a n. First, he was going to kill Bald Eagle to avenge his brother. Second, he was going to ruin the military¡¯s n.


    But now, it seemed that the thing in Bald Eagle¡¯s hand was a piece of junk.


    It was not a confidential document of a powerful weapon.


    This thing did not even have a de. It was just an empty shell.


    ¡°Your mission is to transport these toy guns? Then you¡¯re dead meat today!


    ¡°Hmph!¡± Wan Hu snorted coldly and immediately used his mind to control his spirit energy to wrap it around his body. He nned to turn his opponent into minced meat in front of everyone.


    Bald Eagle¡¯s defense was also about to break under the mockery of the robbers.


    He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid of a meaningless death.


    Company Commander Zhang and the battalionmander had arranged for him to do a mission. Was it really insignificant?


    Looking at the light sword hilt and thinking of those people¡¯s ridicule, Bald Eagle could not be angry. He only felt embarrassed, and the corner of his mouth unwittingly twitched.


    ¡°Die!


    ¡°Die!¡± Wan Hu roared and immediately charged at Bald Eagle.


    He was wearing a pair of Epic-grade boxing gloves, and his whole body was like a cannonball, extremely fast.


    Bald Eagle suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart, and his eyes turned cold.


    If the other party immediately used fire suppression to kill him, it would be fine, but if they were to fight without restraint, he would not easily surrender!


    His path of cultivation did not allow him to silently endure his enemy¡¯s fists.

 Chapter 240 Is This Thing Worth Risking Your Life To Protect? Its Just A Toy Gun!

    Thinking of this, his eyes immediately shed with a glimmer of light, and at the same time, majestic spirit energy swept out from his body.


    The next moment, Bald Eagle stomped on the ground and shot toward his opponent like an arrow.


    ''He still dares to take the initiative to attack when he''s injured. He really doesn''t know what''s good for him!!''


    Seeing that Bald Eagle still dared to resist, Wang Hu snorted and immediately increased the strength of his punch by 30%.


    In an instant, their two energies collided, and a loud sound rang out at the same time!


    Boom!


    Along with the sound, there was apressed airwave.


    The air st threw the surrounding dust into the air, and the ground copsed more than 10 centimeters from the pressure of the two energies.


    Deng deng deng.


    Bald Eagle took a few steps back. The huge force had really caused his blood to boil. A sweet taste rushed to his throat, but he swallowed it back down.


    On the other hand, Wang Hu only took a step back. His spiritual power was even stronger than Bald Eagle''s.


    Of course, this was because Bald Eagle was injured. If he was at his peak, Wang Hu would not be able to withstand 10 moves from Bald Eagle.


    As soon as Wang Hunded on the ground, he immediately rushed forward.


    Bald Eagle swiftly adjusted his breathing and battle rhythm, trying his best to keep up with the other party''s speed.


    The two countered each other''s moves, each punchnding on the flesh.


    Wang Hu''s attacks were strange, and each punch was extremely heavy. Bald Eagle had to go all out to block them.


    On the other hand, Bald Eagle had also undergone professional training and had richbat experience.


    Although he was injured and his spirit energy and strength had decreased, he was still able to block Wang Hu''s attacks.


    Their spirit energy was constantly being consumed, and the battle between the two left afterimages behind. The wind from their fists even caused the ground to sink.


    "Brother Wang, cripple him."


    A few of the robbers immediately cheered.


    As they observed the movements on the street, they also paid attention to the appearance of the City Defense Army.


    The other two soldiers who were under control were forced to watch the battle. They had to witness Bald Eagle''s death.


    However, as the battle dragged on, Wang Hu''s attacking posture gradually began to show problems.


    In the early stages, he was able to suppress Bald Eagle with his rich spirit energy.


    But as the battle dragged on, the other party seemed to have figured out his tactics.


    Not only was Bald Eagle able to fight as he pleased, but he would also counterattack from time to time.


    In addition, his fist technique was not bad. However, Wang Hu was not in a very stable condition. After being attacked a few times, he immediately lost his bnce.


    Very quickly, there was a reversal in the battle. Bald Eagle became more and more powerful as he fought, and he began to force his opponent to parry.


    Now, it was Wang Hu''s turn to be dumbfounded.


    He could not figure it out no matter how much he thought about it. Bald Eagle was clearly injured and did not even have a decent weapon, but he was still able to turn defeat into victory and even go on the offensive.


    However, he did not know that the reason why Bald Eagle could be the captain of the special forces was not only because of his excellent use of weapons but also because of his strong closebat skills.


    Even if he did not have enough spirit energy, he could still turn the situation around by relying on his skills.


    The sound of the wind could be heard as Wang Hu subconsciously stepped back and raised his hand to block.


    However, Bald Eagle crouched down and punched Wang Hu in the chin.


    The powerful punch sent Wang Hu, who weighed 160 pounds, flying.


    Thetter quickly adjusted his body in the air so that he did not fall too badly.


    "Bald Eagle is awesome!"


    Earlier, Bald Eagle''srades who had been held up by the robbers had nervous and worried looks on their faces. They had been afraid that their leader would not be able to hold on and would be in danger.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    But in the blink of an eye, they saw Bald Eagle send the leader of the robbers flying with a punch.


    Seeing this, the two soldiers'' eyes lit up, and they immediately shouted with excitement.


    "As expected of him. Even though he''s injured and without a weapon, he can still easily beat up the other party."


    On the other side, Wang Hu was in a terrible state. He had been beaten ck and blue by Bald Eagle, and his hands were trembling.


    He was obviously not thetter''s match.


    "D*mn it, even this can''t stop you."


    Wang Hu''s face was red with anger, and his veins were bulging.


    He wanted to ask his men to shoot and break one of Bald Eagle''s legs before he tried again.


    However, before he could give the order, an ear-piercing siren suddenly came from the distance.


    "F*ck, there''s no time. Never mind, it''s too easy for you to die. Shoot him to death first!"


    Wang Hu''s mouth twitched. He immediately grabbed a semi-automatic rifle from the person beside him and shouted.


    The robbers around him knew that they did not have much time left and immediately raised their pistols or rifles.


    Even though this kind of single-shot hot weapon was not very effective against a six-star cultivator, his spirit energy would definitely be exhausted after a round of continuous shooting. At that time, they would add machine guns and kill him for sure.


    He waved his hand, and everyone immediately pulled the safety and pulled the trigger.


    "Captain!"


    Seeing that the group of beasts seemed to have murderous intent, Bald Eagle''s two team members who had guns pointed at their heads were so angry that their eyes were about to pop out. They shouted subconsciously.


    Ratatata!


    However, the next moment, their voices were interrupted by a series of gunshots. More than a dozen bullets pierced through the void and headed straight for Bald Eagle who was surrounded in the corner.


    Such a sure-death situation did not give Bald Eagle any time to prepare.


    The moment his opponent raised his gun, he activated all the spirit energy in his body without hesitation.


    The moment the gunshot was heard, he subconsciously raised his dagger to block it.


    In that split second, Bald Eagle knew that he was going to die, so he subconsciously tensed up all his muscles, and his thumb identally pressed the switch on the Spirit Wave Sword''s handle.


    "Oh?"


    Everyone heard a ng, and the next moment, there was a hole in the sword hilt that was only a few dozen centimeters long.


    Suddenly, a white beam of light that was more than a meter long shed.


    It was the color of the Heat Wave beam, the highest gear of the Spirit Wave Sword.


    The moment the white light appeared, the rapidly approaching bullet was directly split open without any suspense.


    The intense heat vaporized the bullet before it could even disperse!


    A dozen 5.8 mm rifle bullets followed closely behind. They pierced through the air and entered the range of the Heat Wave beam.


    Without even a ssh, they instantly evaporated and disappeared without a trace.


    There were also some fluctuations produced by their own speed, which were closer to the frequency of the heat wave, and they were suspended in the air.


    They melted at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into a pool of molten iron.


    None of the bullets were spared. They were either destroyed by the high temperature of the heat wave or blocked by the maic field generated and lost their kic energy. They also could not escape from being melted.


    The white light that shot out from the hilt of the sword seemed to be turning translucent.


    Moreover, because the light beam had been specially adjusted, most of the kic energy would only dissipate in front of it, which meant that Bald Eagle was unscathed as he held the hilt.


    Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...


    The bullets melted into molten iron and burned the floor tiles, causing them to sizzle and smoke. The White dazzling light shone on everyone''s faces, making them pale.

 Chapter 241 The Light Saber Intimidates Everyone Present!

    Even Bald Eagle, who was using a weapon, was dumbfounded.


    Everything that was happening in front of him was like the environment.


    The bullets all turned into molten iron and fell to the ground. Some of them even vaporized on the spot when they got close.


    If not for the pungent nitric acid in the air, no one would believe what they saw.


    The criminals who had nned all of this, as well as their leader, Wang Hu, had their eyes wide open. They looked on in a daze as the Whiteser beams continued to shoot out.


    Each and every one of them had their mouths wide open, their faces filled with confusion.


    Even the two criminals who were controlling the members of Bald Eagle''s team subconsciously let go of their hands.


    It was shocking and terrifying!


    Even bullets were melted in an instant. What kind of f*cking dagger was this?


    Even Wang Hu, who was an intermediate six-star, could not help but tremble at the sight.


    The high temperature of the beam could melt a bullet from a meter away, so it must be above 8,000 degrees!


    When they looked at the floor tiles that had been melted by the molten iron, many of the robbers felt a chill run from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads!


    Everyone was stunned by the sudden appearance of this thing.


    Just as the robbers were about to react, Bald Eagle was the first to react when it felt a warm sensation.


    As the heat waves continued to shoot out, the hilt had already begun to heat up. It was likely that the metal of the hilt could no longer withstand such high temperatures.


    After understanding this, the bald eagle immediately swung its wrist and swung its sword at the crowd.


    The criminals around them did not stand too far away to prevent the bald eagle from escaping.


    At this moment, the heat wave swept across and spread the high temperature in a fan shape.


    However, not only was the linear transmission fast, but it could also preserve most of the energy.


    That was why the bald eagle''s powerful swing had transmitted the energy of the beam in a linear manner.


    seeing that the bald eagle had made the first move, the other criminals finally reacted and subconsciously wanted to raise their guns to shoot.


    Suddenly, a bright light shed.


    In the next second, the criminals were shocked to find that the rifles and handguns in their hands had been cut off. The cuts were as smooth as a mirror, and there was no resistance at all!


    Moreover, the high temperature of the energy produced by the light beam passed through the weapon, and in just an instant, the body of the gun became hot.


    All the criminals felt the heat and threw their broken weapons on the ground.


    ? "What the hell is Yingluo!"


    Seeing that the cold guns were easily cut open, the dozen or so criminals finally couldn''t hold it in any longer. All of them looked terrified and ran for their lives as if they had seen a ghost.


    If the thing in the bald eagle''s hand touched them, their limbs would die, and they might even be roasted.


    Although they were bold, it was impossible for them not to be afraid of death!


    Seeing that his subordinates were all defeated, he only wished that his parents had given him two more legs.


    wang hu''s entire body was shaking like a sieve.


    For the first time, he felt that the spiritual power in his body waspletely useless.


    If they were swept by the light beam at a close distance, even a seven stars realm xiuzhe would have a hard time!


    The key was that no matter how dense the spiritual energy was, it was impossible for it tost a few seconds in the face of this high temperature light beam.


    Unless they ran fast enough, even if the gods came, they would be finished!


    Seeing that there was no point in fighting anymore, he no longer had any scruples and turned to escape.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    The more than ten scoundrels, who were initially eyeing covetously, and the leader whose strength was at the intermediate six-star realm, fled in defeat the moment they saw the beam saber.


    seeing this, the bald eagle''s heart shook.


    But now that the illegal organizations were about to escape, the bald eagle didn''t care about his feelings and chased after them with his beam saber.


    At this moment, he remembered that Wu mo had told him that the beam saber had three levels, and the second level had the strongest attack range.


    The bald eagle immediately pressed the button for middle gear, and a redser beam reced it.


    Theser beam was about two meters long. Although it was slightly inferior to the circr high-temperature damage of the heat wave, it had an advantage in attack range and could ignore the opponent''s armor.


    The most important thing was that it was not as lethal as heat waves. Even if it hit the enemy, it would not kill them.


    After all, the pration of a ray was like a bullet that could cause real damage.


    It would not be like the heat wave, which would cut him in half.


    Thinking of this, the bald eagle immediately mobilized the spiritual energy in his body and used the wind-chasing steps to chase after the ruffians who had scattered in all directions.


    The two team members were in charge of the logistics, tying up the criminals who were hit and screaming to prevent future trouble.


    Under the pursuit of the bald eagle, more than half of the fourteen criminals were subdued in less than ten minutes.


    Only Wang Hu was left, leading a group of people to escape into the distance.


    fortunately, the city defense army arrived in time and directly blocked the way of wang hu and the others.


    However, due to Wang Hu''s powerful strength, the members of the city defense Army who were on five-star realm did not dare to stop him.


    At the same time, they were also a little surprised. Didn''t the public call the police saying that there was a terrorist attack?


    Why was it that the bald eagle was chasing after the terrorists and shing at them?


    Especially when they saw the bald eagle holding a two-meter-long redser sword, like a god of death.


    All the city defense Army members were stunned on the spot.


    At this moment, the bald eagle was holding a two-meter longser sword and chasing after the mid-six-star Wang Hu like a chicken. Everyone was shocked and could not help but open their mouths.


    " f * ck, he''s so handsome!! "


    this Wang Hu has the strength of a middle-stage six-star. Why is he running away like a rat with his head covered?!


    Sir Bald eagle, you are my God!!


    Many of the members of the city defense Army knew the code name ''bald eagle''.


    It was just that he had never seen them before and only understood a little from the words of the leaders.


    The city defense Army immediately divided into three teams. One team rescued the ordinary people who had been hit by the engineering vehicles, while the other team evacuated the abandoned vehicles.


    There was also a group of people who directly escorted the subdued criminals into the patrol vehicles and prepared to bring them back to the headquarters for careful interrogation.


    On the other side, Wang Hu couldn''t bear the pain of being pierced by the high temperature. There were several holes all over his body, and he didn''t even have the strength to run.


    in the end, they could only be brought into the patrol vehicle by a few five-star realm city guards.


    He looked at everything around him that was being repaired in an orderly manner, and his two team members were standing by his side unscathed.


    The white-headed Eagle gradually calmed down.


    " captain bai, you''re so brave. hu wang was almost in tears when he was dragged into the car. "


    "captain, you look so cool with yourser sword."


    The two team members looked at the glowing beam saber in the bald eagle''s hand and drooled.

 Chapter 242 One Person Chasing After Fourteen People, The Dust Has Settled

    It was one against 14, and they were all blood-licking criminals. The light saber yed a crucial role in subduing these people this time.


    If he had brought his weapon and not this thing when he jumped out of the car, the end result would definitely not have been so easy!


    Bald Eagle''s hands were shaking uncontrobly. Even if this light saber was at the lowest level, the damage it caused was still very significant.


    However, to be able to subdue these criminals so quickly, it had to be the most high-end function.


    In one go, the weapons of more than a dozen people were all destroyed, causing those people to lose their will to fight and only know how to run.


    If they had regrouped together and retaliated, he might have had to spend more effort.


    However, this also showed that the light saber''s ability was something that no weapon below the level of a Divine weapon could do.


    Even though he was calmly analyzing the situation, Bald Eagle was still extremely excited when he thought about how he had single-handedly subdued all of them.


    If it was not for the city guards working around him, he would have shouted out what he was thinking.


    This f*cking light saber is simply awesome, s!


    "Brother Wu Mo was honest with me,"


    It was all thanks to the sword that Wu Mo had developed that he was able to turn misfortune into fortune.


    If this thing could be circted to the hands of every cultivator, would the Nine Provinces not be able to do whatever they wanted in the world?


    How could those high-ranking beasts have the chance to hurt people?


    He killed one with a single sh.


    If it could really be done to such an extent...


    Even a Rank 10 Monster King had to carve a tombstone for itself overnight.


    Cool!


    Bald Eagle had been a little depressed at first, worried that he would not be able to serve the federal government in the future, but now it seemed that he had been overthinking.


    With a genius like Wu Mo around, there was nothing they could not do in the future.


    Even if he was paralyzed, Wu Mo might still be able to create a brainputer interface and transform him into a Gundam, let alone if his identity was exposed!


    Thinking of this, Bald Eagle was excited.


    Perhaps in the future, Lone Wolf could really fight alongside him again.


    Wu Mo would still be the one to forge.


    Pressing the button on the hilt, Bald Eagle watched as theser gradually faded and the gem on the hilt lit up again. He immediately raised his head and said in a calm tone, "Let''s go. Follow them to the City Defense Army''s base and investigate the suspicious points behind this matter."


    Bald Eagle walked toward the city guards, and the two members immediately followed him happily.


    "Sir, thank you for your hard work."


    A member of the City Defense Army in a blue uniform spoke respectfully when he saw Bald Eagle walking over with two other members.


    "I''ll have to trouble you to bring these scrapped military vehicles to the City Defense Station," Bald Eagle ordered and immediately got into the car.


    His team member nodded, then began to arrange for others to tow the truck.


    After a short while, everyone hadpleted their tasks. The road that was originally congested with scrapped vehicles was once again open.


    "What happened? Why is a part of the road copsed? Did the natural gas pipeline explode?"


    "I don''t know. It''s been sealed for more than 30 minutes. We''re finally free now."<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    "You didn''t see it, but there were a few ambnces here just now. It seems that many people are injured."


    Seeing a member of the City Defense Army remove the roadblock, the drivers in the congested vehicles poked their heads out and began to talk.


    It did not take long for the car to resume traffic.


    However, this incident still attracted the attention of many people, and some people even posted photos of the scene on the Inte.


    However, less than half an hourter, the Network Information Department deleted everything, and the matter was considered to havee to an end.


    On the other side, in the City Defense Station, countless staff members locked up the dozen or so criminals in the interrogation room.


    Wang Hu was locked in a special room.


    The room was protected by a Tier 3 Dharma Array, and the walls and iron bars were also made of special metals. It was impossible for Wang Hu at his peak, let alone now that he was covered in holes.


    At this moment, the dozen or so criminals were being held separately and were undergoing preliminary interrogation.


    However, for this interrogation, the team members who were actually present did not go. Those in charge of the interrogation were all professionals with relevant knowledge.


    In the bright interrogation room, the light above his head was a little ring, and the surroundings were bare, with only an interrogation chair ced in the center.


    A ruffian in his early 40s, with sparse hair on his head, was handcuffed.


    A meter away, two police officers were staring at him.


    There was heating in the interrogation room, and the venttion was good.


    However, the criminal in front of him had been trembling all over ever since he was sent there as if he had epilepsy.


    "Let''s put it another way. What did you do before the City Defense Army arrived? If you don''t tell us the truth, you''ll have to stay here forever!"


    The interrogator sat in the chair, his face as cold as ice, and there was a trace of anger in his expression.


    The other one was slightly older and more experienced, so his expression was more natural.


    "Sir, I''ve really told you everything. After we left the hideout, we hijacked an engineering vehicle and discovered Bald Eagle''s location in advance. Then, we came directly to this street.


    "ording to the n, our boss first forced the other party to the corner of a building by the road and then prepared to kill him. However, our boss was no match for him, so he ran away."


    The middle-aged criminal''s voice trembled as he spoke. Cold sweat dripped from his forehead, and his face was still filled with panic.


    When he was exining his previous work, he was rtively normal. But toward the end, his face suddenly became frightened, and even his voice was a little unstable.


    "What happened after that? Tell me!" the young examiner could not help but urge.


    In his opinion, the criminal was just pretending.


    He was already a f*cking desperado. If he was not even afraid of being shot, what else was there to be afraid of?


    The middle-aged criminal paused for a moment, then continued with difficulty. "After that, our boss ordered us to shoot Bald Eagle, and I did as he said."


    At this point, some of the balding criminals were almost in tears.


    "After that, that f*cking Bald Eagle stopped pretending and took out a longser sword."


    He waved his hands and legs and said with tears in his eyes, "With just a swish, he melted all the bullets and cut off all the guns in our hands! The skin on my hand is burning!"


    The criminal was on the verge of a mental breakdown. He held his head and shouted, "Not only can that thing extend and shorten, but it also has a high temperature of over 10,000 degrees. Whoever touches it will definitely bepletely cooked!


    "Although I''m not afraid of death, I''m afraid I''ll be roasted alive. Who can bear it?


    "That beam saber isn''t something from the real world at all. It can shoot out a two-meter-long ray with a whoosh and can even shoot out pulse waves as thick as a wrist. I''m wearing Epic-grade soft armor, but it couldn''t protect me. It burned me so badly that I peed."

 Chapter 243 Interrogation, Experiment

    The scoundrel''s face was sometimes aghast, sometimes aggrieved, and he even used onomatopoeic words while dancing.


    The two interrogators were confused.


    The young interrogator could not take it anymore. He stood up with a gloomy face and mmed the table.


    Pa!


    The loud sound broke the criminal out of his mental breakdown and he looked at the other person with tears in his eyes.


    "Are you writing a science fiction novel? Do you want me to tip you a couple of yuan?" the young interrogator said with a cold face, not believing a single word the other party said.


    This made the criminal almost cry. What he said was all f*cking true!


    How unreasonable.


    "Brother Chen, you interrogate him first. I''m going out for some fresh air."


    The interrogator, Xiao Wang, turned around and walked out the door.


    One person was left behind to keep an eye on the criminal.


    "Big brother, please believe me. I''m telling the truth. I swear on my family that I''m not hiding a single thing from you."


    Seeing that the criminal had begun to swear, the interrogator called Brother Chen remained calm.


    "You''re already a Desperado. You''re probably the only one left in your family. Lei Min, if you''re ying, then just wait and see."


    Brother Chen leaned back in his chair. It did not matter if he believed that he had already taken down the statement or not. He had to give the other party some cold air first.


    He closed his eyes and began to rest.


    The criminal sitting in the interrogation chair was immediately exposed.


    Of all the things the boss could have done, the boss had to target Bald Eagle, and now, he was dead!


    His heart was like dead ashes, and he one-way ss with no spirit.


    Beyond the ss, Xiao Wang walked past the corridor and said unhappily, "D*mn, these scoundrels are all second-timers. Their acting skills are so good that they''re talking about pulling out light sabers. Why don''t they just say that Mr. Bald Eagle used a spaceship to hit people?!"


    He walked down the stairs to the basement, wanting to report to the captain about the interrogation.


    However, when he went down and pushed the door open, he found that the captain''s small office was full of people.


    There were more than a dozen people in the room, almost filling up the small office, andthey were all familiar faces.


    At this moment, all of them were staring at Bald Eagle, who was standing in the middle, in shock and excitement.


    Those who were clueless would think that they had been paid to do so.


    Looking at the captain who was standing not far away, Xiao Wang immediately squeezed in.


    Just as he was about to speak, he saw Bald Eagle holding a strange-looking sword hilt and pointing it at a tungsten steel ingot on the table.


    This thing was left behind by one of the cksmiths in the armyst time. It was a memento for the captain.


    He only knew that this thing was dead heavy and so hard that even a knife could not cut it.


    He had no idea why Bald Eagle was so interested in this thing.


    Just as he was feeling strange, Bald Eagle suddenly pressed a button on the hilt of his sword.


    In the next second, a blinding beam of light burst out from the hilt.


    Before he could react, the beam of light disappeared again.


    In the blink of an eye, the fist-sized tungsten steel ingot in front of him was cut into two!


    "F*ck, Mr. Bald Eagle really has a light saber!!


    "F*ck, that dog was actually telling the truth!"


    Xiao Wang felt that his worldview had copsed.


    This was not the development of technology, but the recovery of spirit energy.


    They were about to fast-forward to the Star Wars era. Even the lightsaber was out!<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    The others present were also stunned, and they eximed, "This thing is good. If we encounter fierce high-ranking beasts in the future, won''t we be able to kill them with one sh?! "


    "He can even cut through tungsten steel with a hardness of 95. Isn''t he invincible?"


    "As expected of Mr. Bald Eagle. He can even get his hands on such a thing."


    Seeing everyone''s eyes widen, even the team leader, who was in charge of dozens of people, revealed the expression of a country bumpkin.


    Bald Eagle was quite pleased.


    "Brother, where did you get this? Can you get one for our interrogation team?" the head of the interrogation team said with envy.


    As early as yesterday, he had heard from his men that the fifth Research Department had developed a powerful weapon.


    He had even gone to the other team leaders to ask. When he learned that the new weapon was aser sword, he did not believe it at first.


    Now that he had seen the new weapon in front of him, he had to believe it. This thing could even cut through tungsten steel easily. It was a divine weapon!


    In the future, if their prisoners refused to give them any answers, he could just take theser sword and scare the prisoner to death.


    "Ahem, I''m sorry, but this is confidential. You can just take a look, but don''t tell anyone."


    Bald Eagle revealed a mysterious smile.


    "If you want to know where this thing came from, ask your leader. I have to go back and report to my leader."


    After saying that, Bald Eagle ced the Spirit Wave Sword into the safe that he had requested and left with his tworades.


    He had originally nned to rest and regroup before leaving, but who knew that these sheltered people would want to see the sword? He could only reluctantly agree.


    After Bald Eagle left, the interrogators looked at each other and then turned to look at their captain.


    "Ahem, don''t worry. I''ll drink some water first and ask the leader."


    Facing everyone''s heated gazes, the captain of the interrogation teamughed dryly. He was about to stand up to get a cup, but a team member beside him pressed him down.


    "Why are you still drinking water at a time like this? Hurry up and ask the leader. He should at least give us one."


    "That''s right. Why don''t you look at the timing? You can die of thirstter."


    The team members who were usually respectful to their captain were not polite at all.


    The captain dared not say a thing. In fact, he wanted to get his hands on the light saber too.


    Taking his phone out, the captain immediately dialed the number of their top leader.


    The rest of his team members could not wait any longer and immediately left to contact the other team leaders in charge of security.


    The head captain of the City Defense Army was Chu Li. He was in charge of all the affairs in the station.


    Chu Li''s only superior was the station chief, Xia Chengtian.


    He was in charge of contacting the higher-ups and solving some of the problems that Head Captain Chu Li could not handle.


    At this moment, Xia Chengtian was still in his office talking to the military leaders.


    However, his cell phone at the side kept beeping, indicating that he had received a text message.


    He could only temporarily give up his work and pick up his phone in confusion.


    If anything happened in the City Defense Station, they could have just contacted Chu Li directly. Did something else happen?


    Looking at the many messages from the captains and even a few missed calls, Xia Chengtian''s heart dropped.


    Had something happened in the station and even Chu Li could not solve it?


    He immediately opened his message inbox and instantly realized the severity of the problem.


    "General, do you know the details of the light saber?"


    "General, do you know who made theser sword?"


    "Hello, General."


    Seeing all the team leaders sending messages asking about aser sword, Xia Chengtian immediately understood everything.

 Chapter 244 A Visit From The Station Chief

    Among the messages, he saw that there was a video that was a few minutes long attached to the message from the interrogation team.


    He immediately clicked on it to check, and when he saw Bald Eagle visiting the City Defense Station, he was a little confused.


    When the other party took out a strange-looking hilt, Xia Chengtian knew that Wu Mo''s Spirit Wave Sword had already been produced.


    After seeing Bald Eagle easily cut through the tungsten steel with the Spirit Wave Sword, Xia Chengtian could not sit still anymore.


    Thest time he had to visit the fifth Research Department to provide work guidance, he had something to do and could not get away, so he asked Chu Li to go on his behalf.


    However, after hearing him brag, Xia Chengtian was filled with regret.


    It was a pity that the video had been sent directly to the military, so he never got to see it.


    Now, he finally saw the true face of the new weapon in the current video.


    His entire body was filled with excitement. Even though he was the only major general in the capital and had a high status, he was still excited like a child when faced with Wu Mo''s new weapon.


    The Spirit Wave Sword could cut through iron like mud, and even military vehicles made of special metals could not block it. It was indeed worthy of its reputation.


    He watched the less than three-minute video over and over again, thinking that if they could get a few of these things, would thebat power of their City Defense Army not soar?


    The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He immediately called back and told the team leaders one by one to think of a way to get a few Spirit Wave Swords to strengthen their image.


    The 12 captains in the City Defense Station were shocked when they received the news.


    He immediately gathered dozens of core members for a meeting.


    "What? Do you know which professor forged theser sword?"


    "The station chief''s words are absolutely true!"


    "F*ck, hurry up and tell us. We already know who it is. We have to snatch him and bring him over here."


    "Don''t mess around. Maybe he''s an 80-year-old professor. What if he doesn''t give us the equipment after you scare him?"


    "Awesome, our station chief is really well-informed."


    Everyone had different opinions in the meeting room.


    The team leaders immediately pulled a long face and asked everyone to shut up.


    Soon, the crowd quieted down and looked at the captains with anticipation.


    "Second Brother, speak," the leader of Team 1 said.


    "Ahem, I''m going to tell you some big news. Stand firm."


    The second-inmand kept them in suspense, but he received countless eye-rolls.


    "Let me tell you, the station chief said that the researcher who forged theser sword was the same person who forged the Invisibility Armor more than a month ago," the second captain said.


    It was as if a heavy bomb had been thrown, and everyone in the conference room was shocked.


    Other than the team leaders who had received the news in advance and were mentally prepared, the rest of the team members widened their eyes and revealed expressions of disbelief.


    "F*ck, Second Captain, you''re not joking, are you?"


    "Yeah, is there a mistake? Isn''t the person who made the Invisibility Armor from the fifth Research Department? How could he have developed such a powerful thing in such a short time?"


    "Do you two still doubt the station chief''s ability to get information? If the station chief says so, then it''s fact."


    "Good Lord, what kind of brain does that researcher have? He actually managed to create two pieces of heaven-defying equipment in half a year."


    "The fifth Research Department is so famous now. I''m so envious."<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    Everyone was very excited. They did not expect the designer to be in the fifth Research Department in the same city. They had to quickly build a good rtionship with him.


    In the future, if there was another piece of equipment that was developed, the members of the City Defense Army would be the first to use it.


    Since the big boss who recorded these two pieces of equipment is in Jingdu, we have to ask General Xia to get them for us!"


    "You''re right. He''s a major general. Even if the designer is very capable, he''ll have to give the station chief some face."


    After hearing the anticlimactic words of their team members, the captains were all stunned.


    Oh boy, the station chief was a god in their hearts, and they would usually address him respectfully.


    Now, however, after learning of the designer''s location, the station master had be a face-saving tool. He might not be able to calm down without taking a few pills after hearing this.


    Several team leaders began to call the station chief and ask him to meet the researcher who had designed the Invisibility Armor and theser sword within two days.


    Their attitude was firm, causing Xia Chengtian''s spirit to freeze.


    Although he attached great importance to this matter, the attitude of his team members made him feel that he was a team leader, and they were the station masters who gave orders.


    "Okay, I understand. I''ll go to the fifth Research Institute the day after tomorrow. Are you satisfied? "


    After dealing with the excited captains, Xia Cheng Tian immediately began to n for tomorrow''s operation.


    He knew that if he did not deal with this matter, the entire City Defense Station would be turned upside down by those guys.


    While Xia Chengtian was working on the procedures, Wu Mo was standing in the yard, watering a few nts at a steady pace in the fifth Research Department.


    The tender green grass swayed with the wind, and the pink flowers were also budding, revealing a somewhat fascinating appearance.


    Wu Mo had finished all of his work.


    They could enjoy their leisure time to their heart''s content.


    He already had a general idea and main structure for the technical paper on the Spirit Wave Sword. It would not be a problem toplete it within two days.


    So far, the Invisibility Armor was steadily being mass-produced, and its improvement had also been sessfullypleted.


    As long as he could make another technological breakthrough, he would be able to participate in the cksmith exchange meet at the end of the year.


    As for the final technological breakthrough, he had also gotten some inspiration from his conversation with Bald Eagle, but he had not been able to grasp it.


    It only existed in the depths of his mind.


    At noon the next day, Wu Mopleted 30% of the technical paper and simplified the obscure and difficult technologies so that most people could understand them.


    Just as he was about to go to the cafeteria to eat, his doorbell rang.


    Wu Mo was a little curious. There were no buildings around the vi he was living in. Other than the staff who woulde to deliver him materials, no one would visit.


    He was puzzled, so he immediately got up and went downstairs.


    When he reached the main entrance, he realized that the person who had just arrived was actually the chief designer who had been transferred from the military.


    The chief designer was the staff member in charge of the mass production of Wu Mo''sser sword.


    It had been a while ago when many leaders came to guide their work.


    The other party''s forging level had reached the six-star rank, but he had still been of no help in the creation of the Spirit Wave Sword.


    Recently, after cramming up on scientific knowledge and consulting Wu Mo several times, he was finally able to keep up with Wu Mo''s thinking and pace.

 Chapter 245 - 245 The City Defense Army’s Change in Attitude

    245 The City Defense Army¡¯s Change in Attitude


    ording to the military¡¯s arrangements, the chief designer had to stay in the fifth Research Department until the mass production of theser swords waspleted.


    The two of them had be friends because of their work.


    Even though they were almost 40 years apart, the chief designer never used his status as an elder to pressure him. Instead, they were like friends, often giving Wu Mo ideas and often shamelessly asking him.


    Wu Mo also had a good impression of this chief designer who was almost 60 years old.


    ¡°Old Wen, what brings you here today?¡±


    Wu Mo was a little surprised. He immediately went forward to open the courtyard door and then invited the other party into the hall.


    ¡°Hehe, I¡¯m a little worried. I want to see how you¡¯ve been improving the Spirit Wave Sword,¡± old Wen said with a smile.


    ¡°It¡¯s alreadypleted. The duration of the high-grade and mid-grade spirit wave sword has been strengthened. In future battles, the vacuum period of the spirit wave sword will also be greatly shortened.


    Wu mo poured a cup of tea for elder Wen as he spoke with confidence.


    ¡°Good, Yingluo, that¡¯s good.¡±


    old wen nodded. after knowing that wu mo had already improved the item, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief.


    The military headquarters had given the order to assist Wu mo in mass-producing the spirit wave sword. If there were any problems, the mass-production n would be dyed.


    In the end, they would all use him to question him.


    now that the improvement n had beenpleted, the subsequent mass production would be much smoother.


    More importantly, the station chief of the city defense station woulde to visit with many captains tomorrow, and Wu mo would be needed to attend and receive them.


    If it affected the improvement of the spirit wave sword, it would definitely not be good.


    Now that everything was over, he didn¡¯t need to worry about anything.


    Wu mo sat on the sofa and saw that the designer, old Wen, seemed to be relieved of a burden, as if he was hiding something from him.


    He immediately asked, ¡± elder Wen, what happened? ¡±


    ¡°Er, ran ran is actually fine.¡±


    Old Wen was touched by Wu Mo¡¯s concern.


    Not only was Wu mo capable, but he was also an upright person who knew how to care for others. He was simply much better than the students he taught in the military department.


    ¡°It¡¯s just that there¡¯s something that I think I should tell you.¡±


    Wu mo sat up straight and said calmly when he saw that elder Wen was hesitating to speak.


    ¡°Old Wen, why don¡¯t you tell me about it?¡±


    old wen nodded. after drinking a cup of hot tea, he immediately smiled and said.


    ¡± yesterday afternoon, the city defense station sent someone to contact me and director xu. they said that tomorrow, the stationmander will personallye to visit with more than a dozen core personnel, and you will be needed to receive them. ¡±


    ah, ran ran, that¡¯s nothing. It¡¯s a good thing. But why do you find it funny, old Wen? ¡±


    Wu mo was a little suspicious, thinking that old Wen definitely knew more than this.


    hahaha, you don¡¯t know this, but the people in the city defense Force have always been very bureaucratic. They manage the city¡¯s security, but because they have some power in their hands, they look down on people from other organizations. This old man has a deep understanding of this.


    the reason why I found it funny was because when this group of people found out that the forger who researched the spirit wave sword was from the Research Institute, their attitudes suddenly took a 180-degree turn. All of them tried to get closer to their friends and lowered their status a lot.


    At this point, old Wen smiled and shook his head, ¡± ¡± you don¡¯t know this, but after those guys found out about the power of the spirit wave sword, they were all very excited. their attitudes were unprecedentedly positive. even the station chief personally called and said that he wanted to make a reservation as soon as possible. ¡±


    hearing old wen¡¯s words, wu mo understood a little, but he still felt a little strange. didn¡¯t the head captain of the city defense armye to guide the work a few days ago?


    At that time, he had clearly rehearsed it himself, and he had not seen much movement from the city defense Army.


    Why were they so enthusiastic now?


    ¡°Elder Wen, did something happen these past few days? Why did the city defense Army suddenly be so active?¡±


    ¡°Actually, the main reason why the city defense Army is so friendly is because of the bald eagle.¡± Old Wen sighed and slowed down his speech. after the bald eagle left the Research Institute yesterday, it ran into a group of terrorists. More than a dozen terrorists drove an engineering vehicle and forced the bald eagle into a corner.


    it was an emergency and the bald eagle only had time to bring the box you gave him out of the car. However, as the leader of the robbers was a mid-six-star and the bald eagle was injured, he was caught.


    ter, the bald eagle fought with the leader of the other party, Wang Hu, and won by a narrow margin. However, Wang Hu couldn¡¯t take it anymore and ordered his men to shoot. At this time, the bald eagle identally touched the button of the spirit wave sword and activated the highest level of heat wave frequency. Just like that, the bald eagle relied on the beam saber to escape danger.


    ¡°And he arrested more than ten criminals all by himself.¡±


    at this point, old wen looked at wu mo.


    Wu mo, I have to say that the spirit wave sword you forged is the most unique piece of equipment I¡¯ve ever seen since I entered the industry. Its wide range of application is also unprecedented.


    Hearing old Wen¡¯s serious praise, Wu mo felt a little embarrassed.


    old Wen, don¡¯t praise me anymore. No matter what, I¡¯m just an ordinary designer who has just entered the five-star realm. You¡¯re a six-Star Master cksmith and a core figure in the military.


    Wu mo did the exact opposite and began to praise elder Wen.


    This made thetter¡¯s eyes widen. what master cksmith? in therge-scale battle area, 6-star cksmiths are asmon as the hair on a cow. Only when one reaches 7-star can one be considered to have reached a higher level in the field of cksmithing.


    okay, I¡¯ll stop talking. I have to arrange the reception work tomorrow in advance. You can continue with your work.


    Old Wen waved his hand and got up to leave.


    Wu mo sent him to the door and only returned to the living room after old Wen¡¯s figure disappeared.


    Lying on the sofa, Wu mo looked at a painting hanging on the wall in a daze.


    The fact that the bald eagle was able to leave the capital safe and sound was enough to prove that his spirit wave sword had been very sessful.


    In fact, Wu mo also felt that it was natural for him to be able to turn danger into safety.


    If the other party was willing to try it at the beginning and knew the effects of the spirit wave sword in advance, the result would definitely be even more dramatic.


    Just imagine, when the white-headed Eagle was sitting in the military vehicle and discovered the engineering vehicle in advance, he could have turned on the heat wave mode and cut the engineering vehicle in half before the other party even started attacking.


    Even if they were forced into a cornerter on, they could strike first and not let those criminals be arrogant for a long time.


    Thinking of this, Wu mo couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    With the spirit wave sword, he felt that the saying ¡± no matter how skilled you are, you¡¯re still afraid of a vegetable knife ¡± would work even in a world with the recovery of spiritual energy.

 Chapter 246 Xia Chengtian, The Major General

    After resting for a while, Wu Mo immediately got up and walked to the cafeteria.


    It was already one o''clock in the afternoon, an hourter than his usual eating time.


    Speaking of which, during this period of time in the Research Department, he had gained a few pounds of weight. Moreover, due to his regr work and rest schedule, his skin, condition, and energy had all improved.


    Compared with when he was in the academy, his current temperament was also slightly different.


    He seemed to be developing into a good-looking boy.


    After the meal, Wu Mo went back to writing his thesis. He would be able to finish it by tomorrow.


    As for his new idea, he was not done developing it yet. It was just an idea.


    Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the next morning.


    Wu mo woke up at around seven o ''clock. He was full of energy. His thesis was more than half done, so he continued to work.


    At around ten o''clock, only the finishing touches were left.


    The entire paper was thousands of words long, and he gave a rough analysis of the technology mentioned in it. As long as it was an orthodox scientific researcher, he or she would definitely understand.


    At this moment, a phone rang. It was old Mr. Wen.


    On the phone, old Wen only said that an important person wasing, but Wu Mo knew that the personing to see him was definitely the City Defense Army''s major general.


    The man whose rank was slightly higher than that of the Hunter Bureau''s director.


    After receiving the news, Wu Mo immediately went downstairs and headed to the researcher''s main entrance.


    At this moment, many senior researchers had already arrived at the open space in front of the cultural square.


    When they found out that the station chief wanted to see Wu Mo, their expressions did not change much. They had basically grown numb to it.


    Professor Liu, on the other hand, was overjoyed.


    Recently, the fifth Research Department''s reputation had been shocking.


    Compared with other simr establishments, it was more important and had a tendency to surpass the major research institutes.


    At this moment, Academician Xu and the chief designer, old Wen, were already at the cultural square, but Wu Wo had not arrived.


    From a distance, he saw a row of city guards in military green uniforms standing in front of Academician Xu.


    Each of the city guards stood straight, and the spirit energy fluctuations in their bodies were strong. They were seemingly of the six-star rank.


    The middle-aged man in the lead was the major general of the City Defense Army, Xia Chengtian. He was about 40 years old and had a chiseled face. There was a heroic spirit in his eyes, and his every movement carried an extraordinary aura.


    Wu Mo subconsciously nced at the epaulet on his uniform. Good Lord.


    A major general!


    ording to the rules of the military, one had to salute when meeting a higher-ranking leader.


    Wu Mo stepped forward and subconsciously tried to bow.


    The core members of the City Defense Army were standing in a row behind the station chief, right then, Wu Mo actually saw them bow to him.


    They were captains in the City Defense Army. Including the interrogation captain, there were a total of 13 people.


    Usually, the captains of the City Defense Army were ruthless characters in the station. Even if they visited other organizations, they usually had an antagonistic attitude.


    In their eyes, physical strength was the real fist. The cksmiths and researchers were just supporting them.


    However, the Spirit Wave Sword, which appeared out of nowhere, hadpletely shattered the famous saying that they regarded as a guide.


    Even a child could easily kill a five-star or even a six-star cksmith after understanding how to use the Spirit Wave Sword.


    Therefore, they put aside their pride and sincerely admired Wu Mo.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    Moreover, after seeing him today and learning that the master who had forged the Invisibility Armor and the Spirit Wave Sword was only a young man in his early 20s...


    Their hearts were in a state of shock.


    Professor Liu and Professor Tan raised their eyebrows in surprise.


    However, it was not over yet. The captains who had bowed all took a deep breath and shouted in unison, "We represent all of the City Defense Army''s members! Thank you, Mr. Wu, for helping us develop new weapons day and night!"


    The voices of the dozen people almost shook the world.


    Seeing such a situation, everyone could not help but sigh.


    After the ceremony was over, the station chief immediately walked over to Wu Mo with a smile.


    Thetter''s face was beaming with joy, and he looked at Wu Mo as if he was family.


    "Station Chief, thank you foring to the fifth Research Department¡ª"


    Wu Mo wanted to learn from Academician Xu and say a few official words.


    However, the moment he spoke, he was interrupted by the station chief, Xia Chengtian.


    "Ah, we''re all friends. There''s no need to thank me. Have you beenfortable in the Research Department, Mr. Wu? Would you like to take a look at our City Defense Station? If you''re free, I can arrange it at any time."


    Xia Chengtian''s attitude was unprecedentedly warm as he pulled Wu Mo''s hand and began to chat with him.


    Those who did not know better would think that they were two neighbors chatting.


    "Um, the living conditions in the Research Department are great. There''s no need for you to arrange anything, Station Chief."


    "Oh... that''s good. Actually, our station isn''t far from the Research Department. You cane often in the future. Our third captain''s culinary skills are excellent. He knows how to make ssic cuisines from major cities. If you miss home, you cane to our ce. I''ll get the third captain to cook for you. I guarantee that it will taste like your mom''s food."


    The station chief did not wait for Wu Mo to finish and closed the distance between them again as if they were a family.


    Wu Mo was also rendered speechless by what he said.


    The people around them could not help but twitch their lips when they saw this.


    The neighboring province had all heard what the station chief was nning.


    His attitude was too obvious.


    They had thought that the station chief would be very cold and unwilling to talk.


    However, they did not expect the station chief''s attitude toward a researcher to be so outrageous.


    Old Wen, the chief designer, could not help but frown when he noticed that the captains behind him could not hold their feelings in any longer.


    What the hell was this? The station chief was a major general after all. With his attitude, those who did not know would think that Wu Mo was the station chief instead.


    He had ulterior motives.


    Old Wen was a little speechless. The station chief''s series of actions were too deliberate.


    First, the captains bowed and said that Wu Mo had worked hard to develop new weapons for them.


    The first move was to put abel on Wu Mo. Then, they tried to form a close rtionship with him. After that, they would make a presumptuous request, asking Wu Mo to give the Spirit Wave Sword to City Defense Army first once it was mass-produced.


    In fact, Wu Mo himself had already realized this.


    He felt helpless in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface and chatted with the major general with an indifferent expression.


    "Thank you for your concern, Station Chief. The Spirit Wave Sword is still in the early stages of mass production, and only one prototype has beenpleted.


    "If the subsequent mass production is sessful, it will still depend on the leaders'' arrangements and the coordination between the various departments.


    "Nevertheless, I will immediately apply to the higher-ups. If it is sessful, the first line of the City Defense Army will be given priority for equipment."

 Chapter 247 Molding Instrument Upgrade

    Wu Mo did not break any rules with that answer, and it also cated the station chief. One could say that his emotional intelligence was full.


    Xia Chengtian, the stationmander, was also smiling from ear to ear.


    "Good, with Mr. Wu''s words, I can rest assured."


    He nodded and said with a happy face, "If you need anything in the future, please contact us immediately. Jingdu''s City Defense Army will always be your backup!"


    Wu Mo was a little embarrassed. He did not do anything, only said a few beautiful words, but the station chief was so sincere.


    Not only did he not use his status as a major general to pressure him, but he also discussed the matter with him as if they were friends.


    "Alright, then I won''t disturb you any longer. If you have the chance, you can visit the City Defense Station often to y."


    The station chief cupped his hands at the crowd, and the researchers immediately sent him off warmly.


    After the station master left, Wu Mo and Academician Xu chatted for a while. Currently, the production of the stealth suit was progressing steadily, and a small batch had already been shipped to major organizations for pilot testing.


    Wu Mo was excited after receiving the news.


    Once upon a time, he had fantasized that the equipment he forged would one day be used by those in the major troops. Now that his wish had been fulfilled, he felt a sense of aplishment in his heart.


    Striking while the iron was hot, Wu Mo jogged all the way back to the vi and began to write the conclusion of his thesis.


    In the afternoon, he finished everything and sent it to Academician Xu for his opinion.


    When he went downstairs to rest, he received a message from Academician Xu.


    He said that after the Spirit Wave Sword was mass-produced, he would report his thesis and rted contributions. At that time, Wu Mo would not be short of rewards and military titles.


    On top of that, this project was named to meet the requirements for a technological breakthrough. So far, there was only one condition left to fulfill before he could participate in the Nine Provinces'' cksmith exchange.


    To participate in the Annual Exchange Conference, one needed to bring thetest research results gained from three kinds of weapons. Wu Mo''s Invisibility Armor and Spirit Wave Sword were alreadyplete, and he only needed to make another technological breakthrough in the future.


    The quota for the exchange conference would be easily fulfilled.


    "Wu Mo, you''re a big shot in the capital city now. Thanks to you, our Research Department''s reputation has improved greatly," Xu Wuyue said half-jokingly.


    Wu Mo''s face turned red.


    "Academician Xu, please don''t praise me anymore. I''m really going to get carried away."


    "Haha, okay then, I won''t say anything more. But we''re going to have a monthly meeting tomorrow. You''ve always been busy before, but after this project is over, you have to attend."


    "Um, okay. See you tomorrow."


    Wu Mo hung up the phone and heaved a sigh of relief.


    It was really true that fame had its price. He had only forged two pieces of equipment at the moment, but he had attracted the attention of all the major leaders in Jingdu. He was a little unustomed to it.


    After closing the door, Wu Mo returned to his bedroom.


    He gradually calmed down as he sat by the small desk.


    Before he realized it, he had been a researcher for almost half a year.


    Throughout this time, he had met a lot of people and improved a lot of his abilities. Even his points had increased by more than 70,000. It was a great harvest.


    However, he could not forget his basic knowledge while improving quickly. He could only climb higher mountains by trampling each level.


    Thinking of this, Wu Mo suddenly wanted to see what else could be upgraded in the forging space.


    It felt like a waste not to use the several hundred thousand points he had.


    Wu Mo took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.


    Soon, his five senses were cut off, and he was immersed in an endless night.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    When he opened his eyes again, he was in a state of excitement.


    He went to the work desk and summoned the system panel in his mind.


    After a rough nce, he noticed that the workbench and the furnace had been upgraded once. Only the molds, the enhancing table, and some small machines had not been upgraded.


    When he opened the workstation management page, he saw that the molding machine was still at the normal level, and he had already met the upgrade requirements.


    Wu Mo remembered that before he forged the Spirit Wave Sword, there had been no upgrade button for the molding equipment. It seemed that after forging the Spirit Wave Sword, his strength had increased a little.


    Without any hesitation, he immediately chanted the word "upgrade" in his mind. The next moment, the molding equipment ced next to the furnace was immediately enveloped by purple light, leaving only the most basic outline visible.


    [The Regr-grade molding equipment is being upgraded. It will take about two minutes and 100 general points will be used. ]


    In his boredom, Wu Mo began to shop in the points store.


    He now had more than 290,000 points. If converted to yuan, it would be more than £¤9,000,000.


    Many materials and equipment could be purchased even in the store.


    Even a more effective Epic weapon would only cost less than 100,000 points. A Legendary weapon would cost more than 300,000 points, which Wu Mo could not afford at the moment.


    However, he had no need for weapons. In his current life, he did not need to fight at all. Until now, he only needed to use Mjolnir for forging. He did not have the opportunity to use it on normal days.


    It was strange that since he participated in the graduation project, Mjolnir''s effect of improving equipment quality had note up again.


    It was not just bad luck; there was another reason.


    The only time he seeded was when he helped Mengyao forge the two swords.


    While mumbling in his heart, Wu Mo continued to flip through the page of the materials column.


    There were many things that he could not use at all, which meant that even if he wanted to spend points now, he had nothing to spend them on.


    [Molding device has been sessfully upgraded. Its attributes are as follows:


    [Rare molding apparatus.


    [Precision Error: 0.5 cm


    [Effects: 1. Adaptive (Automatically makes rough adjustments to parameters that cannot be operated.)


    [2. Precision (The probability of adhesion and car lines is reduced by 10%.)


    [Unique Effect: Backtrack (Unlimited usage. Equipment forged in the chaotic space can be restored to its state before failure.)


    [Next Upgrade: 1,000 general points.


    [Upgrade Condition: Six-star forging ]


    Wu Mo was satisfied with the molding instrument''s data.


    The higher the quality of the equipment in the forging space, the higher the sess rate of the subsequent casting of high-quality equipment.


    To Wu Mo, this was a pretty good buff.


    After confirming that there was no other equipment that could be upgraded, he immediately left the forging space.


    His consciousness returned to his bedroom.


    He looked at theputer screen, which showed that his message had been sent.


    Wu Mo had a sudden impulse to search for the current masters in the Nine Provinces.


    He could still vaguely remember the first time he came to this parallel world. The television in his dormitory room was broadcasting the news of a seven-star cksmith forging a Divine weapon.

 Chapter 248 The Situation In The Nine Provinces

    Later on, when he was forging Mjolnir, he also learned that a certain powerful cultivator had ascended to the upper realm.


    Speaking of which, the sess of Thor''s hammer was all thanks to the Heavenly Lightning attracted by this big shot.


    Thinking of this, he immediately started searching.


    Seven-star cultivators and master cksmiths were often the core figures of a country. They were equivalent to lifelines.


    If one of the country''s core members died, it would inevitably lead to a decline in the country''s strength.


    Therefore, experts of this type often only had one name on the Inte, and even their photos were not avable.


    However, Wu Mo was still happily searching for it. At the same time, he was also fascinated by history after the recuperation of spirit energy.


    This period of history had been recorded in detail on the Inte. Wu Mo read it with great enthusiasm and gradually understood the current situation and the Nine Provinces'' geographical information.


    As the name suggested, the Nine Provinces, where he came from, was a territorial division formed by ninerge regions.


    It was governed by a loose federal system, and each state was rtively independent. They would only work closely together during wartime or special circumstances.


    The major events in the Nine Provinces were usually decided by the federalmander.


    The state affairs, big and small, would be managed by the governor, while the base cities or prefecture-level cities would be managed by the mayor.


    The system was strict, and there waspetition and cooperation between the states, but they were mostly independent and peaceful.


    For example, Wu Mo was from the White River province, which was rtively backward in terms of economy and construction.


    Inparison, the strongest Red Heart province upied arger area and also had more powerful technology and talents.


    If thend area of the Nine Provinces werebined, it would be at least twice the size of the Luo Kingdom!


    From the whole country to the Nine Provinces, the 100 years of historical changes made Wu Mo feel emotional.


    He closed hisputer and got up to leave.


    He was prepared to go to other ces to rx.


    He had been a researcher for a long time, and there were still many ces he had yet to go.


    Taking advantage of the fact that it was not yet winter, he went out shopping.


    He traveled light and visited the fake mountains, pavilions, flowerbeds, and haystacks in the researchers'' residence. He watched birds fly in the park and fish stretch their small mouths by the riverbank, opening and closing them on the water''s surface.


    The autumn wind blew, causing the green leaves of the wild rice to sway left and right, while the red sun in the evening made the river water shimmer.


    He was rxed, and he felt like he had been reborn.


    He was full of praise for the beautiful scenery in front of him.


    Seeing that the sky was getting dark and his stomach was a little empty, Wu Mo immediately got up and patted the grass and leaves off his body. He then rushed toward the cafeteria with light steps.


    He hurried there with a growling stomach, just in time to meet the crowd.


    However, there were several cafeterias for the researchers. Even during peak hours, they would not be as lively as a school cafeteria.


    Wu Mo ordered a few vorful dishes before he sat down in a corner of the cafeteria and waited quietly.


    During this time, he noticed that many people were looking at him. However, their eyes were filled with envy. They were extremely respectful toward this genius who had only been in the capital for half a year.


    Not long after, Wu Mo''s dinner was served. He picked up his chopsticks and immersed himself in the food.


    The warmth of food soothed the heart.


    Wu Mo had a great meal. When he returned to the vi, he took out his phone and looked at the time. It was already six in the evening.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    At this moment, he noticed a small red dot on the upper right corner of the National Artifact Research Department app on his phone. It seemed that someone had sent him a message.


    Wu Mo opened it curiously. Then he noticed that the dagger project team had been disbanded and transferred to another experimental team.


    This integration was mainly toplement the n of mass-producing the Spirit Wave Sword since mass forging required many new instruments.


    The military did not have these instruments, so they could only form a new research room and make changes to the current instruments to achieve the function of mass production.


    Wu Mo noticed that there were more than a dozen people in the group, and most of them had work experience.


    Compared with the assault team and the original dagger project team, they were much stronger.


    They were all five-star cksmiths and were the backbone of the Research Department.


    After seeing that the officials had already formed a team, Wu Mo was relieved. With these five-star cksmiths and the chief designer, old Wen, around, things would definitely be done quickly!


    Wu Mo had basically released all the pressure in his heart that afternoon, and the quality of his sleep at night was surprisingly good.


    Before 10 o''clock, he took a shower and went to bed.


    He slept all the way until six in the morning the next day.


    When Wu Mo woke up, he felt that it was a little early, so he decided to go on a morning run.


    His current physical fitness was not bad, but standing for 10 hours in a row was still extremely exhausting. Although forging required brain power most of the time, physical fitness was also important, and he could not easily fall behind.


    In thete autumn morning, Wu Mo was running around the asphalt road in his sportswear. It did not take long for his forehead to be covered with a thinyer of sweat.


    After half an hour of exercise, his whole body feltfortable, and his steps gradually became faster.


    As he ran, he wondered if he should visit the research team today.


    As the forger of the Spirit Wave Sword, it would be inexcusable if he did not participate in the research and development work in the early stages of mass production.


    After making up his mind, Wu Mo turned around and ran back.


    After getting home and changing his clothes, Wu Mo had breakfast and got ready to attend the fifth Research Department''s monthly meeting.


    Academician Xu had especially reminded him over the phone, and Wu mo would not forget.


    He nned to visit the research team after the meeting.


    Soon, Wu Mo arrived at the building where the monthly meeting was held.


    The moment he reached the bottom of the stairs, Wu Mo saw Academician Xu, who was chatting with the chief designer, old Wen.


    The two of them saw Wu Mo in the distance and immediately waved to him when he walked in.


    "Good morning, Old Wen, Academician Xu."


    Wu Mo hurried over and went upstairs with the two of them.


    "Hehe, I had a feeling you''de early. I didn''t think I''d be right."


    Academician Xu chuckled as he looked at Wu Mo with a gentle expression.


    Lately, the fifth Research Department had benefited from Wu Mo''s help, and they had been coborating with him more often.


    In recent times, their coborations with the major families in the capital city had significantly decreased. However, after Wu Mo forged two magical pieces of equipment, those guys who thought they were high and mighty had now be bootlickers.


    The three of them walked into the elevator together. They talked andughed all the way until they entered the meeting room.


    At this moment, Wu Mo noticed that many people had already arrived.

 Chapter 249 - 249 Monthly Meeting

    249 Monthly Meeting


    Among them were Professor Liu and Professor Tan, as well as several core personnel of the fifth Research Department.


    The monthly core meeting, which involved 10 people, began.


    Everyone took their seats, and Wu Mo was arranged to sit next to Academician Xu.


    When the others saw that Wu Mo was participating as well, they were a little curious.


    Several of the core members there had actually not seen Wu Mo many times, but thetter¡¯s reputation had been extremely pervasive in the past few months. Even if they did not know him, they were familiar with his name.


    However, no one expressed any dissatisfaction with Wu Mo sitting next to Academician Xu.


    At first, they only cast curious looks at Wu Mo, but soon they began to busy themselves with their own affairs.


    Wu Mo looked a little reserved as he sat in the chair.


    Old Wen immediately handed him a booklet rted to the meeting.


    ¡°Take a look at this, don¡¯t be nervous,¡± old Wen said in a low voice. Wu Mo immediately nodded and lowered his head to read it.


    Soon, Xu Wuyue began to exin the central purpose of the monthly meeting and the matters that needed to be settled.


    Several core members spoke one after another, giving Wu Mo a deeper understanding of the Research Department.


    About 10 minutester, many things had been resolved.


    Then, Xu Wuyue changed the subject and began to talk about the current research progress on materials for Divine weapons in the Nine Provinces, as well as the gap between White River and other regions.


    At this time, the materials in everyone¡¯s hands were useful.


    Although there waspetition between the provinces, both in the open and in the dark, the governors were still delighted to share the basic parameters of high-quality products in their provinces with other provinces.


    The materials in the hands of those in the meeting room covered the representative works of all provinces.


    The basic parameters only covered the advantages and disadvantages of the equipment. Other core data could not be analyzed through such few words.


    Therefore, there was no need to worry about the core technology being leaked.


    Wu Mo flipped through the information in his hand. After seeing the representative works of other provinces in recent years, he could not help but fall into deep thought.


    At present, the Red Heart region in the Nine Provinces was the most developed one. Its vicinity was rich in resources, and it had convenient transportation as well as talented people. It was also the dream city of many cksmiths.


    The White River province, on the other hand, was a little more remote. It was surrounded by two small battlefields and onerge battlefield.


    The White River province had been invaded by thousands of races all year round, causing its development to fall behind.


    ¡°What do you think, Wu Mo? How big do you think the gap between our White River province and the Red Heart province is?¡±


    After a few minutes of silence in the conference room, Academician Xu immediately posed the question to Wu Mo, who was sitting closest to him.


    Wu Mo frowned and quickly examined the situation. ¡°Academician Xu, I¡¯ve analyzed the problem you mentioned. I feel that if we exclude the Invisibility Armor and the Spirit Wave Sword, there¡¯s still a gap of at least 30 years between our development of Divine weapon technology,¡± he said with certainty.


    After Wu Mo put forward his point of view, he immediately began to analyze the geographical characteristics and resource distribution between the two states. Hepared the differences and problems between them, finally proving his conjecture.


    When the others heard Wu Mo¡¯s analysis and logic, they all nodded in agreement. They felt that what Wu Mo said made sense. His data on the 30-year gap had been obtained without any personal bias. It was very fair.


    The two professors looked at the materials in their hands, and their hearts sank. Although what Wu Mo said was not without reason, there was too little reference material. This was not enough to depict the actual situation.


    The chief designer, old Wen, who was sitting beside Xu Wuyue, was also deep in thought.


    Just when everyone thought that Wu Mo had finished speaking, he suddenly changed the subject and said with a smile, ¡°But I¡¯m talking about the past. At present, the gap might be 50 years.


    Wu Mo¡¯s wordspletely stunned everyone on the spot. Even Academician Xu, who was sitting in the main seat, was stunned.


    ¡°Why do you say that?¡± he asked subconsciously.


    Wu Mo waved his hand and confidently said, ¡°Now, the White River province has the Invisibility Armor and Spirit Wave Sword that I¡¯ve designed. It¡¯s the Red Heart province that is 50 years behind us in terms of Divine-weapon-forging technology!¡±


    The crowd did not react for a moment, but Xu Wuyue immediately understood what thetter meant andughed.


    He looked at Wu Mo¡¯s confident face and nodded in agreement.


    Xu Wuyue felt that it was a good thing that Wu mo was confident.


    Given thetter¡¯s humble character, the fact that he could say such words in such a situation meant that he had absolute confidence in his forging ability.


    This was a good thing for the fifth Research Institute and even the White River continent.


    ¡°Hmm, good analysis.¡±


    He looked at Wu Mo with admiration and gestured for thetter to sit down.


    Then, he took out a remote control pen from his pocket and immediately turned on the projector on the table.


    Then, a ray of light shot out of the camera and projected the entire picture on the white screen.


    Everyone turned their heads and Xu Wuyue said, ¡°I¡¯ve just received news that the Materials Engineering Department in the Red Heart province has recently developed a new type of standard armor. This armor is made of a light material and has a solid defense. It can block bullets from rifles and pistols, and it can also greatly increase movement speed. You should all watch the video to understand more.¡±


    After he finished speaking, he immediately pressed down on the control pen, and the next moment, there was an image on the side wall¡¯s light screen.


    It was a video taken by video cameras in the Red Heart province¡¯s war zone. In the video, several cultivators were wearing a set of strange equipment.


    The first was a helmet that covered the head.


    The helmet was a little strange. The mask could be pulled down, and there was a headlight embedded in the forehead area. The mask also disyed the surrounding temperature and wind data.


    A cultivator was holding a shield that was half the size of a person¡¯s body. The shield was silver, and it hadplicated patterns drawn on its surface.


    In his right hand, there was a weapon that resembled arge de. Its handle was long and narrow, but there was no de at the bottom. Instead, a circle of high-temperature mes sprayed out from the hole, forming the shape of a de.


    Finally, there were the shoes on their feet. Not only were they wrapped in metal, but there was something spraying out below them as well. It seemed to allow the wearer to float.


    This entire set of equipment was the Red Heart province¡¯s core Divine weapon. It could increase the cultivators¡¯ attack, defense, and movement speed in all aspects.


    The ion me it released reached about 2,000 degrees, and it was extremely fast.


    After the person in the footage introduced the product, the screen instantly jumped to opennd.


    It looked like a small-scale rift recovery operation. Several hundred monsters of different strengths were squeezing out of the rift.


    The cultivator immediately activated the new type of armor he was wearing when he saw the vicious beasts appear.


    In a sh, a scarlet de of me shot out from the hole in his saber¡¯s long handle.


    Then, the propelling shoes on his feet were swiftly activated, sending the 140-pound cultivator into the sky!

 Chapter 250 The Red Heart Provinces Cutting-Edge Technology

    The cultivator wearing the kic armor hovered about three meters above the ground. Therge de in his right hand was constantly shooting out ion mes, while the silver half-body shield in his left hand was glowing.


    Under the sunlight, the cultivator resembled a grim reaper. He charged directly at the spatial crack on the battlefield.


    Everyone in the meeting room could not help but break out in cold sweat as they looked at the hundreds of ferocious beasts in the distance.


    There was nock of Rank 6 beasts among them, and there were also many huge beasts that were nearly four meters tall.


    If they charged in directly, it would be very hard for them to escape unscathed unless they were seven-star cultivators!


    However, the cultivator wearing the armor continued to charge forward, diving down and shing at the closest Green Luan Vulture.


    The beast pped its wings and protected its entire body with its shining metal wings.


    However, the fiery-red ion mes instantly cut off more than half of the eagle''s wings. Even the Green Luan Vulture''s neck, which was as thick as its thigh, was sliced off.


    Its dark red blood did not even have a chance to spurt out from the wound before the scorching ion me burned it. Even the bowl-sized wound on the beast''s neck was cauterized.


    The cultivator wearing the armor did not stop after killing the Rank 5 Green Luan Vulture. He immediately moved on to the next beast.


    On the battlefield, he flew in the air alone, like a butterfly dancing on the tip of a de.


    As long as the ferocious beast he faced was lower than Rank 6, their battle woulde to a swift end.


    Not long after, the hundred or so beasts, including four Rank 6 monsters, werepletely annihted by the armored cultivator!


    The efficiency with which he killed the berserk beasts left the members in the meeting room speechless.


    Soon, the scene on the screen dimmed until itpletely disappeared.


    Everyone exchanged looks, and their hearts were stirred by the armor.


    First of all, the footage depicted several good points.


    For example, its effects couldst for a long time. It enabled the cultivator to kill hundreds of beasts at once, and its energy was extremely stable. There should be no problem fighting for a few hours with it.


    The lightness of the de was also extremely important. The ming de was about two meters long, but it performed so well that it must have been made of light materials.


    The same was true for the silver shield. Despite holding it for a long time, the cultivator did not feel tired at all.


    The most vital part, however, was speed. The footage showed that the cultivator''s speed was no different from a normal car, reaching a speed of more than 60 kilometers per hour.


    This also greatly solved any issues of the equipment being heavy.


    Above all, it demonstrated its efficiency in killing the rampaging beasts. The several hundred beasts of different strengths were all killed in less than 20 minutes. In this aspect, it surpassed the vast majority of equipment on the market!


    Just from this point, one could tell that the current development of Divine weapon technology in the Red Heart province had already reached the most advanced stage.


    The others felt that this suit of armor had the same effects as the Spirit Wave Sword.


    It also used technology and spiritual power. For example, the shoes that the cultivator wore had the function of an ejector, which was the embodiment of modern technology.


    However, the suit of armor consumed a lot of energy on the move. It probably utilized some kind of ore that was full of energy.


    "Huh? Why do I find the designer, who developed the armor in the footage, a little familiar?"


    As the crowd recollected their thoughts, one of them thought of something and immediately voiced it out.


    As soon as he spoke, Wu Mo immediately recalled the previous scene.


    After going through it in his mind, he suddenly appeared surprised.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    "Chu Qingyan..."


    He recalled his previous memories and immediately uttered a somewhat familiar name.


    That''s right, he was very sure that the designer standing on the left in the introduction was one of his previous partners. They had been in the same group to improve the ninth-generation standardbat suit a few months ago.


    At that time, there were a total of five team members, including him. They had formed an assault team and participated in the development of armor together. The Invisibility Armor had been developed in thatrge environment.


    Right now, he still remembered the other four people from that time, namely Feng Qi, Lai Hua, Zhang Yuan, and Chu Qingyan.


    In their tests, he had the highest score, followed by Chu Qingyan. Zhang Yuan, on the other hand, could not evenplete the test because he did not meet one of the attributes'' standards.


    Thinking of this, Wu Mo suddenly grew suspicious.


    A few months ago, Chu Qingyan was still a young researcher at the fifth Research Department. How did he abruptly be a designer for the Red Heart province?


    His mind was filled with questions. At this moment, everyone else realized the problem too. They all looked at Professor Tan, who was sitting next to Professor Liu.


    If everyone''s memory was correct, Chu Qingyan should have been Professor Tan''sst student.


    "Um... Two months ago, Chu Qingyan terminated our mentor-mentee rtionship and left the Research Department on his own. I didn''t know about this at all."


    Professor Tan looked a little embarrassed. Although the matter had nothing to do with him, Chu Qingyan had been his apprentice for nearly a year.


    Now that Chu Qingyan had be a talent of the Red Heart province and even developed such a powerful battle armor, he, who had once been a master, had lost face.


    Seeing the awkward atmosphere in the meeting room, Xu Wuyue immediately cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, there''s no need to care too much about such a thing. Everyone has their own aspirations. Since the boy feels that the Red Heart region is more beneficial for his development, then let him be.


    "In any case, he is still loyal to our Nine Provinces territory. As an elder of the Research Department, Professor Tan certainly wouldn''t have wanted such a thing to happen. Let''s just put this matter behind us."


    When Academician Xu spoke, everyone immediately collected themselves.


    Wu Mo lowered his head in deep thought.


    ording to Professor Tan, Chu Qingyan left two months ago.


    It was the day of the test and delivery of the improved battle armor.


    Not only were Academician Xu and Professor Liu present, but Minister Wei was there too. They witnessed everything together.


    Perhaps it was because he did not get the chance to continue advancing, so Chu Qingyan chose to leave.


    With that thought, Wu Mo could not help but feel a trace of anger.


    If he had left just like that, he would have thrown away the time and resources that the Research Department had invested in him as well as not lived up to Professor Tan''s cultivation.


    He was a cold-blooded and heartless person.


    "Wu Mo, what do you think of the effects of the Red Heart province''s battle armor?"


    Xu Wuyue looked at Wu Mo when he saw that no one was talking.


    "To answer your question, Academician Xu, ording to the previous disy, I have to say that the recent armor developed by the Red Heart province is indeed excellent, and the designer who developed the armor is also very creative. Even if we disregard our position, I''d still acknowledge his strength."


    Wu Mo''s words came from the bottom of his heart.


    Although he did not know what Chu Qingyan had experienced in the past two months, he knew that Chu Qingyan was many times stronger than before.

 Chapter 251 Chu Qingyan And The Battle Results That Cant Stand Up To Scrutiny!

    In terms of improvement speed, even Wu Mo could notpare.


    Xu Wuyue, who was sitting in the main seat, could not help but worry after hearing Wu Mo''s words.


    Chu Qingyan''s previous strength could only be considered average.


    However, after entering the Red Heart region, his forging skills had undergone a tremendous change.


    He was worried that Chu Qingyan, who used to be Wu Mo''s senior, might now have better skills than Wu Mo.


    If that were the case, it would be even more impossible for the White River province to surpass him.


    Wu Mo noticed the worry on Academician Xu''s face and immediatelyforted him. "Don''t worry, Academician Xu. Even if he can forge a piece of armor, it couldn''t possibly be more valuable than the Spirit Wave Sword that I''ve forged."


    Academician Xu nodded slightly and felt a little relieved. However, he was still a little worried that the guy would be lucky enough to advance to the six-star rank before Wu Mo.


    Xu Wuyue shook his head. He forced himself to get rid of these messy thoughts and continued.


    "Not only has Chu Qingyan developed the all-in-one armor, but he has alsopleted two other technological breakthroughs in a short period of time. He even got a brigadier general to write him a letter of rmendation.


    "At present, he has already sent out an application to participate in the Nine Provinces'' Annual Exchange Conference for cksmiths. I''m afraid it won''t be long before he obtains the qualifications."


    The rest of the people present frowned when they heard this.


    Even the two professors at the side felt that the development of the matter was rather strange.


    The two professors were incredibly clear about Chu Qingyan''s level.


    He would only be considered a genius inparison to ordinary people.


    However,pared with the elites, he could only do so much.


    He did not have three heads and six arms. How could he possibly forge a one-piece armor and develop two other technological breakthroughs in two months?


    Even a genius like Wu Mo had spent nearly five monthspleting two technological breakthroughs.


    There had to be something fishy going on.


    Wu Mo noticed how bizarre it was too, but he could not figure it out.


    Nevertheless, he was not worried about any problems.


    Even with the cksmith system''s support, it had still been quite difficult for him to develop two technical projects in five months. Toplete the projects as soon as possible, he had spent countless nights in the forging space, sweating. One could say that he had been possessed by the king of scrolls.


    Moreover, he also had ess to the backtrack function, high-quality equipment, and various auxiliary effects.


    Even then, he could only work so fast.


    Unless the Chu Qingyan knew some kind of cloning technique, his achievements were improbable.


    Rather than thinking about all that, it was better to think about how he had cheated.


    Wu Mo immediately turned to look at Academician Xu and smiled. "Academician Xu, are you worried?"


    The surrounding people saw that Wu Mo was still full of confidence at this time, and they could not help but praise him in their hearts. In the face of an unexpected situation, Wu Mo was still so calm andposed.


    Xu Wuyueughed at Wu Mo''s question too.


    Although Chu Qingyan was strange in every way, he had more confidence in Wu Mo.


    Xu Wuyue immediately said, "Hehe, as long as the people of the Red Heart province don''t have your techniques, I would be worried about them!"<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    Hearing this, Wu Mo was instantly amused.


    He thought Academician Xu was worried about him, but it seemed like he was overthinking.


    The attendees around him also smiled and nodded. They were aware of Wu Mo''s strength. Even if Chu Qingyan, who had left the White River province and joined Red Heart, tormented them, they would still be able to deal with him.


    He was not Wu Mo''s match either.


    "By the way, there are two more things I need to tell you in advance."


    Academician Xu suddenly remembered something and quickly turned to Wu Mo.


    The Spirit Wave Sword has already been approved by the emergency channel, and the mass production n is being implemented. The workshop is also being built. With the military leaders'' attention, it probably won''t take long for it to be done."


    Wu Mo''s eyes lit up when he heard the good news.


    The speed of mass production this time was over two times faster than that of the Invisibility Armor. It seemed that the higher-ups in the military had also seen the future applications of the Spirit Wave Sword.


    "That''s good. If there are any problems or difficulties, you can contact me at any time. Early mass production is a good thing for everyone."


    The core attendees around him nodded.


    Now, the fifth Research Department was in charge of the mass production of two pieces of equipment, and it was being carried out in an orderly manner. They never had this ability before.


    "One more thing. Wu Mo submitted a paper a few days ago regarding the Spirit Wave Sword. It''s time to publish it. Ultimately, this is an illustrious matter, so we have to let everyone know that we have a genius cksmith in the capital," old Wen, who had been sitting silently at the side, immediately reminded him.


    Old Wen''sprehensive thoughts made Wu Mo a little helpless.


    He had wanted to intentionally keep a low profile, but it seemed that he would not be able to do so in the near future.


    "Ahem, there''s no problem with publishing it, but it''s only limited to Wu Mo and the White River province''s R&D personnel.Only they can read it for free. Also, we can change the individual signature to the entire R&D team. We can''t be too formal."


    After the discussion, Xu Wuyue immediately stood up.


    "Alright, that''s all I have to say for today. Meeting adjourned!"


    Soon, everyone got up and left. After Wu Mo talked with Academician Xu and the two professors about some work, he got up and left the meeting room too.


    On the way to theboratory, he was in a good mood as he gazed at the grass and flowers on the flower beds on either side of the road. He was very much looking forward to the Nine Provinces'' Annual Exchange Conference that would be held in a few months.


    When the time came, he wanted to ask the guy named Chu Qingyan why he left the fifth Research Department. He also wanted to see what kind of new and powerful equipment the other masters in Nine Provinces could forge.


    Most importantly, however, he still wanted to talk to those master cksmiths whom he could not meet on normal days so that he could advance to the six-star rank as soon as possible.


    The higher the grade of the weapon, the harder it was for Wu Mo to forge. His current skills and knowledge were not enough to turn his dream into reality.


    The reason why he could always forge Epic-grade equipment wasrgely due to the convenience provided by the system.


    When he was forging the Invisibility Armor, it was also because the system had given him a very detailed blueprint that he already had a considerable framework in his mind. The system had even listed the materials, so he knew theplicated techniques involved.


    When he was forging the Spirit Wave Sword, the system had also provided him with a lot of relevant information and a detailed n.


    It was as if the system had alreadyid out the road, and he just had to walk it.


    The system''s existence had saved him a lot of trouble.


    But Wu Mo did not want to rely on it all the time.


    After all, in the current environment of spirit energy recuperation, only those who were strong enough to forge Epic equipment by themselves were qualified to be six-star cksmiths.

 Chapter 252 - 252 Laboratory Building

    252 Laboratory Building


    Therefore, Wu Mo nned to consciously weaken the system¡¯s existence when he was researching thest project. He would try his best to make use of his own abilities to forge equipment and projects that met the conditions for a technological breakthrough.


    At that time, when he put the three pieces of equipment together with the masterpieces of genius researchers from all over the Nine Provinces, he would be able to introduce his work to others with real confidence.


    He would have a clear conscience when hepared his own masterpiece with others.


    After all, there would be an actualbat practice at the end of the exchange conference. Two high-level cultivators of the same strength would wear the equipment that they would submit to the conference. They would analyze the effects of the equipment or weapon in actualbat throughbat practice.


    Thinking of this, Wu Mo could not help but feel excited. He really wanted to see how shocked those people would be when they saw the effects of the Invisibility Armor and the Spirit Wave Sword.


    Also, during the previous meeting, Academician Xu had already told him that if he had any ideas, he could research them with full confidence. Since it was almost the end of the year, themissions issued by the military would be greatly reduced.


    There might not be any suitable projects for him to research and develop.


    On top of that, Academician Xu had also made it clear that due to the precedent set by the Invisibility Armor and the Spirit Wave Sword, there would be as much approval funds as needed for future projects.


    These prerequisites allowed Wu Mo to turn his thoughts and inspirations into reality with peace of mind.


    However, the equipment that he wanted to develop this time would be moreplicated. Not only would it take more time, but it might also require professional equipment and rted information. He would have to research for a long time before he could turn his ideas into reality.


    He kept thinking about it, and it did not take long for him to arrive at a floor not far from the meeting ce.


    Research Building No. 3 was aboratory shared by many researchers.


    Each person could use those advancedboratories independently for three days a month.


    The research and development team could use it for about seven days.


    However, Wu Mo¡¯s research team was a bit special. They had booked the almost entire floor and had been working there for several days.


    Wu Mo then took the elevator to the top floor.


    On the way, he saw many researchers in whiteb coats.


    They were in a hurry, and toplete the project on hand as soon as possible, they had basically forgotten to eat and sleep.


    Ding! Ding!


    The sound of the ascending elevator rang out.


    Wu Mo soon walked out of the elevator and headed to theboratory on the other side of the corridor.


    However, as he turned the corner, he saw a sign at the only intersection.


    [The Spirit Wave Sword¡¯s mass-production technology-provider team is already stationed on this floor. Unrted individuals, please leave immediately.]


    Looking at the serious sign, Wu Mo blinked his eyes and felt a little amused.


    He immediately walked past the vertical sign, pushed open a ss door, and walked in.


    The decoration andyout of the top floor of the research building were quite different from downstairs.


    Although the area was notrge, there were many gradedboratories and rare instruments that were not avable on the lower floor. The level of professionalism was even higher.


    Different types ofboratories were arranged in two ces, and in the middle was an aisle for rest and transportation of experimental materials.


    At this moment, two people were resting with their eyes closed in the lounge. People were constantlying in and out of the surroundingboratories. Although it seemed a little busy, everything was in order.


    Wu Mo¡¯s appearance did not attract anyone¡¯s attention in the beginning.


    After all, the research team had been in operation for more than half a month, and it had always been the dozen of them who had been busy with the work. No strangers had evere in.


    Some timeter, a researcher exited theboratory subconsciously to check if the new materials had been delivered. That was when he suddenly saw Wu Mo at the door.


    Wu Mo had a delicate appearance and a schrly air, which easily stood out in a crowd.


    Not to mention, Wu Mo¡¯s reputation was at its peak now. Basically, everyone in the Research Department knew Wu Mo¡¯s name and appearance.


    Therefore, the researcher in his 30s recognized Wu Mo at a nce. He immediately became excited and nervous.


    ¡°Hurry, hurry, hurry! The peerless genius of our department, Wu Mo, is here!¡±


    He opened the door subconsciously and shouted to the others who were conducting experiments inside. Everyone immediately burst into amotion and rushed out of theboratory.


    Wu Mo was speechless. What did they mean by peerless genius? He was still far from that level.


    After a while, more than a dozen people came to the rest area, and even the two researchers who were resting were dragged up.


    ¡°Stop sleeping. Wake up and look at your idol!¡±


    They picked up the two sleeping men, who wanted to scold them for disturbing their sleep.


    However, the moment they saw Wu Mo standing at the door, they immediately broke into a smile.


    Wu Mo was petrified when he saw this.


    These people had seemingly misunderstood him.


    Fortunately, he noticed two people in the crowd. They were his friends who had developed the tenth-generation standardbat suit with him.


    In order to change everyone¡¯s fixed impression of him, he immediately walked up with a smile and greeted Feng Qi and Lai Hua, who were both wearingb coats.


    Feng Qi, Lai Hua, thank you for helping with the research and development. It¡¯s been a long time since west met.


    Wu Mo winked at the two of them with a smile on his face.


    Feng Qi and Lai Hua were a little embarrassed.


    ¡°It¡¯s only been a few months. I didn¡¯t expect you to improve to such a level.¡± Feng Qi took off his gloves and said emotionally.


    ¡°I was lucky. I also went to the military camp to collect some input once, so I had a new idea and seeded by chance,¡± Wu Mo said warmly as he shook Feng Qi¡¯s hand.


    ¡°It¡¯s definitely not that simple,¡± Lai Hua said. ¡°Thetest equipment you¡¯ve forged involves a lot of information that even the professors don¡¯t understand. You must have put in a lot of effort.¡±


    Lai Hua walked up and patted Wu Mo¡¯s shoulder with a smile.


    ¡°You¡¯ve brought honor to the fifth Research Department. You¡¯re really something.¡±


    Wu Mo¡¯s face turned red from the praise. He immediately changed his tone and talked about the recent situation in theboratory.


    This way, the others around him could also strike up a conversation.


    It did not take long for Wu Mo to blend in and visit severalboratories. He also had some understanding of the researchers¡¯ work.


    ¡°Thank you for your time and energy on this project.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s what we¡¯re supposed to do. We have to finish mass production as soon as possible so that the cultivators on the front line can use it right away.¡±


    Many researchers were full of ambition, and they worked hard to do their job well so that the mass production project could bepleted without dy.


    Seeing this situation, Wu Mo could not help but sigh.


    If he never had the system¡¯s help, he would definitely have contributed his own power in other ces.


    However, he would have definitely been unknown. It would have been impossible for him to achieve 1/10,000 of his current achievements and contributions even if he spent his whole life working.


    ¡°Congrattions, Wu Mo. You¡¯ve received third-ss merit, but you¡¯re still hiding it.¡±


    Right then, Lai Hua was full of excitement and envy.

 Chapter 253 A New Goal: Visiting The Workshop

    Feng Qi, who was beside them, immediately recalled seeing Wu Mo''smendation on the Research Department''s official forum two days ago. He immediately said, "That''s right, and he was even promoted to second lieutenant. He''ll be bragging about it for the rest of his life."


    Wu Mo smiled internally. That had happened a few months ago, and he did not expect them to only learn about it now.


    However, on the surface, Wu Mo was still very careful. After all, some things ran deeper, and confidential things could not be known by ordinary people.


    He smiled and nodded, indicating that he would work harder in the future.


    "I never thought Wu Mo would achieve two technical breakthroughs before he was promoted to second lieutenant," the crowd said. They were afraid that it would be even more difficult for ordinary people like them to get this honor.


    This made Wu Mo curious. He subconsciously asked, "Is it difficult for a second lieutenant to be promoted again? In other words, how many credits do you need toplete second-ss merit?"


    His somewhat inconspicuous words immediately made many people start talking.


    "Of course it''s difficult. If it''s a cultivator with slightly weaker strength, it''s only possible to reach the position of toonmander after 12 years in the army, which is equivalent to a first lieutenant."


    "It''s even more terrifying to upgrade second-ss merit. It''s even more difficult than three third-ss merits. It''s only possible if you make an outstanding contribution to a certain extent."


    "That''s right. My uncle is a cultivator of the five-star rank. After he entered the army, he gave them almost 20 years of his life and paid the price of almost being disabled before he received second-ss merit."


    "If you want to be promoted, you must make significant contributions. It''s not that simple."


    The dozen or so researchers had different opinions, but all of them said that it was very difficult to be promoted to military rank.


    After Wu Mo heard about these cases, he gained a hint of understanding.


    It seemed that it was far from enough to achieve what he had now. He had to keep working hard.


    At this thought, Wu Mo raised his head and immediately asked, "Are there any emptyboratories here? Can I borrow them?"


    Upon hearing Wu Mo''s request, Feng Qi, who had been at a loss for words, promptly said, "Yes, there''s an emptyboratory over there. I originally nned to open it up after recruiting some people. All the materials are ready for use at any time.


    "Alright, sorry for disturbing you. You can get back to your work."


    Wu Mo nodded and immediately walked toward the emptyboratory.


    Everyone was also a little confused, but they quickly returned to work.


    After Wu Mo entered the emptyboratory, he immediately approached theputer desk.


    He turned on theputer and nned to record some of the thoughts he had gained from the conversation earlier.


    He used this to spur himself on.


    However, as he wrote, he began to change the subject and moved on to histest idea, which he had yet to develop in detail.


    A few days ago, when he was chatting with Bald Eagle, he had this idea.


    He wanted to develop a piece of equipment that could truly help cultivators. It had to be lighter and more flexible than Red Heart''s one-piece armor he had seen at the meeting today!


    Not only did they have to protect the bodies of the cultivators, but they also had to help the cultivators, who were injured or disabled, to protect the city and the people.


    As he wrote, he had some inspiration. He started to draw the framework of the equipment n in his mind on the second page of the document.


    It was just that he had not thought of specific physical equipment, so he could only think and explore it bit by bit.


    In about an hour, Wu Mo had written a few thousand words on theputer document, but most of the content was about the conjecture of the new product. The image on the second page also had some progress.


    Just as Wu Mo was about to finalize the rest of the proposal, a phone call interrupted his thoughts.


    He subconsciously took out his phone from his coat. When he realized that it was old Mr. Wen who was calling, he immediately stood up and walked to the side, at the same time pressing the answer button.


    "Hello, Old Wen, is there anything I can help you with?" he said in a low voice.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    here''s the thing. The workshop for the Invisibility Armor has been built. It was in trial operation yesterday. Do you have time now? do you want toe and take a look? "


    On the other end of the phone, old Wen''s voice was gentle and he asked in a questioning tone.


    Wu Mo''s face immediately lit up with joy.


    After such a long time, the production of the Invisibility Armor had finally entered the second stage, which was a good thing.


    "Old Wen, I''m free now," he immediately said with some excitement.


    "Okay, I''ll send someone to pick you up now. After you go to the workshop, if you find any problems, you can let me know."


    After a while, old Wen hung up the phone.


    Wu Mo sent the semi-finished document to his national research pass ount, then immediately closed the door of theboratory and left in a hurry.


    The researchers passing by saw Wu Mo''s anxious expression and did not say anything.


    Soon, Wu Mo took the elevator to the first floor of theboratory.


    As soon as he pushed open the ss door and went out, he saw a camouge military vehicle parked downstairs.


    Downstairs in the experimental building, many people had noticed the ferocious military vehicle and were watching the show.


    He did not know which leader these people were going to wee.


    The people who were watching the show were a little confused. This was just an ordinary publicboratory building, and the professor and Academician Xu would note here at all.


    Those who could conduct experiments here were ordinary people, and few of them were qualified to be called leaders.


    Just as they were surprised, Wu Mo immediately pushed open the ss door and walked out. When he saw the military vehicle parked outside, he went straight to it.


    "I''ll go! It''s actually Wu Mo!"


    "Strange, why would hee to a ce like this? he''spletely qualified to go to the research building."


    "I say, if he''s here to pick up Wu Mo, everything would make sense."


    After everyone saw Wu Mo, they immediately felt that everything made sense.


    However, he was surprised that a famous genius graduate student like Wu Mo woulde to such a ce.


    They all looked at Wu Mo with envy, and some even regarded him as a role model as they secretly encouraged themselves to work hard.


    However, Wu Mo did not notice the thoughts and opinions of these people.


    After he got into the military vehicle, the driver immediately started the car and drove out of the fifth Research Department.


    In the military vehicle that was protected by spirit energy, other than Wu Mo and the driver sent by old Wen, there were also two guards who were at the perfected five-star rank. Their job was to ensure Wu Mo''s safety.


    This was because the military had issued a new order some time ago to protect Wu Mo''s safety at all costs.


    It would be fine if they were in the fifth Research Department, which had a lot of security.


    If they wanted to go out, they had to send experts to protect them.


    This time, Wu Mo was only going to look around. There were still two cultivators protecting the Invisibility Armor factory.


    Coupled with the special military vehicle, it would definitely be able to protect Wu Mo.

 Chapter 254 Interlude

    After a while, the military vehicle turned around and went in another direction. Wu Mo had a good sense of direction. He was surprised to find that the Invisibility Armor factory was built in the deep mountains behind the Research Department.


    Behind the Research Department was arge piece of grass and a continuous mountain range. It was sparsely popted. Even many senior researchers had lived there for more than 10 years and had never set foot there.


    It was extremely confidential, and it was also extremely convenient to transport resources and materials.


    So far, in addition to the construction workers and rted staff, there were no more than ten people who knew the location of the workshop.


    After a short while, Wu Mo passed through the heavily guarded gate that was disguised as a natural attraction and soon arrived at the open space of the construction factory.


    This ce was less than three kilometers away from the Research Department, but it was deserted enough. There were also hidden sentries. Even an expert who knew how to hide his spirit energy could not escape everyone''s attention and sneak in.


    After they got out of the car, old Wen''s assistant immediately led Wu Mo into the workshop.


    On the way, he saw many workers transporting materials. It seemed that the workshop for the Spirit Wave Sword was also in the midst of preparation.


    Pushing open the door of the workshop, Wu Mo entered the workshop with excitement.


    The interior of the workshop covered a vast area and was brightly lit. All kinds of machinery and equipment that he had never seen before were working in an orderly manner.


    The production of the invisible armor in the workshop was divided into 13 steps. Most of the work in each step was done by machines, while humans were only responsible for monitoring and adjusting some data.


    From the initial smelting of the metal to the removal of impurities, to the formation of the mold, cooling, and quenching.


    The equipment would take care of the material casting, while the Research Department would be responsible for assembling the producedponents and modifying the energy vein within them.


    If one Invisibility Armor was made by a man, it would take at least half a month or even a month.


    On the other hand, the machine only needed about half an hour to cast all the materials, and the final assembly process only took half an hour.


    In other words, with the help of these advanced technologies, the forging time of the invisible armor was shortened by hundreds of times.


    Wu Mo was surprised to see these powerful machines.


    Many of the devices and functions in the workshop were much more powerful than he had imagined on his way here.


    Even the coreponents of the Dark Light Wings could bepleted by the mechanical arm with an error of fewer than two millimeters, which was much faster than his original technique.


    Wu Mo sighed at the power of today''s technology. Looking at the equipment in front of him, he suddenly felt that the Spirit Wave Sword that he had developed a few days ago was not as shocking and amazing as before.


    He had not expected the White River province to grow so strong in a ce he did not know about. He had been shocked when he saw it.


    He looked at the Invisibility Armor that was being perfected on the assembly line.


    Wu Mo curiously used the system''s appraisal function.


    The result of the appraisal was that all the data was the same as when he had first forged it. It was just that the equipment assembled by the staff did not have any runes, and it would take some time toplete the rest.


    Wu Mo was very satisfied with such a level of mass production.


    After the arrays were added, it would be the same as the improved version.


    "Hey, Wu Mo, you''re here to visit the workshop?"


    Just as Wu Mo was carefully observing the entire line of work, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind.


    Wu Mo turned around and saw Academician Xu walking toward him.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    "Academician Xu, what are you doing here?"


    Wu Mo was surprised. He did not expect the mass production project to be so important that even Academician Xu was here to supervise.


    "I heard from Professor Liu that the workshop waspleted yesterday, so I came to see how it''s running. By the way, take a look at the equipment and finished casting. Are you satisfied?"


    Academician Xu was wearing a dust-free work uniform. He smiled as he spoke to Wu Mo.


    Hearing this, Wu Mo immediately nodded and gave him a thumbs up. "This is too unexpected. I didn''t expect that our White River province would have so manyplex instruments."


    When Academician Xu heard Wu Mo''s praise, he smiled and nodded. He looked up at the busy workers in the workshop and felt a little emotional.


    Thest time their Research Department had received so much attention from the army was a few years ago when the magicite cannons had been developed.


    After nearly two years, this feeling had returned.


    The assistant immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Wu, what you''ve seen is only the moremon equipment. It''s already a little outdated. Our White River province has more advanced equipment. If we conduct experiments on them in the military, we might be able to integrate them in two years. There''s no need to produce so many different types of equipment."


    The assistant''s words made Wu Mo''s face light up, and he could not help but look forward to it.


    If they could achieve integration as soon as possible, perhaps the speed and precision could be further improved, and by then, the cksmiths could spend more time on research and development.


    "Alright, let''s not talk about this for now. I''ll show you around the various processes."


    Seeing that the first batch of Invisibility Armor was already half-done, Academician Xu immediately started to urge them.


    Wu Mo quickly followed him, nning to find out more.


    Therge workshop was divided into four parts.


    In the first area, there were fourrge instruments used to process the raw materials. They were the calcining and melting, the impurities removal, the initial cooling, and the cutting of the surface cloth.


    ? In the second area, there were five instruments, which were prototype casting,ponent processing, and so on.


    Academician Xu took Wu Mo to the second workshop area.


    After entering the corresponding workshop, he immediately saw therge casting equipment that was working.


    Around the instrument, the staff was constantly adjusting the instrument and maintaining the normal operation of the process line.


    On the other side, several workers in the workshop were gathered together and seemed to be discussing something.


    These people were resting in a corner and didn''t notice Wu Mo and the other two who had just walked in. They were still in a heated discussion.


    "I really don''t know what kind of brains those researchers have to be able to develop such a sophisticated instrument."


    "Hmph, let me tell you, the forger who developed this Invisibility Armor is a f*cking genius. He can actually use the deviation of light to achieve physical invisibility. If I were to do this, I wouldn''t be able to think of this method even in eight lifetimes."


    "You''re just a craftsman, what do you know about hammers? The scientists research this every day, so how can they not be amazing?"


    The workers in the three workshops were full of praise for the Invisibility Armor that was being mass-produced.


    Wu Mo, who was standing not far away, heard this and immediately felt a little embarrassed.


    He felt that he did not deserve it, so he took a few steps forward and said, "Masters, you''re going too far. This invisibility cloak isn''t that powerful, and it still has its ws. For example, the armor''s design isn''t user-friendly enough, and it doesn''t look good enough."

 Chapter 255 A Dramatic Scene

    He had originally wanted to say that they should not exaggerate about the armor and that it was better to be realistic.


    However, as soon as he said that, a workshop driver in his 40s red at him.


    To the workshop master, the researcher who made the Invisibility Armor was his idol!


    He had failed to obtain ideal results when he was a student, so he could only rely on his understanding of forging to be a workshop worker, who was just slightly above ordinary.


    To him, being able to forge equipment with powerful effects was the most awesome existence!


    But now, his idol was being belittled by an unknown fellow. How could he take it?


    Immediately, the middle-aged master pointed at Wu Mo and attacked him aggresively.


    "What do you know? Such powerful armor is for the soldiers on the front line to use. It doesn''t matter if it looks good or not. It''s fine as long as it''s useful and powerful!


    "You don''t have anymon sense and you''re just spouting nonsense. Do you know the value of physical invisibility? It couldn''t even be detected by infrared rays. This is a revolution for the entire field of forging! It''s epoch-making, understand?


    "The existence of the Invisibility Armor can also be of great help to soldiers on the front line. It can even reduce the production of casualties. If this was in ancient times, the talent who developed the invisibility cloak would be made a king."


    The middle-aged man''s words were reasonable, and the two colleagues beside him also nodded.


    He looked at Wu Mo with hostility.


    Academician Xu and old Wen''s assistant, who were standing behind Wu Mo, found it difficult to hold back theirughter.


    Who would have thought... the person who made the Invisibility Armor would actually be chastised by the master who bragged about it.


    The effect was simply perfect.


    Seeing this situation, Wu Mo was also a little speechless. However, he insisted on his idea and said, "The equipment''s effects are of course important, butfort and other data must be taken into consideration when armor is developed.


    "If you only consider the effect, it''s the same as cutting off one''s own arm. A unique design often needs to be realized together with human engineering to achieve double the effect. Design aesthetics can also y many roles in many aspects. Only by having both can it be considered an excellent piece of equipment, right?"


    Wu Mo exined it clearly and pointed out the problem with the Invisibility Armor.


    The old masters in the three workshops were stunned by Wu Mo''s point of view. They also felt that it made sense.


    The equipment''s unnatural joint could, to some extent, affect a cultivator''s flexibility. A casual appearance would also give people the first impression that it was a crude piece of work. It would be hard for people to believe and even cause misunderstandings.


    "Brother Wang, what this young man said does make sense."


    "That''s right. This armor''s appearance does look like a piece of inferior clothing. I feel that it''s a bit of a waste to design with such a good fabric."


    Looking at his two brothers waver, Wang Dong still felt that things were not as the young man had said.


    "You two, go ahead. You think everything he says makes sense, but it makes no sense."


    Wang Dong red at the two of them, then immediately turned his gaze to the young man who had spoken earlier.


    He scanned the young man''s outfit. From the young man''s speech, he seemed to know a little about the subject, but not much.


    At that thought, he cleared his throat and said with a straight face, "Don''t give me all these useless opinions. The genius who made the Invisibility Armor is a big shot in the Research Department.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    "I''ve been in the field of forging for dozens of years, so don''t tell me I''m not as aware as you? A master of forging did this because he has his reasons and it has a deeper meaning. It''s just that you don''t understand it. Yes, that''s it!"


    Xu Wuyueughed when he heard the workshop master''s words.


    The researcher who made the Invisibility Armor was right in front of him, but this master felt that Wu Mo was wrong, and he remained firm in his own opinion. He was indeed an interesting person.


    Old Mr. Wen''s assistant, on the other hand, was amused by the dramatic scene.


    However, the two of them tacitly remained silent. They wanted to see how Wu Mo would deal with this situation.


    "Uh... didn''t you notice it when you were forging? What deeper meaning could there be?"


    Wu Mo was a little dumbfounded. The middle-aged master in front of him was still being stubborn at this time. He was speechless.


    "I don''t think you understand the armor. The joints of the invisibility cloak are not connected well to increase its defense ability. If the gaps between the joints are widened and the enemy attacks the weak points, won''t the armor be destroyed very quickly?"


    "What appearance? That''s just... to confuse the enemy and lower their vignce. They will think that this battle armor is useless and quickly end the battle. Don''t you know the purpose of a quick solution? That''s how it''s designed. How could you understand? Seriously..."


    After the middle-aged master finished speaking, he sneered. Then, he turned around and ignored Wu Mo.


    The assistant and Xu Wuyue could not help butugh when they heard the master''s exnation.


    Wu Mo''s face was full of frowns, and he could not help but grumble in his heart.


    ''That''s really good. I don''t even know myself. It''s ridiculous that there''s such a deep meaning and use in such a design.


    ''This big brother is so good at bullsh*tting. He must have gotten full marks in readingprehension when he was young.''


    At this thought, Wu Mo shook his head helplessly. When his assistant saw this, he immediately smiled and said to the three of them, "Do you know who he is? How could you just speak like that?"


    The three masters turned around again. The one in the lead, Wang Dong, noticed that the man who spoke was well-dressed, and his every move carried the aura of a superior.


    To not cause trouble, he suppressed his temper and said, "I don''t care who he is. He''s not in charge of the workshop anyway."


    The assistant smiled mysteriously. "He''s not in charge of the workshop, but he''s here to visit the workshop. The Invisibility Armor that''s being mass-produced is developed by this young man!


    After the assistant finished speaking, he winked at the master.


    Wu Mo held his forehead and did not say anything. The master''s look of disbelief hurt his young heart.


    Wang Dong did not immediately react after hearing the assistant''s words. His face was full of doubt.


    However, when he realized that the assistant had revealed the identity of the young man, who was the Invisibility Armor''s inventor, Wang Dong''s pupils suddenly shrank.


    He had thought that Wu Mo was probably a genius from a certain school, or that he might have a powerful background, or perhaps he was the son of a professor. That was why he had been given the right to visit the workshop.


    However, he had never thought that a 20-something-year-old man would be the inventor of the Invisibility Armor!


    When the other two masters heard this news, their expressions also changed dramatically.

 Chapter 256 Three-Dimensional Gear

    When Academician Xu saw that the situation was getting more and more out of hand, he immediately spoke up to stop it.


    Hearing the leader''s words, Wang Dong awkwardly stopped what he was doing, and the assistant immediately pulled Wu Mo out of the workshop.


    He continued to the next one.


    After a round of inspection, they found that...


    The four areas in the workshop were operating ording to the n, and everything was in order.


    The Invisibility Armor''s production speed was also quite good. At this pace, it would not take long for the first batch of equipment to bepleted.


    After visiting all the workshops, Wu Mo immediately said goodbye to Academician Xu.


    Now that he knew about the Invisibility Armor''s production and he was sure that there would be no further problems, he felt much more at ease.


    Walking out of the workshop, Wu Mo and his assistant quickly walked toward the military vehicle.


    The cultivator who apanied the escort immediately got into position. The driver steadily drove Wu Mo and his assistant back to the fifth Research Department.


    It was the middle of autumn in the capital. The originally lush streets were gradually bing deste. The city''s main color had also changed from emerald green to a withered yellow.


    There was a slight chill in the breeze, and it would not be long before the temperature of the entire city would gradually drop.


    Wu Mo looked out of the window through the ss, watching the scenery that was constantly receding.


    In his mind, he was still thinking and perfecting the idea that hade up with for a long time.


    Soon, the military''s dark green camouge vehicle passed through the heavy checkpoints and returned to the Research Department.


    Wu Mo bade farewell to old Wen''s assistant at the cultural square and hurried to the research building.


    He nned to continue his research to fill in the unfinished n in his mind. Since he had gone to the production workshop with his assistant and seen therge mechanical equipment, he had a new idea.


    His original intention in developing equipment was to help cultivators who had sustained injuries while they were on their missions, fighting fierce beasts on the battlefields.


    Those cultivators had great ambitions, but because of their wounded limbs, they would never be able to fight again for the rest of their lives.


    No matter if it was Lone Wolf or the thousands of other cultivators, none of them were willing to face their disabilities.


    With this thought in mind, Wu Mo took the elevator back to theboratory.


    This time, he simply said hello to a few researchers he met before he entered the emptyboratory.


    Sitting in front of theputer, Wu Mo did not rush to act this time. Instead, he closed his eyes and carefully gathered the thoughts in his mind.


    In his mind, he kept recalling the conversation he had with the leaders and the soldiers who had participated in the drill.


    There was also the conversation he had with Bald Eagle in the vi some time ago.


    Images shed through his mind, and the information within them was slowly added into the framework.


    Wu Mo felt that victory was right in front of him, yet he could not grasp it after several attempts.


    "I must focus on building defense!" He lowered his eyes and muttered to himself.


    Wu Mo felt that since he was here to help those disabled cultivators, he had to spend more effort on the defense of the equipment.


    The Invisibility Armor''s defense was not bad, but it was still light armor. Even if it reached its upper limit, it would not be able to protect every cultivator in most situations.


    Thinking of this, a white light suddenly shed in Wu Mo''s gray mind.


    Perhaps, he could design a battle armor with strong defensive capabilities that could cover the whole body. The wearer would not be easily injured, and at the same time, the armor could greatly increasebat power?<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    After this thought popped up in his mind, Wu Mo immediately locked his eyes on the man.


    In his mind, something that could meet these requirements should be simr to the huge mecha in Pacific Rim, or rather, it was Iron Man''s suit from the Avengers.


    Thinking about the effects of these two pieces of equipment, Wu Mo''s heart immediately became excited.


    But on second thought, whether it was the steel suit or the full-body mech, this kind of equipment that only existed in movies could not be developed by modern technology.


    Even in the context of the recuperation of spirit energy, no ore could support the energy consumption of the Iron Man suit.


    Not to mention, the technology integrated into the steel armor was too advanced. Unless it was a hundred yearster, it was impossible to achieve.


    Even if they were to forcefully forge a set, it would only be a low-end youth version.


    It would be better to have Legendary equipment.


    Wu Mo continued to search his mind.


    He rubbed his eyebrows and leaned his upper body against the table.


    The entireboratory was silent, and only his regr breathing could be heard.


    Since mechas did not work, was there any equipment that was slightly easier to cast but also met the above requirements?


    He kept searching through the memories in his mind.


    The next moment, an image shed before Wu Mo''s eyes.


    Outside a tall city wall, giants with exposed muscles were hobbling over.


    In mid-air, a young man wearing the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear easily dodged the giant''s big hand and shed the back of the giant''s neck.


    Looking at the image that shed before him, Wu Mo seemingly caught on to something and became excited.


    Among the attacking giants, the jet from the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear and the steel rope that could be shot out and retracted allowed the wearer to move at high speed in the air.


    The wearer''s speed in killing the fierce beasts would definitely be faster than the all-in-one armor.


    However, wearing the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear required the strap to cover the entire body, and it was not suitable for injured cultivators.


    However, this idea had alreadyid the foundation for his new equipment.


    Wu Mo was now inspired. He only needed to improve on the basis of the mobile device. Not only did it need to provide good protection for the wearer, but it also needed to add the function of high-speed movement on the ground.


    After all, steel cables were only suitable for use in cities or forests.


    If they encountered arge in, it would be impossible to adjust or change the direction of their flight by only using the jet.


    A series of thoughts appeared in Wu Mo''s mind, but he immediately turned on hisputer and entered all his previous ns and ideas.


    The Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear could indeed y a very powerful role in the world of giants, but it was not sopatible in real life.


    Therefore, Wu Mo needed to make arge modification to it.


    It required both high-speed movement in the air and maneuvering equipment to provide strong body protection.


    The most important thing was that this kind of mobile device, which was like an external bone armor, did not need super high technology like the mecha.


    In the current environment of the recuperation of spirit energy, the energy stones were enough to allow the mobile device to work for a long time.


    As for the subsequent high-speed running on the ground and flying in the air, Wu Mo already had a preliminary way to achieve it in his mind.

 Chapter 257 - 257 Nightmare Difficulty

    257 Nightmare Difficulty


    This time, he hade up with a new n on his own without relying on the system¡¯s deduction function. He knew that this might not be as perfect as the system, but people always needed to rely on themselves, did they not?


    After getting a general direction, Wu Mo immediately began to investigate.


    At the same time, he began to draw the outline of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear on theputer.


    He was aware that this new three-dimensional device would definitely be extremelyplicated and would definitely need more modules than the Spirit Wave Sword.


    He required modules for devices that maintained flight in the air, maintained high-speed running on the ground, reced broken limbs, and acted as full body armor.


    As for the attack module, Wu Mo did not n on developing it.


    Many cultivators had their own fixed weapons for a long time. If they installed a new weapon on the mecha, they would need more time to get used to it, and that did not match his initial goal.


    Wu Mo was working at his desk. When the people outside theboratory noticed that the door was closed, they quickly realized that Wu Mo was working on something new. Everyone tacitly lowered their voices and tried not to disturb each other.


    An hourter, Wu Mo looked at the technical information on theputer.


    He could not help but sigh in his heart.


    Thest time he studied the Spirit Wave Sword, he had already learned a lot about modern technology and some technical principles. Yet, until now, he still had not mastered the slightest bit of the technology to realize a maneuvering armor.


    Whether it was the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear or external bone armor, Wu Mo felt that they were more sophisticated than the Spirit Wave Sword.


    It required the bestbination of modern technology and forging technology.


    If one of the two was missing, it would be impossible to create his ideal maneuvering gear.


    Currently, in the field of forging, Wu Mo had reached the intermediate stage of five-star and could easily forge Epic equipment with the system¡¯s help.


    However, in the modern field, the technology that Wu Mo hadprehended so far could not even be considered beginner-level. He needed to learn more modern knowledge and technology, as well as his friend¡¯s ability to turn the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear from a n into reality.


    Thinking back to a while ago, to forge the Spirit Wave Sword, he had to study new techniques day and night as well as readplicated papers. Wu Mo could not help but shake his head.


    He had thought of resting for a while afterpleting the Spirit Wave Sword. However, it seemed that he did not have the time.


    There were only three months left before the year-end conference for cksmiths.


    He had to forge the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear and apply for the Technological Breakthrough Award within this period of time to meet the requirements. He asked Brigadier General Liao Dongcheng to write the application for him.


    When he thought about how he would be able to make his own equipment andterpete with the other talented cksmiths from the other eight regions in the Nine Provinces, Wu Mo could not suppress his excitement.


    He had never been afraid of hardships or taken deliberate action to avoid them.


    Whether searching for information or learning new techniques, Wu Mo never backed down.


    However, he had yet to grasp the key points, and he could not find the technology needed to develop the three-dimensional gear, let alone integrate the difficult knowledge for his own use.


    After realizing that there was no such cutting-edge technology on the Inte, Wu Mo had to turn to the system for help.


    Of course, he only asked the system about the materials needed to cast the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear. He had no intention of asking the system to help himplete the forging.


    Wu Mo immediately lowered his voice and said, ¡°System, load the current quest!¡±


    As soon as Wu Mo¡¯s voice fell in the quietboratory, the system¡¯s unique ethereal voice rang in his mind.


    [The system has sessfully loaded. The current information is as follows:


    [Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear research and development mission.


    [Please create a three-dimensional device for mobility that can meet the following requirements within three months.


    [Requirements: Rapid walking on the ground, full-body armor protection, high mobility in the air, ability to reattach broken limbs, etc.


    [Prerequisite Skills: Five-star casting knowledge, neural interface technology, human engineering technology,work topology structure, artificial muscle principle, motion control system technology, supeputer skeleton.


    [Points Required to Draw Up the Blueprint: 60,000. Due to insufficient stored information, the Three-Dimensional Maneuver Gear cannot be sessfully rendered.


    [Inte Data Analysis, General Points Required: 14,000.


    [General Points Required for Materials Listing: 6,000


    [If the forging is sessful, you will receive an estimated 470 points per person for shock value, up to 350,000 points.]


    A translucent system panel appeared before Wu Mo, and the series of information on it surprised him.


    He did not expect that even the almost omniscient and omnipotent system could note up with a specific n for this Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    Moreover, searching for some information and required materials actually required thousands of general points. That alone was enough to tell him how difficult it would be to develop the Three-Dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    Moreover, the points each person providedter on would also exceeded all the points from the equipment that Wu Mo had previously forged.


    More than half a year ago, Wu Mo had disyed the power of the spatial medium in front of everyone in Treasure Pavilion back in Shanglin City. While everyone was ultimately shocked, he had only received several dozen points.


    After conversion, he only had less than 1,000 points.


    As for the cloaks and the Armor-piercing Short Staff, he only managed to harvest less than 80 shock-value points from each person.


    During the graduation design assessment, he had upgraded Thor¡¯s hammer to a Divine weapon in front of everyone. It had earned him more than 200,000 points, but each person¡¯s shock value was only slightly over 300.


    At that time, relying on the advantage of having more people, Wu Mo¡¯s points had directly broken through the barrier of several hundred thousand.


    Now, after seeing that the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear was expected to get him more than 400 points per person, he immediately understood the difficulty of forging the equipment.


    Although Mjolnir was a precious Divine weapon, its forging still relied on his knowledge in the field of forging.


    However, after entering the Research Department, the forging research and development field had always been in the scope of military use, which inevitably involved modern technology.


    With the addition of modern technology, the difficulty of developing equipment increased exponentially.


    Thest time when he developed the Spirit Wave Sword, Wu Mo had experienced this feeling of pain and happiness.


    However, he only needed to learn three to four techniques previously. But now, more than a dozen of thetest technologies and principles were listed.


    It would be difficult for him to master all of them in three months without the system¡¯s help.


    Nevertheless, the difficulty before him did not make him retreat. Instead, it made him more and more courageous.


    After all, when he was still a student, he was able to endure the loneliness as a master and study all night in the forging space.


    For Wu Mo, difficulties only made him braver. If he did not have enough time to learn these techniques in real life, he would bring the information to the forging space.


    He would use the difference of 100 times in speed to gain enough time to learn.

 Chapter 258 - 258 Study of Materials

    258 Study of Materials


    He had a few hundred thousand points anyway, so he could afford all kinds of mental energy potions!


    With that in mind, Wu Mo had an answer in his heart.


    He immediately recited in his mind, ¡®Exchange points for the raw materials needed to cast the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear and exchange points for modern technology.¡¯


    The moment he thought of it, the system immediately responded.


    Then, he saw that part of the string of numbers in the lower left corner, which represented his points, had disappeared.


    At the same time, the information extracted, analyzed, copied, and printed from the Inte was all stored in his backpack.


    The system¡¯s backpack only had 10 slots, but items that were roughly the same could be ced together without limit.


    After all the information was extracted, all the materials needed to cast the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear were also presented before him.


    Wu Mo¡¯s eyes twitched as he looked at the list of materials.


    When he first forged the Divine weapon, Mjolnir, he had only used a dozen materials. Even the Spirit Wave Sword had only used 20 or so materials.


    Now, however, more than 60 kinds of materials were needed to cast the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, and most of them were modern synthetic materials that he had never seen before.


    ¡°Tsk tsk tsk... These technological materials don¡¯t exist in nature, I¡¯m just a cksmith. There¡¯s no chance for me to get them at all!¡± Wu Mo said while he looked at the list of materials in front of him, realizing his situation.


    He felt that the current situation was bing increasingly troublesome. The idea obviously seemed simpler in the beginning, but why did it have to be soplicated to make it a reality?


    Shaking his head, Wu Mo suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind.


    He wanted to enter the forging space as soon as possible and learn the information provided by the system.


    However, this was a researchb, and it was not as confidential as his house.


    He stood up from hisputer chair and looked around the smallboratory.


    It was equipped with many instruments, but most of them were used for testing the density, hardness, and purity of materials.


    In addition, theboratory was also equipped with a small workbench and a furnace of good quality.


    The entireboratory was divided into two parts, the inner and outer.


    Other than theputer tables and chairs, there were also a few small instruments.


    Inside was the ce that was introduced earlier, which could be used to forge equipment.


    Wu Mo pushed the door open and walked in. The entire workce was less than 20 square meters. After a few devices had been ced, there were only a few square meters of activity space left.


    However, the security there was pretty good, and the door could be locked from the inside.


    Moreover, even if he stayed in the forging space for more than 10 hours, where time flowed 100 times faster, only less than ten minutes would have passed in real life.


    Even if someone came looking for him, he could use the excuse that he had been working and had not heard anything. No one would find out.


    Wu Mo massaged his slightly numb shoulders.


    Then, he turned around and immediately walked into the workstation, then subconsciously locked the door.


    He found a chair in the small workstation and sat down. Soon after, Wu Mo lowered his eyes and calmed his mind.


    Very quickly, his five senses were cut off.


    When Wu Mo regained consciousness, all that was left before him was chaos.


    He turned his gaze to the bookshelf beside the work table. The information provided by the system had been ced there when he forged the Spirit Wave Sword.


    Looking at it again, the bookshelf, which had be empty because of his sessful casting of the parts, was now full of documents.


    Furthermore, many of them were also stored in his inventory since the small bookshelf simply could not fit them.


    Wu Mo quickly walked to the work desk. Looking at the faint silver light that it constantly emitted, his heart gradually calmed down.


    Once he waspletely at peace, he promptly took out one of the documents and began to read it carefully.


    On the blue, modern technology had been developed for more than 300 years. In the field of science and technology, to understand systematic knowledge...


    One had to start learning from primary school or junior high school at the very least. Only after bing a graduate student or professor could one have a thorough understanding of the knowledge and technology of a certain field.


    This learning process oftensted for more than 10 years.


    In the field of modern technology, Wu Mo was at most a junior high school student.


    Understanding the techniques and original principles was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.


    Even though the system had simplified some of the information for Wu Mo to understand, he still needed prerequisite skills to understand a thing or two about the obscure knowledge.


    To master these dozens of techniques, Wu Mo devoted himself to them.


    With his spiritual power at the intermediate stage of the five-star rank, he could only stay in the Divine-grade Forging Space for 12 hours at most.


    Taking the small spirit energy potion could increase the duration by two hours, but the potions all had a limit. If one took too many at once, the effects would be greatly reduced.


    Therefore, to be on the safe side, Wu Mo could only stay in the forging space for about 20 hours a day.


    He could sessfully enter the forging space again only when his spirit was exhausted and he slowly increased his spiritual power through sleep.


    However, even if Wu Mo could ovee his loneliness after 20 hours of high-intensity study a day, he would probably develop a physiological aversion to studying.


    Therefore, he divided the 20 hours into three parts, one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening.


    He would only return to rest at night once his spiritual power was exhausted.


    Just like that, Wu Mo made notes in theboratory and learned new techniques, as well as knowledge, in the forging space.


    In the beginning, it was extremely difficult to learn. It was like challenging advanced mathematics without learning the four arithmetic operations. Even if the system carried out a preliminary analysis of the data, it still felt like a heavenly book to him.


    Fortunately, the feeling of not being able to move as if he had fallen into a swamp did notst long.


    He began to gradually understand the theory behind artificial intelligence and the realization of neural interfaces.


    At the same time, the details of the three-dimensional maneuvering equipment in hisputer were gradually perfected.


    The general framework had been finalized, and the various modules were also enriched with details. However, he analyzed them separately using existing knowledge.


    In terms of driving force, Wu Mo also understood the advantages and disadvantages of hydraulic power, as well as thebination of hydraulic pressure, oil, and electricity. He started to construct various values and added sensing patches to each joint.


    He would develop an AI intelligent system suitable for three-dimensional gear and adjust the angle of its armor ording to aerodynamics.


    As he spent more time studying, Wu Mo¡¯s thesis gradually became more and more mature.


    The quality of his thesis also went from being full of mistakes at first to having a chance to easily pass the draft on major websites.


    For others, it would be highly difficult to grasp even a single life lesson in three days¡¯ time. As for Wu Mo, who had the Divine-grade Forging Space, he could do many things.

 Chapter 259 Bald Eagle And Lone Wolf

    As he watched the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear grow more and more detailed, Wu Mo became more motivated to learn. With the increasing modules, all the values were getting more and more bnced.


    His paper was all about his thoughts and prospects on the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, and there was also a part where he exined the technology involved in the forging of Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    To him, this paper was just casual and not of high quality. It mainly recorded his feelings and insights during this period of time.


    However, if it was published on those well-known websites in the Nine Provinces, it would definitely be a hit.


    Just as Wu Mo was thinking about whether he should publish this paper, there was a knock on theboratory door.


    Wu Mo subconsciously looked up at the door. Through the matte ss, he saw two shadows standing outside the door. He immediately got up and walked out of theboratory.


    During this period of time, aside from eating and sleeping, the rest of his time was basically spent in theboratory or entering the forging space to study the information given by the system.


    For the past three days, almost no one had disturbed him.


    Therefore, Wu Mo was not used to the sudden knocking.


    He unlocked the door, pushed the door open, and looked out. He found it odd when he saw two young men in their 30s standing outside the door.


    The young man standing on the left had short xen hair and a dark green military uniform that made him look very capable and experienced. There was also a weapon of an unknown type on his waist. His attire was exactly the same as when Wu Mo first met him.


    It was Bald Eagle who had previously sat and drank with Wu Mo.


    The man standing next to Bald Eagle was quite burly, and there was a hint of determination in his eyes. Thetter had a hardened expression, and his back was straight. Even though he was only wearing an ordinary military uniform, his murderous aura could not be concealed.


    However, his legs seemed to be a little awkward, and his standing posture was a strangepared with Bald Eagle''s.


    Wu Mo could recognize the young man from just a nce.


    He had to be the goodrade whom Bald Eagle had told him aboutst time. It was Lone Wolf, whose leg had been seriously injured in a mission!


    Lone Wolf was exactly as Wu Mo had pictured. He was strong, but he had a careful side to him. He did not retreat easily and had a straightforward personality. He was an all-out hero.


    Bald Eagle, who had been waiting impatiently at the side, saw the door open and Wu Mo walk out. He immediately questioned, "What are you researching? I''ve called you more than 10 times, but I couldn''t get in touch with you for days. You didn''t answer my calls or reply to my messages. I thought something had happened to you..."


    Faced with Bald Eagle''s barrage of questions, Wu Mo was instantly dumbfounded.


    He subconsciously took out his phone and looked at it. Good Lord, there were nearly 20 missed calls, all from Bald Eagle in the past three days. Two of them had even been madete at night. One could say that he was persistent.


    Wu Mo raised his head again and faced Bald Eagle''s scrutinizing gaze. He waved his hand awkwardly and exined, "Sorry, I''ve been researching a new project these few days. I was too focused on my studies and my phone was on silent mode, so I didn''t notice."


    Upon hearing Wu Mo''s exnation, Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf exchanged looks.


    They could see the surprise in each other''s eyes.


    New project?


    That was a great thing.


    The invisibility cloak and the Spirit Wave Sword that Wu Mo had developed were of great help to cultivators. The two of them had seen it with their own eyes. The organization they were in had also received a quota for five invisibility cloaks since it started to be mass-produced recently.


    For six-star cultivators like them, this was like adding wings to a tiger!


    It was even more so for the normal cultivators who were fighting on the front lines.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    Seeing that the two of them did not say anything else, Wu Mo immediately asked, "By the way, why did you twoe all the way here to find me?"


    When Bald Eagle heard Wu Mo''s question, he raised his hand and said, "Obviously I need to discuss something with you. Our leader asked us toe and pick you up."


    After saying that, Bald Eagle looked around. After making sure that no one was paying attention to him, he lowered his voice and said, "It''s not convenient to talk here. Let''s go in and talk."


    Bald Eagle took the lead and entered theboratory, followed by Lone Wolf.


    Wu Mo turned around and saw Lone Wolf limping. His heart sank, and he was taken aback.


    Lone Wolf had been so seriously injured that even if he had an artificial limb now, he would not be able to regain one-tenth of his peakbat prowess.


    Wu Mo lowered his eyes and turned around to close theboratory door.


    At this time, the other researchers were still doing their own work.


    Lone Wolf and Bald Eagle''s arrival had not attracted any attention.


    In theboratory, Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf looked around, observing the not-so-big room.


    When he saw the litputer on the desk, Bald Eagle immediately sat down on the chair casually.


    "This ce isn''t bad. It''s quiet and clean. It''s a good ce to develop new projects or ck off at work."


    As Bald Eagle spoke, he looked up at the string of numbers on theputer screen, as well as the thousands of words of text. He suddenly appeared curious.


    "Wu Mo, what are you writing on yourputer? I can''t understand a single word."


    Confronted by Bald Eagle''s question, Wu Mo replied nonchntly, "Nothing much. It''s just the research progress of my new project and some other information."


    "Ah!"


    Bald Eagle was dumbfounded the moment he heard Wu Mo''s response. He retracted his hand that was reaching for the keyboard at lightning speed and instantly stood up as if he had just sat on a spring.


    "This... is so important. How could you leave it open here on the table!" Bald Eagle said with a flustered expression.


    At the same time, he felt some fear in his heart. If he had identally clicked the close button and Wu Mo had not saved the information, the consequences would have been devastating.


    After all, Wu Mo''s intelligence was obvious to all. The Invisibility Armor and Spirit Wave Sword that he had previously developed were not ordinary items. The equipment that he would developter would definitely be more powerful. If he was not careful and destroyed the results of Wu Mo''s research, it would not be enough to kill him a hundred times.


    "Good fellow, I can''t afford to offend you."


    Wu Mo could not help but smile when he saw Bald Eagle''s panicked expression.


    "Don''t worry, I''ve backed it up. Even if you take theputer away now, it won''t affect my project.


    "By the way, you haven''t told me why your leader sent you here."


    Wu Mo changed the subject.


    Bald Eagle began to look serious, and he immediately said, "Wu Mo, you should know that the Nine Provinces holds a cksmith''s Annual Exchange Conference every year, right?"


    Wu Mo nodded. He had been coveting a spot for a long time, so how could he not know?

 Chapter 260 The Exhibition

    "In fact, every time before the National Annual Exchange Conference in the Nine Provinces, each province would take the lead in gathering the internal talents and carry out a preview exhibition.


    "The exhibition also takes care of the excellent cksmiths who didn''t qualify for the exchange. Of course, since they''re all elite masters in this province, there won''t be anypetition in the exhibition. It''s just an exhibition where many researchers bring out their best equipment to have an exchange and familiarize themselves with each other while they discuss some of their forging experiences." Bald Eagle chuckled.


    "Since this year''s exhibition is going to be held in the capital, you can participate, Wu Mo. In addition, the military leaders are worried that there will be bad individuals causing trouble, so they''ve arranged for the two of us toe here and take care of security."


    Wu Mo nodded after hearing Bald Eagle''s exnation.


    He now understood the purpose of their visit, but ever since he entered the capital, he had never attended an exhibition for cksmiths, so he was not used to it.


    "There''s one more thing that Bald Eagle didn''t make clear. We still have another mission on our shoulders, which is to protect the White River province''s seeds who have the most potential to participate in the Nine Provinces'' exchange conference this year," Lone Wolf, who was standing at the side, immediately added.


    His voice was steady and calm, and there was no fluctuation in emotion on his face.


    "Lone Wolf is right. The exhibition will be held in the capital, and there will be many people at the venue. We have to protect you, Wu Mo."


    Bald Eagle blinked.


    Wu Mo nodded with a smile. "I understand. Please forgive me if I do anything wrong in the exhibition."


    "That''s a small matter. You''re a seeded contestant, representing White River. When the timees, you''ll shine at the Nine Provinces exchange conference and bring glory to our province."


    Bald Eagle stood up and chuckled.


    Under his dark green attire, the weapon at his waist shook slightly, and it instantly caught Wu Mo''s attention.


    It was wrapped in silk, which only revealed a corner of the weapon. Wu Mo suddenly appeared surprised.


    "Hey, hey, isn''t this the Spirit Wave Sword that I developed? It''s only been a few days. Has it already been produced?"


    Back then, Wu Mo had given the Spirit Wave Sword sample to Bald Eagle. It had only been a week, including the time it took for Bald Eagle to return and report the attack he had experienced on the road.


    There was no time to mass produce it.


    Seeing that Wu Mo was staring at the weapon on his waist, Bald Eagle subconsciously took a step back and smiled. "It''s not that fast. Mass production will take at least a month. The one I''m holding came from the joint work of a few master cksmiths in the military. Originally, this new weapon wasn''t allowed to be taken out. They only nned for it to be disyed."


    At this point, Bald Eagle grinned and showed off.


    "However, the military leader gave me one to protect you."


    Bald Eagle untied the Spirit Wave Sword that was hidden at his waist and undid the silk wrap.


    The Spirit Wave Sword was exactly the same as the one Wu Mo had forged. When he saw this, his mouth opened slightly while he stared at the equipment before him in surprise.


    In just a few days, the forging geniuses in the Military Department had perfectly replicated several pieces of equipment that he had developed. The effects and materials were exactly the same. With how capable they were, it was no wonder that people often said that seven-star forging masters often had the ability to reach the heavens!


    The Spirit Wave Sword contained a lot of modern science and technology. Even though he had already published a paper in the military''s system, it was still difficult to forge equipment with that alone.


    After all, it had taken him two weeks to make one after reading all the information.


    The difference was like earth and heaven.


    He sighed in his heart, and Wu Mo yearned for the seven-star rank even more as a result.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    When Lone Wolf heard Bald Eagle''s bragging and saw the majesticser sword in his hand, he only snorted.


    Although his expression did not change, he was still very envious. He had witnessed the Spirit Wave Sword''s power with his own eyes. Back when Bald Eagle brought the Spirit Wave Sword back, the leaders had immediately called for a meeting and disyed the Spirit Wave Sword''s third offensive effect in front of many people. They had even casually cut a stone block on the side before everyone''s eyes.


    It was considered extremely powerful.


    It was a pity that Bald Eagle was the first to be equipped with such a good item, while he could only watch.


    His eyes were dark as he stood at the side, pursing his lips and not saying a word.


    Wu Mo, who was standing opposite Lone Wolf, could not help but smile when he saw his envious expression.


    This hero who had fought bravely in the military headquarters was actually wearing a childish expression of envy.


    "Ahem, ahem, ever since Bald Eagle left, I''ve been bored, so I made another one. If you don''t mind, you can take it."


    As Wu Mo spoke, he snapped his fingers lightly. A white light shed in front of him, and the Plus version of a bronze Spirit Wave Sword with distinctive lines and a golden dragon carved on the surface appeared in his palm.


    After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and threw thetest version of the Spirit Wave Sword at Lone Wolf.


    After seeing thetest version of the Spirit Wave Sword, Lone Wolf''s expression was filled with shock. He did not expect this weapon to actually have a new and modified version.


    What Wu Mo said after that made him even more ecstatic, and the envious expression on his face turned into surprise!


    However, Wu Mo was giving away such a great treasure so casually. Lone Wolf had been through many battlefields and he had a calm mind, but even his heart started to beat faster. He immediately held the Spirit Wave Sword in his hand carefully.


    After seeing the Spirit Wave Sword''s domineering appearance and smooth lines, he was extremely satisfied.


    Not only did the new Spirit Wave Sword have the same effect as the original, but it also looked more beautiful. The dragon w above the button was not only beautiful, but it also prevented him from identally touching the button.


    It was like a piece of art.


    When Bald Eagle saw this, the pride in his heart was immediately washed away.


    But at the same time, he was happy that his brother had obtained a Spirit Wave Sword.


    "Tsk, tsk, what a treasure. With this, I can easily take on 100 Bald Eagles."


    Lone Wolf stroked theyers of spirit fragments on the sword hilt and praised the sword.


    Next to him, Bald Eagle was instantly displeased. "With your lousy martial arts, aside from having a little more strength, how can youpare to me?!


    "Heh, so, is using brute force the principle of advancing all techniques?"


    Lone Wolf tactically leaned back and looked at Bald Eagle with an expression that said, "You don''t know anything."


    "Hey, I have my temper too. We should go out and spar!"


    Bald Eagle rolled up his sleeves, looking like he was about to attack.

 Chapter 261 Chu Qingyans Plan

    Seeing the Military Department''s two main cultivators bickering like children, Wu Mo almost could not take it.


    "Hmph, I''m carrying a heavy responsibility now, so I don''t want to lower myself to your level. Wait until Ie back, and see if I can beat you into submission."


    Bald Eagle was so angry that he almost had high blood pressure.


    He still wanted to say something, but Wu Mo spoke first.


    "Stop bickering. I want to know when the exhibition''s going to start."


    Wu Mo''s words immediately interrupted their argument. In the face of confusion, Bald Eagle answered first, "The exhibition will be held in about five days. The hall is still being built."


    "Yes, but before the exhibition starts, we''ll keep you protected. But to be on the safe side, don''t go to ces with too many people," Lone Wolf said in a gentle tone.


    His eyes were as bright as the stars, full of respect.


    Seeing this, Bald Eagle pouted in disdain. "You''ve be so obedient after epting his gift. On the way here, didn''t you say that Wu Mo refused to pick up his phone because he looked down on you and that you wanted to teach him a lesson?" Bald Eagle told on him without hesitation.


    Lone Wolf suddenly had an awkward expression.


    "That''s because I didn''t know what was going on. Since Wu Mo''s busy in theboratory every day, what''s wrong with answering fewer calls?"


    After a moment, Lone Wolf straightened his neck and answered in a matter-of-fact tone.


    "Fine, I can''t win an argument with you. It''s not a waste for you to have thetest version of the Spirit Wave Sword. Don''t you have a very important mission? Now that you have thetest version of the sword, wouldn''t this task be as easy as turning your hand over?"


    Bald Eagle''s ttery made Lone Wolf feel a little better. Nheless, the two of them would still criticize each other from time to time. Wu Mo could tell that they had a great rtionship.


    "Alright, we won''t hold you up any longer. If you have any instructions during this time, you can contact me at any time."


    Bald Eagle smiled and waved his hand. Lone Wolf nodded at Wu Mo. Then, the two of them left theboratory together.


    Once they were gone, Wu Mo closed the door again.


    He sat down in front of theputer, and there seemed to be a glint in his eyes.


    Currently, the injury on Lone Wolf''s right leg was serious, and it affected his walking.


    Not only would this affect his flexibility, but his mobility would also be greatly reduced. It might be a little inappropriate to carry out a secret mission under such circumstances.


    Even if Lone Wolf had the new version of the Spirit Wave Sword, it would be difficult for him to face an unknown environment.


    Wu Mo sighed at the thought.


    When he first modified the Spirit Wave Sword, he had thought it perfect because he had put all of his effort into it.


    However, yesterday, he checked out the points store while he was bored. He was surprised to find that all the equipment of Epic grade and above that he had developed were all listed in the store.


    For example, the Invisibility Armor was being sold for 190,000 points in the system''s store.


    The equipment''s effects were not just a little better than that of the ones he had forged.


    Only then did Wu Mo realize how many mistakes he had made when he was making the Invisibility Armor.


    As for the Spirit Wave Sword, it was worth 240,000 points in the system''s store.


    Of course, Wu Mo did not buy it. Instead, he looked at the picture and its data, then made a replica.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Since he had enough materials and it was his second time casting, the experience helped him.


    Therefore, Wu Mo did not spend much time toplete it, only taking a few dozen hours or so.


    The appearance of thetest Spirit Wave Sword was copied from the image provided by the system, but there was still a difference in the attributes.


    Wu Mo finally realized that although equipment and weapons were divided into grades, they were also divided into different states.


    For example, the Spirit Wave Sword that he had forged could only be considered standard at best, but the improved one that the system sold had reached a perfect level.


    The difference in power allowed Wu Mo toprehend more information. At the same time, it inspired him to continue learning and improving his abilities!


    After saving the information on theputer, Wu Mo got up and entered the station in theboratory.


    There were all kinds of forging equipment in the room. He sat in the chair and immediately calmed his mind before he stepped into the forging space to resume his learning.


    The technology involved in the Three-dimensional Maneuver Device was tooplicated, and it was especially time-consuming to learn it. Wu Mo had only scratched the surface with his focused study over the past few days.


    If he wanted to forge the maneuvering gear in a short time, he had to seize every moment to read all the documents issued by the system and use the knowledge in them for his own use.


    All of this was not easy for Wu Mo, but despite the many difficulties ahead of him, he did not stop at all.


    Meanwhile, in the Red Heart province, which had the most advanced technology and forging...


    Chu Qingyan, who had met Wu Mo several times, was sitting in front of theputer at the core of the Research Department. He was waiting for an assistant to send the test data for his all-in-one armor.


    The one-piece armor was his masterpiece. It was integrated with cutting-edge modern technology, and it also contained spirit energy. It was simply sublime!


    Very quickly, strings of user data appeared on theputer interface. The EXP data of each dimension all seemed good as he looked at them, and the smile on his face widened.


    "Old Ge''s design blueprint is indeed precise. The all-in-one armor still has enough spirit energy even after more than ten days of continuous use. With this, everything is ready.


    "Once I wait for the exchange to start and disy the armor that I''ve forged, those country bumpkins from the other regions will definitely be shocked. My name, Chu Qingyan, will spread throughout the Nine Provinces!"


    As he muttered to himself, Chu Qingyan''s heart was suddenly filled with excitement.


    Too many things had happened during this period of time, and he had endured it for a long time.


    He had only experienced pain and suffering as he went from White River to Red Heart!


    The cause of it was that man called Wu Mo!


    As he thought about, a bone-chilling killing intent shed in the depths of Chu Qingyan''s eyes, and he could not help but clench his fists.


    Back then, he had lost to Wu Mo on the test field. Later on, to suppress Wu Mo, he took a risk and worked with an international arms smuggling organization to provide them with military weapons development. In return, they gave him an extremely high-quality blueprint!


    Thanks to the existence of this blueprint, he managed cast the one-piece armor so easily.


    It was a pity that when the matter was exposed, he was kicked out of the White River province, and hepletely lost face in front of all his colleagues!


    Fortunately, with the high-tech all-in-one armor, he came into contact with the Red Heart province''s governor, and he was finally brought there. He then sat on the throne of a senior researcher.


    Now, not only did he have two assistants at his beck and call, but his life was also equally extravagant and luxurious.

 Chapter 262 The Difference Between The Two

    The principal had even used an emergency approval channel, especially when he mentioned that he wanted to participate in the exchange conference. That allowed him to obtain the quota that other cksmiths would not get even if they fought desperately!


    Chu Qingyan stood up, picked up a steaming cup of coffee, and took a sip.


    He stared at the test image on theputer in a daze.


    At this moment, Chu Qingyan was enjoying his afternoon leisure time.


    Meanwhile, Wu Mo, whom he hated, had been studying all night to conceptualize the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    Only when his spirit energy was exhausted and he could no longer use potions did he hurriedly exit the forging space and fall asleep in his chair.


    One was extremely poor and indomitable in his studies, while one was enjoying the moment and was in high spirits because he had forged an integrated armor.


    The blueprint was as its name suggested.


    All the data and modules had been developed. Even the forging process, the possible problems, and the solutions were written clearly.


    As long as Chu Qingyan utilized his mental power to study it, the knowledge within the blueprint would be immediately converted for his own use.


    As though an immortal had patted his head, all his knowledge turned into a ball of light and poured forth.


    With a detailed blueprint, even a three-star cksmith could turn the equipment into reality, and the time required was extremely short.


    It was as if he had done his homework with an answer book. He was extremely rxed and at ease.


    However, if one wanted to truly turn an idea or n into reality, there were too many things to explore.


    It was precisely because he had to explore and solve every dimension by himself that forging equipment took so long.


    However, Chu Qingyan did not feel that there was any problem with himself. On the contrary, he felt that he was able to cast the one-piece armor because of his technique and ability.


    With the armor''s help, Chu Qingyan had transformed from a poor man who had been expelled to a senior researcher in the Red Heart province.


    Moreover, he had also obtained a spot in the exchange conference. His daily life was much better now than when he was at the fifth Research Department in the White River province.


    On top of that, whether it was in terms of geographical location or the future prospects of cksmiths, the Red Heart province was several levels better than the White River province.


    The difference was like the difference between cloud and mud. To be able to be a senior researcher at the Red Heart province''s Research Department, it was not an exaggeration to equate Chu Qingyan to a heavenly dragon with his current status and identity.


    Not only did the all-in-one armor be the stepping stone for him to enter the Red Heart province, but it also helped him to raise his status by quite a bit.


    It was killing two birds with one stone.


    ? At this time, Chu Qingyan felt that he had made a good choice developing a new destructive military weapon for the arms smuggling group!


    Otherwise, he would not have achieved his current status.


    Furthermore, it would not be long before the Red Heart province would issue him a citizenship certificate. The higher-ups also valued him very much because of the sess of the all-in-one armor test.


    Compared with the masses, he was already a winner in life.


    With that thought, Chu Qingyan''s face revealed a smirk.


    So far, he had already obtained all the signatures and seals for the cksmith exchange conference held by the Nine Provinces. His application had already entered the approval stage.


    The matter of him participating in the national exchange conference was already set in stone.


    After passing, he, Chu Qingyan, would be able to participate in the cksmith exchange conference with the other top researchers from the Red Heart province.


    Once that happened, the many researchers from the Red Heart province who attended the exchange would bring out high-tech equipment that would surely blind the eyes of the sheltered researchers from the other eight provinces.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Thinking of this, Chu Qingyan''s mouth curled into a sneer.


    "Wu Mo, Wu Mo, I bet you didn''t expect that after I was kicked out of the White River province, I, Chu Qingyan, not only didn''t sink into oblivion but even climbed to a higher position. At the year-end exchange, when you see the all-in-one armor I''ve forged, you''ll understand the gap between our strength," Chu Qingyan muttered to himself.


    He was looking forward to the conference that would be held in a few months.


    Back when he was at the fifth Research Department, he had thought of Wu Mo as a good opponent, but now it seemed that Wu Mo was not qualified at all.


    Whether it was in terms of forging skills or his ability to crawl and fight in real life, Wu Mo was not capable of being his opponent.


    For so-called ideals and ridiculous justice, Wu Mo did not want the Red Heart province''s great development prospects and opportunities.


    He was stuck with those rotten fish and shrimps in the White River province.


    He was close-minded and stubborn.


    Relying on his talent andprehension, he had openly yed tricks on others during the field test.


    Wu Mo was a pure piece of trash who could only rely on stepping on others to get a little attention from the leader.


    As Chu Qingyan dwelled on it, a hint of gloominess shed in his eyes.


    A few months ago, he and Wu Mo had both epted the task of improving the tenth-generation standardbat suit. Then, Xu Wuyue had put them together in an assault team.


    At that time, on the huge test field, several people had taken the test one by one as the leaders observed them closely.


    The improved armor that he had cast was extremely effective and Professor Liu had even shown him some appreciation.


    However, Chu Qingyan did not know what Wu Mo had done to create an equipment that could turn invisible. Of course, Chu Qingyan did not believe that Wu Mo had done it with his own skills.


    But he never got the chance to raise an objection back then.


    The limelight that he had received from the leader waspletely snatched away by Wu Mo.


    Even the opportunity to work with Professor Liu was ruined.


    As the thought festered in his mind, he gritted his teeth, and the veins on his forehead bulged.


    "Wu Mo, I hope you''ll get ready soon. I''ll see you at the exchange venue. Don''t let me down!" he said as his eyes shone.


    "When the timees, I''ll let you see the all-in-one armor that I''ve forged. It''ll definitely open your eyes and make you understand the difference in our strength."


    With a sneer, Chu Qingyan stood up and walked out of theboratory.


    Although he looked down on Wu Mo, he had topletely trample on him to dispel the hatred in his heart.


    Chu Qingyan closed the door behind him, and the entire research room immediately fell into silence.


    There were not only all kinds of sophisticated equipment in Chu Qingyan''s personal research room, but there was also a special area for fitness and entertainment.


    Compared with this luxuriousboratory, Wu Mo''s workce could be considered as poor.


    In addition to aputer, there were just a few instruments that could only perform rough tests in hisboratory.


    Meanwhile, the workstation in theboratory only consisted of a decent work table, a furnace, and casting equipment.


    There was no entertainment area or fitness area at all.


    Even so, Wu Mo''s work life, which was filled with studying and research every day, remained enjoyable.

 Chapter 263 Attack Of The Beasts

    To Wu Mo, studying a skill and ability thoroughly was more meaningful and satisfying than any entertainment.


    Looking at the model on theputer taking form, Wu Mo''s excitement and anticipation grew.


    The research and development of exoskeleton technology required a lot of skills as a foundation.


    Moreover, if he wanted to cast the prototype, not only would he need a workbench, but he would also need a lot of modern, cutting-edge equipment.


    Wu Mo did not have any of those.


    However, the general direction and forging ideas for the prototype were already in his mind.


    He specifically made it known that at least 13 modules were required to cast the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    Compared with making the three types of Spirit Wave Swords, this was simply on a hellish level of difficulty.


    Although Wu Mo was thirsty for knowledge and he had a much betterprehension than a regr person, he only knew very little about the many technical prerequisites.


    If he wanted to achieve all the required functions, he would need to do additional research and development.


    It was eight in the morning.


    Wu Mo woke up in the familiar studio.


    He shook his slightly drowsy head and looked around.


    It was the ce where he had stayed for a week.


    Aside from when it was time to eat, he would spend the rest of his time in the research room.


    Fortunately, Wu Mo was not afraid of loneliness. Instead, he enjoyed his current life.


    Of course, the enjoyment he was talking about just covered the mental aspect. After all, there was no ce to even lie down at night in theboratory, and life was not that rxing at all.


    Lately, he had been fully focused on learning skills.


    Even when he went out for a routine meal, he would still lower his head and think about how to implement three-dimensional gear.


    Seven days passed just like that, and Wu Mo did not go out at all except to eat.


    Each day, he lived a life that seemed very boring in the eyes of others.


    Wu Mo''s academic spirit and discipline also affected the other researchers on the entire floor.


    Before they truly understood Wu Mo, they had assumed that Wu Mo had only been forge such powerful equipment due to his talent alone.


    However, after spending seven days with him, they realized that their previous views and understanding of Wu Mo had just been to console themselves.


    What kind of genius was he?


    What was the point of having geniuses if hard work made all the difference?


    Even a genius like him worked hard every day, forgetting to eat or sleep, and devoted himself to research day and night.


    What right did these people have to use the word "genius" to deny the effort that others had put in for a long time?


    Therefore, after seeing Wu Mo''s character and the things he had done, they felt that they had lost.


    They finally understood that there was no such thing as an absolute genius in this world. The only way to be stronger was to work hard!


    In the quiet studio...


    "Ahhh."


    Wu Mo stretchedzily.


    He looked around with sleepy eyes before he stood up and opened the locked door.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Walking out of the quietboratory, Wu Mo took his toiletries to the only washroom on the entire floor.


    When he passed by the resting area in the middle, Wu Mo saw that only a small part of theboratory doors were open, and in the resting area, there was only one young man sitting on the couch.


    ording to the working hours there, the researchers would probably not arrive until nine o''clock.


    In the quiet washroom, Wu Mo looked at his tired self in the mirror. He grinned and immediately washed his face with cold water.


    He felt much more refreshed after washing up.


    The mental and physical fatigue from days of study were cast away at that moment.


    Just as he left the sink and was about to go downstairs to the cafeteria for lunch...


    His gaze suddenly shifted to a researcher who was resting on the couch not far away.


    Thetter was about 35 years old, and he had previously been at his prime. But the young man''s hair was a little sparse now, and he seemed to be balding.


    However, what attracted Wu Mo''s attention was not the his head, but the phone screen in his hand.


    "ording to the reports from the frontline, at 8.30 pmst night, a small spatial rift suddenly appeared on the ins three miles away from the high walls of the White River province''s border city, Lushui County. Hundreds of beasts rushed out from the rift and attacked Lushui County''s city defenses in what seemed to be a nned attack.


    "This beast attack has caused nearly 200 casualties, and simr incidents have been happening more frequently in recent months. We have yet to find a suitable solution.


    "Subsequent information will be provided by the local City Defense Army."


    On the mobile phone''s screen, rted headlines with a blue background came to an abrupt end, and what followed was footage of the beasts attacking the city!


    The footage provided to the news channel was slightly shaky, showing that the cameraman was also somewhat panicking at that time.


    At eight o''clock in the evening, the sky in Lushui County was already dark. Countless neon lights and dim street lights intertwined in the city, illuminating a grand asion under the flow of traffic and horses.


    However, all of this was just before the disaster.


    From the beginning of the scene, one could see that the photographer was shooting from a high-rise building in the city.


    On the street that the camera was aimed at, people were like ants, and cars were only a littlerger paper box.


    However, the peaceful scene was destroyed at the 13th second.


    A huge vibration suddenly rang out in the silent night sky.


    The camera jerked and soon pointed at the source of the sound.


    Right then, an extremely powerful force smashed through Lushui County''s three-meter-tall wall.


    The city wall was made of concrete, and it had a smooth body. Not only could it block most animals and fierce beasts, but the solid wall and the defense of its Tier 4 array could also block the full power of a five-star cultivator even if his attack spread in every direction!


    However, the city wall, which had such a high defensive power and was nearly 30 centimeters thick, was instantly destroyed by an unknown and strange force.


    The special ck stone bricks mixed with the steel bars were instantly sent flying, and screams echoed through the entire street amid dust and dirt.


    Many drivers were attracted by the loud noise, which eventually led to a car ident. The entire street was in a mess.


    The passers-by who were closer to the city wall looked in the smoke''s direction with fear!


    There seemed to be a human figure shing in the thick fog, but it was too vague to identify.


    In addition, the light was dim at night, so no one knew what had happened.


    "Rawr!"


    Just as everyone was discussing whether the pipeline had exploded or if there had been an ident, a deafening roar erupted.

 Chapter 264 The Huge Beast

    Then, in the thick fog, a huge monster covered in dark gray hair appeared before everyone!


    The monster''s height was roughly three meters, and its body was covered in grayish-brown hair. The monster''s limbs were strong and powerful, and scarlet light shot out of its eyes. Below its eyes, there was a bloody mouth that was big enough to swallow a basketball!


    The monster''s muscles were knotted, and it looked like a violent gori. However, the power and threat that it could unleash were more than 10 times stronger than that of an ordinary gori.


    It was a Rank 6 beast!


    The moment the rampaging beast appeared, the pedestrians on the street immediately fell into chaos.


    The drivers who were closer to the destroyed city wall stepped on the gas pedal and rushed into the distance without a care. They were afraid that they would be discovered by the huge monster and die on the spot.


    With the first person leading the way, the other drivers who were stuck on the road also followed suit and ignored the pedestrians on the street, driving away as fast as they could.


    The car''s exterior was hard, but the huge monster had managed to even break the city wall with one punch. The car was just a big matchbox to the beast. If they stayed in the same ce, they would only die.


    The moment the rampaging beast appeared, there were screams on the entire street.


    Countless pedestrians were run over by panicking drivers, and some were knocked to the ground. For a moment, the sound of shouting rang out.


    "Rawr!"


    When the huge beast saw the humans fleeing in all directions not far away, a brutal look filled its eyes.


    The monster instantly jumped more than 10 meters forth as if its body was like a bullet. The violent impact caused the ground to shake constantly, and the surrounding pedestrians lost their footing and fell to the ground. Seeing that the beast was about to eat people, those who were slightly farther away immediately took out their mobile phones and called the City Defense Army.


    Those who were closer and uninjured quickly got up and ran away as fast as they could.


    The beast became extremely violent. Seeing that it was surrounded by iron boxes, which blocked its vision, it waved its strong arms impatiently. A few cars nearby that had not been able to evacuate in time were sent flying a few meters away by the huge force.


    The two-ton car was like a toy in the hands of the beast, and the drivers who were thrown out quickly fell unconscious and bled out.


    A few pedestrians not far away were hit by the flying cars, and they instantly stopped breathing.


    In the face of a three-meter-tall, muscr beast, ordinary individuals did not have the ability to protect themselves.


    Other than running for their lives, there was nothing else they could do!


    A woman in her 30s did not manage to run in time, and the beast picked her up. Before everyone''s gaze, she was torn into pieces without hesitation.


    A life was gone in the blink of an eye, and everyone''s fear became greater as a result.


    Even the photographer, who was standing in front of a high-rise building''s window 100 meters away, was breathing rapidly.


    The ferocious beast was violent and bloodthirsty, and no one could stop its advancement.


    In less than a minute, several people had lost their lives in the mouth of the beast, and the number of indirect deaths had exceeded 100.


    However, as a prefecture-level city, Lushui County had a surveince system in ce. The moment the city wall was destroyed, the City Defense Army discovered it in just three minutes.


    Countless military vehicles carrying cultivators rushed in the fierce beast''s direction.


    At the same time, hundreds of smaller ferocious beasts crawled in through the hole in the city wall.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Although the strength of those beasts was not as great as that of the violent ape-like monster, they were still extremely threatening to humans.


    Seeing the monsters and fierce beasts swarming toward the street not far away, the passersby who did not retreat in time had a touch of despair in their eyes.


    The monsters were all ferocious, with their bloody mouths open. Even the weakest had the strength of a four-star cultivator.


    Just as the hundreds of ferocious beasts were about to start a massacre, a thunderp boomed and instantly, half of the sky was illuminated by this huge lightning!


    A dazzling white lightning bolt struck, turning a beast that was trying to attack a human into ashes.


    Immediately after, the captain of Lushui County''s City Defense Army jumped down from the buildings and rushed toward the beast tide like a Grim Reaper.


    The ferocious beasts were grotesquely shaped, and although they were incredibly bloodthirsty, they possessed a high level of intelligence.


    When they saw that theirpanions had been killed by the captain with a single blow, those fierce beasts immediately scattered like birds and beasts. Each and every one of them ran away into the distance.


    The City Defense Army''s captain, who was about 40 years old, shot down like a cannonball, and the Thunder de in his hand instantly killed two beasts.


    He then promptly chased after the other beasts not far away.


    From the moment he received the notice, he had using up his spirit energy to travel at the fastest speed.


    Finally, he arrived at the scene before the situation reached its worst.


    However, things were still beyond his expectations. He had initially thought that it was just a vicious beast causing trouble. It might have hidden somewhere after the rift previously appeared, hence it was not killed by the cultivators in the battle area.


    He did not expect there to be hundreds of ferocious beasts at the edge of the dew!


    It was obvious that a space-time crack must have appeared not far from Lushui County.


    Seeing the ferocious beasts attacking the pedestrians in a frenzy, he felt anxious. He immediately circted his spiritual power and attacked with his saber.


    However, it was impossible for him to stop the killing of hundreds of beasts by himself.


    Seeing the powerless pedestrians being pounced on and torn to pieces by the beasts, the captain of the City Defense Army was so angry that his eyes were about to pop out. The spirit energy in his body poured out as if it was free.


    Unfortunately, as a prefecture-level city, even Lushui County''s strongest City Defense Army captain was only of an early six-star rank.


    Although he could escape unscathed from the encirclement of hundreds of Rank 5 beasts and even take care of most of them, the beasts were not giving him the chance to kill them one by one. They were all running in different directions, making it difficult to even pursue them.


    The situation was getting out of control. If the monsters escaped into the city, it would be even more impossible to kill them!


    Just as his expression changed drastically, the City Defense Army''s military vehicles carrying the cultivators finally arrived.


    When the military vehicles entered the street where the incident happened, the drivers saw the ferocious beasts that were attacking the pedestrians on the street, and their faces were filled with horror.


    "F*ck, I''ll kill you animals!"


    When the cultivators on the vehicles saw the man-eating beasts on the streets, their faces turned red, the killing intent in their eyes almost materializing!


    Without waiting for the captain''s orders, the cultivators immediately jumped out of the window and charged at the fierce beasts.

 Chapter 265 A Bloody Battle

    A cultivator held a giant ax and swung it the moment the beast pounced.


    The sharp de of the ax and the great strength of the cultivator directly cut the vicious beast in half. Dark red blood instantly sprayed all over the ground.


    One could even see the traces of a human''s finger bone in the beast''s shed stomach!


    The hatred between humans and beasts would not rest until one of them was dead. It had been that way for a long time. After seeing theirpatriots being killed, the cultivators all fought the beasts as if they did not care about their lives.


    The appearance of the City Defense Army''s many cultivators finally gave the pedestrians a chance to escape.


    With the help of the support personnel, many injured and even weak-legged pedestrians were pulled away from the street.


    On the other side, after the City Defense Army''s captain noticed that the small beasts were being held back by his men, he immediately turned his gaze to the huge gori that was still chasing the pedestrians crazily.


    The grayish-brown fur on the huge monster''s chest was now stained red by the blood of its many victims!


    At this moment, not far away, a woman carrying a girl was struggling to escape from an overturned car.


    The woman''s head was bleeding from the broken ss, and she had many bruises all over her body.


    She dug herself out with great difficulty and was just about to escape with her daughter, who was only a few years old. However, she was extremely unlucky as a huge man-eating beast targeted her.


    Zhou Peng, the head captain of Lushui County City Defense Army, immediately activated his long saber with spirit energy when he noticed that the beast was about to attack the mother and daughter. A huge thunderbolt appeared again and struck the back of the huge beast at lightning speed.


    The intense power of lightning gushed out of the body of the ferocious beast with gray fur. The electric light that could paralyze most creatures did not have the effect it should have on the beast. Instead, it triggered more violence.


    The beast did not care about anything else. It charged at the mother and daughter who were running away. It was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it had arrived in front of them.


    Soon, the beast raised its huge arm and smashed it down.


    The circumference of its arm was more than 1.5 meters, and the huge force that erupted from its knotted muscles would turn the mother and daughter into minced meat in an instant if they were hit!


    Seeing this situation, the head captain of the city defense Army, Zhou Peng, was so angry that his eyes were about to pop out!


    With such a long distance between them, even if he used all the spirit energy in his body, it would be impossible for him to make it. In addition, the huge beast''s punch was so powerful that even he could not withstand it!


    Seeing that the mother and daughter were about to die, Zhou Peng knew that he could not make it in time. Despite that., he quickened his pace.


    Boom!


    The head captain, Zhou Peng, heard a loud noise, and his eyes widened.


    More than 10 meters away, the ce where the huge beast was standing was filled with smoke and dust. The loud noise was apanied by a violent shake, causing the asphalt road to copse by half a meter!


    Just when he thought that the mother and daughter were dead for sure, a green light suddenly shed before him. Then, a young man with short xen hair appeared in front of him.


    The woman who had been attacked by the beast was on his shoulder!


    "My daughter! My daughter!"


    The woman''s vision blurred, and in the blink of an eye, she was on a strange man''s back. Her arms felt empty, and she instantly appeared to be in a panic.


    "Don''t worry, your daughter''s fine."


    Bald Eagle put the woman down and returned the little girl to her.


    "Hurry up and leave! This ce isn''t safe!" he urged.


    The woman nodded gratefully and ran away in a hurry with her daughter in her arms.


    The head captain, Zhou Peng, stared at the young man standing before him with wide eyes. He failed to react in time.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Bald Eagle turned around and looked at the beast that jumped out of the smoke. An extreme coldness slowly filled his eyes.


    "B*stard, if I don''t kill you today, I can''t avenge the innocentmoners that you''ve killed!" he said viciously.


    The beast that ran out of the smoke and dust immediately locked its scarlet eyes on the young man who was more than 10 meters away when it saw that its target had escaped.


    Earlier, when its punchnded, it had already smelled the man''s scent. Now that the beast had seen its prey escape its hands, anger filled its small brain.


    Witnessing the situation, the head captain, Zhou Peng finally reacted. He looked at the young man''s back and felt the surging spirit energy in his body. His face suddenly turned pale.


    The young man seemed to be around 30 years old, but the spirit energy in his body was above his own. Coupled with the xen hair that was very representative of his appearance, Zhou Peng made an educated guess.


    The one who had saved the mother and daughter from the beast''s fist must be the famous Bald Eagle!


    Just as he was about to express his thanks and ask Bald Eagle to cooperate with him in killing the fierce beast...


    A whooshing sound suddenly came from the distance.


    "Die!"


    A loud shout rang out, and Zhou Peng immediately fixed his eyes on its source.


    In the pitch-ck sky, a figure fell from the sky like a meteor.


    A red beam of light flickered in front of the individual''s body, just like a lightsaber that often appeared in movies!


    The vicious beast that was standing by the ruins quickly discovered the cultivator who was attacking too. After it roared with an angry expression, it instantly stomped its legs, and itsrge body shot toward the cultivator in the air like a cannonball.


    When Lone Wolf, who was in the air, saw this, his eyes instantly lit up!


    He waved the Spirit Wave Sword in his hand with all his might, and the beast also threw a punch at him. The two forces of energy collided, and theser beam that the Spirit Wave Sword shot out cut the beast''s huge arm straight away.


    Just as Lone Wolf was about to change the Spirit Wave Sword''s trajectory and cut off the beast''s head...


    The huge beast waved its fist in pain and anger.


    Lone Wolf did not have any defensive equipment and dared not take the punch head-on, so he swiftly turned his waist and shifted a little.


    The huge beast took this opportunity to lunge forward.


    Bang!


    The beastnded on the street like a bird with a broken wing. Bald Eagle was already prepared. He immediately activated his Spirit Wave Sword and stabbed it.


    After it saw the light beam, the fear in the beast''s heart prevented it from touching it again, and the beast fled into the depths of the city.


    It leapt and immediately took off into the distance several dozen meters away.


    Bald Eagle''s sword missed. Seeing that the beast had already disappeared into the depths of the city, he decided to n for the long term.


    As soon as Lone Wolfnded, he wanted to give chase without hesitation, but Bald Eagle quickly stopped him.


    Of course, all of this happened out of the camera''s range. Noticing that the beast had escaped, the cameraman standing on the tall building subconsciously moved the camera. Thest scene was the scene of the huge beast jumping into an alley.


    The figure of the beast in the dark moved and disappearedpletely in just a few breaths.


    Obviously, this beast had already infiltrated the city, and it was now more difficult to find it than to ascend to the heavens!

 Chapter 266 Different Decisions

    The screen flickered slightly, and in the blink of an eye, it had switched back to the blue background of the news report. The news anchor, who was dressed in a formal suit, said with a serious expression, "Currently, the damaged city walls of Lushui County are being repaired as soon as possible. The local City Defense Army has also organized hundreds of people to increase the intensity of patrol security by three times.


    "Here, I would like to remind the personnel of Lushui County and the surrounding viges to pay attention to their own safety. Please refrain from going to ces with little surveince such as the jungle and barren mountains in the next few days.


    "That''s all for this news report. Next..."


    On the phone screen, a list of staff members shed from the bottom to the top. After the news broadcast ended, the researcher realized that Wu Mo was standing next to him.


    "Wu Mo, why are you here so early?"


    The young researcher immediately stood up and spoke in a flustered tone.


    He looked at Wu Mo with a rattled expression, feeling guilty as if he had been caught cking off at work.


    "I didn''t leave yesterday."


    Wu Mo smiled and immediately sat down on the couch.


    "When did this happen? Why don''t I know about this?"


    Wu Mo pointed at the phone screen, where the news anchor was sorting out the information, and probed curiously.


    The young researcher heaved a sigh of relief when he realized that Mr. Wu was not reprimanding him.


    "It''s about what happenedst night. The ce that was attacked by monsters is called Lushui County. It''s one of the more remote cities in the White River province.


    "I don''t know why, but there have been many incidents of monsters attacking the city, and space-time cracks have also appeared frequently. It''s really unsettling."


    The young researcher sighed.


    Wu Mo nodded slightly. Once a spatial crack was opened, hundreds of monsters would rush out.


    It was nothing special, but these monsters seemed to have a purpose. They crossed three to five kilometers and attacked Lushui County, which was rare.


    The giant gori in the previous scene, especially, was not only extremely strong, but it was also so fast that it was almost impossible to see clearly.


    In just a few breaths, it had covered a distance of several hundred meters. Even the head captain of the City Defense Army could not catch up, let alone the ordinary members.


    Even with a rough estimate, the gori''s strength was at least above Rank 6.


    Such a fierce beast would usually just appear in medium-sized andrge-scale war zones. Lushui County was merely an ordinary city, so it was particrly strange for a Rank 6 monster to materialize there.


    He could only hope that the local City Defense Army would be able to settle the matter at the soonest. After all, even the cultivators on the front line would have to spend a lot of effort to deal with a Rank 6 beast in the war zone, more so in a restricted city area.


    If they had to gather the City Defense Army to surround and kill the beasts, they needed to evacuate the residents in advance.


    If he could not settle this quickly, the beast would only cause more and more deaths for no reason.


    That was not what anyone wanted to see.


    Wu Mo looked away and went downstairs to have breakfast. He had not been getting much good rest recently, so his work and rest schedule had be a bit chaotic. The reason he could maintain good spirit every day was the delicious and nutritious food in the Research Department''s cafeteria.


    When they arrived at the cafeteria, Wu Mo ordered some food and sat down in a corner.


    While waiting for his meal, Wu Mo took out his phone to browse the Research Department''s forum to see if they had developed any new technology.<novelnext></novelnext>


    At this moment, he suddenly noticed that there were two unread messages on his phone.


    A little stunned, he subconsciously opened it and realized that it was a message from Bald Eagle.


    The message had been sent at six o''clockst night, when he was still immersed in his research, so he did not notice it.


    He nced at the content of the message. The general meaning was, the military had found an abnormal fluctuation of spiritual power around Lushui County, and they had sent Bald Eagle, as well as Lone Wolf, who were not far away, to investigate.


    They would be back tomorrow afternoon.


    After seeing the two words "Lushui County," Wu Mo frowned because he realized that he had learned about the beast attack there through the news joint broadcast.


    What he did not expect was that Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf had actually gone to that ce in advance.


    After understanding the matter, Wu Mo heaved a sigh of relief. With the two generals of the special forces, Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf, in Lushui County, this would definitely be resolved quickly.


    While he was thinking, a burst of fragrance hit his face, directly interrupting his thoughts.


    Once he saw the delicious-looking food in front of him, Wu Mo immediately picked up his chopsticks and ate.


    ...


    At the same time, Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf stood at the door outside Lushui County''s City Defense Command Station. Both of them looked indignant as if they had a small conflict.


    "Great... A Rank 6 Gray Howler is hiding in such arge county city. Even if we send out another 100 people, we won''t be able to find it."


    Lone Wolf''s face was cold, and when he said this, he sounded like he had already given up.


    Bald Eagle snorted. "I didn''t let you chase it because your leg''s injured. You can''t do high-intensity exercises, and you need to rest. Who knew that you wouldn''t know what''s good for you and me me for the beast''s escape?


    "Besides, that Rank 6 Gray Howler''s flesh has been tempered to the extreme, and it can travel up to 100 meters in two seconds. Even if I ask you to catch up, you wouldn''t be able to!"


    The autumn wind was blowing in the courtyard, and as Lone Wolf looked at the bare trees, he said, "We''ll only know if we can catch up after we make a move. How can you be the leader of Eagle Team if you have such unnecessary fears?"


    Seeing that Lone Wolf was still being stubborn, Bald Eagle got so angry that heughed.


    "So what if you managed to catch up to him? Can you defeat that Rank 6 Gray Howler alone? Not to mention, your leg''s injured. You might not be able to take down that beast alone even if you were at your peak!


    "When the Gray Howler starts a riot in the city and innocents are killed or injured, can you bear the responsibility alone?"


    Bald Eagle''s words made Lone Wolf, who was standing with his hands behind his back, silent for a few seconds.


    His face was a little red as he straightened his neck. "If you''re not blind, you should have seen what happenedst night. I used the Spirit Wave Sword to cut off the Gray Howler''s right arm vertically. If I had a chance at that time, I could have even cut off its head!"


    Toward the end of his sentence, a gloating look shed across Lone Wolf''s face.


    It was as if he was saying, "Look at how useless you are, not even daring to give chase. I can cut off the arm of a Rank 6 beast although I''m injured."


    However, Bald Eagle ignored what Lone Wolf said. In his opinion, Lone Wolf was simply twisting words and acting willfully.


    If he had not stepped in to stop him yesterday, things would have gotten even more serious.

 Chapter 267 The Upcoming Exhibition

    "Don''t try to show off. Our main task now is to protect Wu Mo''s safety. After the exhibition starts, we have a secret mission to carry out. If you get injured here, who else canplete the follow-up mission?"


    Bald Eagle''s tone softened as he looked at the gray sky in the distance.


    Lone Wolf shook his head and did not say anything.


    Although he felt that Bald Eagle had made the wrong decision, Bald Eagle was clearly superior in terms of overall vision and battlemand.


    Lone Wolf acquiesced to the former''s next n as well.


    The two of them turned around and entered themand room. They continued toe up with strategies based on the problems that Lushui County was currently facing. They nned to expel the Rank 6 Gray Howlers with the least coteral damage, or kill them on the spot.


    However, since the two of them were injured, dealing with the Rank 6 Gray Howlers would not be an easy thing despite having a strategy.


    Three days had passed by the time they were done with the matters in Lushui County.


    In those three days, Wu Mo continued to maintain a two-way lifestyle.


    Normally, his work and rest would be carried out in theboratory. Wu Mo would only go down to the cafeteria during his three meals.


    The other departments on the same floor had seen his hard work for so many days, and their admiration for Wu Mo grew.


    It was difficult for someone who already had such achievements to maintain prolonged passion for academia.


    Even ordinary graduate students who had just joined the Research Department could not devote themselves to work for 10 days in a row.


    However, Wu Mo had done it.


    Also, it seemed like he was going to continue since he basically never stepped out to rest.


    asionally, he woulde out for a breath of fresh air. Then, he would go back in.


    Every time Wu Mo came out, although he would be physically and mentally exhausted, there would be a trace of passion in his eyes. It looked like he was still in a state of excitement as if he had discovered a new continent.


    This persistent spirit in academic research made everyone sigh in admiration.


    Wu Mo had gained a lot of new knowledge from his research during this period. He had also made some progress in the research of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, and everything was developing step by step.


    The work was done. So, he began to refine the values of each module, as well as the connection problems that only needed to be considered during assembly.


    When he was developing the Invisibility Armor, Wu Mo had some problems with the joints.


    This time, he made a list of all the things that needed to be done, and hepleted each task seriously.


    Although his life was boring, every time he saw the information in the documents decreasing, he thought about the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear. It would likely be realized in the next month.


    The anticipation and excitement in his heart were beyond words.


    After so many days of research, he could clearly sense that his forging skills had also increased.


    Perhaps after the year-end exchange, he would have a breakthrough!


    Three days had passed, and the sun was shining brightly in the morning.


    Wu Mo was still writing in front of theputer about his understanding of technology and the answers to the challenges that came with the maneuvering gear.


    He nned to wait until the three-dimensional gear waspletely developed, then organize the data and publish a paper.


    He had to achieve a technological breakthrough and achieve his goal.


    During this time, he even took some time to contact Liao Dongcheng''s superior.


    Of course, he did not have the leader''s phone number. He had to ask Academician Xu for the details.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Wu Mo briefly exined his current research to Liao Dongcheng, who was surprised to hear Wu Mo''s thoughts.


    He expressed on the spot that if the solution was sessfully developed, he had to be invited to take a look.


    As for Wu Mo''s application form, Liao Dongcheng never forgot about it.


    He was just waiting for Wu Mo''s third technological breakthrough paper to be published, and he immediately submitted the application form that he had already drafted.


    Liao Dongcheng''s superior also told him some unusual things about the current situation, such as the frequent appearance of space-time rifts and the beasts surrounding the city.


    However, their discussion did not reach any conclusion. Liao Dongcheng''s superior also told him to focus on research and that the military would take care of the security aspect.


    Although the phone call onlysted less than 10 minutes, Wu Mo was very grateful to General Liao Dongcheng. As a military leader in the war zone, with the rank of brigadier general, he was willing to do such things for a second lieutenant.


    He did not act high and mighty in the slightest.


    At this moment, Wu Mo was still in front of hisputer, writing down what he had learned so far.


    Suddenly, there was a series of urgent knocks on the door.


    Wu Mo immediately got up to check. When he opened the door, he found Lone Wolf and Bald Eagle, who had gone to Lushui County a few days ago, standing outside.


    The two of them had changed into clean military uniforms, and both of them looked a little tired.


    Wu Mo was slightly taken aback. When he saw the two of them, he immediately said, "How did you guys get here? How''s the situation in Lushui County?"


    "We''ve already driven that beast away. The great array that covers the city walls has already been repaired, and it''ll continue to strengthen the city''s defense!"


    Bald Eagle was the first to speak. He then peeked into theboratory and suspiciously asked, "You''re not busy with anything right now, are you?"


    Wu Mo shook his head subconsciously, not knowing why Bald Eagle had asked this question.


    Hearing Wu Mo''s reply, Bald Eagle heaved a sigh of relief. "That''s good. The White River province''s exhibition in the capital will begin at 1.00 pm. We have to leave now or we''ll bete."


    Wu Mo was dumbfounded when he heard the urgency in Bald Eagle''s tone.


    "Didn''t they decide on the time for the exhibition five days in advance? How could it be toote?"


    "Well... we were going to leave at 10.00 am, but Academician Xu said that you''ve been working too hard recently, so he wanted you to rest a little more," Bald Eagle said helplessly.


    Lone Wolf stood at the side with a straight face. Upon closer inspection, one could see that there was a smile at the corner of his mouth, as though he wanted to see Bald Eagle in an awkward situation.


    "Alright, this is not the time to rest either. Hurry up and go."


    Wu Mo went back to save the thesis on hisputer and quickly left theboratory with Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf.


    The other researchers on the floor saw the three of them leave, and they could not help but take another look.


    Before long, the three of them left the fifth Research Department in a camouge military vehicle.


    The exhibition venue was more than 50 kilometers away from the Research Department, in the other end of Jingdu.


    The chauffeur drove on the smooth road quietly.


    Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf surrounded Wu Mo on both sides.


    "Do you have to be that cautious?" Wu Mo could not help but ask.


    The two of them had seemingly entered a state of vignce, and they were ready to attack at any time.


    "You don''t know this, but when I left with the lightsaber, I was attacked by those inhuman groups. We shouldn''t lower our guard at any time, especially now that the exhibition is around the corner. Those inhuman groups will likely make a second move," Bald Eagle exined as he looked out the window.

 Chapter 268 The Grand Exhibition

    "Wu Mo, don''t worry. Even if there are thousands of soldiers and horses along the way, I, Lone Wolf, will definitely send you there safely!" Lone Wolf, who was sitting on the right, added.


    "Thank you," Wu Mo said.


    He was a little helpless, but he did not know much about these things and did not intend to interfere with the two.


    It did not take long for the military vehicle to get off the highway and drive into the eightne road.


    When they set off, it was past 11.00 am. By the time they were about to reach their destination, it was already close to 1.00 pm.


    The view of the road was wide, and there were almost no vehicles around.


    When he noticed that the military vehicle had slowed down, he immediately looked out the window.


    A square-shaped building not far away appeared in his field of vision.


    Outside the building was also a square made of gray tiles. There were flower beds, rockery, pavilions, and fountains in the square. Even inte autumn, the scenery was still beautiful.


    At this moment, the square was surrounded by a one-meter-high fence, and countless city guards in work uniforms were maintaining order and patrolling the area.


    There was a sentry post every five steps and a sentry every ten steps.


    Soon, the car entered the square outside Spirit Domain Exhibition Hall.


    A team of city guards stopped the car. After checking all of the passengers'' documents, they were allowed to pass.


    Spirit Domain Exhibition Hall covered tens of thousands of square meters, and it was filled with materials and equipment rted to the restoration of spirit energy.


    There were many guests on normal days, and many ordinary people wanted to learn about things rted to spirit energy. An exhibition hall like that was the most suitable ce.


    On this day, Spirit Domain Exhibition Hall had transformed into an exhibition for cksmiths of the White River province.


    On the way to the exhibition, Wu Mo saw many military vehicles entering the square as well.


    After the driver parked the car, Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf immediately brought Wu Mo to the venue.


    Even in such a ce, the two of them were still on high alert.


    That way, if something happened, they would be able to react at the first moment.


    Soon, the group arrived at the entrance of the exhibition. After a strict identity check, the three of them pushed the door open and entered the venue!


    The moment they did so, the space inside opened up before them.


    The exhibition site was the size of a football field.


    In the exhibition hall, there were thousands of audience seats around, and there were many disy shelves at the center, disying many of the outstanding works in their long river of history.


    Among them were embossed murals that depicted the century-long history of spirit energy restoration, as well as the photo wall of heroes who had made outstanding contributions to the Nine Provinces.


    Using holographic technology, manymon beasts, battle experience halls, and rted sculptures, bronze equipment, and miniature figurines were projected on the open space.


    Of course, these facilities were targeted at tourists who did not understand the environment of spirit energy restoration.


    After the military confirmed that this ce would be the exhibition hall, they had also transported a lot of ck technology equipment for cksmiths.


    This included equipment material analyzers, AI equipment, and equipment for smart inspection.


    However, the most surprising thing was a product that resulted from the fusion of modern technology and spirit energy recovery.


    It was a jet aircraft that could carry 80 kilograms! One click, and its beam detector could scan the internal structure of an enemy building.


    There were all sorts of ck technology that were unheard of by most people.


    Of course, in addition to these, there were also many master cksmiths from the White River province and outstanding researchers from various prefecture-level cities.


    There were hundreds of researchers from White River who hade to attend the exhibition, and thousands of patrol teams were in charge of security.


    From this, once could see how much importance the White River province''s Military Department ced on the exhibition.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Even many academicians, principals, and other big shots of the Research Departments were present. It was rare to see these big shots on normal days.


    To Wu Mo, participating in this exhibition would only be beneficial.


    Soon, the receptionist led Wu Mo and the other two to their seats.


    Wu Mo was curious as he looked at some old men with white hair not far away.


    He could tell from their eyes that they had strong spiritual power.


    They were at least six-star cksmiths.


    However, he, Bald Eagle, and Lone Wolf did not know any of them.


    As Wu Mo took his seat, he saw the receptionist turn and leave. He curiously asked, "Excuse me, other than the researchers from the various cities, who else will being to the exhibition?"


    Wu Mo was just curious, so he asked straightforwardly.


    After the receptionist nced at the two powerful martial artists beside Wu Mo, he contemted for a moment and sensed that they must be on an important mission. He immediately said, "My Lord, apart from the cksmiths from the various cities, there will be many rted leadersing.


    "For example, the head of the City Defense Army, Major General Xia Chengtian, the director of the Hunter Bureau, Lord Bai Li, and the president of the cksmith Guild, Major General Song Yi.


    "On the military side, there''s also the chairman of the North China''s First Military Region, Lieutenant General Lu Yuansheng, Regiment Commander Yang Lu, and Brigade Commander..."


    The receptionist read out the names of all the leaders who wereing.


    Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf, who were sitting beside Wu Mo, started to breathe rapidly when they heard the names.


    Good Lord, even General Lu would be there!


    Many people would never get to see a lieutenant general in their lifetime. Many major generals rarely left the military region either, so it was a miracle to see so many of them at once.


    Wu Mo''s heart beat faster as he listened to the list.


    He had originally thought that the exhibition was just for them to get to know each other, but now it seemed that he had underestimated it.


    The receptionist noticed that the three of them were silent, and he suddenly said with some difficulty, "My Lord, I don''t know the elders on your right, but I guess their not regr individuals."


    "Oh... I know. You can get back to your work now."


    Bald Eagle was the first to react. He waved his hand and sent the man away.


    "Tsk, tsk, I''ve never even seen so many leaders at a military meeting. If the exhibition is so grand, won''t we also see leaders of the general level at the exchange conference?"


    Lone Wolf sighed.


    Wu Mo was also deeply affected.


    However, Bald Eagle was different.


    "There are still a few months before the national exchange conference in the Nine Provinces, but it''s not too early for the state exhibition to be held. The purpose of this exhibition is to disy the White River province''stest research results. It can be considered a military parade for our own people.


    "It will let all the cksmiths and workers in the entire province have a better understanding of the province''s strength.


    "So, it''s not a surprise that so many big leaders areing."


    Bald Eagle''s face was calm, and Wu Mo could not help but give him a sidelong nce.


    "Let''s go down and take a look before the exhibition officially starts."


    Looking at the ck-tech instruments that were constantly running, Wu Mo could not help but be curious.


    The two of them were there to protect Wu Mo''s safety, so they naturally would not leave him.


    Soon, the three of them arrived at the center of the venue. Looking at the embossed disys and the faces and deeds of past heroes, Wu Mo sighed in his heart.

 Chapter 269 Professor Tans Worries

    The world changed over 100 years, and only true heroes and meritorious officials could leave their marks in the long line of history.


    Over that period, the big shot who had personally forged the Divine Weapon had left his name in history, and he was worshipped by everyone.


    As for those who had mediocre talent and were unwilling to work hard, they would have nothing left not long after.


    The three of them soon arrived at the center of the exhibition. Not only did they see many high-tech instruments, but they also saw many big shots who usually did not demonstrate their talents.


    Wu Mo had learned about these familiar faces through the television.


    He never thought that he would be able to see them with his own eyes one day.


    These leaders all had a few six-star and above cultivators protecting them. The few of them spoke with fervor and assurance, and there was a kind of disapproving air in their movements.


    Looking at the shiny epaulets on their shoulders, Wu Mo felt a sense of longing. Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf, who were standing beside him, also looked at them in awe.


    A few minutester, Wu Mo passed through the crowd and arrived where the equipment was disyed.


    The instruments there were products of mixing modern technology and the field of forging.


    Not only did they retain high-tech functions, but they also achieved a level that was not possible in the field of science and technology.


    For example, modern technology had solved all the flying difficulties in a single aircraft. The controls were easy to understand, and it could carry up to several hundred kilograms.


    The only disadvantage was the fuel energy supply. Traditional gasoline could not support such a huge consumption. Even with a specialpressed fuel pack, it could notst more than 20 kilometers.


    In an environment with restored spirit energy, many materials with great power were created.


    Whether it was an Origin Stone or the melting of materials to form a new energy stone, the spirit energy within them was extremely powerful.


    One only needed to modify the aircraft''s engine a little and it would be perfect.


    The single-soldier aircrafts today were not only small in size, but the soldiers no longer needed to carry thick fuel packs. Most importantly, the aircraft could travel up to about 1,000 kilometers. Moreover, the altitude limit had increased from the original 100 meters to more than 500 meters.


    Many pieces of equipment and cars could note close in terms of the mobility provided by such an aircraft.


    However, the aircraft had no protection at all. If it was attacked by hot weapons, it would be a living target in the sky.


    Nevertheless, Wu Mo believed that in the future, these high-tech weapons would continue to be improved on until they became mainstream equipment on the battlefield!


    Wu Mo''s horizons broadened following his observation.


    Although the White River province was rtively backward in technology and forgingpared with the other regions, it had still made a lot of progress over a long time. If it could continue to develop, the gap between it and the other regions should be smaller and smaller.


    Just as Wu Mo fell deep in thought, Bald Eagle touched his shoulder.


    Wu Mo raised his head and was about to say something, but he saw Academician Xu standing in the crowd and chatting with someone.


    "As expected, Academician Xu is here."


    Once he spotted an acquaintance, the little restraint in Wu Mo''s heart disappeared.


    Academician Xu, who was standing a few meters away, also noticed Wu Mo and Bald Eagle''s presence.


    He immediately smiled and waved, while Wu Mo quickly walked forward. When he approached Academician Xu, he realized that Professor Tan was also there.


    "Hello, Professor Tan."<novelnext></novelnext>


    Wu Mo raised his hand and saluted. Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf immediately greeted him as well.


    Professor Tan smiled and said, "Hahaha, what a coincidence. We were just talking about you."


    "Huh? Me? I haven''t done anything recently, have I?" Wu Mo asked doubtfully.


    He had been in theboratory for more than 10 days. Aside from eating, he had been immersed in work.


    Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf, who were standing behind Wu Mo, were also looking at the two elders with respect.


    Xu Wuyue and Professor Tan were core figures in the Fifth Research Department. In terms of military positions, only the leaders of the Military Departments could reach their level.


    "I heard that you''ve been developing new equipment recently. Is that right?"


    Professor Tan was in his 50s. He had many wrinkles on his face and a slightly hunched body, but he was full of energy. When it came to strength, only Professor Liu couldpare to him.


    Wu Mo dared not ignore Professor Tan''s question and immediately answered, "I''ve been nning to forge new equipment recently, but I''ve only made some progress these few days. It''ll take a long time toplete it.


    After hearing Wu Mo''s humble words, Professor Tan smiled and said, "He stayed in theboratory for more than 10 days and devoted himself to learning. I''m afraid that many senior researchers can''t do that. Academician Xu, this student under you really has the talent of a master."


    "Professor Tan, you''re too kind."


    Wu Mo blushed and could not handle Professor Tan''spliments.


    Seeing Wu Mo''s embarrassed look, Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf could not help but be happy for him in their hearts. Wu Mo could forge the Invisibility Armor and Spirit Wave Sword, and he had such strong forging skills. So, it was a surprise that he would blush from a few words of praise.


    However, Bald Eagle still understood that it was not appropriate for him and Lone Wolf to be present in their conversation.


    "Comrade Xu, Professor Tan, there are some security matters that the two of us need to handle in the exhibition hall. We''ll be taking our leave first."


    At the side, Lone Wolf stood up straight with a faint smile on his face.


    "Alright, you guys can go ahead. Thank you for your hard work."


    Academician Xu nodded and spoke in a gentle voice.


    After receiving permission, the two of them left right away, leaving only Wu Mo, Academician Xu, and Professor Tan standing next to a two-meter-tall bronze statue.


    "Professor Tan, stopplimenting him. Wu Mo is good in every way, but he''s too humble. If you continue to praise him, he might not even attend the exhibition and just run back to theboratory." Xu Wuyue patted Wu Mo''s shoulder and said with a smile.


    Professor Tan''s eyes were full of envy. Wu Mo was down-to-earth, and he had the spirit of scientific research. Most importantly, he was not arrogant. There was nothing wrong with his skills or character.


    Professor Tan was certain that Wu Mo would be able to reach the six-star rank within three years as long as there were no unexpected situations in the future.


    When that time came, Wu Mo would likely to be the youngest six-star cksmith in the Fifth Research Department''s past 70-year history.


    He was such a good seed. As long as he was carefully taught and his doubts were dispelled, he would certainly be able to soar beyond White River''s sky, upying a ce in the entire Nine Provinces.


    It was true that there was no harm withoutparison.


    Looking at Wu Mo, who was like a shining Morning Star, Professor Tan recalled the student who had been kicked out of White River province a few months ago.


    At the thought of this, his face was immediately covered in sadness.

 Chapter 270 Elder Song

    "Wu Yue, we''ve been in the Research Department for nearly 30 years. We''ve brought up many excellent cksmiths in our time. Even if those many talents aren''t all over the world, they should have made a difference in countless cities.


    "I''ve beenpeting with you for half my life. Whether it''s in terms of my own skills or my disciples'' skills, I''ve always secretlypared myself to you. I''ve never lost to you, but after seeing Wu Mo, I, Tan Qize,pletely admit defeat."


    Wu Mo could hear the deprecation in Professor Tan''s tone as he listened to his words.


    He wanted to say something, but Academician Xu responded first. "You and I are both veterans in the Research Department. Why do we still have to care about these things?


    "I know you''re ambitious, but everyone can see how capable you are. Haven''t you made enough contributions to the Research Department over the years?


    "Besides, when Wu Mo first came, I only gave him a few simple instructions. I didn''t teach him anything during that period of time. Everything he learned was from his own effort. You don''t know that Wu Mo has almost flipped through all the books in the internal reference room over the past few months. He improved so quickly because of his own actions. Don''t you know that?"


    Academician Xu''s words offort did not have much effect.


    Professor Tan sighed and said, "I stand by my statement because I''m convinced that your talent scout has a good eye. He dared to skip protocol and use emergency channels to recruit Wu Mo into the Research Department. On the other hand, I''m old and blind.


    "Dying jade was still being cultivated like a treasure. I failed to perform the most basic supervision work, allowing that Chu Qingyan to do inhumane things! For his own benefit, he used the advanced equipment in the Research Department to work for the terrorists without considering the consequences.


    "Mass-producing powerful firearms, stealing the Research Department''s data, betraying the White River province... Although I didn''t do all those things myself, when I think about how those weapons will eventually be aimed at our own people, how can I be at ease?"


    Professor Tan''s voice was deep. Although he only uttered a few short sentences, the information contained in them was enough for Wu Mo to think about for a long time.


    The smile on Wu Mo''s face faded, and he became serious.


    Betraying the state, working for terrorists, and manufacturing illegal firearms... All of these were extremely heavy crimes, but Chu Qingyan had only received the punishment of being banished.


    Furthermore, not only was his life unaffected, he even joined the most powerful Red Heart province and passed the test to participate in the Nine Provinces'' exchange conference.


    After Chu Qingyan was kicked out of the White River province, he took the opportunity to join the Red Heart province, and his status rose.


    Was this not a form of humiliation for everyone in the Research Department?


    The other party''s actions had broken through the limits of a human, but he had not received the corresponding punishment. How could this dispel the hatred in everyone''s hearts?


    Of all the people present, the one who was most affected by this incident was Professor Tan.


    Hisst disciple, Chu Qingyan, hadmitted so many crimes that he, as a professor, would inevitably be implicated. Although the leaders of the military department did not punish Professor Tan for his contributions to the Research Department, Chu Qingyan was still a professor.


    However, how could Professor Tan get over this?


    Even though Wu Mo did not have much contact with Professor Tan, he could feel the guilt and self-me in his heart.


    He had seen his disciple, Chu Qingyan, frequently in the past year. Professor Tan had spent a lot of time and energy on Chu Qingyan.


    Just like a pet, after more than a year of endlesspanionship, there would also be feelings, let alone a living person.


    Who could easily wipe away the pain of being bitten by their closest disciple?


    And all of this was caused by that guy called Chu Qingyan.


    It was hard to stay calm after doing such treasonous things, but he could be promoted to a higher rank and be given a better environment!<novelnext></novelnext>


    He clenched his fists that were hidden in his sleeves, and his heart was filled with a deep hatred for the guy called Chu Qingyan.


    Xu Wuyue looked at Professor Tan''s aged face and sighed. He only hoped that his old friend, Tan Qize, woulde out of his depression soon.


    At this moment, an old man walked into the crowd. After scanning the crowd, he walked straight in Wu Mo''s direction.


    The other party had a head of white hair, but his face did not look old. There was the temperament of a person who had been in power for a long time between his brows.


    The other party was only wearing a simple gray brocade robe. Compared to the leaders who were dressed in formal clothes, the old man''s outfit was not eye-catching.


    However, Wu Mo knew that the elders who could appear here must be people of high status.


    A momentter, the old man quickly arrived in front of the three of them. When Academician Xu saw the old man''s face clearly, a hint of surprise shed across his face.


    "Elder Song, what are you doing here?"


    He immediately raised his hand and saluted while speaking in a respectful tone.


    Professor Tan immediately collected himself and bowed.


    Wu Mo opened his mouth slightly. He had expected that Xu Wuyue''s status was not low, but he did not expect Xu Wuyue to be so respectful.


    Therefore, when Academician Xu and Professor Tan bowed, he also bowed.


    However, when he lowered his head, Wu Mo frowned and began to search his mind. Who was the leader surnamed Song that had such a high position that even someone like Academician Xu had to treat him with respect?


    "The White River province is organizing an exhibition. As the chairman, how can I not be there? However, we haven''t seen each other for only a year, and your spiritual power has be much more powerful."


    The old man chuckled, his every movement exuding the air of a superior.


    "You tter me, Elder Song," Academician Xu humbly replied.


    Then, Elder Song turned to look at Professor Tan, who was standing beside him, with a puzzled expression.


    "I''m Tan Qize, and I''m currently a professor at the Fifth Research Department." Professor Tan immediately cupped his hands and said.


    "Well... not bad. You''re only in your early 50s, but you''re already at the middle of six stars. Someone with such skills is rare even among professors."


    Elder Song nodded with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.


    He had approached Xu Wuyue to catch up, but when he saw a few people standing next to him, he gave up on the idea.


    Nevertheless, once he saw that Xu Wuyue''s ability had improved and another talented professor was around, he felt satisfied.


    With Xu Wuyue and several professors, the Fifth Research Department would be able to develop well.


    Thinking of this, Song Yi prepared to leave after a few words, but Xu Wuyue said, "Elder Song, this is my student''s first time meeting you. He must be a little nervous. Please don''t me him. Let me introduce him to you. His name is Wu Mo, and he''s currently an early-stage five-star cksmith!


    Xu Wuyue''s voice instantly pulled Wu Mo out of his state of memory searching.

 Chapter 271 A Great Achievement

    His eyes were filled with excitement. He finally understood who the big shot standing in front of him was!


    It was Song Yi, President of the White River province''s cksmith Guild, a major general!


    Although his rank was the same as the director of the Hunter Bureau, Song Yi had more power!


    Elder Song could be considered the most famous cksmith in the White River province, and one could even rank him in the top 10 throughout the entire Nine Provinces!


    Wu Mo was so excited because Elder Song''s research had broken through the technological barrier in foreign countries and shocked the entire world!


    It was a kind of interface that had a higher efficiency of absorbing energy from materials. The original energy interface in Nine Provinces could only absorb about 20% of energy to power an equipment.


    Due to the advanced technology in foreign countries, their instruments were more sophisticated.


    They were the first to obtain 35%, and this technology wasterpletely sealed off and banned from being exported to other countries.


    Furthermore, the interface was prohibited from being sold, and even equipment that used the energy interface could not pass through customs. If one wanted to buy or sell such equipment, the seller would have to check the buyer''s information thoroughly.


    This was to prevent other countries from analyzing their technology and posing a threat to them.


    Even though they had signed an agreement 100 years ago that they would never engage in any physicalbat, they remained on guard.


    Anyway, economic and cultural wars were still ongoing.


    If other countries were allowed to master such high-tech, it would inevitably affect their lives when it was developedter.


    Therefore, the Nine Provinces and other rtively backward countries were blocked in terms of science and technology for several years.


    The utilization rate of energy was extremely important for the development of science, technology and the field of forging. In just a few years, the Nine Provinces was left behind by many powerful powers.


    Later, the military leaders realized that such technology required homework, so they arranged for many cksmiths to work on the problem.


    It was just that back then, there was no advanced equipment, so it was impossible to develop a new energy interface with their current skills.


    Just as everyone was about to despair, the team led by Elder Song came with good news. The economic blockade that had contained the Nine Provinces for several years had beenpletely broken!


    The newly developed energy interface not only achieved a 35% energy utilization rate, but it was also smaller in size, which increased the possibility of forging.


    As soon as this technology appeared, it immediately caused a sensation all over the world.


    The country with thetest interface was even more shocked. One should know that the Nine Provinces was limited in terms of scientific and technological strength or forging technology. It could not bepared with the international powers.


    To be able to develop a new energy interface in such a backward environment was a miracle!


    Therefore, when Wu Mo realized that the Elder Song standing before him was the famous Song Yi of the Nine Provinces, he was so excited that he could not describe it.


    His entire being was filled with deep veneration and respect for Elder Song from the bottom of his heart.


    Elder Song not only solved the Nine Provinces'' problem, but he also obtained supreme glory for the region, refreshing the foreigners'' impression of the Nine Provinces'' scientific researchers, who were unparalleled.


    Hello, President Song. My name is Wu Mo, and I''m an in-service graduate student in the Fifth Research Department," Wu Mo said excitedly.


    He immediately straightened his back to salute Elder Song.


    "Oh, what an interesting little fellow."<novelnext></novelnext>


    Looking at the young man''s respectful expression, Song Yi nodded and raised his eyebrows slightly.


    He and Xu Wuyue had known each other for more than 10 years. This was his first time seeing Xu Wuyue personally introduce a young man from the Research Department.


    Although it was good that Wu Mo had reached the five-star rank at the age of 20, it was not that great.


    Before reaching the five-star rank, one only needed to read more books and practice more. It was not too difficult.


    However, after the five-star rank, there was a dividing line. Many people were either not talented enough or not hardworking enough. Some might not even be able to reach the six-star rank in their entire lives.


    As such, Song Yi felt that it was not difficult to reach the five-star rank before the age of 25. If one could reach the six-star rank before the age of 30, they would be considered truly outstanding.


    However, he had be more outstanding than he appeared for Xu Wuyue to personally introduce him.


    "The Fifth Research Department is indeed full of individuals with hidden talents. There''s actually such a young five-star cksmith. Not bad, he''s a good boy with manners. He''s better than the students you''ve brought here before."


    Elder Song nodded in praise, but he did not pay much attention to the young man. At his level, he had much higher expectations. Not to mention, he was the president of the White River province''s cksmith Guild, and he had seen countless young geniuses.


    Hearing Elder Song''s praise, Wu Mo immediately thanked him.


    Xu Wuyue alsoughed and chatted with Elder Song about the recent events in the Fifth Research Department.


    "Wuyue, I heard that there''s been plenty of movement in your Research Department recently. It seems that your cooperation with the major consortiums has be closer. Is this true?"


    Seeing that the atmosphere had be familiar, Song Yi changed the subject and immediately asked about what he wanted to know this time.


    Xu Wuyue began to smile with even more pride.


    "I can''t hide anything from you, Elder Song. Something like that has indeed happened in our Research Department recently."


    Seeing Elder Song''s look of anticipation, Xu Wuyue immediately told him about the mass production.


    "Right now, the production of the Invisibility Armor is steadily progressing. The first batch of equipment has already been urgently forged and distributed to the cultivators on the front lines. The factory for the Spirit Wave Sword is still under construction, and it will definitely start operating within a month."


    As the president of the White River province''s cksmith Guild, Elder Song was naturally well-informed. Even if Xu Wuyue did not say anything, Elder Song would understand the impact of these events. Thus, Xu Wuyue did not hide anything when he introduced everything.


    "...You''re doing very well. With you managing the Research Department, everything is going well. I look forward to therge-scale production of these two pieces of equipment. Let''s see what effect they''ll have on the war zone and major cities."


    Xu Wuyue and Professor Tan were overjoyed by Elder Song''spliments, and they responded humbly.


    "It''s gettingte, so I''ll take my leave first. I''ll be watching the Research Department''s performanceter."


    Looking around and seeing that all the people in charge and officials had arrived, Elder Song cleared his throat and turned to leave.


    Xu Wuyue smiled as he watched Elder Song leave. His expression was normal, but there was a hint of pride in the depths of his eyes.


    When he introduced Wu Mo to Elder Song earlier, he had deliberately avoided exining that Wu Mo was the research student who had designed the Invisibility Armor and the Spirit Wave Sword.


    The reason was, he knew that Elder Song and many other older leaders were eager to have someone to inherit their legacy.


    Ordinary or slightly outstanding individuals would not arouse their interest.


    They would only extend an olive branch and recruit geniuses or extremely outstanding young people.

 Chapter 272 Acquaintance

    As for Wu Mo, if he were to reveal his true strength, he would definitely be poached by the various leaders or transferred to their organizations with special privileges.


    When the Invisibility Armor and the Spirit Wave Sword were made, it caused a great shock in Jingdu. However, the leaders and people in charge of the military regions, as well as leaders above the major general level, rarely paid attention to these things. Therefore, most of the people present did not know who had developed the Spirit Wave Sword and the Invisibility Armor.


    Xu Wuyue''s n was revolved around this.


    Xu Wuyue looked at Elder Song''s disappearing back and thought, ''I realize that you''re so calm now because you don''t know how strong Wu Mo is. If you find out, I''m afraid you''ll poach him before the exhibition is over!


    "For safety''s sake, I won''t show off until thest moment!''


    If it were not for the fact that Wu Mo had to attend the exhibition and that it would be beneficial for him to broaden his knowledge, Xu Wuyue would not have let Wu Mo show up at all.


    "Elder Song has white hair and a ruddyplexion. He''s almost 70 years old, but his body''s still so strong."


    Professor Tan had fallen silent for a moment. He only spoke after he calmed down.


    "Elder Song broke through six years ago and became a seven-star cksmith. His spirit energy has to be vast and powerful. It''s not just empty talk that one can extend one''s life by breaking through to seven stars."


    Xu Wuyue''s expression was full of respect. Although he had reached peak six stars, he was still far from another breakthrough. If he did not have special opportunities, he would not be able to achieve it in his life.


    It was precisely because of this challenge that in the 100 years of the Nine Provinces'' history, seven-star cultivators and cksmiths were as rare as phoenix feathers and Qilin horns.


    Although a six-star cksmith was already worthy of the title of a master, there was still an insurmountable distance from the true peak.


    Wu Mo, who was standing at the side, was also excited to see the legendary Elder Song.


    Academician Xu looked around. When he saw many familiar eyes in the exhibition, he immediately nned to bring Wu Mo around to get to know the leaders.


    "Wu Mo, let''s go. I''d like you to meet an old friend!"


    Xu Wuyue blinked and quickly walked toward the crowd.


    Although Wu Mo did not understand Academician Xu''s thoughts, he still followed him.


    This exhibition affected many organizations and important figures. Anyone who was qualified to attend this exhibition would not refuse to see White River''stest research results and the excellent seeds among the contestants.


    Therefore, at the beginning of the exhibition, many excellent cksmiths had presented their proudest research results as they nned to show off their skills in the next exhibition.


    As for the leaders, they would use their spare time to get to know each other and develop their connections.


    In the exhibition area that was the size of a football field, thousands of staff members kept watch at all times. To ensure safety, everything was in perfect order.


    "Come Wu Mo, this is the mayor of Jin City, Lord Hou Yan."


    "Greetings, Mayor."


    "And this is themander of North China''s second district, Lord Kang Hong!


    "Hello, Commander Kang."


    Soon, Xu Wuyue and Wu Mo walked through the crowd and greeted the major generals.


    However, Wu Mo was not very good at conversing. He could not find any topics to talk about aside from greeting them.


    Yet, Academician Xu did not notice the change in Wu Mo''s expression. He introduced Wu Mo to many big shots, including many old acquaintances.<novelnext></novelnext>


    For instance, Bai Li, the Hunter Bureau''s director, and Chu Li, the City Defense Army''s captain, were chatting in front of them.


    Their eyes lit up when they saw Wu Mo.


    Although their department had only gotten two or three pieces of the first batch of resources for the Invisibility Armor''s production, the impact was obvious.


    It was especially so for the City Defense Army that Chu Li was in. The three Invisibility Armors were now being worshipped by the soldiers like gods. They were only qualified to wear them when they were carrying out dangerous missions. Moreover, they had to burn incense and take a bath before wearing them so that the armor would not be damaged at all.


    Wu Mo''s status was almost higher than his, the head captain.


    The Hunter Bureau was also very effective now. With the Invisibility Armors, they could deal a fatal blow to other killers before they were discovered, which greatly improved their efficiency.


    However, the Hunter Bureau did not have as much work as the City Defense Army, and they did not utilize armor as often.


    However, after the two leaders saw the effects of the equipment, they looked forward to the mass production of the Spirit Wave Sword even more.


    As such, when they saw Wu Mo, it was like seeing a family member.


    "Comrade Wu Mo, long time no see. You look a little haggard. Are you in some kind of trouble? I''ve told you before that the City Defense Army will always be your shield. If you have any problems, you can contact me anytime."


    Chu Li, who was usually cold and silent, immediately went up to Wu Mo after spotting him. His words of concern came like a machine gun.


    The corners of Bai Li''s mouth could not help but twitch. However, to obtain the Spirit Wave Sword as soon as possible, he hurried over too.


    Seeing both of their concerned expressions, Wu Mo did not know whether tough or cry. "It''s nothing. I just haven''t had enough resttely. I''m not in any trouble."


    Finding an opportunity, Bai Li immediately took advantage of it and said, "How can you not rest well? You usually use your brain too much at work. What if you don''t rest well and your body copses?"


    "Alright, I understand. Thank you for your concern."


    Although Wu Mo was a little speechless, he still thanked him politely.


    "Ahem, Wu Mo, the exhibition is about to start. Let''s go."


    Academician Xu, who was standing on the side, could not stand it anymore. He immediately urged Wu Mo so that he could pull him away.


    Chu Li was slightly disappointed, but he still waved his hand. "If you have time in the future, you''re wee to visit the City Defense Station as a guest!"


    "The Hunter Bureau is quite big. You''re wee toe over anytime!"


    Xu Wuyue was furious when he saw the two of them echoing each other.


    He was a core figure in the Research Department, but now, he was not even a graduate student in those two individuals'' eyes.


    Wu Mo and Xu Wuyue walked past in a hurry. When they passed by some familiar people, those who knew Wu Mo winked at him. Even though they had talked a lot, they wanted to make a deeper impression. They hoped that they could get thetest equipment as soon as possible.


    In the blink of an eye, it was two in the afternoon.


    As melodious and pure music yed, the exhibition held by the White River province officially began.


    The cksmiths who hade to participate in the exhibition immediately returned to their seats. The staff and the security guards in charge of the venue retreated and upied all the entrances to ensure the attendees'' safety.

 Chapter 273 The Exhibition Begins

    The leaders who had been invited also took their seats.


    More than half of the audience seats that could amodate thousands of people were already filled at this moment.


    Looking at the Nine Provinces'' g slowly rising at the center of the exhibition hall, everyone''s heart was shrouded in ayer of solemness.


    ''The annual exhibition has begun. Time really flies.''


    Looking at the g that fluttered and glistened in the air despite theck of wind, Song Yi''s heart was filled with emotions, and memories of the past shed through his eyes.


    He rubbed the armrest of his seat with his dry hands, and his thoughts drifted far away.


    On the other side, the Hunter Bureau''s director, Bai Li, was sitting not far from the exhibition stage. He and Chu Li were talking about something.


    "Do you think Wu Mo will win first ce in the exhibition?" Bai Li looked at the g and said with a smile.


    "Of course. There''s no young cksmith more dazzling than Wu Mo even in the entire capital, let alone those backward prefecture-level cities. Wu Mo will definitely reign supreme in this exhibition," Chu Li replied expressionlessly.


    Bai Li could not help but raise his eyebrows when he saw how confident Chu Li was in Wu Mo.


    "Tsk tsk, some time ago, didn''t someone in the Red Heart province forge a one-piece armor that could fly at a low altitude? Perhaps our White River province also has a simr young genius."


    "Oh."


    Chu Li did not argue with him. Even if someone from the Red Heart province had developed a one-piece armor, in his opinion, they would still not be as skilled as Wu Mo.


    Wu Mo was bound to be the champion during this exhibition.


    To him, it was inevitable. Bai Li was arguing about it was because he was looking forward to this exhibition being as exciting as the previous years.


    Moreover, Bai Li was not the only one in the audience who had such thoughts.


    Many leaders had not revealed their talents. At this moment, they were all looking forward to what kind of excellent equipment would be disyed in the exhibition.


    After all, most of the leaders from the military were high-ranking cultivators. They could only sit in such positions and manage the army better if they were strong enough.


    Only a small number of leaders were cksmiths. Those high-level cksmiths often had strong spiritual power, so they could deal with unexpected situations at will and provide better insights as well as strategies.


    Therefore, it was often times not suitable for them to charge into battle on the front lines.


    However, since these leaders were cksmiths themselves, they had profound vision, so they did not have much anticipation for the uing exhibition.


    After all, no matter how talented one was, one''s understanding of the field of forging was still shallow before the age of 30.


    However, the exhibition that was about to be held was very new to the cultivators, and it excited them.


    After all, while one''s own strength had a great impact in battle, the growth brought about by equipment could not be ignored either. A good piece of equipment was equivalent to adding wings to a tiger. It could even help one cross ranks and kill more powerful beasts or enemies.


    Of course, equipment that could achieve such an effect was extremely rare.


    However, that did not stop the cultivators from liking Divine weapons and armor. To most cultivators, a weapon that they could use was as precious as their life.


    Chu Li''s gaze was unfocused. He raised his head and suddenly noticed that there was a two-story building in the corner of the exhibition site. The two-story building was made up of six private rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows, and it looked highly advanced.


    Through the gray ss, he seemed to see some human figures shing inside.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "There''s actually someone there!" he said subconsciously.


    Bai Li, who was standing at the side, did not seem surprised at all. "I noticed it as soon as I entered. The seat over there is specially reserved for Chairman Lu. You can see the entire exhibition at a nce. It gives ess to more than what we can see," he said.


    "Oh," Chu Li responded.


    "I hereby officiate theunch of the White River province''s annual exhibition!"


    At this time, the highest leader in charge announced the start of the exhibition on the stage.


    The entire venue was instantly in an uproar.


    Many cksmiths who had attended the exhibition to disy their works were excited. They wanted to go on stage immediately to introduce their carefully made works to everyone present.


    They wanted everyone to remember their name.


    There were also some contestants who had their eyes on the golden trophy on the stage. Their eyes were full of ambition, and they vowed to take it.


    Whether it was to show off their work or to win the hall''s apuse, or stand out and be famous in the Nine Provinces, or have great ambitions to change the world...


    In any case, their ultimate goal was to make a name for themselves in this exhibition.


    Although it had been clearly stated that this week''s exhibition was not apetition but only a stage for outstanding cksmiths to show and exchange their experiences, everyone still hoped that they could perform better in front of the many leaders.


    Looking at the excited crowd on the first floor, Lu Yuansheng, who was sitting in a private room on the second floor, also had a look of anticipation.


    The nation would be strong if the youth were strong, and the country would be weak if the youth were weak. The annual exhibition was a very direct representation of White River''s development in the forging industry.


    He had personally attended the exhibition because it was that important.


    Looking at the young cksmiths who were so worked up that they could not wait to go on stage, he felt as if he had found the vitality and youth that he had lost for many years.


    "I hope to see some good seeds this time. When I attend the Nine Provinces'' exchange conference, I''ll be able to straighten my back."


    He tapped his fingers on the table and looked at the first cksmith on the stage.


    Right then, the entire ce was silent. Everyone looked expectantly at the cksmith who had already stood on the exhibition stage.


    Wu Mo, who was sitting in the third row on the lower right, was also looking forward to it. He had been in the Fifth Research Department for a long time, but he had never seen the products of other cksmiths. He did not know the average level of cksmiths in the Research Department at his age either.


    Now that he finally had the opportunity to observe, Wu Mo would take it seriously.


    The young cksmith who had walked up the stage was wearing a dark green robe with five stars drawn on his chest. He seemed to be under 30 years old.


    He was standing straight, and he was tall with a handsome face. He was holding a saber with nine rings in his hand, and it was gleaming with a cold light!


    The long de was shiny and had a total length of more than one meter. The de was sharp, and the back of it was embedded with nine iron rings. Whenever one waved it, there would be nging noises.


    Looking at the confident look on the young man''s face, Wu Mo shook his head in disapproval.


    Those who were invited to the exhibition were all elite cksmiths from the White River province. Moreover, they were all young talents working in the Research Department and under the military.

 Chapter 274 Nine-Ringed Saber

    They were all below the age of 35, and their strength had to reach five stars for them to qualify for an invitation.


    Due to these two screening processes, the cksmiths who could enter the ce were all dragons among men.


    Wu Mo had also looked forward to it before the exhibition started.


    However, the first cksmith on the stage already dispelled most of his anticipation.


    To participate in this exhibition, the works had to meet at least two characteristics. Firstly, they could be mass-produced. Secondly, they were rted to the military. Frontline cultivators or soldiers need to be able to use the developed products.


    However, the nine-ringed saber that the first researcher took out did not satisfy the second condition.


    Such arge weapon was not convenient to carry around. Moreover, the length of therge de was limited. Using such a weapon to attack a ferocious beast or enemy would be incredibly risky.


    Even though saber-type weapons had a wide audience and they could also be used by first-ss cultivators, they had more disadvantages than advantages.


    It was difficult to meet even the most basic requirements. Unless the weapon''s abilities were highly superior, people would pass on it.


    Just as Wu Mo was giving it an inappropriate evaluation in his heart, the young cksmith on the stage immediately said, "Leaders and masters, I am the first researcher to present his work on stage. My name is Zhang Linwei, and I''m from the West Moon City Research Center.


    "The equipment I''m going to show you is called the Ringed Saber," the young man said in a serious tone.


    At this moment, someone from the audience immediately helped him to pull a wooden dummy in armor up to the stage.


    "The Ringed Saber is made of refined iron. It''s 804 centimeters long with a 32-centimeter handle, and it weighs 14 pounds. This saber can cut through iron like it''s mud, and it''s extremely tough. It can easily break a weapon of the same quality!


    After he finished speaking, the young cksmith immediately brandished his Ringed Saber. He turned around and shed the wooden dummy in armor!


    The nine rings embedded on the back of the saber made a ttering sound, followed by a cracking sound. The long saber cut the chain armor that weighed more than 30 kilograms into two and even cut off a part of the wooden dummy''s arm.


    The weight of the Ringed Saber and the matching swordsmanship had indeed caused an effect that was beyond the some people''s expectations. Looking at the wooden dummy''s smooth broken arm, several leaders slowly nodded in their seats.


    Although the weapon was not good, it was quite effective in a steady attack.


    If it could cut the chain armor cleanly, it should not be a problem to deal with beasts below Rank 6.


    However, that alone was not considered outstanding. It was only passable.


    Many found it a pity as they looked at the green light that the Ringed Saber emitted.


    It was only a piece of Rare-grade equipment. Although it was easy to mass-produce, it would have a very limited impact.


    The hall gradually quieted down.


    The young cksmith with the Ringed Saber raised his head and looked at the leaders sitting not far away.


    He was waiting for theirments.


    "Ahem, the weapon isn''t bad. It should be fine for the City Defense Army to use."


    A gray-haired old man in his 70s spoke indifferently from the seats. He was wearing dark blue clothes.


    In this exhibition, 60 researchers were given the opportunity to disy their works, and hundreds of cksmiths were qualified to observe.


    Although the works exhibited were not part of apetition, thements from the masters would be of great help to the cksmiths. So, the major generals and leaders were not the only ones present. There were also three master cksmiths who were responsible for providingmentary.<novelnext></novelnext>


    They were the president of the cksmith Guild, Song Yi, the deputymander of the eastern war zone, Yuan Gang, and the president of Qingnan Academy, Chen Yuansong.


    The three of them were in the early seven-star rank and were White River''s core cksmiths.


    In the entire White River province, there were only 20 cksmiths who had reached seven stars. On top of that, these masters would usually be engrossed in research. Aside from the few who were closest to these cksmiths, it was rare for ordinary people to meet them in their entire lives.


    Now, the three seven-star masters were gathered there. Such a scene was a rare sight on regr days. For most cksmiths, they would only have the opportunity to witness it during the annual exhibition.


    Hence, all the cksmiths who hade to see the exhibition were so excited.


    The three masters in their seats were all in the realm that they wanted to reach in their lifetime!


    The old man who had spoken earlier was the deputymander, Yuan Gang.


    His shortment made the cksmith on the stage feel as if he had heard the supreme truth. He quickly bowed and thanked him before he walked down the stage.


    The other two people sitting on either side of Lord Yuan Gang were silent.


    They were waiting for the next cksmith.


    Wu Mo, who was sitting in the third row near the exhibition stage, looked at the three masters with anticipation. Even though he was more than 100 meters away, he could still feel the immense spiritual power that came from their direction.


    "It would be great if I could reach that level one day."


    He clenched his fists that were hidden in his sleeves. After he saw more powerful cksmiths, his desire to be stronger became even more deeply rooted.


    Although cksmiths of the seven-star rank could not directly participate in battle, they could escape from cultivators of the same rank by relying on their legendary equipment.


    What''s more, thework of cksmiths was wide. As long as they spread the news, they might be able to gather a group of powerful fighters in a short day. No matter how strong a seven-star cultivator was, he or she would still die with hatred when facing two or more cksmiths of the same rank.


    Thus, whether it was status or influence, cksmiths were not inferior to cultivators of the same rank. In fact, they were even slightly superior in some aspects.


    The reason was, the number of cksmiths was even fewer than that of cultivators.


    It made sense based on the principle that the rarer something was, the more valuable it would be.


    "The first cksmith doesn''t seem to be very capable. His best work is only a piece of Rare-grade equipment!"


    Bald Eagle shook his head slightly, his face full of disappointment.


    Lone Wolf was silent as he looked at the second researcher who was walking toward the stage.


    After the same self-introduction, the cksmith swiftly took out a shiny sword with patterns on the surface from his pillow-sized Space-folding Backpack.


    The sword''s de was long and slender, about 110 centimeters in length. There was a handguard at the hilt, which could protect his right hand that held the sword well.


    Although it was not as gorgeous as the previous Ringed Saber, the faint purple glow on the sword''s body made many people look forward to it.


    A cold weapon without any fancy functions must have improved quality for it to have a purple glow.


    Seeing everyone''s eyes on him, the sword-wielding cksmith promptly spoke with a proud expression.

 Chapter 275 Penetration Effect

    "The equipment I''ve forged is called Cloud Breaker. Although the weapon''s total weight is only 1.5 kg, it''s very handy. It can be wielded at an extremely high speed, and has the effect of slowing down the enemy, slowing down the enemy''s healing, and ignoring 40% of the enemy''s defense!"


    After the cksmith spoke in a very confident tone, the helper below the stage immediately pushed a smaller rectangr tform up.


    There was fur of a Rank 6 Razor Bull on the tform.


    "Next, I will demonstrate to everyone this sword''s ability to ignore defense."


    The cksmith lifted the Razor Bull''s fur on the table, revealing an iron ingot hidden inside.


    When the many cultivators saw this, they could not help but feel shocked.


    The Rank 6 Razor Bull''s fur was as hard as heavy armor. Sometimes, it would be difficult for even bullets to prate it. If such a guy appeared on the battlefield, it would take at least two six-star cultivators to kill him.


    Now, the young man holding the sword was going to prate the iron ingot below through the Razor Bull''s hide. It was simply a delusion!


    One should know that the hardness of an ordinary iron ingot was at least around 50. To cut it open, the sharpness and hardness of the de had to be good.


    That was why people used the idiom "cutting iron like it was mud" to describe its sharpness.


    After all, the quality of the weapon had to be high to cut it open.


    However, the young cksmith on the stage not only had to prate the iron ingot with his sword, but he also had cut through the Razor Bull''s hide, which was a fool''s dream.


    The reason why the Razor Bull was difficult to kill was because of its amazing defensive ability. Its outer skin was as hard as heavy armor. Unless it was a Legendary-grade weapon, it would be difficult to prate it, not to mention prating the iron ingot through the rough Razor Bull hide.


    Other than a small number of cultivators who had seen the power of such pration, most people felt that it was impossible.


    Hearing the people''s criticism in the distance, the young cksmith''s mouth showed a trace of disdain. He clenched the sword in his hand, raised it high, and brought it down abruptly!


    Many people immediately widened their eyes and stretched their necks to see if the cksmith would seed.


    Wu Mo''s interest was also piqued. He felt that the sword''s quality was not ordinary.


    Before the crowd''s watchful eyes, the sharp tip of the young man''s sword immediately collided with the Razor Bull''s fur.


    With a ng, the Epic-grade longsword was actually sent flying by the thick fur. It ttered as it fell not far from the young man.


    "As expected!"


    Seeing this, many of the cultivator leaders could not help shaking their heads in disappointment.


    Chattering voices echoed in the audience.


    However, there was still a small group of people who were still staring at the stage, looking at some white spots on the fur thoughtfully.


    "It appears to have seeded."


    Wu Mo frowned and suddenly muttered to himself a momentter.


    "Huh? This worked?" Bald Eagle, who was sitting on his right, asked subconsciously as he was shocked.


    "That''s impossible! I didn''t even see any damage on the Razor Bull''s hide!"


    Lone Wolf was puzzled too, and he looked at Wu Mo curiously.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "As the name suggests, the armor''s ignore function can directly nullify a part of the enemy''s defense. The damage caused will directly prate the armor, fur, and other defensive means, causing some damage to the target. As long as it hits, it will be considered a sess."


    Wu Mo immediately shared his opinion, and Bald Eagle, as well as Lone Wolf, finally understood after listening to him.


    "I didn''t expect this equipment to have such an overpowering effect. It can nullify part of its opponent''s defense. Doesn''t that mean that once I''m attacked, I''ll take part of the damage for sure?"


    Bald Eagle''s eyes lit up as if he had discovered a new continent. His face was full of astonishment.


    Although Lone Wolf did not say anything, his eyes were full of surprise too. It seemed that he had never heard of such an effect.


    "That''s right. But there are ways to counter equipment with the pration effect, namely shield-type effects or damage immunity. If you''re fast enough, you can also dodge all attacks. As long as you don''t get hit, you won''t be affected."


    ? Wu Mo smiled slightly. He had assumed that everyone knew this. He did not think that a powerful cultivator like Bald Eagle would not even know such basic knowledge.


    "I''ve learned a lot." Lone Wolf nodded and said with a serious face.


    After the three of them finished their conversation, the young cksmith on the disy stage picked up his sword with a calm expression.


    It was as if he had expected this to happen.


    Just when everyone thought that he was going to walk off the stage with his tail between his legs, they saw him reach out and grab a corner of the Razor Bull''s fur and flip it over.


    Under the thick fur, there was an obvious stab mark at the center of the fist-sized iron block!


    The stab mark was about five centimeters deep, and it was extremely ring on the smooth surface of the iron ingot.


    At this sight, many of the leaders, who had thought it was impossible, suddenly opened their mouths in shock.


    They looked just like Bald Eagle who had heard Wu Mo''s exnation on the pration effect.


    The equipment worn by the soldiers on the front lines was either of Premium or Epic grade.


    The effects of the equipment also increased attack power or increased basic attributes such as speed. Even if the quality of their equipment was better, it could only increase perception, slow the enemy, or add a poison effect.


    After all, that was mass produced equipment. Equipment with runes and arrays were rare because they would slow down the speed of mass production.


    As for damage immunity, shield, invisibility, pration, and other effects, they were even more unheard of.


    Hence, when the young cksmith on the stage demonstrated the sword''s prating effect, he managed to surprise arge number of soldiers.


    However, in the eyes of many cksmiths, although its prating effect could be great in actualbat, it was far from shocking.


    On the stage, after receiving arge number of shocked gazes, the young cksmith immediately ced the weapon back in his backpack with the space-folding effect.


    Then, he raised his head and looked at the three judges who were not far away, waiting quietly.


    The three people whispered a few words to each other in their seats. Everyone was also looking forward to what kind ofments this cksmith''s work would get.


    After a while, Song Yi, who was sitting on the left, spoke as their representative. "This sword called Cloud Breaker... In terms of quality, the equipment''s additional effects are quite good. I admit it''s a clever idea.


    "However, due to the limitations of the sword''s attack method, its main attack method is stabbing. The role of swinging is greatly reduced, so it can only be used in certain offensive situations. Thus, our evaluation is, ''good.''"

 Chapter 276 Storm Ax

    Elder Song Yi''sment hit the nail on the head. As a seven-star cksmith, he directly pointed out the sword''s strengths and weaknesses without seeing it up close.


    The cksmiths standing on the stage were convinced.


    "Thank you for yourment, Elder Song. I will definitely remember it."


    The young man bowed to Song Yi to express his gratitude before he quickly walked down the stage.


    In the audience, a group of soldiers and leaders were somewhat confused. The prating attack was clearly powerful, but why did it only get a good evaluation?


    Even if there were limitations to the attack method, the ws did not seem to overshadow the advantages.


    Although most of them were surprised by the evaluation, no one dared to question Elder Song''s judgment. In the forging field, Elder Song''s ability was 10,000 times better than that of theirs, theymen.


    The discussion in the audience gradually died down. At this time, a staff member in a gray uniform walked in Wu Mo''s direction and whispered a few words to him.


    Bald Eagle''s expression was filled with vignce and suspicion. After he saw the staff leave, he curiously asked, "What did that person say to you?"


    "He said that I''m number 18 in the queue," Wu Mo answered with a smile.


    "Oh, then I''ll have to look forward to it. If you go on stage and demonstrate the Invisibility Armor and theser sword, won''t you shock everyone?


    "You''ll be the most handsome guy here straight away!"


    Bald Eagle''s eyes were filled with anticipation.


    After listening to his description, Wu Mo did not know whether tough or cry. "There are many hidden talents in the White River province. There might be even more powerful equipment appearing. Before we see the best equipment, we should keep a low profile."


    "Alright," Bald Eagle said.


    He scratched his head, and Lone Wolf smirked, seeing his defeat.


    Their conversation quickly came to an end.


    His eighteenth cement was not too far back. Nevertheless, there were still more than a dozen people in front of him who wanted to show their works, and that gave Academician Xu time to prepare.


    After all, the equipment disy segment was the best ce to show their equipment''s effects. The audience would not be able to see or feel how the equipment worked unless they directly disyed its advantages. Only then could others determine its quality.


    The young man who had previously used the sword had carried out a perfect demonstration of his equipment, leaving a deep impression in the hearts of many.


    Not long after, the next cksmith went on stage.


    Every cksmith had three minutes to disy their skills during the exhibition, so when the third cksmith appeared, he began to introduce himself right away.


    In just half a minute, he had given his name and the organization he was in.


    What attracted everyone''s attention was the double-edged ax in his hand.


    The two diamonds embedded in the long-handled ax were particrly eye-catching, and the overall shape of the weapon was smooth. The overhead light was reflected in the metal.


    The ax was 140 centimeters in length, and the de was about 30 centimeters in length. Circles of green vines were wrapped around the handle, giving it a mysterious feeling.


    "It''s another weapon..."


    Lone Wolf, who was sitting in his seat, frowned slightly. They had seen disy of weapons three times in a row. Even if some were more outstanding than others, people would still get tired of looking at them.


    "That''s normal. It''s difficult to forge weapons. A good weapon can often show the cksmith''s powerful skills. Equipment rarely achieves such an effect."


    Bald Eagle shrugged, indicating that he was already used to it.


    A smile appeared at the corner of Wu Mo''s mouth. He felt that the third cksmith''s weapon was rather interesting. It was also of Epic grade, but he felt that the double-edged ax was better than the sword from before.<novelnext></novelnext>


    With anticipation in his heart, Wu Mo immediately said in his mind, ''Appraise the attributes of the double-edged ax!''


    [Equipment appraisal sessful. A hundred points have been consumed. Remaining points: 277,249. The attributes of the appraised equipment is as follows:


    [Equipment Type: Ax


    [Equipment Name: Storm Ax.


    [Equipment Grade: Epic


    [System Score: 67


    [Equipment Effect: 1. Gale (Swing speed increased by 60%)


    [2. Sandstorm (Activates energy and releases a sandstorm area of 10 cubic meters, blinding all enemies within the area. Lasts for three minutes. Cooldown: Five hours.)


    [3. Epic Power (Deals 15% speed reduction to a target and converts 3% of the damage dealt to spiritual force. The above effects stack by one with each hit. Can stack up to three times)


    [Magic Array Effect: Tier 2 Tree Spirit Array (Healing speed increased by 300% for 60 seconds. Cooldown: 10 minutes)


    [Equipment Evaluation: This is a double-edged ax with solid effects. It requires a lot of strength to swing it, but if you are proficient with axes, you can unleash its maximum effect. The more you fight, the braver you be in a long battle.]


    The panel that was floating in the air gradually faded.


    Wu Mo was surprised after learning about all the effects of the double-edged ax.


    This ax had reached the standards for mass production. If it could be mass produced and given to cultivators skilled in ax techniques, it would definitely increase their strength by a lot.


    It could even allow the cultivators to unleash double their battle power, especially in a long battle.


    With the continuous healing and threeyers of speed reduction, it would be extremely difficult for the enemy to escape.


    If such an effect could be applied to moremon weapons like sabers and swords, it should be able to disy a greater value.


    However, at the same time, Wu Mo began to worry about the young man on the exhibition stage. How was he going to show the effect of this weapon in front of everyone?


    After all, it was difficult to distinguish the effects of wound recovery, speed reduction, and spirit energy recovery with the naked eye.


    As time passed, everything went as Wu Mo had expected. The cksmith only demonstrated the effect of the fast swing. Other useful effects could not be demonstrated in this way.


    "The weapon isn''t anything special. It''s just a big ax that''s more agile."


    "It seems that this cksmith doesn''t have any real skills. The three master cksmiths definitely won''t give him a high evaluation."


    A few people not far away immediately began discussing, but Wu Mo''s lips curled into a smile.


    Those cultivators naturally did not have the whole picture, so it was normal for them to make such simple arguments.


    However, he believed that Elder Song and the other two seven-star cultivators would definitely be able to easily see the Storm Ax''s advantage.


    In a few breaths, the young cksmith had finished his demonstration. He stood straight on the spot and raised his head to look in three masters'' direction.


    "You''re quite talented, and your thoughts, as well as ideas, are also unique. However, the name double-edged ax doesn''t sound good. Why don''t we call it the Storm Ax?"


    Chen Yuansong, who was sitting in his seat, touched his beard and said thoughtfully.


    "Thank you for the name, master!"


    The young cksmith was quite surprised, and he quickly bowed to thank him.

 Chapter 277 Three Excellent Blacksmiths

    Principal Chen Yuansong nodded his head with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.


    "This long ax ispact in design and high quality. It''s not bad for cultivators who know how to use an ax. When you go back, tell your leader to mass-produce 100 of them and send them to the eastern war zone for our soldiers to try."


    The cksmith on the stage was about to leave after Principal Chen Yuansong''s evaluation, but another master cksmith, Yuan Gang, suddenly spoke up and asked him to mass-produce a portion to test the waters.


    The sudden surprise made the young man''s face turn red with excitement.


    He had just heard a piece of great news, and he almost jumped up.


    In the major research institutes or scientific research units under the military, permission to mass produce developed equipment was a certification of strength from the officials!


    Although he would only be testing the waters with 100 axes, he had taken the first step.


    One should know that many researchers who had worked in institutions for more than a decade would still not reach that level.


    The ability to mass produce equipment was the best stimnt for a young man in his 30s!


    Seeing him hurry down the stage with a grin so wide that it almost reached the back of his ears, the countless cksmiths were there to observe felt envious.


    Many previously thought that the young man was not strong enough based on the double-edged ax he had forged. Now, they were surprised too.


    In their eyes, it was clearly just an ordinary and somewhat nimble ax, so how could it receive such a high evaluation from the three masters?


    Of course, those cultivators did not know anything about forging. They would only understand its profoundness if they got personally involved.


    The crowd in the entire venue was constantly whispering.


    In just half an hour, five cksmiths had already gone on stage to demonstrate their works.


    Among them, only two had left a deep impression on people. They were the two cksmiths who had cast the Cloud Breaker and Storm Ax.


    Before the sharp gaze of the three judges, nothing could be hidden, whether it was true or false.


    They would only receive recognition if they showed the forging masters their true strength.


    But it seemed like it would not be easy to achieve that result.


    At the very least, they would have to present Epic equipment.


    The equipment''s strength had to be extremely high and stand out based on its quality alone, or its effects had to be remarkable and more than the usual.


    The sword''s pration and the ax''s benefits in a long battle were such examples.


    Those were very attractive effects.


    "Next, Mr. Meng Hua from the Spirit Forging Academy of Taihe City," the host in a formal suit said in a clear voice at the corner of the exhibition stage.


    As soon as he finished speaking, a young man in light yellow clothes immediately walked up.


    The young man had a handsome face and a slender figure that gave off the aura of a young master in ancient times.


    He had a smile on his face as if he was very confident in the work he was going to show.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "I''ll show you a heavy weapon called the Destruction Cannon."


    As soon as Meng Hua spoke, a series of clicking sounds immediately came from the stage.


    The crowd stared and suddenly found that there was arge empty space at the center. Then, a big ck structure with a metallic luster was raised up.


    The ck object seemed to be a cannon, and there were huge wheels made of fine iron on either side, which could be moved at any time.


    The long muzzle that extended out from the middle made the audience nervous as it was aimed at them.


    They were afraid that it would suddenly go off and hurt them.


    "Don''t worry, everyone. The Destruction Cannon I''ve forged is incredibly stable. There won''t be any problems. Not only is it very flexible, but it can alsounch long-range attacks at any ce within a kilometer. But most importantly, it won''t kill the enemy. Instead, it will emit an energy simr to infrasonic waves, which will instantly make the enemy lose the ability to fight back!"


    Meng Hua went on and on about the cannonball he had developed. When they first heard about it, everyone thought that it seemed to be very useful. However, there had been weapons with simr effects 10 years ago. Upon impact, it could stun most ordinary people and other creatures within its radius.


    Even if this energy cannon could be used against cultivators and vicious beasts, it was not considered a very powerful invention. Inparison to a shock bullet, it only had an improved range of attack and effect, but in contrast to other weapons, it was much more mediocre.


    Moreover, rampaging beasts were not afraid of firearms. Even if infrasonic waves could disrupt them, the effect would be very ordinary.


    In the end, the cksmith only received a passing evaluation from one of the master cksmiths just as everyone had expected.


    In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed since the exhibition began.


    There were now a total of 12 cksmiths on the stage. Seven of them had received a good evaluation, two of them had only passed, and the other three had received an excellent evaluation.


    The three excellent cksmiths had respectively forged an Energy Hand Cannon that could carry out energy wave attacks, a Heavy Thorned Armor that could greatly resist physical attacks, and Wanderer''s Boots that used new materials and could allow one to float in the air for a short time.


    Of the three types of equipment, the most scientific one was the energy hand cannon.


    The hand cannon only weighed 10 kilograms, and it could be lifted with one hand. Its hit rate was extremely high. Even cultivators who had bad aim could easily hit their targets.


    The most valuable thing about it was its long range, which could reduce the casualty rate of the cultivators on the front line.


    It contained the fusion and innovation of modern technology as well as the field of forging. Hence, Lord Song Yi paid slightly more attention to it and gave it more praise.


    The Heavy Thorned Armor was also an amazing piece of equipment. Its ability to reduce physical damage was so powerful that only Legendary-grade equipment could match it.


    The price for this was zero protection against magical damage.


    If you wore this equipment, even if your other equipment had magical defense abilities, they would still be nullified.


    However, this weakness was not enough to overshadow all the advantages of the thorned armor. In fact, in the battle zone, most of the monsters that came out of the space-time rift fought with sharp ws and teeth. Only a few could condense magic attacks.


    Moreover, even if they encountered a creature that could attack with magic, the wearer could switch his equipment in time.


    This was because the thorned armor had been made with such a situation in mind, and the cksmith had added an additional function for easy wearing and removal. As long as spiritual power was absorbed into the body, the armor could immediately be stripped off, and the whole process would take less than five seconds.


    At that time, the cultivator couldpletely equip himself with other normal equipment, like the ninth-generationbat suit.


    With its super strong protective power, the cksmith received an excellent evaluation, and his work was even approved for the mass production of 500 pieces. That made the numerous observing cksmiths envious.

 Chapter 278 Newcomer King (1)

    Thest piece of equipment that a master cksmith evaluated as excellent was the Wanderer''s Boots.


    It was beyond everyone''s expectations.


    Although the ability to float and even fly had long been realized by modern technology.


    However, a pair of small boots could achieve the same effect of floating in the air. It was surprisingly refreshing.


    It should be known that in the 100 years of smithing history, many pieces of equipment had reached a level of unparalleled effect.


    Basic effects such as slow, stun, speed increase, and knock back had already been overused by cksmiths.


    Damage caused could be converted into spirit energy, and the high-level effects of healing wounds and aura concealment had also appeared many times.


    The highest level of damage immunity, invisibility, true damage, and arge number of other equipment effects could only be found in Legendary or above equipment.


    As for floating, it was so unpopr in the field of forging that it almost never appeared.


    It was for this reason that even many six-star cksmiths were shocked at how the cksmith had been covering up the floating function in front of everyone.


    The three master cksmiths also looked at him in a new light. They secretly remembered his name and nned to entrust him with important tasks in the future.


    In more than an hour, the cultivators'' views had been refreshed.


    Wu Mo was extremely surprised too.


    Although the White River province''s technology and the field of forging were rather backward, he could see that the development of forging technology was much better than he had imagined. This was based on the dozens of cksmiths who had appeared before him.


    He was especially excited after seeing the three pieces of equipment with different effects.


    When he saw the Wanderer''s Boots, his mind was filled with thoughts of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    He hoped toplete it before the final national exchange conference.


    "Tsk tsk, this exhibition is really exciting. I didn''t expect there to be so many genius cksmiths in other cities," Bald Eagle praised from the bottom of his heart.


    The shock and passion in his heart gave him the urge to quit his current job and be a cksmith again.


    Many of the soldiers and leaders present were also full of praise for the three cksmiths who had received an excellent evaluation. Some even nned to contact them in private to form connections in advance.


    However, there were still some people in the audience who acted like they were above it all.


    Even when they saw the three pieces of excellent equipment, they were not very excited. Instead, they looked at the audience, as if they were looking forward to something else.


    "Have these people not seen the world? It''s just a few decent pieces of equipment. Is there a need to be so excited?"


    They watched as the people around them continued to discuss and even begin to guess which of the three would win and be the most likely cksmith to participate in the summit.


    Bai Li, the director of the Hunter Bureau, looked puzzled.


    Chu Li, who was at the side, frowned slightly. He was thinking about Wu Mo''s position and why he had yet to appear.


    Of course, he did not think that the three excellent works were bad. It was just that he had experienced growth some time ago and had seen Wu Mo cut open a military vehicle with a lightsaber. Otherwise, he would probably be like the others now, excited and thinking that he had witnessed the birth of some amazing equipment.


    Not only did he not find them very powerful, but he even wanted tough.


    On the second floor,Lieutenant General Lu Yuansheng was holding a cup of coffee and looking down through the ss.


    "Lord Lu, I promise you that there will be more interesting equipment in the future. There are many interesting young cksmiths in this exhibition," on the other side of the table, a gray-haired old man in a formal suit said with a smile.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "...There''s more than half of the participants left before the exhibition ends. I''m not in a hurry."


    Lu Yuansheng smiled and gently blew on the hot coffee in his cup. The rising steam surrounded him and quickly disappeared.


    "Next, the 16th cksmith to show his work, is Gu Hongzhuo from the Seventh Research Department.


    In the corner of the stage, the host read out the name of this slightly famous person.


    Many people in the audience immediately became excited when they heard the name.


    "The ''Neer King'' from the Seventh Research Department is next? I''m not sleepy anymore."


    "Gu Hongzhuo is finally going to put on a show. It looks like the powerful cksmiths are all hidden forter."


    "The small multi-purpose weapon maintenance kit that he developedst time has been mass-produced on a small scale, and he has quite a number of achievements. It seems that the second batch is also being tested. I wonder, what kind of surprise he will bring us this time?"


    Many soldiers had heard of him before. When they heard that he was about to go on stage to disy histest work, they were all excited.


    "F*ck, a bunch of ignorant people," Bai Li said disdainfully when he saw them.


    ''A maintenance kit? This Gu Hongzhuo is just a little sc*mbag in front of Wu Mo,'' he said in his heart.


    Chu Li, on the other hand, was chuckling at the side. He was looking forward to seeing the reaction of these soldiers who had never seen anything good before, once they saw the Invisibility Armor and the Spirit Wave Sword.


    There was amotion in the venue. The three master cksmiths were surprised to see this.


    "It seems that the little guy who''s going next is quite capable. He also has a fan base. Yuan Gang, as the deputymander, you should know this young man called Gu Hongzhuo, right?"


    Song Yi was a little curious, and he immediately turned his head to ask.


    Yuan Gang nodded with a smile. "The maintenance kit he forged before was indeed tested in our district, and it was said to be not bad


    "This time, he should be able to bring a more perfect product."


    Everyone''s attention was on Gu Hongzhuo, who was wearing a ck smithing robe, as he slowly walked up the stage.


    He was carrying a ck box in his hand. It looked heavy, but it was only the size of an ordinary safe.


    He walked to the center of the exhibition stage with steady steps, then bowed slightly to the three master cksmiths.


    Many people turned their eyes to the safe, and their expectations rose to the extreme.


    "He''s so shy, and his work is even stored in a safe. It''s definitely useless."


    Bald Eagle pouted. He did not have a good impression of the guy called Gu Hongzhuo at all.


    "Not necessarily. He has experience in developing and producing products in mass production. The things he developster will definitely be extraordinary. I think he might be one of Wu Mo''s strongpetitors."


    Lone Wolf, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up. He had seemingly discovered something and insisted that Gu Hongzhuo had some real skills.


    "...Whose side are you on?"


    Bald Eagle was a little unhappy. The battle was just around the corner. Who would boost the enemy''s morale and diminish their own?


    Seeing that the two of them were about to start a fight, the helpless Wu Mo immediately said, "He''s going to show his work now. As for whether he''s good or not, won''t we be able to see it soon?"

 Chapter 279 Newcomer King (2)

    While Wu Mo was speaking, Gu Hongzhuo, who was standing on the exhibition stage, had already spoken.


    "Next, I''m going to show you a piece of work called the multi-functional military machinery repair tform. It can repair a variety of equipment, including guns, military vehicles, and tanks, within ten minutes. With simple operations, the tform will automaticallyplete the repair!


    "It has solved the problem of the soldiers going out to carry out a mission and the dy in the military aircraft due to the mechanical failure."


    Gu Hongzhuo immediately pressed the button on the safe''s handle after he finished speaking.


    The next moment, the safe opened.


    The item inside was instantly ejected, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a 30 by 60 centimeter t operating table that could be lifted.


    Not only were there many mechanical parts and maintenance supplies on the control panel, but there were also two mechanical arms that looked like human arms.


    The mechanical arms glowed blue, and they were controlled by a simple AI system. As long as the mobile camera identified the problem with the machine before it, the AI system would immediately control the mechanical arms to repair or rece the damaged part.


    Looking at the machine that seemed to be made up of pure modern technology, everyone was shocked and confused.


    They were having a forging exhibition. Even if the mechanical arma were extremely precise and they could repair vehicles, how could it be considered a piece of spirit energy equipment?


    "Oh, my God, Gu Hongzhuo actually developed a fully automatic intelligent system, and when folded, it''s only the size of a safe."


    "It''s indeed a high-tech item, but it doesn''t look like a piece of spirit energy equipment."


    Everyone was shocked. Many people realized that after the intelligent maintenance tform was activated again, the two mechanical arms actually waved their hands, giving a Cyberpunk vor often seen in the movies.


    However, the question that followed also puzzled many people.


    Logically speaking, Gu Hongzhuo was already a very experienced cksmith, so he should not have made such a low-level mistake.


    Many soldiers felt that it was a little strange. Even if smart maintenance could really be used, it did not meet the conditions to participate in the exhibition.


    However, the ones who voiced their doubts were soldiers who did not know forging well.


    When the smart maintenance tform appeared, many knowledgeable researchers had already seen many traces of spirit energy.


    For example, there was a Space-folding Array hidden inside the safe and an ore embedded in the mechanical arms. Even the mechanical arms had been forged, and its entire body met the standard.


    It was just that outsiders were watching the show, and those soldiers did not understand it at all.


    Gu Hongzhuo, who was standing on the stage, seemed to have anticipated everyone''s doubts. He immediately activated another function of the maintenance tform, which was energy wave detection.


    A translucent ripple spread out from the center of the stage, and the next second, a high-tech panel was projected in front of the maintenance tform.


    It disyed the general outline of everything within a kilometer.


    This included the nearly 2,000 spectators in the audience and the security guards patrolling outside.


    Even the surrounding buildings were clearly disyed.


    It was like a beautiful 3D model.


    Such a powerful effect immediately shocked a group of people, including the cksmiths.


    The three master cksmiths raised their brows slightly. The strength of the young man named Gu Hongzhuo had exceeded their expectations.


    "For it to achieve such a affect, you guys don''t think that my smart maintenance tform is merely high-tech, do you?"


    On the stage, Gu Hongzhuo smiled and immediately began to demonstrate the tform''s maintenance function.


    Everyone heard a rumbling sound, and the stage shook slightly. Then, a damaged military vehicle appeared on the stage.


    The surface of the military vehicle was severely scratched, and the front of the vehicle was also a little deted. Its tires and the internal engine were in a state of damage too.<novelnext></novelnext>


    The car looked so miserable that it was almost impossible to recognize it as a standard military camouge car.


    Under normal circumstances, if this vehicle was not sent back to the army for major repairs, it would not be usable anymore.


    Therefore, when the soldiers saw the damaged military vehicle, they could not sit still.


    "D*mn, Gu Hongzhuo isn''t going to use the so-called smart repair tform to repair this car, is he?!"


    "That''s impossible. It won''t work."


    Everyone was whispering to each other, and the major generals''eyes were also full of anticipation.


    They wanted to see if the item he forged really had such functions.


    The three judges still looked calm, but their curiosity was piqued.


    Strictly speaking, the tform that Gu Hongzhuo had forged was no longer a single equipment. It was more like an assembly of items.


    At this moment, Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf, who were sitting beside Wu Mo, could not sit still anymore.


    The strength that Gu Hongzhuo disyed far exceeded their expectations.


    Nevertheless, they felt that even if Gu Hongzhuo''s tform could repair the military vehicle, he would still be inferior to Wu Mo.


    But at least he woulde the closest.


    In the future, they might indeed be opponents.


    "If this thing is really useful, the military vehicle in your team that was almost scrapped from the crash might be repairable." Lone Wolf frowned slightly and suddenly said after a moment.


    Bald Eagle immediately recalled the time when he was surrounded by many criminals. He red at Lone Wolf and said, "Don''t try to force a conversation. That vehicle has been dismantled.


    Wu Mo''s enthusiasm was also aroused. He was eager to know how the maintenance AI on the disy was made.


    Maybe once he fully understood the technology of Gu Hongzhuo''s equipment, he could use it on his Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    In addition, it only took 100 points to appraise it.


    To Wu Mo, who had several hundred thousand points, this was just a drop in the bucket.


    At that thought, Wu Mo did not hesitate and immediately said in his heart, ''System, help me identify the attributes of the smart maintenance tform.''


    [Ding! Equipment function has been sessfully identified. Two hundred points have been spent. The equipment''s attributes are as follows:


    [Equipment Type: Maintenance


    [Equipment Name: Military Multi-functional Repair tform.


    [Equipment Traits: Weight: 12 kg, No. of Modules: 9 types.


    [Equipment Grade: Epic


    [Equipment Effects: 1. Emergency Repair (Performs rapid repair on the target. The speed depends on the extent of damage and the area. Repair time is about one-fifth faster than usual.)


    [2. Full-breath (Releases energy waves to monitor all sounds within a one-kilometer radius. Lasts for 10 minutes. Cooldown: Five hours.)


    [3. Machinery Maniac (The speed of repairing engines and other power systems is doubled.)


    ? [Array Effect: Tier 2 Domain Expansion Array (The area affectedwill increase by 3.5 times.)


    [Equipment Evaluation: This is an equipment capable of multi-purpose maintenance. Holographic images can also be used inbat. Overall, it is average. The intelligent system is a bonus. It is a piece of usable Epic-grade equipment.]

 Chapter 280 Excellent Evaluation

    A series of data shed in front of him, which gave Wu Mo a deeper understanding of the instrument.


    At the same time, Gu Hongzhuo, who was standing on the stage, immediately activated the maintenance tform.


    The audience watched as the two mechanical arms continuously took out maintenance tools from the tform and removed the damaged parts for repair.


    In just a few minutes, the military vehicle that was on the verge of being scrapped experienced a significant improvement.


    The dented engine cover was mostly fixed, and all the scrapped parts had been reced with new ones.


    Everyone was shocked by the AI tform''s speed at repairing. At the same time, they were also surprised that the tform could store so many parts and tools. It was a treasure chest!


    Since there was a time limit for each person to disy their work, Gu Hongzhuo immediately returned the maintenance tform to its original state after fixing the military vehicle''s engine.


    Many people saw the mechanical arms fold and return to their original position before the tform turned into a box the size of a safe again. They were surprised by Gu Hongzhuo''s forging skills!


    "It''s no surprise that Gu Hongzhuo managed to forge such a precise instrument. If this smart repair tform can be mass-produced, the manpower required to repair military vehicles in the future will be greatly reduced!


    "The Neer King is indeed worthy of his reputation. The forged equipment is not only easy to use but also convenient to carry around. It''s rmended for every military vehicle to bring one in the trunk after mass production."


    Many soldiers gave him a thumbs-up as their praises rose and fell.


    The purpose of the exhibition was to allow the outstanding cksmiths in White River continent to exchange their experiences on a broader tform. At the same time, it would also help the leaders to identify cksmiths with potential and strength.


    The leaders would nurture them so that they would not gather dust in a corner.


    Gu Hongzhuo was clearly a cksmith with great strength and potential.


    Therefore, by the time he finished his demonstration, many leaders and organizations had already memorized his name. They nned to see him after the exhibition was over.


    Even if they could not recruit him, they had to make some connections. If he forged more powerful equipment in the future, they could use their rtionship with him to get the equipment ahead of others.


    On the stage, Gu Hongzhuo bowed to the three master cksmiths and waited quietly to the side.


    The three judges, who were master cksmiths, looked at each other.


    In Elder Song Yi''s opinion, although the idea of Gu Hongzhuo''s equipment was novel, its use was extremely limited.


    If a military vehicle was damaged by the enemy on the battlefield, they would not even have a few minutes to repair it.


    If there was a problem with the military vehicle during an exercise, the best strategy was to abandon the vehicle to protect themander.


    The equipment could only be used in a safe environment in the military camp.


    However, if it was only used in the military camp, the equipment''s portability would not y a role at all.


    Therefore, in Elder Song''s eyes, this was a piece of equipment that was of little value.


    It was true that it could y a big role in some situations, but it would likely just gather dust in the trunk. That was equivalent to the existence of a fire extinguisher.


    Inparison, fire extinguishers were cheap to make, and their cost-performance ratio was extremely high.


    It would not be easy to mass produce the smart maintenance tform, though.


    After half a minute of silence, the three judges already had an answer in their hearts.


    "Ahem, the instrument you''ve made can indeed save manpower and time, but it doesn''t have a wide range of uses. There are many restrictions around it, but because of your creativity, I''ll give this instrument an excellent score."


    Elder Song spoke first. He pointed out the instrument''s shorings, but he also exined its merits.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Gu Hongzhuo, who was standing on the stage, epted hisment humbly. Even though he only received an excellent evaluation, he was not dissatisfied at all.


    "Hehe, Elder Song is right. However, I have a different opinion."


    Just as Gu Hongzhuo was about to leave the stage, Yuan Gang chuckled and spoke.


    "The smart maintenance tform has many advantages that ordinary people can''t match. Whether it''s the holographic image that provides insight of the battle situation at any time, or the smart system''s automatic controls, these are all functions that rarely appear in the field of forging.


    "To be capable ofbining modern technology and forging technology to such an extent, this cksmith named Gu Hongzhuo is not only capable but also very knowledgeable. Even if the first version of the maintenance tform has many shorings, the ws don''t overshadow the advantages, so I''ll give it an outstanding evaluation."


    As the deputymander of a military region, Yuan Gang''s words were not only clear but also highly convincing.


    Although his voice was not loud, it had a strong prating power, and it reached everyone''s ears without leaving a single beat.


    Gu Hongzhuo had been calm on the stage as if it was nothing even when he was demonstrating his equipment. However, he was moved especially after Yuan Gang gave him an excellent evaluation.


    "Substandard", "pass", "good", "excellent", and "outstanding" represented the five grades in the exhibition.


    In previous years, Lord Yuan Gang had been very strict with his grading. He either did not speak, or if he opened his mouth to evaluate, it would most likely be because the presenter''s work was not good enough.


    Ultimately, very few equipment and instruments could catch Lord Yuan Gang''s eye.


    Furthermore, Lord Yuan Gang had given him an outstanding grade, which represented a perfect score.


    This showed that not only did Lord Yuan Gang think highly of the equipment, but he also acknowledged Gu Hongzhuo''s ability!


    "Tsk, tsk, tsk, this guy actually received the highest score!"


    Below the stage, Bald Eagle widened his eyes in disbelief. He could not believe that Lord Yuan Gang would give Gu Hongzhuo such an evaluation.


    Lone Wolf, who was standing at the side, frowned slightly. The highest evaluation in the exhibition was "outstanding."


    If that was the case, would Gu Hongzhuo not be on equal footing with Wu Mo?


    That was something he could not ept.


    With his skills, Wu Mo would definitely be at the top of the pyramid among the younger generation even in the Annual Exchange Conference, so what was a province-level exhibition?


    "Sigh, Lord Yuan''s evaluation is definitely high." Bald Eagle shook his head and muttered to himself.


    The two of them frowned and sighed. Those who did not know better would think that they were the ones on stage.


    However, Wu Mo remained calm as he sat in the middle.


    "It''s fine. Even if that cksmith receives three outstanding evaluations, I''m confident that I''ll be able to surpass him."


    Wu Mo patted their shoulders and blinked with a smile.


    Bald Eagle was stunned for a moment, but he soon gave Wu Mo a thumbs-up.


    "I thought you''d be more modest this time."


    "No, there''s no harm in being a little confident sometimes." Lone Wolf immediately sat up and retorted.


    "Alright, I''m about to go down and prepare. Just wait for some good news, you guys," Wu Mo said before he hurried to the preparation room.


    Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf exchanged looks and saw the anticipation in each other''s eyes.

 Chapter 281 The Red Heart Provinces Tank

    With Wu Mo around, cksmiths like Gu Hongzhuo did not stand a chance.


    As long as Wu Mo''s two representative equipment were on stage, they would definitely crush everything from the other cksmiths!


    Right then, Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf were not the only ones who were looking forward to his performance.


    The soldiers and leaders who knew Wu Mo felt their hearts beat faster when they saw him leave his seat.


    Although they had already seen the power of his equipment, the feeling of novelty and power that made their blood boil were still fascinating!


    "Mr. Wu Mo is about to go on stage!"


    Chu Li saw Wu Mo walk into the waiting room, and his eyes immediately lit up while he was in his seat. He promptly turned his head and whispered to Bai Li.


    "The good things in life are worth waiting for. I guess I didn''te in vain since I get to see Mr. Wu Mo''s masterpiece one more time."


    Bai Li grinned, and his expression full of anticipation, like a child waiting for candy.


    At this moment, several other leaders and cksmiths who knew Wu Mo felt the same way.


    However, only a few people had seen Wu Mo''s products. Even though some had heard of the Invisibility Armor or the Spirit Wave Sword, they did not know who had made them.


    "The equipment you''ve forged ispact and portable, but it''s not as powerful. There are also some restrictions in its use, so my evaluation is excellent," the principal of Qingnan Academy, Elder Chen, said.


    Although the young cksmith who was the 17th person to go up the stage was not satisfied, he still bowed and thanked him before he quickly walked down the stage.


    Lieutenant General Lu Yuansheng, who was sitting in a private room on the second floor, witnessed the same scene.


    "This year, there seems to be fewer skilled cksmiths. After such a long time, only one person has obtained the "outstanding" evaluation." Lu Yuansheng held his chin and said calmly.


    However, the head of the exhibition who was sitting opposite Lieutenant General Lu could clearly see the disappointment in his eyes.


    "My Lord, don''t worry. Right now, only 17 cksmiths have disyed their skills. There will definitely be more powerful cksmithster on," the middle-aged man said with a smile.


    "I hope you''re right."


    Lu Yuansheng nced at the man before he turned his eyes back to the exhibition''s stage.


    By now, the cksmith who had received the excellent evaluation had already walked down the stage. The host in the corner held the name list and announced in a clear voice, "Let''s wee the next cksmith, Wu Mo from the Fifth Research Department!"


    The host''s voice reverberated throughout the exhibition venue.


    Everyone whispered to each other and began to guess what kind of evaluation this cksmith would receive.


    "Wu Mo? Doesn''t the name sound a little familiar?"


    "What? I''ve never heard of him. He''s probably just an ordinary graduate student."


    "Is he from the Fifth Research Department? Maybe the person on stage has some strength."


    Everyone turned their eyes to the waiting room''s exit to see who would be the next to go on stage.


    However, after waiting for more than 10 seconds, not a single person appeared.


    "What''s going on? Is he absent?"


    "This exhibition is open to the entire province. Who would be so bold to note?"


    Soon, there was amotion in the venue. Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf were also a little surprised. Did Wu Mo encounter some problems in the waiting room?


    Just as the crowd was getting impatient, the huge exhibition stage suddenly rumbled and started shaking.


    Seeing that something seemed to be rising in the middle of the stage, their curiosity was immediately piqued.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "What''s that? It doesn''t look small."


    "Ah, isn''t that a tank?"


    Everyone''s eyes focused on a huge, dark brown heavy tank at the center of the stage.


    The entire tank had obviously been modified. The surface of the armor reflected a metallic luster, which gave off an extremely hard exterior.


    The front of the tank was also equipped with a ram and de that was more than a meter long.


    The ram was extremely sharp, and it could pose a threat to some ferocious beasts.


    There were magic arrays drawn on the surface of the tank, and there were obvious fluctuations of spiritual power. The barrel that extended out was not small either, and it looked like it could fire powerful shells!


    "Tsk, tsk, tsk, isn''t this the heavy hunting tank from the Red Heart province? Disying Red Heart''s cutting-edge technology in this ce? Are you here to cause trouble?!"


    After the huge tank waspletely lifted onto the stage, many sharp-eyed cksmiths and generals recognized it!


    Disying the Red Heart province''s tank in a White River province''s exhibition was obviously an attempt to boost the morale of others!


    This time, many cksmiths and soldiers could not sit still anymore. "What kind of background does this guy called Wu Mo have? Is he an informant sent by the Red Heart province?"


    "Isn''t disying such a thing at our social gathering destroying our prestige?"


    "Interrogate this cksmith and disqualify him from thepetition!"


    Themotion in the audience immediately attracted the attention of the three judges and Lieutenant General Lu.


    After all, such a thing had never happened in all the years that the exhibition had been held.


    Song Yi squinted at the heavy tank on the stage. After a moment, he shook his head and muttered to himself, "Wu Mo is one of Academician Xu''s men. It''s impossible for him to do anything that would harm the White River province."


    "Oh, Elder Song, do you know this cksmith called Wu Mo?" Yuan Gang, who was frowning at the side, heard Song Yi''s words and immediately asked in surprise.


    Originally, he had nned to send someone to deal with it, but he was strict about everything. If someone had known about it, he would have known about it in advance too.


    Principal Chen looked at Elder Song too, wanting to know what was going on.


    "Don''t look at me. I remember his name because not long ago, Academician Xu from the Fifth Research Department introduced this young man to me.


    "Although I don''t know what kind of person this little guy is, his political background is definitely clean," Elder Song added and fell silent.


    Yuan Gang and Principal Chen fell into deep thought and continued watching quietly.


    "There''s definitely a problem. Even if this tank''s armor is tough enough to withstand a full-force attack from a Rank 6 beast, it''s still technology from the Red Heart province. It''s not right to put it on disy in our exhibition!"


    "That''s right. I''ve also heard that this armor is incredibly difficult to break from the outside, and it has a practical design. But that''s not enough reason for Wu Mo to put it on!"


    Everyone began to denounce him.


    Lu Yuansheng, who was sitting in the private room on the second floor, narrowed his eyes.


    "Lord Lu, would you like me to send someone to deal with this?"


    Seeing that the leader seemed to be a little angry, the middle-aged man immediately spoke.


    He never expected things to turn out this way.


    Moreover, the situation could be dire. If Lord Lu got serious, he would be implicated and punished.


    "No need. I''d like to see what that researcher called Wu Mo will do with the heavy hunting tanks from the Red Heart province."

 Chapter 282 Shocking The Whole Stadium

    Seeing that General Lu seemed to be interested in the guy named Wu Mo, the middle-aged man did not say anything else.


    In the exhibition hall, the crowd was at a loss. Many people protested to the staff as they felt that things from the Red Heart province should not appear in the White River province.


    Even though the heavy hunting tank was extremely powerful, it still did notply with the rules of thepetition.


    The host on stage was a little embarrassed. Just as he was about to announce the end of Wu Mo''s demonstration on stage...


    A sword hilt appeared out of thin air on the empty stage!


    It was a 30-centimeter-long sword hilt, and a golden dragon was carved on it.


    The dragon scales were distinct, and the carvings were lifelike. There were also three buttons of unknown use at the center.


    The sword hilt was beautiful and domineering, but shockingly, it was floating in the air with nothing around it!


    "Oh, my God, are my eyes ying tricks on me?"


    "What is that thing?"


    The audience sitting further away squinted. They seemed to see something swaying on the stage, but they could not make it out due to the distance.


    However, before they could react, a ring redser suddenly shot out of the floating sword hilt!


    Theser instantly expanded by a meter, and the hilt, which was suspended in mid-air, suddenly dropped down following the dazzling light beam.


    Chi chi!


    They could hear the sound of molten iron boiling, but the dozens of people sitting close to the stage could only see a white light sh before them.


    Immediately after, the heavy hunting tank at the center of the stage was instantly split into two.


    Boom!


    The tank, which had been instantly cut by theser, could no longer maintain its bnce, and its two halves fell one after another.


    Nearly five tons of weight hit the stage, causing a noticeable shake!


    Seeing the heavy hunting tank split into two with a mirror-smooth cut, the entire audience in the venue was dumbfounded!


    The high temperature caused the molten iron to boil and instantly vaporize. To achieve such an effect, theser''s temperature had to be at least 4,000 degrees!


    One could only imagine how terrifying theser that had appeared before them was.


    In addition, some people in the audience had mentioned that the heavy hunting tanks possessed excellent defensive capabilities and could withstand a blow from a peak Rank 6 beast.


    But now, the tank had been cut in half like scrap metal!


    It went from an intact, impregnable tank to a pile of scrap metal in less than two seconds.


    Such a stark contrast stunned everyone. Even the three judges were staring at the light beam on stage in disbelief.


    There was surprise, doubt, and horror!


    The pupils of numerous people contracted. Did thisser sword thing really exist in the real world?


    Most of them were taken aback.


    The group of individuals who had doubted Wu Mo''s identity earlier now felt as if they were being strangled, and even breathing became difficult.


    The series of events had happened too suddenly.


    The hilt of the sword was suspended in the air, then theser suddenly appeared, and just like that, the tank was cut in half.


    The people did not know how this was done.


    Could the floating sword hilt be a remote-controlled drone? How do you exin theser?


    Only those who knew Wu Mo or those who knew his identity understood what had happened.


    Nevertheless, despite knowing the power of the Invisibility Armor and the Spirit Wave Sword, they were still shocked and excited to see this with their own eyes.


    Thebination of the Spirit Wave Sword and the Invisibility Armor was not just 1+1 = 2 but also the shock and fear of an invisible killer.


    On the second floor, Lieutenant General Lu, who had witnessed many things, could not take his eyes off the scene.


    The middle-aged man sitting across the table felt like he had opened the door to a new world.


    The entire venue was silent, leaving only the sound of heavy breathing.


    The major generals rubbed their eyes subconsciously, but the scene they had just witnessed was still ying out in front of them.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Some of them even cast their gazes at the three judges not far away, wanting to see their opinions.


    However, they did not expect to see the three master cksmiths still clueless and in shock.


    At this moment, a young man suddenly appeared out of thin air on the stage that originally just had one sword hilt.


    The young man''s face was delicate, his eyes were deep, and he had a gentle smile on his face.


    He was holding the Spirit Wave Sword in his left hand, and the Invisibility Armor, which he had just taken off, in his right hand.


    "Hello, everyone. I''m the 18th cksmith to showcase my work. My name is Wu Mo!" hesaid in a calm tone.


    However, this ordinary sentence stirred the audience up immensely.


    "You''re super! What kind of God is this?!"


    "Wu Mo, what equipment did you forge? I still can''t see it clearly."


    "Oh, my God, a young cksmith like him actually developed such an amazing piece of equipment."


    "Whoever said that Wu Mo was the Red Heart province''s spy, step forward!"


    "I''m unterally announcing that Wu Mo will be my idol from now on!"


    "What kind of suit is that? It can make you invisible!"


    The audience was going crazy.


    Theser sword that cut open the Red Heart province''s heavy hunting tank with one knife had actually been developed by a young cksmith in his 20s. That was brutal.


    A suit that could make one invisible... Modern technology could not possible achieve that!


    Everyone was bewildered. The ability that Wu Mo disyed was so powerful that they threw Gu Hongzhuo, who had received an excellent evaluation before, to the back of their minds. No one remembered him anymore.


    "I didn''t expect such a powerful piece of equipment to be forged by a young man. He''s pretty much a genius!"


    Yuan Gang''s face was filled with shock, and the thought of taking Wu Mo as a disciple rose in his heart.


    "If the students of our college could have 20 to 30 percent of Wu Mo''s ability, Qingnan Academy''s reputation would not be so unknown."


    Old Chen''s beard trembled slightly, and his heart was in turmoil.


    As for Song Yi, it was even more difficult for him to calm down.


    The two pieces of equipment in Wu Mo''s hands were considered seamless.


    The Invisibility Armor concealed his figure and even suppressed much of his aura. Meanwhile, the damage that theser sword dealt was so explosive that even a heavy tank could not withstand it.


    With the enhancement of these two pieces of equipment, even an ordinary person could easily kill a ferocious Rank 6 beast!


    That was enough to turn the tide in reality.


    "I never thought that after being in the field of forging for 40 years, my ability would be inferior to a young man in his early 20s!"


    Song Yi sighed in his heart.


    In terms of ability disyed, Wu Mo surpassed all the cksmiths who had participated in the exhibition.


    In fact, many six-star cksmiths present might not even be as good as Wu Mo when it came to design!


    The three judges were still wide-eyed and processing what Wu Mo had shown them.


    This moment seemed like the right time to Academician Xu, who was sitting in the audience, so he quickly walked up the stage.


    "Hello, everyone. The equipment that Wu Mo demonstrated earlier is the Fifth Research Department''stest project. Wu Mopleted it alone.


    "The names of these two pieces of equipment are the Spirit Wave Sword and the Invisibility Armor. Thank you for watching. The equipment demonstration is over!"


    Xu Wuyue had a confident smile on his face. He was extremely satisfied to see the high-ranking leaders'' shocked faces.


    The Fifth Research Department, which had been silent for many years, was finally at the top again.


    As soon as he finished speaking, all the audience members felt as if they had been electrocuted, and their scalps were about to explode.


    The Invisibility Armor, as its name suggested, allowed the wearer to bepletely invisible.


    Forget its other abilities, just the invisibility effect alone had never appeared in the White River''s history for 100 years.


    The invisibility effect could aid with too many things. Whether it was sneaking into enemy camps or killing fierce beasts, there would be unexpected results.

 Chapter 283 A Perfect Evaluation

    Just the equipment''s effect alone was enough to crush all the other equipment that had been disyed before. Even the quick repair tform for the battlefield could notpare.


    Besides, the Spirit Wave Sword''s effect was obvious to all. One of Red Heart''s core military equipments, the heavy hunting tank, was unable to withstand a hit from the Spirit Wave Sword.


    If the tank ended up like that, would the rampaging beasts not be even easier to deal with?!


    This 30-centimeter hilt could even threaten the safety of seven-star cultivators.


    As long as these two things existed, a normal person''sbat ability would beparable to that of a six-star cultivator.


    It was evident!


    The two pieces of equipment that Wu Mo had disyed were way beyond expectation.


    His young face was equally hair-raising.


    It would have been fine if such aplicated and powerful piece of equipment had been made by a master in his 70s, but the developer was a young man.


    That was enough to refresh the views that everyone had formed in the field of forging for decades.


    Those people were so excited that they almost stood up.


    They looked at Wu Mo with envy, fanaticism, and admiration.


    In just three minutes, those who doubted and thought lowly of Wu Mo had a 180-degree change in their opinion of him. Many leaders had even begun to arrange for their subordinates to visit him.


    For the newbies who were still a little inexperienced in other techniques, Wu Mo''s appearance was simply a bomb.


    While the others were still ying around, he had already started to turn the tables.


    There was noparison.


    Those who already knew about his work long ago felt equally excited.


    What they saw were only the first versions. The first version of the Invisibility Armor had been slightly off in terms of size, and the Spirit Wave hadsted for a shorter time. However, what Wu Mo was showing them was obviously an improved version, and in their eyes, they were perfect perfect.


    "Tsk, tsk, tsk, this piece of equipment is so intricate Such a young cksmith actually made it. It''s simply unbelievable!!"


    Looking at the Invisibility Armor in Wu Mo''s hand and the glossy wings on it that were constantly shing with light, Yuan Gang could not help but speak.


    "No, it''s obvious that the Spirit Wave Sword is moreplicated. That ordinary-looking hilt can actually withstand a temperature of more than 5,000 degrees. If I hadn''t seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed it!" the principal of Qingnan Academy said with a moved expression.


    "It''s really beyond my imagination. These two pieces of equipment are perfect. I can''t find any ws!"


    Song Yi felt some regret in his heart. He should have talked more with this young man more than an hour ago.


    Wu Mo''s performance was stronger than any young man he had ever seen. He was also very polite and knew how to restrain his edge.


    Before Wu Mo went on stage, even Song Yi had made a mistake.


    He had thought that Wu Mo was just an ordinary graduate student.


    Just as he was feeling regretful, the others were thinking about how they could get Wu Mo, this popr person, to join their organization.


    In the audience, Bai Li and Chu Li sighed to themselves. It had only been a while since theyst saw each other, but the two pieces of equipment had obviously improved. Both their effects and the appearances were more perfect than before.


    After bing famous, he could still calm down and fix some of the ws in his equipment. This was the difference between Wu Mo and other cksmiths!<novelnext></novelnext>


    Looking at the young man standing straight on the stage, the two of them had aplicated expression.


    Since he had such abilities at a young age, it was certain that Wu Mo''s status and strength would definitely surpass theirs in a few years!


    The exhibition hall gradually became quiet as Wu Mo looked at the three judges and waited for theirments.


    Xu Wuyue stood at the side and looked at the dumbfounded soldiers in the audience. He was a little excited too.


    There were many familiar military leaders in the audience, and they all looked at Wu Mo with a trace of yearning.


    Xu Wuyue did not need to think far to know what was on their minds.


    "Don''t even think about it. Wu Mo is a member of the Fifth Research Department. Even God can''t take him away!"


    As he thought of this, the smile on his face became increasingly brilliant.


    The three master cksmiths in the judging panel exchanged looks. They could see the shock in each other''s eyes.


    The surprise and shock that Wu Mo had brought to them was so great that even the three experienced forging masters could not react in such a short time.


    "Elder Song, since you''re so powerful, why don''t you take the lead?" The principal of Qingnan Academy, Chen Yuansong, cupped his hands to Song Yi and said respectfully.


    "Yes, this is no small matter. Elder Song, please go first."


    Yuan Gang, who was sitting in the middle, immediately gestured for Song Yi to go ahead. It was obvious that the two of them knew how important this evaluation was.


    The two pieces of equipment that Wu Mo had developed possessed strong strategic significance.


    If they could not give an appropriate evaluation, it would be inevitable for some ambiguity to ur.


    Besides, Elder Song was the most respected among the three of them. In terms of forging skills, Yuan Gang and Principal Chen were no match for him. Although the three of them were seven-star masters, there was still a gap between their strengths.


    Hence, they asked Elder Song to evaluate Wu Mo first.


    Elder Song did not refuse. After a few seconds of thought, he said, "Wu Mo, the two pieces of equipment that you''ve forged have excellent effects. While the ideas are novel, they still retain a high level of professionalism. The Spirit Wave Sword, especially, has integrated modern technology and forging technology wlessly. Even I can''t find any problems with at such short notice!


    "I''ve been in the field of smithing for more than 40 years, and I''ve never seen a genius as talented as you. If you''re willing, I could... What I mean is, the two pieces of equipment you''ve developed are extremely perfect, so my evaluation is perfect!"


    Seeing that Academician Xu on the stage was looking at him like a hawk, Song Yi quickly changed the subject and gave his evaluation.


    The judging panel of master cksmiths in the exhibition would always change, but the evaluations of "substandard", "pass", "good", "excellent", and "outstanding" had never changed.


    They never imagined that the standard, which had been maintained for decades, would be broken by Wu Mo.


    The audience was shocked when they heard Elder Song''s evaluation.


    Although they knew that none of the cksmiths present couldpare to Wu Mo in terms of strength and that he would certainly receive a very high evaluation, they still did not expect Elder Song to give him a perfect evaluation.


    As the name suggested, the cksmith''s product had to be perfect in all aspects and have strong practical significance.


    One would only obtain a perfect evaluation when these two requirements were met.


    However, the cksmiths who participated in the exhibition were rtively young, so most of them had only received either a pass or a good evaluation.


    Only those who had solid basic skills and those who were more talented and willing to work hard could get an excellent or outstanding evaluation.

 Chapter 284 Taking The Audience By Surprise

    After all, the judges were all seven-star forging masters. They had great vision, and very few young cksmiths were capable of receiving an excellent or outstanding evaluation.


    There was a limited number of them at the exhibition.


    However, the two pieces of equipment that Wu Mo disyed were out of the ordinary. The Invisibility Armor and the Spirit Wave Sword were not only scientifically-designed, but their internal energy was also extremely stable.


    The effects of invisibility and the lightsaber''s power were beyondmon sense. Even the three knowledgeable judges had never seen equipment that could make one physically invisible.


    The only current effects that were simr to invisibility were aura concealment or creation of thick fog to hide one''s body.


    Therefore, in the eyes of the three judges, the equipment developed by Wu Mopletely blew all the young cksmiths who were participating in the equipment exhibition out of the water!


    It was incredibly reasonable to give him a perfect evaluation.


    "Elder Song''s words are extremely true. Wu Mo''s imagination is heavenly, and he''s able to materialize his ideas into equipment. Such a genius is very rare even in the entire Nine Provinces, so my evaluation is also perfect!"


    Yuan Gang looked at Wu Mo with a gaze of approval and immediately gave him the same evaluation as Elder Song.


    "Academician Xu, you''re really lucky to have such a hardworking researcher like Wu Mo in the Fifth Research Department. I hope you can train him well. As for the two pieces of equipment that Wu Mo showed us earlier, Elder Yuan and Elder Song have already exined, so I won''t go into detail. I think they''re perfect!" Chen Yuansong, the principal of Qingnan Academy, said emotionally.


    Right then, Xu Wuyue was overjoyed as he stood on the stage. Wu Mo''s skills had been proven by the perfect evaluation from the three big shots. He had surpassed all the young cksmiths. Even six-star cksmiths might not be able to reach Wu Mo''s current achievements.


    As long as everyone remembered Wu Mo''s name, the Fifth Research Department would always keep its high reputation.


    Thinking of this, the smile on his face became increasingly bright.


    At this moment, Wu Mo, who was standing at the side, immediately bowed and thanked them.


    "Thank you, Masters, for your evaluation. I''ll definitely continue to work hard and forge even more excellent works."


    Wu Mo appeared excited. It was no surprise that he had worked so hard without rest since he received such high praise from Elder Song and the others,.


    Although he was confident of his own strength, the satisfaction and sense of achievement that came from hearing it from the mouths of the masters still made him extremely excited.


    "Thank you, three seniors. I, Xu Wuyue, would like to express my gratitude."


    Xu Wuyue cupped his hands at the three people not far away and prepared to leave with Wu Mo.


    Seeing the corner of thetter''s lips curl up, the soldiers in the audience instantly had conflicted expressions.


    "I can tell that Academician Xu is in a good mood," some of the audience members who knew Academician Xu immediately said with envy.


    "Of course. If a cksmith as awesome as Wu Mo were in my organization, I''d wake upughing from my dreams."


    "That''s true. I''m so jealous."


    "What a young neer. I''m afraid the Fifth Research Department will take off in the future!"


    Everyone began to whisper and discuss.


    As Wu Mo left, the audience watched his back with respect, admiration, and passion, but there was also a trace of hatred.


    Gu Hongzhuo, for instance, was sitting in the audience right then, and he was so angry that he almost gritted his teeth.


    If not for Wu Mo, he would have been crowned the best designer.


    But now, Wu Mo''s appearance had crushed all of his fantasies and expectations!<novelnext></novelnext>


    Although the results were not out yet, one could tell what the results were just by looking at the three judges'' expressions and state!


    He did not think that his field maintenance tform was any worse than the other works. If Wu Mo had only disyed one work like him, this would definitely not have happened!


    D*mn it, where did this guye from!


    He was not willing to ept it, but the results were set in stone. Even if he wanted to take back the glory that belonged to him, it was impossible!


    Therefore, he could only me the anger in his heart on Wu Mo. He decided that if he had the chance in the future, he would definitely teach Wu Mo a good lesson. He could not let this matter go!


    Gu Hongzhuo felt extremely aggrieved. He was the most powerful cksmith among the younger generation in the Seventh Research Department and one of the most likely candidates to win the exhibition.


    He was clearly the Neer King, but in the end, he had be someone else''s stepping stone.


    Many cksmiths from variousrge organizations had the same idea too. They initially stood a fighting chance for first ce, but Wu Mo''s "attack" was aplete blow to them.


    If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would not have believed it. A newbie could create such a thing. It was simply terrifying.


    Even if that guy had started learning at the age of five, he could not have surpassed them by so much.


    Comparing the two pieces of equipment that Wu Mo had researched to the ones that they were proud of, it was likeparing clouds to mud.


    Many people even began to doubt their lives. To be able to develop such amazing equipment in his 20s, was he even human?


    Of course, only a small number of people were hostile toward Wu Mo. Most of them regarded Wu Mo as a role model.


    Although they felt inferior, most still felt that they were not working hard enough. When they returned, they would continue to work hard!


    Many of the soldiers in the audience also had active ns in their hearts.


    Some of them wanted to visit the Fifth Research Department after the exhibition was over. They wanted to at least be on friendly terms with the Fifth Research Department.


    Others had the intention of looking into Wu Mo''s background. They wanted to know which academy such a powerful researcher came from.


    Plenty of people tried to dig out Wu Mo''s thoughts, but seeing how Academician Xu treated him like a treasure, they knew that they would unlikely seed.


    Nevertheless, despite everyone''s differing opinion of Wu Mo, most people still admired him.


    Wu Mo''s disy of equipment had given them a great shock in just a few minutes and even refreshed their views on the world.


    Simultaneously, the entire exhibition reached its climax.


    Even the seven-star masters were stirred, more so the soldiers and cksmiths of the younger generation.


    After watching Wu Mo''s demonstration, they knew that the other cksmiths would not be able to reach Wu Mo''s level no matter how good they were.


    At this point, the exhibition gradually quieted down.


    Wu Mo separated from Academician Xu and returned to his seat.


    On the second floor of the exhibition, Lu Yuansheng narrowed his eyes as he slowly leaned back in his chair.


    "He''s only in his early 20s, but he''se up with such a meticulous design. It''s terrifying. If Wu Mo joins the Military Department for his development, he might be able to surpass those forging masters in a dozen years."

 Chapter 285 A Video Call Invitation From Chu Qingyan

    He rubbed the ring on his finger and muttered to himself.


    "General Lu, would you like want me to send someone to follow up on this matter? You know that the rebel organization has been running rampant recently. I''m worried about it..." The middle-aged man sitting across from him immediately leaned forward and whispered.


    "No need. There are peak six-star martial artists in the Research Department. Even the rebel army leaders can''t break in so easily."


    Lu Yuansheng smiled and waved his hand, appearing delighted.


    The middle-aged man nodded and continued to pour tea for the leader.


    On the other side, Wu Mo walked down the stage and returned to his seat.


    Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf looked at him in a different light.


    "What''s wrong with you two? You don''t recognize me anymore after not seeing me for a few minutes?" Wu Mo asked curiously.


    "I''ve always believed that you could easily defeat Gu Hongzhuo, but I never thought that you would be preying on these small fry in White River''s exhibition. I''ve been too naive." Bald Eagle shook his head and said excitedly.


    Lone Wolf immediately gave Wu Mo a thumbs up.


    "There aren''t many people whom I admire, but you, Wu Mo, are one of them."


    Even though Lone Wolf was excited, he still did not talk much. Wu Mo was already used to it.


    "By the way, your presentation earlier was really cool. I''ve thought of many ways you could have shown it, such as cutting through metal with theser sword, or going invisible under light, but I didn''t expect you to cut a hunting tank."


    Bald Eagle continued to speak.


    "You don''t know this, but when you went on stage to demonstrate the equipment, the few old men sitting behind us all had their eyes wide open. They did not look any calmer than me."


    Hearing this, Wu Mo subconsciously turned his head. As expected, the few elders sitting not far away from him were looking at him with admiration and respect.


    When their eyes met, they subconsciously smiled kindly or nodded as if they recognized his strength.


    Wu Mo turned his head away in embarrassment. He wanted to tell Bald Eagle to keep a low profile, but he ended not saying anything.


    The phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.


    It was a good thing that he had muted it before he entered the exhibition hall. Otherwise, he would have attracted a lot of attention.


    Wu Mo took out his phone and muttered in his heart, ''Who would be calling me at this time?''


    "Huh?"


    Looking at the unknown number on the screen and the video call invitation, Wu Mo frowned.


    He had never left his phone number anywhere on the Inte before, so why would a stranger call him? Besides, it was a video call.


    He was still in the exhibition hall, so it was a little inconvenient to answer.


    On second thought, though, someone could be urgently looking for him.


    ? After a moment''s consideration, Wu Mo chose to ept.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    There was some snow on the screen as if the signal was a little unstable. However, an image soon took form.


    There was a dimly lit room in the video, and a person with a strange expression was sitting in front of the camera. Since the exhibition was brightly lit, Wu Mo could not see clearly for a moment.


    He ced his hand above the video, and when he saw the person''s face, his pupils shrank instantly!<novelnext></novelnext>


    The person who on his phone''s screen was none other than Chu Qingyan, Professor Tan''sst disciple who had helped the terrorists develop weapons!


    Chu Qingyan was sitting in aputer chair in aboratory. He held his chin with one hand and stared at Wu Mo with interest.


    Behind him were all kinds of advanced instruments and a huge research room.


    Wu Mo was surprised. He did not expect Chu Qingyan to contact him at this time. On top of that, it was a video call. If he remembered correctly, he and Chu Qingyan never had much interaction. Even in the past, they were just ordinary colleagues.


    "Why? Are you surprised to see me?"


    Chu Qingyan raised his eyebrows, a teasing smile filling his face.


    "Indeed, I''m surprised, surprised that you''re so thick-skinned. You still have the gall to contact the people here after being driven out of the White River province."


    Wu Mo gradually calmed down as he spoke with a cold face.


    Since this was an exhibition, he did not say the second half of his words out loud. They were too aggressive.


    Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf noticed Wu Mo''s strange expression and understood that the caller had to be Wu Mo''s enemy or something.


    In addition, when the two of young men saw each other''s smug look on the screen, they did not have a favorable impression the other.


    Chu Qingyan crossed his legs on the screen and arrogantly said, "You don''t need to be too surprised, becauseter, at the exchange conferences in the Nine Provinces, there will be more surprises.


    "Oh, that''s right, you don''t seem to be qualified to participate in the exchange conference. I forgot about that, haha. Aren''t you very powerful? Yet, you can''t participate in the conference? Don''t let me down," Chu Qingyan said sarcastically over the phone, disying the arrogance of a viin.


    Wu Mo''s eyes drooped slightly. His face was still as calm as an ancient well, but his eyes had be colder.


    "Whether I can participate or not is none of your business. Since you''ve chosen the Red Heart province, just do your own thing."


    Wu Mo snorted with disdain. If the current situation allowed it, he would have wanted to "greet" Chu Qingyan.


    "A wise man submits to his circumstances. Red Heart has the best development in the field of technology and forging in the Nine Provinces. Some want toe but don''t even qualify.


    "By the way, you''ve remained in the Fifth Research Department for a long time ever since I left. Have you developed any valuable equipment? Has the invisibility cloak been mass-produced?"


    Chu Qingyan did not pay attention to Wu Mo''s words, but he spoke in a provocative tone with a sneer on his face.


    After hearing Chu Qingyan''s harsh words, Wu Mo felt so angry that he almostughed.


    Chu Qingyan had merely used the blueprint given by terrorists to develop an uninspired one-piece armor set, yet he thought highly of himself. He was just being arrogant.


    Even though Wu Mo was a little ticked off, he would not lose his cool because of such a person.


    Now, whether it was the Invisibility Armor or the Spirit Wave Sword, they were both top-secret projects in the White River province. Everyone who had seen these two pieces of equipment had signed a confidentiality agreement.


    It could not be disclosed to anyone aside from those in the official organization.


    As a member of the Research Department, how could Wu Mo not know the rules?


    Therefore, when Chu Qingyan asked about those projects, Wu Mo just brushed it off.


    "I''ve been in the Fifth Research Department for less than a year, so of course I''m still studying. As for the Invisibility Armor, it''s still in a perfect state, and it hasn''t been mass-produced yet."


    Wu Mo tried his best to suppress his rage.


    "Haha, I haven''t seen you for a few months. I never thought you''d still be stuck at the same ce. What a joke."


    The smile on Chu Qingyan''s face grew even wider in the video. He was extremely satisfied with Wu Mo''s current state.

 Chapter 286 Seriously? Why Don’t You Do A Proper Evaluation Of Your Own Strength First?

    "Didn''t the old coots in the academy teach you anything? Hey, who''re the old coots behind you? I don''t know them," said Chu Qingyan in slight displeasure when he saw the unfamiliar but old faces sitting on the rows of chairs behind Wu Mo.


    At the same time, he thought, ''Is Wu Mo attending some important meeting?''


    When Wu Mo heard Chu Qingyan''s offensive words, he frowned.


    Academician Xu was his teacher and guide.


    Professor Tan had worked hard in the Fifth Research Department for his entire life and contributed much to the research center. The likes of Chu Qingyan was not allowed to point fingers at him and criticize him.


    With that thought in mind, Wu Mo said, "These people are all in charge of equipment designs. Also, you have no right to belittle anyone from the White River province!"


    Wu Mo took a very aggressive stance, and fire burned in his heart.


    "Pfft¡­


    "That''s hrious. Don''t you have anyone else in White River province? These old coots aren''t qualified enough to be engineers just yet!"


    When he noticed that Wu Mo''s expression was turning darker by the second, Chu Qingyan disdainfully said, "I''m only calling you to tell you that I''ve reached a breakthrough in my research. It''s also in the field of melee weapons and armor. It''s not something deviant like the Invisibility Armor, though. I don''t research such things.


    "The weapon I''ve developed has a de made from obsidian. It can instantly kill a Rank 6 beast. The armor grants the wearer great mobility. Even if I tell you the ideas and technology used for it, you wouldn''t understand. After all, the technology I use is 50 years ahead of that in the White River province."


    Chu Qingyan spoke proudly, and there was excitement on his face.


    "During the year-end exchange, I''ll make you see just how strong the equipment I''ve created is. Remember to drop by. But, if you didn''t even earn the right to attend the exchange, then it''s entirely your own fault that I look down on you!"


    Once he finished speaking, the audience members who heard their conversation instantly looked shocked.


    "Bah!"


    "Has he been drinking in broad daylight? Still, even drunkards wouldn''t say such things."


    "My God. Has he lost his mind?!"


    They were all incredibly surprised.


    Just who was Wu Mo''s caller? How could he say that he would not createbat suits like the Invisibility Armor?


    What the heck? The Invisibility Armor Wu Mo showed was something that surprised even a seven-star cksmith. In fact, not even Deputy Commander Yuan found any ws in it. One could say it was a perfect piece of equipment.


    Yet, that person made it sound like it was a torn shoe that could be tossed aside at any time. What nonsense was he spewing?


    Meanwhile, Chu Qingyan leaned forward a little and immediately heard the noiseing from Wu Mo''s side.


    "Heh, all you country bumpkins from the White River province must have never seen or heard about something as strong as my equipment before, have you? Aren''t you shocked?" Chu Qingyan said smugly.


    Right when Wu Mo wanted to say something, Bald Eagle could no longer hold back and snorted. "Haha! He''s seriously a friggin'' genius at making meugh!"


    Lone Wolf shook his head in resignation. "Don''t worry. We''ll be sure to attend the exchange."


    The people by his side alsoughed so much that they tilted backward.


    After what the person said and what Wu Mo disyed on the stage, they saw the person on the other side of the call as a frog in a well who thought that he stood at the top of the world after creating something marginally useful.


    How ridiculous.


    The peopleughed so hard that theirughter traveled into Chu Qingyan''s ears, but he only found their reactions strange.


    "Stop faking yourughter! When the exchangees, I''ll let you witness a real genius!" Chu Qingyan said smugly. He did not even wait for Wu Mo''s reaction and hung up so that he could eat.<novelnext></novelnext>


    To him, Wu Mo was just someone who did not know how to choose where to utilize his talents. Geniuses had to go to goodpanies or countries to be able to make full use of their skills, and talents like Chu Qingyan would never stay in a ce like the White River province.


    Wu Mo might have refused to admit defeat, but that was only because he had not seen Chu Qingyan''s equipment yet. Once he brought his full-body, all-in-one armor to the exchange, Wu Mo would be shocked into silence.


    With that thought in mind. Chu Qingyan left hisb.


    Meanwhile,ughter rang through the exhibition hall where Wu Mo was.


    The people acted as if they had heard the funniest joke in the world, and theyughed so hard that they were about to start crying.


    "He''s seriously something else. He has a great imagination, alright! I can''t believe he would say that Wu Mo is only a mediocre cksmith."


    "Some failures just need a belief to keep them going, you know?"


    "I''m curious. Just who exactly gave Wu Mo a call? What gave him the courage to say such arrogant things?"


    "There''s no need to even think about who he is. He''s definitely from the White River province. After all, all the talented youngsters within the province are already gathered in the exhibition hall."


    "He sure can toot his own horn. It''s just an obsidian de. I was wondering what kind of powerful technology he used, and that''s it? The Spirit Wave Sword Wu Mo created can destroy it!"


    The audience chatted among themselves and were incredibly excited for the national exchange.


    They wanted to see what sort of expression that person would have once he saw Wu Mo''s Invisibility Armor.


    He would not be able to run away from being utterly defeated by Wu Mo.


    So long as Wu Mo was around, that arrogant young man and all of the young cksmiths in the Red Heart province would fail to match up to him.


    Most of the people in the hall gazed at Wu Mo like they were trying to suck up to him. They also looked incredibly excited.


    When Wu Mo saw the excited looks from the people, he nodded with a smile.


    Even without that phone call, Wu Mo would not have mended his rtionship with Chu Qingyan.


    Ever since he hurt Professor Tan and ruined the Fifth Research Department''s reputation, Wu Mo had treated him as an enemy.


    Besides, Chu Qingyan had made all kinds of mistakes and created weapons for terrorists. Wu Mo despised him from the bottom of his heart.


    If he was given the chance, he would definitely defeat Chu Qingyan in terms of their equipment and in realbat. Wu Mo was not scared of him.


    When Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf saw the change in Wu Mo''s eyes, they did not say anything to interrupt him.


    At that moment, both of them knew that Wu Mo was furious.


    Wu Mo took a deep breath, and his expression gradually became calm.


    Before the day of the exchange, he would suppress his grudge and only vent when it was time to defeat Chu Qingyan.


    They looked at the exhibition, which was still ongoing.


    However, after what had just happened, their excitement in looking at the exhibits dimmed a little.


    For one, Wu Mo''s equipment was the most exciting part of the exhibition.


    Hence, it was only natural for the equipment that showed upter to not be as exciting.


    Two, after that phone call, most people were just thinking about the identity of the person who had said such arrogant things.

 Chapter 287 The End Of The Exhibition

    The cksmiths'' equipment disy segment was still ongoing at the exhibition, but by now, most of the audience members had begun to be distracted.


    It could not be helped. Wu Mo''s disy had been too explosive. Other cksmiths just seemed like a downgrade now.


    As a result, the cksmiths in the business world suffered a small loss. After all, no matter how outstanding they were, it would be difficult for them to reach Wu Mo''s heights.


    Just like that, the two-hour exhibition segment slowly came to an end. A total of 60 cksmiths had gone on stage during that period.


    The fact that they were qualified to demonstrate their work indicated they were all outstanding young cksmiths in the White River province.


    Under the three seven-star masters'' evaluation, one person received "perfect", two received "outstanding", eleven received "excellent", twenty-eight received "good", nine "passed", and no one failed.


    The exhibition hade to a perfect end, and the wonderful works disyed during its run refreshed many people''s view of the world.


    It also allowed the leaders of many organizations to have a deeper understanding of the wonderful cksmiths.


    Unsurprisingly, Wu Mo became the most dazzling man in the room. Not only did he receive great attention from many leaders, but he also revived the Fifth Research Department''s reputation.


    As expected, he won the Best New Designer Award, and the crowd invited him to the stage again.


    The host asked Wu Mo about his academic views and his source of inspiration for forging equipment.


    Wu Mo never enjoyed iming credit or showing his face in public, so he only answered with a few words.


    After that, it was time for the awards to be given out. Everything was progressing steadily.


    Wu Mo stood upright on the stage and bashfully epted his prize from the organizer.


    He felt a slight heaviness in his hand and immediately stored the prize in his Interspatial Ring. After Wu Mo thanked the organizer, he quickly walked down the stage.


    Next were the Rookie Award and the constion prizes.


    Gu Hongzhuo stood up and walked up to the stage with a cold expression. When he passed Wu Mo, he even bumped into his shoulder lightly to provoke him.


    "You got lucky this time. I''ll defeat you easily next time."


    He snorted coldly and hurried up the stage.


    Wu Mo, on the other hand, returned to his seat as though he did not hear him.


    That guy called Gu Hongzhuo was emotionally unstable. If he kept fighting for too much credit and profit, he would not be able to go far in the future.


    Therefore, Wu Mo pretended not to hear him.


    Not long after, the Rookie Award and constion prizes were presented.


    After that, there was a long speech with closed eyes. After more than ten minutes, everyone left.


    "Let''s go, Wu Mo. We''ll send you back." Bald Eagle stood up and said with a smile.


    Lone Wolf stood up by supporting himself on the armrest of his seat. Then he followed Wu Mo with some difficulty.


    Wu Mo noticed that Lone Wolf''s injuries did not seem to be healing, and he could not help but frown.


    He quickly walked to Lone Wolf''s side to help him.


    Unexpectedly, Lone Wolf actually sped up and staggered away from him.


    Uh...


    Wu Mo was a little stunned. What was Lone Wolf doing?


    "Don''t take it to heart. He''s just that prideful," Bald Eagle exined to Wu Mo with a smile.


    "Alright," he said.


    Wu Mo nodded. He looked at Lone Wolf from the back as the man staggered, and he felt a tinge of sadness.


    Lone Wolf had served in the special forces for many years andpleted numerous difficult missions. His strength was also outstanding. He definitely found it difficult to ept when his leg suddenly became disabled.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Even though he pretended to be fine on the surface, Wu Mo knew in his heart that a headstrong person like Lone Wolf was not as rxed as he appeared.


    The three of them left the exhibition together. Academician Xu and Professor Tan had to meet some old friends, so they nned to go backter.


    Wu Mo sat in the military vehicle and watched as the exhibition building grew farther and farther away. He was still a little excited.


    He had gained a lot from this trip to the exhibition.


    Not only did he see many high-tech equipment, but he also saw many photos and statues of powerful cultivators and cksmiths from the early stages of the spirit energy restoration era.


    He also met Elder Song, whose name had spread far and wide, as well as many other generals and leaders.


    On top of that, he gained a deeper understanding of the strength that the younger-generation cksmiths in the White River province possessed.


    Some unpleasant things like Gu Hongzhuo''s provocation, as well as Chu Qingyan''s video call and deration of war, all made Wu Mo a little angry.


    However, he received positive feedback from the exhibition andalso won the title of Best New Designer.


    The reward was still lying in his Interspatial Ring as he did not have time to look at it.


    The driver drove the military vehicle smoothly on the road, while Wu Mo and Bald Eagle talked about the interesting things that had happened at the exhibition. They returned to the Fifth Research Department in about 20 minutes.


    After Wu Mo got back to the Research Department, he parted ways with Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf.


    Now that Wu Mo was back from the exhibition, their duty to protect him hade to an end.


    Lone Wolf was moving on to his special mission, which Wu Mo could not ask about.


    "Be careful, you two. Keep in touch when you''re free."


    Wu Mo smiled and patted Bald Eagle''s shoulder, winking at him.


    "Of course, once we finish our secret mission, we''ll definitely have a few drinks with you."


    Bald Eagle grinned, and Lone Wolf nodded without saying anything.


    He patted the lightsaber at his waist and contemted for a while before thanking Wu Mo.


    "You''re wee. It''s no big deal. I''ll be happy as long as youplete your mission safely. I''ll personally cook for you when youe over next time."


    Wu Mo pointed in the vi''s direction.


    "It''s a deal. You can get back to your work. We''re about to leave."


    Bald Eagle expressed his anticipation before he walked out of the Research Department with Lone Wolf.


    Wu Mo''s eyes lit up as he looked at Lone Wolf''s strenuous steps.


    He wanted to speed up his research and development of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear so that Lone Wolf could recover to his peak state as soon as possible!


    With that in mind, he quickened his pace and headed straight for theboratory.


    A few minutester, he arrived at the research building and took the elevator to the top floor, returning to that familiar ce.


    It was already four o''clock in the afternoon, and most of the researchers had gone to rest or eat.


    A few researchers, who were sitting on the couch and chatting, immediately greeted Wu Mo when they saw him.


    "Wu Mo, didn''t you go to the exhibition? Why are you back so soon?" an older researcher asked in surprise.


    "The exhibition''s over. I got back earlier because I took a military vehicle."


    Wu Mo greeted everyone and entered theboratory.


    Everyone could not help but exchange nces when they saw this.


    "Why is he in such a hurry? Did Wu Mo not perform well at the exhibition?" one of the young men asked doubtfully.

 Chapter 288 Rewards Inventory

    "How is that possible? Many senior researchers in our department can''t evenpare to him in terms of skill, much less the younger generation. Wouldn''t Wu Mo demolish them by attending White River''s exhibition?"


    "That''s true. Maybe Wu Mo found some inspiration, and he''s preparing to realize it."


    "Tsk tsk, I can''t help but be impressed by his spirit of academic research."


    "There''s only return when there''s effort. That''s why he''s able to develop excellent equipment."


    Everyone started to talk about him with envious eyes.


    A few of them even gave up on cking off and prepared to work a little longer.


    Meanwhile, Wu Mo returned to theboratory, and the first thing he did was to close the door. Then, he took out the new Best Designer reward from his infinite Interspatial Ring.


    The organizers were usually more generous with the reward for the exhibition''s best designer. Otherwise, Gu Hongzhuo would not have hated him so much.


    A ssy ck box with a matte surface soon appeared on the table, and Wu Mo opened thetch expectantly.


    There was not much in the box. There was a small award of only 20 centimeters in height and about 200 grams in weight.


    The entire trophy was made of a rare metal, rhodium. It was silvery-white in color, it had a high-end look.


    Wu Mo knew that its price was just as beautiful. A trophy like this, which weighed nearly 200 grams, was worth at least £¤600,000.


    In addition to the trophy, there was also a piece of paper in the box, which was equivalent to an award certificate.


    A pair of light gray gloves was the only other thing. They looked ordinary and had a dull surface.


    Wu Mo''s heart skipped a beat. The exhibition organizers would never award someone with ordinary items. Hence, the more ordinary an item looked, the more valuable it might be.


    With that in mind, he immediately asked the system to identify the gloves. Soon, the values and functions of the gloves appeared before him.


    [Equipment identification sessful. One hundred points consumed. Its attributes are as follows:


    [Equipment Type: Gloves


    [Equipment Name: The Craftsman''s Gloves.


    [Equipment Grade: Epic


    [System Score: 68


    [Equipment Effect: 1. Spirit Shield (When receiving damage, 50% of the damage will be offset by the consumption of spirit energy at a 1:200 ratio.)


    [2. cksmith''s Heart (Increases mental recovery speed by 20%, reduces mental power consumed when forging equipment by 10%.)


    [3. Ocean of Knowledge (Wearer enters a state of immersion when reading. Learning efficiency increases by 100%. Lasts for a duration of 90 minutes per day.)


    [Rune Effect: Tier 2 me Resistance Rune (Can iste heat up to 3,000 degrees.)


    [Equipment Evaluation: This equipment is tailor-made for a cksmith. Itbines defense, learning, and spirit energy recovery into one. All of the equipment''s effects are highly consistent. It was made by a seven-star master cksmith.]


    Wu Mo was a little taken aback while looking at the light blue system interface that was slowly dissipating before him.


    He never expected this Epic-grade equipment to be a custom-made piece, and it had evene from the hands of a seven-star master.


    As he had expected, the organizers would not reward him with ordinary items.


    He immediately took the gloves out of the prize box and put them on.


    The moment the gloves were on his hands, he felt different.


    Ordinary gloves would make him feel impeded or restricted whenever he wore them.<novelnext></novelnext>


    They were inconvenient for both work and writing.


    However, the gloves that Wu Mo currently wore felt like a thinyer of cicada''s wings. Not only did they not affect his sense of touch, but they were also incredibly light as they clung to his hands. One would not even realize that one was wearing gloves after a long time if one did not deliberately feel for them.


    As such, they were great equipment for both work and life. If Wu Mo did not fear that wearing them 24 hours a day would affect their durability or get them dirty, he would not take them off.


    After counting his gains, Wu Mo ced the trophy and certificate back in his Interspatial Ring.


    He was prepared to put on the Craftsman''s Gloves and start working.


    He could feel the effect of the gloves'' spirit energy recovery.


    Right then, his spiritual power was extremely focused. He would certainly be more efficient than usual if he decided to study or work.


    It just so happened that after attending the exhibition, he had a lot of inspiration and ideas that could be implemented. He nned to take advantage of the immersive feeling to continue developing the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    Wu Mo turned on theputer and looked at the gear''s 3D model. After observing it for a while, he discovered a small problem.


    He knew that this was the effect of his immersed learning state. He stopped dwelling on it and immediately devoted himself to the gear''s research and development.


    He would enter the forging space to look up the necessary information and return to theputer to continue modifying the model.


    An hour passed by in a sh for Wu Mo while he was in that focused state.


    However, before he could put his new ideas into practice, the effect of full concentration disappeared.


    Nevertheless, Wu Mo had done a lot of things in the past hour. He had adjusted the model, so the current model was more scientific than before, and itsyout was more practical.


    The knowledge he had learned before was also imprinted in his mind, and he could remember it better.


    In the past, he would not have been able toplete so much work in less than two or three hours.


    "This immersion effect isn''t bad, but the duration''s a little short."


    Wu Mo looked at the light gray gloves, and he was extremely satisfied.


    At the same time, he was slightly disappointed. He thought that the gloves'' effect wouldst 100 times longer if he put them on in the forging space, but apparently, that was not the case. The duration was still only an hour.


    Despite that, Wu Mo was quite satisfied. If it could actuallyst 100 times longer, this equipment''s value would probably rise to Divine grade


    While he was sighing about the master cksmith''s high level, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.


    Wu Mo subconsciously looked at his phone. When he saw that it was a call from Academician Xu, he immediately picked it up.


    "Hello, Academician Xu. Are you looking for me?


    "Ah... okay, I''ll be right there."


    After hearing that Academician Xu had something to say to him, Wu Mo quickly hung up the phone and rushed to Academician Xu''s office.


    At 5.20 pm, Wu Mo pushed open the door and walked into Academician Xu''s office.


    He thought that Academician Xu only wanted to talk to him about the exhibition. He did not expect to see three people sitting in the office.


    Academician Xu and Old Wen were sitting on either side of the spacious conference table. The person sitting at the head of the table was a seemingly unfamiliar middle-aged man.


    The man had a head of short hair, his eyebrows were highly arched, and his facial features were well-defined, giving off a valiant spirit.


    What surprised Wu Mo the most was the formal suit that the man was wearing. Two golden ears of rice decorated his pine-green epaulet, which was iid with golden stars.

 Chapter 289 Lieutenant General Lu Yuansheng

    That¡­ was a lieutenant general!


    Wu Mo''s thoughts came to a screeching halt when he saw the three people sitting at the meeting table.


    When did someone at the rank of a lieutenant generale to the Fifth Research Department?


    It must be said that military leaders at the rank of lieutenant general could usually only be found at big or mega battlefields.


    Not even people like Academician Xu could meet military leaders like that whenever he wanted, much less normal people.


    No wonder Wu Mo was so surprised.


    "Why are you standing there, daydreaming? Come and sit."


    When Academician Xu saw Wu Mo walk in, he immediately beamed and beckoned him over.


    Lieutenant General Lu Yuansheng shed him a kind smile while he remained seated at the head of the table.


    "Oh¡­ okay."


    Wu Mo nodded instinctively and moved his feet to sit right across from the lieutenant general.


    He felt a little uneasy. While he was on his way there, he never anticipated something like this to happen.


    "Wu Mo, this gentleman over here is Lieutenant General Lu Yuansheng. He''s visiting the Fifth Research Department to give you your reward. You have to continue working hard," Xu Wuyue said with a chuckle. However, Wu Mo could still tell that he was quite excited and worked up at the moment.


    No one expected Lieutenant General Lu to visit the Fifth Research Department. Xu Wuyue had only gone on to discuss the recent happenings with a few of his close friends when the exhibition ended. Hence, he was surprised when Lieutenant General Lu invited him to the second floor to talk about proper business.


    Even at this very moment, Xu Wuyue still found everything to be surreal.


    Wu Mo might have done well during the exhibition, but it was not to the point where a lieutenant general would personally visit their department.


    Professor Tan was smiling from ear to ear by the side. He could not hide his grin even if he tried.


    "Thank you foring, Sir. I''ll continue doing my best." Wu Mo immediately stood up and saluted the lieutenant general.


    Lieutenant General Lu waved at Wu Mo to sit down and praised him, "Haha! As expected of the young man who created a Divine-grade weapon. You stand out as an absolute genius in terms of your thought processes, awareness, and spirit as a researcher among the younger generation!"


    Once Wu Mo heard what he said, he knew that Lieutenant General Lu had read his information before, and his face turned red from the praise. He even stammered as he spoke.


    "Sir, keep your praises short. Wu Mo is a shy boy," Xu Wuyue said with a smile, and Lu Yuansheng nodded immediately with a look of understanding.


    When Professor Tan saw this, he jumped in and said, "Wu Mo, we called you here because we have something important to tell you. Lieutenant General Lu regards the two pieces of equipment that you''ve created with great importance. He has already signed the papers to grant you your reward. In a few more days, everything will be made official.


    "Also, you''re going to be rewarded for theser technology and the pulse burn theory, both of which you submitted in the past. The downloads of your theories on the academic literature website have gone past 100,000, which means that your theories are among the yearly top 10 most downloaded papers. Along with your contributions and the sessful melee battles brought by your mass-production n, Lieutenant General Lu has decided to break precedence and promote you."


    Professor Tan grew increasingly happy as he spoke, making it seem like he was the one who was going to be rewarded.


    Wu Mo''s eyes instantly widened when he heard that. He knew that his equipment and theories would definitely allow him to be rewarded, but he never expected the day toe so soon, and the reward was greater than he ever imagined!


    When Lu Yuansheng noticed that Wu Mo was in a daze, he smiled and said, "Your reward and the acknowledgment of your contributions were given to you after my colleagues evaluated your aplishments. You gained everything through your skills and hard work. I''m just here to deliver the news and give you your reward."


    He then took out a piece of paper from his pocket. After clearing his throat, he said, "''I bring good news. Wu Mo, while you were working at the Fifth Research Department, you contributed greatly to the military and helped immensely to expand the White River province. For that, you''ve received second-ss merit. I, Lieutenant General Lu, hereby reward you with the title of a major and the Research Pioneer Badge. I hope that you will continue working hard and strive to achieve further greatness as a cksmith."


    Lu Yuansheng''s voice was sonorous and full of power. Xu Wuyue and Professor Tan were both incredibly excited as they listened to him.


    Meanwhile, Wu Mo was really fired up too, and he also felt emotional.<novelnext></novelnext>


    In less than half a year, he had been promoted from a second lieutenant to a major. The speed of his promotion could bepared to a rocket.


    It must be said that if a person wanted to be promoted, not only did a person need to serve in the military, he or she also needed to make contributions.


    However, if a soldier''s contributions were great and meaningful, the military would break precedence and promote said soldier.


    Still, this was as hard as trying to get pigs to fly to normal people. Even if a normal person served for 10 years as a soldier, his or her military rank would just be that of a chief petty officer. If the person became a military officer and served for 10 years, he or she would only be a junior officer.


    However, Wu Mo had be a major in less than a year after he joined the department.


    Once he heard his rewards, even he felt that he was being promoted a little too quickly.


    ''Didn''t everyone say that getting promoted in the military is extremely hard? I''ve only been here for a short time!''


    Once Lu Yuansheng finished reading out the rewards in the office, he pushed a red box to Wu Mo.


    In it was his military uniform, his shoulder stripes, and the Research Pioneer Badge.


    "Thank you for helping me grow and showing me kindness."


    Wu Mo stood up and saluted Lieutenant General Lu.


    Lieutenant General Lu then shook Wu Mo''s hand and said, "All these salutes are mere formalities. So long as you continue to possess the same determination and vigor and continue developing even greater pieces of equipment, it will be better than anything you can do for me and for the White River province."


    Wu Mo nodded somberly after he heard Lieutenant General Lu''s sincere words.


    He did not promise him anything grand, but he did keep the lieutenant general''s words in mind.


    "That''s great. The two pieces of equipment you''ve created are epochal. We wouldn''t be going overboard even if we gave you greater rewards for your achievements. If you continue working hard, your military rank will only rise. You''ll have even more surprises waiting for you in the future," Lu Yuansheng spoke gently and found Wu Mo even more pleasing to the eye. Not only did he have the spirit of a researcher, but he was also humble. His abilities were also great. He was truly a well-rounded fighter.


    If they had more people like Wu Mo in the province, they would certainly overtake the Red Heart province in the future.


    "Alright. I should get going. The award ceremony for your theories will be held the day after tomorrow. Just carry on with your usual preparations for that."


    "We''ll send you off."


    Xu Wuyue and Professor Tan stood up together.


    Wu Mo was still mulling it over, so he said nothing.


    As the trio went downstairs, Wu Mo stared at Lieutenant General Lu''s back, and he came to an understanding.


    "I have to create the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear before the exchange."


    He clenched his fists and intended to return to theboratory to resume his work.


    But after taking just a few steps, his stomach rumbled.


    It was only at this moment that he realized he had not eaten lunch. In fact, he never came to a realization until it was dusk.


    His stomach was empty, and he felt a little lethargic.


    Wu Mo headed to the cafeteria without any hesitation.


    Even though he was pressed for time to create the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, his body was his capital for revolution. It would be counterproductive if he ruined it.

 Chapter 290 Completed Design

    At six o''clock in the evening, Wu Mo rushed back to theboratory building as thest ray of light in the sky dissipated.


    He was incredibly satisfied with dinner and a lot less dispirited now.


    Returning to the familiarboratory, Wu Mo continued to improve the 3D model of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear on hisputer. Whenever he encountered something he did not understand, he would enter the Divine-grade Forging Space to learn.


    He had spent thousands on the document, but he had only read a small part of it. There were still many techniques that he had yet to master.


    Time was of the essence, and the year-end conference was getting closer and closer. He had to finish the gear in advance, then contact Liao Dongcheng''s higher-ups and try to apply for a spot as soon as possible.


    If he couldplete it sessfully, not only would he be able to participate in the exchange conference as nned, but he would also be able to help Lone Wolf sooner.


    Lone Wolf was incredibly powerful. He was already a peak six-star cultivator and also a powerful presence in the special forces. If his leg injury did not recover, it would definitely affect his strength.


    However, Wu Mo now had the Craftsman''s Gloves, which allowed him to immerse himself in learning, so his speed inpleting the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear would definitely be faster.


    Time flew by, and it was alreadyte at night.


    Most of the rooms in the research building had fallen into silence. Only a certainboratory on the top floor was still illuminated by a dim yellow light.


    It was already 11.00 pm, and most of the researchers had left three hours ago.


    Only Wu Mo was still tirelessly adjusting the details of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s model.


    His brows were slightly furrowed, and an unknown light of wonder was shing in his eyes. At times he was excited, other times he was distressed.


    The model disyed on theputer screen before him had changed incredibly from its first version.


    "Using ropes to shoot and pull back the force isn''t enough to let the wearer change directions freely in the air. A jet is more stable!


    "The mechanical system is better. It can now work steadily for more than two hours. However, the controls are still a little cumbersome, so they should be improved."


    Wu Mo sat alone in theboratory, mumbling to himself in anguage that no one else could understand. He was in a state of focus.


    With his painstaking efforts, the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s model had be more refined, and it looked majestic.


    The Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear was generally in a matte silver color, and only the painted parts were coated with a heat-resistant material, which was dark gray.


    The gear was roughly made up of three parts. The main body consisted of tight-fitting armor that provided protection for the wearer and a jet device that helped with turning and flying.


    Since the device produced a very powerful force, the main body armor had to be fitted to the wearer''s figure, and the inertia caused by any eleration had to be distributed to every part of the wearer''s body.


    After all, not everyone who wore this gear would be physically strong like Lone Wolf. Wu Mo had already considered this in the early stages of research and development.


    Of course, in addition to the armor and propulsion device, the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear also had weapon slots on both sides, which allowed one to carry multiple weapons to deal with different enemies.


    However, the most important part of the armor was the adaptive artificial limb.


    When the wearer used the gear, the sensors in the armor would monitor the wearer''s current health condition.


    If the wearer had disabilities or serious injuries, the adaptive artificial limb within the armor would immediately be activated to rece some of the wearer''s lost abilities.


    For example, if the limping Lone Wolf put on a well-designed Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, the sensor in the device would immediately detect his injury.


    Once that happened, the armor''s right leg would be filled with memory foam to fix his injured right calf.


    At that time, the armor''s right leg would be controlled by the smart system, and it would seamlessly match Lone Wolf''s movements ording to the sensors'' data.


    Whether the wearers had a hand injury or a foot injury, after they put on the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, they would be able to exert their greatest strength, even greater than when they were at their peak.


    After all, the propulsion system could help cultivators wearing the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear to fly and greatly reduce their physical energy consumption.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Whether it was pursuit or reconnaissance, the propulsion device would y a great role.


    Moreover, more than two hours of continuous flight was enough to deal with most battles.


    Even if the gear''s internal energy was exhausted, it would only take five minutes to refill it with a new energy stone.


    Wu Mo knew that if a Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear could be invented, it would undoubtedly be more helpful to cultivators on the front line than the Spirit Wave Sword and Invisibility Armor.


    Ultimately, those two pieces of equipment had many limitations, but the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear could allow disabled people to stand up again. It could allow injured cultivators who could not participate in battle to pick up their weapons again.


    Of course, it was a good idea.


    However, the prerequisite technology for the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear was tooplicated. Even someone like Wu Mo had only developed a rough model so far.


    The difficulty of materializing itter would be even greater.


    "Sigh..."


    Sitting in front of theputer, Wu Mo let out a heavy sigh.


    He rubbed his eyes and stretched his back.


    Wu Mo subconsciously nced at the time at the lower right corner of theputer screen, and he could not help but appear surprised.


    "It''s already 12?"


    He saved the model and downloaded it to his phone. Then, he quickly got up and pushed theboratory door open.


    He could not even see his fingers outside the door, and there was no one in the entire corridor. Only the orange light in hisboratory continued to flicker.


    As light shone from theboratory, it created a fan-shaped halo in front of the door.


    It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.


    "Forget it, I''ll just go back and sleep for today."


    Wu Mo shook his head. He took off the Craftsman''s Gloves and threw them into his Interspatial Ring. After that, he immediately locked the door and left in a hurry.


    During those early hours, only the street lights were still shining in the Fifth Research Department.


    Since it was alreadyte autumn, the breeze that blew on his face was cold, making Wu Mo subconsciously shrink his neck. He nced at the yellow leaves on the ground that were blown up by the wind and rushed toward the vi.


    Ever since he went to the research building after attending the monthly meeting, he had not been back for more than 10 days.


    Resting in theboratory was not as good as resting in his room. Wu Mo had just done it to save time.


    However, now that the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s model had been finalized, the anxiety in his heart was no longer as strong as before.


    He took out his key and opened the courtyard door. He had not been back for half a month, and the flowers and nts in the courtyard were already showing signs of withering. Even so, Wu Mo could not care about that now.


    He returned to his bedroom on the second floor, took a quick shower, and fell asleep.


    After sleeping in theboratory for more than 10 days, Wu Mo finally had a good sleep on the soft bed.


    The night passed uneventfully, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the next morning.


    After Wu Mo went to the cafeteria to have breakfast, he continued to focus on learning about the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s technology.

 Chapter 291 Technical Difficulties

    He nned to finish all of the model''s small details by today and start researching how to develop the gear tomorrow.


    In the Divine-grade Forging Space, he stood beside the white worktable, holding scroll after scroll while studying new knowledge tirelessly.


    At this point, the bookshelves that were originally filled to the brim were already half empty.


    He stored all the information that he had thoroughly understood into his Interspatial Ring so that he could review them at any time in the future.


    Although he had not done much equipment refining during this period of time, he still felt his strength improving because of the increase in knowledge and techniques he had learned.


    Perhaps he would be able to reach the six-star rank after he forged the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear or after he finished participating in the exchange conference.


    Six-star cultivators were seen as masters.


    That meant they had truly stepped into a higher realm, even in the capital, where experts were asmon as clouds.


    A six-star cksmith was also someone whom thousands of people respected.


    Wu Mo could even be on an equal footing with the n leaders of some first-ss families.


    One should know that it was difficult to measure the profits that an advanced cksmith could produce.


    After all, he was a master that could forge Legendary equipment.


    Even in Treasure Trove Pavilion, a piece of Legendary-grade equipment was considered an extremely rare treasure. If they could befriend or work with a six-star cksmith, it would be equivalent to allowing their family or organization to take the express train. Would their development not be smooth sailing, then?


    However, bing a six-star cksmith was only Wu Mo''s short-term goal. His dream was to explore all areas of the forging field and be omnipotent.


    If the seven-star rank was not enough, then eight stars would do.


    If that was still not enough, he would be a legendary existence on the level of the moon and the sun!


    Wu Mo''s eyes were filled with determination. He gently ced the documents back in their original ce. Then, with a thought, he immediately disappeared from the forging space.


    He was back in theboratory.


    Knock knock knock!


    Just as his five senses returned, there was sudden knocking on the door.


    Wu Mo''s expression changed slightly, and he hurried to open the door.


    It was old Wen''s assistant, the one who had brought him and Bald Eagle on a tour of the workshop.


    "Brother Cheng, what happened?" Wu Mo immediately asked when he saw Cheng Wen''s anxious expression.


    "There''s a problem with the Invisibility Armor''s production workshop. Academician Xu asked me to invite you over."


    Assistant Cheng''s breathing was a little rapid.


    Although he was a peak five-star cksmith, he could not handle the situation in the workshop.


    Knowing that there might be some technical problems during the mass production, Wu Mo did not decline. He promptly closed the door and walked out of the research building with Cheng Wen.


    At this time, various organizations and institutions under the military headquarters had sent them many orders. There was an overload in the production of the Invisibility Armor and Spirit Wave Sword. The masters and auxiliary technicians who had been busy in the workshoptely must have been working extremely hard.


    Wu Mo and Assistant Cheng entered a military vehicle and rushed to the workshop.


    About 15 minutester, Wu Mo and Assistant Cheng arrived at the workshop.


    At this moment, the other researchers who also worked in the research building were already waiting at the same spot. Old Wen had also arrived.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Following Wu Mo''s arrival, many of the supporting researchers immediately informed him of the problem. Wu Mo discovered the problem too after an investigation.


    While the Invisibility Armor''s Dark Light Wings had superior performance, they were too sophisticated andplex. If the instrument in the workshop ran slowly, it could still make aplete copy, but if it ran too fast, its performance would suffer.


    As a result, the invisibility effect of thetest Invisibility Armors that were mass-produced was greatly affected.


    They might have understood the problem, but the Research Department did not have time to change the machine that supported higher-precision settings. Wu Mo could only choose to reduce the Dark Light Wings''plexity a little without affecting their performance.


    "Wu Mo, do you really want to improve the Dark Light Wings? Are you confident?"


    Upon hearing Wu Mo''s suggestion, old Wen suddenly felt somewhat uneasy.


    After all, a piece of equipment had to be designed and improved many times before its final version could be produced or mass-produced.


    Besides, Wu Mo had personally forged this piece of equipment, so it was already close to perfection.


    Even old Wen could not find any ws in its design. Could he seed in further improving such a perfect piece of work?


    Assistant Cheng and a few other researchers were also worried.


    Either way, he had already found the problem. At most, he could slow down the speed of mass production. This way, even though he could not meet the demand for orders, he could at least keep producing the armor.


    However, improving equipment was not a quick process, Not to mention, Wu Mo had created the armor half a year ago. Unless Wu Mo''s strength had improved, he would not have any new insights or inspiration.


    "Don''t worry, I only need an hour toplete it," Wu Mo said with confidence.


    Then, he immediately brought one of the mass-produced Invisibility Armors into theb.


    Thisboratory was used by the researchers to assist in mass production. It was only a Level 2boratory, and it did not have any good equipment. As such, everyone was a little suspicious.


    Even if Wu Mo had once disyed great skill, his im of improving the equipment within an hour did not seem reliable.


    Before everyone''s expectant and somewhatplicated gazes, Wu Mo closed theboratory door and immediately began his improvement work.


    Looking at the brand-new Invisibility Armor in front of him and touching the soft wings on it, Wu Mo felt a sense of familiarity.


    He looked at the equipment before him as if he was looking at a pet that he had carefully raised. The sense of familiarity moved him slightly.


    "Let''s begin. To help more people, I''ll have to trouble you to change a little." Wu Mo smiled and muttered to himself.


    He swiftly calmed his mind and entered the Divine-grade Forging Space.


    Even though it had only been a few months since hest modified it sessfully, Wu Mo had also learned a lot of new knowledge and techniques in that span of time.


    His understanding of forging was very different from before.


    Therefore, in his opinion, the Invisibility Armor still had some shorings.


    As he stood in front of the worktable, Wu Mo put on the Craftsman''s Gloves and instantly entered a state of immersion.


    He flicked his fingers and quickly removed the device with the Dark Light Wings from the armor. Then, he took off pieces of the wings and threw the connecting device into the furnace to melt it.


    Previously, he had obtained quite a lot of materials from forging the Spirit Wave Sword. Now, he was taking a portion of them to improve the connector, and they were more than enough.


    Turning his eyes, he skillfully used his mental power to control the fire and temperature in the furnace. Soon, the metal frame, which was originally more than a meter long, melted into the size of a fist.


    After filtering out the impurities, Wu Mo promptly threw in the materials he had prepared.


    This time, the metal he was about to synthesize was softer than the previous one. Even if it was affected by wind or strong light, it would recover faster than the previous one.

 Chapter 292 Easily Settled

    Of course, his use of the new alloy this time was also a result of learning from the system''s documents. Not only did it inherit all of the advantages that the connecting device''s old version had, but it also enhanced two of its functions. One could say that the new alloy was very suitable for making the connecting device.


    As Wu Mo thought about the new connected modules, he continued to throw materials into the furnace.


    In about 10 minutes, the new alloy had been smelted.


    The new version of the alloy was highly ductile, and it had a certain memory capacity. Even if it was made deformed by an external force, it would quickly return to its original state.


    However, updating the alloy alone would not solve the problem of the overlyplicated connecting device.


    He ced the alloy solution into the crucible next to the worktable and began to cool it.


    Then, Wu Mo immediately took out a set of high-quality paper from his Interspatial Ring.


    He ground some ink, picked up the pen, and spread the casting paper on the white worktable. Then, he began to draw a new connecting device.


    Although the old connecting device could quickly adjust the angle of the Dark Light Wings ording to the sensor''s data, because each control point was only connected to one wing, it led to the entire device having thousands of connection and control points. That made it veryplicated to mass produce.


    However, Wu Mo now had a new perspective. He had learned a lot up to this point, and thanks to the knowledge and technology he had learned, he had improved his skills in design and forging.


    This was a new type of connecting device that he had designed. Each point of connection could control 15 Dark Light Wings and adjust their angles.


    The original single-point connecting device would remain in the area that the new device could not cover.


    That way, the armor still maintained its stealth effect, but the original thousands ofplex connecting points had been reced by 80 integrated connecting points. The overall number had been reduced by more than 10 times.


    Even so, due to theplexity of the new integrated device, the overall mass production process had only been optimized by about five times.


    Wu Mo''s eyes flickered. The next moment, he flicked his wrist and the casting pen in his hand stopped. An improved design of the connecting device appeared on the paper.


    After finding no problems following a slight inspection, Wu Mo immediately stepped forward and poured the cooled alloy liquid into the mold. He cast it in three parts.


    The total time spent was nearly 40 minutes, and the thirdyer of the device was stamped into the shape and characteristics he wanted.


    He then quickly installed all threeyers of device. With that, the improved version of the connecting device waspleted!


    Looking at the integrated device in front of him, which was embedded with a pair of glowing wings and shining with colorful lights, Wu Mo felt a little excited.


    He immediately put it back on the Invisibility Armor before he picked the armor up and shook it.


    The built-in sensors in the armor felt the movement of the cloak, and the integrated device immediately adjusted the angle of the wings.


    In the next second, the armor in Wu Mo''s hand disappeared, leaving behind only a chaotic dark purple light.


    "I never thought the integrated device could control the angle of the wings at a faster speed. It looks like I had the right idea!"


    Wu Mo''s eyes flickered, and he was overjoyed.


    If the Invisibility Armor could be further improved, mass production would subsequently be elerated by at least several times. Once that happened, no matter how many orders came in, the Fifth Research Department would be able toplete mass-producing them all.


    Thinking of this, Wu Mo swiftly calmed his mind as his eyes were in a daze. When he regained consciousness, he was still sitting in the Level 2boratory not far from the workshop.


    At this moment, afew assistant researchers were standing outside theboratory, anxiously looking at the tightly shut door.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Old Wen and Assistant Cheng frowned slightly as they were also worried.


    "It''s been more than 40 minutes, but there hasn''t been any movement inside. I haven''t seen Wu Moing out to get materials either."


    "It''s impossible to picture it in such a short time. I wonder if Mr. Wu will be able to bring us new surprises like before."


    "Sigh, let''s see. If it really doesn''t work, we can slow production down. At least we can continue to mass produce and not stop the machines!"


    Several technical support staff kept discussing. Although they did not speak out loud, they did not really believe that Wu Mo could forge a new version of the connecting device in such a short time.


    Just as they were discussing and nning to ask old Wen to restart the production line, theboratory door, which had been still for a long time, opened abruptly.


    Seeing this, old Wen immediately stood up and looked into theboratory.


    Right then, the tall Wu Mo was standing at the door with a gentle smile on his face. Although he looked a little tired, his self-confidence made old Wenpletely relieved.


    Assistant Cheng, who was standing next to old Wen, was surprised to see the Invisibility Armor in Wu Mo''s hands.


    He did not expect Wu Mo toe up with an improved version of the Invisibility Armor so quickly.


    A few auxiliary researchers not far away widened their eyes.


    They could not believe that Wu Mo was so skilled!


    "Wu Mo, you''ve worked hard. How did the improvement of the Invisibility Armor go?" Old Wen could not wait any longer and immediately asked.


    He knew that it was most likely done, but Wu Mo had personally not said anything.


    "Thank you for your concern, old Wen. I''m d that I didn''t fail you. Now that the improvement work has beenpleted, the mass production n can continue."


    Wu Mo wiped the sweat from his forehead and felt a sense of aplishment.


    Old Wen immediately broke into a smile while Assistant Cheng''s expression turned solemn.


    To be able to improve a piece of equipment within an hour, Wu Mo''s skills were probablyparable to that of most six-star cksmiths.


    A few of the support staff immediately took over the improved Invisibility Armor and proceeded to check the data to continue production.


    They were careful, and their attitude toward Wu Mo became more respectful.


    Wu Mo, old Wen, and the others immediately followed. They wanted to see how much the Invisibility Armor had improved.


    By the time they arrived at the workshop, several technical assistance personnel had already adjusted the data of the equipment on the production line. In a short while, the casting equipment that stored various materials was activated, and mass production resumed.


    To old Wen and the other technical support staff''s surprise, the new version of the Invisibility Armor worked more than three times faster than before.


    This was because the connecting device was the mostplicatedponent in the entire Invisibility Armor. Now that the device had been improved to the integrated version, its overall speed had also doubled.


    Seeing the endless production of Invisibility Armor, old Wen breathed an internal sigh of relief.


    He had been worried that there would be problems in the workshop and that they would not be able to produce enough Invisibility Armor before the delivery day. He felt even more worried when he found out that there were quality problems with the armor.

 Chapter 293 Rampaging Beasts Attacking The City

    Although he was the chief designer and his forging ability was somewhere in the middle of six stars, he had no idea how to deal with theplicated connecting device on the armor.


    Therefore, he could only ask Cheng Wen to get Wu Mo to handle it. He only hoped that he couldplete the task before the delivery day and not let down the military leaders who had trusted and helped them.


    However, he did not expect Wu Mo''s improved Invisibility Armor to not only perfectly solve the problem of poor performance caused by the fast production line but also elerate the production speed by nearly two times. As such, it would be absolutely no problem to finish all the orders before the delivery day!


    After solving the problem, old Wen watched as the master in the workshop got busy again. He immediately expressed his gratitude, "Wu Mo, I really have to thank you this time. You''ve been very busytely, but I still have to trouble you when there''s a problem at the workshop.


    "What are you saying, Old Wen? I''m the one who created the Invisibility Armor. I can''t just sit by and do nothing if there''s a problem. Besides, there''s indeed something wrong with the armor''s connecting device, which is why production was dyed. You don''t have to me yourself." Wu Mo cupped his hands together and said with a serious expression.


    "Wu Mo, you solved the problem really quickly. It looks like you''re not far from breaking through to the six-star rank."


    Assistant Cheng stepped forward. He seemed to sense the spiritual fluctuations around Wu Mo and immediately stated his observation in surprise.


    "Brother Cheng, you must be joking. I only reached the five-star rank less than half a year ago. There''s still a long way for me to go. Speaking of which, I''m still a neer in the Fifth Research Department. You don''t have to be so polite, Brother Cheng.


    "By the way, I may still need help over at theboratory. If there''s nothing else, I''ll take my leave," Wu Mo said in embarrassment.


    In fact, he had not spent much time on forging recently. Instead, he had spent the most time looking at documents and making models. Unknowingly, he had gained a lot of knowledge.


    He did not know if his skills had increased, but he felt that forging equipment had be morefortable.


    "Alright, I''ll get Cheng Wen to send you back."


    Old Wen knew that Wu Mo still had to study equipment toplete his third technological breakthrough. Moreover, he had attended the exhibition a few days ago and needed to attend the award ceremonyter.


    For the past half a month, Wu Mo had been so busy that he had not gone home much, so old Wen could understand Wu Mo''s urgency.


    Soon, Wu Mo and Assistant Cheng departed from the Invisibility Armor''s production workshop, leaving only old Wen and a few technical assistants to keep watch.


    ...


    On the road outside, Wu Mo sat in a military vehicle with his head lowered and began to think about how he should n the casting of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    Cheng Wen was driving the military vehicle. Through the rearview mirror, he noticed that Wu Mo was immersed in his thoughts, so he did not disturb him.


    However, he looked at Wu Mo with admiration.


    The twenties was the best age for a man.


    Very few people of the same age worked. Most of them ate, drank, and had fun every day. Their day would pass in the blink of an eye.


    Young people nowadays often could not settle down to pursue academia. The materialistic world and various activities for entertainment had upied their hearts long ago.


    Young people like Wu Mo, who had a calm heart and academic spirit, were rare in Jingdu and even in the Nine Provinces.


    This was because everyone was willing to devote their best years to academia and their country.


    Soon, the military vehicle reached the Fifth Research Department. Wu Mo got out of the vehicle and said goodbye to Cheng Wen before returning to the research building.


    He sat in the quietboratory and continued to devote himself to the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s forging n.


    Sometimes, he would enter the forging space and study the documents he had exchanged from the system.


    At times, he would return to his experiments and continue conceiving the forging n.


    While Wu Mo was extremely busy...<novelnext></novelnext>


    Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf were also carrying out their secret n elsewhere.


    At Lushui County, a border city only 300 kilometers away from the capital of White River...


    Everything was in a state of chaos due to the beast attack.


    It had only been a week since the Rank 6 Gray Howler destroyed the city wall.


    Back when the Rank 6 beast was wreaking havoc, it was Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf who had arrived and saved the civilians on that road.


    However, because of Lone Wolf''s leg injury, he and Bald Eagle only managed to drive the Gray Howler away and not kill it on the spot.


    Later on, the Gray Howler seemed to escape deep into the mountains and old forests at the edge of Lushui County. Thousands of city guards searched along the way, but they could not find it.


    After that, they could only put the incident on hold. The City Defense Army only repaired the city wall and sent more people to patrol the area.


    There were no further incidents or eye-witnesses. The Gray Howler, who was three meters tall, had seemingly evaporated from Lushui County, and the people gradually forgot about it.


    A weekter, the military''s detection device pinpointed somewhat chaotic spatial fluctuations in a certain area on the outskirts of Lushui County.


    It was clearly a sign that a spatial crack was forming. To protect the people of Lushui County, the military arranged for Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf to lead a dozen special force cultivators to Lushui County and be stationed there a day in advance.


    The following results were as predicted by the detection device. At 10.00 am the next day, a small spatial rift appeared in a wastnd three kilometers away from Lushui County.


    Thousands of ferocious beasts rushed out of the hole and headed straight for the nearest administrative district, which was Lushui County.


    Fortunately, Bald Eagle had already reminded the City Defense Army to be prepared and be on high alert.


    After detecting the arrival of the beasts, everyone immediately set up a line of defense outside the city gate as they nned to kill all the beasts before they could enter the city.


    It was 10.20 am.


    Numerous city defense troops were hiding in the fortifications that had been set up.


    The fortifications set up included wooden stakes, barbed wire, sandbags, trenches, and so on.


    The purpose of the fortifications was only to slow down the speed of the beasts'' attack. It was to prevent the beasts from directly destroying the city wall and having nothing to slow them down.


    A hundred meters behind them was a three-meter-tall gray wall made of hard concrete.


    "Captain, the rampaging beasts are already 500 meters away. What time do we need to make our move?" Within the fortifications, a captain of Lushui County''s City Defense Army immediately turned his head and asked nervously after sensing that the ground''s shaking seemed to be getting stronger.


    Bald Eagle squinted and looked into the distance. After a moment, he softly said, "Once they''re about 100 meters away, we''ll attack together. Remember to choose an enemy that suits you and try not to get injured!"


    He touched the Spirit Wave Sword at his waist, his voice cold and murderous.


    At the side, Lone Wolf had already put on his Invisibility Armor, and he was ready to kill the powerful creatures in the beast tide at any time.


    Right then, the shaking of the ground was bing more and more obvious. Hiding behind the fortifications, the City Defense Army''s troops were also a little nervous.


    The troops usually had to deal with cultivators who did not follow the rules or rebel groups.


    They did not have much experience in dealing with fierce beasts. Compared to the veterans in the Hunter Bureau who had licked the blood off the tip of their knives, they seemed a little flustered.

 Chapter 294 The Approaching Beast Tide

    Lushui County was only an ordinary administrative area. Even though it was located at the border of the White River province, it had never experienced a beast tide in its decades of history.


    As such, there was no local organization like the capital''s Hunter Bureau in Lushui County.


    Therefore, when the beast tide suddenly appeared, even though the military had predicted it a day in advance, they could only dispatch a few dozen experts from the Hunter Bureau to help.


    The veterans from the beast-hunting bureau were all above the middle stage of the five-star rank, and they had rich experience in fighting fierce beasts.


    Therefore, they remained very calm in the face of the iing beast tide.


    They could vaguely see a touch of red in the distance, and a familiar stench also drifted over with thete autumn breeze and entered everyone''s noses.


    The dust and sand on the ground kept shaking, and the leaves of the surrounding trees rustled because of the shaking. The battle with the beasts was reaching its peak.


    "Do it!"


    Bald Eagle noticed that the monster horde was approaching, and he immediately took the Spirit Wave Sword from his waist. He gently pressed the button on the hilt of the sword, and a dazzling white pulse beam instantly appeared. It made him look like a war god as he stood on the fortifications.


    Many of the City Defense Army members at the back were dumbstruck as though they had been too sheltered. If it were not for the fact that the beasts were already within 100 meters, the team leaders would have asked what this god-like weapon was!


    Even the Hunter Bureau''s veterans had a change of expression. But they were only stunned for a moment before they rushed out of the building and followed Bald Eagle in the beast tide''s direction.


    At this time, the other City Defense Army members also moved out.


    The City Defense Army in Lushui County, which was of decent strength, had alreadye out in full force. There were about 500 troops. In addition to the 20 intermediate five-star cultivators who had been dispatched from the capital''s Hunter Bureau, they formed a powerful team under Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf''s lead.


    They charged toward the beast tide without hesitation.


    In the wastnd withplex terrain, the two forces were engaged in closebat, and the shaking of the ground became increasingly intense.


    When the ferocious beasts saw creatures with delicious flesh and blood, their ferocity was triggered, and their speed increased by 30%.


    "Die!"


    The spirit energy in Bald Eagle''s body was turbulent. His body shot out like an arrow from a bow, and he rushed into the beast tide.


    Meanwhile, theser from the Spirit Wave Sword in his hand extended to three feet long. With a wave, he directly cut three fierce beasts in front of him in half.


    The beasts were either crawling or running, and their attacks, as well as moving forms, were all different. However, most of them were beasts that those from the Hunter Bureau were familiar with.


    Among them, there was the Green Leopard that was famous for its speed and sharp ws. Its strength was at the middle of Rank 4.


    There were also strange beasts that specialized in long-range attacks, and most of them were Rank 5 Silver Cats.


    There were also jackals that were hiding underground and would rush out at the first opportunity to attack.


    Most of the bloodthirsty beasts were at the middle stage of Rank 4, and only a few of them were of Rank 5.


    However, the veterans from the Hunter Bureau quickly noticed that there were many huge creatures in the beast tide, as well as a few fierce behemoths that had reached Rank 6!


    The rampaging beasts were like a turbulent mudslide, covering the sky and earth. The City Defense Army seemed a lot smaller before the tide.


    If not for Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf, the city guards would not have the courage to face these monsters.


    However, even with the boost of courage, many people still got injured in the instant of closebat with the beasts.


    The equipment that the city guards were wearing could notpare to the armor that the cultivators on the battlefields wore.


    They could not stop the monsters'' sharp ws and teeth.<novelnext></novelnext>


    At the moment of confrontation, the fierce beasts pounced on some people. Blood sttered everywhere, and the air was filled with a murderous aura.


    Bald Eagle was deep in the beast tide. Relying on the Spirit Wave Sword''s powerful force, he was like a Grim Reaper. If the beasts were a little slower, they would not be able to escape the fate of being beheaded by Bald Eagle and the Lone Wolf.


    Despite their Rank 5 strength, they could only avoid the attacks.


    The veterans from the Hunter Bureau were also showing off their abilities.


    They were very familiar with most beast attack patterns and weaknesses. Two people were often enough to take down a Rank 5 beast, and they were efficient and uninjured the entire time.


    Even so, the casualty rate was gradually showing.


    After all, it was impossible for Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf to take care of the entire battle situation. Hence, members of their team kept dying by the ws of the beasts.


    "Use the terrain of the fortifications to your advantage. Don''t fight recklessly!"


    Bald Eagle frowned slightly. He flicked his wrist and used the Spirit Wave Sword to force back the Rank 5 beasts that were ring at him. At the same time, he took the time to speak to the City Defense Army members behind him.


    A few meters in front of him, there were three giant apes covered in silver scales.


    The apes were covered in muscles, and their heads were covered in ck fur. They had bloody mouths full of torn flesh, and their arms were unusually well-developed. Their ws were several inches long and reflected a blood-red light.


    These d*mned beasts were called Scaled Apes.


    Their strength was at the middle stage of Rank 5. They were extremely aggressive and agile.


    If in a one-on-one battle, their strength would not be inferior to that of a peak five-star cultivator.


    Moreover, these ferocious beasts moved in groups. If they were surrounded by them, these beasts could even cross realms and kill their enemies.


    Onrge battlefields, countless cultivators had died at the hands of these beasts. They were one of the most difficult to deal with other than Rank 6 beasts.


    It was precisely because of these three Scaled Apes that Bald Eagle''s chances of killing the beasts had been greatly reduced.


    Not only did he have to deal with the other attacking beasts, but he also had to keep an eye on these Scaled Apes.


    If he was not careful, even if he did not fail miserably, it would be extremely disadvantageous to him.


    Bald Eagle was now being held back by the three Scaled Apes, who were deliberately keeping a distance of three meters from him.


    If Bald Eagle were to clear the Scaled Apes, those guys would immediately scatter like birds and beasts. Even if it was him, it would take some effort to chase after them.


    And now that he was in the middle of the beast tide, he had to deal with any possible danger at all times. Naturally, it was impossible for him to clear out these Scaled Apes.


    On the other side, Lone Wolf was also exhausted from dealing with Illusionary me Moths that were not afraid of death.


    The red moths were the size of a human face, and their bodies contained a lot of venom that would explode upon contact with air.


    These moths had no defensive power and could be easily killed by a walking stick.


    However, if the fragile body of an Illusionary me Moth was destroyed, the degration liquid in its body would instantly react, and it would the same destructive force as a small gas can.


    The resulting explosion and high temperature would be fatal to anyone within 10 meters.


    Lone Wolf wanted to clear out a portion of the beasts first, then activate the Invisibility Armor and shuttle through the beast tide to kill those novice Rank 6 beasts.

 Chapter 295 Chain Reaction

    However, before he could kill many fierce beasts, the strong smell of blood attracted the fragile Illusionary me Moths.


    Unfortunately, the lightsaber''s attack range was only two meters, and it was impossible to clear the Illusionary me Moths from 10 meters away.


    So, to avoid wearing out the Invisibility Armor, he had to retreat first.


    Unfortunately, his right leg was injured. To escape the Illusionary me Moths'' attack for the time being, he could only use up his spirit energy to sh out of the beast tide.


    When he broke out of the beast tide, he immediately saw Bald Eagle in an awkward situation.


    ''We can''t move freely in the beast tide with our abilities. We might as well move together.''


    Lone Wolf thought of a new method and immediately rushed toward Bald Eagle''s position without hesitation.


    Bang!


    A loud sound was heard, and Lone Wolf''s body fell into the beast tide like a cannonball.


    The intense spirit energy fluctuation instantly sent the surrounding ferocious beasts flying. Even the Scaled Apes nearby subconsciously took a few steps back.


    "Go and deal with those Illusionary me Moths first. Leave this to me."


    After saying this, Lone Wolf turned around and charged toward the three Scaled Apes.


    Hearing this, Bald Eagle immediately activated his spirit energy. Then, with a sh of white light, a majestic Magic Crystal Cannon appeared in his hand.


    The modified and lightweight Magic Crystal Cannon was also a product developed by the Fifth Research Department.


    Now, not only was it the size of a rifle, but its ability to fly continuously had also greatly improved.


    At this moment, the Illusionary me Moths that reacted immediately flew in Lone Wolf''s direction.


    Seeing this, a disdainful smile appeared on Bald Eagle''s face. He immediately aimed at the Illusionary me Moth''s flight path and pulled the trigger without hesitation.


    The gun''s ck muzzle instantly charged up, and a light blue beam burst out.


    The next moment, the light beam hit one of the Illusionary me Moths, and the Magic Crystal Cannon made of energy immediately exploded with great power.


    The densely packed beast tide was like an anti-tank mine buried underground. The instant explosion destroyed the surrounding ferocious beasts. The moment their flesh and blood flew all over, the area around the explosion immediately cleared, leaving a vacuum zone that was several meters wide.


    The indiscriminate attack, which nearly covered a five-meter radius, turned all eight Illusionary me Moths into powder.


    When the degration liquid inside the Illusionary me Moths came into contact with the air, it immediately burned violently.


    The huge fireball caused by the chain reaction enveloped a small area of the beast tide. Countless ferocious beasts were burned to ashes by the mes that were over 1,000 degrees Celsius, and they kept wailing and screaming.


    Only a few Rank 5 beasts were quick enough to escape, though a few unlucky ones were severely burned.


    Like a powerful st, the fire damage indirectly killed over 100 rampaging beasts.


    This greatly reduced the pressure on the City Defense Army at the back.


    Bald Eagle was overjoyed to see such excellent results.


    If this was replicated a few more times, would these thousands of fierce beasts not dwindle until there were none to burn?


    Thinking of this, Bald Eagle quickly looked around, trying to find more Illusionary me Moths.


    However, many of the fierce beasts had fled in all directions under the fire, and there were no longer any traces of the Illusionary me Moths in the surroundings.


    However, this was expected. Special beasts like the Illusionary me Moths were rare. They were not amon sight even on arge battlefield.


    Just as Bald Eagle was feeling a little regretful, a shrill cry suddenly rang out.


    Shocked, he quickly looked in Lone Wolf''s direction.


    After seeing that one of the Scaled Apes had been cut in half by the lightsaber, he heaved a sigh of relief.<novelnext></novelnext>


    It was obvious that the battle on Lone Wolf''s side hade to an end.


    Under his relentless pursuit, the three Scaled Apes werepletely helpless. Not to mention, Lone Wolf was constantly circting his spirit energy in the beast tide.


    He had easily caught up to them, and in just a minute, he had crippled one of them.


    Due to the sudden appearance of the Magic Crystal Cannons and the terrifying mes, many of the beasts in the beast tide became timid.


    This also made the veterans from the Hunter Bureau more willing to do what they wanted.


    Working together, the three parties could take care of a Rank 5 beast in half a minute.


    The rest of the City Defense Army''s members had also learned somebat experience from the short contact, and the situation was gradually improving.


    Seeing that all the beasts had been stopped outside the city wall, Bald Eagle immediately heaved a sigh of relief. He turned around and cooperated with Lone Wolf, directly killing the other two Scaled Apes.


    After dealing with the annoying Scaled Apes, Lone Wolf quickly had a new target.


    Dozens of Rank 5 beasts and two Rank 6 beasts had appeared in the beast tide this time.


    They were the Silver Soul-chasing Wolves, which were early Rank 6 beasts, and the Wind-Summoning Beast, which was in the middle of Rank 6.


    The Silver Soul-chasing Wolves were the size of wild bulls. They were covered in long silver fur, and their mouths were filled with canine teeth that were more than 10 centimeters long. Their two blood-red eyes were filled with violence and bloodlust.


    Just looking at one was enough to make a person''s hair stand on end, let alone fight it.


    These beasts usually just appeared on small or big battlefields.


    The fact that a Rank 6 monster had appeared in the space-time rift around Lushui County was enough to prove that something was wrong!


    As for the Wind-summoning Beasts, they were more like monsters that only appeared in movies.


    They were only the size of a cow''s calf, and they had colorful fur.


    Their bodies were surrounded by a translucent smoke, and they resembled lynxes on the Blue.


    However, the Wind-summoning Beasts were more bloodthirsty and cruel. Their tails were like long ribbons that swayed behind their bodies.


    The Wind-summoning Beasts had two ways of attacking.


    Melee fighters utilized cat-like w attacks, pouncing bites, and tearing.


    The long-range attackers could easily summon wind des and pierce through equipment that contained spirit energy.


    If it were not for the seven or eight veterans from the beast-hunting bureau trying their best to hold them back, the Wind-summoning Beasts would have easily topple Lushui County''s city walls.


    However, this was not a long-term solution. Those veterans only had the strength of six stars . Even if they cooperated well with each other, it would be difficult to block the attacks of the Wind-summoning Beasts and the Silver Soul-chasing Wolves.


    Therefore, seeing that the pressure on the city guards had been greatly reduced, Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf immediately redirected their spirit energy and moved closer to the two Rank 6 beasts .


    The Silver Soul-chasing Wolves were extremely fast, and their three white afterimages condensed from spirit energy forced several veterans of the Hunter Bureau into a dangerous situation.


    Just as the few of them nned to risk their lives to keep the Silver Soul-chasing Silver Wolves there, Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf arrived.


    The ce was already 100 meters away from the main battlefield. A couple of cultivators from the Hunter Bureau had deliberately sealed it off.


    This was to prevent further damage to the City Defense Army.


    However, they were still not strong enough. Even if the six of them were to deal with the Silver Soul-chasing Wolves, they still could not kill them.


    "You guys, go and help the others. Leave this to the two of us."


    Bald Eagle appeared in front of them with the Magic Crystal Cannon, while Lone Wolf had already activated his armor''s stealth effect on the way there to catch the Silver Soul-chasing Wolves by surprise.


    The situation was changing, and the earlier they could get rid of these beasts, the more uncertain factors they would remove. At that time, they would be able to spare some energy to deal with the Wind-summoning Beasts.

 Chapter 296 With A Sword Strike, Even Ashes Are Scattered

    After all, the Wind-summoning Beast had the strength of an intermediate Rank 6, which was equivalent to the peak of a six-star human.


    With just those five-star cultivators, the people from the beast-hunting bureau would not be able to dy the Wind-summoning Beasts for long.


    "Alright, then be careful, Captain."


    The six cultivators that had already started to show signs of spirit power exhaustion immediately responded. They had rich battle experience and knew that they could not deal with a vicious beast of this level.


    Even if they stayed, they would just be a hindrance.


    Seeing that the six experts from the Hunter Bureau had already retreated to the other side of the battlefield...


    Bald Eagle immediately focused on the battle.


    He held the Magic Crystal Cannon in his left hand and ced his index finger on the trigger.


    His right hand was dragging a long ck gun barrel, and he aimed the muzzle at the Silver Soul-chasing Wolf not far away.


    The Magic Crystal Cannon was the Fifth Research Department''s ingenious work. It had been polished for nearly a year, and its effects were extremely powerful. The energy bullets fired contained pration, tearing, and explosion. As long as they were urate, they could kill beasts below Rank 7 with one shot.


    The Magic Crystal Cannon was 1,440 millimeters long, and the body of the gun was made up of more than 10 parts. It could be said to be extremely precise.


    There was a five-second gap between the two shots to prevent the barrel from overheating. Thus, he would not fire unless he hadpletely caught one.


    Looking at the Silver Soul-chasing Wolf in front of him, which was eyeing him covetously and constantly drooling with sticky light green saliva, Bald Eagle was unusually calm at this moment. He was waiting.


    He was waiting for Lone Wolf to make the first move.


    Thetter was wearing an Invisibility Armor that could block infrared detection. Unless it was affected by strong light or wind, he would not be discovered.


    It had been more than 10 seconds since he arrived on the battlefield, which was enough for Lone Wolf to find a good position tounch a sneak attack.


    The Silver Soul-chasing Wolf in front of them were huge and powerful. Without the help of the Spirit Wave Sword and the Invisibility Armor, it would take them a long time to finish it off.


    Thinking of this, Bald Eagle felt even more grateful to Wu Mo. If even he was so interested in these two pieces of equipment, the soldiers at the front line obviously needed them more.


    His eyes flickered as he raised his gun slightly.


    At this moment, the Silver Soul-chasing Wolf could no longer hold back its desire to hunt. It swayed in ce for a moment as if it was estimating the difference in strength between the two.


    Although the Silver Soul-chasing Wolf did not have the intelligence of a human, its long fighting experience still made it aware that the human with a weapon was not easy to deal with.


    However, a beast was still a beast. No matter how cunning it was, it could not think like humans.


    In just a moment, the Silver Soul-chasing Wolf revealed its sharp ws and fangs. It lowered its body slightly as it nned an instant attack.


    At that moment, Lone Wolf, who was hiding in the dark, found a suitable position.


    Before the Silver Soul-chasing Wolf could take the initiative to attack, Lone Wolf who was hiding behind it had alreadyunched an attack.


    He pulled out the Spirit Wave Sword that was hidden in his armor. Then, without waiting for the Silver Soul-chasing Wolf to react, he immediately pressed the highest heat wave button.


    Aser beam of over 10,000 degrees Celsius shot out from one end of the Spirit Wave Sword in an instant. The terrifyingly high temperature and the ring heat wave pierced into the Silver Soul-chasing Wolf''s body.


    The one-meter-long heat waveser directly prated it.


    The high temperature immediately carbonized the silver wolf''s back, and its handsome silver fur was also charred ck.


    The excruciating pain in its spine almost made the Silver Soul-chasing Wolf faint.


    Its beastly eyes turned red in an instant, and there was a terrifying light within.


    The silver wolf subconsciously mobilized the spirit energy in its body to form a spirit energy shield.


    However, before the heat waveser, the spirit energy shield was like paper, and it was instantly prated.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Lone Wolf swung his arm, and the red beam of light swept across the silver wolf''s legs and abdomen.


    Before the power of the Spirit Wave Sword, the Silver Soul-chasing Wolf was killed before it could even counterattack.


    Even though the vicious beast''s body was strong and beyond the scope of science, its muscle density and bone hardness had reached more than five times that of cultivators of the same level.


    However, as long as it was a carbon-based creature, no one could withstand the high temperature of 10,000 degrees ofser.


    What''s more, Lone Wolf''s second swing directly prated the abdomen of the Silver Soul-chasing Wolf, directly skipping all the steps and achieving the purpose of crushing its bones and scattering its ashes.


    Looking at the charred and faintly visible corpse in front of him, Bald Eagle his mouth slightly not far away. His expression also carried a hint of surprise.


    The Spirit Wave Sword''s effect on the enemy was much stronger than they had imagined.


    One strike, and its ashes were scattered.


    Seeing that his target was dead, Bald Eagle immediately rushed over. Looking at the shapeless remains on the ground, he shook his head slightly and said with some regret.


    "This Spirit Wave Sword is good in every way, but it''s too powerful. It can''t even leave a corpse behind. The fur of a Rank 6 Silver Soul-chasing Wolf is very valuable. Its ws and teeth are also good things for forging high-quality weapons."


    After hearing that, Lone Wolf scratched his head in embarrassment. "Cough cough... I was a little nervous, so I switched on the wrong mode."


    As he touched the slightly hot hilt, Lone Wolf''s heart also bled.


    With one strike, he had lost at least tens of millions.


    "Alright, let''s hurry up and deal with the Wind-summoning Beasts. The longer we dy, the more disadvantageous it will be for us." Bald Eagle shook his head helplessly and urged.


    The Wind-summoning Beasts were too strong, skilled in both close and long rangebat. He was worried that the cultivators from the beast-hunting bureau would have problems.


    Lone Wolf knew what was more important. He quickly activated the Invisibility Armor again and rushed in another direction with Bald Eagle.


    Killing the Silver Soul-chasing Wolf earlier could only be considered a small demonstration of his skills.


    This allowed Lone Wolf and Bald Eagle to witness the joint effect of the Invisibility Armor and the Spirit Wave Sword.


    However, the Wind-summoning Beasts were stronger, and it was still unknown if they could achieve the same effect.


    After all, there was a huge gap between the strength of fierce beasts at each realm.


    Intermediate Rank 6 beasts were already rtively rare on ordinary battlefields.


    Even on the fourrge-scale battlefields in thend of the Nine Provinces, the beast tide that came out of the space-time crack mainly consisted of Rank 5 beasts.


    Rank 6 beasts could only be seen everywhere on extremely huge battlefield.


    This was also because of the special nature of the beasts. Usually, it took three cultivators of the same rank to kill a beast.


    This was equivalent to a middle-stage Rank 6 Wind-summoning Beast fighting against a peak cultivator without any pressure.


    If it were not for the Spirit Wave Sword and the Invisibility Armor, they would have been injured if they tried to kill the Wind-summoning Beasts.


    Since Lone Wolf''s leg was seriously injured, Bald Eagle did not want anything to happen to him.


    Therefore, in order to deal with the Wind-summoning Beasts, he had to maximize the effects of the two pieces of equipment and try to deal with them without getting hurt.


    The two of them were extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at the battlefield where the Wind-summoning Beasts were.


    At this moment, the Wind-summoning Beasts were approaching the concrete wall of Lushui County.


    No matter how hard the people from the Hunter Bureau tried to stop them, it was to no avail.

 Chapter 297 Dealing With The Wind-Summoning Beast

    A casual attack from a Wind-summoning Beast could create a hurricane in its surroundings, and its wind des that were everywhere destroyed the surrounding fortifications into a mess.


    Fortunately, on the main battlefield, the City Defense Army''s main forces had already gained the upper hand, and the number of beasts was decreasing at a constant rate.


    The most important task now was to stop the Wind-summoning Beasts from continuing their attack and to prevent the innocent people of Lushui County from being harmed.


    Seeing that the situation was dangerous, the two of them immediately increased their speed. Bald Eagle''s figure shed and appeared directly in front of the Wind-summoning Beasts.


    There was a high wall not far behind him, which meant that Bald Eagle had nowhere to retreat.


    At this moment, the ground was in a mess. There were ravines everywhere that were cut by wind des. The wind element around the Wind-summoning Beasts was visible to the naked eye, and it could turn into a sky full of wind des at any time.


    "Captain, we''ve tried to stop this beast, but the wind pressure around the Wind-summoning Beast is too strong. We can''t get close."


    Someone whom Bald Eagle was rtively close to them rushed over and reported after blocking the attack.


    Bald Eagle nodded. He looked at the Wind-summoning Beast that was lying on the ground not far away, and his eyes were filled with killing intent.


    "Take your brothers and retreat first. Go and deal with the other beasts. Leave this ce to me and Lone Wolf."


    "Alright... In that case, Lord Eagle, you should be careful. This beast''s long-range attacks are very powerful."


    The middle-aged man clutched his bleeding left arm, his face pale.


    After hearing the captain''s instructions, he was a little confused.


    Once he remembered that Lord Lone Wolf had put on the Invisibility Armor, he immediately turned around to leave with the rest of the people from the Hunter Bureau.


    A short whileter, more than a dozen teams from the Hunter Bureau with varying degrees of injuries had evacuated.


    Not far away, a Wind-summoning Beast was lying on the ground. It had seemingly noticed something, but it did not chase after the injured people. Instead, it looked around as if it was searching for something.


    "Oh no, the wind pressure around the Wind-summoner Beast is too strong. I can''t adjust the Invisibility Armor. I''m afraid we can''t sneak attack it," Bald Eagle muttered to himself as he watched the leaves and sand being blown up.


    At this moment, there was a slight fluctuation in the space beside him. The next moment, Lone Wolf appeared in front of him.


    "We can''tunch a sneak attack. Let''s change our strategy."


    Looking at the Dark Light Wings on the surface of the Invisibility Armor, which had been loosened by the strong wind, Lone Wolf''s heart ached.


    "Then, let''s fight it face to face. Put away your Invisibility Armor first."


    Bald Eagle raised the Magic Crystal Cannon. After giving the order, he immediately raised the muzzle and pulled the trigger in the Wind-summoning Beast''s direction without saying a word.


    Boff!


    A series of muffled gunshots were heard.


    The next second, the energy bomb with an orange glow hit the Wind-summoning Beast.


    The violent explosion resounded through the surrounding wastnd. The explosion immediately swept through the domain within ten meters. The damage caused even created a pit that was several meters wide and tens of centimeters deep where the Wind-summoning Beast was.


    However, the two of them did not think that this Magic Crystal Cannon would have much of an effect.


    The abilities of the creature close to them wereparable to that of peak six-star cultivators.


    Not only was its body filled with spirit energy, but its bones and muscles were also extremely hard.


    The Wind-summoning Beasts would definitely be prepared for a head-on attack.


    Soon, the smoke and dust dispersed.


    Lone Wolf narrowed his eyes. When he saw the situation in the smoke clearly, his brows furrowed even deeper.


    Magic Crystal Cannons were like the "pyramids" of long-range weapons.


    Even if it could not bepared to some Divine-grade equipment, it could easily be as powerful as a peak six-star cultivator''s attack.<novelnext></novelnext>


    But Bald Eagle''s magic cannon shot...


    Well, the Wind-summoning Beast did not receive any damage.


    At this moment, the Wind-summoning Beast was crouching in its original position. Its fur was still clean, and its eyes even had a hint of human-like arrogance.


    A light green energy shield was covering its body, like an upside-down bowl.


    After being hit by the energy cannon, the Wind-summoning Beast''s energy shield only rippled slightly, but it did not copse.


    Even peak six-star cultivators would find it difficult to match up to such defensive ability.


    "This beast''s defense is insanely high. Looks like I can only fight it head on now," Lone Wolf said in a low voice as he put away the Invisibility Armor coldly.


    Bald Eagle nodded. The spirit energy in his body surged, and his peak six-star aura burst out instantly.


    "Let''s attack together! I don''t believe that this thing can block the Spirit Wave Sword''s attack!"


    Lone Wolf was the first to speak. Then, his figure shed, and he appeared more than 10 meters away in the blink of an eye.


    Bald Eagle followed closely behind, and the two figures shot toward the Wind-summoning Beast like golden shuttles.


    Seeing that the other party had taken the initiative to attack, the Wind-summoning Beast immediately stood up to fight. Its tail, which was as thick as a bowl''s mouth and as long as a whip, suddenly swung toward the two people in the air, bringing with it gusts of strong wind.


    "Scatter!"


    Bald Eagle yelled. He and Lone Wolf immediately split up and continued to approach the Wind-summoning Beast with their swords.


    In the face of the strong wind, Bald Eagle activated his energy shield first and dodged the Wind-summoning Beast''s iron, whip-like tail.


    He could have activated the Spirit Wave Sword to cut the tail when it wasing, but that would undoubtedly expose his strength in advance, allowing the Wind-summoning Beast to escape.


    Therefore, the two of them hade up with a countermeasure on the way. If they had to attack, they would use the Spirit Wave Sword to seriously injure him. If they let it escape, the consequences would be unimaginable.


    Bang!


    The Wind-summoning Beast''s whip tail had missed, but seeing the two of them closing in on it, the beast no longer held back and immediately roared.


    Its deafening cry turned into a visible shock wave, causing Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf to slow down.


    Then, the Wind-summoning Beast used its signature attack, and hundreds of wind des that were about three meters long suddenly condensed around it.


    Then, under the Wind-summoning Beast''s control, they split into two groups and shot toward Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf.


    Due to the strong wind pressure around the Wind-summoning Beast and the obstruction of the wind des, the Wind-summoning''s Beast''s body was covered in blood.


    It was very difficult for the two of them to get close to the Wind-summoning Beast. When they were within the attack range, they could only use their spirit energy to form a shield and dodge the wind des.


    When they encountered a dense and unavoidable area, they would use their shields to resist.


    After a few rounds, the two of them had used up a lot of their spirit energy, but they still could not cause any effective damage to the Wind-summoning Beast.


    "Fire the Magic Crystal Cannon a few more times. I don''t believe this beast''s shield is this thick!"


    Lone Wolf staggered, and he was forced to take a few steps back by the wind de. He was furious, and he immediately shouted at Bald Eagle.


    Without any hesitation, thetter raised the gun and pulled the trigger in the direction of the Wind-summoning Beast.


    Following a dull sound, the orange energy cannon instantly covered a distance of dozens of meters and exploded around the Wind-summoning Beast.


    The intense wind pressure was instantly dispersed by the power of the cannon, and the spirit energy shield on the surface of the Wind-summoning Beast also rippled as if it was somewhat unstable.


    "Let''s attack together!"


    Seeing that the energy cannon had achieved extraordinary results, Lone Wolf did not hesitate and immediately dodged the wind des to approach the beast.

 Chapter 298 The Reappearance Of The Gray Howler!

    Bald Eagle took out his Spirit Wave Sword and flew over as well.


    Roar!


    The Wind-summoning Beast was caught off guard. Seeing that its prey actually dared to retaliate, it immediately roared and pounced on the person who had attacked it.


    Bald Eagle instantly felt a strong wind pressure around him. Light green wind des covered the sky, as well as the earth, and even he felt his scalp go numb.


    The Wind-summoning Beast was extremely fast, and its ws, which were the size of a basin, were as sharp as a red de. It was like a mountain pressing down on them.


    The beast was extremely powerful in terms of closebat. Even if it did not have the power of the Spirit Wave Sword, Bald Eagle would have to avoid it.


    However, now that the Wind-summoning Beast had actually taken the initiative to attack, Bald Eagle was secretly delighted.


    He used spirit energy to activate the storage bag, and the Magic Crystal Cannons, which were not suitable for closebat, were quickly stored inside.


    Then, he held the Spirit Wave Sword in his right hand and swung it at the Wind-summoning Beast''s sharp ws.


    Under the dusky sky, a blinding light suddenly appeared on the originally dim wastnd. Bald Eagle held the Spirit Wave Sword and activated the heat wave mode.


    The redser beam instantly broke through the spirt energy shield that could withstand the energy cannon, and it cut off three of the Wind-summoning Beast''s ws. The terrifying high temperature also instantly burned its front ws!


    The intense pain and the fear of death made the Wind-summoning Beast lose all of its will to fight. It desperately urged its spirit energy to control the wind, blowing the terrifying human in front of it away.


    Before it could turn around and escape, it suddenly saw a red light out of the corner of its eye!


    "Go to hell!"


    Lone Wolf''s figure instantly shed to the Wind-summoning Beast''s side, and he stabbed it with the Spirit Wave Sword.


    The terrifying heat waveser directly burned through the Wind-summoning Beast''s abdomen. In less than a second, the beast''s huge tiger-like body was instantly turned into charcoal, and even more than half of it was vaporized by the high temperature!


    The intermediate Rank 6 beast had died in less than 10 minutes under their joint attack, which was the best oue for both of them.


    Bald Eagle, who had been blown dozens of meters away by the wind, also rushed over. He was a little short of breath, but when he saw the Wind-summoning Beast''s miserable body, he finally rxed.


    "The battle is over, and the city guards stopped the beast tide. Everything should be fine after this." Lone Wolf put the Spirit Wave Sword back on his waist and said with a rxed expression.


    "Yes, although that beast tide was huge, luckily, there were only two Rank 6 beasts, which is still within an eptable range. Plus, this time, it was all thanks to help from the Spirit Wave Sword and the Invisibility Armor that we were able to deal with them so easily."


    Bald Eagle slowly squatted down. After examining the remains of the Wind-summoning Beast, it immediately activated the storage bag with its spiritual power and stored the body inside.


    The storage bag was a piece of spirit energy equipment issued by the military. There was a Space Array drawn within, and it had a space of 10 square meters, which could store many supplies.


    Although it was not as portable as an Interspatial Ring, it was cheap to make. All the cultivators in the military headquarters who were above the five-star rank had one.


    After dealing with the bodies, the two of them returned to the main battlefield where they were fighting the monster horde. With the help of the veterans from the Hunter Bureau, the remaining monsters were basically cleaned up. Only the slightly stronger ones were left, and they were almost forced into a desperate situation.


    There were numerous corpses on the ground, and the pungent smell of blood made many people frown a little.


    The two of them noticed that the battle was in a stalemate, and they immediately joined in.


    With Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf''s help, the remaining beasts were immediately cleared out. Bald Eagle collected the torn corpses too.


    In the battle with the monster horde, the City Defense Army and Hunter Bureau had all suffered injuries of varying degrees, and a few of them had unfortunately lost their life.


    Everyone''s heart was heavy, but they knew that it was all thanks to the people from the Hunter Bureau, Lord Eagle, and Lord Lone Wolf that they were able to clear the beasts so quickly.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Being able to stop the beasts outside the city walls of Lushui County was the best oue.


    "Clean up the mess and clear the fortifications."


    Bald Eagle looked around and did not find any living ferocious beasts in the vicinity. He turned around and prepared to go back to report today''s situation to his superiors.


    Many members of the City Defense Army felt as if they had just survived a disaster. When they thought of the endless beast tide, their hearts still trembled.


    They had a clear division ofbor as they began to clean up the blood on the ground and the fortifications that had been destroyed by the beasts.


    The roughly 20 members of the Hunter Bureau patrolled the area to see if there were any monsters that had evaded them.


    Lone Wolf nced at the blood-stained wastnd and left with Bald Eagle without looking back.


    Just when everyone thought that the monster horde was gone, a loud noise suddenly rang out, causing all the city guards who were cleaning up the mess to tremble.


    Everyone turned their heads in horror and saw that the nearby city wall of Lushui County had seemingly been hit by a shell.


    The huge power instantly copsed the city wall, which was more than 10 meters tall. Brick fragments flew everywhere, and the solid concrete cracked into countless pieces. Dust immediately spread several meters into the air.


    The moment the city wall copsed, a strong beastly demonic aura swept over. Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf, who were the closest to the city wall, had a change in expression.


    This was because they realized that the city wall had been destroyed by the Gray Howler that had escaped from them a week ago and hidden deep in the mountains.


    It was that huge intermediate Rank 6 Gray Howler!


    Back then, a spatial rift had suddenly appeared in the suburbs not far from Lushui County, and the Rank 6 Gray Howler had been one of the beasts.


    Fortunately, the spatial crack at that time was not big, and only about 100 fierce beasts had appeared. Moreover, they were merely Rank 4 beasts.


    The people from the City Defense Army could take care of them, but the Gray Howler''s appearance was like a heavy bomb, putting all the pedestrians in its surrounding into a trap.


    Fortunately, Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf arrived in time and forced the Gray Howler to retreat.


    However, at that point, Lone Wolf''s leg was seriously injured. Nevertheless, despite being cunning and fast, the Gray Howler fled without a trace after Lone Wolf''s Spirit Wave Sword cut its right arm off.


    Even after mobilizing the entire county''s City Defense Army, they still could not find it in Lushui County and the surrounding viges.


    After that, the matter was left unsettled, and the two of them thought that the monster had fled deep into the mountains.


    They did not expect the Gray Howler to appear at this critical moment and destroy the reinforced city wall with a single blow!


    Thick smoke billowed, and its deafening roar almost caused everyone''s eardrums to burst!


    At this moment, Lone Wolf was livid. Without waiting for Bald Eagle to say anything, he carried his Spirit Wave Sword right away and flew out using his spirit energy.


    Bald Eagle could see that the situation had apparently changed a little, so he dared not dy and immediately followed.


    When the two of them reached a height of more than 10 meters, they quickly discovered the Gray Howler, which was destroying the city walls nonstop.


    The moment he saw the Gray Howler, Bald Eagle instantly gasped because he discovered thatpared to a week ago, the current Gray Howler''s body was even more robust.


    The muscles all over his body were taut, and its right arm, which Lone Wolf had originally cut vertically, was now back in its original state with only a shallow scar!


    "This b*stard''s rank has actually increased!"

 Chapter 299 Cunning Beasts

    Bald Eagle''s expression was full of disbelief. It was hard to imagine that in just a week, the Gray Howler that was hiding in Lushui County had actually improved its strength. Not only had the serious wound on its right armpletely healed, but its body had also berger. It was obvious that its strength was no longer the same as before.


    If it had been before, Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf could have relied on their peak six-star abilities and the great power provided by the Spirit Wave Sword.


    They could fight against the Gray Howler that had reached the peak of Rank 6. But now, they had consumed plenty of spirit energy to deal with the Silver Soul-chasing Wolf and the Wind-summoning Beast. Now, their strength was less than 60% to 70% of their peak.


    They no longer had the confidence to defeat their opponent.


    Even with help from the rest of the City Defense Army and the Hunter Bureau, they still could not reverse the situation.


    After all, it was already difficult for the people from the beast-hunting bureau to deal with the Wind-summoning Beasts. Not to mention, they were all injured to varying degrees like arrows at the end of their flight.


    They were less likely to be an effective force against the Gray Howler.


    To stop the Gray Howler from further destroying Lushui County''s city walls andplete the mission given by the military headquarters, the two of them could only brace themselves and charge forward!


    However, Bald Eagle was puzzled. Why did the Gray Howler suddenly appear at this time? How did its strength increase in such a short time? Were all these things really just coincidences?


    Unfortunately, the current situation did not give him much time to think. Right then, the Gray Howler had already destroyed arge part of the city wall and discovered that not far away, the City Defense team Army cleaning up the battlefield.


    The huge Gray Howler roared and pounced in the group''s direction.


    Things were happening too quickly, and most of them only managed to react when they saw the Gray Howler charging at them like a small mountain.


    Their expressions were filled with fear and confusion. It was hard to imagine what rank the behemoth before them was and why its strength was so terrifying.


    The reinforced outer wall of Lushui County could at least withstand multiple attacks from Rank 6 monsters.


    Yet, before this four-meter-tall monster, it was as fragile as paper. It was smashed apart in the blink of an eye.


    Many people''s faces turned pale, and even those from the Hunter Bureau seemed desperate.


    When they encountered such a huge beast, they did not even have the chance to escape. With their weak abilities, even if they resisted, they definitely would not be able to withstand a casual attack from the beast!


    Just as they were about to fight back with all their might, two sounds of wind breaking suddenly came from the distance.


    Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf both activated the Spirit Wave Sword, which was like a six-star light beam, and rushed over with a piercing light.


    After seeing the two beams of light, the Gray Howler seemed to recall the fear of having its arm cut off by the Spirit Wave Sword a week ago. It immediately slowed its pace toward the City Defense Army, and he turned to escape out of the city.


    "Catch up!"


    Bald Eagle''s eyes were filled with killing intent.


    This happened because they had let this guy go thest time. God knows how many lives had been lost to the Gray Howler and how many buildings it had destroyed while it traveled there from its hiding ce. Now that they had suffered a great loss, they might as well give up their position as captains of the special forces if they made the same mistake again!


    Without evenconsidering Bald Eagle''s size, Lone Wolf took the lead and rushed out.


    His hatred for the Gray Howler had already surpassed the normal hatred that humans had for beasts. He just wanted to kill it as soon as possible. Even if the monster''s strength was raised to peak Rank 6, it would not be able to alleviate Lone Wolf''s killing intent!


    The two of them quickly caught up. Since they were consuming their spirit energy directly, they were even faster than the Gray Howler.


    A few minutester, the two of them had arrived at the border between the forest and the in. It was a few kilometers away from Lushui County.<novelnext></novelnext>


    The Gray Howler had seemingly exhausted a lot of its energy. It suddenly fell to the ground and turned around, staring at the two people chasing after it with an angry face.


    "Don''t even think about escaping. Today will be the day that you die!"


    Lone Wolf held his Spirit Wave Sword and approached it with a face full of killing intent.


    Bald Eagle frowned slightly as if he felt that something was wrong.


    Although the ferocious beasts did not have much intelligence, they at least knew how to eat and fight.


    The Gray Howler was now a pinnacle Rank 6 beast. If the two did not have the Spirit Wave Sword''s support, they would not have a chance of winning.


    However, the beast was a high-level vicious beast, and it had seen the Spirit Wave Sword''s power. It would not deliberately stop when it knew that it was not their opponent.


    With that in mind, Bald Eagle immediately observed their surroundings, wanting to know what the Gray Howler was relying on. Was it a special terrain, a trap, or something else that was disadvantageous to them?


    Meanwhile, Lone Wolf was already less than 20 meters away from the Gray Howler. He was waving his Spirit Wave Sword, ready to kill the beast directly.


    Bald Eagle was about to tell Lone Wolf to be careful, but before he could say anything, their surroundings suddenly changed!


    On the in surrounded by mountains, a gust of wind suddenly blew. Lone Wolf, who had countless battle experiences, suddenly had a bad feeling.


    He immediately consumed his spirit energy and retreated like lightning.


    At the spot where he had been standing, a ck w suddenly shot out.


    The giant ck w was full of spikes and mud. Seeing that it had missed, its owner wanted to continue chasing, but at this point, Lone Wolf was already on guard, and he immediately swung his sword.


    The monster seemed to know the Spirit Wave Sword''s power and immediately retracted its ws. Then, it directly burrowed out of the ground. Its pair of long and narrow eyes looked at the two of them with a bloodthirsty gaze.


    A huge ck spider had emerged from the soil under their feet.


    The spider stood close to two meters tall. Its eight thick ck legs were covered in thorns, and they were close to 1.5 meters long.


    The spider''s body was fat and round, supported by its eight legs. There were three red rings on its tail, and there seemed to be silk floating in the air.


    The spider''s head was huge, and its two poisonous fangs were beige in color, with bloodstains on them!


    Aside from its two blood-red main eyes, the giant spider''s other three pairs of eyes were also glowing with a green light. It had already regarded the two people before it as delicious prey.


    Pfft!


    The giant spider could not hold back any longer. It took the lead and attacked Lone Wolf who was closest to it. With a flick of its tail, countless white spider threads spewed out, shrouding the sky and the earth as they shot toward the Lone Wolf.


    Lone Wolf was prepared. The moment his opponent attacked, he dodged. Seeing the white spider silk fall to the ground and sizzle, his face suddenly became heavy.


    "Hmph, I knew the Gray Howler had external help. If I hadn''t gone up to test him, who knows how long this thing would have hidden in the soil."


    Lone Wolf retreated to Bald Eagle''s side and pretended to be rxed as he tilted his head and spoke.


    Bald Eagle was no longer in the mood toment on Lone Wolf''s reckless behavior. Although he had never seen the giant spider in front of him, he had seen pictures and information on it in the military archives.

 Chapter 300 Using All Of His Trump Cards

    The giant spider was called a Pit Spider, and it was one of the more powerful demonic spider-type beasts.


    The strength of each spider in the group was also different. Most of them ranged from the peak of Rank 5 to early Rank 7.


    The giant Pit Spider in front of them was an intermediate Rank 6, which was considered the average strength in the group.


    However, a rank that both of them would not be afraid of on normal days was thest straw that broke the camel''s back at this moment.


    They already had trouble dealing with the Gray Howler, which was at the peak of Rank 6. At this point, even a single Rank 5 beast would be enough to throw them into a mess.


    Not to mention, the Pit Spider in front of them had already reached intermediate Rank 6. It wasparable to a peak six-star human cultivator.


    "I didn''t expect there to be a Rank 6 beast among the demonic beasts that appeared from the spatial crack this time. This is going to be a little tricky..."


    Lone Wolf frowned slightly and did not know what to do.


    Bald Eagle finally understood the reason why the Gray Howler had fled the moment it saw the two of them. It was to lure them to a location farther away from Lushui County.


    After the Pit Spider came out of the pit, the Gray Howler had swiftly escaped to the bottom. To avoid detection, they could no longer move.


    The two of them had fallen into the Gray Howler''s trap precisely because they had been too eager to kill it.


    They did not expect that a beast with low spirit intelligence woulde up with such a strategy. Besides, the two of them walked right into it, which really made them feel ashamed.


    As captains of the special forces, they had been through hundreds of battles and destroyed many rebel organizations, finding many spies.


    However, due to their carelessness, they had fallen into the beast''s trap, making the already bad situation worse.


    Just as Bald Eagle was thinking about how to deal with the current situation, Lone Wolf suddenly spoke.


    "I have a phobia of insects. You deal with the big spider, and I''ll deal with the Gray Howler."


    Lone Wolf''s face was heavy as he ordered in a low voice.


    What a joke. How could Lone Wolf, who had killed countless enemies and criminals, be afraid of insects?


    Bald Eagle did not need to think to know what Lone Wolf''s goal was. He wanted him to deal with the weaker enemies.


    However, with the Gray Howler''s strength, it would be impossible for Lone Wolf to match it even if he was at his peak, much less now that his leg was injured and the spirit energy in his body was seriously depleted. Even self-protection was a problem.


    He hesitated and was just about to say that the two of them should work together, but by then, the Gray Howler and Pit Spider already charged over to kill them.


    The two of them immediately spread out without hesitation.


    The monsters'' huge fists and steel de-like ws instantly destroyed the ground into a mess.


    Immediately after, a life-and-death chase was staged on the in.


    Although the two of them tried to work together many times, they were quickly separated by the Gray Howler and the Pit Spider. After a few times, not only did the two of them consume their spirit energy, but they also did not have the slightest sess.


    In contrast, the attacks of the two fierce beasts became more and more intense. The two of them were gradually overwhelmed and were now in danger.


    Helpless, Bald Eagle had no choice but to follow Lone Wolf''s previous request. He began to focus on dealing with the Pit Spider.


    Although he could not win easily now, he still had the ability to fight with the Spirit Wave Sword.


    However, it was difficult for Lone Wolf to find an opportunity to attack the lightning-fast Gray Howler by relying on the Spirit Wave Sword, which had an attack range of less than two meters.


    After all, he could not trade injury for injury with the fierce beast. If he used the Spirit Wave Sword to counterattack, he would at most cut off one of his enemy''s arms, but the follow-up attack would be enough to kill him.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Even though they were at the peak of physical fitness as humans,pared to those ferocious beasts, they did not have any advantage.


    Even an ordinary Rank 5 monster''s muscles and bones were tougher than theirs.


    Therefore, in the face of the beast''s offense, the two could not find a good opportunity to attack and could only retreat.


    Bang!


    Bald Eagle''s figure shed as he flew into the air, relying on the temporary upward force to avoid the Pit Spider''s attack. He turned his cannon''s muzzle and directly fired at the pursuing beast on the ground.


    The explosion of the energy bomb brought about a violent explosion. The surrounding trees kept shaking, and a few of them even broke.


    The enormous power and momentum sent the Pit Spider flying a few meters away, but it did not cause any obvious damage.


    A translucent spirit energy shield kept rippling around the Pit Spider.


    It easily blocked Bald Eagle''s attack. It was only in a sorry state, but it did not suffer any injuries.


    In terms of defensive ability, the Pit Spider''s spirit energy shield was not inferior to the Silver Soul-chasing Wolf''s, so it was obviously impossible to kill the spider from a long distance.


    The Magic Crystal Cannon did not work. In fact, Bald Eagle had already expected it. After all, not all weapons were as powerful as the Spirit Wave Sword.


    Putting away the Magic Crystal Cannon, Bald Eagle began to counterattack with the Spirit Wave Sword.


    It was a pity that the Pit Spider''s eight legs were fast, and it was difficult for him to attack it in a head-on situation.


    However, the beast''s legs, which were as sharp as des, kept stabbing at Bald Eagle, forcing him to move. The battle gradually intensified.


    No, the current situation was clearly in favor of the two ferocious beasts. Neither Bald Eagle nor Lone Wolf could escape their attackers.


    "I can''t wait any longer!"


    Bald Eagle quickly retreated and barely dodged a spider silk attack. His breathing was rapid, and the spirit energy in his body was almost exhausted.


    Seeing that he was about to lose the chance to counterattack, Bald Eagle could only ce himself in danger and hope that he could use hisst trump card to break the stalemate and buy time for the two of them.


    Seeing the Pit Spider charge at him once again, Bald Eagle did not dodge. Instead, he charged straight at its de-like ws.


    When the Pit Spider saw this, it immediately let out a sharp screech and charged forward, full of excitement. It raised its sharp ck ws, ready to pierce the chest of the slippery human before it.


    On the other side, Lone Wolf had seemingly sensed something. He immediately forced the Gray Howler back and took the time to look around.


    Seeing that Bald Eagle''s body was about to be pierced by the Pit Spider''s ws, Lone Wolf''s pupils shrank!


    Ding! Ding!


    The sound of metal shing rang out. The Pit Spider''s ws pierced through Bald Eagle''s military uniform, but they could not prate it in the slightest. It was as if Bald Eagle''s chest was not made of flesh and blood but made of tungsten steel.


    Just as the Pit Spider''s multiple eyes revealed its surprise, a bone-piercing chill suddenly emerged from Bald Eagle''s chest.


    The sharp drop in temperature and the white cold current flowed along the spider''s ck ws at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning the huge Pit Spider into an ice sculpture.


    The Gray Howler, which was not far away, also sensed the sudden change. For a moment, it dyed its attack, giving Lone Wolf, who could not take it any longer, a chance to catch his breath.


    Bald Eagle noticed that the menacing Pit Spider had already turned into an ice sculpture. He immediately used his spirit energy and rushed toward Lone Wolf like lightning.


    This was because he knew that the Epic-grade Heart-protecting Ice Mirror on his chest would grant him a few seconds of damage immunity upon receiving a fatal attack, and the freezing ability that produced a cold current would notst long.

 Chapter 301 Defeating The Gray Howler, A Greater Crisis!

    Not to mention, the one frozen was such arge body with the strength of an intermediate Rank 6. It might onlyst a dozen seconds.


    Moreover, the Heart-protection Mirror''s damage immunity and freezing effect had a cooldown of 120 hours. If he missed this opportunity, he would never get another one.


    Meanwhile, Lone Wolf, who had known Bald Eagle for several years, naturally knew the effects of his Epic-grade equipment. Hence, after reuniting with Bald Eagle, he did not hesitate at all.


    He directly circted the spirit energy in his body as if it was free, in order to achieve the fastest speed and the fiercest attack.


    At this moment, the two of them were like gangrene attached to the bone, and theyunched a fierce attack on the Gray Howler without regard for their lives.


    Under the pincer attack of the two experts from the special forces, the Gray Howler, who had been in an offensive state the entire time, suddenly became flustered.


    The Gray Howler''s brief confusion also gave both of them the best opportunity.


    Lone Wolf directly transformed into an assassin in the game andunched a self-sacrificing attack on the Gray Howler.


    He almost ignored the Gray Howler''s attack, only hoping to use his own flesh and blood in exchange for an opportunity to attack.


    Fortunately, with Bald Eagle''s cooperation, Lone Wolf did not suffer much damage, and he sessfully sent the Spirit Wave Sword into Gray Howler''s neck!


    Under the terrifying heat wave that could instantly vaporize steel, the nearly four-meter-tall Gray Howler shriveled up in an instant.


    He did not even time to scream before he died on the spot!


    Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf had both paid a huge price for this.


    The spirit energy in their bodies had beenpletely consumed. Arge piece of flesh had been cut out of Lone Wolf''s left arm, and blood was flowing out.


    Bald Eagle''s chest had also been grazed by the monster''s punch, and he was almost out of breath.


    Ever since they entered the military, it was their first time being in such a sorry state. Fortunately, the biggest hidden danger had been removed.


    The two of them were already powerless against the remaining Pit Spiders, but at least their destructive power was not as strong as the Gray Howler''s.


    By now, the City Defense Army should have already gone to get help!


    Bald Eagle''s face was pale as he clutched his chest. He had suffered a long-distance impact that had inevitably broken his ribs. On top of that, the current situation was bad, and getting out alive was an extravagant hope.


    He looked at the life-like ice sculpture not far away, which had many cracks.


    Heughed miserably, his face full of self-mockery.


    "Hurry up and leave. Don''t die in this d*mn ce."


    Lone Wolf bit on a bandage and used it to wrap the wound on his left arm, which was now missing arge chunk of flesh. At the same time, he spoke in a muffled voice.


    Bald Eagle looked back and saw that Lone Wolf''s left arm was already dyed red with blood. He suddenly felt that he had let Lone Wolf down.


    If the previous incident had not happened, if they had seen through the Gray Howler''s tricks earlier, perhaps things would not have been so bad. And he, an expert like Lone Wolf, would have likely reached the seven-star rank in the next few years.


    He would not have fallen to such a state.


    Bald Eagle gritted his teeth, and his grip on the Spirit Wave Sword tightened.


    "Pit Spider, right? Since you''re treating us as food, then be prepared to have a few of your legs cut off."


    His eyes were fierce as he spoke, and the aura around him remained turbulent.


    His expression of guilt and sorrow disappeared.


    "Let''s leave this ce first. We''ll make ns when we get back. Lushui County is huge. If we find a few more people, we won''t have to worry about not being able to deal with this beast!"


    Seeing that Bald Eagle was ready to fight to the death, Lone Wolf immediately went forward to dissuade him.


    However, just as his words fell like spider webs, the ice sculpture with countless cracks could no longer hold andpletely copsed!


    "Roar!"


    The Pit Spider struggled out of the hole, its heart filled with rage as it roared madly at the two humans in front of it.<novelnext></novelnext>


    They had actually killed the Gray Howler. It was undoubtedly a provocation and a trampling on its dignity.


    Even though its body temperature was too low for it to run quickly, the Pit Spider had already made its ns while it was frozen.


    Although beasts did not have the intelligence of humans, beasts of Rank 6 and above knew how to act ording to the battle situation. They were well aware of tactics such as ambushes and sneak attacks.


    Therefore, the moment it was frozen, it understood that it had fallen into that person''s trap.


    Hence, it quickly thought of countless ways to kill the human, including turning him into a petri dish for its offspring.


    As it roared, the Pit Spider began to shake its body.


    Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf''s expressions changed drastically.


    The moment they witnessed the scene, the two of them were reminded of horrible things.


    Before entering the Special Forces, every soldier had to learn a lot of knowledge and gainbat experience.


    The Rampaging Beast Guide was one of the manuals that one needed to know by heart.


    However, after they entered the Special Forces and became captains, they gradually forgot about it.


    They only remembered the beast''s weakness and appearance.


    They hadpletely forgotten its habits.


    However, the two of them had always remembered the information about the Pit Spiders.


    It was just that no such thing had happened during the previous intense battle.


    They had originally thought that this huge Pit Spider was a male, never considering that it was a female.


    In reality, the female Pit Spider did note in a ck species, and the ck spot on its surface actually consisted of small underground Pit Spiders that had just hatched and were following their mother!


    The moment Bald Eagle thought of the Pit Spider''s ck surface, which was made up of a dense horde of spiders, he felt a chill run down his spine!


    One should know that the Pit Spider was a ferocious beast, but it was fond of feasting on rotten flesh and blood


    Those newly-hatched Pit Spiders, on the other hand, did not seem to favor scavenging.


    They were more willing to survive off of living animals.


    If Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf were parasitized by thousands of small Pit Spiders, would that not be worse than death?


    Thinking of this, Bald Eagle''s heart went numb. If it really came to that, he would rather use the Spirit Wave Sword to sever his own head.


    Seeing the approaching ck "waves" of creatures the size of puppies, Bald Eagle stopped hesitating. He took out the magic crystal cannon and fired a cannonball at the group of small spiders closest to him.


    The energy reserves of the magic crystal cannons were limited, and they usually needed to be reced with energy stones or recharged after 20 shots.


    However, Bald Eagle could not care less about solving that problem now. He aimed at the target and fired a shot.


    The violent energy fluctuations and power of the explosion cleared all the small spiders within a 10-meter radius.


    The Pit Spiders not far away saw this and attacked more fiercely.


    Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf''s hearts tightened. They were already like arrows at the end of their flight.


    As long as the other side pulled them in a little, they would both be the Pit Spiders'' dinner due to theirck of spirit energy.


    Thinking of this, Lone Wolf immediately took out the Invisibility Armor and quickly put it on.


    "Run! I have the Invisibility Armor! These things can''t hurt me!" Lone Wolf shouted and immediately snatched the magic crystal cannon from Bald Eagle''s hands.


    How could Bald Eagle let Lone Wolf, who had a weak leg, face such danger on his own? Moreover, if something happened to Lone Wolf, he would not be able to face their military leaders.

 Chapter 302 Lone Wolfs Thoughts

    As such, Bald Eagle was determined not to agree with Lone Wolf''s actions. He dodged the attack and took advantage of the window of time when the Magic Crystal Cannon would recharge itself to fire another energy bomb at the iing parent body.


    The powerful energy bomb directly sent those little spiders flying, and the Pit Spiders had no choice but to condense spirit energy shields to defend themselves. Their speed was greatly reduced as a result.


    However, this would not change both of their oues. It was only a matter of time before they died.


    If they could not cause fatal damage to the Pit Spider, both of them would lose the ability to put up a fight because their spirit energy would bepletely exhausted.


    "Screech!"


    Suddenly, a sharp screech interrupted Bald Eagle''s thoughts.


    The Pit Spider, with its fat body, moved its eight legs in a frenzy, rushing over like a high-speed truck. The other small spiders that had not beenpletely destroyed were already within 10 meters of the two individuals.


    Seeing that the two of them were about to die there, Lone Wolf''s eyes suddenly turned red!


    He could not just watch hisrade die before him.


    Therefore, the only thing he could do now was squeeze everyst bit of energy out. If he had to die, he would die before Bald Eagle.


    Lone Wolf held the Spirit Wave Sword tightly in his right hand and immediately activated the molecr cutting mode.


    A piercing yellow light instantly poured out, reaching a range of two meters.


    Although the molecr cutting mode did not have the terrifying destructive power of the heat wave, it was more than enough to deal with these small spiders.


    Lone Wolf was not afraid of death. However, as a peak six-star cultivator, he had a strong sense of dignity. Even though he was struggling to survive, he refused to be killed by these small spiders.


    The two of them made their final battle preparations. The ck spiders that were dozens of centimeters long came at them like a wave, and the mother Pit Spider was only a dozen meters away from them.


    "Die!"


    Lone Wolf''s muscles tensed up, and he rushed out like lightning. He held the Spirit Wave Sword, which was constantly condensingser beams, tightly in his hand.


    The cutting rays that could ignore defenses did not let them down, directly cutting dozens of small spiders into pieces. Dark red blood and green venom sprayed everywhere, and even the air was filled with the smell of blood.


    On the other side, seeing the Pit Spider''s iing attack, Bald Eagle could only condense a thin spirit energy shield with haste.


    Just as the shield appeared around him, the Pit Spider suddenly raised its two front legs and stabbed down with all its might.


    His spirit energy shield did not evenst for a second before it turned into bubbles. Bald Eagle took advantage of this short pause and immediately retreated to avoid the fatal blow.


    He knew that just dodging and defending would not change his oue. Even though chances were slim, he still did not want to give up. He swiftly mobilized thest of his spirit energy and rushed toward the Pit Spider.


    The heat waveser appeared instantly, and the high temperature on theser''s surface even distorted the air.


    At this moment, Bald Eagle was like a moth flying into the fire, a small boat under a huge wave that could disappearpletely at any time.


    Seeing that its prey was still struggling, the Pit Spider was instantly enraged. It shot silk out of its tail, vowing topletely tie the other party to the ground.


    Bald Eagle moved nimbly and kept cutting the spider''s silk.


    He dodged left and right as he faced the sickle-like stabbing and actually found an opportunity to attack.


    However, the Pit Spider was very fast. By the time he brandished his Spirit Wave sword again, and the Pit Spider had already moved a dozen meters away.


    Worse still was even though most of the small spiders were focused on Lone Wolf, there were still hundreds of small spiders surrounding him.


    It reduced the space where he could move and dodge.


    Bald Eagle could even smell the scent of death!


    His breathing was rapid, his legs were trembling uncontrobly from exhaustion, and his face was pale from his diminishing spirit energy.


    At this point, it was not an exaggeration to describe his situation as having no chance of survival.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Hiss hiss hiss!"


    The little ck spiders took quick steps and quickly pounced on him.


    Bald Eagle could only clean them up with thest bit of enthusiasm he had.


    However, as the number of spiders around him increased, the speed at which he swung the Spirit Wave Sword also became slower.


    A few ck spiders had already reached Bald Eagle''s feet, but he had no ability to push them back.


    Just as everything seemed to being to an end, Bald Eagle suddenly heard an explosion of lightning!


    Lone Wolf''s body was as fast as lightning, and his entire body was shing with a golden current. The little spiders that had almost climbed up Bald Eagle''s trousers were instantly paralyzed by the lightning''s sudden appearance, and they fell to the ground one after another.


    Even the enormous Pit Spider was sent flying.


    "I won''t let you die here. Pull yourself together!" Lone Wolf said firmly.


    Then, he quickly lifted Bald Eagle and used thest of his spirit energy to activate the teleportation function of his boots.


    Within the range of the Pit Spider''s three pairs ofpound eyes.


    Lone Wolf disappeared from his original spot again and reappeared dozens of meters away like a bolt of lightning.


    Arge area of the ground in front of him was constantly shing with dazzling lightning, causing the surrounding spiders to be electrocuted and fall to the ground. Even their speed was greatly reduced.


    Seeing that its food had actually flown away and that the two prey had killed many of its young, the Pit Spider could no longer maintain its good mood and tease its prey.


    A burst of terrifying spirit energy erupted from its body, and the strong sense of oppression made the remaining restless spider cubs immediately prostrate on the ground.


    They were afraid that if they angered their mother, they would be treated as food and be disposed of!


    The Pit Spider was thoroughly enraged, and moved even faster than it did during its peak.


    Although Lone Wolf had used the Thunderbolt skill from his boots to bring Bald Eagle out of danger, he was still highly confident in his own abilities.


    Despite that, the distance covered by the Blink skill provided was only a few dozen meters, which was not enough for him to escape the pursuit of the Pit Spiders.


    Seeing that the Pit Spiders were charging at them again, Lone Wolf had no choice but to pull Bald Eagle along and run in Lushui County''s direction.


    Right now, Lone Wolf was reaching his limit in terms of physical strength. The previous battle had caused the wound on his left hand to reopen, and blood had been seeping through the bandage, flowing down his arm.


    He no longer had the ability to fight.


    Once more, he looked at Bald Eagle, who was also in an extremely bad state.


    Bald Eagle was already in a state of unconsciousness.


    He only knew how to move his legs mechanically.


    Seeing that the Pit Spider was about to catch up, Lone Wolf got anxious. He could not care less about anything else and snatched the Magic Crystal Cannon from Bald Eagle''s hand.


    Without even looking, he fired a shot behind him straight away.


    It would slightly slow down the Pit Spiders'' pursuit.


    Despite using various methods, the distance between both of them and the Pit Spiders was still closing.


    The Pit Spider''s six legs almost left afterimages, its two sickle-like ws were raised high, and its multiple eyes constantly surged with a bloodthirsty intent!


    Seeing that it was an unavoidable situation, Lone Wolf pushed Bald Eagle away in a hurry. Then, he turned around to face the angry and oppressive Pit Spider alone.

 Chapter 303 Danger Eliminated

    Bald Eagle fell to the ground, and his mind cleared up a little. He struggled to open his eyes, and when he saw Lone Wolf facing the Pit Spider alone, his heart suddenly shrank.


    Rustle...


    Before he could open his mouth, a strange phenomenon suddenly urred around him.


    Hundreds of small spiders that could not hold back their hunger directly attacked Bald Eagle.


    In this moment of life and death, Bald Eagle could only force himself to stand up. He carried the magic crystal cannon, his legs trembling.


    When the little spiders saw their prey take out his ck weapon, they immediately learned their lesson and fled in all directions.


    Once they were dozens of meters away, they crouched down, ready to find the next opportunity to kill their prey in one strike.


    Although the crisis was slightly averted, Bald Eagle was not delighted because Lone Wolf was currently facing the Pit Spider alone, and he had already been forced into a dead end.


    Even though he had the Spirit Wave Sword, he could only restrict the Pit Spider''s closebat attacks a little, but the endless silk that gushed out of the spider''s abdomen had already sealed Lone Wolf''s position. His body had been slightly bound, and it greatly reduced his movement speed.


    Seeing that hisrade, who had fought alongside him in the past, was about to die, Bald Eagle''s eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. His heart was filled with grief and reluctance, as well as regret for his own ipetence. All of his emotions gushed out of his chest, causing him to immediately shout.


    "Lone Wolf, don''t die!!"


    As soon as his voice fell, the Pit Spider immediately waved its ws, ruthlessly jabbed them at Lone Wolf''s chest.


    In that split second, Lone Wolf only had time to roll to the side because he had exhausted his physical strength.


    However, the Pit Spider''s sharp ws were extremely fast, and they pierced through his calf, firmly nailing him to the ground!


    Blood spurted out instantly, and the excruciating pain caused Lone Wolf''s face to twist!


    The intense pain caused the veins on his forehead to twitch continuously, and the excessive loss of blood made his face as pale as paper.


    Lone Wolf''s right leg had already been cut off before, and it had lost many of its functions after being reattached. Now that it had been pierced and torn by the Pit Spider''s ws, Lone Wolf''s right leg waspletely crippled.


    Not far away, Bald Eagle''s face was filled with fear, and his heart almost broke.


    Lone Wolf was tormented by the pain, unable to deal with the Pit Spider''s next attack.


    "Roar!"


    Seeing that its two preys hadpletely lost their ability to fight, the female Pit Spider was extremely excited. She kept waving her two front ws, nning to tear off their limbs so that her remaining spider cubs could have a good meal!


    The surrounding ck "waves" gathered again, and the number of small spiders was so dense that it was enough to kill a person with a phobia on the spot.


    Lone Wolf and Bald Eagle were prepared to die as they faced this near-certain death situation.


    They picked up the Spirit Wave Swords with great effort, with the intention that even if they were to burn themselves to ashes with the thermalser, they would never be a petri dish for the small spiders!


    With such a thought in mind, the two of them immediately prepared to kill themselves.


    In any case, the heat waveser could instantly rise to a high temperature of over 10,000 degrees, and there would be no pain at all.


    Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf looked at each other and raised the Spirit Wave Sword at the same time.


    Their breathing was a little rushed, but their hearts were very calm.


    Long before they entered the military, the two of them had already sworn to be loyal to the federation forever.


    Although the current oue was not what they had expected, it was still a pretty good ending.


    With that in mind, Bald Eagle ced his hand on the button and aimed the ckser muzzle at his head.


    Just as the two of them were about to press the button, a majestic spirit energy suddenly shot over from the distance!


    "My two heroes, hold on!"<novelnext></novelnext>


    A majestic voice resounded across the in like a thunderp. The sound wave even stirred up the withered grass and ashes on the ground.


    Bald Eagle and hisrade immediately opened their eyes when they heard the sudden movement.


    He looked toward the source of the voice in surprise.


    In their line of sight, they saw a ck figure approaching from the distance like a ghost, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of them.


    Bald Eagle only saw the person''s face when he got closer.


    It was the head captain of Lushui County''s City Defense Army, Zhou Peng!


    Zhou Peng''s strength was in the early six-star rank. Logically, he should have rushed over immediately after hearing the news that fierce beasts were about to attack the city.


    However, a few days ago, Zhou Peng had gone to the Eastern Railway Station on official business.


    Even though immediately rushed back after receiving the news, he was still a step toote.


    After returning to Lushui County and learning of the matter''s severity, he immediately followed the instructions of the City Defense Army members and rushed toward ce where the two captains had disappeared. Only then did he arrive at this critical moment.


    Looking at the blood-soaked bandage on Lone Wolf''s left hand and the huge wound on his right leg, Zhou Peng''s eyes twitched.


    Bald Eagle was almost unconscious, and there were many wounds on his body.


    Seeing that the situation had be so dire, Zhou Peng''s heart was shaken.


    The two of them were worthy of being rare talents cultivated by the federal government. Although the battle hade to this point, they still had no intention of retreating. They would rathermit suicide at thest moment without leaving an intact corpse than leave the Pit Spider with any benefits.


    From this, he could be seen how loyal the two were.


    At the same time, he felt extremely fortunate.


    Fortunately, he had arrived in time. If the two of them had really died in Lushui County, he, as the head captain, would have to bear the me.


    At that thought, he immediately used his spirit energy to form a spirit energy shields around the two of them, preventing them from being hurt again.


    With some room to breathe, Lone Wolf immediately took out some healing medicine from his foldable backpack and began to heal himself.


    Bald Eagle trembled as he took out a few bottles of medicine to replenish his spirit energy and condition.


    They had been fighting all this time and had no free time to use their medicine.


    Thankfully, there were still benefits to persevering. At least, they would not die for now.


    Although Zhou Peng was only at the beginning of the sixth-star rank, as long as he had the support of the Spirit Wave Sword, it should not be a problem for him to deal with the Pit Spiders.


    Lone Wolf, who was the closest to him, immediately handed the Spirit Wave Sword to Zhou Peng.


    Thetter immediately activated his spirit energy, and with anger, as well as killing intent in his eyes, he charged at the Pit Spider.


    As for the small spiders that were near him, they were promptly knocked out by the pressure of his spirit energy.


    The Pit Spider did not expect someone to suddenly appear and bite its head off. Furthermore, his strength was not much weaker than that of the previous two.


    In addition, it had been fighting for a pretty long time, so its spirit power and physical strength were not at their peak.


    It was actually at a disadvantage before the human who was attacking it.


    The Spirit Wave Sword''s existence made the Pit Spiders afraid. As the head captain, although Zhou Peng''s overall strength was not as strong as Lone Wolf''s and Bald Eagle''s, he won in the fact that he had just joined the battle and possessed rich spirit energy.


    It did not take long for him to leave a wound on the Pit Spider''s body.


    The attack range of the heat wave mode was shorter. To attack the spider, Zhou Peng had to use the cuttingser.

 Chapter 304 The Award Ceremony

    However, the cuts ignored defense and could also cause significant damage to the Pit Spiders.


    Under such circumstances, it would not take long for the Pit Spider to die on the spot.


    Zhou Peng also dealt with the little spiders and wrapped things up neatly.


    On the other side, Lone Wolf''s injuries had healed quite a bit, and his condition had also improved a little.


    Nevertheless, it would take at least a day to recover from the loss of spirit power, so the two of them were still unable to join the battle.


    Bald Eagle''s condition was much better, and his face was full of joy after surviving the disaster.


    At the same time, this battle had also taught the two of them a lesson, helping them mature more.


    About seven or eight minutester, the two of them stood up. The ins were covered with the corpses of the small spiders. Thest female spider was also covered in wounds and not far from death''s door.


    Not long after, Zhou Peng found an opportunity to attack it. He circted the spirit energy in his body and easily blocked the spider''s flustered attack. Then, he immediately moved forward and adjusted the Spirit Wave Sword''s mode to the heat waveser. The next moment, he stabbed one of the Pit Spider''s eyes.


    The enormous Pit Spider did not even have time to screech before half of its head evaporated in an instant. Most of its body had apparently shrunk as well, leaving behind only a small pile of skin, flesh, and bones.


    After the battle was over, Zhou Peng immediately handed the Pit Spider''s remaining corpse to Bald Eagle. At the same time, he supported Lone Wolf and rushed back to Lushui County.


    Although Lone Wolf had taken medicine that could heal him quickly, his right leg bone had been injured. Not only could he not exert any strength, but he could not even feel half of his leg.


    Despite that, he acted as if there was nothing unusual in front of Zhou Peng and Bald Eagle. Instead, he walked forward with a nk expression.


    Even if he had to go back to the way he was before, he would not hesitate to continue fighting!


    However, Bald Eagle did not think so. He looked at Lone Wolf''s right leg, which was suspended in the air, and his heart sank to the extreme.


    If he had been a little stronger, or if he had seen through the Gray Howler''s tricks earlier, things would definitely not have developed so badly!


    Now that Lone Wolf''s right leg was injured again, he would probably not be able to fight on another battlefield in the future!


    Although the matter of the beasts attacking the city had been dealt with, the sacrifices of those who were like family to him were things he could not bear.


    ...


    About ten minutester, Zhou Peng arranged for Lone Wolf and Bald Eagle to stay in the best hospital in Lushui County.


    Meanwhile, the rest of the City Defense Army soldiers who were not injured were arranged to clean up the battlefield.


    They reported the situation to the leaders and appeased the people. Repairs on the city wall were also progressing steadily.


    After a series of things were done, the crisis in Lushui County was finally resolved.


    Three days passed in a sh.


    Today was the day that the Military Department presented Wu Mo with several medals and awards.


    Thest time Lieutenant General Lu visited the Fifth Research Department, he had merely wanted to extend his condolences and form a closer rtionship with Wu Mo. Although Wu Mo was awarded the rank of major and a medal, the specific Military Merit Award and Research Pioneer Award had not yet been determined.


    ? It was not until today, three dayster, that the military sent people to the Fifth Research Department again.


    Generally speaking, the award ceremony for second-ss merit should be made public to encourage other researchers and boost the winner''s reputation.


    However, at Wu Mo''s request, the award ceremony was only held on the top floor of the research building.


    Only others who were also responsible for mass-production research technology were there. Not only was the ceremony low-key, but it also did not take up much time off their work.


    Therefore, Wu Mo''s Second-ss Merit Award Ceremony was held on the top floor of the research building. The audience only consisted of the researchers on the top floor, Academician Xu, Professor Tan, and several other senior executives.<novelnext></novelnext>


    The reward for the second-ss merit was extremely generous. There were rare forging materials and the personal notes of two peak six-star masters. It was a huge fortune.


    In addition, there was a cash reward of £¤800,000 and a gold medal of merit!


    Medals and certificates were only given to the most outstanding soldiers in the military.


    Second-ss merit required a lot of effort.


    Therefore, when the crowd saw the sergeant hand Wu Mo the gold medal, many of them were excited.


    A medal and rank represented supreme glory, and many soldiers would spend half of their lives wishing for a medal.


    Yet, how many cultivators who had entered the military and fought for more than 10 years could receive the title of outstanding soldier? It was hard to even get third-ss merit, much less this gold medal.


    The crowd looked at Wu Mo with envy. This was their first time watching an award ceremony up close. Their blood was boiling, and they were determined to work hard and make a name for themselves.


    "Thank you, Sir, for attending the Fifth Research Department''s award ceremony. I will continue to work hard."


    Wu Mo bowed slightly and spoke in a humble tone.


    The officer who presented the award was in his 40s. He was an early-stage six-star cultivator. He had a strong body, sharp facial features, and deep eyes. However, there was a two-inch-long scar across his cheekbone that destroyed his heroic aura and made him look a little fierce.


    Despite that, this officer had a very gentle personality, and he looked at Wu Mo with a smile.


    "It''s my honor to present an award to a pir of the country like you. Wu Mo, you don''t have to be so formal."


    Several of them exchanged greetings for a moment, and after a while, the officer was ready to leave.


    Academician Xu and Professor Tan went to see him off, leaving only Wu Mo and a group of young researchers on the top floor of the building.


    Wu Mo lowered his head and looked at the gold medal in his palm that felt slightly cold. The national g of the Nine Provinces kingdom had been drawn on it, and there were symbols representing fortitude and courage.


    The medal''s carving was extremely fine, and its surface emitted a faint golden light that was extremely dazzling.


    With a light snap of his fingers, Wu Mo immediately kept all the rewards and medals presented by his senior officer in his Interspatial Ring.


    At this moment, the rest of the researchers gathered around him.


    "Congrattions, Wu Mo. You''re really strong to actually get second-ss merit.


    "Didn''t they say that it''s very difficult to increase military merits and medals? Why is it that when ites to Wu Mo, it''s like drinking water?"


    "Why don''t you take a look at what kind of person Wu Mo is? He''s the one who developed the Invisibility Armor and the Spirit Wave Sword."


    "Yeah, I don''t think anyone can be as strong as Wu Mo."


    Everyone was talking at once. Their faces were full of envy as they congratted him.


    Wu Mo felt embarrassed when he heard theirpliments.


    "I''m quite lucky to have found a research path that suits me. You don''t have to envy me. As long as you work hard and don''t give up, you''ll be able to reach my level, or even higher, one day."


    Hearing Wu Mo''s words, everyone nodded in agreement.


    "Alright, let''s not disturb Wu Mo''s work anymore. Let''s get back to work."


    Everyone left with light footsteps and returned to their posts to continue their research.

 Chapter 305 Precious Materials

    Wu Mo took this opportunity to sit on the couch and rest.


    He had been busy with work for the past three days, and the time he spent in the Divine-grade Forging Space was equivalent to more than 10 hours in the real world.


    Now that everything was ready, he only needed a factory with cutting-edge technology to forge the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    In fact, he was not as calm as he looked on the surface.


    After all, he was only in his 20s, and he was feeling a little emotional about receiving such an award.


    It had been more than half a year since he left the Divine Arms Academy and went to the Fifth Research Department.


    Everything felt like passing clouds and smoke, disappearing in the blink of an eye.


    Sometimes, he could not help but wonder, what kind of experience and achievements would he have gained if he had not epted the letter of appointment from Instructor Zhou Jinlong after he graduated?


    While he was lost in his thoughts, he heard two sets of footsteps outside.


    He looked up and saw that Academician Xu and Professor Tan had returned.


    "Academician Xu, Professor Tan, do you have any instructions for me?"


    Seeing the serious expressions on both of their faces, Wu Mo immediately stood up and spoke calmly.


    "Hehe, there''s nothing much. I just wanted to tell you that from now on, your position in the Fifth Research Department will be changed to ''senior researcher.'' You can enjoy more benefits and better treatment in the department," Academician Xu said with a smile.


    Professor Tan was smiling too.


    Wu Mo had not only restored the Fifth Research Department''s reputation to its peak, but he had also suppressed the momentum of other research institutes.


    Now, the military leaders were in contact with them much more frequently, and there were endless orders for mass production. This not only made the Fifth Research Department more economically prosperous, but it also made them one of the core suppliers in the war zone.


    The two of them were naturally beyond satisfied with Wu Mo.


    "Thank you, Academician Xu and Professor Tan, for your trust and cultivation. I''ll definitely bring the Fifth Research Department to a higher level at the uing Annual Exchange Conference."


    Wu Mo was overjoyed. He did not expect to be a senior researcher in less than a year after joining the Fifth Research Department.


    In the entire Fifth Research Department, there were less than 50 senior researchers.


    To reach such a level within a year of joining was even more unprecedented.


    Thinking of this, Wu Mo''s heart was full of energy. He had an even stronger desire to improve his strength!


    After Wu Mo asked Academician Xu about the progress of production in the two workshops and the Invisibility Armor''s new improvement, he received a satisfactory answer.


    "The production speed for your improved Invisibility Armor is more than two times faster than before, and the cost of rted materials has reduced by a lot. Even old Wen has confidence in your techniques. Wu Mo, it looks like you''re about to break through to six stars!" Xu Wuyue said with a delight in his eyes.


    He could sense that the spirit energy in Wu Mo''s body had be increasingly vigorous. It was only a matter of time before he broke through to the six-star rank.


    "Academician Xu, you tter me. I have such achievements mostly because I learned everything the sages had to offer in the internal reference room. I''m just an ordinary person standing on the shoulders of giants. If it weren''t for their cultivation, I wouldn''t have my skills today."


    "Hehe, the internal reference room is open to researchers 24 hours a day, but those who can truly understand the depth of the material are always in the minority. Diligence is the first word on the path of forging. Wu Mo, you don''t have to be so modest."


    Professor Tan''s words made Wu Mo feel a little helpless.


    "Okay, let''s not dwell on this. I know you''ve been busy researching the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, so we won''t bother you," Xu Wuyue quickly said before he left with Professor Tan.<novelnext></novelnext>


    After watching the two figures disappear into the elevator, Wu Mo heaved a sigh of relief and quickly returned to theboratory.


    The familiarboratory was so quiet that Wu Mo could even hear his rapid breathing.


    With a thought, the Interspatial Ring on his finger immediately emitted a white light. The next moment, several items appeared on theputer desk in front of him.


    They were the rare materials that the officer at the award ceremony had presented to him. There were also two notebooks with slightly yellow covers.


    Many pages in the books had already rolled up. It was obvious that this item had already existed long ago, and it had seen constant use.


    Wu Mo nced at the materials.


    Even though his knowledge had increased, he still did not recognize two of the rare materials.


    ''System, please exin the use of these materials,'' he muttered in his heart, and the system''s ethereal voice immediately rang out in his mind.


    [The inquiry of the materials'' uses has beenpleted. Twenty points have been consumed. The information of the various materials is as follows:


    [1. Lava Core, Epic-grade material. It can be forged into a gem and embedded on weapons or armor to obtain additional functions.


    [2. Adamantine Stone, Epic-grade material. Can be used as the main body of a rough cast to forge weapons. It can increase the sharpness of a weapon and provide additional functions.


    [3. Frost Sparrow Plume, tail feather of an intermediate Rank 6 Frost Sparrow, Rare-grade. Can be cast into cloth-type equipment with ice-cold effects.]


    [4. Carbon sulfur, Rare-grade material, synthetic. Can greatly increase the hardness of armor, with a small chance of obtaining an additional effect. ]


    Looking at the various descriptions that appeared on the interface, Wu Mo finally understood.


    He did not expect the materials awarded by the military to be so valuable. They were much more valuable than most of the materials he had seen before.


    Most of the materials used to cast equipment were ordinary items that were contaminated with spirit energy. Only a small portion of them could be upgraded to a higher grade because they absorbed spirit energy all year round.


    However, rare materials were extremely umon in the natural world. Most of them could be used for forging Epic equipment or weapons.


    Nevertheless, many parts of the ferocious beasts'' bodies could also be used as materials.


    What surprised Wu Mo the most was that one of them was artificially synthesized.


    In the 100 years after the spirit energy awakening, technology and forging had developed. At the same time, materials could be manufactured through modern instruments, but the speed of these manufacturing instruments was very slow, so there were even fewer materials that could be circted in the market.


    Even Wu Mo had never seen such a thing before.


    However, he was now fully focused on the development of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, and he had no time to study it in depth. He turned to put it back into his Interspatial Ring.


    Those few materials had different functions, so they probably would not be of any use in the short term.


    After putting away the materials, Wu Mo set his eyes on two log books.


    These two log books looked simr to the ones he had seen in the internal reference room. They both looked like they had been through a lot.


    He was a person who had read dozens of six-star master cksmith''s personal notes, so he naturally understood the value of these two personal notes.


    In order to learn andprehend the knowledge and feelings in the logbook as soon as possible, Wu Mo did not hesitate and immediately activated the immersion effect on the Craftsman''s Gloves.

 Chapter 306 Full Of Theoretical Knowledge

    The gloves flickered with a faint light, and in the next moment, his mind immediately calmed down.


    His eyes were calm as he immediately flipped open one of the notes and read it carefully.


    Although he had read many master''s notes before, and the contents of those notes were somewhat simr, Wu Mo could learn new things with every book he read.


    Unfortunately, there were only about 20 notes in the internal reference room, and he had mastered all of them in less than two months.


    Although he had been learning through the system''s documents, those documents were as boring as instructions.


    He did not feel like he was being taught when he read the notes.


    Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, an hour had passed.


    The focused reading session also slowly ended. Wu Mo raised his head and gently rubbed the space between his eyebrows.


    The notebook before him was weathered and yellow. It contained many insights of a six-star master cksmith. In the past hour, he had only read half of its contents.


    However, in this one hour, Wu Mo learned a lot and corrected many of his previous misconceptions about forging.


    While he was reading, Wu Mo felt as if he was drinking a cup of pure wine. Not only was his body and mind happy, but he also felt satisfied with learning. As such, he felt reluctant when he had to put it back in his Interspatial Ring.


    Compared to the four rare materials, Wu Mo felt that these two notes were more precious.


    If he could master their contents, he should be able to advance to the rank of a six-star cksmith!


    Upon reading some of the notes, he had some new insights in his heart.


    After taking a sip of water, he continued to study the development of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    Now, his knowledge reserve and modeling of the theoretical stage had beenpleted.


    He already had a detailed Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear in his mind, but he did not have the appropriate equipment and rted technology to cast it.


    The knowledge required to design a Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear was too hardcore. There was a jet device, an adaptive artificial limb, as well as sensors and intelligent AI operations in various parts of the gear.


    Only after all four of them were cast could they be pieced together into a whole.


    It was precisely because of this that forging the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear was quite difficult.


    Even though Wu Mo had learned a lot of relevant knowledge from the system, he still was not absolutely confident.


    The design of the kic skeleton and jet covered a wide range of fields. Compared to the Spirit Wave Sword that Wu Mo had designed before, the research and development required this time was more hardcore.


    The knowledge and techniques that he needed to master were also more in number.


    Therefore, even after staying in theboratory for a month, Wu Mo still could not fully understand the difficulties he was facing.


    The weight of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear was no less than 60kg, and the weight of the cultivator it needed to carry was about 75kg on average. It also needed to change directions freely in the air as well as increase and decrease in speed. This meant that the jet device needed to have great power.


    However, these were not the only difficulties. The collection of data within the gear, as well as the AI''s processing speed, were all issues that he was facing.


    Even so, for Wu Mo, the most important thing to solve now was to find forging instruments with cutting-edge technology.


    The reason was, the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s model data needed to be urate to the millimeter, and the forging instrument inside the Divine-grade Forging Space did not reach this precision.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Therefore, Wu Mo could only go to other ces to find equipment that could cast the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    In addition, its production required the use of many special alloys, which entailed arge number of rare metals. He would have to ration them to find the most suitable materials, andthese materials were difficult to find in the Fifth Research Department.


    Due to the limited resources, Wu Mo had no choice but to take it seriously.


    He felt that if he wanted to sessfully forge the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, the best way was to go to arge-scale armory with advanced equipment.


    There, it would be more convenient to find materials or to use high-precision forging equipment.


    Wu Mo had been seriously considering this matter. However, he felt that before he went anywhere, he shouldpletely master the documents given by the system and improve his skills to the point where he couldplete the forging alone. Only then would it be time to make a move.


    Of course, this matter was important. If he had to leave, he would discuss it with Academician Xu.


    At this thought, Wu Mo stopped struggling.


    Instead, he continued to adjust his state of mind and stay in the Divine-grade Forging Space, continuing to familiarize himself with the obscure knowledge.


    The documents given by the system cost him thousands of points.


    They contained all the knowledge and technology required to cast the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    Moreover, the system had simplified the contents of the documents. Even Wu Mo, who never understood the relevant knowledge before, could easily understand the principles behind it.


    Anyway, ever since he received the documents, Wu Mo had been spending a lot of time studying them every day.


    However, he had only managed to understand 60% of it.


    He had already memorized the theoretical knowledge, but there were still many things about forging that he did not understand.


    With that said, there was not much time left before the year-end conference. He had to race against time and build the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear as soon as possible.


    It was a good thing that he had been patient and learning so much. He had truly gained a lot.


    Not only did his forging level improve, but it seemed that because he spent more time in the Divine-grade Forging Space every day, even his spirit energy had be much denser.


    From the time he could onlyst for less than six hours in the Divine-grade Forging Space, his spirit power could nowst him 14 hours. This alone showed how fast his spirit power was growing.


    Wu Mo focused his eyes and stopped thinking about other things. He turned to read the rest of the document seriously.


    Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, three days had passed.


    In these three days, Wu Mo had roughly read the rest of the documents. Although there were still many points of knowledge that he did not grasp, he had a general idea of the forging practice.


    It had taken Wu Mo more than a month from the initial design concept to integrating most of the required knowledge and having the confidence to n the forging.


    This was the speed at which Wu Mo was willing to spend a lot of time on learning. Plus, he was familiar with the notes of many master cksmiths, and his theoretical knowledge was rich enough.


    If it were someone else, they would not have made such progress within half a year even with the technical analysis documents provided by the system.


    After copying the finalized Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear model to his phone, Wu Mo deleted the file on hisputer without hesitation.


    The Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear was still a confidential project so far, and no more than ten people knew the specific details. In general, the Fifth Research Department''s security was incredibly high, and information would not be leaked under normal circumstances.

 Chapter 307 Lone Wolf Is Injured

    However, with his previous experience with Chu Qingyan, Wu Mo felt that it was better to be careful.


    He had spent more than a monthpleting the final model, so he could not allow others to easily steal it.


    After he deleted the document, Wu Mo looked at his phone. It was already around 11.00 am, which was still a long time before lunch.


    However, Academician Xu had told him in advance that he needed to go to the research building at 11 o''clock for the monthly meeting.


    Now that he was a senior researcher and a major, which was the same rank as Professor Liu, he had the right to attend the monthly meetings.


    He walked out of theboratory and headed to the lounge on the top floor.


    At this time, several researchers in whiteb coats were chatting in the lounge. When they saw Wu Moe out, they immediately quieted down.


    Many of them were looking at him in awe.


    Since Wu Mo had epted the rewards and medals issued by the military officials on the top floor of the research building, the atmosphere of scientific research there had be much more intensetely.


    Many young researchers were secretly trying their best.


    Wu Mo watched as the researchers returned to theboratory and continued their work.


    He did not know whether tough or cry.


    "A great body of work can''t be achieved overnight. You have to bnce work and rest."


    He reminded himself and quickly took the elevator down.


    Outside the research building, Wu Mo stepped on the dark red leaves and walked toward the location where the monthly meeting was held.


    It was alreadyte autumn, and many of the lush trees in the summer were only left with bare branches.


    The bushes on both sides of the path had no flowers in full bloom, but the mountains in the distance were still covered in a thick green.


    The cold wind whistled past, and Wu Mo shrunk his neck, subconsciously speeding up.


    It was getting closer to the end of the year, and it probably would not take long for snow to cover the ce.


    "I heard that it started snowing yesterday in Shanglin City. We should be able to have a snowball fight now."


    Wu Mo''s breath was white as he exhaled, and he could not help but smile.


    A few minutester, he passed through a Space Distortion Array and arrived at the research building.


    Wu Mo then took the elevator to the seventh floor. As soon as he walked out of the corridor, he saw Academician Xu standing at the meeting room door.


    At this time, Professor Liu and Professor Tan were also present. There were a few senior researchers in their 50s as well.


    "Wu Mo, you''re here."


    When Wu Mo approached them, Xu Wuyue immediately stepped forward to greet him. The people around him nodded at him too.


    Everyone in the Fifth Research Department knew who Wu Mo was.


    Everyone had also begun to treat him with more reverence.


    "Good morning, Academician Xu, and good morning, Professors," Wu Mo greeted them with a smile in return.


    They talked about their work, including the cooperation between the big families in the capital.


    There were also recent missions from the military.


    Although Wu Mo had not been paying attention to these things recently, he had heard about them.


    He knew that the Fifth Research Department was getting better and better, and all kinds of coborations wereing their way.


    A few minutester, everyone was present, and they entered the meeting room together.


    Just likest time, Wu Mo sat on Academician Xu''s right.


    Old Wen, Professor Liu, Professor Tan, and a few senior researchers were on the left.


    While Academician Xu did not have the highest position in the Fifth Research Department, the president had not returned since he was sent to the mega war zone a few years ago, so everything was left to Academician Xu and several professors to manage.


    As such, it was not a problem for Academician Xu to sit at the head of the table.<novelnext></novelnext>


    In the meeting room, everyone sat quietly in their seats.


    Academician Xu took out the projector pen and began to speak on the Fifth Research Department''s current development.


    There were still many strategic matters that they needed to finalize together.


    The projection screen showed the Research Department''s current status and growth.


    Everyone expressed their different opinions, and Wu Mo also put forward new ideas on the issue of mass production.


    By the time they got 10 minutes into the meeting, they had properly handled the matters that needed to be solved.


    It gave Wu Mo a deeper understanding of the Fifth Research Department.


    He thought that the meeting was about to end, and just as he wanted to talk about his idea of going to the armory...


    An ear-piercing ringtone rang out of nowhere.


    Wu Mo looked over and noticed that Academician Xu''s phone on the table was ringing.


    The rest of the people in theboratory did not raise their heads. They continued to read the documents in their hands.


    Wu Mo, on the other hand, was frowning slightly, feeling a little uneasy.


    ''Has something happened?''


    He was suspicious.


    Xu Wuyue finally noticed that his phone was ringing. He had nned to end the call immediately and call back after the meeting was over, but when he saw the caller ID, he promptly picked up the call with a serious face.


    "Hello, Sir. What can I do for you?"


    When the rest saw Academician Xu''s serious expression, they gradually quieted down.


    The entire meeting room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.


    "Okay, Sir. I understand."


    After a while, Xu Wuyue hung up the phone and frowned.


    "Wu Yue, what happened?"


    Professor Liu, who was standing at the side, was a little confused. What on earth had happened to make the military leader personally give him a call?


    Everyone looked at Academician Xu, but they did not say anything.


    "Lone Wolf is injured and he''s been hospitalized. This time, his injury is incredibly serious, and his right leg has been amputated! The higher-ups have arranged for us to forge a few pieces of equipment that can help support his bones. Now that a captain of the Special Forces is unable to fight, we need to find someone to rece him in the meantime!"


    Xu Wuyue''s voice was heavy as he emphasized each word.


    When the people around him heard the news, they were shocked.


    Who was Lone Wolf? He was a peak six-star cultivator.


    He was one of the Special Forces'' trump cards. His strength was infinitely close to the seven-star rank. What on earth had happened to cause Lone Wolf to suffer such a heavy injury?


    "What happened? How did he suddenly get so seriously injured?"


    In the meeting room, Professor Liu was the first to ask a question. He had a serious expression and many questions on his mind.


    "I''m not too sure either. I only heard that after he finished his security detail at the exhibition, he went on a secret mission. He might have encountered a powerful beast and gotten seriously injured!"


    Xu Wuyue shook his head helplessly and sighed in his heart.


    Although Lone Wolf was not the strongest in the Nine Provinces, his reputation in White River was not weak.


    Even though most people did not even know what Lone Wolf looked like, most people in any organization under the military would have heard of his reputation.


    However, they did not expect the powerful leader, Lone Wolf, who had multiple amazing achievements, would actually end up in such a situation.


    "What kind of ferocious beast could be so powerful to seriously injure Lone Wolf? It had to have been at least at the peak of Rank 6!"

 Chapter 308 Collaboration, Armory No. 64

    Professor Tan frowned and continued, "But as far as I know, the Eastern Grand Station District is the only ce in White River with peak Rank 6 beasts!"


    "There''s something strange about this. Even if Captain Lone Wolf did encounter a peak Rank 6 beast and was no match for it, he should have no problem escaping. How did things end up like this?"


    Everyone chimed in, their words filled with anguish.


    "s, even though the cultivators on the front line are incredibly strong, they can''t avoid the risk of injury or even death. Every year, many cultivators die on missions or from cleaning up the fierce beasts in the war zones. Thanks to their sacrifice, we have peace in the White River province."


    Old Wen lowered his gaze, and the frown lines on his face increased. It was obvious that he was feeling heavy-hearted at the moment.


    Wu Mo was touched by everyone''s words.


    The White River province was vast and rich in resources. It had two small battlefields and onerge station. Many cultivators would rush to the battlefields after a few years of training.


    How many people would be able to return to their hometown in glory after losing their heads and spilling their blood?


    Everyone respected the cultivators who sustained injuries or lost their lives, but the families of the dead and the injured soldiers only felt pain in their hearts.


    Wu Mo was a little upset at the thought, but at the same time, he made up his mind.


    They had to spread the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear. Even if they could not mass produce it, they had to first help a small portion of the cultivators who charged into battle!


    He also had to speed up his work.


    As he pondered it, Lone Wolf''s well-defined and determined-looking face immediately appeared in his mind.


    Lone Wolf was apetitive person and a hard worker, never showing his weak side to others.


    Now that he was in such a situation, Meng Chao wondered if he could ept it.


    "Hu!"


    Wu Mo took a deep breath and nned to discuss the matter with Academician Xu immediately. He had to put the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear on the agenda. If he did not forge it soon, he would not be able to rest easy.


    However, just as he was about to stand up and speak, Academician Xu spoke again.


    "By the way, there''s something I forgot to tell everyone. The demand for the Invisibility Armor and Spirit Wave Sword has been too high for the past week. Our two workshops can''t meet the production requirements. So, our higher-ups have pulled some strings, and we''ll finally coborate with Military Armory No. 64.


    Academician Xu looked at everyone and continued, "Armory No. 64 is also one of the organizations under the military''s jurisdiction, but their focus is different from the Fifth Research Department''s. The military armory focuses more on the mass production and improvement of equipment, while its research and development area is weaker.


    "Therefore, Armory No. 64 has many modern facilities that are rarely seen. This armory provided the equipment that was previously disyed at the exhibition."


    After hearing Academician Xu''s introduction, the people around him nodded.


    The military armory''s responsibility was different from theirs. The Research Department was mainly responsible for the research and development of equipment, and there were only two workshops for mass production. They were only expanded because of the two excellent pieces of equipment that Wu Mo had forged. The Research Department was not responsible for the mass production of equipment, in the first ce.


    Inparison, the military armory was much more professional in the field of mass production.


    Many of the senior researchers had visited simr military armories before, and the modern facilities there were simply shocking.


    If the Fifth Research Department could coborate with Military Armory No. 64, future mass production work would definitely not be a problem.


    "That''s a good thing. Our Research Department isn''t very good at mass production. Even if we set up a research team at thest minute, it''ll be difficult to speed things up."


    "Yeah, if we work with the military armory, mass production will no longer be a problem."


    A few senior researchers on the side immediately spoke with joy.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Despite receiving help from old Wen and the military leaders, the Research Department''s main job was not to mass produce equipment. Even if they had managed to achieve a bnce between supply and demand, it was still too much pressure for the entire Research Department.


    Everyone felt that this was indeed good news, but when they turned to look at Academician Xu, they realized that he had a grave expression on his face.


    "It''s a good thing to coborate with the military armory, but they don''t know much about the Invisibility Armor and Spirit Wave Sword''s technology. So, we need to send at least one person who''s familiar with the two items to the military armory for quality control.


    "After all, the leaders of the Military Department are watching. If there''s a problem, the Fifth Research Department''s collective honor will be damaged."


    Xu Wuyue raised his head and looked at the people around the conference table.


    Several senior researchers with white sideburns lowered their heads with a guilty look.


    Seeing this, Wu Mo could not help but feel surprised.


    After all, Armory No. 64 had many pieces of equipment that utilized thetest technology. If one could work there, one would definitely gain a lot of new knowledge.


    Yet, the elders who attended the monthly meeting looked like students who were afraid of being called out by their teacher. They did not have any confidence.


    However, Wu Mo had only been in the Fifth Research Department for a little over half a year, so he had no idea about the situation within Armory No. 64.


    Several senior researchers who were at the early-stage of six stars were unwilling to go to the armory because the staff in the armory had deep, decades-long knowledge of forging.


    Their theoretical knowledge and even forging skills were extremely strong, and most of them were old folks with rich work experience.


    In their eyes, the senior researchers were just schrs in theboratory who talked a good game on paper.


    In addition, those old men had bad tempers. If those who went there did something wrong, they would bebeled as trash.


    Even though these old men were calm people, it was still hard for them to ept being called trash in front of everyone. The frustration in their hearts made most of them who had been to Armory No. 64 resist that ce from the bottom of their hearts.


    "Cough cough... Armory No. 64 has decades of experience in mass production. It would be beneficial for everyone if they could learn from it for a few months. Why wouldn''t anyone want to go?"


    Professor Liu, who was sitting on the side, saw that everyone was silent, so he quickly spoke.


    However, everyone except Wu Mo knew something about Armory No. 64. They would not change their minds just because of what Professor Liu said.


    Just as the scene froze, Wu Mo raised his hand.


    The few elders around him were the first to react with surprise.


    Wu Mo was a newbie after all. If he had known even a little about the armory, he would not have raised his hand so decisively.


    The elders sighed in their hearts. Professor Liu, who had spoken earlier, had a strange expression on his face when he saw this.


    ''Oh, no, my words didn''t move this group of old foxes. Instead, they piqued Wu Mo''s curiosity.''


    He was speechless, and he simultaneously regretted saying those words.


    Although Wu Mo had an academic spirit that was not afraid of hardship, he was still too young. Ultimately, his way of dealing with people was not as smooth as those senior researchers.


    If the old men in the armory criticized him, he wondered if Wu Mo would be able to take it.


    Professor Liu hesitated. He looked at Xu Wuyue, hoping that Wu Mo would give up on the idea.


    However, he did not expect old Wen to speak first.

 Chapter 309 Setting Off To The Armory

    "Wu Mo, you have a heavy responsibility now. It''s not suitable for you to go to a ce like the armory. I think it''s better to leave this task to someone else."


    Old Wen, who was seated at the side, immediately spoke up to dissuade Wu Mo. He did not want Wu Mo''s confidence to be crushed just because of a trip to the armory. After all, he was still young. Even if he had knowledge on rich technology, he was definitely not as good as those old men who had been working in the armory all year round.


    If there was a problem, he would get into trouble.


    It would have been fine if it were anyone else, but at least these senior researchers were already over 50 years old. They would not have a problem with their confidence because of one or two setbacks.


    However, Wu Mo was different. He was only a young man in his 20s, and he had not suffered any major setbacks in the Fifth Research Department for more than half a year.


    Old Wen was worried that Wu Mo would not be able to ept the situation and cause problems.


    Obviously, Xu Wuyue had the same idea as old Wen.


    Although the old fogeys from the armory knew a lot about forging, they had short tempers and were picky as well as hard to serve. Ordinary people, much less Wu Mo, really could not stand them.


    Seeing that both old Wen and Academician Xu were against him going to the armory, Wu Mo stood up immediately and said with a serious face, "Academician Xu, old Wen, I know that you''re all concerned about me, but I have no choice but to go this time."


    "Firstly, I''m the inventor of the Invisibility Armor and the Spirit Wave Sword. I''m very familiar with these two pieces of equipment, so it''s my duty to provide a guide on their use.


    Wu Mo''s tone was sincere, but his attitude was a little tough.


    Secondly, there were some technical difficulties in the research and development of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear. I need the cutting-edge modern instruments in the armory to help me castmy new gear.


    "Therefore, I applied to visit Armory No. 64 to check the quality of its mass production."


    Wu Mo sat down after he finished speaking.


    He could see that several senior researchers across the table were looking at him with admiration. It seemed that his move had benefited them.


    "Well... since you''ve already made up your mind, I won''t try to persuade you anymore. You''ll be the armory''s quality supervisor from now on."


    Xu Wuyue looked at Wu Mo with a deep gaze. Seeing that Wu Mo had made up his mind, he no longer tried to persuade him and agreed.


    Old Wen sighed as well. He opened his mouth but did not say anything.


    "You guys do your own jobs and put more effort into the workshops'' production. The others do their own jobs and report to me if anything happens. That''s it for this monthly meeting. Dismissed!"


    Xu Wuyue selected a few people and then announced the end of the meeting.


    The few elders stood up one after another and left the meeting room with looks of relief.


    Just as Wu Mo was about to leave, Academician Xu stopped him.


    "Academician Xu, is there anything else you want me to do?"


    Wu Mo knew that Academician Xu was worried about him, so he immediately asked.


    "Sigh, I was nning to arrange for the head of the research and development team, He Zhen, to go. I never thought that you''d be getting there first."


    Academician Xu smiled helplessly and continued, "The armory isn''t an ordinary organization. The people there have excellent forging skills. Even if you''re extremely strong among your peers, those old men might still look down on you.


    "Anyway, be careful when you go to the armory. Try not to let those old guys get a hold of you."


    When Wu Mo heard Academician Xu''s words, he was a little stunned.


    The armory was a strategic organization, so it should not be as dangerous as the academician said.<novelnext></novelnext>


    However, he knew that Academician Xu''s words were for his own good, so he did not say anything and nodded.


    After a while, old Wen also walked up to him and said with a face full of reluctance, "When you get to the armory, you''ll have to calm down. Your position will be the same as those workers. There''s no hierarchy. Even if you get criticized, don''t take it to heart, understand?"


    "If those old fogeys really do something outrageous, inform me immediately. It''s only for two months, it''ll pass in a sh."


    Old Wen''s body was slightly hunched, and he appeared reluctant to part with Wu Mo. He even reached out to smooth the wrinkles on Wu Mo''s sleeves.


    It was as if he could not bear to part with his flesh and blood.


    Professor Tan and Professor Liu, who were standing next to the conference table, exchanged looks. Wu Mo''s speech and actions at the conference were beyond their expectations.


    He had already chosen a candidate for the position, not expecting to rece him in the end.


    The point was, this was not a good job. If Wu Mo went, he would only be a schr who met a soldier. In the hands of those old men, he would not have the upper hand at all.


    However, the matter had been concluded with Wu Mo''s insistence, they could not say anything more.


    After a while, Wu Mo separated from the others at the research building. They had already discussed that a military vehicle would be arranged to pick them up in a week.


    Now, Wu Mo already had a lead on the modern cutting-edge instruments needed to cast the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear. He did not need to worry about anything else. What he needed to do next was learn more about the theoretical knowledge and techniques.


    Once he arrived at the armory, he could devote himself to the research and development of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear. As for the quality control of the mass-produced equipment, Wu Mo did not find any issue with it at all.


    As he thought about it, Wu Mo could not help but speed up and return to the familiarboratory.


    For the next week, Wu Mo stayed in theboratory and never went back to the vi.


    In thest few days, he studied the documents given by the system via rote memorization. In addition, he also memorized the two master cksmith''s notes.


    A few days ago, his sess rate in developing the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear would have only been 75%.


    However, after a week of reading books, his casting sess rate had reached more than 90%.


    From the use of the materials to the final step of strengthening, he had already memorized everything by heart. If nothing else happened along the way, it would not even take a month toplete the forging.


    Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, a week had passed.


    After having breakfast in the cafeteria, Wu Mo left the Fifth Research Department in a military vehicle at 10.00 am.


    Two cultivators at the peak of five stars were manning the vehicle.


    The two cultivators were around 40 years old and quite talkative. On the way, Wu Mo did not feel bored.


    He was just a little excited.


    After all, the armory was a strategic organization that was deeply tied to the major battlefields.


    Although their research and development capabilities were not as good as the Research Department''s, their ability to forge equipment was among the best in the entire White River province.


    He would be staying in the armory for two months. During this time, he could use the convenience of his position to consult the staff.


    After all, the equipment that was mass-produced and forged in the armory was of Epic grade and above. It was not easy being a cksmith there. He would definitely be able to learn a lot.

 Chapter 310 Visiting Lone Wolf

    However, before he rushed to the armory, Wu Mo had to go to Renhe Medical Center in Jingdu.


    When the two cultivators who were escorting him heard Wu Mo''s request, they agreed very quickly and drove the military vehicle toward the medical center.


    Looking at the scenery outside the window, Wu Mo felt a little emotional.


    Lone Wolf''s right leg was seriously injured. He did not know if he would ever recover from this.


    For a Special Forces captain with a strong sense of self-esteem, losing a leg meant that hisbat ability would be greatly reduced. He would not even regain a tenth of his peak mobility and flexibility.


    As such, even though Lone Wolf had reached the peak of the six-star rank, his skills were no longer as good as that of ordinary five-star cultivators.


    This meant that Lone Wolf would have to bid farewell to the battlefield forever.


    That might not be much for ordinary soldiers.


    However, like Bald Eagle, Lone Wolf was an elite trained by the federal government. He had long made the decision to dedicate his life to the country.


    Therefore, the current situation would definitely be a huge blow to Lone Wolf''s heart.


    The thoughts in Wu Mo''s mind continued to surge, and at the same time, his desire to sessfully forge the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear grew.


    If only he managed to forge the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear earlier, then Lone Wolf would not be in his current predicament!


    Wu Mo reached Renhe Medical Center with that on his mind.


    Renhe Medical Center was located in the most prosperous area of the capital''s Baihe District. It covered an area of nearly 1.2 million square meters and was known as one of the top hospitals in the White River province.


    Pushing open the hospital door, Wu Mo took out his phone and dialed Bald Eagle''s number. After learning of the specific ward, he immediately rushed in the Inpatient Department''s direction.


    The two cultivators followed closely behind, still seriously carrying out their task of protecting Wu Mo.


    About three minutester, Wu Mo passed through several buildings and finally took the elevator to the floor where Lone Wolf''s ward was.


    After Wu Mo walked out of the elevator, he went straight to Lone Wolf''s ward. However, before he could knock on the door, he met Bald Eagle who had just stepped out of the ward!


    Bald Eagle looked a little haggard, and his eyes were slightly red. Although he still had a smile on his face, his expression was filled with sorrow.


    "Wu Mo, you''re here!"


    The moment he saw Wu Mo, Bald Eagle''s condition improved slightly, but he was still very depressed.


    "Lone Wolf, he... How is he doing?" Wu Mo immediately asked with concern.


    "Sigh, he''s in a very bad state right now. He''s already had amputation surgery, and in two days, they''ll install the artificial limb. He''ll get by, but the doctor said that he can''t do intense exercises anymore.


    "To him, it''s like being a boxer without his fists, so you have to be careful when you go in. Don''t mention anything depressing." Bald Eagle patted Wu Mo''s shoulder and said in a heavy tone.


    Hearing this, Wu Mo felt a little discouraged. He responded, pushed the door open, and walked in with Bald Eagle.


    The two cultivators waited outside the door.


    Wu Mo pushed open the ward door, which reeked of alcohol, and saw Lone Wolf lying on a white bed.


    The ward was cozy, and the colors were all warm enough to make a person happy. The room was also fully equipped with all kinds of furniture. It was not inferior to the master bedroom in his vi over at the Research Department.


    It had only been a while since theyst met, but Lone Wolf looked a lot more haggard. His face was a little pale, and he was leaning on the bed at the moment, looking out of the window in a daze.


    When the door opened, Lone Wolf subconsciously turned his head to look. When he discovered that it was Wu Mo, his expression instantly changed.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Haha, I thought Bald Eagle was trying to bother me again. I didn''t expect it to be you. What a rare guest. Please have a seat."


    Lone Wolf revealed a happy smile and spoke in a cheerful voice. There was no trace of his previous wooden demeanor.


    Wu Mo immediately walked up to the bed and activated his Interspatial Ring with his spirit power. The next moment, a fruit basket and two gift boxes appeared on the table.


    "It''s just a small token. I didn''t know if you would like it, but I made the decision to buy it," he quickly said as he sat in the chair by the bed.


    "Wu Mo, you''re too kind. You don''t have to treat me like a patient. I''m in good health now."


    After he said that, Lone Wolf tried to use his spirit energy.


    "No... There''s no need for that. I know you''re fine."


    Wu Mo gently stopped him.


    "You don''t have to say anything tofort me. I''m fine now. After all, I''m in the Special Forces and it''s hard having to carry out missions every day. Now that I can finally rest, I''m ecstatic. Why would I be depressed?


    "By the way, tell me how you''ve been. Are you researching new equipment again?"


    Lone Wolf changed the subject and asked in a rxed tone. At the same time, he avoided Wu Mo''s mention of the sensitive issue in his heart.


    "New research is in progress, but it''ll take at least a month before the final product is ready. But I can reveal in advance that the equipment this time is armor that can provide full-body protection."


    Wu Mo revealed a bit of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s effect, but because of the security measures in ce, he did not say much.


    "Mm... That sounds like a very powerful piece of equipment. Wu Mo, you are indeed a genius in the field of research. In the future, when this piece of equipment is released, you have to let me see it."


    Lone Wolf instantly showed interest and gave him a thumbs up.


    However, Wu Mo''s sharp senses discovered that there was a deep unwillingness hidden in his eyes.


    In the past, Lone Wolf could visit Wu Mo and watch him demonstrate equipment at any time, being who he was. But now, with his current state, Lone Wolf would have to retire soon.


    Although he could enjoy a great material life and everyone''s respect, he would be cut off from the power he used to have and most of his connections.


    Retirement meant bing an ordinary person. He could not even enter the Research Department, let alone see Wu Mo''stest equipment.


    Thinking of this, Wu Mo immediately revealed a smile.


    "Don''t worry, you''ll definitely have the chance. But before that, I''d like to ask, what are your ns for the future?"


    ...


    Lone Wolf was silent for a few seconds. Then, he turned to look at Wu Mo and casually said, "After I retire, I''ll definitely enjoy my life. No one wants to fight on the battlefield every day. Who knows when I''ll be injured or even killed?


    "I''m lucky that I can retire so soon. I''m still young enough to go around and see the beautiful rivers and mountains."


    Lone Wolf appeared excited as he spoke. It was as if he really looked forward to his future life.


    However, Bald Eagle''s eyes turned red when he heard what Lone Wolf said.


    He was also a captain of the Special Forces, so he knew what Lone Wolf truly wanted.


    It definitely was not a vacation to enjoy a good life.

 Chapter 311 Is There Still A Chance?

    Fighting, protecting the country, and protecting the lives of people was their life''s mission.


    However, Lone Wolf did not say a word about this. He was obviously lying!


    In this situation, forget Lone Wolf, who had a strong nature and high self-esteem, even he, Bald Eagle, would be overwhelmed by such difficulties.


    Therefore, he knew that Lone Wolf''s carefree and nonchnt attitude before the both of them was just an act.


    The more he acted like he did not care and felt that it did not matter, the more pain he felt inside.


    The ward was silent, and Bald Eagle''s expression was full of guilt.


    However, Wu Mo started tough as he sat by the bed.


    "Well said, but in my opinion, this is an opportunity for you."


    Wu Mo had a smile on his face, as though he hadpletely forgotten what Bald Eagle had told him before he entered the ward. He had crossed the line.


    Bald Eagle was surprised, and his expression became unpleasant. Yet, Wu Mo continued as if he did not notice anything. "Before your leg was injured, I could already tell that your strength was about the same as Bald Eagle''s. It was also possible that you might not have been able to defeat him.


    "But now, it looks like that''s not necessarily the case."


    Wu Mo spoke directly without any hesitation.


    As soon as he finished speaking, Bald Eagle inserted himself with a dissatisfied expression/ "That''s enough!"


    Wu Mo was pouring salt on Lone Wolf''s wound with his words.


    Hence, Bald Eagle was a little angry. Was Wu Mo not being too straightforward? Was he going to make fun of Lone Wolf at such a time?


    Lone Wolf was seriously injured, and he had recently undergone amputation surgery, so how could he take such a shock?


    He thought about it and was about to exin to Lone Wolf when Wu Mo, who was sitting by the bed, suddenly had a serious look on his face.


    "I''m here to ask you one thing. Do you want to be stronger? Do you want to return to the Special Forces and the battlefield?"


    Wu Mo''s tone was extremely serious, and he stared sharply into Lone Wolf''s eyes.


    Feeling the change in his attitude and eyes, Lone Wolf''s heart stirred.


    He had been lying in Renhe Medical Center for seven days. He wanted to return to the Special Forces andplete the mission to protect the country with the soldiers he was familiar with.


    However, in his current condition, he could no longer stand up. Even if he was equipped with an artificial limb in the future, he would definitely not be able to disy his original strength.


    Although Wu Mo''s question moved him and disappointed him slightly, when he thought about the injuries that even Renhe Medical Center could not treat, he believed that Wu Mo could not do anything.


    At this thought, Lone Wolf''s pale face suddenly revealed a bitter smile, " I... I don''t care anymore; this is good for me. As for the battlefield and the endless missions, I''m already tired of them.


    "Besides, I''ve solved hundreds of big and small cases for the government during my service. I''ve experienced the reputation and power that I deserved. It''s time for me to retire and enjoy life now. Isn''t this good?"


    After saying that, Lone Wolf turned his head and looked out the window in a daze.


    His eyes were red, and his hands were clenched tightly, but he did not make any of it obvious.


    Seeing that Lone Wolf was still in denial, Wu Mo did not say anything more and turned around to leave.


    Just as he was about to leave the ward, he heard Lone Wolf''s slightly muffled voice behind him.


    "Is... Is there still a chance?"


    Upon hearing Lone Wolf''s words, Wu Mo immediately halted and turned around to look at him with a serious face.


    "If I wasn''t confident, I wouldn''t have mentioned it. Come to Armory No. 64 in a month''s time. I''ll give you a surprise!"<novelnext></novelnext>


    Following that, Wu Mo left without looking back.


    Now that Lone Wolf had broken his leg, it would not be long before he was dismissed.


    He had to seize the opportunity and forge the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear before the letter of condolence came from the military leaders. That way, Lone Wolf could return to his peak!


    Wu Mo quickened his steps, and the two cultivators standing outside the door swiftly followed.


    They looked at Wu Mo with respect and surprise.


    The cultivators did not expect a researcher to have such a close rtionship with a big shot like Bald Eagle. They seemed to be on good terms.


    After the three of them left Renhe Medical Center, Wu Mo returned to the military vehicle and continued his journey.


    About two hourster, they finally left the capital''s Xicheng District and arrived at the Baihe District.


    Dozens of minutes passed, and the military vehicle finally stopped on a road with a lot of traffic.


    There were modern buildings with all kinds of office buildings andmercial buildings on one side of the road, but a white wall that was several meters tall on the other side.


    Everything behind it was blocked. Only the red words, "Military Armory No. 64," could be clearly seen on the door.


    "Major Wu, we''ve arrived at the armory," the cultivators sitting on guard in the front row said on cue.


    Wu Mo opened his eyes and followed the two of them to the armory''s heavily-guarded gate.


    Wu Mo and the two cultivators showed their documents before they sessfully walked in.


    After walking through the gate, many buildings appeared around them. They were all factories simr to the Fifth Research Department''s workshops.


    There were also trucks carrying materials passing by on the open square. The busy scene was very different from the Research Department''s style.


    Although the scenery here was not as pleasant as that at the Fifth Research Department, it gave him a sense of security.


    Wu Mo was about to look around, but before he could take a few steps, he saw two men and a woman walking toward him.


    The one in the lead was an old man in his 60s. His skin was a little yellow, and he was wearing presbyopic sses. His hair was a little sparse, and he was wearing a gray robe, but he gave off a schrly aura.


    Next to the old man were two younger people, a man and a woman. The man was about 40 years old, and the woman looked to be in her early 30s. The two seemed to be partners.


    "Ahem... I heard that the Fifth Research Department would send someone here today. Why is it a young boy?"


    The old man in gray clothes immediately walked forward and sized Wu Mo up, speaking with dissatisfaction.


    "He''s hairless and ipetent. The Invisibility Armor and Spirit Wave Sword are important strategic equipment. They should''ve at least sent Professor Liu or Professor Tan!"


    The old man curled his lips and shook his head.


    The two people on his left and right also spoke soon after.


    "Elder Huang, this young man is Wu Mo. He''s the one who developed the two pieces of equipment you just mentioned. He''s the most suitable person toe."


    "Yeah, I heard that this young man had the best score at the exhibition two weeks ago. He''s an important talent."


    Hearing their introduction, Elder Huang had a sudden look of realization.


    "Oh... so, you''re the one who''s been in the limelight all this time. Hmm... The Invisibility Armor andser sword are barely usable, yet they''re too fancy."


    Seeing how reluctant the old man seemed, Wu Mo was suddenly a little speechless.


    ",

 Chapter 312 The Shocking Research Facility

    The Invisibility Armor and Spirit Wave Sword were era-defining works that surpassed technological limitations. Wu Mo had also been rewarded handsomely for them, and even his military rank had risen from that of a soldier to a major.


    However, this equipment, which even the military leaders valued, was gaudy to Elder Huang.


    How could Wu Mo not be angry?


    Just as he was about to open his mouth to exin, Elder Huang revealed an impatient expression before him. "Enough. You don''t have to exin. I don''t have that much time to waste on you.


    "Since you''re here to review the quality of our mass production process,e with me. I''ll assign you a room first."


    After Elder Huang finished speaking, he walked back straight away.


    The two people on his left and right smiled kindly at Wu Mo and followed him closely.


    Although Wu Mo was a little depressed, the quality of their mass production was rted to the Fifth Research Department''s interests and reputation. Even if he was a little dissatisfied, he could not neglect his work.


    After all, he still needed to use the modern equipment in the armory to create the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    Thinking of this, Wu Mo chased after the rest.


    Armory No. 64 upied arge area. Its factories were scattered all over the ce, and there were a few high-rise buildings. There were also trucks filled with materials passing by from time to time, making it appear extremely prosperous.


    Wu Mo kept looking around the armory as he trailed after Elder Huang.


    Right then, he was surprised to find that the old man, whom the couple in front of him addressed as Elder Huang, had unfathomable spirit power that even he could not detect.


    Even the man and woman beside Elder Huang had boundless spirit power. A rough estimate showed that they were at least early six-star cksmiths.


    This sudden discovery caused Wu Mo to look at Elder Huang in a different light. There was now a hint of respect in his eyes.


    After a while, the four of them arrived at arge factory.


    "This is where you''ll be working in the future. We''ll bring you in to familiarize you with everything first. After that, we''ll assign you tasks and a resting ce." Elder Huang looked at Wu Mo and exined the following process.


    Wu Mo would naturally not refuse the opportunity to visit the modern mass-production factory. He immediately followed Elder Huang and two other people inside.


    The moment they opened the factory''s door, the inside opened up. Bright light shone down from the ceiling, illuminating everything without a speck of dust.


    The factory was huge, and it could amodate nearly 1,000 staff members.


    The various departments within were well-arranged, and all kinds of modern facilities that Wu Mo had never seen before appeared before him, making his eyes spin!


    Meanwhile, the workers in the factory were producing equipment in an orderly manner.


    With the help of cutting-edge equipment, a production line that originally required nine workstations could operate safely with only five people.


    Most of the people working in the factory were young men, but there were one or two old men with white hair in each department. Although they were far away, it was impossible to detect their spirit power.


    However, just by looking at their appearance and the respect of the workers around them, one could tell that they were the soul of the department.


    As Wu Mo observed the modern factory before him and the workers'' orderly working state, he could not help but sigh.


    The workshops in the Fifth Research Department paled inparison to the factory in Armory No. 64.


    It seemed that he had made the right decision to take on this job and visit the armory!


    "Ahem ahem... In two days, the eight production lines in the factory will fully produce the Invisibility Armor and Spirit Wave Sword. If the workers encounter any problems or technical difficulties, you will be responsible for them.


    "If you''re done with the tour,e with me to get your room."


    After Elder Huang finished speaking, he left without looking back. He had no intention of asking Wu Mo for his opinion.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Although Wu Mo was extremely curious about the factory, this was obviously not the time, so he left the factory with Elder Huang.


    A few turnster, the group arrived at the armory''s core unit, the research and development nt.


    The middle-aged man standing next to Elder Huang immediately introduced it. "You''ve just arrived and aren''t familiar with this ce, so let me tell you about it.


    "The ce we''re about to enter is called the research facility. As the name implies, it''s a ce where we improve and forge equipment."


    Hearing the man''s words, Wu Mo subconsciously raised his head and looked at the building in front of him. It had a different architectural style from the surrounding factories.


    The middle-aged man spoke with pride when he saw the change in Wu Mo''s expression.


    "Although our research technology is slightly behind that of the Research Department, with the help of modern technology, much of the equipment invented by our armory is also being used in the war zone on arge scale.


    "The research facility has a lot of space and numerous instruments. It''s not a problem to forge Legendary equipment."


    Wu Mo nodded, appearing surprised. "As expected of the armory that supplies equipment and resources to the various battlefields. I never thought it would be so generous, though!"


    Hearing Wu Mo''s words, the woman beside himughed and said, "It''s still too early to be impressed. You''ll be even more surprised when we go in."


    The woman smiled proudly and looked at Wu Mo with confidence.


    "Ahem, alright, let''s not waste any more time. Let''s go in," Elder Huang immediately urged when he saw the three of them slow down.


    Wu Mo quickened his pace. At the same time, his curiosity was piqued. He wanted to see how far Armory No. 64 had developed in the field of forging.


    The research facility''s exterior was guarded by cultivators with extraordinary strength. There were also all kinds of detection devices inside to ensure that no unrted people were allowed within.


    After checking his ID and going through the machine''s test, Wu Mo sessfully passed the checkpoint and entered the research facility.


    The four of them passed through a Misty Array that blocked their vision and immediately appeared in the research facility.


    Swish!


    Before he could open his eyes, Wu Mo heard a loud jet of air.


    He quickly opened his eyes, but in the next second, he was shocked by the scene that unfolded before him.


    From the outside, the research facility only looked like a magnificent factory that was less than 10 meters tall.


    However, its internal structure was shocking.


    One should note that even the prosperous Fifth Research Department only had smallboratories.


    Aside from workbench furnaces, there were at most casting instruments.


    These sets of instruments took up less than 20 square meters.


    However, there were several huge instruments that were seven to eight meters tall in the research facility!


    Moreover, the interior of the research facility appeared to be more than twice asrge as it did on the outside.


    There were all kinds of strange instruments, some of which Wu Mo had seen before, and some of which had appeared in exhibitions.


    However, Wu Mo did not know what the effects of most of the instruments were.


    This simply refreshed his views.

 Chapter 313 Proper Arrangements

    Various instruments upied most of the space around the research facility, and there was a circr hole with a diameter of several dozen meters in the middle of the facility. Numerous pipes extended from the ground and connected to various instruments.


    It looked like the central control system.


    "It turns out that steam is actually driving such a huge instrument!"


    Looking at the instruments all around him and the staff members who were constantly adjusting the values of the major instruments, Wu Mo was shocked.


    Aside from the central control console that provided power to the various instruments, the other instruments were arranged in square arrays at the research facility''s core.


    However, some of the instruments surrounded the arrays, and it seemed that only those with high authority could use them.


    In addition, there was also a rest area in the research facility. After all, forging was not something that could bepleted in a day or two. When one was tired from work, they could go to the rest area to replenish their energy.


    Not far from the rest area, there were rows of offices for learning.


    Wu Mo followed the three of them to the Information Management Office, and it did not take long for Wu Mo to be assigned an office.


    Thest task was dormitory allocation. Elder Huang seemed to be in a hurry. He did not give Wu Mo any time to collect himself. He left the array''s field of vision and went straight to the dormitory building.


    Even though Wu Mo felt a little indignant, he still left the ce reluctantly.


    About five minutester, Wu Mo was assigned a dormitory.


    Armory No. 64 was a state-owned enterprise, unlike the electronics factories in the city, where the capitalists would stuff 10 people into a room.


    Wu Mo would live in a single dormitory as he wished.


    He felt extremely satisfied and he observed the single dormitory, which was dozens of square meters in size and warmly decorated.


    Although this ce was not as good as the vi, Wu Mo did not have any high demands for such things, so he quickly adapted.


    "Familiarize yourself with the environment and facilities in the armory for the next two days, and take a look at the excellent design drafts for this month. You can start work in two days."


    Seeing how impatient Elder Huang was, Wu Mo''s heart immediately became a little turbulent, but he still agreed with a serious face.


    "Oh, right, Elder Huang, can I do some other research during my free time at the armory?"


    After he posed the question, he immediately looked at Elder Huang to see his reaction.


    At the end of the day, he had traveled to the armory to forge the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear. If he could not use the high-tech instruments in the research facility outside of work, it would be equivalent to Wu Mo making 100 pointless trips.


    Hence, he had been very concerned about this matter from the beginning.


    Elder Huang had originally nned to leave, but after he heard Wu Mo''s question, a look of pride immediately appeared on his face.


    He smiled. "We don''t have much in this armory, but we have the most materials and modern equipment. As long as it doesn''t vite the rules, you can use the equipment in the research and development nt as you please."


    Once Wu Mo got a definite answer, he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart and a smile of anticipation appeared on his face.


    Seeing the change in Wu Mo''s expression, the man and woman standing next to Elder Huang immediately looked at each other with curiosity.


    Did this kid visit Armory No. 64 harboring different intentions?


    The two of them had some doubts in their hearts, but they quickly threw them to the back of their minds.


    Supervising the quality of the mass-produced equipment alone would already consume plenty of energy. Even if Wu Mo could develop other projects during his time, they would not be worth mentioning.


    They were curious, but they did not ask.


    However, Elder Huang did not consider this. He promptly asked in confusion, "What ideas do you have? What do you n on developing?"


    Wu Mo did not hide anything as he faced Elder Huang''s question, immediately telling him his research direction.


    "I''m nning to forge an exoskeleton armor."<novelnext></novelnext>


    Wu Mo''s answer made the two people standing behind elder Huang freeze slightly.


    However, Elder Huang shook his head and responded with disappointment, "Tsk, I was wondering what it was. I didn''t expect it to be another gaudy thing. This old man has no interest in such things. You can y on your own.


    "Alright, the procedure is done. I''ll take my leave first. You can make your own arrangements for the time being. If there''s anything you don''t understand, you can contact Wei Ge."


    Seeing that everything had been settled, Elder Huang did not stay any longer and turned to leave the dormitory building.


    Soon, the sound of his footsteps disappeared. At this moment, the man and woman standing at the door exchanged looks. Then, the man called Wei Ge swiftly walked forward with a smile.


    "Elder Huang has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. He didn''t mean to target you. After all, at his age, his temper is more or less strange. I hope you won''t pay him much mind." Wei Ge smiled as he exined.


    At the same time, he extended his right hand to Wu Mo.


    "It''s okay, I understand."


    Shaking Wei Ge''s hand, Wu Mo revealed a kind smile in return.


    However, Wu Mo mumbled in his heart, ''There are old people in the Fifth Research Department too; Professor Liu, Academician Xu, and Old Wen. They''re just as long-winded as him.''


    "This is my phone number. You can contact me if you need anything in the future."


    After saving Wei Ge''s phone number, Wu Mo chatted with him for a while and roughly understood the history of Armory No. 64''s construction.


    Although there was a big age gap between the two, they had a good chat.


    The young woman urged them repeatedly, and their chat finally came to an end.


    After sending the two off, Wu Mo pushed open the door and returned to his single dormitory.


    Looking at the warm white light on the ceiling, he took off his coat andy on the bed.


    The small bed reminded Wu Mo of his school days.


    Back when he was studying, he lived in a single dormitory that was less than 20 square meters too.


    Thoughts flew in his mind as he slowly closed his eyes. The images that were deeply etched in his mind were like slides, skipping over one by one.


    "I wonder how Jiang Mengyao is doing now. She should have reached the five-star rank.


    "It''s almost the end of the year, and the Divine Arms Academy will be closed for break. Professor Zhou Yan should be able to rest now," Wu Mo said to himself as hey on the bed.


    Just then, something urred to him, and he immediately opened his eyes.


    "How''s Little Yan''s recent academic performance? I''m free now, so I have to call back and ask."


    Wu Mo sat up on the bed and quickly dialed a very familiar number.


    "Hello, Son. What a surprise. Won''t calling over affect your work?"


    It did not take long for the call to connect, and his mother''s familiar voice came through.


    Wu Mo immediately started to chat with his mother when he sensed the warmth in her voice.


    On the phone, Wu Mo asked about his parents'' physical condition and his sister''s academic status.


    "Your dad went out to buy some ginger. He''ll be back soon. We''re both in good health now, and the neighbors are very easy to get along with. Don''t worry.


    "Little Yan was fifth in her ss two days ago. Her grades have caught up."


    Hearing that his family was doing well, Wu Mo instantly smiled with relief.

 Chapter 314 Equipment Experience

    "Son, how are you? Are you tired from work?"


    Wu Mo stood up and walked to the window. He looked at the irregr clouds in the sky and told his mother about his recent experiences, including the exhibition and the awards.


    On the other end of the phone, Fang Hun was overjoyed to hear that her son was doing well. However, she still reminded Wu Mo to take care of his health after work and to strike a bnce between work and rest so that he could go further.


    "I know, Mom. I''ll take care of my health. It''ll be New Year''s in two months. I''ll be back early."


    Wu Mo could not help but smile as he listened to his mother''s words carefully.


    "Okay, be careful when you work outside."


    After Wu Mo responded, his mother ended the call.


    Leaning against the window and looking at the busy armory outside, Wu Mo heaved a sigh of relief.


    Ever since he entered the Fifth Research Department, he had been busy with work. He barely called home a few times a month. Wu Mo felt a little guilty. Apart from material goods, he did not provide thepany that a son should have.


    However, when he heard that his parents'' life was not bad, the thorn in his heart disappeared.


    "Forget it, let''s stop dwelling on this. I''ll go to the research and development nt to familiarize myself with it and see if I need anything." Wu Mo stretched his back and said to himself.


    Even though he was only working at Armory No. 64 for two months, he still needed good office equipment.


    After putting on his coat, Wu Mo went out and walked straight in the direction of the research facility.


    He also saw many employees in the dormitory building.


    Those people were basically over 35 years old, and some of them had gray sideburns.


    Wu Mo was rather conspicuous in this ce.


    Just like the Fifth Research Department, those who could enter the armory with their own abilities were all incredibly skilled.


    However, forging techniques required a long period of learning. Those who could meet the standards and be recruited were all cksmiths of five stars and above. Naturally, they were not very young.


    Not long after, Wu Mo arrived outside the dormitory building. However, before he could open the map and navigate, his stomach suddenly made a growling sound.


    "Uh... I need to have a meal first."


    It was 10 o''clock in the morning when he left the Fifth Research Department and past noon when he arrived at Lone Wolf''s ward.


    By the time they got to Armory No. 64 from Renhe Medical Center, it was already two in the afternoon.


    Looking at the sun in the sky, which was not as ring as before, Wu Mo suddenly smiled bitterly.


    Everything was good about being a researcher, but time was of the essence, and he had forgotten to eat. To Wu Mo, this was amon urrence.


    Following the navigation, Wu Mo finally arrived at the armory''s cafeteria after taking a few turns.


    It was only then that he had a clear idea of the armory''s real size.


    It was more than twice the size of the Fifth Research Department.


    He saw all kinds of factories, one after another, and the buzzing sound of the working machines was endless.


    After entering the cafeteria, Wu Mo ordered a few appetizers and found a ce to sit down.


    The armory was an organization under the military''smand, so he could order the food with his eyes closed.


    Not long after he sat down, he was served a fragrant meal. Wu Mo picked up the chopsticks and eliminated his hunger.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Twenty minutester, he left the cafeteria, satisfied.


    The cafeteria in this division was not far from the core research facility. So, this time, Wu Mo did not need navigation to find the location.


    From his pocket, he took out the documents that he had gotten in order this afternoon and handed them to the security guard. After the guard checked them carefully, he was allowed to pass.


    Once he entered the research facility, a Misty Array appeared before him.


    There were security checks on both sides. Not only did he have to put his personal items into the security machine, but he also had to go through the machine before he could enter.


    The twoyers of security and vision-isting array increased the security and privacy of the research facility.


    Even if there were people there with ill intentions, they definitely would not do anything that would harm the research facility''s interests.


    After passing through the thick fog, Wu Mo sessfully entered the research facility.


    Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked when he saw the scene before him that looked like something out of a sci-fi movie, especially the huge instruments that were seven to eight meters tall and the central control console that had countless pipes that went deep into the ground.


    The lights above lit up the ce. Countless people in special work clothes shuttled through, and from time to time, he could hear the sound of air jets.


    Such an immersive experience made Wu Mo''s heart restless.


    "I''ll only start the quality control work in two days. Since I have time now, I might as well try out the equipment first."


    After mumbling to himself, Wu Mo''s face immediately revealed an excited smile.


    He quickened his pace and found his work area based on the number te.


    Wu Mo took out his key and opened the door to the workshop. Everything within was exposed to him.


    It was a reasonably-arranged office that was more than 10 square meters.


    The room was fully equipped, including a bookshelf in the corner and a ck file basket beside theputer desk.


    There was an ergonomic chair and a high-performanceputer. There was even a pot of white flowers on the window sill as decoration.


    The carpet was thick, and the couch was soft. Such infrastructure was already better than those in so-called elite office buildings.


    After closing the door, Wu Mo immediately went to theputer desk, turned on theputer, and inserted the USB that he carried with him. Then he imported the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s model data into the hard disk.


    Before long, theputer screen showed the final version of the model that Wu Mo had developed.


    He touched his chin and admired the masterpiece that he had spent more than a month working on. Then, he got up and left the workshop, locking it from the inside.


    Now that the hardware problem of the instrument had been solved, the materials were not a problem for the armory.


    He just needed to familiarize himself with the equipment here. Once he understood the main high-tech equipment, it would be time to cast the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    However, there were too many high-tech instruments in the research and development nt, so there was not enough time to experience each of them. Moreover, some of the instruments had simr effects, but they were used in different scenarios.


    Therefore, Wu Mo only chose a dozen or so pieces of equipment that he was most curious about.


    After a few minutes of waiting in line, Wu Mo was given temporary ess to the first device.


    The instrument in front of him was three meters tall and more than two meters wide.


    The outer shell of the instrument was cast from fine iron, and there were basically no gaps. There was only an entrance and exit about 60 centimeters in length and width left directly below the instrument, which was used to put in materials and output finished products.

 Chapter 315 An Unexpected Effect

    Above the entrance was an eye-catching screen that recorded the working status of the equipment and various data.


    Wu Mo was standing on the instrument''s control panel. He could adjust the various data of the instrument for different materials and scenes.


    However, a work card was required to activate the device, and it could only be used for a maximum of 10 minutes.


    The instrument''s main function was to quickly process arge number of materials and fuse them intoposite materials that met the requirements. Whether it was metal or other rare materials, it could be fused inrge quantities.


    However, this fusion was only possible if the purity of the original material was high enough because the instrument did not have the effect of purifying material.


    After all, no matter how good the equipment was, it only provided a supplementary effect. There were many kinds of materials, and the melting point of each was different.


    However, if one wanted to forge a high-quality weapon, one would still need to be skilled enough.


    It just so happened that Wu Mo''s Interspatial Ring still had a lot of purified materials left, so he took the opportunity to experience the effect of the instrument.


    Soon, he put four different materials into the machine and adjusted the hardness and various other required variables.


    The moment the entrance below closed, the entire device immediately began to work.


    The instrument that was a few meters high kept making a buzzing sound. At this time, Wu Mo felt the temperature around him rise a little.


    "I hope this high-tech equipment will surprise me."


    Looking at the words "processing" disyed on the instrument''s LCD screen, Wu Mo was somewhat expectant.


    A few minutester, the buzzing of the instrument stopped abruptly. Then, the hatch below opened, and a faint mist drifted out.


    Wu Mo lowered his head and saw that the hatch, which had been empty after absorbing the materials, now had a light silver metal block.


    The metal block was only the size of a fist, and it was in the shape of a cuboid.


    Wu Mo immediately put on a pair of heat-resistant gloves and took it out. However, he was surprised to find that he did not sense any warmth from the light silver metal block at all!


    Wu Mo''s pupils shrank when he realized this.


    ''Gasp... In just a few minutes, not only did you fuse theposite materials ording to the requirements, but you also cooled it down to normal temperature so that it can be used right away!'' he subconsciously said in his heart, and his jaw unwittingly dropped.


    It was a little too efficient.


    One should know that a normal purified solution needed at least half an hour to cool down, and most metals required several times the cooling time.


    Even if it was the high-quality workbench in the Divine-grade Forging Space that had the effect of rapid cooling, it would still take at least 10 minutes to cool down.


    It did not have the insanely overpowered effect of this device at all.


    He was excited for a moment, but he quickly calmed down.


    After pondering for a while, he quickly found the instrument''s limitations.


    The forging equipment before him was several meters long and wide, and it weighed several dozen tons.


    With the powerful energy supply from the central control, it was not too difficult to achieve such an effect.


    Even though the equipment''s material processing efficiency was extremely high, there were still many limitations.


    For example, it was not like the Divine-grade Forging Space, which could be used anywhere and anytime.<novelnext></novelnext>


    There were also many restrictions on the values that could be controlled and adjusted. While the material could be good enough, the instrument could not forge anything with a hardness or toughness of more than 90.


    Nevertheless, despite these constraints, the materials before him were outstanding enough.


    If the Fifth Research Department could be equipped with one, the research and development speed of those researchers would also greatly improve.


    Just as Wu Mo was thinking about how to get such a device to the Fifth Research Department, the device in front of him suddenly beeped.


    Then, his work card was pushed out, showing that his time was up.


    The ear-piercing sound snapped Wu Mo back to reality. He subconsciously looked at the line behind him and showed an apologetic expression. Then, he took his work card and left.


    He wandered around the research facility and found a new piece of equipment that he was interested in.


    He had already taken the metal block produced by the forging instrument to the detector and checked it once. The value obtained was exactly the same as the one he had set.


    The light silver metal piece had a hardness of 86 points, and it was very flexible. It was incredibly suitable for the exoskeleton of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    However, this was only the initial version. He would definitely continue to test it in the future and make many improvements ording to his needs.


    He wanted to develop the most suitable metal to cast the exoskeleton armor for the Three-Dimensional Maneuver Gear within half a month.


    As for the subsequent jet equipment, he would need to use many of the equipment there.


    Although there was still a long way to go, Wu Mo had already seen hope. He was looking forward to the day when the instation waspleted.


    About two hourster, he had already tried more than a dozen of the selected instruments. If it had not been for the long queue for some of the instruments, Wu Mo would not have stopped there.


    During this experience, Wu Mo gained a lot of knowledge and had a deeper understanding of the forging equipment.


    Among the devices he had experienced today, there was a melting device that could efficiently forge materials, a casting device that was urate to the millimeter, and arge furnace that could reach tens of thousands of temperatures in 10 seconds.


    He had also gotten to use many pieces of super advanced equipment that were beyond his worldview. Among them, the one that left the deepest impression on him was an equipment that could castrge amounts of equipment parts in a short time. It was called the electromaic casting machine.


    A piece of military equipment or weapon often needed to be made up of several parts. For example, a sharp sword needed a hilt, de, and a tassel.


    To produce a weapon, these three parts had to be cast first, thenbined and assembled.


    The conventional method was to forge each part individually. Even if it was an integrated device, it could only make the process faster by about two times.


    However, the electromaic casting machine that Wu Mo had experienced this afternoon could suppress and cast dozens of parts at the same time, which almost raised the production speed of equipment to a new level.


    After experiencing so many modern instruments in the research nt in one afternoon, Wu Mo''s confidence in forging the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear within a month increased.


    He was not too sure before, but after experiencing these instruments, it was as if he had taken a calming pill. He decided that after the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear was developed, he would get a few sets of these modern instruments and bring them back to the Research Department.


    At four o ''clock in the afternoon, Wu Mo left the research facility.


    He first went to the armory''s material warehouse and received some of the materials needed to cast his Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    After that, he returned to his dormitory and prepared to enter the Divine-grade Forging Space. He would develop the sample of the material that would be used to make the exoskeleton ording to the documents provided by the system.


    "As expected of the armory, they''re so generous," Wu Mo muttered to himself with a face full of joy as he looked at the pile of materials in front of him that were emitting a light blue glow.

 Chapter 316 New Alloy Material

    Although the materials from the warehouse were not too precious, each of them was of a certain degree of rarity. If he were to go around and collect them, it would take at least a week to gather a whole set.


    Furthermore, the armory''s warehouse had given him about three sets of each material, which greatly increased Wu Mo''s margin for error in forging.


    Although this was only his first attempt, if he could seed on his first try, he would be able to save a lot of time.


    What surprised him the most was that such treatment was given even to ordinary staff members.


    One could see how rich the armory was.


    With a thought, Wu Mo put the materials in his Interspatial Ring.


    After confirming that the dormitory door was locked from the inside, Wu Mo sat on the edge of the bed and slowly closed his eyes to calm his mind. After a while, he had seemingly fallen asleep and could no longer sense any movement around him.


    By the time he recovered and opened his eyes again, he was in a boundless chaotic space with dark purple light floating around.


    At the center of the chaotic space, there were familiar working tables, furnaces, casting tools, and other instruments.


    Wu Mo walked up quickly and waved his right hand. The next moment, a small mountain of rare materials appeared before him.


    "Let''s start..."


    Wu Mo muttered to himself as he squinted and looked at the materials in front of him that were emitting a faint glow.


    He quickly put on the Craftsman''s Gloves and immediately began to process the materials.


    Wu Mo was not trying to cast a device for the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, but an exoskeleton armor that wrapped around the wearer and protected him or her.


    ording to his design, the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear would perfectly cover the chest, lower abdomen, hands, and feet of the wearer.


    There was no design for the head as it would block the wearer''s vision.


    After all, the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear was known for its flexibility. If there was a loss of vision, it would likely lead to other problems.


    To achieve high mobility and flexibility, the material of the exoskeleton armor had to be light, and its thickness should not exceed three centimeters!


    Moreover, the toughness and hardness needed to reach a very high standard so that it could be used for protection.


    These almost unreasonable requirements meant that the materials used to cast the armor had to be carefully selected.


    Unfortunately, Wu Mo had not been able to find the right materials during the few months he had been researching and developing the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    If it was too heavy, it would greatly reduce the gear''s mobility.


    The other way around, it would be difficult to have a high level of protection.


    Even many of the patented alloys could not meet his requirements.


    Wu Mo had no choice but to forge an alloy that was suitable for the gear''s armor himself. He had learned how to cast the new alloy from the document provided by the system.


    Despite having the idea, he could not implement it when he was at the Fifth Research Department.


    Since the new alloy casting method was tooplicated, it required the help of various instruments. With the Fifth Research Department''s current hardware, it was impossible toplete it.


    Furthermore, the Research Department''s material library was notprehensive enough, and it could not provide the appropriate materials.


    Wu Mo''s idea could only be realized when he arrived at the armory.


    Just like that, Wu Mo began to work on his own understanding while reviewing the alloy forging method in the document.


    He wanted to use these materials to create an alloy called polyethylene alloy. It was a material that was resistant to corrosion, impact, and it had high hardness.<novelnext></novelnext>


    If Wu Mo could sessfully forge it this time, the exoskeleton armor for the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear would be close topletion.


    However, even though he had already learned the core skill of alloy forging, the actual operation was still highly challenging.


    The process was extremelyplicated. Not only did it require the transfer of the solution, but the polyethylene needed to be extracted from the armory''s material warehouse and processed into high-molecr-weight polyethylene through tower permeation.


    He still needed to use the furnace to calcinate another type of alloy with goodpatibility. Finally, he would need to fuse the extracted high-molecr polyethylene with the other type of alloy and put them through a special process before he could obtain the final polyethylene alloy.


    During this time, Wu Mo had to do a lot of preparation work. The final step, the fusion of polyethylene and alloy, required the help of the modern equipment in the research and development nt.


    Toplete the original version of the alloy, he had to deal with every detail.


    Even if Wu Mo handled everything wlessly, it would still take about two days to get the final product.


    Although the road ahead was filled with difficulties, it did not shake Wu Mo''s determination.


    He wiped the fine sweat on his forehead and continued with his work.


    About 40 minutester, Wu Mo finally finished mixing the solution for extracting high-molecr polyethylene.


    At this moment, the small mountain of materials beside the workbench was almost half gone.


    With a sigh of relief, Wu Mo immediately poured the light green solution into the permometer. After adjusting the permometer''s mode, he returned to the workbench and continued to deal with other things.


    Since the forging equipment previously did not require that kind of material to be obtained through permeation, the Divine-grade Forging Space did not have the corresponding equipment.


    This time, with a request, the space immediately unlocked the corresponding area.


    It was just that activating the permometer cost him 1,000 points, hence Wu Mo was not quite used to it.


    Ever since he became stronger, he had not exchanged points for anything in the system store for a long time.


    Thinking back to when he was in the Divine Arms Academy, he would often exchange points for spirit power potions and spend his days counting points.


    He nced at the number in the column representing his points on the system interface. It was 276,829.


    Well, it was still stable.


    Wu Mo focused his attention back on the work table. He brought a few metals to the furnace and prepared to forge the alloy that was to be fused with polyethylene.


    The 12 fire outlets outside the fine grade furnace were constantly emitting red light. Even though Wu Mo had not used it for a while, the mes inside were still rising and producing heat waves.


    "Let''s begin... Once everything is in ce, I should be able to create polyethylene alloy by tomorrow."


    Wu Mo ced his right palm on the fire and immediately mobilized his spirit power.


    The next moment, the temperature of the furnace rose sharply, and a blinding light spread. He squinted subconsciously and did not forget to throw in the fist-sized molybdenum.


    The casting of alloys was equallyplicated and boring.


    Not only did Wu Mo need to control the me temperature in the furnace for a long time, but he also needed to put in various auxiliary materials such as oxidizers and reducing agents in time.


    It would only be considered a sess when all the various metals were fused, each property met the standard, and the impurity rate was less than three thousandths.


    However, Wu Mo had already practiced the process of forging metal hundreds and thousands of times. This kind of difficulty was nothing to him, but it was certainly boring.


    This processsted for a long time. After about two hours, Wu Mo finallypleted the fusion of the materials in the furnace.


    The alloy was already being removed continuously. It would probably cool down in another ten minutes or so.

 Chapter 317 Hardcore Knowledge

    Every step in the process of forging a new alloy wasplicated. Even Wu Mo, who had a lot ofbat experience, could not help but feel a little tired.


    However, in the end, he still managed to sessfully extract the alloy metal. The alloy production would only be consideredplete when the crimson liquid was poured into the cooled crucible.


    On the other side, the permometer''s tower permeation work wasing to an end. As numerous solutions were broken down, the polyethylene in the materials was finally extracted and turned into sesame-sized particles, which settled and fused at the bottom of the instrument.


    This was high-molecr-weight polyethylene, a super-performance material that had excellent effects and could be applied to ship manufacturing and aviation.


    Now that the two materials were ready, he only had to wait until tomorrow to try out the sess or failure with the modern equipment in the research facility.


    Thinking of this, Wu Mo was a little excited. If the final fusion tomorrow was sessful, it would mean that the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear could be quickly cast.


    "Let''s wait and see." Looking at the surging dark purple light around him, Wu Mo slowly closed his eyes and said expectantly.


    ...


    Not long after, Wu Mo''s consciousness returned to reality.


    It was already six o''clock in the evening, and darkness had almost filled the sky outside the window. Many of the buildings in the armory were lit up.


    Since he had already tried to forge the materials in the forging space, Wu Mo had nothing to do now. He immediately picked up the document that Elder Huang had given him and read it.


    Wu Mo sat at the desk and scanned the contents of the document.


    It was a booklet with only a dozen pages. It introduced the history of the armory, as well as how to use and repairmonly used equipment.


    It seemed to help new employees better understand and adapt to everything in the armory.


    However, when he read thetter half of the book, Wu Mo found that the content suddenly got heavier. It talked about the working principles of manyrge instruments and the prerequisites to realize the technical means.


    After nearly two hours, Wu Mo finally understood the 17-page book.


    Wu Mo ced it back on the table and could not help but sigh.


    "As expected of the armory. Even the New Employee''s Handbook is so hardcore."


    He had studied plenty of theoretical knowledge rted to forging and the personal notes of many forging masters, but he was almost stumped by this booklet.


    Many of the advanced theories exceeded his spectrum of knowledge, and he still needed to look them up before he could understand their meaning.


    Wu Mo finally understood why the senior researchers at the Fifth Research Department were unwilling to work at the armory when they attended the monthly meeting.


    Compared with the Fifth Research Department, which was theirfort zone, the armory was apletely unfamiliar territory.


    Whether it was the knowledge they had learned or the technical means they relied on to survive, they were not of much use here.


    Even if his master, who had the bestbat skills, came, he would not be able to keep up with the rhythm.


    In addition, the older one was, the slower one would learn new things, and some would even resist it from the bottom of their hearts.


    At this thought, Wu Mo felt even more fortunate for his determination toe here.


    If he had missed this trip, it would have been even more difficult for him toe into contact with such knowledge in the future.


    Looking at the warm yellow light from the tablemp, Wu Mo leaned against the table and frowned.


    Refining the alloy in the forging space had already used up a portion of his spiritual strength. Now that he had read through the booklet, he was bing somewhat distracted.


    He looked out of the window and realized that it was gettingte. He still had to go to the factory to develop the new equipment tomorrow to forge the polyethylene alloy.


    With that thought in mind, Wu Mo immediately got to his feet. After he was done washing up, he pushed the door open and entered the bedroom.<novelnext></novelnext>


    As hey on the soft bed, he was overwhelmed by fatigue. He slowly closed his eyes, and images shed through his mind.


    In them were all the things he had seen and heard today.


    There was a huge central control console, huge and novel equipment around it, the entric Elder Huang, and the dense Misty Array that could block people''s perception.


    A few minutester, all the images returned to darkness, leaving only the sound of even breathing in the room.


    ...


    The next morning at six, Wu Mo was awakened by his biological clock.


    When he subconsciously opened his eyes, he realized that he was not in the small research room or the huge vi''s master bedroom. He was stunned.


    A few secondster, he came to his senses and sat on the edge of the bed,ughing.


    "I''m going to start my main job tomorrow. I should get the results of the experiment while I still have free time."


    Looking at the work pass on the bedside table, Wu Mo immediately remembered his first goal. He quickly got out of bed, washed up, and got dressed in one go.


    He put on his work pass and headed to the living room.


    Since the research facility only opened at eight in the morning, Wu Mo had enough time to fill his stomach before he headed there.


    He looked at his phone. It was not even seven in the morning yet, and he could not waste the prime time of the morning. Wu Mo snapped his fingers, and a notebook appeared in his hand.


    This notebook with a slightly yellowed cover was a reward given to him by the military chief when he received second-ss merit. Since he had been busy learning the theories behind the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, Wu Mo had not really read this notebook.


    Now that he was in the armory, time was tight as well, but at least he could find a few moments to read the notes of some famous people.


    The contents of the notebook were very precious. Wu Mo had studied such notes many times but was still filled with emotion when he read them.


    He had already reached the peak of five stars and was only one step away from the six-star rank.


    However, the decades-old insights of those master cksmiths were still rare treasures to him.


    His mind was like a surging tide. Wu Mo carefully read every sentence in the handwritten book, for fear of missing any important knowledge.


    The dullness of the subject did not make it easier for Wu Mo to forget what he learned.


    In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed. It was only when his stomach growled in protest that Wu Mo slowly regained his senses.


    Seeing that it was almost time, he immediately got up and rushed to the cafeteria closest to the research facility.


    Wu Mo finished his breakfast and rushed back to the research facility just in time for the gate outside the research facility to be opened. Many martial artists with real guns were lined up on both sides, waiting for the security personnel to take their ces.


    At this time, there were already many staff members gathered outside the research facility, which surprised Wu Mo.


    "It seems that even in such an advanced armory, internalplications were still inevitable."


    He sighed in his heart. Seeing that the security personnel were ready, he immediately walked toward the gate.


    Just like the first time he entered the research facility, his personal items needed to go through the security machine. He also had to go through the sensor machine, simr to the security check before taking a train.


    After that, Wu Mo put on his ID card and walked into the mist.


    The area ahead was covered in thick mist, and there was a cool feeling around him. A momentter, his footsteps cleared the entrance, and he appeared in the research facility.


    The scene before him was still like a futuristic world. Countless steam pipes from all directions converged in front of the central console and went deep underground.

 Chapter 318 The First Experiment

    There were already many staff members waiting around the central control console. They were adjusting the instruments and preparing to start them at the same time and send steam energy to all therge machines.


    Bright lights shone down from above Wu Mo''s head, and therge instruments around him constantly rumbled as they operated. It was like a scene from a steam punk movie, and it made him a little excited.


    Wu Mo stood in ce for a moment. When he noticed the screens of the instruments light up and saw how they normally worked, he immediately walked toward arge instrument not far away.


    The reason he had rushed to the research facility in advance was to fuse the new metal with high-molecr polyethylene and forge it into a new alloy. It would be the main material for the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s exoskeleton.


    The working environment required to forge a new alloy was difficult to achieve with ordinary furnaces, so he could only use these modern instruments to mix the two materials together.


    Although Wu Mo already knew all the theoretical knowledge about forging a new alloy, he had never actually put it into practice, so he was not sure if he could sessfully forge it.


    Last night, he had used the backtrack function in the Divine-grade Forging Space to sessfully forge three sets of raw materials for the new alloy. With three chances, Wu Mo had to seed no matter what.


    If the alloy forging failed this time, the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s progress would inevitably be dyed.


    However, he did not have much time now. There were less than two months until the end of the year. He had to seize every minute and second!


    At the research facility, Wu Mo did not have to line up like he did yesterday because he came in at the opening time.


    He stood in front of therge material fusion machine and took a deep breath. He then took off his work pass and ced it on the operating table.


    Soon, the material fusion machine was sessfully activated, and the nearly three-meter-tall device before him started to buzz.


    In the next second, the work entrance next to him opened. Wu Mo put his mind to work, and a ball of tightly stuck, white granr polymer polyethylene appeared in his hand.


    He threw it into the tool''s mouth, then threw in a fist-sized affinity metal and some rare auxiliary materials.


    After waiting for the operation port to close, Wu Mo immediately began to adjust the instrument''s internal fusion environment, including the temperature, humidity, oxygen concentration, and other attributes.


    After everything was settled, he pressed the red processing button without thinking.


    Chi...


    He heard a sound, and the instrument in front of him suddenly emitted arge amount of white steam. The next moment, the screen on the control table lit up, and the words "processing" were disyed on it.


    "Let''s hope I can seed on the first try."


    Pursing his lips, Wu Mo slowly stepped back and waited for the machine to finish working.


    By now, many other workers had already appeared in the research facility.


    They shuttled between all kinds of instruments. Some were studying the properties of materials, while others were looking up at the screens nervously.


    From time to time, he could see young girls in blue overalls, holding documents and going in and out of the office area not far away.


    Wu Mo waited patiently as the fusion machine finished its processing.


    Out of nowhere, the youthful voice of a maninterrupted him from behind.


    "Little Brother, you''re here to forge materials so early in the morning?"


    Wu Mo had been focused on the screen, but the sudden voice startled him.


    He turned around subconsciously and saw a middle-aged man in a gray coat standing behind him.


    "You... How are you doing?"<novelnext></novelnext>


    Wu Mo nodded politely.


    It was only his second day at the armory, so he definitely did not know the middle-aged man in front of him.


    "Haha, don''t be nervous. I''m not in a hurry. It''s fine if you use this device a few more times. By the way, you don''t look familiar. You must be new to the armory.


    The middle-aged man smiled and shrugged, then started to chat with him.


    Seeing that the equipment in front of him was about to finish processing, Wu Mo did not want to miss the time to take the finished product out of the furnace. "Oh... I just arrived yesterday, so it''s no surprise that you don''t know me," he said absent-mindedly.


    He turned around and stared at the entrance of the fusion machine.


    The middle-aged man behind him wanted to say something, but just as he was about to open his mouth, a burst of steam interrupted him.


    The instrument before him emitted white steam, and the surrounding temperature immediately rose a little.


    Wu Mo''s eyes lit up. He waved his hand to fan away the steam around him. Then, he immediately put on a pair of insted gloves and took out the materials inside.


    The two balls of materials he had thrown in earlier were the size of a fist, but the metal block in front of him now was only the size of a sugar cube.


    The metal block was light gray in color, and its surface was hard and rough. There were some feathers on the edge. It seemed to be a failed product.


    Seeing this, Wu Mo was not discouraged. Instead, he took out a small knife from his pocket.


    The knife was only a dozen centimeters long and had a yellow stic shell. The body of the knife was made of fine iron, but the tip was iid with diamonds. It could easily cut through materials with a hardness of less than 70.


    He held the light gray metal block in his left hand and the diamond knife in his right hand. Then, he frowned and cut the surface of the metal block with force.


    The two objects came into contact, and he heard a piercing sound that made one''s teeth ache.


    At this time, Wu Mo was surprised to find that the diamond knife, which was close to full marks in hardness, only left a shallow white mark on the surface of the light gray metal block!


    This shocking scene made the middle-aged man, who was bored from waiting, open his mouth slightly.


    "Hey, Little Brother, what kind of material are you using? It''s so hard!"


    As an early-stage six-star cksmith, he naturally knew that the diamond knife in Wu Mo''s hand was used to measure hardness. Therefore, he was very aware of the metal block''s hardness. It was at least 85 points and above.


    However, in reality, the only materials that could achieve such hardness were few alloys that could be named.


    However, the metal block in the young man''s hand did not belong to any metal he knew, be it in shape or color. This immediately aroused his curiosity.


    The middle-aged man was curious, but Wu Mo did not answer him as if he did not hear him. The joy on his face gradually disappeared, and it was reced by disappointment.


    "Although the hardness is good enough, there is still a problem with the weight. The fusion of the affinity metal and polyethylene is not sufficient. What''s the problem?"


    Wu Mo frowned as he pondered. When the middle-aged man behind him heard what he seemed to be mumbling to himself, the man''s pupils suddenly shrank.


    After all, he was the team leader of the metal weapons production workshop, so he had a thorough understanding of various materials.


    However, he had never heard of polyethylene, which was ssified as stic, being able to fuse with metal.


    It was obvious that the young man in front of him was developing some kind of new metal. Otherwise, he would not be frowning when the hardness of the material was above 80.

 Chapter 319 Captain Yu

    Thinking of this, the middle-aged man''s thoughts immediately became clear.


    He nced at the metal block in the young man''s hand and looked at the metal''s mottled surface. He quickly understood the reason for his failure.


    With a confident smile, he leaned forward and whispered, "Is it possible that there was a problem with the oxidation, causing the weight of the material to not meet the standard?"


    Before the middle-aged man said anything, Wu Mo was still thinking hard.


    Including the previous control link, the set data problems, and the proportion of auxiliary materials, he had considered all of them. There were no mistakes, but everything was as he had expected.


    He thought that he would not be able to figure out the reason for his failure today, but the words that came from behind him suddenly made Wu Mo''s eyes light up. He felt as if he had been enlightened!


    Yes, the hardness of the material had reached the standard. Although the other properties had not been tested, the deviation should not be too big. The reason why the material was too heavy was probably due to the iplete oxidation reaction, resulting in the two materials not beingpletely fused!


    He turned around in shock and looked at the middle-aged man, who was smiling confidently. He was shocked.


    The man in front of him was able to determine that there was a problem with the oxidation process just by the shape and color of the material without knowing the raw materials he had used. Such knowlodge must have involved an extremely terrifying experiment.


    Thinking of this, Wu Mo immediately apologized for ignoring him.


    "I''m sorry. Thank you for your magnanimity. Not only did you not fuss about what happened earlier, but you also magnanimously exined my doubts."


    Wu Mo cupped his hands at the middle-aged man and spoke with a sincere expression.


    "Haha, it''s nothing. It''s rare to see someone in the younger generation who is so dedicated to research. As an old employee of the armory, it''s my duty to help the neers," the middle-aged man said with a look of admiration.


    Wu Mo nodded. He wanted to thank him, at least treat him to a meal or something. He asked with a serious expression, "My name is Wu Mo. I was transferred here from the Fifth Research Department to oversee the quality of some equipment. May I know your name?"


    "You''re wee. As long as you''re here, we''re colleagues." The middle-aged manughed heartily. "You can call me Captain Yu. Wee to Armory No. 64."


    With that, Captain Yu extended his hand with a smile.


    They had a tacit understanding, and Wu Mo shook hands with him.


    The two of them chatted for a while, and Captain Yu seemed to be very happy about the appearance of a new member in the armory.


    During this time, Wu Mo wanted to invite Captain Yu to have a meal together, but the captain politely rejected his offer.


    Wu Mo was afraid of disrupting his daily tasks, so he did not stay any longer after that. He left the research facility in a hurry with new wisdom.


    Captain Yu''s words earlier had given Wu Mo more insight into the creation of the new alloy. He needed to go back and sort out his ideas again. He would only n to experiment when he had a specific idea.


    That morning, Wu Mo continued to read the document and paid attention to the concept and technology of the new alloy''s production. He was trying to find some parts that he had missed.


    Captain Yu''s prior mention of the insufficient oxidation reaction had revealed the problem of the alloy''s smelting, but so far, Wu Mo had not figured out a solution.


    Captain Yu had his own things to do, and Wu Mo could not always ask him for help.


    "Urgh... It seems that I still have a long way to go before I reach the six-star rank."


    Wu Mo could not help but sigh as he looked at the information on theputer.


    There was a problem with the first attempt at casting the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear. Things would not go as smoothly as he had thought.


    After letting his imagination run wild for a while, Wu Mo regained his confidence and continued with his previous learning.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the next day.


    It was the day that Wu Mo would begin his official task.


    ? He appeared at the factory''s entrance at eight o''clock sharp in the morning. He waited for the staff to start the equipment before he showed his ID and entered the factory.


    This was the first time he had officially entered arge factory, so Wu Mo was a little nervous.


    Although he had already read the employee manual on both sides, he was still unfamiliar with most of the equipment.


    There was no other way. There were several dozen types of instruments in the development nt, not to mention the various assembly lines in the production workshop.


    Fortunately, his main job was to check the finished Invisibility Armor. If there was a problem with the equipment in the assembly line, there would be someone to repair it.


    However, Wu Mo still felt a little uneasy because he did not have enough knowledge. What if someone else mentioned something that everyone knew but he did not in their conversation?


    If he answered their questions wrongly, making a fool out of himself would be the least of his worries. If he gave the masters the feeling that he was unreliable, then subsequentmunication and discussions would probably be a problem.


    With that thought in mind, Wu Mo nervously went to his office.


    Since today was the first day of the Invisibility Armor and Spirit Wave Sword''s mass production, the workers in the factory were all busy debugging the equipment. The finished products were not out yet, so he was quite free.


    The factory upied arge area, and it was basically divided into three areas.


    They were the production workshops for the Invisibility Armor and Spirit Wave Swords. There were also seven or eightputers in a small area, which seemed to be used to store data or record issues.


    At this time, there were already a few people working at the eightputer desks. Wu Mo sat in his own seat and turned on theputer with a calm face.


    After entering the armory''s exclusive system and getting a brief understanding of how to operate it, Wu Mo began to browse the armory''s website and continued to supplement himself with relevant knowledge.


    It was not until nine in the morning that all the instruments were tested. Many trucks loaded with materials were transported out of the gate, and the production line had already started working.


    There were a total of six workers working on the Invisibility Armor''s production line. Since the Spirit Wave Sword was moreplicated, it required a total of eight workers.


    Wu Mo had nothing else to do at the moment, so he entered the workshops and observed them carefully.


    The staff members were very familiar with the equipment on the scene. Wu Mo also felt an abundant spirit power from them.


    He never thought that even the basic workers would be at the level of a four-star cksmith. This really shocked Wu Mo a little.


    On the other hand, the two workshop leaders had spirit power that was almost at the intermediate five-star rank, which was not very different from his.


    Just as Wu Mo finished his tour, he heard the beeping of a machine.


    He immediately returned to the Invisibility Armor''s production workshop. As soon as he entered, he saw the staff carefully taking out a cast product.


    Wu Mo''s eyes lit up. "Don''t seal it yet," he said. "I''ll see how good the quality is."


    Although the staff did not know Wu Mo''s identity, he knew that he was the quality supervisor for the two workshops.


    He promptly nodded and handed the item to Wu Mo.

 Chapter 320 Inspection

    Wu Mo took the Invisibility Armor that was still warm to the touch and looked at the beautiful device that was shining with silver light. He could not help but smile.


    "It''s great. This is worthy of the armory''s modern instruments. It has perfect precision!


    Wu Moplimented him without hesitation, but the staff member beside him shook his head helplessly. "You''re making a fuss out of nothing."


    "Uh..."


    Seeing the others continue to work and ignore him, Wu Mo suddenly stood awkwardly in ce.


    He coughed twice as if nothing had happened. Then, he immediately returned to his work desk and began to record the various data of the finished product.


    On the other side, the Spirit Wave Sword was also ready.


    Wu Mo checked it meticulously and recorded the data as well.


    In the morning, he checked three batches of finished products.


    In the end, the data of each finished product was less than a centimeter off, which was quite good.


    It was much better than the temporary workshop''s product in the Fifth Research Department.


    Fortunately, quality inspection work was not as tiring as the work that the workshop staff had to do. ording to their standard of operation, Wu Mo only needed to sample two batches a day, with an hour gap between each batch.


    If there were any problems, the staff would contact him. Only then would Wu Mo be able to take some time off to continue researching the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    However, since it was his first day of work, Wu Mo did not n on leaving his post. He stayed at the mass production factory the entire morning.


    In addition to his job, he also used his spare time to continue learning about equipment, such as the operation, maintenance, and characteristics of different instruments.


    This process continued until 11.00 am. Wu Mo did not stop until his eyes started to hurt.


    He got up and stretched. Just as he was about to head to the workshop to test out the new knowledge he had learned, he heard amotion outside the mass-production factory''s gate.


    Wu Mo nned to check if there were any problems with the materials.


    Suddenly, two men and a woman walked into the Invisibility Armor''s workshop.


    The old man in the lead was Elder Huang, who had guided him on the first day. As for the two people behind Elder Huang, one of them was the young woman who had served him on the first day, while the other man was not Wei Ge. He was a younger man with a slightly feminine face.


    "Elder Huang, what are you doing in this mass-production factory? This ce only produces ordinary equipment. If you have time, why don''t you..."


    The young man with the feminine face walked forward with a smile and chatted with Elder Huang affectionately.


    The woman in blue had a strange smile on her face as if she was watching a show.


    "You''ll understand soon. If you really want to learn something from Armory No. 64, just be quiet and follow me."


    Elder Huang raised his brows slightly, appearing a little impatient. After he finished speaking, he looked around and saw Wu Mo at the side.


    "You''re actually here to find me?"


    Wu Mo was a little surprised when his eyes met Elder Huang''s.


    This was only his first day of work. He did not need a seven-star cksmith like Elder Huang to personally guide him.


    While Wu Mo was still in a daze, Elder Huang had already walked toward him with the young woman.


    The people around them were a little confused. They thought that Elder Huang was there to supervise the production since the workshop was officially starting to mass produce equipment today.


    Therefore, when everyone saw Elder Huang enter the factory, they all sent messages to the two team leaders who were already resting. They thought that Elder Huang was looking for the leaders to understand their work.<novelnext></novelnext>


    However, no one expected Elder Huang''s real target to be an unknown neer who had just arrived at Armory No. 64.


    "Who''s this guy? Elder Huang actually came here to look for him?"


    "I don''t know him. I only know that he''s a quality inspector for two workshops. He should''ve been transferred from another organization."


    "He looks quite young. Did he get in through some connections?"


    The people around put down their work and started to discuss in low voices.


    While they were talking, Elder Huang walked up to Wu Mo.


    "Wu Mo, you arrived at work so soon. Has your work been going smoothly today?" ElderHuang asked with a concerned smile.


    The young woman on the left only nced at Wu Mo with her usual expression.


    However, the feminine-looking young man on Elder Huang''s right sized Wu Mo up with ill intentions. His face was full of hostility.


    Wu Mo''s expression did not change at all despite the other party''s hostile gaze. Instead, he turned to Elder Huang and reported his work seriously.


    "Elder Huang, today''s work has been going very smoothly. There are no problems with the quality of the mass-produced Invisibility Armor and Spirit Wave Swords. The relevant data has also been recorded."


    "Hmm, not bad. It''s a good thing to be serious about your work." Elder Huang nodded in satisfaction. "I haven''t seen the actual Invisibility Armor yet. If you don''t mind, can you take me there?"


    Elder Huang''s kind attitude made Wu Mo''s expression change slightly. He subconsciously looked at the man behind the elder and found that his expression was bing increasingly unkind.


    "No problem... Of course, I can. Elder Huang, please follow me."


    Wu Mo had no interest inmunicating with the young man behind Elder Huang. He quickly invited Elder Huang into the workshop with a sour face.


    "Alright..." Elder Huang nodded with a smile, then immediately turned to the young man beside him and said, "Chen Yunjin... didn''t you want to learn from me? Today, I''ll bring you along so that you can broaden your horizons."


    After that, Elder Huang did not wait for the young man''s reaction and followed Wu Mo into the Invisibility Armor''s production workshop.


    When the young man whom Elder Huang called Chen Yunjin heard this, he immediately cupped his hands and said, "Alright, Elder Huang. I''ll definitely study hard."


    The young woman at the side instantly covered her mouth andughed.


    Chen Yunjin already felt embarrassed. Now that a girl of the same age wasughing at him, the anger in his heart grew.


    However, the girl beside him was someone close to Elder Huang, so he could not vent his anger on her even if he was furious.


    ''What kind of bullsh*t quality inspector is he? What qualifications does he have to be favored by Elder Huang?


    ''It''s just a run-down factory. What can catch my eye here?''


    Feeling indignant, Chen Yunjin cursed in his heart. However, seeing that the two had already entered the factory, he could only follow them.


    The three of them then entered the workshop. Seeing that the situation had calmed down, the people around them stopped poking their heads in their business and returned to their posts.


    At 11.30 am, the group of four arrived at the integrated mass-production equipment.


    At this time, the new batch of equipment had just been produced. Wu Mo immediately stepped forward and took a piece of equipment that was still emitting white smoke. Soon, he introduced it to Elder Huang and the others.


    "Elder Huang, this is the Invisibility Armor produced by the workshop. Please have a look..."


    As he spoke, Wu Mo handed the Invisibility Armor over. Elder Huang took the equipment with a surprised look. The young woman beside him also seemed surprised when she saw the equipment.


    Meanwhile, Chen Yunjin, who was on the other side, only nced at them coldly. He did not care about such a piece of equipment at all.

 Chapter 321 Inexplicable Enemies

    "No wonder the military wants to mass produce the Invisibility Armor. Its design and structure are exquisite!"


    Elder Huang touched the Invisibility Armor and felt its warm and smooth surface.


    As he spoke, he asked the two people beside him to observe.


    The woman on Elder Huang''s right immediately walked forward. Her red lips were slightly parted, and her eyes were filled with disbelief.


    "Elder Huang, this is just ordinary armor. What''s there to praise about it?"


    Chen Yunjin felt depressed when he saw Elder Huang''s face, which was full of admiration.


    Elder Huang was an early-stage seven-star cksmith, after all. How could he possibly be interested in such a thing?


    In his opinion,ing to this mass-production factory was a waste of time. He hade to Armory No. 64 with the intention of learning forging from Elder Huang, not to do useless work!


    "Hehe ... Ordinary armor? If you could have half of the skills of the researcher who designed this armor, you wouldn''t be stuck on the same level."


    Seeing the disdain in Chen Yunjin''s eyes, Elder Huang snorted coldly. Then, he immediately reached out and gently touched the Invisibility Armor''s surface.


    Chen Yunjin, who was at the side, was still a little unconvinced after being reprimanded. He was just about to say a few words to defend himself when he saw a series of shocking changes in the armor that had been gently touched by Elder Huang.


    Translucent wings suddenly appeared on the smooth surface of the silver armor. As the wings pped gently, the entire armor disappeared extremely quickly!


    After catching this unbelievable sight, Chen Yunjin, who had a disdainful look on his face, was suddenly rooted to the spot. His pupils shrank, and his face made him look as if he had seen a ghost.


    What kind of exquisite work was this? It used the principle of light bending to achieve physical invisibility!


    "Don''t be surprised just yet. Once you realize that this Invisibility Armor was made by a young five-star researcher, you''ll understand better what it means to be better than others!" The woman at the side crossed her arms and said with an inexplicable smile.


    When Chen Yunjin heard this, he was greatly shocked, and his expression was full of disbelief.


    He had originally thought that he, Chen Yunjin, was already standing at the top of the pyramid among the younger generation.


    In terms of natural talent, he had be an early-stage six-star cksmith at the age of thirty-five. In terms of strength, he had even forged a piece of Legendary-grade equipment with his own ability. He was already an existence that was as rare as Phoenix Feathers and Qilin Horns among people of his age.


    However, what he saw and heard today had almost subverted his three views, making him unable to extricate himself for a long time.


    "Alright, that''s all for today''s observation. Little Chen, Qiu Han, you two, go out and wait for me." Elder Huang coughed twice and said in a muffled voice.


    The two individuals behind him dared not dy. After responding, they immediately walked out of the factory.


    In the workshop, Wu Mo saw that the two of them leave and curiously asked, "Elder Huang, do you have any other orders for me?"


    "Mm... I''d like you to answer a question."


    Elder Huang looked around and saw that all the employees were focused on their work, not noticing them.


    "Wu Mo," he asked softly, "How did you know that the Dark Light Wings could reflect special images under specific light and achieve the effect of full-angle invisibility?"


    Wu Mo was stunned when he heard Elder Huang''s words.


    He had thought that Elder Huang was going to give him some instructions, but he did not expect the old man to ask him questions.


    Most importantly, Elder Huang''s question was also a bit tricky. Wu Mo was not a native of the capital, so it was even more impossible for him to know this characteristic of the Dark Light Wings.


    The reason why he was able to make the Invisibility Armor was mostly because of the system''s technical support.


    Therefore, when Elder Huang repeated his question, Wu Mo was stunned for a moment. It took him a few seconds to think of an answer.


    "I only discovered the Dark Light Wings'' invisibility feature by chance. It''s also thanks to the Dark Light Butterflies on the mountain behind the Fifth Research Department. It was a coincidence."<novelnext></novelnext>


    He scratched his head and found an excuse to brush it off.


    Then, Elder Huang asked Wu Mo some technical questions about making the Invisibility Armor. Wu Mo answered all of them fluently, which changed Elder Huang''s opinion of him a lot.


    "Not bad. You''re highly intelligent at such a young age, but I''d like to advise you to be more down-to-earth. Don''t study any exoskeleton machine and set your academic mind on the right path."


    "Uh..."


    "Thank you, Elder Huang. I''ll definitely remember your advice." Wu Mo nodded and said helplessly.


    Seeing this, Elder Huang responded and turned to leave in satisfaction.


    Wu Mo heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the elder leave the factory.


    Elder Huang had good things to say at first, but he suddenly started lecturing people.


    Shaking his head, Wu Mo returned to his desk and continued his unfinished study.


    To him, that was just an unpleasant interlude.


    To Chen Yunjin, who had already left, it was an unforgettable scene.


    After the seemingly ordinary observation, his self-confidence was dealt a hard blow. Upon leaving, he went straight to the armory''s only library.


    He had pretended to be moved and ready to work hard in front of Elder Huang.


    However, he still harbored a grudge against that guy called Wu Mo in his heart.


    Wu Mo was just an employee of a workshop, but he received double the attention from Elder Huang.


    The elder had even sent him away to talk to Wu Mo alone.


    This made Chen Yunjin extremely unhappy.


    "F*ck, I''ll definitely show you when I get the chance!"


    He clenched his fists in anger and wanted to tear the book before him into pieces.


    If it had not been for Elder Huang''s favor, he would not havee to this ce at all.


    He was there to learn more advanced forging techniques, not to waste time!


    Chen Yunjin''s expression was slightly distorted. When the cksmiths who hade to learn saw him like that, they subconsciously shifted their feet to distance themselves from him.


    On the other side, Wu Mo finished his morning tasks.


    After he left the factory, he nned to have lunch in the cafeteria before going to the research facility to try melting the polyethylene alloy.


    The conversation with Captain Yu yesterday had given him a new idea.


    That night, he entered the forging space and refined a new set of supplementary materials. He wanted to try the vacuum induction smelting method.


    Fortunately, the documents provided by the system were detailed enough. It only took him one night to master the relevant information about vacuum smelting.


    Of course, he had exchanged 500 points for the document that the system providedst night.


    He originally had to look up many academic websites to find this information, and some of the content required knowledge in the relevant fields as a prerequisite.

 Chapter 322 The Method Of Vacuum Induction Smelting

    With the system''s document extraction function, he only needed to pay a portion of the points.


    The system would organize the knowledge he wanted into a document and partially trante it so that he could read it without any obstacles.


    The number of points required was also determined by the difficulty of the document.


    The Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear forging documentst time had cost him a few thousand points.


    Although this function was very convenient, it also required a lot of points as a prerequisite.


    At first, Wu Mo had thought that he would not be able to spend all his points in a short time, but it seemed that he would not be able to spend the remaining points that he had if he continued to use them this way.


    By one o''clock in the afternoon, Wu Mo had already taken lunch and a break in the research facility''s office. He was ready to start the second smelting of the new alloy.


    This time, it was different from yesterday''s morning. Since it was already time for work, when Wu Mo arrived at the huge forging equipment, he found that there were already several people waiting in line.


    Among the people in the queue, there were employees from the mass-production factory and R&D personnel from other departments. ording to the 10-minute time limit for each person, it would probably take an hour for his turn to arrive.


    Stretching his back, Wu Mo first registered his name in the queuing system. Then, he sat down and waited.


    As he sat in his chair and closed his eyes to rest, Wu Mo sorted out the steps he needed to take to smelt the alloy. He wanted to forge the new alloy in one go.


    During this process, the people in front of the forging equipment came and went. It was not until an hourter that his name was announced on the queuing system.


    Wu Mo immediately stood up from his seat when he heard the announcement.


    He sniffed and quickly went to the control panel.


    Wu Mo subconsciously looked behind him and realized that there were more and more people waiting to use the equipment.


    Time was of the essence. Without any hesitation, he took out the materials he had prepared in his Interspatial Ring. At the same time, he inserted his work card next to the control panel and sessfully activated the instrument.


    Ho...


    White smoke rose from the instrument''s exhaust pipe, and then the feeder in front of Wu Mo opened.


    Looking at the dark feeder, Wu Mo immediately threw in the metal and high-molecr polyethylene material. Next, he added several auxiliary materials to help the reaction.


    When he saw the feeder close, he immediately returned to the console and selected the vacuum smelting mode from the interface.


    His actions were witnessed by several staff members who were waiting around him, but they were only a little curious, so they did not question him.


    "I hope I''ll seed this time."


    After adjusting all the values, Wu Mo pressed the instrument''s operation button expressionlessly. The next moment, the huge instrument in front of him made a buzzing sound. It was obvious that an internal reaction had begun.


    The casting instrument was about three meters high, and about two meters wide and thick. In addition to the feeder directly below, the only interactive parts were the left console and therge disy screen above.


    Normally, when the staff in the armory used the machine, the machine would only shake slightly.


    After all, ordinary high-temperature forging did not consume much energy or configuration.


    However, at this moment, the instrument was not only shaking continuously, but it was also constantly producing a buzzing sound, like a leather ball leaking air.


    The unusual movement attracted many people around him. Those who were waiting in line were also surprised to see this situation.<novelnext></novelnext>


    They were all regr customers of the research facility, so they knew most of the equipment like the back of their hands.


    Yet, the forging equipment in front of them, which had been working normally for God knows how many days, had suddenly be restless. It was really strange.


    "What''s going on? Why is the forging apparatus making such a big noise?"


    "Hurry up and get Master Liu toe over and check if the forging apparatus is broken."


    "I noticed that the instrument seems to be in the vacuum smelting mode. Who is that young man?"


    "What kind of materials is he forging? They''re actually making such a big scene!!"


    The people around began talking at once. Among them were young people who were only over 30 years old, and old men with gray hair who had worked hard for decades.


    Right then, they were all looking at the device that was making the strange noise, not knowing what was happening.


    "Move, move. You guys are blocking the way and affecting the instrument''s heat dissipation. How can there be no problems?"


    Just as the crowd was discussing, an ear-piercing sound suddenly came from behind. Many people immediately turned around and saw two men walking quickly toward them.


    "Master Liu, please take a look. The forging apparatus is our research facility''s treasure. If there''s really a problem, the Research and Development Department will definitely be implicated," the middle-aged man who was walking in front immediately said to the man in the blue coat after scolding the people around him.


    Everyone looked at the man in blue with a hint of fear in their eyes, and they moved to the sides in tacit understanding.


    The man who was called Master Liu was about 40 years old. He had a handsome face, well-defined features, and a pair of deep eyes.


    At that moment, Master Liu was frowning as he stared doubtfully at the forging apparatus that was making a buzzing sound nearby.


    "Master Liu, is the problem with the forging apparatus serious?"


    The man who had scolded the crowd earlier walked over quickly and asked nervously.


    "Let''s wait and see what caused the problem," Master Liu said in a low voice after a moment of silence.


    He was experienced in repairing modern equipment, but he could not see any problem with the device in front of him, and there was no error on the screen.


    His intuition told him that the abnormality in the instrument was probably rted to the young man in front of him.


    "Uh... that''s fine."


    The R&D personnel at the side nodded helplessly. Then, as if he had nowhere to vent his anger, he pointed at Wu Mo, who was standing next to the forging instrument''s operation table, and shouted, "You brat, what the hell are you doing? What kind of trash materials did you put in there? If you really broke the forging apparatus, you wouldn''t be able to afford it even if I sold you!!"


    Wu Mo naturally did not seem good. However, he was focused on the new alloy, so he kept his anger hidden.


    Soon, more and more people gathered around. Many people who came to the research facility to work were attracted by the loud buzzing.


    On the other side, the forging instrument that was working on the vacuum melting was alsoing to an end.


    As the work countdown on the screen became shorter and shorter, Wu Mo''s heart was slowly hanging.


    It would be fine if he seeded this time, but if he failed again, he would not be able to find any clues in a short time!


    As if sensing something, the people around them also stared at the loading hole of the forging machine. The buzzing sound became more and more intense, and the moment the countdown on the screen ended, a loud noise suddenly came from the machine.

 Chapter 323 An Unforeseen Event

    Immediately after, arge amount of steam appeared around the forging apparatus, and the tightly shut material feeder below opened with a crack.


    "What exactly is it? It''s causing such a hugemotion!"


    "Could it be material that can be used to forge Legendary-grade equipment? I think this forging machine is about to overload!"


    While everyone was guessing, Wu Mo, who was standing next to the forging machine, had already put on his heat-resistant gloves.


    The moment the instrument''s feeder opened, he took out the substance inside.


    The surrounding steam slowly dispersed from his field of vision, and a light gray metal block the size of a sugar cube was lying quietly in his palm.


    The surface of the metal block reflected a faint luster, and its four corners were extremely well-defined. There were even circr patterns on its surface, as though it was made up of tightly-packed small particles.


    Wu Mo was excited. He subconsciously weighed it in his hand. The metal piece felt light, and he found its weight somewhat unreal. He suddenly felt a touch of joy.


    "It''s done!" he subconsciously muttered to himself before he immediately calmed down.


    The surrounding people only saw a white light sh in front of them, and the metal piece that was originally lying in the young man''s hand disappeared in the next second.


    "What''s the meaning of this?!"


    "How strange. After causing such a hugemotion, you only made that tiny little thing?"


    Seeing that Wu Mo was done, the R&D staff immediately shouted, "Hurry up and hand it over. Did you add something to the materials? Otherwise, the forging apparatus wouldn''t have made such a big noise!"


    Master Liu, who was standing at the side, looked at the instrument that had stopped working in surprise.


    He already had an idea. He could now conclude that Wu Mo was the cause of the abnormality in the machine.


    Therefore, he did not stop the R&D staff. The rules in the armory were strict. Although the outer shell of the forging instrument was strong and durable, the internalponents for precision were still rtively fragile.


    If someone were to use illegal materials, the internal organs of the instrument would likely be corroded or even destroyed.


    Therefore, for the sake of safety, there was nothing wrong with a routine inspection.


    While the two of them felt that an inspection was not a problem, Wu Mo saw it as creating trouble out of nothing.


    Previously, Wu Mo had gotten angry when he had been reprimanded by the researcher.


    Now, he had finally forged the new alloy but had not even found thetime to test it, so how could he let someone else check such a precious thing?


    Heughed coldly and said in an indifferent tone, "We''re both employees of the military armory. What authority do you have to order me around?"


    He retrieved his work pass from the workbench and prepared to leave.


    However, he had just taken two steps when he was stopped by the researcher, who looked a little upset.


    "Kid, what''s with your attitude?! The forging instrument is an important device in the research facility. I have reason to suspect that you''ve used illegal materials to destroy the device. If you''re sensible, you''d cooperate with the investigation."


    "Otherwise..." Lu Jian from the Research and Development Department said with a dark expression and a threatening tone.


    However, his threatening words were like tickles to Wu Mo. They had no effect on him at all.


    "What a joke. Just because you said I used illegal materials, I have to cooperate with your so-called inspection? Then I have reason to suspect that you stole the instrument''s secretponents. To prove your innocence, you should take off your clothes now and let everyone check them."


    Wu Mo sneered and instantly retaliated with the same method.


    The people who were watching the show were amused by Wu Mo''s words, and some of them could not help butugh.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Haha... You''ve only been at the facility for a few days, yet you have the audacity to talk back to the R&D staff. I''ll make sure you learn the rules of our facility today!"


    The researcher, Lu Jian, was furious. He quickly took out hismunicator and nned to ask the security guards to restrain this guy.


    Master Liu saw that things were not going well and immediately stopped Lu Jian.


    "He''s a neer, so don''t be too angry. I''ll take care of this."


    As he spoke, he took a step forward and stood in front of the young man.


    "In that case... Thank you for your trouble, Master Liu."


    Lu Jian hesitated for a moment. He could not swallow the anger in his heart, but he still had to give Master Liu face.


    After struggling for a moment, he retreated. However, his eyes were still filled with rage when he looked at Wu Mo.


    Seeing that the person on the other side had changed, Wu Mo''s mouth immediately curled into an inexplicable smile.


    "What? Do you want to check my materials as well?" He raised his eyebrows and said unhappily.


    "Don''t misunderstand, Little Brother. My friend was only doing that for the sake of everyone''s interests. After all, a problem with the forging apparatus is no small matter. No one can afford to take responsibility if something really happens," Master Liu promptly exined when he saw the Wu Mo''s clear rejection.


    "If you really don''t want to be examined, you can wait here. After I''ve confirmed that there''s no damage to the equipment, you cane and go as you please."


    Master Liu''s words were sincere, and it did not seem like he was trying to be provocative. After Wu Mo heard him out, he thought for a moment and expressed his position.


    "Alright, go ahead then. But be quick, I still have work to do."


    Since he had not done anything against the rules, it was not a big deal to let Master Liu check the instrument.


    If he continued to be entangled with these people, he would probably waste even more time.


    ...


    In the research facility, Master Liu immediately took out the relevant tools from his bag after obtaining the consent of the young man and began to routinely check the instrument''s operations.


    The people around them watched the scene quietly. In the past, they would be asked to go out in advance for maintenance. Even for the old employees, this was their first time witnessing equipment maintenance on site.


    At the side, Lu Jian saw how the situation had developed to such an extent that the young man saved his face without receiving any punishment. This made Lu Jian extremely unhappy.


    But now that Master Liu was there, he could not do anything.


    He just memorized the young man''s appearance in his heart, thinking that if he had the opportunity to meet him next time, he would definitely make him pay double.


    Soon, their surroundings gradually became quiet.


    Master Liu took out his tool box. First, he dismantled the outer shell of the forging apparatus. Then, he connected the electronic device used for evaluation to the instrument''swork.


    Looking at theplicated disys and various devices inside the forging apparatus, the group dared not even breathe loudly, for fear that the preciseponents inside would be blown away if they were not careful.


    The inspection and evaluation process took about five minutes as various information appeared on the electronic device for evaluation.


    Looking at the data and information that kept appearing on the screen, Master Liu, who was squatting in front of the instrument, could not help but sigh in relief.


    "All functions of the device are normal. There are no signs of damage."

 Chapter 324 Forging The Exoskeleton

    After he said that, Master Liu began to put the outer shell back on the instrument. The people around him breathed a sigh of relief.


    The forging apparatus was one of the eight core pieces of equipment in the development nt. If it was damaged, it would affect the progress of many people''s work.


    Wu Mo could see that the device was fine from the other side, so he did not intend to stay any longer. He did not even say goodbye and directly left through the crowd.


    Looking at the young man''s disappearing figure, the researcher, Lu Jian, appeared a little gloomy. After working in the armory for so long, no one had ever dared to go against him in public except for the leaders.


    He would definitely settle this score in the future!


    Since the matter at the research facility had been properly resolved, the onlookers returned to their own duties.


    By then, Wu Mo had arrived at another area of the research facility, and he was measuring the various values of the polyethylene alloy.


    First of all, he used a hardness testing machine. Although the diamond knife could roughly determine the hardness of an object, it could not give him specific data.


    [The hardness of the material is 87 points. Measurementplete.]


    After a short while, the value of the polyethylene alloy appeared on the device. Wu Mo noted it down in his mind and continued with the next test.


    He was most concerned about how much the alloy weighed per square centimeter because the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear needed to fly at a high altitude. Every 10 grams of its overall weight consumed energy.


    Therefore, to ensure that all of its functions would run normally, Wu Mo needed to make every part of the mobile device light enough.


    Just Wu Mo was thinking, the density-measuring device produced its result.


    He focused his attention on the screen, and a line of numbers immediately appeared.


    [Metal Density: 1.24 -1.31 cubic centimeters]


    "Really... It''s a sess!"


    Wu Mo''s eyes suddenly lit up when he looked at the string of numbers.


    The density of an ordinary alloy with high hardness was at least six points per cubic centimeter. Even light materials that abandoned hardness would not score less than three points.


    Only cksmiths who were extremely familiar with the data of various materials would understand what the string of numbers in front of them meant!


    If a six-star master cksmith had been around, he would have been shocked by the test results!


    Even Wu Mo himself could not believe that he had actually created an alloy with excellent performance in his second experiment!


    He was so excited that he immediately held the polyethylene alloy in his hand and muttered to himself, "With this new type of alloy, the subsequent three-dimensional gears will be able to disy 100% of their effects!"


    After all, the first experiment had already been a sess. He only needed to follow the steps and cast more alloy. After smelting enough alloy, he could officially start casting the exoskeleton armor!


    As for the internalponents and features of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, Wu Mo already had a clear idea. As long as he was given enough time, he would definitely be able to replicate it perfectly!


    Feeling excited, Wu Mo immediately left the research facility and jogged back to his personal dormitory.


    He nned to prepare arge number of the materials needed to forge the new alloy and try to get all the alloys needed for the exoskeleton armor within a week.


    With the Divine-grade Forging Space''s time flow, which was 100 times slower, he could easily achieve that seemingly impossible speed.


    Therefore, in the following morning, Wu Mo checked the Invisibility Armor and Spirit Wave Sword''s quality in the production workshop and registered the sample data on theputer.


    In the afternoon, he would head to the research facility and use the forging apparatus to smelt the new alloy.<novelnext></novelnext>


    After the hugemotionst time, the other staff in the research facility had gotten used to the noises made by Wu Mo in the next few days. In any case, his work was within the instrument''s eptable range, and it would not be damaged.


    They had no right to interfere with how Wu Mo used it.


    For the remaining of his time, he entered the Divine-grade Forging Space and continued to refine the polyethylene, the metals that had an affinity to it, as well as various supplementary materials.


    If he had free time, he would read the relevant documents, so his days were very fulfilling.


    During the week, Academician Xu called him once to ask about his work at the military armory.


    After learning that everything was fine and that the new device was in the development stage, Academician Xu finally felt relieved.


    He also mentioned that he had already contacted Liao Dongcheng. As soon as the third technological breakthrough thesis was published, he would immediately draft a letter of rmendation.


    Once Wu Mo received this news, his enthusiasm surged.


    Every time he was close to exhaustion, he would leave the forging space unwillingly and fall asleep in his personal dormitory.


    To forge the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear as soon as possible, he had also bought spirit potions from the system''s point store many times. It was almost as if he was going all out.


    Time passed in the blink of an eye, and a week had gone by.


    At three in the afternoon, Wu Mo sessfully smelted thest portion of polyethylene alloy.


    He put the alloy that was still steaming into his Interspatial Ring and gently touched the cold outer shell of the forging machine. Then, he put away his work pass and went straight to his office.


    He unlocked the door, pushed the door open, and locked it.


    Wu Mo took off his insted gloves and ced them on theputer desk. He took a deep breath and his eyes gradually stopped on theputer screen.


    The final model of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear appeared on the screen.


    "These materials should be enough to make a one-piece armor. After I sessfully cast the outer shell, I''ll start to process the various devices."


    After determining his goal, he leaned back in his chair and slowly closed his eyes. His mind was still for a moment, and his intuition immediately disappeared.


    As his body became lighter, Wu Mo slowly opened his eyes. In front of him was a chaotic world.


    Only the central working area was emitting a faint white light.


    "Let''s begin!"


    He walked to his work desk and snapped his fingers. The next second, dozens of light gray polyethylene blocks appeared on the table.


    Although there were not many metal blocks, it took Wu Mo an entire week to make them. In order to make the alloy, he had exchanged his points for spirit potions many times.


    If it was not for the huge difference between the smithing dimension and the real world, he probably would not be able to tell which was the real world.


    Being in the forging space for a long time had also caused Wu Mo to have many rted symptoms, one of which was not sleeping well.


    The reason that supported him to work so hard was his original intention to help those disabled cultivators!


    Realizing that he was a little distracted, Wu Mo immediately put on the craftsman handguard and activated the immersive state, ready to cast the exoskeleton armor in one go.


    After calming down, Wu Mo went to the furnace and put in some basic materials to heat it up.

 Chapter 325 The Nervous Lone Wolf

    After all, the alloy''s melting point was rtively high, and to make it, the temperature had to be raised to more than 3,000 degrees.


    The pig iron kept bubbling in the furnace until the impurities were removed. Wu Mo poured it out immediately and then put two pieces of polyethylene alloy into the furnace. He then controlled the fire outlet to increase the temperature.


    The me in the furnace gradually turned from red to orange, and the boiling hot air continued to rise from mouth of the fire, illuminating Wu Mo''s face.


    The temperature was about to reach the alloy''s melting point, and the two pieces of polyethylene had already softened.


    Wu Mo immediately held his breath and continued to throw in the new alloy, intending to melt it all into a liquid state.


    This processsted for about 10 minutes. With his exquisite temperature control, the alloy turned into molten iron and mixed together before the next step of processing.


    After melting the metal, the following step was to cool it down and mold it.


    Wu Mo first poured the dark gray liquid into the crucible. Then, he immediately began to adjust the model. Even though sweat kept dripping from his head, his hands did not slow down at all.


    In the chaotic world that was filled with purple light, Wu Mo stood alone in the work area that was emitting a faint light.


    He was like a statue that would never copse.


    Soon, with the help of the rapid cooling function, the alloy liquid cooled down. Wearing a pair of insted gloves, Wu Mo quickly picked up the crucible and poured the liquid into the casting machine.


    The device started to operate slowly, and Wu Mo finally had a short break.


    He leaned against the worktable and recovered his strength with a calm face. Although his body was extremely tired, Wu Mo''s eyes were shining with excitement.


    A few minutester, he heard a sizzling sound in the quiet forging space.


    Wu Mo turned his head to look at the source of the sound. When he found that the castinghad finished its work, he immediately walked over.


    He opened the lid of the device with some effort, and the shaped alloy te inside was exposed to his sight without reservation.


    Looking at the smooth, light gray polyethylene alloy board, Wu Mo subconsciously knocked on the board with his hand.


    The alloy te immediately produced a crisp ng.


    Seeing this, Wu Mo''s lips curled into a satisfied smile.


    The mold had been sessfully cast, and the next step was to correct the shape and arc, then repeatedly heat up and hammer until the shape was the same as the armor in theputer model.


    This process did not require any superb skills, but it required several thousand rounds of tempering, which took a lot of patience and time.


    However, Wu Mo did notin at all. Instead, he raised Thor''s hammer high and hit the alloy te heavily.


    Sparks flew in all directions, and his sweat scattered. As the number of times the alloy te was heated and hit increased, it shrank again. However, the light on the surface became more solid, as if it could withstand a powerful impact!


    After realizing the gratifying result, Wu Mo hammered even harder. He would only rest when he was close to the limit of his physical strength, to ensure that every piece of alloy te was perfectly tempered.


    Time passed by quickly. In the blink of an eye, it had been more than a month since Wu Mo arrived at the armory.


    In the past month, Wu Mo had experienced confusion, joy, and the gains after his hard work.


    The pain he had to go through in the research and development of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear was something he had never experienced before when he was designing the Invisibility Armor and Spirit Wave Sword.


    Although there were enough materials and many advanced instruments in the armory, the research and forging of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear was also very difficult. Even though Wu Mo had an indomitable academic spirit, things still went through many twists and turns, and it almost ended in failure!<novelnext></novelnext>


    However, although the road of research and development was a little bumpy, the results were still good. After working hard for so long, they could finally see the results.


    In the past few days, Wu Mo had been preparing to find an opportunity to test the various functions of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    On the other side, Lone Wolf, who had been discharged from the hospital, was ready to go to Armory No. 64.


    When he was sick in bed, Wu Mo promised him that he would help him return to the Special Forces in a month!


    In this one month, if it was not for Wu Mo giving Lone Wolf new hope, he would not have wanted to cooperate with the rehabilitation training.


    To Lone Wolf, if he could not return to the Special Forces and continue to serve the federation, then there was no meaning even if he stood up.


    With that said, even with Wu Mo''s promise, Lone Wolf was still very nervous during this period of time.


    Although Wu Mo had shown very reliable strength in the Fifth Research Department for a long time, it was difficult for him to return to his peak strength with his disabled right leg.


    With mixed feelings, Lone Wolf got into the military vehicle heading to the armory.


    Bald Eagle was on a temporary mission from the military, so it could not go with him.


    Looking at the bleak scenery outside the car window, Lone Wolf lowered his head and looked a little helpless.


    He was worried that Wu Mo''s promise to him was just a bubble and that he still could not return to the battlefield.


    At the same time, he was also looking forward to it. He even prayed in his heart, hoping that Wu Mo could really do this seemingly impossible thing.


    The mixed emotions of sorrow and joy made him somewhat neurotic.


    ''You''re already a cripple, yet you''re still hoping for the impossible. This is ridiculous.''


    His eyes were slightly red, and his fists were clenched tightly. He looked unwilling, but he spoke in a self-deprecating tone to the figure reflected in the car window.


    The military vehicle whizzed through the streets, and drizzles fell from the sky, scattered in front of the window, and finally gathered into water droplets, falling in Lone Wolf''s line of sight.


    He struggled for a moment in his heart, but in the end, he sighed softly and calmed down.


    It had been a month since the amputation surgery, and he was used to his iplete self. Even if he saw others running by without any worries, Lone Wolf''s heart would not be really triggered.


    However, there was still a glimmer of hope in the depths of his heart. Now that a month had passed, it was time to let go of that hope.


    "Lord Lone Wolf, we''ve arrived at Armory No. 64."


    While Lone Wolf was deep in thought, the voice of a young cultivator suddenly came from beside him.


    They were two guards who followed Bald Eagle''s orders, and they had been sent from Renhe Medical Center.


    Lone Wolf nodded and immediately opened the door to get out.


    Armory No. 64''s gate came into view.


    On the left and right of the gate were three-meter-high red walls. The words above the arch were magnificent, but because it had not been maintained for a long time, it was weathered and very rusty.

 Chapter 326 Meeting Old Friends

    "You guys don''t have to follow me, I''ll go over by myself."


    Lone Wolf ordered the guard who was getting ready to get off the vehicle behind him. Then, he walked into the factory alone.


    After entering the factory''s gate, Lone Wolf showed the relevant documents and entered smoothly after a routine inspection.


    After passing the checkpoint, he immediately took out his phone and called Wu Mo.


    Within a few minutes, Lone Wolf saw Wu Mo rushing over from afar.


    "Why didn''t you call to inform us before you came?"


    Wu Mo smiled as he walked up to Lone Wolf and patted his shoulder.


    "I was just worried that I''d hold you back from your work. What''s wrong with you? We haven''t seen each other for a month. Why are you so haggard at the military armory?"


    Looking at the unkempt, tired, and bloodshot eyes of Wu Mo in front of him, Lone Wolf was surprised, and he felt his heart ache a little.


    "Haha, it''s nothing. Lone Wolf, I''m already very happy that you managed toe as promised."


    Wu Mo waved his hand, looking very happy.


    "It''s windy outside. Let''s not talk here. I''ve prepared a surprise for you. Come with me and take a look."


    After chatting for a while, he went immediately pulled Lone Wolf in the direction of the research facility.


    Lone Wolf was also a little excited. Seeing Wu Mo''s confident look, his steps became lighter.


    Now that he had thetest artificial limb, although he could not run fast, it was enough for his daily life.


    The two of them walked side by side on the road. Wu Mo instantly noticed the cold artificial limb that reced Lone Wolf''s right leg. He knew that Lone Wolf must have suffered a lot in the hospital since he could walk freely now.


    "Why didn''t Bald Eaglee with you? What is he busy with these days?" Wu Mo asked curiously as they passed by several trucks full of materials.


    "He was nning toe and visit, but two days ago, he received a temporary mission from the military, so he left early."


    Lone Wolf tightened his cor and slowed down his pace.


    He raised his head and looked at the tall building in front of him. After noticing the security guards around him, Lone Wolf immediately realized that the building should be the core area.


    "This is the ce. Let''s go in."


    Wu Mo nodded with a smile and led the way to the entrance of the research facility.


    Lone Wolf followed closely behind, and the two of them went through the security check together.


    Fortunately, Lone Wolf had a Special Forces military service certificate and his rank was high enough, so even without a leader, he and Wu Mo passed the inspection smoothly.


    After entering the thick mist that could block their vision and breath, the two of them entered the interior of the research facility.


    Lone Wolf could be considered to be experienced and knowledgeable. Even though it was his first timeing into contact with such an array, he did not show any signs of panic.


    However, when he opened his eyes and saw the scene before him, the calmness in his body instantly disappeared without a trace.


    All kinds of new andrge instruments were present, and countless steam-transporting pipes converged from all directions.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Therge ck pipeline finally gathered in front of the central control console with superputing power. It went deep underground and retrieved the steam energy from it.


    "How is it? Is it shocking enough? Actually, when I first saw this, I lost myposure even more than you," Wu Mo said with a smile when he saw Lone Wolf open his eyes wide and fall silent for a long time.


    After a long while, Lone Wolf came back to his senses. He looked at the magnificent scene in front of him and listened to the buzzing in his ears. He could not help but exim, "As expected of Armory No. 64. It has such a strong foundation!"


    As he watched the busy workers and the hot,rge-scale casting going on, he felt for the first time that modern technology had such a great influence on the field of forging.


    "Alright, stop sighing. Come over quickly. I''ve already prepared everything," Wu Mo said helplessly and quickly pulled him to an open space in front of the studio.


    In order to facilitate the transportation and instation ofrge instruments, the research facility had reserved several wide roads and open spaces as the locations for the subsequent instruments.


    Recently, Wu Mo had been using these open spaces to build his Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    Since the gear was rtivelyrge, it was not convenient to ce the work stations in the production workshop and the single dormitory, and the Interspatial Ring could not amodate it.


    Therefore, in thest few days, Wu Mo ced the semi-finished Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear here. Since the research nt had an extremely strict security system, he was not worried about the maneuver gear being transported away or leaked.


    He brought Lone Wolf through a dazzling array of instruments and arrived at the open space where the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear was ced.


    Lone Wolf was very excited. He had fantasized countless times about the shape of the thing that Wu Mo had developed.


    Whether it was an advanced medical device, an intelligent device that could help people run, or even an aircraft, he had thought of it. However, the huge object covered in silk in front of him was not in his imagination. When he first saw it, Lone Wolf was even stunned for a few seconds.


    The object covered in cloth before him was about two meters tall and more than one meter wide. From its basic outline, one could see that the object hidden inside must be some kind of precision machinery.


    However, he had no idea what the hidden item was for.


    Wu Mo saw the desire on Lone Wolf''s face and decided not to keep him in suspense any longer. He directly pulled up a corner of the cloth and then suddenly opened it.


    "Take a good look. This is a surprise I prepared for you."


    In the research facility, the moment the cloth was lifted, Lone Wolf immediately widened his eyes, afraid to miss any details.


    As the red silk cloth was pulled away, the huge creature in front of them immediately revealed its true form.


    It was a light gray behemoth that looked like a futuristic product that only appeared in science fiction movies!


    The surface of the object was wrapped in a light gray metal, and through the gaps, he could see the intricate electronicponents inside, as well as the veins that transmitted energy.


    Behind this giant armor, there was a special device the size of a backpack. At the bottom of the device, there were four devices that looked like jet nozzles. The whole thing looked very sci-fi, almostparable to a futuristic armor!


    On both sides of the light gray armor, there were convenient devices for storing various weapons. The armor was streamlined, smooth and clean, it and could even reflect the bright light from the top of the head.


    "This... What is this?"


    Even though Lone Wolf had served in the Special Forces for many years and had seen many cutting-edge technologies in the military, he was still shocked by therge armor in front of him.


    He even stuttered when he spoke.


    Therge armor was like a war machine. Many of the devices even had breathing lights on the surface, which seemed to have unknown functions.


    At first nce, Lone Wolf knew that therge device in front of him would definitely help him return to his peak.

 Chapter 327 The Three-Dimensional Maneuver Gear Is Revealed!

    Even though he was still unclear about the gear''s functions, just by looking at the majestic armor''s appearance and the various devices that were full of a sense of technology, he could see that it was a big deal.


    The sudden appearance of the huge device in the research facility even attracted many staff members around.


    A few days ago, those people had seen how busy Wu Mo was. However, at that time, the thing was covered by a red cloth, so they never got to see what it was.


    During this period, many people thought that there was new equipment in the research facility, which caused many misunderstandings.


    It was just that, no one thought this behemoth had actually been developed by Wu Mo alone. It had such a handsome and dreamlike appearance!


    "Gasp... What the hell is this thing?!"


    "Oh, my God, who is that person?!"


    Gasps of shock could be heard from the crowd.


    Standing in front of the huge device, the originally strong Lone Wolf now looked extremely small.


    "How about it? Do you want to experience it? I didn''t lie to you in Renhe Medical Center!" Looking at the dumbfounded Lone Wolf, Wu Mo immediately walked forward and said with a smile.


    "It''s really unbelievable that you''ve actually created such a powerful item. I''m afraid this can no longer be called equipment!"


    Lone Wolf swallowed a mouthful of saliva and barely managed to recover from the shock. He immediately responded with a happy expression.


    Hearing Lone Wolf''s praise, Wu Mo shrugged. "It might be more appropriate to call it a device. You still don''t know its effects, so don''t be too surprised."


    He walked to the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear and touched the exoskeleton''s alloy te with a loving expression.


    "I spent more than a month to develop the giant device that appeared in front of you. The exoskeleton armor on the surface can withstand the full-force attack of several six-star cultivators. Even the powerful Magic Crystal Cannons can''t easily break through its defense."


    Wu Mo''s face was full of pride as he continued to introduce the item to Lone Wolf.


    "Of course, this isn''t the only effect of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear. It''s equipped with concentrated energy ore inside, which can allow the wearer to run with a person and reach a speed of 100 kilometers per hour without using any physical strength.


    After his brief introduction, the noise around them suddenly stopped, leaving only the buzzing sound of the instruments in the distance.


    The staff members who were watching themotion widened their eyes. They looked at the giant device as if they had just seen a ghost!


    "Oh, my God, this thing can actually carry people and help them run. Doesn''t that mean it''s as fast as a car?"


    "This device should still be able to function in a fight. I can even see the weapon on the right side of the armor!"


    "My God, is this the future of armors? Not only does it have extremely high mobility, but it also has such a strong defense!"


    "Hurry up and inform the leaders. If this thing can be mass-produced, I''m sure that our White River province''s strength can move up in the ranks a little!!"


    Wu Mo sent a few short messages, which immediately caused thousands of waves in the crowd.


    As for Lone Wolf himself, he was so excited that his hands were trembling.


    If thisrge-scale device could really achieve the effect that Wu Mo had described, then even if his legs were broken, he would still be able to disy his peak strength!


    This also meant that he did not need to return to his hometown and be a good-for-nothing who could only rely on the federation''s reward money to survive. He could return to the battlefield and ensure the people''s safety!


    At this moment, all the negative emotions that had umted in his heart for the past month were dispelled. All the inferiority, sadness, and fear disappeared the moment he saw the device in front of him!


    At the same time, the confidence of a soldier on the battlefield and the determination of a Special Forces soldier reappeared in his eyes!<novelnext></novelnext>


    Right then, Lone Wolf also realized that if the gear''s forging technology was mature enough and could be used on arge scale on the front lines, then the soldiers who had to leave the battlefield because of their injuries would definitely be able to go back.


    As a captain of the Special Forces, he knew what the soldiers were thinking.


    No amount of rewards or living allowance was more important than letting them return to the battlefield and protect their homnd!


    Thinking of this, Lone Wolf took a deep breath and gradually calmed down.


    Seeing Lone Wolf''s mood fluctuate, Wu Mo understood.


    Half a month ago, he had also experienced confusion and the feeling of wanting to give up.


    The difficulties he faced and the exhaustion of his body had constantly worn away at his will.


    It was not until the moment the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear was sessfully cast that he felt relieved of a heavy burden.


    At that time, he felt almost the same as Lone Wolf did now.


    "How about it? Do you want to try it? This Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear has other effects. Perhaps you can explore it yourself? " Once Lone Wolf hadpletely calmed down, Wu Mo immediately patted his shoulder and asked with a smile.


    "How do I wear or use this device?"


    Lone Wolf was still a little excited. After hearing Wu Mo''s suggestion, he instantly rubbed his hands and asked curiously.


    "You can''t experience it in these functional rooms. Let''s go outside and try it out."


    Wu Mo immediately approached the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    When Lone Wolf saw this, he quickly followed to help.


    Although he had lost a leg, he still had spirit power.


    After all, the equipment before him was huge to ordinary people. It weighed at least a few hundred catties. Although Wu Mo had a lot of knowledge, he was still an ordinary person. He definitely could not move it.


    However, just as he was about to use his spirit power to "attack," Wu Mo reached out and pressed the chest of therge armor.


    The next second, the armor in front of them produced a series of mechanical sounds.


    Then, the originally two-meter-tall Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear became the size of a washing machine at a speed visible to the naked eye!


    Wu Mo gently lifted the square-shaped instrument, picking it up with ease.


    Seeing this scene, many people''s jaws almost fell off.


    Thisrge machine was as fast as a car, and it had a defense that was even better than that of a tank. How could it be so light that a cksmith could carry it?


    At this moment, Lone Wolf, who was standing at the side, was also stunned for a moment. He could not imagine how such a powerful device could be folded into such a size.


    Moreover, the gear''s quality was beyond anymon sense. It simply shattered his worldview!


    "Don''t just stand there, let''s go!" Wu Mo called out.


    Then, he squeezed through the crowd and walked out of the research facility.


    The Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear had never been tested since it was sessfully forged, and there were many uncertainties, so he had to find its imperfections as soon as possible.

 Chapter 328 Experiencing The Three-Dimensional Maneuver Gear For The First Time

    Lone Wolf''s arrival was a rare opportunity for Wu Mo.


    After all, when he first had the idea of forging the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, his goal was to serve those disabled soldiers.


    If a person with all four limbs were to put on the gear, it would be difficult for them to experience the feeling of being reborn.


    Therefore, Lone Wolf was the best candidate now.


    Over at the research facility in the afternoon, Lone Wolf eagerly followed Wu Moas he saw him carry the gear and walk outside.


    The curiosity of the onlookers waspletely aroused. They all put down their work and decided to follow therge device to see how powerful it was.


    As a result, the crowd that left with Wu Mo gradually increased. This made the staff who had just entered the research facility look at them with a dumbfounded expression.


    Soon, Wu Mo and Lone Wolf sessfully passed through the research facility''s security check.


    Although Wu mo was carrying a huge device, he did not break the rules because he made all the materials used to build the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    The group of people walked straight to an open space not far from the research facility. At the same time, several leaders from the military armory were rmed by this incident, and they rushed over.


    "What''s so urgent? Has someone deliberately destroyed the equipment in the research facility?" a middle-aged man with deep wrinkles on his face subconsciously said when he heard that there was an incident in the research facility.


    "Leader, it''s better if you go and take a look yourself. It''s a bitplicated, and I can''t exin it in a short time," the employee in charge of reporting the matter said with a troubled expression.


    "Don''t panic. Those who can pass the military armory''s security check have to be workers under the military. Everyone has passed the political review, so nothing serious will happen, " Elder Huang said with a calm expression.


    He was much calmerpared to the others.


    A few minutester, the two leaders rushed to the open space in front of the research facility with several men. From a distance, they could see that the open space was surrounded by people who wanted to watch the show.


    Moreover, those people were all familiar faces, and some of them were even the team leaders in the production workshop.ll


    The staff members who used to be conscientious seemed to be possessed at this moment. They did not go to work. Instead, they gathered around as if they were watching a show.


    "Let''s hurry and take a look."


    The middle-aged leader noticed that things seemed to be a little unusual, and his face suddenly changed. He immediately urged several of his subordinates, and they stepped forward to separate the people in front of them who were watching the show.


    The crowd dispersed to both sides, and the two leaders finally saw Wu Mo, who was standing at the center of the crowd and preparing to activate the device.


    However, the most eye-catching thing before him was the light gray armor in front of the young man, which was nearly two meters tall and had a very technological texture. It looked like it belonged to a warrior from the future.


    After seeing the armor''s full appearance, the expressions of the two leaders, who had rushed over, changed.


    The younger leader''s eyes were filled with shock, and the few young men under him were also dumbfounded. They all looked at the huge device in front of them in disbelief.


    Elder Huang, who was standing at the side, had a glimmer of light in his turbid eyes. His wrinkled face was twitching slightly from the excitement.


    Even though he had seen many designs and inventions that could change the structure of the era, therge device before him still moved him.


    Elder Huang''s eyes constantly shed as the warm afternoon sun gently sprinkled down. In the open space that was surrounded by people, Wu Mo stood straight next to the huge gray device.<novelnext></novelnext>


    He was also holding a rectangr remote control device the size of a palm in his hand, and his delicate face had a hint of childishness.


    "At such a young age, he managed to actually develop and cast such aplicated device on his own. This child''s ability is really as terrifying as Wu Yue said!!" Elder Huang muttered to himself in shock.


    At this moment, at the center of the crowd...


    "Wu Mo, how do you activate this device? What do you need me to do?" Lone Wolf asked excitedly.


    Looking at the expectant eyes of the people around him, Lone Wolf was a little anxious. He wanted to quickly give the huge device a try.


    He wanted to see if it could really help him return to his peak strength.


    Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, Wu Mo was worried that this would ruin a good thing, so he did not dy any longer. He immediately handed the remote control in his hand to Lone Wolf.


    "Hold it in your hand, then walk to the device. Just press the button lightly!" Wu Mo ordered in a low voice.


    Lone Wolf instantly nodded. Then, with excitement and anticipation, he quickly walked up to the huge armor.


    Lone Wolf kept praying in his heart as he looked at therge device in front of him, the streamlined shell full of technological texture.


    He hoped that this device could really bring him back to the battlefield and awaken the burning passion that had been sealed in the depths of his heart for a month!


    Thinking of this, Lone Wolf no longer hesitated. Before the expectant eyes of everyone around him, he pressed the button on the remote control in his hand.


    His surroundings instantly fell silent, so silent that even a pin drop could be heard.


    Everyone''s eyes were wide open, afraid to miss something.


    At that moment, the huge device at the center of the open space abruptly produced crisp cracking sound.


    Soon after, the alloy tes that made up the armor seemed toe to life, disintegrating and absorbing Lone Wolf''s body!


    The polyethylene material that was close to the human body was directly embedded in Lone Wolf''s legs, abdomen, chest, and hands as if it had its own thoughts.


    In less than a second, the huge device ced at the center of the open space disassembled, then flew and automatically attached to Lone Wolf''s body.


    All of this happened in a sh. Before the audience could react, the device had already fused with Lone Wolf, as though the two had never been separated!


    If it was not for the fact that everyone around them had seen it with their own eyes, many of them would have thought that they were hallucinating!


    Apart from Wu Mo, who was already prepared, everyone was shocked for a moment!


    Even Lone Wolf, who was used to big spectacles, was a little stunned right then.


    He did not expect the way to wear thisrge device to be so magical. Before he could react, the light gray armor had already covered his entire body.


    What surprised him even more was that after he put the seemingly heavy armor on, not only did it not feel as heavy as he expected, but it was also asfortable as clothes made of silk!


    The feeling of having every part of his body move like an arm was especially wonderful. More shocking was his right calf, which had lost all feeling a long time ago, was now warm to the touch!

 Chapter 329 The Experiment Results That Shocked Everyone

    If one was not sharp enough, one would not be able to notice the difference at all.


    "He managed to produce... such a magical effect?"


    Lone Wolf slowly raised his right hand and looked at his palm that was covered in light gray metal as he subconsciously muttered to himself.


    There were transparent artificial ligaments around each finger bone of his hand that was wrapped in armor. While ensuring various grabbing functions, they also provided a strong defensive ability.


    The level of detail in the design was simply unbelievable.


    After only a few seconds of putting it on, Lone Wolf''s heart was already in a state of shock. Every part of the exoskeleton armor''s design had a touch of human engineering.


    Not only did he feel zero burden when wearing it, but he also became more flexible!


    Under such circumstances, anyone who had the slightest understanding of the forging field would realize how exponentially difficult it would get to research and develop arge-scale device that could provide such flexibility and a close fit.


    Yet, not only had Wu Mopleted it by himself, but he had also achieved a jaw-dropping effect. They could only describe his skills as terrifying.


    Not to mention, this was a military armory. Everyone present was an expert in the field of forging. Even the ordinary employees in the production workshop were as skilled as four-star cksmiths, more so the captains and leaders.


    Therefore, after the people present understood this, they immediately looked at Wu Mo with a strong sense of fear and envy!


    As for the two leaders who had rushed over, their eyes were burning with passion!


    The middle-aged leader had already made up his mind. After this whole thing was over, he would find an opportunity to visit the young man who had forged such a device.


    If possible, it would be even better if he could be absorbed into the group he was in.


    Compared to the young man, his two underlings, who were in their 30s, seemed mediocre. No... There was simply noparison between the two.


    On the other side, Elder Huang was also making his own ns.


    At this moment, he was feeling a little regretful. Previously, he had treated Wu Mo badly and even personally said that he was not interested in his exoskeleton armor project.


    Now, Elder Huang could only pray in his heart that Wu Mo never took the incident from the other day to heart.


    If he lost the opportunity to coborate with Wu Mo because of that incident, he would probably lose sleep over it.


    A day ago, he had thought that Wu Mo was not a talented young man. He never expected him to have such strong skills in research and implementation.


    Even when Wu Mo expressed his desire to study about the exoskeleton, he had no positive expectations. He thought that Wu Mo would focus on his job sooner orter because the project would fail.


    Now, however, it seemed that his prior assumptions and expectations had beenpletely wrong.


    Not only was Wu Mo skilled in forging, but he also possessed an extremely valuable and unyielding academic spirit.


    It was not until this moment that Elder Huang understood why Wu Yue treated him as a treasure. Before Wu Mo arrived, Wu Yue had specifically called and told him not to make things difficult for the boy.


    Thinking of this, Elder Huang could not help but sigh.


    If he had treated Wu Mo as a kind elder would in the beginning, he might have been able to participate in the research and production of the exoskeleton with him.


    It was because of his stubbornness that he had missed out on a project that could rewrite the history of forging!


    Elder Huang bit his tongue and looked at Wu Mo. Then, his eyes gradually dimmed like a deted ball.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Qiu Han, who was standing at the side, noticed that her mentor had such a defeated expression for the first time, and she could not help but feel distressed.


    Her beautiful eyesnded on Wu Mo, who was standing upright. The pride in her heart had long disappeared.


    Qiu Han had initially thought that Wu Mo was just an ordinary person. Even after observing the Invisibility Armor he developed, her opinion of Wu Mo only changed a little.


    At that point, she still felt that Wu Mo was just a small-town cksmith who did not have sufficient forging skills. It took him continuous effort before coincidentally found a path that could be developed.


    However, the device that stood before her now looked like a mecha from the future. It pped her hard in the face and crushed the arrogance in her heart!


    Only now did she understand that there was an insurmountable gap between her and Wu Mo. Whether it was in terms of academic spirit or the ability to solve problems alone, she was inferior to him.


    The moment she realized this, Qiu Han became dispirited. The sense of superiority that she had in the past when she was far more talented than her peers disappeared.


    She examined herself honestly; even if she had the same skills as Wu Mo, it would still be impossible for her to cast such a sophisticatedrge-scale device in a month.


    Not only did he endure repetitive and boringbor that was enough to wear down one''s soul, but he also had to work day and night, sacrificing his rest time repeatedly toplete his creation so quickly!


    Wu Mo, who was in front of her, had done something that was almost impossible to aplish, and it was enough to show his tenacity.


    With a look of shame on her face, Qiu Han took a few steps back in silence and left the crowd with a determined expression as if she had just made a difficult decision.


    On the other side, the self-proimed forging genius, Chen Yunjin''s expression gradually became distorted as he witnessed the scene before him.


    He could not bear the fact that the young man he regarded as an enemy had such an enviable skill in forging research.


    His temples almost exploded, especially when he saw Elder Huang''s self-reproaching and regretful expression!


    He hated it! He hated Wu Mo for taking away the glory that originally belonged to him!


    He was so angry that he wanted to ask the heavens why they were so blind to give such powerful forging skills to someone else and not him!


    How could a young man from a small research institute with no influential background continuously develop powerful equipment? It was simply unfair!


    Although Chen Yunjin was roaring in his heart, he was powerless to change anything. He could not take back what he believed belonged to him!


    Now, Elder Huang was paying extra attention to Wu Mo, and another leader was even more eager to please him.


    He could do nothing but rage.


    This feeling of powerlessness made Chen Yunjin furious to the point that he almost crushed his teeth!


    He came from a prestigious family, and he was one of the best talents among his family''s younger generation. He even became a six-star cksmith in his 30s.


    Before he entered the military armory and learned from Elder Huang, his life had been extremely smooth.


    Originally, he thought that things would run smoothly for him again this time, but that man called Wu Mo repeatedly took his opportunities away!


    Even Elder Huang ended up treating him coldly several times.


    If that were it, he would not have cared too much. After all, no matter how strong Wu Mo was, he was only a five-star cksmith, and he could not cause any trouble.

 Chapter 330 Flying, Mankinds Ultimate Dream!

    Now, however, not only did Wu Mo not y by the rules, but he even turned the tables and brought out such a great killing machine,pletely blocking his path forward.


    How could Chen Yunjin not go crazy?!


    However, it was all toote at this point. As a six-star cksmith, he was even more aware of what therge-scale light gray device in front of him meant.


    Although he was not sure about the exact effect of the device, he knew that his learning trip at the armory was definitely over!


    ...


    Looking at therge device in front of them, everyone had different thoughts, but they all had something inmon with Wu Mo''s strength.


    Wu Mo also took in all of their uncertain expressions.


    "Hurry, give it a try. This Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear can adjust the data of its various dimensions ording to the user''s body shape, ensuring a close fit."


    He did not pay attention to those people, but whispered to Lone Wolf, who was trying to operate the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear to walk.


    Lone Wolf immediately nodded and began his first attempt.


    After Wu Mo''s simple exnation, he gradually understood and epted the fact that the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear could automatically respond to his subtle movements.


    As a result, he moved into a posture of leaning forward out ofmon sense.


    In an instant, the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear carrying Lone Wolf took two steps forward. Its response speed was extremely fast.


    Following the same pattern, Lone Wolf immediately experienced the initial movements such as quick walking, retreating, and raising his hand.


    Although he had nevere into contact with a sophisticated device like the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear before, he quickly mastered a lot of daily movements because of the simple control experience.


    He could even jump, run, and a series of other actions.


    After a simple test, he discovered the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s super mobility.


    His running speed could reach 100 km/H in three seconds.


    Even if he was running at full speed, he could stop in an instant. Moreover, he did not have to bear much inertia.


    At first, he thought that the huge device would beplicated to operate and would not be suitable for most soldiers.


    ? However, after experiencing it, Lone Wolf found that the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear was unexpectedly easy to control.


    It seemed that not only the appearance had been carefully designed by Wu Mo. Even the control system was simple and clear. Even if a soldier didn''t ask questions, he should be able to use it normally for ten minutes.


    The difficulty of getting started was much easier than simple equipment like scooters or bicycles!


    What was even more valuable was that even if Wu Mo used the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear to do intense exercise, his right calf would not feel any pain.


    It should be known that even the most advanced artificial intelligence in the Nine Provinces would have a lot of difort during the fitting period, such as the skin of the contact part being scraped, or the feeling of foreign objects.


    However, the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear that came into contact with the entire body did not have such a problem.


    Although Lone Wolf did not know the principle behind it, he knew that Wu Mo must have put in a lot of effort to ovee these difficulties!


    When he thought about how Wu Mo had discovered and worked hard to solve these detailed designs, his eyes couldn''t help but tear up.


    He had never expected that the problem of disabled soldiers that had troubled the military for so many years, which should have been solved by the White River province''s government, would be solved by Wu Mo alone.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Wu Mo, I really have to thank you this time. With this Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, my strength can be restored by at least 80%!" he said excitedly, the expression on his face unable to contain his joy.


    However, Wu Mo didn''t show much joy when he heard this. Instead, he revealed a meaningful smile.


    "Don''t be in such a hurry to thank me. I haven''t finished giving you a surprise yet!" Wu Mo said in a mysterious tone.


    His words instantly piqued Lone Wolf''s curiosity, and even his expression became very interesting.


    Lone Wolf thought that everything he had experienced was the main function of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear. After all, the super strong defense ability and the high mobility of carrying people had already made this high-tech deviceparable to a mobile turret.


    Even if there were other functions, they shouldn''t have surpassed the two main functions that he had experienced.


    It was a pity that his knowledge of forging theory was not very good. He had no idea what the weapon slots on both sides of the exoskeleton and the meaning of the mysterious backpack on his back were.


    Seeing Lone Wolf''s confused look, Wu Mo immediatelyughed and said, "Press the button on the side of the remote control in your right hand, and you''ll experience the surprise I''m giving you."


    Although Lone Wolf didn''t know what kind of surprise Wu Mo had prepared for him, he still did as he was told and gently pressed the side of the remote control in his hand.


    As he exerted a little force, a clicking sound that only Lone Wolf could hear was heard.


    After pressing the button, he immediately held his breath and focused, preparing in advance.


    Just as Lone Wolf was mentally prepared, the onlookers standing around the open space immediately noticed that a series of blue mes suddenly emerged from the bottom of the backpack behind the light gray giant device!


    The huge thrust from thebustion of energy directly pushed the passenger device off the ground!


    In just a breath''s time, the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear rose from the ground and directly flew three meters into the air!


    Inside the device, Lone Wolf did not expect that this Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear actually had a flying function. Even though he had prepared beforehand, he was still flustered and subconsciously put his hand in front of him.


    The device quickly captured this small movement and directly took him to the distant sky.


    Its flying speed wasparable to that of a helicopter.


    The key was that the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear did not make any sound during the flight process, which simply did not give people any chance to predict in advance!


    The onlookers below were like country bumpkins entering a Grand View Garden. Their views had been refreshed.


    "F*ck", "awesome," and other exmations of admiration rose and fell.


    In the face of such a scene, those people were immediately dumbstruck, their jaws almost dropping to the ground.


    The performance of the giant device could only be said to have surpassed the current development of technology and the field of forging. However, the subsequent performance hadpletely broken throughmon sense, and even the six-star cksmiths could not understand it at all.


    What was the principle behind the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s flight?


    "This... Even Newton''s coffin can''t be pressed down."


    "It can''t be a holographic effect, right? Why does it feel so unreal?"


    "That''s amazing! Is this really an ability that can be achieved by modern forging?!"


    Below, many people began to doubt their lives. They all had the illusion that human technology had developed into a Level-1 civilization without them knowing.


    However, among all the people present, the one who could feel the benefits of flying the most was still Lone Wolf!

 Chapter 331 System Test, The Maneuver Gears Amazing Strength

    Looking at the shrinkingnd and figures of the people below, Lone Wolf felt an indescribable pleasure hit his soul!


    The pores all over his body could not help but open.


    Flying had always been a dream of mankind. From gliders to airnes, technology had always been trying to conquer the sky.


    However, even with the support of spirit energy rejuvenation technology, it was still difficult for modern technology to achieve free flight.


    The hoverboards in sci-fi movies that could carry soldiers in battle were only at the stage of infancy. The fundamental problem of insufficient energy supply had not been effectively solved.


    But now, he was experiencing unlimited flight thanks to Wu Mo!


    With just a simple thought or action, he could freely sprint in the air or move left and right. This was a refreshing experience that he had never experienced before. It even made Lone Wolf feel like he was living in a dream!


    It was as if he had broken through a restraint, giving him an unprecedented sense of freedom.


    Meanwhile, the cksmiths who were watching from below felt as if they had experienced a series of waves in their hearts after witnessing the scene. Their hairs unwittingly stood on end!


    It was hard for them to imagine what kind of reaction was going on inside the huge device to be able to carry people and fly so easily in the air!


    A few of the older elders were so excited that they went weak in the knees and could not stand steadily.


    "It''s hard to imagine what kind of technology is powering this instrument, what kind of material is used for the outer shell, and why it is so light!"


    "The youth are our future. We''re old, and we can''t even understand the working principles of physical equipment!"


    "Let''s report this to the military as soon as possible. I can predict that if thisrge-scale device is mass-produced, it will definitely change things for the White River Province!" the elders eximed in shock.


    They no longer looked as solemn as they usually did.


    However, Wu Mo, who was standing at the center of the crowd, did not take their words and actions to heart at all.


    "Rx. As long as the thought of stopping the flight appears in your mind, the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear will immediatelynd."


    Wu Mo noticed that Lone Wolf had been flying in the air for a while and that he was not showing any signs of descending, so Wu Mo immediately gave him some instructions.


    As soon as he finished speaking, Lone Wolf, who was constantly shuttling back and forth in the air, immediately stabilized his body.


    The jetpack behind him slowly stopped working, and the man sessfully returned to the ground.


    However, Wu Mo''s sharp senses noticed that thending Lone Wolf did not look panicked at all. Instead, it looked like he was still unsatisfied.


    "I thought you wouldn''t be able to embrace it in such a short time," he said with a smile. "I didn''t expect you to adapt so quickly."


    Upon hearing Wu Mo''s joke, Lone Wolf proudly said, "Of course, if I didn''t have a strong body, how could I have gone on those missions ande back alive?


    "But then again, you''ve given me a really big surprise. Being able to fly freely in the sky, not only can I return to my peak state, but I can also y 200% of my role in battle!" he said in a thrilled tone, the excitement in his words overflowing.


    As a peak six-star cultivator, Lone Wolf was very clear about what flying meant in battle.


    If he could enter the battlefield wearing the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear in the future, he would be able to fight without restraint. He would not have to worry about his teammates being out of sync or even the problem of not being able to support them because he was deep in enemy territory.<novelnext></novelnext>


    In the future, even if he encountered cultivators stronger than him, he would have no problem escaping.


    If every Special Forces soldier could be equipped with a Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear in the future, the Special Forces would definitely be able to wipe the opposing army out in one day and go straight to the leader!


    However, a fantasy was still a fantasy. The Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear was so sophisticated that even mass production was extremely difficult, let alone equipping every single person with one.


    There was still a long way to go before he could realize his dream of having one for each individual.


    Even so, the surprise that Wu Mo had given him was definitely worth it. At least, it gave all the disabled soldiers a chance to return to the battlefield!


    The more Lone Wolf thought about it, the more excited he became. He also knew in his heart that Wu Mo had originally developed the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear for those disabled cultivators who had once been on the front lines.


    For this reason, Wu Mo did not hesitate to endure the boring and high-intensity research and development work, and worked hard to develop the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    This could be seen from howfortable the armor was as well as itspact and considerate design.


    Therefore, at this moment, in addition to being excited, Lone Wolf was also extremely touched.


    "Thank you, Wu Mo. We''ll remember everything you''ve done for the disabled cultivators who''ve retired from the front lines!"


    He had to speak sincerely.


    Wu Mo was suddenly at a loss for words due Lone Wolf''s sudden words of gratitude.


    However, after a moment, he returned to his previous yful demeanor and nonchntly said, "It''s nothing. This is what we should do as R&D personnel."


    While the two of them were talking, Elder Huang, who was standing nearby, seemed to suddenly think of something. He immediately walked up to the two of them and said with a serious face, "How can you say it''s nothing? Wu Mo, the device you''re developing has an important strategic significance. I''ll report this to the higher-ups tomorrow. I''ll have them publiclymend you for your research and promote you to a higher rank."


    After he said this, Elder Huang felt that he still had not gotten his point across, so he quickly added another sentence.


    "Thisrge-scale device experiment can''t be taken lightly. How can we end things here? It just so happens that there''s apleteboratory in the Military Armory. We should use professional experimental methods to test the various functions of this device.


    "Wu Mo, I hope you''ll cooperate with us on this."


    Elder Huang was a little worried that Wu Mo would not agree. After all, he hadpleted this precision device by himself and had absolute control over it.


    Even though Elder Huang was the manager there, he could only give suggestions. He could not force Wu Mo to ept the professional tests.


    The middle-aged leader heard Elder Huang''s suggestion and agreed. He felt that this matter was not to be taken lightly. After all, they needed to provide legitimate data, videos, and photos to report this to their superiors and apply for the reward. He hoped that Wu Mo would cooperate.


    What he did not know was that Wu Mo did not care much about the so-called reward. He had already been promoted a while ago, so he was not in a hurry.


    The Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear was his biggest concern. He wanted to know what kind of positive changes it could bring to the White River province in the future.


    After all, this was a treasure that he had spent a month''s time and effort to create. He could not just leave it be after the research and development waspleted.


    Therefore, in order to understand the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s various attributes in advance, Wu Mo did not think too much and directly agreed to Elder Huang''s request for experimentation.

 Chapter 332 Test Field

    "Alright... As long as you''re willing, everything can be discussed. Let''s not dy any further, then let''s hurry up and leave!"


    Seeing that Wu Mo had actually agreed, Elder Huang immediately gave his orders.


    His urgent look made it seem like he was afraid that Wu Mo would go back on his words.


    Lone Wolf also nodded in agreement. His personal experience was, after all, vague and had no exact value.


    Only after aprehensive experiment would he be able to thoroughly understand all the functions of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    Therefore, after a simple discussion, they decided to go to theboratory building immediately. They nned to test all the dimensional values of the Three-dimensional Maneuvering Gear before dark.


    ? However, under normal circumstances, theboratory building was only open to the staff of the R&D Department, and most of the people around who were watching the fun did not have the relevant authority.


    As they watched more than a dozen people escort the huge device into the distance, the people could only leave in disappointment and return to their posts.


    However, on the way back, they were still enthusiastically discussing the possible impact of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear in the future and the principles of some of its functions.


    After all, the weakest among them was a fourth-grade cksmith. They had more knowledge in the rted fields, even though they could not see the test images of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear in the future.


    However, this did not stop them from looking forward to this future mecha-like device.


    Not long after, the originally lively open space outside the research facility had be deserted.


    There were also a few people with rtively idle duties gathered here, tirelessly chatting about their views and opinions on the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    There was still some excitement in their expressions, and their views on the R&D personnel had more or less changed because of this incident.


    Previously, most of the employees in the armory felt that most of the R&D personnel were useless and made very few contributions. Instead, they used their privileges to squeeze their work space.


    However, the scene that happened today hadpletely washed away the fixed views in their hearts.


    However, among the people present, the one with the most emotional fluctuation was the researcher, Lu Jian, who had been hiding in the crowd and did not dare to show his face.


    His face was pale as he looked in the direction where Wu mo had disappeared.


    I didn''t expect that person''s forging ability to be so strong. Even old Huang praised him endlessly. This is bad ...


    Recalling the conflict between him and Wu mo some time ago, Lu Jian''s face turned even uglier.


    At that time, Wu mo was just an unknown neer in the munitions factory. No one expected him to make such a great achievement in just one month.


    He could only hope that Wu mo would be magnanimous and forget about what happenedst time. Otherwise, if Wu mo were to mention it to elder Huang, his position as a R & d worker in the munitions factory would be in danger!


    When he thought of this, he felt even more uneasy. He looked away from the people around him and left in a hurry.


    On the other side, elder Huang brought Wu mo and lone wolf, who was getting used to the maneuvering equipment, to the military-used testing building.


    The testing building was located on the left side of the Arsenal near the gate. It had always been used by the R & d Department alone, and asionally, secret military tests would be conducted.


    There were many professional instruments inside that could measure the urate data of equipment or weapons in various fields.


    Thest time the test building had conducted a full-dimensional test on the equipment was a few months ago.<novelnext></novelnext>


    From this alone, it was clear that the test building had never been opened to the public, and before it could be used, it had to be approved by elder Huang.


    So far, many of the factory''s employees didn''t even know about the existence of the test building.


    "Mr. Wu, the testing building is right in front. Please follow me."


    The middle-aged leader, Cao Jianzhong, who was leading the way in front of the crowd, suddenly turned around and smiled at Wu mo.


    That warm and gentle attitude waspletely different from the angry appearance he had when he rushed over.


    A few senior researchers from the munitions factory were standing around with excited smiles on their faces.


    They were extremely d that their professions could enter the test building and personally witness the test site of the three-dimensional maneuvering equipment. They could witness this historical moment that was enough to shake the world!


    In the crowd, Wu mo nodded his head to deal with the annoying middle-aged leader. Then, he turned around and looked at lone wolf, who was immersed in the three-dimensional maneuvering device.


    Only lone wolf''s head was exposed, and he was smiling with joy. Every time he discovered a new function, his heart would be like a child who had gotten candy, and he would be happy.


    The group quickly arrived at the test building. With elder Huang''s permission and signature, the security guards in charge of the test building immediately opened the door and activated all the test equipment and venue.


    "Elder Huang, everything is ready. We can start the test at any time."


    After turning on thest piece of equipment, an operator in a blue uniform immediately reported the current status with a serious face.


    At this time, all the relevant personnel had entered the test building. In the test building that was eight meters tall and more than 4000 square meters in area, these people standing on the edge of the test field seemed very small.


    Inside the sealed-off testing field, on the left half of the area, there were all kinds of equipment that most people had never seen before.


    On the right side, there was a running track, a shelter area, sand resistance, and various other testing areas.


    These devices and areas could urately measure the various values and abilities of the equipment in all eight dimensions,pletely transforming the dimensions that could only be sensed into data. This would not only allow them to have a clearer understanding of the test equipment.


    They could even discover problems that even the researchers had not noticed.


    However, every test would exhaust the lifespan of the equipment to a certain extent. Therefore, unless the equipment was especially important, the test field would not be opened at all.


    Looking at the various professional areas and equipment in front of them, many people showed a surprised expression.


    Even lone wolf, who was from the Special Forces of the military, was surprised.


    He only knew that the munitions factory had a close rtionship with the military and that they often supplied equipment to the various battle zones. However, he did not expect that there would be a professional testing field hidden in the Arsenal.


    with these tests, I can have a better understanding of this device.


    He gently moved his right leg and felt the feeling of being controlled like an arm. Lone wolf was deeply moved.


    He desperately wanted to return to the battlefield and vent all the sadness and gloominess in his heart during this period of time on those beasts!


    "Then let''s not waste any more time. Let''s start immediately."

 Chapter 333 First Dimension, Equipment Attribute Enhancement Test

    Wu Mo looked at the bright and magnificent test field under the light and urged the rest.


    "Umm... Alright."


    The staff member in blue uniform looked away from Lone Wolf with some difficulty and immediately led Lone Wolf to the firstrge instrument.


    "Please wait outside the test field. Some tests are more dangerous. If you get too close, you might be injured," the security chief immediately reminded Wu Mo when he noticed that he was about to follow them.


    Hearing his voice, Wu Mo, who had just taken two steps, instantly walked back with some regret.


    He had wanted to observe how the gear reacted under different tests at a closer distance, but now, that seemed unlikely.


    If he wanted to know all the data, he could only wait for the final test results.


    "The test will begin now. ording to the armory''s rules, we need to seal the training ground temporarily. Please do not panic."


    Seeing that nothing was out of order, the security chief immediately ordered his men to seal all the entrances and exits of theboratory.


    Usually, the equipment tested there were not ordinary items. If any information leaked out, he could not bear the responsibility.


    Bang!


    Not long after he gave his order, all the doors and windows in the test field were immediately closed, and the security forces outside the building more than tripled.


    Everything was ready. Everyone in the test field''s periphery held their breath and looked at Lone Wolf, who was preparing for the first test.


    Elder Huang''s cloudy eyes were filled with nervousness. Cao Jianzhong, who was standing beside him, quickly ordered his subordinates to bring out the necessary equipment to record the current process.


    Everyone present looked up in anticipation, wanting to see how strong this huge armor was.


    In the 10 minutes that it had been out, they only knew that this Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear could help disabled cultivators move and fight. The entire device could be folded and be light enough to carry. In addition, it had the ability to fly.


    However, its specific battle data was still a mystery.


    Due to these unknown factors that the entire training ground was shrouded in a mysterious and tense atmosphere.


    However, Wu Mo was full of confidence. He looked calmly at Lone Wolf, who was about to begin.


    As the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s inventor, he naturally understood most of the gear''s functions and data. In his opinion, the test was just to give his gear a certain value.


    There was no need to worry at all.


    While everyone was having various thoughts, Lone Wolf, who was controlling the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, arrived before the first test device.


    The first field test was going to test the different attributes bonuses that the gear would provide its user.


    Among the standard weapons and armors, many pieces of equipment could provide the user with more or less attribute support.


    For example, some utilized magic arrays or gemstones to increase the user''s speed or strength.


    As for how many attributes the equipment enhanced, the user could not urately sense it.


    However, therge instrument before Lone Wolf could perform urate measurements. The user only needed to test his speed, strength, and reaction without the equipment first. After a round of tests, the two sets of data would bepared, and a conclusion would be reached.


    As a captain of the military''s Special Forces, Lone Wolf had to undergo a physical skill examination and test almost every three months.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Therefore, after the relevant data was entered, Lone Wolf only needed to test the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear to obtain the enhancement it provided in each field.


    After all, Lone Wolf''s strength had not continued to improve in the months leading up to today, and he had been bedridden for a few months as well. Even if he used data from three months ago, it would still be very urate.


    In fact, he might not even be able to unleash up to 90% of his original abilities.


    Moreover, now that Lone Wolf''s right leg had been amputated, they would unlikely test his speed on the spot. Hence, there was no problem with using the previous data.


    "We''ll start measuring the force of your punch. Please hit the pressure te in front of the equipment as hard as you can."


    After the data was entered, the staff immediately gave the order.


    Lone Wolf nodded. After taking a few deep breaths, he clenched his fists and gathered all his strength, ready to smash the gray pressure board in front of the instrument.


    The spirit energy in his body surged, and all the muscles in his body tensed up. Every cell in his body was desperately releasing energy for him to deliver a punch with maximum power.


    The Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear that sensed Lone Wolf''s series of bodily reactions also immediately made adjustments to perfect the angle of the punch.


    However, all of this happened in a sh. The cksmiths standing outside the test field could only hear the sound of wind breaking.


    Then, they saw Lone Wolf, who was operating the huge device, waving his iron fist and smashing it down.


    Bang!


    They heard the violent sound of metal colliding. A white wave visible to the naked eye traveled from the center and instantly swept the entire test field!


    Lone Wolf''s terrifying strength smashed the hard pressure te cast from a special metal, leaving a several-centimeter-deep pit.


    Sparks erupted from the huge strength tester due to the punch. The LCD screen that disyed the strength value also kept producing static as if it could not withstand the huge impact!


    Seeing this shocking scene, the senior researchers and even the staff at the test site could not help but gasp. They looked as if they had seen something horrifying!


    "How is this possible? The strength test machine''s upper limit is 10 tons of force. Even a seven-star cultivator can''t seriously deform the pressure te! What''s going on?"


    Standing not far away from the crowd, a staff member was shocked as he spoke.


    Even Elder Huang, who was a seven-star cksmith, had not expected such an oue.


    As the highest authority in the Military Armory, he had dealt with countless powerful cultivators. He knew Lone Wolf''s name and his general strength.


    Yet, the power demonstrated by Lone Wolf, who was wearing the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, hadpletely surpassed that of a six-star cultivator.


    Even among seven-star cultivators, there were probably very few who could create a sonic boom with one punch and severely deform the special pressure board!


    What made Lone Wolf so strong all of a sudden was obviously credited to the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear!


    Thinking of this, Elder Huang''s eyes unwittingly widened. His wrinkled and rough hands began to tremble.


    Having managed the Military Armory for decades, he had seen many powerful equipment tests. He had even seen, first-hand, equipment that could improve a person''s hearing by several times and greatly reduce the impact of damage.


    Nevertheless, all the things he had seen before paled in contrast to what was happening in front of him. It would be likeparing the bright moon to rotten fluorescent grass.

 Chapter 334 Astonishing Amplification Effect

    "Phew..."


    Elder Huang''s heart gradually calmed down as he took a deep breath. However, his turbid eyes still carried a trace of disbelief.


    At this time, the test field was so quiet that they could hear a pin drop. Only the sound of heavy breathing and the buzzing of the instrument''s current echoed.


    A few secondster, the strength-measuring instrument seemed to slow down. The memory pressure te also started to return to its original shape.


    However, the staff felt that the recovery process appeared to be several times slower than it had been in previous tests.


    [Strength testpleted. Analyzing the results...


    [Analysisplete. The strength of the tester''s punch is 9.7 tons.


    [Compared to the previous test results, the equipment increased the user''s force by 6.8 tons.]


    The snowy screen immediately disyed the results of the test as the pressure board returned to its original state.


    After seeing that the instrument had returned to normal, the staff members heaved a sigh of relief. However, before they couldpletely rx, their attention was attracted by the numbers disyed on the screen, just like the onlookers just beyond the test field.


    "The device increased his strength by 6.8 tons. Is this really something that can be achieved in our forging era?!" Cao Jianzhong, the armory''s deputy director, eximed.


    The senior R&D staff in the armory looked like they had seen a ghost.


    They had initially thought that mobility was the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s biggest selling point. After all, the fact that it could carry people and fly was ridiculous enough. No one expected this device, which was simr to a mech from the future, to actually increase the wearer''s strength even more.


    How could they exin an increase of almost seven tons of strength?


    It was a domain that only cultivators who had reached the seven-star rank could touch!


    Even Lone Wolf, who was at the peak of six stars and had undergone secret training, only possessed a punching strength of 2.9 tons. He had not gone past the three-ton threshold.


    However, the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear closed this seemingly impossible gap. It was not appropriate enough to describe such a power increase as terrifying!


    Everyone exchanged looks and gazed at Wu Mo with even more respect as well as a hint of fanaticism.


    "Very good. Since the strength increase test is done, let''s continue testing its agility, reaction, and so on," Elder Huang, who was at the center of the crowd, immediately ordered after a moment of silence.


    Hearing that, the tester, who was still in a daze, immediately nodded and agreed. She gestured for Lone Wolf to proceed before she ran to the agility test area.


    Seeing the fear on the staff''s face, Lone Wolf chuckled.


    He was extremely satisfied with the effect of his previous punch. ording to his estimation, the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear had increased his strength by about five times.


    This was much easier than him deliberately training his muscles to improve his strength.


    He had served in the military for so many years and gone through numerous tough training sessions where he almost gave up. In the end, he had only gained less than three tons of punching power and decent physical fitness.


    Compared to the increase brought by the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, it was not worth mentioning at all.


    Thinking of this, Lone Wolf could not help but shake his head. He quickly suppressed the thought of feeling unworthy in the past.


    With light steps, he arrived at the agility testing area.


    The huge armor on his body was akin to a light cloak, and it did not hinder him at all.


    The agility test was different from the strength test. It was divided into a speed test and a reaction test.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Speed, as its name suggested, was a person''s maximum running speed within 100 meters, while agility and reaction could be tested by avoiding obstacles to obtain urate values.


    At this moment, Lone Wolf was standing in front of the specially-made 100-meter track in the gray armor.


    Sensors were installed at the starting and ending points of the runway, and there were tracks, as well as high-speed cameras, on the side to ensure that the test values were urate to 0.01 milliseconds.


    Seeing that the speed test was about to begin, Cao Jianzhong, who was standing in the test field''s periphery, immediately spoke with a serious expression.


    "Record the following process clearly so that our military leaders can see how the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear amplify the wearer''s attributes more realistically!!"


    "Yes, Sir!"


    His subordinate, who was holding a recording device, promptly responded.


    The researchers around them dared not even breathe loudly, for fear of affecting the test and the recording.


    They knew that what was happening before them would cause a huge uproar in the near future. When the time came, a high-ranking military leader might make a trip to the armory.


    As witnesses, they could get interviewed or make public appearances, pretty much rubbing off Wu Mo''s light.


    Once they realized this, the senior researchers had a happy expression on their faces.


    However, Wu Mo, the one who started it all, was frowning slightly at this moment.


    To others, a strength increase of nearly seven tons was already considered incredible. However, it was within Wu Mo''s expectations, and he was even a little disappointed.


    The Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear could help increase so much of the user''s power because it could subtly correct the user''s attack trajectory.


    To achieve the greatest destruction, the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear also had a propeller that could provide explosive power. In an ideal state, producing a punch with seven tons of force was no problem.


    However, behind the super-high strength increase was also energy consumption.


    In its highest performance mode, it could only produce such an attack up to five times. Subsequent attacks would inevitably enter the semi-dormant mode due to insufficient energy until the supply device within the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear was fully charged.


    Earlier on when he was nning the design, Wu Mo had already made ns to prioritize high attack power over endurance.


    Therefore, the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear could produce such a strong attribute increase.


    However, the increase in strength did not reach the standard of Wu Mo''s vision.


    It made him feel that something was wrong.


    Although it was only a power gap of 0.1 tons, it was a sign that there were some internal problems with the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    Thinking of this, Wu Mo made up his mind. He could not end his research and development of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear yet. He still had to repair and improve its energy transmission.


    Just as he settled on this matter, Lone Wolf, who was standing on the special track, bent down into the standard starting position.


    Wu Mo''s eyes flickered, and he carefully observed the speed test that was about to begin.


    Elder Huang, who was standing at the side, also squinted and focused on it.


    The test field was silent. All of a sudden, they heard the pop of a gunshot.

 Chapter 335 Unbelievable

    The people standing on the outside only felt a blur past before their eyes. In the next second, Lone Wolf''s gray figure appeared dozens of meters away.


    Even though they were mentally prepared, many of them were still shocked by Lone Wolf''s speed that surpassed that of a cheetah.


    He was as fast as a phantom, leaving a gust of wind in his wake. The researchers rubbed their eyes, and when they looked again, Lone Wolf was already at the end of the track.


    "Gasp..."


    "What kind of device is installed inside this mobile armor? It actually managed to increase his speed so greatly!"


    "It''s like a dream. With this speed, I''ll be able to escape easily even if I encounter a seven-star cultivator!"


    Seeing that Lone Wolf had disyed such a terrifying speed, the testers who had seen the world could not help but open their mouths slightly.


    Looking at the ring red timer on the sensor, everyone present felt their hair stand on end.


    A numbing feeling like an electric current passed through them. They only felt that the scene that was happening in front of them was so unreal.


    [Speed testpleted. Starting Reaction Time: 0.086 seconds, 100-meter run time 3.71 seconds!


    [Equipped: Reaction time at the start increased by 0.054 seconds, running time reduced by 3.29 seconds.]


    In just a moment, the speed testing machine calcted Lone Wolf''s speed and reaction time when he ran, as well as theparison with the data from thest test in the military.


    It also included secondary data such as the stride length, arm swing frequency, and so on, which made it look very professional.


    Although most of the people present did not know much about running, they knew that it was difficult for ordinary people to reach the 10-second mark in a 100-meter race.


    Even if a cultivator of the six-star rank could use spirit energy to greatly increase the activity of their body''s muscles and cells, they could not shorten this time by too much.


    Lone Wolf''s record of 100 meters per 7 seconds was the best example.


    As strong as he was, a cultivator who could unleash three tons of power in one punch could not reach such a running speed.


    But now, with the help of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, his speed had actually surpassed the fastest running cheetah in nature.


    His reaction speed at the start of the race had also improved significantly!


    In a 100-meter sprint, it was extremely difficult to increase one''s speed by 0.01 seconds, and one''s reaction speed required years of training to improve.


    Seeing this new set of test data, many people could not help but wonder how many functions and attribute boosts were hidden in the seemingly light Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    It even involved reaction speed.


    Even Elder Huang, who was the most experienced and high-ranking, did not know what kind of techniques and forging methods were used!


    Such forging skill that surpassed tens of thousands of people made others feel that the young man standing in front of them, Wu Mo, was so powerful that it was a little unreal.


    "Even Su Bingyue''s best starting reaction time is 0.124 seconds. Could there be dozens of stimnts in this mysterious device? Otherwise, how could it have improved this aspect?"


    "This... This too much of science fiction for us. If we can study this device thoroughly, I''m afraid it''ll be a big step forward for modern science!"


    "How is that possible? The human brain is so precise andplex. Many of its abilities are determined innately. For example, it is very difficult to improve one''s reaction speed, explosive power, and other areas. How did he do it?!"


    Several senior researchers were puzzled, and their curiosity about the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear became even stronger, to the point where they were scratching their heads.


    The equipment set developed by Wu Mo had already surpassed their long-standing values and knowledge.<novelnext></novelnext>


    They were eager to understand the principle behind it.


    However, Wu Mo was still focused on the test, and he did not notice the burning gazes behind him.


    The results of Lone Wolf''s second test were still within his expectations. It was fine this time since there were no problems. The speed increase effect of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear was very obvious, which also met Wu Mo''s high mobility requirements for the gear.


    Looking at Lone Wolf''s confident and eager appearance in the test field, he could not help but smile gently.


    To be able to see Lone Wolf pull himself together again, his hard work for so many days had not been in vain.


    The next agility test was obstacle dodging.


    As the name suggested, Lone Wolf needed to stand in the obstacle test area and avoid small iron balls shot from all angles within a three-minute time frame.


    Each small iron ball was made of high-quality carbon steel, and its surface was covered with white magnesium powder. Once it was stained, it could be easily distinguished by the naked eye.


    The obstacle course was conducted in a confined area of five meters in height and ten meters in length and width. In the beginning, only three balls would be shot at a time, and the speed would not be fast. As time went on, the number and speed of the balls would increase exponentially.


    This square-shaped, enclosed testing area was rtively unfamiliar to the people standing outside the testing area.


    However, to Lone Wolf, all of this was extremely familiar.


    In the military, the Special Forces had to go through aprehensive test every three months, and avoiding obstacles was naturally one of the sections.


    Previously, when he faced the evasion field, he could only persist to the seventh level at most. Even though he trained hard every day in evasion and reaction speed, he was still often hit by the small balls.


    His team members regarded this test as a disaster, and none of them had ever walked away without a scratch.


    "With the help of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, it shouldn''t be a problem to pass the eighth level this time."


    Looking at the pitch-ck firing tubes in the shelter area, Lone Wolf muttered to himself with confidence.


    "Mr. Lone Wolf, we can start now."


    After adjusting the data of the equipment, the girl in blue overalls immediately opened the area gate and reminded him with an unnatural voice.


    "Okay, but I have a request. You don''t have to start from the most basic levelter. Just switch it to the fifth level."


    After blinking his eyes, Lone Wolf walked in without looking back.


    With the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s aid, he would definitely be able to conquer this test today!


    "Umm... Alright."


    The staff member was stunned for a moment, but she quickly agreed.


    Recalling the situation where she had almost been sent flying by the shock wave caused by Lone Wolf''s punch, she immediately became a little nervous.


    At this time, she saw that Lone Wolf had already stood in the center of the obstacle test area. She immediately started the test machine and adjusted the initial test difficulty to the fifth level!


    Not long after she finished her operation, several ck carbon balls were shot out from behind Lone Wolf, and the sound of wind breaking immediately rang out in the test field.


    Lone Wolf, who was already prepared, immediately took two steps to the side to avoid the ball when he noticed the abnormality behind him.


    The small carbon ball missed and hit the ss wall with a ng. It lost its momentum and rolled to the ground.

 Chapter 336 A Wonderful Experience

    "Let''s get on with it. I''d like to see how far my reaction speed has improved now that I''m equipped with the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear."


    The corners of Lone Wolf''s mouth raised into an excited smile as he stared at the several firing tubes on the wall before him with full concentration.


    Outside the test field, the dozen or so onlookers were also nervous. They wanted to know how far Lone Wolf could go.


    Unlike the previous tests, more and more small balls would be shot out from different angles as the test progressed. In a limited space, therger the person''s body, the more disadvantageous it would be.


    Lone Wolf was physically much stronger than an ordinary person. However, with the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, he reached a height of two meters and a width of nearly one meter.


    He would definitely not have the advantage when he faced the concentrated attacks in theter stages.


    Perhaps the final result would be slightly underwhelmingpared to Lone Wolf''s previous tests.


    Just as the few of them exchanged nces, several more whooshing sounds came from the test area.


    This time, the iron balls were aimed at Lone Wolf''s abdomen, shoulder des, and thigh.


    The area of the was muchrger than the first attack. If he wanted to avoid it, he had to move more than 1.5 meters.


    Of course, this was nothing to Lone Wolf, who had received professional training. The moment the three small iron balls shot out, he had already judged their trajectories.


    Without much thought, he dodged them instinctively.


    He exerted some force in his right leg, and his whole body flew out. He then adjusted his position slightly and dodged the attack of the small balls.


    However, this was only a precursor to the storm. The first attack was like a bugle horn.


    As soon as hended on the ground, iron balls shot out from all directions again.


    Their densely packed attack trajectories formed arge suffocating.


    If Lone Wolf had not been injured for a few months he might have found this a little tricky upon seeing it.


    However, with the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear on, he only needed to look at the dense balls. A holographic image then appeared in his mind.


    Soon after, thending point, speed, and the order of each ball''s intersection were already in his grasp.


    There were at least three ways to dodge the seemingly inescapable of attacks.


    "This feeling is really wonderful!"


    Lone Wolf chuckled when he felt so in control of everything. Then, he twisted his waist and easily dodged a row of small balls.


    The sound of the wind whistled past his ears. Without even looking, Lone Wolf immediatelyid down. Then, his left hand gently patted the ground, and his body flew up like a willow catkin.


    Faced with a series of attacks, Lone Wolf''s movements were perfect as if he had practiced it before.


    The white magnesium powder that was wrapped around the balls'' surface did not stain his body at all!


    Seeing this shocking scene, the armory''s deputy director, Cao Jianzhong, who was trying to keep calm, suddenly gasped. He was almost frozen on the spot.


    Such a huge body was actually able to easily dodge all the attacks that were so dense.


    This was no longer a level that could be achieved with the coordination of speed and reaction time!


    After all, no matter how fast one was or how good one''s reaction was, it was impossible to take care of everything when facing more than 10 iron balls from all directions.


    To be able to do what lone wolf had done, the brain''s sense of direction and calction ability must also be very strong. Neither could becking!


    "No matter what, this exoskeleton armor is only a piece of equipment with spirit energy. How can it achieve such multi-dimensional enhancement? It can even directly increase the brain''s intelligence?"


    In the barrier area, Lone Wolf was like a butterfly dancing among the fallen leaves. Cao Jianzhong stared at the ridiculous scene, puzzled.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Although his forging ability and knowledge were not as profound as Elder Huang''s, he was at least among the top three in the entire armory.


    However, everything that was happening in front of him was beyond his knowledge.


    "There are no absolutes. Although equipment that can improve the user''s brainputing power is rare, it doesn''t mean that it doesn''t exist in the world. Although the capital isrge, there is always someone better than us. It''s just that we are not qualified to set foot in that field."


    Elder Huang looked at Lone Wolf, who was testing not far away, with aplicated expression and said earnestly.


    After saying that, he looked at Wu Mo, who was still observing carefully, with a trace of envy in the depths of his eyes.


    Elder Huang envied Wu Mo for stepping into a field that he had never been able to understand at such a young age. He envied him for having unlimited possibilities in the future, for being able to climb to a higher tform and see the scenery further.


    "Sigh, it seems that I''m really old. The future will definitely belong to the young people like Wu Mo."


    He sighed and calmed down, waiting for the test to end.


    Today, Wu Mo had brought him and the entire Military Armory countless surprises, and his threshold for epting new things was getting higher and higher.


    Now, even if Wu Mo said that the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear could burrow underground, Elder Huang would still choose to believe it.


    ...


    Three o''clock in the afternoon, in the barrier testing area...


    Under the attack of the numerous small balls, lone wolf was like a small boat in a storm, floating alone and in imminent danger.


    Outside the testing area, the staff member standing next to the testing instrument had ayer of sweat on her forehead. Just looking at what was happening inside made her feel suffocated, helpless, and nervous.


    Now, the difficulty level had reached the eighth level.


    Ever since she started working, she had never seen anyone who could break through this difficulty.


    Even cultivators of the seven-star rank could not do it without destroying the iron balls.


    The subsequent balls were too fast. No matter how fast they were, it was difficult for them to react and move in a short time.


    However, Lone Wolf, who was in the barrier-blocking area, was busy but not flustered. With the huge exoskeleton armor, he dodged and moved like a slippery loach.


    There was no trace of white magnesium powder on her body.


    At this moment, more than half of the test time had passed. There was only one minute left. In a few seconds, the test instrument would automatically adjust to the ninth level.


    At that time, there would probably be hundreds of iron balls pouring out within two seconds, making people sweat for Lone Wolf.


    Crack.


    In the quiet test field, the sound of an operating lever being moved was heard.


    In the next moment, the barrier testing area no longer shot any small balls, leaving only Lone Wolf gasping for breath.


    Everyone in the test field knew that this was the calm before the final storm.


    "Phew... Huu."


    Lone Wolf panted with difficulty, and his fingertips were trembling slightly.


    The sweat broke free from the tension, gathered into a stream, and flowed into the exoskeleton armor through the gaps.


    However, the padding inside the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear had good function of absorbing sweat and venttion, so it would not affect his performance.


    Even so, Lone Wolf still felt that his physical strength had reached its limit.

 Chapter 337 Test Of Agility, Excellent Score!

    Even if Lone Wolf could barely make it to the ninth level, he probably would not be able to hold on for long.


    Despite that, he was already satisfied. After all, he could not even break through the seventh level before.


    Besides, after all these tests, he had be morepatible with the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, so much so that he had almost forgotten the fact that he was missing a leg.


    Whether it was running, dodging, or performing all kinds of difficult movements, he did not feel any difort in his broken leg. The gear was also extremelyfortable, which was a huge contrast to its heavy appearance.


    Itpletely exceeded his expectations.


    Looking at the firing tubes in the area that were about to be activated at any time, Lone Wolf stood straight in ce, his eyes full of determination.


    The entire test field was filled with a tense atmosphere.


    Time seemed to stop at this moment, but the silence was only temporary. Before he could even take his breath, countless ck balls in the area suddenly shot out like a heavy downpour.


    Whoosh... Bang!


    The sound of the iron ball hitting the wall around the test area was like a pearl falling on a jade te, creating a crackling sound.


    At the same time, Lone Wolf''s body shed. The jetpack on his back was activated, and his whole body rose into the air!


    Then, like a fallen leaf, he flipped andnded on the ground, dodging arge number of attacks.


    However, it was far more difficult to avoid the iron balls on the ninth level than that. Before he could stand still, he heard the sound of wind breaking near his head, shoulders, and back. If he had been dazed for even 0.2 seconds, those iron balls would have instantly hit him, staining his body with magnesium powder!


    Lone Wolf took a deep breath and pounced forward like a fish. The next moment, two small iron balls whizzed past his ears. The ear-piercing sound of wind breaking constantly affected his tense nerves.


    Without any extra time to react, he rolled on the ground, then turned around and stared at the wall. Like a fish, he swam to the other side and narrowly avoided them.


    Yet, the subsequent iron balls seemed to have eyes, forming an airtight from top to bottom, almost blocking all of his escape routes.


    At this critical moment, Lone Wolf did not have the time to think. Under such a terrifying onught, if he used the donkey roll move again, he would have a few white marks on his body when he got up.


    Right then, he gritted his teeth and poured all of his spirit power into his legs at the cost of almost exhausting his entire strength. He took a gamble on escaping the inescapable before the attack arrived.


    At this moment, the audience standing outside the test field could only see Lone Wolf''s body in the form of a light stream. He was so fast that it was almost impossible for the naked eye to lock onto him.


    The girl in front of the obstacle course widened her eyes and stood rooted to the ground.


    Whoosh... Dong!


    Countless iron balls fell to the ground, and the force simultaneously generated almost made the ground tremble.


    A moment after the loud noise, a series of beeping sounds rang out from the instrument.


    Immediately after, all the gun barrels that were constantly firing in the test area stopped working, and the iron balls piled up in the corner were reloaded.


    "Beep... The obstacle avoidance test isplete. You have reached Level 9.


    "User''s physical fitness score in the agility test is excellent!"


    The testing instrument''s electronic voice reverberated in the air above the test field.


    Lone Wolf looked around in a daze. Then, he thought of something and immediately began to check his body.


    After a short while, he found two white magnesium powder marks on the exoskeleton armor that wrapped around his ribs.


    "Even with this, I still couldn''t dodge them?" Lone Wolf said in a helpless tone as he smiled bitterly.


    With heavy steps, Lone Wolf walked out of the obstacle test area.


    Outside the test field, the others looked at him with admiration and disbelief.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Looking at their burning eyes, Lone Wolf scratched his head bashfully.


    "Wu Mo, I didn''t embarrass you in the test, did I?"


    Wu Mo looked at Lone Wolf''s slightly reserved expression. There was no trace of the calm and confident disposition he had during the test.


    Looking at the scene before him, Wu Mo subconsciouslyughed.


    "Not only did you not embarrass me, but you even made me proud. Hurry over here and get some rest."


    Wu Mo walked forward and patted Lone Wolf''s shoulder as he chuckled.


    "That''s great!"


    Lone Wolf nodded heavily and hurried toward the rest area at the side.


    He was met with thunderous apuse when the people on the outside saw how exhausted he looked.


    Lone Wolf''s test provided the military with detailed video information. On top of that, he was the first user to test the exoskeleton armor''s stats.


    His contribution was also worthy of praise.


    "Lord Lone Wolf, please rest for a moment. We will continue testing your explosive power, jump force, step index, and so on. We will need your full cooperation."


    The staff member who had helped with the test earlier quickly walked over to Lone Wolf. After handing him a bottle of water, she gave him a warm reminder.


    "No problem," he said andnodded.


    Then, he unscrewed the bottle and took small sips.


    Although he was incredibly tired, he felt very excited when he thought about the opportunity to continue testing the gear.


    After experiencing a life with all four limbs, he was reluctant to take it off.


    He knew that its subsequent mass production would definitely take some time.


    The exoskeleton armor he was wearing would most likely be handed over to the military for further research after the test. He would not be able to use it on the daily.


    However, he had already survived four months of darkness. To have the hope of returning to the battlefield, it would not hurt to wait a little longer.


    During the break, Lone Wolf and Wu Mo talked about the control and knowledge rted to the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    Although Lone Wolf waspletely clueless about the field of forging, Wu Mo could always break things down and use simple metaphors to help him understand the principles behind it.


    Lone Wolf pped his hands and praised Wu Mo''s creativity several times. He was not only impressed by Wu Mo''s wild imagination but also by his determination to focus and turn his theories into reality.


    As Lone Wolf rested, he also ate something to replenish his strength.


    Meanwhile, Elder Huang and the deputy director, Cao Jianzhong, went out a few times. They seemed to be contacting their superiors.


    As for the researchers, even though their legs were sore from standing, they dared not take a step out.


    They were afraid that without Elder Huang''s verbal order, they would not be able toe back in.


    Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, an hour had passed.


    With an hour''s rest and rxation, coupled with the nourishment of the spirit power in his body, Lone Wolf had recovered most of his physical strength. The original muscle soreness he felt had disappeared.


    He did not dally and chose to start the second half of the test immediately.

 Chapter 338 The Final Defense Test!

    The first test would measure explosive force. The test field utilized the Wingate anaerobic test method, which was recognized by the military to urately measure the explosive force of each muscle group.


    However, since the measurements relied on professional equipment, it was not poprized in test fields of second-tier cities and below.


    Lone Wolf, who was wearing the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, quicklypleted a set of standard tests, and the results were obvious. Compared with his initial set of data, there was an improvement of nearly 30%.


    The following measurements were also carried out steadily, but it was not as visually jarring as the first half.


    It was not until the final defense test that everyone was fully alert.


    This was because in all eight tests, most of thempared two sets of the user''s data to urately measure the exoskeleton armor''s amplification.


    Only the final test of defense would involve the gear itself.


    ording to the management, the equipment or gear would be worn by a cement mannequin, and the staff would strike the equipment several times until the internal cement was subjected to an impact factor greater than the standard value. Then, the test would stop.


    In the Nine Provinces, there was also a strict standard for an equipment''s defensive power.


    Equipment that could defend against a Type 19 domestic rifle was the standard for Rare equipment.


    Only equipment that could defend against the attack of a Tier 2 Magic Crystal Cannon would be considered as excellent equipment.


    Spirit energy shock waves and heavenly rain of fire bullets corresponded to Epic and Legendary-grade equipment respectively.


    As for higher-level defense tests, they could only be conducted in the military headquarters.


    Most cksmiths had a rough understanding of these test rules when they were students.


    The staff on the scene also exined the dangers of the test to Lone Wolf. It was best to let the mannequin wear the gear for the test.


    After all, fire and water were merciless. If they identally hurt Lone Wolf, they would not be able to answer to the military.


    Yet, Lone Wolf, who had already tasted sweetness, was not willing to take off the gear so easily. No matter how he was persuaded, he remained adamant about wearing the gear and undergoing the defense test.


    As such, several staff members were so worried that their hair almost turned white.


    The deputy director, Cao Jianzhong, also stared at him with a bitter face. He was at a loss for words.


    "Forget it. We''ll do as Lone Wolf says. He has extremely solidbat experience, and he''s willing to believe that this Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear can protect him. So, what are we worried about?"


    Elder Huang noticed that they were not making any progress with the test, so he took the initiative to shoulder the responsibility.


    First, he believed in Lone Wolf''s judgment. Second, the previous test had already proven the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s excellent performance. There would definitely be no problem with the current defense test.


    Finally, after Elder Huang spoke, the few staff members had no choice but topromise. They immediately began to adjust the equipment and prepare for the test.


    Near the resting area, Wu Mo saw how much Lone Wolf believed in the gear he had developed and saw how he resolutely chose to test it with his own body on the line.


    He could not help but smile.


    True brothers did not need to brag and make empty promises at a bar. Little acts in their everyday life were enough.


    Wu Mo was highly confident that the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear would meet the legendary standards of the defense test too.


    A month ago, during the initial stages of research and development, he had spent nearly two weeks researching new alloys just for the exoskeleton armor.


    It was for the sake of high protection and lightness.


    High molecr polyethylene was often used in the military to make bulletproof helmets and shields.


    After fusing it with metal, its defensive capabilities multiplied by several times.


    He was confident that even if he was struck once by a seven-star cultivator, the surface of the armor would not be damaged.<novelnext></novelnext>


    The defense test was about to begin, and Wu Mo, as well as the crowd, waited in anticipation as it was being prepared.


    Lone Wolf had already put on the impact force equipment for test and walked into the enclosed area that was surrounded by a Tier 3 defense array.


    The array around the defense test area had been drawn by two seven-star master cksmiths whom Elder Huang had invited when theboratory was first built.


    It was just that when the armory was first established, the material warehouse had constraints. Otherwise, they would have been more than capable of drawing a Tier 4 defensive array with their abilities.


    Even so, the Tier 3 defensive array in the room had an extremely strong defensive power. At least, there had never been any problems with testing the defensive power of Legendary-grade equipment and below.


    "Let''s begin, I''m ready."


    Looking at the rifle''s muzzle sticking out from the gap of the bulletproof ss, Lone Wolf stood straight and spoke with confidence.


    A middle-aged tester in the periphery nodded. Then, he immediately held his breath and focused, aiming the rifle at Lone Wolf''s chest.


    Type 19 rifles were standard equipment of the defense forces in the major cities. It was no problem for them to deal with ordinary criminals and even weaker cultivators.


    The kic energy of a rifle''s muzzle exceeded 80 joules, and it could easily prate human bones. It could even prate non-professional bulletproof vests. It was the best choice to test Rare-grade equipment.


    After all, the existence of guns made sure that an ordinary person''sbat ability was close to that of a cultivator.


    If the equipment tested could not even defend against a gun, it was not worthy of being ssified as spirit energy equipment!


    Soon, everything was ready. Before everyone''s gaze, the staff pulled the trigger without any hesitation.


    Even with the silencers, the moment the rifle was fired, they could hear a muffled sound in the test field.


    At the same time, a special armor-piercing bullet shot out of the muzzle like lightning and instantly hit the light gray exoskeleton armor on Lone Wolf''s chest.


    Dang!


    The sound of a bullet bouncing echoed.


    Lone Wolf lowered his head and looked down with a serious expression.


    There were no marks left on the spot where the bullet had hit the exoskeleton armor, not even a scratch.


    The bullet appeared to be as light as a cotton ball.


    If it had not been for the fact that he was focused, Lone Wolf would not have even felt the impact.


    "The impact force of the rifle''s armor-piercing bullet is 0.7 Pa. The gear meets the standard for Rare grade."


    The staff member looked at the number on the meter and immediately reported the test results.


    "Amazing, 0.7 Pa. I''m afraid even a quail egg wouldn''t break with such protection."


    "From the initial test, we can see that thisrge-scale device will at least have Epic-grade defense."


    "Maybe it has Legendary-grade defense. You''ve all seen it in the previous tests. You can''t measure that device with the ordinary knowledge you have!"


    After they witnessed the results, a few senior researchers immediately started discussing with excitement.


    They were all looking forward to seeing if the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear developed by Wu Mo could reach Legendary-grade defensive power.


    "Continue the testing. Prepare the Magic Crystal Cannon."


    A male staff member took out the rifle and immediately walked toward the warehouse.


    The girl took over the job and began to operate the instrument, aiming the Magic Crystal Cannon mounted on the ceiling at Lone Wolf below.

 Chapter 339 Layer By Layer, Seeking The Limit!

    Lone Wolf still had a rxed smile on his face as he looked at the gorgeous Magic Crystal Cannon embedded in the ceiling.


    Even if he was not wearing any equipment, he could still use his spirit power to block an attack of this level, more so with the strong Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    During the obstacle-avoidance test, the iron balls shot out at a speed that was close to the speed of fired bullets. However, the light gray exoskeleton armor did not just easily protected him, but it also did so to the point that he did not realize that he had been attacked.


    Therefore, Lone Wolf was certain that the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s protective performance was in line with the Legendary grade.


    He stood in ce with ease, ready to receive the baptism of artillery fire at any moment.


    Outside the testing field, the tension in the crowd eased a lot when they saw Lone Wolf''s casual demeanor.


    "The second round of the defense test shallmence."


    Everything was ready, and the staff immediately pressed theunch button on the instrument.


    The next moment, the Magic Crystal Cannon on the ceiling released a burst of intense light. A great amount of energy had gathered in the bore of the cannon, and once it reached the limit, it immediately poured down like lightning.


    The huge energy fluctuations were apanied by a piercing light, causing the people on the outside to wince. What followed was an ear-piercing explosion.


    The shock waves from the explosion rippled through the defensive array.


    However, Lone Wolf seemed totally unaffected and nailed to the ground.


    As the wind raged, Lone Wolf squinted and revealed a confident smile.


    A few secondster, the storm stopped howling, and the shock waves were all absorbed by the defensive array on the wall. Everything settled down.


    Everyone hurriedly looked at the test field, only to see that Lone Wolf was standing in the same spot, unharmed.


    Meanwhile, there was now a pit several centimeters deep and half a meter wide on the t concrete ground in front of him. Around the pit, cracks as thick as little fingers spread out like a spider web, spreading across half the room. They revealed the true power of the Magic Crystal Cannon.


    However, when everyone looked at the exoskeleton armor on Lone Wolf''s body again, there were still no traces of damage. It was so clean that it looked as if it had just undergone maintenance.


    After blowing off the non-existent dust on his body, Lone Wolf excitedly asked the staff beyond the bulletproof ss, "How strong was the impact that I just endured?"


    "That..." The staff member immediately looked at the instrument next to him and said with a surprised look, "The impact force was 3.8 Pa. The gear passes the defense test against the Magic Crystal Cannon."


    After hearing that, Lone Wolf immediately shrugged. "In that case, let''s hurry up and start the next test."


    The researchers outside the testing area could not help but click their tongues when they saw Lone Wolf''s eager expression through the bulletproof ss.


    Lone Wolf was worthy of his captain position in the Special Forces. While the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear had performed well since the beginning of the test, he had also remained calm in the face of such a powerful Magic Crystal Cannon.


    His courage alone was something that no one else there possessed.


    "Special Magic Crystal Cannons are things that even Rank 6 beasts can''t withstand at maximum power. The armor looks like it''s merely a dozen centimeters thick, but it''s still intact after such an attack! What material did he use?" a senior researcher with white sideburns and gold-rimmed sses asked in confusion.


    "It''s so light, yet it has such great defense... I''m afraid it''s made of some special material that we don''t know about..."


    The few of them sighed in their hearts. At the same time, they were full of questions. If they were not in the middle of a test, they would have gone to Wu Mo and asked for an exnation.


    "The third defense test is about to begin. ording to the analysis of the Magic Crystal Cannon''s vibration force of 3.8 Pa, it shouldn''t be difficult for the exoskeleton armor to resist a spirit energy shock wave under normal circumstances!"<novelnext></novelnext>


    The deputy director, Cao Jianzhong, analyzed the data from the previous two attempts continuously and finally came to an uncertain conclusion.


    Defense was a rtively important set of data in equipment. If it did not reach Epic-grade standard, the failure rate would be very high should the exoskeleton armor be mass-produced in the future.


    Therefore, the sess of Wu Mo''stest research and development would depend on the final test of the gear''s defensive power.


    He watched as a tester took out a fist-sized, translucent energy stone from the warehouse.


    Everyone''s hearts were in their throats.


    Spirit energy waves had even more offensive power than Magic Crystal Cannons. Since they had enough explosive damage and arger range of attack, spirit energy waves were widely used in all major battlefields.


    In addition, the cost of the equipment used to trigger the spirit wave was low, and it had a strong resistance against dense beast tides. Therefore, many people working in the armory were familiar with it.


    As long as the energy stone was ced in the trigger device and buried underground, the operator could trigger the device at any time within a five-kilometer radius.


    The internal part of the device would immediately undergo a collision process, and the special energy ball wrapped within would detonate, producing a powerful destructive force and a lightning force field.


    The force field would injure any beast lower than Rank 7. If the beast was lower than Rank 6, it would not even have a chance to scream.


    With its strong prating power and the easy production of the triggering device, the spirit energy wave could be used in all major battlefields, killing many fierce beasts without them realizing it.


    However, the spirit energy wave attack had its limitations. First, it could not be used in the city. Second, the energy ball required to activate the device was huge. Both the armory and military were always in short supply.


    Using such an unadulterated device to test the gear''s defensive ability was pretty much the best approach. Only a truly qualified Epic equipment could survive such a terrifying attack!


    Inparison to the spirit energy waves, the first two tests were like small altercations.


    After all, such a thing could not be controlled after it was detonated. If it was not handled properly and an ident happened, it could really kill someone!


    ...


    Outside the test field, everyone watched the test personnel ce the translucent energy ball into the fist-sized device.


    The entire ce was silent, and everyone''s faces were solemn.


    A middle-aged man in work uniform opened the door to the defense test room and carefully ced the trigger device in the corner of the room.


    After exining the situation and things to take note of to Lone Wolf, he left in a hurry.


    "You don''t have to convince me otherwise. Hurry up and start." Lone Wolf looked at the familiar object in the corner of the room and said with shining eyes.


    In the past, he had always watched such explosions from a few thousand meters away.


    He was now in a "first-ss seat."


    After the staff outside confirmed that the defense array was still operating normally, he immediately took out the controller for the trigger device.


    He then pressed the detonation button with a cautious expression!

 Chapter 340 Did The Test Fail? No, Not Yet!

    The people on the outside subconsciously covered their ears and narrowed their eyes at the same time, for fear that the defensive array would dissipate and fail to hold the damage from the spirit energy waves.


    However, when Elder Huang saw everyone''s reaction, he snorted and ced his hands behind his back with a carefree expression.


    Meanwhile, Lone Wolf, who was standing in the defense test area, also got to witness the "fireworks show " up close, just like he wanted.


    After the device was remotely detonated, it began to emit a faint stream of light, and a few secondster, it exploded violently without any warning.


    The terrifying impact forced Lone Wolf, who was less than five meters away from the center of the explosion, to take a few steps back. The subsequent dazzling purple force field of lightning even plowed through the thick concrete floor.


    Countless pieces of gravel flew and dust filled the air, almost blocking out all visibility inside.


    The space looked like the ruins of war, but Lone Wolf only gathered a little spirit energy to block the gravel that was flying toward his face. That aside, the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear did all the protection.


    "This is awesome! That spirit energy wave had such a high attack power!" Lone Wolf said with a smile on his face as he used his spirit power to smash a rock into dust.


    Outside the test area, the rest heard the sound from the foggy interior travel through the bulletproof ss. Several test staff members looked at each other before they immediately turned on the cleaning device to clear the dust in the air and the gravel on the ground.


    About half a minuteter, the interior of the test area was spotless.


    Right then, everyone discovered that the cracked concrete ground with a pit had disappeared, leaving only some stones and debris.


    A special steel te that reflected cold light was exposed underneath, and it surprised everyone.


    However, when they looked at Lone Wolf again, the surprise in their hearts immediately turned into astonishment!


    They saw Lone Wolf standing alone on the cold steel floor. His hair was blowing loosely in the air and stained with a lot of dust, but the exoskeleton armor he was wearing remained intact.


    With that said, some ck spots had appeared on the light gray armor''s upper abdomen area as if it had been damaged.


    "It''s certainly powerful. It''s no surprise that Mr. Wu''s the one who developed the exoskeleton armor. It''s still intact even after such a close-range bombardment of spirit waves!"


    Looking at the ring ck spots on the armor, Cao Jianzhong, who had wanted to express his love for a long time, instantly praised it.


    The surrounding researchers followed suit and started discussing.


    "Mr. Wu Mo''s attainment in the field of forging is truly admirable. Not only can this exoskeleton armor increase its user''s attributes, but it can also provide such strong defense. It''s pretty much a unique item!"


    "If the military headquarters approves it for mass production in the next few months, the situation in several war zones across the White River province will definitely change. When that happens, the cksmiths of our province will have some face at the year end exchange conference!"


    "Hehe, our heroes are surely among the youngsters."


    Wu Mo''s expression did not change in the slightest as he listened to the senior cksmiths'' praises. He continued to stare at the defense test area with a solemn gaze, making it difficult to tell whether he was happy or unhappy.


    Elder Huang, who was standing at the side, was a little confused too when he saw Wu Mo''s expressionless face and slightly furrowed brows.


    The current test could clearly be considered a perfect sess, so why did he still seem not too happy? But he did appear somewhat different from before!


    Soon after, Elder Huang calmed down.


    After all, Wu Mo was only a young man in his 20s. At this age, his learning speed was incredible, and he would not ept things easily. Of course, he had his own pride as well.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Perhaps the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s defense performance only reached Epic-grade standards, which disappointed him a little.


    Thinking of this, Elder Huang smiled and shook his head. He looked at the sorry-looking Lone Wolf in the distance and softly said, "Wu Mo, you don''t have to pursue perfection too much. You''re still young, and you have plenty of time in the future. There''s no need to stop because of some imperfections.


    "This prototype of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear has already reached an almost perfect level. After the test is over, I''ll definitely be transparent with my report the military. You won''t receive a single point less as your reward."


    As Elder Huang spoke, he patted Wu Mo''s shoulder tofort him.


    Although Elder Huang''s voice was not loud, the people around him heard him clearly.


    When the deputy director, Cao Jianzhong, heard that, he quickly understood that his words of praise had hit the horse''s leg. He closed his mouth and did not say anything more.


    The researchers were also remorseful and fell silent.


    The entire test field returned to its initial calm.


    Sensing the change in the mood of the people around him, Wu Mo sniffed and turned to look at Elder Huang.


    There was a smile on his face, and his expression seemed to be one of enlightenment.


    "Elder Huang, did you think that I was in a bad mood because the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear I developed only has Epic-grade defensive capabilities?" Wu Mo asked.


    Elder Huang frowned, not understanding what Wu Mo meant.


    However, when he saw the smile and relief on Wu Mo''s face, he suddenly realized that he had missed something major in his previous guess of Wu Mo''s mood!


    At this moment, he recalled that Master Liu, who had repaired some equipment more than 20 days ago, had reported something to him.


    Twenty days ago, the forging apparatus in the research facility had shown frequent abnormal signs. It was mainly because Wu Mo had used the forging apparatus for vacuum induction smelting.


    Due to the excessive power output and the setting value being too close to the upper limit, the forging tool entered the high-performance mode and produced many abnormalities.


    Back then, Elder Huang was not too sure why Wu Mo had proceeded with the vacuum induction smelting. After all, people rarely used that mode.


    Only now did he realize that Wu Mo had forged the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear using the vacuum smelting method!


    If he could make good use of the vacuum melting method, he could indeed cast lightweight materials with super high data and strong defense.


    However, vacuum induction smelting also had a weakness; the surface of materials could easily separate from their core essence. After a long time or after being hit, they would start to peel!


    Elder Huang''s expression changed when he realized this, and his cloudy eyes soon lit up!


    "Could it be that the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s exoskeleton isn''t damaged, but the spirit wave only peeled off its surfaceyer?!"


    Staring at the eye-piercing ck spots, Elder Huang suddenly understood everything and cried out!


    After hearing his analysis, Wu Mo immediately smiled and gave him a thumbs up. "You''repletely correct!


    "The Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s armor is actually made of abination of high-molecr polyethylene and metal. It''s ck on its own, but the high-temperature reaction turned its surface light gray!" he exined the initial development process as if he was talking about his family fortune,pletely clearing the doubts in Elder Huang''s heart!

 Chapter 341 The Deadly Weapon, Heavenly Fire Bomb

    After listening to Wu Mo''s exnation, Elder Huang''s eyes lit up a little. He could not stop his wrinkled and dry hands from trembling.


    If everything was as Wu Mo had said, then the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear had not been damaged by the spirit wave device''s bombardment.


    Only the ting on its surface had fallen off!


    At the same time, this also proved that the exoskeleton armor''s defense had long surpassed the standard of Epic grade!


    It might have even reached the Legendary level!


    "Gasp..."


    Thinking of this, Elder Huang''s face was full of excitement. He was even more shocked than when he saw Lone Wolf flying in the air with his own eyes!


    Excellent mobility and the ability to carry people were highly important on the battlefield.


    However, if an equipment''s defense was not good enough, the user would be shot down by enemies or fierce beasts, and his or her life could be in danger.


    Ultimately, the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s internal structure was extremelyplicated, and the cost of mass production would be extremely high. If it could be easily damaged, it would be difficult to meet the equipment standards set by the military.


    In the future, the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear would probably just be used by extremely powerful cultivators. It would not fall into the hands of one-star cultivators.


    Therefore, when Elder Huang saw the ck spots on the armor, he felt really worried for Wu Mo.


    Now, however, after understanding the situation, he felt much more at ease.


    With a defense that surpassed Epic grade, it meant that its durability was up to standard. Thanks to the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s outstanding performance, Elder Huang was almost certain that the military would carry out secret research within three months and put the matter of mass production on the agenda.


    Seeing that Elder Huang''s expression had eased, Cao Jianzhong and a few other R&D staff also had a look of realization on their faces.


    He did not expect the exoskeleton armor to not reach its full potential in the test.


    It was truly shocking!


    Just as everyone was slowly digesting thetest news, the staff outside the defense test area dutifully reported that the equipment had felt the impact of thetest defense test.


    Since the patch that detected the impact value had been ced on Lone Wolf''s chest, the value obtained was incredibly urate. Once the value exceeded 25 Pa, it meant that the equipment would not be able to absorb and block the damage. The user would have to withstand a huge impact and might even sustain a serious injury.


    "The impact force is 10.6 Pa. It has passed the spirit wave defense test."


    The staff member reported the impact value with a surprised look.


    At this moment, Wu Mo''s face revealed a knowing smile.


    "It''s really unbelievable..."


    The security chief was standing at the entrance of the building, which had been sealed off. He looked at Wu Mo in disbelief and could not calm down.


    As the test building''s security chief, he had seen all kinds of people in his years of work.


    There were prodigies who had be six-star cksmiths in their 30s.


    There were also masters in their twilight years who still had drive in their eyes!


    Since he was a cultivator, he had no interest in these various numerical tests. Only the beautiful images of the defense test, which were filled with inexplicable results, could arouse his interest.


    Hence, he had a deep impression of the various equipment defense tests.


    From the small shield that Armory No. 64 developed to therge standard armor that was widely used on the battlefield, there were very few pieces of equipment that could resist the spirit wave attack in his memory.<novelnext></novelnext>


    On top of that, the impact value was almost never below 15 Pa.


    Today''s observation not only gave him a new subject to talk about during tea and mealtime, but it also helped him understand one truth: People who were truly willing to work hard and had talent would never be bound by reality''s various rules and regtions in their thoughts and actions.


    Not only was Wu Mo''s invention far more than just a normal piece of equipment, but it was also more practical than a bunch of the military''s equipment.


    He had never seen anyone who could achieve such a level at such a young age in all his years working in the armory.


    Compared to Wu Mo, Chen Yunjin, who had visited the armory to learn some time ago, was simply too rotten to improve.


    ''You don''t have much skill, but you''re arrogant and self-righteous. Plus, you have a bad temper,'' the security chief cursed in his heart.


    Right then, Lone Wolf heaved a sigh of relief in the test area when he found that the impact value met the standard of Epic equipment.


    He was afraid that the test would stop there.


    Although he knew nothing about forging, he still knew how much a piece of equipment''s defensive power affected it.


    The ck spots that had appeared on his breastte earlier had made him extremely depressed. One should know that the military had extremely high requirements for equipment that was produced on arge scale.


    If the maneuver gear did not even meet the standards of Epic-grade defense, it would not pass the mass production review and help more disabled cultivators.


    Fortunately, the tester finally gave him the answer he wanted to hear, which lifted his heavy heart.


    He lowered his head and subconsciously touched the ck spots on the breastte. After careful observation, he discovered that the spirit energy wave attack from before had only damaged the outer armor''s surface ting.


    "Tsk, tsk, I knew it. The equipment developed by Wu Mo couldn''t be so fragile," he said happily.


    Then, he immediately gave the tester an "okay" sign, indicating that the test could continue.


    The few people outside sighed. They wanted to tell Lone Wolf that thest Legendary-grade defense test was incredibly dangerous and ask him to leave.


    However, when they thought of the stubbornness that Lone Wolf had disyed earlier, they exchanged nces and finally swallowed their words. With that, they began preparations for the final Heavenly Fire Bomb.


    In nearly 100 defensive tests of various sizes, there had been very few pieces of equipment that made it to the Heavenly Fire Bomb.


    Also, because of its high cost and destructive power, even the armory, with its great amount of materials, only had two.


    If it were not for the asional training in the test building, the staff probably would not know how to use the bombs.


    Everyone waited for a moment, and not long after, two staff members brought out thest Heavenly Fire Fomb stored in the warehouse.


    Everyone looked up and saw the two male staff members struggling to lift a silver-white cylindrical object.


    The object was shaped like a missile. From the expressions of the two staff members, it was obvious that it weighed more than 60kg.


    It had to be the so-called Heavenly Fire Bomb.


    Most of the people present could not help but feel nervous when they saw such a huge object being carried out.


    Given the Heavenly Fire Bomb''s size, its explosive power was probably beyond imagination.


    The more powerful something was, the more difficult it was to control.


    Therefore, everyone was worried. If the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear was destroyed during the test, or if Lone Wolf''s life was threatened, how would they deal with it?

 Chapter 342 An Emergency

    Not far away, the tester who was adjusting the test instrument seemed to notice the tension in everyone''s hearts, so he immediately exined, "Don''t worry. Although the bomb is powerful, as long as you spray some agents that can neutralize its reaction, the bomb will quickly be extinguished. Throughout the entire test process, we will monitor the physical condition of the test subject and the condition of the equipment being tested.


    "Once the impact force of the detector exceeds 25 Pa, we will stop the test to minimize any risk to his safety!"


    After hearing the tester''s words, everyone''s tension eased a little.


    Just looking at the Heavenly Fire Bomb''s appearance gave people a strong sense of oppression.


    "The Heavenly Fire Bomb''s structure is special. It was birthed from the fusion of modern technology and forging technology.


    "Its predecessor was the aluminum thermite incendiary bomb. It could produce a high temperature of nearly 3,000 degrees in its range of attack afterunch, and it was extremely lethal in crowded ces." Elder Huang stroked his beard and said with a calm gaze.


    "However, the rampaging beasts'' bodies are protected by a spirit force shield, so the aluminum thermite couldn''t y a role in the beast tide. Later on, several cksmiths from the Military Department improved the aluminum thermite incendiary bomb so that it could emit high temperature and shoot out countless armor-piercing fragments at the same time.


    "Those armor-piercing shards are real spirit energy weapons. They pose a great threat to spirit energy shields and even heavy armor.


    As if he felt that Elder Huang''s exnation was not perfect, the deputy director, Cao Jianzhong, immediately added, "Thus, the modified aluminum thermite incendiary bomb was renamed the Heavenly Fire Bomb. It''s very useful againstrge groups of vicious beasts or against extremely evil cultivators.


    "It''s a pity that this Heavenly Fire bomb is too expensive to make. It''s meant to only be used at the most critical moment."


    Looking at the Heavenly Fire Bomb being moved into the defense test area, Cao Jianzhong appeared rather regretful.


    After hearing this, everyone was suddenly enlightened. They also felt that this test was no small matter. If it was not done well, they might be affected as well.


    In contrast, after Wu Mo learned about the previous and current version of the Heavenly Fire Bomb, he revealed an interested smile.


    ''It seems that before my Spirit Wave Sword was invented, the White River province had already created a precedent ofbining modern technology with forging technology. How interesting. This has provided me with a good idea!'' Wu Mo thought to himself.


    In a short while, the test involving the Heavenly Fire Bomb was ready. The bomb that weighed dozens of kilograms was quietly ced in the corner.


    Lone Wolf shook his shoulders as he stood in the area. He was already mentally prepared.


    "The fourth round, the Legendary-grade defense test, shallmence. All visitors, please retreat to the safe zone."


    After reminding them, the tester immediately pressed the detonation button. Without a second of hesitation, the few of them turned and ran in Elder Huang''s direction.


    Seeing that the testers were on guard, the researchers could not sit still and subconsciously took a few steps back.


    In a breath''s time, only Elder Huang and Cao Jianzhong remained near the test field. Elder Huang was standing with his hands behind his back, while Cao Jianzhong was trembling with fear, not knowing what to do.


    "If you''re too afraid, stand back. You don''t have to force yourself to be here."


    Seeing Cao Jianzhong''s legs start to shake, Elder Huang immediately spoke to him in a bad mood.


    Cao Jianzhong dared not hesitate any longer. He immediately ran to a position 10 meters away, against the wall.


    Even so, he still felt uneasy, and his figure was faintly visible behind the others.


    The faces of the researchers who were used as shields turned green. They were quite critical of the deputy director in their hearts, but because of their superior-subordinate rtionship, they could only keep their grievances in their hearts.


    After a few seconds of chaos, the Heavenly Fire Bomb in the corner of the defense test area reacted.


    The bomb''s shell, which was originally light silver in color, had turned red. It was as if intense heat was beating and brewing inside!


    Witnessing such a scene at this moment, the usually brave Lone Wolf''s heart actually wavered a little. However, he suppressed the strange emotions in his heart after a moment.<novelnext></novelnext>


    He gritted his teeth and fearlessly faced the iing missile that wasparable to a natural disaster.


    In the span of a breath, the Heavenly Fire Bomb''s outer shell could no longer withstand the intense heat produced by the reaction internally. The high temperature instantly corroded the thick steel tes and prated them.


    Countless dazzling rays of light erupted from the bomb, like a terrifying volcano eruption!


    The surging mes instantly blocked Lone Wolf''s entire vision. Right then, it was as if he was facing a tsunami of mes several meters high. He looked extremely weak and lonely!


    Bang!!!


    The sound of the explosion rang out in the test area, and the fire instantly wrapped Lone Wolf''s body. The huge impact caused even the Tier 3 defense arrays around the room to change in color.


    A small amount of energy escaped, causing the area''s temperature to rise.


    Forget Lone Wolf, who was currently wrapped in mes!


    Other than Elder Huang and a few other testers, the majority of the people had never seen a Heavenly Fire Bomb explode at close range.


    The destructive power, which was akin to a meteorite hitting Earth, shocked and left all of them dumbfounded on the spot!


    At this moment, only endless mes were left in the test area. Deafening explosions rang out one after another, and the strong impact caused the specially made bulletproof ss to shake and buzz.


    It was as if it would explode in the next second and melt in the sea of fire.


    As for the situation inside, no one knew at all!


    When confronted with such a scene, Wu Mo could no longer maintain his previous calm state of mind. He pursed his lips slightly and stared at the room without blinking.


    For the first time, his heart wavered a little as he thought about the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s defense.


    Elder Huang was stunned for a moment, but he immediately sobered up and blurted out, "Hurry up and check the impact value."


    The staff at the side picked up the measuring instrument in a hurry and took a look. A series of numbers had already appeared on the disy.


    [Maximum Impact Force: 23 Pa


    [Real-Time Value: 22.8 Pa]


    The few testers were extremely nervous as they looked at the string of numbers before them, which were kind of red in color.


    ording to the rules, the equipment being tested had to withstand continuous damage from the Heavenly Fire Bomb, and the impact had to be within the passing line for it to be considered a sess.


    Now, the Heavenly Fire Bomb had exploded, but even though the broken pieces of its outer shell had been activated, the surrounding temperature was still at its maximum.


    If the equipment being tested failed to withstand the burning and sustained damaged, subsequent explosions would definitely cause the impact value to soar to more than 80 Pa.


    By then, it would be toote to save Lone Wolf.


    Currently, whether or not he used the neutralizing agent to reduce the Heavenly Fire Bomb''s power, he was in an extremely disadvantageous situation!


    "Elder Huang, this..."


    One of the testers saw the urgency of the matter and got ready to exin the situation to Elder Huang.

 Chapter 343 The Dust Settles

    However, just as he opened his mouth, Elder Huang interrupted him.


    "I''m aware of the current situation. At the same time, I realize that Lone Wolf is in a very dangerous position. However, I still feel that we shouldn''t rush to make a decision. Give it a little more time."


    Elder Huang''s voice was low, and his tone was authoritative.


    After the tester heard this, it was as if he had found his backbone. He carried out his duty seriously, no longer getting flustered.


    Everyone''s eyes were focused on the measuring instrument, which was constantly updating in real time, and a series of numbers appeared.


    The test record 10 seconds ago had been 22.5 Pa.


    [Real-Time Record: 22.4 Pa.]


    As the data seemed to improve, the expressions on everyone''s faces gradually changed from solemn to pleasantly surprise.


    If the exoskeleton gear could provide Legendary-grade defense, it would be an advanced development for the entire nine regions country!


    So far, among all the equipment that the White River province''s Military Department had put into mass production, there had never been anything of Legendary grade. Wu Mo would probably be the first to do so!


    While everyone was fantasizing, a muffled explosion suddenly rang out.


    Their hearts dropped, including Wu Mo, who could not remain calm at this moment.


    He felt helpless as he looked at everything that was wrapped in the sea of fire. At the same time, he kept questioning himself.


    Had he truly done a detailed check on the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s level of protection?


    ''Is it really possible for super-high polyethylene and a metal with affinity to it to not melt even from a Heavenly Fire Bomb?''


    He had no prior knowledge of the armor-piercing shrapnel, yet he dared to agree to Lone Wolf''s participation in the experiment. Was that not irresponsible?


    Facing the series of questions that came from his heart, Wu Mo wavered.


    He was too afraid to dwell on it further or look at the sea of fire that seemed like it could burn even the air.


    ''Please be fine. I developed the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear ording to the model and system''s data. There can''t be any problems!''


    Feeling anxious, Wu Mo gritted his teeth, and his face slowly turned pale.


    It was at this moment that he realized hisughable forging ability waspletely insufficient before real military weapon development.


    Regardless of whether it was the spirit energy wave or the Heavenly Fire Bomb, the power they created exceeded his expectations.


    Even with the system''s help, how could he possibly surpass the forging masters in the military in just a few years?


    Wu Mo kept thinking about it, but the more he thought about it, the less confident he became. The more he thought about it, the more he felt sorry for Lone Wolf.


    At the same time, the atmosphere in the test field gradually became heavy.


    Only the staff member who was holding the pressure test period was left chanting in a low voice.


    "Six seconds.


    "Seven seconds."


    Her fingers were already on the test instrument''s remote control. As long as she pressed it gently, the roof would spray out an agent that prevented burning and explosion. It would only take 0.5 seconds to significantly improve the environment inside.


    Although Elder Huang''s expression did not change much, his heart was in turmoil. His fists, which were hidden in his sleeves, were clenched.


    He did not even notice his nails digging into his flesh.


    Time seemed to be moving extremely slowly. It was only a few seconds, but it felt like hours.


    Ten seconds in, the tester quickly pressed the button to release the neutralizing agent before Elder Huang could give any instructions.


    In just a breath''s time, everyone could clearly see that the fire in the test area had died down a lot, and the continuous explosions had also disappeared.<novelnext></novelnext>


    After more than 10 seconds, they finally saw Lone Wolf''s figure again.


    However, at this time, Lone Wolf appeared very disheveled. The originally majestic and light gray exoskeleton armor on his body had turned into charcoal.


    Only the area under the armpits and between the ribs still had some light gray marks.


    As for Lone Wolf himself, he looked like he had just been fished out of a river. Sweat kept dripping from his head.


    When two other testers saw this, they immediately rushed forward and opened the door.


    A gust of fresh air blew onto his face, and Lone Wolf took a deep breath greedily, but he identally choked and coughed violently.


    "Cough cough... To be able to walk out of this d*mn room alive, cough cough... It feels great!"


    He panted heavily, and his face was red from theck of oxygen.


    Seeing his good brother in such a sorry state from so much suffering, Wu Mo suddenly looked ashamed.


    He quickly walked forward and said to Lone Wolf in a self-reproaching tone, "I''m sorry. The truth is, my understanding of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s defensive power isn''t urate. I clearly didn''t have 100% confidence, yet I agreed to let you participate in the test without caring about the danger to your life."


    Wu Mo lowered his head with a guilty expression.


    Due to the self-me in his heart, coupled with the fact that his good friend almost did not make it out because of him, Wu Mo''s mood was extremely low at the moment!


    The researchers behind him felt like there was a fish bone stuck in their throats. They wanted to go forward andfort him, but they did not know what to say.


    When Elder Huang saw the scene, he sighed heavily. It was not appropriate for him to interfere in the affairs of two young people.


    The entire test field fell into silence, and only the sound of Lone Wolf''s breathing could be heard.


    "Gasp... Ha, cough, cough... Hey, Wu Mo, is there some kind of misunderstanding here?"


    Lone Wolf wiped his face and looked at Wu Mo, who was apologizing to him, in surprise.


    "I''m the one who wanted to enter the protected area for the test. You never interfered from beginning to end. How can you shoulder the responsibility for this?


    "I''m just curious," he said grumpily. "I want to experience more Three-dimensional Maneuver Gears. I know all the risks, so you don''t have to me yourself for anything."


    While he spoke, Lone Wolf patted Wu Mo on the shoulder. "Besides, we''re all brothers who''ve been through life-and-death situations together. You''ve managed to help me stand up again, and you''ve been working so hard for thousands of disabled cultivators. I can''t even thank you enough, so why would I me you?"


    As though he thought that the dust on his palm was not evenly spread on Wu Mo''s white shirt, he rubbed his back again and spoke seriously at the same time.


    "It''s just a test. It''s normal for some risk to be involved. Look at me, I''m fine.


    "Let''s not talk about this anymore. That situation earlier was too exciting, and I''ve used up a lot of energy. I digested the bread from before long ago. If you really feel guilty, you can treat me to dumplings in the cafeteria."


    Lone Wolf was like a chatterbox, changing the subject from Wu Mo''s guilt to food.


    His way offorting people and animated movements made a few of the onlooking testersugh.


    The researchers alsoughed cheerfully, and the scene suddenly became lighthearted.


    Wu Mo could no longer be sad as a result.


    He pretended to be disgusted and moved Lone Wolf''s hand that was covered in ck ash away. "You take everything upon yourself. Are you the boss here?" he said in exhaustion.


    After reprimanding him, Wu Mo changed the subject and snorted. "Just dumplings? Eat a big bowl of them, then! It''s on me!"


    "Preach, brother!"


    Lone Wolf immediately gave him a thumbs up and nned to follow Wu Mo to the cafeteria.


    He would have already gone out the door, but Elder Huang and the deputy director, Cao Jianzhong, stopped him.

 Chapter 344 Farewell To Lone Wolf

    Now that the test wasing to an end, all kinds of data reports were uploaded to the military system along with video footage.


    Next, they only needed to wait for the military''s reply.


    Of course, the end of the test also meant that Lone Wolf''s experience with the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear hade to an end.


    "I know you''re reluctant, but the functions of the first Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear aren''t perfect. This test has also exposed many problems with the gear, and I''ll have to modify it in the future," Wu Mo immediately said with a serious face when he saw Lone Wolf''s reluctant expression.


    "But don''t worry, I''llplete these improvements within a month. Once I''m done, I''ll definitely make sure that you''re the first person in White River to be equipped with a Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear. How about it?"


    Lone Wolf lowered his head and touched the surface of the exoskeleton armor, which had some potholes. His heart was full of regret and reluctance.


    However, after hearing Wu Mo''s promise, a knowing smile immediately appeared on his face.


    "It''s fine. I still remember the principle of putting the big picture above all else. I''m just not used to being without it."


    As he spoke, Lone Wolf gently pressed the controller with his hand that was embedded in the armor.


    In the next second, a buzzing sound came from inside the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear. Then, Lone Wolf felt his whole body shake. The armor on his abdomen, chest, thighs, and other parts of his body seemed to be attracted by a special energy, and they actually peeled off from his body.


    He returned to the white tform that Wu Mo had prepared.


    The modules were tightly attached to each other, and together with the tform, they formed a cube about 60 centimeters in length, width, and height. At first nce, it looked a little like a small washing machine.


    Everyone was in disbelief when they witnessed this.


    How could that huge, two-meter-tall armor fold and shrink to such a size in the blink of an eye?


    At the same time, the calmness, litheness, and superhumanputing power disappeared from Lone Wolf''s body. He was in a trance for a moment, and he was not quite used to it.


    In the test field, Wu Mo snapped his fingers and immediately put the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear into his Interspatial Ring. Then, he walked forward and helped Lone Wolf put on his artificial limb.


    The feeling of being beaten back to reality from a beautiful dream made Lone Wolf smile bitterly.


    Earlier on, he had thought of the new-generation artificial limb as a good experience. At least the surface area of contact did not cause him much difort.


    However, after experiencing the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear developed by Wu Mo, he found that the artificial limb simplycked any kind of technological research.


    "It''s easy to go from frugal to luxurious but difficult to go from luxurious to frugal. I''m no longer used to artificial limbs. If I don''t get to use the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear in the future, I''ll hold you responsible."


    Sighing, Lone Wolf stood up from the chair again. He looked at Wu Mo''s harmless and handsome face and spoke with feigned anger.


    "Respected Lord Lone Wolf, I will remember your instructions and do my best."


    Wu Mo chuckled and immediately winked.


    "Alright, stop rambling. Let''s go. I''m so hungry that I''m dizzy."


    Lone Wolf was not in the mood to joke with Wu Mo anymore. He swiftly walked out of the test building.


    Wu Mo quickly followed him, but before he left, he nced at Elder Huang, who was dealing with rted matters. Thetter gave him a reassuring look, so both Wu Mo and Lone Wolf left the test building together.


    On the way to the cafeteria, Lone Wolf seemed worried, and he asked Wu Mo about the modification n in detail.


    Wu Mo could not resist Lone Wolf''s interrogation and could only tell him the improvement idea that had not yet been formed.


    After Lone Wolf understood everything, he nodded in satisfaction.


    He was extremely satisfied with the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, and he hoped in his heart that he would get to use the device as soon as possible.<novelnext></novelnext>


    This was because the Three-dimensional Maneuvering Gear not only allowed him to return to the battlefield with an iplete body, but it also gave him a greaterbat experience and an indescribable feeling of freedom.


    Although he was getting impatient, he was still willing to continue waiting.


    After all, as the saying goes, the good things in life were worth waiting for. As long as Wu Mo''s Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear could be mass produced to help those disabled cultivators, it would not be a big deal for him to y around for a few days before he experienced it again.


    Seven or eight minutester, the two of them arrived at the cafeteria.


    Although it was not their normal mealtime, the two of them still enjoyed a lot of delicious food.


    Among them were the big dumplings that Lone Wolf had been thinking about.


    This farewell "lunch"sted for about 20 minutes. During this time, Wu Mo asked him about Bald Eagle''s current situation.


    Various things had happened, and their friendship had grown much deeper with time.


    The two of them sat in a corner of the dining area in the clean and tidy cafeteria. They talked andughed about the recent events, barely attracting the attention of others.


    Faint white smoke rose from the food on the table, and the bright light above their heads made the atmosphere more rxed and lively.


    "Alright, it''s about time. I should go."


    Lone Wolf picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth as he spoke with a satisfied look.


    "Okay... I''ll send you off." Wu Mo stood up and said.


    "Don''t. Time is of the essence right now. You don''t have the time to do such a thing. It''s more important to quickly fix the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear."


    Lone Wolf immediately waved his hand and refused.


    He had asked Wu Mo to apany him for a meal, but the dy of 20 minutes was already enough to stress him out.


    The sky outside the window was about to turn dark. If they dyed any longer, how could Wu Mo continue his research at night?


    Therefore, Lone Wolf tly refused Wu Mo''s sendoff. After waving his hand, the two parted at the cafeteria''s entrance.


    Wu Mo could not help butugh as he watched Lone Wolf hurry off with light steps.


    A momentter, he took a deep breath and felt reinvigorated.


    Just because the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s prototype had been developed, it did not mean that his work was over.


    On the contrary, his subsequent workload might be even more than before.


    First of all, he had to go back and exin the situation to Elder Huang. He had to temporarily stop his quality-control work in the mass production workshop to make time for the subsequent improvement work.


    Second of all, he needed to use more of the research facility''s equipment, which required Elder Huang''s approval.


    Thinking of this, Wu Mo could not help but pick up his pace. There were less than 40 days left until the new year.


    He also had to set aside a few days to spend New Year''s with his parents and sister.


    This meant that Wu Mo needed toplete the improvements within a month. Only then could he smoothly participate in the exchange conference held by the Nine Provinces at the end of the year.


    As for the rmendation letter and application, he believed that Liao Dongcheng and Academician Xu would help him handle them.

 Chapter 345 The Beginning Of Improvement And Spreading Of News

    Half an hourter...


    At 4.10 pm, Wu Mo left the armory manager''s office with the relevant documents that Elder Huang had given him.


    This time, Wu Mo did not choose to go to the office in the research facility. Instead, he walked directly toward his personal dormitory.


    Since his remaining time was limited, he needed to maximize the use of the Divine-grade Forging Space''s time deceleration function.


    He would make use of every bit of time he had.


    Besides, it was more important to determine the target and n in the early stage of improvement. This way, the advantage of having many high-tech equipment in the research facility would be gone.


    He picked up his pace and returned to the dormitory building in a few minutes.


    During this time, he also bumped into a few of the military armory''s staff members.


    Although they wanted to say hello, they ended up just watching him enter the dormitory building when they saw how he was rushing.


    "Isn''t that Wu Mo? I heard that he developed an amazing piece of equipment and sent it to the test building for experiments."


    "I would''ve never guessed that he would have a high-level of forging skills at such a young age. It''s truly enviable."


    They never saw the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear fly with the rest or the various shocking scenes of the tests.


    However, there were many people in the armory. In less than 10 minutes, the news had spread by word of mouth.


    Something that managed to attract so many people''s attention and curiosity had to be very useful.


    It was a pity that they were not very lucky. They had run into Wu Mo when he was in a hurry, so they did not have an opportunity to strike up a conversation with him.


    With regretful expressions, the few of them left in session.


    By then, Wu Mo had already returned to his single dormitory.


    He first locked the door, then drew the bedroom''s curtains close. Once everything was ready, hey on the bed and slowly calmed his mind.


    As his surrounding senses gradually faded, he fell into a trance. When he woke up again, he was already in the forging space that was filled with chaos.


    Dark purple light swam around him, and aside from the work area at the center, which constantly emitted soft light, there was no end to the rest of the ce. It was so dark that it seemed like it could swallow a person''s soul.


    However, Wu Mo was not in the mood to look at the scenery at this time. He went straight to the workbench and immediately took out the folded Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    He dismantled the modules one by one and prepared to solve all the problems he had encountered so far.


    The problems that he had already discovered were the armor ting falling off easily, the armor unable to resist the intense heat, and the oveplexity of several control designs.


    Of course, the problems of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear prototype were not limited to those listed. Wu Mo would try his best to find more problems and solve them within this month.


    With the knowledge he had now, he was fully capable of making improvements. All he needed now was time!


    After sorting out his thoughts, Wu Mo immediately put on the Craftsman''s Gloves and entered a state of concentration. He then began to solve the current known problems.


    The first was the situation of the ting peeling off, which was one of the shorings of vacuum smelting materials.


    If he wanted to solve this problem, he could only use special casting methods to strengthen the adhesion between the two materials. That way, he could prevent the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear from peeling as a result of strong impact.


    The second type of operational problem might take longer to solve.


    This was because theplexity of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear was far from what it seemed.<novelnext></novelnext>


    There were all kinds ofplicated circuits andponents inside, and there were no less than three types of magic arrays.


    If he wanted to solve the problem of control difficulty and achieve the effect of simplification, he needed to open up more operating space internally and make logical decisions.


    These two problems alone would take at least 10 days to solve. Of course, this was under the condition that he had the Divine-grade Forging Space''s deceleration effect.


    If he were in the real world, he would probably take months to step out.


    This also meant that during this period of time, Wu Mo would have to stay in the Divine-grade Forging Space for at least 12 hours a day.


    If necessary, he would also purchase the spirit energy potions from the system''s Points Store to extend his time there.


    Long-term and high-intensity work could easily wear out a person''s enthusiasm for a field.


    It was also a test of Wu Mo''s willpower toplete everything in a month.


    However, Wu Mo had experienced it before, so he was more or less immune to it.


    In the forging space, Wu Mo held variousponents of various sizes. Sometimes, he would record them in a data book at the side, and other times, he would frown and think hard as if he had fallen into a quagmire that he could not escape from.


    ...


    Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a day had passed.


    For the ordinary, a day''s time was just a repeat of yesterday''s behavior.


    For a scientific researcher, it was also impossible to make progress in a project or research and development.


    However, for Wu Mo, who had the Divine-grade Forging Space, it gave him a new way of thinking and a turning point.


    In the day before, he had spent the equivalent of 39 hours in the real world while he was awake.


    After repeated failures, he gained some experience andprehension in improving the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    At the same time, after a day of brewing...


    The news that Wu Mo had developed a Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear had already spread to all the military organizations in the White River province.


    This included the higher-ups of the Hunter Bureau and City Defense Army of each first-tier city in the White River province, every research institute branch, and the military leaders with positions above brigadier general.


    Even if this matter was immediately ssified as confidential information by the military''s higher-ups, there were still many people with authority who understood the general data and functions of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    The only difference was that the time each organization received the information was different.


    The first to receive the news were the military leaders who had contacted Elder Huang, followed by the brigadier generals of the various military regions and battlefields. After that, the news spread like radiation to all the major organizations under them.


    In just one day, Wu Mo''s name was once again mentioned by many leaders.


    The military even held several meetings within a day to discuss this incident and carry out an evaluation of the cost-to-production ratio, the research and development of certain technologies, and the prospects of technological innovation in other fields.


    The Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear might also have a positive impact on the White River province.


    In short, the military leaders already ced full importance on Wu Mo. They even dispatched two six-star cultivators from the southeastern war zone overnight to secretly protect Wu Mo''s personal safety.


    On the surface, Wu Mo''s project did not cause any stir, but in the dark, major institutions had begun topete and strive toplete more KPI before the new year. When the time came, the military leaders might be happy and give the gear to their institutions.


    Even though everyone knew that the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear had been developed for disabled cultivators, the attributes and functions provided by the device were tooprehensive, so they were all crazy about it.

 Chapter 346 Information Transmission, Stirring Up Thousands Of Waves

    As a result, a war without smoke or fire had begun.


    ...


    At 10.00 am that morning, the senior leaders of the Third Military Region of North China held an emergency meeting.


    The participants consisted ofpanymanders and above.


    When Company Commander Zhang Jianfeng rushed to the meeting room, he was immediately frightened by the serious atmosphere inside.


    Right then, Company Commander Zhang felt even more suspicious as he noticed strange expression on Minister Chu Yi and R&D Director Zheng Shaowei''s faces.


    "Have my menmitted some major crime for them to hold ast-minute meeting of this level?"


    One should know that the two leaders were usually very busy, and they would often disappeared without a trace.


    Yet, the two of them were now sitting in their seats, perfectly fine. It really did not make sense.


    Although he had many questions in his heart, Company Commander Zhang still hurried to his seat.


    He subconsciously nced at Battalion Commander Yang Ming, who was sitting at the head of the table.


    Thetter''s serious expression made him feel a little uneasy.


    A few more minutes passed, and the leaders of various teams arrived one after another. Their positions in the military region were not lower than that of apanymander.


    Basically, all the leaders of North China''s Third Military Region, who were still in the barracks, had arrived.


    Thest time Company Commander Zhang saw such a gathering had been a few years ago, when the front line of the southeastern war zone had an emergency.


    The meeting revealed all kinds of oddities, making most of the people present feel a little nervous. They did not know what had happened.


    A few minutester, when the meeting was about to begin, the battalionmander sitting at the head of the table slowly opened his mouth.


    "The divisionmander has gone to the Eastern Grand Station District for a meeting sincest night, so I''ll hold the meeting on his behalf."


    Battalion Commander Yang Ming swept his gaze across the crowd, his expression serious.


    Upon hearing their battalionmander''s words, the guards who were standing around to protect the leaders immediately closed the meeting room door.


    The entire conference room immediately fell silent, leaving only a few whispers.


    "Battalion Commander Yang Ming, didn''t the divisionmander say that we would be having field training tomorrow? Why did he suddenly go to the Eastern Grand Station District?" a middle-aged man with a square face and a long armband on his shoulders said with a puzzled expression in the meeting room.


    "Yes, that was originally the n." Yang Ming nodded, but then his tone changed, and he said in a regretful tone, "However, there was a special situation yesterday. The divisionmander was invited by the war zone''s leaders.


    "So, yourpany''s field training may have to be dyed for about two days."


    With that, Yang Ming picked up the projector''s controller and gently pressed the power button.


    "Themander asked me to exin to you what happened on his behalf."


    Everyone was still a little confused as they listened to Battalion Commander Yang''s exnation.


    They did not know what had happened and why their divisionmander had rushed to the Eastern Grand Station District overnight.


    However, seeing this situation, Company Commander Zhang, who was sitting not far away, felt a little more at ease.


    At the very least, he had eliminated the possibility of someone among his troops causing trouble.


    Nevertheless, the wariness in his heart grew even stronger. What exactly had happened in the White River province these two days that even the eastern war zone was rmed?


    Note that the entire White River province only had two small battlefields and onerge battlefield. The Eastern Grand Station District represented the highest authority in the White River province.


    As for the higher-level enormous war zone, it was jointly managed by the various forces of the Nine Provinces for development.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Therefore, when themander was invited to the Eastern Grand Station District overnight, they could already catch a thing of two.


    "Ahem... Don''t worry. Before I exin the situation to you, let''s watch a video first."


    Battalion Commander Yang Ming then pressed the remote control in his hand. While he yed the video, he said to everyone in a serious tone, "I''ll tell you in advance that the video I''m ying next wasbeled as ssified by the military''s higher-ups at 5.00 pm yesterday.


    "If anyone here discloses its details, you''ll be brought to the military''s court."


    Yang Ming''s words made everyone present look at each other in dismay.


    A momentter, they tacitly took out theirmunication devices and turned them off.


    The surrounding guards were also on high alert, and they increased their patrol range.


    Seeing that everything was in ce, Yang Ming opened the confidential document that the divisionmander had given him.


    Soon, a clear image appeared on the white projection screen.


    It showed a spacious building with a height of nearly six meters, surrounded by all kinds of unfamiliar instruments.


    In the corner of the screen, there were many unfamiliar faces and some cultivators wearing security uniforms.


    There was also a strange-looking instrument at the center of the image.


    Staff in blue uniforms surrounded the instrument as they checked it.


    At first, everyone was very curious.


    After all, there were many pieces of equipment that they had never seen before. The busy workers all had serious expressions on their faces, as if they were waiting for something.


    The spacious indoor environment, running tracks, and various test sites also aroused their inner curiosity, so they all observed for a while.


    However, after two to three minutes, nothing shocking happened in the video.


    All of a sudden, the military leaders sitting at the table in the meeting room began to frown.


    Although their official positions did not require as much of them as that of the divisionmander, they still had their own jobs and daily tasks toplete.


    If Battalion Commander Yang Ming had not told them that this incident was of great importance and everyone had to participate, they would not have put down all their work and gathered there.


    Very quickly, the quiet meeting room was filled with dissatisfaction.


    Even Company Commander Zhang, who had always been patient, felt a little uneasy at this moment.


    In North China''s Third Military Region, all the soldiers and officials followed the rule of military orders.


    Everypanymander had very heavy tasks on hand, including daily training and weekly tasks that had to bepleted.


    If they were dyed because of this meeting, they would not be able toplete the tasks assigned by their higher-ups.


    The examiners, who woulde for a routine inspection half a monthter, would not care about the excuses they had.


    Therefore, Company Commander Zhang was also a little anxious at this time.


    However, just as he was considering whether he should ask Battalion Commander Yang for instructions...


    The monotonous footage on the white projection screen before him abruptly changed.


    The sudden change attracted everyone''s attention.


    In the corner of the screen, a man in light gray armor was walking quickly toward the test area.


    The metal armor covered the middle-aged man''s entire body, leaving only his head exposed, and his body appeared a little bloated.

 Chapter 347 High-Level Meeting

    When the crowd observed carefully, they were immediately surprised to find that the heavily-armored man''s footsteps were light as if he was not restricted in any way.


    Seeing such a strange scene, Company Commander Zhang and the few people around him immediately sat up straight and stared at the projection screen.


    "Is this a new armor developed by some research institute?" a middle-aged man over 50 with a goatee said in surprise while he held his chair.


    When the people around noticed that Battalion Commander Yang Ming did not stop him, they realized that he was giving them enough opportunities to discuss.


    At that moment, another man, who had a little understanding of the field of forging, said, "Commander of the fourthpany, can''t you see that this is a full-protection armor? The armors produced in White River never have leg protection."


    "Full-protection armor? What do you mean?" a man with sses said. His question voiced the thoughts of the others as well.


    After all, thepanymanders in charge of thepanies were all cultivators who knew nothing about forging, and naturally, they did not understand this professional term.


    It had been 100 years since the spirit energy awakening, and the professional equipment in the military had been updated. Many terms such as guns and bulletproof vests had be memories of the past generation.


    Furthermore, most of them were around 30 to 50 years old. How could they have a professional understanding of the new terms?


    Seeing the confusion on everyone''s faces, the man who spoke earlier immediately exined.


    "The full-protection armor is a piece of equipment that can protect the user''s entire body from the neck to the shoulders, abdomen, and thighs. It''s almost airtight.


    "But although that thing has strong defense, it''s also extremely heavy. Even 100 years ago, only certain military forces that engaged in special work could use something like that."


    The man spread out his hands and had a disappointed expression as if he did not expect them to not even know this.


    "Don''t be so smug. We''re now in the period of spirit energy rejuvenation. Don''t bring up your old and outdated knowledge."


    Someone next to him felt offended and immediately tried to silence him.


    However, the man who had exined earlier did not care. He was fully focused on the young man who was walking toward the staff on the screen.


    "That''s not right. Didn''t you say that the full-protection armor was incredibly heavy? But the man in the video seems to be walking with ease!"


    Company Commander Zhang kept quiet for a few seconds before he voiced the doubt in his heart.


    "Maybe they used some new materials. There are quite a few light materials on the market that can provide good protection."


    Chu Yi frowned slightly and gave an exnation that he thought would work.


    "Be that as it may, if they really used light materials, why would the final product look so bloated? Even if it''s a full-protection armor, it shouldn''t be this thick, right?" the others immediately asked when they saw that themander was interested.


    In North China''s entire Third Military Region, there were probably only two military chiefs who knew more about forging.


    Therefore, if they wanted to solve their doubts, they could only ask Minister Chu Yi for an answer.


    "Since this new armor is one of the military''s secret projects, they must have used technology that we aren''t familiar with. I can''t tell what kind of material it is based on its appearance, but I think we''ll be able to figure it out soon."


    R&D Director Zheng Shaowei, who was sitting beside Chu Yi, had been silent for a while, but he quickly spoke with confidence.


    Seeing that the twomanders could not distinguish anything, the others could only suppress their curiosity and continue to watch patiently.


    Sensing the anxiety in everyone''s hearts, Battalion Commander Yang Ming''s face immediately revealed a smile that had a hidden meaning.


    The video had just begun, and it was not time to surprise them.


    After he finished watching the entire video, which his master had sent himst night, Yang Ming was in a state of excitement the whole night and almost went without sleep.<novelnext></novelnext>


    He was eager to share this news with everyone, but the video and information were ssified.


    Other than all the officers at thepanymander level or above, no one else had a way of knowing this information.


    Yang Ming believed that if anyone else present were present, their excitement would definitely be crazier than his after watching the entire video.


    After all, he was a battalionmander, and had followed his master around the world, so he had seen many things.


    However, one could say that the field of forging was a nk to the vast majority of people who were present.


    The little knowledge he had was only acquired through his daily life.


    How would these people know what kind of changes real top-tier forging technology could bring to real life!


    Thinking back, Battalion Commander Yang Ming pressed the y button without changing his expression.


    On the screen, everyone saw a young man in full-protection armor walk up to a strange instrument.


    As the camera zoomed in, they were able to see the details of the instrument.


    It was an instrument that weighed a few tons, and it was wrapped in iron with many control buttons.


    There was a ck te protruding from the front of the instrument.


    The te was made of an unknown material that was neither gold nor jade. There were also many buffer devices embedded around it, which seemed to y a vital role.


    The man in full-protection armor on the screen chatted with the staff for a while before he shook his shoulders excitedly as if he was warming up.


    Seeing this scene, many of the people present realized that this was probably some kind of test.


    "From the looks of it, this shouldn''t be a research institute."


    "That person seems to be preparing for a strength test, but the device looks different from the one we use."


    Through these two or three minutes of footage, everyone guessed that the man in full-protection armor was unlikely undergoing the test in a research institute.


    "This should be one of the armories in our White River province. Look at the professional testing tools around. It''s very simr to the ce I visited before."


    The man who spoke sounded certain as he pushed up his sses.


    "Why do I find the man in the armor a little familiar?"


    Looking at the side profile of the face in the distance, Company Commander Zhang felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.


    "I advise you to talk less at this time. If you identally miss the exciting part, you won''t have the chance to rey it."


    Seeing the crowd''s endless discussion, Battalion Commander Yang Ming, who was sitting in the main seat, reminded them.


    Hearing the profound meaning behind the battalionmander''s words, everyone immediately perked up.


    Since this video was ssified as a secret project, there had to be something unusual about it.


    Company Commander Zhang could only suppress the doubts in his heart and continue to watch.


    Just as the entire meeting room fell silent again, the man in full-protection armor on the screen immediately clenched his fists.

 Chapter 348 Shocking News

    The man squatted down slightly, and his right footnded on the floor, creating a creaking sound.


    Everyone in the meeting room widened their eyes and held their breath.


    Then, like a cannonball that was shot out of cannon, his fist sted into the pressure te of the test machine in front of him.


    With a sharp sonic boom, the man''s iron fist collided with the pressure board, producing a noise that was loud enough to hurt anyone''s eardrums.


    Bang!


    A violent tremor and impact force erupted at the same time, forming a visible air wave at the center. The terrifying power of the man''s fist poured out, causing the instrument before him, which weighed several tons, to shake violently. The huge force pushed it more than 10 centimeters back!


    The pressure te, which seemed to be made of a special metal, was now unrecognizable and deeply sunken in.


    Seeing this unbelievable scene, everyone in the meeting room was shocked.


    The screen showed that the man''s attack had also caused the windows to shake.


    Its terrifying strength was clear to see!


    Everyone gasped, their faces full of disbelief.


    "Who is that man? One punch actually produced such a destructive force. I feel like his strength has already reached the middle stage of seven stars!!"


    "Not just that. The force of that punch was at least five tons. Unless he''s a peak seven-star cultivator, it''s impossible to achieve such destructive power!"


    Hearing their analysis in his ears, Company Commander Zhang shook his head as he did not agree with their point of view.


    Cultivators who could reach the peak of the seven-star rank were rare in the entire Nine Provinces. One could count the number of cultivators with that rank in the White River province with their fingers.


    Cultivators who had reached that rank would usually guard therge battlefields or be sent to the enormous battlefield.


    It would be impossible for them to have the time to participate in such a test.


    "Is it possible that this seemingly bloated full-protection armor has given him such great power?"


    After thinking for a moment, Company Commander Zhang finally expressed what he was thinking.


    However, as soon as he said this, one of the people opposite him immediately disagreed.


    "Impossible. That''s definitely impossible. That armor is already so bloated. It''s already good enough that it doesn''t drag the user down. How can it still increase the user''s strength?"


    A dark-skinned man sitting across from Company Commander Zhang immediately retorted with an affirmative tone. He had a scar that was a few centimeters long on his cheekbone.


    He was the chief instructor in charge of training the soldiers in the military region. His position was not inferior to that of apanymander because he had richbat experience and knew how to use equipment to increase hisbat power.


    Therefore, with his rich experience, he did not agree with Company Commander Zhang''s conjecture.


    Even quality Epic equipment rarely had the capacity to directly increase the user''s strength or speed.


    And even if they did exist, they would only serve as an additional flower on top of a brocade.


    It was basically impossible to achieve the effect that was shown in the video.


    The people around them looked at each other, unable to say anything for a long time.


    Seeing the awkward situation, Battalion Commander Yang Ming, who was sitting in the main seat, immediately exined, "The force of the man''s punch in the footage earlier reached more than nine tons, which basically exceeds the upper limit of the seven-star rank.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Meanwhile, the strength of his fist was only less than three tons in the previous test.


    Shrugging his shoulders, Yang Ming continued, "The gap between the two tests was less than four months. The reason why my strength has improved so much in such a short time is all thanks to therge armor!"


    He tapped his index finger on the conference table, and after he said that, Yang Ming immediately raised his head to look at the crowd. When he saw that everyone seemed interested, he immediately revealed a knowing smile.


    Battalion Commander Yang Ming''s voice reverberated in the meeting room, and then disappeared.


    Then, the entire room fell into a strange silence.


    The other nine people present all had shock written all over their faces. The chief instructor, who had previously vowed that it was impossible, was directly stunned on the spot, unable to recover from his shock for a long time.


    "Gasp... Hey, wait a moment."


    The director of the R&D Department, Zheng Shaowei, was the first to recover from his dazed state. He took a deep breath and said to the battalionmander in an uncertain tone, "Battalion Commander Yang, you mean to say that this seemingly bulky full-protection armor can provide the user with a strength boost of nearly six tons?"


    Director Zheng looked at him with an "are you sure?" look. He seemed puzzled.


    Yang Ming did not hesitate and immediately nodded.


    "That''s what I meant."


    Hearing the battalionmander confirm his words, everyone was truly shocked. Their eyes were wide open as they looked at the battalionmander in confusion.


    "I know it''s hard for you to digest this information, but it''s okay. When I got the newsst night, I was so excited that I couldn''t sleep either.


    "However, I still hope that you can finish watching the video before you express your opinions. By then, you''ll probably have a higher level of understanding."


    Battalion Commander Yang Ming spread out his hands and exined to everyone in advance. At the same time, he gave everyone a heads up.


    When the time came, even if they saw the outrageous scenes in the video, they would not be too excited.


    Even though the others had many questions, they suppressed their inner impulses and continued to watch the footage.


    The length of the confidential video was 15 minutes, from Lone Wolf''s first strength test involving the pressure te to the final Legendary-grade defense test.


    Since the military had cut out parts of the footage, as well as Wu Mo''s answers to everyone''s doubts, the whole process left was pretty much high-energy.


    From a speed test of a little over three seconds to the difficulty of dodging obstacles, everyone in the meeting room was shocked by the footage disyed in front of them.


    Whether it was the super high speed or the dodging of the small iron balls, all the test results surpassed everyone''s expectations.


    The feeling that was beyond their imagination was like a tide, constantly washing away what they knew!


    Everyone in the meeting room became excited.


    The subsequent defense test had raised the quality of the entire video to a level that they could not hope to achieve.


    When the Heavenly Fire Bomb exploded, the dazzling light could be felt through the projection screen. It was so powerful that it could destroy all living things.


    In the end, the man in full-protection armor walked out of the test area unscathed, and everyone was relieved.


    Soon, the projection screen gradually dimmed, and the officials who participated in the meeting slowly calmed down.

 Chapter 349 Refreshing World Views

    "Disyed before you just now is thetest confidential gear developed by the military. If you have any doubts or indirect questions, you may ask.


    "Although I don''t know much, I''ll exin everything I know to everyone."


    Yang Ming tidied his cor and smiled at the crowd.


    "Ahem... I''d like to know the name of this newly developed gear and its main functions."


    Chu Yi''s face was filled with curiosity as he requested impatiently.


    In the previous scene, the full-protection armor''s effects had already exceeded that of any equipment he was familiar with. The equipment''s quality was Legendary grade or above.


    Therefore, he was eager to know the main effects of this new piece of equipment and the relevant R&D personnel.


    The others all nodded, wanting to learn the details as well.


    "The divisionmander told me about thatst night. He mentioned that the equipment shown in the footage is called the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    "Its main function is to provide full-body protection to its wearer, as well as enhance many of its wearer''s attributes, including strength, speed, and evenputing power."


    Yang Ming crossed his arms and used the back of his hand to support his chin. Facing the crowd''s curious gazes, he continued, "Actually, I''m not sure what kind of technology and forging concept this new equipment utilizes. However, it does have the defensive strength of Legendary-grade equipment and even has the ability to fly people up into the sky."


    Then, he seemingly thought of something. He pressed the remote control and yed another video.


    This time, the video looked jittery as if it had been shot by a mobile device. The quality of this video was not as clear as the previous one.


    Nevertheless, the scene in the footage was no less shocking than that of the previous tests.


    In the video, everyone quickly found that the man who had undergone the tests in the previous video was now flying at a low altitude, several dozen meters in the air!


    The seemingly huge and bloated armor was constantly spewing out unknown gas from the back.


    It was the lift and thrust from the jet device that allowed the man to soar in the sky at will. His flying speed was evenparable to that of falcons, which were known as the aerial bombers of the natural world!


    Whether it was the angle of his turns, his speed, or the height of his flight, the man was able to control it freely, operating the huge device like it was his own arm.


    The previous test footage had already been shocking enough.


    However,pared to the current flight videos, it still seemed a little pale.


    Being able to fly in the air at high speed meant a lot to the people of White River province and the battlefields of the major battlefields. Many of thepanymander-level officials present were very clear about this.


    Some of their faces were flushed with excitement, while others were shocked. They could not believe their eyes.


    At this moment, Company Commander Zhang, who was sitting at the side, was suddenly attracted by the scene that was about to end in the video.


    In the video, the man who was flying in the air quicklynded. At thest second of the video, the mobile device clearly captured his face.


    However, due to the shaking of the equipment and the poor image quality, the video quality was not very clear.


    Company Commander Zhang was not too sure at first.


    However, the more he watched, the more he felt that the man in the video looked very simr to a friend he knew.


    After a moment of careful observation, he was almost certain that the person participating in the new equipment test was his old friend, Lone Wolf whom he had worked with several times!<novelnext></novelnext>


    After understanding this, Company Commander Zhang''s pupils instantly contracted, and his entire body trembled with excitement and horror.


    "That''s impossible. Lone Wolf was still bedridden three months ago due to an amputation operation. Even if he had undergone rehabilitation training, it''s impossible for him to recover half of his previousbat ability, let alone participate in a test that consumes a lot of physical strength!"


    His eyes immediately widened, and his voice was distorted from excitement.


    "What''s going on, Company Commander Zhang? You''re saying that the man who underwent the test in the video earlier was Lone Wolf?!"


    Commander Zheng Shaowei, who was standing on the side, suddenly became uneasy when he saw Company Commander Zhang lose hisposure.


    Everyone present knew that a few months ago, Lone Wolf had made a mistake while carrying out a mission, and his right leg had beenpletely crippled.


    A few months ago, everyone had organized a group to visit a patient in Renhe Medical Center.


    At that time, there were four to five people present, and they could only watch as Lone Wolfy on the bed with his right leg missing.


    Back then, Lone Wolf''s condition was extremely bad. The amputation of his right leg meant that he would never be able to return to the battlefield in the future. At that point, everyone sighed and felt sad for a long time as a result.


    However, it had only been a few months since then. Even if Lone Wolf had recovered well, it would be impossible for him to be alive and kicking like a normal person.


    Thinking about this, Commander Zheng Shaowei immediately stared at the picture that stopped at thest needle.


    After looking at it for a moment, he recalled Lone Wolf''s appearance when he wore the full-protection armor to participate in the test.


    Right then, an almost impossible idea suddenly shed through his mind.


    Lone Wolf was able to participate in all the tests ande out alive because of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear!


    He thought that his guess was nonsensical, though.


    After all, the current technology was still far from being that advanced. Even if they used forging technology, it waspletely impossible to achieve such a level.


    However, as the saying goes, after one eliminated all the impossible options, the remaining one, no matter how unbelievable, had to be the truth!


    Company Commander Zhang also seemed to realize something at this moment, and he subconsciously looked at Zheng Shaowei for a moment.


    Very quickly, they both saw great shock in each other''s expressions.


    At this moment, Company Commander Zhang could only feel a bone-chilling cold rising from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. It was as if he had stepped into a whole new realm.


    He now had a clearer understanding of the world.


    "If I''m not wrong, this Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear has the function of helping disabled people stand up again."


    After digesting all the information, Company Commander Zhang''s eyes gradually calmed down, and he immediately tried to confirm with Battalion Commander Yang Ming.


    His sudden words and their implication stunned the surrounding people.


    However, Battalion Commander Yang Ming smiled and nodded in praise. "That''s right. The man you saw just now was Lone Wolf, who had the amputation surgery. He could easily participate in all the tests thanks to the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    "I have to say that the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear has indeed brought modern technology and forging technology to new heights. I think it won''t be long before our White River province can use this development to advance in different fields."

 Chapter 350 Research And Development Beyond Imagination

    Yang Ming answered Company Commander Zhang''s question with a smile on his face.


    Meanwhile, the other people in the meeting room finally realized what it meant for Lone Wolf to be able toplete the tests unscathed.


    "Heavens, who the hell developed this Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear? Not only can it provide the entire body with Legendary-grade protection, but it can also increase the wearer''s attributes in various fields!


    "More importantly, the device can also carry a person and fly at a low altitude. It gives disabled people the chance to stand up!"


    The chief instructor, who had previously vowed that this was impossible, felt his scalp tingle, and goosebumps rose all over his body.


    The Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear that had appeared in the video earlier had surpassed everyone''s knowledge of spirit energy equipment. One could say that it opened up a whole new field in the 100-year history of forging!


    In the quiet meeting room, everyone''s eyes were filled with shock.


    The footage was undoubtedly a bombshell to everyone present.


    It shattered the worldview they had formed over the decades.


    If they had not seen the test with their own eyes, they would never have known that modern science and forging technology had advanced to such a level.


    The R&D product named the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear was enough to shock the world even if it only had one function.


    First of all, the technology within the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear could provide extremely high attribute enhancement to the wearer. If the military could wrap their heads around all of it, the White River province would be able to mass-produce cultivators with seven-star strength in the future!


    Second of all, if they could study the technology of transporting people at a low altitude and flying at a speed close to that of a falcon, it would also bring great benefits to everyone.


    This meant that the cultivators fighting on the front lines would be able to provide support 10 times faster in the future. This technology might even be applicable to the development of vehicles.


    They would wait until the price of cars were greatly reduced so that ordinary people did not have to wait for cars to enter their homes. Now, the cities in White River province had to build roads every year, and the administration had to divide the roads to have specialnes for carriages.


    This technology that could help the disabled return to battle gave a new hope to the countless cultivators that had left the field in regret because of their injuries!


    Any of its mechanics would be the best in the world if picked out.


    The moment everyone understood that these shocking mechanics were all concentrated on the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, they were shocked, and their minds were blown.


    Therefore, at this moment, everyone wanted to know which research team had developed this Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    They did not think that it was a personal researcher because all the mechanics inside the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear went against the norm. The research and development workload could not have beenpleted by an individual.


    Some people even began to guess that a research and development team led by a professor in the southeastern war zone had made a breakthrough.


    "I didn''t expect the military''s Research Department in the southeastern war zone to make a new breakthrough with the new year on the horizon. It looks like the war situation has slowed down in the past few months, and the seven-star master cksmiths have started to work together."


    "It has to be them. The Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear uses such top technology. Apart from the old professors in the southeastern war zone, I''m afraid no other research and development team in White River has the ability to achieve this."


    In the conference room, most of the people had excited smiles on their faces.


    Now that the military was willing to release the news, it meant that the research and development of this new equipment''s technology had matured. It would probably not be long before small-scale mass production would start and the institutions under theirmand would conduct a trial distribution.


    As for North China''s Third Military Region, they would definitely be able to get their hands on the tested equipment as soon as possible.<novelnext></novelnext>


    At that thought, they immediately became excited.


    Although everyone present was a cultivator of six stars and above and had the ability to use spirit power to temporarily stay in the air, they were still considerably weak.


    However, the experience of staying in the air for a short period of time and being able to fly freely at a low altitude were simply worlds apart.


    Just as everyone was starting to fantasize about that wonderful daying, Battalion Commander Yang Ming, who was sitting at the head of the table, smiled and shook his head.


    "Although your analysis makes sense, there is a fundamental error in your judgment of the final R&D."


    He looked at the crowd and continued slowly, "ording to the master''s descriptionst night, the person who developed this Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear was not a group of professors. The southeastern war zone had nothing to do with it either.


    "The actual developer is a young cksmith in his early 20s. The test site that everyone saw on the screen earlier is where the cksmith currently works, Armory No. 64."


    Everyone was stunned for a moment when Battalion Commander Yang Ming blew their minds with his statement.


    "What? This Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear was actually developed by a cksmith, and it was a young cksmith working in the armory?!"


    The R&D director, Zheng Shaowei was the first to react, and he looked at the battalionmander with a face full of disbelief.


    Chu Yi''s eyes flickered as he sat at the side. He found the matter too unbelievable.


    Although they were not professional cksmiths, they more or less had some contact with the field of forging. Although they did not know what kind of technology had been applied to the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, they still knew some basic things.


    Not only did the gear cover a wide range of functions, but each of its modules also had strong practical application value.


    Not to mention, the initial research would have required a lot of manpower and resources. Even if it was a copy, the workload could not have beenpleted by one person.


    On top of that, Battalion Commander Yang Ming had also said that the equipment''s inventor was a young cksmith in his 20s.


    This was simply a fantasy, something impossible to achieve.


    Right then, Company Commander Zhang''s face was also full of surprise. The Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear shown in the previous footage had already given them enormous shock.


    Now, after knowing that the equipment had been independently developed by a young cksmith, the impact of this news on his heart was even greater than before!


    To him, there was no truth to this news at all.


    With such a huge amount of work and difficult research and development involved, even a master cksmith of the seven-star rank would find it difficult toplete the task alone, let alone a young cksmith.


    Unless...


    As a thought urred to him, Company Commander Zhang''s expression changed drastically, and a figure immediately shed in his mind.


    In the next moment, he returned to a point in time a few months ago.


    It was a few days before North China''s Third Military Region nned tounch the red and blue team battle simtion.

 Chapter 351 Setting Off A Great Uproar

    Many industry-rted people had been invited to the military region to observe thebat exercise.


    Among the invited guests, there had been a young cksmith with extraordinary forging skills.


    The young cksmith stood out from his peers with an Invisibility Armor, which he had developed. Eventually, it was used as the red team''s trump card, and with that item, he finally seeded in turning the tables.


    Due to what happenedst time, Company Commander Zhang and many of the leaders present had a deep impression of Wu Mo.


    Plus, the Spirit Wave Sword that Wu Mo developedter on made everyone in the military region look at him in a new light.


    Later on, Company Commander Zhang even sent Bald Eagle to the Fifth Research Department to retrieve the Spirit Wave Sword. On the way back, Bald Eagle unfortunately encountered the rebels.


    At that time, he had been injured, and the enemy had two cultivators at the peak of the six-star rank. Nevertheless, Bald Eagle relied on the powerful Spirit Wave Sword to not only rescue himself but also chase after the remaining rebel soldiers.


    Following that incident, almost the entire White River province knew of Wu Mo''s name.


    Hence, when Company Commander Zhang heard Battalion Commander Yang Ming say that a young cksmith had developed the equipment, the first person he thought of was Wu Mo.


    Besides, he could not think of anyone else who had the ability to do such a thing besides Wu Mo.


    It was as if everyone had already guessed who the young cksmith was.


    Yang Ming no longer kept him in suspense and seriously said, "As you all can tell, the one who developed this Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear is Wu Mo.


    "Perhaps it was because of theck of time, but the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear he developed showed some shorings in the testing process. It will take about a month to perfect it, so we won''t be able to see that shocking scene y out again in the near future."


    As he said this, his expression immediately revealed some regret.


    When they heard Battalion Commander Yang Ming utter Wu Mo''s name, they still sighed in their hearts despite bracing themselves.


    Wu Mo had given them a surprise that was truly too shocking this time.


    He hadpleted such a difficult research and development project by himself and handed all the information to the military unconditionally.


    It would benefit everyone present to learn such a selfless and persevering academic spirit!


    The advent of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear would bring plenty of wealth and opportunities to the White River province.


    The rate of injuries and problems regarding the aftermath of the first line of cultivators in the war zone had been a problem that had troubled the higher-ups of each district for more than a decade.


    Although the procedures in this area had been humane and appropriate recently, and it was not a big deal, it still could notfort the cultivators who were hot-blooded and filled with the desire to kill on the battlefield.


    Meanwhile, the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear that Wu Mo had developed perfectly solved the problem of disabled cultivators, giving them the hope and possibility of returning to the battlefield.


    "It''s Wu Mo indeed... If the White River province has more talents like him, we won''t have to worry about our future development!"


    Company Commander Zhang was deeply moved, and the people around him were also full of admiration.


    From the initial Invisibility Armor and Spirit Wave Sword to the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, Wu Mo''s progress on the road of forging and research had grown increasingly stable. Every piece of equipment he developed was firmly linked to the frontline soldiers and the masses.


    In just over half a year, the various war zones and even the institutions in the cities of the White River continent had undergone subtle and positive changes because of the mass production equipment he had developed.


    In terms of execution, most of the people there were not as good as Wu Mo.


    At the thought of this, many people''s faces showed shame.


    Even a young cksmith had the awareness to change the country.


    They were the leaders of the military, but they were always negligent in their work and failed toplete their tasks at the first moment.


    In the meeting room, after thinking about it for a while, they had mixed feelings.


    Yang Ming saw that the purpose of this meeting had been achieved, so he immediately stood up from his chair.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Okay, this meeting is adjourned. You can proceed with your own things. But remember, everything you see and hear in this meeting must be kept secret. You all know the consequences.


    After that, he picked up the materials and turned to leave the meeting room.


    Seeing this, the rest of the people also got up and left with their heads lowered.


    The meeting ended there, and Company Commander Zhang benefited a lot.


    He was a little regretful now that he did not convince Wu Mo to stay for a few more days when the Third Military Region started the drill.


    At the very least, he got to meet Battalion Commander Yang Ming. Perhaps if their rtionship became better, after Wu Mo finished improving the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, he would first give them one.


    He felt a little regretful, but he did not slow down.


    The purpose of this meeting was to let everyone know about thetest confidential file and let them learn from Wu Mo''s persevering academic spirit and encourage themselves in their future work.


    Company Commander Zhang already felt a little ashamed. At this moment, he was suppressing a burst of anger in his heart, and he could not wait to start a career right now.


    Soon, Company Commander Zhang''s figure got further and further away, and the entire military area returned to its usual peace and order.


    Although it was only ten o''clock in the morning, soldiers were already sweating in the training grounds.


    The various departments worked together to make every link in the military camp run smoothly.


    Although the Third Military Region of North China had already digested all the confidential information.


    But in other ces, the same meeting was still going on.


    The news spreadyer byyer, and it did not take long for it to reach the ears of all the major organizations in the capital.


    10:30 am, capital city''s City Defense Army Headquarters.


    Head Captain Chu Li received a call from the military leader.


    The content of the phone call was about this confidential incident.


    After a while, he ended the call. Chu Li, who was used to all kinds of situations, was stunned for a few seconds.


    "Little brother Wu Mo, there''s a new development result! I really want to see for myself what that big guy looks like."


    Chu Li was so excited that he was not in the mood to continue makingments on the document. Instead, he put on his coat and nned to go out and have a good chat with Bai Li about this matter.


    It could not be helped. Although the City Defense Army had a lot of authority, no one in the entire army had the right to ess confidential projects.


    There were a lot of things he wanted to say in his heart, but he had no ce to talk about them. He could only talk to Bai Li.


    On the other side, in the Fifth Research Department located in the Xicheng District of the capital city.


    Academician Xu was writing a paper in front of theputer in his office when a pop-up window suddenly appeared on the front page.


    It was a notification from the military system.


    After seeing the notice, Xu Wuyue did not hesitate. He immediately opened the military system and carefully read the contents of the confidential document.


    Once he finished reading the exnation and watching the video...


    His old face, which was full of wrinkles and brown spots, trembled a few times.


    His eyes, which were filled with hidden brilliance, were filled with amazement!


    The next moment, Xu Wuyue immediately locked hisputer and took out his phone to inform Professor Liu and Professor Tan to organize a meeting!

 Chapter 352 The Path Of Improvement

    In just one day, the information, which was ssified by the military, was sent to the entire White River province.


    Every official with status and position got to know the young cksmith named Wu Mo again.


    However, Wu Mo, the one who started it all, turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside.


    Between the personal dormitory and the research factory, the people were busy.


    In just over a day''s time, Wu Mo had already finalized all the improvement ns and begun working.


    Yesterday, he had spent 14 hours in the forging space. While he was in there, he had spent another 800 points to buy two small Spirit Energy Potions.


    Although those 14 hours might not have even been 10 minutes in the real world, Wu Mo''s spirit power had beenpletely depleted.


    He dared not ck off at all. He was relying on the drive in his heart to continue his in-depth research.


    The results of his efforts were also obvious. At least, he had found a solution to the problem of the high-molecr metal ting being easy to peel off.


    Of course, if he wanted to do this well, he would still need to rely on the advanced forging equipment in the research and development nt.


    However, he was happy that the military armory was very cooperative with him.


    Not only did Elder Huang open the path for Wu Mo to enter and exit without any inspection procedures, but he also gave him extremely high authority so that Wu Mo could directly use the equipment without waiting in line.


    Of course, the staff in the research and development nt were happy to let him.


    After all, Wu Mo''s Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear in the armory proved that they had the mostplete forging equipment in the White River province, apart from the Eastern Grand Station District!


    When the staff members learned that Wu Mo''s research and development project had been made ssified by the military, they felt even prouder.


    After all, this matter would only benefit the military armory and everyone in it.


    Wu Mo''s existence had not only made Armory No. 64 famous, but it had also broadened everyone''s horizons. Their strength had also improved visibly.


    They did not understand what kind of technology had been applied to the inner workings of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    Nevertheless they could learn a lot from watching Wu Mo use the forging apparatus to cast new metals up close.


    All in all, everyone in the military armory had be humble and polite to Wu Mo. Even Lu Jian, the researcher who had a conflict with Wu Mo, was worried that he would damage the military armory''s interests because of personal reasons.


    Therefore, in the afternoon after Wu Mo finished the tests, Lu Jian secretly apologized to him.


    However, at that time, Wu Mo was focused on improving the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, so he only responded perfunctorily to Lu Jian''s apology.


    After all, he had been extremely busy since then and had no time to care about such small details.


    If Lu Jian had not mentioned it, he would have forgotten about the conflict between them over the forging instrument.


    As for the other person who had a grudge against Wu Mo, he probably could note over and apologize to him in person.


    This was because Wu Mo had brought the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear to the test building for testing.


    Chen Yunjin left without a word because he realized that the difference in strength between him and Wu Mo was too great. Wu Mo had only been at the armory for more than a month, but he had already developed the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear with existing technology and conditions.


    On the other hand, Chen Yunjin had been in the military armory for some time. He often followed Elder Huang to broaden his horizons and learn new forging techniques.


    He had been studying for nearly a month, yet his strength had not improved at all.


    Comparing the two, it was obvious who was superior.<novelnext></novelnext>


    On the day of the test, he had seen the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear developed by Wu Mo, which could actually carry an entire person.


    Chen Yunjin felt extremely ashamed. In addition, there was already enmity between him and Wu Mo.


    Now that Wu Mo had made a name for himself by developing a new type of equipment, his status in Armory No. 64 would definitely rise in the future.


    When that happened, that guy, Wu Mo, would probably target him even if he did not want to leave.


    Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Chen Yunjin did not hesitate in his decision.


    He did not exin the situation to Elder Huang that night and left in the dark.


    However, Chen Yunjin''s departure did not attract the attention of the others in the armory.


    After all, he had been arrogant and conceited. Besides, he looked down on the staff from the bottom of his heart.


    That was why he had no friends in the past month.


    As for Elder Huang, he had already expected this, so he had no intention of stopping him.


    As early as the first day Chen Yunjin came to the armory, he had seen the arrogance hidden in the depths of the young man''s eyes.


    Back then, Elder Huang already knew in his heart that this supercilious young man thought he was better than others just because he had some skill.


    If he did not put down his pride and study hard, no matter how long he stayed in the armory, he would be a hopeless cause.


    If it were not for the fact that he had some connections with the elders in Chen Yunjin''s family, Elder Huang would not have allowed such a person to enter the armory and taint the ce that he had worked hard to manage for decades.


    ...


    Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a week had passed.


    In the past week, the military armory had been developing and expanding as per usual.


    Under the staff''s meticulous care, every factory that was responsible for mass production also produced spirit energy equipment in an orderly manner.


    This also included the production lines of the Invisibility Armor and Spirit Wave Sword that Wu Mo had previously managed.


    More than half a month ago, Wu Mo had been in charge of the equipment production''s quality there.


    Several hundred sets of equipment were produced almost every week, and most of them were equipped by the military when entering various war zones.


    A small portion was absorbed by the institutions in the cities and counties around the capital.


    Although the production speed of the Invisibility Armor and Spirit Wave Sword was faster than it was in the Research Department''s workshop, the military armory still needed at least five months toplete the orders given by the military.


    For the next half a month, Wu Mo put all his effort into researching the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    Even so, with the detailed data he provided and the staff''s experience in the factory, the quality of the subsequent equipment produced perfectly met the initial set standards.


    Wu Mo knew all this because two days ago, when he went to the armory''s material warehouse to find suitable auxiliary materials for the gear''s improvement, he happened to meet Elder Huang, who was counting the goods.


    The two of them chatted for a while at the material warehouse''s entrance.


    It was then that Wu Mo learned from Elder Huang that equipment production in the factory under his jurisdiction was in full swing.

 Chapter 353 Solving The Problem

    Coincidentally, he had encountered some problems in the work of improving the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, so he took the opportunity to have a little discussion with Elder Huang.


    In their less than 10 minutes ofmunication, Elder Huang had given him a lot of useful advice, which also made Wu Mo''s n a lot clearer.


    Elder Huang was the person with the best forging skills in the armory after all. Whether it was interaction between the materials or the mastery of every forging technique, he had pretty much done everything.


    Every time Wu Mo asked a question, Elder Huang was able to give the best answer without thinking.


    He had such a huge amount of knowledge and knew skillfulbat techniques.


    All of these were things that the current Wu Mo could only dream of achieving.


    However, it was a pity that Wu Mo''s schedule was too tight during at the moment. He only chatted with Elder Huang for a while before leaving in a hurry.


    Looking at the flickering mes in the furnace before him, Wu Mo turned his attention back to the forging of the materials.


    His eyes were filled with determination as he gently moved the handle to control the fire outlet, adjusting the mes inside the furnace to the most suitable level.


    He was currently pre-processing the materials that he had taken from the materials warehouse two days ago.


    The impurities in the materials were removed, and the preliminary calcination began.


    When all the materials with different properties returned to their liquid state, he would proceed with the second step of fusion.


    The furnace within the forging space was still unable to carry out all kinds ofplicated processing methods.


    Hence, the final step had to bepleted through the forging apparatus in the research facility.


    If even the first step required the facility''s forging apparatus, it would definitely slow down the other workers'' progress.


    Thus, Wu Mo had gotten used to using the furnace in the forging space toplete the first step. After he collected all the materials, he would use the facility''s forging apparatus toplete the rest of the steps.


    Wu Mo had enough authority to use the forging apparatus every day without having to wait in line.


    However, he had never enjoyed being too independent in life.


    Anyway, the flow of time within the forging space was slow, so he could save some time.


    Although there were still a lot of things to do every day, after six or seven days of adaptation, Wu Mo was now able toplete his own tasks incredibly well. He could even take a break every day and spare half an hour to read books and supplement his knowledge.


    The Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s improvement n was also progressing steadily.


    Wu Mo already had a solution to the first problem, which was the ting falling off easily. All he needed to do was use the forging apparatus to process thest batch of materials.


    Once he was done, he had to smear the newyer on the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s polymer metal te.


    Then, he could use the principle of reverse osmosis tobine the two into one andpletely solve this problem.


    As for the exoskeleton armor''s shorings, such as theck of heat resistance and theplicated operation of the mechanics, Wu Mo had a new idea to solve them.


    He was confident that it would take him 20 days at most to improve the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    "The calcination is almost done."


    Wu Mo''s expression changed slightly as he looked through the observation window and observed the bubbling liquid mixture of the materials in the furnace. He immediately reached out and moved the operating lever to close some of the furnace''s slits, causing the internal temperature to drop rapidly.


    When the me waspletely extinguished, he put on a pair of insted gloves and poured the material solution that had turned into a viscous liquid into the crucible.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Looking at the dark green liquid, which was pungent and the same volume as a fist, Wu Mo immediately activated the quick cooling function on the workbench.


    Only now did he realize that the facilities in the forging space could not keep up with his needs.


    In terms of the cooling and fusing the solution, the forging apparatus in the research facility was more than 10 times faster than the facilities in the forging space.


    In terms of practical casting functions, the hundreds of instruments in the factory could meet almost everyone''s needs.


    On the other hand, the forging space that had always apanied him almost had the same functions as when he first used it.


    Since he had seen and experienced all kinds of modern cutting-edge equipment in the armory that Wu Mo''s demand for hardware in the forging field had risen.


    However, due to the stagnation of his cultivation, the various equipment in the Divine-grade Forging Space had not been upgraded for several months.


    The workstation and furnace were both of Premium grade, and Wu Mo had spent points twice to upgrade them.


    As for the casting equipment, due to the higher requirements for upgrading, its current strength had yet to meet them for upgrading to the Premium grade.


    Thus, Wu Mo had only upgraded it once so far.


    It was precisely because Wu Mo''s strength had remained at the peak of the five-star rank for too long that the equipment in the forging space was unable to meet his needs.


    Fortunately, the Divine-grade Forging Space had a function that slowed down time by a hundredfold, so Wu Mo was still very dependent on it.


    After all, if improved Legendary equipment within a month without the Divine Forging Space, it would be like cheating.


    It would be impossible toplete this mission in the real world.


    Thanks to the system''s help and Wu Mo''s academic spirit, he was able to achieve his current achievements.


    Even so, Wu Mo''s desire to be a six-star cksmith as soon as possible continued to stir.


    To a cksmith, the gap between the two ranks was like heaven and earth.


    Whether it was the ability to gain insight into the quality of equipment materials or whether the casting process could be done with ease, these influences were all rted to the individual''s rank.


    In the field of forging, anyone ranked below six stars would only get a sneak peek.


    They would have the ability to use spirit power to identify equipment and materials.


    However, if you wanted to cast Legendary or even Divine equipment, you needed a cksmith of six stars and above who couldplete it alone.


    Of course, the above was only for ordinary people with average talent.


    If one was born in a prestigious family and had been taught by a master cksmith from a young age, one who was ranked five stars might be able to forge Legendary-grade equipment.


    However, for an ordinary person like Wu Mo who had been born in a mountain vige, if he did not have the opportunity or a noble''s help, no matter how hard he studied, he would be dispensable to the royal family. He would probably not be able to reach the six-star rank even if he worked hard for half his life.


    Therefore, Wu Mo dared not ck off in the slightest. Even though no one had ever urged him to work on a project, there was still a tight string in his heart that drove him to continue working hard.


    Whether it was for his original intention or for his family, Wu Mo had never thought of stopping for such a long time.


    While he was contemting, he suddenly felt a slight vibration from his finger on the worktable.


    Wu Mo subconsciously turned his head and noticed that the material solution in the crucible had already cooled down.

 Chapter 354 Wang Qiuhan

    Without any hesitation, Wu Mo immediately took out a container from his Interspatial Ring and stored the materials that had already been condensed in it.


    Soon after, he closed his eyes and immediately left the forging space.


    After returning to the familiar single dormitory, Wu Mo stood up from the couch, put on his coat, and rushed to the research facility.


    It was already six o''clock in the evening, an hour before the research facility closed.


    He needed to use the remaining time to fuse the materials with the forging apparatus toplete thest step of the ting improvement.


    Following that, he would go to the cafeteria to have dinner.


    Wu Mo quickened his pace and immediately walked out of the dormitory building as the evening sky gradually darkened.


    If one looked up at this moment, one could still see the crimson sunset in the distance.


    On the way to the research facility, Wu Mo saw many staff members who had just gotten off work.


    When he passed by those people, Wu Mo could asionally feel reverent gazes from them.


    He sniffed and pulled up the cor of his coat as though it could hide him.


    It was alreadyte winter, and there were not many days left before the new year.


    Yesterday afternoon, there had even been light snowfall in the capital.


    Although the snow on the ground had melted, some white traces could still be seen in the bushes on both sides of the road.


    Five minutester, Wu Mo arrived at the entrance of the research facility.


    He picked up his work pass and waved it at the staff members who were doing their routine inspection. Then, he quickly walked into the white magic array.


    The inspectors all had an expression of admiration on their faces as they watched Wu Mo''s disappearing figure.


    It would have been fine if it had only happened once or twice, but for a long time, Wu Mo was almost always among thest batch of people toe out.


    Only a few people in the entire armory had such diligence and perseverance.


    On the other side, Wu Mo had passed through the array and arrived at the research facility.


    He looked around and saw that only a few dozen people were left wandering around the various instruments in the facility, which had been bustling with people at noon.


    Wu Mo squinted to get used to the bright light above his head.


    He then walked toward the forging apparatus located at the center.


    The forging apparatus was one of the 10 core pieces of equipment in the research facility. If one wanted to use it during regr hours, they would have to queue for at least half an hour.


    It would only be empty before 9.00 am and after 6.00 pm, and one could directly use it by inserting a card.


    In the past, Wu Mo had always pursued the principle of not causing trouble for others.


    Unless it was an emergency, he would always use the forging apparatus during the two vacant periods.


    Hence, there was usually no one around when he came after six in the evening.


    This time, however, when he approached the forging apparatus, he realized that there was still someone using it despite it being sote.


    When Wu Mo spotted the thin figure standing in front of the forging apparatus, he immediately frowned.


    ording to his original n, he would need to use the forging apparatus for at least 40 minutes.


    Even so, based on past situations, no one would use the forging apparatus during this period of time.


    That was why Wu Mo had such a n.


    However, the person who had appeared before the forging apparatus hadpletely disrupted his rhythm.


    If this person used it for more than 20 minutes, Wu Mo might not be able to finish his work for the day.


    However, as early as a week ago, he had already filled his daily schedule with what he needed to do every day for a month.<novelnext></novelnext>


    If he truly could not finish his work today, the follow-up tasks would definitely be affected.


    Thinking of this, Wu Mo cleared his throat and quickly walked toward the figure.


    However, when he approached the figure, Wu Mo realized that ady was using the forging apparatus.


    The woman in front of him was wearing a dark blue trench coat and dark leather boots that wrapped around her knees.


    She gave off a heroic and valiant aura.


    "Hello... Sorry to bother you, but I have something urgent to attend to. May I use the forging apparatus for a moment?"


    Wu Mo hesitated for a moment. He knew that it was not good to disturb a cksmith who was focused on forging.


    However, the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s improvement was equally urgent.


    Therefore, he could only use the exclusive authority given by Elder Huang to cut the queue.


    The woman, who had her back to him, was stunned when she heard Wu Mo''s words. Then, she immediately turned around and looked at him in surprise.


    "Wu Mo, why are you still in the research facility at this time of night?"


    The woman greeted Wu Mo with a smile, seeming very rxed.


    Wu Mo heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the woman''s face.


    It turned out that the apparatus'' user was none other than the one who had weed Wu Mo with Elder Huang when he first arrived at the military armory.


    "Oh, oh... It''s you.


    "Hello," Wu Mo greeted her politely. He wanted to call the woman by her name, but just as he was about to speak, he remembered that he had only met her twice since he came to the armory. They were not familiar with each other yet.


    He had apparently heard Elder Huang call her "Qiuhan" thest time.


    However, it was obviously the woman''s nickname, so Wu Mo dared not address her that way.


    The woman seemed to notice the embarrassment on Wu Mo''s face, so she promptly introduced herself with a smile.


    "What a coincidence that we''re meeting at this time. You''ve been at the military armory for so long, but we still haven''t gotten to know each other.


    "My name is Wang Qiuhan. If you don''t mind, you can call me Qiuhan. Anyway, since you''re here in the research facility sote at night, there must be something important. I''m not in a hurry with my work, so you can use it first."


    Wang Qiuhan''s beautiful eyes were great at observing people''s expressions. She could understand Wu Mo''s real purpose through his expressions and movements just by exchanging a few words with with.


    Due to her modest concession, Wu Mo went with the flow and obtained the right to use the forging apparatus.


    "I''m so sorry. Qiuhan, let me thank you in advance."


    Wu Mo scratched his head in embarrassment, his face turning red.


    "It''s no problem. The Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s improvement is more important. I''m not in a hurry. I canplete my task a few dayster," Wang Qiuhan said naturally.


    At the same time, she took out her work pass that had been inserted next to the apparatus and gestured at Wu Mo.


    Seeing this, Wu Mo no longer hesitated and immediately inserted his work pass into the card slot.


    Soon, the forging tool was reactivated, and Wu Mo began to input the relevant data for the infiltration smelting mode.


    Wang Qiuhan did not disturb him when she saw his serious face.


    But at the same time, she had no intention of leaving.


    Obviously, everyone in the factory had witnessed Wu Mo''s forging skills.


    If she could learn something from him, Wang Qiuhan''s trip would not be in vain.


    In fact, as soon as Wu Mo had developed the three-dimensional maneuvering device, she had wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Wu Mo.


    So far, no one knew the Three-dimensional Maneuver''s secrets. If she could master one its mechanics, her strength would improve immensely.

 Chapter 355 Conversation

    Wu Mo did not know what Wang Qiuhan was thinking.


    After he finished adjusting the mode with a serious expression, he immediately took out the materials that had been initially smelted from the Interspatial Ring.


    He inserted all of them into the port at the bottom of the forging apparatus and pressed the run button.


    Then, a buzzing sound came from the inside of the instrument. Wu Mo nced at the LCD screen above, and the red words, "working " were disyed.


    The forging apparatus consumed a lot of energy, and this energy was transmitted through the pipes in the center console.


    The special steam that contained energy was used up by the forging apparatus'' internal power system.


    The steam, which was the energy medium, would then be transformed into white smoke and transported back underground through the pipes, forming aplete energy transmission closed loop.


    However, a small part of the white steam still drifted out through the gaps in the metal shell.


    Fortunately, the research facility had aplete air filtration system, so the leaked steam would not stay in the building for long.


    Looking at the rising white steam under the light, Wang Qiuhan pondered for a moment and broke the silence.


    "You''ve been working sote every day because of work. Have you never thought about taking a break?" Wang Qiuhan smiled and said with a curious expression.


    She did not understand. Wu Mo was clearly at the age where one loved to y and fool around, but not only was he mature and unlike a young man, but his attitude toward work was alsoparable to that of a workaholic.


    If it were her, she would not have been able to hold on for so long if she had to face such heavy pressure and workloads every day.


    Therefore, Wang Qiuhan was puzzled. What experiences had made Wu Mo not even frown when facing tremendous pressure and seemingly impossible tasks?


    There were a few people around in the quiet research facility. Everyone was busy with their work with their heads lowered, and no one noticed Wu Mo as well as Wang Qiuhan.


    Looking at the seven-minute countdown, Wu Mo turned back and looked at Wang Qiuhan with a smile.


    "There''s nothing special about it. Maybe I''m used to this kind of fast-paced life because I''ve experienced it many times."


    Looking at her bright eyes and delicate features, he pointed at the waiting area on the side and kindly reminded, "It''s really tiring to stand. Let''s go over there and rest for a while."


    Wang Qiuhan looked to the side at the few seats not far away. Then she nodded and immediately walked over.


    Even though the forging apparatus only took about 10 minutes to work each time, it was quite exhausting to just stand there and wait.


    Besides, cksmiths did not have the strong bodies of cultivators. Their bodies were like that of normal people, and their physical strength was destined to not be much better.


    Soon, the two of them were seated on the bench.


    This time, Wu Mo was the first to speak.


    "Senior Qiuhan, your current strength should be close to the middle stage of the six-star rank, right?" Wu Mo guessed as he felt the spirit energy from her body.


    "You could say I''ve barely touched the threshold of the middle stage. Instead, I''ve been stuck in the early stages of the six-star rank for more than three years. That kind of cultivation speed is definitely nothing to you."


    Wang Qiuhan sighed and looked at Wu Mo with envy.


    If she had the sameprehension skills as Wu Mo, she would not be stuck in the early stage of the six-star rank at the age of thirty-five.


    "Senior Qiuhan, there''s something I don''t know if I should say..."


    Seeing that she seemed a little disappointed, Wu Mo looked up at the bright light on the ceiling and spoke in aforting tone.


    Wang Qiuhan''s eyes glinted, and she nodded slightly.


    Seeing that she had the intention to continue listening, Wu Mo immediately said what was on his mind.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "In my opinion, you''re in no way weak in terms of talent, Senior Qiuhan. There''s no need to belittle yourself.


    "Looking back at the hundred years of forging history, the number of cultivators who''ve reached the six-star rank before the age of thirty-five is incredibly rare. Not to mention, you have more abundant spirit power than other cultivators of the same rank. It''s obvious that your basic skills were very solid when you first learned forging."


    Wu Mo looked at the almost empty research facility and spoke in a serious tone.


    Wang Qiuhan was a little taken aback to hear Wu Mo''s evaluation of her as she sat on the dark red wooden bench.


    Her mouth was slightly open, and her beautiful eyes were filled with confusion.


    Soon, her surroundings fell into silence, and after a few seconds, Wang Qiuhan immediately burst outughing.


    "My spirit power is more abundant than others of the same rank? Haha, how did you discover that?"


    Wang Qiuhan was quite surprised. This was only her third time meeting Wu Mo, and they had only been conversing for 10 minutes.


    In just a few minutes, Wu Mo was able to detect the difference in her mind.


    One could say that his skills of perception were amazing.


    Wang Qiuhan had an increasing feeling that Wu Mo''s true abilities were not as simple as she thought.


    In her opinion, he was even more mysterious than those master cksmiths who were close to the seven-star rank.


    Facing Wang Qiuhan''s bewildered look at the center of the research facility, Wu Mo exined with a smile, "Of course, it''s based on my senses. Although my spirit power isn''t enough to break through the divine barrier around your consciousness, I can judge its defensive ability based on the level of spirit power consumption.


    "From there, I''m able to understand your true spirit power."


    Wang Qiuhan suddenly had a look of interest when she heard Wu Mo''s reply.


    "I have to say that you''re the smartest and most special young man I''ve ever met."


    She smiled and gave Wu Mo a thumbs up, praising him generously.


    "But there''s something I think we still need to discuss."


    All of a sudden, Wang Qiuhan''s face appeared serious again as if she was about to exin something important.


    Seeing Wang Qiuhan''s 180-degree change in attitude, Wu Mo schooled his face. "Um... what''s the matter?"


    Wang Qiuhan''s pretty face was tense. After looking at Wu Mo for two seconds, she smiled and said, "I''ve already told you about the way you can address me. You can just call me Qiuhan.


    "I can''t stand the title of ''senior.''"


    Wu Mo was speechless when he heard her nonsensical words.


    He did not expect Wang Qiuhan to have such an outgoing personality. It waspletely different from what he had expected.


    "Alright..."


    Wu Mo shrugged. Although he was not good atforting people, he had achieved his goal since Wang Qiuhan was cheerful again.


    "Well then, you can rest first. I''ll continue forging the materials."


    Standing up from the bench, Wu Mo parted with Wang Qiuhan and quickly walked toward the forging apparatus.


    He left with his back facing Wang Qiuhan, and her smile immediately disappeared as she looked on.

 Chapter 356 The Only Regret

    Her work and tasks were not urgent anyway, so it did not matter if she dyed it for a day or two.


    Since she could not learn anything useful from Wu Mo, it was a waste of time to stay.


    Wang Qiuhan knew that people like Wu Mo would not stay in the armory for a long time.


    They would not cross paths anymore in the future. At best, each would only be a passerby in the other''s life.


    So, she did not n on spending time to please him.


    With light steps, Wang Qiuhan turned and left the research facility.


    On the other side, Wu Mo had already collected the first batch of materials that had been fused by the forging apparatus.


    After a simple observation, he quickly confirmed that the materials obtained through the infiltration-smelting technique perfectly met the requirements of his improved n.


    He could not help but feel excited for a moment.


    Then, he began to smelt the second batch of materials and stood by the side alone, waiting.


    As time passed, the number of staff in the research facility decreased.


    By the time it was 6.40 pm, Wu Mo was the only one left guarding the forging apparatus.


    The sky outside had long been covered by night, and the lights of several thousand houses were extremely bright at this time.


    Finally, the forging apparatuspleted the infiltration and smelting of thest batch of materials.


    After storing all the processed materials into his Interspatial Ring, Wu Mo immediately pulled out his work pass from the machine''s card slot and hurried out.


    Outside the research facility, a crescent moon as white as frost hung high in the sky.


    A few six-star cultivators were waiting outside, preparing to close the door on time as usual.


    "Ah, it''s gettingte. Shouldn''t Mr. Wu Mo be out by now?" astaff member yawnedzily and said to the colleague beside him with a sleepy face.


    "There''s still about 10 minutes before closing. Why are you in such a hurry?" his middle-aged colleague said impatiently as he looked at the milky-white formation that was 10 meters away.


    Then, he looked at the six-star cultivator standing outside and muttered to himself, "He should be out soon."


    "Hey, I''m just worried that Mr. Wu Mo''s going to forget about the time. You know that he''s been very busy these days. As inspectors, shouldn''t we remind him?"


    The staff member who had been chastised immediately straightened his neck and defended himself.


    "Alright, alright. Those guards who are working hard on duty haven''t even said anything. Who gives you the right toin?"


    Just as the slightly fatter staff member was about to tell hispanion to shut up, the nearby array before him suddenly rippled.


    The next moment, a young man in a dark-colored jacket walked out.


    It was the person they had been waiting for, Mr. Wu Mo. He had the privilege of not having to go through the inspection.


    Seeing that Mr. Wu Mo had finally appeared, the two staff members instantly felt relieved.


    "Mr. Wu, you''re out sote today. I know you''re busy with work, but you have to watch your health," one of the staff members, who was slightly thinner, immediately said.


    He looked at Wu Mo with respect as if it was his goal to be like him.


    The person next to him felt aggrieved when he saw that his colleague had stolen all the opportunities to talk to Mr. Wu.


    He could not wait to tell Wu Mo the same ssic line.


    Unfortunately, his reason triumphed over his impulse, and he immediately fell silent.


    Wu Mo had nned to leave immediately, but he stopped the moment he heard the staff member''s words.


    "Thank you for your concern. I''ll be take care."


    After a polite reply, he quickly left.<novelnext></novelnext>


    However, the staff member who had spoken looked as if he just heard an extremely inspiring speech; his face was slightly flushed.


    After the guards saw what happened, they also looked in the direction where Wu Mo had disappeared.


    They did not understand why the staff members were so respectful to Wu Mo, who was also on the same level as them.


    The night was as dark as ink, and only the streetlights on both sides of the road were left, constantly emitting a dim yellow light.


    Wu Mo put his hands in his pockets, lowered his head, and hurried in the direction of the cafeteria.


    The winter wind was very cold. As long as there was a small gap, it would be able to prate your neck and give you an "unforgettable" experience.


    By the time Wu Mo saw the cafeteria closest to the research facility, his nose was already red from the cold.


    He pushed open the ss door and walked into the cafeteria. The door''s cold metal handle made him immediately roll up his fingers and breathe into his palm.


    "Beef with potato, tomato egg soup, and a bowl of rice. Thank you."


    Without waiting for the staff in the cafeteria to ask, Wu Mo immediately poured out the order he had thought of halfway.


    The staff member pursed his lips and smiled. He immediately saw Wu Mo''s urgency.


    "Alright, please wait a moment."


    "Okay," Wu Mo replied and quickly walked to the dining area.


    It was no longer the peak hour, and there were less than 50 people in therge cafeteria.


    He randomly found a quiet spot and sat down. While waiting for the food to be ready, Wu Mo didn''t waste any time. Instead, he started to think about the follow-up n.


    Now that all the materials were ready, he just had to smear the materials on the exoskeleton armor and hammer it for a while after returning.


    It was expected to bepleted before 10 o''clock.


    After thinking for a while, he thought about some details that he should pay attention to when he went back to work.


    Before Wu Mo could collect his thoughts, he heard the sound of footsteps.


    "Sir, these are the dishes you ordered."


    The staff served the piping hot beef stewed spare ribs and tomato egg soup.


    At the same time, he pushed the rice to Wu Mo.


    It was 12.30 pm when Wu Mo had his lunch, but it was already 7.00 pm now.


    The long-term hunger had made Wu Mo lose all resistance to delicious food, especially when he smelled the unique aroma of beef. His mouth couldn''t help but salivate.


    He immediately picked up his chopsticks and immersed himself in the dazzling rice.


    It had to be said that not only was the armory rich in a variety of materials, but the forging equipment was also top-notch. Even the food in the canteen was delicious.


    After more than a month, Wu Mo hadn''t even tasted one-third of the dishes in the cafeteria.


    When he thought about how he might have to leave this ce after he hadpleted the improvement of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, Wu Mo suddenly felt a little regretful.


    Twenty minutester... he left the cafeteria under the silvery moonlight.


    With the warm food in his stomach, Wu Mo felt that the cold wind that whistled by his ears was not as cold as it was when he came.


    Back at his personal dormitory, he took off his coat as soon as he entered the room because there was a 24-hour heating system.


    He looked at the time on his phone. It was almost 7.40 pm.


    Due to time constraints and the materials needed to improve the ting, they had already beenpleted.


    Wu Mo didn''t rest for a moment. He returned to his bedroom and locked the door.

 Chapter 357 On The Last Day, The Leaders Block The Door

    Hey on his bed with a calm mind, and the voice in his ears disappeared not long after. By the time he reacted, he was already in the Divine-grade Forging Space.


    He was shrouded by a chaotic dark purple light, and the surrounding area was extremely wide as if there was no end to it.


    Only a small space around the workbench was still glowing.


    It was like a lighthouse at sea that was responsible for guiding the lost home.


    Taking a deep breath, Wu Mo''s divine senses were activated, and he immediately pulled up the system''s Point''s Store.


    Then, he exchanged 800 points for two mini potion bottles of spirit energy.


    ''Let''s begin. I''ll try to finish forging the armor before my spirit power is exhausted,'' he encouraged himself in his heart and went to the workbench to take out all the materials that had been smelted.


    At the same time, he also took out the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s armor that had already been disassembled.


    Its thin pieces of armor were only a few centimeters thick. They were ced on the work table in different groups, waiting for their final moment to be renewed.


    Although the work of melting the prepared materials into liquid and then smearing it on the armor seemed easy, it was still not enough.


    On top of that, even the experienced Wu Mo would need at least four hours toplete everything.


    Besides, in the morning alone, Wu Mo had already stayed in the Divine-grade Forging Space for more than eight hours.


    Therefore, if he wanted toplete all the work, he had to rely on the mini spirit potions.


    He took the materials to the furnace and used his divine senses. Red mes immediately lit up inside the furnace.


    As the 10 fire vents around the furnace were all opened, the mes inside instantly spread out of the cauldron''s mouth, and the temperature of the mes also rose exponentially.


    When the mes reached a high enough temperature to melt the materials without damaging the internal structure, Wu Mo immediately threw in all the materials.


    Then, he concentrated on controlling the fire outlet to maintain the same temperature for a long time.


    Just the step of melting the materials would have taken at least 20 minutes in the real world.


    Although the flow of time in the Divine-grade Forging Space was slowed down, allowing him to aplish things that were not quite possible in the real world,the experience that Wu Mo felt was no different from reality.


    Fortunately, he had enough patience. Whether it was for 20 minutes or 20 days, Wu Mo would stick to his guns and do things with a clear conscience.


    However, the others who had already learned about the military''s confidential documents a week ago were eager to get into action.


    ...


    It was two weekster, and there were still twenty days to the end of the year.


    Today was thest day for Wu Mo to work on the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s modification.


    It was simultaneously an important day for Elder Huang too.


    This was because a lot of prominent leaders would being to the armory today.


    If you want to find out why there were leaders visiting the military armory today, we have to start from half a month ago.


    The cause of this incident was the Three-dimensional Maneuvering Gear developed by Wu Mo as well.


    Due to the shocking test results that came from the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, many military leaders and key officials of various first-tier cities started focusing their attention on Wu Mo''s improvement project.


    They wanted to find an opportunity to experience it for themselves or watch it once the improvements werepleted.


    However, there had been no movement from Wu Mo''s side after the video was uploaded.


    Even though the military leaders kept asking, Elder Huang could not give them an answer.<novelnext></novelnext>


    His behavior wasparable to that of a scumbag who sneaked away after attracting other people''s attention.


    The leaders were not usually spoiled, but at the very least, they were very familiar with the information in each department.


    In the past, they only needed to click a mouse to see what was thousands of miles away. However, that waspletely useless when it came to Wu Mo.


    They had endured this feeling for more than half a month.


    However, there was no news from Wu Mo until thest day of the improvement project.


    The leaders could not sit still and wait to see the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    However, most of them were unable to leave their positions in the organization because they did not have enough authority or because they were tied up with work. As such, they could only be anxious.


    However, there were many higher-ranking leaders who could not sit still and brought their subordinates straight to the armory to block its entrance that day!


    They were prepared to personally witness Lone Wolf actually using the gear this time.


    Moreover, to ensure that the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear would increase the wearer''s attributes more realistically, they also brought several Special Forces members who were as strong as Lone Wolf.


    They nned to go directly to individualbat to satisfy their eyes, and at the same time, they would have a deeper understanding of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    Therefore, the higher-ups had given an order to Elder Huang three days ago. He had to organize all of this on the day that they arrived.


    As for Elder Huang, because he had received orders from his leader, even if he was unwilling, he could only arrange the test site ording to their instructions. He personally contacted Wu Mo at the same time too.


    As early as seven in the morning, Elder Huang had begun preparing.


    Since Wu Mo''s Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear was a military secret, the location had to be hidden enough.


    He discussed it with the deputy director, Cao Jianzhong, a few times. In the end, they decided to set the location at a corner of the armory, an open-air warehouse that had been abandoned for a few years.


    As the terrain in the open-air warehouse was moreplex, it was suitable for individualbat training.


    In addition, the deputy director''s office building was not far from the warehouse, so the rooftop would be the best spectator stand.


    As for Wu Mo''s side, Elder Huang had also arranged for Wei Ge to contact since they had both exchanged contact information previously.


    By the time everything was settled and Wu Mo had set the time, it was already 11.00 am.


    Elder Huang did not have any time to rest because a few military leaders had arrived in Jingdu. They had to bring personnel over to wee them.


    As for Wu Mo, he was still immersed in the forging space, making the final improvements.


    He stood in front of the white workbench, holding a casting pen in his right hand, and drew lines of mysterious ink on the external skeleton of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    When all the ck ink patterns converged, the array immediately released a soft light and then disappearedpletely.


    "It''s finally done!"


    Wu Mo heaved a sigh of relief. After putting down the casting pen in his hand, he immediately whispered, "System, appraise the equipment''s attributes!"


    It had been a long time since Wu Mo hadmunicated with the system. When he called out to the system, he found it a little unfamiliar.


    Fortunately, the system, which had been "asleep" for almost a month, did not disappear. It still responded quickly.


    [Equipment appraisalplete. Five hundred points spent. Remaining points: 275,529. The equipment''s attributes are as follows...]


    The mechanical voice sounded in his mind, and the next second, the system interface immediately popped up in front of Wu Mo. All the attributes of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear popped up.

 Chapter 358 Individual Combat Test

    [Equipment Type: Light armor


    [Name: Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    [Grade: Legendary


    [Equipment Score: 87


    [Equipment Effects: 1. Arm Driven (If the user''s four limbs are disabled, the user can use bioelectricity to control the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear to achieve perfect control)


    [2. Strong Thrust (There is a core regenerative energy source within the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, which can provide the user with the ability to fly for up to five hours at one time. Upon entering thebat state, it can also provide the user with more than four tons of explosive power in an instant).


    [3. Three-dimensional Defense (Aside from the head, the gear''s armor can provide extremely strong protection to the user''s entire body and resist a full-power attack from a seven-star cultivator).


    [4. Brainstorming (The Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s armor has a built-in intelligent AI, which can analyze the situation or problems for the user inbat and enhance the user''s spirit perception and reaction speed by 30%).


    [Array Effect: Tier 2 me-controlling Array (The exoskeleton armor''s protection against fire-type damage is increased by 15%, and the upper limit of the high temperature it can withstand is increased by 800 degrees.)


    [Rune Effect: Steel (When receiving close-range physical attacks, there is a 12% chance for the opponent''s attacks to bounce off. Note: Unable to repel attacks that exceed the defense limit).


    [Equipment Evaluation: For soldiers who love to fight bloody battles and ughter their enemies, this is definitely a valuable armor that onlyes once in a century. It fits their fighting style very well. For disabled people, this will give them hope to stand up again. In short, the forging technique applied this equipment is extremely advanced. Even among all Legendary-grade equipment, there are very few that canpete with it.]


    Wu Mo nced at the lines of data on the system''s panel, and a sense of pride immediately rose in his heart.


    This was especially so when he saw that the appraisal system, which was always extremely harsh on equipment appraisal, had actually given the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear such an evaluation


    His heart was filled with excitement.


    In more than a year''s time, he had forged many pieces of equipment of the same quality. Aside from Mjolnir, which he had sessfully forged by chance, the improved Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear was considered the most difficult equipment for Wu Mo to forge.


    It took him a long time to study the required theoretical knowledge in the early stage. Later, when he started studying the model, Wu Mo would leave his vi early and returnte every day. He even stayed in theboratory building for more than a week.


    After he came to the military armory, he got so busy that he could not even catch his breath. He had a fulfilling and torturous two months.


    Fortunately, his hard work paid off not long after.


    Lone Wolf''s previous visit and the attribute tests he had participated in gave Wu Mo hope that he would soonplete his goal.


    Even though he had gone through countless sleepless nights and his body was clearly exhausted to the extreme, the system''s panel that appeared before him gave him the best answer he could hope for.


    The Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, which had five equipment effects, pushed the limits of the Legendary grade in almost every dimension.


    Through the me-controlling Array, Wu Mo even made up for the exoskeleton armor''s only shoring, which had been a low melting point.


    Unfortunately, for nearly four months in the second half of the year, Wu Mo had been studying the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, so he had basically made no progress in his knowledge of arrays.


    Therefore, his current skills only allowed him to draw Tier 2 magic arrays.


    If it were not for the time constraint, he could have spent some time learning about arrays or asked Elder Huang for advice.


    Perhaps, in the near future, he would be able to enchant a Tier 3 magic array on the exoskeleton armor.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Unfortunately, time was his greatest enemy. Even perfecting his work already made him out of breath, more so if he did other things.


    "Close the interface."


    Wu Mo''s heart trembled slightly, and his senses slowly settled down, naturally withdrawing from the forging space.


    As early as eight o''clock, Elder Huang had contacted him through Wei Ge and exined to Wu Mo that there would be leadersing to visit today. It was regarding the practical test for the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s armor.


    Since Wu Mo had promised that he would finish his improvement work within a month, he did not refuse this time. Instead, he made an appointment with Elder Huang at two o''clock in the afternoon to carry out thebat test in the armory''s open-air warehouse.


    Wu Mo was a little reluctant, though. The Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s improvement had just beenpleted, and he had not personally experienced it yet. He had also invested a lot of energy and material resources into this equipment, and he cherished it immensely.


    However, Wu Mo also wanted to know how the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear would operate in an actualbat test with it five passive equipment effects.


    The previous tests had given him a better understanding of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear and allowed him to judge all of the armor''s abilities through the numbers visible to the naked eye.


    Despite that, what he had learned on paper was shallow. After all, theories were just that, theories.


    On an actual battlefield, no one would stand still and let you strike the perfect blow.


    Therefore, in the history of forging, there had been countless pieces of equipment that were extremely powerful in theory but incredibly weak in actualbat.


    In addition, with help from the military''s leaders, the individual test organized by Elder Huang would be extremely fair, and the risk of idents would be very small as well.


    Hence, it was not a bad idea for Wu Mo to agree to the test.


    Once his consciousness returned to his dormitory, Wu Mo opened his eyes and sat up on his bed.


    He then looked out the window out of habit. Due to the huge difference in temperature between the indoors and outdoors, a lot of mist had condensed on the ss window.


    The round water droplets were affected by the gravitational force, and they slowly fell.


    A few water droplets merged together, immediately forming a thin stream of water that flowed down the windowsill.


    "It''s almost time... I''m going to have lunch first," he whispered.


    Soon after, Wu Mo pushed the door open and arrived in the living room. He kept the work pass on the table into his pocket, put on his coat, and immediately left the staff dormitory building.


    Elsewhere, Elder Huang, along with Cao Jianzhong and several other core subordinates in the armory, drove to the leaders who had just arrived in Jingdu. Finally, at about 10.30 am, they sessfully met up with the three leaders, Lone Wolf, and the special team that was helping with the test.


    Before long, everyone got into the military vehicles. The specially-made vehicles lined up in a row and surrounded the leader''s vehicle in the middle. Then, they immediately began their journey back to the armory.


    Cars lined the busy street on both sides because of the traffic jam.


    In the middle of the empty emergencyne, more than a dozen green military vehicles were moving forth.


    The special vehicle in the lead was not only huge, but its front part was also equipped with a solid anti-ram barrier. It had sharp metal teeth that could seemingly tear all ordinary vehicles in its range of perception into pieces.

 Chapter 359 The Three Lieutenant Generals

    The seven or eight military vehicles behind them were moving at a constant speed, forming an oval space.


    Elder Huang and a few other leaders who had traveled from the military headquarters were sitting in the middle vehicle.


    Within this military vehicle, the military armory''s deputy director, Cao Jianzhong, was driving the vehicle meticulously.


    Meanwhile, Elder Huang was sitting in the passenger''s seat. He kept looking out of the window as held a walkie-talkie in his hand andmunicated with his subordinates on the outside from time to time.


    Sitting in the back of the military vehicle were three middle-aged men of simr age.


    A dozen or so military vehicles were guarding the military vehicle in the middle of the road.


    Therefore, he knew that the three people sitting in the back row were the leaders who had rushed over from the military.


    The highest-ranking leader of North China''s First Military Region, Lu Yuansheng, was sitting in the middle of the back in a casual gray suit.


    The middle-aged man sitting by the window on the right was the divisionmander of the Third Military Region, Shen Hongyuan.


    Thest person sitting on the left was the Eastern Region''s armamentmissioner, Zhuang Zhe.


    The three of them were all lieutenant generals. There was no difference in their positions, but their positions were different.


    Lu Yuansheng and Shen Hongyuan were both mid-stage seven-star cultivators.


    At the same time, they were also the highest-ranking leader in their respective North China military regions.


    On the other hand, Zhuang Zhe was a master cksmith in the middle stage of the seven-star rank. Not only did he serve as amissioner in the Eastern Grand Station District, but he also had many disciples and had taken root in many institutions.


    The three of them were not only famous but also loved by countless soldiers.


    The fact that the White River province was able to remain intact despite the countless attacks from the beasts was due to the three of them.


    "Elder Huang, if we rush to the military armory today, will it have a negative impact on the test this afternoon?"


    Zhuang Zhe looked out of the window at the military vehicles that were clearing the way, as well as the other drivers, who were constantly peeking in their direction. He seemed a little worried.


    "Lord Zhuang Zhe, you can just call me Zhihai. It''s an honor for me and everyone in the armory to have the three of you with us today.


    "So, you can rest assured that I''ve arranged everything for you. You just need to take a short break at the armory, and everything will be carried out as scheduled at two in the afternoon."


    Huang Zhihai could not afford to be addressed as Elder Huang by the military affairsmissioner, Zhuang Zhe, so he immediately exined.


    "Well, whether it''s in terms of seniority or contribution, it''s only right for us younger ones to address you as Elder Huang.


    "Back then, if you hadn''t had the foresight to set up an armory in the capital, I''m afraid, our eastern war zone wouldn''t have enjoyed such perfect support and assistance." Zhuang Zhe smiled and said with a sincere expression.


    Hearing this, Elder Huang appeared quite helpless, and he said in an embarrassed tone, "Now, now, let''s not talk about the past. Compared to your contributions to the field of forging, what I''ve done is simply insignificant. I''m just an old man."


    Lu Yuansheng, who was sitting in the middle of the vehicle''s back seat, shook his head and contradicted Elder Huang''s statement. "Elder Huang, what are you saying? You''ve been in charge of the military armory since it was built. Not only have you led the research and development of countless modern forging equipment, but you''ve also provided the military and the surroundingrge organizations with plenty of talented cksmiths.


    "How can we not mention these contributions?"


    Zhuang Zhe nodded in agreement. "That''s right, Elder Huang. Don''t belittle yourself. Everyone''s hoping for the White River province to grow and prosper. There''s no difference in contribution!"


    "What they''ve said ispletely reasonable. Elder Huang, you don''t have to be so modest."


    Shen Hongyuan patted him on the sleeves and chuckled.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "That''s wonderful to hear. I''ll do as you say then."


    Elder Huang was a little excited. He had seen the lieutenant generals sitting in the back row a few years ago during a meeting.


    He had even met the armamentmissioner, Zhuang Zhe, a few times.


    However, it was the first time that the three lieutenant generals were visiting the armory for an observation.


    He also knew in his heart that the three leaders were mainly visiting for Wu Mo''s Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    Nevertheless, if he could let the leaders look around for a moment, the armory that he had spent half his life building would make them proud.


    After all, even in the entire White River province, there were only a dozen or so leaders with the rank of lieutenant general.


    Moreover, each of them was a big presence in their own area. They were either the highest leaders in their Military Region or the core figures in the war zone.


    Most of the people at this level had the responsibility to guard a region.


    Forget ordinary people, even some local officials would not get to see them in their entire lifetime.


    However, at this moment, three lieutenant generals were sitting in the same military vehicle with him.


    It was impossible to see such a line up of many important officials anywhere but in White River''s annual Military Department meeting.


    Therefore, under such circumstances, how could Elder Huang cling to his status in the armory?


    Although he was already over 70 years old and had no interest in being promoted to nobility, he still had to show some respect to a lieutenant general.


    ? On the way to the armory, the three lieutenants chatted with each other and gained a general understanding of the armory''s situation in the past few years.


    However, in between words, they revealed their concern for Wu Mo and their expectations for the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear from time to time.


    Elder Huang was not offended by this. In fact, he proudly exined Wu Mo''s situation and research results in the past few months.


    The three lieutenants listened with great interest. If it were not for the current circumstances, they would have taken out a pen and paper to write down key information.


    ''As expected of the young man I thought highly of at the exhibition. It''s only been a few months, yet he''s already developed such outstanding equipment.''


    Lu Yuansheng listened to Elder Huang''s story with a smile and simultaneously praised Wu Mo in his heart.


    However, Shen Hongyuan felt differently from Lu Yuansheng, who was sitting in the middle and listening happily.


    The divisionmander of North China''s Third Military Region, who was sitting by the window on the right, was regretful.


    As early as half a year ago, Wu Mo had brought the newly developed Invisibility Armor and watched the red and blue team match in the Third Military Region.


    At that time, he was not in themand room at all because he had other important tasks to do.


    He also missed the best time to get to know Wu Mo.


    Battalion Commander Yang Ming, who participated in the exercise, saw Wu Mo''s great potential back then. He even asked Wu Mo to stay in the military region for a while to meet the divisionmander.


    Unfortunately, Wu Mo did not stay in their military region for long. After the match between the red team and blue team was over, he left in a car.


    Also, it had only been four months ago that Wu Mo developed the extremely powerful Spirit Wave Sword. His reputation resounded throughout the White River province for quite some time as a result.

 Chapter 360 The Leaders Are Here, Waiting For The Test To Begin

    It was then that Yang Ming remembered what had previously happened, and he specifically exined the situation to him.


    However, at that time, he only paid a little attention to it and did not feel any regret.


    It was not until a month ago, when the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear was introduced, that Shen Hongyuan felt extremely regretful that he did not get to know Wu Mo earlier.


    It was also at the same time that he took the young cksmith, Wu Mo, seriously.


    The young man managed to develop three pieces of era-defining equipment in just a year.


    Besides, each of them was even more explosive than the previous one, and that was enough to show the depth of Wu Mo''s forging skills.


    More amazingly, every piece of equipment that Wu Mo had developed passed the military''s mass production evaluation standards.


    In just over half a year, the structure of each machine in the city and the front lines of the war zone were equipped with the equipment developed by Wu Mo, which had a subtle positive influence.


    Every single one of his achievements was enough to attract the attention of the forging masters in the military. Not to mention, Wu Mo did all this alone in merely one year.


    Although Shen Hongyuan did not know much about forging, he was almost certain that Wu Mo would be a master cksmithparable to Zhuang Zhe in the future.


    Wu Mo might even surpass him.


    Just as Shen Hongyuan became immersed in his thoughts, the military vehicle suddenly slowed down.


    He subconsciously turned his head to look out the window, fixing his attention on a high wall not far in front of him.


    The dark-colored concrete wall upied arge area of Shen Hongyuan''s field of vision, while an ancient metal gate connected two high-rise buildings.


    There were a few security guards patrolling the area outside the gate.


    After a short while, Shen Hongyuan''s gaze shifted from the old gate to the metal-framed words on the armory''s door.


    [Armory No. 64.]


    The words were like calligraphy on the que, flying and dancing like dragons.


    They gave off a lively and powerful feeling as he looked at them from afar.


    However, the military armory had gone through a lot of ups and downs since its establishment. The words on the door had be rusty like old men who had been around since the dawn of time.


    A few minutester, the military vehicle''s engine started up again.


    More than a dozen vehicles entered the armory, and they soon parked in the designated area.


    Several leaders got out of the vehicles and walked in with Elder Huang.


    Along the way, Elder Huang introduced the armory''syout before he brought a few leaders into the research facility for a tour.


    He also showed them the forging apparatus that Wu Mo had been using frequently over the past few months and the efficiency of the various modern instruments around him.


    Even though the three lieutenant generals were knowledgeable, Zhuang Zhe was the one who truly understood the field of forging.


    Therefore, when the other two saw the cutting-edge modern equipment in the research facility, as well as the central control console that supplied energy to all the instruments through the pipes, they were amazed.


    "Leaders, thebat test will begin at two o''clock in the afternoon. I''ve prepared some wine for you to enjoy now. I hope that''s alright with you. Shall we move to the dining hall first?"


    After he showed them more than a dozen modern instruments of various sizes, Elder Huang noticed that it was about time and immediately suggested that they eat lunch before going to the arranged open-air warehouse to observe the test.


    "Some simple food will do. Our main purpose here is to understand the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s application on the battlefield, so lunch doesn''t need to be too grand." Lieutenant General Lu Yuansheng ced his hands behind his back and said calmly.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Then, he looked around at the new forging equipment and felt quite satisfied with the armory''s development over the years.


    "We''ll do as Lieutenant General Lu has instructed. We still have duties, and it''s not convenient for us to stay in the capital for too long."


    Shen Hongyuan nodded, having the same thoughts as Lieutenant General Lu.


    His only purpose for taking time off toe here was to see the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s specific abilities with his own eyes.


    It would be even better if he could find an opportunity to talk to Wu Mo.


    One should know that a week ago, when he returned to the Third Military Region from the northern war zone to discuss this matter, Battalion Commander Yang Ming had expressed to him several times a desire toe along and gain some experience.


    However, they were worried that no one would be guarding the military area if the two of them were not around.


    Therefore, Shen Hongyuan could only reject Battalion Commander Yang Ming''s request reluctantly. He nned to wait until he finished watching the test and went back. Then, he would ry the specific situation to Yang Ming orally and through video.


    That was the only way he couldfort his oldrade who had apanied him for many years.


    Therefore, he would not dy the most important thing for the sake of satiating his stomach.


    As for Zhuang Zhe, even though he did not express his opinion, Shen Hongyuan could tell from his anxious expression that he had the same thoughts as him.


    Soon, they finished visiting the research facility and walked to the only dining hall in the armory.


    On the other side, Lone Wolf and the cultivators who were participating in thebat test were also being properly briefed by Cao Jianzhong.


    Not only had everyone enjoyed a sumptuous lunch, but Cao Jianzhong had also arranged a room for everyone after 12 o''clock. He did this to make sure that everyone would be at their best and not dy thebat test in the afternoon.


    It was just that a few cultivators had a good rtionship with Lone Wolf, and they were also very curious about the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear. Not long after they finished eating, they sneaked into Lone Wolf''s room.


    "Pleasee in."


    Hearing the knock on his door, Lone Wolf, who was sitting by the bed, immediately raised his head and responded.


    Very quickly, the door was pushed open, and a few cultivators in their 30s tiptoed into the room.


    At that moment, Lone Wolf was sitting by the bed and bending over to untie the artificial limb from his right leg.


    When the people around them saw this, their originally excited mood instantly died down.


    "If you have anything to ask, just get on with it. You know about my leg, so I don''t need to exin again."


    Lone Wolf raised his head and looked at the few people who were hesitant before he quickly spoke in a calm voice.


    "Well, we mainly want to understand how it feels like to wear the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear. And about the individualbat test that''s going to be held this afternoon, do you really have the confidence to defeat us?


    "Do you need us to go easy on you?"


    After obtaining Lone Wolf''s permission, one of the cultivators immediately spoke.


    His expression was full of excitement because in less than two hours, they would be able to see thetest equipment that the military military hadbeled as ssified.


    Although they were members of the Special Forces, their military rank was not on the level of a major general, so they had no right to learn much about the situation.


    Therefore, as early as a week ago, when they discovered that they would be able to fight with Lone Wolf in a few days, everyone was excited.

 Chapter 361 Dignity

    After all, the lieutenant generals were looking forward to the equipment that Wu Mo had been researching.


    Naturally, the cultivators wanted to know the details.


    However, most of the members of the team had missions toplete. If it were not for the military''s approval of the individual test, the members of the 12 teams would not have had the chance to gather.


    Thebat test would begin in two hours. Although this was something to be happy about, the cultivator was afraid that his words would offend Lone Wolf, so he still sounded a little nervous.


    After all, Lone Wolf''s right leg was now crippled, and hisbat power had been reduced by more than just a little.


    Even with the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s help, hisbat ability might not rise much.


    Not to mention, their true strength was only one rank lower than Lone Wolf''s.


    All of them had received professional training from the special Forces, and theirbat experience was no less than Lone Wolf''s either.


    If this were in the past, Lone Wolf could, at most, fight two of them simultaneously.


    However, in the individualbat test that was about to take ce in a while, Lone Wolf would have to face their entire team while he wore the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    The standard number of people in a Special Forces team was 12, and everyone''s strength was in the middle stage of the six-star rank.


    In addition, they had a lot of experience working together in battle, so they had a tacit understanding with each other.


    If one person wanted to defeat all of their team members in one go on the battlefield, that person would have to be in the early stage or even middle stage of the seven-star rank at the very least.


    Since the difficulty was too high, they were worried that Lone Wolf would not be able to defeat them in the individualbat test.


    At the end of the day, he had just experienced the pain of a broken limb, and they did not want to hurt his confidence on such an important asion.


    More importantly, they found the test unfair.


    Unless someone had absolute power to suppress 12 people, it would not be a fair fight.


    Even if they felt that the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear was quite powerful, it was still extremely difficult to cross such a huge gap in strength.


    In the bedroom, Lone Wolf looked at the nervous expression of the Special Forces member who had just spoken.


    Before the man could finish, he interrupted him without hesitation.


    "This is a test organized by the lieutenant general. If you don''t want to be charged for disobeying orders, you better not hold back.


    "I''m well aware of how much the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear can enhance my abilities," Lone Wolf said in a serious tone.


    "When the timees, just attack. You''ve got skills if you can break through the armor''s defense."


    Seeing Lone Wolf''s serious expression, the Special Forces members exchanged nces.


    Although Lord Lone Wolf had never lied to them in terms of battle and they had personally heard their senior say those words, they still found it a little unreal.


    Even if the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear could withstand the Heavenly Fire Bomb''s attacks, how could it defend against their endless attacks?


    Even if Lord Lone Wolf wore his armor, it would still difficult for him to fight so many people.


    Therefore, they thought that they had already discovered the answer before thebat test even began.


    "Alright then. Since you insist, Lord Lone Wolf, we won''t talk about this anymore."<novelnext></novelnext>


    The member who had been speaking shut his mouth resentfully.


    The others immediately changed the subject and asked, "Since you don''t agree with our discussion, then at least let us know more about the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, Lord Lone Wolf. Otherwise, we''ll be worried, and we might subconsciously hold back, don''t you think so?"


    In the bedroom, the atmosphere gradually became quiet.


    Lone Wolf spotted the sneaky looksing from a few of them, and the anger in his heart could not be contained.


    "You''re really cunning. I''m sure the people in South China have heard about it. Aren''t you just trying to get some information about the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear in advance? Is there a need to ask in a roundabout way?"


    "Umm... About that..."


    Seeing that his unformed scheme had been exposed, the Special Forces member suddenly became embarrassed.


    "That''s because you shut up when we asked you about the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear. Anyway, we''re going to see it with our own eyes in a while, so can''t you tell us two hours in advance?" the Special Forces member said with an aggrieved expression.


    The others around him also nodded to express their sympathy.


    "Alright, I''m going to beat you guys up in a while anyway, so there''s no harm in telling you some things in advance."


    Lone Wolf considered it for a moment and finally agreed to their request.


    "Actually, I can''t describe the experience of using the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear in a short time. But I''ll say a few words.


    "A month ago, I rushed to the armory from the Renhe Medical Center. In the afternoon, I officially put on the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear. After I put it on, I could clearly feel that my whole body was wrapped in a soft quilt, and there was no difort at all." Lone Wolfrecalled as he spoke.


    "A few seconds after I put it on, I could clearly feel that the part where my right leg disappeared became a little numb as if there was a tiny electric current spreading through my body. Then, I magically felt the existence of my right leg. Not only could I use my consciousness to control the armor to walk, but I could also easily fly in the air, like a falcon.


    "Although I''m being a little vague, if there''s a chance in the future, you can experience it for yourself. After all, the control of armor is not difficult. As long as you get used to it for more than ten minutes, you''ll be able to control it like your own arm, as if you''re controlling your own body."


    After that, Lone Wolfy on the bed and began to ask everyone to leave.


    "Okay, I''ve said what I needed to say. It''s lunch break now, so you guys should conserve your energy. Don''t me me for not reminding you. Try not to face me head-on during thebat test in the afternoon, or else you''ll suffer."


    They looked at Lord Lone Wolf, who had already covered himself with the nket and was ready to rest.


    Hearing his confident advice, their expressions changed, and their hearts wavered.


    "Alright, thank you for sharing, Lord Lone Wolf. You can rest first. We''ll meet in an hour."


    The few of them immediately left the room and closed the door.


    In the corridor outside the room, the four of them stood by the railing, their expressionsplicated.


    "Seeing how confident Lord Lone Wolf is, I''m starting to get a sense of what will happen this afternoon. If we really lose the one-on-twelve fight, will it be too embarrassing to face anyone in the future?"


    One of the team members immediately told the others what he was thinking after some deep thought.


    The others exchanged nces with each other, feeling a little uncertain.


    "Forget it. Let''s go back first. We''ll know the result in an hour. Why are you so bothered by this?" another young man with a full beard said in a carefree manner.


    The rest of them seemed to be convinced and walked toward their assigned rooms.


    "Wait a minute... To be safe, let''s ask Deputy Director Cao to prepare some medicine for our injuries. Even if we lose, we have to go back with dignity!"

 Chapter 362 The Open-Air Warehouses Terrain Transformation

    On the second floor of the guest room building, several Special Forces members stood in the corridor for a while and discussed tactical issues regarding thebat test in the afternoon.


    After a series of discussions, the four of them quickly reached an agreement on the battle. It did not take long for them to return to their respective lounges.


    The armory was not quiet in the afternoon. From time to time, the sound of a truck''s engine could be heard in the distance. It was 200 meters away from Wu Mo''s single dormitory. There was also a factory building under construction, and the ear-piercing sound of electric drills often came from it.


    However, Wu Mo, who was sitting at his desk, did not feel disturbed. He was still looking up information about arrays with a serious face.


    In the armory''s warehouse, although there were all kinds of strange andrge amounts of materials, the collection of books rted to forging was extremely shabby.


    After hepleted improvements on the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, Wu Mo realized that his knowledge of casting and runes was too shallow.


    While he hadpleted his work, he could not neglect his studies. If possible, he wanted to make up for his theoretical knowledge as soon as possible.


    He had to master Tier 3 magic arrays and rune techniques as soon as possible.


    While Wu Mo was earnestly searching for and integrating the relevant knowledge of magic arrays and runes, the mobile phone on his table suddenly rang.


    He nced at the time on the screen, and it showed that it was already 1.30 pm in the afternoon.


    "It''s almost time for the individualbat test. I heard that a lieutenant general would being this time. I can''t bete." Wu Mo stood up from his chair as he muttered to himself.


    He quickly turned off hisputer, picked up his phone, put on his coat, and left the single dormitory in a hurry.


    Wu Mo was full of anticipation for the individualbat test, just like everyone else.


    The Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, which could provide the user with all-round attribute enhancement, would go against 12 middle-stage six-star cultivators.


    No one knew what kind of chemical reaction would happen between the two sides.


    Would the 12 Special Forces members be better, or would Lone Wolf who was driving the maneuver gear break out of the siege? Wu Mo''s heart was full of anticipation.


    Although he was very confident in the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear he had developed, the situation on the battlefield was ever-changing. Even he could not guarantee that Lone Wolf would win.


    Before long, Wu Mo arrived at Elder Huang''s office. He immediately saw Wei Ge standing in the corridor.


    "Wu Mo, you''re here!"


    At first, Wei Ge seemed a little depressed, and he had his head lowered as he ruminated on something.


    However, when he saw Wu Mo, his face instantly lit up.


    "Mhmm... I just arrived. You look so worried. Did something happen?"


    Wu Mo nodded. He quickly noticed the strange expression on Wei Ge''s face and asked curiously.


    Even though he had been in the armory for two months, he had only met Wei Ge a few times.


    However, when he first got there, Wei Ge had taken good care of him. Thus, Wu Mo treated Wei Ge as a good friend.


    "Sigh, don''t mention it. When I was arranging lunch, I forgot what Elder Huang told me yesterday. I added food that the lieutenant general didn''t like." Wei Ge sighed and said guiltily.


    "Haha, Elder Huang reprimanded you just because of that?" Wu Mo asked with a smile. He was suddenly curious.


    "Yes."


    Wei Ge nodded his head heavily. In his heart, he could not figure it out either. Elder Huang was usually very tolerant and generous to him. Even if he made some minor mistakes at work, he would not be criticized.


    "Ahem..."


    Wu Mo cleared his throat pretentiously.


    After that, he pretended to look at Wei Ge in confusion and asked, "Did you do it on purpose or identally?"


    Looking at Wu Mo''s face that was asking for a beating, Wei Ge almost spat out a mouthful of blood.<novelnext></novelnext>


    He had thought that Wu Mo was going tofort him.


    Unexpectedly, the guy was actually there to y around.


    When Wu Mo noticed that Wei Ge was about to to flip out in the corridor, he immediatelyughed and said, "Alright, I won''t tease you anymore. I''ll go in and discuss some things with Elder Huang. See youter."


    After saying that, Wu Mo knocked on the door. Once he heard Elder Huang''s response, he pushed the door open and went in.


    Very quickly, the door to Elder Huang''s office was closed again. Looking at the empty spot near the door, Wei Ge could not help butugh.


    "That brat''s an interesting person."


    ...


    At 1.50 pm in the afternoon...


    With Elder Huang''s organization, the individualbat test officially began in the open-air warehouse.


    Wu Mo, the three lieutenants, Elder Huang, and the 13 people who were going to take the test had all arrived.


    There were dozens of cultivators in charge of security around the open-air warehouse.


    The deputy director, Cao Jianzhong, and a few familiar researchers stood nearby. They took out their equipment and prepared to record the test.


    Everyone turned their attention to the open-air warehouse, which was surrounded by wire walls and had only one exit.


    This open-air warehouse had originally been used to store all kinds of casting materials that would not be affected by exposure to the wind and rain.


    However, as the armory continued to develop, more and more workshops were built. The increase in the number of materials increased the armory''s demand for warehouses as well.


    Later on, the area grew, and a new type of warehouse that could store all kinds of materials was built.


    More importantly, the new warehouse was located at the center of entire armory''s development.


    It was less than 400 meters away from the core building, the research facility.


    Since then, the original open-air warehouse had beenpletely abandoned. It was only used to store piles of building materials and forging waste.


    It was basically in a state of being abandoned.


    If Elder Huang had not chosen the open-air warehouse as the location for the individualbat test...


    The ce would have sadly been abandoned forever.


    After a week of renovation, all the trash in the open-air warehouse was taken away.


    Any kind of structure that blocked the line of sight or the flow of battle was also demolished.


    So, the entire open-air warehouse had been empty until now, leaving only dozens of long colored containers and some severely weathered canopies.


    At present, the open-air warehouse upied an area of about 2,600 square meters, which was half the size of a football field.


    The containers that had been deliberately ced around the area were meant to block the participants'' line of sight and scatter their formation.


    It was unlikely that Lone Wolf would be surrounded by 12 Special Forces members not long after he participated in the individualbat test.


    Before the test began, the three leaders visited the venue first.


    After making sure that there was nothing in the open-air warehouse that would affect the result of thepetition, he returned to the entrance in satisfaction.


    The open-air warehouse was vast and had enough space to move around. Moreover, because of the long containers, the participants could also utilize the element of obstruction in battle and aplish more things.

 Chapter 363 The Modified Gear Is Revealed

    "Leaders, are you satisfied with this battle terrain?"


    Elder Huang immediately asked as he stood by the side. He noticed that the three lieutenants had finished their tour and were not dissatisfied with anything.


    "Good, it''s perfect," Shen Hongyuan was the first to speak with a satisfied expression.


    "You''re indeed an elder. You''ve always been meticulous. You''ve even properly solved a problem that we didn''t think of."


    Zhuang Zhe nodded too. He was already looking forward to thebat test.


    "With the cement of those containers, thebinedbat ability of the twelve Special Forces members will be weakened. I''m very satisfied since it''ll be fair to Lone Wolf," Lieutenant General Lu Yuansheng said with a smile.


    He then looked at Wu Mo, who was standing not far away, with eyes full of admiration.


    A few months ago, he had personally awarded Wu Mo the rank of major.


    Now, not long after, Wu Mo had developed such a bombshell.


    Once everything was over, the military would probably reward Wu Mo enough to promote him to a lieutenant colonel or senior colonel.


    Thinking of this, Lu Yuansheng felt a little emotional.


    He was now 53 years old and had spent almost half of his life in the military camp. No one knew how much blood he had shed and how many contributions he had made to reach this point.


    On the other hand, the speed of Wu Mo''s promotion wasparable to that of a rocket.


    He estimated that in another three to five years, Wu Mo might be able to be on equal footing with him.


    Lu Yuansheng''s heart was in turmoil. He quickly looked away from Wu Mo and turned to look at the Special Forces members who had changed their equipment and were ready to enter the open-air warehouse.


    "Begin the test. I''ve been looking forward to this for so long. I can finally see how powerful Wu Mo is!" Lu Yuansheng ordered softly.


    Elder Huang nodded and immediately stepped forward, staring at the 13 people who were preparing to participate in thebat test with a fiery gaze.


    "There are a few rules that you need to pay attention to in this special confrontation.


    "Firstly, the main purpose of this confrontation is to test the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s performance. Therefore, I hope that everyone can be flexible during the battle. You must not harm andprise the safety of yourrades.


    "Secondly, the sensor watch on your wrist can monitor your health condition in real time. If the dial glows yellow, it means that you have suffered minor injuries and need to pay special attention. If the dial glows red, it will be considered a defeat, and you must immediately withdraw from the battlefield."


    Seeing Elder Huang''s stern face, the members of the Special Forces team nodded seriously.


    Then, they lowered their heads and looked at the sensor watches on their wristbands. The screens on their wristwatches were disying their current physical conditions.


    The main information included the heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen content, breathing rate, and so on. It could monitor the wearer''s various data at any time.


    "Thirdly, in the open-air warehouse, aside from the steel wire wall, all other structures and obstacles can be removed. The time limit for the individualbat test is 20 minutes.


    "Fourthly, the main purpose of this individual test is to simte a real battlefield. Therefore, all strategies that may appear on the battlefield can be used in this test, but your safety is of utmost priority. So, in the event of a dangerous situation, you can leave the test field at any time!"


    After Elder Huang finished exining everything, he gave the subordinate beside him a look.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Thetter nodded and immediately led the 12 Special Forces members into the test field.


    The 12 members of the Special Forces, armed to the teeth, entered the arena one after another. They were wearing the mostmon standard armor in the war zone.


    However, everyone used different weapons, and most of them were of Epic grade.


    Soon, the 12 Special Forces members formed a long snake-like formation on thergest open space in the warehouse.


    Then, Elder Huang looked at Wu Mo and said with anticipation, "Wu Mo, I''ve ced people around this open-air warehouse to ensure that no information will be leaked. You can rest assured and bring out your improved Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear."


    When Elder Huang spoke, the three lieutenant generals and the dozens of cultivator guards all turned to look at Wu Mo.


    Their faces, especially that of Lu Yuansheng, Shen Hongyuan, and Zhuang Zhe, were full of hope.


    They had pushed aside all their work and traveled thousands of miles just to see the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear in the capital with their own eyes.


    They wanted to watch up close how the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear developed by Wu Mo would y a great role on the battlefield.


    Since the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear had been ssified by the military, they did not see the armor''s appearance when they met Wu Mo half an hour ago.


    In addition, they had been thinking about it for a month. At this moment, the sense of anticipation and curiosity in their hearts were bursting out the seams. They could not wait to operate the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear to experience it.


    "No problem," Wu Mosaid with a smile.


    ? Then, he snapped his fingers in front of everyone.


    Immediately after, his Interspatial Ring shed with a white light.


    In the next moment, a futuristic-looking, 2.2-meter-tall, light gray mecha appeared before everyone.


    The maneuver gear''s exoskeleton protection system was made up of curved polymer metal tes. Even the joints between the armors were set without any gaps.


    Not only did it retain its high mobility, but its defense was also watertight.


    There was a propeller that provided flight on the back of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear as well.


    After Wu Mo''s careful improvements, the propeller was now smaller, and it provided a smoother steering experience in the air.


    Looking at the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s extremely shocking appearance, even the senior researchers who had been present during the previous test were so stunned that their jaws dropped.


    Meanwhile, the three lieutenant generals had only seen it in pictures but had not personally witnessed it in real life. They were taken aback when they saw the scene.


    It did not matter that the three of them were powerful and knowledgeable.


    The two-meter-tall Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear was just like those futuristic battle armors in science fiction movies. Just looking at it gave people a feeling of great astonishment. The three lieutenant generals were especially shocked when they saw the exquisite workmanship on the armor''s surface and the imprable defense system.


    Forget Lu Yuansheng and Shen Hongyuan, who did not know much about forging, even Zhuang Zhe, who was the Eastern Grand Station''s armamentmissioner, felt numb all over as if an electric current had passed through his body.


    He had been an armamentmissioner for so long, but he had only seen a few pieces of equipment like the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear developed by Wu Mo, which was like a piece of art.

 Chapter 364 The Test Begins

    The Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear in front of him was simply too perfect. Whether it was the ergonomic design or the seamless exoskeleton armor, every part of it revealed an exquisite atmosphere.


    It was hard to imagine how a young man like Wu Mo had managed to reach this level.


    In his impression, unless it was a master cksmith who was stubborn in his heart and overly obsessed with equipment development, he would not spend so much time polishing a piece of equipment.


    Although it had been less than half a year since Wu Mo had developed the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, the equipment that appeared in front of him made him feel as if it was as rich as wine that had been stored for many years.


    Outside the open-air warehouse, the surroundings were so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.


    The security personnel guarding the surroundings could hardly move their eyes away from the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    The expressions of the three lieutenants were more and more interesting. They were like children who had obtained their long-awaited toy and had already lost their self-control.


    "Ahem, Lieutenant Generals, the individualbat test is about to begin. Please follow me to the rooftop to watch the battle."


    Elder Huang was the first to react. He saw that the three leaders were silent like statues, so he immediately reminded them in a low voice.


    "Oh... Oh, okay!"


    Lu Yuansheng''s eyes flickered, and his face was still filled with shock.


    Soon, the four of them walked toward the building that was only a few dozen meters away from the open-air warehouse.


    The three leaders looked back with every step they took as if they were reluctant to leave.


    Seeing the leaders acting as if they were possessed, Elder Huang found it a little funny.


    A piece of equipment that represented thetest smithing technique had changed them into different people.


    They no longer had the slightest heroic bearing and the vigorous demeanor of great generals.


    However, Elder Huang still admired Wu Mo a lot.


    To be able to make the three lieutenants think of him so much with his own strength, he could be considered to have extraordinary abilities.


    In addition, Wu Mo was able to improve the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear to such perfection within a month. This meant that Wu Mo was a person with real means.


    Soon, the four of them entered the building and took the elevator to the sixth-floor rooftop.


    When they pushed the door open and stepped onto the rooftop, the three of them realized that Elder Huang had already finished setting up the ce.


    Not only did they have tables and chairs that were convenient for watching thepetition, there was also a temporary defense array on the rooftop, and several six-star cultivators were stationed around it.


    It made the ce extremely safe.


    "Elder Huang, you''ve put in a lot of effort."


    Shen Hongyuan nodded his head in satisfaction. He was also a little touched.


    Now, it seemed that their decision to go to the capital''s military armory and watch thepetition had been the right one.


    This trip to the capital not only gave him a sense of security, but he could also watch the test up close and find an opportunity to talk to Wu Mo. It was killing two birds with one stone.


    The few of them took their seats by the guardrail on the roof. From this angle, they could see the open-air warehouse below, and their view was constantly wide and clear.


    They did not have to worry about missing any details.


    The few of them looked down. At this moment, outside the door of the open-air warehouse, Lone Wolf had already dismantled his right artificial limb.


    "Get ready to start. You just need to do it the same way you did thest time. You don''t have to deliberately control a certain function."


    Wu Mo handed the palm-sized white remote control to Lone Wolf, who was sitting beside him, before he whispered his instructions.


    "No problem." Lone Wolf nodded and said excitedly.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Then, he held onto the back of a chair and stood up with some difficulty.


    Everyone''s eyes were focused on him, wanting to see the amazing wearing function of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    Lone Wolf''s expression revealed his determination. He directly pressed the remote control for the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear one meter away.


    Soon, the surrounding people heard the sound of electric currents.


    The next second, the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear in front of him seemed to be guided by something and automatically disassembled into countless pieces.


    Then, like mas, they attached themselves to Lone Wolf''s thighs, chest, and arms.


    Sensing the long-lostfort from all over his body, Lone Wolf subconsciously closed his eyes and opened his arms at the same time. It was as if he was embracing the body of the goddess of fate.


    Before everyone''s gaze, Lone Wolf, who had originally been wearing simple clothes, was now covered in gray exoskeleton armor from top to bottom.


    In just a few seconds, only his head was left exposed.


    At the same time, his body also grew from 1.8 meters to 2.2 meters.


    The Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear seemed to be tailor-made for Lone Wolf as it left him without the slightest feeling of bulkiness and inconvenience.


    Lu Yuansheng noticed that the appearance of the improved mobile armor on him seemed to be a little different from the first time he saw it.


    He could not help but p his hands in admiration.


    Over the past month, Wu Mo had not only solved the internal problems of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, but he had also carefully polished the shape of the protective armor.


    Now, as Lone Wolf was wearing the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, Lu Yuansheng did not find it bulky at all like he did the first time. He even had the illusion that this Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear had been tailor-made for Lone Wolf.


    "The surprise Wu Mo has brought us is really big."


    Zhuang Zhe, who was sitting on the couch, was full of praise. He also felt that the 12 Special Forces members might not be a match for Lone Wolf.


    Lone Wolf, who had been wearing the artificial limb earlier, gave people the feeling that he was a hero who was born at the wrong time. Although his appearance never changed, he had given off an aura of someone who was about to die.


    But now, Lone Wolf, who was wearing the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, no longer had the slightest feeling of confusion and frustration. Instead, he had a kind of self-confidence that allowed him to look down on the world and keep calm.


    It was as if the 12 Special Forces members were not qualified to be his enemies but were just random soldiers that he could easily defeat.


    "Interesting. It looks like the test that''s about to begin will be very exciting."


    Shen Hongyuan also noticed the change in Lone Wolf''s expression, and his face immediately revealed an expression of anticipation.


    At two o''clock in the afternoon, the individualbat test for the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gearmenced as scheduled.


    Wu Mo felt a little nervous as he watched Lone Wolf walk slowly toward the open-air warehouse.


    "Lone Wolf, the stage is set. You can go all out!" he muttered expectantly.


    The deputy director, Cao Jianzhong, and a few senior R&D staff immediately took out their video recording equipment and began to film.


    In the open-air warehouse, 12 members of the Special Forces in standard armor stood straight in ce.


    A momentter, the sound of wind breaking came from above their heads.


    Before they could react, Lone Wolf had sessfullynded more than 10 meters away from them.


    "D*mn, Lord Lone Wolf''s appearance is a little cool," the Special Forces member with the codename "Rat" said to hispanions in surprise when he saw Lord Lone Wolf falling from the sky.


    "The Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear looks really powerful. No one should go easy on it in this fancy game," Boar, whose figure was slightly stronger than the other members, reminded in a timely manner.

 Chapter 365 Eliminated, A Shocking Slash

    "Nonsense. This is abat test led by the three lieutenant generals. If any of you don''t want to do it, just sit this one out and conserve your strength."


    The team member codenamed Ram pouted, thinking that Boar did not have to mention this at all.


    "Let''s start then. Everyone, act ording to the n. Now, we''re all not certain about the true strength of Lord Lone Wolf who''s wearing the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear. Don''t act alone."


    "That''s true. If we can''t even win one against twelve, where will we put our old faces?" Ox and Dragon said respectively.


    Then, the team immediately spread out and surrounded Lone Wolf.


    Seeing that hisrades were ready, Lone Wolf immediately pulled out the long sword from the weapon slot on the right side of the armor.


    The entire open-air warehouse was filled with the tense atmosphere of a battlefield.


    Everyone present was above the middle-stage six-star rank. Any attack they made would be a thunderous blow that ordinary people could not withstand.


    Therefore, everyone held their breath and stared at the 13 people in the open-air warehouse who were about to fight.


    The cold wind was bone-chilling, and their breath turned into white mist.


    Everyone tensed their muscles, ready to fight at any moment.


    "Sss... Huu."


    Lone Wolf took a deep breath.


    He knew that before hepletely understood the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s specific amplification of hisbat ability.


    The 12 members from the Special Forces would not make a move easily.


    Therefore, he had to take the lead in this battle.


    Holding his breath, Lone Wolf swept his gaze across the 12 people in front of him.


    Then, he twisted his wrist that was holding the sword a little, lowered his body slightly, and slowly moved his feet forward.


    When the others saw Lone Wolf''s actions, they immediately understood that he was about to make a move.


    As a result, they became even more focused, and it looked like they were about to gather.


    Even if two or three of them could not withstand Lone Wolf''s lightning strike, as long as they were together, they would definitely be able to suppress him.


    After all, the three lieutenants must have considered the bnce of power between the two sides before carrying out thisbat test.


    This meant that even if Lord Lone Wolf wore the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, his strength would not increase too much.


    At the very least, he couldn''t defeat all of them by himself.


    This also meant that as long as they made good use of their numbers advantage, they would not be at a disadvantage in a short time.


    Just as their vignce reached its peak, Lone Wolf, who had been standing more than 10 meters away, suddenly moved.


    His body was like that of a leopard, and in the blink of an eye, he had crossed a distance of more than 10 meters.


    The jetpack behind the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear was also shing with blue mes at this moment, helping Lone Wolf''s speed to increase by another level.


    "Take this!" Lone Wolf shouted.


    He held his sword with both hands and shed at one of the team members'' shoulders.


    The 12 Special Forces members reacted very quickly. The ones who were closer to him wielded their swords to block his attack, while the rest dodged to the side and attacked him with their weapons.


    Gusts of strong wind blew around him, but Lone Wolf, who was being attacked from three sides, still looked calm.


    The long sword in his hand was powerful and heavy, easily forcing back four fighters who were blocking him. Then, he unhurriedly pulled out his de to defend. With the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, his agility was greatly improved.


    Lone Wolf easily diffused the attacks from both sides.


    "Hmph, interesting."


    His deep eyes flickered, and in the end, he took a few steps back and suddenly attacked a team member on the right.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Everyone watched as Lone Wolf waved his heavy long sword like a light whip. White light from the des emerged one after another, almost forming an imprable, whistling toward the Special Forces member whom he had identified as his target.


    Although thetter''s strength was slightly inferior, he had extremely richbat experience.


    With just a nce, he could see the weak point of Lone Wolf''s sword-wielding stance.


    If he could deviate the force of Lone Wolf''s sword by 30%, the de''s light, which filled the sky, would dissipate like bubbles.


    Having found an opportunity to break his move, the Special Forces member naturally would not let it go.


    However, he had forgotten that hisrades had told him to pay attention to one thing before the battle: Never act alone when facing Lone Wolf''s attack.


    However, on the battlefield, victory and defeat could be decided with a single thought. This was especially so for the experienced Special Forces members. When faced with the enemy''s weakness, they would subconsciously attack.


    As for the warnings of his other team members, he had long forgotten them.


    Therefore, before the other members could arrive to support him, this Special Forces member with the codename, Snake, had already made the first move.


    He held his Epic weapon called Shadowtooth and rushed toward Lone Wolf without hesitation.


    Relying on his outstanding dynamic vision and prediction ability, Snake sessfully stabbed Shadowtooth in the weakest point of Lone Wolf''s long sword.


    It was so smooth that it seemed like Lone Wolf had allowed it to happen.


    Before Snake could celebrate, he suddenly realized in horror that Lone Wolf had pulled the long sword, which he had knocked off course, back to its original trajectory.


    Seeing that the sharp long sword was about torain down on him, Snake immediately pulled out his sword to defend himself at that critical moment.


    At the same time, he retreated at an extremely fast speed.


    However, he continued to misjudge Lone Wolf''s current strength.


    Before he could take two steps back, the long sword had already smashed down on him, colliding with his weapon named Shadowtooth. The hit gave off an ear-piercing sound of metal shing.


    ng!


    Snake could only feel a huge force pouring down on his sword.


    At the same time, his entire right hand went numb, and the weapon in his hand fell to the ground with a ng.


    A stream of blood spurted out from the web between Snake''s thumb and index finger. On top of that, his entire body was simultaneously sent flying like a sparrow with broken wings.


    "Snake!"


    A few of them who were a step toote shouted anxiously when they saw theirpanion fly back.


    However, they did not have any extra time to react. Lone Wolf was like an insatiable beast, and he did not hesitate tounch a fierce attack on them.


    His sword technique was like a chaotic gale, without any order, but it forced them to retreat step by step. They almost could not hold on.


    It was then that they truly understood the principle of breaking all techniques with one force.


    Lone Wolf, who was equipped with the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, was more than twice as strong as before.


    Each strike from him was enough to force them back a few steps.


    There was no room for them to fight back.


    On the other hand, Snake, who had been sent flying, was shocked.


    At this moment, he felt as if his entire body had been torn apart. He had lost all strength, and even getting up was extremely difficult.


    He looked at the sensor watch on his wrist again. It was glowing blood red, indicating that he had been eliminated.


    "Gasp... It hasn''t even been three minutes since the start of the match, and a member of the Special Forces has already been eliminated."


    The three lieutenant generals were shocked to see what had happened in the open-air warehouse.


    One sh had already produced such an outstanding effect. Only the heavens knew how powerful Lone Wolf''s true strength was!

 Chapter 366 Codename, The Twelve Zodiacs

    The Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear had given Lone Wolf an immeasurable strength boost. From the short confrontation, the three lieutenants could see that his mobility and reaction time had also been greatly enhanced.


    Shen Hongyuan, who was sitting next to the railing on the rooftop, could clearly sense it.


    This was because Lone Wolf''s Special Forces team was currently stationed in North China''s Third Military Region. Bald Eagle was also considered one of his subordinates.


    After more than a year of getting along, he was very familiar with both of their strengths. He had even sparred with Lone Wolf twice.


    Half a year ago, Lone Wolf''s strength had been at the peak of the six-star rank. In addition, he had been in the prime of his life. In terms of speed and agility, he had been better than others. Therefore, his realbat strength had almost reached the level of the strongest person below seven stars.


    Since Bald Eagle''s focus in cultivation had been different from Lone Wolf''s, he might not have been a match for Lone Wolf in closebat. However, he had more long-range moves and was even more powerful than Lone Wolf on the battlefield.


    Shen Hongyuan had spent more than a year with the two Special Forcesmanders. In addition, he had also sparred with Lone Wolf twice. Therefore, he knew Lone Wolf''s moves and his sword techniques better than anyone else present.


    As such, when he saw that Lone Wolf had actually sent the Special Forces member flying with one strike, the shock on his face was even more intense.


    Although the Special Forces member were one rank lower than that of Lone Wolf, both of them had undergone rigorous training and had richbat experience.


    Logically speaking, it was impossible for Lone Wolf to gain such a huge advantage with three moves.


    Moreover, there were almost a dozen other Special Forces members helping out in the warehouse battlefield. Snake should not have been eliminated so quickly.


    "It seems that we have all underestimated the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear."


    Hongyuan sighed on the surface, but the excitement deep in his eyes became even more difficult to hide.


    In terms of actualbat, the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear provided Lone Wolf with a huge amount of strength and agility. It was extremely practical even on the battlefield.


    Meanwhile, the 12 Special Forces members had a tacit understanding with each other. Each time, three to five of them would attack simultaneously.


    There were also people on the side who were closely watching Lone Wolf''s movements. Once there was an opening, they would attack him together.


    However, Lone Wolf relied on his strength that was enough to change a person''s face. He stood firm as everyone surrounded him and even had time to counterattack.


    "Lone Wolf''s swordsmanship is already bold and unrestrained. It''s not a problem for him to fight many people on the battlefield. Now, with the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear and the bonus attributes, it''s impossible for the Special Forces members to finish the battle quickly."


    Lu Yuansheng''s eyes flickered as he tapped the table with his index finger and analyzed the fight in a low voice.


    "They lost a member as soon as the battle started. It''s even more difficult for them to win now. They have to change their strategy." Zhuang Zhe took a sip of tea and said with interest.


    The more perfect the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear was on the battlefield, the more significant their visit to the capital was.


    As long as Lone Wolf could eliminate half of the Special Forces members in this battle, it would be enough to prove that the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s performance on the battlefield was extremely impressive.


    At that time, they would jointly submit a letter to the eastern war zone''s Arms Minister, asking the military to quickly invest resources and approve mass production.


    What they needed to do now was quietly wait for the results of the individualbat test.


    Back in the open-air warehouse, when the other Special Forces members realized that theirrade, Snake, had been severely injured by Lone Wolf''s de, they immediately pulled back and temporarily escaped Lone Wolf''s heavy de.


    "I''m sorry, I''ve dragged everyone down."


    Snake clutched his chest with one hand and struggled to get up. Then, he staggered out of the warehouse.


    The light sensor on his wrist was still emitting a red glow and beeping to show that he was injured.<novelnext></novelnext>


    When the others saw how lonely Snake looked from the back, they felt a little upset.


    Although a serious injury in this test only meant the person''sbat effectiveness was affected and there was no danger to his life, they still felt a little guilty when they saw their team member being eliminated.


    Three of them who had nned to help Snake earlier could nit help but think that if they had been a step faster, they might have been able to save him.


    At the same time, Snake''s elimination started a fire in all of their hearts.


    Wearing the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, Lone Wolf''s strength was no longer in the realm that they previously knew.


    His strength and speed had already broken through the limits of the seven-star rank.


    He was almost on the same level as Shen Hongyuan.


    In addition, Lord Lone Wolf could fly freely and surpass the limits of gravity. In terms ofbat, he was like a tiger with wings, which meant they had to be 120% vignt.


    "Have youe up with a n? I''m going to make my move."


    Lone Wolf stood on the spot with his sword in hand and spoke with a smile in his eyes.


    At this moment, he felt as if he was experiencing the spring breeze and watching the flowers in Chang''an.


    The improved Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear was much better than the first version in terms offort and control.


    The feeling of being able to freely control his four limbs made him almost return to his peak a few years ago.


    It was as if his right leg had never been amputated. Even the hidden injuries on his body, big and small, that had been caused by years of war, had disappearedpletely.


    Lone Wolf''s body felt as light as a feather, and he could exert a force of 10,000 kilograms with a casual wave of his hand.


    He was like a fierce general who could hold off 10,000 enemies on the battlefield.


    This wonderful, beautiful, and irresistible experience made him feel that the one month of waiting was worth it.


    They noticed that Lone Wolf was about to attack.


    A few of the Special Forces members not far away subconsciously took two steps back. However, they quickly realized that such behavior would lower their morale, so they braced themselves and stood their ground.


    "Lord Lone Wolf is too arrogant. I won''t back down. Let''s strike first!" Dragon roared as he held a halberd.


    The people around him immediately circted their spirit energy and attacked Lone Wolf from the center, left, and right.


    Seeing that the Special Forces member had made the first move, Lone Wolf grinned with a satisfied expression.


    He swung his long sword gently and rushed toward Dragon without dodging.


    Dragon was one of the stronger closebat fighters in the Special Forces, although he was not a threat to Lone Wolf for the time being.


    However, as the battle dragged on, the spirit energy in his body would gradually be consumed. Consequently, Dragon''s threat to him would be greater and greater, so it was a good idea to get rid of him first.


    Seeing that Lone Wolf was going to attack Dragon with his long sword, the rest of the Special Forces members immediately saw through his n. The members on both sides immediately gave up on closebat.


    Instead, they activated the spirit energy in their bodies and condensed the spirit power in their swords before they attacked Lone Wolf''s unprotected head.

 Chapter 367 Nine-Star Dragon Trapping Array

    The spirit power was attached to the weapon, and it could be turned into a material object with a gentle wave.


    As long as the sword''s light and spirit energy hit the enemy, they could cause realceration to the target. If the opponent was not strong enough to withstand the long-range attack, he or she would likely suffer fatal damage.


    It was just that forming long-range attacks consumed too much spirit power. Unless it was necessary, most cultivators would choose closebat.


    But of course, if they could use long-range weapons to attack, spirit energy consumption would be greatly reduced. Magic Crystal Cannons and all kinds of hot weapons that could be driven by spirit energy were good examples.


    However, the hit rate of long-range weapons was a problem. Adding on the fact that they were notmon in the market, only a few cultivators had long-range weapons.


    Coincidentally, the dozen or so Special Forces members who were fighting in the open-air warehouse were more skilled at closebat.


    Therefore, in Lone Wolf''s eyes, the long-range sword aura that they had condensed was just a toy with a gorgeous appearance.


    This was because his bestrade, Bald Eagle, was a cultivator skilled in long range attacks.


    If any of the Special Forces members before him were Bald Eagle, he would not be as calm as he was now. He would probably have fled like a rat.


    Obviously, Bald Eagle was still on a mission issued by the military headquarters, so it was impossible for him to be there to spar with him.


    Therefore, Lone Wolf did not have any concerns. He did not even look at the sword auras and light, which were shooting at him from all directions.


    With the heavy de in his hand, he had unstoppable momentum. With just two simple shes, the defense that Dragon and another three soldiers had set up was quickly broken.


    After forcing the four people before him to retreat, Lone Wolf lowered his body slightly and dodged three sword auras. Then, he calmly turned around and shed back at them.


    The edge of his de instantly turned several long-range attacks into mush.


    With the support of dense spirit energy, the Epic-grade long sword had reached a level where it could cut through iron and gold as if they were mud.


    No one in the entire open-air warehouse could stop its sharpness.


    Lord Lone Wolf grew increasingly audacious as the battle progressed, while the dozen or so Special Forces members had their hands full for a long time. Even so, they could notnd an effective hit.


    Dragon was anxious, but he could not find a good solution.


    Lone Wolf was holding a long sword in his hand, and no one could enter within three meters of him.


    They were also cultivators skilled in closebat. If they charged forth, it would be like hitting a rock with an egg.


    "There''s another 20 minutes left. Let''s just go all in!"


    "Lord Lone Wolf is too powerful. No one is going to be his match in a one-on-one fight. Let''s get into formation!"


    A few Special Forces members spoke out and started discussing.


    The current situation was not in their favor. If they did not take action now, they would definitely be defeated by Lord Lone Wolf.


    Rather than passively defending, it was better to take the initiative to attack and fight for a way out as if they were on an actual battlefield.


    "Good! We''ll use the Nine-star Dragon Trapping Array that''s specially used to deal with high-ranking beasts! Let''s end this test!"


    Dragon had seemingly made up his mind. The other members around him approved of his strategy and nodded in agreement.


    The so-called Nine-star Dragon Trapping Array was actually a high-tier array that had been passed down in the war zone.


    The goal was to use it against high-ranking beasts that were difficult to deal with on the battlefield.


    The Nine-star Dragon Trapping Array made use of the advantage of numbers to concentrate everyone''s power on a fierce beast.


    The standard Nine-star Dragon Trapping Array required at least nine people toplete. The more people there were, the more powerful the Nine-star Dragon Trapping Array was. It could even be set up by 36 people at a time.


    The trapping array''s strength was its ability to transfer part of the spirit energy in one person''s body to others at any time, forcibly increasing the strength of one or more people.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Moreover, the trapping array could also increase the casters'' agility and theirbat speed. The enemy would be tired of dealing with them, and once the enemy revealed a w, it would be killed in one blow.


    To achieve this magical effect, every caster had to carry a specially-made energy stone.


    These energy stones were all produced by the military in the war zone because the cost of production was too high, and the formation required everyone to be on the same page and to have considerablebat experience.


    Thus, only the Special Forces were equipped with them.


    Furthermore, since the Special Forces members could receive an emergency mission at any time, everyone would carry a special energy stone with them.


    It was precisely because each of them fulfilled this prerequisite that Dragon chose to use the Nine-star Dragon Trapping Array to fight Lone Wolf.


    After all, dozens, if not hundreds of Rank 7 beasts had died from the Nine-star Dragon Trapping Array.


    If even Rank 7 beasts with thick skin could not withstand the Nine-star Dragon Trapping Array''s destructive power, Lone Wolf would not be able tost long in the array, even with the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s protection.


    Soon, every Special Forces member on the battlefield quickly activated the special energy stones with his spirit power.


    "Oh, it looks like you guys have changed your tactic again!"


    Looking at the faint light emanating from their chests, Lone Wolf stood up with his sword in his hand and responded with interest.


    "Hmph, enough nonsense. Get into formation!"


    Dragon snorted coldly. Then, he rushed toward Lone Wolf like lightning.


    Seeing that Lone Wolf was attacking again, the rest of the Special Forces members quickly dodged and closed the distance between them.


    Lone Wolf knew that they were preparing an array.


    However, he had no intention of throwing his sword out to mess up the formation. Instead, he stood where he was and looked at them calmly.


    With a sh, the remaining 11 Special Forces members got into formation.


    At this moment, nine of the members formed a nine-pointed star, with Lone Wolf''s position being at the end of the Nine-star Dragon Trapping Array.


    Everyone was the same distance away from him, which meant that if they attacked at the same time, Lone Wolf would not be able to deal with all of them.


    The other two members of the Special Forces stood on the left and right of the array.


    If one observed carefully, they would notice that there was a faint light connecting their chests.


    The two Special Forces members on the left and right were responsible for transferring the energy in their bodies to the array.


    The remaining nine members could use it freely. The existence of the Nine-star Dragon Trapping Array was like an energy storage station.


    It could help them instantly increase their strength and give them an agility bonus.


    Now that the Nine-star Dragon Trapping Array had been formed, Lone Wolf, who was standing at the center, could clearly feel that the air around him had be thicker.


    The nine people had firmly locked onto his aura. Unless he could force his way out of the encirclement, he would definitely be struck by a thunderbolt.


    On the rooftop 100 meters away,the three lieutenant generals appeared conflicted when they saw that the 11 Special Forces members had sessfully trapped Lone Wolf.


    "Why didn''t Lone Wolf dodge? He clearly had enough time to leave the encirclement before the trapping array was formed."


    Seeing that the nine of them had locked onto his aura, the array was nowpletely formed.


    The armamentsmissioner, Zhuang Zhe, could not sit still all of a sudden.

 Chapter 368 In Danger, The Exoskeleton Armors Super Protection

    "Hehe, when the test is too easy, it might not be a bad idea to increase the difficulty manually."


    Su Hongyuan, who was abat expert, could tell what Lone Wolf was really thinking.


    Therefore, his expression was still as rxed as before.


    "I don''t think so. Now that the Nine-star Dragon Trapping Array has been formed, even most Rank 7 beasts won''t be able to escape. Even if Lone Wolf has the support of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, this is still a little too much."


    Lieutenant General Lu Yuansheng looked a little dissatisfied. He felt that Lone Wolf''s actions were too childish.


    The battlefield was full of danger, and a single decision could seal a person''s fate.


    Even he was not 100% confident that he could break through the trapping array formed by the Special Forces, much less Lone Wolf, who was only at the peak of six stars.


    When it came to such an array, the stronger the caster was, the more powerful its effect would be. Lone Wolf was already at a disadvantage when fighting 12 people alone, and now he was trapped by the array.


    Under such circumstances, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens to kill defeat Special Forces members toplete the test.


    At this moment, the lieutenant generals had different opinions.


    Elder Huang, who was standing at the side, felt a little conflicted when he saw this scene.


    His style of doing things was always to strive for perfection. He was even more meticulous before the three lieutenant generals. If thebat test ended up being a failure because of Lone Wolf''s actions, he would be in trouble.


    Not only would the three lieutenant generals have made a wasted trip, but all his efforts would also go to waste.


    "This young man is too impetuous. Can''t he eliminate five members andplete the test before the array is formed?"


    Elder Huang felt a little helpless. In his opinion, Lone Wolf had countless opportunities to attack in the first 10 minutes of the individualbat test.


    As long as he found the right rhythm, it would not be difficult to eliminate five Special Forces members, considering their currentbat ability.


    If he had been even a little vignt, he would not have allowed the other 11 fighters toplete their formation.


    Now that the situation was set, they all felt that Lone Wolf had fallen into a dilemma.


    The expressions of the people on the rooftop were a littleplicated, and no one knew what they were thinking.


    In contrast, Wu Mo, who was standing at the entrance of the open-air warehouse, was as calm as usual. He even had a smile on his face, as if he was looking forward to it.


    "This time, things seem to be going in a bad direction for Lone Wolf."


    The deputy director, Cao Jianzhong, shook his head. He was also worried for Lone Wolf.


    A few senior researchers had also gathered together to discuss something in low voices. Suddenly, the atmosphere around them was heavy.


    Looking at the many Special Forces members who had formed a circle around him in the open-air warehouse, Lone Wolf''s expression remained calm.


    He looked at the sensor watch on his wrist. It had been 12 minutes since the test began, and it appeared that he had made no progress.


    However, in such a short period of time, he hadpletely adapted to the control state of the improved Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear through testing the waters.


    "There are still eight minutes left. If you have any trump cards, hurry up and use them." Lone Wolf looked around and said lightly.


    "Do it!"


    Dragon growled with a gloomy expression.


    In the next moment, Tiger, who was standing behind Lone Wolf on the right, took the lead to attack with a thick double-edged sword in his hand.


    He was like a ghostly figure as he charged at Lone Wolf.


    The spirit energy in Tiger''s body gushed out, and with a slight shake of his wrist, four visible sword auras in the shape of a square shot toward Lone Wolf''s head, wrists, and abdomen.<novelnext></novelnext>


    The speed of Tiger''s sword was extremely fast. The thickness of the four long-range sword aura attacks showed that he had the strength of an early seven-star cultivator.


    Lone Wolf knew that Tiger''s abilities had improved so quickly in such a short time because of the energy from the Nine-star Dragon Trapping Array.


    Facing an attack that was equivalent to that of a Seven Star realm cultivator, he had to be serious.


    Seeing the four sword aurasing at him, Lone Wolf shouted and shook the long sword in his hand.


    The first two sword auras were immediately shattered by Lone Wolf''s de.


    However, the two sword auras that were releasedter were extremely fast, and Lone Wolf only had time to block it with his saber.


    He took his opponent''s attack head on.


    ng! Bang!


    As he collided with the sword aura, everyone heard two muffled soundsing from the center of the Nine-star Dragon Trapping Array.


    One of the two undamaged sword auras was blocked by the de of his long sword, while the other sword aura hit his left arm.


    The sword aura''s huge power forced him to take a few steps back.


    Lone Wolf, who had been hit by the sword aura, only felt his left arm shake slightly. He did not suffer any substantial damage.


    Even so, his heart still ached.


    That was because the sword aura that wasparable to the sword aura released by a seven-star cultivator had left a clear white mark on the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s protective armor.


    "Holy sh*t! The defense strength of this Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear is so high. Even Tiger, whose strength has broken through the limit of the seven-star rank, can''t cause any substantial damage to it with one strike," the Special Forces member codenamed Monkey eximed in surprise when he saw the heaven-defying defensive capabilities of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    "There''s nothing to be surprised about. Even the Heavenly Fire Bomb couldn''t destroy the armor''s protection. Your strength has only been increased to early stage of seven stars. It''s no surprise that you can''t break his defense," Dragonanalyzed with an indifferent expression.


    "Next, we will help you increase your strength to the middle stage of seven stars and try to end the battle with one strike. Before we defeat Lord Lone Wolf, everything will go ording to n. We can''t give him any more time to catch his breath."


    After giving his instructions in a low voice, he immediately activated the spirit power in his body. At the same time, the special energy stone on his chest erupted with a brilliant light.


    The rest of them immediately nodded and did as they were told. All the energy in their bodies was supplied to the Nine-star Dragon Trapping Array.


    This way, Tiger would be able to use the spirit energy in the formation to forcibly raise his strength to the middle stage of seven stars.


    The difference between the beginning and middle stages of the seven-star rank would be increasingly obvious.


    No matter how strong the defense of Lone Wolf''s armor was, it was impossible for him to withstand the attacks of a seven-star cultivator in the middle stage without being injured.


    Even if they could not defeat Lone Wolf with one strike, the nine of them could still mobilize the spirit energy in the array at any time.


    When that happened, Lone Wolf would not be able to withstand their continuous attacks despite his great strength.


    More importantly, maintaining the array also consumed spirit energy, so they could not afford to waste time. They had to end the battle as soon as possible.


    After hearing Dragon''s instructions, Tiger no longer hesitated.


    He held his thick double-edged sword upside down and rushed toward Lone Wolf at an extremely high speed.


    "Good!"


    Lone Wolf opened his eyes wide, revealing a killing intent that was almost tangible.


    Faced with Tiger, who was far stronger than him, Lone Wolf did not retreat. Instead, he advanced.

 Chapter 369 Dangerous Environment

    The spirit energy in his body poured out and flowed into the de.


    The de, which was originally silver in color, now emitted a dazzling golden light with the nourishment of his spirit power.


    The muscles on Lone Wolf''s body tensed up as he brandished the long, 20-pound sword.


    In the face of Lone Wolf''s overwhelming murderous intent andyers of sword aura attacks...


    The thought of retreating rose in Tiger''s heart for the first time.


    However, the surging spirit power in his body quickly made him confident again.


    He held the thick double-edged sword in his hand and attacked Lone Wolf like an eagle.


    The sword light in his hand erupted with great brilliance, and the spirit energy shield on the surface of his body gradually became solid.


    "Let''s go!"


    He lowered his body slightly, then flicked his wrist and thrust his sword at Lone Wolf''s throat.


    The bright de instantly broke through theyers of light with an unparalleled momentum, as if it would not stop until it pierced through Lone Wolf''s throat.


    Soon, the long sword and the thick sword met.


    ng!


    The sound of metal shing reverberated.


    The two terrifying spirit energies on the des immediately eroded each other.


    At the same time, a blinding light burst out in the air.


    What followed was a terrifying air wave that could send anyone flying.


    It was visible to the naked eye, and it spread in all directions, blowing the dust and debris on the ground everywhere.


    Fortunately, there was no one else in therge open-air warehouse.


    Moreover, the 11 Special Forces members were not affected by the st because they were in the Nine-star Dragon Trapping Array.


    However, inparison, Lone Wolf seemed to be in a more miserable state.


    His own abilities were still stuck at the peak of the six-star level. Even with the help of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, he could not face Tiger, who had advanced to the middle stage of the seven-star rank, head on.


    Soon, the confrontation between the two spirit powers reached its end.


    The spirit energy that Lone Wolf had poured into his long sword was being pushed back. At the same time, the Epic-grade long sword was now full of cracks as if it wouldpletely break apart in the next second.


    On the battlefield, Tiger saw that Lone Wolf was no match for him in a head-on confrontation. Not only was he being forced to step back, but his weapon was also on the verge of breaking.


    He immediately followed up with another attack, and with a stomp of his feet, he attempted to strike Lone Wolf''s unprotected neck.


    However, at this critical moment, Lone Wolf pounced on Tiger without dodging. It looked like he wanted to get rid of the weapon in his hand and fight Tiger in closebat.


    The man''s neck was about toe into close contact with the thick double-edged sword''s de.


    At this critical juncture, Tiger actually hesitated for a moment.


    He was afraid that if he did not hold back, he would seriously injure Lone Wolf.


    After all, this was only a test, not a real battle between mortal enemies.


    Right then, the other Special Forces members in the formation felt their hearts rise to their throats when they saw Lord Lone Wolf''s irrational behavior.


    "What''s happening? Lord Lone Wolf actually took the initiative to move closer to Tiger!"<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Is this a desperate bet? Is Lone Wolf betting on the chance that Tiger wouldn''t really make a move?"


    Rat, who was still transferring spirit energy to the Nine-star Dragon Trapping Array, asked in surprise upon witnessing the dangerous scene.


    "No... Lord Lone Wolf respects every battle, and he wouldn''t disregard the safety of his other team members for victory," Ox immediately denied it not far away.


    "Lord Lone Wolf could be out of options. After all, his weapon is about to be destroyed. It''s impossible for him to win against Tiger in his current state. He might have a chance if he fights in closebat."


    Ram''s brows were furrowed as he made a conclusion based on his analysis of the current situation. In reality, he did not understand Lord Lone Wolf''s true intentions.


    Nevertheless, looking at the current situation, Lord Lone Wolf had given up the advantage of the long sword and chosen to fight in closebat. It was an extremely dangerous choice.


    They were not the only ones who thought this way. The three lieutenants on the rooftop also thought the same.


    Two of the three lieutenants were extremely skilled at closebat, so they knew how dangerous Lone Wolf''s actions would be.


    Tiger''s thick sword was not as long as a long sword, and if the two cultivators sparring were of equal strength, the one holding the long sword would definitely have a greater advantage.


    Yet, in such a dangerous situation, Lone Wolf did not choose to retreat and widen the distance between them to find a chance to counterattack. Instead, he closed the distance between the two of them and increased the advantage of the thick double-edged sword.


    If this were a real battlefield, Lone Wolf''s actions would undoubtedly push him into the abyss, and his chances of survival on the battlefield would be extremely low.


    In the eyes of the three lieutenants, Lone Wolf''s pounce was an extremely irresponsible act.


    He ignored the danger around him and chose to close their distance by force.


    If he was not careful, Tiger''s sword could very well slit his throat.


    If such a situation really happened, not only would Tiger''s career be seriously affected, even the military armory and the three lieutenant generals would have to take responsibility for it.


    Combined with the fact that Lone Wolf had deliberately entered the Nine-star Dragon Trapping array, he was behaving like an irresponsible Special Forces leader in Lu Yuansheng''s eyes.


    It did not matter that this was just a test. If there were no problems, he would consider submitting a petition to the military headquarters to reevaluate Lone Wolf''s position as a Special Forces captain.


    Of course, this was on the premise that the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear could pass the review smoothly and be mass-produced with military funds.


    Otherwise, with Lone Wolf''s current disabled body, he would be honorably discharged from the military in less than two months. If that really happened, he would not need to report him to the military.


    In the open-air warehouse, everyone''s eyes were wide open when they saw such a dangerous scene y out. They were afraid that they would miss what would happen next.


    Everyone''s gaze was focused on Tiger, who was about to pierce Lone Wolf''s neck with his thick double-edged sword.


    At the same time, Tiger made a decision in his heart.


    He chose to release all of his power just like before because at the beginning of the test, Lord Lone Wolf had specifically instructed them to not go easy on him during on the test field.


    No matter what the result was, he had to follow Lone Wolf''s instructions!


    Just as the thick sword was about to hit Lone Wolf at the center of the trapping array...


    Lone Wolf''s body weirdly shifted by more than 10 centimeters in midair.


    Just like that, he avoided the thick double-edged sword''s de.


    The events that unfolded in a sh stunned everyone.


    Only Wu Mo, who was standing outside the open-air warehouse, understood Lone Wolf''s battle n from the beginning.


    He knew that after the thrust system had been improved, the gear could move in the air without warning, and Lone Wolf could use this feature to catch those Special Forces soldiers off guard.


    He was previously worried that Lone Wolf would not be able to fully gauge the measurements to achieve the best effect, but now, it seemed that his n was very sessful.


    With his richbat experience, Lone Wolf had no trouble determining the trajectory of Tiger''s thick double-edged sword.

 Chapter 370 A Two-Level Reversal! The Second Eliminated Player!

    Therefore, 0.5 seconds before he was hit, Lone Wolf activated the thrust system andpleted a turn in the air, sessfully deceiving everyone.


    He brushed past Tiger''s bright de, and the distance between him and Tiger was now less than a meter.


    They were now too close forbat with the thick double-edged sword.


    If Tiger insisted on using the sword for a counterattack, he would definitely be restricted in many ways.


    Seeing that his n had seeded, Lone Wolf was overjoyed.


    He immediately raised his fist and punched Tiger in the shoulder with all his strength.


    His fist, which was wrapped in armor, was akin to a small mountain. The force that he delivered weighed tens of thousands of kilograms. Additionally, the speed of his punch also produced ear-piercing sonic booms.


    At such a close distance, if Tiger was hit by Lone Wolf''s punch, he would still be injured and eliminated despite having the physique of a middle-stage seven-star cultivator.


    Fortunately, Tiger was the first to react.


    He retreated as fast as lightning and released the spirit energy in his body at the same time. He then condensed it into a spirit energy shield that was visible to the naked eye.


    A milky-white spirit energy shield soon covered more than half of his body.


    The other Special Forces members noticed that the situation was critical, and they tried their best to inject spirit energy into the Nine-star Dragon Trapping Array as well.


    They wanted to help Tiger withstand the attack.


    Just as the spirit energy shield in front of Tiger coalesced into an attack, Lone Wolf''s fist came crashing down.


    Boom!


    Everyone heard a violent explosion, and the nine tons of force from Lone Wolf''s fist was instantly unleashed.


    Countless ripples formed across the spirit energy shield under the impact of such a terrifying force.


    The crackling sounds of one gas explosion after another rang out.


    The shield in front of Tiger was on the verge of breaking, but it did not copse.


    He had withstood Lone Wolf''s punch.


    Although forming the shield had consumed a great deal of Tiger''s spirit energy, it had allowed him to retreat safely, which was already considered a great sess.


    On the other hand, the opportunity that Lone Wolf had gained from his risky move did not cause any damage. He was still in an extremely disadvantageous position.


    After all, the jetpack on the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s back also had an energy limit.


    At most, Lone Wolf could only throw five punches at full power.


    Once the energy was exhausted, not only would the enhancement of his various attributes no longer exist, even the ability to fly would be gone.


    Currently, Lone Wolf was close to defeat.


    He had used all his strength in that punch, but it was blocked by the spirit energy shield. Plus, the extraordinary rebound force also caused damage to his own arm.


    This was proven by the sensor watch on his right hand, which was constantly emitting a yellow light.


    Impact force was reciprocal. Even though the spirit energy shield had the effect of unloading part of the force, the remaining force still sent Lone Wolf flying.


    The distance between the two of them had also widened.


    There were less than five minutes left until the end of the individualbat test.


    Just when everyone thought that Lone Wolf had failed...


    Thetter used the recoil from the spirit energy shield to charge at Rat, who was watching the show.


    Lone Wolf was extremely fast like a bolt of lightning. He had gained a speed boost from both the rebound force and the jetpack on the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s back.


    The Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s own agility enhancement feature, as well as the other two speed boosts, were enough to let Lone Wolf''s speed enter a new realm.


    He covered the distance of a dozen meters in an instant, not giving anyone time to react.<novelnext></novelnext>


    No one expected Lone Wolf tounch a counterattack at this time.


    And this was when everyone was at their worst.


    To help Tiger block Lone Wolf''s punch earlier, everyone had transferred most of their spirit energy into the Nine-star Dragon Trapping Array so that Tiger could reach the middle stage of the seven-star rank.


    Therefore, whether it was Rat or Dragon, their current state was worse than that of an early six-star cultivator.


    Seeing that Lone Wolf was charging at them with a long sword full of cracks, they realized that they would fail to organize an effective defense even if they managed to react in time.


    Rat was dumbfounded as he looked at Tiger. He even forgot to channel the spirit power in his body back into the array.


    That killed the only chance for hisrades to fight back.


    At thest moment, Rat barely raised his weapon to block the attack before him.


    However, how could he be a match for Lone Wolf in his current state?


    Even though Lone Wolf''s right arm was injured, with the thrust system''s support, he could easily swing his sword with a force of eight tons.


    Inparison, Rat''s hasty defense made him seem like a mantis that was trying to stop a car.


    It had no effect.


    Dang!


    As their two weapons shed, Rat, who was the first to be hit, felt his arms go numb. Then, his body flew more than 10 meters away as if he had been hit by a cannonball.


    The sensor watch on his wrist emitted a blinding red light before he evennded.


    He had already been eliminated!


    The formation had originally been maintained by nine people, but now that Rat had been eliminated, a hole had appeared in the formation.


    How could Lone Wolf let go of this opportunity? He shot out like a rocket, and before the people around him could react, he escaped the array''s range of control.


    Only then did the remaining ten Special Forces members react. They no longer cared about the array, and after each of them withdrew their own spirit energy, they immediately rushed in Lone Wolf''s direction.


    At this moment, everyone''s eyes were on Lone Wolf.


    He did not slow down even after leaving the Nine-star Dragon Trapping Array, and he went straight for Rat, who had been sent flying.


    Before thetter could smash into the iron wire wall, he pulled him back.


    "Argh..." Rat groaned in pain.


    His condition was even worse than that of the first member who had been eliminated.


    Not only did he have a fracture in his arm, but his body also experienced whish due to his sudden break from the formation. He was almost seriously injured.


    If Lord Lone Wolf had not pulled him back at thest moment, he would have ended up in the hospital for a few months.


    However, he was not any better off now. He would not be able to take on any missions for a month at least.


    Looking at the red light on his watch, Rat felt conflicted. Although he was dissatisfied, he still followed the rules. He held his broken arm and walked out of the open-air warehouse with aplicated expression.


    Lone Wolf''s close-range attack on Tiger had failed, but the entire process of him breaking the Nine-star Dragon Trapping Array and saving Rat had taken less than two minutes.


    In the blink of an eye, he hadpleted the magical operation of bringing the dead back to life.


    Everyone present was shocked by his calmness and reaction speed.


    The Nine-star Dragon Trapping Array had locked him into position, and he had lost to Tiger in a head-on battle.


    So many setbacks did not make him admit defeat. Instead, he became more courageous as he fought, and he found a chance to make aeback in the midst of danger.


    Even Lieutenant General Lu Yuansheng could not help but praise such strategy, courage, and shrewdness.

 Chapter 371 Killing Two With A Single Blade

    Lu Yuansheng''s understanding of Lone Wolf was too shallow, so much so that he did not even know his true strength and unterally thought that he was an irresponsible and reckless Special Forces captain.


    However, everything that was happening before him had clearly exceeded his original expectations.


    Not only was Lone Wolf not reckless, but he was also calm and collected, always looking for a chance to turn the situation around in the midst of danger.


    Before he entered the Nine-star Dragon Trapping array, he had probably thought of a countermeasure.


    Otherwise, he would not have ignored his own safety and deliberately closed the distance even though he knew that Tiger''s thick double-edged sword would hurt him.


    It was because he had already calcted everything that he would make such a seemingly reckless action.


    Even the three lieutenant generals on the rooftop had been deceived by Lone Wolf''s scheme.


    This strategy had been carried out perfectly.


    Not only did it open up a way for Lone Wolf to survive, but it also pulled back the gap between the advantages and disadvantages of the two sides, returning the battle to its starting point.


    In the open-air warehouse, there were only five minutes left until the end of the test.


    Lone Wolf watched as the Special Forces member, Rat, left and got into the vehicle that headed for medical treatment.


    He immediately retracted his gaze. At the same time, he noticed that there was not much time left for the individualbat test.


    Not far away, the 10 Special Forces members gathered again.


    Their expressions were uncertain, and some of them even felt ashamed for letting Lone Wolf go.


    Now that Rat had left the field, the special energy stones on them were also slightly damaged due to the fracture of the array''s energy. They could not be used again for a short period of time.


    "There''s still five minutes left. We just need to stick together and hold off the enemy''s attacks."


    Dragon held the halberd in his hand and walked to the front of the team. He stared at Lone Wolf and spoke to the rest in a low voice.


    "I don''t believe that he can eliminate three of us in such a short time."


    Ox was a little angry too. The oue of the match had clearly been revealed, but to his surprise, Lone Wolf escaped at thest moment.


    "Phew, Wu Mo has finallypleted the improvements for the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear. I can''t mess up this test," Lone Wolfmuttered to himself.


    Then, he immediately took a deep breath and poured the remaining spirit energy in his body into the long sword.


    Although his right arm was slightly injured, the Special Forces team did not have the array to rely on either. As long as he protected his head during the battle, it would not be a problem to eliminate three more people.


    Seconds and minutes passed by. The remaining Special Forces members stood guard in a small open space, with no intention of attacking.


    Lone Wolf did not choose to wait either. He adjusted his breathing rate slightly and rushed toward the remaining 10 members with his long sword.


    He moved quickly and arrived before the team led by Dragon in the blink of an eye.


    Without any hesitation, Lone Wolf raised his long saber and shed at Dragon.


    The team members behind Dragon immediately came to help him. He raised his own halberd as well, nning to block off Lone Wolf''s attack.


    Just as the long sword and the halberd were about to collide, Lone Wolf''s body suddenly rose, and he easily dodged the weapon attacks of four individuals.


    Dragon''s heart skipped a beat as his halberd missed.


    He immediately shouted, "Oh no, his target is the team members at the back!"


    However, it was toote. With the jetpack''s help, Lone Wolf was like an eagle that had its eyes on its prey. He waved his long sword and swung it down.


    His target was two Special Forces members standing at the back of the team.


    "Lord Lone Wolf, you''ve got the wrong ones. We''re not pushovers!"


    Seeing that they had be Lone Wolf''s target, the two Special Forces soldiers codenamed, Horse and Ram, reacted quickly. Horse raised his silver spear and aimed straight for Lone Wolf''s face.


    Meanwhile, Ram''s spirit power surged and immediately poured into his two sabers. The saber auras transformed into a cross-shaped sh and shot toward Lone Wolf''s chest.


    "Give me a break!" Lone Wolf shouted as he brought his long sword down with an unparalleled force.


    The sound of sonic booms rang out continuously. Just as Lone Wolf''s weapon was about tond, the spirit energy shield that had been condensing before him for a long time finally appeared.


    Bang! Whoosh!


    The two rays of saber auras that formed a cross-shaped and the silver spear in Horse''s hand stopped 10 centimeters away from the spirit energy shield in front of Lone Wolf''s chest.


    Both of their attacks only set off ripples on the spirit energy shield but failed to break it.


    When their two attacks disappeared, the long sword in Lone Wolf''s hand suddenlynded.


    Boom!


    A series of violent explosions rang out from the center. The sharp de that contained several tons of force directly tore a huge hole in the standard armor that Horse and Ram were wearing.


    The two of them seemed to be struck by a heavy blow, and their bodies were sent flying several meters back by the aftershock of the explosion.


    Di di di!


    The warning tone from their sensor watches rang out on the battlefield. At the same time, they lit up with piercing red light!


    Lone Wolf''s attack had directly eliminated two Special Forces members!


    Right then, Horse and Ram felt as if their ribs had been broken. They were in so much pain that they could not even stand up.


    The medical staff waiting outside immediately awaited instructions from the deputy director, Cao Jianzhong.


    After receiving permission, they hurried into the open-air warehouse with stretchers.


    "Don''t worry, I held back. They won''t die. They''ll be in bed for two weeks at most."


    Seeing the rest of the Special Forces members looking at the ambnce that was leaving the warehouse in a hurry, Lone Wolf raised his head and exined.


    Then, he leaped up and attacked the eight Special Forces members again.


    "F*ck, I''ll fight Lord Lone Wolf!"


    Dragon''s face turned red. He knew that it was inevitable for his team members to get injured on the battlefield.


    Yet, Lone Wolf had eliminated therades under his watch again and again. He was already a little angry from the embarrassment!


    The surrounding team members also realized that they could not be faster than Lone Wolf in terms of speed and mobility.


    Even if they grouped together, they could be picked off one by one.


    After they understood this, everyone no longer followed the n. Instead, they used their best moves and tried to defeat Lone Wolf as quickly as possible.


    To the remaining members of the Special Forces, having theirrades consecutively eliminated in less than 10 minutes was already disgraceful.


    If Lone Wolf remained standing in the open-air warehouse once the test was over, they would not know how to exin it to their brothers when they returned.


    In the open-air warehouse, Dragon held his halberd and attacked Lone Wolf with lightning speed.


    Not far behind him, Ox and Boar also arrived with their weapons.


    "Very good," Lone Wolf said.


    A confident smile appeared on his face. In the next second, he retreated and easily avoided the halberd''s attack.

 Chapter 372 Dragons Tactics

    Taking advantage of his opponent''s old moves andck of new strength, Lone Wolf raised his de and tried to sh Dragon''s wrist.


    Dragon became flustered when his opponent took advantage of the gap between his moves.


    Fortunately, he reacted fast enough. He lifted his halberd immediately and used the hook to block the de.


    Ding!


    The de and the hook collided, creating sparks.


    The fight between the two of them onlysted for a second. At this time, Ox and Boar had already arrived from behind.


    Lone Wolf did not continue fighting. Instead, he jumped up a dozen meters with the jetpack''s help and arrived at the top of a container not far away.


    "If you guys want to win so much, catch up to me first."


    He smiled confidently, then beckoned to the people below, his expression full of provocation.


    "Don''t run!" Dragonshouted coldly.


    He swiftly mobilized the spirit energy in his body and rushed toward Lone Wolf at an extremely fast speed.


    Ox and Boar exchanged nces and swiftly chose to follow.


    Although they did not have the ability to fly, they could still use their spirit power to hold their position in the air for a while.


    The remaining five Special Forces members immediately moved to seal off Lone Wolf''s escape route in advance as well.


    Aside from the open space where they had fought earlier, the entire open-air warehouse was basically blocked by containers.


    Unless Lone Wolf flew into the sky and refused toe down, his high mobility would inevitably be affected in a cramped environment.


    Dragon''s body shot out like an arrow. He stepped on a container and quickly rose up. As soon as he stood on the top of the container, he swung his sword and attacked Lone Wolf.


    Lone Wolf was well prepared for Dragon''s attack.


    Since the long sword in his hand was enhanced by spirit energy, it maintained its sharpness and toughness when it was intact.


    The two only exchanged three moves, and Dragon was defeated because of his lower rank.


    Just then, Ox and Boar approached them once again.


    Just as they were about to help, Lone Wolf once again used his ghostly movements to avoid Dragon''s sword and came at them with his sword.


    At this time, the two of them had just used their spirit energy to jump to the top of the container and had yet to stabilize their feet. Naturally, they dared not face Lone Wolf''s attack head-on.


    They were afraid that he would end up like Horse and Ram who had been eliminated by Lone Wolf not long ago.


    Now that four members of the Special Forces had been eliminated, Lone Wolf''s mission would be consideredplete if he eliminated one more.


    Therefore, they would not give Lone Wolf any more chances.


    Seeing that Ox and Boar had been forced to retreat, the rest of the Special Forces members immediately used their spirit energy to charge upwards.


    However, before they could climb up the container, they, too, were forced to retreat by Lone Wolf.


    Dragon was furious.


    He used his spirit energy without a care for the cost and attacked Lone Wolf in a frenzy.


    However, it was as if the other party had eyes on the back of his head, and he was able to avoid him in advance every time.


    There were less than two minutes left until the end of the test.


    Dragon became increasingly anxious. The halberd in his hand moved faster and faster, almost reaching its limit.


    "I''m not even in a hurry, what are you panicking for?"


    He noticed that Dragon''s attacks had be chaotic.


    Lone Wolf chuckled and immediately drew his sword to force Dragon to retreat.


    "You like hiding here, don''t you? It won''t be that easy!"


    Dragon realized that he would be thest one to be eliminated by Lone Wolf if he did not get out of this situation as soon as possible.


    However, now that Lone Wolf was on high ground, the remaining Special Forces members were unable to rush up to him. If they wanted to change the situation, they had to destroy Lone Wolf''s advantage.


    Thinking of this, Dragon looked at the container under his feet and gathered the remaining spirit power in his body.


    "Wind-splitting Halberd!"


    Chen Long''s eyes glowed as he let out an angry roar. The next moment, a strong airflow appeared around the halberd in his hand, and it grew more and more powerful as his spirit power was consumed.


    "Break!"


    Holding the heavy halberd, which was surrounded by airflow, Dragon jumped up. Then, he held the halberd with one hand and plunged into the container like an osprey.


    The huge air current wrapped around him like a cold wind and instantly tore a big hole in the iron te at the top of the container.


    The huge container shook as it was attacked.


    Lone Wolf looked back in surprise. The next moment, he seemed to sense something and immediately jumped down from the top of the container.


    Boom!


    A series of violent explosions rang out, and the terrifying gale tore the metal container into pieces. It was like a shredder had turned it into countless pieces from the inside out.


    Dust and smoke filled the air. The metal fragments that had been cut into numerous pieces were affected by the st and scattered in all directions.


    The surrounding Special Forces members immediately condensed a spirit energy shield to block the metal fragments.


    "Hurry up, we don''t have time," Boar reminded when he saw they had already entered the final countdown.


    Now that Dragon''s spirit power had been exhausted, he had lost his fighting ability.


    They had to restrain Lone Wolf. Even if they could not defeat him, they could not let him eliminate any more people.


    After hearing Boar''s words, the rest of the people immediately mobilized all the spirit energy in their bodies and rushed at Lone Wolf with all their might.


    Although the weapons in their hands were not the same, they had a tacit understanding. They would block Lone Wolf''s attack every time he targeted the weakness of any one of theirrades.


    There was only one minute left.


    Under the siege of the remaining seven team members, it gradually became harder for Lone Wolf to do whatever he wanted.


    Every time he wanted to use the container to shake them off, he would always be stopped in advance.


    Every time he caught a w in someone''s attack and prepared to go on the offensive, he would always be forced back.


    Their attacks came at him like a storm, and he simply could not find a chance to counterattack.


    [Enemy No. 1 hasunched an attack. Attack Strength: 60. Attack Range: Left shoulder. Emergency Level: Medium.


    [Enemy No. 2 has activate spirit energy shield. Defense Strength: 63. Defense Range: The entire body. Emergency Level: Low.]


    Just as Lone Wolf was at a loss about what to do, unable to deal with the attacks of the Special Forces members...


    An emotionless mechanical voice suddenly echoed in his ear.


    Lone Wolf was stunned for a moment. At the same time, the attacks of the Special Forces members around himnded simultaneously. The huge force from the surrounding force made him retreat a few steps.


    [The exoskeleton armor has received close-range damage in four different ces. The damage is on the left shoulder, upper abdomen, intercostal space, and chest. Total damage to the armor is 2%.]


    The voice that made him think that he was hallucinating earlier resounded in his ears again.


    This time, however, he noticed that the sound wasing from inside the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    Through bone transmission, he was now able to receive information clearly.

 Chapter 373 Smart Program Activated, Lone Wolf Enlightened

    "Could this be the smart program that Wu Mo was talking about?"


    Lone Wolf''s eyes flickered, and he was a little shocked.


    He originally thought that the smart program that Wu Mo mentioned was the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s armor that could follow his reaction and make smart adjustments.


    He never expected there to be an AI inside the armor that could provide him withbat information.


    This AI was like code that could be executed at any time and ce. As long as the user was at a disadvantage in battle, this program would be activated, providing the user with real-time battle information to help him or her win.


    After he understood this, Lone Wolf finally realized that in the previous 10 minutes, he had not fully disyed the advantages of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    He had only used the power and speed provided by the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, inadvertently ignoring its defensive ability andputing power.


    The Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s defense system could even block the Heavenly Fire Bomb.


    However, throughout this battle, he had been wasting time blocking attacks from the Special Forces team.


    Whether it was a high-intensity attack or a feint to confuse him, he had blocked them all without fail, wasting a lot of opportunities and time.


    The reason was that he valued the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear too much.


    He was afraid that a slight attack from them would damage the gear.


    It was this seemingly unintentional approach that had put him in a passive position when he was surrounded by the Special Forces team.


    "I see, I understand."


    In thest 40 seconds, Lone Wolf finally had a clear picture.


    It was not until this moment that he perfectly understoodbat posture when wearing the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    He touched the pain in his chest and took a deep breath. Then, he raised his head and looked at Boar, who was the first to rush toward him. His lips moved slightly.


    "It''s about time. I''ll let you experience the true power of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s armor.


    As soon as he finished speaking, Boar, who was not far away, snorted coldly.


    "Stop boasting. You only have 40 seconds left. Do you think you can turn the tables?"


    Picking up a long-handled axe, Boar ruthlessly hacked at Lone Wolf''s chest.


    [Enemy No. 4 hasunched an attack. Attack Range: Chest. Attack Strength: 66. Emergency Level: Medium.]


    The bright ax de smashed down, bringing with it the sound of breaking wind.


    Hearing the voice in his ears again, the corners of Lone Wolf''s mouth rose slightly.


    He raised his long sword to block, but just before the ax de and the edge of his sword came into contact, Lone Wolf suddenly raised his wrist.


    The edge of his de brushed past the edge of the ax and went straight for Boar''s neck.


    The change in his movement happened in the blink of an eye, thanks to the reaction speed and agility provided by the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear. Since they were in such close proximity, Boar simply could not react in time.


    In fact, Boar only sensed a blur in front of his eyes. Then, without any resistance, the ax in his hand directlynded Lone Wolf''s chest.


    At the same time, he felt a chill on his neck, and his entire body trembled.


    By the time he reacted, Lone Wolf''s long sword was already at his neck.


    In contrast, his full-force ax strike only left a white mark on the surface of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s chest area.


    Boar felt a slight pain in his neck. He opened his mouth to say something, but Lone Wolf''s emotionless voice reached his ears first.


    "You''ve already been eliminated!"


    After he said that, Lone Wolf did not wait for Boar to react. He raised his long sword and rushed toward the other six people.


    A sharp ear-piercing sound followed, and Boar''s right hand trembled. He subconsciously touched his neck, and soon felt something moist and warm on his fingertips.


    Seeing the fresh blood on his hand, he immediately revealed an expression of disbelief.


    If Lone Wolf''s de had been half an inch deeper, he would have been lying dead on the ground now.


    Although the sensor watch on his wrist did not emit any light, Boar understood that he had already been eliminated.


    ''I didn''t expect the defense of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear to be so strong.''


    He weighed the ax in his hand and muttered to himself. Then, he walked out of the open-air warehouse with heavy steps.


    "Hey, what happened? The sensor light on that member''s hand didn''t light up at all. How is he out?"


    "He doesn''t look injured. Why is he eliminated?"


    Outside the door, the researchers who saw this scene were confused, and they immediately began to discuss it curiously.


    The deputy director, Cao Jianzhong, also frowned slightly. Since the video recording was still in progress, he could not go up and question him.


    "The oue has already been decided. You can see it by looking at the wound on this Special Forces member''s neck."


    Wu Mo, who was sitting at the side, found the discussion of several researchers not far away a little noisy, so he helplessly opened his mouth to exin.


    At this time, the others discovered that Boar had a shallow red wound on the right side of his neck.


    When they spotted the wound, they immediately recalled the confrontation between Lone wolf and him half a minute ago. Only then did theye to a realization.


    "That was close. If the cut was any deeper, I''m afraid it would be life-threatening."


    "He''s really bold. It looks like Lord Lone wolf has very good control of his strength."


    Hearing the discussion outside the open-air warehouse below, the three lieutenant generals sitting by the rooftop''s railing appeared relieved.


    The primary purpose of their visit this time was to sessfully oversee thepletion of the individualbat test, which involved Lone Wolf and the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    During the earlier stage of the testing process, Lone Wolf had been at a disadvantage. However, the test approached its end, the three lieutenant generals'' spirits were gradually raised.


    It was not until the Special Forces member with the codename Boar was eliminated that they were truly relieved.


    Being able to eliminate five Special Forces members was enough to prove the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s outstanding performance in actualbat.


    After all, the Special Forces team consisted of all middle-stage six-star cultivators. This was considered top-notch in the entire eastern war zone.


    With Lone Wolf''s original skills, it would have been extremely difficult for him to fight three at a time.


    Now, however, he was able to eliminate five people in twenty minutes. This was enough to show how the gear increased hisbat strength.


    Just when everyone thought that the battle was about toe to a sessful end, Lone Wolf''s elimination of the remaining seven Special Forces members officially began.


    With the AI system''s battle information, Lone Wolf could ignore most of the attacks based on the situation.


    Only when his opponent''s attack strength was above 65 would he make a move to block it or use the thrust provided by the jetpack to dodge.


    That way, there was much less information he needed to focus on, and at the same time, he could free up more of his mind to execute powerful moves.

 Chapter 374 The Final Feast, The End Of The Test

    After all, no one present was as familiar with the use of spirit power as he was.


    When it came to exquisite moves, Lone Wolf was second to none.


    The long sword in Lone Wolf''s hand danced with increasing speed across the entire battlefield like a dragon chasing the wind and moon.


    Heunched all kinds of wide-range attacks, and the remaining seven Special Forces members could not handle them at all. Falling like broken building blocks, they were eliminated one after another.


    In thest 30 seconds, Rabbit''s weapon was knocked away by a move called the Moonfall sh, and she was eliminated with light injuries.


    In thest 20 seconds, Monkey failed to avoid Lone Wolf, who turned around and smashed through a container tond a heavy blow on him. The force from his de eliminated Monkey with light injuries.


    In thest 10 seconds, Rooster and Dog were defeated by Lone Wolf and eliminated by his de.


    With that, thebat test finally came to an end.


    Apart from Lone Wolf, the remaining members on the battlefield were Dragon, who had lost all his spirit energy and the ability to fight, and a pale-looking Tiger, who had suffered the most from the array''s bacsh.


    As for Ox and Boar, they had escaped in different directions in thest few dozen seconds, so they barely saved themselves from being eliminated.


    The truth was, the two of them knew that it would be impossible for them to break through Lone Wolf''s defense in their current state. If the test had gone on for another minute, they would not have been able to stand there without any injuries.


    One could say that they suffered aplete lost in their battle against Lone Wolf and the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    Thest minute of the test was their darkest moment.


    It was as if the remaining team members had met their natural enemy. No one couldst even 10 seconds against Lone Wolf.


    "It''s finally over. Let''s get out of here."


    Ox smiled helplessly as he looked at Boar, whose forehead was constantly sweating.


    The two of them supported Dragon and Tiger while they slowly walked out of the open-air warehouse.


    Lone Wolf followed them with a relieved expression as well.


    At least he did not embarrass Wu Mo and cover the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear with dust.


    When he stepped out of the door, he saw Wu Mo standing nearby with a warm smile. Lone Wolf was moved, and he could not help but smile.


    "You''ve worked hard, brother." Wu Mo patted Lone Wolf''s shoulder and said earnestly.


    This individualbat test had not only been a challenge for Lone Wolf but also for Wu Mo.


    Although he was very familiar with the structure and functions of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, the situation on the battlefield was ever-changing. There was always a possibility that Lone Wolf would fail.


    In fact, he almost did. If Lone Wolf had not made that discovery toward the end, it might have been very difficult for him to seed.


    As such, Wu Mo thanked Lone Wolf.


    Lone Wolf had also contributed a lot to the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    "Is there still a need to be so polite with me?" Lone Wolf blinked. At the same time, he pointed at Elder Huang and the three lieutenant generals who were walking out of the building not far away. "Look, the three lieutenant generals areing down. It appears that you''ll be busy again," he said jokingly.


    "I''ve been busy for a few months. Two more days won''t make a difference. Once I''m done with this, I''ll meet up with you for a drink."


    Wu Mo shook his head with a smile, indicating that he was already used to it.


    Soon, Elder Huang and the three lieutenants arrived at the entrance of the open-air warehouse.


    At the same time, the deputy director, Cao Jianzhong''s recording work came to an end.


    "You''ve all worked hard, and we''ve all witnessed your performance in this individualbat test. Weapon strengthening and other relevant rewards will be arranged here. Those with injuries can proceed to the medical staff to receive treatment. The rest of you can go back and rest," Division Commander Shen Hongyuan said with a face full of concern.


    When the Special Forces members heard that the rewards would be distributed so soon, they rested happily.


    On the other side, Lieutenant General Lu Yuansheng looked at Lone Wolf.


    "Hello, Lieutenant General Lu."


    Lone Wolf stepped forward and saluted him ording to their military hierarchy.


    "Not bad. Lone Wolf, yourbat experience andposure are truly amazing for you to be able to turn the tide in such a disadvantageous situation."


    Lone Wolf was delighted to hear Lieutenant General Lu Yuansheng''s undisguised praise.


    However, he knew that he was able to make those series of responses in that emergency situation because of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s various enhancements.


    Therefore, he dared not show off and humbly said, "At present, I''m personally incapable of doing such a thing. I was mainly able toplete the final counterattack thanks to the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear."


    Lu Yuansheng''s eyes flickered when he saw how Lone Wolf did not seem arrogant. In fact, he also took the initiative to credit the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear. The lieutenant general could not help but think more highly of Lone Wolf.


    Thetter had a good heart on top of his strength.


    It would only be a matter of time before his strength reached the seven-star rank. If he was properly nurtured, he might get the opportunity to go to the enormous war zone and join the forces stationed in the White River province.


    "Alright, head back and get some rest first. We should be returning to the military region tonight. You and the Special Forces should get ready."


    Lu Yuansheng did not say anything else. He gave an order and walked toward Wu Mo.


    At this moment, Zhuang Zhe and Shen Hongyuan had also finished dealing with relevant matters.They were the first to start a conversation with Wu Mo.


    Elder Huang immediately suggested, "What you''re discussing is confidential military information. For the sake of safety, please stay in my office."


    After they heard Elder Huang''s suggestion, the three lieutenant generals, who were already tempted, decided to give up and walk toward the office with Wu Mo.


    "Ahem."


    Wu Mo felt a little ufortable being stared at. It was as if he was not a cksmith before the three lieutenant generals but a delicious cake.


    In a short while, the four of them reached the office. Wei Ge, who had been standing outside the door as a punishment, finally had a chance to enter the office.


    Not long after, the five of them sat down at the meeting table.


    As soon as Wu Mo took a seat, Lieutenant General Lu, who was the closest to him, took the initiative to ask, "Wu Mo, can you tell me what your purpose was when you first decided to develop the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear?


    "Was it just to increase the wearer''s strength, agility, and other attributes, or to make up for theck of ess to flying in the White River province''s field of forging, or...?" Lu Yuansheng asked with a serious expression.


    He was worried that Wu Mo would not know how to answer, so he was considerate enough to give him a few options.


    However, before he could finish listing out the options, Wu Mo gave him the answer he wanted with a firm expression.


    "When I first designed the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, I didn''t think about how much enhancement it could provide to the wearer. I only want to help those cultivators who have been physically disabled because they wanted to protect the border!


    "In the beginning, that was the only thought in my mind. The various attribute boosts and flying abilities that cameter were just inspirations I had during the development process."

 Chapter 375 The Olive Branch Extended By The Lieutenant Generals

    "Gasp..."


    After they heard Wu Mo''s answer, the three lieutenant generals sitting at the conference table looked at each other.


    They thought that Wu Mo had originally designed the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear to provide the wearer with a huge increase in attributes. That way, every cultivator could possess improvedbat skills in a short time and protect their country more effectively.


    It never urred to anyone that Wu Mo had started all this to help the disabled cultivators were about to leave the battlefield.


    As for the attribute enhancements and the ability to fly, they were just bonus features from the gear''s subsequent development.


    "Wu Mo, you''re not on the front lines , but you still care so much about the cultivators there. It''s rare to find someone with such a good heart."


    Lieutenant General Lu Yuansheng did not hold back from praising Wu Mo.


    The two people beside him nodded too, and their opinions of Wu Mo also changed.


    In their opinion, the biggest difference between Wu Mo and genius cksmiths who were arrogant because of their talent was the equipment that they forged. Wu Mo''s creations had always been based on practical use in a person''s daily life.


    They were much more valuable than the beautiful and vain creations of others.


    Every piece of equipment that Wu Mo had developed had more or less brought change to capital and the various battlefields.


    Lu Yuansheng believed that if the White River province could have a few more cksmiths like Wu Mo, who was pure-hearted and dedicated to learning, the province would not be rankedst in the annual assessment.


    Over the years, the White River province had nevercked young motivated cksmiths who would work hard. However, due to their limited talent, none were like Wu Mo who managed to positively impact the province in just a year.


    At that thought, Lieutenant General Lu made up his mind.


    If Wu Mo agreed, he would transfer him to the eastern war zone so that he could receive more information and better nourishment. For one, it could relieve the pressure on the eastern war zone, and two, it could help Wu Mo grow faster.


    In truth, he already had such thoughts long before arrived in the capital.


    However, earlier on, he had yet to personally witness the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s power and he had no indication that Wu Mo would be able to adapt to the academic work there.


    Now, he had a good understanding of Wu Mo after a few short conversations. He felt that with Wu Mo''s personality and ability, going to the Eastern Grand Station District would be a better choice.


    Lu Yuansheng gathered his thoughts and raised his head. He was ready to tell Wu Mo his thoughts and see what he would say.


    However, just as he opened his mouth, Shen Hongyuan impatiently extended an olive branch to Wu Mo.


    "Wu Mo, all three of us have seen your ideas and abilities. You can definitely expand your horizons in a bigger location. It just so happens that we''recking an armament section chief in the Third Military Region. I believe that you''ll be up to the task..."


    Shen Hongyuan spoke without stopping. His face was filled with excitement and hope.


    He gave Wu Mo a detailed exnation of the position and its benefits. In addition, he thoughtfully came up with a five-year development n for him.


    If Zhuang Zhe had not been there, Shen Hongyuan would have already told him about the welfare benefits.


    "Ahem, ahem... Lieutenant General Shen, although you have good intentions, I still think that Wu Mo''s ability would be wasted in the military region."


    Zhuang Zhe swept his gaze across the crowd and continued in a serious tone, "You want to keep Wu Mo for five years with a mere section chief position? How can you do that?


    "In my opinion, the best ce for Wu Mo is the eastern war zone. There are many seven-star cksmith masters there. Not only can they help Wu Mo improve academically, but they can also help him expand hiswork, which will be beneficial for his future development."


    Zhuang Zhe sat up straight and drew a circle on the meeting table with his finger.


    "A young talent like Wu Mo will definitely end up in the enormous war zone. I''m doing this to pave the way for him in advance. There are no selfish motives involved."


    After he finished speaking, he nced at the people around him and touched his nose guiltily.


    In the office, Shen Hongyuan, who was sitting on the left side of the meeting table, looked a little annoyed.


    Meanwhile, Lu Yuansheng, who was sitting on the right, had a smug look on his face.


    The difference in their expressions was enough to show that their thoughts were opposite.


    Lieutenant General Lu Yuansheng was the leader of the First Military District in North China.


    However, his two subordinates were extremely capable. Even if he was not around, they could still manage the First Military Region without a problem.


    Therefore, in recent years, Lu Yuansheng had only been in the First Military Region in name. In reality, his duties were closely rted to the eastern theater of operations.


    As such, he hoped that Wu Mo would go to the eastern war zone.


    He wanted to create more practical equipment to help alleviate the pressure on the front lines.


    Although they were both lieutenant generals of White River and theirmon goal was to protect the peace of the province, as well as the nation, everyone was more or less selfish.


    They all hoped to have a few young and talented people like Wu Mo around them.


    In the face of the olive branches extended by the lieutenant generals, Wu Mo''s eyes flickered, but he could not give them a clear answer.


    He considered it for a while and said to the three lieutenants, "Lieutenant Generals, you have put in a lot of effort, and I, Wu Mo, appreciate it immensely.


    "While I haven''t made any ns for the future, I''d like to take each step on my own. So, I have to refuse your invitation."


    Wu Mo smiled, his expression full of sincerity.


    "However, the three of you can rest assured that if there''s an opportunity in the future, I won''t hesitate to pay you a visit. If the three of you need my help in the future, I definitely won''t refuse, Lieutenant Generals.


    "Besides, I''m quite far away from the military region and the Eastern Grand Station District. I''m afraid it''ll take me a few days of preparation before I can go."


    "Sure..."


    The three lieutenants nodded. Although they felt a little regretful, they still respected Wu Mo''s decision.


    Furthermore, Wu Mo had given them a reasonable exnation, and he never explicitly rejected them.


    Therefore, the three lieutenants were not angry. On the contrary, they found that their previous ns were a bit abrupt and that they had not considered Wu Mo''s feelings.


    "No problem, I respect your choice." Lu Yuansheng patted the table gently and said with a smile.


    "However, I can''t go back empty-handed. Later on, once the military has confirmed the allocation of funds for the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s mass production, we need to have the first batch of experimental equipment immediately."


    "Yes, I have the same thoughts as Lieutenant General Lu. After all, you are an important guest in North China''s Third Military Region. You''ve met the two arms ministers before." Shen Hongyuan blinked and said excitedly.


    "Ahem... Although this is my first time meeting you, I''ve been paying attention to your reputation for a long time. This has to be fair so that no one loses out."


    At this moment, Zhuang Zhe was a little speechless as he sat next to them. He did not expect Lu Yuansheng and Shen Hongyuan to disregard their status just to get close to Wu Mo and receive the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear as soon as possible.

 Chapter 376 A Phone Call From Academician Xu

    However, he was afraid that if he did not say anything, Wu Mo would soon forget about him.


    Hence, he said what he just did.


    Wu Mo heard the lieutenant generals'' praise for him and their hidden requests.


    He did not know whether tough or cry. However, he did not want to embarrass the lieutenants, so he could only agree even though the matter of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s mass production had not been set in stone.


    After the matter was quickly resolved, the group began to chat, and the atmosphere became much more rxed in Elder Huang''s office.


    They talked about how many pieces of world-famous equipment had been produced in the armory since its inception, from the first generation of standard armors to the ninth-generationbat suits.


    They all resulted from the efforts of countless cksmiths.


    The five of them chatted happily, and Wu Mo admired the knowledge that Elder Huang, as well as the three lieutenants, possessed.


    It was not until five o''clock in the evening, when the sun outside the window was about to set, that they ended their gathering reluctantly.


    After dinner, Wu Mo, Elder Huang, and the deputy director apanied the three lieutenants to the armory''s gate. They watched them leave until the military vehicle disappeared into the night.


    Before leaving, Wu Mo also chatted with Lone Wolf for a while.


    In the end, they agreed that the two of them would have mutton hotpot and dumplings together when they had the time.


    "Tsk, I was so nervous at first. I didn''t expect the three lieutenant generals to be so easy to approach." Wei Ge, who was standing at the side, chuckled and said.


    Elder Huang red at him as if to say, "Do you want to stand outside the door as punishment again?"


    Wei Ge immediately shut his mouth and stood there obediently.


    The way he carried himself did not remind one of a peak six-star cksmith who was already in his 40s.


    "Let''s go back. Wu Mo, you''ve been working so hard for such a long time. It''s time for you to rest," Elder Huang said as he looked up at the sky that hadpletely darkened.


    "Alright, Elder Huang, you should rest early too."


    Wu Mo cast a sidelong nce at him but quickly regained hisposure.


    He nodded at Elder Huang and turned to walk back to his dormitory.


    He was surprised a moment ago because of Elder Huang''s attitude toward him.


    When Wu Mo first arrived at the armory, Elder Huang had given him the cold treatment.


    Not only did he call the Invisibility Armor and Spirit Wave Sword that Wu Mo had developed gaudy, but he also expressed no interest in the exoskeleton armor that Wu Mo talked about.


    Later on, although Elder Huang visited the factory Wu Mo was in charge of several times, he still ignored him.


    That was until a month and a half ago, when Wu Mo was about to develop the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    Only then did Elder Huang finally take him seriously. However, he remained strict as a senior. Even when Wu Mo took the initiative to ask for advice, Elder Huang would wear a stern expression.


    But now, after sending the lieutenant generals off, Elder Huang was beingpletely kind to Wu Mo. He even told him to take care of his health.


    How could Wu Mo not be surprised by such a change in attitude?


    Before he came to the armory, many senior researchers in the Fifth Research Department hadined about Elder Huang and the senior researchers there.


    They thought that Elder Huang, the deputy director, and the senior R&D staff were all stubborn old men who did not ept new ideas and strongly rejected them.


    When he first arrived, he had the same thought more than once.


    He only understood now that as long as you were strong enough, you couldpletely bend these superficial rules and alter what other people thought of you.


    Elder Huang''s change in attitude was the best proof.


    As long as something was truly useful and had high research value, it would shine in any environment.


    After all, diamonds would not stop glowing just because they were piled in the sand.


    With so many emotions in his heart, Wu Mo subconsciously quickened his pace. He walked in the quiet armory under the dim yellowmps and returned to the single dormitory before long.


    Wu Mo had just taken off his coat when the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.


    He looked at the screen and saw Academician Xu''s name on it. He immediately picked up the call.


    "Good evening, Academician Xu. Why are you calling me at this time?"


    Wu Mo picked up the phone and sat down on the couch.


    Academician Xu''s voice soon rang in his ear. It sounded familiar and strange at the same time.


    "Long time no see, Wu Mo. The three lieutenants should be gone by now, right?"


    Academician Xu went straight to the point. He seemed to know a lot about the events in the armory.


    "Yes, the three lieutenant generals left in a car 15 minutes ago."


    Wu Mo did not think there was anything wrong with Academician Xu knowing all of this, so he did not hide anything.


    "Well, if I''m not wrong, the three of them should have extended an olive branch to you. Are they nning to invite you to the military region and the eastern war zone?"


    Academician Xu''s voice was calm and a little hoarse. It sounded like he was just having a normal conversation with someone.


    However, Wu Mo felt a little awkward after he heard Academician Xu''s words.


    Even though he had been in the armory for two months, Wu Mo was still an ordinary researcher from the Fifth Research Department.


    Therefore, as the leader of the Fifth Research Department, Academician Xu would definitely be a little unhappy about the three lieutenant generals poaching his people.


    "Yes, the three of them did invite me to the military region and the eastern theater of operations. But don''t worry, I didn''t ept any of their offers. I turned them down."


    Wu Mo was a little nervous. He did not know how Academician Xu would view this matter, and he was not sure if this would put a strain on their rtionship.


    "Well, I already know the results of the individualbat test from this afternoon. As expected, your research and development, as well as your performance in the armory over the past two months, have been perfect."


    Academician Xu did not seem unhappy at all over the phone. Instead, he praised Wu Mo.


    "By the way, there are some things I need you to deal with at the Research Department. If it''s convenient for you, it''d be best toe back before tomorrow night," Academician Xu said in a calm but expectant tone.


    Wu Mo was a little surprised. He had not returned to the Fifth Research Department in two months, and he had been worried about Academician Xu, Professor Tan, and his vi.


    If he could, he naturally wanted to go back earlier.


    However, he did not know what had happened at the Fifth Research Department to make Academician Xu so eager to have him back.


    Wu Mo noticed some urgency behind Academician Xu''s words, so he did not give it much thought and agreed immediately.


    "Okay, Academician Xu. Don''t worry, I''ll definitely be back before tomorrow night."


    "Alright, be careful on the road."


    Academician Xu then hung up the phone.

 Chapter 377 Exchanging For A Tier 3 Array Book

    After he kept his phone back in his pocket, Wu Mo stood up and looked at theyout of his room. He observed the colorful murals on the wall as well as the tables, chairs and other facilities that had apanied him for two months. He felt a little reluctant to leave.


    When he first came to the armory, he merely wanted to use the modern equipment there to develop the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.


    However, in the past two months, not only had he experienced the various cutting-edge forging equipment in the armory, but he had also experienced it different culture and tasted many delicacies that were not avable in the Research Department.


    Over thest two months, he had lived a very fulfilling life, and one could say that his trip had not been in vain.


    Wu Mo pushed the door open and walked into the bedroom.


    He moved a chair to the side of the bed and sat down before he slowly closed his eyes to calm his mind.


    Time seemed to stop at this moment, and there was no more sound around him.


    When he slowly opened his eyes again, he was surrounded by a chaotic dark purple space.


    [The influence system''s calction isplete. The Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear that the host developed has been a great influence in the armory. Data tests andbat tests have shown that the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear has obtained a total of 73,028 influence points.


    [Remaining Points: 348,557.


    [A gentle reminder: You have many points left, and the system suggests that you utilize them to improve your knowledge in areas that apply.]


    Before Wu Mo could reach his worktable, a series of system notifications rang in his mind.


    However, when he heard about the influence points he had received, a happy smile appeared on his face.


    Although the points brought by Wu Mo''s first Divine weapon, Mjolnir, had not been used up yet, the more points he had, the better.


    After all, the system''s points had a wide range of uses. Not only could he buy items, materials, potions, and books from the system''s store, he could also get the system to help him extract special information, which could not be bought in reality.


    From Legendary to Divine equipment, to ordinary materials that were not considered precious but extremely rare and difficult to buy, as long as one had points, everything could be obtained.


    To Wu Mo, 300,000 points was equivalent to an invisible guarantee.


    No matter what the situation was, he would not be too flustered.


    At that thought, Wu Mo''s heart stirred a little, and the next moment, he pulled up the system''s store.


    The store that was floating before him contained all kinds of rare equipment and materials.


    Wu Mo immediately chose the book category and looked through the listed items.


    Most of the books on the first page were about the basic knowledge that cksmiths needed to master.


    The second to third pages covered techniques rted to arrays, enhancements, and forging.


    Although ordinary people could note into contact with these books, cksmiths could borrow them from school and the cksmith Guild, so they were not considered rare.


    It was not until Wu Mo flipped to the fourth page of the system store''s book category that he truly became interested in the various books there.


    [A Practical Guide on Tier 3 Magic Arrays, written by an intermediate seven-star master cksmith.


    [101 In-depth Techniques for Field Fortification, written by the Federation Priest, Li Yuan.


    [Analysis of Legendary Equipment Forging: A Dive Into the Knowledge and Reasoning Contained in the Masterpiece, written by the Dean of White Tower Academy, Liu Zhang.]


    Looking at the dazzling array of books on the page, Wu Mo could not help but feel tempted.


    These books were notparable to the ordinary books on the first few pages.


    In the real world, it was incredibly rare for ordinary cksmiths to see such books that involved the core knowledge of forging. Only high-ranking officials in the family or children of aristocratic families coulde into contact with them.


    These books that touched on core knowledge were pretty much the painstaking work of seven-star master cksmiths.


    Without opportunity or status, one would not be able toe into contact with books of such a level.


    In the field of forging, improving one''s strength was like climbing a mountain. Only by crossing the mountain could one see a new world on the other side.


    However, in the real world, countless cksmiths were held back by difficult problems that prevented them from advancing for a long time.


    If a forging master was willing to open his mouth and give some advice at such a time, it would undoubtedly provide enlightenment to the stumped cksmiths.


    Unfortunately, when faced with real difficulties, it would usually take a cksmith months or even years to step past all the pits and take the next step.


    Therefore, a book that touched on the core of forging was undoubtedly a precious treasure for ordinary cksmiths.


    Everybody wanted one, but those who could truly obtain this knowledge were always the powerful and influential.


    Wu Mo appeared a little excited.


    He could not wait to exchange his points for all these books and study them throughout the night so that he could reach the six-star rank as soon as possible.


    However, when he saw the required points under the books, his fiery heart felt like it was doused with a basin of cold water, and his excitement instantly vanished.


    The Tier 3 magic array guide cost close to 20,000 points.


    The analysis of Legendary equipment and the various other books cost anywhere from 20,000 to 100,000 points.


    Although Wu Mo seemed to have a lot of points, he would not be able to buy many books unless he nned on spending them all.


    In addition, he also needed to exchange them for spirit potions every day, so he definitely had to reserve some points for his daily consumption.


    Therefore, even though these books were fatally attractive to him, he still decided to only buy the Tier 3 magic array guide for 18,000 points.


    After all, he had been carrying out research almost every night for the past two months. Even though he couldplete his daily work with the help of the spirit energy potions, he would still feel tired after a long time.


    Therefore, Wu Mo nned to get some good rest during the new year. He would only spend two hours a day reading to ensure that his strength did not decline.


    p¦Á§ád¦Á-¨¾?¦Í¨º|¡¤§ã¨®§® Ultimately, he understood that one should not bite off more than one could chew.


    Instead of spending more than 100,000 points to buy some books that he had no use for at the moment, it was better to focus on studying a single book. Perhaps it would be more efficient.


    Once Wu Mo made up his mind, he immediately made the exchange.


    Soon, the points disy on the top left corner of the system interface changed. At the same time, a book that emitted a constant purple light materialized in his backpack.


    "I didn''t think that books would be divided into different grades too."


    Wu Mo immediately took out the book and ced it on the worktable. He looked at the light that was constantly emanating from the ancient book''s cover in surprise.


    [Yes, host. Books in the real worlde in varying qualities as well.


    [Although books use words as a medium to transmit knowledge, there are many things to pay attention to in the field. If everything is written in detail, the book would not beplete even if it is as thick as a dictionary.]

 Chapter 378 Moving Out, Ready To Leave

    [Therefore, authors inject some spirit energy into their books. When the books are readter, detailed knowledge that cannot be written will be transferred to the reader through their spirit energy.


    [As such, every time someone reads a book on smithing, the time spent would be three times that of a normal book.]


    After hearing the system''s exnation of the forging book in his mind, Wu Mo nodded in understanding.


    "No wonder I consumed a lot of energy every time I read the forging notes from the internal reference room, even though they were only a few dozen pages long."


    p¦Á§ád¦Á §«?¦Í¨º|,§ã¨°§® Wu Mo did not know whether tough or cry. Only now did he finally understand the question that had been in his heart for half a year.


    "It''s a littlete now, so I''m not going to open this book yet. I''ll study it tomorrow."


    Considering that he would definitely spend hours reading the book once he opened it, Wu Mo stored the book in his Interspatial Ring first.


    Then, he closed his eyes and cleared his mind.


    He then left the Divine-grade Forging Space.


    Wu Mo sat on the bed and rxed when he saw the bedroom''s familiaryout.


    Now that the matter of the gear had been resolved and there was no longer a race against time, he could finally rest for a while.


    "I have to sleep early. I still have to go back to the Research Department tomorrow."


    Looking at the soft light from the hangingmp on the ceiling, Wu Mo touched his nose and muttered to himself. He immediately got up and headed to the bathroom to wash up.


    Not long after, he returned to his room, still wearing his wet slippers.


    He drew the curtains and adjusted the air conditioner to a suitable temperature.


    After that, Wu Mo drank a ss of milk and returned to bed. He slowly closed his eyes as he nned to have a good sleep.


    This was the best reward he could think of for now.


    It had not been easy trying toplete the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear''s research and development. Only he knew the hard work and fatigue he had to endure.


    He would take a little nap as a reward for himself.


    He closed his eyes and rxed his whole body. After a while, Wu Mo felt a wave of fatigue hit him like a tide.


    The sounds in his ears gradually disappeared, and he fell into deep slumber.


    The only thing left in the room was the silvery-white moonlight that shone through the gap in the curtains.


    Time passed with Wu Mo''s even breathing, and morning arrived in the blink of an eye.


    Wu Mo was well-rested.


    By the time he woke up, the sunlight outside the window was already a little ring.


    As he stretchedzily, Wu Mo felt that all the tiredness in his body had disappeared and been reced with energy.


    There was no more numbness and weakness in his neck, or any dry and ufortable feeling in his eyes.


    "As expected, cking off is the way to live long."


    Wu Mo''s joy was beyond words when he sensed the changes in his body.


    Of course, he knew the importance of bncing work and rest. The previous improvement project had just been incredibly rushed, and he had no time to rest.


    Wu Mo then got up and put on his clothes. He had nned to book a train ticket online to go back.


    However, as soon as he unlocked his phone, an unread message popped up.


    [I''ve already arranged for a liaison to pick you up. He''ll arrive at the factory at 1.00 pm. You should get ready. The military headquarters ordered this, so you can''t reject it.]


    Wu Mo looked at the text message from Academician Xu and smiled helplessly.


    Although it was more convenient to take a military vehicle, he felt that such treatment was not suitable for him.


    After all, under normal circumstances, only powerful leaders would ride a military vehicle. He was just an ordinary researcher, so it did not feel good to take a military vehicle back to the Research Department.


    [Okay, I''ll get ready. Thank you, Academician Xu.]


    Even though Wu Mo was a little reluctant, he still chose to cooperate and replied to Academician Xu''s message.


    The Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear that he had developed was highly valued by the military leaders of the eastern war zone. It was no surprise that he was receiving special treatment.


    As long as this incident died down after a while, he would be able to return to his normal life.


    From Wu Mo''s point of view, this was probably the only downside of sessfully developing new equipment.


    "Since I''m leaving, I should say goodbye to Elder Huang and the others."


    Wu Mo put on his windbreaker and walked out the door, facing the white snowkes that were floating in the air.


    The White River province was located in the north of the Nine Provinces, so when winter came, most of the regions in White River would experience snowfall.


    Therefore, ice and snow weremon sights in the White River province.


    Wu Mo walked in the snow-covered armory, and his ck boots made a squeaking sound as they pressed against the snow.


    The shrubbery on both sides were covered in white frost, and one could just vaguely see the withered yellow color underneath from a certain angle.


    The roofs of the surrounding buildings were also covered in a thickyer of snow. It gave the ce a holy and pure aura that no one could bear to destroy.


    However, on the main road where the trucks often transported materials, the snow had been cleared by the staff.


    Many people were working hard at this moment.


    Only a small number of staff members wearing thermal equipment were doing outdoor work.


    They had deep frowns, and their noses were slightly red from the cold.


    Nevertheless, they still did their jobs diligently and did not neglect their duties because of the cold.


    Many of them knew Wu Mo, the person who had recently be famous in the armory.


    They waved and greeted him as he passed by or bumped into them.


    Feeling their enthusiasm, Wu Mo smiled back.


    Although the atmosphere in the armory was a mix of pedantic and inflexible, the armory also dedicated itself to the field of forging by fostering a hardworking and pragmatic academic atmosphere.


    Not long after, Wu Mo arrived before Elder Huang''s office in the snow.


    Wearing a khaki-colored coat, Wei Ge was discussing the reform of the production workshop''s system with an assistant outside the office.


    Meanwhile, Elder Huang was sitting on the couch in the office and signing some documents. Next to him, the deputy director, Cao Jianzhong, had a smile on his face. It looked like he had signed another big order.


    "Wu Mo, you''re here."


    After Elder Huang signed the document, he looked up and saw Wu Mo standing at the door.


    He did not seem surprised at all. After he greeted him, he beckoned Wu Mo to sit down on the couch.


    Wu Mo was a little taken aback by Elder Huang''s attitude, but he thought about it. Academician Xu would have informed Elder Huang before arranging his return to the Research Department.


    So, Elder Huang definitely knew the purpose of his visit.


    "Yes, I''m here to say goodbye. I''m going back to the Fifth Research Department in the afternoon."


    Wu Mo sat down on the couch at the side and told them the purpose of his visit.


    Cao Jianzhong, the armory''s deputy director, was standing nearby and sorting out documents. He was shocked when he heard Wu Mo''s words. He immediately turned around and asked in confusion, "Huh, you''re leaving so soon? Did something happen?"

 Chapter 379 Parting

    When Wu Mo noticed Cao Jianzhong''s confused expression, he immediately waved his hand and exined, "I have something to deal with at the Fifth Research Department. That''s why I''m leaving in a hurry.


    "Please forgive me for not giving you a heads up."


    Seeing Wu Mo''s apologetic face, Cao Jianzhong instantly understood that Wu Mo was preparing to go back so soon because Academician Xu had already made arrangements.


    "Oh, I see." He nodded and quickly stored the document signed by Elder Huang in his briefcase.


    Cao Jianzhong was about to leave with his briefcase, but he stopped after he took two steps. Then, he turned around and spoke to Wu Mo as if something just urred to him.


    "Wu Mo, although you''ve only been here for two months, you''ve contributed so much to the armory. I''ll remember your help. If you ever need our help in the future, you can definitely count on me," hesaid with a serious face.


    Cao Jianzhong soon sensed that he had made the atmosphere in the office a little solemn.


    "If the opportunity arises, you''re more than wee to visit the armory again. You can also use the equipment here anytime," he said with a smile.


    Wu Mo was a little touched when he saw how sincere Cao Jianzhong was.


    He nodded, and a smile formed on his face.


    "No problem. We''ll definitely meet again in the future."


    Wu Mo watched as Cao Jianzhong left. Then, he turned to look at Elder Huang, who was slowly taking off his presbyopic sses.


    "Elder Huang, thank you for taking care of me over the past two months. To express my gratitude, I have a small parting gift for you."


    Wu Mo snapped his fingers as he spoke.


    The next second, a wooden gift box the size of a palm appeared in his hand.


    Elder Huang raised his eyebrows slightly when Wu Mo took out the gift box. His face was full of surprise.


    "Hehe, I didn''t expect to receive a gift at my age. But then again, gift giving doesn''t seem like your usual style," ElderHuang said with a kind expression.


    Wu Mo shrugged and casually said, "I''m often busy with work, so I don''t put much effort into interpersonal rtionships. But now, we''re going our separate ways.


    "You helped me a lot in the development of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear. I need to give you enough gifts as thanks just for that alone.


    "Besides, you gave me many useful suggestions in the subsequent improvement project, so I hope that you won''t reject my good intentions, Elder Huang."


    Wu Mo immediately opened the wooden box and took out a dark silver ring.


    The surface of the ring had been cast with cloud patterns, and silver threads on the ring''s surface outlined the shape of a phoenix. Although only a few lines of thread formed the phoenix, it was a vivid and lifelike depiction.


    The ring''s overall style was also quite elegant and the opposite of gaudy.


    Without careful observation, it would be extremely difficult for an ordinary person to associate it with spirit energy equipment.


    "Oh... This is an interesting essory."


    Elder Huang wanted to reject it at first, but after he saw the ancient ring in Wu Mo''s hand, his eyes immediately glinted.


    "I hope you''ll ept it, Elder Huang." Wu Mo handed the ring over and said sincerely.


    Light shed across Elder Huang''s eyes, and he realized that Wu Mo must have personally forged the ring.


    Wu Mo still managed to find the time to make him a parting gift despite his busy schedule. That was enough to show his intention.


    "Hehe, since it''s something you''ve prepared with such care, I won''t refuse."<novelsnext>please visit </novelsnext>


    Elder Huang smiled and took the ring. Immediately after, he ced it on his palm and observed it carefully.


    Every trace of forging on the ring appeared extremely natural. Although there were no gems embedded in it, Elder Huang could sense the abundant energy it contained.


    It was at the very least an Epic-grade essory.


    "Mm... The craftsmanship of this ring is excellent. You''ve put in a lot of effort."


    He opened his mouth slowly and revealed a satisfied smile.


    Hearing Elder Huang''s praise, Wu Mo waved his hand and humbly said, "Ah, it''s just a small token of my appreciation. My forging skills are insignificant before an expert like you."


    "Haha, you don''t have to be so polite with me. I heard from Academician Xu that you''re leaving at 1.00 pm. It''s gettingte, so I won''t take up any more of your time. You can head back and continue preparing."


    Elder Huang''s eyes were filled with joy. He was bing more and more pleased with Wu Mo.


    However, he felt a little regretful that he had not met Wu Mo before Academician Xu. If he had, he could have arranged for Wu Mo to work at the armory.


    If that happened, perhaps the armory would be even more developed now.


    "Alright, please take care of yourself, Elder Huang. Thank you for everything you''ve done for me. I''ll get going now."


    Wu Mo stood up and bowed deeply to Elder Huang. He was full of respect.


    Seeing this, Elder Huang''s expression changed. He quickly stood up and held Wu Mo''s arm.


    "There''s no need to be so polite. Thanks to you, the armory has developed rapidly in the past two months. I should be the one thanking you instead.


    "Let''s go, I''ll send you off."


    Elder Huang patted Wu Mo on the shoulder and spoke with a smile.


    The two of them then walked side by side to the office door. Wu Mo pushed it open and walked out as he reluctantly waved goodbye to Elder Huang.


    Elder Huang had given him the impression of a very stubborn and unsympathetic old man at first.


    However, after spending two months together, Wu Mo learned that Elder Huang was not resistant to new knowledge. Instead, he had a huge passion for research that most young people did not have.


    All these years, not only had he cared for his family alone, but he had also managed the armory andpleted the work assigned by his superiors meticulously.


    He was almost perfect in every way.


    Wu Mo had also learned a lot from Elder Huang in the past few months, so he was grateful to the old man. He was reluctant to part with the armory''s environment and work culture.


    Outside the office, Wu Mo and Wei Ge chatted for a while as well. Eventually, with some urging from Elder Huang, Wu Mo turned and left the office building.


    Elder Huang''s eyes were filled with regret as he watched Wu Mo''s figure disappear around the corner.


    When Wei Ge saw Elder Huang''s expression, he immediately teased, "Sir, don''t be too hard on yourself. Wu Mo is under Academician Xu. Even if you wanted to, you wouldn''t be able to make him stay.


    "Instead of beating yourself up, why don''t we open up more recruitment slots from next year onward? Maybe one day, our armory will be able to recruit someone talented like Wu Mo too."


    Elder Huang was a little dissatisfied because Wei Ge''s words interrupted his thoughts, and he immediately red at Wei Ge.


    "Hmph, that''s easy for you to say. There are so many young talents in White River, but how many of them are as upright as Wu Mo? He has extraordinary academic spirit and the ability to endure loneliness.


    "It wouldn''t be an exaggeration to say someone like that onlyes along once every hundred years."

 Chapter 380 Set Off

    Wei Ge could not help but feel envious when he saw how Elder Huang praised Wu Mo outside the office.


    However, he still felt that Elder Huang was exaggerating. He could not help but whisper, "Do you have to go that far? It''s just a Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear. I admit that he''s incredibly skilled, but it''s not the point that someone like him won''te by in another 100 years."


    Elder Huang instantly frowned when he heard Wei Ge mumbling.


    "Until now, you still haven''t understood the principle behind the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear and why it has so many functions! Yet, you have the nerve to say that!"


    After he spoke, Elder Huang sighed as he looked in the direction where Wu Mo had disappeared. "I have a feeling that if Wu Mo maintains the fiery academic spirit in his heart, it won''t be long before he breaks the shackles of the seven-star realm. He might even be like Lieutenant General Lu Yuansheng one day."


    Wei Ge felt his scalp go numb the moment he heard Elder Huang''s words.


    In the White River province, very few had been able to reach Lieutenant General Lu Yuansheng''s level.


    On top of that, a middle-stage seven-star cultivator had endless energy.


    Usually, those who had reached this rank were old men with white hair. They would also be in charge of a region.


    The recovery of spirit energy had been going on for 100 years. Those who could reach the middle-stage of seven stars before the age of 40 were some of the most powerful in the province.


    If Wu Mo actually reached the same rank before 40 just as Elder Huang had predicted, White River''s status in the Nine Provinces would probably rise, and it might even be on par with Red Heart.


    Thinking of this, Wei Ge felt a little excited, but he quickly calmed down.


    The seven-star rank was like a star in the sky to ordinary people or those with poor talent. It was difficult to reach in their lifetime.


    It would be difficult even for Wu Mo to reach seven stars.


    There was a higher probability that he would not be able to reach it and his confidence would be affected. He would be stuck at the peak of six stars until he died of old age.


    Such cases weremonce.


    Wei Ge took a deep breath and looked at the cars that kepting and going below the office building. "It''s cold outside. Let''s go in, Sir."


    Elder Huang nodded, and the two of them returned to the office.


    On the other side, Wu Mo also had mixed feelings as he made his way back.


    It was already 11.30 am, and there was only an hour left before he would leave in the military vehicle.


    "Sniff, sniff...


    "What''s that smell? It''s so fragrant."


    Wu Mo passed by a staff member, and a fragrance that made him salivate immediately filled his nose.


    Wu Mo looked back and noticed that the staff member was holding a meal packed in a disposable lunch box. Through the water droplets formed by condensation, he could vaguely see the roast pork and garlic inside.


    "It''s true that I''m leaving, but no matter how anxious I am, I should at least have a meal at the armory before I go."


    Wu Mo''s eyes lit up, and he instantly became excited. Without any hesitation, he changed his route and jogged toward the cafeteria.


    By the time he arrived at the cafeteria, it was almost 11.50 am.


    In the past, Wu Mo would visit the cafeteria when there were not many people around. Since it was currently mealtime, the moment he pushed the door open and stepped inside, he saw many people lining up to get their food.


    Wu Mo would usually sit in a corner by a window. Fortunately, there were not many people around his spot at this time.


    After he looked around, Wu Mo finally found ane with fewer people in line to order food.


    About ten minutester, he arrived at his usual seat with a te full of food.


    Since he was in a hurry, Wu Mo did not order anything from the waiter. Instead, he picked a random staff meal that looked good.


    Inparison to their  carte menu items, there were not many selections when it came to staff meals provided for ordinary staff. Nheless, they were still quite sumptuous.<novelsnext>please visit </novelsnext>


    He had meat and vegetables, as well as a bowl of carrot soup that could warm the stomach.


    Wu Mo''s appetite was great. He did not care about the gazes of the staff around him as he buried his head in the food.


    Perhaps it was because this was hisst meal at the armory.


    Wu Mo felt as if he had been baptized after the meal. Besides, the coldness in his body had disappeared.


    "It''s almost time to go."


    Looking at the time on his phone, Wu Mo slowly stood up.


    He looked around and imprinted the familiar and lively scene in his mind.


    Then, he walked out of the cafeteria without any hesitation.


    ...


    At 12.40 pm, Wu Mo stored all his personal belongings in his Interspatial Ring.


    He also took some time to drop by the research facility and clear all the data rted to the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear in the office.


    It was already close to 1.00 pm when he was done.


    Just as Wu Mo was about to reach the armory''s entrance, the phone in his pocket rang.


    "Hello, Mr. Wu Mo. I''m the liaison officer whom Academician Xu assigned to pick you up. I''m sending you to the Research Department..."


    "Alright, I''ll be there immediately."


    After Wu Mo hung up, he quickened his pace and promptly arrived at the armory''s gate.


    A special green army vehicle had parked not far away from the gate.


    There were three people standing next to the military vehicle. The one at the front was the liaison officer who had contacted Wu Mo on the phone earlier. The other two were escorts who were also a requirement when picking up important personnel. They were all early-stage six-star cultivators.


    "Take care, Mr. Wu."


    Wu Mo then returned his staff pass to the security guards and hurried out.


    Two security guards in uniform waved goodbye to him with eyes full of respect.


    Soon, Wu Mo was seated in the military vehicle. The two escorting cultivators sat in the back row with him to ensure his safety at all times.


    "Let''s go!" he said heavily.


    Wu Mo took onest look at the scenery inside the armory and the rusty red metal words above the gate.


    "Alright!" the liaison officer responded and immediately stepped on the elerator.


    Soon, the military vehicle carrying Wu Mo left the armory''s vicinity and headed toward the Fifth Research Department.


    Wu Mo had mixed feelings as he looked at the scenery outside the window.


    Although he had only been in the armory for two months, he had learned a lot and seen forging equipment that was integrated with the best technology.


    "Sigh, I hope that one day in the future, I''ll be able to see Elder Huang, Wei Ge, and the others again."


    Wu Mo calmed down and started to think about what kind of problem Academician Xu was facing. What made him so anxious for him to go back?


    "Liaison Officer, did Academician Xu say anything to you before you came to the armory?" Wu Mo sat up straight and asked curiously.


    Academician Xu sent the liaison officer over after all. Perhaps he knew the reason.

 Chapter 381 A Letter From Liao Dongcheng

    "I''m sorry, Academician Xu only arranged for me to pick you up. I''m not sure what''s going on over there," the liaison said apologetically.


    "Alright..."


    Wu Mo replied softly, but he became even more curious.


    The two escorts beside Wu Mo were focused on what was happening outside. They were guarding against any danger that coulde at a moment''s notice.


    Meanwhile, Wu Mo leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes to rest.


    The armory was located in the Baihe District. It was at least two hours away from the Fifth Research Department by car, so the military vehicle sped across the highway in the emergencyne.


    Trees lined the sides of the road. However, they looked a little bleak as they were left with bare branches, and their thick trunks were covered in ayer of white snow.


    At 3.10 pm, the military vehicle carrying Wu Mo finally reached the Fifth Research Department.


    The moment Wu Mo saw the magnificence of the Research Department''s main entrance and the two armed guards again, he had a familiar yet somewhat strange feeling.


    He had stayed in the Fifth Research Department for more than half a year, and he was quite familiar with the surrounding grass and trees.


    The armory had strict rules, and work was carried out in an orderly manner.


    Inparison, the Fifth Research Department upied arger area, which gave people a sense of freedom.


    Wu Mo no longer felt anxious, and hefelt like he was back home.


    "Academician Xu should be in his office. Do you want to meet him right now or go back and rest first?" The liaison followed Wu Mo and asked politely after they went through the procedures at the entrance.


    "I''m not tired yet. Let''s go now." Wu Mo stretched his arms and said cheerfully.


    Soon, the two of them walked toward Academician Xu''s office building. On the way, Wu Mo continued to wonder what kind of trouble Academician Xu had encountered.


    After a while, the two of them took the elevator to the research building''s seventh floor, where Academician Xu''s office was.


    The liaison then reached out and knocked on the office door. Before long, Academician Xu opened it and appeared before them. He was wearing a white research coat, and he looked a little tired.


    "Academician Xu, I''ve brought him here safely." The liaison officer gave him a salute and said respectfully.


    Academician Xu subconsciously looked at Wu Mo for a moment, and a kind smile formed on his face.


    "You''ve worked hard. Get some rest first."


    As soon as he finished speaking, the liaison turned around and left.


    "Long time no see. Come in, let''s have a chat."


    The corners of Academician Xu''s mouth rose, and he immediately gestured an invite to Wu Mo.


    Wu Mo was a little touched. He had a lot of things to say to Academician Xu as well, so he quickly walked in.


    "Have a seat, busy man."


    Xu Wuyue sat down on the couch and said to Wu Mo jokingly.


    "Um... Alright."


    Wu Mo appeared a little hesitant when he saw how rxed Academician Xu was. The academician had sounded anxious when he asked him to returnst night. That was why he thought that the Research Department might have encountered a difficult problem.


    However, it seemed like he had misunderstood Academician Xu''s intentions.<novelsnext>please visit </novelsnext>


    "How have you been in the past two months? If it''s convenient, could you share your experience in the armory with me?"


    As Xu Wuyue spoke, he took out two cups and filled them with tea. He was ready to hear everything.


    "It was pretty good. I learned a lot in the two months I was in the armory. Their modern equipment has broadened my horizons and also yed a great role in perfecting the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear."


    Wu Mo took the cup and drank some tea. Then, he immediately told Academician Xu what he had seen and heard in the armory for the past two months.


    This included the shock he felt when he first entered the research facility, the functions of the various modern equipment inside, and the help he received when hepleted the improvements.


    "Before I went to the armory, I didn''t realize that it was an organization that''s polished equipment forging technology to the extreme. Whether it came to the mass production factory or management of the material warehouse, their ultimate goal was to forge equipment of better quality.


    Wu Mo sighed and looked at Academician Xu. With a smile, he said, "However, I was able to sessfully develop the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear because you approved my visit to the armory.


    "After all, before I went there, the armory''s research facility didn''t have a good reputation. If I hadn''t experienced it myself, I''m afraid I wouldn''t have truly understood them."


    Xu Wuyue smiled helplessly at Wu Mo''s serious face.


    "Don''t give me the credit. You''re the real reason for the sess of this research and development, end of discussion."


    "Hehe, alright."


    Wu Mo scratched his head in embarrassment.


    Then, he changed the subject and curiously asked, "Academician Xu, you seem quite rxed right now. It doesn''t look like you''ve encountered anything urgent, so why did you ask me toe back in such a hurry?"


    Xu Wuyue smiled mysteriously when he saw Wu Mo''s confused face.


    He gently turned the cup on the coffee table before he looked up and asked, "Wu Mo, do you know what day it is today?"


    "It''s the 9th of January. What''s the matter? Is there an important festival today?"


    Wu Mo was puzzled by Academician Xu''s demeanor, so he replied with uncertainty.


    "How many days are there until the new year?" Xu Wuyue continued to ask.


    "Twenty-one... Oh, I see!" Wu Mo answered without hesitation.


    "Before he could say, "Oh, my God," something urred to him, and he quickly understood Academician Xu''s intention.


    "Haha, it looks like you understand."


    Seeing Wu Mo''s expression of sudden realization, Xu Wuyue took a sip of tea and stood up. He then took out a letter from the locked cab under theputer desk.


    "Here. Brigadier General Liao Dongcheng asked me to pass this to you."


    Wu Mo took the envelope from Academician Xu and opened it with surprise.


    [To Wu Mo,


    [How are you, Wu Mo? Congrattions on your third breakthrough in the field of forging.


    [ording to our previous agreement, I''ve sent the letter of rmendation to the official organizer of the exchange conference, so you can rest assured.


    [Although my rank isn''t high enough for me to learn about yourtest creation, I know that youpleted this R&D project alone. The equipment that you''ve forged will definitely shock and change the current state of the forging field.


    [I know you''re very talented, but I''m sure it was still extremely difficult toplete the research and development of such era-defining equipment.]

 Chapter 382 The Upcoming Exchange Conference

    [On behalf of the arms organizations in the southeastern war zone, I thank you for your efforts in expanding the field of forging.


    [At the same time, I hope that you will continue to work hard and not waste your youth. However, remember to maintain a bnce between work and rest as well. Don''t tire yourself unnecessarily.


    [As for the exchange conference, everything has been settled. I hope that you will gain a lot from it.


    [Yourrade, Liao Dongcheng.


    [Date: January 2.]


    He looked at the ink on the paper and the writing that seemed to be in General Liao''s style.


    Wu Mo was touched. There were not many people who would always worry about him.


    He had only be friends with General Liao by chance when he put his Invisibility Armor to test.


    Later, he received news from Academician Xu that the federation would hold an exchange conference at the end of the year for all the young cksmiths in the Nine Provinces.


    The requirement to participate in the conference was three technological breakthroughs. One had to develop three pieces of equipment within five years of entering an organization under the military.


    Wu Mo, on the other hand, had only joined the Fifth Research Department for more than half a year. So far, he had developed the Invisibility Armor and Spirit Wave Sword, which could only be considered as two technological breakthroughs.


    To participate in the conference at the end of the year, Wu Mo had to work hard toplete the research and development for the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear in thest few months.


    His agreement with Brigadier General Liao had also been made four months ago.


    At that time, Brigadier General Liao awarded him the first lieutenant medal and the Exemry Scientific Research Award.


    To encourage Wu Mo to continue working hard, General Liao brought up the Annual Exchange Conference and the agreement they could make.


    If Wu Mo couldplete three technological breakthroughs before the end of the year, Liao Dongcheng would write a letter of rmendation to help him meet the requirements for the conference.


    However, it had been a few months since the incident, and Wu Mo assumed that General Liao would have forgotten about it. Unexpectedly, General Liao had already sent out the letter of rmendation half a month ago. That allowed him to pass the review and secure a ce in the exchange conference.


    "Hehe, when you put in the effort, you will always reap the rewards. Now that you''ve finally obtained a spot in the conference, you''ll have to think about making the most of it," Xu Wuyue reminded Wu Mo who was next to him.


    He could see that Wu Mo was staring at the letter in a daze.


    "Mhm... Don''t worry, Academician Xu. I''ll definitely treasure this hard-earned spot and use it to reach the six-star rank!"


    Wu Mo appeared excited, and his heart was filled with a fighting spirit.


    The exchange conference was open to all the young cksmiths in the Nine Provinces. However, only the elites in his age group could obtain a spot in the conference.


    Many seven-star master cksmiths would be at the exchange conference to give them pointers. Wu Mo did not know all the details of the event, but based on how high the entry requirement was, he could tell that grabbing the opportunity to attend it would benefit him.


    His forging skills were already at the peak of five stars.


    His mastery of theoretical knowledge was also close to perfection.


    However, due to his limited spirit power and theck of avable information, he had not been able to reach the six-star rank.


    This conference was an opportunity for Wu Mo to make a breakthrough. As such, he had been working extremely hard for the past two months.


    "Yes, I asked you toe back earlier because I wanted to give you plenty of time to prepare. Besides, the three lieutenant generals who visited the armory have their eyes on you.


    "In addition, the project you''re developing is ssified. Your reputation will grow a lot in a short time, so staying in the armory won''t be the best course of action."


    Xu Wuyue nodded in satisfaction and expressed his thoughts to answer Wu Mo''s questions.


    "I see. Thank you, Academician Xu, for looking out for me. I didn''t even realize it."<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Wu Mo''s eyes flickered as he finally understood the situation.


    Before the three lieutenant generals left, they had extended olive branches to him.


    Shen Hongyuan wanted him to go to the First Military Region and be a head assistant in the Military Department.


    Zhuang Zhe and Lieutenant General Lu Yuansheng suggested that he train and learn new skills in the eastern war zone.


    However, back then, Wu Mo was not thinking that far ahead, so he rejected their offers.


    He did not expect Academician Xu to figure out the thoughts of the three lieutenant generals even though he was never at the armory.


    This solidified Wu Mo''s admiration for him.


    "The conference will be held in three days in the Red Heart province, which has the greatest overall strength. When the timees, I''ll assign someone to go with you. Once you arrive, the local staff will properly take care of you."


    Academician Xu paced around in his office as he provided Wu Mo with some information.


    Wu Mo, on the other hand, was a little disappointed.


    "It would be great if the conference could be held in the White River province. We''re not familiar with that ce."


    "Hehe, if only the Red Heart province didn''t have such favorable terrain and a prosperous economy... It''s no surprise that the federal government would want to hold the conference there.


    "But you don''t have to worry. The exchange conference organized by the federation will be absolutely fair. There will be no bias or fraud." Academician Xu looked at the snow outside the window and said in a somewhat helpless tone.


    Whether it was in terms of economy or strength, Red Heart was currently ranked number one in the Nine Provinces.


    Unlike the Red Heart province, where seven-star cultivators were everywhere, the White River province was in a much bleaker state.


    Even so, White River''s economy had improved a lot in the recent half a year, and its overall strength was also approaching the eighth ce.


    "Well, it''s not important where the conference will be held. It doesn''t really affect me."


    Wu Mo felt that the atmosphere in the office was a little gloomy. Hence, he immediately stood up and spoke with confidence.


    "Don''t worry, Academician Xu. I''ll definitely seize all opportunities and try my best to break the shackles of the six-star rank."


    "Yes, I believe in your abilities. It''ste now, so you should go and rest early. Try to be in the best shape for the conference."


    Xu Wuyue was pleased to see Wu Mo''s confident face when he turned to him.


    He patted the young man on the shoulder and gave him a gentle reminder.


    "Okay, I''ll take my leave then." After saying goodbye to Academician Xu, Wu Mo immediately left the office.


    He turned around and walked toward his vi.


    Academician Xu stood by the window and looked at Wu Mo''s disappearing figure asplicated feelings filled his heart.


    Among the younger cksmiths in the White River province, Wu Mo was definitely in the top 10, even if he was not the best.


    However, this was only limited to one province.


    It''s important to note that the Red Heart province was not only extremely rich in resources, but it also had many rare natural treasures.


    Simrly, the overall strength of the younger cksmiths in Red Heart was a level higher than those in White River.


    He was a little worried that Wu Mo would feel intimidated and a little discouraged after seeing all kinds of geniuses at the conference.

 Chapter 383 Ways To Improve Strength

    Xu Wuyue did not express his concerns in his previous conversation with Wu Mo because Wu Mo was a man of great importance.


    He was afraid of crushing Wu Mo''s confidence.


    The culture in the Red Heart province was different from that of the White River province. It was located in the south of the Nine Provinces, where the air was warm and the soil was fertile as well as moist.


    Since the Red Heart province covered arge area, it had many natural unpolluted forests. Therefore, its production of materials far exceeded that of other provinces.


    Not only did this allow Red Heart''s economy to flourish, but it also made the cultivators and cksmiths in the region much stronger than those in other provinces.


    For example, in the White River province, cultivators around the age of twenty was on average at the early stage of three stars.


    The strength of the younger-generation cultivators in the nearby provinces was simr. They were basically all in the early or middle stage of the three-star rank.


    Only a small number of disciples from aristocratic families or those with extraordinary talent could reach peak three stars before the age of twenty.


    However, in the Red Heart province, the average strength of the cultivators around the age of twenty was peak three stars. Their foundation was slightly better, and it was not difficult for them to reach the four-star rank.


    The strength of the younger-generation cultivators and cksmiths in Red Heart was one or two levels higher than those in the other provinces. As such, they were able to top the list every year.


    Therefore, the cksmiths of Red Heart would almost always rank in the top three during the federation''s Annual cksmith Exchange Conference.


    The other provinces could only fight for the fourth to tenth positions.


    In contrast, the young cksmiths that the White River province sent out every year would often not even ce in the top 10.


    The cksmith''s exchange conference had been held for so many years, but only three of the cksmiths from White River had managed to enter the top ten.


    Thepetition was too intense, and every segment of the exchange was linked. Plus, the young cksmiths from Red Heart and the other provinces already had a head start.


    Hence, Xu Wuyue was worried that Wu Mo''s performance would be affected for various reasons after the exchange conference.


    He had already done what he could. Wu Mo would have to depend on himself to achieve results at the exchange conference.


    Xu Wuyue sighed and returned to his desk to resume his unfinished work.


    Meanwhile, Wu Mo had also returned to his vi.


    The vi had not been taken care of for two months, and most of the flowers, as well as trees, in front of the courtyard had withered. Only a few cold-resistant shrubs were left, and this added a touch of green vitality to the courtyard.


    Since it had been snowing a lot recently, the flower beds on both sides of the courtyard were covered in a thickyer of snow.


    Wu Mo took the key out of his Interspatial Ring and opened the vi''s door. Then, he raised his head and looked around. He had been away for two months, but everything still felt extremely familiar to him. There was also a touch of warmth and ease that came from returning home.


    "I''m finally back."


    Wu Mo sat down on the couch in the living room and took out the letter that Academician Xu had given him.


    A trace of anticipation appeared on his face as he looked at General Liao''s handwriting.


    "After half a year of constant work, I finally managed to obtain a spot in the exchange conference."


    Wu Mo felt a little excited when he saw the invitation card in the envelope.


    A chance to participate in the conference was one of the reasons why he had been able to tirelessly repeat boring tasks every day.


    Wu Mo had managed to endure working for such a long time because he had a goal and desire in his heart.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    The final results were very gratifying as he sessfully received an invitation card three days before the conference.


    Wu Mo put the invitation back into the envelope and carefully stored it in his Interspatial Ring again.


    After that, he slowly closed his eyes and gradually calmed his mind.


    Soon, his senses were cut off, and his body was seemingly suspended in the stream of time.


    Some timeter, he began to regain control of his body.


    When he opened his eyes again, he was in a chaotic dark purple space.


    "System, is there anything else that can increase a cksmith''s spirit power apart from rising up the ranks?"


    He stood in front of the worktable and examined the familiar equipment.


    "Host, so far, there are only three ways to effectively increase the limit of a cksmith''s spirit power."


    [Method 1: Surpass your current rank. Once you rank up, your spirit power will increase greatly, and this will improve the quality of all the equipment in the forging space.


    [Method 2: Read books that can help you increase your spirit power. In real life, some rare books contain the forging path of predecessors. If you learn and master them, you''ll be able to boost your spirit power. Note: This type of spirit power upgrade will not increase your current rank.


    [Method 3: Wear equipment that can increase your spirit power''s upper limit. Some equipment also have special effects that can increase spirit-rted attributes. Note: This type of spirit power upgrade will not increase your current rank.]


    As Wu Mo read the words that kept appearing before him, he felt a little confused.


    "What do you mean? In other words, apart from relying on myself, there''s no other way to help me advance?"


    "The other two ways to boost spirit power can help you level up, such as from the early stage to the middle stage. However, they can''t be used to increase your rank."


    The system''s voice rang in his mind, and he finally had a general understanding of the situation.


    Now, his strength had been stagnant at the peak of five stars for almost half a year without any fluctuations.


    Although he had never stopped developing high-quality equipment, only his theoretical knowledge and forging skills had improved.


    On the other hand, his spirit energy had not improved at all aside from bing more condensed.


    This was the reason why Wu Mo was so eager to participate in the smithing conference.


    His main purpose was to use this opportunity to break through to the six-star rank.


    However, from his previous conversation with the system, he roughly understood that he could not use any other methods to improve his current situation.


    He could only rely on himself to break the barrier and reach a higher rank.


    This answer disappointed him a little, but Wu Mo was not discouraged. Instead, he was even more excited that he was about to participate in the exchange conference .


    This was because if the conference could not improve the strength of the younger cksmiths, the federal government would not spend so much effort and money to organize it every year.


    Even if he could not reach a new rank straight away, he should be able to reduce the difficulty of the process with the federal government''s help.


    Anyway, Wu Mo had no other choice now. He might as well concentrate on preparing for the conference. It would be good to see more of the world.


    Wu Mo sighed as he looked at the furnace and workstation''s upgrade options, which he had yet to unlock. Then, he quickly exited the Divine Forging Space.

 Chapter 384 Chu Qingyans Situation

    Back in the living room, Wu Mo stood up and went upstairs.


    He took out some fresh clothes from the closet and entered the bathroom to prepare the things he needed for a bath.


    He had to wash up after all.


    Although there were a lot of things to do in the next few days, that did not stop him from asionally allowing himself to rx.


    ...


    Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, two days had passed.


    Several young cksmiths in the White River province had met the requirements, and they were preparing to be invited. As the time for the exchange conference drew closer, they all felt a little nervous.


    Ultimately, an event on the scale of the Annual cksmith Exchange Conference could very well be thergest and most special event they would ever attend in their entire lives.


    As the name suggested, the conference only extended invites to the younger generation of cksmiths in the Nine Provinces.


    The entire exchange conference wouldst for five days, during which the invited cksmiths would undergo various tests and strength assessments arranged by the federal government.


    The top 10 cksmiths with the best performance would receive extremely generous rewards and a chance to meet a master cksmith.


    Whether it was the reward or the opportunity forworking, they were all conditions that the cksmiths dreamed of.


    The federal government was the highest authority in charge of the enormous war zone, so the federation had assets and talents that ordinary people could not imagine.


    Legendary or even Divine-grade equipment and meeting high-ranking cksmiths at the peak of seven stars...


    No matter which reward one received, it was the best opportunity for a young craftsman.


    Being able to get along with high-ranking cksmiths would solve the problems that had been puzzling them for a long time. They would also be introduced to many advanced forging techniques that they would not havee into contact with, otherwise.


    Due to the unbelievably rich rewards, the federation''s exchange conference had unparalleled poprity in the Nine Provinces.


    Every young cksmith yearned for it, and every cksmith who had participated in the conference had been able to improve their skills very quickly. They reached heights that ordinary people could only dream of.


    Therefore, every time the exchange conference was around the corner, every cksmith in the Nine Provinces would talk about all kinds of matters rted to it.


    Various television stations would broadcast programs centered around the conference as well.


    The overwhelming publicity would often set off a wave in the entire Nine Province.


    Every cksmith who received an invitation was also highly valued by the Military Department in their province.


    Of course, Wu Mo was no exception.


    However, at this moment, apart from those in White River''s military headquarters who were paying close attention to Wu Mo...


    Many rivers away, someone in Red Heart was also thinking about Wu Mo.


    In themand room of a military region in Red Heart, Chu Qingyan was sitting on the couch while being surrounded by several people.


    He was watching the members of a blue team on a screen, and they were charging toward a red team''s base together.


    The blue team members were operating his All-in-one Armor. They were pushing the red team members horizontally to minimize theirbat space.


    Seeing that victory was only a matter of time, the corners of Chu Qingyan''s mouth immediately curled into an expectant smile.


    "As expected of Major Chu. The equipment he developed has not only provided thebat team with extremely high defense, but even their mobility''s much higher than usual. The red team members can''t win at all."


    The one who spoke was a young man with ck-rimmed sses.


    He was standing behind Chu Qingyan and wearing a whiteb coat. On top of being a little petite, his face was somewhat delicate too.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Seeing that the blue team was on the verge of victory, he instantly spoke in high spirits.


    "I''ve told you that suchbat exercises are meaningless. If the worried military leaders hadn''t insisted on re-testing, I believe we would''ve already been in a military vehicle heading to the exchange conference," a beautiful woman sitting next to Chu Qingyan quickly responded.


    After she finished speaking, she even leaned into Chu Qingyan''s arms like a spoiled child and whispered, "Qingyan developed the All-in-one Armor after all. With his strength and talent, what kind of equipment can''t he make?"


    Hearing the woman''s words, several ingratiating people around her nodded in agreement.


    "Hmm... The blue team has yet to find any ws in the armor. How disappointing," Chu Qingyan said emotionlessly.


    His words seemed to be filled with dissatisfaction, but there was a tinge of excitement in the depths of his eyes.


    "Major Chu, don''t me them. These first-tier members have never seen such high-tech equipment before. It''s no surprise that they''re still getting used to it."


    "That''s right, Major Chu. Those country bumpkins don''t even know the materials used to make the armor. How could they find any ws?"


    Several of his subordinates around him responded one after another. They looked at Chu Qingyan with respect and even a trace of fear.


    "Hmm... It looks like I was wrong about them."


    Chu Qingyan raised his eyebrows and looked at the young man beside him. "The paper has been submitted, and the material patent has been applied. The invitation card also arrived two days ago. It''s all thanks to your help. Once the conference is over, I''ll give you a month off."


    "Ah, really?! Major Chu, you''re too good to us!" the young man with ck-rimmed sses said happily.


    His face lit up when he heard Chu Qingyan''s words.


    "Aren''t you being silly? When has Major Chu ever lied to us?"


    The woman in Chu Qingyan''s arms raised her head and rolled her eyes at him.


    "As expected of Major Chu. He''s opened up a new world!


    "The great Chu is wise!" the person beside him said approvingly. All kinds ofpliments came his way.


    As he listened to their praises, the smug expression on his face intensified. Chu Qingyan reached out and gently stroked the shoulder of the woman next to him.


    He looked at the variety of expensive red wine and desserts on the coffee table before the couch and listened to the "songbird" in his arms. Right then, he felt that leaving White River had been an extremely wise move.


    If he had not been in contact with the rebel organization in White River, how could he have obtained these mysterious blueprints?


    However, he was eventually expelled from the Fifth Research Department and even exiled from the White River province.


    Despite that, the treatment he received in exchange for this helped him stand above the rest.


    Not only did he have a ce in the Red Heart province, but he also became the leader of a research team under the military.


    Every day, he had wine and beautifulpanions. How enjoyable was that?


    If he had not taken an unconventional path back then, he would not have gotten this treatment and status today.


    When he looked at the screen in front of themander again, the blue team in the All-in-one Armor hadpletely destroyed the Red Team''s base.


    The battle simtion had finallye to an end.


    "Congrattions, Major Chu. You''re one step closer to the six-star rank!"


    "Congrattions, Major Chu! We have to celebrate this!"


    "Baby, I''ll go to your room tonight and pop some champagne."

 Chapter 385 Exchange Conference Craze

    The voices in his ears kept alternating, and Chu Qingyan appeared a little dazed.


    A familiar figure soon appeared in his mind. It was Wu Mo, whom he had not seen for more than half a year.


    Wu Mo''s image was imprinted in his mind. He imagined Wu Mo in dirty clothes and a depressed state, like an abandoned child.


    "Hahaha... Wu Mo, oh, Wu Mo, I never thought you''d be reduced to this.


    "If you hade to the Red Heart province like me, you would have at least be the head researcher''s assistant now."


    Chu Qingyan squinted as the fragrance of the woman in his arms filled his nose and made him feel a sense of superiority.


    Compared to the pitiful Wu Mo, he wasparable to a phoenix that had risen to the heavens.


    "Weren''t you great in the test field? Weren''t you able to suppress me back then? But now?


    "You''re not even worthy of being my opponent. You''d better just be a good boy and disappear from the public eye."


    Chu Qingyan recalled how he had instructed his researchers to look into Wu Mo''s current situation two days ago.


    To his surprise, after half a year, Wu Mo had been transferred from the Research Department without an independent project. He had begun working as a quality inspector in an armory instead.


    When he received the results of his subordinates'' investigation, Chu Qingyan was in disbelief at first.


    He had assumed that Wu Mo would at least get a position in the Fifth Research Department even if he did not gain the same opportunity as he did.


    He never thought that Wu Mo would receive a transfer and be a dispensable worker.


    However, he quickly epted this fact. Although he felt a little regretful about losing his arch nemesis, he was still incredibly satisfied with Wu Mo''s fate.


    Not only did he feel superior as a result, but he also believed that he had made an extremely wise decision back then.


    As for Professor Tan, his former mentor, he would punish him in the future. He did not even have to consider it.


    "Alright... The simtion test is over. We can go back now."


    As the screen in themand room dimmed, Chu Qingyan returned to reality.


    He stood up with his arm around the woman''s waist and ordered his men to leave themand room immediately.


    The afternoon sun was shining brightly as Chu Wingyan and the woman beside him sat in the first military vehicle. Several members of the research team also got into other vehicles, and they all returned together.


    ...


    "This year''s exchange conference will be held in the Red Heart province''s Federal Hall. A total of over 80 young cksmiths have been invited to participate in this year''s conference. ording to the governor, this conference will introduce apletely new judging standard. We hope that the ambitious young people of White River will be able to obtain the best results at the conference."


    A host in a suit was reporting on the exchange conference on TV.


    Right then, Little Yan was sitting on a stool while her mother was picking vegetables.


    "Mom, the conference looks pretty important. I wonder if Brother will be attending?" Little Yan asked curiously.


    Fang Hun looked at her daughter, who was tilting her head to the side with a look of anticipation. "Although your brother works in an institution like the Research Department, a conference like this is obviously very important. Usually, only national leaders are invited. How could Little Mo attend?" she said helplessly.


    "Oh, okay..."


    Her mother''s answer made Wu Yan a little disappointed. However, she refused to give up and mumbled softly, "It''s hard to say. Brother got first ce in the Divine Arms Academy. This exchange conference is obviously targeted at young cksmiths. My brother might just attend it.


    "Hmph..."


    Pursing her lips, Wu Yan continued to watch the news report.


    Fang Hun could not help butugh when she saw the cute way her daughter was mumbling.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Whether or not her son could make a name for himself was secondary to her. As long as he was healthy and able to visit them back home every year, everything was fine.


    After all, for thest two years, it had been difficult for graduates to find a job despite the poprity of various industries. Every time she went out to buy vegetables, all the stalls would cut and pack everything up very nicely. Hence, she understood that there was hugepetition, and the young people faced enormous pressure.


    There were only 20 days till the new year, and she could only hope that her son would return home soon.


    ...


    The next morning, Wu Mo woke up in his soft,fortable bed and saw the familiar, as well as spacious, ceiling.


    There were still 30 hours before the conference.


    "Urgh... It looks like I slept a littlete."


    Looking at the gentle light shining through the gap in the curtain, Wu Mo rubbed his eyes and immediately got out of bed.


    He opened the window first and basked in the sun. After every cell in his body woke up, he entered the bathroom to wash up.


    Afterst night''s bath and eight hours of sleep, he was almost in tip-top shape.


    He could enter working mode at any time, and staying in the Divine-grade Forging Space for 14 hours would not be a problem.


    His body was filled with endless energy, and he felt at ease, as though he had just been reborn.


    After he put on his coat, he subconsciously picked up his phone to check the time.


    However, a missed call on the screen immediately caught his attention.


    "It''s from Academician Xu... Looks like we''ll have to leave today."


    Once he put his phone back into his pocket, Wu Mo went downstairs to the living room.


    The food in the refrigerator had been sitting there for two months. Although it did not appear rancid, Wu Mo still packed it up and threw it away just to be safe.


    Fortunately, he had bought some premade food when he visited the cafeteriast night, so it was not a problem for him to have breakfast.


    Right after breakfast, he went out and headed to Academician Xu''s office building.


    At nine o''clock in the morning, uniformed staff could be seen everywhere in the Research Department.


    However, most of them seemed calm, and they went about their work unhurriedly.


    It was indeed different from the tense and orderly atmosphere in the armory.


    If he had to choose, he would take the calmness of the Research Department.


    A whileter, Wu Mo arrived at Academician Xu''s office. As usual, he knocked on the door first.


    He did not enter the room until he heard Academician Xu''s voice.


    The situation today was a little different from the private conversation he had with Academician Xu yesterday.


    This time, there were three other people in the office.


    One of them was Old Wen, who had helped with thepletion of the Spirit Wave Sword''s mass production.


    The other two sitting on the couch were Professor Tan and a girl in her 20s. He had never seen her before.


    Professor Tan was holding a cup of coffee and talking to Old Wen.


    The young girl, on the other hand, was sitting next to Academician Xu. Based on the distance between them, it seemed that they had a good rtionship.

 Chapter 386 Xu Wanqing

    "You''re here. I was just thinking about giving you another call to hurry you up."


    When Academician Xu saw Wu Mo walk in, he immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile.


    The young girl sitting next to him also looked at Wu Mo with curiosity and smiled at him politely.


    "Oh... my phone was on silentst night, so I didn''t hear any of your calls. I''m sorry," Wu Mo said, a little embarrassed.


    He then nodded a greeting to Professor Tan and Old Wen.


    "Wu Mo, I haven''t seen you for two months, and it looks like you''ve lost some weight. How are you? Did you suffer at the armory?" Old Wen, who was sitting on the couch, immediately asked. His heart seemed to ache for Wu Mo.


    He noticed that the young man''s skin had be a few shades darker and that he looked a little haggard.


    "Old Wen, I went to the armory to study. How can you say that I suffered? You, on the other hand, look more energetic after I haven''t seen you for a few months."


    Wu Mo quickly stepped forward and smiled when he saw Old Wen looking at him with concern.


    "Hehe, you''re quite a sweet talker, but it''s been hard on you these past few months. You''ve been working day and night to make it in time for the conference. In the vast White River province, how many young people can do the same?"


    Old Wen sighed with admiration.


    "Haha, Old Wen, stop buttering him up. He''ll feel shy again and say something humble," Professor Tan, who was sitting on the side, reminded.


    At the same time, he looked at Wu Mo mischievously.


    Just as he had expected, Wu Mo instantly appeared a little awkward after Old Wenplimented him. His hands hung in the air uneasily as if he had nowhere to put them.


    "Professor Tan, don''t make fun of me. I just don''t know how to takepliments."


    Wu Mo quickly collected himself and shrugged helplessly.


    "Hehe, okay, we don''t have much time. Let''s get back to our main agenda."


    Xu Wuyue sat down on the couch again. Soon after, he took out a notebook with a brown cover and opened it.


    Professor Tan and Old Wen had a serious look as if they were going to say something important next.


    "Mr. Wu, please have a seat."


    The young girl who was sitting next to Xu Wuyue stood up and brought a chair for Wu Mo.


    "Oh, thank you!"


    Wu Mo was startled, but he promptly reacted.


    Right after he thanked the young girl, he sat down and prepared to listen to what Academician Xu had to say.


    "We called you over so early in the morning to discuss the details of the exchange conference with you." Xu Wuyue looked at his notes and spoke seriously.


    "The conference will be held at 10.00 am the day after tomorrow. However, due to the distance between White River and Red Heart, you''ll have to set off tomorrow morning. You''ll take the hyperloop car and arrive at the Red Heart province at around 8.00 pm.


    "The federal government has full authority to host the Annual cksmith Exchange Conference every year. So, when all of you arrive in the Red Heart province, amissioner from the federal government will guide you ordingly."


    Wu Mo nodded earnestly.


    However, he quickly caught on to something Academician Xu said, and he subconsciously repeated, "All of us? Academician Xu, you''re saying that someone else ising with me to the Red Heart province?"


    "Hehe, of course."<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Professor Tan immediately smiled and said, "Although it''s very difficult to obtain the qualifications to participate in the conference, White River has many talented individuals. Every year, at least three young cksmiths meet the requirements.


    "And this year, a total of five cksmiths have met the requirements to attend the conference in Red Heart," Professor Tan said proudly.


    "I didn''t mean it that way. I just never thought that we would all be traveling to the Red Heart province together." Wu Mo waved his hand and quickly exined.


    "It''s fine. It''s because you didn''t know that we called you over to exin these things to you before you left."


    Old Wen spoke slowly and helped Wu Mo out of the situation.


    "Oh... I understand."


    Wu Mo nodded and remained in his seat obediently, no longer speaking.


    He did not know anything about the exchange conference. If he spoke rashly, he would only make more mistakes.


    Right then, the young girl next to Academician Xu could not help but chuckle when she saw how embarrassed Wu Mo seemed.


    Seeing the girl smile at him, Wu Mo subconsciously looked away and focused on theyout of the office.


    "Wanqing, don''t be rude."


    Xu Wuyue noticed that his daughter was teasing Wu Mo, and he could not help but reprimand her in a low voice.


    Then, he looked at Wu Mo and apologetically said, "I forgot to introduce you. This is my daughter, Xu Wanqing. She''s also one of the individuals invited to the conference.


    "This girl is used to being spoiled, so she has no manners. She didn''t mean to make fun of you earlier, but I should still apologize to you," Xu Wuyue said as he stood up.


    Wu Mo immediately waved his hand and exined, "It''s fine, it''s fine. I didn''t take it to heart at all. Besides, you''re my teacher and mentor. How can you apologize to me?"


    After he finished speaking, he automatically looked at the young girl next to Academician Xu, and his expression was full of surprise.


    He was not amazed by how beautiful the girl was but by the fact that she only seemed to be in her 20s. Yet, she had met all the conditions to participate in the conference. She was clearly a girl, but the degree of hard work she had put in the field of forging was not inferior to that of any man.


    He naturally identified with another young individual who was talented and willing to work hard.


    "Hello, it''s nice to meet you."


    Wu Mo stood up and extended his hand with a smile.


    "Hello, so you''re the boy that my father always talks about¡ªthe one who''s very talented and hardworking?" Xu Wanqing graciously stretched her hand out as she tilted her head and asked curiously.


    "Um... I guess so."


    Wu Mo never thought that Academician Xu''s evaluation of him behind his back would be so strange, so he was instantly taken aback.


    He shook Xu Wanqing''s fair and delicate hand before he politely retracted his own.


    "Since you''ve been invited to participate in the conference, I''ll be looking forward to your guidance."


    "Hehe, no problem. However, if we both enter the top 10, I won''t go easy on you while wepete for the championship." Xu Wanqing raised her chin and said with confidence.


    "Alright... Alright."


    Wu Mo had originally thought that Xu Wanqing would share some strategies on participating in the exchange conference. Unexpectedly, this little girl already had thoughts about winning the championship before she even participated in it.


    He did not know whether tough or cry in response.

 Chapter 387 Escorts For The Entire Journey

    Nevertheless, Wu Mo felt that this conference would be very exciting.


    "Wanqing, you need to be more humble. No one from the White River province has ever ced in the top five.


    "You''ll already bring honor to the White River province if you enter the top 10. You think it''s that easy to be in first ce?"


    Academician Xu immediately shook his head and said helplessly.


    His daughter was extremely talented in forging, and she had always been willing to put in effort to learn.


    However, she had a bad habit of being arrogant, and she always felt that she was unrivaled among the younger generation of cksmiths in White River.


    Ever since she secured a ce in the exchange conference, she had imed more than once that she would win.


    However, the cksmiths of the younger generation who had been invited by the federation were all outstanding.


    It was basically impossible to surpass everyone when there was such fiercepetition.


    Xu Wuyue was satisfied with being in the top 10. However, his daughter had never experienced any setbacks from a young age. He was worried that she would have a mental breakdown under such great pressure. Her results might be mediocre as a result, and she would be eliminated early.


    Wu Mo, on the other hand, was a little more mature and skilled. Therefore, if any of the chosen cksmiths from White River could enter the top 10, he felt that it would most likely be Wu Mo.


    "Sigh, how would you know if you never tried? Father, I haven''t even gone there yet and you''ve already poured cold water on me. Don''t you have any faith in me?"


    Xu Wanqing was a little displeased about being reprimanded by her father in public, and she immediately spoke in a coquettish tone.


    "Ahem, let''s put this behind us. Let''s focus on the main point. Tell Wu Mo what we should pay attention to during the exchange conference.


    Old Wen tapped his walking stick on the ground and put the conversation back on track.


    Hearing this, Xu Wanqing was like a deted ball, and she returned to her seat in silence.


    Xu Wuyue could not help but smile when he saw how embarrassed his daughter was. However, he eventually stopped smiling due to his daughter''s slightly reproachful gaze.


    "The Military Department and even the federal government ce great importance on this conference. Hence, cultivators will send off each participating cksmith.


    "This time, the cultivators who are responsible for escorting the five cksmiths to the Red Heart province are Bald Eagle, Lone Wolf, Zhangsun Qian, Guan Hu, and Wen Yuan. The five of them have peak six-star strength, so you don''t have to worry about safety."


    Old Wen''s beard twitched slightly as he exined the arrangements for this trip.


    Wu Mo''s eyes lit up when he heard the familiar names.


    He did not expect Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf to be on the escort list. What a coincidence.


    Wu Mo raised his head to ask the three of them about the process at the conference.


    Before he could speak, Xu Wanqing, who was sitting nearby, impatiently asked, "Old Wen, I don''t know any of these people, and I''m not interested even if you tell me about them. Why don''t you tell me about the process and what I need to pay attention to?"


    "Haha, you''re quite impatient, girl."


    Professor Tan could not help butugh when he saw Xu Wanqing''s eagerness.


    She did not mind beingughed at by the professor. She snorted softly and turned her beautiful eyes to Old Wen again.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Old Wen''s tone was neither hurried nor slow as he continued.


    "The exchange conference started 45 years ago, but it has been held 43 times. Although the judging standards and procedures of each exchange conference are different, they all have the same goal. Its main purpose is to test the true standard of the younger generation of cksmiths.


    "The cksmiths can then improve their weak points based on their performance. That way, the invited cksmiths can improve their skills as soon as possible.


    Old Wen stroked his beard and looked out of the window.


    "The Annual Exchange Conference is divided into three segments. The first segment is a test of forging knowledge. The second segment is aprehensive assessment of one''s attitude, reaction, and adaptability. The final segment involves an upgrade. The federal government will carry out a one-week upgrade n for each cksmith based on their specific situation.


    "The past years have shown that every cksmith who participated in the exchange conference experienced significant improvement after leaving. Most of them were able to break through their initial rank, and some of them were even able to be respectable individuals."


    Old Wen chuckled and turned to look at Wu Mo and Xu Wanqing.


    "Of course, only the first two segments will affect the final evaluation. Once all three segments arepleted, the federation''s judges will give out a ranking reward ording to each cksmith''s performance.


    "The better you perform in the first two segments, the higher your score will be. The corresponding rewards will also be more generous. As long as you enter the top 10, the final reward will not disappoint the both of you.


    Old Wen seemed a little tired when he finished. He leaned back on the couch and closed his eyes to rest.


    Soon, the office fell into silence.


    Wu Mo and Xu Wanqing exchanged looks for a moment and had a general understanding of the exchange conference.


    ''It looks like I have to enter the top 10 if I want to surpass the peak of five stars.''


    Wu Mo secretly made up his mind. At the same time, he clenched his fists that were hidden under his sleeves.


    He had been stuck at the peak of five stars for nearly half a year. This conference was the best opportunity. If he missed it, he would find it difficult to advance again.


    From his point of view, although the judges determined the standard of each cksmith based on their performance in the first two segments, the third learning segment was equally important to Wu Mo.


    This was because he knew that the third learning segment would give him a one-to-one session with a seven-star master cksmith.


    Therefore, in those seven days, he had to ask the master cksmith as many questions as possible to gain more knowledge.


    This would be of great help in his endeavor to reach the next rank.


    "If you''re not upied with anything else, you can go ahead and start preparing. The three other cksmiths are arriving this afternoon, and you''ll move out together tomorrow morning," Professor Tan said.


    Wu Mo and Xu Wanqing did not have any other questions.


    "Alright, I''ll take my leave then."


    Wu Mo stood up, cupped his hands, and left the office first.


    Xu Wanqing looked up at her father and Old Wen, who was resting his eyes. She realized that they had other things to discuss. She immediately stood up, bowed to the three of them, and quickly left the office.


    When she stepped out of the office, she saw Wu Mo''s figure disappear around the corner of the corridor. Xu Wanqing subconsciously quickened her pace.


    She sessfully walked in before the elevator doors closed.

 Chapter 388 Being Prepared For Battle

    The elevator descended slowly. Wu Mo and Xu Wanqing looked at each other for a moment before they immediately looked away. The atmosphere seemed a little awkward.


    "Uh, I didn''t expect Academician Xu to have such an outstanding daughter. I''m really honored to have a colleague attending the exchange conference with me."


    After a while, Wu Mo broke the silence and tried to ease the awkward situation by talking.


    However, he had never been good at striking up a conversation with strangers, so he still had a reserved look.


    Xu Wanqing pursed her lips when she noticed how shy Wu Mo was. "I''m not that greatpared to you. I wouldn''t be able to develop three technological breakthrough projects in a year."


    "Ahem, I was just lucky."


    Xu Wanqing''s words made Wu Mo''s expression a little unnatural.


    He provided a quick exnation, but she narrowed her eyes into crescents, revealing a disdainful expression that said, "I don''t believe you."


    "If you don''t believe me, forget it."


    Wu Mo shrugged. After he finished speaking, he looked up at the elevator''s disy and saw the number slowly decreasing. He decided not to say anything else.


    Xu Wanqing was taken aback. "Alright, I won''t dwell on this. I''ll see how strong you are at the exchange conference the day after tomorrow."


    "Okay," Wu Mo replied politely.


    The elevator doors slowly opened with a ding, and he walked out first.


    "I''m sorry, I still have some things to do. I''ll talk to youter. See you tomorrow."


    It seemed like Xu Wanqing had something to say, but Wu Mo looked at her and quickly spoke first.


    He then waved goodbye to her and walked toward his personal vi without looking back.


    Xu Wanqing, who was standing at the entrance of the research building, stomped her feet in anger and said, "What kind of person is he? I was nning to discuss some academic matters with him before the conference.


    "I didn''t expect it to be so hard tomunicate with Wu Mo."


    Xu Wanqing scrunched her nose and left the building in a bad mood after a few words.


    Meanwhile, Wu Mo returned to his vi.


    He could not help but sigh as he looked at the withered yellow shrubs in the courtyard.


    "The standards of this exchange conference are really strict. There are as many young cksmiths in the White River province as there are hairs on an ox. Among them are plenty of aristocratic children and descendants of officials.


    "But only five people have met the requirements to participate in the conference. The difficulty is truly astonishing."


    Nevertheless, the information he had received from Academician Xu and Professor Tan about the exchange conference benefited him a lot.


    He would be setting off for the Red Heart province the next day. This was his first time going to an area outside the White River province from what he could remember. It would be a lie to say that he was not excited.


    Fortunately, he knew a few of the people tagging along.


    Since he would not be left alone in an environment surrounded by strangers, it alleviatedsome of the pressure in his heart.


    Just then, something crossed Wu Mo''s mind, and he walked into the living room.


    He sat on the couch and found afortable position.


    Soon after, he focused his mind and took out a book from the Interspatial Ring. He had exchanged his points for the book in the system''s store some time ago.


    [A Practical Guide on Tier 3 Magic Arrays]


    Wu Mo perked up when he saw the words on the blue cover, and he began to read the book carefully.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    With the help of the immersion function that the Craftsman''s Gloves provided, he got carried away as he devoted himself to the world of arrays.


    Although the exchange conference was going to start the day after tomorrow, it was always better to be prepared before a battle.


    Moreover, Wu Mo had an innate talent for learning from a young age. Even if he only had one or two days, he could still learn a lot from a book.


    Besides, the Tier 3 magic array guide in his hands covered the weakest area of his forging knowledge.


    Therefore, it was never toote for Wu Mo to start learning.


    Not long after, the one hour of immersion provided by the Craftsman''s Gloves gradually disappeared.


    Wu Mo blinked his sore eyes and leaned back on the couch with a satisfied look. He began to digest the knowledge he had learned in the past hour.


    The construction of arrays was moreplicated than the other steps, and the difficulty of constructing a high-tier array was even greater than that of a low-tier one.


    Even though Wu Mo''s theoretical knowledge was rtively solid, there were still many elements in the book that he could not fully understand.


    The Tier 3 magic array guide before him was extremely important to him.


    It was simr to half a year ago when he read the master cksmith''s notes that he had borrowed from the internal reference room every day.


    Although the long hours of working had begun to bore him, he still found the dopamine that made him happy through reading.


    Having a chance to learn something new each day was like eating a delicious meal to Wu Mo. It gave himfort.


    However, he had not been so immersed in his learning for a long time since he finished reading all the books in the internal reference room.


    Now that he was experiencing the feeling of constantly gaining new knowledge again, Wu Mo could not stop himself from feeling excited.


    "As expected of the system''s product. It''s so giving." Wu Mo closed the book and said with a smile.


    If such a book containing advanced knowledge were to be circted on the market, it would definitely be sold at a high price of tens of millions.


    After all, such advanced knowledge was something that countless cksmiths from poor families dreamed of.


    Due to the internal reference room''s existence, they could not touch the six-star rank even if they worked their entire lives.


    Things were much easier for Wu Mo, who had the system.


    As long as he was willing to study and explore new information, he would never be trapped by this problem.


    As long as Wu Mo was willing to pay a certain amount of points for it, the system could even retrieve top-secret government documents for him.


    "Alright, I''ve gained the necessary knowledge. It''s time for me to explore the real world." Rubbing his hands, Wu Mo stood up and muttered to himself expectantly.


    He closed the door and returned to his bedroom on the second floor. He was ready to enter the Divine-grade Forging Space and try to construct a Tier 3 array with the new information he had just learned.


    After an hour of reading and studying, he had already understood the construction principles of several Tier 3 arrays.


    The next step was to put them into practice and find the best method as well as achieve sess from his multiple failures.


    Therefore, Wu Mo was going to be very busy.


    Of course, the other four young cksmiths from the White River province who were going to participate in the exchange conference were not idle either.


    Xu Wanqing was also practicing non-stop in a casual dark-colored dress.


    Over in arge private forging room, she was constantly waving a ck iron hammer in her hand. As she hammered away at some materials, sparks flew everywhere and sweat scattered. It looked like she was working hard.

 Chapter 389 Participant List For The Exchange Conference

    ''Don''t worry, Father. I''ll definitely get a spot in the top 10. I''ll make sure everyone knows that your daughter''s extraordinary.''


    With that thought in mind, determination shed across Xu Wanqing''s eyes.


    The speed at which she swung the iron hammer increased even more.


    On the other side, Chen Qingbai was also in the midst of an intense and exciting preparation phase. He graduated from Qingnan Academy just like Xu Wanqing.


    Even though he was the grandson of Qingnan Academy''s principal, Chen Yuansong, the exchange conference was still extremely important to him. It was an indispensable opportunity.


    Although his grandfather was an early-stage seven-star master cksmith, Chen Qingbai had not learned much from him.


    The Chen family had always been very strict. They were only allowed to learn and obtain knowledge through normal means. The elders were never allowed to give anyone special treatment, much less spoon-feed the children information that they had note into contact with.


    Although Chen Qingbai did not quite understand the reason for his grandfather''s actions, he had never tried to break the family''s rules. He had reached the peak of five stars by relying on his own talent and learning skills.


    At this moment, Chen Qingbai was studying in the basement andpleting questions that his grandfather, Chen Yuansong, had given him.


    "Qingbai, don''t me your grandfather for being strict and unreasonable. In fact, everything he''s done has been for our own good. Once you leave your parents'' protection and enter society, I believe you''ll be grateful to your grandfather from the bottom of your heart," a strong middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes said.


    He was standing at the entrance of the basement, and he was d in ck.


    "Hmph, I''ll see for myself with my eyes. I don''t need you to pretend to be earnest and persuade me."


    Chen Qingbai put down his casting pen and red at the middle-aged man who was guarding the basement door.


    The exchange conference would take ce on the morning of the day after tomorrow. There was not much time to prepare.


    However, his grandfather had given him an impossible task at such an important juncture. The old man was deliberately making things difficult for him.


    Chen Qingbai''s eyes turned slightly as he picked up the casting pen again. With his unyielding character, he tried to draw another Legendary-grade equipment blueprint.


    ''Sigh, you still don''t understand your grandfather''s good intentions. You''ll understand in the future.''


    The middle-aged man sighed internally. He was tactful enough to not express it out loud, for fear of angering Chen Qingbai again.


    After all, he was Chen Yuansong''s grandson. If Chen Qingbai did not make a name for himself at the conference, he would not be able to do anything.


    Chen Yuansong''s reputation in the field of forging would also be damaged since he was one of the few seven-star cksmiths in the White River province.


    If even his grandson, Chen Qingbai, could not be among the top 10, then no one in the entire White River province would be able to do so.


    It was precisely because Chen Qingbai''s results would affect the entire Chen family''s reputation that Chen Yuansong had asked Qingnan Academy''s head of security to supervise him.


    Although it was not difficult to monitor Chen Qingbai, the young man probably did not see him in a good light.


    Shaking his head helplessly, the middle-aged man looked at Chen Qingbai, who was concentrating on drawing the blueprint. He did not say anything and continued to do his job.


    ...


    Two other young cksmiths from White River State who had been invited were in a simr situation as the previous few. They were all in a state of desperate learning.


    Their strength was equal, with both being at the peak of the five-star rank. At the same time, they were looking forward to an opportunity to leap into the six-star rank during the conference.


    They believed that only by truly stepping into the six-star rank would they have reached a higher level in the field of forging.


    For one, to support a family, seek a management position in a well-knownpany, or even be an official in the military, a person''s strength had to be at six stars.


    Powerful families or institutions would only value those in this rank.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    From then on, they would transcend ss and be true superiors.


    When the time came, even six-star cultivators would have to treat them with great respect and as honored guests.


    The state they were in would fight to give them all kinds of benefits.


    Therefore, a cksmith strived their whole life to reach the six-star rank.


    As long as they sessfully did that, they would be able to reap both power and beauty. Their lives would beplete from then on.


    However, if they failed, the big shots would only see them as workers with good forging skills although they were at the peak of five stars.


    Even if they were capable, they could only reach the level of petty bourgeoisie at best. It would be impossible to cross ranks.


    Therefore, if cksmiths from humble families wanted to change their fate or their entire family''s fate, the only feasible path was to attain the six-star rank.


    However, without enough opportunities, talent, and learning ability, it was easier said than done.


    Based on the current distribution of cksmiths in White River, the number of cksmiths who had reached six stars was not even one in ten thousand.


    Basically, the path to impressive power was not easy.


    The exchange conference was also precious because it was extremely difficult to reach the six-star rank.


    The rewards for those in the top 10 were extremely generous, and it would be incredibly beneficial to the improvement of the cksmiths'' strength.


    After all, with the help of various precious materials and potions, even a pig could stand up and draw a few designs, more sothose young and intelligent cksmiths.


    It was also because of this that many cksmiths were willing to call the Annual Exchange Conference the Dragon Gate meet.


    As long as they seized the opportunity and crossed the <anno data-annotation-id="9d82dffd-6d38-ec2f-9ceb-f625e8329afe">Dragon Gate</anno>, they could change their fate.


    As the exchange conference got closer and closer, a tense atmosphere spread across the entire Nine Provinces.


    Even the general public was paying great attention to the conference. All the social media sites and front page headlines were dominated by articles rted to the conference.


    At eight o''clock that night, the federal government revealed the list of participants for the conference.


    Everyone in the Nine Provinces learned the names of the 80 young cksmiths who had been invited to the exchange conference.


    Shortly after the news was released, the servers of several top social media sites crashed.


    Theizens who could not suppress their excitement had nowhere to go. In the end, they all joined the People''s Network, which had been built by the military.


    A heated discussion surrounding the list of participants began.


    "The Annual cksmith Exchange Conference will begin the day after tomorrow in the morning. I''m really looking forward to seeing how the young cksmiths from our province do!"


    "The name list is out, and the time has been decided. Let''s wait and see."


    "Compared to the two or three individuals in previous years, five people from the White River province have met the standards this year. It''s truly worth celebrating."


    "Sigh, I really hope that we''ll be able to see those from our province in the top 10 this year."


    The number ofments under the list of participants quickly increased on the forum.

 Chapter 390 A Sleepless Night

    The new messages that appeared after each refresh showed that everyone was full of anticipation for this year''s conference.


    At the same time, the names of the five people from White River were known to most people in one night.


    They became a symbol of hope that many people talked about!


    This was because White River''s current overall strength was too low in the Nine Provinces, and very few people from White River had made the top 10 list in the past years.


    Therefore, the citizens of White River were eager to see someone from their province appear in the top 10 during the conference!


    This was destined to be a sleepless night for some. Whether it was ordinary folks who were worried about the conference or the government officials of various provinces, they were all filled with anticipation and excitement.


    Even Wu Mo, who had always been calm and indifferent to fame and fortune, could not sleep as hey on the bed.


    They would be leaving for the Red Heart province tomorrow, and they would officially participate in the exchange conference the day after.


    To him, the exchange conference was like a fork in his life. A good oue and a bad one represented different paths.


    His cement in the top 10 during the final judging of the conference would have a huge impact on his future development.


    Compared to the conference that was filled with geniuses, the Divine Arms Academy''s graduation assessment a year ago seemed to be of little importance.


    "Forget it, I don''t want to think about it too much. As long as I try my best, I shouldn''t have many regrets regardless of the end result."


    He turned over on his bed. Looking at the silver moonlight shining in through the gap in the curtain, he gradually forgot about his anxiety.


    When he was forging Thor''s hammer, he had to face the pressure of dropping out of school.


    When he was developing the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear some time ago, he faced the pressure of a fleeting opportunity.


    Ever since he left school, he had more or less faced various kinds of pressure every day.


    His heart had been trained to be much tougher.


    Even if the road was filled with difficulties, he could still protect his heart and take each step.


    Wu Mo slowly closed his eyes as he rxed his mind. Feeling the fatigueing from all directions, he soon fell into a deep sleep.


    It was alreadyte at night, but many people in the Research Department still had their tired eyes open. They were trying their best to work hard.


    The night was silent, but the lights from the research building near the vi constantly dispelled the surrounding darkness.


    At this moment, Academician Xu and several other core members of the Research Department were still discussing and preparing for the exchange conference.


    The other invited cksmith, Xu Wanqing, was still practicing as well. She went through everything from drawing designs to smelting materials and strengthening.


    Xu Wanqing did not feel that it was enough even if she practiced 10 or 100 times.


    She would face genius cksmiths from Red Heart, Orange Light, and other powerful provinces at the conference.


    Those people were generally one rank higher than her, and six-star cksmiths were even moremon at the conference.


    Compared to the lucky ones who had been fed by their province''s rich resources, they were much more powerful.


    Her strength was superior to that of her peers in the White River province, but it might not be enough at the conference.


    Therefore, only by training her skills to the extreme could Xu Wanqing possibly defeat her opponent in the first two rounds.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    The gap in spirit power between the two was even.


    Therefore, three months ago, Xu Wanqing had started practicing her forging techniques and skills under her father''s guidance.


    She hoped to enter the final top 10 by taking a risk.


    However, the closer they got to the conference, the more pressure Xu Wanqing felt.


    Whether it was to bring glory to the White River province or to impress her father, she really wanted to enter the top 10.


    However, her father''s expectant gaze, the hopes of her peers, and the nurturing of the White River province made it difficult for her to breathe.


    She even felt that if she did not end up in the top 10, the sky would fall.


    Her hand shook slightly as she held the casting pen. Xu Wanqing gritted her teeth, and her eyes gradually trembled.


    "There are less than two days left. All my efforts and hard work have been worth it!"


    Xu Wanqing kept encouraging herself in her heart. She still wanted to do something and continue to practice.


    But suddenly, a cough came from the door, and the courage that she had mustered up with great difficulty crumbled again.


    She subconsciously turned around and saw her father standing outside the private forging room''s half-closed door.


    Under the moonlight, her father''s mottled hair looked even more frosty, like he was an old man in his twilight years. His face had lost some of the seriousness and solemnity he had during the day.


    "Father, it''s sote, why aren''t you asleep yet?"


    Xu Wanqing''s eyes were evasive. She was afraid that her father would be worried, so she immediately made up an excuse, "I... I''m here to check my equipment for thepetition. I''m going to sleep soon."


    His daughter''s obviouslyme excuse did not escape his eyes.


    He slowly pushed the door open and walked in. With a kind face, he patted his daughter''s shoulder and said in a gentle voice, "Wanqing, don''t pressure yourself too much. Although I want you to enter the top 10, do you think I''ll put the me of you even if youe inst?


    "I''ve always told you that as long as you work hard, everything will be worth it. Compared to the young cksmiths from the stronger provinces, the people from the White River province are already at a disadvantage. It won''t be a surprise if we don''t enter the top 10. It''s not a problem of your skills!"


    She listened to her father''s sincere words and looked at his profound eyes that were filled with heartache.


    Xu Wanqing''s heart seemed to released a heavy burden, and she suddenly felt a lot more rxed.


    "I''m already a grownup, but I''m still making you worry about me every day. I''m such a horrible daughter."


    She appeared a little depressed, but the obsession to be in the top 10 had left her heart.


    Just as her father had said, even if she was rankedst on the list, his love for her would never fade.


    The White River province''s Military Department had been training her. Even if she did not live up to their expectations and disappointed her peers, as long as she worked hard, everything would be fine.


    "Hehe, in my eyes, no matter how old you are and how great your achievements are, you''re still a child. Alright, it''s already sote, and it''s getting cold. You should rest early."


    Xu Wuyue heaved a sigh of relief when he saw his daughter''s relieved expression.


    He gave her a reminder with a doting expression and even smiled as he touched his daughter''s nose.


    "I know, Father. I didn''t expect you to be up sote either. I guess you''re still busypleting tasks from your higher-ups."

 Chapter 391 Focal Point

    Xu Wanqing pursed her lips and raised her head with concern.


    Xu Wuyue smiled and nodded. "Yes, they''ve been issuing more urgent tasks thesest two days. I need toplete them before the conference starts, and I''m almost done."


    Xu Wanqing nodded. Not wanting to worry her father, she immediately turned off the lights in the private forging room and walked out the door with her father. Soon after, she returned to her dorm.


    The night was dark, and the entire Fifth Research Department fell into silence.


    After a long time, light began to gradually seep into the ck and unchanging sky.


    It was not until the first ray of light appeared on the horizon that everyone started to wake up.


    Wu Mo woke up at 7.30 am as usual.


    Since he was traveling to Red Heart to participate in the exchange conference today, he had to pack up the items required for his registration before 9.00 am and rush to the Fifth Research Department''s gate at around 9.30 am.


    Wu Mo had carefully chosen a set of clothes that looked good but also kept him warm. It was a step away from his usual athletic style.


    He wore a dark gray mid-length woolen coat with a linen turtleneck sweater inside and picked out a pair of straight trousers with velvet lining. He then paired the ensemble with grayish-white sneakers.


    After putting on his new clothes, Wu Mo walked to the mirror and admired himself for a while.Finding no problems with his outfit, he prepared to visit the cafeteria for breakfast.


    The cksmiths who had been invited to the conference needed to prepare their own forging equipment, including casting paper and pen as well as their own furnace.


    Although Wu Mo did not prepare anything in advance, his Interspatial Ring was already like a treasure chest. It contained all the resources he had umted over the past year.


    Among them were high-quality casting paper and brushes, along with a high-quality furnace with ten fire outlets.


    His equipment might not be as good as the equipment of others, but Premium-grade equipment was enough for him to disy his full strength.


    Of course, Epic-grade equipment provided more benefits, such as increased forging speed and other effects.


    However, there was a saying that poor students often had more stationery than they needed, so he did not have any additional forging equipment.


    Wu Mo was still eating breakfast in the cafeteria when he received a message from Academician Xu at 8.30 am.


    Wu Mo knew that Academician Xu must have received a mission from his superiors. He had to deliver the five young cksmiths from White River to Red heart safely.


    As such, Academician Xu was very busy during this period of time and extremely focused on the exchange conference.


    [Okay, Academician Xu, I''ll be there soon.]


    After he replied to the message, Wu Mo quickly finished the rest of the food in his bowl and got up to pay the bill.


    On the other side, the five cultivators responsible for escorting the cksmiths had also arrived.


    Two hours ago, their military higher-ups had already blocked off some of the roads in White River province.


    That would prevent any mishaps from happening on this journey.


    Relevant security personnel were also being deployed, and City Defense troops in uniform could be seen everywhere on the road.


    "It''s really lively today. This is my first time seeing so many people from the City Defense Army." Zhangsun Long looked out of the window curiously.


    "The higher-ups in the Military Department will definitely set up defenses in advance. After all, the exchange event is the focus of the entire country. How can the White River province make any mistakes at such a critical time?"


    Sitting in the back of a special military vehicle, a middle-aged man with a strong body and dark skin spoke as he nced at the surprised Zhangsun Long.


    He was Guan Hu, one of the five cultivators in charge of escorting the cksmiths. He was also known as the Tiger when it came to closebat.


    "We''re finally here. I''ve been in the car for six hours since we left the border city, Ling County."<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    The next person to speak was a man in a dark blue shirt with six full cloud patterns embroidered on the chest.


    Thetter appeared slightly helpless because he had been chosen to be one of the cultivators to escort the cksmiths.


    He had rushed over from Ling County, a city at the border of White River. After the six- to seven-hour journey, he was feeling a little numb.


    "Wen Yuan, you''re only good at long-range attacks, so why have you been chosen as one of the escorts? It''s truly puzzling." Guan Hu turned around and asked curiously as he looked at the dazed Wen Yuan.


    "How would I know what the military leaders are thinking?"


    Wen Yuan was not in a good mood at the moment, so he had no intention of exining anything. He only gave Guan Hu a curt response, which did not clear up his doubts.


    Guan Hu wanted to say something else, but Bald Eagle who was sitting in the front seat spoke first and interrupted him.


    "So what if he''s only good at long-range attacks? If you think that long-range attacks aren''t effective, we can have a friendly match."


    Guan Hu smiled awkwardly when he noticed Bald Eagle''s unfriendly gaze.


    "Hehe... I didn''t mean anything by it. I was just curious."


    He shrunk back, and a hint of fear shed in the depths of his pupils.


    Guan Hu believed that among the cultivators of the same rank in the White River province, there were no more than three people who could beat him in closebat.


    Unless there was a great difference in strength between him and his opponent, he would not be at an immediate disadvantage even if he fought cultivators in the beginning stage of seven stars.


    Since he was strong, Guan Hu always had a confident look on his face.


    However, when he faced Bald Eagle, his pride was greatly diminished.


    Everyone knew that Bald Eagle was powerful, and his long-range attacks were several times stronger than Guan Hu''s.


    Guan Hu did not even have the confidence to dodge his Magic Crystal Cannon bombardment, let alone defeat him in closebat.


    Bald Eagle embarrassed Guan Hu in front of everyone, but thetter quickly fell silent.


    The air in the military vehicle gradually became heavy.


    They traveled on the road for a few more minutes before aslightly rough voice came from the driver''s seat.


    "We''re here. Get out of the car."


    Lone Wolf stopped the car, turned off the engine, and pulled the hand brake. He then got out of the military vehicle first.


    Several military vehicles that were escorting them gradually stopped and lined up in front of the Research Department''s gate.


    It was nine in the morning.


    The entire Research Department was bustling with activity, as if it was New Year''s.


    Countless researchers stood on both sides of the cultural square as they anxiously looked out the gate.


    At the center of the cultural square, there were seven or eight core personnel of the Research Department led by Xu Wuyue.


    Standing on either side of the square were five young cksmiths who were about to head to the Red Heart province to participate in the exchange conference.


    Numerous cultivators were also guarding the Research Department''s entrance and exit, and there were dozens of patrol posts.

 Chapter 392 Set Off!

    He wanted to turn the Research Department into an impregnable military base.


    Its defense would be so tight that even a fly would fail to pass through.


    As the five cultivators arrived, the reporters who had been waiting outside the Research Department''s gate for hours immediately began to report and broadcast the entire event.


    Everyone''s eyes were focused on the gate as five neatly dressed cultivators walked into the Research Department with serious expressions.


    "They''re finally here¡­"


    On the cultural square, Chen Qingbai was standing sideways with his arms crossed. He spoke indifferently as he nced at the five people who finally appeared.


    Xu Wanqing leaned forward slightly, and her beautiful eyes filled with uncontroble excitement.


    The expressions of the other young cksmiths who were standing together also changed slightly, and their eyes were more or less filled with anticipation.


    The five cultivators who were going to escort them reached the cultural square before the many onlookers.


    "It has been a tough journey for all of you. Now that the five participating cksmiths are here, I hope that you can do your best to protect them on their journey."


    Xu Wuyue took a step forward and looked at the five individuals before him.


    Professor Tan was standing at the side, and he quickly walked up to them as well. Then, he handed the relevant approval documents to Guan Hu, who was closest to him.


    Right then, the researchers outside the cultural square were all excited.


    They looked at the five cksmiths who were about to leave for the exchange conference with envy.


    One should know that the five cultivators standing before Academician Xu were extremely famous in White River.


    They were all at the peak of six stars. Even in the vast White River province, they were still considered the best among the best.


    Normally, they either carried out secret missions issued by the military or guarded various important institutions.


    People usually had no chance of meeting even one of them, but now they could meet five top cultivators at once. How could they not be excited?


    Furthermore, these top cultivators that they never had the chance of meeting were now in charge of protecting Wu Mo, Xu Wanqing, and the other participants.


    Seeing them receive the protection of powerful cultivators from the military made the researchers extremely envious.


    It was a pity that the requirements for the conference were too high. Forget ordinary people like them, even some of the descendants of aristocratic families found it difficult to meet the standard.


    Wu Mo felt ufortable all over as he faced the crowd''s heated gaze. He just wanted this handover ceremony to end as soon as possible.


    However, some of the participants who were traveling with him did not care. A few of them even enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by thousands of people.


    At the center of the cultural square, Guan Hu carefully stored the approval documents from the General Department. Then, he cupped his hands and valiantly said, "Academician Xu, don''t worry. We will definitely send the cksmiths to the Red Heart province safely and protect them the whole way."


    Wen Yuan did not say anything, but he nodded seriously.


    The rest of them also revealed serious expressions, and the atmosphere instantly became solemn as a result.


    This trip not only carried White River''s reputation, but it also carried the hope of future progress in the forging industry.


    After all, the five cksmiths who were being escorted were the strongest among the younger generation. If their strength increased, it would have a significant impact on the development of the entire forging field.


    It was likely that they would be seven-star forging masters in a few years'' time.


    This would allow the overall strength of the White River province to rise to a higher level.


    Soon, everyone witnessed the handover ceremonye to a perfect end, while the reporters covered the event.


    They watched as the five cultivators led Wu Mo, Xu Wanqing, and the others into special military vehicles.


    Then, the three military vehicles carrying them immediately drove off as hundreds of City Defense Army troops escorted them.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Academician Xu, Professor Tan, and the others stood at the Research Department''s entrance and watched the armored vehicles leave. They appeared a little conflicted.


    "I really hope that they can all reach the six-star rank after they return." Professor Tan tightened his cor and said expectantly.


    "I hope so too. Opportunity is fleeting, and it''s up to them to grab it or not."


    Academician Xu narrowed his eyes and sighed.


    "Hehe, with Wu Mo''s skills, he should have no problem entering the top 20. He might even surprise us when the timees."


    Old Wen revealed a benevolent smile. He seemed to have high hopes for Wu Mo.


    " I think Wanqing has a higher chance of entering the top 10. Although Wu Mo has both talent and academic spirit, he has only been in the Research Department for a short period of time. He doesn''t have a strong foundation," another senior researcher provided his analysis.


    He felt that Xu Wanqing was likely the strongest among the five.


    "Alright¡­ Although our preparations for the exchange conference havee to an end, there are still many things waiting for us in the Research Department. Let''s go inside first."


    Academician Xu smiled and shook his head as he ended their conversation prematurely.


    Bracing cold winds, the few of them walked back.


    Meanwhile, the closed roads nearby were gradually opening up, and the entire city slowly began to operate as normal again.


    Many staff members in the Research Department returned to their posts as well.


    The previous handover ceremony had undoubtedly given everyone a shot in the arm.


    Everyone was now filled with enthusiasm for work.


    Compared to the excited researchers who were in a hurry, Zhou Ning seemed out of ce as she stood in front of a window on the sixth floor.


    "It looks like I was right." Zhou Ning stood by the window and muttered to herself with a smile.


    Earlier, she had watched the entire handover ceremony and spotted a few high-level cultivators whom she would not normallye into contact with.


    However, the ones that stirred her heart the most were the young cksmiths who were participating in the exchange conference.


    In other words, it was Wu Mo''s fast growth that surprised her.


    Half a year ago, Wu Mo was still a newbie who would get lost in the Research Department.


    At that time, he was not as confident as he was now. He had to think twice before epting amission.


    However, in the past half a year, Zhou Ning had watched Wu Mo''s rank rise from first-ss private to second lieutenant, and then to major.


    She also watched as he received the Model Scientific Research medal.


    It felt as if Wu Mo had been reborn in thest six months.


    His entire mental state was different, but the biggest improvement was in his strength.


    The current Wu Mo had already grown to a point where she could only look up to him.


    This was exactly what she foresaw during her first meeting with Wu Mo.


    When she firstmissioned Wu Mo, she already sensed that he was different from the other new researchers.


    Back then, she thought that maybe he would be a master cksmith like Academician Xu in the future.


    Unbeknownst to Zhou Ning, Wu Mo would fulfill half of her conjecture in just half a year.

 Chapter 393 Super Loop Operation Center

    With the speed of his growth, it might only take Wu Mo 10 years to be a master cksmith whom countless people admired.


    Zhou Ning took a deep breath as she looked at the dead leaves on the road below.


    "Keep it up, and don''t ever stop. White River''s prosperity depends on young people as strong as you."


    ...


    Twenty minutester, the military vehicle carrying Wu Mo and Xu Wanqing moved onto a wider road.


    The forks around the main road were surrounded by railings that acted as a cordon.


    The city center, which used to be very lively, was now cold and quiet as if it was no man''snd.


    Members of the Special Forces were piloting helicopters in the sky above to patrol the road conditions in advance.


    "What a huge formation. Those city guards are too strong. They managed to evacuate the city center to the point that it''s be so deserted."


    Bald Eagle looked at the bleak scenery outside the window while he was in the passenger seat. He could not help but praise the guards.


    "Ha, that''s for sure. After all, this is the annual conference. Even if they face an emergency, they have to make way for us."


    Lone Wolf smiled, revealing his white teeth.


    "We''ve been on the road for so long. We should be near the Super Loop, right?"


    Looking at the cars before them that maintained a fixed distance, Xu Wanqing frowned slightly and spoke with a worried expression.


    "Don''t worry. With us around, it won''t matter who elsees along."


    To dispel her doubts, Lone Wolf immediately responded with confidence.


    "About five more minutes." Bald Eagle looked at the GPS software in the military vehicle.


    "Ahem, about that...


    "I want to know what this Super Loop you''re talking about is."


    Wu Mo, who was sitting in the back of the military vehicle, looked at the few people who had mentioned the Super Loop with a puzzled expression.


    "What? Didn''t my father mention it to you yesterday?" Xu Wanqing was slightly surprised.


    "He did... But I was too embarrassed to ask," Wu Mo replied awkwardly.


    "Mm, that''s not surprising."


    Lone Wolf, who was driving, immediately added another jab.


    "Alright, since my father didn''t exin it clearly, then as his daughter, I''ll continue the exnation."


    Xu Wanqing was a little helpless when it came to Wu Mo''s limited information, but she still exined things for him.


    " The Super Loop is a means of transportation that will help us reach the Red Heart province. After all, the White River province is nearly 9,000 kilometers away from the Red Heart province. If we take a train or ne, we might not even be able to make it in two or three days.


    " Therefore, for convenience''s sake, the federal government negotiated with the other provinces to sign a contract and jointly fund the construction of the Super Loop.


    At this moment, Xu Wanqing was like a little teacher who taught Wu Mo dutifully.


    "The Super Loop City was built more than 30 years ago. Due to its fast speed and high safety, it has greatly reduced travel time for the two states. "


    "A journey of nine thousand kilometers will only take eight hours."


    Wu Mo listened attentively to her exnation and soon had a basic understanding of the Super Loop.


    However, Xu Wanqing''s introduction of the Super Loop truly surprised him.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    The express train would take four to five days to travel nearly 9,000 kilometers, and even a ne would not be that fast.


    Yet, the so-called Super Loop could reduce the travel time to less than eight hours.


    It was truly amazing.


    However, what puzzled him was that if the Super Loop was so convenient, why was White River''s export economy so sluggish?


    Of course, it was not information that he had deliberately looked up. It was a fact that every citizen of the White River province could see.


    Although the White River province''s overall strength and natural resources were lower than that of the other regions, it also had rare specialties that other provincescked.


    Shale gas, sealwort stone, and so on were resources that other provinces did not have.


    Under normal circumstances, it was entirely possible to export a portion to other provinces.


    However, the reality was, the proportion of White River economy in the annual financial report was less than 1%.


    Even if anything was exported, it would only be food and daily necessities.


    The things that Xu Wanqing introduced did not match what Wu Mo knew, hence he had doubts.


    Curious, Wu Mo asked without hesitation, "If the Super Loop is really as you''ve described, then why doesn''t the White River province''s government make use of its convenience to transport specialties such as the Shale Yellow Jade Stone to other provinces to increase exports?"


    Looking at Wu Mo''s curious expression and naivety, Xu Wanqing could not help butugh.


    "Hehe, it''s not that easy."


    " The construction of the Super Loop consumed a lot of manpower and financial resources from two provinces. The daily operation, loss, and maintenance don''t amount to small figures either. If it''s really open to the public for use, I''m afraid that the maintenance fees will be a ck hole that cannot be filled."


    Hearing this, Bald Eagle immediately added, "Ms. Wanqing is right. It''s precisely because of the high maintenance cost that the Super Loop has always been used by military personnel, and it can only be used when there is an important event.


    "For example, the Super Loop will only be activated when the generals from the theater of operations travel to other provinces for diplomacy, negotiations, or the annual exchange conference."


    Hearing their detailed exnations, Wu Mo finally understood.


    Although he felt a little regretful that the Super Loop''s construction could not help the development of White River''s economy, its existence still held an extremely important strategic significance.


    This would not only allow the forces of the Nine Provinces to be united and repel the powerful ferocious beasts together, but it would also help facilitate the diplomacy of the various regions in the Nine Provinces.


    "We''ve arrived at the Super Loop Operation Center," Lone Wolf suddenly said.


    He had been sitting in the driver''s seat for a long time.


    When Wu Mo heard what Lone Wolf said, he subconsciously looked out the window.


    Cold wind was blowing outside, but there was also a spacious and t square paved with gray tiles.


    A series of buildings that looked like sand dunes with smooth surfaces were at its center.


    It was the Super Loop Operation Center that Lone Wolf had mentioned.


    From afar, the building gave everyone a sense of mystery as it resembled a sand dune.


    Soon, the three military vehicles arrived at the operation center. The City Defense Army was responsible for escorting them, so the troops stood at the edge of the square and watched them from afar.


    When the vehicles reached the building, Wu Mo was immediately amazed by its architectural style and size.


    The operation center was made up of five buildings, and the style of each building was simr. The buildings were only about six meters tall, but they were very wide and had arge internal area.


    Four of the sand dune buildings were located in the north, south, east, and west, vaguely protecting the fifth building at the center.


    That was where the Super Loop was deployed and where everyone was about to go.

 Chapter 394 The Peak Of Modern Technology

    However, because the Super Loop was an important strategic infrastructure in the White River province, the security there was extremely tight.


    The cultivators who escorted the cksmiths were famous and known to the public. Even so, when everyone was ready to pass the security check and enter the operation and maintenance center, they still could not skip theplicated and cumbersome inspection procedures.


    Not only were they searched, but their equipment and items were also examined.


    After the security personnel confirmed that there was no problem with the five of them and that they did not carry any equipment that posed a threat to the Super Loop, they finally opened the gate for them to enter.


    "Take care of your belongings. We have to set off soon."


    Guan Hu was the first to put on his equipment. Then, he immediately urged the rest of them.


    Before long, everyone was ready to embark again.


    They walked through the corridor and pushed open the building''s ss door.


    The building looked like a sand dune on the outside, but its interior design was grand and magnificent.


    High-tech equipment could be seen everywhere in the hall. There were unmanned automatic cleaning devices. There were also air intake grizzles on the surrounding walls that could be adjusted ording to the light intensity and wind direction.


    All kinds of smart devices not only achieved constant temperature and humidity inside the building but also made every area bright as new.


    The visual impact of being in a sea of advanced technology made the young cksmiths open their mouths slightly.


    These young cksmiths were different from the five experienced cultivators who had seen many rare, as well as powerful equipment, and been to many ces with good scenery.


    However, their understanding of modern technology was far from enough.


    Before they entered the operation and maintenance center, they did not realize that the modern technology in the White River province had developed to such a stage.


    Of course, if Wu Mo had not been to the armory, he would have been as shocked as the others when he saw the visually impactful scene.


    "I thought that in this era of spirit energy recuperation, modern technology had lost itspetitiveness and be a product abandoned by the times.


    "I didn''t expect modern technology to still flourish in ces we don''t see, and it has already prospered to such an extent."


    Chen Qingbai''s face was filled with disbelief as he muttered to himself.


    It was obvious that the microcosm of modern technology before him had broken the three views he had formed over the years, and it shocked him.


    Although Xu Wanqing, Gan Yun, and Liu Ze were slightly better off than Chen Qingbai, they still had an incredulous look on their faces.


    Of course, even they rarely saw something so grand.


    "There''s no need to be excited now. When you see the Super Loop, you''ll be even more impressed."


    Zhangsun Long, who was walking in front of them, immediately gave them a heads-up when he saw the shocked expressions on their faces.


    He just wanted to make sure that they did not be crippled with shock when they saw the Super Loopter.


    Hearing Zhangsun Long''s reminder, the young cksmiths immediately realized that they had lost theirposure.


    Xu Wanqing lowered her head shyly.


    Gan Yun and Liu Ze smiled eagerly and did not make any attempt to hide how they felt.


    After Chen Qingbai snapped out of it, his face turned slightly red. He hurriedly looked to his left and right as he pretended not to care.


    In the operation and maintenance center, several staff members who were responsible for guiding them immediately brought them to the fifth building at the center.


    They passed through a wide gray brick square, and Wu Mo was surprised when he approached the fifth building.


    It was surrounded by several armored vehicles and anti-air turrets.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    The ce looked entirely like a military base that could not be invaded by a flood.


    The rumbling of armored vehicles patrolling sounded in their ears, but the fully armed cultivators who walked in unison made them feel extremely safe.


    When they arrived at the entrance of the fifth building, the staff in charge of docking and the guards gave them a briefing.


    After everyone''s work ID and invitation certificates were checked, the 10-person team sessfully walked in.


    The fifth building''s decor was simr to that of the other buildings. It was also bright and full of technology.


    What made it different was the people who wereing and going. They were all researchers inb coats.


    Among them were some old men with gray hair and patchy sideburns.


    A few of the old men also had sunken eyes and wrinkled faces. Just looking at them made one''s heart ache.


    Although they looked weak, there seemed to be ayer of invisible force field around their bodies. Wu Mo could not even detect if they had spirit power.


    There could only be two reasons for this.


    The first possibility was that the person was just an ordinary old man. He was not a cksmith, and he did not have spirit power.


    The second possibility was that the person''s spirit power far surpassed Wu Mo''s. Not only could he conceal his aura, but he could also block any attempts from others to detect his aura.


    If they were on the streets, Wu Mo might have believed the first scenario. However, this was the Super Loop Operation Center, and they were in the fifth building, which was the core.


    Therefore, even if he used his toes to think, Wu Mo knew that these elders'' were definitely above the seven-star rank.


    "The fact that the Super Loop can travel thousands of kilometers in such a short period of time has to be due to the use of spirit energy."


    After careful observation, Wu Mo gained a certain understanding of the ce.


    The group followed the footsteps of the staff. After crossing a long corridor and passing dozens of people, they finally arrived at the core of the entire building.


    "Everyone, please cooperate and enter your information in the smart identification device before the door."


    A well-dressed, educated female staff member exined that after everyone entered their information, they could enter the Super Loop deployment site.


    "I understand, I understand. Everyone, stop wasting time. Go ahead and enter your information," Guan Hu immediately said following the staff''s exnation.


    Then, he took the lead to approach the identification device and operated it ording to the instructions.


    "Guest Guan Hu''s information has been entered. Fingerprint and iris matches are 100%."


    Soon, a mechanical voice rang out from the identification device beside the door.


    At the same time, the thick explosion-proof doors opened from both sides made a rumbling sound.


    Guan Hu walked in with a rxed expression as if he was very familiar with the ce.


    After that, Wen Yuan, Zhangsun Long, Bald Eagle, and Lone Wolf sessfully entered their information and walked in.


    "You''re actually using a device to identify me. Are you worried that someone might pretend to be me?"


    Looking at the identification device in front of him, Chen Qingbai snorted coldly as if he was not satisfied with the hospitality of the Super Loop''s staff.


    The others looked at Chen Qingbai in surprise but did not say anything.


    Seeing that no one was going up, Wu Mo immediately went up to the identification device.

 Chapter 395 Professor Fang

    He extended his palm and rolled his eyes a few times.


    Before long, the device disyed its results.


    "Visitor Wu Mo''s information has been entered. Fingerprint and iris matches are 100%."


    Following a mechanical sound, Wu Mo heard a click, and the explosion-proof door before him opened.


    "Come with me," he said subconsciously and walked in without hesitation.


    The explosion-proof door quickly closed behind him. Due to the dim light ahead, it took Wu Mo a while to get used to his surroundings and see what was in front of him clearly.


    A stone pir that was several meters in diameter and more than 10 meters tall appeared before him.


    There were spiral stairs winding around the stone pir.


    The walls of the fourth central building were made ofpressed earth, which was extremely sturdy against all kinds of explosive shock waves.


    ''Looks like the Super Loop is down there.''


    Hearing some gradually disappearing footsteps, Wu Mo looked a little excited and immediately walked downstairs.


    He had only taken a few steps when the explosion-proof door behind him opened again.


    The sudden appearance of the light made Wu Mo subconsciously narrow his eyes.


    Right then, he saw that many photos of old people were hanging on thepressed earth walls around him. The old people in the photos were all in high spirits, and many shiny medals were pinned on the chest of their uniforms.


    Obviously, these old men who were supposed to be enjoying their old age were the first batch of cksmiths who had developed the Super Loop.


    It was clear from the weathered stone steps alone.


    Although the Super Loop operation and maintenance center was decorated in a technological style, one could clearly feel that it was rather old and simple.


    The staff there probably did not renovate the ce because they wanted everyone who used the Super Loop to remember the first generation of developers.


    After all, it had always been a fine tradition of the Nine Provinces to not forget the people who had dug the well.


    Wu Mo looked at the old men with respect, then quickened his pace down the spiral stairs.


    After walking in the dark spiral staircase area for more than 10 seconds, he saw light at the bottom. Guan Hu, Lone Wolf, and the other cultivators who had entered earlier were standing in front of the door that projected the light. They seemed to be talking to the staff inside.


    "I didn''t expect there to be something else underneath the central building. Such a huge nuclear defense fortification must have consumed the efforts of many people!"


    Looking at the semi-circr military base beyond the gate, Guan Hu sighed internally and revealed a shocked expression.


    Disyed before everyone was the Super Loop Research and Development Base, which had been secretly built by the military 30 years ago.


    The underground base covered an area of about 10,000 square meters, and its width was equivalent to the size of 1.5 football fields. Anyone besides a staff member who worked there all year round would not be able to find the exit in a short period of time.


    The underground fortifications included caverns, roads, pilot tunnels, branch tunnels, and other areas. There was a central control room, an operation and maintenance hall, a dispatch room, and so on.


    Back then, to ensure the normal development of the Super Loop, many safety measures were taken in its construction.


    They set up a water diversion tunnel, instrument testing site, exhaust air filtering system, and etc. to ensure the safety of the ce as much as possible.


    In addition to the signal blockage and the existence of the underground power nt, no one knew that the Super Loop''s top secret research and development n was being carried out there in silence. The higher-ups in the military and the workers involved in the construction were the only exceptions.


    Looking at the grand scene before him, as well as the cutting-edge technology and core equipment that was kept from the public, Wu Mo took a deep breath.


    The others who rushed over from behind had been discussing whether it was reasonable to install an identification instrument at the entrance of the structure.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Chen Qingbai''s voice was the most prominent.


    However, once the young cksmiths entered the door, their gazes were immediately attracted by the grand scene.


    They had originally thought that the underground operation site was only about 1,000 square meters and was just a building simr to a bomb shelter.


    They never thought that the underground structure would take up such arge area that they could not see the end of it.


    The top view of the underground fortifications next to the gate was like a spider web, covering tens of thousands of square meters!


    "Gasp¡­The scale of this Super Loop operation base is actually so huge!"


    Xu Wanqing''s eyes widened in shock.


    Chen Qingbai was standing nearby, and his face turned red as if he could not digest the information he had received.


    Gan Yun and Liu Ze, who were walking at the back, were not as surprised as Xu Wanqing, but they were also speechless for a moment.


    They just looked at everything in front of them with a dazed expression.


    "After so many years, I didn''t think that this underground fortification would still be so magnificent. It seems that you guys have put in a lot of effort to maintain this ce!"


    Guan Hu looked around and praised.


    "To be able to amodate so many people and secretly transport the daily supplies and materials on top of maintaining the anti-nuclear and anti-shock properties, I have to say that the skills of those forging masters are truly admirable!"


    Wen Yuan ced his hands behind his back and appeared somewhat moved.


    The White River province''s forging technology and modern science were clearly more advanced now, but after so many years, no organization had yet to build a base withprehensive features that surpassed the Super Loop Research and Development Base.


    Just from this point alone, one could see the reason why White River''s international ranking had been continuously falling over the past few decades.


    Conditions were clearly better, and people were more open.


    However, the White River province had lost master cksmiths who were willing to sacrifice their lives for the country and constantly improve their abilities like decades ago.


    "Thank you for your praise. This Super Loop underground structure contains the painstaking efforts of several dozen master cksmiths. It also represents the development of the country. We''re not doing anything tooplex. "


    Just as everyone was immersed in the history of the city, a handsome middle-aged man in a gray uniform walked out of the crowd.


    "Professor Fang!"


    "Professor Fang, you''re here!"


    After the middle-aged man appeared, the staff members who were originally serving Wu Mo and the others immediately retreated to the side and greeted him with longing expressions.


    "Yes, today is the day of the Super Loop''sunch. As the head of operations, how can I not be there? " the man called Professor Fang said with a smile.


    Then he instantly looked at the young cksmiths standing behind the cultivators, and his expression immediately changed.


    "It looks like the cksmiths invited to the exchange conference this year are all very skilled."


    He swept his gaze across the few of them and spoke with a smile.


    Hearing Professor Fang''s words, Wu Mo raised his eyebrows and looked a little surprised.


    What surprised him was that Professor Fang could sense their approximate strength with just a nce.


    However, what surprised him even more was that in such an important organization like the Super Loop, the head was actually a man who seemed to be in his 40s.

 Chapter 396 Arriving At The Central Plains

    Wu Mo was quite optimistic about this top-secret project not because it was fast but because it was safe enough.


    After all, it was built underground, so it was quite difficult to destroy it.


    However, safety was rtive.


    On the battlefield of the Ten Thousand Races, many races could move underground. However, with the defense line before them, non-humans who were adept at underground attacks would not approach so easily.


    Therefore, it seemed that the safety factor of their trip just increased.


    Even so, Wu Mo did not have any intention of letting down his guard. He was not impatient at all when it came to the strict inspection process there. He gave his full cooperation andpleted the inspection.


    At the same time, his mind was preupied with other thoughts. ''If I were the enemy or a foreign tribesmen, what would I do to ruin the conference?''


    He frowned slightly, and no less than three or four methods of attack instantly appeared in his mind. They were all quite feasible.


    The non-humans had always held the strategic advantage on the battlefield of Ten Thousand Races. As long as they did not provoke the humans, the humans would not provoke or attack them either.


    Under these circumstances, many humans living in extreme poverty would often lose hope or simply join the foreign races in despair. It was nothing new.


    The lower-ss civilians of other nations beyond the Nine Provinces were the most active. There were hundreds ofrge and small rebel organizations that had been feeding off human society like maggots attached to bones.


    The Nine Provinces might be better, but it was not by arge margin.


    Wu Mo still remembered his first encounter in school. It seemed like he never suffered any unfair treatment, but as a cksmith, even a momentary loss of strength could have put him in debt and danger.


    This showed that even though the Nine Provinces had the best and safest environment, it was not as stable and harmonious as it appeared. It would be no surprise if there was a hidden rebellion.


    If the non-humans managed to mobilize these people, they might not be able to enter the Super Loop. However, there would be openings at the exit, their hotel, and the path leading to the conference''s venue.


    If he were in their ce, it would be easy to find an opportunity to attack with help from spies.


    Nevertheless, the thought did not fill his eyes with fear. In fact, there was even a hint of anticipation.


    He naturally could not forge any heaven-defying equipment in just two short days, but he had no trouble equipping himself.


    The extraordinary system of this world relied on the equipment that was forged to absorb and release energy.


    Humans'' use of spirit energy was just a transit, and how one effectively used spirit energy during the transit process made a difference. The higher the efficiency, the stronger it would be.


    Therefore, the equipment that Wu Mo had forged for himself was barely Tier 3, let alone Tier 5. The materials used were not expensive, but he was confident that their power would undoubtedly give the foreign races a huge surprise.


    Of course, this was under the condition that a foreign tribe would actually appear. Otherwise, it would not be useful for the time being.


    He decided that after this exchange conference ended, he would take a look at the front lines and even participate in some battles. Only then would he be able to forge better equipment.


    Not long after, everyone boarded the train to the Central ins.


    They sat in a private carriage and were escorted by the army along the way. It was indeed very safe.


    Wu Mo did not waste the eight hours he had in the vehicle. After taking a nap, he read the Tier 3 magic array guide he had bought to deepen his understanding.


    However, this time, he did not take out the book to read. Instead, he entered the Divine Forging Space through his consciousness and read it there. On the outside, it just looked like he was sleeping with his eyes closed.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Xu Wanqing attached great importance to this exchange conference, but she could not focus on work at this time. The intense excitement made it hard for her to calm down.


    She had originally wanted to chat with Wu Mo and exchange some experience in equipment crafting.


    Unexpectedly, he had fallen asleep so quickly, and it would be impolite to disturb him at this time.


    In contrast, Gan Yun, Liu Ze, and Chen Qingbai were in high spirits as they casually chatted about topics of interest.


    Xu Wanqing was puzzled. Why did it seem like Wu Mo did not get along well with others? He fell asleep the moment he sat down.


    She had no choice but to chat with the other three.


    After a while, there was nothing more to talk about, so they could only close their eyes and rest.


    Guan Hu had been following them closely and keeping an eye on their carriage. Even in the safe carriage, he remained tense and constantly paid attention to their surroundings.


    To invade the human world, the foreign races had put in a lot of effort over the years. If something went wrong during a moment of carelessness and the participants died as a result, he would not be able to atone for it with ten thousand deaths.


    Just like that, eight hours slowly passed. Wu Mo woke up just in time as the train started to slow down.


    "Huh? They''re all asleep?"


    However, just as he finished speaking, Xu Wanqing, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly opened her eyes and looked over. The resentment in her eyes made Wu Mo almost believe that he had abandoned her.


    "Ahem! Are you awake?


    "I didn''t fall asleep at all, okay?" Xu Wanqing said speechlessly. "Do you think everyone''s the same as you? Do you think everyone can sleep soundly at a time like this?"


    Wu Mo did not know how he offended her, but he shrugged and said, "It''s an eight-hour journey. Why didn''t you sleep? There''s no equipment here. It''s not like we could''ve forged things and made blueprints."


    Xu Wanqing was speechless, and she could not be bothered with him. She turned to look out the window.


    They had been flying underground earlier, so there had not been any scenery for them to see. Now that they had entered the tform, they could see some buildings outside and many busy-looking people.


    Not long after, the train stopped, and everyone got up and walked out.


    Guan Hu had already gone out ahead of them to be on the lookout.


    Even here, he did not let his guard down.


    Wu Mo took a deep breath and followed the crowd as everyone slowly got off the train.


    They were in the Central ins, and the flow of people here was obviously much denser than in the White River province. It waspletely different from the White River province. The Super Loop had just beenpleted there, and it had not been fully activated.


    It was obvious that it had been up and running in the Central ins, but the buildings looked very new. The Super Loop had probably been fully activated not long ago.


    Zhangsun Long, Lone Wolf, and the other cultivators followed the participants closely to prevent any idents.


    Although Wu Mo did not let down his guard, he could feel that security was tight once he arrived.


    After all, they were not the only group of cksmiths around. cksmiths from other provinces had also rushed there via the Super Loop. If anything happened, the Central ins would lose face.

 Chapter 397 Reflection

    Soon, the staff sent by the Central ins arrived to receive them.


    The Central ins did not send any important figures because the cksmith were just a few young individuals participating in the exchange conference. Moreover, there were many people from all over the country. They could easily attract attention and chaos while they weed or sent them off.


    Therefore, for the sake of fairness, they arranged a standard reception and assigned strict guards to the task. No important figures appeared.


    Wu Mo and the others understood this and heaved a sigh of relief.


    Xu Wanqing smiled. "Luckily, there aren''t any old men or big shots here. Otherwise, I would have to chat with them. It''s tiring!"


    Gan Yun and the others nodded in agreement. Wu Mo was not fond of such meaningless interactions either.


    With help from the receptionist, they got into a car and rushed to the hotel where they were going to stay.


    There was obviously a certain amount of traffic control on the road. Many cars were also temporarily parked along the street. Many people got out of their cars and took out their phones to take pictures. Some even gathered together and chatted excitedly.


    Wu Mo was somewhat famous in the White River province, but taking the entire Nine Provinces into ount, one would think that he was not that popr.


    However, it was obvious that the people of the Nine Provinces had great interest in them.


    Xu Wanqing and the others had already taken out their phones and begun to check the news in the Central ins.


    "Wow, this exchange conference is huge! There''s news about it everywhere."


    "Needless to say, all the cksmiths who are attending this time are top-notch. None of them are lower than five stars. Most of them are stuck at peak five stars and aren''t able to advance yet. They''re waiting to show off their skills in this exchange conference and amaze everyone!"


    "Interesting. This conference will involve the entire Nine Provinces. Even if you don''t enter the top 10, your reputation will increase as long as you do well."


    "What I''m most concerned about is what kind of experts are going to be there this year. It would be great if I had some information on them!"


    Several of them discussed animatedly while Wu Mo remained silent.


    The night before the journey, he had tossed and turned in bed before waking up with a start.


    cksmithing was indeed a respectable profession. The equipment that cksmiths forged could increase the survival chances of more warriors when facing enemies and foreign races. It was easier for them to defeat their enemies as well.


    However, this ability did not bring much improvement to his own strength.


    He realized that he had spent too much time on equipment research but had paid almost no attention to his cultivation.


    In this supernatural world, what was the point of doing good research and forging great equipment if one did not have enough strength?


    Could he fight with Mjolnir? Once he encountered an enemy, could he kill his enemy with the hammer? Or was he relying on the Invisibility Armor to defend himself and exhaust his enemies?


    He felt that he had gone astray. The ability to create equipment was very important in the study of strength, but his own strength was also very important.


    The situation on the battlefield of Ten Thousand Races seemed stable, but things could change at a moment''s notice. Who could guarantee the safety of the Nine Provinces?


    The foreign races might not be able to enter the Nine Provinces on arge scale, but it was not impossible for a small number of martial arts experts to infiltrate.


    What would he do if he came face to face with one of them?


    How could relying on the protection of others be more reliable than relying on one''s own strength?


    Wu Mo thought of many things right then, and ayer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.


    He had been too obsessed with making equipment behind closed doors.


    Besides, without the system''s help, could he have reached his current level on his own?


    He did not doubt his skills, but he would never overestimate himself.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    One could only walk more steadily and go further if one truly knew one''s self.


    He had never been on a battlefield. He had never experienced a real battle with a foreign race, and he did not understand the fighting style and strength of the other races. He did not understand the battlefield environment either. So, could the equipment that he forged really y a role?


    After examining himself, he realized that his current strength as a peak five-star cksmith was nothing against an ordinary three-star beast, let alone someone from a foreign race.


    Meanwhile, beasts were the most worthless consumables on the battlefield. Although they had a certain level of intelligence, it was not worth mentioning they werepared to the foreign races who had real civilizations and legacies.


    That night, Wu Mo contemted a lot and finally made up his mind to improve his strength andbat effectiveness.


    Not only could strength ensure safety, but it was also the key to forging equipment.


    The higher the level of the equipment, the higher the strength required.


    Now, he could still rely on the system to do things with ease, but there were times when his own strength could not keep up with the equipment''s manufacturing.


    Cultivators in this world cultivated their strength bymunicating through the weapons in their hands. They absorbed the essence of heaven and earth into their bodies to strengthen their bodies. Then, they would transmit energy through their bodies and control their weapons to fight their enemies.


    This isbined with their civilization''s system, and they gradually derived variousbat skills.


    Based on what Wu Mo knew, cultivators of all levels relied heavily on equipment. Their strength would drop by several levels if they faced an enemy empty-handed.


    Combat skills were reflected more in equipment, and the body was more like an energy supply battery.


    He had seen plenty of relevant information and videos. When facing a beast horde, cultivators basically fought in closebat and relied on their equipment to kill the beasts.


    However, the beasts were nothing more than consumables on the battlefield of the Ten Thousand races. They were like cannon fodder. But the foreign races might not be like the beasts that charged without thinking and allowed themselves to be ughtered.


    They also had equipment, powerful physiques, andbat skills. They could even control energy to go on the offensive and defensive.


    They all relied on equipment to embark on the extraordinary path of cultivation. The strength of the foreign races surpassed that of humans.


    Hence, humans could just passively defend themselves for now. They had little room to attack.


    To change this situation, it was not enough to just change his equipment. Wu Mo also had to update hisbat philosophy.


    He had tobine his equipment with a brand-newbat system to produce greater results.


    As the thoughts in Wu Mo''s mind churned, everyone arrived at the luxurious hotel.


    "Hey, what''s on your mind? You didn''t even say a word when I spoke to you!"


    For some reason, Xu Wanqing had been paying close attention to Wu Mo.


    It was not that she liked him, but curiosity was half of it.


    "Nothing, something just urred to me!"


    "I don''t understand you. I just feel like you''ve been acting strange these past two days."


    "Is that so?" Wu Mo smiled indifferently. You must be imagining things!"


    "Tsk! I can''t be bothered with you!"


    They then took their room cards and headed to their respective rooms under Guan Hu''s protection.


    Before they entered, Guan Hu sent someone into the rooms first. This person inspected the facilities to make sure there was no problem before letting them in.


    Wu Mo was incredibly satisfied with Guan Hu''s sense of responsibility. He told himself that if he made more equipment in the future, he could let Guan Hu try them out first.

 Chapter 398 Equipment Design

    The conference would begin tomorrow morning.


    However, the opening ceremony tomorrow was just a formality, and it was definitely not as grand as the Olympics in his previous life. Nevertheless, it was more important, and all the "athletes" had to attend.


    Although it was called a conference, it was actually apetition.


    The results would affect each province''s future funds and benefits.


    Wu Mo felt that he could use this time to enter the Divine Forging Space and forge a few pieces of equipment for himself.


    While it was a littlest-minute, he naturally had to correct the mistakes he had previously made.


    Mjolnir was a piece of Divine-grade equipment, and it gave him a great advantage in forging. However, he could not use it because he would not be able to exin its origin.


    The source of the materials used to forge Mjolnir could not be exined either. Therefore, he could not use it even if it was powerful.


    This was not only for the sake of improving his strength. There would be a live broadcast of the exchange conference, so how could he use Mjolnir to forge equipment before the public''s watchful eye?


    He would be crazy to do that.


    Hence, he needed a weapon to help with his cultivation andbat.


    As he examined his current situation, he recalled that he had other satisfactory equipment besides the Interspatial Ring.


    Now, he had to create a brand-new set of equipment that he could use openly.


    However, it was clear that one day was definitely not enough.


    Even if he wanted to make it in the uingpetition, he had to first forge a weapon and a tool hammer that could be used for forging. As for other equipment, he could temporarily use the Invisibility Armor, but he wanted to make a pair ofbat boots that would help him move fast enough.


    If the armor''s defense was insufficient, he could at least survive and prevent his enemy from hitting him by running fast.


    As long as he survived, he could start over.


    At the same time, he also nned to master a few martial arts techniques that were suitable for him.


    With just cultivation and no techniques, he could only use the <anno data-annotation-id="a31d8902-2f4d-c673-26c5-03c5fc53455e">Untrained Fist</anno> to fight his enemies. He could not bear to look at himself.


    It was a pity that he had spent too much time on forging equipment and paid little attention to martial arts. It was toote for him to cram everything in now.


    No matter how crude the martial arts techniques in this world were, he could not learn them in a day or two.


    He no longer hesitated at this point. With a thought, his consciousness entered the forging space again.


    As he stood there, Wu Mo began to think about what kind of equipment he should prepare for himself.


    There was not much time left, so he had to make the most of it.


    If any of the foreign races ambushed him, how would he deal with them? How should he react to an unexpected situation? What should he do if he was surrounded?


    Should he make an armor with strong defense?


    It was useless. No matter how strong the armor was, it would still break in the end. When that happened, would death not be the only thing waiting for him? The Invisibility Armor was enough for the time being.


    It would be best if he could avoid the enemy''s line of sight.


    Perhaps he could forge a pair ofbat boots that could increase the speed of his movement. If he could not beat them, he could dodge them and escape far away. That was the only way to save his life.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    However, it was not safe to rely on a pair of boots.


    No matter how fast he ran, he would still be crippled if the enemy had the ability to attack from a distance.


    So, did he have to forge an armor with high defense after all?


    Wu Mo shook his head. Forging an armor was a veryplicated process that required more time. He did not have enough time to design and forge it.


    Fortunately, his Invisibility Armor could turn him invisible. Coupled with speed, he might be able to fare better.


    However, just to be safe, he had to have at least one trump card that he could pull out in an emergency.


    Mjolnir was not convenient to use. It was too conspicuous and not stealthy enough.


    The Spirit Wave Sword was powerful enough, but it might not be of much use against an experienced enemy.


    He still needed a fast but hidden and powerful weapon that could be used from a distance.


    In fact, Wu Mo had thought of building a pair of wings for himself. The best course of action was to fly away when he encountered an enemy, but after some thought, he gave up on the idea for the time being.


    It was not that wings were not good, but the idea would be too difficult to execute. The time and materials required were still unknown.


    Time was what hecked the most at the moment.


    In the end, Wu Mo simplified Mjolnir''s blueprint and exchanged his system points for some higher-level materials. With the Divine cksmith System''s help, he quickly forged a five-star hammer, which was enough for him.


    By now, he was already feeling helpless about the tedious process of creating equipment.


    Obviously, the experience and process of this world''s entry into transcendence had led its technology and supernatural system to develop in a direction that no one had expected.


    It was a good idea tobine the supernatural and technology, but Wu Mo realized that current equipment manufacturing seemed to be based on technology, while the supernatural system was secondary.


    Doing so ensured that the equipment would be more precise, and they could also be mass produced. Unfortunately, the equipment would be limited by technology, and it would be difficult to unleash true extraordinary power.


    Furthermore, since equipment manufacturing was mainly based on science and technology, it consumed a lot of time and resources. This resulted in slow progress.


    In Wu Mo''s opinion, even though he could not improve his speed that much if he focused on supernatural cultivation, at least the equipment he created would be more powerful. He just could not mass produce them.


    Both approaches had their own advantages and disadvantages.


    With that said, Wu Mo felt that as long as he could ensure highbat power, it would be more economical and effective than having the advantage of numbers. He would also be more intimidating and efficient when killing enemies.


    Just think about it. If top-notch experts were paired with even more impressive extraordinary equipment, they could kill the leaders of enemy races. No matter how many troops they had and how good their equipment was, they would end up running around like headless chickens. What was there to be afraid of, then?


    Therefore, as Wu Mo forged histest equipment, he leaned more in the direction of the extraordinary. He did not involve much technology, so not only did it provide greater speed, but the equipment he forged even had light and shadow effects.


    The new five-star Mjolnir appeared to be a size smaller than the original Divine-grade hammer. Yet, he could see lightning arcs flickering on it when he ced it on the forging table. It looked extremely advanced.


    "Gasp! The effects of this equipment are pretty cool! Hmm, this thing should have a hidden ''effects'' switch. That way, I can turn it on when I want to show off and turn it off when I want to keep a low profile. I can even take my opponents by surprise when they underestimate me¡­"


    For some reason, Wu Mo recalled the actions of several protagonists in the novels from his previous life. It was inexplicable, but he was looking forward to battle.

 Chapter 399 Interviews And Evaluation

    Aside from the hammer, Wu Mo had also forged a brand-newbat sword for himself.


    It was not a sword that relied on energy to attack like the Spirit Wave Sword¡ªit was a real battle sword.


    Closebat was only one of its basic functions, and Wu Mo had positioned this sword as his personal weapon. At the same time, it would be the core of his cultivation.


    Therefore, the high quality of the materials aside, the sword''s most important function was to absorb the energy between heaven and earth and transform it into energy that the body could absorb.


    Although Wu Mo was a peak five-star cksmith with strong spirit power, the amount of true spirit energy in his body was pitifully little.


    If he were to fight with only his true spirit energy, he would just send his head to the ground even if he faced the trashiest Rank 1 beast. He would probably bid farewell to this world before he could even let out a scream.


    This showed how low his true spirit energy cultivation was now.


    However, it was undeniable that he was hesitant about forging because his physique was indeed good when coupled with his mental strength, reaction speed, and so on. Despite that, it had not been really possible to directly face a fierce Rank 1 beast.


    Therefore, apart from those two functions, there was nothing special about his newbat sword.


    As abat sword, it had enough hardness, toughness, and sharpness. As the core element in his training, its efficiency in absorbing the essence of heaven and earth was also close to that of the Divine-grade equipment, Mjolnir.


    But other than that, there was nothing special about it.


    It had no energy attacks or special attributes. If one''s swordsmanship was not strong enough, holding a sword would be like holding an iron bar with little attack power.


    However, in the hands of an expert, this sword could definitely be a killing machine. It did not have a curved de.


    Wu Mo was quite satisfied with this sword, but after waving it a few times, he put it back into the scabbard gloomily.


    It was a good sword, but he did not know anything at the moment!


    He was a little curious as to why he had gone all the way down the path of equipment crafting after transmigrating to this world. He did not even care about his own protection.


    Did he think that he would be safe just because of the noble status of his professions and the fact that cksmiths were as rare as the mages in the fantasy world?


    A mage''sbat power was not weak!


    He had seen extraordinary martial arts techniques but had actually refused to master it. Had he not been putting the cart before the horse?


    What was the purpose of forging equipment?


    It was about arming oneself. No matter who you asked, they would tell you it was all for the sake of fighting enemies!


    With only equipment and no corresponding strength andbat skills, would he not be a joke?


    Wu Mo took a deep breath and cursed himself. Then, he turned around and started forging the third piece of equipment.


    This time, he was forging a pair ofbat boots.


    Strangely, it took Wu Mo very little time to draw the blueprints.


    After temporarily abandoning the need for science and technology, his efficiency in drawing and forging had increased rapidly. The blueprint waspleted in less than an hour.


    Of course, it was more like copying than designing from scratch.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    He had seen so many anime, movies, and all kinds of beautiful equipment in his previous life. He did not have to think hard about the shape and function of a pair of shoes. Any design could easily surpass the aesthetic standards of this world.


    After all, this world had been affected by the war between the Ten Thousand Races, and it had always been under great pressure. He could notpare the entertainment industry here with the one from his previous life.


    The only thing he spent more effort on was thebination of the energy circuit and several functional arrays.


    To increase efficiency, Wu Mo did not choose any high-level arrays. He only used the most basic Tier 1 eleration Array, Lightweight Array, and control core.


    However, it was not as simple as engraving the Tier 1 eleration Array on the boots. Instead, he superimposed nine eleration Arrays and three Lightweight Arrays on the boots before he finally added a control core.


    As a result, mysterious and exquisite silvery-white patterns appeared out of thin air once the boots werepleted.


    They looked like silvery-white metalbat boots, but in reality, the boots did not even have a trace of metal. They were made of leather and rubber materials.


    These two materials were just of rtively high grade. In fact, they were only three stars quality-wise, but they needed to be synthesized through special methods. While the boots were not of a very high level, their value could not be mentioned in the same breath.


    Not only did they give the user the ability to move quickly in a small area, but once the user started running, he could increase his speed by up to nine times. It did not matter whether he ran in a straight line or in a curve, as long as he could control the boots properly


    In other words, one could cover a distance that normally took 10 seconds in a little more than a second. If Wu Mo could travel 100 meters in 9 seconds in his previous life, then he could reach nearly 100 meters in a second now.


    While Wu Mo and the others were resting, the entire Red Heart province became lively as more and more participants arrived.


    The advertisement screens on the roadside were all about the exchange conference.


    Although it was not time for it to officially begin, some hosts and reporters had already begun interviewing the participants. These interactions were also very interesting.


    Manymoners had already nestled on their couches to watch the live broadcast.


    The number of viewers disyed on the big screen soared, and it quickly exceeded 100 million.


    The truth was, the exchange conference did not really concern the ordinary people. Even though it was quite well-known, those who paid attention to it were often people from rted industries.


    However, cksmiths had a high status, and they received exceptional treatment. Countless people yearned to be a cksmith. Plus, the media was adopting a live broadcast approach to report on this exchange conference for the first time.


    It immediately caused a sensation and heated discussion, especially since the participants were some of the youngest cksmiths. Their achievements had attracted the attention of numerous parents.


    A lot of people had children. If their children could also walk the path of a cksmith, they would definitely have a great future.


    Many parents hoped that their children would be sessful, so they paid special attention to the event.


    Another reason was that many of the participants were quite famous. They were celebrities in the cksmith industry and were even well-known by countless people across the world. They drew attention, and many people from various regions wanted to see them.


    Naturally, people were also very interested in programs rted to the exchange conference. As long as it was on the television, its viewership ratings would explode.


    "Hello! Mr. Zhang, are you confident about winning thepetition?" A female reporter handed a microphone to a burly man in his mid-twenties and asked respectfully.


    "Are you trying to stuff the microphone into my mouth? You''re so close!"


    Master Zhang was not pleased. He took a step back to avoid the microphone in front of him, but he did not leave.

 Chapter 400 Forging Of New Equipment Completed

    "I''m determined to win thispetition!" Master Zhang said confidently.


    There were quite a few people nearby. When they heard his words, there was an uproar.


    "Who is this guy? How audacious of him to boast so shamelessly."


    "You don''t know him? He''s one of the Red Heart province''s seeded yers, Master Zhang Weiyi. He''s a peak five-star master cksmith, and he could advance to six stars at any time!"


    "Most of the participating cksmiths rank five stars and above. What makes him so bold to say that? Does he have something amazing up his sleeve?"


    The reporter''s eyes lit up when she heard Master Zhang''s answer. It was controversial, and it would definitely attract a lot of attention. Her desire to stir up trouble instantly soared, and she quickly continued to ask, "I heard that many young genius cksmiths havee from every province. One such genius is a cksmith named Wu Mo from the White River province. He has justpleted the production of several top-notch equipment, and the military has ced arge order for them. What do you think of Master Wu Mo?"


    Zhang Weiyi seemed a little annoyed and said, "What can I say? I''ll see him when the timees!"


    Then, he added, "But this young man is very talented. He''s forged so many unbelievable Divine weapons that the military can use at such a young age. He''ll definitely have the talent of a Divine cksmith in the future. However..."


    He hesitated for a moment before continuing. "Despite his talent and hardworking nature, I''m sure he won''t even make it into the top 10, let alone win thepetition."


    "Oh? Why?"


    Zhang Weiyi''s response caused amotion.


    Some of them agreed, while others objected. However, due to Zhang Weiyi''s status as a cksmith, no one dared to refute him loudly. Even so, they could not help but appear dissatisfied.


    Zhang Weiyi did not care at all. He faced the camera and firmly said, "Don''t think that I''m jealous of those who are talented, and don''t think that Wu Mo''s invincible just because he created the Invisibility Armor, Spirit Wave Sword, and other top-notch weapons. The truth is, everyone participating in this exchange conference is on the same level. He''s really not as strong as you think!


    "Although the Invisibility Armor he forged has heaven-defying attributes, it''s only a five-star armor. Its greatest function is invisibility, but as a battle armor, its defensive function is almost non-existent. What kind of armor doesn''t have any defensive power?


    "Once the enemy has the ability to see through your invisibility on the battlefield, this armor will be useless!


    "So, I''vee to the conclusion that many of his ideas are good, but his strength is still very limited. Based on the power that the Invisibility Armor has disyed, it''s unlikely for him to enter the top 10!"


    Zhang Weiyi''s words were reasonable, and no one could discredit him.


    Ultimately, the Invisibility Armor''s defense was indeed quite different from that of other same-level armor. Once the enemy could see through the invisibility, there was almost no difference between wearing the armor and not wearing it.


    ...


    In the room next to Wu Mo''s, Xu Wanqing was also watching the live broadcast with a solemn expression. For some reason, she also felt a little angry.


    "These people have no idea what they''re talking about. The Invisible Armor isn''t meant for frontline soldiers. It''s meant for martial artists on special missions. How could theypare the two situations? Even if Wu Mo wanted to equip all of the soldiers, he wouldn''t be able to afford it! That''s a piece of five-star equipment. The materials and technology involved are all expensive."


    Although she thought so, she knew that the armor had a w.


    After all, the armor was abination of technology and transcendence, and technology was more important. That was the only way such equipment could be mass-produced.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Otherwise, it would be too difficult to mass-produce extraordinary equipment. The materials were only one aspect. The difficulty of producing extraordinary equipment was even higher, and the energy consumed was also terrifying. It could not be maintained for long, but it had to be done gradually over time.


    It would take the army a long period to switch one piece of equipment, let alone more than one equipment. There was no cost-performance ratio at all.


    This was, of course, a dilemma brought about by different ideologies. If only a portion of the top-tier elites were equipped, perhaps things would be better.


    Unfortunately,pared to the other races, the strongest humans were still at a disadvantage. If there was no equipment that could greatly increase their strength and reverse their strategic situation, it would still be difficult to change conservative ideas.


    ...


    In the blink of an eye, it was the second day and also the official start of the Annual cksmith Exchange Conference.


    A night had passed outside, but 10 days had passed in the Divine Forging Space.


    Apart from eating and sleeping, Wu Mo spent those 10 days forging Divine weapons.


    A simplified version of Mjolnir, a battle sword that had yet to be named but was extremely tough and sharp, andbat boots that could increase a cultivator''s speed... These three pieces of equipment were forged one after the other.


    However, it had only taken him eight days to forge the equipment. He used the remaining two days to forge a special defensive equipment that looked like an ice-blue orb.


    He named the orb, Frost Star.


    It had a simr function to a magic effect in a game from his previous life. Once activated, it could stir up a ring of ice and snow that pushed enemies a certain distance away. At the same time, it could freeze and slow things down.


    To make sure that the attributes of this item were good enough, Wu Mo had exchanged his system points for a top-grade Ice Soul. As long as one''s cultivation was lower than six stars, they would not be able to resist the freezing effects of the frost ring.


    Once that happened, he would be able to kill as many enemies as he wanted with a sword in his hand. He did not need to be proficient in any sword technique, provided that the sword was sharp enough.


    Coincidentally, Wu Mo''s second equipment was a sturdy and sharp sword.


    Coupled with thebat boots, he believed that even a seven-star powerhouse might not be able to retreat unscathed if he was caught off guard.


    Obviously, this was just spection based on his current understanding. The actual performance was another matter.


    Nevertheless, he felt that he could at least guarantee his safety for the time being.


    In fact, he still had many ideas in his mind. He had many equipment designs, but because he was not strong enough and there was not enough time, he could only give up for now.


    Although the idea ofbining technology and transcendence was good, the current equipment manufacturing system that focused on both was obviously not suitable for him.


    What he wanted to do was focus on transcendence and use technology as a supplement.


    Very few people in this world took a simr path, but it was not because theycked intelligence. They were powerless.

 Chapter 401 I Just Woke Up Late

    Most importantly, they did not have any extraordinary legacies or corresponding extraordinary knowledge and systems. By studying craters, they figured out how to use Divine weapons to absorb the power of heaven and earth. That way, they could transcend.


    However, their utilization of this extraordinary power was too slow. Without a legacy, they could only rely on the gathered experiences of numerous people.


    They inevitably made mistakes, and countless people with lofty aspirations went berserk or even died because of this.


    Therefore, although the supernatural powers of this world had been developed for decades, there was still an insurmountable gap between it and technology.


    After all, extraordinary power was invisible and intangible. There was no relic or reference point. It could only be created out of thin air, and that was obviously challenging.


    However, Wu Mo was different. He did not have a transcendent inheritance rted to cultivation, but he had something rted to Divine weapons. With it as a reference, he could perfect the establishment and application of his own transcendent system faster.


    He should take this path instead of investing more experience intobining transcendence and technology.


    With a thought, Wu Mo returned to his hotel room, and he exhaled lightly.


    Although he had been in the Divine Forging Space for the past 10 days, he continued to scan his room for any movements.


    "Perhaps I can create a piece of equipment for surveince. If I can create something simr to the Vision Ward in League of Legends, it would make things much simpler. But this is just an option. Right now, I still have to utilize my experience in the exchange conference. Whether I''m interested in this exchange conference or not, I can''t disappoint the people who''ve helped me. They look forward to it, so that''s the least I can do!"


    He took a shower, changed his clothes, and pushed the door open.


    As soon as he stepped out, he saw a few familiar figures at the elevator door not far away. It was Xu Wanqing and the others.


    The moment he appeared, Xu Wanqing''s beautiful eyes widened.


    She remembered knocking on his door for a long time, but she never heard any movement from inside. She thought that he had already gone downstairs. She did not expect him to still be in his room.


    Wu Mo had actually heard the knocking earlier, but he was putting the finishing touches to the Frost Star. Since he was in the middle of something important, he decided to ignore it.


    After he exited the space, he even deliberately dawdled for a while and washed up. He did not expect to bump into them when he stepped out.


    He raised his hand and touched his nose to ease the awkward atmosphere, but he realized that Xu Wanqing was still staring at him.


    "Ahem! Good morning!"


    Xu Wanqing, Gan Yun, Liu Ze, and Chen Qingbai gave him a strange look.


    "It''ll be noon in two hours!" Xu Wanqing said after a long while.


    Wu Mo walked over to them and remained silent.


    Gan Yun approached Wu Mo and bumped into him. "What were you doing in your room? Were you..." he asked asughed sleazily. He was being too familiar with Wu Mo.


    Wu Mo could tell that his brain was full of naughty thoughts. He was speechless. "I just woke upte!" he responded in annoyance.


    "I understand, I understand. We''re all at that age. Who wouldn''t know?! Look at your face. It''s a little pale. You need to nourish yourself!"


    Wu Mo looked up helplessly and gave up on exining.


    Liu Ze and Chen Qingbai smiled knowingly. They kept quiet, but their silence said everything.


    Xu Wanqing looked at the three of them, and she was somewhat baffled.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    She was irritated because Wu Mo had clearly been in his room, but he never opened the door for her. She did not know what he had been upied with. Was it possible that the guys knew?


    "What are you talking about? Do you know what he was doing in his room?"


    "No, we don''t!" Gan Yun quickly denied.


    Liu Ze and Chen Qingbai also shook their heads to indicate that they had no idea.


    Right then, the elevator arrived, and the doors opened with a ding. Wu Mo quickly pushed Xu Wanqing aside and said, "Hurry up, it''s gettingte!"


    Xu Wanqing snorted and said unhappily, "If you don''t open the door for me next time, I''ll definitely kick it open and see what you''re doing in your room!"


    When Gan Yun and the other two heard this, they all looked on with anticipation. They even gave Wu Mo an encouraging look. They seemedpletely happy with themselves.


    Wu Mo did not know how these guys suddenly became so close. He just pretended not to see them.


    Soon, they arrived downstairs.


    Guan Hu had already brought his men over to guard the elevator doors. He stood guard the instant he saw theme down.


    "The exchange conference is about to start. Wu Mo, if you''re hungry, you can eat in the car while you wait for lunch! Who asked you to wake up sote?"


    Although Xu Wanqing''s eyes were filled with resentment, she still expressed her concern and handed Wu Mo a bag.


    It warmed his heart a little. Even though this girl had a little temper, she was still a good person.


    At this moment, the participants from the other provinces also appeared in the hall one after another, and they all sized each other up.


    Dressed in formal attire, Chu Qingyan was standing in the crowd and chatting with a few Red Heart cksmiths whom he knew. Among them was Zhang Weiyi, the "seeded yer."


    They chatted happily as if there was no one else around and it showed that they had a n in mind.


    However, when Chu Qingyan saw a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye, his heart skipped a beat.


    He felt as if he had spotted someone, and he could not believe it when he turned his head. He saw Wu Mo who had just walked out of the elevator.


    There was a jolt in his heart!


    "This isn''t right! Wasn''t he demoted to a quality inspector? Why is he here to participate in the exchange conference? Is he qualified and strong enough?"


    Chu Qingyan was filled with resentment toward Wu Mo. If it were not for the fact that he could not do anything to Wu Mo, he would have taken revenge long ago. He never thought he would meet his enemy here.


    In a moment of agitation, his eyes revealed a vicious and hateful expression. His originally gloomy temperament became sinister.


    A few people who were chatting with him sensed that something was off, and they could not help but follow his gaze.


    "That must be the White River province''s Wu Mo! I heard that he''s created several top-notch equipment that can be mass-produced. White River''s military has purchased them. He''s quite famous in our circle!" a young man with sses said with a confident smile.


    Zhang Weiyi recognized Wu Mo and nodded as well. "He''s indeed famous, but that''s pretty much it. I heard that Xu Wanqing, Academician Xu''s granddaughter from White River, is also participating in this exchange conference. As for Wu Mo, the equipment he''s developed is just so-so. It''s only suitable for a small number of people!"


    Right then, Chu Qingyan finally regained his senses. A smile instantly reced the expression on his face. "Hmph, I won''t hide this from everyone¡ªI have a grudge against Wu Mo. I thought that he had already disappeared into oblivion. I didn''t expect him to be here, so I lost myposure just now."

 Chapter 402 Competition Rewards

    These cksmiths were highly intelligent, so they naturally noticed Chu Qingyan''s abnormal behavior. However, they did not think too much about it.


    After all, even if they were all from the Red Heart province, they would still bepeting with each other. But they were naturally on the same side when facing off against those from other provinces.


    "I see! Wu Mo doesn''t look very old. For him to obtain a spot in the conference, it''s obvious that he''s highly regarded in the White River province. However, the White River province has always been at the bottom of the rankings in almost every conference. He''s probably not even worth mentioning."


    "I''m confident that I can defeat him, but I haven''t seen him for a long time. I wonder how much his forging skills have improved." Chu Qingyan nodded slightly. "The more we value such an opponent, the better. Since we have a feud with him, we can''t give him a chance to rise."


    "Brother Chu, don''t worry. As long as it''s within our ability, we''ll definitely do our best!"


    "Thank you, my brothers. If you need my help in the future, just let me know. I won''t turn my back on you!"


    The few of them revealed a tacit smile and looked at Wu Mo with a yful gaze.


    At the end of the day, Chu Qingyan was still a cksmith from the Red Heart province. A casual favor in exchange for a favor was worth their time.


    On the other side, Wu Mo sensed something as well. He turned his head slightly and met Chu Qingyan''s gaze. He could not help but raise his eyebrows.


    As the saying went, destiny would make enemies meet. He had just arrived at the Red Heart province, but he had already met someone who held a grudge against him. It really surprised him.


    However, thinking about what Chu Qingyan had done in the past, it was understandable. Wu Mo did not feel the slightest fear in his heart.


    Their conflict seemed to be under control, but in reality, Chu Qingyan would not hesitate if he had the chance to kill him in the wild.


    Therefore, Wu Mo was on guard.


    One should not harm others, but one should guard against others.


    He was in the Red Heart province, and he knew how Chu Qingyan was. Therefore, he would not give him the opportunity to cause trouble.


    With that said, he was not afraid. He would deal with whatever came his way, so he was not going to lose sleep over Chu Qingyan.


    His gaze only stopped on Chu Qingyan for a moment before he retracted it, as though he did not see him.


    His reaction annoyed Chu Qingyan greatly. It looked like Wu Mo did not see him as a worthy opponent. He felt anger from being looked down upon.


    Right then, the organizers sent a car that would transport the participants to the venue arranged by the cksmith Association.


    Since the scale and poprity of the conference were far greater than before, the venue was also chosen to be in the Federal Hall''s stadium.


    The stadium could amodate 33,000 people. It looked much smaller than a stadium that could amodate 100,000 people, but it was an indoor stadium. There was also a space for forging Divine weapons.


    In addition, there were high-definition cameras installed in the forging space, so they could watch the contestants at any time.


    There were only a few dozen participants in total, but they brought arge number of security personnel, so the number of people exceeded 300.


    Therefore, the organizers arranged for more than a dozen cars to pick everyone up.


    The streets along the way were sealed, and police cars directed them to an open path. Those who did not know better would think that some big shot had arrived!


    Many people on both sides of the road stopped to watch. They looked at the procession with curious gazes and lively discussions.


    Wu Mo sat in thest row of the car and observed the situation by the road.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    For some reason, he had a feeling that this exchange conference would not go as smoothly as he had imagined.


    In fact, he no longer had interest in this exchange conference. But since he was already there, he did not have any objections. He only wanted to broaden his horizons. Aside from entering the top 10, he would justy low.


    After a night of awakening, he now had low expectations for the conference.


    With the transcendent system and the technological system working side by side, and the technological system being the main one, many things needed time to umte.


    Therefore, most of the exchanges in this conference were about scientific and technological achievements. They were naturally of great benefit to forging, but it deviated from his current forging philosophy, so he lost interest.


    Ten minutester, the groups arrived at the stadium and entered in session.


    With the staff''s guidance, the White River province members found their respective seats. Behind them was a row of magnificent forging rooms with all the necessary equipment.


    Although Wu Mo had yet to enter the rooms, the facilities there were definitely not bad based on Red Heart''s reputation.


    The next step was a rather boring process. Various organization leaders and the cksmiths'' representatives gave speeches before they visited the forging space. This basicallysted the whole morning, and a banquet waster held at the hotel.


    In the afternoon, the exchange conference officially began.


    The so-called "Annual Exchange Conference" was just a nice name. In truth, it should be called the Nine Provinces cksmith Competition, not some exchange conference.


    Who would be willing to share their best techniques or skills with others?


    That would not happen. Everyone would only learn by observing the forging process of others. It was up to them how much they could learn. If they failed to learn anything, they were ipetent. What did it have to do with the other participants then?


    Hence, this exchange conference received so much attention because of thepetition.


    After all, there would always be a winner and a loser in thepetition. This would affect the interests of many parties.


    Apart from their final rankings, which affected the allocation of funds and various resources for the next year, there were also individual rewards for the participating cksmiths.


    While the rewards were notparable to a huge amount of resources, they were still extremely generous for an individual. It was enough to make others envious.


    The prize for first ce was three types of Divine-grade materials and other rewards. They were items that could not be bought even with money.


    The prize for second ce was two types of Divine-grade materials and other numerous rewards.


    The one in third ce would be rewarded with one Divine-grade material and other rewards.


    The prizes for the fourth to tenth ces were simr. They were all Quasi-Divine-grade materials but in a different quantity.


    All these materials could not be purchased on the market, so the cksmiths found them very attractive.


    "The rewards are really good. It makes my blood boil. As long as you have one type of Divine-grade material and a few Tier 2 supplementary materials, you can forge true Divine-grade equipment. To a cksmith, the experience gained is enough to improve by arge margin."


    "Dream on. Although there are so many people participating this time, only a few will ce at the top. Most will be trying to catch up."


    "I''ll give it my all no matter what!"

 Chapter 403 Faction Inclination

    Many of the participants discussed animatedly, and their eyes lit up in anticipation.


    Only Wu Mo did not seem to be affected.


    "What''s the matter? Aren''t you excited about it?" Xu Wanqing asked curiously. There are Divine-grade materials! You can''t buy them even if you have the money!"


    Wu Mo smiled calmly. "Of course I''m excited. However, I''m happy to just try my best. Our strength will determine whether we get the materials or not."


    "Nonsense! Everyone here has been chosen from the best of the best in the various provinces. Even if there''s a difference in strength, it''s a small one. So, it''s more important to focus on your performance during thepetition. If you can perform beyond your usual standards, there''s hope for you to enter the top 10."


    Just then, the host from the cksmith Association began to brief them on thepetition''s format.


    "This exchange conference is divided into two main parts. The first part is blueprint design. A piece of equipment can only be realized with a good design. A creative design also reflects the progress you''ve made. Therefore, a good cksmith must perform well in the blueprint design segment.


    "We will provide each person with three pieces of high-quality blueprint paper, and you are allowed to make two mistakes. If you make a third mistake, you will be immediately eliminated."


    Blueprint design was a very rigorous job. Good and creative ideas were ultimately achieved through blueprints.


    However, the work of drawing was usually tedious, and there was a high possibility of mistakes in the process as one''s thoughts changed.


    The participants were not allowed to design just any kind of equipment. Instead, they would be given questions on the spot. The participants would have to think about it and draw out their ideas. Finally, the pros and cons of their designs would be judged.


    Therefore, once the design waspleted, many people would already be eliminated.


    Even so, the organizers would not announce the results yet.


    After all, no matter how good the blueprint was, it would be a waste if it could not be forged.


    One needed to know how to turn one''s thoughts into blueprints and then turn those blueprints into equipment to be considered a qualified cksmith.


    Otherwise, a good design that could not be realized would mean nothing.


    So, even if they did not score well for their design blueprints at first, they still had a chance to catch up.


    The organizers would not exclude those who ranked lower just because of the quality of their blueprints. They still needed to determine the final result through actual forging.


    Hence, the first part was the design, and the second part was the forging.


    For the sake of fairness, each segment utilized a 100-point system. In the end, the two scores would be added together, and the person with the highest score would be in first ce.


    The host on the stage exined the rules twice. Once he could see that the participants had memorized and understood them, he waved his hand and said, "Thepetition will officially begin now! Thispetition is certified by the Nine Provinces Notarization Office, and topics covered in today''spetition have been appraised by the cksmith Association. Each participant will be assigned a unique question by drawing lots."


    The cksmiths below were excited and nervous when they heard this.


    Xu Wanqing took a deep breath and turned to Wu Mo. "I thought everyone would be given the same question and topic. I didn''t expect us to be drawing lots."


    "As we all know, cksmiths usually forge weapons and armor, with very little auxiliary equipment. So, you''d think that the scope of topics would be easy to determine. But since they''re making us draw lots, I have a feeling that the selection of topics will take us by surprise. The requirements may be very harsh or strange. You''d better be careful," Wu Mo said with some curiosity.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Xu Wanqing rolled her eyes at him.


    Wu Mo knew that women held grudges, but he never thought that she would still remember the small matter of not opening the door for her.


    "I heard that the cksmith Association is currently divided. Some cksmiths say that the technological system is taking up too much of the forging industry. It''s causing equipment research and development to be slower and more difficult. Besides, the cost is high. Some are hoping to focus on the transcendent system."


    Xu Wanqing quietly leaned her head closer to Wu Mo and told him what she knew.


    "However, there are only a few cksmiths who support the transcendent system, and they''re all rtively young. I''m sure you''re aware that cksmiths only appeared not too long ago. Without aplete transcendent system and the support of a technological system, the equipment forged will be unstable, and it will be difficult to scale up.


    "So, although there are voices of opposition, it still hasn''t be mainstream. However, as the situation on the battlefield has be more and more serious, the country has decided that it doesn''t matter which system is used. As long as it produces satisfactory results, it''s a good system. Therefore, cksmiths who focus on transcendent systems have been allowed to participate in this exchange conference, and they''ve been given nearly half of the judging rights."


    "Oh?" Wu Mo''s eyes lit up. Things had taken an unexpected turn.


    He had assumed that the Nine Provinces were filled with people who only walked the same path, but it was obvious that he had underestimated these cksmiths.


    "In other words, nearly half of the judges for thispetition are cksmiths who support the transcendent system?"


    "Yes! Many people know about this, but I''m sure you also realize that the transcendent system is still very underdeveloped. It''s very risky to take this route. Which side do you n on choosing?"


    "Transcendent!" Wu Mo nced at Xu Wanqing.


    Xu Wanqing''s beautiful eyes instantly widened. She looked at him and asked, "You''re choosing transcendent? You''ve developed several types of equipment based on the technology system. Why have you chosen the transcendent system?"


    "Because it gives me more freedom!"


    "Freedom?"


    "Yes! It''s precisely because the transcendent system isn''t perfect that I can create the equipment I want. And if the technological system is the dominant one, do you know how boring it is to fuse all kinds of technologies together and then fuse extraordinary effects?"


    "Hmph! Of course I know! However, it''s obvious that the technological system is advantageous too. As long as the equipment''s a sess, it can be mass-produced. Troops can quickly equip themselves and increase theirbat strength. Can the transcendent system do that? Equipment that are forged using two different systems will never be the same even if they''re forged by the same person."


    Wu Mo did not want to argue with her, so he said, "It''s up to you. Anyway, this is my choice!"


    Xu Wanqing snorted and stood up to go up to the stage and draw lots.


    Wu Mo also stood up and followed suit.


    Soon, everyone finished drawing lots on the stage and returned to their seats.


    "What''s your topic?" Xu Wanqing asked curiously.


    Wu Mo looked at her speechlessly and realized that once this girl got familiar with him, she would be clingy. He could not shake her off.


    Unfortunately, Xu Wanqing did not notice Wu Mo''s annoyance. She only looked at the note in his hand.

 Chapter 404 Burrowing Technique

    Wu Mo silently opened the note in his hand, and the words on it came into view.


    [A team of soldiers is being pursued by the foreign races. The Winged Ones are in the sky, and the Demon Hounds are behind them. Arge group of three-star Iron Armored Wolves has been discovered up ahead. Please forge a piece of equipment that is suitable for the situation and prevent the entire team of soldiers from being wiped out!]


    "F*ck!"


    Wu Mo had originally been a little calm, but he couldn''t help but curse when he saw the contents of the note.


    He knew that thispetition wouldn''t be simple, but he didn''t expect the requirements to be so crazy.


    They did not give any requirements for forging equipment. Instead, they wanted him to forge equipment ording to the situation and turn the tide of the battle.


    ording to the military system of the Nine Provinces, there would only be five to seven people in this team. If it was arge team, there would only be about 100 people. They were flying in the sky and running on the ground. There were wolves blocking them up ahead. What equipment could allow these guys to escape?


    Did they really think that cksmiths were omnipotent?


    The Winged Ones were one thing, but the Demon Hounds were also chasing them onnd. It was ridiculous! Not only did this race run fast, but their noses were also especially sensitive. Even if the soldiers could run for a while, if they could not enter an absolutely safe ce, they would eventually be caught up.


    This was definitely a hidden pit. If the equipment forged could only solve the problem temporarily, his final score would probably be very low.


    After all, even if these soldiers managed to avoid immediate danger, they would not be able to escape the subsequent danger.


    The wolf pack before them wasn''t a big threat. The real threat was the two foreign races chasing after them. As long as they couldn''t get rid of thempletely, they would die in the end.


    Wu Mo''s originally calm expression turned stiff as he turned to look at Xu Wanqing.


    Xu Wanqing obviously didn''t expect Wu Mo''s choice of topic to be so challenging. When she thought about how these topics had been verified by the cksmith Association, she knew that the topic in her hands wouldn''t be any better.


    Therefore, she could not help but pinch the paper in her hand with her fair and delicate hands.


    "Open it and take a look!"


    Xu Wanqing unfolded the paper, and her mouth opened slightly. She stared at the words on the paper as if she had seen something unbelievable.


    [A team of soldiers has encountered arge river. However, there is a ferocious aquatic beast, the One-horned Crocodile, in the river. They must cross the river within 10 minutes. Please forge a piece of equipment to help them!]


    When Wu Mo saw this, relief shed in his eyes, and he immediately calmed down.


    This question appeared quite simple, but in reality, if one understood the One-horned Crocodile, one would know that the difficulty of this question was definitely on par with his.


    At the same time, it hid a huge trap. A misjudgment would also result in failure.


    "A four-star beast, the One-horned Crocodile!" Xu Wanqingined. There are killer piranhas as well, so they can''t kill the ferocious four-star beast yet. The piranhas would attack everything in a frenzy once they see blood. However, this four-star beast is an existence that even a five-star beast can''t beat in the water. How could such a team of soldiers survive? Fly over?"


    "The One-horned Crocodile''s horn can deliver an attack called Frost Spike," Wu Mo said faintly.


    Xu Wanqing already knew without Wu Mo''s reminder. She wasining precisely because she knew.


    Anyone who had knowledge of the One-horned Crocodile would know that it was safer in the water than in the air.


    Moreover, the One-horned Crocodiles lived in groups. If one appeared, there would be at least a dozen or more nearby.


    It was a little difficult for a group of soldiers to cross the river unscathed under such harsh conditions.


    The rules of the blueprint designpetition didn''t forbid people frommunicating with each other. After all, it was an exchange conference. Naturally, people who knew each other could speak freely. This was also one of the purposes of the exchange conference.


    Nearby, Gan Yun, Liu Ze, and Chen Qingbai did not appear too pleased as well. Clearly, their questions were either very strange or perhaps difficult.


    Thepetitionsted for three days, but no one was allowed to leave the venue. There were beds, washrooms, and everything else in the forging room at the back, so the cksmiths could only stay there for the next three days.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Wu Mo stuffed the note into his pocket and stood up. "I''ll go back and study it. I''ll leave first."


    "Hey, why are you leaving so early? Don''t tell me you''ve already thought of a solution to the problem!"


    "I haven''t. Take your time to think about it. I''ll go back and rest first!"


    Xu Wanqing was speechless.


    Wu Mo went to his assigned forging room, locked the door, andy on the bed.


    However, he did not sleep. Instead, he fell into deep thought.


    He already had his question. Although the conditions presented were very harsh, it was notpletely impossible.


    First of all, the equipment had to ensure the safety of an entire team, not a single person.


    It was either a piece of equipment that could be mass-produced based on technology and given to every soldier in the team, or a piece of equipment that could cover the entire team and ensure that they could escape.


    To be honest, Wu Mo did not have any clue at the moment.


    Fortunately, he had knowledge from his previous life. He began to search through his memories for equipment or ideas that could be used for reference.


    If it was just a simple pair of shoes that could increase their speed, they might be able to temporarily increase the distance between them and their enemies.


    However, their physical strength was limited, and they would inevitably be caught by their enemies in the end.


    Therefore, this method was not advisable.


    Flying in the air was not possible either. The Winged Ones were born with wings. Even if these soldiers could fly, they would not be as skilled as the Winged Ones. In terms ofbat ability in the air, they would be far inferior. It was not desirable either.


    If they couldn''t go up to the sky, they could only go underground.


    Wu Mo''s eyes lit up.


    It wasn''t that he hadn''t heard of burrowing equipment before. However, it had mainly been based on technology, and results were mainly achieved by quickly digging into the ground. It was fundamentally different from transcendent burrowing equipment.


    Obviously, this supernatural world had not developed any equipment or abilities that could allow one to escape underground.


    Wu Mo had some ideas in his mind at this moment, but it was indeed somewhat difficult to realize the ability to travel underground.


    First of all, he did not know how to burrow underground. Otherwise, he would definitely be able to forge this equipment with half the effort.


    "Sigh! I wasted too much time in the past!


    "There''s no use regretting now. I''d better enter the space to see if there''s any relevant knowledge I can learn."


    He closed his eyes slightly, and his consciousness entered the Divine Forging Space.


    "System, how many points do I need to purchase knowledge rted to underground equipment?"


    [Knowledge rted to the Earth Evasion Talisman costs 50,000 points! Knowledge rted to the underground shuttle costs 300,000 points!]


    Wu Mo looked at the list that appeared before his eyes and felt a headache.


    The Earth Evasion Talisman was cheap, but he really did not know how to draw talismans!


    This required practice, and it was not something that could be mastered overnight.

 Chapter 405 Alerting The Master Blacksmith

    "Tsk tsk! As expected, it''s really expensive. However, the knowledge I''ll gain is worth the price."


    The underground shuttle was the most cost-effective out of the given selections.


    Fortunately, he had umted a lot of points during, so he proceeded with the exchange.


    He had to read and understand the system''s information on his own, so he could only stay in the Divine Forging Space to learn.


    The time ratio between the Divine Forging Space and the outside world was 10:1. If he spent all his time on studying, he would save more than 20 days on studying if he was given half a day to draw.


    The underground shuttle naturally came with its own blueprint, but it was a seven-star Divine equipmentparable to Thor''s Hammer. It was not appropriate for him to just bring it out.


    Therefore, he needed to understand the blueprint thoroughly and simplify it.


    As long as this underground shuttle retained certain functions, it could carry a small group of soldiers and help them escape underground.


    A true earth-burrowing Divine equipment could hold up to 1,000 people. One could consider the shuttle a piece of strategic support equipment, and it required a lot of materials. The requirements for the cksmith were also incredibly high.


    Although he had forged Mjolnir, he had mainly done so with help from the Divine Forging Space. It would have been impossible for him to forge a Divine weapon otherwise.


    Sadly, Wu Mo had intended to use this time to cultivate and improve his strength. However, it was clearly not a good time to cultivate during thepetition. He could just temporarily put his cultivation aside and focus on analyzing the underground shuttle''s blueprints.


    ...


    Two days passed in the blink of an eye. In that time, all the cksmiths racked their brains to construct their own equipment, but very few of them actually started drawing designs.


    After all, they only had three chances. Once they wasted two of them, they would reach a dead end.


    Therefore, everyone was extremely cautious about their blueprint design. Even if they had a good idea, they would not easily reveal it to anyone.


    Although they were exchanging ideas, they would still hide their personal designs.


    To Wu Mo''s surprise, Xu Wanqing never approached him in the past two days. It seemed that she had already found a way to solve her problem.


    "That''s great!"


    Wu Mo casually ate dinner and returned to his forging room. He sat in front of his workbench and began to prepare his drawing.


    Two days had passed in the real world, and twenty days had already passed in the forging space.


    Thanks to his strong and deep foundation, as well as the knowledge and umtion of his previous life''s advancement, it only took him 20 days topletely analyze the underground shuttle''s blueprint.


    Now, everything was ready.


    He closed his eyes and focused. After calming his emotions, he opened his eyes abruptly.


    At this moment, his essence, spirit, and soul hadpletely condensed. His concentration was at its peak, and the pen in his hand instantly moved.


    For others, it was almost impossible toplete the drawing process in one go. There would always be problems or mistakes.


    If one was careless, the blueprint would turn out unusable, and one would have to start over.


    However, this was not a problem for Wu Mo because he had already gone through his drawing many times in the Divine Forging Space. Every time he made a mistake, the system would notify him and analyze the reason for his mistake.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Therefore, he had everything prepared. As long as there were no incidents, he couldplete it in one go.


    Time slowly passed.


    After two and a half hours, Wu Mo straightened his body and exhaled. A hint of joy shed across his eyes.


    He might have drawn this blueprint many times in the forging space, but it was tooplicated. It consumed a lot of energy each time he attempted it.


    Now that he had finished drawing the blueprint, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.


    Meanwhile, the cksmith Association''s surveince personnel discovered Wu Mo''spletion of the blueprint design through the indoor surveince cameras. They immediately reported it to their higher-ups.


    He was the first participant toplete the blueprint design in this exchange conference. Aplishing this in two days was no small feat even for a six-star or seven-star master cksmith.


    Yet, Wu Mo hadpleted it so quickly. It was inevitable that the participating judges would be alerted.


    They were all true masters from the Nine Provinces'' cksmith Association. They were busy people, but it would be an overstatement to say that they were extremely busy every day. They could still take the time to judge thepetition because the association attached great importance to the exchange conference. At the same time, this conference was also a chance for them to rest.


    "Oh? Someonepleted the blueprint design so soon?"


    The seven-star master cksmith of the cksmith Association, Lin Xiangyun, was a middle-aged man in his 50s. Right then, he was holding a cup of tea and ying chess with his old friend.


    His old friend was also a seven-star cksmith, but he was a slightly plump old man with a bald head and e. He looked rather slovenly, and his eyes were fixed on the chessboard. He waspletely unmoved by the news he just received.


    "Old Gu, don''t even think about it. You''ve already lost. There''s no turning back!"


    The bald man''s eyes shed with anger when he heard this. "You must have cheated and switched my chess pieces when I wasn''t paying attention. Otherwise, I wouldn''t have lost!"


    There was a look of disdain in Lin Xiangyun''s eyes. After he drank another mouthful of tea, he said, "I don''t care anymore. I''m going to see who came up with a design blueprint so quickly."


    As he spoke, he stood up and made his way to the surveince room.


    Gu Shan seemed to realize that he could no longer turn things around. He let out a long helpless sigh and cursed in a low voice, "I''ll y you again in the future¡­"


    Before he finished that trail of thought, he stood up, raised his small face, and shouted, "Old Lin, wait for me! You''ll get bored going there alone. Besides, it''s already been two days. Those little guys should have produced some results by now. What''s so strange about that?"


    Lin Xiangyun ignored him and went straight to the surveince room.


    Soon, he saw Wu Mo''spleted design through the surveince screen.


    "Oh? From the looks of it, this drawing isn''t bad. I wonder who the participant in this room is?"


    "This is Wu Mo from White River. He''s a peak five-star cksmith," a staff member hurriedly said.


    "Does he have any famous works?"


    "Yes! Recently, the Invisibility Armor and Spirit Wave Sword that he developed achieved good results."


    Lin Xiangyun nodded. These two pieces of equipment sounded familiar, but he did not have a deep impression of them. It was obvious that they were either not famous yet, or their functions were just ordinary.


    He could not see the details of Wu Mo''s design through the design. He could vaguely tell that it was a shuttle-shaped contraption, but he could not determine its specific use.

 Chapter 406 Trial Production Completed

    At this moment, Gu Shan looked over at the blueprint as well and curiously said," This kid''s design is pretty strange. How interesting!"


    Just like Lin Xiangyun, he could not see the details, but based on his experience, he guessed it was an equipment type that could carry people.


    "Hey, this kid is done drawing. Why didn''t he hand his blueprint over?" Gu Shan looked at the screen in confusion. After Wu Mo finished drawing, he went back to his bed andy down. Then, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.


    "Maybe he''s too tired from drawing the blueprint and he wants to rest first!" Lin Xiangyunughed. After all, an ordinary cksmith can''t simply draw a blueprint in two days. On top of that, there can''t be any mistakes in his drawing process, so it''ll definitely consume a lot of energy."


    "That''s true! However, the young cksmiths of today have never experienced the most dangerous and chaotic era. As soon as they start, they put all their energy into forging. They don''t think about it. If they don''t have enough strength, their forging path won''t be far. This kid''s body is so weak. If he encounters an enemy, he''ll be useless!"


    Lin Xiangyun obviously did not agree with Gu Shan''s point of view. "You can''t put it that way. After all, a person''s energy is limited. There are special areas in every field. If one wants to cultivate and study forging at the same time, one might not be able to do anything well when one''s energy is scattered. How can one stand out from countless cksmiths then?" he retorted.


    "Fine!" Gu Shan said angrily. "These cultivators have stood out, but they''ve missed the best time to cultivate. All of them are weak and have probably never even been on the battlefield. They have never faced fierce beasts and foreign races. It''s hard to be at ease when you''re relying on equipment forged by cksmiths like them, who have nobat experience."


    In the surveince room, everyone''s expressions were wooden as they listened to the big shots debate. It was as if they had suddenly be mannequins.


    The two seven-star master cksmiths had conflicting ideologies when it came to equipment manufacturing. Not to mention, there was the factional dispute between the transcendent system and the technology system that had recently spread within the association.


    It looked like a peaceful debate, but who knew how far it would go in the future.


    This was not something they should have heard, but now, it was being forced into their ears. They could not refuse to listen.


    "Let''s go! Since this blueprint won''t be handed in for the time being, there''s no need to look at it. We''ll talk about it when it''s submitted." Lin Xiangyun had found it surprising at first, but unexpectedly, nothing else happened beyond that.


    "I wonder what Old Zhang and Old Liu are busy with. I haven''t seen them for the past two days. This is a mission arranged by the association. Can''t those two guys be more serious?"


    "Ahem! Thanks to that incident, their rtionship has been pretty tense. They refuse toe out and see each other, so they''re hiding in their rooms!"


    When Gu Shan heard this, he immediately understood.


    At the end of the day, it was still a battle between systems and ideals.


    Of these two, Old Zhang supported the technology system, while Old Liu supported the transcendent system. During a meeting two days ago, the two of them had a huge argument. Their words were harsh, and they got close to fighting.


    "Sigh! What''s going on?!"


    ...


    It looked like Wu Mo had fallen asleep on the bed again after he finished his blueprint. In reality, his consciousness had entered the forging space and begun the process of forging the underground shuttle with the help of virtual materials.


    Ten days would be enough for him to forge the shuttle two or three times. It would be familiar enough to him after once and twice. The most difficult part was the first time. After that, he would be able to work faster and faster.


    However, the job of a cksmith was not all about carrying a hammer and forging. After Wu Mo reflected on it, he had a new understanding of the profession.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    In the novels from his previous life, those in the same position were considered cksmiths of a cultivation world.


    After all, a true Divine weapon definitely did not only rely on materials. It also relied on even more profound extraordinary knowledge to support it.


    The transcendent system had declined so much because there had been ack of such extraordinary knowledge.


    To forge a one-star Divine weapon of the lowest grade in the past, one just needed to insert the most basic array andpletely fuse it with the materials. Even if the thing forged was trash, it would still be a one-star Divine weapon.


    However, at present, this process had been reced by modern technology. This caused the development and research of extraordinary arrays tog behind. They could no longer keep up with the development of Divine weapons.


    Although it seemed that technology could now rece arrays and restrictions, fuse with supernatural beings, and develop Divine weapons that belonged solely to human civilization, the development and research of Divine weapons had deviated from the original path. No one knew what would happen in the end.


    The current equipment created by the fusion of technology and transcendent powers barely allowed humans to defend themselves. They could not deliver any counterattacks.


    Every year, countless humans would be killed by the foreign races and beasts on the battlefield of Ten Thousand Races. This made many people anxious and dissatisfied.


    This was also the real reason why conversation revolving around the two systems and ideals was growing tense.


    After all, humans were still unable to gain enough strategic advantage after spending plenty of resources, time, and effort to create equipment. Instead, they were being killed by the foreign races from time to time. Anyone would be suspicious.


    Therefore, Wu Mo used arrays to forge equipment. This way, it would be faster, and the equipment would be more powerful. Furthermore, there would be a lower failure rate, and the equipment would be more malleable.


    The only drawback was that it could not be mass-produced.


    Even if the same cksmith used the same materials and techniques to forge two pieces of equipment, there would definitely be some differences.


    This was due to the forging process, whether it was the smelting of materials, the timing of the formation, or the influence of various factors.


    Even if Wu Mo had the Divine Forging Space, the equipment forged in there would not be exactly the same. He could only try to minimize the difference between them.


    For example, Wu Mo had already forged a pair of boots that increased his speed. If he were to forge another pair now, this new pair might increase his speed by a little more because he was now familiar with its build.


    It might seem like a small difference, but on the battlefield, it was the difference between life and death.


    In the blink of an eye, three days passed, and Wu Mopleted his first forging.


    During this process, he made more than ten mistakes, corrected them, found the causes, and understood them. Finally, he forged the earth-burrowing shuttle that the Divine cksmith System simted for him.


    Wu Mo did not continue beyond that. Instead, hey on the ground and fell asleep. He only woke up a dayter.


    On the fifth and sixth day, it only took him a day and a half topletely forge the underground shuttle. This time, there were no mistakes in the entire process.

 Chapter 407 Get Him To Hand In His Paper In Advance

    However, the system did not give him a high score. He barely passed. The main reason was, although there were no mistakes that affected the equipment''s entire structure, many details were not handled properly.


    Even so, the process of inserting the array restrictions into this Divine equipment was at least much easier than the process of integrating it into the technological system in the past.


    At this point, Wu Mo did not n on forging the shuttle a third time. After all, if he appeared to be too familiar with it in thepetition, it would seem a little suspicious.


    Although the questions had all been set and verified by the association, hence no one could cheat, there was no need toplicate things.


    He had even thought about it. When it came to forging equipment, he would definitely slow down and pay more attention to the details, but he could not go too far.


    He believed that he could not guarantee his spot as thepetition''s winner, but he should have no problem getting into the top three.


    Divine-grade materials were good, but if one had the time to earn money, one had to have time to spend it as well. Who knew how many people would covet Divine-grade materials?


    He was in someone else''s territory, so who knew what would happen?


    Lack of preparation led to failure!


    Sometimes, it was better to prepare for the worst and then try your best.


    If one was targeted, the oue would be very different depending on how prepared one was.


    Wu Mo waved his hand, and the underground shuttle that he had created disappeared.


    There were still three to four days left. He stopped forging equipment and continued studying books on basic arrays and restrictions.


    Just by looking at the real world, one would know how precious extraordinary legacies were. Since he had this opportunity, why not study things in depth?


    In fact, he had also thought about organizing the books he had read and the knowledge he had learned. He wanted to spread it so that more people could master it and improve the Nine Provinces'' ability to fight foreign races and ferocious beasts.


    However, there was a prerequisite for this. He had to ensure that he would not be in danger as a result. He did not want to sacrifice himself for others.


    After all, he had not reached a desperate situation where it was toote to do anything. As long as he could grow quickly and gain enough strength and status, no matter how many unbelievable things he took out, no one would question their origin.


    On the contrary, with insufficient strength now, it would be foolish to produce something that shocked countless people.


    Therefore, before Wu Mo''s strength increased, he would not spread the extraordinary knowledge he had.


    At this moment, all the participants were on their final sprint, and they had begun to officiallyplete their blueprints. All of them were working in their rooms, and no one came out to stroll around.


    Meanwhile, Wu Mo was tired from reading. After walking around for a while, he made some food and returned to his room. After a short rest, he continued reading while waiting for the deadline.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    However, in the eyes of the surveince staff, his actions were very strange. He had clearlypleted his blueprint design, but he had not submitted it. He was also lying in his room and sleeping leisurely. Compared with the other busy individuals in the surveince footage, he stood out like a sore thumb.


    As the end of the first part of thepetition approached, the four judges sent by the association finally arrived.


    These four people did not show up at all on the first day of the opening ceremony. It was obvious that they did not like to lock themselves away from worldly affairs.


    "That kid still hasn''t handed in his blueprint?" Lin Xiangyun asked curiously.


    "Yes, Master Lin! Wu Mo has been lying in bed sleeping ever since he finished. He suddenly woke up not long ago and came out to take a walk. After making some food, he went back andy down again."


    When Gu Shan heard this, he could not help but chuckle, "It''s obvious that this kid doesn''t take the conference seriously! I don''t know if it''s because he has a n or because he''spletely ruined his blueprint, but he has piqued my curiosity!"


    The seating arrangements of the four masters were carefully arranged. Lin Xiangyun and Gu Shan sat in the middle, while Zhang Chunyang and Liu Yu sat next to them. They were separated by a distance.


    Obviously, the people from the association were also worried that the two of them would cause some trouble at this exchange meeting. That would be truly embarrassing.


    Aside from these four masters, there were eight seven-star cultivators hidden in a slightly more secluded ce. This was to protect the four Divine master cksmiths just in case.


    Master Zhang Chunyang was an old man with white hair and a schrly aura. He looked serious and rigid, with a meticulous temperament.


    Master Liu Yu wasn''t young either. He was about 60 years old. His face was wrinkled, but his eyes were exremely bright. The aura on his body was also rtively strong. It was very likely that his cultivation was not weak either.


    The two of them listened to the conversation between Lin Xiangyun and Gu Shan. Zhang Chunyang nodded and said, "If it''s really as you say, then this young man isn''t bad. He''s neither arrogant nor impatient, and he''s very calm. He''ll definitely be a good seedling among cksmiths in the future."


    Liu Yu seemed to go against Zhang Chunyang. He sang on opposite tune and sneered, "Hmph, I can guess what kind of person that kid is from your description. I''m afraid that his heart is filled with dark thoughts. He thinks that if he hands over the results too quickly, he will appear too dazzling and attract all kinds of attention. He might even attract jealousy and hostility from others, so he is deliberately hiding it."


    After he said this, he paused for a moment and continued, "Although this idea can''t be wrong, this exchange conference is prepared for young people. Young people should be sharp, aggressive, and courageous. But look at this guy. He''s hiding his strength and biding his time. He looks like a coward. He definitely won''t have a future!"


    When Lin Xiangyun and Gu Shan heard the two of them, they could not help but exchange looks and reveal a helpless bitter smile.


    Lin Xiangyun shook his head and said, "Hey, both of you, stop it. This is thepetition venue. If the two of you continue to be like this when the participantse outter, how bad would it be if word got out? We''re not talking about just the people from the Red Heart province. All the top cksmiths from the Nine Provinces are here. Do you want to lose face all over the country?"


    Zhang Chunyang and Liu Yu did not say anything else, and Lin Xiangyun kept quiet.


    Looking at the time, thepetition would be over in less than two hours.


    However, Gu Shan was an impatient person. It would be really difficult for him to sit there for two hours.


    Therefore, he turned around and called a staff member over. "Go to White River province''s Room 5, knock on the door, and enter. If he asks, just say that we''ve watched him though the surveince camera and seen that he''s done. So, ask him to hand in his paper in advance!"

 Chapter 408 Conflict

    The staff member was in a difficult position. This was not in line with the rules, but since the master cksmith had spoken, it did not seem like he could refuse.


    Lin Xiangyun waved his hand. "Just take care of it. If anything happens, we''ll bear the responsibility together!"


    "Very well! I''ll go now!"


    Seeing that two master cksmiths were vouching for him, the staff member immediately put down all his worries and turned to leave.


    Soon, the staff arrived outside Wu Mo''s room and knocked on the door.


    Wu Mo was studying in the system''s forging space, and he frowned when he heard the knock. Why would someone knock on the door at this time? Was it time toplete the blueprint design?


    He checked and figured that it was about time.


    After all, he could not rush to finish it, so he needed to have some extra time.


    Thinking of this, his consciousness returned, and he opened his eyes.


    He got out of bed and went to the door, but he did not open it immediately. "Who is it?" he asked.


    "Is this Mr. Wu Mo? Earlier, the two master cksmiths, Lin Xiangyun and Gu Shan, mentioned that you''ve finished your blueprint design. They saw it through the surveince system. They''re hoping that you can submit the blueprint now so that they can review it in advance."


    Wu Mo was slightly taken aback. He raised his head a little to look at the surveince camera above his head, and he was somewhat speechless.


    Perhaps because he had been too focused, but he had actually forgotten about this.


    "Alright then! Wait a moment!"


    Wu Mo turned around and walked to the workbench. After examining the blueprint for a while, he rolled it up and stuffed it into a sleeve. Then, he sealed it with tape and left a mark on the joint before signing it.


    It was his special precautionary measure to prevent the blueprints from being torn apart halfway, swapped, or destroyed.


    He did this in front of the surveince cameras, and the process was meticulous. If anything really happened, it would be the association''s problem and it would have nothing to do with him.


    After he was done, he went to the door and opened it. He handed the roll in his hand to the staff and said, "Please send it over!"


    Wu Mo watched as the staff left with the roll and closed the door. He continued reading his book. He was not curious about what kind of evaluation his blueprint would receive.


    On the other side, Lin Xiangyun, Gu Shan, and the other three saw the blueprint that was brought back. They could not help but exchange looks when they saw the sleeve and signature on it.


    They could see that the participant was no simpleton based on this small detail.


    "Let''s open it and take a look! If the design doesn''t stand out, this whole thing will be a joke!" Zhang Chunyang said as he revealed a curious expression.


    Lin Xiangyun was the first to open the sleeve. He took out the blueprint and observed it with great focus.


    It was not that Wu Mo''s design was outstanding because he could not spot anything from a cursory nce.


    However, it was obvious that his design waspletely based on the knowledge of the transcendent system and did not involve any modern technology. This was unprecedented.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    There was a huge difference between the technology system and the transcendent system. One could tell at a nce, so Lin Xiangyun''s eyes zoomed in first.


    Next to him, Gu Shan''s expression also changed as he said, "Boy, you''re bold to do this!"


    It was hard to tell if they were words of praise or sarcasm.


    Zhang Chunyang had stood up and walked over at this point. There was a drastic change in his expression, and his eyes were filled with uncontroble rage. "What a rebellious brat. Does he think that he''s better than everyone else in the world? This is simply preposterous! I suggest that this design be given a zero and not allowed to pass!"


    "Bah! Old Zhang, this is the cksmith Association, not your academic conference where you can give zero marks whenever you like. If you still have any dignity, you should realize that we''re judging whether this design is eptable and whether it meets the conditions that we''ve set in advance. We''re not asking you toe here to form factions. Hurry up and save your breath!"


    "Liu Yu, you¡­" Zhang Chunyang was furious, but he really did not know how to retort.


    After all, the association had set the questions in advance to prevent the judges from evaluating the cksmiths based on their personal emotions. Otherwise, there would not have been a need to go through so much trouble. They could just give the cksmiths the question on the day and let all of them forge together.


    However, doing so would not encourage any exchange and reflect the cksmiths'' skills. Hence, they had the idea of choosing the questions and topics in advance.


    In addition, the association had indeed been in chaos recently. The sounds of people debating were endless, so they took some preventive measures.


    Zhang Chunyang was so angry that he panted heavily. He red at Liu Yu fiercely. If looks could kill, Liu Yu would have died several times by now.


    However, Liu Yu was not afraid at all. He even had a faint sneer on his face.


    "Old Zhang, don''t think that I have no idea what you people are nning! Are you foolish? Is he foolish? Neither of you are. You all know which path you should take, but you''re unwilling to admit it for your own self-interest."


    Liu Yu seemed to be letting it all out. When Lin Xiangyun and Gu Shan saw how bad things were, they quickly approached the two to separate them.


    Gu Shan advised, "Sigh, what are you all arguing about?! It''s just a child''s choice. Why are the both of you arguing? It''s not worth it!"


    Lin Xiangyun added, "Everyone is here to be a judge. Just follow the rules. If you have any opinions or thoughts, keep them to yourself. We can talk about itter when we go back! "


    He noticed that as the deadline approached, many cksmiths had begun to push open their room doors and walk over.


    When they saw themotion, not only did the cksmiths not walk away, but they also rushed over with excitement in their eyes. Once they were a certain distance away, they stopped as if they were watching a show.


    How could he let this be? If this matter got out of hand here, it would really embarrass the association.


    However, he could not chase the cksmiths away. Lin Xiangyun could not do anything even if he wanted to settle the matter right then.


    Zhang Chunyang seemed to be provoked as well. "Liu, you better tell me clearly what you mean by personal gain. I''ve been contributing to the country for so many years. Aside from the treatment that the country has given me, what personal gain have I ever enjoyed? If you don''t tell me why today, I''ll beat you to death!" he roared.


    "You think I''m afraid of you?" Liu Yuughed. I''ll tell you! Since there are so many people here, they can be my witness and see if I''m right!"


    Lin Xiangyun was extremely anxious. "Liu Yu, do you realize where we are? When did you get so emotional? Is this something you should say here? Do you want to throw the entire association into chaos?" he said angrily.


    When Liu Yu heard this, he hesitated slightly. He nced at Zhang Chunyang''s look of defiance and sneered, "As long as Zhang Chunyang gives this design an impartial score, I''ll pretend that I didn''t say anything today!"

 Chapter 409 Review Score

    Right then, he suddenly realized that this was indeed not the ce to quarrel. Whether he won or lost, the association''s internal discord would be exposed. Hostile forces might even learn about it and use it against them.


    He was incredibly unhappy, but he was willing to take a step back for the greater good.


    Seeing that Liu Yu had been appeased, Lin Xiangyun quickly spoke to Zhang Chunyang. "Old Zhang, don''t forget our duty here!"


    Zhang Chunyang red at Liu Yu and said, "I''ll let you off the hook this time!"


    "I believe that we should judge without bias," Liu Yu said coldly. "We''ll continue our discussion when we get back!"


    Zhang Chunyang''s expression grew even colder and darker. He opened his mouth to say something, but Lin Xiangyun pinched his arm fiercely.


    Lin Xiangyun knew what Liu Yu wanted to say. In fact, many people knew deep down, but no one said it out loud.


    If such things were said in front of the younger generation of cksmiths, it would be too embarrassing.


    They were all seven-star master cksmiths. If they did not remain levelheaded, they would not be able to face the young cksmiths with dignity.


    Meanwhile, Wu Mo noticed that time was almost up. He pushed open the door and walked toward the center of the venue.


    However, as soon as he arrived, he sensed that the atmosphere was a little strange. It seemed a little too tense.


    Yet, hispetitors'' eyes were filled with anticipation. Why did they appear so excited? It was the new year, but there was no need to be that excited, right?


    As he swept his gaze around, he spotted Xu Wanqing standing not far away. Gan Yun, Liu Ze, and Chen Qingbai were also there, so he hurried over.


    "What''s going on? Why does the atmosphere feel a little off?" Wu Mo approached Xu Wanqing and asked.


    Xu Wanqing did not even look at Wu Mo as she excitedly said, "Master Zhang Chunyang and Master Liu Yu almost got into a fight just now! Sadly, Master Lin Xiangyun stopped him immediately and tried to persuade him otherwise. No one knows what he said, but it looked like they were trying to judge a blueprint. Maybe that''s why they were arguing. I wonder who handed in their blueprint so soon and caused such a huge controversy!"


    Hearing this, Wu Mo''s heart skipped a beat. He was 90% sure that the blueprint was his.


    He looked at the stage and saw that the masters had already unfolded the blueprint. His sleeve and seal were still on the table. He was almost 100% sure that the judges were looking at his blueprint.


    However, the four of them had different expressions on their faces.


    Master Zhang Chunyang looked at the blueprint with an extremely serious gaze. There was even a hint of coldness and rejection in his eyes. On the other hand, Master Lin Xiangyun''s gaze was cautious with a hint of doubt. Master Gu Shan''s eyes were filled with excitement and joy, while Master Liu Yu''s face was filled with surprise.


    The masters had different expressions, but none of them raised their heads. They kept their heads lowered and remained focused.


    The contents of this blueprint were not difficult to understand, but there were many iprehensible aspects.


    They appeared contradictory andplementary at the same time.


    It was not difficult for them to understand the functions of the equipment that the blueprint represented. However, what they did not understand was the many details about the arrays and restrictions. Although they could catch a small part of it, they could not understand further.


    Gu Shan was excited, Liu Yu was surprised, and Lin Xiangyun was puzzled.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Although Gu Shan appeared to be neutral, he was actually the one who had gone further in the transcendent system. Therefore, he had the deepest understanding of the transcendent knowledge that had been applied to the blueprint. Therefore, he was both excited and happy.


    "This design is a real work of genius! With the Underground Shuttle, this participant can meet the conditions in the question that he was given earlier. There''s going to be an ambush up ahead, pursuers at the back, alien races in the sky, and Demon Hounds chasing after them. Under such circumstances, the only way left is to burrow underground. Earlier on, I actually said that this question might be a little too much. I didn''t expect this kid to solve it. The younger generation is truly formidable!"


    Gu Shan did not hold back with his evaluation. His eyes were filled with praise, and he did not hide it at all.


    Liu Yu nced at Zhang Chunyang and asked, "Old Zhang, what''s your evaluation? "


    Zhang Chunyang was expressionless at the moment, and he replied in an extremely calm tone, "In terms of creativity, it''s mediocre, and it has no spirit power. It meets the requirements of the question, so he passes, but that''s about it. Sixty points!"


    When Liu Yu heard this, he did not appear pleased. Just as he was about to speak, Lin Xiangyun interrupted him, "This design mainly utilizes knowledge of the transcendent system, especially when ites to the restriction array. It''s mysterious and unfathomable, so I think he deserves at least 95 points!"


    Gu Shan nodded as well and said, "If you ask me, I would give him 99 points! He''s not getting that one remaining point because I''m afraid that he''ll be full of himself!"


    Liu Yu looked at Zhang Chunyang and said, "What''s the matter? If you still insist on 60 points¡ª"


    "What do you mean 60 points? Couldn''t you tell that Old Zhang was just saying that out of anger? Old Zhang is going to give him 90 points. Do you have any objections, Old Zhang?"


    Lin Xiangyun had put in a lot of effort to protect the association''s reputation.


    Zhang Chunyang kept quiet this time. He did not agree or object, and that indicated his agreement to the score.


    "Hmph!" Liu Yu snorted coldly. "I''ll give this blueprint 100 points because even I''m not well-versed with many arrays and restrictions. It''s obvious that the transcendent system is beyond my understanding."


    Although the four of them were already seven-star master cksmiths, there were still things that they did not know. None of them pretended to know what they didn''t know.


    "Alright, since the scores have been decided, let''sbine the four scores and take the average score, which is 96 points. However, this score can only be counted after the equipment is forged and confirmed to be usable. Otherwise, it''ll be invalid, and your score will be 0. How about it?" Lin Xiangyun said decisively.


    "No problem!"


    "It''s agreed then!"


    "Good!"


    Lin Xiangyun finally came to a realization. He felt that it was more tiring than forging a piece of Divide-grade equipment. However, he was relieved that they managed to resolve the matter like that.


    "That''s it. Let the other participantse to us and hand in their designs! The four of us will take turns cross-examining them!"


    Lin Xiangyun really wanted to end thepetition as soon as possible so that Zhang Chunyang and Liu Yu would not remember having a conflict again.


    Gu Shan chuckled and did not care about this at all. He only reluctantly rolled up Wu Mo''s design and kept it in the roll.


    When the participants below saw that there was nothing more exciting to watch, they could not help but feel a little disappointed. However, they still hurried over and handed in their designs.

 Chapter 410 Invitation To Battle

    There were less than 20 minutes before the end of the first section, and some cksmiths had yet to finish drawing their designs. There were also people walking out of their forging rooms quickly.


    Xu Wanqing and the other three went forward to hand in their designs. Their eyes were filled with anxiety and anticipation.


    Once the countdown ended not long after and all the cksmiths had submitted their designs, the official in charge went on stage and gathered the cksmiths together.


    "The first part of thepetition has ended. Today, everyone can go back and rest for the night. The second part of thepetition will begin tomorrow morning. When the timees, the association will provide you with sufficient materials to turn your design into reality. As long as your design passes the inspection after it''s forged, the materials will belong to you. Otherwise, your respective province will bear the cost of the materials. Do you understand?"


    "Understood!"


    There were only some sparse responses from the cksmiths below the stage.


    However, the person in charge did not mind and continued, "For the equipment forged, the association will reward you for your sess. But if you don''t pass, failure topensate us for the materials will be met with punishment. I hope that everyone goes all out to make greater contributions to the Nine Provinces. Dismissed!"


    After the person in charge finished speaking, he turned around and left. He ignored everyone else.


    Wu Mo and the others were nning to turn around and leave too when someone nearby suddenly shouted, "Wu Mo!"


    When Wu Mo heard the voice, his heart skipped a beat. "He''s finally here!"


    Turning around, he saw Chu Qingyan and a few cksmiths from the Red Heart province walking over.


    Many cksmiths close by noticed the unfriendly expressions that Chu Qingyan and his gang had. They immediately stopped in their tracks and turned to look.


    "You know someone here?" Xu Wanqing asked.


    "Maybe. I''m too famous. People know me, but I don''t know them." Wu Mo shook his head.


    Xu Wanqing thought about it seriously and quickly shook her head. "Impossible! Your reputation in the White River province isn''t even as great as mine!"


    Wu Mo was a little speechless. This girl sometimes took things too seriously, but she was actually a little cute.


    Chu Qingyan and the others had just walked over when they heard the conversation between Wu Mo and Xu Wanqing. The aura that they had umted suddenly became unstable.


    Did this guy think that they were there because they admired him? As the hosts of thepetition, were the cksmiths of the Red Heart province that unimpressive?


    Chu Qingyan knew that Wu Mo had said that on purpose. Even so, he still could not help but feel angry.


    "Hmph! Wu Mo, I thought you''d be better, but who knew that you''d still be such a wisecrack. Are you afraid?"


    "Could you introduce yourself first?" Wu Mo asked, somewhat speechless. I don''t know all of you that well. I don''t like how you''reing up to me with such animosity!"


    "F*ck! Who the hell are you? Why should I do what you like?"


    A man in his 30s was standing next to Chu Qingyan, and he was enraged. They were all there to participate in the exchange conference. One needed to at least be a five-star cksmith to meet the minimum requirements for selection. Everyone there was just as good as the other, so why did they have to act like lords?


    Xu Wanqing had been a little puzzled at first, but when she saw how rudely the man spoke, she red at him and angrily said, "Who are you? I don''t like you, so why are you still standing here? Are you looking for a beating?"


    The man''s face turned red from the insult, especially since it came from a woman. The fire in his heart burned even more.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Chu Qingyan quickly reached out and pressed him on the shoulder. Then, he looked at Wu Mo and said, "Wu Mo, you clearly know who I am. Thanks to you, I left the White River province. Now that we''re face to face again, I won''t y games. I''m just here to ask if you''re brave enough to have a match with me!"


    "A match?" Wu Mo said lightly. "What kind of match? Everyone gets a different topic at the conference. Aside from the scores we get from a few master cksmiths, there''s basically noparison. If we''re battling in terms of rankings, then forget it. Not only is it boring, but I have no desire to bully you either!"


    Looking at Wu Mo''s calm demeanor, it was obvious that he did not take Chu Qingyan seriously. This made Chu Qingyan even angrier.


    However, to achieve his goal, he suppressed his anger.


    "Of course, we won''t battle during the exchange conference. We can wait until it''s over before wepete!" Chu Qingyan suggested. How about that?"


    "No, thank you! If I participate in the exchange conference and get a good ranking, there will be rewards. My return trip''s going to be covered too. What good will it do for me topete with you?"


    "What benefits are you looking for?" To achieve his goal, Chu Qingyan gritted his teeth and asked.


    Wu Mo raised his eyebrows as he had a bad feeling about this.


    Although he did not encounter Chu Qingyan a lot and did not know much about him, judging from his style of doing things, he was not personable. However, he was patient, and it seemed like he would not give up until he achieved his goal. This made others doubt his motives.


    Thinking back to what this fellow had previously done, one could seen that he was a selfish person. The fact that he had been holding this grudge for such a long meant that he was probably up to something big.


    When Wu Mo thought about how the entire journey had been peaceful and quiet, and how there had been no sign of trouble in the White River province , and how the outsiders had not done anything, he felt an even more ominous feeling.


    Something had to be wrong if things were abnormal!


    If he epted Chu Qingyan''s invitation, what would happen?


    With so many people nearby, the battle between them might attract manypetitors from other provinces. Even if not all of them came, at least half of them woulde.


    No matter what kind of match it was, people from the other provinces would not mind watching the show if they had a chance. They could even learn something useful from the match.


    Therefore, if he agreed to battle him, he might actually attract a lot of people to attend.


    If there were any idents, there would be casualties without any official organization or defense around.


    If outsiders had invested a little more capital into their attacks and colluded with Chu Qingyan, it would not be impossible for them to kill everyone present.


    Therefore, Wu Mo''s thoughts raced as he came up with some unbelievable but possible scenarios.


    He looked at Chu Qingyan, who had betrayed the White River province. Was he going to betray the human race and the Nine Provinces now?


    These thoughts shed through Wu Mo''s mind in the blink of an eye.


    "That depends on whether you''re sincere or not! If you''re sincere enough, I don''t mind having a duel with you to teach you a lesson!"


    "Ha, ha¡­" Chu Qingyan seemed to be angered by Wu Mo''s words. "Fine! I won''t be stingy. I''ll bet you one set of Divine-grade materials. How about it?"

 Chapter 411 The Bet

    "That''s not enough!" Wu Mo shook his head. Although I don''t know if I can win thepetition in this exchange conference, I''m still confident that I can make it to the top three! Things like Divine-grade materials invite jealousy, and with limited energy, I can only dig the bottom of the barrel for any opportunity or inspiration."


    Chu Qingyan really felt that Wu Mo was being sneaky. He gritted his teeth and said, "Just state your conditions!"


    "Three seven-star Crystal Cores!"


    "Gasp!"


    Sounds of people gasping could be heard nearby almost instantly.


    In this world, the bodies of foreign races produced Crystal Cores. The higher the level, the more precious it was. This material was top-notch.


    The value of a seven-star Crystal Core was no less than any Divine-grade material.


    This was especially true for high-level Crystal Cores. They were rare because the stronger the foreign species, the harder it was to kill them. In a situation where they were on the verge of death, they would usually choose to destroy their core themselves.


    Therefore, low-level Crystal Cores were fine, but the higher the level, the rarer they were.


    However, such high-level Crystal Cores were not rare to the non-humans. There would always be different races dying from various reasons. After a long time, all the different races had arge amount of Crystal Core reserves.


    After all, these Crystal Cores were precious resources for the non-humans too. They could be used to nurture their descendants.


    Chu Qingyan''s face darkened as he angrily said, "High-level Crystal Cores are extremely rare. How am I supposed to get them?"


    "Then forget it! I don''tck Divine-grade materials, and you won''t be able to provide anything that interests me. Thispetition is just a meaningless farce, so why waste time?"


    Chu Qingyan stared at Wu Mo as if he was trying to see through him.


    However, Wu Mo''s calm and unperturbed appearance made him seem even more unpredictable.


    Chu Qingyan thought to himself, ''This guy can''t possibly know my n. Right now, I''m the only one who knows the exact n. So, Wu Mo is simply using this method to make me back off!''


    After he came to this conclusion in his heart, Chu Qingyan secretly sent his guest away. He was really afraid that Wu Mo was on to something.


    Since Wu Mo had declined his invitation, he could only offer him something that he was interested in. That way, Wu Mo could not find any excuse to refuse.


    The Crystal Cores of high-level foreign races were indeed rare, but it should not be a difficult task to obtain a few.


    He took a deep breath and quickly went over his n again. Then, he nodded and said, "Alright, since you''ve raised your conditions, I''ll fulfill them even if I have to sell everything. I have to prove that I''m stronger than you. Otherwise, I won''t be able to ept the fact that you caused me to be exiled from the White River province!"


    A murderous intent shed across Wu Mo''s eyes when he heard this.


    He had not been too sure about it earlier. Now, it seemed that there was a 90% chance that this guy wanted to murder him, or even more cksmiths from the Nine Provinces.


    However, he could not be entirely certain before he had solid evidence.


    "Looks like I have to make more preparations in the next few days!"


    As he thought about this, he looked at Chu Qingyan and asked, "Are you saying that you agree to my conditions? We''re talking about high-level seven-star Crystal Cores, each of which represents a top-notch expert of a different race. You might not even be able to purchase them with money."


    Chu Qingyan sneered, "There''s no need to say anything more. I obviously have my own connections and channels. Just tell me whether you ept the challenge or not!"


    Wu Mo did not respond immediately and pretended to hesitate instead.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Xu Wanqing sensed that something was wrong too. "Wu Mo,e on, don''tpete with him. We have to return to the White River province immediately after the exchange conference ends. There won''t be enough time!" she advised.


    Chu Qingyan saw Xu Wanqing stepping forward to ruin things, and he immediately said, "Our match won''t take much time at all. After the exchange conference ends, we can find a random spot to battle. Are you afraid, Wu Mo?"


    Wu Mo''s expression changed slightly, and he snorted coldly. "Would I ever be afraid of you? Alright, I ept!"


    Chu Qingyan''s anxious heart instantly calmed down, and a hint of excitement shed across his eyes.


    However, Wu Mo added, "But¡­"


    "Hmm?" Chu Qingyan''s heart jumped again. "But what?"


    "You have to produce three Crystal Cores first and verify their authenticity. Get a third party to verify them as well. Who knows what will happen if I win and you go back on your word?"


    Chu Qingyan had already nned this for a while. As long as he could trick Wu Mo and the others into getting caught by the local officials, it would not matter if he failed to fulfill his end of the bargain.


    However, he did not expect Wu Mo toe up with his current suggestion, and it made him feel a little ufortable.


    If Wu Mo never thought about it, he would not have to contact those people. He could then reduce the risk of exposing himself. But now, it seemed that he still had to take the risk.


    He gritted his teeth and said, "Alright!" The second round of the conference will begin tomorrow, and the time limit should be three days. Once it ends, I''ll ask the people from the Red Heart province''s Notary Office toe forward and verify them. Is that fine?"


    "Ask the notary to do it?" Wu Mo shook his head. I don''t think that''s a good idea. I have a simple and convenient way, but I don''t know if you''re willing to go along with it!"


    "Spit it out!"


    "We still have nearly 20 hours from now till tomorrow morning. There''s enough time for you to contact yourwork. If you get the items in the morning, we''ll go to the Nine Provinces Bank together and deposit the items there. Then, we''ll sign an agreement with the bank. When the timees, we''ll ask them to send someone to determine the winner of our match. After that, the winner can withdraw the Crystal Cores. What do you think about that?"


    "We''ll do as you say!" Chu Qingyan snorted coldly. I''ll see you at the bank tomorrow morning at eight o''clock!"


    After he said that, he turned around impatiently and left with his men.


    Wu Mo, Xu Wanqing, and the rest could hear someone beside Chu Qingyan remind him, "You''re at a disadvantage in this match. Why don''t you ask Wu Mo to produce the items? If he loses, he won''t lose anything, but if he wins, he''ll get three seven-star Crystal Cores. This bet is too unfair. "


    Seeing Chu Qingyan and the others walk away, Xu Wanqing said," You asked for three seven-star Crystal Cores on purpose to make that man back off, right?"


    Wu Mo really wanted to tell Xu Wanqing that he had a different reason. However, there was no way to exin it. Everything was just a guess in his heart. Before he could confirm the entire plot, everything remained up in the air.


    "This guy colluded with the forces of the Red Heart province to steal technology and resources. After I reported him, he escaped from the White River province, so he really hates me. He won''t stop until he gets what he wants, so I naturally have to make it difficult for him. I can''t let him achieve his goals that easily!"


    Xu Wanqing revealed a look of understanding when she heard this.


    Behind him, Gan Yun, Liu Ze, and Chen Qingbai exchanged looks and said nothing. However, they had already made up their minds toe and take a look tomorrow.


    The group returned to the hotel by car. After dinner, they went back to their rooms to rest.


    Guan Hu and the others had carefully checked the hotel rooms, so they were not worried about being spied on via hidden cameras. With that, Wu Mo entered the Divine Forging Space.


    A dozen hours in the outside world gave him about seven or eight days in the forging space. That was enough to do many things.

 Chapter 412 Cultivation And Breakthrough

    Wu Mo was still very cautious about the match after the exchange conference.


    Although he was not entirely sure that Chu Qingyan was working with the foreign races, he had to be 100% prepared.


    Apart from his own equipment, he also had to prepare one or two pieces of equipment for Guan Hu and the others to attack enemies and defend themselves. This way, he could ensure that nothing would go wrong.


    Now, let us assume that the enemy was fully prepared. The strength of his iing enemies were all above the six-star level, and there might even be seven-star fighters. In that case, he would prepare ordingly.


    As for those who surpassed seven stars, eight stars, and nine stars, the probability of them appearing was too low.


    ording to the division of strength on the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races, one-star to three-star cultivators were soldier level, four-star to six-star cultivators were sargeant level, seven-star to nine-star cultivators were colonel level, and those above nine stars were generals.


    When it came to those who were of even higher rank, Wu Mo did not know if they were marshals, kings, or even emperors. He had never seen them on the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races.


    However, not seeing them did not mean that they did not exist.


    After all, humans were basically at the bottom because they could barely defend themselves on the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races. If they encountered a slightly stronger foreign race, their defense line would likely be broken. After a massacre, they would only be able to retreat after paying a heavy price.


    Oftentimes, it seemed like the non-humans just gave up on pursuing the humans. However, from a different perspective, it would seem like the humans were trapped by the non-humans. Whenever the non-humans wanted to kill a group of humans, they would break through their defense line. Other times, humans would only encounter small groups of non-humans and fierce beasts.


    Either way, it was obvious how bad the humans'' situation was at the moment.


    Therefore, Wu Mo refused to believe that the Nine Provinces had not been infiltrated by the foreign races.


    The nation was still stable because many things were hidden to avoid causing panic.


    If the people knew that the human race was in a terrible situation, they would probably fall into despair.


    Of course, these were all Wu Mo''s spections based on the clues revealed on the Inte and the news.


    He was not too sure about the exact situation.


    However, one thing was certain, and that was the human race was not in a good position, much less safe.


    Therefore, he concluded that even if there were other races participating in his battle with Chu Qingyan, the strongest would not exceed the seven-star rank.


    He even had a feeling that the foreign races would likely just send out six-star fighters.


    However,pared to six-star humans, six-star non-humans were stronger.


    Although the energy reactions in their bodies were simr, their use of energy and Divine weapons might be on apletely different level.


    This was not because humans were weak, but because there was a difference in their inheritance.


    The foreign races inherited extraordinary powers from hundreds or thousands of years ago. It could even be longer.


    It was already quite extraordinary for humans to achieve what they had in just a few decades.


    Wu Mo''s current cultivation was divided into two parts. The first was his forging skills. Thanks to his forging, his spirit power had increased greatly, and his strength was now at the peak of five stars. However, in terms of his ability to use and umte transcendent energy, he was only at the peak of two stars.


    This wasrgely due to the fact that he had spent a lot of time researching forging knowledge.


    In reality, both parts of his cultivation needed to be honed for him to stand a chance.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Therefore, Wu Mo was still a two-star cultivator at this point. If he ended up in a battle, he might be killed before he could even react.


    This was also the biggest shoring of the current Nine Provinces'' cksmiths. After all, humans had onlye into contact with transcendent energy for a short time. To close the gap, they could only work hard on their Divine weapons and make some sacrifices.


    It seemed natural to do so on a national strategic level, but individually, it seemed too extreme. Their shorings were too great, and they had no way of dealing with the current crisis.


    Wu Mo understood this and knew that he was doing the right thing on a strategic level, but he could not do it himself.


    After all, others did not have the Divine cksmith System or the Divine Forging Space. However, he had a cheat, so how could he give up on improving his own strength?


    In the Divine Forging Space, Wu Mo summoned Mjolnir and hung it before him.


    His consciousness was connected to this Divine weapon, and he could use it to sense transcendent spirit energy and absorb it.


    Humans were currently practicing a fewmon cultivation techniques. The biggest gap between them was in the Divine weapons.


    Wu Mo could not change this for the time being. He could only use his Divine weapons to absorb transcendent spirit energy ording to the Art of Origin he had been cultivating.


    Human cultivation methods were all based on the cultivation methods passed down from ancient times. Naturally, they contained extraordinary subtleties.


    Nevertheless, it was an indisputable fact that there was still a huge gap between their cultivation methods and that of the non-humans, which had umted for thousands of years.


    Wu Moposed himself and removed any distracting thoughts. He then used Mjolnir to sense heavenly and earthly spirit energy.


    Although his neural space was isted from the outside world, the spirit energy within it was several hundred times denser than it was in the outside world.


    Unfortunately, Wu Mo never made use of it and missed many opportunities.


    As soon as he started cultivating, Mjolnir started to sh, and the mysterious lines on it lit up one by one. After the spirit energy gathered, the electric current in these lines was refined into transcendent energy that could be absorbed by the human body. With his connection to Mjolnir, the energy poured into his body.


    During this process, there was a certain amount of transcendent energy consumption. As a seven-star Divine weapon, Mjolnir was already one of the best Divine weapons known to mankind. Even so, its consumption had reached 30%.


    Wu Mo did not have many thoughts about this for the time being. Everything could only be pushed forward after the matter in the Red Heart province was over.


    Fortunately, even though it had lost threeyers, Mjolnir''s quality was still intact. The efficiency of its absorption and tempering was still not something that other cultivators couldpare with.


    Coupled with the abundant spirit energy in the Divine Forging''s Space, Wu Mo''s cultivation speed skyrocketed. The energy in his body kept umting, circting, and rising.


    At one point, Wu Mo felt his body shake as if he had broken free from some kind of shackle. His spirit energy levels instantly increased, and the fatigue that had umted over the past few days instantly disappeared. He felt energetic all over.


    Wu Mo''s eyes shone brightly as he eximed in his heart.


    This was only a breakthrough to the three-star level, and his cultivation technique was also ordinary. Despite that, this feeling waspletely different from anything he had felt before.


    If he forged and did research in his current state, the effects would be many times better and the process would be much more efficient.


    If he could obtain a higher level of cultivation method in the future, what kind of changes would take ce?


    He looked at Mjolnir before him with excitement in his eyes.

 Chapter 413 Deduction Of Cultivation Techniques

    In this world, one could only sense the spirit energy of heaven and earth through a Divine weapon. Only then could one refine it using the Divine weapon and absorb it into their body.


    However, there would be a 30% loss at the very least.


    This was because Mjolnir could only absorb spirit energy when it was ced in the outside world. Why could it not absorb the world''s spirit energy while it was in storage?


    Wu Mo was not a native of this world. He stood out in terms of vision and knowledge. Adding the memories of his previous life, his thinking and imagination were different from the vast majority of people in this world.


    "This Divine weapon should be like a medium between humans and spirit energy, or a transit. If I think about it a little more deeply, I might be able to treat it as an ''extraordinary seed.'' If I sessfully fuse it with my body, I wonder what effects it''ll bring?"


    Wu Mo was excited and also feeling a bit impulsive. He really wanted to see if he could absorb this Divine weapon in his body.


    However, rationality still prevailed over delusion.


    He knew that even if he tried, it would be useless. He would definitely fail.


    When Mjolnir was forged, it did not have the ability to integrate with his body because it was beyond the knowledge of this world.


    "Perhaps not many foreign races can do this!"


    Nevertheless, Wu Mo had no intention of giving up. He felt that achieving this was not just a matter of the Divine weapon. The cultivation technique yed a big part too. He could only deal with these two factors if he wanted to integrate the Divine weapon into his body and use it directly to absorb spirit energy.


    If he could do this, he might be able to nurture the Divine weapon through its spirit energy once it fused with his body. This would allow the weapon to have a spirit that truly matched its status as a Divine weapon.


    However, this would definitely take time, which hecked the most now.


    He pulled up the system and checked his remaining points. Although he had a feeling that he had been spending a lot, he never thought that he had already spent more than 3.6 million points. He could exchange them for three Divine-grade materials and still have some points left.


    However, Divine-grade materials could be obtained through the conference. He did not require them for the time being, so there was no need to exchange his points for them.


    Therefore, he set his sights on knowledge exchange.


    There were different categories in the store, namely materials, knowledge, and skills. As long as he had points, he could make an exchange.


    Knowledge was the most cost-effective. However, whether it came to learning or applying it, one required talent and time to umte it.


    He flipped through the knowledge interface, but he could not find anything. The contents inside were as vast as the sea. He looked around like a headless fly, but naturally, he could not find anything.


    Eventually, he used the search function.


    Swoosh!


    The interface was empty, and nothing was disyed.


    Wu Mo was not surprised or disappointed.


    After all, this was the Divine cksmith System, not a cultivation system. It was normal for it to not have a cultivation method. It would be strange if it did.


    Wu Mo''s eyes shed with determination. Since he did not have it, he would create it.


    As a cksmith, he had to deal with all kinds of materials.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Was the human body not a material? To a certain extent, the human body could also be used as a material. As long as he used the virtual forging function to simte aplete human body, he could simte the cirction of cultivation techniques. It was feasible.


    "However, it''s too difficult to create something out of thin air, and it''s not practical either. I can use the existing cultivation techniques as the foundation and improve them! I won''t be afraid of being slow. As long as I improve, one day, even the most ordinary cultivation technique will be a top-notch cultivation technique!"


    Wu Mo was extremely excited. He would do whatever he wanted and take advantage of the fact that he was full of energy to study.


    Although he had to urgently forge equipment for Guan Hu and the others, quality was more important than quantity since there were not many enemies around. He did not have to forge a lot; one piece for Guan Hu, Lone Wolf, and the others was enough.


    With his current three-star strength, his forging speed was faster. In addition to the simplicity and speed of the entire transcendent system, five days was enough.


    Thinking of this, Wu Mo essed the Divine cksmith System. With a thought, he condensed a virtual body that looked exactly like himself.


    If one did not know, they would not be able to tell which of the two bodies was an illusion.


    However, as Wu Mo''s mind stirred again, Wu Mo''s clothes disappeared from the tform. Then, his skin, flesh, bones, and tendons became transparent. The meridians in his body were reced by bright colors, which immediately revealed the difference.


    As for Wu Mo himself, he was secretly relieved.


    Even though he had the idea that the human body could also be used as a material and he could probably condense a virtual form, he still had some doubts before he tried it. Now that he was sure, he was relieved.


    With another thought, the virtual Wu Mo, who was sitting on the tform, began to cultivate the Art of Origin.


    This time, he started from zero, but he omitted the Divine weapon''s auxiliary transfer function. It only showed the cirction of transcendent energy in the body.


    Wu Mo watched as the transcendent energy traveled up the Governing Vessel and finally down the Conception Vessel toplete a simple cirction.


    During this process, Wu Mo noticed that after he circted the transcendent energy once, it decreased by more than half. In the end, less than one-tenth of it returned to his body''s center.


    The rest of the transcendent energy was used to nourish his meridians and strengthen his body.


    However, the strengthening effect was not strong. One could only call it passable.


    This world was very different from Earth. There was no inheritance of the original Eight Extraordinary Meridians and Twelve Main Meridians, or any inheritance of Chinese medicine. The two meridians that formed the current cycle were only created after the transcendent mortals arrived and conducted countless experiments.


    Apart from the Art of Origin, Wu Mo found two other cultivation methods and operated them on his virtual body. He found that these two cultivation methods used the other two meridians of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, the Prating Vessel and the Belt Channel respectively.


    They were all cultivation techniques that only circted transcendent energy. Clearly, the people of this world did not understand the existence of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and the Twelve Main Meridians, as well as the rtionship between them.


    Wu Mo actually only had a superficial understanding of this rtionship. If he had to talk about its function, he could only exin in general terms.


    Fortunately, he had the Divine Forging Space, so he could use the virtual world to experiment bit by bit.


    After all, this virtual human body was an exact simtion of his own body. If there was a problem, he would immediately discover it.


    If the ancient cultivators on Earth had something simr, they would have probably been able to create a golden age of cultivation.


    With a thought, a chair immediately rose up behind Wu Mo. Then, he sat down and extended his hand. The Tier 3 array analysis book that he had gotten earliernded in his hand.


    Then, he looked at the virtual body and began to operate it with the thoughts in his mind.

 Chapter 414 Thorn Armor

    He did not want to do it overnight, but he could experiment slowly.


    With the help of the Divine tform, he could monitor the cultivation of his virtual body at any time and make adjustments.


    However, Wu Mo also knew that it was not enough to rely on this to deduce a cultivation technique.


    In his previous life, he learned that cultivation methods did not revolve around the cirction of energy alone. It was formed bybining one''s knowledge, as well as understanding, of the human body, heaven and earth, and the universe.


    However, as long as he could monitor himself and put his mind to it, there should not be a problem for him to reach six stars at least.


    He nned to utilize three days to simte his cultivation. Fate would determine the amount of progress he would make.


    He could also use these three days to study and rx.


    ...


    Three days passed in the blink of an eye.


    Wu Mo stood up, and his eyes shed with joy.


    His assumption had been correct. He might not have deduced the cultivation technique to a very profound realm in such a short time, but he had deduced it to the third level, which corresponded to his three-star state.


    However, the effect of this new cultivation technique was many times stronger than before.


    Although there was not much change in the amount of energy, the quality of the energy had changed.


    If the energy cultivated previously was gas, then the energy cultivated now was liquid. If he could only break a brick with his original energy, he could now break a 1,000-pound boulder. It waspletely different.


    Wu Mo did not hesitate or worry about what would happen if there were any problems with subsequent cultivation techniques.


    In his opinion, that was a very simple problem. He could wait until he simted any subsequent cultivation technique before started cultivating. That way, there would be no problems. Even if there were any, he could immediately stop or even get rid of the particr cultivation technique. It would only cause a small dy at most.


    There was no need to worry about the abundant spirit energy in the Divine Forging Space.


    He sat cross-legged and began to circte the new cultivation technique.


    With the help of his virtual body, Wu Mo had already connected the new cultivation technique to his Eight Extraordinary Meridians and Twelve Major Meridians.


    Of course, at his current level, it was impossible to cultivate all the meridians, but he was off to a good start.


    Wu Mo''s aura began to change as he operated the new cultivation technique. His body actually began to emit a faint electric glow.


    This was because the technique was modified after he used Mjolnir to refine the spirit energy of heaven and earth.


    If he had used a fire-attribute Divine weapon to cultivate, the transcendent energy he cultivated would definitely be of the fire attribute. Simrly, the energy he cultivated would also be stronger and be of different attributes.


    More amazingly, this transformation was influenced by the Divine weapon. If he had used a thunder-type Divine weapon before andter switched to a fire-type Divine weapon, there would not be any major effect on the transcendent energy in his body. The newly absorbed energy would just change from the original thunder-type to the fire-type.


    The lightning and fire attributes could naturally fuse together and even increase his power.


    However, once the lightning-attribute energy in his body was exhausted, there would only be fire-attribute energy left.


    Simrly, if two types of energy shed, it would cause a conflict and increase the risk of spirit energy deviation.


    Of course, this change was caused by the use of Divine weapons with different attributes. However, Wu Mo had already thought about forging Divine weapons with various attributes so that he could minimize his shorings.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    With help from the abundant spirit energy and seven-star Divine weapon in the space, Wu Mo recovered his cultivation level to three stars in just two hours. His aura had be stronger, and his strength had increased by an unknown amount.


    With that said, this was only a breakthrough in his cultivation technique. In terms ofbat skills, he was still a weakling.


    Compared with cultivation techniques, the deduction of battle skills was much moreplicated and difficult.


    There was not enough time forbat skills at the moment. He could only put it aside for now and wait until the matter in the Red Heart province was over.


    Wu Mo waved his hand, and his virtual body dispersed. He then began preparations to forge equipment for Guan Hu and the others.


    He had already considered their equipment.


    When facing the foreign tribes, one had to be both offensive and defensive. Since time was limited, he could only focus on one piece of equipment.


    Without knowing which race he was from, Wu Mo decided to forge a legendary equipment from his previous life, Thorn Armor!


    Of course, this Thorn Armor was different from the one in the game in his previous life. The principle of implementation was certainly different, but its effects would be stronger.


    Wu Mo took out two pieces of a silvery-white metal from his Interspatial Ring. It was a metal that could reflect energy, called Reverse Silver.It felt soft in his hand, but if energy was injected into it, the energy would immediately bounce back.


    Even so, the degree of the rebound was only a few centimeters, and it did not reflect damage.


    However, if it wasbined with other materials and restrictions, its effects would bepletely different. Even physical attacks could be reflected, but Wu Mo himself did not know how much damage they would cause.


    When he first obtained this material, he had a simr idea, but he never had the chance to realize it. This time, he could use this opportunity to test it out.


    Wu Mo asked the Divine cksmith System to extract all the attributes of Reverse Silver and condense them into a virtual version. Then, he chose a dozen other materials and began to use the Divine Forging System to test the properties and reactions of the alloys formed by different metals.


    It would take a long time to create a new alloy material that met the standards.


    However, Wu Mo had the help of transcendent arrays and restrictions. He could filter and adjust the ratio of materials. He did not need to rely on luck bit by bit or understand theposition of molecules and atoms. As long as he adjusted the arrays and restrictions in ce, it would be very easy to obtain the alloy materials he needed.


    Of course, this ease was only rtive. Even with Wu Mo''s current achievements in the field of transcendent arrays and restrictions, it took him a full seven to eight hours to determine the ratio of materials.


    Once the materials were out, he naturally began to design the blueprints.


    Wu Mo produced a blueprint on the Divine Forging Workbench straight away. The blueprint was created ording to his will, so there were obviously mistakes.


    Therefore, as soon as it was formed, more than a dozen errors of different colors appeared on the virtual blueprint.


    Serious errors were red, and the smaller the error, the lighter the color.


    Therefore, Wu Mo made adjustments and corrected these mistakes.


    It was not a fast process, but it was not slow either. It took three to four hours to adjust.


    This mainly involved adjustments to the forbidden array, followed by the shape of the armor on the blueprint.


    Not only did Wu Mo add his own anti-damage restrictions, but he also added restrictions to increase defense and reduce weight.


    By the time the entire armor was finally formed, it had 12 restrictions. These twelve restrictions formed three arrays, which constituted the equipment''s extraordinary core.

 Chapter 415 Armor Sealing

    With the blueprintpleted, Wu Mo prepared to start forging.


    However, he no longer had ns to forge with a hammer. He nned to use the modern equipment he had obtained previously to forge.


    That way, not only would it save time, but it would also grant him more uracy than forging the armor on his own. He only needed to hammer the device with the lightning hammer onest time to sort out the energy conductivity inside the device.


    However, the most difficult part was to engrave an array on the inside of the armor.


    It was not something that he could casually condense out of air and shoot in from afar.


    This method was feasible, but Wu Mo''s cultivation was not advanced enough. His insufficient strength was the main issue!


    He wanted to casually forge equipment, but in reality, he was greatly limited by his strength. He had no choice but to bend down and carve protection arrays on each piece. Then, he used his own energy to drag and activate the arrays. He absorbed some spirit energy to refine them and finally condensed a Transcendent Core.


    Once all of this waspleted, there was thest step, which was sealing.


    Sealing was simr to hiding and protecting the array''s core on the equipment.


    If the array''s core was intentionally or identally hit inbat, it would break. As such, the equipment would instantly lose its effectiveness.


    In case of damage, he had to make sure that the undamaged parts of the armor could still operate without issue. It would be a different story if the entire armor was deformed or physically torn apart.


    Therefore, although the sealing process looked simple, it was actually a test of skill.


    In today''s world, there was sealing technology as well, but the technique involved was simpler and more crude. First, ayer of istion material would brushed over the core, and then it would be covered with another ayer of simr material. Theseyers acted as a wall that protected the Transcendent Core below.


    However, Wu Mo did not want to use this method. Instead, he used a special sealing liquid form provided by the Divine cksmith System. He prepared arge bucket of sealing liquid and immersed the armor in it, piece by piece.


    Each piece was immersed for about 10 minutes. By the time the pieces were taken out, the silver armor had turned into a palm-sized ck wrist guard.


    That''s right, he was not mistaken. The silvery-white armor that could cover his upper body hadpletely transformed into a ck wrist guard after it was soaked in the sealing liquid for more than 10 minutes.


    This was because the pieces of armor had been engraved with a transformation array, and the sealing liquid had directly changed the color of their surface. Now, the whole thing looked very inconspicuous.


    Wu Mo picked up the ck wrist guard and put it on. Then, he circted the energy in his body and instantly injected it into the wrist guard. Immediately after, the wrist guard lit up slightly as it carried traces of weak lightning, which spread throughout his entire body.


    It was emitting lightning because of Wu Mo''s energy attribute. If his attribute had been something else, it would naturally appear as another type of energy.


    Wu Mo reached out to touch the cold and somewhat stic armor on his body and nodded in satisfaction.


    It did not matter whether he wanted to test the armor or not; there was simply not enough time.


    It had been four days since he had started forging, and time was almost up.


    Nevertheless, he believed in his skills and the Divine Forging Space''s test results.


    In fact, he had some other ideas to make the armor more mystical. Although its had good effects, he was still a little dissatisfied.


    Unfortunately, it was time, and he could already hear someone knocking on his door.


    After all, he had to go to the bank with Chu Qingyan today to buy three seven-star Crystal Cores and store them. As such, he had to wake up earlier than usual.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    He stored the armor in his Interspatial Ring and examined Frost Star, thebat sword, and thebat boots on his feet. Then, he left the Divine Forging Space in a sh.


    Knock knock knock¡­


    "Wu Mo, are you up? Time to go! Chu Qingyan''s here!" Xu Wanqing''s voice rang outside the room.


    "I''ming, I''ming!" Wu Mo hurriedly replied.


    He quickly washed his face, changed his clothes, and pushed the door open.


    "Every time I call you, you dawdle. You take more time getting ready than a woman!" Xu Wanqing said with some resentment.


    "So what? What''s wrong with letting Chu Qingyan wait?" Wu Moughed. It''s not like I insisted on this bet or battle. If he wasn''t willing to wait, he would have left long ago. If he insists on waiting, he won''t leave even if you chase him away!"


    "Alright, alright. We still have to go back to the conference after we''re done at the bank. There''s not much time left."


    Xu Wanqing did not continue to argue with Wu Mo. In her opinion, this was just an idle matter. What was the point ofpeting? They were not warriors, so there was no need for it at all.


    Thinking of this, she quickly asked, "Why are youpeting with Chu Qingyan? If you want to see whose forging is better, you canpete in the exchange conference. Are you really going to engage inbat? You''re all cksmiths, so isn''t it a little unprofessional for you to fight?"


    Wu Mo shrugged. "I don''t know how topete with him. Otherwise, why would I have told him that I didn''t want topete yesterday?! It''s just that his offer is too attractive. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn''t have given him this chance."


    "Why do I feel like you never intended to refuse?" Gan Yun chuckled. "You can''t really be attracted by his offer, right?"


    "Do you know how annoying it is to have someone obsess over you after you be enemies?" Wu Mo shook his head. "Since there''s a chance to settle this once and for all, I naturally won''t reject it. It would be even better if I could earn some money along the way."


    Hearing Wu Mo''s exnation, Gan Yun, Liu Ze, and Chen Qingbai nodded.


    They had already sensed that Wu Mo''s rejection was not very firm yesterday. After they went back, they even discussed it while they chatted. Now, it seemed that it was true.


    Guan Hu led a few warriors to the side. He did not say anything and only paid attention to the situation nearby.


    Wu Mo patted him on the arm and handed him the ck wrist guard. "I just forged this. Try it on. Don''t worry, it''s free!"


    Guan Hu was momentarily stunned. However, something urred to him, and his eyes narrowed slightly. Without saying anything, he took the wrist guard and put it on.


    "What''s going on?" Xu Wanqing asked. Is this something you forged in the past?"


    Something felt off to her, but she could not tell what exactly.


    "Don''t attend my duel with Chu Qingyan after the conference," Wu Mo solemnly said to Xu Wanqing.


    When Xu Wanqing, Gan Yun, and the others heard this, their expressions changed slightly. Something was wrong.


    "What''s happening? If you don''t give us a clear exnation, we won''t agree to your request!" Xu Wanqing said with her beautiful eyes wide open.


    "That''s right! We all came together. If something happens, we''ll deal with it together. How can we let you face it alone?!"

 Chapter 416 Analysis And Guesses

    Liu Ze and Chen Qingbai also made the same choice. Obviously, even though Wu Mo was not very sociable, the three of them were willing to lend a hand when they encountered difficulties.


    Wu Mo was very touched by this, but it was also because of this that he did not want them to get involved.


    After all, they were all cksmiths. They had all the shorings that cksmiths had, especially in terms ofbat strength.


    It wasn''t that they werecking in talent or resources. It could only be said that as cksmiths, they didn''t pay much attention to it.


    In the modern forging system, where the technology system and the transcendent system werebined, and the technology system ounted for more than half of the total, it was inevitable that they would spend more time on various studies and research.


    "This matter is only my guess. However, it contains a huge risk. You guys¡­"


    "Are you worried that we''re not strong enough, or do you look down on us?" Xu Wanqing asked.


    "If you put it that way, then what else can I say?" Wu Mo smiled bitterly. Since you want to know, let''s go back first."


    With that, he turned around and went back to his room.


    Xu Wanqing and the others immediately followed.


    After sitting down, Wu Mo pondered for a moment and slowly said, "You should have heard of my rtionship with Chu Qingyan. It''s a little too much to say that we have a life-and-death feud. However, to a person like Chu Qingyan, this is a death feud. So, if there''s a chance, he definitely won''t mind creating some trouble for me. He''ll even be happy to kill me!"


    "What does this have to do with you acting like you''re facing a great enemy?" Xu Wanqing asked.


    Wu Mo sighed. "I can''t really tell what''s going on between us. It''s just my intuition. At the very least, from how Chu Qingyan''s so certain and adamant about trying every means possible to fight me even if he''s at a disadvantage, I feel that something''s wrong."


    "Oh? What''s wrong?" Chen Qingbai asked curiously.


    Although they all felt the same way, they did not know what was wrong. They were still confused.


    Wu Mo asked another question, "Wanqing, what''s your current cultivation level?"


    Xu Wanqing was stunned for a moment before she realized that Wu Mo was asking about her strength level, not her cksmith level.


    cksmiths only looked at their spirit power, but their strength depended on the transcendent energy in their bodies.


    "I''m only at two stars now, but I don''t have time to cultivate. Otherwise, I''d be at least a five-star cultivator!" she said in embarrassment.


    However, she looked very certain.


    Wu Mo then looked at the other three.


    Gan Yun shrugged and said, "What''s the maximum? I''m at three stars. I just broke through not long before I came. I only achieved it thanks to my old man''s constant supervision. Otherwise, I would be in the same state as Wanqing!"


    "I''m also at two stars like Wanqing!" Liu Ze nodded.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Chen Qingbai blinked and smiled. I''m a four-star cultivator, and I broke through not long before I came!"


    Wu Mo looked at Chen Qingbai curiously. "You must have spent a lot of time cultivating since you managed to reach four stars, right? It seems that your aptitude is stronger than ours!"


    Chen Qingbai waved his hand. "That''s not the case. My family just forced me to cultivate for an hour every day. As I practiced, it became a habit. That''s how my strength reached four-star. It has nothing to do with talent. I believe that if you did the same, your cultivation wouldn''t be much lower than mine!"


    "Indeed!" Wu Mo nodded. Do you understand now? As cksmiths, our strength isn''t even at three stars on average. I only reached three stars this morning. Are we the only ones with suchbat strength? No, the vast majority of cksmiths in the entire Nine Provinces are like us. They only pay attention to their cksmith ranking and not their own strength."


    "So what? As cksmiths, we''re the most precious talents of the Nine Provinces and its foundation. Usually, we have experts to protect us, so we don''t need to fight on our own. Besides, we won''t appear in dangerous ces. We don''t need to have too high of a cultivation base!"


    Wu Mo smiled.


    "That''s right! Everyone thinks that way, but I have a different idea. But let''s not talk about this first. Let''s talk about Chu Qingyan. Since everyone''s cultivation andbat strength isn''t high, why does he want to make a bet with me? If it''s a contest of forging skills, then the ranking in the conference will be enough. One can imagine that our contest is definitely not about forging. As such, I can only think of a battle."


    "Even if it''s a battle, his strength shouldn''t be very high, right?" Xu Wanqing furrowed her brows slightly. "If that''s the case, then this person is too sinister. This is obviously an unfair bet!"


    "How can it be that simple?!" Wu Mo shook his head. "You said it yourself, we cksmiths have a bunch of people protecting us wherever we go. Even if I fight Chu Qingyan, it will only be a matter of victory or defeat. It won''t involve life or death. At least those experts who protect us certainly won''t allow such a thing to happen, don''t you think so?"


    "Yes!"


    Gan Yun and the others also nodded.


    After all, cksmiths like them were treasured by each state. Each of them was a top talent. How could the state lose them just because of a bet? Even the Nine Provinces'' government would definitely not allow such a thing to happen.


    "So, do you understand now? Since Chu Qingyan wants to exact revenge on me, he can only gamble on his strength. Yet, he doesn''t have the ability to harm me. Won''t he be useless?"


    "What are your current suspicions?" Gan Yun asked.


    "I don''t know much about Chu Qingyan, but from what I know, he''s a selfish person. His desires are far beyond his abilities, and he''s extremely narrow-minded. He doesn''t care about betraying the interests of others for his own benefit. And if he wants to exact revenge on me, it won''t be as simple as venting his anger. There must be a greater benefit that''s pushing him to take the risk!"


    When the four of them heard this, their expressions changed slightly.


    Only now did they realize the severity of the matter.


    "Are you saying that he might be colluding with the foreign races, or some evil traitorous cult?" Xu Wanqing''s expression suddenly turned serious.


    Gan Yun and the other two also had solemn expressions.


    Following Wu Mo''s analysis, they looked through the matter again and immediately felt that Wu Mo''s suspicion might not be impossible.


    "This matter isn''t something we can handle. Since you''re already suspicious, why don''t you report it? Once ites to light, it will be so huge that it''ll pierce the sky!" Xu Wanqing said.

 Chapter 417 Showdown

    "How am I supposed to report this?" Wu Mo sighed softly. Do I tell them that Chu Qingyan made a bet with me and I suspected that he was colluding with the foreign races to secretly harm the top young cksmiths of the Nine Provinces?


    "After all, Chu Qingyan is a top talent in the Red Heart province, and one could consider him as a host. People also know that there''s bad blood between me and him. Will they think that I''m trying to frame him, or will they use this to retaliate? If this news of Chu Qingyan colluding with the foreign races spreads and alerts the enemy, wouldn''t I end up bing the viin? In the end, you might even be punished by the association¡­"


    At this point, Wu Mo shook his head speechlessly. "Although I have my suspicions, I don''t have any evidence. I can only try my best to be fully prepared. However, you can choose not to go. Besides, if there really are foreign races appearing, the situation will be extremely dangerous."


    Xu Wanqing and the others now understood Wu Mo''s approach. In fact, their rtionship had not reached the point where they would die for each other. They were still far from it!


    However, they were on the same side when it came to facing the foreign races. They shared amon hatred and did not mind facing their enemies together.


    Even so, no one knew whether such a fearless risk and sacrifice was worth it.


    "What do you n on doing then? Just wait for the other party to make a move and then passively respond to the crisis? No matter how prepared you are, I don''t think you can deal with real danger. Those foreign races know that once they show themselves, they''ll be the target of public criticism. Therefore, those who have the guts toe here are prepared to die.


    "Fighters with that mindset will do anything. I''m afraid that your so-called preparation won''t be sufficient!"


    "You may say so, but I''m still preparing, just in case. At the end of the day, I''m just specting about Chu Qingyan''s collusion with the foreign races. There''s no evidence. Under such circumstances, the slightest move could bring about unpredictable consequences. Therefore, we can only take it one step at a time."


    At this moment, someone knocked on the door.


    Knock knock knock¡­


    "Excuse me, is this Mr. Wu Mo''s room? Mr. Chu would like to see you downstairs. He says that he has an appointment with you."


    Wu Mo smiled. "Look at how anxious Chu Qingyan is. I can''t help but think about it. He even chased me all the way here. Let''s go! There are still three days before the duel!"


    Xu Wanqing and the others exchanged nces in silence. Even without a reminder from Wu Mo, they already had a sense of confidentiality.


    In fact, Wu Mo did not know that Xu Wanqing and Gan Yun had elite backgrounds, which gave them ess to more information that others did not have.


    Although the Nine Provinces seemed very peaceful, people actually died at the hands of traitorous cults and foreign races every day. A special department would prevent these incidents from reaching the public, hence people were clueless.


    In this seemingly peaceful world, the actions of the foreign races and traitors had always been big. They were quite active too. Otherwise, this conference would not have required such arge protection array, so many experts, and even sealed off the streets.


    He never thought that the foreign races would try to infiltrate the country by using the cksmiths who were participating in the conference.


    Chen Qingbai took a deep breath as he walked at the back. "This guy is really sharp. Although I had a strange feeling about him at first, I didn''t know what was wrong. Who would''ve thought that he would suddenly make this connection? He''s a prettyplex guy!"


    Liu Ze nced at Wu Mo, who was walking ahead of them. "Have you forgotten that Wu Mo has already spoken to test Chu Qingyan? I reckon that he also asked for the best to test Chu Qingyan on purpose. I can''t even get the three seven-star Crystal Cores at home. I''ve only seen them once when I was young. Yet, Chu Qingyan is producing such a precious thing without even blinking. What do you think he''s hiding?"<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Gan Yun had been listening to their conversation. After he heard them, he could not help but gasp. "He''s a good fellow! That Chu fellow is sinister! But I have to say, Wu Mo is a sly fox too! If he never said anything, I would have been oblivious!"


    Not long after, Wu Mo brought the few people downstairs, and he saw Chu Qingyan waiting in the hall.


    Seeing that Wu Mo had finallye down, Chu Qingyan put down his sword.


    He had been worried earlier because his n would go down the drain if Wu Mo gave up on the bet.


    Not to mention, he had reported his n to those peoplest night and even obtained a few Crystal Cores. The other benefits that he had received were enough to keep him going. He could no longer turn back.


    If anything happened to Wu Mo, those people would probably tear him apart.


    Fortunately, Wu Mo appeared, and the worry in his heart dissipated.


    "I thought you were going back on your word! You''rete. As a cksmith, you shouldn''t be making such a mistake!"


    Wu Mo chuckled. "Perhaps I had a reason? Maybe I purposely made you wait a little longer to kill your spirit?"


    Chu Qingyan''s expression froze, and he snorted coldly. "How boring! Are we leaving, or what? If you''re noting, this duel will be over!"


    He felt that he had been too arrogant, and that would easily arouse suspicion. Therefore, he deliberately retreated to test Wu Mo''s attitude. He also had the intention of provoking him.


    Wu Mo looked at him indifferently and said, "Have you prepared the Crystal Cores that I asked for? They''re rare items. Did you manage to get them in one night?"


    "What you find rare is nothing in my eyes," Chu Qingyan sneered. "They''re obviously very precious on the market. There''s a price for them but no supply, but that''s because you haven''t been looking in the right ces. Do you want to know where I obtained my Crystal Cores?"


    Wu Mo knew that if Chu Qingyan was truly dealing with the foreign races, he would reveal a reasonable and legal source of goods that had been arranged long ago. It would be useless to ask.


    "I''m not interested! As long as I can confirm that they''re real, I don''t care about anything else!"


    Chu Qingyan''s eyes flickered as he smiled. "That''s good! I probably wouldn''t have told you even if you asked!"


    In reality, what happened earlier was just another test. If Wu Mo had really asked, he would have definitely given a reasonable answer. However, their bet would have likely ended.


    This was the result of his discussion with those people. He felt that if Wu Mo began to ask questions, he would definitely have some doubts. And with doubts came the risk of being exposed. For his own safety, he would never carry out the n even if it meant a missed opportunity.

 Chapter 418 The Second Stage Of The Competition Begins

    Seeing Wu Mo''s reaction, he rxed slightly and said, "Let''s go! The Nine Provinces Bank is less than a hundred meters away. I''ve already made an appointment with their manager and even an appraiser in advance. When we get there, we canplete the appraisal and sign the agreement for our bet!"


    Wu Mo saw Chu Qingyan''s impatient look and did not dy any longer. He happily agreed and followed him.


    "Wanqing, you guys go to the venue and prepare first! I''ll be thereter!"


    Xu Wanqing and the others stopped in their tracks. They watched as Wu Mo and Chu Qingyan disappeared out the door. Their expressions were inexplicably solemn.


    "Now, I trust Wu Mo''s judgment a little. Previously, I was still a little suspicious that he was making a fuss over nothing, but now, I''m convinced that Chu Qingyan doesn''t have good intentions!" Liu Ze pinched his chin as if he was talking to himself and also to the others.


    "There''s no doubt about it. Even if it''s not Wu Mo''s guess, it''s already 100% certain that there''s some conspiracy behind this." Gan Yun shook his head.


    Xu Wanqing said lightly, "Alright, this matter ends here. After we leave this door, no one is allowed to mention it to anyone for three days. Don''t discuss it with each other either, just in case. This concerns the life and death of many people. Don''t underestimate it."


    "Alright!" Chen Qingbai said. "We only need to know what to do. We can discuss the details after the exchange conference! Let''s go! It''s gettingte!"


    ...


    Ten minutester, Wu Mo and Chu Qingyan walked out of the Nine Provinces Bank.


    "The agreement has been signed. I will inform you of the duel''s location in three days."


    Chu Qingyan smiled confidently.


    "Because the bet huge, I took the risk to let you decide the time and ce. However, there are some things that I still have to say first. For the fairness, I will invite some respected people to act as witnesses to avoid any idents!"


    "Oh? You''re worrying too much! But if it makes you feel better, then it''s up to you. I have no objections! Farewell!"


    Chu Qingyan left first.


    Since the two of them were going to the same ce, one walked in front of the other. In the end, they got into different cars and headed in the direction of the exchange conference.


    The procedures at the bank had gone smoothly as expected.


    Not long after, the second part of the exchange conference officially began at 9.00 am.


    The second part was the process of designing and implementing the blueprints submitted by the cksmiths.


    This process varied from person to person, but in the end, they had to submit their own work.


    If they were sessful, their work would be returned to them as a reward, and all the materials consumed would be free. For those who failed, the materials consumed would be borne by the provinces themselves, which was considered a moderate punishment.


    To cksmiths, sess was a profit, but failure was not just a matter of money. It was also rted to the glory of the various states and their own futures.


    Therefore, the forging was even more important than the blueprint design this time.


    Even if their blueprint design was not good, as long as the cksmith could understand it, it would be fine. As long as the equipment could be forged, it did not matter if the blueprint design score was not high. If the quality of the equipment forged was up to standard, it would still be able to receive a good score.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    This could be considered a chance to level up and bnce out the blueprint design''s low score.


    It would not be a problem for one to increase one''s overall ranking.


    However, the forging process did not begin immediately. They each had to submit a list of materials and then prepare them. There was still some time left for this process.


    Therefore, Xu Wanqing and the others came to Wu Mo''s forging room.


    "How was it? Did you see the Crystal Cores?" Gan Yun asked curiously.


    Wu Mo saw their curious expressions and asked, "Have you prepared your own materials? You still have the time to care about this?"


    "Hey! What materials we need have already been determined after the blueprint''spletion. There''s no need to think about it now. I''ve already submitted the list, and I''m just waiting for them to send the materials over. I still have some time. Why note over and chat with you?"


    "That''s right! Did you notice any strange people or things appearing nearby? This is a matter of life and death. We can''t ignore it!"


    "Don''t worry! Not at all! Anyone with a brain would know that this is not the time to be exposed. How could they give themselves away at this time?!"


    Wu Mo nced at them and said, "Once the exchange is over, you can leave immediately. Don''t get involved. That will be the greatest help to me."


    "No, we can''t stay out of this!"


    "What? Didn''t I make myself clear enough? "With our cultivation and strength, if we really face the enemy, it''s almost like sending them fodder. It doesn''t matter if we have a few more of you. Why do we have to serve them our heads on a silver tter? Do I have to exin it more clearly? You''ll be a burden if you go!"


    Xu Wanqing snorted and said, "Fine! I knew that you didn''t want us to go because you think we''re a burden. But don''t treat us like we''re fools. Wee from the same province. and we have a good rtionship. If we don''t go with you, do you think Chu Qingyan will suspect us? If we''re on guard because of this, it won''t be good if they notice any sudden changes."


    "I know how to escape, so I''m not worried," Wu Mo said, somewhat speechless. "However, if you guys go, I can''t take you with me. When the timees, do you want me to abandon you guys and run away? Aren''t you trying to make things more difficult for me?"


    Hearing Wu Mo''s words, the few of them looked at him in surprise.


    "You actually have a way to escape? Tell us!"


    Wu Mo did not hide anything. He lifted his leg and said, "Do you see this pair of shoes? It can increase my speed. The results of my new research have been very good. But there''s definitely no time now. Otherwise, I would''ve gotten you guys a pair too. It''ll be convenient for you to escape!"


    Their gazes fell on the ordinary-looking shoes on Wu Mo''s feet. They seemed to be no different from ordinary leather shoes, and their eyes shed with doubt.


    Wu Mo did not exin. He channeled his transcendent energy into his shoes, causing them to sh with a faint light. The shoes transformed into a pair of ckbat boots.


    The boots were covered in patterns, and they looked extremely exquisite. They also flickered with a strange light unique to Divine weapons.


    "Gasp!"


    "Your shoes are quite interesting! They don''t look like high-grade, but they can actually disguise themselves as ordinary shoes. When needed, you just need to inject transcendent energy into it. It''s pretty convenient!"

 Chapter 419 Confirming The List

    They were both cksmiths and had a natural interest in equipment and Divine weapons. Naturally, they had enough appreciation skills.


    At this moment, they were excited and surrounded him to study.


    "Wu Mo, what kind of technique did you use to make these shoes? Why can''t I understand? What are these patterns on it? A formation?"


    Gan Yun asked with a confused expression.


    "It''s a little over the top to say that it''s an array, but it''s not right to say that it''s not an array." Wu Mo shook his head. "To be more precise, this is a branch of arrays. It''s a knowledge system that the modern transcendent system has yet to fully discover."


    Xu Wanqing and the others widened their eyes.


    A new knowledge system that had not been fully explored yet? This was too surprising.


    However, he soon realized that the modern transcendent system had reached a bottleneck after decades of development. It was difficult to advance further.


    Since there was no legacy, everyone was in a state of "feeling their way across the river."


    Now, Wu Mo had actually discovered a newtranscendent system of knowledge. This was definitely huge news.


    "Are you serious?!" Xu Wanqing eximed.


    " Yes." Wu Mo nodded. "In the transcendent system, arrays are a veryplicated category. It''s difficult to master them, and there''s an extremely special category that''s closely rted to us cksmiths. It''s a called a restriction!"


    "Restriction?"


    "That''s right!"


    "What restriction?"


    "As the name suggests, it refers to restriction and prohibition. However, in the transcendent system, restrictions interfered with the flow of energy and even changed its nature. It''s true that it''s not an array but it''s definitely wrong to say that it has nothing to do with formations, because restrictions are even smallerponents that extend from arrays."


    Xu Wanqing and the others were confused. They had put in a lot of effort in the field of arrays, but due to an iplete inheritance, their achievements in the field of arrays were actually limited.


    At the current stage, technology could achieve more than 60% to 70% of a master cksmith''s ability. They needed technology because theycked transcendent legacies. There was no other way.


    As a result, arge number of scientific workers who understood the principles of the cksmith profession joined them. They would then learn about the transcendent system and take the path of a master cksmith ording to their own understanding and integration.


    This path of a master cksmith was obviously restricted by the current level of technology. Therefore, the highest rank of a master cksmith in the human world was seven stars, and there were very few of them.


    It was not that the ranking ended at seven stars, but that was the human limit.


    "I don''t quite understand. Are you saying that restrictions are more useful to us cksmiths?" Xu Wanqing asked.


    Wu Mo nodded and said, "I can''t quite exin it directly. We don''t have enough time now. Let''s talk about this after the exchange conference!"


    "Alright, then! But thesebat boots of yours werepletely forged with the knowledge of the transcendent system, and they''ve been fused with restrictions, right?"


    "That''s right!"


    Xu Wanqing stared at Wu Mo and said, I want to learn this when we go back. You can name your conditions and teach me personally. Is that okay? "


    "That depends on whether I have the time or not." Wu Mo was a little speechless. However, I will find time to write a paper on restrictions. You can study it yourself!"


    "A paper? That''s not enough! Just publish a book. I''ll publish it for you! I''ll give you 100% of the royalties!" Chen Qingbai waved his hand and said in an extremely magnanimous manner.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Looking at the boots on Wu Mo''s feet, it was impossible to say that he was not envious. However, he did not have any knowledge of transcendence, so he could only sigh in admiration.


    Seeing that Wu Mo was not afraid of sharing his knowledge, he decided to do it even if he had to suffer a loss.


    "Sure!" Wu Mo smiled. I can earn some pocket money!"


    " Tsk, hypocrite. Do you stillck money at this point?"


    "Of course! My family doesn''t have a mine, so I have to buy all the materials myself and rent all the equipment. Why wouldn''t I need money?"


    Xu Wanqing was toozy to argue with him. Seeing that it was almost time, she turned around and left. As she walked away, she said," Wait for us after thepetition. If it''s just a false rm, great. If it''s not, we have to contribute. Don''t look down on us!


    Chen Qingbai smiled. In terms of background, we''re not bad either. Who doesn''t have some trump cards with them?"


    Gan Yun and Liu Ze nodded and left.


    Wu Mo did not try to persuade them anymore. He just smiled as he watched them leave, but he thought, "Looks like I''ll have to speed up the construction of the underground shuttle this time. I have at least a day to make more preparations."


    At this moment, a staff member carried a sealed metal box into the room.


    "Mr. Wu, these are the materials you need on your list. Please check them and sign to confirm that there are no mistakes!"


    Although Wu Mo''s underground shuttle did not use any Divine-grade materials, the materials used were extremely precious and rare. It was expected that the association would be able to gather all of them. However, he still needed to personally inspect the quality of the materials to make sure that he knew what they were.


    Thus, the staff member opened the box in front of Wu Mo and revealed more than 10 materials that Wu Mo needed.


    The most important material was the Earth Xuan Crystal. This material could attract andmunicate with earth energy and was the core material of the underground shuttle.


    This material was only the size of a fist. It was dark yellow and translucent, and there was a faint and strange light flickering within it.


    It weighed about 20 to 30 pounds and was extremely heavy.


    After that, he checked the other materials. After confirming that there were no mistakes, he signed and sent the staff away.


    After the staff left, Wu Mo began to forge the equipment.


    Wu Mo had ground the Earth Xuan Crystal into fine powder with his equipment. Some of the other materials were soaked in a special solution, softened, and finally turned into a liquid. Some were burned with fire and turned into a solution.


    The processing of all the materials was monitored by the high-definition cameras. The four seven-star master cksmiths in the monitoring room saw it clearly.


    At this moment, among the dozens of big screens, the four big shots were most concerned about Wu Mo''s image.


    Although Zhang Chunyang did not like Wu Mo, he still looked at Wu Mo''s live broadcast.


    At the same time, the live broadcast on the Inte was also going on.


    In the entire Nine Provinces, countless people were paying attention to the situation of this exchange conference. Each state had different supporters, and each live broadcast room was targeted at a contestant.


    The design of the blueprintsst time was not broadcasted live. After all, drawing blueprints was more boring and required a lot of technical skills. Ordinary people would not be able to understand it.


    However, forging Divine weapons was extremely attractive to ordinary people. Even if they did not understand it, they could still watch the show.

 Chapter 420 Amazing Skills

    However, Wu Mo was not the most popr person in the live broadcast room.


    To ordinary people, they didn''t know how "unconventional" Wu Mo''s blueprint design was. They only looked at whose forging process was cool, whose equipment was worth looking forward to, and whose forging process was interesting.


    Of course, there were also people from each state who knew about it. In order to guide the audience, each state had invited experienced cksmiths to give livementary. The atmosphere was very lively.


    However, the poprity here had no effect on the yers in the stadium. Everyone was doing their own things step by step.


    The second part of thepetition was still three days long, during which the contestants could adjust their schedules ording to their personal circumstances.


    However, in order to speed up the progress, Wu Mo spent almost all day and night, using only a day and a half to finish forging the underground shuttle.


    The final step was to use his own transcendent energy to refine the underground shuttle''s transcendent energy core, which was also transcendent restriction. This wouldpletely activate it.


    At this moment, in front of Wu Mo was a silver-white shuttle that looked to be more than six meters long. It had two pointed ends and a drum in the middle. It was covered with strange patterns.


    Wu Mo pressed his hand on the center of the underground shuttle, and the transcendent energy in his body flowed into the shuttle through his arm.


    Suddenly, a strange ripple spread out from Wu Mo''s palm. Wherever it passed, the faintly discernible patterns instantly lit up and spread across the entire underground shuttle.


    In the blink of an eye, the entire underground shuttle began to shine with a strange light.


    Through the surveince video, everyone found out what happened in Wu Mo''s room.


    "Quick, erge the video of Wu Mo''s room!" Lin Xiangyun called out impatiently.


    Although the four big shots knew that Wu Mo was the biggest dark horse in this exchange meet, thepetition had not ended yet, so no one knew who would win in the end.


    However, after seeing Wu Mo''s blueprint design, the four big shots, even Zhang Chunyang, who did not like Wu Mo, had to admit that if Wu Mo could create this equipment, he would definitely be the undisputed number one among everyone.


    However, this was the "Nine Provincespetition" after all. Everyone had their own favorite contestants in their hearts. They also had some subjective thoughts and paid attention to these contestants. Therefore, even though they knew that Wu Mo was extraordinary, they only paid attention to him at all times.


    After all, the early stages of the forging process were not very interesting to them. They were all equally boring, and the speed was not fast.


    However, no one had expected that Wu Mo, this fellow, would be so hical. It would actually end in a day and a half.


    On the big screen, the situation in Wu Mo''s room was instantly magnified. Everyone''s eyes widened as they looked at the huge silvery-white shuttle-shaped object in the forging room.


    "What is this?"


    "It looks weird. Don''t tell me it''s a divine weapon. It''s too big and ugly!"


    "I think it''s quite nice! This agency is a little fast!"


    "The patterns on your body are the prettiest. What kind of technique is this? "


    "This isn''t technology from the technological system, but from the supernatural system. I don''t know what it is exactly."


    ...


    There was a lot of discussion in the live broadcast room. Even the senior cksmiths who were invited were a little confused.


    Lin Xiangyun took a deep breath and stared at the patterns on the image. He muttered to himself, his eyes filled with excitement.


    He had seen and even studied the design that Wu Mo had submitted. Looking at it now, he suddenly felt as if the clouds had been lifted and the sun had been seen. It was as if a brand new door had been opened.


    Gu Shan and Liu Yu''s situation was worse than Lin Xiangyun''s. Their eyes were red and their bodies were trembling. They were just short of entering the screen.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Even Zhang Chunyan was shocked. She stared at the screen without blinking, and her hands under the table were clenched tightly.


    "This is theposition of the tiny patterns on Wu Mo''s design. Although there is no exnation, it is not difficult to guess that it is closely rted to formations. And when these patterns arebined together, they form aplete circuit that guides the transcendent energy to operate ording to a specific appearance and achieve the desired function. This is the restriction he spoke of!"


    "How shocking! If this underground shuttle can really carry people and travel underground, this will definitely be a huge contribution to the nine provinces ''cksmith industry."


    "What''s the use of saying so much? No matter what, I have to settle down and study the Extraordinary system when I return. A young man like him can create a new path. We old fellows can''t fall behind. We have to make some achievements."


    The other staff members in the hall were also members of the association. However, they were not from the forging room, but were only administrative staff. They had some understanding of cksmiths, but it was limited.


    Seeing how excited the few big shots were, they knew that this contestant must be extremely extraordinary. They also discussed animatedly.


    "How do we use such a big piece of equipment? Can you carry it?"


    "Who knows? Maybe we can transport it by air?"


    "Are you kidding me? The questions that they had been given were all situations that soldiers had to face when they were in a desperate situation. How could they be transported by air? The alien race''s experts are much more powerful than airnes when they fly. How do we transport them by air?"


    "Maybe this contestant has a way?"


    "Let''s wait and see!"


    The hall was filled with discussions, but Wu Mo did not stop.


    Soon, the light spread throughout the entire underground shuttle, lighting up all the energy circuits and nodes.


    Wu Mo took a deep breath and retracted his hand.


    However, he did not put down his hand. Instead, he made a strange gesture and said softly, "Condense!"


    In an instant, the six-meter-long shuttle shed and shrunk into a palm-sized silver shuttle before flying into Wu Mo''s hand.


    This bizarre scene not only stunned all the viewers in the live broadcast room, but also everyone in the monitoring room, including the four big shots.


    In the room, the sound of gasps rose and fell.


    "Gasp!"


    "Good heavens, this is what an extraordinary method is. With just a casual gesture, such a huge thing has shrunk to the size of a palm. It almost blinded my dog eyes! "


    "Where did this cksmithe from? I hereby announce that this workshop has already won the championship. No one else will be able to im the title. Either this workshop has won the championship, or there''s a shady deal!"


    "Although I really want to be stubborn and refuse to admit it, thisst trick of turning such a big thing into such a small one. If it can be poprized, it will definitely be a strategy-level technology!"


    "This is definitely the genius'' forging room. I just checked and found out that this forging room is from White River province. His name is Wu Mo! You''re wee!"


    "Ahhh, this Brother Wu Mo is so handsome!"


    "Beat the crying monster to death. This is not a ce you should be!"


    ...


    Wu Mo''s live broadcast room was in an uproar. All kinds ofments soared, and in an instant, there were thousands ofments.

 Chapter 421 Injury-Proof Armor

    Although Lin Xiangyun and the other big shots pretended to be calm in the monitoring room, their trembling bodies and excited eyes betrayed their true feelings.


    "This is a transformation technique from the transcendent system. I''ve seen the foreign races use it before on the front lines. More than 10 years ago, I saw them turn equipment the size of a fist into a siege weapon that was more than 10 meters tall. However, no matter how hard we tried, we couldn''t figure it out. Now, with this equipment as a reference, we can master the art of transformation too!"


    They were incredibly excited. The range of application of this extraordinary foundation was too wide. As long as they grasped it, it would be very important to the entire human race.


    "Hurry, go to Wu Mo''s room now and ask him to bring the equipment over. I want to consult him!"


    Wu Mo did not expect to attract the attention of Lin Xiangyun and the others. They even ignored the rules of thepetition and asked him to exin the underground shuttle''s zooming technique.


    Although he wanted to save time, he could not refuse in this situation.


    Hence, he followed the staff to the room where Lin Xiangyun and the others were. He nced at the surveince screen on the opposite wall, then turned to look at the four big shots who were staring at him.


    "Wu Mo''s here,e over quickly!" Gu Shan stood up and greeted him warmly.


    Wu Mo knew what these people were thinking about, so he was not nervous. He walked over calmly and said, "I know what you''re thinking, Masters. This is a booklet about zooming technology that I''ve prepared long ago. It details the implementation process of the relevant technology and the principles of some extraordinary systems."


    As he spoke, he took out a small booklet and handed it to Gu Shan.


    "Haha, good, good, good! Little Wu, you''ve solved a big problem for us! If this technology can be poprized, it will be of great significance to the entire Nine Provinces and the entire human race."


    Gu Shan was smiling like a chrysanthemum, and he was extremely satisfied.


    Lin Xiangyun was too ashamed to look at Gu Shan''s shameless behavior. He waved at Wu Mo and said, "Although the final result has not been announced, if nothing unexpected happens, you will be the champion of thispetition. After all, whether it''s your contribution, the significance of your equipment, the technical content, or even its function, it''s well-deserved in all aspects. No one can say anything wrong about it!"


    "Thank you for your affirmation, Master cksmith. I will continue to work hard! However, I''ve been working hard for the past two days. If there''s nothing else, I''d like to go back and rest first. After thepetition is over, I''ll exin it to you in detail!"


    When they heard this, they looked at Wu Mo''s bloodshot eyes and tired face. They realized that they had been a little inappropriate.


    "Sigh, I was too excited and anxious just now. How about you go back and rest first? After the championship is over, we''ll talk about technical matters!"


    "Thank you for your understanding, Masters!"


    Wu Mo secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that the masters would catch him and not let him go. That would not be good.


    After all, the few judges were all highly respected masters. If he directly refused, it would make people feel that he was not respectful enough and even seemed to be too arrogant.


    Wu Mo returned to his smithing room andy on his bed. He closed his eyes and entered the Divine Forging Space.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    After entering the space, he did not immediately start forging equipment. Instead, he fell into a deep sleep. He slept for nearly 20 hours before waking up.


    Such conscious sleep allowed one''s mental state to recover quickly, but the body in reality could not be affected. It still needed more time to rest.


    After Wu Mo''s higher consciousness body woke up in the space, he immediately began to prepare materials and forge equipment.


    He did not research new equipment. Instead, he directly forged a set of equipment for Xu Wanqing and the other three. This included Frost Star, the Speed-boosting Combat Boots, the Tenacious Battle Sword, and so on. He also forged five sets of injury-proof armor.


    Through the creation of the underground shuttle, he had made a lot of breakthroughs and progress in the field of restriction arrays. The injury-proof armor, a Divine armor that he had originally wanted to invest some time in, had been developed just like that.


    Wu Mo made five sets in one go. He wore one set himself and gave the remaining four sets to Xu Wanqing and the others.


    The materials needed to forge these equipment were astronomical. Fortunately, he believed that the four of them would definitely not be stingy with this money.


    Perhaps it would be more in line with his wishes if they bartered with more precious materials.


    He spent 10 days in this space.


    When he came out again, the second round had already ended. All the participants had already left their rooms and were interacting with each other. They were waiting for the results of the judging.


    Not long after, Xu Wanqing and the other three arrived together.


    However, the four of them did not look too good. When they saw Wu Mo open the door, the first thing they said was, "That Chu Qingyan is really arrogant. He didn''t see you just now, but he actually mocked you in front of countless people. He even asked us to remind you not to forget about your better!"


    Xu Wanqing was furious.


    Wu Mo smiled. "You still don''t understand. That guy wants to use this opportunity to attract morepetitors to watch. Only then can he perfectly achieve his goal.After all, if it''s really as we''ve guessed, then our cksmiths are a thorn in the side of the foreign races. To be able to kill such arge number of them is definitely more worthwhile than killing hundreds of thousands of our soldiers on the battlefield."


    "It''s precisely because we understand this guy''s n that we''re even angrier!" Xu Wanqing said furiously. When did the Nine Provinces let him down? He actually wanted to betray his country and his race. It was simply unimaginable! Even if the foreign races can give him some benefits, the risks are simply not proportional. What is he after?"


    "Hmph, it''s hard to say!" Gan Yun said with a dark face. I heard that this guy likes to enjoy life very much, and his desires, as well as ambitions, are very big. However, hecks ability and is jealous of talent. Such a person won''t be able to go far by normal means. Naturally, he will want to resort to crooked ways!"


    Liu Ze added, "I guess that''s not the only reason. After all, betraying a race and a country is something that no one with a normal IQ would do unless it was absolutely necessary. Since he has made such a decision, then either something has fallen into the hands of the foreign races, or he haspletely controlled them. There is no way out, and he can only walk down this path until the end!"


    "The guy attracted so much attention just now," Chen Qingbai said. "I''m sure something big will happen soon. Once something goes wrong, it won''t just be a matter of death. No one can bear this responsibility. Are you sure you don''t want to report this to the higher-ups?"

 Chapter 422 Frost Star

    Wu Mo lowered his eyes and fell into deep thought.


    "How are we going to exin our guess? If we make a mistake¡­"


    Xu Wanqing waved her hand and said domineeringly, "So what if there''s a misunderstanding? We''ll be reprimanded at most. What do we have to lose?"


    Wu Mo was a decisive person. He nodded and said, "Since you''ve thought it through, I have no problem with it. I was the original target, and I suspected that I was being framed. But since it involves the safety of so many people, it''s better to be cautious."


    "In that case, let''s report it now so that we have time to prepare. Otherwise, we might alert the enemy too soon!"


    "There''s no need to go through so much trouble!" Wu Mo shook his head. "The four master cksmiths might not be very powerful, but they contributed to the country''s foundation. Hence, each of them are protected by experienced fighters. There are at least four seven-star cultivators around them. Leaving two behind should be enough."


    When the four of them heard this, their eyes lit up, and they nodded vigorously.


    Wu Mo continued, "However, it''s best to find someone else to report this matter. We might be being watched now. If we make a move, we might alert the enemy!"


    "You''re right. We can''t let Chu Qingyan notice any clues and be on guard. However, how do I contact the grandmasters and gain their trust?"


    "I have a way!" Wu Mo turned around.


    "What is it?"


    "The equipment I recently created uses some new techniques from the transcendent system. It''s what you saw before. The effect is somewhat simr to mybat boots. I''ve written a small booklet about it before and introduced a small portion of the knowledge and application of this ''forbidden system.'' However, I reckon that the grandmasters will still have many doubts."


    "And now, they''re busy judging everyone''s equipment and Divine weapons. I guess they haven''t had time to study them. I may be writing a booklet, but we can write our doubts and requests in it. As long as the masters are loyal to the Nine Provinces, they will definitely not make it public and will cooperate with us. This way, it will be much safer."


    Xu Wanqing patted Wu Mo in excitement and praised him, "You''re really quick-witted. Let''s do it this way. Hurry up and write it, then I''ll get someone to send it over!"


    "No need!"


    Wu Mo raised his hand and pointed at the surveince camera above his head. "Later, I need you guys to help me block it. No one can be sure if there are enemy spies where the masters are. Why don''t you send someone to look for them?"


    "Wu Mo, you''re really cunning. Chu Qingyan is unlucky to be your enemy!" Gan Yunughed.


    "I''m just an overthinker." Wu Mo shook his head. "I''ve made 100 million ns. It''s nothing!"


    The few of them did not hear Wu Mo mention that "100 million ns" were nothing.


    Very quickly, Wu Mo finished writing what he wanted to express. Then, he took out a paper tube seal and used a simple restriction rune to seal it in front of them. Their eyes lit up when they saw this.


    "That''s a good move! Wu Mo, you have to teach me how to do that!"


    Xu Wanqing was about to stick to Wu Mo right then, and his eyes twitched as a result. Meanwhile, Gan Yun and the others were smiling like nosy olddies, which made him extremely embarrassed.


    "Alright, alright, alright. Hurry up and get off. I can''t stand this! I''m allergic to women. Remember to keep your distance from now on, okay?"


    Xu Wanqing pouted and did not believe him. She snorted lightly and said, "Hmph, I gave you a chance, but you''re useless! Don''t say that I didn''t give you a chance in the future!"<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Wu Mo coughed lightly and changed the subject. "I''ve forged a few pieces of equipment for all of you. They''re all forged using the transcendent system, but they cost a lot. Do you want them?"


    "Really?"


    Their eyes lit up. Even the most reserved Chen Qingbai could not help but take two steps forward.


    Wu Mo nodded and said, "You''ll have to pay for it yourself! I have a younger sister in high school, so it''s impossible for me to make it for free!"


    "Hey! How many materials did you use? What materials did you use? We''ll pay you double and give you a forging fee. How about that?"


    "Hurry up and take them out!" Xu Wanqing shouted impatiently.


    Wu Mo was not worried that they would forget about their debt. With a wave of his hand, a dozen pieces of equipment appeared on the forging table.


    Beads, armor, andbat boots entered their field of vision.


    The equipment looked very ordinary, and even their sizes did not fit. However, none of them had any intention of underestimating the equipment.


    After all, they had seen with their own eyes that the equipment Wu Mo forged could change shape and even sizes.


    "What treasure is this?" Liu Ze curiously picked up a dark blue bead. It felt cold and heavy.


    "This is an ice bead. I''ve named it Frost Star!"


    "Frost Star... What a nice name. How do I use it?" Xu Wanqing asked curiously.


    Wu Mo waved his hand, and a blue bead appeared in his hand.


    "This is another Frost Star. It''s the same as the one in your hands. But before you can use these pieces of equipment, you have to first infuse your own True Essence, or rather, transcendent energy, into the equipment topletely refine its restriction core. Only then can this equipment be consideredpletely yours. In addition, the equipment that you''ve refined cannot be used by others. Only by removing the energy that you have left in the core of the equipment can you change the user," Wu Mo exined, and the four of them immediately understood.


    "You haven''t told me how to use this bead."


    Wu Moughed and said, "This Frost Star can produce a Frost Halo upon activation. This Frost Halo has both physical and freezing damage. It can reduce the speed of enemies within its range and force them to be repelled by a Frost Field. If your reactions aren''t too slow, you can take this opportunity to deal a heavy blow to your enemy. With the enemy slowed down and the repulsion disrupting their movements, it won''t be difficult to kill them!"


    "Gasp!"


    Gasps of cold air rang out in the room.


    "Good heavens, those who have no idea about this will end up in a miserable state if they''re attacked by this thing!"


    Wu Mo nodded and said, "This equipment is used for self-defense. It''s just that my current level of research on restrictions is still low. If I can get this Divine weapon to possess spirituality, it will activate as soon as danger approaches. That''s the performance of a Divine weapon!"


    They were stunned by Wu Mo''s idea. If they had such a piece of equipment, once they encountered danger, the Divine weapon would automatically alert them and attack. Then, not only would it repel the enemy, but it would also slow the enemy down. Just thinking about it was wonderful.

 Chapter 423 Sending Information

    Gan Yun exhaled lightly. "Man, just listening to you makes my blood boil. We''re both cksmiths, but why are you so outstanding? I feel like I''ve lived my life in vain!"


    Wu Mo quickly waved his hand. "It''s not as outrageous as you think it is. In fact, our forging skills are basically the same. I just have some new insights on the transcendent system. Before I came to the Red Heart province, I probably wasn''t even as good as you!"


    "Did youe up with all this aftering to the Red Heart province?" Xu Wanqing asked in surprise. How did you find the time to forge these pieces of equipment?"


    Wu Mo''s heart tightened, but his expression did not change. "The creation of a transcendental system is different from a technological system. The Divine weapons of the transcendent system rely on modern equipment to be forged. Once you insert the restriction arrays, they''re basicallyplete. It''s difficult for those who don''t understand it, but it''s easy for those who know the system. Naturally, the forging process is also faster!"


    The group was even more tempted thanks to Wu Mo''s description.


    The technology system had its advantages, but its biggest problem was how time-consuming it was.


    On the contrary, the transcendent system seemed very simple after they heard Wu Mo''s exnation.


    Of course, they knew that it was just an illusion.


    Just as Wu Mo said, it would not be difficult for those who knew how to work the system, but it would be difficult for those who had no clue. One would only be able to perform well after one understood the transcendent system.


    As such, they were determined to study the transcendent system. Just hearing about these Divine weapons made them envious!


    Xu Wanqing had even begun to refine her Frost Star impatiently.


    The other three did not fall behind either. With the strength of a three-star warrior, they did not take too long to refine the bead. It only took them 10 minutes topletely refine the restriction arrays within their Frost Stars, which made the beads their exclusive treasure.


    Wu Mo continued, "In the future, once you have a new understanding of arrays and restrictions, you can leave your own mark on it. This mark can be a spirit mark, or a mark that has condensed from your True Essence and spirit energy. You can even fuse your own vitality into it. This is the way to refine your weapon, so you can''t do it rashly."


    Wu Mo''s exnation was an eye-opener for them.


    Just as they were about to say something, there was a knock on the door.


    They exchanged nces as Wu Mo walked over and opened the door. Outside the door was Xu Cheng, the person in charge of the exchange conference.


    "Master Wu, Master Lin and the others have invited you over!"


    "I understand." Wu Mo nodded. "I still have something to deal with here. Could you help me send a scroll over first? I''ll be there soon!"


    Xu Cheng was momentarily stunned. When he saw the scroll, he frowned slightly.


    However, when he thought about the masters'' attitude around this person, he nodded and said, "Alright! Master Wu, pleasee as soon as possible. The master cksmiths are eager to speak with you!"


    Wu Mo smiled and nodded. "Don''t worry, pass the scroll to Master Lin Xiangyun. He''ll understand once he sees it!"


    Xu Cheng nodded and turned to leave, but in reality, he was a little unhappy.


    Wu Mo had just achieved some good results, and he was already acting a little arrogant. He was putting on airs when receiving a true master cksmith''s invitation. He was too full of himself.


    After Xu Cheng walked a short distance, he saw Chu Qingyan passing by with a few people. He even greeted him, "Director Xu, where are you going?"


    "Well, the masters asked me to summon Wu Mo. I didn''t expect that kid to be so good. But he''s putting on airs, so you shouldn''t follow in his footsteps!"


    "Don''t worry, I know what I''m doing!" Chu Qingyan smiled and nodded.


    "That''s good! Let''s go."


    As he watched Xu Cheng walk away, a strange look shed in Chu Qingyan''s eyes, but he quickly hid it.


    "Looks like they haven''t noticed anything. That''s great! Wu Mo, you arrogant fellow. Today, you''ll learn what cruelty is."


    The few people behind him did not notice anything, and they were still chatting in low voices.


    Meanwhile, Xu Cheng hurried back to the hall.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    When Lin Xiangyun and the others saw Xu Cheng return, they thought that Wu Mo had tagged along. Unexpectedly, they only saw Xu Cheng.


    "What happened? Hasn''t he rested enough?" Liu Yu frowned and asked.


    It had already been a day and a half. Logically speaking, it should have been enough time for Wu Mo to get some sleep.


    Xu Cheng could only bite the bullet and say, "Wu Mo said that he would be here soon. He asked me to pass this to you first, Master Lin. He told me that you would understand once you see it!"


    Lin Xiangyun and the others were confused.


    He took the scroll from Xu Cheng and looked at it.


    "Huh?" Lin Xiangyun eximed in surprise.


    Gu Shan and the others also saw the flickering restriction runes on the scroll.


    "Whoa, this little guy really knows his stuff. Previously, he used tape, but now he''s actually using restriction runes!"


    Although it had only been a day and a half, the grandmasters had carefully studied the booklet that Wu Mo had handed to them. The introduction and application of runes had already given the grandmasters some understanding.


    Master Lin Xiangyun was a master cksmith after all. His cultivation had also reached five stars. He raised his hand and tapped on the restriction runes. At the same time, he injected transcendent energy into them.


    Pa!


    The restriction runes on the scroll instantly copsed with a soft thud.


    When Liu Yu and Gu Shan saw this, they both nodded. Gu Shan said, "This restriction can actually be used this way. I''ve learned another technique!"


    Even Zhang Chunyang did not reject Wu Mo''s work as he did before. His eyes were full of contemtion.


    Lin Xiangyun opened the scroll''s tube and took out a note.


    The smile on Lin Xiangyun''s face gradually disappeared, and he quickly became serious. Then, he retracted his hand and held the scroll.


    Without hesitation, he looked around and said, "Everyone, except the four of us, get out!"


    The other staff members were confused. Even Xu Cheng was puzzled.


    "Master Lin?"


    "Don''t worry, I just have some important things to discuss with the masters. It''s not convenient for others to be in the know. "


    "Oh, okay! Everyone, please leave. Let''s not disturb the masters!"


    Soon, everyone left the four masters in the room.


    Gu Shan, Liu Yu, and even Zhang Chunyang were confused.


    "What''s wrong?"


    Lin Xiangyun did not say anything and passed the note to Gu Shan.


    After Gu Shan took a look, his originally excited expression instantly turned murderous. However, he did not say anything and handed it to Liu Yu beside him.


    After Liu Yu read it, his expression also changed. Then, he handed the note to Zhang Chunyang without hesitation.


    He had apparently forgotten about Zhang Chunyang''s previous dispute. Besides, nothing about Zhang Chunyang seemed out of the ordinary.

 Chapter 424 Special Task Force

    After reading the note, the old man''s expression immediately turned unpleasant. He snorted angrily and said, "These foreign races are really determined to kill us. What''s more despicable is that there are people who dare to betray the Nine Provinces and their own people. They deserve to die!"


    "This is just what Wu Mo and the others suspect. We can''t be sure yet!" Lin Xiangyun said.


    "Hmph!" Gu Shan snorted coldly. "There''s nothing else to say. I can confirm that this is definitely true! "


    "How?" This time, even Lin Xiangyun was shocked.


    Gu Shan said, "Have you forgotten that the seven-star Crystal Cores of the foreign races were almost all used up after the forging of that Divine weapon? It would have been difficult to gather three more in a short time. Where else would they be avable?"


    "Gasp!"


    "It seems that we have underestimated the viciousness and despicable nature of the foreign races!" Liu Yu''s eyes were filled with killing intent as he spoke.


    "What do you think we should do?" Lin Xiangyun asked.


    "The higher-ups want us to send two seven-star cultivators to guard the ce and deal with the crisis, but I''m worried that two won''t be enough!"


    "Then send all of them over!" Zhang Chunyang said.


    "No!" Liu Yu objected.


    "Why not?"


    "If the foreign races can target these young cksmiths, why can''t they target us? I''m not afraid of death, but I can''t do this!


    "However, it''s probably toote now. Besides, once there''s a bigmotion, it''s easy to alert the enemy.


    "This matter should be handed over to the Secret Service Bureau," Lin Xiangyun said. "They''re the professionals."


    "I''m just afraid that a slow methodical approach won''t save us from this urgent crisis!"


    "Don''t worry. I''ll contact Chief Zhao of the Special Task Force directly and get a professional to give us some pointers. It''s better than us acting on impulse!"


    As he spoke, he dialed the number of the director of the Special Task Force, Zhao Qingchi.


    "Hello, is this Master Lin?"


    Lin Xiangyun did not waste any time. He described what happened there quickly and concisely. In the end, he asked, "What should we do about this?"


    On the other end, Zhao Qingchi''s breathing became heavy. Even Lin Xiangyun and the others could hear it clearly.


    Ten secondster, they heard Zhao Qingchi''s voice. "I''ve already gotten the nearest secret service members to close in. There are two seven-star and four six-star cultivators among them. If anything happens, they''ll rush over immediately."


    After he said this, he paused for a moment and continued, "The safety of the four masters is incredibly important. I''ll send more people over as soon as possible!"


    "We don''t care about ourselves. This time, the foreign races have a big plot. If they seed, the Nine Provinces'' forging industry will be set back another 10 years at least. These young people who''vee to participate in thepetition are talented geniuses. We can''t afford to lose!"


    In a building in Red City, the capital of the Red Heart province, a middle-aged man with a gloomy face tried his best to speak in a calm tone, "Don''t worry, I''ll guarantee with my life that there won''t be any problems!"


    Zhao Qingchi tried his best to prevent his anger from seeping out.


    After he hung up, the face of the Special Task Force''s director in Red City instantly turned red. He roared angrily, and it almost shook the entire office building.


    "Where the hell did everyone go? You can''t do your job, you''re being yed like monkeys by the enemy, and you have to wait till the victims call for help. Are all of you that useless?"<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    In an instant, the entire building fell silent.


    Once he vented the anger in his heart, Zhao Qingchi quickly calmed down, but the cold murderous intent in his eyes seemed capable of freezing the air.


    A few capable subordinates pushed the door open and entered silently. Then, they stood in a row.


    Zhao Qingchi did not waste any time and quickly said, "There are rebellious cksmiths in the exchange conference colluding with the foreign races and attempting to kill arge number of top cksmiths in the Nine Provinces. Kill all these traitors and foreign races. Most importantly, we can''t lose any of those young cksmiths. Otherwise, the entire Agency of Special Affairs and the entire Red Heart province will be theughing stock of the Nine Provinces. We will never be able to raise our heads! We''ll head out now and decide the battle n on the way. This time, there''s only one requirement¡ªbe fast, urate, and ruthless! Let''s go!"


    The director was a decisive person. He did not even take the stairs. He pushed open the window and jumped out. With a whoosh, hended in the parking lot in the courtyard.


    When the others saw this, they did not take the stairs either. They all jumped out of the window and quickly boarded their vehicles before they sped toward the venue of the conference.


    At this moment, Chu Qingyan had also arrived at Wu Mo''s forging room and knocked on the door.


    The moment Wu Mo opened the door, Chu Qingyan said, "Are you ready? If you''re afraid, you don''t have to feel embarrassed. I can understand. After all, we''re both cksmiths!


    "Aren''t you a little too early?" Wu Mo frowned. The results haven''t been announced yet, but you''re already here. Are you afraid that you won''t die miserably enough?"


    Chu Qingyan sneered,"You''re a stubborn duck! I might not be as good as you in forging, but in terms ofbat, I''ll give you a hard time!"


    Wu Mo could not be bothered to bicker with this guy and nonchntly said, "Just tell me where the duel is!"


    "After the results are announced, I''ll bring you there. We''ll wait for you at the entrance of the gymnasium. You don''t have toe, of course!"


    "See you!"


    Chu Qingyan did not say anything else. He turned around and left.


    He hade to see if Wu Mo was around. He was really afraid that this guy would retreat at thest minute. If that happened, he would not be able to release the hatred in his heart. This operation would be a lot less meaningful to him then.


    Wu Mo returned to his room and saw that Xu Wanqing and the others were refining a few pieces of equipment. He did not disturb them and waited quietly.


    Not long after, the broadcast in the stadium echoed. The results were about to be announced, and everyone was asked to gather in the middle of the square.


    A few minutester, they arrived at the center of the square. Lin Xiangyun and the other masters were already waiting there.


    They swept their gazes across the many cksmiths and paused for a moment on Wu Mo. Lin Xiangyun acted as the representative and gave a speech, which made everyone fall asleep.


    Wu Mo guessed that these masters were probably trying to buy time to make arrangements.


    Finally, the results were officially announced.


    As expected, Wu Mo won thepetition. Zhang Weiyi from the Red Heart province took second ce, and Xu Wanqing took third ce.


    Gan Yun was ranked sixth, Chen Qingbai was ranked ninth, and Liu Ze was ranked tenth.


    Everyone from the White River province had entered the top 10. This was the best result the White River province had ever achieved.


    Many people looked at them with envy and shock. The White River province was actually that powerful.


    Chu Qingyan was also incredibly surprised by the results, but there was no disappointment on his face. Instead, a faint smile hung at the corner of his mouth.


    "Who cares about the results you get? The better it is, the faster you die! It doesn''t matter that you''re a genius. A dead genius is no longer a genius!"

 Chapter 425 A Trap Within A Trap

    Chu Qingyan remained calm and had a faint smile on his face.


    After that, it was time for the award ceremony. The first ce winner would receive three Divine-grade materials. However, these materials were not randomly selected.


    Wu Mo had no objections to this. It looked like he stored the three boxes in his Interspatial Rings, but in reality, he put them in the Divine Forging Space.


    Compared with the Interspatial Ring, the Divine Forging Space was much safer.


    The conference was officially over, but thepetition that should have been extremely lively ended in a hurry.


    With the respect the grandmasters had for Wu Mo, they would have definitely invited him over to discuss the details of restrictions and arrays.


    However, the masters could not do so at this point. Instead, they sent everyone back to the hotel. They could return anytime they wanted.


    Wu Mo and the others did not have much to clean up. After exchanging nces, they walked toward the door.


    A few minutester, they saw Chu Qingyan at the entrance. At the same time, a group of more than 20 cksmiths came out. They were also watching with great interest. It was obvious that they were nning to follow him to watch the show.


    Wu Mo was a little speechless. Weren''t cksmiths supposed to be cold and aloof? Why did these guys have so much free time?


    Although he thought so, he still went up to Chu Qingyan.


    "Are we leaving now?"


    "Of course. Are you waiting for someone?" Chu Qingyan revealed a strange smile.


    Wu Mo did not know if Chu Qingyan had sensed something or if he felt that victory was already in his grasp, hence he was a little smug. His attitude and tone had changed.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Even though this change was not big, if one was cautious, one would still notice it.


    Chu Qingyan led the way. The path they took was very winding, and it grew increasingly remote.


    Due to therge area of the stadium, it was located close to the suburbs. Under Chu Qingyan''s lead, they arrived at a slightly deste ce in less than five to six minutes.


    "What do you think of this ce as your burial ground?"


    Chu Qingyan could barely control his excitement. After he stood still, he suddenly turned around and looked at Wu Mo. The smile on his face was ferocious.


    "Call all the helpers you have, otherwise you''ll start finding excuses. Don''t you think so?" Wu Mo said softly.


    Chu Qingyan''s expression changed a little, but he was already there. Even if he wanted to, there was no turning. Before he could say anything, dozens of figures appeared from a few hidden ces nearby. Their entire bodies, including their faces were covered in ck clothes, and their bodies emitted an icy cold aura.


    There were no emotions in their eyes, but their movements were incredibly swift, and they instantly surrounded them.


    Xu Wanqing''s expression changed drastically as she solemnly said, "It''s the Longevity Guild''s androids!"


    Wu Mo heard this and looked at the androids that were charging over. A hint of surprise shed in his eyes.


    "Could this be the so-called mechanical ascension due to the weakness of organic bodies?"


    This was the first time Wu Mo had seen a human being transformed by a Divine weapon. These people looked no different from humans, but many of their bones, organs, and so on had been reced by various Divine weapons. They could absorb spirit energy directly and fuse it with their bodies, as such they could increase their strength extremely fast.

 Chapter 426 The Power Of The Earth-Burrowing Shuttle

    At this moment, everyone ignored their shock. Although in terms of strength, none of them were great, they were still cultivators. They moved and reacted quickly.


    As soon as Wu Mo finished speaking, everyone started moving.


    Chu Qingyan was blocked by Wu Mo''s underground shuttle, and his eyes widened in disbelief.


    Even more than a dozen cyborgs in ck were cut off, and only a dozen others surrounded them from behind.


    "Smash those pieces of trash! We can''t let them escape!" Chu Qingyan roared.


    As he spoke, he made the first move.


    On the other side, Wu Mo''s feet moved. With a sh of light, he activated his speed-increasingbat boots. He rushed out like a phantom and directly crashed into a few androids that were rtively dense.


    The androids seemed numb to everything, but in reality, it was only their muscles that were numb. Their eyes were still full of life.


    When they saw Wu Mo rushing over as if he was seeking death, their eyes revealed a strange and ferocious expression. They swung the long saber their hands and did not hesitate to kill Wu Mo.


    Wu Mo''s expression was cold as he shouted, "Frost Ring!"


    Swoosh!


    A light blue halo suddenly bloomed from his body.


    Boom!


    The halo was extremely overwhelming. It expanded like lightning and had a radius of six to seven meters. All the long sabers and the figures behind them were hit by the sudden impact of this halo.


    More terrifyingly, not only was there a violent impact, but the bone-chilling frost also spread throughout their entire bodies in an instant. They were instantly frozen, and they lost control as they were sent flying by the huge impact.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    A few others who followed closely behind were also knocked away. Immediately, the sound of metal colliding rang out. Seven or eight androids turned into rolling gourds and appeared to be in an extremely miserable state.


    Wu Mo only paused for a moment under the force of the counter-attack. He turned his body and reduced any excess force. As he moved, he quickly caught up with the few cyborgs.


    Chi!


    A cold sword light shed before him and instantly beheaded two men in ck who were standing side by side. Before their blood spilled out, he swung his sword and killed two more cyborgs.


    However, the other men in ck had already reacted and quickly retreated to dodge his attacks.


    Wu Mo knew that the best time to kill had passed, so he did not stop. As he moved back, his voice rang out.


    "Retreat!"


    On the other side, Xu Wanqing, Gan Yun, Liu Ze, and Chen Qingbai had also achieved some results. However, it was clear that they were not as familiar with their equipment as Wu Mo, and their timing was slightly off. Thus, their results were slightly inferior. Even so, the four of them had also killed six people.


    Hearing Wu Mo''s voice, the four of them did not linger and quickly flew back into the shuttle.


    At this moment, the flying shuttle was shaking slightly. Chu Qingyan and the cyborgs were attacking the flying shuttle.


    However, aside from the materials that Wu Mo used, the Earth-burrowing Shuttle was protected by sturdy and reflective restrictions. Unless one could shatter the Earth-burrowing Shuttle with a single strike, not only would one fail to destroy it, but one might even be injured.


    After Chen Qingbai entered the Earth-burrowing Shuttle, Wu Mo''s figure shed into it as well. He then formed a seal with his hand and pressed his palm against the floor inside the shuttle. Instantly, the restrictions on the shuttle lit up and the entire Earth-burrowing Shuttle became transparent.


    The others who had already entered the underground shuttle immediately saw Chu Qingyan brandishing arge de with a ferocious expression. He was hacking wildly at the shuttle''s outer wall.

 Chapter 427 Imparting Knowledge

    Chapter 427 Imparting Knowledge


    "Do any of you have the contact information of the four masters? Hurry up and contact them. We can only track them for now. In a while, they''ll leave our sight."


    When Xu Wanqing heard this, she quickly took out her phone and nced at it. Seeing that there was signal on it, she directly dialed Lin Xiangyun''s number.


    "Master Lin, when will the reinforcements arrive? We are currently keeping an eye on Chu Qingyan and the others!"


    "What''s your situation now?" Lin Xiangyun asked.


    Xu Wanqing quickly exined the situation on their side and asked, "Chu Qingyan and the others have already escaped. We are using the underground shuttle to track them, but the underground shuttle has consumed a lot of energy. Moreover, Chu Qingyan and the others are highly vignt. We will not be able to follow them very soon."


    Lin Xiangyun''s expression changed as he said, "Don''t chase them! These rebels from the Longevity Guild are not only cunning but also cruel. Don''t fall into their trap again.


    "The reinforcements from the Special Task Force should be arriving soon," he said. "Don''t take the risk!"


    Wu Mo felt that it made sense too, but he was not willing to let Chu Qingyan off so easily.


    At the same time, he made up his mind to work hard on increasing his strength when he returned. If he had the strength of a five-star warrior, he was confident that he could kill his enemy in this situation.


    Now, he was powerless to face the Longevity Guild and even the foreign races.


    "Forget it. With our strength, even if we discover their stronghold, we can only wait for the Special Task Force to make a move. More importantly, we don''t even have the strength to continue following them."


    Although Wu Mo was unwilling, he didn''t lose his mind. He knew that if he followed them recklessly, he might encounter unpredictable danger.


    Anyway, the Special Task Force was almost there. As long as they were a little faster, they should be able to catch Chu Qingyan and the others by the tail!


    "Let''s go!"


    Wu Mo sank the underground shuttle and disappeared.


    Not long after Wu Mo and the others turned around and left, a few mysterious figures appeared nearby. They weremunicating in an unknownnguage and hoarse voice.


    "I thought that Chu Qingyan would be able to attract a few valuable targets. I didn''t expect that he would still fail in the end."


    "They are lucky, but their luck ising to an end."


    "Let''s go! The people from the Special Task Force will be here soon. We have to give them a surprise!"


    ...


    Not long after, Wu Mo and the others appeared in the stadium''s square with their underground shuttles.


    At this time, the masters had not left, but the surroundings were heavily guarded.


    As soon as the underground shuttle appeared, it was surrounded by more than a dozen six-star cultivators. There were even a few seven-star cultivators who remained motionless.


    " Don''t be nervous. This is our genius cksmith! "


    Gu Shan''s eyes lit up with joy when he saw the underground shuttle appear. Lin Xiangyun and Liu Yu also heaved a sigh of relief.


    They were afraid that Wu Mo was young and impetuous, and that he would be unwilling to ept it. If he were to rashly take the risk and chase after them, he might very well fall into the enemy''s trap. That would be too great a loss for the Nine Provinces'' cksmith Association.


    After Wu Mo arrived, he rested for a while before exining the formations and restrictions to the Grandmasters.


    Especially Wu Mo, who was a genius who had developed the knowledge of transcendent formations and restrictions. He could not afford to lose him.


    If Wu Mo hadn''t insisted, he wouldn''t have allowed him to continue with the bet and would have protected him instead.


    "You brat, you''re really bold. You actually dared to chase after Chu Qingyan. Every time those rebels and foreign tribes take action, they will set up several traps. If they are not careful, they will bepletely wiped out. You have to be more careful in the future."


    Gu Shan patted Wu Mo''s shoulder, his eyes filled with concern.


    "Thank you for your concern, Old Gu! As the saying went, as long as there was life, there was hope. I understand this principle. Although I''m a little unwilling, I won''t joke around with my life!"


    "Mm, it''s good that you understand! Let''s go to the association now. If we weren''t waiting for you, we would have left long ago!"


    "Good!"


    Under the lead of the four masters, the group went straight to the cksmith''s Association building in Crimson City.


    This building did not look very majestic, but it upied arge area.


    ording to Lin Xiangyun''s introduction, this was only on the surface. In fact, there was still a very vast space underground in the cksmith Association. It was evenrger than the surface.


    After Wu Mo arrived, he rested for a while before exining the formations and restrictions to the Grandmasters.


    Although the Nine Provinces did not have any inheritance and research on array formation knowledge, because the array formation was too vast, the highest level could only reach the level of five-star. It was very difficult to go any higher.


    However, restrictions were considered a branch derived from arrays, but they had their own unique principles. The appearance of runes, in particr, seemed to have opened an unknown door for the few of them.


    Wu Mo believed that after the masterspletely understood the restrictions and runes, and then through research and deduction, there would definitely be a huge breakthrough in the relevant aspects of the Nine Provinces in the future.


    Wu Mo stayed at the Red Heart province''s association for three days straight, bringing out all the knowledge he had about formations and restrictions that he didn''t understand.


    Now the situation of the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races was extremely grim. Not only was the number of spatial cracks in the center of Nine Regions increasing, but the probability of spatial cracks appearing in other states was also increasing, making the situation of each state more and more severe.


    If they could make breakthroughs and progress in array formations, restrictions, runes, and other aspects, it would be able to bring great benefits to the entire Nine Provinces against foreign races and ferocious beasts.


    Therefore, Wu Mo didn''t hide anything and took out all the knowledge he had.


    The inner circle of the Red Heart province''s city was very close to the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races, and the situation was much more severe than the White River province.


    "Little Wu! You''re too amazing. It''s not easy for you to be able to research these things. You must have spent a lot of effort, right?" Lin Xiangyun looked at Wu Mo with a smile. The admiration in his eyes was not hidden at all.


    He had actually thought of keeping her in the Red Heart province, but he had mentioned it to test the waters. After Wu Mo rejected it, he had not mentioned it again.


    For a top genius like Wu Mo, he needed a safer environment to continue growing. He couldn''t be pulled up and forced to grow, and he couldn''t be constantly under threat.


    If something really happened, Lin Xiangyun would never forgive himself.


    This was also the reason why he did not insist on asking her to stay.


    "It''s nothing. This is what I should do. This knowledge will only be valuable if it is spread out. If it is only kept in my hands, its value will be greatly reduced. "Only when the country is strong can I live a stable life and have more time to study the knowledge of the supernatural realm and forge more powerful equipment."


    "Good, good, good! Brat Wu, your awareness is really high. It''s a pity that this old man doesn''t have a granddaughter. Otherwise, I would definitely marry her to you!" Gu Shan said with a smile.


    On the third day, Wu Mo had already told them everything he knew. The cksmith Association had already recorded all the video and audio materials forter viewing and research.


    And now, Wu Mo was nning to return to the White River province.

 Chapter 428 Up in Red City

    Chapter 428 Up in Red City


    After returning to the hotel, Wu Mo returned to his room.


    Chu Qingyan, the traitor of the human race, was not killed. This made him very dissatisfied.


    However, it was also a fact that his own strength was insufficient.


    Therefore, even though he was about to leave, he could not waste any time. He entered the Divine Forging Space and started cultivating.


    Previously, he had unlocked three of the eight extraordinary meridians in his body. The strength of a three-star wasparable to that of a five-star or even a six-star. If he could unlock all eight extraordinary meridians and twelve normal meridians, and then choose a suitable cirction method, he might be able to cultivate without the help of a divine weapon.


    Even if he was still unable to break free from the restrictions of the divine weapon, he could stillpletely refine the divine weapon and fuse it into his dantian and other acupoints. This would allow him to have the convenience of a biochemical robot without causing any defects.


    However, he did not have any relevant medical or martial arts knowledge. He only knew a little about it. However, with this as a foundation, he could simte the process of energy flowing through his meridians through the Divine Forging tform. As long as he was given some time, he couldpletely deduce the eight extraordinary meridians, twelve regr meridians, and even the acupoints in his entire body.


    Other than that, he could even go one step further and deduce the so-called secret treasures based on the imagination of the movies and novels in his previous life.


    Of course, these were just ideas. The most important thing now was the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.


    Wu Mo conjured his body on the Divine Craftsman''s tform and began the deduction process. He sat cross-legged and summoned the Thunder Hammer to start the cultivation process.


    ..


    In a residential area in the southern part of Red City, hundreds of Special Task Force soldiers had already surrounded the area.


    Most of the residents in the residential area had been evacuated, but a small number of residents remained.


    However, they had already be hostages, no, sacrifices.


    In an underground space of the residential area, corpses and blood were everywhere. The strange figures of the world and hundreds of ck-clothed Bio-Mechs had gathered here. Chu Qingyan had also changed into ck clothes and merged into them.


    At the very top was a foreign race expert with gray hair and wolf fur on his face.


    On the ground in front of him was a circr formation soaked in blood. At this moment, threads of ck light were gathering above the altar.


    "Lord Marquis, the Special Task Force has already discovered this ce and is about to charge in."


    The wolf-furred old man''s expression turned cold as he said sinisterly, "Attack immediately and block their attacks. We can''t let them ruin our n!"


    "Yes, sir!"


    Everyone below, including Chu Qingyan, bowed in agreement.


    The sacrifice here was already in its final stage, and the n was about to seed. No matter how great the price was, they would not allow it to be destroyed.


    Outside, Zhao Qingchi''s expression was extremely ugly. He looked up into the sky. His spiritual mind could sense that there was a huge force brewing there.


    As the head of the department who had fought with traitors in the country all year round, he understood the situation all too well.


    "Pass on the order! Red City is on alert. Report to the military. Arge spatial rift is about to appear in Red City. Requesting military assistance. At the same time, the cksmith Association will dispatch resources and experts to suppress them!"


    "The rest of you, go all out and destroy the foreign races'' n to open the spatial rift. We''ll fight to the death! "


    "Yes, Sir!"


    More than a hundred soldiers from the Special Task Force responded with a loud bang, and every one of them had an unusually serious expression on their faces.


    Fortunately, Wu Mo had allowed them to lock onto the location of the spatial rift in advance. Otherwise, they would have been held back by the enemy in other ces. Once the spatial rift erupted here, the situation would have instantly copsed.


    This was also the reason why he had been so furious at that time. It was precisely because he had received Wu Mo''s information that he had immediately reacted and was furious.


    However, even if he had discovered it now, it was still toote. If he could not interrupt the opening of the spatial rift, Red City would instantly fall into great danger.


    Arge spatial rift was a ce where Warrior-level aliens could appear.


    As for the warlord level, the lowest was a seven-star alien race, which was usually much stronger than the seven-star human race.


    If an Eight-Star alien sealed his cultivation and came over, then the seal would be removed, and Red City would fall into a desperate situation.


    Red City had a poption of more than ten million. If it fell, it would cause a huge uproar in the Nine States.


    What was even more terrifying was that the area with the densest spatial cracks of the non-humankind had always been besieged in the center of the Nine Provinces, unable to break through the defense line established by the humans of the Nine Provinces.


    Red city was located behind the defense line. If something went wrong here, once it affected the defense line in the central area of the nine provinces, the situation in the nine provinces would take a sharp turn and fall into the worst situation.


    At that time, who knew how many humans would die under the ws of the alien races and murderers.


    As Zhao Qingchi''s voice fell, the order was instantly sent out. Instantly, the entire upper echelons of Red city were shocked. The expressions of the leaders changed drastically, and they quickly entered their state and quickly activated emergency countermeasures.


    Crimson City was located in the southern part of the central region, while the White River Region was located in the northern periphery. Inparison, Crimson City''s location was extremely important.


    Therefore, all the cities in the outer regions of the central region had emergency ns that were instantly activated.


    However, although the news was still under lockdown, the people nearby had already begun to evacuate under the organization of the relevant departments.


    Meanwhile, Zhao Qingchi had already led his subordinates into the district.


    The rebels of the Longevity Association naturally rushed out from underground as well. They were not afraid of death, and they frantically tried to stop the Special Task Force, making it very difficult for them to make any progress.


    Time slowly passed during this process.


    In Red City Hotel, Wu Mo was still cultivating in the Divine Forging Space.


    With the support of the rich essence of heaven and earth in the Divine Forging Space and the top-notch Divine weapon, Mjolnir, his cultivation base improved rapidly. Only after seven days in the space, his cultivation base had broken through three stars and reached four stars.


    This was even when he was already at the peak of three stars. Otherwise, he would have needed even longer.


    Of course, this was also rted to the fact that he hadpletely deduced the eight extraordinary meridians. After all of them were opened, the transcendent energy in his body, which was the True Essence, had be purer and more condensed.


    Now, the quality of the True Essence in his body was more than ten times stronger than cultivators of the same level, or even more.


    After all, after the eight extraordinary meridians were opened, the energy would be refined every time it circted, bing purer. His physique would also increase crazily, and the amount of True Essence he could amodate would also be stronger.


    Although it was only a one-star increase, Wu Mo felt that his current strength had increased by more than ten times.


    "This is the true strength of a cultivator. There is a huge difference between each level, and it is not based on equipment."


    However, after Wu Mo broke through to four-star, he did not continue to cultivate. Instead, he began to study the martial techniques that were circted in this world.


    However, after Wu Mo broke through to four-star, he did not continue to cultivate. Instead, he began to study the martial techniques that were circted in this world.


    He had the power, but if he didn''t know how to use it, it would be useless.


    Martial techniques were Dao protection techniques and could not be underestimated.


    For ordinary people, obtaining martial techniques, especially top-notch martial techniques, required a huge price. There were even requirements for status and qualifications.


    However, these were not worth mentioning to Wu Mo. As long as he made a request, he would immediately be satisfied.


    Although cksmiths did not have a high demand for martial techniques, it was actually the ce with the mostplete martial techniques in the nine provinces.

 Chapter 429 Award Ceremony

    Chapter 429 Award Ceremony


    In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.


    Although Wu Mo''s cultivation progress in the Divine Forging Space was extremely fast, he had only stabilized his four-star strength.


    When he walked out of the training room feeling refreshed, he saw a few men in military uniforms salute him with respect.


    "Lieutenant Wu, have youpleted your cultivation?" thesecond lieutenant stepped forward and asked respectfully.


    "Yes!"


    Wu Mo nodded, although he did not understand what the other party meant.


    "What''s the matter?" he asked.


    Wu Mo had some guesses from the joy on the second lieutenant''s face.


    It seemed that the battle for the city''s defense had ended sessfully.


    With that thought, Wu Mo secretly opened his points panel.


    There were 1,204,558 points!


    His points had increased by a million!


    Did the weapon he forged y a decisive role on the battlefield?


    Otherwise, why would his points increase so much?


    "Lieutenant, themander of the military region has instructed me to invite you to his ce when youe out of seclusion."


    "Commander? Tu Haichuan, themander of the southern war zone?" Wu Mo eximed with eyes filled with shock.


    Being themander of a war zone, his authority was even greater than the governor of the Red Heart province.


    Why would such a person want to see him?


    However, since they were already there, he would go along. From the soldiers'' attitude, he could tell that the military did not have any ill intentions toward him.


    "Sounds good! Please lead the way!"


    With that, Wu Mo boarded a chariot as a group of soldiers led the way.


    Wu Mo only realized how serious the crisis in the city was when he went outside.


    Rubble and debris could be seen everywhere, and there were traces of blood left behind by the foreign races. The people around him were relieved that they had survived the disaster.


    Everything in his surroundings showed the brutality of the previous battle.


    Soon, the convoy entered the Red City auditorium.


    To Wu Mo''s surprise, he saw no less than 50 high-performance tanks parked in the parking lot.


    Wu Mo''s expression suddenly became a little gloomy.


    He had originally thought that he would not cultivate for long.


    Who knew that it would actually take him a whole week to cultivate?


    He had missed the battle.


    Soon, the convoy entered the Red City auditorium.


    To Wu Mo''s surprise, he saw no less than 50 high-performance tanks parked in the parking lot.


    At the same time, more chariots wereing.


    Not long after, Wu Mo stepped down from the chariot under the watchful eyes of a group of soldiers.


    In an instant, the entire parking lot seemed to change, and Wu Mo heard the discussions.


    "Yes, it''s Wu Mo. I saw his photo in the briefing."


    "I didn''t expect the master who created the underground shuttle to be so young!"


    "You might not know this, but he developed many of the practical equipment in thetest battle!"


    "No wonder the military hasn''t held an award ceremony for so many days. They must have been waiting for him!"


    "That''s probably the case. It shouldn''t be long before Red City''s big shots arrive."


    As the sounds of discussion grew further and further away, Wu Mo was led into a small but exquisite conference room.


    Wu Mo finally discovered that he was on this trip to receive an award.


    Based on the previous discussions, Wu Mo could sense that his recent contribution was probably no small matter.


    He waited for half an hour in nervousness and excitement before a major pushed open the door to the conference room.


    After the man gave Meng Chao a salute, he said, "Lieutenant Wu Mo, the award ceremony is about to begin. Please follow me!"


    Wu Mo was truly shocked by the lineup.


    "Major, can you tell me why I''ve been summoned here?" Wu Mo asked.


    He had to ask!


    After all, a major had lowered himself to invite him out.


    One could imagine how prestigious the award was.


    The major smiled. "You don''t have to be polite, Lieutenant Wu Mo. My name is Liu Bin, and I''m just a few years older than you. If you don''t mind, you can call me Brother Liu."


    "What? That''s great, Brother Liu!"


    Mr. Wu Mo taken aback for a moment, but he quickly addressed him.


    Liu Bin smiled and patted Wu Mo on the shoulder. "Brother Wu, Red City is safe all thanks to you! If it wasn''t for you, I would have died!" he said mysteriously.


    While they walked, Liu Bin recounted the battle, and Wu Mo finally felt the terror of the foreign invaders.


    As it turned out, due to the sudden arrival of invaders at the beginning of the battle, Red City''s defense almost copsed.


    After Wu Mo''s underground shuttle disyed a powerful performance at the conference, the military ordered for it to be immediately mass-produced.


    Therefore, arge number of underground shuttles entered the battlefield at the crucial moment.


    In an instant, the situation on the battlefield changed drastically.


    The city guards who had been holed up in the city began their counterattack.


    After several days of retaliation, the non-humankind had no choice but to retreat, and the crisis in Red City waspletely resolved.


    Everyone remembered the underground shuttle that yed a crucial role on the battlefield.


    Wu Mo, who had created the underground shuttle, had be a well-known figure among all factions.


    To win over Wu Mo, the military decided to give him a higher position.


    Hence, Wu Mo was invited to ept this honor just as he came out of seclusion.


    When Wu Mo sat in the front row of the auditorium, his confusion and bewilderment from before instantly disappeared.


    Right then, his heart was filled with calmness and solemnity.


    He could feel the respect from every officer around him.


    During this moment of glory, all hisrades had gathered there to witness him reach new heights.


    The atmosphere of the glorious ceremony was filled with enthusiasm, and the auditorium echoed with praises.


    "Comrades, we are gathered here today to celebrate Comrade Wu Mo''s promotion to a Thriving officer. He is unwavering and noble, the embodiment of wisdom and courage.


    "He is dedicated to his work, and he respects his elders. When ites to his projects, he is eager to learn, and he arrives at intelligent conclusions.


    "Comrade Wu Mo has created countless miracles for China! He has forged powerful weapons for national defense in session and contributed to the advancement of science and technology for all mankind.


    "Comrade Wu Mo is well-deserving of his position as a military officer. Hence, this is the best reward we can give him.


    "Before themendation ceremony begins, let us give a warm round of apuse to Comrade Wu Mo!"


    Thunderous apuse echoed in the auditorium.


    The Thriving level was a special military rank for cksmiths in the army.


    The special military ranks were divided into Budding, Seedling, Thriving, and Pir.


    The Budding-level officers enjoyed the lowest benefits of a major general.


    Wu Mo''s strong military rank meant that he could already take on the responsibility and engage in a scientific research career alone.


    At this moment, Wu Mo was deeply shocked and proud.


    Jumping several levels in a row showed how much importance the military attached to him.


    It was an honor for so many of his colleagues to witness his promotion to a Thriving officer.


    "Next, let''s invite Comrade Wu Mo to the stage."


    "y the military music!"


    Commander Tu controlled the rhythm of the ceremony with his sonorous and powerful voice.


    The passionate military music echoed in the auditorium. Wu Mo stood up and the spotlight shone on him.


    Wu Mo walked to the center of the stage with steady steps. He saluted Commander Tu first, then saluted hisrades below the stage.


    Then, he turned around and looked at Commander Tu. Their eyes met until the military music ended.

 Chapter 430 Indigestion, Requires Your Treatment

    After the military music ended, the soldiers beside Commander Tu immediately walked forward. There were several medals on the tray in their hands, and the most eye-catching one was for the Thriving rank.


    The other medals were first-ss merit medals and other honorary titles.


    "Comrade Wu Mo, are you ready? epting the Thriving military rank means that you will no longer be able to move and travel freely like an ordinary person. Your actions will be highly restricted."


    Strong military officers were not only brave warriors in military uniforms but also important chess pieces in national strategies.


    As a result, their actions were strictly scrutinized, even though they could travel freely in the country.


    However, they were prohibited from going abroad.


    If an ident happened to an outstanding talent like Wu Mo, the losses would be incalcble.


    Wu Mo already understood and approved of these rules, so he said without hesitation, "Commander, I ept it, and I''m prepared!"


    Hearing this, Commander Tu revealed a satisfied smile on his face. Then, he took off the stripes of Wu Mo''s previous rank and reced them with the Thriving stripes.


    At this moment, Wu Mo''s heart was filled with anticipation. A new journey was about to begin now that he had gone from a Budding officer to a Thriving officer.


    "You are now wearing the military stripes of the Thriving rank. Please deliver your eptance speech before yourrades."


    Commander Tu patted Wu Mo on the shoulder.


    Wu Mo took a deep breath andposed himself. Then, he picked up the microphone and gave a speech.


    "Thank you, leaders andrades, for your support. I feel extremely honored to attend this promotion ceremony. Once again, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone.


    "I wouldn''t have gotten here today without the guidance of the leaders, and I couldn''t have done it without the mentors who have taught me.


    "Although we''ve had our misunderstandings, they''ve always given me careful guidance in my work. On this important day, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my instructors!


    "At the same time, I would also like to thank myrades for their trust andpanionship during this period of time. Without everyone''s cooperation, I, Wu Mo, would not be where I am today. Thank you again!


    "As Chinese soldiers, we should be proud of our country and contribute to it.


    "That''s all I have to say. Thank you, everyone!"


    Soon after, thunderous apuse reverberated in the arena.


    Wu Mo''s simple and sincere words resonated with everyone''s hearts.


    There were no flowery words, only heartfelt emotions.


    Following his speech, Commander Tu distributed rewards to the others such as Xu Wanqing, Gan Yun, Liu Ze, Chen Qingbai, and so on.


    The crowd apuded enthusiastically for them as well.


    Before long, the ceremony ended.


    Since the battle had just ended, most of them still had important things to do.


    They did not choose to stay for lunch. Instead, they returned to their posts immediately.


    However, many others chose to stay. After all, this was a good opportunity for them to get to know each other.


    The lunchsted till 1.30 pm. After Commander Tu gave his blessings, everyone left.


    Wu Mo prepared to leave too, but just as he reachedthe door, Commander Tu and two other leaders sincerely invited him to have some tea with them.


    At first, Wu Mo thought that the leaders were just being polite, so he tactfully rejected them.


    However, after several rejections, he realized that the leaders did have something important to discuss with him.


    With a specialist''s guidance, the four of them arrived at a quaint pavilion.


    The secretary had already prepared tea and snacks, so the leader of the air force spoke first.


    "Little Wu, we hope that you''ll pay special attention to a couple of things."


    Wu Mo immediately held his breath and listened. Although he was already a Thriving officer, the three leaders before him were all his immediate superiors.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Sir, please go ahead."


    "This matter actually involves an arrangement and a problem."


    "Have you heard the story about pulling up seedlings to help them grow?"


    Wu Mo was stunned. He did not understand why the leader suddenly mentioned this.


    Was he hinting that Wu Mo had been promoted too quickly?


    "Leader, are you referring to me or something else when you mention this story?" he asked tentatively.


    "I''m referring to the excessive growth you''ve caused in the military industry," the air force''s leader replied with a smile.


    Wu Mo was a little confused at first, but after careful consideration, he immediately understood the meaning behind the leader''s words.


    In the past few years, equipment cksmiths had basically specialized in all kinds of advanced equipment.


    As a result, the level of military equipment was uneven.


    Some soldiers still used traditional rifles, while others were equipped with exoskeletons and electromaic rifles.


    From the previous exchange conference, the military bigwigs could see that Wu Mo had the potential to close this gap.


    Obviously, the leaders'' decision to put Wu Mo in an important position had not been made on a whim.


    They had noticed Wu Mo a long time ago.


    However, Wu Mo''s heart was currently in turmoil.


    Was Commander Tu asking him to retreat from the front lines and stop developingbat equipment but focus on auxiliary equipment instead?


    He was not looking forward to this.


    He had just advanced, and he wanted to make his ambition known. Why was it being put on hold?


    Despite that, he shook his head. He believed that the leaders had more important missions waiting for him.


    "Sir, I understand your concern. Indeed, the current equipment listing is seriously fragmented. But could you be more specific?" Wu Mo asked earnestly.


    "Since you understand the problem I''m referring to, let''s talk about my suggestion," the air force leader said with a smile.


    "The crux of the problem is that we have greatbat power, but weck the corresponding logistics support system."


    The mecha was powerful, but the logistics and maintenance system was still iplete. Although the airborne tform was superior, it had yet to reachrge-scale production.


    "What I mean is, try to develop other things, such as the Imperial Dragon Device and the nuclear fusion power nts, so that the rear has time to ''digest'' the existing equipment.


    "If not, develop Imperial Dragon Devices and nuclear fusion devices that are more suitable for frontline use," the leader continued.


    "Powerful equipment is important, but ''indigestion'' might cause a lot of trouble. "


    The air force''s leader expressed his concern tactfully.


    In other words, some of Wu Mo''s equipment was too high-end.


    The army and the research institutes did not have time to understand them.


    If this situation continued, it would inevitably lead to "indigestion" and even "diarrhea."


    To be more specific, many of his equipment did not have mass-produced versions. Although the Imperial Dragon Device provided the strongest defense in China, it was not suitable for front-line use.


    Although Wu Mo''s various equipment were powerful, only small teams could use them, so they had a limited effect on China''s overall equipment level.


    Therefore, Wu Mo would either help to break down the existing equipment or develop more practical and "easy-to-digest" equipment.


    Once he could make out the leader''s intentions, Wu Mo expressed his understanding. "Don''t worry, I''ll work hard to develop equipment that meets our needs and contributes to the development of our country. This is under the premise of ensuring the quality of the equipment."


    Wu Mo and the three leaders discussed more details.

 Chapter 431 Lost Youth

    The tea partysted until six in the afternoon.


    The sky was getting dark, and the discussion was over, so the three leaders announced the end of the tea party.


    With that, Wu Mo stood up and bade farewell to the three leaders.


    There were three personal assistants and guards next to him.


    The setting sun shone on his body, which made him feel warm and rxed.


    After Wu Mo bade farewell to the leaders, he pondered over their suggestions to develop some auxiliary equipment simr to the Dragon Shield.


    In other words, it would give the back line some time to process things. Otherwise, if too many pieces of advanced equipment appeared at once, they would not be able to y their role on the front line.


    ''Alright, I''ll focus on developing support equipment next.''


    The Dragon Shield was a good example.


    Perhaps a mind control device, hyperspace trantor, and gic mutator too?


    Wu Mo could not help but shiver when he thought of the strange device that had been sealed.


    "Forget about the mutant. That thing is too strange. Even if I want to develop it, the higher-ups won''t agree. Not only will it damage the image of the army, but it will also damage the image of the country."


    Wu Mo thought, ''Besides, even if I want to create a gic weapon, I have to use it well.


    ''For example, improving physical fitness and instantly elevating ordinary soldiers to the level of special forces or top athletes.''


    Wu Mo pondered, ''Turning humans into orcs seems feasible, but it''s definitely not appropriate.''


    After thinking about it, Wu Mo still could not make up his mind. He decided to take action first before making a decision.


    ...


    Once he returned to the dormitory, Wu Mo immediately applied for leave.


    His superior quickly approved it and sent the relevant documents to him in less than half an hour.


    After receiving authorization, Wu Mo boarded a helicopter.


    At four in the morning, the helicopternded on the tarmac.


    After Wu Mo returned to his dormitory, he immediately fell asleep.


    By the time he woke up, it was already noon the next day.


    Following a quick lunch, Wu Mo packed his luggage and was sent to the airport by a special car and specialist.


    As an S-rank officer, Wu Mo was required to be apanied by his assistant and guards.


    Wu Mo had tried to decline, but the higher-ups firmly refused.


    Since he did not know the direction of his research and development, he might as well rx.


    Wu Mo decided to go home and visit his family.


    Now that he had returned home in glory, he would not return empty-handed. He still needed to bring the necessary gifts.


    Before boarding the ne, Wu Mo received an order.


    Research Institute No. 261 was assigned to him as his exclusiveboratory.


    There, he could study the projects that interested him.


    Not long after, two of the entourage members carried a lot of gifts, and Wu Mo also carried a lot of gifts. His group arrived at his home, and he knocked on the door.


    Wu Yan was still studying in Shanghai, and it was a critical period for her PhD. She needed to devote herself to her studies, so Wu Mo did not tell her that he was going home.


    The door opened with a click, and Wu Mo''s mother was standing at the door.


    She was sewing a scarf, so she had a needle and thread in her hand.


    "Mom, I''m back."


    "You''re finally back. Your father and I missed you so much! Hey, who are these two youngrades?" Wu Mo''s mother asked with widened eyes.


    "Mom, I''m already a cadre now. This is an entourage arranged by my higher-ups. I just wanted to bring something home, so I asked them to help me carry it," Wu Mo exined with a smile.


    Hearing this, his mother could not stop smiling.


    After all, her son was being served by someone else. How could she not be happy?


    "Come in quickly and have some tea, the three of you."<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Wu Mo led two guys in his entourage into the house. After they had some tea, they left first with the excuse that they needed to make some reports.


    Just as Wu Mo and his mother were about to chat, Wu Mo''s father returned home.


    "You two, wait here. I''ll make a good meal for you."


    Wu Mo''s mother immediately went out to buy groceries, and Wu Mo started chatting with his father about work.


    A few hourster, a table full of sumptuous food was ced on the table. They were all Wu Mo''s favorite dishes when he was young.


    After eating the nd food in the cafeteria for a long time, Wu Mo could not help but eat a few more bowls of rice when he tasted the home-cooked dishes.


    Once they ate their fill, Mr. and Mrs. Wu sat on the couch to rest.


    Wu Mo brewed two cups of good tea for them. When he served them tea, he realized that his parents looked quite old.


    His heart could not help but ache.


    Due to the physicalbor they had done in their early years, many indelible marks of time were left on his parents'' faces.


    His father was approaching retirement age due to histe marriage. His hair was thinning, and his shoulders that once supported the entire family were no longer straight.


    He had clear vision in the past, but now, he was required to wear presbyopic sses.


    His mother''s face was also full of wrinkles, and her hair had turned from white to silver in two years.


    The hands that had once painstakingly raised him were now full of wrinkles.


    Time was indeed a merciless butcher.


    Wu Mo''s mood was heavy during the family conversation.


    "Son, is there something on your mind?" his motherasked with concern.


    "If you''re tired, take a shower and get some rest."


    Wu Mo nodded and walked to the bathroom.


    Before he left the bathroom, he looked at himself in the mirror and thought, ''Am I getting old too? My little sister, themanders who took care of me, and my oldrades have all advanced in years, and some are even retiring.''


    A thought shed through Wu Mo''s mind. ''The biological modification project can''t be dyed anymore. I have to start immediately! I want to prove to the world that aging is a disease, and that diseases can be cured!''


    This was Wu Mo''s first attempt at cross-disciplinary research.


    Although he had always been passionate about equipment manufacturing, it did not mean that he could not get involved in the field of life science.


    Now, through the systematic research of biological medicine, he would take a big step across the field.


    With the confidence of the military system, Wu Mo moved forward courageously.


    He was still thinking hard about how toplete the task given to him. Now that he had a clear direction, he could not only meet the requirements of his superiors, but also dy the aging of his rtives and friends. How wonderful was this?


    As he leveled up, the influence of the equipment created by Wu Mo continued to expand.


    His points soared at an astonishing speed. In just one day, he had gained more than five million points.


    Wu Mo thought to himself, ''What is the limit of the military system?''


    Although Wu Mo was not sure, ording to the system, its ability could break through the boundaries of the universe and even reach the realm of creating and destroying the universe in science fiction.


    However, at that time, the military points might be even greater than the bacteria on Wu Mo''s body.


    Wu Mo did not care about the ethics of biological modification.


    To him, his current ultimate goal was to continuously strengthen China.


    The priority in his heart far exceeded the ethical problems brought about by the modification.


    Besides, seeing that his parents were already old, what was the use of discussing ethics?


    Longevity was an endless temptation for the middle-aged and elderly.


    Putting aside the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, the rich were now more willing to spend tens of millions.


    They even spent hundreds of millions of yuan to buy health supplements.


    Many had experienced the journey of war, but just when they could enjoy life, they found that they were stumbling and unable to taste slightly greasy food.


    On the surface, they seemed calm, but in their hearts, they yearned to experience more of the world.

 Chapter 432 New Research Direction

    Wu Mo opened the system''s store page decisively.


    Before he started, he needed to understand more.


    "System, open the store!"


    Wu Mo searched for the items he had found earlier.


    [Beginner Human Life Potion: This medicine can be used on humans. After consumption, it can release special protein and activate a human''s blood system. It can extend one''s lifespan by up to 100 years and has the effect of rejuvenation!


    [Selling price: Five million points. Prerequisites: Introduction to Human Life, Hematopoietic Stem Cell Science, Advanced Pharmaceutical Production!]


    As the name suggested, this potion could prolong human life.


    Its core ability was to regenerate human cells, thereby restoring the functions of various organs.


    The biggest highlight was the extension of life expectancy by 100 years, extending the life expectancy of the elderly, who might die at the age of 80, to 180 years old.


    This way, humans could live a lifetime longer.


    "System, what is the effect of extending one''s lifespan by 100 years?"


    "The specific effect depends on the individual''s constitution. One''s lifespan can be prolonged by up to 100 years.


    "If a person''s physique is not good enough, he can only prolong his life by 10 years, but there is a certain rejuvenation effect. It can make a person''s physique younger by a maximum of 20 years."


    Wu Mo did not immediately decide on this n. He pondered and said "I can use this drug in military applications to revive soldiers who are about to retire."


    "It may not be as effective on military personnel as it is on civilians, but it''s enough to deal with current issues. Unfortunately, I don''t have enough points. At present, I only have five million points. If I continue to study other things, my research progress may stagnate."


    "I''ve browsed the system''s store, so let''s take a look at the system''s customizations."


    [Tailored research and development: Enter the project or technical requirements here, and the system will automatically develop it ording to the required factors. Different requirements will consume different points!]


    With that, Wu Mo quickly began to customize it.


    [Project Requirements: Research and develop a device that can increase the lifespan of humans on the Blue!]


    The system provided feedback soon after.


    [Project creationpleted. Initial requirement: 50 million points. Your current points are insufficient. Unable to start R&D.]


    Fifty million?


    Was there a malfunction in the system?


    The potion earlier only sold for five million points. How did it suddenly jump to 10 million?


    ''Maybe I didn''t set a limit,'' Wu Mo thought to himself.


    ''I should rify the value of the increase in lifespan.''


    "Again! This time, the restrictions are even stricter! Not only do we have to increase the lifespan, but we also have to specify the race. It''s best if it''s only used by the Chinese so that it doesn''t fall into the wrong hands."


    As a Chinese, Wu Mo naturally prioritized China.


    Other items might be avable formercial use, but the lifespan-prolonging drug should not. That would cause endless trouble.


    If the drug was used on old men, China would be in trouble.


    [Project Requirements: Research and develop a cost-friendly life-increasing drug. It has to be suitable for the Chinese people, and the experimental carriers are all humans.


    [It must have a certain rejuvenating effect. It should also be cost-friendly. If it is not possible to save points, pick the most suitable n.]


    Wu Mo made his request clear, and the system continued to provide feedback at an astonishing speed.


    [Human Life Potion: ording to your request, the system has developed a cost-friendly human life potion suitable for the Chinese people.


    [The maximum lifespan that this medicine can provide is 30 years. It is suitable for people aged 30 and above. The principle is to stimte cell division factors. At the same time, it has a certain rejuvenation effect. It can make one''s physique 20 years younger at most. The effect varies ording to the user''s physique.


    [Note: Requires two million points. You currently have enough points. Would you like to begin research immediately?


    [Note: After injecting the Life Potion, the user must quickly enter a nourishment cabin and sleep to maximize the effect of the potion.]


    Wu Mo pondered seriously.


    "Nourishment cabin? It sounds pretty simr to the hibernation pods in movies."


    Actually, he could have chosen one of the system''s readymade ns instead of a customized n.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    However, this was his first time in the field of biology. The ns given by the system were often conservative, and they might not meet his expectations. Therefore, Wu Mo decided to customize one.


    "Two million points isn''t a lot. Now, one project can give me millions of points."


    "Let''s begin! System, please select this product."


    The system quickly responded.


    [The product, Human Life Potion, has been sessfully selected!


    [The research and development of the product, Human Life Potion, has officially begun!]


    The next moment, a familiar R&D interface appeared before Wu Mo.


    [Human Life Potion: Increases the lifespan of humans. It is especially suitable for Chinese people and has a certain rejuvenating effect. (Development progress: 0%)


    [Requires auxiliary facility: Nourishment cabin!]


    [Prerequisite technology: Comprehensive theory of human lifespan extension, reactivation theory of blood-forming system, advanced drug manufacturing technology, and theory of nourishment cabin manufacturing!


    [As this product is custom-made, every 10,000 points will increase the development progress by 1%. Self-mastery of the prerequisite technology will reduce the points required for research and development!]


    "Let''s start researching the prerequisite technology now!


    "I''ll end my vacation at home as soon as possible and return to Research Laboratory No. 261."


    During the past few days of learning, Wu Mo did not find the biology field particrly difficult to deal with.


    This was all thanks to his years of experience in scientific research, as well as his mature scientific and worldview.


    In addition to the theoretical and experimental data provided by the system, he had achieved remarkable results in just a few days.


    "It''s truly not easy to delve into other fields.


    "Basic knowledge cannot be ignored.


    "This biotechnology is obviously beyond modern. I need to consolidate the knowledge of this era''s biotechnology first."


    While he learned the system''s prerequisite techniques, Wu Mo also spent more time on the basics.


    The study room at home was filled withprehensive books on the fields of medicine and biology.


    A few dayster, Wu Mo finished his studies and sighed with emotion.


    "It''s not simple. I feel like my intelligence is limited, and I have to think of a way to improve myself.


    "I still have to rely on the system.


    "I''ll be able to return to Research Laboratory No. 261 after half a month of rest."


    Half a monthter, Wu Mo and Xu Wanqing met at the entrance of Research Laboratory No. 261.


    Being an outstanding cksmith, she entered theboratory as Wu Mo''s assistant.


    The two returned to the courtyard together.


    Wu Mo''s return made the entire researchboratory boil.


    With his outstanding talent, many of theboratory''s members worshiped him.


    During his lunch break, he was surrounded by everyone.


    "Leader Wu, you''re amazing. You''re my idol!"


    "That''s right. Your space device is too magical. It''s the most advanced weapon device on Earth. It''s thousands of times more powerful than the Dragon Shield device!"


    "Leader Wu, are you still epting disciples?"


    "Are you trying to be Leader Wu''s disciple? Stop dreaming!"


    Wu Mo was touched as he faced the crowd''s warm wee.


    "Thank you for your praise. If there''s an opportunity in the future, I''ll definitely work with you on a research project!"


    This was a greeting and a promise.

 Chapter 433 Human Life Extension Potion

    Everyone nodded. Just as they were about to ask more questions, Chief Engineer Li and the hospital head appeared.


    "Fellow colleagues, Comrade Wu Mo has traveled far and is quite tired. Everyone, go back and rest!"


    Only then did his colleagues leave one after another.


    After everyone dispersed, Chief Engineer Li and the hospital head immediately invited Wu Mo to the office.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, you''re really amazing. You''re not only a role model for all researchers but also the chief judge of China''s highest scientific research award. You''re also the chief support officer. Your achievements far exceed ours!" Chief Engineer Li sighed.


    "You''re right. I''m only a senior colonel, but you''ve been busy, Chief Engineer Wu."


    After the hospital head finished speaking, he handed over two cups of hot tea.


    Xu Wanqing and Wu Mo took the tea.


    "Chief Engineer Li, you and the hospital head are too modest. In the early years, the two of you took great care of me and contributed greatly."


    The hospital head smiled and asked, "Now that you''re back from vacation, do you have any ideas about your future research?"


    Wu Mo kept quiet for a moment. After all, he could not say that he was researching biological modification technology, right?


    Therefore, Wu Mo chose to answer tactfully.


    "I''ve already made some arrangements. I n to move from the macro domain to the micro domain.


    "Previously, the old chief advised me that the logistics system and relevant departments would find it difficult to digest the development of too many advanced big-scale equipment. He suggested that I move in another direction.


    "Therefore, I''ve decided to reevaluate the field of individualbat."


    The lifespan increasing potion could only be used by one warrior at a time. It was obviously a single soldier''s equipment.


    Wu Mo felt that there was nothing wrong with his answer.


    Chief Engineer Li and the hospital head were slightly confused. Wu Mo''s answer really confused them.


    "What do you mean by individualbat? Are you referring to exoskeletons or armor?


    "The Chinese army has apparently arrived at a dead end. If you want to research individual equipment, I''m guessing that it''s likely going to be nanotechnology equipment," Chief Engineer Li spected.


    Chief Engineer Li''s full name was Li Yuanwei. He was a rare academician specially appointed by the military to assist and guide Wu Mo''s research.


    Since the military held Wu Mo in high regard, he had received special instructions from them.


    As long as Wu Mo did not make any major mistakes in his research direction, he could decide on his own research topic.


    Wu Mo denied his previous spection.


    "Chief Engineer Li, my research isn''t about nanotechnology but a n to improve thebat effectiveness of soldiers from the inside out."


    Chief Engineer Li and the hospital head were still confused. Meanwhile, Xu Wanqing could sense that his n did not involve nanotechnology equipment.


    It involved increasing the soldiers''bat strength from the inside out, which was really hard to figure out.


    "Little Wu, are you considering adding mechanical modifications to the soldiers'' bodies?" the hospital head made a guess.


    Chief Engineer Li immediately disagreed. "I think it has to be something else. That''s not feasible at the moment."


    As such, the leaders could not help but feel even more confused.


    "Could it be biological modifications?" the hospital head asked.


    Wu Mo could not help butugh.


    "I''ll just be direct!


    "But don''t be surprised. I made my decision after careful consideration."


    Since things hade to this, Wu Mo decided to be honest. After all, there was no need to hide anything.


    "Just as you expected, I would like to study biotechnology."


    "To be specific, it''s technology that can extend one''s lifespan. It also has a certain effect of rejuvenation. In other words, it can improve the user''s physique to a certain extent, even though it may not seem obvious."


    The meeting room fell into a dead silence.


    Biological modification technology?


    It was not a new field, and many countries were already researching subjects rted to it.


    The European countries in thest century were ssic examples.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    China had also dabbled in this field before, and the core theme revolved around qigong. Even the entire army had adopted it.


    However, the results of these studies had not been encouraging.


    Now, Wu Mo was proposing to research biological modification technology?


    "Chief Engineer Wu, can you really do research on biotechnology?" the hospital head asked hesitantly.


    "As far as I know, you''re skilled in forging equipment, aren''t you?"


    Wu Mo nodded slightly and replied, "You''re right. I specialize in equipment forging, but in my spare time, I also dabble in the field of biological modification.


    "I''ve thought about it and made my decision.


    "I believe that there''s no problem in researching this.


    "Besides, I already have a preliminary idea, and I even have some results."


    This remark shocked everyone present.


    Chief Engineer Li, the hospital head, and even the usually calm Xu Wanqing were slightly taken aback at this moment.


    They stared at Wu Mo with their eyes wide open because they realized that increasing one''s lifespan was the ultimate proposition.


    Even if the effect was minimal, even if they could only extend a person''s lifespan by a few days, it was enough to change things.


    The head and Chief Engineer Li subconsciously thought that Wu Mo was joking.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, China doesn''t celebrate April Fool''s Day. Stop teasing us!"


    "That''s right. We acknowledge your achievements in the field of physics and the military, but biological modification is a field that you''ve never had a hand in. Even if you''ve studied it in your spare time, this won''t work."


    The two leaders looked worried.


    On the contrary, Xu Wanqing had full confidence in Wu Mo.


    "I believe in Chief Engineer Wu," she said firmly. "He has the ability to develop biological modification technology."


    Xu Wanqing''s words eased Chief Engineer Li and the hospital head''s mood.


    "Now that I think about it, you do seem capable. Also, it would be impossible for me to stop you from researching this project."


    Wu Mo''s current military rank was even higher than that of the hospital head, so thetter could not interfere with his work.


    "Thank you for your understanding. I will inform the old chief of this news."


    Chief Engineer Li and the hospital head then asked Wu Mo a little about his life. Half an hourter, Wu Mo returned to his dormitory.


    "The dormitories in the research institute are really the same. It''s as if they got the same designer.


    "Let me inform the old chief first."


    This cross-border scientific research journey was bound to be fraught with thorns and difficulties. Therefore, he needed a mighty figure to clear the obstacles ahead.


    The old chief was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate. Not only was he Wu Mo''s direct superior in the field of scientific research, but he was also one of the most authoritative leaders in the military.


    Wu Mo quickly dialed the old chief''s number.


    "Chief, we haven''t talked on the phone for more than half a year. How have you been?"


    "Cut the crap. If you have something to say, say it. Don''t beat around the bush."


    "Haha, you really understand me!" Wu Mo then told him his n.


    "Chief, I''ve sessfullypleted my previous project. I''m preparing to start a new project now."


    After hearing Wu Mo''s words, the old chief was immediately filled with interest.


    "Tell me, what are you nning to do?"


    "I''m going to develop a potion to extend human life!"


    "What? Could you repeat that?" The old general sounded surprised.


    Wu Mo was stunned for a moment before he quickly exined, "Chief, I''m talking about a Human Life Extension Potion. It can increase the user''s lifespan and strengthen the user''s physique at the same time. It will also have a rejuvenation effect."


    Right then, the other end of the phone was silent.

 Chapter 434 The Institute Of Yin And Yang

    "Little Wu, hurry and bring yourself over here. Let''s discuss this matter properly," the old chief ordered when he spoke again.


    He was obviously very interested in this project.


    Wu Mo understood that the old chief had reached the retirement age. Whether it was to enjoy life or continue working, this drug was going to be useful.


    After he ended the call, Wu Mo immediately took a flying car and set off. He arrived at the old chief''s headquarters soon after.


    Once his identity was verified, someone led Wu Mo to the old chief''s office.


    Time flew by. After many years, Wu Mo finally met this elder again.


    Wu Mo clearly remembered the scene when the old chief visited the Fifth Research Department.


    Ever since, the old chief had secretly helped him numerous times.


    The old chief''s body was not as healthy as before, but his eyes still shone with fire. Although he had aged, his spirit remained high.


    "Good afternoon, Chief!"


    "Little Wu, I''ve been waiting for you for a long time. Tell me about the Human Life Extension Potion."


    Wu Mo once again introduced the basic effects of the medicine to the old chief.


    "Chief, I''m confident that I''llplete researching and developing this drug within two years. Most of the time will be spent on theoretical research. And this time is different from the past. I don''t need a huge research team. My researchboratory can do it."


    The field of biotechnology waspletely different from the field of physical chemistry.


    The military projects that Wu Mo had researched in the past often involved the production ofrge-scale equipment. They required arge amount of workshop space and a variety of researchers as well as technical support.


    However, the requirements in the field of biotechnology were rtively lower.


    With the technology provided by the system, Wu Mo did not have to go through many experimental and clinical stages like he would have to in traditional medicine. He only needed to operate his research ording to the information provided by the system. This was his advantage.


    "Alright, if you need anything, feel free to let me know. I''ll support youpletely," the old chief promised without hesitation.


    He believed in Wu Mo and the importance he attached to this project.


    "I''m old, but I don''t want to retire early. Your Human Life Extension Potion is very important to me, so do your best.


    "Also, I don''t think you need to build a newboratory. Let''s go to the specialized biological research institute. There are advanced equipment and professional teams there. If you need the support of the research teamter, you''ll get more direct help."


    The old chief was thoughtful, and Wu Mo immediately agreed to his suggestion.


    "Alright, I''ll go along with your arrangements."


    This project was of great significance and received unprecedented support.


    When he left the old chief''s office, Wu Mo saw a satisfied smile on his face.


    ...


    Wu Mo upied his time with studying for 20 days and rushed to the biological research institute after that.


    The institute was located in a sparsely popted area. Although it was considered remote,pared to other deste ces, Wu Mo could still see signs of life there.


    Over thest 20 days, Wu Mo had gained a deep understanding of the specific principles of the Life Extension Potion.


    ''I wonder what my colleagues at the Institute of Biology will think of this project.


    ''Will they be surprised or happy? Will they support or oppose it?''


    These were all environmental factors.


    While he was immersed in his thoughts, his car arrived at the biological research institute.


    As usual, someone came to wee them.


    The biology field was different from the physics field. The proportion of female scientists was higher. In addition, the Institute of Biology had recently undergone a change of staff, so there were many young scientists.


    Of course, they were not too young.


    Aside from the young interns, the core scientists were around 30 years old, and the older ones were in their 40s or 50s.


    These people had begun working in this unit directly after graduating from university.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    The moment he got out of the car, Wu Mo realized that his project would definitely receive the Institute of Biology''s full support.


    No woman could resist the temptation of eternal youth, even if they were rational scientists.


    As soon as he got out of the car, Wu Mo was surrounded by people.


    "Wee to our research institute, Chief Engineer Wu!"


    "Chief Engineer Wu, we''ve been waiting for you for a long time!"


    Wu Mo looked around and could not help but feel surprised.


    All he saw were beautiful female scientists.


    Now, Wu Mo finally understood the true meaning behind the old chief''s meaningful smile.


    He could not describe the scene before him with words.


    Was this the purgatory of the human world or a beautiful scenery that many people had dreamed of?


    ...


    "Wu¡­ Chief Engineer, would it be alright for me to join your scientific research?"


    One of the scientists appeared a little shy.


    She was petite, and her skin was as fair as jade, while her eyes were as bright as ss.


    Just as Wu Mo was about to speak, another female scientist came up to him.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, you''ve always been my idol. I''ve been deeply in love with you since I was in university! "


    This female intern was full of youth and beauty. Her smile was like a blooming daffodil that was full of youthful vitality.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, I''m the chief researcher of one of the projects here. I currently have some free time, so I believe I can be the VP of engineering!"


    This scientist was mature, as well as charming, and her temperament wasparable to Xu Wanqing''s.


    Most importantly, she was more passionate than Xu Wanqing, and she was the true embodiment of someone cold on the outside but warm on the inside.


    Just as Wu Mo was about to respond, another female colleague interjected.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, although I''m not a researcher, I''m great at ounting. I can save you a lot of trouble.


    "You can leave the necessary to me. Although I''ve just be a full-time employee, I''m proactive and serious!


    "I''ll do my best toplete the tasks that you give me!"


    She was a clerk.


    Apart from them, there were seven or eight otherdies who came to see Wu Mo.


    There were two reasons for this: Firstly, they were Wu Mo''s fans, and secondly, they wanted to invest in Wu Mo''s scientific research.


    Wu Mo was delighted by their goodwill, but it was not his style to let nature take its course.


    Besides, the project did not need so many people, and there was no need to crowd theboratory.


    Wu Mo did not know what to do in the face of so many female colleagues.


    Xu Wanqing was dumbfounded. She had never encountered such a situation before.


    However, the awkward atmosphere was quickly diffused because the person in charge appeared. She was also ady in her 40s.


    "Hello, Chief Engineer Wu. My name is Wei Chunxiu. I was sent by the old chief. If you need any important resources in the future, please loop me in!"


    Wei Chunxiu was incredibly efficient. Before Wu Mo came, she had already taken care of all the trivial matters for him.


    "Alright, we''ve already assigned you aboratory and a new dormitory.


    "The girls here have low EQ, and they''re too direct. Please forgive them, Chief Engineer Wu. As you can see, there are indeed fewer men here."

 Chapter 435 Life First

    It was easy to understand why their EQ was low. The girls who worked in the special biology research institute were all capable without exception.


    In this era where scientific researchers were scarce, it was rare for emotionally intelligent women to dabble in scientific research.


    "Alright, there will be many things that I need to trouble you with in the future, Comrade Wu."


    Once Wu Mo understood the situation, he went to his dormitory to prepare for work.


    Although Wu Mo was gone, the discussion about him continued.


    "Hahaha, I didn''t expect Sister Fei to fail the moment she made her move!"


    Sister Fei was the chief researcher from earlier.


    "You''re mocking me? Didn''t you all fail too?"


    "Sigh, I didn''t expect Chief Engineer Wu to be so handsome. A man like him is so mature and capable!"


    "He''s too handsome, and he''s also a soldier who makes people feel safe. On top of that, he''s a world-renowned scientist, the chief judge of the Wu Prize, and the winner of the Medal of the Century!"


    "Sigh, I''m just too stupid. I didn''t even speak clearly. I can''tpare to my sisters."


    "Sob, sob, sob. Chief Engineer Wu ignored me!"


    The girls had all kinds of reactions.


    Wu Mo did not know about this because he was busy with his project.


    At present, there were only two people in theboratory¡ªone was Wu Mo, and the other was Xu Wanqing.


    Xu Wanqing was talented in the field of scientific research. However, now that Wu Mo had suddenly switched to the field of biology, she lost her edge a little and had to take on the role of an assistant.


    "We have toe up with a name for this project.


    "You can''t call it the Human Life Extension Potion.


    "The significance of this project is no less than the Imperial Dragon Device and the Stairway to Heaven Device. We have to give it a grand name."


    Wu Mo was quite experienced in naming, and he had named projects more than once.


    "The Human Life Extension Potion will be popr because it has the magical effect of prolonging life.


    "Since ancient times, longevity has been the ultimate pursuit of mankind, while the ancients called it immortality."


    "Perhaps we can start with the word, ''immortality''¡ª"


    "Long Life is a good name," Xu Wanqing suddenly interjected.


    Wu Mo frowned. Although it was an appropriate name, it did not sound good enough.


    He could not possibly call it the Ageless Medicine, right?


    It would sound awkward when people read it, and it was not aesthetically pleasing either.


    "Let''s call it Life First.


    "It''s a divine medicine that can extend life after all!"


    The meaning was profound, and it gave off a strong sense of history. He could also understand the use of the medicine as soon as he heard it.


    So, Wu Mo quickly decided on the name.


    "Alright, let''s get to work!"


    While he took out the materials and got ready to start studying, Wu Mo suddenly saw Xu Wanqing sitting down in a rather strange position.


    Well, it was not strange, but it was out of ce for her personality.


    "What''s wrong? Why are you sitting in the chair like a duck?"


    Xu Wanqing sighed. "It''s nothing. I just want to learn biology from you. I''m not used to just being an assistant."


    Wu Mo pondered for a moment.


    Xu Wanqing had taken the initiative to be an assistant to learn new things.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    If she was only allowed to work as an assistant, it would go against her original intention.


    "Of course, you can learn with me."


    Xu Wanqing nodded and smiled. Then, she stood up and began to study the basics of biological science.


    ...


    He was now a year older, but he did not care.


    So what if he was older? Once Life First was released, even if he aged further, his physical fitness would revert to the way it was, or he would age backward by 10 years.


    More importantly, this research could help close friends and rtives fight aging and prolong youth.


    The Life First Project was progressing in an orderly manner, but Wu Mo knew that it could not be done overnight.


    Besides, this was destined to be the focus of China''s research for a long time toe.


    Even though Wu Mo was powerful enough to create Life First in a short period of time, he would be caught in the problem that the leader had mentioned: With China''s current scientific technology, it could not handle Wu Mo''s advanced knowledge.


    Thus, Wu Mo decided to change his strategy.


    He wanted to be a leader and a decision-maker who would provide timely guidance when the project faced a blockage.


    This way, he could elerate the project''s progress, and the research force would be able to fully absorb all the knowledge.


    As he looked through the system''s information, Wu Mo discovered another magical feature of the potion: While it strengthened one''s physique, it could actually cure cancer.


    Although not all diseases could be cured, such as lung cancer, this additional effect still filled Wu Mo with interest.


    "The system did not borate on this function. Why can it cure cancer?" Wu Mo looked into the reason behind it.


    After more than 10 days of exploration, Wu Mo finally came to a conclusion.


    "The system has already mentioned that when using Life First, you need to enter the nourishment cabin quickly. The drug will reconstruct the user''s body during this period.


    "The hematopoietic system will be restored to the state of infancy. Countless multi-functional cells will emerge and repair aging organs. They''ll reconstruct the skin and produce factors that promote cell division."


    There was a factor in the cell that limited the number of times it could divide. It was called a proteinplex. However, cancer cells did not have this factor, so they could divide indefinitely.


    This factor would naturally be depleted over time, but the drug could restore the human body''s hematopoietic system, thereby replenishing this factor.


    With the hematopoietic system restored to its peak and the immune system soaring, even cancer could be easily eliminated.


    "Wonderful! The system might not have mentioned this function because its advantage isn''t as obvious as longevity and rejuvenation."


    "That''s why it wasn''t stated directly."


    "Three months have passed. Let''s get down to business. We''ll continue to study. We mustplete the project in the remaining months."


    These three months were considered the most intense time in his life. Apart from learning basic knowledge, he also had to pay attention to the prerequisite techniques in the system. The strain on his brain was almost at its highest. It was the same for Xu Wanqing.


    ...


    Time passed quickly, and three months flew in the blink of an eye.


    In the first month, Wu Mo hadpleted studying the basics, and he was no different from a PhD student.


    In the second month, he mastered the system''s advanced pharmaceutical technology.


    It was 10 years ahead of the world, so it would take 20 years for the world to catch up. However, Wu Mo was already at the advanced stage.


    In the third month, Wu Mo learned the reactivation theory of the hematopoietic system and conducted his first clinical trial.


    The clinical trial was not targeted at humans but different animals. They had one thing inmon, which was that they were all old.


    Wu Mo used the theory of activating the hematopoietic system andbined it with advanced pharmaceutical technology to develop an animal version of the hematopoietic system activation drug.


    When the drug was applied to animals, most of the animals regained their vitality, but the lifespan extension was not significant.


    Due to the recovery of the blood cirction system, their bodies were healthier, but their lifespans were only extended by two months.

 Chapter 436 Early Preparation

    Wu Mo hadpleted the summary of human lifespan extension.


    However, heter discovered that this theory only applied to Chinese people. In other words, the drugs made ording to these pre-existing technologies were only suitable for Chinese people.


    It waspletely unsuitable for Caucasians. If they were injected with Life First, they could only be healthier like those animals, but they could not resist cancer or increase their lifespan, let alone experience any rejuvenation.


    To be more specific, the more Chinese genes one had, the more suitable it was for the medicine.


    After learning theprehensive theory of human lifespan extension, Wu Mo had mastered the ability to create Life First.


    At this time, Wu Mo and Xu Wanqing had both finished their studies and were having a group meeting.


    Although it was called a group meeting, there were only two participants, the team leader, Wu Mo, and the deputy, Xu Wanqing.


    "I''ll n the future direction of our team first." Wu Mo looked at Xu Wanqing.


    "You''re in charge of building the nourishment cabin. With your military background, you should be fine."


    Xu Wanqing nodded. This small task was easy for her.


    Wu Mo continued to arrange his work. "As for me, I''ll focus on creating Life First and use it for the first time."


    What about long-term clinical trials?


    Wu Mo did not think they weer necessary because the manufacturing method originated from the military system. The technology in the system had basically been verified, so there was no need to go through the trouble.


    Xu Wanqing nodded as usual and did not express her opinion.


    After assigning all the tasks, Wu Mo began to ask theboratory for manufacturing requirements.


    Aboratory was different from a manufacturing factory. The former was used for experiments, while thetter was used for drug manufacturing.


    ...


    Although Wu Mo''s military rank was higher than Wei Chunxiu''s, she was the highest person in charge of the research institute.


    Wu Mo had tomunicate with her first before he could act.


    Wu Mo brought the relevant documents to Wei Chunxiu''s office.


    After knocking on the door, Wu Mo directly stated his needs.


    "Ms. Wu, I''ve alreadypleted the project preparations and officially entered the manufacturing phase. That''s why I''m here to apply for a dedicated manufacturingboratory.


    "This is the equipment I need for my pharmaceutical production. Please take a look and see if it''s suitable.


    "Alright, I''ll help you check it." Wei Chunxiu took the document.


    Ten minutester, Wei Chunxiu rxed her brows and said, "The manufacturing requirements are quite high, but the topboratories havepleted their respective projects and their staff can be transferred to you."


    Wu Mo heaved a sigh of relief.


    Life First was ahead of its time, so the manufacturing conditions were naturally harsh. Fortunately, it did not surpass this era and only required the world''s top standards.


    The special Institute of Biology was one of the top research institutes in China, so it naturally had top-notch equipment andboratories.


    "Then I''ll have to trouble you."


    "This is what I should do. But Chief Engineer Wu, I''m quite interested in your project. I don''t want to know the details, I just want to know the level of confidentiality."


    Wei Chunxiu had no idea since Wu Mo was separated from them in his daily work.


    Hearing this question, Wu Mol replied, "The confidentiality level is top secret."


    "But I can reveal the general content. It can bepared to the strengthening serum in foreign superhero movies. It will be made public soon, and you will know when the timees."


    This metaphor is correct.


    Currently, it was an emergency to create a life-extension potion.


    In the future, he might be able to create strengthening serums and even gene strengthening towers.


    Wu Mo did not care too much about confidentiality.


    Once Life First was put into use, it would be difficult to keep it a secret because the user would suddenly be younger. There were many smart people in China, so it was difficult to keep it a secret.


    Wei Chunxiu was shocked.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    It was Wu Mo''s first time in the biological field. His first project was ssified as top secret, which indirectly demonstrated his scientific research strength.


    Wei Chunxiu did not have such introspective skills.


    "This project is currently ssified as top secret. The highest level project I was responsible for was only ssified, and it was used to analyze ancient medicines. It is now on the market and is called the Heart Saving Pill. However, the confidentiality period has passed."


    Wu Mo gently nodded.


    Ancient medicine was quite charming, and the most famous one was a certain white medicine. Since the beginning of thest century, its form had been kept secret.


    "Comrade Wu, you''re really amazing. You can analyze ancient medicine and then modernize it.


    "What''s there to talk about? Chief Engineer Wu, your information is top secret. Mine is just ssified."


    The two of them chatted for a while. After about an hour, Wu Mo stood up and said goodbye to Wei Chunxiu.


    When he arrived at his personal office, Wu Mo first checked the equipment and made sure that there were no mistakes. Then, he immediately started manufacturing.


    Biological medicine was very different from military manufacturing.


    The former was more exquisite, but the advantage was that the manufacturing cycle was short. By mastering the theory and process, he could make the medicine in ten days.


    Military manufacturing took months or even years.


    Wu Mo changed into his protective suit and thought, ''The key to Life First lies in the longevity factor it contains.


    ''The longevity factores from thebination of branched-chain amino acids and Skchev ions. It also contains a deception factor.


    ''You can call it the Wu factor. I''m the first person to discover this factor in the world.


    ''The target organ of this factor is the human body''s hematopoietic system. By forging biological elements, the human body will be mistaken for being in the embryonic stage, thereby reactivating the hematopoietic system.


    ''After the hemopoetic system was restarted, arge number of telomerases were produced, and cell typing was guaranteed. ''


    Wu Mo was filled with emotions at this moment.


    ''Just as I guessed, human genes set death from the very beginning. From a gic point of view, it''s to speed up the poption''s regeneration.


    ''Therefore, aging is a disease, and death is an ident. Both can be cured and prevented.''


    Wu Mo took a deep breath and threw himself into the manufacturing process.


    The equipment in theboratory was fully operational. Some of the non-core speed was extracted and cultivated. In addition, there were other cofactors and biochemistry.


    Three days passed quickly.


    Wu Mo had already refined the many elements of Life First.


    Then, he focused on the extraction and production of longevity factors. Branched chain acids were extracted at an astonishing speed, followed by the improved Skchev ions.


    In theboratory, Wu Mo ced a bottle of blue medicine into the centrifugal machine.


    After spinning for 15 minutes, the longevity factor was sessfully refined!


    Five days passed quickly, and during this period of time, Wu Mo had sessfully mixed other factors as well as created a tube of pure white potion. This was the legendary Life First!


    In the history of China and even in the history of mankind, the first life-prolonging medicine was born. It was not a health supplement or a health supplement, but a medicine.


    Wu Mo picked up the potion and examined it under the light.


    ''Although the color is not good, it''s the longevity drug that humans have dreamed of. It might be able to extend one''s lifespan by thirty years. That''s enough.


    ''Next is the nourishment cabin. After injecting the medicine, one must quickly enter the life-support cabin and sleep for more than a month."


    "When you wake up, your life extension will be sessful."


    Therefore, the nourishment cabin was extremely important. The difficulty of manufacturing it was not small. It could only bepleted by adding an artificial intelligence control system.


    Wu Mo put the medicine into the freezer and left theboratory. He passed through many checkpoints and arrived at Xu Wanqing''s ce.


    Fu Hongxi was neatly dressed and assembling a giant cylinder, which was a part of the nourishment cabin.


    ording to Wu Mo''s theory, the podbined with a deceiving factor, causing the human body to mistakenly believe that it was in the embryonic stage and the hematopoietic system to restart.

 Chapter 437 The First Drug Tester

    Wu Mo quickly determined that the production of the nourishment cabin was 90%plete.


    "Wanqing, when will it be done?"


    Xu Wanqing put down her work and immediately reported to Wu Mo, "It''ll take about a day, Chief Engineer Wu."


    "Alright, we''ll check it several times once it''s done. I''ll be in charge of creating the nutrients and finding the drug user. We need to proceed with the human trials soon."


    Xu Wanqing nodded slightly and continued to focus on making the nourishment cabin.


    Seeing this, Wu Mo did not say anything else and turned around to focus on the next stage of the project.


    "The nutrients are quite easy to prepare. The difficulty is minimal.


    "However, determining the first patient is a difficult decision.


    "I have absolute confidence in the safety of the drug, but the old chief is busy with work, and he may not be able to spare a whole month to test the drug. We have to find someone who can keep the secret and understands the stakes."


    Life First could not be easily essible in the early stages.


    Therefore, the person who consumed the medicine had to keep it a secret, and it was best to get someone in the system.


    At the same time, the person had to be of great significance so that there was a strategic effect. Only then would one be qualified to use Life First.


    Wu Mo did not care whether Life First would be mass-produced in theter stages or not.


    "My parents are on the list, but it wouldn''t be appropriate for them to be the first users.


    "Let me think. I don''t know if there''s anyone suitable among the people I know."


    Wu Mo started to ponder and search for a suitable candidate from hiswork.


    They had to meet the criteria: Be old and weak, have a good rtionship with Wu Mo, and be able to agree without hesitation.


    Wu Mo quickly found a suitable candidate.


    "I think Phantom Wolf is absolutely suitable!"


    Phantom Wolf''s real name was unknown. Due to confidentiality rules, he was only given the code name, Phantom Wolf.


    He was once one of China''s ace fighter pilots.


    He even boarded the space station and underwent half a year of adaptability training.


    However, this highly regarded individual ended up losing his left arm in an ident.


    After Wu Mo finished researching his exoskeleton armor, he helped the experts in the field of neurology to develop robotic prosthetics.


    Phantom Wolf was the first person to try on a mechanical arm.


    With Wu Mo''s help, Phantom Wolf was able to live aplete life again.


    Hence, Wu Mo and Phantom Wolf''s friendship had been established. Although they had little contact, their friendship remained.


    One could say that Wu Mo had saved Phantom Wolf''s career and made him more sessful. He was also about to achieve a new military rank.


    With that said, his glorious career was close to an end.


    Phantom Wolf was almost 50 years old. He had even retired from the fierce frontline battles and be a spacemander in the rear.


    To Phantom Wolf, this was like torture. It was the same as preventing an eagle from flying high in the blue sky but keeping it in the nest tomand other birds to learn hunting techniques.


    However, Phantom Wolf could not give up his attachment to the army, so he spent every day in this torment.


    "He''ll definitely agree.


    "He''s the world''s number one mech warrior. He''ll definitely be able to ept my biological modification n.


    "Besides, his unique constitution will allow Life First to unleash its full potential."


    The miraculous potion, Life First, was exactly what Phantom Wolf needed. He now yearned to return to his youth and once again devote himself to the front line.


    These had just been fantasies, but Life First could finally fulfill Phantom Wolf''s dreams.


    "Let''s call Phantom Wolf now!"


    Wu Mo went to his dedicated office and dialed the space station training camp through thendline.


    The person who answered the call was a logistics soldier. After he gave his name and job number, the call was quickly transferred to Phantom Wolf.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Hey, isn''t this old Wu? Why are you calling me?"


    Phantom Wolf was as forthright as he was before. He got straight to the point before Wu Mo could open his mouth.


    "It''s about something good for sure, but I have to invite you to my ce."


    "Oh? What is it? Just tell me!"


    "You''re going regain the youth you had in your 30s, so are you willing toe over?"


    As soon as he said this, Phantom Wolf''s interest was piqued. Which man did not miss his 30s?


    Phantom Wolf agreed without hesitation.


    "I''m impatient, so you''d better tell me what you''re going to do first. Don''t keep me in suspense. Otherwise, I won''t do it."


    Wu Mo pondered for a moment and finally decided to tell him the truth about the experiment.


    "I''m inviting you to try a magical medicine."


    "I don''t have that kind of need!" Phantom Wolf revealed his confusion.


    When he heard the word "medicine" and thought of his age, he could not help but think of another possibility.


    "It''s not that kind of medicine. I''ve been focusing on cross-field biological research, and I''ve invented a medicine that can increase one''s lifespan. Apart from that, it also has a certain youthfulness effect. It''s very suitable for you at the moment since you''re about to leave the battlefield because of your age."


    After he gained an understanding of the n, Phantom Wolf agreed almost immediately.


    "Really?"


    "When have I ever lied to you? Furthermore, with my scientific research ability, it shouldn''t be a problem for me to develop a longevity medicine."


    Wu Mo had always been blunt with his old friends.


    "You''re the first person I thought of. I know you''re about to retire, and you''re the heart of the orbital airborne team. Just like your code name, you trained them like wolf cubs. There has never been a leader who has voluntarily left his pack, soe and ept this transformation. I promise to return you to your peak condition."


    Wu Mo''s words deeply moved Phantom Wolf.


    That''s right, an alpha wolf never voluntarily left his pack!


    Moreover, Phantom Wolf had served in the army for decades, and he had gotten used to being on standby.


    He was truly reluctant to retire.


    With that, Phantom Wolf sounded even more determined.


    "Okay, I''ll be right there. I''ll fill in the application now."


    Wu Mo stopped Phantom Wolf.


    "You don''t have to write an application. I''ll report directly to the Air Force general. It''ll be faster this way."


    "I''ll have to trouble you then. Once I return to my 30-year-old state, we''ve got to have a good celebration."


    "Alright, you should get ready first!"


    After the call ended, Wu Mo immediately reported the matter to the general of the Air Force.


    After all, he was Phantom Wolf''s direct superior, and the old chief could not move away from his post.


    His call was quickly connected to the Air Force general.


    "Little Wu, what''s the matter?" The general asked.


    "General, here''s the thing. I''ve alreadypleted an innovative project. It''s rted to a magical lifespan increasing drug. I believe the old chief has already mentioned this project to you?"


    "Yes, he''s mentioned it to me. Have you reallypleted it?"


    The Air Force general''s tone was filled with surprise.


    After all, this drug could directly extend the lifespan of middle-aged and elderly people.


    The Air Force leaders had been paying attention to this project, but they did not expect Wu Mo toplete it so quickly.


    "General, I need someone to be the first tester, and I''ve already chosen Phantom Wolf. Please allow him to return to the ground."


    "I would also like to request the execution of an airbornending to make things quicker."

 Chapter 438 Medicine Testing Begins

    What he meant by airborne was to let Phantom Wolf[1] directly parachute into the Institute of Special Biology.


    After he heard Wu Mo''s request, the Air Force general agreed without hesitation.


    "Little Wu, I guarantee that he''ll be right in front of you before tonight."


    After he hung up, Wu Mo could not help but sigh at the Air Force general''s efficiency. The original n was to wait three days, but now that the leader had given the order, they could start testing the medicine tomorrow.


    Wu Mo and Phantom Wolfpleted the docking process because he had descended from space.


    Wu Mo also asked the cafeteria to prepare a table of delicious food in advance. Then, he went to the square outside the Institute of Special Biology to wait with Xu Wanqing.


    "What are we doing?" Xu Wanqing asked curiously.


    "Waiting for the heroic man to descend from the sky."


    Xu Wanqing was a little confused because she did not understand the meaning behind Wu Mo''s words.


    "You''ll understand in time."


    "This is my first time observing the orbital airborne troops up close."


    Wu Mo raised his hand to look at his watch. It was time to meet Phantom Wolf.


    "Phantom Wolf ising!"


    The two of them looked up at the sky in unison.


    A ck dot appeared in the sky, and it was descending rapidly.


    When it reached a predetermined height, blue mes suddenly spurted out from the bottom of the ck dot.


    Due to the thrust, the airborne capsule''s speed gradually slowed down.


    This spectacr scene attracted many researchers who had just gotten off work. Everyone gathered around the safety line to watch.


    About a minuteter, the airborne capsule reached the designated altitude, and a white, wless parachute unfolded gracefully.


    The speed of the airborne capsule decreased, and after a long five-minute descent, it was finally 20 meters away from the ground.


    Bang!


    The hatch suddenly opened, and many of the researchers eximed.


    Phantom Wolf was wearing high-tech kic power armor. Like a hero in a movie, he jumped down and sessfullynded on the ground.


    He raised a sk and took a big sip. He then revealed a satisfied smile and said, "I have to say, I looked really handsome just now, like Iron Man. If I''m not wrong, a little girl was in awe earlier!"


    Phantom Wolfughed heartily. Wu Mo picked up his sk and filled it with fine wine.


    "Old Wu, you and I arerades, as well as loyal friends, but there''s anotheryer to our rtionship. You''re the source of my talent," Phantom Wolf said emotionally.


    "During that operation, I was crippled. It was you who used the Dragon Soul equipment to allow me to regain my mobility and continue to be active on the battlefield.


    "So much time has passed, and just as I''m about to retire, you suddenly tell me that you''ve developed a longevity potion.


    "I really don''t know how to describe you. You''re my savior!"


    Phantom Wolf raised his sk excitedly. Wu Mo understood what he meant and also raised a wine ss.


    The two of them toasted and drank.


    In the banquet that followed, they exchanged brief words, but the wine added to their excitement.


    ...


    Wu Mo had Phantom Wolf fast for a day and only ingest some nutrients in fluid form before administering the medication.


    At night, they began the process of injecting the drug in theboratory.


    Phantom Wolf was lying in the nourishment cabin, which was surrounded by light green life-support fluid.


    These fluids were filled with nourishment and made ording to the system''s information. They could prevent various physical diseases and defects caused by a month of fasting.


    "Phantom Wolf, you need to be fully prepared. Once the medicine takes effect, you''ll fall into a month-long sleep.


    "When you wake up again, your body will bepletely new. You''ll be thirty or thirty-five years old again.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Time to wee a new life!"


    The effects of the Life First potion varied from person to person, and itpletely depended on the individual.


    Other than the crucial factor of having Chinese genes, another deciding factor was the strength of one''s physique.


    In other words, the stronger the body, the more obvious the effects of Life First.


    Phantom Wolf''s physical condition was excellent. Even though he was over 50 years old, he was still one of the best in the country.


    Phantom Wolf nodded slightly. Since he was wearing a life-support device, he was temporarily unable to speak.


    Everything was ready, so Wu Mo nodded at Xu Wanqing.


    With that, the injection of Life First was officially initiated!


    The hatch gradually closed, and the cabin was filled with more nourishment fluids. The mechanical arm responsible for injecting Life First was on standby.


    Wu Mo and Xu Wanqing put on protective clothing as well as special masks.


    "Wanqing, ce Life First in the nourishment cabin!"


    A bottle of white potion was pulled out of the freezer, and it looked strange under the light.


    However, Wu Mo and Xu Wanqing knew very well that it was the "hope" that many people on the verge of death yearned for.


    This potion could extend one''s lifespan by 30 years, so if it was auctioned, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it would fetch a price of 10 billion.


    The artificial intelligence program in theboratory broadcast the information.


    [Reporting to the chief engineer. Phantom Wolf has entered a dormant state, and he may be injected with Life First at any time!]


    Wu Mo ced Life First into the machine and transferred it to the mechanical arm.


    Life First was then injected into Phantom Wolf''s artery!


    The mechanical arm quickly pierced his skin, and the white drug flowed into his artery. In just a few seconds, the injection was done.


    Wu Mo immediately turned on the camera to record the changes in the next 30 days.


    "Wanqing, from now on, you and I will take turns being on duty. I''ll be in charge at night, and you''ll be in charge during the day.


    "If Phantom Wolf''s vital signs appear abnormal, we must immediately stop the experiment."


    "Alright, everything will proceed ording to your arrangements."


    Xu Wanqing nodded in agreement.


    In the span of working together, Xu Wanqing''s respect for Wu Mo had risen to the highest level.


    She followed Wu Mo''s arrangements without reservation and rarely asked for any justification.


    As night had fallen, Xu Wanqing left to get some rest first. Wu Mo sat near the nourishment cabin with a philosophy book while he paid attention to Phantom Wolf''s physical condition.


    They had skipped the clinical trial stage for Life First, and it was not 100% suitable for everyone. Hence, there was still a chance that various small problems would ur.


    When that happened, the person monitoring needed to intervene and treat or terminate the experimental procedure.


    If the process was terminated, there would be no harm to the recipient. The drug would just not be able to fully exert its effect.


    A person could use this drug up to three times. The first time, it could extend one''s life by up to 30 years. The second time, it could extend one''s life by up to 10 years. The third time, it could only add another year.


    Life First reactivated the human body''s hematopoietic system, and the human body itself had its limits.


    The potion only dyed aging by enhancing one''s potential. It could not increase a person''s lifespan out of thin air.


    "The biotechnology field is indeed expensive, especially when ites to the study of hereditary characteristics.


    "Life First has been customized. The next step will depend on the leaders'' decision."


    The leaders knew the needs of China better than Wu Mo.


    He wasmitted to continuously manufacturing equipment for China, but due to time constraints, he could not go further in depth. The leaders knew the country like the back of their hands, so Wu Mo needed their advice.


    [1] You Lang has been changed to Phantom Wolf

 Chapter 439 Everything Went Smoothly

    "However, there''s a high chance that they''ll still focus on biological enhancement.


    "The age of space navigation will eventually arrive, but the human body is still not used to the space environment.


    "Thus, biological enhancement is imperative.


    "A Gene Strengthening Tower is a good example."


    Wu Mo had recently achieved great things in life science research.


    Now, eliminating those foreign races that were once difficult to face was no longer impossible for him.


    The Gene Strengthening Tower was a brand new concept that Wu Mo hade up with.


    This prototype was taken from the gic mutation towers in the gaming world. However, the current one would not be used to create orcs, but to create superhumans.


    Once their senses reached the peak, their reaction speed would surpass human limits. They would also reach peak speed, and their strength would also be unmatched.


    Compared to the gene mutation towers in games, this Gene Strengthening Tower had both an advantage and disadvantage.


    In terms of its advantage, it could increase a soldier''sbat effectiveness without harming him.


    As for its weakness, the enhancement''s duration was limited; it would onlyst for 10 days.


    Nheless, it was more than enough for battle because it could transform ordinary soldiers into top-notch Special Forces soldiers.


    On a strategic level, the benefits were extremely shocking!


    Wu Mo was also thinking about having it in a mobile device, like the Bridge Device[1] with installed mechanics. That way, soldiers could quickly mobilize it on the battlefield and strengthen themselves at any time.


    However, Wu Mo also realized something. "Let''s not think about this first. This equipment might not be suitable for a battlefield. When the timees, we''ll need to seek the opinions of our leaders."


    The rate of Wu Mo''s knowledge umtion in strategy and politics was rtively slow. It was roughly between the level of a major and major general.


    When it came to strategic vision, he was not as far-sighted as the old chief and the others.


    Therefore, Wu Mo decided to focus more on his own cultivation.


    While Wu Mo was focused on reading, Phantom Wolf''s body changed.


    "An hour has passed.


    "Subject''s condition is good, and progress is smooth."


    Phantom Wolf''s entire body was red, and his heart was beating fast. They were side effects of Life First.


    The longevity factor contained in the potion had begun to deceive Phantom Wolf''s immune system. This was the prelude to the reactivation of his hematopoietic system.


    "His heart is beating so fast."


    Just as the previous research data stated, the faster the heartbeat, the more significant the effect of the drug.


    Phantom Wolf''s heartbeat was so intense that it was obvious the potion had a deep impact on him. It was likely that he was a perfect candidate for the drug.


    So-called perfect candidates referred to those who werepletelypatible with Life First.


    Their special constitution could maximize the effects of Life First. Not only could it extend their lifespan by 30 years, but it could also make them feel young and energetic.


    "This guy''s physique is extremely strong!" Wu Mo sighed.


    The process of "deception" would take three days toplete, and the next twenty days would be the process of Phantom Wolf''s phoenix rebirth.


    "Now, we just have to wait patiently."


    After he said that, Wu Mo started to operate the system. He started the cooling program and injected adrenaline as well as other drugs.


    This operation would help maintain Phantom Wolf''s health at all times and prevent any idents.


    Once he ensured Phantom Wolf''s safety, Wu Mo sat back down. Then, he picked up the Chinese and foreign philosophy books and read them carefully.


    Wu Mo was trying to learn more about ethics and philosophy in his free time.


    He understood that he would inevitably encounter resistance when heunched a bigger project in the future.


    At that time, high-intensity debates would be unavoidable.


    As the saying goes, if you know yourself and know your enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Wu Mo''s goal was to understand ethics, as well as philosophy, and find the ws in it so that he could make a breakthrough.


    Wu Mo did notpletely agree with the philosophy of ethics, but he was more supportive of the gic theory of aging.


    Even though there were people who disagreed with this opinion, he believed that in a few decades, the same people would probably use Life First as well.


    Thus, Wu Mo spent the long night studying.


    At 8.00 am, Xu Wanqing arrived to take over as promised.


    The two of them quickly exchanged work-rted documents, and Wu Mo returned to the dormitory to rest after a meal.


    He still had to take over the night shiftter.


    They had to personally handle this task; they could not hand it over to others.


    Wu Mo had just sat down when the internalmunicator in his hand suddenly vibrated.


    He checked it carefully and realized that it was a call from his old chief.


    After he picked up the call, the old chief immediately exined the purpose of his call.


    "Comrade Wu, how''s the progress of the Life First Project? I heard that you''ve already chosen Phantom Wolf as the first candidate for medical treatment. How is he? When will it be put into practical use?"


    The old chief paid special attention to this project. The reason was simple: He urgently needed Life First too.


    From Wu Mo''s conversation with the old chief, he learned that the chief had joined the army at the age of 16 and experienced hundreds of battles.


    After decades, he had gotten used to being a soldier and living in the army, so he was very reluctant about retiring.


    When he heard about the Life First Project, he gave his full support.


    Therefore, Wu Mo gave the old chief a progress report.


    "The process of making the medicine went smoothly.


    "His hematopoietic system has been reactivated, and the characteristics of his youthful self are beginning to show.


    "It won''t be long before his body recovers to the state of a 30-year-old man.


    "As for you, Old Chief, you''ll definitely be able to recover to your 50-year-old self after you use Life First."


    The old chief was ecstatic when he heard this.


    To him, Wu Mo''s Life First could not only extend his lifespan by a few decades, but it also had other more important uses.


    For example, after treatment, his body could return to its youthful state.


    When that happened, he could dy his retirement for decades, which would be a great benefit to the entire country.


    "Alright, I''ll be looking forward to your good news," the old chief said expectantly. Once this project is sessful, the entire country will be shocked!"


    His voice was filled with joy and anticipation.


    The two of them discussed some other matters before they ended the call half an hourter.


    In the next 28 days, everything went smoothly. Wu Mo and Xu Wanqing were not disturbed at all.


    Meanwhile, Phantom Wolf''s body underwent the following changes: Following the first five days, the redness on his skin gradually subsided, his metabolism elerated, and many of his original scars healed quickly.


    Thick ck hair was growing out of the part of his head that had been showing signs of hair loss.


    Wu Mo had identally discovered a great method to treat hair loss!


    On top of that, his skin, which was once loose and dark, had now be firm, smooth, and shiny.


    The more obvious change was the strength of his muscles. His muscles gradually became stronger and stronger, and his explosive power was even more shocking.


    The vitality of his internal organs, in particr, was also constantly recovering.


    Surprisingly, the energy-filled blood had raised Phantom Wolf''s heart and lung function to the level of a world-ss athlete.


    At the same time, some hidden changes in his body were also taking ce.

 Chapter 440 Pretty Boy "Phantom Wolf"

    The hidden injuries left behind by Phantom Wolf''s years of training and battle had been healed. This was all thanks to the one month of hibernation. His immune system and recovery system had been stimted to the extreme, and the hidden injuries that were originally difficult to repair had been healed.


    Life First''s function was far more than just increasing lifespan!


    In addition, it even had a cosmetic effect.


    In this one month, a middle-aged man had actually recovered to his prime through technological means!


    At this moment, Phantom Wolf had returned to his 30-year-old self!


    Wu Mo and Xu Wanqing arrived at theboratory together. Today was the day of Phantom Wolf''s awakening!


    "Comrade Phantom Wolf has been hibernating for a month. He''ll wake up in half an hour," Xu Wanqing reminded. "When the timees, we''ll have to speed up the measurement of his physical data."


    Wu Mo agreed, and Xu Wanqing took out a set of instruments for measuring physical data.


    Then, Wu Mo began to operate the machine.


    The artificial intelligence system of the nourishment cabin began to check if the conditions for awakening were met.


    Soon, the artificial intelligence system gave feedback.


    [There are still 20 minutes until the subject wakes up!


    [Would you like to wake him up in advance?]


    "We''ll keep waiting. He''ll wake up naturally in 20 minutes," Wu Mo said.


    The artificial intelligence system fell silent and began to prepare for the awakening.


    Time passed quickly. Twenty minutester, the awakening sequence was officially activated! The young Phantom Wolf was about to see the light of day again!


    [Twenty minutes have passed. Awaken Quiet Wolf ording to the predetermined procedure. Please prepare for the countdown!]


    Wu Mo quickly walked to the nourishment cabin. Phantom Wolf''s appearance had undergone a drastic change.


    Before using the medicine, Phantom Wolf was a rough man, and whether it was his mental personality or his appearance, he had a strong sense of boorish aura.


    But now, with the modification of Life First, Phantom Wolf''s skin was no longer rough. Instead, it had be extremely smooth, far from his identity as a special forces soldier.


    "With such fair skin, he looks like an actor."


    Wu Mo sighed. "Phantom Wolf is much more handsome than before. He can definitely charm many young girls when he goes out."


    However, Wu Mo quickly stoppedmenting on Phantom Wolf''s appearance because it was time for him to wake up!


    The alpha wolf, who had been sleeping for a whole month, finally woke up!


    The nourishment cabin emitted a warning signal, and the hatch gradually opened. The maintenance fluid was slowly drawn out, and a visually-impactful figure was revealed.


    Although he did not have the explosive muscles of the Hulk, he was not much different from Captain America.


    Then, rapid breathing could be heard!


    This was a sign that Phantom Wolf had entered the awakening stage.


    Phantom Wolf had been lying in the middle of the machine like a corpse, but now, he was gradually emitting the aura of life.


    He quickly moved his limbs and flicked his fingers a few times. Then, Phantom Wolf opened his eyes!


    He straightened his back and sat in the nourishment cabin.


    "Old Wu, I had a very strange dream."


    You Lang said, "I dreamed that I returned to my fetal state. My body has been reconstructed, and now I feel full of strength. Hurry and install a robotic prosthetic for me. I want to experiment with it."


    Xu Wanqing, who was beside him, immediately brought over the mechanical prosthetic limbs that Phantom Wolf needed.


    Phantom Wolf then put it on skillfully.


    Of course, although Life First could heal wounds, it could not achieve the magical effect of limb regeneration for the time being.


    That required a more advanced and profound life science as the foundation.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Where is my exoskeleton armor? Is there abat training room here? I''ve been depressed for a whole month. I want to release all my desire to fight! I feel like I''ve returned to my 30-year-old self," Phantom Wolf said passionately."


    Wu Mo smiled and nodded before he said, "You''re still as impatient as ever. The Dragon Soul Armor is in the warehouse.


    "The test field is ready for you. Now''s the best time to demonstrate your strength!"


    As Phantom Wolf''s loyalpanion, Wu Mo naturally knew what he was thinking.


    The two of them quickly arrived at a nearby warehouse. Phantom Wolf wore the new Dragon Soul Armor at an astonishing speed, and itwas quickly activated.


    "Let''s do this, Old Wu! I''m entering the test field now!" Phantom Wolf said anxiously.


    "Let''s do this."


    After he said this, Wu Mo brought Phantom Wolf forward.


    They walked through the Institute of Special Biology and attracted the attention of many researchers.


    "That person is too handsome. He''s tall and strong, so he gives off a strong sense of security. But why have I never seen him before?" afemale researcher asked curiously.


    "Who is he? Is it that person who fell from the sky a month ago? They look quite alike," another researcher guessed.


    "I don''t think so. This person is much more handsome than that one. I think he looks more like Chief Engineer Wu''s younger brother."


    "Is that so?"


    Phantom Wolf and Wu Mo heard everything clearly.


    Phantom Wolf''s face twitched.


    In terms of age, he was almost 10 years older than Wu Mo. If they were really brothers, Phantom Wolf would be the elder brother.


    However, the effects of Life First were simply too good. It made him look even younger than Wu Mo.


    "Phantom Wolf, don''t lose your temper. If I be your elder brother, you''re not going to lose out on anything," Wu Mo joked.


    "Hmph, stop your nonsense!" Phantom Wolf retorted.


    The two of them quickly arrived at the futuristic test field, and Phantom Wolf jumped in impatiently.


    There were not many special facilities in theboratory except some ordinary training equipment. It did not even have any firearms.


    However, Phantom Wolf was still going to disy his full strength.


    Just a month ago, he had retreated behind the scenes. Now, he was able to stand at the forefront of the front line again.


    The current Phantom Wolf was extraordinary when coupled with an advanced exoskeleton power armor.


    He could easily fly 10 meters in the air with a single leap, and he could bend steel bars with little force.


    The speed of his running was evenparable to that of a motorcycle.


    Phantom Wolf was sweating profusely in the test field, and he attracted a lot of attention.


    This was because the test site was not far from the Institute of Special Biology''s entrance.


    "Is this that middle-aged officer from before?" a female researcher asked in confusion.


    "That''s impossible. He looks so young. Could he be the younger brother of that middle-aged officer?" another researcher spected.


    "I don''t think so. If there are new people joining or visiting, the head would have informed us in advance. She would never make the mistake of forgetting."


    "So, the only exnation is, this person is indeed that middle-aged officer. After all, they even have the same power armor, and Chief Engineer Wu was apanying them."


    "He''s so handsome and mature!"


    The female researchers discussed Phantom Wolf''s true identity. In the end, everyone came to a consensus: The person on the test field was the officer who hadnded earlier.


    "How did he suddenly be so young?"


    "Yeah, I''m curious too. Did they create some kind of rejuvenation medicine?"

 Chapter 441 Becoming The Second User Of Life First

    As soon as she finished speaking, the atmosphere became tense.


    It was not difficult to notice this. Wu Mo did not deliberately hide it in the early stages and revealed some information at the right time because of this too.


    In theter stages, everyone could specte about the existence of an elixir of immortality.


    "That''s indeed possible. I remember the head once warned me not to find out what project Chief Engineer Wu is working on. I was wondering about the specific content before, but now I understand."


    "Although it sounds like science fiction, it''s most likely an elixir of immortality."


    "I might be suspicious of others, but if we''re talking about Chief Engineer Wu, then there''s absolutely no doubt."


    Everyone was shocked.


    The elixir of immortality was too attractive to the female scientists!


    Even though they were shocked, they did not take the initiative to ask questions because there were rules. They could only watch as Wu Mo and Phantom Wolf returned to theboratory.


    Phantom Wolfter returned to his dorm to rest. He used the excuse that he was too tired.


    Wu Mo quickly went to the office and got ready to inform the old chief and the Air Force general of the news.


    The first person he looked for was naturally the old chief.


    His call went through almost immediately.


    "Little Wu, I''ve been anxiously waiting for your call. Hurry up and report on Comrade Phantom Wolf."


    Wu Mo immediately reported Phantom Wolf''s situation.


    "Chief, we can start the next phase of the test, therge-scale human adaptability experiment."


    Even though he was confident in the drug produced by the system, he still had to go through the necessary procedures to appease the others.


    Then, Wu Mo exined the situation after Phantom Wolf used the drug.


    "Comrade Phantom Wolf is in great condition," he reported.


    "After various examinations, his body has recovered to when he was 30 years old. He has sessfully be 20 years younger, and his lifespan has extended by 30 years.


    "In addition, this drug is more suitable for people with obvious Chinese features. However, the degree of transformation will depend on the physique," he continued.


    "If you use this medicine, you might be able to raise your body''s functions to Phantom Wolf''s level. In other words, you might regain the vitality of a 60-year-old and increase your lifespan by 30 years," Wu Mo said confidently.


    The old chief heaved a sigh of relief. The heavy boulder in his heart had finally been lifted.


    Earlier on, he had been worried about whether Life First could be sessfully used.


    Now, these doubts had disappeared without a trace.


    "In that case, we should enter the mass production phase as soon as possible and discuss the scope of the first batch of users."


    The old chief raised the issue because the manufacturing cost of Life First was extremely high.


    The cost of each drug was as high as nine million yuan due to theplexity of the raw materials and the inability to use the assembly line with artificial intelligence.


    The manufacturing process required graduate level researchers to personally handle it.


    Aside from the nine-million-yuan cost, the researchers'' time was extremely precious.


    On top of the drug''s confidentiality requirements, it could only be manufactured by military units in secret ces deep in the mountains.


    Wu Mo began to express his opinion, "Chief, I think this drug should be given to those frontlinebatants who are about to retire first. Our oldrades like Phantom Wolf who have greatbat strength and strategic value can be given priority."


    The old chief nodded in agreement.


    "In addition, researchers in technical positions, namely scientists, such as Dr. Chen and certain academicians who have retired or are about to retire, can also use Life First."


    This drug had been made for these two types of people from the day it was invented.


    "I don''t really rmend that others use it," Wu Mo said solemnly.


    The old chief smiled in satisfaction and continued, "Indeed, some people will not be able to use Life First."<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    As for who it was, Wu Mo and the old chief had a tacit understanding, so there was no need to say it out loud.


    "Regarding the universal vine, we''re still quite far away from our goal. I can only provideboratory manufacturing at the moment, and it can''t enter the assembly line for production. Perhaps in the future, the seniors of the Academy of Sciences would be able to figure out the assembly line for manufacturing."


    Wu Mo looked forward to it.


    "Imagine, in the near future, the era of universal inoctions wille."


    There was a gleam in Wu Mo''s eyes.


    "When that happens, this information can no longer be kept a secret. People all over the world will be proud of having Chinese blood," he said emotionally.


    The path to immortality had been pursued by countless people all over the world.


    For the young, it might not prove to be much.


    However, for the rich and old, they would not hesitate even if they had to spend billions or even tens of billions to buy this drug.


    After some discussion, the old chief finally made a decision.


    "Even those we prioritize are ranked.


    "For example, I''ll make you the first user, followed by your family," he said.


    "Thank you for thinking about me, Old Chief!" Wu Mo said gratefully.


    There was no need for him to refuse such an offer.


    "You should have this opportunity. You can administer Life First in the Institute of Special Biology," the old chief said.


    "Yes, Sir!"


    After he hung up, Wu Mo immediately returned to theboratory.


    Xu Wanqing also arrived at theboratory, and the two of them worked together to create Life First.


    During the process, Xu Wanqing curiously asked, "Chief Engineer Wu, are the others and the old chief the next users?"


    "No, the old chief asked me to use it first," Wu Mo replied.


    Xu Wanqing responded softly and continued to focus on the production of Life First.


    Wu Mo contemted for a moment and told her the range of other users.


    "I''m not the only one. You''re also on the list. As the deputy chief engineer of this project, you should be one of the first to use it. Otherwise, wouldn''t it be against the heavens?"


    Xu Wanqing smiled and nodded. She then lowered her head and continued to work.


    Wu Mo was used to her expression.


    Xu Wanqing had a calm personality, and she was not easily angered or agitated.


    She often just smiled and frowned to express her emotions.


    This was also one of the reasons why Wu Mo felt that they were only suited to work together: She was incredibly calm.


    Thanks to his previous experience and intellect, the production speed of this potion was very fast.


    Three dayster, the new Life First was finallypleted.


    Wu Mo was also ready for the inoctions.


    Before the test began, Wu Mo took off his clothes and changed the life-support equipment and oxygen delivery device.


    Xu Wanqing sat at the side and made preparations for him.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, we''ve already obtained the results of your gic sequence measurement. As a pure Chinese, coupled with your outstanding physique, the effects of Life First will be maximized on you," Xu Wanqing told him.


    Wu Mo nodded to express his understanding.

 Chapter 442 Some Ways To Deal With Outsiders

    "Then let''s start the injection procedure quickly!"


    Xu Wanqing made an "okay" gesture.


    Then, Wu Mo closed his eyes andy down in the light green nutrient solution.


    The temperature of the liquid was slightly higher than his body temperature, and he feltfortable.


    In the nourishment cabin, Wu Mo''s heartbeat quickened slightly due to his nerves.


    The artificial intelligence then prompted the mechanical arm, which held Life First and injected it into Wu Mo''s main artery.


    "A warm current is flowing into my body from my main artery and spreading throughout my body through my heart. This feeling is toofortable. I''ve never experienced such peace before."


    After Wu Mo finished speaking, he fell into a deep sleep.


    Xu Wanqing noticed that Wu Mo had entered a dormant state, but his consciousness was still active.


    Wu Mo opened his eyes again and found himself in a dark red environment.


    "What''s this?"


    Wu Mo was puzzled. "Could this be the infant stage that Phantom Wolf mentioned? No, he described it differently."


    However, Wu Mo still could not confirm where he was.


    In the end, he gave up thinking about it.


    "System?!" Wu Mo shouted.


    [The system is on standby!]


    Wu Mo was pleasantly surprised.


    Although his body was in hibernation, he could still summon the system.


    "Mission progress report."


    [The product, Human Life Potion, has been developed and officially delivered!]


    "Check remaining points."


    [You currently have 300,000 points left!]


    Wu Mo was silent for a moment. He felt that he could still aplish many things with the remaining points.


    "Since there''s nothing to do, let''s take this opportunity to browse the system''s store."


    Wu Mo opened the system store.


    He began to systematically check the products in the mall and mainly focus on the aerospace as well as biotechnology fields.


    During this period of time, Wu Mo studied these technological fragments and gained a deeper understanding of the future development trend.


    Just like he was an ancient person observing a modern army, he was greatly inspired even though he did not understand the principles.


    However, Wu Mo now had a clear understanding of the direction of his next project.


    "Right now, our logistics system is operating speedily, and the basic facilities have been built. I just don''t know how much the US has umted over the past few years."


    Wu Mo had to admit that the US was quite capable in scientific research.


    However,pared to Wu Mo''s military system, this was nothing.


    Even so, Wu Mo still maintained his vignce at all times, because they were still ferocious birds.


    "But no matter how they n, they can''t surpass me," Wu Mo said confidently.


    "There are still 29 days until he wakes up."


    He continued to focus on the system store and discovered many interesting techniques and technologies.


    [Can spread and affect the host''s adaptation to mutated microbacteria!]


    The name was very long, but there was a very simr creature in cultural works, and that was the parasite in Resident Evil.


    It was easy to understand the word "spreadable."


    At first nce, affecting the host''s ability to adapt to the mutation seemed a little profound, but in fact, the meaning was notplicated:


    It can allow the host to actively adapt to the environment.


    Mutation was a concept simr to evolution.


    Simply put, it was mutation.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Isn''t this a parasite in biochemistry?" Wu Mo said in surprise.


    "The mall actually has such technology. However, the price should not be cheap. After all, this was something that could easily destroy the entire human race."


    He looked at the price.


    [Remark: The person being transmitted will lose his mind. After mutating to a certain extent, he will regain his mind, but he will no longer recognize humans.]


    [Price: 7 million points!]


    No longer recognized by humans?


    Wu Mo fell into deep thought.


    Could it be that the alien races were infected with this virus?


    Or was this ce really an experimental base for extraterrestrial life?


    The price was not cheap, but the technology was not necessary.


    If it was really put into use, it might even affect China and even destroy the entire civilization of mankind.


    Using these points to develop universe technology would bring even greater benefits.


    "Maybe we should take a look at the potion that the captain made. The military system should have simr technology."


    Wu Mo entered the strengthening serum into the search box, and the system quickly disyed hundreds of avable technologies.


    He looked at the most expensive one.


    [Top-grade Human Strengthening Serum: This drug can strengthen the human body''s functions and raise the human body and brain''s abilities to the gic limit. The strengthening factor would enter the bloodstream and dissipate over time, but it usually took decades.


    [Remark: The strengthening serum has a hereditary effect. It can make each generation stronger than the previous generation and strengthen the entire race.


    [Also, due to its race strengthening characteristic, the selling price is 7 million points.]


    "This strengthening serum is very interesting. It can improve the physique of everyone in a country, and it also has hereditary characteristics."


    "This is thew of natural evolution," Wu Mo said. Although it was called strengthening, it was more like evolution. Unfortunately, it was only a strengthening serum and not an evolutionary drug."


    Wu Mo continued browsing and found many interesting technologies.


    He hoped to find a serum that could eliminate the zombie virus.


    If humans were no longer threatened by the alien races, they could put all their energy into more important matters.


    ...


    At the same time, from Xu Wanqing''s perspective, Wu Mo, who was lying in the life-support cabin, was red all over. His heartbeat was elerating, just like Phantom Wolf.


    Just like Wu Mo, Xu Wanqing quickly executed the relevant procedures to deal with the situation during the strengthening process.


    Time passed by unknowingly.


    After more than 10 days, Wu Mo''s body had bepletely new. He knew this feeling like the back of his hand.


    "The strengthening effect of the medicine is bing more and more obvious."


    Wu Mo sighed. "The hematopoietic system should have been activated. My internal organs and organs are all bing younger, especially my brain. My thinking is getting faster and faster, and my intelligence has improved."


    Wu Mo could clearly feel that his brain had returned to its peak. His learning and thinking abilities had reached an extremely high level.


    "This time, I should be able to recover to the state of a 20-year-old."


    "I''m younger and stronger," he said confidently. "My muscles are stronger because they''re well-nourished."


    These spections were all based on the system data.


    As for the actual situation, only Xu Wanqing knew.


    ...


    Ten days passed quickly. This was the day Wu Mo woke up and the day the project waspleted.


    After the drug was used, Life First was about to be mass-produced.


    Xu Wanqing was concentrating on taking notes.


    "ording to the results of the instrument, Wu Mo''s body has be twenty years younger and his lifespan has been extended by thirty years. Without injecting other drugs, he can live to a hundred and 20 years old."


    "Muscle strength has increased by 21%pared to before, and the main muscle volume has increased by 10%. His skin was even more delicate and white, and many small scars had alreadypletely healed."


    After the summary of the notes, Xu Wanqing tidied her hair and talked about her personal feelings with a smile.

 Chapter 443 The Obvious Effects Of The Health Potion

    "Chief Engineer Wu has be stronger and more handsome.


    "I don''t know how effective it is, but it should improve my skin. I haven''t taken care of myself properly all these years. I haven''t even used skincare products. I''m far inferior to my colleagues in this research institute."


    She was still a woman after all, so she naturally loved beauty.


    "I estimate that I''ll recover the youth of my 19-year-old self. As for the specifics, we''ll seeter! I need to wake Chief Engineer Wu up first!"


    After sheposed herself, Xu Wanqing skillfully operated the equipment, and the nourishment cabin emitted a ticking sound.


    [Checking the physical condition of the drug user!


    [The medicine has taken full effect. Subject may be awakened at any time!]


    Xu Wanqing did not hesitate to activate the awakening protocol.


    The nourishment cabin then issued a warning sound that indicated Wu Mo was about to regain consciousness.


    The light green nutrient solution disappeared like a tide. Wu Mo''s calm breathing became rapid, and his fingers trembled slightly.


    Wu Mo opened his eyes abruptly and the feeling was unforgettable. His facial features were sharp, and his body was full of vitality. His brain, in particr, was working faster than before.


    "I haven''t felt this intense power for a long time. My mind is so clear, and my muscles...


    "I didn''t expect one medicinal treatment to raise my strength to intermediate four stars!


    "If I continue my research, would it be possible to reach seven stars in a short period of time?"


    Wu Mo lowered his head and examined his muscles. Although he was not as strong as a professional bodybuilder, he was in shape andparable to an A-list celebrity.


    He caressed his iparably smooth skin and felt like someone in showbiz.


    This was hard for Wu Mo to ept.


    "How did I be so fair?


    "I don''t feel like a former soldier."


    After all, for soldiers, tanned skin was the mark a man.


    Xu Wanqing could not help butugh when she heard Wu Mo''s ridicule.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, your skin is almost as good as mine, but you still have to cherish it these few days. In a few months, it will return to its original condition."


    "Now, let''s do a physical examination. Let the equipment test you properly to see what your current biological age is."


    Wu Mo walked up to the machine and quicklypleted the heart and lung test as well as the fat and muscle ratio test. The results were printed onto a report.


    Holding the report in his hand, Wu Mo read it carefully and quickly obtained the following information: ording to the calctions of the machine, if he did not use other drugs and avoided idents, he could easily live up to 120 years old.


    [The drug has regressed the subject''s age by 17 years. ording to the machine''s calctions, he is back to when he was 18 years old. This was the period when his body''s various functions and brain cell activity were at their peak!]


    "That''s great. Now I have more time for scientific research.


    "The problems guing my parents can also be solved.


    "Stop dawdling. We''ll fill out the applications for this project immediately and hand it over to the Academy of Sciences. They''ll be responsible for the initial expansion of production!"


    Xu Wanqing nodded.


    Although she was also on the list, she still had to wait for a while.


    She was 27 years old and had yet to reach the rmended age.


    People who were too young could not use the drug. Wu Lan, who was not yet 25 years old, was an example.


    If one used the drug too early, it might cause one to regress to adulthood instead. Not only would the effect be minimal, but it would also affect one''s normal life.


    "Alright, we''ll follow your arrangements, Chief Engineer Wu.


    "However, you should put on some clothes first."


    Wu Mo looked at himself and scratched his head awkwardly. He quickly got up and went to take a shower.


    After he washed up and put on his military uniform as well as white coat, he immediately went to the director''s office to look for Wei Chunxiu.


    As soon as they entered the office, an awkward scene inevitably unfolded.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, you...


    "Is it really you?"


    Wei Chunxiu was stunned. Her wide open eyes were filled with doubt and shock.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Who was this young and handsome man?


    Where did that calm "uncle" go?


    Furthermore, the two of them looked so simr. Could they be brothers?


    However, she never received any notification about his arrival.


    Had Wu Mo developed a medicine to prolong life as they said?


    He looked at the dumbfounded Wei Chunxiu.


    Wu Mo quickly realized that she could not recognize him because he had changed too much.


    "Comrade Wei, I underwent the same process as Phantom Wolf. We both used the special medicine. As you can see, it does have a certain effect of deaging."


    "In about a year, you''ll have the opportunity to use it too," Wu Mo exined patiently and told Wei Chunxiu the schedule for the future injections.


    Being a top-notch researcher, Wei Chunxiu had shifted her focus to management, but that would not stop her from using Life First.


    Wei Chunxiu suddenly understood.


    "I see. You consumed a type of medicine."


    "In that case, it''ll be easy. Speaking of which, you were looking for me¡­"


    Wei Chunxiu suddenly stopped.


    "Wait, what did you just say?


    "A special medicine that can make you younger?


    "Isn''t this some kind of legendary longevity medicine?


    "Did you develop longevity medicine?"


    Wu Mo did not answer Wei Chunxiu''s continuous questions because they involved confidential content.


    Seeing that Wu Mo was not responding, Wei Chunxiu had her answer.


    "I see. It''s no surprise that you managed to easily develop a medicine to extend life, Chief Engineer Wu.


    "And the entire process only took a few short months.


    "Your skills in scientific research are indeed amazing. Now that you''ve recovered your youth through a special drug, you''ll definitely be able to carry out more efficient scientific research."


    Wu Mo merely nodded and did not say anything else.


    Wei Chunxiu quickly collected her thoughts. She was no longer shocked but filled with anticipation.


    She was looking forward to the day when she could use the medicine.


    At the end of the day, which woman would refuse to be more beautiful?


    Wu Mo quickly brought up the subject of the project''spletion.


    "We''ve basicallypleted the project. Now, Comrade Xu Wanqing and I are just tying up some loose ends.


    "We''ll leave the Institute of Special Biology in three days.


    "Comrade Wei, please make the relevant preparations."


    Wu Mo was going to leave the Institute of Special Biology after thepletion of the project. Hence, he had to discuss the matter with Wei Chunxiu in advance.


    "I''ll definitely arranged things for you," Wei Chunxiu agreed without hesitation.


    The two of them discussed the details, and half an hourter, Wu Mo left the office.


    Since his lifespan had been extended, why not spar with Phantom Wolf for a while?


    With that, Wu Mo strode toward Phantom Wolf''s office.


    "I''ve never felt so rxed for a long time.


    "It''s so wonderful to be young!" Wu Mo said as he basked in the sun.


    When it was time to get off work, the female scientists in white coats rushed to the cafeteria.


    Most of them noticed Wu Mo.

 Chapter 444 Phantom Wolf Prioritizes His Girlfriend Over His Friend

    "Is that Chief Engineer Wu?"


    "I haven''t seen him for a month. He''s gotten that handsome?"


    "Oh, my God, he''s so good-looking and tall. Most of all, he''s so talented!"


    "How did he suddenly be so young? Did they really develop a life-prolonging drug?"


    The topic of conversation soon turned to the Human Life Extension Potion.


    After all, as scientists, they could make observations and draw conclusions about its existence.


    "I think he must have injected himself with that drug."


    "That''s amazing. I wonder when I''ll get to use the medicine that Chief Engineer Wu developed."


    The female scientists discussed excitedly.


    Meanwhile, Wu Mo suddenly discovered something that shocked him.


    Phantom Wolf was holding the hand of a female scientist?


    This experienced bachelor was attracting the opposite sex?


    The muscr Phantom Wolf before him was holding a young female scientist''s hand.


    Wu Mo could not help butugh at the scene.


    "This is too much. He''s almost 50 years old, but he''s dating such a young girl.


    "This is a little..."


    The thought that he was robbing the cradle entered Wu Mo''s mind.


    The scientist looked like an intern because her badge was of a different color.


    The official employee''s badge was red, while the intern''s badge was blue.


    The girl was not tall, and she had short ck hair. Being only a little over 1.6 meters tall, she disyed a cute height difference whenpared to the tall Phantom Wolf.


    If she told him that she was Phantom Wolf''s daughter, Wu Mo would believe her without hesitation.


    Wu Mo quickly approached Phantom Wolf and patted him on the shoulder.


    "Yo, Brother, I''ve only been away for a month, and you''ve already found yourself a beautiful girlfriend?"


    Wu Mo usually did not hold back with his old friends. In addition, both of them had the personality of a soldier; they were straightforward and honest.


    When Phantom Wolf heard the word "girlfriend," he could not help but scratch his head awkwardly.


    The girl next to him lowered her head shyly.


    "Old Wu, stop spouting nonsense. She hasn''t be my girlfriend yet."


    Wu Mo almostughed out loud.


    Phantom Wolf, who looked as resolute as steel, was actually shy?


    Moreover, the word "yet" meant that their rtionship had progressed to "more than friendly, but not yet in love."


    Most importantly, the girl beside him did not deny it. She only patted Phantom Wolf on the shoulder.


    "Don''t say that. You''re so shy."


    Wu Mo was not the only one who found it funny.


    Their other female colleagues could not help butugh.


    Phantom Wolf was not bad. He was a senior colonel, and he had the potential to be promoted.


    After he received the Human Life Extension Potion, his looks had also improved greatly. Although he was not as impressive as Wu Mo, he was still a catch.


    At the same time, Phantom Wolf was frank enough that he did not y tricks with people.


    "Let''s forget this for now. Since the project is over, I have to go back.


    "Would you like to tag along?"


    When Wu Mo asked the question, he had already predicted the answer.


    Wu Mo had not fallen into the whirlpool that was love.


    However, Phantom Wolf could no longer escape it.


    It was very likely that he would not leave.


    As expected, Phantom Wolf replied, "I''m on vacation now. My superior heard that I was in a rtionship and immediately approved a five-month leave so that I can work on my rtionship!


    "I''ll be apanying Little Zhang for the next five months.


    "You can go back first, Old Wu. I''ll deal with some personal matters here!"


    Wu Moughed it off.


    "Alright, I won''t disturb you anymore. Goodbye!"<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Wu Mo turned around and left.


    ...


    Wu Mo continued sighed as he sat in the car.


    ''Phantom Wolf actually values his girlfriend over his friends. How unexpected!


    ''Forget it, I''m not going worry about him. I''ll hand in the project first.''


    Soon, the car arrived at the airport.


    Wu Mo and Xu Wanqing, who had changed into formal attire, boarded a private ne and headed to the old chief''s headquarters.


    The old chief had been informed of their arrival in advance, and there would be a meeting to discuss future development. At the same time, this would allow others to witness the miraculous effects of Life First.


    The ne flew extremely fast, and in just a dozen hours, it had crossed more than half of China.


    After theynded at their destination airport, they saw a jeep waiting for them as soon as they walked out.


    Wu Mo and Xu Wanqing quickly got in.


    "Huh?"


    "Leader Wu, how did you be so young?"


    Hearing the soldier''s question, Wu Mo smiled and replied, "Well, I used something special, but I can''t tell you the details because it''s confidential."


    With that, the soldier did not ask for further details.


    As soldiers, they should know what to say, what not to say, what to ask, and what not to ask.


    "Alright then, I''ll speed up to the headquarters!"


    The jeep sped up, and they arrived at the familiar but also unfamiliar headquarters about two hourster. They reached just before dinnertime.


    Wu Mo could not wait to get out of the car, and he was soon led to the old chief''s office.


    Thump! Thump! Thump!


    Someone knocked on the office door.


    The door was quickly opened, and the old chief''s personal guard appeared before him.


    "Leader Wu, you''re here.


    "The chief has been waiting for a long time."


    In the past, the old chief''s personal guard did not rank lower than Wu Mo.


    However, the guard knew how to judge the situation. From the smile on the old chief''s face when he talked about Wu Mo, the guard knew that he could notpare to Wu Mo.


    The old chief''s words had also strengthened his resolve to get close to Wu Mo.


    Therefore, whether it was a call or a meeting, the guard was very respectful toward Wu Mo.


    Wu Mo and Xu Wanqing quickly sat down.


    The old chief swept his gaze across the room. He was clearly shocked by Wu Mo''s youthfulness.


    "This is amazing. You''re actually back in your 20s, just like the first time I saw you."


    "Yes, Life First has made me 17 years younger. I feel full of energy and strength now."


    Wu Mo exuded confidence and heroism.


    In response, the old chief nodded in satisfaction.


    "Hahaha, I''m eager to try it as well. I nned to retire at first, but now, it seems that I have to work for another 30 years."


    The old chief would naturally be the first to use Life First.


    Even though he was not a frontlinebatant, as an officer whomanded the frontline, he still needed to be strengthened.


    "Chief, what''s the main agenda of our meeting?"


    "The agenda is as follows."


    "First, we''ll bemending you. I didn''t expect you to suddenly develop Life First. It''s made it more difficult for us tomend you.


    "But that''s not the main point.


    "We need to discuss the direction of future development. I originally had reservations about biological research, but after seeing the changes in you and Phantom Wolf, I''ve decided to develop it further."


    p¦Ánd¦Á---no¦Í?1,§ão§® "Our discussion is not about whether to develop, but how to develop."


    Wu Mo immediately became serious.


    This meeting would determine the future of China to arge extent.


    One aspect of that would be the development of biotechnology and its equipment.

 Chapter 445 Father Of Human Life Medicine

    Their meeting was about how they would develop future equipment and what the next direction of research would be. The main point was to discuss the needs of the three armies before they decided on the specific equipment.


    "Chief, this meeting might decide the future!"


    The old chief nodded.


    "You''re still the heart of this meeting, Wu Mo.


    "So, let''s cut the chit-chat. The meeting has begun. Let''s go!"


    With that, the old chief stood up, and Wu Mo followed closely behind.


    The two of them arrived at the new meeting room, and many high-ranking officers entered the conference room one after another.


    After the old chief''s brief opening speech, they discussed the first topic on their agenda¡ªWu Mo''smendation.


    Wu Mo did not directly participate in the discussion when it came to hismendation. Following the principle of exclusion and avoidance, he acted as a bystander and observed everyone instead.


    Naturally, no one would award themselves.


    Therefore, the principle of exclusion and avoidance had to be followed here.


    In the meeting, many strong-level officers spoke in session.


    "I believe that Comrade Wu Mo has made a huge contribution. He should be given huge material reward, and we should extend his parents'' retirement period. This is in line with the relevant regtions."


    The old chief nodded in agreement. Then, another Pir-rank senior stood up and said, "He has already been awarded a medal before. I suggest that he be awarded a Pir-rank medal.


    "On top of that, we should make sure he gets the necessary material rewards."


    Everyone present understood the importance of Life First to China.


    However, the significance of the Pir medal was extraordinary.


    Every person who received this medal was a pir of the country.


    Without a doubt, Wu Mo''s breakthrough in his research had made him famous.


    p¦Ánd¦Á---no¦Í?1,§ão§® His status in the field of equipment development and manufacturing had improved by an unprecedented measure.


    Everyone looked forward to such a rise in status.


    Even though Wu Mo''s previous achievements had also attracted the attention of the leaders, he had always felt limited.


    If he continued the previous pattern, it would probably seriously slow down his growth.


    The sess of this research gave him hope.


    Only by bing an authority figure could one obtain a higher status and control.


    At the same time, they would receive even greater support.


    Wu Mo felt an inexplicable sense of frustration in his heart as if something important was about to happen in the future.


    With such motivation, he had no choice but to be more decisive.


    The old chief frowned and contemted for a moment. Then he stood up and said, "ording to ourrade''s suggestion earlier, Wu Mo will be heralded as the Father of Human Life Medicine, but this will only be limited to internal announcements. The specifics are top secret.


    "In addition, the reward will be one billion yuan in cash. This is a summary of the previous rewards. A first-ss merit medal will be awarded and rmended to the selection of major medals.


    "Lastly, Wu Mo will be awarded a Pir-rank medal and enjoy the treatment of a general."


    This was the highest material reward they had given out since the establishment of China.


    Wu Mo was a little surprised. He did not even know how to spend one billion yuan.


    However, since the leaders wanted give him a reward, there was no need for him to refuse.


    As for the first-ss merit, only one was awarded because the reward was for the individual''s deeds, not the individual.


    The core manufacturing technology of Life First was the longevity factor.


    Anyway, to Wu Mo, the medal was no longer necessary. He already had the Medal of the Century.


    After he announced the award ceremony, the old chief''s gazended on Wu Mo.


    "Comrade Wu, what do you think of these arrangements?"


    "I have no issues with them. Whatever you say, Chief."<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Wu Mo expressed hisplete eptance.


    The old chief heaved a sigh of relief and returned to his seat.


    The most difficult issue had been solved. The next thing was to discuss the development direction of biological applications for the military.


    "The discussion regarding Comrade Wu Mo has ended.


    "We will now discuss the future development of military biology."


    Everyone present was eager to participate. They had prepared themselves for this for a long time.


    Nearly 10 officers took turns to express their opinions before the old chief invited the first Pir-rank officer to speak.


    "Chief, Comrades, I believe that the application of military biology should focus on the following aspects.


    "First of all, like the exoskeleton armor, we should research a physique strengthening drug simr to the lifespan extension drug. Such a drug would resemble the strengthening serum in science fiction movies. I think this technology shouldn''t be difficult for Chief Engineer Wu, right?"


    After he said this, the Pir-rank officer looked at Wu Mo.


    "No problem," Wu Mo answered without hesitation. "I can develop the relevant strengthening serum. It''s not difficult for me."


    Once he received Wu Mo''s assurance, the burly officer continued to borate on his ideas and theories.


    "The strengthening serum may not be able to greatly increase thebat effectiveness of soldiers like in science fiction, but even a small increase will be a qualitative leap on the battlefield.


    "Therefore, I believe that this will be one of the key development directions in the future.


    "My speech is over."


    The Pir-rank officer then sat back down, and there was a symbolic round of apuse.


    "May the nextrade speak." The old chief began to control the pace of the entire meeting.


    Another officer raised his hand. After the old chief nodded, he immediately stood up and shared his opinion.


    "Comrades, from a biological point of view, I think we should focus our development on the gic level.


    "Genes are the source code of living things. As long as we modify them, we can improve the physical fitness andbat effectiveness of soldiers at will.


    "Even if gic modification cannot be achieved directly, there will be a qualitative leap on the battlefield if the relevant drugs can be produced.


    "I believe that Wu Mo can achieve this, right?"


    There were many aspects that could be achieved through gic modification, such as eliminating shortsightedness, preventing obesity, as well as improving physical fitness, the five senses, the digestive ability, and so on.


    Wu Mo''s face twitched a few times.


    Although he did have the ability to achieve this, it always made people feel like he was ordering the soldiers around like livestock.


    Facing this question, Wu Mo gave an affirmative response.


    Then, another burly officer stood up and expressed his opinion.


    "My opinion is as follows: Whether it''s the strengthening serum or the gic modification drug, there will inevitably be limitations. I think we should just develop equipment and devices that can carry out group gic modification.


    "Although such group strengthening might not be as obvious as individual strengthening, it is definitely more cost-effective.


    "I believe that Comrade Wu Mo has the ability to create such equipment and devices. After all, he once developed the Dragon Control Device."


    Wu Mo was speechless.


    However, he could not show any dissatisfaction in front of so many big shots.


    After all, what they said was true.


    Moreover, what they were talking about was also part of his n.


    After thest officer sat down, thunderous apuse immediately erupted from the venue.


    Obviously, their apuse was for Wu Mo.


    The scene gradually quieted down.


    Only then did the old chief stand up to conclude the meeting.

 Chapter 446 Deciding The Time For His Parents Injection

    "The three development pathways that have been established are respectively serum enhancement, gene remodeling, and local enhancement equipment. This is the direction we have chosen together. As for the detailed implementation n, I''ll discuss it with Comrade Wu Mo alone."


    After concluding his speech, the old chief leisurely sat back in his seat.


    "Not long ago, the outside world couldn''t stop talking about China''s gic research despite our best efforts to deny everything. But what they used to say isn''t true anymore.


    "What do you think, Comrade Wu Mo?"


    "They were right," Wu Mo replied frankly."


    In the past, China hated the suppression of firepower, hated its enemy''s air of superiority, and hated those who were armed to the teeth.


    However, times had changed, and China had gradually be what it once hated.


    Not only were the soldiers well-equipped, but they had also developed the world''s leading fighter jets, vigorously promoted firepower suppression tactics, and even invested in gic research, leading the world.


    Wu Mo''s view was very simple. Since you said that we are engaged in gic research, then we will do as you wish and devote ourselves to gic research.


    As the meeting wasing to an end, an officer could not help but ask, "Chief,rades, gic research has been resisted by many countries around the world. If we go deep into it, it may cause a bad impact."


    As soon as this question came out, many people fell into deep thought.


    Actually, everyone had an answer to this question, including Wu Mo. It was just that he had never taken the initiative to mention it.


    This was because everyone understood that they had to take the first step. If they encountered any difficulties, they would think of a way to resolve it.


    However, since the question had been raised, they could not turn a blind eye to it.


    Wu Mo had already prepared himself for this question. He quickly raised his hand to indicate that he was willing to answer.


    The old general immediately let him speak.


    "My fellow colleagues, we really don''t have to worry too much about this problem."


    "Just like the weather regtor, what we are researching is not gic weapons, but methods to treat gic-rted diseases."


    "How can academic research be reduced to a weapon?"


    "I believe everyone here agrees with my views on aging and mortality."


    " Since these have been defined as diseases, we are obviously looking for a cure, not a so-called military weapon."


    Wu Mo''s tone was calm, and his face did not turn red.


    Even the senior officers present couldn''t help but feel a sense of respect.


    What a young and promising officer!


    Wu Mo''s performance reminded everyone of a saying: The person controlling the battle tactic would definitely have a dark heart.


    Everyoneughed.


    "Little Wu, you''ve improved so quickly!


    "Sigh, looks like I have to work harder to keep up with you, Little Wu."


    "Well said, aging and death are just diseases. Our goal is to cure them, not to use military weapons."


    ¦Ñ¦Á§ád¦Á---n?¦Ía| §ãom "Yes, the so-called strengthening serum and so on are just health supplements."


    "I agree!"


    The old chief, Wu Mo, and the others quickly reached a consensus. ording to Wu Mo''s logic, Life First was nothing more than a health supplement.


    The strengthening serum was just a better and moresting fitness pump.


    As for the physique-strengthening equipment, it was not a military weapon. It was just a massage chair that was more thorough, powerful, and extensive.


    As the meeting came to an end, Wu Mo realized that he had gradually be the person he once hated.


    Everyone left in an orderly manner. Just as Wu Mo was about to stand up and bid farewell, the old chief gently gestured.


    Wu Mo understood and continued to sit still.


    After the crowd dispersed, the old chief slowly said, "Little Wu..."


    Wu Mo immediately straightened his posture and listened.


    "It was mentioned in the meeting just now that your parents are old and should retire. However, they were the first to use Life First. In that case, there was no need to retire. Therefore, after they used Life First, their retirement time would be appropriately dyed."


    This was good news for Wu Mo.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Although the Wu family lived a carefree life, Mr. Wu had a tough personality. He was naturally uneasy about living on Wu Mo''s sry.


    If he continued to work, he could avoid this awkwardness.


    This was also a special case, just like how Wu Mo was promoted to a Pir-rank officer.


    "Chief, thank you for considering my family''s situation."


    Wu Mo bowed to express his gratitude.


    He might be the developer of Life First.


    However, as a top-secret project, he could not give it to whoever he wanted.


    Every time Life First was used, it had to go through various levels of approval.


    Originally, Wu Mo thought that his parents would need to wait a few months before they could use it.


    He did not expect the surprise toe so quickly!


    "You deserve it. You have contributed to the country and should be rewarded. I hope that you can reach a higher level in the military industry."


    "To a certain extent, you are also my savior. This is what I should do."


    This sentence was too humble, and Wu Mo could not ept it.


    "Old Chief, you''ve done your best for the country, so I should do my best!"


    The two of them smiled knowingly and did not continue this subject.


    Before leaving, the old general told him a piece of news. "Your parents will be using Life First within ten days."


    "The location will be at the Institute of Special Biology. You can apany me when the timees."


    "You can inform your parents now and tell them to be prepared. In addition, someone will contact you about this matter."


    Wu Mo nodded and expressed his gratitude again.


    After the two of them parted ways, Wu Mo sent the old general off and returned to the Institute of Special Biology.


    When Wu Mo arrived at the research institute, he had already informed his parents of the news.


    ...


    In the residential area, Wu Mo''s father got out of the car and walked tiredly through the neighborhood.


    The neighbors along the way greeted him warmly.


    The residents of the settlement all knew that Wu Mo was a military officer, but they did not know his specific rank, let alone that he had be a Pir-rank officer.


    In addition to Wu Mo''s first-ss merit, the neighbors treated the Wu family kindly and supported each other on weekdays.


    After greeting them, Mr. Wu came to the front of the house and carefully checked the que which said, "Home of First-ss Meritorious Officials," to see if it was stained.


    After confirming that everything was fine, he opened the door and returned home.


    Putting down his briefcase, Wu Mo''s fatheryfortably on the couch.


    "Honey, what''s good for dinner tonight?" Mrs. Wu, who was busy in the kitchen, replied.


    "Let''s eat corn rib soup tonight. Seriously, you only care about food when youe back every day. You''d better watch yourself before you be a pig."


    "Haha, then I have to thank my beloved wife!"


    "Alright, alright, stop showing off. Wash your hands and eat."


    As she spoke, Mrs. Wu brought out a pot of steaming hot corn rib soup.


    Just as she was about to eat, Mr. Wu''s phone rang.


    He picked up his phone and saw that it was a video call from Wu Mo.


    Mr. Wu immediately picked up.


    Wu Mo rarely took the initiative to contact his family. He would only asionally call during holidays or Mrs. Wu would take the initiative to call to strengthen the family ties.


    Now that Wu Mo took the initiative to call, Mr. Wu was naturally overjoyed.


    He put down his chopsticks and quickly picked up the phone.

 Chapter 447 The Chief Is Actually His Son

    "Son, why are you calling sote at night? What''s the matter?"


    Wu Mo smiled on the other end of the line.


    "I have good news for you and Mom today!"


    Mr. Wu immediately became excited. Wu Mo had never taken the initiative to share good news. Something big must have happened this time.


    "Tell me what the good news is," he asked eagerly.


    "Here''s the thing. You''re about to retire, so I discussed it with the higher-ups and decided to postpone your retirement for 30 years. Of course, 25 years is fine too."


    Mr. Wu was partially happy and partially worried when he heard this. Although he had always been proud of his hard work, he was worried that his body could no longer keep up.


    He shook his head and sighed. "I want to continue working too, but I''m getting old. I''m afraid I no longer have the energy."


    Wu Mo smiled on the screen. "Dad, have you noticed that I''ve be younger?"


    Only then did Mr. Wu carefully observe his son. He quickly took out his presbyopic sses from his briefcase.


    Upon closer inspection, he was surprised to find that Wu Mo indeed looked much younger than he did thest time he returned home.


    "How did you be so young?"


    Mrs. Wu also walked over to take a look as well.


    The two seniors were surprised.


    Was their son not a middle-aged man?


    Yet, at this moment, he looked like an 18-year-old youth.


    The two seniors suspected that there was something wrong with their eyes.


    Seeing his parents'' surprise, Wu Mo revealed the truth.


    "Dad, Mom, the army has developed an anti-aging drug. It has a certain effect of rejuvenation. I''ve made some contributions to the army over the years, so I have ess to this drug. I n to leave it to the both of you."


    Hearing this, the two seniors were so shocked that they became speechless.


    Mrs. Wu even wondered if she was dreaming.


    The anti-aging drug actually had the effect of rejuvenation?


    "Son, don''t lie to us. We''re old, and we can''t take the shock!" Wu Mo''s mother sincerely expressed her doubts.


    However, his father did not suspect anything.


    He understood Wu Mo''s personality. His son might lie to others, but he would never lie to his parents. Even if he did on asion, it would only be out of kindness.


    "Let me talk to my son." Mr. Wu''s expression was serious.


    His blood was boiling.


    He had finally climbed to his current position, but he was facing retirement.


    Now that he knew that he could continue working for 30 years, he saw a bright future ahead.


    "I trust you. When will the injection begin? Your mother and I will make preparations in advance!"


    Wu Mo chuckled and revealed the exact time.


    "We can start in four days. However, this matter had to be kept a secret. No matter if it was rtives, friends, or neighbors, they could not tell anyone. This scientific research result was still ssified as top secret!"


    The two seniors nodded solemnly.


    In fact, thest sentence was notpletely true.


    The news of Life First would eventually be exposed. As more and more people received the injection, it would be harder and harder to keep it secret until it was finally made public.


    For the personnel of the research institute, it might be possible to keep it a secret for the time being.


    However, those frontline personnel who were active in the public eye.


    Even if he hid it, he probably wouldn''t be able to hide it for long.


    Wu Mo said this to remind his talkative mother.


    p¦Ánd¦Á---no¦Í?1,§ão§® He knew that it was very difficult to hide any secrets from her.


    However, as long as it concerned Wu Mo''s future, she would rather die than reveal a single thing.


    Mr. Wu also understood that he was reminding Mrs. Wu.


    "When you go out to y mahjong or square dance, you must keep it a secret. This concerns our son''s future. Don''t bring him trouble because of your negligence."


    Mrs. Wu nodded solemnly. "Don''t worry. I won''t harm our son. "Hurry up and finish the soup. After that, we can get ready to set off."<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Four dayster, Mr. Wu was awakened by Mrs. Wu at five in the morning. After washing up, he walked out of the house in a daze.


    Just as they reached the entrance of the neighborhood, a green jeep came to pick them up.


    After the two seniors got into the jeep, they drove straight to the airport.


    Before 10.00 pm, Mr. and Mrs. Wu arrived at the Institute of Special Biology.


    "This ce is magnificent!" Mr. Wu sighed.


    As soon as they got out of the car, 12 female warriors came to wee them. They had received special permission from the chief to move in after the Institute of Special Biology was confirmed to be the manufacturing site of Life First.


    "Wee to the Institute of Special Biology!"


    Mr. Wu nodded in satisfaction.


    He was also a section chief now, and his temperament as a leader had long been nurtured.


    "Hello, sorry to trouble you!"


    The warrior leading the team immediately led Wu Mo''s parents into the research institute.


    "The chief is already waiting inside. Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu, please follow us."


    The chief was personally receiving them?


    Mr. Wu immediately became cautious, and Mrs. Wu also felt extremely nervous.


    With the warrior''s guidance, the two of them entered the Institute of Special Biology.


    As soon as they entered the hall, Mr. Wu saw a high-ranking officer with his back to them discussing work with his assistant.


    This person was Wu Mo, but his parents did not realize it.


    Mr. Wu became even more cautious and thought this must be his son''s superior. He could not be negligent in the slightest, lest it affected his son''s future.


    People said that parents were of one heart, and right then, Wu Mo was a perfect interpretation of this saying.


    "Hello, Chief!"


    Wu Mo heard the familiar voice and turned around.


    At that moment, Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu were stunned.


    Was the chief their son?


    His son was already a high-ranking officer?


    "Dad, what are you talking about?" Wu Mo shook his head helplessly. "I''m your son."


    It was a small misunderstanding, and Mr. Wu was not embarrassed in the slightest. Instead, he was overjoyed.


    After all, who would not be happy to have a Pir-rank officer in the family?


    "My wonderful son, you''re still being mysterious with us! I didn''t even know you were a high-ranking officer. This is a great honor to our ancestors!"


    Mr. Wu sighed in his heart.


    Mrs. Wu walked over impatiently and reached out to touch Wu Mo''s face. "Wow, your skin''s even smoother than a youngdy''s. I wonder what I''ll look like if I use it?"


    Although Mrs. Wu was already 60 years old, she still had a heart for beauty.


    Wu Mo smiled. "If you use it, you''ll definitely be prettier than an 18-year-old girl, Mom."


    Mrs. Wu smiled happily and nodded repeatedly.


    Wu Mo looked at the time. "The kitchen has prepared a sumptuous dinner especially for you. I''ve also invited a few friends to eat with us."


    Wu Mo''s parents naturally did not refuse.


    Soon, everyone arrived at the cafeteria. Wu Mo''s friends included Phantom Wolf and his girlfriend.


    Just as they sat down, Phantom Wolf held his girlfriend''s hand and walked over.


    After several days of interaction, their rtionship had be official.


    Phantom Wolf was overjoyed, and he smiled at everyone. This was something that never happened in the past.


    Once Wu Mo''s mother understood their situation, she immediately turned her attention to Phantom Wolf and his girlfriend.


    Like a loving mother, she asked about their lives with concern and taught them many ways to pursue the opposite sex.


    Phantom Wolf''s girlfriend was so shy that her face turned red.

 Chapter 448 Girlfriend

    Soon, everyone finished their dinner.


    When night fell, Wu Mo arranged for his parents to stay in the dormitory.


    The next day, the Life First drug was ready for the two of them.


    Wu Mo could not help but smile when he saw the white potion.


    "It''s said that time is gold. As long as they''re safe, it is my wish. With this potion that can extend my lifespan by 30 years, I will continue to work hard. Perhaps one day, I can really develop the technology of immortality."


    The word "eternal life" was a heavy word for the entire human race.


    It was equally heavy for biologists because the mystery behind immortality was so deep that it seemed to only exist in ancient legends and science fiction.


    For Wu Mo, who had the military system, eternal life was within his reach.


    The biggest obstacle was the military points. As long as there was enough time, the more projects hepleted, the more points he would umte.


    Eternal life seemed to be within reach, and even all the whimsical ideas in science fiction could be realized.


    Wu Mo ced the Life Potion into the freezer.


    In order to avoid suspicion, he handed over the injection procedure to the two teams.


    The first group was made up of Fu Hongqian and other relevant assistants, who were responsible for injecting Mrs. Wu. The other group was led by another scientist, who was mainly responsible for the injection of Mr. Wu.


    After making the necessary arrangements, Wu Mo carried the cooler to the injection room.


    As usual, Wu Mo''s parents fasted for a day before the injection and only drank some nutrient solution before the start.


    Wu Mo solemnly said to the researchers, "Sorry to trouble everyone."


    The other researchers dared not be negligent and brought out their best.


    The injection procedure began.


    Wu Mo''s parents were waiting in the nourishment cabin to ept the new students.


    They were the third and fourth people to receive the Life First injection, even before the old chief.


    Due to the old chief''s position, he could not easily spare a month''s time.


    At present, they were also actively arranging work to try to get the injection as soon as possible.


    Afterpleting this series of work, Wu Mo was ready to give himself a holiday.


    He nned to make a trip to Shanghai.


    There was someone he loved waiting for him.


    Wu Yan was about to finish her university studies.


    Once she graduated, she would have an advanced degree from her academy.


    Coupled with Wu Mo''s support, it was not difficult to achieve brilliant achievements in the film industry.


    "It''s been more than a year, and we haven''t seen each other in real life." As Wu Mo thought about it, anticipation rose in his heart.


    After he packed his luggage, Wu Mo put on casual clothes and took a private car to the nearest airport.


    Although China was divided into nine provinces, it was only the integration of many states.


    Shanghai was currently the capital of the Eastern Peace Region.


    Five hourster, the nended at Shanghai Airport.


    Wu Mo immediately headed to Shanghai University with a set of high-end cosmetics in his hand.


    Although such makeup was expensive and Wu Mo rarely had such luxury, he took a cab to Shanghai University. The security guard did not stop him, so he easily entered the campus.


    As soon as he stepped into the campus, he immediately attracted the attention of countless girls.


    "That young man is so handsome. He looks youthful. Is he here to look for his girlfriend or sister?"


    "No matter who he''s looking for, his temperament is indeed different. He doesn''t exude the exuberant youth of a young man but a deep and steady sense of maturity. The way he walks also carries the air of a soldier. Perhaps he is one."


    Some girls talked about him animatedly, but Wu Mo did not care.


    He stood under the library and sent Shen Qingya a message. [Come to the library. I have a surprise for you.]


    [What surprise?] Shen Qingya replied. [Today''s not a special day.]


    [You''ll find out when youe down.] Wu Mo replied.


    Shen Qingya did not say anything else and ran downstairs quickly. Her actions caused confusion among the people around her.


    "Why is Goddess Shen in such a hurry today? She''s always been verydylike."


    "Maybe her boyfriend''s here?"


    "That''s not possible. Her standards are very high. That rich second-generation heir didn''t even move her."<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Yeah, after that rich second-generation heir was rejected, he''s now fullymitted to his studies. I heard that he''s also taking a PhD examination.


    As the students discussed among themselves, Shen Qingya quickly appeared downstairs.


    She saw Wu Mo holding makeup and flowers.


    When their eyes met, she felt a deep shock.


    All these years, Shen Qingya had been feeling wronged. Her rtionship with Wu Mo had not been made public, mostly because Wu Mo was a soldier.


    Now, their love could finally be made public.


    When the two of them met, the scene was like the first time they met at the airport.


    Shen Qingya ran to Wu Mo with tears streaming down her face, and the two hugged each other tightly.


    This scene shocked countless people on campus, because they previously thought that Shen Qingya was a wooden statue.


    Wu Mo and Shen Qingya walked hand in hand on campus.


    The two of them had indeed attracted a lot of attention¡ªone was handsome and the other was the goddess of the campus.


    Although she wasn''t the campus belle, Shen Qingya was still popr and had many suitors.


    However, whether it was openly or secretly, she had always rejected him. This had been the case for ten years.


    The campus life was rxed and pleasant, and the two of them got along well.


    "Wu Mo, how did you be so young? You look like my younger brother," Shen Qingya said with a smile.


    Wu Mo could not help but take a few more nces.


    "Well, I''m sorry I can''t tell you the truth now. But I''ll definitely tell you when the time is right."


    Shen Qingya was sensible and did not ask further.


    She gave Wu Mo a serious tour around the campus.


    Wu Mo had once attended a military school. Although it was called a university, it was more like a military training institute.


    Girls were rare, and they were sought after for thousands of miles.


    He had always yearned for the life of an ordinary university.


    Now, he could only stand and watch from afar.


    After the two of them finished touring the campus, they began their sweet date.


    They held hands and left the campus under everyone''s gaze.


    This included the rich second-generation heir who had confessed to Shen Qingya.


    After he heard the news, he immediately rushed over and saw the truth. He was defeated alone in the wind.


    His figure caused the passing students to gossip.


    "Sigh, I fell in love with the wrong person!"


    "His family background is prominent, his looks are outstanding, and most importantly, he''s ambitious. He pursued Su Ziling for so many years but failed."


    "It really makes my heart ache. This guy has fallen in love with the wrong person."


    "Everyone has to learn a lesson. You can''t put all your eggs in one basket, and you can''t cling to a leaf in life. It can only be said that he lost his life because of a moment of confusion!"


    "The guy who managed to woo Goddess Su is really amazing. He must have something extraordinary!"


    "Just by looking at his footsteps, I can tell that he''s a soldier. His background is probably not simple."


    Liu Ming''s face gradually turned ashen when he heard the discussions around him.


    As a rich second-generation heir, he had pursued Shen Qingya for many years.


    This was the first time he had faced so many people mocking him.


    Although he could feel the aura of a soldier from the man beside his goddess, he was still a little worried.


    However, judging from the young face of the other party, he was a little hesitant.


    He was so young that he should be Qingya''s younger brother!


    However, if they were siblings, wouldn''t their actions be too intimate?


    Could it be?


    Was this kid also a rich second-generation heir?


    Was Shen Qingya this kid''s sugar baby?

 Chapter 449 Wu Mos Debts

    The more he thought about it, the angrier Liu Ming became.


    After heposed himself, Liu Ming walked forward with a smile.


    "Qingya, is your little brother here? Let''s go, I''ll make reservations at Ming Yun Restaurant! I''ll make it happen!"


    Ming Yun Restaurant was a very famous fine dining restaurant in Shanghai.


    The chefs there came from other Michelin restaurants, and the ingredients in the kitchen were from all over the world.


    For example, fresh milk from New Zend would be shipped over by air within half a day as long as it was needed.


    It was the same for the other ingredients.


    Hence, Ming Yun Restaurant not only sold expensive dishes, but it also required patrons to make reservations in advance.


    Wu Mo was chatting intimately with Shen Qingya, so he frowned when he heard someone speak to his girlfriend that way.


    However, he was not surprised.


    After all, Shen Qingya was a goddess, so it was only normal for her to have a few admirers.


    "This is my boyfriend!"


    Shen Qingya''s cold voice rang in Wu Mo''s ears.


    After a short conversation, she was finally sure that she could make her rtionship with Wu Mo public.


    Although she could not reveal Wu Mo''s true identity, she would not hide him like before.


    "Is there a problem? We can take care of our own meals, so we won''t trouble you!"


    Wu Mo''s tone was indifferent.


    He really did not care about such rich kids.


    The word "boyfriend" struck Liu Ming like thunder.


    In the past, when Shen Qingya said that she had a boyfriend, he thought that she had only said to reject him.


    Unexpectedly, the mysterious boyfriend she had mentioned would actually appear one day.


    While Liu Ming was a little angry, he did not care about their rtionship.


    After all, Wu Mo only appeared to be 18 or 19 years old. Even if he was a soldier, he probably did not have a high position.


    Such a person was not worthy of Shen Qingya.


    He felt even angrier, especially when Wu Mo looked at him with disdain.


    At that thought, Liu Ming''s fury surged.


    He no longer cared about being a gentleman. Since he was a two-star martial artist, he reached out to grab Wu Mo.


    Even if it was impossible for him to be with Shen Qingya anymore, he had to teach this kid a lesson today.


    Although the movements of two-star strength were fast, they were iparably slow in Wu Mo''s eyes.


    Pa!


    He held Liu Ming''s hand firmly with hisrge hand.


    At the same time, Wu Mo''s voice reached Liu Ming''s ears.


    "You have mere two-star strength, yet you dare to use force on me?"


    "You... Let go of me! Argh!"


    The moment his hand was grabbed, Liu Ming''s eyes were filled with surprise.


    When he tried to pull his hand away, he realized that he could not pull his hand out of Wu Mo''s grasp no matter how hard he tried.


    A look of fear appeared in Liu Ming''s eyes.


    Why was this young man so strong? He was at least a three-star martial artist.


    How did he cultivate?


    Could it be that he was a disciple of arge family with a powerful background?


    "Let go!"


    The intense pain from his palm made Liu Ming lose his mind.


    Without thinking, he mobilized the power in his body and swung his fist at Wu Mo''s face.


    Dush!


    How could Wu Mo give Liu Ming a chance?


    Without thinking, he raised his leg and kicked Liu Ming in the stomach.


    Liu Ming let out a blood-curdling scream as his body flew high into the air.


    Boom!


    Liu Ming then directly fell into a trash can in the distance.


    "Hehe, you really overestimated yourself. Let''s go on a date!"<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Wu Mo snorted and walked toward the gate with Shen Qingya.


    "Wu Mo, Liu Ming''s family is very powerful in Shanghai. He..."


    Shen Qingya looked at Wu Mo with concern.


    e¦Áglesn?¦Íel "It''s okay. Someone will deal with himter!"


    Wu Mo waved his hand nonchntly.


    With his current Pir rank, he had several security guards with strengths no lower than five stars around him.


    No matter how powerful Liu Ming''s family was, they were only a drop in the ocean when facing the state.


    As he walked out, Wu Mo briefly exined his situation, and Shen Qingya''s mouth grew increasingly wide as she listened to Wu Mo.


    Although she was surprised, Shen Qingya felt extremely proud of him.


    ...


    Wu Mo and Shen Qingya had a good time together on the busiest pedestrian street in the bustling Shanghai.


    Within a few hours, the two of them watched a movie, had dinner together, and even enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Shanghai''s Yangtze River.


    However, Wu Mo could not hide the guilt in his heart.


    Shen Qingya was about to turn 30, and for the past 10 years, her world had almostpletely revolved around him.


    Yet, she rarely experienced the sweetness of love, and deep conversations between them were rare.


    Every time he thought about this, Wu Mo could not help but sigh.


    He had never fallen short when it came to meeting the expectations of his superiors, carrying out his responsibilities to his subordinates, or showing his love for his family.


    He was only a disappointment to his girlfriend.


    Fortunately, the mystery of longevity had been unveiled.


    To a certain extent, one''s lifespan was already close to infinity. What could not be given could be slowly made up in the future.


    Wu Mo shook his head and devoted himself to spending time with Shen Qingya.


    The two of them strolled along the river until 10.00 pm. Shen Qingya then took the initiative to suggest going back to the university


    "Wu Mo, I have to return to campus. The dormitory warden will be worried."


    "Alright, I''ll send you back."


    Shen Qingya did not refuse.


    The two of them took ate-night cab and talked about each other''s future in the car.


    Half an hourter, the cab stopped at the university gate.


    After he sent Shen Qingya back to campus, Wu Mo went to a nearby faculty building to stay the night.


    He was no ordinary person, but the local guest house in Shanghai was full, so he could only stay in the faculty building temporarily.


    He showed his military officer ID andpleted the identity verification process.


    The faculty head personally came to receive him, and the two of themmunicated for more than an hour before Wu Mo moved into a quiet dormitory.


    For the next 28 days, Wu Mo spent all his time with Shen Qingya. Their rtionship had blossomed rapidly, but they were still not closest.


    The day before Wu Mo''s parents woke up, he chose to bid farewell to Shen Qingya.


    On campus, the two of them held hands.


    "Qingya, my vacation ising to an end. I''m going back to the unit."


    "Okay, you go. I''ll take care of myself.


    "Okay, I''ll keep in touch with you through video call in the future."


    After the hug, Wu Mo got into a car and headed to the airport.


    Before nightfall, Wu Mo returned to the Special Creatures Research Institute, exhausted.


    He first handed over his work information to Xu Wanqing.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, the effects of the medicine are very ideal. Uncle and Auntie have both received an extension of 30 years of life and are 17 years younger at the same time. This is rted to their physique and age."


    He was seventeen years younger, just like Wu Mo.


    "Very good. You''ve worked hard this month. You''ve been protecting my parents."


    "This is what I should do."


    "In addition, the awakening procedure will be activated at nine o''clock tomorrow night. At that time, you will see your uncle and auntie who have been reborn."


    His lifespan was extended by 30 years and he was 70 years younger.


    They would go from old age to middle-aged age. Although it was not a return to youth, it had reversed thews of nature.


    "Good!"


    Wu Mo was delighted.

 Chapter 450 New Research Project

    Following the principle of avoidance and suspicion, Wu Mo returned to his dormitory temporarily instead of going to the injection room to visit his parents.


    After he told Shen Qingya that he was safe and washing up, Wu Moy in bed and thought about his future work.


    "We''ve yed and done what we wanted.


    "Now, it''s time to n the route for my future work.


    "The old chief gave me a lot of autonomy.


    "Strengthening serum, gic modification, and area strengthening equipment... I need to choose between these three."


    Wu Mo pondered.


    "The strategic value of these three directions is almost the same.


    "The strengthening serum can directly increase thebat strength of soldiers. It has a wide range of applications and a significantsting effect.


    "The manufacturing cost is rtively low. The highest is no more than 10 million, and the lowest is no less than a million."


    Wu Mo then analyzed the second development route.


    "Next is gic modification. The potential in this direction is extremely great, and the maximum cost of the strengthening serum is only 10 million points. However, gic modification could achieve group strengthening."


    Although it was expensive, it was the highest grade of the strengthening serum.


    Just like how a top-notch bow and arrow could not bepared to an ordinary rifle, there would always be an upper limit.


    "Many of the minor systems in the human body can be adjusted.


    "Imagine a special group of people. The brightness of their phones is the highest in the dark, but the light cannot stimte their vision. Eating and drinking every day wouldn''t make them fat, but a little exercise would strengthen his muscles."


    These conditions were excellent, but they were also determined by genes and were within the range of easy change.


    "There''s a gene editor in the system store, but the cheapest one requires 100 million points."


    Wu Mo was deeply influenced by a manga called Dragon Valley.


    There was a gene editor in the manga that could create creatures such as giant soldiers and giant insects.


    Such a gene editor would give him a high degree of freedom, and he could create super weapons like colossi.


    If Wu Mo were to devote himself to this, he could only rely on the system. Since his current points had been exhausted, he could only obtain them through missions.


    The prerequisite technology provided by the system was not that powerful. It was more based on practical considerations.


    eaglesnov?1,§ão§® Therefore, even if there was a gic modification direction, he could only develop it along a specific path.


    "The cost-performance ratio for gic modification is too low.


    "Furthemore, the upper limit of gic modification far exceeds the strengthening serum or area-of-effect strengthening. The branches of the technology tree are moreplicated, so I''m not sure which one the system will provide."


    The strengthening serum might give him an ability simr to Captain America''s.


    As for gic modification, Wu Mo was unable to confirm it.


    "In conclusion, I''ll still focus on physique strengthening!


    "A physique strengthening device...


    "For example, the Gic Mutation Tower in the game can also be called a gic controller.


    "But I will never let myrades be orcs."


    The biggest drawback of the Gic Mutation Tower was that it could turn humans into orcs and erase their consciousness. This would them into battle machines that only listened to orders.


    Was there any meaning to that?


    China did not need such biological weapons.


    It needed soldiers who could analyze the environment on the battlefield and have a higher degree of freedom in local battles, not brainless giants like those in games orics.


    Orcs were not suitable for modern battlefields, and it was not in line with China''s style.


    Electromaic rifles were being equipped in various countries. No matter how thick an orc''s skin was, it could not withstand the destructive power of an electromaic bullet.


    "The biggest effect of strengthening one''s physique is allowing soldiers to better integrate into machines.


    "The stronger the physique and the faster the reaction, the more powerful the power armor and new weapon will be."


    The most striking feature of this route was its wide coverage.


    If a group of rabbits and a group of eagles were at each other''s throats on a battlefield, war would be inevitable.


    However, at this moment, a piece of equipment appeared before him.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    This was the area-of-effect physique strengthening device. After activating it, the eagles discovered that the rabbits had be much more muscr. Theirbat power had increased greatly, and their control over their equipment had doubled.


    Then, a one-sided suppression began.


    "Therefore, the biggest benefit of physical strengthening is to train soldiers at the level of Captain America or top athletes in batches.


    "It can change many things on the battlefield.


    "Therefore, this is of utmost importance.


    "The difficulty is not low, but military manufacturing is my forte. Therefore, I choose this one now!"


    Wu Mo decided to devote himself to the research of the area-of-effect physique strengthening device.


    After making up his mind, Wu Mo wanted to report to the old chief and ask for his approval. Then, he would personally promote the project so that it could be established quickly.


    After all, the old chief had a prominent position. With his order, any project would be given the green light.


    Wu Mo activated his internalmunicator and quickly dialed the old chief''s number.


    Today was different from usual. The old general answered the phone very quickly.


    "Little Wu, what do you want to tell me now? Or had he decided on the direction of the new project?"


    The old chief was as capable as ever. He went straight to the point and skipped the opening formalities.


    "Chief, I''ve confirmed the research direction of the new project and am nning to report it to you. By the way, please help me contact therades in the Equipment Department and establish the project as soon as possible!"


    The old chief on the other end of the phone hummed in acknowledgment.


    "I''ll definitely help you say hello, but I''m very curious. Which direction have you chosen?"


    Wu Mo told the old chief without reservation that he had decided to choose the area-of-effect physique strengthening device.


    "Although this direction is not as powerful as the strengthening serum and gic modification, it is very practical for the current stage.


    "Afterpleting this route, we can try other directions."


    Wu Mo naturally agreed.


    "Then I won''t say much. I have to prepare to receive the Life First injection."


    "Have a safe journey, Chief!"


    "I wish you all the best!" the old chief replied.


    ...


    Wu Mo was waiting in the Institute of Special Biology.


    ording to the old chief''s efficiency, the relevant documents could be delivered within two hours.


    After all, Wu Mo was one of the top researchers in China.


    Whether it was on the surface or in reality, wasting a second would bring about a huge loss.


    The system''s judgment was very simple. As long as the old chief and the higher-ups confirmed that Wu Mo was the project leader, the system could choose to load it.


    There was no need to worry too much about the relevant documents.


    Even if the mission was changed midway, as long as the system did notplete the loading, the mission could not end.


    Wu Mo immediately activated the system.


    Before activating the system, he was filled with emotions.


    Every time this happened, Wu Mo would feel emotional.


    "I grew from an ordinary cksmith to a top-notch scientist and obtained multiple first-ss merit points. Now, I''m an authority figure in the field of life sciences.


    "All of this is thanks to my own hard work and talent!


    "System, load!" Wu Mo said firmly."


    [The research and development of the Human Life Potion has officially begun!]


    "System store¡­ activate!"


    [Group Elite Enhanceable Device Research - Initial activation points: 20 million points!


    [Activating AOE Enhancement Device. Requires the development of Human Life Potion and Gene Enhancement Potion!]


    After Wu Mo finished reading it, his heart could not help but tremble.

 Chapter 451 Parents After Their Youth

    Was the system acting up again?


    Why did it cost 20 million points?


    Then, he remembered that this was a group strengthening device, so he was relieved.


    There were many research directions for the AOE Enhancement Device, and the first problem that Wu Mo had to solve was the Human Life Potion.


    To be specific, the research and development of the Human Life Potion required five million points.


    These points could be distributed gradually, and there was no need to invest them all at once.


    The progress bar on the system''s production page quickly expanded. Wu Mo estimated that in about two days and two nights, these human life potions would gradually appear!


    When the Human Life Potion was produced, the old chief would definitely arrange suitable test subjects in advance.


    After all, the Human Life Potion needed to adjust the gic program to a certain extent. This was not child''s y!


    In the field of biological research, even a small change could have a huge impact.


    A few hundred years ago, some people tried cloning technology, but they were forced to stop.


    This was because it involved many aspects, such as biotechnology, ethics, social morality, and so on.


    The old chief had also gone to receive Life First, so he would not see Wu Mo for the next few days.


    The system was gradually on the right track. After the development of the Human Life Potion waspleted, the follow-up research and development would begin.


    At this moment, Wu Mo was most concerned about his parents'' condition.


    ording to what Xu Wanqing had said before, Wu Mo would be able to see the initial results the next night. He was filled with anticipation.


    His parents were already old. If he could extend their lives by 30 years and make them younger by 10 years, how wonderful would that be!


    In fact, if he could achieve immortality, Wu Mo would be endlessly grateful to the heavens and the system for its gift.


    The next day, Wu Mo arrived at the Institute of Special Biology in excitement.


    "How''s the situation?"


    Wu Mo asked when he saw how busy Xu Wanqing and the other researchers were.


    "We''ve already transferred them to the nourishment cabin," Fu Hongxi said with a smile. "We can start the next step soon. You''ll be able to see Uncle and Auntie very soon."


    Wu Mo nodded.


    "You''re wee, Chief Engineer Wu. This is what we should do."


    In less than two hours, the nourishment cabin slowly opened.


    Life First was stored in a freezer. After injecting it into a human body, the test subject must be ced in the nourishment cabin within 72 hours.


    Due to this period of fasting, the body may have a natural resistance, which is the so-called abnormal phenomenon.


    In this case, it could lead to many unexpected situations that the researchers did not foresee, so the nourishment cabin could avoid these problems.


    As expected, Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu slowly opened their eyes and sat up.


    Their appearances had already undergone earth-shattering changes!


    Through the tempered ss door, Wu Mo witnessed this scene and was moved to tears.


    These were his parents from many years ago!


    Yes, at this moment, Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu were full of youth.


    They looked at each other through the nutrition cabin and were stunned.


    A few secondster, they could not help butugh.


    "Honey, you''re so beautiful now!" Mr. Wu praised endlessly.


    "Old man, you''re quite handsome too! Back then, you were also a young hunk, haha!"


    Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu''s experiment was a great sess. Not only did they extend their lives by 30 years, but they also became younger by more than 10 years.


    The change in his appearance was obvious. His life aura had be even thicker!


    Seeing this scene, Wu Mo was extremely gratified.


    Life First could be promoted on arge scale in the future, but the current research still needed to be cautious.


    After all, there were only a few samples at the moment. When the adaptation range was expanded to an eptable error rate, they could start arge-scale implementation.


    ...


    Two dayster, the old chief was also injected with Life First, and he entered the observation stage.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Wu Mo checked the progress and found that the Human Life Potion had been sessfully developed.


    The potion in the test tube was light green in color, and there were transparent ripples inside.


    However, these potions had the effect of greatly extending one''s lifespan!


    This was different from Life First. It was more targeted and was only created to extend one''s lifespan.


    After the Human Life Potion, they would develop the Gene Enhancement Potion!


    The appearance of these two potions paved the way for the future.


    The AOE strengthening device cost 20 million points in the system store. Would it not be great to reduce the cost through the production of potions?


    The Human Life Potion had been invented. After Wu Momunicated with the old chief, he analyzed theposition of the drug together with the members of the project research team.


    eaglesnov?1,§ão§® "Heavens, this is a miracle!"


    The medicine could greatly extend one''s lifespan without any side effects.


    Under the microscope, it could be seen that the drug wasposed of the most pure natural life elements.


    A persistent biotechnology researcher was moved to tears.


    He had studied this field for decades, but he had never been able to solve the mystery of prolonging life!


    This was not only the voice of China, but also the voice of the entire world.


    Since ancient times, it has been a good thing for emperors to seek eternal life and increase their lifespan by 100 or 200 years.


    And now, this desire was about to be realized?


    A group of excited researchers prepared to inject the human life serum into the heroic young man from the special forces.


    This was amon practice. Whenever a new drug was introduced, there would always be volunteers with excellent physical fitness who would try it themselves.


    If there were any idents, they could be salvaged in time.


    After injecting the Human Life Potion, the volunteers walked into the research module.


    They needed to observe for a period of time to check if there were any adverse reactions.


    ''As expected, strengthening serum and gic modification are not as good as directly developing an area-of-effect strengthening device. Although the effect was weaker than the previous two, it was the most cost-effective!'' Wu Mo thought to himself.


    A few dayster, good news came. The volunteers did not have any rejection side effects, which meant that the Human Life Potion was sessful!


    Wu Mo immediately entered the research institute and issued the second order.


    "Prepare to mass produce the gene strengthening drug!"


    This step was extremely important. If he seeded, the Chinese soldiers would have stronger physiques.


    The control of high-end weapons and the analysis of the battlefield would be more urate!


    At that time, the overall standard of the Chinese soldiers would be greatly improved, and their individualbat strength would be unprecedented. Many great soldiers would emerge!


    Many soldiers in the army formed a special team.


    In other words, they had the potential to change the structure of the era. Who could predict where they would go in the future?


    The research and development of the gene serum elerated. Phantom Wolf took the initiative toe to the Institute of Special Biology and requested to try the first dose of the gene serum.


    "Oh, don''t you have a girlfriend? Why didn''t you go shopping and eat with her?" Wu Mo asked with a smile.


    It was clear what he meant. Phantom Wolf had apanion now.


    He had a girlfriend and needed to think about her.


    Phantom Wolf smiled. "Don''t worry, Chief Wu. She''s very sensible. Besides, do you think I don''t trust your research?"


    He was absolutely right!


    Wu Mo smiled bitterly. What was wrong with him? Why was he doubting his own results?


    However, since Phantom Wolf was one of them, it was understandable that he was worried.


    Phantom Wolf had a strong physique. After being injected with the gene strengthening drug, he jumped on the spot and experienced the changes in his body.


    "It doesn''t seem to have changed!" Phantom Wolf frowned.


    "Don''t make a conclusion too early," Researcher Xu Wanqing said.


    Thus, Phantom Wolf entered theboratory for observation, just like the soldiers who had received the Human Life Potion.

 Chapter 452 Suspected Alien Life

    Three days passed, and there was a muffled sound in theboratory!


    "Look, what''s wrong?"


    The researchers were uneasy.


    Xu Wanqing immediately turned on the surveince equipment to check the situation in theboratory!


    You Lang suddenly jumped up from the bed. He used too much force and his head hit the ceiling!


    e¦Áglesn?¦Íel "Oh, my God, how did he jump?" Xu Wanqing eximed.


    The researchers came one after another. When they saw this scene, they were all shocked!


    Wu Mo, who had rushed over after hearing the news, was overjoyed.


    On the screen, the results of the gene strengthening drug exceeded expectations.


    At this moment, Phantom Wolf stretched his bodyzily and lightly used force to fly several meters into the air.


    Even the world''s top basketball stars would not be able to match such amazing jumping ability in the sports arena!


    This was only one aspect. It only changed his jumping ability!


    Phantom Wolf''s explosive power, endurance, and adaptability might have already exceeded the limits.


    Phantom Wolf walked out of theboratory with a dumbfounded expression. The red and swollen bump on his forehead was particrly eye-catching.


    "How is it? How do you feel now?" Wu Mo asked impatiently.


    "I just had a dream, and my jumping ability miraculously increased!"


    Phantom Wolf rubbed his head, his eyes filled with confusion.


    He had yet to adapt to the changes in his body. He even had the illusion that this body was not his and lost control for a moment.


    "Come, let''s do aprehensive body examination first!"


    Wu Mo immediately arranged for Phantom Wolf to test it.


    This set of advanced equipment could divide Phantom Wolf''s body into many mini programs for detailed analysis.


    Various data were presented, allowing Wu Mo and the researchers to analyze the sess rate of the gene strengthening drug on the body.


    Wu Mo predicted that the absorption rate of the gene strengthening drug would vary from person to person.


    Phantom Wolf was the first experimental subject, and his body data was of great value.


    The data on Phantom Wolf''s body became the key reference to determine the adaptability and poprity of the gene strengthening drug.


    Beep beep beep...


    The machine was operating noisily. Phantom Wolf was tightly bound with dense electrical resistance tape and many test tubes.


    After a short hour, data was disyed on the screen.


    The researcher frowned and carefully analyzed the data.


    Finally, Wu Mo caught a glimpse of these exciting results.


    " Sess, it really seeded! "


    The researchers were so excited that tears were glistening in their eyes when they saw the data.


    Phantom Wolf''s explosive strength, which was the extent of his muscles'' explosive strength, increased by 55%!


    His patience had reached an unprecedented 220%!


    The reaction speed of the ultimate mind was also faster than before by 0.6 seconds!


    Every single piece of data undoubtedly proved the great sess of the gene strengthening drug.


    "Chief Engineer Wu! The drug was a sess, and the data was even better than we expected!" Xu Wanqing told Wu Mo excitedly.


    Wu Mo nodded. The changes in Phantom Wolf''s body made him feel gratified.


    His muscle burst had increased by 65%. It was unbelievable!


    In other words, Phantom Wolf was able to aplish many things that he had never dared to imagine before.


    Although the maximum brain reaction speed was only increased by 0.8 seconds, it was still the maximum reaction speed!


    An ordinary person''s reaction time was limited to an instant. What did an increase of 0.6 seconds mean?


    Perhaps if a bullet were to fly toward you, you would be able to dodge it instantly!


    This terrifying ability was like a miracle in science fiction movies!


    Phantom Wolf was overjoyed at his transformation and left Institute of Special Biology in satisfaction.


    Wu Mo returned to the dormitory and restarted the system.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    When the two potions were invented, the AOE Enhancement Device had sessfully obtained a credit deduction. Now, it still needed about eight million points.


    However, these points were not a problem for Wu Mo.


    The AOE strengthening device was quickly activated, but the process was not as fast as expected.


    After all, it was a batch strengthening device. Once it was sessfully developed, it would benefit many people. It was no small matter!


    During this time, a small incident happened. The old chief walked out of the research institute.


    His entire body was filled with energy. Not only did his lifespan extend, but he also became extremely young.


    The old chief had returned to his appearance more than 10 years ago, which surprised everyone!


    "Oh, my God, Old Chief, not only have you be younger by more than 10 years, you even feel like you''re more than 20 to 30 years old, right?"


    It was true that Wu Mo was like a 20-year-old university student after he was over ten years younger.


    As for Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu, they had returned to middle-age from old age, but they were not as shocking as the old chief.


    The old chief turned from a white-haired old man to a young man who was full of energy.


    Such vigor and vitality made everyone sigh endlessly.


    Some people even whispered that the old chief was patrolling the various departments, and many of the people in charge might not recognize him!


    Helplessly, the old chief''s change was too shocking.


    When he realized it, he shook his head and sighed.


    "Sigh, as expected. The most tiring thing is these 10 years. So I was like that 10 years ago."


    These words were mixed with emotion, joy, and a sense of seeing through the mortal world.


    "Wu Mo, how''s the progress of your AOE strengthening device?"


    The old chief called Wu Mo over.


    Wu Mo thought for a moment and replied, "It''s still in the research stage. It''ll probably take a few days for preliminary experiments."


    "Yes, there''s no hurry! This project is a long-term n."


    Wu Mo nodded.


    This kind of project could not pursue speed and progress.


    "After you develop that AOE strengthening device, I will select a group of people to receive the device''s strengthening.


    "Otherwise, you might consider using the two methods of serum enhancement and gic modification."


    The old chief''s tone was calm, and he sounded extremely important.


    He had always been steady and knew that he could not put all his eggs in one basket.


    Wu Mo, on the other hand, was full of confidence. He firmly believed that all three paths could be taken, and that the AOE strengthening device would not fail!


    It was just that currently, the strengthening serum could be used on Phantom Wolf and the others, but the high upper limit of gic modification was not worth it.


    Just as Wu Mo had thought, electromaic weapons were nowmonce in every country.


    No matter how strong one''s body was, it was still made of flesh and blood. How could one withstand the attack of an electromaic gun or cannon?


    At this moment, the old general received a private message.


    Not long after, the old chief returned. He frowned and said, "Wu Mo, something''s happened!"


    "Oh? What happened, Old Chief?"


    "In the southeast sea, 36 degrees northtitude, unknowntitude, a fishing boat was suddenly hit by a storm and several ships were wrecked."


    Wu Mo shook his head. A storm on a fishing boat at sea was unavoidable. It was truly a tragedy.


    He mourned for the fishermen. They had no hope of surviving the storm at sea.


    Wu Mo guessed that the old chief had received news from the maritime search and rescue team.


    However, what the old chief said next shocked Wu Mo!


    "Wu Mo, this is supposed to be a secret, but your level is high enough to know the inside story."


    The old chief sighed. Then, his young eyes sparkled.


    "In that sea area, the search and rescue team found some strange things¡­The golden scales were as big as a human palm and three centimeters thick. They were as hard as steel and indestructible! There was also the bright red blood 20 meters below the surface of the sea. After sample analysis, it was not the blood of any known species on Earth!"


    After saying this, the old chief''s eyes revealed traces of anticipation as he quietly sized up Wu Mo''s reaction.


    Meanwhile, Wu Mo''s heart was already surging like a stormy sea.

 Chapter 453 AOE Strengthening Device

    "Old Chief, do you mean that some unknown creature might have appeared in that sea area?"


    Unknown creatures were bred in the deep sea, amidst the raging storms!


    If this news were to spread out, would it not cause an earthquake?


    Nowadays, the people flocked to these kinds of surprises, especially those rted to the mysterious sea and the tragedy at sea.


    Many clues connected and reminded everyone of the alien races on the continent.


    At the same time, a bold guess shed through Wu Mo''s mind.


    Combining the data given by the system, he deduced that the alien races on Earth had human genes.


    It was a bold assumption that the aliens were people or animals that had undergone extreme modification and were infected with something simr to the zombie virus.


    The strange creature at 36¡ã N was most likely an alien.


    It could even be a creature that an alien civilization had ced on Earth.


    "Wu Mo, although this world has be strange, the current level of technology can give birth to many mysterious powers. When did we ever imagine that there was something in the world that could extend one''s lifespan?"


    The old chief''s tone was pained, and his words contained a deeper meaning.


    Wu Mo nodded and listened carefully as the old chief continued.


    The old chief suddenly patted Wu Mo''s shoulder and smiled. "We''re just having a casual chat. Continue your research."


    The subject came to an abrupt end, which surprised Wu Mo.


    He knew that the old chief might not have told him all the information.


    What kind of thing was hidden in the southeast sea area around the 36th degree northtitude that could cause the old chief to hear about the fishing boat ident?


    It was rare for such a matter to be reported to the old chief.


    As such, Wu Mo was even more convinced that this matter was definitely more serious than he had imagined!


    However, at this moment, he had to focus all his attention on the research of the AOE strengthening device.


    This process was graduallying to an end, and it was estimated that the next stage of the experiment would begin in less than two days.


    Early in the morning, the group of outstanding soldiers assigned by the old chief was already ready to go.


    This bubble enhancement device was installed in the Institute of Special Biology, and Wu Mo personally led the operation.


    The device looked like a huge half-moon-shaped reinforced ss cabin. The inside was covered by many ck films, making it difficult to see the specific structure.


    These soldiers were all elites of the army and had received many medals.


    At this moment, their emotions were surging. After learning the inside story, they knew that today was very likely to change the fate of themselves and the entire Chinese people.


    The experiment began, and everyone entered the strengthening device.


    In the end, the surface of the half-moon-shaped ss cabin was covered with fine blue electric currents. The researchers were nervous and had to control the voltage urately.


    If the voltage was too high, it would definitely cause physiological damage to these outstanding soldiers!


    The whole process was tense, and everyone stared intently, afraid to miss any details.


    If there was a sudden change in the data, it had to be stopped immediately. This was both a respect for the experiment and a basic guarantee for the warrior.


    Time passed quietly, and Wu Mo could not help but feel uneasy.


    After all, the strengthening device this time covered all-round area strengthening. Compared to the previous gene strengthening in Phantom Wolf, this method was more thorough and direct!


    Finally, the results were revealed. Although these soldiers were unconscious, their stats were normal, and their bodily functions were steadily improving.


    "The strengthening is a sess, Chief Engineer Wu. However, we still need to observe for another 24 hours."


    Xu Wanqing was quite excited. When the project started, all the researchers were busy. They put aside their work and cooperated with Wu Mo.


    From the moment the project wasunched, everyone knew that they had to ovee many difficulties in order to maje a breakthrough!


    Now that the preliminary experiment of the AOE strengthening device had been sessful, everyone was excited.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Yes, pay close attention to their physiological indicators. When the time is right, we will conduct aprehensive test and hope to obtain the desired results."


    Wu Mo nodded. Feeling hungry, he went to the canteen to replenish his strength.


    The temptation of delicious food was often hard for Wu Mo to resist. He casually tasted some delicacies and immediately heard the conversation of the researchers beside him.


    Wu Mo listened attentively and realized that the conversation involved the southeast coast.


    He immediately listened attentively, but these researchers only knew the surface and could not get more from the short information.


    After the meal, Wu Mo once again visited the Institute of Special Biology. The soldiers woke up one after another!


    "How do you feel?" Wu Mo asked.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, I feel a sharp pain in my head. It''s as if there''s a thread inserted into my brain, and it keeps twitching!"


    "Oh, this might be a characteristic of the initial strengthening. Go back and rest. Remember not to carry out missions during this period of time."


    "Alright, Chief Engineer Wu!"


    e¦Áglesn?¦Íel Wu Mo''s words and orders were naturally obeyed by these warriors.


    Wu Mo was not only a technical leader, but he was also respected by everyone because he had won many medals.


    After these soldiers returned ording to Wu Mo''s instructions, they were surprised to find out!


    "Oh, my God, this... What''s going on? My fist strength test shows that my punch actually has 300 kilograms of force!"


    A young warrior was so excited that his face turned red. He could not believe it and waved his fists.


    He delivered one punch after another, and the same number appeared clearly in each test. Only then did he finally ept the truth.


    "Haha, the strengthening device is a sess! My body has entered the strengthening stage. What will be of it in the end?"


    Looking at the numbers before them, the others were extremely envious of his fist strength.


    One should know that the world''s top heavyweight boxers only had a few hundred pounds of strength in one punch!


    In other words, this young warrior''s astonishing fist strength had already reached the limit of what humans could withstand.


    However, this limit was still far from the end.


    The research team found that in the experimental data they observed, every data showed signs of strengthening.


    Now, people could almost certainly announce that this kind of area-of-effect strengthening device had achieved initial sess!


    When the news reached the old chief''s ears, he felt very gratified.


    He pondered for a moment and called Wu Mo over.


    "Wu Mo, now that the closed beta has been sessful, where do you n to deploy this device next?"


    It was the prototype of an area-of-effect strengthening device.


    It was these half-moon-shaped transparent ss windows that would cover arge area in the form of sma radiation.


    Plus, the choice of deployment location was particrly crucial.


    Wu Mo thought for a moment and slowly said, "Old Chief, do you have any suggestions?"


    The old chief coughed lightly and suggested, "How about we put it in the southeast coastal military region? We could choose a regiment headquarters there. With the coverage of the area enhancement device, the regiment headquarters should be the most suitable!"


    "Oh, the southeast coast?"


    Wu Mo was shocked. Why was it the southeast coast again?


    There was also the mysterious 36 degrees northtitude. Everything seemed to point to an inexplicable vortex.


    What was hidden behind all this?


    The glittering golden scales, the mysterious blood of unknown creatures, the strange shipwreck, and the storm at sea. Was the old chief hiding something from him?

 Chapter 454 Life Seconds Anticipated Effect

    Wu Mo had never doubted the old chief''s trust in him.


    However, if even someone like him chose to carefully hide some things, it would be enough prove that the information contained shocking data!


    The first set of AOE strengthening devices was safely transported to the southeast coast.


    The old chief personally oversaw this process and gave it the highest level of confidentiality.


    At this time, Wu Mo knew that the AOE strengthening device was not fully developed yet. It was only a preliminary prototype.


    The sess of the first phase was gratifying. It indicated that this technology would gradually be popr and cause earth-shaking changes!


    The AOE strengthening device was a benefit that could continuously bring in system points.


    The military system performed well in this aspect. In the process of receiving points, he could also continuously obtain returns.


    With this calction, Wu Mo knew that in a short month, his n would start to show its effects.


    And now, Wu Mo was nning his second research project!


    When he opened the store, a product was disyed before him: Longevity Potion No. 2.


    That''s right. As the upgraded version of Longevity Potion No. 1, Longevity Potion No. 2 directly increased one''s lifespan by an astonishing 60 years!


    This meant that he would have an extra 60 years, something that many people dreamed of but dared not think about.


    Moreover, it could make a person younger by 30 years.


    Of course, there was also a limitation. For example, when the target was only 30 years old, it was obviously impossible to transform into a baby.


    To achieve the effect of being 30 years younger, one condition had to be met, which was that the person''s age had to be more than twice his real age.


    In other words, one had to be at least 60 years old to see the obvious effect. Otherwise, it would not be triggered.


    Longevity Potion No. 2 was indeed excellent, but there were no conditions to develop it yet. Wu Mo quickly made his own judgment.


    For one, the system points required for Longevity Potion No. 2 were too high.


    Two, Longevity Potion No. 1 had not been poprized yet.


    Under such circumstances, it was a bit risky to rashly start the development of Longevity Potion No. 2, and it also required a certain amount of risk.


    When Longevity Potion No. 1 waspletely poprized, his points would continue to increase.


    At that time, the development of Longevity Potion No. 2 would be a matter of course!


    However, this did not affect Wu Mo''s n at all.


    This AOE strengthening device was actually his first preparation.


    Serum strengthening and gic modification were the same.


    Under the premise of changing the physique of Chinese soldiers on arge scale, it would also pave the way for the miraculous Life Second.


    Although Wu Mo did not n tounch Life Second immediately, he still informed the old chief of the grand n.


    After learning of this news, the old chief was quite surprised as well!


    "Oh, Life Second can actually increase one''s lifespan by 60 years? It''s too magical!"


    Even the old chief''s calm state of mind was stirred up. One could imagine how much impact this upgraded version of Life Second had on him.


    "But Wu Mo, although I''m not very proficient in biological research, I''m not very good at it."


    "But isn''t it a little too exaggerated to add 60 years to one''s lifespan and be 30 years younger? Would there be unbearable side effects?"


    Wu Mo shook his head. "Don''t worry, Chief. I''ve already considered your concerns. It''s indeed not the right time to start developing Life Second. I''ll remind you during the most appropriate time."<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Alright, Wu Mo, I''ll leave these matters to you. If you need any help, please let me know!"


    The old chief would undoubtedly support Wu Mo in this aspect.


    He could imagine that when the Life Second was truly released, it would set off a huge revolutionary storm.


    e¦Áglesn?¦Íel At that time, everyone''s vitality would undergo a world-shaking change.


    More importantly, when the lifespan of the Chinese people increased by 60 years, what would the people of other countries think?


    At that time, should China reveal these magical longevity potions and share them with everyone?


    Human nature was selfish. When people could extend their lifespan, they naturally wanted to be ahead of others. They did not want to see everyone enjoy the same longevity.


    This involved the ugly side of human nature, social ethics, and many other aspects. It was not something that could be exined in just one or two sentences.


    When Wu Mo returned to the dormitory, his parents called him and invited him over for dinner.


    Now, Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu also had a warm residence near the base. This was the home that Wu Mo had carefully arranged for them.


    As soon as he stepped into the house, Wu Mo immediately smelled the mouthwatering fragrance of meat!


    "Wow, it smells so good! Mom, what kind of delicious food did you make?"


    Wu Mo felt as if he had tasted it before. This dish had seemingly left a beautiful memory in his childhood.


    "You actually forgot about your favorite traditional steamed pork bun?"


    "Oh, the traditional pork bun!"


    The dish instantly brought Wu Mo back to his distant childhood.


    Back then, he was especially fond of meat. Every time he tasted the traditional steamed pork bun, he would pour the gravy inside the bun on his rice.


    However, ever since he entered the Research Department, he had gradually bade farewell to a life of fish and meat.


    This was especially true for traditional dishes with high sugar content, such as steamed pork buns.


    After he enjoyed the sumptuous dinner, Wu Mo could not help but sigh. Even the food in the most luxurious restaurant in Shanghai could notpare to his parents'' cooking!


    The taste of his parents'' cooking was the taste of his childhood. It was an unforgettable taste.


    "Dad, Mom, I''m still not used to seeing you like this!" Wu Mo teased.


    "Sigh, Son, don''t say that! Being an old couple, we''re not used to it too. We keep feeling much younger than before. It''s really strange!"


    Mrs. Wu could not help but sigh.


    "It''s okay, Mom. You''ll get used to it, hehe!" Wu Mo said with a smile.


    Now, Life First was being used on a wider range of people. Aside from Mr. Wu, Mrs. Wu, the old chief, and Wu Mo himself, the number of people who benefited from it was gradually increasing.


    Wu Mo finally realized that all his ns had finallye to fruition.


    The AOE strengthening device was then installed in a warrior training camp on the southeast coast, which was surrounded by a towering wall.


    The group of warriors raised their heads with solemn expressions.


    They looked at the huge device in the air with admiration!


    This device had a 360-degree automatic coverage. In other words, as long as one was in this training camp, they would be protected by this device at all times.


    "I heard that this is an AOE strengthening device that Chief Engineer Wu carefully researched. It can continuously strengthen our physique and change our body functions!" awarrior said thoughtfully.

 Chapter 455 Sea Monster

    All the soldiers looked at the device with anticipation!


    Such magical equipment was like a fantasy story. Once they were truly transformed, they would have many unimaginable abilities.


    This was a path that no one could predict where the other shore would be after they walked out of it!


    ...


    At this moment, no one knew that at midnight at 36 degrees northtitude in the southeast sea, at an unknowntitude.


    There was a huge fishing boat with a draft of dozens of tons, swaying on the turbulent sea.


    This sea area was filled with all kinds of unknown mysterious factors.


    This fishing boat was filled with the spirit of an adventurer. The captain wore a thick sailor''s windbreaker and had a huge pipe in his mouth.


    His eyes were hidden under the hat, but they were like eagle eyes that chased the wind, constantly scanning the dark sea.


    "Captain, I heard that there was a shipwreck in this area not long ago. Should we choose to take a detour to be safer?"


    The first mate walked over worriedly.


    A group of sailors had already boarded the deck and leaned against the railing.


    Looking at the mysterious sea that was gradually approaching, he recalled the strange events reported in the news.


    Each of their hearts felt heavy.


    The captain finally opened his mouth and walked toward the cabin. "Continue forward. If you encounter a storm, you can deviate temporarily."


    "Yes, Captain."


    Hearing the persistent captain say this, how could the crew refute?


    As the huge ship gradually approached the legendary shipwreck, the storm finally began to gather.


    When the storm gradually formed, it was impossible to retreat!


    "Captain, this is bad! We''ve lost control of the ship!"


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    At this moment, the surging waves hit the ship''s side, and a shocking sound came from the thick wooden nks. It was like the approaching footsteps of the Grim Reaper, and it made their hearts beat faster.


    The captain was a little regretful at this moment. He took off his huge hat and revealed his elegant hair. When he came to the deck, the scene before him was as terrifying as the end of the world.


    Dark clouds blotted out the sky, and huge waves hit the deck. All kinds of shallow sea fish jumped onto the ship with the waves.


    It was as if the sea was invading, ready to swallow their ship and everyone on it.


    "Captain, we have no choice but to escape by lifeboat!" The first mate gritted his teeth and said.


    Such a scene was rare in their professional career, and it was already a blessing in disguise that they were able to escape.


    This ship was beyond redemption!


    "Activate the escape capsule immediately and prepare the life raft!"


    The captain issued his final order.


    "Hmm, what''s that?"


    Suddenly, the first mate noticed that about ten nautical miles away, a ck creature, like a giant snake at the bottom of the sea, suddenly jumped out of the sea and glided over at an extremely fast speed with the help of the sea breeze!


    Whoa!


    When it was close enough, everyone finally saw it clearly. Under the hazy moonlight, a ck tentacle suddenly shot out of the sea.


    It was covered in scarlet suckers that had terrifying suction force, and they instantly clung to the huge ship.


    Kacha!


    The tentacle exerted a little force, and the powerful suction cup released a huge gap in the ship.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Just as everyone was panicking, huge tentacles broke out of the water one after another and quickly approached the ship!


    "What the hell? Have we encountered a giant octopus?"


    At this moment, the first mate was fully focused onmanding the activation of the escape capsule. Facing this soul-stirring scene, he stood rooted to the ground, not knowing how to respond.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "That''s not right. We haven''t entered the deep sea area yet. How could we encounter such a huge underwater octopus?"


    The captain also felt that something was wrong.


    In the past century, people all over the world had reported the discovery of giant octopuses.


    However, the giant octopus waster named by the academicmunity as the Giant Sable Squid. Its body length could reach dozens of meters, and it was the natural enemy of sperm whales.


    However, even so, it was still a creature in nature, just that it wasrger.


    At this moment, their ship was carrying dozens of tons of weight. It was impossible for a Giant Sable Squid to control the shippletely.


    Furthermore, there were about 30 to 40 huge tentacles in this dark storm!


    In that case, had several Giant Sable Squids appeared at the same time?


    "Impossible. The Giant Sable Squid lives alone, simr to tigers onnd. They''re extremely territorial, and they can''t move out at the same time."


    At this moment, the captain was holding a pair of binocrs and looking into the distance. His face was as pale as paper again!


    "What''s that?" He was so scared that he muttered to himself with a soulless expression.


    Above the sea, a golden object suddenly reflected the moonlight and instantly emitted a dazzling golden light. It blocked the searchlights in the distance.


    Above the terrifying storm, a golden giant slowly surfaced.


    Its cold and emotionless eyes were like monsters from another world. They emanated an endless murderous aura.


    Its body was still hidden under the sea, and only half of its body was revealed, which caused the entire sea to instantly be chaotic.


    "Unbelievable! What was going on?"


    All the crew members could not help but feel a strong sense of fear.


    The huge vortex swallowed everything around it. It was a terrifying scene.


    The people on the ship were so frightened that they forgot to escape. They rubbed their eyes desperately in hopes that the scene before them was just an illusion.


    There was the mysterious Giant Sable Squid, and a terrifying golden monster. What exactly was this?


    e¦Áglesnovel`c,om "Run! Run!"


    Faced with the threat of this unknown creature, the captain finally reacted and boarded the lifeboat.


    Rumble...


    At this moment, a tentacle exerted force and destroyed the ship instantly. Itpletely copsed.


    However, right then, the golden monster had already swam up to the squid. It opened its mysterious inverted triangr mouth and bit the tentacles.


    Gu gu gu¡­


    The two unknown creatures began an intense battle on the surface of the sea.


    A few hourster, an order was issued.


    Wu Mo, as the winner of the highest medal and the number one person in China''s life science research, received the notice as well.


    He immediately ended the matter at hand and went to the highest conference room to participate in the temporary meeting.


    He walked into the meeting room and found that the old chief and the highest-ranking person-in-charge of each department were already sitting there.


    "Unbelievable! What was going on?"


    Wu Mo could not help but marvel at the solemn atmosphere in the meeting room.


    He pulled out a chair and sat down as he stared intently at the image disyed on the projector.


    The sea breeze howled, and the waves surged into the sky. The swaying ships and wooden nks were swept up into the sky in the storm. This was a shocking scene.


    In the dark sky, there was only a crescent moon. It was as if a heavenly dog was devouring the sun, and it caused everyone''s hearts to sink.


    Wu Mo looked around and found that the other officers were staring at the screen with surprise.


    "What is this?"


    Suddenly, everyone''s attention was drawn to the image on the screen.

 Chapter 456 The Deep Sea Eye

    There, an unimaginably huge tentacle was waving wildly behind the huge ship like a crazy whip. It was the main culprit behind the ship''s destruction.


    e¦Áglesn?¦Íel The old chief adjusted his posture and rested his chin on one hand as he stared ahead expressionlessly.


    He had already witnessed this scene with his own eyes. Now, he just wanted everyone toe over and take a look and voice their opinions.


    Wu Mo locked his gaze onto those tentacles and thought that they resembled the tentacles of the legendary Giant Sable Squid!


    It was a terrifying creature that lived in the deep sea area nearly 10,000 meters below.


    Most of these underwater behemoths lived in groups, and now dozens of tentacles had appeared at the same time. What was behind this?


    "The Giant Sable Squids are working together. What''s going on?" Wu Mo frowned.


    He had a n. He wanted to develop a monitoring device that could be ced at least 10,000 meters below the sea. It would be responsible for detecting every move on the surrounding seabed in real time.


    They would collect samples regrly and send them back to analyze the activities of the seabed creatures and the changes in the ph of the seawater.


    If such detection equipment could be fully installed in the waters near China, they could monitor the movements of these underwater beasts at any time.


    The scene suddenly changed, and a huge squid was instantly bitten by an inverted triangr mouth!


    "Stop!"


    At this moment, arade who looked like an analyst waved the remote control in his hand and paused the video.


    Freeze!


    The image slowly erged.


    Even without the frame count, one could still vaguely see the dense teeth in the inverted triangr mouth tightly gripping the tentacle.


    Immediately after, dark blue blood flowed out of the tentacle!


    "This looks like a species of octopus, but it''s not the Giant Sable Squid. It''s another creature. Moreover, it was very likely that this creature had yet to be discovered in the world!"


    As soon as the analyst finished speaking, it immediately caused a wave of discussion.


    One of the officers frowned and asked in confusion, "Since this unknown creature has already appeared, has the Institute of Biological Analysis sent anyone to investigate?"


    However, another robust officer said, "Everyone, I believe that the most important thing today is not to prove the true identity of this unknown creature that is suspected to be a giant squid, but to first confirm what the creature that just ate the antennae is!"


    He knocked on the conference table and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, look at this ship. ording to our estimation, the draft is more than 50 tons. There will be no problem sailing in this area! However, a fishing boat ident not long ago had forced the sailing route to be terminated. How did this ship enter?"


    This question caused everyone to specte. Someone said, "Let us make a bold guess. The real creature behind these tentacles may also be arge race at the bottom of the sea!"


    Another officer also expressed his thoughts.


    "They might havee out to hunt and treated this ship as their prey, but in the end, they encountered an even more mysterious and terrifying creature. That''s why there''s such a show."


    The officers expressed their opinions one after another, but Wu Mo remained silent.


    Suddenly, the bureau chief said, "Wu Mo, what do you think?"


    Everyone''s eyes instantly focused on Wu Mo.


    "No matter if it''s thisrge tentacle creature or that mysterious unknown creature," Wu Mo said slowly. "They all live at the bottom of the southeast coast. Decades of exploration activities have not found them, which is enough to prove that we need to develop a new device to monitor the dynamic of the deep sea at any time."


    The bureau chief asked, "Wu Mo, you''re right. However, such a device is veryplicated for us humans. The technical difficulty is very high. I wonder if you have any good ideas?"


    At this moment, everyone''s eyes became brighter and brighter, waiting for Wu Mo''s answer.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    To detect the Giant Sable Squid, a device had to be ced 10,000 meters below the seabed.


    The record of extreme diving for humans was that they could only stay there for less than five hours because the terrifying pressure at the bottom of the sea was no joke.


    The current materials could only slightly resist the pressure. To carry out the detection device on the seabed, it would still need to maintain a stable feedback for a long time.


    The requirements for theyout of the optical fiber, the stability of the material, and the impact of the environment were too high.


    But who was the person standing there now?


    He was the top judge of the China Elite Awardsmittee and had dozens of important medals on him. He was the number one person in the field of scientific research.


    Everyone began to look forward to it. Could Wu Mo create such a monitoring device?


    Wu Mo answered the old chief, "I already have a rough idea. This device will be named the Deep Sea Eye. The initial estimate is that it will be ced near the southeast coast, 10,000 meters below the sea area 36 degrees northtitude.


    "However, the specific situation of the progress requires urate feedback from the maritime agency."


    "No problem. The mysterious 36 degrees northtitude has be a hot topic. Many people don''t pay attention to the specific location. I''ll get the relevant departments to give detailed opinions on this matterter."


    The old chief nodded quietly and pondered.


    In fact, the 36th degree northtitude had already be a well-known name.


    However, why did no one notice its longitude?


    This was because on this north-southtitude line, there was not only the mysterious wrecked sea area, but also arge natural forest simr to China.


    Many iprehensible miracles had appeared in these forests and caused a global sensation!


    Moreover, thistitude line extended all over the world, and there were also some strange natural miracles in the territories of other countries.


    Therefore, everyone suddenly ignored this shipwreck and did not pay attention to which meridian it was located on.


    Now, everything waspletely different.


    Wu Mo was currently working hard on the Deep Sea Eye, which required him to urately project it to the bottom of the 10,000 meters deep to better lock onto this mysterious sea area.


    "Everyone, please continue watching!"


    The old chief''s voice was solemn. Then, the analyst nodded and the video continued to y.


    The inverted triangr mouth swallowed the entire tentacle. The root of the tentacle seemed to have been forcefully broken by the strange creature in an instant, barely saving itself.


    This scene made everyone gasp.


    At the same time, arge amount of sky-blue blood floated on the surface of the sea, dyeing the surrounding seawater with a strange color.


    "Wait! Look at that inverted triangr mouth. What kind of creature is it?" amasculine officer immediately shouted.


    "This is the footage taken by the survivors from the big ship three hours ago," the analyst replied with a bitter smile. "There are only these scattered fragments and angles."


    "Sigh, what a pity! It would be great if he could capture the full appearance of the creature with the inverted triangr mouth!"


    All the officers shook their heads.


    Many of the officers present were from the navy and had been on missions at sea all year round, but they had never seen or heard of such mouth-shaped underwater creatures.


    Based on this limited information, they could not even make a basic judgment, let alone reveal the true face of this creature.

 Chapter 457 Research And Development Training Academy

    The next part of the scene was not yed. It was probably because the survivors had lowered the camera angle in panic, causing everything in the distance to be unclear.


    The tentacle disappeared, and so did the inverted triangr mouth.


    In the end, there was only a loud bang. The ship explodedpletely, followed by the howling of waves and strong winds. The scene came to an abrupt end.


    "Everyone, the situation is very serious," the old chief said in a deep voice. "An unknown mysterious creature has appeared on the sea and has caused two disasters at sea in a row. The impact is gradually expanding. "Now, many people are starting to pay attention to this matter, so we must pay enough attention to it!"


    All the officers present nodded in unison. They knew that protecting the safety of China''s ocean was a national n, and they could not ignore the mysterious creature hidden in the ocean.


    Even though China''s technology was powerful, it would be easy for them to destroy several huge underwater creatures.


    However, who could know exactly what mysteries were hidden in the deep sea world?


    The exploration of the ocean by humans was still in its infancy, and the sea area was muchrger than thend.


    In other words, humans only upied a limited amount ofnd and air.


    Although China was leading in the aerospace field and had established a space base station, perhaps everyone should bury their eyes under their feet and devote themselves to the exploration of the ocean.


    This incident sounded an rm for people. The underwater world might be hiding unknown areas that had never been seen before.


    "Minister Xu, the funds for the maritime inspection agency have been distributed over the past few years, right?" the old chief suddenly asked.


    "Yes." An officer nodded in response. "The maritime inspector has applied for research and development funds many times in recent years. We have fully allocated them."


    The old chief could not help but snort coldly. "If that''s the case, why are they so unfamiliar with the sea area under their jurisdiction? Why haven''t they found out the truth after two consecutive incidents?"


    The old chief''s displeasure made the atmosphere tense, but Wu Mo''s words broke the silence.


    "Chief, I think we should develop the Deep Sea Eye as soon as possible. Such deep-sea creatures were hidden thousands of meters deep in the sea. The current methods can''t be used to search for them, and mistakes are inevitable."


    e¦Áglesn?¦Íel Hearing Wu Mo''s exnation, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.


    Wu Mo was an expert in this field. His exnation might be able to alleviate the old chief''s anger.


    "The Deep Sea Eye Project must beunched immediately! Wu Mo, you will be in charge. Also, how long do you expect it to take?" the old chief asked.


    Wu Mo thought for a moment. He still needed to check the system store.


    Looking at the points and conditions required to develop the Deep Sea Eye, he could not give an exact answer for the time being.


    "Chief, how about I call you and report to you when I get back?" Wu Mo asked.


    The old chief nodded in agreement and asked some other questions before the meeting was dismissed.


    Wu Mo returned to the research center and immediately opened the system.


    "Creating the Deep Sea Eye that can operate at a depth of 10,000 meters shouldn''t be a problem for my current system," Wu Mo muttered to himself.


    "It''s just that this mission seems simple, but it''s actually far moreplicated than I imagined!"


    Whether it was the Dragon Control Device or the Skybridge Device, they seemed to be more advanced than the Deep Sea Eye, which was only used for detection.


    However, one should never ignore the mystery of the sea. The water pressure of 10,000 meters deep, the unknown characteristics of creatures, and other factors!


    With all these factorsbined, the difficulty of the Deep Sea Eye was definitely not easy to traverse through space or defend against.


    Wu Mo began to develop the Deep Sea Eye. He used his remaining points to buy a research and development system in the store toy the foundation for the Deep Sea Eye.


    After predicting the progress, Wu Mo realized that it would take at least half a month topletely develop the Deep Sea Eye.


    Only then did he realize that the difficulty of the Deep Sea Eye was no less than the previous invention in the system''s evaluation.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, Section Chief Zhang is looking for you!"


    Someone informed Wu Mo that the newly appointed head of the research and development department wanted to hand over his work.


    "Chief Wu, nice to meet you!"


    The new R & D section chief, Section Chief Zhang, was full of respect for Wu Mo.


    The R&D Department was responsible for the research and development of the country''s heavy weapons. Wu Mo was already a legendary figure.


    All the employees in the R&D Department respected him.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Section Chief Zhang had previously worked in other departments, so he knew Wu Mo''s deeds like the back of his hand.


    Chief Zhang talked about the purpose of this trip. "Chief Wu, the R&D Department has several research groups and the first R&D training academy. Recently, some students havee up with a good invention. I would like to invite you to take a look. Is it convenient for you?"


    It turned out to be a training academy established by the R&D Department.


    The students were all R&D talents with creativity, imagination, and hands-on ability selected by various departments.


    It was wise to focus on training these people.


    Wu Mo had this idea for a long time, but he could not implement it because he was busy.


    Now, the R&D Department had greatly improved the situation of the training academy, and the first batch of students had shown excellent results.


    Wu Mo nodded in agreement and followed Section Chief Zhang to the research and development training academy.


    This ce was located within the wall outside the base. Several towering research buildings stood there, and there were manyboratories inside, fully equipped.


    Despite the tight budget, research and development training had always been highly valued.


    The old chief did not ignore this matter and allocated some funds to ensure that the academy had sufficient equipment.


    After Wu Mo arrived, the teachers and students of the academy swarmed out and eximed, "Is this the greatest scientific research master in the past 100 years?"


    "I finally get to meet Chief Engineer Wu. He''s my idol!"


    "Chief Engineer Wu has brought countless magical inventions to mankind and set an example for us!"


    Everyone watched him enter theboratory building as if he was on a pilgrimage.


    At this moment, the elite students gathered in theboratory.


    Wu Mo followed Section Chief Zhang in, and the students excitedly disyed their works.


    The first invention was an electromaic resonance device generated by alternating current.


    Although electromaic resonance technology had been around for many years, this invention was unique and changed the frequency and trajectory of the maic field.


    This student used a clever method simr to the foreign scientist Lekomov of thest century to create a reverse device.


    On the basis of anti-gravity and maic trajectory adjustment, with the help of alternating current control, the ultra-long-range electromaic resonance effect was achieved!


    This invention was the first in China.


    Wu Mo nced at the student and saw through his intentions.


    At this moment, the thin student was trembling with excitement.


    "Chief Engineer Wu," Section Chief Zhang eagerly asked," this invention has won the Best Originality Award in the internal selection of the R&D Department this year. What do you think?"


    The reason why this invention was ced in the first ce for Wu Mo toment on was because the entire R&D Department unanimously agreed that its creativity was outstanding.


    Under the current conditions, the prospects after improvement were very broad.


    As everyone knew, Wu Mo had pushed the rapid development of China''s technology. Under this background, many amazing inventions had sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain.


    However, few people had ever dabbled in electromaic resonance technology!


    Due to theplexity of the technical difficulties and the high degree of realization, it might take three to five years of hard work without any results.


    Such hard work yielded little results, so it naturally became the first choice for utilitarians to abandon.


    This young child was born into a civilian family and had been malnourished since he was young.


    Relying on hard work, he entered military school with difficulty. Later, by chance, he joined the research and development training school.


    As the first batch of students, he was determined to make a breakthrough in the field of electromaic resonance!


    After a few months of painstaking research, he finallypleted this preliminary device.


    The student excitedly introduced him to Wu Mo. My electromaic resonance device has been named the ultra-long-range electronic entanglement device! It used reverse gravity electromaic trajectory change, coupled with the influence of ultra-high-magnitude alternating current, to achieve electronic entanglement resonance from a hundred kilometers away, with an error of only 0.03 seconds!"

 Chapter 458 Teaching And Solving Problems

    Wu Mo nodded repeatedly.


    "Very good, electron entanglement resonance! Your inspiration must have been inspired by the famous Mr. Albert nearly a hundred years ago, right?"


    Seeing that Wu Mo understood his idea, the students became even more excited.


    It was as if he had found a soulmate and felt that all his efforts were worth it.


    Wu Mo continued, "The error is 0.03 seconds. This data can be further optimized. For electromaic resonance and even electron entanglement, errors are a serious matter. If we can''t achieve the highest precision in terms of information, the distance you obtain will just be a lie!"


    The student nodded like a chick pecking at rice. This is the direction of my next research!"


    Wu Mo''s words pointed out the shorings of his research results, and the student secretly made up his mind.


    Next, he needed to ovee the problem that Wu Mo had mentioned and make this device a top product in the next R&Dpetition!


    "Not bad. It''s truly outstanding!"


    Wu Mo felt that this group of people before him would probably be the future stars of hope for China after him.


    Their field of scientific research included the military industry, as well as the biotechnology research that the old chief had high hopes for.


    The ultimate goal of these research directions was to benefit mankind, especially China.


    With these talents, the future was naturally filled with hope!


    The inventions in front of him all had their merits. Since they had won awards and received funding approval from the upper echelons, they could officially enter the R&D production list.


    However, when Wu Mo saw thest invention, he realized that it was just a piece of paper.


    "What is this?" Wu Mo asked curiously.


    He picked up the piece of paper. The dense equations and strange ideas on it made him frown slightly.


    Wu Mo had a Divine-grade military system. Even without opening the store, he could tell that this guy was very bold with just a nce!


    ¦Ñ¦Á§ád¦Á -n?¦Íe| , c?m "Oh, controble nuclear fusion?" Wu Mo read these words softly, and the entireboratory fell into a dead silence.


    He raised his head and could not help but size up the girl before him. The corners of his mouth curled into a smile.


    The girl had two cute dimples. When she saw Wu Mo looking at her, she smiled, and her dimples gradually deepened. She looked sweet andpelling.


    She also had beautiful wine-red hair tied up in a ponytail, which exuded youthful vitality.


    If she walked the world, people would only see her as the obedient daughter of a rich family. They would never think that she was actually the first batch of graduate students in the country''s top scientific research institute.


    Wu Mo noticed that although the various ideas in this design manuscript were wild and unrestrained, they were all well-founded.


    Obviously, the girl had encountered a technical difficulty that no human could ovee during the design process. This resulted in the iplete manuscript!


    The controble nuclear fusion that she was researching could not be directly demonstrated, so she only had the design manuscript.


    Section Chief Zhang stood at the side and did not say anything. He frowned and even felt a little regretful.


    "Controlled nuclear fusion is difficult to achieve. I''m afraid it won''t be a reality in the next 100 years! We shouldn''t have let Chief Engineer Wu see this manuscript. Otherwise, he might mistake our research institute for a group of ambitious dreamers."


    However, Section Chief Zhang''s worries werepletely unnecessary. Not only did Wu Mo not look down on these people, but he also admired the girl.


    "Why did you choose to research controble nuclear fusion?" Wu Mo asked curiously.


    The girl''s voice was as ethereal and pleasant as ark''s. "Chief Engineer Wu, the energy problem will never be solved! Even though China''s development has reached a bottleneck and our country has an outstanding talent like you, the overall demand is increasing day by day. Current inventions will never catch up with the consumption. That''s why I came up with the idea of controble nuclear fusion to make up for the huge shortage of energy," she replied.


    Current inventions could never catch up with the consumption.


    Wu Mo slowly recalled this sentence, and his eyes grew increasingly bright.


    He was surprised that the girl could say something so profound.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "But whether it''s the stabilization of neutrons or the uncertainty of atoms, these are century-old scientific problems that no one in the world can solve. Do you think your research can be a reality?"


    Wu Mo''s sharp question left the girl speechless.


    Just as Wu Mo said, quantum stability and atomic uncertainty were the two biggest problems in controble nuclear fusion research.


    When the quantum and the photon rotated in a fixed direction, the stability of the atom was crucial.


    When quantum and neutrons collided with each other in the form of positive and negative electrons, the energy produced could continuously generate new electrons and neutrons.


    The evolution and birth of positive and negative energy in the form of collisions was so-called nuclear fusion.


    Just like how the nuclear fusion aircraft carrier far surpassed the general aircraft carrier in terms of energy, it utilized this great invention principle.


    However, there was still a huge problem with nuclear fusion, and that was its uncontroble nature.


    This challenge existed in the minds of all scientists, but research was not easy. Even Wu Mo had not stepped into this field.


    Controlled nuclear fusion, in short, allowed atoms and neutrons to collide with each other in the right way, thereby converting the energy produced during the collision into a controble amount!


    In other words, if the previous nuclear fusion was only in the internal space of a huge disk, which allowed the quantum and neutrons to continuously resist and generate energy, then with controble nuclear fusion, the energy generation speed would be multiplied in an unimaginable way!


    How terrifying was this concept?


    If controble nuclear fusion was born, the human world would bepletely changed.


    There was no need for power generation equipment, wires,work cables, artificial satellites, etc. All they needed was a huge controble nuclear fusion reactor that theoretically existed. The energy it produced would be enough to cover the entire China in various forms.


    People would not have to worry about energy consumption. Electricity would be continuously produced, and it would exist forever.


    The aircraft carriers and even space rockets would continue to operate.


    The aircraft carriers could travel around the Earth''s oceans at an astonishing speed without worrying about the exhaustion of energy, or even consuming energy.


    Space rockets could travel in space in a fixed manner until they reached the edge of the universe.


    This would be a revolution, and a huge leap in the level of humanity as well as Earth''s civilization!


    If humanity was a level 5 space civilization now, with controble nuclear fusion, they could be a level 3 or even level 2 space civilization!


    The significance of this invention was far-reaching. Even though it had been studied for many years, no senior scientist in the world had achieved any results.


    However, there were still many people who were passionate about this and dedicated their limited lives to the research of controble nuclear fusion.


    ''I wonder what kind of conditions I need to research controble nuclear fusion?'' Inspired by the girl, Wu Mo thought to himself.


    Whether it was space equipment, dragon control equipment, bridge equipment, or all kinds of military weapons, they all had amon prerequisite.


    That was how to establish a foothold in China and even this!


    However, controble nuclear fusion involved the unreachable space field.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, can controble nuclear fusion really be achieved?"


    When Wu Mo returned to his senses, the girl in before him asked expectantly.


    Wu Mo could not bear to hurt her passion for scientific research.


    Many of the contents in the manuscript were very professional, from her arguments to examples to reasoning, and there was evidence to rely on.


    However, due to some unsolved problems, the manuscript could not produce research value in reality.


    Wu Mo thought for a moment and said honestly, "Your direction is correct, but the technical difficulties are still there. The are real problems ahead of you, and you won''t be able to proceed with your research."

 Chapter 459 Creation Is The Source Of Technological Research And Development

    His words were hurtful, but Wu Mo had to tell the truth.


    If he lied to the girl, her future would go to waste.


    "I understand, Chief Engineer Wu."


    Her voice was a little muffled, and tears welled up in her eyes.


    However, Wu Mo had no other choice.


    Even if he wanted to achieve controble nuclear fusion through the system store, it would still be incredibly difficult.


    He estimated that he would need at least two hundred million system points.


    More importantly, there was no practical significance in researching controble nuclear fusion.


    Humans were still restricted by this. Although they could enter space, they could not fly out of the gxy.


    In addition, controble nuclear fusion could only be achieved if the entire''s basic technology reached a corresponding level. When that happened, it would only be logical to develop controble nuclear fusion.


    If a building''s base was not up to standard, creating a controble nuclear fusion project would be like building a castle in the air. Without basic support, it would be on the verge of copse.


    Wu Mo continued to review the manuscript. After this controble nuclear fusion incident, he began to pay more attention to it. He realized that there were indeed some outstanding people emerging from this research and development training school.


    These young students were all around the age of twenty. Some of them had strong hands-on skills, while others were flexible, creative, and daring.


    There were also some students who had unique ideas that opened Wu Mo''s eyes.


    Most of the students in the Research and Development Training Academy were keen on researching weapons.


    The research on weapons and guns often yielded remarkable results, and the military regions were in urgent need of arge number of advanced weapons and equipment.


    China loved peace, but it was also determined to defend itself.


    Wu Mo had a feeling that the situation in the southeast coast might cause China to need these weapons even more in the future.


    "What is this?"


    Wu Mo''s gaze fell on the next invention.


    Before him was a submachine gun with a caliber of about 125mm. The butt and the body of the gun seemed to be carefully and precisely connected.


    When the internal structure was unfolded, the gun could hold three magazines, which was a total of 210 bullets!


    Such guns were not rare in the Chinese army, and submachine guns could be seen everywhere.


    However, Wu Mo knew that since this gun had been ced before him, there had to be something unique about it.


    When the student saw Wu Moe to his side, he swallowed nervously and organized his thoughts.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, this is a modified T88 assault rifle. I''ve made adjustments to its internal structure and used electromaic tubes topress the bullets with high electronic pressure. As a result, I''ve increased its range and uracy. I''m sure everyone knows that an increase in firing speed could greatly reduce the influence of the wind and resistance."


    Wu Mo nodded repeatedly as the student spoke.


    Section Chief Zhang''s face revealed a proud expression.


    In fact, the real purpose of developing a training academy was for students to study practical projects.


    However, Wu Mo pointed out the ws in this new weapon.


    "The principle of your design is to increase thepression force to increase the range and uracy, but it will greatly reduce the weapon''s lifespan."


    This sentence hit the nail in the coffin.


    The student nodded humbly and admitted that he had considered this problem when designing.


    Electromaicpression could indeed increase the range and uracy of bullets, but under electromaic pressure, it would be difficult for current military materials to keep up with such a huge consumption.


    He believed that such an assault rifle had a limited lifespan and could explode at any time.


    The anxious student then asked, "In that case, how can I improve and increase its lifespan, Chief Engineer Wu?"


    Wu Mo pondered for a moment and replied, "Everything has its pros and cons. If you focus on one thing, you have to give up on something else."<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "What? In other words, there''s no material that can withstand continuous electromaic pressure? Won''t my design fall apart prematurely then?" the student said dejectedly.


    He had invested a lot of time in his research, and the results were uneptable.


    He wanted Wu Mo to take a look at it because he was hoping to hear his opinion.


    After all, this drawback had to be solved.


    Wu Mo thought about it again and suggested, "Perhaps you should find materials that are more resistant to high temperatures and improve them. Besides, have you ever considered that in the current environment, pursuing an ultra-high range is actually superfluous?"


    "Superfluous? What do you mean?"


    Not only were the students curious, but even Section Chief Zhang and a group of teachers from the training academy widened their eyes. They were waiting for Wu Mo to exin.


    "The electromaic pulse cannon is the only closebat weapon onnd. In a situation where the electromaic pulse cannon can''t solve a problem, do you think your design can save the situation?" he said.


    His words suddenly enlightened everyone!


    When the student designed the gun, he only wanted to increase the bullet''s range so that it could even surpass the cannon''s range.


    However, he neglected the fact that cannons and machine guns had their own characteristics. No matter how long the gun''s range was, could its powerpare to that of cannons?


    For example, the electromaic gun designed by Wu Mo could destroy a car in one shot.


    However, it was unrealistic for this student to think that an assault rifle could achieve a simr effect.


    Putting aside the hardness and toughness of the material, even if it could be done, what about the cannons?


    The current electromaic pulse cannons were far more powerful than the assault rifle.


    Moreover, under such high-intensity electromaic pressure, the rifle could explode at any time and even endanger its wielder.


    Wu Mo smiled and exined, "Let me give you a simple analogy. A chicken is a chicken, and a duck is a duck. There''s already a group of chickensying eggs here, but you insist on forcing a duck toy eggs too. What''s the point?"


    Although this analogy was simple, it was extremely appropriate. It just so happened to reveal the problem of the student''s design.


    Seeing that the student was in low spirits, Wu Moforted him, "You don''t have to beat yourself up. Your idea is very creative. As long as there''s a breakthrough in materials and costs, your design will reach a higher level."


    After he received Wu Mo''s encouragement, the student''s mood improved, and a hint of determination shed in his eyes.


    "Alright, Chief Engineer Wu! I''ll work hard to invent a high-pressure electromaic rifle that has a long service life!"


    "Okay, good luck!" Wu Mo smiled and gave him a thumbs up.


    Time flew by in the morning. Wu Mo pointed out some things about many important inventions, but he remained silent about some designs.


    He believed that some inventions were difficult to materialize at this stage, even with the help of the Divine-grade Military System.


    Such inventions proved that the students had a rich imagination and could write science fiction, but it was challenging to apply their inventions.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, please follow me."


    Soon after, Section Chief Zhang brought Wu Mo around the training academy''sboratory equipment.


    It was fully equipped, and some of the equipment was designed by the school itself.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, we would like to name the R&D trainingpetition after you. There will be ten winners in thepetition. Each of them will have the opportunity to observe your research and development process up close. What do you think?"


    After Chief Zhang finished speaking, he carefully observed Wu Mo''s expression.


    Wu Mo considered it for a moment and replied, "Sure. Holding such apetition could stimte the students'' interest in research and development. Just ask them to see me after thepetition."


    Section Chief Zhang did not expect Wu Mo to agree so readily. He was extremely excited.


    The idea had been in his head for a long time. If the ten best students could observe Wu Mo''s research and development closely, they would definitely gain valuable experience, which the training academy could not provide.


    After he left the R&D Training Academy, Wu Mo returned to his dorm. The first thing he did was search the system store.


    Inspired by the girl''s research on controble nuclear fusion, countless future paths emerged in Wu Mo''s mind.

 Chapter 460 Terrifying Undersea Creatures

    Controlled nuclear fusion could greatly improve the level of a''s civilization.


    Once it appeared, the human world would undergo a world-shaking transformation.


    Wu Mo also thought of something even moreplex than controble nuclear fusion.


    Strictly speaking, this was not an invention, but a substance that existed in the universe.


    No one could really restore it, and it was said that the world''s top scientists had only developed 0.01 grams of it in a topboratory abroad!


    This substance was extremely terrifying. If it was truly restored in the present world, it would likely bring a destructive blow to the world.


    All of a sudden, there was a call from inside the base. The heads of various departments and several high-ranking officers walked solemnly to the conference room.


    Wu Mo did not receive the notification, so he was puzzled and clueless about the situation.


    Recently, the base had been holding simr meetings frequently, which made him feel a sense of crisis.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, the observation period for the second batch of soldiers who received the gene strengthening drug has ended. All the physical test data has been released, and one of them requires your personal review."


    Xu Wanqing came to the Institute of Special Biology with the documents in her hand to find Wu Mo and ask for instructions.


    Wu Mo nodded and examined the soldier''s physical data.


    "Oh? It has amplified his strength by ten times. It has exceeded our expectations greatly!"


    Wu Mo was surprised to find that after this soldier had taken the gene strengthening drug, his body''s various indicators had increased by more than ten times! Under normal circumstances, three times the strength was already beyond his expectations.


    What did ten times indicate?


    Wu Mo noticed that during the fist strength test, the soldier had delivered a punch with all his strength, and its force had reached an astonishing 1,500 kilograms.


    He could kill a tiger or a wild bull with a single punch.


    He was a real-life version of Superman! Wu Mo sighed internally. This was the amazing effect of the gene strengthening drug.


    While they had achieved a major breakthrough with the gene strengthening drug, Wu Mo was still looking forward to more gains.


    He was now focusing on the poprity of the Life First potion.


    "The Life First drug has been approved by our higher-ups, and it can be used on arge scale.


    "Currently, the number of people who have agreed to undergo the Life First drug test has reached three hundred!" Xu Wanqing told Mo Wu.


    Wu Mo nodded in satisfaction. The results exceeded his expectations.


    The reason why Life First could achieve such a breakthrough was inseparable from its scientific nature and sustainable development.


    After the birth of Life First, Life Second would also be born.


    Wu Mo predicted that Life First''s n had reached a mature stage. Soon, the dream of adding another 60 years would no longer remain a dream.


    The atmosphere in the meeting room was tense.


    Apart from Wu Mo, the rest of the R&D Department did not attend.


    The people in the conference room were senior officers and heads of various departments. They had one thing inmon: They had worked in the Maritime Department or directly managed the Maritime Agency.


    "Everyone, I believe you are aware of the importance of this photo. This was taken during the military exercise on the southeast coast the day before yesterday. ording to the location''s information, it might be at thirty-six degrees northtitude and seventy-eight degrees east longitude. It''s twenty nautical miles away from the site of the military exercise."


    The analyst was holding the remote control, and the image on the projector was gradually erged.


    Thanks to the military''s camera, the photo remained clear even after it was magnified dozens of times.


    Everyone saw a golden head on the projector. Its huge body was half exposed above the seawater, and its bean-like eyes emitted a dark green light.


    Its inverted triangr mouth looked familiar.


    "So this unknown creature swallowed the tentacles? What kind of creature is it?"


    Everyone frowned and fell into deep thought.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    The analyst continued," ording to the photographer and witnesses, this golden-headed creature quietly observed the military exercise from ten nautical miles away before it disappeared into the sea. They sent out a cruiser to search the area but found nothing."


    Many spections emerged in everyone''s minds.


    "Hmph! A cruiser can explore a range of eight hundred meters below sea, yet it can''t find this unknown creature. It''s obvious that the creature lives at least a thousand meters below the surface of the sea," a mighty officer slowly said.


    "It''s obviously below a kilometer. This guy swallowed a few giant beasts thest time. This time, I estimate that it''ll dive thousands or even tens of thousands of meters deep," another officer replied.


    The old chief patted the table with both hands and said in a serious tone, "Everyone! This is not a science fiction movie, but a living creature. We have to take it seriously! There''s a huge and mysterious creature lurking in our waters. It will likely continue to cause trouble for fishing boats and warships. We have to solve this problem as soon as possible!"


    The old chief''s heavy words made everyone present feel downcast.


    They had thought of many ways to capture this unknown creature, but they had failed.


    Besides, what kind of creature did those huge tentacles belong to?


    Could there be such a huge octopus in the sea besides the Giant Sable Squid?


    "If only Chief Engineer Wu''s Deep Sea Eye is already developed. With that device, we can observe the movements at the bottom of the sea at any time and find the creature."


    One of the officers was deep in thought.


    The old chief nodded and instructed his assistant, "Invite Wu Mo over!"


    The meeting was not opened to the members of the R&D Department. All of them were directly under the management of the first-tier organizations.


    However, since the Deep Sea Eye was mentioned, Wu Mo was inevitably invited.


    When Wu Mo arrived at the meeting room, the first thing he noticed was a shocking photo on the projector.


    "Oh, what kind of creature is this?"


    Wu Mo noticed that the creature had an inverted triangr mouth, and its eyes were like huge green beans, which shone with green light.


    It looked like a toy, not like any animal that actually existed!


    Furthermore, the creature''s head was covered in golden scales, and the part that was exposed above the water looked like a glowing head.


    In the end, the analyst exined the origin of the mysterious photo and the scene to Wu Mo. Then, everyone held their breath and waited in hopes that Wu Mo would give them some good news about the Deep Sea Eye.


    Wu Mo had already checked on the progress of the Deep Sea Eye''s development before leaving his dormitory. It was already more than 90%plete and was expected to be ready in the next two days.


    He confidently said, "I estimate that the Deep Sea Eye will be able to enter the field in two days. This is a critical time. I hope that the Maritime Agency will increase its supervision over the next two days."


    Hearing Wu Mo''s words, everyone nodded in agreement.


    The mysterious sea area had to be strictly controlled. Otherwise, if a simr sea disaster urred again, the problem would be even more serious.


    One could call the first urrence an ident and be understanding about it.


    One could also exin the second urrence as a result of neglect, or the unknown creature being too secretive and difficult to guard against.


    However, if there was a third urrence, the nature of the situation would bepletely different!


    Not only would it be difficult for the old chief to exin himself, but it would also be difficult for everyone present to absolve themselves of the me.


    Therefore, this was everyone''s responsibility, and no one could escape it.


    Although developing the Deep Sea Eye was a losing business, Wu Mo knew that not everything was about mary profit.


    Facing the two tragedies that had already imed dozens of lives, Wu Mo was determined to find the mysterious creature with golden scales and reveal its true face.


    Finally, the Deep Sea Eye was sessfully born.


    When the fifteen-meter-long, oval-shaped device that resembled a giant eyeball was slowly revealed, all the officers present were shocked!


    "Heavens, is this the Deep Sea Eye? Isn''t this just a huge depth sensor?"

 Chapter 461 Guess

    Someone slowly touched the Deep Sea Eye''s outer shell and eximed.


    Such a device was a dream-like existence. Even the magical forest sprite could notpare to it!


    "Wu Mo, is there any difference between this Deep Sea Eye and your original design?" the old chief asked with concern.


    He clearly remembered that Wu Mo had once vowed that "once the Deep Sea Eye was deployed near the southeast coast, it could reach ten thousand meters below sea level!"


    However, a design idea was just an idea, and reality often differed from an ideal oue.


    Many people set many goals when designing something, but the final product often failed to meet expectations.


    Even so, Wu Mo confidently patted his chest and promised the old chief.


    "Don''t worry, Old Chief. This Deep Sea Eye can dive to a depth of about 12,300 meters. Its information feedback was extremely urate, with a dy of five seconds at most. At the same time, it was equipped with arge memory that could perfectly reproduce all the images and sounds within a kilometer."


    Following Wu Mo''s introduction, the crowd gasped in admiration. Everyone once again looked at the strange equipment in front of them.


    "The Deep Sea Eye lives up to its name. It''s like Poseidon''s eye, able to monitor the movements of the seabed at any time!" an officer said emotionally.


    "That''s right. With the Deep Sea Eye, the entire sea area, up to a depth of more than ten thousand meters, will not be able to escape our surveince!"


    Another senior official in charge of the Maritime Agency nodded repeatedly.


    The recent strange events in the mysterious sea had put him under a lot of pressure, but with this equipment, the current problem would be greatly alleviated.


    "However, it''s best to limit the range of the Deep Sea Eyes to ten nautical miles. Otherwise, the feedback might not be timely."


    "If an ident happens, the Deep Sea Eye itself might be damaged!"


    Following Wu Mo''s exnation, everyone realized that the Deep Sea Eye had to be used at a critical moment.


    In other words, the Deep Sea Eye would be ced in the southeast sea area, near the shipwreck area at 36 degrees northtitude.


    If he went beyond this ce, not only would it lose its practical significance, but it might also cause an unpredictable disaster.


    "Wu Mo, do you have any other suggestions?"


    The old general noticed that Wu Mo seemed to be hiding something and immediately asked.


    Wu Mo pondered for a moment and finally replied, "Old Chief, why don''t you deploy a closebatpany to the area near the sea area where the ident happened in case of any emergencies?"


    Hearing Wu Mo''s firm words, many officers nodded in agreement.


    In fact, they had long considered using force to forcibly control the sea area, because the nature of the current incident was extremely special. It was impossible topletely control the situation with only remote monitoring.


    Once that unknown mysterious creature appeared again, who could guarantee that they could capture it in time?


    If armed forces were deployed to monitor the scene, once the target appeared, they could immediately kill it. For such an unknown creature that hadmitted heinous crimes, killing it alive was not a pity.


    Wu Mo''s suggestion was approved by everyone, and a well-trained special forcespany was transferred from the local area.


    Coupled with a cruiser, it would be stationed 24/7 near the sea area where the ident urred. Once there was any situation, it would be able to provide timely feedback.


    Everyone left the meeting room, but the old chief asked Wu Mo to stay.


    Wu Mo''s heart tightened. The old chief had deliberately asked him to stay. Could it be that there was still a lot of unknown information that he wanted to tell him?


    The old chief''s voice became more and more serious.


    "Wu Mo, there''s actually a lot of information that I haven''t disclosed to the public, but I hope to tell you alone."<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    The old chief sighed and could not help but say.


    "Oh, Chief? Was it about the mysterious unknown creature?"


    Wu Mo''s intuition was very sharp. He immediately guessed the old chief''s worries.


    The old chief nodded with a bitter smile and said, "That''s right, this matter is really shocking! ording to the information feedback from the third submarine formation on the southeast coast, they had already captured the initial information about the creature with the golden head and the inverted triangr mouth."


    "Oh, then where is the image?"


    Wu Mo was instantly tempted. If he could see the creature''s true appearance, he might be able to analyze whether it was a mutatedrge creature caused by a nuclear leak.


    Moreover, its original structure should have originated from somerge mammals in the sea, such as whales.


    Then, the old chief turned on the projector again and yed a mysterious video.


    The picture was rather blurry because the monster was churning the seawater when capturing the information, which caused the information to be difficult to capture.


    However, the relevant technicians quickly restored a picture that was close to the real situation based on the fragmented information!


    The projector showed a huge creature. Half of its head was exposed above the sea level, and the remaining 90% was hidden in the water.


    This creature''s head was as huge as a bear, and its ears were extremely small, which made them almost impossible to detect!


    Its neck was unusually long, and it almost took up one-third of its entire body.


    Its huge body was quite simr to a whale''s. It was smooth and scaleless. This formed a strong contrast with the green armor on its head, which, made it seem particrly strange and inconsistent!


    This unknown creature had four legs, and its feet had evolved into flippers!


    Although the fins were not huge, it could still slide freely in the sea with its huge body. Its speed was not slow at all.


    Wu Mo recalled that when he first saw the video clip, the golden-headed creature only took a few seconds to get close to him from afar. It was hard to imagine how it pushed its body forward at such a speed.


    "Wu Mo, did you see that? This kind of creature is simply a fantasy. It''s something that we humans can''t imagine. I seriously suspect that there are two possible sources!"


    Wu Mo nodded silently and listened to the old chief continue.


    "First of all, it''s very likely that it''s a product left behind by an alien civilization before our civilization!"


    This idea was extremely bizarre. It was even bolder than the students'' research that Wu Mo had seen at the research training academy.


    However, Wu Mo and the old chief knew that this possibility was not groundless.


    "The second possibility is slightly more realistic than the first. This monster is very likely to be the pollution effect caused by some country''s secret nuclear tests!"


    The original form of these creatures should be simr to deep-sea whales.


    After the nuclear contamination, their genes gradually mutated. After dozens or even hundreds of generations of evolution, they finally formed the appearance before them.


    After the old chief yed a video, the submarine captured the unknown creature''s deep cry. It was like a dull bird''s cry, but it had a mechanical indifference.


    Even the top biologist couldn''t analyze the rhythm and frequency of the recording to get more information about the unknown creature.


    The old chief shook his head. If he encountered another disaster at sea, he would not be able to bear it.


    Wu Mo also understood the old general''s feelings, but for now, they could only rely on the Deep Sea Eye.

 Chapter 462 The Obvious Effects Of The Gene Strengthening Drug

    The Deep Sea Eye was secretly transported and dropped into the southeast coast.


    When it descended to a depth of 800 meters, it finally made a major discovery.


    Real-time information was shared, and the researchers in the secret chamber stared nervously at the detection images from all angles.


    Suddenly, they saw a huge shadow sh across the screen.


    The shadow moved so quickly that it did not match its size.


    In physics, for arge object to achieve a greater speed, it needed to have more kic energy.


    The speed of this huge shadow seemed extremely unscientific. What kind of energy was driving it?


    After images from different angles werebined, the mysterious creature''s full appearance was finally presented.


    Everyone gasped. They saw a giant octopus with eight exaggerated tentacles covered in blood-red suckers.


    In the seawater, these suckers formed eight terrifying underwater vortexes that devoured all underwater creatures. Even sharks andrge fish could not escape.


    Wherever this giant octopus passed, the sea would turn scarlet red, filled with the blood of underwater creatures.


    There was a sharp mouth attached to the head of the giant octopus. It had no teeth or tongue in its mouth, only a sharp thorn.


    This thorn was like a lightning rod in the sea, constantly probing ahead to help it avoid potential danger.


    The researchers were nervous, and they found that the giant octopus was slowly moving toward the Deep Sea Eye with its sharp thorns in its mouth.


    It slowed down as it clearly sensed something out of the ordinary about the Deep Sea Eye.


    Bang!


    There was a dull collision at the bottom of the sea, and using its sharp thorn, the octopus stabbed at the Deep Sea Eye''s detection device.


    However, the Deep Sea Eye was more than ten meters in diameter, and its solid shell was protected by doubleyered tempered ss.


    Even if the ss was cracked, it still had an extremely hard inner container on the inside. It was made of high-strengthposite materials, and it possessed high pressure resistance, fire resistance, as well as waterproof functions.


    After the giant octopus poked the Deep Sea Eye''s detector, it seemed to be heavily injured. As such, it quickly turned around to leave.


    It spun its huge body with agility and speed in the water. As it set off huge waves in the sea, it instantly disappeared from the Deep Sea Eye''s detection screen.


    This major discovery attracted the attention of the old chief, Wu Mo, and a few high-ranking officers. They soon gathered in the research room.


    As they watched the scene repeatedly, the atmosphere grew heavier.


    They had originally wanted to find the unknown creature with the golden-scaled head, but they had unexpectedly discovered such a terrifying second creature.


    This giant octopus had eight tentacles that were as sharp as war weapons. What was it exactly?


    More surprisingly, this monster actually had the breathing characteristics of an earthworm.


    Did that mean it could go onnd one day?


    At this moment, everyone''s expression was the same. No one spoke, and they just stared at the screen silently.


    "Wu Mo, what do you think?" the old chief asked.


    Wu Mo pondered. "ording to the video analysis, there are at least several giant octopuses in that sea area, as well as at least one unknown creature with a strange shape. Moreover, they''re probably hunting and being hunted."


    Wu Mo could only draw useful feedback from this limited information; it was difficult to dig deeper.


    The old chief nodded seriously in agreement. "Now that the Deep Sea Eye has been detected by an unknown creature at the bottom of the sea, we can see that these creatures have extraordinary intelligence. It''ll be difficult to capture them again."


    Wu Mo agreed.


    The second-generation Deep Sea Eye device was in the research and development stage. The n was to have eight sets of equipment, which would be arranged in a double-ring formation in the area of the ident.


    After the eight sets of Deep Sea Eyes were connected, they would form a strict monitoringwork on the entire seabed.


    At that time, no matter what kind the unknown creatures were or where they came from, they would have nowhere to hide.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Make a copy of this information and bring it with you. If you find anything new, you must inform me!" the old chief said calmly.


    However, he also knew that even top biological behavior researchers would find it difficult to dig up more information from these images.


    The R&D Training Academy regrly invited Wu Mo for inspection.


    With Wu Mo''s guidance, the students gradually realized their own shorings and came up with unique ideas.


    Wu Mo was gratified. Although these students had shorings, they would realize their mistakes after a slight correction and quickly do the needful toplete outstanding inventions.


    For example, the electromaic rifle invented by a previous student improved the range and uracy of bullets through high-voltage electromaism.


    Wu Mo believed that the invention needed to solve the issues involving materials, cost, and risk, such as preventing the rifle from exploding and injuring soldiers.


    Now, the student had solved the material issue by using a high-load, fire-proof, and explosion-proof material. This material could better support the continuous output of electromaic pressure and reduce the risk of chamber explosion.


    The only downside was that the cost of this material was extremely high.


    The cost of one such rifle wasparable to three to five ordinary electromaic guns, so his research still required a long time.


    ...


    One day, after a busy day, Wu Mo checked the updates on Life First and found that about 500 people had been injected with the drug.


    Not only did the old chief take the lead, but all the officers in the base were also injected with Life First.


    Gene Strengthening Potion and Human Life Potion were both still under observation.


    However, the gene strengthening drug was obviously more stable. Almost all the soldiers who had been injected with it would obtain a significant enhancement effect.


    The most eye-catching example was the young warrior who had been strengthened tenfold. Now, he had be a legendary existence!


    No one else had achieved the same results as him. Just hearing about it made people sigh endlessly.


    After Phantom Wolf learned of this, he sought that young warrior to test his skills.


    He believed that his strengthened body should be invincible in the army.


    However, after spending less than ten minutes in the boxing training room with the young warrior, Phantom Wolf left with a bitter smile.


    "What a monster! He''s simply a monster!" Phantom Wolf shook his head and muttered to himself.


    It could not be helped. He held the force of several thousand pounds in one punch.


    However, Wu Mo told Phantom Wolf that there would be an upgraded version of the gene strengthening drug. After the second strengthening, perhaps the unstimted potential of the first strengthening could be fully unleashed.


    This filled Phantom Wolf with hope. He was filled with interest and anticipation for the upgraded version of the potion.


    One day, Wu Mo once again invested in the research of the Deep Sea Eye.


    There would never be enough Deep Sea Eyes in the vast sea.


    Nevertheless, once the number of Deep Sea Eyes reached a certain scale, it could achieve all-round three-dimensional monitoring without blind spots to ensure that nothing was wrong.


    The research and development of the Deep Sea Eyes had been included in his schedule. Once eight of them were deployed to the ident area, Wu Mo knew that his goal would gradually be achieved!


    When that happened, the unsolved mysteries would unravel.


    In Wu Mo''s imagination, these mysterious creatures were probably ancient underwater creatures from a distant era that had been living silently in the deep sea.


    Recently, many countries had been secretly testing nuclear equipment, which had caused nuclear leakage and pollution. These ancient creatures might be innocent victims.


    After all, their current appearance was only due to the effects of nuclear radiation.


    With that said, Wu Mo felt troubled.


    The huge octopus could still be traced back to its original form, but what about the strange creature with the golden scales, odd shape and slender neck? What kind of sea creature could it be?

 Chapter 463 Heavy Casualties

    The legend of the plesiosaur suddenly appeared in Wu Mo''s mind.


    He had heard many legends about the mysterious water monster plesiosaurus, but did such creatures exist in real life?


    Wu Mo''s heart was filled with doubt.


    The plesiosaurus was once a type of aquatic dinosaur, and it should have gone extinct long ago.


    However, the ancient creature before him waspletely different from any modern creature. Even the closest in terms of appearance looked very different from it.


    Wu Mo temporarily put this idea to the back of his mind and decided to go to his parents'' house to enjoy some delicious food at night.


    He would always miss his parents'' cooking.


    Furthermore, he nned on taking a few days off and taking Shen Qingya out to rx.


    Work-life bnce was very important to him.


    In his parents'' home, he tasted delicious food, and Wu Mo chatted with his parents while they had some tea.


    Now, not only did his parents look youthful, but they also had young minds.


    The spontaneity of their chats made Wu Mo feel close to them, as if they were friends of the same age as him.


    This change made Wu Mo very confident in Life First''s poprity.


    However, at this moment, the rm from the base in the distance pierced through the peaceful atmosphere.


    The moment Wu Mo heard the rm, he stood up, bade farewell to his parents, and rushed back to the base.


    When he arrived at the meeting room, Wu Mo found that almost all the higher-ups were present. It was obvious that something major had happened.


    The doubt in his heart intensified. The old general was still presiding over the meeting. There were a few important officers beside him. Their expressions were serious, and the atmosphere in the entire meeting room was so oppressive that it was difficult to breathe.


    Right then, no one spoke. Everyone was waiting to solve this mystery.


    Everyone seemed to know the truth.


    They lowered their heads and tapped their fingers on the table. Their faces revealed thoughtful and introspective expressions.


    Wu Mo found a seat and sat down as well. The R&D staff behind him had given him a hint.


    He could feel the urgency in the atmosphere from their gazes and knew that something major must have happened!


    The old chief looked unprecedentedly serious too.


    When had he ever acted like that?


    The old chief made agesture, and his assistant immediately turned on the projector.


    Wu Mo''s eyes widened when he saw the scene.


    The projector showed nine pictures of the Maritime Agency''s soldiers, who were suffering endless pain.


    Some soldiers had lost their arms, some had lost their legs, and a soldier had even been dragged into the sea by a monster, never to be seen again.


    The bloody background of the photo painted a terrible tragedy.


    In an instant, all the officers lowered their heads.


    Wu Mo''s eyes became teary. He had never seen such a scene before. These were the best warriors in China!


    They had fearlessly gone out to sea to carry out their mission. In the face of unknown undersea creatures, they suffered such bad luck.


    Wu Mo remembered that he was the one who had suggested that apany be stationed there to monitor the movements of the underwater creatures at all times.


    Now, something had unexpectedly happened!


    "Two hours ago, our outstanding soldiers were attacked by an unknown creature at the bottom of the sea!"


    "Half of the monster''s head was exposed, and it was covered in thick golden scales. It''s strong enough to block electromaic guns and the most advanced submachine rifles at close range. Everyone here can see what happened next."


    At this point, the atmosphere in the conference room became even more depressing.


    No one thought that the monster''s scales could block firearms and kill soldiers wantonly under the cover of fire.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    One could only imagine the despair in their hearts when they were faced with the threat of death!


    Even the most trusted weapons in their hands were useless, and they could only watch as theirrades fell one by one before them.


    This was undoubtedly a humiliation, an unbearable shame for them!


    When had these outstanding soldiers ever suffered such a blow? If this matter were to spread, where would China''s prestige go?


    Forget prestige, the people present would not be able to bear the regret in their hearts!


    At this moment, everyone was extremely furious. They wished they could immediately send the most advanced cruisers to the area of the wreckage to capture that hateful sea monster.


    The projector showed the closest photo of the sea monster to date.


    "Everyone, this photo was taken by our brave soldiers during theirst moments!"


    The projector showed a huge head covered in golden scales.


    Its eyes were shaped like green beans, and they emitted a terrifying ferocity.


    There were still fragments of various fish carcasses between its dense teeth in its inverted triangr-shaped mouth.


    "It was this monster that hurt our warriors! Its strength is roughly equivalent to an early six-star cultivator."


    A muscr officer clenched his fist, which made a crisp sound.


    At this moment, Wu Mo noticed that the creature was indeed different from anything they had seen. It did not look like any other species in the world.


    Eventually, a famous paleontologist walked in.


    He was already in his sixties. He adjusted his sses and observed the scene carefully. After he cleared his throat twice, he slowly said, "This creature is somewhat simr to the ancient dinosaurs. To analyze it urately, we may need to capture a certain number of samples."


    A remnant of an ancient dinosaur?


    Wu Mo could not help but be shocked. Could it be that the dinosaurs that were once the overlords of the Earth were notpletely extinct?


    There were actually descendants?


    "But didn''t the ancient dinosaurs gopletely extinct?" an officer could not help but ask. If they''ve existed, then why haven''t their huge bodies been discovered?"


    " Yes." The paleontologist nodded and replied," The ocean world is vast and boundless. There are many unknown areas. It''s very likely that there have been descendants of plesiosaurs in the ocean. This is amon consensus in paleobiology."


    Only then did everyone understand that it might be a descendant of a plesiosaur.


    When they observed the image again andbined it with a previous full-body image. It indeed had simr characteristics.


    "I hope you''ll find a way to obtain a specimen of this creature so that it will be much easier to identify its true identity!"


    The old chief nodded and issued his order seriously.


    Obviously, the casualties of the soldiers were a heavy blow to him!


    When else had such an ambitious old chief ever suffered such embarrassment?


    Wu Mo thought to himself that the old chief might send people to the sea area where the ident would happen next. The intensity of this operation would definitely be much greater than before!


    As expected, the old chief issued an order that surprised Wu Mo. He was sending gically-enhanced warriors to the sea area to increase the intensity of their attacks.


    After some observation, the drug in these gically-enhanced warriors were performing well. It was time for them to go on an expedition for China!


    At first, the old chief had nned to wait for these soldiers to reach a sufficient scale before they were given priority to deal with the foreign races in the Nine Provinces.


    Now that the situation was urgent, there was no harm in letting them test their might on these monsters first.


    All parties attached great importance when selecting the elite warriors to carry out special missions in the shipwreck area.


    That was because the outstandingpany of soldiers had encountered an unknown creature and suffered heavy casualties!


    They could see that the unknown creature''sbat strength was extremely powerful, so they had to be careful.


    Otherwise, future soldiers would be defeated and encounter simr incidents.


    The old chief specifically sought Wu Mo''s opinion on the matter.

 Chapter 464 A Shocking Live Stream

    After all, Wu Mo was a weapon expert. The elite warriors were his creation, so he had to decide what weapons they should carry.


    However, what Wu Mo did not expect was that at this moment, Phantom Wolf actually volunteered to follow the gic warriors to the sea area where the ident had taken ce!


    "Phantom Wolf, there''s no need to do this. The old chief doesn''t intend to send you there, and don''t you have your own matters to deal with?" Wu Mo asked.


    Phantom Wolf shook his head, but this burly man''s eyes revealed a resolute light!


    "Wu Mo, I''ve already taken the gene strengthening drug, and my body has improved significantly. If I don''t contribute to China, won''t I be useless?"


    Phantom Wolf understood. He had taken the gene strengthening drug, and his physical strength had greatly increased. Now that China was in danger, if he did not step forward, what was the point of the drug?


    Wu Mo was unable to persuade him, so he had no choice but to inform the old chief of his intentions.


    The old chief nodded in agreement and praised Phantom Wolf''s determination.


    In his military career, he respected such heroic spirits who would rather die on the battlefield than be humiliated.


    Phantom Wolf''s determination made the old chief reevaluate him.


    In the end, Phantom Wolf became a member of the expedition list.


    Fifty gically-enhanced warriors were selected, and they immediately headed to the site to carry out a special mission.


    Their ultimate goal was to obtain a specimen of the golden creature.


    ording to recent events, the golden creature might not be as ferocious as the giant octopus, but its destructive power far exceeded that of the octopus.


    These two creatures seemed to be mutually exclusive. Although there were many octopuses, their individualbat power was not as good as the golden creature''s.


    Yet, Wu Mo noticed that this operation had to be announced through a live stream.


    He found the old chief and suggested that the operation be kept a secret. He did not know what kind of unexpected scenes would appear in the live stream.


    However, the old chief shook his head and smiled bitterly. "But this is the wish of the higher-ups. The matter will be exposed sooner orter, and the public needs the truth.


    The old chief patted Wu Mo''s shoulder and continued, "We can think positively and use the live stream to show China''s iron-blooded methods. We can prove to the world that our warriors can conquer all difficulties, including the sea and unknown terrifying creatures!"


    Wu Mo nodded, admitting that this made sense, but he still had a bad feeling in his heart.


    He felt that this live stream might cause a storm.


    The live stream soon began, and the audience was surprised to see the livestream room.


    Then, they saw a medium-sized cruiser on the screen slowly heading toward the southeast coast.


    In the distance, the waves were rolling and surging. The huge waves kept hitting the ship, and it created a dull roar.


    The fifty gically-enhanced warriors on the cruiser had sharp and determined gazes as well as radiant faces. They were fully armed and well-equipped, so theirbat strength had risen to a new level.


    "Wow, what''s going on in the live stream? Is it a military exercise?"


    "Look, this cruiser seems to be from the southeastern sea. Are they holding a drill along the southeast coast?"


    "Hmm, why are they streaming this? And the warriors'' equipment has a very unusual appearance!"


    "Everyone, look! This sea area seems very turbulent. Isn''t it too dangerous to conduct a drill in such a ce?"


    There was an endless stream of spectators. Regardless of whether they understood the drill or not, they all joined in to watch.


    Such live streams were rare, and it attracted a lot of interest.


    Before long, the number of online viewers had exceeded five million, and the number was still rising rapidly.


    Amid the crowd, Phantom Wolf stared at the sea without blinking.


    The pistol by his waist was different from the others. It was given to him by Wu Mo before he left.


    This pistol was a small toy that Wu Mo had created during his spare time. It was an automatic locking electromaic pistol.


    It was equipped with a blue high-definition lock-on sight, which could greatly reduce external influences.


    This electromaic pistol could fire up to five shots, and its power was several times stronger than ordinary electromaic pistols.


    The weapon''s purpose was to pierce through the golden scales of monsters.


    However, even Wu Mo had doubts about its prative power.


    After all, the previous fierce firepower had failed to prate the armor, so no one knew what its upper limit was.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    At this moment, the waves on the surface of the sea suddenly surged as if they were going to swallow the cruiser.


    Witnessing the scene, the cruiser immediately slowed down and activated automatic defense mode.


    The eighteen electromaic cannons slowly turned and aimed at the huge shadow in the distance.


    The ck shadow that was stirred up by the waves approached quickly. Although its true appearance could not be seen clearly, one could roughly tell its movement trajectory.


    "Fire!"


    The power of the electromaic pulse cannon was astonishing, like the thunder of the apocalypse.


    Rumble!


    Themander was sure that at least a few of the electromaic cannon shots hit the shadow.


    Dark green blood sttered on the surface of the sea, dyeing the surrounding water green.


    The millions of livestream viewers were dumbfounded. Only then did they realize that this was not an ordinary exercise!


    "Oh, my God, isn''t this a drill? How is this possible? What was that shadow in the distance?"


    "Look! The electromaic cannons fired at the same time, and the scene was terrifying! Nothing couldst more than three minutes under such firepower!"


    "Look! The soldiers on the deck are starting to move. They''re leaving the warship in a small lifeboat. What are they doing?"


    The audience had sharp eyes and noticed that in the corner of the screen, a few soldiers were riding a small, specially made lifeboat, breaking through the waves and heading straight for the ck shadow in front.


    At this moment, themand center determined that the electromaic pulse cannon had severely injured the mysterious underwater creature, so they sent out several gically-enhanced warriors to carry out a "Sharp Knife" operation. They went deep into the sea area ahead to kill the monster and at least bring back a specimen.


    The dark green blood floating on the surface of the sea was the specimen.


    After the lifeboat rushed out, the soldiers quickly collected blood samples.


    Immediately after, a soldier discovered that about 200 meters away from the lifeboat, although it was covered by the waves, a tentacle could be seen rolling and twisting as if it had been injured.


    At this moment, the live broadcast was synchronized to the base.


    The old chief, Wu Mo, and the other officers stared at the screen intently.


    The gically-enhanced warriors on the lifeboat raised their assault rifles and fired wildly at the tentacles.


    Ratatata!


    After a few gunshots, the tentacle instantly broke into two pieces.


    The huge tentacle floated on the surface of the sea, and the scene was soul-stirring!


    When the tentacles floated closer to the waves, the audience instantly held their breaths and became nervous.


    "Heavens, what is this?!"


    In their horror, the audience saw that the tentacle was twenty meters long and about two meters in diameter. The hundreds of suckers on it were likerge washbasins, which was terrifying.


    Each sucker was like a small ck hole, emitting a deep and terrifying aura!


    The blood-red suckers slowly contracted, and each time they expanded, they stirred up waves that shocked everyone.


    "Do these look like the tentacles of the deep sea king, the Giant Sable Squid?"


    "No, it can''t be! Wrong, the Giant Sable Squid is at most twenty meters long, and its tentacles are twenty meters long, not including its body!"


    "It''s even more terrifying than the Giant Sable Squid! What is it? Why isn''t there a title for this live stream?"


    The audience was nervous as it wondered what kind of creature the military soldiers were hunting.


    Everyone guessed that the real culprit behind the recent news of the sea ident had been exposed, which was why they sent such elite warriors to carry out a dangerous mission.


    The reason why this scene was made public was to let the people believe that the soldiers had the ability to deal with emergencies.


    In the end, the tentacle slowly floated in front of them. The soldiers firmly fixed it with spikes and then dragged it back to the cruiser with a lifeboat.


    However, at this moment, everyone eximed!


    Wu Mo, the old chief, and the others in the centralmand center of the base stood up abruptly.


    "Retreat quickly!"

 Chapter 465 Sudden Change

    The old chief shouted, but he realized that he was thousands of miles away from the scene and could not give direct orders.


    Wu Mo''s pupils trembled violently, and the corners of his mouth twitched.


    A golden head slowly emerged from the surface of the sea less than fifty meters away from the lifeboat. It had a pair of huge dark green eyes on its face!


    The soldiers on the lifeboat sensed that something was wrong. They turned around and were scared out of their wits.


    "Fire!"


    The soldiers sweated profusely as they desperately pulled the trigger.


    ck ck...


    The soldiers fired as hard as they could towards the cruiser.


    At this moment, the warriors on the deck of the cruiser also noticed the situation. Phantom Wolf gritted his teeth and opened fire, trying to stop the monsters from approaching.


    The golden-scaled monster had appeared!


    Everyone watching the live stream was shocked, and they broke out in cold sweat for the soldiers on the rescue boat.


    The monster''s inverted triangr mouth opened and bit forward!


    A few soldiers were quick-witted and decisive. They abandoned the ship and jumped into the sea during this critical moment. They quickly swam toward the cruiser.


    The warriors on the deck quickly responded and brought them back to the ship with great difficulty.


    Whoosh...


    The soldiers panted heavily, and fear was evident in their words.


    They were almost eaten by a monster!


    "Look, what is that?"


    The scene had changed again. The moment the golden monster appeared, a huge whirlpool rolled on the seabed in the distance. A tentacle that was fifty meters long shot out of the sea and pointed at the sky. It was shocking!


    "Oh, my God, isn''t this a submarine-guide creature from the bottom of the sea? No wonder it''s so earth-shattering!"


    The audience suddenly realized that there was such a special live stream was made public because of such a major event!


    There was a shocking truth hidden in the ident in the southeast sea. An unknown terrifying monster was lurking there.


    It sounded like a legend, but it really existed.


    "Not just one, at least two!"


    The sharp-eyed audience noticed that other than the giant tentacle monster, there was also a monster that swallowed the rescue boat. It was not the same monster.


    At this moment, tentacles emerged from all directions and gathered toward the golden-scaled monster!


    The base''s centralmand center was nervous. Wu Mo predicted that the golden-scaled monster''sbat power would surpass the tentacle monster.


    As expected, the golden monster''s inverted triangr mouth instantly bit off several tentacles.


    A fierce battle between unknown creatures unfolded, and the tragic scene was disyed before the cruiser without any concealment.


    The warriors on the deck were silent as they watched the battle intently.


    All of a sudden, the highest order was issued,[You must find a way to obtain a specimen of the golden-scaled monster!]


    The centralmand center unanimously agreed that the golden-scaled monster was a greater threat to humans than the giant-tentacled monster!


    At this moment, the monster''s inverted triangr mouth kept biting off more than twenty tentacles.


    Immediately after, the monster''s head disappeared from the surface of the sea. The seawater churned and the entire sea area shook crazily!


    The cruiser swayed along with it and appeared extremely unstable.


    The audience held their breaths and were extremely nervous, afraid that they would see an unexpected scene!


    Such a live stream had a huge impact. If anything abnormal happened, the consequences would be unimaginable!


    People from all over the world were paying attention to this battle. They would definitely win!


    Finally, the battle at the bottom of the sea came to an end. Half of the golden-scaled monster''s head was revealed. Its scales were wless and covered in blood, but it was unharmed.


    The monster''s bean-like eyes shone with a fierce light as it let out a bird-like cry.


    Gu gu gu¡­


    The monster floated out of the water, and a huge corpse floated in the distant sea.


    Be it the soldiers on the deck, the officers in themand center, the old chief, or Wu Mo, they were all rendered speechless!


    A terrifying squid that was seventy to eighty meters long was before them. Its tentacles were shattered, and its huge eyeball was hollowed out, leaving behind dark green blood.


    There were also several other simrly huge cuttlefish that were heavily injured and dying, but they tried to drag the golden-scaled monster along with them!


    "D*mn it! What kind of squid is this? Could it be the legendary Titan Squid?" An officer in themand center hammered the table and said in disbelief.


    The Titan Squid only existed in legends and was mostly passed down through folk tales.


    In today''s world, thergest mollusk was the Giant Lava Squid, and the Titan Squid was regarded as a legend.


    The size of this squid far exceeded that of the Giant Sable Squid. Could it be the Titan Squid?


    "Let''s end this quickly! Target locked!"


    The cruiser gave the order, and the heavy weapons focused on the head above the sea and opened fire instantly!


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The golden scales shattered instantly, and themand center rejoiced.


    Wu Mo sighed. "Finally, I''ve broken through its defense. I thought its scales were invincible!"<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    The golden scales shattered, and a pir of golden blood shot into the sky.


    "Oh, my God! Golden blood!"


    Everyone was shocked. Where did this creaturee from?


    The audience was also drawn to the golden blood. It was like a miracle in a movie or novel.


    It was well known that the blood of mammals and some cold-blooded animals was red, while the blood of a few reptiles was green.


    However, golden blood was unheard!


    This blood was shocking and unbelievable.


    The scale armor shattered, the monster could not bear it anymore and revealed its true body!


    Its huge body was as smooth as a bear, without scales. Its long neck was like a snake, more than ten meters long!


    "Plesiosaurus! This is definitely a serpent!"


    The paleontologist was extremely excited.


    The existence of the ancient plesiosaur had always been controversial, and the academicmunity had not reached a consensus.


    Paleontologists were very interested in the study of the plesiosaurus, but they had been unable to find conclusive evidence.


    Now that a living ancient plesiosaur descendant had appeared in front of them, how could they stop their excitement?


    "Hurry! Hurry! He had to capture a plesiosaur specimen and study its genes immediately!" the paleologist urged urgently.


    Seeing the golden-scaled beast emerge from the surface, the warriors led by Phantom Wolf opened fire.


    With the size of the cruiser, the scaled behemoth would not be able to destroy it!


    The warriors used the cover fire to get closer and aimed at the broken scales, which caused secondary damage.


    The Titan Squid attacked the golden beast together with them!


    The giant beast that looked like a descendant of an ancient dragon could not hold on any longer and attempted to escape.


    Wu Mo realized that the giant beast''s neck was too long to support its head, and its movements were clumsy.


    It was a great opportunity to kill the giant beast and disy the strength of the gic warriors of China!


    The warriors were fearless, their cold gazes fixed on the giant beast that was trying to escape.


    A sudden change urred.


    Whoosh!


    Strange things happened again in the sea.


    The first to notice were the gic warriors that were approaching the giant beast, including Phantom Wolf.


    A whirlpool appeared on the surface of the sea, spinning and absorbing the blood around it.


    "What is this?"


    Everyone stared at the screen in panic.


    "Retreat! Retreat immediately!" themander ordered the cruiser.


    Phantom Wolf and the soldiers aimed their guns at the golden beast, ready to kill it at any moment.


    Obtaining biological specimens, whether dead or alive.


    Everyone was more concerned about what was hidden under the vortex.


    Wu Mo suddenly felt his heart tighten, as if he had an ominous feeling.


    The twenty million viewers in the live broadcast room stared at the whirlpool, and the bulletments disappeared for a moment.


    "Heavens, what is this?"


    A golden head rose from the vortex.


    The golden head emerged from the water surface, and a pair of huge green bean eyes sparkled. The hard golden scales were densely covered.


    Although it was slightly smaller than the giant beast from before, the difference was not big.


    Then, the second, third, and even the fifth head appeared.


    In a short minute, more than twenty golden scaled monsters appeared.


    "Retreat! Retreat!"


    Themander hurriedly ordered the cruiser to retreat.


    However, the speed of its retreat was much slower than the speed of advancement. They were already surrounded by the golden monsters.


    The plesiosaur descendant turned clumsily, but it moved quickly in a straight line.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    The golden monsters swarmed over and treated the cruiser as their natural enemy.


    After seeing itspanion, the injured giant beast nced at the cruiser, let out a strange cry, and disappeared into the sea.


    Cuckoo!


    "D*mn it! How could there be so many ancient plesiosaur descendants?"


    In the centralmand center, the old chief''s expression was unpleasant. The situation was unexpected.


    A single cruiser was insufficient to deal with.

 Chapter 466 Fight To The Death

    "Chief, should we dispatch the frigates for support?" the officer asked the old chief.


    The old chief was silent. The live stream was of great importance.


    Killing the golden-scaled monster was originally the best oue, but now that the situation had changed, adding firepower would have a huge impact on the live stream.


    Under everyone''s watchful eyes, this sea area would no longer be peaceful.


    What was even more terrifying was whether these monsters were spread all over the sea and not just limited to this area?


    One day, would they threaten the people living onnd?


    Who could exin all of this?


    Those who wanted to deny this matter, how could they exin that there were more than twenty descendants of plesiosaurs in the sea?


    "Could it be that the plesiosaurus have not gone extinct and are living in the deep sea?"


    The paleontologist took notes nervously, his hands trembling so much that he couldn''t write.


    "More than twenty! The descendants of the plesiosaurs, the era of ancient creatures reappearing?"


    His excited heart could not calm down. He immediately held a video conference with the world''s top paleontologists.


    The authoritative experts who were watching the live broadcast immediately epted the invitation to the conference.


    More than thirty top schrs from around the world held an emergency video conference.


    Everyone was in high spirits as they talked about their views on the descendants of the plesiosaurs.


    However, to find out whether this species was a descendant of a plesiosaur, one would need to obtain a biological specimen.


    More than ten golden scaled monsters charged at the cruiser, using their long necks to smash it.


    The head covered in golden scales was extremely hard, and the deck of the cruiser could not be damaged.


    The huge head and long neck were waving like a huge hammer. The cruiser shook non-stop, and the gic warriors were on the verge of copsing.


    Phantom Wolf stepped forward and gritted his teeth. He came to the edge of the deck and aimed his electromaic automatic locking pistol at a monster.


    Phantom Wolf aimed at Green Bean''s eyes and cursed, "Go to hell!"


    The electromaic gun fired five bullets.


    Da da da da da da!


    With his superb shooting skills, five bullets hit Monster''s eyes without a doubt.


    This time, it was as if he had triggered a dormant ho''s nest.


    Five bullets dealt fatal damage to the monster. The bullets went through its eyes and hit its brain.


    The monster slowly sank to the bottom of the sea, and golden blood filled the surroundings.


    Phantom Wolf confidently blew on the muzzle of his gun. "No matter how strong you monsters are, you can''t block bullets!"


    This matter caused the other monsters to be furious, and their strange cries rose and fell.


    The crazed monsters charged towards the cruiser.


    Boom!


    The front half of the cruiser was violently lifted.


    "Good heavens!" The gic warriors were thrown into the cabin.


    The old chief ordered two frigates to be sent out as reinforcements, bringing along arge fishing to capture the golden scaled monster.


    "China''s technology can lock them all in cages!"


    An officer revealed his sharp eyes and quickly left themand room.


    He decided to personallymand the frigate to capture these golden scaled monsters and see who was behind them.


    At this moment, Wu Mo was feeling nervous. Although the frigate and cruiserbination had a huge firepower suppression, making it easier to harvest, he was still worried.


    People thought there was only one gold-scaled monster, but now there were more than twenty.


    Who knew if twenty was the limit?


    Wu Mo was full of worries. The modern Titan Squid and other creatures at the bottom of the sea meant that they were plotting something.


    Now, it seemed that the descendants of the ancient plesiosaurs had appeared. There were many of them, and they were highly intelligent. They were filled with hatred and revenge against humans.


    All of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Looking at the world map, the only country in the nearby sea area was the Cherry Blossom Kingdom.


    The Cherry Blossom Kingdom was made up of severalrge inds, surrounded by small inds.


    The country had been banned from conducting certain experiments worldwide, but recently there had been repeated news of secret experiments and marine pollution.


    Were the descendants of the plesiosaurs and the Titan Squid innocent victims of the contamination?


    Wu Mo only dared to guess because this matter was not trivial and hecked evidence.


    However, something unexpected happened. Before the two frigates could move, the cruiser was already being held down by the monsters from all directions. It was actually being dragged in the water!


    "D*mn it! Full firepower, turn southeast and crush this monster!" themander roared.


    The cruiser was unable to fight against more than twenty monsters. Their bodies were terrifying, reaching forty to fifty meters in length and their necks were more than ten meters long.


    Immediately after, Phantom Wolf proposed the assassination n, and the entire deck fell silent.


    "I only need a raft to enter the water!"


    Phantom Wolf looked at themander firmly, waiting for his order.


    Themander was helpless. Although he felt that Phantom Wolf''s words were reasonable, there were many risks.


    When the monsters got close to the bottom of the ship, except for the submarine, the cannons of the cruiser would lose their threat and might even self-destruct.


    It was inevitable that the submarine would identally injure its target.


    In this dilemma, Phantom Wolf''s suggestion of a sharp knife assassination was the solution.


    "How confident are you?" themander asked.


    Phantom Wolf pondered for a moment and then raised seven fingers.


    "Alright, choose two people and move in groups of three!" Themander took a deep breath.


    Phantom Wolf chose two or three people to quietly open the ship''s secret cabin and enter the water to take the raft.


    The target was a golden scaled monster in the southeast direction. It was small and seemed to be underage.


    It waved its golden head and dragged the ship in a specific direction.


    At this moment, the live stream was focused on Phantom Wolf and the other two. A sad atmosphere filled the hearts of everyone in the live stream.


    At this critical moment, the brave and fearless heroes stepped forward to defend China''s glory!


    "That''s right, please remember these three warriors! Faced with the immense pressure of life and death, they did not hesitate to carry out the assassination. Such courage was precious!"


    "That being said, I still hope that these outstanding warriors will pay attention to their own safety."


    "Sigh, I think it''s best to directly send out warships and use ultra-long-range missiles to destroy the base of these monsters."


    "Citadel! Can you find their ce of origin?"


    Although this direct and effective suggestion was simple, it attracted opposition.


    "The base of these monsters may be located at the bottom of the sea thousands of meters deep.


    No warship missile could reach such a depth, and even a nuclear submarine could not urately aim at a target thousands of meters below the sea floor."


    Facing this technical problem, Wu Mo couldn''t help but think about the future direction.


    "We need to develop a ship-borne missile that can lock onto the bottom of the sea about eight thousand meters¡­No, it was better to install such a missile on the next-powered submarine, otherwise it would be a waste of the missile''s performance."


    At the same time, Phantom Wolf and the other two warriors had already quietly approached the back of the golden scaled monster.


    Kill!


    Phantom Wolf let out a deep roar. His facial features were distorted and his eyes were red. It was as if an envoy from hell had descended.


    Da da da da!


    Three outstanding gic warriors fired their machine guns at the monster at close range.


    This round of intense firepowernded on the back of the golden scaled monster, and Phantom Wolf deliberately opened fire into the sea.


    He knew that the monster''s long neck was slow to turn. If he could fatally injure its neck with bullets, it would be a heavy live target in the sea.


    The firepower continued to sweep through, and the golden scale armor was finally pierced through.


    This also meant that even though the monsters had thick scales, the concentrated firepower was enough to break through their defenses.


    Perhaps this golden scaled monster had yet to fully mature, and its scales had yet to reach their peak.

 Chapter 467 The Sample Has Finally Been Obtained

    Cuckoo...


    The shrieks from the golden-scaled monster were filled with pain and sorrow. It was clearly calling for itspanions toe and rescue it.


    Whoosh!


    The water around the ship suddenly surged, and the two golden-scaled monsters that were closest to it sped over.


    "Collect biological samples and evacuate immediately!"


    Phantom Wolf waved his hand in a hurry, and two outstanding gically-modified warriors steered the leather raft toward the ce where the golden liquid was floating.


    Then, they noticed a broken scale floating on the surface of the water. One of the warriors gritted his teeth and jumped into the sea.


    Wow!


    At this moment, the nearly thirty million viewers in the live stream were all sweating!


    "Heavens, this is too dangerous!"


    The warrior had jumped into the sea, and he was about to face an unknown sea monster.


    However, the warrior was agile. He quickly swam to a distance of more than ten meters and grabbed the floating scale with precision before quickly swimming back to the raft.


    However, they had wasted precious time with the battle, and the two golden-scaled monsters were already closing in!


    "D*mn it! Hurry up and retreat to the ship. I''ll cover you!" Phantom Wolfshouted angrily and pushed the two gic warriors away.


    "But what about you?"


    Tears started to form in the eyes of the two soldiers.


    Phantom Wolf shook his head and sternly said, "Don''t worry about me. I was the first one to take the gene strengthening drug, and the level of my strengthening is higher than yours. Don''t you have faith in me?"


    His entire body exuded a murderous aura that made people dare not look directly at him.


    The two warriors understood that Phantom Wolf was fighting so that they would have chance of survival. If they wasted it, they would be stepping on Phantom Wolf''s dignity and life.


    They quickly turned around and steered the raft toward the cruiser.


    However, the current on the surface of the sea waspletely chaotic, and the raft could not move forward at all.


    Dozens of meters away from the cruiser, the soldiers looked anxiously at the surface of the sea, but they were unable to provide support.


    If they opened fire rashly, they would likely injure theirrades by ident and anger those monsters, which would then elerate their own destruction.


    In themand center, Wu Mo and the old chief stared at the screen without blinking. It felt like they were on a roller coaster.


    Wu Mo silently praised in his heart, ''Phantom Wolf, you really are a tough man!"


    Seeing Phantom Wolf jump into the sea decisively, he quickly pushed the raft closer to the cruiser.


    He broke through the waves as he held the electromaic automatic lock gun that Wu Mo had given him, andunched a fierce attack on a monster.


    "Come on, b*stard! Come on!"


    Da da da da.


    Phantom Wolf used all his strength and shot out a hundred bullets. Five bullets urately hit monster''s eyes.


    Under the restraint of the high-level blue light locking device, the monster could not dodge no matter how much it struggled.


    After the monster was hit, its blood spurted wildly. It opened its bloody mouth in anger and tried to bite the old chief!


    "D*mn it!"


    He clenched his fists tightly and cursed angrily.


    Wu Mo widened his eyes in disbelief. "Is Phantom Wolf going to be devoured by the monster?"


    In the live stream, the audience''s mood instantly worsened. This was a really frightening scene!


    "No! Phantom Wolf, hurry up and get back here!


    The two gic warriors whom Phantom Warrior had saved approached the ship and shouted anxiously.


    One of the soldiers wanted to jump into the sea, but hisrade held on to tightly. He shouted with tears in his eyes, "If you do this, Phantom Wolf will save us!"


    Their hearts were filled with anger, but they could only watch everything happen.


    In the next moment, Phantom Wolf dived into the sea at the critical moment and quickly sank. He narrowly missed the fatal blow.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    When he surfaced again, the seawater was dyed red.


    A severed arm poked out of the water and shocked everyone as it floated quietly.


    Oh no, it was Phantom Wolf''s arm!


    At this moment, Wu Mo could clearly see the seawater throw Phantom Wolf''s severed arm into the monster''s mouth.


    Phantom Wolf''s face was pale and cold sweat was dripping down his forehead. His entire body was trembling.


    However, his strong will supported him to hold on tightly to the rope hisrades had thrown down. He barely managed to hang onto the hook at his waist before he fainted.


    A group of gically-enhanced warriors quickly carried Phantom Wolf into the cabin and started to perform emergency bleeding control and treatment.


    However, right then, a deafening sound came from below the deck!


    "D*mn it, are these guys crazy?" the chief could not help but curse.


    As expected, the monstersunched their most frenzied attacks.


    Due to Phantom Wolf''s broken arm and the failure of this operation, the cruiser had no choice but to retreat temporarily.


    As the golden-scaled monsters moved, the cruiser finally regained control. It slowly changed course and headed toward a safe ce.


    Now that the distance between them had increased, the dozens of electromaic cannons on the cruiser yed a key role.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The cannons bombarded the surface of the sea, causing waves to roll. Blood and mes interweaved and shot dozens of meters into the air from time to time.


    Such a thrilling scene once again shocked the audience in the live stream. Their emotions reached another peak as if they were riding a roller coaster.


    "Hurry up and retreat. Don''t go out there anymore. Those sea monsters are too terrifying!"


    "Sigh, I didn''t expect such a terrifying creature to be hiding in the depths of the sea. So the plots in those movies and TV shows aren''t all fictional!"


    "Impossible! How could that be a monster? It has be some unknown giant creature at the bottom of the sea. Monsters are too unrealistic. We live in an era of technological civilization!"


    "Hehe, technological civilization? The so-called science is only the holy man''s field of knowledge. How can you deny things outside the scope of science?"


    The viewers in the live stream were suddenly enlightened, but at the same time, they also had a heated debate.


    At this moment, Wu Mo could clearly see from the screen that several golden-scaled monsters had disappeared as if they had entered the deep sea.


    "Fire!" Wu Mo quickly shouted. "Prevent the monsters from attacking the bottom of the cruiser!"


    Wu Mo''s judgment was very urate. The old chief nodded in agreement and immediately issued an order to the front line.


    After receiving the order, the cruiser immediately activated the underwater electromaic pulse cannon and bombarded the water.


    After a series of fierce attacks, a few golden-scaled monsters fled into the distance with blood on their bodies.


    The intelligence of these monsters was so high that they had already formed a social structure simr to that of humans.


    Wu Mo''s heart was heavy. Although he had obtained a sample of the golden-scaled monster, strictly speaking, the operation was not a sess.


    Dozens of gically-enhanced warriors and the terrifying firepower of the cruisers had caused Phantom Wolf to lose an arm.


    Moreover, this operation had been carried out publicly on a live stream. No one would be satisfied with how things ended.


    All the officers and old chief in the central controlmand center looked worried.


    After such a thing happened, their shoulders felt heavy.


    The cruiser slowly sailed toward the harbor as it fired at full power and dragged a long tail of waves.


    Behind him, there were more than ten golden-scaled monsters.


    However, they soon disappeared from the sea.


    Soon, the specimen and the injured Phantom Wolf were sent to the base.


    The paleontologist and his team quickly began their intense research.


    However, the origin of the golden-scaled creature was mysterious. It would take some time to figure out itsposition and DNA identification.


    Paleontologists and medical experts worked together to study it. They estimated that the final conclusion would take at least two to three days to form.

 Chapter 468 A Monster With Intelligence

    When Wu Mo stepped into the emergency medical center, and his heart was filled with endless worry.


    Phantom Wolf had lost an arm in the battle. He was tormented by blood loss and fainting spells, as though he was wandering between life and death.


    Fortunately, Phantom Wolf had strengthened genes flowing through his body, which made him a tenacious fighter.


    Otherwise, he would have died long ago in the polluted seawater.


    "Chief Wu, Phantom Wolf''s condition has stabilized. Although he still needs twenty-four hours to wake up, he''s out of danger," adoctor in a white coat reported to Wu Mo.


    Wu Mo let out a long sigh of relief. The heavy burden in his heart was finally lifted.


    However, Phantom Wolf seemed to be more tenacious than they had imagined. After a short five hours, he woke up.


    At this moment, Wu Mo arrived at the ICU and looked at Phantom Wolf, who had just woken up.


    Phantom Wolf was expressionless as if he did not notice Wu Mo''s arrival. He stared ahead nkly.


    "I don''t know how tofort you, but I believe in your strong will. Even if you lose an arm, it''s not enough to defeat you," Wu Mo said emotionally.


    This seemed to touch Phantom Wolf, and his eyes finally reignited with fighting spirit.


    "Chief Engineer Wu!" Phantom Wolf smiled bitterly. "I was a warrior, but now that I''ve lost my sharp weapon, how can I win glory for my country?"


    Wu Mo pondered for a moment and said, "You are still the alpha wolf, even if you''re a one-armed alpha wolf. Haven''t you heard of a phoenix rising from the ashes? Perhaps this is an opportunity for you to train your One-handed Spear Technique to perfection."


    One-handed Spear Technique?


    Phantom Wolf''s eyes sparkled.


    "I have to pull myself together. I''m the one-armed alpha wolf! How can we be dispirited?" he said.


    However, Wu Mo was not in a rxed mood.


    Nowadays, there were new updates to weapons with each passing day, especially the blue light automatic aiming device.


    The One-handed Spear Technique was just a gimmick to reignite Phantom Wolf''s desire for life.


    After Wu Mo left, the old chief called for a small meeting at thest minute.


    Only Wu Mo and a few other elite officers, as well as some key department heads, were present.


    There were no more than twenty people there, and the chief personally hosted the meeting.


    A cold gaze yed repeatedly on the projector screen.


    It was a pair of eyes from the depths of the sea, filled with indescribable hatred. They flickered with a terrifying light in the dark environment.


    The owner of these eyes was extremely intelligent and skilled at spotting the cameras. It seemed to know that someone had been using high-tech means to track it.


    Driven by a strong desire for revenge, it deliberately looked into the camera to convey a message: The hatred between its kin and the humans would not dissipate easily.


    Wu Mo could not help but ask, "Sir, how did you get this?"


    "Wu Mo, something unimaginable has already happened. There were originally eight Deep Sea Eyes, but now only one remains. Only this one found their tracks and captured this photo."


    "What?! The Deep Sea Eyes were actually destroyed?"


    This shocked Wu Mo.


    The Deep Sea Eye was located about eight thousand meters below the sea floor. Its defensive outeryer was extremely hard, and the doubleyered tempered ss provided multipleyers of protection.


    The golden-scaled monster could actually destroy such powerful defense?


    Moreover, the remaining Deep Sea Eye was preserved. Did the golden-scaled monsters do this on purpose?


    Otherwise, why would they mock the remaining Deep Sea Eye?<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "This is too terrifying! These monsters have already begun to show human intelligence, and the number of our discoveries are increasing. They definitely have a nest, and there are even more of their kind buried there!" an officer said through gritted teeth.


    At this moment, all the elite officers were filled with anger!


    They yearned to use war weapons topletely eradicate these monsters.


    However, in the face of the vast sea and the elusive monster, an irresistible sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart.


    No matter how advanced the weapons and equipment of mankind were, they could only show off their power onnd, on the sea, and in the air.


    In the face of the bottomless ocean, the power of human weapons seemed insignificant.


    Everyone present understood this, and the old chief was naturally aware of it.


    He looked at Wu Mo and habitually asked for his opinion.


    Wu Mo thought for a moment and suggested, "I heard that this live stream has caused a strong reaction among the people. They''re all petitioning for us to use our war weapons to kill the golden-scaled monsters on arge scale and return a peaceful world to them."


    Everyone expressed their agreement. This incident had attracted widespread attention.


    Due to the absurd incident of Phantom Wolf losing his arm and the cruiser almost being controlled, the pressure from all sides was getting heavier.


    Wu Mo also suggested, "Send a conventional nuclear powered aircraft carrier to patrol the area of the ident and within a thousand nautical miles."


    He paused and continued, "At the same time, deploy nuclear submarines to monitor underwater. Once any abnormalities are detected, fire immediately without hesitation."


    The officers all agreed, and their eyes were full of approval for Wu Mo.


    At this critical moment, if they did not send out the nuclear powered aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines, the situation would worsen.


    The old chief agreed to Wu Mo''s suggestion and instructed him to continue developing more Deep Sea Eyes because one was obviously not enough.


    Wu Mo epted this difficult task. Even though he knew that the Deep Sea Eyes might be damaged again, he still did not hesitate to invest in research and development.


    This was a project that did not care about the cost, and the returns might be minimal, but Wu Mo had no choice.


    The research and development of the Deep Sea Eye was a long-term investment. If he could not conquer the sea, he had to constantly improve the research and development of his equipment.


    In the face of the difficulties before him, he had to upgrade his stronger equipment to break through them.


    For example, the Deep Sea Eye''s only weakness was its defense.


    ''We can''t do that. We have to make its outer shell stronger. Otherwise, if we put it into the sea again and let those monsters destroy it, wouldn''t it be in vain?'' Wu Mo decided in his heart.


    Thus, he sped up the pace of his development and upgraded the Deep Sea Eye to the Super Deep Sea Eye.


    Its outer shell was extremely hard, and it was equipped with threeyers of tempered ss for external protection. The interior was made of highlyplex synthetic metal, which could filter all foreign objects in the seawater. It could clearly observe the external environment and had the strongest protection.


    Within these twoyers of protection, there was also a huge transparent alloy shield that tightly protected the Deep Sea Eye''s probe.


    There were only a few tiny holes with cameras made ofposite resin inside. They could withstand the water pressure at the bottom of the sea, and they would not be easily broken.


    Observing the upgraded version of the Deep Sea Eye, Wu Mo felt quite satisfied.


    Furthermore, the research and development progress of this Super Deep Sea Eye had already reached more than 90%, and it would be released soon.


    At this moment, the arrival of the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in the sea area shocked many people.


    Those who knew about it were guessing what was going to happen.


    Was there going to be arge-scale exercise?


    After all, this was a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. How many times had there been such a thing in history?

 Chapter 469 Im Afraid Theyre Alien Creatures

    The public was paying close attention to the movements of the nuclear aircraft carrier.


    What they did not know was that the nuclear submarines had also set off at the same time. A total of three nuclear submarines formed a satellite defense arch and began an all-weather cruise around the aircraft carrier.


    Nuclear submarines were the best equipment to deal with terrifying sea monsters. Once the sea monsters appeared, the nuclear submarines could kill them as quickly as possible!


    Now, Wu Mo''s Super Deep Sea Eye had been upgraded.


    Now, all they needed to do was wait for the paleontologists to reveal theposition and biological characteristics of the creatures.


    Unexpectedly, a piece of news came from the paleontologists. They had encountered an extremely challenging problem in the verification of the golden scale sample.


    "How did this happen? There are actually many minor differences in the DNA match with the ancient plesiosaur!"


    Wu Mo frowned in confusion.


    It would take a lot of time to rearrange and performrge-scaleparison verification.


    The original estimate of two to three days was already impossible to achieve. It might need to be extended for countless days.


    All parties felt helpless, but they had to wait patiently for the results.


    They could only formte targeted measures by figuring out what kind of creature it was.


    The next powered aircraft carrier and three nuclear submarines had begun their daily cruising missions. This stirred something in the public''s hearts.


    For the majority ofizens to receive a satisfactory answer, they had specially set up a 24/7 live stream today.


    Netizens could watch the nuclear aircraft carrier and three nuclear submarines anytime and anywhere through the live stream.


    This was to make up for the dissatisfaction caused by Phantom Wolf''s broken arm incident and the cruiser''s miserable state.


    At this moment, Wu Yi and themoners had a particrly difficult task. They had to give everyone a sense of security with the aircraft carrier.


    However, on this day, more than ten golden heads suddenly poked out of the water''s surface. To their surprise, the golden-scaled monsters had appeared again.


    "There must be a nest! Entering the currenttitude and longitude. There must be a hiding ce for these monsters within five hundred miles!"


    Niu Honggang, themander of the aircraft carrier, had a solemn expression as he observed the area ahead with his binocrs.


    At this moment, the aircraft carrier''s cabin was under emergency control and slowly pushed forward.


    The nuclear submarine had received orders to follow the aircraft carrier.


    The ten plus golden-scaled monsters did not know that a great cmity was about to befall them.


    From time to time, they would pop their heads out and disappear into the distance. Then, they would gather again as if they were ying.


    When the nuclear aircraft carrier discovered the monsters, it sent an image of them directly to themand center.


    The old chief gathered Wu Mo and a group of officers to analyze the monsters'' behavior.


    "Look! These guys scatter and gather at intervals. Are they deliberately luring the aircraft carrier?" an officer could not help but ask.


    It was possible. After all, everyone knew that these monsters had strong mimicking abilities, and their intelligence wasparable to that of a child.


    It was likely that their nest was in the distance since they were acting this way.


    However, what was a nuclear aircraft carrier?


    It was something valuable to a country. It did not matter if it was surrounded by a few small monsters.


    Even if hundreds of such monsters gathered together, it would be difficult to stop the aircraft carrier.


    It slowly approached the sea area, but the golden-scaled monsters were now nowhere to be seen!


    Under the sea, the nuclear submarine urgently searched the area.


    Being a cutting-edge device, its ultrasonic wave detection could urately reflect underwater phenomena that urred eight hundred meters deep. The range of its waves covered a radius of ten nautical miles!


    The ultrasonic waves looked like three small circles that constantly moved at the bottom of the sea as it tried to find traces of the golden monsters.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    However, the result was unexpected!


    The golden monsters had apparently disappeared into thin air.


    "Impossible! How could the creatures disappear just like that? They must have dived to the depths of the sea!"


    Niu Honggang, themander-in-chief of the aircraft carrier, was sharp enough to realize that the monsters might have instantly returned to the bottom of the sea.


    In such a situation, they had to use torpedoes to test the waters.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    The torpedoes shot out from the side of the aircraft carrier like a few meteors. They instantly traveled hundreds of meters into the sea and scattered in all directions!


    Immediately after, a few golden-scaled creatures slowly emerged, which proved that the torpedoes did not miss.


    "Wu Mo, look at their trajectory. They seem to be moving in a semicircle and gathering there!"


    The old chief pointed at a certain point on the screen.


    Wu Mo also noticed their strange way of moving forward. Such continuous semi-circr movement and winding jumps reminded them of a wormhole transition!


    What was going on?


    Was their mastery of such movements just a mere coincidence?


    Wu Mo''s heart was filled with doubt.


    Right then, the screen showed that after the torpedoes hit the monster, golden blood and scales floated on the surface of the water.


    "Don''t stop attacking. There''s no need to keep them alive. We just have to destroy them!" Commander Niu Honggang ordered without hesitation.


    In the midst of public panic, someone had to bear the responsibility for these creatures.


    These monsters had to atone for the sacrifices of the gically-enhanced warriors and Phantom Wolf''s arms.


    They continued to fire the torpedoes, and the nuclear submarine traveled deeper. As such, the range of the fire gradually expanded!


    At this moment, the monsters suffered a huge threat to their lives as they desperately fled underwater.


    "Keep moving forward, increase the search area, and increase the shooting range!" Niu Honggangmanded nervously.


    The high-speed torpedoes were about to undergo an upgrade. They would soon lock onto their invisible underwater targets and attack them!


    Bang bang bang!


    These high-speed torpedoes had a wider range. Although there was a slight deviation in uracy, they were enough to severely injure the enemy!


    Following a round of torpedoes, several monsters were severely injured, and they could no longer control their bodies. Slowly but surely, they floated to the surface of the sea.


    Immediately, a frigate approached the target and used arge to try and catch a dead monster.


    The corpse of a single giant monster was unimaginably heavy. Trying to drag it onto the frigate was undoubtedly a difficult challenge.


    However, this was an urgent task for all parties because people were eager to see what this unparalleled beast looked like and what kind of power it had to attack a cruiser.


    The live stream chat was open while the whole nation watched. The audience could enjoy viewing the dead monster''s corpse up close.


    Someone eximed, "Heavens, this monster is too terrifying! No species on Earth looks like that!"


    When Wu Mo observed the corpse that was about to be harvested up close, he could not help but be shocked.


    Its skin was smooth and scaleless, but its head was covered in hard golden scales. Its thick and sturdy body was like that of a bear, and it had webbed feet.


    This monster did not seem to resemble a sea creature at all, but it was nond creature either. Instead, it was like a new species.


    "Could it really be the offspring of a plesiosaur? If only the paleontologists could give a definite answer now!"


    Regrettably, the paleontologists were still in the midst of their research, and they were unable toe to a conclusion in a short period of time.

 Chapter 470 Storm Mode, The Old Chiefs Choice

    Just as the frigate was about to harvest the giant monster''s corpse, a loud bang suddenly rang out from below the frigate!


    Boom!


    "Oh, no! Retreat quickly!"


    At this moment, the temporarymander on the frigate was stunned. Such a strong vibration and movement undoubtedly meant that the frigate had been attacked by the monsters at the bottom of the sea.


    "How is this happening? Why didn''t the nuclear submarine find them?"


    He immediately suspected something.


    The three nuclear submarines had been constantly escorting them, and they were within five hundred meters of each other.


    How were the monsters approaching them so stealthily?


    Amid this confusing situation, themander-in-chief, Niu Honggang, wasted no time in ordering a nuclear submarine to rush to the scene. He needed it to eliminate the monster that was threatening the frigate.


    However, just five minutester, the nuclear submarine issued a danger alert!


    "Retreat immediately! Retreat!"


    What?


    Retreat?


    Niu Honggang could hardly believe it.


    Under normal circumstances, no matter the mission, the aircraft carrier would be the mainmand base and a mobile fortress at sea. It never had to directly retreat.


    Its so-called retreat would only be a slow change of course as it moved in an arc, but this woulde at a huge price.


    On top of the high fuel consumption, there would also be arge number of moving targets on the sea. This would be extremely disadvantageous to the execution of the mission.


    However, the information from the nuclear submarine was clear. It was impossible to understand what was happening at the bottom of the seafor it to make such a judgment.


    "Respond! Response! What exactly just happened? Please borate," Niu Honggang asked anxiously.


    However, there was no response from the nuclear submarine!


    "This is impossible. How is this possible?"


    Niu Honggang found it unbelievable. He anxiously reported the situation to the central controlmand center.


    "Wu Mo, a nuclear submarine tried to approach the frigate to expel it, but they suddenly lost contact. What do you think?" The old chief''s tone was heavy.


    Faced with such a situation, he had no idea what to do.


    When Wu Mo heard the old chief''s words, the first thing that came to his mind was whether the nuclear submarine was controlled by the monsters.


    But how was that possible?


    The thrust of the nuclear submarine was huge underwater. Even if the monsters joined forces, they would not be able to control the nuclear submarine.


    Getting rid of the monsters should have been easy for the nuclear submarines.


    However, the reality was right before him, and Wu Mo was dumbfounded.


    Suddenly, an extremely crucial message came from the front!


    "Requesting instructions from themand center, requesting instructions from themand center. A huge monster has been discovered. Its body length is over a hundred meters."


    What?


    Its body was over a hundred meters long?


    Everyone at themand center was stunned.


    A huge figure that shone with golden light suddenly rose from the sea. It was far longer than the forty-five- to fifty-meter golden-scaled monster that had appeared before.


    This behemoth had arrived quietly and caused fear to rise in people''s hearts.


    Like a nightmare, the camera captured a shocking scene: A monster that looked like a prehistoric giant beast slowly surfaced from the water.


    Its hundred-meter-long body made the overlord of the sea, the whale, look like a cute little thing.


    More frighteningly, there was a single horn on the head of this giant beast, which pointed at the sky as if it wasining about endless grievances.


    This monster''s huge white ws werepletely different from that of the golden monsters he had previously seen.


    Its ws pped the surface of the sea crazily and smashed at the nuclear submarine mercilessly.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "D*mn it! The nuclear-powered device has been destroyed! It haspletely failed!" The submarinemander roared in anger.


    The nuclear submarine could only push itself through the water as it tried to get rid of the monster''s control, but it was useless.


    "Activate the high-altitude torpedoes and see if we can shatter its ws!"


    The submarinemander anxiously ordered theunch of the high-firing torpedoes.


    However, not only did the firepower fail to stop the monster, it angered it instead.


    The monster roared like a lion and made everyone shudder.


    At the same time, thousands of meters below the sea, huge ck shadows gradually appeared and surged toward the surface of the sea.


    Countless hundred-meter-long golden behemoths surfaced from all directions and stunned the people on the aircraft carrier.


    The millions of viewers in the live broadcast room were bbergasted.


    "Oh, my God, is this a scene from a science fiction movie?"


    "These monsters are over a hundred meters long!"


    "That''s impossible, right? What kind of secret is there under the sea? These monsters have suddenly be so huge!"


    The aircraft carrier was experiencing a huge crisis. The surrounding monsters were like ferocious hunting beasts, and they made people shudder.


    The live stream audience was panicking because they were worried and afraid at the same time. Those who had a phobia of the deep sea could not look at the terrifying scene.


    Numerous giant beasts that were more than a hundred meters tall gathered on the surface of the sea. Their aura was like a rainbow, and it was an extremely shocking sight.


    Niu Honggang, themander-in-chief of the powered aircraft carrier, was extremely anxious. He did not know how to deal with such a situation and could only ask themand center for instructions.


    "Wu Mo, let''s go! Let''s go to the southeastern coast and take a look!"


    The old chief did not hesitate. He brought Wu Mo with him and prepared to board a floating shuttle to the southeastern coast.


    They could not just sit back and do nothing. They had to be there in person to make a better decision based on the actual situation and surrounding environment.


    Wu Mo and a few other officers prepared to head to the sea.


    With the help of the floating shuttle, the time it took for them to arrive was greatly shortened.


    The sea was already on the verge of exploding. Although the monsters were huge in size andrge in number, they were helpless against the following powered aircraft carriers.


    Even so, it was not easy for the aircraft carriers to quickly get out of their predicament. After all, there was a fleet around them. These small ships were in danger when facing the terrifying monsters.


    Niu Honggang, who was on the scene, quickly stabilized the situation.


    "Retreat immediately and use the mothership as a cover to avoid the monsters'' attack."


    Not long after, the old chief and Wu Mo arrived.


    When they boarded the mothership and saw the situation around them, they felt even more terrified of the monsters!


    The giant beasts were hundreds of meters long, and they were waving their terrifying ws as well as pping the surface of the sea. They caused huge waves as if the end of the world had arrived.


    The old chief made a prompt decision.


    Storm Mode meant that the hundred electromaic cannons wouldunch a destructive round of ammunition regardless of cost and loss.


    The apocalyptic storm would be like the wrath of the heavens and the resentment of the people. Everything before it would bepletely destroyed.


    The old chief decisively activated Storm Mode. The people''s hearts were heavy, but they knew that there was no other way.


    The electromaic pulse cannons gathered into a majestic force and pointed at the giant beasts in the distance.


    At this moment, the audience was lucky enough to witness the rare Storm Mode.


    The electromaic pulse cannons released terrifying firepower, and darkness enveloped the sea and suffocated everyone.


    Countless rays of light interweaved together, like an inescapable and firmly enveloped the monster.


    Storm Mode finally ended, and the corpses of a few giant beasts began to bob up and down the water''s surface.


    Victory was in sight, and the people on the aircraft carrier cheered.


    However, Wu Mo noticed something concerning.

 Chapter 471 Something Big Has Happened

    The waves in the distance created a huge whirlpool. Behemoths rose up one after another, and the number was shocking.


    "There are more and more of these monsters, and their sizes continue to increase!" Wu Mo said worriedly."


    The monsters that appeared were huge, probably 120 to 130 meters tall.


    "Can these monsters keep growing?" an officer asked in horror. If that''s the case, how exaggerated will their size be?"


    Judging from the current situation, the length of their bodies could increase endlessly.


    The shocking secret at the bottom of the trench was chilling. Could there be an even more terrifying super-giant lurking down there?


    Once such a monster appeared, destroying it would be an extremely difficult task.


    This battle was no longer a simple operation at sea but a life-and-death battle between humans and underwater monsters.


    Although Wu Mo and the others still had the upper hand, no one knew how the winds would change in the future.


    Would these sea beasts undergo more unpredictable mutations?


    Everyone still remembered that aside from these sea beasts, the terrifying Titan Squid was also lurking in the deep sea. They seemed to live in groups, but they had temporarily disappeared.


    "It would be great if I could get the Titan Squid and these golden-scaled monsters to consume each other!"


    Wu Mo suddenly had a bold idea.


    However, they had yet to figure out the specificposition of these monsters, let alone control them from a biological level to start an internal battle.


    "Continue Storm Mode! Mothership, forward! The target is forty miles southeast!"


    At this moment, the old chief took over Niu Honggang''smand without any hesitation. He had decisively chosen to deploy Storm Mode and brought the entire fleet of guards straight toward the gathering point of those giant monsters.


    The old chief had already made up his mind to confront them head-on!


    What happened next shocked everyone!


    The scene made the live stream audience''s blood boil.


    "We''re talking about China''s dignity and righteousness. We will even conquer the sea!"


    "Hahaha, that''s right. What are these sea monsters? Before China''s powerful weapons, they can only surrender!"


    "Look! Several cruisers have already charged forward!"


    At this moment, the audience watched the live stream as cruisers charged toward the sea monsters one after another.


    Rumble!


    The electromaic cannons and electromaic pistols on the cruisers fired like a storm and riddled the sea monsters'' bodies with holes.


    One should know that although these monsters were huge, they still had a fatal weakness.


    The top of their heads were covered in indestructible golden scales, but their bodies were naked and hairless.


    As a result, their bodies were instantly covered in wounds of different sizes under the fierce barrage of bullets.


    Like liquid gold, their blood shone and dyed the surrounding seawater as the waves rolled.


    The blood of these mysterious creatures was of an extremely strange color.


    ''Why is their blood golden? This is unbelievable!'' Wu Mo thought to himself.


    Right then, Wu Mo and the old chief were both sailing slowly on the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.


    Although the aircraft carrier was not as fast as the apanying frigate, its role was indispensable. It acted as a base for supplies anytime and anywhere as it followed the surrounding ships like a shadow.


    At this moment, a biologist''smunicator sent a key piece of information that surprised the old chief and Wu Mo.


    "It turns out that these creatures aren''t descendants of ancient plesiosaurs. Their DNA ispletely inconsistent with known ancient plesiosaur specimens.


    Could these creatures be apletely new species?"


    This discovery was not good news for them.


    If the creatures were the offspring of a plesiosaur, they might still be able to find a countermeasure.


    However, because these creatures were a new, unknown species, the world knew nothing about their habits and characteristics.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Even the best zoologists would not be able to deduce any valuable information from their behavior.


    "There''s no need to think about it too much! Since we''vee to this, we''ll destroy them all!" an officer said mercilessly.


    Then, he gave the order.


    A nuclear submarine at the front was already in position, and it aimed all its torpedoes at the huge monsters.


    As the torpedoes fired wildly, the monsters churned violently in the sea. They became even more violent after they sustained injuries.


    In their fury, the giant beasts made earth-shattering moves. They burst out of the water abruptly and fell toward one of the cruisers.


    "This is bad! A cruiser is down!"


    Everyone was panicking in the central control room.


    Therefore, the old chief made a prompt decision and immediately dispatched two destroyers for a joint attack.


    "Fire at full force and shoot it down!"


    In an instant, themander on the cruiser felt extremely anxious. He ordered that all the electromaic cannonsunch a fierce attack on the giant beast before him.


    Rumble...


    Although there was no war on the sea, there was currently a life-and-death struggle between humans and unknown creatures.


    The bulletments in the live stream surged like a tide, and the number of viewers increased to tens of millions!


    This scene was made public to allow people to witness the fate of the choice between humans and monsters.


    China, on the other hand, did notpromise and vowed topletely eliminate these monsters that threatened the survival of mankind!


    "Oh, no, look at that!"


    Suddenly, someone noticed the heads of a few monsters appearing beside the besieged cruiser.


    Then, these monsters used their massive bodies to block the violent attacks of the nuclear submarine and the two surrounding frigates!


    "Heavens, these monsters are aware that they are in danger!"


    Wu Mo, who was in themand center of the next-powered aircraft carrier, observed this scene through the disy screen in front of him. His heart tightened.


    One had to know that all living beings had the instinct to seek good fortune and avoid disaster.


    Even the most loyal of people would find it difficult to remain the same in the face of life and death.


    However, these monsters in front of him were actually willing to sacrifice their lives to destroy the cruiser. They were as brave and fearless as warriors!


    Everyone realized that these monsters were difficult to deal with.


    "Chief, we must keep these guys here at all costs. We can''t let them escape into the deep sea again!" Wu Mo firmly said to the old chief.


    After hearing Wu Mo''s words, the old chief nodded in agreement.


    His expression was serious. He immediately ordered all the frigates and destroyers to form a semicircle. They had to trap these monsters and destroy them at all costs.


    "Yes, Chief!"


    The fleet at the front received the order and advanced at full speed to gather andunch a fierce attack on the monsters.


    At that moment, the apocalyptic wind raged. The two monsters that had sacrificed their bodies to block the fire could no longer withstand it. They let out deafening roars and fell heavily on the turbulent sea, which caused huge waves to roll.


    However, this momentary dy bought a precious opportunity for theirpanions!


    Then, two-hundred-meter-long beasts used their indestructible ws to smash the entire cruiser into pieces.


    "Hurry up! Evacuate by lifeboat immediately!"


    The personnel on the cruiser were already prepared, and the lifeboat was on standby.


    Everyone jumped into the lifeboats and quickly headed for the mothership!


    "D*mn it! The cruiser''s been overturned in front of everyone. This is a big deal!"


    Everyone''s faces were ashen as they could not hide their shame.

 Chapter 472 Heart Of The Ocean

    This scene was undoubtedly extremely humiliating.


    The old chief was burning with anger. He immediately gave the order to open fire and entered abat-ready state. He treated the monsters as his enemies andunched a heavy assault on them!


    At this moment, the aircraft carrier formation was charging forward at full force. Their attacks were like a tidal wave, and the monsters were forced to retreat.


    "Chief, bad news! We have to retreat immediately. There''s an extremely dangerous anomaly ahead!"


    Just then, the nuclear submarine discovered a major situation in the deep sea and quickly sent a message.


    The old chief was caught in a dilemma after he received this crucial information.


    Those watching the live stream could see everything. If the cruiser fell but failed to exterminate the monster, how would they face the people when they returned?


    However, the nuclear submarine must have discovered a secret under the sea. What kind of ident had happened at the bottom of the sea to make them issue such an urgent warning?


    At this moment, Wu Mo advised, "Chief, it''s better to listen to the suggestion from the nuclear submarine. If something happens, it''ll be even harder to exin to the people!"


    Feeling helpless, he could only make a bold decision.


    The old chief ordered the aircraft carrier formation and next-powered aircraft carriers to stop all operations.


    Not long after, the top half of the nuclear submarine finally surfaced as it quickly approached the mothership.


    Once they reached the mothership, they immediately retreated to the base.


    "What happened?"


    Seeing themander of the nuclear submarine step onto the deck and enter themand center, the officers crowded around him with confusion on their faces.


    Themander''s eyes were still filled with shock as he reported to the old chief, "Chief, the nuclear submarine''s detector shows that there''s a huge hole about seven thousand meters below the sea. The infrared fluctuations in the hole are intense, and it''s likely a monster''s nest!"


    "So that''s what it is. Did the movement on the surface of the sea trigger them? Is that why these hundred-meter-long giant beasts have been emerging?"


    The old chief suddenly realized that the nuclear submarine''s warning had not been a false rm. They had done the right thing.


    Who knew what kind of creatures were in the monster''s nest?


    Even if there were no bigger monsters, how would they deal with the present sea monsters?


    They had already sent an aircraft carrier formation to defend against them, so they could not send more forces.


    "Chief, we can''t deal with this overnight. We need to think about it carefully."


    Wu Mo provided suggestions, and although the old chief was not entirely on board, there was nothing else he could do.


    "D*mn it, if we weren''t at sea, we would have killed these monsters long ago!" an officer said angrily.


    However, what could he do?


    The sea was deep and vast, while humans were extremely fragile before it.


    Using the sea as a natural barrier, the monster horde and humans fought endlessly!


    After he returned to the base, Wu Mo made ns to build a super deep-sea detector.


    This detector would be named the Heart of the Ocean. This meant that it would be ced at the center of the sea and y a huge role like a heart!


    As one of the most important organs in the human body, the heart was responsible for delivering blood to all parts of the body.


    The Heart of the Ocean would also be the core of the ocean informationwork. It would automatically collect, match, and filter information before speedily sending it back to themand center.


    Once the Heart of the Ocean waspleted, their surveince of the sea area would reach an unprecedented level of security.


    At that time, no matter how many sea monsters appeared in the area and no matter whether their nests were hidden at the bottom, everything would be exposed.


    "The Heart of the Ocean''s development must bepleted within a week. Wu Mo, are you confident about this?"


    When he learned of Wu Mo''s n for the Heart of the Ocean, the old chief immediately agreed and set a seven-day deadline.


    It was undoubtedly a challenge for Wu Mo to develop the Heart of the Ocean in seven days.


    He needed to check the system''s progress before making a decision.


    The Deep Sea Eye research project hade to a head, and his previous research had yielded little results.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    A few of the Deep Sea Eyes had already been destroyed by the sea monsters, so the Heart of the Ocean''s development was especially crucial.


    "Chief, seven days is definitely a tight timeframe, but I''ll try my best."


    Wu Mo nodded and did not make any promises.


    Nevertheless, he devoted himself to the development of the Deep Sea Eyes and Heart of the Ocean. He worked hard to upgrade them to a higher level.


    In his mind, the height of the Heart of the Ocean would be about seven stories.


    Once he threw the Heart of the Ocean into the sea, it would be a coreponent in the sea around the southeastern coast. It would deal a fatal blow.


    The key to fighting the sea monsters was information. They could only strike first and annihte the sea monsters one by one after they obtained first-hand information.


    "Have you heard? Chief Engineer Wu wants to develop the Heart of the Ocean. Once it''spleted, it''ll provide all weather and a 360-degree surveince of the southeastern coast. No movement will escape it."


    "Heavens, it covers such arge area! What exactly is the Heart of the Ocean? It''s hard to imagine!"


    "Haha, is Chief Engineer Wu the one keeping you guessing? His research always shocks the world. Let''s wait and see how magical the Heart of the Ocean is!"


    The researchers on the base were all looking forward to it.


    When they learned that the Heart of the Ocean was about to be released, they were all amazed.


    A few days passed, and everyone wondered whether the Heart of the Ocean was ready.


    Two dayster, the Heart of the Ocean was sessfully developed.


    When they saw the Heart of the Ocean, everyone was shocked and tongue-tied.


    Oh, my God, it''s so tall!"


    Everyone stared at the huge object as if it was a majestic skyscraper standing in the middle of the square.


    The scale of this device far exceeded that of the previous Deep Sea Eye and its upgraded versions. This made people sigh. How did Wu Mo develop such a magical device?


    "Will burying such a huge piece of equipment deep under the sea really not attract the sea beasts?" an officer asked doubtfully.


    However, data on the Heart of the Ocean soon appeared.


    Its information uracy was up to 99.5%, with only a 0.02-second dy, and its coverage was up to a thousand nautical miles!


    All kinds of data showed that the super Heart of the Ocean was indeed as firm as a stabilizing needle. Once it was ced at the center of the shipwreck site, no creature would escape its surveince.


    "Wu Mo, you''ve seeded again.


    "This super Heart of the Ocean will be secretly transported to the area of the wreck and released," the old chief said.


    Wu Mo had never disappointed him.


    After the Heart of the Ocean was sessfully transported to the shipwreck area, Wu Mo received a message from the Institute of Special Biology.


    Life First had spread to thousands of people. However, among the thousands of people, three people experienced abnormal symptoms.


    Their lifespans were extended, but they did not look much younger.


    Wu Mo personally visited the Institute of Special Biology and met the three people who experienced no change in appearance.


    Life First did not seem to be effective enough in their bodies.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, this is their physical data reports."


    "After someparisons, we found that these three have the same blood type, but the blood types of all the other test subjects were different from theirs."


    "This means there''s a bug in the Life First medicine!"


    "Oh? A bug? These three people have a different blood type from one thousand different people?"


    Wu Mo looked at the report in surprise and shook his head.


    Life First was supposed to be universal. If individuals with this blood type could not enjoy the benefits, it would go against his original intention.


    "Don''t worry, I''ll modify Life First. You guys can continue promoting it," Wu Mo said.

 Chapter 473 Monster Siege

    "Alright, Chief Engineer Wu!"


    Xu Wanqing nodded her head lightly, and her face full of firm trust.


    Returning to the system store, Wu Wu opened the research interface of Life First again and began to repair it without hesitation.


    Time seemed to pass in his fingertips. Finally, after consuming arge number of points, the bug was fixed.


    Then, he took the repaired Life First potion and carried out a round of rigorous tests.


    Sure enough, with this fix, even those with special blood types could enjoy the youthful vitality brought by Life First.


    The bug was quickly fixed just like that.


    At this moment, the Heart of the Ocean had already been ced at the site of the shipwreck.


    Wu Mo and the old chief dared not be careless at all. They had been paying attention to the feedback from the other side.


    After all, the Heart of the Ocean''s coverage was wider than before. Once any abnormalities appeared, they would be reported immediately.


    "D*mn it, how is this possible?!"


    An officer held thetest feedback report with a terrified face. He rushed to themand center and handed the report to the old chief.


    "Chief, please take a look!"


    The old chief received the report, and his expression instantly turned solemn.


    Not long after, Wu Mo rushed over too. When he saw the report from the Heart of the Ocean, he was so shocked that he could hardly speak.


    There were actually three hundred and fifty-five gigantic beasts within a radius of one thousand meters. They were more than a hundred meters long and swimming in an uncertain manner!


    There were also more than a thousand golden-scaled monsters that were about forty to fifty meters long. They were seven thousand meters deep in the sea at thirty-six degrees northtitude and seventy-two degrees east longitude. They were around a huge nest and moving in a circr trajectory.


    In addition, Titan Squids had also been discovered. There were about a hundred of them.


    However,pared to the golden-scaled monsters, the Titan Squid was so weak that it could not fight them at all.


    More shockingly, the Heart of the Ocean captured another huge shadow.


    The shadow shed past, but the device did not manage to record its entire body.


    However, the Heart of the Ocean''s data analysis and AI deduction indicated that the huge shadow could be more than five hundred meters long!


    "No way! There are marine creatures that are more than five hundred meters long?" Wu Mo could not help but mutter to himself.


    It sounded as absurd as a science fiction story.


    Even so, he had to admit that humans had barely explored the vast underwater world.


    Even the Heart of the Ocean only covered an area of a thousand miles. It was insignificant in the entire sea.


    "Wu Mo, I''ve always had this idea. Is it possible to build a submarine corridor at the bottom of the sea? With the corridor''s cover, our gically-enhanced warriors can fight those monsters at the bottom of the sea."


    The old chief was proposing a bold idea.


    This idea was born because defeating the deep sea monsters was undoubtedly a great challenge for humans.


    Wu Mo forced a smile and said, "Chief, you''re aware that to carry out such a huge undersea tunnel project at those depths is a huge risk in itself, right?"


    The old chief nodded. He knew this very well.


    "Furthermore, such a project would consume a lot of materials, manpower, and resources. The requirements for tempered ss were extremely high. No tempered ss of any strength could withstand the sharp ws of that hundred-meter-long beast!"


    Wu Mo mentioned the various issues they would face, and the old chief had no choice but to give up on his idea for the time being.


    Nheless, he still had a glimmer of hope that Wu Mo might be able to realize the idea of the undersea tunnel.


    Suddenly, the rm sounded and alerted the old chief as well as Wu Mo. Where was the informationing from this time?


    Immediately after, arge group of officers rushed into themand center, and everyone stared at the events that were unfolding on the screen.


    The old chief and Wu Mo hurried over. When they saw the room full of military officers, they realized that something serious must have happened!<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    They raised their heads and saw a huge golden-scaled monster appear on the screen.


    Its huge body was almost entirely out of the water. They were surprised that the creature was appearing near the coastal city!


    "How is this possible? They''re actually this close to the coast? What are they thinking?" the old chief could not help but exim.


    A few hundred meters away from this monster, another monster of the same size appeared!


    Then came a third, fourth, and fifth¡­


    In the end, thirteen golden-scaled monsters over a hundred meters long appeared near the port of the coastal city.


    Rumble!


    These golden-scaled monsters immediately began to destroy the ships at the port.


    The people on the ship were terrified, and they fled in all directions. They could not understand why such a terrifying monster would suddenly appear.


    In the previous live stream, these monsters had appeared about thirty-six degrees away from the southeastern coast. They were still a thousand miles away from the coast. Why would they suddenlye here?


    Worse still, even the data captured by the Heart of the Ocean failed to provide timely feedback, hence they never expected these creatures to appear!


    Kacha! Kacha!


    The terrifying hundred-meter-long behemoths mercilessly gnawed at the ships. Whether it was a civilian transport ship or a military ship, they treated the ships as delicacies.


    In an instant, they ate arge ship clean!


    Then, something even more terrifying happened.


    Before the soldiers could arrive on the scene, the monsters had already started attacking the coastalnd facilities.


    Boom!


    A huge explosion rang out, and a high-voltage power line tower was destroyed by the monsters'' ws.


    The electric towers rose from the ground and dragged up dozens of thick electric wires. Sparks flew everywhere, like a dazzling fireworks show.


    After destroying the electric tower, the monsters slowly turned around and mmed their long tails on the ground!


    m!


    A huge crack appeared on the ground asa result. Countless panicked people and cars did not have time to escape, and they fell into the crack.


    "These b*stards! How dare they cause trouble along the coast? We won''t allow it!"


    The gically-enhanced warriors heard the news and rushed over. Numerous armored vehicles and emergency response teams followed closely behind.


    Even though they were far away, they had already begun to utilize their firepower. Scorching fire continued to wreak havoc on the monsters'' bodies. They were riddled with countless bloody holes, and golden blood sttered everywhere along the coast.


    Right then, the entire battlefield seemed to be painted in gold.


    In the distance, several frigates and nuclear submarines gathered.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Various rescue forces advanced together. They vowed to kill these sea monsters, or else they would not be able to face the public!


    At the same time, the reporters at the scene urgently broadcasted the situation while people watched their television screens in horror.


    "Oh, my God, is this the end of the world? How could such a thing happen in our era?"


    "Look! These terrifying beasts actually took the initiative to attack a human city. Do they want to fight us to the death?"


    "How despicable! They''ve destroyed everything in such a rampant manner, and we''ve lost countless properties!"


    "Wealth is secondary. The most important thing is the lives of innocent people! How do we make sense of this?"


    After a fierce battle, the few monsters were finally forced back by the military''s firepower, and they slowly retreated to the bottom of the sea.


    However, were they going to escape so easily?

 Chapter 474 Pursuit

    At this moment, everyone in themand center was furious. Even Wu Mo could not help but curse.


    The worst-case scenario still happened. He had been worried that the sea monsters would not quietly wait for death in the sea and would instead take the initiative to attack the coastal cities.


    When they attacked human society, panic and destruction followed!


    To this end, he had made up his mind to develop the Heart of the Ocean to monitor the sea monsters'' whereabouts, predict their moves, and prevent them from approaching the coastal cities.


    However, who would have thought that the Heart of the Ocean would fail to capture their movement information in time?


    What was going on?


    Right then, a bold idea shed through Wu Mo''s mind: Was there some kind of anti-information barrier deep under the sea that hid the whereabouts of these monsters, hence the Heart of the Ocean could not capture them?


    "Impossible, impossible¡­"


    He shook his head again. If the Heart of the Ocean could not track them, would this not imply that there was an unknown civilization hidden at the bottom of the sea? Otherwise, who could create such a magical device to control the transmission of information?


    Finally, the cruiser fired a ground-to-air missile, which sted the monster''s huge head into pieces. Golden blood poured down like rain before the monster''s huge body fell and floated on the shore of the port.


    The other monsters tried to escape, but they were all killed by the terrifying firepower. After some specimens were collected, the military''s higher-ups decided to burn the monsters'' corpses immediately since no one knew what their bodies contained! Once they rotted and produced toxins, it would be extremely difficult to deal with them.


    Work such as appeasing the injured and saving property was carried out in full swing. The damage caused by the few monsters was incalcble!


    An emergency meeting was held with the old chief, important officers, and Wu Mo all in the meeting room. Everyone had to find a solution to deal with the uing situation.


    "Ladies and gentlemen, let me emphasize once again that this isn''t a science fiction movie or a novel. This is a real battle between monsters and humans! They''re beginning to attack us first!" The old chief''s tone was heavy.


    Previously, everyone could take the initiative and face the challenge, but it was different now. The monsters could directly take them out! If the monsters escaped the Heart of the Ocean''s detection and attacked the coastal cities, they would be reduced to mere decorations.


    Such a situation could not happen!


    "Wu Mo, why did the Heart of the Ocean''s data capture fail?" the old chief asked curiously.


    "There might be a natural information blocking device at the bottom of the sea, Chief, but we don''t know what it is exactly."


    Wu Mo pondered for a short while before he added, "Chief, can we send some members of the Marine Corps to the sea area about five thousand meters away in a special submarine? They could try to investigate the terrain across the seabed and find suspicious objects around the Heart of the Ocean. Only by destroying this natural shield can the Heart of the Ocean fully monitor the situation."


    Wu Mo''s suggestion was quite valuable, but it brought a big problem for the officers present. Who would be qualified for this mission?


    This mission required the executors to carry out a special operation thousands of meters deep in the sea, and it would take a lot out of the soldiers.


    Even the best navy elites would find it difficult toplete this task because they had never received any training for it.


    When would they go thousands of meters deep into the sea during regr training?


    Down there, the world was made of cold steel and ss, and no living thing from above could survive.


    The more critical problem was how to get information from the submarine thousands of meters deep?


    This technical problem sounded simple, but it was actually full of difficulties.


    Wu Mo contemted for a moment and suggested, "I''ll develop a water-resistant diving suit that can withstand ultra-high water pressure at a depth of several thousand meters. With it, the soldiers will be able toplete their mission smoothly."


    "Yes, if we have a pressure-resistant diving suit like that, the problem should be solved." The officers present nodded.


    After that, Wu Mo returned to the R&D center and immediately searched through the system for a rted R&D path.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    This ultra-speed anti-water pressure diving suit was different from traditional anti-pressure suits. It used aposite structure made of multiple materials, which greatly improved its anti-pressure function. Even if the user was thousands of meters deep, it could still perfectly protect the user against the water pressure.


    If he wanted this ultra high-pressure diving suit to make an impact, it would probably have to stand the pressure up to ten thousand meters below sea level.


    Wu Mo went all out and quickly developed the ultra high-pressure diving suit.


    The elites of the Marine Corps who were in charge of carrying out the mission began to try it on.


    After the preliminary test, they could hardly feel the water pressure at the bottom of the sea hundreds of meters away.


    This chilling phenomenon was shocking.


    Hundreds of meters deep in the sea, the water pressure was like a giant rock that weighed hundreds of kilograms.


    However, thanks to this high-pressure diving suit, this feeling waspletely gone.


    "Oh, my God, this feels magical! I think I can go deep into the Mariana Trench with this diving suit!" asoldier could not help but praise.


    Then, the Marine Corps members put on their diving suits, boarded the nuclear submarine, and ventured deep into the sea.


    When they arrived near the Heart of the Ocean, they observed their surroundings through the submarine''s ss window, ready to move out when necessary.


    "Yes, something''s wrong. Other than that, there are no other suspicious objects around... What''s that?"


    A few experienced Marine Corps members noticed that there was a dark cave not far from the Heart of the Ocean. It seemed to be some creature''s nest.


    Through theirmunication with themand center, the team members on the submarine learned that this was one of the suspected monster caves they had discovered earlier.


    "Ah, so it''s a monster cave. But there aren''t any monsters around!"


    The submarine approached the entrance of the cave, and the crew found that it was about sixty to seventy meters in diameter; it had an irregr oval shape.


    It was pitch ck inside, and they could not identify anything. Such a hole was enough to amodate golden-scaled monsters that were dozens of meters long. However, it could not fit any monsters over a hundred meters.


    Therefore, the soldiers on the submarine spected that there should be more than one such cave, and they should be at least twice asrge.


    "Conduct an ultrasonic infrared scan now!" The soldiers began to get busy.


    Following the scan, they found that there were indeed strong wave particle rays spreading in all directions near the cave entrance.


    These rays were more intense than infrared rays, violet rays, and other known rays. Besides, they were present at depths of two to five thousand meters below sea level.


    Everything within a three-thousand-meter radius was affected by the wave particles.


    After the soldiers in the submarine reported the information, the personnel in themand center could finally pinpoint where the culprit was.


    Wu Mo pondered for a moment as he did not understand how such particles could appear in the nest of the sea monsters.


    He sent an order to the submarine and asked if the soldiers could leave the submarine temporarily to obtain a soil sample from the monster nest.


    Upon hearing Wu Mo''s order, the soldiers slowly left the submarine and cautiously approached the nest. They quickly collected soil samples and returned.


    Just as they returned to the submarine, an angry roar came from the nest, and the submarine immediately began to surface.


    As the submarine elerated, a furious forty-meter-long monster chased after it.

 Chapter 475 Lets Use The Nuclear Bomb

    "That was close! It was too dangerous. He almost didn''t manage to escape earlier!"


    The soldiers on the submarine patted their chests and heaved a sigh of relief.


    The monster chased after them for a distance and realized that it could not catch up, so it gave up decisively.


    After the mission waspleted, everyone rxed, and the submarine slowly floated up.


    Through sample collection and testing, themand center would know the specific frequency of the wave particles. They could then analyze why such high-intensity rays appeared in the monsters'' nest and affected the Heart of the Ocean''s information capture.


    However, when the submarine was less than five hundred meters from the sea''s surface, a huge abyssal mouth swallowed it whole.


    "Oh, my God, what''s happening?"


    The scene stunned everyone in the research base.


    Seeing it unfold on the screen, Wu Mo rubbed his eyes hard and thought that he was mistaken.


    "Impossible! What just happened? Hurry, contact the people on the submarine!"


    However, after they sent a few messages, they received no response from the submarine as if it had disappeared into the sea.


    The people in themand center were silent, and a shadow shrouded their hearts.


    The most terrifying and concerning thing that no one dared to mention before had finally happened.


    A minuteter, signs of the submarine appeared sporadically, and they tried to reconnect repeatedly.


    "Look! They sent a message back!"


    "We were swallowed by a huge undersea creature, and we''re about to use nuclear torpedoes to destroy it."


    The submarine began tomunicate with them intermittently.


    Boom!


    Soon, explosions as deafening as thunder echoed from the depths of the sea. It was as if countless torpedoes had beenunched at the same time, and they yed a soul-stirring symphony together.


    Arge hole was sted in the lower jaw of the huge sea monster. The submarine crew seized the opportunity and activated the jet mode to rush out.


    Right after they escaped death, they executed a random high-speed ascent mode at the bottom of the sea to avoid the pursuit of monsters.


    They chose to dive down and not float up because the submarine''s speed would decrease while it was floating up. It would be an obvious target and be easily attacked by the monsters again.


    On the contrary, it could continuously increase its speed when it dived into the deep sea. Besides, dark would gradually envelop it down there, which was beneficial for escaping pursuing monsters.


    As expected, once it dived to a certain depth, the monster seemed to grow further and further away. Everyone on the submarine felt relieved and rejoiced over their survival of the disaster.


    "Hurry up and return to the port. It''s too dangerous here. We can''t stay here any longer!"


    At this moment, the submarine quickly headed for the port.


    When they arrived, a group of brave soldiers immediately returned to the base and reported to Wu Mo, the old chief, and the others.


    Each of them recounted the thrilling scene they had just experienced with lingering fear.


    "Oh, a monster that can swallow a submarine in one gulp should be hundreds of meters long. Could it be the shadow that the Heart of the Ocean detected?"


    Had the sea monster that was over five hundred meters long finally appeared?


    Wu Mo, the old chief, and the others had solemn expressions.


    ording to past rules, the body length of the sea monster could continue to increase.


    It could go from forty to fifty meters to a hundred meters, then to 120 or 130 meters. Now, it had jumped to five hundred meters.


    However, who knew if this was the end?


    If this situation persisted, what kind of terrifying fate would they meet?


    After Wu Mo obtained the soil sample from the nest, he immediately began to study it. He tried to uncover any hidden data as he analyzed it.


    In addition, the wave particle ray diagram from the submarine had also been copied into theputer and presented before him.


    By observing the data, one could see that they were dealing with concentrated particles of extremely high intensity.


    No one on the base had ever worked with intense particle rays in their research.


    In other words, there had yet to be any recorded human research of such rays, but these rays had materialized in the underwater nest!<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Not long after, the soil sample was determined.


    Aside from the fact that it contained more lithium and sodium, it was almost no different from terrestrial soil.


    "There''s actually nothing very unusual about it. Are these two elements the only things that are causing the ultra high-intensity wave particle rays?"


    Wu Mo frowned and felt that it would be more appropriate to consult a top physicist.


    However, other physicists said that no matter how the two elementsbined or reacted, it was impossible to produce particle rays. This hypothesis could only be rejected.


    Meanwhile, the old chief began tomand a series of confidential operations. He sent out frigates, destroyers, nuclear submarines, and two nuclear-powered aircraft carriers to conduct weather patrols in the area of the incident.


    Their firepower was several times stronger than before, which showed the old chief''s determination.


    The highest-ranking officer in charge of maritime affairs had been exhausted for the past few days. Nevertheless, he continued to urge all parties to keep the situation under control and prevent the sea monsters from attacking the coastal cities again.


    However, things did not go as they wished. The thing that Wu Mo and the others were most worried about happened again.


    Boom!


    While people were finishing their breakfast and exercising one quiet morning, arge port in the southeastern coastal city of Pingning suddenly exploded!


    A terrifying hundred-meter-long monster had descended!


    "Heavens, what is that?"


    "Run!"


    The fishermen at the port and unloaders, who were working on the freighters that had just docked, bore the brunt first.


    Hundred-meter-tall waves crashed down and pushed them into the sea or dozens of meters away!


    Then, a terrifying beast that was five hundred meters long slowly surfaced from the water.


    Its huge body resembled a dark shadow that enveloped the entire port, enough to block the sun and destroy everything.


    Roar!


    The giant monster''s roar frightened everyone in the port city.


    "Heavens, what''s happening? Why do I hear monstrous roars?"


    Everyone ran out of their houses and looked into the distance. They saw the huge shadow by the sea churning as if it was about tounch an attack.


    "Old Chief, this is bad! A five-hundred-meter-long beast has appeared at Pingning Harbor in Dongping Prefecture!"


    The old chief had never expected such news toe from the front.


    He quickly informed a group of military officers to carry out an emergency rescue operation. Then, he and Wu Mo took a private ne to Pingning.


    Not long after, the two of them arrived at the scene.


    Right then, the port was in chaos! As the frigates, cruisers, andnd firepower tried to suppress the massive shadow, it let out a shocking roar and destroyed the buildings near the port in a crazed state.


    Schools, power stations, supermarkets, and so on were all destroyed and turned into ruins.


    Onnd, people were being evacuated.


    Although there were casualties, they did their best to keep the number of casualties to a minimum.


    "D*mn it! Wu Mo! We were all wrong. These monsters will fight us to the death! We can''t dy things any longer. We have to destroy thempletely!" the old chief yelled.


    Wu Mo nodded. He was determined to go back and develop a high-intensity electromaic pulse cannon to blow up the sea monster''s head.


    Even though the behemoth was heavily injured, its tenacious vitality allowed it to withstand the military''s firepower and continue its destructive rampage.


    "Chief, use the nuclear bomb!" an officer suggested.


    Nuclear bomb? The old chief had a conflicted expression as he looked at the officers who were exchanging nces with each other.


    The nuclear bomb could kill the giant monster, and it would not even leave its body intact.


    However, if that happened, the famous port city would be destroyed, and the radiation pollution would leave it dead for a long time.


    Unless it was absolutely necessary, the nuclear bomb could not be used!

 Chapter 476 Another New Monster Appears

    "Focus theposite missiles on the monster''s head!"


    The old chief had no choice but to make the second best choice.


    Theposite missile was a powerful strike method in the post-military era. It was neither a nuclear bomb nor a ground-to-air missile.


    Theposition of its ammunition wasplicated.


    Basically, it was a series of explosions that acted as a spider web. They were far more powerful than ordinary missiles!


    Tenposite missiles flew hundreds of miles from theunch base and hit the giant monster in the head.


    Awooo! Awooo!


    The giant monster was heavily injured by theposite missile, and it tried to escape.


    However, due to the heinous crime it hadmitted, how could the people allow it to escape?


    Wu Mo had a sh of inspiration. He pointed ahead and shouted, "Quick, aim for the bulge below its neck!"


    It was then that people noticed a red bulge about fifteen meters below the giant monster''s neck.


    Wu Mo observed and discovered that the behemoth had deliberately made use of human blind spots to hide the protruding part. That way, it could prevent human firepower from touching it.


    As such, Wu Mo boldly spected that the bulge was most likely the monster''s weakness. It might be its heart or another important organ.


    In the next moment, with help from the blue high-definition automatic locking device, aposite missile hit the bulge with precision.


    The giant monster let out a miserable howl, and blood gushed out from all parts of its skin like it was a huge water pir!


    The giant monster red at the human city and plunged into the sea.


    "Hurry!" everyone eximed.


    The giant monster fell into the sea and created waves that drowned the ruins because they were hundreds of meters high.


    The nuclear submarine chased after the giant monster relentlessly, and the crew vowed to kill it.


    The terrifying beast, which was more than five hundred meters long, seemed to be detached from reality. It had been reduced to a character in science fiction and movies.


    In the end, the giant monster was destroyed about seven nautical miles away from Pingning Harbor.


    Its huge corpse slowly floated to the surface of the water. Everyone held their breaths and stared at it as if they were in an illusion.


    It did not seem real!


    People realized that the turning point of an era had arrived, and mankind was about to wee the most powerful enemy on Earth.


    The shocking change in China shook the world.


    All countries requested it to share information, worried that the sea monsters would flee to their own countries.


    The entire world was in a state of panic. When the images of the sea monsters and the port city''s destruction were disyed before their eyes, no one had peace of mind.


    Many researchers who were interested in sea monsters traveled to China from thousands of miles away in an attempt to get a closer look at the sea monster''s corpse and the destroyed ruins.


    China was naturally willing to gather the wisdom of the world to analyze the mysteries behind the sea monsters'' actions.


    At this moment, the threat of the sea monsters made the world even more united.


    On the research base, Wu Mo was working on repairing a secret device in the Heart of the Ocean.


    He activated the remote control to activate the high-frequency automatic particle jumping mode.


    In short, the light wave captured the signal and formed a jumping rhythm to resist high-intensity particle interference.


    Wu Mo had not expected such a scene, but the Heart of the Ocean had been developed with great effort, so it was not rare for it to have concealment functions.


    Now was the time for it toe into y!


    After activating the hidden device, the high-frequency jumping particle mode was activated, and the Heart of the Ocean''s terrifying data collection ability was instantly restored.


    At this moment, within a thousand miles of the sea area in the southeastern coast, nothing could escape the Heart of the Ocean''s monitoring.


    Finally, one day, strange data appeared in the information center''s connection library. Wu Mo and the relevant technical researchers immediately rushed over to investigate.


    The technician told Wu Mo, "Chief Engineer Wu, there seems to be an extremely strange spatial fluctuation in the observation nest. The infrared detection shows that it might be a huge space."


    Wu Mo could not believe his eyes when he came to this conclusion.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    There was a huge space hidden in the nest of the sea monsters. It was like a small world.


    How was this possible?


    Wu Mo quickly gave the order for the Heart of the Ocean to focus on the environment inside the nest.


    The Heart of the Ocean had aprehensive set of functions, and one of them was to focus on a single area.


    The Heart of the Ocean''s detection was urate, and its efficiency increased. It quickly figured out the cave''sposition.


    The world fell into panic. When the truth of the cave was revealed, Wu Mo frowned and thought deeply about the key reason.


    This huge space was definitely not created by chance. What kind of secret was it hiding?


    If Wu Mo could analyze theposition of space, he would be able to find the source of the sea monster.


    Were they victims of the nuclear pollution of the Cherry Blossom Kingdom, or were they descended from another world, non-Earth creatures?


    On the other hand, the old general had already ordered the officers to strictly guard the coastal cities and patrol the sea area for a few days.


    The sea monsters had not reappeared yet, or because they had defeated theirpanions in the coastal cities, they were wary of the strength of humans and did not dare to act rashly.


    However, everyone had a feeling that this calm was only temporary. A storm would eventually arrive.


    The Institute of Special Biology continued to test the Life First injection. If the n was sessful, Wu Mo would receive a huge reward and develop more inventions.


    For example, the effects of Life Second was doubled based on Life First. It was unbelievable.


    At this moment, Wu Mo finally obtained a result through the Heart of the Ocean''s special detection mode: The space around the nest was extremely unstable, and the light that passed through it was distorted, making it seem strange.


    To understand the mystery, a small robot had to beunched into the nest to film the environment.


    Such small robots were not rare. China''s top technology could easily deal with it.


    Not long after, the development of the robot waspleted. It followed the submarine thousands of meters deep into the sea to explore the unknown nest.


    "D*mn it! How did this happen?"


    When the robot entered the nest, it sent back an image. Wu Mo was shocked speechless.


    The nest was not a dark ce but a huge space. The air was also strange.


    Indeed, the elemental capture information from the front revealed an unusualposition of soil, air, and matter.


    The robot was affected by strong electromaic interference and could not move forward.


    Wu Mo fell into deep thought. If he could drain the seawater and reveal the nest to the world, the truth would be revealed.


    But he also knew that this was wishful thinking.


    This discovery shocked Wu Mo. He knew what this meant.


    What secrets were hidden in this vast space?


    Was it some kind of mysterious force that drove these sea monsters, or was there a deeper reason?


    Facing this unknown world, Wu Mo felt deeply challenged.


    However, he was determined to unravel the mystery behind all this to protect mankind from the invasion of sea monsters.


    Suddenly, the robot was immediately destroyed after it sent the terrifying image.


    The image froze on theputer screen of the centralmand center, showing a steel-like monster with a cold and heartless gaze.


    It was extremely thin, like a giant six-winged mantis.


    "Unbelievable! A new species of monster has appeared!" Wu Mo eximed.


    The appearance of the new monster waspletely different from anything he had seen before. Did ite from the depths of the nest?


    Wu Mo realized that there was not only the Titan Squid and the golden-scaled monster in the undersea world, but also a third type of monster.


    After reporting this to the old chief, his reaction was the same as Wu Mo''s. He was shocked.


    "Everyone, please take a look at this third type of monster. It looks like a giant six-winged mantis. We must be prepared in advance!"


    Wu Mo''s heavy words echoed in the meeting room.

 Chapter 477 The Culprit Behind The Tsunami

    Everyone looked at each other in shock.


    Wu Mo had already forgotten how many emergency meetings they had.


    The sea monsters were running amok, and the old chief was in a terrible state.


    Whether it was in terms of size or killing intent, the new monsters were not inferior to the golden-scaled monsters. In fact, they were even stronger.


    As he had not fought with the new monsters, he had no idea how powerful they were.


    "Chief, I suggest that we use a nuclear submarine to destroy the nest. It won''t matter what monsters are hidden inside; they''ll all be turned into dust!"


    An officer made the final suggestion. Perhaps this was the best way to solve the crisis.


    However, the use of nuclear bombs would inevitably lead to many problems, such as the destruction of the fishing industry and environmental pollution.


    The old chief hesitated for a long time before he tapped his fingers on the table. Everyone waited quietly for a decision.


    "Destroying the nest with a nuclear bomb will definitely cause global opposition¡ª"


    The old chief was full of worry. In fact, he wanted to settle this once and for all too.


    Wu Mo suddenly interrupted. "Chief, don''t mind what the others say. A nuclear bomb is the only way to get rid of the threat. With the nest gone, this crisis will be nipped in the bud!"


    "Yes, Chief! Wu Mo''s right. The sea monster crisis should be our first priority. Other concerns should be put aside!" another officer echoed.


    The old chief remained silent for a moment before he finally nodded. "In that case, let''s use the nuclear bombs!"


    The old chief was exhausted, and he was yearning for some good sleep.


    Now that he had decided to solve the problem with a nuclear bomb, he felt less burdened.


    The nuclear submarine carried the nuclear bomb and dived five thousand meters into the sea before it locked onto the monster nest.


    Wu Mo and the others understood that the nuclear explosion would destroy the Heart of the Ocean as well.


    Although the Heart of the Ocean was equipped with protective devices, it could not withstand the power of a nuclear bomb.


    Huge waves would also rise across the sea, so ships were prohibited from approaching the surrounding waters.


    The coastal cities needed to prepare for tsunamis as well. After all, a nuclear explosion at the bottom of the sea could trigger volcanic eruptions and other chain disasters.


    Eventually, the nuclear bomb wasunched.


    Everyone was extremely nervous as they held their breaths and focused.


    The nuclear bomb disappeared into the depths of the nest, and everyone counted the seconds in their hearts.


    Ten secondster, an earth-shattering boom resounded throughout the seabed!


    Kaboom!


    The scene fell into chaos, and water sshed everywhere violently. No one could see what was happening in the nest. The screen then became snowy as if it was damaged.


    The terrifying explosive force instantly turned the underwater creatures into steam. Huge sharks, as well as whales, were disintegrated in an instant, and they disappeared without a trace. The temperature at the center of the explosion was high enough to melt metal.


    As time passed, the area around the nest turned into nothingness. The underwater nest, the foundation, and the mountain range were all razed to the ground. At this moment, the nuclear submarine was no longer capturing any images. Everyone in themand center was convinced that the underwater nest had beenpletely destroyed and the creatures in the nest had turned into dust!


    "Everyone, we''ve finally resolved the sea monster crisis!" an officer announced with a smile, and those in the room heaved a sigh of relief. Wu Mo saw that the Heart of the Ocean had been destroyed. The shockwave from the nuclear explosion had eviscerated its defensive mechanisms and damaged the core. As such, the Heart of the Ocean had lost its.


    It was difficult to repair it, but Wu Mo had no intentions of doing so. The sea monsters'' nest had been destroyed, and only a few monsters were left drifting in the sea. They posed little threat to humans at this point. All they needed to do was prevent those sea monsters from attacking the coastal cities!


    Unfortunately, while everyone believed that things had calmed down, the port in Haidong City along China''s coast was suddenly hit by a terrifying tsunami!


    "What?! A tsunami? How is this possible?" Haidong City hasn''t experienced a tsunami for several years." When the Meteorology Department received the news, they were all shocked.


    They did not detect signs of a tsunami earlier, so they needed to mobilize the military to deal with this disaster.


    The high-ranking military officers received the order and rushed to the rescue.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Houses copsed and facilities were damaged as the scene was cleaned up urgently and the injured were treated.


    Grief shed in Wu Mo''s eyes. When he learned of this sudden tsunami, he could not help but feel extremely emotional.


    Was nature finally showing its wrath? In the face of such power, humans seemed so insignificant!


    Emergency rescue work quickly began, and the people united at this moment as if they were forming a powerful force.


    Everyone was in pain because they had lost their loved ones, but they knew that they would rise from the ashes after this disaster. They would build better homes, establish stronger beliefs, and work harder for their future.


    Disasters were merciless, but humans were sentimental. On top of that, the sudden tsunami caught the Meteorology Department off guard.


    Despite the heavy blow, people still had firm gazes and resolute expressions amidst the chaotic environment by the port. They tried their best to treat the injured and save the properties that had been washed away.


    However, at this moment, a few hundred meters away from the shore, huge waves rolled and surged. They eventually converged into one monstrous wave that pounced straight at the humans.


    The people cried out in horror, "D*mn it! The tsunami isn''t over yet? How is this possible?"


    The impact of the aftershock was unheard of and unbelievable.


    It flipped all research of tsunamis in the past decades or even centuries on its head.


    They thought that they were just unlucky. Even so, they never expected such a terrifying aftershock.


    At this moment, the second tsunami was about to arrive. Everyone was caught off guard, and they could not respond effectively.


    People were trying their best to save everything that had been hurt by the first tsunami.


    In the end, they were taken by surprise and annihted by the second tsunami.


    Wu Mo frowned and said in self-reproach, "I was careless, I was really careless. Before taking action, I should''ve considered all possibilities. Instead, I was so preupied with the tsunami disaster that I neglected other things."


    The second tsunami was even more devastating. More than half of Haidong City was destroyed.


    Due to the attack from two sessive tsunamis, the people''s hearts became extremely heavy.


    At this point, no one spoke. Everyone was shocked by the terrifying tsunami, and they felt uneasy.


    This was a major event that affected the entire country, and everyone was paying close attention to it.


    However, before the special organizations could react, a huge sea monster slowly surfaced dozens of miles away from Haidong City''s coastal port.


    Its head was shaped like an inverted triangle, and it had a pair of diamond-shaped eyes that were extremely cold. Its entire body was as cold and hard as metal.


    Its huge body hadrgely left the surface of the water. Only its several pairs of huge feet and wings were floating slowly on the surface while it was gliding forward.


    Overall, it resembled a terrifying six-winged mantis!


    "The sea monster has appeared! The sea monster has appeared again!"


    Everyone was panicking. They screamed and fled in desperation.


    Right then, no one was thinking about the buildings destroyed by the tsunami anymore. They all knew that if they did not escape now, they would be goners!


    Suddenly, the huge six-winged mantis waved its arms and shed at the sea when it was ten nautical miles away.


    The terrifying force of this strike formed two huge vortexes behind its wings, which spun rapidly and danced wildly.


    The whirlpool grew bigger and bigger. Soon, a huge wave rose and turned into a third terrifying tsunami!


    "D*mn it! So this guy''s responsible for the tsunamis?"


    Wu Mo widened his eyes in realization.


    This also exined why the previous tsunami had escaped the Meteorology Department''s detection. It was not a natural tsunami but a monster''s creation.


    Under such circumstances, how could the Meteorology Department make urate predictions?

 Chapter 478 Catch Up To It

    Faced with this terrifying sea monster, the officers and old chief in themand center gritted their teeth in anger.


    Furthermore, the sea monster was less than ten nautical miles away from the coastal city. It was impossible to destroy it with a nuclear bomb in this range.


    The entire city would be destroyed too.


    At this critical moment, the old chief decisively ordered, "Use thepound missiles and electromaic pulse cannons. Don''t stop attacking and focus on its head!"


    He knew that the head was often a creature''s weakness.


    Therefore, he chose this method of attack to break through the sea monster''s weakness and destroy it.


    "Wu Mo, didn''t we find this sea monster in the nest using the man-made robots?" the old chief asked doubtfully.


    "It should have been destroyed by the nuclear bomb. Why is it still here?"


    Wu Mo was puzzled too.


    Did it have the ability to escape a nuclear bomb? But how was that possible?


    How powerful was a nuclear bomb? No matter how powerful the sea monster was, it was still made of flesh and blood. How could it survive the attack of a nuclear bomb?


    At this moment, Wu Mo guessed that there was only one exnation for this phenomenon: There was more than one six-winged sea monster in the sea!


    The worst thing was, the other six-winged mantises had probably spread out to different areas in the sea.


    "Old Chief, we have to make sufficient preparations to construct a new defensive wall in the coastal cities. It needs to be at least eighty meters high to effectively block the huge waves from the sea!" Wu Mo suggested after some nning.


    Everyone present nodded. With that said, the most important matter now was how to deal with the six-winged mantis monster and the terrifying tsunamis it had caused.


    The damage from the third tsunami was actually less than the first two waves. The entire harbor was already in ruin following the first two attacks, and no one stayed behind.


    Soon, thepound missiles and nuclear submarines arrived. Through a triple attack fromnd, sea, and air, they formed a fiery that enveloped the sea monster!


    With such terrifying firepower, even dozens of golden-scaled monsters would be destroyed.


    Unexpectedly, this six-winged mantis sea monster was able to withstand the first round of firepower and still stand firm!


    The sea monster seemed furious. It frantically pped its two pairs of wings, like they were huge steel des, and shed at the sea!


    Due to the special angle of the shes, they would set off huge waves. Sshing seawater and whirlpools intertwined and crashed violently toward Haidong City''s port!


    Finally, the port''s protective belt copsed, and thend rumbled and sank.


    The Compound Missile Unit was forced to retreat immediately, otherwise they might be dragged into the copsing ground and suffer huge losses.


    "D*mn it! This sea monster is so tough that even apound missile can''t break through its defense?" the old chief shouted angrily in themand center.


    "Although thepound missile is powerful, it has to hit one ce repeatedly to break the monster''s defense. Why don''t we try a single point attack?" Wu Mo suddenly said with some thought.


    Hearing Wu Mo''s suggestion, everyone nodded. This might be the best solution at the moment.


    Right then, the nuclear submarines and air forces temporarily ceased fire.


    The Compound Missile Unit, which was far away, used the blue automatic high-definition locking device to lock onto the two obvious eyes on the six-winged mantis'' head. Then, it quickly opened fire!


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    One after another,pound missiles that carried more than a hundred kilograms of terrifying explosives went blew up violently.


    Finally, the six-winged mantis sea monster was severely injured. It kept shaking its triangr head and letting out a sharp, shrill cry!


    Just then, the six-winged mantis made an abrupt and unbelievable move.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    It raised two of its wings that resembled steel des and shed at the sky!


    This pair of wings left its body immediately after and flew forward.


    Just imagine how terrifying it would be to have gigantic wings that were several dozen meters long flying through the air at high speed.


    "This is bad! Retreat quickly!"


    At this moment, the Compound Missile Unit''smander nervously issued an emergency order, and his troops quickly retreated.


    The missile carrier also drove back at full speed because the huge wings were undoubtedly aiming for them!


    Boom! Boom! Boom! Two earth-shattering explosions sounded as the terrifying wings stabbed deep into the ground. They almost destroyed several missileunchers on the spot.


    The scene was broadcasted at themand center in real time. Everyone who witnessed it was shocked and speechless.


    "Oh, my God, this can''t be real, can it? This sea monster actually used a skill that''s only found in science fiction?" someone eximed.


    "Yeah, can you still call it a ''skill?''" another person chimed in. "It can actually break off a part of its body and shoot it out to attack its enemy. This is simply unheard of!"


    "Chief, this is bad. The nature of these sea monsters is changing. I think we have to re-analyze them." Wu Mo''s voice was heavy.


    They went from the dozens of ordinary sea monsters in the beginning, to the hundred-meter-long sea monsters, and now this six-winged mantis. The speed of their evolution was shocking.


    This change made everyone in themand center worried. They dared not imagine how far these sea monsters would develop.


    "Keep attacking. The monster''s threat has been greatly reduced since it has lost its wings. We have to kill while its above the water!"


    When the old chief heard Wu Mo''s words, he sighed helplessly.


    At this point, they had no way to retreat and let this sea monster leave.


    Today, this sea monster had dealt a devastating blow to Haidong City.


    Huge panic had already swept through the whole of China, and even the entire world!


    With fear of the sea monsters increasing, the chief could only protect the human world with his iron fists and determination.


    His determination was extremely firm, and he would not allow any force to destroy it!


    Boom!


    The attack on the sea monster was like a punishment from hell. Thepound missiles wereparable to the wrath of a god as wave after wave hit the six-winged mantis sea monster.


    Its huge triangr head finally could not withstand the repeated strikes of several dozen missiles. Like a candle in the wind, its body began to sway.


    The sea monster''s head was already covered in wounds and fresh blood. Green blood gushed out of the countless bloody holes like a fountain.


    Its thin but sharp metal body cut through the surface of the water during this cruel battle as it tried to escape into the deep sea.


    However, what awaited it was a nuclear submarine that was ready to attack. It quickly followed up with thunderous torpedoes that were reminiscent of the Grim Reaper''s scythe. As a result, the sea monster shrieked and gradually slowed down.


    At this critical moment, the sea monster''s sharp eyes shed with a cold light.


    Its huge tentacles shook violently and pushed the surrounding seawater with a mysterious force.


    The soldiers on the submarine were surprised to find that the seawater around the monster seemed to be rotating in a specific way. This provided it with a powerful thrust and increased its speed in an instant.


    The giant in the deep sea then escaped from the nuclear submarine at an incredible speed.


    "Chase it! Make sure we catch up to it!"

 Chapter 479 The Great War Of The Sea Begins

    The submarine''smander quickly gave the order to pursue. He knew that this sea monster was the source of the disaster. If he allowed it to escape, he would not be able to exin himself.


    Today, he had to keep this demon here no matter the cost.


    The nuclear submarine pursued it at full speed. But the sea monster that was on the verge of death was still fleeing to the depths in a strange rhythm.


    The submarine gradually lost track of the monster at the bottom of the sea.


    Themander punched the instrument panel in anger. His face was filled with reluctance and defeat.


    Just a little more, and he would have killed this demon.


    When the soldiers returned to the base, their footsteps were heavy, and their expressions were gloomy.


    Their fingers were trembling by the time they arrived at the conference room.


    The confrontation with the terrifying sea monster had already left everyone with lingering fear.


    The sea monster seemed like something in a science fiction movie, and it had terrifying abilities. Its huge wings were like steel des, which it had pointed straight at the human armed forces.


    All of this was an absurd nightmare.


    At this moment, Wu Mo was surprised to find that apart from the Chinese military''s representatives, there were a few unfamiliar faces in the small conference room. They were obviously representatives from foreign countries.


    "Everyone, this matter is no longer just a local emergency. These sea monsters have even swam to distant seas. Everyone has probably seen their destructive power, right?" the old chief said solemnly.


    His voice was low and suppressed.


    The representatives of the other countries nodded silently as they were at a loss for words.


    Now, the sea monsters had be enemies with the world. All countries realized that China was not the only victim.


    This was now mankind''smon responsibility. No one could predict what kind of threat these sea monsters would present.


    They had already given the world a great shock.


    "Chief Wu, can you design an undersea corridor where we can transport advanced weapons and attack these sea monsters from a close range?" a representative from abroad suggested. Wu Mo shook his head and turned down the suggestion. "It''s too difficult to build an undersea corridor. We''re not talking about a simple invention but an extremelyplexrge-scale engineering facility. It''s almost impossible with our current level of technology."


    Everyone sighed helplessly, as they knew that this suggestion was wishful thinking.


    However, they would not give up if there was a small glimmer of hope. They wanted to try their best in dealing with this crisis.


    A military officer stood up and expressed his opinion, "Everyone, I believe the six-winged mantis monster must have left a deep impression on everyone today.


    "In this battle that concerns the fate of mankind, all representatives understand that no one can predict whether there will be simr monsters appearing in the future.


    "We''ve noticed that the sea monsters have gradually changed from moving in groups to moving alone. This isn''t a coincidence."


    Another officer stood up and added, "Now that this six-winged mantis sea monster has sessfully escaped our capture, we should mark it. Once this monster codenamed ''Steel Six-winged Mantis'' appears again, we will gather all our forces to kill it!"


    All of them epted the officer''s suggestion. The terrifying sea monster was named the Steel Six-winged Mantis so that they could mark it.


    "Although the number of Steel Six-winged Mantises is still unknown, I believe that there are definitely not many sea monsters as terrifying as them," an officer said confidently. "We''ve already destroyed the sea monsters'' nest. It''s likely that there are only a few survivors left!"


    However, Wu Mo had a different opinion.


    He said, "It''s hard to say if the appearance of the Steel Six-winged Mantis is a coincidence. The nuclear bomb destroyed the Heart of the Ocean, and that''s our biggest problem now. It''s a great issue because our data on the seabed is now back to zero!"


    For a moment, the meeting room fell silent.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Their hearts were heavy as they thought of a way to gather all their forces in the vast sea.They wanted to find monsters that were simr to the Six-winged Steel Mantis in advance.


    In the end, Wu Mo gave a thought-provoking point of view. "Everyone, right now, our biggest problem isn''t how to find these monsters."


    They all perked up their ears as they listened to Wu Mo''s words. They were trying to understand what he meant.


    Wu Mo continued, "Instead of searching for these monsters, we should concentrate all of our forces in one ce. When the monsters appear, we need to take care of them as quickly as possible!"


    Everyone nodded in agreement.


    Wu Mo had undoubtedly pointed out the most critical problem.


    Once the sea monsters appeared in the coastal cities, it would take a certain amount of time to defeat them no matter how quickly the armed forces gathered.


    In the meantime, the damage they caused would be enough to overwhelm human cities.


    Facing this huge challenge, everyone fell into deep thought.


    Currently, the biggest technical problem was figuring out how to kill the sea monsters the moment they appeared.


    There seemed to be only one way to solve this: Use nuclear bombs.


    However, the nuclear bomb was both a sharp weapon that hurt the enemy and a tumor that hurt oneself.


    They realized that the only way out was to invent a new type of weapon that could rece nuclear bombs and reduce the damage to human cities.


    When Wu Mo proposed this idea, he received the support of all who were present.


    After all, the power of such a weapon had to far exceed that of ordinarypound weapons.


    This weapon would notpletely rece nuclear bombs, and it did not necessarily have to be as destructive as a nuclear bomb in the process of defeating the terrifying monsters.


    Basically, this weapon should not createplex pollution like a nuclear bomb. It should not make a city barren and endanger it for decades.


    However, its research and development would undoubtedly be a huge burden for Wu Mo.


    He had already invested a lot of energy into the research of Life First, the uing Life Second, and the Heart of the Ocean. Even if he used the system''s power, he could not create such a terrifying new weapon.


    He knew that once this weapon was released, it wouldpletely change the world.


    In the past, people generally believed that only nuclear bombs could cause a destructive blow to a monster.


    Now, if Wu Mo could sessfully develop such a weapon, it would subvert this old notion.


    Wu Mo had already included this mission in his schedule because he understood that it might be the turning point in destroying the threat of sea monsters.


    "Bad news! Chief, there''s an urgent report from the front!"


    All of a sudden, an intelligence officer rushed into the conference room in a panic.


    He appeared flustered, and everyone present felt a sense of urgency.


    The old chief quickly grabbed the document in his hand. He only took a short nce before his expression changed drastically.


    "We''re living in troubled times! The time for humans to fight against the sea monsters hase!"


    The old chief''s voice was otherworldly and filled with vicissitudes of life. Those who heard him were greatly concerned.

 Chapter 480 Another Name For The Monsters

    The end of an era meant the arrival of another era. What strange changes would there be?


    Human civilization might no longer reign supreme. Had a worthy challenger finally arrived?


    Wu Mo saw the contents of the document as well.


    The coastal areas around the world were being attacked by terrifying sea monsters. Some were more than three hundred meters long, while others were even between four hundred and five hundred meters long!


    The Steel Six-winged Mantis had appeared once again, but it looked a little different this time.


    Its body was covered in orange patterns, and its eyes had returned to their oval shape. It could even spit a stream of fiery air out of its mouth.


    Wu Mo was shocked when he saw the wings in the picture.


    Although its overall size was simr to the Steel Six-winged Mantis from before, could it be another one since it looked so different?


    However, from the deep hatred in its oval eyes, Wu Mo could not help but think that this was the same monster that attacked China''s coast.


    It was waving its wings like a sharp knife and bringing it down with ferocious shes.


    Every strike would create deep trenches in the ground, destroy buildings, and even cause waves to floodrge areas ofnd.


    Meanwhile, its ws and feet were deeply rooted in the ground. Due to its powerful swing, web-like cracks had erupted on the ground and spread in all directions.


    "D*mn it! Isn''t this Steel Six-winged Mantis too terrifying?" An officer could not help but sigh.


    The document also showed that a coastal city in the northern part of China had been attacked by a monsterst night.


    However, the sea monster only harassed the city slightly before retreating on its own.


    Its appearance was captured from all angles, and it gave people chills.


    Everyone could clearly see that this monster resembled a giant undersea spider.


    It had an oval-shaped head, and when it spread its eightrge ws, it was more than three hundred meters long.


    The giant spider was ck, like a huge pile of cow dung, which made it impossible to tell where its eyes were.


    Its eight huge legs were also covered in barbs, each of which was more than ten meters long. It looked like a tree.


    To top it all off, the giant spider disyed a special skill simr to that of the Steel Six-winged Mantis.


    The barbs on one of its legs shot out in all directions and stabbed a row of fishing boats near the coast.


    These fishing boats were instantly torn into pieces.


    They weighed more than ten tons, but they were all destroyed by the spider in one move.


    Then, the spider monster quickly rose from the ground and momentarily floated in the air as it moved in a bizarre manner.


    When the humans responded and unleashed firepower to suppress it, the creature let out a strange cry and dived into the sea, disappearing without a trace.


    In addition to the two sea monsters they discovered, there was also a giant Titan Squid. However, its color and appearance werepletely different from previous Titan Squids.


    This Titan Squid was nearly three hundred meters long. It was more appropriate to call it the Titan Lord.


    It did not move toward the coastal cities, but attacked civilian ships passing by on the sea.


    These civilian ships had already received the news and avoided the shipwreck area.


    However, even though they were in the open sea so far away, they still encountered this terrifying giant squid.


    Facing the Titan Lord, even a huge civilian ship could not fight back.


    All the goods and people on the ship became food in the Titan Lord''s stomach.


    During this period of time, three sea monsters appeared one after another. Wu Mo clenched his fists, wishing he could smash the table in front of him into pieces.


    He felt an unprecedented pressure.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Looks like the old chief is right¡­ Human society is changing, and a new crisis ising! Mankind will face an unprecedented challenge. If this is not handled properly, this might change hands."


    Wu Mo''s tone was filled with anxiety.


    "Oh, right, Wu Mo, I think we have to give these sea monsters names. With code names, we can better track them wherever they go," the old chief suggested.


    At this moment, the old chief and a group of officers were considering that the two sea monsters that they discoveredter should have code names.


    They decided to keep the Six-Winged Steel Mantis'' name.


    An officer contemted for a while and felt that the giant spider sea monster was really omnipotent, so he suggested, "Why don''t we call it the Omni-dwelling Demon Spider?"


    Wu Mo nodded in agreement. He felt that this code name was quite appropriate.


    Wu Mo obviously named the nearly three-hundred-meter-long Titan Squid, "Titan Lord." It sounded more majestic.


    "The most serious problem now is that we don''t have the ability to kill the three sea monsters the moment they appear!" Wu Mo said in a heavy voice.


    He was depressed and thought of the weapon mentioned before, but it was not something that could be developed in a short time.


    Thus, they could only think of another way to deal with it.


    "In that case, we can only use the backup n. Set up firepower at the important coastal ports of the city and conduct long-range surveince 24 hours a day. Once they discover any abnormalities, they would be on standby at any time. When the sea monster appeared, they would concentrate their firepower and kill it!" the old chief suggested helplessly.


    However, this method required a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources.


    As long as the sea monsters did not appear, all the port cities had to maintain a high level of vignce.


    Every city was extremely important and could not withstand such an attack.


    Under the constant threat of sea monsters, people had no choice but to use all their skills.


    Day after day, night after night, the firepower of the coastal cities was never peaceful.


    Although it was impossible to predict the actions of the sea monsters, people had to be prepared at all times to meet these terrifying monsters at any time.


    However, in this endless fear, there was still a glimmer of hope.


    The ind cities could continuously provide support to the coastal cities, making the human defense line against the sea monsters even more indestructible.


    At least so far, these sea monsters had yet to show their ability tond. They only appeared briefly in the sea, disturbed the peace of the humans, and then quickly disappeared.


    At the same time, Wu Mo returned to the Institute of Special Biology and continued to observe the next batch of test subjects.


    These test subjects were students from the research and development training school.


    When they found out that they would be part of Chief Engineer Wu''s grand n, everyone was extremely excited!


    To them, receiving Life First to extend their lifespan and make them look younger was undoubtedly a great honor.


    Everyone was proud of this.


    Now, the total number of people who had been injected had reached five thousand. When the number reached ten thousand, there would be a qualitative change.


    At that time, Wu Mo would fully promote Life First and make it a universal experiment.


    Various ces would set up injection points to allow people to inject Life First nearby.


    Although the pharmaceutical ingredients were difficult to obtain, as the number of people injected increased, the benefits brought by the drug also increased.


    This was no longer a problem for Wu Mo.


    At this moment, Wu Mo felt that the time hade. He began to devote himself to the researchb and focused on developing Life Second.


    This potion could increase a person''s lifespan by sixty years and make them look as young as thirty years old. Everyone was fascinated by it!

 Chapter 481 The Calm Before The Storm

    After the old chief and a few military officers learned about Life Second, they immediately requested to be the first batch of test subjects.


    The Life First injection had been proven to be safe since it had no side effects. The benefits of Life Second were even more shocking.


    During this exciting moment, everyone could not wait to be the first to try Life Second.


    However, it was still a challenge for Wu Mo to develop such an unprecedented product in the field of biotechnology.


    Even though it was a big switch from the military field to biotechnology for Wu Mo, it was more like a means to continuously upgrade military products, rather than the ultimate goal.


    At this moment, he finally wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead.


    The reagent before him made him feel uneasy not because Life Second could not achieve the desired effect.


    Everything just suddenly seemed too perfect to Wu Mo, and there would inevitably be challenges awaiting him in the near future.


    By now, several officers in the Institute of Special Biology could not wait any longer.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, can Life Second really give us another sixty years? That''s unbelievable!" an officer asked excitedly.


    He was already in his fifties. If he could add another sixty years to his lifespan, he would only have lived less than half of his life.


    Imagine how emotional and exciting it was to know that he could live longer than the first half of his life at this age!


    What was even more unbelievable, after he received Life Second injection, he could look like he was thirty years old again. Everything felt like a dream.


    This officer became the first person to receive the injection as his heart beat nervously.


    While he appeared calm on the surface, it was difficult to hide the slight trembling in his body.


    Following the injection, he entered the observation room. Initial observation was set at seventy-two hours because Life Second was slightly different from Life First.


    Wu Mo estimated that if there were any abnormal reactions, they should be exposed within seventy-two hours.


    Soon after, the other officers also received the Life Second injections.


    The old chief could not make it for now because he was upied with work. However, he was prepared to receive the injectionter.


    Thanks to the poprization of Life First, Life Second gained enough of a reputation and credibility. No one doubted Wu Mo''s words.


    Sixty years of extra time and looking thirty years younger were now within their grasps!


    Feeling excited, all who received the injection entered the observation room.


    Right then, Wu Mo knew that he could finally give himself a good break and rx while the sea monsters were still missing in action.


    His nerves had been tense, so he needed to learn how to reduce his stress. Otherwise, the constant pressure would cause problems in the long run!


    Today, Wu Mo did not rush to Shanghai. Instead, he went back to his parents'' home to have a good meal with them.


    This time, Wu Mo was not going to be a freeloader. Instead, he took the initiative to visit the market for ingredients and decided to cook a delicious meal for his parents.


    Wu Mo had always been somewhat skilled in cooking. Although his skills were not heaven-defying, they were enough for him to make delicious food.


    Early in the morning, he got up and went to the market to buy the freshest ingredients.


    Ingredients were fresher at the market, so Wu Mo could choose the most delicious ones to cook a sumptuous dinner for his parents.


    Wu Mo bought the vegetables that his parents liked, a fish, two pig''s trotters, a strip of pork belly, a b of beef, and all kinds of snacks. He returned home with a full load.


    Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu were incredibly happy to see Wu Mo. Their son was actually cooking dinner for them despite his busy schedule, and it made them very emotional.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Their son was truly mature and sensible.


    Wu Mo smiled and said, "No matter how busy I am, I have to find time to keep youpany. Besides, I''m always acting like a freeloader and eating your food for free. I''ll feel bad if I don''t cook for you."


    Mrs. Wu red at her son. How was that considered freeloading?


    Wu Mo immediately entered the kitchen to begin cooking. Mrs. Wu wanted to go over and help, but Wu Mo politely rejected her offer. He just told her to sit on the couch and watch TV while she waited for the delicious food.


    In the kitchen, the knife and chopping board worked seamlessly together as they created a pleasant tinkling sound.


    Not long after, Wu Mo started preparing a stir-fry. The fragrance quietly filled the air, like a warm hug that surrounded the entire living room.


    The rich fragrance came from the perfect fusion of beef, cumin, and coriander. It was intoxicating and irresistible.


    This coriander beef dish was a great test of one''s cooking skills. It was simple but extremely unique and tempting. It was enough to make a person eat three big bowls of it in one sitting.


    Wu Mo had prepared five dishes in just forty minutes. The three of them had dinner together and fully enjoyed the joy of family.


    The dining table was filled withughter and banter as they chatted about recent interesting events.


    Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu enjoyed this rare family time together. They had seen on television that the world was facing the threat of sea monsters. Being a pir of the country, their son would soon go to war.


    They knew that such beautiful moments would be even more precious in the future.


    After the meal, Mr. Wu smoked one cigarette after another as he fell into deep thought.


    Mrs. Wu held Wu Mo''s hand and sat on the couch. "Son, when you go to the coastal area, you have to keep yourself safe. Don''t put yourself in dangerous situations, okay?" she said with concern.


    Wu Mo nodded and consoled her, "Mom, don''t worry. I''ll do as you say. I won''t make you worry."


    Wu Mo observed his parents for a while and found that they still showed visible traces of Life First in their system.


    He wanted to inject his parents with Life Second, but he was worried that their bodies would reject it.


    After all, the trials for Life Second had started with the soldiers. It would gradually spread to the young people before finally reaching the middle-aged and elderly people. That was the safest route.


    Thus, Wu Mo temporarily pushed the thought to the back of his mind.


    Good times were always fleeting.


    After he spent the day off, Wu Mo remembered that he had to make ns for what might happen next.


    Suddenly, a sense of urgency welled up in his heart. He realized that he had to return to the base as soon as possible to prepare for the uing battle.


    At this moment, Wu Mo could only send a text message to Shen Qingya. He could not fly to Shanghai to meet her in person.


    Nevertheless, he believed that his future with Shen Qingya was still full of hope. The two of them would spend a long time together, hand in hand for the rest of their lives.


    Shen Qingya understood how busy Wu Mo was too, so she did her best to be a top student on campus.


    Wu Mo''s first task upon returning to the base was to continue perfecting Life Second. This would ensure that its potential ws were eliminated in time.


    After all, its test subjects were all military officers, and their safety could not bepromised.


    The arrival of the sea monsters brought unprecedented challenges to mankind.


    Now, more than ten sea monsters had appeared, and there would be new discoveries every few days.


    Wu Mo knew that the old man''s prophecy hade true. A brand new era had arrived.

 Chapter 482 Sea Monster King

    Humans might have once been the rulers of this, but now they had to reidentify themselves and see themselves as an ordinary race to engage in a life-and-death battle with the sea monsters.


    Only after a fierce battle could they determine who reigned supreme on this.


    Despite mankind''s technology and strength, they were helpless against these huge sea monsters.


    The huge size of the sea monsters and their various unique skills allowed them to quickly disappear after the destruction, and the means of tracking by humans were also very limited.


    Finally, on this day, the appearance of a sea monster alerted Wu Mo and all the officers.


    In a small conference room, an officer introduced the sea monster.


    Wu Mo saw that the sea monster had transformed from a beast to a humanoid in just a minute.


    This sea monster in human form was very terrifying. There was a bulge on its head that looked like a crown.


    Its noble figure was draped in a gorgeous cloak, but upon closer inspection, it was actually not a real cloak, but a substance simr to a membrane extending from the back of its neck.


    This thick membrane hung high and swayed in the wind behind it, making it look as mysterious as a cloak.


    The reason why this humanoid sea monster was called the Sea Monster King was because it looked extremely simr to an emperor in ancient legends.


    It was unique because it was the only known sea monster that could transform, and after its transformation, it had characteristics that were the closest to humans.


    When this extremely intelligent creature transformed into a human, its intelligence also rapidly increased.


    It knew how to target the vital facilities of humans, how to kill them in one blow, and how to retreat safely.


    When the Sea Monster King was born, its original form and human form had long been recorded by humans, but this did not seem to affect its deterrence at all.


    It might have been lurking in the dark, but once it appeared, it would shock the world!


    In the past two days, the Sea Monster King had attacked seven times. Two of them were focused on destruction, and the other five times were to retreat as soon as they appeared.


    Faced with such a powerful enemy, the nuclear submarine fleet and three next-powered aircraft carrier fleets patrolled around the clock in an attempt to capture this cunning enemy.


    However, the depressing fact was that the patrol team had never encountered these sea monsters in this area.


    The officers began to whisper to each other. This meant that these sea monsters could deliberately avoid radar detection devices and know where there was firepower patrolling at sea!


    "At present, we have deployedpound missiles in major coastal cities in an attempt to establish a fire connectionwork to ensure that any city covered by thiswork will arrive within ten minutes of being attacked."


    As soon as the officer finished speaking, everyone in the conference room nodded secretly. This might be the best they could do in the current difficult situation.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, is the n for the undersea corridor really impossible to realize?" an officer could not help but ask in a low voice.


    There was a trace of anxiety in his emotions.


    He and Wu Mo had worked together in the same R&D Department, and they were both technical officers.


    He knew how talented Wu Mo was, so it shouldn''t be difficult for him to challenge it.


    Even though the undersea corridor project was huge and required all of China to do its best, there should be more solutions than difficulties, right?


    If there was an undersea corridor, their current predicament would definitely be greatly improved. At least, they would not be as passive as they were now.


    "If you can convince the old chief, I''m willing to give it a try."


    However, Wu Mo knew that the old chief would not agree to this n.


    The undersea corridor required a huge amount of manpower and resources. It was better to use these resources in other areas, such as weapons development.


    "Wu Mo, if we can''t make a major breakthrough in the field of weapons, I''m afraid human society will decline from the sea monsters'' endless destruction."


    The officer spoke with extreme pain, and his words were full of worry as well as helplessness for the future.


    As soon as the small meeting ended, Wu Mo received an emergency notification from the Institute of Special Biology. He rushed over without hesitation.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    It turned out that the first batch of officers under observation were fine. They had sessfully left the observation room.


    The moment they walked out, everyone was stunned. Were these the officers who had been through hundreds of battles?


    Their young faces, high morale, and sharp eyes brought them back to a time when they were still full of fighting spirit.


    Naturally, the officers quickly noticed the changes in their bodies.


    Just by raising their hands, they could feel the vitality in their body. It was as if their youth had never left them.


    "Hahaha! Life Second is indeed miraculous! Its effect is perfect beyond our imagination!" An officerughed out loud.


    He was very satisfied with his current appearance. This would give him more energy to deal with the challenges brought by the sea monsters.


    Wu Mo had been looking forward to this. When he learned that the officers'' trials had been sessful, the huge weight in his heart was finally lifted.


    These experienced officers had regained their youth. Once this news spread, it would definitely shock countless people.


    After the officers left the base, they immediately returned to their posts.


    After all, the threat of the sea monsters was bing more and more serious. They could not sit idly by and do nothing. All departments and positions were in urgent need of manpower.


    The sea monsters were approaching, and no one could predict where their next target would be!


    On one terrifying day, two fearsome sea monsters gathered together.


    This was the possibility that Wu Mo and the old chief had discussed before. These sea monsters might havee from the same mysterious nest and had some kind of close connection with each other.


    In the early morning before dawn, two huge shadows shed across the sea near the ind port, making people shudder.


    One of them was a huge ck monster that looked like a loaf of bread. When it slowly spread its eight giant ws out, people realized in horror that it was an Omni-dwelling Demon Spider.


    As for the other creature, it looked like a pangolin at first, but in just a minute, it quickly transformed into a humanoid!


    "Look! The sea monsters havee to end things!"


    The scene before them was frightening, but these sea monsters were no longer unfamiliar to humans.


    When the era of the sea monster arrived, no information could be hidden.


    Therefore, the old chief took the initiative to disclose specific information about the sea monsters to reduce panic among the people.


    "Impossible! It''s the Sea Monster King! Legend has it that it''s the strongest of all sea monsters!"


    "Yeah, how could it not be the Sea Monster King?"


    "It''sing toward us. Retreat, quickly¡­"


    Even though it was still early in the morning, the residents of the entire city were awakened.


    On the streets, people screamed as they rushed out of their homes and fled ind in all directions!


    The Sea Monster King had finally made its move!


    The huge "cloak" on its back fluttered in the strong wind and even caused waves to cover the clouds.


    Its two front ws that looked like the hands of a human slowly closed together. It let out a terrifying cry before it dived into the sea!


    Boom! In an instant, the waves surged into the sky and formed a terrifying tsunami.


    Fortunately, in view of the current grim situation, all therge civilian ships near the port had been evacuated, and no one was in the vicinity.


    As such, there were no casualties from the tsunami for the time being.

 Chapter 483 Failed Capture

    As the troops quickly responded to themand points nearby and activated the nuclear submarines, they quietly moved from the depths of the sea.


    Seeing that the two sea monsters were about to be trapped by the dense submarine formation, they did not notice the danger that was quietly approaching.


    The monsters continued to disy their unique abilities andunched a fierce attack on the bustling port city.


    The defensework onnd could no longer withstand this destructive force, and it was forced to retreat.


    Themander was shocked. It was originally just a battle with the Omni-dwelling Demon Spider, but he did not expect the terrifying creature to evolve.


    The Omni-dwelling Demon Spider''s defense became even stronger, and its giant tree-like barbs became even more ferocious and terrifying. They could even explode the moment they shot out, and their power was astonishing.


    The submarine formation was dispatched tounch long-range high-speed torpedoes and conventional torpedoes. The cruisers also quickly coordinated and fired their electromaic cannons at full power.


    It was as if doomsday had arrived. The terrifying firepower shrouded the two giant beasts.


    The giant spider monster struggled in the sea of fire and fled into the depths of the sea as it shrieked.


    The nuclear submarine was in hot pursuit, but the monster had a unique way of utilizing propulsion force in the sea water, and it was about to disappear from sight.


    The Sea Monster King did not escape like the Omni-dwelling Demon Spider. Instead, it chose to take the firepower head-on.


    The old chief, Wu Mo, and the others widened their eyes. Their hearts were filled with nervousness and anticipation.


    These sea monsters that were given code names were like invincible bosses in a science fiction game. If they could capture one, it would be of great benefit to their future research.


    The old chief attached great importance to this operation. He personally went to the front line, and he was only three kilometers away from the Sea Monster King.


    Wu Mo followed closely and paid close attention to the Sea Monster King''s every move.


    There were also many biologists and paleontologists present.


    News reporters quickly rushed to the scene to report on this magnificent capture operation.


    Everyone seemed to feel that this operation had a chance of sess when it came to capturing the Sea Monster King.


    If they could subdue this monster, it would undoubtedly greatly boost the morale of the people!


    After all, human society had been frequently attacked by these terrifying sea monsters as ofte. This had brought endless pressure and panic to the public.


    A victory now would bring great relief and allow people to regain their confidence!


    However, the Sea Monster King''s intelligence was truly astonishing. When it realized that it had fallen into a trap, its eyes widened.


    In the end, it stillunched a fierce resistance!


    Since the Sea Monster King was almost as intelligent as a human, it immediately discovered arge amount of firepower quietly approaching him.


    Right then, an inescapable had already been set up. The old chief, a few officers, Wu Mo, and the others were all watching the battle with bated breath.


    Yet, under such a tight of fire, the Sea Monster King still managed to escape.


    This could only mean one thing: Mankind''s current armed forces could no longer contend against these sea monsters!


    The spider sea monster in the distance had already fled far away. It wailed again and again as if it felt sympathy for itspanion.


    Trapped by the terrifying web of firepower, the Sea Monster King''s body was covered in dense wounds.


    However, it still clenched its ws, which had evolved to resemble a human''s palm, and mmed it hard into the ground!


    Boom!


    At this moment, arge part of the coastal foundation sank into the sea.


    However, the Sea Monster King did not give up. It kept swinging its fists because it was trying to smash the reinforcements that were rushing over.


    "This does not look good. Hurry up and cover fire. Its starting to go berserk!"


    Themander at the front immediately realized that something was wrong.


    Right then, he had to use firepower to repel the monster. Otherwise, when it got close, it would cause irreparable losses even if he killed it.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The cannon fire was like a furious thunderbolt as it bombarded the Sea Monster King''s body.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Its huge body was trembling in pain under the brutal artillery fire, but it still moved forward with firm steps albeit with great difficulty.


    Although it was slow, the Sea Monster King had never given up on its attempt to defeat the humans.


    At this moment of life and death, the Sea Monster King endured endless pain and tried to approach the coastal area.


    Every step left a bloody wound on its huge body.


    However, just when things reached a fever pitch, a jaw-dropping scene unfolded!


    A look of mockery shed across the Sea Monster King''s eyes.


    Immediately after, the thin membrane that had seemingly dried up on its body rolled up in the wind and ruthlessly enveoped the forces at the forefront!


    "D*mn it! This monster has such a special skill? Those in front, cover us!"


    The officer in themand center instantly realized the danger and issued an emergency order.


    The highpound missile carrier quickly retreated and tried to avoid the beast''s terrifying attack.


    The huge membrane covered the entire battlefield as if darkness had descended.


    Some of the soldiers could no longer tolerate it, and their hearts were filled with hatred for the sea monster. They wanted nothing more than to charge up and fight it to the death.


    However, their impulsive actions were stopped in time, because they would pay a painful price if they fought the sea monster in closebat.


    "Chief, why don''t we let this monster go and kill it with a nuclear bomb when it reaches the deep sea? How about that?" Wu Mo suggested thoughtfully.


    Everyone''s eyes instantly lit up when they heard his proposal.


    The old chief nodded but frowned soon after. He could not help but worry. If the Sea Monster King escaped and used the advantage of the deep sea to disappear, what should he do?


    Wu Mo was also well aware of this problem. At this point, he did not know how to deal with it either.


    "Let''s use the highpound missile to kill it first!"


    The old chief did not hesitate to give such serious orders.


    Amid the sound of ring horns, the highpound missile pierced the sky like an arrow, and the submarine formation also opened fire.


    The Sea Monster King finally couldn''t take it anymore, and it let out a series of mournful wails!


    At this moment, the Sea Monster King was like an injured beast. It did not care about the injuries on its body as it tried its best to escape into the deep sea.


    Its body rapidly underwent a strange transformation as it turned from a humanoid into a strange creature simr to a pangolin.


    Wu Mo stared at the screen and watched its entire transformation process in shock.


    He thought to himself, ''It can actually transform like this? This is simply unheard of. It''s like something out of a movie!"


    After it transformed into its "pangolin form," the Sea Monster King''s movement speed suddenly increased.


    It cleverly hid its body in the depths of the sea and navigated the current like a submarine.


    "Bad news. Its moving faster and faster. We have to make a prompt decision!"


    Themander at the front nervously ordered the highpound missile and nuclear submarine to lock on to the target and chase after it.


    The blue-light lock-on device was urate. Soon, a highlyplex missile carrying an excessive amount of ammunition pierced through the sea and sank hundreds of meters deep!


    Boom!


    With a loud bang, the sea surged, and blood and limbs shot to the surface of the water.


    Everyone held their breaths and focused on the scene on the screen.


    It was a w that was nearly a hundred meters long. Its surface was covered in scales, and it was badly mutted, hence it looked horrifying.


    The Sea Monster King then disappeared after a loud roar!


    "D*mn it! It still escaped, but I destroyed one of its ws!"

 Chapter 484 A New Type Of Ray Weapon

    Wu Mo knew that the monster had managed to escape, but the troops at the forefront were bringing the huge monster w back.


    Once the stump was quickly transported back to the research center, everyone''s eyes were fixed on it.


    They all carefully analyzed theposition of the w, and its scales were so thick that they were rendered speechless.


    Following a meticulous study, they found that it was very difficult for existing weapons to tear it open. The monster''s skin was also extremely tough.


    "D*mn it, is it true that we can''t deal with this monster using our current weapons?"


    When Wu Mo and the old chief saw the w''s structure, they frowned.


    Its toughness was unbelievable!


    The sea monster''s defense was far beyond their imagination.


    Even though Wu Mo had anticipated the Sea Monster King''s defense to be even stronger than the Omni-dwelling Demon Spider''s and Titan Lord''s, he still never thought it would be so shocking!


    "We have to find a way to deal devastating damage to these monsters, rather than tickle them endlessly with conventional weapons."


    The old chief had already decided that it was imperative to develop new weapons.


    This arduous task naturally fell on Wu Mo''s shoulders.


    "Wu Mo,e with me."


    The old chief immediately brought Wu Mo to the side.


    "Wu Mo, do you have any ideas for a new weapon?" the old chief asked seriously as his eyes shone with anticipation.


    He knew that if Wu Mo was able to develop a weapon that could break through the monsters'' defense, they could reverse the situation.


    "I think we should give up on electromaic firepower," Wu Mo said after pondering for a moment. "We should focus on a ray device."


    The old chief nodded and praised, "That''s right. The power of a ray device is indeed amazing!"


    Although he was not a military designer, he knew the terrifying power of all kinds of rays in the universe.


    Light years away, ray bursts produced by the explosion of an old could even travel through the entire gxy.


    Whenever a came into contact with a ray burst, it would probably be destroyed without a trace.


    Just imagine, if the power of such rays was enough to destroy an entire, the new weapon would be immeasurably powerful with the same rays.


    "The new weapon can borrow the power of cosmic explosions. Although it can''tpare to the real explosion, if it''s incorporated with a high-density ray device, it can definitely cause destructive damage to the monsters." Wu Mo said firmly.


    The old chief''s heart stirred when he heard that. He patted Wu Mo on the shoulder excitedly and showed his support. "Wu Mo, I''ll leave this difficult mission to you!"


    Wu Mo nodded with a bitter smile. He returned to the research base and immediately began his research.


    Although it was extremely difficult to develop a high-density ray device, he realized that he could use the promotion and poprity of Life Second to earn enough system points in a short period of time.


    At this time, the application of Life Second was already in full swing. Compared to Life First, the number of people receiving this injection was much smaller.


    Life First had already entered the stage of widespread use, and about a hundred thousand people had already been injected with it.


    Only a few hundred people had been injected with Life Second, but this was enough to prove its stability.


    Wu Mo needed time. He had a lot of urgent projects to develop.


    The sea monsters did not pose a serious threat to humans for now. From time to time, they would just cause a ruckus in the coastal city before retreating.


    It seemed that the humans'' rapid response with firepower had left an impact.


    The monsters understood that if they stayed in a fixed location for a long time, they would be intercepted by firepower and be trapped.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Wu Mo and the others had guessed that once the Sea Monster King was injured, it would experience a slow recovery despite its high defense.


    Therefore, it was not surprising that there was no sign of the Sea Monster King during this period of time.


    Wu Mo noticed that there had been more injections of Life Second.


    Following his instructions, the Institute of Special Biology promoted the injection of Life First every day, and at the same time, they also conducted arge number of trials on Life Second.


    Now, Life Second was basically past the trial stage.


    However,pared to Life First, the number of people who had been injected with it was still far inferior.


    After all, Life Second could add sixty years to a human''s lifespan and make them thirty years younger. As such, people were in disbelief and suspicious of it.


    Therefore, Life First was far ahead in terms of numbers. Although Life Second was trying hard to catch up, it was still behind.


    On this day, Wu Mo decided to use the media to publicize the true effects of Life Second to eliminate the public''s doubts.


    As expected, the publicity generated was beyond expectations. In turn, the number of people who were injected with Life Second in a single day finally surpassed Life First. It reached an astonishing two thousand per day.


    In just ten days, the number of people had exceeded twenty thousand. Wu Mo could finally determine the prerequisites to develop a high-density ray device.


    After three days of hard work, Wu Mo finallypleted the high-density ray device in theboratory.


    After the news spread, the entire base was in an uproar.


    Many officers and high-ranking officers came to the research room to check on Wu Mo''s results. Even the old general was rmed.


    The old chief was already exhausted. He had been dealing with the invasion of sea monsters every day.


    Now that he had learned of this good news, he immediately felt excited.


    The advent of this weapon was undoubtedly great news for mankind.


    Not long after, everyone was standing in the research room on the base. Before them was a machine gun that was about ny centimeters long. Its shooting range was from nine hundred to a thousand meters.


    As for it pitch-ck steel body, it glinted with a menacing cold light.


    When they touched the machine gun, the texture of metal particles hit them.


    An officer carefully yed with it and asked in confusion, "Chief Engineer Wu, this machine gun seems different from any existing machine gun. Did you develop this yourself?"


    Wu Mo nodded.


    A high-density ray device was not easy to carry, and it could not be ced onrge weapons such as a destroyer or cruiser for now.


    Therefore, he could only use the machine gun as a temporary medium.


    If someone dismantled this machine gun, they would find that its internal structure was extremelyplicated and difficult to describe in a short sentence.


    "The principle of high-density rays originates from the gamma-ray bursts produced by the explosions of red giant stars in the universe," Wu Mo exined to everyone. "A ray like this has a huge amount of energy, and it''s difficult for us to fully simte its power. However, I''ve simted part of a ray burst''s effect in this machine gun. Once you encounter a sea monster, its power will definitely surprise you."


    "But its range is only a thousand meters. We''ll be easily injured if we shoot a sea monster from such a close distance," an officer said.


    Wu Mo replied, "Even though there''s a certain degree of danger being a thousand meters away, we can use armored vehicles or tall buildings as cover. When the monsters drop their guard, we can give them a fatal blow. Once we defeat them, we can immediately retreat. There are still some shorings in this high-density ray machine gun, though. For example, its range needs to be further improved as you pointed out, but we will solve these problems one by one."


    "You''ve made a huge breakthrough by developing a high-density ray device. I believe that with this as a starting point, the subsequent series of high-density ray devices will follow swiftly," the old chief praised.


    Wu Mo nodded in agreement.


    Right then, the rm on the base red again.

 Chapter 485 Hero

    In the past, everyone would panic at the sound of the rm, but they were used to it now.


    The rm indicated that sea monsters were attacking the human coastal cities.


    The old chief walked into themand center, and a few officers, including Wu Mo, followed suit.


    The screen clearly showed that five terrifying sea monsters with code names were gathering to attack a port city on the southeastern coast.


    This port city with a long history of trade was facing a huge threat.


    The five sea monsters gradually approached it and used their unique skills to instantly destroy the entire port.


    Fortunately, the port city was prepared for the arrival of such monsters.


    It had been cleared, and the sea monsters could only destroy a limited number of things.


    Even so, armed forces quickly arrived on the scene and instantly formed a defensive.


    This kept the monsters in the sea and five hundred meters away from the coast.


    Additionally, Wu Mo was ready to test whether his newly developed high-density ray device could work.


    Therefore, the machine gun was urgently sent to the coastal city.


    The attacks of the five sea monsters came like a tidal wave, but this bought time for everyone to set up their defenses.


    Someone eximed, "Look! That''s an evolved Omni-dwelling Demon Spider! And that one should be the Titan Lord!"


    Two of the monsters had been identified. The other two were rare, but they had also been given code names by the military.


    Meanwhile, thest unfamiliar sea monster was no weaker than any of the others.


    At this moment, the five sea monsters attacked in a frenzy. Their eyes were filled with hatred as if they were exacting revenge on the humans.


    "These five sea monsters might be joining forces to dole out justice on us humans because the Sea Monster King was injured," the old chief said in a deep voice.


    Wu Mo nodded. Clearly, these sea monsters were extremely vengeful.


    Under the cover of the armored vehicles, the high-intensity ray machine gun gradually entered the firing range. The sea monsters were only two hundred meters away from the port at this point.


    All of a sudden, the machine gun fired a terrifying beam that shot straight into the sky!


    The purple light shed in the air and caught everyone by surprise.


    This beam of light that could seemingly destroy the world condensed into a ray of light that instantly pierced through one of the monsters'' single eye.


    The sea monster let out a miserable cry and trembled intensely.


    It rolled around in the sea and stopped moving after a while.


    "He killed it!" someone eximed in surprise. He actually killed a sea monster! It''s too powerful. This is the terror of a high-intensity ray device!"


    Everyone was extremely excited, and this event undoubtedly boosted their morale.


    When the sea monsters first appeared, no weapon could defeat them in a short time.


    Of course, nuclear bombs were an exception, but it was impossible for them to drop nuclear bombs near coastal cities.


    At this critical moment, the high-intensity ray machine gun disyed its astonishing power. It could fatally hit the sea monster within a kilometer''s range and kill it in one shot.


    This groundbreaking invention greatly improved the humans'' ability to fight the sea monsters.


    The atmosphere in the entiremand center instantly became cheerful, and the heavy haze that had umted over the past few days quietly dispersed.


    When Wu Mo saw this, he finally heaved a sigh of relief.


    Without a doubt, the advent of this machine gun heralded a new era in the development of human weapons.


    Once this high-intensity ray device was mass-produced and equipped in the army, how lethal would it be.


    With that said, Wu Mo knew howplicated the manufacturing process of this machine gun would be. Even top military factories might not be able to develop it quickly.


    Therefore, he needed to improve in the future to increase its range, stability, and other aspects.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Even so, this model was enough to deal with five sea monsters.


    After one was killed, the other four sea monsters became frightened and retreated.


    However, they quickly regained their courage and rushed to the port again after they protected the vital parts of their bodies.


    This made the machine gun operator even more cautious. He could not waste his nine shots.


    Finally, after some precise calctions, the machine gun operator found the perfect angle and timing to release the purple ray.


    The ray hit a ck orifice on the Omni-dwelling Demon Spider''s body, which was either its eye or mouth.


    There was a sh of purple light, and the demonic spider let out an ear-piercing shriek that was reminiscent of a jet ne taking off.


    For a moment, waves surged as if they were being pushed by the screams, and they rushed toward the port.


    The crowd watched the oing waves and retreated as they prayed silently for victory in this fierce battle.


    The Omni-dwelling Demon Spider actually turned around and fled after it was seriously injured. Although it did not die immediately, itsbat strength had been greatly reduced.


    Seeing this, the remaining three sea monsters tried to grab the opportunity to retreat as well.


    However, one more ray of light pierced through the sky and urately hit another sea monster. While it did not hit its vital points, it caused serious injury.


    By then, the high-intensity ray gun''s firing count had been exhausted, and they could only wait for it to recharge.


    Mankind could only rely onpound weapons and nuclear submarines to counterattack.


    The remaining three sea monsters were very cunning. They discovered that the humans could no longer use the high-intensity ray machine gun. As a result, they immediately turned the bow of the ship andunched a counterattack.


    They hid cleverly in the sea and only revealed a small part of the water''s surface before quickly rushing to the port.


    When they were about 150 meters away from the port, they suddenly exposed their bodies to the surface of the sea andunched a fierce attack.


    In themand center, the old chief could not help but ask Wu Mo if he could modify the high-intensity ray machine gun so that it could fire without limit.


    Wu Mo mentioned that the next step of his improvement n was to mass-produce machine guns and install them on cruisers or destroyers.


    The old chief expressed his support, but the current emergency situation could not wait.


    On the screen, the fatal threat of the three sea monsters put the people in despair.


    Perhaps it was due to the deaths of theirpanions and the Omni-dwelling Demon Spider''s injuries, but they ignored their own pain and fought bravely.


    Such a recklessbat approach madepound missiles ineffective.


    In moments of desperation, humans had to stand tall and fight these crafty sea monsters to the death, strengthen their resolve, and protect their homnd.


    Future improvements and research had to also be carried out continuously to provide more powerful weapons for mankind''s survival.


    It was the only way they could obtain the final victory in their battle against the sea monsters.


    Just then, an urgent message came from the front line. A group of brave warriors had volunteered to act as bait to lure the three sea monsters into the deep sea and destroy them with nuclear bombs.


    The old chief and all the officers fell silent. They sighed at the soldiers'' bravery and fearlessness.


    Wu Mo was also moved. One should know that this mission was not easy.


    First of all, luring the sea monster into the deep sea required them to travel a long distance, and these soldiers could be killed by a sea monster at any time.


    Second of all, even if they sessfully lured the monsters to the deep sea, the soldiers would not be able to evacuate in time when the nuclear bomb wasunched.


    Even if they did not have physical contact with the nuclear bomb, they would not be able to escape the demonic ws of radiation, which would leave behind serious repercussions.


    In themand center, everyone sighed deeply and did not know how to respond.


    Someone had thought of sending special forces to lure the sea monsters away from the port and destroy them with a small nuclear bomb near the coast.


    However, this would inevitably cost the outstanding elite warriors their lives.

 Chapter 486 China Is Soaring

    It might be understandable in times of war, but in this era, people were deeply affected by such sacrifices.


    Hence, although some had such an idea, no one really pushed for it.


    That aside, these warriors had stepped forward without hesitation to sacrifice themselves for the entire human society in a time of crisis.


    Tears welled up in the old chief''s eyes as he sobbed and requested to speak to these brave soldiers personally.


    Wu Mo was also speechless. He was deeply moved by them and was even more eager to develop high-intensity beam weapons to reduce the sacrifice of China''s elite.


    The video connection was sessful, and eight young warriors appeared on the screen.


    Their faces looked young and tender, but they revealed their firm beliefs.


    Every officer was proud of him. He was a fearless soldier, the most courageous warrior on Earth!


    The old chief instructed them earnestly, "You must be extremely careful when carrying out your mission. Everything is based on your own safety. If you find that you can''t lure the sea monster to the deep sea, you must retreat immediately. Do you understand?"


    The old chief looked stern, but his sonorous and powerful voice revealed deep concern.


    The eight young warriors nodded firmly without any fear.


    "Good! I will send a nuclear submarine to protect you. You will appear on the open sea cruiser in front of the sea monster and then head southeast. We will have someone report the specifictitude andtitude at any time."


    An officer exined the mission to the eight soldiers in detail.


    The eight soldiers listened attentively, their eyes focused like robots.


    They were young, but their willpower was firm, and their beliefs were enough to shake the world.


    "Don''t worry, Chief. Don''t worry, we will definitelyplete the mission!"


    After the eight soldiers saluted, the video cut off.


    They boarded the target cruiser and slowly sailed from the port to the coastal waters.


    When the three sea monsters saw the cruiser swaggering out, they chased after it furiously.


    The cruiser immediately turned and slowly elerated.


    Among the eight warriors, there were experts who piloted cruisers. They controlled their speed well, making the sea monster chase after them but unable to catch up.


    Due to the death and injury of their own kind, the three sea monsters hated it and wanted to devour the cruiser.


    Thus, the cruiser sessfully lured the sea monster out of the port and into the deep sea.


    In the centralmand center behind him.


    The old chief, Wu Mo, the soldiers of different ranks, and the live stream viewers all watched this scene as they bid farewell to these soldiers.


    Their names would forever be engraved on the monument of human history and be praised by all generations.


    They were heroes, the heroes who lured the sea monsters to save mankind!


    At this moment, everyone silently saluted the back of the cruiser.


    About four hourster, the Cangzhou cruiser sessfully lured three sea monsters into the deep sea.


    "Report to the central controlmand center. We can detonate the small nuclear bomb!" one of the warriors said with a determined look.


    Themand center immediately gave the order to detonate the small nuclear bomb.


    At this moment, Wu Mo''s heart sank. He couldn''t bear to look at the scene on the screen.


    The moment the nuclear bomb detonated


    A huge mushroom cloud instantly exploded near the three sea monsters. A terrifying power that seemed to be able to shatter the heavens and earth spread wildly in all directions.


    In order to ensure that the nuclear bombs could cause fatal damage to the three sea monsters, the eight brave soldiers could only speed up at the moment of detonation and escape from the scene.


    The cruiser was instantly melted by the high temperature, and the eight soldiers jumped into the sinking lifeboat without hesitation.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    They tried their best to drive the lifeboat forward, but they still could not escape the pursuit of the aftermath of the nuclear explosion.


    The waves were like raging beasts, mercilessly swallowing their tracks.


    Upon seeing this scene, all the people who witnessed this scene instantly burst into tears, their hearts filled with endless grief.


    An officer couldn''t bear such a price and clenched his fists angrily.


    Wu Mo, on the other hand, felt the heavy responsibility on his shoulders. He was even more determined to develop more advanced weapons to ensure that such a tragedy would not repeat itself.


    The atmosphere of glory and sorrow enveloped the entire scene.


    However, behind this tragic scene, the three sea monsters that once terrified people had been destroyed forever and could no longer harm the human homnd.


    "Using eight heroes'' lives in exchange for the destruction of three sea monsters, the price is too heavy!" an officer shouted at the top of his lungs.


    Wu Mo knew that his mission was even more difficult. He had to speed up the development of high-density ray weapons to ensure that humans had an advantage in the battle against sea monsters.


    After returning to the Institute of Special Biology, Wu Mo realized that the poprity of the Life Second potion had gradually caught up to that of Life First.


    About two thousand people had been injected with Life Second, and each of them was immersed in uncontroble joy.


    This was because not only did they gain longevity, but their faces were also radiant, as if they had returned to their youth.


    The door of the research institute slowly closed.


    He watched as groups of people left.


    After they were injected with the mysterious Life Second, they were glowing with incredible youthful vitality.


    There was no difort in their bodies. On the contrary, they seemed to have regained the vitality of their youth.


    When their friends and rtives saw these new figures, they were all shocked. They could not associate them with their old rtives.


    The effect of Life Second was so shocking that everyone was amazed. It even surpassed the effect of the Life First.


    At this moment, the Life First had already spread to every corner of China, and people''s lifespans had been greatly extended.


    The entire country was bathed in unparalleled vitality, making other countries envious. They sent teams of experts to China to ask for advice on the research results of Life First and Life Second.


    Wu Mo did not skimp on his responsibilities to these experts. Instead, he wholeheartedly supported their research.


    However, after a series of intense experimental analysis, these foreign experts could only shake their heads regretfully.


    Theposition of Life First and Life Second''s potions was truly inconceivable. No matter how hard they tried, they could not replicate the same results.


    Wu Mo''s research results were a great contribution to the Chinese people, representing another peak in the field of biotechnology.


    Faced with the foreign experts pleading for the sale of the medicine, Wu Mo firmly shook his head and refused.


    This was a life potion that belonged to the people of China. It carried the ancient tradition and dream of ascending to the sky and looking at the moon to live with heaven and earth.


    Although the foreign experts felt regretful, they could understand Wu Mo''s decision.


    After all, no one would be willing to share such a heaven-defying potion with others.


    As Life Second was gradually bing more and more popr.


    As Wu Mo umted more and more points, he decided to develop more carriers for high-precision ray weapons.


    The first was to upgrade the high-density beam weapon from a machine gun to a cannon. This improvement was crucial.


    If it seeded, it would greatly increase its range, and at the same time, increase its concealment and stability, raising itsbat power to a higher level.


    After the high-density beam cannon was sessfully developed, Wu Mo could set his sights on more equipment tforms, such asnd cruisers and destroyer.


    He knew that he could not rush every step, and once the high-density ray cannon was invented, those deep-sea monsters would no longer pose a threat.


    These monsters might still be able to wander in the deep sea, but they definitely would not dare to approach the coastal cities.

 Chapter 487 The Wormhole Theory That Transcends The Universe

    Since the high-density ray cannon could reach thousands of meters, the cannon could kill the monsters before they could threaten the coastal cities.


    After a period of intense research and development, the high-density ray cannon was finally born.


    When the ck cannon appeared in the research institute, everyone was shocked by its power.


    The cannon was ck, and the muzzle was long and narrow, emitting a daunting aura.


    "If the high-density beam machine gun is so powerful, then what kind of power can this cannon achieve?" an officer wondered.


    Soon, the sea monsters attacked the coastal cities again.


    However, under the coverage of the high-density ray cannon, the sea monster was firmly controlled near the coast.


    The cannons quickly got into position and aimed at the sea monster, ready to unleash their might.


    "Attention ahead! Attention ahead! Lure the sea monster eight hundred meters away from the coast!"


    Throughmunication and cooperation between the two sides, they chose a ce that was most suitable for the cannon to unleash its power.


    Within a range of eight hundred meters, the sea monsters could not cause any destructive damage to the coastal areas, but the power of the cannons could be unleashed to the extreme.


    Boom!


    An earth-shattering boom resounded through the sky and caused everyone''s eardrums to ring.


    A terrifying tongue of me descended like a god of destruction.


    Heavens, what was this?


    Everyone raised their heads to look at the fiery trail in the sky like a meteor, unable to regain their senses for a long time.


    Those who did not receive the news in advance were even more horrified to guess what had happened. Could it be that the end of the world had arrived?


    Then, the cannon''s beam hit the monster hard. The continuous collisions and explosions dyed the sky white.


    When the ray spread to the cannon, it turned into a dazzling ball of light. However, it was iparably sharp. It was like the most magical weapon that cut off the monster''s head.


    "We seeded! We finally seeded!"


    Everyone who witnessed this scene could not suppress the excitement in their hearts.


    The power of the high-density beam cannon far exceeded their expectations. It could actually kill such a huge monster.


    This monster named ughterer had once brought great trouble to human cities. The reason it was called ughterer was because statistics showed that it had caused the most serious damage to human cities.


    And today, using the high-density beam cannon to kill the ughterer made everyone ecstatic.


    ughterer''s huge body sank into the sea and couldn''t float up for a long time.


    From this, it could be seen that its body contained high-density substances, so it could not float in high-salty seawater.


    After a few cruisers'' hard work, they finally dragged the huge sea monster''s corpse to the surface.


    Wu Mo and the research team went to the scene and carefully observed the body of the sea monster.


    "Oh, this sea monster seems to have mutated. What''s going on here?"


    Wu Mo noticed that a part of the sea monster''s body was distorted. There were two possibilities: One was biological mutation, which was affected by nuclear or radioactive pollution. Another indicated that it was not a creature from Earth but from another.


    Although there were very few supporters of this theory, most people were still willing to believe that the sea monster originated from Earth and mutated because of pollution.


    After that, Wu Mo continued to develop a series of high-density ray weapons.


    Once a cruiser and destroyer were equipped with such high-density ray weapons, not only would their range be greatly increased, but their lethality and power would also be greatly enhanced!


    After this news spread around the world, it made other countries feel uneasy.


    It was no longer a secret that China was producing high-density radiation weapons.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Although they imed that these weapons were used to deal with the threat of sea monsters, people always had doubts in their hearts.


    This weapon was so powerful. Would they destroy it after destroying the sea monster?


    If they used these weapons to start a war, how would the other countries resist?


    However, China''s base did not care about other people''s concerns. They produced such weapons to deal with sea monsters. It was others who were thinking too much.


    In the end, the high-density ray weapon series came out, and Wu Mo was very satisfied with his work.


    At this moment, a ck cannon was hanging on one of the huge cruisers in the port. There was no ammunition, only aplicated device that could shoot high-density rays.


    The rays that were shot out could reach up to five thousands meters. It was terrifying!


    In addition, the power of this beam was already close to that of a beam explosion. Wu Mo had also spent a lot of time and effort to make this cruiser into a carrier. Its high-density beam weapon was even more powerful than the previous machine guns and cannons!


    The old chief also came to the scene. He was full of praise for this cruiser and nodded.


    "Wu Mo, do you think this cruiser can fight a codenamed sea monster on its own?" he asked with interest.


    "Chief, not just one, even three or four of them shouldn''t be a problem," Wu Mo answered without hesitation.


    The old chief was a little surprised by Wu Mo''s confidence and asked another key question.


    "Then can such a cruisernding device be mass-produced?"


    Wu Mo was caught in a dilemma. After all, he had spent a lot of effort to equip a cruiser with a high-densitybination attack device.


    It would be too much of a challenge for him to equip every cruiser with such a device, and it would consume a lot of time and energy.


    Wu Mo calcted in his heart. If he wanted to equip every cruiser, not only would it cost a lot of money, but this cruiser could already fight against three or four sea monsters alone. With the protection of the next-powered aircraft carrier formation, it should not be a problem to chase after the sea monsters in the sea.


    Could it be that the old general wanted to form a high-density ray cruiser formation?


    Wu Mo expressed his thoughts. He felt that only one ship was enough for now.


    Moreover, there were other carriers for high-density ray weapons, so there was no need to pursue this one too much.


    In the end, this high-density ray weapon cruiser was sent to patrol the wrecked sea area at thirty-six degrees northtitude.


    At this time, a radio station held a program and invited two so-called experts. They discussed it intensely and actually put forward a point of view.


    There might be a space wormhole hidden behind the coordinate.


    The views of these two experts caused a huge controversy. They believed that there were many strange natural phenomena along this parallel.


    These phenomena did not seem to be the power that humans could achieve. They were more like natural creations from the universe.


    The sea area along the southeastern coast, which was also located at thirty-six degrees northtitude, attracted a lot of attention.


    A huge nest had actually been discovered at thistitude!


    Even though the military had announced the destruction of the nest, the public was still very interested in this matter, and they talked about it in their spare time.


    The two experts on the show were in full swing. They insisted that the nest at thirty-six degrees northtitude might be a space wormhole.


    The space around the wormhole was extremely unstable. It was connected to another passage that might lead to a mysterious location in the universe.


    The creatures from that ce might have identally entered this weak space point, passed through the wormhole, and identally came to this world.


    This statement was ridiculed by many people!


    Even the program host was a little speechless. He lost hisposure and argued fiercely with the two experts.


    The audience was even more excited as they watched and talked about how wild these people''s imaginations were.

 Chapter 488 Terrible News

    In a special episode, Wu Mo also watched the analysis of the two experts.


    Although he knew that their views were not nonsense, this did not mean that they were true authorities.


    In fact, they might be talking nonsense themselves.


    However, Wu Mo did believe that if there really was a space-time instability point in the mysterious nest, like a wormhole, then everything would make sense.


    Those strange sea monsters werepletely different from any creature on Earth. They were also astonishingly powerful. They kept emerging from the deep sea.


    Isn''t this an alien creature that came to our world through a wormhole?


    Even so, Wu Mo would never publicly support this expert''s point of view.


    If he did so, the entire human society would fall into extreme chaos.


    Even if this was the truth, it had to be hidden and not made public.


    This point of view was too shocking, and Wu Mo was not willing to cause too much turmoil.


    The appearance of sea monsters was alreadymonce, and people were no longer surprised by this phenomenon.


    In the era of giant sea monsters, Wu Mo could receive a call at any time, day or night, that was the news of sea monsters appearing and attacking human coastal cities.


    But now, with the widespread use of high-density ray weapons, almost every coastal city''s port was equipped with at least one such weapon.


    One weapon was enough to deal with one sea monster, because these terrifying sea monsters with codenames rarely appeared in groups.


    The advantage of a high-density ray weapon was that it could kill in one shot. It was different from conventional weapons. Its rays could spread out in all directions after piercing through a sea monster''s body, killing it in one shot.


    However, this time, the sea monster shocked everyone, and even alerted Wu Mo in the middle of the night.


    A sturdy-level officer was in charge of this matter. He walked quickly to themand center.


    When he arrived, Wu Mo and the others had already arrived.


    "Everyone, there''s something that might renew our previous understanding. That''s the codenamed sea monster that we thought could not be replicated. They might not be an isted existence!"


    These words shocked Wu Mo and the officers present.


    Their eyes were fixed on the screen. The live broadcast showed a ferocious sea monster waving its fangs and ws slowly moving toward the coast under the illumination of the searchlights.


    The firepower of conventional weapons left deep holes on its body.


    However, this sea monster''s vitality was shockingly tenacious. Its thick muscles allowed it to continue advancing without fear even though it had wounds on its body!


    When everyone saw the appearance of the sea monster, they were shocked.


    Wasn''t this sea monster destroyed by a nuclear bomb long ago?


    At that time, eight heroic human heroes sacrificed themselves to lure it into the deep sea and kill it with a nuclear bomb.


    But now, this fellow had actually appeared before their eyes again!


    "Impossible! The nuclear bombs destroyed them. We had no doubt about it!"


    Wu Mo spoke first because to doubt this was to doubt the loyalty and dedication of those eight human heroes to mankind!


    At the center of the nuclear explosion, whether it was three sea monsters, thirty, or three hundred, they would all turn into nothingness.


    "Yes." The officer nodded. "This is extremely suspicious. Logically speaking, it should have been killed by the explosion, but now that it has appeared again. Does it mean that these sea monsters with codenames aren''t isted but a group?"


    This view was depressing, but everyone knew that it was the only reasonable exnation.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    A young officer next to Wu Mo reluctantly said, "Then, doesn''t that mean it was wrong of us to give them codenames? When these sea monsters appear, how do we deal with them with our current methods?"


    This sharp question left everyone speechless.


    They all realized that their previous understanding of sea monsters might have been limited to a certain extent.


    Wu Mo also knew that if this view was true, then there might be something hidden under the sea that they did not know.


    Just imagine, when sea monsters like the Sea Monster King, the Omni-dwelling Demon Spider, and the terrifying ughterer gathered in a group, what a terrifying scene it would be.


    People would never forget the long legs of the Omni-dwelling Demon Spiders, which had long hairs like huge trees in the forest. Not only could they fly automatically like missiles to attack human cities, but they could also disintegrate and explode in the air.


    There was also the Sea Monster King''s terrifying defense and top-notch intelligence that wasparable to a human''s!


    Not to mention the ughterer that specifically chose ces with dense human traffic to attack. It was cruel and murderous by nature...


    When these sea monsters grouped up, the threat they posed would increase by dozens or even hundreds of times.


    As this thought shed through their minds, all the officers present felt an indescribable heaviness in their hearts.


    It was too difficult.


    "I didn''t expect to receive such terrible news as soon as we develop the high-density ray cruiser!"


    Wu Mo shook his head helplessly.


    There was only one countermeasure in the current situation, and that was to mass produce cruisers at the same time, so that the number of high-density ray cruisers was enough to fight against these sea monsters.


    However, this also meant that the level of confrontation would directly rise to a higher level. The scale would berger andrger, and it might affect the entire coast of China.


    "No, this is too risky. We have to figure out the situation ahead first. Sigh, it would be great if he could really build an undersea corridor and control the situation of the entire sea area!"


    After the old chief received the news, his first consideration was the safety of the entire human society.


    If the confrontation escted to such a scale, it would be a full-scale war.


    He had always been eager to build an undersea corridor, because that way, they could truly observe how many undiscovered special sea monsters were hidden in the sea.


    Where did these sea monsters usually hide, so that they could escape the advanced monitoring methods of humans ande out from time to time to shock people?


    Of course, Wu Mo was also present. The old general knew that it was unrealistic for him to study the undersea corridor.


    Wu Mo did not need to worry about this because it was not a military design, but a grand infrastructure project.


    In fact, any top engineer in China had the ability to design such a project.


    However, the problem was, after the design waspleted, how would the follow-up problems be solved?


    Who could put it into practice, and who could guarantee this?


    "Chief, although the n for the undersea corridor isn''t very realistic, we can use the space base station to carry out satellite positioning and urately capture the situation at the bottom of the sea."


    Wu Mo proposed a new n.


    Everyone nodded. This seemed to be the only feasible solution at the moment.


    Therefore, the old chief approved the n and instructed the space base station to aim at the ident area for satellite positioning capture.


    Moreover, they had to send submarines thousands of meters deep to observe.


    This would gradually be a routine mission because the number and species of sea monsters were constantly increasing. People''s understanding of the sea had to bepletely overturned.

 Chapter 489 A New Submarine Must Be Made

    On this day, through the space satellite positioning capture, a small ring simr to a cave was found about five thousand meters below the sea area.


    "What is it? The sea monster''s nest has appeared again?"


    Everyone in the base was shocked.


    Everyone knew about the destruction of the nest.


    Under the attack of the nuclear bomb, the underwater nest and many sea monsters were blown into pieces.


    How could it reappear?


    After satellite positioning and detailed data analysis, this newly discovered nest was almost identical to the one that had been blown up.


    In other words, this was the previous nest, but for some reason, it had reappeared.


    "Impossible! Wasn''t the nest destroyed? Is this an illusion?"


    Some of the officers denied it on the spot.


    Even Wu Mo felt as if time and space had suddenly changed and he had returned to a certain moment in the past.


    However, they were certain that the changes in time they experienced were real.


    With the injection of Life potions, the number of people receiving it increased, and the number of people in the Institute of Special Biology also increased. The progress of various projects was put on the agenda, and the high-density ray weapon series was gradually introduced.


    At this moment, everyone could not help but be terrified by this bizarre scene.


    Countless pairs of eyes stared at the screen. No one could believe what they were seeing.


    "Did we really return to the past?"


    Wu Mo''s thoughts spun rapidly as he reviewed all the knowledge and theories regarding wormholes.


    "If spacetime is really distorted, it means that the space near this underwater nest is extremely fragile. This so-called nest was probably an existence simr to a wormhole. Those sea monsters are constantly entering the deep sea through this wormhole and attacking our coastal cities."


    Hearing Wu Mo''s spection, everyone looked at him in surprise, doubt written all over their faces.


    "Are you serious?"


    Wormholes, weak points in space, and twisted jumps-although these terms were already familiar, at this moment, people could not help but feel fear.


    Wormholes had always been regarded as mysterious and unreachable existences. Even with the development of modern technology, people still had little understanding of them.


    And now, in the depths of the''s seabed, something simr to a wormhole had appeared. This made people sigh in amazement at how mysterious it was.


    "Chief, we have to be prepared for the current situation. We can''t rule out the possibility of a wormhole."


    Wu Mo''s tone was serious.


    "At the same time, we are waiting for the samples collected by the nuclear submarine to confirm whether this is a wormhole-like existence."


    Wu Mo''s n was quickly approved.


    A nuclear submarine immediately headed to the depths of the wrecked sea area.


    When the submarine arrived nearby, as expected, they saw strange fluctuations that asionally appeared around the nest!


    The submarinemander immediately realized that the nest had appeared again.


    He was once responsible for the mission of destroying the nest with a nuclear bomb, and the shape of the nest in front of him was almost exactly the same as before.


    After the data analysis waspleted, Wu Mo and the other researchers spected about the possibility.


    Wu Mo''s bold idea dominated his mind.


    Perhaps it was because when the monsters inside the nest appeared, they brought the soil outside the nest and piled it up to form such a unique appearance of the nest.


    These monsters seemed to have some special attributes that allowed them to inadvertently shape their nests into such a shape in the wormhole-like space-time distortion.


    At this moment, the nuclear submarine in front had already circled the nest a few times when they suddenly heard a shocking roar from inside!


    An iparably huge sea monster slowly poked its head out. Its cold and heartless eyes were suffused with a terrifying cold light as it stared intently at the nuclear submarine.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Themander immediately felt a chill run down his spine and immediately ordered for a full speed ascent!


    The nuclear submarine quickly activated its powerful propulsion force and rose rapidly toward the surface of the sea.


    At this moment, the sea monster''s huge body gradually appeared in front of everyone.


    It was more than 20 stories tall and had well-developed limbs, simr to a human.


    On its huge head, there was only one eye, which was shining with a chilling light.


    Suddenly, a dark ray shot through the seawater like a sharp arrow!


    The beam of light instantly hit the nuclear submarine that had already floated to the bottom of the sea for four thousand meters.


    With a loud bang, the propulsion device at the tail of the nuclear submarine was destroyed, and the interior of the hull was in chaos.


    Themander immediately ordered, "Shut down the propulsion system! Use natural buoyancy to float up quickly!"


    At this moment, no one in the centralmand center had expected such a scene to happen.


    The light emitted by this sea monster was actually simr to a high-intensityser weapon.


    Wu Mo carefully observed the scene, constantly reying the scene of the monster''s single eye shooting out light.


    This was simply unbelievable, as if it was an illusory scene.


    However, the ability that this monster disyed had far surpassed the previous sea monsters.


    It couldunch such a terrifying attack with just one eye.


    This skill was truly terrifying!


    "Oh, my God! What kind of monster was this? Its body did not growrger, but this ability was simply too terrifying!"


    At this moment, the officers around Wu Mo were discussing nervously.


    At this time, the old chief was not present because he had been injected with Life Second.


    After the injection, he still needed to be observed for seventy-two hours. In other words, the old chief would not be able to know thetest developments regarding the monsters in these three days.


    Luckily, the nuclear submarine finally got rid of the monster''s pursuit, and the monster only fired aser and did not continue to pursue.


    Otherwise, it was hard to say whether the nuclear submarine could escape the clutches of fate.


    "You scared me to death, you really scared me to death¡­"


    At this moment, themanding officer was also scared out of his wits.


    When the nuclear submarine sessfully approached the shore, someone immediately came to check it out. They found that the tail was seriously damaged and the nuclear propulsion device had begun to leak.


    Urgent measures were taken to remedy the situation and ensure that the nuclear reaction source would not pollute this area.


    "In the image just now, everyone should have noticed that the aura inside the nest is very strong, and the spatial fluctuations are very unstable. Therefore, I believe that our previous spection about wormholes is very close to the truth," Wu Mo said to the officers.


    The officers nodded. Facts spoke louder than words.


    The scene in front of him undoubtedly confirmed this point. What else was there to argue about?


    Wu Mo continued, "In the face of this situation, we must develop a new submarine that is faster and stronger than ordinary nuclear submarines! It didn''t need any attack ability, but it had to be able to shuttle freely under the sea and withstand the attacks of these sea monsters."


    Wu Mo''s suggestion was very reasonable, and it was also the true thoughts of many officers present.


    The scene earlier had proven that ordinary nuclear submarines could not go up against these sea monsters!


    If another powerful sea monster appeared in the wormhole-like nest, it was hard to predict whether it would be able to escape.


    Therefore, in the face of such a huge risk, it was imperative to develop a more powerful submarine.


    After the meeting ended, Wu Mo went to the Institute of Special Biology and saw that the old chief was being observed.

 Chapter 490 The Roaring Kun

    "The old chief is psychologically stable. There aren''t any abnormal reactions in his body, and all data is normal," Xu Wanqing reported to Wu Mo.


    Wu Mo nodded. The old chief hadpleted his injection of Life Second. He believed that he would soon realize the huge changes that had happened to him.


    As long as the old chief''s body was rejuvenated, he would have more energy to deal with the sea monster crisis!


    Wu Mo told himself that this might be the time for his parents to be injected with Life Second.


    There was no conflict between Life First and Life Second. Theoretically, one could inject Life Second about a month after receiving Life First.


    Some questioned the value of Life First since Life Second was invented.


    However, they had overlooked the fact that the production cost of Life Second was much higher.


    Finally, the seventy-two hours of observation ended, and the old chief sessfully walked out of the observation room.


    When he appeared, everyone could not help but gasp!


    "Oh, my God! Doesn''t the old chief look a little too young?" Xu Wanqing eximed.


    At this moment, all the researchers saw a middle-aged man who appeared to be in his thirties or forties, not the old chief they were familiar with!


    The old chief turned around and looked at himself in the mirror. When he saw his reflection, he was stunned.


    However, the corners of his mouth curled into a smile.


    "Hahaha! As expected, I''ve be thirty years younger!"


    The old chief''sughter was loud and clear as it echoed throughout the entire institute.


    Everyone could not help butugh heartily.


    Seeing this, Wu Mo felt gratified.


    Even though arge number of experiments had proven that Life Second was rtively stable, everyone still felt nervous due to the old chief''s special status.


    Now that they could confirm the absence of any abnormal reaction and the sessful restoration of his youth, they finally heaved a sigh of relief.


    Even Wu Mo had felt cold sweat breaking out on his back.


    "It looks like Life Second is as stable as Life First. There''s no difference!"


    At this moment, the old chief was in high spirits like a tough warrior. He headed to the base and checked on the sea monsters''test movements.


    The report from the front lines pointed out that there might be a phenomenon simr to a wormhole near the nest, and there was a terrifying monster lurking in it that could release invincible rays!


    After he learned about this situation, the old chief instantly fell into deep thought.


    He never thought that in the three days he was in the observation room, they would make such a major discovery!


    "Oh, you''re saying that the beam shot by the one-eyed monster is simr to a beam from a high-density ray weapon? Plus, its strength is enough to instantly destroy a nuclear propulsion device?"


    The old chief frowned and listened carefully to his subordinate''s analysis.


    As everyone knew, due to the special nature of the submarine''s nuclear propulsion device, a strong protective cover had been added to its exterior.


    If an attack could break through the protective shield and destroy the nuclear propulsion device, it was obviously powerful. Its destructive force was immeasurable.


    "That''s right, Chief! This is a real-time video recording from the front line!"


    After he watched the video repeatedly, the old chief was finally convinced that the monster had mutated.


    In the past, monsters only used physical attacks, but now it waspletely different.


    "Old Chief, we have another spection. Codenamed sea monsters like the Sea Monster King and the Omni-dwelling Demon Spider will likely appear inrge numbers!" aburly military officer said with a solemn expression.


    The entire meeting room fell silent. The old chief never expected such a huge change to happen in just three days.


    "You mean there might be an army of sea monsters in the future, or even an army of demonic spiders?" the old general asked in a deep voice.


    Everyone nodded silently. The truth was right before them, and they had to take it seriously.


    "Wu Mo, what are your ns?"


    The old chief began to seek Wu Mo''s opinion again.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    He knew that Wu Mo would always find a way when there was trouble, and he believed that this time would be no exception.


    Wu Mo pondered for a moment and said, "Chief, we have to begin research on a sturdy submarine that can withstand the attack of sea monster rays. Then, we''ll have to go deep into the nest and determine whether there''s a wormhole or some other natural phenomenon."


    The old general nodded without hesitation. He immediately approved the project and gave it unconditional support. "If you need anything for your submarine research, just say the word."


    Receiving strong support from the old chief, the project was quicklyunched.


    Wu Mo needed some time to design this special nuclear-powered submarine.


    Even though it was also a nuclear-powered submarine, it would have to give up its offensive power and only retain some basic navigational functions. Most of the budget would be invested in the shell''s protection.


    This meant that its speed would increase, and its defense would far exceed that of a conventional submarine.


    After all, if it could not withstand the terrifying rays of a sea monster, the submarine would disintegrate in the deep sea!


    Only a submarine with strengthened defense could explore the secrets in the nest while it was attacked by sea monsters.


    Wu Mo named the submarine the Roaring Kun.


    In ancient times, there was a giant fish called Kun. It was so huge that it could swim across millions of kilometers at a time.


    The Kun was also a divine fish in Chinese mythology. Wu Mo named the submarine after a divine fish because he had high hopes for it.


    The Roaring Kun was being built at the port''s main test base, and arge number of researchers guarded it 24/7.


    They found Wu Mo''s design methods to be unique, and they were amazed by his one-of-a-kind ideas.


    They were unconstrained, and Wu Mo had his own views on the construction of eachplexponent.


    At first nce, professional engineers would frown and find his approach impractical.


    However, once all theponents were manufactured and ced before them, everyone was enlightened, and their horizons were broadened.


    "Oh, my God, Chief Engineer Wu''s design is extraordinary. He''s a genius!"


    Even though they knew that Wu Mo was the best in the world in terms of military designs, they were still shocked to see his process up close.


    Wu Mo had meticulously built the Roaring Kun ording to the system''s design.


    The moment the red cloth was removed, everyone was stunned!


    "Heavens, it''s a divine fish! It truly is reminiscent of a divine fish that''s about to break out of the water and fly!"


    For some reason, the submarine gave off such a feeling.


    Its shape had influences of modern sci-fi, and its overall streamlined shape resembled the back fin of a fish. It possessed dynamic scientific aesthetics and a mechanical beauty.


    The submarine looked like a big fish from afar that was about to dash across the sea and move forth with courage!


    When the Roaring Kun entered the water to carry out its mission, everyone was filled with anticipation.


    Before long, the Roaring Kun''s speed surprised everyone again!


    "Oh, my goodness! What terrifying speed!"


    Everyone widened their eyes in disbelief.


    At this moment, the Roaring Kun was like an immortal fish that had descended from heaven. It was much faster than expected, and it dived to a depth of three thousand meters in a short time.


    The scene made everyone''s blood boil. Even the old chief''s mouth was wide open in surprise.


    "The Roaring Kun is indeed a divine fish!"


    The old chiefughed heartily. He was in a good mood, and the heaviness that had gued him for many days was swept away.


    The Roaring Kun remained extremely fast as it continued to dive to the bottom of the sea.


    In the blink of an eye, it had reached a depth of four thousand meters, and it did not slow down at all.


    At this point, everyone started to feel a little nervous.


    If it came into contact with a sea monster, should the Roaring Kun continue to dive or surface?

 Chapter 491 New Changes In The Wormhole

    Wu Mo was also feeling nervous. After all, he had personally built the Roaring Kun, and its effects had yet to be verified.


    Soon after, the Roaring Kun reached a depth of five thousand meters and was close to the nest.


    A blurry ck shadow could be seen on the screen before Wu Mo. It was oval in shape.


    This was the true body of the nest.


    After the submarine arrived, thetest Network Interconnection System installed on it sensed a drastic change in the signal that was being captured!


    The originally stable signal started to fluctuate like a mountain peak.


    "Oh, my God, look at the space-time curve!"


    At this moment, all the researchers were so shocked that their mouths were wide open. No one expected to see such a shocking scene.


    Wu Mo knew that this meant one possibility: This nest was very likely a real space-time wormhole.


    "Wormholes are no longer a setting in science fiction and movies," he said calmly. "We might be witnessing the birth of a wormhole!"


    Wu Mo''s words echoed in the meeting room, causing everyone present to have a solemn expression.


    A wormhole, how was that possible?


    Although everyone present had studied the astronomical wonders of the universe, wormholes, like ck holes, had always been a top-level research topic.


    The existence of wormholes had always been a topic of debate because there had never been any experimental data to prove it.


    Anyone who tried to convince others with wormholes would be ridiculed by experts because it was regarded as pseudoscience.


    Just like dark matter and antimatter, although they existed in popr science magazines and programs, they had never been seen in real life.


    However, controble nuclear fusion was different. It was Wu Mo''s future blueprint, and it was different from other research projects.


    At this moment, the nest''s true body appeared in front of everyone. Themander in charge of destroying the nest with a nuclear bomb looked extremely depressed.


    "It was clearly destroyed, so why did it reappear? Could it be that the nest had temporarily disappeared through the space-time wormhole when it was blown up, and now it had returned?"


    This guess made everyone''s minds go nk.


    In this regard, they did not have any authoritative arguments or convincing information.


    However, the facts before their eyes seemed to prove this possibility. No one knew the final fate of the nest.


    Now, with all the information and spections in front of them, everyone had to make a decision: Should he continue to destroy the nest with nuclear bombs and let this wormhole-like existence be permanently destroyed on this, or should he try to monitor and control it forever?


    This was a difficult choice. One wrong step could lead toplicated and endless consequences.


    Facing this difficult choice, even the chief felt extremely troubled.


    However, at this moment, everyone suddenly realized that a huge shadow had appeared on the screen.


    "This is bad! Float up, Roaring Kun!" Wu Mo said nervously into the voice control before him.


    The Roaring Kun was a true unmanned nuclear-powered submarine that was fully automated.


    As long as an order was given, it would be able to carry out all the tasks that humans wanted!


    After receiving the surfacing signal, the Roaring Kun instantly adjusted its course. The hull was at an angle of nearly ny degrees, cutting through the sea like a sharp sword, and quickly floated up.


    The huge shadow behind him revealed its true form. It had an oval head and a t body that looked like a crab.


    However, it only had four legs, and each leg had three joints. When it waved, it was like a three-section stick!


    One of its legs quickly stretched out and pounced on the Roaring Kun.


    However, the Roaring Kun disyed an amazing function: In the process of moving forward in a straight line at high speed, it could actually make a curved turn in a certain arc.


    Sure enough, the Roaring Kun nimbly dodged the crab leg''s attack.


    However, at that moment, dense fine hair suddenly grew out of the sea monster''s eyes. Like arge stretching forward and seaweed at the bottom of the sea, it formed a cage and trapped the Roaring Kun.


    "D*mn it! How did this happen?"<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    When Wu Mo saw this scene, he was stunned.


    Could this be the special ability of this sea monster?


    At this moment, everything was not over yet.


    All the leg hair of the sea monster released electric currents and instantly burned.


    Rumble!


    In the endless sea water, the mes were burning tenaciously.


    This scene made people feel strange and shocked!


    "Oh, my God! This sea monster''s ability was even stronger than the Omni-dwelling Demon Spider and the Sea Monster King. Could this be a new species that appeared from the wormhole?" an officer couldn''t help but mutter to himself.


    Regardless of whether people were willing to believe it or not, this was what was happening in front of them!


    A new sea monster appeared, and its abilities were endless.


    Looking at the shell of the sea monster that was as hard as a crab, everyone immediately realized that its defense was much stronger than the Sea Monster King.


    The three joints on his four legs were extremely agile. Not only were they flexible, but their stretching speed was also extremely fast!


    What was even more unbelievable was that its leg hair could suddenly grow longer, trap objects, and then release electricity to burn them.


    This sea monster was simply the embodiment of ughter!


    ording to the current data show people still no effective means to control the head of the terrifying sea monster.


    Everyone fell silent and looked at each other.


    "The Roaring Kun has been destroyed!" After a while, Wu Mo gritted his teeth and said dejectedly.


    Even though the Roaring Kun''s defense was very strong, it had its limitations.


    During the continuous pursuit, the Roaring Kun could easily escape, but now it was trapped and constantly attacked by electric currents and mes.


    No matter how sturdy the shell was, it would not be able to withstand such damage!


    Even if the sea monster was unable to destroy the Roaring Kun, it would be useless in the long run since it was trapped in the cage and could not move.


    At this moment, the Roaring Kun''s shell was rapidly being consumed by the burning mes. Although it did not immediately disintegrate, it was only a matter of time before it was destroyed by the sea monsters.


    However, even though it was a pity that they had lostmand of the Roaring Kun, they had made a valuable discovery.


    They confirmed that this nest was simr to a wormhole, and could even be directly called a wormhole.


    Upon closer inspection of the magnified image, a ck shadow could be seen crawling out of the wormhole.


    At first, it was just a shadow. Then, it grew bigger and bigger, as if time and space were distorted. In the blink of an eye, it became a huge sea monster.


    "Everyone, a wormhole has appeared on our. The setting of a sci-fi movie became reality. Once this news was made public, it would definitely shock the entire scientificmunity and make those research maniacs dumbfounded!" the old chief said excitedly.


    As everyone knew, there were many senior scientists in the world.


    These scientists, who had dedicated their lives to the study of wormholes, argued endlessly in order to find the truth.


    However, even at the end of their lives, they could not give an exact definition.


    Now, a real wormhole was in front of everyone. With conclusive video data as evidence, this long-standing debate in the scientificmunity was finally resolved.


    "Wu Mo,e over for a moment¡­"


    After the meeting ended, all the officers left in a depressed mood.


    They felt that the role they could y against the sea monsters was bing more and more limited.


    There was no doubt that these sea monsters were extraordinary. They had unprecedented special skills and a wide variety of them.


    And conventional weapons had less and less restrictions on them.

 Chapter 492 Sea Monster Army

    The old chief and Wu Mo arrived at a small conference room, and th


    e door slowly closed.


    "Wu Mo, how long will it take for high-density radiation weapons to be poprized?" the old chief asked seriously.


    Hearing this question, Wu Mo understood what the old chief was thinking.


    In the face of the increasingly serious threat of sea monsters, the only way out was to quickly spread high-density ray weapons, because only such rays could cause limited damage to these sea monsters.


    Wu Mo thought for a moment and replied, "To make high-density ray weapons popr, we need a lot of raw materials and time."


    "You don''t have to worry about the raw materials. I''ll do everything in my power to provide you with all the things you need," the old chief said valiantly.


    At this critical moment of life and death for mankind, he knew very well that these were not problems.


    Wu Mo continued, "In that case, I''ll need a professional research team. It might berge in scale, and I will also need arge number of frigates and cruisers as test standards. Due to the experimental nature of the device itself, it might cause damage to the hull under unstable conditions when loading the high-density ray device."


    "No problem, these are not major issues. As long as you can speed up the production of high-density ray weapons!"


    The old chief patted Wu Mo on the shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Now that the era of sea monsters has entered another stage, we have to speed up our innovation."


    After the old chief finished speaking, he left with a heavy heart.


    Wu Mo had been extremely busy during this period of time, and he had barely gotten a moment''s rest.


    He had just developed the Roaring Kun, but it was scrapped in an operation.


    Now, he had to constantly develop more high-density ray weapons.


    And in Wu Mo''s system, there was actually a primitive device simr to the cosmic high-level ray explosion!


    If he could sessfully restore this device, sea monsters would no longer be a problem.


    The primitive device of this cosmic high-level ray explosion could restore the power of the ray explosion by 100%. Although it was a miniature version, how could a sea monster''s body withstand it?


    In fact, when the ray burst passed by, the wormhole would probably be instantly destroyed!


    ...


    Dongzhou was one of thergest cities in the southeastern coastal area. It had thergest port in the entire southeast.


    Before this, this ce had never been attacked by any sea monsters, which was an abnormal thing.


    However, on this day, humanoid sea monsters appeared one after another thousands of meters away from the port.


    After some observation, people discovered that these sea monsters had the same body shape and appearance. They had long legs and looked like spiders.


    This was an Omni-dwelling Demon Spider Army!


    "Oh, my God, the Omni-dwelling Demon Spider, a sea monster army... This can''t be real, right?"


    Many people woke up early in the morning and rubbed their eyes. When they saw the scene outside the window, they wondered if they had made a mistake.


    The sight was too absurd!


    When dozens of Omni-dwelling Demon Spiders appeared at the same time, the surface of the sea turned into countless vortexes that drifted about.


    It waspletely insane!


    Who would have thought that such a scene would happen at Dongzhou''s coastal port?


    The firepower armed forces reacted quickly. Arge number of troops gathered at the port, and dense artillery was aimed at the target in the distance.


    The sea monster army moved slowly. They did not seem to be in a hurry as if they were waiting for something.


    When they came within twenty meters, the firepower personnel along the port were so nervous that they swallowed their saliva.


    The scene before them was like something out of a movie.


    Its shocking nature made everyone extremely nervous!


    The rm on the base immediately sounded, and the old chief and a group of special-ss officers quickly made their way to the meeting room.


    When they saw the scene before them and the sea monster army, they were rendered speechless!<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "An army of spider monsters? It''s just as we guessed. Not only the Omni-dwelling Demon Spiders, but even the Sea Monster King and ughterer could also exist inrge groups. We were just lucky enough to encounter one!"


    An officer could not help but smile bitterly and shake his head.


    Who would have thought that his previous guess would actuallye true!


    Now, they had to think of a way to deal with this sea monster army.


    Wu Mo was still researching how to make high-density ray weapons popr. But the current situation was urgent, and he was called to analyze the situation.


    When Wu Mo saw the army of giant spider monsters, he was also shocked.


    There were about forty to fifty spider monsters, and even the entire camera could not capture thempletely.


    Finally, the Omni-dwelling Demon Spider army entered a range of one thousand meters, which was the range of the two high-density ray weapons in Dongzhou!


    "Open fire¡­"


    Following that, two terrifying purple rays shot out of the high-density ray weapon frigate.


    These two rays of light pierced through the sky, their speed and direction unchanged. The terrifying arc was shocking.


    Then, the rays shot through tworge spider sea monsters!


    The two Omni-dwelling Demon Spiders let out miserable cries as blood gushed out and rolled in the seawater.


    Not long after, they were affected by the spread of radiation. They floated motionlessly on the surface of the sea and were instantly killed.


    Seeing this, everyone calmed down a little.


    At the very least, it proved that high-density ray weapons were still a deterrent to the sea monster army.


    However, one should not forget that this was an army, not an individual.


    The death of the two Omni-dwelling Demon Spiders did not make them retreat, but stimted the remaining demon spiders'' ferocity instead.


    Immediately after, all the Omni-dwelling Demon Spiders sped up and rushed toward the port.


    The problem was that the two high-density ray weapons designed by Wu Mo could only fire at the same time once with a minute interval between each shot.


    This meant that there were only 18 chances to fire, and how should the remaining All-Perching Demon Spiders deal with it?


    It was difficult to solve the problem with conventional weapons, and small nuclear bombs could not be used near Dongzhou City''s port.


    At this moment, the entire Dongzhou City was in a state of panic as the people were evacuated.


    Everyone had to prepare for the worst-the city might be destroyed by the sea monsters!


    Although the consequences were severe and could even shock the world,pared to casualties, the city could be rebuilt, but lives could not be saved.


    Under the cover of conventional weapons, the two high-density ray weapons continued to fire with astonishing uracy, killing another two Omni-dwelling Demon Spider Sea Monsters.


    The remaining Omni-Dwelling Demon Spiders became more and more irritable. They increased their speed and entered a range of five hundred meters from the port.


    Thepound missiles were the most powerful in this area, and the overwhelming missiles cast a huge shadow like the end of the world.


    Finally, the Omni-dwelling Demon Spider felt fear and slowed down.


    In the tense atmosphere of the conference room, Wu Mo brought some exciting news. "In a short period of time, we have developed five more high-density ray weapons that can be loaded on the ground!"


    The old chief beamed with joy, but the five sets of equipment greatly alleviated the crisis.


    The better news was that Wu Mo had a premonition in advance and had arranged for the five devices to be located in a small city not far from Dongzhou.


    It would only take half an hour to transfer to Dongzhou.


    The old chief was in high spirits. He waved his hand and ordered, "Quickly, mobilize five devices to deal with the Omni-dwelling Demon Spider''s army. Let none of them escape!"


    The tense atmosphere was relieved by this news. Everyone reignited their fighting spirit and prepared to fight against this battle that threatened the entire city.


    The Omni-dwelling Demon Spider army would face an even more powerful opponent. There were tense and exciting situation, like a thrilling movie, making people look forward to it.

 Chapter 493 The Sea Monsters Possess Special Abilities

    The five high-density ray devices could fire a total of fifty shots, which was enough to wipe out the spider army.


    Dongzhou could be seamlessly connected. Once the sea monster reappeared, they could quickly defeat it!


    These sea monsters were extremely intelligent and aware of Dongzhou''s importance, so they dared not attack on a small scale.


    However, Wu Mo kept bringing them good news. The nine newly developed high-density ray devices could each be fired twenty times, and the charging time had been shortened to three hours!


    Everyone was stunned before they cheered!


    "Wu Mo, you''re a hero, a great hero!"


    The five devices could be fired a hundred times in total. Even if they were to face two monster armies at the same time, they could still annihte them.


    Moreover, the charging time had been shortened to three hours, and the equipment''s movement support was faster. Its flexibility was greatly increased!


    In less than half an hour, the Omni-dwelling Demon Spider Army had arrived two hundred meters away from Dongzhou''s port.


    At this moment, they began to activate their special skills!


    One of the bigger Omni-dwelling Demon Spiders waved its long legs and shot out its leg hair like a missile.


    The leg hair exploded in the air and released a green corrosive liquid that fell like a torrential rain!


    The liquidnded on the concrete floor of the port, and the ground quickly corroded.


    Wu Mo and the officers eximed, "The Omni-dwelling Demon Spider has a new skill! It''s corrosive!"


    Originally, the Omni-dwelling Demon Spider only exploded its leg hair and destroyed the buildings.


    Now, it had corrosive properties and was even more powerful.


    Imagine, if such an Omni-dwelling Demon Spider entered a densely popted city, its leg hair would explode and acid rain would fill the sky. What would the consequences be?


    It would be unimaginable!


    In this thrilling moment, high-density ray weapons yed a decisive role in protecting the city and defending lives.


    Amid the tense atmosphere, people were filled with anticipation and were ready to face the challenge. They wanted this battle that was filled with passion and hope to be a shining moment.


    "We''re finally here. Hurry up and provide cover. We need to quickly kill this group of sea monsters and not let them continue to approach," themanding officer of the port''s firepower unit ordered nervously.


    At this moment, the humans and the sea monster army were engaged in an intense close-range battle.


    Compound missiles could not be used to prevent friendly fire. They could only rely on close-range weapons and small-scale attacks.


    These weapons were like mosquito bites to the Omni-dwelling Demon Spider.


    However, at this moment, the Omni-dwelling Demon Spider army finally felt the terror of humans!


    Five purple rays and two high-density ray weapons intersected to form a terrifying ray.


    Seven of the nearest ten Omni-dwelling Demon Spiders instantly fell. The sea monsters behind were stunned and stopped in their tracks.


    Then, they realized that the humans had increased their firepower and immediately turned around to escape.


    In themand center, people rxed their tense nerves andughed.


    However, the Omni-dwelling Demon Spiders were already within two hundred meters of them.


    It would take them ten minutes to escape a kilometer.


    The seven high-densityser devices could fire three times in ten minutes, which would produce a total of twenty-one rays.


    After another twenty-one were killed, the sea monster army was almostpletely wiped out, with only a few remaining.


    Compound missiles and other conventional weapons could also severely injure the sea monsters while they were escaping.


    The old chief gritted his teeth and said, "There''s nothing to be afraid of with the Omni-dwelling Demon Spider army! With high-density ray weapons, no matter how many there are, they''ll die! Beat them up, beat them up fiercely!"


    Wu Mo understood the old chief''s feelings.


    He had a heavy responsibility, but he felt extremely happy when he saw the high-density ray weapon kill the sea monsters that have been destroying the human cities.


    Twenty-one high-density rays killed twenty-one Omni-dwelling Demon Spiders.


    With the ultra-clear automatic locking device, the sea monsters had nowhere to escape.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Such rays were like the hands of God. They hit instantly and could not be avoided!


    They were powerful as they moved faster than one could react.


    In the end, under the double attack of high-density ray weapons andpound missiles, only two Omni-dwelling Demon Spiders managed to escape.


    However, they also had a few broken legs and were covered in blood as they struggled to dive into the sea.


    Then, the nuclear-powered submarine arrived and chased him three thousand meters below the sea before finally killing him.


    This was a great victory, and the reporters quickly reported it. The battle between humans and sea monsters near Dongzhou''s port had shocked the world.


    In the end, the Chinese side won aplete victory and wiped out the entire sea monster army, causing the countries of the world to rejoice!


    Now, not only China, but many other countries'' coasts had also seen sea monsters.


    However, these sea monsters were different from the ones in the southeast. They were only dozens of meters long and would asionally harass ships.


    Nevertheless, the entire world was in a state of panic. One day, they would encounter the terrifying sea monsters along the coast of China.


    This was because the sea monsters were not targeting a certain country or a certain person. They were targeting the entire!


    Gradually, the storm of public opinion intensified.


    China''s great victory had given mankind a shot in the arm, but there was one piece of news that could not be hidden: The underwater nest might be a spatial wormhole!


    This meant that the sea monsters were not native marine creatures but mysterious space creatures.


    Soon, the representatives from all over the world gathered in China to interview the key figures.


    First was the oldmander-in-chief.


    Following him was arge group of military officers, who yed key roles in the battle.


    In the end, Wu Mo became the center of attention.


    Wu Mo had personally designed the military equipment for this battle. It was thanks to his high-density ray weapons that they sessfully defeated the Omni-dwelling Demon Spider army.


    Otherwise, it would have been extremely difficult for the humans to win. They would have had to sacrifice the city of Dongzhou.


    The foreign visitors looked at Wu Mo with admiration. They knew that Wu Mo was the most outstanding scientific genius in a hundred years or even a thousand years.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, may I ask what inspired you to design the high-density ray weapon?"


    A reporter from the west could not help but ask, and his question instantly attracted everyone''s attention.


    Everyone held their breath as they waited to hear Wu Mo''s inspiration for the design.


    After all, the birth of such a high-intensity ray weapon shocked the world.


    However, some countries had started to talk about China being a threat. They felt that after dealing with the sea monsters, China would target other ces.


    But this idea was consideredughable by most countries.


    Everyone thought that China was only developing high-densityser weapons to deal with sea monsters. How could it cause a war?


    The reporter''s question was sharp.


    Wu Mo nodded and calmly faced everyone as he answered, "That''s a good question, but you should learn more about the sea monsters."


    Oh?


    Learn about the sea monsters?


    The reporters looked at each other and frowned. They seemed to have overlooked some key information.


    These reporters were the most experienced in their respective industries. They would do their homework in advance and know all the information like the back of their hands.


    Wu Mo''s attitude made them feel indignant.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, what do you mean exactly?" the reporter asked as he was unwilling to be outdone.


    Wu Mo smiled and said slowly, "These sea monsters have all kinds of special skills. You might not be able to imagine it, but one of them can shoot out a ray from its eye and destroy the powerful nuclear propulsion device. Do you know what that means?"


    Wu Mo''s words caused everyone to fall into deep thought, and every reporter was shocked.

 Chapter 494 Another Monster Siege

    "Oh, my God, the monster''s shot rays out of its eyes, and they prated the nuclear power nt?"


    This made them realize that they did not know enough.


    They were all professional reporters from the military. They understood the importance of nuclear power nts and the sturdiness of their defenses.


    Just imagine how powerful a ray would be needed to prate a nuclear power nt?


    Wu Mo smiled faintly and continued, "If you understand the terrifying power of those monsters, you won''t doubt that our existing conventional weapons, includingpound missiles, are useless against them!"


    Many reporters were moved by Wu Mo''s words, and they began to take notes.


    Everyone knew that these terrifying sea monsters could not be fought with conventional weapons.


    Seeing that the reporters were humbly asking him for advice, he began to exin more to them.


    "Whenpound weapons are ineffective, the only option left is a small nuclear bomb. However, these sea monsters are close to the coast as soon as they appear. If we use small nuclear bombs, we won''t be able to avoid causing damage to the coast!"


    Wu Mo''s words opened the eyes of everyone present, and they understood the sea monsters'' tactics even more.


    Those sea monsters were lurking at the bottom of the sea. Once they surfaced, they would immediately appear near the port and attack.


    All the officers present, including the old chief, listened attentively to Wu Mo''s exnation.


    There was no doubt that Wu Mo''s professional knowledge in this area was unparalleled.


    Reporters from all over the world targeted Wu Mo. They found that the deeper they dug, the more crucial information they could get from Wu Mo about the sea monsters.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, you know so much about sea monsters. How did you get this information?" asked a reporter. "You''re only an engineer, not a frontlinemander. How did you manage to understand all this?"


    "The threat of sea monsters involves all of humanity," Wu Mo replied with a smile. "In the face of this urgency, each of us has the responsibility to understand everything about the sea monsters. I''m just fulfilling my duty as an ordinary person."


    His response caused thunderous apuse in the entire venue.


    The senior reporters from other nations were moved by Wu Mo''s words, and they could not help but apud.


    The officers around him also cheered for Wu Mo, and their faces brimmed with smiles of praise.


    Most of the questions in the interview were directed at Wu Mo.


    Everyone was taken aback by his erudition. It was as if their past impressions had been reconstructed, and it took them a long time to calm down.


    After the interview, many people wanted to exchange contact information with Wu Mo. That way, they could get updates on thetest situation involving the sea monsters.


    However, Wu Mo decided to reject their requests.


    If he made his contact information public, he would suffer plenty of harassment in the future.


    Wu Mo had to devote himself to his research ofbating sea monsters. The most important thing was to develop more high-density ray weapons as soon as possible.


    The southeastern coast, other coastal regions, and important coastal cities were in danger of being destroyed at any time.


    At this critical moment, the development of high-density ray weapons was particrly important!


    It was worth mentioning that he had made great progress in his research.


    Ten high-density ray weapons had been sessfully installed on the small cruisers. These ships were small, flexible, and easy to control.


    They could even lurk in the blind spots of skyscrapers and ports as theyunch fatal raids on sea monsters!


    In just a few days, Wu Mo had already manufactured fifty high-density ray weapons that could be deployed on frigates.


    This major breakthrough greatly boosted the morale on China''s base!


    Each of the fifty weapon frigates could fire twenty rays, which brought it to a total of one thousand rays.


    With a precise automatic locking system, almost every ray could hit the sea monsters.


    This meant that China now had the ability to destroy at least one thousand sea monsters!<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Wu Mo, after this crisis is over, I''ll award you the highest-ranking medal," the old chief promised Wu Mo solemnly.


    Wu Mo''s groundbreaking invention had allowed China''s high-density ray weapons to reach an impressive level.


    A thousand rays were enough to kill a thousand sea monsters. They were invincible!


    "We''re no longer afraid, truly no longer afraid. Even if the sea monsterse like a tide, we still have the power to destroy them. The high-density ray weapons can conveniently charge each other too. What else do we have to fear?"


    An officer stuck his chest out and raised his head confidently.


    However, just as everyone was immersed in the joy of defeating the sea monsters, an officer who usually did not want to speak in public suddenly said, "Isn''t it too early to celebrate?"


    Everyone turned to the officer as they were curious about his opinion.


    The officer in charge of the Maritime Department slowly presented some information and told them about several recent discoveries.


    Although the Omni-dwelling Demon Spider army had been destroyed, everyone thought that the Sea Monster King was superior to the Omni-dwelling Demon Spider when it came to individualbat strength.


    There was no doubt about it. Everyone nodded silently and agreed that the Sea Monster King was stronger.


    Its defensive ability was even stronger, and it could withstand the attacks of various human weapons.


    They could only deal damage if they stood firm!


    There was another obvious difference between the Sea Monster King and Omni-dwelling Demon Spider: Although the Omni-dwelling Demon Spider had manyplex attacks, its destructive power was far inferior to that of the Sea Monster King.


    The Sea Monster King could easily destroy the port''s construction facilities with its humanoid hands. This was beyond the Omni-dwelling Demon Spider''s reach.


    In the officer''s opinion, when the Sea Monster King army arrived, it might be difficult for humans to deal with it.


    Even if there were many high-density ray weapons, how could they effectively and urately attack thebined forces of the Sea Monster Kings and other sea monster armies?


    However, the other officers had a different opinion.


    They believed that fifty high-density ray weapons were sufficient to destroy these so-called sea monster armies.


    The old chief then announced that in order to deal with a surprise attack from the sea monster army, the officers present and the areas under their jurisdiction would be divided into five battalions. This would correspond to each of the sea monster armies.


    Wu Mo understood the purpose of doing this to target them from one point.


    All the officers and their subordinates were then divided into five battalions.


    As a researcher, Wu Mo would not join any battalion. Instead, he would remain in the base''smand center to coordinate andmand all army operations with the old chief. He would be responsible for coordinating the soldiers'' deployment and other matters.


    Just as the army versus army structure was formed, the southeastern coastal city of Shen Gang faced the threat of the sea monster army again!


    Shen Gang was slightly smaller than Dongzhou, but its strategic position was extremely important.


    In recent years, the speed of its development had far exceeded that of Dongzhou, and it had been showing a trend of recing the former.


    Today, the evil sea monster army had finally extended its tentacles to the city.


    Boom!


    There was a loud bang, but the people of Shen Gang were not surprised by the sea monsters'' arrival.


    After all, Dongzhou had already experienced harassment from the sea monsters, and these urrences had left a deep impression on the people.


    Now, the sea monsters had attacked again, and the people of Shen Gang started to evacuate in an orderly manner.


    An intense battle was about to begin between humans and sea monsters!


    The second battalion had predicted the sea monster army''s surprise attack in advance and had already set up artillery fire there.


    To inspire confidence in the people of the world, reporters came to the scene for a live broadcast to let the world witness how humans would defeat the monsters!

 Chapter 495 Success?

    This battle had affected the hearts of countless people. The elites of the world were also nervously preparing for war. Through real-timemunication devices, they seemed to be conducting a world-wide meeting.


    At this moment, the main battlefield was the harbor of Shen Gang[1]. The Second Legion would engage in a fierce battle with the sea monster legion!


    The sea monster army gradually revealed their true appearance, and to everyone''s surprise, they found out that it was the powerful Sea Monster King army!


    "The d*mned Sea Monster King army is here. Send the third army as reinforcements immediately!"


    The old chief''s expression instantly became serious. He knew that the Sea Monster King army was even more terrifying than the Omni-dwelling Demon Spider army. He must not let his guard down!


    "The Sea Monster King is indeed powerful. It seems that this battle will be a severe test for the second legion!"


    Wu Mo nodded and sighed.


    At this moment, the army of Sea Monster Kings stopped about a thousand meters away from the coast of the port and suddenly stopped moving.


    "Oh, what''s up with these guys?"


    Wu Mo observed carefully and found that these Sea Monster Kings seemed to have understood the key to thest battle. "So they know that humans have the ability to snipe within a thousand meters!"


    "As expected of sea monsters with the same intelligence as humans. These sea monster legions are born to be fighters and schemers!" he thought to himself.


    At this moment, the Sea Monster King looked like a shrewd war god on the battlefield, and people could not help but respect theirbat wisdom.


    However, the humans'' understanding of these Sea Monster Kings was only limited to their humanoid appearances, and they knew nothing about their true strength.


    Wu Mo knew that this battle would be full of twists and turns and challenges!


    Due to the serious imbnce of intelligence, humans could only struggle in the dark, while the monster was like a night hunter, skillfully exploring the human''s every move.


    No one could predict how the battle would turn out.


    Even in the live broadcast, people confidently proimed the strength of human beings and thought that they were still the masters of nature, but the truth was far moreplicated than imagined.


    Rumble!


    The frontlinemander suddenly gave the order to attack.


    When the army of the Sea Monster Kings stopped thousands of meters away and did not move, humans had to take the initiative to attack to attract them close to the range of the high-density ray weapon.


    However, even so, the attack on these Sea Monster Kings was still insufficient.


    The powerful defense of these Sea Monster Kings made the firepower of humans insignificant. Their defense ability even surpassed that of the Omni-dwelling Demon Spider.


    Other than small nuclear bombs, the most powerful attack method of humans was thepound missile group attack. However, now, even if hundreds ofpound missiles wereunched, it would only be a mosquito bite to these Sea Monster Kings.


    They were fearless, and even had a mocking smile on their faces that was simr to humans.


    Awooo! Awooo!


    Suddenly, these Sea Monster Kings let out beast-like roars.


    The highestmander on the frontline sensed that something was wrong. He seemed to feel a powerful aura gradually awakening from the bottom of the sea.


    "Not good! Hurry up and use the satellite to investigate and see what the monster that made this sound is!"


    Themander''s expression instantly turned grave, and he immediately gave the order to find out the true appearance of this mysterious monster.


    At this moment, all the conventional weapons came to an abrupt end, and the humans and the Sea Monster Kings fell into a tense confrontation.


    Countless pairs of eyes stared at the live broadcast, their hearts beating like drums.


    "Unbelievable! These Sea Monster Kings could actually withstand China''s advancedpound missiles?"


    "That''s right. Could it be that even our strongest conventional weapons are helpless?"


    " Sigh, it seems that the battle situation is not as optimistic as I imagined. The Sea Monster King army, whosebat strength has increased dramatically, will be a huge problem."


    At this moment,izens around the world were discussing nervously. This battle undoubtedly touched everyone''s hearts.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Everyone was looking forward to seeing if China could sessfully resolve this crisis.


    However, they still had confidence in China. After all, China''s conventional weapons had already reached the top of the world.


    If even they could not ovee this difficulty, wouldn''t it be a great humiliation for mankind?


    Everyone could not help but stare at the screen, watching the Sea Monster Kings that seemed to be controlled by the mysterious voice.


    They stayed where they were, motionless.


    It was as if he was carrying out an established n. From a thousand meters away, he stared at the humans with a cold gaze.


    "Chief, we can''t continue wasting our energy like this. In this situation, we should send out elite troops to take the initiative to disperse these Sea Monster Kings or lure them over. Otherwise, the panic caused by this confrontation would be immeasurable!"


    In the centralmand center, Wu Mo could not help but suggest to the old chief.


    The old chief nodded slightly. He also understood that these Sea Monster Kings were deliberately creating great panic in an attempt to turn Shen Gang into hell on earth.


    "D*mn it! He did not expect these Sea Monster Kings to be so cunning!"


    At this moment, everyone in the centralmand center gritted their teeth and was burning with anger.


    The Sea Monster King controlled the distance just right, making all the effective means of human attack useless.


    "We can''t go on like this! Since that was the case, then send out the vanguard assault force!"


    Faced with the current situation, the old chief could not think of a better solution, so he could only give this order.


    Immediately after, elite vanguard assault force members were born. They were the most outstanding soldiers from eachpany of the Marine Corps.


    When these warriors received their mission, their eyes were firm, showing their determination and faith.


    This battle was rted to whether China could defeat the Sea Monster King. It was of great strategic significance, and they would go all out.


    "Chief, don''t worry. We will definitely win and sessfully attract the Sea Monster King!"


    Every soldier in the vanguard disyed a rigorous fighting spirit.


    Their idols were the eight heroes who had sacrificed themselves bravely. They would follow closely behind and fight for honor.


    The soldiers of the vanguard were fearless. The officers awarded them medals in advance because they knew that this mission might be a one-way trip.


    The vanguard consisted of more than twenty soldiers. They rode a small cruiser and slowly left the port, heading toward the sea.


    Their mission was very clear, which was to use themselves as a fixed point of attack to engage in a fierce battle with the Sea Monster Kings and lure them into a range of a thousand meters.


    The battle soon began. The vanguard soldiers were determined to let the Sea Monster King experience the power of humans!


    "Hit him hard!"


    The cannons on the cruiser were firing at full power, and they were also equipped with a high-density beam weapon.


    In the centralmand center, Wu Mo and the old chief were nervously watching the battle. Everyone knew that victory and defeat would be decided at this moment!


    Finally, the high-density ray weapon sessfully killed a Sea Monster King.


    When the sea monster''s head was pierced by the ray, green matter spurted out crazily, shocking the spectators.


    This scene aroused the anger of the other Sea Monster Kings, and they all approached the cruiser.


    "We''ve seeded! Retreat quickly!"


    Themander at the front decisively gave the order, and the soldiers on the cruiser began to retreat.


    [1] Shenzen-Hong Kong has been changed to Shen Gang

 Chapter 496 Sworn To Protect Their Homeland

    Everyone in the Vanguard Unit was extremely excited. They did not expect the mission to go so smoothly.


    They originally thought that they would have to engage in a fierce battle with the Sea Monster King.


    However, no one expected that after killing one Sea Monster King, this group of ferocious monsters would charge at the vanguard like defeated dogs with bloodshot eyes!


    This scene was shocking and soul-stirring!


    Just as about ten Sea Monster Kings were one kilometer away, more than ten high-density ray devices were lined up in a row and docked at the port. Then, they wereunched at the same time.


    These devices were like the messengers of light on a dark night. They were powerful and unignorable.


    More than a dozen rays shot out instantly and urately locked onto more than a dozen Sea Monster Kings.


    In an instant, the audience''s passion reached its peak, and their emotions went on a roller coaster!


    Some of the audience members even started to shout as they waved their fists and raised them in the air.


    "The mighty Chinese army is our pride. Raise the might of our country and kill those despicable sea monsters!" someone could not help but roar in excitement.


    His face waspletely flushed.


    The scene made everyone''s blood boil. More than a dozensers on the screen were like gods descending to wipe out all demons!


    When theynded, the group of Sea Monster Kings that had just entered the range of a thousand meters before them all fell down without exception.


    However, Wu Mo found it a pity.


    He felt that themander''s order had been a little hasty. If he had waited for all the Sea Monster Kings to enter the shooting range in session and used the high-density ray weapon device, he might have been able to annihte them all.


    Now, they had only defeated more than ten Sea Monster Kings, and the remaining ones would not let them off the hook easily!


    At this critical moment, Wu Mo suddenly had an ominous feeling. It was as though this battle was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.


    He keenly sensed something unusual, but he could not tell what it was.


    Wu Mo''s frown aroused the old chief''s curiosity, and he urgently asked, "Wu Mo, what happened? Do you have any ideas for us to discuss?"


    Wu Mo nodded and replied, "Chief, have you noticed¡­ these Sea Monster Kings seemed to be acting impatient on purpose. Otherwise, they would never lose their cool so easily!"


    As soon as he said this, everyone looked thoughtful and frowned.


    It was undeniable that the Sea Monster King''s intelligence wasparable to that of humans; it had been proven many times.


    Thinking about it carefully, the monsters had only gotten furious when they killed the first Sea Monster King. The monsters knew to keep their distance before, but they had suddenly forgotten this rule? What was going on?


    "There''s indeed something wrong, but since they have already entered the shooting range, we can just shoot them directly. Why do we have to do this?"


    As the old chief spoke, he gave the order to continue attacking.


    After more than ten of the original forty Sea Monster Kings died, the remaining twenty or so continued to advance within a kilometer.


    However, at this moment, Wu Mo finally understood why they were so daring!


    In the deep sea behind the Sea Monster Kings, a huge head slowly rose to the sky.


    It was simr to the Sea Monster King, but its body was covered in steel-like spikes, which made it look like a sea monster in huge armor!


    "D*mn it, a new type of sea monster has appeared!"


    Themander on the front line widened his eyes and immediately realized the severity of the problem.


    "Open fire, hit it hard!" he shouted.


    There were many ships on the coast. They were also densely packed with conventional weapons and were conducting long-range patrols.


    They had been wandering in the distance without approaching. However, after receiving the order, they immediately headed toward the deep sea and surrounded the sea monster from the left and right. They began to attack the new sea monster!


    The situation at the moment was extremely critical. This sea monster had just appeared, and no one knew its special skills and attributes.


    Whether it was Wu Mo, the old chief, or the soldiers present, they could all feel how terrifying this sea monster was.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    The huge monster in armor suddenly opened its arms and revealed two sharp weapons in it ws!


    Boom!


    It waved the two des like a storm and shed them on either side without mercy.


    "This is bad! Retreat quickly!"


    When the officers and soldiers on the destroyer saw this, they were horrified. They immediately maneuvered the ship to retreat.


    However, it was already toote.


    The two sharp steel des approached them rapidly and caused a huge wave that was dozens of meters high.


    The waves surged and instantly submerged the destroyer!


    Fortunately, thanks to their strong efforts, they managed to escape the stormy sea.


    "Heavens, this sea monster has a weapon?!"


    It was undoubtedly everyone''s first time seeing a sea monster that was born with weapons.


    However, these weapons were actually bones that grew out of the sea monster''s palm. Due to excessive mutation, they became as sharp as knives.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The sea monster waved the two des in its hands and slowly moved forward.


    It was extremely arrogant, as no frigate or destroyer could stop its path.


    Seeing this sea monster dominate the world without anyone to stop it, everybody in the vanguard team that had retreated gnashed their teeth in hatred.


    "D*mn it! There''s actually such a sea monster... Should we lure it again?"


    They asked themander if they should carry out the bait operation again.


    Right now, there was a huge problem before them.


    Should the Vanguard Unit act as human bait again to lure the sea monster into their shooting range?


    However, they would undoubtedly bear a much greater risk than before!


    Even themander could not make up his mind. After all, if he gave the order, he would be courting death to a certain extent.


    One should know that this team was the elite among the elites. They were the most outstanding soldiers in thepany!


    Themander had no choice but to ask themand center for the old chief''s opinion.


    When the old chief saw what happened, he felt conflicted.


    He looked at all of the officers'' faces and revealed a helpless expression.


    The terrifying power disyed by the sea monster earlier made everyone feel a chill in their hearts. If they were not careful, the frigates might bepletely destroyed!


    Therefore, it was extremely difficult to make a decision now.


    However, the vanguard troops on the front line had requested to take on this mission.


    For a moment, everyone''s eyes were teary. They could not help but think of China''s eight heroes.


    "The brave warriors of China are all good men. Carry out the bait n!"


    The old chief finally made up his mind.


    Next to him, Wu Mo was feeling excited. With the sea monsters'' arrival, generations of brave warriors had appeared in the battle and raised the nation''s prestige. It was moving!


    They watched as the Vanguard Unit bravely went against the current and steered their ship toward the sea monster.


    "Come on, big guy, we''re not afraid of you!"

 Chapter 497 Poisonous Gas

    A few soldiers on the deck were holding machine guns and firing wildly in the air.


    Ratatata!


    The dense bullets hit the sea monster''s body, but its hard skin was not damaged in the slightest.


    "It''s that durable?" the soldiers could not help but say helplessly.


    As they tried to lure it, the monster started to be enraged.


    Then, with great ferocity, it stabbed the two sharp bone des in its hands forward.


    Rumble!


    At this moment, its speed soared, and the destroyer had no time to dodge. The des poked two huge holes in the hull, and seawater surged in violently.


    The ship swayed left and right, and it looked like it was about to lose control.


    "Hurry up! Maneuver the ship back to the port immediately!" themander ordered in a hoarse voice, which had a hint of despair.


    He frowned and promptly adjusted the direction of the ship.


    However, at this critical moment, the destroyer had already suffered serious damage. It could no longer withstand the ferocious sea monster''s powerful force.


    The sea monster pulled out two more sharp des without mercy, raised them high, and shed at the sea.


    Kacha!


    Right then, a crisp sound rang in everyone''s ears.


    Shock filled Wu Mo''s eyes as he witnessed the destroyer being split in half by the sea monster''s two bone des!


    "Heavens, it''s so strong!" an officer could not help but exim.


    The two des disintegrated the destroyer effortlessly, and the soldiers of the Vanguard Unit jumped onto the lifeboats one by one. They were desperately trying to escape.


    However, the sea monster was still chasing after them. Finally, another sharp de fell, and the group of brave warriorspletely disappeared from everyone''s sight.


    Over in themand center, a muscr officer could not help but clench his fist and smash it hard on the controls.


    "D*mn it, these d*mned sea monsters!" he shouted angrily.


    The soldiers were elites whom he had handpicked. Their sacrifice was an indescribable pain for him.


    Despite that, Wu Mo saw hope for a counterattack during this critical moment.


    This was because the sea monster had finally entered their attack range as a result of chasing after the vanguard troops.


    Immediately after, the high-density ray weapons were aimed at the sea monster, and three cannons fired at the giant beast in unison.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Three purple rays of light shot through the air like lightning and hit the sea monster''s body.


    They chose to be safe by firing three cannons at the same time because this sea monster''s strength far exceeded the others.


    Three high-density ray weapons advanced side by side andunched a fierce attack on the mighty sea monster.


    Any person would think that the result of this battle was obvious.


    After all, although this sea monster was extremely powerful and had sharp bone des in its ws, it still had a fragile body.


    Following countless tests, it was discovered that high-density ray weapons could not only rapidly disintegrate carbon-based life forms, but they could also rapidly prate and dpose various rare metals.


    Even though this sea monster was a steel beast, it could not withstand the attack of high-density rays.


    The three high-density ray weapons burst with light almost at the same time. The three beams were like divine fire that came from different angles.


    With help from the high-definition automatic locking device, the sea monster could not escape even if it wanted to.


    Furthermore, the ray moved so fast that the sea monster could not predict the moment it would fall from the sky.


    Nevertheless, the two bone des in the monster''s hand blocked one of the beams like a blind cat killing a mouse.


    With a boom, the ray prated the bone de and left a small hole.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    The monster was severely injured at this moment. It let out a miserable cry and swayed, as though it would fall at any moment.


    "So, the bone de is the monster''s weakness?"


    The officers in themand center and Wu Mo widened their eyes. They had all seen the events that unfolded.


    This was undoubtedly a great opportunity.


    Although the other two rays did not hit the bone des, they still hit other parts of the monster.


    All of sudden, to everyone''s shock, the monster''s body exploded violently.


    "Oh, what just happened? Why did it explode?"


    No one had expected such a thing to happen.


    The monster''s body exploded with green blood, which flowed into the sea. Soon after, an unbearable stench pervaded the air.


    "Oh, my God! Why is it so smelly?" someone eximed.


    It was like a mixture of rotten eggs and expired stinky tofu, which had been fermented for too long.


    Everyone could not help but look over. At this moment, the air near the port seemed to be polluted by a stench that made everyone gasp.


    "Cough, cough, cough! I''ve had enough, I really can''t take it anymore!"


    It was as if all the terrible smells in the world had gathered there. Even though they were all determined soldiers, no one could endure it.


    Everyone covered their noses in an attempt to resist the stench.


    Wu Mo, who was in front of the screen, could not smell the stench, but he could imagine how suffocating the stench was from the crowd''s reaction.


    Then, another shocking thing happened.


    Within a thousand meters of the coast, countless undersea creatures floated up one after another. They were dead, as they were apparently poisoned to death by the green blood and stench.


    "Poison gas! It''s poisonous gas! Quick, seal the port and stop the poison gas from spreading!"


    The old chief immediately realized the severity of the problem and quickly took emergency action.


    The stench released by this monster after its death was a kind of poison. It would likely spread to other seas with the breeze.


    Once the poison gas spread to coastal fishing areas, it would definitely cause serious ecological damage.


    "D*mn it! I didn''t expect this monster to bring us so much trouble after its death," an officer could not help but curse.


    Wu Mo frowned as well. It seemed like this monster was bing more and more troublesome.


    Its destructive power when it was alive was already daunting, but after its death, it could still cause such terrible pollution. It gave them a big headache.


    At present, they had to deal with the Sea Monster Kings'' threat and control the pollution of the seawater.


    Facing the double pressure, everyone was so busy that they felt like they were fighting in a raging fire.


    Thankfully, the third battalion arrived just at the right time!


    The two battalions joined forces to fight and gathered boundless power.


    Even with conventional weapons, they had an overwhelming advantage against the Sea Monster Kings.


    In addition, the Sea Monster King that controlled the other Sea Monster Kings had been defeated. The surviving monsters then retreated in fear.


    "All nuclear-powered submarines, listen up! We have to kill these monsters with precision and not let them escape!"


    Right then, themand center issued a strict order.


    Twenty nuclear-powered submarines lurked in the nearby waters, like hunters lurking in the dark. They were ready to catch their prey at any time.


    The remaining thirty or so Sea Monster Kings fled in panic and scattered in all directions.


    "They''re not faking it, are they? Haha! Aren''t you supposed to have human intelligence? Why don''t you keep pretending?"


    Seeing this, a muscr officer felt extremely satisfied, and he unwittingly sneered.

 Chapter 498 Biological Regeneration

    Wu Mo could understand their emotions.


    Even though the humans had been winning the war with the sea monsters, every battle was extremely difficult. It was as if the humans were always being led by the nose.


    Ultimately, it was because humans and sea monsters were not of the same size.


    The sea monsters were huge, and they could travel quickly in the sea. Additionally, every movement would cause huge waves.


    They had extremely strong defenses too. Human had to attack them with weapons repeatedly to cause fatal damage.


    ''Sigh... Nature is fair. The bigger ones always overpower the smaller ones,'' Wu Mo thought to himself.


    It was the same in boxing matches. It was difficult to fight opponents of different weight sses because there was huge difference in strength.


    Hence, boxers weighed themselves before a match, and subtle differences were often the key to determining one''s victory.


    "Hmm? If humans could have the same body size as the monsters, wouldn''t the difference in size be made up for?"


    Wu Mo''s heart started to beat furiously. At this moment, he had an unbelievable idea.


    "If a human had the body of a monster and moved like a steel building¡­"


    This new idea slowly unfolded in Wu Mo''s mind, and a blueprint began to take shape in his heart.


    However, no one noticed that Wu Mo was immersed in his own world.


    The officers and the old chief stared at the screen as they anticipated the results of the hunt.


    The Sea Monster Kings were still a serious threat to the sea. If the twenty nuclear-powered submarines could wipe all of them out, that would naturally be the best oue.


    Five of the nuclear-powered submarines were equipped with high-density ray weapons, which gave them some confidence!


    Out of nowhere, five rays shot out from six hundred meters below the sea. It was as if searchlights hidden at the bottom of the sea suddenly decided to illuminate the darkness.


    The Sea Monster Kings could not have expected such terrifying rays to appear next to them!


    The heads of five Sea Monster Kings were instantly blown apart, and they fell to the ground limply. They could not even scream.


    The remaining Sea Monster Kings fled in all directions. In their panic, a few of them collided with each other. Their heads were wounded, and they were on the verge of copse.


    "Hahaha. No matter how intelligent these Sea Monster Kings are, they''repletely flustered in a situation like this!"


    An officer could not help butugh.


    However, in the next moment, he could notugh anymore. No one couldugh anymore!


    On the screen, a terrifying sea monster was revealed through a long-range lens. It resembled a giant python. It had no limbs, only a huge head and a smooth body. It also had a tough and powerful tongue that was swaying in the air like wet cloth.


    "Huh? A giant deep sea serpent?"


    Everyone widened their eyes and stared at it.


    This mysterious sea monster, which had never been seen before, appeared when the Sea Monster King army was in danger.


    The officers were dumbfounded because they did not understand the sea monster''s intentions.


    "D*mn it! The Sea Monster King army is already a headache, but there are still so many sea monsters supporting them!" an officer could not help but curse in anger.


    The humans only defeated the sea monster with double bone des after much effort earlier, and now, this ferocious sea monster had appeared. Looking at its appearance, it was probably even more terrifying than anything they had witnessed before.


    As expected, the sea serpent proved its strength with its actions!


    Rumble...


    All of a sudden, an explosion came from a thousand meters below the sea. It was as though an underwater volcano that had been silent for thousands of years had erupted.


    The sea water instantly boiled, and countless huge bubbles appeared like human heads. They were densely packed, like a school of carp emerging from the water.


    It was extremely terrifying. Even the nuclear-powered submarines retreated quickly and dared not approach them.


    The huge serpent at the bottom of the sea was like a divine pir. It stood proudly in the sea as it casually swung its huge head and waved its terrifying tongue!


    Its triangr eyes were fixed on the humans, but there was no hatred or light in them.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    The monster was extremely cold like a walking corpse.


    Everyone felt the fear in the sea monster''s eyes. Their instincts told them that this was an unpredictable enemy.


    "Kill it with the high-density ray weapon! What are you waiting for?!" themander at the forefront ordered coldly.


    Even though he was shocked to see the giant deep sea serpent, he could not help but feel annoyed about this monster blocking all the human armed forces there.


    Following that, a nuclear-powered submarine followed themander''s orders and locked onto the serpent''s head with high-density ray weapons, ready to fire at any time.


    At this critical moment, although everyone knew that one should attack the seven inches of a serpent, this underwater monster was not ordinary.


    It was hidden in the vast sea water, and there were many uncertain factors, making it difficult for people to find its fatal weakness.


    At this time, the only way was to hit its head!


    At this moment, Wu Mo was immersed in his own thoughts and almost forgot about the terrifying underwater serpent in front of him.


    Finally, the high-density ray weapon released a ray that could destroy the world.


    Aser shed across the sky in less than a second, catching the giant serpent off guard!


    At that moment, the head of the giant underwater serpent exploded, and its flesh was a mess.


    Its brain paste was simr to theposition of other creatures on Earth, and it was extremely disgusting.


    Someone couldn''t help but sneer, "Haha, keep pretending. Keep pretending!"


    Back then, the giant serpent had appeared domineeringly, but now, it was like a dead dog.


    Who would have thought that it would be so fragile?


    However, what happened next was shocking.


    Even though the head of the giant undersea serpent had been blown into pieces, its body was still standing on the surface of the sea, swaying slowly as if it had not suffered any damage.


    "Heavens, how is this possible?"


    Everyone widened their eyes in disbelief.


    The serpent''s head no longer existed, only a few drops of brain matter remained on its body.


    However, it was still swaying slowly, as if it still had a head.


    "How is this possible? This guy is too abnormal!" afrontline soldier eximed.


    In order to test the giant serpent, themander sent a cruiser to pass in front of it to create a false attack atmosphere.


    When the cruiser approached the giant serpent''s attack range, the giant serpent suddenly attacked!


    Its body struck down like a whip.


    There was a loud bang.


    "Quick, speed up!"


    The people on the cruiser panicked.


    The cruiser elerated in desperation, trying to escape at twice its speed.


    However, the stern of the ship was still unable to dodge the strange serpent''s violent attack!


    "Something''s wrong. This guy has lost his head and only has a broken body left. He can still sense the outside world. This is simply beyond our imagination!"


    In themand center, an officer eximed.


    Thinking about it carefully, the sea monster''s abilities were varied and bizarre, so it was not strange for it to have such abilities.


    Suddenly, someone noticed Wu Mo.


    Everyone widened their eyes and looked at him in a daze. They did not know what he was doing.

 Chapter 499 A New Concept

    At this moment, Wu Mo''s thoughts seemed to be drifting. He sat there motionlessly, but his eyes flickered with a strange light.


    In his mind, a mech model gradually appeared!


    This mech had a powerful floating ability and various offensive methods in the deep sea.


    Moreover, the height of the mech had to be at least 100 meters, and it had to adopt a human-like form to better adapt to theplex environment.


    This mech was no longer just a product of science fiction movies or novels, but a weapon of war that was about to appear in front of people.


    Once this vague concept entered Mo''s mind, it could not be erased.


    He was currently considering how to create such a mech.


    In order to create such a mech, one must first have extremely tough and rigid materials.


    Ordinary steel and alloy materials were obviously not suitable.


    However, Wu Mo knew that this was not a problem.


    In China, there were manyrge-scale metal smelting factories with great strength. As long as the corresponding requirements were given, they would definitely be able to produce the required materials.


    After solving the material problem, the next step was to control the core chip.


    The chip had to have an extremely high fault tolerance rate, and its stability was far beyond that of ordinary military equipment.


    After all, if the war mech made a mistake in itsmands duringbat, it could cause irreparable and terrifying consequences.


    After solving the problem of the chip and materials, the next step was the design strategy.


    The mech must be developed in all aspects. There must not be any obvious ws in defense, movement speed, and offense.


    At the same time, it also needed to be able to provide real-time feedback of information from all sides, automatically filter information, and respond quickly to changes in the surrounding environment at any time.


    "Once such a war mech is born, it will be a perfect killing machine, the ultimate nemesis of the sea monsters!" Wu Mo said to himself enthusiastically.


    "Huh, Chief Engineer Wu, what are you talking about?"


    When everyone heard Wu Mo''s words, they were immediately puzzled.


    "Mech? Chief Wu, why don''t we understand what you''re saying?"


    Everyone was confused.


    Wu Mo smiled and shook his head. "It''s nothing, I just have an idea!"


    "Oh, an idea?"


    The officers looked at each other and smiled in understanding.


    They all knew that Wu Mo was a genius in military design. Once he had an idea and was still immersed in it, it would definitely be something extraordinary.


    Therefore, everyone was secretly looking forward to seeing what kind of shocking work Wu Mo would produce next.


    At this moment, Wu Mo noticed that the beheaded giant sea serpent on the screen was still attacking the nuclear-powered submarine!


    "What''s happening? This sea serpent is ignoring its injury. Could it be that its nerve center isn''t in the brain?"


    Wu Mo was confused. He thought of the basic principle of biological evolution, the nerve control center should be in the brain.


    The nuclear-powered submarine shot out another high-density ray, which pierced through the part of the sea serpent that was connected to its head.


    However, the sea serpent grew a new brain at a speed visible to the naked eye!


    Despite that, its body was slightly shorter, and it looked extremely strange and distorted.


    "What?! Cell regeneration?" Wu Mo could not help but scream.


    This was his next research direction in the field of biotechnology. It waspletely different from Life First and Life Second. It was an independent research field.


    After the sea serpent''s brain suffered devastating damage, its remaining cells rapidly expanded and regenerated. It could even differentiate into brain cells to make up for minor injuries.


    The birth of this kind of cross-attribute biological cells was originally a far-fetched imagination, but now that it was vividly disyed on this sea serpent, Wu Mo was instantly worked up!


    "If biological technology can reach this level, Life First will be a near-perfect concept!" Wu Mo eximed excitedly.


    The appearance of the sea serpent gave him great confidence and let him know that the regenerative technology of biological bodies was about to be avable.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Unfortunately, the tragedy of the disabled still exists in human society today.


    When they lost their limbs or vital organs, they could not rely on medicine to repair them. They could only live their lives with regret.


    However, if there was such a medicine, it could regrow broken arms, repair broken legs, and return them to normal.


    Then, these people would be able to live normally and be filled with hope and desire for life again!


    The sea serpent''s regrown brain shocked everyone, but Wu Mo saw another ray of hope.


    Boom!


    On the screen, another high-density ray blew up the sea serpent''s newly grown head.


    However, this time, the sea serpent seemed to be using all its strength to grow another head, but it was already slowing down.


    "Continue fighting! Hit its brain!"


    Themander on the front line seemed to have gone crazy and only ordered to attack its head.


    Rumble¡­ Boom!


    A few high-density rays flew past, sting the serpent''s head into pieces.


    However, what happened next shocked everyone!


    After the sea serpent''s head was repeatedly shattered, it could not be repaired for a long time.


    Then, a tender bud slowly grew out of the bloody stump. On the tender bud was a ball of new red meat. This "meatball" gradually grew bigger, and the serpent''s facial features appeared.


    This scene left everyone dumbstruck. It was as if they were watching a miracle. It was unbelievable!


    Only a few brain cells had been left behind after the root of the brain was blown up. Yet, these cells could grow a brand new brain in just three minutes¡­


    Such a thing was so absurd that it was hard to believe!


    At this time, Wu Mo''s eyes widened as he noticed that the frontlinemander was still ordering the high-density ray weapons to fire at the sea serpent''s head.


    However, he suddenly had an idea and suggested, "Don''t hit its head, aim at the lower part of its head. Its regenerative cells should be hidden in its neck."


    Filled with enthusiasm, Wu Mo asked the frontlinemander to act ording to his suggestion.


    As expected, a ray pierced through its neck and severed its head again.


    The sea snake was finally unable to grow its head. It swayed and was about to fall into the sea.


    "Haha! It''s finally dead. This really was an immortal serpent!"


    The old chief could not help but sigh.


    If not for Wu Mo''s suggestion, the front line would have to fight with this serpent for a while before the oue could be decided.


    "Collect the specimens and send them back to theboratory for research!" Wu Mo ordered again.


    After the sea serpent was killed, the elite team took a small frigate to the sea to collect arge number of biological cell samples forboratory research.


    In the end, the battle subsided.


    Although not all the sea monsters had been wiped out, most of them had died near the port.


    The rest were gradually killed or injured in the pursuit of the nuclear-powered submarines.


    Special sea monsters, such as the Undying Serpent and the Dual-de Sea Monster, had also been sessfully destroyed by humans!


    This victory inspired people all over the world and made them realize that China had the ability to defend its territory and even represent the world in resisting the invasion of sea monsters!


    However, Wu Mo had new things to do. He had two grand ns: Battle mechs and short-term biological regeneration technology.


    For the first time, Wu Mo named this technology as biological regeneration technology.


    Regeneration was to add the youthful factor in Life First and allowing the organism to grow rapidly after being injured. This would achieved the effect of regeneration.


    Once it was released, it would bring good news to mankind and heal countless physical and mental wounds!


    This technology would be presented in the form of an agent. It was the third breakthrough in biotechnology after Life First and Life Second.

 Chapter 500 Hope Of Regeneration

    The field of biotechnology that the old chief had been looking forward to for a long time finally ushered in a major breakthrough.


    Once this technology was released, it would be on par with Life First and Life Second!


    Life First and Life Second focused on future development, while the Biological Regeneration Agent focused on allowing people to live in the present. Life would be better, and they would live without regrets!


    When the old chief learned that Wu Mo was researching the Biological Regeneration Agent, he ran over to check on the project in surprise.


    "Wu Mo, can you really make a medicine that repairs physical disabilities?" he asked with bright eyes.


    The old chief saw the jars, as well as bottles, in theboratory, and he was shocked.


    " That''s right," Wu Mo replied with a smile." The Biological Regeneration Agent will allow a person to recover their damaged limbs in a short period of time. Even permanent scars can be instantly healed. The principle behind it is the use of biological regenerative cells for cross-border growth."


    "Cross-border growth?" The old chief was very curious when he heard this new term.


    "It refers to cells of different attributes being in different areas of the human body. They can grow and differentiate in both directions," Wu Mo exined. "As long as we reach this level, any organ in our body can be differentiated."


    "Oh, Wu Mo, isn''t this technology the same as cloning a human body?"


    The old chief frowned in surprise.


    Human cloning was banned worldwide for ethical reasons.


    However, Wu Mo''s current research on the Biological Regeneration Agent made it seem like he was trying to clone a new body


    Wu Mo shook his head and smiled. "No, Chief. This has nothing to do with cloning. A clone is a new whole, while the Biological Regeneration Agent makes an iplete individual perfect. There''s a huge difference between the two."


    The old chief finally understood what was going on after he heard the simple exnation.


    He nodded and smiled. "Wu Mo, develop this Biological Regeneration Agent as soon as possible! There are many outstanding soldiers in the army who''ve be disabled as a result of arduous missions. They retired with lifelong regrets. Using this medicine to repair their bodies will be a greatfort to their minds and bodies!"


    Wu Mo''s original intention of researching the Biological Regeneration Agent was not only to serve the ordinary people but also to give the brave soldiers in the army a new lease on life.


    The huge investment required for the research of the Biological Regeneration Agent gave him some pressure, but after he saw the impact of Life First and the poprity of Life Second, he was full of confidence.


    The research process was long and boring. It was no surprise that Wu Mo missed his family and his beloved Shen Qingya.


    He secretly decided that after the Biological Regeneration Agent or the war mech came out, he would take a short vacation for himself and spend time with his girlfriend.


    During his free time at his parents'' house, Wu Mo listened to them talk about family matters and learned about the physical injuries that some rtives, as well as friends, had sustained.


    These stories made him even more determined to research the Biological Regeneration Agent. He wanted to heal the wounds of those who had fought for their lives to realize their dreams.


    Late at night, Wu Mo returned to the research base instead of resting.


    He had already developed the habit of sleepingte, and he was most awake at this time.


    Biological regeneration technology was a unique field that waspletely different from cloning technology. It focused on the different evolutions of an individual.


    He finally understood the principles behind the Biological Regeneration Agent. It was as if he had seen a ray of hope.


    Wu Mo heaved a sigh of relief as the development of this Biological Regeneration Agent was about to bepleted.


    He knew that the first agent would be released soon, and the first test subject would be a soldier from the army.


    This soldier was over thirty years old, but he still retained his youthful vigor.


    He had gone on numerous difficult missions in the army. Not only was he tenacious, but he had also left a permanent mark.


    Wu Mo was looking forward to the Biological Regeneration Agent to bring new life to this soldier. It would allow him to embrace the future that he had lost.


    Everyone called him "Young Master" because he was handsome.


    This handsome young master had many military achievements. However, on the eve of his promotion, he identally fell from the fifth floor during a special mission. As a result, he injured his leg.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    The doctor told him that they needed to amputate it to save his life. The young master reluctantly epted his cruel fate andter wore a prosthetic leg.


    Even so, his days in the army were already in the past, and he was no longer part of the special elites.


    The young master still had many options in his career, but he was a proud soul, so he ultimately chose to retire.


    Nevertheless, his outstanding performance and military exploits in the pastpelled his higher-ups to let him stay on the base temporarily in a semi-retired state.


    Wu Mo had been deeply moved by the young master''s experience. Therefore, he decided to let him be the first test subject of the Biological Regeneration Agent.


    When the young master heard the news, he was so excited that tears streamed down his face.


    He found it hard to believe, and his heart was filled with anticipation. Even if there was only a glimmer of hope, he would cherish it.


    Worse came to worse, the agent would just be ineffective. Besides, he had gotten used to the uncertainty of his life a long time ago.


    The excited and uneasy young master headed to the Institute of Special Biology. There, he met his senior officer and the old chief whom he had not seen for quite some time.


    The young master saluted them solemnly and walked into the research room.


    A group of military officers and senior generals looked at the young master. They were proud that he had the opportunity to undergo the Biological Regeneration Agent experiment.


    However, the young master did not know that Wu Mo''s regenerative agent would not be taken orally but applied to the wound.


    Although his wound had already scabbed over, the special biological factors in the agent could prate his skin and enter the bloodstream to promote biological division and regeneration.


    This process would undoubtedly be painful, but for the chance to be reborn, this pain was insignificant.


    In the biological researchb, Xu Wanqing and a few assistants conducted experiments on the young master with Wu Mo''s guidance.


    Looking at the young master''s clenched teeth, Wu Mo''s heart ached. What kind of pain was this once iron-willed man suffering from?


    The Biological Regeneration Agent still needed to be improved, and as the first test subject, the young master had to endure the pain of this process.


    After the test, they put him under observation for seventy-two hours to ensure that there were no abnormal reactions.


    Soon, theboratory door opened, and Wu Mo and his assistants walked out.


    Everyone gathered around nervously.


    The old chief and the officers were all concerned about the young master''s condition because the army''s honor was dependent on the sess of his trial.


    Wu Mo told everyone that the young master had sessfully absorbed the agent and his body was not rejecting it.


    Everyone was relieved when they heard the news.


    However, several waves of sea monsters appeared while they anxiously waited for the results.


    These sea monsters underwent a mutation and began to attempt long-range attacks.


    They lifted huge rocks and threw them at the patrol ships and frigates.


    The military had been on high alert to prevent the monsters from mutating further.


    Seventy-two hours passed, and the exciting moment finally arrived! The young master slowly walked out of the observation room, and everyone looked at him in surprise.


    Although the young master was still wearing a prosthetic leg, the expression on his face revealed nervousness, fear, and joy.


    These conflicting emotions were intertwined, and they revealed the young master''s current mood.


    Someone went up to him and asked with concern, "How are you, Young Master? Has there been any change?"


    The young master nodded and quickly sat down to remove the prosthetic leg. He revealed the shocking changes that had taken ce in his limb.

 Chapter 501 Biological Regeneration Agent

    His skin was bulging slightly, and there was a red mark that resembled a burning cloud. It was particrly eye-catching since his skin had previously been smooth.


    A soldier pointed at his amputated leg and asked hesitantly, "What is this?"


    The young master''s skin was covered in a starry red spot, like he had some kind of terrifying skin disease.


    Wu Mo revealed a kind smile and gently exined, "This is an indication of regeneration. The red spots on his skin mean that the agent has been fully absorbed in his body."


    His words were like morning dew that refreshed the souls of the people, and they suddenly saw the light.


    Everyone nodded silently, but one of the officers asked the most important question, "Chief Engineer Wu, how long will it take for the young master topletely regenerate his amputated leg?"


    Wu Mo pondered for a while and softly said, "About half a month."


    What?


    Only half a month?


    Everyone felt their hearts beat violently as if they could feel the passage of time.


    To grow an amputated leg in half a month was simply ridiculous.


    Did this not make zero sense?


    Everyone was even thinking about nting crops in the meantime. However, the amputated leg would apparently grow back in half a month, and they would see obvious changes every day.


    They were all looking forward to the final result half a monthter.


    How would the young master change?


    "In half a month, you''ll see a brand-new young master."


    Wu Mo smiled again and filled everyone with confidence.


    He turned around and walked to the other side to observe the fortieth batch of people who were receiving the Life Second injection.


    Their conditions were stable, and they had sessfully increased their lifespan by sixty years. They also looked an astonishing thirty years younger.


    Everyone was extremely excited, and their eyes were filled with reverence.


    They knew that Wu Mo had brought all of this to them and he was the one who had given them a new life.


    They were supposed to be in their twilight years, but now, they had seemingly rekindled the fire of their youth and were full of vitality. It was as if they had traveled back in time.


    No longer troubled by regrets, they revisited their ideals and unfinished aspirations again and bravely pursued them.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, thank you! You''ve given us hope for a new life!"


    They were filled with emotion and their voices were filled with respect.


    Wu Mo nodded and smiled. He understood their feelings. Regaining one''s youth was an unimaginable joy for anyone.


    Time passed, and in the span of half a month, the sea monsters would still asionally attack.


    However, people discovered that the frequency of their attacks seemed to be decreasing.


    Satellites scanned the area near the nest every day. Thetest results showed that there had been no monsters near the wormhole for three days and three nights.


    At one point, monsters woulde out of the wormhole every hour. Hence, three days and three nights of silence made people feel uneasy.


    Was it another calm before the storm?


    The people pondered in silence and increased their surveince to ensure that the monsters in the wormhole would be discovered the moment they appeared.


    Half a monthter, the young master''s leg grew back to everyone''s shock.


    During this process, he made new discoveries every day.


    Every day when he woke up, he would find that his amputated leg had surprisingly grown a little more.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    At first, he thought that it was an illusion, but in the end, the change was too obvious. When he realized that his amputated leg had regenerated, he was in utter disbelief.


    "Hahaha, I''m finally not disabled anymore. I can stand up!"


    The young masterughed hysterically in excitement. He was choked with emotion, and he did not know whether tough or cry.


    "This is making me emotional! Thank you, Chief Engineer Wu, and thank you to everyone in the Institute of Special Biology! Thank you, everyone!"


    The young master bowed to all of them and gave them a salute.


    Right then, every staff member in the research institute was filled with emotion too.


    They were secretly amazed as they looked at the young master''s rebirth. This Biological Regeneration Agent was heaven-defying. It was undoubtedly a great invention that benefited mankind.


    News of the young master sessfully regrowing his amputated leg struck those in the military like lightning.


    When hisrades who had fought by his side heard the news, they all rushed to the Institute of Special Biology.


    Seeing their young master stand upright, they could not help but feel emotional. After careful inspection, they realized that it was indeed a real leg, and they were instantly moved.


    Many of his oldrades'' eyes were red. The battles they had experienced with the young master were their most precious memories.


    However, after the young master lost his leg, he left the elite marines, and they suffered as a result.


    They could see that he was now able to return to the battlefield, so everyone was filled with anticipation.


    "Young Master, we look forward to the day you return to the team!"


    An officer who looked like a captain reached out to shake the young master''s hand.


    The young master nodded seriously. He knew that his captain and team members expected this of him.


    He gritted his teeth and said, "As long as I''m alive, as long as I''m healthy, and as long as the troops need me, I''ll go to the front lines!"


    Wu Mo was moved too when he heard the young master''s words. This was exactly what he wanted to see. It was what made the Biological Regeneration Agent so special.


    The young master''smanding officer was taken aback as well when he saw the regenerated leg!


    "Chief Engineer Wu, this Biological Regeneration Agent is amazing! There are many good soldiers like the young master in our army. Once the agent''s approved for mass-production, I hope you''ll let them use it as soon as possible!"


    The officer was obviously trying to fight for an opportunity for his soldiers who had been injured by the special mission.


    He knew that this Biological Regeneration Agent was extremely precious. He had to put in some effort so that those brave soldiers on the front line would have a chance.


    However, Wu Mo reassured him with a smile. "Don''t worry, the Biological Regeneration Agent will eventually be widespread. When that happens, most people will be able to use it."


    The officer finally heaved a sigh of relief after Wu Mo gave him his word.


    What Wu Mo needed to do next was develop the first batch of special Biological Regeneration Agents.


    Wu Mo decided to make fifty bottles of the agent at once. However, it was a little challenging for him because he needed to improve the efficacy of the agent while he developed it.


    Currently, there was a ten percent chance that a test subject would faint during the administration of the Biological Regeneration Agent. Moreover, the agent caused severe pain when it was administered, and those with weaker willpower might not be able to stand it.


    He needed to fix these ws.


    The current test subjects for the agent might be tenacious soldiers in the army, but the trials would be extended to ordinary people in the future.


    They did not necessarily have the strongest willpower. Some people were extremely afraid of pain, and they might develop a resistance because of it.


    Three dayster, Wu Mo proudly announced the official release of the Biological Regeneration Agent''s first batch.


    There were a total of fifty bottles, and the effects of the improved agent were perfect. The probability of severe pain and fainting had beenpletely diminished, and there were no more side effects.


    On this day, the old chief and a few military officers visited the Institute of Special Biology to witness the grand ceremony.

 Chapter 502 Award

    Fifty disabled soldiers would be the first batch of test subjects for the special regenerative agent. They were all semi-retired or retired soldiers selected from eachpany.


    These soldiers had made great contributions, but they were left with all kinds of injuries, such as severed arms and legs. These were sources of regret in their life.


    However, their eyes were now wide in anticipation. They were hoping to use the Biological Regeneration Agent to regrow their limbs like the young master.


    These fifty people swore that as long as they could regenerate their missing limbs, they would return to the battlefield and bring glory to their country.


    Wu Mo looked at their determined expressions and smiled internally. He then signaled for the researchers and staff to begin.


    Immediately after, the staff members who had been trained by Wu Mo carefully opened the bottles of Biological Regeneration Agent and began administering them on the outstanding soldiers.


    Everyone was on the edge of their seats.


    The small bottles before them were filled with a mysterious blue liquid, which gave them some doubt.


    Could this agent really regenerate a person''s limbs?


    Finally, an hour passed amid the tense and exciting atmosphere.


    After everyone was given the Biological Regeneration Agent, they entered the observation room for seventy-two hours.


    "Wu Mo, once their limbs regenerate, I''ll definitely hold a special award ceremony for you and these researchers, as well as staff, whether you agree to it or not!"


    The old chief patted Wu Mo on the shoulder and spoke affectionately.


    Wu Mo knew that the soldiers held a special ce in the old chief''s heart. Seeing that his invention could save their lives, he was happy.


    Furthermore, Wu Mo was thinking about making a second batch of the agents since these soldiers had already used the avable ones.


    He had not forgotten about his disabled rtives after all. They could also join the second batch of test subjects and enjoy the blessing of a rebirth.


    Sure enough, the physical conditions of the fifty soldiers remained stable after seventy-two hours.


    After three days and three nights, their physical stats reached a perfect level. As such, Wu Mo could announce that the second trials had been sessfullypleted.


    When the test subjects walked out of the observation room and learned of the results, they were so excited that they could not speak.


    Wu Mo then told them to stay at home for fifteen days to observe the changes in their body.


    Everyone had to return to the Institute of Special Biology after that to report on their recovery.


    They nodded solemnly and left the Institute of Special Biology feeling a little uneasy.


    Wu Mo knew that the results would cause a sensation fifteen dayster.


    In the beginning, only the young master had received the Biological Regeneration Agent, and he was an isted case.


    Now that all fifty of these outstanding warriors were going to recover, how shocking would it be?


    Out of the fifty warriors, forty-eight of them sessfully regrew their severed limbs. Only two of them experienced minor changes in their physical data and needed to be observed for a longer period.


    Even so, the ny-six-percent sess rate still left everyone dumbfounded and amazed!


    "Heavens, this sess rate is simply unbelievable! It''s enough for widespread use!"


    An officer could not help but sigh.


    After their "rebirth," these warriors were filled with joy. They were so excited that tears welled up in their eyes.


    A soldier excitedly held Wu Mo''s hand and sobbed. "Chief Engineer Wu, thank you! You''ve given us a new life and the chance to bring glory to our country again as well as fight on the battlefield!"<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Wu Mo nodded andforted the excited soldier.


    He was satisfied because the sess rate had far exceeded his expectations.


    Originally, he had only predicted a ny-percent sess rate for the second batch.


    After all, this agent had just been developed, so its sess rate would not suddenly reach a hundred percent.


    Even if the remaining two soldiers did not achieve the desired effect for the time being, their lives would not be endangered.


    The agent''s effect might be slightly dyed, and they would require follow-up treatment, but that was all.


    The celebratory andmendation ceremony was held as scheduled, and fifty soldiers sat among them.


    As the first soldier to receive the Biological Regeneration drug, the young master stood on the podium and expressed his gratitude passionately. He also described his mental journey during the treatment process.


    He longed to return to the battlefield and bring glory to his country.


    Everyone reminisced on the young master''s heroic deeds in the past. Hearing his impassioned speech, they could not help but wipe the tears from the corners of their eyes.


    In the end, the young master made a solemn promise to everyone. After a period of special recovery training, he would return to the army and be an omnipotent elite in the Special Forces again.


    After the young master''s speech ended, the entire venue erupted in thunderous apuse.


    Then, the second batch of fifty soldiers who had received the Biological Regeneration Agent went on stage in session to express their feelings.


    Each of these brave warriors had a simr experience as the young master. Their internal journeys were also unique, and they found emotional support here.


    They had either retired from the most outstandingpany or were in a semi-retired state. They could deeply understand each other''s thoughts and feelings.


    Everyone on the stage, including Wu Mo, felt sympathy for them. They knew that these soldiers had endured a lot, and now, it finally felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off their shoulders.


    "Wu Mo, we''ll remember your great contribution for eternity! No medal in this world is enough to express our respect!" an officer below the stage said to Wu Mo excitedly.


    Wu Mo finally stepped forward at this moment. Lights kept shing as reporters aimed their cameras at him.


    Everyone knew that it was this outstanding scientist who developed a major breakthrough in the field of biotechnology¡ªthe Biological Regeneration Agent was a legendary magical thing.


    For one, it could regenerate severed arms and legs. It could even reforge a warrior''s will and reignite the fire in his soul!


    As Wu Mo slowly walked up to the podium, thunderous apuse rose and fell. It echoed throughout the entire venue and never seemed to fade.


    Everyone was staring at Wu Mo with respect.


    Right then, Wu Mo looked at the faces below that were glowing with new life, and he could not help but nod his head in relief.


    "It has always been my intention to develop a biological regeneration drug that would allow you to gain a new lease on life and make up for your past injuries! The power of the Biological Regeneration Agent isn''t limited to the soldiers present. It will benefit the world and rid countless people of their regrets¡­"


    Wu Mo described in detail the process of developing the Biological Regeneration Agent and expressed his current predicament.


    In the end, he firmly stated that no matter what difficulties he encountered, he would ovee them becausethis was the result of everyone''s joint efforts.


    It was a fact.


    When Wu Mo''s speech came to an end, the apuse in the entire venue reverberated like thunder, and it did not die down for a long time.


    After that, Wu Mo began a new journey in the Institute of Special Biology. He focused on observing the volunteers for the Biological Regeneration Agent trials.

 Chapter 503 The Wormhole Must Be Destroyed

    The big data analysis revealed that among the five hundred volunteers, only five of them did not achieve the intended results. This meant that the effectiveness rate was as high as ny-nine percent!


    From the original four percent to the current ny-nine percent, it was undoubtedly an unprecedented huge breakthrough.


    This made Wu Mo and the research team more confident. They believed that the biological regeneration drug would eventually achieve near-perfect results.


    At this moment, Wu Mo felt extremely satisfied as he witnessed everything. This was the result he had been waiting for.


    His hard work finally paid off, making him feel that everything was worth it.


    With the widespread use of Life First and Life Second, Wu Mo elerated the maturity of the Biological Regeneration Agent.


    At this moment, a group of unfamiliar faces arrived at the Institute of Special Biology.


    This was the fifth batch of volunteers to be tested. Although they were not familiar to the staff, they were quite close to Wu Mo.


    Wu Mo''s parents were among the group. Although they were not physically disabled, these volunteers were rtives and friends from their hometown.


    Five of them were Wu Mo''s distant rtives. The injuries on their bodies were visible to the naked eye.


    In the past, these people had risked their lives for a living and had even done some extremely dangerous things.


    Although these things could bring them generous rewards, they could also cause them to be permanently disabled if they were not careful.


    They were very nervous at the moment. They looked around and found that the mysterious equipment and atmosphere in the special Institute of Special Biology made them very nervous.


    Then, Wu Mo led everyone to the observation room.


    Wu Mo''s parents could not help but feel curious.


    They had also set foot here when they were injected with Life First.


    However, the environment of the reverse biological growthboratory was brand new. The air was fresh and quiet, as warm andfortable as a hotel suite.


    Wu Moter exined to them that because there would be slight difort during the Biological Regeneration Agent test, the design of such a warm environment like home would make the volunteers feel more at ease.


    Not long after, the fifth batch of test subjects were tested one after another.


    They said that the pain was not severe, but it was like an ant''s bite.


    Wu Mo was well aware of this feeling because he had experienced it before. There was nothing unusual about this slight pain.


    The principle of the Biological Regeneration Agent was to allow the medicinal properties to prate the inneryer of the skin and repair the cells.


    If there was no feeling at all, it meant that the potion had no effect.


    At this moment, all the volunteers had received the experimental drug and had to stay in the observation room for seventy-two hours.


    Wu Mo then brought his parents to the cafeteria for lunch. The Institute of Special Biology''s cafeteria was notrge, but it was enough to meet the needs of the staff.


    The food here was quite good. There were four dishes, one soup, and a variety of snacks. It was obvious that everyone was quite satisfied with the treatment at the research institute.


    "Son, now that you''ve developed this drug, everyone is talking about you. They say that you''re the savior and have saved countless lives!"


    "Mom, this is a Biological Regeneration Agent, not a special drug," Wu Mo replied with a smile."


    Wu Mo became the center of attention because he gave those disabled people a second chance at life.


    Those who were physically disabled in the past might look optimistic on the surface, but their hearts would forever copse to a certain extent.


    Now, this Biological Regeneration Agent had finally given them a new life, allowing them toe back to life.


    Therefore, it was not an exaggeration to praise Wu Mo for saving everyone''s lives.


    Three dayster, the volunteers walked out of the observation room one after another.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    The Wu family''s rtives went back with Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu.


    They did not return to their hometown for the time being. Instead, they chose to go to Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu''s ce and wait for the results of the checkup to be released in half a month.


    Taking advantage of this opportunity, they also nned to have fun and rx in the big city.


    Most of these people had been trapped in small viges for their entire lives, and now they had this rare opportunity.


    Once their bodies recovered, they first wanted to try some exciting adventures and experience the excitement of the projects that they could not face when they were physically disabled.


    Wu Mo was also happy to see this scene. After all, people''s optimism helped the absorption of the medicine to a certain extent.


    Therefore, as a member of the Wu family, he did his best to transfer a sum of money to his mother''s ount so that she could treat her rtives well.


    As the host, he should also do his part.


    At this moment, an urgent message came from the front!


    Wu Mo received a phone call, and his expression changed. "What is it? There''s actually such a powerful sea monster?"


    The appearance of a new sea monster was no longer a new thing in this world, but this time, the sea monster had a terrifying ability.


    It could shoot outser beams from a thousand meters away. Its power wasparable to high-densityser devices, and its uracy was even more shocking.


    "Oh, this monster''s range actually exceeds a thousand meters?"


    Wu Mo was also surprised.


    A monster with a range of over a thousand meters was an absurd existence!


    Although the previous sea monster could shootser beams, it could not reach such a long distance.


    A thousand meters was a sensitive number. If it exceeded a thousand meters, the effective lethality and uracy of the high-density beam weapon would be greatly reduced.


    And now, this new sea monster seemed to be even more terrifying than the high-density ray device equipped with a high-definition automatic locking device.


    Not only could it attack from a thousand meters away, but its uracy was also terrifying.


    Wu Mo''s heart was instantly shrouded in a shadow.


    At this moment, Wu Mo could not determine what kind of sea monster it was. He could only look at the video before making a judgment.


    Then, he went to the centralmand center and stared at the screen.


    In the image, in the sea a thousand meters away from a small port city, a huge sea monster appeared on the surface of the sea. Half of its body was floating on the water, and the other half was hidden in the depths of the sea.


    This sea monster resembled a carp. It had a round fish mouth, slightly protruding eyes, and its body was covered in red scales. However, it did not have any limbs. It was like a carp in the market that had be a spirit and had be a giant!


    Then, the carp monster spat out a transparent ripple, as if it was holding the seawater in its mouth and turning it into a sharp sword.


    Wu Mo saw it clearly. It was not a wave, but a high-density ray that was different from infrared and violet rays.


    The ray urately hit a fishing boat moored at the port from a thousand meters away. The fishing boat was parked in a blind spot, and only a small part of the hull was revealed.


    This attack was enough to prove that the monster had amazing uracy and could hit wherever it pointed.


    Wu Mo even suspected that it was a blind cat that had encountered a dead rat and had hit the mark by luck.


    However, the following performance was shocking. It randomly shot out rays after rays, hitting all the ships that were parked near the port urately. Not a single ray was wasted.


    ''Amazing! Truly amazing! It seemed that the sea monsters in the wormhole were getting more and more terrifying. He could not wait any longer. He had to think of a way to blow up the wormhole!'' Wu Mo thought to himself.


    The sea monsters kept appearing, and the humans'' development methods could not keep up with the speed of the sea monsters'' appearance.

 Chapter 504 War Mech

    Wu Mo had just developed a high-density ray weapon, and there were the sea monsters with special abilities, such as the Dual de Sea Monster and Giant Sea Serpent, which were difficult to deal with.


    Just as Wu Mo had the idea of researching the prototype of a mech, a sea monster that could overpower the high-density ray weapons appeared.


    What was going to happen next?


    When Wu Mo developed a mech, would an even more terrifying sea monster appear and challenge the boundaries of human technology?


    Now, the war between humans and sea monsters had seemingly evolved into apetition of technological strength. Whoever could develop faster wouldpletely suppress the other.


    "The high-density ray weapons must be further improved. Increasing their range is the top priority!"


    Wu Mo was determined, and he immediately set up a new project.


    The old chief had established in advance that Wu Mo could independently proceed with research projects in the field of anti-sea monster weaponry. He could do so without the approval of his higher-ups.


    This was to increase Wu Mo''s work efficiency and give him unimpeded room for development.


    After the project was established, Wu Mo immediately threw himself into intense research.


    He opened the Divine-grade system and found that there were indeed some devices in the store that could greatly increase the range of high-density ray weapons by at least one-third.


    In other words, he could increase their range from 1,000 meters to 1,300 meters!


    However, their uracy would also decrease ordingly.


    The increase in range would inevitablye at a price.


    After some consideration, Wu Mo made his choice without hesitation.


    Although their uracy would be slightly reduced, the sea monsters would already be a huge target from a thousand meters away. Hitting the target would not be a big deal.


    As long as he could increase their shooting range, the weapons would be very cost-effective.


    In addition, Wu Mo noticed that he could increase the number of shots from twenty to thirty, but the points required were extremely shocking.


    Every ten additional shots meant killing one more sea monster. Hence, it was costly.


    After weighing the pros and cons, Wu Mo did not make a move.


    After all, he still had to constantly improve the Biological Regeneration Agent and mass-produce it.


    He understood that he could not put all his eggs in one basket.


    Finally, on this day, the range of the high-density ray weapon was increased to 1,300 meters.


    Through, Wu Mo found out that the sea monster had appeared again through the information sharing channel in front of him. He decided to give this sea monster an unexpected surprise.


    At the edge of a port in a small, unfamiliar city, a sea monster gradually surfaced.


    It cleverly controlled the distance and stopped at one thousand and one hundred meters.


    No ship dared to approach this distance, because any ship that approached would be pierced by the merciless rays!


    The firepower was quickly deployed. This monster was like a seasoned warrior, no longer afraid of human conventional weapons.


    The monster might have obtained information from itspanion''s memories. It understood that humans only had one weapon that could threaten it with a range of a thousand meters. Other weapons were meaningless to it.


    The monster released rays crazily. It appeared extremely arrogant.


    However, at this moment, a ck cannon barrel slowly turned from a seemingly inconspicuous small cruiser and aimed at the monster''s head.


    Monster instantly felt a chill run down his spine. He immediately realized that the ck cannon barrel had the ability to harm him!


    Therefore, it decided to strike first.


    It suddenly expanded its round mouth, like a balloon filled with air, and then squeezed it forward.


    Whoosh!


    A beam of light shot out from its mouth.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    At the same time, the upgraded version of the high-density ray device with an increased range also quickly shot out a beam.


    Whoosh!


    The two rays collided violently in the air and disappeared without a trace.


    Wu Mo was surprised. He did not expect the ray of this carp monster topete with the high-density ray!


    ''It seems that developing mechs is imperative!'' Wu Mo thought to himself.


    Fortunately, the upgraded version of the high-density ray device with an increased range could greatly deter the sea monster, so that it did not dare to act recklessly.


    After a while, the sea monster turned around and disappeared into the sea.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, although the increased range of the beams can prevent the sea monsters from approaching, we are still in a passive defensive state. We can only ept the sea monsters'' provocation." An officer shook his head helplessly.


    Wu Mo could see the grievance in the officer''s heart.


    China had a rich supply of conventional weapons and equipment.


    In the face of the sea monster''s powerful strength, all human weapons seemed to be worthless.


    The sea monsters moved at an astonishing speed. They were agile and had great destructive power. They seemed to be able to attack easily at any time and then quickly leave.


    Stopping these sea monsters was undoubtedly a challenge for humans.


    However, Wu Mo confidently said, "Don''t worry. In the near future, we humans will have bodies as powerful as the sea monsters. We will be able to roam freely on the sea, as if we were walking on giant buildings onnd."


    Hearing Wu Mo''s words, the officer widened his eyes and asked in shock, "Chief Engineer Wu, do you know what you''re saying?"


    He stared at Wu Mo in disbelief.


    Wu Mo smiled and nodded confidently. "I know what I''m saying. In the near future, such a thing would definitely be a reality. Trust me!"


    Wu Mo returned to the Institute of Special Biology and saw the people who had already undergone the Biological Regeneration Agent trials. Their faces were filled with joy as if they had been reborn.


    He checked his points in the system and found that he had umted arge amount of resources.


    At this rate, it would not be long before he could start developing a mech.


    Wu Mo thought to himself, ''The development of mechs is the ultimate method to deal with sea monsters and also one of the most effective methods of attack!''


    Other than that, other weapons such as high-density rays, conventional weapons, andpound missiles were only minor problems.


    Only when mechs simr to sea monsters were invented could it truly be considered the era when humans began to fight back!


    Wu Mo thought to himself, ''When that timees, I''ll let humans have the same powerful body and structure as the sea monsters, and then we''ll have another fight to the death!''


    He knew that the only way out was to develop war mechs and create powerful mechs to fight against these monsters so that they would not be so brazen again.


    Another important task was to destroy the wormhole hidden at the bottom of the sea.


    That hole was undoubtedly the source of all the monsters. If they could not destroy it, there would probably be an endless stream of monsters jumping out.


    These monsters came from a mysterious time node in the depths of the universe. No one could predict whether a terrifying monster with the ability of a high-tech civilization would appear in the next moment. They might have the ability to directly destroy a country.


    This was not something imagined in science fiction movies, but a panic that could happen in reality at any time.


    Everyone on the felt the tense atmosphere, and they all looked at China and Wu Mo.


    They all wanted to know how Wu Mo would deal with these sea monsters.


    Now, the world had achieved overseas information sharing. When a country was invaded by sea monsters, all the video data would be immediately transmitted to the global research center, where senior biological research experts from various countries would continuously discuss and analyze it.


    However, there were many types of sea monsters, and they were difficult to grasp, which caused great trouble for the experts.


    At the same time, Wu Mo was speeding up the mass production of the Biological Regeneration Agent.

 Chapter 505 Tell The R&D Department

    The prerequisite for developing mechs was to make the Biological Regeneration Agent asmon as Life First and Second.


    Once these three potions could benefit the whole of China, Wu Mo would have the confidence to carry out the ultimate research against sea monsters.


    At this moment, the Biological Regeneration Agent had already cured the disabilities of countless people, and one batch after another was being sent to the Institute of Special Biology.


    Wu Mo felt extremely gratified. Not only did this cause bring him prestige and praise, but it also brought him many benefits.


    Finally, one day, Wu Mo decided to start developing the mechs.


    This undertaking needed to be kept a secret until the war mechs were invented. The public could not learn about it.


    For this, Wu Mo had an especially long conversation with the old chiefte at night.


    After three hours of discussion, the old chief was amazed. It took him a long time to calm down.


    He then encouraged Wu Mo. "Go ahead and do it. I''ll set this as a high-priority project so that all parties will make way for you. We''ll give you our full cooperation in its development."


    Wu Mo nodded. He had met up with the old chief for this very reason.


    After all, the development of the war mech was of great importance. It required the full cooperation of all the major departments. There could not be any mistakes in the process.


    Materials were the main problem, though.


    Wu Mo pondered for a moment and suggested, "Chief, I need Huayang Heavy Industries in Dongyang to mass produce the material for the shell. Do you think it''s okay?"


    Huayang Heavy Industries was thergest steel smelter in the country, and its production capacity was extremelyrge.


    Wu Mo had taken a fancy to the enormous power of this smelter.


    He needed Huayang Heavy Industries to temporarily stop some of its business and focus on the production of mech shell materials.


    Wu Mo understood that the outer shell of this type of mech had extremely high requirements. Its hardness, toughness, water resistance, fire resistance, and many other aspects had to meet extremely high standards.


    Among the many steel smelters in China, there were not many that could meet these conditions, and Huayang Heavy Industries was undoubtedly the best among them.


    The old chief nodded in agreement. "Go ahead and do it. I''ll give the orders over on my side."


    After expressing his gratitude, Wu Mo began to prepare the base for the development of mechs. The location was located at the harbor of Shen Gang, which had been destroyed by sea monsters.


    The ce was heavily guarded, with intense firepower and strict surveince to ensure that the outside world could not spy on Wu Mo''s research direction.


    Wu Mo also specially selected a hundred senior engineers and technical workers.


    They first built arge tform at the seaside harbor and built virtual models on it.


    Then, they assembled the pieces ording to the model''s direction, finally forming the overall external structure of the mech.


    As for the internal chip and the main control system, Wu Mo chose to design it himself.


    When these engineers and technical workers saw the design of the mech''s external structure, they were amazed. "Oh, my God, Chief Engineer Wu! Are you developing such arge tank?"


    They still did not know what a war mech looked like. They only knew that Wu Mo wanted to create arge-scalebat device, but its scale was evenrger than a tank.


    "This is a brand-new weapon device," Wu Mo exined. "It''s different from any weapon in the past. You guys can assemble them ording to the modules first. You''ll understand when the timees."


    At this moment, not only did Huayang Heavy Industries have to provide materials for Wu Mo, but many other manufacturers also had to keep up with the pace.


    Time was of the essence. Wu Mo knew that every second was crucial. He had toplete the production of his first war mech in a very short time.


    The birth of mechs was only the beginning. They still needed to be perfected in the future. Otherwise, when facing sea monsters on the battlefield, it was very likely that an awkward situation would ur.


    The battle mech was fundamentally different from the Biological Regeneration Agent. It had to constantly find problems in the battle with the sea monsters and improve itself.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    The engineers and technical workers worked together to perform their duties and install the modules.


    Huayang Heavy Industries strictly followed Wu Mo''s requirements to produce the shell materials. The uracy was extremely high, and the quality was alsopletely up to standard.


    This project involved national security, and neither Huayang Heavy Industries nor the old chief dared to take it lightly.


    Huayang Heavy Industries went all out. In just a few days, the hard shell had arrived at the port of Shen Gang.


    These huge shells needed to be transported byrge trucks, making the pedestrians in the city dumbfounded.


    It was hard for them to imagine what these shells would be used for. Even veteran military fans could not figure it out.


    After a week of intense construction, engineers and technicians hadpleted about one-third of the shell instation.


    The legs and head of the mech gradually took shape. It was like a human-shaped steel beast.


    All the participants were surprised and thought, ''What exactly does Chief Engineer Wu want to build?''


    However, at this moment, curiosity was useless. They had toplete the task given by Wu Mo as soon as possible.


    At the same time, Wu Mo handed over the model and fixed panel to the engineers and technicians before he devoted himself to the research of control technology.


    The control technology of the war mech required arge number of extremely stable electronic integrated boards.


    This stability even surpassed the world''s top luxury cars because it had to respond to all kinds of attacks from sea monsters in an instant, ensuring thatmands were transmitted remotely and responding quickly.


    At this critical moment, even if they developed a war mech that wasrger than the sea monster, if they could not deal with the sea monster''s attack in time, they might be aughing stock.


    Fortunately, with the help of the system, Wu Mo quicklypleted the design of the central controlmand system.


    Thismand system could not only carry out all kinds of temporary reactions, but it also had a fully automated intelligent detection function that could feedback information from the front at any time.


    To a certain extent, it could even make independent judgments and rece the human brain to make the most reasonable decisions!


    By the time Wu Mo was done with his work, the engineers and technicians had alreadypleted about 80% of the mech''s outer shell.


    At this moment, everyone was aware of the behemoth they had created.


    They raised their heads to look at the huge steel monster and sucked in a breath of cold air.


    "Heavens, isn''t this the embryonic form of that humanoid sea monster?" an engineer could not help but exim.


    This steel beast was like a sea monster, its muscr lines giving people a strong sense of power and visual impact.


    Everyone felt that this design was full of creativity andbined with sci-fi elements, just like the mech monsters in the movies.


    The appearance of such a huge mech in reality shocked them.


    A technician could not help but ask Wu Mo curiously, "Chief Engineer Wu, where did this inspiratione from?"


    "This mech is actually based on the Sea Monster King," Wu Mo exined. "It mimics the human form, and each joint uses the most scientific method of exerting force to ensure the most effective attack."


    After saying that, he handed them a blueprint. On it were the parts assembly drawings and renderings of theter stages of the mech.


    Every engineer and technician was shocked by this design and praised it.


    "For such a huge mech to perfectly simte every detail of a human, it is difficult. I didn''t expect you to use so many parts cleverly, Chief Engineer Wu. I''m really impressed!"


    They guessed that after this mech was invented, it would definitely cause a sensation throughout the world.


    At this critical moment, the engineers and technical workers quickened their pace and prepared to sprint with all their might toplete the assembly of the remaining modules.

 Chapter 506 Battle Mech Zero

    Two dayster, at the seaside base, a huge mech that was more than sixty meters tall finally revealed its true appearance.


    This mech stood with iparable dignity. Its two feetnded on the deep seabed, so only half of its body was revealed. It was as if a god had descended to the mortal world, and people were in awe.


    Its body was full of strength and muscle lines. Its arms were thick and powerful, and its five fingers were like sharp des that shone with a chilling light.


    It wore a thick helmet on its head, and its two eyes emitted a dark green light that flickered continuously. This indicated itsbat level and state.


    Upon closer inspection, one would discover that the mech giant had many hidden mechanisms, including a secret chamber and firing device. They were all hidden in corners that were not visible.


    They could trigger the mech''s different battle forms, and they were protected by thickyers to prevent idental injuries.


    Even if these devices were destroyed, the core control device inside the mech could still ensure that it was always in the best state to receive remote feedback.


    Looking at this mech, the engineers and technical workers were filled with pride.


    Although the internal core of the mech had been developed by Wu Mo alone, the construction of the external model had been a result of their hard work.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, this is simply the greatest invention of the century! There''s nothing like it!" an engineer said excitedly.


    He suddenly thought of the floating shuttle and the dragon control device, and he frowned.


    When these inventions were put together, it was difficult to determine the winner. However, one thing was certain: This mech was definitely one of the strongest inventions.


    Wu Mo nodded, his eyes showing satisfaction.


    The design of the mech in his mind was more than ny-nine percent urate.


    Although it was not perfect, he was very satisfied.


    Next was the exciting test segment.


    The external and internal structure of the mech seemed fine.


    However, what was truly exciting was whether this mech would be as perfect as Wu Mo had imagined when it was operating at full power.


    Wu Mo and a group of engineers sat nervously in themand room as they stared at the screen.


    At this moment, themand room was about five hundred meters away from where the mech was standing. This was only the initial testing distance.


    In theter stages of actualbat, the distance would be increased by at least a thousand meters for safety.


    Within a kilometer, the high-density ray device could provide cover fire. If the distance was too close, it would be easy for the monsters to destroy it.


    At this moment, everyone''s eyes were focused on Wu Mo, and they were filled with anticipation.


    Wu Mo took a deep breath and gently pressed the start button.


    Thump! A crisp sound rang out, and the huge mech seemed to wake up. The sound of wheels and bearings turning rang out.


    Creak! Creak!


    The mech''s arm slowly rose up toward the sky, and it looked like the mech was holding the sky with one arm.


    "Haha, we''ve seeded! As expected, it''s operating normally!" An engineer could not help butugh excitedly.


    However, Wu Mo reminded him, "It''s too early to celebrate. We have to conduct a full range of movement tests on this mech to ensure that there are no mistakes in any of its movements. This is because once a certain action fails, it''ll likely cause the entire system to be paralyzed at a critical moment. We need to eliminate all hidden dangers in the early stages to ensure that the fault tolerance rate is one hundred percent."


    Following that, the huge mech waved its other arm and raise both arms into the sky. It looked invincible.


    Following that, the mech disyed various poses.


    It raised one of its legs and stomped it hard into the sea.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Then, it waved its fists forward in a series and formed a fastbination of punches.


    After that, the mech quickly retreated again and did a few sprints.


    In this all-rounded test, the mech disyed astonishing flexibility and formidable strength.


    Like a surge of boiling blood, this huge fellow was undoubtedly the perfect embodiment ofbat!


    After a long and intense one-hour test, the final conclusion was that this giant mech could achieve jaw-dropping perfection in every movement they had designed.


    Right then, Wu Mo said excitedly, "Everyone, your hard work during this period of time has been fruitful. The performance of this mech has exceeded our expectations. I''ll ask the old chief to credit everyone for this!"


    All the engineers and technical workers were grinning from ear to ear. They were proud that they had participated in the construction of mankind''s first mech. This one-time sess made everyone feel unprecedented joy.


    They were also secretly looking forward to whether such a mech could resist those terrifying sea monsters in actualbat.


    All of this would only be known when it enter a real battlefield.


    At this moment, the news spread out. The old chief was the first to learn about this matter, and he quickly rushed to the port base of Shen Gang.


    When he saw this steel giant with his own eyes, he was also amazed.


    "This powerful battle mech isparable to the god of war in ancient mythology. The majestic image of this mech undoubtedly symbolizes China''s determination to never give up and march forward bravely!"


    The old chief was extremely excited. He realized that the birth of this mech marked an important turning point in the battle against the sea monsters.


    From then on, humans would no longer be as passive as before. Instead, they would be able to take the initiative andpletely trample those sea monsters under their feet.


    "Sea monsters, you were arrogant in the past. Now that our mechs are on the stage, you''ll know how powerful we are!" an officer could not help but mutter excitedly.


    After that, the old chief solemnly announced that he would give this mech a name and hold a grand debut ceremony for it.


    At that time, it would be broadcast live so that all the people in China and even the world could witness its power!


    Now, the old chief''s naming ability was put to a severe test.


    Everyone gathered together and frowned. They were deep in thought. What should they name this new mech?


    The name had to be filled with meaning. It did not need to be shy, but it had to represent the expectations and hopes of the Chinese people for this mech.


    As the person who personally developed this war mech, Wu Mo was pretty much the father of the mech.


    He was present, but since the old chief was there to name the name, Wu Mo naturally had no say in it.


    The old chief contemted for a moment and slowly said, "It represents the fire of hope, and we''re also at ground zero, where China and the entire human race has been fighting against the sea monsters."


    Zero?


    Wu Mo repeated those two sybles, and his eyes gradually lit up.


    The name seemed ordinary, but it had a unique vor when examined carefully.


    Zero represented the beginning. As the humans'' first war mech, this name was too apt.


    "Good! Not bad, Zero is indeed very suitable. This mech is a new beginning for all of China and humanity!" an officer could not help but praise.


    Hence, this mech was officially named Zero, and Zero''s debut ceremony would be held soon.


    Once the media broadcast this news, it caused a sensation!

 Chapter 507 Zeros First Battle

    "Heavens, a mech? Aren''t war mechs from science fiction movies?"


    "Yeah, this is a dream! It''s unbelievable that we''re going to see such a magnificent thing in reality!"


    "I can''t wait to see what this war mech looks like. Is it exactly the same as the mechs in the movies?!"


    The Inte was in an uproar as people started to guess what Zero looked like.


    The people could not suppress their curiosity because Zero had yet to be revealed. They began to visualize its appearance based on their own imaginations.


    "Oh, my God, there are still three days left until Battle Mech Zero''s debut ceremony? When the timees, I''ll definitely make sure I''m on time to see what Zero looks like!"


    Three dayster, Zero''s grand debut ceremony was held at the harbor of thergest city on the southeastern coast.


    They chose the harbor as their location to tell the sea monsters that their nemesis had arrived!


    With Battle Mech Zero, humans would be able to venture deep into the ocean and initiate an attack on the sea monsters.


    Although it was a first-generation mech, Zero''s performance was already superb.


    Wu Mo had achieved his original vision in terms of Zero''s design.


    It had the ability to travel far and reach fifty thousand nautical miles deep.


    All the sea monsters within Zero''s range would feel its power.


    Media reporters gathered and surrounded the scene of the debut ceremony.


    A group of spectators were also fortunate enough to be present to admire Zero''s magnificence up close.


    In the high stands, a huge object was hidden under a red cloth. It seemed mysterious and unfathomable.


    The military had everything under control. Many military officers, along with the old chief, Wu Mo, and the others sat in the VIP seats.


    Some celebratory shots were fired into the air, and Zero''s entrance ceremony officially began!


    After that, an officer gave a speech to announce that humans had their own battle mech now. It wouldpletely change their battle with the sea monsters as they could y a more active role.


    Then, the most exciting moment finally arrived.


    "Hurry up!! It''s about to be unveiled. We really want to see what Zero looks like!"


    The people could not help but feel excited and eager.


    The red cloth was slowly lifted, and everyone stared at Zero''s every detail.


    A huge battle mech appeared. Its orange body was wrapped in fiery patterns. Its majestic form flickered with a cold light as it slowly materialized before everyone.


    Wow!


    The red cloth fellpletely, and the thousands of people present collectively gasped!


    At the same time, millions of viewers watching the ceremony''s live stream beganmenting in a frenzy.


    "Oh, my God, it''s cool! It''s so cool!"


    "Whoa, isn''t this like a battle mecha from a science fiction movie? It''s a perfect replica!"


    "Wow, as expected of Zero!"


    People discussed Zero''s domineering appearance during this exciting moment.


    The fiery patternsplemented its cool appearance, and people gasp in amazement.


    Some noticed that Zero had many hidden traps.


    Zero was like a ray of hope, and everyone''s confidence in fighting the sea monster increased.


    All the countries around the world were broadcasting Zero''s debut ceremony. At this moment, the entire world was shocked and burning with excitement!


    As the mech''s "father," Wu Mo naturally had to go on stage to give a speech.


    He walked up to the stands with thunderous apuse.


    "The era of the sea monsters has arrived," Wu Mo said slowly. "We humans have been on the defensive. Therefore, I conceived and designed this battle mech so that we can go on the offensive."


    After he finished speaking, he looked down. Everyone was listening attentively to his speech.


    Wu Mo continued, "Zero is only the first generation. There will be other battle mechsing soon. Believe me, the future machines will be stronger and more diverse with Zero as the foundation!"


    Hearing Wu Mo''s words, everybody was once again filled with yearning and anticipation.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    What would a mech stronger than Zero look like? When the time came, would they not be able topletely destroy the sea monsters?


    Right then, a reporter could not help but stand up and ask, "Chief Engineer Wu, can Battle Mech Zero walk into the sea and find those sea monsters unprompted?"


    It was a crucial question. This was what they meant by taking on a more active role.


    Wu Mo nodded with certainty, and they were all extremely excited.


    "Battle Mech Zero''s territory covers fifty thousand nautical miles. It cane and go freely within this range. There''s no need to worry about energy consumption," he said slowly.


    What?


    Fifty thousand nautical miles?


    Their hearts trembled!


    The old chief and other generals were hearing about this the first time too. They were shocked.


    Besides, many cruisers could not reach fifty thousand nautical miles!


    Only a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier could freely cruise that far.


    It was simply unbelievable that Battle Mech Zero could go that far!


    Wu Mo continued, "Zero can initiate attacks within fifty thousand nautical miles. There''s no need to doubt itsbat ability."


    The worry in everyone''s hearts dissipated, and any doubt they had about itsbat strength disappeared.


    Zero''s imposing appearance indicated its physical strength. It also had many powerful weapons hidden on its body.


    Once activated, it would transform into a new form of ughtering machine.


    Who would doubt thebat ability of such a terrifying battle mech?


    Just then, Wu Mo announced a shocking piece of news.


    Zero would choose a suitable time for its debut. Once it discovered a sea monster, they would broadcast the footage as Zero killed the sea monster!


    Hearing this news, everyone was instantly thrilled, and they discussed it animatedly.


    "Oh, my God, I''m looking forward to the live broadcast of the sea monster''s death!"


    Everyone was so eager to see it that they wished a sea monster would appear before them right now.


    Just then, a shocking piece of news came from the front line.


    There were violent infrared fluctuations under the water about three thousand meters away from the site of the ceremony.


    There was only one possibility for such a fluctuation. A huge sea monster was about to arrive, and it was at least two hundred meters long!


    "Oh, a sea monster that''s a few hundred meters long has appeared again?"


    When Wu Mo and the others heard this news, they were surprised too.


    They did not expect this sea monster to be so bold to approach a ce where so many humans were armed.


    "Everyone, there''s a perfect opportunity before us. I have decided that this will be Battle Mech Zero''s first battle!"


    What?


    A battle, right now?


    In an instant, those watching the live stream went into an uproar!


    Everyone''s eyes were wide open. They threw everything they were doing aside and stared at the screen.


    What would Battle Mech Zero''s first stance be in its first battle against a sea monster that harmed mankind?


    The old chief and the other officers were astonished.


    They never nned for this to be Battle Mech Zero''s debut performance.


    However, since Wu Mo had dered it, they had to respect his will as its creator.


    After all, Wu Mo knew the mech''s performance like the back of his hand. If he was that confident, then victory had to be in their grasp.


    At this point, the huge sea monster was already just three kilometers away from them. If they allowed Zero to kill it, the world would see its charm and see that it could be the guardian of mankind!

 Chapter 508 Defeating The Sea Monster

    Wu Mo gave his orders decisively, and Battle Mech Zero instantly burst into life.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Zero''s two huge arms rose up high, and everyone eximed in surprise as a result!


    "It''s moving! Look, it''s moving¡­"


    Everyone was so excited that tears welled up in their eyes. It was as if they could foresee that they were about to witness an epic scene.


    Then, Zero strode forward.


    Countless viewers were in awe. Although this was only the first step in the mech''s development, it was the greatest step in the history of human civilization and its resistance against sea monsters.


    This was a step with a meaningful breakthrough!


    From now on, humans would no longer be controlled by the sea monsters lurking in the depths of the sea. They would no longer remain silent and allow themselves to be beaten up. Instead, they would take the initiative to attack these shameless monsters.


    These sea monsters attacked human ports and ships at sea, causing huge losses to human society.


    Now, Zero would carry the hope of all mankind and begin to conquer these sea monsters. It would exact revenge for the pain that had been inflicted on them for a long time!


    Rumble...


    Battle Mech Zero gradually moved out into the ocean as it took one step after another.


    At this moment, everyone was shocked.


    Although there had been mechs before, the current battle mech was very different from the previous ones!


    It was a true battle mech, a giant killing machine that could trulypete with the sea monsters.


    Right then, everyone began to calm down because everything happened so fast that they had no time to get excited.


    Their eyes were fixed on Wu Mo as they were eager to find out what kind of attack Zero had.


    An officer took advantage of the crowd''s attention and whispered, "Wu Mo, what is Zero''s actual attack power?"


    The officer was incredibly curious. After all, the army had never deployed such a huge mech to hunt a real sea monster.


    Wu Mo gazed at the sea and pondered for a moment before he replied, "Zero''s offensive tactics are diverse. It''s hard to describe them at the moment. You just need to wait and see."


    It had so many attacks that he could not list them one by one?


    The officer was taken aback. This told him that Zero''s had a huge arsenal of attacks that were difficult to describe.


    Meanwhile, thousands of meters deep, the monster slowly made its way across the sea.


    It resembled a huge wolfhound, as it was covered in blood-red fur and its two narrow eyes flickered with killing intent.


    Its sharp ws were like the des of a huge wind turbine that could easily cut down a building!


    The sea monster was now not far from the shore, but Battle Mech Zero arrived just in time!


    Both parties moved toward the center and soon met.


    "Look! Battle Mech Zero has encountered the sea monster!"


    "Heavens! The most exciting moment is finally here! I can''t wait!"


    "Zero is awesome! Even though it looks a little small before the sea monster, it still has a fearsome and an indomitable aura!"


    The livestream audience never expected to witness such a scene with their own eyes.


    This terrifying steel behemoth was going to fight a sea monster?


    Was this not something they would only see in cartoons or science fiction movies?


    Who would have thought that a movie would turn into reality?!


    The sea monster trembled when it saw Zero.


    Its two long and narrow eyes revealed a trace of confusion, but that was instantly reced by a terrifyingly ferocious aura.


    The sea monster did not care about what kind of mech was before it. It only knew how to destroy everything in its path.


    Rawr!<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    The sea monster roared, and the ensuing waves were so strong that they crashed into Battle Mech Zero.


    It seemed like the surging waves were trying to drown Zero.


    However, at this critical moment, Zero immediately disyed astonishing agility!


    Kacha...


    Zero took a big step forward, and the loud sound of steel scraping against each other resounded through the sky.


    Immediately after, its huge figure stood proudly in the sea, like a warrior who had crossed mountains and ridges.


    Zero mmed one of its arms forward as it clenched its steel fist tightly. It was unstoppable.


    The speed of its punch was so fast that the powerful driving force pushed the mech''s axis wheels to the limit. In an instant, its speed surpassed that of a sprinter in a hundred-meter sprint.


    How could the sea monster face such a fierce attack?


    Boom!


    The sea monster instantly let out a painful howl following the heavy punch.


    It almost lost its bnce and fell into the surging waves as it retreated repeatedly.


    The sea monster finally stabilized itself and stood far away while it watched Zero warily.


    Zero had repelled the sea monster with one move. Tens of millions or even close to a hundred million livestream viewers cheered.


    "The mighty Zero! Zero is awesome!"


    "Well done, Zero!"


    At this moment, those who were at the ceremony were smiling and nodding in satisfaction.


    Zero''s debut was more than satisfactory!


    The battle had just begun, but Zero''s astonishing speed had already shown everyone that he was faster than the sea monster.


    Zero did not disappoint as the battle continued. It stepped forward, and waved its fists like a storm to form a shockingbination of punches!


    "Look! Zero''s delivering abination punch. Isn''t that a boxing champion''s winning move?!" someone eximed.


    Right then, Zero seemed to transform from a steel behemoth into a legendary boxer in the boxing ring. It waved its fists and gradually forced the enemy into a desperate situation until it was on the verge of death.


    As the father of mechs, Mo Wu felt an endless sense of pride when he saw Zero use these fist techniques.


    He had used up a lot of brain power to design these fist techniques.


    Now, his efforts had paid off.


    The audience was intoxicated. They praised it endlessly and eximed repeatedly!


    "Oh, my God, these techniques perfectly disy the style of a boxer and bring out the art of boxing to the extreme!" areporter could not help but exim.


    He had interviewed famous boxers from all over the world, and he was the most qualified to evaluate boxing techniques. He was full of praise for Zero''s performance.


    After all, the steel mech was not made of flesh and blood. It seemed almost impossible to unleash the essence of such fist techniques to the extreme.


    However, Zero had done it!


    Wu Mo was undoubtedly a genius. He had integrated these fist techniques into the steel mech. He had made the joints of the mech''s arms soplex that it could perform smoothly and naturally.


    In the distance, Battle Mech Zero looked like a ferocious tiger descending from the mountain as it pushed the monster back with its fists.


    The wolfhound monster finally could not take it anymore. How could it tolerate being humiliated by this steel giant?


    It suddenly stopped and let out a heart-wrenching roar!


    Boom!


    It opened its huge mouth and spewed foul-smelling blood, which swept over like a terrible flood.


    This sea monster was obviously not as intelligent as other sea monsters, let alone the legendary Sea Monster King!


    It mistook Zero for an undersea vessel driven by humans, and the foul smell that came out of its mouth was actually poisonous.

 Chapter 509 Victory In The First Battle

    Ordinary marine creatures would undoubtedly die if they came into contact with this poisonous gas.


    However, to Battle Mech Zero, this poison was nothing. It could not even corrode the mech''s iparably hard outer shell.


    At this moment, the Technical Department of Huayang Heavy Industries was extremely satisfied. The mech''s shell remained intact under the sea monster''s stormy attack, which proved that their work was not sloppy.


    The sea monster was stunned. It had been confident in its attack, but unexpectedly, the behemoth did not even take half a step back.


    Its long and narrow eyes were filled with confusion.


    However, Zero did not give it a chance to think.


    All of a sudden, its arm extended by several dozen meters like lightning, and everyone present eximed.


    "What exactly is happening?!"


    In an instant, everyone was dumbfounded. Zero''s hand seemed to travel through time and space before he grabbed the sea monster''s neck.


    "It''s unbelievable that its enormous steel mechanical arms have built-in springs and a locking device. It''s impossible for an ordinary person toe up with such aplicated structure!" an engineering expert from the Technical Department could not help but exim.


    Even the world''s top luxury car manufacturers could not guarantee that their cars would remain intact after an ident.


    At this moment, Zero''s amazing attack style made everyone recognize Wu Mo''s endless creativity and courage in design.


    This move was indeed effective. The sea monster never expected the steel giant before it to stretch its arms and instantly close the distance between them.


    It struggled with all its might, and its sharp ws danced wildly all over Battle Mech Zero''s shell. Dazzling sparks were created when they collided!


    Its razor-sharp ws would have torn an ordinary underwater creature into pieces!


    However, its sharp ws were unable to break the hard shell that covered Zero''s arm. It only left some scratches on it.


    Besides, most of the scratches only ruined the orange paint of the me patterns. The inneryer of steel was not damaged at all!


    Suddenly, Wu Mo issued a soul-stirringmand¡ªKill!


    The so-called killmand directed Battle Mech Zero to deliver a fatal blow through the remote control system.


    Usually, the military would subdue the sea monster first and let it exhaust its ultimate skill before using their own ultimate skill to ensure that nothing would go wrong.


    At the moment of the final blow, everyone looked into the distance. They could only see Zero''s actions through binocrs and remote surveince projections!


    Zero twisted its arm gently, and the sea monster''s neck twisted along with it.


    Its shrieks grew increasingly intense, like a pig that was about to be ughtered. It struggled and screamed with all its might!


    Suddenly, Zero opened its other hand. The steel modules on the surface of its palm flipped over and revealed a sharp de!


    "What is that? There''s such a huge de hidden in its palm?"


    Everyone was stunned. There were hidden weapons all over Zero''s body.


    Zero swung the de and shed the sea monster''s head!


    Kacha!


    A crisp sound rang out. Everyone''s eyes widened as they noticed how sharp the de was and that it flickered with a cold light.


    In an instant, the sea monster''s neck and bones were severed!


    Its huge head fell into the sea, and blood spurted out from its neck.


    Its blood flowed into the sea like a river and dyed the surrounding sea bright red.


    As the sun set, the magnificent scene was engraved in the depths of everyone''s hearts.


    The humans'' mech had beheaded a sea monster before the entire world.


    The sea monster had been in a sorry state throughout the entire battle, and it had failed tounch a counterattack.


    "Battle Mech Zero lives up to its name. It is humanity''s hope!"


    A ny-year-old veteran was so excited that he cried and wiped the corners of his eyes.


    Wu Mo then ordered Zero to retreat to the coast.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    He was sharp enough to notice that although Zero''s debut seemed perfect, it had actually reached its limit.


    Wu Mo had heard a faint noise from Zero''s swing.


    As its creator, he understood how critical the issue was.


    One of Zero''s arms had probably reached its limit, and it might be leaking oil as well as lubricant.


    This would not cause Zero to copse in battle, but it would need to be repaired after the battle.


    Zero followed his order and returned.


    Wu Mo examined the mech, and a crazy thought crept into his mind.


    If he could design a system that could perfectly integrate a human and mech''s central nervous system through "smart" control, he could achieve human-machine integration.


    Nowadays, one could control appliances in smart homes with just a word.


    If he could take it a step further, he could operate a highly-sensitive integrated control panel with his mind. He would be able to operate a mech with just a word, touch, breath, and look!


    Imagine this bing a reality. A person sitting in a control room in the chest of the mech, protected by an indestructibleyer.


    He could also control the system to make his own attack movements and allow the mech to imitate his own movements. He could feel the exhration and shock of defeating a sea monster!


    The greatest benefit was not only the experience of stimtion but also the ability to quickly issue the most appropriate instructions in battle. This would eliminate any dys.


    No matter how easy long-range control was, it was not satisfying enough.


    When facing those freakish sea monsters, especially the ones that were fast and agile, current control methods often could not keep up with them.


    Battle Mech Zero''s return to the port was met with a wave of cheers!


    The people''s eyes were filled with joy and excitement. Some emotional ones even shed tears.


    An old manforted his grandson, "Don''t cry. Battle Mech Zero is China''s guardian. We should be happy!"


    Right then, a touching scene unfolded: A huge battle mech with fiery patterns on its body was covered in the blood of a sea monster as it advanced toward the humans.


    Many were on the verge of tears!


    Battle Mech Zero hadpleted its debut perfectly. After the ceremony ended, the venue was sealed off.


    The old chief suggested building a giant tent for Zero.


    "Yes, Chief!" Wu Mo nodded. "A shelter is required. Mech Zero can sit and stand inside."


    Following that, Battle Mech Zero moved into a sitting posture.


    Creak... Creak!


    With that, the mech slowly sat down in front of everyone. It was amazing!


    "Oh, my God! How many parts are there in Zero? Even with so many partsbined, it''s not getting stuck!" an engineer eximed.


    Although the past few days had been a roller coaster ride, they were still deeply shocked every time they witnessed Zero''s actions!


    Those who missed it would never know how it felt.


    This showed the difference between an "insider" and "outsider."


    Battle Mech Zero''s debut shocked the world, and a short three-minute video of it exploded on the Inte!


    The scene of Zero grabbing the sea monster''s neck with one hand and cutting off its head with the other hand was especially sensational!


    Major fashion magazines, science magazines, radio stations, and media outlets all published the same image on their front page.


    At this moment, no one cared about the matter of copyright vition. The focus of their attention was far from it!


    People were concerned about whether Battle Mech Zero could really shoulder the heavy responsibility of fighting the sea monsters.


    Although they had won this battle, the voices of doubt quietly spread¡­

 Chapter 510 A Greater Crisis

    Some people felt that the monster Zero fought was not incredibly strong. Besides, its intelligence was far below the average level of a sea monster.


    Its attacks just consisted of torrents, and its physical defense was equally weak.


    As the enthusiasm faded, questions about Zero began to surface!


    Wu Mo knew that most of these questions came from abroad.


    They were deliberately stirring things up in an attempt to deny Zero''s ability to fight the sea monsters.


    However, their actions were simply childish and ridiculous!


    "Hmph, how dare they question Zero? These ignorant fellows are truly fearless!"


    Wu Mo shook his head andughed at himself.


    There was no need to exin anything. Although the sea monster that Zero killed was indeed of a low level, Zero did not disy its full strength.


    It probably still had many killer moves hidden under its sleeves!


    If one looked at it from another angle, Zero did not utilize more killer moves because the sea monster never forced it into a position where it needed to do so.


    Wu Mo predicted that even if they encountered the Sea Monster King, Zero would be able to suppress it.


    However, now that the Sea Monster King army had copsed, it was much more difficult to find another Sea Monster King in the deep sea.


    Wu Mo arranged for some people to carry out maintenance on Zero regrly.


    Only with regr maintenance could Zero ensure that there were no mistakes in every mission.


    The production of the Biological Regeneration Agent had soared to a thousand bottles. This indicated that a thousand disabled people had been "reborn."


    One day, Shen Qingya called Wu Mo.


    "Wu Mo, are you busy?"


    It sounded like she had just woken up from a dream.


    Wu Mo smiled. "I''m busy working on Zero. It''s the focus of the world. I have to make Zero perfect."


    Shen Qingya sighed. She knew that Wu Mo was busy with the mech.


    Her semester break wasing up, and she was wondering where to go.


    She wanted to visit Wu Mo at the base, but she heard that it was not an easy ce to enter.


    Shen Qingya contemted for a while and decided to go back to her hometown first.


    Wu Mo said, "In that case, you should keep your parentspany first. I''ll catch up with you after I''m done here."


    "Alright, Wu Mo, it''s a deal!" Shen Qingya then hung up.


    Wu Mo sighed. Life as a researcher was always boring but busy.


    However, Battle Mech Zero was a hot topic now. The world was looking forward to its performance and paying close attention to its development.


    "Wu Mo, what are Zero''s chances of winning against a Sea Monster King?" the old chief asked.


    "Chief, I''m confident that Zero can defeat any known sea monster!" Wu Mo replied decisively.


    Although Wu Mo answered confidently, he was not sure how it would perform against other known sea monsters and terrifying monsters that had yet to appear.


    The old chief and the other officers were extremely satisfied with Wu Mo''s affirmation.


    Suddenly, there was an urgent message. Shannan was facing a crisis!


    The expressions on Wu Mo and the other officers'' faces changed drastically!


    Shannan was a transportation hub, where the sea andnd intersected. It was an important ce, but it was being surrounded by several sea monsters!


    "How''s the situation?"


    The old chief immediately went to themand center.


    The screen showed that three huge sea monsters had appeared near Shannan''s port. These sea monsters seemedpletely new and were not on the existing list of sea monsters.


    It was true that the current sea monster rankings were mainlypiled by China.


    This was because most of the powerful sea monsters discovered around the world had appeared in China, and only a few had appeared near the coasts of other countries.


    China''s sea monsters were stronger than the ones in other countries, and they were extremely powerful. They naturally took the top spots in the sea monster rankings!


    The Sea Monster King had previously topped the sea monster rankings. But it was worth mentioning that the Dual-de Sea Monster and Giant Sea Serpent were now ranked first and second respectively.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    So far, the Dual-de Sea Monster had been the most terrifying existence on the list!


    "Wait a minute, these three sea monsters are extraordinary. Look over there!" an officer immediately said.


    One of the sea monsters had the body of a human, but its arms and legs were covered in thorns.


    Its head seemed to be covered with a steel helmet that protected its core.


    Itnded a punch on the shore, and a house was instantly destroyed.


    They aimed the high-density ray weapons at its head, but to everyone''s surprise, the rays did not cause any damage. The rays only left some marks on its helmet-like shell!


    "How is this possible? This sea monster can protect its head from high-density rays?"


    Wu Mo did not expect this since the high-density rays could easily defeat known sea monsters.


    Even if they could not kill it, they should still cause serious injuries.


    Yet, this sea monster had blocked several rays in a row. It was unbelievable!


    The second sea monster was equally shocking. It resembled a fierce tiger with the word "king" carved on its forehead.


    Its huge mouth took up one-third of its face, which gave it a ferocious and terrifying look.


    Its roar stirred up strong air currents in the sky. Soo, dark clouds covered the sky, and heavy rain poured down.


    The third sea monster was a huge meatball. It had no hands or feet, just two cunning little eyes that were shining.


    It rolled slowly, and it was difficult to determine the front and back of its body!


    The three sea monsters brought about a huge sense of oppression, and Wu Mo knew that Shannan was in danger.


    It seemed that these three sea monsters had nned this beforehand. This was no small matter.


    "D*mn it!"


    "These three terrifying sea monsters have obviously been preparing for this. Judging from their positions, they have analyzed theyout of our important facilities!" an angry officer said with an unpleasant expression.


    Shannan''s core area was centered around the port. The deeper the monsters traveled along the sixty-degree slope, the more critical the situation would be.


    Two of the crafty sea monsters mped down on Shannan''s lifeline and approached it step by step.


    The third round sea monster seemed to be rolling over to take cover, but it was staring at them with its green bean-like eyes as if it was ready for a counterattack.


    Obviously, the monsters had formed a vicious joint attack and were determined to conquer Shannan!


    "They must be closely rted to each other and must havee from the same space-time node in the wormhole."


    Wu Mo could not help but specte that because they had such a tacit understanding.


    A bold idea suddenly emerged in his mind. "We could catch one of them, decipher theirnguage, and ask them about their origins... We might find the answers to manyplicated questions and gain more useful information to deal with the sea monsters in the future!"


    However, they had to hold these three sea monsters back before Battle Mech Zero arrived!


    The existing high-density ray weapons were no longer able to deal with the sea monster that wore a steel helmet. This monster and the tiger-like monster wereunching attacks from both sides, so the situation was extremely dangerous.


    Dark clouds covered the sky, and the atmosphere was tense.


    The sea monster''s rampage was apanied by a storm. It was as if the end of the world had arrived, and many people were anxious.


    Fighting in such an environment was a great test of one''s mental strength. It would be difficult to even use weapons with top-notch firepower.


    At this moment, a huge transport vehicle slowly drove over from the suburbs of Shannan.


    Someone was leading the way and escorting the vehicle to the port.


    The giant steel mech on the vehicle finally revealed itself, and shocking cheers resounded across the harbor.


    "The first-generation Battle Mech Zero is here!"


    Yes, thebat mech had finally arrived.


    News of the three sea monsters appearing in Shannan had been sent to themand center, and the emergency order had been quickly transmitted.


    The old chief immediately realized that this battle was no small matter. It might be difficult to fight this monster with conventional means and high-density ray weapons.


    The best choice would be to send Battle Mech Zero for a frontal assault andunch an attack together with the high-density rays.


    At this moment, Wu Mo could barely conceal the nervousness in his heart.

 Chapter 511 The First-Generation Mech Is Still Lacking

    Zero was supposed to face one sea monster at a time, but now it had to deal with three sea monsters simultaneously. It was dangerous, and its chances of winning were slim.


    However, no matter what, Zero had to face this battle bravely. It carried the mission of protecting Shannan.


    Wu Mo was standing on top of the tallest building in Shannan and looking ahead through his binocrs.


    Dark clouds rolled and the storm raged. At this point, the three sea monsters were only five hundred meters away. The situation was critical.


    Finally, Zero arrived at the coast. The red cloth that covered it was removed to reveal its mighty figure.


    As Zero gradually stood up, a slight sound of rotation came from its wheels andponents.


    Its heavy steps shook the earth and the hearts of everyone present.


    The people widened their eyes as they watched Zero''s back gradually fade away. Finally, it stepped into the raging sea.


    The brave Zero faced the terrifying sea monster in the storm and kept moving forward.


    This scene moved many people, while Wu Mo had mixed feelings about it.


    Zero was the result of his research, and it was like his own child.


    He felt as if he was watching his child entering the battlefield and shouldering an arduous mission while he was powerless.


    Wu Mo thought to himself, ''If we manage to develop more battle mechs or even fuse the human nervous system and mech control system, then the sea monsters will no longer be terrifying.''


    However, Zero''s birth had consumed a huge amount of resources, which led Huayang Heavy Industries to suffer heavy losses.


    If he wanted to develop more than one mech, the cost would be even more shocking.


    Zero''s appearance alerted the three sea monsters.


    However, these sea monsters were clearly smarter than the wolfhound monster from before. They immediately realized that this was a weapon of war specially designed by humans to target them!


    Roar!


    The ferocious tiger monster charged forward first and broke through the waves. Its huge ws held terrifying power and pressure.


    Zero immediately epted the challenge. Being under human control, it extended its steel arm and mmed it forward!


    Boom!


    In an instant, the tiger monster''s ws collided with Zero''s steel arm.


    Everyone stared nervously at the screen to see the oue of this battle.


    The exciting event made them forget about the passage of time.


    Even Wu Mo could not help but feel nervous. Zero was facing a real test now. Could it withstand such huge pressure?


    Zero exchanged blows with the tiger monster, and both took a few steps back.


    Zero was equipped with a counter-attack defense device. When it faced an attack that was above its level, it would automatically enter a defensive position.


    This did not require human control. Instead, it was part of a pre-set smart system!


    At this moment, Zero activated the system and spread out its arms. The mechanisms on them were like iron shields.


    Bang!


    Just then, a ckser shot over from afar. It came from the round meatball.


    However, theser beam hit Zero''s iron shields, so it was useless.


    "Ah!" the people who witnessed this scene eximed.


    It turned out that the seemingly harmless meatball could actually release such a terrifyingser!


    Zero''s arms had many mechanisms, which caught them off guard. How many secrets did it hide?


    At this moment, the third sea monster charged toward Zero.


    It was highly intelligent. Seeing that Zero could fight two monsters at once, it understood that the three of them had to work together to destroy the human''s killing machine!


    This sea monster had a strong defense, but its attack was weak, so it only waved its ws and smashed them randomly.


    Its attack power was weaker than that of the tiger monster, so it still could not break through Zero''s defense.


    "Wu Mo, Zero has fallen into a defensive position. Is it doomed to lose this fight?"<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    The old chief could not suppress his worries as he contacted Wu Mo nervously.


    Wu Mo pondered for a short while and replied, "Chief, let''s observe the changes in the battle. As long as Zero withstands the fierce attacks from these three sea monsters, it will be able to find an opportunity to defeat them one by one!"


    "That''s true! We can only do this step by step!"


    The old chief nodded. At this juncture, there was no other way.


    They had to immediately contact the front line and deploy weapons with high-density firepower on both sides. They also had to be ready to cover Zero at any time and help it defeat the sea monster!


    Right then, the media had been cleared, so footage could not be transmitted to the audience around the world.


    However, those on the periphery could vaguely see the fierce battle between several giant shadows on the surface of the ocean. They just could not spot the details.


    Meanwhile, the local livestream viewers enjoyed a great feast for their eyes!


    Although they were hundreds of meters away, the actions and even the expressions of these behemoths were vivid.


    "Look! The tiger''s attacking again! Why is the word on its forehead even more distinct now?"


    Finally, someone noticed the strange phenomenon. The word, "king," on the tiger''s forehead was emanating a bloody aura.


    This blood-red color signified ughter and brutality. As such, an ominous feeling began to fill everyone''s hearts.


    Sure enough, the ferocious tiger monster confirmed everyone''s suspicions. It suddenly opened its mouth and bit down on Zero''s steel arm.


    Squeak squeak squeak!


    The tiger gritted its teeth and tried to bite Zero''s arm off.


    It was obvious that the force of its bite was extremely terrifying. Its teeth had a tight grip on Zero''s arm, and the sound of friction that followed the bite made Wu Mo''s expression change.


    "I don''t think so! Zero''s arm is made of a special material. It''s harder and tougher than the shell!"


    Wu Mo remembered that he had considered all possibilities when he created Zero''s arms.


    The arms were the key to a battle, and most of Zero''s ultimate skills were concentrated there. How could they be broken so easily?


    There was no doubt that the ferocious tiger monster could not bite off Zero''s arm for the time being. It revealed a confused expression in response.


    Thanks to its fearsome bite, it had been invincible in its world on the other side of the wormhole. Hence, it never thought that it would fail to bite through a steel mech in this world.


    While it was confused, Zero quickly waved its other hand. A white de tore through the air and stabbed the tiger monster''s neck.


    Roar!


    The tiger let out an earth-shattering howl, and huge waves rose on the water''s surface. They surged wildly amid its roar.


    "Hahaha, Zero is amazing! The ferocious tiger monster has been fatally injured by its attack. It''s probably on the verge of death! Zero can now defeat them one by one!" an officer could not help but shout excitedly.


    However, only Wu Mo understood that it was still too early to celebrate.


    He stared at the ferocious tiger monster and found that it did not show any signs of weakness after its neck was injured. Instead, it became more violent.


    Obviously, its weakness was not its neck, but the "mark" on its forehead.


    In other words, Zero had made an error in judgment, so it needed to retreat quickly.


    That was because the round meatball had already shot out several cksers in a row, and the humanoid sea monster with the steel helmet was rapidly approaching.


    At this moment, Zero suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a stream of reddish-orange mes.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The mes erupted out of nowhere and scared the humanoid sea monster into retreating.


    The temperature of the mes was extremely high. It was formed by burning special materials and couldst for a long time in battle. Its power should not be underestimated.


    Yet, for some reason, Wu Mo''s eyelids twitched, and he had a bad feeling about Zero''s survival.


    "This first-generation battle mech is still not perfect enough!" Wu Mo suddenly eximed.


    At this moment, he made a firm decision in his heart.


    The current battle situation had forced him to do so. He needed to develop a more powerful mech!


    He would continue to upgrade Zero''s foundation and create one super-strong mech after another. He wouldpletely conquer the sea monsters.

 Chapter 512 Mech Upgrade

    ''The path of mech development is imperative. We have to develop it as far as we can and find a way for the humans in China and the entire to survive!'' Wu Mo said in his heart.


    This was no longer the problem of a single country but a major event for all of mankind.


    The sea monsters were getting stronger with each day, and there were many types of them.


    Who knew what kind of terrifying monsters would appear in the future?


    There might even be giant beasts that could destroy the world!


    By then, it would be toote for regrets.


    Therefore, he had to immediately develop a more powerful mech topletely defeat the monsters before destroying the wormhole.


    Facing the current situation, Wu Mo only hoped that Zero could tie with the three sea monsters and force them to retreat.


    Unexpectedly, such a small wish seemed too extravagant.


    The ferocious tiger unleashed a monstrous force and mmed its huge body into Zero by pouncing on it!


    Bang bang bang!


    Zero retreated continuously and relied on the stabilizing system to keep itself from falling.


    However, the tiger was close. It bit Zero''s shoulder with its bloody mouth and dragged Zero into the deep sea.


    "Heavens! How could Zero end up like this? It''s being pushed around by the sea monster!"


    When the audience on the shore saw what happened, their faces turned pale.


    ''Get up, Zero! Defeat it!''


    Some people shouted in their hearts and wished that they could personally go into battle.


    Suddenly, Zero waved his white de and shed it at the mark on the tiger''s head!


    Themand center had analyzed it as a potential weak point.


    However, the tiger was smart, and it dodged the attack in time. The white de only managed to cut its neck.


    However, the tiger''s neck was not a weak point, and its skin was thick as well as fleshy in that area.


    After two shes, blood gushed out, but it did not end up being a fatal blow for the tiger monster.


    At this moment, the ckser beams bombarded Zero''s body like a storm, and sparks flew from the mech''s surface.


    When theser beams hit the same spot, a crack finally appeared on Zero''s hard shell.


    Then, theplicated internal mechanical system was exposed. Another ckser beam hit it hard, and sparks flew in all directions. The electric currents rolled like dragons, and it was terrifying!


    "How did this happen?!"


    When the higher-ups of Huayang Heavy Industries saw the scene, they could not help but punch the table in anger.


    "Manager, when we produced the shell, we made sure it went through many rounds of high-temperature tempering. It had to be at least 30 times. We already applied the mostplicated production method in our factory. How did it break so easily?"


    One of his subordinates was incredulous.


    However, the factory manager was relieved when he thought about it.


    After all, the sea monster''sser only created a small hole in Zero''s shell after it attacked a single point continuously.


    This proved that their materials were excellent enough. If it had been the work of other steel factories, it probably would have broken more easily.


    At this moment, the mech''s internal systems were damaged, so its control became sluggish.


    Wu Mo immediately activated the smart mode.


    From now on, Mech Zero would be able to make decisions on its own to a certain extent. It would be able to respond to the situation before it in a timely manner.


    Bang bang bang!


    With that, the smart chip in Mech Zero''s body came into y. It knew that it had to defeat the ferocious tiger monster to deal with the spherical sea monster and humanoid sea monster with the steel helmet.


    However, the ferocious tiger monster was difficult to deal with. The spherical sea monster kept shootingsers, while the humanoid sea monster with the steel helmet cleverly shielded itspanions from the high-density ray weapons.


    Finally, Zero could not take the pressure anymore. Sparks flew everywhere, and its movements became slower.


    "Oh, no! Terminate smart mode immediately and order Zero to retreat!"<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Wu Mo''s eyes shed with panic as he issued an urgent order.


    Those in themand room were so shocked by this sudden order that their hearts started to beat faster. They promptly did as they were told.


    Zero''s automatic smart mode was interrupted, and after it received the order, itunched a final counterattack.


    Like a gecko abandoning its tail to survive, Zero broke free by decisively cutting off the part of its body that was being attacked.


    After that, it struggled back toward the shore.


    This tragic scene made everyone tear up.


    Zero had done everything it could. Even though it was defeated, it used thest of its strength on the battlefield.


    Suffering serious damage, it resolutely abandoned a part of itself and rushed to the shore with difficulty.


    As for the three sea monsters, their eyes were filled with conflict and hatred.


    They chased after Zero with some hesitance, and in the end, they stopped their pursuit. Instead, they let out strange cries and created a tsunami before disappearing into the deep sea.


    Zero finally reached the shore. Its body was severely damaged, and it could no longer move.


    Emergency repairs were required.


    "Quick, clear the area! Call more people over and fix Zero up immediately!"


    Wu Mo arrived on the scene and looked at Zero''s miserable state. His heart ached.


    "Sigh, Zero''s been very brave. Unfortunately, those three sea monsters were too ferocious. It''s no surprise that Zero didn''t win."


    An officer walked over and patted Wu Mo on the shoulder to console him.


    Being the mech''s "father," Wu Mo was devastated. When others saw this, their hearts ached for him.


    But who could me him?


    He had already offered a powerful weapon of war to all mankind¡ªZero.


    It was impossible to find another such talent in the world.


    Zero''s performance was outstanding during its first appearance, which made all of humanity exim in admiration.


    Zero descended like a ferocious tiger. It easily defeated the sea monster with a swing of its de.


    This spectacr scene was deeply imprinted in everyone''s hearts and would not disappear for a long time.


    However, in the face of the three sea monsters that were as violent as a storm, Battle Mech Zero had no choice but to ept the almost impossible challenge. Moreover, the strength of each of them was not to be underestimated!


    In this grim battle, Zero managed to tie with the three sea monsters and sessfully escaped back to the shore.


    Although people were satisfied with this, Wu Mo still felt regretful that he couldn''t wipe out all the sea monsters.


    However, Wu Mo did not give up.


    From Zero''s battle, he had learned a lot of valuable experience. He was determined to make his future mech more perfect and sharper, so that the sea monsters would not be able to resist it.


    He thought to himself, ''Just you wait, the next generation of mech will definitely show you the true weapons of war!''


    The invasion of sea monsters had never stopped. Powerful sea monsters appeared in the seas all over the world.


    The fierce tiger sea monster rose to the top of the sea monster rankings, while the original overlord, the double bone saber sea monster, was pushed to eighth ce.


    The reason why the ferocious tiger monster became famous was undoubtedly because of its terrifying aura during its battle with Zero.


    This also proved that the fellow who could fight Zero was definitely something that other sea monsters could not hope to achieve.


    This was also the affirmation of the sea monster research center and the global research experts on Zero.


    However, right now, the focus of attention was on Zero, who was lying quietly in the recovery center.


    Many of itsponents had been damaged, and the repair work was arduous andplicated.


    The loss of original parts could lead to a dy of a millimeter in battle, which could have fatal consequences.


    However, Wu Mo continued to work tirelessly on the restoration, working together with arge number of researchers and engineers.


    Everyone was extremely busy, but they had noints. This was because the first-generation battle mech had be a symbol of gratitude in their hearts.

 Chapter 513 The God Of Battle Mechs

    The first-generation mech had participated in two battles with astonishing results.


    In the first battle, Zero had killed his opponent in an instant. It was earth-shattering!


    In the second battle, Zero also performed well, bravely resisting the fierce attacks of the three sea monsters.


    Although this huge steel mech had no human emotions, it gave humans the confidence to protect their homnd. It was precisely this that made people feel safe.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, this module seems to be damaged, and the steel shell here has been prated!"


    An engineer frowned.


    The steel shell that had been pierced through was caused by the round sea monster''s repeated ckser attacks in that battle.


    Although there was only a small hole, the surrounding materials were intact, which was enough to prove the quality of the steel.


    "Huayang Heavy Industries is indeed worthy of its reputation. The quality of their materials is still top-notch!" Wu Mo praised.


    He believed that the future mech materials should also be produced by Huayang Heavy Industries.


    However, as the demand for mecha increased, the pressure on production might be too great.


    Wu Mo thought that he could work together with several steel factories in the country to reduce the pressure and increase production capacity.


    Of course, this had to be discussed with the old chief.


    After the first-generation mech, Zero, was repaired, it was tested without almost no dys. It was a perfect repair.


    This was the brand-new Zero that Wu Mo had done his best to create.


    However, Wu Mo was nning to develop a more powerful and upgraded version of the mech, so Zero would not fight again for the time being.


    At this time, Wu Mo checked the poprity of the agent and found that the regeneration agent had reached a saturation point in the country.


    Life First and Life Second were suitable for everyone, while the Biological Regeneration Agent was only suitable for disabled people.


    Even so, Wu Mo was quite satisfied with the poprity of the three potions.


    Looking at the full harvest, Wu Mo could not help but be stunned. This was an unexpected surprise!


    This huge harvest brought him iparable confidence and confidence, making him more confident in dealing with future battles.


    When developing more powerful mech, Wu Mo knew that to make full use of all kinds of resources, bnce was the key.


    In the sonorous steel, the fluctuation of a certain resource could bring a huge improvement to a certain part of the mech.


    However, what followed was the excessive concentration of resources, which resulted in a tiny but fatal w in the mech.


    Imagine, if they were to face another fierce battle with a sea monster, a certain part of the mech''s body would probably be the first to bear the brunt.


    Wu Mo could not bear to see such a situation happen again. He had to make his mech more perfect so that he could develop a more advanced battle mech.


    Therefore, he embarked on a long and arduous road of research and development.


    In a slow and delicate process, Wu Mo upgraded the mech''s core control system to an advanced version thatbined all kinds ofplex control techniques.


    On a small crystal panel, there were five trillion key information points!


    The information control points on these crystals could be summarized and transmitted in reverse, allowing all kinds of information to flow freely without any dy error.


    This result allowed the central control panel to be built into the mech''s core and the mech''s movement speed and various movementmands to be executed without any dy.


    At least from the visual effects, this mech was perfect!


    However, Wu Mo still felt a little regretful.


    He had tried his best, but he realized that the human mind and spirit were temporarily unable to merge perfectly with the mech''s control system.


    In other words, humans had yet to reach the realm of controlling the entire machine with their minds and achieving the integration of human and machine.


    Even so, Wu Mo still saw hope.


    He decided to make this step a reality when the drug became popr all over the world.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Before that, he had to ensure that all the people in China were protected by the drug before taking this huge step.


    When the entire was bathed in Wu Mo''s grace, they would be deeply grateful and provide him with strong support!


    At that time, Wu Mo would be able to do more things and unlock more achievements¡­


    Not only was it the realm of human-machine integration, but it also included controble nuclear fusion, dark matter, and even antimatter that the little girl had hoped to achieve!


    These were all attempts to explore the vast outer space and would be the key direction of Wu Mo''s future research and development!


    Finally, a new generation of mech was born. The military intended to publicize it, and many media reporters swarmed over.


    They fought to report on this mech and frantically took photos and videos to attract the attention of the public!


    The passionate mech craze swept through once again. The media imed that the new mech would correct the regrets of the first generation Zero!


    This mech was built by Chief Engineer Wu, the father of mechs. What he was proud of was the synchronized actionmands without dy!


    It was all thanks to the superior crystal chip in the mech''s core that projected a realistic miniature world. The mech was like a living creature within it.


    Although the media''s description was confusing, the public did not need to delve into it. They only needed to know: The strongest mech had arrived!


    He was about to witness the birth of this Battle God, surpass Zero, and truly shoulder the sacred mission of fighting against the sea monsters.


    On the high tform, Wu Mo, the officers, and the engineers looked down at the huge disc below.


    A rising mech stood there, mighty and unmoving!


    Its huge body surpassed Zero and was nearly a hundred meters tall. A huge red cloth, which acted as its battle robe, fluttered in the wind and gave it a heroic look.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, what do you think about naming this mech?" asked an officer cautiously.


    Wu Mo pondered for a moment. It was supposed to surpass Zero and be the God of War. He would ride the sea and ughter sea monsters!


    This mech was fused with many battle elements. It was powerful and had endless means. Its lethality was shocking.


    In the end, Wu Mo firmly said, "Let''s call it Battle God!"


    Battle God¡­


    Everyone savored the name. It was simple and direct, yet it was full of power, perfectly demonstrating the characteristics of the mech.


    Such a mech had unparalleledbat power. Battle God was the perfect fit!


    "Alright, Battle God it is! When it steps into the sea, the sea monsters will tremble!"


    With the arrival of the highly anticipated second-generation Battle God, the entire world descended into a frenzy.


    The name, Battle God, shook everyone''s hearts. It showed the determination of the father of mechs.


    At this moment, not only were the Chinese media all present, but the world''s most influential big-name media also gathered there.


    After all, this was the upgraded version of the Battle God''s debut ceremony!


    Who did not know that the debut ceremony of the first-generation mech, Zero, had stirred up an earth-shattering global mech craze?


    And this time, what kind of frenzy would be set off?


    The old chief was there in person, apanied by Wu Mo and a group of strong officers. The appearance of the highest level of the military meant that the importance of Battle God had increased.


    At Shannan''s port by the coast, the wind was howling. People stared nervously and excitedly at the battle-sleeved mech. They were so excited that they were speechless.


    "Look! That''s Battle God! It''s the upgraded version of the mech that the father of mechs put in all his effort to create! It''s said that its power is astonishing!"


    "Yes, the name is enough to exin everything. Battle God isn''t something that ordinary mechs canpare to!"


    "Just how strong is Battle God? Can it really surpass the first-generation mech, Zero?"


    The people were discussing animatedly. Battle God''s reputation was like thunder.


    That all-purpose chip allowed it to overwhelm Mech Zero in terms ofbat power. Everyone was eager to see how Battle God would fare against the sea monsters.

 Chapter 514 The Unstoppable Battle God

    The opening ceremony finally arrived. The red cloth was slowly removed, and Battle God''s true face was revealed to everyone.


    Wow!


    Everyone''s heart beat faster, and the uncontroble shock made them exim repeatedly.


    Battle God stood tall, a hundred meters tall. It was like a giant building with more than thirty floors.


    ck and red paint covered its strong muscles and made it look like invincible war gods in science fiction movies.


    Battle God''s lines were sharp and domineering, and the dark style was full of iparable momentum.


    Its eyes were long and narrow like lightning des, piercing through its entire forehead. The pupils in its eyes flickered with a mysterious light and emitted a threatening aura.


    "My God, Battle God has so many eyes?" someone in the crowd could not help but exim.


    In fact, it only had a pair of eyes, but the dense array of pupils was daunting.


    Battle God''s entire body exuded exquisite craftsmanship and a dignified aura. No one would doubt that there were countlessplicated mechanisms and secrets hidden within it!


    Otherwise, how could Battle God surpass Mech Zero and be the god of war with the strongestbat power?


    "Chief Engineer Wu, may I ask why this mech was named Battle God?"


    The interview segment began. A reporter could not wait to question the father of mechs, Wu Mo.


    "Battle God contains a universal chip that has integrated three thousandbat techniques," Wu Mo said confidently. "It also records hundreds of millions of images of the natural world. It''s the symbol of the perfectbat avatar! Don''t worry, everyone!"


    Wu Mo''s words shocked everyone present.


    The all-purpose chip was all-epassing, like an unfathomable treasure house of knowledge?


    Then, another reporter asked a sensitive question.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, the first-generation mech, Zero, was not strong enough in the battle against the sea monster. Can Battle God surpass Zero?"


    Everyone held their breaths and waited nervously for Wu Mo''s answer.


    "I named this mech Battle God because itsbat power is not to be underestimated. In terms ofbat power, surpassing Zero is inevitable!"


    Hearing Wu Mo''s firm words, everyone finally felt relieved, especially the old chief and the group of officers. They were now full of confidence in Wu Mo.


    Since he said so, there was no need to doubt him.


    At this tense moment, everyone thought of the sea monster''s dramatic appearance during Zero''s ceremony. What would Battle God be facing?


    Such a dramatic scene would not happen again. After all, real coincidences were difficult to repeat.


    After Wu Momunicated with the old chief, he announced a shocking piece of news. "Everyone, at this moment, a sea has monster appeared in Shen Gang. It appears to be one of the three sea monsters that attacked Shannan. Now, we will guide Battle God to kill it. Please wait and see!"


    This news shocked the global media.


    Battle God''s first show was going to start with such a domineering move?


    Everyone was eagerly waiting to see Battle God''s first performance.


    However, the distance from Shannan to Shen Gang was quite far. It would take at least an hour of travel.


    Would the sea monster be atrge during this period of time?


    Battle God then disyed a stunning movement speed. It turned out that there were two sets of movement systems under its feet!


    This allowed it to reach Shen Gang in just twenty minutes.


    At this moment, the drone captured a picture. The sea monster was still running amok near the harbor, and Battle God was chasing after it.


    Battle God quickly entered battle mode. Everyone held their breaths nervously as they watched the battle.


    Would it be able to disy its divine might and kill this terrifying sea monster?


    Through the live stream, people saw the sea monster with the steel helmet.


    It brandished its sharp ws and approached Battle God ferociously.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Although it had fought with Zero before, the sea monster did not realize that Battle God was an upgraded version of Zero.


    Under the misconception that the enemy was not strong enough, the sea monster decisively charged toward Battle God.


    At this moment, themand center gave the order to kill.


    Battle God immediately began to move. The various parts on its body assembled together and disyed a series of standardized movements.


    Bang!


    Battle God leaped out like a bolt of lightning and crossed a distance of nearly a hundred meters in one step.


    Then, its arm instantly spread out like a sharp sword and shed forward!


    Crack!


    This sword was earth-shattering, and it cut off one of the sea monster''s huge ws.


    The sea monster was in hellish pain. It let out a heart-shaking shriek and retreated frantically.


    This sh was like a thunderbolt from heaven. Everyone was dumbfounded and overwhelmed with emotions!


    It was as if a white saber light had cut through the sky and stirred the seawater into magnificent waves. It prevented the sea monster from fighting back.


    "Heavens, What kind of magical saber technique is this?! It truly resembles a divine saber!"


    "That''s right! The birth of the divine saber, the might of the country! How can this sea monster block it?"


    "This sea monster is courting death! Battle God is even stronger than Zero, yet it still dares to provoke this new mech. I really admire its courage!"


    Right then, the crowd was in an uproar, and everyone''s faces were filled with joy because they knew that Battle God would definitely put this sea monster in a vulnerable position!


    As expected, the following battle was as easy as a predator hunting its prey.


    When the sea monster tried to turn around and escape, Battle God leaped out again. With two steps, it crossed two hundred meters and arrived before the sea monster in an instant!


    Then, Battle God opened up its hands like they were giant ws. It grabbed the monster''s throat tightly and pushed it into the deep abyss.


    The sea monster howled in pain and struggled to stir the seawater into huge waves, like a tsunami rarely seen in human history.


    However, Battle God''s power was too shocking. It held the sea monster firmly in ce. No matter how it struggled, it was useless.


    The sea monster struggled helplessly but was unable to escape.


    At this moment, real-time footage of Battle God was transmitted to the audience.


    Everyone held their breaths as if their lives were controlled by this mech.


    The tense atmosphere was suffocating.


    "Oh, my God, Battle God is too scary! It far surpasses Zero!"


    "That''s right. Not only has it surpassed Zero, but it has also left Zero far behind!"


    "Look at Chief Engineer Wu''s expression. Why does he look a little solemn?"


    At this moment, someone noticed Wu Mo''s expression. He did not show any joy because of Battle God''s amazing performance. Instead, he looked a little solemn.


    Why?


    Should he not be happy that he had personally created such a powerful mech?


    However, how could they know what Wu Mo was really thinking?!


    In Wu Mo''s eyes, Battle God had already met his expectations.


    Nevertheless, he knew that Battle God had many more superb skills.


    Just like how the sea monsters had theser ability, high-densityser weapons and other conventional weapons could also be integrated into Battle God''s system to make it even more indestructible.

 Chapter 515 Hidden Concern

    "After Battle God experiences its first battle, we will immediately carry out modifications and install all kinds of weapons and facilities into it!"


    Wu Mo had already made up his mind.


    Actually, everyone had misunderstood him. He was not dissatisfied with Battle God''s performance. He just saw more possibilities to make Battle God even better!


    Right then, the sea monster that was being suppressed by Battle God let out a shrill cry as it tried to escape.


    However, in the next moment, a clear voice sounded and echoed in everyone''s ears.


    Kacha!


    Battle God tore off the huge meat helmet on the sea monster''s head.


    "Gasp¡­ That''s tragic!"


    Everyone gasped as they watched blood spurt out of the sea monster''s head and shoot into the sky like a pir.


    Battle God waved its de-like arms and mercilessly split the sea monster into two!


    The corpses of the huge sea monsters on both sides floated on the blood-colored sea surface. The blood and seawater merged into one and made it impossible to distinguish between the two.


    Battle God stood proudly on the turbulent waves and appeared majestic as well as domineering.


    Someone could not help but exim, "Battle God is too strong. It alone is probably enough to fight against several Zeros!"


    The three sea monsters were terrifying, and they were known as the trio that topped the rankings.


    Although this humanoid sea monster was ranked slightly lower than the ferocious tiger monster, it was still ranked eighth. It was even two ranks higher than the Dual-saber Sea Monster!


    But now, it had been defeated by Battle God so easily?


    After sessfully killing the sea monster, it turned around and slowly approached the shore.


    At this moment, Battle God''s perfect performance had conquered everyone!


    Those who had once wondered if the monster that Zero defeated in his debut was trash were speechless.


    They could not possibly say that this armored humanoid sea monster was trash, right?


    It was ranked eighth on the sea monster list. If one called it trash, it would only indicate one thing: The group of experts in the sea monster research center were all useless, and there was no standard to their rankings!


    However, these research experts were elites from all over the world.


    Therefore, those who had expressed doubts no longer dared to speak. It was as if they had disappeared overnight.


    Before long... this set off a crazy trend of imitation mechs.


    Many countries in the world believed that they had the capital to manufacture mechs because of their powerful industrial strength.


    However, Wu Mo knew that they were wrong!


    Even the country with the best manufacturing could not possibly produce a mech with just regr industrial capabilities! Howplicated was the manufacturing of mechs?


    One should not mistake it for the production process of an art piece.


    In reality, the creation of a mech required the integration of various skills to achieve perfection.


    For example, the outer shell material needed to be produced in a smelter ording to a special form. Otherwise, it would not meet the standard no matter how hard it was.


    This was because a material that was too hard could bepletely shattered by a fierce attack from a sea monster!


    Once it cracked, it would shatter like tempered ss.


    A small hole would only be created on the shell produced by Huayang Heavy Industries when it was hit. It would not affect the surrounding area of the shell.


    Therefore, the requirements for this material werepletely different.


    Other than the outer shell material, the bearings and parts inside were all made ording to the fixed temte.


    A slight deviation, failure to install it in one ce, or an imperfect fit would cause errors in theter stages of its run.


    This could cause idents and even affect the victory or defeat of key battles.


    If even these problems were solved, what about the central control system?<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    One should know that not everyone could create a universal chip that contained billions of images of the natural world!


    Wu Mo noticed something annoying.


    Many powerful countries around the world were imitating China and trying to create mechs.


    They did not want Battle God to be as powerful as Zero.


    This way, they could at least resist the invasion of sea monsters to a certain extent, disy their national prestige, and establish their national image.


    However, after a period of hard work, one country after another was dered bankrupt following their attempts to manufacture mechs.


    At this moment, in themand center, one of the officers could not help butugh. "Hahaha, Chief Engineer Wu! Those guys thought that they could create such a powerful mech like you. They really overestimated themselves!"


    "It''s not something that can be done by a one-sided system," Wu Mo said calmly. "It is aprehensive manifestation of national strength, and it requires the cooperation of multiple departments to achieve it."


    Everyone nodded when they heard this. Was this not right?


    However, the key point was that only mechs that had been personally crafted by Wu Mo could be sessfully manufactured.


    If not for Wu Mo, who would be able to lead the construction of mechs on this grand scale?


    "Chief Engineer Wu, what do you n to do next?" an officer asked.


    "Prepare to modify the Battle God!" Wu Mo replied decisively.


    "Oh? Modify?"


    Everyone looked at Wu Mo in confusion as they wondered how he would modify this behemoth.


    Right then, in the huge factory, Battle God was lying quietly on the ground. Its nearly hundred-meter-tall body looked particrly spectacr.


    Stepping on Battle God was like walking on a steel castle. It was equally shocking.


    Wu Mo started to focus on opening Battle God''s legs and shoulders. Its other parts could no longer amodate any other equipment either. Only these two areas had room for modification.


    After he opened up the shell around the legs, Wu Mo installed a high-density ray weapon device.


    Then, he designed twopound missileunchers for its shoulders.


    He also ced a missile warehouse near Battle God''s neck. There were dozens ofpound missiles inside to ensure sufficient firepower support and a clean sweep without any problems!


    After he did all this, Wu Mo slowly repaired Battle God. His initial modifications wereplete.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, after the modification, Battle God''sbat power will skyrocket!" an officer said excitedly with gleaming eyes.


    "Yes, with the addition of the high-density ray weapons, it will deal destructive damage to those weaker sea monsters!"


    The other officer nodded.


    Previously, the high-density ray weapon had lost its effect against the sea monster in the steel helmet because the sea monster''s defense was too strong.


    In the end, they were unable to defend against ordinary sea monsters!


    At this moment, the modified Battle God mech was once again introduced.


    A press conference was held, and it immediately caused a heated discussion among reporters around the world.


    "Oh, my God, China''s Battle God is too terrifying. Its strength has increased by another level. Those sea monsters won''t withstand a single blow!"


    "Yeah, I''m really looking forward to it fighting the tiger sea monster again. Let''s see if it can avenge Zero!"


    "Hehe, revenge? Was this revenge? Did Zero really lose?"


    At this moment, there was no doubt that many reporters, both domestic and foreign, had be loyal fans of the original Zero.


    It was a true battle mech that transcended the era of mankind. Strictly speaking, it was a first-rank maniac!


    Facing the questions from the reporters, Wu Mo patiently answered them one by one about Battle God''stest features and the things to take note of.


    However, a reporter asked a sharp question.

 Chapter 516 A Tenser Situation

    "Chief Engineer Wu, all countries around the world are currently being harassed by sea monsters. They''re all hoping to build simr mechs, but all their attempts have failed. May I ask, as the father of mechs, would you help other countries manufacture such mechs?"


    The venue immediately became dead silent following this question.


    Everyone stared at Wu Mo, as they were curious about his answer.


    A staff member frowned and was secretly annoyed. He felt that the reporter was being disrespectful by asking such a question on such an asion.


    They should have stopped him and prevented him from entering the venue.


    Then, the staff member red at the other reporters as a warning for them to watch their words and not ask such questions casually.


    Wu Mo calmly took a sip of tea before he answered, "Making a mech is no small feat. Although many countries are confident, they don''t have what it takes."


    His words shocked many people!


    Wu Mo sounded too arrogant. He actually said that other countries did not have what it took!


    Which country was he talking about?


    Everyone knew that the countries actively manufacturing mechs had strong industrial strength. Yet, they were being used of not being good enough?


    It was unbelievable!


    At this moment, some of the reporters started to tremble.


    They were worried that this question would cause a huge uproar and that small reporters like them would be punished as a result.


    When the reporter who asked the question saw how blunt Wu Mo was, he got so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. Cold sweat almost dripped down his forehead.


    "However," Wu Mo continued, "since it''s now the time for everyone to fight the sea monsters together, this is a major event for all of humanity. Therefore, I could provide some technical support."


    Then, he changed the subject. "But it''s naturally impossible for me to make a mech all on my own.


    Hearing Wu Mo''s reply, the reporter heaved a sigh of relief. His hand almost copsed as he held the microphone.


    The atmosphere in the entire venue became lively again, and people discussed in low voices.


    "Mr. Wu, since you''re willing to provide technical support, does this include the mysterious all-purpose chip?"


    The staff in the venue want to strangle the reporter at this point.


    It was a very blunt question. The all-purpose chip was extremely important to a mech, just like a coreponent.


    With the all-purpose chip, wouldn''t issues revolving around materials be easily solved?


    In response to the sharp question, Wu Mo smiled and replied, "I''m sorry, but all-purpose chips are also incredibly rare in China. If we have extras, we''ll definitely sell them to everyone at a low price."


    His answer was perfect and wless.


    He himselfcked it, so why should he give it to anyone else?


    Right then, many reporters were impressed by Wu Mo''s calmness, as well as integrity, and they started pping.


    Wu Mo smiled and motioned for everyone to continue asking questions. However, after the staff gave the reporters a warning look, the following questions were much more normal and less piercing.


    After he answered the questions, Wu Mo felt a little tired, so he left in a hurry.


    The officers and engineers answered the rest of the questions, but it was obvious that after Wu Mo left, the hype in the venue dropped a lot.


    Everyone wanted to get more information from the father of mechs because he was the only authority figure when it came to mechs. He knew Battle God''s true situation.


    At this moment, Wu Mo arrived at themand center to check on recent developments with the old chief.


    "Wu Mo, we''ve been monitoring the wormhole under the sea at thirty-six degrees northtitude. Recently, there has been increased activity. Instead of the original every three hours, a sea monster is now spawning every hour, and I''m worried that the frequency will increase," the old chief slowly said with a solemn expression.


    This meant that all the sea monsters might havee from the same space-time node.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    The sea monsters on a distant had apparently discovered the location of the wormhole, and they could now pass through to their world!


    Once this shocking fact spread, would the sea monsters swarm over like an army?


    When that happened, the number of sea monsters on the entire would soar. How would humans fight back?


    It was destined to be an unfair battle because the number of humans and their technological strength could not achieve explosive growth in a short period of time.


    However, the sea monsters could! The increase in the speed of their appearance was not a good sign. Humans had to be prepared.


    Wu Mo contemted for a moment and said, "Old Chief, can we use the nuclear bomb to destroy the wormhole again? This time, we can try to use arge nuclear bomb!"


    "Oh, arge nuclear bomb?"


    The old chief had a worried look on his face. Clearly, this weapon was not easy to deploy.


    Compared to small nuclear bombs,rge-scale nuclear bombs focused onrge-scale destructive attacks and aimed to kill in one blow.


    However, the power of arge-scale nuclear bomb was extremely shocking. Even if it exploded at the bottom of the sea thousands of meters deep, it could still cause a huge tsunami.


    It might even trigger the eruption of volcanoes at the bottom of the ocean and form a new earthquake zone by rupturing the tectonic tes.


    The resulting chain reaction would lead to an irreversible disaster.


    Therefore, when he heard the suggestion to use arge-scale nuclear bomb, the old chief immediately looked troubled.


    "Wu Mo, arge-scale nuclear bomb is indeed powerful, but using it may incur the wrath of nature," he advised.


    Wu Mo understood what the old chief meant.


    The "wrath of nature" referred to triggering a series of potential natural disasters, which might be no less powerful than arge nuclear bomb.


    Moreover, such disasters would affect humans directly.


    "Old Chief, aside from using arge nuclear bomb, we have no other way to eliminate this wormhole!" Wu Mo shook his head helplessly.


    In his mind, he had another idea¡ªif he could achieve controble nuclear fusion, he could concentrate the power on the wormhole and destroy itpletely!


    That way, it would not cause radiation, pollution, or a huge explosion.


    It would be like a pistol with a silencer. It would still be powerful, but it would not draw much attention.


    He could apply the same principle to destroy the wormhole.


    However, controble nuclear fusion seemed out of reach at the moment. Wu Mo found that even with the system''s power, it was impossible to achieve it in the short term.


    Did this mean that the battle with the sea monsters would be drawn out?


    At this moment, the old chief suddenly pointed at a map on the screen.


    Each red dot on the map represented an area that had been attacked by sea monsters.


    Wu Mo examined the map and discovered that the information on it was unusually detailed.


    The color of each dot was different, which hinted at the different degrees of invasion by the sea monsters.


    The lighter dots indicated that those cities had only been attacked by sea monsters from a distance once. They might have been affected by some waves, but they never experienced substantial damage.


    The darker dots meant that the areas had been attacked by sea monsters many times.


    Dark red spots, such as Shannan, Shen Gang, and Dongzhou on the southeastern coast of China, were the hardest hit areas of the sea monsters.


    However, there were very few such cases abroad.


    The dark red dots on the map were centered on the southeastern coast of China and radiated in all directions.

 Chapter 517 Attacking The Base

    "Wu Mo, we can see from this map that the sea monsters haven''tpletely spread to the entire world. If they''ve spread outpletely, the red dots on the entire map would be evenly distributed."


    Wu Mo nodded and agreed with the old chief''s point of view.


    It was the most reliable analysis because the sea monsters were still emerging from the wormhole.


    This undoubtedly confirmed the fact that these sea monsters were gradually approaching their world, and they might be exploring the.


    Before they figured everything out, they would notunch an inteary war so easily.


    Yes, this was going to be like Star Wars!


    The old chief, Wu Mo, and the military leaders of other countries had to admit it. The entire was facing a huge crisis.


    With powerful creatures hidden among these sea monsters, they would not reveal their sharp ws easily while they secretly observed this.


    Once they were done learning, how would they act?


    This was a huge unknown, and no one dared to make a conclusion about it.


    At this moment, Wu Mo pointed at a puzzling ck dot on the map and asked in bewilderment, "Old Chief, what''s going on here? Why is it ck?"


    It turned out to be a coastal city in the northern sea region. Its main industry was tourism, but it had attracted the attention of sea monsters.


    The sea monsters wanted to attack the city, but every time they approached, they would hesitate and leave withoutunching any attacks.


    "Is there something in this city that these sea monsters are afraid of?"


    Wu Mo immediately realized this crucial point and asked in confusion.


    However, as he vocalized it, he realized that it could not be possible.


    These sea monsters were powerful and extremely terrifying. What else could they be afraid of?


    Even a nuclear bomb could not stop them, so what could a small city do?


    Was there a legendary superhero in the city?


    Wu Mo thought it was ridiculous.


    The old chief could not figure it out either. He smiled bitterly and said, "That''s why we marked this city with ck. We''re paying special attention to it. We''ve sent people to search the city for any clues, but so far, we haven''t found anything suspicious."


    Just as the helpless old chief finished speaking, a deafening explosion came from outside!


    Rumble...


    What happened?


    Right then, the entiremand center was in chaos.


    Someone rushed over to report, "Chief, a terrifying sea monster has appeared about ten nautical miles away from us. It looks like the tiger sea monster that''s ranked first on the list!"


    What?


    The ferocious tiger monster dared to attack this ce?


    The old chief could not help butugh.


    After all, themand center was their headquarters, and its defense was extremely strong.


    This sea monster that ranked first could not shake themand center''s firm defense even when it was with the sea monster that ranked tenth.


    However, who would have thought that this monster would be bold enough tounch an attack on its own?!


    "Does it know that we''ve ranked it first?" Wu Mo sneered.


    As soon as he said that, the tense atmosphere immediately dissipated. The surrounding officers allughed.


    Nevertheless, they quickly deployed firepower. More than twenty high-densityser weapons were ready, and they slowly advanced.


    All kinds of missiles were also ready, and they vowed to st the ferocious tiger monster into smithereens!


    However, Wu Mo abruptly stopped them.


    "This is the perfect time to test Battle God''s power. How can we waste it?"


    Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that Battle God still gave them an advantage in this situation.


    "Start the live stream immediately. Let the whole world witness how terrifying the modified Battle God is! Let this top-ranking sea monster be a sacrifice!"<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    The old chief''s face was filled with murderous intent as he waved his hand and gave the order.


    Theizens had been paying attention to the page for a long time. Right then, they were surprised to find that there was a new stream!


    "Look, they''re streaming again. We''re going to watch a good show!"


    "Heavens, another sea monster has appeared? Which one is it this time?"


    "The tiger monster? The one that ranks first on the list?"


    In an instant, the viewers of the stream skyrocketed. In just ten minutes, it had exceeded ten million. The increase every minute was even more shocking!


    On the screen, the ck and red Battle God appeared mighty and domineering.


    Battle God set foot on the shore and created earth-shaking tremors.


    The tiger monster was still advancing, but it did not know what kind of terrifying weapon it was about to face.


    As soon as Battle God stepped into the sea, its dual airflow propulsion device suddenly exploded with a powerful whirlwind. The seawater was pushed forward, which provided momentum.


    Its body instantly gained a thrust in the sea, and it crossed several hundred meters in the blink of an eye!


    This scene left everyone dumbstruck. Battle God''s speed in the sea was astonishing!


    "Heavens! Battle God''s speed is unbelievable. It''s understandable that it''s fast onnd, but it''s also fast in the sea!"


    Everyone was amazed as they watched Battle God instantly rush up to the tiger sea monster.


    Battle God''s sudden dash shocked the monster!


    However, the ferocious tiger monster reacted quickly. The mark that resembled the word "king" on its forehead flickered with a blood-red light as it swung its two ws down.


    Such strength far surpassed that of the humanoid sea monster with the helmet!


    Boom!


    When the tiger''s sharp ws struck Battle God, it suffered a huge rebound and retreated three steps.


    Dong dong dong¡­


    This caused the tiger sea monster to be extremely shocked. What kind of mysterious existence was this?!


    It widened its eyes as it stared at the reddish-ck Battle God. Its eyes were filled with confusion.


    Obviously, the tiger sea monster could not wrap its mind around this mech. That was when Battle God attacked again!


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    The speed of Battle God''s arms increased. It waved its steel mechanical arms in the air and created a series of illusions as it swung them down at high speed.


    Bang bang bang!


    It struck the tiger sea monster''s head several times in a row. As a result, it started to see stars and lost its bnce.


    "Hahaha! The ferocious tiger monster is just a rookie before Battle God!"


    Seeing this scene, a Pir-rank officerughed excitedly, and the haze of the past few days was instantly swept away!


    "Wu Mo, the upgraded Battle God that you developed is really amazing. Even the number one monster on the list is no match for it!"


    The old chief could not help but praise Wu Mo with satisfaction.


    Battle God''s birth was a blessing for mankind!


    No matter how powerful a sea monster was, Battle God could kill it.


    The following battle was one-sided, and the ferocious tiger monster retreated continuously. All of a sudden, it let out a miserable cry. The "king" mark on its forehead had been hit by Battle God''s high-densityser beam.


    The mark was instantly shattered, and countless invisible electric shock waves swept across the area. The monster''s flesh and blood were instantly shredded without a trace.


    "My God! Battle God has a high-densityser device?!" everyone eximed.


    This shocked everyone, and they were in disbelief. Battle God had been hiding such a mechanism?


    What kind of mysterious attack methods did this huge mech have?!

 Chapter 518 Intimate Lovers

    Battle God advanced again and forced the tiger sea monster out of the sea.


    When they reached a deeper area, the ferocious tiger monster quickly elerated to escape into the sea.


    It was good at disappearing into the vast sea, never to be found again.


    However, before everyone''s nervous gaze, Battle God suddenly pulled its four limbs back to its body, bit by bit. It transformed into a steel fish and suddenly dived into the water.


    Everyone eximed, "Battle God can transform into a fish?!"


    This scene shocked everyone. Their eyes widened as if they were in a dream.


    "What the hell is this?" someone asked curiously. Battle God has the ability to transform. Is it a Transformer?!"


    Compared to the first-generation mech, Zero, Battle God''s abilities were unimaginable!


    The old chief sighed. "The upgraded Battle God is indeed much more powerful!"


    Wu Mo''s eyes shed with pride. Battle God''sbat power was unparalleled. It was on apletely different levelpared to Zero.


    The ferocious tiger monster swam rapidly in the sea. It could not help but turn around and almost let out an angry roar.


    Battle God''s speed was crushing it!


    The sea monster''s eyes flickered with reluctance. It used to be the overlord of the seabed, and it came from another world.


    Its speed had reached its peak on this!


    It never thought that Battle God''s current form could greatly reduce the resistance of the seawater. It dashed forward like a swordfish and crashed into the tiger sea monster!


    Kacha!


    At that moment, the tip of the mech''s head was like a sharp sword. It was like a war spirit that could tear the world apart. It pierced through the mark on the tiger sea monster''s forehead.


    Immediately after, a force that was like a howling wind pierced through its head, neck, and chest, disying an aura that could destroy the world.


    Finally, at the bottom of the endless darkness, the ferocious tiger monster that was once invincible, a peerless overlord that once dominated the rankings, was torn into two by Battle God''s sharp edge.


    The sound of sshing water echoed at the bottom of the sea as if announcing the arrival of a new era.


    The seawater slowly stirred. Battle God was bathed in the blood and flesh of the ferocious tiger monster. As everyone held their breath, it reappeared on the surface of the sea.


    Its unparalleled domineering aura made it hard for anyone to look away.


    After a long time, there was finally a burst of enthusiastic cheers.


    "Battle God!"


    "Battle God! Battle God!"


    "The invincible Battle God."


    The entire world was shocked. People realized that this was the descent of the strongest mech in the human world!


    Battle God''s first show was like a feast that shocked those who had doubted it.


    Those who had mocked Zero''s opening ceremony were speechless.


    After they left the scene, the people discussed the shocking events that had just unfolded.


    Their hearts trembled. Battle God had defeated the number one on the monster leaderboard. Didn''t this mean that it would be able to ughter sea monsters indiscriminately in the future?


    In this way, the sea monster crisis would finally be solved.


    Although arge number of sea monsters were still lurking in the sea, those terrifying existences were only mechs developed to defend against density ray weapons.


    Now, the point-to-point mech had defeated a top-tier sea monster, and ordinary attacks were enough to wipe out other ordinary sea monsters.


    As time passed, the threat of the giant beasts lurking in the depths of the ocean would gradually dissipate.


    At this moment, Wu Mo''s phone suddenly rang. He was stunned.


    After answering the call, Shen Qingya''s familiar voice echoed in his ear. It had a mix of surprise and anticipation.


    "Wu Mo, I''ve arrived at the base!" Shen Qingya said excitedly,


    "What? Why are you here?"


    Wu Mo was stunned.


    He thought that this girl had gone back to her hometown to visit her parents.


    Not long after, he saw Shen Qingya waiting nervously outside the base''smand center.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    The sunlight shone on her body as if it had covered her with a soft halo.


    "I''m here!" Wu Mo shouted at her.


    Shen Qingya raised her head and saw Wu Mo, and a bright smile appeared on her face. She ran toward him happily, her steps as light as a fairy''s.


    "Wu Mo, I wanted to go in and surprise you, but they wouldn''t let me in!" Shen Qingya pouted and said helplessly.


    Wu Mo smiled gently. "That''s normal. This is a research base. Outsiders aren''t allowed to enter."


    Then, Wu Mo brought Shen Qingya into themand center.


    Of course, he could not bring her into the secret area, so he only gave her a brief introduction outside.


    Then, he led Shen Qingya to the Institute of Special Biology.


    At this moment, the good news that the Biological Regeneration Agent brought to the patients continued.


    The production speed of the agent was getting faster and faster. Now, there were more than a thousand bottles in stock.


    However, since it was used by disabled people, its poprity was nearing its end.


    Even so, there were still many disabled people who had not learned about this blessing and still trapped themselves in dark rooms.


    Wu Mo was powerless to do anything about it.


    "Wow, Wu Mo, this medicine can actually help disabled people recover. It''s amazing!"


    After Shen Qingya learned the secret of this miraculous potion, she could not help but be surprised.


    "Exactly." Wu Mo nodded slightly and smiled. "This medicine can regenerate broken limbs, differentiate and multiply biological cells, and reconstruct a healthy body."


    "Wu Mo, you''re a hero for bringing happiness to the people!" Shen Qingya said emotionally.


    She had witnessed every step Wu Mo had taken on this path.


    He had actually developed such a magical potion. This was the ultimate mystery to the medical world!


    No one in the world could match his achievements in the field of biotechnology.


    Her Wu Mo had achieved such a feat at such a young age. Every time she thought about it, endless pride surged in her heart.


    "Come, let me show you our cafeteria."


    Wu Mo showed Shen Qingya around the cafeteria.


    The cafeteria had a sumptuous and alluring variety of dishes, such as fried chicken, crispy bullfrog, and braised fish.


    If there were any special requests, the chef would definitely satisfy them.


    These chefs had superb skills,parable to high-end restaurants outside.


    Shen Qingya ate the delicious food and smiled. "I didn''t know that your cafeteria had such delicious food. How blissful!"


    She came to visit the busy Wu Mo. Knowing that he had no time to apany her, she took the initiative toe over.


    "You didn''t go home to see your parents?" Wu Mo asked in confusion as he picked up a piece of braised pork for Shen Qingya.


    "Of course, I did. But they were so engrossed in their entertainment and games. So I came to find you!" Shen Qingya replied with a smile.


    It turned out that Shen Qingya''s parents had been so engrossed in mahjong that they had neglected their daughter.


    "How long do you n on staying?" Wu Mo asked.


    They chatted as they ate, and before they knew it, they were done eating.


    Shen Qingya thought for a moment. "I''ll return to campus after two days."


    Only two days?


    Wu Mo was a little surprised. Shen Qingya nodded firmly. "Yes, Wu Mo, I know you''re very busy. Let''s meet again in a couple of days!"


    "Alright then!"


    Wu Mo agreed and did not say much.


    Wu Mo knew that he was in the middle of a busy time in his life, and Shen Qingya''s thoughtfulness made him feel emotional.


    She had grown as a person, so she was putting herself in his shoes.

 Chapter 519 Super Behemoth

    Two days passed by quickly. Wu Mo sent Shen Qingya off from the base and arranged for someone to escort her to the airport in Shanghai.


    Back at the base, Wu Mo faced a lot of pressure, and busy days followed.


    The first task was to closely monitor the mysterious wormhole at the bottom of the sea and analyze the speed andposition of the sea monsters in real time.


    In addition, he was trying to build another mech in the hopes that it would surpass Battle God.


    However, it was extremely difficult to surpass Battle God!


    Wu Mo knew that the sea monster crisis was getting more and more intense. Battle God might not be able to handle the situation alone.


    Even though Battle God''s speed was astonishing, how could it resolve a crisis in time when multiple cities were threatened by powerful sea monsters at the same time?


    Therefore, he had to at least equip the important cities along the southeastern coast with a mech of the same level as Battle God.


    After being modified by Wu Mo, Battle Mech Zero was also equipped with a high-densityser weapon. Its lethality was not inferior to Battle God''s, but it was slightly inferior in terms of functionalplexity and toughness.


    Knowing that Wu Mo wanted to develop a second mech, everyone waited eagerly.


    In the research center, people immediately started analyzing the data for Wu Mo.


    With the first experience, everyone skillfully followed the steps.


    However, the development of the all-purpose chip was stillpleted by Wu Mo alone.


    Everyone was curious. How did Wu Mo create such a magical all-purpose chip?


    The people in the research center had studied and analyzed it and found that the all-purpose chip was like a miniature world.


    Everything that existed in the natural world could be found in it.


    As such, the mech became more human-like, like a human in a miniature world.


    The only difference was that it did not have an independent mind and could not actively speak ormunicate.


    And this time, Wu Mo decided topletely integrate a person''s spirit will into the mech''s control system to achieve super-intelligent mind control.


    This was known as the super smart operation method, which was an upgrade on the basis of intelligence.


    In this new era, super smart control was no longer a fantasy.


    People only needed to think about it and the mech would be at their disposal.


    At that time, themand center would be a thing of the past, and people would only need to control their own mech.


    However, such people needed to have rich experience and trustworthy qualities. Otherwise, it would be easy for a disaster to ur.


    On this day full of infinite possibilities, Wu Mo studied the production method of the Biological Regeneration Agent and found that the three drugs came from the same source, each with its own magical properties.


    In the field of biotechnology, they had the same characteristics.


    Life First and Life Second had already been poprized in every corner of the world. While people were extending their lifespans, they were also using the Biological Regeneration Agent to make up for their physical defects.


    The lives of humans were getting better, and people were looking forward topletely wiping out the hateful sea monsters in the sea.


    When humans would no longer face a crisis of survival, these three potions would be truly popr.


    However, on this day, a shocking piece of news spread throughout the country.


    A terrifying sea monster appeared near a cier in the sea of a faraway country. It swallowed a snowy mountain that was hundreds of meters high!


    When the news spread, countries all over the world expressed their doubts.


    "Impossible! Such a huge sea monster seems unbelievable!"


    At this moment, everyone expressed their doubts.


    If it swallowed a snowy mountain that was hundreds of meters tall, it meant that the sea monster had to be at least a few hundred meters tall.


    In that case, wouldn''t its body be nearly a thousand meters tall?


    A thousand-meter-tall sea monster was simply inconceivable! This meant that its height was equivalent to the height of ten Battle Godsbined.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    If there really was such a sea monster, the humans would not be able to fight back and could only surrender.


    Such a huge sea monster was rarely depicted even in science fiction movies.


    In themand center of China''s base, many people expressed their disbelief.


    Even Wu Mo felt that this monster was probably non-existent.


    It was impossible for a sea monster to be a thousand meters tall. Moreover, this thousand meters was only a conservative estimate. Its true height might even exceed a thousand meters.


    "This is ridiculous. We have to see the actual images and data with our own eyes before we can make a conclusion!" Wu Mo said firmly.


    The old chief nodded his head gently. There was a hint of helplessness in his eyes.


    Although some people imed to have witnessed the terrifying sea monster in the distant sea, there was no photo or video evidence.


    An officer could not help butugh. "It''s just hearsay. There''s ack of images. Perhaps this is just panic deliberately created by a certain country?"


    Right then, an earth-shattering roar suddenly sounded in a city on the southeastern coast!


    The city had not been attacked by sea monsters. It was marked a milky white on the map, which meant that it had not encountered sea monsters.


    However, just as the residents of the city forgot about the threat of the sea monster, this roar sounded, and everyone looked at the sea.


    In their horror, they saw the seawater surging to both sides. The aura they felt was terrifying.


    At this moment, everyone in the city was like a madman.They were fleeing in all directions ording to the emergency response measures they had practiced previously.


    Some hid in a hole while some fled into the buildings and stared nervously at the sea monster. They were trying to see its true appearance.


    The sea monster''s head was the first to emerge from the water. Its two eyes and long beak-like mouth made it look like a strange bird.


    Then, its body slowly floated out of the water.


    When they saw the scene, they eximed, "Oh, my God! It''s that big?"


    At this point, the sea monster''s body was already more than a hundred meters tall, but it was still rising.


    "Two hundred meters!" someone screamed in horror. This sea monster is actually that tall?"


    But it didn''t seem to stop and continued to rise.


    ''Impossible, this must be an illusion! This sea monster''s special ability is to create illusions, right?'' someone couldn''t help but think to himself.


    They pinched their thighs hard to confirm that they were not dreaming. Aftermunicating with others, they found that everyone was looking at the same thing.


    The sea monster was already more than two hundred meters above the water, but the process was far from over.


    Immediately after, the sea monster''s body broke through the three-hundred-meter mark, and people eximed repeatedly, "Heavens, three hundred meters! Hurry up and inform the base that something big has happened!"


    The person in charge of the city realized that sea monsters that were over three hundred meters tall were definitely ranked at the top of the list. Their strength was pretty much top-notch.


    Moreover, the city had never been attacked by sea monsters before. It was only equipped with three high-densityser weapons. Facing such a huge sea monster, it was impossible to fight back.


    Seeing that the city was about to suffer a devastating blow, the base quickly sent reinforcements.


    "Send the fourth battalion over!"


    The old chief immediately ordered the fourth battalion, which was the closest, to rush to the scene to provide support. They had to stop this sea monster.


    At this moment, Wu Mo had also arrived at themand room. Together with the other officers, they stared at the image of the huge sea monster.


    "What is it? It already appears to be over four hundred meters, and it''s still rising to the surface?"


    Everyone was stunned, and they could not help but think of the legendary thousand-meter sea monster.


    What seemed like an absurd legend was gradually bing a reality at this moment?


    Wu Mo was silent, and his expression was solemn. He had never expected to encounter such a terrifying sea monster. The legend hade true!


    "Five hundred meters!" an officer shouted in a trembling voice.

 Chapter 520 An Ant Trying To Shake A Tree

    The top half of the sea monster that had already emerged from the water''s surface wasparable to the height of five Battle God mechs stacked together. In addition, the speed of its ascent was not decreasing in the slightest.


    "Six hundred meters¡­" another person said.


    In just half a minute, the sea monster''s body grew another hundred meters.


    As the sea monster''s body continued to grow, everyone grew increasingly weary.


    Right then, the sea monster seemed extremely terrifying.


    Its pitch-ck body was covered in dense scales that gave off a cold luster and a ghastly murderous intent.


    Its body was also covered in barbs at intervals, and they wrapped around its body irregrly as if it was wearing ayer of armor.


    The sea monster gradually slowed down, but by then, it was nearly nine hundred meters!


    "Oh, my God, a nine-hundred-meter-tall sea monster, and it''s still rising!" someone could not help but exim.


    At this moment, the sea monster suddenly opened its bloody mouth and roared at the sky!


    Rumble¡­


    Everyone widened their eyes and saw its huge mouth. It was estimated to be about three hundred meters in diameter.


    The mouth that was rumored to be able to swallow an entire cier actually existed!


    "So, there really is such a sea monster in our world. Things have just be much more challenging for us!"


    The old chief sighed with an ugly expression.


    "Wu Mo, what do you think will happen if Battle God fights this sea monster?"


    The old chief''s question made everyone focus on Wu Mo.


    They had already guessed the answer, but they still wanted Wu Mo to confirm it.


    Wu Mo smiled bitterly. "Although Battle God has a variety of attack methods, the difference in size is too great. It''s impossible for it to fight such a behemoth."


    Everyone''s doubts were confirmed, and their hearts became even heavier.


    "In that case, we only have two options, Wu Mo: The first is to break through current technological limits and defeat it with offensive methods. The second is to create a superrge mech of a simr size to confront it."


    The sharp old chief could identify the crux of the problem.


    Wu Mo nodded, but he knew that these two choices were extremely difficult to execute.


    Discovering new technology required them to surpass current technology and research controble nuclear fusion or userge nuclear bombs.


    Arge-scale nuclear bomb obviously would not work. It was a double-edged sword that harmed others and oneself.


    Controlled nuclear fusion was limited by technology and could not be achieved in a short time.


    The second path was to create a super giant mech that was close to a thousand meters tall. This was also fraught with difficulties.


    As the size of the mech increased, they would face a huge challenge in ensuring the hardness and strength of the materials.


    The giant mech could split open with just a casual step because the endurance needed was too great!


    It seemed that there was no alloy that could bear the weight of a thousand-meter-tall body.


    Furthermore, the interior of the mech would not be empty. Its internal parts and coreponents would be extremely heavy, which would then put a lot of pressure on the outer shell.


    If the sea monster squeezed and deformed it slightly, the entire system might copsepletely, and the consequences would be worrisome.


    "In that case, we can''t fight this monster with our current methods?"


    The old chief''s words made everyone''s hearts sink.


    They had originally thought that Battle God was at its peak and could defend them against all sea monsters.


    Yet, now that this giant beast had suddenly appeared, Battle God had be useless before it.


    "Impossible, there must be a way! We just need to find its weakness!"


    Wu Mo''s eyes shed with hope.


    Every creature had a weakness, and this sea monster was no exception.


    Even though it was huge, its movement speed and reaction time should be rtively slow. They would use this as an opportunity!


    "Very good. Launch a fire attack immediately. Observe its biological characteristics and analyze its weaknesses," the old chief ordered decisively.


    With that, they quickly unleashed their firepower.


    At this time, some countries imed responsibility for the sea monster incident. They imed that the sea monster was a leaked product of an experiment that had gone wrong in theirboratory.


    This made the whole worldugh.


    If they truly had the ability to create such a creature, they would have unified the world long ago.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    This was just an interlude in the era of fighting against sea monsters, so no one cared.


    Their weapons covered the area, but the huge sea monster was not afraid in the slightest. It repelled the firepower and advanced toward the shore.


    The scales on its body were extraordinary, and its barbs were iparably hard.


    Instead of fatal injuries, the missiles only produced sparks when they hit its body.


    "D*mn it, this sea monster''s defense is so terrifying. Why are we even fighting at this point?" Themander on the shore is anxious.


    The sea monster''s defense was astonishing. What was its weakness?


    It did not matter that it moved slowly.


    It waspletely unshakable!


    This monster only needed to walk toward the shore. It did not need any special skills.


    If its huge body fell to the shore and rolled three times, who could stop it?


    Right then, everyone realized how dangerous it was, and they immediately chose to retreat.


    The frontlinemander ordered his troops to retreat five hundred meters so that they could have a sense of security as they continued attacking.


    "Oh, no... What is it doing now?"


    Everyone could clearly see on the screen that the huge sea monster was raising its two huge arms that were hundreds of meters long.


    "Oh, my goodness, didn''t they say it was slow? Why would it attack like that?"


    Before the person could finish his sentence, the sea monster''s two terrifying arms came crashing down.


    Boom!


    At this moment, the entire shore waspletely destroyed. Those who could not escape in time fell into the sea.


    They tried their best to swim to the shore and finally escaped.


    "No! This sea monster isn''t stupid. It knows how to target human equipment from a distance. It can''t be underestimated!"


    Wu Mo soon realized the severity of the problem.


    "Let Battle God take action!" Wu Mo sighed.


    He knew that it was difficult to defeat this sea monster with conventional weapons. Battle God''s assistance was the key to victory.


    "Alright, we can only let Battle God take action!" The old chief shook his head helplessly.


    Battle God quickly arrived at the coastal city. After it received the order, it immediately entered the water.


    Everyone looked on expectantly as Battle God unfurled the des on its arms and stepped forward.


    The sun was setting in the west, and the golden afterglow sprinkled across the sea.


    Battle God seemed insignificant before the sea monster. It was at least nine times taller than Battle God!


    If the sea monster wanted to, it could easily stomp Battle God into a meat patty.


    Shua!


    As expected, the sea monster moved its leg and attempted to stomp its foot.


    Battle God reacted quickly and dodged the attack using its superior movement and agility.


    Then, Battle God shed the monster''s leg with its still de.


    ng!


    A crisp sound rang out in the air. The scales on the sea monster''s legs were extremely hard, and Battle God could not cut them with a single sh.


    However, under Wu Mo''smand, Battle God swung its long de repeatedly and shed at the same spot again and again.


    Finally, Battle God''s de showed its might at this critical moment. It sliced the sea monster''s leg open, and green blood flowed out.


    However, this attack seemed to anger the sea monster. It waved its huge arms and pounced forward like an iron tower that spanned the sky!


    "This is bad. Retreat immediately!" Wu Mo ordered decisively.


    Battle God quickly activated the Ultimate Evasion System. Its body was as agile as a cheetah''s, and it easily dodged the sea monster''s two-armed attacks.


    Immediately after, Battle Godunched another attack!


    While Battle God and the sea monster were engaged in a fierce battle, the troops did not stop firing their weapons.


    The dense missiles rained down like a storm. Although they did not deal much damage, they were enough to restrain the monster''s movements and make it difficult for the monster to move.

 Chapter 521 New Concept, Real Mech

    Battle God kept aiming at the sea monster''s injured leg and attacked it repeatedly to worsen its injuries.


    At this moment, the sea monster''s timid nature was revealed.


    It seemed afraid of being killed by Battle God, or perhaps it realized that its wounds would not heal so easily.


    Regardless of the reason, the sea monster chose to retreat in the end.


    Battle God chased after it and tried to prevent it from escaping.


    At this point, the sea monster was willing to resort to anything. It decided to fall, and the entire sky seemed to be swallowed by its huge body.


    Battle God immediately retreated after it was given the order to and narrowly avoided the sea monster''s fierce retaliation.


    The sea monster took the opportunity to dive into the sea and sessfully escaped.


    "Sigh, it''s a pity that we can''t track it because Battle God won''t even be able to face a casual attack from it." Wu Mo sighed.


    Themand center was busy as they were analyzing the sea monster''s images nervously. All kinds of data were calcted to summarize its habits.


    "It''s huge, and it has extraordinary intelligence. Perhaps its only weakness is its slow attack speed, but that''s understandable."


    An officer excitedly said, "If this monster has a body that''s a thousand meters tall, and it can reach a speed of about a hundred meters per second, wouldn''t it be defying the heavens?"


    Right then, they established a model of the sea monster. Its huge body was presented before everyone, and although they were dumbfounded, their hearts beat faster.


    The sea monster had not revealed its full body because a part of it had been hidden below the sea.


    However, the part that was exposed to the surface was already more than nine hundred meters long. Besides, it looked strange; it was different from any sea monster that they had discovered so far.


    The scientists ced the other discovered sea monsters and the models of the two mechs side by side for scale.


    After theparison, everyone was surprised!


    The closest to this sea monster was the humanoid sea monster with the steel helmet, followed by the Sea Monster King, and finally the Dual-de Sea Monster.


    These few monsters were all around three hundred meters in height or length, while the others measured around one to two hundred meters.


    Next was Battle God, and finally, the first-generation mech, Zero.


    These models were arranged in a row from high to low. One could see that the sea monster from earlier was unparalleled.


    With a body length of nearly a thousand meters, not a single being could be as big as it, not even close!


    From a thousand meters to three hundred meters, it was a world of difference!


    "Wu Mo, the challenges we face next will be even more severe. Before that, we have to give this sea monster a name so that we can lock onto our target," the old chief said seriously.


    Wu Mo thought for a moment and suggested, "Why don''t we call it the Troll?"


    The Troll¡­


    Everyone thought about the name repeatedly and nodded.


    The characteristics of the giant monster was simr to that of this sea monster¡ªit was huge and mighty like a troll.


    "Let''s call it the Troll then. This giant monster is the tallest sea monster that''s been discovered so far. In addition, it''s quite intelligent. It knew when to attack and when to retreat after being injured. It''s very cunning!" an officer said in a deep voice.


    Next, he described the various conjectures and simtions that the scientists had analyzed about the Troll.


    But at this moment, the image that was echoing in Wu Mo''s mind waspletely different.


    Wu Mo was fully focused on how to truly integrate the human mind with the intelligent control system.


    The scene of Battle God using its extraordinary speed and flexible joints to fight the sea monster shed before his eyes.


    He imagined that if the thoughts of a human could be perfectlybined with the AI system, the mech''s movements would not be dyed at all. It would be as agile and powerful as a martial arts master.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Who could stop such a mech?


    At this moment, no one knew that Wu Mo''s thoughts had drifted so far away.


    They only felt that Wu Mo seemed to be absent-minded during the meeting.


    After the meeting ended, Wu Mo immediately returned to the research center and browsed through the system store to find a way tobine it with the intelligent control system to form a super-intelligent humanoid control mode.


    Finally, Wu Mo discovered this technique. However, when he saw the points required¡ªfifty million¡ªhe couldn''t help but be shocked.


    Wu Mo didn''t even dare to think of such an astronomical figure before, but now, the huge profits brought by the three great potions had made him rich.


    Therefore, Wu Mo did not hesitate to purchase this technology.


    Once he sessfully developed this type of super intelligent humanoid mech, even though it was not as big as the sea monster, he could still toy with the sea monster in his palm.


    Wu Mo was eager to develop such a powerful mech because who knew what other powerful sea monsters would be born at the wormhole.


    The appearance of the thousand-meter-level sea monster warned them that many terrifying sea monsters were lurking in the dark, silently observing the human''s reaction.


    Once they confirmed that humans could not deal with it, they would probably reveal their fangs.


    When this news was spread, the entire world was shocked.


    Those countries that were still secretly researching mech were shocked by this news.


    They thought regretfully, We haven''t even created the model of the mech, and you''re already able to let people control the mech''s movements with their minds?"


    "Oh, my God, is this the operation of an online game? Directly using one''s thoughts to control a person was simply an even more fantastical method!"


    The reporters discussed excitedly. They were looking forward to when China would hold a press conference to announce this shocking operation mode.


    Some people couldn''t hold back their curiosity and wanted to see if Chief Engineer Wu had truly realized this model.


    Finally, the meaningful press conference began.


    Wu Mo stood on the stage, and the people standing beside him were not high-ranking military officers, but the senior engineers and advisors of the entire research and development team.


    However, these engineers were actually just supporting roles. They had yet to reach the core technical areas.


    When the background screen showed a pilot sitting in the chest of a mech and controlling the mech with his mind, everyone was stunned!


    "Oh, my God, this... Is this a joke?"


    "That''s right. If the mech is destroyed by the monsters, won''t the pilot die for sure?"


    "So this is what the super intelligent humanoid mode means!"


    Voices of astonishment rose and fell, undoubtedly setting off a huge wave in the arena.


    No one had expected the pilot to be ced inside the chest of the mech to operate it. The safety risk was too great!


    A foreign reporter couldn''t help but express his pain and asked, "Chief Engineer Wu, have you ever considered that this method is too serious a threat to the driver? If they were careless, they would be destroyed by the ws of the sea monsters along with their mechs!"


    He looked at Wu Mo sympathetically, as if he could already see the tragedy.


    The other reporters also expressed their agreement and were ready to ask simr questions.


    The engineers in the audience were silent. They did not know how to answer.


    In reality, when they heard that Wu Mo wanted to ce the pilot inside the chest of the mech, they were all shocked.


    At this moment, they were waiting for Wu Mo to exin.

 Chapter 522 The First Mech Pilot

    Wu Mo nodded slightly and answered their questions seriously, "I''ve decided to ce the pilot inside the mech after careful consideration. If the pilot remains in themand center, it would be no different from remote control."


    Everyone listened to Wu Mo''s words and stared nervously at this talented chief engineer. They were trying to make sense of his exnation.


    Wu Mo''s voice echoed throughout the entire venue. "The reason why I developed this super smart driving mode is to achieve true human-machine integration! This integration means that the pilot has to be one with the mech, but no one needs to worry about the pilot''s safety."


    Hearing Wu Mo''s words, everyone felt increasingly confused. They found it hard to understand.


    The pilot would be in a dangerous position because the pilot would be engaging in closebat with monsters on the front line. How could they not worry about the pilot''s safety?


    The puzzled audience could not help but wonder, ''Why are Chief Engineer Wu''s words so confusing?''


    However, Wu Mo exined, "I''ve designed at least eleven safety devices around the pilot''s cabin. In other words, if the monster manages to destroy the mech''s defenses and hurt the pilot, it means that the mech would already be damaged to the point where it can''t move!"


    Everyone finally understood. "So that''s how it is. In other words, Chief Engineer Wu, you''ve ced the pilot''s safety above the mech''s. As long as the mech is still standing, the pilot will be safe and sound, right?"


    Hearing the reporter''s question, Wu Mo nodded his head.


    However, the reporter did not seem to be satisfied. He asked another sharp question, "In that case, if the mech is destroyed, will the pilot die with the mech, Chief Engineer Wu?"


    As soon as he said that, all the staff members at the venue frowned.


    Which country did this guye from?


    Was he deliberately looking for trouble?


    However, Wu Mo had already expected this.


    His previous exnation had been leading up to this question. Therefore, Wu Mo already had his answer.


    He smiled and said, "You''re right. When the mech is destroyed, the person operating the mech will almost certainly die!"


    Hearing Wu Mo admit this, the entire venue went into an uproar.


    "Heavens! Chief Engineer Wu is tying a person''s life to the mech, and he has publicly admitted it. Doesn''t this mean that he has no care for human life?"


    Everyone was riled up. The foreign reporters were already eager to attack Wu Mo together.


    However, at this moment, Wu Mo suddenly gave a resounding reply that left everyone speechless.


    "With that said, I''m confident that the mech I''m developing next will have a much higher defense level. There is almost no sea monster in the world that can destroy this mech!"


    Wu Mo''s entire body emanated great confidence when he said this. It was as if a majestic aura was wreaking havoc in the entire venue, and it affected everyone.


    If someone else had said the same thing, everyone might haveughed it off and thought that he was bragging.


    However, those words hade from Wu Mo''s mouth, and no one dared to underestimate their weight.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, you''re confident enough to say that no sea monster in this world can destroy the mech you''re going to develop. Will you bear the responsibility for making this im for the rest of your life?" the reporter continued to ask.


    The staff members were about to freak out, so they warned him with their eyes. Two of them quietly approached the reporter and tried to shut him up!


    It was not because they did not allow reporters to ask questions in public but because this guy obviously had ill intentions. <novelsnext></novelsnext>


    The questions he asked were very sharp and targeted. They were not meant to answer the public''s doubts about the super smart driving mode, hence the staff could not tolerate it.


    Furthermore, asking such questions would change the direction of the entire press conference and turn a good press conference into a nitpicking session.


    "I''m willing to take responsibility for this for the rest of my life," Wu Mo said with a smile. "In other words, the mech will not be destroyed to the extent that it would hurt the pilot if it''s attacked by a monster. It will be able to escape to the shore and return to the base!"


    His stand was clear. Wu Mo was willing to take responsibility for his ims! The reporter was speechless and could not ask any more questions.


    Since Wu Mo''s answer was clear, what else could he pick on?


    Following that, other reporters asked simr questions about various aspects of the super smart driving system.


    Finally, a reporter from China raised a question before the press conference ended. "May I ask, when the next mech with this super-smart piloting system is born, who will be the lucky person to pilot it?"


    It was an extremely important question because this person would be the first pilot in human history to truly realize the integration of human and machine.


    This pilot would enter the mech and be the first person to fight monsters at close range. So, who would be the lucky one?


    Wu Mo pondered for a moment and said, "First of all, this person must be psychologically strong. This person must be able to face danger calmly. These are the basic conditions."


    Everyone nodded. These were reasonable conditions. If one''s mental fortitude was low, how would one be able to operate the mech properly when facing monsters?


    "Second of all, this person must possess basic fighting skills. It would be best if this person is a martial artist!" Wu Mo continued.


    "Oh? A martial artist?"


    Hearing this, many people could not help butugh. Did one need to know martial arts to operate a mech?


    However, Wu Mo''s next exnation made everyonee to a realization.


    "The original intention of my research on human-machine integration is to allow human consciousness to rece machinery, so as to achieve the most flexible and adaptable attack or evasion movements.


    "In other words, the mech''s movements will be exactly the same as the human''s.


    "Therefore, when the pilot has basic martial arts skills, the mech will be able to imitate all of the pilot''s movements. These movements will be the strongest weapon against the monsters!"


    Everyone fell into deep thought. If the mech''s pilot did not have sufficient knowledge of basicbat movements, the pilot would not be able to fully utilize the mech''s capabilities, right?


    As a result, it would go against the original intention of human-machine integration.


    Shortly after, someone walked into the venue. When he saw Wu Mo, he smiled and nodded respectfully.


    He was the mech pilot that Wu Mo had appointed. His name was Hong Peng, and he was an experienced coach from the Martial Arts Club.


    His martial arts attainments were extensive, and he had repeatedly won world-ss medals in fightingpetitions.


    More importantly, Hong Peng was passionate about mechs. He was unique in the martial arts andbat world.


    In addition, Hong Peng had an advanced degree and majored in structural engineering. In all aspects, he was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate to operate a mech in the entire country.

 Chapter 523 Mech Pilot

    Wu Mo had given Hong Peng aprehensive evaluation. He confirmed that he did not have any underlying illness and that he was mentally strong.


    After going through the research institute''s rigorous tests, Wu Mo finally chose Hong Peng to operate the first mech that was a human-machine fusion type!


    Hong Peng was extremely excited and bowed to everyone present. "I feel extremely honored to be the first person to pilot a mech. I will uphold Chief Engineer Wu''s ideals and operate this mech well to protect the peace and dignity of China and all mankind!"


    Hong Peng''s voice was trembling, and he had tears of excitement. He would be the first human pilot to operate a mech and fight a sea monster at close range.


    This was undoubtedly a task filled with glory, and he would be able to talk about it with his descendants in the future. The press conference ended sessfully in such an atmosphere.


    Wu Mo and Hong Peng became the focus. One was the father of mechs, and the other was the first mech pilot.


    He was like a star that received the attention of the outside world. At this time, people were eager to know if Hong Peng could control the mech that was one with the machine to fight against the sea monster.


    When would the mech that was one with the machine be revealed?


    What would its appearance be like?


    As expected, a fierce battle was about to take ce. A powerful sea monster appeared out of nowhere and was ranked fourth on the sea monster rankings.


    This sea monster was like a steel giant, like a Transformer. Its muscles were like cast steel, and it was so powerful that it made people gasp in amazement!


    Its pupils shot out blood-red light like hellfire. When this light reached its peak, four ferocious des instantly appeared around it!


    What was surprising was that these des did not extend from its bones but were mysterious weapons that came from the deep sea.


    This was also the first time in history that a sea monster equipped with weapons had been discovered. When the sea monster named "de Demon" appeared along the coast of the city, it waved its four sharp des and shed at the dock crazily!


    "Run! The de Demon is here!" someone cried out in rm.


    The entire city instantly went from tranquility to chaos. The fourth-ranked de Demon was extremely rampant, wantonly destroying everything!


    Immediately after, a human-machine mech rushed to the scene. This mech did not go through a solemn debut ceremony or make an appearance at the first show conference, but it appeared calmly before everyone.


    "Look! This was the legendary human-machine mech. The pilot should be Hong Peng, who had previously appeared at the press conference!"


    At this moment, everyone was focused on the screen, and they couldn''t help but feel nervous.


    After all, this was the first time a human had operated a mech to fight a sea monster at close range.


    Would Hong Peng be famous after one battle?


    If they couldn''t gain a critical advantage in the battle against the sea monsters, the human-machine integration mode would prove to be ineffective, and Wu Mo''s research results would be wasted.


    At this moment, Hong Peng was in the mech''s cockpit He was examining theplicated control system around him, as well as the rows of buttons and control rods.


    His heart was heavy.


    Taking a deep breath, he felt the pressure on him lessen slightly. Immediately after, a sharp light shed in his eyes.


    Recalling Wu Mo''s advice to him, his confidence gradually rose.


    Shua!


    Hong Peng gripped the two connecting rods tightly and pushed forward with all his might. His blood was boiling.


    At this moment, the mech''s steel arms were like a dragon''s wings, and it shed at the enemy diagonally!


    Bang!


    The loud sound of collision resounded through the sky. The man-made mech, as well as the de Demon''s de collided fiercely and produced a shocking shockwave. <novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Both sides took a few steps back. This endless power was transmitted between the two bodies.


    The man-made mech ingeniously used its shock absorption to perfectly digest this power. On the other side, the de Demon spat out a mouthful of blood in pain!


    "Look, the mech beat the de Demon until it vomited blood. Its strength is off the charts!"


    "Yeah, but I haven''t seen the power of this mech''s martial arts yet. I wonder how amazing it is."


    "Look! The de Demon is attacking!"


    At this moment, the de Demon was burning with anger. It waved its four des and shed forward like a storm.


    "Heavens! Four des?" Hong Peng''s eyes shone brightly. Seeing this, he immediately piloted his mech and disyed his ultimate skill inbat.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    The mech instantly disyed astonishing speed and agility. With its head lowered, its shoulders rxed, and its legs slightly bent, it shuttled across the battlefield like a cheetah.


    Immediately after, the mech swung its de forward. Then, it lifted its body and drifted to another position like a ghost.


    This series of movements was as smooth as flowing water. It was hard to believe that this was done by a huge mech!


    "This... Is it for real? Such a huge mech can make such nimble and continuous movements, and even dodge all of the de Demon''s attacks?"


    "It''s true. The realm of human-machine integration is shocking!"


    "This is too much! This is the ultimate form of a mech! Battle God and Zero pale inparison, don''t they?"


    "That''s right! Battle God might have powerful hardware, but if it were to fight against this mech, it would definitely be smashed to the ground!"


    The people at the scene widened their eyes. They felt that only this mech could be called a perfect creation.


    This was because the mobility that it disyed was enough to crush the slower mechs like Battle God and Zero.


    The monster was also stunned by the series of operations performed by the mech. It stood rooted to the ground, unable to regain its senses.


    Its huge head was filled with confusion. How could this steel giant be more agile than it?


    "Haha! The results are just as I expected! With this method of operation, it should not be a problem for a mech to fight several sea monsters at the same time."


    Seeing this, Wu Mo nodded in satisfaction.


    "Wu Mo, your idea of integrating humans and machines is truly unique. Moreover, this super smart control system is top-notch. How did you do it?" an officer beside him asked with a smile.


    "Actually, the integration of man and machine is not out of reach. Anyone can be a pilot as long as they train at home and master basic mech operating skills."


    "Oh, are you saying that there are many people in China who can be pilots like Hong Peng?" the officer asked curiously.


    He was even interested in piloting a mech to fight monsters. This was an extraordinary experience. Once a person tried it, it would be unforgettable.


    Wu Mo pondered for a moment and said, "I''ll publish a basic textbook on mech operation and design a set of fixed examination procedures. As long as you grasp the basic knowledge and pass the examination, you''ll have the qualifications to pilot a mech."


    Hearing Wu Mo''s words, everyone present was shocked. They knew that with the advancement of this project, there would be a craze for mech operators in the country and even the world.


    The passionate people all threw themselves into learning mech piloting techniques and underwent all kinds of simtion training continuously, all for the sake of bing a mech pilot one day.


    At that time, they would be able to obtain a mech pilot''s license and obtain the qualifications to operate a mech.


    However, the problem was that since there were not enough mechs for them to pilot, what was the point of such qualifications?

 Chapter 524 Mechs Developed By Another Country

    People had seemingly noticed that Wu Mo''s next research focus was likely to be on developing more human-machine integration mechs.


    This would allow more outstanding pilots to have the opportunity to pilot these mechs to increase their ability to fight sea monsters.


    That''s right, this was exactly what Wu Mo was looking forward to. As the battle came to a sessful end, Hong Peng sessfully killed the de Demon with his mech!


    This battle allowed the entire world to recognize the terrifying power of the human-machine integration mech.


    Then, another piece of news came. China was about to establish a mech pilot training school. As long as one was at least eighteen years old, had a strong physique, hadbat knowledge, basic academic qualifications, understood programming knowledge, and was interested in mechs, one would be qualified to enter the school.


    These conditions soundedplicated, but many people met these criteria. Hence, when the training school was established, the number of students who signed up for the first batch surpassed a hundred thousand!


    Many families and entertainment venues were filled with excitement. Amusement parks and arcade rooms had added facilities to simte mech control.


    When a person sat at the control room equipment, they could simte operating a mech and engage in a fierce battle with the sea monsters that performed various attacks.


    This was both entertainment and training.


    The yers who defeated the sea monsters in such a ce felt as if they had be real mech pilots. An indescribable sense of aplishment welled up in their hearts.


    Basic knowledge of mech operations was also spread under Wu Mo''s arrangements, and this allowed more people to learn.


    At this moment, the entire base in China was in high spirits. Many people were engrossed in learning mech piloting techniques, and countless people were undergoing mech simtion training.


    They pursued their dreams and worked hard to move forward. They hoped that one day, they would be able to drive mechs like Hong Peng and bring glory to the country and protect the safety of mankind.


    As soon as this news was released, countries all over the world were envious of China''s advancement, and their people yearned to attend mech training schools.


    However, for the countries that couldn''t even manufacture a mech, it seemed impossible to have the technology of human-machine integration, or a super smart driving mode.


    At this moment, an ind country located in the southern hemisphere announced excitedly that they had sessfully developed a smart mech.


    It could disy the power of chopping melons and vegetables to kill sea monsters in the uing battle. The entire world held its breath.


    China''s mech research center was also quite surprised to hear the news. Wu Mo was filled with anticipation because he wanted to know more.


    As expected, in order to show off their strength, this country had specially organized a mech debut event. After choosing a city by the bay, they prepared to ughter a sea monster.


    To promote the country''s prestige, this ind country in the south had invited all major media outlets, including big-name media outlets from other countries in the world, to gather at the scene.


    Even China had sent three of theirrgest media outlets to conduct interviews.


    This nation wanted to let the whole world see that their country also had the ability to manufacture mechs and kill sea monsters without relying on China''s technology.


    Wu Mo was watching the broadcast from themand center. He was quite interested.


    "Wu Mo, how do you think their mechpare to the one you''ve developed?" asked one of the officers with a smile."


    This question was obviously a joke. No one thought that this country''s mech could surpass China''s mech.


    "I''m not too sure about that," Wu Mo replied after some thought. "I''ll have to see their mech first."


    Finally, the live broadcast showed that the entire venue was bustling with activity and excitement.


    This ind nation in the southern hemisphere had put in a lot of effort for this mech debut. Before everyone''s gaze, a huge red cloth was slowly lifted on a wide stage.


    It revealed a huge mecha that was a hundred and ten meters tall. It surpassed the size of the two generations of mechs in China.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Everyone eximed, "Oh, my God, it''s so tall!"


    "From the looks of it, it''s much bigger than the mechs from China!" Reporters from all over the world were shocked as theymented.


    There were even people who deliberately provoked emotions and maliciously mocked China''s mechs.


    The research team on the field was full of confidence as they answered the questions of the reporters from various countries.


    They talked eloquently about theplexity of their mech''s technology and the hard work they had put in. They even imed that its performance surpassed China''s Battle God.


    "I believe that everyone is looking forward to our mech''s name. As the chief designer, I announce to everyone that our mech has been named ''Kaiyuan!''" a white-bearded old man, obviously the leader of the mech research team, shouted excitedly into the microphone.


    The crowd was in an uproar. Kaiyuan was a domineering name. China''s mech was called Battle God, while their mech was called Kaiyuan. It was as if the name itself had surpassed countless levels.


    "Hehe, Kaiyuan? What a joke! The meaning of opening the first year?" In themand center, an officer couldn''t help butugh.


    Even Wu Mo couldn''t help butugh as he thought that the name Kaiyuan sounded too arrogant.


    He just didn''t know if this mech could live up to such a big name. At this moment, after the white-bearded old man revealed Kaiyuan''s name, the scene was in an uproar.


    After a short period of shock, people were even more eager to see how this mech would perform against the sea monsters. His heart was filled with pride.


    He waved his hands excitedly and shouted, "Everyone, next is the segment you''ve been waiting for¡ªthe debut of Kaiyuan!"


    ording to their observation, a sea monster was swimming toward them from five kilometers away.


    "Kaiyuan will kill it in a domineering manner. Please wait and see!"


    Everyone''s hearts trembled violently, and they began to look forward to it. Everyone knew that Zero and Battle God had easily crushed their opponents in their debut.


    Kaiyuan was bing famous, and its size was bigger than China''s mechs. How would it perform?


    Soon, the sea monster gradually appeared on the horizon. As it got closer and closer, everyone could see its appearance clearly.


    "What? Such a huge sea monster?"


    A three-hundred-meter-long sea monster appeared before everyone, and the old man''s white beard twitched violently.


    "D*mn it! Why is this sea monster so big?" The white-bearded old man began to worry. Actually, he knew his own business. He was very clear about the true strength of his mech.


    Now that he was facing such a terrifying sea monster, his expression became somewhat unnatural.


    "Mr. Carter, are you confident that Kaiyuan can kill this sea monster?" a reporter immediately asked.


    The white-bearded old man, Mr. Carter patted his chest and promised, "Of course! Next, ourmand center will give the order for Kaiyuan to attack!"


    Sure enough, Kaiyuan slowly walked forward after receiving the order. However, everyone looked at its back with a puzzled expression.


    Why was this giant mech walking so awkwardly and limping as if it was born with a disability?


    However, everyone kept this in their hearts and dared not question it directly. After all, Kaiyuan represented the country''s face and dignity. No one dared to challenge it.


    Finally, after taking more than ten steps with great difficulty, Kaiyuan entered the sea.

 Chapter 525 Becoming A Laughing Stock

    After entering the sea, Kaiyuan''s movements became even slower.


    The scene made Carter''s lips tremble.


    He had a bad feeling.


    Eventually, the sea monster spotted Kaiyuan and let out a deafening roar as it rushed over.


    A group of military leaders smiled confidently on the high stands by the coast.


    They were not part of the research team, so they did not know how powerful Kaiyuan was.


    In fact, only the old man with the white beard, Carter, knew about it.


    Even his assistants had no idea what kind of power this mech could unleash. Ever since the mech waspleted, it had not been tested in actualbat.


    Tests on Kaiyuan''s various standard movements had also been conducted in secret at the research base, so only Carter knew about them.


    At this moment, two huge figures collided fiercely before them!


    The sea monster was nearly 300 meters tall, while Kaiyuan was only about 120 meters tall. It was half as tall as the monster.


    Nevertheless, Kaiyuan looked very solid, like a round, muscr man who was delivering a forward punch.


    "Look! Kaiyuan is making a move!"


    "Heavens, Kaiyuan''s fist is terrifying! I reckon that its punch would be able to knock the sea monster down, right?"


    "Hahaha, Kaiyuan is amazing! As expected of our country''s first mech. It looks much more powerful than those Chinese mechs!"


    Right then, all theizens in the country were watching the live broadcast. They started discussions when they saw the exciting scene.


    At the same time, in China''smand center, Wu Mo and a few officers were staring at the screen. The entiremand center was silent.


    How powerful was Kaiyuan?


    It would soon be revealed!


    Bang!


    There was a crisp sound as if something had suddenly broken.


    On the screen, the sea monster did not seem as fast as Kaiyuan. Before long, the mech delivered a heavy punch to the sea monster''s belly.


    "Haha, we''re winning!"


    Right then, some people could not help but wave their fists and cheer.


    However, in the next moment, everyone''s eyes widened as if they had seen a ghost.


    Kaiyuan''s huge mechanical arm fell off its body with dazzling sparks and dropped into the turbulent sea like a meteor.


    With a plop, it set off a magnificent wave that was more than ten meters high. The people were dumbfounded.


    Kaiyuan was like a warrior who had lost his arm. He was standing upright on the battlefield but allowing the wind and rain to hit him.


    "This... What''s going on?"


    At this moment, there was chaos. People''s minds went nk, and the atmosphere at the debut event was suffocating.


    However, after a short period of silence, the scene blew up like an explosive barrel that had been detonated!


    The country''s Inte was also facing an unprecedented predicament. Comments poured in like a storm on live streams, and theizens were extremely excited. As a result, the signal in the live streams were interrupted.


    Right then, the Chineseizens burst intoughter. They could not suppress the joy in their hearts.


    "Haha, what''s going on? Is their mech made of paper?"


    "I can see it now. Thepany''s smelting technology isn''t up to par at all, so Kaiyuan is just a decoration."


    Wu Mo and the other officers in themand center could not help butugh.


    Kaiyuan''s performance was indeed ridiculous.


    The sea monster seemed stunned by this sudden change and did not react for a moment.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    However, it quickly regained itsposure. It waved its fists angrily and smashed them at Kaiyuan.


    "D*mn it! Hurry up and dodge!"


    The operators in the remotemand center were so anxious that their faces turned pale as they frantically issued orders.


    Unfortunately, Kaiyuan had seemingly lost control. It stood still and allowed the huge waves of fate to swallow it.


    Bang!


    The sea monster''s fist hit Kaiyuan''s shoulder, and the huge force made it sink like broken ss.


    The sea monster followed up with a tail whip and sent Kaiyuan''s huge "brain" flying far away.


    This was too tragic!


    Everyone near the scene covered their eyes and retreated unwittingly. They felt deep sorrow.


    It was truly heartbreaking, and they could not look at what was happening!


    Kaiyuan was widely known as their country''s first mech, and it once held the people''s endless hopes and dreams. Now, it was being wantonly humiliated by sea monsters.


    The most heartbreaking thing was how the whole event was unfolding before everyone. Mainstream media from the whole were broadcasting it live, and viewers everywhere witnessed the tragedy.


    Such a degree of humiliation was historic!


    The old man with the white beard, Carter, suddenly covered his stomach and pretended to have a stomachache. He fled the scene, and it was truly embarrassing.


    The officers there were also ashen and speechless. They knew that things had blown up in their face and they could not exin it to their superiors.


    At this moment, they were anxiously looking for a scapegoat. In the end, they pointed the finger at the chief designer, Carter. After all, he designed Kaiyuan!


    However, the brutal ughter was not over yet.


    The sea monster had yet to vent its anger. It waved its heavy fists in a frenzy and hit Kaiyuan repeatedly.


    Bang bang bang!


    The pitiful mech could not withstand the powerful force. Electricity flickered all over its body, and cracks instantly appeared on its shell. Then, its entire bodypletely shattered.


    Boom...


    Kaiyuan exploded instantly. The shattered remains of the mech scattered in the sky before it turned into a pile of ruins in the sea.


    "Hahaha! They''ve be aughing stock. They had the audacity to name it Kaiyuan, only for it to be humiliated by the sea monster. How shameful!"


    At this point, the Chinese citizens andizens from all over the world started to mock them.


    It was not easy to make a mech. It did not matter if they had a model.


    They were unable to fight the sea monsters!


    Then, the globalwork signal was suddenly cut off, and someone immediately tried to clear the scene.


    They reigned in the mainstream media outlets and banned them from continuing their report on the incident.


    Just like that, the hrious farce quickly ended.


    The entire world was now well aware that only China had the ability to create mechs that could contend with sea monsters.


    The crowd finally understood how difficult it had been for China''s mechs.


    "Wu Mo, after seeing how fragile their mech is, I truly realize how powerful Battle God and Zero are!" A dignified officer patted Wu Mo''s shoulder and said with a smile.


    "They''re not just powerful, they''re currently the most powerful in existence! The integration of human and machine has made them invincible!" Another valiant officer could not help butugh.


    Wu Mo nodded and did not say much. At this moment, he was worried about the mech''s production process.


    Once the second mech was released, Wu Mo would select the most outstanding student from the mech training school and ce him under piloting simtion training.


    That way, Wu Mo would be able to bring faith to China''s people.


    Everyone could be a hero, and everyone had the chance to save the world!

 Chapter 526 Sky-High Costs

    Many young boys had dreams of bing heroes since they were young. They joined mech training schools early on and took formal courses alongside mech training.


    They viewed it as a lifelong career because one could only be a hero to the masses by working as an outstanding mech pilot.


    It was worth mentioning that many academies regarded mech piloting as a special skill, and they would even give bonus points during the examinations.


    A craze for learning about mechs was set off in the whole of China, and it even spread overseas.


    However, a foreign journalistter published a report in an influential magazine.


    ording to the report, China already had advanced mech that could integrate humans and machines. They should take the initiative to provide Battle God''s all-purpose module to benefit the world.


    However, when he made this argument, many people cursed him endlessly and thought that he was extremely shameless.


    This all-purpose module had been developed by China. Why should it be shared with the whole world?


    Of course, many people had the same idea. They believed that the main reason for their country''s inability to manufacture a mech was theck of a universal module.


    They lost control of Kaiyuan because the core module''s quality had not been up to par.


    If they could obtain Battle God''s core module, the mech''s intelligence and automation would reach a higher level. It could even automatically activate an evasive program when it encountered danger!


    However, the all-purpose module was extremely challenging to produce from a technical aspect. Very few countries could figure it out. Until today, they still could not manufacture high-level mechs.


    "Wu Mo, public opinion is rising out there. They''re all hoping that you''ll take the initiative to make the all-purpose module avable."


    At this moment, the old chief approached Wu Mo for a private chat.


    Wu Mo smiled and shook his head.


    Of course, he had seen the reports. Besides, many countries had issued so-called alliance invitations in an attempt to force China to sell its technology module.


    "Chief, if they keep insisting, we''ll sell it to them!" Wu Mo suddenly said.


    "What? Wu Mo, are you sure? You n on selling them the technology for this all-purpose module?"


    The old chief found it unbelievable. This technology would be considered top-secret in any country, and it could never be sold to the outside world.


    Decades or even centuries ago, other countries had restricted China and prevented it from obtaining authorization for certain top-notch technologies. Hence, its people could only rely on others.


    Now, however, China had such top-notch technology, and it was leading the world. Why would they sell it?


    Once they sold it and the others controlled it, would China not lose its strongest advantage?


    However, Wu Mo said, "It''s not a problem, Chief. They''ll develop this all-purpose module technology sooner orter. It''s just a matter of time. We can make a fortune now before they seed in their research and development."


    After a pause, Wu Mo continued passionately, "Furthermore, we should pursue continuous technological advancement and innovation instead of indulging in the results of the past! I''ve developed an even more advanced module, which will act as our super smart control system. This system is even more precious than the module!"


    When the old chief heard this, the worry in his heart gradually dissipated. So, that was the case.


    Wu Mo had already developed a more advanced technology, so there was no harm in selling the all-purpose module.


    As long as China''s technology was always ahead of the rest, that was enough!


    "Wu Mo, how much are you nning to sell it for?" The old chief raised another important question.


    After all, they had to listen to Wu Mo''s opinion on the price.


    Wu Mo pondered for a moment and said with a firm expression, "Let''s sell it for two billion per module!"


    Two billion?


    The old chief was shocked because it was such an exorbitant price!


    "Wu Mo, are you confident that other countries will ept this price?" The old chief smiled bitterly.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Two billion for an all-purpose module. It was indeed a staggering price.


    If the cost of materials to make a mech was only so much, would the price of this module not exceed the cost of the entire mech?


    "Two billion is definitely worth it," Wu Mo said confidently. "Without this module, the thing they built was just a decoration. It will only be a mech with this module. If they don''t want to buy it, then so be it!"


    Indeed, if they did not want to buy it, then they did not have to buy it. It was simple logic.


    The old chief smiled bitterly and nodded in agreement. He immediately sent people to negotiate with those countries that were interested in purchasing the universal module.


    "What? Two billion per module?


    When the people responsible for purchasing the module for their country heard the news, they were shocked.


    "Two billion for a module. Isn''t China asking for too much?"


    The buyers from some countries were indignant, and they used China of being greedy.


    Meanwhile, the person in charge of the negotiations from China sneered.


    "Hehe, it''s up to you. In any case, if the sea monsters destroy any of your cities, your losses will cost more!"


    His words hit the nail on the head and instantly made the other party speechless.


    That''s right. If a city suffered a devastating blow, it would cost several dozen billion yuan to rebuild it. What was two billion?


    Furthermore, with a mech, they would have the capital to fight the sea monsters. They would benefit from it permanently.


    No matter what, China''s stance was firm. Whether anyone was willing to purchase it or not, the all-purpose module was there. It would not be going anywhere!


    However, if they were unwilling to pay the price of two billion, they would never obtain it.


    Before long, a representative from a country in the far end of the continent appeared. Although this country did not have arge territory, it was extremely rich.


    They were rich in oil and rare minerals, so money was not an issue.


    Therefore, they did not hesitate to spend four billion to buy two all-purpose modules at once!


    Such generosity secretly surprised the other countries. After all, this country did not need mechs!


    They were not a coastal country. If the sea monsters started attacking their territory, the entire continent would be in danger.


    On top of that, this country bought two all-purpose modules at once. Was it not a waste?


    As such, other countries immediately condemned its actions.


    However, the country''s spokesperson said that they wanted to stock up on two modules just in case.


    Besides, the all-purpose module contained many high-tech elements. Their research team wanted to study it to improve the country''s overall scientific research level.


    Once they gave their reason, the other countries fell silent.


    Not long after, a coastal country spent two billion to buy the all purpose module as well!


    With this module, they could now develop a real mech.


    Although their mech might not be as powerful as Battle God or Zero, it would definitely be a true mech with the ability to fight against sea monsters.


    Everything was difficult at first. As long as someone took the lead, other countries would naturally follow suit.


    As expected, one country after another began to purchase the all-purpose modules from China.


    An officer was in charge of coordinating the matter. He went to theboratory and nervously asked, "Wu Mo, fifteen countries are eyeing the all-purpose module, and we''ve earned ten billion so far! But do you have an unlimited supply?"

 Chapter 527 Something Pricy Will Still Be Snatched Up

    They were going to earn thirty billion in just three days, which was crazy!


    Hence, continuous supply of Wu Mo''s all-purpose modules became an urgent problem.


    "No problem, I''ll handle the modules," Wu Mo said thoughtfully. "But now, we have to raise the price. Two billion is too cheap!"


    What the hell?!


    Cheap?


    The officer widened his eyes in disbelief.


    Two billion per module was supposed to be cheap?


    However, since it came from Wu Mo''s mouth, he would listen to his arrangements.


    "In that case, how much do you n on selling it now?" the officer asked tentatively.


    Wu Mo held up five fingers without hesitation.


    "What? Five billion?"


    That''s right, five billion.


    Since countries had already purchased it, they would soon discover its magic.


    When that happened, two billion yuan would probably be a steal.


    If he did not raise the price now, when would be the best time?


    He was not raising the price on the spot. After all, the right to buy was still in the hands of others.


    Wu Mo could operate his exclusive business however he wanted.


    It was normal to raise prices, especially when production was difficult.


    In reality, it was a win-win situation for Wu Mo.


    Every time he sold a module and it was installed in a mech, he would receive a generous amount of points.


    He could foresee that in the future, every country in the world would have at least one mech with a built-in all-purpose module.


    At that time, mechs would sweep the sea monsters off the.


    In the process, his system points would shoot up into the sky like a rocket!


    "We have to speed things up! We''re going too slow!"


    Wu Mo realized that he was not making the all-purpose modules as fast as before. The reason was that he had been spending a huge number of points to develop the mech with human-machine integration.


    However, with itspletion, he believed that the speed of all-purpose module production would definitely increase.


    Not long after, Wu Mopleted another ten modules.


    However, after they made the five-billion-yuan price tag public, the world was shocked!


    "Heavens! What the hell is China doing? Are they blinded by the temptation of money?"


    "That''s right! Five billion? What are they thinking? Why don''t they just rob us?"


    "Haha, this is even more ruthless than robbery! You can choose to buy it or not, but many countries have already bought it. Would the rest be bold enough to miss out?"


    They were preying on such helplessness. The others had already bought it, so one would suffer losses if one did not buy it too!


    However, buying the same thing as the others was going to cost them an extra three billion!


    Therefore, the countries that did not purchase it in the first round gritted their teeth in hatred and regret.


    Why had they not acted decisively back then?


    Now, it was five billion yuan!


    Panic began to fill their hearts. If they did not buy it now, would it rise to ten billion?


    The price of the all-purpose module would only rise and not fall.


    In the end, if other countries were equipped with mechs while their own country was helpless before the sea monsters, what should they do?


    Would they have to ask other countries for help?


    Thus, an unimaginable thing happened: Wu Mo doubled the number of all-purpose modules, but the number of countries that purchased them increased drastically as well.


    In the blink of an eye, fifty countries responded in session andpeted to buy it!


    "Hahaha, Wu Mo, you''re a business genius! We''ve received 250-billion-yuan''s worth of orders in an instant. It''s unbelievable!"


    An ecstatic officer went straight to theboratory.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Wu Mo smiled and nodded. This was exactly what he had expected.


    Right then, he was surprised to find that with support from the system points, his speed in creating all-purpose modules had increased greatly!


    At this rate, every country could have at least one module.


    He believed that some countries had tasted the sweetness of the all-purpose module and would definitely buy it again.


    Since coastal countries had long coastlines, one mech was far from enough.


    Three mechs were not enough to cover China''s southeastern coast, so Wu Mo was always developing mechs with human-machine integration.


    Simrly, other countries would continue to develop their second and third mechs once their first ones were sessfully developed. Therefore, they needed more all-purpose modules!


    This meant that Wu Mo''s business could continue until the market was almost saturated.


    ...


    A monthter, a coastal country excitedly announced to the world that they had finally developed a real mech!


    After actualbat testing, this mech could defeat a strong enemy that was ranked thirtieth on the sea monster list.


    This news shocked the entire world!


    After China''s mech, another country had sessfully developed abat mech.


    When Kaiyuan was brought up again, everyone could not help but shake their heads andugh.


    Although Kaiyuan was famous, it was just a steel box that had been turned into scrap metal by a sea monster.


    However, this newly-developed mech could be considered a truebat machine.


    Although it was not as powerful as Battle God and Zero, it was more than sufficient to deal with ordinary sea monsters.


    This was enough for the coastal country because the threats it faced from abroad were not big. The sea monsters that asionally invaded were ordinary.


    After it had a taste of the benefits, the country immediately purchased five more all-purpose modules to manufacture five mechs.


    "This business is huge! If they''re asking for five at once, won''t they have six mechs?"


    When the officer learned of this, he immediately went to see Wu Mo.


    "If there''s a demand, we''ll supply. I can provide as much as they want!" Wu Mo was full of confidence.


    He was not worried that the number of mechs in these countries would surpass that of China.


    Their strength was rather low. Their crude manufacturing would not threaten Zero and Battle God, let alone China''s most advanced human-machine integrated mech.


    Therefore, Wu Mo raised the all-purpose module''s price to six billion; it was an increase of one billion.


    "What? Six billion?"


    When they learned that Wu Mo had raised the price again, the Chinese military officers felt a little guilty.


    However, it was Wu Mo''s decision, and they could only respect it.


    The country would now have to fork out an additional five billion to buy an all-purpose module.


    However, they did not hesitate to fork out thirty billion to buy five all-purpose modules, and they did not feel cheated at all.


    On the contrary, they happily imagined how the entire country would have six battle mechs in the near future.


    More importantly, they would be the second mech powerhouse after China. This made their country famous all over the world and attracted countless people to admire their mech.


    In response, other countries followed suit and yearned to own simr mechs to fight for the third, fourth, or fifth ce!


    At this critical point, Wu Mo decided to raise the price again.


    "Wu Mo, I''m afraid that you can''t keep raising the price. Some countries won''t be able to afford it!"


    When the old chief learned about it, he approached Wu Mo and spoke to him.


    Wu Mo pondered for a moment and replied, "Chief, the market for all-purpose modules ispletely open. We don''t have to worry about not being able to sell them. Countries with money will buy them, and those that can''t afford it will just watch."


    What a joke. Wu Mo had personally developed the module. If this was not a charity, why should he amodate their needs?


    Just as he said, if a country was powerful, it would buy the module. If it was not, it would not buy the model. It was that simple!


    Besides, who would not be willing to spend such a sum if they were facing a force that could topple a country?


    Some countries just preferred to take advantage of others instead of paying.


    Meanwhile, the all-purpose module, which was now priced at eight billion yuan, was snatched up. Forty countries ced orders one after another, and it was mind-boggling!

 Chapter 528 Mech Simulation Test

    "Oh my God, forty modules, each worth eight billion, a total of three hundred and twenty billion! Wu Mo, your modules can''t be sold for trillions, right?"


    The officer was extremely surprised because he had never experienced such an earth-shattering transaction!


    "A trillion isn''t out of reach. It''s even just around the corner!" Wu Mo was full of confidence.


    With the all-purpose modules bing widespread, the system''s benefits would be astonishing.


    At that time, he would be able to create even more human-machine fusion mechs.


    The mech training school was about to wee its first batch of outstanding students. At that time, they would be able to select a few to operate more mechs.


    Wu Mo''s universal module was a global hot seller, and about a hundred countries already had such an all-purpose module.


    Twenty of them had sessfully manufactured mechs, and many countries that were not close to the sea had joined in.


    Even though their industrial technology was still not mature enough to create a true mech, purchasing the all-purpose module was their only choice!


    At this moment, a dark current suddenly surged out of the wormhole at the bottom of the sea area in the southeast.


    The satellite surveince immediately detected an anomaly and quickly sent it to themand center.


    "Not good! Wu Mo, there seems to be an ident in the wormhole. We have to go and see what''s going on!"


    The rm sounded and everyone gathered in themand center. The screen showed a blurry scene of the underwater wormhole.


    Dark air currents were gushing out of the wormhole, so it was difficult to see.


    With high-definition electronic interference, they finally discovered the truth about the dark airflow.


    Suddenly, a pitch-ck w rose, and a huge body slowly followed.


    Everyone including Wu Mo gasped when they saw it.


    "Oh, my God, is it a ghost?!"


    It looked like a mythical creature, but an officer immediately denied this possibility. "No, we don''t know what kind of creature it is, but it has to be some unknown species. It''s definitely not a ghost!"


    Admitting that there were ghosts in the world was equivalent to denying today''s technology, which included military weapons. It would be aplete denial!


    Of course, Wu Mo knew that it could not be a real ghost, but this creature probably lived in some corner of the distant space and came from the other end of the wormhole.


    It could even be a few light years or even hundreds of light years away from the entire. Such distances weremonce on the scale of the universe!


    After a wormhole jump, it finallynded on the Blue.


    Then, it swam crazily at the bottom of the sea and stirred up huge waves with its huge body.


    Moreover, this guy emitted dark Yin energy all over its body. It had a shape simr to that of legendary evil ghosts, and people trembled in fear as a result.


    Everyone gave it a codename: the Dark Ghoul.


    After the Dark Ghoul appeared, everyone tried to specte how strong it was.


    Right then, the satellite positioning system showed that it was actually approaching the base on the southeastern coast!


    "What? Its trying to attack our base as soon as it appears? This guy is really bold!" an officer sneered.


    Then, he turned around and left themand center to set up a fire attack to kill the Dark Ghoul.


    However, the rm went off at this moment, and everyone looked at the screen in shock.


    On the satellite surveince screen, ck ghosts kept pouring out of the wormhole.


    These ghostly shadows were smaller than the Dark Ghoul, but their numbers were astonishing.


    They were like an endless ck torrent!


    "How is that possible? So many sea monsters were simr to that ghost?"<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Even Wu Mo found it hard to believe.


    At this moment, the speed of these ghostly shadows was getting increasingly fast, and they were like ghosts that could not be fathomed.


    A rough estimate indicated that there were already more than a few hundred of them, and their numbers were still rapidly increasing!


    "It''s broken through a thousand! If something bad happens, immediately sound the rm of the entiremand base and inform all departments to get ready. Move, move quickly!"


    The officers immediately took action. They knew that something big was about to happen.


    The wormhole explosion that Wu Mo had been worried about had finally arrived.


    Previously, they had closely monitored the wormhole and found that the speed at which sea monsters were produced was getting faster and faster.


    Fortunately, these sea monsters had appeared alone before, so China could still deal with them.


    Now, there seemed to be an entire race or a certain team on the other side of the wormhole that had discovered the wormhole and were rushing over.


    The exciting moment had finally arrived. Wu Mo was extremely anxious because the second mech with man-machine integration was notpleted yet.


    With that in mind, Wu Mo quickly returned to the research base and devoted himself to the final stage of the production of the second man-machine integration mech.


    The mech''s outer shell was almostplete. It was simr to the first mech''s, but its core smart control system was more advanced.


    This kind of super intelligent piloting mode had extremely high requirements for the pilot. If he couldpletely adapt to it and achieve the realm of human-machine integration with the mech, the power he could unleash would be even more powerful!


    At this moment, the first batch of students from the mech training school had finally graduated. Five outstanding students were sent to the research base for Wu Mo to select.


    Wu Mo asked the five of them some general knowledge questions about mechs, and all five of them answered fluently without making any mistakes.


    Once could see that these five people had studied seriously and diligently in the academy. The overall learning atmosphere was also quite good.


    Cadets who were able to sessfully graduate from the mech training school knew everything about mechs like the back of their hands!


    "Now that you''ve passed the basic knowledge test, the next test will be your mech piloting skills."


    After Wu Mo finished speaking, the five students followed him to a simtionboratory with respect and anticipation.


    Theboratory wasn''t big, but there were a few pieces of equipment that resembled massage chairs.


    The five students were arranged to sit on chairs, and an operation interface and an LCD screen appeared before them.


    Suddenly, a roaring sea monster appeared on the screen and slowly rose.


    The five students immediately used the operating system in front of them and defeated the sea monster as if they were piloting a mech!


    The five of them tensed up and then immediately calmed down. They took a deep breath and concentrated on the operation of the ss.


    The operation interface had a controller, buttons, and a heat sensor system. Various types of operationsbined to form aplex operating system that was not easy for anyone to control.


    However, these five people were all outstanding student representatives. It did not take long for them to sessfully operate the simted mech and defeat the sea monster.


    "Hehe, this is just the beginning! "Wu Mo chuckled.


    Then, three sea monsters suddenly appeared on the screen, attacking the mech from three directions.


    In an instant, the foreheads of the five students were covered in sweat, and the pressure on them multiplied.


    However, they gritted their teeth and forced themselves to remain calm as they engaged in a fierce battle with the sea monster.


    About ten minutester, three of the students sessfully defeated three sea monsters.


    The other two students were caught by the sea monster in the simted battle, and their mechs werepletely dismantled.


    Regrettably, these two people were eliminated, and the winner would be chosen from the remaining three.


    The two students who had been eliminated looked dejected. They realized that they would not be able to be mech pilots for a long time.

 Chapter 529 Outstanding Representative, Dongfang Moyu

    As for the remaining three students, they cherished the opportunity of the next round even more and secretly estimated the number of sea monsters in the next round.


    Immediately after, ten sea monsters jumped out in session and slowly approached in a straight line.


    The three students widened their eyes in fear, but they knew that there was no way out now. They could only defeat all the sea monsters before them.


    "D*mn it! Kill... Kill them!


    "One of the students seemed a little excited as he frantically pressed one button after another.


    The mech he controlled charged rapidly on the simtion screen. Its body trembled, and the saber in its hand danced in disarray. It was a mess.


    This meant that the pilot had lost his mind.


    Otherwise, this mech would not be moving so messily.


    His movements seemed fast, but they were somewhat distorted.


    Under such circumstances, if one could not urately aim at the monster''s fatal parts, a single sh would be full of ws, and it would be easy for these monsters to find an opportunity to counterattack.


    Seeing this person''s performance, Wu Mo shook his head in disappointment.


    Nevertheless, it was understandable.


    The pressure of ten monsters was extremely terrifying.


    Moreover, these people knew that they were undergoing a test. Only the top scorer could be a true mech pilot.


    It was too much pressure for a young man to bear.


    "Oh, this person is not bad!"


    Suddenly, Wu Mo noticed that one of the students was performing exceptionally well.


    This student had an indifferent expression and appeared calm. He was not nervous at all when facing the sea monster.


    His eyes shone with determination and sharpness. He calmly analyzed the characteristics of the ten monsters before him to identify which were fast and which were slow.


    This student quickly finished off the faster monsters before he pulled away and killed the slower ones one by one.


    This ingenious tactic allowed him to sessfully kill several monsters, and he was about to destroy all the sea monsters.


    ''Not bad, not bad at all!''


    Seeing this, Wu Mo praised the student in his heart.


    This student''s performance made him seem even stronger than Hong Peng. He might be the most outstanding member in the mech training school.


    Finally, the current round of tests ended.


    Out of thest three students, only the student that Wu Mo had his eyes on sessfully killed all the sea monsters.


    As for the other two, one was beaten to death by the sea monsters, while the other was defeated by the remaining seven after killing three sea monsters.


    Wu Mo was certain that this outstanding student had a great chance of bing the next mech pilot.


    This calm and collected fellow was the winner.


    "What''s your name?" Wu Mo asked.


    Hearing Wu Mo ask for his name, the student finally became excited. This was an emotion that never appeared when he faced the sea monster.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, my name is Dongfang Moyu. I''m seventeen years old , and my dream is¡ª"


    "Alright, alright,e with me!"


    Wu Mo interrupted the boy before bringing him to another room.


    "Do you see it? This is the mech you need to pilot."


    Wu Mo pointed at a transparent tempered ss container in the room and spoke to Dongfang Moyu.


    Dongfang Moyu stared at it carefully and instantly revealed a look of iparable anticipation.


    On the other side of the ss cabin, there was a huge mech lying quietly in the huge workshop. It was like a sleeping steel beast.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    However, Dongfang Moyu knew very well that the moment this mech was activated, it would unleash an astonishing amount of power. When he and the mech reached a perfect harmony, this power would skyrocket, or even double!


    "You can rest assured, Chief Engineer Wu! I will definitely control this mech well and live up to everyone''s expectations!" Dongfang Moyu said firmly to Wu Mo.


    "Very good. You have to understand that in the sea, those sea monsters can go crazy at any time! It''s easy to lose yourself in a bloody massacre. You have to be prepared at all times to face more difficult challenges!" Wu Mo warned.


    Immediately after, he announced to the outside world that the pilot of the second mech had been confirmed. He was the outstanding representative of the first batch of graduates from the mech training school, Dongfang Moyu.


    Once the news was released, it immediately attracted the attention of the media.


    The whole of China and even the entire world was in an uproar. Everyone wanted to find out exactly how capable this second mech pilot was, to be able to take on such a crucial position.


    After all, there were millions of people learning how to pilot mechs in China.


    This person had to possess something extraordinary to stand out among so many people.


    His mech did not have aplicated debut ceremony.


    This was because when they confirmed that the pilot was Dongfang Moyu, they had already received an emergency message from the front line!


    Due to the massive explosion of the underwater wormhole, there were reports of ghostly sea beasts appearing in various ces. They were attacking coastal cities non-stop.


    The worst-case had ten sea monsters destroy a small coastal city and head ind.


    However, after encountering the small nuclear missile armed forces on the maind, they retreated back to the sea in embarrassment.


    These monsters had underestimated the strength of the Chinese soldiers, hence they had been incredibly arrogant.


    Now, they probably dared not act rashly. They were only bold enough tounch surprise attacks from time to time in the sea!


    At this moment, the Dark Ghouls also appeared and attacked the devastated Dongzhou.


    Dongzhou fate was like the changing winds and clouds of the world; it was up and down!


    As a transportation hub, the core city had been repeatedly attacked by sea monsters.


    The Dual-de Sea Monsters and the army of Sea Monster Kings had caused heavy damage to the city, and now, the Dark Ghouls saw it as a new prey.


    When the news spread, the whole of China became nervous.


    Wu Mo immediately ordered Dongfang Moyu to pilot the mech to Dongzhou and support the rest.


    At the same time, Hong Peng led his mech to engage in a fierce battle with another sea monster on another battlefield.


    This sea monster was the number one sea monster on the new list, the legendary Troll.


    It was nearly a thousand meters tall and was thergest sea monster ever discovered.


    After days of tracking, it finally revealed a w!


    Hong Peng maneuvered his human-machine integrated mech to execute a decapitation.


    Battle God still had no chance of winning against its old enemy. It could only support the attack from the side.


    Hong Peng was in charge of fighting the Troll head-on.


    "Come on, let me enjoy this battle!"


    Hong Peng''s lips curled into a cold smile, and his eyes flickered with killing intent.


    He operated the mech like an outstanding martial artist in a dojo. His shoulders were slightly lowered, and his hands were waving freely.


    The mech swung its de and retreated quickly to dodge the Troll''s tail attack!


    Such a huge monster seemed so slow before the mech.


    At this moment, Battle God was watching the battle from the side. Hong Peng was controlling his mech and toying with the Troll.


    Kacha!


    Hong Peng seized the opportunity and controlled his mech to stab forward.


    This sh was extremely sharp, and it tore the Troll''s stomach apart. Its internal organs and intestines spilled out and dyed the entire sea green.

 Chapter 530 Dark Ghoul

    "Oh, my God, what a revolting smell!"


    Hong Peng felt unprecedented disgust.


    Even though he was in the mech''s control room, the nauseating smell still prated the steel and rushed straight into his nose.


    The furious Hong Peng instantly activated the high-pressure water guns in the mech''s chest, and they started shooting.


    Hong Peng was ecstatic as he watched the water surge against the stench in the air and gradually disperse the foul smell.


    The dozens of high-pressure water guns gathered and formed a powerful attack. As such, the Troll''s wounds quickly grew bigger.


    Awoo...


    The Troll let out a miserable howl, and its voice was filled with despair.


    After all, the huge wounds hurt incredibly.


    The Troll was trying to turn around and escape, but the pain from its wound made it extremely slow.


    Seizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Hong Peng soared into the sky like a martial arts expert.


    After the hugepound spring inside the mech waspressed to the limit, it released an extremely shocking force. It sprang the mech, which weighed a hundred tons, into the air.


    Then, Hong Peng joined his hands tightly together, and the mech''s steel arms transformed into a wless battle de as it shed at the giant monster in the air!


    Whoosh...


    With a sh, a huge gash appeared on the Troll''s head. The gash continued to expand until its body split in half.


    The immense pain rendered the Troll speechless. It fell to the surface of the water and struggled to rise.


    "Victory! Hong Peng won! His mech piloting skills have seemingly improved to another level!"


    At this moment, the officers in themand center cheered for Hong Peng excitedly.


    Wu Mo was also surprised. He did not expect Hong Peng''s mech piloting skills to reach such a high level so soon.


    It was worth mentioning that it was still unknown whether Hong Peng or Dongfang Moyu''s skills were stronger.


    Even Wu Mo was eager to test it. He wanted to see who was the best mech pilot in the world.


    Although Hong Peng''s battle hade to an end, he still needed to pay attention to Dongfang Moyu''s performance. It would reveal whose mech piloting skills were superior.


    Right then, Wu Mo checked the system store and unexpectedly found a Divine-grade mech piloting chip.


    As long as one purchased the chip and imnted it into his brain, one would be able to instantly master the most powerful mech piloting techniques in the universe!


    "Oh, there''s such a magical item. Let''s see how much it costs!" Wu Mo said in surprise.


    However, the chip only cost a thousand points. Wu Mo could not help butugh. "It''s so cheap even though it''s such a good item. This doesn''t seem like the system''s style!"


    Despite some doubts, Wu Mo still bought the chip without hesitation.


    Then, he fused with the chip without hesitation.


    The A. I. chip turned into a ball of green light and instantly entered his brain.


    Wu Mo suddenly felt the muscle memory in his body change drastically!


    In a short moment, he could clearly see every detail of the mech''s operating system. He instantly grasped how toplete the most perfect, top-notch, and impable maneuvers!


    One should know that although Hong Peng''s current operating skills were considered superb, he was not the best of the best.


    Besides, there was still perfection above the peak. Anything above perfection was just extreme.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Only when one reached the pinnacle could one disy all kinds of gorgeous maneuvers as he wished and achieve human-machine integration!


    Since Wu Mo had fused with the Divine-grade chip, he had instant ess to extreme operating techniques.


    With the chip''s memory, Wu Mo could even tell if another pilot needed improvement from his actions.


    As Wu Mo searched for the limits of this mysterious power, he could visualize every sh being executed. Whether it was in terms of details or strength, everything was perfect.


    However, despite having this extraordinary skill, he did not have a mech that he could pilot.


    His heart was in turmoil. He yearned to build a mech with a distinct personality and fight fiercely with the sea monsters.


    Wu Mo was well aware of his situation. The mech he developed would definitely incorporate many personal styles.


    It was not because he had selfish motives to make the mech more advanced. He just wanted to add some unique elements to make it more human-like and closer to the pilot''s thinking as well as behavior.


    Right then, the Dark Ghoul finally revealed its true appearance. Dongfang Moyu guided his mech to slowly dive into the sea and advance forward with courage.


    Dongfang Moyu''s heart was filled with intertwining strife, anxiety, and excitement.


    This was his first time diving into the depths of the sea and engaging in a fierce battle with a terrifying sea monster!


    Ever since the sea monsters roamed the seas, Dongfang Moyu only had one dream: Pilot a mech and kill those demons that threatened humanity.


    Now, this dream had finally be a reality. He was so excited that he could not hold it in!


    However, despite his excitement and nervousness, Dongfang Moyu did not lose his rationality.


    He calmly observed the Dark Ghoul before him and carefully controlled his mech to approach it step by step.


    Suddenly, the Dark Ghoul opened its terrifying mouth and shot out a mysterious triangrser beam.


    Wu Mo, who was in themand center, immediately sensed that something was wrong.


    He had never seen such a powerful Dark Ghoul before!


    The beam of light was no small matter. Dongfang Moyu''s ability to adapt would determine whether he could dodge it or not.


    In truth, Dongfang Moyu was also rather shocked when he saw this scene.


    Nevertheless, he quickly calmed down and maneuvered his mech to the side.


    Theser beam shed past like a bolt of lightning. Dongfang Moyu''s mech was almost hit, and the huge beam disappeared into the distant horizon.


    The people in themand center eximed in shock as they watched theser beam hit something hundreds of kilometers away.


    This powerful energy made their hair stand on end, and the mysterious origins of the Dark Ghouls made them shudder.


    Wu Mo''s thoughts started running through his mind. He was reminded of extraterrestrials, a mystery that humans in the vast universe yearned to reveal.


    Every country dreamed of making a breakthrough in this field. Wu Mo''s superb attainments in biotechnology made him yearn for it too.


    The Dark Ghoul''s attacks were as ferocious as thunder. It suddenlyunched a violent charge and waved its giant ws that resembled the Grim Reaper''s scythe. It struck Dongfang Moyu''s mech ruthlessly.


    At this moment, Wu Mo feared for Dongfang Moyu. Although he trusted Dongfang Moyu''s piloting skills, he was still worried that the boy would not be able to maintain hisposure on such a battlefield.


    Dongfang Moyu guided his mech to jump back and dodged the Dark Ghoul''s attack like a nimble cheetah.


    Its sharp ws only left a mark on the mech''s outer shell, but they did not cause any damage to the inside.


    Right then, Dongfang Moyu''s mech moved like an ancient divine weapon that had just escaped from danger. It immediately counterattacked by brandishing its twin sabers as the missileuncher in its chest fired at the same time.


    The dense missiles then bombarded the Dark Ghoul continuously like a raging inferno.

 Chapter 531 Losing Control Of The Mechs

    Wu Mo''s predictions had been urate. The missiles were aimed at the Dark Ghoul''s eyes, which tended to be the weak point of many creatures.


    However, the attack only made the Dark Ghoul even more furious and violent.


    The Dark Ghoul kept letting out deafening roars, and it sounded like heaven''s wrath was traveling in all directions. The sound waves from the roars quickly spread across the surface of the sea and disappeared into the depths.


    ording to thetest monitoring equipment, the sound waves traveled faster and farther on the water''s surface. A tense atmosphere soon filled themand center.


    "This is bad. It''s calling for backup!"


    One of the officers made an urate judgment of the situation.


    The Dark Ghoul did not roar just to vent its anger; it was calling out to its fellow ghouls.


    When they thought of the several hundred ghoulish sea monsters that had emerged from the wormhole, an ominous feeling welled up in their hearts.


    Wu Mo immediately used the long-range interference system to warn Dongfang Moyu, "Be careful! There might be other sea monstersing!"


    Dongfang Moyu heard Wu Mo''s warning, and a resolute light shed in his eyes. He knew that there might be other sea monsters rushing over to aid the Dark Ghoul.


    However, he was full of confidence, so he decided to maneuver his mech to kill the Dark Ghoul before him.


    "Kill!" Dongfang Moyu roared furiously and took a big step forward.


    The two sabers in the mech''s hands danced like phantoms and shed out in quick session.


    Dongfang Moyu and Hong Peng hadpletely different styles.


    Hong Peng''s mech was as agile as an ape, and hisbat techniques were skillful.


    Meanwhile, Dongfang Moyu was like a cold swordsman. His de techniques were iparably swift and fierce. As such, his mech''s de left numerous shadows, which were difficult to catch.


    As expected, the Dark Ghoul was covered in wounds following Dongfang Moyu''s fierce dual-de attack.


    However, a cunning smile suddenly appeared on the Dark Ghoul''s face.


    Immediately after, two terrifying triangr rays shot out from its pupils, and they pierced through the mech''s outer shell.


    "What? How is this possible?"


    Dongfang Moyu never thought that the Dark Ghoul would still be able to shoot out triangr rays from its eyes at such a critical moment.


    Despite that, he was not afraid because his mech could still move.


    "Die!" Dongfang Moyu shouted furiously.


    He promptly pushed a lever, and the mech''s two des danced like a storm. They instantly formed a sharp de and tridentbo that smashed toward the enemy.


    Just then, Dongfang Moyu suddenly sensed a few sea monsters rushing toward them from hundreds of meters deep in the sea. He could see them through the panoramic surveince inside the mech.


    "Oh, no! I have to retreat immediately!"


    Dongfang Moyu''s mind was spinning rapidly. He clearly understood that if he did not retreat quickly, he would not be able to escape.


    One should know that once the mech was trapped there, he would not be able to escape!


    Without hesitation, Dongfang Moyu maneuvered his mech and sped toward the shore.


    However, at this moment, the sound of surging waves rose from the sea around him.


    Hula!


    Many sea monsters that resembled the Dark Ghoul but were slightly smaller emerged from the water. At a nce, there were more than thirty of them.


    "This is not good. Send reinforcements immediately!"


    Wu Mo, who was in themand center, felt his heart tremble.


    Reinforcements arrived very quickly! Hong Peng had already killed the Troll and was rushing over.


    It''s worth mentioning that Hong Peng''s previous battle location was extremely close to Dongfang Moyu''s. Thus, he could swim directly to his next location without much water resistance.


    Due to his rapid travel speed, Hong Peng''s mech came into view in less than half an hour.


    At this point, Dongfang Moyu''s mech was riddled with injuries. Many parts of its outer shell were damaged, while the core control system was partially damaged.


    Plenty of electricity was flowing out of the wires, and there were exploding sparks. It was in danger.


    Seeing this, Hong Peng''s heart tightened.


    However, he activated the high-densityser in his mech without hesitation.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Beams of light streaked across the sky like sharp arrows and instantly killed a few sea monsters.


    When Wu Mo saw this, he realized that the defense of these sea monsters was far inferior to that of the Dark Ghoul.


    He assumed that these sea monsters were most likely ordinary members of their tribe. As for the Dark Ghoul, it was either their leader or a monster that was higher up in the hierarchy.


    Seeing that theser was effective, Hong Peng quickly fired more high-densityser beams while he approached Dongfang Moyu.


    "Hurry up and get over here. I''ll cover you!" Hong Peng shouted through his mech''smunication device.


    His voice echoed in Dongfang Moyu''s control room.


    Right then, Dongfang Moyu was drenched in sweat.


    Although he had excellent mental fortitude, fear seemed inevitable when he was injured and surrounded by so many sea monsters.


    He was overjoyed when Hong Peng rushed over to support him. He gritted his teeth and moved his mech forward!


    At this moment, his mech charged forth like a mighty excavator and swept two of the sea monsters aside.


    However, the number of sea monsters was increasing. Right now, there were close to a hundred of them, and their ferocious eyes seemed to harbor deep hatred for the two mechs.


    Boom!


    The sea monsters attacked in unison. Each of them condensed a lightning-like substance and threw it at the two mechs!


    "D*mn it! These guys can create lightning?"


    The two mech pilots never expected this.


    When so many sea monsters could create lightning, the terrifying power they produced was shocking!


    Dense bolts of lightning descended from the sky and stunned everyone in themand center.


    Not long after, Dongfang Moyu''s mech suffered even more serious damage, and its movements grew increasingly slow. Clearly, its control system had been severely damaged.


    "I can''t take it anymore. I can feel my control over the mech getting weaker and weaker. If this continues, I''ll lose control sooner orter!"


    Dongfang Moyu finally started panicking. He quickly turned to Hong Peng for help.


    Hong Peng pondered for a moment and said without hesitation, "In that case, follow me. I''ll bring you to the shore!"


    "Great!"


    Dongfang Moyu immediately nodded and merged with Hong Peng''s mech.


    With that, Hong Peng waved his arms like a brave warrior as he broke the waves and defeated one sea monster after another by releasing high-densityser beams.


    However, the Dark Ghoul suddenly condensed a triangr beam and attempted to sneak in an attack.


    Shua!


    The beam brushed past the head of Hong Peng''s mech and left a hole there.


    Fortunately, Wu Mo had already predicted such attacks on the mech''s head, so he had strengthened its protection.


    The beam only prated the filling material and did not damage the core controls.


    Kill! Kill! Kill!


    Hong Peng''s murderous intent grew more and more resolute. His mech continued to defeat the sea monsters and gradually approached the shore.


    Even though Dongfang Moyu was injured, he still tried his best to maneuver his mech to attack and support Hong Peng.


    At this moment, the two mech pilots were united against amon enemy. They marched forward bravely and ughtered the sea monsters as they gradually approached the shore.


    Eventually, they were only a hundred meters away from the shore.


    Unfortunately, the number of sea monsters grewrger andrger. They wentpletely ballistic andunched terrifying lightning attacks again!


    Rumble!


    Lightning descended like a violent tornado and shocked everyone!


    At this moment, the two mechs finally could not take it anymore. Their control systems were severely damaged, and the two pilots lost control of their mechs.


    "D*mn it! Why won''t it move?"

 Chapter 532 Building A New Mech

    Hong Peng and Dongfang Moyu were horrified to discover that many of the control buttons had malfunctioned.


    They could only control some of the auxiliary system''s devices, which were of no help to the mech''s movements.


    "Oh no, the mech has lost control. What should we do? Hurry up and ask themand center for instructions!"


    At this critical moment, the officers in themand center were sweating nervously.


    Wu Mo frowned and ordered decisively, "Immediately have the pilot activate the life-saving system, leave the mech cabin, and board the lifeboat!"


    Hearing Wu Mo''smand, the two pilots quickly activated the life-saving system.


    Wuchi Wuchi¡­


    The cockpit opened at lightning speed, and the two pilots jumped out from the thighs through a secret passageway inside the mech.


    Immediately after, the two lifeboats slid down from the mech''s calf joints and fell into the sea.


    The pilots quickly boarded the boats and headed for the shore.


    Perhaps because the two of them were too small, the sea monster did not notice them, so they sessfullynded on the shore.


    However, at this moment, a deafening explosion came from behind.


    "How could this be?"


    The two pilots stood at the port not far away and watched the scene in front of them with their mouths agape.


    The mes on the surface of the sea soared into the sky. The two mechs were already in pieces. Their huge bodies were twisted like fried dough twists as they floated on the surface of the sea.


    The sea monsters treated these mechs as targets to vent their hatred, and they crazily rushed forward to bite them.


    The mech that was once hailed as the pinnacle of China''s technology was now nothing but a pile of scrap metal.


    The two pilots who had been lucky enough to pilot it before felt endless sorrow in their hearts when they saw this scene.


    "No, it can''t be like this¡­"


    Dongfang Moyu found it hard to ept this reality, and his mood was on the verge of copse.


    To an excellent pilot, the mech they piloted was like a friend, a family member.


    Now that he saw his mech being destroyed by the monster, the pain in his heart was indescribable.


    "Sigh, we''ve already done our best. There''s nothing we can do about it."


    Hong Peng patted Dongfang Moyu''s shoulder andforted him.


    Just as Hong Peng had said, they had done their best, but the oue was still the same. Who could me them?


    No one wanted to face such a situation, but since it had already happened, they could only think of a way to deal with these terrifying sea monster legions.


    The number of sea monsters was increasing. There were already about 200 of them, and they were constantly attacking the coast. It seemed that they wanted to upy the entire Dongzhou today.


    "Oh, no, these despicable sea monsters seem to want to attack the ind!"


    An officer noticed this and immediately informed the armed firepower unit.


    The missiles were ready. As long as these guys dared tond, they would have a taste of the most terrifying firepower on the.


    However, at this critical moment, the Dark Ghoul suddenly let out a series of roars.


    It seemed to be telling the nsmen behind it not tond, but to turn around and disappear under the sea!


    Seeing this scene, everyone''s mood was indescribably heavy.


    Thend-based missile force was already prepared. They were just waiting for these guys toe ashore andpletely destroy them.


    However, the sudden disappearance of these sea monsters had put the humans in a passive position.


    " This group of sea monsters has a very clear status. The leader, Dark Ghoul, has extremely high intelligence. It seems that it is very difficult to deal with!"


    Everyone in themand center was in a heavy mood, especially Wu Mo.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Seeing the two human-machine fusion mech that he had personally developed destroyed, his heart was filled with mixed feelings.


    However, Wu Mo already had a cosmic level control chip. He had an idea.


    The next mech would be a mech that was more suitable for his personal operating habits.


    This meant that Wu Mo would be the pilot himself!


    As thend troops had scared off the sea monsters, the battle could onlye to an end.


    After Wu Mo returned to the researchb, he immediately began designing his own mech.


    This mech would be unparalleled. Every design and every detail would fit his heart.


    Wu Mo pondered for a moment and drew a design blueprint.


    He had poured his heart and soul into this design blueprint, presenting a perfectly shaped mech.


    On the back of the mech, there were two wings made of steel that pointed straight at the sky.


    The body of the mech seemed to be filled with power, and there was a small pilot cabin in the chest area.


    Although the operation interface was simple, it had all the functions.


    The thigh of the mech was thicker and more powerful. There were at least twenty kinds ofplicated mechanisms hidden in it, such as rescue system, emergency connection system, voice control system, and attack system.


    Afterpleting the design drawings, Wu Mo contacted some powerful steel smelters and secretly discussed the manufacturing of the shell mold with them.


    Wu Mo put forward a series of specific requirements, which made the person in charge of the factory quite puzzled.


    This was because, ording to the designs that they had coborated on before, be it Battle God, Zero, or the two mechs that could bebined with the machine, none of them had suchplicated requirements.


    However, this one was different.


    Even so, since it was Wu Mo''s request, they could only make it ording to the design.


    Under the leadership of Dongyang Smelter, severalrge smelters quickly began to produce these modules.


    Their speed was astonishing. With theirbined efforts, all the outer shell parts needed for this mech were manufactured.


    Wu Mo nodded in satisfaction after checking. "That''s right. Such a shell is hard and tough. The most rare thing is that its outer material can absorb most of the energy of light particles. In other words, if the triangr beam from before hit the outer shell of this mech, it''s very likely that it won''t even be able to break the outer shell."


    Next, the most important task was to imnt the internal chip and the super intelligent driving mode system.


    Wu Mo thought for a moment and directly selected a system with a personified personality from the system store.


    This system would record the various habits of the pilot as the pilot operated the mech for a longer period of time. These habits would then be formed into a driving memory through aputer chip, allowing the mech to better integrate with the human.


    Such a mech had consumed all of Wu Mo''s blood, sweat, and tears, so he had to give it a name!


    This mech would be the life mech of the ship, and it would y a huge role in future battles against sea monsters.


    After several days of hard work, this mech was finally born!


    In the towering steel warehouse, a mech stood tall. Its height was an astonishing 130 meters, bing the best among all the mech.


    Its eyes flickered with a deep light, and two pairs of wings grew on the back of its square head. Its entire body was unbelievably hard, emitting a daunting aura.


    "Give this mech a name! How about Divine Dragon?" Wu Mo suggested.


    Divine Dragon implied that it was a god who protected China!


    Wu Mo hoped that this mech could be the protector of China and bravely resist the invasion of all sea monsters.


    At this moment, shocking news came from the other side of the wormhole.


    A terrifying sea monster suddenly appeared and wiped out all the creatures within a hundred nautical miles.


    "How could such a powerful sea monster appear?"

 Chapter 533 Worse News

    After hearing the news, Wu Mo was shocked and immediately checked the surveince footage from before.


    The image showed a huge sea monster that looked like a cockroach.


    His thin body should not have been able to withstand the huge head and the two terrifying sickles.


    However, its structure waspletely different from the insects on Earth.


    It was as if it had vited thews of mechanics and be a mysterious unknown creature in space.


    "Thews of mechanics are thews that we humans havee up with," a physicist said. "They apply to Earth, but they may not apply to the entire universe."


    Everyone nodded in agreement.


    Just like how humans defined life elements as carbon-based, carbon-based life might not be the foundation of all life in the universe.


    Perhaps there were oxygen and silicon-based life forms on others. Everything was still unknown.


    On the screen, the terrifying mantis suddenly opened its triangr mouth and sucked all the nearby creatures back!


    Even a white shark was torn apart by this power, and blood sttered everywhere. It turned into a pile of shattered flesh and blood that entered the sea monster''s mouth.


    In an instant, the mantis devoured all the marine creatures within a hundred miles of the sea.


    Its body seemed to have be evenrger as a result, and then it flew into the distance!


    That''s right, it was flying, not swimming.


    At this moment, it spread its wings and flew high in the sea. Its speed was far faster than any sea monster they had seen before.


    Wu Mo looked at the entire scene with a heavy heart.


    He believed that everyone present was also feeling down!


    Now, there were huge changes in the wormhole. Arge number of powerful sea monsters had appeared, or some terrifying existence had been born.


    The level of the sea monsters that appeared now was obviously higher, far surpassing the Dual-de Sea Monster and the Sea Monster King.


    Compared to the sea monsters of today, the sea monsters of the past were like dull giants who could only y the role of being beaten up.


    "Let''s summarize the rankings of the sea monsters. There are a few powerful sea monsters that have be the focus of the world."


    The old chief personally presided over the meeting. Wu Mo, a few military officers, and a group of physicists and biologists gathered together.


    "The sea monster research center has already ranked this sea monster at the top of the list!"


    As the old general finished speaking, the huge body of the Dark Ghoul was disyed on the screen.


    "The signature attack of the ghouls is the rice-shaped triangr ray. The ray particles have not been thoroughly studied, but there is no doubt that it can prate the shell of our most advanced mech!"


    After the other officer finished his report, the venue fell into a dead silence.


    Previously, the destruction of the two human-machine integrated mechs had brought huge losses to China and shocked the entire world!


    There was no doubt about the strength of China''s mechs.


    If even this kind of mech could not withstand the beam attack of the Dark Ghoul, then the mechs of the other countries in the world would be even more vulnerable.


    After all, China was far ahead in terms of steel materials and exterior design.


    This was due to their deep industrial foundation and excellent metal manufacturing technology.


    After this battle, the other countries all restrained themselves and no longer dared to ce their beloved mechs near the coast.


    They immediately retreated and relied on the cover of the firepower unit to protect the mechs in the depths of the camp.


    Since the era of the sea monsters, the human territory had gradually shrunk. The sea monsters had the advantage, and it had evolved into a situation that caught people off guard.


    At this moment, Wu Mo had yet to announce the news of the Divine Dragon mech. The mechy quietly in the steel warehouse, covered by a piece of cloth.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "This sea monster has just appeared, and the Sea Monster Research Center has ranked it second!"


    As soon as the old chief finished speaking, the mantis sea monster appeared on the screen again.


    They had already built a model of it. Although the internal ecology had not been explored, the appearance was clear.


    This creature was shockingly simr to a cockroach, but with its size, its head shouldn''t be able to support its huge body!


    "The only exnation is that the bones of this mantis sea monster are extremely hard, enough to support its huge body!" a biologist firmly said.


    Everyone nodded. This was the only possibility.


    "Everyone! Other than these two terrifying sea monsters that could destroy mechs, there were three more sea monsters!"


    Following the old chief''s heavy words, the other three sea monsters appeared in front of everyone.


    One of them was simr to a mech, like a giant King Kong in a science fiction movie. Its lethality was terrifying, like an alien from a distant gxy!


    The other was hideous and terrifying, half-human and half-demon. Although the Sea Monster Research Center did not have detailed information on it, its appearance was already regarded as the fourth most terrifying existence.


    Ranked fifth was a sea monster that looked like a three-headed dog. It reminded people of the three-headed dog of hell in mysterious myths.


    The old chief nced at Wu Mo and the others before saying in a heavy voice, "Everyone, these five sea monsters are themon enemy of the entire human world. They are known as the five sea monster giants. They intend to subvert the entire human world."


    With that, an uncontroble killing intent burned in everyone''s eyes!


    The entire meeting room was filled with killing intent. Everyone''s eyes flickered with deep hatred for the five sea monster giants.


    However, they also knew that these five sea monster giants were currently the greatest threat to mankind, and the struggle against them was bound to be protracted.


    After all, any one of these five sea monsters possessed the ability to destroy top-notch human mechs. Theirbined strength was even more difficult to estimate!


    If these five sea monsters joined forces to attack any city, it would be difficult for that city to resist.


    However, bad news came.


    In a coastal country in the northern hemisphere, a devastating disaster was unfolding.


    First, the Vajra Sea Monster appeared and led hundreds of sea monsters to form a small army to attack.


    Immediately after, all the armed forces on the coast went all out to fight!


    However, the Vajra Sea Monster''s strength was too terrifying. It could release an iparably sharp light from its body to split open buildings and cut open the ground.


    Such a terrifying sea monster was illogical.


    It led its army and destroyed a major city of the coastal country at an astonishing speed.


    The mes of war instantly ignited, and the country did its best to resist.


    Their conventional firepower was almost exhausted, but they were still unable to defeat the Vajra Sea Monster!


    Helpless, the country sought help from other countries.


    However, there was even worse news!


    Another sea monster that looked like a hellhound also joined the battlefield. It led the army and joined forces with the Vajra Sea Monster.


    At this moment, this country sent a distress signal to the rest of the world, and China also received it.


    The old general gathered Wu Mo and a group of high-ranking officers. After a discussion, they decided to send reinforcements!


    As China''s two mechs had been scrapped, only Zero and Battle God were left. Therefore, under Wu Mo''s suggestion, the old general agreed to send these two mechs to support them.


    Wu Mo''s thoughts were simple. The sea monster was themon enemy of mankind. If this country was destroyed, it would not be a good thing for the other countries.

 Chapter 534 The Divine Dragon Mech Launch

    The sea monster forces would be even more arrogant, and they might even upy the country''snd and develop arger force.


    When the sea monsters continued to attack other countries, even the ind countries could not escape.


    Now, the humans were desperately guarding thest line of defense onnd and trying their best to confine these sea monsters in the ocean.


    However, once the sea monsters began to fullynd, the entire would fall into a deep panic and battle with the monsters!


    When that happened, it would no longer be the era of sea monsters, but the era of panic.


    Unfortunately, by the time Battle God, Zero, and the other countries'' reinforcements arrived, the country would already bepletely destroyed!


    Countless sea monsters exited the ocean and soughtnd. With two sea monster giants as their leaders, theyunched a destructive attack.


    No building would withstand the onught of these sea monsters, and no city would evenst an hour. The entire country would be reduced to ruins!


    The sea monsters'' power wasparable to a nuclear bomb that could destroy the sky and the earth. It would wipe the country out.


    "D*mn it! These sea monsters are too arrogant. They''re bold enough toe onnd now. We should sendnd missile troops to blow them into ashes!" one of the officers suggested.


    However, all the countries were watching. After all, they needed to understand the sea monsters'' movements before they could decide on their next move.


    The old chief told them to wait for orders and observe the sea monsters'' reaction first.


    The Vajra Sea Monster and hellhound-looking monster disappeared after they eradicated thend. The remaining sea monster army also abruptly burrowed into the ground after a series of destruction.


    Everything was captured on the screen.


    When thest sea monster disappeared, thend became dead. There were no survivors, and the sea monster were gone without a trace.


    Wu Mo frowned. "What is their purpose? Why did he disappear after all this destruction?"


    On this day, a human country had indeed been destroyed.


    It was a day of mourning for mankind. All countries agreed to make it official tomemorate the innocent people who had died under the ws of the sea monsters.


    "Destroying the sea monsters is imperative! If necessary, we have to use the nuclear bombs!"


    Wu Mo decided to convince the old chief first.


    The situation had developed to a point where it could not be avoided. The era of the sea monster was getting more and more intense.


    If they did not use their strongest weapon, the humans would not be able to kill these sea monsters in one fell swoop.


    However, using nuclear bombs was undoubtedly a desperate move that would kill three thousand enemies and harm eight hundred of their own. Unless it was thest straw, countries with nuclear bombs would hesitateunch them.


    At this moment, Wu Mo announced a piece of news that shocked the world. He would personally pilot a newly-developed mech with human-machine integration!


    "Oh, Chief Engineer Wu is actually doing it personally! Just how magical is this mech?"


    Everyone was extremely curious.


    After all, the chief designer was personally piloting the mech, which indicated that it was extraordinary.


    With that said, many people felt that Wu Mo was too important to be a pilot.


    If an ident happened on the front line, it would be a huge loss for China and even the entire human race.


    However, since Wu Mo had already made up his mind, no one else could persuade him otherwise. Even the old chief could only be tactful with his words.


    As a huge ck cloth was slowly removed, a towering steel beast gradually materialized. Divine Dragon, which Wu Mo had painstakingly developed, finally revealed its true appearance!


    Divine Dragon''s appearance shocked the world!


    The outside world would hold a press conference for Wu Mo whether he was willing or not.


    The scale of the press conference was unprecedented. It included reporters from major media outlets and senior media figures from all over the world.


    The press conference was held in a huge venue, not the usual coastal area.


    Wu Mo did not have much expectations when he attended the press conference. He followed the fixed procedures but he was not there to seek fame.


    This time, he wanted to use this mech to restore mankind''s confidence.


    The emergence of the five sea monster giants was a huge challenge but also an opportunity.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    At the press conference, Wu Mo solemnly announced, "I''m sure everyone has heard about the giant sea monsters destroying a country. This is a disaster in the history of mankind, and we should never forget it."


    Hearing Wu Mo''s admonishment, the reporters from various countries nodded with heavy hearts.


    Footage of the press conference was projected to the entire world, and everyone listened attentively to Wu Mo''s speech.


    "I believe everyone remembers the five giant sea monsters. Any one of them has enoughbat power to threaten the survival of mankind!"


    Everyone was surprised by Wu Mo''s statement.


    What was going on?


    They were there to observe the mech!


    This Divine Dragon mech was China''s guardian, so how powerful was it exactly?


    Why did Wu Mo suddenly change the subject?


    Wu Mo spoke for a while and paused before he slowly introduced the Divine Dragon mech.


    He pointed behind him and slowly said, "Standing before this warehouse door is the Divine Dragon mech that I designed with all my heart and soul. Based on a conservative estimate, this the human race''s most technologically advanced mech."


    This was considered conservative? Everyoneughed, and then their anticipation grew.


    ording to Wu Mo, this mech was incredibly advanced. Just how terrifying was its ability?


    Wu Mo continued, "This mech is a fusion of many advanced technologies. It''s hard to exin in detail at the moment. In short, I''ll personally pilot it and attempt to kill the king of the five sea monsters. I''ll make sure taht humans trample the sea monsters under their feet again!"


    Wu Mo''s impassioned words caused the entire venue to burst into warm apuse.


    Everyone suddenly understood that Wu Mo was personally piloting the mech for humanity''s sake.


    One could say that he was a great figure who had poured his heart and soul into saving mankind!


    Right then, the steel door slowly opened, and an iparably huge mech slowly walked in with firm steps.


    Wu Mo had already begun the process of merging with the mech. He was constantly controlling the mech with his thoughts as if he was controlling a smart home. He made the mech perform all sorts of actions.


    "Wow, this mech is so tall! Judging from the looks of it, it surpasses all the previous mechs, right?"


    A reporter could not help but sigh.


    Even though he had not measured it, he could tell that this mech was likely taller than the previous ones!


    In fact, this mech''s height reached an astonishing 130 meters and set a new record.


    Its huge body was made of steel, and its height was extremely exaggerated.


    The Divine Dragon mech appeared before the world, and its majestic bearing was almost distracting.


    Those who had no interest at first gradually became more interested as time passed.


    Its wings that enabled it to soar into the sky made people''s hearts surge.


    At this moment, the front line suddenly reported the movements of the five great monsters.


    The people on the base immediately took action and prepared to broadcast the footage of the five monsters.


    Now, satellites were tracking the five giants, and all of mankind was sharing information in real time.


    Any country that encountered these sea monsters would immediately release real-time images to ensure that they did not disappear from human vision.


    It was puzzling to see the Vajra Sea Monster and hellhound-looking monster disappear briefly after destroying a country, only to reappear near the wormhole.


    If humans did not userge-scale nuclear bombs now, they would be helpless against the wormhole.


    Everyone was specting whether these monsters were trying to return to space through the wormhole.


    If that was the case, it would be great news!


    A chance to silently dispatch these guys was a great event worth celebrating for the entire human race.


    "Report! The mantis sea monster has appeared!"

 Chapter 535 Wheres Chief Engineer Wu?

    Wu Mo, who was at the press conference, immediately received news of the sea monsters'' movements.


    He narrowed his eyes and immediately realized that the mantis sea monster was very cunning. It intended tounch an attack on the press conference''s venue.


    How bold!


    How did it know about the press conference?


    "Does it have the terrifying ability to obtain information about our activities?"


    Wu Mo spected that it might have many sensitive information capture nodes on its body. It could probably capture ultrasound waves from a distance and analyze all kinds of human interaction.


    That was how it learned about the global press conference and the giant weapon that could fight sea monsters.


    Therefore, the angry mantis sea monster decided to attack immediately after it received this information.


    "This ce is very far from the sea. How did it get here?" Wu Mo wondered.


    Just then, the ground suddenly exploded about two hundred meters away!


    Rumble...


    The next moment, a huge mantis sea monster appeared before everyone.


    Whoosh!


    Underground water gushed out like a flood and caught everyone off guard.


    "Heavens! Run, the sea monster ising!"


    They could not believe that a huge mantis sea monster was attacking the venue!


    Sea monsters were called that because they usually dwelled in the sea.


    However, this creature dared toe onnd. It was too bold.


    The Vajra Sea Monster and Cerberus-looking monster had been able toe onnd because they had sent out their army to sweep the coastal area first.


    However, this mantis sea monster appeared just outside the press conference without any backup. What was it nning to do?


    Rumble¡­ Boom!


    Armed forces quickly moved in, while those at the press conference retreated.


    They fired a dense number of missiles, which enveloped the mantis sea monster.


    However, it was extremely fast. It pped its wings and quickly flew several hundred meters despite its huge body.


    The shock wave produced when itnded overturned several missileunchers.


    "D*mn it! It''s too powerful. How is it so fast with such a huge body?"


    Everyone was shocked. The situation before them was so dangerous that it was suffocating.


    The mantis sea monster had arrived at a densely popted area, so the destruction caused would be far more terrifying than in the sea!


    "No! Evacuate the surrounding area immediately!"


    At this moment, a high-ranking officer took charge of this sudden disaster.


    He ordered the rear to clear out the area within a thousand-meter radius. No one could stay there.


    "This is going to be a bloody battle! Send the high-density weapons over right now!" themander ordered.


    Since it was not a coastal area, there were no pre-installed high-densityser weapons around.


    However, it was now proven that this had been the wrong approach since the sea monster could actually drill out of the ground!


    Not only could it swim in the sea, but it could also burrow through the ground. It was indeed worthy of being a terrifying creature from outer space!


    "Wait, where did Chief Engineer Wu go?" someone asked.


    The reporters from all over the world had been safely evacuated. They hid in the security building and observed the surrounding situation in confusion.


    The press conference was originally meant to show off the Divine Dragon mech. It was also where they learned that Chief Engineer Wu would be piloting the mysterious mech.


    The mantis sea monster was wreaking havoc outside, but Divine Dragon had yet to appear.


    While everyone was puzzled, the glint from a saber suddenly descended from the sky!


    Everyone looked up in shock and saw the saber falling like a meteor before a huge floor-to-ceiling window.


    It was an indescribably fast sh, so fast that it seemed to cut through air. Hence, it left behind a dazzling white light.


    It was as if the light of the waning moon was shining on the earth.


    Kacha!<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    The saber fell, and the mantis sea monster let out a heart-wrenching shriek.


    Its shriek was as deafening as an airne''s engine. Everyone widened their eyes and saw that one of the mantis'' wings had beenpletely cut off.


    Boom!


    The broken wing fell to the ground, and a huge tremor resounded through the sky. Blood sttered everywhere.


    The mantis sea monster twitched in pain and quickly retreated.


    Its triangr eyes shed with fear and hatred as it stared at the huge mech before it.


    It was Divine Dragon!


    At this moment, Wu Mo was piloting Divine Dragon and staring ahead coldly.


    He did not make a move immediately because he was fusing with the Divine Dragon mech.


    In a short period of time, Wu Mo quickly took control of the mech and disyed astonishingbat power.


    He had severed the mantis'' wings with one sh!


    The mantis sea monster''s speed had been amazingrgely because of its pair of wings.


    The wings''plex biological structure allowed it to obtain great thrust in the air.


    However, now that it had lost one of them, its flying was greatly affected.


    It slowed down a lot, and it became difficult for the monster to maintain its bnce.


    Swoosh swoosh swoosh¡­


    At this moment, the mantis sea monsterunched a sudden attack!


    Although it had lost the advantage of its wings, its sharp scythes were still life-threatening.


    The huge scythes were thick and hundreds of meters long. Every time the monster swung them, they filled the sky with the surrounding sand. It was as if a terrifying storm had swept over the entire battlefield.


    Wu Mo appeared calm and collected as he faced the terrifying scythe attack.


    He operated the Divine Dragon mech with agility and skillfully avoided one fatal attack after another.


    In an instant, the Divine Dragon mech nimbly twisted its body and pulled off a risky move. Like a monkey, it hooked one foot into the ground.


    Then, it lifted a huge rock and threw it into the sky.


    Boom!


    The huge rock flew toward the mantis sea monster, and a trace of mockery as well as disdain could be seen in the monster''s triangr eyes.


    It waved its scythes in the air and cut the boulder in half!


    However, the moment the boulder shattered, the Divine Dragon mech stretched its hand out, and an iparably huge iron needle shot forward.


    Kacha...


    Following a shocking sound, everyone stared at the scene before them with their mouths agape.


    This huge iron needle, which was as big as a lightning rod, pierced one of the mantis sea monster''s eyes.


    Screech...


    The mantis sea monster''s shriek then pierced everyone''s eardrums like a sharp awl.


    After its weak spot was severely injured, it retreated frantically and turned to escape toward the beach.


    If it could escape into the sea, the mantis sea monster could use the advantage of speed to escape human pursuit.


    However, how could Wu Mo let go of this opportunity so easily?


    "Hehe, you want to escape? I''m not going to let you!"


    Wu Mo''s eyes shed with ridicule and disdain.


    He quickly pushed the control stick and raised Divine Dragon''s speed to the maximum. As a result, it left behind afterimages with each step.


    The mantis sea monster had lost a wing, so its speed was obviously affected. It was limping and struggling on the battlefield like a crippled warrior.


    Its body was thin and weak, but its overall size was daunting. Its hard bones supported its huge body, like a huge clothes rack.


    Despite that, the mantis sea monster''s skeleton had reached its limit, and its center of gravity could no longer keep it stable.


    Under such circumstances, how could the mantis sea monster increase its speed again?

 Chapter 536 Nuclear Bomb Detonation

    Wu Mo noticed this weakness and sneered. He quickly operated the Divine Dragon mech to activate the nitrogen mode.


    Two streams of white air shot out from the mech''s heels, pushing it backward frantically. It instantly gained a huge push, and its speed suddenly increased!


    The sound of air being torn apart rang out. The divine dragon caught up with the mantis sea monster once again. With his twin des raised high, he shed fiercely at the enemy.


    Wu Mo''s sword-wielding style waspletely different from the other two Chinese pilots.


    Hong Peng''s mech emphasized agility, while Dongfang Moyu was cold and ruthless, like a swordsman.


    Wu Mo''s style of wielding his saber was not limited to one style. Every sh was simple and unadorned.


    He was like a chef handling fish on a chopping board, without showing any skills.


    He only needed to know that each sh could obtain the greatest benefits with the smallest amount of strength and angle.


    As such, Wu Mo''s saber was precise and efficient. As the two sabers danced, the head of the mantis sea monster was directly chopped off.


    The headless mantis sea monster still struggled instinctively with its huge body, trying to sh the mech with its scythe.


    However, Wu Mo had already seen through the scythe''s movements.


    With the help of the surveince screen, he could clearly capture the trajectory, speed, and power of the sickle.


    The mech calmly analyzed this information and automatically made various dodging movements.


    At this critical moment, Wu Mo and the Divine Dragon mech reached an unprecedented level of tacit understanding. Like an advanced electric car, he relied on the cooperation between man and machine to immediately discern the enemy''s intentions.


    However, even though his mech suggested dodging, Wu Mo firmly chose to forcefully interfere with the pilot''s assistance. He decided to move forward bravely.


    Kacha!


    Wu Mo quickly activated his mech and controlled Divine Dragon to charge forward.


    "Die!" he shouted.


    He stabbed his twin des horizontally in front of his chest and hacked at the mantis sea monster.


    As expected, the two sharp des were like steel weapons, cutting the two huge scythes of the mantis sea monster in half.


    After losing its scythe, the remaining wing of the mantis sea monster could not withstand the pressure and waspletely separated from its body.


    Just like that, this huge mantis sea monster was shattered into pieces. Every part of it fell, and it could no longer recover.


    However, at this moment, Wu Mo frowned.


    He felt a strong signal of light particles from the head of the mantis sea monster!


    He looked at the signal capture device and red warning light inside the mech, his heart heavy.


    This warning light meant that the signal had exceeded the highest spectral signal level and entered a dangerous area.


    Wu Mo thought, What kind of signal is this? Something was wrong. Could this mantis sea monster be some kind of magical creature from space? Spectral signals released after death could travel very far. Could they prate the atmosphere?"


    He immediately brandished the two des of the Divine Dragon mech and chopped the huge head into pieces. The signal light source became much weaker.


    "We''ve been neglecting one thing. We''ve treated these sea monsters as low-level creatures, but they came from the other side of the wormhole. It''s very likely that some kind of high-tech has been born. It was just that due to certain restrictions, he was unable to bring these technologies over!"


    After Wu Mo realized this, he immediately jumped out of his mech.


    Wu Mo decisively called an emergency meeting to express his concerns.


    Everyone agreed that the wormhole must be destroyed.


    Their hearts were filled with fear. They were worried that those mysterious extraterrestrial creatures might have quietly infiltrated human society.


    How would humans respond to such a high-tech enemy?


    The old chief pondered for a moment and finally suggested to userge-scale nuclear missiles.


    Hearing this suggestion, everyone immediately heaved a sigh of relief.


    After all, the power of arge nuclear missile was enough to destroy the wormhole.


    However, they were also worried that the chain reaction that might ur after detonating the wormhole would have disastrous consequences for human society.


    However, at this moment, they had no choice.


    The old chief quickly received approval and sessfully passed the international convention.


    After learning of this news, China immediately took action and deployedrge-scale nuclear missiles.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    The media around the world were paying attention to this incident. People from all over the world stared at the image, wanting to know if therge nuclear missile could sessfully destroy the wormhole.


    After all, this wormhole had be the public enemy of all mankind and had destroyed many homes.


    This was the first time in nearly a hundred years that mankind had detonated arge nuclear missile.


    The wormhole was no longer just a small hole, but the source of evil.


    The entire world''s attention was focused on this crisis, waiting for humanity to sessfully eliminate this threat.


    However, just how powerful would that unbelievable power be?


    No one knew because no country had ever conducted such experiments since ancient times.


    What kind of storm would the peak of the human world''s martial strength cause?


    Everyone was filled with anticipation and excitement.


    At this moment, the Chinese side was also extremely nervous. Wu Mo, the old general, and the others were staring at the screen without blinking.


    On the screen, three giant nuclear submarines were slowly diving down. They were spread out in a triangr formation, and they were unstoppable.


    Soon, the faintly visible wormhole appeared at the bottom of the sea, surrounded by many fish.


    If they did not know that this was a wormhole, people would have mistaken it for a natural habitat for underwater creatures.


    Three giant nuclear submarines were deployed around the wormhole, waiting for the perfect opportunity.


    At this moment, it was not that the base was unwilling to destroy the wormhole immediately, but they needed to first investigate the stability of the particle wave rays around the wormhole.


    If it was unstable, it meant that more unknown creatures were hiding inside.


    These creatures took advantage of the wormhole to travel light-years away and swept across the area.


    If they were to rashly blow it up, it might trigger a huge explosion in the space-time tunnel!


    The space-time tunnel explosion referred to the regr division of a spatial node, which could cause great damage to the entire.


    Therefore, at this moment, the three nuclear submarines were waiting for the data analysis of the base to find the best time to blow up the wormhole.


    Wu Mo had once considered using wormholes to gain ess to distants, but this move was fraught with danger!


    Who knew where the other end of the wormhole led to?


    Who would dare to venture into it with the''s technological strength?


    The old chief stared at the screen, his gaze as sharp as a falcon''s. He anxiously asked, "How is it? What are the results of the data analysis?"


    No one understood the old chief''s feelings better than Wu Mo.


    The great suffering brought about by the sea monster era made him yearn to eradicate the root of evil immediately.


    Once the wormhole was destroyed, the remaining number of monsters in the sea would be confirmed, and humans could wipe them out one by one!


    The war would eventually usher in a turning point, and the humans would move from being passive to taking the initiative.


    The grand decisive battle had finally arrived!


    After precise data analysis, the wormhole was abnormally stable without any abnormal signs, which meant that it was now possible to detonate arge nuclear bomb.


    When the news spread, the entire world was in an uproar. The people in front of the screen were excited and nervous as they stared at this great moment that transcended generations.


    "Ten, nine... two, one!"


    The countdown ended, and the nuclear detonation device was activated.


    Boom...


    In the deep sea, it was as if an underwater volcano had erupted and an earthquake had urred.


    Three giant nuclear submarines officiallyunchedrge-scale nuclear bombs.


    These military green giant nuclear bombs were more than thirty meters long and 1.5 to 2 meters in diameter. Each of them had the power to destroy underwater volcanoes.


    Three nuclear submarines fired nuclear bombs at a precisely calcted safe distance. In an instant, the satellite automatically locked onto the wormhole. The submarine returned at full speed and rushed to the surface.


    Immediately after, a world-shaking roar erupted.

 Chapter 537 Analyzing The Spoils Of War

    Rumble...


    This sound was like Pangu splitting the heavens and earth. The first sound was deafening.


    Then, visible light waves swept across the entire seabed, and the seawater instantly turned into boiling water.


    Countless marine creatures were caught off guard and disappeared without a trace!


    Their bodies turned into powder and mixed with the seawater. Their blood and seawater evaporated.


    All of a sudden, the wormholepletely disappeared in the terrifying explosion.


    The explosions caused by the detonation of therge-scale nuclear bombs were continuous, echoing in the sea five thousand meters deep.


    Although the seawater provided an istionyer for the nuclear bomb explosion, the explosive power of the threerge nuclear bombs was still beyond people''s imagination.


    Wu Mo was extremely shocked. This was the first time he had witnessed the spectacr scene of three nuclear bombs detonating at the same time!


    At this moment, everyone calmed down and focused on the screen.


    Everything that was clearly visible on the screen had disappeared, and what reced it was pure white.


    Yes, all the colors¡ªred, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple¡ªhad turned into the original white color.


    Terrifying energy raged in the underwater world, as if it wanted to turn everything into nothingness.


    All the officers in the base, including the old chief, stood still with their hands behind their backs.


    Their faces were expressionless, but their eyes flickered with a strange light. No one knew what they were thinking.


    After an unknown amount of time, the crowd seemed to suddenly regain their senses, and they immediately looked at the screen.


    The wormhole had been locked onto by the satellite. Even if all the monitoring equipment on the seabed was destroyed, it would be insignificant.


    When everyone saw the scene clearly, they all gasped.


    "What''s that?!" someone couldn''t help but scream.


    The dust in the seawater gradually dispersed, and his vision became clear again.


    Five thousand meters below the sea, a giant steel box appeared on the ruins.


    This ten-meter-long steel box was like a steel coffin. Its surface was full of holes and irregr marks.


    The huge box floated quietly along with the seawater, and no one knew where it was going.


    "Hurry! Let the nuclear-powered submarine capture this steel box and see what it is!" the oldmander ordered urgently.


    Logically speaking, the seabed that had just experienced a nuclear explosion was full of dangerous energy and radiation, but nuclear submarines could naturally avoid these risks.


    The nuclear-powered submarine immediately turned around and dived five thousand meters deep into the sea, slowly approaching the giant steel box.


    The live broadcast was still ongoing. The global audience held their breath as they watched the steel box gradually move further away.


    The nuclear-powered submarine moved forward cautiously. After all, this ce had experienced a nuclear explosion not long ago and was filled with unknown dangers.


    For example, sudden undersea earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and new oceanic trenches.


    Finally, the nuclear-powered submarine gradually caught up with the steel box and released a huge and tough fishing to capture the box and slowly pull it to the surface of the sea.


    After a long time, the steel box was finally dragged to the surface of the sea!


    The live broadcast was interrupted.


    At this moment, everyone held their breath and waited as they watched the wormhole beingpletely destroyed.


    The nest had disappeared without a trace, and even its shadow could not be found under the sea.


    A senior expert in the research center concluded, "This is indeed a wormhole. After it disappeared, there was no trace left in this space. This shows that this wormhole is purely a space-time node."


    Right then, Wu Mo and the others took on a new mission.


    The old chief gathered all the professional researchers and began to study the huge steel box in a secret research room.


    The steel box was ced on aboratory table protected by threeyers of tempered ss. Through the high-definition ss, one could see that the surface of the box was covered in ayer of copper-green metal with many marks.


    Theser x-ray machine was unable to prate the unusually thick box.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Wu Mo immediately made his own judgment. "This box is very likely an object that came from the other end of the wormhole when it exploded. During the process of traveling, it encountered the power of arge-scale nuclear explosion, causing it to leave its main body and fly over alone."


    This exnation was novel, bold, and creative.


    Imagine if there was arge machine, simr to a human-machine integrated mech, trying to pass through the wormhole.


    However, the moment the wormhole was destroyed, the huge power caused the space-time to explode, causing a part of the machine to be separated ande to this.


    Another expert tentatively asked, "Chief Engineer Wu, your spection is very usible, but can we try to dissect it and see what''s inside?"


    Everyone fell silent.


    Dissecting this mysterious steel box was undoubtedly a huge risk.


    The direct question was, during the dissection process, was there any mmable or explosive substance in the box that suddenly caused an explosion?


    After all, this was an underground experimental center. If there was a violent explosion, who knew what the consequences would be?


    "In that case, let''s dissect them on the marine experimental tform!"


    The old chief decisively gave the order to transport the mysterious steel box to the marine experiment tform about twenty nautical miles from the shore.


    Over there, a professional team had already put on protective clothing and was ready to perform the dissection through remote control.


    To verify Wu Mo''s conjecture, the metal box was quickly sent to the experimental tform.


    This was a secret ind. There was a secret experimental base on the ind, and the steel box was ced in the ind experimental center.


    Immediately after, the artificial intelligence-controlled experimental machine quietly approached. It waved its huge mechanical ws like a robot and began to cut withser welding and cutting technology.


    As one end of the steel box was slowly cut open, the drone captured a ck hole inside. There was nothing.


    "Something''s wrong. Why is it empty inside? Is this just a simple box, or a part of some advanced technological device?"


    Wu Mo could not believe what he was seeing.


    He felt that this thing should havee from another civilization, but how could the product of this civilization be so simple?


    Obviously, this was not possible.


    "Continue the dissection!" Wu Mo suggested decisively.


    The experimenter on the other end received instructions and continued to cut the box into two halves vertically.


    At this moment, he finally made a new discovery!


    Some white powder slowly flowed out.


    "Quickly collect the specimen and see what theposition is!" Wu Mo urged.


    He could smell something unusual from the white powder, but in order to verify his guess, he needed to analyze theposition of the powder carefully.


    The explosion that everyone was worried about did not happen. The white powder was collected into specimens and transported back to the experimental base.


    This news was kept strictly confidential for now.


    The world learned that there was a huge steel box at the center of the nuclear explosion, simr to a coffin!


    The whole world was guessing what this was.


    Unfortunately, China had not announced it, and the other countries had no way of knowing.


    After more than ten hours of analysis, the research team led by Wu Mo analyzed the red box in all aspects.


    The conclusion they came up with made everyone''s eyes light up.


    It turned out that this white powder was not a mysterious substance. It was just ordinary gunpowder!


    Everyone was stunned, and they couldn''t believe it.


    The huge steel box that came through the wormhole only contained some gunpowder?


    Even so, the gunpowder was highly concentrated, and its explosive power was equivalent to the explosion of three hundred cubic meters of TNT.

 Chapter 538 Huge Research Funds

    This was a terrifying, and now the white powder only upied a small corner of the steel box. Itsposition was not too much.


    From this, it could be seen that even if it was just gunpowder, this manufacturing technology far surpassed that of other countries!


    "Does this box look like a bullet?"


    Wu Mo''s eyes flickered as he proposed a rather creative point of view.


    He discovered that the box was indeed shaped like an irregr rectangr bullet.


    More importantly, this box contained arge amount of high-density gunpowder. Wasn''t it simr to the manufacturing principle of bullets?


    "Yes, Chief Engineer Wu makes sense. However, if it was really such a huge bullet, how big would the gun or other weapon equipped with such a bullet be?"


    Everyone gasped.


    After modeling and analyzing, he found out that if he had a bullet that was more than ten meters long, then the gun equipped with this bullet would be at least more than a thousand meters long, right?


    Wasn''t a gun that was more than a thousand meters long too exaggerated?


    "It might not be a gun. It might be some other firing device.


    "However, a thousand-meter-long body was still very terrifying!" Wu Mo nodded.


    They might be able to study many things from this rectangr box, such as theposition of the shell material, smelting technology, internal structure technology, gunpowderposition, and so on.


    These were all very precious experiences for the


    If they could learn something from it, it would be of great benefit to China''s overall technological advancement.


    The research on this box was long-term.


    It was impossible for the Chinese scientific research team topletely analyze it in a short period of time.


    He could only try to figure out all the technology in this box through continuous data analysis. The path to the truth was like a mist that needed to be explored gradually.


    The entire wormhole had been destroyed, and the sea monsters could no longer appear. The sea monsters that were still on a thousand others became thest survivors.


    The era of the sea monsters wasing to an end. Wu Ri piloted the Divine Dragon mech and led Zero as well as Battle God along the coast, heroically killing more than ten sea monsters.


    The remaining four giants had yet to appear, and humans were keeping a close eye on their movements.


    The four monsters first wandered elsewhere and then appeared on the other side of the ocean, but they did not reach the southeast coast in a short period of time.


    Wu Mo spected that they might have known that the wormhole was destroyed, so they did not rashlye to China.


    After all, with China''s top strength, it was not difficult to kill these big shots.


    Unfortunately, the man-made fusion mech waspletely destroyed. The top mech pilots, Hong Peng and Dongfang Moyu, could no longer realize their dream of killing sea monsters.


    However, Wu Mo''s n to create a new generation of man-made integrated mech was already in progress. He would create five mechs at once and select three outstanding pilots to operate them together.


    The birth of the five mechs filled everyone with anticipation. Their strength would be greatly improved, and they would be more powerful in resisting the sea monsters.


    The sound of air being torn apart rang out. Wu Mo piloted the Divine Dragon mech and swung his steel arm down fiercely, causing a sea monster to fall to the ground.


    Although this eighth ranked sea monster wasn''t one of the five giants, it could be considered a quasi-giant.


    However, in front of Wu Mo, it had no power to resist.


    The Divine Dragon mech was fully armed and suppressed the sea monster. In the end, it was torn apart in pain.


    There were others responsible for cleaning up the battlefield. After killing the sea monster, Wu Mo returned to the base.


    Wu Mo left the Divine Dragon mech and went to the Institute of Special Biology.


    At this moment, a strange patient came to seek treatment. He was suffering from a chronic disease. His muscles were gradually atrophying, and his hands and feet were also beginning to degenerate. It seemed that they had shrunk a lot.


    The patient''s face was pale as if he had been mercilessly destroyed by fate. He lowered his head and did not say a word.


    He would be the next subject for the Biological Regeneration Agent trials.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, although this person isn''t disabled, the strange illness has made him look like a disabled person," Xu Wanqing said worriedly."


    They had to be prepared for the possibility that the medicine might not be effective on this person.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    With the current technology, this strange disease was difficult to treat.


    This person had undergone surgery and taken all kinds of medicine prescribed by famous doctors, but it was useless.


    "Don''t worry" Wu Mo thought for a moment and said, "He got this disease because the biological cells in his body died or withered. Our agent can activate these cells and restore his hands and feet to normal."


    When Xu Wanqing and the others heard this, they injected the Biological Regeneration Agent into this person with peace of mind.


    Not long after, the man gradually calmed down and was sent to the observation room.


    He had always wanted to be a normal person. Now that he had epted the experiment, he had no distracting thoughts and waited for the results.


    Only then did Wu Mo learn that this person was a famous real estate tycoon in the country. His worth exceeded a hundred billion and he was a big shot in the business world!


    ...


    Three dayster, the person who walked out of the observation room had no major issues with the data analysis.


    The experiment was sessful!


    "Thank you, Chief Wu," he thanked Wu Mo calmly. "I feel very normal. There are no abnormal reactions."


    The big shots of the business world had a calm mentality. Even after such a blow, they would not break down.


    If an ordinary person were to encounter this strange disease at the peak of their life, their body would gradually weaken and their hands and feet would degenerate. Anyone would probably copse.


    He might even go crazy. He didn''tmit suicide, and he couldmunicate with ordinary people freely. His mentality was excellent.


    "Don''t worry." Wu Mo nodded. "The Biological Regeneration Agent has already taken effect in your body. In half a month, your limbs will gradually return to normal."


    "Thank you, Chief Wu." The man smiled calmly.


    Wu Mo observed this person. He was not very old, but he did not know what ability he had to make him have hundreds of billions of assets at such a young age, enough to rank among the top dozens in the country.


    These days, Wu Mo had not only been paying attention to the situation of the five human-machine fusion mechs, but he had also found time to return to his parents'' side to enjoy family time and talk about the recent sea monster incident.


    Thanks to Wu Mo''s exnation, Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu already knew the situation of the sea monster like the back of their hands.


    They knew that the Dark Ghoul ranked first among the sea monsters, followed by the mantis sea monster, the giant ape sea monster, the quasi-monster, and the hellhound-looking.


    As for the mantis sea monster that ranked second, it had already been killed by their son, Wu Mo, with a single sword strike.


    This made Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu extremely proud, and they often mentioned this matter when chatting with their neighbors.


    When they found out that they were Chief Engineer Wu''s parents, everyone was amazed.


    Half a monthter, good news came from the business tycoon.


    His hands and feet had returned to normal, his muscles were gradually growing, and his entire person was glowing with youth.


    After learning about this, the researchers in the Institute of Special Biology heaved a sigh of relief, and their worries dissipated.


    This incident gave them a deeper understanding of the effects of the Biological Regeneration Agent. It turned out that not only could it cure disability, but it could even cure the natural decline of the body.


    One day, the old chief suddenly called, which surprised Wu Mo. "Wu Mo, how did you get the base twenty billion in research funding?"


    Twenty billion?


    Wu Mo frowned. Where did he get the funds?


    "Didn''t you get it?" The old chief sighed. "Twenty billion is an astronomical figure!"


    The funds came at a timely manner for the military base. It was enough to upgrade the entire base, change equipment, and develop new weapons.


    "It''s funded by that real estate tycoon, isn''t it?" Wu Mo asked


    The old chief nodded. "Yes, he was cured of his illness because of the Biological Regeneration Agent. So, he generously donated twenty billion yuan."


    Wu Mo thought to himself, ''This man is really generous!''


    However, after experiencing the crisis, he was even more indifferent about money.


    Wu Mo said, "A person who has been at death''s door must have great wisdom and great fortune."

 Chapter 539 Colonizers From Tafaro

    After the news of this small incident spread, the desire of countries around the world for the Biological Regeneration Agent became stronger.


    The influential figures even tried to use their connections to get this magical potion from China.


    However, the Biological Regeneration Agent was currently only in the experimental stage and was not sold worldwide.


    If one wanted to use this agent, they had to be in the Institute of Special Biology and get the researchers to administer it. The agent could not be taken out of the research institute.


    Therefore, even though many countries desperately wanted this potion, they could only sigh in despair.


    ...


    On this day, a country suddenly fell into a predicament. The third-ranking giant ape monster had appeared!


    People still remembered that it had teamed up with the hellhound monster that was ranked fifth to destroy a coastal country. Now that the giant ape monster had appeared again, everyone was nervous.


    The country immediately madeprehensive preparations. They evacuated everyone and sent out troops to surround them in an attempt to drive the giant ape monster back to the depths of the sea.


    Since the sea areas were interlinked, once it entered the sea, the giant ape monster might invade other countries. When that happened, the other countries would also take action to deal with it.


    However, onnd, the giant ape monster was unlikely to encounter attacks from various countries because it involved territorial issues, which wereplicated and sensitive.


    Rumble!


    The giant ape monster''s destructive power instantly devastated the country.


    At that moment, China received an emergency call for help. The other party wanted China to send out mechs to chase away the giant ape monster.


    Since the two countries were close and friendly, the old chief immediately received instructions to send someone to rescue them.


    "Wu Mo, a new mission has arrived. Are you going to do it yourself or are you going to send Battle God and Zero?" the old chief asked Wu Mo.


    Wu Mo answered without hesitation, "Of course I''ll go myself. That giant ape is very strong. I''m afraid that even Battle God and Zerobined wouldn''t be a match for it!"


    "Okay, you should get ready then. Remember, pay attention to your safety. Your life is top priority!" the old chief instructed.


    "Alright, Chief. I understand." Wu Mo immediately went into action.


    For this expedition, Wu Mo was fully prepared for this expedition.


    He would maintain close contact with the basemand center in case of any unexpected situations.


    The Divine Dragon mech''s dazzling debut had shocked the world.


    The media, especially domestic mainstream ones, reported on the rescue operation and praised Wu Mo''s self-sacrificing spirit.


    After all, Wu Mo was going to pilot the Divine Dragon mech to a distant foreign country. Who knew where he would go?


    He knew very little about the terrain, climate, and even the culture there, but he was determined to pilot his mech into the battlefield.


    The outside world marveled at this extremely risky move.


    Wu Mo, China''s brightest star, had personally stepped forward and moved countless viewers.


    They were proud of Wu Mo''s spirit and saw him as their patron saint.


    Not only did Wu Mo protect the Chinese people, but he also protected the people further away from the sea monsters.


    However, only Wu Mo knew that he was not doing it entirely out of a noble spirit. It was because the widespread use of mechs brought about huge benefits.


    Although it was impossible for everyone to own a mech, as long as the glory of mechs could spread everywhere, the returns would still be generous.


    This idea had long taken root in Wu Mo''s heart, and now it was finally being realized.


    Wu Mo piloted his mech forward, the firepower behind him was as powerful as a dragon.


    The earth cracked before dozens of sea monsters broke out of the ground and wreaked havoc on the ins.


    The once prosperous city was now empty, and it had turned into a ghost town.


    Soon, underground water sources emerged and flooded the ins.


    The sea monsters sensed the arrival of China''s armed forces and roared as they charged at them.


    The two sides engaged in a life-and-death battle on the turbulent ins.


    All kinds of conventional weapons,pound weapons, and high-densityser weapons were fired at the same time. They managed to kill and waste a few sea monsters that were charging at them.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    The sea monsters at the back were scared out of their wits, and they clearly slowed down.


    "Now!"


    Seizing the opportunity, Wu Mo''s Divine Dragon mech instantly leapt into the air with a whoosh.


    Thanks to the force of inertia, the 130-meter-tall giantnded with a terrifying force.


    A sea monster was crushed into pieces by the mech, and another two were split in half by the mech''s two steel des.


    The Divine Dragon mech killed three sea monsters in an instant.


    This disy of invincibility, as well as heroism, became the focus of the entire world, and everyone was dumbfounded.


    "Oh, my God, the Divine Dragon mech is really cool, isn''t it?"


    A reporter could not help but sigh.


    At this point in time, the citizens of the country were also gathered in the safe zone. They all stared at the broadcast without blinking.


    When they saw Wu Mo protecting their homnd and killing the sea monsters, their eyes could not help but tear up.


    They also noticed that the underground water had flooded their homes, and they might never be able to return.


    However, if they could kill their enemies and avenge their homnd, the anger in their hearts could be quelled.


    Wu Mo''s attack terrified the giant ape monster, and it immediately focused its attention on him.


    ''Oh? Human, you''ve managed to create such a weapon with your technology?''


    The giant ape''s voice echoed in Wu Mo''s mind.


    Wu Mo felt goosebumps all over his body at that very moment. He was almost ovee by the impulse to open the mech''s cockpit and jump down to escape!


    Yes, he truly had the urge to run away.


    Nevertheless, Wu Mo suppressed his fear and replied telepathically, ''Where exactly are you from? Why did youe to our? What is your purpose?''


    After Wu Mo question it, his mech remained motionless, and he stared at the giant ape monster.


    The dozen sea monsters at the side seemed hesitant. They dared not attack the Divine Dragon mech for the time being.


    After a moment, the giant ape monster replied, ''Ie from a in the depths of the universe called Tafaro. We''vee to your to colonize you!''


    ''You want to turn our into a colony? What a joke¡­ You haven''t told me how you learned the humannguage.''


    The atmosphere started to be really strange.


    Wu Mo and the giant ape did not move in the slightest, and the sea monster''s underlings dared not make a move either.


    It was as if an invisible ripple in the air was transmitting their voices into the other party''s mind. No external technology could capture this mode ofmunication.


    The onlookers were all wondering what Chief Engineer Wu was doing. Why was he not moving?


    The giant ape seemed frozen as well, and it made things even stranger.


    ''We were divided into several camps when we came to this,'' the giant ape monster finally exined. ''Our technology is more advanced. After a period of capturing and collectingrge amounts of data, we have learned thenguage of your.''


    Hearing this, Wu Mo''s face instantly darkened.


    His guess had turned out to be true. The giant ape monster came from a more advanced.


    They could capture humannguage in a short period of time and directly master it.


    Besides, this method of transmitting voices directly into the mind was even more unbelievable.


    Wu Mo raised hisst question, ''How many advanced beings like you came to our?''


    ''There were a few, but they''re all dead now. I''m the only one left.''


    The giant ape monster''s voice was filled with loneliness as it tried to imitate human speech.


    ''Go to hell!''

 Chapter 540 Were Helping You Evolve

    Taking advantage of the situation, Wu Mo suddenly controlled his Divine Dragon mech and charged toward the giant ape monster like a phantom.


    The amount of information he had obtained from the giant ape monster was enormous.


    At this point, only Wu Mo knew about it. The rest of the humans had yet to capture any of this data.


    However, Wu Mo realized an extremely terrifying fact.


    He had seriously underestimated the strength of the giant ape monster before him!


    Yes, the humans had made a mistake by taking the monster lightly.


    The entire Sea Monster Research Center had made an error in their assessment.


    This giant ape was far more intelligent than the other sea monsters. It represented a highly advanced civilization.


    Itspanions had all fallen, and it was left alone on this.


    Now, they had to gather all their forces to destroy itpletely. Otherwise, it could lead to a huge disaster in the future.


    Wu Mo quickly sent a request to themand center and asked them to send Battle God and Zero as reinforcements.


    If possible, they should also send out a nuclear-powered submarine and arge nuclear-powered aircraft carrier to surround the giant ape monster. They definitely could not let it escape.


    "What? Is this really Wu Mo''s request?"


    Right then, a high-ranking officer in themand center frowned.


    They had only gone to provide reinforcements and had not expected such huge trouble.


    If they sent a nuclear submarine or an aircraft carrier, it would definitely cause a huge storm of public opinion. It would lead to many conspiracies and spections.


    Furthermore, they were supposed to just be reinforcements, not the main force.


    It would be good enough if they could drive the giant ape monster away.


    If they paid a huge price to kill this sea monster, the impact on China would be too great.


    Basically, everyone had different standpoints. Ordinary people felt that there was no need to make such a big move.


    However, when Wu Mo emphasized that the giant ape monster was far more terrifying than everyone had imagined, the high-ranking officer made a prompt decision. He immediately sent arge nuclear-powered submarine and aircraft carrier to reinforce them.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Wu Mo piloted the Divine Dragon mech and engaged in a fierce battle with the giant ape monster.


    Right then, both of them fell silent and went all out to defeat each other.


    In the eyes of the giant ape monster, the Divine Dragon mech that Wu Mo piloted was the pinnacle ofbat power on this.


    Wu Mo naturally believed that the giant ape monster was mankind''s greatest enemy too.


    At the same time, the remaining sea monsters chose to attack the weapons behind them.


    However, the sea monsters found it difficult to get close under such a fierce bombardment.


    What kind of terrifying firepower was this?!


    During the tense battle, Wu Mo suddenly shot forward and quickly asked, "How many light-years is your from here?"


    He knew that even if he spoke casually, the other party could hear his voice clearly.


    The giant ape answered without hesitation, "Our is a distant red dwarf star, five hundred and fifty light years away from here."


    Five hundred and fifty light years!


    Hearing this distance, Wu Mo''s heart trembled violently.


    More than five hundred light years was quite a distance.


    Even advanced civilizations would find it difficult to reach such a distant ce, unless they used wormholes for warp jumps.


    What shocked Wu Mo even more was that there was a red dwarf star more than five hundred light years away from the human, and it actually had life!<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    As everyone knew, red dwarfs had extremely high temperatures and were generally unable to sustain life.


    However, Wu Mo looked at the giant ape sea monster that appeared to be covered in a thick shell, and he discovered something.


    Bang!


    Wu Mo realized that his Divine Dragon mech had been shing at the spot on the sea monster''s body countless times, yet it could not break through its defense.


    He was puzzled. "Is it really impossible to break its defense?"


    Wu Mo quickly retreated to increase the distance between them. In the end, he borrowed strength from the mech''s sprint and once again stabbed its two sabers forward.


    He changed his strategy this time to obtain greater thrusting power!


    However, Wu Mo was disappointed once again.


    He even realized that the giant ape monster was just standing still and allowing him to attack.


    "Haha, human, you will never understand the technology of our advanced civilization!" the giant ape monster said mockingly.


    "Oh, Tafaro?"


    Wu Mo''s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately remembered the''s name.


    This had been an oversight on humanity''s side in the field of interster observation for many years.


    Although they had discovered countlesss, they had never noticed this mysterious.


    Perhaps they had glimpsed this in the distance but never explored it in depth.


    Who would have thought that there would be a higher form of life on this?


    The Tafaronian sneered, ''Our technology is at least two thousand years ahead of your''s. We''re here topletely free you, but you natives are unwilling. What a waste of an opportunity to evolve to a higher civilization!''


    Its emotions echoed in Wu Mo''s mind.


    Its imitation of humans had reached a level of perfection, and its actions were quite simr to that of a real human.


    "This is an invasion, yet you have the nerve to say that you want to let others evolve into an advanced civilization. How shameless!" Wu Mo said angrily.


    This infuriated the Tafaronian!


    Being part of an advanced civilization in the universe, it still had its own emotions although it was an extraterrestrial life form that humans could not imagine.


    The moment the Tafaronian''s emotions reached a boiling point, its fury was as violent as a storm.


    It waved its giant ws and charged at Divine Dragon with endless rage.


    High-densityser weapons roared from all directions and tried their best to stop the monster''s attack. Compound missiles also poured down like a tide.


    However, the giant ape''s defense was devastatingly strong. It was like an unshakable steel wall.


    If they did not userge nuclear bombs, they would not be able to break through its defense!


    Wu Mo quickly thought about it and contacted themand center.


    "Base, help me measure the distance to the nearest emptynd from here!"


    As soon as Wu Mo requested this, the base understood his intentions.


    "There''s a desert about fifteen kilometers away from your battle zone. It''s wide enough to withstand arge-scale nuclear explosion, so no one will be harmed!" the base quickly responded.


    "Let''s go!"


    There was determination in Wu Mo''s eyes as he immediately increased Divine Dragon''s eleration and flew toward the desert.


    The Tafaronian did not expect Divine Dragon to escape so suddenly. A hint of disdain shed in his eyes.


    However, it did not slow down. The giant ape activated what seemed like ten flywheels that sped across the ground.


    The best mechanics of air propulsion made its speed reach a terrifying level!

 Chapter 541 Finally Killing It

    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    The Tafaronian was so fast that it was like an afterimage, which left the people dumbfounded.


    Its speed was still increasing, and its eleration was even faster than a free fall.


    Wu Mo was shocked when he noticed the Tafaronian''s speed!


    He gritted his teeth and activated a hidden setting inside the Divine Dragon mech¡ªtop speed.


    After he activated this mode, all the steering devices were temporarily shut down, and the mech''s internal structure was fully dedicated to linear eleration.


    "Oh?" The giant ape never thought this primitive could actually develop such a fast mech!


    The Tafaronian''s voice was filled with surprise and disdain. It pursued Divine Dragon relentlessly and tried to defeat the mech, the pinnacle of the human world''sbat power.


    "Lowly race, give up your resistance! I''ve sent a cosmic star map to Tafaro. We''ll send a spaceship to conquer your deste and lead you to a higher civilization!"


    The Tafaronian''s taunting words almost made Wu Mo copse.


    ''What? This guy actually sent out a signal and gave an urate location of our? On top of that, it''s asking Tafaro to send a spaceship over?''


    Wu Mo felt despair in his heart.


    Just imagine, once arge number of Tafaronians or even more powerful beings like the giant ape monster arrived on this, the entire human world would probably be destroyed.


    The best oue would probably have them live as a ve race and be taken away, or have the entire be a colony.


    The worst thing was that they would be erased forever and cease to exist.


    "Our''s thousands of years of civilization is something that you aliens cannot destroy. Although your technology is more advanced, you have neglected something called faith," Wu Mo replied coldly as he sped up.


    "Faith? Ha, what a joke! Before our advanced civilization, your beliefs are nothing but ants!"


    The Tafaronian mocked him arrogantly while it gave chase with all its might.


    At this moment, more than ten sea monsters were entangled with the conventional weapons, and both sides were in a stalemate.


    However, when the nuclear-powered submarines andrge nuclear-powered aircraft carriers arrived, the air force wouldunch a triple attack on the sea,nd, and air. Once that happened, these sea monsters would have nowhere to escape!


    ...


    Finally, they arrived in the desert.


    Before Wu Mo got there, he had already observed his surroundings. He rushed toward the core of the desert and ran into the distance.


    Therge nuclear-powered missileuncher was also rushing over at full speed.


    After he shifted his position several times, Wu Mo finally found an ideal ce.


    About seven kilometers deep in the desert, there was a natural mound. While it was only ten meters above sea level, it would not prevent the line of fire from moving straight.


    Wu Mo decided to detonate arge nuclear missile near this mound!


    "Wu Mo, how are you escaping from therge-scale nuclear explosion?" an officer asked nervously. The atmosphere in themand center became tense.


    All life within at least thirty kilometers of the nuclear explosion would be reduced to ashes.


    "I already took this into consideration when I was developing the Divine Dragon mech," Wu Mo replied after pondering for a moment. "Its multiyerposite shell can effectively withstand nuclear radiation and high-temperature shocks. There should be no problem if I can move five kilometers away."


    However, he still had to find a way to retreat that distance during the nuclear explosion.


    Without hesitation, Wu Mo activated Nitrous Mode and Straight-fire Mode. The terrifying eleration of the dual modes made the Divine Dragon mech fly like an arrow. It instantly traveled more than ten kilometers and advanced into the distant horizon.


    "Now!" he shouted. "Detonate it immediately!"


    Therge nuclear missile wasunched on time following Wu Mo''s order.


    In the howling wind, therge nuclear missile fell and ignited the fuse.


    At this moment, the Tafaronian finally realized how careless it had been!


    It tried to slow down, but the huge inertia prevented it from stopping immediately.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "D*mn it! The gravitational force of your low-level is too weak. I can''t stop soon enough!" the Tafaronian cursed.


    Unfortunately, it was unable to escape the nuclear explosion.


    Boom!


    With a loud bang, a trace of fear shed in the Tafaronian''s eyes.


    Then, the entire world was engulfed by the white light.


    The dazzling white light destroyed everything in sight.


    Wu Mo managed to make it past the five-kilometer range with Divine Dragon''s terrifying speed.


    Even so, the Divine Dragon mech also suffered devastating damage. Its outer shell was falling off, and pieces of it quickly melted into molten iron.


    Wu Mo immediately jumped out of the cabin, rolled on the ground, and ran away.


    At this moment, the satellite surveince found that at the center of the explosion, a small red box dropped off the Tafaronian''s body when it exploded. It was not destroyed.


    The moment they caught sight of it, the researchers spected that it was most likely a map of the five hundred light-years away!


    With the map, humans might be able to start a long-distance voyage.


    This spection made the entiremand center ecstatic!


    A senior expert stared at the red iron box on the screen. Though his temples were pale, his eyes were bright.


    Such iron boxes were usually extremely tough when ced inside the body, and it could withstand extremely high temperature explosions.


    The scene they just witnessed undoubtedly confirmed this point!


    "Hurry, hurry, bring that red box back!" the expert could not help but say.


    However, the nuclear explosion had just ended, and the nuclear radiation was still incredibly heavy. No one could grab the red box in such an environment.


    They had to wait for a period of time until the nuclear radiation weakened a little.


    They would only have a chance of retrieving the red box if they sent out soldiers who wore special protective clothing.


    Wu Mo still had no idea about this. He suddenly started coughing and felt a little ufortable.


    For now, he had to return to the base to recuperate for a period of time.


    After all, the radiation and pollution produced by arge-scale nuclear explosion were extremely serious. The slightest mistake could lead to lifelong effects.


    Wu Mo had not gone far when he met the person who came to pick him up.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, are you okay?" the doctor could not help but ask with concern.


    Wu Mo shook his head to indicate that he was aware of his current condition. He did not need to receive treatment immediately. He just needed to rest for a while.


    Wu Mo then returned to China with the other rest.


    The storm finally subsided, and Divine Dragon still stood tall in the ruins about five kilometers away from the nuclear explosion.


    China brought it back to the base for repairs, but no one dared to touch it.


    This was because aside from Wu Mo, no one else was qualified to repair this Divine Dragon mech.


    The mech had many technological facilities, and things could easily backfire if they repaired it rashly.


    After two days of rest, Wu Mo reappeared and saw the mysterious red box before him.


    A group of experts had already conducted two days and two nights of research on the box.


    Thetest infrared scan revealed that the red box was made of a sturdy metal shell.


    It wasposed of metals that did not appear on the periodic table of elements. It was a special element that originated from a distant.


    The hardness of this element was simply astounding!

 Chapter 542 Star Map Of The Universe

    It had remained safe and sound although it had been at the center of tenrge nuclear missile explosions. It showed no signs of melting.


    Even the hardest metal on Earth would turn into molten iron in a nuclear explosion, but the red box did not change shape in the slightest.


    "It''s worth making good use of this metal element," an expert said excitedly. "If we can mine arge amount of such elements on that, we can develop all kinds of new technological equipment and even bring about another technological revolution!"


    If things were made of this metal, their sturdiness would be greatly improved.


    When that happened, not only would their military strength be greatly enhanced, but ordinary transportation facilities would also be safer. People''s lives would be renewed.


    However, using current technology to travel to a that was several hundred light-years away was a challenging task in itself.


    It would take them at least another one to two hundred years to achieve this goal.


    This was only a conservative estimate. It was extremely difficult to travel across light-years. Even light took five hundred and fifty years to reach this.


    Mankind did not have the means to surpass the speed of light at this point. It would take five hundred and fifty years to reach the speed of light, let alone surpass it.


    The experts were a little disappointed when they were reminded of this.


    However, they understood that this was a test for mankind''s scientific and technological level. It was useless for them to be anxious.


    "Is there really a star map hidden in this red box?"


    Wu Mo frowned and carefully examined the red box.


    Right then, the red box was sitting in ssware while stunned experts were surrounding it.


    A star map referred to the distribution ofs in a certain region of the universe.


    Having a star map was of great significance to the navigation of space probes, as they would no longer be running around like headless flies.


    They would explores with a goal thanks to the star map''s guidance.


    The projector lit up with a purple light, and a picture appeared on the screen.


    The entireboratory plunged into darkness, so the projection was exceptionally clear.


    The blue lines on the screen reflected the chaos in the background, and it looked as if there was floating dust in the vast expanse.


    Some were particles formed after the explosion ofrges, and they were wandering aimlessly in the universe.


    Others were dust from small chaotics.


    There was also a particrly clear spot on the screen, which was Tafaro, five hundred and fifty light-years away.


    "We can see the flickering Tafaro with our naked eye, but the reality is, traveling five hundred and fifty light-years is enough to take us a lifetime!" Wu Mo said emotionally.


    Even though he had developed the incredible Dragon Shield and skybridge devices, traveling such a long distance was still a huge challenge for Wu Mo.


    "Perhaps after we achieve controble nuclear fusion and the unlimited expansion of a spacecraft''s energy source, we can travel freely in the universe?"


    The desire in Wu Mo''s heart became stronger than ever.


    Controlled nuclear fusion would be his next research direction. He had to seed!


    The wormhole that had appeared in the ocean hinted at the existence of a mysterious advanced in the universe. Knowing this gave him a sense of serious danger.


    In the future, mankind would likely be destroyed by these advanced civilizations from outer space!


    Wu Mo felt like he was under heavy pressure.


    The biggest problem humanity faced in developing true controble nuclear fusion was the materials!


    Within a huge steel structure, a pile of particles was undergoing a fusion reaction.


    The number of these particles was strictly controlled within an extremely narrow range.


    The space was small, and there were few of them!<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    This was because once the quantity reached a certain scale, no material could withstand it and would bepletely dissolved.


    Currently, the world''s smallest experimental facility for controble nuclear fusion was located in China.


    Although it was very small, it was already operating at its limit.


    If they decided to go for a higher level, the nuclear fusion would explode all the materials!


    The material issue was the biggest obstacle on the path of controble nuclear fusion.


    For this reason, Wu Mo had conducted an inspection of steel smelters in China and even around the world.


    All kinds of sturdy materials and alloys had failed. This included sturdy alloys that were created at thest minute.


    In the R&D academy, the young girl was still working tirelessly day and night to research materials that could provide controble nuclear fusion!


    However, she had yet to seed. It was an area that all the experts in China and even the world were researching.


    Even Wu Mo had returned empty-handed.


    "You must keep this star map of the universe well and store it in the most confidential ce," Wu Mo solemnly instructed.


    The security personnel immediately stored the red box and arranged for someone to look after it twenty-four hours a day.


    This red box came from outer space, and its material was unusually strong.


    Wu Mo considered using this material to research controble nuclear fusion.


    However, this iron box alone would not be enough, right?


    This iron box weighed only about thirty kilograms. How could it be enough to make the outer shell of a controble nuclear fusion reactor?


    "Wait, wait, wait, wait."


    Wu Mo suddenly stood at the door, and his entire body trembled.


    "Hmm? What just happened to Chief Engineer Wu?"


    The experts behind him were confused, but Wu Mo had a bold and solid idea: If there were more of these objects, would they not be able to use them as outer shell material for controble nuclear fusion reactors?


    The thought came to him like a bolt of lightning, and Wu Mo ruminated on the five-thousand-meter seabed under the wormhole.


    Had more of these materials been left behind?


    It was possible!


    It was very possible!


    Just like the huge steel box that resembled a bullet from before and this current metal box, were they not made of materials from outer space?


    Who could guarantee that something simr to the red box had not fallen out of the wormhole, only to be ignored?


    A wild passion burned in Wu Mo''s heart. He immediately found the old chief and shared his thoughts.


    The old chief''s eyes lit up. If China could be the first to achieve controble nuclear fusion, it would solve a huge problem that had gued the world for decades!


    "Alright, Wu Mo! I''ll contact the front line immediately and ask them to send out arge nuclear-powered submarine fleet to search the area! If these items appear, they''ll find it!"


    The old chief also showed firm determination. China had to take the lead in achieving this breakthrough, and the key was to find a sturdy material!


    It was highly possible that this extraterrestrial material had fallen to the bottom of the sea five thousand meters deep. Hence, Wu Mo took this matter very seriously.


    He personally followed the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier to the southeast coast.


    Now that the wormhole had been blown up, there was no trace of it. Even so, its coordinates were still engraved on the aircraft carrier''s water chart.


    It was the ce where the sea monsters first appeared, and it was called the Sea of Misfortune.

 Chapter 543 A New Unparalleled Mech

    The sailors circled around the edge of the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier to mark their position before they threw down a huge fishing.


    This was definitely not sturdy enough for them to fish directly from the seabed. After all, it was impossible for such a huge to go five thousand meters deep.


    The fishing''s real purpose was to divide the area.


    It saved time since they could avoid unnecessary repeated searches.


    After they divided the water into different areas, the nuclear-powered submarines dived into the sea.


    Once they reached a depth of about five thousand meters, the nuclear-powered submarine turned on arge searchlight and began to scour the dark seabed.


    There were many unknown and mysterious marine creatures living down there.


    The moment they were illuminated by therge searchlights, they got frightened and fled in all directions.


    Just then, something stirred in the sand ahead of them. It was as if a huge mysterious crab had escaped from a crack in the rocks.


    Immediately after, a small red horn emerged from the stone.


    "Target found! Approach immediately!"


    Themander on the submarine quickly noticed the red horn, and he reported the situation to the aircraft carrier''smand room right away.


    After Wu Mo received the news, he ordered the nuclear-powered submarine to catch it with great enthusiasm.


    As the nuclear-powered submarine approached the horn, they discovered that it was simr to a red box, but it was very small. Rather than calling it a box, it was more appropriate to call it a palm-sized pencil case.


    After the nuclear-powered submarine captured the "red pencil case," it was immediately preserved and sealed in a corner. Then, they continued to search the nearby waters.


    Their harvest today ended up being bountiful. They discovered more red metal boxes in session, some of which were oval or almost triangr.


    After some counting, they found that they had a total of thirteen boxes!


    It was undoubtedly a huge harvest.


    Wu Mo was on the mothership. When he learned that they had fished up more than ten metal boxes, his eyes instantly lit up.


    He realized that these were probably special devices from the other side of the wormhole.


    Following the violent nuclear explosion and the impact of the space-time rift, various devices had probably copsed and shattered. As a result, their pieces were scattered all over the seabed.


    "How is this possible?"


    Meanwhile, the two pilots were standing near the port and watching everything in a daze.


    Raging mes were dancing on the surface of the sea, and the two mighty mechs of the past were now in pieces.


    Their huge but twisted bodies just floated on the surface of the sea.


    One sea monster after another saw these mechs as targets to vent their anger. They charged over in a frenzy and gnawed on the mechs.


    These two mechs that were once hailed as the pinnacle of China''s technology were now reduced to a pile of metal fragments.


    The two pilots, who had been lucky enough to pilot them, felt endless disappointment and pain when they saw this.


    "No, it shouldn''t have turned out like this¡­"


    Dongfang Moyu could not stand the sight, and his spirit was on the verge of copse.


    To excellent pilots, the mechs they piloted were likerades, family, or even friends.


    Now that their mechs were destroyed, one could only imagine the pain in their hearts.


    "Sigh, let it go. We''ve done our best. There''s nothing else we can do about it."


    Hong Peng patted Dongfang Moyu on the shoulder in an effort tofort him.


    They had indeed tried their best, but the results were the same.


    Who could me them?


    No one wanted to see such a heartbreaking scene.


    Since it had already happened, they could only think of other ways to deal with these terrifying sea monster armies.


    The number of sea monsters kept increasing, and there were already about two hundred of them.


    They continued to attack the coast without hesitation as if they were nning to take over the whole of Dongzhou today!<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Oh, no, these d*mn sea monsters are going to attack the maind!"


    An officer noticed this and immediately informed the Weapons Unit.


    Thend-based missile force was ready. If these sea monsters dared to step onnd, they would have a taste of the fiercest firepower on Earth.


    Unexpectedly, the Dark Ghoul suddenly let out a series of roars as if telling its race not to go ashore. Thus, they turned around and disappeared into the depths of the sea instead.


    Everyone had an extremely heavy heart when they saw this.


    Thend-based missile troops were already on standby. They would crush the sea monsters mercilessly the moment theynded.


    However, just as things heated up, the sea monsters all disappeared and left the humans hanging.


    "These sea monsters are obviously unusual. As the leader, the Dark Ghoul is quite intelligent. We have a difficult battle ahead of us."


    Everyone in themand center was dejected.


    It hurt Wu Mo to see the two mechs with human-machine integration being destroyed. He had personally created them after all.


    Now that he had mastered the Divine-grade chip, a thought urred to him: The next mech should be more suitable for his personal operating style.


    In other words, Wu Mo would be the sole pilot.


    As thend troops sessfully scared off the sea monsters, the battle temporarily came to an end.


    After Wu Mo returned to the research base, he immediately began to n his new mech.


    This mech would be unparalleled. Every design and every detail would fit his desire.


    After careful consideration, Wu Mo drew a beautiful design.


    The mech on this blueprint was perfect.


    The steel wings on its back reached into the clouds, and it looked extremely domineering.


    The mech''s body was also full of power, and there was apact pilot''s cabin in the chest area. Although there were not many control panels because it was small, it had all the necessaryponents.


    Its legs were thick, as well as powerful, and there were at least twenty kinds ofplicated mechanisms hidden within them.


    For example, it had a rescue system, emergency connection system, voice control system, and attack system.


    After he was done with the design, Wu Mo found a group of steel smelters with extraordinary strength. Then, he secretly discussed the manufacturing of the shell''s mold with them.


    Wu Mo made a series of specific requests, which puzzled the person in charge of the factory.


    This was because Battle God, Zero, and the other two mechs never had suchplicated requirements.


    But this one waspletely different.


    Given that it was Wu Mo''s decision, they could only follow the design.


    Severalrge smelters led by Huayang Heavy Industries quickly began to produce various modules.


    They worked together and quicklypleted the outer shell needed for the mech.


    Wu Mo examined the results and nodded in satisfaction.


    "Yes, it''s outstanding. The outer shell is hard and tough. Its surface can absorb arge amount of light particle energy, and that makes it the rarest of its kind. Even the triangr beam from before won''t be able to shatter this mech''s outer shell," Wu Mo said.


    Next, the most crucial part was the chip and the super-smart driving system.


    Wu Mo had directly imported a personalized and distinctive system from the system''s store.


    This system would record the pilot''s various habits as the pilot operated the mech for an extended period of time. It would also form a driving memory in the form of aputer chip that allowed the mech to better integrate with the human.


    Wu Mo had spent a lot of effort and energy on this mech, so he decided to give it a name.


    It would be his "child," who would be extremely powerful when he fought against sea monsters in the future.


    Finally, the mech was born.


    After several days of production, a 130-meter-tall mech stood in the tall steel warehouse. It was the tallest mech to date.


    Its eyes flickered with a deep light, and it had two pairs of wings behind its square head. Its body was incredibly sturdy, and its aura was impressive.


    "This mech shall be called Dragon God!" Wu Mo said after thinking for a moment.

 Chapter 544 Dismantling The Original Experimental Equipment

    Wu Mo hoped that this mech would act as a god that protected China and resisted the invasion of all sea monsters.


    At this moment, there was a new discovery on the other side of the wormhole.


    Whenever a terrifying sea monster appeared, it would wipe out all creatures within a hundred nautical miles.


    However, Wu Mo knew that there were not only thirteen boxes in total. There were probably more undiscovered metal boxes in the deep sea.


    What he needed to figure out now was which parts of these metal boxes he could use for his device.


    "Keep harvesting!"


    Wu Mo gave the order to the nuclear-powered submarines, and they powered across the seabed without stopping their search.


    After a day of hard work, they found a total of twenty-seven mysterious metal boxes in the sea area hundreds of miles away from the middle cave!


    With these metal boxes, Wu Mo realized that he could finally start developing controble nuclear fusion.


    Although he began to return, he still required the nuclear-powered submarine to fish around in the sea from time to time. He now treated fishing as a routine job and would continue doing it.


    Once a new metal box was discovered, those in submarines had to report it immediately.


    The more materials they found, the better. More materials meant that more controble nuclear fusion reactors could be developed.


    At this moment, they ced the twenty-seven metal boxes together with the red metal box that they had discovered earlier.


    After careful testing, Wu Mo was pleasantly surprised to find that these twenty-seven metal boxes were not inferior to the red metal box in terms of toughness.


    This meant that they had amon origin in terms of material essence. It was likely that they all came from the mysterious, Tafaro.


    "That is amazing. It has such hard materials that can even withstand the impact of controble nuclear fusion!" Wu Mo muttered to himself.


    "What? Wu Mo, are you nning to use these metal boxes to research controble nuclear fusion?"


    When the old chief heard Wu Mo''s words, he was so shocked that he became speechless.


    "Goodness, what exactly is controble nuclear fusion?"


    Although the old chief was not a research expert, he had heard of it before.


    Once they achieved controble nuclear fusion, humans would be able to obtain unlimited energy and no longer have to worry about energy consumption.


    At that time, they could abandon wind energy, fire energy, electricity, and other energy sources.


    They could use the controble nuclear fusion reactor for continuous energy supply.


    By then, controble nuclear fusion reactors would be installed in satellites and spaceships.


    The inexhaustible energy would allow them to continue advancing in a fixed direction in space!


    Decades ago, humans had sessfullyunched exploration satellites into space.


    However, once these satellites passed through the atmosphere, they were pulled by gravity and had no choice but to wander aimlessly in space.


    They roamed randomly instead of in a fixed straight line.


    To create a straight path to a fixed target, the satellite needed to have constant power.


    Unfortunately, limited by energy, humans failed to create an inexhaustible power to keep the satellites moving forward.


    However, if controble nuclear fusion could be achieved, all of this would be a reality.


    Thepletion of controble nuclear fusion wouldpletely change the entire human world.


    Furthermore, if China could take the lead in mastering this top-notch technology, it would bring huge benefits to the country.


    "Wu Mo, if you actually develop controble nuclear fusion, we won''t know what kind of reward to give you!" The old chief smiled bitterly.


    Wu Mo was undoubtedly standing at the peak of scientific research in the world. Being a great scientist, he was highly regarded like a living fossil.


    Now, if he could achieve controble nuclear fusion, it would not only benefit China but also the entire human race!


    Therefore, Wu Mo threw himself into his research without reservation.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    The huge research team could only serve him and join him.


    When the members learned that they would be participating in controble nuclear fusion research, they were all excited.


    This was the greatest and most challenging and research project of the century. Who would not want to share in the glory?


    The controble nuclear fusion reactor waster tested in the vast desert.


    There was a huge experimental base in the middle of the desert, and it contained a device that was as huge as a disk. It was about ten meters in diameter and two to three meters thick.


    In the device, particles of various sizes were broken down into neutrons and quanta. They collided continuously to produce arge number of electrons.


    Once these electrons disappeared, they would fuse into new neutrons and quanta in a random manner.


    However, such explosions were uncontroble and random. The amount of energy it could produce was unpredictable.


    Nevertheless, once controble nuclear fusion was achieved, it would ensure a continuous supply of energy for mankind.


    By controlling the dposition of neutrons and quanta, a fixed number of electrons would be continuously produced.


    This was an amazing concept, and you could not find a top scientist who did not desire to achieve this goal.


    At this point, Wu Mo had already begun to instruct his team to dismantle their original experimental equipment.


    "What''s this? You''re dismantling the experimental equipment? Why is this happening?"


    An old scientist with white hair on the base retorted in surprise.


    "Mr. Wu, we know about your achievements in the field of scientific research, but this is a controble nuclear fusion reactor. We worked hard to develop it," the old scientist objected to their actions on the spot.


    However, someone beside Wu Mo smiled and said, "Professor Gu, Mr. Wu is doing this for the purpose of researching controble nuclear fusion. His project has been established, and it''s on the right track!"


    "What? The controble nuclear fusion project is official?"


    Professor Gu was so shocked when he heard this news that tears streamed down his face.


    "Oh, my God, I never thought I would witness the birth of controble nuclear fusion in my lifetime!"


    He promptly ordered his staff to cut off all the power and prepare to dismantle the experimental reactor.


    Soon, twenty-seven metal boxes were pulled over.


    With the exception of the red box that contained the important star map, the other twenty-seven could be used.


    Melting these metal boxes into an extremely sturdy shell was extremely difficult.


    Even so, Wu Mo had already found a way, or else he would not have brought them all here for testing.


    He nned topress the energy produced by therge-scale nuclear explosion and create piercing collisions via fixed points. This would slowly melt the metal boxes.


    It was a method that Wu Mo had discovered not long ago when he started to develop controble nuclear fusion.


    At least, that was what it looked like to the outside world.


    In actuality, Wu Mo had bought a top-notch device that could melt this material in the system''s store!


    It was a device that could only be used once. After it melted the twenty-seven metal boxes, the device would disappear.


    Everyone widened their eyes in excitement as they witnessed the metal boxes melting into the prototype of a shell.


    They knew that this shell would give birth to the greatest scientific invention of the century, the legendary controble nuclear fusion.


    At this time, the students in the R&D Academy also learned that Chief Engineer Wu was researching controble nuclear fusion.


    The little girl with the ponytail was eager to visit the research base to observe this great invention up close.


    Unfortunately, the R&D Academy had strict rules. Students could only do research on campus, and they could not go out at will.


    The little girl felt regretful, and she could only pray silently in her heart.


    She hoped that Wu Mo would sessfully develop controble nuclear fusion because it was also her dream!

 Chapter 545 Successful Lure

    The threat of sea monsters had always existed.


    Out of the five behemoths, the giant ape monster and the cockroach sea monster were dead. Only the Dark Ghoul that ranked first, the quasi sea monster that ranked third, and the hellhound that ranked fifth were left.


    These sea monsters were extremely intelligent. They knew that the wormhole had been destroyed and that theirpanions had been killed by man-made mechs. As such, they were keeping a low profile.


    They remained hidden while they sent the remaining sea monsters to randomly harass the humans.


    On this day, a coastal city was attacked by a sea monster army!


    Through satellite positioning, the people discovered that there were as many as fifty sea monsters in this army. It was probably the most powerful sea monster army to date.


    The Chinese immediately decided to destroy the sea monster army near the coast of the city. They would not let them escape!


    Ever since the wormhole was destroyed, the number of sea monsters had gradually decreased.


    If they could eliminate this sea monster army, they could greatly reduce the threat of sea monsters in the world.


    "Sigh, if Chief Engineer Wu''s Divine Dragon mech was repaired, we wouldn''t have to worry about the sea monster army now." An officer sighed.


    Even though Battle God and Zero could still be used, the power they could unleash against the sea monster army was limited.


    However, during this critical moment, Wu Mo suddenly appeared at the base!


    "Huh? Chief Engineer Wu, aren''t you researching controble nuclear fusion at the Western Desert Nuclear Reactor Base? Why are you here all of a sudden?"


    The officers present were puzzled. They weremanding the battle against the sea monsters on the front line, but they did not expect to see Wu Mo.


    Wu Mo smiled mysteriously. "Five mechs with human-machine integration are ready. Send them over immediately!"


    "What? We have five mechs with human-machine integration at our disposal?"


    Everyone present was incredibly surprised when they received this news.


    They sensed that they were thest to learn of this news and felt somewhat neglected.


    In reality, even the old chief did not know about this.


    Wu Mo had personally led the entire development process, which included the selection of the five mech pilots.


    Hong Peng and Dongfang Moyu were naturally among them. After all, their performance as mech pilots had been extremely outstanding. One could say that they were impable.


    Their previous defeat had not been due to their piloting skills. Their enemy had just been too powerful.


    Apart from the two of them, there were three other young pilots around the age of eighteen.


    They had great reflexes andposure. Wu Mo was very satisfied with their performance after he conducted many psychological tests.


    As for Wu Mo''s own Divine Dragon mech, it was still getting repairs on the base.


    Divine Dragon''s system wasplex and advanced. Therefore, it took plenty of effort and time to repair the mech after it suffered such horrific damage.


    However, with the current five mechs, it was only a matter of time before they destroyed the sea monster army.


    ...


    The moment the five mechs with human-machine integration entered the battlefield, the media around the world instantly went into an uproar.


    This battle attracted everyone''s attention.


    People knew that the number of sea monsters would gradually decrease since the wormhole had been destroyed.


    However, this sea monster army was probably the strongest one so far. Fifty sea monsters appeared before the cameras, and the audience stared at their screen with full concentration.


    Would these five mechs with human-machine integration be able topletely defeat the sea monster army?


    Dongfang Moyu and Hong Peng returned to the cockpit of their mechs. Their bodies trembled with excitement as they gripped the control stick tightly.


    Their hearts were racing!


    "It''s back! The feeling is finally back!"


    Dongfang Moyu closed his eyes as tears rolled down his cheeks.


    No one was more obsessed with mech piloting than he was, and it was an obsession that he could not let go.


    Now that he had regained the familiar feeling, his driving skills seemed to have improved to another level.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Kill them!" Dongfang Moyu said softly. The mech he piloted was like a ferocious tiger that pounced on its prey as it leapt forward.


    At this moment, everyone in the base held their breaths as they watched.


    Even though they knew in advance that the five human-machine integrated mechs were powerful, they still needed to test them in actualbat.


    Until they saw results, no one could predict the oue.


    "You have to win!"


    Every officer clenched their fists nervously, as they were worried for the pilots.


    The screens showed Dongfang Moyu and Hong Peng leading the charge. Soon, their mechs broke through the sea monster army''s formation.


    With their skillful techniques, smooth movements, and lethal force, they quickly defeated more than ten sea monsters.


    This disy inspired the novice pilots in the three mechs behind them.


    "This is how mechs should be! They''re invincible! All the sea monsters can go to hell!"


    The novice pilots were motivated by Dongfang Moyu and Hong Peng, who operated their mechs with passion.


    Although they were a little green and their movements were not as fluid, they quickly grew increasingly skillful.


    The five mechs formed an invincible team that gradually wiped out all the sea monsters.


    The people in the base cheered, "Victory! We finally won!"


    The soldiers cheered and waved their hands as their eyes welled up.


    Wu Mo looked at the scene before him with satisfaction. He had incorporated more advanced technology on top of the mechs'' previous foundations. This allowed the pilots to better unleash their potential.


    Wu Mo knew that humans would eventually destroy the sea monsters, but this process would take time.


    There might still be some sea monsters hiding in the dark.


    Fortunately, while mankind''s technological prowess was constantly improving, the strength of its cosmic visitors was stagnant.


    At some point, they would fall behind, and humans would destroy them.


    Just as Wu Mo was about to return to the desert base toplete the huge reactor shell, the image on the screen abruptly changed!


    A sea monster jumped out of the water moments before the monster army waspletely wiped out.


    Its body was huge, and its eyes were ferocious, as well as terrifying, like that of a demon.


    It was the Dark Ghoul, the one that topped the sea monster rankings!


    "Oh, my God! The Dark Ghoul! Look, it''s here!"


    At this moment, the experts in the Sea Monster Research Center got worked up too.


    Through their research, they discovered that the Dark Ghoul''s strength might exceed thebined strength of the second to fifth sea monsters on the list.


    By now, the strongest sea monster army had been destroyed, but the strongest Dark Ghoul had not been defeated.


    The five mechs gathered together and engaged in a fierce battle with the Dark Ghoul in the distance. The spectacle attracted everyone''s attention.


    "Mr. Wu, the Dark Ghoul has appeared!"


    Right then, Wu Mo saw the Dark Ghoul while he was on the main base.


    Among the five monsters, the half-human half-demon sea monster and the hellhound were only average in strength.


    Wu Mo was confident that if he could restore the Divine Dragon mech, he could easily tear apart his opponents in a head-on battle.


    However, the Dark Ghoul had always been mysterious and unpredictable. Hence, it was difficult for people to know how far it could go.


    Wu Mo had a bad feeling about this. He guessed that this monster was probably a product of a higher civilization from another.


    Why was it so huge, though? Were there no other creatures in the universe that were simr in size to humans?


    He shook his head and dismissed the idea.

 Chapter 546 Another Alien Civilization

    Humans had always tried to imagine what aliens looked like. Why did they have to be simr to humans?


    The Dark Ghoul was extraordinarily powerful, and itunched an attack on the five mechs with human-machine integration without fear.


    Although the sea monster army had been destroyed, it continued to wave its ws fearlessly. As such, it put one of the mechs in an extremely dangerous situation.


    However, Dongfang Moyu and Hong Peng quickly surrounded the mech and rescued it from danger.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    A few mechs waved their steel arms and gathered their strength to attack the Dark Ghoul.


    Just then, the Dark Ghoul suddenly released a strong ultrasonic wave from its eyes.


    "Oh, no! This ultrasonic wave is interfering with the control system!"


    Hong Peng realized what was happening. He shut down the operating system immediately and activated Autopilot Mode.


    The mech''s AI piloting system quickly determined that its surroundings were dangerous, so it turned around to retreat.


    The people on the base were dumbfounded, and they started to discuss the incident. "How is this possible? The mech''s retreating automatically!"


    "It''s because the Dark Ghoul released an ultrasonic wave that interfered with the mech''s operating system," Wu Mo exined with a serious expression. "They made the right decision. Losing control of the mech would bring great danger to the pilot."


    Everyone finally understood when they heard Wu Mo''s exnation.


    Soon after, Wu Mo ordered Dongfang Moyu and Hong Peng to question the monster.


    When Dongfang Moyu received the signal, he was shocked beyond words. He immediately shouted through the mech''s voice transmission system, "Which are you from?"


    The Dark Ghoul paused for a moment after it heard the mech''s question.


    Once it gradually adapted to thenguage, it replied, "Ie from the, Carlot. I''m here to save your primitive."


    Carlot?


    Wu Mo''s heart sank.


    As expected, this was a creature from another with advanced civilization.


    It seemed that the wormhole had been exposed.


    "Keep the Carlotian here at all costs!" Wu Mo ordered.


    His resolute tone further strengthened the confidence of the two mech pilots on the front line.


    Guided by the two ace pilots, Dongfang Moyu and Hong Peng, the mechs were currently engaged in a battle with the Dark Ghoul.


    With some hints from Wu Mo, they probed the Dark Ghoul as they fought it in an effort to get more information about Carlot.


    "How many light-years is your from us?" Dongfang Moyu asked as his mech brandished a steel machete.


    The Dark Ghoul was furious. "What good would it do for you to inquire about this?"


    Dongfang Moyu felt a little helpless. He did not expect the Dark Ghoul to be so petty.


    Right now, he only wanted to figure out its origin. It would be best if he could take this opportunity topletely destroy the monster as well.


    That way, not only would he remove any hidden danger it might pose to humans, but he would also improve his reputation.


    Dongfang Moyu wished to be the world''s strongest mech pilot.


    Now, all he needed was a battle that would push him up the ranks.


    If he could defeat the Dark Ghoul, he believed that everyone would think of him as the best mech pilot.


    Of course, Wu Mo had to retire from piloting a mech first. Dongfang Moyu knew that it would be difficult for him to surpass Wu Mo based on the guy''s performance on the Divine Dragon mech.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Our is 1,300 light-years away from you. You won''t be able to reach it even if you spend your entire life trying," the Carlotian said sincerely.


    "A thousand and three hundred light-years? That''s even farther than two Tafaros!"


    Wu Mo fell into deep thought after he heard this over in themand center.


    Meanwhile, the mech that Hong Peng was piloting sped over to join forces with Dongfang Moyu. They attacked the Dark Ghoul and left it with two deep wounds.


    "D*mn it! If my spaceship wasn''t parked on the other end of the wormhole, I wouldn''t be stuck here and I wouldn''t miss the opportunity to evolve a second time!" the Carlotian yelled in anger.


    "Hmm? Spaceship and second evolution?"


    When Wu Mo heard this crucial information, he immediately told Dongfang Moyu to ask, "How far is the spaceship from the wormhole''s coordinates? Besides, can everyone on your evolve?"


    The Carlotian dodged the attacks from the two mechs as it replied, "The spaceship is on the other side of the wormhole. You guys blew up the wormhole, so you can only find it through satellite detection. It''s actually somewhere in the asteroid belt, and it''s within fifty thousand kilometers of your''s atmosphere!"


    Wu Mo''s eyes lit up. In that case, they could find this ship in the asteroid belt.


    It was the crystallization of Carlot''s level of intelligence!


    "You haven''t answered my question about evolution," Dongfang Moyu continued to ask.


    "Hah!" the Carlotian said contemptuously. "It''s a gift that our advanced civilization has. How can low-level creatures like you understand it?!"


    After that, it let out a furious roar and swung its ws forward. Then, it proceeded to grip the mechs'' hands tightly.


    At this moment, the three of them began a fiercepetition, just like a tug-of-war, to see who was stronger.


    However, the Dark Ghoul was so busy dealing with the two mechs that it forgot about the other three mechs. They could still pose a huge threat to it!


    Kacha kacha...


    Three white beams of light shot down, and giant des stabbed into the Dark Ghoul''s waist at lightning speed!


    "Argh! Awoo¡­"


    The Dark Ghoul finally let out a series of miserable screams.


    One of the sharp des hit a weak spot in the monster''s waist. Once this spot was injured, a Carlotian would not be able to continue evolving.


    To them, this was more painful than death because the people of Carlot could only grow and improve through continuous evolution.


    Now, this mech had destroyed its life.


    "Go to hell!"


    The Carlotian turned around with rage and swung its huge tail at the mech.


    Even though the mech''s outer shell was sturdy, it still felt the effects of the tremendous force. As such, the pilot in the cockpit spat out a mouthful of blood.


    However, it was worth mentioning that the mech''s shock-absorbing features were excellent.


    Otherwise, the shocking attack earlier would not have only led to a mouthful of blood.


    The Carlotian had to escape. However, it did not escape into the deep sea but up to the sky.


    Swoosh...


    The Carlotian flew into the air and instantly spread its huge wings. It resembled a strange bird that covered the sky.


    "What? This guy has a huge pair of wings?"


    Over in themand center, Wu Mo and the other officers gaped at the scene before them in disbelief.


    Right then, a bold thought shed through Wu Mo''s mind.

 Chapter 547 Spaceship

    "Where has it been hiding its wings? How did they materialize all of a sudden? Has it been nning this? Is it trying to escape the atmosphere and find its ship in space?"


    In that case, could they monitor the Dark Ghoul to find its spaceship?


    Even if they did not discover its exact location, it would be good enough to get a general direction!


    A fleet was ready to intercept the Dark Ghoul in the air and deal a fatal blow.


    Meanwhile, the Dark Ghoul had already ascended to a height of several thousand meters above ground. It was gradually disappearing into the distance and bing a tiny ck dot.


    At this critical moment, Wu Mo suddenly ordered, "Don''t kill it. Let it leave!"


    "What? Are we letting it go just like that?"


    Everyone was quite surprised when they heard Wu Mo''s instruction.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, if it escapes the atmosphere, we''ll be helpless!" an officer could not help but say.


    The entire human race would not be able to effectively attack it at that point.


    Wu Mo''s words left everyone confused.


    However, ording to him, there seemed to be a way to intercept the Dark Ghoul and even obtain its spaceship.


    In reality, even the most advanced satellite surveince system on Earth had not discovered the mysterious spaceship.


    The initial estimation of fifty thousand kilometers had actually been wrong. The actual distance was definitely muchrger.


    Was it possible that the spaceship had deviated from its original position after passing through the wormhole? Perhaps it had floated to an even more distant ce?


    Wu Mo knew that there were only two possibilities.


    Firstly, even if they found the ship, it would be too far away for the ship to return to Carlot.


    Secondly, if the spaceship was close enough to their''s surface, there would be a way to interfere with its signal and render the spaceship useless.


    Hence, Wu Mo was not worried about the Dark Ghoul escaping.


    It did not matter.


    They could observe the spaceship at a close distance instead and even try to blow it up or take samples.


    Otherwise, mankind would not be able to transport weapons to space for the time being.


    China was now determined to reach the most advanced level in aerospace. The establishment of the first base in space would be a major international event.


    At present, several powerful countries in the world were scrambling to develop their aerospace industry. Meanwhile, China had taken the lead and established a space station.


    The sessful operation of this space station would undoubtedly help the establishment of a base!


    When that happened, armed forces would be sent into space to better protect the.


    The whole of China and the surrounding countries witnessed the Dark Ghoul flying into the sky.


    People looked up at the scene in surprise.


    A huge sea monster had spread its wings and flown into the sky like a featherless bird.


    It looked extremely absurd, and it was hard to believe what they were seeing.


    In the end, the Dark Ghoul left. In space, a few artificial satellites locked onto its coordinates following instructions from the ground.


    Not long after, this Carlotian disguised as a sea monster sessfully broke through the atmospheric blockade and rushed into space.


    A few lonely artificial satellites were scanning the vast expanse, but the Dark Ghoul deliberately avoided their path and flew to the other side.


    Through satellite surveince, Wu Mo could clearly see the Dark Ghoul''splicated movements on the star map.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    It was rippling across space in an irregr and meaningless manner.


    "Hmph, what is this guy doing?"


    Wu Mo''s eyes were sharp. He realized that the Dark Ghoul was probably trying to confuse him.


    The Dark Ghoul eventually chose a path and continued to fly in that direction.


    If one wanted to maintain fixed eleration while traveling in a straight line in space, one needed to have an endless supply of energy.


    There had to be arge amount of substances, such as fat, that could be dposed into energy in the Dark Ghoul''s huge body.


    Therefore, Wu Mo knew that it could maintain a fixed speed and move in one direction.


    However, the Dark Ghoul was starting to slow down. It was obvious that the energy in its body was almost exhausted.


    Wu Mo frowned. He spected that the Dark Ghoul was struggling and not willing to give up because it was not far from its spaceship.


    But he could only watch for now.


    Finally, the Dark Ghoul flew further away and almost left the satellite''s range of detection.


    Wu Mo sent out some interference, and the signal disrupted the Dark Ghoul severely. It suddenly realized that it might not be able to return to its spaceship.


    "D*mn it! My spaceship is just around the corner. Oh, Carlot, when will I be able to return?"


    The Dark Ghoul roared indignantly.


    This sound traveled extremely far, and it was captured by the artificial satellite. It was then promptly sent to themand center.


    When Wu Mo heard it, his eyes glinted as he stared at the Dark Ghoul.


    He knew that the spaceship was probably not far from the Dark Ghoul''s location.


    The spaceship was definitely not moving fast.


    Otherwise, the Dark Ghoul would not have been elerating in a straight line but in a curved line.


    Nevertheless, due to the limitations of the satellite''s detection range, they were temporarily unable to spot the spaceship.


    With that said, Wu Mo had pinpointed its direction. He would immediately research andunch a satellite with arger range of detection.


    After he ended his observation, Wu Mo no longer paid any attention to the huge Carlotian.


    Due to the signal interference, the Dark Ghoul failed to find its spaceship and ended up exhausting its energy.


    It was fated to float in space like cosmic dust, and its survival would depend on luck.


    To be honest, Wu Mo did not have to develop a satellite with a wider detection range by himself. A group of professional aerospace engineers and top scientists couldplete the task.


    To increase the detection range, Wu Mo would provide them with an excellent chip.


    This chip waspletely different from the all-purpose module.


    It contained an extremely powerful detection system that would release a signal that was ten times stronger than before. This would ensure that the detection range was at least three to five timesrger!


    Thus, Wu Mo quickly demonstrated how magical the chip could be.


    After the artificial satellite waspleted, Wu Mo waited anxiously for a while.


    Finally, the artificial satellite named Sky Exploration wasunched without incident.


    The satellite sessfully surpassed its escape velocity before it slowly decelerated. Then, it floated quietly in space and released its detection signal.


    As expected, the Sky Exploration satellite made a huge discovery.

 Chapter 548 Research And Development Of Controlled Nuclear Fusion

    When the researchers and top aerospace engineers saw the scene, they did not know whether tough or cry. "It''s unbelievable that it''s so close!"


    It turned out that the old man-made satellite had only been about three hundred miles away from the spaceship.


    They had invested heavily in the Sky Exploration satellite''s research and development. However, the huge improvement in its detection range turned out to be a wastebecause they saw the flying ship within three hundred miles.


    Although three hundred miles seemed rtively far on the ground, it was an insignificant distance in space.


    It was really surprising.


    Thanks to the close proximity, the satellites could better observe it from all directions and capture photos, as well as information, from many different angles.


    They discovered that the spaceship had a very sci-fi look and that it was between three hundred to five hundred meters long.


    The spaceship''s interior was made up ofyers of thick and heavy bright metal, which made it exceptionally sturdy.


    If the satellites had not been so close, they would not have been able to see its internal structure.


    The facilities inside the spaceship were fully adapted to meet one''s daily needs. The heights of Carlot''s civilization were evident.


    The exquisite interioryout was far superior to the Blue''s aesthetic standards. It was jaw-dropping.


    This spaceship captured Carlot''s glorious civilization, and it also brought the humans a huge opportunity for transformation.


    Wu Mo could not help but fantasize, ''Ah, how wonderful would it be if I could bring this spaceship back?!''


    However, this thought could only remain a daydream.


    Even if humans could achieve controble nuclear fusion and create simr spaceships, they could only travel freely within one light-year.


    They might have sufficient energy to reach a more distant star field, but space was filled with danger.


    Who could be sure that they would not encounter extremely chaotic star clusters?


    For example, a red giant could release cosmic rays before its death, or there could be supernovas preceding the birth of a star.


    These were all dangerous urrences, and encountering them would only lead to death.


    Even so, Wu Mo could still gain a lot from the ship.


    If he wanted to develop a simr spaceship in the future, this model would undoubtedly be a valuable reference.


    After all, it was from a with a highly advanced civilization. Their creation would definitely be of great significance.


    "Change the angle and look at other positions!"


    After the satellite received Wu Mo''smand, it slowly rotated and began to observe the bottom of the spaceship.


    The entire observation process was very long, and itsted several hours.


    In the meantime, Sky Exploration was still trying to find the huge Carlotian and trying to figure out if it was close to the spaceship.


    After all, if it entered the spaceship, it would spell absolute disaster to the entire human race.


    No one was sure whether the spaceship could still be activated. Would an interster war break out once the Carlotian returned to its?


    The humans of today could only race against time. They knew that danger was approaching, but they had no choice but to wait for death.


    The development of science and technology was of utmost importance. The first to make a breakthrough first would hold the greatest decision-making power and initiative.


    ...


    After his observation, Wu Mo returned to the Western Desert Nuclear Reactor Base.


    The nuclear fusion reactor''s outer shell was gradually beingpleted.


    Although this huge steel structure was not as big as the previous one, its system could still support aplete controble nuclear fusion experiment.


    Several excited scientists reported to Wu Mo, "Chief Engineer Wu, the reactor''s shell is ready!"


    Wu Mo nodded. Next, he would moderate the entire nuclear fusion process.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Unlike normal nuclear fusion, controble nuclear fusion was the key.


    Ordinary nuclear fusion could produce huge explosive energy and create weapons that would shock the world.


    Once you added the "controble" part, its power would increase to an unimaginable degree, even though its effects were not as violent.


    Research on controble nuclear fusion was not done in a day. Even when everything progressed smoothly, it would take a long time. It could take three to five months, or even up to ten years.


    The light particle reactor and its outer shell were ready. Next, a huge current of up to a million volts would be applied to forcefully prate the particles. This would cause them to go into a state of unrest.


    It was the only way to break down the neutrons and the quanta inside the solid shell. They would then collide with each other to produce an endless stream of energy.


    Having solved the material issue did not mean that other problems would not crop up, but it certainly made the process less difficult.


    A violent reaction soon urred in the controble nuclear fusion reactor. Protons and quanta kept colliding while continuously producing energy.


    The electricity in the thick optical cables constantly flowed into a dissipation chamber in the distance.


    Fortunately, they were in the Western Desert, and there was enough buffer space. Otherwise, there would be nowhere to release the massive energy.


    They could not use this energy for the time being because its unstable nature might cause damage.


    "Chief Engineer Wu has seeded! We''ve finally seeded!" a scientist shouted excitedly.


    The controble nuclear fusion reaction had begun. The only thing left to do was observe.


    If they could achieve a continuous reaction, they could announce to the world that controble nuclear fusion was possible.


    Next, they only needed to find a carrier to receive an endless stream of energy so that the energy would never be cut off.


    At this moment, Wu Mo was the first to p his hands.


    The researchers on the scene echoed his actions, and the warm apuse was as shocking as thunder.


    "Congrattions, everyone!" Wu Mo said enthusiastically. "We are witnesses and participants of this great controble nuclear fusion research!"


    As he finished speaking, the apuse became even more intense.


    Excitement filled the eyes of all the scientists who were present. Even the calmer and more experienced scientists burst into tears.


    Controlled nuclear fusion meant a huge breakthrough for human civilization.


    When the time came, there would be limitless energy, and an unprecedented miracle would be born.


    It was unimaginable.


    In addition, the sess of controble nuclear fusion wouldpletely change the current energy structure. Many industries that consumed a lot of energy would be eliminated.


    People would pay more attention to environmental protection and protect the that they relied on for survival.


    At that time, the energy provided by theprehensive synthesis could be continuously transported from the nuclear fusion reactor base to various ces.


    Countries with more controble nuclear fusion reactors would have an advantage.


    At least for now, it seemed that the first reactor belonged to China.


    China would also be the first country in the world to sessfully realize controble nuclear fusion and apply it in real life.


    People would observe the reactor and record the data twenty-four hours a day.


    Once the data indicated that everything was stable, Wu Mo would determine if they could proceed with delivering energy.


    The energy produced was currently being consumed in the dissipation chamber in the desert.


    However, in the future, it might be transmitted elsewhere through optical cables or other means.


    There was no need for a medium. It could be transmitted directly through the vacuum and sent to various ces that needed energy.


    The moment this insider news leaked out, their higher-ups, including the old chief, were shocked.

 Chapter 549 Public Auction For Life First

    The news continued to spread, and all the key figures in China learned about it.


    They were incredibly busy because controble nuclear fusion would greatly change the existing structure of energy.


    They couldpletely abandon many things, such as thermal power stations, coal power generation, or hydraulic power generation.


    However, Wu Mo knew that the sea monsters had notpletely disappeared.


    They could not underestimate the mysterious quasi sea monster and the fifth-ranking hellhound sea monster.


    With the death of the other three giants, these two had be increasingly cunning. They had not shown themselves for about half a month.


    In the meantime, the three major potions in the Institute of Special Biology had entered thete stage of poprization. Life First had increased the lifespan of many Chinese people.


    Now, Wu Mo was ready to sell them.


    Once news of this came out, there was a huge stir!


    "Oh, my God, China is going to sell the Life potions!"


    As soon as a senior reporter from a top foreign media outlet heard about this, he immediately went to China''s Institute of Special Biology for an interview.


    The interviewees included Xu Wanqing and a few other researchers.


    After all, Wu Mo had to travel between the Sea Monster Research Base and the Western Desert Nuclear Reactor Base.


    As for the research site of the three potions, Wu Mo could pretty much leave Xu Wanqing and the others in charge.


    They only needed Wu Mo''s authorization to open up the sale of Life First.


    Following his advice, the remaining stock of Life First would be quickly sold to people who needed it abroad.


    They would prioritize those who had made significant contributions to the entire human society, such as scientists or top talents in a certain field.


    It was Wu Mo''s wish. He believed that Life First should never be used on useless individuals because it was a divine medicine that could increase one''s lifespan.


    They could increase a useless person''s lifespan, but in the end, he would still be useless!


    His words immediately caused a great uproar.


    However, Wu Mo was a straightforward person. Once they understood his opinion, no one dared to refute him.


    "May I ask where Mr. Wu Mo is?"


    The reporter was a little disappointed when he arrived at the Institute of Special Biology.


    He was there to interview Wu Mo, but he realized that Wu Mo was not around!


    "Chief Engineer Wu is extremely busy at the moment. I''m afraid that it will be difficult to interview him," a researcher said with a bitter smile.


    "In that case, please assist me with this interview. How many units of Life First will be released for sale, and how much will it be per unit?"


    Pricing was always the most important issue.


    How much would Life First cost?


    Right then, Life First''s price was finally revealed.


    "A bottle of Life First with a standard dosage will be priced between twenty million to fifty million yuan," a researcher said. "As for the specific price, we will only know when it''s officially on sale.


    What the hell?!


    Twenty million to fifty million?


    Many people were shocked when they heard the answer.


    Regr people abroad were also eager to buy Life First to extend their lives.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Some wished to be younger, and others who were born with more mature looks wished to change their appearance using this potion. It would act as another kind of beauty tool.


    However, after they heard the astronomical figure, they werepletely disappointed!


    There was no doubt that they could not afford it!


    "Sigh, only the rich will be able to y around with Life First. Why weren''t we given any consideration?"


    Many regr folk sighed.


    How could they understand the reasoning behind this decision?


    Imagine, if Life First were sold at a cheap price, many people would stock up and hoard arge number of potions like scalpers.


    Therefore, most regr individuals would still not be able to afford the potion.


    As such, they had made the correct decision.


    It was better to set the price slightly higher so that those who could afford it could also meet the standard line of purchase!


    Some timeter, there was a Life First press conference, and Wu Mo finally showed up.


    It would have been unreasonable for him to not even show up at the press conference.


    Numerous well-known media outlets from all over the world were present.


    All the reporters positioned themselves in front of the camera as lights shed, and they asked Wu Mo questions about Life First.


    The atmosphere was unusually heated.


    The first reporter stood up with great interest and sincerely asked, "Mr. Wu, we''ve all heard that Life First will cost somewhere between twenty million to fifty million yuan. Can you tell us the exact price?"


    After the press conference ended, the official sales channel for Life First would be opened. When that happened, people could finally purchase it online.


    The media hoped to get information about the potion''s price and reveal it first so that people would be mentally prepared.


    Those who were capable could take advantage of the time gap to do their best in raising funds. Otherwise, they could just go bankrupt from buying the potion.


    In reality, even if they had to spend all their savings, many people were willing to buy this magical potion.


    After all, it would add thirty years to their lifespan and give them a youthful look.


    With such results, they would not have to worry about earning their money back in the future.


    Money could be earned, but an opportunity like Life First could not be missed!


    People also predicted that once it was officially on sale, the first batch of potions would be sold out in an instant.


    Many people in the world could afford to buy the potion. For one, the number of buyers was far greater than the supply of Life First.


    Facing the camera, Wu Mo calmly replied, "We''llunch about five hundred bottles of Life First in our first batch. The initial price of each bottle is forty-eight million yuan!"


    They would not release all of it at once. It needed to be released in batches, so they set the first batch at five hundred bottles.


    All the reporters present could not help but gasp when they heard the price.


    Everyone had initially guessed that the price would be around thirty million yuan. They did not expect it to be as high as forty-eight million yuan!


    The reporter pondered for a moment and asked a more pointed question, "Mr. Wu, are you deliberately selling Life First at such a high price so that you can harvest the money of the rich?"


    He could not help but feel a little uneasy after he posed the question.


    However, Wu Mo was clearly unmoved. He calmly replied, "Many parties decided on the pricing of Life First after multiple discussions. I didn''t make the decision alone. If you have doubts about the price, perhaps you should ask whether any other country or institution can develop such a magical drug?"


    As soon as he said this, the people went into an uproar. Everyone realized what a great response it was!

 Chapter 550 Quick Purchasing

    It was, without a doubt, a p to the reporter''s face.


    Wu Mo was telling him, "If you think it''s too expensive, you can try buying it elsewhere, provided that you can find it in the first ce!"


    Everyone knew that rare items were naturally worth a lot.


    The price was reasonable for such a miraculous potion.


    The reporter''s question had indeed been a little ignorant.


    Furthermore, Wu Mo made it clear that he had not set the price on his own. It resulted from discussions between many parties. He only provided his own suggestions and references.


    The reporter smiled awkwardly and sat back down in silence.


    He did not feel qualified to ask any more questions.


    Then, the other reporters continued to ask questions about Life First.


    For example, would the first five hundred bottles have the same effect as the ones in the trials?


    In response to this question, an expert patted his chest without hesitation and guaranteed that Life First would have the same effect as the trial drug that China had developed. There would be no difference.


    With that, the press conference ended sessfully.


    Soon after, people around the world fixed their eyes on Life First''s official website.


    Once the official website was updated, the purchase portal quickly appeared.


    Everyone tried their best to buy it, and Wu Mo also paid attention to the progress online.


    In just fifty seconds, all five hundred bottles of Life First were sold!


    "Heavens¡­ Isn''t that crazy?"


    The experts and researchers did not know whether tough or cry.


    They had expected the potions to sell out quickly once they were made avable, but they never thought it would be so fast. It literally happened in the blink of an eye!


    "Five hundred bottles were sold in less than a minute. Each bottle was sold for forty-eight million, so how much money does thate to?"


    One of the researchers calcted the numbers, and the astronomical figure that he got in the end made him sigh.


    "The first batch alone sold for more than two billion, and this batch only ounts for less than one-tenth of our inventory," another researcher muttered.


    However, when he thought of the potion''s miraculous effects, billions of dors were not worth mentioning.


    Strictly speaking, it was priceless!


    Wu Mo previously had no ns to sell it to the public. Now that it was open for sale, it was considered a blessing to the world.


    "Director Wu, we can''t wait to know when the second batch of Life First will be released!"


    Phone calls came in from all over the world.


    Some had failed to get their hands on the potion during their first attempt because their hands had not been quick enough. They were filled with regret, and now they were looking forward to the arrival of the next batch.


    They swore that next time, they would be the first to get the potion!


    Wu Mo replied, "We will not be selling Life First on a regr basis. I can''t even confirm the exact date, so please pay attention to the official website at all times."


    Everyone was speechless when they heard this. What a pity. "Director Wu, can you stop ying with us? We''re about to cry! If we were topete, who would be fast enough to snatch the potion first? You don''t know when you''ll release the second batch of products? Doesn''t that mean we have to sit in front of the screen day and night without blinking?"


    Immediately after, some smarter individuals began to look for connections. They tried to get inside information from Wu Mo''s close friends to learn the specific date of the next release.


    However, it was obvious that everyone would keep it a top secret. Even Wu Mo himself never revealed the information, so the rest naturally had no way of knowing.


    As a result, the top tycoons around the world were in an uproar, and a strange phenomenon began to spread: They hired people to keep an eye on Life First''s official website 24/7 and pay attention to the developments on the website at all times.


    Therefore, this gave birth to a new industry of quick purchasing!


    Purchasing agents were nothing new, but once the element of speed was involved, the buying process became much more challenging.


    Quick purchasing not only depended on the speed of the Inte, but also the agility of the buyer''s fingers.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Only thebination of the two could ensure optimal speed.


    An updated link to Life First''s official website suddenly appeared one morning.


    In an instant, countless quick purchasing masters went into action and clicked to buy Life First at top speed.


    Some were happy, others were sad, and many could not figure out why they had chosen to go online at this time.


    Many quick purchasing agents had even dozed off because of fatigue, only to instantly wake up when the link was posted. They immediately ced their orders.


    This time, it took a little longer for Life First to sell out¡ªone minute and eighteen seconds. Be that as it may, it was still shocking enough.


    There were a total of six hundred bottles this time, a hundred more than previously.


    However, the six hundred bottles of potions were still swept clean. Many people still failed to buy them, and they fell into despair.


    "Heavens, I didn''t manage to buy it again! What should I do?"


    These individuals felt endlessly wronged.


    They thought that they could buy Life First by hiring a fast purchasing agent, but they discovered that theirpetitors had also hired purchasing agents who were even faster.


    Was that not extremely tragic?


    Those who sessfully bought Life First were also dumbfounded.


    Sixty million per bottle?


    Yes, they ended up spending twelve million more than they had expected.


    Although it was not considered a huge amount of money to them, it was still money that they had earned through hard work!


    Besides, the new price gave people an ominous feeling. Perhaps the price of Life First would continue to rise.


    "Director Wu, we followed your instructions and put out six hundred bottles in one go. They were sold out in one minute and eighteen seconds. Each bottle was sold for sixty million yuan," the staff in charge of sales excitedly reported to Wu Mo.


    Wu Mo nodded calmly. "This is exactly what I want. The new price is within my estimation as well. Life First will be released in batches, and we will increase the price of each batch based on the previous batch."


    This news caused panic among the world''s rich.


    They could vaguely sense that as Life First became more scarce, it would be more expensive in the future.


    In the end, they might have to spend hundreds of millions just to buy one bottle!


    This was all hard-earned money, and they could not bear to spend it so casually.


    Therefore, hiring a quick purchasing agent was a wise move.


    All the majorpanies started advertising top-notch quick purchasing agents. Although they were expensive, they possessed extreme hand speed and Inte speed.


    However, a certain media outlet secretly spread the news that the research team led by Wu Mo wouldunch Life Second next month.


    As soon as they made this im, people from the entire world voiced their opinions!


    "That can''t be, right? Life Second is said to be an upgraded version of Life First. It can extend one''s lifespan by sixty years and allow one to grow thirty years in reverse!"


    "Yeah, I don''t believe it either. No country would easily reveal a godly medicine like Life Second, right?"


    "Sigh, how great would it be if it were true? Life Second could increase one''s lifespan by sixty years."


    Suchments weremon, and no one was willing to believe that Life Second would be sold.


    In fact, Wu Mo had never revealed this news. The malicious media was just trying to attract attention and traffic by making groundless usations.


    Ever since this information was made known, many people began to ask Wu Mo if he actually intended to sell Life Second.


    Even the old chief called to express his concern.


    After the call connected, the chief remained silent for a moment before he seriously said, "Wu Mo, although our country has already poprized Life Second, you have to understand that it''s still an extremely rare potion. If we promote it on a global scale, we''ll lose all our advantages."

 Chapter 551 The Future Of Mech Combat

    Wu Mo had a solemn expression ashe calmly replied, "Chief, please rest assured. Although such a situation may ur in the future, it will definitely not happen at this stage. We have to ensure that Life First is fully utilized."


    Hearing Wu Mo''s answer, the old chief finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    He was worried that Wu Mo would reveal Life Second to the public without permission. If that happened, the whole world might very well research this iparably precious potion.


    If they also ended up mastering this technology, China would suffer the consequences.


    Even though Life First was facing the threat of a technological breach, they still had Life Second as their trump card.


    In addition, the miraculous Biological Regeneration Agent could help disabled people all over the world.


    However, the agent had yet to be fully poprized in China, so they would not be selling it to the outside world.


    One day, Wu Mo arrived at arge mech training center.


    Wu Mo was visiting the center because the principal had connected with him and sincerely invited him to guide the students in training.


    The principal had also sent him an invitation many times. If Wu Mo did not go, he would be putting on airs.


    Besides, since Wu Mo had previously been to the R&D Academy to guide students in their research and development, why could he not drop by the mech training center to give a lesson?


    In China, mech academies had sprung up like bamboo shoots after the rain, and many ces had set up simr piloting schools.


    There were both official and civilian organizations. Thergest one was the Zhongtian Mech Training Center, which had been established by the military.


    In this center, a total of five thousand students would receive training for half a year each time.


    Once their training ended, the cadets would basically be equipped with the ability to pilot mechs on their own.


    However, the knowledge of piloting a mech was ratherplex, and they needed to study it continuously.


    Even though the students could graduate sessfully, that did not mean they could pilot a mech and fight sea monsters.


    The sea monsters were powerful, and the sea''s environment wasplicated. The storms above the water, the whirlpools at the bottom of the sea, and the effects of various air currents were all important factors.


    Therefore, it was far from enough to just master the skills of piloting a mech onnd. One had to adapt to variousplex environments.


    The cunning nature of sea monsters and their different attributes, as well as abilities, required pilots to adapt to the situation and react quickly as they operated the mechs.


    The knowledge that students could learn in this field was unimaginable!


    Almost all the teachers at the Zhongtian Mech Training Center consisted of the most outstanding mech pilots in the military.


    They had started learning ever since Wu Mo developed mechs, so they possessed a lot of experience.


    On top of that, they had two special teachers¡ªDongfang Moyu and Hong Peng.


    However, elites like them were pirs of the country, and they always had to be on standby to fight the sea monsters.


    Hence, they could not stay in the Zhongtian Mech Training Center forever.


    At the end of each month, these two specially hired teachers would take time out to give a lecture.


    The students of the Zhongtian Mech Training Center would eagerly wait for lessons from these two teachers.


    Today, however, their anticipation reached an unprecedented climax!


    "Heavens! I heard that Chief Engineer Wu''sing to our school to give a lecture. I wonder if it''s true?"


    "Of course it''s true. Didn''t you hear about it yesterday? The news has been spreading like wildfire, and plenty of students are scrambling to get a spot in the lecture!"


    "Sigh, what a pity. It would be great if we could attend the lecture too. But it seems that only the elite students are eligible. We''re not qualified."


    "Haha, don''t say that. Many teachers want to attend the lecture too, but not every teacher can enjoy the opportunity!"


    The entire center discussed the event enthusiastically, and Wu Mo''s arrival became a well-known topic.


    Many students and even teachers rubbed their fists as they thought of ways to attend the lecture!


    After all, this was the only time Wu Mo was going to give a lecture, and there were a limited number of seats. It was impossible for the entire school to squeeze into a small ssroom.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    They picked thergest ssroom in the Zhongtian Mech Training Center, and it could amodate eighty people at one time.


    When Wu Mo arrived, there was a hugemotion in the entire training center!


    Wu Mo arrived at the gate in a government vehicle. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw that the center''s gate had been decorated withnterns, streamers, and even banners.


    His arrival had filled the entire ce with rednterns, ribbons, flowers, and other decorations. The entire Zhongtian Mech Training Center had taken on a new look!


    The students were either focused on the windows or looking around the ssroom absent-mindedly.


    When they saw Wu Mo and a group of people enter the training center, the principal and teachers went forward to wee them. The students were all extremely excited.


    "Look, Chief Engineer Wu is here!"


    "Sigh, it''s such a pity that we can''t personally wee him."


    "Weing is nothing! I want to take a picture with Chief Engineer Wu. It would be an opportunity of a lifetime!"


    Wu Mo had great achievements in the field of scientific research and made great contributions in the fight against the sea monsters. As such, he was as noble as a god in the eyes of the young students.


    After Wu Mo entered the center, he had a long conversation with Principal Liu of the Zhongtian Mech Training Center and learned more about their situation.


    "Mr. Wu, your ssroom is on the eighth floor of the research building. It has eighty seats, and there are exactly eighty elite students attending your lecture this time¡­"


    Principal Liu briefed Wu Mo on the arrangements and led him to the office building so that he could rest.


    The lecture was scheduled for 2.00 pm to 3.00 pm in the afternoon.


    Wu Mo nodded. The purpose of this lecture was to spread the basic knowledge of mech piloting. It did not matter to him when and where it was held.


    Soon after, Wu Mo entered the office building with the principal to get a better understanding of the office facilities.


    As Wu Mo looked around the entire training center, he was filled with emotions.


    With China''s current professional training in the mech field, there would definitely be arge number of outstanding mech pilots in the future!


    He could foresee that the sea monsters would have a hard time in the future and would no longer be able to cause any harm to China.


    This was because every time a sea monster appeared, mechs would immediately follow to kill it.


    ...


    "Look, Mr. Wu is here!"


    When Wu Mo stepped into the office building and looked around, the teachers talked about him excitedly.


    They looked at Wu Mo as if he was a superstar or an idol.


    Even though these teachers were young, they were the first batch of pilots to join the mech industry.


    Each of them had been inspired by Wu Mo to choose this path.


    "Hmm, is the scene of that glorious battle still ying here?"


    Wu Mo''s gaze fell on a television on the wall. It kept ying the battle where he defeated the mantis sea monster with the Divine Dragon mech.


    At that time, Wu Mo was like a god who had descended to the mortal world. His first time piloting a mech shocked the entire world.


    The mantis sea monster was known as the monster that ranked second, but it was defeated by Wu Mo''s Divine Dragon mech in the end. Defeating it ended up being as easy as chopping melons and vegetables!


    There were also many portraits depicting Wu Mo''s many glorious deeds on the surrounding walls.


    It was obvious that Wu Mo''s influence in the Zhongtian Mech Training Center was unrivaled.


    Finally, the moment that everyone had been waiting for arrived.


    At 2.00 pm, Wu Mo walked into the ssroom in the research building.


    "Wee, Chief Engineer Wu. All the students who are attending the lecture have arrived!" Principal Liu said with a smile.

 Chapter 552 Advanced Mech Combat Technique

    Wu Mo nodded and walked onto the stage.


    At this moment, he had transformed into an ordinary teacher. He felt deeply satisfied as he looked at the young and determined faces below the stage.


    These young people were the future pirs of China. They would shoulder the sacred mission of defending China and be outstanding mech pilots, who would fight the sea monsters to death.


    Wu Mo understood that once the sea monsters were eliminated, mechs would gradually disappear from history''s stage.


    Unless there was a threat to humanity, these giant killing machines could not be revealed so easily.


    These eighty youngsters were top students who had been carefully selected by the school. They had known for a long time that Chief Engineer Wu would be their guest speaker.


    They also understood that this ss was of great significance to their lives.


    Everyone sat upright and listened attentively to Wu Mo. They picked up their notebooks so that they could jot things down at any time.


    Finally, Wu Mo began his lecture.


    "Good afternoon, students. I''m Wu Mo. Today, I''m here to share my knowledge and experience in mech piloting with all of you. Please feel free to ask questions during the lecture. We canmunicate and learn from each other."


    Every student was filled with admiration when they heard Wu Mo''s humble words.


    He showed them what it meant to have foresight. Despite being a great pioneer and a top figure in the mech scientific researchmunity, Wu Mo still maintained a humble attitude and advocated learning from his students.


    No wonder he could reach such heights!


    Principal Liu and the other heads also approved Wu Mo''s low-key opening speech.


    They were determined to learn from Wu Mo in the future.


    Following that, Wu Mo began to talk about the cause and effect of a mech''s birth.


    He first recalled his original intention of creating a mech before he described the arduous process of developing it.


    In the end, he expressed his vision: Once mech piloting became amon upation, he hoped that the sea monsters would bepletely eradicated and peaceful days would return to China.


    He hoped that the mech pilots would always remember their original intentions and use their knowledge to protect China.


    Wu Mo''s words were met with thunderous apuse!


    The apuse spread throughout the entire research building, and students outside on the field were envious of those in the ssroom.


    They looked at the ssroom with eagerness, as they wanted to be a member of Wu Mo''s ss.


    Next, there was a question-and-answer session. One after another, the elite students stood up to ask Wu Mo for advice.


    Their questions revolved around mech piloting since Wu Mo was undoubtedly an authority figure in the area.


    Besides, Wu Mo had personally created all the mechs. He knew the purpose of everyponent and design.


    He patiently answered the students'' questions about mechs and gave them a chance to clear any doubts they had.


    Not only did the elite students gain a lot, but even the teachers and Principal Liu benefited.


    "So that''s how it is¡­"


    All the teachers nodded.


    In the past, they were somewhat confused about the mech field. Thanks to Wu Mo''s exnation, they had no more doubts.


    The ss was about to end when Wu Mo suddenly said, "Students, I heard that there are a few mechs on the field behind us. In that case, why don''t we go down and give them a spin?"


    Once they heard this, the students were extremely excited!


    "Alright, Chief Engineer Wu! We all want to see how you pilot a mech!" a student blurted out.


    A chance to personally witness Wu Mo operating a mech at such close proximity was a rare opportunity in China!


    Principal Liu and the teachers were quite surprised too.


    Wu Mo was supposed to leave immediately after the lecture ended. They dared not force such a busy person to stay too long.


    They never thought Wu Mo would take the initiative to add another lesson for the students by demonstrating his mech operating skills.


    Principal Liu immediately ordered the teachers to go down and prepare ordingly.


    Wu Mo then led the eighty elite students to thebat field.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    At this moment, there were also a couple of other students on the field.


    The fiverge mechs before Wu Mo were ordinary and useless in actualbat against sea monsters. Nevertheless, the structure of their system was no different from the more advanced mechs.


    All the students were shocked to see Wu Mo.


    When they heard that he was going to demonstrate his mech operating skills, they were ecstatic.


    There were about two hundred people on the field. They sat in a circle, and the atmosphere was tense.


    No one said a word because their eyes were focused on one of therge mechs!


    Wu Mo walked into the mech''s cockpit, closed the hatch, and examined the operating system before him.


    Inside, Wu Mo skillfully manipted the control buttons and bars. It was no different from the first generation mech he had created, Zero.


    "Students, you already understand a mech''s basic movement patterns and offensive maneuvers," he said calmly through the voice transmission device.


    "Now, I''m going to show you a more advancedbat technique."


    "What? Advancedbat technique?"


    The moment they heard Wu Mo''s words, everyone was rendered speechless. They stared ahead, as they were afraid of missing any exciting detail.


    Principal Liu and a few teachers were also nervously waiting for Wu Mo''s demonstration.


    Suddenly, Wu Mo''s mech began to move!


    The mech raised its left arm and stabbed it forward at an extremely tricky angle and speed.


    It was as if a brave and fearless god of war had appeared, and it was fighting a sea monster.


    Based on the way it moved, it looked like the mech was stabbing a sea monster in the chest.


    Immediately after, the mech made a blocking motion with its right arm as if it was blocking the sharp ws of a sea monster.


    Then, its two arms quickly switched positions. It gently pushed its right arm forward and shed the air. Following that, it raised its left arm and seemingly blocked another attack from the sea monster''s other w.


    Finally, it crossed its arms and formed a pincer-like attack. It was so fast that it emitted a whistling sound.


    Wu Mo quickly ended his demonstration. He withdrew his mech and stood up straight.


    It was incredibly still, as though it never moved.


    There was pindrop silence as everyone on the field looked at what had just happened in shock. Their minds went nk.


    It seemed like they were still recalling the simple but shocking switch from attack to defense, and back to attack again at the end.


    Which sea monster could block such a move inbat?


    p, p, p...


    Soon after, there was a big round of apuse. With Principal Liu leading the charge, every student and teacher pped their hands sincerely.


    "This is wonderful and too exciting!" Principal Liu said emotionally.


    "Chief Engineer Wu''s demonstration has benefited us greatly. We will record those movements in the training center''s manual!"


    Wu Mo nodded slightly, but his demonstration was not over yet.


    He was nning to teach the students a few advanced techniques in one go. That way, the training center could obtain a precious teaching resource.


    "Everyone, please pay attention. Next, I''ll show you how to pursue an enemy throughplex terrain!"


    Obviously, Wu Mo was trying to show them how to dispatch an enemy.


    When fighting, sea monsters had a tendency of hiding inplex terrain, such as coves or areas with dense reefs.


    At times like these, a pilot''s technique and agility in operating the mech would be tested.


    There were manyplex digital terrains on the training ground before Wu Mo, such as uneven areas and spots with wooden stakes as well as plum blossom piles.


    All of a sudden, Wu Mo drove his mech into the sand.


    He pressed a button, and two huge wheels as well as two hard boat-shaped stic sheets extended from the bottom of the mech. Using the rotation of the wheels and the friction from the stic sheets, the mech managed to move quickly across the sand.

 Chapter 553 The Strategic Importance Of Nuclear Fusion

    "Wow, he''s so fast!" an elite student could not help but scream.


    This student had always held the school record in terms of speed, but Wu Mo had easily broken it.


    As the mech flew across the sand, it sent gravel and dirt flying in all directions.


    After he crossed the sand, Wu Mo faced the challenge of uneven terrain.


    He quickly switched piloting modes, and the uneven ground was no obstacle for him.


    Wu Mo easily passed through it.


    "Wow! What just happened? The uneven terrain was like t ground to the mech. It''s unbelievable!"


    Even one of the teachers could not help but sigh.


    The final challenge was the plum blossom piles. The distance between these huge plum blossom piles was only enough for a mech to move sideways.


    During regr training, very few could pass through quickly.


    Everyone would mind their step because they were afraid of damaging the mech''s outer shell.


    Even the most outstanding teachers could only reduce the time they spent on the plum blossom piles by a small margin.


    But now, they were witnessing a spectacr performance.


    Wu Mo''s mech was as fast as lightning! It shuttled between the piles as if its performance had just been upgraded.


    He quickly turned the mech sideways and passed the first pile. Then, he cleverly used the inertia to drift in a small range before he speedily passed the second pile!


    During this process, Wu Mo did not use the propulsion system; he only relied on the inertia.


    After he passed the second pile, he sped up and rushed toward the third pile.


    Once he cleared three consecutive piles, Wu Mo adjusted his posture and quickly cleared the fourth, fifth, and sixth piles¡­


    Everyone was stunned.


    Their eyes and mouths were wide open, as they were unable to react for a moment.


    "Is Chief Engineer Wu¡­ human?" A student could not help but sigh.


    He suddenly realized he sounded disrespectful, so he shut his mouth.


    Wu Mo''s mech gradually came to a stop. He then opened the cockpit and jumped out.


    The disy of such superb skills would undoubtedly give the students something to study for a period of time.


    These two skills were movement speed and switching between attack and defense. Even the teachers needed some time to study them.


    Wu Mo smiled and waved at everyone. "Students, mech piloting is aplex subject. Most importantly, don''t forget the mission we bear."


    With a wave of his hand, Wu Mo ended his lecture sessfully.


    However, the students were reluctant to let Wu Mo leave.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    His ss was unique.


    At the start, Wu Mo exined the various aspects of mech theory in simple terms to answer the students'' questions.


    Thebat drill segment was even more eye-opening for everyone. Whether it was the advanced techniques of switching between attack and defense or the rapid passage of obstacles, it was all mind-boggling.


    Everyone present secretly thought that the Zhongtian Mech Training Center might need some time to carefullyprehend these exquisite techniques.


    The news of Wu Mo''s lecture quickly spread in the media, and his deeds caused a sensation in the outside world.


    Other mech schools were all racking their brains to invite Wu Mo over for a lecture. They were willing to spend a lot of money to bring glory to their schools.


    However, it was clear that Wu Mo was not a greedy person. His main goal was to promote knowledge about mechs, not to earn money.


    If Wu Mo really wanted to make a fortune, he had many other ways!


    Furthermore, Wu Mo had not applied for patents for Life First and Life Second.


    If he managed to protect his creations, he would earn a ton of money.


    At this moment, the entire world was paying attention to a few important events.


    The main concern was how many sea monsters were left.


    Firstly, where did the two giant sea monsters that topped the rankings go?


    Secondly, was China''s controble nuclear fusion technology already avable?


    After all, there was no such thing as an imprable wall. It was said that China had a controble nuclear fusion research base in the Western Desert.


    Once the news came out, many countries started to worry that China was close to achieving controble nuclear fusion.


    All the countries in the world were trying to catch up and research the same thing.


    Once China sessfully achieved controble nuclear fusion, other countries would suffer a heavy blow.


    Whoever achieved controble nuclear fusion first would make a historic breakthrough in the energy field!


    When that happened, China would be self-reliant in terms of energy, and it would even be able to export energy. It would not have to rely on other countries anymore.


    In addition, China could vigorously develop its aerospace industry and use this massive energy to venture higher and farther into the mysterious universe.


    However, to Wu Mo, these were not the most important issues.


    There was only one thing he was most concerned about: Did that Carlotian find its spaceship and sessfully return home?


    To ease his concern, artificial satellites monitored space twenty-four hours a day.


    If that Carlotian managed to return home on its spaceship, it would spell disaster for Wu Mo.


    This was because once the Carlotians learned that Earth was actively exploring controble nuclear fusion, they would definitely try their best to stop it.

 Chapter 554 The Birth Of Ace Technology

    In Wu Mo''s grand n, the realization of controble nuclear fusion would lead Earth to a higher level of civilization.


    If controble nuclear fusion could be widely used in various fields, the lives of humans on Earth would undergo earth-shattering changes.


    However, this was something that Carlot and others with advanced civilizations did not want to see.


    Nevertheless, the development of controble nuclear fusion was unstoppable!


    One day, good news finally came from the Western Desert.


    Wu Mo immediately put down his work and rushed to the base.


    Energy was continuously being generated in a huge steel furnace before it was transmitted through a thick optical cable.


    Its target was a huge wind turbine that was on standby.


    Although the receiver was disconnected, the wind turbine''s huge steel des still spun with the controble nuclear fusion energy supply.


    An excited scientist told Wu Mo, "Chief Engineer Wu, we''ve sessfully developed true controble nuclear fusion! From today onward, China will wee an unprecedented energy revolution!"


    Wu Mo was filled with joy, and he immediately informed the old chief.


    The old chief could not help but rejoice and report it to his superiors.


    Eventually, all the important figures in China knew about it.


    They could announce to the world that controble nuclear fusion had be a reality!


    The world was shaken by the news.


    "Heavens! China has sessfully developed controble nuclear fusion! They''re standing at the forefront of the world thanks to this discovery. We have to follow in their footsteps closely, or else we won''t be able topete with them!" someone eximed.


    Someone else sighed and could not help but curiously ask, "What will China do next? Will they develop a manned spaceship to explore the gxy and outer space soon?"


    Another person replied, "The birth of controble nuclear fusion is a huge opportunity for the entire. We have to keep up with China''s pace and not fall behind!"


    The reactions of the countries around the world varied greatly.


    Many countries immediately expressed their willingness to send scientific research teams to China. They wanted to learn from them and even imed that they were willing to pay a huge sum of money in learning fees.


    However, China''s base decisively rejected these requests!


    After all, China had only developed the first controble nuclear fusion reactor so far. Granted, the energy it produced was already amazing.


    With this as the foundation, China would continue to develop more controble nuclear fusion reactors.


    One day, Wu Mo held a secret meeting with a group of top scientists, including physicists, biologists, and pharmacists.


    A mysterious researcher presided over the meeting and proposed a clear goal: He wanted to develop ten controble nuclear fusion reactors in a short period of time.


    Next, China made ns to abolish more than ny percent of its traditional power-generation facilities. They would widely use controble nuclear fusion technology to deliver energy to China instead.


    The mysterious mannded his gaze on Wu Mo and slowly asked, "Chief Engineer Wu, we will do our best to solve the material problem. Do you have any ideas, though?"


    Wu Mo contemted for a moment and replied, "I think we can expand the search area at the seafloor. We can search thousands of nautical miles away from the site of the explosion. We might find something important."


    Hearing Wu Mo''s suggestion, the mysterious researcher nodded and praised him, "That''s right, we should expand our search area. After all, they''ve already discovered so many mysterious metal boxes. Perhaps there are more precious relics hidden in the depths of the sea."


    The range of the previous explosion at the wormhole had been quite huge. However, they had limited their search to only a few hundred nautical miles.


    Now, it had be a norm for nuclear-powered submarines to go on searches.


    The mysterious researcher firmly believed that if they expanded the range of their search, they might be able to gain more benefits.


    This solved the material issue that surrounded the nuclear reactor.


    After the small meeting ended, the mysterious researcher started another highly-private discussion with Wu Mo and two key material experts.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    At this time, Wu Mo learned that the mysterious person was one of China''s top key figures in scientific research. He had worked hard for the scientificmunity, and Wu Mo really respected him.


    The researcher announced that after careful analysis, the metal boxes contained eightponents that did not belong to the periodic table.


    Everyone listened in surprise. The periodic table contained all the elements on Earth, but now, eight unknown elements made up the metal box.


    Therefore, it was almost impossible to find such a metal on Earth because it was impossible to discover the eight new elements.


    The mysterious researcher slowly said, "I think we should use controble nuclear fusion to propel spaceships to others. That way, we can search for these unknown elements to develop more controble nuclear fusion reactors."


    Although it was a good idea, it was too difficult to actualize.


    Wu Mo thoughtfully added, "That won''t do. If our spaceships are discovered by the Carlotians, they''ll likely report back to Carlot. When that happens, they may pose a fatal threat to us."


    Their hearts sank when they heard Wu Mo''s response. This was their greatest concern.


    Once that day arrived, the entire human would be embroiled in an interster war.


    Resisting the sea monsters had already cost humanity a huge price. They were still covered in wounds. Hence, one could only imagine what would happen in an interster war.


    Even though mankind had controble nuclear fusion as their first trump card, it was not enough topete with those advanced civilizations.


    The mysterious researcher made a final deration, "Everyone, we don''t have any more active measures at the moment. Let''s wait for the results of the underwater search!"


    The meeting then came to an end.


    After that, Wu Mo went to the Western Desert to check on the first nuclear reactor.


    This controble nuclear reactor was energy-rich, environmentally friendly, and easy to maintain.


    It contained endless energy, and it could transmit energy far away with little loss.


    China quickly underwent earth-shaking changes. Some power generation facilities were withdrawn, and many people lost their jobs.


    The energy revolution eliminated those who could not keep up with the times.


    Plus, the birth of controble nuclear fusion made certain countries jealous. They researched the subject day and night, but they failed to make progress.


    China had strict control over materials, so other countries could not covet them.


    At this time, a sea monster appeared again. This time, it was the hellhound.


    This creature had three heads, and it waspletely ck. It looked like a monster from hell.


    The people in the city watched it with curiosity, and some even felt a sense of novelty.


    Someone eximed, "Look, isn''t it a hellhound?"


    "That''s right," another person replied. "Its three heads resemble that of Cerberus in the myths and legends!"


    "Haha, Cerberus? We''ve finally seen the legendary monster!" someone else said excitedly.


    The hellhound was shocked to find that humans were no longer afraid of it. Instead, they treated it like an animal in the zoo.


    It was so angry that it scrunched all three of its noses. Suddenly, it let out a deafening roar.


    Boom! It opened its three mouths at the same time, and the superimposed sound wave was unbearable.


    The ground cracked, and seawater poured in. Many houses along the coast ended up submerged.


    "Heavens, run! The hellhound is too scary!"


    Just as people started to panic, a mech appeared out of nowhere.


    It was a mech with human and machine integration, but its pilot was neither Dongfang Moyu nor Hong Peng.

 Chapter 555 Killing The Hellhound

    "Mom, is that tall mech over there the hero who''s guarding our city?" a little child curiously asked his mother beside him.


    He widened his eyes as he stared at the mech''s silhouette outside the window.


    His mother smiled and nodded. "That''s right, baby. It''s the guardian of humanity. It''s known as a mech with human-machine integration. There''s a brave pilot controlling it from the inside!" she said in a gentle tone.


    "Wow, really? When I grow up, I''ll be a powerful pilot too!"


    The child''s eyes sparkled, as he was deeply fascinated by the mech''s heroic image.


    From that day on, a seed was nted in the child''s heart. He waited to grow up and be a pir of the country.


    At the same time, Wu Mo was watching live footage of the scene in the desert not far away.


    The pilot''s face caught Wu Mo''s attention.


    It was not Dongfang Moyu, Hong Peng, or even any of the three newbies from before. This was a stranger.


    Wu Mo examined him carefully and could not help but smile.


    Wu eventually remembered that this young pilot was one of the elite students he had taught.


    The young man had raised many questions, and Wu Mo had patiently answered them. This student never expected to finish his studies so quickly and start participating in actualbat either.


    "Looks like this kid has a bright future," Wu Mo muttered to himself. His eyes shone with anticipation.


    The young pilot was also nervous. After all, this was his first time piloting a mech against a super sea monster.


    Although he was nervous, he gritted his teeth and persevered.


    "You have to defeat the sea monster!"


    Everyone present prayed for the young pilot, and tension filled the air.


    The hellhound was one of the most powerful sea monster giants. Although it was only ranked fifth, they could not underestimate it.


    ¡¤?¦Èm There were several hundred monsters of all sizes on the sea monster ranking list, and the hellhound was fifth. Hence, its strength was evident.


    Boom!


    Just then, the hellhound sensed the challenger''s arrival.


    It roared, and the sound waves took on a physical form. They converged into a de-like attack that tore through the air!


    At this moment, the mech pilot pushed the control stick with both hands, and the mech quickly dodged the terrifying sound wave.


    Then, the mech clenched its fists and swung at the hellhound''s heads with great ferocity.


    Bang! Bang!


    Following two heavy punches, two of the hellhound''s heads howled in pain.


    However, thest head reacted quickly and bit down on the mech''s arm.


    "Hmph, you''re courting death," the mech pilot sneered.


    He had already anticipated this!


    The moment the mech''s arm was bitten, a few hiddenpartments opened to reveal iparably sharp spikes.


    Kacha! Kacha!


    The spike pierced through one of the hellhound''s heads andpletely destroyed it.


    The hellhound howled in pain and struggled desperately to escape.


    The three heads were the source of its power.


    With one head destroyed, its strength was reduced by a third.


    Therefore, the cautious hellhound chose to retreat without hesitation.


    "You''re trying to run away? You''ll have to get past me first."


    The pilot''s lips curled into a cold smile that was not unlike Wu Mo''s.


    Then, he pressed a few buttons and activated the long-range pursuit mode.


    He had apparently learned from Wu Mo''s performance at the training center because the mech moved with agility and speed through theplex underwater reef area!


    Swoosh...


    Once it got close to the hellhound, the mech raised both its hands high and delivered another hit. Itnded on the monster''s skull like a de and cracked it open.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Now, the hellhound only had one head left, and its tragic state was indescribable!


    It struggled with all its might and frantically fell to the bottom of the sea in an attempt to escape.


    However, at this critical moment, the mech''s ultimate weapon was finally revealed!


    To everyone''s shock, the bottom of the mech suddenly opened to reveal a few small nuclear bombs.


    "What kind of divine design is this?! There are hidden nuclear missiles under its feet. It''s unbelievable!"


    The scene stunned everyone.


    Without hesitation, the pilotunched the small nuclear missiles, and they automatically locked onto the heavily injured hellhound.


    Half a minuteter¡­


    Boom!


    The entire seabed was turned upside down. Boiling water churned, and huge bubbles kept spewing out.


    After a while, the hellhound''s huge corpse slowly floated to the surface, and its blood dyed the surrounding waters red.


    "That was insane! Who is that pilot?"


    Right then, everyone wondered about the same thing.


    Once everything calmed down, reporters rushed to the scene for interviews.


    The mech slowlynded on the shore, and the pilot jumped out of the cockpit to be interviewed.


    "Wow, he''s such a young and handsome guy!"


    Everyone was surprised to see the pilot.


    The pilot talked about how he had not learned much and needed to work hard to improve.


    His humility made everyone present admire him.


    "Mr. Chu, who would you thank for your achievements today?"


    The media in China loved to ask this question.


    "I would like to thank Mr. Wu Mo. He''s the one who started my mech career, and he''s also the one who helped me improve my mech piloting skills to the next level!" the young man surnamed Chu said without hesitation.


    He sincerely expressed his gratitude to Wu Mo.


    After the live broadcast ended, Wu Mo received another mysterious call.


    When he answered, his eyes lit up. The second controble nuclear fusion reactor was seemingly within reach!


    The call came from themander of the nuclear-powered submarines on the front line. He revealed that five more mysterious metal boxes had been found about 480 kilometers away after they expanded their search.


    Although five metal boxes were not a lot, it indicated that more metal boxes were hidden nearby.


    Sure enough, in the next few days, their harvest grew increasingly abundant.


    After they expanded their search area, they found more metal boxes about 1,000 to 1,400 kilometers away.


    Before them was a pile of metal boxes of various sizes. There were actually thirty-eight of them!


    These metal boxes were enough to build another controble nuclear fusion reactor!


    However, after the metal boxes were transported to the research center, the researchers were shocked to find that one of the metal boxes contained many bizarre unstable elements.


    These elements did not belong to the periodic table, which made this metal box unique. It was obvious that they could not use it for controble nuclear fusion reactions.


    Wu Mo was surprised to hear this news, and he immediately rushed to the research center to conduct joint research with various experts.


    In the end, they confirmed a shocking fact: The chaotic elements in this metal box probably came from the explosion that urred during space travel.


    This explosive energy was then sealed in the special form of a metal box.


    As for the reason for this phenomenon, there was no way to know if someone had deliberately created the boxes.


    Basically, the metal box was like a time bomb on the base. Everyone trembled in fear, and they wanted to throw it away immediately.


    "Let''s keep it on the base at sea. That way, if an ident happens, we''ll be able to deal with it," Wu Mo suggested.


    Therefore, this mysterious metal box was stored at the sea base for safekeeping.

 Chapter 556 The Start of Controlled Nuclear Fusion

    After some analysis, they determined that the remaining metal boxes were exactly the same as those previously discovered. This meant that they could withstand the impact of a nuclear fusion reactor.


    These metal boxes would be transported to the western desert to build a reactor.


    Wu Mo did some mental calctions. The first controble nuclear fusion reactor only consumed twenty or so metal boxes. However, the second reactor could make use of thirty-one boxes, so it would be evenrger.


    In just a few days, these metal boxes were melted down and gradually formed into a huge metal cake.


    Everyone nodded in relief at the results.


    It was, no doubt, a symbol of China''s determination in the field of controble nuclear fusion.


    The second reactor''s birth allowed China topletely get rid of the past energy crisis. The old power generation equipment for thermal power and hydraulic power were soon abandoned.


    Controble nuclear fusion brought about a structural change in China. Although there was nock ofints, nuclear fusion energy had greater transmission capacity, and it cost less. One could even say that it was priceless!


    In this new era, people no longer had to worry about electricity and water bills. They could use electricity as they pleased.


    As long as there were enough carriers, controble nuclear fusion could even support China''s entire industrial sector.


    The two nuclear reactors in the Western Desert were gradually changing China''s fate. As a result, other countries looked at them with envy.


    They were all specting when China would introduce controble nuclear fusion into the aerospace field.


    The old chief had already discussed this matter with Wu Mo.


    However, Wu Mo made it clear that although controble nuclear fusion could help their aerospace industry take off, China did not have solid materials for outer space navigation at the moment.


    Otherwise, they would have built a spaceship long ago and powered it with controble nuclear fusion to explore the mysterious gxy.


    "If only I could get that spaceship from Carlot!" Wu Mo could not help but sigh.


    Right then, he received news of another salvage operation at the bottom of the sea. This time, there were more than a hundred metal boxes!


    Some of the boxes were extremely huge, so big that it was shocking.


    "There are so many?" Wu Mo was surprised.


    He already considered thirty to forty metal boxes a good harvest.


    The results far exceeded his expectations.


    These hundred metal boxes had to be sent to the research center first.


    As usual, they underwent in-depth analysis to confirm whether they could be used in the reactor.


    Unexpectedly, these huge metal boxes contained more unknown elements. This implied that theirposition was much moreplicated than the previous metal boxes.


    "Ahem, has anyone noticed? When these metal boxes are put together, they actually take the shape of a flying ship!"


    That instant, a spatial image appeared in Wu Mo''s mind. When hebined this batch of metal boxes together with the previous ones, they indeed formed what looked like a flying ship.


    However, everyone did not dwell on the idea too much because it was too absurd.


    Did a spaceship disintegrate when it passed through the wormhole? And did its parts turn into metal boxes?


    "Mr. Wu Mo, does this mean that the spaceships of those advanced civilizations are actually made of these metal boxes? Where''s the control system?" An expert expressed his doubts.


    Wu Mo had no exnation for it, at least not in the meantime. He only felt that thebined boxes resembled a ship.


    Besides, it did not matter even if the spaceship really disintegrated. The point was, could it be restored?


    At this moment, Wu Mo was concerned about using these metal boxes to make controble nuclear fusion reactors. He wanted to push their civilization to a new level.


    After testing, they found that these metal boxes contained nine different elements. Despite that, the metal''s toughness was not affected.


    More importantly, the boxes did not contain any vtile elements, so they would not cause a violent explosion.


    Therefore, these metal boxes were used to make controble nuclear fusion reactors.


    This time, Wu Mo built two enormous reactors.


    By the time the two reactors werepleted, China''s controble nuclear fusion industry had already been established.


    Everyone knew that the entire world had its eyes on China, and people were specting how far China could go.


    Could controble nuclear fusion be applied in real life?


    It was extremely difficult to be the best in the world in terms of technology, especially when a country''s attempt involved changing the lives of the entire human race¡ªthis wasmon knowledge. Those involved often faced many practical problems, such as the inability of basic industries to keep up, thegging quality of manpower, and so on.


    Now, China''s controble nuclear fusion appeared to be in the same boat. Some people were happy, some were worried, some supported it, while others even mocked it.


    However, this did not affect Wu Mo''s team. They had sessfully built two enormous controble nuclear fusion reactors!


    Currently, China had four reactors in the Western Desert, which consisted of the small initial reactor, a medium-sized reactor, and the two gigantic reactors.


    At this moment, one of the enormous reactors was pumping out energy, and about forty percent of China''s cities were enjoying its power.


    "Wow, it''s incredibly powerful. It feels like the lights in the entire room are much brighter!"


    Many people felt the same way.


    They noticed that ever since the city started using controble nuclear fusion reactors, their electrical power had be stronger and more stable. There had been no tripping incidents at all.


    Everyone found the reactor''s stability and power amazing!


    There was almost zero energy loss during the energy transfer process, and once the reactor was activated, it would produce energy continuously. Unless someone interrupted it, the reaction would continue.


    Seeing China integrate controble nuclear fusion into the daily lives of its people, the other countries could not help but widen their eyes.


    "Oh, my God, their controble nuclear fusion reactor has started supplying power to the entire country."


    People finally realized that the rumors were true. China''s controble nuclear fusion reactor had reached such a scale!


    Other countries did not even have a decent prototype when it came to nuclear fusion. They did not know whether tough or cry.


    They were falling behind. They were falling behind miserably!


    China had seeded in controble nuclear fusion, but other countries could not even find a glimmer of hope.


    "Controlled nuclear fusion is an achievement that concerns the entire civilization. No matter which country seeds in its research, the results should be shared with other countries!" a spokesperson from a certain country said.


    ¡¤?¦Èm However, as soon as he finished speaking, everyone ridiculed him.


    "If you developed controble nuclear fusion, would you really share it with us?"


    The reporter''s sharp question left the country''s spokesperson at a loss for words.


    Such top-notch technology would definitely be regarded as a priceless treasure. It was obvious that they would not share it.


    However, if other countries wanted to share the energy produced by the controble nuclear fusion reactor, there was a way: They just needed to pay.


    One could predict that in the future, every country would pay China a certain amount of money to purchase this energy.


    Despite their unwillingness, once one country took the lead, the others would follow suit.


    Otherwise, they would quickly fall behind, and it would be difficult for them to keep up.


    Meanwhile, there was something never seen before urring in the big cities of China.

 Chapter 557 The Conjectures Of Thinking Creatures

    Late at night, most areas were brightly lit, and many mining facilities ran twenty-four hours a day.


    Many people did not even turn off their television before they fell asleep at home. They could use any kind of heating or air-conditioning equipment at will.


    Of course, this did not mean that people were no longer thrifty and were keen on extravagance as well as being wasteful.


    They just did this because they had an inexhaustible supply of electricity.


    Electricity was cheap, and there was no need to worry about electrical appliances being damaged due to power failure.


    When foreigners saw this, they could not help but be envious.


    How they wished that their country could be the same!


    The mining equipment responsible for excavation in the sea and rivers kept digging. Construction of cities was also elerated by the controble nuclear fusion reactor.


    Large-scale equipment that was once difficult to put into use, such as mining carts, could be put on the agenda and run twenty-four hours a day without worrying about loss.


    China''s development was progressing at a rapid pace. Hence, other countries expressed their willingness to purchase energy from the controble nuclear fusion reactors.


    The nuclear fusion reactors constantly produced energy and this made them incredibly important. The cost of buying a reactor would be lower than the total cost of their electricity, so why would these countries not be willing to buy it?


    As for China, this endless energy could be exchanged for money, so it naturally agreed.


    At the same time, fishing in the sea area had temporarilye to an end. No metal boxes had been found in thest two to three days.


    However, Wu Mo suddenly received a piece of terrible news!


    He had been in a good mood thanks to the sess of the controble nuclear fusion research.


    Unfortunately, this news made his mood instantly plummet.


    "Are you saying that the spaceship suddenly has disappeared from our satellite images?" Wu Mo confirmed again.


    The tone on the other end was unusually heavy. The person seemed to be on the verge of tears. "Yes, Chief Engineer Wu! That spaceship¡­It''s gone!"


    Wu Mo immediately pushed aside other matters at hand and rushed to the surveince base.


    No matter how hard he searched the satellite surveince screen, he could not find the spaceship.


    The spaceship was supposed to be only within 480 kilometers!


    The satellites'' range of detection far exceeded this distance.


    This meant that even if the spaceship suddenly came back online, it would not instantly disappear.


    "Chief Wu, ording to our observations, when the spaceship disappeared, the spatial fluctuations in its surroundings were indeed abnormal. It didn''t disappear through the wormhole!" An Astronomist immediately walked over and said.


    Another scientist added, "If it suddenly made a space-time jump in ce and traveled through a wormhole, it would also leave traces of space-time fluctuations. It would not have disappeared without warning."


    After Wu Mo listened to the two scientists'' analysis, he understood two things: First, the spaceship did not disappear without a trace. Second, it did not disappear through a wormhole but escaped the satellite''s detection in an instant.


    These two points seemed contradictory, but they implied how unusual the matter was and that they had to be prepared.


    ''Did another ship from Carlot discover this ship and take it away? Their civilization is so advanced that our technology is unable to track them. Perhaps they''re products of a four-dimensional world, and we can''t detect them in this three-dimensional world?''


    A series of strange ideas emerged in Wu Mo''s mind.


    The difference between a three-dimensional world and a four-dimensional world was like the difference between a human and an ant.


    Ants that lived in the two-dimensional world would only survive on a t surface. They would not be able to look up to see the humans living in the three-dimensional world.


    Simrly, could we humans only see our own kind and the things around us, but not the four-dimensional creatures that lived in the spatialyers and could travel freely through space?


    Wu Mo slowly said, "One-dimensional creatures only exist at one point. Two-dimensional creatures walk along a line, while three-dimensional creatures like us can move in a fixed space. It''s said that four-dimensional creatures are limited only by time and they can travel through different spaces."<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    Hearing Wu Mo''s words, everyone widened their eyes in surprise.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, you''re saying this spaceship might havee from a four-dimensional world and we only discovered it because it lost energy and stayed in this three-dimensional world?" a researcher asked in a trembling voice.


    "Yes." Wu Mo nodded and solemnly said, "It might have activated some kind of energy that allowed it to make a four-dimensional space jump. Hence, it instantly disappeared from the area."


    This would exin why there were spatial fluctuation data, but there were no signs of a wormhole appearing or disappearing.


    Ultimately, it all pointed to a fourth dimension!


    "In that case, what should we do next, Chief Engineer Wu?"


    The group of researchers was at a loss because they had never encountered such a situation before.


    The third dimension, fourth dimension, and even the legendary fifth dimension and sixth dimension¡­ This was aplex matter, and they had yet to verify the existence of these different dimensions.


    But now, this might be the only exnation.


    "Get the satellites to monitor the area. If they detect any abnormalities, analyze them immediately and report to me!" Wu Mo ordered.


    "Alright, Chief Engineer Wu!" everyone responded.


    The disappearance of the Carlotian spaceship was undoubtedly very bad news.


    Wu Mo fell into deep thought. If this spaceship really returned to Carlot and revealed everything that had happened on this, would they send a more powerful spaceship to rule this so-called primitive?


    "We have to develop controble nuclear fusion into weapons and aerospace technology!"


    Wu Mo''s eyes shed with a resolute light. If they could arm themselves with controble nuclear fusion, they could greatly increase the''s strength.


    Even if an advanced alien civilization descended, humanity would still have the strength to fight back!


    At this time, Wu Mo needed points urgently.


    He quickly gave the old chief a call.


    When the old chief heard Wu Mo''s n, he could not help but exim in surprise, "What? Wu Mo, Life First hasn''t even sold out yet, but you''re already preparing tounch Life Second?"


    Wu Mo nodded seriously. He had thought it through. All three potions would be avable for sale.


    After all, he was the only one who knew theposition of the potions. No scientist in any country in the world could replicate it perfectly.


    Therefore, the old chief''s worries were unnecessary.


    "Alright, Wu Mo. Although I can''t understand it, there has to be a reason for you toe to this decision. I choose to trust you!" The old chief continued to support Wu Mo unconditionally.


    Immediately after, the world''s best quick purchasing agents were shocked to hear the news. At noon on a certain day, China''s official website for Life First released a notice¡­ Life Second was about to beunched!


    "What? Life Second is going on sale?"


    Upon hearing this news, the people of the various countries were dumbfounded.


    Those who had not bought Life First were ecstatic, while those who had bought it were in extreme agony.


    "D*mn it! Life Second can increase one''s lifespan by sixty years and make one thirty years younger. Its effects are two times better than that of Life First!" Some people were filled with regret.


    "Hehe, forget about it. This product is going to be ridiculously expensive. We might not be able to afford it," someone reminded.


    "Sigh, that might be true, but I''m willing to spend all my wealth if it means I could buy a bottle of Life Second!" Someone sighed.


    "Hmph, isn''t it self-exnatory? Who wouldn''t want to live for another sixty years? It''s equivalent to receiving a second life and bing thirty years younger. It''s like being reborn."

 Chapter 558 The Three Great Medicines Are On The Market

    From that moment on, quick purchasing agents started to spring up like mushrooms.


    Lately, quick purchasing agents had been much more popr than before.


    After all, speed was crucial in the eyes of the rich!


    When Life First was released, professional quick purchasingpanies had already enforced an hour-by-hour fee for top purchasing agents. Some of them even charged up to tens of thousands of yuan per hour!


    Now that Life Second was about to be released, everyone had to spend twenty-four hours staring at the screen topete for a chance to purchase it.


    Quick purchasing masters were not only required to be energetic but extremely fast to click the purchase link before everyone else.


    In many professional quick purchasingpanies, such masters could earn more than a hundred thousand yuan per hour.


    The price shocked everyone.


    They all devoted themselves to hand-speed training. As such, all kinds of hand-speed training books sprang up like bamboo shoots after the rain.


    All kinds of gimmicks and marketing techniques were endless, and there was only one ultimate goal: Earning money!


    They wanted to get some money from these rich people.


    However, these rich people did not care. As long as someone could help them get Life Second, they would be satisfied.


    One morning at 2.30 am, the official website suddenly shared a link and released three hundred bottles of Life Second at once!


    At this time, thepetition between the quick purchasing mastersmenced.


    Even though they had astonishing hand speed, waiting for a long time was bound to affect their energy.


    At this moment, it was apetition of everyone''s reaction ability, as well as their ability to adapt to the environment and fatigue.


    Many of the powerful agents immediately clicked on the purchase button the moment the link appeared. The sponsor who had endorsed them bought a bottle of the iparably precious Life Second.


    However, there were also purchasing agents who reacted a little slower. They brushed past them and felt extremely regretful.


    There were even some daring speedy purchasing agents who signed punitive uses: Their fees might be higher than others. For example, if others charged a hundred thousand yuan an hour, they might charge several times more.


    However, they all had amon request: If they failed to purchase Life Second, they might have to pay ten times thepensation.


    Of course, such people dared to promise such a highpensation because they had strong confidence in themselves. They believed that they would be able to sessfully buy the potion at the critical moment.


    Otherwise, not many people would be able to afford ten times thepensation!


    Now, the quick purchasing agents and the Life Second website had formed a symbiotic rtionship. It was precisely because the official website sold Life Second that the industry gradually grew.


    The upper limit of this industry was getting higher and higher, and the influx of many people made it a shortcut to making a fortune.


    After learning about this situation, Wu Mo was quite speechless. He did not expect that he would inadvertently give birth to a new industry.


    He thought to himself, "Quick purchasing, how interesting!"


    To verify whether these quick purchasing agents were really professional, Wu Mo decided to get up at four in the morning to try it out himself.


    This was the time when people were the most sleepy, and it was easy to fall asleep. It was hardest to wake up at this time.


    All of a sudden, Life Second''s official website went online. It released two hundred bottles of potions at once and caused a sensation.


    However, at this moment, many of the quick purchasing agents began to feel sleepy because this period of time was too difficult to endure.


    None of them had expected the official website to release a link at this time. Did the staff of the official website not need to sleep?


    The moment they got a little toofortable, there was a short dy, and these few seconds proved to be fatal!<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    As a result, those quick buyers who had signed the penalty contract were unable to buy Life Second, and they cried bitterly.


    They were not crying because they were unprofessional but because of the high penalty.


    Some quick purchasing agents had signed a contract that cost two hundred thousand yuan per hour, and the penalty for breaching the contract was as high as two million yuan.


    However, there was a prerequisite¡ªif they couldst for more than ten hours, thebor fee could offset the breach of contract.


    However, it was obvious that most people could notst that long.


    This time, Wu Mo decisively and quickly released two rounds of Life Second. They were less than two hours apart.


    "Director Wu, why do you use Life Second so frequently? As you know, our country has a huge demand for these drugs," a researcher asked in confusion.


    How could he understand Wu Mo''s strategy?


    Now, as long as these three major drugs were promoted to the world, the results would be even greater, and the sales would also increase in a step-by-step manner.


    Therefore, Wu Mo decided to continue promoting Life First and sell the Biological Regeneration Agent soon.


    When that happened, the Biological Regeneration Agent might not be sold on the official website. Instead, it would be auctioned off to the highest bidder.


    At this point, more than five hundred bottles of Life Second had been sold.


    Many buyers immediately invited professional researchers to carry out pharmaceutical experiments for them.


    Not long after, news spread that the people who used Life Second had indeed be decades younger in appearance, and they had obtained an additional 60 years of lifespan as if they had been reborn!


    At this moment, Wu Mo was observing the system''s progress and calcting in his heart. ''Soon. When the Biological Regeneration Agent is released, the n should bepletely sessful.''


    At that time, he would use controble nuclear fusion technology as the core to develop a series of explosive scientific research equipment to promote the armed forces and aerospace industry of the human.


    Wu Mo did this because he also lived on this.


    He had the responsibility to maintain the stability and peace of this and fight against those high-level civilizations from unknown regions.


    During Life Second''s sales period, the old chief reminded Wu Mo many times that there was no need to sell Life Second on arge scale like Life First. It was only necessary to sell one or two hundred bottles symbolically.


    However, Wu Mo told the old chief that he had already sold more than five hundred bottles.


    The old chief remained silent for a long time before he finally said, "Wu Mo, you should understand the situation well. I trust that you won''t do these things blindly."


    What kind of person was the old chief? He knew that Wu Mo was acting so boldly because there must be a greater harvest behind it.


    To be honest, Wu Mo''s actions were indeed so.


    Only by taking a gamble and investing in Life First and Life Second would one conquer the global market. Hence, he could reap unimaginable results.


    Now, Wu Mo could sessfully redeem a controble nuclear fusion reactor from the system.


    Before this, Wu Mo probably didn''t think that this day woulde if he wanted to break through the nuclear fusion technology barrier.


    Now, he would not waste the opportunity to exchange for a reactor. Firstly, China did notck controble nuclear fusion reactors. The few that they had were enough to supply arge amount of energy. Secondly, Wu Mo needed to retain this resource to develop a more powerful device.


    He predicted that once the research was sessful, the device would bebined with controble nuclear fusion technology and break through the technological barrier.


    Finally, the day that the world had been waiting for had arrived... The three major potions wereunched at the same time!


    Wu Mo announced in the global media.


    The third potion¡­ The sales channel for the biological regeneration drug would be opened directly.

 Chapter 559 These Potions Should Be Shared

    "What? They''re about to sell the Biological Regeneration Agent?"


    "Haha, that''s great! It''s said that this medicine can cure disabilities. Will my leg be saved?"


    "Did you hear that? Uncle, did you hear that? It''ll regenerate your hand, and you won''t be a disabled person anymore!"


    "Heavens! When is this potion going to be sold? I hope they''ll hurry up and start selling it!"


    "Ugh, I reckon that its price is going to be sky-high. I''m afraid that we won''t be able to afford it¡­"


    The entire world was cheering.


    Many people were looking forward to the Biological Regeneration Agent, but most felt that they would not be able to afford it.


    After all, Life Second''s price had already exceeded a hundred million. Hence, it was even more difficult to estimate the Biological Regeneration Agent''s price.


    Everyone was just waiting for the purchase link on the official website.


    However, there were still no announcements on it.


    Either way, the quick purchasing industry was already thriving.


    Although the purchase link for the Biological Regeneration Agent was not avable yet, many people had started to ask their quick purchasing agents to be on standby 24/7.


    However, an unexpected announcement soon appeared on the official website. [The Biological Regeneration Agent will not be sold in bulk via a link but in a bundle at an auction. The highest bidder will walk away with it!]


    "Huh, what? They''re auctioning the potion? How is this possible?!"


    "That''s too much. China is amassing money! I want to earn a ton of money too!"


    "Sigh, we have no choice but to go along. After all, this is their patent. We have no say in how they handle it."


    "But doesn''t China have any sense of charity? Can''t they donate the potion?"


    At this moment, there were lively discussions about the matter. Ultimately, selling such a thing in an auction was rare.


    Furthermore, the potion was extremely special, and everyone wanted it.


    Since Wu Mo had decided to auction it off, there was nothing else his detractors could do.


    Not long after, the world''s top tycoonsnded in China on private nes.


    They had a lot of money in their hands, but they yearned for potions that could cure their physical defects.


    Many of these tycoons had all kinds of ws and regrets.


    Once they obtained this potion, they would truly have no regrets.


    Wu Mo was hosting the first auction, and the moment he appeared, the crowd became really excited.


    Wu Mo smiled and said to everyone, "Today is the Biological Regeneration Agent''s first auction. I hope everyone will get what they came here for."


    Hearing Wu Mo''s words, all the tycoons present were extremely excited. They were prepared to start an intense bidding war!


    After the auction ended, the backstage staff told Wu Mo that fifty bottles of the Biological Regeneration Agent had been sold in a bundle for the sky-high price of three hundred billion!


    This meant that the unit price of each bottle was as high as six hundred million.


    The total sale of Life First and Life Second would never amount to such a price even if twice as much was sold!


    "How terrifying! It''s unbelievable! Six hundred million just to cure a disabled limb!" someone muttered in fear.


    However, they did not reflect on how much pain a person had to endure in their life when they lost their hands or feet and did not have this potion.


    How much pain did a person have to endure in their life when they lost their hands or feet?


    Although this potion could not extend a person''s life, it could bring endless hope to someone with limitations. It was an extremely precious item.


    However, what happened next caught everyone off guard.


    Wu Mo announced on the official website that the Biological Regeneration Agent would change its sales model. Instead of auctions, they would be sold on the official website again at a much lower price.


    The world was abuzz with this news.


    Those who had personally visited China to participate in the auction were dumbfounded. Wu Mo''s speech had fired them up and inspired them to drop several hundred million yuan or even tens of billions!<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    "How is this possible? We just attended the auction, and now it''s going to be avable on the website?"


    They were so angry that they wanted to go to China and reason with Wu Mo, but they quickly put the thought aside.


    With that said, this news made most of the people in the world who needed the Biological Regeneration Agent ecstatic.


    They hired quick purchasing agents who just stared at the screen, ready to buy the product at any time.


    "D*mn it! Is he ying with us?"


    At this moment, in a private vi in a certain country, a bald rich businessman was so angry that his face turned red. He gritted his teeth and smashed the precious antiques around him.


    These antiques were priceless, but he did not hesitate to destroy them.


    His rage had cost him tens of millions of dors, but to him, it was nothing.


    He was the one who had spent thirty billion on the fifty bottles of Biological Regeneration Agent.


    This wealthy businessman was extremely shrewd, and he had predicted that this potion was extremely rare. Those fifty bottles might be the only stock in existence.


    Therefore, he was prepared to use the media to promote them at an insane price before he sold them to others to earn a huge profit.


    In his opinion, the most precious thing in the world was a unique treasure.


    Therefore, he decided that he would sell these potions or agents at a more expensive price and make a fortune.


    However, he did not anticipate China to announce that the potion would be sold through the usual link.


    As such, the Biological Regeneration Agent would be sold to a wider range of regions. The businessman, who had spent thirty billion yuan, felt like he had woken up from a dream. He was in agony, and he felt stupid.


    "Boss, should we sue China and Wu Mo at the International Court of Justice?" his gloomy butler could not help but suggest.


    However, the businessman shook his head after he thought about it calmly. "Forget it. We can''t shake his current position. Besides, everyone is praising him for making the potions popr and benefiting more people."


    Therefore, the businessman who suffered heavy losses could only bite the bullet and admit his mistake.


    Meanwhile, the quick purchasing agents worked like they were on fire and fought to get their hands on the product.


    During the day, they would hire someone to observe the website while they tried their best to catch up on sleep.


    They would be at their most energetic at night.


    Based on past experiences, China''s base tended to begin their sales at night and catch people off guard.


    This time, however, China exceeded everyone''s expectations!


    At twelve in the afternoon, the link to the Biological Regeneration Agent was suddenly made avable.


    Instantly, the world went into a frenzy.


    People threw aside their bowls and chopsticks to click on the link.


    The first batch of people who sessfully bought the potion cheered in excitement. Among them was a young man with two disabled legs. He had used thest of his savings to hire a purchasing agent and sessfully purchased a bottle of potion. He was so excited that he almost fell out of his wheelchair.


    "You don''t even need the Biological Regeneration Agent with your abled body!"


    Of course, there were also scalpers who utilized their resources to snatch the potions and sold them to others at a higher price.


    Wu Mo felt helpless as this happened. Although he had anticipated this phenomenon, he could not take more effective measures to stop it.


    The simultaneous sale of the three major potions affected the entire world, but there was controversy in China.


    Some people felt that the potions were supposed to be treasures unique to China, but now, they were being shared with the whole world.


    However, some people disagreed. "The potions can benefit all of mankind. Isn''t it better for everyone to share them? Why does China have to enjoy them alone?"


    At the end of the day, China had ownership over these potions, and they were backed by Wu Mo.


    These potions or drugs were truly rare. No scientific research in the world could develop a replica of these magical potions.


    Hence, even if foreign scientists attempted to develop the same product by analyzing theposition of these potions, it would be impossible.


    However, Wu Mo suddenly disappeared on this day!

 Chapter 560 Sharing The Star Map

    That''s right, Wu Mo would often interact with everyone on the official website. He would answer questions and exin the precautions for using the three potions.


    However, people noticed that he had recently disappeared. They wondered what he was upied with.


    In reality, Wu Mo was currently in seclusion on the research base. He was investing his time in the research and development of an unprecedented scientific weapon.


    He was developing a small-scale spaceship, which was based on the spaceship from Carlot.


    This spaceship would be equipped with a controble nuclear fusion reactor, which would propel it forward with perpetual energy.


    Wu Mo''s purpose in developing this small spaceship was incredibly clear... He wanted to explore the other civilizations in the universe and find out if Carlot had begun to take action.


    Mankind had to be prepared. Otherwise, the arrival of an advanced civilization would catch them off guard.


    Not long after, Wu Mo finally came out of his seclusion. He had sessfully created a small spaceship.


    This news shocked the entire world and even overshadowed the three great potions!


    "Wow! Mr. Wu has actually developed a small spaceship! I heard that it''ll break new ground in space exploration. I wonder if it''s true."


    "It must be true! With perpetual energy from controble nuclear fusion, the spaceship could theoretically move in a fixed direction."


    "Sigh, I really envy China! It looks like they''ll be the first to realize their dream of flying in space."


    "What''s the point of being envious? We have to work hard to catch up. Otherwise, we''ll lose out!"


    All kinds of conspiracy theories about China quietly spread.


    Some people felt that China was developing weapons and its aerospace field in preparation to rule the world.


    They believed that China had mastered controble nuclear fusion technology.


    China had made impressive achievements in the aerospace field, and the small spaceships it developed were even expected to break through the gxy''s barriers. The country was preparing to conquer the starry sky in the future.


    Everyone knew that there were several powerful countries in the world with the ability to develop their aerospace field and sessfullyunch many artificial satellites.


    However, the gap between them and China was widening!


    China''s previous space station had already made countless countries envious. Now that Wu Mo had developed a perpetual-motion spaceship with the potential to travel through the gxy, many countries coveted it.


    For a time, many began to secretly boycott China, but many others also remained humble and traveled there from afar. They hoped to learn about China''s advanced aviation technology.


    Everyone was amazed when news of the small spaceship got out!


    The old chief was also present when the mysterious spaceship was unveiled on the base.


    The moment everyone saw the spaceship, they were stupefied by its sci-fi elements!


    "This spaceship ispletely different from anything we''ve seen. It''s like a miraculous creation from a sci-fi movie!" A capable officer sighed.


    Other officers nodded in agreement.


    No existing spacecraft had such a design. It was hard to wrap their minds around it!


    The various high-tech elements, streamlined design, and dazzling silver light on the spaceship made it seem otherworldly.


    The press conference for it was about to begin.


    To show the world that China had thetest spaceship, Wu Mo would personally answer questions from well-known reporters around the world.


    This small spaceship would carry the hope of mankind and explore the unknown beyond their gxy.


    It waspletely different from the previous man-made satellite probes because it could carry people. This meant that humans would truly set foot outside the gxy!


    The previous moonnding could not evenpare to this. Traveling within the gxy was vastly different from traveling out of the gxy!


    The press conference was packed with people, and the number of attendees far exceeded the previous ones.


    Venturing out their star system meant that China had mastered the world''s leading aviation technology.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    It all came down to China now. This would determine whether or not mankind could realize its dream of space travel!


    Countless reporters gathered at the scene, and their eyes shone with anticipation for the future. They rushed forth to hand Wu Mo their microphones.


    The scene was a little chaotic, and an officer frowned as a result.


    Staff members quickly maintained order and determined the priority of interviews by drawing lots.


    "Mr. Wu Mo, what kind of advanced technology have you utilized for this small spaceship?" the first reporter asked excitedly. "What makes you sure that it can break through our gxy''s barrier?"


    Everyone was aware that the Oort Cloud was a powerful barrier.


    It was like a cage made up ofets. Only by breaking through the Oort Cloud could they truly break free from the gxy''s "restraints."


    However, for many years, no one had been able to break through thisyer. Even the satellites that had roamed the universe for decades still lingered within the gxy.


    Others looked at the first interviewer with disdain. They felt that he had wasted a precious opportunity to ask more pertinent questions.


    "This spaceship can break through the barriers because it carries a controble nuclear fusion reactor. The reactor will provide it with continuous energy," Wu Mo replied helplessly.


    The reporter sat down in satisfaction.


    "Mr. Wu Mo, are you nning to gather the resources of the universe and dominate the world by crossing the gxy''s barrier?" the second reporter asked.


    The staff members who were present felt awkward when they heard this sharp question.


    Wu Mo smiled and slowly said, "That''s a good question, but before I answer it, please watch this video."


    He waved his hand, and his staff immediately turned on the projector.


    While everyone was still confused, Wu Mo revealed the answer.


    "This red box contains an extremely precious piece of information about the universe. I will reveal it to the world for the first time!"


    With that, the data in the red box was reorganized, and a resplendent star map slowly appeared.


    Everyone was amazed. The star map depicted neb regions, chaotic star belts, vacuum zones, red giant stars, and so on.


    There were notes on every. Their names, sizes, and distance from each other were listed.


    Even though the map only covered a small area, the degree of detail in the star map was astounding!


    "What exactly is this?" someone could not help but ask.


    Wu Mo smiled and extended his finger, which attracted everyone''s attention.


    "You''re all looking at a partial map of the universe and our location!"


    His fingernded urately on a striking red dot in the corner of the projected image.


    Everyone was surprised. The simple question ended up leading to a journey of exploration in the universe.


    The resplendent starry sky map became a witness as the red dot on Wu Mo''s finger ignited the fire of exploration. Not only did this arouse people''s curiosity, but it also indicated that China was determined to enter the depths of the universe.


    The screen showed a vast expanse.


    There were endless resources in this universe, but this temptation was not China''s goal.


    China was pursuing mankind''s dream to explore the mysteries of the universe and advance human civilization.


    The small red box carried China''s beliefs and symbolized cooperation as well as sharing.


    "This is Carlot, the that once gave birth to the terrifying Dark Ghoul!"


    Wu Mo''s voice was firm, and his words contained a hint of mystery.

 Chapter 561 Exploring Space

    What the hell?!


    Carlot, the terrifying ce where the Dark Ghoul was born?


    Everyone remembered the terrifying Dark Ghoul.


    It had upied the top spot on the sea monster rankings for a long time, and it was regarded as the greatest threat to mankind by a group of senior scientists in the Sea Monster Research Center.


    However, this sea monster mysteriously disappeared one day. No one knew if it was alive or dead. It was as if it had vanished off the face of the earth.


    Today, they finally learned that the terrifying creature was actually a highly-advanced creature from Carlot.


    The was about 1,300 light-years away from Earth, and it was now within reach.


    "It''s 1,300 light-years away. Perhaps we won''t be able to cross it in our lifetime, but with controble nuclear fusion, there''s a glimmer of hope. I want to send a spaceship through the gxy to explore this," Wu Mo said with hope.


    At this moment, everyone finally understood Wu Mo''s intentions.


    No other scientific research expert would have such forethought.


    However, a reporter still asked, "Mr. Wu, why can''t Carlot form an alliance with Earth? How are you so sure that it will invade and rule our?"


    Wu Mo looked at him coldly, and his eyes seemingly said, "Are you an idiot?"


    Wu Mo did not even want to answer his question. The others lost their cool and criticized the reporter as well, "What kind of question did you ask? Just sit down and listen, will you?"


    "Really?! Which country sent this reporter? Did anyone check if he''s a qualified reporter?!"


    "Ridiculous! Why would they embrace us with love instead of rule us?"


    The reporter who was reprimanded blushed and fell silent.


    "Next question!" Wu Mo said softly.


    He obviously did not want to answer such a worthless question.


    When two civilizations of different levels met, could they be expected to live in harmony and would the more advanced civilization lead the lower-level one to glory?


    It was a fool''s dream!


    Advanced civilizations would only dominate low-level civilizations and absorb their strength to meet their own developmental needs.


    They would never selflessly help a low-level civilization improve because how would it benefit them?


    Furthermore, it would only add to their list of threats. It was more harmful than not.


    The reporters proceeded to ask all kinds of questions about the small spaceship.


    For instance, how many people could this spaceship hold?


    How were its internal facilitiesid out?


    Where was the spaceship heading to?


    Wu Mo answered all their questions.


    The spaceship could amodate four people, and its interior facilities resembled those found in a modern luxury home. This would give its passengers a homely feel instead of loneliness in the vast starry sky.


    He knew that some people might break down from the endless solitude upon entering space.


    At present, the small spaceship did not have a fixed target.


    In Wu Mo''s vision, the spaceship would be equipped with a device that could change the direction of its movement during a short period of time.


    This meant that Wu Mo could use a top-notch aerospace chip to observe data changes in the surrounding space in real time and analyze the spaceship''s next route.


    Wu Mo could not answer more in-depth questions that concerned sensitive information, sothe press conference came to an end.


    However, there was still a very important piece of news that Wu Mo had not disclosed at the press conference. Carlot''s Dark Ghoul had already boarded its spaceship and seemingly jumped into a four-dimensional space.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    He knew that once this news was spread, it would cause a huge worldwide panic!


    After all, the concept of four-dimensional space was more advanced than three-dimensional space. This could easily devastate the others.


    On this day, the four astronauts who would board the small spacecraft were also confirmed.


    The four astronauts did not have to go through a process of selection. They were plucked directly from thest manned satellite mission.


    The training for astronauts waspletely different from the training for mech pilots.


    A mech pilot could participate inbat in just a few months.


    To be an astronaut, one needed to have outstanding talents from a young age. Only after a long period of training and tempering could one have excellent physical and psychological qualities.


    When the four astronauts learned that they would be manning a small spaceship past the boundaries of the gxy, their excitement was beyond words.


    They all expressed their determination to live up to everyone''s expectations andplete this mission.


    Theyter met Wu Mo and asked him about the things to take note of during the voyage.


    The four astronauts were full of respect for him. They knew that the young man before them was responsible for the spaceship''s birth and their record-breaking achievement in space exploration.


    "Oh, my God, is there no limit to what Chief Engineer Wu really can do? He''s actually begun to pay attention to the world outside the gxy?"


    The four astronauts were impressed by Wu Mo''s endless exnation.


    Previously, Wu Mo had made a major breakthrough in the field of biotechnology.


    Now, he was setting his sights on controble nuclear fusion and interster navigation. He strived to make a leap in the energy and aerospace fields.


    One could imagine how much Wu Mo had gained from the system.


    After they discussed the relevant matters, they confirmed the specificunch time. It would be carried out in seven days.


    Theunch base was located at a satelliteunch station in the desert.


    When the time came, the small spaceship would break through the atmosphere with the nuclear reactor''s propulsion and surpass the first cosmic velocity. After that, it would utilize the controble nuclear fusion reactor for energy and fly in the Taal Neb''s direction.


    Theunch ceremony of this highly anticipated small spaceship would be held in an isted city in the desert.


    This city called Sang Quan had witnessed the greatunch of countless Chinese satellites, and now it was weing a spaceship that would transcend the universe.


    When the fantastical sci-fi spaceship was unveiled, it caused a huge uproar!


    People wondered whether structural performance had been sacrificed for its design.


    Obviously, such worries werepletely unnecessary.


    With the exnation from Wu Mo''s research team, the people learned about the spaceship''s advanced physical structure and mechanical principles.


    As for Wu Mo, his main concern was whether the spaceship could sessfully convert the energy supply source to the controble nuclear fusion reactor once it exceeded the cosmic velocity and entered space.


    There was no doubt that the controble nuclear fusion reactor itself was an extremelyplex piece of technology. Using it in a spacecraft would inevitably present certain risks.


    However, after many simtions, Wu Mo knew that the possibility of sess was very high.


    More importantly, the parts of the spaceship were directly matched from the system store. Technically, it was unparalleled.


    A controble nuclear fusion reactor would definitely work well with them.


    Wu Mo was filled with anticipation as he waited for this moment toe.


    Foreign reporters were not allowed to conduct interviews during the spaceship''sunch ceremony, but they could watch it on the live broadcast.


    A global audience could also tune in to the live broadcast, and only Chinese reporters could report from several hundred meters away.


    The most exciting moment had finally arrived!

 Chapter 562 The Intentions Of The Richest Man

    Wu Mo was at themand center and was responsible for announcing theunch time.


    "Three... two... one!"


    The countdown ended, and the engine was ignited!


    Rumble...


    The huge transmitter tform suddenly spewed out ayer of white mes. The mes gradually turned yellow and scattered in all directions.


    Immediately after, a terrifying mushroom cloud soared into the sky as if a god had descended and returned to his heavenly domain.


    Following the loud rumble, the small spaceship rose into the air decisively. It left theunch pad and rushed into the sky.


    Everyone could not help but look up. Under the dazzling sunlight, the small spaceship gradually rose into the sky and finally turned into a small speck.


    "Wow, it''s too fast! Looks like it''s faster than all the previous artificial satellites!" Someone could not help but sigh.


    "Yeah, I heard that there are four astronauts on this spaceship. Can such a small vessel really amodate them?"


    "Hehe, you guys definitely don''t know this, but this spaceship is a masterpiece created by Chief Engineer Wu. Many of its wonders haven''t been unveiled to the outside world!" someone exined proudly.


    Meanwhile, Wu Mo quickly turned to the screen to check the data.


    Real-time monitoring showed that the spaceship''s lift speed, orbit trajectory, and docking port were all normal.


    It was estimated that the small spaceship would arrive at the rendezvous point in about one hour, fifty minutes and forty-eight seconds.


    When the time came, the space station would monitor the spaceship as it obtained a second propulsion force and broke through the second cosmic velocity.


    After that, the energy supply source would be converted via controble nuclear fusion. This would allow the spaceship to move in a fixed direction until it passed through the barriers of the gxy.


    "Chief Engineer Wu! We did it, we did it!"


    After more than two hours of anxious waiting, all the team members on the base were finally overwhelmed with excitement.


    This was because the data showed that the small spaceship had arrived at the rendezvous point as scheduled and sessfully surpassed the second cosmic velocity.


    At this moment, the energy conversion was alsopleted. The controble nuclear fusion reactor was in effect, which provided a steady stream of power to push the spaceship out of the gxy!


    The four astronauts in the spaceship could not suppress their excitement either!


    It was the first time humans had crossed the Taal Neb and explored the unknown world beyond the gxy. This glorious moment was undoubtedly exciting!


    The names of these four astronauts would go down in history.


    Of course, Wu Mo''s name had been recorded in history because the whole thing was his achievement.


    However, Wu Mo knew that behind this seemingly glorious milestone was a huge crisis.


    If they encountered advanced civilizeds such as Carlot or Mixi during their exploration, how should they deal with them?


    Although Tafaro was slightly closer¡ªonly five hundred and fifty light-years away¡ªcrossing interster distances was still fraught with risks.


    However, Wu Mo understood that his worries were unnecessary. This small spaceship had already flown out of the Taal Neb, and they had pretty much reached their goal.


    Traveling hundreds or even thousands of light-years was simply too far!


    Even though the controble nuclear fusion propulsion had increased the spaceship''s endurance, it was not an incredibly significant improvement.


    In other words, controble nuclear energy could theoretically allow a small spaceship to fly continuously until it crossed light-years.


    However, this process was so long that humans might not live long enough to see the day!


    "There are two ways to make the speed of a spaceship infinitely close to or even surpass the speed of light. One, it can use a wormhole to make a winding jump, and two, it can use antimatter to create the greatest explosion!"<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    Wu Mo was currently browsing through the information in the system''s store, and he gradually determined the direction of his future development.


    After controble nuclear fusion, the next important step was to study antimatter!


    Once he mastered antimatter, the would achieve a second surge inbat power with the continuous source of energy and reach a new peak.


    With antimatter technology, Wu Mo predicted that the entire would enter the early stages of a medium-sized civilization.


    Even if they faced the invasion of an advanced civilization from a different, they would not be powerless!


    Most importantly, antimatter technology would allow a spaceship to achieve superluminal speed in an instant and reach distant interster shores.


    At that time, interster travel would no longer be an unreachable dream but a reality.


    This small spaceship would pass through the Taal Neb''s barrier and return from beyond the gxy with the nuclear reactor''s reverse propulsion.


    This was the most basic guarantee for the astronauts'' safety.


    Prior to theunch, Wu Mo and his team had gone through many simtions before they finally confirmed their n.


    Life was more important than achievements, especially in the aerospace field.


    If the astronauts did not return, this invention would lose its meaning, and he might as well abandon it.


    ording to Wu Mo''s prediction, a small spaceship would take a year or more to pass through the Taal Neb and return sessfully.


    The spaceship contained enough nutrient-rich fluids and food to support their journey.


    The four astronauts had to endure a long period of loneliness before they could return to mankind''s embrace in the vast universe.


    To an ordinary person, this was nothing short of torture!


    Fortunately, the four astronauts had received professional training from a young age. Although they would inevitably feel lonely, they could endure it better than a regr person.


    At this moment, the phone rang!


    The caller was just a regr individual, but the man she represented was no ordinary person.


    "Mr. Wu, Mr. Castor is incredibly interested in your Biological Regeneration Agent. He would like to buy two hundred bottles in one go. His purpose is to cure those with physical disabilities in his manor. I hope you understand!"


    Then, the secretary on the other end of the line fell silent.


    The intention she conveyed was very simple¡ªthe former richest man in the world, Mr. Castor, wanted to purchase two hundred bottles of Biological Regeneration Agent at once.


    Mr. Castor was rich. Although he was surpassed by the richest man in the world, he was only a little bit behind.


    He had hired many of the world''s top purchasing experts to keep an eye on the link to China''s official website.


    However, professional purchasing agents were flourishing all over the world, and Mr. Castor''s influence was not all-powerful.


    Although he had already purchased the Biological Regeneration Agent, he had obtained an extremely limited quantity. He only possessed a few bottles!


    What he desired was a whole two hundred bottles, but the official website only sold a hundred to two hundred bottles per batch, and they had to be distributed around the world.


    Even if Mr. Castor was powerful, how could he snatch all the potions for himself?


    Therefore, he found Wu Mo''s personal contact information through his connections in China and asked his secretary to convey his intention.


    "Wow, Castor is really generous! The Biological Regeneration Agent costs about fifteen million. If buys two hundred bottles at once, he''ll have to spend about five billion yuan!" Wu Mo sighed inwardly.


    However, he remembered that someone had spent tens of billions to buy the potion before. Inparison, Castor was making a profit.


    Wu Mo never expected the person who had spent tens of billions to be the focus of ridicule around the world, especially in wealthy circles. He had be synonymous with waste.

 Chapter 563 Best-Selling Potion

    The secretary on the other end of the line noticed that Wu Mo had been in deep thought for a long time, so she could not help but cautiously ask, "Mr. Wu?"


    Wu Mo shook his head firmly. "I''m sorry. Please tell Mr. Castor that the Biological Regeneration Agent can only be purchased through the official link. We won''t allow anyone to monopolize it."


    The secretary anxiously exined, "Mr. Wu, perhaps you''ve misunderstood. Mr. Castor has done in-depth research and coborated with many people in various fields. He''s¡ª"


    Click!


    Wu Mo got annoyed and hung up the phone.


    He thought to himself, no matter how awesome Castor was, he could not do whatever he wanted, right?


    Even if he had connections in China, how could he interfere with the sales of the Biological Regeneration Agent?


    If Castor had personally approached him to buy it, Wu Mo might have considered letting him buy a few dozen bottles.


    However, with Castor''s arrogant attitude, asking for two hundred bottles at once was simply wishful thinking!


    This was just a small matter to Wu Mo. He did not pay the so-called former richest man in the world any mind.


    He could have made a lot of money with his potion with how the rich were willing to spend a lot of money on it.


    However, Wu Mo did not care about these things. What he sought was more precious.


    Castor, the former richest man in the world, wanted to monopolize the Biological Regeneration Agent with just a few bills?


    Would that not lead to hysteria?


    A hundred bottles of the Biological Regeneration Agent were going to be avable at 4.00 am sharp.


    It was right before dawn, and the first bright star would soon appear.


    When the stars twinkled and the online page refreshed, experts from all over the world made their move.


    "Quick, hurry up and buy it!"


    It would be toote for those who wasted time on chit-chat.


    A true expert never wasted time.


    In just 2.2 seconds, all the Biological Regeneration Agents were sold out.


    Castor, the former richest man in the world, was in a sorry state. He had hired ten top purchasing experts from all over the world, but none of them seeded.


    "What? I didn''t even get a single bottle?!"


    Mr. Castor flew into a rage in his luxurious private vi and smashed his phone.


    "Those idiots!" he cursed angrily. And that Wu Mo, he''s so arrogant. I''m furious!"


    "Mr. Castor, please calm down."


    An expert served him some tea and spoke softly as he gave a detailed analysis.


    "China is doing this to expand its influence and show off its strength. To them, this drug is a name card in the field of scientific research. Mr. Castor, you can consider changing your approach and setting up a biotechnology pharmaceuticalpany. You can announce that you''ll only coborate with China."


    "With you as the endorser, pharmaceuticalpanies all over the world will follow suit. China will naturally give you face, and Wu Mo will finally relent and sell all the Biological Regeneration Agents to you," the expert suggested.


    Castor''s eyes shone brightly after he heard this. "Good idea! Set up thepany with an initial registered capital of five hundred million US dors!"


    To Castor, five hundred million dors was a small amount, but to mostpanies, it was astronomical.


    Word of this newly establishedpany quickly spread around the world, and it promoted its exclusive coboration with China.


    At the same time, they sent a delegation to China to make investments.


    This move quickly caught China''s attention. Their investigation revealed that Mr. Castor was behind thispany!


    "What is Castor trying to do? Does he really intend to establish a long-term exclusive coboration with China?"


    The decision makers in charge of business in China were quite puzzled.


    Their previous memories of Castor were still fresh in their minds, hence the Chinese side had doubts about his sincerity.


    Now, Castor had once again set his sights on China. Not only was he ying the exclusivity card, but he was apparently exposing his weakness too.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    What kind of trick was he hiding behind the scenes?


    Only Wu Mo was aware of Castor''s true intentions.


    In fact, this was a disguised form of goodwill. Its purpose was to make Wu Mo rx the restrictions on the regeneration agent.


    Even if Wu Mo did not want toply, he would have no choice but to give in if his higher-ups gave the order.


    However, at this moment, the official website of the Biological Regeneration Agent suddenly released a shocking piece of news: The existing stock had all been sold out, and the official website would be temporarily closed.


    [When will it be open again? Please stay tuned!]


    As soon as the news came out, countless people around the world were furious.


    Those who failed to buy the potion could only continue to endure the state of their bodies and wait for the next opportunity.


    Castor felt as if he had just swallowed a fly, and he smashed countless antiques in his vi!


    His five-hundred-million-dor biotechpany was stranded in China.


    They had no choice but to purchase it from China and resell it to someone else.


    Once thepany started to lose money, China would force it into bankruptcy, which was no different from taking thepany away.


    "D*mn it! This is suffocating me!"


    Castor almost spat out a mouthful of blood.


    Five hundred million dors went down the drain just like that!


    Who would have thought that the Biological Regeneration Agent would suddenly run out at such a critical moment?


    This also reminded everyone that Life First and Life Second could be sold out at any time.


    Therefore, every time an opportunity to buy appeared, everyone had to do their best to fight for it.


    The quick purchasing industry had gradually matured, and the major quick purchasingpanies were gaining profit.


    Somepanies even enforcedplicated contracts, where they would simultaneously hire ten quick purchasing agents. As long as one of the agents sessfully bought the potion, the others would not have to pay any penalty.


    Investors helplessly epted such an overbearing use.


    There was a global frenzy for these potions, and it made the big shots'' desire reach an extreme.


    The whole world was currently chasing after these potions. Buying a bottle felt like entering apetition with dozens or even hundreds of powerfulpetitors.


    Therefore, the probability of sess was extremely slim.


    However, people still did not hesitate to spend more money to pursue this elusive hope.


    Now, in the upper-ss circles, the rich had shifted their topics of discussion from luxury cars and stock investments to Life First, Life Second, and the Biological Regeneration Agent.


    If someone showed off such a treasure, they would definitely attract the envy of their peers.


    These potions were not only a symbol of strength, identity, and status, but they also represented the blessing of luck!


    Only those who had received heavenly blessings had the chance to snatch these precious potions.


    "Chief Wu, there are three hundred bottles of Life First left, and fifty bottles of Life Second left. Are we going to release them all at once, or do we have other arrangements?"


    Someone approached Wu Mo and reported the status of the products on the official website.


    Thest stock was only enough for one round of sales.


    Once they were sold out, the two potions would be temporarily out of stock.


    When they restocked it again, they would have to wait for Wu Mo''s orders.


    Since he had developed these three potions himself, the entire world could not replicate them.


    Many people had tried to do so. Top foreign research bases and senior research teams had long conducted in-depth analyses on these potions in an attempt to replicate them.


    Unfortunately, they found that the potions contained manyponents that were difficult to analyze in their experiments, so their efforts ended in failure.

 Chapter 564 Gold Mine

    Wu Mo contemted for a moment and said, "Let''s just release them in one round. We''re going to have new stock in about a week."


    "Oh, new stock in a week?"


    The researcher nodded excitedly after he heard what Wu Mo said.


    At three in the afternoon, the official website went online again.


    All of the extremely quick purchasing agents utilized their skills to achieve amon goal.


    In less than ten seconds, three hundred bottles of Life First and fifty bottles of Life Second werepletely sold.


    After the potions were cleared out, everyone saw a shocking announcement on the official website!


    "What? There won''t be anymore in the next few days?"


    "Oh, my God, are the three great potions gone forever?"


    "Sigh, this is a real tragedy. I just took out a loan to buy them."


    However, the bad news quickly dissipated.


    A few dayster, the official website resumed its regr retail operations.


    It did not take Wu Mo much to get arge quantity of the three potions for the market.


    "Unbelievable! The speed of Director Wu''s research and development is amazing. He doesn''t even need an assistant to produce so many drugs?"


    Even the researchers who usually assisted Wu Mo were dumbfounded as they looked at the densely packed potions on theboratory table.


    The scene before them made them think of the potions as gold mines!


    These potions were priceless. Just one bottle could make an ordinary person be a millionaire and live a carefree life.


    So many potions together added to an iparable amount of wealth!


    Wu Mo had made a thousand bottles of Life First, eight hundred bottles of Life Second, and five hundred bottles of the Biological Regeneration Agent. He estimated that he could sell them in five rounds.


    With the official website''s current update frequency, five rounds of purchases couldst for more than half a month!


    More importantly, Wu Mo felt that after he sold these potions, the points he earned would be enough to support his antimatter development.


    The antimatter research project was imperative. Once his research was sessful, Wu Mo was a hundred percent sure that the spaceship would surpass the speed of light. It would be an exciting moment that went down in history!


    There would be a new leap in the field of physics, and it would break the existingws of physics.


    Following the realization of light speed, mankind''s current understanding would bepletely overturned. Not only would research in the life sciences field undergo a huge change, but the academic world would also be swept up in a storm!


    Sales on the official website quickly resumed. This time, the supply included two hundred bottles of Life First, a hundred and fifty bottles of Life Second, and a hundred bottles of the Biological Regeneration Agent.


    Logically speaking, as the potions were sold, the rich people around the world should gradually obtain them. Therefore, the number of people fighting for it would gradually decrease.


    However, the official website did not set a purchase limit for each ount, which resulted in more and more buys!


    Many people began to stock up. There were plenty like Castor, who had better luck than him.


    Some already had more than ten bottles of the same potion in their hands, and they were still entrusting the quick purchasing agents to buy more.


    Their idea was simple. They would keep a portion for themselves and wait for the potion to slowly increase in value before selling it at a sky-high price to make a fortune.


    This world nevercked rich people or people who could take over.


    As long as they were willing to sell, there would always be people willing to pay.


    Wu Mo naturally knew this, but he did not care. He just needed to make the potions and sell them.


    The old chief had been paying attention to their progress. "Wu Mo, so many of the three great medicines have been sold. I heard that our sales have reached eight hundred billion?" he asked in a call.


    Wu Mo nodded. "That''s true, Chief. Eight hundred billion is not a small amount."


    The old chiefughed heartily. "Earning eight hundred billion was unimaginable in the past!"


    As his beard twitched, he looked more youthful and energetic than ever before.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    "Wu Mo, I underestimated you before. Even the world''s top scientific research base can''t crack the medicine you created. I can see how unique it is!"


    The old chief fully approved of Wu Mo''s approach. Even though the three great potions were sold publicly, no one could steal their secret recipes.


    Those who were trying to figure out the potions were also embarrassed to ask Wu Mo about certain things they were doubtful of.


    Trying to copy someone else''s creation was already disgraceful. Would they not appear more shameless if they asked questions?


    Meanwhile, there was a new disturbance today.


    A private cruise ship hade to China to pick up some potions.


    The owner of this cruise ship was the crown prince of arge oil country, and he was very rich.


    He had made a huge announcement about sessfully obtaining the three great potions. Although he had obtained a limited number of them, he possessed every potion.


    However, just as his cruise ship was on its way back, a ck shadow suddenly mmed into it!


    The cruise ship shook violently, and a huge crack in the hull allowed seawater to rush in.


    "D*mn it! Quick, take a look at what happened and make repairs immediately!"


    Themander on the cruise ship barked his orders, and the crew immediately jumped into the water to check the damage.


    Fortunately, the crown prince was not on the cruise ship.


    In addition, the huge hole in the hull could be repaired. At the very least, it would not cause the cruise ship to sink instantly.


    Sadly, misfortune soon followed!


    The huge ck shadow blocked the sunlight like a huge waterfall.


    The half-human, half-demon sea monster that was hundreds of meters tall made those on the cruise ship fall into despair.


    "Heavens! Help, I don''t want to die!"


    Rumble¡­


    The surface of the sea exploded, and the cruise ship broke into pieces.


    The half-human, half-demon sea monster was bloodthirsty, and it destroyed everything as it let out a crazy roar!


    Whether it was those who had died, those who had jumped into the sea, or those who had be monster food, everyone was filled with fear.


    One and a half hourster, Wu Mo and the old chief met again in China''s Maritime Research Base.


    Several officers in charge of maritime affairs also attended the meeting. They urgently discussed the shipwreck that had just urred.


    "Everyone, a new challenge has arrived! This is our greatest opportunity. Once we kill this sea monster, we can announce to the world that the era of sea monsters wille to an end!"


    The old chief narrowed his eyes, and his words were filled with murderous intent.


    This sea monster ranked third on the list. Wu Mo knew that as long as they defeated it, the remaining sea monsters would not pose much of a threat.


    Humans could kill them gradually without worrying about the damage they would cause.


    The figure of the half-human, half-demon sea monster shed on the screen.


    Although the video was not taken by a cutting-edge camera, it showed a seventy-five-degree view of the sea monster from a great perspective.


    This sea monster might not be the strongest of the five giants in terms of lethality and size, but it had one of the strongest traits: An intimidating appearance!


    Its evil bloodlust was shocking on top of its appearance that resembled a demonic beast and a human.


    Those who were watching could seemingly smell a strong bloodthirsty aura through the screen.


    In terms of ferocity, it even surpassed the mantis sea monster and could be considered the embodiment of ughter!


    This half-human, half-demon sea monster hated humans to the bone, which was obvious from its act of destroying the cruise ship.


    "Everyone, please take a look. This sea monster destroyed the ship''s hull with violent force and devoured the people on board one by one to express its hatred!" a biobehavioral expert exined in detail.

 Chapter 565 The Last Sea Monster

    In the end, he determined that this half-human, half-demon sea monster must have sensed the death of the other four giants. Hence, it had been hiding somewhere in the deep sea.


    Now that it was exposed, the changing environment was making it more desperate. It wanted to leave a deeper scar on humans before its death. That way, it could die without regrets.


    "So, your analysis tells you that it''s devastated?" Wu Mo asked.


    The specialist nodded and replied, "Exactly." I believe that this sea monster''s psychological defense is about to copse. It will definitely ughter wantonly instead of retreating calmly after all this destruction."


    Wu Mo''s heart sank when he heard what he said. He looked at the map of the area around the incident and finally locked onto a city.


    Meichuan City had been attacked by sea monsters, but its losses were not as heavy as that of other cities.


    However, it was the closest city to the sea area around the cruise ship.


    The old chief immediately reacted. "Contact the frontline officers and tell Meichuan City to be prepared for an emergency!"


    The sea monster era was not entirely a thing of the past. Although sea monsters had not appeared for a long time, the armed forces in various ces were still on standby.


    The city immediately went into a state of emergency after receiving the news!


    They were prepared with high-densityser weapons,pound missiles, andnd missile forces in the coastal areas to meet the enemy.


    In less than ten minutes, a tsunami surged over from the distance. The waves were turbulent and unstoppable!


    "Please remain calm! This is thest giant sea monster. We''ll work together to destroy it, so there''s no need to panic!" Amilitary officer used the radio to appease the citizens.


    The information from the military gradually dispelled the people''s fear. Everyone hid in their homes and nervously observed the huge shadow as it approached from afar.


    When the half-human, half-demon sea monster appeared, the people immediately trembled with fear!


    "Heavens, what kind of demon is this?" Someone could not help but shudder.


    However, certain artists viewed this monster as a source of inspiration, especially young directors who were passionate about shooting horror movies.


    They immediately seized this opportunity and made some sea monster sketches.


    The eyes of the half-human, half-demon sea monster were filled with malice. Its hatred made others shiver.


    It was an intense hatred born from itspanions passing away one after another and leaving it alone in despair.


    Now, it was close to madness and breaking down!


    Boom!


    The huge sea monster swung its tail like a copsed pir, and strong winds raised the waves as if they wanted to split the sea in two.


    The spectacr scene made many people exim in surprise!


    Right then, the sea monster entered the military''s shooting range.


    High-densityser weapons were fired from all angles.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Theser beams converged on the sea monster''s body, and in an instant, it was covered in wounds.


    Conventional weapons also covered the area and prevented the sea monster from advancing.


    However, this third-ranking sea monster decided to surprise everyone by utilizing its ultimate skill!


    The sea monster opened its bloody mouth and released a terrifying suction force, which drew all the guided missiles into its mouth.


    "Huh? Does this sea monster have a huge vortex system in its body that can release a strong gravitational force? Its internal build should be quite spacious and sturdy," Wu Mo immediately analyzed.


    He was both taken aback and inspired by the sea monster''s special ability.


    Hence, Wu Mo ordered a mech to set off from the base and quickly head for the coast of Meichuan City.


    Although this mech was just an ordinary member of the mech army, its pilot was an outstanding student who had just graduated from the Zhongtian Mech Training Center. He had never fought against sea monsters, though.


    Nevertheless, he did not hesitate to pilot his mech to the coast upon receiving his orders.


    Not long after, the mech with human-machine integration arrived before the giant sea monster that was wreaking havoc.


    This neen-year-old youth had a resolute expression, and his eyes were filled with hostility and determination.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    The mech he was piloting wasparable to a huge stone statue. It suddenly jumped into the sea and approached the monster at an astonishing speed!


    "Wow! This guy''s mech-piloting style is really unique!"


    Very soon, a veteran mech fan realized that his piloting style waspletely different from others he had seen.


    His mech did not move like a warrior, assassin, or a master of defense.


    One could say that his mech was like a lunatic, a lunatic whose only goal was to destroy his opponent!


    The young pilot had no qualms in disying terrifying courage and madness.


    He piloted his mech and charged toward the giant sea monster''s bloody mouth.


    His shocking actions made everyone tremble in fear. Even Wu Mo was shocked as he watched the whole thing on a screen. He did not expect the pilot to be so bold.


    Although this sea monster seemed to have limited lethality, it was still the third-ranking giant sea monster. Hence, it was even stronger than the hellhound.


    At this moment, a terrifying suction force was trying to pull the mech into the abyss.


    However, the pilot cleverly used this force to elerate in the air.


    Steel des shot out of the mech''s two steel arms andbined into one sharp sword that stabbed the sea monster fiercely!


    Crack...


    The audience could clearly hear the sound of bones breaking.


    The people in the city widened their eyes, and they wanted to know what had happened.


    They could not believe it. A mech had actually defeated the sea monster with a single sh?


    Everyone gasped as they nervously watched the events that unfolded.


    They saw the two huge figures as things came to a standstill on the surface of the sea.


    The mech raised its arms high and leaned forward.


    Then, the sea monster waved its two ferocious ws and mmed them down.


    However, just as its ws were halfway down, they suddenly stopped.


    Half of the mech''s de had already protruded out the back of its head.


    The mech had sessfully pierced the sea monster''s head with its sharp de. The terrifying suction force disappeared, and the crazy whirlpool on the water''s surface died down.


    "We''ve seeded! We''ve finally seeded!" someone could not help but cheer.


    This meant that humans had eliminated the fifth giant sea monster and they could rest assured.


    The giant sea monster''s body slowly fell, and it probably epted its fate.


    It had been struggling in despair for a long time. It knew that humans had defeated itspanions and that it was the only one left.


    It had a feeling it would end up like itspanions sooner orter, and this day had finally arrived. Perhaps it was relieved.


    At this moment, everyone could clearly see a smile of relief appear on the corner of its mouth as the giant monster fell.


    Wu Mo could not help but rx when he witnessed it.


    It was worth mentioning that a month before the end of the sea monster era, the beasts onnd had basically been wiped out.


    Now, the people could proudly say that humans would forever be the masters of this.


    Although these sea monsters had once brought about a period of chaos, humans eventually chased them off history''s stage and regained dominance over the.


    "Wu Mo,e and take a look at the spaceship. Looks like it''s encountered some trouble¡­"


    Just then, a person in charge of monitoring data hurried up to Wu Mo and reported some worrying news.


    Wu Mo immediately rushed to the observation center and saw the simted star map on the screen. The spaceship had flown far away with the controble nuclear power.

 Chapter 566 Antimatter Production Device Completed

    However, the spaceship had actually begun to slow down. An invisible gravitational force was pulling it into a semi-circr trajectory.


    This waspletely different from the original n.


    Wu Mo had made predictions for the spaceship to fly straight to the gxy''s edge, but its trajectory had changed. Who knew if it would return to its original point after traveling so far?


    "What kind of gravitational force is this? Have you investigated it thoroughly?" Wu Mo frowned and asked.


    There were more than a dozen remote monitors installed on the small spaceship. They were actually prototypes of detection satellites. They could scan arge area by extending their detection range to several thousand kilometers at a time.


    However, the observer shook his head. "Chief Engineer Wu, more than a dozen of us have yet to identify the source of this gravity, but there is indeed a force attracting the spaceship."


    The researchers looked worried. They knew what this meant.


    The four astronauts in the spaceship did not receive this news, so theydid not realize the severity of the situation.


    On the outside, the researchers were growing concerned. They dared not tell the astronauts about it, as they were afraid that it would destroy their morale.


    Wu Mo fell into deep thought. After a long time, he revealed a determined expression and decisively ordered, "Activate the return mechanism immediately and get the spaceship back here as soon as possible!"


    "What? You want it to return, Chief Engineer Wu?"


    The person in charge was surprised.


    He knew that Wu Mo had put in a lot of effort tounch this spaceship.


    There would be huge consequences if they returned before they could break through the gxy''s barrier.


    The upper echelons of China would find this reality hard to ept.


    "Human life is more important than anything else," Wu Mo said calmly. "We can no longer guarantee the safety of those four astronauts. Why should we let them continue to risk their lives?"


    Wu Mo''s words left the person in charge speechless, but all the researchers nodded in agreement.


    Chief Engineer Wu was right about people''s safety.


    Humans were the foundation of everything. With their talent, there would always be the possibility of development!


    Thus, the re-entry mechanism was activated.


    The four astronauts on the spaceship were baffled.


    "Hmm, what''s going on? Why has the return mechanism been activated?"


    The astronauts did not know what had happened, and themand center did not exin. They were only asked to prepare for return.


    They kept this news a secret, so no one had a clue.


    The mysterious gravitational force had been recorded. It was like a curved de in the starry sky, and it became the first line of defense before the Taal Neb.


    All of a sudden, there was notification from the system.


    Wu Mo left themand center and looked at the system''s store with a happy expression.


    The second batch of stock was gradually being consumed. The three major potions increased his points and made it possible to develop arge-scale device for antimatter production.


    He had to figure out the mysteries of antimatter to understand the principles of this device.


    Strictly speaking, antimatter was the reorganization of matter after it was broken down into neutrons, quanta, and electrons.


    The arrangement of antimatter waspletely opposite to that of ordinary matter. This made antimatter seem mysterious and unpredictable.


    To Wu Mo, building thisrge device only required him to purchase the relevant parts from the system''s store and assemble them.


    Of course, this was not an easy task. The coreponents would cost him eighty-one percent of his points, while the remainingponents added up to less than five percent.


    The entire antimatter production device was abnormally magical, and eachponent yed a key role.


    All Wu Mo could do now was buy and assemble most of the parts, then use his points to buy anything that was missing.


    Therefore, the production of the three potions was imperative and could not be dyed.


    Once his stock was depleted, Wu Mo needed to continue producing a certain amount of the three potions and making them avable via the link.


    The moment the website was online again, everyone rushed to buy the potions.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    The top quick purchasing agents had already made a lot of money. Many of them had even retired and be big bosses, so they hired novices to train them in speed.


    It was precisely because the three major potions were sold on the official website that these quick purchasing agents made a sessfuleback and entered the upper ss.


    News spread when the three great potions were sold again, and it caused a frenzy.


    This time, Wu Mo produced a thousand bottles of Life First, eight hundred bottles of Life Second, and five hundred bottles of the Biological Regeneration Agent.


    All the quick purchasing agents realized that this might be thest time the potions were on sale!


    Thousands of bottles had been sold, and the vacuum period hadsted for half a month.


    Such a long wait made people specte that this might be thest round.


    Thus, this round of purchasing became unusually intense.


    "Hurry! Hurry up and buy it! If we don''t do it now, we won''t be able to get it!"


    "That''s right. Looking at themotion on China''s base, this should be thest time."


    "Sigh, what a pity. I only have fifty bottles of medicine in my hands¡­"


    "D*mn, fifty bottles is still too little for you? I only have ten bottles!"


    These were all conversations between the rich.


    Ordinary people could not even get a single bottle, and the potions were basically divided among the rich.


    However, if they knew that these three potions would gradually be popr and their prices would go down, they would probably be furious!


    These people hoarded the potions and hoped to make a fortune when they became scarce.


    No one noticed that the potions were bing increasingly popr.


    However, they had inadvertently contributed greatly to Wu Mo and allowed him to finallyplete thest piece of the puzzle.


    "We''ve seeded! The antimatter production device isplete!"


    Wu Mo looked at the huge steel furnace before him with joy.


    This steel furnace contained powerful electric currents and more than fifty elemental particles.


    There was arge,plex experimental device inside that could transform these substances into antimatter within two hours.


    The antimatter could release powerful energy and allow objects to move at a speed close to light.


    If the antimatter wasrge enough, they could even surpass the speed of light!


    However, achieving superluminal speed on Earth was just a dream.


    Due to the limitations of Earth''s gravity and the distortion of time and space, any object with mass could not truly surpass the speed of light. It could only forever approach the speed of light.


    However, gravity and the flow of time were different in the universe. Therefore, it was possible to exceed the speed of light.


    One could even say that the speed of light was not the fastest speed in the vast universe. There were even faster speeds.


    However, research in this field was not extensive, and it would take some time before antimatter could be applied to spaceships.


    Before that, Wu Mo had to keep it a secret. Even the core researchers did not know about it.


    Lately, sea monsters were being discovered around the world, but only a few would appear at a time.


    These sea monsters were weak, and countries with nuclear missiles could easily deal with them.


    In fact, the sea monsters in China''s coastal areas had beenpletely eliminated.


    With the satellite''s detection, the bottom of the sea was peaceful, and there were no traces of sea monsters.


    However, on this day, a certain country released a different kind of news.


    When they were killing an ordinary sea monster, they found a mysterious red box about eight hundred meters below the sea.


    One should know that China''s search for the red boxes had been kept a secret, so other countries did not know what the peculiar box was.

 Chapter 567 The Earth Has Been Discovered By An Alien Planet

    However, after some investigation, they discovered that the red box was abnormally hard. They could not break it with any existing method.


    "Sigh, what a pity. If we could open this red box, we might be able to reveal the secrets rted to alien technology."


    The country''s spokesperson sighed.


    Theyter decided to invite the world''s most authoritative research team to study the mysterious red box.


    After the people of China saw the press conference, they were immediately rmed.


    "Chief Wu, look, doesn''t it resemble the red box we found earlier?" a researcher could not help but exim.


    Wu Mo was surprised when he took a look.


    So, these red boxes had spread all over the world?


    This meant that when the wormhole exploded, device fragments drifted far away with the current, or the sea monsters brought them to the different oceans around the world.


    ''Looks like there are quite a number of red boxes. If we can collect more of them, we can build more controble nuclear fusion reactors and even assemble antimatter production devices,'' Wu Mo said in his heart.


    It''s worth mentioning that only China had sessfully developed controble nuclear fusion reactors. Other countries had yet to make any progress due to material issues.


    Now that a small country had invited a world-ss scientific research team to assist them, it did not seem appropriate for China to participate.


    If they made information rted to the red box public, it might expose the fact that China was using the red box to produce controble nuclear fusion reactors.


    Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, China decided to stay silent for the time being.


    Wu Mo had paid attention to the conference on the red box.


    A few dayster, the research team made some important discoveries.


    An old man with white hair stood up excitedly and imed that the red box was made of extremely sturdy materials and was probably not a product of Earth.


    It was hard enough to be used as shell material for controble nuclear fusion reactors.


    The moment this news was released, it shocked many people. They found it unusual.


    "The key lies in the materials," Wu Mo said calmly. "With this material, it won''t be difficult to develop a reactor. Besides, they''re the top scientific research team in the world!"


    Wu Mo''s point of view was simple and clear: If the best research team on the could not seed, China naturally could not do it alone.


    Hearing Wu Mo''s frank opinion, those who held opposing views felt discouraged.


    They saw this technology as China''s absolute advantage and were worried about losing their unique position.


    However, Wu Mo continued, "But a controble nuclear fusion reactor alone is not enough. It might not even meet their domestic energy needs, so we don''t have to worry."


    "You''re right, Chief Engineer Wu! What can a single controble nuclear fusion reactor do?"


    Someone immediately nodded in agreement with Wu Mo.


    When China sessfully developed the first controble nuclear fusion reactor, it did not cause an uproar.


    Theypletely changed their domestic energy structure and gradually distributed it to the world only after the establishment of two giant reactors.


    Meanwhile, the other country had just discovered a small red box, and it might not even be able to build the first reactor.


    The old chief had an epiphany and decided to listen to Wu Mo''s suggestion. "Wu Mo, are you saying that we should focus on scouring the seabed and finding as many red boxes as possible?" he asked.


    Wu Mo nodded. "That''s right. Now, the whole world has realized that the red box can be used as a raw material for controble nuclear fusion reactors. Therefore, we need to be one step ahead and expand our search area!"


    "Alright, I''ll make this our top priority and have the front line take action immediately!"


    The old chief nodded and quickly gave his orders.


    More than a dozen nuclear-powered submarines took on the task of sailing to the high seas. They would conduct a carpet search and search for red boxes in the sea.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    These red boxes were the only known materials on the that could be used to make controble nuclear fusion reactors.


    Creating more reactors would ensure that they had asting voice in the field. They would not have to worry about being reced.


    At the same time, the small spaceship was leaving the Taal Neb and returning.


    There was still one day left until the spaceship returned tond.


    At this time, the four astronauts were still confused. They did not understand why the base had issued such an order.


    They sighed internally andmented the fact that their beautiful dream of leaving the gxy had been shattered.


    However, right then, a mysterious ck shadow slowly passed by in front of them. In an instant, it seemed to jump into an iparably huge rift and disappear without a trace.


    "Heavens, what was that?" someone cried out in rm. He quickly rubbed his eyes and tried to take a closer look, but the ck shadow was gone.


    The four astronauts had witnessed the ck shadow at the same time, and they were sure that it could not be an illusion.


    ''Has a four-dimensional creature entered our three-dimensional world?'' One of them had an absurd thought.


    As astronauts, they had heard about the ssifications of four-dimensional space and three-dimensional space ever since they were young trainees.


    Four-dimensional space had not been proven by science, and it was more like a legend. But what else could exin the previous urrence besides the existence of four-dimensional space?


    The huge object had appeared and disappeared in an instant. Only another space could have amodated it, otherwise they would have continued seeing it.


    "Report to themand center on base!"


    Not long after, Wu Mo and the others learned of this bizarre encounter.


    ''Looks like there are indeed four-dimensional creatures in this universe¡­'' Wu Mo thought gloomily.


    Four-dimensional creatures could travel freely between worlds, appear anywhere in the same timeline, and disappear from a world at any time. This made it impossible for people to find them.


    A four-dimensional creature could even easily dodge the attack of a top-tier weapon.


    It was like a group of ants forming an army in an attempt to attack humans.


    Humans only needed to lift their feet to escape should the ants unleash their most powerful attack.


    In the same way, four-dimensional creatures enjoyed such innate advantage over three-dimensional creatures.


    "Hurry up and get them back here. Don''t dy it any longer!" Wu Mo said coldly.


    They were in a precarious situation. If the four-dimensional creature was hostile, the spaceship from their human would not be able to return.


    "Alright, Chief Engineer Wu!"


    Therefore, the front line sent an emergency order for the spaceship to move forward at full speed.


    Fortunately, the controble nuclear fusion reactor instantly doubled the spaceship''s speed.


    Three dayster, the spaceship slowlynded. They covered up the matter and sealed off all news, so no one knew about it.


    After the four astronauts arrived at the base, they immediately underwent aprehensive physical examination.


    The test results showed that they were in good physical condition and their minds were clear. They couldpletely recall what they had encountered outside the atmosphere.


    After he listened to the astronauts'' narration, Wu Mo came to a terrifying conclusion: Carlot, Tafaro, and other unknowns might have discovered Earth.


    They had initially sent sentries out to monitor Earth. Discovering that its civilization was not advanced, they might start a war andunch an invasion on Earth.


    Time was running out. Wu Mo realized that he had to perfect the antimatter device as soon as possible and apply it to various fields.


    He could only improve their overall defense by sessfully developing antimatter. That way, they could fight against the invasion of different civilizations from others.

 Chapter 568 Ultra-Long-Range Missile

    Now, countries all over the world were scrambling to find the red box.


    After many countries found the red box, they invited top researchers to conduct research.


    The top scientific research team of a small country announced that they had sessfully solved the controble nuclear fusion problem.


    When the news came out, the whole world was in jubtion.


    People sighed with emotion that China''s controble nuclear fusion technology would no longer be unrivaled in the world, but would be universal.


    At that time, all countries would have controble nuclear fusion reactors, and they would no longer need to spend a lot of money to buy them from China.


    These countries were proud of themselves, but they did not know that China had been at the forefront of the world all this time.


    Wu Mo had already utilized the energy of the controble nuclear fusion reactor to its fullest, and he was about to make a breakthrough in antimatter research.


    At that time, he could still suppress the global technological level.


    In addition, China had also made significant progress.


    More than ten nuclear submarines were conducting a carpet search, and fifty red boxes were ced on the base''sboratory table.


    This efficiency was shocking!


    In just a few days, all fifty red boxes were captured!


    Wu Mo was surprised by the nuclear submarine''s search ability.


    After analyzing the fifty red boxes, they were exactly the same as the previous red boxes.


    However, even though the red box that was filled with unstable elements didn''t explode, it was still abnormally violent.


    Balls of energy seemed to be able to break out of the box at any moment and raze the entire ind to the ground!


    The staff of the ind experimental base had been evacuated, and they switched to remote monitoring.


    The red box was like a time bomb, and it made people feel uneasy.


    This time, Wu Mo used the same method to melt the fifty red boxes into the reactor shell material.


    A crazy idea came to his mind, to turn these fifty red boxes into a reactor!


    When the time came, this would be thergest reactor and would be ced in the heart of China. This would provide new vitality to the national energy system.


    Countries around the world announced their sessful breakthroughs in controble nuclear fusion technology as well.


    These countries were jubnt, as they thought that they had entered a new era.


    Some people believed that the poprity of controble nuclear fusion was a symbol of a more advanced civilization.


    However, in Wu Mo''s opinion, this was ridiculous!


    Was a controble nuclear fusion reactor indicative of an advanced civilization?


    Without the ability to connect with other fields and theck of antimatter, everything was just empty talk.


    Now, dozens of countries had dered that they had sessfully developed controble nuclear fusion reactors.


    The first thing they did was cut off the supply chain from China and stop paying for energy.


    The reactors in these countries began to supply energy to key fields and rece some power generation facilities.


    However, they found that the reactor could not operate all the facilities at the same time, so they frantically searched for the red box.


    However, as the number of red boxes decreased, the difficulty of searching increased.


    Even if they found one or two asionally, it would be difficult for them to show their skills.


    At this moment, people realized that the controble nuclear fusion reactor was the real deal!


    Even though they had to pay a price, it wasn''t expensive. Most importantly, they didn''t have to worry about energy!


    However, after they created the controble nuclear fusion reactor, their first task had been to dismantle the power generation facilities.


    Now that the energy supply was insufficient, rebuilding the facilities was like taking a detour.


    They knew it and regretted it.


    On this day, Wu Mo sessfully created an antimatter experimental device, and all theponents were intact.


    After the high-pressure dposition motor experiment, he sessfully produced 0.01 grams of antimatter.


    The amount of antimatter was equivalent to a thousand tons of TNT, which proved that antimatter was terrifying in the universe.


    Wu Mo was about to carry out an experiment that attracted worldwide attention: He installed 0.05 grams of antimatter on a small spaceship. Using the antimatter propulsion force, he allowed the spaceship to travel close to light speed.


    After announcing his n, Wu Mo also discussed it with the old chief.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    They decided to develop anti-matter missiles at the secret base!


    These missiles could reach thousands of miles in an instant and hit targets millions or even tens of millions of miles away.


    The terrifying explosive force umted by antimatter could instantly send missiles into the atmosphere.


    Combined with antimatter and controble nuclear fusion, this missile had amazing endurance and powerful explosiveness.


    As a result, China''s armed forces broke through Earth''s upper limit and entered a higher level of civilization.


    After the antimatter machine was formed, Wu Mo went to visit his parents.


    That night, his parents and distant rtives gathered together. The table was filled with all kinds of delicacies, most of which were Wu Mo''s favorite dishes. It was obvious that they were to reward him for his hard work.


    "Wu Mo, you''re back?"


    His rtives scrambled to greet him.


    They knew how important Wu Mo was, and they were extremely d that they were rted to him.


    Wu Mo smiled and greeted them one by one.


    He knew that these people were all distant cousins. Although they were not close, they chatted happily.


    They had known each other since they were children, and his memories of them were still fresh.


    Wu Mo learned that his rtives had no ulterior motives for visiting aside from fulfilling past wishes.


    They had once been merchants and had umted wealth. Now, they were hoping to buy the Biological Regeneration Agent with Wu Mo''s power.


    A distant uncle rolled up his pants and revealed his prosthetic leg, which caused everyone toment his situation.


    This tragic past was heartbreaking. For the sake of his family, his uncle had engaged in dangerous steel work at a construction site. He identally fell from a tall building and lost a leg.


    However, he resolutely put on a prosthetic leg and continued to fight for his family for more than ten years.


    Hearing about the Biological Regeneration Agent, his uncle did not hesitate to take out his life savings and scrape together everything he had to buy this magical item.


    However, they had no way of obtaining it, and they did not realize how expensive it was.


    On average, the Biological Regeneration Agent could cost tens of millions or even billions. They could not afford it.


    "Wu Mo, there''s five hundred thousand yuan in this card. Can you help me buy a bottle of the medicine?" his distant uncle asked expectantly.


    He knew how magical the medicine was. He would be reborn and live a normal life.


    Although he had artificial limbs, he could perform limitedbor and he could not earn much money.


    Once his body recovered, his ie would definitely increase greatly.


    Wu Mo shook his head and rejected the card. He smiled and said, "Uncle, why do you have to do this? I''ll give you a bottle of the potion as a gift."


    "Sigh, that won''t do. The potion''s so expensive. I can''t ept it!"


    Wu Mo''s uncle insisted that he ept the bank card, so Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu also came forward to dissuade him.


    "Big Brother, stop being so stubborn. Wu Mo said it''s a gift, so just ept it!" Mr. Wu said.


    "This... Sigh, I feel really guilty!"


    The eldest uncle shook his head and sat back in his seat. He did not speak for a long time.


    Perhaps he felt that he could not repay Wu Mo for this generous gift.


    After resting for a while, Wu Mo returned to the base.


    He was looking forward to visiting Shen Qingya in Shanghai, but he knew that it would take a long time before he could do so.


    Antimatter research was extremely vital at the moment, and Wu Mo was focused on the work at hand.


    He envisioned returning to Shanghai to reunite with Shen Qingya after the antimatter research was settled.


    They had not seen each other for a long time, and their longing for each other had grown stronger.


    He could not help but imagine where Shen Qingya would go after graduation.


    Wu Mo had an idea and decided to make Shen Qingya his research assistant so that they could be together every day.


    However, Wu Mo still needed to fully invest in the research of antimatter devices and work hard tobine them with weapons as well as aerospace fields.


    The antimatter device was not suitable for civilian use, and ordinary people could not withstand its huge energy consumption.


    On this day, China tested an ultra-long-range missile in the depths of the Western Desert¡ªSoaring Sky.


    The first test of the Soaring Sky missile attracted the attention of many countries. They all knew China had mastered new technology that had an extremely long range.

 Chapter 569 The Bizarre Old Man

    How far would a missile with ultra-long range go?


    Ordinary missiles could reach tens of thousands of kilometers, so ultra-long-range missiles would be even better.


    China had no intention of hiding it. Thanks to Wu Mo''s guidance and help from the antimatter energy device, the range of the Soaring Sky Missile reached a terrifying level.


    As a result, China''s scientific research and technology reached a new peak that topped the world.


    Its missileuncher was hidden deep underground like a deep well, which exposed only half of the warhead.


    The missile had a slender shape, with an oval warhead that had been painted green.


    Soon, theyunched the missile, and it soared into the sky, and the airflow around it was spectacr.


    The sound of the missile breaking through the air resounded through the clouds. It quickly rose into the air and flew toward its target in the distance.


    In this test, the target mirrored their current location.


    A reverse mirror point treated the entire continent as a mirror, so the chosen target would be on the other side of the world.


    "What? It''s going to the other side of the globe. This is too terrifying!"


    A cry of surprise broke the silence. The reverse mirror point was undoubtedly the farthest any missile had traveled.


    In addition, the missile had to ovee the strong pull of gravity. The requirements to pull this off were unimaginable!


    However, the missile headed toward the reverse mirror point at this moment. After a long twenty-two-minute journey, it finally reached its destination.


    Surprisingly, it still had enough residual power to explode!


    Rumble...


    The violent explosion seemed to shake the. Everyone was dumbfounded, and they could not believe what they were seeing.


    The satellite captured the explosion, which showed how powerful the missile was. It almost destroyed the entirend.


    "This is horrifying! What kind of missile is China using? Its power and range far surpasses all the missiles in the world!"


    "That''s right! It''s like a dimensional attack! If war breaks out, who will dare fight against China''s missiles?"


    "We''re done for! It''s possible that China has sessfully applied controble nuclear fusion to weapons!"


    The crowd discussed animatedly, but the officials did not give an exnation.


    However, not long after, Wu Mo released a huge piece of news through the media!


    "Attention, everyone! An unknown alien civilization might be descending upon us in the near future. Be sure to protect yourself and stay at home if necessary."


    What?


    The arrival of an alien civilization?


    They had to pay attention to their safety?


    Everyone was shocked. It was like the plot of a movie, and they could not believe it!


    "Impossible! Why would an alien civilization descend on our? Didn''t we already prove that aliens don''t exist?" someone questioned.


    A senior astronomist stood up to disagree. He believed that although the universe was vast and boundless, life on Earth was unique and it was impossible for other simr life forms to exist.


    However, authoritative media outlets were always meticulous, so they seemed highly credible.


    Therefore, although astrologers tried to clear their doubts, most people chose to stay at home and trust the media''s views.


    Only a few people knew that the media''s real spokespersonwas the mysterious Chief Engineer Wu.


    Who would dare question him?


    However, today was an extremely special day.


    People flocked to the streets to enjoy food and games as well as fill the shopping malls.


    Everyone just wanted to have fun for a day! From tomorrow onward, they would stay at home and not go out!


    They also took the opportunity to purchase supplies and prepare for their uing seclusion.


    At this moment, Wu Mo was standing at the top of a tall building, surrounded by a group of researchers. Their hearts were heavy.


    Thetest astronomical data showed that more than a dozenrge objects had appeared and disappeared outside the''s atmosphere.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    These data fluctuations were definitely not fake. It was likely that an extraterrestrial civilization had upgraded their exploration of Earth to the interster stage.


    Just then, there was a sudden storm!


    "Oh, where did this storme from? The weather station didn''t mention that it would rain heavily today," Wu Mo muttered to himself.


    His fiery eyes were locked onto a statue in the square before him.


    Many people had been taking photos there, but now, they scattered as they searched for a ce to hide from the rain.


    Since the weather station never gave any advance notice, most people did not bring umbres.


    The once bustling streets and city center instantly fell into chaos!


    Everyone either hid in the mall, sheltered themselves from the rain under the eaves, or bought umbres and hurried home.


    Others ended up drenched because they were far away.


    At this moment, a researcher eximed, "Chief Engineer Wu, look over there!"


    Wu Mo followed his gaze and saw an old man in the rain. He had no umbre and showed no intention of hiding from the rain. He was just leisurely strolling in the rain.


    He held a walking stick in his hand, and his body swayed as he walked. He could fall at any time.


    However, the most surprising thing was that there was no trace of anxiety on his face. Instead, he looked at his surroundings with interest as if he was really rxed!


    Was there something wrong with this old man?


    Wu Mo''s heart was filled with suspicion. He reached out and motioned for someone to go over and help the old man.


    After all, an elder of his age would most likely fall sick in the rain, and his body would not be able to take it.


    Therefore, someone nodded and walked out, ready to help the old man.


    The heavy rain obstructed everyone''s vision. Many people were anxiously trying to avoid it, so not many people noticed the helpless old man in the rain.


    However, the old man suddenly turned his head and seemed to cast a mysterious smile in Wu Mo''s direction. It was cryptic!


    Wu Mo was inexplicably shocked when he saw the old man''s smile. "Hmm, what''s going on?"


    He immediately sensed that something was wrong and quickly stopped the person from helping.


    Right then, the old man turned around and walked around the statue!


    On top of that, his footsteps grew increasingly fast and determined. Every step was heavy and powerful, which did not match his elderly appearance.


    The walking stick in his hand kept thumping the ground, and in an instant, he had circled the statue dozens of times.


    "Whoa, old man, how did you get so fast in the blink of an eye?"


    The researcher who was about to help the old man was puzzled, but Wu Mo immediately called him back through the walkie-talkie.


    "Oh, what''s the matter?"


    The researcher was confused when he heard Wu Mo summoning him back.


    Since it was an order from Wu Mo, he quickly returned to the roof with his umbre.


    At this moment, everyone''s nervous gazes confused the researcher even more!


    He turned around and was taken by surprise. From this angle, he could see the old man spinning around the statue so fast that he resembled a shadow.


    "Heavens! He has such astonishing speed?" the researcher could not help but exim.


    Then, he saw a scene that made their hair stand on end.


    The old man''s speed was almost impossible to grasp. Not only did hepletely surround the statue, but he also enveloped the entire statue in a ck shadow.


    At this moment, the statue underwent a shocking change!


    There seemed to be a mass of surging spatial fluctuations at the center of the statue. Then, a small wormhole-like structure appeared.


    Soon after, a few gray shadows jumped out of it.


    "What the hell?! Has a creature from the four-dimensional space appeared?" a researcher could not help but curse loudly.


    Then, he quickly told the military to get ready.

 Chapter 570 Planetary Alliance

    "Listen up! The alien invasion is real. We''re not filming a movie. This is a critical moment for the survival of the''s civilization. It could begin at any moment!" Wu Mo said coldly.


    His expression was extremely serious. No country or individual could bear what was about to happen.


    Facing such a dangerous situation, mankind had to face the truth with courage and unity!


    In the next moment, the shadows suddenly disappeared into the air and left only a faint aura fluctuation.


    Right then, the old man gradually slowed down. Then, he threw away the crutch in his hand and sat on the ground while he panted.


    It turned out that the old man was not an alien creature in disguise but an ordinary human.


    Yet, he somehow turned into a four-dimensional creature''s shadow and created a wormhole-like device out of the statue for the creatures to enter this world.


    ''Four-dimensional creatures can jump to another world at any time, so how should we fight against them?''


    Wu Mo frowned and contemted hard.


    Once the alien shadows disappeared, he could no longer capture them.


    The only thing to do was inform all countries around the world to immediately implement a lockdown and report any abnormalities!


    In the process, Wu Mo was going tounch an initiative where China would establish what he called theary Alliance.


    Everyone living on this had the obligation to participate, and every powerful country had the responsibility to join the alliance.


    To resist the alien civilization''s invasion, Wu Mo hurried back to the base and reported the situation to the old chief.


    "What? Wu Mo, are you joking?"


    After he heard Wu Mo''s report, the old chief was shocked and in disbelief.


    This news was truly hard to ept. Almost no one dared to believe it, and no one could fathom it.


    "Chief, you know I never joke about such things," Wu Mo said solemnly. "This is a true sh of civilizations. We''re already too far behind, and we can''t waste any more time!"


    Hearing Wu Mo''s serious tone, the old chief immediately nodded.


    "Very well! I''ll inform my higher-ups and have theme up with a proposal right now. Theary Alliance must be established as soon as possible!"


    Following the old chief''s report, their higher-ups finally paid enough attention to the issue.


    Since Wu Mo was taking the lead, they had no choice but to take it seriously!


    After all, with Wu Mo''s foresight and judgment, he almost never made a major mistake when handling matters.


    The establishment of a global organization like theary Alliance was initiated by China, and it quickly sparked heated discussions around the world.


    A researcher beside Wu Mo had recorded the anomaly in the rainstorm with a high-definition camera.


    This video clip was then sent to the leaders of the world.


    After they observed the scene for a short ten seconds, they fell silent.


    It was clear in the footage that several shadows had darted out of the statue and disappeared without a trace when they jumped into the air.


    China would not have deliberately tampered with the footage. This also meant that the rumored invasion of four-dimensional creatures was likely true.


    Soon after, the leaders of many countries rushed to China''s base to attend an emergency meeting.


    "Everyone, it''s imperative to form theary Alliance! If we can''t unite and face the invasion of alien civilizations, our will soon be colonized."


    As the representative of the Chinese military, the old chief swept his gaze across the crowd.


    The leaders from various countries began to discuss when they heard what the old chief said.


    A man with a flushed face, thick eyebrows, and a voluminous beard stood up and said, "If the bes a colony, none of us will be spared. Therefore, I support the establishment of theary Alliance!"


    "I support it too!"


    "I also support it!"<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    "On behalf of our country, I support theary Alliance."


    All the representatives expressed their support. Ultimately, if they had no intention of supporting the establishment of theary Alliance, they would not havee to China to participate in this meeting.


    Wu Mo sat in close proximity to the meeting. He watched the reactions of the leaders from various countries, and his mood eased a little.


    If these people were not united enough, once the fourth-dimensional creatures invaded, they would very likely be divided. This would cause the internal conflicts of the human race to intensify.


    When that happened, extraterrestrials could easily colonize Earth.


    However, someone raised a different opinion!


    "May I ask if China advocated the establishment of theary Alliance first because it wanted to upy a leading position in the alliance?"


    It was an extremely sensitive question. In such a hugeary organization, someone had to be in charge of monitoring all countries.


    Those in executive positions naturally had more power. Hence, countries in these positions had absolute say in theary Alliance.


    The election of these countries was usually based on national strength.


    Right now, China''s strength was indisputable, and it was at the top of the world.


    The fact that it was the country that controlled the most nuclear fusion reactors was enough proof.


    Now that China had taken the initiative to propose the establishment of theary Alliance, people could not help but wonder.


    Those in the meeting fell silent.


    The representatives of the various countries took a sip of water awkwardly and could not help but look at the old chief and the Chinese representative beside him.


    The Chinese representative was expressionless, and no one could tell what he was thinking.


    "The country that holds a standing position in theary Alliance should naturally be the country with the strongest national strength. It''s the only way they can take the lead. What do you think?"


    After they heard what the old chief said, some of the foreign leaders nodded in agreement, but there were also some who expressed dissatisfaction.


    "In that case, it''s better not to establish thisary Alliance. If China uses this organization to obtain our country''s interests, we will have nowhere to turn to for justice." One of them stood up and said sharply.


    The old chief smiled and said, "If you''re not interested in joining theary Alliance, please leave. I never expected everyone to be here in the first ce. Just half would be enough."


    The old chief''s bluntness expressed the decision of China''s Supreme Council.


    As long as more than half of the countries joined theary Alliance, they could effectively resist the alien civilization.


    Not all countries had to participate.


    For instance, the leader who spoke earlier had limited strength. When fighting against alien civilizations, his nation would only be sacrificed.


    Strictly speaking, theary Alliance only needed a few of the strongest countries.


    After the various parties expressed their opinions, they briefly announced the establishment of theary Alliance.


    China and three other countries acted as the leaders in the alliance, while the others were ordinary members.


    Following its establishment, theary Alliance''s primary mission was to share China''s controble nuclear fusion reactor technology.


    China was eager to obtain more assistance in the fight against extraterrestrial civilizations. The first thing they had to do was share their technology and help other countries master it.


    The three leaders never thought that joining theary Alliance would bring them such benefits.


    Before they officially started, they obtained the technology for top controble nuclear fusion reactors. This allowed them to develop a reactor in a shorter time.


    Everyone was d that they had joined theary Alliance, and they felt sorry for those countries that had declined.


    Not long after, a strange thing happened.


    The suspected four-dimensional creatures had disappeared overnight. There was no trace of them.


    ''Do they know that we''ve established theary Alliance and achieved unprecedented unity? Are they too afraid to invade for the time being?'' Wu Mo thought to himself.

 Chapter 571 Aliens Are Real

    Wu Mo''s guess might be close to the truth.


    The countries that joined the alliance would share their armed forces and form theary Alliance Army. That way, they could counterattack at any time on a global scale.


    The moment there was an invasion from a four-dimensional alien civilization, they could quickly gather their strongest firepower andunch a targeted attack!


    This time, China''s base was determined.


    The entireary Alliance would be united as they faced unknown dangers without fear.


    Suddenly, something shocking happened in Changping.


    Changping was one of China''s core cities, and it represented the first-tier cities. However, it was currently experiencing a city-wide ckout!


    "How did this happen? The entire city is in a ckout? Have our power generation facilities, backup power station, and controble nuclear fusion reactor all disappeared?"


    The city''s highest-ranking official was in a state of confusion. He did not understand why such an incident had happened.


    Such an important city measured its losses every minute and every second!


    "Hurry up! Activate the backup power generation facilities and restore the power supply immediately! We can''t afford to let this city copse!"


    The person in charge quickly gathered the emergency personnel and ordered them to restore the backup power generation facilities as soon as possible.


    However, the researchers and maintenance staff were on the verge of breaking down.


    They had tried various methods of repair, but none of the backup power generation facilities and the energy transmission cables of the controble nuclear fusion reactor had responded. They were like rusted scrap iron.


    "Report, report! The city has apparently been affected by a strange electromaic wave that has paralyzed all our power generation facilities. Nothing is working despite our many attempts to repair them. Please tell us how to proceed!"


    The highest-ranking official immediately reported the situation to his higher-ups. Not long after, they issued an order to restore the city''s basic power supply at all costs!


    Therefore, he had no choice but to organize more senior maintenance personnel in a race against time to carry out more repair work.


    After Wu Mo heard the news, he immediately rushed to Changping.


    Apanying Wu Mo was a military officer and a research team.


    When they arrived at the backup power generation facility, they saw a group of busy maintenance personnel.


    After Wu Mo took a closer look, he made a surprising discovery: The power generation facility and controble nuclear fusion supply cable in the distance seemed to be filled with a strange but strong maic energy!


    Under this energy''s influence, no electrons could be formed, hence the power generation facilities failedpletely and became worthless.


    "Where is this powerful electromaic interferenceing from?"


    Wu Mo frowned and fell into deep thought.


    Suddenly, a shocking thought urred to him. "Could this¡­ be the work of a four-dimensional creature?"


    After some consideration, he really could not think of any other force on this that could create such a phenomenon aside from an alien civilization.


    "Red alert, red alert! The entire city has entered a state of emergency. Requesting armed support!" an officer immediately gave the order, and the entire city quickly entered a state of emergency.


    It was as if a storm was about to hit, and this tense atmosphere put everyone on edge.


    The citizens of Changping did not know what was going on, and they dared not go out. They could only hide in their homes and watch nervously.


    The shadows outside their windows enveloped the entire city and made it suffocating.


    Wu Mo was also extremely busy at this moment. He had found a way to break the strong maic field in the system''s store.


    Electric current could only be restored and continue to produce electrons after they removed the force field.


    If such an important city was paralyzed for more than an hour, its economic losses would be unimaginable!


    However, thergest projector screen on amercial building''s wall in the city''s central square suddenly lit up.


    "What''s going on?"


    Everyone looked up and stared at the huge screen.


    The screen became pitch ck before countless snowke fragments filled it.


    Then, these fragments reassembled and formed the image of a mysterious creature.


    "Impossible! Alien creatures have appeared?"


    Wu Mo was also stunned. He stared at the screen without blinking.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    The creature that appeared on the huge screen seemed to be humanoid. Its facial features were clear, but it was distorted and strange.


    Its head was covered in thick green hair, and its body was covered in strange green spots!


    The creatureughed arrogantly. "Hahaha! Greetings, creatures of this low-level!"


    He obviously did not care about the Earthling before him.


    "Oh, my God, an alien¡­ Aliens really exist!"


    Right then, the faith of countless people instantly copsed.


    Those who had always believed that aliens did not exist were rendered speechless by the scene.


    It was obviously not a dramatic performance.


    After all, what kind of script would lead to a city-wide ckout?


    Furthermore, the armed forces were fully invested. How could such a hugemotion be for show?


    Even though Wu Mo was shocked by what he saw, he quickly regained hisposure.


    He ordered his subordinates to take action immediately. They had to quickly find where the alien was hiding and contain it. They could not let it enter another four-dimensional space!


    "Yes, Mr. Wu!"


    His subordinates immediately took action.


    The alien on the screen continued, "We came to this in the hopes of helping you get rid of your low-level civilization and upgrade things here. You might even reach the level of an advanced civilization in the future!"


    The people were rattled when they heard this.


    Everyone was in disbelief. These aliens were actually here to help them?


    Were the aliens friendly?


    However, there were still some rational people who understood that this was just alien nonsense!


    What right did the civilizations outside the universe have to help Earthlings advance to a higher level of civilization?


    They were obviously trying to justify their aggressive behavior!


    The alien then said, "It''s a pity that some countries on this have formed a so-called alliance in an attempt to oppose us. They''ve blocked your civilization''s chance of advancing. Sigh!"


    The alien shook its head and sighed.


    Wu Mo was a little surprised. He never thought it would actually start to sow discord.


    However, the more this seemed to be the case, the more Wu Mo felt at ease.


    This meant that the aliens before them were not strong enough to destroy Earth''s civilization.


    They could only resort to such schemes to achieve their goals.


    Wu Mo knew that while advanced civilizations advocated the development of technology, they were also adept at maniption.


    It was a method that they were familiar with. It was just that they had entered a new stage.


    The extraterrestrials tried their best to sow discord and portray how beautiful, noble, and selfless they were.


    Earthlings had formed theary Alliance in an attempt to resist the extraterrestrial forces, and this caused intense controversy among the people.


    Many people who trusted the aliens blindly were bewitched by them, and they demanded theary Alliance to disband.


    However, more people understood the aliens'' n to sow discord.


    "Ha, those who trust the aliens are a bunch of idiots!" someone sneered.


    "You''re the idiot! The alien civilization is friendly, and they''ll help us enter a more advanced civilization. Why should we reject such an opportunity?"


    The people of the two factions argued fiercely, and no one was willing to give in.


    However, the final decision was in the hands of theary Alliance.


    At this moment, the alien''s expression changed drastically, and fear was revealed on its strange face.

 Chapter 572 Creature From A Level 3 Civilization

    A missile descended and released a strong destructive energy that incapacitated the alien.


    "D*mn it! The people of your deserve to die! You can forget about bing an advanced civilization forever! Just wait here while you''re left behind!"


    The alien coughed weakly. It was obvious that the attack earlier had injured it severely.


    "Track it and lock onto its position. We have to destroy it when it reappears!" the officer at the front ordered decisively.


    "This mission has been upgraded to the highest priority. Multiple satellites will cover the search. We must find it."


    Wu Mo knew that the alien had dodged the attack thanks to the abilities it had as a four-dimensional creature. It had managed to jump through space and enter a rift when the missilended.


    This allowed it to avoid damages in the current space, just like how humans could avoid harm inflicted by ants.


    The appearance of aliens announced the arrival of another era. Humans had transitioned from the era of sea monsters to the era of alien invasions.


    It would present an even more severe challenge, and humans would have to face more pain.


    Theary Alliance finally yed a role. Through the sharing of satellite information from various countries, they found a few aliens in the pr regions of Earth.


    Through the channels of theary Alliance, they quickly dispatched a fewrge nuclear-powered submarines with deadly high-densityser missiles!


    These missiles had easily defeated the sea monsters in the past, so they were naturally enough to deal with aliens.


    After all, those sea monsters also originated from outer space.


    Once the satellites locked onto them, the aliens fell into the humans'' line of sight without realizing.


    They were busy collecting samples and breaking ice with a huge mechanical drill.


    There was a triangr spaceship parked next to them. The spaceship was small and exquisite, while its silver-gray surface was almost invisible under the snow.


    However, it could still sense the aliens'' presence with precise detection.


    After precise calctions and tacit cooperation, the nuclear-powered submarines set up a blockade line.


    Once the high-densityser missile locked onto its target, it shot out like lightning!


    Amidst the whistling sounds, the aliens sensed danger. They quickly turned into a trail and disappeared into the spaceship.


    The spaceship instantly came to life and flew in an unbelievable reverse direction!


    It seemed to have free will and was not bound by any restrictions. Even air resistance did not affect it.


    Meanwhile, the high-densityser missiles chased after the aliens and exploded continuously in the air!


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    After a few terrifying explosions, the silver spaceship was finally damaged to the point that it twisted and turned.


    Then, the spaceship, which was emitting ck smoke, crashed into the ground.


    "Haha! We won! We finally won!"


    To humans, shooting down an alien spaceship was like winning an intergctic war.


    Wu Mo saw as the silver spaceship was shot down, and the nuclear-powered submarine team immediately gained secondary control.


    The higher-ups of theary Alliance then gathered at the research center and waited for the silver spaceship''s arrival.


    Not long after, Wu Mo was also invited since he was a research expert of the highest level.


    All the higher-ups of theary Alliance gathered together.


    Through a thick protective ss wall, they saw the silver spaceship that had just been transported from the base.


    A few green-haired aliens were also locked in a small box that resembled a ss container.


    This device could generate a millivolts of electricity at any time, and its sturdiness was second only to the red box.


    One could say that it was the strongest protective device on Earth!


    Suddenly, one of the green aliens opened its eyes.


    Wow!<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    When the alien woke up, everyone was so startled that they took a few steps back.


    After all, aliens came from advanced civilizations and had invincible attacks.


    The guards in the base raised their machine guns and stared at the aliens, ready to fire at any time.


    The green alien woke up and realized that it was in restraints. It could extend its eyeballs slightly and turn them 360 degrees to scan its surrounding environment.


    "Human, I didn''t expect our advanced civilization to fall at your hands. How ridiculous!" the alien said.


    Its voice was cold and calm, like the metallic sound of a machine.


    "Which are you from? How far is it from us?"


    The researcher next to Wu Mo tried to talk to the alien.


    The aliens had advanced technology, somunication was not a problem.


    "Our..." he said slowly. "Even if I told you, you wouldn''t understand. Besides, it''s only two light-years away from you."


    What the hell?! Only two light-years? Wu Mo was just as surprised.


    Thinking about it carefully, two light-years was still far away, far beyond the distance of the entire Taal Neb.


    However,pared to the distance of a few hundred to a thousand light-years, two light-years was enough to make a person wary.


    "How far has your developed?" the researcher continued to ask.


    The alien tried to break free from the ss cover. However, Wu Mo red at it just as it moved.


    In an instant, someone activated the power generator. Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!


    A terrifying million-volts of high-voltage electricity was instantly released, and the entire ss cover almost exploded.


    The alien''s body was instantly charred ck, and the green skin emitted nauseating smoke.


    Its body froze for a while before it returned to its senses.


    "Oh? It actually withstood such high voltage electricity. Just as I expected, these guys have an extremely high resistance to high-voltage electricity. Their bodies have even been modified!" Wu Mo''s heart skipped a beat.


    Everyone gave the alien some time to recover. Itspanions were still unconscious, and it was the only one that could answer questions.


    After a while, the alien regained its senses and began to respond.


    "Our is home to a Level 3 civilization, which is one level higher than Earth''s civilization."


    They were a level higher than Earth? Everyone present became excited. They had thought that human civilization was only Level 5, but now, they recognized it as Level 4.


    This was probably because humans had mastered controble nuclear fusion and applied it to their lives.


    Wu Mo thought to himself, ''If these guys find out that I''ve sessfully integrated antimatter into the field of armaments and aerospace, Earth would probably be considered a Level 3 civilization, right?''


    In that case, he would be on the same level as these guys. However, Wu Mo knew that they had a skill that he could never reach¡ªthe unique ability of four-dimensional creatures to travel through space.


    "Are you four-dimensional creatures?" Wu Mo asked the question that made everyone uneasy.


    Everyone held their breath, trying to understand the difference between the four-dimensional and the three-dimensional.


    But the alien shook his head and said, "No, we are not four-dimensional creatures."


    What the hell?! They were not four-dimensional creatures? How was this possible? Everyone could not believe it.


    Apart from being surprised, they were filled with curiosity and desire for the unknown world.


    Everyone saw the scene clearly: They instantly turned into faint ck marks in the air and disappeared.


    Wasn''t this a unique symbol of four-dimensional creatures?


    The alien then exined, "In reality, we have mastered a special technique that allows an invisible coat to be tightly attached to our skin. This technology allows us to change the color of our bodies and even infrared sensing while gaining the ability to float. It gives the perception that we''ve disappeared!"


    So that was the case. Wu Mo suddenly realized that if they could really travel through space, the high-densityser missiles from before would not have been able to shoot down their spaceship.

 Chapter 573 Another Civilized Planet, Birth Of Antimatter Device

    These guys could not really travel through space to avoid all harm. They just used extremely advanced stealth methods to avoid human detection.


    Nevertheless, it would still take humans a long time to figure out this method of invisibility. "Hand over your technology!" aresearcher roared fiercely and tried to make himself look more threatening.


    "Hehe, your low-level civilization can''t evene up with its own stealth technology. Looks like I overestimated you. To be honest, you''re still a Level 5 civilization!"


    The alien wore a disdainful expression, even though his voice was still mechanically synthesized and emotionless.


    Immediately after, the high-voltage current surged again, and the alien''s body was electrocuted until it was stiff and straight.


    Surprisingly, this time, the alien actually took the initiative to beg for mercy! It was obvious that the alien was wary and afraid of these electric currents.


    During this critical time, it was crucial to unlock the truth from the alien. The humans had obtained countless key clues from its silent confession.


    They came to learn about a peculiar name¡ªDark Star.


    Yes, the name conjured up darkness. However, this was not dark. Instead, it was like a dazzling pearl in the night sky.


    Up in the starry sky on Earth, there was an extremely bright star in the southwest. As night fell, it gradually disappeared into the sky. That was the legendary Dark Star.


    This important information was based on the astronomers''prehensive analysis of their conversation with the alien.


    It was an extremely well founded conclusion, and Dark Star was ced on the observatory''s key observation list.


    The distance between Dark Star and Earth made them realize that they could not ignore its existence.


    They were almost done cleaning up the remnants of sea monsters. The world officially announced the end of the sea monster era and weed the invasion of interster civilizations.


    Theary Alliance was searching for aliens who might be lurking in the human world. They even announced that if anyone noticed any strange behavior from the people around them, they had to report it immediately.


    "What? How is this happening?" Everyone was shocked. They began to look at the people around them warily to see if there was anything unusual about their behavior.


    If someone behaved abnormally, they would be considered a possible threat, and they would be investigated.


    Theary Alliance''s investigation was fair and strict. They would not me anyone for no reason or let go of any suspect.


    They would never tolerate aliens inciting chaos and creating danger in human society. China undoubtedly yed the role of leader in theary Alliance. It had also shared its advanced technology with the other member countries. It hoped to use this opportunity to increase the entire''s strength.


    Just as the alien had mentioned, they had a chance to raise the''s civilization to a higher level. This was an exciting opportunity!


    In the face of extraterrestrial threats, mankind could not rely on individual strength. They needed to unite all possible forces and not waste any chance they had.


    One day, Wu Mo was invited to a small but important meeting. The representatives of various countries had already taken their seats in the conference room. The atmosphere was calm but solemn.


    When Wu Mo walked into the meeting room, everyone instantly turned their eyes to him as friendly and warm smiles filled their faces.


    "Everyone, I have an important announcement to make. We have sessfully created an antimatter production device. We expect to apply it to our weapons and aerospace fields!" Wu Mo''s voice was steady and deep.


    As soon as he said that, the meeting room fell silent. But soon, there was an explosion of surprise and shock.


    "Antimatter?" The representatives of the various countries were instantly taken aback. "Oh, my God, we just achieved controble nuclear fusion, and in less than two months, you guys have made a breakthrough in antimatter?!"<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    "Your technology is developing at such a fast pace?!" Their faces were filled with shock and confusion.


    They had assumed that they would be able to catch up to China after mastering controble nuclear fusion.


    They never thought China''s technology would develop so rapidly. China had already discovered the secret to antimatter!


    "Chief Engineer Wu, I once heard that antimatter is the obverse of matter. The explosion of its energy is extremely terrifying."


    A representative from another country who had once been involved in antimatter research sounded a little wary.


    He had put in a lot of effort in this field, but he had not achieved any results. Wu Mo looked at him and nodded.


    "That''s right. Antimatter contains enormous energy. You can say that if we have enough antimatter, we can even make objects move faster than the speed of light!"


    "Faster than the speed of light?" After he heard this, the representative plopped down in his chair. He was rendered speechless.


    However, he was beyond ecstatic because he could witness the birth of antimatter in his lifetime.


    All the representatives listened quietly. They knew that there was more important information behind this news.


    "With that said, the amount of antimatter we can produce is still extremely limited. At present, we can only use it for warheads. If we want spaceships to be driven by antimatter, we need everyone''s full cooperation," Wu Mo said.


    "Oh? What kind of cooperation and support can we provide to China?" A puzzled voice sounded in the meeting room.


    It was from another foreign representative. Everyone had already made up their minds. This was a major event for all of humanity.


    In the face of an unknown threat from the universe, humanity had to actively be on the offensive and n ahead.


    Under Wu Mo''s guidance, the personnel on China''s base stated their needs.


    Firstly, they needed arge amount of special rare metals. These metals were not abundant in China, but there were abundant reserves in other countries.


    Secondly, China needed a special material that could increase the production speed of antimatter.


    Wu Mo made things very clear. Without this material, China would be in an extremely difficult situation. Thirdly, they needed global confidentiality.


    The antimatter technology would be ssified as top secret and would not be disclosed to the public until the civilization of mankind reached Level 1 and possessed the ability to protect itself.


    These requests received everyone''s approval. The three conditions were within reasonable limits, so all the countries present agreed.


    China''s n was named "Operation Universal Action." It was a n that contained the dreams of mankind. It challenged the universe and announced the strong rise of the human.


    Wy Mo looked at the warehouse that was full of rare metals and precious raw materials from various countries. He knew that there would be a greater breakthrough in the production of antimatter.


    When the time was right, thebination of antimatter and spaceships would be possible. Humans could hope to travel through the universe and even surpass the speed of light!


    However, this would challenge the long-standingws of physics, and overturning thesews would not be easy. Even so, Wu Mo had enough confidence as the chief nner since his team had gathered the world''s best physics experts.

 Chapter 574 Terrifying Antimatter, Universe Exploration Plan Initiated

    When they saw the huge equipment, they were all amazed.


    "Oh, my God, Mr. Wu, is this the device you used to study antimatter? I''ve been researching this for decades, but I''ve never been able to achieve anything. I never thought I would see such a device with my own eyes!"


    A senior scientist from China pushed up his sses, and his eyes were filled with deep surprise as well as admiration while he spoke. Wu Mo smiled and nodded.


    His voice was firm and honest. "That''s right, Sir. This device can produce 0.01 grams of antimatter in a month. However, the production speed is still far from enough to meet our needs."


    Huh, 0.01 grams of antimatter? Every scientist present, including senior scientists from other countries, exchanged looks of surprise. They all knew that even though 0.01 grams sounded insignificant, it actually represented an extremely huge amount of energy.


    If 0.01 grams of antimatter waspletely released, the power of the explosion would be sufficient to destroy a city ten times over!


    "Mr. Wu, how does this device ensure the safety of antimatter?" an internationally-known scientist who prioritized safety could not help but ask.


    Wu Mo continued to smile, and his answer was filled with confidence. "We have the antimatter under control. We''re confident that we can prevent it from going fric. However, we still can''t increase the production speed too quickly due to safety reasons."


    "I see. To ensure safety, you slowed down the pace of production. China is truly an opponent worthy of our respect!" the foreign scientist could not help but praise.


    Indeed, if China desperately elerated the production of antimatter, it could possibly produce arge amount of antimatter in a short period of time.


    However, doing so would be extremely irresponsible. Once antimatter got out of control, it would cause unimaginable destructive consequences. With the joint efforts of all scientists and physicists, coupled with the supply of rare metals and special materials, they sessfully ensured that the reactor would produce one gram of antimatter within a month.


    With one gram of antimatter, human spaceships could break through the barriers of the gxy and even reach further ces!


    They could produce it at a rate that was a hundred times faster than originally nned, so Wu Mo was deeply satisfied with this. His eyes were full of hope for the future. Now, they had the ability to produce enough antimatter to help their spaceship break through the gxy''s barrier.


    The same four astronauts fromst time were a part of this mission as well.


    They had experience traveling in outer space and understood how endlessly deste the universe was. This also proved that they were psychologically outstanding.


    Back when they decided to return from space, their minds were as firm as a rock. There was no doubt that they carried out their orders with determination.


    When they saw the huge ck shadow sh past in the atmosphere, they did not panic in the slightest. They were secretly taken aback but they still recorded the scene.


    This proved that they were mentally strong. Their calmness and professionalism were self-evident.


    Therefore, Wu Mo agreed to let them participate in this mission as well. Thetest mission was a crystallization of mankind''s wisdom, and it could not fail!


    This time, they were not only carrying China''s hopes but also mankind''s dream. The four astronauts were under tremendous pressure.


    "Don''t be afraid. Our technology is advanced enough. Believe in mankind''s wisdom and strength!"


    Wu Mo calmly patted the four astronauts on the shoulder andforted them.


    Hearing this, the four astronauts felt a sense of pride. They were piloting spaceships created by the best scientists and physicists in the world.


    These high-tech machines were the result of Wu Mo''s leadership. What did they have to fear? However, after some thought, they realized that their worries were not for selfish reasons but for mankind''s future.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    Now, more and more alien civilizations were being discovered, and the nearest one was only three light-years away.


    Perhaps, there were other civilizations in the Taal Neb, but humans had yet to discover them.


    This time, the global live broadcast was aimed at the spaceship that was about to take off in an attempt to capture the great moment.


    As the chief nner of Operation Universal Action, Wu Mo walked up to the camera and exined his determination to the global audience.


    Wu Mo did not choose to be in this position, but he was given a mission to show the whole world the beginning and end of his historic n.


    Those in theary Alliance were also in agreement because they understood that the elites were not the only ones responsible for bringing their civilization to new heights. It was the responsibility of every citizen.


    If anyone cked, they could be a burden to the entire civilization. "What you''re looking at is the crystallization of the world''s intelligence, a super spaceship that has never been seen before. It will help us break through the shackles of the Taal Neb, explore unknown parts of the universe, mark star areas that may give birth to life, and build a safety line for mankind!"


    Wu Mo''s sonorous and powerful speech was filled with conviction.


    Following Wu Mo''s detailed exnation, the audience finally understood the operation''s great goal. It was to open a safe path for mankind, detect possible hidden threats, and prepare for the future.


    Before the fervent gaze of a global audience, the spaceship slowly rose into the air.


    Seeing the spaceship gradually leave, countless people were teary-eyed, and their hearts were filled with excitement.


    "Look, it really went up! This is our hope, the hope of humanity!"


    "Yes, this spaceship represents the highest level of humanity. On top of that, the person behind all of this is China''s Mr. Wu Mo!"


    "Haha, Wu Mo is our pride, the pride of all mankind. Aside from him, who else is qualified to be in such a position?"


    "You''re right. Those old scientists couldn''t have done it. Wu Mo is the only capable one!" The people discussed with excitement.


    Their eyes filled with admiration and hope as they watched the spaceship gradually disappear into the horizon.


    They believed that this spaceship would definitely realize mankind''s dreams and explore the most mysterious corners of the universe.


    At this moment, Wu Mo and all the researchers were nervously monitoring the spaceship''s every move in themand center.


    Although he was not absolutely certain, Wu Mo understood the importance of this national action n. Any mistake could result in a heavy price.


    A few hourster, the spaceship began to slow down, but it sessfully broke through their''s atmosphere and headed straight for the depths of the universe.


    However, Wu Mo knew that he had to start a crucial part of his n right then: He would use the propulsion that the antimatter provided to give the voyaging ship unprecedented speed.


    This was the best stage in the experiment. They would witness whether or not one gram of antimatter was enough for them to surpass the speed of light and create history.


    At this moment, all the renowned scientists and important figures from all over the world were gathered at themand center. Many of them were even waiting outside the door and in the corridor.

 Chapter 575 Beyond The Speed Of Light, Where Is The Alien Civilization?

    When their assistants passed by, they were shocked by the sight. "Oh, my God, isn''t that Taclofini?"


    "Impossible! Taclofini? Isn''t that the Nobel Prizeureate?"


    "It''s definitely him! Besides, that''s Old Parker over there. I heard that he''s retired!"


    "Old Parker? My former idol, why has he suddenly reappeared?"


    "Forget Old Parker. Quick, look over there¡­Could that be..."


    The assistants were dumbfounded because the world''s top physicists were all there.


    More shockingly, these well-known figures were not even qualified to enter themand center. They could only stare at the door and corridor.


    In that case, what kind of people were allowed to be in themand center''s innermost part and face the screens directly?


    People dared not even imagine it. Famous physicists such as Old Parker, Taclofini, and other Nobel Prizeureates could only watch from the corridor.


    In themand center, those who were qualified to stand before the screens consisted of Nobel Prize winners and people who had made great contributions to human society.


    There were obvious differences between their achievements.


    Some of their theories were novel and avant-garde; they had yet to be proven and could only bring hope.


    Nevertheless, their theories were close to reality and close to changing the living environment of humans. Although it was impossible to directly rank these individuals, other scientists could clearly tell how great they were.


    At this moment, Wu Mo stood in the middle of everyone. Being Operation Universal Action''s nner, he knew that he would shock the scientists of the world.


    The world''s most famous scientists were there because they were about to witness whether the spaceship would surpass the speed of light.


    Since the birth of modern science, the speed of light was like an insurmountable mountain before everyone.


    What would happen if they could truly surpass the speed of light? This was a huge temptation for all scientists, especially physicists. It was a problem that left them unable to sleep and eat.


    Now, this mystery was about to be revealed. Who could resist such a temptation? Wu Mo gave the order, and the astronauts immediately switched on the propulsion mode.


    The spaceship''s speed began to increase slightly.


    "Look, it''s getting faster!" The scientists only saw the changes in the data on the screen. The spaceship''s speed was increasing, and it was a rapid eleration. It even went past severals at a rapid speed.


    The spaceship''s speed was indescribable. If it were not for anti-satellite detection technology, the artificial satellites in space would not have been able to capture its shadow.


    "Look, its speed has increased again. It''s about to reach its limit!" another physicist could not help but exim.


    With the propulsion of antimatter, the spaceship was now traveling close to the speed of sound.


    "Look, it''s going beyond the speed of sound!" The data on the screen then showed that the spaceship had exceeded the speed of sound.


    However, the speed of sound was just the beginning. They wanted to see it surpass the speed of light.


    After it broke through the speed of sound, the spaceship did not show any signs of slowing down. Instead, it continued to elerate at an astonishing speed.


    "Its speed is too terrifying!" Everyone was in disbelief when they saw the scene. Even though the spaceship had not surpassed the speed of light yet, its current speed was enough to make them gasp in amazement.


    In the next moment, there was an explosion of speed, and the spaceship disappeared from everyone''s sight. It was as if time and space were torn apart.


    "This-This is impossible!"


    Everyone on the scene cried out in surprise. Their eyes failed to keep up with the spaceship that had vanished.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    They opened their eyes wide and tried to spot a faint light on the screen, but in the end, they gave up because there was no sign of the spaceship.


    A scientific researcher snapped out of his daze. "The spaceship has probably turned into light."


    Turned into light? His statement caused a stir in the crowd, but Wu Mo understood what the researcher meant.


    If such a massive object traveled faster than the speed of light, it probably turned into light itself.


    This was because objects that surpassed the speed of light would definitely have the characteristics of light.


    Once something was faster than light, it would be impossible to urately capture it with the human eye.


    The reason was, the spaceship had be an amalgamation of light particles to a certain extent. Meanwhile, the human eye was limited by its natural structure, so it was unable to analyze every particle from a beam of light.


    However, it was worth noting that the astronauts and spaceship still existed.


    They were just too fast. Since they had advanced to another level, it was impossible for others to see them.


    Wu Mo found that they could still maintain contact with the spaceship.


    "Astronauts, what do you see around you now? Over."


    Wu Mo asked themander to immediately check on the astronauts, while the scientificmunity around the world was paying attention. They all wanted to know how the astronauts in the spaceship felt when they surpassed the speed of light for the first time.


    After a moment of silence, there was still no response from the astronauts.


    Wu Mo started to worry. He was afraid that something had happened to them.


    Just as he became extremely anxious, one of the astronauts finally replied.


    "Roger. I apologize, Chief. Sorry, researchers! We were so blown away that we forgot to respond!"


    The entiremand center fell silent. Everyone was caught off guard by the unexpected reason. Then, the originally tense atmosphere seemed to disappear in an instant. They did not know whether tough or cry at this unexpected reversal.


    Soon after, the astronauts began to seriously describe their surroundings.


    "The universe we see is more brilliant and magnificent than anyone can imagine. It appears to be endless andplex.


    "There is an ocean of broken stars. If we collide with any of them at the speed of light, it might trigger a series of cosmic ray explosions! There''s also an old red dwarf star. The energy it contains is enough to induce fear.


    "We''ve even found some greens that likely nurture elementary life."


    His voice was filled with curiosity for the unknown and reverence for the universe.


    However, he could not directly observe the current state of the world outside the spaceship.


    "Chief, gentlemen, we have not found any suspiciouss or advanced alien civilizations. We need to continue exploring. Over." The astronaut''s voice was firm and calm.


    Wu Mo nodded silently. Thanks to the antimatter''s propulsion, he knew that they could keep traveling faster than the speed of light for a long time.


    This spaceship might be able to carry the hope of humanity for a period of time as it wandered the universe and explored the unknown sea of stars.


    He was not too worried. The antimatter had enough energy to drive the spaceship for a year or more.


    They could go to Dark Star, or even more distants, such as Carlot, Tafaro, and other ces that humans once thought were out of reach.


    Wu Mo''s gaze fell on the screen, and his eyes filled with determination as the spaceship disappeared.

 Chapter 576 An Unexpected Surprise, Building A Planetary Defense System

    "We need to raise the production of antimatter to a new level and explore the legendary dark matter!"


    Dark matter was a variant of matter like antimatter, but it was more mysterious and powerful.


    It was said that dark matter was everywhere, but no one could capture it.


    Its power was not as violent as antimatter, but it was full of destruction.


    Once dark matter reacted with existing matter, it would quickly cause the destruction and copse of everything around it.


    Therefore, it was not difficult to imagine how the human world would facerge-scale extinction if this happened.


    Everything today is made of matter, and their basic elements form the periodic table of elements that we are familiar with.


    Once these elements disappeared, the human body would also disappearpletely.


    "Oh, my God! We actually traveled beyond the speed of light!"


    This shocking discovery shook the biggest experts in the scientificmunity. It still felt like a dream.


    They never thought that they would be able to witness it in their lifetime, and it aroused a deeper level of curiosity.


    Such a huge spaceship could travel faster than light speed.


    In that case, could a person travel faster than the speed of light, go back to the past, and witness historic moments from ancient times?


    This question sparked a wider discussion. Not only did scientists show interest but literati and historians did too.


    However, ording to the mainstream consensus, it was an unscientific idea. In theory, the human eye reflected light, so one could see beyond the reflection of light if one could surpass the speed of light.


    However, the flow of time was synchronized.


    Unless you could surpass the speed of light and the flow of time, you would still see things at the same time as you.


    However, to Wu Mo, these discussions were meaningless.


    His current goal was to return to the base immediately and check the system''s store. At this moment, the system had added some new items to the store, which surprised Wu Mo.


    For one, there was the Heavenly Cannon! This super weapon''s range of attack exceeded the entire''s size. Usually, in the vacuum environment of outer space, theck of air resistance could be utilized to obtain greater propulsion. This resulted in arger explosion and wider range.


    The cost of making these cannons was not cheap, but with Wu Mo''s current strength, it waspletely possible to make three to five of them at once.


    There was also a device called the Power Generation Center. The name sounded more like a concept.


    However, it was not a real power generation center but a piece of equipment made using the same principle.


    There was actually a free cruising system simr to satellite detection hidden in this ultimate power generation center.


    One could set it up thousands of kilometers away from the atmosphere, and it would gaze at the universe like a single eye.


    Its biggest advantage was its ability to automatically charge all kinds of equipment that passed by.


    This idea might have seemed a little unrealistic, but in reality, someone had tried it a long time ago. Now, the system''s store had turned it into reality.


    Wu Mo''s heart skipped a beat when he saw it. A n to build aary defense system gradually took shape in his mind.


    The ultimate power generation device would be ced in outer space so that it could cruise like a space station. It would also be equipped with a giant cannon to protect the entire.


    With that in ce, they would be prepared when other civilizations approached. Some civilizations would even feel fear and retreat quickly if they saw such equipment.


    In the distance, the small antimatter spaceship continued its search for other civilizations in the deep cosmos. In the long run, all of this would help ensure China''s safety to the greatest extent.


    With the system''s protection, the entire became more secure.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    This stable development environment caused earth-shaking changes in the whole of human society.


    Now, antimatter was no longer a rare thing. Every country had at least one small orrge controble nuclear fusion reactor.


    This reactor could provide an endless supply of energy, which allowed the people of these countries to enjoy unlimited energy supply.


    Therefore, each country developed at rocket speed, and development trends showed a vertical straight line.


    Activating a controble nuclear fusion reactor was like opening Pandora''s box. It raised the entire''s civilization to a new level.


    Their had undergone earth-shaking changes. High-rise buildings had be the basic configuration, and there were many facilities, as well as buildings, straight out of a science fiction movie.


    They had achieved unimaginable things as humans, but China had always been at the forefront of the world.


    Seeing the''s civilization gradually progress, the Chinese people were extremely proud.


    At present, China had basically confirmed their status in the eyes of the alien life forms¡ªit was a Level 4 space civilization.


    Wu Mo, who had fought with Dark Star before, knew that even though they were already a Level 4 civilization, they still had to work hard to be a Level 3 civilization.


    Once they reached Level 3, they would be able to roam light-years away like the aliens from Dark Star.


    Although hundreds or even tens of millions of light-years was still incredibly far, a short distance of a few light-years should be feasible.


    However, their current progress was only the first step in achieving the ability to travel between universes.


    The current antimatter spaceship had sessfully broken through the shackles of the gxy and arrived outside the Taal Neb.


    However, it was merely the distance between gxies. It had not crossed the distance of light-years.


    To achieve light-years of travel, they had to put in more effort in antimatter technology.


    When necessary, they had to master the technology to use dark matter.


    "We still have a heavy task! "Wu Mo shook his head and said with a bitter smile.


    To master the use of dark matter was more difficult than he had imagined.


    Dark matter was even more elusive and difficult to grasp than antimatter.


    Furthermore, the equipment in the system''s store that could capture dark matter was extremely expensive and almost unattainable.


    However, once he mastered the usage of dark matter, Wu Mo believed that they would be able to break through their current limitations and be a Level 3 space civilization.


    Once the Heavenly Cannon and the Ultimate Power Generation Center were put into use, Wu Mo would purchase awork system.


    Thiswork system could upgrade China''stestmand system.


    A realwork system could record a hundred responses in a single call. As long as the center issued an order, any receiving point could receive it and respond immediately.


    With intentional guidance from themand center, the various receiving points could cooperate with each other and feedback moreprehensive information.


    On this day, news of the spaceship surpassing the speed of light was reported, and it instantly caused a heated response around the world.


    Then, Wu Mo announced his next step to the world via the Chinese media: They would promote aary defense n through theary Alliance.


    In this defense n, several new space-grade weapons would emerge. When they ced these weapons in space, they would make it a live broadcast to increase mankind''s confidence and pride.


    People went crazy. At this moment, the whole world went crazy!


    Never in their wildest dreams did they expect to witness such a shocking scene in their lives.

 Chapter 577 Omni-Directional Defense System, Alien Visitor

    "Heavens! We''re really about tounch space weapons and build aary defense system. This has truly be a higher civilization!" A citizen in the crowd sighed.


    "That''s right. I still find it hard to believe.We''ve developed a lot faster in the past few months than we ever had in thest several hundred years!" aman beside him echoed.


    "Look at the energy that the nuclear fusion reactors around us provide. It''s endless. All of this feels like a dream¡­" Another person looked at the sky and sighed.


    On this day, people all over the world were waiting in nervous anticipation. They wanted to see what kind of weapon Wu Mo wouldunch to protect their.


    Even the leaders of other countries showed up to observe the weapon up close.


    "Oh, is that the Heavenly Cannon?" Someone in the crowd pointed at theunch pad in the distance. There was a device that seemed peculiar inparison to other cannons on their. It was the Heavenly Cannon that Wu Mo had mentioned before.


    The Heavenly Cannon had a longer shooting range and greater power. Most importantly, it could be fired in a vacuum environment, which would grant it that greater shooting range and explosive power.


    After many virtual simtions, Wu Mo spected that the Heavenly Cannon was almost as powerful as a hundred high-densityser missiles in terms of explosive power. It was shocking.


    The Ultimate Power Generation Center was like a pair of eyes, and the giant cannon was like a pair of hands.


    Together, they scanned the vast starry sky, ready to attack at any time andpletely crush all threats.


    "Ladies and gentlemen, as part of ourary defense n, our Heavenly Cannon and the Ultimate Power Generation Center will break through the atmosphere and float in space. They will be solid shields for our."


    Following Wu Mo''s signal, an official representative announced themencement of the n before the global media.


    Theary defense n was not limited to the Heavenly Cannon and the Ultimate Power Generation Center!


    In theary Alliance, any capable country with determination could contribute their own top-notch equipment. They could send it to outer space on spaceships in an effort to protect their together.


    However, at this stage, they could only be bystanders. They had no means to participate in such a grand n!


    As for Wu Mo, he was silently making preparations for the next step of hisary defense n.


    The Heavenly Cannon and the Ultimate Power Generation Center merely represented the prologue.


    The cannon was the first to break through the atmosphere and enter space!


    As theunch vehicle propelled it, only a small portion of antimatter was converted into kic energy. It managed to quickly break through the constraints of the atmosphere and be released in space.


    The device tform left the rocket and slowly floated along the predetermined orbit.


    "We''ve seeded! We''ve finally seeded! This space cannon will be controlled by thetestmand system. Once a target appears, the cannon will lock onto it and eliminate it immediately!" aChinese researcher shouted excitedly.


    After the Heavenly Cannon''s sessfulunch, the next thing to appear was the Ultimate Power Generation Center.


    This mysterious device confused everyone. They did not understand what it was.


    It was not until an official exined it that they came to a realization. The Ultimate Power Generation Center slowly rose into space in aunch vehicle as well. Its ascent was soon announced as a sess.


    Being an advocate and pioneer of theary defense n, Wu Mo walked onto the central podium and exined the n''s core significance to the world.


    "Everyone, the Heavenly Cannon has the power to cause an earth-shaking explosion in the vacuum. Nothing else can match its range. In other words, if an alien spaceship approached, it would suffer a devastating blow from the giant cannon," Wu Mo''s words echoed in the air.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    "Alien civilizations would also be within its attack range?"


    For a moment, everyone was shocked. No one thought that the Heavenly Cannon would be so powerful.


    "Chief Wu, what if a creature from the four-dimensional space invades us? Can the Heavenly Cannon lock onto it?"


    A question broke the silence.


    However, Wu Mo smiled and replied, "In anticipation of that, we created a second device, the Ultimate Power Generation Center."


    "So the Ultimate Power Generation Center deals with four-dimensional creatures?" Everyone was enlightened.


    "The Ultimate Power Generation Center is like a giant eye," Wu Mo continued. "What makes it more powerful is that it can supply energy endlessly. This makes sure that the cannon will be urate and will not lose its trajectory."


    Hearing this, everyone understood that the Ultimate Power Generation Center was simr to amand center, and the Heavenly Cannon was the powerful weapon that it controlled.


    Wu Mo''s simple exnation gave everyone a deeper understanding of theary defense n.


    Now, every country in theary Alliance was working hard to develop equipment like the Heavenly Cannon and Ultimate Power Generation Center. They were scrambling to participate in theary defense n.


    Any country that could follow in China''s footsteps and be the second country to participate in the defense n would undoubtedly receive high honor and praise. At the same time, it would, to a certain extent, establish itself as a powerful country.


    Even though no country could surpass China at the moment, it was still a great honor for anyone to be ranked second.


    Once Wu Mo''s defense n wasunched, it caused a huge sensation around the world.


    People generally believed that their civilization had entered Level 4 and would soon enter Level 3.


    The explosion of technology followed.


    With their wisdom and perseverance, the masters of science from all over the world created many unprecedented weapons. However, most ideas could only remain on paper with their seemingly infinite potential. They had no practical effect and could only be ssified as daydreams of madmen.


    Nevertheless, there were still some ideas that were carefully improved with subtle guidance from Wu Mo. They were sessfully included in the defense n, which made their more secure in the vast universe.


    Wu Mo thought to himself, ''Once we have dark matter at our disposal, our civilization willpletely enter Level 3. When that happens, our spaceships will be able to travel light-years and search for those wonderful wormholes. We''ll be able to travel through them and even reach further star fields.''


    On this day of anticipation, a strange aircraft that resembled a shuttle slowly sailed through space and approached a blue.


    Those manning it had been wandering aimlessly in search of their lostpanions. However, when they arrived, they felt a strong signal interference, which forced their aircraft to slow down.


    "Hmm? There''s an obstacle ahead. What is it?" A strange creature in the aircraft frowned, and its mind was full of questions.


    They were dressed in green and covered in green hair. Although their faces did not look human, they were three-dimensional.


    At this moment, they were shocked to discover that there were floating patches of¡­ trash!


    "What''s going on? This looks pleasant, but how can there be so much garbage floating just beyond its atmosphere?"


    The alien creatures in the aircraft were confused. At the same time, they elerated and tried to clean up the trash.

 Chapter 578 They Are Invaders, Prepare To Capture The Aliens Alive

    "What a pity. There are so many impurities that it''s enough to destroy a! The creatures on this really don''t know how to cherish it!"


    The green-haired alien shook its head in regret. "This doesn''t seem to have an advanced civilization, but something seems to be hidden behind these floating trash. We have to be vignt." Another alien nodded and said warily


    The two aliens maneuvered their fusiform spaceship nervously and approached with caution.


    Suddenly, the rm in themand center of China''s base broke the silence. It was immediately transmitted to all the receiving points throughout themand system.


    Wu Mo was enjoying a rare break, but the rm instantly woke him up. He quickly put on his clothes and rushed to themand center.


    Soon after, top astrologers and rted scientists from various countries also arrived.


    Their eyes were fixed on the screen. Through the "eyes" of the space monitoring center, they could clearly see a fusiform spaceship slowly approaching from afar.


    "They''re here, they''re really here! These are highly advanced beings from another part of the universe!"


    For a moment, everyone had a tense gaze. There was fear, excitement, and worry about the unknown in the depths of their pupils.


    There were all kinds ofplex emotions on everyone''s faces. They watched as the spaceship gradually approached the atmosphere and slowed down.


    "What are these guys trying to do?" Wu Mo frowned and could not help but ask. At this moment, they saw the spaceship''s hatch slowly open. Then, an iparably huge steel arm extended toward the huge cannon that floated in the distance.


    "What?! They''re grabbing the Heavenly Cannon! They''re invaders!"


    Right then, those in themand center were on guard. This alien spaceship clearly had ill intentions.


    They had originally wanted to be entirely sure before they took action, but now, it seemed that there was no doubt about it.


    Therefore, everyone looked at Wu Mo in unison. He was the designer of the''s defense n, and it was currently facing a serious challenge.


    Faced with the sudden appearance of an alien spaceship, should humanity choose to smooth things over or fight immediately?


    Wu Mo''s decision was firm and cold like a knife. He waved his hand and yelled, "Fire!"


    Yes, Wu Mo had chosen to fight back without hesitation. These extraterrestrial creatures had clearly disyed hostility, so Wu Mo would notpromise.


    Following hismand, the Heavenly Cannon began to gather energy furiously as the Ultimate Power Generation Center controlled it.


    Bolts of blue lightning shot out from the cannon! Then, a blue light orb the size of a human head glinted and illuminated the floating alien spaceship before them.


    "What is this? These low-level creatures actually have such weapons?" the two aliens in the spaceship discovered in horror.


    However, it was toote.


    The Heavenly Cannon locked onto them and fired instantly! The blue ball of light streaked across the sky like a shooting star and crashed into the spaceship.


    The spaceship tried to pull off an incredible evasive maneuver, but it was still hit by the blue light.


    The Heavenly Cannon''s terrifying power was instantly released, and it spread to its surroundings like a tidal wave.


    At this moment, the explosion illuminated the endless darkness, and the surrounding space fell into chaos.


    The spaceship was in a sorry state amid the explosion. Like a fallen leaf that was dancing in the wind, it swayed left and right.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    More terrifyingly, the cannon''s maximum power had been unleashed in the vacuum environment. It pushed the entire alien spaceship tens of thousands of miles away.


    On a''s surface, tens of thousands of miles was not that astonishing, and in the universe''s vacuum environment, the same distance was pretty much nothing.


    Time and space were a blur there. The flow of time was extremely slow, and everything seemed to be before one''s eyes.


    At this moment, Wu Mo issued another order, and the Heavenly Cannon immediately condensed a second beam of energy.


    Just as another blue light orb formed, the alien spaceship finally sent out a clear signal. The message contained a sincere request.


    "Please stop, low-level civilization. We can see your strength. We have note with hostile intentions. Perhaps we can have a peaceful conversation?"


    The message was ambiguous. If they had notmunicated with that green alien from before, the humans would not have been able to decipher its meaning.


    However, after talking to the alien, themand center managed to encrypt theirnguage. Therefore, Wu Mo could roughly understand the meaning of this statement.


    Wu Mo''s eyes became extremely serious as he carefully scrutinized the spaceship.


    He realized that even though the Heavenly Cannon hadunched an attack, it did not cause any destructive damage.


    Therefore, he nodded and chose to talk to them. However, the second ball of blue light was still floating in the air. The cannon''s firepower had not beenpletely extinguished, and the Ultimate Power Generation Center was still on high alert.


    The moment anything fishy happened, they couldmand the cannons to carry out destructive attacks at any time.


    "Alright, we''ll talk, but stay there and don''t get close to the." Wu Mo noticed that the alien spaceship was still trying to move forward, and he sneered coldly.


    If this alien spaceship entered their territory, who knew how disastrous the consequences would be?


    The two aliens with green hair looked at each other and smiled bitterly.


    Then, one of them said through themunication device, "Yous with low-level civilizations are really careful. We''re here to find our missing people."


    Missing people? Wu Mo immediately realized that they were thepanions of the previous green aliens. "Which are you from?" Although Wu Mo had already guessed the answer, he still questioned them on purpose.


    One of the green-haired aliens answered truthfully, "Wee from Dark Star, which is two light-years away."


    As expected, they were from Dark Star! However, Wu Mo did not immediately lure them in. He needed to find out what technology they were carrying first.


    The previous green aliens were currently imprisoned in the base''s sealed cell, and they could not move. However, they were not dead; they did not even suffer much injury.


    Wu Mo had discovered that the alien creatures recovered from injuries at a shocking speed. After they realized that they could notpete with this''s civilization, the aliens chose peace and stopped resisting.


    Wu Mo had collected samples from them many times to analyze their physiological structure and organ functions.


    He discovered that these creatures had the ability to heal at an elerated rate. If humans could replicate this ability, then no matter what kind of surface injury they suffered in the future, they would be able to recover instantly.


    It was just that research on the subject was halfway done, and theirpatriots from Dark Star had alreadye looking for them!


    With that, the two aliens in the spaceship introduced the basic technology of their spaceship in detail.

 Chapter 579 Destroying The Alien Spaceship, There Are Enemies

    After repeated probing, Wu Mo decided to withdraw his guards from the Ultimate Power Generation Center and the Heavenly Cannon before letting the aliens in.


    "What?! Chief Wu, are you really going to let the alien spaceship in? This is too dangerous!" a researcher tried to stop him in horror.


    Although the other researchers did not speak, the confusion in their eyes was clear.


    After all, this was a spaceship from another. No one knew what its intentions were.


    If it really caused devastating damage to the, who would be able to bear the responsibility?


    Mankind''s entire civilization might even view Wu Mo as the ultimate sinner!


    Wu Mo also felt immense pressure, but he had made up his mind, and no one could change it.


    At this moment, the alien spaceship from Dark Star left a deep mark in mankind''s history.


    It became the first extraterrestrial spaceship to publicly visit China. Besides, it hadnded in China''s territory before everyone''s watchful eyes.


    Nany members of theary Alliance saw everything unfold. They were so shocked that their eyes widened; they did not want to miss a single detail.


    "What a shocking scene! An alien spaceshipnding? Is this an illusion? Aren''t we watching a sci-fi movie?"


    Even though they had captured the aliens hidden in the pr regions, it was the alliance that had to go all out to make it possible. Now, a huge alien spaceship hadnded in public. It was a fact that no one could deny.


    "Who could be so reckless to bring this spaceship into our world? Did they not think about mankind''s safety?"


    For a time, much of the me was directed at China.


    However, China''s base chose to block these voices out. The people on the base leisurely watched as the huge spaceshipnded.


    Then, the spaceship''s hatch opened, and two green-haired aliens walked out.


    Right then, several machine guns were aimed at the two aliens, and the scene shocked them!


    They looked at the machine guns carefully and could not help butugh.


    "Haha, you low-level civilization creatures... The weapons in your hands are really interesting. Is there an explosiveponent in this steel rod?"


    "Steel rod?" Everyoneughed when they heard the alien''s description. These aliens seemed very rxed, and they were not worried about being hurt by humans at all.


    "Have a seat. Let''s have a good talk." The people cleared a space for them, and Wu Mo sat down with a few top scientists. They were surrounded by a group of high-level bodyguards.


    These bodyguards served the country''s leaders. They represented the peak of the''s martial arts, and each of them could easily take on ten people at one time. They were all proficient in firearms and could be considered sharpshooters.


    With that, the meeting began. Although everyone looked very calm, they were observing the two aliens carefully.


    This was the first time that humans hade into close contact with extraterrestrial life forms. It was of great historical significance to mankind.


    "We can sense ourpanions on your. Perhaps you can let them go?" one of the aliens spoke calmly.


    Their ability to learnnguages was clearly beyond human imagination. They had mastered a humannguage through a few simple conversations.


    Wu Mo replied in a deep and powerful voice, "They invaded our society without permission and created chaos as well as panic. This is an uneptable crime ording to ourws!"


    "Created panic?" The green-haired alien was confused. "How did ourpanions scare you?"


    Wu Mo then went on to describe in detail how one of the aliens had used the building''s disy screen to intimidate the public during a rainstorm.


    The two aliens fell silent. A momentter, the short alien stood up and bowed solemnly to apologize.


    "I assume this is your''s apology etiquette. I represent ourpanions in expressing our sincere apologies. Aspensation, I''m willing to provide you with advanced weapon technology."


    "Advanced weapon technology?" Interest shed across Wu Mo''s eyes.


    He wondered what kind of weapons these aliens usually utilized. Earlier, they had described human guns as steel rods, which made Wu Mo even more curious about their weapons.


    Wu Mo waved his hand, and someone immediately recorded the weapon design that the aliens provided.


    When he saw the design, he could not help but gasp. "This... What is this?"


    There was only a small ball on the blueprint. It was about the size of an orange, but it was covered in several dozen holes of different sizes.


    Each hole could easily fire bullets, and the firing device was like a hand te that clung to one''s palm. It only needed a thought tounch. This weapon was like a creation of science fiction.


    "This weapon is quite good. It''s a sufficient exchange for yourpanions." Wu Mo was in a good mood. Looking at the blueprint, he already knew how to design the weapon.


    Soon, he waved his hand, and a few aliens were escorted over.


    The two aliens heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that their extraterrestrialpanions were unharmed.


    One of the green-haired aliens smiled and said, "Fortunately, you didn''t harm them. Otherwise, our civilization might have started a war with you."


    "The Dark Star civilization is a Level 3 civilization, right? Why are you traveling through space? What''s your goal?"


    Wu Mo seized the opportunity to understand their situation.


    Meanwhile, the higher-ups of theary Alliance had learned of this meeting. Some important national leaders, including the old chief, had also been informed of the matter.


    Therefore, the entireary Alliance paid unprecedented attention to it and deployed arge number of troops for defense.


    Layers of defensive lines were set up around the entire area, and the visiting spaceship was closely monitored.


    The moment these aliens tried anything funny, China wouldunch arge-scale counterattack andpletely destroy them.


    The aliens naturally sensed the tense atmosphere, but they remained rxed and did not show any fear.


    "Our is already a Level 3 civilization. Unfortunately, about five light-years away from us, there is another with a Level 3 civilization. They are hostile toward us," one of the aliens slowly exined their origin.


    "The has maintained its Level 3 civilization for a very long time. Its people are trying to enter Level 2, which will allow them to truly enter four-dimensional space. Therefore, they are currently looking for technological means to break through the limitations of space."


    "Oh, breaking through spatial restrictions... That means, one will only be a true four-dimensional creature if one reaches Level 2?"


    Wu Mo understood more crucial information and secretly noted it down in his heart. Other people around them were alsotaking notes. This information was undoubtedly top secret in the entire universe.

 Chapter 580 Allies? Spying On The Technology Of Advanced Civilizations

    Few people could exin the concepts of four-dimensional space and three-dimensional space. The information they could obtain came from alien ounts.


    "Yes, they tried to control our''s civilization and use our civilization to conquer the surrounding gxies."


    As soon as the alien finished speaking, it revealed a helpless expression and shook its head gently.


    Their was also about to face danger. In the vast universe, the birth and death of life, the rise and fall of civilizations, all followed thew of the strong preying on the weak.


    In thepetition between Level 3 civilizations, the strong were like wolves while the weak were likembs.


    If they were not strong enough, they would likely be devoured by a stronger Level 3 civilization and be a stepping stone on their path to bing a Level 2 civilization.


    In thispetition, the most crucial thing was interster conquest.


    "So, when you came to our, did you find the technology to bypass spatial restrictions?" Wu Mo asked the key question.


    However, the alien shook his head and firmly said, "No, there is no such technology capable of interdimensional travel on your or in the entire gxy."


    Hearing this answer, Wu Mo nodded slightly. That was the answer he wanted to hear. If the Taal Neb truly had such technology, humans would be the most likely race to make a breakthrough in four-dimensional space travel.


    Then, the alien with green hair exined the main purpose of their visit. "We discovered that your''s civilization was about to reach Level 3. Therefore, we were hoping to borrow your strength to fight Fita together."


    Fita? Wu Mo was shocked. It was another with a civilization of its own. It was five light-years away from Dark Star and even further away from Earth.


    "Fita is about seven light-years away from you. Our threes are actually distributed in a triangle."


    Wu Mo immediately recorded the alien''s exnation and drew a simtion map, which clearly depicted the location of the threes in the universe.


    "Are you kidding me? Our human hasn''t even learned how to walk yet, and we''re already embroiled in a Level 3 civilization war. They''re obviously using us!"


    After the aliens left, Wu Mo, the old chief, and a group of military officers held an emergency meeting with theary Alliance.


    The atmosphere in the room was as dreary as a murkyke, and the authoritative figures, who were seated, had a cautious look in their eyes.


    When Wu Mo calmly revealed the purpose of the aliens'' visit, there was an uproar. Several generals from the military took the lead in expressing their disapproval.


    They firmly believed that the aliens were lying and that it was all a trap. Their only goal was to make humans work for them and be cannon fodder on the battlefield.


    They imagined that once humans went all out, they would send spaceships to the mysterious Fita and participate in this so-called "Civilization War."


    When that happened, the raging waves of destruction would instantly sweep over them.


    In their heads, mankind would only be Dark Star''s defensive line. Dark Star would then use this opportunity to fight back against Fita and turn defeat into victory.


    Most people epted this as fact. Even the heads of state fell into deep thought.


    Obviously, they did not think highly of Wu Mo''s idea.


    Only the old chief saw through Wu Mo''s true intentions.


    "Wu Mo, you don''t actually want to participate in the Civilization War. Your real goal is to obtain their technology, right?" The old chief''s words hit the nail in the coffin.


    ''The old chief is the only one who knows me.'' Wu Mo''s lips curled into a smile.


    He nodded and admitted, "That''s right. We will send no more than three spaceships, they''ll be on full autopilot mode. Even if we really be cannon fodder, our losses will be kept to a minimum. But more importantly, we''ll have the opportunity to learn more advanced alien technology."


    Hearing Wu Mo''s answer, everyone in the meeting room had new hope in their eyes. If it was truly as Wu Mo said, this n might be worth a try.


    "However, we''ve only sessfully made one spaceship fly faster than the speed of light, Chief Engineer Wu. Won''t it be difficult to make three?" an official asked with some doubt.


    Wu Mo shook his head and confidently said, "It won''t be a problem. Give me half a month."


    "Half a month? " The meeting room was filled with shock. Wu Mo understood the technical challenges of building a spaceship, and so did every other researcher there.


    To build a spaceship with antimatter propulsion was not only difficult but also almost impossible.


    The top scientific research teams from all over the world had spent nearly a month working day and night to sessfully develop it.


    Now, Wu Mo was iming that he could build three spaceships like that in just half a month. His words were firm, but everyone felt that his im would be nothing more than a dream. Others suspected Wu Mo of doing this for his reputation, hence he had to shoulder the almost impossible task. Such a move might bring irreversible danger to mankind.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, we need to discuss this further." A senior researcher walked up to Wu Mo steadily, his voice full of seriousness. This researcher was called Zheng Jun. He did not stand out on the research base, but he knew all the equipment and technology there like the back of his hand. He was even more proficient than Wu Mo in that sense.


    He was usually low-key and taciturn. Every time he opened his mouth, his words would be the result of careful consideration.


    Wu Mo nodded slightly and epted Zheng Jun''s request. He knew that such a discussion was necessary.


    Zheng Jun was apanied by a few researchers. They were Wu Mo''s right-hand men, so they knew every part of the n.


    "Chief Wu, if we participate in the war, will we draw the attention of an advanced civilization in the future?" Zheng Jun went straight to the point and addressed the main issue.


    His question forced everyone to face reality. Mankind could borrow Dark Star''s power to go on an expedition, and they would only lose three spaceships.


    However, once the war was over, would other civilizations track the origin of those three spaceships? If they found Earth, it would bring even more unpredictable consequences to human society.


    Wu Mo''s eyes glinted with a thoughtful light as he finally opened his mouth and said, "We can activate the camouge devices on the spaceships so that others can''t track their route and find our." His answer seemed simple but witty.


    Zheng Jun nodded thoughtfully but soon frowned." Chief Engineer Wu, if Dark Star has other unknown motives, then not only will we not be able to obtain their advanced technology, we might even attract disaster."


    This question actually revealed a deeper concern.


    Currently, Dark Star appeared to be friendly, and it even provided a blueprint for an advanced weaponry.


    However, all of this was because they were unable to fight against humans now.

 Chapter 581 A Bad Feeling, Heading To Dark Star

    If one day, a more advanced civilization came from Dark Star, how would mankind protect themselves?


    "Don''t worry about that. We can keep a few people as hostages." A civilization that had developed to such a high level like theirs should value the lives of theirpanions greatly." Wu Mo''s words revealed his deep consideration.


    From his point of view, advanced civilizations ced more importance on every member of their society. They would not be willing to sacrifice anyone and pay a heavy price.


    Thus, when he sent out the spaceships to participate in the war on the, he would naturally keep a few Dark Star people on Earth, just in case.


    In this discussion, Wu Mo''s answer revealed his wit and deliberation, which made the researchers present feel a little relieved.


    Their brows gradually rxed as they were rendered speechless by Wu Mo''s reply.


    They couldn''t find any loopholes in Wu Mo''s answer and could only ept it silently.


    However, deep in their hearts, they had a bad feeling. It was as if things were happening behind the scenes, which would lead to something big in the future.


    Despite that, they could not determine the source of this feeling, so they could only bury this uneasiness deep in their hearts.


    ''I hope everything goes smoothly,'' Zheng Jun prayed silently in his heart. The other researchers also had the same thoughts.


    Thus, Wu Mo and the extraterrestrial representatives from Dark Star clinked sses and discussed. They decided that in half a month, Dark Star would lead three human spaceships to an unknown ce two light-years away from Earth.


    To humans, this was an unprecedented voyage. However, in the eyes of the Dark Star people, this was just a visit to their neighbors in the gxy.


    Other than the Dark Star, there was also Fita, which was further away. Their existence was like a deep ck hole that hid the endless unknown.


    At this moment, Wu Mo''s biggest challenge was toplete the construction of three spaceships in half a month.


    Due to the confidentiality of the technology, he didn''t n to let these aliens witness the process of building the spaceships.


    He hid himself behind the system and began to ponder over the top-notch chip technology for the spaceships. This time, the production required a higher level of technology.


    Wu Mo had put in a lot of effort. With the poprity of the three great potions around the world, the points in the system had also reached a full state.


    Wu Mo was full of confidence. He even felt that in the near future, he might be able to use the mysterious dark matter.


    The equipment for dark matter production was one of the greatest items in the system, and Wu Mo was not in a hurry to touch that ceiling.


    Once he activated it, all the other production lines would have to stop, so he chose to move forward steadily.


    A few high-level chips appeared in Wu Mo''s hand.


    These tiny chips contained hundreds of billions of integrated circuits that could processplex information from all directions in an instant.


    Such a chip was the core of a spaceship.


    With it, Wu Mo dared to send spaceships to Dark Star.


    ''Such a top-notch chip should be able to adapt to that environment, right?'' Wu Mo guessed in his heart.


    ...


    Just like that, the day came, and the leaders of the various countries in theary Alliance gathered together.


    They personally witnessed the three spaceships follow Dark Star''s spaceships and charge into the vast sea of stars. They were going to participate in the legendary war.


    Mankind had already entered the gctic era.


    "Ugh, my old bones keep giving me a bad feeling. My eyelids are twitching violently as if something''s about to happen¡­"


    An old man rubbed his forehead, and his face full of worry.


    "Pfft, stop spouting nonsense. This is a major moment for mankind. A new era is about to begin, how can you spout nonsense?" Another leader widened his eyes in displeasure.


    "I think your worries are groundless. This era seems like an unbelievable dream. In just a short year, such earth-shattering changes have urred. Your heart can''t take it anymore."


    The tone of a third leader carried a hint of anticipation and worry.


    One after another, the leaders of the countries whispered to each other.


    Their faces were filled with indescribable emotions.


    All these changes happened so fast that they felt like a dream. The rapid development made people feel like they were riding a rocket.


    China had been the first to announce the development of a controble nuclear fusion reactor.


    It was as if human civilization had taken a big step forward.


    Then, other countries followed in the footsteps of China, and the world underwent earth-shaking changes.


    Just a year ago, people were still saving electricity and drinking water due to the shortage of human resources. Those were real problems.


    Now, those problems were almost non-existent.


    In today''s human society, there was no such thing as energy conservation anymore because the energy source had already be infinite. There was no loss or pollution, so why should they save it?


    In the past, conservation was mainly to prevent pollution and due to high production costs and energy shortage.


    Now, however, these problems did not exist. People could enjoy life without any worries.


    The "waste" here was not a bad habit because it would only be considered "waste" if people could not bear to lose it.


    Now that people had sufficient energy, they couldpletely enjoy this "wastage."


    When China sessfully found the solution and began mass production, the''s civilization rose to another level.


    All the countries in the world felt that the human race was developing too fast.


    No one knew if this rapid development could continue.


    However, looking back carefully, every key breakthrough had been led by China. Even the decision to use the spaceship to enter the Taal Neb and explore outer space had seemingly been proposed by China.


    All of this could not be separated from Chief Engineer Wu''s wise guidance!


    At this moment, the leaders of the various countries participating in theary Alliance looked up into the distance.


    A few tiny figures on the hugeunchpad caught their eyes.


    These were all extraterrestrial lifeforms from Dark Star. They bid farewell to the humans and stepped into the spaceship sent by Dark Star.


    Of course, they didn''t all leave. A few of theirpanions were left behind on this. This was also an agreement that both sides had reached long ago.


    After that, Wu Mo skillfully operated the three spaceships and prepared for a concurrent takeoff.


    It was a magnificent scene that transcended the era. Humanity would finally reveal its existence to the universe!


    In the context of the war, these three spaceships might seem insignificant.


    After all, the famous director, George Lucas, had already allowed viewers to experience the tragic and thrilling Star Wars in his movies.


    These three spaceships were probably just cannon fodder.


    However, no matter what, this was humanity''s first step into space. Perhaps it would be a springboard to lead the entire to shine in the universe.


    As the leader of scientific research on this, Wu Mo felt a little excited because he knew that there was a live broadcast of this event across the globe!


    The three spaceships were about to take off, but what the people did not know was that they would follow the people of Dark Star into space.


    People only knew that one of the four spaceships was different from the other three.


    However, they did not know the exact situation.

 Chapter 582 Attacked, Planet Fitas Cruise Ship

    Wu Mo''s parents were staring at the television screen at home.


    Meanwhile, Shen Qingya was watching the live broadcast on her phone in her dormitory. When the camera turned to Wu Mo, she could not help but smile happily.


    Wu Mo''s friends and distant rtives were all watching this moment with rapt attention. They were incredibly shocked by the three spaceships before them.


    The spaceships'' mighty form and majestic aura made people hold their breaths. They could not look away or blink.


    Finally, the appointed time for theunch came. The three spaceships slowly raised their heads and charged into the sky with great momentum.


    They traveled faster and faster as time passed. Once they activated the antimatter power conversion, their speed increased in a straight line on the chart. In an instant, they approached the speed of sound!


    "Oh, the humans are quite capable. In just half a month, they managed to create such a thing. Their manufacturing speed seems no less slower than ours, right?"


    An alien with green hair was secretly amazed in the spaceship behind. The aliens were shocked by the powerful humans on this!


    Even though the spaceship technology that Wu Mo pioneered was not perfect in some aspects, he still managed to create such vessels in just half a month.


    His efficiency in research and methods of execution were enough to shock the aliens from Dark Star.


    At this moment, Wu Mo immediately ordered themand center to monitor the movements of the three spaceships.


    During the predicted war, all of the spaceships'' movements would be disyed on a huge central control screen in themand center. Then, they would analyze the data and run simtions to form a picture.


    Wu Mo quickly returned to themand center and stared nervously at the screen with a group of top researchers.


    The three spaceships gradually disappeared into the distance like three fish, and the alien spaceship from Dark Star upied the two grid areas behind them.


    It maintained a constant speed, obviously not in a hurry to catch up!


    Two grids represented a distance of a hundred thousand kilometers. Dark Star''s spaceships could easily catch up to them.


    "They''re moving faster and faster!" a researcher could not help but exim.


    There was no doubt that these three spaceships were not inferior to the one that had passed through the Taal Neb!


    "Chief Engineer Wu, how are the four astronauts doing? I''ve always worried about them," anotherresearcher could not help but ask.


    Wu Mo revealed aforting smile and nodded.


    "Don''t worry, we''ve been monitoring their every move. They have nowhere to run."


    Right then, a smaller screen showed that one of the spaceships had passed through the Taal Neb for the first time.


    The four astronauts seemed unusually calm.


    They did not appear to be disturbed by any external interference. Instead, they observed everything around them with cool heads.


    To them, these scenes were filled with mystery and novelty.


    The vast universe went on forever, and it was impossible to see where it ended.


    At this moment, the power of the ship was sufficient. It could even make a return trip a yearter without any problems!


    The biggest challenge was to ensure that the crew had enough food supply.


    However, there was a solution to this problem. The spaceship carried arge amount ofpressed food, whichcould provide nutrients for the astronauts for a long time.


    Furthermore, there was also a nutrient solution that could be injected into their bodies, although it did not taste good.


    With that said, they could still ignore it and survive.


    Just then, the main screen showed that the three spaceships had already left the Taal Neb with Dark Star''s spaceship.


    "Look, they''ve broken through the gxy''s barrier. Now, three spaceships have done it sessfully!"


    The researchers were all excited as China continued to break records. Everything was developing too quickly!


    Soon, the alien spaceship from Dark Star finally disyed the astonishing power of its advanced civilization.


    The spaceship''s speed increased to a terrifying degree in an instant. It surpassed the speed of sound, then approached the speed of light, and eventually surpassed the speed of light.


    It transformed into light particles and quickly surpassed the three Chinese spaceships.


    ''That''s not only faster than the speed of light. That''s probably two times faster, right?'' Wu Mo silently pondered in his heart.


    However, the three spaceships'' advanced satellites were already simting the speed of the alien spaceship from Dark Star.


    Its speed was indeed close to twice the speed of light. It formed a sharp line on the chart and was about to break through the edge of the screen.


    "Speed up immediately!" Wu Mo ordered decisively.


    Through the ultra-long-range remote control sensing technology, the antimatter propulsion capabilities of the three spaceships were pushed to the limit.


    Whoosh!


    The speed of the three spaceships also reached their peak. They began to stabilize at about one time the speed of light.


    However, their speed was still slightly inferior to that of the Dark Star spaceship.


    "Oh, how interesting. A civilized of this level actually built aircrafts that can exceed the speed of light. This will have an exciting future!" agreen-haired alienughed.


    "Oh, it''s interesting that you''ve also learned their expressions so quickly."


    "Haha, that''s a must. Theirnguage system is incredibly interesting, especially in the country called China. Theirnguage and culture are profound, so I find it a lot of fun to study them!"


    "Forget it, forget it. I won''t have such a troublesome hobby like yours. It''s better for me to keep looking for ways to deal with that annoying, Fita!"


    At this moment, the spaceship that was operated by a few green-haired aliens suddenly made a sharp turn. The three spaceships behind it almost failed to keep up.


    "D*mn! What the hell is happening?" a researcher suddenlyined and widened his eyes.


    "Oh, my God! What is this?


    He looked at the screen in disbelief. The alien spaceship had made a big turn because an asteroid was flying in its direction!


    In the universe,s were endless like grains of sand on the beach. But strictly speaking, this asteroid was part of a broken star.


    It was a huge rock that had shattered on another. Pull by the stars, it drifted across the boundless universe.


    Like a homeless wanderer, it crashed into everything that blocked his path indiscriminately.


    The spaceship from Dark Star had almost been hit by this ownerless meteor.


    Fortunately, it made a big turn at thest moment and nimbly avoided the broken star. However, the problem fell on the three human spaceships.


    "Dive immediately!" Wu Mo ordered.


    The three spaceships dived instantly in an attempt to avoid the asteroid.


    However, despite Wu Mo''s timely reaction, the tail of one of the spaceships was still hit by the asteroid. As a result, arge piece of synthetic material was sent flying.


    Even so, the spaceship was not affected too much and was still able to operate normally.


    Despite that, the collision had undoubtedly increased its energy consumption. Since the spaceship lost its bnce, the energy system needed more power to maintain its stability.


    "Thank goodness. If one of the spaceships had been destroyed, the other two might have been affected by the shock wave. That would''ve caused immeasurable damage."


    Wu Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

 Chapter 583 Interstellar War, Dont Pursue The Enemy

    It would be a joke if he encountered such trouble as soon as his spaceships flew into space. The whole world wouldugh at him.


    "Oh, that''s not a bad reaction time. Not as fast as our big turn but still quite brilliant."


    The green-haired aliens were shocked, and they silently acknowledged the capabilities of the three spaceships.


    Not long after, they increased their speed again and followed the aliens'' spaceship to another dark area.


    This was an uninhabited area in the universe. Apart from advanced civilizations, no one else could set foot there.


    At this moment, Dark Star''s spaceship suddenly slowed down.


    Its speed dropped from superluminal to maximumnd speed.


    "What''s going on? Why did it suddenly slow down?"


    Wu Mo was surprised, and he immediately ordered the three spaceships to slow down.


    Otherwise, a rear-end ident at that altitude would turn into a terrifying tragedy.


    At this critical moment, themunication device inside the alien spaceship buzzed and transmitted some news to China''smand center.


    "Humans, please pay attention! We''ve entered Fita''s territory. Our detector has captured a cruising spaceship close by¡­"


    "So, this is Fita''s domain? It looks like a great battle is imminent!"


    Wu Mo nodded calmly, and his eyes were fixed on the screen before him. He had to follow the movements of the three spaceships and catch every data fluctuation because it was a matter of life and death.


    Frowning slightly, Wu Mo suddenly discovered a shocking fact. The spaceship that had traveled through the Taal Neb first began to slowly move in Fita''s direction after it circumnavigated a wide area.


    Even though it was quite far away, the trend of its movements made the researchers wary.


    "How is this possible? It''s not identally trespassing on Fita''s territory, is it? If an interster war broke out, wouldn''t it get caught in the fray?" Many researchers found it unbelievable.


    It was as if a magical force in the universe was controlling the spaceship and leading it in Fita''s direction.


    Otherwise, how could it end up traveling in this direction if it had simply been advancing in a straight line?


    Wu Mo could not change anything at this point. He could only monitor the movements of the three spaceships.


    They had arrived in Fita''s domain, so they needed to be prepared.


    This spaceship from Dark Star decided to adopt a safe strategy by flying slowly in the periphery. They were waiting for their people toe and receive them.


    Fita''s domain was indestructible like an iron bucket. Any intruding spaceship could be attacked!


    All of a sudden, ck light appeared in the vacuum of the universe.


    In an instant, the light streaked across the starry sky, and its speed was breathtaking.


    Despite being in the vast universe, the fast-moving light could still be captured by the naked eye.


    However, space was like a highway with no speed limit. Even if the light traveled faster, there would be no noticeable change.


    Since the surroundings were open and calm, there was no reference point to measure the difference in speed.


    This principle was applicable to the starry sky, where the vastness of the universe was more boundless than any highway.


    Therefore, no matter how fast it was, it could not instantly disappear from view.


    Everyone caught sight of the ck ray''s trajectory as it charged straight toward the Dark Star spaceship ahead.


    Dark Star''s spaceship immediately disyed its astonishing high technology. It fell backward in a way that was reminiscent of a human rolling back. It rolled continuously for a few rounds and sessfully blocked the particles that exploded around the ray.


    "Is this an attack from Fita? The interster war has begun!" A researcher could not help but sigh.


    It was a critical moment, and Wu Mo, as well as the other researchers, did not notice that the leaders of some countries had arrived behind them. They were watching the scene nervously.


    Although they were not professional enough, they could tell from the screen that something serious had happened. They had likely encountered an unfriendly alien civilization.


    Suddenly, everyone saw a huge object slowly fly out of the dark starry sky and enter their field of vision.


    "Heavens! What is that?!" one of the leaders eximed.


    Even a rational and calm person like him could not help but reveal a shocked expression. One could only imagine what he saw.


    Right then, the ck ray slowly revealed its true form. It turned out to be a huge spaceship.


    Rows upon rows of cannon-like devices were densely packed on this huge ship, and it made others shudder in fear. Wu Mo was a tough guy, but even his expression changed drastically when he saw this.


    ''D*mn it, what''s going on?'' Wu Mo cursed in his heart. He never thought that arge ship would appear before everyone in such a shocking manner.


    His three spaceships and Dark Star''s vessel were facing an unprecedented challenge!


    "Retreat at full speed! Retreat at full speed! Do not engage!" the green-haired alien who could speak the humans''nguagemanded.


    The Dark Star people knew how powerful Fita''s spaceship was. They immediately evaded it and traveled at superluminal speed to leave its shooting range.


    However, the three human spaceships were not so lucky. "Hurry up and dodge!" Wu Mo instructed.


    While they were remotely controlled, the three spaceships quickly elerated until they surpassed the speed of light. They were also attempting to escape the enemy''s shooting range.


    However, the huge ck spaceship abruptly opened fire.


    A row of cannons wereunched at the same time. The resulting rays were like terrifying heavenly pirs that pierced through the entire universe.


    In an instant, one of the human spaceships turned into a zing fireball.


    The fragments of the spaceship flew everywhere and fell into the deep universe.


    Seeing this, everyone on the base fell deathly silent. Even Wu Mo was speechless for a long time.


    Just like that, a spaceship that he had poured so much effort into was destroyed in space.


    Fortunately, the other two spaceships sessfully left the enemy''s shooting range and left with the Dark Star spaceship.


    The three spaceships quickly built some distance before they turned around and faced the huge ck shadow that was slowly approaching.


    The beginning of the interster war was so tragic that everyone was shaken. At this moment, Wu Mo began to regret his decision to participate in the war.


    Meanwhile, the Dark Star spaceship was finally prepared tounch a counterattack.


    Even though Dark Star was a Level 3 civilization, it was no different from Fita.


    However, Fita had been at the same level for a long time and had the potential to be a Level 2 civilization.


    Nevertheless, this did not deprive Dark Star of the right to counterattack. Therefore, rge cannon instantly extended from Dark Star''s spaceship. It gathered a ball of ck energy and shot it forward.


    Rumble... Right then, Dark Star''s power erupted at full force, and it collided ruthlessly with the enormous object in front of it.


    Due to its size, Fita''s spaceship was unable to dodge. As such, it was sent flying hundreds of meters to the side.


    At this moment, cheers rose and fell as if a shot of adrenaline had been injected into the human race.

 Chapter 584 Ambush, Surrounded

    "Good job! That attack was beautifully executed!"


    At this critical moment, the two Chinese spaceships followed closely behind and opened fire.


    Rumble¡­ Seeing the Chinese spaceships open fire, one of the leaders in theary Alliance was filled with anticipation.


    His eyes almost popped out as he stared at the screen without blinking.


    At this moment, everyone was looking forward to the scene of humans firing at an advanced civilization in the universe.


    Right then, although the spaceships belonged to China, the entire human race saw them as their own.


    All the leaders of theary Alliance were proud of it.


    Finally, two rays of light shot into the ship''s interior.


    However, the huge spaceship did not move at all. It only emitted a sizzling sound.


    One could see that China''s spaceships had extremely limited destructive power.


    "Sigh, what a pity! We didn''t manage to destroy the spaceship!" an official could not help but sigh.


    However, the others wanted tough out loud. Did they not see that even Dark Star''s spaceship could not destroy it?


    How could a human spaceship destroy it then?


    This ship was a product of Fita''s civilization, which was about to reach Level 2.


    It was clearly enraged by the three spaceships'' continuous attacks.


    The doors of the huge ship slowly opened, and smaller ships flew out one after another.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Over ten small spaceships flew out in session and swiftly charged over.


    "Heavens, it''s housing so many spaceships! No wonder it''s so huge!" a concerned researcher said with a pale face.


    At this moment, all his worries did not matter. Wu Mo knew that he had to fly the two spaceships away, so he quickly increased the speed of their retreat.


    They hadpletely lost their advantage in the battle, and China''s spaceships would likely be destroyed.


    Dark Star''s spaceship swiftly retreated as well, and it led the other two spaceships away at superluminal speed.


    The speed of Dark Star''s spaceship reached twice the speed of light.


    However, China''s spaceships could not catch up, and the distance between them grewrger andrger.


    The ten spaceships were right behind them when the situation abruptly changed!


    "Look, what''s that?" All of a sudden, a researcher pointed at the screen and screamed as if he had seen something terrifying.


    A row of light spots appeared from another angle. Like a sharp sword, they ruthlessly cut through the escape route!


    The light spots were ten new spaceships. The instant they appeared, Dark Star''s ship immediately went around them. The whole fleet then killed their way to the back of Fita''s huge spaceship.


    "What are those guys doing?" One of the country''s officials could not understand what was going on, and he cursed helplessly.


    However, his words came to an abrupt halt, and everyone cried out in surprise.


    Even Wu Mo could not help but smile. "The Dark Star people are smart. Their intelligence is not inferior to that of the Fita people!"


    That''s right, the scene before them had clearly been a trap carefully designed by the Dark Star people.


    The Dark Star aliens had deliberately flown around them and pretended to escape. In reality, they were approaching the enemy from behind.


    Theirpatriots had already rushed over to rescue them on the battlefield.


    Now, more than twenty spaceships were embroiled in a fierce battle!


    They were all as fast as lightning. Like a group of insects in a frenzy, they tore through space and charged at the enemy.


    At the same time, their cannons fired terrifying cosmic rays.


    China''s two spaceships were like bystanders at this moment. They just floated in the periphery as they witnessed the cosmic battle.


    It was not that they were afraid, but an intense battle of this level had already exceeded the scope of their abilities.


    Terrifying rays were everywhere, and if any of them touched their bodies, they would instantly disintegrate and explode into pieces.


    The difference in strength could no longer be concealed.


    Although China''s spaceships could travel far, theirbat power was far from enough.


    ''We have to find a way to raise our attack power to a new level!'' Wu Mo thought anxiously.


    If they wanted to increase the spaceships'' power, they had to possess enough antimatter and try to collect dark matter.


    They could only threaten advanced civilizations by using dark matter to increase their offensive power.


    The fierce battle before them continued for a long time, but there was still no winner.


    However, from time to time, spaceships would be hit by the rays and instantly explode. Fita''s huge spaceship was heavy and huge, like an aircraft carrier from Earth.


    It slowly turned around and attempted to chase away Dark Star''s spaceship.


    However, Dark Star''s spaceship was extremely agile. It constantly flew around Fita''s ship and shot out rays of light.


    Boom! Boom! Boom! Eventually, the Fita''s spaceship was covered in holes. It chose to retreat and head toward the dark starry sky.


    "We won! We won the battle!"


    Seeing this scene, one of the officials could not help but wave his fists.


    Even though China''s spaceships were not the main force in the battle, they were still on the victorious side. This was an indisputable fact.


    In the end, all the spaceships from Fita retreated. Dark Star''s main force had obtained an overwhelming victory. They brought the Chinese spaceships with them and pursued Fita''s fleet.


    "Wait! They''re still going after them?" someone eximed. "You don''t chase a cornered enemy. Don''t they understand this principle?"


    The humans'' first victory did note by easily, and they should cherish their hard-won victory.


    Everyone understood that it was not wise to pursue a cornered enemy, but the Dark Star people did not seem to realize this.


    Perhaps in Dark Star''s culture, one should pursue their enemies to the ends of the universe and kill them. If they cut off the weeds and eliminated the roots, they could kill their enemies before they multiplied.


    Their tactics were not asplicated and thought out as that of China.


    Thus, at this moment, Dark Star''s dozen or so spaceships continued to charge toward Fita''s domain.


    Meanwhile, the two Chinese spaceships were on standby and did not follow them into the dark space.


    Just then, all of Fita''s spaceships appeared out of nowhere.


    They formed a huge circle and surrounded the Dark Star fleetpletely.


    "D*mn it! I told them not to pursue the enemy. Why didn''t they listen?" one of the officials could not help but curse.


    His temper was already fiery, and right now, he was even more furious than ever. They had already obtained a great victory, and the situation was good. However, Dark Star was determined to kill them all.


    Now, they ended up being surrounded. However, what happened next surprised everyone.


    Amongst the spaceships that tried to surround Dark Star''s fleet, thergest one suddenly changed direction and charged out.


    Rumble! Then, the spaceship exploded on its own, and small flying objects appeared from inside the spaceship.


    "Look over there! It''s some kind of new space technology!" someone eximed.


    Everyone''s eyes widened as they stared at the screen. They wanted to see what was happening.


    The object in front of them resembled a long, pitch-ck machine gun.


    However, unlike a machine gun, it did not have aunch system, and it could freely travel in the vacuum of the universe.


    This gun had a very strange structure. There were two long tubes at the end of the gun that could automatically receive any form of signal.


    It looked more like a miniature spaceship than a simple firearm.

 Chapter 585 Invitation From Dark Star, Development Of Ultimate Recovery Potion

    In the next moment, spears rushed forward like ferocious tigers. Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    The way they moved was so mysterious that it did not make any sense from a mechanical perspective. People were dumbfounded as they made all kinds of bizarre twists and turns.


    One of the spears pierced into a spaceship from Fita at an astonishing speed.


    The spaceship was almost split in half as a result of that one attack! Then, the spear self-destructed.


    Boom! The damage caused by the explosion was extremely terrifying. It triggered a chain reaction and instantly detonated the spaceship beside it.


    Thergest spaceship came from Meiji, but it was already toote for it.


    Wu Mo smiled before the screen.


    He knew that this was a disy of Dark Star''s intelligence. Their intelligence had reached an astonishing level.


    They might have already surpassed Fita, but they were still updating their technology.


    The scene before his eyes gave him a premonition about the Taal Neb''s future: It might one day be controlled by Dark Star.


    Was it a blessing or a curse for humans to have such powerful neighbors?


    "They invited us to participate in the Civilization War, it looks like a recreational activity to them. With their strength, they don''t need our help at all," Wu Mo said thoughtfully.


    Hearing Wu Mo''s words, one of the officials was puzzled.


    "Chief Wu, why would Dark Star do this?" he asked. "Are they just ying with us?"


    The whole thing seemed to reveal Dark Star''s strategic intentions. At this moment, humanity''s greatest enemy was right in front of them.


    "Let''s wait and see. If Dark Star can really fight against Fita alone, it will prove that there is an unfathomable gap even between Level 3 civilizations. It''s still possible for us to defeat a advanced civilization."


    Wu Mo came to this conclusion and decided to observe for a while longer. The battle situation was still uncertain.


    Meanwhile, Wu Mo shifted his attention to his three great potions.


    He realized that their poprity was as high as it could be.


    He could also upgrade his system and bring about more inventions that were previously unknown!


    Currently, almost everyone had started using Life First, Life Second, and even the Biological Regeneration Agent in their daily lives. Some people had stopped using the potions because their bodies were in peak condition. Hence, they no longer needed the potions'' help.


    Ultimately, these potions brought them new life. They treasured their vitality and were not willing to waste it.


    He remembered how the quick purchasing agents from before used to frantically snatch the potions up. However, their numbers quickly dwindled under Wu Mo''s tight operation.


    Wu Mo first raised the prices to let the rich fight over the potions. Then, when they felt like they had control of the market, he lowered the price immensely and crashed the market.


    All the rich individuals who had bought the potions were dumbfounded by this strategy. It was also a huge surprise to the ordinary folk!


    As the production of the potions gradually caught up with the demand, their prices went even lower to the point that people''s hair stood on end.


    A Biological Regeneration Agent that could regrow a disabled person''s arm only cost a thousand yuan. It was simply crazy.


    No one in the world had expected the final oue to turn out like that.


    Wu Mo had brought glory to China by introducing these potions into everyone''s lives.


    At the same time, Wu Mo discovered something else in the system store that was about to be updated. There was actually an upgraded version of the Biological Regeneration Agent!


    "Hmm, this reminds me of the Dark Star people''s heaven-defying healing factor. If this potion truly has such an effect, won''t it be a great opportunity for human evolution?"


    Wu Mo studied the potion''s description carefully. It could be smeared on the body''s surface and absorbed through the meridians. As a result, the skin and organs would undergo subtle changes.


    This change would not be apparent on the outside. Humans would still be humans, not monsters or aliens.


    However, this potion would show its effect when a person was injured.


    If the person''s skin was damaged, it would heal instantly. If his body was injured, he would recover much faster as long as his bones were not broken.


    Even a fracture would recover much faster than before.


    Such a recovery rate would allow the human race as a whole to advance to a higher level, and the burden on hospitals would be greatly reduced.


    ''Excellent. This is such a great invention. Even though its effects are not immediate, its benefits are iparable. It will be of great help to us!'' Wu Mo pondered in his heart.


    ''Just imagine, when every human has such a potion, our physiques will be simr to that of the aliens. When the physiques of all humans are changed, won''t our civilization also leap to a new level?''


    As everyone knew, two conditions needed to be met to advance a civilization: One was the evolution of the biologicalmunity itself, and the other was the degree of technological development.


    In terms of technology, they had mastered dark matter and controble nuclear fusion reactors. They were gradually moving toward a Level 3 civilization.


    The only downside was that their spaceships'' firepower was greatly reduced duringbat. This would require further research and development of dark matter to resolve.


    Therefore, even though they had some technology of a Level 3 civilization, they could not be sure if they had already be a Level 3 civilization.


    However, if their physiques all underwent a drastic change, they might just enter the threshold of a Level 3 civilization.


    "Let''s see the price of this potion first."


    Wu Mo checked the price tag and found that the item named "Ultimate Restoration Potion" was extremely expensive.


    It would be the same price as the Biological Regeneration Agent at first, but it would be more affordableter on.


    Wu Mo''s current strength was sufficient, so he was not worried about not being able to produce this potion.


    "Ultimate Recovery Potion¡­" Wu Mo muttered the name softly. A smile the shape of a crescent moon appeared on his face. It was difficult for others to fathom his thoughts at the moment.


    The others present did not understand why Wu Mo would suddenly reveal such a mysterious smile.


    Their eyes were all fixed on the screen. They wanted to see if Dark Star could defeat Fita''s people.


    Before this, people generally thought of Fita as some kind of great demon king.


    Dark Star was like a little white rabbit, while the entire human was treated as cannon fodder.


    Now, the little white rabbit had instantly transformed into a demon king, and the originally frightening Fita seemed ordinary.


    Fita''s spaceships fell into the trap again, and they were hit by Dark Star. In the end, only a few of them escaped into the dark realm.


    "How did this happen?" A hint of confusion shed across an astrologer''s eyes.


    "If a glowing is actually situated there, why is it that we can''t see any light even though we''re so close to it?"


    He suddenly stood up, and his pupils reflected the depths of the starry sky. The images that the two spaceships sent back showed that Fita was shining in the night sky right there.


    This undoubtedly meant that it gave off a dazzling light.


    However, now that it was so close, the light seemed to have been devoured. The radiance from the had disappeared without a trace.

 Chapter 586 A Vague Conspiracy

    It was as if a ck hole had swallowed all the light, and it seemed impossible for anyone to figure out this mystery.


    Even Wu Mo, the most famous genius in the field of scientific research, frowned after he heard the analysis.


    He was not an expert in astronomy, but he understood how unfathomable the vast universe, endless celestial bodies, and various astronomical phenomena were. No one couldpletely observe them.


    Wu Mo pondered for a moment before he softly spected, "Perhaps, the surface of the is covered in a thick atmosphere. Maybe, at certain times, we can''t see the through the atmosphere, so we can''t see the light that it reflects either?"


    It might not be a perfect exnation, but at this stage, it was the most reasonable guess. Even the astrologer could not find a better answer.


    It could be said that they had achieved initial victory in this battle, but none of the spaceships dared to go any deeper. If they took another step forward, they would directly threaten Fita''s civilization.


    This''s civilization was about to reach Level 2. If it were to use an even more powerful force, Dark Star might not be able to withstand it.


    Dark Star''s spaceship suddenly changed course and sped off into the distance.


    Meanwhile, China''s two spaceships floated quietly in the air. They looked like two pearls in the dark universe.


    Wu Mo gave the order for the two spaceships to follow the Dark Star spaceship!


    The energy of antimatter was so powerful that even after a round of intense battle, the energy consumed was only one-tenth.


    In the distant starry sky, the spaceship followed those mysterious voyagers.


    After flying for a long time, they finally saw the outline of a in front of them. It was almost identical to the human.


    ording to his initial spection, the size of the was simr. After prating the thick atmosphere, all the spaceships gradually descended.


    At this moment, through the perspective of the two spaceships, what was disyed in front of everyone was a scene that looked like a science fiction world.


    "Heavens, this is Dark Star?" someone cried out in shock. Everyone who witnessed this scene could not suppress the shock in their hearts.


    On the in front of him, there were many tall buildings, and none of them were short.


    In the sky, many spaceships were flying at low altitudes, like fish swimming in the water.


    There were no means of transportation on the ground. Instead, there were castle-like buildings, but of course, this was not an ordinary castle.


    These castles not only provided an extremelyfortable living environment.


    There was also a super intelligent living system here, as well as a convenient function that couldmunicate with all the surrounding castles with one click.


    Between the castles, the green belt was like a green ribbon, providing a steady stream of oxygen.


    China immediately spected that during the initial stages of Dark Star''s evolution, they might have relied on oxygen to survive, just like humans.


    The skyscrapers on this were all more than a hundred stories tall.


    The interior of the building was not an elevator, but a kind of teleportation device that could arrive in an instant. It wasplicated and extremely efficient.


    Through the information sent by the spaceship, the people were amazed by Dark Star''s civilization.


    "Hurry up and record everything!" someone immediately urged. The researchers beside him hurriedly recorded this information.


    Even Wu Mo could not help but carefully observe the situation on the screen.


    He finally admitted that Dark Star''s civilization had indeed reached Level 3.


    The distance between their civilization and Dark Star''s was like the distance between heaven and earth. The challenges ahead seemed to be extremely arduous.


    These hundred-story buildings that towered into the clouds were like silent mockery,pletely suppressing the human world under their feet.


    If the human world were to build such buildings, it would definitely bring endless trouble.


    Everything about Dark Star was worth learning from humanity, even though they were currently unable to touch upon their core technology.


    However, recording this external form and system might have immeasurable value for the future.


    At this moment, people were shocked by Dark Star''s rapid development.


    On the screen, he suddenly saw the door of the huge castle of Dark Star open. A few figures walked into the void as if they were stepping out into nothingness.


    "This... What is this? Are there immortals on Dark Star? How is this possible?!" Aresearcher''s eyes widened as he screamed in disbelief.


    He was a firm atheist and did not believe in the existence of extraordinary beings.


    However, the scene before him seemed to be challenging his beliefs.


    The Dark Star people were able to walk in the void. If they were not immortals, then what were they?


    "No, there can''t be immortals. This is just the manifestation of an advanced civilization. It''s the power of technology, not a supernatural phenomenon!" another atheist refuted. He was firm in his beliefs.


    No matter how fantastical the scene in front of him was, he was confident that there were no immortals in the world.


    Wu Mo''s eyes were sharper. He saw that the shoes under the feet of the Dark Star people were especially heavy.


    Obviously, there was some kind of flying device hidden in the soles of their shoes, which could generate propulsion through the rapid eruption of air currents and walk in the void.


    ''This device is not bad, but the cost of using it in our environment is too high, and it''s not suitable,'' Wu Mo thought to himself.


    In the human world, the poption density was high, the traffic was heavy, and the buildings in the cities were closely connected.


    If someone dared to use such a flying device, it would be very awkward for them tond.


    Moreover, walking in the air would probably attract the disgust of others.


    Wu Mo could not help but sigh. Advanced technology often evolved little by little along with advanced civilizations.


    Using advanced technology with immature humanity was no different from asking for trouble.


    These green-haired Dark Star people circled the Chinese ship and carefully observed it. Then, their gazes seemed to prate the screen and directly met the eyes of the Chinese observers.


    They urately captured the camera pointed at them and began to use thenguage system to talk to the people on the other side of the screen.


    "Friendly race from a distant, we have already repelled Fita''s fleet, but they will never stop. Therefore, I beg you to stay."


    Hearing the hoarse electronic voice, Wu Mo and the other researchers frowned.


    With Dark Star''s battle prowess, they should not need the help of humans.


    Yet, why did they still ask the Chinese spaceships to stay after they won?


    "If we sessfully eliminate the threat of Fita, we will help you upgrade your home to a Level 3 civilization in return."


    A Dark Star alien stretched out his hand and pointed at the scenery behind him.


    "Do you see? This world is your future. Thefortable life and wonderful atmosphere brought by the technology here are beyond your imagination."


    Every word it said was filled with temptation, and everyone on the screen looked forward to it.


    "Good! Chief Wu, quickly agree to them. We only need to stay for a while longer and we will be able to possess such technology!" aviewer said excitedly.


    However, Wu Mo''s eyes narrowed slightly. He keenly sensed that something was wrong.


    These people from Dark Star definitely had other motives. This could all be a huge conspiracy. Who was the aggressor and who was the victim?

 Chapter 587 Saving The Day, No Need To Watch The New Potion

    Were the Dark Star people trying to counterattack Fita to upgrade their own civilization?


    In this battle, Fita might be the victim, and the humans might be Dark Star''s aplice.


    However, Wu Mo knew that the current situation was notpletely clear and required more observation.


    After all, if this invasion was sessful, humans would also receive a huge improvement in technology.


    With this in mind, no one cared who the victim was.


    In the vast universe, countlesss nurtured civilizations, and they would eventually fall into conflict with each other.


    In this battle, humans were not the key yers. They were just bystanders who took the opportunity to gain advanced technology.


    Thus, Wu Mo did not feel guilty. After the temporary truce, the two Chinese spaceships would restock on Ink.


    On the other hand, a slightly smaller screen was recording the first spaceship to leave the Taal Neb.


    The expressions of the four astronauts in the spacecraft changed slightly because the real-time data showed that they were flying toward a huge, Fita.


    "Impossible! They''re actually flying toward Fita. If they encounter the aliens, won''t they be finished?"


    Some researchers realized that something was wrong and hurriedly tried to contact the four astronauts.


    After getting in touch, the base immediately informed the astronauts of their current predicament.


    The four astronauts were shocked. They did not expect this to happen.


    "No wonder I feel like we''ve been moving in the same spot," one of the astronauts muttered. "Even though there''s no reference in the sky, this feeling is very strong. It''s true."


    They had to think of a way to get the spaceship out of this mysterious gravitational pull. Such unprecedented astronomical phenomenon might be worthy of in-depth study by scientists.


    "How about this, activate the side propulsion, then connect to the antimatter propulsion system and turn it to the maximum!" Wu Mo quicklymanded the four astronauts.


    Then, the side propulsion was activated, and the antimatter power was connected to instantly obtain a huge horizontal thrust.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! The flying ship instantly shifted to the side and began to escape from the huge gravitational pull.


    After leaving the invisible orbit, the spaceship regained its freedom.


    Then, the spaceship quickly moved in one direction and disappeared from the screen.


    "They''ve finally gotten rid of the gravitational pull. There shouldn''t be any more danger."


    Wu Mo breathed a sigh of relief.


    Then, he paused the footage and drew a curved arc on the screen with a colored pen.


    "Everyone, please look here. There may be an invisible orbit. This orbit is filled with a powerful gravitational force. This force is like an invisible monster that can suddenly pull huge objects into its embrace. Even if he can''tpletely absorb it, he can still distort its trajectory and forcefully pull it in his own direction!"


    Wu Mo''s tone was passionate as he analyzed the mysterious gravitational force that had just affected their spaceship.


    Such astronomical phenomenon was unprecedented and had never been recorded by scientists in the past. It was amazing.


    "It''s urate, Mr. Wu. The trajectory you''ve drawn seems to be the leader of gravity. What''s surprising is that how can such a trajectory domain be born outside the? Is the same phenomenon happening on our?" someone asked in confusion.


    In an instant, a group of top-notch astrologers was inspired.


    They immediately activated all kinds of advanced equipment to calcte Fita''s trajectory and various rted data. The spaceship that was far away from the danger zone remained on Dark Star, quietly waiting for news.


    The human world began to wait for a long time.


    ...


    Wu Mo returned to the base and opened the system''s store. Not long after, he created a bottle of mysterious potion called the Ultimate Recovery Potion.


    It was a miniature ck bottle that contained a purplish-ck liquid with a refreshing fragrance.


    However, it looked as thick as blood! This medicine was not taken orally but applied to the skin.


    After applying it once a day, it would take effect in three days. After seven days, the effect wouldpletely stabilize.


    If he wanted topletely change his constitution, he had to use it for seven days.


    However, two bottles of potions were required for seven days. One bottle could onlyst for a little more than three days.


    If this potion was to be sold worldwide in the future, a single bottle would not be of much use. Two bottles would be needed.


    But the people of China had not started to use this potion, so of course, they would not sell it in advance.


    In half a day, Wu Mo had produced twenty bottles of Ultimate Restoration Potion.


    Then, he walked straight into the Institute of Special Biology and found Xu Wanqing and her team.


    "This medicine is a new product. Find a few volunteers and test it."


    As soon as Wu Mo finished speaking, Xu Wanqing and the surrounding researchers exchanged nces.


    Their eyes were filled with surprise and anticipation.


    "Oh? President Wu has once again created a new miracle. This medicine seems to be different from the Biological Regeneration Agent we used before."


    Everyone was staring at the ck bottle. The liquid inside was as thick as blood.


    They were all puzzled. What kind of potion was this?


    Wu Mo then handed them a manual, which introduced the name and functions of the potion in detail.


    "What? It can change the body constitution, enhance the healing ability of the skin''s surface, and even strengthen the flesh and blood cells. This¡­ This... How is this possible?"


    Although one of the researchers had seen a lot, he was shocked speechless by the potion''s description.


    They immediately calmed down and found a few volunteers to conduct the experiment.


    When the volunteers heard that this project involved a new medicine that Wu Mo had developed, they were all excited.


    "Haha, Director Wu''s medicine is very expensive. This time, we''ve hit the jackpot!" The few test subjects were overjoyed.


    However, when the trials waspleted, they did not find any obvious changes in their bodies.


    "Hmm, something''s wrong. Isn''t this Director Wu''s meidcine? Why don''t I feel different after using it?"


    "Yeah, I feel the same way. Is it the same for you guys?"


    "Ahem, everyone, don''t panic. We should be sent to the observation room for forty-eight hours of observation." The volunteers looked at the ck marks on their bodies and were confused.


    However, the Institute of Special Biology did not keep them behind for further observation. Instead, the institute allowed them to leave and observe themselves.


    The volunteers were even more confused because whether it was Life First, Life Second, or the Biological Regeneration Agent, each required at least forty-eight hours of observation. Besides, there was an unusual feeling after using them.


    Among them, some volunteers had participated in the preliminary trials.


    Therefore, they had plenty of experience when it came to the potions taking effect.


    But now, forget staying back for further observation, they did not even feel any difference after using the potion.


    "Director Wu, the volunteers reported that they did not feel any changes or abnormalities in their bodies after using the medicine," aresearcher reported to Wu Mo.


    Wu Mo nodded slightly and said indifferently, "This medicine can change a person''s constitution without any side effects, so there''s no need for observation."


    His words were filled with determination and confidence.


    After ten days, the volunteers finally discovered that they had undergone incredible changes.

 Chapter 588 A Potion That Grants Superhuman Abilities!

    "Director Wu, when I was cutting vegetablesst night, I identally cut my finger, and it kept bleeding. However, just as I was about to put on the band-aid, I found that the wound had healed by itself. It was amazing!" a volunteer said in surprise.


    "I had a simr experience! When I was cooking, I identally got sshed with hot oil. I wanted to go to the hospital to get it treated, but I found that the red and swollen mark had disappeared and it didn''t hurt at all," another volunteer said in surprise.


    They all guessed that the strange phenomenon must have something to do with Wu Mo''s medicine, so they immediately reported the situation to the research institute.


    "Director Wu, it''s a sess! The effects of the potion are beyond our imagination!" Xu Wanqing could not help but say excitedly.


    Wu Mo nodded and praised, "Very good. The effects of this medicine are obvious. We can gradually promote it in the next step."


    Hearing Wu Mo''s words, the research institute''s staff were extremely excited.


    They were looking forward to this medicine improving the overall physique of the Chinese people and bringing them a healthier life.


    "Director Wu, why is this medicine named the Ultimate Recovery Potion?" a researcher asked curiously.


    Wu Mo replied with a smile, "Because this medicine has reached the peak of its effects. It can instantly heal all kinds of injuries in the human body. On top of that, there are no side effects at all!"


    Wu Mo''s words made everyone present dumbfounded. It was as if they were hearing about a super drug from a science fiction movie.


    The happy life of the Chinese seemed to be bing a reality.


    They had Life First and Life Second, which greatly increased their lifespan. They could even look decades younger.


    What was even more amazing was that this medicine could also restore the health of disabled people.


    Even the usual burns or small cuts could heal immediately, which was tantamount to giving them superhuman abilities.


    When this news spread, the whole of China was shocked.


    "What? The Ultimate Restoration Potion can target wounds on the surface of the body and heal them instantly?"


    "Oh, my God, I feel like the pharmaceutical industry is about to usher in a huge wave of change!"


    "Yeah, I feel the same way. I guess that medication for external injuries will be eliminated in the future. Who will still use those things? With this potion, we won''t be injured anymore!"


    The birth of the Ultimate Restoration Potion delighted some people, but it also worried others.


    Regr folk were excited, but thepanies that produced drugs for external injuries were worried.


    They could foresee that once this medicine became widespread, theirpany might face bankruptcy.


    However, this was Wu Mo''s invention. All they could do was ept their fate.


    The old chief looked for Wu Mo excitedly as the two of them had not seen each other for a while. Wu Mo had been busy with the spaceships and matters concerning the interster war. Meanwhile, the old chief was in charge of the coastal defense forces and the development of the city.


    "Wu Mo, I heard that you developed a medicine for ultimate recovery that can change a person''s physique and heal all external injuries?" the old chief could not help but ask.


    Wu Mo nodded with certainty and said, "Yes, Chief. I n to let the army be the first to benefit from this potion."


    "Wu Mo, your innovation is undoubtedly a huge leap in the field of biotechnology. Once all the soldiers start using this drug, their efficiency in training and missions will greatly increase!"


    The old chief''s eyes were shining as if Wu Mo was an extremely dazzling gem in his eyes.


    Not long after Wu Mo left, he produced several dozen bottles of the Ultimate Restoration Potion.


    The test subjects that were selected this time were all elites from the army. Their bodies did not have any defects. Instead, they were as strong as tigers.


    When they arrived at the Institute of Special Biology, their hearts were filled with nervousness and anticipation.


    "Boss, can this potion really heal external injuries? I often get injured during missions!" a soldier could not help but ask.


    They were once warriors on the battlefield and had carried out countless difficult missions.


    They had ovee numerous challenges for the country and the army, but it was not easy for them to protect their own health.


    Therefore, everyone was a little nervous. If they really used this medicine, would they not have to worry about ordinary external injuries in the future?


    They knew very well that in dangerous environments, such as fighting in the jungle, it was easy to get injured.


    If one''s body was cut or scratched by rusty objects during a special mission, it could cause a variety of other problems.


    If they bled when they carried out missions in dangerous areas, the smell of blood would attract many wild animals, which was a huge threat to them.


    Wu Mo''s Ultimate Restoration Potion would greatly improve this situation, and it could evenpletely eliminate this problem.


    "Don''t worry, we''ve sessfully tested it. You''ll understand after you use it," an older researcher said with a smile.


    Seeing how confident he was, the soldiers felt a sense offort in their hearts. They all agreed to test the potion.


    After the experiment, they got ready to enter the observation room for forty-eight hours.


    "Hmm? You don''t have to stay and observe us. We can just go back and observe ourselves?"


    "There''s no need to stay? How does this work?" The soldiers were shocked.


    They had all heard of the rule that theirrades had to be observed for a full forty-eight hours after receiving the Biological Regeneration Agent.


    Yet, they were now told that there was no need to do so? After careful consideration, they felt that this might not be a bad thing.


    At least they did not have to stay in this ce. It would undoubtedly be extremely boring to sit around for forty-eight hours.


    "Remember,e back in three days!" the researcher instructed.


    "I know!" one of the soldiers responded. He was obviously nervous.


    Three dayster, they would conduct the second test. After that, the medicine wouldpletely take effect in their bodies.


    At this moment, Wu Mo learned that these volunteers were actually part of a small team called the Flying Fox Squad.


    They were a Special Forces unit that often carried out missions in dangerous jungle environments due totheir tenacious character, keen sense of smell, and superb professional qualities.


    They had been sent on several difficult missions. In a month, they would go deep into the rainforest to carry out a special mission, which was to hunt down a group of criminals who had been on the run for a long time.


    These criminals were extremely cunning and had escaped capture many times. Therefore, they had no choice but to dispatch the Flying Fox Squad to deal with them this time.


    And before the Flying Fox Squad was dispatched, they had been tested on this ultimate recovery potion.


    His goal was to see if this potion could really allow every member of the Flying Fox Squad to obtain the ability to modify their physiques.


    Wu Mo understood that this was a crucial moment. Whether he could gain the support of all parties depended on this experiment.


    Three dayster, the warriors returned to theboratory for the second test.


    They mentioned that after thest test, they did not sense anything special about their bodies. It was as if they had not used the drug.


    However, this time, they seemed to sense some changes.

 Chapter 589 Global Focus, The Terrifying Rainforest

    "Huh? My body feels a little itchy on the inside. Am I imagining it?" A soldier pondered and said.


    When the soldiers returned ten dayster, they said something shocking in unison. They had experienced some so-called "supernatural events."


    "Supernatural events?"


    The researcherughed. Have you noticed that any of the wounds on your skin havepletely healed?" the researcher announced proudly as if he was personally honored by the results.


    "So this is the effect of the potion. It''s really magical!" The members of the Flying Fox Squad widened their eyes.


    Their eyes shone with an indescribable joy and excitement. Such a magical power was undoubtedly a great weapon for them to carry out their special mission.


    Just as they were about to set off, an officer arrived and gave them one final instruction.


    When the military learned that they had agreed to test the Ultimate Restoration Potion, they decided to dy the stream of their special mission.


    This dy in the streaming process was deliberately done to avoid possible dangerous leaks.


    There was also a deeper meaning behind such a live stream.


    It was to show off China''s new breakthroughs in the field of biotechnology to the world.


    "China is actually streaming a military mission? What''s the meaning of this?"


    When theizens from all over the world saw the live stream that was on standby, they were puzzled.


    However, when they carefully read the description, they realized that it was about the Flying Fox Squad.


    Moreover, every member of the squad had tested the Ultimate Restoration Potion. They were shocked.


    "Ultimate Restoration Potion? Did China''s base invent a new drug?"


    Everyone was stunned, and the rich people who had been deceived by China''s previous marketing tactics were even more resentful.


    "Oh, my God, are we going to buy it online again? The purchasing agent has already declined. Where are we going to find someone else?"


    They were heartbroken, but they realized that they were thinking too far ahead.


    This potion could not be sold for the time being, so they could only sigh.


    They fully focused on the live stream and looked forward to seeing the special effects that Wu Mo''s medicine could bring to the Flying Fox Squad.


    As the scenery changed, the camera moved to a dense and dangerous tropical rainforest.


    In the corner, they saw the firm backs of a few solemn individuals.


    They were members of the Flying Fox Squad, and they were carefully observing their surroundings as they ventured deeper into the rainforest.


    Wu Mo was also watching the livestream. He was waiting to see the effects of the Ultimate Restoration Potion in a real battle.


    Next to him were Xu Wanqing and other researchers. They were responsible for the future promotion of this medicine.


    Therefore, they had to fully understand its actual effects.


    On the screen, the members of the Flying Fox Squad were vigntly observing their surroundings like cheetahs.


    As they ventured deeper into the forest, the environment became more and more dangerous.


    Netizens all over the country and even the world were also staring at the screen nervously. They were waiting to see the team''s true strength.


    Suddenly, a swarm of hos flew over in the rainforest.


    These ck hos were deadly killers. They were huge, and their tips shone with a cold light.


    "The Overlord Hos of the tropical rainforest! Retreat!"


    The captain of the Flying Fox Squad immediately ordered his team members to retreat. They would rather face ferocious beasts than encounter these venomous hos.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    These hos were strong and extremely venomous. Even with ordinary antidotes, it was difficult to deal with the wounds that they inflicted.


    Just as the Flying Fox Squad was about to retreat, anotherrge group of venomous hos flew over from behind. They were now surrounded.


    "There are too many of them. What should we do?"


    They could not make any noise to avoid alerting the criminals who might be hiding. They could not shoot or use other means. They could only protect their faces as much as possible and then rush into the trees next to them.


    Along the way, each of them was stung by a lot of hos.


    The people watching the live stream were also shocked. They did not expect the tropical rainforest to be so dangerous. The Flying Fox Squad had just entered, and they were already encountering such a crisis.


    If they had been ordinary individuals, they would have probably fallen to the ground and stayed there!


    "Is this still the tropical rainforest that Wu Mo is familiar with?"


    "Look at those venomous hos! They left countless wounds on the squad members'' bodies. Will they be able to lose the hos and avoid death?"


    "Oh no, can this brave team survive?" At this moment, no one had any hope for the Flying Fox Squad.


    However, when the members of the Flying Fox Squad walked into the safe zone, they were surprised to find that there were no traces of wounds on their bodies!


    Yes, they carefully examined themselves and each other. They found that the ces that had been stung by the venomous hos hadpletely recovered. Their skin was as smooth as a baby''s, without any marks.


    What was even more surprising was that the venom in their bodies hadpletely disappeared!


    "Impossible!" the captain of the Flying Fox Squad cried out in surprise. Joy filled his eyes.


    "Haha, the Ultimate Restoration Potion must be in effect!"


    They all understood that this was definitely a result of the Ultimate Restoration Potion.


    However, they never thought that this potion could not only heal external injuries, but it could also eliminate venom.


    "Ultimate Restoration Potion?" Theizens watching the live stream went into an uproar. They did not expect the Flying Fox Squad to recoverpletely after being attacked by the horde of venomous hos.


    "If I had such a potion, I would steal that ho''s nest!" Someizens immediatelymented, and otherizens also expressed that they wanted the potion.


    With this potion, they would no longer be afraid of being bitten by snakes, chased by dogs, or feeling embarrassed from bee stings.


    "Director Wu, the effect of the medicine has exceeded our expectations!" aresearcher said excitedly to Wu Mo.


    Wu Mo nodded and smiled in satisfaction. The Ultimate Restoration Potion''s effect was better than he had expected!


    Aplicated terrain suddenly appeared on the screen.


    Even though the soldiers of the Flying Fox Squad were excellent at surviving in the wild, they remained vignt with every step.


    Despite that, a few of them still identally fell into a deep pit.


    This was a ce surrounded by nts with sharp thorns, which cut the soldiers who had fallen.


    A few young warriors were immediately covered in red wounds, and blood flowed out like streams. The scene was chaotic.


    "Oh, my God, the warriors of the Flying Fox Squad are injured!" The audience felt a tightness in their chest.


    However, what happened next was shocking. The bloody wounds on the soldiers'' bodies healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    In just two minutes, the wounds disappeared without a trace. Not even a scar was left.


    "It''s like special effects in a movie!" the audience could not help but exim. Everything before their eyes was too shocking.


    There had been so much blood and such deep wounds just a moment ago, but everything disappeared in an instant. Even legendary divine medicine could not do that, right?


    The potion''s poprity soared during the live stream.

 Chapter 590 Its My Decision

    Wu Mo looked at everything and understood that this was an effect of the Ultimate Restoration Potion that they could advertise.


    He predicted that once it was sold on the official website, countless people around the world would go crazy for it.


    Perhaps those quick purchasing agents who had been silent for a long time would also be revitalized.


    However, Wu Mo was not in a hurry to put this potion on the official website for sale. His eyes were locked on the Flying Fox Squad that was carrying out its mission.


    As they went deeper into the jungle, they finally found the criminal gang. Both sides immediately engaged in an intense exchange of fire.


    Bullets rained down in the forest, and Wu Mo could not help but feel worried. The damage caused by bullets was obviously much more serious than superficial wounds. Could the Ultimate Restoration Potion still be as effective?


    This was a huge unknown, and Wu Mo did not have absolute confidence in his heart.


    Wu Mo stared at the screen. He had to see everything with his own eyes to know the answer.


    Immediately after, the criminals ran forward like driven beasts and kept shooting back.


    They were all fiendish, and they showed their evil nature.


    However, the warriors of the Flying Fox Squad were not afraid. They pursued without hesitation.


    Every single one of them disyed the fearless spirit of the Chinese Special Forces.


    They ran through the forest as fast as lightning. Without a doubt, they were well-trained special forces.


    The distance between the two teams gradually narrowed, and the criminals were already feeling despair.


    "D*mn it! Fight them to the death!" acriminal roared. He had already prepared for the final battle and was trying to die with the Flying Fox Team.


    However, how could they be a match for the Flying Fox Squad?


    As a result, the criminals who were struggling fell to the ground under the firepower of the Flying Fox Squad.


    They were all repeat offenders and had long lost the right to live in countless crimes.


    On the battlefield, an elite warrior was identally shot. The deep bullet hole in his shoulder was dripping with blood, and the flesh inside was blurry.


    The gunpowder of this bullet had a corrosive effect. The wound must be cleaned immediately, or the consequences would be serious.


    "Don''t worry about me. You guys continue to pursue. I can handle it myself!"


    The soldier gritted his teeth and pulled out a dagger from his waist, preparing to treat his own wound.


    When the global audience saw this, they felt their hearts surge.


    "His willpower is too strong. He''s like a piece of steel!"


    "That''s China''s soldier for you, the most tenacious soldier in the world!"


    The audience waspletely enamored by the Flying Fox Squad. They were real tough guys.


    The members of the Flying Fox Squad were also extremely touched, but they knew that this was a battlefield, and they had to know how to give and take.


    The captain immediately gave the order and led the remaining members to continue chasing.


    At this moment, the member was preparing to perform a simple surgery on his own. The de in his hand was already hovering above his skin.


    "Wait, where am I injured?" He looked confused and stared at his body, only to find that the expected wound had disappeared.


    This scene was extremelyical. He looked carefully again and found that the bullet hole that should have existed had disappeared.


    When the staff of the Institute of Special Biology saw this, they immediately burst intoughter.


    This was not a mockery, but excitement at the effects of the miraculous potion they had developed.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    "Director Wu, look at this! It''s simply too interesting. He can''t find the bullet hole, and his expression is so cute that it''s hrious!" a researcher said excitedly to Wu Mo.


    Wu Mo also smiled and replied indifferently, "That''s right. Our Ultimate Restoration Potion has shown an astonishing healing effect in the face of such obvious external injuries. No matter how serious the injuries are, they can recover quickly. These superficial wounds are not worth mentioning at all."


    The soldier looked at his body carefully and finally realized that this was the effect of the Ultimate Restoration Potion.


    "Oh, my God, can the Ultimate Restoration Potion do this?" he asked in surprise.


    He touched the back of his head andughed foolishly. "This is great. As long as I don''t get a headshot, I don''t have to be afraid of bullets at all!" Then he quickly ran to his teammates.


    The audience from all over the world was stunned. It turned out that the Ultimate Restoration Potion had such a magical effect?


    "Oh, my God, this drug is like an invisible bulletproof vest!"


    "Bulletproof vest? This is much better than a bulletproof vest! His wounds werepletely healed without any side effects."


    "Sigh, what a pity. Why won''t China sell this potion? Isn''t this teasing our desire to buy it? I suspect they''re doing this on purpose!"


    Netizens were allmenting on this, hoping that they could buy this magical Ultimate Restoration Potion.


    Under the powerful effect of the Ultimate Restoration Potion, the group of warriors were injured.


    However, they recovered quickly and finally killed all the criminals one by one in the dense rainforest.


    The live stream ended here, and the scene came to an abrupt end. This mission could be said to havee to a perfect end.


    When the warriors of the Flying Fox Squad returned, they received praise and rewards from the higher-ups. This was the glory they deserved for fighting in the rainforest without being injured.


    They were in such a dangerous environment, and this honor was really hard toe by.


    The old chief also knew that if it were not for the Ultimate Restoration Potion that Wu Mo had developed, the Flying Fox Squad would have to pay an even greater price if they wanted to sessfully kill this group of criminals.


    The live stream was like a shocking advertisement, which made the whole world curious about this drug.


    When could they buy it? How much was the selling price?


    However, Wu Mo made it clear that this potion would not be sold on the market for the time being.


    "What?! Not for sale?" People from all over the world expressed their dissatisfaction.


    Due to the special nature of their working environment, they were also in urgent need of such a medicine so that they could go all out without any scruples. Perhaps they could even earn more.


    "Is China ying with us? This is too much!" Some members of theary Alliance had even approached Wu Mo through their private connections, hoping to get some medicine for their leaders.


    "Do you think you can enjoy special privileges just because you are a member of theary Alliance?" Wu Mo smiled and coldly rejected them.


    His smile seemed gentle and harmless, but it was extremely ring in the eyes of the alliance members.


    One of them said indignantly, "Director Wu, please reconsider. After all, we are all members of theary Alliance. There is still a long way to go in the future."


    Wu Mo frowned slightly and sized up this person for a while.


    The member felt his hair stand on end from Wu Mo''s gaze and could not help but look elsewhere.


    Wu Mo''s voice was as cold as ice. "Remember, this is China''s decision. This medicine will not be released to the world for the time being. It doesn''t matter who asks, the answer is the same."


    He paused and added, "If you threaten me as a member of theary Alliance, look forward to leaving the alliance. That is my decision."


    His words were like the cold wind in winter, blowing against the member''s face. His face was pale, and he took a few steps back as cold sweat broke out on his back.


    Only then did he realize who he was confronting!

 Chapter 591 Wu Mos Human Modification Plan

    The member trembled.


    At this moment, he wanted to p himself.


    Yes, he was facing Wu Mo, the designer of the protection n, the founder and leader of theary Alliance.


    Who in theary Alliance could go up against Wu Mo?


    Who did not expect him to continue developing spaceships that could break through the speed of light and start the real interster era? That was the era led by Wu Mo.


    Moreover, Wu Mo had recently developed the Ultimate Restoration Potion, and his limelight had once again reached its peak.


    The weight of his words was undoubtedly greater than that of any country''s leader.


    This member had forgotten everything in his moment of pride and said such aggressive words.


    Now, he was filled with regret, so he hurriedly apologized to Wu Mo.


    "I''m sorry, President Wu. My attitude earlier was very offensive."


    Wu Mo waved his hand and said, "Hurry along. I''m very busy now. Don''t disturb me if there''s nothing important. Oh, right, don''t look for me if you have any problems."


    He personally ordered his guest to leave.


    Wu Mo nced at the polished equipment used to synthesize dark matter in the system. It was expensive.


    He could buy it from the sales of the existing major potions, but that would force him to stop other research.


    However, this problem was solved because he had developed the Ultimate Restoration Potion in advance.


    Wu Mo had a bigger goal now, which was to let all the Chinese people obtain the Ultimate Restoration Potion first.


    As for people from other countries who wanted to buy it, they could, but they had to pay a corresponding price.


    Wu Mo would not do a losing business. Of course, the initial purchase price would be sky-high.


    He would announce the price and purchase conditions of this medicine at a global press conference.


    Right then, Wu Mo rushed to the base like a ferocious beast and devoted himself to research and production.


    His assistants were already used to his focused working attitude, and no one dared to disturb him.


    He cut off allmunication methods, and he wholeheartedly began to produce the Ultimate Restoration Potion.


    His focused working environment benefited from the assistance of themand center.


    They were focused on the big screen to monitor the movements of Dark Star.


    Once they received any information, they would inform Wu Mo immediately.


    At the same time, the astronauts who were traveling in the distant space also kept in touch.


    Thanks to the smooth progress of the operation, Wu Mo was able to focus so much on his Ultimate Restoration Potion.


    Finally, one day, Wu Mo walked out of the R&D room with a piece of delightful news¡ªhe had made five hundred bottles of Ultimate Restoration Potion!


    Yes, there were five hundred bottles. If everyone used two bottles, 250 people could enjoy the benefits of this potion.


    This was different from the Biological Regeneration Agent, which was only effective on disabled people.


    On the other hand, the Ultimate Restoration Potion was just like Life First and Life Second. It was extremely valuable to everyone.


    As a result, another three hundred lucky people were eligible to try the medicine.


    Almost all of these 250 people were from the army. They were the best talents that had been carefully selected.


    After using the Ultimate Restoration Potion, they would receive professional Special Forces training.


    Wu Mo observed that after this group of people used the potion, his profits in the system''s store had indeed increased.


    However, this was far from enough. He had to make this potion popr as soon as possible.


    A few dayster, Wu Mounched another one thousand bottles of medicine.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    This was enough for five hundred people to enjoy the benefits of the potion, so another five hundred lucky people became the object of envy.


    Wu Mo''s production speed was also increasing day by day, almost doubling.


    Half a monthter, tens of thousands of Chinese people had already enjoyed the benefits of the potion.


    "Oh, my God, this potion is really as magical as the legends say. When I went back, I cut myself with a kitchen knife on purpose, and the woundpletely recovered in just three minutes!"


    "You... You''re ying with fire. Although you have the potion, you can''t challenge your limits like that, right?"


    "Haha, your words sound quite interesting. I''ll give it a try when I go back!"


    Everyone was extremely curious about this new potion, and a passion for exploration burned in their hearts.


    The news here naturally shocked the entire world. People from all over the world were so jealous that their teeth ached!


    "They''re so lucky to be Chinese. I want to be a Chinese too!"


    Many people openly expressed their willingness to change their nationality.


    However, it was clear that China was very strict in terms of nationality management. They would never ept anyone''s application for citizenship. especially in the process of the Ultimate Restoration Potion''s unitization. These people''s intentions were already very obvious.


    Under strict scrutiny, no one could fish in troubled waters.


    Then, on this very day, Wu Mo announced a shocking piece of news: In seven days, the Ultimate Restoration Potion would be publicly avable for sale on the official website.


    The news spread and the whole world fell into a frenzy.


    They had been waiting for an entire month, and finally, this moment of good news had arrived.


    This was really not easy for them. Many of them were so excited that tears welled up in their eyes.


    They had witnessed the magical effects of the potion that had been used by the Chinese people.


    It was as if they were supermen in science fiction movies, omnipotent, which made everyone extremely jealous.


    With this drug, did he still need to go to the hospital?


    At the very least, ordinary external injuries could be healed by medicine. In other words, the trauma department in the hospital could be abolished.


    Due to the poprity of drugs in China, it also triggered a huge change in pharmaceutical factories, pharmacy, hospitals, and many other departments.


    However, this was a form of progress that they had to ept. No one dared to point fingers at this matter.


    Because the power behind Wu Mo was too powerful, they could not resist him. No one dared to cause trouble on this matter.


    The reason why Wu Mo chose to sell it seven dayster was actually very simple.


    He was very confident in his n for the next seven days. He believed that in this short period of time, more than 99% of the people in China would receive the baptism of the Ultimate Restoration Potion. This poprity had already exceeded his expectations.


    Therefore, he decided to open up global sales channels.


    For this reason, Wu Mo decided to hold a global live broadcast conference to announce the price and usage conditions of the Ultimate Restoration Potion to all mankind.


    "Wait, there are conditions?" When those wealthy people heard this news, they immediately felt uneasy.


    Life First, Life Second, and even the Biological Regeneration Agent. All of these were priced without any restrictions. As long as one had the money, they could buy them.


    This was also the way most goods were traded in the world. As long as there was money, there was almost nothing that could not be bought.


    On the day of the press conference, Wu Mo and his research team walked onto the stage as the main characters.


    Reporters from all over the world flocked there.


    However, due to their previous experience, the staff had carried out a strict screening in advance and eliminated all the malicious reporters, leaving only professional reporters who focused on reporting pharmaceutical news.


    "May I know how many batches of Ultimate Restoration Potions are there, Mr. Wu Mo?" afemale reporter asked seriously.


    Wu Mo smiled at the reporter from the other side of the world, and she suddenly felt her face turn red. She lowered her head shyly and dared not look at Wu Mo.


    "The first batch will be about two thousand bottles," Wu Mo replied.

 Chapter 592 The Rich Sharpen Their Knives Again

    Everyone was stunned.


    This was because there had never been so many batches of the three great potions before.


    Wu Mo added, "You need to buy two bottles of this potion at a time. It will only take effect after three days of use. Therefore, two thousand bottles can only be used by a thousand people."


    "I see!" Everyone nodded and finally understood that the way to use this potion was fundamentally different from the previous ones.


    "In that case, is it true that this medicine can cure all external injuries and allow one to recover in an extremely short period of time, Mr. Wu?"


    Another reporter stood up firmly and raised a question.


    Wu Mo smiled in return and said concisely, "You can take a look at the footage that we streamed online. That video has the answer to your question."


    The reporter smiled back at him and sat back down in satisfaction. However, things did not calm down. Instead, the atmosphere grew even more tense.


    Everyone inside and outside the arena wanted to know the answer to the next question the most.


    "Mr. Wu, how much will the Ultimate Restoration Potion cost?"


    As soon as this question was raised, the ce fell into silence.


    Everyone''s eyes were fixed on Wu Mo as if his words could decide their fate.


    Wu Mo cleared his throat and replied seriously, "Each bottle of the Ultimate Restoration Potion will cost twenty million yuan."


    The moment they heard this, the crowd went into an uproar.


    Each bottle cost twenty million so two bottles would cost forty million.


    They had to buy two bottles in one go to see its effects. In other words, they would have to spend forty million yuan.


    The price was shocking. Some people could not help but sigh. "I thought he would set a reasonable price this time. Who knew it would be another scam?!"


    The rich instantly hesitated. Even those who were ready to purchase the potion were surprised to find that no one had asked them to ce an order.


    They had learned their lesson when the prices of the three major potions took a dive.


    Many of them still had a lot of potions in stock. They decided to wait for now and observe before taking action.


    However, the oue was beyond everyone''s expectations. While the press conference was going on, the official website link was made avable.


    Yet, only three hundred bottles of the two thousand bottles of Ultimate Restoration Potion were sold. No one cared about the rest of the potions.


    "Oh? That''s how it turned out?" After Wu Mo understood the situation, he smiled and calmly said, "The solution to this problem is very simple. Just double the price."


    "What?! Double the price?" The staff in charge of sales on the official website was stunned.


    What kind of insane operation was this? But since Wu Mo had said so, he could only suppress his doubts and carry out each step of the n.


    In an instant, the price on the official website changed. Twenty million changed to forty million!


    Now, if the people wanted to buy the potion, they would have to fork out eighty million in one go.


    "What?! The price has doubled?"


    When the rich folk heard the news, they were so shocked that their eyeballs almost popped out!


    "Eighty million? Are these people crazy about money?"


    However, after the shock, they immediately smelled a business opportunity.


    "Haha, so that''s how it is! This medicine ispletely different from the previous ones. It''s an investment. That''s why Director Wu made such a move!"


    "Hurry up and get it. This is the best time. It''ll be toote if you dy things any further!"


    Thus, the people quickly took action.


    This was the decline of an industry but also the rise of another industry!


    The profession of a quick purchasing agent relied on youth and reaction speed!<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    If they reacted a little slower, they might fail.


    Young people, especially those who were skilled at gaming, instantly turned the tables and became the new stars of the fast-moving purchasing industry.


    They might not have obtained any results when they were ying games.


    However, in the business of quick purchasing, they could sessfully help their bosses buy bottles of potions. With the sales of the Ultimate Restoration Potion, the industry was revitalized!


    Some of the best quick purchasing agents immediately stood up and expressed that they were willing to ept lower wages for work.


    Everyone was surprised by their new attitudes. "Heavens! The quick purchasing agents are actually willing to lower their sry?"


    No one could have imagined that such a thing would happen.


    They were puzzled. "Aren''t these quick purchasing agents parasites that suck human blood?"


    Previously, whenever they bought a bottle of potion that was more than fifty million yuan, they would charge amission of several million yuan. It would reach about ten percent.


    Others originally thought that these people were just feeding off the rich.


    Therefore, they took their chances and made their demands without any scruples!


    Just imagine, they just had to make a small investment to buy a few bottles of medicine. Once they seeded, they could earn tens of millions inmission.


    That was a huge amount of money. It was enough for them to take a step forward and enter a wealthy pce!


    Now, they had be more and more astute. They knew what it meant to make smart decisions for the long term, and they learned to be careful.


    Therefore, they chose to lower their sries to get more invitations.


    These matters had nothing to do with Wu Mo. He did not know how well the Ultimate Restoration Potion was selling.


    He only knew that the price would definitely trigger a different reaction after it rose.


    Just as he thought, many people purchased it right away. They invested crazy sums of money and hired top quick purchasing agents topete for resources.


    Among them, some key figures yed a role. The quick purchasing agents they hired were the best of the best in the industry.


    As such, they managed to make arge number of purchases, and their eyes were filled with delight.


    ''Hahaha, we seeded! We finally seeded! With so many potions, we''ll be rich!'' someone thought excitedly.


    They knew that the new medicine would go out of stock in China.


    In other words, after the four great potions were released, there would likely not be a fifth potion.


    Hence, everyone could imagine that the top-notch Ultimate Restoration Potion was the pinnacle of medicine. There should not be anything stronger than it.


    They were indeed very shrewd, but Wu Mo was the best at making new breakthroughs.


    This meant that he might be able to create a more powerful potion. It was just a matter of time!


    After the rich bought the potion, the first thing they did was collect it. They would wait for it to be a rare item in the future before selling it at a sky-high price.


    They were best at buying low and selling high, but the current situation was different.


    They had to buy it at a high price and sell it at an even higher price to earn a huge profit from the difference!


    They were not worried about people refusing to take the potion from them.


    After all, there were still countless people in the world who yearned for the potion.


    As long as the potion''s poprity did not reach the level of the top three potions, they could reap arge sum of money.


    Wu Mo waspletely unaware of this situation.


    He focused on the development of the Ultimate Restoration Potion and continuously pushed it into the market to earn huge profits.


    More importantly, this would allow the entire system to make greater progress.

 Chapter 593 The Rise Of Purchasing Agents, Potions Entering The Market

    This time, Wu Mo prepared three thousand bottles of Ultimate Restoration Potion.


    This meant that 1,500 lucky people would be able to buy this medicine and obtain the magical ability to purify their bodies.


    When the three thousand more bottles of the potion entered the market, they caused a hugemotion to no one''s surprise.


    The rich immediately smelled something strange.


    "What happened? Why are there thousands of bottles again? Do they have an abundance of this potion? Have we been tricked by him again?"


    This made them even more cautious. They could tell that if the potion''s stock wasrge enough, the price would definitely fall sharply.


    ''Oh, my God, we spent eighty million on it. Please don''t lower the price!'' some people prayed anxiously in their hearts.


    They hoped to sell the potion for at least a hundred million. Only then would they make a huge profit!


    However, would reality really match their expectation?


    The potion''s price had indeed changed. Its unit price had gone down by ten million yuan.


    "What?! Thirty million for a bottle? Two bottles only add up to a total of sixty million. This brings our losses to twenty million!"


    Many people wanted to cry, more so when they thought of how much they had to pay the quick purchasing masters!


    Even though the purchasing agents had already lowered their prices, it was still a huge expense!


    It was depressing because the price difference alone had caused them to lose twenty million yuan.


    Furthermore, it was impossible to predict whether the price would continue to decline in the future.


    "What? What''s going on? I''m about to explode from anger!"


    Many people wanted to cry but had no tears. Ultimately, they made their own decisions.


    The rules of the market were like the eternalws of nature. If it could rise, it could naturally fall. It depended on how they seized an opportunity!


    Now that the potion was priced at thirty million, many people did not hesitate to buy it.


    They thought that they were extremely smart and that they had better discernment than the first batch of buyers.


    "You idiots! Don''t you know Director Wu''s signature technique? He loves to y games!"


    Theyughed at the first batch of buyers, whom they saw as fools.


    Their faces were filled with smug smiles as if they had nabbed the best deal.


    However, were these people really as smart as they thought they were?


    After they spent sixty million on two bottles of potion, someone detected something unusual and quickly stopped buying.


    In other words, after they hired quick purchasing agents, they gave up immediately and underpaid them by arge sum.


    Many people were confused, but some smarter ones began to ponder and smell something fishy.


    "Something''s wrong. Based on China''s style, they wouldn''t put such a good thing in front of us so tantly. There has to be some hidden conspiracy."


    "Haha, a hidden conspiracy? Do you think this is a detective novel? You''re reading into it too much. We''re just buying a potion, and we''re earning twenty million in one go. Where else can we find such a good thing?"


    Many people held a disdainful attitude toward those who were overly suspicious. They had a chance to purchase the potion, but they actually gave up. Was this not clearly a waste of opportunity?


    However, this was also a good thing since others could now buy one more bottle. Therefore, these people marketed the purchasing qualifications they had and used them to earn a lot of money.


    At this moment, Wu Mo was closely observing some test subjects in the Institute of Special Biology. Wu Mo''s heart was filled with anticipation.


    He wanted to see what kind of magical effects the Ultimate Restoration Potion would have on the current recipients.


    The average age of these subjects was above eighty years old. They were all fearless volunteers from a nursing home.


    These elderly people needed to avoid bumping into things almost on a daily basis. It was a priority because their footsteps were unsteady, and they could fall and injure themselves if they were not careful.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    However, now, they were working together and applying to try the Ultimate Restoration Potion.


    Wu Mo thought to himself, ''These people are really strong despite their age. They''re already so old, yet they still want to try this potion?


    Besides, the potion''s effects on them would be minimal because they did not need to carry out any tasks or work.


    As long as they took good care of their bodies every day, the chances of them suffering from external injuries were little to none.


    However, since these elders had requested it, Wu Mo was willing to appease them.


    Every one of them was a little excited and nervous as they watched the entire test without blinking.


    Then, they began to carefully observe the changes in their bodies.


    "Hmm, Little Wu, why don''t I feel any different? Is this potion expired?" one of the old men asked in confusion.


    The othersughed softly. Expired? This was a potion!


    "Old man, it will take time for this medicine to activate. You''ll only notice it after seven days!"


    "Oh!" When the elderly folk learned that they did not have to stay behind for further observation, they all rejoiced.


    After all, they were old. It would definitely be very inconvenient for them to stay there.


    Wu Mo told them to go back and rest first. They would return for the second round of testing three dayster.


    Then, he returned to the base and focused on developing the Ultimate Restoration Potion again.


    "Oh? Buying Speed Multiplication Pills can increase production speed by two times?"


    Wu Mo''s eyes lit up. There was such a good thing?


    Therefore, he bought the Speed Multiplication Pill from the system''s store. Once he used it, the potion''s production speed would double.


    He could then produce five hundred bottles of the Ultimate Restoration Potion in a day. After using the Speed Multiplication Pill, this number directly doubled to a thousand bottles.


    After ten days, he would have ten thousand bottles of potion!


    ''Alright, I''ll invest in more this time, lest those peoplee andin about theck of potions again.'' Wu Mo nned it out in his head.


    Just as he had expected, ten days seemed to pass in an instant.


    When the time came, ten thousand bottles of the potion were listed on the official website. Everyone was shocked!


    Ten thousand bottles of the Ultimate Restoration Potion¡­


    Everyone understood what this meant!


    That meant that five thousand people had a chance to enjoy this wonderful medicine.


    However, the saddest people were the ones who had bought the second batch of potions. They almost cried out loud!


    As for the first batch of buyers, although they had spent arge sum of money and had been treated as fools, they were nowughing hysterically at the second batch of buyers.


    "Hahaha, didn''t youugh at us? Let''s see who''s the fool now!"


    However, they weed a counterattack from the second batch as well.


    "We didn''t lose as much as you did. No matter how much the price falls, you still lost twenty million more than us. You''re the real fools!"


    This time, the price went down to twenty million per bottle, the same as the original price.


    Many people wanted to p themselves. Why did they not buy the potion when it first came out? Had they not wasted a lot of money?


    How could they know that Wu Mo already had them wrapped around his finger?


    Back when the price doubled, it had stimted their desire to buy the potion, just like opening Pandora''s box.

 Chapter 594 Welfare For All, External Arena

    Wu Mo knew all of this like the back of his hand. He knew the desire in their hearts.


    Therefore, with just a little strategy, he opened up new possibilities that resulted in the current situation.


    More people had the chance to buy the potion because there were ten thousand bottles avable.


    Since the stock was divided into multiple servers for delivery, even the agents who specialized in snapping the potion up did not get it.


    Therefore, in addition to the rich, some ordinary people obtained the means to buy the Ultimate Restoration Potion with their umted wealth.


    When they experienced the potion''s miraculous effect, they were deeply regretful because they did not have enough money to buy a second bottle.


    In the end, those who truly had the ability to hoard potions were still the rich with their mountains of money.


    However, as time passed, Wu Mo realized that production of the medicine was getting faster.


    "I''ll buy another Speed Multiplication Pill!" Wu Mo made up his mind and clicked on the purchase button.


    However, he found that the price of his second purchase was even higher than the first.


    Nevertheless, it was worth it because the second Speed Multiplication Pill could increase production speed by about four times!


    ''Yes, it will double production speed twice. At this rate, the potion will be universally used sooner than we think!'' Wu Mo muttered in his heart.


    Therefore, he frantically produced the Ultimate Restoration Potion at an astonishing rate of two thousand bottles a day.


    Not long after, they went all out on the entire official website! A hundred thousand bottles of the potion were made avable, and they awaited fifty thousand lucky people to enjoy their benefits.


    This number was like a loud and ruthless p in many people''s faces.


    At this moment, many people were standing on the rooftop, and the long queue swayed in the wind.


    They had invested most of their wealth into the potion, and they were hoping to sell it at a high price.


    However, the potion''s price plummeted again! This was hard for them to ept, and they almost copsed.


    "Heavens, how can this be? Are they trying to anger us to death?"


    They pretended to be more miserable than they were in hopes that someone would sympathize with them.


    However, who else had been arrogant when they could previously buy the potion?


    Who else had hired top quick purchasing agents to cut off other people''s opportunity to buy the potion so that they could hoard everything for themselves?


    These people would not receive any sympathy.


    After all, everyone knew that they were still financially stable.


    They just wanted some insignificant show of sympathy for their grievances!


    Unfortunately for them, their attitude did not attract a trace of pity. Instead, people felt that they deserved it.


    Soon after, the potion''s price fell to a new low, only costing five million per bottle.


    That''s right, only five million. Ten million would already get you two bottles.


    The price was eight times lower than before, so many people had the opportunity and ability to buy it!


    The masses generally believed that Wu Mo''s actions were beneficial to them. Everyone praised his good character, and no one tried to criticize him.


    The onlyints came from those who could not buy the potions or those who had cashed out.


    However, as the production process of the potion progressed, Wu Mo knew that its poprity would gradually increase.


    Once the Ultimate Restoration Potion reached everyone in the world¡­ the overall physical fitness of the human race would leap to a new level.


    When that happened, Wu Mo''s system would reap huge results and progress! "It''s going to be very, very soon. Things are already moving quickly."


    Wu Mo nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the progress of the research and development before him.


    At this moment, the military sent someone to call him over.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    He then made his way to themand center and looked up at the huge screen.


    On the screen, Dark Star''s view had changed to something simr to the Colosseum.


    Two of the spaceships were facing the spectator seats in the arena.


    The audience seats were filled with rows and rows of green-haired Dark Starlings. They stared ahead nervously and seemed to be waiting for something.


    All of a sudden, the iron gate at the center of the arena slowly opened.


    A few tall Dark Starlings walked out. Behind them were long chains that were wrapped in ayer of leather.


    It was obvious that this was not an ordinary chain but something simr to a wire that had been insted.


    The chains were electrified, so if someone tried to escape, he would be electrocuted or killed!


    Wu Mo looked at the other end of the chain, where two alien creatures of different shapes were tied up.


    These two creatures were very different from humans. They looked more like caterpirs. Their eyes were so small that it was almost impossible to detect them. Their eight limbs were also messy, which gave them an extremely strange appearance.


    A researcher could not help but say, "Our previous imagination always painted extraterrestrial creatures as humanoid. I''m ashamed of my narrow-mindedness." His voice filled with shock and disbelief.


    His words resonated with everyone, and they all nodded.


    They were the aliens this time, so why did those creatures have to bebeled as aliens?


    The biological form of every civilized life form should be in line with the living environment and conditions of the they were on.


    Through Dark Star''snguage system, Wu Mo learned that the two strange creatures were spies whom Fita had sent to Dark Star.


    They had unintentionally exposed their identities and attempted to escape, but they were captured after they left Dark Star''s surface.


    "These alien civilizations also engage in spying?" Wu Mo was very curious. It seemed that no matter which civilization¡ªadvanced or primitive¡ªspies were unavoidable.


    Next, he saw the alien spies being tortured in the arena.


    They were interrogated first before they were punished.


    Beams of green lightning danced on the bodies of the Fitans[1]. Their expressions were distorted, and their bodies trembled. Clearly, this was only the beginning for Dark Star.


    Then, a Dark Starling[2] brandished a strange weapon and walked up to a Fitan spy. He stabbed the iron rod in his hand into the spy''s brain and stirred it around in the spy''s head. It was a miserable sight.


    However, the surrounding Dark Starlings screamed wildly and seemed abnormally excited.


    It was such a cruel scene that many researchers could not look at it directly.


    Only then did everyone realize that the so-called advanced civilizations also had extremely cruel punishments.


    Dark Star had once been regarded as a weakling, but that was clearly not the case in the current situation.


    This was not a case of helping the weak to resist the strong.


    Instead, they were looking at two "tigers" fighting for territory. The human was just a jackal that was trying to get involved in the battle.


    "Don''t worry, this jackal will be a fierce tiger." Wu Mo silently expressed great determination in his eyes.


    The military had called him over to see how the spies were being punished. This also allowed him to have a better understanding of Dark Star''s research. He had to record everything so that humans could analyze Dark Star''s behavior and develop corresponding countermeasures.


    Another screen showed the spaceship that had left the Taal Neb. It was still leaving the star field.


    Although its speed did not change, antimatter would be required to push it in a different direction. That would undoubtedly consume energy.


    However, in a vacuum environment, the spaceship could take advantage of theck of resistance to achieve energy-free movement.


    After Wu Mo returned to the base, he did something major¡ªhe used the Speed Multiplication Pill again!


    [1] People from Fita


    [2] people of Dark Star

 Chapter 595 A New Future

    This time, he increased production speed by an astonishing fifty times, and the potion was produced like running water.


    However, many people still wanted to buy the potion. It was a huge group, so it would be a difficult task to get all of them to buy it in a short period of time.


    Fortunately, there were still two pills. In other words, Wu Mo could increase production speed to nearly two hundred times.


    If it really reached that level, Wu Mo''s personal production capacity would be enough to meet everyone''s needs!


    Sure enough, when he used another Speed Multiplication Pill to increase production speed by a hundred times, his production capacity greatly improved.


    In just ten days, Wu Mo had produced five hundred thousand bottles of the potion. Now, there was enough potion for 250,000 buyers to enjoy its benefits!


    It was an astonishing number, but the number of buyers could notpare to the entire human poption.


    After all, only a small number of people could buy the potion. Its price had not dropped to a level that the public could ept, which made it impossible for most people to buy it.


    Wu Mo''s current production capacity could only meet current demands. However, if the prices of the three potions were greatly reduced, would there be an opportunity for all humans to evolve their physiques?


    With five hundred thousand bottles of the medicine on shelves now, those who had bought them before probably felt like jumping off the building.


    "Who could have foreseen that a bottle of expensive potion would be somonly avable?"


    People were shocked to find that the price of the medicine had be rtively cheappared to its worth.


    However, a few million was still an unattainable number for most people.


    Nevertheless, one couldpare Wu Mo to the Grim Reaper. shing the scythe in his hand, he instantly killed the quick purchasing agents who had once been very popr.


    They had made a lot of money during the golden age of quick purchasing, so they retired happily.


    The quick purchasing business had been a special phenomenon on the website.


    Back when they were performing their tasks, these agents would just open their mouths and quote sky-high prices.


    Theirmission would even reach ten percent of the potion''s price, but now that the price of a bottle of potion had fallen to an outrageous level, who would still hire them?


    Some people even participated in the bidding themselves. It did not matter if they failed to buy the potion. After all, there might be hundreds of thousands or even millions of bottles next time.


    If they could not get it this time, would they not be able to buy it next time? However, these once-quick purchasing agents were now self-reliant.Bing their own bosses, they could purchase as much as they wanted.


    They had umted enough to have arge stockpile of goods, so they hoped that this would bring them a huge amount of wealth.


    Unfortunately, they were quick but not incredibly bright. They had forgotten why they had withdrawn from the industry and spent all their hard-earned money.


    Wu Mo spent another ten days producing five million bottles of the potion. It was a terrifying number, but 2.5 million people could now enjoy the potion''s magical power.


    Their physiques had improved, and none of them felt that their money had been spent in vain.


    After all, money could be earned, but if they missed out on this potion, they would lose it forever.


    Wu Mo noticed that the speed of the potion''s production was getting increasingly fast, and his heart was filled with satisfaction.


    At this rate, a virtuous cycle would be formed, and most people in the world would be able to enjoy this potion.


    "We''re truly almost there!" Wu Mo''s eyes were burning with excitement. He was intoxicated by how fast things were going, and he could see a brand-new future unfolding before him.


    In the next moment, a shocking idea shed through his mind.


    He nned to replicate the production process and hand it over to Xu Wanqing and the others at the Institute of Special Biology. That way, they could take over for him.


    Before he could finish his thought, he already took action by making thisplicated pharmaceutical production process into reality.


    There was a set of precise test tube equipment in front of him. All the raw materials were strictly confidential, and no one could uncover this secret.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    A detailed user manual alsoy quietly beside him. When Xu Wanqing and the others heard Wu Mo''s words, they immediately focused on the potion''s production.


    The price of an individual potion had dropped to two million, so the full purchase would only cost four million.


    Yet, with Wu Mo''s current production capacity, his profit increased instead of decreased. Everyone in the Institute of Special Biology was proud to participate in the potion''s production.


    They had witnessed the birth of this magical potion with their own eyes, and it would undoubtedly be a treasured memory.


    ...


    A monthter, through the joint efforts of Wu Mo and the Institute of Special Biology, ten million bottles of the Ultimate Restoration Potion were produced.


    When this was reflected on the official website, many people gasped.


    "Heavens! Ten million bottles! Is there something wrong with our eyes?"


    "How is this possible? Ten million bottles is too many!"


    "It''s over, it''s over¡­ How many people are going to jump off a building this time?"


    "Just stop talking! I''ll see you on the rooftop!" The price of the potion had dropped to two million yuan per bottle. Many people could now afford it, and the size of the consumer group expanded dramatically.


    As the production speed increased, Wu Mo could meet the needs of more people.


    Today, Wu Mo temporarily put aside his work because there was already enough purchasing power for him to start the dark matter device''s creation.


    Among the protective devices on the small experimental base, Wu Mo chose the dark matter convergence device without hesitation.


    He stared at the strange semi-circr box that looked like an iron tent. His eyes were deep, and his heart was filled with doubt.


    "Can this strange device really produce dark matter?"


    There was a small part in the device. It was as small as a test tube, and it could condense into dark matter every day.


    This substance would appear in the form of a gas in a transparent test tube.


    Wu Mo''s goal was to create dark matter, and he wanted to apply it to the aerospace field.


    The weapons field on his did not require dark matter. Antimatter was already powerful enough.


    Therefore, dark matter was prepared for the exploration of space.


    "Let''s begin. Let''s see if I can sessfully produce dark matter..."


    Wu Mo silently waited. After a short ten minutes, the entire device stopped operating.


    The entire process was quiet, and it ended abnormally quickly.


    Inparison, the previous antimatter production device would produce noise, and its operation was much slower.


    ''How did dark matter form so quickly?'' Wu Mo pondered. Dark matter was not something that could be captured with the naked eye.


    It was more like an illusory gas, just like air and water vapor.


    Although it was constantly around them, humans could not see it directly.


    That was the nature of dark matter! However, dark matter had an extremely terrifying characteristic: Its energy reserves could result in extremely powerful explosions.


    In fact, it did not belong to the scope of normal energy release.


    When it reacted with positive matter, it would produce a chain cycle transmission, which far exceeded antimatter.

 Chapter 596 Advanced Science And Technology That Shocked The World

    Wu Mo looked at a small portion of the gas in the transparent test tube.


    He knew that this was the dark matter that had just been gathered.


    He could not expose it to the air.


    Once the dark matter came into contact with positive matter in the air, it would produce a catastrophic reaction.


    It was just like a huge snow mountain. Once andslide urred in a certain direction, it could trigger a chain reaction and eventually evolve into a terrifying avnche.


    The principle of dark matter was the same, so its enormous power had to be used in space. Otherwise, the entire would not be able to withstand its destructive impact!


    ''Can such a small amount of dark matter produce such a huge effect? It''s unbelievable!'' Wu Mo secretly marveled in his heart.


    Next, his goal was to install this dark matter on a spaceship withbat capabilities.


    This spaceship waspletely different from the previous ones. He only had long-distance travel in mind when he designed those spaceships in the past.


    Now, not only did this spaceship have to meet the needs of long-distance travel, but it also had to possess improvedbat ability!


    At the very least, the spaceship should be equipped with a fewbat modules and be embedded with dark matter.


    Activating the dark matter propulsion device at the critical moment would increase itsbat ability by one level!


    Strictly speaking, this was not just an increase of level, but a leap of several steps.


    Wu Mo spent a few days redesigning the spaceship''s module and chose a top-notch scientific research chip from the mall.


    This chip could not only collect the entire''s natural information, but it could also continuously collect extraterrestrial information in the starry sky.


    Basically, it was an Evolution Chip! This chip carried Wu Mo''s dream to explore the distant starry sky and discover how wonderful the outside world was.


    Most importantly, Wu Mo felt a sense of danger. Would the Fitans retaliate?


    If his two spaceships were parked on Dark Star, would they be discovered by the Fitans?


    To obtain self-protection measures as soon as possible, the construction of a dark matter spaceship was particrly important.


    Finally, the spaceship slowly took shape.


    A well-known interview agency quickly learned of this.


    Of course, it was the military that informed the agency. Themander and several strong officers were overjoyed when they first heard the news.


    They instantly realized that this was a fact that should be made known to all mankind.


    China had once again taken a huge step forward in the aerospace field.


    Therefore, right after Wu Mo finished his busy research and development work, he immediately allowed himself to be interviewed by the media.


    "Mr. Wu, based on our understanding, this spaceship''s design focuses on the enhancement ofbat capabilities. Can you give us a detailed description of its performance?" a reporter seriously asked.


    Wu Mo took a deep breath and slowly said, "This spaceship not only meets our needs for long-distance voyages, but itsbat system is divided into five modules, namely the emergency response system, active attack system, scattered attack system, distressed explosion system, and self-destruction system."


    Following that, the reporter frowned and focused as Wu Mo exined in detail the characteristics and effects of the five attack systems.


    Fortunately, this reporter was incredibly professional, and he reacted quickly enough to ask another question.


    "In that case, what kind of energy source is used to power thisbat spaceship, Mr. Wu?" This question was very technical, and it made people wonder if this reporter had done his homework.


    Wu Mo did not hide anything. After all, this matter would be made public sooner orter. "The spaceship will use a hybrid model of conventional power and dark matter!" he said.


    "What?! Dark matter?" The moment this news came out, the entireary Alliance was in an uproar. All kinds of questions kept popping up. "What''s going on? China''s base actually developed a dark matter reactor?"<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    "Dark matter? It''s a surreal scientific concept. Won''t it take at least another five hundred years for us to make any breakthroughs? How did they do it?"


    "This is too terrifying. What exactly is China nning to do with dark matter? Are they trying to destroy the world?"


    For a moment, the screen that disyed the interview was filled with questions.


    The Chinese spokesperson replied in a cold and firm voice after every raised their questions, "Dark matter is Chief Engineer Wu''s recent great invention. It will be used to equip our spaceships with the ability to fight among the stars. I think you''re reading into it too much."


    Although China''s base provided a simple answer, people did notpletely ept it.


    After all, dark matter was associated with sensitive information.


    Possessing dark matter meant that China had mastered the power to destroy the. Moreover, this power woulde easily without much cost.


    Dark matter''s terrifying power was reflected in secret research conducted by countries all over the world.


    However, to them, it was no different from ascending to the heavens. No country had been able to turn it into reality.


    When the reporter made the news public, countless people went crazy.


    While all the countries in the world were panicking over China''s breakthrough, Wu Mo did not waver in the face of the rumors.


    He was more focused on the further optimization of his spaceship. The next step was to simte actualbat!


    Wu Mo nned tomunicate with the military and send out a few of the spaceship test machines from before.


    These experimental machines would be used as enemy simtions in outer space, and they would fight against Wu Mo''s newly developed spaceship.


    They would see how powerful this spaceship with the dark matter attack system was.


    However, such a confrontation had to be carried out outside the atmosphere, which meant in outer space. If it was on Earth, nothing could withstand such destructive consequences.


    At theunch center, Wu Mo and a group of researchers were already in ce. The military personnel had also arrived at the scene. There were also a few spacecraft test machines. They were all the embodiment of China''s top scientific research results.


    They had invested a huge amount of time and energy into these spaceships.


    Therefore, Wu Mo''s decision to treat them as imaginary enemies was clearly not just his personal matter.


    Under such circumstances, the military had high expectations for this imaginary confrontation.


    They wanted to see just what kind of power Wu Mo''s spaceship could unleash.


    Someone suggested live streaming this scene, but this idea was quickly rejected.


    A burly officer said coldly, "This is China''stest scientific and technological achievement. It''s top secret. How can we let the whole world see it?"


    He hadn''t finished his sentence, but his intentions were already clear.


    At this moment, the entire world was in a state of panic toward China, and there were still people spreading malicious views like China was a threat.


    Therefore, China couldn''t reveal the spaceship carrying dark matter to the public.


    Otherwise, it would only provide those people with more attack materials.


    Under such circumstances, those ignorant people might be misled and think that this was the truth. Although China did not care, this prejudice would still exist.


    Therefore, this confrontation was not broadcasted live. Only a few insiders knew the truth and came to watch.


    This included some of the people in charge of theary Alliance. They had not made their stance clear before, so China had invited them to watch the battle.

 Chapter 597 Dark Matter Combat Drill

    Many people arrived one after another. They all wanted to see how powerful this spaceship loaded with thetest research on dark matter was.


    At this moment, there were already more than thirty leaders of various countries present. More than ten people were still not present.


    These were the people who had previously attacked China.


    They imed that once China loaded all the dark matter into the weapon system, the next step would be to unify this, just like Fita and Dark Star. The Chinese would be the true master of this.


    Obviously, China''s base did not care about this. Those on the base felt that these people could think whatever they wanted. They would not change their decision because of this.


    On the huge screen, Wu Mo saw five experimental vehicles slowly rising into the air.


    In the past, these experimental machines were only used as models and ced in the warehouse.


    Now, after a series of start-up and cleaning work, they could enter the front line again.


    As the test machine gradually rose into the air, the five ck lights gradually disappeared from everyone''s sight.


    Everyone knew that the five experimental machines had already broken through the atmosphere and flew into the boundless space.


    Then, the angle of the image changed. Through the artificial satellites in space, the positions of the five test machines were urately locked.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, the five experimental vehicles have arrived at the predetermined location. Can weunch the dark matter spaceship now?" a researcher asked nervously.


    His heart was racing. This was his first time participating in such arge-scale experiment.


    He knew that any small mistake could lead to unpredictable consequences.


    Wu Mo nodded slightly and said firmly, "Begin,unch immediately!"


    At this moment, the time for the decisive battle had arrived.


    Wu Mo''s heart was filled with anticipation. He wanted to see what kind of power this spaceship loaded with dark matter could unleash.


    The attack power of the five experimental machines was not inferior to the three ships that participated in the interster war.


    Thus, the dark matter spaceship''s battle with them would undoubtedly reveal whether this spaceship could perform well on Dark Star.


    When the dark matter spaceship started its propulsion, it didn''t use the conventional system, but chose antimatter propulsion.


    Although this speed was fast, it did notpletely exceed the speed of light.


    This was because there was no need to use the speed of light before entering outer space. That would only cause a huge loss of energy.


    The dark matter spaceship gently entered space and began the simtion battle.


    "Look! It''s here, it''s finally here!" At this moment, all the heads of state, researchers, and military officials were staring nervously at the screen, not daring to blink.


    They saw the dark matter spaceship slowly moving towards the five experimental vehicles in front of them.


    Under themand of the remote control, the five experimental machines immediatelyunched an attack.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Fiveser cannons shot out rapidly from the vacuum and violently hit the dark matter spaceship.


    At that moment, the dark matter spaceship was propelled by the power of antimatter.


    Several side jets shot out at the same time, causing the spacecraft to move in a magical manner in the air.


    It dodged four rays, but one still hit it. At that moment, the tail of the dark matter spaceship suffered some damage.


    However, this did not affect the overall performance of the spaceship. Therefore, it could still continue fighting!


    "Fire!" In the control room far away, an order was given. The dark matter spaceship finally retaliated.


    Boom! Aser beam shot out from the spaceship and hit one of the test machines.


    The attack caused the test machine to suffer tremendous damage and almost fell into the abyss of space.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    "This is amazing!"


    One of the country''s officials couldn''t help but sigh.


    Those who saw this scene could not help but exim, The dark matter spaceship managed to dodge four of theser beams released by the five experimental machines.


    Moreover, it was only a casual attack, but it had directly caused a test machine to fall to the brink of copse.


    Who could match such power? However, it was obvious that some people were not satisfied with this.


    One of the supervisors in charge of the research said indifferently, "If it can only cause damage from such counterattacks, I''m afraid it won''t be able to withstand a few rounds of attacks before it''s destroyed, right?"


    His words attracted the attention of many people, and many people frowned slightly. This was clearly a voice that was dissatisfied with the dark matter spaceship''s performance.


    Everyone thought that it was already amazing that the dark matter spaceship could fight back against five people and sessfully hit a test machine.


    But from his words, it seemed that he was not satisfied with this? The battle on the screen continued.


    Wu Mo stared at the screen. He knew that when the dark matter spaceship was in a desperate situation, it would unleash its most terrifying counterattack.


    This was also the first time in human history that they had seen the power of such a substance. Thus, a chaotic battle began!


    The dark matter spaceship was driven by the power of antimatter, and its speed was as fast as lightning. It drew a powerful arc on the test machine.


    However, the five experimental spaceships that were pretending to be enemies were not to be outdone. The antimatter propulsion system that was temporarily installed increased their speed to almost the speed of light!


    In this super speed confrontation, what was tested was the limits of performance and endurance.


    The people standing in front of the screen could only see six ck lines dancing on the screen, unable to see the true appearance of the spaceship.


    "D*mn it, it''s moving at light speed. I can''t see it clearly at all!" aresearcher couldn''t help but curse.


    Everyone thought that this was a normal phenomenon. After all, this speed was close to the speed of light.


    Only through the remote screen''sposite image mode could he barely see it.


    If you were at the scene, you would not be able to see it clearly!


    At this moment, the five experimental machines finally began to surround the dark matter spaceship, forcing it into a corner. Then, they opened fire.


    These fivesers formed a destructive blow to the dark matter spaceship. Its body was sted with deep and terrifying holes! The speed of the ship also decreased significantly.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, it''s time to start the counterattack mode! a researcher suggested to Wu Mo.


    "Alright, activate counterattack mode," Wu Mo ordered coldly.


    "Yes, Chief Engineer Wu!" The researcher immediately carried out the order. When the officials and military officers heard Wu Mo''s order, they suddenly understood.


    "So, Chief Engineer Wu deliberately put the dark matter spaceship in a desperate situation to test its ability to counterattack!" they eximed.


    "Amazing... Chief Engineer Wu is too amazing. I really want to see how this dark matter spaceship will turn the tables!" another person in charge said excitedly.


    "Look, it''s starting to counterattack!"


    By then, the speed of the six spaceships on the screen had slowed down.


    At this moment, everyone was focused on the screen.


    The appearance and traces of the six spaceships were clearly visible.


    The dark matter spaceship that was forced into a corner was like a beast that was trapped, slowly raising its sharp triangr head.


    A hidden ferocious aura was about to explode.

 Chapter 598 The Second Interstellar War

    On the side of the dark matter spaceship, two tiny ck holes were revealed. It was unknown when they had appeared.


    Then, a ck light suddenly shed between the two ck holes!


    Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Under the ck light, the entire universe seemed to tremble.


    Then, the air was instantly filled with all kinds of elemental particles. It was extremely chaotic.


    A cry of surprise rang out. People sawyers of white light covering the starry sky.


    It was as if everything had disappeared in that instant. Even the fluctuations in the air had stopped.


    After a few breaths, the scene resumed its flow.


    However, when the scene was restored.


    Everyone widened their eyes in shock, their eyes filled with fear and shock!


    "Heavens! What is this?"


    One of the country''s officials was almost choked up.


    On the screen, the five imaginary enemy test machines shattered one after another!


    Yes, it shattered! They turned into fingernail-sized fragments and fell into the starry sky like raindrops.


    If not for the timely information provided by the artificial satellites, they might have missed this critical and exciting moment.


    "Oh my god, is this the attack power of dark matter? It was too terrifying!"


    Everyone was amazed. This was the power of dark matter.


    The five experimental mechs were destroyed in an instant, and even their eyes did not have time to react.


    Wu Mo looked at the situation on the screen and nodded in satisfaction.


    This was the ability of the dark matter spaceship that he was looking forward to.


    He thought to himself, Not bad, not bad at all. When dark matter bes asmon as controble nuclear fusion reactors, our civilization will reach a new level."


    In Wu Mo''s mind, his n was as clear as crystal.


    He wanted to use the power of dark matter to lead human civilization in science and technology.


    This was especially true for space and aviation.


    He swore to the entire human race that he would develop more advanced dark matter spaceships in the near future.


    Once the number of such spaceships exceeded ten, they would be distributed to all corners of the Earth and would be able to provide a powerful protection force.


    Even if humans were still unable to carry out deep space expeditions.


    But at the very least, they could protect their homnd from any potential threat from alien civilizations.


    However, just as Wu Mo was hoping to actively develop his skills during this period of time¡­


    The scene on the big screen shocked all the researchers¡ªthe Dark Star people had started a new campaign!


    This time, they summoned two Chinese spaceships.


    Their fleet consisted of more than fifty spaceships of various sizes. They slowly rose into the air and set off from Dark Star, heading straight for Fita.


    More importantly, the two China spaceships had already conveyed the intentions of Dark Star people.


    In the eyes of the Dark Star people, they had already severely damaged most of the spaceships on Fita in the previous battle, and even severely damaged their mothership.


    Therefore, after a small meeting with the upper echelons of Dark Star, they unanimously decided to take the initiative to attack and eliminate this threat.


    Furthermore, they even hoped to seize the secret of theary civilization crossing over.


    Wu Mo didn''t know whether tough or cry at this bold idea.


    Did they really think that conquering a would be that easy?


    Even though the level of civilization on Fita was simr to that of Dark Star.


    However, Fita had entered this civilization level much earlier.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    They had umted more experience in this field.


    In addition, they were waiting at home, so they had the advantage.


    Thus, Dark Star''s actions were clearly ill-considered.


    However, what was even more worrying was that Dark Star had actually pulled two of China''s spaceships along with them.


    This undoubtedly dragged China into the abyss of chaos.


    "We have no other choice. If we refuse to join, the hatred of the Dark Star people might turn towards our."


    A researcher''s voice was filled with worry, and his brows were tightly furrowed.


    Even though there were still a few Dark Star people locked up in their cells.


    But obviously, if they were forced into a corner, they might do anything.


    Wu Mo pondered for a moment and finally said,""Let''s observe the situation first."


    At this moment, on the big screen in front of them.


    The two Chinese spaceships followed the Dark Star team and gradually elerated, finally reaching the speed of light.


    Even though he was traveling at light speed, the time was greatly shortened.


    However, it would still take several years to cross this distance.


    Because their destination, Fei Ta, was a few light years away from them!


    Then, their speed directly surpassed the speed of light by two times, then three times, then four times, until their speed was so fast that the big screen could not capture their tracks.


    At the same time, China''s two spaceships couldn''t reach this speed.


    However, even if it was only twice the speed of light, it was already the top level of human technology.


    Wu Mo was secretly pleased because of this. The Chinese spaceships were limited by speed and needed to fly for a long time to reach Fita.


    That way, when they arrived, the battle would have already ended, and the Chinese spaceships would naturally avoid the battle.


    However, Wu Mo''s n was very beautiful. Would Dark Star people think this way? Suddenly, a Dark Star ship appeared on the big screen. Then, its speed gradually slowed down until it reached the same speed as China''s ship.


    Then, two mechanical arms extended from the cabin of the spaceship!


    The two huge mechanical arms locked onto the two Chinese spaceships and elerated them!


    "What is it? They can actually do this?" A researcher''s eyes widened in shock. He could not believe his eyes.


    The cunning and treachery of Dark Star people made people gnash their teeth. Even Wu Mo was speechless. He had never expected Dark Star people to use such a high-level method.


    The Chinese spaceships were forced to follow the Dark Star people and fly at several times the speed of light toward Fita.


    If the design of the spaceship didn''t allow it to have the ability to surpass the speed of light.


    Then the spaceship would definitely disintegrate instantly due to speeding.


    If they couldn''t achieve such a speed, ordinary objects with mass would be able to move at a faster speed.


    If it suddenly surpassed the speed of light, it was very likely that it would turn into light particles and cause its own destruction.


    However, when Wu Mo designed this spaceship, he had already foreseen this problem.


    Therefore, not only could it withstand the speed of light, but it could even withstand several times the speed of light.


    This was because the materials used in the spaceship weren''t from Earth.


    It was a high-grade alloy refined in space. The core technology of this smelting was the focus of Wu Mo''s next step.


    Because only by mastering this smelting technology could he produce more materials for the body and more and more spaceships.


    The second round of interster wars had finally begun! Fita slowly appeared in everyone''s field of vision.


    When people saw this iparably huge, it was at least a thousand timesrger than the human.


    Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air and held their breaths. Their eyes were fixed on it, not daring to blink.

 Chapter 599 Fear Of The Unknown Universe

    "God, Fita is so huge!"


    Someone eximed.


    Such a huge must be home to a rich variety of races.


    When such a gave birth to an advanced civilization, how terrifying would their strength be?


    Everyone could see that the spaceship fleet of Dark Star was slowly approaching Fita.


    Then, they lined up in a row, and a few spaceships stepped forward to provoke them.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Severalser beams shot out in the vacuum of space.


    Theser shot through the protectiveyer of the like an arrow and instantlynded on this strange and vastnd.


    At this moment, Fita was like a beehive that had been touched.


    One after another, universe ships rushed out from the, like wild beasts, showing their ferocious counterattack.


    Wu Mo revealed a surprised expression and whispered, "There are so many spaceships, and Fita''s counterattack is actually so powerful?"


    In the chaotic space, the beacon fire of the second round of the war was burning again.


    Hundreds of spaceships were like warriors on an ancient battlefield, fighting in closebat.


    The universe ships were like candles in the wind, extinguished one by one, like meteorites falling into the endless dark abyss.


    This battle was extremely cruel. The two spaceships from China couldn''t y any role in this battle. They could only be bystanders, or worse, cannon fodder.


    They were powerless to participate because their strength was like sparks hitting the ocean.


    Wu Mo''s gaze once again shifted to the battlefield. Dark Star''s power seemed to be gradually gaining the upper hand.


    The spaceships on Fita seemed to be afraid of something and didn''t dare to go all out.


    In the end, they chose to retreat and return to their own.


    Dark Star''s victory cheers were transmitted into Wu Mo''s ears through the voice system. They were celebrating this great victory.


    Wu Mo was puzzled by this. How did the technology of the Dark Star people advance by leaps and bounds in such a short period of time to be able to suppress Fita and win this war?


    They crossed the gxy toe here and started this war against Fita. However, under such circumstances, Fita was defeated and retreated.


    What was going on? Wu Mo recalled that the Dark Star people had taken the initiative to contact the humans and proposed an alliance to fight against Fita.


    All of this seemed to be clouded with doubts. Wu Mo furrowed his brows, feeling puzzled by the development of all this.


    Dark Star was like a star in the dark night. It clearly had the strength to suppress Fita.


    But what was their goal? And why would they take the initiative to contact humans, a race that was far inferior to them in terms of technology and civilization?


    Wu Mo''s thoughts were in a state of chaos, but he quickly put aside these questions.


    Because he understood that the only unchanging truth was that his own strength was the most important.


    His goal was to refine metals suitable for traveling at superluminal speed as soon as possible so that he could build more spaceships to protect the human and the dignity of mankind.


    At this moment, the Dark Star people had won aplete victory on the battlefield. Not willing to be outdone, they took the initiative tounch an all-out attack on Fita.


    "What?" Wu Mo''s gaze was solemn as he spoke in a low voice, "These fellows are not satisfied and are still attacking."


    The researchers were equally shocked. They couldn''t help but discuss, "These Dark Star people really won''t give up. They''re actually still attacking."


    Even though Fita was suppressed, as a race that had entered the interster civilization earlier, they definitely had their own foundation.


    With the Dark Star people attacking so aggressively, were they not afraid that Fita would retaliate and cause both sides to perish together?


    Wu Mo did not understand why the Dark Star people were so rash. However, he knew that every move of these guys was baffling.


    However, they always proved their wisdom and foresight in the future.


    Therefore, he would not easily think that the Dark Star people were a group of reckless people who only knew how to vent the hatred in their hearts.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    Wu Mo was puzzled. He vaguely felt that there must be a deeper meaning behind the actions of these Dark Star people.


    After that, he saw Fita''s spaceship fly out again.


    Meanwhile, the Dark Star people had already made their preparations and quicklyid out a trap.


    "Heavens, what''s going on?" The Fita people fled in panic. They could not understand why the Dark Star people suddenly possessed such powerful spaceship technology.


    In the space where the mes of war intertwined, they deeply felt the overwhelming advantage of the Dark Star people''s spaceship.


    It was an existence that was unmatched in both endurance and explosive power.


    Even a full-powered attack could not shake it at all.


    As a result, the people of Fita no longer had the courage to step out of the boundaries of the and challenge the boundless starry sky with their weak strength.


    Their courage was swallowed by the immense fear.


    Wu Mo''s eyes reflected a shocking scene.


    The spaceships of the Dark Star people were like ferocious beasts roaring in front of their prey. They circled around Fita, exuding endless provocation.


    On the other hand, Fita was as quiet as a dead fish. There was no sound of resistance.


    They didn''t dare to send out their spaceships to fight. They could only wait for fate''s judgment in their endless fear.


    "Is this the so-called third level space civilization? It seemed that the people who were truly qualified to step into the realm of the True God were the people from Dark Star!"


    Wu Mo couldn''t help but sigh. His tone was filled with helplessness and regret.


    At this moment, the Chinese spaceship was in an awkward situation.


    They were like bystanders of this fierce battle. They did nothing but watch.


    More importantly, their technology was alreadygging behind and could not keep up with the war in the universe.


    They were like the ythings of the Dark Star people, at their mercy.


    Suddenly, during the retreat, a voice came from Dark Star''s universe ship.


    His voice was transmitted to themand center of China''s base throughmunication mode.


    Wu Mo and the other researchers received the news immediately.


    The humans of the distant starry sky have obtained the preliminary victory.


    Next, we will transform your in the same way. Please ept our goodwill."


    Then, the voice came to a sudden halt. Clearly, they did not care about the human''s response.


    This short message contained a deep meaning. The moment he heard this, Wu Mo''s eyes turned extremely gloomy.


    Wu Mo took a deep breath, his eyes filled with a fierce look.


    At this moment, he finally understood that every move of the Dark Star people was actually a meticulously nned show.


    They first described Fita as a powerful existence, making humans feel a deep sense of danger and arousing our fear of the unknown universe.


    Following that, we did as they wished and sent our spaceships into the embrace of war, hoping to borrow the strength of the Dark Star people.


    Then, in the name of punishing spies, they showed their cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness.


    Then, they would pull the Chinese spaceships into the second round of battle.


    They would defeat the powerful Fita in front of the Chinese and put on a good show of a hero''s counterattack.


    After that, they shamelessly imed that they would help China build a simr civilization.


    Their words were filled with self-righteous superiority.


    They believed that in the face of such a fact, humans had no reason to refuse. They would only ept this kind of transformation with gratitude.

 Chapter 600 A Moment Of Life And Death For Humanity On Earth

    "They want to transform our? How arrogant!"


    A researcher frowned, his heart filled with unhappiness.


    They were humans living on this. How could they be willing to see their home being forcefully transformed by an alien civilization?


    Moreover, this kind of transformation was definitely not harmless. It must be invasive and purposeful.


    "Director Wu, I understand now. So these guys have an ulterior motive!"


    A researcher said with a gloomy face.


    Wu Mo nodded. That''s right, everything was a scheme meticulously woven by the Dark Starlings.


    And now, they had cut off themunication system. It was obvious that they wanted to make the final decision. They wanted to strike first and not give the humans any chance to react.


    "Quick, calcte how long it will take to travel from Dark Star to our."


    Wu Mo hurriedly ordered the starry sky actuary to calcte.


    The results were out. It had been about forty days.


    "Forty days¡­"


    Wu Mo muttered to himself. He knew that in the next 40 days, he would be racing against time.


    This was the continuation of theary defense war, which concerned the survival of mankind.


    "Find the old chief. I need to talk to him immediately!"


    Wu Mo''s voice was like an arrow piercing through the air, instantly piercing through the mor of the entiremand center.


    He jumped up from his seat, like a cheetah, quickly put on his coat, and quickly walked out of themand center.


    At this moment, the big screen in themand center suddenly stopped.


    The Dark Starlings had already decisively cut off themunication between China and the two spaceships.


    The researchers instantly realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately acted ording to Wu Mo''s orders.


    Not long after, Wu Mo sat face to face with the old chief.


    "Wu Mo, what''s the big deal?" The old chief looked at Wu Mo''s expression and felt nervous.


    He had known Wu Mo for a long time, but he had never seen him so serious and nervous.


    He was well aware that this must be a situation that he could not control.


    After inviting all the officers out and leaving them alone, the old chief looked at Wu Mo with full attention.


    After Wu Mo sat down, he took a sip of water and opened his mouth. The first thing he said surprised the old chief.


    "Chief, the battle of life and death for mankind ising!"


    "What is it? The life and death of mankind? Wu Mo, what are you talking about?"


    The old chief''s voice was trembling. His expression instantly turned serious.


    He couldn''t believe what he was hearing, but he couldn''t deny Wu Mo''s seriousness.


    Wu Mo did not answer. Instead, he told them what the Dark Starlings had said, as well as the conspiracy behind them.


    After listening, everyone fell into a dead silence.


    "Wu Mo, you''re saying that the Dark Starlings will arrive on our in forty days andunch an all-out war against us?" the old chief finally asked.


    His voice had be weak.


    However, his gaze was like a sharp arrow that shot straight at Wu Mo.


    Wu Mo nodded, his eyes filled with determination. "Yes, Chief. We must believe this. The ambitions of the Dark Starlings will not stop here. We must act immediately and mobilize the entire world!"<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    The old chief nodded and did not question Wu Mo''s words. However, the worry on his face became more and more obvious.


    He slowly spat out the doubts in his heart. "Wu Mo, do you understand? Our is not monopolized by a single country. Even with theary Alliance, the will of each country is not united."


    Wu Mo sighed deeply. He admitted that this was a helpless reality.


    However, he also understood that he had to face the inevitable reality bravely.


    "Chief, it''s precisely because of the current situation that we should try to change it. When the crisises, no one can stay out of it. Everyone must fight to protect our!" Wu Mo''s eyes were firm, and his voice was firm.


    The old chief was silent. He could not deny Wu Mo''s words. However, the cruelty of reality prevented him from finding a solution.


    China''s power could only affect China and the leaders of many countries within theary Alliance.


    They all had their own ulterior motives and would not fully ept China''s suggestion.


    "Let''s hold a small meeting first. I''ll try to talk to them."


    Wu Mo''s voice was filled with determination. This was the best he could do for the entire.


    If those people still refused to cooperate, Wu Mo would have to act like a lone wolf and do his best to protect China.


    As for other matters, he had no time to care.


    Immediately after, a small meeting was held within theary Alliance.


    When they found out that it was Wu Mo who initiated it, everyone was shocked.


    The meeting was held in the temporary conference room of the base.


    Now, due to the poprity of controble nuclear fusion reactors and the fact that some countries had already mastered antimatter technology.


    Therefore, nes were no longer a luxury mode of transportation, but a mode of travel for the masses.


    With a great increase in speed, all the leaders of the country quickly arrived at the meeting room of the base.


    Wu Mo looked at them, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice,""Everyone, the battle for the survival of our human is about to begin!"


    "What?! The life and death of the human?"


    "Chief Engineer Wu, what do you mean? Why was it so severe?"


    "Mr. Wu, please be straightforward. We are also a part of this. We have the right to know the truth!"


    Seeing their reactions, Wu Mo nodded slightly, his eyes shining with satisfaction.


    At least, these people still cared about their.


    He spoke again, his voice even more steady. "The Dark Star that we once mistakenly believed to be oppressed is not the true victim. They are the true demons. They are about to extend their ws to our and attack our civilization in the name of strong transformation."


    "What?! It was actually like this¡­" Every leader present looked at Wu Mo in shock.


    They never thought that things would develop to this point. They had originally thought that they could borrow the power of Dark Star to be a more advanced civilization, but they had not expected that Dark Star was the real threat.


    "Mr. Wu, if Dark Star really wants to modify our civilized, then why can''t we ept their modification?"


    A national leader who asked innocently stepped forward to ask a question and was looked at with disdain by others.


    "Sir." Wu Mo chuckled. "Do you think apletely unfamiliar alien civilization will help us upgrade for free?" If it was you, why would you do that?"


    The leader was stunned. He seemed to have finally realized the seriousness of the problem.


    There was no such thing as hatred without reason, and there was no such thing as love without reason.


    Dark Star''s motive is definitely not selfless. Their goal is undoubtedly to turn our into their colony or subsidiary.


    Once that happens, we natives will be treated like livestock by them,pletely controlled by them, and even led by the nose!

 Chapter 601 On The Verge Of War

    The atmosphere in the venue suddenly became tense, and everyone''s hearts were extremely heavy.


    Dark Star''s power had surpassed the level of their civilization. How could humanspare?


    Their spaceships andbat capabilities far exceeded the humans. How can they fight back?


    The meetingsted for a long time. Finally, under Wu Mo''s guidance, all parties reached an agreement.


    The degree of unity of theary Alliance was unparalleled at this moment.


    The selfishness and disputes of the past were reced by amon crisis.


    People were no longer just thinking for themselves, but for the future of the entire.


    After all, this was a matter of life and death for the entire human.


    No one could choose to continue being selfish at this moment.


    After Wu Mo returned to the base, he devoted himself to researching and developing the technology to smelt the universe''s mysterious alloy.


    This technology originated from the evolution update of the system store.


    This brand-new technology could capture the mysterious elements in the universe and synthesize them.


    This element is a mysterious metal element found on aary spaceship in the universe. It doesn''t belong to any of the elements in the periodic table that we know.


    However, after the elements were synthesized, the metal formed could withstand high temperatures without any distortion.


    More importantly, it could directly withstand the particle limitation of light speed.


    No metal in the human world couldpare to such a characteristic.


    At the same time, Wu Mo handed the task of producing the Ultimate Restoration Potion to the Special Biology Research Institute.


    Xu Wanqing and her team worked day and night to produce the drug and sell it on China''s official website.


    However, the stock of this potion on China''s official website had already reached tens of millions of bottles.


    Obviously, this number far exceeded the market demand.


    However, it wasn''t because people weren''t interested in the drug, but because the production speed of the research institute was too fast. People couldn''t buy it.


    Wu Mo even considered lowering the price a little more so that he could sell it faster.


    However, this potion was precious after all. If the price was lowered too low, it would reduce its value.


    Therefore, under Wu Mo''s control, the price did not continue to fall by arge margin.


    On the other hand, Wu Mo''s alloy smelting technology had made a huge breakthrough and produced arge number of such metals.


    Wu Mo immediately began to use the newly developed mysterious alloy to build a spaceship that could carry dark matter.


    This was the top priority. They had toplete the first batch of spaceships as soon as possible to protect the outer perimeter of the human. They had to wait for the Dark Starlings to arrive and kill them.


    Wu Mo knew that the degree of global unity was unprecedented.


    Every country is closely surrounded in themon crisis of extinction.


    Every country did not hesitate to share their top-notch technology.


    If there were still people who dared to hide it now, it would undoubtedly be a foolish act.


    After all, once they were destroyed by the Dark Starlings and became their colony, no one would be able to escape.


    At that time, your so-called skills would be nothing but a pile of scrap metal in the eyes of others.


    So, if he did not take out his technology to protect his homnd now, what was he waiting for?<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    Even China had made the core propulsion technology of antimatter public and shared it with other countries.


    At this moment, the integration of all the world''s technologies was astonishing. Whether it was in aviation, military weapons, or people''s livelihood, there was a huge breakthrough.


    A famous person once said something with far-reaching influence, "If all human races and countries can unite wholeheartedly and selflessly, the technological progress of mankind will be at least five hundred years ahead." This was confirmed at this moment.


    With the joint efforts of all parties, arge-scale equipment was slowly formed. This equipment could be loaded on an aerospace spaceship, simr to a civil aviation device, to fly to distants for mining.


    This was not only a method of mining, but it could also provide a steady stream of information. It was as versatile as a satellite.


    Under the guidance of experienced scientists, several countries had developed advanced equipment that could build temporary city protection in a very short time.


    The equipment was first dug into the thick ground.


    Then, the extremely sturdy drill bit secured both ends of the tunnel, making it unable to move, and then pushed all the way forward.


    When the equipment passed by, the foundation would bepletely formed, and an underground city could be built on the existing foundation. On the human, this kind of technology sounded like a science fiction movie.


    However, if it was ced on an alien, it might be a reality. There were countless such things.


    All in all, the human world had undergone a shocking revolution, bringing about earth-shaking and terrifying changes.


    Wu Mo raised his head and looked at the changes happening on the. A burning impulse surged in his heart.


    At this moment, he had to seize the time to upgrade the armed forces of the human and wee the uing star war that would determine the fate of mankind.


    This war was named the World Saving War within theary Alliance.


    The next forty days would be the crucial moment of the general mobilization to save the world.


    Whether or not the entire world could be saved depended on this period of time.


    As the days passed, the atmosphere on the entire human became more and more tense.


    Suddenly, an important piece of information came from the front. The long-range space exploration satellite had discovered the shadow of the Dark Star spaceship.


    "They''re here. Have these guys finally shown themselves?" The researchers'' gazes were fixed on the screen. They saw that Dark Star had sent out eighteen spaceships this time. They were all of different sizes and had different functions.


    One of the spaceships stretched out its ck ws and grabbed the two spaceships from China, dragging them back helplessly.


    It was as if they were escorting two criminals to the execution ground.


    Seeing this scene, all the researchers gritted their teeth in hatred.


    "D*mn Dark Starlings! D*mn imposters!" aresearcher cursed angrily.


    Their hatred for the Dark Starlings was deeply imprinted in their hearts.


    They had once felt that the Dark Starlings were very pitiful. As an advanced civilization, they were threatened by another civilization and faced the danger of extinction at any time.


    However, theyter found out that they had been fooled. It turned out that the Dark Starlings were deliberately showing weakness in order to exchange for theirpanions.


    When their n did not work, the Dark Starlings used their second move. Meanwhile, the humans brought the Chinese ship and wandered around the universe.


    Not long after, the humans discovered to their horror that the Dark Starlings were even more powerful than Fitans.


    Their real goal was to use this opportunity topletely transform the human!


    The word " transformation " sounded beautiful, but in reality, this was undoubtedly a full-scale envement and invasion.


    "Chief Engineer Wu told us that there are currently twenty spaceships loaded with dark matter. Let''s fight them to the death in space!" afierce researcher cursed.


    "s, war is cruel and always harmful to both sides. He really hoped that all the civilizations in the universe could unite!" A sympathetic researcher sighed.


    However, his words seemed unnecessary.

 Chapter 602 Battle Between Civilizations

    Every civilization originated from a different race, and each was made up of different elemental life forms.


    Their life forms were different, so how could they possibly achieve unity?


    At this moment, Wu Mo finally sent good news. After a period of seclusion, thirty spaceships loaded with dark matter quietly appeared.


    These ck spaceships were like the most terrifying warriors, ready to defend the entire''s honor.


    The spaceships'' appearance gave the alliance a lot of confidence.


    It was as if they were injected with a dose of cardiac stimnt, which caused the long-term worry on everyone''s faces to gradually dissipate.


    They noticed that these spaceships were equipped with many mysterious devices that they had never seen before!


    There were some ck holes that could be used to attack the dark matter.


    There were also some huge discs and shield-like devices, which wereplicated and fancy.


    People began to specte, but they found that they could not identify what it was.


    However, since these spaceships were Wu Mo''s masterpiece, everyone believed that they had the ability to protect the.


    "Wu Mo, the long range satellites ahead indicate that Dark Star''s spaceships are about half a light-year away. With their speed, they will be within shooting range in less than ten days."


    The old chief spoke to Wu Mo in a heavy and nervous tone. His sadness was obvious, as this period of time was undoubtedly a torment for him.


    He was a leader of this, but now he had to face a challenge from the depths of the universe. He had never experienced such a drastic change in his life.


    However, the old chief was unyielding. His strong will allowed him to quickly adapt to his new role.


    He understood that mankind''s battlefield had shifted from Earth to the universe, and the speedat which they were developing was unprecedented.


    Humans not only had to defeat themselves, but they also had to engage in a seemingly unfair battle with an advanced alien civilization.


    However, this battle was inevitable, and China was fully prepared.


    Not only did China produce thirty dark matter spaceships, but they also had many civilian and energy production facilities in the works.


    In the future, China could userge spaceships to transport these equipment to neighborings for development.


    All of this would have taken one to two hundred years to achieve.


    However, they were already on track in less than a year, and it was thanks to Wu Mo''s great contribution.


    It was a crucial moment as he briefed the public on the thirty spaceships on a global live broadcast.


    This was not a press conference, and China was not in the mood to put on such a show.


    Wu Mo was only assuring the public and telling them that there was no need to panic.


    Although their opponent was an alien civilization like in the movies, the aliens were not immortals, and they did not have the terrifying power to subjugate the universe.


    They were merely strong because they had advanced one step ahead of Earth.


    Their spaceships also relied on weapons simr to cannons to destroy others, but ultimately, they were still living beings.


    Under such circumstances, China''s spaceship could still defeat them!


    Wu Mo''s words were forceful, and they showed his determination.


    He concluded, "Everyone, you can rest assured. China and theary Alliance will fight the alien civilization to the death to protect Earth. We will not back down!"


    As soon as he said this, people around the world stopped what they were doing and apuded enthusiastically.


    The apuse was overwhelming like a tide. It was as if the sound waves had passed through the atmosphere and reverberated in space.


    More than a billion people began to tear up. At this moment, no matter where they came from, no matter what their stand was, they all felt the same deep emotions.


    In the face of an alien civilization''s threat, they were a family.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    Yes, they were a family on Earth, and now their home was under threat.


    Everyone needed to work together to face this challenge. They should not have any selfish thoughts.


    In the next ten days, Wu Mo threw himself into work and used this time to modify as well as upgrade his weapons.


    He re-examined the thirty spaceships to ensure that nothing went wrong. This was a battle to save the world, and there could not be any mistakes.


    In these ten days, Wu Mo was confident that he could build three to five advanced dark matter spaceships.


    Following a tense countdown, the red light in themand center finally lit up.


    In outer space, less than a trillion kilometers away from Earth''s surface, eighteen Dark Star spaceships quietly appeared.


    They emerged from the deep space zone and approached at a speed that was more than twice the speed of light.


    Right then, all of mankind knew that the critical moment had arrived.


    This great battle to save the world would unite all humans.


    People realized that the Dark Star spaceships were located in the sky above the desert in the northwest of China.


    It was an important location for China''s strategicyout. Dark Star had chosen to invade from there, and it was likely that they had a n.


    China was the main line of defense this time, which shocked everyone in theary Alliance.


    "Heavens, Dark Star actually values China so much that they''ve chosen to attack it first?"


    Leaders of many countries immediately expressed that they would provide endless assistance during this critical period.


    However, some leaders chose to remain silent. Those countries that were just beyond China had always been at odds with it.


    When the Dark Starlings took the lead in attacking China, they saw it as an opportunity for them to overtake them.


    However, China did not care about these countries with ulterior motives.


    Instead, it went all out and deployed all its armed forces around the northwest desert, including the aircraft carrier formation and nuclear-powered submarines.


    The thirty dark matter spaceships developed by Wu Mo were already slowly rising into the air. The spaceunch station acted as their base, and they quietly waited there for orders.


    Once the Dark Starlings arrived, they would give them a "surprise."


    As expected, the Dark Starlings'' spaceships began to approach the human.


    There was a tall green-haired alien in one of the ships. When he saw the blue before him, his eyes shone with an inexplicable light.


    "Hmm, is this the?


    "There''s more to this," he slowly continued. "Bari told us that this has given birth to a primary civilization, and it has great development potential. It has an unimaginable cultural heritage."


    His eyes were filled with murderous intent. He was the captain of this operation. Those on his had ordered him to conquer and transform the human.


    Transformation was a long process. First, they had to conquer this.


    With a vicious expression, the alien in charge of capturing the two Chinese spaceships shot out a pure whiteser beam.


    In an instant, the two Chinese spaceships exploded.


    Boom! Boom! The two spaceships with China''s most advanced technology exploded.


    They turned into shards that scattered in the starry sky.


    Those in themand center witnessed this, and everyone gritted their teeth as if they had suffered a huge humiliation.


    "Dark Starlings, you will die in our hands sooner orter!" a researcher gritted his teeth and said.


    After all, these spaceships had been painstakingly developed by them.

 Chapter 603 The Power Of Earths Highest Technology

    Even though the core part of the spaceship came from Wu Mo''s skillful hands, its external modules, infrastructure, and so on came from the researchers'' hard work.


    They had worked around the clock and put in a huge amount of effort to develop this spaceship that could go on long-distance expeditions. Now, it had been easily destroyed by the Dark Starlings.


    The Dark Starlings seemed to realize that the satellites could capture their movements. Therefore, they took this as an opportunity to put on a demonstration.


    At this moment, Wu Mo was already on standby with a group of national and military leaders. They looked at the screen as the Dark Star spaceships got closer and closer to Earth.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, what should we do next?" amander asked. They were all looking to Wu Mo for answers.


    Wu Mo took a deep breath and slowly said, "When they enter our firing range, we''ll send out five spaceships andunch a probing attack. Then we''ll see how they react."


    "Alright, Chief Engineer Wu." Themander gave his orders soon after.


    In terms of tacticalmand, they had many outstanding generals from all over the world.


    However, in this operation, Wu Mo''smand was the most important because the thirty ships had been built by him.


    He knew the spaceships'' performance andbat features like the back of his hand.


    As expected, eighteen Dark Star spaceships slowly appeared within their range of attack. Following that, five spaceships wereunched from the space based station.


    The dark outer space was silent, with only a few tiny specks of dust and some silent satellites slowly rotating.


    No one knew that a contest between a primary civilization and an advanced civilization was about to begin.


    The five spaceships used advanced radar shielding technology to mask themselves. As a result, they were able to move forward like shadows.


    "Now, fire!" an order came from the base. The five spaceships quickly locked onto a spaceship in front of them and opened fire.


    Five sharpser beams shot out instantly. However, they were not energy attacks that carried dark matter but pure nuclear fusion energy.


    Even so, this energy was enough to turn any spaceship into nothingness.


    Wu Mo chose not to use dark matter in the normal attack systems.


    He nned to use it as a secret weapon at a critical moment to give the Dark Starlings a surprise attack.


    Rumble! Out of the fiveser beams, two urately hit a spaceship.


    The Dark Star spaceship that was hit was instantly surrounded by green mes. Its speed was also greatly reduced, and it shook as if it was about to lose control.


    "How dare they attack us? These low-level civilizations truly overestimate themselves!" a giant green-haired alien roared. It immediately waved its hand and ordered the spaceships on either side of it to counterattack.


    Following its order, two spaceships rushed out like ghosts. They headed straight for the Chinese camp and attacked the five Chinese spaceships.


    Da da da da¡­ Theirser beams shot out continuously like machine guns, and the power was astonishing. They attacked the Chinese spaceships with great uracy.


    A huge fireball bloomed in space, and a Chinese spaceship was hit.


    "How could theirser beams be so powerful? Are they stronger than nuclear fusion energy?"


    When the people on the base saw this, their expressions turned solemn.


    Obviously, they did not understand the technology behind these powerfulser beams.


    However, Wu Mo was not afraid. He knew that the dark matter that they had yet to use would give the Dark Starlings a shocking surprise.


    "Continue to surround them and attack from a distance. Don''t fight them head-on!" Wu Mo ordered.


    The current spaceships he developed had extremely great mobility, which far surpassed that of the previous ones.


    Now, they could utilize this advantage to continuously attack their surroundings. In other words, they would deploy the "shoot and leave" tactic. They could not go head-to-head with the Dark Star spaceships.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    The power of Dark Star''sser beam was too strong, and its spaceships also had extremely great defense.


    Previously, two of China''s spaceships had already hit one of the Dark Star spaceships with nuclear fusionsers.


    However, to everyone''s surprise, the ship could still move slowly. It was notpletely destroyed.


    Wu Mo understood something from this.


    He realized that in the future development of spaceships, he should pay more attention to improving their defensive capabilities. It might bring about unexpected results.


    Following that, China''s four spaceships began to circle the Dark Star spaceships and form a line of defense.


    Meanwhile, the fifteen Dark Star spaceships slowly pressed forward in a neat row. Then, they arranged themselves in the formation they were most familiar with.


    "Look! It''s the One-line Goose Formation again! This formation doesn''t look special, but it can unleash astonishing power."


    When a general saw this, his expression became slightly solemn.


    They had carefully studied Dark Star''s strategicyout before.


    However, this snaky formation could always unleash unimaginable power. It was hard to predict.


    At this moment, the Dark Starlings saw the four Chinese spaceships attacking them, and they smiled with disdain.


    "These low-level spaceships are trying to give us trouble. What a joke!"


    As soon as one of the aliens finished speaking, a spaceship immediately moved out.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! It was shockingly fast, like a phantom dancing in the air. It did not seem like a huge spaceship at all.


    "It''s... It''s too fast!" a researcher could not help but curse.


    Wu Mo was also a little surprised. The spaceships he developed all had extreme speed and could move in all directions in a very short time.


    However, the Dark Star spaceship was still faster. Itflew about without any pattern, like a mosquito in the air.


    It single-handedly intercepted four Chinese spaceships with its terrifying speed.


    "We can''t let it continue to mess around with us like this!


    "Mobilize five spaceships and activate the dark matter attack system!" Wu Mo ordered without hesitation.


    "Yes, Chief Engineer Wu!" The atmosphere on the entire base instantly became tense.


    This was the moment they had been waiting for. Their hearts were filled with anticipation and excitement.


    Wu Mo had developed the dark matter attack system in the name of China. Once its power was unleashed, what kind of terrifying sight would they see?


    Everyone held their breath and waited with rapt attention as they were afraid of missing any details.


    However, ordinary people around the world were still in the dark.


    A group of warriors were piloting their spaceships and engaging in a life-and-death battle with advanced civilizations to protect their blue.


    Under Wu Mo''smand, the five spaceships shot out like arrows and charged swiftly toward the Dark Star ship.


    "Target locked. Fire!" As soon as themand was given, the dark matterunch system was activated. Silent dark energy rays burst out, and the starry sky was instantly covered in a dazzling white light.


    "This is¡­ not good! Retreat!" A tall green-haired alien suddenly realized that something was wrong, but it was toote.


    It immediately gave the order to retreat, but in this situation, it was not easy to retreat immediately.

 Chapter 604 Arrogant Fitan

    Even the advanced Dark Star civilization would not be able to react immediately when faced with such a situation.


    In the end, one of the dark mattersers sessfully hit the Dark Star spaceship.


    Sizzle¡­ As expected, there were no loud explosions and visual fluctuations.


    The Dark Star spaceship wasparable to a monkey that had been struck by a heavy hammer. It suddenly froze in the air and began to disintegrate piece by piece.


    The falling fragments melted quickly and silently disappeared like snow under the scorching sun.


    "This... Is this a with a low-level civilization? Why do they have dark matter?"


    The tall green-haired alien in the spaceship''smand center was furious.


    Its angry roar echoed in the spaceship and made the others, especially a few short aliens, tremble in fear.


    Their eyes widened as they stared at the scene before them in horror.


    "How is this possible? We''ve searched their thoroughly, but we''ve never found any weapons of this level. What''s going on?"


    The Dark Starlings never thought that the humans could have developed such a weapon in just forty days.


    Nevertheless, the humans'' progress was not enough to instill fear in them.


    They were just a little surprised since they did not understand how humans had suddenly improved their aerospace technology to such a level.


    "Heh, it''s good that these insignificant civilizations have the audacity to fight back. At least we don''t have to feel guilty, right?" the tall alien said as it pressed a shing green button.


    This button was engraved with a lightning pattern. In the Dark Star civilization, this represented destruction and reconstruction.


    Following that, eight of the remaining ships suddenly charged out.


    They formed a straight line formation and stabbed forward like a sharp knife. This was the battle formation that the Dark Star civilization was best at.


    Wu Mo noticed something strange through the screen.


    The long-range satellite detection technology had captured eight powerful energy fluctuations that were approaching rapidly.


    "Danger! Retreat immediately! Protect the main ship!" Wu Mo immediately ordered.


    The other spaceships moved quickly to provide cover.


    This was the real beginning of the battle between life and death.


    The turbulence in the sky attracted the attention of many people.


    They looked at the sky above them and found that there wereyers of strange fluctuations among the white clouds, but they could not see the exact situation.


    "Uncle, look, the clouds in the sky have turned into a vortex. It''s so strange!"


    A child noticed this phenomenon too and told the adult beside him excitedly.


    Everyone raised their heads to look, but they had no idea what was happening in the sky.


    They mistakenly thought that this was just a normal urrence, but they did not realize that it was something from the depths of space.


    A battle that would determine the fate of mankind was taking ce at the edge of the.


    Would they continue to be masters of the, or be the ves of others? Everything was about to be decided.


    On the base, the leaders of the various countries, militarymanders, and Wu Mo were all extremely nervous. They dared not even breathe.


    Their eyes were like torches as they stared at the battle on the screen.


    Wu Mo''s attack n was being carried out in an orderly manner, so the others had some confidence in it.


    Rumble! There was unprecedented madness in theser crossfire. The destructive power released exceeded the limits of all weapons on Earth.


    It was like the destructive storm caused by a nuclear war on Earth.


    However, on the scale of the universe, it was just a tiny spark.


    In the boundless dark vacuum, the impact of a nuclear bomb explosion was extremely limited. To the naked eye, it might just be a tiny starlight.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    However, theser beam unleashed by dark matter or nuclear fusion energy could fly an endless distance in a vacuum environment.


    This cosmic war was like an epic scene from a sci-fi movie. It was jaw-dropping.


    Suddenly, someone discovered that the formation of Dark Star''s spaceships had changed.


    "Oh, no! They''ve changed their formation. We have to do the same!" One of the country''s officials was shocked.


    Wu Mo had to make the most reasonable decision based on the spaceship''s performance and changes from the enemy.


    Following that, the small spaceships gradually revealed theirunchers. The moment everyone saw theunchers, they could not help but gasp.


    "Oh, my God! Chief Engineer Wu, what kind of unique design is that?"


    "They seem overpowering. Thoseunchers must be terrifying!"


    "Haha, Chief Engineer Wu is indeed skilled. Those Dark Starlings are finished!"


    If there had been outsiders present, they would not have been able to understand what Wu Mo had done.


    Only those who witnessed the scene on the base would truly experience such a shock.


    As it turned out, among the spaceships designed by Wu Mo, ten of them had unique designs.


    During the previous opening ceremony, no one noticed these details.


    Now, when they looked at the spaceships again, everyone was taken aback!


    The ships were equipped with a dense number of cannons, which were made from hard metals that had been extracted from the universe.


    They were not long like human arms, but their numbers were shocking.


    If someone had trypophobia, they would probably feel extremely ufortable seeing them.


    Since there were so many of them, they were distributed on both sides of the spaceships. There were up to several hundred of them!


    That''s right, there were hundreds of cannons. Behind each cannon barrel was a small reactor thatunched dark matter.


    Once activated, the dark matter reaction system would immediately fire at full power!


    These densely packed cannon barrels spat out terrifying destructive rays.


    Chi chi chi¡­ Hundreds of rays shot out from each spaceship and added up to thousands of rays!


    It was as if a brilliant firework had been set off in the starry sky. The visual effect was like nothing they had ever seen.


    "Heavens, this is too terrifying!" At this moment, even themander of the Dark Star spaceship could not help but widen its eyes and hold its breath. They could not believe what they were seeing. It felt like a dream, so unreal!


    The eight Dark Star spaceships that were the first to bear the brunt of the attack suffered a devastating blow.


    Kacha! Kacha!


    One after another, the spaceships disintegrated amid the silent tremors.


    They turned into pieces and quickly melted as if they had never appeared!


    All of this happened so quickly that almost no one could react in time.


    The people who witnessed all of this seemed to have a shocking fireworks explosion in their minds. They could not believe what they were seeing.


    Although the Dark Starlings had suffered some injuries in their battle with the Fitans, that was not something worth mentioning now.


    They had deeply experienced what true pain was in the hands of the humans, whom they saw as primitive.


    On the Dark Star fleet''s main ship, the tall green-haired alien was having a video call with a group ofmanders.


    Their faces were as pale as paper, and their eyes were as dark as a deepke.


    "Eight of our spaceships have been shot down by this low-level just like that, and all of you are speechless?" the tall alien questioned in a loud voice.


    The tension in themand room was so thick that you could almost cut it.

 Chapter 605 Thunderbolt Strike

    Every alien from Dark Star fell silent, their faces filled with shame.


    They could not seem to utter a single word before the tall alien.


    "What''s wrong? Is the superiority of our advanced civilization only left with silence?"


    As soon as the Dark Starling finished speaking, its body seemed to emit an invisible intimidating force that instantly filled the entiremand room.


    If Wu Mo were to see this, he would definitely be astonished.


    This was because there seemed to be a mysterious maic field circting within the body of this Dark Starling.


    The electromaic effect condensed into a tangible aura that made everyone in front of him feel fear.


    This power had already surpassed the boundaries of science and entered the mystical realm.


    However, the battle outside continued.


    The battle to save the world, which ended with Wu Mo''s spaceship, was undergoing a powerful reversal.


    Those cannons continued to shoot out destructive rays, which forced the remaining ten Dark Star spaceships to flee in all directions.


    Under such desperate circumstances, Dark Star''s starships had to make strategic adjustments.


    They instantly retracted their attacks and tried their best to use their speed advantage to widen the distance between them and the enemy.


    Almost at the same time, they also reflected a kind of ray that was simr to dark matter.


    Although its range was not as good as dark matter, its uracy was far superior.


    Unfortunately, in terms of power, it still could notpare to the dark matter ray.


    "Haha, Director Wu, with this dark matter ray, it''s as if our attack power has advanced through several eras overnight!" At this moment, one of the officials couldn''t help butugh.


    They had always had a close rtionship with China, and they felt honored to see China''s spaceship burn like a prairie fire in the war to save the world.


    Wu Mo smiled and nodded. Everything was within his expectations.


    This terrifying dark matter spaceship made up of hundreds of cannons should be able to suppress all opponents.


    Unless the other party had already evolved into a Level 2 civilization, they would not be able to resist such a terrifying killing weapon.


    The current situation was clear. China had the absolute advantage.


    At this moment, the remaining twenty plus spaceships from China pressed forward. They forced the Dark Star spaceships into the chaoticary belt.


    The cosmic dust scattered in all directions and drifted erratically at a speed close to the speed of light.


    If they were not careful, even the advanced Dark Star spaceships could be destroyed in an instant.


    Under such circumstances, they had to be extremely careful and defend from the front and back.


    As a result, it was inevitable that more spaceships would encounter misfortune.


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Three spaceships exploded in session and turned into balls of fire in the universe before they fell rapidly.


    "What the hell is this?"


    In thergest mothership, the tall green-haired alien was furious.


    If that anger could materialize in the form of a physical form, the entire spaceship would probably be burned to ashes.


    Three spaceships were protecting it, but they might not even be able to protect themselves. These spaceships were elerating rapidly and escaping into the distant depths of the universe.


    "D*mn it, we actually lost this battle!" The tall green-haired alien punched down in fury.


    The hard alloy table before him immediately exploded. The hard alloy couldn''t put up a fight.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    "Captain, we''ve already lost. Let''s just ept reality and retreat!" someone beside it gritted its teeth and said in pain.


    It knew that such words might put it in a difficult position.


    However, there was nothing they could do. If they didn''t stop now, their four spaceships, including the huge mothership, would go down.


    They were only able to escape after a fierce internal struggle.


    Unfortunately, the tall green-haired alien decided that it could not ept this deep humiliation!


    "No way. How can an advanced civilization like us admit defeat to this low-level native? Continue firing!"


    Hearing the order, the operators on the spaceship sighed.


    "The captain has gonepletely crazy. Let''s retreat!" one of them whispered.


    The othersmunicated through the one-waymunication system. "You''re the crazy one. How dare you disobey the captain''s orders? Do you want to suffer the consequences?"


    Thus, despite their helplessness, they could only listen to their captain''s orders and pilot thest spaceship toward the Chinese.


    "Hmph, they''re courting death!" Wu Mo said coldly. Then, he quickly ordered a change in formation.


    The Chinese teams, who had already practiced several formations, immediately moved. Like the Five Elements Formation, they were divided into two wings.


    Once this formation was fully deployed, it was indescribably powerful. The cannons that were best at attacking roared.


    Wave after wave of concentrated artillery fire drew terrifying lines of mes in the air. They were reminiscent of demonic roars.


    Meanwhile, the faster battleships were like ferocious tigers descending from the mountains. They nimbly shuttled back and forth at the edge of the battlefield andunched continuous attacks!


    With this strategy, the remaining Dark Star spaceships suffered an iparably intense blow.


    Rumble! The three defensive Dark Star spaceships were unable to withstand the concentrated firepower from China.


    The ships exploded one after another and turned into fireballs that scattered in the starry sky like fireworks.


    Only thest mothership struggled in despair and released its madness. It broke through the restraints like a meteor and charged toward the Chinese spaceships.


    In an instant, the three spaceships were hit by the mothership. They quickly retreated as they broke apart.


    "This mad dog! Focus all your firepower and destroy it!"


    Wu Mo, who was on themand tform, issued orders like a furious lion.


    Next, all the dark matter rays converged on the mothership.


    After five minutes of continuous bombardment, the mothership finally let out an ear-splitting explosion.


    Although it was in outer space, everyone on the entire human seemed to hear a p of thunder.


    Everyone looked up at the sky, speechless with shock.


    At this moment, they felt that something was wrong, but they did not know what.


    They only saw the white clouds in the sky being pulled into a strange vortex. It gave them an extremely bad feeling.


    The moment the huge space carrier exploded, Wu Mo''s eyes were extremely sharp.


    He immediately noticed that there were pieces of metal fragments falling from the explosion.


    There wereplicated circuits on these fragments. Clearly, this was the core technology of the advanced spaceship.


    "Hurry up and fix it! Each piece could be precious!" Wu Mo''s voice boomed through themunicator.


    China''s spaceship immediately shot out like an arrow. It pounced on the metal fragments floating in space and took them.


    The battle in space gradually came to an end amidst the thunderous rumbles.

 Chapter 606 New Research And Development Concept, Solve The Problem Of Insufficient Energy

    The star field before him was already in ruins. The once mighty spaceship had almost been destroyed.


    As for the Dark Star life forms that attempted to invade, they had long been sted into dust by the dark matter rays.


    In such a confrontation betweenary civilizations, no life could escape.


    China''s two spaceships were also destroyed in this battle, and it paid a huge price for its actions.


    The research and development of those spaceships not only cost a huge amount of money but also a shocking amount of energy.


    However, victory was victory. It brought not only cheers but also hope.


    Wu Mo had been standing in themand center for a long time.


    The end of the battle made him feel as if his body had been sucked dry, and an indescribable sense of weakness assaulted him.


    "Director Wu, you need to take care of yourself!"


    The people beside him immediately supported him.


    Wu Mo nodded at them and smiled, "I''ll go and get some rest."


    Then, he left themand center.


    He knew that someone would take care of everything after the war.


    The military would handle it, and the professionals within theary Alliance would also extract something beneficial to mankind from this war.


    Wu Mo would study the collected modulester. Now, he just wanted to have a good sleep.


    His phone was full of missed calls, but he was not in the mood to look at them. He just wanted to find a quiet ce and rest.


    The moment he fell asleep, he saw a magical potion.


    Consuming it couldpletely eliminate fatigue and greatly strengthen one''s cells.


    This meant that upon taking this magical potion, one''s desire for sleep would be greatly reduced.


    The human biological clock that used to take a day to recharge might change to three days, four days, or even five days.


    More amazingly, it would absolutely not cause any harm to one''s cells!


    The birth of this drug would undoubtedly be the best news for workaholics.


    However, when Wu Mo woke up, he realized that it was just a dream.


    Nevertheless, this dream was like a ball of fire burning in his heart. It was driving him to make ite true.


    "Isn''t the purpose of a dream to be realized?" Wu Mo immediately activated the system''s store.


    He realized that after a war on the global scale, the items in the store had also been significantly updated.


    That potion he had seen in his dream actually existed!


    This potion was named the Energy Enhancement Potion. After consumption, the human body would no longer crave sleep as much as before. One could go without sleep for three days.


    That was only the most basic effect.


    If he consumed the upgraded version, he could even sleep once every ten days or even once a month!


    At that level, sleep would not bring any more benefits to humans, and not sleeping would not cause any physical harm.


    It might sound like a fool''s dream, and some people might doubt it. After all, sleeping was, in a way, a kind of enjoyment and happiness.


    However, everyone had their own choices.


    Those who were willing toplete their unfinished business in their dreams could, of course, choose to continue sleeping.


    As for workaholics, they could use this drug and work hard for their goals and lives. Therefore, Wu Mo decided to buy the rights to invent this potion!


    The first energy serum appeared before him like a transparent ss.


    He knew that after he consumed the liquid in this bottle, he would not need to sleep for three days.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    He would not feel any fatigue, and he would be energetic as though he had a normal day''s sleep. Moreover, there would not be any side effects.


    To verify this amazing invention, Wu Mo would naturally be the first test subject. He swallowed the transparent potion, and in an instant, he felt a strong surge of vitality in his body.


    The feeling of fatigue disappeared without a trace, and it was reced by an endless amount of energy.


    With the potion''s help, Wu Mo immediately rushed to themand center to observe the mysterious modules captured in the depths of space.


    The modules were all severely damaged. However, he could see their original patterns after he cleaned them up.


    Complex circuit boards were connected to each other on these modules.


    They represented valuable information from a''s advanced civilization.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, the path andplexyout of these integrated circuits are worthy of an in-depth study!" one of the researchers said excitedly.


    Wu Mo nodded. However, he was also concerned about the metal material of the integrated board itself.


    He touched the material with his hand and could feel that its hardness was far beyond ordinary.


    Compared to the previously developed alloy, this material was superior in toughness and conductivity.


    Therefore, Wu Mo decided to make use of the integrated board''s metalposition to analyze its simtion refining technology. Then, he would try to synthesize this metal on arge scale.


    Currently, Wu Mo had two important tasks that needed to be carried out immediately.


    First of all, he needed to develop this alloy because in the near future, humans might need to travel further into deep space.


    Without this high-performance metal as the foundation, humanity''s spaceships would not be able to achieve a leap forward.


    Only with high-performance spaceships could humans explore higher and farther.


    Second of all, he needed to conduct more studies on the energy serum.


    If humans needed to move to another, it would require a huge amount of energy.


    With energy serums, human productivity and efficiency would be greatly improved.


    ...The preliminary development of the energy serum ended up being sessful.


    The first batch of a hundred bottles required a hundred test subjects to try them out.


    After Wu Mo tried the potion himself, he assured everyone that he only needed to sleep normally once.


    In about eight hours, he would be able to recover all the energy and physical strength he had expended in the past three days.


    The people who heard the news were in awe. "Unbelievable! How is this possible?"


    "Chief Engineer Wu, are you kidding us?" a researcher eximed. "You only need three days of sleep? Don''t you feel tired?"


    "Once you try this potion, you''ll understand its secrets," Wu Mo replied indifferently.


    His mysterious tone aroused great curiosity. Although they hade into contact with all kinds of magical potions, they had never set foot on this unique field.


    They were filled with anticipation and even a little excitement when they thought about not having to sleep after consuming the potion.


    These one hundred test subjects were all workaholics. They had created amazing records in their respective fields.


    One of them had a record of not sleeping for seven days and seven nights in a row. Yet, he could still fight on the front lines.


    This amazing record earned him the title of "workaholic."


    Seeing Wu Mo''s arrival, the test subjects were extremely excited.


    They had missed the opportunity to experiment with the four great potions. Now that they could experience this energy serum for the first time, everyone felt extremely honored.


    The potion had finally appeared. What was inside the hundred transparent ss bottles?


    They all looked on curiously and doubtfully.


    Did the bottle only contain ordinary water?

 Chapter 607 Everyone Can Become A Workaholic

    They opened the bottles one by one and began to consume the energy serum inside.


    "Rx, don''t be nervous. Try to ept it¡­ Just treat it as in water!" Wu Mo said calmly.


    Hearing Wu Mo''s voice, everyone''s mind naturally rxed as if his words had added endless trust to this potion.


    After taking the medicine, the one hundred subjects were observed in the observation room for six hours. In just six hours, they could return to their jobs without worrying about any side effects.


    "Mr. Wu, I have a question." A volunteer known as the "workaholic" suddenly spoke.


    "Please speak," Wu Mo replied calmly. He already had a premonition of his next question.


    Sure enough, the workaholic thought for a moment before throwing out his question.


    "Mr. Wu, is it possible to create a drug that can support longer working hours? For example, sleeping once every ten days or once a month?"


    The people present had yet to leave. When they heard this question, they all gasped.


    They were all thinking, Is this person crazy?


    Even if there was a potion that could eliminate fatigue and make you not sleep for such a long time, was sleeping not something enjoyable?


    If one abandoned such a wonderful thing and worked non-stop like a machine, how would one find meaning in life?


    However, Wu Mo understood that everyone had their own choices. If this workaholic felt that work was his life, then he would definitely feel that it was worth it.


    Life was just an experience. The most important thing was to pursue what you liked!


    Some people liked to sleep, so they could naturally choose not to take this potion and sleep all day and night.


    "Don''t worry," Wu Mo replied affirmatively. "The upgraded version of this potion will be released soon. At that time, it would be possible to sleep for ten days, or even thirty days."


    "Thank you, Mr. Wu!" After hearing Wu Mo''s answer, the workaholic was obviously surprised. Joy shed across his eyes.


    He turned around and went back to work with the other test subjects.


    Not long after, the first experiment was announced to be a sess. The subjects only needed a short rest for three days and did not require any sleep.


    Some people even deliberately locked themselves in a quiet room and yed rxing music.


    They tried all kinds of hypnosis methods, but they found that they were not sleepy at all because their bodies were full of vitality.


    In the end, they could only y with their phones in bed for more than ten hours. This convinced them that the energy serum could really dispel all the fatigue in their bodies without any side effects.


    Three dayster, they went to the hospital for aprehensive examination. From their blood routine to blood pressure function, everything was normal.


    This proved that the sleepless days had a positive impact on them.


    Now that the trials were a huge sess, Wu Mo could finally announce that the energy serum would be promoted to the whole world.


    It was different from the previous four potions. It was more like an ordinary medicine that could be chosen.


    Life First, Life Second, the Biological Regeneration Agent, and the Ultimate Restoration Potion all had a significant positive impact on the human body.


    Therefore, they only poprized it in China at first, and then promoted it to the whole world.


    But this time, the situation with the energy serum was different.


    People all over the world could choose to buy this potion and use it to work more actively.


    They could also choose not to buy it and enjoy life better. They could also enjoy the pleasure andfort of sleeping.


    This choice was naturally the right of the Chinese. They enjoyed the same rights as the rest of the world.


    Such power was equal, there was no difference.


    Therefore, on China''s official website for potion purchase, five hundred bottles of the Energy Enhancement Potion became a line of eye-catching words.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    There were still some leftover stock of the four great potions, but no one bought them.


    The appearance of the new product naturally attracted the attention of many people. "Look, what is this?"


    "It''s an energy serum! After consuming one bottle, there would be no fatigue for three days, and there would be no side effects!"


    "Heavens, doesn''t this mean that we won''t have to sleep at all?"


    "I guess they will definitely have an upgraded version in the future. When ites, we''ll be able to stay awake for a longer period of time. That would be too heaven-defying!"


    "Come on, what''s so good about this potion? Isn''t sleeping blissful? Why are you forcing yourself not to sleep?"


    At this moment, many people raised their objections.


    There were also people who questioned why Wu Mo wanted to create such a drug. What was he trying to aplish?


    They doubted his intentions.


    However, this potion was just a sudden idea that Wu Mo came up with after he woke up. He just exchanged it from the system''s store.


    The true significance of the energy serum was not its far-reaching strategic value.


    Instead, it provided a possibility, a possibility that made people more motivated in their work.


    You could choose to have it, or you could choose to give it up.


    Hence, it was not as expensive as other potions. It only sold for ten thousand yuan per bottle.


    Ordinaryborers might not be able to earn ten thousand yuan back in three days, so most of them might not buy it.


    However, for the bosses of bigpanies, CEOs of listedpanies, and core figures in various fields, this was a different algorithm.


    They might need toplete an important task in three days at a critical moment.


    Without this potion, they might have to sacrifice their own wellbeing to finish the job.


    However, with the energy serum, they could stillplete the mission without suffering any side effects.


    This ten-thousand-yuan potion might even be more than it was worth.


    Under this premise, although there were few people who bought the potion, every buyer was an elite of society.


    Wu Mo was not disappointed when he received the first day''s sales report.


    Only five hundred people had bought it, and the total profit was five million.


    The cost of this potion in the system''s store was negligible, so Wu Mo did not have high expectations.


    To Wu Mo, the most important thing was to deduce the alloy smelting technique from the metalposition.


    He had already mastered a kind of alloy refining technique that used an indiscriminate screening method.


    This technology allowed him to extract a crucial material for building a spaceship.


    Now, he needed to derive the second alloy refining technique to make this ship even more advanced.


    Five dayster, Wu Mo and his team finally mastered the core technology of the extraction process.


    In the past five days, they had consumed two bottles of energy serum, whichpletely dispelled their fatigue. They only slept once.


    "Mr. Wu, this energy serum is beyond amazing. If we didn''t have this potion, we might have given up in the middle of our research!" A researcher could not help but sigh.


    In the process of researching this technology, they had suffered endless setbacks during their darkest moment. Their hope had withered like autumn leaves.


    Their exhausted bodies and the frustration in their hearts were like two heavy hills that almost crushed them.

 Chapter 608 Exploring An Unknown Planet

    With this magical potion, everyone was recharged. Their fatigue was dispelled, and their spirits were refreshed.


    Therefore, they took a deep breath, stepped forward with courage, andpletely broke through this technical barrier.


    After he mastered the alloy refining technology, Wu Mo immediately instructed the relevant agencies to apply the technology to metal refining.


    Therge-scale refining nt was ready, and there were spaceships responsible for the mining ahead.


    They would transport the basic metal materials back to the and extract the important alloy from it.


    Although the entire process was expected to take a month, Wu Mo was not in a hurry.


    After careful consideration, he concluded that Dark Star currently did not have the strength to attack the humans.


    The fleet of spaceships that they had sent out before was almost as powerful as the ones that had attacked Fita.


    In other words, their most powerful attack had been against Fita.


    This allowed Wu Mo to gain insight into the way the Dark Starlings did things: No matter what kind of enemy they faced, they would go all out and leave no regrets.


    Their attitude toward humans was like that of a lion hunting a rabbit. Although they regarded human civilization as inferior, they prepared sufficiently.


    However, they did not expect the oue.


    One day, the observatory made a major discovery and immediately reported the news to theary Alliance.


    Upon receiving the news, the important figures rushed over.


    Wu Mo and the old chief walked into another country''s astronomical research base.


    The starry sky slowly unfolded on a screen. It was so dazzling and vast that people yearned for it.


    In a corner of the star map, there was a tiny dot of light.


    It reflected the light from other stars and emitted a faint green color, which shocked everyone present.


    "My God, this is shocking. What is this? someone could not help but exim.


    At this moment, the head astrologer in the country could not hide his excitement.


    He pushed up his gold-rimmed sses and slowly pointed a ck metal rod at the green dot on the screen.


    "Everyone, what you are seeing now is a that is only about a billion kilometers away from human civilization. We gave it a name¡ªEternal Sun." His voice was solemn and majestic.


    "What?! Eternal Sun?" It struck everyone''s hearts like thunder.


    They all secretly spected how Eternal Sun had been discovered.


    The head astrologer continued, "Eternal Sun is an ordinary, but under the illumination of another star, a miracle has urred. It has given birth to natural life."


    "What? Natural life? How is that possible?" Hearing the words "natural life," everyone felt as if they had been electrocuted, and they became excited.


    The appearance of life meant that this could possibly give birth to a civilization!


    However, they were unable to determine the level of the life forms'' evolution on the.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    "Continue!" a leader of another country calmly instructed.


    The expert in astronomy nodded and added, "Preliminary detection shows that life on this consists of some ordinary animals and nts. There are no advanced intelligent life forms."


    At this moment, Wu Mo and the others finally understood that it was a primitive. It was like Earth millions of years ago. There were only some elementary life forms and no creatures with high-intelligence.


    "Everyone, this contains endless potential. If we can develop this, it will bring great benefits to the entire human world. Perhaps, in the future, we will use this ce as a base and create another paradise suitable for human survival."


    As soon as the astrologer finished speaking, there was a bigmotion.


    The people there discussed it fervently and felt that this had endless potential.


    Due to development, human civilization had fallen into a predicament in many aspects.


    If they wanted topletely change the human civilization''s current state, they would have to ovee great challenges.


    However, if they were to develop on a primitive, apply existing technology, and carry out aprehensive n, they might be able to create a brand-new, perfect civilized.


    They had dark matter, anti-matter, controble nuclear fusion, and other advanced technologies.


    Once all of this was applied to the, its civilization would rapidly soar in a short period of time and reach an astonishing height.


    Everyone''s eyes lit up at this thought. They were filled with anticipation and excitement. However, Wu Mo stood up at this moment and raised his doubts. "A billion kilometers is actually not that far. Are there other civilizations within this range, or is this a huge trap?"


    Wu Mo''s question instantly extinguished everyone''s enthusiasm like a bucket of cold water.


    Yes, if civilizations also discovered this, would they be their target?


    As they attempted to conquer and transform news, they needed to ensure their own safety, or else everything would be for naught.


    Wu Mo had just experienced a great battle ande out victorious. Therefore, that was one aspect he would always consider.


    The other countries never had such an intense experience, so this issue did not ur to them. The astrologer and the leader of his countryfrowned deeply.


    Obviously, they had not considered this problem. Wu Mo''s question had put them in a tough position.


    The astrologer slowly said, "Mr. Wu has raised a good point. Despite our country''s astronomical technology, we are unable to determine whether there''s an advanced civilization around this."


    He looked a little troubled. It was obvious that they were limited by technology and that they could not solve this problem.


    However, some other countries present could do it. China, for example, was the best in the field, and no one couldpare to it.


    "In that case, let us send out our space probes first. We''ll do a carpet search and scan the entire. Once we confirm that it''s safe, we''ll proceed with thending. Does anyone have any objections?"


    The old chief''s voice was calm and firm. His tone was filled with confidence.


    After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent. No one raised any objections. Who dared to question China''s decision?


    Once China made it clear that they were going to make a move, which country had the audacity to boast that they could do better?


    Therefore, Wu Mo and the old chief took on this important task on China''s behalf during the international conference.


    They would be the first batch of representatives tond on Eternal Sun. The first thing to do was ensure the''s safety. The next step was topletely mine and modify it.

 Chapter 609 Power Struggle Over The Planet Of Resourses

    At this moment, all the countries in the world saw the sign that China was about to take the lead in the world again!


    A small country had identally discovered the important new. Unfortunately, the people did not have the technology to mine the, so they had no choice but to announce the news to the world.


    Were they reluctant about it because they yearned to upy the primitive that was extremely suitable for modification and development?


    Yes, but they also understood that if someone else discovered it first, there was nothing they could do. They might as well make it public immediately and be good-natured about it.


    At least in the future, they would be remembered as the first country to discover Eternal Sun.


    Among all theirpetitors, none was stronger than China. In the end, this huge project fell into China''s hands, so it won the chance to develop Eternal Sun first.


    After returning to China, the old chief and Wu Mo immediately split up. Wu Mo was in charge of technical support, while the old chief was in charge ofmunicating with the higher-ups and making this project a high-priority one.


    They would do their best to ensure the''s safety.


    After that, China would send out spaceships tond and explore the.


    If everything went smoothly, Wu Mo estimated that it would take half a year at most.


    China would raise its g and leave its mark on the.


    With that, China''s satellite shot up into the sky like an arrow and flew toward the mysterious Eternal Sun.


    It was an unknown world that humans had yet to ess. It was filled with endless possibilities and mysteries.


    Not long after, news came from the front line and perked everyone up.


    "We have arrived within Eternal Sun''s orbit. Please give us your orders."


    This probe ship was an upgraded version of the spaceship, the pinnacle of human technology.


    At this moment, Wu Mo and a group of world-ss astrologers and scientists were gathered on the base.


    They were observing everything in front of them closely, like hunters staring at their prey.


    They would use the eighteen panoramic surveince cameras to scan Eternal Sun''s surroundings in real time.


    They were looking for unknown factors that might threaten mankind.


    If they discovered an advanced civilization, they would have to consider whether or not humanity should continue to develop and modify Eternal Sun.


    Data showed that things on the were very calm. There did not seem to be anything worth paying attention to.


    However, Wu Mo''s eyes were sharp. He suddenly noticed something strange about Eternal Sun''s orbit!


    "Wait, this isn''t right¡­ Why didn''t the previous country discover this?"


    Wu Mo''s confusion revealed a trace of vignce.


    If the other country had already discovered this, why did they not say anything? Based on its organizational structure, theary Alliance had been a monolith. After the great interster war, theary Alliance was now more like a superpower.


    No one would do anything to destroy its unity at a time like this!


    Thus, Wu Mo concluded that the small country''s technology was not advanced enough to discover any strange phenomenon in the''s orbit, but China''s advanced technology was sufficient.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, what does this mean?" a researcher slowly asked.


    He was Wu Mo''s personal assistant. He recorded all the results of Wu Mo''s research carefully, and he was passionate about learning as well as exploring.


    Therefore, he improved at an astonishing speed, especially after he started working with Wu Mo.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    In this short period, the growth of his knowledge surpassed all the knowledge he had umted from before!


    Right then, his question cut through Wu Mo''s thoughts like a knife. Wu Mo pondered for a moment, and one could see the deep thoughts in his eyes.


    Then, he calmly said, "Everyone here may be more knowledgeable about this than I am, but I personally suspect that there may be unstable particle storms and intense radiation in the orbit. We may have to actuallynd and take samples before we can determine whether our modifications will suit this."


    Wu Mo''s spection was urate. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle''s.


    Although different countries had already confirmed the existence of life forms on Eternal Sun, they were still not sure if humans could survive.


    However, before field exploration, who could be sure that these life forms were the same as the creatures they were familiar with?


    In their world, all life, be it humans or other creatures, was carbon-based.


    However, the universe was so vast that no one could be sure that there were no silicon-based life forms, oxide-based life forms, or other types of life forms.


    This was a long-existing view, so humans had to ept the cruel reality that Eternal Sun might not be suitable for human habitation.


    After three days and nights of observation, China''s astronomical system determined that there were no others within ten light-years of Eternal Sun.


    This meant that humans could develop and modify it first. In deep space, who could tell which territory belonged to whom? However, humans were the first to discover Eternal Sun, and they did not detect any other living beings within a ten-light-year radius.


    That was enough to give humans the right to develop the first.


    If other civilizations came to invade this territory, they would undoubtedly be considered invaders!


    When China announced the good news, the entireary Alliance boiled with excitement.


    Everyone knew that they would fully exploit the in the future.


    "Mr. Wu, our country should also have the right to mine it, right? China would not monopolize this project, would it?" one of the leaders of a country asked aggressively.


    He had a cunning smile. Although his face was still gentle, it hid something much more sinister.


    Others were worried that China would monopolize this grand development project.


    However, Wu Mo did not have such intentions, and China''s leaders felt the same way too.


    As a military representative, the old chief calmly said, "Don''t worry, everyone. The project to develop Eternal Sun is huge. China does not have the capacity or desire to monopolize it."


    Like the spring breeze, his words blew away the doubts in everyone''s hearts.


    Hearing the old chief''s clear statement, the rest no longer felt heavyhearted.


    In the time that followed, discussions about Eternal Sun''s development abounded.


    "First, we''ll send out tenrge spaceships to transport all the necessary resources and mining equipment to Eternal Sun. Then, we''ll begin mining."


    The old chief expressed the firm determination of China''s upper echelon and gave others some insight into their ns.


    After the representatives of other countries heard everything, they secretly recorded the information and prepared to follow suit.


    As for Wu Mo, he became the engineer of this grand project and led the mining on Eternal Sun.


    His mission was extremely important because Eternal Sun was an unfamiliar.


    Who knew what kind of treasures it hid?

 Chapter 610 The Power Of The Superalloy Tunneling Machine

    The mining process would definitely be full of challenges. Without technical support from Wu Mo, China and even the entire world would not be confident enough about it.


    In a live stream, people watched with excitement as twentyrge spaceships slowly rose into the sky.


    They carried the dreams of humankind as they headed toward Eternal Sun, which was only a billion kilometers away!


    "Look! Those are spaceships from China. They''re carrying mining equipment and basic resources in preparation to transform the other!"


    Audience members from all over the world stared at their screens.


    The huge spaceships stirred up a sense of longing in their hearts.


    Some people wondered, ''Does this mean that our desire to migrate to outer space will be a reality?''


    They did not know that the interior of the twenty ships were loaded with advanced mining equipment that had been invented by Wu Mo.


    This was their secret weapon. It would prove valuable on an unknown.


    After the shipnded on Eternal Sun, Wu Mo personally hosted the global livestream conference.


    The conference wouldst for more than twenty hours and showcase therge-scale mining facilities in great detail.


    The eyes of the entire world were focused on the new. Everyone wanted to know what was going on.


    A press conference like this was rare even in mankind''s long history.


    However, the press conference would undoubtedly be a great test of Wu Mo''s physical and mental strength.


    Everyone felt nervous for him, and some even began to bet on whether he couldst the entire journey.


    However, at this moment, the energy serum came to the forefront.


    Wu Mo drank a bottle of elementary energy serum without hesitation before his global audience.


    His movements were sharp and filled with confidence. After drank the serum, he would not feel tired for three days, let alone a mere twenty hours.


    Right then, Wu Mo''s actions seemed to open a magical door.


    On the official website, five thousand bottles of energy serum were sold in an instant. His disy was hailed as one of the most sensational advertisements in the world.


    However, Wu Mo did not realize that his small act had such a huge impact.


    As the press conference went on, everyone stared at their screens and saw the twenty spaceships slowlynd and get to work.


    They chose a t terrain that could withstand storms and unknown particle currents.


    The long-range detection satellite had surveyed the location thoroughly before the spaceshipsnded. After the first spaceship chose a spot, its hatch slowly opened.


    Fully automated robots began to drive the first set of equipment for underground mining facilities.


    They saw a piece ofrge mining equipment and learned that their working area was several dozen meters underground.


    When therge mining equipment began to drill into the ground, it shocked everyone and grabbed their attention.


    Therge mining equipment on the spaceship began its work.


    This was the beginning of mankind''s mining journey on another.


    "Look! It''s started digging! We still don''t know what Eternal Sun''s soilposition is!" an excited voice rang out.


    "Is there a need to ask? The soil of a that can give birth to life must be no different from the soil on our!" another voice retorted.


    "Don''t be so sure. I heard that there are only low-level life forms on this. There are no advanced life forms like us!" someone else joined the discussion.


    "Sigh, if only I could personally operate that mining equipment!" someone said with envy.


    Among the audience watching the live stream, many were shocked by Wu Mo''s high technology, and they deeply admired China''s technological strength.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    Wu Mo then began to introduce the equipment in detail.


    "What you''re seeing now is the superalloy tunneling machine. It can dig tunnels without any resistance even when it encounters hard metal at a depth of five hundred meters!"


    His words surprised everyone.


    Superalloy tunneling machine? The name gave everyone goosebumps.


    They were no strangers to tunnel boring machines, which weremonly used in modern tunnel and submarine pipeline construction.


    However, this superalloy tunneling machine shocked people like never before.


    Then, they saw another surprising scene.


    Controlled by the small robot, the superalloy tunneling machine began to dig crazily.


    Sizzle¡­


    There was a row of glinting des that were densely packed at the front of the huge drill. They looked extremely sharp and intimidating.


    "Look! Those des are terrifying. Our country couldn''t have produced such des!" Someone sighed in the livestream chat.


    Only a few people knew that the des'' metal synthesis technology had also been created by Wu Mo.


    This material could not be found on their.


    Such a solid alloy could only be found in the boundless universe.


    Like the fangs of a hungry wolf, the des crushed the soil, hard stones, and unfamiliar metals deep underground as they pushed forward without any resistance.


    Then, the speed of the superalloy tunneling machine began to increase.


    Kacha kacha...


    It did not matter what was hidden underground; it could not stop this terrible machine.


    In the blink of an eye, it dug a tunnel that was a hundred meters deep underground.


    The ten-meter-wide tunnel was proof of the humans'' ability to mine the.


    "We n to dig about ten tunnels in this t area," Wu Mo continued. "Then, we will collect preliminary geological samples. Once we analyze the samples''position, we will begin building the ground facilities."


    Wu Mo''s words shook the entire world.


    China''s progress was as fast as lightning. If they could not keep up, they might fall behind the times.


    Therefore, while the leaders of the world were watching the live stream, they urged their research institutions to start production ording to the model of the superalloy drill and shield tunneling machine as soon as possible, and to speed up preparations for the construction ofrge spaceships.


    These countries had also made some achievements in the aerospace field.


    However,pared to China, there was still a huge gap.


    Now, some countries had already developedrge spaceships.


    In the near future, they nned to send these ships to Eternal Sun for mining.


    At this crucial moment, Eternal Sun had already been conquered by China. Every country hoped to have a ce in this newnd.


    However, some countries were extremely anxious. Theycked sufficient technical support and could only rely on the technology of other countries.


    Such dependence might cause them to be unable to achieve true progress and development for a long time.


    But now, they had no time to worry about this. They only wanted to develop arge spaceship as quickly as possible and transport the mining equipment to Eternal Sun. If they missed this critical period, they would not be able to share any benefits when the mining process stabilized.


    Following Wu Mo''s deep and powerful exnation, viewers from all over the world nervously and busily recorded every detail. It was as if they could find the key to changing the future in that short meeting.

 Chapter 611 The Power Of Infrastructure Madness

    On the big screen, a few spaceships were standing tall like giant whales, releasing superalloy tunneling machines that shone with cold light.


    Then, the ten tunneling machines pierced into the ground from different angles and began their exploration journey.


    Kaz! Kaz!


    They sped underground like giant dragons. Ten tunnels extended silently and then suddenly changed directions, digging deep underground.


    When people realized that their exploration depth had already reached a hundred meters, everyone was shocked.


    Even on the where humans lived, this was a depth that very few technologies could reach.


    However, Wu Mo understood that he wanted to mine for a long time on Eternal Sun.


    They had to take samples at least a hundred meters deep to understand the''s geological structure andposition.


    Therefore, a tunneling machine sent some soil samples up.


    These samples were transported back to the human by a small return spacecraft for emergency analysis and research.


    An hourter, the small spacecraft sessfullynded. The Chinese researchers immediately threw themselves into intense analysis and research.


    Two hourster, the basicposition of the soil sample was analyzed.


    The results of the analysis showed that the soil structure below five hundred meters was extremely solid.


    There was also ayer of soil on the surface that was suitable for biological growth, and its fertility was even beyond expectations.


    Wu Mo immediately understood that this waspletely suitable for them to mine and construct.


    "Everyone," he announced excitedly, "I have good news to tell you. Next, China will send out ten superrge civilian spaceships to transport some basic construction materials and build a small castle!"


    When this news came out, the whole world was shocked. "What? China is starting to build houses?"


    "China, they are mad about infrastructure!"


    The inte around the world was filled with such voices.


    "They will now show us their best technology!"


    A wave of sighs and sorrowful voices suddenly sounded.


    "Our country is still far from building such a spaceship. How can we transport all the equipment up there?"


    "Hmph, so what if you have a spaceship? Can youpare to China''s superalloy tunneling machine?"


    Netizens from all over the world were terrified for their own country. They felt that they were far behind China.


    As for China, in order to ensure their safety, they even sent out some dark matter spaceships to escort them in case they were suddenly attacked by an unknown civilization.


    Other than that, a few countries with strong aviation capabilities also sent outrge spaceships to transport mining equipment to Eternal Sun.


    Then, some countries began to im that they had developed a tool for digging tunnels that was not inferior to China''s superalloy tunneling machine.


    As soon as this voice was heard, a portion of the poprity of the press conference hosted by Wu Mo was immediately attracted away.


    The person in charge of that country said with certainty that theirrge-scale tunnel-digging equipment was independently developed by a group of genius experts in the country. It was called an unobstructed excavator.


    The excavator could dig the tunnel while transporting all the waste and soil to the rear. He only needed to dispose of all the soil and waste materials at the end of the tunnel.


    Its working efficiency was even higher than that of a shield tunneling machine. However, the post-processing time was greatly reduced.


    "How is this possible? Could it be that their excavator was stronger than China''s superalloy tunneling machines?"


    A Chinese researcher saw the statement of the country''s head and could not help but reveal a puzzled expression.


    However, Wu Mo immediately sneered in disdain.


    He said without hesitation, "I can tell you clearly that, at least in the current level of human technology, the superalloy tunneling machine is unmatched. No one can match it in digging tunnels!"<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    Wu Mo''s voice was loud and clear, filled with confidence.


    This wasn''t empty talk. The high-tech technology that he had spent the equivalent of Life Second''s points to purchase from the system''s store wasn''t something that ordinary people could imagine.


    To describe this superalloy tunneling machine as an infrastructure maniac was a bit childish. How could the group of so-called genius experts in that country bepared to them?


    Wu Mo had already made a rough estimation. The so-called excavator was just a small modification of low-level excavation technology. It was not worth mentioning at all.


    He already understood that the lifespan of that kind of excavator was extremely limited. It would probably be scrapped before it could dig about a hundred meters.


    At that time, how many spaceships would they have and how many of these machines could they transport? However, he did not intend to say it out loud.


    After all, he still had to consider the unity of the entireary Alliance.


    Subsequently, arge number of viewers were attracted to watch the live broadcast of the excavator, and the traffic of Wu Mo''s press conference was reduced by half.


    "Look, the excavator is starting to move!" The audience from some countries were excited. They were looking forward to seeing the strength of the excavator developed by their own countries.


    On the screen, the excavator began to dig underground. Its goal was to dig a tunnel about five hundred meters long.


    With this, they could defeat China''s superalloy tunneling machines.


    "Attention everyone, the excavator is about to start working!"


    The representative of this country was very emotional.


    Wu Mo couldn''t bear to see this representative''s proud expression, so he decided to see how the excavator performed.


    He had also considered making such an excavator.


    But in the end, it waspletely abandoned in his n.


    The excavator began to work. The first 50 meters of digging speed was astonishing, giving many people a fright!


    Even some of China''s infrastructure fans started to worry.


    Would their superalloy tunneling machines be surpassed?


    However, seeing that Wu Mo was still calmly hosting the press conference, their confidence was restored.


    At this time, although it had been ten hours since the press conference, Wu Mo was still in high spirits and did not show the slightest sign of fatigue.


    This greatly increased people''s trust in the energy serum.


    During the entire press conference, the sales volume of the energy serum skyrocketed, and another two thousand bottles were sold.


    Although the price of the potion was only ten thousand yuan per bottlepared to the other four great potions, it was not worth mentioning.


    However, the fact that it could sell in such arge number was enough to show that it had great potential!


    On the screen, when the excavator reached a depth of fifty meters, its speed slowed down significantly.


    This made the person in charge of that country anxious.


    "D*mn it, what''s going on?" he roared. Why did its speed be so slow? Did you cut corners when developing this excavator?"


    His voice shook the research department, and the chief engineer smiled bitterly.


    "No, it''s not like that. We made it strictly ording to the design drawings.


    "In theory, this excavator should be able to surpass the superalloy tunneling machine."


    Hearing this, the national director''s anger eased a little.


    However, the digging speed of the excavator was getting slower and slower. One could almost say that it was staggering.


    Ten minutes had passed, and the group from the Central ins did not move a single step forward. At least, on the screen, it was still in the same position.

 Chapter 612 The Terrifying Power Of Fundamental Construction

    After half an hour, the digging machine finally dug out one meter of the "Holy Grail" with difficulty.


    At this rate, it would probably take them a few days to reach their goal!


    This was obviously impossible. Otherwise, the excavator would have lost its original vision.


    The audienceughed.


    "Haha, what a joke! How can this machinepare to the superalloy tunneling machine?!"


    "That''s right. I even paid special attention to them. If I had known earlier, I wouldn''t have gone to watch them. The live broadcast here is even more exciting!"


    "Sigh, China is still the ultimate infrastructure maniac, especially with its shield tunneling machine. No other excavation equipment can bepared to them."


    Arge group of people returned to Wu Mo''s press conference, and his traffic increased rapidly.


    On the other hand, the country''s live broadcast was extremely miserable.


    Their excavator was stuck and could not move.


    It was estimated that there was a hard material simr to granite in front of it, causing the head of the excavator to bepletely stuck.


    No matter if he retreated or advanced, he couldn''t move at all.


    There was even a trace of green smoke rising, which highlighted that the safety mechanism of the excavator had beenpletely scrapped.


    "Hahaha, they''re so happy. Look, their faces are as ck as the bottom of a pot!"


    At this moment, someone could not help but start mocking him.


    Helplessly, the head of the country and everyone in the research department, including the chief engineer, had their faces turn darker than the bottom of a pot.


    They had once announced that the new excavator would surpass the superalloy drill shield tunneling machine in terms of excavation speed.


    At that time, themotion attracted the attention of countless people. Many people even had high expectations for them.


    However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.


    When the excavator stopped working, they only faced ridicule and condemnation from all directions.


    Therefore, the country immediately cut off the live broadcast and hurriedly sent people to pull out the excavator.


    At this moment, the only thing in everyone''s mind was the superalloy drill shield tunneling machine.


    The ten tunnels had beenpleted, and under Wu Mo''smand, a series of supplies had been transported out from therge civilian spaceships.


    The alloy steel tes, steel structure materials, and even arge bag of cement in front of them were shocking.


    "Oh, my god, has China''s base started building houses? "someone eximed.


    That''s right, Wu Mo had already started to take action. This was also one of China''s best tricks.


    There was enough oxygen on this to support some workers working normally.


    Wu Mo had even thoughtfully designed an advanced protective suit for them that could block the harmful gases that Eternal Sun could produce.


    The data showed that the pressure and gravity on Eternal Sun were not much different from Earth, so they did not have to worry about strength at all.


    There were about 300 volunteers in the first batch.


    These people hade voluntarily, and each of them had superb skills in construction.


    Some of them were masons, some were steel workers, and some were designers who were good at overallmand andyout.


    The scene was like a prosperous city, bustling with talents of all kinds. Their skills could build a few grand skyscrapers!


    This time, the construction process was almost semi-automated. People did not need to work too hard and could easily participate.


    Ten hours passed, and Wu Mo''s press conference was like a magnificent symphony, with thest note.


    The image on the screen gradually blurred and then sharpened.


    It was a group of Chinese workers with superb skills.


    They and some construction tools were building their future home.


    Their blood and sweat are the most dazzling light on this.


    Eternal Sun also had a cycle of day and night.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    Without all of these, there would be no way to give birth to low-level life, nor would there be any way to give birth to the wonders of the four seasons and the ebb and flow of the tides.


    When the night falls, all the Chinese people work together, throw out thepressed tent from behind, and simply open it, and thefortable home will be in front of you.


    Although the press conference hosted by Wu Mo had alreadye to an end.


    However, under the enthusiasm and anticipation of the audience, China decided to change their mind at thest minute.


    They were going to broadcast the mining and construction process of Eternal Sun in real-time to the entire world!


    This way, no matter when and where, people could see the mining process and progress of Fortune Zao.


    Wu Mo did not pay attention to these things in the following days. Instead, he returned to the base and began to develop a higher-level energy serum.


    After the twenty-four-hour press conference, he had a deeper understanding of the broad prospects of the energy serum!


    Without the energy serum, he would not have been able to survive the twenty-hour press conference.


    Netizens all over the world wanted to see the mining process of Eternal Sun in real time.


    After all, this was a major event in human history, a rare opportunity for observation.


    However, watching for a long time made them feel tired and unable to stay awake.


    Therefore, if they could consume the energy serum, they would be able to resist the invasion of sleepiness and not miss any exciting moments.


    Therefore, Wu Mo introduced the upgraded version of the energy serum.


    This second-generation upgraded version of the potion was like a mysterious force that transcended time, increasing the effect of not needing sleep for three days to ten days.


    With just one consumption, people would no longer feel sleepy and need no sleep for the next ten days and nights.


    When this potion was made public, of course, someone needed to test it immediately.


    The first person to try it was a researcher in the Biology Research Institute.


    His recent work was like a huge mountain that was suffocating him. Even if he took the energy serum, he could barely hold on for three days.


    He loved his work and had an indescribable dedication to research.


    Now that he had a lot of work to do, he was like a sleepless owl, immersed in his research and never going home.


    Therefore, when he heard that Wu Mo had created a new medicine that could make people feel fatigued for ten days.


    His blood immediately boiled and he eagerly applied for the experiment.


    In the end, like a warrior about to go to war, he drank the potion without hesitation and immediately threw himself into the heavy work.


    Wu Mo looked at his crazy work attitude and sighed."Work is important, but life can''t be ignored."


    At this moment, the phone rang and a familiar voice came from the other end.


    "Wu Mo, let''s have dinner tonight. There are many dishes that you like."


    When Wu Mo heard this, he felt as if his heart was being illuminated by the warm sunlight. He had been busy with the war, the war to save the world, and Eternal Sun''s development. It was as if he had been running through a storm and had forgotten to stop and enjoy the beauty of life.


    "Okay, Dad, Mom. We''ll definitelye over tonight."


    In the live broadcast room, the foundation had already taken shape, and many workers were busy.


    They were as busy as ants and only needed toplete the foundation of the lowest level.


    The next main structure would be automated byrge-scale construction equipment. Precise algorithms would ensure that there was no deviation in the construction process.


    Wu Mo walked into his parents ''residence and could already smell the fragrance of the dishes.


    The moment he pushed open the door, a table of his favorite dishes appeared in front of him.


    In an instant, his heart was filled with a familiar warmth, and his eyes could not help but moisten.


    "Mom, let''s eat," he called softly."


    After saying that, he put down the nutritional and health supplements in his hands and sat around the dining table with his parents.


    The family''sughter echoed in the room.

 Chapter 613 Birth Of A New Generation

    Wu Mo''s mother smiled in satisfaction and handed him a piece of sweet and sour fish. "Wu Mo, try this. I remember that you liked this dish the most when you were young."


    Looking at Wu Mo now, her heart was filled contentment. With such a son, as a mother, what else could she look forward to?


    Wu Mo thought as he ate. These delicacies made him realize that no matter how technological civilization developed, the basic needs of the human body could not be ignored.


    The enjoyment of delicious food was actually a kind of happiness in life.


    If one day, the advancement of science and technology made it so that humans no longer needed to eat, it would be a great tragedy.


    Suddenly, Wu Mo''s heart skipped a beat. Was the Energy Serum that he had created that could make people sleep for up to ten days really a blessing?


    Perhaps in some aspects, this was also a w of civilization.


    However, Wu Mo had already made it clear that this potion was not apulsory purchase, but a free choice.


    Wu Mo continued to eat. The doubts in his heart had already subsided.


    He nned to continue researching and creating a Super Energy Serum that could allow a person to not need sleep for up to a month.


    This would greatly elerate the progress of human civilization.


    That was because people would be able to devote all the time they used to sleep to production and development.


    Would such a speed elerate the progress of the civilization of mankind by several times?


    After dinner, Wu Mo and his parents chatted while watching TV until his parents went to bed.


    However, Wu Mo secretly returned to the base because a researcher had sent him an urgent message and needed him to go there immediately.


    When he walked into the base, the situation on the big screen shocked him.


    On therge screen in front of them, the busy mining team had stopped their work.


    All of them had taken Energy Serums and were not tired at all.


    There was no other reason than that when they were mining on the surface, they discovered a mysterious little creature underground.


    This creature looked like the pangolin on the human. Its entire body was ck and its scales were hard, like a perfect armor.


    Its head was small, but its ws were sharp like the swords of a warrior.


    "Chief Wu, we found this low-level lifeform on Eternal Sun. What should we do next?"


    The voice of the person in charge of the construction team sounded through themunicator. It was filled with anticipation and curiosity.


    This discovery was undoubtedly shocking.


    In the vastness of the universe, other than those advanced civilizations, this was the first time humans had discovered a low-level creature.


    This creature, which was simr to the pangolin on Earth, was carefully protected and ced in a sturdy transparent ss cover. It was then brought back to Earth by a human spacecraft.


    At the research center, Wu Mo could see the creature from the distant Eternal Sun with his own eyes.


    What kind of secret was hidden in this little guy from a billion kilometers away?


    The biologists were also looking at it anxiously and excitedly.


    Once the news spread, the whole world was in an uproar.


    "Heavens, what kind of creature is that?"


    "The creatures of Eternal Sun look like pangolins!"


    "Pangolin? How could there be pangolins on that? You must be mistaken!"


    All kinds of questions and doubts rose and fell.


    Even though this little creature looked like a pangolin.


    However, Wu Mo knew very well that the gic sequence of the pangolin was more than forty percent different from that of the armadillo.


    It wasn''t a close rtive of the pangolin, but it looked simr on the surface.


    Moreover, the genes of this creature werepletely different from any other creature on Earth. It was a truly independent creature.


    What kind of chain reaction would this unknown creature cause when it came to Earth?


    The countries around the world were caught in a fierce debate.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    Some countries were firmly opposed to the introduction of such creatures into the human.


    They were worried about a disaster caused by an alien invasion.


    However, some other countries were optimistic about the possible benefits of this creature joining the Earth''s ecological chain. It might even trigger some kind of biological miracle.


    All kinds of opinions shed on the global public opinion field.


    Some people advocated releasing this little creature back to its original living environment.


    Some people were inclined to let this little creature continue to survive on the human.


    However, Wu Mo insisted on letting it return to Eternal Sun!


    He knew very well that a small creature could not reproduce into a race. It was better to let it return to its original.


    Furthermore, the humans were already modifying Eternal Sun. In the future, it would be a second home for the humans.


    Before the construction of modern facilities, humans could not destroy their ecological chain.


    This little creature was regarded as a mascot by China. It was the first creature to be found on Eternal Sun, and Wu Mo named it "Pan Pan."


    This name implied that Eternal Sun was the hope of humanity in the future.


    The image of China''s infrastructure maniacs gradually appeared. Their construction speed was amazing.


    In just three days, a castle had taken shape.


    The castle was simr to a town, with stone fortresses inside. Each fortress was simr to a modern building, but not as tall.


    Its architectural style was unique, mixing Chinese characteristics and exotic customs. The audience from all over the world was full of envy.


    Theymented that the speed of their country''s infrastructure was too slow. Compared to China, they were really iparable.


    "Look at the speed of China''s infrastructure. Our country is simply crawling like a turtle!"


    Some countries sighed helplessly that in their construction process, just the foundation had spent a lot of effort.


    However, what could he do?


    No country in the world couldpete with China. At least in terms of construction speed, China was simply the best!


    In the blink of an eye, the houses in China had begun to take shape.


    Those crazy infrastructure workers had actually built high-rise buildings on top of those low houses.


    They had already begun to construct the future skyscrapers on the surface of the.


    "Unbelievable, China''s construction speed is like a whirlwind. Is this really the speed that surpasses the limits? These skyscrapers are simply replicas of our!"


    The audience was amazed. The speed of China''s improvement was astounding.


    At their construction site, a huge reactor came into view.


    The distance between the reactor and the construction site was less than a kilometer.


    This close proximity, coupled with the huge reactor, ensured all the energy needed for the construction site.


    Whether it was electricity or anything else, they were all provided by the nuclear fusion reactor.


    Therefore, the problem of energy did not exist at all.


    Driven by this astonishing speed, China''s infrastructure took another step forward.


    At this moment, Wu Mo also brought good news. The Energy Serum that he had developed for more than a month without sleeping was finally avable.


    This news caused an immediate uproar.


    If it was an Energy Serum that could onlyst for three or ten days, people might not care.


    However, a month of endurance meant a huge possibility!


    In this era of rapid development, many special jobs required people to work day and night.


    They often felt that time was not enough, and sleep became a stumbling block to their progress.


    Under such circumstances, this drug would allow them to work harder.

 Chapter 614 The Planets Initial Transformation Is Complete, The First Hundred

    The first two thousand bottles of the Super Energy Serum was sold.


    These potions were naturally sent to Eternal Sun.


    Soon after, the viewers of the live stream saw the Chinese construction workers on Eternal Sun begin to take the serum.


    In the following month, they wouldunch a construction spurt that broke through the limits.


    The goal of China''s base was simple. In a month, they would turn the castle base into a residential area with high-rise buildings!


    This was a modern residential area, the first residential area built by humans on Eternal Sun.


    This project was carried out by the most advanced engineering team in China, and the chief engineer was naturally Wu Mo.


    Wu Mo was making the super energy serum while paying close attention to the mining progress on Eternal Sun.


    Once the construction of the residential area waspleted, the elites of China would be the first batch to move to Eternal Sun.


    Of course, the water, electricity, and other living facilities would also be built at the same time. The professional construction team would ensure that everything went smoothly.


    They would be conducting a trial stay on the for a period of time to see if humans could survivefortably in this new world. Wu Mo had a surprisingly bold idea as well¡­


    When the time was right, he might be able to personally go to Eternal Sun try living there for a while.


    After all, the distance and unknown parts of the starry sky were always filled with danger.


    Who knew if there were unknown threats lurking around Eternal Sun?


    Even though the long-range surveince satellites had already eliminated the surrounding dangers, danger was always changing. Even if it was safe now, who could guarantee that it would be the same in the future?


    They had to consider the advanced civilizations in the universe for one.


    For example, the second and first tier civilizations. Had they discovered the activities of humans on Eternal Sun?


    If they found out, how would they react? These were all unknowns. Humans had to be prepared in advance.


    "What? Mr. Wu, you n to let a hundred Chinese elites give living on Eternal Sun a try?"


    Hearing this news, everyone was extremely shocked.


    Wu Mo had alreadymunicated with the relevant authorities, and they would prepare for the one hundred volunteers.


    Of course, before going to Eternal Sun, the volunteers had to go through a period of training to adapt to the living environment there and deal with various special situations.


    Once the news was released, the viewers from all over the world looked forward to it.


    They all sent out a petition in hopes that volunteers from their own countries could be selected.


    In the end, Wu Mo epted the requests of all parties and decided to let volunteers from other countries join the hundred-man team.


    In the end, the one hundred volunteers were announced.


    They would be taking arge civilian ship to Eternal Sun to begin their interster life.


    However, the prerequisite for all of this was that the residential area on Eternal Sun had to bepleted.


    The long-awaited end of the month had finally arrived. Everyone could clearly see that a modernmunity on Eternal Sun had begun to take shape.


    "Look, the green belt has already taken shape!"


    People were surprised to find that the known as Eternal Sun had already begun to build a familiar living environment.


    "Oh, my God! Isn''t this our homnd? This Is simply too magical. This Is the power of China''s construction!" an audience member eximed.


    Another person echoed, "Really, it looks just like the neighborhood downstairs. It feels like I''ve returned to Earth. It''s so familiar!"


    "Look over there! It seems like there are workers installing the water and electricity facilities. It looks like the living facilities here have begun to be perfected!"


    "Oh, and over there, is there a vegetable field? Could it be that there are reared chickens and ducks?"


    At this moment, people were shocked to discover that this was not just a modernmunity, but aprehensivemunity that integrated traditional rural characteristics.


    Here, people did not have to worry about their daily needs because everything was self-sufficient.


    Eternal Sun''s soil had ideal elementalposition, and was fertile and suitable for nting.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    This meant that they could grow all kinds of vegetables and feed chickens and ducks with vegetables and weeds.


    They could even eat the eggs and meat of chickens and ducks directly.


    Therefore, this newmunity could provide an extremelyfortable living environment for humans and achieve sustainable living conditions.


    Finally, the one-month sprint n waspleted, and the entire project could be officially handed over.


    As the chief engineer, Wu Mo could proudly submit this n to his superiors.


    When the inspection personnel saw the residential area, they were so shocked that their eyeballs almost fell out.


    "Heavens, this... Is this true?"


    Seeing the whole picture of this neighborhood under the ultra-long-range detection camera, everyone was so surprised that they were speechless.


    This was a modern residential area with about five ten-story buildings.


    Although these buildings were not as tall as the buildings on the, the height of ten floors was already quite shocking.


    Moreover, there were two units on each floor, which meant that each building could amodate twenty people.


    Although there were usually many people in a family.


    However, the next experiment was to test their individual survivability, so they were assigned to different living environments.


    The five tall buildings were closely connected to each other and could amodate a hundred people.


    Between these high-rise buildings, there were green belts, livestock breeding areas, and vegetable fields. There were even ns to add fish ponds and other facilities in theter stages.


    There were simple vegetables such as Chinese cabbage and water convolvulus in the vegetable field.


    A special piece ofnd was isted and filled with all kinds of weeds to feed chickens and ducks in order to achieve the goal of sustainable development.


    "Oh my god! It took only a month to make a strange suitable for us to live on, this is unbelievable!"


    Even the old chief was shocked when he saw this scene.


    Under Wu Mo''s guidance, the one hundred volunteers began their ten-day life experience.


    This time, the newly developed residential area would be shown to the world in the form of a live stream.


    People wanted to see what kind of life experience China could provide.


    "Look, it''s starting!" the audience shouted excitedly.


    Everyone felt that if they missed this live broadcast, they would have regrets for the rest of their lives.


    Therefore, everyone stared at the screen, unwilling to even blink.


    At this moment, a superrge civilian spacecraft slowly rose into the air.


    The sheer size of this spaceship was enough to make everyone exim in shock.


    "What you''re looking at now is a superrge civilian spacecraft. Its transport capacity is ten to thirty times that of a normal transport spacecraft!" Wu Mo introduced."


    " What? This is too exaggerated!"


    The hearts of every country''s person-in-charge in theary Alliance organization jumped.


    This meant that in an emergency, China''s transportation capacity was at least ten to thirty times that of other countries.


    This also meant that China had left other countries far behind in terms of space transportation and construction.


    The one hundred volunteers were nervous and excited at the same time.


    Sitting in the spaceship, they looked at the distant starry sky.


    They were getting further and further away from the.


    The volunteers were about to arrive on a strange and experience life for ten days.

 Chapter 615 Adaptability Survival Test, Why Is The Gap Between People So Big?

    After a while, the spaceship slowly descended.


    The cabin door slowly opened, and they all walked out of the spaceship in Wu Mo''s specially made clothes.


    They had truly stepped onto Eternal Sun.


    In Eternal Sun''s first residential area, some construction workers were still in the final stages of the project.


    When they saw each other, they greeted each other and smiled.


    They originated from the same, but now they were reunited on a in another corner of the universe.


    This feeling was undoubtedly strange and surprising.


    At this moment, all eyes were focused on the newly built neighborhood.


    Under the guidance of the staff, the one hundred volunteers walked toward their brand-new home.


    They saw the buildings and green belts along the way and were all amazed!


    Suddenly, someone felt that the protective suit on their body was redundant.


    "Why do I feel like this is exactly the same as ours? There''s no need to wear this protective suit!"


    "I feel the same way, but Mr. Wu Mo has personally instructed us to do this to prevent us from encountering unknown dangers."


    "Well, since it''s his instruction, we should listen to him!"


    Even so, some people still felt very ufortable wearing protective clothing.


    Wu Mo had thought it through when designing the protective suit.


    Only after they had lived on this for ten days could they prove that the environment here had no effect on them and take off their protective suits.


    During this period, all the construction workers also wore such protective clothing and built thismunity.


    This showed that Chinese construction workers were not afraid of hardship.


    Wearing such clothes could still maintain an extremely high construction speed. There was no other engineering team in the world that could do this.


    "The ten-day survival n begins now. Next, you will see the life experience of these one hundred volunteers on this!"


    As Wu Mo finished speaking, the camera on the big screen gradually zoomed in.


    It could be seen that each volunteer was ced on a different floor and room.


    These volunteers were filled with excitement and anticipation. They were all thinking about how they would spend the next ten days in space as night fell on Eternal Sun.


    It was worth mentioning that the day and night cycle of this was roughly the same as that of Earth.


    This meant that during the day, the volunteers could clearly see most of the.


    The change of day and night waspletely synchronized.


    However, many enthusiastic viewers had been watching China''s live broadcast, cing it at the top of the screen.


    They wanted to keep an eye on thetest developments of these one hundred volunteers.


    "It''s so exciting. This is even more attractive than those outdoor live broadcasts!" someone said happily.


    They would watch the live broadcast for six to six hours every day before going to bed. Otherwise, they would not be able to fall asleep.


    It could be said that the live broadcast of this survival n had be a daily habit for the audience all over the world, and they could not get rid of it.


    At least for the past ten days, their phones,puters, and televisions were all ying the live broadcast.


    The first day passed quickly.


    After Wu Mo woke up, he checked the screen as usual.


    At this moment, he noticed that two volunteers had already gone downstairs and were exercising next to the fitness equipment in themunity.


    "Ha, look at these two volunteers. Even on Eternal Sun, they still insist on exercising."


    A researcher could not help butugh.


    The audience who had already woken up from their sleep could not help butugh out loud when they saw this scene.


    The two volunteers talked to each other while exercising.


    "Brother, how did you sleepst night?"


    "Not bad. I even had a dream. I was piloting a spaceship to fight aliens."


    "I''m fine too. I woke up early because I was too excited, haha¡­"<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    As they exercised, they saw more and more volunteersing down from upstairs.


    Soon, arge number of people had gathered in the fitness equipment area.


    Suddenly, someone shouted, "Look over there!"


    Following his gaze, everyone was surprised to see someone picking vegetables in the vegetable field next to them.


    "Why is he picking vegetables?" someone asked doubtfully.


    The surrounding people all revealed expressions of disbelief. They looked at the person picking vegetables as if he was an exception.


    "Are you picking vegetables to get a nutrient infusion here?" one of them asked half-jokingly.


    "Oh, I forgot. We have to eat to survive."


    The man scratched the back of his head awkwardly.


    When the global audience saw this, they burst intoughter.


    Even Wu Mo couldn''t help but smile.


    He deeply understood their feelings.


    When people came to an unfamiliar environment, it was easy for them to forget their basic needs, such as eating.


    Perhaps because they had eaten too much on the yesterday, coupled with their excitement, they were still full of energy and did not feel tired at all.


    As this person moved, more and more volunteers began to walk towards the vegetable field.


    They found that the vegetable field was veryrge. There were three rows, and each row was nearly a hundred meters long.


    There were all kinds of vegetables here, such as cabbage, water convolvulus, Chinese cabbage, etc. There was a wide variety of everything. There were also garlic, coriander, and other seasonings.


    Seeing all this, they understood that when the Chinese builders prepared this vegetable field, they had already taken into ount the tastes of all over the world.


    Obviously, Mr. Wu Mo had already nned to implement this one hundred-person volunteer survival n at that time.


    After that, everyone returned to their own residences with fresh vegetables in their hands and began to cook.


    This would be their first meal on Eternal Sun.


    Wu Mo was very curious about how they would make use of the current conditions to make delicious food.


    He also prepared many cooking utensils for them, such as basic gas stoves and some seasonings.


    Of course, it only looked like a gas stove. The real power came from the controble nuclear fusion reactor.


    The advantage of this reactor was that it could rece all gas and liquefied gas.


    All the power came from this huge reactor. It waspressed and depressured, and then the energy was transmitted through the pipeline.


    This energy was very clean and stable.


    Almost everyone relied on it in their daily lives.


    The maintenance cost of this controble nuclear fusion was extremely low, so the fees were rtively cheap. It was much cheaper than electricity and gas in the past.


    Now, each volunteer was preparing to cook their first meal in their room.


    At this moment, a hundred small shots were split up on the big screen.


    They captured every movement of the volunteers from different countries.


    "Look over there! A Chinese participant!"


    The audience instantly locked onto the Chinese participants on the screen.


    He had already washed the vegetables in his hands and was preparing to put them in the pot.


    Immediately after, the contestants from other countries also began to cook, but the Chinese participants'' movements were unusually smooth.


    He easily opened the oil can, poured some oil, and then began to stir-fry.


    After a series of smooth operations, a te of stir-fried vegetables was ready.


    However, the Chinese participant did not stop. He began to deal with a chicken beside him.


    "Wait, the Chinese participants are actually starting to deal with the chicken. What''s going on?" the audience discussed in surprise.


    On this alien, they were wearing thick protective clothing, and it was difficult for them to move. All they wanted was to cook a meal that could fill their stomachs.

 Chapter 616 Many People Are Crying From Greed

    The Chinese participants felt as if they were in their own kitchen, without any pressure.


    What was even more shocking was that he wanted to enjoy a te of vegetables and a chicken by himself. This was undoubtedly a luxury on Eternal Sun.


    Although the Chinese participant was wearing protective gloves, he was still very skilled and quickly handled the chicken.


    He boiled off the chicken feathers, cut it into pieces, and prepared to make Kung Pao Chicken.


    "Mr. Wu, did you select this volunteer? It looks like he wants to dice some chicken."


    A researcher saw this, and his mouth twitched.


    Yes, Wu Mo had personally selected that volunteer.


    He had once won the title of the best wilderness survivor on a television show.


    Therefore, Wu Mo decided to include him in the volunteer program on a whim.


    Wu Mo''s prediction had been urate. This person''s ability to adapt to an unfamiliar environment and his mastery of survival knowledge were beyond the imagination of an ordinary person.


    There was no fear or hesitation in his heart. It was as if no matter which dangerous corner he was ced in, he could quickly find thew of survival and make the unfamiliar environment like home.


    The Kung Pao Chicken that he had stir-fried emitted a nice fragrance.


    He took a deep whiff through his protective mask, and an intoxicated expression appeared on his face.


    At this moment, the global audience felt as if they were about to drool.


    He took off his protective mask and began to enjoy the Kung Pao Chicken. It looked extremely tempting.


    Some people instantly felt their appetite increase when they saw this.


    He scooped up the Kung Pao Chicken and stir-fried vegetables in one amazing swoop.


    It was worth mentioning that due to the pressure on Eternal Sun, their staple food had poor taste and low nutritional value.


    Therefore, they did not prepare rice or noodles.


    They could only rely on these vegetables to survive for ten days.


    Everyone had a different feeling about the first meal. Most of the volunteers only ate some stir-fried vegetables, which tasted ordinary.


    The carnivores were even more depressed, and they gradually became hungry.


    Suddenly, a fragrance wafted over and made them drool.


    Some of the volunteers who were nearby ran to the Chinese participant''s room and saw only a pile of bones on the ground.


    "Oh, my God, what did you just eat?"


    The Chinese volunteer took a toothpick and said while picking the meat between his teeth, "Oh, it was just Kung Pao Chicken."


    Hearing these words, one of the carnivores almost rolled his eyes.


    Recalling the food he had just eaten, he almost cried.


    Thus, this volunteer started to follow the Chinese volunteer closely.


    He even changed his original n and moved in to the Chinese volunteers'' room.


    This made one of the researchers frown. He felt that this was not in line with their n.


    Wu Mo smiled and waved his hand.


    "This is part of the life experience n too," he said calmly. "We''re testing their ability to survive, and relying on each other is also a survival strategy."


    The researchers had no way to refute Wu Mo''s words, so they didn''t say anything else.


    However, the audience members around the world had mixed feelings, especially the audience from the carnivore''s country.


    When they saw the volunteer from their own country joining the Chinese volunteer, they couldn''t help but feel wary.


    This indicated that when a real crisis came, they might fall behind China on the road to survival.


    To a certain extent, it seemed like they had bowed to China.


    This was hard for them to ept. After all, many of the world''s famous adventurers were from their country.


    As they looked at their volunteer, they couldn''t help but wonder who would choose such a person to participate in the challenge.


    If they had chosen a real adventurer, perhaps he would have performed better.


    The global audience was watching the live stream with smiles on their faces as it was treated as an entertainment program.


    However, they were silently hoping that in these ten days, their respective volunteers would perform well and win glory for their country.


    This would mean that they had a stronger ability to survive in unfamiliar and dangerous environments.


    Therefore, they continued to watch and look forward to wonderful performances at dinner.


    Wu Mo and the researchers at the baseter ate dinner while they paid attention to the situation on the screen.


    The volunteers went downstairs one after another and began to pick vegetables to prepare dinner.


    They all knew that there were vegetable fields and cages for chickens and ducks there. There was an endless supply.


    The point was whether they had the ability to make it delicious.


    Therefore, all the volunteers began to get busy, picking vegetables, killing chickens and ducks, and enjoying themselves.


    The Chinese volunteer walked up to the cage, thought for a moment, and then caught a duck.


    He also dug out two potatoes from the ground.


    When the Chinese volunteer returned home, his "apprentice" immediately appeared before him and anxiously asked, "Bro, what are you going to cook tonight? I''ve been craving meat all afternoon!"


    The volunteer smiled and replied softly, "You haven''t eaten meat for a long time? Just wait for dinner. I''ll definitely make you feast!"


    He aroused the curiosity and appetite of the global audience.


    The Chinese volunteer had cooked delicious Kung Pao Chicken for lunch.


    This dish was very popr with everyone, so what kind of food would he cook for dinner?


    He first washed the potatoes and then handed the duck to his apprentice.


    His apprentice immediately understood what he meant and began to chop the duck skillfully.


    However, his knife skills were not satisfactory. After working for half a day, the results looked terrible.


    Seeing this, the Chinese volunteer frowned and said coldly, "You still want to eat meat with such knife skills?"


    The moment he said this, his apprentice got really nervous. He quickly smiled and apologized.


    Wu Mo and the other researchersughed when they saw this.


    Wu Mo''s eyes were sharp. He could tell at a nce what the Chinese volunteer was going to cook.


    "Guess what he''s going to cook," he said with a smile."


    The group of researchers began to specte.


    Suddenly, the Chinese volunteer took out two bottles of beer from the cab. This seemed to give everyone the answer.


    "Wow, he''s trying to make beer duck!"


    Wu Mo had prepared all sorts of drinks and beer for the volunteers.


    When he saw that the duck cut by the volunteer wasrger, he immediately guessed that the volunteer was probably going to make beer duck.


    Sure enough, two hourster, a fragrant beer duck was made.


    The rich aroma of beer and the delicious taste of the duck meat perfectly blended together, making it extremely tempting.


    The surrounding air was filled with a mouth-watering fragrance.


    When the unique fragrance filled the air, the hungry eyes of the neighbors from upstairs and downstairs immediately locked onto the Chinese volunteers ''residence.


    One of them, who had traveled to China before, was surprised. "This fragrance¡­ Are you making beer duck?"


    The Chinese volunteer smiled and nodded affirmatively. "That''s right, this is beer duck. Are you interested in trying it?"


    His invitation was extremely tempting. In an instant, the few of them gulped. Their throats made gurgling sounds, and their eyes were filled with desire.


    People all over the world began to wonder.

 Chapter 617 Wu Mo Arrives

    How could the Chinese volunteer live so leisurely in such a strange and difficult environment?


    Meanwhile, the volunteers from their country could only struggle to survive, and they even had to depend on others.


    There seemed to be only one answer, and that was China''s deep food culture and hardworking spirit.


    At this moment, the others realized that this Chinese volunteer had been personally selected by Wu Mo.


    Had Wu Mo already predicted that this volunteer would perform better than everyone on the unfamiliar Eternal Sun?


    The ten-day survival n passed by quickly.


    However, for most of the volunteers, these ten days were nothing short of torture.


    They were exhausted, they grew thin, and their faces were filled with fatigue as if they had been crushed by life.


    Inparison, the Chinese volunteer was glowing, and his apprentice was in high spirits.


    It was as if he was not going through a survival challenge but enjoying a sumptuous feast.


    The audience members from all over the world nervously stared at him on their screens.


    They all clenched their fists as they found his gaze infuriating.


    However, they still remembered that the volunteers'' quality of life was incredibly low on this deste.


    There were no entertainment activities. At night, there was nothing but sleep, and they only had one type of food. This was no different from ascetic cultivation in the temple.


    The volunteers were d that they had not taken the energy serum.


    Otherwise, they would not be able to sleepte at night. Coupled with such a boring life, it would really be a torment.


    The only food they had was some stir-fried vegetables. Even if there was fish, they had no way to cook it.


    They could not even prepare some basic seasonings.


    Their food was so tasteless that everyone felt that this period of time wasparable to hellish torture.


    However, in such an environment, the Chinese volunteer''s face was full of life, and he even gained weight.


    The gap between them was enough to make the rest gnash their teeth!


    When the Chinese audience saw this, theyughed.


    Theirpatriot had performed so well in such a difficult situation.


    He even led volunteers from other countries forward, which undoubtedly greatly improved the country''s reputation.


    "When hees back, I must get his autograph. After all, he''s the first person from China to set foot on Eternal Sun!"


    "I want his autograph too, but not because he''s the first person tond on Eternal Sun, but because his survival skills are too amazing. I want to learn from him!"


    "Look, they''re already preparing to return to Earth."


    With the departure of the spaceship, the n came to an end.


    After ten days of observation, people discovered a lot of valuable information.


    Firstly, humans could continue to develop on this.


    Secondly, they had a clearer understanding of the''s sustainable development goals. Not forgetting, the Chinese volunteer was excellent.


    This meant that if one had top-notch culinary skills, people could live a better life there.


    However, they also had to make sure whether there were any undiscovered creatures on Eternal Sun.


    For example, if the pangolin was discovered, how would humans interact with these creatures?


    At this moment, Wu Mo had already started arge-scale promotion of the energy serum, which would allow one to not sleep for a month.


    And he made a decision that shocked everyone.


    "Director Wu, that''s impossible, right? Five thousand yuan per bottle... Isn''t that half the price?"


    Yes, Wu Mo had decided to lower the price from ten thousand yuan to five thousand yuan per bottle.


    It was almost free at this point, and ordinary people could afford it.


    However, Wu Mo''s principles never changed.


    He stuck to his original intention. Whether you were rich or poor, you would be able to purchase the super energy serum.


    Even if someone was willing to spend a huge sum of money to hoard all the potions, what was the point?


    People could choose not to buy it because this potion was just good aid, not a necessity. It was different from the other four potions.


    Just as Wu Mo had expected, none of the so-called top merchants bought all the potions.


    People understood that its purchase was not a life-changing decision.


    They could still live well without this potion.


    The quick purchasing agents had initially thought that it was their time to shine again. Hence, they were full of anticipation and ready to show off their skills.


    In the end, they were extremely disappointed when they found that no one paid attention to them.


    The failure of their previous investment had already made them suffer.


    They had hoped to make aeback, but reality had cruelly pushed them into an endless abyss. They had no chance of turning back.


    Just then, Wu Mo made another earth-shattering announcement.


    He was going to experience the second phase of life on Eternal Sun with the leaders of several countries.


    Once this news was released, it caused amotion across the entire world.


    Wu Mo was such an important person.


    Yet, he was going to live on Eternal Sun with the leaders from several other countries?


    If something unfortunate happened to such an important figure, the entire human race would regret it!


    "Mr. Wu, you''re a genius in the scientific research field and a person of great significance. What will happen if you encounter something horrible on that distant?"


    When the researchers heard the news, they immediately advised Wu Mo.


    This was no child''s y. All kinds of idents could happen on an unfamiliar.


    Earth had no means to stop it.


    Wu Mo shook his head and calmly said, "No problem. We''ve already confirmed that Eternal Sun is suitable for survival. The remote monitoring satellites also show that there are no extraterrestrial civilizations within ten light-years."


    Since Wu Mo was so determined, how could they stop him?


    They could only strengthen the security measures as much as possible in theter stages to ensure his safety.


    Wu Mo''s invitation to theary Alliance shocked many people present.


    "What?! An invite to Eternal Sun?"


    The leaders of a few countries immediately hesitated.


    They had learned about Eternal Sun through the live stream and knew that there was a residential area there. It was extremely realistic and had all kinds of living facilities.


    However, their doubtsy in their terrible cooking skills.


    If they had to eat tasteless food every day, their stay would probably be difficult to endure.


    Furthermore, they did not know how long this survival experience wouldst.


    In the end, Wu Mo told them that they would experience it for five days, which was neither long nor short. It was just right.


    However, despite Wu Mo''s efforts to carefully choose the right time span for them, the leaders still retreated.


    They had more responsibilities unlike Wu Mo, who could only focus on research. They had to consider their overall situation, which included plenty of official business.


    Therefore, they decided to think about it before replying to Wu Mo.


    During this period, Wu Mo continued to make various data regarding Eternal Sun public.


    In the end, he came to a shocking conclusion: Eternal Sun was at least ny percent simr to Earth.


    This meant that humans could live and work on Eternal Sun.


    Therge-scale civilian spaceship continued to shuttle between the twos.


    Although it was slightly slower, it had an energy source with controble nuclear fusion. There was no need to worry about energy consumption.


    Coupled with the dark matter propulsion system, the spaceship was actually much faster than a normal spaceship.

 Chapter 618 The Most Luxurious Live Stream In History

    After a few days of transportation, most of the buildings and resources needed for human life were already on the.


    China''s construction team was even more excited to work, and the superalloy drill''s efficiency was as amazing as ever.


    Just as a town was about to take shape, China made ns to build a subway!


    "Oh, my God, build a subway? That''s crazy!"


    People all over the world were shocked. Not only had China sessfully built a town, but they had also begun building a subway!


    The subway was an important symbol of a city''s civilization. Was it that easy to build?


    At this moment, people all over the world were full of envy. Some countries were still stuck at housing construction.


    An example was the country that once boasted about its excavators beingparable to the superalloy tunneling machine.


    The houses its people built had beenpletely blown down by a sudden gust of wind. As a result, their buildings were jokinglybeled as jerry-built.


    China''s performance had undoubtedly stunned the people around the world, so everyone focused their attention on China''s infrastructure projects.


    Many countries had even begun to n to learn about China''s construction technology.


    They wanted to understand how the Chinese built their houses so quickly and efficiently.


    In addition, they wanted to rent the superalloy tunneling machine.


    Following their analysis, the think tanks of these countries believed that China''s high construction efficiency, rapid construction speed, and consistent construction quality were definitely inseparable from the superalloy tunneling machine.


    "Mr. Wu, the superalloy tunneling machine has to be one of your exclusive inventions. Can we rent it for only five days? We''ll return it after five days. and pay a high rental fee for it."


    Soon, Wu Mo received many simr calls. All parties were extremely eager to try the superalloy tunneling machine.


    Wu Mo needed to ask thepany''s higher-ups to see if they could rent out the tunneling machine.


    After all, human development was constantly moving forward. As one of the best in the field, China had to make good use of its time and maintain a sense of urgency.


    The superalloy tunneling machine had be an important tool for the construction of its infrastructure. If its people stopped work for a few days, that might have a major impact on the progress of China''s construction.


    Not long after, Wu Mo received a reply from his superior. "Wu Mo, this superalloy tunneling machine is a divine tool for us to build an undergroundwork. We''ve been using it for the past few years. Before our subwaywork is fully established, we can''t consider renting it out."


    One of the national leaders was stunned when he heard what Wu Mo''s superior said. However, there was nothing he could do.


    The tunneling machine was required for China''s development too. If they wanted to rent it, they could only wait until the initial construction of China''s subwaywork waspleted before they could get the opportunity.


    "What?! A subwaywork?" They were instantly shocked by this.


    They had not even dug a subway tunnel yet, and China was alreadyying out a subwaywork? Inparison, their progress was pitiful.


    Furthermore, they could not help but think that if China really built a subwaywork, would it be able to build a modern metropolis as well? If that happened, there would bemany high-rise buildings and underground subway tunnels.


    Everything yed out on Eternal Sun like a dream. However, they knew that China was not lying. It had the ability to make this a reality.


    Now, Wu Mo was in charge of all the construction projects, and he had brought their progress to a whole new level.


    He decided to add ten controble nuclear fusion reactors to speed up the project. Once they were installed, the impact would be unparalleled.


    ...


    Some timeter, another building announced to bepleted. However, this was no ordinary building.


    Instead, it was the second upgraded version of afortablemunityplex.


    Thepletion of thisplex meant that people could enjoy a morefortable life than before, and they no longer had to worry about food and amodation.


    Wu Mo once again extended an invitation to the leaders of the various countries. He hoped that they would be able to visit Eternal Sun and experience life there for five days.


    "Don''t worry, this is an upgraded neighborhood. Your life here will be iparably luxurious."


    Wu Mo''s confidence moved the hearts of many leaders, and they all agreed to visit Eternal Sun for the experience.


    It was worth mentioning that the leaders of these countries represented countries that were rtively underdeveloped.


    Undoubtedly, the leaders of the powerful countries within theary Alliance were busy dealing with national affairs and did not have time to participate in such activities.


    However, Wu Mo did not waste any opportunity to show off Eternal Sun.


    He immediately instructed the space station to prepare arge civilian spaceship and two frigates to head to Eternal Sun.


    The eyes of the world were instantly on them. As the live broadcast camera advanced, a group of volunteers stepped onto the spaceship.


    The viewership rate for the live broadcast hit a new high. The audience followed it crazily, and its poprity was unprecedentedly high.


    The audience watched the live broadcast while they discussed it in a live chat.


    They knew that although there were only a few volunteers who went to experience it this time, each of them was an important figure on a global level. There were leaders of various countries among them.


    Their identities and positions were extremely important. They had all deliberately squeezed out five days to participate in this special n.


    Wu Mo, who was leading the group, was one of the best in the world of scientific research.


    He had greatly promoted the progress of human civilization.


    Without Wu Mo, human civilization might need another hundred to two hundred years to reach its current level.


    Wu Mo had been deeply engraved in the monument of human civilization.


    Now, he was going to an unfamiliar for five days of life experience.


    This made many people worried. They felt that this was too risky and did not care about Wu Mo''s safety.


    However, when they found out that it was Wu Mo who invited the country''s leaders to participate in the experience, they were speechless.


    "This live broadcast is too shocking. This is simply the most luxurious live broadcast lineup in history!"


    "Indeed, this lineup has already reached its limit. No lineup can surpass them!"


    "My heart is racing. I hope they can guarantee their safety on that!"


    "Don''t worry, they are all world-ss figures. Theary Alliance must have considered their safety."


    While Wu Mo and the national leaders were experiencing life, ten spaceships equipped with dark matter attack systems would be around the upgraded residential area to ensure their safety.


    With such a powerful protective firepower, Wu Mo and the group of national leaders did not need to worry.


    After a long and expectant flight, the ship and the two frigates finally arrived above Eternal Sun.


    As soon as the shipnded, Wu Mo inhaled Eternal Sun''s air.


    However, there was a filter on his mask, so the air he inhaled was probably not the purest.

 Chapter 619 This Is True Luxury

    ?


    Some of the elements on Eternal Sun had yet to bepletely explored.


    Therefore, Wu Mo did not intend to take his mask off unless it was absolutely necessary.


    They started to move toward the district as the two guard ships followed closely behind. The ships formed a dense protective circle with the other spaceships and guarded the distant mountain peak.


    Eternal Sun also had mountains, earth, low basins, and various other terrains. It was almost exactly the same as the human world.


    When the leaders of the country saw the luxurious upgraded residential area in front of them, their eyes instantly lit up.


    "Oh, this neighborhood is so beautiful. It''s just like the luxurious neighborhood in our country!"


    "That''s right. This neighborhood makes me feel like I''ve returned to my hometown!"


    "Mr. Wu, is this neighborhood bigger and more luxurious than the previous one?"


    Wu Mo nodded as he looked at the excited faces of the country''s leaders and heard their questions.


    "This district is a luxurious version of a super district. You can experience all kinds of modern living facilities here. I believe that when you leave, you will even feel reluctant."


    "What? Feel reluctant about leaving? Mr. Wu, don''t joke around. No matter how good this ce is, it can''t be more warm andfortable than my home, right? I don''t believe this!" anational leader replied with a smile.


    The other leaders agreed. No matter how beautiful this ce was, their home would always be the mostfortable ce.


    However, Wu Mo did not exin anything.


    He knew that in the end, their views would be quietly changed.


    The reason he built this luxurious upgradedmunity and personally invited the country''s leaders to experience it was very simple.


    He wanted to show the world a shocking truth.


    Life on Eternal Sun might even surpass their original lives. It would be even more beautiful andfortable.


    As long as he could send out such a message, Wu Mo knew that his risk this time was definitely worth it.


    Immediately after, they entered the upgraded luxury residential area of the city.


    As soon as they stepped into the residential area, their eyes were immediately attracted by the scene in front of them. They were so shocked that their eyes widened.


    "Oh, my God, look at the green belt here. It''s perfect! Look at the fitness equipment over there. There are so many types! This ce is clean and tidy. If I didn''t know beforehand, I would have thought that this was the neighborhood below my house!" anational leader eximed.


    As they walked, it was as if they had walked into a wonderful world. The various strange facilities around them made them marvel.


    "Mr. Wu, what''s that over there?"


    Suddenly, they saw a huge water spraying device. It looked like a fountain had been ced in the middle of a tall building.


    Wu Mo smiled and exined, "That''s our outdoor water supply system. If there''s a problem with the water supply of a building, this system can provide temporary water for all residents."


    Of course, with the current technology, it was almost impossible for the water to be cut off.


    After listening to Wu Mo''s exnation, all the leaders nodded. They felt that this design was practical and simple, and the cost was low.


    Many people secretly remembered this and nned to replicate this technology when they returned to China.


    They knew that Wu Mo had not applied for a patent for this technology.


    Therefore, they had to seize the moment or they would miss the opportunity.


    After that, Wu Mo led them into the tall buildings ahead.


    As soon as they entered the building, all the leaders were shocked by the luxurious decoration before them.


    The bright floor, exquisite patterns, and luxurious atmosphere had obviously been customized for the nobles.


    Moreover, the chandeliers, ceiling, and various decorations on the wallsplemented each other.


    No matter what high-end ce it was, such decoration was enough to attract attention.


    Now, these decorations were on an unfamiliar. How did they do it?


    At this moment, the eyes of the audience from all over the world were attracted to this wonderful scene. Everyone gasped and praised it repeatedly.


    "God, China is really amazing. Their renovation style and construction skills are really unique!" someone eximed.


    "That''s right. Other than express our envy and admiration, what else can we say? Our country really needs to learn more!" another person added.


    "Ha, you don''t know China''s strength. How can youpare to them?" Someone sighed.


    As the camera moved, Wu Mo brought a few government officials deeper into the city and visited the various highlights of the luxurious residential area.


    "Everyone, we are now at the viewing area on the first floor. From here, we can see the entire through a real-time camera!" Wu Mo exined warmly.


    What the hell?!


    There was such a facility?


    After listening to Wu Mo''s exnation, the country''s leaders widened their eyes in surprise.


    When the audience around the world saw this scene, they held their breaths and stared at the screen.


    They understood Wu Mo''s exnation. There was a public viewing area in the lobby on the first floor.


    This viewing area was a real-time curved screen, which was deliberately curved into a sphere to create a three-dimensional effect. It constantly yed live scenes of Eternal Sun.


    "We can basically sit at home and watch the whole world!" a national leader eximed.


    When many developers saw this live broadcast, they had a sh of inspiration. They immediately thought of a new selling point.


    "Haha, I thought of it. Our building can also have a viewing area. Why didn''t I think of it before?I''ve been too stupid!" They thought excitedly.


    As a result, many developers immediatelyunched properties with panoramic viewing areas and imed that they were exclusive.


    However, those who watched the live broadcast knew that this was probably Wu Mo''s exclusive idea.


    Wu Mo continued to lead the leaders deeper into the residential area.


    The elevator door rang and the doors opened very quickly.


    They walked in and found that the elevator was running smoothly without any bumps.


    When the elevator was about to stop, it would perform a short deceleration buffer to minimize the difort of the passengers.


    All the details were extremely human-like. Even in the human world, there were rarely such exquisite designs.


    Needless to say, Eternal Sun was an unfamiliar.


    Therefore, when the global audience saw this, they were all amazed.


    They were even tempted to experience this short and wonderful journey for themselves.


    However, there were so many people in the world that they could not experience this luxurious neighborhood like the leaders of these countries.


    The elevator slowly stopped on the eighth floor. Wu Mo brought everyone to the first room.


    He used his fingerprint to unlock the door. The door slowly opened, and the decoration in the room immediately shocked everyone.


    "Oh, my God, it''s so warm andfortable. I''ve decided to renovate my house like this when I go back!" one of the country''s representatives shouted in excitement.


    At this moment, Wu Mo disyed all the details of the room''s decor in front of everyone.


    The interior was decorated with warm colors and warm elements. They gave people a strong sense of family warmth andfort.


    Loving families that saw such a room would be deeply attracted and unable to look away. They would feel so blessed to be in such a space!

 Chapter 620 The Meaning Of Life Is Simple

    ?


    "My God, this design is beyond words. It''s like an invisible hand that brings warmth and feelings to people, making people have a strong desire to buy it!"


    Among the audience watching the live broadcast, some of the people in charge of interior design immediately put down the pens and samples in their hands and tried to replicate what they saw.


    "Oh, my God, it''s unbelievable. Who designed this? I really want to be a disciple of this master!"


    Even a thirty-year veteran designer was deeply shocked.


    He was so touched that his eyes were teary because he had witnessed the highest form of renovation.


    He was deeply moved, and he gained many insights. He knew that he would make great progress in this area.


    The audience from all walks of life stared at the live broadcast screen, afraid to miss any exciting details.


    They knew very well that this gentleman named Wu Mo would unveil even more mysteries of this luxurious residential area.


    As the livestream went on, many people benefited a lot from it.


    "My God, look at that!"


    Suddenly, Wu Mo walked to the deepest part of the room and activated a smart homemand.


    "Turn on the air conditioner and adjust it to twenty-six degrees Celsius."


    In an instant, the temperature in the room stabilized at twenty-six degrees Celsius. It was unbelievablyfortable.


    The fresh fragrance brought by the air purification system made the entire room look brand new.


    At this moment, Wu Mo took off his mask and smiled brightly at the live broadcast camera.


    The global audience was shocked. Wu Mo actually took off his mask!


    This small action, in the eyes of many people, had a huge meaning.


    They believed that this was the first step for humanity on Eternal Sun. It symbolized that humanity could live afortable life that truly belonged to them on this.


    The future they looked forward to would no longer require masks or protective clothing.


    They could continue to live ording to their original lifestyle and enjoy the perfect life experience.


    Seeing Wu Mo take off his mask, the national leaders followed suit and took off their masks.


    They looked at each other and smiled. They understood that in theing days, they needed to unite and spend five days together in this luxurious neighborhood.


    In these five days, they had to help each other and get a better life experience.


    Otherwise, no one would be able to adapt to such a life.


    However, what they didn''t know was that this wasn''t apetition, but Wu Mo''s proof that Eternal Sun waspletely suitable for human survival.


    They could treat this ce as a human world and did not need to have any other thoughts.


    Therefore, in these five days, not only would Wu Mo not force theparison, but he would also not force thepetition.


    On the contrary, it would help these country leaders obtain a better life experience.


    In other words, the more satisfied these countries were, the closer Wu Mo''s goal would be.


    "This is your new home," Wu Mo announced with a smile. "Next, we''ll continue to visit other ces."


    His words were filled with anticipation and trust.


    One of the country leaders suddenly became emotional. His new residence was warm andfortable, giving him a strong sense of belonging.


    He silently thought that in these five days, he would definitely obtain an unparalleled experience.


    Even if he spent five days and five nights in such a ce, it would not be boring at all.


    Following that, Wu Mo brought a few other country leaders into the second room and began a detailed introduction under the gaze of the global audience.


    Every room was warm andfortable, even warmer than their own homes. It was filled with the smell of home.


    After introducing all the rooms, Wu Mo settled them down and returned to his own room.


    His room was also warm andfortable, filled with all kinds of elements of home.


    At this moment, it was dinner time.


    Theynded on the at noon and spent the entire afternoon touring and introducing the.


    Everyone had a preliminary understanding of the various facilities in this luxurious residential area.


    When it was dinner time, Wu Mo led them to a vegetable garden next to the neighborhood.


    The vegetable garden was huge. In addition to the tens of thousands of square meters of vegetable field, there were several fences for raising poultry.


    There were chickens, ducks, cows, and sheep. There was even a small fish pond with more than ten kinds of domestic fish.


    Everyone was stunned by what they saw.


    When did China''s base bring these animals up?


    One had to know that in order for these animals to continue reproducing, the number of each race group needed to reach at least a hundred.


    Now, it seemed that there were more than a hundred of each animal.


    This was enough to prove that China had carefully considered before bringing these poultry and various animals to the.


    It seemed like they were nning to breed and reproduce these species on Eternal Sun.


    "Oh, my God, China is improving too quickly. I can''t predict what will happen to this city in the future."


    "I dare to predict that since China has already shown us the prototype of a futuristic city, they will definitely publicly invite all countries in the world to migrate."


    The words of a national leader were earth-shattering.


    "What?! A global invitation?" Aren''t you thinking too much? China has such a huge poption. They will naturally prioritize their own people," another person retorted.


    "Sigh, I''m filled with envy and jealousy. I''m thinking that the prices of the houses here must be astonishingly high."


    The third person''s words were filled with regret.


    People''s minds were filled with imaginations of the future. They guessed that in the near future,ary immigration would be a reality.


    And how would the properties in these universes be distributed?


    After all, the construction of these houses required a huge investment. Naturally, it was impossible to give them away for free.


    If he were to sell it, the price would definitely set a new record.


    After all, this was a real intersterndscape house, so the price should be high.


    Seeing Wu Mo working in the vegetable garden, some of the country leaders didn''t n to participate.


    However, out of courtesy, they still went down and helped Wu Mo pick the vegetables.


    "Mr. Wu, are you nning to make Kung Pao Chicken or beer duck tonight?" a leaderasked seriously, which immediately attractedughter.


    They all knew that the person in charge must have seen in the live broadcast that the Chinese yers were good at making these two dishes.


    However, Wu Mo did not n to cook these two dishes.


    He smiled and said, "Everyone, today is your first timeing to Eternal Sun as guests. I''ll be bold enough to be your host and cook a luxurious Chinese meal for all of you!"


    "What?! A luxurious Chinese meal?"


    When the people in charge heard this, their eyes widened in shock.


    "Mr. Wu, what do you mean?"


    Their voices trembled.


    "It''s nothing special," Wu Mo replied with a smile. "I just want everyone to experience the various delicacies that we can enjoy on this. Isn''t that what life''s all about?"


    Wu Mo''s words seemed to carry a deep philosophy, and the viewers around the world pondered over it.


    Then, with the help of several national leaders, Wu Mo began cooking.


    Not long after, a mouthwatering aroma filled the air.

 Chapter 621 Even Great Leaders Are Weak Before Delicious Food

    ?


    Under the watchful eye of a global audience, Wu Mo disyed a luxurious Chinese meal, which enticed the entire world.


    As the camera moved, everyone stared at the screen. They wanted to see what kind of dishes they were.


    "Heavens! What exactly does this luxurious Chinese meal include?"


    "It''s really mouth-watering. Even just looking at it makes one drool. I really want to taste it myself!"


    "Haha, are you even worthy? This has been personally made by Director Wu. I''m afraid only those big shots are qualified to taste it. You haven''t reached that level yet!"


    At this moment, people were all specting about what kind of delicious food Wu Mo had made.


    As the camera zoomed in, they could clearly see that these were all Chinese delicacies.


    Among them, the red braised pork was particrly eye-catching. Everyone was wondering how the meat for the red braised pork had been obtained.


    There were no pigs there, so where did the porke from?


    However, Wu Mo did not notice the questions in the livestream chat, so he could not answer them.


    When the red braised pork was served, the national leaders were drooling.


    Then, the second dish shocked everyone as well.


    "What?! Braised eel?"


    Eel was an extremely popr fish in China. The braised cooking method made the eel crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The meat was delicious and had a rich taste.


    The moment the braised eel was served, the hearts of several national leaders trembled.


    There was no doubt that they loved Chinese food.


    A dish of fish and a dish of meat. Then, Wu Mo smiled mysteriously and presented the next dish.


    "What?! Buddha Jumps Over the Wall? This was impossible, right?"


    One of the heads of state almost eximed. For a moment, he felt that his demeanor waspletely gone.


    One had to know that the dish that Wu Mo brought out was not something that ordinary people could make.


    Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was definitely a grand dish. It was a delicacy that required many rare ingredients to make.


    How did he prepare it there?


    At this moment, people were counting the dishes that had already been cooked. There were already three dishes. What other delicacies would be waiting for them?


    After that, another dish was served. Without a doubt, this dish was definitely a chicken and duck dish.


    However, upon closer inspection, a huge te was upside-down on top. No one could tell what was hidden under the te.


    As the te was removed, the true appearance of the dish was finally revealed.


    "Oh, my God, this is a big te of chicken!"


    That''s right, Wu Mo cooked a big chicken, cut it into pieces, and then put it together again.


    There was a big bowl of sauce around him, and the fragrance made people drool.


    With just these few dishes served, the group of heads of state already felt their appetite stir. Their hearts were already racing as if they could no longer withstand the temptation.


    "Oh, my God, the aroma assails my nose. It''s so enticing. If I wasn''t here, I would definitely think that I was in a five-star hotel and not on Eternal Sun."


    "I have the same feeling, but why hasn''t Mr. Wu announced dinner yet?"


    The heads of state looked puzzled.


    Logically speaking, Wu Mo should not be making other dishes, right?


    But it seemed like¡­ he was continuing to cook.


    Yes, Wu Mo was making a sd.


    People liked to eat stir-fried or boiled vegetables. asionally, they would like to eat some cold dishes for a change of taste.


    Soon, a sd was served on the table.


    "Everyone, please look. This sd is a mixture of several different vegetables. I call it Exploding Vitamins!"


    "What?! Exploding Vitamins?"


    All the viewers suddenly fell into shock and silence.


    They could almost chew on the sd themselves.


    It was as if they could taste the nutrition and vitamins in the green sd. They felt refreshed.


    "Mr. Wu, can we start eating now?" ahead of state asked in a surprisingly low voice.


    Just as he opened his mouth to speak, his saliva could not help but drip down. As a result, the audience in the live chat burst into enthusiasticughter.


    "Alright. Enjoy, everyone!" Wu Mo replied with a smile. He looked at everyone''s reaction and nodded in satisfaction.


    The enthusiastic response of these leaders undoubtedly proved that the people on Eternal Sun could enjoy afortable life.


    Even in the human world, this meal could only be eaten in the most high-end restaurants.


    But now, Wu Mo could easily make such a delicacy on Eternal Sun.


    "Everyone, try this braised pork. It''s the best in the world. I''m very curious where this meat came from."


    "Red braised pork is nothing. Hurry up and taste this white-cut chicken. The taste of this sauce makes it a perfect match!"


    "Haha! You don''t know how to enjoy life. With Buddha Jumps Over The Wall around, you still want to eat other things? How ridiculous!"


    The leaders of these countries began to joke with each other.


    The audience could not help butugh, but they were on the verge of drooling too.


    It was alreadyte at night in the human world, and the audience was already hungry. How could they hold back when they saw the delicious food in the live broadcast?


    For a moment, countless people ordered takeout. They wanted to fill their stomachs too.


    After they finished eating, the heads of state patted their stomachs in satisfaction andy on their chairs. They looked satisfied.


    "Mr. Wu, this meal is really satisfying. Thank you for providing us with such great enjoyment!" a country leader thanked him sincerely. His expression was filled with heartfelt admiration.


    Wu Mo gently waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to be overly polite. This was because he had his own grand goal behind this arrangement.


    He hoped that through this disy, the countries of the world would understand that Eternal Sun could indeed achieve sustainable development.


    On top of that, they could also enjoy a picturesque life.


    Wu Mo knew that thefort of life was far more than food.


    It included eating, drinking, ying, and other aspects of life.


    Next, he nned to let everyone fall into a sweet dream. The next day, he would start a new cycle.


    He wanted these leaders to live such a happy life on Eternal Sun that they would not be willing to go home.


    At this moment, people consciously began to clean up after dinner. Some washed the dishes, some swept the floor, and some wiped the tables.


    Although they were all important figures in their respective countries, they were in front of Wu Mo, who also did not put on airs.


    They had just tasted the delicacies that Wu Mo had personally made. If they did not do anything, they would feel deeply guilty.


    The heads of state cleaned up together and then returned to their rooms to rest.


    When they returned to their rooms, everyone was deeply moved by the atmosphere around them. It was as if they had really returned to their own homes.


    The familiar atmosphere and the warm environment made them forget that they were actually on a strange. Everyone slept soundly that night.


    Perhaps it was because the survival n they carried out here did not put them under the pressure of national affairs, so they threw away their worries and enjoyed their sweet dreams.

 Chapter 622 The Sudden Appearance Of An Artifact

    ?


    The next morning, at around 8.00 am, every head of state got up and walked downstairs to the gym to exercise.


    They chatted andughed while they enjoyed the peace and leisure.


    Their topics of conversation were all trivial matters, and they never mentioned business.


    Just then, Wu Mo leisurely walked out of the building.


    He yawned. Apparently, he had just woken up from a sweet dream.


    Thatfortable feeling seemed to still wrap around his body, and it made him miss his own bed.


    "Everyone, how was your trip to Dreandst night?" Wu Mo chuckled. His tone was free and easy.


    "Mr. Wu, I felt like I was floating in the clouds. It was even morefortable than being at home. What about you?" a country''s official replied.


    "Sigh! How annoying! It''s as if an invisible hand pulled me out of my sweet dreams. The climate here is really suitable for sleeping."


    Wu Mo sighed. His face was full of regret.


    He meant what he said. Last night, it had drizzled on Eternal Sun. They all felt like they were in a gentle cradle thanks to the peaceful atmosphere. It was sofortable that they did not want to wake up.


    However, Wu Mo had something more wonderful waiting for them.


    It was already 8.00 am, so he smiled and led everyone to a big fish pond. He had not dug this pond by hand. Instead, construction workers had dug it out and filled it.


    "Don''t think that Eternal Sun doesn''t have water. There''s actually an abundance of water here.


    "The fishes here are also from Eternal Sun. We didn''t bring them here."


    After that, he encouraged everyone to start fishing. A national leader curiously asked, "Mr. Wu, are there plenty of fish in the pond?"


    Wu Mo smiled and nodded. "Don''t worry. The fish here will definitely be enough for you."


    "Mr. Wu, your words seem to carry a deeper meaning."


    The national leaders looked at each other with anticipation in their eyes.


    After they chose their positions, they began to throw their lines into the water.


    Not long after, one of them shouted excitedly, "Haha, I''ve caught¡ª"


    Before he could finish his sentence, there was a crisp sound, and the fish on his hook inexplicably disappeared.


    "Oh, this fish is as elusive as a ghost. It clearly took the bait, but it has mysteriously escaped¡­"


    The national leader sighed and sounded disappointed.


    Wu Mo chuckled and knew very well how elusive Eternal Sun''s fish were.


    If the leaders of these countries wanted to fish them up, the difficulty would be no different from climbing thedder.


    Then, they all encountered the same problem. It would seem like they had caught a fish, but at the critical moment, the fish would escape from the hook and disappear into the water.


    Seeing that more than half an hour had passed, but no one had caught a fish, they could not help but show anxiety on their faces.


    At this moment, Wu Mo began to move.


    His movements were light and practiced. He gently threw the hook into the water and waited quietly. The fish floated for a moment, but he did not react.


    Then, his fishing rod trembled again, but Wu Mo still ignored it.


    "Mr. Wu, your hook is already moving. Why aren''t you taking the bait?" anational leader reminded him, but Wu Mo seemed to have fallen asleep. He didn''t move and even snored.


    "Sigh, Mr. Wu actually wasted a good fish."


    The national leaders looked at each other and felt sorry for him.


    However, at this moment, the surface of the water returned to normal. Wu Mo suddenly pulled up the fishing rod in his hand.


    In an instant, a huge fish was forced out of the water.


    It kept trembling in the air like a dragon forced out of the water.


    "Oh, my God! This fish is at least three kilograms, right?" they eximed.


    Wu Mo carefully lured the fish to the shore and ced them into the steel bucket that he had prepared beforehand.


    At this moment, everyone stared at the fish and couldn''t help but gasp.


    "This fish is like a demon at the bottom of the sea."


    The fish''s head wasn''t big, but its eyes were like ck triangr gems, and its mouth had rows of razor-sharp teeth. Its scales were as hard as armor.


    In particr, the fins had actually evolved into two de-like scales. It was a divine creature that made people gasp in amazement.


    If someone identally grabbed it, it would undoubtedly be a disaster. These two sharp scales were enough to cause serious damage.


    "Mr. Wu, I don''t think we''ve seen this kind of fish before, right?" A national leader frowned and asked.


    Wu Mo nodded slightly and started his exnation.


    "This type of fish is native to Eternal Sun. It was also discovered by our Chinese infrastructure team not long ago. We call it de fish."


    "de fish?" Everyone''s eyes lit up. The name of this fish sounded extremely domineering.


    However, when he thought of the two scales that looked like divine des, the origin of the name was not difficult to understand.


    "Mr. Wu, how can this de fish be so elusive? We tried but couldn''t catch it, yet you caught it so easily."


    The other national leader was clearly a little depressed.


    They all felt strange. They had clearly felt the fish taking the bait, but why was it that it always managed to escape at thest moment?


    As for Wu Mo, his movements were so calm as if he was fishing without a care, yet he could easily catch fish. Why was this the case?


    Wu Mo smiled. "That''s because this de fish is extremely crafty. Not only is it delicious, but it''s also extremely smart and slippery?"


    Slippery?


    They were stunned for a moment before they came to a realization.


    It turned out that this fish was as cunning as a fox. It would escape when humans were about to seed, but when humans ignored it, it would take the bait without any defense.


    "Mr. Wu, your intelligence is indeed superior!"


    One of the country''s officials was filled with emotion.


    Although they returned empty-handed from this fishing trip, they had a deep understanding of this strange de fish.


    Everyone understood that there was another addition to the entertainment program on this.


    He thought of the delicious fish meat.


    At this moment, hunger was like an invisible beast, quietly wandering in their stomachs.


    Wu Mo saw through the cunning of this wild beast and decided to cook the de fish that he had just caught for everyone to enjoy.


    Of course, he knew that everyone present was a national heavyweight.


    Just one de fish would not be able to satisfy everyone''s appetite, so more delicacies were also in his n.


    They returned to the luxurious neighborhood, and Wu Mo got busy in the kitchen. There was hot steam, and the aroma of the food was overflowing.


    Just then, he was startled by someone shouting. "Mr. Wu,e down and see what this is!"


    Without hesitation, Wu Mo immediately put down his work and walked out of the kitchen.


    In a flower bed in the corner of the neighborhood, a piece of soil was dug up. It revealed the secret beneath¡ªan ancient ring.


    It was not special, but it could have been identally lost during the construction process.


    However, this ring was covered in rust, as if it had witnessed the baptism of countless years. It was impossible to ignore.

 Chapter 623 Investigating The Reason For The Civilizations Disappearance

    ?


    "It''s been hiding such a ring? Let me see!"


    Wu Mo took the ring and examined it carefully.


    He looked at it over and over again. In the end, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his expression was solemn.


    Wu Mo could tell the age of the ring at a nce. It was probably hundreds of years old. It could almost be regarded as a cultural relic.


    However, this was only his initial estimate. No one knew exactly how long it had been there. It might even be a lot older than he thought.


    "Did someone bring this cultural relic along and identally drop it into the flower bed?" Wu Mo tried to provide an exnation, but he immediately shook his head andughed at himself. It seemed too far-fetched.


    Humans had yet to produce such a ring a few hundred years ago. At that time, most ornaments were rings made of jade.


    This ring was obviously of a more modern style. Despite that, its material and appearance reminded him of items from hundreds of years ago.


    The fusion of these two elements wasparable to a collision of time. It allowed Wu Mo''s thoughts to swim rapidly in the sea of possibilities.


    A terrifying spection suddenly rose in his heart.


    "Did Eternal Sun once nurture a civilization, but for some reason, that civilization went extinct? Were all traces of itter removed?"


    The thought instantly strangled his heart like an invisible w, and Wu Mo felt a wave of fear.


    He smiled lightly and stored the ring in his pocket. He was trying to hide his uneasiness.


    "Everyone, I think I dropped this ring," he said casually.


    "Haha. Mr. Wu, there''s nothing to apologize for. Just be more careful in the future. Don''t drop it again!" a national leader replied with a happy smile.


    Then, Wu Mo sessfully delighted everyone with his cooking.


    Wu Moter went to another room alone and recorded this discovery before he sent it to China''smand center.


    China''smand center was shocked when they received the news.


    "Mr. Wu spectes that there might be a lost civilization on Eternal Sun. Send a team to investigate this immediately!"


    China''smand center quickly took action. A team of experienced archaeologists and geologists soon epted the mission and boarded a civilian spaceship to Eternal Sun.


    The mass production of dark matter had significantly increased the speed of spaceships.


    With the support of the extremely sturdy alloy, humans would not be negatively affected when the ship surpassed light speed.


    By now, the national leaders'' five-day experience was nearing its end.


    "Everyone, we''ve been fishing, tasting delicious food, and admiring the scenery for the past few days. What do you think of the environment here?"


    Wu Mo concluded their time there and posed a question.


    Everyone expressed their satisfaction and said that life there had been extremelyfortable. It was not much different from life at home.


    One of the national leaders even said that he was willing to travel there for a vacation every year.


    In the end, Wu Mo arranged for someone to carefully send them back.


    The live broadcast came to an end. However, viewers around the world were still curious about life on Eternal Sun.


    They still wanted to unravel the mystery. Meanwhile, Wu Mo turned around and started another exploration with the group of experts.


    They held a unique meeting in a sealed room and began to discuss how to develop the area.


    Wu Mo started by telling them how he found the ring. The archaeologists were so shocked that their expressions changed. They thought that they had heard wrongly at first.


    "Mr. Wu, are you joking? Are you sure you''re not describing a fantasy?" several archaeologists asked in confusion.


    Wu Mo nodded firmly. "How could I make this up? I''m sure you would feel the same way if you found this ring!"


    In an instant, the group of experienced archaeologists appeared gloomy. Their eyes were focused on the ring in Wu Mo''s hand.


    Their heartbeats seemed to be intertwined with the pulse of history at this moment.


    They had seen how ever-changing history was, but this ring deeply confused them.


    They all took out their tools and focused on solving this mystery.


    The ring seemed to sit at the border of the past and present. It challenged their understanding.


    Its design and style were undoubtedly modern, but there were traces of its old age buried deep underground. It was unbelievable.


    "How is this possible? Its existence is a contradiction. I can''t ept that this isn''t a prank!" an archaeologist said. He could not suppress the shock in his heart.


    Their brains began to spin wildly as they tried to find a reasonable exnation.


    They had a feeling that the ring was hundreds or even thousands of years old. If this conjecture was true, the civilization on Eternal Sun was more advanced than human civilization.


    It might be hundreds or even thousands of years ahead since its people already had modern aesthetics and manufacturing technology back then.


    However, they had disappeared. Had an alien civilization destroyed them, or had they died on their own?


    It was a mystery.


    Right then, a group of geological survey experts began to take action.


    They had brought professional equipment and tools to conduct a detailed survey of the luxurious residential area.


    In the end, they came to a shocking conclusion. There might be unknown substances hidden in theyer a hundred meters below the residential area.


    This meant that it was not just ordinary soil, but it was more likely a priceless cultural relic.


    When Wu Wu heard the news, he immediately understood that themunityplex had to be moved.


    Furthermore, there might be infinite secrets under it.


    At this time, they had to invest more manpower and resources to protect it.


    After that, development had to be done very carefully. Nothing inside theplex could be harmed.


    Wu Mo quickly contacted the old chief and submitted the shocking conclusion of his deduction.


    The old chief was taken aback.


    "Wu Mo, we will provide you with full support!" the old chief said firmly.


    Not long after, more than tenrge civilian spaceships began to hover above the.


    Their arrival was like thunder before a storm, and everyone was in disbelief.


    Wu Mo looked at the various resources, exploration equipment, mining equipment, and professional teams on the spaceships. He heaved a sigh of relief once everything was unloaded.


    Such power was enough to turn the entire underground area of the luxuriousplex upside down.


    However, during this process, they had to protect everything inside as much as possible. After all, this could be a precious historical legacy.


    Immediately after, the excavators began to dig into the ground''s surface and carefully st the floors.


    The explosion on Eternal Sun instantly became the focus of the entire world.


    Unfortunately, this process was not made public in the form of a live broadcast, so people could not view the whole thing.


    "What a pity. How I wish I could see how different the explosion has made Eternal Sun!"


    Everyone expressed their regret.

 Chapter 624 Pioneers Of Humanity

    ?


    After the entire floor was sted, the industrial robots quickly moved out with the help of controble nuclear fusion energy. They were responsible for cleaning up.


    These robots were extremely efficient, and they cleared the thickyer of debris in a short period of time.


    Immediately after, the excavators went into action again and continued digging.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, our equipment has detected those strange elements at a distance of about 130 meters!" A survey expert stood beside Wu Mo and reported excitedly.


    Wu Mo nodded. A hundred and thirty meters was indeed a tough challenge.


    If ordinary drilling equipment could not reach it, then they could only rely on the superalloy tunneling machine!


    Suddenly, arge-scale drilling machine in front of him stopped working. Wu Mo frowned.


    This huge drilling equipment could cover a radius of more than two hundred meters.


    Once it stopped, they could not continue to develop the area.


    Faced with this sudden predicament, Wu Mo did not hesitate to activate the superalloy tunneling machine!


    Everyone''s eyes were focused on the tunneling machine as it was activated. It looked like it could challenge the secret underground realm.


    At a depth of 130 meters, the tunneling machine moved like a beast that did not know how to tire. It swept past all the dirt, and no one could stop it.


    When the tunneling machine finally touched the unknown element, Wu Mo immediately ordered it to stop.


    With the drilling equipment''s assistance, the ground was soonpletely opened. Layer afteryer was excavated, and the tip of the "underground iceberg" finally surfaced.


    "Heavens! This is..." an archaeologist eximed.


    He had discovered the exposed corner of a metal object in the soil.


    He carefully removed the surrounding soil, and to his surprise, he found a¡­ refrigerator?


    That''s right. It was a refrigerator!


    The word "refrigerator" was not written on its surface. Instead, there were some strange words on it.


    However, its shape, size, and structure resembled that of a refrigerator.


    Discovering a refrigerator on Eternal Sun was simply unbelievable!


    Everyone revealed a confused expression. The entire thing sounded fake!


    However, the surprises did not stop there. The team made other major discoveries, and exmations rose from every direction.


    "Look over there! It''s a television!"


    "Oh, my God! Is that an air conditioner?"


    "That''s impossible. I see a cell phone, and... it seems like I can still turn it on!"


    At this moment, everyone''s eyes widened. Every new discovery was akin to opening a door to another world.


    Wu Mo was even more convinced that they were exploring a once-glorious civilization. Unfortunately, it was lost to the sands of time.


    As they increased their pace, they discovered many modern furniture items that were exactly the same as those in human society. However, they also caught a glimpse of morerge-scale equipment.


    Among them, one was particrly eye-catching. It resembled a magnificent machine that could take X-ray images.


    It could even perform better than the most cutting-edge equipment of a simr nature in the human world.


    Although it was small in size, it had shockingly high uracy. In addition, its radiation effect was negligible.


    They managed to discover all this because during the excavation process, they were surprised to find that the machine''s functions were still intact. It was as if it could be immediately put into use once it was connected to a power source.


    "Impossible! This is impossible! I can tell that several hundred thousand years have passed here. How is it still functioning?" An archaeologist shook his head in disbelief. He found this extremely ridiculous.


    These electrical appliances were still intact after being buried in the ground for such a long time. How was it possible?


    They were obviously made of metal, so why did they not dpose? Everyone was in shock and disbelief.


    As the entire excavation process neared its end, the ruins of a magnificent civilization were revealed.


    There were rundown castles, ruins of houses, and all kinds of furniture. Everything seemed so real. The most surprising thing was a small car that was parked next to the furniture.


    This car waspletely different from any of the luxury cars on Earth. It was round in shape like a disk from top to bottom.


    There were only three triangr wheels under the "metal disk," and they made it extremely stable.


    Either one of the three wheels could act as the front or rear wheel.


    This implied that the small car could move freely in any direction.


    "Look, its power system is located in the middle of the three wheels. It provides a full-range driving experience!"


    Wu Mo smiled. He was very excited about this discovery.


    When the ruins were excavated, the outside world was taken aback.


    After the old chief received the news, he immediately checked the report.


    When he read more about the vanished civilization, he learnedmany profound truths.


    He looked at this world that was highly simr to the human''s with his mouth agape.


    "Were¡­ Were those on Eternal Sun pioneers of humanity? Did our ancestors reallynd on that and create such a glorious civilization there?" The old chief''s voice was filled with wonder.


    Wu Mo grinned. He did not expect the old chief to have a better imagination than him.


    Soon after, the old chief gave a stern order to protect everything in the ruins no matter what. That way, they could remain intact on Eternal Sun.


    Wu Mo nodded slightly. He promised the old chief that he would send important specimens back and study them carefully at the research center.


    Just like that, China protected the ancient ruins and built a museum on the spot.


    While Wu Mo boarded the spaceship and prepared to return, the old chief''s words kept echoing in his mind.


    He believed that this civilization had obviously taken the same path as humans.


    The universe was vast and boundless. There were countless civilizations, and each civilization had a different path of development.


    Humans were carbon-based lifeforms that relied on oxygen to survive, so they developed in apletely different way from other lifeforms.


    However, the electrical appliances and daily necessities that appeared on Eternal Sun were all products of human civilization.


    This meant that Eternal Sun''s civilization had walked the same path as human civilization. Different civilizations had ended up on the same path. What a wonderful coincidence!


    Nevertheless, he was puzzled. Why did this civilization suddenly disappear?


    Wu Mo imagined that if they could find the weapons of this civilization, they would know how advanced its technology was.


    Speaking of which, there were no traces of war there, so how did the civilization disappear?


    Wu Mo contemted for a long time, but he still did not have an answer.


    He knew that he had to find the answer. It was extremely important to understand how and why Eternal Sun was destroyed.


    This would also serve as a warning for the difficulties that mankind might face in the future.

 Chapter 625 Ruins Of The Narita Civilization

    ?


    Only a corner of the ruins on Eternal Sun was visible.


    However, it was enough for people to see the glory of the civilization that had been lost to the sands of time.


    Wu Mo could foresee that they would discover more relics on this.


    Once they dug deeper, they would definitely solve the mystery of the civilization''s disappearance.


    Not long after, Wu Mo''s spaceship sessfully returned to China.


    At this moment, the people in themand center were overjoyed, and they weed him at the door.


    Earlier, Wu Mo had brought a few national leaders to Eternal Sun and explored it for five days. The influence of his actions was unparalleled.


    Now, everyone in the world knew that Eternal Sun was not just a legend. It was a blessed star, and everyone wanted to settle down there.


    Those who thought that humans were moving too fast and aiming too high had disappeared without a trace.


    Right now, people felt that they were moving too slowly. They wished everyone could migrate to Eternal Sun as soon as possible.


    However, everything was within Wu Mo''s expectations.


    He returned to themand center. The moment he sat down, he took a look at the official sales website.


    He discovered that the super energy serum known as the "One-month Sleepless Potion" was sold out.


    "It sold out that fast?" Wu Mo was shocked. He recalled the time he had spent on Eternal Sun.


    It had only been about ten days, but the sales of the serum had increased by arge margin.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, as the pace of life quickens, people feel the pressure to move forward. Therefore, the sales of the energy serum have also increased significantly," asales analyst exined to Wu Mo.


    At that moment, a piece of news came from the research center. They had made a major breakthrough in the process of researching the cultural relics.


    Wu Mo immediately rushed to the research center to check on their research results.


    "Mr. Wu, our research shows that the ruins likely belonged to the Narita civilization," a researcher told Wu Mo.


    The Narita civilization?


    Wu Mo was puzzled when he heard the name. The researchers had discovered many items in the ruins, and there were unknown texts engraved on them.


    After the words were deciphered, they clearly marked the name of the ruins¡ªthe Narita civilization.


    The Narita civilization had once flourished and been somewhat simr to human society. However, it had disappeared in the long river of history.


    Wu Mo had an urge to reveal the truth about the Narita civilization.


    "In that case, try to restore these artifacts and see if you can uncover the mysteries of the Narita civilization," he said to the researchers.


    The researchers were all excited when they heard what Wu Mo said.


    Exploring a civilization that had disappeared on a distant for hundreds of years was an unprecedented challenge after all.


    It was a supreme honor to participate in such a project.


    Wu Mo instructed the researchers to start the restoration of the civilization. Meanwhile, he began to pay attention to the impact of his arrival on Eternal Sun.


    It was undoubtedly huge. Many countries sought help from China in hopes of improving their aerospace technology.


    China''s aerospace technology was currently unrivaled. Nothing couldpare to therge civilian spaceships that the Chinese possessed.


    Voices of petition rang out within theary Alliance.


    They hoped that China could share the technology of itsrge civilian spaceships so that their civilian spaceships could reach the same level.


    One should know that everyone was going to be on Eternal Sun in the future, so it was obvious that theserge civilian spaceships were important.


    With such ships, even more people would be able to move to Eternal Sun.


    Without them, they could only rely on small spaceships to transport people over and over again. Their efficiency would undoubtedly be greatly reduced.


    Therefore, Wu Mo felt that China was under a lot of pressure.


    If its people had this technology, but they were unwilling to share it, they would hinder the development of the world.


    This concerned the future of mankind as a whole. The dawn of the space migration era had illuminated the road ahead.


    In this new era, every country would do their best to transport their resources to Eternal Sun.


    Before that, how could China monopolize this extraordinary technology? The old chief immediately conveyed this to Wu Mo. Technology could indeed be shared, but its core part should not fall into the hands of others.


    Wu Mo nodded and replied, "Don''t worry, Old Chief. The core part of our technology is the limit. We won''t give it up so easily."


    After the old chief heard this, he nodded in satisfaction and turned around to report back to his superiors.


    Wu Mo had copied the core part of their technology from the system''s store. How could he casually share such a thing?


    After the old chief left, Wu Mo received a few calls from the national leaders who were on Eternal Sun.


    They had spent five days on the with Wu Mo. Since they had formed a certain level of friendship, they felt that it should not be a problem to ask Wu Mo for arge civilian spaceship.


    However, Wu Mo did not n on interacting with them.


    Friendship was friendship, and business was business. The two should not be mixed up.


    Thus, the leaders could only leave in disappointment.


    Not long after, the research center made new progress. Wu Mo immediately rushed over to check it out.


    He saw a batch of replicated images of the ruins. Arge number of details had been restored. Wu Mo became worked up whenid eyes on the images.


    "This... How is this possible? This is unreal!"


    Before him was a picture of a scene that looked exactly like something he would find in the human world.


    There were high-rise buildings, subways, buses, and all kinds of construction facilities.


    The researchers'' expressions turned solemn. They also found the whole thing too ridiculous.


    One of the researchers could no longer suppress his surprise. "Director Wu, we used thetest technology to restore this image. Also, this might be a scene from eight hundred years ago."


    The civilization on Eternal Sun had already reached the same technological level as humans eight hundred years ago. But why did the civilization perish?


    Why did it fall?


    Wu Mo had no answer. He believed that he could only wait until the era of gctic migration truly arrived.


    Once all humans lived on Eternal Sun, they would be able to gradually unravel these mysteries.


    Now, people were eager to find some key clues, but they might only get confused.


    On the vast Eternal Sun, searching for clues of a civilization was like searching for a needle in a haystack!


    Wu Mo was not in a rush. Instead, he decided to develop Eternal Sun at a steady pace. He would only reveal all the secrets of this civilization when the space migration era truly arrived.


    Following that, China''s infrastructure team sped up their construction.


    The luxuriousplex that had been demolished was not important. The Chinese construction team had the ability to build another one.


    Moreover, with theunch of theirrge spaceships, they could transport more resources. These included manpower and construction materials.


    This also meant that China was about to implement a huge construction n¡ªthe first subway on Eternal Sun!

 Chapter 626 Playing A Part In The Construction Frenzy

    ?


    "What?! A subway?"


    When people all over the world heard the news, they were deeply shocked.


    They all realized that Wu Mo was the chief nner of this subway project.


    Besides, the subway project would employ thetest technology, which would definitely be an eye-opener for everyone.


    Wu Mo did not personally head to Eternal Sun because he could use the remote monitoring system to guide the team.


    Under his supervision, this subway construction n would undoubtedly surpass the standards of all the subways on Earth.


    Wu Mo''s subway would be a major artery for the transportation of human economic resources.


    It would be very wide, and its length might reach a hundred kilometers!


    In other words, once the subway waspleted, construction materials could be transported over long distances through the subway. Then, high-rise buildings could be built on the ground.


    As the chief engineer, Wu Mo had filled China''s entire construction team with excitement!


    This was because back when they built the residential area, it turned out perfect under Wu Mo''s full guidance.


    Everyone knew how meticulous he was when he was directing work.


    He carefully considered the needs of every construction worker to ensure that they could get the rest they deserved while they fulfilled their duties.


    Such an outstanding chief engineer was like a bright light in the night sky.


    Soon, the ambitious subway project broke ground under Wu Mo''s strict supervision.


    First, the superalloy drill bit was pushed into the ground. Then, it began to dig an underground tunnel that was a hundred kilometers long.


    This was undoubtedly a difficult challenge for the superalloy tunneling machine. However, Wu Mo had absolute confidence in it.


    He had obtained this technology from the system. Its invincible power could not be stopped even by tenyers of soil.


    Once theplex alloy from space was turned into a drill, almost nothing could stop it.


    As people around the world watched, the tunneling machine slowly and forcefully began to dig.


    Although it was not shockingly fast, it still managed to advance five kilometers a day!


    Based on this progress, it would take twenty days toplete a hundred-kilometer tunnel.


    Twenty days was not a long time for the subway construction.


    Under Wu Mo''s supervision, the tunnel was gradually formed. Next was the construction of the internal facilities, theying of the subway track, and subsequent engineering.


    Everything moved forward like a raging fire, and Wu Mo did not rx even for a moment.


    During this period of time, he constantly trained his body and improved his physical fitness. asionally, he would drink some of the four great potions.


    Even though the potions were not very effective on Wu Mo, they still had some health effects. Wu Mo would not give up the opportunity to improve that aspect of his life.


    He was so busy that it had been a long time since he had spent time with Shen Qingya.


    With that in mind, he began to miss the girl. Therefore, he gave her a call and asked her how she had been.


    "Wu Mo, when will you find the time to see me?" Shen Qingya''s voice was filled with tenderness. She could make him feel the anticipation in her eyes even through the phone.


    Wu Mo''s heart was slightly moved. The sense of longing he felt was like a breeze that gently tugged at his heartstrings.


    He contemted for a moment before he spoke.


    There seemed to be some joy in his calm voice. "After I''m done with work this month, I''ll hand the subway n over to someone else and go straight to Shanghai to see you."


    Shen Qingya''sughter wasparable to a ssh of spring water. It was cheerful and warm.


    "Alright, Wu Mo. Focus on your work then. By the way, some of my ssmates are hoping to get your autograph. They''re your fangirls!"


    "My autograph?" Wu Mo asked in surprise. Nevertheless, he felt a little excited.


    He actually had fans? Once upon a time, people were still chasing after celebrities in entertainment. But now, they were chasing after scientific researchers?


    What era was this? However, Wu Mo did not hesitate at all and nodded with a smile.


    "Sure, I''ll fulfill their request. I still owe you my autograph, don''t I? Even if they want a hundred autographs, it''s fine."


    After he ended the call, Wu Mo went back to his work. His goal was clear; he was going toplete the basic design of the subway.


    He had to ensure the stability of each link and ensure that there were no quality problems.


    He understood that a tiny mistake could lead to an irreversible disaster. He absolutely could not chance it.


    While he worked, Wu Mo nced at the system''s store and suddenly found a new construction tool.


    His eyes lit up, and he immediately spent some points to buy it.


    One could say that he was earning a lot at the moment. He no longer had to worry about points.


    With the new construction tool, Wu Mo was not as nervous and busy as before.


    It was a highly intelligent construction robot. It was like a walking encyclopedia of construction with an embedded smart system that could urately execute all kinds of actions.


    Bricying and building walls were all within its list of capabilities.


    One of the robot''s most exquisite skills was wall building. It possessed superb craftsmanship.


    Wu Mo was curious to find out how powerful the robot was.


    Therefore, in the following live stream, Wu Mo chose a few experienced wall builders to have thempete with the robot.


    "What? Mr. Wu, can this robot really keep up with us?"


    The wall builders sensed an unprecedented challenge ahead of them.


    They had been working in the industry for decades, and they had perfected their skills in that time.


    They could build a perfect wall even with their eyes closed.


    When Wu Mo challenged them with the robot, it felt like an offense to their craftsmanship.


    However, Wu Mo had no intention of backtracking. Instead, he made an exciting suggestion.


    "Let''s have a friendly match. The winner will get a reward."


    This idea immediately attracted the attention of the global audience, and theyall turned their attention to the live stream.


    In fact, some viewers had been getting a little tired of Wu Mo''s live streams and broadcasts. The endless digging and piling of soil often put people to sleep.


    Some even joked that his live streams were the best medicine for insomnia. Therefore, some began to consider whether they should give up on watching the live stream.


    However, with the introduction of the new robot, the focus of the live stream instantly changed. This robot became the new highlight that attracted the attention of many viewers.


    When they saw Wu Moparing the robot with professional construction workers, the number of viewers in the live stream instantly increased by several times.


    "How is this possible? The number of our viewers has tripled in an instant?"


    The production manager could not believe the figures.


    "That''s right. There were ten million viewers earlier, and now that number has soared to forty million!"

 Chapter 627 A Contest Between Man And Machine

    ?


    The forty million figure on the screen shook him. It was as if he was seeing a phenomenon that transcendedmon sense.


    Many people found it hard to believe that the number of viewers in the live stream had soared so high in an instant.


    Two construction sites stood quietly across from the camera.


    The construction robot was on one side, and the three experienced bricyers were on the other side.


    Wu Mo spoke in a deep and firm voice, "Let''s see if this robot can keep up with the three of you at the same time."


    When the three professional bricyers heard this news, their fighting spirit was instantly ignited.


    During their brief silence, one could almost see the surging waves in their hearts.


    Wu Mo proceeded to issue a challenge. "The evaluation criteria is very simple. First, we''ll look at speed. Whoever makes the most progress in six hours will get the highest score."


    As soon as he finished speaking, the doubt in everyone''s hearts began to swell. They wondered what the second criterion would be.


    Wu Mo smiled slightly and said, "Secondly, we''ll look at the quality, which includes smoothness and sturdiness."


    The requirements were straightforward. The structure needed to have a certain shine, and it also needed to be strong as well as durable. It had to be durable enough to withstand the wind and rain.


    Since the rules were reasonable, no one questioned them.


    The three bricyers got ready, but the robot did not need any preparation. It was just waiting for orders.


    "Begin!" The moment Wu Mo gave the order, the robot began operating.


    Machines were undoubtedly more efficient than human muscles. The robot picked up the bricks and quickly piled them in the designated ce. Then, it applied ayer of cement and pressed the bricks down.


    "It''s fast! It''s too fast!"


    When the scene yed out before the audience, everyone could not help but widen their eyes.


    They were extremely shocked. Its speed and efficiency exceeded their imagination.


    Their gazes followed the robot''s every movement. It was a kind of speed, an iparable efficiency.


    Just as the three bricyers were about to bend down and pick up some bricks, the AI robot had alreadypleted one task.


    "Heavens! It''s that fast? Looks like we need to use our ultimate skill. We have to go all out!" one of the professionalsheld his breath and said with a serious expression.


    "This is a big world, but there''s nothing the three of us can''t handle. Let''s show it how powerful humans can be!"


    The three bricyers were filled with fighting spirit as they began to build their wall.


    They were fully immersed in their task. They incorporated their unique techniques and the most efficient methods they knew.


    Every single one of them went all out, and theyy one brick after another with determination.


    An hourter, a tall wall was formed. They did not stop. Instead, they quickly began a new round of construction.


    This time, they piled bricks at the end of the wall, and a majestic aura emanated from their bodies.


    When Wu Mo saw this, he was extremely shocked.


    ''These are top-notch construction workers. The speed and quality of their work are unparalleled."


    At this moment, the audience members all over the world were watching the contest nervously and excitedly.


    This unprecedented wall-building contest made their hearts surge.


    There were also many voices cheering for the three masters in the live chat.


    They saw them as the representatives of human beings, more alive than those cold robots.


    Of course, there were also people who chose to support the intelligent robot. They believed that the world would wee the robot era in tthe future.


    Wu Mo watched on in silence. He was unmoved.


    He only observed the robot''s every move carefully.


    The robot built the wall extremely fast. The angle and strength of each brick were just right. There was no error.


    Inparison to the master-level wall building skills of the three humans, it was so fast that it was almost unbelievable.


    However, the three masters gradually left the robot behind, and their construction speed increased by arge margin.


    "Haha, I knew we would win! Look at that robot. No matter how strong it is, it will never be able to rece us!" one of the professionalsshouted excitedly.


    "Of course, the dominance of this world has always been in the hands of us humans. Robots are just our tools!" another oneproudly echoed.


    "Hehe, it''s still too early to celebrate. We haven''t won yet!" the third onereminded him calmly.


    Most of the audience members were leaning toward the three humans.


    After all, the three of them were now working together, and they hadpletely left the robot behind. Victory seemed to be in sight.


    "This is amazing! They''re top-notch wall builders. I''ve made up my mind. After this contest, I''ll ask them to be my mentors and learn their skills!" a young audience member announced excitedly.


    At this time, certain young individuals who had recently graduated from school were having trouble finding jobs. They were worried about which career to pursue.


    The live stream gave them inspiration. They decided to learn how to build walls and houses.


    Many people had once looked down on such work. They believed it to be roughbor on the construction site.


    Now, however, they realized that building walls was a skill, and professionals in the field were respected.


    Besides, they yed an irreceable role in the entire construction process.


    However, current masters were facing the problem of aging.


    Among the young people, too few had learned the same skills.


    However, the live stream of the contest had aroused the enthusiasm of many.


    They immediately chose to join the team and decided to study professional wall-building techniques as well as devote themselves to the industry.


    At this moment, the skills and speed of the three professionals were shocking to the extreme!


    They had beautiful techniques and amazing efficiency. They instantly overshadowed the intelligent robot.


    Wu Mo was filled with doubt when he saw this.


    "How is this possible? An intelligent robot is actually losing to the three humans," he murmured.


    When he bought this robot, the system clearly told him that the robot''s construction speed was equivalent to ten human construction workers.


    Yet, the robot seemed to be losing steam. Had he purchased a fake robot?


    Wu Mo fell into deep thought. He carefully checked his purchase records and the robot''s features.


    In the end, he discovered an important piece of information¡ªthis robot had a "Berserk Construction Mode."


    "Berserk Construction Mode?" Wu Mo read these words with some surprise and doubt. Then, he smiled helplessly.


    "So you still have a trick up your sleeve. In that case, I''ll activate your crazy construction mode!"


    Wu Mo nodded and pressed the button. Once he did so, everything would change.

 Chapter 628 Shocking Mechanical Rage

    ?


    The robot immediately raised its head and puffed out its chest. Its arms and legs began to retract.


    In the instant ofpression, all its springs andponents seemed to charge up.


    The robot''s overall strength exploded at this moment as if it was ready for an even more violent construction mode.


    In the distance, the three professionals saw that they had already surpassed the robot. They could not help but heave a sigh of relief.


    Then, they started talking to each other.


    "Look, how can that cold robot be our opponent?"


    "What a joke. Mr. Wu thought that it could surpass our speed in building walls. Isn''t that wishful thinking?"


    "Don''t go too far. Be careful not to offend Mr. Wu¡­ Wait, look, what is that?"


    Suddenly, the builder who had spoken first widened his eyes.


    The speed of the robot''s movements instantly increased. It was almost like a phantom.


    "This... What kind of speed is this? How is this possible?"


    For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded. An unprecedented miracle had happened before their eyes.


    This speed simply surpassed their understanding ofmon sense.


    The robot had only been slightly faster than the humans.


    Yet, it suddenly changed. It changed so fast that it was almost impossible to understand. What was going on?


    Confusion filled everyone''s hearts, and the audience in front of the live broadcast screen was even more shocked.


    "Heavens¡­ What kind of magic was this? How did this robot suddenly change so fast?"


    Witnessing the roboty a total of three hundred bricks in a minute, everyone felt as if their minds had stopped working.


    In other words, it could reinforce six bricks per second. This was no longer construction. It was magic.


    Wu Mo was also stunned by what he saw.


    "This... This speed is too exaggerated. Am I dreaming?"


    Wu Mo could not help butugh. He had never thought that the so-called Berserk Building Mode would be so magical.


    At this moment, he was filled with anticipation.


    How stable would the walls be if they were built at such a speed?


    What about the smoothness?


    The appearance seemed perfect, but how good was it?


    The quality of this rapid construction shouldn''t be too outstanding, right?


    Wu Mo did not speak. He just quietly watched thepetition between the two sides and waited for the final result.


    Six hours gradually passed, and the audience was mesmerized.


    The two construction sites in front of them already had high walls that were hundreds of meters long.


    It was worth mentioning that the total length of the three builders'' wall was a hundred and ten meters.


    The robot''s wall was 120 meters long, which was ten meters longer.


    Previously, the builders'' progress had surpassed the robot''s, and they had maintained a consistent advantage.


    However, in thest hour, the Berserk Construction Mode allowed the robot to regain the lead, and its progress even exceeded ten meters!


    Such a result was known to the public, and everyone was amazed by it!


    In terms of progress, the robot had already achieved victory!


    Wu Mo looked at the structures on both sides. His voice was so low that only silence could transmit its deep power.


    "The robot''s progress has surpassed the humans'' by ten meters. Do you have any objections?"


    As his voice echoed in the air, the three construction workers shook their heads after a long silence.


    "No objections, Mr. Wu¡­"


    Their words sank in the silence. The result was clear and unquestionable.


    They were aiming for quality.


    The three of them were masters of architecture. There was no doubt about the quality of their art.


    It was what they were most proud of.


    They were convinced that the robot could not beat them in this area.


    They were looking forward to the quality inspection segment the most!


    To test the quality of a wall, it was nothing more than a load bearing test and a hammering test.


    The principle of the load bearing test was simple and clear. It was to ce weights on the top of the wall to see how much weight the wall could bear.


    First, they evaluated the work of the three professionals.


    Under a 120-kilogram weight, their wall only changed slightly, and there were no signs of cracking.


    This proved that the position of every brick during the construction process had been urately calcted. Hence, they achieved a perfect mechanical effect!


    "Keep adding the weights!" Wu Mo''s voice pierced through the air. The workers added another sixty-kilogram weight to the wall.


    As the weight increased, cracks appeared on the wall. One by one, the bricks cracked, and the faces of the three professionals turned pale.


    However, the quality of a wall that could withstand 180 kilograms was already evident.


    Wu Mo nodded in satisfaction. This was already a top-notch manmade structure. A hundred and eighty kilogramswas the final result. Now, it was the robot''s turn.


    Wu Mo pondered for a short while and decided to add the 180-kilogram weight at the very start.


    However, the moment the weightnded on the wall, the entire wall did not change at all. There was not even a slight squeeze.


    "This is impossible! It''s absolutely impossible! The materials it uses must be different from ours!" One of the bricyers was filled with disbelief.


    The corners of his mouth were tightly pursed, and the weight on the brick wall was reflected in his pupils. It broke his firm belief.


    "We all used ordinary bricks. How can its wall be imprable while ours cracked? There must be a problem with the materials!"


    Wu Mo''s eyes were calm. His integrity was as wless as his actions.


    He pointed at the bricks and gestured at some people to check theirposition.


    Not long after, the appraisers confirmed that these bricks were exactly the same as the bricks used by the humans.


    "How is this possible?" the three builders shouted in unison. They were speechless.


    They had been convinced that their opponent must have used stronger materials, but now, it seemed that the materials were exactly the same.


    Without hesitation, Wu Mo added another sixty kilograms on the wall.


    At this moment, the weight hade to a total of 240 kilograms. Even though the wall was slightlypressed, there was not a single crack on it!


    "Heavens, this is terrifying! The same materials produced apletely different effect. The intelligent robot is heaven-defying!" the audience eximed in surprise as the number of weights continued to increase.


    Wu Mo added another sixty-kilogram weight. At this point, the total weight had reached three hundred kilograms!


    The pressure became even greater, but there were still no cracks.


    "This is impossible, absolutely impossible¡­" one of the professionals said with a tremble. His soul had seemingly left his body, and his words were iprehensible.


    They had worked hard in this field for many years, but they had never experienced such a huge failure!


    They saw that the robot''s wall was stronger in terms of pressure.


    With the same amount of materials, their wall cracked after some pressure.


    The robot''s wall was still intact even though it waspressed to an astonishing thirty degrees!


    It utilized the same materials, yet the difference was so great. It undoubtedly pointed to a single exnation: Wu Mo and his robot''s wall-building technique was so superb that it was unimaginable.


    "What kind of technique is this? It''s unbelievable!" one of them said in surprise.


    Then, the critical moment arrived.

 Chapter 629 Glorious Fragment Of The Civilization

    ?


    Wu Mo did not hesitate to instruct his staff to increase the weight by 120 kilograms.


    "What?! A 120-kilogram weight? That''s too much!"


    Shock instantly filled the air. Everyone''s eyes were locked on the 420 kilograms of weights.


    This was already more than twice the weight that the three wall builders achieved.


    The 420 kilograms of weights were ced in full view, and everyone seemed to hold their breath. They were silent and focused.


    At this moment, the wall that the intelligent robot built was under unprecedented pressure. It was obviously distorted, but it still did not crack.


    Shattering was the only thing that would make it fail the test.


    Since it did not break, it proved that the wall could sessfully withstand the pressure of 420 kilograms.


    "Heavens! This is terrifying!" aresearcher beside Wu Mo muttered to himself.


    He never thought that the intelligent robot would be so efficient!


    However, Wu Mo did not stop at 420 kilograms. Instead, he asked his staff to increase the weight by 60 kilograms.


    When the audience saw this, they were bbergasted. They were overwhelmed by a huge wave of emotion.


    This was not a wall. Instead, it was an indestructible mountain peak!


    The moment thest 60-kilogram weight was ced on the wall, a loud crack rang out.


    Everyone heaved a sigh of relief in response. They all felt like they had just experienced a visual feast. It was as if the wall could bear endless weight.


    However, reality was always more merciless than a dream.


    At 480 kilograms, the wall finally announced its defeat with a loud shattering sound.


    "In the two rounds of assessment, my intelligent robot''s wall far surpasses the three builders'' wall in terms of aesthetics, practicality, or weight-bearing capacity!" Wu Mo announced.


    He smiled, and his gentle tone seemed to tickle the three builders.


    "Thank you for your hard work. This intelligent robot is the result of mytest research. It''s only normal that you can''t keep up with it for now."


    The three builders breathed a sigh of relief. Mr. Wu had a decent reason for this test. At the same time, the exploration team made a new discovery in the ruins on Eternal Sun.


    When Wu Mo saw the new discovery in themand center, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.


    "How is this possible? It''s a chip that records images! Can we restore it?" Wu Mo asked.


    A researcher nodded confidently. "Mr. Wu, please rest assured that we have mobilized all our manpower to restore this chip. We expect to share the images in a few hours."


    Wu Mo and the researchers present were excited to hear the news.


    This civilization was directly rted to the survival of mankind because Eternal Sun was the next ce humans would explore.


    Sadly, the civilization on Eternal Sun had disappeared. What had happened?


    These were all questions that humans had to answer.


    The old chief and a few senior officers immediately rushed over when they learned of the discovery. They wanted to understand the situation better.


    "Wu Mo, what happened? Has a chip really been discovered?" the old chief asked solemnly.


    Wu Mo nodded. "That''s right. The chip is being cleaned. I believe we''ll be able to share our findings soon."


    His words filled everyone with anticipation.


    Not long after, the staff responsible for cleaning the chip brought the restored chip over.


    Wu Mo took a closer look. It was very simr to theputer motherboards that they were familiar with.


    This tiny piece of chip could contain endless secrets.


    Perhaps the answers to the extinction of Eternal Sun''s civilization were hidden within.


    Everyone was intensely nervous and excited like they were facing a life-and-death situation.


    The technician carefully inserted the chip with slightly trembling fingers.


    It was not because he had lost control of his fingers. It was because he was carrying the weight of everyone''s expectations.


    The entire thing was for the future of humanity. They were doing this to solve the mystery of the mass extinction on Eternal Sun.


    His fingers slowly fell as if he was sounding the horn to a brand-new era.


    Just then, the screen was filled with snow. The rest took a deep breath and sighed.


    "Sigh, can''t it be restored? Is the chip really destroyed?" One of the researchers sighed.


    However, the snow suddenly began to dissipate, and blurry images started to appear on the screen. They all eximed, "Look, there''s footage!"


    Everyone stared at the screen as if they were afraid of missing a single thing.


    There was a vast and civilized world that was full of life on the screen.


    Although the snow affected the footage''s visibility because it was a little thick, Wu Mo could still make out certain details.


    It was an iparablyrge and advanced city.


    The city was filled with skyscrapers, and there were spaceships flying between the buildings.


    "Unbelievable! That''s a spaceship. They mastered the technology to travel freely between cities," Wu Mo concluded.


    Then, they discovered an even more shocking detail.


    There was a rail system in the air between the tall buildings.


    The vehicles that looked like trains seemed to travel at high speed on the tracks in the air.


    "Oh, my God! These tracks in the sky can''t be real, right?" someone cried out in surprise. The cup of coffee in his hand fell to the ground.


    One should know that such technology was only a dream in human society because it was technically too difficult to build.


    Even China was intimidated by such technology. That proved howplex it was.


    Now, everything before them told them that Eternal Sun''s civilization had ovee this obstacle.


    "We thought that their civilization was parallel to ours. It looks like we were wrong," Wu Mo said earnestly.


    The others nodded silently. Eternal Sun''s civilization far surpassed that of humans.


    However, a bigger mystery emerged. How could such a powerful civilization suddenly disappear?


    What kind of power made it history?


    They turned their attention back to the screen and saw people flying in the air.


    At first nce, they thought that there were superhumans in this world.


    After some time, they discovered hidden and tiny flying devices on their shoulders.


    The device produced a reverse thrust by releasing powerful air currents. This allowed them to float and move in the air.


    Their flying devices were more advanced than those developed by humans.


    "I really envy them for being able to fly freely in the sky." Someone sighed.


    Who would not want to be capable of that? However, mankind''s technological level was nowhere near that.


    At this moment, someone suddenly pointed at the screen and shouted, "Look! What''s that?"


    Everyone looked to where he was pointing at and saw a huge ball of fire in the sky. The fire gradually grew bigger as if it was going to devour the entire sky.


    Amidst the mes, a few spaceships slowly appeared.


    They lined up in a row like powerful demons and shot out terrifying purple rays.


    These rays wereparable to sharp swords. They easily pierced through the tall buildings in the city.


    A had officially begun on Eternal Sun, and its brutality was reflected in front of their eyes.


    Even after a thousand years, what they witnessed remained so tragic that it made their hair stand on end.

 Chapter 630 Accelerating Human Evolution To Avoid Disaster

    ?


    Everyone saw Eternal Sun''s ferocious counterattack.


    Majestic battleships flew out of the skyscrapers and weed their uninvited guests who were obviously not messengers of peace.


    Their intention was to seize Eternal Sun and make it their territory.


    How could Eternal Sun ept such an invasion?


    When war broke out, everyone was greeted by a dpidated city.


    The skyscrapers copsed amid the shocking destruction, and the tracks between the skyscrapers broke one after another.


    The entire heart-wrenching scene had been captured.


    A moving train was stopped abruptly by the broken tracks, and none of the passengers on the train survived.


    "This... This is too tragic. How heartbreaking." A researcher sighed.


    However, Wu Mo saw something else. He realized that although Eternal Sun''s civilization was only one step ahead of human civilization, their battleships could soar through the sky and rise from the skyscrapers.


    He wondered if humans could use the same technology.


    There was no doubt that they could. It was just that their current hardware was not advanced enough.


    However, Wu Mo had already seen the future and the possibility of integrating this technology into human civilization.


    Meanwhile, the battle had reached its climax. But to their annoyance, the snow on the screen increased and blocked the footage.


    "Sigh, what a killjoy!" a researcher mumbled helplessly.


    Everything on the screen became blurry, so they could only guess how the war was progressing.


    Their curiosity was unbearable like pain froma cat scratch.


    The old chief shook his head helplessly. Even their top technicians could not figure out a way to solve the problem.


    After about five minutes, Wu Mo and the others could finally see the situation on the screen.


    The heart of the''s civilization had been brutally destroyed by the cold and merciless spaceships. It was like a fragile flower that had been destroyed by a storm.


    The skyscrapers had also fallen one after another like kites with broken strings. The brilliant civilization was buried in endless pain and wailing.


    The water in the river was extremely dirty, and it revealed the effects of intense radiation from the spaceships'' rays.


    It was the mark of a disaster. The had turned into an endless wastnd.


    The sound of merciless cannon fire was equivalent to destruction. Eternal Sun''s battleships had nowhere to run, so they were sted into glittering fragments.


    These fragments disappeared into the night sky. Like tears of despair, they coalesced into meteors and fell into the abyss.


    In the trains between the skyscrapers, the people were full of fear like deer in the dark. They were waiting for any kind of salvation.


    Meanwhile, waves of people ran barefoot throughout the city. Their wails pierced through the sky as if the end of the world hade to pass.


    Imagine the human world falling into such chaos. How traumatized would people be?


    If such a terrifying event was announced to the whole world, unknown fear and panic would spread without any restraint. No one would be able to escape.


    On the screen, hope was gradually being extinguished.


    Enemy spaceships soared into the heavens like eagles. They were unharmed. Victory seemed to be in their hands. What were they about to do?


    The world began to tremble violently as if it had been shaken by a huge invisible hand. The tremors were so intense that everyone felt their vision begin to blur. Was the world copsing, or was it their own trembling?


    What kind of power could shake a city? The image of arge-scale nuclear explosion shed across their minds.


    This conjecture seemed to open a new door.


    Wu Mo nodded slightly. Like an explorer in an abyss, he continued to dive into the unknown deep sea.


    He began to question whether there was an unknown alien civilization.


    Perhaps they had created a huge robot that was hidden underground.


    It was so powerful that it could shake the entire city just like the footsteps of a giant in a fairy tale.


    However, Wu Mo could not understand the purpose of doing this.


    Such an operation definitely consumed a huge amount of strength. However, it could not achieve the effect of true destruction.


    If the aliens were truly that powerful, why did they not just blow up the entire with their spaceships?


    Would that not have a bigger and more permanent effect?


    However, the footage did not provide him with enough information.


    Therefore, Wu Mo could not guess the aliens'' true thoughts and motives.


    The sudden disaster almost buried every city and the entire world.


    The footage slowly faded away, and it made everyone in the space research center nervous.


    "Mr. Wu, what do you think this means?" A researcher suppressed the panic in his heart before he asked.


    Wu Mo sighed. His eyes were filled with sorrow and regret.


    "It seems that after this civilization disappeared, the entire Eternal Sun went through a long period of destion. It''s such a pity."


    Everyone nodded in silence. They felt the same indescribable sense of destion.


    They wondered if the same fate would await mankind in the future.


    In their minds, the future of mankind was in the sky where spaceships could travel freely. There would also be subwayworks in the air and high-rise buildings.


    However, the merciless war still managed to destroy such a civilization. Who had the power to destroy them?


    "Were they afraid that Eternal Sun''s civilization would surpass them, hence they started the war?" a researcher boldly voiced out his guess.


    Wu Mo nodded. A hint of admiration shed in his eyes. Hepletely agreed with the researcher.


    However, he could not stay for long, so he turned around and left. His footsteps were firm and fast as if there was an urgent force driving him.


    It felt like the curtains of a tragic epic hade to an end. The humans had to be even more careful while they developed Eternal Sun.


    At this moment, Wu Mo came up with a new n. He nned to invest in mass production again to create one more batch of the five great potions.


    He knew that the appearance of the five great potions would herald the birth of arge-scale protective device.


    Once such a protective device was installed on Eternal Sun, the development of the entire would be as stable as Mount Tai.


    As a result, Wu Mo returned to the base and immediately threw himself into his work. That seemed like his only goal, and he poured all his energy into it.


    Not long after, good news came from the Institute of Special Biology. Various research results wereing out in an endless stream.


    Meanwhile, a group of researchers in the institute were looking at the table full of drugs.


    They were all shocked speechless by what Wu Mo had produced.


    These potions were not energy serums, but Life First, Life Second, and the Biological Regeneration Agent.


    They were low in quantity inparison to other medicines.


    However, Wu Mo wanted to replicate them on arge scale and make a huge impact on the pharmaceutical market!


    Sure enough, when ten thousand bottles of these potions were made avable on the official website, it caused a sensation in the market.


    Even Wu Mo never expected such enthusiasm.

 Chapter 631 New Dome Defense Technology

    ?


    "Wow! Life First! Life Second! I couldn''t afford it back then. I can buy it now that I have money. Hahaha!"


    Waves of surprise and excitement flooded the Inte.


    "Quick, quick, quick. Hurry up and click on it. You won''t be able to buy itter!"


    It was as if they were on a battlefield. The ten thousand bottles of potions were sold out almost instantly.


    "What? They sold out so soon?" Wu Mo''s eyes widened, and his voice was filled with astonishment.


    However, this situation was helpful to him. He was only one step away from creating arge-scale protective device.


    Wu Mo did not waste any time. He immediately put in three days and three nights of hard work to produce anotherrge batch of potions.


    When he announced the news, the staff of the Institute of Special Biology were dumbfounded.


    "Mr. Wu, are you sure you''re not joking? Did you really produce another fifty thousand bottles of Life First and Second?"


    They looked at Wu Mo in disbelief. It was as if he was some kind of potion-making monster.


    The price of each bottle of this medicine would be in the tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. The manufacturing cost was naturally extremely high as well.


    Besides, the production cycle was long. Otherwise, how could it be sold at such a high price?


    Yet, Wu Mo had managed to produce fifty thousand bottles in just three days. They could not believe their eyes.


    "Hurry up and put these potions on the official website to sell. Time waits for no one!"


    Wu Mo ordered. The others quickly nodded and went to work.


    These potions were quickly put up for sale on the official website. When people learned of this news, they were all shocked speechless.


    They eximed in their hearts, ''Oh, my God! They''re actually mass producing Life First and Second?''


    ''Have they started using an assembly line? Producing fifty thousand bottles in three days is more than incredible!''


    ''I have to get it this time no matter what!''


    With the potions'' mass production, their prices dropped to a certain extent. Now, a bottle of Life First only cost twenty million while Life Second cost thirty million.


    However, smarter individuals started to give it some thought. Would it not be stupid to buy Life First?


    Would it not be better for them to buy Life Second straight away?


    After all, Life Second could increase one''s lifespan by sixty years and make one thirty years younger. Its effects far surpassed that of Life First.


    However, many people still chose to buy Life First. Ultimately, no one hadints about having a long life.


    The old chief''s phone suddenly rang, and there was an unconceble shock in his voice.


    "Wu Mo, what''s going on? Fifty thousand bottles in three days? This isn''t a joke, is it?"


    The old chief was in disbelief after he listened to Wu Mo''s detailed exnation on the difficulty of producing the potions.


    Wu Mo had produced fifty thousand bottles of potions in just three days... This made him suspect that Wu Mo was deliberately misleading him.


    Wu Mo frowned and contemted for a while before he answered seriously.


    "Chief, I''ve developed a machine for the mass production of these potions. This machine has greatly increasedproduction speed. That''s why I''ve been able to obtain quick results."


    After he listened to Wu Mo''s exnation, the old chief finally understood.


    However, he pondered for a moment and seriously reminded him, "Wu Mo, you have to understand that it''s impossible for everyone in the world to have this potion. Otherwise, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble. You understand what I mean, right?"


    Of course, Wu Mo understood what he meant. If everyone could enjoy the magical effects of the potions, it would definitely bring about a series of social and moral problems.


    However, he knew that he could control the amount of potion that he produced. In other words, no matter how much he promoted the potions, it was impossible for everyone to have a bottle.


    Once he obtained the old chief''s approval, Wu Mo released thest batch of potions without hesitation.


    There were a total of one hundred thousand bottles in this batch!


    "Heavens! One hundred thousand bottles? Is this even humanly possible?"


    When the public saw how much stock there was on the official website, they were speechless.


    Furthermore, the prices of the potions had dropped again. Life First only cost fifteen million, and Life Second only cost twenty million.


    The number of people who were interested in buying the potions greatly increased as a result. Almost all who had gone bankrupt to get their hands on the potions were queuing up to buy them.


    They had originally been powerful people. However, after they bought the medicine, they became short of money.


    Now that the potions'' prices had fallen so low, how could they ept it?


    In addition, quick purchasing agents had bepletely extinct.


    Some hoped to use this popr potion to revive the dead.


    However, no one expected that a hundred thousand bottles would appear at one time.


    Feelings of chaos, anger, and despair were intertwined. They stared nkly at the screen because they could not ept reality.


    "What was the point of this?!"


    While everyone was dumbfounded, a smile bloomed on Wu Mo''s face like a flower.


    Looking at the data disyed in the system, he shouted excitedly, "It''s done! It''s finally done!"


    At this moment, he was filled with joy. He had worked non-stop to develop arge protective device and prepare its transport to Eternal Sun.


    "What did you say? Arge protective device?" The researchers around Wu Mo were shocked when they heard his n.


    They had doubts about what they heard and asked themselves, ''Is Mr. Wu teasing us?''


    They were all unsure in terms of their trust in Wu Mo or their expectations of this invention.


    Wu Mo''s design resembled a huge parachute. It could be suspended in midair and slowly opened as well as charged using a controble nuclear fusion reactor.


    This device could be charged 24/7 and continuously supplied with electricity.


    Furthermore, the electrical energy would allow the parachute to release a powerful radiation force while it opened up.


    This radiation was not a form of pollution. Instead, it was a powerful means of istion.


    Each end of the parachute was equipped with a small sensor. The power released by the sensor was enough to instantly crush any creature.


    It could weave a huge in the air that could cover an area of tens of thousands of square kilometers!


    This device was undoubtedly another one of Wu Mo''s great inventions.


    The entire process was live streamed as the parachute device slowly arrived on Eternal Sun. When viewers all over the world saw this new product, they immediately realized that it had to be Wu Mo''s work!


    "Look! Director Wu has a new invention. What is this?"


    "I see a parachute. What''s going on?"


    "A parachute? Director Wu is probably going to do something big again. Otherwise, he wouldn''t be streaming it on a global scale!"


    Everyone''s eyes were filled with confusion.


    They decided to continue watching the live stream. They looked forward to discovering the mysterious power of the parachute that China had invented.


    Before long, a ship gentlynded on the. Under Wu Mo''smand, a team of professionals opened the huge parachute deftly.


    Once they pressed a specific button, the parachute automatically rose into the sky.


    "Look over there! The parachute is taking off! What are they nning?"


    Audience members from all over the world just stared at their screens. They wanted to know what China''s intentions were.

 Chapter 632 The Magical Experience Brought By A Super Civilization

    ?


    As expected, the parachute rose to an altitude of about a thousand meters.


    It was beyond the range of human activity. It was impossible for anyone to easily touch it.


    Then, the parachute slowly unfolded like a blooming cloud, and its shape gradually became clearer.


    Once it was fully opened, everyone gasped in shock.


    This was because there were countless small sensors around the huge parachute. Each sensor was about ten centimeters away from the other, and there were a total of thousands of them.


    Everyone found it unbelievable. After such arge parachute was deployed, so many sensor heads could be connected.


    The rays of energy they released pierced through the entire sky and formed an iparably huge.


    "Am I imagining things? Did a appear earlier?"


    "You didn''t see it wrongly. I saw the too!"


    After a series of checks, theizens confirmed that their eyes had not deceived them. The huge truly existed.


    They all asked questions in the live chat. They wanted to know what China''s base hade up with.


    The parachute''s power grid radiated even further and slowlynded on an uninhabitednd.


    This was like a beautiful canvas under a master''s brush. It covered all the areas developed by mankind.


    "Oh, my God. Has this magical experience been brought to us by a super civilization?"


    The workers on the construction site looked up at the sky.


    Although they were not entirely sure, they could vaguely sense anotheryer of space above their heads. It was as though another world existed parallel to them.


    The workers exchanged surprised looks and believed that their intuition was not wrong.


    At this moment, Wu Mo''s phone was almost flooded with iing calls and text messages.


    He saw familiar names and unfamiliar numbers. They were all asking what the device was and what it was called.


    It was especially puzzling for them to conduct such a public test without a press conference. It was really puzzling.


    Wu Mo replied to one of them, "I''ll exin it to the world liveter. You''ll know what this device is then."


    This person was a national leader, and he had a good rtionship with Wu Mo. He had learned to cook with Wu Mo during his five-day survival experience.


    The global audience was eager to unveil this mysterious device. What was its name? What kind of function did it have?


    Right then, Wu Mo''s face appeared on their screens.


    "Wu Mo''s here!"


    Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. They knew that the moment to find out the answer had finally arrived.


    Wu Mo looked at the people on the screen and said firmly, "The device that everyone is looking at now is a superrge protective device. Its fixed electric current can form arge protective that no creature can pass through."


    Everyone was shocked when they heard this because they had witnessed how the electric current formed arge that surrounded the entire construction site.


    Then, Wu Mo revealed the information that everyone wanted to know the most-the name of the device.


    "This device is called the dome! It allows us to enjoy a safe and stable environment while we mine on Eternal Sun."


    Following Wu Mo''s exnation, people gradually understood who this "dome" was.


    It turned out that it was a superrge-scale protectivework.


    It covered the entire process of human development and the surrounding area.


    At this moment, everyone was shocked and could not speak for a long time.


    The eyes of the country''s leaders instantly became heavy.


    They seemed to smell a new possibility, and that was that under the protection of the dome, their territory would be unshakable.


    However, how could they fight back against the possible invasion of alien civilizations?


    Even if the other party had the technology to destroy Eternal Sun''s super civilization in an instant.


    In this regard, human resistance might only be as helpless as catching wind and shadows.


    With such a background, China''s possession of such a dome was undoubtedly the envy of other countries.


    "Sigh, if only our country had such a dome!"


    A national leader could not help but sigh with regret.


    Wu Mo stood in front of the crowd again and continued to exin with a smile,"Everyone, the dome device has another outstanding feature, which is that it can extend and transform."


    "Extend and transform? What''s the meaning of this?"


    The global audience was instantly confused as they waited for Wu Mo''s answer.


    "The dome device has three chances to transform. Each time, it can expand its coverage area, and it may even include other ces!"Wu Mo continued to exin.


    Hearing this, the global audience was shocked. The dome had such a magical function.


    They had three chances to extend the protective range of the canopy device to where they were.


    This meant that they could enjoy the protection of the canopy.


    This news instantly caused a global shock, and China''s phone lines exploded.


    All the countries expressed their willingness to pay a huge price just to be protected by the canopy.


    However, the protective range of the canopy device was limited. It was impossible for it to cover all ces at the same time.


    Wu Mo''s private phone exploded with calls.


    However, he was already prepared and turned off the phone in advance.


    He briefly exined the approximate time of the three chances and then ended the live broadcast.


    At this moment, the methods of the various countries began to show themselves.


    China sent a high-ranking military officer to negotiate. He issued a statement to the world.


    If you want to enjoy the first opportunity to extend and transform, then you can decide through the auction!


    The top ten countries would receive the blessing of this transformation.


    "What?! An auction? What is China trying to do? Aren''t we all part of theary Alliance?"


    "That''s right, we''re all members of the Alliance. Now that we''ve done this, do you want us to kill each other?"


    "Ahem, I think we shouldn''t get involved in this dome device. Let them y by themselves."


    Some leaders expressed their dissatisfaction and even imed that they would not participate in the auction.


    However, when the conference began three dayster, Wu Mo realized that almost all the leaders of the country had quietly appeared.


    Including those who had raised their doubts earlier, they were the first to arrive.


    It was obvious that their words were not sincere. Who could easily make concessions in the face of benefits?


    When these leaders met, they all looked a little awkward. They lowered their heads and did not dare to look at others.


    Their words weren''t even worth mentioning. As the leaders of the country, they felt that they had lost their dignity.


    In this awkward atmosphere, Wu Mo announced the start of the auction.


    The rules were also very straightforward. Whichever country offered the highest price or could provide items of equal value would be considered in the bid. The items could be physical objects or technology.


    The top ten countries with the highest bids would get the first chance to extend their territory.


    Without a doubt, this was an extremely amazing technology.


    No matter which country it was, the benefits would be immeasurable.

 Chapter 633 The Crazy Battle For The Dome Protection Entry

    ?


    The auction officially began. A national leader stood up first and said, "We are willing to pay one billion for a spot!"


    As soon as he finished speaking, the other leadersughed secretly.


    One billion for a slot?


    This was simply a fantasy!


    While everyone was stillughing at this one billion.


    Another person stood up and said, "We are willing to pay five billion to buy a spot!"


    His words instantly broke the silence in the hall. The leader who had bid one billion looked embarrassed.


    Wu Mo''s expression was calm as he silently noted down their bids.


    He was like a silent recorder that recorded the confrontation between money and power in detail.


    This auction was like an intense battle.


    The countries used their own hard power to crush each other, and those voices echoed in the air like huge metal hammers.


    The price soared to tens of billions, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.


    One of the leaders was so heroic that he directly offered a hundred billion in exchange for a spot.


    He believed that such a price was enough to firmly grasp the top ten.


    After saying this number, he leaned back in his chair in satisfaction and closed his eyes to rest.


    Thepetition was getting more and more intense.


    Everyone was trying their best to fight for the precious opportunity to get into the top ten.


    There were even some people who nned unexpected methods.


    They nned to suddenly announce a shocking price at the end of the auction and enter the top ten.


    This auction was like a fight between gods. Bids of one billion and ten billion were constantlypeting with each other. Meanwhile, everyone else was dumbfounded!


    If the rich people who knew the inside story of this ce knew that the price here had soared to tens of billions, they would probably be so surprised that their eyeballs would fall out, right?


    When they bought the four great potions, they had already spent hundreds of millions and felt extremely painful.


    However, tens of billions were easily thrown out here, and his expression did not change. This was the true difference in strength.


    Wu Mo observed everything carefully, but he didn''t make any reaction.


    He already had a n in his heart, and he had calcted the movements of these people in his heart.


    He already had a rough estimate of ten spots.


    He could already guess who would get the ten spots and who would be eliminated early.


    In thest ten minutes of thepetition, those people began to fight for the spots even more crazily.


    However, some people remained silent, which made the crowd suspicious.


    "What''s wrong with them? Don''t these guys n to participate in the election?"


    "Ridiculous! This group of ignorant disciples actually couldn''t see the value of the dome, ignored the brilliance of the future, and thought that their retreat could lead to a stable path. However, they had already stepped into a dead end!"


    At this moment, everyone''s hearts were surging as they discussed, but no one made a sound.


    However, as thest three minutes started, someone finally broke the silence.


    "I dere that I am willing to pay two hundred billion¡­"


    As soon as he said this, the crowd fell into shock.


    A head of state stood up, his words filled with determination and confidence.


    Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the price he announced shocked the crowd like lightning.


    "Dear God, two hundred billion?"


    The crowd who had stopped seemed to have been struck by lightning, and they were dumbfounded.


    Everyone knew that this bid had already crossed the front line of the bidding. Like a dazzling star, it fell into the top three.


    Moreover, he had firmly secured the top ten spot.


    Yes, this country seemed extremely insignificant and nameless.


    However, they took out two hundred billion. The intention behind it was extremely obvious.


    They believed that if they only managed to get into the top ten, they might be easily forced back at thest moment.


    Therefore, they chose to dere their position in the top three.


    Even if they were squeezed out in the end, they would still be able to sit in the top ten. This was undoubtedly a safe investment.


    Everyone was shocked. They had never expected that this unknown country could actually disy such powerful strength and take out two hundred billion in one go.


    It was not enough to shake the foundation of a country.


    However, to them, it would definitely shake their own stability.


    However, who could have predicted that this country would be so determined?


    Their country''s leaders and higher-ups had thought it through carefully.


    Eternal Sun''s future was the continuation of their country''s destiny.


    They might be weak on this, but their hope was burning in Eternal Sun''s sky!


    If they could sessfully develop on Eternal Sun, they might be able to change their fates.


    However, there was a prerequisite that had to be met.


    It was to ensure that their development process would not be disturbed or invaded by any external civilization.


    For this reason, the power of the dome was crucial.


    Right now, the scene seemed to have entered a state of madness. Everyone was showing off their trump cards.


    They would spend a hundred billion, two hundred billion, or even higher.


    It felt as if a boulder had shot out of the sky. The atmosphere was heavy.


    Wu Mo looked at everything and finally calmed down.


    He knew that the dome had won another victory.


    After all, who could refuse such a device?


    The dome could envelop everyone within. This would allow them to develop on Eternal Sun in peace.


    Who wouldn''t be tempted by such a divine item?


    "Haha, Chief Engineer Wu, this is much more profitable than potions!"


    A researcher couldn''t help butugh like a blooming spring flower.


    Selling potions was profitable. For example, Life Second''s sales had once hit hundreds of millions, but now?


    Just one quota alone was equivalent to the annual sales of the entire drug.


    And here, there were a total of ten spots!


    At this moment, Wu Mo knew that the total price of the ten quotas would definitely exceed a trillion.


    Moreover, there were definitely some other factions that had yet to make their move. They were waiting for the final moment to catch him by surprise.


    Sure enough, when the final moment arrived, some people suddenly made a move and shouted a sky-high price!


    At this moment, it was as if they had entered a crazy auction.


    Everyone was doing their best to increase the bid, just to squeeze into the top ten spots.


    There were more than a hundred heads of state, but only ten of them were in the top ten.


    Thepetition was so intense, and the fight was so fierce. How could people imagine this?


    However, to everyone''s surprise, Wu Mo suddenly announced the end of the election.


    "The auction has ended!"


    Wu Mo''s cold voice suddenly rang out. Those who hadn''t had the time to speak immediately turned pale. They felt extremely regretful.


    "Oh, my God! All the roads have instantly been blocked!"


    At this moment, the long-awaited list was finally announced. On the golden words on the list, the names of the top ten countries were shining.


    The smiles on the faces of the heads of state who were lucky enough to be on the rankings were like chrysanthemums after autumn, golden and brilliant.


    However, the faces of those who failed the roll were filled with bitterness.


    And the one who drew the mostmentation was undoubtedly the person ranked eleventh.


    The distance between him and the top ten was only a mere five hundred thousand!


    "Puff!" When he saw the ranking, he spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyes were filled with endless sorrow and anger.

 Chapter 634 Sowing An Unshakable Seed On Eternal Sun

    ?


    Heavens!


    This is a tragedy. If I had the Thunderlord Divine Fire, I would have been killed!


    However, ording to the arena''s rules, if you lost, you had to admit defeat.


    Since they were strong, why was there such a small gap?


    For example, if he took out an extra a hundred million, wouldn''t he be able to crush his opponent under his feet?


    Therefore, although the difference in strength was huge, and luck might be able to control everything, the most fundamental thing was that one was unwilling to pay a heavy price!


    "Ladies and gentlemen, these ten lucky countries are about to enjoy the grace of our dome. As for those who were not selected, there is no need to be too anxious. The second auction is about to begin. We have a total of three chances for everyone to choose," Wu Mo announced.


    However, for some reason, when everyone saw Wu Mo''s smile, they felt a devilish fear.


    "Sigh, China has really profited greatly this time!"


    "There''s no other way. Our life and death are in their hands!"


    Every country''s leader walked out of the venue with a sense of decadence.


    In the future, they would undoubtedly be led by this dome.


    Not long after, a crack appeared on the dome.


    Under Wu Mo''smand, the magical device began to transform.


    This process was broadcasted live across the globe. Everyone''s eyes were wide open, wanting to see what magical things this dome could do.


    They saw that the dome slowly opened and began to change shape.


    It transformed from an oval shape like a lotus flower into a slender line.


    Then, this line gradually widened and extended into the distance that could not be reached by sight.


    Then, the two ends began to stretch out naturally and returned to the oval shape from before.


    Countless sensitive sensors shot out cold electric lights as if the gxy was flowing backward, surrounding the distant space.


    This scene made one''s heart beat faster, and an uncontroble tremble filled their hearts.


    "Oh, my God! The dome device can transform like that? It''s really mysterious!" Someone could not help but sigh.


    Wu Mo smiled indifferently. He knew that this was only the most basic function of the dome. The real key was its defensive ability.


    If an alien spaceship attacked these twenty-one dome devices, they would be killed.


    Then they would witness the true horror of the dome.


    He also had five mysterious chips in his hands. If he integrated them into the chip, he would be able to further increase the defense of the device.


    "Mr. Wu, the extension of the dome device has beenpleted. What should we do next?" aresearcher asked nervously.


    Wu Mo nodded. He signaled him to stay alert and monitor all the movements of the dome.


    If there were any idents, he needed to be informed immediately.


    The researcher nodded quickly and immediately went back to work.


    At the same time, the ten great nations received the news, and they were all ecstatic.


    They knew that their territory on Eternal Sun had beenpletely covered by the dome.


    They no longer needed to worry about any problems and could explore and develop to their heart''s content.


    They knew very well that an ancient civilization had once existed there.


    Therefore, they were very careful during the development process, afraid that they would destroy the cultural relics inside.


    One after another, some countries discovered some magical ruins of civilization.


    They found a machine that was simr to aputer, and it actually contained fragmented materials.


    Some mini games were replicated, and they surprised everyone.


    This was because these games were actually games that even human primary school students had yed.


    "I didn''t think that Eternal Sun would have created such a game. It seems that the path we''ve taken is shockingly simr to theirs!" The assistant revealed a rxed smile.


    In his hands, there were piles of information like mountains.


    He prepared to delve deeper into the ruins of Eternal Sun to find out what was unique about it.


    On this day, China had already built eight residential areas. Like the heart of the city, each of them beat with vitality.


    Following that, China began to gradually build some social facilities, banks, hospitals, and schools...


    Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner. These were the basic elements of a real city.


    China was progressing step by step to build arge city within half a year.


    This big city would be the center and gradually spread out in all directions.


    In the end, under the protection of the dome, a prosperousnd was established.


    "This... China has actually started to build a hospital? Is that true?"


    Many people around the world were stunned when they heard the news.


    They were still making progress, and their development speed was slow. Meanwhile, China had already started to build hospitals.


    Once the hospital was built, it would mean that everyone on Eternal Sun would be safe.


    If there were health problems, they could seek medical treatment on the instead of returning to Earth.


    This was undoubtedly a great convenience for the underlings.


    Soon, a model of arge hospital appeared in front of them. China''s construction ability made everyone feel awe.


    The medical equipment needed in the hospital was also ready. Once the order was given, it could be sent up via arge spaceship.


    Wu Mo nned to build a bank and a school after the first hospital was built. Even though these two ces were not as urgently needed as the hospital, they were still the most basicponent of the city and a key link to the realization of the city.


    Not long after, all three of them took root, and Wu Mo began to prepare to build a second city.


    After careful consideration, Wu Mo decided to name the first city "Dawn."


    "Oh, Dawn?"


    Everyone fell into deep thought when they heard this name.


    "This name is short and far-reaching, but it hides an endless charm. It''s indeed very exquisite."


    "That''s right. ''Dawn'' not only means that China is like the rising sun, but also a seed that will take root on Eternal Sun. In the future, it will grow into a towering tree!" the old chief said excitedly and satisfactorily.


    Wu Mo''s idea was indeed the case.


    With it as the center, it would radiate in all directions. It would give rise to at least eight cities and form a powerful city defense line.


    At that time, these nine cities would build a prosperous urban area, and the blueprint of human society would truly spread out.


    At that moment, the era of the''s immigration might begin.


    A group of people would have the opportunity to experience real human life here.


    In the process of development, Wu Mo carefully avoided damaging these precious relics.


    After all, Eternal Sun''s civilization had many unique reference values.


    At the same time, they were also worried that they might attract extraterrestrial invaders.


    Everyone still remembered the terrifying alien spaceships they saw not long ago.


    They had only sent out a few ships, yet they had destroyed the entire civilization on Eternal Sun. It was truly terrifying.


    "Don''t worry. With the dome device, such a tragedy won''t happen again!" Wu Mo said firmly.


    However, when mankind''s construction reached a certain level, bad luck suddenly came.


    On that day, a researcher shouted in surprise because the image on the screen suddenly changed drastically.


    "This is not good. Director Wu, something big has happened!"

 Chapter 635 Full Defense, The Alien Creature Is Furious

    ?


    The researcher''s phone call came anxiously.


    Wu Mo immediately put down his work and rushed into themand center.


    He nced at the screen and his face turned pale.


    Five terrifying spaceships appeared on the screen. They were mighty and filled with the aura of high technology.


    They were covered in dark paint, and every detail was domineering and intimidating.


    These five spaceships were like five sharp des. They lined up in a straight line and advanced slowly as they cut through the tranquility of the sky.


    The people in front of the screen held their breaths as if they were frozen in time.


    Coincidentally, the live broadcast camera was activated, and people all over the world were paying attention to this matter.


    They could clearly see that five spaceships from the deep universe had arrived silently.


    "Is this just a special effect?" someone eximed.


    "I think so too. The aura of these five ships is too domineering. They seem unreal!" someone echoed.


    "Wait, this might be a real universe ship, we''ll know when we see what happens." Another persontook a deep breath.


    At this moment, the world''s viewers were likepressed springs. They were nervous and filled with anticipation.


    Even though it was alreadyte at night, the number of people paying attention should have decreased.


    However, at this moment, his poprity did not decrease, but increased instead. The trend was all the way up!


    Wu Mo''s expression was grave. He had to analyze which civilization these spaceships came from and then take countermeasures.


    However, the five spaceships in outer space didn''t give him the chance.


    Because they had already begun to move!


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Only to see the leading ship shooting out beams of bright purple light.


    These rays were powerful and terrifying. They were enough to tten a tall building.


    The attack of the spaceship shocked the busy construction workers. They hurriedly hid in the prepared bomb shelter.


    They were panicking, and their hearts were beating wildly.


    The battle hade so suddenly that no one could react. Why would an extraterrestrial civilization suddenlye to Eternal Sun?


    Why didn''t it happen earlier, but at this moment?


    People thought about it and felt that the construction process had been too fast. They had the attention of these aliens.


    However, there were also some who believed that building a city on Eternal Sun was a necessary process. It would inevitably attract the attention of alien civilizations.


    At this moment, everyone''s hopes were pinned on the huge dome.


    They hoped that it would be able to withstand the attacks of all alien civilizations as expected. This would ensure that the development process of mankind was safe and sound.


    Like everyone else, Wu Mo stared at the dome.


    They held their breaths and thought to themselves that the dome must withstand the test.


    Otherwise, wouldn''t that mean that the investments of the major countries would go down the drain?


    A tense atmosphere enveloped everyone, and the most anxious ones were not Wu Mo or the ordinary people, but the leaders of the ten countries.


    They were worried about the performance of the dome device.


    Then, the money they invested would be wasted. When they returned to the country, where would their face be?


    At this moment, the first spaceship''s purple ray finallyunched its attack. It didn''t shoot randomly in the air.


    Instead, he directly and urately locked onto a luxurious residential area.


    The purple ray drew a magnificent trajectory in the air and seemed to have already bombarded the residential area.


    However, everyone could clearly see that the purple ray rippled in the air like ake before gradually dissipating into a purple airflow.


    This scene shocked the five universe ships as if a huge question had popped up in their minds.


    Inside the cockpits of the 5 spaceships, there was a strange-looking alien.


    Their heads were huge, and they only had one eye. Their limbs were long and thin, and their bodies were like discs. There was no skin on the surface, and they were filled with all kinds of strange tubes.


    One of the aliens seemed to be confused.


    But he quickly pressed a button, and the universe ship instantly rushed forward.


    At this moment, the purple ray directly upgraded to a terrifying ck ray.


    Dozens of these rays lined up side by side, like a destructive strike, theynded fiercely.


    The fear in the hearts of the people who saw these rays made their hearts beat violently. They held their breaths and did not dare to move at all.


    The people who were protected by the dome were trembling. Their eyes were filled with fear and nervousness.


    They could barely look at everything in front of them. In their fear, there were even people crying out in trembling voices.


    "Eternal Sun is too dangerous. We have to get them back!"


    However, at this critical moment, Wu Mo stepped forward andforted the people of the world with a firm voice.


    "Please rest assured, everyone. The dome ispletely capable of blocking all their attacks."


    Wu Mo''s promise made some people feel a little more at ease.


    But most people still had doubts about this mysterious dome device.


    They questioned whether the dome could protect them.


    If not, wouldn''t they lose their lives on Eternal Sun?


    As a result, they decided to return to Earth once this matter was over. They would never set foot on Eternal Sun again.


    Wu Mo knew that he had to make the entire human race confident in the dome.


    He took a deep breath and ordered, "Activate full defensive measures¡­"


    As soon as he finished speaking, a chip was activated.


    The moment the chip was activated, the dome in the distance was immediately strengthened.


    After a while, the dome device underwent a significant change, but no one noticed it.


    When the dozens of ck rays fiercely bombarded over, they seemed to have hit soft cotton and then disappeared without a trace.


    What was going on?


    Everyone was stunned.


    The whole world was stunned. Everyone stared at the screen in disbelief.


    There was no doubt that the power of those dozens of ck rays was extremely great.


    However, when these rays entered the range of the dome, they suddenly disappeared without a trace. What was going on?


    Everyone realized one possibility.


    The defensive capabilities of the dome were far beyond their imagination. It was enough to withstand the attacks of those rays.


    "This, this is impossible! Our dome actually blocked those rays? We actually doubted it so much before!"


    "Unbelievable¡­The defense of the dome is stronger than we imagined. Will we really be safe and sound?"


    "Haha! This is the power of China! Chief Engineer Wu and the dome device both are our pride! Hooray!"


    At this moment, people''s emotions were like surging waves.


    They were eager to see how the alien civilization would retreat.


    However, one of the extraterrestrials in the five spaceships was clearly furious.


    All the wires on his body immediately began to turn on, and a sizzling sound of electricity erupted.


    He brazenly grabbed the two control buttons and pulled them backward!

 Chapter 636 They Could Be The Culprits Who Destroyed The Civilization

    ?


    With two cking sounds, the five spaceships started moving simultaneously.


    They formed a semicircle, and the hugeuncher at the end spewed colorful mes.


    At the same time, a powerful air mass appeared on each spaceship.


    Wu Mo could clearly feel the terrifying power of the Destruction Ray within the ball of gas.


    The attack of these air masses would definitely bring about devastating consequences.


    Could the dome hold up at this time?


    Wu Mo had no time to think. He quickly crushed the second chip.


    The moment the chip broke, it immediately resonated with the dome device. Then, it triggered another wave of changes in the device.


    However, to everyone else, this change was like a gentle breeze.


    "Mr. Wu, I''m a little worried¡­ If the dome is destroyed in this round of attacks, the people of China..."


    An officer walked toward Wu Mo with a heavy expression.


    People all over the world were also worried.


    If the dome was really destroyed, would theirpatriots face a desperate situation?


    They began to regret taking the risk to develop such a.


    Many countries even decided to turn a blind eye to all extraterrestrials and abandon all development ns.


    They were immersed in fear, and the universe was filled with unknown civilizations.


    These civilizations were not friendly. Instead, they revealed a deep sense of aggression.


    A could be developed in an orderly manner, but it could be a sea of fire that could kill at any time. Even their ownnd could be affected.


    This painful realization made all the countries deeply regret it.


    However, no matter how much they regretted their decision, it was useless now.


    They could only hope that the dome could survive this catastrophe.


    Fortunately, these countries were all under the dome''s protection.


    The protection that they had once doubted and built with a huge sum of money was now showing its extremely important value.


    When the colorful balls of light fell like five bombs, the entire world seemed to be about to be destroyed.


    The roar was like the bell of the end of the world.


    Even though the dome was beyond imagination, Wu Mo''s nervousness was unavoidable.


    However, it was still unknown where the five spaceships hade from.


    Wu Mo made a judgment. These extraterrestrial creatures were at most from a Level 2 civilization, and the dome should be able to withstand their attacks.


    However, this was only spection. Whether it was true or not could only be determined based on the actual situation.


    However, after five explosions, the dome still stood.


    The people below wondered why the alien creatures'' attacks were so ineffective.


    The dome device stood upright and sessfully blocked the terrifying attack.


    The weight in their hearts was finally lifted. Cheers andughter echoed in the air.


    "Haha! It seems that the dome can really block everything!"


    On the other hand, the alien life forms in the five spaceships were in extreme pain.


    They could not believe that this so-called low-leveled civilization could withstand their strongest attack.


    Their attacks were like tickles in front of the dome.


    It was simply absurd!


    The entire world was in an uproar at this moment, and cheers soared into the sky.


    They did not expect the dome to be so insane.


    Those leaders who had spent a lot of money to get into the top ten jumped up with excitement on their faces. It was as if they had seen the dawn of a new light.


    Theymented their previous assumption. The huge amount of money they had invested in the past seemed to have received the return they deserved.


    They sat safely under the protection of the dome without fear.


    However, these aliens did not give up easily.


    They began to work together. The five spaceships each released terrifying rays that slowly gathered in the air. They formed a huge ball of light.


    People had developed a deep trust in the dome.


    However, the moment this ball of light appeared, everyone''s hearts almost stopped.


    "This... This... Will the dome hold?"


    Everyone''s chest felt tight with fear.


    They knew that this was definitely the aliens'' strongest attack.


    If they could block this attack, they would bepletely at ease. They could then ignore the five spaceships.


    The sky shook and the ground trembled. The terrifying ball of light fell down like a meteor that could destroy the world.


    Everyone was in no mood to do anything else. Their eyes were wide open and their faces were filled with fear.


    They widened their mouths and did not even dare to blink. They just stared at the falling ball of light.


    Wu Mo''s heartbeat almost stopped, and all the researchers held their breaths.


    The world seemed to be suspended in midair. It was unable to fall to the ground.


    In an instant, the world seemed to stop, and there were no fluctuations in the air.


    The terrifying explosion did not happen as expected.


    Wu Mo felt as if a god was performing a miracle and freezing everything in the universe.


    However, three breaths of time passed.


    All the tension in the atmosphere was instantly broken, and everything began to explode.


    There was a loud bang in his ears, and the white light in front of him covered the sky. Everything became blurry.


    "From the looks of it, this is definitely a Level 2 civilization or above. Otherwise, how could they have such terrifying attack methods?"


    The researcher''s voice reverberated in the air, and it carried unconceble anger.


    Wu Mo was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly. "These creatures are most likely the annihtors of Eternal Sun."


    Hearing this conclusion, everyone''s chest tightened.


    If this terrifying attack continued, even a developed advanced civilization city would be directly destroyed. There was no doubt about this.


    Moreover, people noticed a deeper problem.


    Did this alien civilization have some sort of deep hatred for Eternal Sun?


    "Why are they always turning on this?" someone asked in confusion.


    "It''s as if they''re patrolling their own territory. Once they discover the movements of outsiders in their territory, they won''t hesitate to eliminate thempletely. This civilization is merciless!"


    The moment the smoke dispersed, everyone''s eyes were fixed on the screen.


    Their hearts were about to drop. Could the dome really withstand all this?


    "Hahaha, look, the device is still intact. It''s great!" Aresearcher''s excited voice broke the tense atmosphere.


    Wu Mo smiled as well. The dome did not budge at all. It was as sturdy as a shield, and it blocked all attacks.


    It protected the entire city of Dawn and the people of every country.


    Under the dome''s protection, the construction workers walked out of the bomb shelter.


    They had confident smiles on their faces.


    They looked at the spaceship outside with contempt.


    "Hah! Aliens? How dare they provoke us?" one of the workers said mockingly.


    He looked at the spaceships with provocation in his eyes.


    When the extraterrestrials in the spaceship saw this, they fell silent.


    "This is unbelievable. These creatures from the low-level civilization have the audacity to provoke us in public?" one of the aliens cursed in a low voice.


    His tone was full of disdain and shock.

 Chapter 637 The Intense Battle For Entry

    ?


    "What kind of mysterious device is this? Such a solid defense was definitely not something that a low-level civilization could create. What was going on?"


    The other alien also sent out a suspicious light wave signal, which instantly spread between the four of them.


    After a series of intensive discussions, they decided to retreat temporarily.


    There was nothing they could do. They could not break through the dome''s defense for the time being.


    Even though the joint attack just now was already the most terrifying attack that their ships of this level could unleash.


    If they wanted to strengthen their attacks, they could only return to their home and take out more powerful devices.


    However, their home was quite far away from here, and it would take a lot of time to travel back and forth.


    Helplessly, the five spaceships could only slowly change course and prepare to leave.


    When people saw the extraterrestrial creatures leave, the world erupted in cheers.


    "Hey, you guys left so quickly. We were looking forward to you guys continuing the fight!" someone shouted in a mocking tone.


    "Haha, don''t celebrate too early. Maybe these guys wille back!"


    The other person said in a half-joking and half-warning tone.


    "What are we afraid of them for? The instation is so sturdy. With it, we are fearless of any civilization''s invasion," someone said.


    "Come to think of it, why doesn''t our have a dome?"


    At this moment, a huge question popped up in the bullet screen.


    However, they didn''t know that Wu Mo had already considered this question.


    As the human world had entered the stage of urban development, it was very difficult to protect the entire within the dome.


    The ones who regretted it the most were the countries that did not try their best to get ten spots.


    This was because some of their bases on Eternal Sun had beenpletely destroyed.


    "Mr. Wu, when will the second auction be held? We also hope to obtain a protective quota."


    At this moment, a national representative immediately contacted Wu Mo.


    Wu Mo pondered for a moment and said firmly, "It''ll be in three days. Please be punctual."


    However, he knew in his heart that there was no need for him to remind them. All parties woulde as promised.


    With the idental invasion of the extraterrestrial creatures, everyone realized the importance of the dome.


    What seemed like a crazy investment in the past was undoubtedly a n by a wise man today. Everything he paid was worth it.


    The capital they had invested in on Eternal Sun was at least a hundred billion or even more.


    And this also carried a huge expectation for the future.


    However, after being wiped out by the alien civilization, their losses were several times greater.


    Three days passed, and the auction began as promised.


    This auction attracted many sponsors. After all, it had be the focus of global attention.


    Any knowledgeable person would not let go of such a business opportunity.


    It was worth mentioning that this auction was seen as a global event, and there were many businesses willing to invest.


    The sponsors were almost racking their brains to get a good spot.


    The venue of the auction was chosen to be thergest stadium in China. It was surrounded by arge number of security personnel to prevent any possible riots.


    At this moment, big shots arrived at the venue in luxury cars.


    As soon as they got out of the car, they looked around with hostile eyes.


    In this auction, other than the ten members who obtained the first opportunity, the rest of the people couldpete with each other and the winner would be decided in the end.


    However, the previous ten members could not enjoy the protection of the dome once and for all.


    Instead, after paying a certain amount of money, they could enjoy the free protection of the dome for a fixed period of time.


    However, the deadline was only half a year. In other words, all their investments would be in vain after half a year!


    Those who wished to continue enjoying the protection of the dome would have to pay again.


    Many people cried out that they had been tricked into investing hundreds of billions.


    How could anyone ept that he would only receive protection for half a year?


    However, Wu Mo did not waver.


    His tone was cold and hard, like the sound of a war drum echoing in the air.


    "If anyone is unwilling to ept the continuous protection of the dome, please choose to withdraw without hesitation. If he changed his mind halfway, China would return fifty percent of themission as a gentleman."


    This statement was like a bolt of lightning that pierced through the night. It showed China''s firm stance. They might have already begun to burn with anger.


    The dome was a ray of light for Eternal Sun and a line of defense built for them. They only needed to invest in insignificant worldly possessions.


    Everyone remembered it in their hearts. Their future and hopey on Eternal Sun.


    As long as they could shine on that and build more brilliant achievements, what did money mean?


    Therefore, under such circumstances, no country dared to withdraw from the protection of the dome.


    In this auction, every participant was bleeding in the fierce battle. Would withdrawing not be the act of a fool?


    Inside the venue, people stared at the stage with wide eyes.


    The number of people participating in the auction had reached an astonishing two hundred.


    "Are representatives from all the countries in the world gathered here?!" someone eximed in a low voice.


    This was unbelievable. Everyone sat there and waited quietly.


    Then, a group of high-ranking officials and Wu Mo slowly walked onto the stage.


    This auction was hosted by Wu Mo.


    Several officers and the project manager apanied him and answered all kinds of questions at any time.


    Wu Mo walked steadily, his expression solemn as he slowly said, "Thank you foring to the auction despite your busy schedule. Now, the auction officially begins!"


    Immediately after, China announced the coverage of the dome and the areas that could be extended and deformed.


    Wu Mo''s voice was like a great bell, calm and full of power.


    "The dome can extend directly to about five thousand kilometers away.


    In other words, there are ten countries that can enjoy our protection services this time."


    After saying that, everyone''s eyes instantly flickered.


    On the big screen, the area covered by a virtual line was like a solemn and mysterious ivory tower.


    Anyone who developed and built there would have nothing to worry about, let alone the threat of alien civilizations.


    "Mr. Wu, can we start bidding?" a representative asked anxiously.


    Every member of theary Alliance was like a wild horse that had not been released.


    They were all eager to charge forward.


    This was because these ten spots were like the most dazzling treasures to them. No one was willing to give them up easily.


    Wu Mo nodded and replied, "Let''s begin."


    He could not foresee that his words would trigger a crazy bidding storm.


    "I bid a hundred and fifty billion!"


    The first voice suddenly broke the silence of the venue. This person''s determination was almost crazy.


    "A hundred and fifty billion? How generous! If he raised such a high price from the start, would there still be any room for others topete?"


    At this moment, his actions attracted everyone''s attention. Everyone felt a little ufortable.


    After all, this price was like a high mountain that blocked the path of others.


    However, this fierce bid forced out those who had been in the shadows. They could no longer hide.


    This also meant that those who originally wanted to take the opportunity to steal the tower had no way to do so.

 Chapter 638 Dark Horse

    ?


    A smile shed across Wu Mo''s face. This radical bidder had caused the price to soar.


    It would undoubtedly fetch him a huge profit.


    The high-ranking officials and the person in charge of the research project were all filled with anticipation.


    This time, would the value of the dome device exceed the two trillion mark?


    Then, someone shouted, "Two hundred billion!"


    This sound was like a war drum. It told everyone that the intensity of thepetition would reach a new height.


    After all, the dome device had already triggered a fierce price war without any actualbat experience.


    The dome looked like a divine object as it stood before everyone''s eyes.


    It was as solid as a rock, and it could resist the rampant invasion of advanced alien civilizations.


    The magnificent scene left a deep impression in the hearts of the people.


    It had be a treasure in the eyes of the entire world, and countless people were willing to pay an immeasurable price for it.


    "I bid three hundred billion!"


    A person stepped forward. His tone was resolute, and his eyes were firm.


    His statement was reminiscent of a heavy bomb exploding in the crowd. The ce instantly fell into shocked silence.


    "Three hundred billion¡­"


    Countless people turned to him in an instant, and theplicated emotions revealed in their gazes were like a raging tide.


    They were shocked and suspicious of him. They were also cursing this person''s madness in their hearts.


    Three hundred billion was casually offered as if he was holding endless wealth in his hands.


    He did not care about the pressure that this huge number brought to the people around him.


    However, since this price had already appeared, the others in the arena had to follow suit.


    Otherwise, they might be left behind, and they would not be able to obtain this precious spot in the end.


    This bidder also suffered from everyone''s disdain and ridicule.


    They questioned whether his mind was normal, but this did not change his determination and madness.


    At the same time, Wu Mo stood quietly at the side. His eyes were filled with calmness and wisdom.


    He knew that the bidding war was far from reaching the most critical point.


    There were also those true experts lurking in the dark. They were waiting for the right opportunity to strike.


    "Heh! Look out for the true experts. They''ll show their edge at the crucial moment!" Wu Mo said indifferently to the person beside him.


    The person next to him was a military officer with outstanding military achievements.


    He and Wu Mo had fought side by side in the battle against the sea monsters. Hence, the two of them were already familiar with each other.


    Hearing Wu Mo''s words, he smiled and nodded.


    "It seems that these wolves have already smelled blood, and they''re sharpening their knives!" The Pir-level officer smiled coldly and said to Wu Mo softly.


    The two of them swept their eyes across the crowd and looked at the experts who were hiding amongst them.


    Their facial expressions seemed to be struggling in the depths of bitterness, and it was difficult to hide the underlying tension.


    Each of them seemed to be bound by steel chains. They brought their missions and goals there.


    All of this was for the sake of obtaining one of the ten precious spots at the lowest possible price.


    However, now that the price had skyrocketed, they had to keep a low profile and hide their strength.


    Such conflict could not be stopped. It would likely destroy the lively atmosphere.


    That would be a step that would make them bear a serious crime, and they would be despised by the people of the country.


    After all, if he could get into the top ten spots, he would be able to do so.


    They would be able to create a new world for humans on Eternal Sun.


    If their dreams were to be broken, then they would bear the me of the entire country.


    Under the immense pressure, the first hidden powerhouse finally stood up.


    "I bid five hundred billion!"


    "Five hundred billion?!"


    The entire crowd fell into a dead silence.


    The huge number was like a bomb exploding in the crowd.


    Everyone was dumbstruck, and the shocking number kept echoing in their minds.


    Previously, everyone had been fumbling between three hundred billion and five hundred billion. It was estimated that the final candidate should be within this range.


    However, this person actually offered five hundred billion.


    This was equivalent to pushing everyone to the edge of the cliff.


    Shock shed across Wu Mo''s eyes. He did not expect the auction to be so exciting.


    At the same time, he also knew that five hundred billion only covered the cost of the past six months.


    Who knew if this investment would end up as a gain or loss?


    Wu Mo looked at the people in front of him who were stunned by the huge number. Then, he turned to look at the officer beside him.


    He really wanted to get some information from the officer''s eyes.


    It was obvious that the strength of this silent man was not ordinary.


    He had not spoken up until now. There was no doubt that he was fighting in secret. He was trying to strike the final blow.


    "Everyone, there are three minutes left until the end."


    Wu Mo''s cold voice suddenly cut through the tense atmosphere.


    This sentence was earth-shattering, and everyone instantly tensed up.


    Time flowed mercilessly like quicksand in an hourss.


    Those who wanted to give it a shot suddenly began to feel anxious.


    Right now, the slots had basically been locked in. Anyone who bid five hundred billion would undoubtedly obtain a slot.


    This was an indisputable fact.


    Those who smiled and controlled the situation with three hundred billion could also ensure a ce for themselves.


    However, at thest moment of the countdown, someone suddenly stood up like a ghost that walked out of the invisible darkness. "I bid eight hundred billion!" he said coldly.


    "What? Eight hundred billion?"


    Everyone''s expression instantly froze. The atmosphere in the entire venue was as quiet as a frozenke.


    Six hundred billion was enough to get a spot.


    It meant that he had sessfully snatched the tower, but he had directly offered eight hundred billion. What did this mean?


    Was the extra two hundred billion going to be blown away by the wind?


    Was this a favor?


    Wu Mo, the other officers, and the person-in-charge looked at each other with deep doubt in their eyes.


    This person''s actions were abnormal. He might have another purpose.


    The answer to this question could only be revealed after the bidding was over.


    Finally, the countdown was over, and the top ten spots were announced.


    It was as if spring hade to the country''s top leaders. Their faces were filled with joy and happy smiles. This formed a sharp contrast to those who failed.


    Their faces were filled with worry as if they had been caught off guard. It was even more ufortable than eating a fly.


    However, even if they lost their spots now, they still had a third chance at the election.


    Every half a year, all countries had the right to choose whether or not to renew their contracts. If they were unwilling, those quotas could be given to other people with lofty aspirations.


    This thought was like a spring breeze blowing through the hearts of the leaders of each country. They instantly felt excited.


    Following that, Wu Mo walked straight to the small lounge with a few muscr officers.


    At this moment, the winners of the top ten spots were also gathered there.


    Wu Mo needed to exin some things to them and remind them to pay attention to some details.


    Wu Mo also knew that thispetition was different from the past.


    One person had brazenly made a move and thrown out a terrifying figure of eight hundred billion.


    This was definitely a sign.

 Chapter 639 A Collaboration Requires A Cooperative Attitude

    ?


    That was that there was something that needed to be negotiated between this person and China.


    Just as he predicted, after this small meeting ended, the heads of each country were ready to leave.


    However, the person who had ced thest bid was sitting in the corner unfazed.


    Wu Mo''s heart skipped a beat, and he decided to receive this person personally.


    Two muscr officers apanied him and sat in front of the man. They stared at him and waited for him to speak.


    The bald national leader stood up with a smile on his face.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, officers, good afternoon! I''d like to discuss a long-term coboration with you. I wonder if you''re interested?"


    "What?! Long-term coboration?" Wu Mo was slightly taken aback..


    His confusion stemmed from the background of the current era. China''s strength was unparalleled in the world, and no country could be as famous as it.


    In that case, why did the national leader have such strong confidence and hope to cooperate with China?


    His eyes were filled with sincerity as if he was asking for help. It was impossible to look straight at him.


    Wu Mo and the two military officers looked at each other and smiled. It was as if there was a knife in each other''s smile.


    The bald national leaer instantly felt a chill in his heart.


    He began to regret that he should have brought a lobbyist with him so that he could prepare for a debate.


    "Mr. Wu, we found arge amount of oil in a base on Eternal Sun!"


    "Oil?"


    Wu Mo''s eyes suddenly lit up, and the two officers were equally surprised.


    Oil was a precious resource!


    "Yes, Mr. Wu. We know that the controble nuclear fusion reactor you created can provide electricity forrge-scale facilities. However, the reality is that cars still rely on oil as their power source."


    The bald leader''s eyes were firm, and his tone was full of confidence.


    In the current era, controble nuclear fusion reactors had be the new darling of energy.


    However, for moving objects such as cars, electricity still could notpletely rece fuel.


    Although the fuel vehicle market had shrunk, it had notpletely withdrawn from the historical stage.


    Excavators, heavy equipment on the construction site, etc. still require oil are still in every corner of our lives.


    Even though the demand for oil had been greatly reduced.


    However, it was not reduced to zero. Human society still needed oil to meet basic needs.


    The leader before him was the one who had discovered the rich reserves of oil on Eternal Sun. They hoped to use these oil resources to supply energy for the country.


    However, their country''s oil extraction technology wasgging behind. They hoped that China would lend a helping hand and help them extract the oil.


    China would help them with the mining, and in return, China would get a portion of the oil.


    "How about it, Mr. Wu? This n should be attractive enough. We have an abundance of oil reserves on Eternal Sun. I believe China will be able to obtain a lot of it."


    The leader looked at Wu Mo with anticipation.


    He knew that as long as Wu Mo approved of this n, their coboration would go smoothly.


    Wu Mo did not answer immediately. He silently evaluated the proposal in his heart.


    He was rather surprised. Why had he not discovered so many resources on Eternal Sun before?


    China''s development team had been exploring Eternal Sun.


    However, other than discovering the ruins of the alien civilization, there had been no gains from Eternal Sun''s oil fields, gold mines, or rare metals.


    Was this a hint that China needed to develop the?


    "Alright. I''m willing to coborate with you!"


    Wu Mo''s voice was like the sound of nature. It gently echoed in the sealed meeting room.


    The bald leader was instantly ecstatic.


    He knew that he had arrived with a mission as heavy as Mount Tai. Finally, he had a bright future.


    He knew that with Wu Mo''s approval, he was halfway there.


    He was excited to see how deep his coboration with Wu Mo would go in the future.


    Wu Mo''s eyes were deep as he slowly said, "However, I hope that after mining, we can get forty percent of the oil share. What do you think?"


    "Forty percent?"


    The bald leader was stunned. A forty-percent share was almost half of the oil production value.


    They would only help with the mining. They would not be fully responsible for it. Wasn''t this request too much?


    However, he could only whisper to himself.


    He knew that once he said that, his nation would fall out with China. That would undoubtedly be fatal for them.


    "Mr. Wu, please reconsider! Forty percent is too much for us," he cried.


    If he returned with such a reply, he would probably be attacked by the people.


    "You have oil fields, but you can''t exploit them. It''s the same as having treasures but can''t see them. Now that we''re helping you exploit them, you can still enjoy more than half of the profits."


    Wu Mo slowly blew out a smoke ring and spoke as if no one was around.


    The way he smoked made it seem like smoking could help him maintain his inner peace. It gave him the greatest enjoyment and rxation.


    Although he did not have the habit of smoking, he would asionally smoke one or two cigarettes when he needed to think.


    "Mr. Wu, I admit that your point of view is reasonable, but I need to discuss it with the leaders of our country. What do you think?"


    "Sure, but I need you to call me and give me an answer in ten minutes. You know my time is precious."


    Wu Mo''s response was cold. It left almost no room for discussion.


    The bald leader felt ashamed. He knew that he hadpletely lost this negotiation.


    In the end, there was no way out. The bald leader could only dial the phone that determined his fate under everyone''s watchful eyes.


    "Alright. Tell Mr. Wu that we ept his conditions."


    The voice on the other end sounded tired and helpless, but there was no choice.


    The bald leader felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His mouth was wide open, and his mind was filled with buzzing sounds. It was as if he had just fallen off the edge of a cliff.


    He found it hard to believe. The leaders above him were famous for being stingy, and they rarely spoke.


    To be more precise, it was about saving to the point of considering the entire country.


    However, at this moment, they were helpless before Wu Mo''s conditions. They could only bow down and beg for mercy.


    "Mr. Wu, we ept your conditions."


    As soon as he finished speaking, he felt as if he had been emptied of all his strength.


    He had always been a master of negotiation. He could always aim at the other party''s weakness and get the results he wanted.


    However, his negotiation with Wu Mo allowed him to experience his opponent''s terrifying power.


    ''He''s amazing! Truly amazing!''


    He gave Wu Mo a thumbs up in his heart and admitted defeat.


    Not long after, Wu Mo would be working with the relevant Chinese organizations to develop the oil fields.


    A team of explorers quickly boarded arge civilian ship and arrived in Eternal Sun.


    They had aprehensive n for the oil field, so they streamed the mining process to the global audience in real time.


    Wu Mo was not personally involved because he was still paying close attention to the development of the five great potions.


    He found that the sales of the five major potions were gradually stabilizing and continuing to grow.


    This was not because people''s enthusiasm for potions had waned.


    It was because people had already regarded these potions as an indispensable part of their lives.


    Wu Mo nced at the sales of the potions.


    He realized that these potions could not be abandoned.

 Chapter 640 Getting Rich Overnight

    ?


    People started to think.


    Why were these five great potions so deeply embedded in people''s lives that they could never be abandoned?


    After careful consideration, they finally realized that the potions had prated into every sector of human life and be a part of it.


    It was difficult to give up on them.


    Who could give up the eternal youth and longevity that the Life potions provided?


    Who could throw away the vigor that the energy serum bestowed?


    Besides, who among those were once crippled would willingly return to their painful past?


    At this moment, Wu Mo saw a scene that piqued his interest.


    An oil field that was about to be developed was revealed on the screen.


    The entire construction team would focus on the deep exploitation of this oil field.


    "Look! I heard that China''s going to help another country develop some oil fields. Is that true?"


    "Oh, my God! China is unfathomably powerful. They''re mining oil fields on Eternal Sun. The equipment has to be incredibly expensive!"


    "The price isn''t a problem. The main point is how challenging it will be. After all, we''re talking about another. This is not our own backyard!"


    "Yes, but I don''t think this will be a big deal for China.


    "Look!


    "Their team is ready!"


    In the blink of an eye, the Chinese mining team had begun to move.


    An enormous piece of mining equipment slowly sank into the ground and started to spin endlessly.


    Di di di¡­


    The sound seemed to pass through the screen and hit the viewers'' hearts.


    Everyone stared at the screen without blinking.


    The mining process was carried out at lightning speed, and the device was driven hundreds of meters underground.


    The oil underground was partially fluid like a gel.


    After it was processed, it could be turned into the oil that wemonly use.


    Wu Mo looked at the screen intently. As the mining process progressed, the scale of the entire oil field was about to surface.


    When the entire oil field appeared before them, everyone gasped in disbelief.


    "This is impossible. My eyes are deceiving me!" asurvey expert could not help but exim.


    Even Wu Mo put down what he was doing. He had a serious look on his face.


    No one could have expected what was reflected on the screen at this moment. It was an oil field of an astonishing scale.


    An oil field that was tens of thousands of square meters in size and hundreds of meters deepy there quietly. The huge reserve was terrifying.


    "Hahaha! We''ve be rich overnight!"


    The country that owned the oil field was the first to be ecstatic.


    ording to the rules of theary Alliance, all the resources within the range of a country''s base on Eternal Sun belonged to said country.


    The huge oil field was no different from a windfall for the country''s people.


    However, their faces turned pale right after their initial joy. It was as if they were about to cry.


    "This is bad! This is really bad! We''ll have to give forty percent of the shares to China. I want to find a rope and hang myself with it!"


    On the contrary, China''s representative who was in charge of the project, its senior military officers, and the insiders who knew about this were all grinning from ear to ear.


    The bigger the oil field, the more they would earn.


    After all, China had the right to enjoy forty percent of the profits ording to the agreement.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, we''ve made a huge profit this time! Forty percent is an astonishing number!" aresearcher said to Wu Mo with a smile.


    Wu Mo never thought the agreement that he had casually signed would bring such shocking benefits.


    He had assumed that it was just a small oil field. He did not expect an enormous oil field to be hidden there.


    An oil field like that would definitely be the focus of attention even in China.


    Before the watchful eyes of the global audience, the oil field''s development went into full swing.


    China''s base had surpassed the entire world in terms of efficiency. It was almost like they used magic to get where they were.


    All the oil under the field was extracted, and this formed a huge oil well.


    The well did not require a water pump, and the great horsepower alone could suck out the gel-like oil.


    Of course, this was only the initial process. After the oil slick on the surface of the field was extracted, the oil field would bepletely destroyed.


    The slightly-solidified oil was easily transported out viarge-scale mining equipment.


    The entire process was long and slow. It seemed uninteresting.


    However, the leaders of every country were excited when they saw what was happening.Nevertheless, there were still some who were sad.


    At this moment, another message came. The dome was about to start transforming.


    Upon hearing this, the national leaders who had recently obtained a share of the oil field were filled with anticipation.


    "Look! It''s started to change shape again!"


    Some of the viewers'' attention was also drawn to the live stream.


    The dome device resembled a huge mushroom. It slowly opened up, and its shape became wider.


    Whenever the huge "parachute" covered a farther spot, the distance between the sensor joints would also increase ordingly.


    All of this did not seem to be a big deal because its range could change.


    It just meant that another ten countries would be surrounded by the dome.


    Not long after, the dome devicepleted its transformation. Its coverage increased by at least tens of thousands of kilometers.


    However, this was only the beginning! Next, the dome device covered all the sensor joints at the edge of the device. It then released powerful wires to form a huge power grid.


    This electric was iparably powerful. It could iste all foreign objects with a pressure that far exceeded human imagination. But there was still more to the dome''s protection.


    It hid countless secrets. Even Wu Mo had not been able to figure them out.


    However, he did not need to know about all of them. He just needed to utilize its defensive abilities.


    Why did he have to figure out every single thing? Would that not be troublesome?


    Once the domepletely opened up, the ten countries would bepletely covered. The bases in each country could then be developed in peace.


    However, there was a small interlude during the transformation process.


    During the dome''s expansion, it covered a country that did not receive a share of the oil field.


    The country''s leader was overjoyed for a moment. He thought that he might get an unexpected surprise.


    His base was unintentionally surrounded. As a result, he could enjoy the dome''s protection for free. What wonderful treatment!


    Unfortunately, his expression changed before he could smile properly.


    In the next moment, the dome device disyed its unique shapeshifting ability.


    It twisted its body like a giant snake and brushed past the edge of his country. After that, it expanded to cover another country.


    His country was cruelly ridiculed in response, and viewers around the world burst intoughter.


    "Ha! This is what happens when a country tries to take advantage of the dome. They really underestimated the dome!"


    Amidst theughter, the dome remained the same as before. It hung in the air and formed a transparent protective.


    Every country had felt a sense of pressure as if there was a huge lid on their heads. This eased the fear in their hearts a little.


    The oil field was still being exploited. Wu Mo also instructed the construction team to pay close attention to the luxury residential area. He wanted to see if there were any new archaeological ruins.


    The ruins of the civilization in the luxurious residential area had been properly protected. In addition, the team was conducting research day and night.


    Once there was a major discovery, they had to inform Wu Mo immediately.


    As the excavation continued, thend waspletely emptied.

 Chapter 641 Destroy Them If They Provoke Us

    Everyone knew that there were only modern furniture and electrical appliances there.


    There were not many secrets. The only thing worth mentioning was the chip in theputer. It recorded information about the past civilization and events in the previous years.


    "Director Wu, the Astronomy Department has made a major discovery. Would you like to go over and check it out?" an astrologer immediately reported to Wu Mo.


    Wu Mo nodded and decided to personally take a look.


    When he arrived at the spacemand center, he saw that the spaceships with the astronauts were ready to return.


    They had been flying in the deep space outside the Taal Neb for a long time.


    By now, they had slowed down. They were traveling close to light speed and returning quickly.


    "Why are theying back all of a sudden?" Wu Mo did not understand.


    Although the spaceship had been flying for a long time, they had advanced technologies such as dark matter, antimatter, and controble nuclear fusion reactors.


    In theory, it should be able to circte infinitely in the vacuum of the universe.


    The researcher smiled bitterly and said in a trembling voice, "Mr. Wu, they-they have nothing to eat."


    "I see."


    Wu Mo smiled in surprise. He didn''t expect such a question.


    The nutrient fluids they had prepared earlier had all been used up.


    If they continued to act ording to the n, they would probably starve to death in the sea of stars.


    "Interster travel doesn''t only require the vast space and technology of spaceships, but it also requires materials."


    Wu Mo had a vague idea.


    However, all of a sudden, the light on the screen slowly rose. It brought with it a familiar yet unfamiliar feeling.


    Wu Mo instantly locked his eyes on it like a cheetah hunting its prey. He said sharply, "Be alert. There might be a spaceship approaching us."


    Everyone was instantly shocked when they heard his words. "What?! A spaceship?" they asked in disbelief.


    Looking carefully ahead, it was indeed a spaceship, and it was huge. Everyone carefully examined its shape and immediately gasped.


    "Heavens! Is that a spaceship from Dark Star?!" a researcher eximed.


    The Astronomy Department had a strict record of the weapons and equipment of every alien civilization.


    At this moment, a Dark Star spaceship was before them.


    "Why? Those devilish Dark Starlings are reallying back to life. Are they still thinking about their defeat in the previous battle? Do they want revenge?" A researcher gritted his teeth in anger.


    Wu Mo''s eyes were like torches as he said in a deep voice, "Since they want revenge, we should prepare the Mountain Sea Fleet. We will leave a deep impact on them!"


    Hearing Wu Mo''s words, everyone present was so frightened that their hearts beat faster.


    "Heavens! Has Chief Engineer Wu really decided to deploy the Mountain Sea Fleet?"


    The Mountain Sea Fleet was the sharpest sword on the battlefield.


    Every spaceship was equipped with the most advancedbat system.


    Every chip and metal in Wu Mo''s hands contained his unique design that borrowed from heaven and earth and the universe.


    The Mountain Sea Fleet was almost entirely the fruit of his hard work.


    The fifty spaceships he had personally built, each of them was the crystallization of the integration of heaven and man, technology, and willpower.


    All of mankind was waiting eagerly to see how the Mountain Sea Fleet''s debut would be.


    However, there was no doubt that the first appearance of the Mountain Sea Fleet would not be a grand one. They would directly participate in the battle.


    At this time, Wu Mo had already informed the Defense Department to prepare for battle and be on standby.


    The scale of fifty spaceships undoubtedly gave humanity a strong confidence in defense.


    In the face of the challenge from Dark Star, mankind had the absolute initiative and was not afraid of any risks.


    This was because they were waiting for the arrival of Dark Star''s spaceship.


    Even so, Wu Mo was still worried that this human spaceship might be hit by Dark Star''s spaceship.


    This worry soon became a reality.


    Dark Star''s flying ship was currently chasing after them at lightning speed.


    In fact, their spaceship had already surpassed twice the speed of light, and it was still elerating.


    "That d*mn speed is simply unbelievable," Wu Mo cursed.


    On the screen, a white light slowly appeared.


    This was a powerful ray from a dark star, and it was also the most terrifying attack method in the universe.


    Suddenly, the sound of a satellite detection rang in everyone''s ears.


    This voice appeared in an instant, and everyone felt a bad premonition.


    As expected, the human spaceship was grazed by the beam.


    At the critical moment, the experienced astronauts immediately activated emergency eleration.


    The spaceship dodged the beam attack in an instant.


    Otherwise, if this attack hit the ship, it would instantly shatter into pieces.


    However, even so, the tail of the spaceship was still unable to escape the cmity, and arge portion of it was directly cut off by the ray.


    As a result, the spaceship lost its bnce and fell down like an arrow.


    At this moment, it could no longer reach the human world.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, the situation is critical!"


    One of the spaceshipmanders solemnly said, "We have to find a way quickly. Otherwise, their fate will probably remain in this sea of stars forever."


    At this moment, Wu Mo quickly gave the order.


    "Mountain Sea Fleet, move out immediately! The first group of ten ships, their target--"


    As the Mountain Sea Fleet''s chiefmander, Wu Mo had the authority to give orders and adjust battle ns.


    At this moment, he exercised this power.


    The ten fastest spaceships in front formed the first echelon to rescue theirpatriots.


    And this time, their goal was undoubtedly to give those arrogant Dark Star a vicious blow.


    He wanted them to understand that humans were not people they could bully.


    Following that, the ten spaceships carried humanity''s hope and determination as they charged toward Dark Star.


    However, such a shocking scene could not be directly shown to the audience around the world through the live broadcast camera.


    However, the members of theary Alliance could see it clearly!


    Through the video sharing, they saw ten small dots flying toward them at an rming speed in the dark background.


    Soon, they had already broken through the speed of light and continued to elerate until they were almost twice the speed of light!


    "Impossible! China''s spaceships can actually reach twice the speed of light?"


    The representatives of each country were stunned.


    What he knew was that other than China, these countries had also developed superluminal spaceships.


    However, they were only slightly faster than light speed and could not reach twice the speed.


    From the looks of it, China''s spaceship was at least twice as fast as theirs.


    All of this undoubtedly dealt a huge blow to the pride of these countries.


    "Sigh. Forget it. In the end, we can''tpete with China."


    The representatives of the various countries smiled bitterly.


    The sudden appearance of the ten Mountain Sea Fleet members caused their hearts to tremble. It was as if mountains and rivers had copsed, and all living beings had fallen.


    These ten spaceships, be it in terms of design aesthetics or technical performance, were enough to overshadow the products of all other countries.


    Next, they would have to wait and see the performance of these ten spaceships.

 Chapter 642 The Situation Isnt Right

    Very quickly, the ten spaceships from the Mountain Sea Fleet flew through space like the wind and entered the battle zone.


    Within therge spaceship of Dark Star, within the huge cockpit, five Dark Star people were in an urgent discussion.


    They used their ownnguages to pass on thetest information and battle reports to each other.


    " A spaceship from a low-leveled civilization has already entered our attack range. Do you want to attack immediately?"


    "Turn them into nothingness!"


    The order he gave to the Dark Starlings was cold and decisive. He was determined to turn all of China''s spaceships into ashes.


    The battle was about to begin, and Wu Mo was in charge.


    A group of aerospace experts and the military''s top generals appeared together. They stared nervously at the screen.


    It was worth mentioning that the old general had another mission and had not appeared for the time being.


    On the screen, the image transmitted by the ultra-long-distance aerial satellite was clearly disyed.


    Therge universe ship of Dark Star suddenly extended tens of ck cannons.


    Intense rays of light gathered in the barrel. These were the rays with the strongest attack power.


    At this moment, the Chinese people were so nervous that their palms were sweating.


    Furthermore, through the sharing of the video, every high-ranking member of theary Alliance felt nervous.


    Whether or not they could sessfully defend against Dark Star''s terrifying attack, China would face a huge challenge.


    What was even worse was that as the human spaceships continued to fall, their speed continued to increase.


    This caused the firepower on both sides to constantly change theyout of the battlefield, gradually moving toward Eternal Sun.


    "No way! We''re currently in the middle of building Eternal Sun, so the aftermath of the battle won''t affect this ce, right?"


    Some people were stunned by the situation.


    "No, how is this possible!"


    The most excited reaction came from an expert beside Wu Mo.


    He had published many wonderful research and insights in the study of interster wars.


    At this moment, as the secondmander, his status in this battle could be seen.


    Undoubtedly, Wu Mo''smanding ability could be counted on one''s fingers in the entire country. Now that he could fight side by side with this person, it was enough to prove that the higher-ups attached great importance to him.


    Even so, all the experts still had serious expressions on their faces.


    Because the situation on the screen was frightening.


    The battlefield was rapidly moving toward Eternal Sun. It was so fast that it was difficult for the eyes to catch it. A gradually appeared in the gxy.


    "This is bad! What was going on? Eternal Sun was right in front of him!"


    Some of the member states of theary Alliance finally sensed the danger.


    They all spoke out in worry, worried that the battle would affect Eternal Sun.


    They were extremely worried. Eternal Sun had many bases that they had worked so hard to develop, and the investment they had put in was beyond trillions.


    Now, all of this could be destroyed at any time. The hearts of the leaders of the various countries were in their throats.


    At this moment, the battle was intense and cruel. It was gradually moving toward Eternal Sun.


    Wu Mo, on the other hand, was expressionless and calm.


    Everyone was puzzled as to why Wu Mo did not react in such an intense battle.


    How could they know Wu Mo''s true thoughts?


    On the surface, Wu Mo looked calm, but in reality, he was filled with worry.


    Most of the bases on the were protected by the dome.


    But how could they know that the enemy would notunch a surprise attack on an unprotected ce and quickly upy the entire?


    If that really happened, it meant that the dome device might not be able to provide effective defense.


    However, Wu Mo knew that there were still two key chips in the dome.


    Those two chips were known as automatic attack chips.


    Once it was integrated into the dome device, it could activate a hidden ability, which was the automatic attack mode.


    However, this domed device was mainly for defense.


    Wu Mo had no idea how powerful its automatic attack mode was.


    Ever since the dome device was developed, Wu Mo had never tried to activate this mode.


    "Mr. Wu, maybe, maybe we should take the initiative to attack."


    amander said nervously.


    His face was solemn, and his beard was even falling off due to nervousness. It was enough to show how heavy the pressure in his heart was.


    Everyone could feel the pressure.


    Many people on Eternal Sun had already noticed the strange ripples outside the gxy. The rumbles that sounded like thunder in the distance were gradually approaching!


    "Heavens! What exactly happened? My right eyelid is twitching non-stop¡­"


    A captain from China''s base sounded anxious.


    He raised his binocrs to scan the starry sky, only to discover that a group of steel monsters were rapidly approaching!


    "Oh no, what''s going on? Contact the base!"


    Just as they were about to contact the base, a piece of shocking news came from the base.


    "Chinese members of Eternal Sun, please take note. The alien spaceship is about to pass through this area."


    Everyone on Eternal Sun was scared out of their wits when they received this news.


    This was because other countries had also issued the same warning.


    The people from every country had left their bases.


    They gathered under the dome and looked up at the sky, their hearts trembling.


    "Oh my god, there really are alien spaceshipsing. Are they deliberately trying to destroy our work?"


    Everyone was thinking silently.


    At the same time, they thought of the reports from the past. Eternal Sun once had a high level of civilization, but it had been destroyed overnight.


    Everyone was guessing how that civilization was destroyed.


    The sudden disaster might allow people to guess the truth.


    That was, that civilization was likely to have been destroyed after the arrival of the alien civilization.


    "Everyone, please have full confidence in Chief Engineer Wu. He has already sent us a clear message. China has a powerful Mountain Sea Fleet, and ten battleships are currently engaged in battle with the alien invaders."


    A voice exploded in the air and calmed everyone''s hearts.


    This was a dream-like scene, and themander of China''s base had actually done it.


    He was a broadcaster before he became amander.


    His words had a special magic that made people involuntarily believe him.


    "Everyone, please be confident. Mr. Wu promises us that his Mountain Sea Fleet has the absolute power to defeat the alien spaceships. No enemy can match them!"


    Themander''s voice rang out again. As soon as he finished speaking, the battle outside had officially begun.


    "Ha! You actually dare to attack Eternal Sun, alien brat?"


    At this moment, a fully automated and unmanned spaceship was being controlled by everyone in the base.


    However, the main pilot was a hot-blooded young man.


    This young man had passed the ten tests set by Wu Mo.


    After passing the test, he was officially appointed as a member of the Mountain Sea Fleet.


    The entire fleet had fifty spaceships, with five pilots, each person could control ten ships at the same time.


    One should never think that one person could not deal with ten ships at the same time. This was a misunderstanding.


    With the current fully automated and intelligent mode, it was not a problem for a person to control more spaceships.


    In most cases, the spaceship could handle any unexpected situation on its own, and humans only needed to assist.

 Chapter 643 We Cant Let Them Bring The News Back

    "Beat him up! I don''t believe that we can''t defeat this guy today!"


    When Wu Mo saw this scene, his blood boiled.


    This was a war for China and a war for all of humanity.


    No one in theary Alliance would think that it just concerned China.


    If China failed, the entire human and Eternal Sun would be ves to Dark Star.


    At this moment, the screen showed that the 10 spaceships had repeatedly attacked the invaders ''spaceship, and they had finally sent out ck smoke.


    "Hahaha. We''ve won!"


    "Look, China''s interster battleships are invincible. How can those aliens be our match?"


    Someone was full of confidence and pride.


    "This is not good. It like this spaceship is going all out!"


    At this moment, everyone noticed a spaceship that was almost sunk.


    It seemed to have activated some kind of automatic explosion mode, and terrifying sparks erupted from its body.


    From all directions, powerful rays shot out from the spaceship like sharp swords.


    That terrifying destructive power caused the spaceship that had already been touched to instantly sway. It almost left the flight path.


    "Something''s not right. They''re doing something strange, but I''m not sure what it is¡­" A researcher smiled bitterly.


    They were once confident that their technology was advanced enough.


    However, when faced with this mysterious Dark Star spaceship, he discovered that his knowledge was stillcking.


    "Unbelievable. Theoretically, they shouldn''t have any means of resistance, but what''s going on?" An expert was puzzled.


    They were experts who specialized in the study of extraterrestrial behavior. One of the new disciplines they studied was extraterrestrial behavior.


    The founder of this discipline was naturally a big shot.


    The most outstanding people in this field were the few experts in front of him.


    Their past research and judgments had been proven many times.


    However, they could not decipher the alien''s actions now.


    This was because their movements were too mysterious and difficult to fathom.


    "Mr. Wu, what do you think of the Dark Star spaceship''s actions?"


    Someone couldn''t suppress their curiosity and asked Wu Mo.


    After all, Wu Mo was themander of the first rank. His words were the only stabilizing force.


    However, Wu Mo had remained silent until now, and it made everyone nervous.


    As long as Wu Mo could interpret this phenomenon, they would have the confidence to deal with it.


    However, if Wu Mo remained silent, they would lose their direction.


    Wu Mo''s eyes were fixed on the scene on the screen. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as if he had a premonition.


    His sharp voice echoed in the quiet control room.


    "Looks like these b*stards are nning to take a gamble. But while they''re retreating, they''ll definitely find an opportunity to escape."


    Wu Mo''s words were like a prophecy.


    Everyone was surprised to see the spaceship activate an automated mode.


    Then, the metal modules began to disintegrate like marbles released by the devil, and they shot mercilessly into the deep space.


    Boom!


    Boom!


    These deadly metal dust smashed into the spaceship.


    In an instant, two of the Mountain Sea Fleet''s spaceships were destroyed by the metal rain.


    The rest of the ships were also facing the danger of being torn in half at any time.


    "This is bad! Retreat quickly! The Dark Star battleship''s firepower is too intense!" someone shouted in horror and quickly retreated to the side.


    Under such circumstances, they could not fight against the other party. Retreating was their only choice.


    The technology in the hands of these Dark Starlings far surpassed that of humans.


    Even though the Mountain Sea Fleet had a strategy to attack and had already achieved some results.


    However, it had to be said that they were only facing a Dark Star spaceship.


    If Dark Star sent out a full fleet of ships, what would the oue be? Without a doubt, Dark Star would likely win.


    "Look! What are they doing?" Suddenly, someone screamed, and Wu Mo turned to look at the screen.


    They discovered that a small spaceship had rushed out from the inside of the Darkstar''s huge spaceship.


    It was extremely fast.


    There were five Dark Starlings on board. They worked together to pilot the spaceship and quickly flew into the distance.


    "I understand now. The Dark Star civilization must have sessfully conquered Fita. They must have stolen this technology from Fita!" an extraterrestrial behavior expert shouted.


    They had studied the hierarchy of civilizations in the universe and had their own unique insights.


    The civilization of Fita surpassed that of Dark Star in terms of technology.


    However, the technology that Dark Star had disyed today was somewhat puzzling.


    They could a small ship inside arge ship, gain power by disintegrating therge ship, and allow the small ship to escape quickly.


    This ingenious method undoubtedly came from Fita!


    Dark Star had already used this technique, which meant that they had sessfully conquered Fita.


    "The battle between Level 3 civilizations has already been settled. Dark Star has shown its talents and be the overlord of this area than light-years."


    When Wu Mo witnessed this scene, he felt extremely emotional.


    Dark Star had once attempted to join forces with the humans to fight against Fita. He did not expect Dark Star to aplish this goal alone in such a short period of time.


    " We can''t let it escape. Otherwise, once the news is leaked, the entire civilization of mankind will face a catastrophe!"


    Wu Mo made up his mind, immediately mobilizing the remaining few spaceships to surround them from another angle.


    Not long after, an earth-shaking explosion echoed in the deep space of the universe.


    The small spaceship waspletely destroyed in the intense explosion, and the Dark Star people on board were not even left with ashes.


    "We worked hard, but we finally won!"


    Wu Mo looked at the scene in front of him and smiled.


    However, at this moment, several spaceships suddenly appeared in front of them.


    These spaceships that suddenly appeared clearly did not belong to their side.


    Otherwise, Wu Mo would not have revealed such a shocked expression.


    These strange spaceships of all shapes and sizes emitted intense hostility.


    "Not good, which is this spaceship from? Quick, match verification!"


    One of the experts immediately ordered the use of the


    The research institute acted quickly. After a few minutes, the results were out.


    "What?! It was actually Dark Star''s spaceship?"


    After learning the results, everyone was stunned. This included Wu Mo and themanding team.


    Those spaceships were like steel beasts. Their presence was suffocating.


    It was unknown whether the Chinese civilization could withstand this pressure.


    "Tianci, how can our China fight against such a huge space fleet? Are we going to be defeated just like that?"


    One of the pessimists widened his eyes, his voice filled with panic.


    The people around him rolled their eyes at him.


    They thought to themselves, if they were as pessimistic as him, wouldn''t we just surrender and not fight?


    They re-examined the situation before them. There were only five spaceships, while their Mountain Sea Fleet still had forty-eight spaceships with fullbat power.


    It was forty-eight to five. Was there no chance of winning?


    Everyoneughed. Even if it was five spaceships, how could it make them despair?

 Chapter 644 The Dark Star Spaceships Counterattack

    Wu Mo immediately took over themand.


    "The second echelon will immediately follow up and surround him. The third echelon will push across the battlefield and kill him!"


    "Yes, Chief Engineer Wu!"


    After hearing Wu Mo''smand, the two teams attacked side by side.


    One was in charge of surrounding them, while the other was in charge of attacking them from the front.


    They only had one goal, and that was topletely destroy the five ships.


    If they couldn''t even do this, it would mean that Wu Mo''s Mountain Sea Fleet hadpletely failed.


    To let the whole world see the majesty of the human race, the battle was streamed. It showed the powerful strength of the human race to the people of the world.


    "What kind of live stream is this?"


    "Yes, I didn''t expect there to be such a live stream. A battle between spaceships sounds like a dream!"


    "Is this an actual live stream? Why do I feel like it''s fake?"


    People were in disbelief. They had found such a live stream on the Inte.


    It was like watching Star Wars in real life.


    It just seemed too advanced.


    Although people could already mine on Eternal Sun, that was only due to the advancement of aerospace technology.


    In space, fighting against alien civilizations was not as simple as aerospace technology.


    The current situation was already absurd to the point of inconceivable, enough to make people click their tongues in amazement.


    The conflicts in the past, regardless of their size, had never entered the field of view of the global live broadcast.


    Therefore, the world had yet to realize that China had the ability to cross the sea of stars andpete with alien creatures!


    Today, for the first time ever, China had disyed its strength to the audiences around the world. The Mountain Sea Fleet was powerful and mysterious.


    "Look! That space fleet belongs to us humans, and I heard that it was developed by China!" someone shouted excitedly.


    The audience was in an uproar, and their gazes were immediately attracted by the battle that erupted on the screen.


    Even though the scale of this battle was small, it could not be mentioned in the same breath whenpared to the spaceship from Dark Star.


    These five spaceships were like sharp swords. They pierced through the gxy and headed straight for China!


    Looking at their speed and momentum, it was obvious that they were not easy to deal with.


    "It''s over. China might not be able to stop them. Let''s see how powerful they are!"


    Some people widened their eyes in horror. They sensed the misfortune that China might face next.


    However, there were even more people who had faith in China.


    They believed that ever since they entered the dome, China''s technological power was already far beyond their reach.


    "Look! Our fleet has begun to counterattack!"


    Suddenly, someone shouted in surprise. On the screen, ten spaceships were charging straight at the opponent like a storm.


    Ten against five was an overwhelming advantage.


    Even though three of China''s spaceships had been destroyed during the first conflict.


    However, they had also instantly destroyed the two spaceships from Dark Star.


    "Three for two?! This isn''t the result we wanted!" In the cockpit of a Dark Star spaceship, a Dark Starling angrily smashed the control panel.


    They viewed themselves as advanced since they came from a Level 3 civilization. However, at this moment, it was difficult for them to fight against the Mountain Sea Fleet. This was an extremely humiliating matter.


    "Chief Wu, your n has seeded. They definitely can''t win against our numbers."


    The researcher''s voice was filled with admiration and joy.


    Wu Mo nodded slightly, and his deep eyes glinted with a cold light.


    This was his strategy. Such psychological pressure was equivalent to a huge crushing force.


    It caused the mental defenses of those in the Dark Star spaceships to copse. They sank into endless fear and despair.


    "Let''s see how you''re going to escape."


    The corners of Wu Mo''s mouth curled up into a cold arc, and his voice was filled with unquestionable confidence.


    He was determined to eliminate all these intruders in one go.


    This was to ensure that no one would dare to interfere with the development of Eternal Sun for a long period of time.


    Rumble¡­


    Rumble¡­


    In the dark starry sky of the universe, an explosion that sounded like a dazzling firework rain erupted.


    In a short period of time, only one spaceship from Dark Star was left.


    His swaying body elerated in Eternal Sun''s direction.


    "Oh, no! They''ve figured out our movements, and they''re going to destroy the results of Eternal Sun''s development!"


    The expression of the officer beside Wu Mo changed drastically as he sensed danger.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, what''s going on? If they attack Eternal Sun, we''re finished!" a trembling voice rang out beside Wu Mo.


    Wu Mo nced at him out of the corner of his eyes. He couldn''t help butugh in his heart. Wasn''t this guy panicking a little too easily?


    Even if Eternal Sun was about to be destroyed, what was the use of panicking?


    He might as well use this time to deal with the uing challenge!


    At this moment, Wu Mo''s gaze fell on the screen as he pondered in his heart.


    The others were also anxiously looking for a countermeasure, but seeing Wu Mo''s calmness, they didn''t know what to do.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, what''s your n?" another researcher asked.


    As themander-in-chief, Wu Mo had yet to express any opinions.


    Everyone could only wait anxiously on the spot, unable to make any further reactions.


    Wu Mo looked at the screen calmly and said, "Don''t worry. Just leave this matter to the dome on Eternal Sun. It will give us a satisfactory answer."


    "We''re relying on the dome again?" someone asked in surprise.


    Everyone was puzzled. Where did Wu Mo''s confidence in the domee from?


    The dome device had sessfully blocked several attacks from alien civilizations.


    However, those spaceships were on par with China''s base.


    Now, the one that came was an advanced spaceship from Dark Star. It was on a different level!


    In the battle earlier, China had paid the price of more than ten spaceships in order to destroy four of Dark Star''s spaceships.


    This ratio was simply uneptable to China.


    Even though they had used two echelons to surround him, they had paid a heavy price.


    This destructive power shocked everyone and also made everyone deeply experience the Dark Star spaceship''s power.


    However, at this moment, Wu Mo''s prediction came true.


    The Dark Star spaceshipnded on Eternal Sun and quickly activated its strongest firepower.


    The impact of those concentrated rays was extremely powerful, enough to shatter the strongest protective equipment in an instant.


    However, when these raysnded on the dome, they seemed to be blocked by a transparent film and were not damaged at all.


    "This... The dome can even block the attack of an advanced spaceship?"


    The performance of the dome device shocked everyone.


    No one expected the dome to be so powerful!


    "Heavens! The dome can not only block normal alien spaceships, but it can even block Dark Star''s spaceships!" a distinguished viewer eximed at the same time.


    At the same time, to show his support for China, he bought all the potions on the official website in one go.


    These potions were not cheap. He ended up paying more than five hundred billion.


    For a moment, others who wanted to buy potions eximed in surprise.

 Chapter 645 Deadly Trap

    "Are you all crazy? The potions¡­ The potions have been snatched away!" someone yelled.


    He did not realize that his anger was an insult to the rich man who loved China and supported it with practical actions.


    China was obviously unwilling to give up even though they faced such a fierce attack on the other side of the spaceship.


    In the cockpit, the faces of the Dark Starlings were distorted. They revealed a beastly ferocity in their despair.


    "A defensive method like that actually exists? Using energy for defense is primitive. Watch how we crush you!"


    It gritted its teeth, and its ruthless words were filled with madness.


    As its voice fell, a mass of terrifying ck energy emerged from the spaceship.


    Everyone''s heart started to palpitate in response.


    "Oh, no! Get out of the way!" someone immediately shouted.


    Meanwhile, others quickly moved to the side.


    The dome device gathered its defensive power and faced the ck ray directly.


    Even the people hiding in the device felt their hearts tremble.


    When the rays descended, it was as if the heavens and the earth were copsing.


    Anyone could feel how insignificant they were. This was the might of the heavens!


    Wu Mo held the two chips in his hands nervously. His heart was filled with anxiety.


    Even though the dome gave him confidence, everything was unknown before the ck ray.


    "Our defensive power has reached its limit. It''s like an overstretched spring that might break in the next moment."


    Wu Mo''s heart tightened as he quickly chose one of the chips.


    The A. I. chip shattered. The distant Eternal Sun seemed to sense this, and it activated the synchronization effect.


    The dome device promptly strengthened its defense and activated its automatic attack mode. Thus, it became indestructible.


    Rumble! Countless sensors unleashed rays that could destroy the world.


    These rays were as dense as infrared rays. They interweaved into arge and instantly enveloped the Dark Star spaceship.


    In the blink of an eye, those in the spaceship fell into absolute despair.


    They were trapped inside with nowhere to escape.


    The Dark Star spaceship that was surrounded by the infrared ray was helpless. Soon, it began to disintegrate.


    Every piece of metal debris fell on the dome device, and they were neatly sorted out on an assembly line.


    Finally, they were transported to an open space in the starry sky.


    At this moment, none of the Dark Star spaceships were spared. They werepletely destroyed by China.


    As for the other countries, they could only stand by and apud with enthusiasm as if they were watching a wonderful show.


    Just then, another spaceship carrying four astronauts gradually descended toward Eternal Sun in a strange trajectory.


    "Attention, China! Your spaceship is about to enter our base. Please advise us how to proceed immediately," astaff member on another country''s base nervously warned the Chinese side.


    After that, China''s base automatically expanded the domed area and sent a firm response.


    China''s spaceship had tond, and every territory had to be made avable for this purpose. Otherwise, all facilities would be destroyed, and they would have to bear the consequences.


    They were helpless against China''s decision. They could only cooperate with the request and give up arge area ofnd.


    They cleared out all the workers and waited for China''s spaceship to touch down.


    Finally, the shipnded safely on the. The hatch opened, and the four astronauts stepped out. Their faces were full of fatigue.


    They had been starving for the past two days due to theck of nutrient fluids. Hence, they had been hanging on to dear life.


    In addition, the vacuum environment in space made them even more hungry. The past two days had been extremely torturous.


    When they finally arrived at China''s base, the four astronauts were so tired that they fell to the ground and fainted almost instantly.


    "The four astronauts have fainted. Hurry up and inform Mr. Wu about it!"


    Someone from the base immediately took action. He quickly treated them while he prepared nutrient fluids, food, water, and other daily necessities.


    On the screen of themand center, Wu Mo watched the news of the four astronauts'' safe return. A faint smile appeared on his face.


    However, the following news made him frown. The four warriors who had once soared between the stars were now extremely weak because of malnutrition.


    Wu Mo made up his mind as a result. He would invent a special potion that could stave off hunger for a long time.


    This potion couldplement the super energy serum to eliminate fatigue and hunger.


    In human history, fatigue and hunger had undoubtedly been our two greatest natural enemies and challenges.


    Wu Mo looked at the huge number of points needed to invent this potion in the system''s store, and he smiled.


    Thanks to the sales of the five great potions, he could afford it. To him, the points were nothing.


    "I''ll release it!" There was determination in Wu Mo''s eyes.


    The potion prevented one from feeling hungry for a month.


    "Mr. Wu, this¡­ Is this really possible? Hunger is the human body''s response to energy needs. How can this potion rece food?" aresearcher asked in surprise.


    In his opinion, this seemed to vite the basic principles of biology.


    However, Wu Mo just shook his head slightly. He was implying that they did not understand the potion''s wonderful principle.


    This potion could change the ability of human cells to dpose energy. Therefore, it could squeeze out all the potential energy the human body had.


    A person could maintain his energy for half a day after a meal.


    However, taking this potion would allow his energy tost for a month.


    It would be like having a superpressed body with ny-nine percent energy! Once the potion was made, Wu Mo would immediately put it on China''s official website for sale without any testing.


    Firstly, the test was lengthy. A month of waiting was too long.


    Secondly, Wu Mo believed that this potion would not have any side effects.


    After all, its purpose was only to temporarily relieve one''s hunger.


    If it did not work, he would still feel hungry at worst. He would only need to eat a meal to solve the problem.


    There was no need for a long observation period.


    When the potion was released, the public was shocked.


    "Is there really such a potion?!" people eximed.


    They were surprised to find that this magical concoction was named the "Super Satiety Potion."


    Just by hearing the name, one could tell that it would eliminate one''s hunger after consumption.


    For a time, many of the top tycoons frantically bought the potion. They wanted to experience its magical effects as soon as possible.


    However, there was a limit to the purchase of this potion. Each person could only purchase a maximum of a hundred bottles per day.


    Therefore, most of the tycoons decisively bought a hundred bottles of Super Satiety Potion.


    Even though a bottle of the potion cost as much as one million,pared to a month''s food expenditure, the cost waspletely eptable.


    After all, this medicine was a high-tech product. It was full of technological content, and its valuey in this.


    Although many people wanted to try this magical potion, they were dissuaded by the high price.


    This was because ordinary people did not need to use the satiety potion.


    They enjoyed the basic happiness brought by tasting delicious food every day.

 Chapter 646 The Last Auction

    The satiety potion that Wu Mo developed was mainly prepared for people who worked in special jobs.


    Only special people would need such a potion.


    As for the top-grade potions, they could allow people to not need to eat or drink for a few months.


    Even the drugs that did not require inhaling nutrient fluids were all developed for astronauts.


    In the future of space exploration, people would face a long journey.


    It was impossible to prepare enough nutrient fluids at all times, so the importance of this potion was self-evident.


    "Mr. Wu, the astronauts have arrived!"


    At this time, the four of them had sessfully returned to the Institute of Special Biology after a round of treatment.


    Wu Mo''s gaze fell on the four brave astronauts.


    Their bravery and determination shook his heart.


    Wu Mo held their hands one by one and saluted them gratefully.


    "Your hard work and selfless dedication have brought China''s aerospace industry to new heights. On the Institute of Special Biology''s behalf, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to you."


    Wu Mo''s tone was firm, and his eyes burned with fire as he spoke to the four astronauts sincerely.


    The four astronauts were extremely touched.


    All the hardships they had experienced had now turned into endless sweetness.


    They knew that their hard work and efforts were worth it.


    Next, they would be the newest test subjects for the Super Satiety Potion.


    They would be under observation for a month in the Institute of Special Biology under the potion''s effect.


    They might have been affected by some unknown radiation in the vacuum of space.


    Their bodies might be undergoing some subtle changes.


    Then, would they have the same effect after taking this medicine?


    This was an unknown, and this unknown could only be determined after practical testing.


    At the same time, Wu Mo was also developing a more efficient Super Satiety Potion.


    Only when a more efficient potion was released could it truly be announced as a universal drug.


    Under China''s leadership, Eternal Sun''s progress was remarkable.


    China''s base had be a huge city.


    The surrounding urban nning was also gradually perfected. A huge urban cluster took form.


    This development made the other countries envious.


    "Hurry up and start the third auction! We can''t wait!"


    "We have mobilized the entire country and raised hundreds of billions of dors. We have decided to secure a ce in the world!"


    "Hey, do you think you can get a seat with a few hundred billion? Do you know the power of the dome?"


    Even though the third auction had yet to arrive.


    But countries were already scrambling to show their determination and strength.


    The people had already experienced the baptism of several battles and deeply understood the toughness and sturdiness of China''s dome.


    No extraterrestrial civilization could pose a substantial threat to them.


    Under the dome''s protection, Eternal Sun were like fish in water. They developed the to their heart''s content. There was no need to worry about any unknown risks.


    Eternal Sun was a fertilend of rare ores that had been excavated by human warriors.


    These ores were sent to the human, and they brought huge profits.


    The development of Eternal Sun was not just about opening up new territories for humans.


    More importantly, this was a piece ofnd that had yet to be reimed. On thisnd, it was possible to breed unknown miracles.


    Every country could stand on the same starting line again. This was undoubtedly the greatest blessing for them.


    "Mr. Wu, the pressure is really great now. The discussions within theary Alliance were unstoppable. They were all looking forward to the third auction as soon as possible."


    An officer walked in, and his tone was full of worry.


    Wu Mo was currently focused on developing a more efficient Super Satiety Potion.


    Hearing this news, he smiled and nodded.


    "Then let''s do as they wish. In a few days, I will be holding the third auction, but this time, I have decided to reduce the quota to five."


    "Five spots?"


    The officer looked at Wu Mo in confusion and worry. The pressure in his heart was like a thousand pounds of weight.


    In the past bidding, ten spots had already made the various countries cut their throats like blood, and they had paid a huge price for it.


    However, the quota had now been reduced to five. How would the various countriespete for it?


    The officer thought to himself, ''Looks like this election won''t be so simple.''


    He was a little confused by Wu Mo''s decision. Why didn''t he expand the quota but instead reduced it?


    Didn''t more slots mean more benefits?


    But Wu Mo had his own ns.


    The dome device only needed to fuse with the fifth chip to activate the automatic attack system.


    By that time, the coverage of the dome would be even wider.


    Therefore, Wu Mo decisively chose to control the range of the dome device precisely within a perfect boundary.


    Only within such a range could the dome''s active attack system unleash its greatest power.


    Otherwise all discussion and effort will turn into nothingness.


    When the time was right, the third auction would start as scheduled.


    Unlike usual, no one was absent this time.


    Whether it was the people who failed to attend thest meeting or the winners of the first auction that was about to expire, they were all filled with anticipation and nervousness as they rushed over.


    A lively and tense atmosphere filled the meeting hall.


    Everyone''s eyes were focused on the front. They were waiting for the uing bidding war.


    At this moment, the door slowly opened, and Wu Mo, as well as several officers, stepped into the council hall.


    His appearance immediately attracted the attention of everyone present. Every single one of their eyes was filled with anticipation and hope for the unknown.


    Once Wu Mo gave the order, they would unhesitatingly ce their highest bid.


    Wu Mo cleared his throat and announced loudly, "Today is ourst auction. This time, we will provide five spots."


    "Five?"


    The crowd was immediately filled with shocked voices.


    The representatives of the various countries were stunned, followed by dissatisfaction.


    To them, five spots was undoubtedly a piece of news that was hard to ept.


    This was especially true for the weaker countries.


    They had long umted their powerful strength and were prepared tounch a sneak attack at thest moment to squeeze into the top ten.


    They had already carefully calcted their opponents. The eighth or ninth position should have been a sure win for them.


    However, the reduction of the quota made them lose all hope.


    Wu Mo looked at the gloomy atmosphere in the council hall.


    "The auction will officially begin now. Everyone, you can start bidding!"


    For a moment, the atmosphere in the council hall became even more depressing.


    Everyone knew that there were only five spots this time.


    Then, in order to fight for these five spots, they had to use all their skills.

 Chapter 647 Frantic Bidding

    After thinking for a moment, the leader of a country slowly stood up and solemnly said, "We offer six hundred billion!"


    Huh? Six hundred billion?


    At this moment, everyone present was shocked.


    Wu Mo also sized him up with a strange look.


    Six hundred billion would indeed give them the initiative to win.


    After all, in thestpetition, three hundred billion was enough to win a seat.


    However, the situation this time waspletely different. There were only five seats this time, which meant that the intensity of thepetition would be doubled!


    However, the development of the matter exceeded expectations. When this person confidently reported six hundred billion, he thought that he could enjoy the fruits of others''bor.


    As soon as he sat down, another person shouted, "I bid eight hundred billion!"


    What the hell?!


    Eight hundred billion? Wasn''t that crazy?


    The people present were instantly speechless.


    They all knew that in the second auction, only the bald man''s bid reached eight hundred billion. Moreover, he was superior to the others since he was leading by more than two hundred billion.


    But this time, the third auction had just begun.


    In less than two minutes, a bid of eight hundred billion had appeared. How could the others have a fighting chance?


    Immediately, this price made the leaders of many countries give up the idea ofpeting.


    They had originally nned to shout, but after they heard the price¡­ they could not help but smile bitterly. They realized that it not be destined for them.


    "Oh, my God. It''s over. It''spletely over. How can wepete with such a high price?"


    Everyone had a mncholic expression on their faces.


    They felt that China''s bidding this time was really too much.


    With only five seats, how could the other countriespete?


    Moreover, why couldn''t China expand this dome to a further ce?


    What if most of the countries were protected and then charged a certain fee?


    Every country had this thought in their minds, that the weak were in the right.


    They felt that since their country was weak, China had the obligation and responsibility to protect them.


    However, they neglected the research and development of this dome device, which consumed a lot of Wu Mo''s time and energy.


    Now that the bid of eight hundred billion was out, it immediately raised the price to a whole new level.


    Everyone was silent. They carefully observed the reactions of others.


    At this moment, another person stood up and shouted,"I bid 850 billion!"


    The price had suddenly risen by fifty billion.


    The atmosphere on the field suddenly became heated.


    Everyone understood that this bidding was like apetition between experts.


    This meant that those countries with slightly weaker strength had no chance ofpeting at all.


    They could only act as spectators.


    Wu Mo sat on a high spot, his face expressionless, but his eyes revealed a high interest in this matter.


    He originally thought that the total profit of five seats would be lower than ten seats.


    This meant that it would be very difficult to break the record of trillions this time.


    However, he did not expect that there would be a bid of eight hundred billion at the beginning of the auction.


    It seemed that the total price of the five seats this time would set a new record.


    "Mr. Wu, it looks like your prediction was quite urate. The five seats have made all the countries go crazy."


    At this moment, an officer beside Wu Mo whispered.


    Wu Mo nodded and said, "That''s normal. I told them that this would be thest auction, so of course they would go all out."


    At this moment, another country made a terrifying bid.


    "I bid one trillion!"


    The price jumped up again and hit the one trillion mark. The other countries were all dumbfounded.


    Heavens!


    One trillion?


    What was going on?


    Everyone smiled bitterly and chose to give uppletely.


    Moreover, not manypetitors could ept this one trillion bid.


    The remaining people looked at each other and chose to bid the moderate price of nine hundred billion.


    After all, although this one trillion was high and mighty, it was still a small amount.


    However, he could only get one seat at most. There were still four seats left.


    We won''t fight with you. Let''s fight for thest four, okay?


    Seeing this, Wu Mo started to yawn.


    Because these people were bidding against each other, the price was hovering around nine hundred billion.


    Finally, Wu Mo reminded everyone, "There are only a few moments left before the auction ends. Make a decision as soon as possible!"


    The moment Wu Mo said this, the tense atmosphere in the hall was cut out.


    Everyone was on guard against the hidden contenders, in case they suddenly advanced at thest moment and swept away their victory.


    In order to stop this conspiracy, everyone had to increase their original bid by hundreds of millions.


    This was the only way to calm them down.


    Finally, the bell rang.


    Wu Mo announced the official end of the auction and began to calcte the bids from various countries.


    The list of the top five was gradually released. Without a doubt, the first ce was the country that had bid one trillion!


    They actually paid such a huge price for half a year of dome protection. What a terrible deal!


    The national leadersughed internally and looked down on the foolish guy.


    They felt that a price of 1 trillion to buy such rights was simply too expensive.


    However, everyone had their own ideals. How could they understand the decision of that country?


    Wu Mo announced the top five names, and the leaders of the five countries were ecstatic.


    It was as if they had caught thest bus.


    This feeling was even more satisfying than the previous two election victories. It felt like an endless sense of aplishment pervaded his heart.


    "Haha. That''s great! Finally, our country is protected by the dome. We don''t have to worry about the invasion of alien civilizations anymore!"


    These leaders clenched their fists, and they were filled with joy.


    This was thest transformation of the dome.


    Therefore, it attracted countless viewers to watch the live broadcast.


    "Look over there! The dome is starting to change shape again. This will probably be thest time!"


    "Ah! It won''t change shape anymore. I have to see how it does it!"


    "Sigh. What a pity! I heard that our country lost. I''m afraid we''ll have to be careful with our mining ns on Eternal Sun."


    Some countries were happy, while others were sad.


    The people of the countries that won the election were naturally very happy.


    They felt that their country could mine as they pleased on Eternal Sun.


    Next, he would definitely receive the blessing of great luck.


    The people of the countries that lost the election were worried. They were anxious about the future of their countries...


    "Look! The dome is changing shape!"


    At this moment, the huge dome device slowly transformed, and its high joints spread out one by one in all directions. They were as sharp as des.


    Then, the dome device gradually expanded and enveloped the five countries in the distance at the same time!


    Then, it slowly descended and formed aplete internal structure.


    At this moment, the dome devicepleted its initial transformation.


    However, the news from Eternal Sun''s base was shocking.

 Chapter 648 Theyre Behaving Strangely

    "Mr. Wu, we found a tape in the ruins of that civilization. It looks like we can restore the sound."


    Wu Mo listened to the researcher''s report as they walked across the research center''s corridor. He was delighted.


    "If we manage to restore the tape, we''ll be able to listen to many stories from Eternal Sun''s past."


    His heart was filled with anticipation.


    After all, this civilization had disappeared for nearly a thousand years!


    They reached the current level of human technology a thousand years ago.


    They were even more advanced than humans. What did they go through back then?


    Why did they leave this tape behind? What kind of secret did they want to convey to future generations?


    In the end, the tape was finally restored thanks to the researchers who worked tirelessly. They sessfully presented it to everyone.


    Wu Mo had asked the researchers to use a very old machine to perfectly restore the sound from the tape.


    Although the sound was still not perfect, the fact that they could recover it to this extent was impressive enough.


    A deep voice slowly rang out.


    "Greetings, beings from the distant future. We are creatures of Eternal Sun, but by the time you hear this voice, we might no longer exist."


    Those who heard the message were somehow affected by the sadness in the creature''s voice.


    Everyone in the research institute fell silent.


    "Who tranted thenguage?" Wu Mo blurted out.


    His focus was different from that of the others. How did they urately trante this ancientnguage?


    A researcher beside him quickly replied, "Mr. Wu, it''s like this. We deciphered theirnguage through therge number of items we collected from Eternal Sun. Now, we canpletely understand theirnguage."


    "I see. Alright. Resume the tape."


    Wu Mo nodded in satisfaction.


    "I''m going to record some secrets on this tape and tell you what we''ve encountered. At the same time, I''ll guide you to the true blessednd on Eternal Sun."


    As soon as the voice said that, everyone on the base was excited and delighted.


    "Hahaha, I''m going to be rich. I''m going to be absolutely rich this time!"


    The voice suddenly became low.


    "You can''t imagine how much we''ve suffered. Just as our civilization was about to rise, we received a fatal blow from a called Dark Star! It''s light-years away¡­"


    "What?! It really was Dark Star that had destroyed Eternal Sun''s civilization. So that''s what happened!"


    Some of the researchers were extremely excited.


    "Dark Star" was the name Wu Mo had given to that, so it was not its original name.


    However, the researchers had already deciphered theirnguage.


    Therefore, the system automatically tranted the''s name into the name that humans identified with.


    "No wonder they were able to track down Eternal Sun and attack our base. They''ve done this before!"


    Wu Mo immediately saw the whole picture. He understood that the Dark Starlings were skilled in all kinds of schemes.


    They had already destroyed an entire civilization on Eternal Sun.


    After that, they came into contact with humans. They probably wanted to see if humans could develop to Eternal Sun''s level.


    If humans showed a simr development trend, the Dark Starlings would immediately deploy their terrifying spaceship.


    They would destroy the entire humanmunity in the same way they destroyed Eternal Sun.


    However, they probably thought that humans had yet to develop to that extent.


    Therefore, they temporarily let the humans go and took things one step at a time.


    The words spoken by the ancient voice made everyone tremble.


    It was like a bloody painting. It told the tragedy of a civilization''s destruction.


    After that, the voice sounded calmer.


    "Now, I''ll tell you about some extremely important locations on Eternal Sun¡­"


    There was a rare ore mine about 8,915 kilometers southeast of the active volcano.


    Meanwhile, there was a huge oil field about 482 kilometers west of the base.


    The voice provided a lot of valuable information, and the researchers immediately recorded everything.


    Wu Mo opened the interster map and checked it carefully. He found that it was all true!


    This person was not spouting nonsense. The locations of the treasurednds had not changed even after many years of evolution.


    The active volcano was thergest of its kind on the.


    It was located at the''s base point. If they moved around with the volcano as the center, they would be able to find the hiding ces of priceless treasures!


    "Take a look! Director Wu didn''t lie to us. Unfortunately, this oil field has already been upied."


    One of the researchers shook his head with regret.


    However, it did not matter. Apart from the oil fields, there were still many treasures waiting to be discovered on Eternal Sun.


    Everyone identified the ces while they recorded the information.


    "Quick! Send people from the base to upythese ces!" the researcher immediately ordered.


    Then, someone contacted China''s base on Eternal Sun.


    When those on Eternal Sun received the news, the management immediately called for a small emergency meeting!


    Then, countless people rushed out of the base and headed to the unimednd.


    "This isn''t right. China''s actions are so strange."


    "Yes, the Chinese never leave their base so easily. There''s a core protection circle inside. But now, they''re advancing together!"


    "Look! They''re rushing to those uninhabited ces. Aren''t they afraid of danger?"


    At this moment, China sent out arge number of people. Hundreds of people surged forward from all directions to achieve the same goal.


    For a moment, all the bases around the world were paying close attention. They wanted to know what China''s base was nning.


    Even though China''s base had made a big move, they had not left the range of the protective shield and acted rashly.


    No one could be sure if there was an unknown threat hidden in the dark.


    Right then, the researchers on China''s base were excited.


    Wu Mo was no exception. He was filled with anticipation.


    After all, thend of treasures was right before them.


    As long as China made a move, everything would be within their reach. How could they not be excited?


    However, they still had to verify the information first.


    They could notpletely trust that the words in the tape were irrefutable evidence.


    Finally, news came from Eternal Sun.


    After some Chinese workers walked some distance east from the base of the volcano, they found a rare ore!


    "Heavens, what is this? It''s all gold and natural diamonds! We''re going to be rich! We''re really going to be rich!"


    All the workers were extremely excited. These were extremely precious metals in the human world!


    The value of gold never depreciated. In fact, it had been increasing steadily. Gold was the best investment for wealth.


    The amount of gold was enough for China to dominate the gold trading market on a global scale!


    Then, another group of staff members reported a major discovery.


    They had been heading north until they found a huge oil field in a distant ce.


    After a preliminary examination, they came to a shocking conclusion: This oil field was even bigger than the one discovered earlier!

 Chapter 649 Wu Mos Intuition

    "What?! It''s bigger than our oil field?"


    The moment the news spread, the country that owned the oil field was dumbfounded.


    No one expected China to mine another oil field.


    Before they could make enough money, China had already developed a new oil field.


    How did the Chinese discover it?


    Did they have advanced equipment that could scan the entire?


    It would be too powerful!


    Before long, theary Alliance also learned of this situation.


    They knew that China had continuously been sending people out. Every time, these people would make a big discovery without fail.


    They immediately smelled something off.


    China had to have a new invention.


    This invention''s range covered the entire, so it was extremely urate.


    Aside from that, what else would exin China''s abnormal actions?


    There had been a long period of peace during construction of the bases. However, China had suddenly sent people to search every corner of the.


    They gained a rich harvest every single time, so the suspicion of others was definitely not groundless.


    "What kind of advanced equipment do you have? Can you share it with us? We''re willing to pay the rent. How about that?"


    Several strong countries made the aforementioned suggestion.


    They felt that if they could pay China a lot of money and rent its equipment for exploration, they might be able to find simr treasure troves!


    If they could find a location and develop it, the profits would far exceed the rent!


    However, they were not the only ones who knew how to make such deals.


    China was not foolish. How could it share such information so easily?


    "I''m sorry! The kind of equipment you''re thinking of doesn''t exist. We''re just sensitive to the fact that there are too many treasures on this. Hence, we took the initiative to look for them!"


    At this time, a spokesperson representing China sent a message to theary Alliance.


    For a moment, many people expressed their doubts and refused to believe him!


    "Haha, if Mr. Wu doesn''t personally confirm that he didn''t invent such technology, we won''t take your word for it."


    "Huh? Are you guys sure about this? Alright. I''ll inform Mr. Wu to meet you in person."


    After the representative heard their response, he sneered internally and conveyed their request to Wu Mo.


    Wu Mo did not expect to personally handle such matters.


    Therefore, he posted an announcement on theary Alliance''s official website through his social ount.


    "China does not have any detection technology that is able to scan the entire of Eternal Sun!"


    It was a in statement, but it represented Wu Mo''s firm stance.


    Since he had published a statement, the other countries had no choice but to trust him whether they wanted to or not.


    Unfortunately, the doubts in their hearts were not resolved¡­


    If China did not possess such technology, how did it find so many treasures on Eternal Sun?


    The entire world was filled with jealousy. Many countries in theary Alliance also ordered their bases on Eternal Sun to send people to search for ces of wealth.


    They knew that if they did not act quickly, it would be toote in the future.


    Many country representatives left their bases and began searching everywhere.


    However, they were not bold enough to leave the Zenith Shield''s protective zone. They only searched around the shield.


    Sadly, they were not very efficient. Despite searching for several days, they failed to find any ce worth mining.


    In contrast, good news kepting from China. It made them envious.


    "This is too strange. We find nothing even after such a thorough search, but they keep finding things after a short search. This is ridiculous!"


    The staff from many countries were puzzled as they faced Eternal Sun''s vastnd and barren environment.


    They saw China gain something every time, while they followed closely behind like fools. It did not sit well with them.


    At this moment, the leaders of the various countries around the world were extremely perturbed.


    "China, did you obtain some key information? Otherwise, how would you know the exact location of those ces?" one of the leaders asked.


    Most people had the exact same thought.


    However, that recording was confidential, so China could not make it public.


    In the end, China had no choice but to ask Wu Mo to provide a unified answer.


    Wu Mo contemted for a moment and confidently replied, "If I told you that all of this was based on my intuition, I wonder if you would believe me?"


    What the hell?!


    Intuition?


    Chief Engineer Wu''s intuition?


    Everyone was stunned.


    If anyone else had said it, they would have argued back.


    However, it wasing from Wu Mo. They could not distrust him.


    Therefore, they could only ept the seemingly absurd reason!


    When word of this traveled back, many were shocked.


    They felt like they had been deceived. Wu Mo was definitely lying.


    "What intuition? Nonsense. How can someone rely on intuition to find so many treasure troves on Eternal Sun? Have you all been kicked in the head by a donkey?" A national leaderinstantly flew into a rage.


    How could he not be angry when his representatives returned with such news? Butwhat else could he do aside from being furious at this moment?


    China''s base obviously did not want to share with anyone. What can he do?


    From the looks of it, every time the Chinese went on a search, they would obtain key information.


    They knew which ces in this blessednd had secrets.


    How did they know? That was the most important question.


    Everyone knew that Eternal Sun was an unexplored.


    Its civilization had been wiped out many years ago.


    Under such circumstances, who else could be so familiar with the?


    Before long, China''s performance further confirmed their spection.


    "Chief Wu, we have made a major discovery. We dug about two hundred meters deep at the foot of a volcano and found a broken spaceship!" someone reported.


    "A spaceship? If this is true, it would be a wonderful discovery!"


    After Wu Mo listened to his research team''s report, he was instantly filled with joy. He immediately turned on the big screen.


    The whole spaceship appeared on the screen.


    Compared to their current spaceship, this ship did not look too different. It only seemed slightly smaller.


    However, its small appearance indicated that its internal structure was more concise.


    Its attack system might not be as intensive as the one on human spaceships. But this did not mean that its creator''s civilization was behind mankind''s. In fact, it was the opposite.


    Its people achieved the same effect with higher efficiency and less space.


    This was enough to prove that their civilization was far superior!


    "Mr. Wu, should we retrieve the wreckage and conduct detailed research?" an assistant beside him asked. He could no longer control his curiosity.


    Wu Mo shook his head. To him, there was no need to retrieve the wreckage because they were currently not focused on that development path.


    Immediately after, Wu Mo noticed that the research team was in closemunication with the base.


    The base sent back some substantial information as well.

 Chapter 650 Paying The Penalty

    At present, they had already detected three oil fields and rare mineral veins, as well as three different types of ores that were worth excavating.


    These resources were extremely important to China. This was and of rich treasures.


    With this as a foundation, he could open up bases one after another.


    Cities could be ced around these bases.


    At that moment, a tricky problem appeared. China''s base would develop their cities with those bases as the core.


    They would surround the other countries.


    These countries would definitely protest. Who would want to be surrounded by China''s urban agglomerations?


    Therefore, gellryyase could only issue a warning to these cities.


    They were asked to relocate the base or hand over the authority of the base.


    Otherwise, if they were surrounded by China and developed in the future, there would be a tense situation.


    At that time, don''t me us for being impolite.


    When these small countries received the news, they were immediately furious.


    Directly lodge aint to theary Alliance!


    "China, you guys are going too far. Although you''re strong, you can''t bully us like this!"


    "That''s right. Our base was established the earliest. You want to build a new base now, but you want us to move."


    "China, you''re too arrogant. Eternal Sun doesn''t belong to you. It belongs to all of humanity!"


    Faced with theseints, the Chinese representative was speechless.


    After a while, he heard Wu Mo''s voice.


    Instantly, he was at a loss and his expression changed.


    Then, he responded ording to Wu Mo''s words.


    "If anyone disagrees with this, you can withdraw from our protective device. From now on, China will not provide you with any extended services."


    This sentence immediately caused the people who were originallyining to stop.


    Right now, alien civilizations were appearing frequently. For example, Dark Star might send spaceships to harass them.


    Under such circumstances, no matter how developed a country was, it could be turned into ruins in an instant!


    Therefore, no country dared to leave China''s protection.


    Chiled bad 2oase was using this thing to put pressure on them, and they had no way of resisting.


    "Wait, we''ve already paid China. How dare they treat us like this?"


    A representative of a country suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter.


    They had paid a huge sum of money for the protection service for half a year, at least 300 billion yuan.


    This money couldn''t be given for free!


    Now, China''s base was actually using this thing to threaten them. How could this be?


    However, Wu Mo''s method was even more decisive. He directly transferred three hundred billion to them and gave them another ten billion.


    "This ten billion is the penalty for breaching the contract. The remaining thare''s a sall billion will be returned to you."


    Wu Mo''s words stunned everyone.


    Those who had been arrogant and arrogant before all fell silent, unable to say a word.


    At this moment, the first person who shouted to kill was defeated by Wu Mo''s words!


    Wu Mo had handed over 310 billion to them. The extra 10 billion was to make up for their losses.


    They silently took the money.


    From then on, China''s sky protection shield no longer blocked them.


    The time in the past was like a free gift to them.


    No one could find fault with Wu Mo''s actions. Who asked this country to be so powerful?


    The reason why they chose to file awsuit against China''s base was because they had already lost their rights.


    It was because on Eternal sun, the development of many bases was as slow as a snail.


    They had also considered moving the base and redeveloping it, but it would not take long.


    But for China, this was a strategic move.


    China''s domineering actions were because they had enough strength to support it.


    When Wu Mo''s stance was clear, the leader of that country was stunned.


    He immediately regretted it and begged Huaxia Base to give them another chance.


    They knew that as long as they gave up the base, there might be a chance of survival.


    As long as they were still within the protection of the dome, they could find a new ce and start anew.


    After all, just as Wu Mo had predicted, the development of the base was not going well.


    Therefore, even if they found a new ce to start from scratch, could quickly recover to their current level.


    However, if they left the protection of the dome, they would have nowhere to go.


    It could be said thatwould no longer have their territory.


    No matter how developed they were, they could be easily destroyed by alien civilizations.


    Therefore, under such circumstances, the leader of this country naturally did not dare to confront Wu Mo head-on.


    "Mr. Wu, I said something wrong just now. Please give us another chance. We will give up our base and cooperate wiorpitsyyrth C Base."


    The sudden change in the attitude of the country''s leader shocked everyone.


    "He''s too arrogant. He was just provoking China a moment ago, and now he''s changing so quickly?"


    Therefore, this country was the pioneer.


    The other countries did not dare to make an enemy out of China, so they all gave their bases on Changyang to China.


    Just like that, China obtained a new territory.


    Their bases were closely connected, forming cities.


    These cities would be the foundation of China''s future development.


    At this moment, Wu Mo had already begun to apply she super gnergy serum to the aerospace field.


    First, he wanted to develop a spaceship that could travel long distances.


    Astronauts on the spacecraft needed to take super nerergy erums to travel in space for half a year.


    His target was the distant Alter Neb, or even the gxy two light years away.


    This gxy cluster was located thousands of light-years away. It was simply a fantasy to take arge spaceship there!


    However, Wu Mo had upgraded the antimatter synthesis device to the first level.


    With the support of arge amount of antimatter, the spaceship could exceed five times the speed of light.


    Even so, it would still take humans hundreds of years to reach the second light-year gxy.


    But this time, Wu Mo''s goal was clear.


    They only needed to take some simple photos and did not need to enter the gxy.


    Moreover, there might be alien civilizations in the second light year gxy, so Wu Mo did not n to risk the spaceship.


    At this time, several astronauts had already been selected.


    Theyy down in the Biology Research Institute and started taking Super Energy Serums.


    The effect of this potion was several times stronger than ordinary Energy Serums.


    After consuming it, they would not feel hungry for half a year.


    It was worth mentioning that even if half a year had passed and the effects of the potion had worn off, they could still persist for a month or two.


    With this potion, they were full of confidence in their long-distance voyage.


    This time, China chose to broadcast theunch of the spaceship to the entire world so that everyone in the world could witness it.


    The operation this time was bigger than any before.


    His goal was even more magnificent. It was actually the distant gxy of the second light year!


    "The second light-year gxy? Are you kidding me?!"


    When China''s voice spread across the world, everyone was stunned.

 Chapter 651 Redesigning The Bases Layout

    The Second Light-year Gxy was thousands of light years away from us!


    It was called the Second Light-year Gxy because this was the second time that humans had discovered a cluster ofs extremely far away.


    It was like a river filled with stars, and it contained hundreds of thousands ofs.


    Did China really have the courage to explore that faraway ce?


    At this moment, all the astronomy enthusiasts and the general public were paying close attention.


    On the screen, China was preparing tounch a long-range spaceship.


    "You''re all fearless warriors. Our goal is the Second Light-year Gxy. I hope you can achieve our goal and return with glory!"


    Wu Mo, the mission''s architect, awarded medals to the astronauts.


    These medals were his way of encouragement. They had already been awarded medals before they even started the mission.


    This was to prepare for their safety in the starry sky.


    These medals carried eternal glory.


    No matter what the oue was, these medals belonged to them. They shone with the most dazzling brilliance.


    There were three astronauts on this mission.


    They had to go through many years of training on the base to meet the mission requirements.


    Their physical and mental strengths, as well as professional knowledge, were at the top level!


    However, when they saw the atmosphere, they were deeply moved.


    One of them could not help but say," Chief Engineer Wu, don''t worry. We''ll definitelyplete the mission. We''ll reach the Second Light-year Gxy and return sessfully!"


    The three of them bowed before everyone. Then, they turned around and prepared to enter the cockpit.


    At this moment, the atmosphere at the scene was exciting, and everyone began to apud.


    Their apuse grew more and more enthusiastic. It formed a majestic sound wave that was like rolling thunder!


    Wu Mo gave the order to fire.


    The countdown to theunch of the rocket began, and the spacecraft instantly shot into the sky.


    Soon, it turned into a small dot and disappeared from sight.


    The big screen was still connected to the spaceship.


    They had already nned a route for the spaceship to avoid Dark Star and pass through the Taal Neb.


    "Chief Wu, the matter of the base has been settled. Take a look at thisyout map. Are you satisfied?"


    Suddenly, an engineer engineer walked into Wu Mo''s office.


    Wu Mo nced at theyout of his base and frowned.


    The structure on the map was messy, which made Wu Mo unhappy.


    "What happened?" he asked. Didn''t we already ask those countries to vacate their bases? How did it turn out like this?"


    Wu Mo couldn''t help but feel a little angry. After all, he was the chief engineer of this project.


    He had spent a lot of time and effort to build China''s base and the cities in the future.


    If things went wrong, he might be punished.


    "Mr. Wu," the engineer exined with a bitter smile," you don''t know this. When we were perfecting the structure of the base, the dome device couldn''t fit perfectly. We had no choice but to design the base like this."


    Wu Mo looked at the dome''s protective effect.


    He found that the dome''s sticity had indeed decreased a lot.


    Therefore, during the construction of the base, the dome could not be adjusted as the base expanded.


    They could only change theyout of the base. As a result, the base looked chaotic.


    "Well, in that case, let''s add some new functions to this giant dome. Then, you can rearrange the base," Wu Mo suggested with a smile.


    "Alright, Mr. Wu!"


    The engineer was shocked.


    He found it hard to believe that there was still a possibility of upgrading this overly modified dome.


    This was really amazing!


    Wu Mo pondered for a moment before he took out the fifth chip and steadily inserted it into the dome.


    At this moment, the dome device seemed to sensed this movement.


    Its automatic attack mode was fully activated, and a shocking change urred!


    Perhaps many people on the entire had sensed this change.


    However, the people on Eternal Sun could feel it all clearly.


    "Look over there! What happened to the dome? Some indescribable changes have appeared."


    "Yes, I noticed it too. The dome device has be so incredible. Let''s see what''s going on!"


    At this moment, everyone raised their heads.


    They focused their gazes on the device in the sky.


    They noticed that the dome had seemingly changed again.


    Even though this was only a guess, with careful observation, they found that there was a green halo around the dome.


    However, they did not know what this halo represented.


    The engineers on China''s base were very excited.


    They knew that the dome was expanding the range of their base.


    This meant that they had more room to maneuver.


    "Hurry up and rebuild our base. Director Wu has high expectations. We can''t mess up!" an engineer immediately shouted.


    The others immediately took action and redesigned the base''syout.


    Not long after, the newyout waspleted.


    Then, it was sent to Wu Mo''s office.


    Wu Mo looked at the new blueprint and nodded in satisfaction.


    "Hmm, that''s more like it. What was with the previous one?"


    At this moment, they were getting more and more rewards from the treasure hunting ground.


    Thirty valuable hunting grounds had appeared one after another.


    This included oil fields, rare ores, and various other precious resources.


    Other countries were envious.


    They hoped to share information with China and gain some benefits from this.


    However, they also understood that China would never share something so huge.


    If they said too much, the dome would say goodbye to them!


    Now, Wu Mo controlled the fate of these countries.


    To them, the dome was a switch that determined everything.


    As long as Wu Mo turned off this switch, the entire world would fall into darkness.


    "These guys are too arrogant. They actually set up a blockade. They dare attack China?"


    At this moment, the staff in charge of finding treasure spots discovered that a base in front of them had set up a blockade.


    They were very dissatisfied.


    He immediately shouted into the loudspeaker in his hand.


    "We''re a treasure hunting team from China. I hope that you''ll be able to make way for us!"


    Every country''s base was located in a secret ce and they were not open to the public.


    However, it was impossible for them to directly set up a blockade to iste themselves from the outside world.


    This base was not a secret prison but an office!


    However, the country''s spokesperson replied, "I''m sorry. Our base will bepletely closed off for now. The road isn''t passable, so please take a detour."


    What the hell?!


    How could they take a detour?


    Hearing this answer, a group of staff members were stunned.


    Aftermunicating with many parties, they were unable to solve the problem, so they could only report it to themand center.

 Chapter 652 Another Fleet Is Coming

    Not long after, Wu Mo received the news too.


    He looked at the star map and found that there was a huge gold mine beyond the base.


    The other country had deployed many people to search every corner.


    Unfortunately, it was very difficult for them to find the gold mine''s exact location. Only the people of China knew.


    However, the people of that country had sealed off the area.


    Even if they could not find the gold mine, they would not let China''s base search for it.


    Wu Moughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes.


    He did not expect anyone to be bold enough to attack him despite the risk of losing the dome''s protection!


    Without any hesitation, he immediately started to give them a refund.


    "Return their three hundred billion yuan! Withdraw the dome!"


    Following his order, three hundred billion yuan was returned to the country''s ount.


    At the same time, the dome quickly retracted until the country''s base waspletely exposed to the scorching sun.


    It was like the spring sun was shining on snow. The people on this national base instantly panicked!


    "D*mn. What happened? We''ve already paid!"


    "Hurry up. Ask the Chinese for a refund! They took our money, but they''re taking back our part of the dome!"


    "Hmph. They think they can monopolize everything? We have theary Alliance''s support. They can''t do whatever they want!"


    The people on the base mocked them.


    They sent this information back to the headquarters immediately and requested theary Alliance to impose a penalty on China.


    However, they received shocking news from the headquarters the next moment.


    A huge sum of three hundred billion appeared in their ount, and there was an extra ten billion!


    Everyone on the base was stunned.


    "Have they really chased us out of the dome and returned our money with interest?"


    Unfortunately, it was toote by the time they reacted.


    They quickly sent people through theary Alliance tomunicate with China and put in a good word. They even wanted to send the three hundred billion yuan back.


    However, China rejected it, and the dome device remained withdrawn.


    It was impossible to rewrite the past!


    "Director Wu! We weren''t thinking straight. Please have mercy on us and give us a chance. We''ll remove the blockade immediately! How about you send your people over?"


    The person in charge of the base quickly contacted Wu Mo via the big screen.


    However, Wu Mo was no longer in the mood to pay him any attention.


    He had a lot of things to do every day, so how could he have the time to care about these people?


    Therefore, they were kicked out of the dome''s protection.


    "Haha! Look at that base. It''s been driven out of the dome''s range. What a tragedy!"


    For a moment, countless peopleughed at them.


    Some people thought that they deserved to enjoy the dome''s protection.


    Not only were they ungrateful, but they were even bold enough to provoke him. What a joke!


    Even though China had obtained some special privileges because of the treasure troves, it was still not a big deal.


    Nevertheless, it was still a testament to their strength. If one was capable, one could find these ces!


    At the very least, other countries understood that although they were unhappy, they could not do something as unreasonable as blocking the road.


    That country had no choice but to fight to the death. Its people began to quickly build another base, which was then developed into a mega-city.


    Unfortunately, their city was outside the dome.


    It was like a luxury car without insurance. Once something happened, it would bepletely over.


    Wu Mo did not care about them anymore. He started to focus on his own matters instead.


    They were not worth mentioning at all. He did not have to waste time on them.


    "Director Wu, the observatory has sent a message. A fleet of spaceships seems to be heading toward us from eight light-years away¡­"


    When someone sent the news, everyone instantly became nervous.


    "Hmm. Those fellows from Dark Star haven''t given up yet? Are they preparing to stir up trouble again?"


    Wu Mo immediately activated the remote-sensing satellites to check their data.


    There were ten spaceships on the screen. They were gradually approaching like glowing lights.


    ording to the observation data, they were flying extremely fast.


    They were already traveling at twice the speed of light. They might even touch the edge of three times the speed of light!


    If they maintained this speed...


    If they continued to elerate in the void of the universe, they would likely reach an incredible speed of four to five times the speed of light.


    It was terrifying.


    This also meant that they could reach Eternal Sun''s vicinity within a few months.


    "It looks like we need to speed up Eternal Sun''s development. Once these alien civilizations arrive, we might be embroiled in endless battles!"


    Wu Mo was deep in thought. He sounded serious.


    War was the greatest obstacle to a civilization''s development.


    It would halt progress and might evenpletely destroy the fragile civilization on the.


    Therefore, China''s construction team began to go all out.


    Cities sprang up like bamboo shoots after the rain as ifary migration was already in sight.


    China''s spokespersonter announced to the world that they would pick a hundred Chinese citizens and twenty citizens from other countries to live in the new city.


    As the first batch of city dwellers, they would experience a new life on Eternal Sun!


    The moment this news came out, the world went into a frenzy.


    Countless people rushed to sign up!


    "Oh, my God! It''s time to immigrate! It''s a great honor for us to be among the lucky first batch of immigrants!"


    The Chinese citizens who had been selected were ecstatic. They felt like their luck was off the charts because the chosen one hundred people had no connections.


    They had all been randomly selected by Wu Mo through the household registration system.


    When these one hundred people learned that they had a chance to be the first immigrants, they were all extremely excited.


    They made all the preparations and silently waited for that moment to arrive¡­


    There were also neers from all over the world, but only twenty of them were selected.


    They were going to board a ship with the one hundred people from China and head to Eternal Sun.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, why don''t you migrate with them?" an engineer asked doubtfully.


    Wu Mo replied, "I have a feeling that this migration will further trigger the sensitive Dark Starlings. They''ll definitely think of ways to destroy this! I have to make ns and prepare to build a second fleet of spaceships!"


    "A second fleet? Chief Engineer Wu, I heard that the Mountain Sea Fleet has already expanded to sixty ships. Will we be able to build our firstbat team?"


    The engineer was confused.


    A full fleet did not just consist of a few spaceships. It would require at least thirty spaceships.


    Building one spaceship fleet seemed to be China''s current limit.


    However, he did not know that Wu Mo was nning to build abat team that was even stronger than the Mountain Sea Fleet!


    Even though there were not many spaceships, every single one of them was automatically matched by the system''s store.


    Wu Mo browsed through the store and spotted something surprising.


    "Oh, Option Mode?"

 Chapter 653 Gambling

    Yes, a new category had appeared under the store''s spaceship construction tab: Option Mode.


    Option Mode wasparable to a luxury car on Earth. It could be configured with various features on demand.


    Therefore, Wu Mo named the new battle ships ships "Option Spaceships"!


    There were several hundred types of spaceships.


    For example, there were spaceships with advancedser attack systems, advanced defense systems, a variety of interconnected intelligent systems, and so on.


    The addition of each system made the battle ship even more powerful.


    Wu Mo created five battle ships in one go, like five sharp arrows.


    Two of them were like ferocious tigers attacking, while the other two were like solid shields, responsible for defense.


    And thest ship was like amander on the battlefield, able tomand the other four ships in all directions.


    It was like five soldiers fighting together under themand of a general.


    The general was the fifth ship.


    Wu Mo had only built these five new warships.


    The reason was very simple. His energy was approaching its limit.


    ''Looks like I need to put the energy serum on the official website for sale¡­'' Wu Mo thought to himself.


    His heart was filled with ambition. He wanted to create a powerful army made up of the Mountain Sea Fleet and these new superbat spaceships. He wanted to be China''s two great swords!


    It was like waving two swords, and they would unleash fatal attacks that would pose a great threat to the entire Dark Star.


    Even though our technological strength can''t keep up.


    But if we have such a powerful fleet, our can also protect itself in space.


    At the very least, based on the current situation, Dark Star had yet to sessfully surpass the level of a Level 2 civilization.


    Not to mention the question of whether a Level 1 civilization existed.


    However, as long as the civilization did not reach the level of a Level 2 civilization, it was impossible for Dark Star to truly destroy mankind.


    This was a race against time. Wu Mo knew that Dark Star''s ten spaceships would arrive at the humans or Eternal Sun in a few months.


    No matter which side it was, humans would not be able to withstand it.


    Therefore, in these few months, he had to quicklyplete this new spaceship fleet.


    The next morning, people from all over the world were surprised to find that there were a few new links on China''s official website for purchasing drugs.


    One of the links was particrly eye-catching.


    "The upgraded version of the super energy serum? There was no need to eat for half a year after taking it, and there were no side effects?"


    That was impossible!


    When some people saw this introduction, they immediately raised their doubts.


    They had some professional knowledge of biology and knew that the human body needed to absorb energy from food to maintain life and provide nutrition.


    However, this potion imed that he would not need to eat for half a year and would notck nutrition. How was this possible?


    This was like a perpetual motion machine, aplete contradiction.


    Where would the energye from?


    Where would these nutrientse from?


    Could it have appeared out of thin air?


    However, how could they understand the magic of this super energy serum?


    Not only did someone directly refute it, but an expert even published a paper.


    He liked to attract attention from China''s base.


    Then, they fiercely criticized the act of amassing money.


    This was a famous foreign professor and a representative expert in the field of biological research.


    He published a detailed article.


    Starting from the basic biological knowledge, he revealed in detail how ridiculous the so-called effect of the super energy serum was.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, look at this article. Professor Corick''s thesis said that our energy serum is anti-human. After using this drug, the human body will greatly deteriorate. What do you think?"


    At this moment, a researcher was holding a newly published science magazine.


    After reading this article, he spoke to Wu Mo.


    Wu Mo was busy with the experimental equipment.


    After hearing this, he couldn''t help but smile lightly, and his mocking expression was obvious.


    "The self-proimed authorities are only immersed in the ocean of theories. How can they understand the great changes in the world? Stubborn old men like them have been left behind by the pace of the times!"


    "Mr. Wu, if you don''t take the initiative to refute it, everyone in the world will believe that the expert''s words are true. I''m afraid our drug sales will plummet!"


    His assistant couldn''t help but anxiously state.


    Wu Mo instantly stopped what he was doing and nodded, admitting that this was indeed a difficult problem.


    "If that''s the case, then I''ll publish an article andpete with that expert!"


    Wu Mo thought for a moment and then immediately began to draft an article.


    This article deliberately avoided biological knowledge.


    He didn''t list out all kinds of theories and data like the expert.


    Instead, it described the changes in the current era and the leap in technology. It was of far-reaching significance!


    In the end, Wu Mo directly proposed a bet with this expert.


    It was to select a group of volunteers and let them try the energy serum.


    After half a year, he would undergo aprehensive physical examination.


    To see if they had any physical changes due to not eating for half a year.


    The moment Wu Mo made the bet, the world shook!


    The entire world''s attention was focused on that expert professor. They wanted to see how he would respond.


    Professor Corrick was so angry that his face turned red when he saw Wu Mo''s challenge in hisboratory.


    "Hmph. This young man is so arrogant after having some small achievements. He actually dares to make such a bet with me. Since that''s the case, I''ll ept this bet!"


    Mr. Corrick was furious and immediately agreed to Wu Mo''s challenge.


    This gamble had attracted the attention of the entire world, and Wu Mo knew that he could not lose even once.


    If they lost, the sales of the five potions would drop drastically!


    However, he believed that he would not lose. Professor Corick must be the one who lost.


    This was because on the day that the drug was developed, the two of them had already started working together.


    Wu Mo had already done a secret test.


    This potion was harmless to the human body and did not have any side effects. It would definitely not cause any negative effects!


    The working principle of the potion was also very mysterious.


    It could activate the biological cells of the human body and release the vitality of the cells.


    Moreover, it could maintain the metabolism in an extremely stable state without any fluctuations.


    This kind of thing was beyond the scope of modern science and any experimental exnation.


    It came from the magical system store and was difficult for humans to understand.


    This was also the reason why Wu Mo was confident enough to bet on this with Professor Corick.


    It could be said that he would definitely win.


    In the end, this world-renowned gamble was taken over by a third-party agency and handled fairly.


    This was only natural, because whether it was Wu Mo''s side or Professor Corick''s country, the results of the selection of the testing institution would not satisfy the public.


    Therefore, having a third party conduct the test was the best choice!


    Then, the ten volunteers began to take this super satiety potion.


    They did not need to eat for the next six months.


    After half a year, he would undergo aprehensive body function test.


    When the test results were out, the oue of this gamble would be revealed¡­


    In the next six months, these ten people would be closely monitored and no one was allowed to leave.


    Their every move would be broadcast live on the inte, monitored by all theizens.


    Anyonehad the right to ask these ten people to do certain actions and say certain words to prove that they had not been reced.

 Chapter 654 Spaceship Training Academy

    <h4>Chapter 654 Spaceship Training Academy</h4>


    After Wu Mo and Corrick''s bet began, it was clear who won and who lost.


    In that short period of time, it was impossible to settle down.


    During this period, the five miraculous potions were still being traded enthusiastically.


    It was worth mentioning that Corrick was an authority in biological science.


    His doubts instantly affected the sales of the medicine in the mall.


    However, Wu Mo looked at the points in his ount that were increasing day by day, and he was extremely satisfied.


    "It seems like I can build another 5 ships. With more of them, a second super battle team will be born."


    Wu Mo secretly nned.


    He estimated that once the bet was over, he would still have a month to prepare to fight against Dark Star.


    At that time, Wu Mo would definitely make Corrick and his country pay a painful price.


    They did not defect to Dark Star and betray humanity.


    However, at the critical moment, the doubts about his own medicine caused the speed of the warship production to slow down slightly.


    This undoubtedly triggered a chain reaction, making all his ns even more urgent.


    One day, the sales volume of the potions suddenly dropped. The total sales volume for the whole day was only about 300 bottles.


    Obviously, people had doubts about the effectiveness of this super satiety potion.


    Although the status of the ten people in the live broadcast room was disyed in real time, people guessed that they might have been reced or eaten secretly.


    "This is ridiculous. You have been monitoring them all this time. How could they secretly eat?"


    Some of the audience members mocked.


    Then, another audience member shouted uneasily,"


    "I''m going to send out an order. Ask the third volunteer to jump three times on the spot and then say a sentence ording to my instructions."


    The volunteerughed when he saw the bullet screen.


    He obediently followed the instructions.


    This test sessfully eliminated people''s doubts. It turned out that the ten volunteers had been sitting all along, and no one had yed any tricks.


    As a result, the sales of the potion began to slowly increase again.


    At this moment, Wu Mo was designing the core chip of the warship in his base.


    The chip that he envisioned must have a super intelligent ability.


    In battle, he could adjust his strategy ording to the environment in real time. It was definitely not a rigid and fixedbat mode.


    It was not difficult for him to design a chip.


    There were all kinds of super-intelligent chips that could be upgraded in the mall.


    However, Wu Mo knew that the A. I. chip had to bepatible with the entire ship''s system.


    Otherwise, if he only pursued the advancement of the chip, it would easily lead to a situation where the body could not keep up.


    In a space war, this could lead to disastrous consequences.


    Right now, Wu Mo was designing a temporary pilot control system for the new spaceship. The selection of pilots would also be very strict.


    During this period, there were actually a few ces that had opened training schools for pilots.


    The moment theyunched their attacks, they immediately attracted the attention of many.


    "Oh? These spaceship pilot training schools aren''t official?"


    Wu Mo was surprised. The first training school might not be the real pioneer, but it was undoubtedly thergest and most influential.


    This training school had really caught up with the times.


    Wu Mo couldn''t help but look at it with intense curiosity.


    "The Spaceship Training Academy."


    The name itself was as attractive as a ma!


    Thebat spaceships designed by Wu Mo had always been automated. There was no record of manual operation.


    However, this training academy was saying that it could train a pilot who could pilot a spaceship and fight.


    What made it so confident?


    "I have to see what this academy really looks like!"


    Wu Mo quickly instructed his assistant.


    The assistant immediately got busy, but after a while, he returned with the information he had obtained.


    "Mr. Wu, this training academy is a self-initiated project of the four astronauts."


    The assistant reported to Wu Mo with a bitter smile.


    When Wu Mo heard this, he was stunned for a moment before bursting intoughter.


    Were these four guys so restless?


    They had been put aside since the end of that mission because they could not use the same team for every space mission.


    The reason was simple. Their previous mission might have been affected by some unknown radiation in the universe.


    He had to observe his body for a period of time to see if there were any changes.


    But even if there were no problems, they still needed to be idle for a period of time to see if there were any other reactions.


    Unexpectedly, these four astronauts had nothing to do during their free time and actually opened the first Spaceship Training Academy.


    This action immediately attracted arge number of people who were keen to learn the experience of flying a spaceship.


    However, how could such an academy really have a spaceship? They could only rely on arge number of model training.


    This method greatly inspired Wu Mo.


    He was currently looking for a suitable pilot to pilot the newbat spaceship.


    These pilots must have been selected from ordinary astronauts.


    However, ordinary astronauts could only deal with emergencies.


    They were unable to pilot the spaceship into battle mode.


    Wu Mo realized that he needed to establish a professional training institution.


    They would train first-ss pilots who could pilotbat spaceships to protect the interests of the and fight against alien civilizations.


    Thinking of this, Wu Mo immediately said to his assistant, "Let''s go to that training academy and take a look!"


    "What? Mr. Wu, you''re going personally?"


    Everyone was shocked. They didn''t expect Wu Mo to even want to see that academy.


    The crowd instantly boiled over, and a row of cars slowly drove toward the training academy.


    When Wu Mo and the others arrived at the academy, everyone was shocked!


    The surrounding roads had been cleared.


    Wu Mo and a group of researchers walked into the academy.


    There was a huge square in the middle of the academy. There were a few models on the square, and some students were imitating driving in the models.


    Wu Mo was attracted by this scene and found that the design of the model''s cockpit was extremely realistic.


    All the buttons and designs were just right.


    It could be seen that this was a work of great effort.


    This spaceship model,pared to the real thing, it was almost the same, about seventy to eighty percent simr.


    Wu Mo boasted to the big mouth to receive him, and the teachers were all so happy that they couldn''t stop grinning.


    Actually, these teachers were only called teachers because they had been in this industry for some time.


    But don''t expect them to pilot a real spaceship.


    With the exception of the four astronauts who founded the academy, which of the other teachers had actually seen a spaceship with their own eyes?


    However, he had to admit that his theoretical knowledge was very solid and his knowledge was quite high, which was why he could hold a teaching position.


    When the four astronauts received the news, they immediately dropped whatever they were doing and ran back to wee Wu Mo.


    "Director Wu, why didn''t you tell us earlier? We should have received you well."


    They were all flustered. They didn''t expect their small academy to attract Wu Mo''s attention.


    Then, under the guidance of the four of them, Wu Mo carefully toured the academy.


    Finally, they sat down in the meeting room and Wu Mo put forward his idea.

 Chapter 655 Starting a New Course

    <h4>Chapter 655 Starting a New Course</h4>


    "Your academy''s only interested in training astronauts for long-distance travel, isn''t it?" he asked earnestly.


    The four astronauts exchanged looks and nodded.


    "Yeah, Mr. Wu. We''d like to train more astronauts like us to support China''s aerospace industry."


    Wu Mo nodded. He felt that their ideas were very good, but they still needed to broaden their horizons and approach.


    Then, Wu Mo continued, "Have you ever thought that the most important thing now is not to travel long distances? Instead, we need to pilot battle spaceships, protect the, and fight against alien civilizations."


    The four astronauts were stunned when they heard this.


    They shook their heads to show that they had not realized this before.


    Hence, Wu Mo smiled and suggested, "I have a good idea. I''d like to start a course in your academy to train battleship pilots. What do you think?"


    Upon hearing his suggestion, an older astronaut stood up excitedly and said, "Mr. Wu, that''s a great idea. This way, we will definitely have more students. Everyone wants to learn how to pilot a spaceship!"


    They were worrying about how to make a name for themselves.


    This idea would definitely attract everyone''s attention, and their academy would be bigger and bigger.


    Although the academy might change some things when it became bigger.


    However, they were not afraid at all. As long as they could make the academy better, they were willing to do anything.


    Wu Mo said with satisfaction, "That''s good, I will let the base send a few real spaceships over, so that the students cane into contact with the real spaceships."


    Hearing this news, the four astronauts were so excited that they almost suffocated.


    "My God, a real spaceship. This isn''t a model. This is a real spaceship!"


    The ecstasy in their hearts was beyond words.


    In the past, their students could onlye into contact with models and could not experience the shock that a real spaceship could bring.


    Wu Mo''s ingenious answer easily solved this tricky problem.


    The academy''s future was like a golden road waiting for them to explore.


    Then, the news spread like a storm.


    For a time, the whole world was discussing this hot topic.


    "Impossible! A spaceship pilot course is actually offered in this academy?"


    "Oh, my God! This is great. This is perfect. I finally have a chance to realize my dream. I want to sign up immediately!"


    "Hahaha! I''m going to sign up too. I''m very interested in pilot training!"


    To everyone, piloting a spaceship was a lofty dream in their hearts, especially when they saw the battle spaceships flying freely in the sky and fighting alien civilizations.


    They dreamed that they could sit in that spaceship and fight for the survival of mankind!


    As soon as this thought was ignited, many people''s blood began to boil¡­


    Then, the first thing they did was to hurry to the academy to register.


    Of course, not everyone was qualified to sign up. The conditions were very simple.


    First, they had to pass a physical examination. Only those with normal physical indicators were qualified to participate in the second round of assessment.


    After a few rounds of rigorous tests, one could truly be a battle spaceship pilot in training.


    Wu Mo had personally set these rules, and the academy''s opening ceremony would be held again. He would be the one to speak on behalf of everyone.


    That day, it attracted the attention of everyone. Countless media outlets rushed over.


    They all knew that this was the big day for the Spaceship Training Academy to open a new course.


    It was said that this new course was meant to train the pilots ofbat spaceships.


    In an instant, the reporters smelled a new hot news!


    They arrived at the academy early in the morning and fought for the best seats. They were busy setting up the equipment and waiting for the ceremony to begin.


    Finally, the ceremony officially began.


    Then, the four astronauts went on stage on the academy''s behalf to give a speech, and the audience was filled with students.


    Most of them were teachers, and there were also some new students who looked confused.


    He didn''t know what the academy wanted to do, nor did he know what the its deep goal was.


    These questions needed to be exined to them.


    Today, the four astronauts and Wu Mo would answer the questions of the freshmen.


    After the four astronauts finished speaking, they slowly walked down the stage. The next highlight began!


    In front of the live broadcast of the media reporters, the audience all over the world could see this scene.


    Wu Mo and a few other researchers slowly walked onto the stage.


    Then, Wu Mo sat in the middle, ready to exin the important reason for the creation of this new subject.


    Wu Mo''s words were so direct that it shocked the entire world!


    "Seven monthster, ten terrifying spaceships from Dark Star will arrive. That might be the moment when humanity bes extinct!"


    What was that?


    This...


    What did Mr. Wu just say?


    This time, the audience from all over the world, the people in the live chat, and everyone present, including the four astronauts who had just stepped off the stage, were all stunned and speechless.


    They wondered if Wu Mo was joking. How could he say something like that so casually?


    Taking a step back, even if it was true, he couldn''t casually say it out loud in such an asion.


    Wasn''t he afraid of causing public panic?


    In an instant, the news was like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves.


    Even the leaders of China''s base were shocked.


    When the old general received this report, his expression turned ugly.


    "This Wu Mo is a talent, but sometimes he is too reckless. How could such a big matter be casually revealed to the public?"


    However, he also understood that since it had already happened, there was no point in saying anything more.


    He had to think of a way to reduce the impact of this matter as much as possible.


    Before everyone could recover from their shock.


    Wu Mo spoke again, "The power of these ten spaceships is earth-shattering. We humans might not be able to resist, but China will not give in easily. We have to step forward!"


    Hearing this, everyone''s emotions calmed down a little.


    They understood that Wu Mo might have exaggerated the severity of the problem in order to provoke everyone.


    Then, everyone quieted down and listened to him.


    Wu Mo slowly exined his n.


    "What we need to do is the same as what we did when we established the mech school. In order to resist Dark Star''s invasion, we have decided to open a training course forbat spaceship pilots."


    Hearing this, everyone finally understood that the so-called drama had just begun.


    So, this pilot training course was to deal with the uing alien invasion?


    However, this topic was a little unbelievable to everyone.


    People enjoyed peaceful lives, and the universe before them was so vast and boundless.


    Why did those alien civilizations choose to invade us?


    Furthermore, the humans had already begun to develop Eternal Sun.


    Why didn''t the extraterrestrials choose Eternal Sun, but chose to attack our home?

 Chapter 656 Deciding The Victor

    ?


    The whole thing was as suspicious as it was puzzling.


    However, Wu Mo could not give a clear answer.


    Eventually, Wu Mo said, "In the next seven months, we have to race against time to train a group of excellent battleship pilots. They''ll be the main force in our war against alien civilizations."


    Hearing this, the faces of the novice students sitting below changed drastically. They were all extremely shocked.


    Some were even thinking about withdrawing¡­


    They chose this training simply to find a good job and live a better life.


    If they had to face impending cmity, they would not be willing to fight against the alien civilization.


    After all, not everyone had such a selfless spirit.


    Wu Mo looked at the students below.


    He knew that some were starting to get scared and consider quitting.


    He smiled and waved his hand. "I''ve already told everyone what this course truly entails. If you want to quit, please raise your hand now. I promise that you won''t be punished."


    Wu Mo respected everyone''s choice. He would never force them to do something they were unwilling to do.


    The moment Wu Mo finished speaking, there was amotion in the crowd.


    As expected, a student mustered up his courage and stood up with his hand raised. "I''m sorry, Mr. Wu. I might disappoint you and the other teachers, but I''m my mother''s only son, so I''ve decided to quit."


    Someone else stood up and said with an apologetic smile, "I''m sorry, everyone. I didn''t understand the mission and duty of a battleship pilot before. I''m deeply sorry. I don''t think I can handle this heavy responsibility, so I''ve decided to quit..."


    After that, others expressed their decision one after another.


    The number of hands in the crowd wasparable to bamboo shoots after a spring rain.


    The sudden change made the teachers and four founders speechless.


    Their expressions instantly darkened as if they were in disbelief.


    These noble students had gone through hardships, but they were choosing to withdraw at this critical moment.


    However, there was a faint sense of relief in Wu Mo''s eyes following the shocking oue.


    After all, choosing to withdraw now might not be a bad thing.


    If they learned all the skills and lost their nerves when they entered the battlefield, they would truly be doomed.


    Therefore, the panic they were showing now and their choice to leave seemed more like good news to Wu Mo.


    He nced at the number of people present and counted them.


    Among the original seniors, sixty-eight chose to change careers. Among the eighty new students, fifty-two chose to quit.


    In other words, after they heard the truth from Wu Mo, more than half the students chose to withdraw from this major. Some were even prepared to drop out.


    They had initially chosen to join the Spaceship Training Academy because they wanted to be part of the glorious family of astronauts.


    They never thought that they would have to risk their lives to fight alien civilizations in space.


    Right then, the most cowardly side of human nature was revealed as they chose to avoid reality.


    Even so, Wu Mo did not me anyone.


    However, the defensive capabilities of this new type of battleship were powerful, hence the risk in battle was not high.


    He knew that once they realized this, they might regret their decision, But by then, it would be toote.


    After those people left, there were less than fifty individuals left in the academy.


    These people were stunned, but there was determination in the depths of their eyes.


    They had ordinary backgrounds, but they held strong beliefs. Even after they heard Wu Mo''s exnation, they still decided to stay andplete their studies.


    If something big happened in the future, they would enter the battlefield to defend mankind''s honor.


    Wu Mo felt a little touched when he saw them.


    "Each and every one of you has impressed me."


    He said, "I promise you that you''ll be the best spaceship pilots in the future!"


    Although he had warned them about the danger, they still chose to stay.


    This proved that they were allmitted people.


    At this moment, the whole world was watching the live stream and talking about it.


    The audience was divided into two factions. One faction supported those who left, while the other supported those who stayed.


    With that over, the academy finally got on the right track.


    Wu Mo also announced that he had be the academy''s honorary principal before he officially started the new course.


    When a real battle spaceshipnded on the academy''s field, itsinternal control facilities attracted the attention of all the students who had stayed behind.


    Everyone lined up to take a look. When they saw how magnificent the inside of the spaceship was, they were all shocked.


    "Oh, my God. This is a real battle spaceship. Only a spaceship like this can deal a substantial blow to the alien civilization!" a student said emotionally.


    "Phew! This spaceship is the only true battleship. There''s no other spaceship that canunch a powerful attack against the alien creatures," another student expressed his opinion excitedly.


    After everyone visited the battle spaceship''s cabin, they were deeply shocked. Strong emotions surged in their hearts.


    They realized that although the previous spaceship model could be restored to a certain extent, there was a considerable gap between it and a real battle spaceship.


    Time moved quickly, and half a year passed by.


    The results of the bet with Professor Corrick were about to be revealed.


    At this moment, everyone watching the live stream was waiting with rapt attention.


    They knew that the ten volunteers had not faked it or secretly taken any supplements.


    Just as dawn broke, body samples were collected from the ten volunteers.


    Their blood, bodily fluids, hair, and other data would be made public in session.


    "Director Wu, the test is about to begin! The winner of the bet is about to be decided!" a researcher reported to Wu Mo.


    Wu Mo nodded lightly and slowly said, "Alright. I got it. Tell me when the results are out!"


    Wu Mo did not pay too much attention to it because he was sure that he would not lose.


    At this moment, Professor Corrick became the center of attention.


    Everyone wanted to know who would win the bet between him and Wu Mo.


    They waited nervously for the test results from the hospital.


    Soon, the test results were announced one after another.


    The first blood test showed that the volunteers'' blood waspletely normal. It was no different from that of an ordinary person.


    When the results were announced, Professor Corrick immediately became restless.


    However, he still waited patiently for the rest of the results.


    The second bodily fluid test also turned outpletely normal!


    "What? How is this possible? Their blood and bodily fluids are normal. How could this be?"

 Chapter 657 Hot Sales In The Store

    Professor Corrick could not ept the fact that their bodily fluids were normal.


    The third result concerned their hair and hormone levels. Those werepletely normal too!


    The world was instantly shocked. Those who saw this went into an uproar.


    Everyone knew that the oue of the bet had been decided. Wu Mo had won without a doubt.


    Professor Corrick, on the other hand, had lost the bet and his dignity.


    Everything he understood had been turned on its head.


    Although he was not wrong from a biological standpoint, everyone knew that the truth mattered most.


    It was a fact that the ten volunteers were all incredibly d after they took the Super Satiety Potion.


    There was nothing wrong with their bodies, and all their data came out normal!


    Under such circumstances, Corrick waspletely defeated.


    "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! How could I be wrong? If I''m wrong, then biology is wrong too!"


    Corrick refused to ept defeat and issued a statement to the magazine.


    He believed that Wu Mo must have used some unknown power to challenge biological science.


    If he was wrong, then the biological science that humans learned was wrong.


    Following his conclusion, Wu Mo merely smiled and said to a group of confused researchers, "I''d like to make an announcement that reads as follows..."


    Then, Wu Mo dered, "If biological science contradicts today''s facts, then it''s undoubtedly wrong. In fact, biological science itself is iplete. It doesn''t fully reveal the true face of the universe."


    These words were like a bolt from the blue, but everyone acknowledged Wu Mo''s point of view.


    "The science we pursue is, indeed, based on our understanding of the world around us. If science is wrong, it would be more urate to say that weck understanding!"


    Everyone agreed with this, especially Wu Mo.


    They all knew that Corrick had been defeated, but he was in denial. It was obvious that he was unwilling to ept defeat!


    Such ungentlemanly behavior was truly disappointing.


    ording to their previous agreement, Corrick had to publish an official apology in a world-renowned magazine. But he never did so.


    Wu Mo knew that Corrick was obviously concerned about his reputation, hence he found it difficult to write an apology.


    However, none of this seemed important. The moment the results of their bet came out, the sales of all the potions on China''s official website began to increase dramatically!


    "Wow, Chief Engineer Wu! We sold more than twenty thousand bottles of potions today. This is really shocking!" aresearcher said in surprise and joy.


    "That''s to be expected," Wu Mo replied with a smile. "The bet with Corrick has greatly boosted their sales."


    At the rate they were selling, Wu Mo estimated that he wouldplete the goal he had set in a maximum of ten days.


    Besides, the ships from Dark Star would not be able to reach Eternal Sun in ten days.


    Even if they arrived ten dayster, Wu Mo would not be afraid.


    On the tenth day, Corrick still did not withdraw his statement.


    Therefore, Wu Mo handed the matter over to China''s Science Department.


    He would let them negotiate with Corrick and urge him to issue an apology as soon as possible.


    At the same time, Wu Mo began to implement his original n on the base.


    It was an iparably huge spaceship.


    If the giant ships on the sea were called aircraft carriers, then this giant spaceship that soared in the starry sky could be called an aerial aircraft carrier!


    This huge spaceship was equivalent to a mobile supply base.


    Wu Mo named it the Recement.


    The name represented the fact that this spaceship had surpassed everything they previously knew andsurpassed the limits of human technology!


    The Recement carried the hope of all mankind. It was about to conquer the universe and fight against alien civilizations.


    Of course, there would be a grand press conference for the Recement''s birth. It was of great significance after all.


    Once the entire world learned that China had created a huge spaceship that wasparable to a spaceship carrier, everyone was stunned.


    "Heavens! The Recement? That name sounds pretty threatening!"


    "Yes. Plus, Chief Engineer Wu created it. How can it be bad?"


    "Ah, I can''t wait to see the Recement''s true face!"


    Reporters from all over the world arrived at the press conference.


    Before long, the Recement''s model appeared on the screen.


    Everyone instantly fell silent. No one spoke as they fixed their eyes on the screen.


    The Recement''s size was mind-blowing!


    Even though it was just a model, viewers could still sense how big it was.


    Based on the model, the normal spaceships of the past paled inparison to the Recement.


    It was ten times bigger than those regr spaceships!


    "Oh, my God. The antimatter propulsion system of such a big spaceship has to be very powerful. China has made great technological progress again!"


    Experts from other foreign Scientific Research Departments could not help but sigh.


    Even if they worked as fast as they could, they would not be able to catch up to China.


    The distance between them was not decreasing. In fact, it was increasing like a spring being pulled taut.


    "Listen up. I have some shocking news to share with everyone. The Recement will carry nearly one hundredbat mechs. If necessary, these mechs will engage with the extraterrestrial creatures in intensebat!"


    Wu Mo''s deration shocked everyone. The atmosphere was as cold as winter.


    A brave reporter stood up and asked suspiciously, "Mr. Wu, how is that possible? I thought that mechs are used to fight sea monsters? How can they guarantee our safety in space? How can they fulfill the conditions for closebat?"


    His questions undoubtedly expressed everyone''s confusion.


    Wu Mo smiled. "Mechs are our trump cards. If the situation permits, they''ll remain hidden within the Recement."


    This exnation enlightened everyone. They realized that Wu Mo did not intend to let his mechs fight in space as the main force. They were just there in case things took a turn for the worse!


    Wu Mo was a true visionary.


    Everyone knew he was great at careful nning.


    His work was always impable. In addition, people admired hisprehensive consideration of all aspects.


    ''cing so many mechs in arge spaceship should give a shocking effect at a critical moment, right?'' areporter thought to himself.


    He mustered up his courage and stood up to ask a question that he had wanted answered for a long time.


    "Mr. Wu, Dark Star''s spaceships will arrive at Eternal Sun in a few days. Should we send all our weapons and equipment to our Eternal Sun base in advance?"


    Everyone was concerned about this.


    Right now, Dark Star had ten high-tech spaceships.


    Theirbat systems were quite advanced.


    Under such circumstances, China had to n ahead and lead the world to victory!

 Chapter 658 Fantasy Team

    The entire world''s attention was focused on China.


    They were all looking forward to how China would lead the world in winning this crucial war..


    That''s right. China''s base was now smart enough to not take another risk.


    Instead, the Chinese would use all of the power within theary Alliance to coordinate the situation and decide the oue of their battle with Dark Star.


    Every time they faced an extraterrestrial civilization, China would represent the entire world and sacrifice their own interests.


    Yet, what did they ever get?


    This was someone else''s internal strife. It was really not worth their time.


    Wu Mo decided that this time, theary Alliance would send out at least ten ships no matter what!


    Otherwise, Wu Mo would remove the dome device from their bases. When that happened, everyone would suffer.


    Upon hearing Wu Mo''s order, China''s base went all out and delivered the message to the outside world.


    The countries within theary Alliance could only obey Wu Mo''s orders.


    Some countries had very basic aerospace technology. It was impossible for them to develop any spaceships.


    Other countries were slightly stronger, so they could build one or two spaceships.


    However, their overall strength was still insignificant.


    Ten spaceships was the minimum that Wu Mo had set after some consideration. He believed that these countries should be capable enough to build them.


    After Wu Mo thought about these things at the press conference, he immediately responded, "Alright. In the next three days, our military supplies will be transported to our bases on Eternal Sun. We have eighteen bases on that, and each base is equipped with at least five spaceships on standby!"


    "Really? Eighteen bases, and each of them has five spaceships? How powerful!"


    Countless people in the crowd were shocked speechless. They stared at Wu Mo like deer in headlights.


    They were shocked by his confident aura.


    They had to pause and ponder what all this meant.


    China had used its power to set up spaceships that couldpete with the entire world.


    "Oh, my God! Has China''s base developed to such a stage? It''s clearly at the top in the aviation field!"


    An old expert sighed deeply. He was speechless.


    He was an authority in the aviation field of a powerful country.


    Before China''s rise, he had broken many records in the aviation field for his country.


    He was regarded as one of the greatest hopes for a revival of aviation in the country.


    However, that star of hope had now lost its luster entirely because China''s starlight was too dazzling.


    Before this terrifying radiance, every other star seemed to pale inparison.


    Eventually, the day arrived. In fact, after the press conference ended, Wu Mo had already begun to take action.


    One after another, spaceships began to move toward Eternal Sun.


    This foreign would also be humanity''s first line of defense. It would engage in an ultimate showdown with the ten spaceships from Dark Star!


    Regardless of the war''s oue, its influence would be far-reaching.


    Wu Mo, on the other hand, intended to use this opportunity to greatly improve mankind''s technological level.


    Before everyone''s watchful eyes, all the spaceships on the screen began to take off one by one.


    After some of China''s normal civilian spaceships were dispatched, the spaceships that the alliance had promised also began to move.


    "Look! That''s our spaceship. Haha. It''s glorious!"


    A member of the publicughed with pride because he saw the spaceship from his country slowly rise into the air on the screen.


    "What are you so proud of? The people of China aren''t even showing any pride, so what gives you the right to be that proud?"


    Certain individuals from other countries suddenly left such words on the Inte and made the young man speechless.


    There was no doubt that in the current situation, if any country could afford to be proud, it would be none other than China.


    "Look at that! How spectacr!" someone suddenly eximed.


    On the screen, after all the conventional spaceships took off, a fleet of battle spaceships formed. They looked extremely terrifying and domineering, hence they attracted everyone''s attention!


    Under the watchful eyes of a group of space enthusiasts, the Mountain Sea Fleet made its grand entrance. After that, every spaceship flew directly to Eternal Sun.


    Everyone thought that it was over, but it actually was not!


    Following that, some extremely unique and intimidating spaceships slowly appeared.


    "My God, what is this? Why didn''t Chief Engineer Wu tell us before?"


    A group of researchers looked at the scene on the screen in surprise.


    There were only about twenty ships.


    However, the design of each ship seemed too modern and fantastical.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, what kind of fleet is this?" a researcher immediately asked Wu Mo.


    Wu Mo shook his head and smiled mysteriously, but he did not say anything.


    "It''s still too early to reveal the truth. You''ll know everything when the timees."


    Wu Mo hinted mysteriously with a smile.


    Everyone was extremely curious about these mysterious spaceships.


    However, Wu Mo kept his mouth shut, so they could only suppress their curiosity for now.


    As the various types of ships entered Eternal Sun''s territory, everyone realized that the spaceships from Dark Star would arrive in two days.


    Through the ultra-long-range space surveince satellite, they had already seen the blurry shadow of the spaceships from Dark Star.


    They looked like ten glimmers in the starry sky.


    As time passed, the ten specks of light slowly approached, but they had clearly slowed down.


    "Oh, they''ve slowed down. Have they noticed our activity on Eternal Sun?" Wu Mo muttered to himself in a low voice.


    They were about to engage in battle with Dark Star.


    He could not miss any details or deal with any link rashly.


    "No, they couldn''t have discovered us. The only exnation is that they might be using a cautious strategy to attack Eternal Sun," Wu Mo immediately asserted in a decisive tone.


    After all, the radar protection systems on the were powered by dark matter. The powerful energy was enough to cover a span of one light-year.


    With such concealment, no one could tell that Eternal Sun was a true military fortress.


    Wu Mo believed that unless they were a Level 2 civilization, the Dark Starlings would not be able to sense it either.


    Otherwise, they would be on a different level.


    "Chief Wu, Dark Star''s spaceships have arrived. We should n to eliminate them from space as soon as possible!" an officer suggested to Wu Mo anxiously.


    This battle was not only rted to China''s honor, but it was also an opportunity for its people to strengthen their resolve.


    They decided that they could not let the war spread to Eternal Sun.


    If it did, the entire would be reduced to ruins. Such a victory would be meaningless.


    Therefore, blocking Dark Star''s spaceships from outer space and capturing them all in one fell swoop were keys to winning.


    Wu Mo thought for a moment and confidently said, "I understand. When they''re five thousand kilometers away, I''ll give the order."


    Everyone was relieved when they heard Wu Mo''s assurance.


    They believed that as long as Wu Mo made a move, the enemy would be annihted within a five-thousand-kilometer radius.


    However, Wu Mo was interested in something else at this moment.


    Why had Professor Corrick not published an apology yet?

 Chapter 659 - 659 Kill These Invaders

    659 Kill These Invaders


    Wu Mo obviously did not care about the thesis.


    Although there were only twenty ships, it was enough.


    Nevertheless, Wu Mo insisted that right and wrong had to be made clear. Since Professor Corrick had already promised, why had he not kept it?


    Therefore, Wu Mo became serious and issued a statement.


    ¡°Professor Corrick, I¡¯m ashamed of your audacity. You¡¯ve ced a bet in front of the whole world and refused to admit defeat. Everyone can see how despicable your character is.¡±


    Wu Mo¡¯s words were extremely harsh. Even he felt that Professor Corrick might not be able to ept it.


    Could you imagine it? But the tenacious old man was unwavering and as quiet as ever.


    It was as if his life was still full of bliss. Hepletely ignored the criticism around him.


    Wu Mo was rendered speechless by his indifference.


    He always felt that everyone should have some dignity and a threshold to withstand pressure.


    However, this guy named Corrick seemed clueless. What was going on?


    At the same time, the spokesperson from China¡¯s Science Department kept pressuring Corrick.


    He warned that if Corrick did not apologize, the scientificmunity wouldpletely ignore him.


    Once that happened, it would not matter how many students he had, how influential he was, and how many academic papers he published.


    It would not matter which conference he wanted to attend, what kind of opinion he wanted to express, or what kind of experimental research he wanted to do.


    Everyone would stop him and make it impossible for him to aplish anything.


    Such pressure was suffocating. It was the thing that scientists were most afraid of! Research always required substantial resources. If all their resources were taken away, what else could they do?


    Professor Corrick had no choice but to write an apology in shame.


    His apology was then published in a well-known scientific magazine. It was the embarrassment of the century!


    After he wrote it, Professor Corrick felt too ashamed to face the world.


    One could say that this bet hadpletely destroyed an authoritative expert in the biological science field.


    By now, Dark Star¡¯s spaceships were already five thousand kilometers away.


    These ten advanced spaceships represented Dark Star¡¯s greatest technology. They were going to engage in a true civilization showdown with China and the entire world.


    Wu Mo knew that mankind¡¯s sess would depend on this battle!


    It would be a lie to say that he was not nervous.


    Even someone with Wu Mo¡¯s mental fortitude would feel a little anxious.


    He stared at the ten small dots on themand screen. He could already see their positions and teams.


    The formation that they had adopted gave him a headache. They were neatly arranged in two rows.


    It was impossible to break through this formation.


    Nevertheless, they could still choose the most appropriate response strategy based on their enemy¡¯s reaction.


    ¡°These Dark Starlings are really powerful. Their spaceships look unusual, but they¡¯re the¡¯s greatest technological achievement!¡±


    An officer was in charge of the entire operation. When he saw the scene, his pupils gradually constricted.


    ¡°Attack with full force! Destroy the Dark Starlings!¡±


    When the enemy ships entered the attack range, the officer immediately gave the order to attack.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Their three bases on Eternal Sun were located on the other side of the.


    They were the first line of defense against the Dark Star spaceships.


    At this moment, all the spaceships rose into the sky. The antimatter propelled them through space at a speed faster than light speed.


    At the same time, the preparedser cannons began firing rapidly as well. They caught the Dark Star spaceship off guard.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Our operation¡¯s supposed to be top-secret, so how did we get discovered?¡±


    The expressions of the Dark Starlings within the spaceship changed drastically.


    If they knew that Wu Mo had developed an ultra-long-range space exploration satellite.


    If it had a powerful invisibility effect, they would not be so surprised.


    Did they hear an officer giggling?


    China¡¯s response was too timely, and the effect was even better, catching those Dark Star spaceships off guard.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? How did this primitive civilization discover us? This is too strange!¡±


    Inside thergest spaceship, a Dark Star person with a golden hat on his head was a little annoyed.


    The glittering golden hat made him look particrly absurd.


    He was as angry as a human, and it was hard to ignore.


    You asked him why he was angry?


    This time, their spaceship used a very advanced shielding technology.


    Even if it was a thousand meters away, people without encryption technology would only mistake it for air.


    However, they were discovered and attacked five thousand kilometers away.


    This forced them to consider the seriousness of the problem.


    It was precisely because of this advanced shielding technology that they dared to advance slowly in a long snake formation without fear of any attacks.


    ¡°Eastern Base, dispatch ten Mountain Sea Spaceships to stop them!¡±


    At this moment, an officer who looked especially strong quickly gave the order.


    Look, a huge military base in the east is slowly starting up. One after another, Mountain Sea Spaceships are flying into space.


    The screen turned to space, and the whole world could see it.


    From a huge base, ten Mountain Sea Spaceships flew out!


    These ten spaceships represented the strongest military force of mankind. They were preparing to take the initiative to go into space to fight with the interster spaceships.


    The officermanded and dispatched the soldiers at the same time. It seemed that he was not under any pressure.


    He had a trustworthy advisor, Mr. Wu Mo. No matter what problems he encountered, he could ask him for advice.


    Moreover, the battle had just begun, so there was no need for a full mobilization.


    When the battle reached its climax, he could ask Wu Mo for help if he had any questions.


    Therefore, he could confidentlymand the entire battlefield.


    ¡°Third Western Base, listen up. Send out two super battle spaceships immediately andunch a long-range attack. Make sure that the Dark Star spaceships cannot get within two thousand meters,¡± the officer gave another important order.


    The audience all over the world understood that thest ships to appear were super battleships.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Are these spaceships even more powerful than that of the Mountain Sea Spaceships?¡± a military enthusiast could not help but ask.


    They knew that the Mountain Sea Fleet had the best spaceships on Earth, and no one could match them.


    However, a super battle spaceship had actually appeared. This made everyone extremely excited and wanted to see its true strength.


    ¡°Look. The super battleship has already moved out. We can see its true strength.¡±


    At this moment, everyone was staring nervously at the screen. They were afraid of missing an exciting moment.


    Then, a shocking scene yed out.

 Chapter 660 - 660 It’s Not a Good Situation

    660 It¡¯s Not a Good Situation


    The two superbat spaceships frantically shot out two rays as thick as arms.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Beams of light shot out at an astonishing speed. They surpassed the speed of light and left everyone dumbstruck.


    In an instant, it swept across the dark universe.


    This massive force caused the two starships to lose control of their bodies.


    The recoil was so strong that they couldn¡¯t withstand it. They were pushed back nearly a hundred meters!


    ¡°Looks like this force is a little too strong. I have to design a buffer to offset this recoil. Otherwise, it might have a fatal effect in a critical battle.¡±


    Wu Mo¡¯s expression darkened when he saw this.


    However, it was obvious that the others were excited by this scene!


    These two beams of light directly prated the darkness of the universe and fiercely collided with the two Dark Star spaceships.


    Crackle!


    A clear sound rang out, and the outer shells of the two spaceships began to crack.


    Pieces of ck metal shells floated down in the universe and turned into cosmic dust.


    Its core structure was exposed!


    ¡°Keep firing and blow up these two spaceships!¡±


    Seeing this situation, a well-built officer was extremely excited and quickly issued an order.


    They wouldunch a series of attacks to destroy these two spaceships to deal a blow to the morale of the Dark Starlings.


    Obviously, the Dark Starlings were not prepared. They did not expect China to use such a fierce attack.


    They had made a mistake in their calctions!


    Bang bang¡­


    Another two beams of light shot out. They came from the other two superbat spaceships.


    It was as if four superbat spaceships had attacked at the same time and formed a siege.


    This terrifying ray of light directly pierced through the horizon and blew up the exposed Dark Star Spaceship!


    Boom¡­


    In space, the two spaceships turned into fireballs, and mes flew everywhere.


    The other eight Dark Star spaceships swiftly pulled away to avoid being injured.


    In the dark starry sky, the atmosphere became unusually heavy.


    In themand room of the Dark Star spaceship, an alien wearing a golden hat was speechless for a long time.


    However, a vicious light shed in its eyes.


    ¡°Let these people experience the power of our high-tiers. Let them know that they are just ants!¡±


    The Dark Starling in the golden hat gave a decisive order.


    Following that, three of the remaining eight spaceships flew out and charged at the Chinese battleships in a sharp formation.


    ¡°Sharp de Formation! Their signature formation!¡±


    The expression of the muscr officer sitting next to Wu Mo changed.


    There was no doubt that this formation was very dangerous for them. They had to maintain a high level of vignce.


    This time, all thebat spaceships were equipped with two pilots.


    At this moment, the two pilots in each spaceship were very determined and did not have the slightest fear!


    These pilots were the first batch of graduates from the Spaceship Training Academy.


    They had all undergone strict tests, and their determination was very firm.


    Under Wu Mo¡¯s leadership, these pilots knew their responsibilities!


    They would step forward and use their best performance to defeat these extraterrestrial creatures and protect the dignity and territory of mankind.


    ¡°Kill! Kill them! Kill all these Dark Starlings!¡±


    At this time, the average age of the two pilots of one of the spaceships was only eighteen years old.


    However, their eyes were as fierce as wolves as they stared ahead.


    Both of them were experienced pilots. They had scored full marks many times in the simtion training!


    Although the simtion system was virtual, they had defeated the Dark Starlings many times in that environment and maintained an undefeated record. They had proven how skilled they were.


    Furthermore, their cooperation was wless. The battleship rushed out and entered the battle in a diving posture.


    The sound of the explosion instantly filled the universe, followed by a shocking echo.


    China¡¯s spaceship was suddenly sted into a ball of mes!


    ¡°How could a hair of the sun be like this? How could their rays be so fast?¡±


    The robust officer¡¯s face turned pale.


    They could not believe that Dark Star¡¯s spaceships had truly disyed their formidable strength.


    Their formation is so agile, and the speed of their beams is far beyond our expectations!


    ¡°It seems like the energy source of the Dark Star¡¯s spaceship is different from before. We have to be more careful.¡±


    Wu Mo¡¯s face was tense and his tone was serious.


    If they didn¡¯t maintain their vignce, their spaceship might very well be defeated by the Dark Star spaceship.


    After all, just like the current situation, whether it was in terms of sturdiness or the power of the beams, Dark Star¡¯s spaceships far surpassed China¡¯s.


    Then, bad news came.


    Emergency calls came in one after another.


    ¡°What happened?¡±


    Wu Mo quickly nced at the slightly solemn expression of the logistics staff.


    A receptionist hung up the phone and reported nervously.


    ¡°Mister Wu, the spaceships of a few countries had acted on their own without permission at another base. In the end, they were captured by Dark Star¡¯s spaceships and all of them were destroyed!¡±


    ¡°It exploded? What was that? How could they act on their own andpletely ignore themand center¡¯s orders! Wu Mo said in shock.


    The sturdy-level officer beside him was as pale as a sheet.


    In such a critical battle, disobeying orders would definitely bring disastrous consequences.


    Right now, the strength of these countries ¡®spaceships was inferior to Dark Star¡¯s.


    And if they didn¡¯t listen to orders and acted rashly, they would only suffer the consequences of their actions.


    However, the actions of these countries had seriously damaged the order of theary Alliance.


    If every country acted like this, what was the point of fighting against alien civilizations?


    ¡°Remember these few countries and theirmanders on the battlefield,¡± Wu Mo said seriously.


    ¡°Yes, Chief Engineer Wu!¡±


    Everyone present was shocked. They all knew that Wu Mo was really angry.


    He had always been lenient, even if Professor Corrick didn¡¯t apologize immediately.


    Wu Mo had given him enough time, but Wu Mo¡¯s bottom line was not to be crossed.


    On this crucial battlefield, China had used all their skills.


    They brought the most advanced equipment and the toughest young man, and they went to battle without caring about their own safety.


    The other countries acted casually behind the scenes, exposing their location.


    This kind of behavior was likely to drag the entire human race into a bottomless abyss.


    At this moment, the Dark Star ship on the screen reacted.


    It had a precise grasp of the locations of China¡¯s bases on Eternal Sun.


    ¡°Hahaha! I finally found them. Children, charge and blow them all up!¡± A Dark Starling wearing a golden hat sneered.


    It was one of the Five Great Generals of Dark Star. It was a title given to them by the humans. A general couldmand dozens of spaceships.


    Last time, some of its spaceships were destroyed in space.


    It could not ept this fact.


    Thus, it led the most powerful spaceship to personally attack and conquer these few natives.


    However, it did not expect that two ships would be blown up as soon as they approached.


    Thus, it could only carefullymand the remaining eight ships.


    The Dark Starlings had already fully disyed their might.


    Even though China¡¯s base had made them suffer once.


    But now, it seemed that China¡¯s resistance was gradually weakening!

 Chapter 661 - 661 Reinforcements Have Finally Arrived

    661 Reinforcements Have Finally Arrived


    ¡°Mr. Wu, something happened! We¡¯ve already lost eight of our Mountain Sea Spaceships. You have to quickly give us new orders!¡±


    The officer beside him looked terrified. He seemed to be at a loss.


    He hadmanded countless times on the battlefield, but he had never handled such arge-scale space battle.


    If one were to really break it down,nd warfare and space warfare were fundamentally different!


    Wu Mo thought for a while and said firmly, ¡°Pull the Mountain Sea Spaceships and let the battle spaceships fight the enemy head-on.¡±


    ¡°What? Attack head-on? But Mr. Wu, this¡­¡±


    The officer was obviously hesitant when he heard this order.


    He was worried that if there was a head-on conflict, the young Chinese soldiers might be in danger!


    However, he did not expect that once the order was given, all the pilots would undoubtedly express their willingness to obey.


    They promised toplete the mission!


    This kind of lofty determination immediately infected everyone present, causing the officer to be stunned and speechless.


    ¡°I underestimated them too much. These young individuals have more character than I do!¡± the officer said this with shame.


    However, there was no time for him to me himself now.


    The Dark Star spaceship was slowly approaching. China had to react immediately!


    At this critical moment, theary Alliance kept receiving apologetic calls.


    The old chief also made a call.


    Wu Mo only answered the old chief¡¯s call and hung up on the rest.


    ¡°Hello, Chief. Did the leaders of other countries call to apologize?¡± Wu Mo asked.


    The old chief smiled bitterly. ¡°Yes, Wu Mo. They all called to apologize. It seems like they want to atone for their sins and pay the price for their impulsive actions.¡±


    ¡°Atone? Do they think that an apology can make up for their mistakes? They almost ruined all of our ns on Eternal Sun!¡±


    Wu Mo¡¯s tone was extremely cold. He could not easily forgive this kind of thing.


    After the battle ended, he must hold a meeting within theary Alliance and punish those impulsive fellows!


    ¡°Alright, Wu Mo. This time, I¡¯ll let you take fullmand. How confident are you in winning this battle?¡±


    Although the old chief appeared calm, Wu Mo could still hear a hint of nervousness in his voice.


    After all, this was a decisive battle between two civilizations. Who wouldn¡¯t be afraid?


    Moreover, although humans had the advantage in numbers, they were clearly at a disadvantage in terms of technology.


    Did they not see how fierce the counterattack was from the Dark Star spaceship? It forced the humans to retreat step by step.


    Wu Mo was silent for a while before giving a rtively stable number.


    ¡°Seventy percent.¡±


    ¡°Oh, seventy percent sure. That¡¯s not bad¡­¡±


    Hearing this answer, the old chief¡¯s eyes lit up. Then, he hung up the phone and seemed to have calmed down.


    He didn¡¯t know why, but as long as he heard Wu Mo say that he was seventy percent sure, he would believe him unconditionally.


    The battle was dangerous, and the humans were retreating. All thebat spaceships immediately charged forward!


    Every young man in the spaceship was determined and fearless.


    ¡°Destroy them and make sure they never return!¡±


    ¡°Hahaha. Beat them until they flee.¡±


    ¡°Comrades, charge! May we be brothers again in our next life!¡±


    Everyone was roaring and staring at the enemy.


    Everyone tensed up, using all the skills they had honed in the interster war to the extreme.


    After sessfully escaping from the enemy¡¯s detection, heunched a ferocious attack like a leopard. The beam was like a fatal spear that struck the enemy¡¯s starship.


    Suddenly, one of the guards on duty stood up and widened his eyes.


    He saw a terrifying scene:


    ¡°Look! Those two ships are actually hiding in the dark and charging toward us!¡±


    The two ships were already in front of them, but it was toote.


    In the tense atmosphere, a fewmanders quickly found Wu Mo. ¡°Chief Engineer Wu, what should we do?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t panic,¡± Wu Mo replied calmly. ¡°Observe carefully and be ready to support, as well as retreat, at any time.¡±


    Wu Mo¡¯s calmness confused everyone.


    At this moment, the two ships on the screen instantly shot out terrifying purple beams.


    The two Chinese battleships had no time to retreat. They could only face the sudden attack helplessly!


    Bang, bang, bang!


    Explosions rose and fell in the universe. Sparks flew everywhere.


    The two Chinese battleships were like two huge fireballs spinning uncontrobly.


    Everyone in the world was immersed in the grief of this disaster.


    ¡°Sigh. What a pity. We were so close¡­¡±


    Everyone silently mourned. They felt deep sorrow and loss for the Chinese pilots.


    At this moment, Wu Mo, who was sitting in the research center, was expressionless, as if he was not affected by this tragedy.


    While everyone was panicking, the mes around the two battleships that had been destroyed by the rays gradually subsided on screen.


    However, their internal core was still intact. The spaceships were actually retreating at an astonishing speed!


    ¡°Oh, what¡¯s going on?¡±


    Everyone was shocked by this scene. Their hearts were violently shaken!


    ¡°This is impossible! How is this possible?¡±


    Some of the leaders who had made their own decisions saw this scene.


    Their faces instantly turned pale, and their self-confidence was ruthlessly shattered.


    They thought that although their spaceship technology was not as good as China¡¯s, the difference should not be too big.


    But now, it seemed that the Chinese battleship was not destroyed after suffering such a terrifying beam attack!


    This was a humiliation to them!


    Wu Mo knew that it would take ten consecutive shots to destroy a battleship.


    This was also the main reason why Wu Mo felt sorry for the students who had given up halfway in the aerospace school.


    ¡°Heavens, a ship like that is really so sturdy. If we had known earlier, we wouldn¡¯t have quit!¡±


    The students who had previously obtained a spot were all filled with regret.


    They had thought that their seniors would quickly fall in this battle.


    But now that they saw how sturdy the battleship was, their hearts were filled with pain and regret.


    ¡°Haha, we survived. See? We didn¡¯t die!¡±


    Inside the battleship, the four crew members were d that they had escaped death.


    Their hearts were filled with joy.


    This joy turned into their strength, and their killing intent burned again.


    The ship changed direction again andunched a fierce attack at the enemy from a new angle.


    The spaceships were like a herd of beasts flying through the gxy. Like a predator, the Mountain Sea Fleet surrounded the two Dark Star spaceships from afar.


    This kind of narrow road meeting, both sides instantly fell into the endless edge of death.


    On the other side, another six Dark Star spaceships attempted to barge into the battlefield.


    However, the cannons of Eternal Sun had already formed an iron in space, which blocked their path.


    In the mes, the panoramic battlefield was no longer visible.


    At this moment, neither the soldiers on the frontline nor the audience in the distance could appreciate the full picture of the battlefield.


    Their vision was limited, but even if they could see most of the battlefield, it was already a rare reward.


    A group of military fans couldn¡¯t wait to see the spaceship battle in space.

 Chapter 662 We Still Have The Dome Device

    However, the image detected by the ultra-long-range space exploration satellite thousands of kilometers away was somewhat blurry, making people flinch.


    At this moment, not only were the military fans confused, even Wu Mo could not see the real situation in the universe.


    Smoke had already filled the sky, so the sun could not be seen.


    This battle, the collision of two worlds, did not attract much attention.


    This was because people thought that this was a war that was unstoppable.


    However, that was not the case.


    "They think that they can trap us by surrounding us. It''s ridiculous."


    The Dark Star general stood in the cockpit of the spaceship andughed coldly. He was filled with a sense of superiority.


    He looked down on those existences that had not fully evolved. They were like ants.


    Another Dark Starling also sneered. "They think they can trap us. It''s just a the foolish idea in the minds of these simple creatures. Hahaha..."


    Then, the two Dark Star spaceshipsunched a frenzied counterattack.


    Under this crazy firepower, Wu Mo frowned. "This is bad. Their weapon might be a sma st!"


    The officer beside him was shocked. He knew about sma, but what was a sma st?


    After hearing Wu Mo''s warning, they quickly passed down the order and the spaceship''s pilot began to retreat cautiously.


    At this moment, the Mountain Sea Spaceship used its long-range advantage to interfere.


    At the same time, the cannons also formed arge of firepower in an attempt to disrupt the Dark Star spaceship.


    "The sma st is enough to send you to hell!"


    The Dark Starling imitated the humannguage and spoke slowly. Its voice was filled with mockery.


    At this moment, the golden-hatted Dark Starling was watching everything from themand center with a smug expression.


    "Hehe. Exterminate these lowly creatures! Send them to heaven with a sma st!"


    At this moment, a ck beam shot into the sky, and the beams of the two spaceships converged.


    The ck light was as thick as a bucket. It shocked people because it looked like a divine needle falling from the sky.


    Bang!


    One of the Mountain Sea Spaceships couldn''t avoid it.


    It was caught off guard by the direct ray attack. It instantly exploded and turned into endless space junk.


    The surrounding people were bbergasted and speechless for a moment.


    "Unbelievable! Was that a terrifying sma explosion?" they cried out in shock.


    They were dumbfounded.


    The scene before them was undoubtedly more terrifying than they had imagined.


    In the endless universe, there were many types of rays.


    However, the sma explosion was ranked at the top, which showed how terrifying it was.


    Wu Mo was actually a little flustered because everything before their eyes showed that mankind might be facing a huge crisis.


    If they could not protect Eternal Sun, it could bepletely destroyed by the enemy.


    "Prepare for battle!"


    At this moment, Wu Mo''s strict order shocked everyone.


    "God, that''s such a tough order. Someone might die in the uing battle, Mr. Wu!" aresearcher couldn''t help but remind him.


    If they were to use all theirbat spaceships, the enemy''s sma explosion could turn them all into nothingness.


    However, Wu Mo''s eyes shone with determination.


    He had already made up his mind to fight the enemy to the end.


    If they couldn''t stop the enemy ships within two thousand kilometers, they would be able to escape.


    Once the enemy entered the firing range, all the bases on the could be easily destroyed.


    At that time, it was not just one or two people who died.


    "Wait. Why don''t I lure them into the dome and catch them all?"


    Wu Mo suddenly had an idea.


    He was instantly enlightened. A sly smile soon appeared on his face.


    "Uh, you''re smiling. What happened, Mr. Wu?"


    Everyone noticed Wu Mo''s expression. He had gone from nervous to rxed, which made them feel a little strange.


    Wu Mo suddenly announced, "Release the formation and let them in!"


    This order was even more shocking than before.


    People believed that it was better to fight back than to let the enemy attack. This was better than surrendering.


    "Mr. Wu, what do you mean?"


    The group of people almost burst into tears. They could not understand Wu Mo''s intentions at all.


    "We still have the dome device. Have you forgotten?" Wu Mo said indifferently.


    Yes, the dome!


    Suddenly, everyone came to a realization. The smiles on their faces reappeared.


    The protective ability of the dome was enough to withstand any attack from the Dark Starlings.


    Although the Dark Starlings had tried to destroy it, they never seeded.


    Wu Mo had crushed the fifth chip earlier.


    The protective ability of the dome had reached a new level.


    Thus, they werepletely confident that the Dark Star spaceship would not be able to destroy the dome.


    Rumble! Rumble!


    All the battle ships and the Mountain Sea Spaceships slowly retreated and opened up a path.


    This scene brought shock to the six Dark Star spaceships and the two ships that were trapped.


    "What is the meaning of this? How dare these despicable creatures set a trap for us?" aDark Starling immediately questioned in displeasure.


    They also understood that the scene in front of them could be a huge trap.


    If one were to enter it easily, their lives would definitely be in danger!


    Therefore, they did not act rashly. Instead, they chose to wait and see.


    The Dark Starlings were very cautious in their actions, mainly because they were few in number.


    They were unable to send arge number of spaceships over.


    On the battlefield of Dark Star''s home, their human wave tactics were iparably powerful.


    Hundreds of spaceships could be summoned in the blink of eye. Any level of civilization would be reduced to nothingness before them!


    In the homnd of the Dark Starlings, they would use arge number of troops and could send out hundreds of spaceships at once.


    Any level of civilization would be destroyed by them!


    Currently, the few spaceships from Dark Star were slowly advancing.


    The radar scanning system was fully activated. Then, a detailed carpet search was carried out in their surroundings.


    Some of the spaceships from Dark Star were slowly moving. They had activated their radar scanning, so they were carefully scanning their surroundings.


    If there was danger hidden in the dark, they would be the first to discover and avoid it.


    Simply put, if there was anything dangerous around them, they would immediately discover it and avoid it in time.


    "This is wrong! Did these low-level creatures really retreat to the ahead?"


    A Dark Starling reported to the general wearing a golden hat.


    To put it simply, these thirteen Dark Star generals were extremely satisfied with the situation.


    "See, guys! These low-level creatures are afraid of us. They have hidden in their nests. What we need to do next is to blow up their nests along with them!"


    Next, the ships sped up and quickly arrived outside the''s atmosphere.


    It saw the and some faintly visible bases on it.


    The Dark Starlings immediately felt quite satisfied!

 Chapter 663 - 663 Ion Beam Explosion

    663 Ion Beam Explosion


    ¡°Haha, not bad, this barren ball is still here. I remember that a general destroyed it. I didn¡¯t expect civilization to be established again. It seems that this ce is also suitable for our own colony!¡±


    The more it saw, the more satisfied he was. He wished he could just put this into his pocket.


    Then, a few spaceships slowly approached and attempted to pass through the atmosphere.


    At this moment, as the live broadcast progressed, people all over the world were watching nervously.


    ¡°Oh, my God. President Wu, hurry up and act. They¡¯re about to invade Eternal Sun. What are you guys doing?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, we have so many bases on Eternal Sun. What should we do next?¡±


    ¡°Argh! Everyone, stop arguing. Mr. Wu must have a n!¡±


    The crowd was in discussion, and the scene was chaotic.


    Some people felt that Wu Mo might have already given up and that humanity might be heading toward extinction.


    However, more people chose to believe in Wu Mo.


    Based on past experience, everyone knew that Wu Mo could always arrange things well.


    Although the current situation was very unfavorable to the humans, it was very likely that it was Wu Mo¡¯s unique secret manual.


    Finally, these spaceships entered the atmosphere.


    Then, they immediately noticed something unusual.


    ¡°General, what¡¯s going on? Why is there a thinyer of smoke in the air?¡±


    At this moment, the people on the spaceship ahead noticed that something was wrong.


    They could clearly see a very thinyer of haze in front of the probe.


    It formed a mysterious force that blocked their path.


    If only they had received the order from the destroyed Dark Star spaceship in time, they would know that this was a very powerful defensive device.


    Unfortunately, before the Dark Star people were destroyed, they did not have the time to send a message back.


    ¡°Let¡¯s test the waters with a cannonball first and see what the situation is like.¡±


    Following that, a Dark Star spaceship casually fired a cannon!


    Although it was just an ordinary cannonball, it was much more powerful than the cannonballs in the human world.


    Bang!


    When the cannon shot across the sky, bright fireworks exploded in the air and quickly burned on the canvas of the universe.


    Its scorching power reached thousands of kilometers away.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    This violent scene caused all the Dark Starlings to feel as if they had been struck by lightning. They were extremely shocked.


    However, for humans, this was a wonderful scene. Laughter andughter spread among the crowd.


    ¡°Haha, did you see the stunned looks on those Dark Starlings¡¯ faces? I could clearly see the horrified expressions on their faces!¡±


    At this moment, there was a slight ripple above the dome.


    Like ripples on the surface of ake that were blown by the wind, they gradually spread out in all directions.


    However, the expected damage did not ur.


    The dome was still intact as if nothing had happened.


    The Dark Star fleet fell into a deathly silence. Then, one of them said, ¡°General, I think they have a powerful defense mechanism that can withstand our artillery.¡±


    The general was extremely angry after hearing this. It gritted its teeth. Itsughter was filled with resentment and helplessness.


    ¡°Next¡­ let¡¯s use the Destruction Ray topletely prate their protective shield!¡±


    Upon hearing the general¡¯s order, a Dark Starling immediately activated a button.


    Immediately after, the ck spaceship shot out an extremely terrifying ray.


    This ray was originally developed to invade low-leveled civilizations. Any ordinary that was hit by it would have a huge crater.


    They believed that the beam could also destroy the dome of the.


    The terrifying rays that the low-leveled civilizations could not resist had be their most powerful weapon at this moment.


    At this moment, everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on Wu Mo.


    The dome was still an unknown to them. Wu Mo¡¯s expression seemed to be the only clue they could rely on.


    Wu Mo pondered for a moment and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, everyone. Even if the sma beam explodes, it won¡¯t be able to destroy the dome device. You can rest assured and prepare for the counterattack.¡±


    Hearing Wu Mo¡¯s words, although everyone was overjoyed, they were also full of doubts.


    Was the dome really that powerful?


    Even the sma beam explosion couldn¡¯t prate it?


    What they didn¡¯t know was that after Wu Mo integrated the fifth chip into the dome, the dome¡¯s defensive capabilities had reached a terrifying new high.


    Wu Mo couldn¡¯t describe it in detail, but he was confident in the dome¡¯s defensive capabilities.


    ording to the system¡¯s introduction, the defensive power of the five fused chips could only cause a destructive blow to it unless it was the top-notch power of a Level 2 civilization.


    In other words, even if Dark Star were to advance to a Level 2 civilization, they would still need to reach a certain level in the development process of a level 2 civilization before they would have the technology to destroy this protective device.


    Therefore, it was still very far from that moment.


    Even if Fita was resurrected and Dark Star was added, it would still be impossible to defeat the dome device.


    Perhaps only the distant Motoro had a glimmer of hope.


    However, Wu Mo knew nothing about Motoro, and the current human reconnaissance methods were unable to obtain more information.


    Therefore, no one knew the level of the.


    Wu Mo only knew that the alien life form on that was a kind of creature simr to a sea monster.


    However, those sea monsters were just ordinary residents on that.


    There were also some mutated products that needed to be further explored and understood by humans.


    When the destructive beam passed through, it seemed to have prated the entire dome.


    However, once the people carefully opened their eyes, they werepletely stunned¡­


    The live broadcast audience in front of the camera winked as they watched.


    He even felt a sense of fear and did not dare to look at the scene that was about to happen.


    They were doubtfully wondering if their thousands ofpatriots would be instantly wiped out after the dome was destroyed.


    Those were all livingpatriots. Some of the timid people were so scared that they turned off the live broadcast and did not dare to watch anymore.


    They felt their breathing be heavy as if their hearts were beating faster.


    However, in the next second.


    Those bold people saw it clearly.


    Even though the dome had experienced a violent vibration.


    However, it was still steadily floating in the air. It formed a semi-circr protective shield that firmly protected the entire base.


    ¡°Oh, my God. This is¡­ The dome is so magical!¡±


    At this moment, someone couldn¡¯t help but exim. Those who had missed this scene before were now filled with regret.


    ¡°What? The dome is actually strong. I want to see it¡­¡±


    When everyone clearly saw that the dome device had sessfully blocked the destructive ray attack, they were so shocked that they could not speak.


    However, some people were still crying¡­

 Chapter 664 - 664 There’s Someone Traitorous

    664 There¡¯s Someone Traitorous


    Those people either offended Wu Mo or lost the election.


    By the time they were discovered by Dark Star¡¯s spaceships, it was already toote.


    ¡°D*mn it! Quick! Call China¡¯s base immediately and ask them to extend the dome to include us!¡±


    Some people from other countries were on the verge of tears.


    If they didn¡¯t do that, the base they had built before would bepletely destroyed.


    You have to know that those bases have already spent hundreds of trillions.


    If it was destroyed, these small countries would definitely be heartbroken.


    However, Wu Mo was powerless at this moment.


    ¡± I¡¯m sorry, everyone,¡± he said patiently.¡± It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to help, but the dome has reached its limit. It can¡¯t be extended any further.¡±¡±


    Upon hearing such a reply, the leaders of every country looked desperate.


    They could only watch helplessly as their bases on Eternal Sun were found by the spacehips from Dark Star.


    ¡°What is it? There were actually so many bases that had not been covered by this device. He would capture a few people and ask them first!¡±


    At this moment, the Dark Starlings on the spaceships immediately issued an order.


    Then, theyunched a fierce attack on these bases.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The people in the base fled frantically.


    Some of them managed to escape, but some were directly killed by the terrifying rays.


    The eyes of the people from those countries were filled with blood-red anger.


    At this moment, the countries that had previously offended China felt endless regret.


    They thought how blissful it would be to be protected by the dome.


    Fortunately, he was willing to spend a lot of money to buy a spot and did not offend China or that terrifying President Wu.


    On the live broadcast screen, after the spaceship from Dark Star destroyed the entire base outside the instation, it captured a few people and brought them over.


    ¡°Spare me, alien. Spare me¡­¡±


    Some of them had no backbone at all and directly began to beg the Dark Starlings.


    The people in their country were so angry that their noses were crooked.


    ¡°D*mn traitor. Such a person should be executed immediately!¡±


    There was an uproar on the bullet screen.


    However, there was a voice that believed that the preservation of life was paramount.


    No matter when or where, the desire to survive was always the most basic instinct of humans.


    The starships of the Dark Star Race were using the decipherednguage system to question their captives.


    ¡°What the hell is this defense system? Who created it?¡±


    The members of the Dark Star Race asked slowly.


    These captured Earthlings didn¡¯t have the courage to lie to them.


    They could only tell the truth,¡± This equipment that we call the ¡®dome device¡¯ was designed by our chief designer, Wu Mo.¡±


    ¡°Hmm, the dome? What do you mean by ¡®we¡¯?¡±


    The Dark Star people seemed to know nothing about the human.


    However, when this Earthling revealed this secret, everyone remembered this information as if they had been struck by lightning.


    At the same time, the audience in the live broadcast room was in an uproar!


    ¡°This bastard! When hees back, I¡¯ll definitely kill him myself!¡±


    ¡°Haha! Do you really think he cane back? He would probably be killed by the Dark Star people soon, right?¡±


    ¡°We¡¯re finished! This guy sold out all of us humans. What should we do next?¡±


    ¡°We have to find him and see if his family still has the face to live in our country.¡±


    At this moment, everyone realized that this person might have pushed the entire human race into the abyss.


    Therefore, Wu Mo¡¯s reaction became the topic of concern.


    Then, the Darkstar slowly turned his head around¡­


    Wu Mo could sense that as the Darkstar turned his head.


    He might have learned a lot of key information from the captured Earthlings, including the possibility that he was being monitored by a space camera.


    Therefore, he probably turned around to look for the camera and convey some information.


    As expected, the Dark Star people had urately found this miniature camera.


    Then, he revealed a strange smile.


    He said,¡±You Earthlings are really smart to design such a device. I want to bet with you now! If we can¡¯t crack this device within an hour, we¡¯ll retreat and never disturb your low-leveled civilization!¡±


    As soon as these words were said, the human world was instantly ignited with the fire of hope.


    Everyone understood that if the Dark Star people were unable to crack the dome device within an hour.


    They could continue to survive.


    They could even continue to develop the without worrying about the interference of extraterrestrial creatures.


    Wu Mo onlyughed coldly and bitterly.¡±The power is in your hands.¡±


    His heart was filled with helplessness.


    They had super battle ships and the Mountain Sea Fleet, and they could form a powerful of firepower to fight against the Dark Star spaceships.


    However, if the main forces of Dark Star attacked, they would definitely not be able to resist.


    He thought to himself, ¡®We must develop more types of spaceships as soon as possible and increase the number of them. Only then can we increase our strength¡­¡¯


    Wu Mo had already made his decision, and the follow-up work would revolve around this goal.


    At this moment, the Dark Starling said,¡±If we can break this device in an hour, then everyone on your and this will be our natives. You must release your spirit energy for our research.¡±


    What? They actually made such a request?


    Hearing this news, everyone in the live broadcast room expressed their doubts and typed a series of question marks.


    ¡°The inner strength of a person¡­I suddenly understood. I had heard before that the most precious asset of us humans is our inner spiritual power. This is our unique advantage among all living beings in the universe.¡±


    Once people realized this, they would understand why the Dark Starlings were so crazy about mastering this power.


    Mind power was like a mysterious fog. One could not truly understand it without touching it.


    Wu Mo also frowned slightly, as if he had seen a vague path that pointed to the future.


    Immediately after, the game between the Dark Star people and the humans began.


    Whether or not the dome could be cracked within two hours became the question that everyone was most concerned about.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    First, a wave of destructive ray attacks was like an earth-shattering storm.


    The dome shook violently under the attack.


    In the next moment, it seemed to bepletely destroyed.


    However, there was something worth mentioning.


    After the storm-like attack, although the dome was distorted, the degree of distortion was shocking.


    However, it held on firmly and was not broken!

 Chapter 665 The Immovable Dome Device

    "The dome is hardcore!" someone in the live chat praised.


    Following that, thements in the live chat flowed in like a tide. Everyone was moved to tears.


    Wu Mo saw that the dome device remained resilient under the powerful alien civilization''s attack. His eyes glistened with tears.


    He could not help it. The scene before him was too moving!


    Everyone on the base looked up at the sky. The dome was a ray of light that protected humanity and its honor.


    On the outside, the aliens were extremely arrogant. They attacked the device fiercely in an attempt to destroy the human base.


    It was extremely intense, so everyone was shaken!


    "Mr. Wu, can the dome block the sma beam explosion?"


    At this moment, many were eagerly asking Wu Mo questions.


    "Don''t worry!" Wu Mo replied confidently. "It can''t destroy the dome. You can rest assured!"


    Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they heard Wu Mo''s answer.


    They knew that as long as Wu Mo was sure, they could all have some peace of mind.


    Nevertheless, they still looked forward to seeing if the dome was as tough as Wu Mo had said.


    Some of them used to be hostile toward China.


    They were cynics who had openly imed that the dome would bepletely destroyed and that everyone on the base was in danger.


    Right now, everyone was keen on learning the truth!


    The sma beam slowly shot out and condensed into a huge ck energy ball. It then exploded violently near the dome device.


    Everyone held their breaths and stared at the dome.


    "Oh, my God! Please don''t copse. You have to stay strong¡­"


    Everyone in China and even the entire world prayed in their hearts.


    Their prayers seemed to turn into an invisible force that poured into the dome.


    Rumble!


    Although the explosion was thousands of miles away, it sounded like it was right beside their ears.


    As everyone looked at the big screen, the image turned white!


    It was pure white. All the other colors and objects had disappeared. It was as if the screen was covered in snow due to a malfunction.


    However, everyone knew that the high-heat explosion caused this.


    Everything went dark, and the air was instantly vaporized.


    After an unknown period of time, light returned.


    Everyone could see that the dome was still standing firm. It continued to protect their baseslike an invincible god of war.


    It stood on the front line and blocked the invaders from Dark Star.


    Every Dark Starling gasped because they were unable to ept the scene before them.


    "How is this possible?" they eximed.


    As if bewitched, they stared at the whole thing in confusion and shook their heads.


    The Dark Star general wearing a golden hat was even more shocked.


    After all, it knew that the sma beam explosion was one of the most powerful attacks on their.


    Yet, the sma beam did not leave any marks on the protective device.


    It was unbelievable.


    "Impossible!" The Dark Star general was immediately in denial.


    It coul not ept the truth. The only exnation was that the sma beam explosion was not powerful enough.


    Therefore, he decided tounch a series of attacks to destroy the protective device!


    "I refuse to believe that our sma beam can''t break the device of such primitive creatures!"


    After he gave the order, several spaceships fired ck sma beams at the same time.


    However, their attacks were scattered and not focused on one point.


    Each sma beam came from a different angle with different strength and speed. They were trying to shatter the protective device.


    "Look! Another round of attacks. These guys are crazy!"


    Everyone eximed.


    Wu Mo was in themand center, so he noticed everything.


    However, he was unusually calm. A confident smile even appeared on his face.


    Everyone was surprised to see Wu Mo smiling, but they seemed to calm down after that.


    Meanwhile, the intense sma beams bombarded the protective device like a pair of invisible giant hands.


    It tore at the transparentyer as if it wanted to tear it in half.


    Right then, everyone heard a crisp cracking sound. They stared at the screen in disbelief.


    Had the sma beam explosions finally destroyed the protective dome?


    Only Wu Mo knew that the sound was not caused by the destruction of the protective device, but by something else.


    It turned out that when the sma beams exploded, the protective device remained intact.


    However, the mountains and geographical objects around the protective device werepletely destroyed by the tremors. They turned into powder.


    Therefore, the sound was actually their wails and not the sound of the protective device cracking.


    After a round of fierce attacks, all the Dark Star spaceships floated silently in the air.


    "The protective device is still intact. How should we deal with it?"


    At this moment, there was a hint of panic in the voices of the Dark Starlings.


    They had exhausted all their strength, but they were still unable to destroy that terrifying protective device. What was going on?


    The tall general was also speechless. It did not expect that even such an attack could not destroy the protective device.


    Was it going to return empty-handed?


    It was unwilling to give up, so it ordered a few more rounds of destructive bombardment.


    Each time the sma beam burst was fired, it would consume arge amount of energy.


    This was nothing to the highly developed Dark Starlings.


    However, long-term attacks would cause damage to the ship''s main body.


    After a few rounds of attacks, the protective device was still intact.


    The tall Dark Star general decided to retreat.


    The general in golden armor waved its hand with an unwilling expression and ordered, "Retreat and patrol the nearby ten light-years to see if we can find others."


    "Yes, General!"


    As the order was given, the eight spacecraft slowly rose into the sky and began their mission to evacuate Eternal Sun.


    "Haha, we did it! Those guys fled!"


    "Seeing them run away, they are simply intimidated by our divine power!"


    "China is really powerful, truly domineering! It''s China who gave us strength!"


    Countless spectators cheered. The evacuation of the eight Dark Star spaceships was a huge victory and encouragement in their eyes.


    At this moment, people truly believed that mankind''s technological prowess could also contend against Dark Star!


    However, at this moment, a piece of shocking news came from China.


    Wu Mo had already decided to attack these 8 ships!


    "What is it? China''s Chief Wu actually wanted these eight spaceships to stay on Eternal Sun and not allow them to leave?"


    After the news spread, everyone was stunned.


    They widened their eyes as they watched the eight spaceships slowly take off on the screen.


    What methods did China have to make them stay here forever?

 Chapter 666 - 666 They Have a Ring Annihilation Ray

    666 They Have a Ring Annihtion Ray


    They couldn¡¯t understand it. If someone else said that, everyone would definitelyugh out loud.


    This was the recognition of China¡¯s progress, and at the same time, the trust they had in Wu Mo!


    In themand center, Wu Mo was expressionless.


    He had made his decision a long time ago. Now was the time to act.


    ¡°Follow my orders and evacuate all the base personnel to the shelter. There will be a thrilling battle!¡±


    After hearing Wu Mo¡¯s order, all the people on Eternal Sun quickly moved to the shelter.


    Immediately after, Wu Mo activated the dome¡¯s active attack system through the operating system.


    After the fusion of the five chips, the attack system of this dome device was already very powerful.


    Its offensive power and defensive power wereparable.


    This was also the first time Wu Mo had activated the attack system. He did not know what kind of shocking effect it would produce.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Following Wu Mo¡¯s operation, the dome on the big screen seemed to glow with new life, turning into a green light.


    ¡°Hmph, what¡¯s going on? The shield of this low-level civilization seemed to have changed?¡±


    Right at this moment, all the Dark Starlings in the eight spaceships that were about to leave were confused.


    A hint of greed shed in the eyes of themander in golden armor, as if he wanted to seize this opportunity to counterattack!


    ¡°Let¡¯s observe first before taking action. They might be up to something!¡±


    Even so, this Dark Starmander was still extremely cautious.


    Under everyone¡¯s watchful eyes, the green light on the dome suddenly formed several bumps, looking very strange.


    While everyone was still guessing what it was.


    Wu Mo operated the device again and activated the active attack!


    The green bulges instantly broke away from the shield and pounced towards the spaceship like ferocious beasts.


    All the Dark Starlings were shocked.


    Immediately after, the green light was like a destructive bolt of lightning that violently struck their spaceship.


    At this moment, everyone¡¯s eyes widened.


    He wanted to see what kind of result this earth-shattering attack would bring.


    Rumble!


    Although the sound of the explosion was not as deafening as before, it was enough to shock people.


    The destructive power of this disaster was not only iparable, but it had even surpassed all imagination!


    One only needed to take a nce to see that after being struck by the green light, several Dark Star spaceships had lost their sense of direction.


    Like a headless fly, it spun in the air and then mercilessly smashed into the ground.


    Although they were trying their best to control their spaceship in midair, this scene shocked everyone.


    Then, people around the world began to understand that the dome not only had a super strong defense system, but its attack method was direct and extremely rough.


    The green light it emitted was actuallyparable to the power of a sma beam explosion.


    ¡°What the hell is this? Could it be that we¡¯ve encountered creatures from a low-leveled civilization?¡±


    At this moment, the Dark Star general wearing a golden hat in the spaceship was extremely furious.


    It roared crazily, powerless and angry, but helpless.


    ¡°General, these are indeed creatures of a low-leveled civilization. However, we don¡¯t know how they mastered such terrifying rays.¡±


    Although the Dark Starlings could not immediately analyze the reason, they clearly felt that the power of this ray was even more terrifying than a sma explosion.


    It came from a weapon known as the Ring Annihtion Ray.


    The Ring Annihtion Ray could also be created on their home.


    However, the power of this ray could be ranked in the top five, and it was even more powerful than a sma beam explosion.


    ¡°Impossible! How could there be a Ring Annihtion Ray? This was only the territory of low-leveled creatures. How could theye into contact with something so advanced?¡±


    At this moment, whether it was the general or its soldiers, everyone felt that this was extremely absurd.


    Who would believe this?


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about that. Let¡¯s quickly evacuate this area and stay away from the range of the Ring Annihtion Ray!¡±


    At this time, the eight spaceships slowly adjusted their direction and continued to rise into the sky.


    They activated their eleration mode and their speed soared to twice the speed of light!


    Unfortunately, Wu Mo was determined not to let them escape.


    ¡°Feel the final attack power of the dome device!¡±


    Wu Mo sneered and pressed a button in the system.


    At this moment, the dome device seemed to have gone berserk!


    Rumble¡­


    A destructive vortex was formed on the dome.


    They released a terrifying suction force.


    It was like a super high-powered hair dryer spinning crazily in different directions!


    Then, like a range hood, they sucked in all the surrounding aura!


    At the same time, the eight Dark Star spaceships that were travelling at twice the speed of light were also suppressed by this terrifying power.


    Their speed began to slow down.


    Then, it became as slow as a turtle and began to retreat, flying towards the huge vortex!


    ¡°What is this?¡±


    At this moment, all the Dark Starlings in the spaceship were in despair.


    First, it encountered the terrifying Ring Annihtion Ray, and then it encountered this destructive suction force.


    Was this really a low-level civilization?


    Everyone was suspicious!


    At this moment, the Dark Star general had no other choice but to press a button in an attempt to save itself!


    ¡°Whoosh¡­¡±


    With a loud sound, the inner cabin of the huge spaceship suddenly opened.


    Mechanical dogs walked out one after another, making people feel shocked and deeply uneasy.


    ¡°Look at that!¡±


    When Wu Mo and his team saw these mechanical dogs, they were shocked.


    They were shocked. They had never expected that there would be so many mechanical dogs hidden in the Dark Star spaceship.


    ¡°Could these mechanical dogs be the weapons of the extraterrestrial creatures?¡±


    At this moment, a muscr officer beside him couldn¡¯t help but exim.


    Wu Mo carefully observed these mechanical dogs. He discovered that their walking patterns were very consistent. It was very likely that they were under themand of the Dark Star general.


    ¡°Everyone, be alert. These mechanical dogs are definitely not simple. We must be careful!¡±


    Wu Mo urgently informed the Mountain Sea Fleet on the front line to prepare to kill these mechanical dogs.


    On the screen, these mechanical dogs had already gathered and charged forward.


    Then, they began to spin crazily.


    Every joint and every screw disyed astonishing power. His body expanded to at least five times its original size.


    ¡°Oh my god, they¡¯ve changed?¡±


    At this moment, everyone eximed when they saw this scene.


    That¡¯s right, these mechanical dogs could actually transform and be so huge!


    Then, the mechanical dogs formed a team of ferocious beasts and pounced towards the base in the distance. Their powerful aura was terrifying.


    Weng weng weng weng¡­


    These mechanical dogs let out terrifying sounds. They were like crazy beasts, biting and shattering the dome.


    However, the dome was extremely sturdy, and these mechanical dogs could not destroy it at all.


    ¡°Haha, who do they think they are? How could they destroy our dome!¡±


    In the research center, some researchersughed.

 Chapter 667 - 667 Mech Attack

    667 Mech Attack


    They had already tested the dome¡¯s defense.


    In other words, there was no power on the entire that could destroy this device, but this device could withstand it.


    On the main spaceship, the Dark Star general with the golden hat said coldly, ¡°Kill all the living beings on this!¡±


    Its eyes were filled with killing intent. At this moment, the eight spaceships were forced tond and stab their huge ws into the ground to resist the dome¡¯s terrifying power.


    ¡°Mr. Wu Mo, what should we do now?¡± amander asked Wu Mo anxiously.


    Wu Mo looked ahead expressionlessly and sneered. ¡°Even if they be bigger, they are still dogs. To deal with dogs, we beed to have the determination to fight!¡±


    His words made everyone in themand roomugh.


    Yes, this logic seemed to make sense.


    Wu Mo could always say such powerful words, which made people feel more confident and rxed after listening to him.


    ¡°Next, let our superweapons deal with them!¡±


    Wu Mo decided on a new n.


    In thergestbat spaceship, the bottom of the mothership opened, and mechs began to walk out slowly.


    ¡°Wow, a mech! They¡¯re still alive!¡±


    ¡°What are you talking about? How can the mechs die? They¡¯ve just been ced in the warehouse!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s really moving. When I think of the days when the mecha protected us against the sea monsters, my heart is iparably excited!¡±


    Wu Mo clearly knew that even though times were changing, he was still in a state of shock.


    However, the Mech Training Academy had always been quietly providing well-trained mech pilots to human society.


    However, the wheel of time was rolling forward, and there was no longer a need for so many mecha pilots!


    Because the sea monsters have beenpletely eradicated by us humans, the mechas seem to have temporarily lost their use.


    However, with the arrival of a new era, mechas had once again returned to their gloriousnd.


    And next, they had to pay more attention to improving the quality of the mech academy and the Spaceship Training Academy.


    A muscr officer beside him couldn¡¯t help but ask curiously.


    He carefully sized up these mechs and realized that these mechs looked very unfamiliar. They werepletely different from the mechs he was familiar with in the past!


    Wu Mo nodded slightly and replied,¡± Yes, I modified the design of the mech to make them smaller so that they can be stored inrge quantities inside the spaceship. Moreover, although these mechs are smaller, they¡¯re more agile!¡±


    After saying that, he let everyone present deeply feel the meaning of his words.


    They saw that these mechs had suddenly left the range of the protective shield on their own and started an intense battle with those giant robot dogs!


    ¡°Oh, my God. The mechs and the robot dog are fighting!¡±


    Everyone opened their eyes wide, afraid to miss any exciting moment.


    In an instant, the mechs were controlled by their pilots to move quickly and nimbly. The des on their arms fell down ruthlessly, directly chopping off the robot dog¡¯s head.


    ¡°How could this be? This backward civilization actually had such a powerful weapon of war?¡±


    When the Dark Starlings saw the appearance of the mechs, they werepletely shocked.


    They had never thought that humans would have such a weapon that surpassed their civilization.


    Although the mech looked simple, its internal structure was actually extremely precise.


    Especially the advanced mechs designed by Wu Mo, which could be controlled through thought synchronization. They were even more agile and flexible!


    Moreover, not only were they fast, but their attacks were also very powerful.


    The only thingcking was that its defense was slightly weaker than before.


    However, this was not important. He just had to move forward fearlessly and kill all these robot dogs!


    There were more than ten robot dogs at the scene.


    After one was killed, the rest of the robot dogs rushed towards the hole in the protective shield.


    Due to the appearance of the mechs, a small hole was temporarily opened in the protective shield!


    These robot dogs thought that they could do whatever they wanted after they charged in. They did not expect the mechs before them to charge at them in unison.


    Facing a group of mechs, the robot dogs were almost unable to retaliate.


    Although the robot dogs wanted to fight with the mechs, it seemed that the two were onpletely different levels!


    A robot dog¡¯s bite was strong, and its body could release the power of mes.


    Although the robot dogs had strong bite force, they could not bite the mechs at all. So what was the use of their powerful strength?


    The mechs were too agile, and the robot dogs could not even touch them!


    At this moment, all the viewers in the live broadcast room were emotional.


    To be able to see such a powerful mech made everyone feel iparably proud.


    ¡°Look at this. It¡¯s the innovative design of our great China¡¯s Chief Engineer Wu. Can your country design something like this?¡±


    At this moment, the Chinese audience felt a sense of pride that they had never felt before.


    He had never felt this way before when he fought the sea monster.


    They reflected on it and realized that no matter how strong the sea monsters were, they were only products of Earth.


    But now, the enemy came from the vast universe.


    Thus, all of mankind united.


    Due to China¡¯s outstanding performance, they felt very proud. This was also natural.


    Wu Mo was looking at the screen, his calm and confident gaze as if he had a ticket to victory.


    He suddenly said, ¡°Tell all the pilots to stop messing around and destroy all the robot dogs.¡±


    Everyone was shocked by this order.


    They were surprised that Chief Engineer Wu actually said that the pilots were just ying.


    He thought about how he could easily suppress his opponent even if he was ying.


    If they were to get serious, wouldn¡¯t the other party be even more powerless?


    Wu Mo could tell that the pilots were indeed a little mischievous.


    After all, it was their first time fighting, and their opponents were just these harmless robot dogs, so they took advantage of the opportunity to y with their opponents.


    When Mr. Wu¡¯s instructions came, everyone did not dare to underestimate him and immediately put their hearts into it.


    Several mechs charged forward like hooligans, killing in all directions.


    After a few rounds, the robot dogs were all caught in one fell swoop.


    Then, the robot dog turned into a pile of parts. Sparks flew in all directions, and after a spasm, it stopped moving.


    ¡°Heavens, how could this happen?¡±


    The Dark Star general was filled with rage.


    They originally liked to use these robot dogs for closebat.


    It did not expect that this so-called low-level civilization would actually have super weapons like mechs.


    ¡°General, don¡¯t we have a mech too? Send it out. There¡¯s no other way now anyway,¡± a subordinate suggested.


    The Dark Star general sighed and agreed to its suggestion.


    ¡°Alright. We¡¯ll do as you say!¡±


    Even though their mech was not advanced and only a very basicbat mech, there was nothing they could do at the moment. They could not fight with their own weapons.


    They could only hope that this mech could block the firepower while they searched for a chance to escape from this.


    They no longer wanted to upy this. It was already good enough that they could escape.

 Chapter 668 - 668 An Outdated Antique Mech

    668 An Outdated Antique Mech


    They did not expect to encounter such a situation when they arrived.


    Other than having powerful defensive facilities, these low-leveled civilizations also had such terrifying war weapons.


    All of this had far exceeded their expectations.


    The Dark Starlings felt that the civilization on this was already close to Level 3.


    It was just that their logistics and construction standards had not caught up.


    However, once they made a breakthrough in their technology, it would only be a matter of time before they truly became a Level 3 civilization.


    At this moment, everyone was watching. They wanted to know what other life-saving methods the Dark Star spaceship had.


    This was because they knew that after the robot dog was killed, the other party would definitely not admit defeat easily.


    Sure enough, Wu Mo saw what he wanted to see¡ªa mech walked out of the spaceship.


    Seeing this mech, the audience from all over the world was excited.


    ¡°No way, they actually have armored fighters? It seemed that armored fighter jets were the standard equipment in the entire universe, right?¡±


    They began to suspect that the armored fighter jet might be a universal product.


    In other words, in every, in every civilization.


    It seemed that they could create armored fighters. Otherwise, how could this coincidence be exined? Moreover, in those ruins of civilization.


    Some archaeologists discovered that there were some parts simr to armored fighter jets underground on Eternal Sun.


    At first, everyone was not sure. They thought that it might be something else.


    However, everyone now felt that it was part of the armored fighter!


    Based on this spection, no matter which civilization developed to a certain extent.


    They would all develop war equipment simr to armored fighter jets.


    When Dark Star¡¯s armored fighter aircraft appeared.


    Everyone started to get nervous!


    Everyone wanted to see thebat ability of this armored fighter jet.


    Then, the armored fighter aircraft slowly began to operate, making a scraping sound that immediately caused everyone tough.


    Even the officer beside Wu Mo couldn¡¯t help but speak up.


    ¡°Mr. Wu Mo, what do you think of the power of this armored fighter jet?¡±


    Wu Mo shook his head lightly and gave a very practical opinion.


    ¡°The power of this armored fighter is too low. I guess it has been umting dust for many years. In our words¡­ It was like an outdated antique!¡±


    ¡°Haha, antique, this description is too realistic!¡±


    Everyone burst intoughter.


    That¡¯s right, as Wu Mo said, this was an antique.


    However, this was an antique from a Level 3 civilization. It was definitely not to be underestimated.


    Now, the Dark Star general waved itsrge hand, and the armored fighter jet slowly walked out.


    It took the initiative to attack therge group of Chinese armored fighters at the front.


    These Chinese armored fighter jets were even smaller, their height was only about the chest height of the Dark Star armored fighter jet.


    But even so, they were numerous and very agile. The situation was still very optimistic!


    Suddenly, one of the armored fighter jets leaped over.


    The de in its hand heavily shed at Dark Star¡¯s armored fighter jet!


    However, the shoulder of thisrge armored fighter jet was extremely hard. It exploded with a crisp sound, but it still stood firm.


    Right at this moment, Dark Star¡¯s armored fighter jet swung its fist forward.


    The punchnded heavily on the smaller armored fighter jet!


    With a loud boom, the Chinese armored fighter jet was sent flying and crashed into the distance. It did not get up for a long time.


    This meant that its internal control system had beenpletely destroyed to a certain extent!


    ¡°How is that possible? Destroying an armored fighter with one punch?!¡±


    This scene left everyone dumbstruck.


    None of them had expected that this antique armored fighter jet from Dark Star would be able to fly.


    Although it looked old, its power was still extremely powerful.


    ¡°Oh, my God, how strong is this armored fighter jet? At its peak, one of them could defeat ten of them!¡±


    At this moment, amander beside him could not help but sigh.


    When this sentence reached Wu Mo¡¯s ears, he had no choice but to nod and admit that Dark Star¡¯s armored fighter jet was really tough.


    This armored fighter aircraft might not have much advanced technology.


    However, its overall structure and hardness were like an indestructible iron ball. There were no shorings and it was very durable!


    ¡°Everyone, attack! I want to see how it breaks!¡±


    At this moment, Wu Mo¡¯s eyes were as cold as ice as he mercilessly gave the order.


    You¡¯re strong?


    Let¡¯s see how you deal with it!


    Right now, in the desert, the people in the base on the entire Sun were watching everything through the dome device.


    Opposite them were eight Dark Star spaceships parked at the edge of the desert.


    The gazes of the people from Dark Star were all focused on this ce, but they could not conceal the agitation of their nervous emotions.


    However¡­


    On the other side of the live stream, the audience was even more focused. They were not even willing to blink their eyes, afraid that they would miss any details.


    It could be said that the living beings of both civilizations were focused on the same scene, waiting for the sh between the mechs to see what the oue would be.


    Bang bang bang!


    In an instant, the Dark Star¡¯s ancient mechunched a fierce attack. It was like a storm that knocked back the Chinese mechs.


    The powerful force made everyone dumbfounded.


    ¡°This, how is this possible? Their mech is so powerful?¡±


    Amidst the shock, the audience sighed.


    Within the mech academy, the teachers and students were even more shocked. Their faces were as white as paper.


    However, despite the unfavorable situation, the pilots in the mechs were still safe and sound.


    After all, the cockpit¡¯s protection technology had reached the highest level.


    Even if the mechs were to suffer a strong blow, they would still be safe and unharmed.


    At this moment, Wu Mo¡¯s eyes narrowed. He had already seen the reason why the opponent¡¯s mech was so powerful.


    It was because of the two powerful energy modules on its shoulders.


    ¡°Hey, did you see that? This is their secret.¡±


    Wu Mo smiled and immediately gave the order to the team.


    He told them the weaknesses of the opponent¡¯s mech.


    The team members who heard themand came to a realization.


    It turned out that they had been unable to win because the other party had such advanced technology.


    One of the battle team members controlled his mech and slowly stood up.


    His aura changed in an instant, as if he had transformed into a war god.


    ¡°Haha. Let¡¯s do this again. Watch how I dismantle you.¡±


    The young man¡¯s eyes were filled with the fervor of battle.


    Then, his mech charged at the enemy like a ferocious tiger.


    At this moment, the other mech pilots were still trying their best to recover, but only this young man¡¯s mech was ready for battle.


    Seeing this, themander issued an emergency retreat order.


    However, it was already toote. His mech had already charged forward.


    The officers watching the battle could only shake their heads and sigh.


    They believed that this young man¡¯s mech would be destroyed by the big antique in a matter of minutes.


    As expected, when the Dark Starlings saw this scene.


    A cruel smile appeared on their faces.


    Their general gave the order, and the big antique stepped forward.

 Chapter 669 Capturing Aliens

    Its two fists crashed down like andslide. The scene was so terrifying that even the mountains were trembling.


    All of a sudden, everyone realized that the young man''s mech had disappeared. His huge fists had only smashed onto the ground.


    At this moment, a sharp-eyed audience member pointed at the big antique in the distance.


    The young man''s mech had already quietly appeared behind it.


    "Oh. no! How could this be? Quickly turn him over and smash him!"


    The Dark Star general immediately issued an order. It spoke quickly and seemed to be somewhat anxious.


    At this moment, the huge ancient mech began to turn around. It waved its huge fist and smashed it toward them.


    However, the speed at which it turned around seemed to be a little slow¡­


    Actually, it was not really slow. Its body was just too big.


    Therefore,pared to those small-scale mechs, it was slightly slower.


    However, when two top-notch warriors were fighting, a slight difference in speed could determine victory or defeat!


    Boom!


    Under the pilot''s precise control, the small mech suddenly extended an extremely sharp metal de from its hand.


    It stabbed into the big guy''s shoulder.


    With a violent vibration, one of the hooks was finally cut off!


    A cracking sound rang out as the buckle broke.


    The huge ancient Mech immediately lost its bnce and fell to the side!


    With such a tilt, its fist missed the small mech.


    "Haha! I''ve seeded! The buckle has been cut off. Let''s see how you recover?"


    In themand room, Wu Mo was very satisfied.


    He knew that this seemingly mighty ancient mech was actually supported by those two sturdy sps.


    Now, the situation had taken a turn for the worse. It was time for China tounch a counterattack!


    "All mechs, listen up! Turn this ancient giant into a pile of scrap metal!"


    Wu Mo heard the Dark Star general''s voice, so he responded with the same words.


    When the Dark Star general heard Wu Mo''s reply, it got so angry that it almost spat out blood!


    It immediately realized that things were not looking good because the other party had actually seen through one of their mech''s ingenious designs.


    "Quick, quick, quick! Hurry back to the cockpit!"


    To them, this ancient mech was extremely important.


    If they lost it, all of them would feel heartache.


    Unfortunately, their reaction was toote.


    That was because a group of Chinese mechs had already crawled up from the ground!


    The situation took a turn for the worse. All the Chinese mech looked at this big guy like a pack of wolves hunting a little white rabbit.


    "This is bad. Run!"


    At this moment, a Dark Starling sitting in the ancient mech panicked and immediately turned around to escape.


    However, after the buckle broke, all of its movements seemed to be half a beat slower.


    In the end, it was directly pushed down by a group of Chinese mechs.


    After a flurry of attacks, the huge ancient Mech was reduced to a pile of spare parts.


    Meanwhile, a Dark Starling was grabbed by a Chinese mech and slowly brought back to the dome equipment!


    "D*mn it! Let go of our people!"


    At this moment, a giant megaphone appeared on the Dark Star side. The aliens roared at the entire Eternal Sun


    "All Dark Starlings, surrender immediately and leave the spaceship honestly. Otherwise, we will execute your people on the spot!"


    At this moment, the Chinese yers at the front received Wu Mo''s order and immediately sent out this message.


    "We cherish the lives of our own kind, but we will not easily yield. I''m afraid you''re dreaming!"


    The Dark Star general sneered as a spark of hatred shed in its eyes.


    However, there was nothing they could do now. They could only turn around and retreat quickly.


    Before Wu Mo and the others could react, all of the Dark Star spaceships immediately changed directions and slowly rose into the air.


    Then, they instantly elerated to twice the speed of light!


    Suddenly, that invincible devouring force appeared once again. All the Dark Star spaceships were helplessly sucked back.


    "D*mn it! What do you low-level creatures want?" the Dark Star general roared weakly.


    In his heart, it felt that both sides were only holding half of the battle. It was impossible to determine the winner.


    However, there was still a gap. It had a way out; it could go back for reinforcements.


    The humans, on the other hand, went all out and mobilized all theirbat strength at once.


    Therefore, the oue of the future might still be that theypletely wiped out this backward biological race.


    However, just as he was roaring furiously, his eyes widened in horror. He was so dumbfounded that he could not speak!


    That was because the huge green ball of light had already condensed above the dome. Moreover, it was so close that it was as if it was within reach.


    Even the advanced Dark Star civilization would not be able to save them from this crisis.


    Boom!


    After an earth-shattering explosion, the bodies of the Dark Starlings were sted out of the flying ship by the powerful impact.


    Their faces were filled with fear. Although the strongest protective facilities had been broken, they still had a strong desire to survive.


    Then, they used the most skillful method on this to beg for the continuation of life.


    Plop, plop, plop¡­


    The Dark Starlings, including the tall general, immediately fell to their knees.


    All of them faced the camera. In the live broadcast, every Dark Starling was kneeling before the humans.


    This scene stunned everyone. No one had expected these Dark Starlings to kneel down.


    At this moment, Wu Mo couldn''t help but be moved. He stood up with a conflicted expression.


    "Mr. Wu, what should we do next?"


    At the critical moment, Wu Mo issued an order that caused a lot of controversy. Many people thought that this was a decision that should not have been made.


    "If that''s the case, then tie up all these Dark Starlings and bring them back to our institute for further research!" Wu Mo said in a deep voice."


    Hearing Wu Mo''s words, everyone frowned.


    A well-built officer spoke with concern, "But Mr. Wu... what if these Dark Starlings have some special means to invade our world and cause chaos?"


    As an officer, he had more to consider.


    If such a situation really happened, then they would have let down the entire human society!


    "Don''t worry. I''ve developed a new type of shackle. It''s the same principle as the dome protection device."


    "What? There''s such a shackle?"


    Hearing Wu Mo''s words, the officer''s eyes lit up.


    More possibilities began to surface in his mind¡­


    There were some extremely vicious criminals that even the special forces could not deal with.


    However, if there were such shackles, they might be effectively restrained.


    Therefore, the scope of application of this kind of shackle might be wider.


    "Alright, Mr. Wu. I''ll get those on the front line to carry it out immediately!"


    Not long after, a spaceship slowly returned to the native.


    The group of Dark Starlings in the spaceship looked disappointed.


    The leading general had already taken off its glorious hat and be a prisoner.


    "I really want to see who invented that protective device!" the Dark Star general said. Its eyes were filled with defiance.

 Chapter 670 A Different Planet Experience

    <h4>Chapter 670 A Different Experience</h4>


    They were in a defensive position at this point.


    They had suffered repeated losses because of the humans'' protective dome device.


    If not for this device, their destructivesers and sma beams would have blown the to smithereens.


    "Hmph. You want to meet the designer? Your wish is about toe true!"


    Amander waved his hand coldly and led everyone into a secret interrogation room.


    There were a few soldiers holding electromaic guns in the room.


    Their firearms were powerful enough to annihte more than ten of the Dark Starlings in a second.


    As the door gradually opened, light entered the Dark Starlings'' eyes.


    They rubbed their eyes desperately to get adjusted to the dazzling sunlight.


    Then, they noticed a few figures walking toward them.


    The leader was a young man.


    He sat down calmly, while the others quietly lined up behind him.


    The Dark Star general could immediately tell that this young man was likely the leader.


    "Who are you? What gives you the right to interrogate me?" the Dark Star general asked coldly.


    Although it was a prisoner, it was once the general of a high-leveled civilization, so others did not easily look down on it.


    "Didn''t you want to meet the dome''s creator? I''m right here. Don''t you recognize me?"


    "You''re the inventor of that protective device?"


    The Dark Star general widened its eyes in surprise and tried to rush forward.


    Unfortunately, the terrifying shackles immediately released a powerful force.


    Zap!


    The strong electricity from the shackles stunned the Dark Star general. Its entire body became stiff as if it was paralyzed.


    "Speak! How manybat spaceships do you have on your?"


    Wu Mo then began his interrogation.


    The Dark Starlings were reluctant to answer at first, but they were tortured using the shackles. Therefore, they had no choice but to tell the truth.


    After Wu Mo left the interrogation room, his heart was extremely heavy.


    He had learned an important piece of information from the Dark Star general: The Dark Starlings had five hundredbat spaceships on their!


    This was a terrifying number!


    Wu Mo knew that if engaged in an arms race with the Dark Starlings, the pressure on humanity would be immense.


    Fortunately, the Dark Starlings had taken the initiative to invade the humans first. They could not have sent all their spaceships over.


    During the interrogation, Wu Mo also learned that the moment the Dark Star spaceships were destroyed, the general?reported the situation back.


    Their home would soon send even more powerful fleets to conquer this!


    "D*mn it! I really want to p that b*stard to death!" amander roared after he heard the news.


    However, they were helpless. Humanity was facing an unprecedented crisis, and the next attack would be even worse.


    With the precious time they had, they needed to speed up the development of all battleships.


    However, it was gratifying to know that the sales of the five great potions were still increasing steadily. It was great!


    At this time, the base on Eternal Sun was also working at full speed. The staff were frantically starting construction.


    As skyscrapers rose from the ground one after another, the modern city began to take shape.


    China announced that they would select ten thousand volunteers to experience a new life there.


    "Haha! Ten thousand volunteers? I can definitely be one of them!"


    Many were filled with anticipation. They wanted to experience life on a different.


    Wu Mo also decided to travel to Eternal Sun with the ten thousand volunteers.


    The entire world was shocked when they heard that Wu Mo was going as well.


    Wu Mo was the representative of Earth and the symbol of its people. If he went to Eternal Sun, how exciting would it be?


    People around the world wanted to experience life on Eternal Sun.


    Unfortunately, they did not have such luck.


    All ten thousand volunteers would only be from China this time. They would not be recruited from all over the world like thest time.


    Even back then, the number of non-Chinese volunteers was very small. The life they experienced was also very different from this one.


    By now, all themercial facilities had beenpleted. Everyone could see a bustling shopping center.


    Various clothing brands and luxury goods were ready!


    The city''s grand blueprint was clearly presented.


    In such a different urban environment, every person would have a varied experience.


    Thus, Wu Mo started to put his n into motion.


    He underwent a series of physical tests, which showed that he couldpletely withstand the pressure of space.


    As a result, he boarded the ship out of curiosity and made preparations to head to Eternal Sun.


    "Umm, Wu Mo, I heard that you''re going to Eternal Sun. How long will you be away? If you stay too long, I''m going to miss you!"


    Wu Mo had received a call from his mother.


    When she heard that Wu Mo was going to live on Eternal Sun, she felt extremely worried.


    Her son was about to embark on a journey across millions of kilometers. The incredible distance added to her concern.


    Wu Mo smiled and said, "Mom, don''t worry. I''ll take the ship. I won''t be gone for too long. I''ll even bring back some of Eternal Sun''s specialties!"


    "Huh? Eternal Sun''s specialties?"


    Wu Mo''s mother was confused.


    "Isn''t Eternal Sun just another? Apart from stone and water, what else does it have?"


    "Mom, let me tell you a secret. There are many diamond and gold mines on Eternal Sun!" Wu Mo said sneakily.


    "What?! Diamond and gold mines?"


    Wu Mo''s mother immediately became very excited.


    She told him if there was a diamond ring that was over a hundred carats, he could bring one back!


    Wu Mo was speechless. He thought that his mother had be materialistic.


    No one could imagine what a hundred-carat diamond ring would look like!


    Finally, the moment arrived.


    Wu Mo and the ten thousand Chinese volunteers boarded ten spaceships and slowly headed toward Eternal Sun.


    If something like this had happened at a different time, it would have definitely caused a hugemotion.


    However, they had just defeated the Dark Starlings and captured the Dark Star general, so not many people noticed it.


    In the end, the ships sessfullynded on Eternal Sun.


    Everyone was shocked when theynded!


    "Heavens, is this how Eternal Sun looks like now? How could this be like an alien!"


    They had enough reason to be shocked because the current Eternal Sun waspletely different from before.


    It was not a barren ce at all. Instead, it had be a bustling residential area.


    The first thing they saw was the city clusters of China. The city stretched as far as their eyes could see.


    It was the most advanced metropolis; it was lively and eye-catching.


    It was no different from the second-tier cities in China and only slightly inferior to the first-tier cities.


    However, it was not a big gap. Besides, the construction team was working hard.


    They believed that a first-tier city would be born soon.


    At this moment, everyone followed Wu Mo to the dome.


    With him leading the team, the ten thousand Chinese volunteersnded one after another.


    They looked like people who had entered a grand pce for the first time.


    They kept looking around.

 Chapter 671 Evolving to a Level 3 Civilization

    <h4>Chapter 671 Evolving to a Level 3 Civilization</h4>


    "Oh, my God! Look over there. Is that an intersection? I didn''t expect that to be here!"


    "What''s the big deal about that transportation hub? Look over there. I think it looks like arge shopping mall. I wonder if the things sold there are good!"


    "Haha, my friends, look over there. It looks like a hot pot restaurant. I really want to experience a delicious hot pot dinner on this!"


    At this moment, everyone found something of interest.


    They discovered that Eternal Sun was filled with many familiar traces of life and scenes.


    It felt as if they had never left the human world. Everything was the same.


    Wu Mo sighed when he saw this.


    "Looks like everyone has their favorite parts of Eternal Sun!"


    The people were now moving toward the residential area inside the dome ording to the n.


    At this time, Eternal Sun''s houses had yet to be introduced into themercial real estate model. However, all the volunteers bought one.


    If they wanted to own a house on Eternal Sun in the future, they would have to buy it ording to regr rules!


    By then, the price of Eternal Sun''s houses would definitely rise.


    It was an extraterrestrial property after all, so how could it not be expensive?


    Furthermore, if they chose to settle down there, the possibility of returning to Earth at any time would be incredibly small.


    Therefore, only volunteers with a strong interest in the ce were qualified to settle down there.


    The live stream was split into several scenes.


    There was a volunteer in front of each camera. They were experiencing their new life.


    Despite that, the global audience was focused on Wu Mo''s camera. They wanted to see how he would spend the next month.


    Right then, the stream''s host said in a deep voice, "Everyone, please take note. In theing month, Mr. Wu Mo will be leading everyone on a surreal experience on Eternal Sun. One could say that in terms of technology andfort, Eternal Sun has even surpassed Earth¡­"


    Everyone was in disbelief when the host finished speaking.


    One should realize that Eternal Sun has only been developed for a very short period of time.


    How long had human society developed on Earth? How could theypare?


    However, the host said that Eternal Sun was more civilized andfortable. How was that possible?


    As the screen zoomed in, Wu Mo could be seen preparing his first dinner on the.


    "Look! Mr. Wu Mo has started cooking. We all know what a great cook he is!"


    The audience sighed.


    Many people had tried to make simr delicious meals on Eternal Sun.


    Unfortunately, due to theck of logistics facilities.


    Therefore, their so-called feast could only be simple food that filled the stomach!


    However, with the current improvement of living facilities, the dishes that Wu Mo could cook became increasingly abundant.


    He was also showing off the results of China''s construction on Eternal Sun, so he would naturally do his best!


    Not long after, Wu Mo began to prepare a sumptuous dinner.


    This time, there were not only vegetable fields and residential areas, but there was also a vegetable market.


    Most of the vegetables in the market were grown locally.


    The vendors were all selected from the early construction workers and staff.


    They were given a choice, so some opted not to return to Earth. Instead, they continued to do business there.


    In their words, there was no point in going back.


    Why not enjoy the rest of their lives there?


    These people had amon characteristic: They had many regrets in life.


    They did not have any family on Earth, so there was nothing to miss.


    Meanwhile, Wu Mo had a family and friends whom he could not ignore.


    He could not separate himself from them.


    Therefore, every decision he made could not be about himself. He had to think about their ce in his future.


    Wu Mo knew that there was only one simple and direct way to solve this problem.


    He would set up a wormhole portal!


    He looked at the wormhole portal listed in the system''s store.


    Wu Mo knew that if he wanted to realize his idea, he had to evolve Eternal Sun''s civilization to a Level 3.


    To reach this level, the logistics facilities had to keep up. They still needed to work hard.


    The mark of a Level 3 civilization was the ability to understand and use dark matter as well as antimatter.


    However, if they could not keep up in terms of living standards, others would not acknowledge their civilization level.


    Therefore, Wu Mo had to pay attention to living conditions.


    The people on Eternal Sun were stunned by Wu Mo''s cooking.


    They looked at the dishes he made and found them unbelievable.


    "This is unreal!"


    Everyone eximed.


    Wu Mo enjoyed the various dishes he made and appreciated the reactions he received.


    At this moment, his life had seemingly be too extravagant.


    Others attributed his luxurious lifestyle to Eternal Sun''s environment.


    The markets had everything. When Wu Mo was spotted buying ingredients, everyone was amazed by the seafood supply on Eternal Sun.


    "There''s a king crab over there! It''s at least three pounds!" aizen eximed.


    Wu Mo took a nce and bought it instantly. There was a wave of surprise.


    "Haha, he might be the best food blogger in the world. Who canpare to someone eating king crab on an alien?" someone joked.


    Wu Mo brought the king crab home and started cooking.


    He made salt-baked king crab. Its fragrance assailed the nose and made one drool.


    However, Wu Mo spent most of his time researching and developing new potions to achieve breakthroughs in biological science.


    He nned to use his research results to give back to the world in exchange for priceless system points.


    Only by reaching this level could he possibly turn the Interster Teleportation Gate into a reality.


    The teleportation gate would not cover a far distance. It would be enough as long as they could reach Eternal Sun.


    Although Wu Mo''s ambition was not big, he understood that after humans entered the true interster era, teleportation gates might be amon existence.


    However, that was still a distant goal.


    Even a Level 3 civilization like Dark Star had not been able to establish a teleportation gate on Eternal Sun.


    During their stay on Eternal Sun, everyone had a fixed amount of time to observe Wu Mo''s life.


    He lived a veryfortable life there. Everyone noticed his cooking skills and leisurely lifestyle.


    "Oh, my God. Is Mr. Wu Mo yingputer games on Eternal Sun? Is there Inte there? Can game signals be transmitted over there?"


    Everyone was taken aback.


    Wu Mo was immersed in apetitive game right then.


    People wondered where his opponents came from.


    Were they also residents of Eternal Sun?


    Not long after, the host revealed the truth.


    "Dear viewers, Mr. Wu Mo''s gaming partners are all residents of Eternal Sun. Aplete local areawork has been established on the, and ourwork service has moved there!"


    When the news came out, everyone was shocked!


    So, the Inte servicepanies have also moved there?


    This was unimaginable!


    They were dumbfounded by Eternal Sun''s improvement.


    The quality of life on this had reached an impressive level!

 Chapter 672 The Plan For Eternal Sun

    "When can we travel to Eternal Sun to experience it?"


    Netizens from all over the world sent suchments in the live chat, but China ignored them.


    However, the Chineseizens retorted, "If you want that so badly, ask your country to send you there. Why do you always try to involve China?"


    "That''s true. Don''t drag China down with you. China''s busy too!"


    Suchments immediately made the foreignizens envious and jealous. They were offended, but who could they me?


    Was their country powerful enough to send them to Eternal Sun?


    Besides, with their pitiful spaceships, it would be good enough if they could transport a few dozen people at once.


    How could they be as generous as China? Howcould they easily send over ten thousand people to Eternal Sun?


    In fact, everyone knew that as long as China was willing, it could send more people into space without a problem.


    However, it was choosing to keep a low profile and quietly expand its influence.


    Wu Mo had spent a month exploring and experiencing Eternal Sun. Those wonderful days were about toe to an end.


    He realized that there was still plenty of undiscovered potential on the.


    As a result, he made a detailed n to ensure that Eternal Sun would be effectively and continuously developed in the future.


    "This n must be strictly implemented. If we find any valuable resources, we''ll set up a mining area next to it. However, we can''t mine them all at once. Do you understand?" Wu Mo said solemnly.


    The head of the construction team immediately nodded like a child listening to his father''s words.


    He would remember everything.


    "Don''t worry, Chief Engineer Wu. We''ll follow your instructions. Plus, we''ve made significant progress, haven''t we?"


    Wu Mo smiled and nodded. He expressed his approval of the construction team''s achievements.


    He wanted to experience the subway tunnel again because he found it more advanced than the subway on Earth. He did not understand why this was the case, so the head of the construction team exined.


    "Mr. Wu, in the past, the subway line on Earth was built on the ground before we dug underground. As such, its structure is very rigid. But here, we can design the route freely, which makes it more advanced."


    Wu Mo finally understood what was going on.


    Then, as the camera filmed him, he once again experienced a smooth ride in the subway.


    The train sped through the tunnel at an astonishing speed, which surprised him.


    He estimated that the speed had reached at least five hundred kilometers per hour. However, it was still elerating.


    It was shocking because it was even faster than a ne.


    It was especially worth mentioning that Eternal Sun was an undeveloped.


    Therefore, the subway tunnel could be built in a straight line.


    Not only did this save a lot of money, but it also saved a lot of time.


    Wu Mo arrived at the other end of the in half an hour via the subway.


    The scenery there was also very beautiful. It had the potential to be developed into a tourist area.


    Suddenly, he noticed an oasis hidden amid the greenery before him.


    It was undoubtedly the best ce to set up a stargate.


    ''If we get a wormhole teleportation door in the future, I''ll ce it in this spot¡­'' Wu Mo thought to himself.


    With that in mind, he decided to protect this oasis and prevent anyone from destroying it easily.


    "Develop this ce into a tourist area but remember that this oasis must be protected well. You can''t allow anyone to destroy it," Wu Mo ordered before he left.


    After that, he checked on the progress of the entire construction. He was satisfied to find that the project was progressing smoothly.


    This futuristic city would definitely take shape.


    As for living a good life on Eternal Sun, there was no longer a problem with that.


    After a month, Wu Mo was ready to return to the life he knew.


    This time, he had a new revtion. He decided to create new things in the field of biological science and develop a series of important potions.


    He could only add to his achievements by developing these potions and selling them on the official website.


    Therefore, Wu Mo boarded a spaceship home.


    Everyone made their own choices. It was up to them whether they wanted to return to their homnd immediately or continue living on Eternal Sun.


    Out of the ten thousand volunteers, about three thousand chose to stay, while the remaining seven thousand decided to go home.


    They were able to survive on Eternal Sun. In fact, the quality of life there was far superior.


    However, humans were unique creatures.


    If there was no kinship and something more meaningful for them, it would be meaningless to stay there.


    Therefore, they chose to go home.


    Most of the three thousand people who chose to stay were individuals who had nothing to worry about.


    Nostalgia did not mean anything to them.


    They were willing to start a new life on Eternal Sun.


    In truth, many had already found their loved ones on Eternal Sun, so they were prepared to build a future together.


    Wu Mo wished them well and respected their choice.


    The moment Wu Mo set foot on Earth, the researchers immediately put him through various physical tests.


    When they saw that all the data was normal, they all heaved a deep sigh of relief.


    After all, his trip to space had been an adventure.


    Even someone like Wu Mo faced small risks.


    Wu Mo gave them some instructions and headed to the base.


    Everyone wondered what Mr. Wu was doing. He seemed to be busy with something important.


    He did not eat or drink for three consecutive days. Wu Mo became so busy that his eyes turned red.


    However, everything was worth it to him because he had finally developed a few potions!


    The first potion could increase intelligence. Wu Mo named it the Special IQ Potion.


    With how human society was progressing, the demand for various upations was growing.


    As such, the pressure on students also increased because they needed to learn deeper and moreplex information.


    In the past, students only had to learn basic information!


    It was not only an increase in pressure but also an intellectual challenge.


    As for the Special IQ Potion, it could improve a student''s intelligence to a certain extent. That way, students could improve theirprehension skills when listening to lectures or learningplex topics. They would be more receptive to new information.


    Most importantly, this potion had no side effects.


    People could undergo all kinds of tests and use it without worry.


    As long as it was produced by Wu Mo, it was equivalent to the best quality assurance.


    There was another potion worth mentioning. It was also Wu Mo''s favorite one, the Special EQ Potion!


    As its name suggested, the EQ Potion could significantly increase a person''s EQ.


    It seemed perplexing since EQ could not be seen or touched.


    While IQ could be measured through solving problems or listening to lectures, EQ was more abstract.


    In that case, how should one measure EQ?

 Chapter 673 Three Special Enhancement Potions

    Wu Mo said that once people took the Special EQ Potion, their overall emotional intelligence would change.


    When they interacted with others, they would consider the feelings of others more.


    When others gave them some hints, they would immediately be enlightened and understand what was being conveyed.


    In this aspect, EQ was actually more valuable than IQ because a person used emotional intelligence most of the time.


    If a person''s emotional intelligence was high enough, he would not live like a fish out of water.


    Even if his strength was not outstanding, it would be enough to obtain the respect of others!


    Wu Mo knew that most people neglected interpersonal skills under the pressure of life and work.


    However, the Special EQ potion could now eliminate this problem.


    After he made the IQ and EQ potions, he was able to use them.


    Wu Mo also invented a potion to improve one''s physique. It was named the Specialized Enhancement Potion!


    The previous potions could increase lifespan, reverse aging, increase energy, satisfy hunger, or carry out biological reconstruction.


    Those were all in-depth modifications targeted at a specific broad domain.


    However, there were not many visible changes to the Specialized Enhancement Potion.


    However, once someone consumed it, he would feel his body gradually be stronger!


    In other words, those who used to be weak and often caught a cold might not catch a cold anymore.


    Those who often became dizzy or suffered from various chronic diseases and unhealthy conditions would also be full of vitality.


    In Wu Mo''s opinion, this potion was actually more precious than the previous two!


    "Director Wu, are you forgetting about your research?"


    At this moment, Wu Mo reappeared with bloodshot eyes after three days of silence. Every researcher was quite surprised.


    They were also somewhat touched because a high-ranking person like Wu Mo was taking action personally.


    He was so invested in his research that he even neglected to eat. Such a spirit was truly admirable.


    Wu Mo pointed at the three potions on the table, whichwere of different colors. emitted a faint glow.


    He slowly said, "Pay attention to these three potions. They are the Special IQ Potion, Special EQ Potion, and Specialized Enhancement Potion. After you''ve tested them, run trials with some volunteers!"


    What the hell?!


    Three types of biological medicine?


    All the researchers were shocked when they heard what Wu Mo said.


    They understood that the new potion he invented was simr to the previous five major potions. There were three new varieties?


    "Oh, my God! Director Wu is a genius. Even inventing one of these potions should earn him the Nobel Prize, right?" A researcher looked at Wu Mo''s back and praised.


    Another person nodded and said, "That''s right. He should win the Nobel Prize just by developing one. But does President Wu really need the Nobel Prize''s recognition? I think it''s the other way around, right?"


    The Chinese researchers were not the only ones who felt this way.


    Most people around the world felt that the Nobel Prize was an honorable award for others.


    However, if Wu Mo could win the Nobel Prize, it would be an honor for the Nobel Prize.


    Yet, Wu Mo''s major inventions in the fields of science and technology, especially biology, had not earned him the Nobel Prize.


    That was the biggest joke in the world!


    The award had lost its credibility.


    The final reason was because of its conflict with Wu Mo, which resulted in it abandoning the field of science and biology.


    "Mr. Wu, the volunteers are ready. Which potion should we start with?" the researcher asked since there were three kinds of potions.


    Reversing the order might bring serious consequences.


    After all, one could not mess around in the field of biological science. Being meticulous and cautious was the norm.


    "Let''s start with the Special IQ Potion!" Wu Mo said."


    "Oh, the Special IQ Potion? Understood, Mr. Wu!"


    The volunteers selected to participate in the Special IQ Potion experiment were a group of students.


    These little ones did not perform well in school.


    If they were top students, they would not need this potion''s help.


    Users of this potion would always be those with average results or even horrible results.


    However, their parents still had high hopes for them to change.


    Their eyes were filled with confusion as they looked at these mysterious potions...


    Could it really make them smarter and improve their academic performance?


    In the end, each of them swallowed the potion and kept their eyes peeled for twelve hours.


    Not long after, twelve hours passed. Then, the students left the Institute of Special Biology one after another.


    Someone would continue to observe and summarize their performance in school.


    There were also people watching the ss to see how efficient the students were.


    Meanwhile, a new batch of volunteers arrived to test the Special EQ Potion.


    They were not at their workce. They had even experienced being ostracized many times.


    Their helplessness was evident.


    Many of them had been at the same workce for many years, but they had never been promoted to a managerial position.


    It was apparent that their emotional intelligence was very ordinary.


    Otherwise, how could they not have been promoted after so long?


    "Sigh. I really hope this medicine can improve my EQ. My wife''s beenining about me for so many years," avolunteerined in a low voice.


    Soon, they began to receive an injection of the Special EQ Potion.


    It was worth noting that it was not taken orally. It had to be injected directly into the bloodstream to be effective.


    This power could quietly change a person''s brain cells and even adjust a person''s memory fragments.


    It would permeate into the mind and change a person''s thinking habits in a suggestive way. Gradually, one''s emotional intelligence would improve.


    It sounded magical. Even technical terms in biological science could not fully exin it.


    Corrick was the best example of this.


    As a big figure in the field of biological science, he had once gambled with Wu Mo and lost miserably.


    Therefore, when these potions were said to change one''s EQ and IQ, foreign figures in the biological sciencemunity dared not challenge it openly.


    Their memory of the past best was still fresh. Who dared to act rashly? What a joke.


    "Mr. Wu, what kind of volunteers should we choose for the Specialized Enhancement Potion?" a researcher asked.


    After all, the Specialized Enhancement Potion only strengthened a person''s physique. What kind of people should be selected?


    Wu Mo contemted for a moment and replied, "Choose those who are physically weaker. You can pick office workers."


    Wu Mo had a deep understanding of the physique of office workers.


    Most of them had subpar health.


    They worked hard every day and even worked overtime.


    These individuals almost had no life beyond that.


    In addition, they often stayed upte at night to y with their phones. Hence, their bodies gradually weakened over time.

 Chapter 674 A Major Breakthrough in Biological Science

    <h4>Chapter 674 A Major Breakthrough in Biological Science</h4>


    Now, he wanted to see how these people would change after taking the enhancement potion.


    "Alright, Mr. Wu. The volunteers are already on their way!"


    This time, he had chosen a hundred office workers with deep experience. Their physiques were simply terrible.


    The moment they stepped into the Institute of Special Biology, their hearts were filled with excitement.


    Before this, they had a deep understanding of this Specialized Enhancement Potion. They were also eager to obtain physical improvement from this potion.


    After all, they were not satisfied with their poor physiques.


    At the Institute of Special Biology, Wu Mo personally showed up and analyzed the various key points of the Specialized Enhancement Potion for them.


    "After you return home, you must go to sleep before 9.00 pm for three days and three nights. You must wake up at around 6.00 am. You must not miss three meals, and¡­"


    Wu Mo borated on many things to take note of. They were the golden rules to a healthy life.


    These people would not normally practice these habits.


    However, after taking the Specialized Enhancement Potion and listening to Wu Mo''s exnation, they were shocked.


    Therefore, everyone seriously memorized these rules. They were determined to follow through.


    This was one of the requirements for the potion to work.


    If they could not change their lifestyle, the potion''s effect would be greatly reduced.


    Now, Wu Mo hadpleted the experiments of the three potions. The next step was to wait for the results.


    Sure enough, a few dayster, the results of the three major potions were released in session¡­


    First, it was the feedback for the Special IQ Potion.


    A researcher barged into the research institute and congratted Wu Mo upon seeing him.


    "Mr. Wu, the students'' learning efficiency has improved significantly. They could understand all the questions that they couldn''t understand before. On top of that, in the recent baseline test, the volunteers who took the potion increased their scores by more than thirty points on average!"


    "What? Thirty points? That''s insane¡­"


    Wu Mo did not expect the effects to be so good.


    An average score increase of thirty points in the exam was terrifying.


    Even though these students had poor grades in the past, the thirty-point increase was still beyond his expectations.


    "How''s the feedback on the Special EQ Potion?" Wu Mo asked.


    However, he also realized that it was difficult to see the effect of such a potion in a short period of time.


    After all, emotional intelligence was closely rted to every detail of life.


    As expected, the researcher smiled bitterly. "We still need to observe further in terms of EQ before we can make a judgment."


    Wu Mo nodded and did not say anything else. At this moment, he began to pay attention to the results of the Specialized Enhancement Potion.


    "Mr. Wu, their appearances have begun to change subtly. They look energetic. We will conduct a second observation in a month''s time."


    ''That''s great! Well done. We can now start selling the Special IQ Potion,'' Wu Mo thought to himself.


    Then, he instructed them to make the potion avable on the official website.


    When the new potion appeared on the website, all the fans of China''s pharmaceuticals were shocked!


    They had been looking forward to a new product.


    The moment had finally arrived. Everyone''s eyes widened as they carefully examined what it was.


    "Oh, Special IQ Potion¡­ After it''s consumed, it greatly increases the IQ of children with poor grades and changes their life trajectories."


    Everyone was stunned because the content of its introduction was far beyond their imagination.


    There were wealthy parents with children who were not doing well in their studies.


    At this moment, they felt like a drowning person who had just found a lifeboat. Anxious panting filled the entire room.


    "Oh, my God! It''s as if this potion was made for our child!"


    They immediately decided to buy it.


    However, the exorbitant price of five million yuan for a bottle undoubtedly made everyone''s hearts race.


    Nevertheless, wealthy families still insisted on buying.


    It was worth it no matter how much it cost for their children.


    After all, wasn''t all their hard work to give their children a better future?


    "Haha. As long as I buy this Special IQ Potion, my son''s grades will skyrocket."


    Suchments spread among the parents.


    At the same time, the results of the Specialized Enhancement Potion''s second test were out.


    The physical fitness of the test subjects had significantly improved.


    This discovery made Wu Mo and his team very excited.


    "Wow! That''s how it is, Mr. Wu. We''re so excited. This potion has improved everyone''s physical fitness significantly!"


    This was a major breakthrough in the field of biological science.


    Generally speaking, a person''s life and physical fitness were fixed. It was too difficult to change them.


    However, Wu Mo''s potion had actually changed a person''s basic constitution.


    Once this news got out, people would go crazy for the potion.


    That happened when the potion went on sale on the official website the next day.


    Wu Mo was shocked by the poprity of the potion too.


    "Look, the manual says that it can change a weak constitution and improve health. I wonder if it''s true?"


    "What is it? Change his weak constitution? Wasn''t this the trick of those swindlers who used health supplements?"


    "Don''t talk nonsense! How could this bepared to those things? This was personally developed by Mr. Wu Mo. It''s also been tested by volunteers, so it''s very effective!"


    Everyone was discussing the potion. Many people bought it with the mentality of giving it a try.


    After all, the price of this potion was two million, although it was slightly cheaper than the Special IQ Potion.


    However, not every family could afford it.


    Despite that, many people bought the potion and took it back home. They used a form to record the changes in their bodies.


    This potion was too expensive.


    After buying it, everyone wanted to see if it had any effect.


    If there was no effect, it would be a waste of money.


    On the other side, Wu Mo and his team had been paying close attention to the progress of the Special EQ Potion.


    However, it was very difficult to make the effects of this potion obvious.


    After all, EQ was too abstract.


    In other words, even if a test subject''s EQ really improved, his boss might not promote him.


    Promotion involved many key factors, such as timing, location, and people.


    It was not necessarily something that could be changed by potions.


    The Special EQ Potion''s effects could only be seen through big data andrge-scale changes.


    It proved that the test range of the Special EQ Potion had to be very wide. They needed at least a thousand volunteers.


    The fearless Wu Mo once again threw out arge sum of money and bought arge number of top-notch EQ potions for testing.


    "Are you crazy, Chief Engineer Wu? We haven''t even sold a single bottle, yet you''re using so many of them for experiments. Aren''t you afraid of losing money?"


    One of his employees was incredulous.


    He felt that it was not worth spending so much money to buy potions for experiments.

 Chapter 675 Overall Upgrade

    However, Wu Mo believed that if he could get the results of the experiment, it would be worth it no matter the cost.


    He smiled and said, "Right now, the results of the experiment are what we need most. As long as we cane up with useful conclusions, it will be worth it no matter what we do. I''m sure of this!"


    Hearing how confident Wu Mo was, the others did not say anything else.


    They had no choice but to bring all the volunteers to the Institute of Special Biology.


    Xu Wanqing became really busy because her daily work was endless.


    She needed to inject nearly a thousand volunteers with the Special EQ Potion.


    This was undoubtedly the most taxing task for her.


    This potion could only be administered via injection. It could not be taken orally.


    After the injection, the nearly one thousand volunteers needed to stay there for about an hour for observation.


    If there was no physical reaction, they could choose to leave.


    After all, they were all working people. They needed to maintain their daily routine.


    ''Let''s observe them closely. In theory, these volunteers are all senior employees. They just have low EQ. If their EQ improves, they''ll be promoted in a month!'' Wu Mo thought to himself.


    Therefore, he mobilized most of the researchers and staff in the research center. They had to conduct intensive big data tracking.


    At the same time, China added a third type of potion to it''s official website.


    However, the link for the potion brought users to an empty page. It only mentioned that the potion was being tested and that everyone was looking forward to it.


    "What is this? A Special EQ Potion? Is this real?"


    Everyone read the introduction andughed.


    The words "Special EQ Potion" made their thoughts run wild¡­


    EQ was an intangible thing. In today''s society, how many people could confidently say that their EQ was really high?


    IQ, on the other hand, was a specific number. There were clear differences between high and low IQ, but EQ varied more greatly from person to person.


    ''I think Chief Engineer Wu might get into big trouble this time,'' a user thought.


    Many people agreed with him.


    They felt that Wu Mo''s Special EQ Potion might not bring as many surprises as before.


    He would likely lose everything. Then, Wu Mo wouldpletely lose his prestige in the field of biological science.


    "Impossible! Chief Engineer Wu said this potion can change one''s EQ, so it can definitely do that. We can buy a bottle and try it."


    Even so, Wu Mo still had a lot of fans.


    Furthermore, most of the Chinese people decided to support all the potions that were sold on the official website.


    A month quickly passed by.


    Someone finally ran up to Wu Mo in excitement and reported the tracking results for the month.


    "Mr. Wu, among the 1,000 senior employees, 845 of them have been promoted to varying degrees. Although more than 100 of them have not been promoted, their rtionship with their bosses has improved!"


    "Hmm, that''s pretty good. It looks like this potion is effective. It''s exactly as we expected," Wu Mo said with a smile.


    He felt very satisfied.


    He did not disappoint his hardcore fans this time!


    The moment his fans browsed the official website, they were surprised to find that this magical potion had been quietly made avable¡­


    "Oh, my God! The magical potion is avable for purchase!"


    "Really? That''s great. I want to be the first to buy this miracle cure!"


    "Don''t snatch all of it! My EQ is low. I really want to improve and see the best version of myself!"


    The publicity for the potion had been so intense that it caused a rush of people to fight for it as soon as it was sold online.


    Everyone had the opportunity to click and buy on the official website.


    Therefore, arge group of people snatched up a bottle of the Special EQ Potion!


    One should know that the Special EQ Potion was the most affordable among the three potions, but its effects were the most surprising.


    Besides, everyone in today''s society urgently needed to have emotional intelligence.


    With the eleration of social development, the pressure of work was also increasing day by day.


    In the midst of heavy work and troubles, people hoped to improve their emotional intelligence to enhance their interpersonal skills!


    There was an endless stream of people frantically buying the three potions.


    However, the biggest seller was the Specialized Enhancement Potion.


    All of this was within Wu Mo''s expectations.


    This was because improving one''s physique was an urgent need for everyone in China.


    At present, most people were not in the greatest state of health. Hence, improving their physique became the most important thing.


    The health potions could only be used by those who had lived for a long time.


    The Biological Regeneration Agent was targeted at disabled people. Each potion had its own target group.


    Now, the Specialized Enhancement Potion was desired by the entire poption!


    After news of the three new potions spread in China, foreignizens were also jubnt.


    Furthermore, knowing that they could change one''s IQ, EQ, and physique, they could not be more excited!


    "Oh, my God! These three potions in China areprehensive. Besides, almost anyone can use them!"


    Foreignizens were all amazed. They immediately took action and tried to buy the potions from the website.


    Unfortunately, the official website employed a real-name system. One had to be a citizen of China to buy the products.


    If anyone was caught buying potions on someone else''s behalf, he would be held responsible and be permanently barred from making any purchases! With such a severe warning, no one dared to break the rule.


    The three new potions caused a huge uproar around the world.


    However, only the Chinese could buy them. Foreigners could only watch helplessly.


    They kept talking about it and looking forward to the day when they could buy it from abroad...


    China''s Bioscience Channel also had a ce on the globalwork.


    However, the link to the product had stopped functioning for a long time.


    At this moment, Wu Mo decided to runch it.


    "Mr. Wu, are you nning to runch the global official website? Do you want to sell these three potions worldwide?"


    The research team was a little confused. Even Xu Wanqing walked over.


    They all knew that these three potions were enough to greatly increase a country''s strength.


    Once they were sold worldwide, other countries would likely share in China''s sess.


    Wu Mo replied, "The potions will improve the physique, IQ, and EQ of the entire poption. We''re just letting them enjoy this in advance. However, we can make them pay more. What''s wrong with that?"


    Amotion started when Wu Mo posted the trading information rted to the three magical potions on the public channel.


    Everyone was surprised that the potions were being sold to the world.


    "Look! Those potions are actually avable for purchase. Quick! Let''s go and try them!"


    Countless voices began to spread around the world.


    Soon, international big shots with rich financial resources decided to buy the first batch of these magical potions without hesitation.


    However, when they clicked on the link, all their high hopes were instantly shattered.

 Chapter 676 Interstellar Teleportation Gate

    "Heavens! The Special IQ Potion costs ten million, the Special EQ Potion costs eight million, and the Specialized Enhancement Potion costs six million. How was this possible?"


    This sky-high price made them doubt their eyes.


    They had alreadypared the prices through China''s official website. They found that the prices here were more than two times higer.


    "This isn''t fair. Your prices aren''t that high."


    The voices of opposition grew louder and louder.


    However, the Chinese government only responded calmly to theints of the international buyers.


    "Everyone, please understand that cross-border transactions will inevitably result in additional duties. This is a very normal thing. If you don''t think it''s worth it, you can choose not to purchase anything. You have to spend rationally¡­"


    This response silenced all the protesting voices.


    However, after careful consideration, they felt that Wu Mo was being unreasonable.


    This was just a transaction on a website. At most, the delivery fee would be a little higher!


    Unfortunately, Wu Mo had the final say, so they could only ept it.


    Without any other choice, these people had to spend their money. They emptied their pockets of gold coins and bought the mysterious potions.


    Although they were reluctant, their curiosity got the better of them.


    "IQ, EQ, and body enhancement!"


    It was too tempting.


    Even if they had to spend half of their life savings, it was good gamble.


    Just like that, the three potions became more and more popr. The higher the price, the better the sales.


    As a result, economic experts were very confused.


    "Mr. Wu, a child in our Special IQ Potion user group has achieved amazing results!" A researcher rushed to Wu Mo to report the news.


    It turned out that among the long-term users being observed, one student made rapid progress in his studies after he took the Special IQ Potion.


    He had be the top scorer of this year''s college entrance examination. He had the best score in all of the Nine Provinces!


    "He already seemed like a bright person from the start. This potion just helped him ignite his intelligence¡­"


    Wu Mo sighed in his heart.


    In an interview, the top scorer generously shared his secret with everyone.


    "This is all thanks to the Special IQ Potion!"


    With the top scorer''s endorsement, Wu Mo believed that the potion''s poprity would soar again.


    As expected, when the news spread, many parents no longer hesitated.


    They spent a lot of money to buy the Special IQ Potion.


    Some even took out loans to buy it, but Wu Mo did not approve of that.


    Even so, how could he stop their enthusiasm?


    Everyone wanted their children to stand out and be the center of attention.


    Therefore, the Special IQ Potion''s stock was almost sold out.


    Wu Mo nced at the system''s store.


    He discovered that he was getting closer and closer to constructing the Interster Teleportation Gate and various super spaceships.


    He knew that China''s construction on Eternal Sun had reached a frenzied stage.


    Brand-new cities sprang up like bamboo shoots after the rain.


    These cities were simr to the first-tier cities on Earth.


    However, these new ones surpassed those cities on Earth in terms of logistics facilities and overall scale.


    These masterpieces were the result of the construction team''s amazing work. They were invincible in the field of construction.


    Such efficiency made other countries envious.


    Construction teams from all over the world came to China to learn from them, but they could only observe the construction site to catch any tricks.


    In the end, they came to a helpless conclusion.


    The work efficiency and teamwork on China''s base were simply too great. It was difficult for them to imitate this.


    The best-selling IQ potion was a sign.


    It was a reminder to everyone that the Special EQ Potion and Specialized Enhancement Potion were equally worth the price.


    Therefore, the sales of those two potions steadily increased as well.


    One day, Wu Mo received a call from the old chief.


    Once he picked up the call, the old chief anxiously asked, "Wu Mo, can the Specialized Enhancement Potion further improve my physical fitness?"


    The old chief sounded nervous. It was obvious that he was afraid of hearing a negative answer.


    However, Wu Mo smiled and firmly said, "Don''t worry, Old Chief. I already considered this. Ten thousand bottles of the Specialized Enhancement Potion are already on their way. Now, let''s just watch the show!"


    The old chief gratefully said, "Wu Mo, you''re really thoughtful. Thank you for your help!"


    Wu Mo then hung up with a smile.


    At the same time, ten thousand volunteer soldiers began to experience the Specialized Enhancement Potion.


    They had excellent physiques to begin with, but they were further improved!


    Their mental state also changed significantly.


    Looking at these lively soldiers, a first lieutenant praised Wu Mo.


    "Oh, my God! Mr. Wu, your potion is out of this world!"


    The soldiers under hismand were experiencing obvious changes. As the officer in charge, he was deeply touched.


    Wu Mo knew that he finally had enough system points. He could now develop several new products at the same time!


    Furthermore, with arge-scale price reduction of the three potions around the world, he believed that his subsequent profits would only increase.


    At this moment, Wu Mo could already reap the fruits of hisbor.


    Wu Mo busied himself on the base for a while and soon created a mysterious device.


    The device looked like a ck iron door, but it was equipped with powerfulponents for electromaicmunication.


    This door could be installed at any stable space node in the starry sky.


    As long as the door was open, the powerfulponents inside could create a small wormhole through high-voltage current!


    It was reminiscent of the sea monsters'' wormhole that everyone used to talked about.


    One end of this wormhole would be connected to another node, whichneeded another device to connect.


    Therefore, Wu Mo took out a second iron door without hesitation.


    Then, he began to connect the second device to the first device and establish a stable point-to-point pathway.


    Wu Mo nned to ce the second device in the oasis on Eternal Sun.


    However, choosing a location for the first device was a problem.


    Soon, the staff of the research institute began a small meeting.


    After Wu Mo asked for everyone''s opinion, one of the researchers suggested cing the portal in the northwest desert.


    It was a nuclear test site.


    No one dared to get close to it, so that should ensure the portal''s safety.


    Wu Mo agreed with him, but another researcher disagreed.


    He believed that the portal''s surroundings had to be very stable. There could not be any spatial fluctuations.


    The northwest desert obviously did not fulfill this condition.


    Wu Mo could not refute this.


    If the spatial fluctuations were toorge, they might cause the teleportation gate to fail and pose unpredictable danger.


    This created a very practical problem.


    Where could the portal be ced safely and stably?

 Chapter 677 Distance Will No Longer Be a Problem

    <h4>Chapter 677 Distance Will No Longer Be a Problem</h4>


    Wu Mo pondered for a while as he tapped his fingers on the table. In the end, he made a decision.


    He would just leave it on the base!


    Everyone''s eyes lit up. That was a really good idea!


    The space in the base was stable, so there would not be any danger of an explosion.


    Besides, what ce could be safer than China''s research base?


    Hence, a research room on the base would house the first wormhole portal.


    This room would be guarded twenty-four hours a day.


    Soon, the Interster Teleportation Gate was built.


    However, this matter was still an absolute secret for now. No one dared to casually reveal it.


    Furthermore, with the military leaders in the thick of things, everyone who knew about it consciously followed the gag order.


    This meant that they could not leave the base for a while.


    Therefore, the secret of the Interster Teleportation Gate would not be leaked.


    On the other side, a ship secretly brought another Interster Teleportation Gate to Eternal Sun.


    Wu Mo knew why they were unwilling to leak this information. It was very simple.


    The military was still skeptical about whether this n would seed.


    If it got leaked out in advance and failed in the end, they would be theughing stock of the entire world.


    China could not afford such a loss.


    Once they confirmed that Wu Mo''s Interster Teleportation Gate was safe and effective, the news would cause a heated discussion around the world.


    Finally, the moment to witness a miracle arrived. Everyone on the base gathered around Wu Mo.


    They stared nervously at the screen as they watched the spaceshipnd. After that, someone slowly escorted a huge iron box away from the base of the ship.


    The protective dome cracked open a little before long.


    Following that, arge security car slowly drove toward the oasis in the distance.


    "Huh? Look! China''s base is up to something. What are they trying to do?"


    China''s actions excited a couple of the bases nearby.


    Everyone was a little confused. What was China nning?


    The Chinese security vehicle slowly drove to the edge of the desert oasis. Then, thest batch of security personnel carried the huge metal box into the oasis.


    Undoubtedly, those from the other bases had gathered to watch the show.


    They wanted to see if China was about to build any special facilities there. They were all eager to find out what was going on.


    "Go away! Go away! This is confidential. Leave, now!" a Chinese man ordered expressionlessly.


    Thus, the curious audience could only make way for him.


    What else could they do? Were they going to start a conflict with China''s base?


    If China removed the powerful dome, all the countries would fall into panic!


    Soon after, Wu Mo oversaw the construction of the second Interster Teleportation Gate remotely.


    "Let''s pick this spot! It''s highly suitable. We''ll have to dig a twenty-meter-deep hole first¡­"


    Right then, Wu Mo was giving instructions in front of the screen. There were alsomanders on site ordering the staff to start digging.


    After they dug a twenty-meter deep hole, they ced the Interster Teleportation Gate in it.


    Just as everyone was about to scoop the soil back, Wu Mo suddenly shouted, "What are you guys doing?"


    "Huh? Director Wu, didn''t you ask us to dig a hole to bury this door?"


    Wu Mo was speechless when he heard themander''s reply.


    Most of the people on the base were confused as well.


    If they weren''t going to bury the door, why did they dig such a big hole?


    Wu Mo answered, "This is a portal. We''re going to use it for interster travel. If you guys bury it, how are we going to leave?"


    Everyone burst outughing.


    However, some of them soon frowned and looked really embarrassed!


    It was obvious that although they did not raise any questions earlier, they must have thought about burying the door in the hole too!


    "Mr. Wu, I don''t understand. Why are we digging a hole then?" someone asked.


    Wu Mo answered their questions.


    "To ensure stability, we can only dig a hole to create a stable space below the horizon. I believe it''s the only way to prevent any idents at the Interster Teleportation Gate."


    "I see. But Mr. Wu, why don''t we dig a bigger hole and build a corridor or stairs like in a mall?" someone asked.


    Wu Mo immediately exined why it was not feasible.


    "If we do that, the air flow between the bottom and the outside will increase. As a result, we''ll achieve the opposite effect instead."


    "I see, Mr. Wu. I understand now!"


    Everyone finally understood Wu Mo''s true intentions.


    With that, they began building the second Interster Teleportation Gate.


    The next moment was crucial. They would test whether the teleportation gate was effective.


    At this moment, all the Chinese researchers and military representatives on the base were very nervous.


    If the portal worked, then a technological breakthrough would be upon them!


    Once that happened, people would be able to use the teleportation gate to instantly reach Eternal Sun.


    The distance between the twos would no longer exist.


    This was a great achievement that could not be described or praised with words¡­


    One of the researchers was lucky enough to be the first test subject.


    When he first received this mission, he was in disbelief.


    Filled with hope, he took a deep breath of fresh air and resolutely opened the gate on the base. Everyone watched him closely as he carried their hopes with him.


    Under Wu Mo''s instructions, the stargate instantly released a strong electromaic force. Electric currents jumped in the air and caused subtle changes.


    As expected, the other side of the door shone with electromaic light. It broke the peace of space and changed the structure of the force field. The flow of time also fluctuated.


    Under this strange power, the bending of time and the nodes of space looked like a big mouth.


    It instantly devoured this brave man and made him disappear from everyone''s sight.


    "Look! He actually disappeared?"


    "Oh, my God! This is like magic!"


    Everyone was shocked by this scene. They were dumbfounded. They could not believe their eyes.


    Afterwards, they all turned to look at the oasis on the.


    At that moment, the teleportation gate in the deep pit of the oasis quietly opened.


    The researcher walked out with a confused expression.


    "I... What did I experience?"


    He found it unbelievable.


    In just three short seconds, he had teleported from Earth to Eternal Sun. Light speed was like a snail in front of this speed.


    "Unbelievable! We''ve seeded! The teleportation gate is actually effective?"


    An officer could not help but m the table and stand up.


    The military was also under immense pressure.


    They had to protect the entire starry sky. If they could really realize the teleportation gate, then their mission would be much easier.


    If anything happened on Eternal Sun, they would be able to send reinforcements immediately.


    Not only that, the space war was no longer a problem.


    With just one portal, the alliance''s mutual assistance would be more effective.

 Chapter 678 Armored Battleship

    <h4>Chapter 678 Armored Battleship</h4>


    "Mr. Wu, the portal has been proven to be effective. We can make this news public now, but we need your consent. Do you have any suggestions?"


    The officer asked Wu Mo about it, and Wu Mo had no objections.


    He knew that the existence of the Interster Teleportation Gate would be discovered sooner orter, so it didn''t matter if he made it public.


    Moreover, he was most concerned about those advanced spaceships.


    "Alright, Mr. Wu, we''ll announce this news to the world now!"


    Sure enough, not long after, China held a press conference and invited reporters from all over the world.


    These reporters rushed over with apprehension. They guessed that China was about to announce some important news.


    A senior officer presided over the meeting. He slowly said, "Please look at these pictures!"


    A series of photos appeared on the big screen.


    Some were close-ups of the stargate, and some were the surprised expressions of the researcher when he walked out of the portal.


    All the reporters were confused. They did not understand what these pictures meant.


    Obviously, it was difficult to understand this thing from a single point of view.


    However, it would be different if there was a video!


    Then, the officer snapped his fingers. Then, the people or things on the screen began to slowly distort. After that, they disappeared through the stargate.


    Immediately, his gaze was drawn to Eternal Sun. All living things returned to their original state.


    "What? How is this possible?"


    This live stream shocked the audience all over the world.


    "That''s impossible. Is China ying a big illusion for us to see?"


    Such doubts sounded, and people sighed at China''s generosity. They actually did not hesitate to spend a huge sum of money to organize this performance?


    Then, Huaxia released a bunch of data about the space portal, including its size and functions.


    At this moment, everyone finally understood.


    Huaxia Base wasn''t ying any big tricks. It was real!


    "Ah, the Interster Teleportation Gate... It could send anyone and anything to Eternal Sun in a short two to three seconds, and it could even teleport in both directions!"


    Everyone gasped when they saw this sentence, and it immediately caused amotion!


    People all over the world were discussing this Interster Teleportation Gate.


    Everyone realized the importance of this matter. It was unbelievable that such a magical thing had really appeared in the world!


    "Oh, my God. An Interster Teleportation Gate? Isn''t this something that only existed in movies?"


    "That''s right. It only appears in movies. How can it really appear in reality?"


    "Wait! I think China is too arrogant. They might just be using this as a gimmick to lure people into investing!"


    Suspicion, emotion, support, people''s reactions were all different.


    But no one could stop the progress of the n.


    Regardless of whether they believed it or not, the news conference was over and the Interster Teleportation Gate was right in front of them. They had to believe it.


    At this moment, there were already quite a few people who had directly made their way to Eternal Sun through the teleportation gate.


    This scene made everyone''s hearts tremble!


    "Look¡­ Someone else was teleported over!"


    At this moment, several top researchers were testing the space portal repeatedly to see if it was stable.


    Every experiment was like dealing with the Grim Reaper, and Wu Mo couldn''t help but feel worried.


    Once something went wrong with the Interster Teleportation Gate, the person being teleported might disappear into the boundless universe.


    But the good news was that the sess rate of the portal was a hundred percent. Wu Mo was finally relieved.


    The Interster Teleportation Gate had undoubtedly brought great convenience to everyone!


    Wu Mo could foresee that there would be arge number of talents attracted by this teleportation gate in the future, choosing to develop on Eternal Sun.


    At that time, Eternal Sun would experience a second explosive growth.


    "Oh, super supply ship?"


    Wu Mo looked at the spaceship options. There were more than fifty types of spaceships for him to choose from.


    Spaceships of various sizes, functions, attributes, and the price required were all avable.


    At this moment, Wu Mo had a special liking for a super supply ship.


    This was a type of logistics spaceship that could achieve fixed speed refuelling in the air and provide long-distance underground services.


    With such a spaceship, the entire fleet could fly freely in the universe without any worries!


    However, this kind of fixed speed was useless to Wu Mo.


    This was because the current spaceships were all propelled by antimatter devices and did not require fuel.


    Even so, Wu Mo could still see the uniqueness of this spaceship.


    Therefore, he bought three ships at once without hesitation.


    Please do not misunderstand. Three ships is not a small number.


    These spaceships were huge, enough to provide daily supplies for more than sixty spaceships.


    "Oh, looks like there''s such an intelligence-gathering spaceship¡­"


    Wu Mo discovered another type of spaceship.


    As the name suggested, this kind of spaceship was used to gather intelligence.


    The size of this intelligence spaceship was surprisingly small, which surprised Wu Mo.


    This spaceship was more like a drone. It could maintain a stable flight path during long-distance flights and continuously collect information.


    Wu Mo felt that this was somewhat unbelievable.


    However, the importance of intelligence gathering was undeniable.


    Therefore, Wu Mo immediately chose to buy it. This intelligence spaceship was extremely cost-effective.


    Buying one didn''t cost too many points.


    Thus, he bought dozens of intelligence spaceships.


    In the future space battlefield, whether it was offense or defense, gathering information was very important.


    Wu Mo was overwhelmed by the variety of spaceships.


    He saw a spaceship called the armored battleship.


    As the name suggested, this kind of spaceship was probably a defensive spaceship used in battles.


    Wu Mo found it a little funny. Wasn''t the spaceship used forbat?


    Why was there a spaceship that was born to be attacked?


    But when he saw the appearance of the warship, he was shocked.


    This kind of sturdy armor warship was more like a huge iron shield.


    This shield actually had aplete operating system and cockpit.


    The defensive capabilities of this spaceship were extremely strong. After the simtion, Wu Mo was speechless.


    "Wow, this ship can withstand the attacks of ten top-tierbat spaceships andst for an hour?"


    Wu Mo did not hesitate to buy it.


    No matter how many enemies there were, they would not be able to break through. They might even die of depression.


    "Ten ships!"


    Wu Mo decided to buy it.


    Then, he chose a few more offensive spaceships.


    He realized that he had spent almost all the points.


    However, the most important thing was that his current three potions and the previous five potions were very popr around the world.


    However, Wu Mo still had a bold idea in his mind.


    If he could enter a civilized world that was on par with or even lower than his own civilization, would he be able to sell these potions to them?


    Would they get the same return if they sold it to aliens?


    At this moment, the fluctuations brought by the Interster Teleportation Gate had yet to subside.


    The leaders of many countries within the Alliance sent a request to China.


    They hoped to use the portal to transport their country''s key talents to the.


    As their spaceship technology was extremely basic, they were unable to effectively send arge number of talents up.


    Therefore, they wanted to find a shortcut.


    However, this required the consent of China, because the only portal was in China''s hands.

 Chapter 679 Heaven-Defying Invention

    "Sending yourself to the border of the sea of stars isn''t as cheap as you think."


    This sentence came from the military representative who was in charge of receiving them. He told the leaders of the countries in front of him truthfully.


    When they heard this, their faces tensed up.


    They knew that the use of the Interster Teleportation Gate was not cheap.


    However, at this moment, an indescribable uneasiness rose in their hearts.


    "As a member of theary Alliance, we are also working hard for the development of Eternal Sun. Can''t we enjoy some special treatment?"


    This request came from a confident national leader.


    "Haha. Do you know how hard it was to build this space portal? Do you know how much effort our chief engineer, Mr. Wu, spent on this? Do you understand how advanced this technology is?"


    The military representative''s series of sharp questions made the other national leaders speechless.


    When he revealed the price of a teleportation, gasps of shock rang out throughout the entire venue.


    "What?! Each teleportation costs fifty million? And only five people can teleport at a time?!" someonewho could not ept the price shouted.


    "Haha. Yes, it costs fifty million. If you think it''s expensive, you can take a spaceship and fly to your destination slowly. China isn''t nning on giving you free service..."


    This was China''s decision. This attitude stemmed from the betrayal of some countries during the Dark Star incident.


    China was no longer polite to these countries.


    He would not let those cklisted people enjoy any of China''s benefits.


    This was something that Wu Mo had emphasized.


    Helpless, some countries could only bear to pay this fee.


    This was so that they could send their top talents to Eternal Sun as soon as possible and avoid the dangers of space travel.


    When the time for teleportation arrived, everyone stared at this scene nervously.


    They were afraid that something unexpected would happen.


    This was because the people they sent over were all top talents in various fields.


    For example, top engineers in the construction field, top scientists in the biological science field, and so on.


    All of them had gone to Eternal Sun for long-term projects for their own countries.


    Their mission was important; there was no room for error.


    Then, all of a sudden, the electronic device of the portal started to work.


    It was as if a huge ck mouth had swallowed them whole.


    Only when they saw the people from their own country disappear into the portal.


    The leaders of every country were holding their breaths tightly.


    However, a few secondster, the teleportation gate on the other side of the starry sky opened.


    Only when the talents walked out did they heave a sigh of relief.


    "This teleportation gate is heaven-defying. It''s safe, effective, and fast!"


    Everyone sighed.


    Thus, everyone forgot about the high cost of the teleportation gate and chose to apply to use it.


    However, the Interster Teleportation Gate couldn''t serve them endlessly.


    There was a ten-hour cooldown time after each teleportation, which caused these countries to start fighting over it.


    "Everyone, stop arguing. We can draw lots to determine the order of teleportation."


    At this moment, Wu Mo also arrived at the venue.


    Everyone focused their eyes on him.


    They all knew that Wu Mo was the one who had designed the Interster Teleportation Gate.


    Hence, everyone followed Wu Mo''s suggestion and started drawing lots.


    The national leaders looked at the results of their lots and hoped that they could be better than others.


    When the final draw results were out, there seemed to be a duet of joy and sorrow.


    Everyone understood that the dozens of countries had to wait in line for the long twenty hours.


    The country behind him could only wait until the end of time.


    Therefore, if they could quickly send their country''s elites to their destination, they would be able to send them to their destination.


    This was undoubtedly a huge benefit.


    At this moment, the Interster Teleportation Gate was activated again. Like a magical key, it sent the second batch of talents to that new world.


    However, it was worth mentioning that each country could only send five people.


    This was also a severe test for the Interster Teleportation Gate.


    After all, Wu Mo wasn''t sure if he could send five people at the same time.


    Their previous experiment had only tested the teleportation of one person.


    "What? Why can''t he send five people over?"


    When the manager heard Wu Mo''s words, he was so shocked that he was speechless. His heart was filled with regret.


    "Oh, my God! I should have made a more careful decision earlier¡­ Is there still time to go back on my word?"


    However, there was no turning back. The few of them disappeared through the portal.


    A few secondster, everyone''s eyes were fixed on the other side.


    On the screen, they saw the portal in the oasis slowly opening.


    Five top-notch talents walked out from inside. Their faces were filled with confusion.


    "Haha! We''ve seeded! There was no mistake. I was almost scared to death!"


    The country''s leader patted his chest nervously. He was still uneasy.


    Wu Mo heaved a sigh of relief.


    Since they had seeded, it proved that the space teleportation gate was stable and effective. They no longer had to worry about safety.


    Then, the portal entered a cooldown period.


    However, to everyone''s surprise, China suddenly sent some construction professionals over.


    "Wait. What''s going on? Didn''t you say that there was an hour of cooldown? Why did you suddenly send someone over?"


    "Yes, it''s only been an hour. It should still be in the cooldown period!"


    "Is China lying to us? Is the ten-hour cooldown fake?"


    For a moment, everyone''s emotions were roused. They could not ept such a serious lie.


    Wu Mo had clearly stated that within the ten hour cooldown time, it was impossible for the interster gate to be activated again.


    However, only an hourter, the Chinese teleported over.


    Wasn''t this treating everyone as fools?


    However, Wu Mo responded to everyone''s questions with a tough attitude.


    "I''m sorry. The ten-hour cooldown is only applicable to you. In fact, it doesn''t need a cooldown. This is a special passage for us to send people to Eternal Sun!"


    What?


    This news shocked everyone.


    They didn''t expect Wu Mo to say such a thing.


    What could they do?


    They could only choose not to ept it, quit, or pay the fee and wait for the cooldown. What other choice did they have?


    Unless, they had the same spaceship technology as China.


    If he could ensure that he reached Eternal Sun safely, he would have to obediently pass through the teleportation gate.


    That way, he could minimize the number of idents, right?


    On the other hand, the opening of the teleportation gate allowed arge number of people to arrive on Eternal Sun.


    In that instant, Eternal Sun''s development advanced by leaps and bounds.


    Right now, Eternal Sun already had ten first-tier cities.


    These urban agglomerations had already been connected, but they avoided the treasure areas. The results were obvious.

 Chapter 680 The Furious Dark Starlings

    Eternal Sun could amodate up to a million people without any problems.


    More high-end facilities were also being developed.


    Just like Eternal Sun would have a standard of living that was even better than the human world within half a year.


    However, Wu Mo knew that this dream-like world could turn into ashes in an instant.


    The Dark Starlings had already reported back. This meant that their would send out warriors to conquer this new low-level civilization.


    Wu Mo pondered.


    "We must sessfully evolve to a Level 3 civilization within a month."


    At this moment, the whole world was frantically snapping up all kinds of potions. No one refused those miracle remedies.


    As the price of the potions dropped, everyone could afford them.


    The effects of the potions were reflected, whether in terms of IQ, EQ, physique, or lifespan.


    Even those who were disabled had received a huge improvement.


    Thus, everyone stood at a new starting point. The entire human race stepped onto a new stage.


    Wu Mo believed that humans were not inferior to the Dark Starlings in terms of physical fitness.


    However, Dark Star had a longer history of development. Its people might have mastered some advanced technology unknown to mankind.


    These advanced technologies were Dark Star''s final trump cards. That was the only problem humanity needed to be wary of.


    A month passed by. In that time, the city''s logistics facilities fully caught up.


    The city had reached an unprecedented level of prosperity. High-speed trains shuttled through the sky non-stop, while the environment on the ground was clean and bright.


    Everyone was happilypleting their respective tasks.


    The city''s energy was supplied by the nuclear reactor in the suburbs. This ensured that there was never a power cut.


    It was energy-saving and environmental friendly, which reduced a lot of burdens.


    At that moment, Wu Mo knew that mankind had sessfully entered a level 3 civilization.


    "Director Wu, you have contributed greatly to this historic improvement!"


    When Wu Mo announced that human civilization had entered Level 3, the people of theary Alliance cheered loudly.


    They were all proud of being a member of the human race. The progress of mankind was also their glory.


    His life now was worlds apart from a year ago.


    New technology had driven the rapid development of society, so people''s lives had undergone earth-shaking changes.


    The biological medicine developed by Wu Mo had changed people''s lives. Life was better.


    People no longer had the same burden, but mankind was about to face a new challenge.


    They had to work harder, or they might be abandoned by the times. The would not be able to keep up with the pace of the times.


    On this day, the Interster Teleportation Gate had already transported countless talents.


    Wu Mo took a nce and realized that one teleportation gate was far from enough.


    The queue had already formed a line that stretched one-month long!


    Wu Mo investigated it carefully. It turned out that some countries were greedy.


    If they bought the right to use it again and again, who said that they could not use it continuously?


    Besides, this kind of thing really made people feel ufortable.


    Therefore, Wu Mo knew that the other Interster Teleportation Gate could not be dyed.


    In the future world, if the conditions allowed, the more Interster Teleportation Gates there were, the better!


    "Looks like I have to settle the second door. I hope there will be some discounts?"


    Wu Mo thought to himself, ''Since I''m spending so much money to buy it twice, there should be a discount, right?''


    However, he felt helpless. This system was cold and heartless. It did not give him any benefits.


    If he wanted to buy the second space teleportation gate, the price would be the same as the first one. There would be no discounts!


    However, Wu Mo had no choice but to pay for the second door.


    Then, the second space portal was installed in the base.


    The other end was ced in thergest base on Eternal Sun.


    There was a dome protecting it and preventing it from being disturbed by spatial fluctuations. It was also very safe.


    When the second door was born, everyone was shocked!


    "Oh, my God! a second Interster Teleportation Gate?"


    "Hurry up, we have to buy the right to use it!"


    Thus, the leaders of various countries once again rushed to buy the second door.


    They all knew that China''s base was on the other side of the second space portal.


    The nearest few countries had the opportunity to directly enter the range of their base, which was much more convenient than staying in the oasis!


    Therefore, the sales of the second Interster Teleportation Gate even exceeded the sales of the first one.


    Seeing that everything was going smoothly, Wu Mo nodded in satisfaction.


    At this moment, he no longer studied the medicine in the biological field. Instead, he began to n his own spaceship n...


    On Wu Mo''s tactical blueprints, there were defensive ships, reconnaissance ships, and attack ships!


    At this moment, he still didn''t know how strong his spaceship fleet was.


    However, there was one thing he was very certain of. If the Dark Starlings dared to invade Eternal Sun again, he would be able to kill them.


    He would definitely show them what power was.


    This spaceship fleet was still named Mountain Sea, the upgraded version of the Mountain Sea Fleet.


    It would definitely leave a deep impression on all alien civilizations!


    However, if he encountered a powerful Level 2 civilization or a legendary Level 1 civilization, he would not be able to kill them.


    Wu Mo was truly not confident.


    It was said that those guys could enter the four-dimensional space. They were not in the same dimension at all. How could they fight?


    If they had hundreds of spaceships, but the enemy jumped into another dimension, all their attacks would miss.


    All spaceships were propelled by antimatter.


    They slowly advanced in the universe.


    It was almost impossible to see them in the darkness of space. They were scattered in a space station not far from Eternal Sun.


    At this moment, they still seemed to be in the vast universe. Time moved slowly as everyone silently waited.


    They wondered if Dark Star would send another army to invade.


    Then, Wu Mo discovered that things had gotten worse!


    As expected, Dark Star had sent out an entire fleet of spaceships.


    In the distant starry sky, there were more than thirty Dark Star spaceships. This represented nearly half of Dark Star''sbat power.


    The Dark Starlings had sent arge number of troops to conquer Eternal Sun and Earth.


    It fully demonstrated their serious attitude towards this operation.


    They had been severely injured by humans many times, but they knew nothing about the specific situation.


    This time, the Dark Star general''s report revealed everything.


    A primitive civilized had actually defeated their people.


    This caused the Dark Starlings to be filled with rage. Hence, they gathered a powerful force and decided to conquer this starry sky.


    A fleet of Dark Star spaceships. Among them was amand ship. The passengers were the high-rankingmanders of Dark Star.


    They stared ahead as mes of revenge filled their eyes.


    "Our warship was destroyed by a from a low-level civilization. This is an intolerable humiliation!" a Dark Starlingroared angrily.


    Their humiliation was as deep as the bottom of the sea. They were filled with anger.


    They decided to destroy all the creatures on this and establish their own colony here.


    "Destroy everything and leave no regrets!" a Dark Starling ordered.


    The thirty plus Dark Star ships reached the speed of light and arrived near Eternal Sun in the blink of an eye.


    War was about to begin. Wu Mo understood that the decisive battle between humanity and Dark Star could no longer be avoided.


    The rtionship between this and humans was like fire and water. They were the destined enemies of mankind.


    "Come, I''ll make you remember this battle for the rest of your lives!"

 Chapter 681 Dark Star’s Revenge

    <h4>Chapter 681 Dark Star''s Revenge</h4>


    Wu Mo was full of confidence.


    He could sense that although the thirty Dark Star battleships were powerful.


    However, they did not surpass the previous ten battleships by much.


    Wu Mo was sure that he could go up against this team.


    All of humanity was on tenterhooks. They knew that the alien civilization had not stopped. It had even sent dozens of spaceships to attack them.


    "My God, this is like an alien spaceship team in a science fiction movie. Can we beat them?"


    "This is like Star Wars. I''m deeply worried about the survival of our human race..."


    "What''s the use of worrying? Anyway, this kind of thing depends on China. To be specific, it depends on Mr. Wu!"


    At this moment, the top pilots of the space shuttle piloting school were all ready to pilot the warship into space at any time.


    The battle this time was even more dangerous than before.


    It was arge-scale interster war. Their lives were on the line.


    "Are you afraid?" An instructor held back the tears in his eyes and asked his students who were preparing to leave.


    "Sir, we''re not afraid!" they answered firmly and sincerely.


    They stayed under Wu Mo''s encouragement. Those who hesitated had already left.


    These students knew their mission. They were willing to carry it out.


    This meant that they were unyielding and willing to sacrifice themselves for mankind.


    This kind of spirit was so selfless that it moved people deeply.


    The instructor could no longer speak. He was so touched that he almost choked.


    Other than these outstanding spaceship pilots, the mech piloting school also sent out a batch of mech pilots.


    They would be piloting the closebat mech that Wu Mo had meticulously designed.


    They went deep into the battleship and remained on standby. They were ready to engage in a fierce battle with Dark Star''s mechanical beasts at any time.


    The technological strength of the Dark Starlings was not bad. The mechanical beasts they developed were very powerful.


    It was a critical moment for these pilots.


    They would pilot mechs and fight the mechanical beasts!


    "Everyone, stay alert at all times! Our mission this time requires you to remember your responsibilities. Think about why the school has trained you so hard. Now it''s time to ept the results. Now, go forth, warriors!" an instructor said?affectionately.


    After these warriors left, he rubbed the corner of his eyes with heartache.


    He had done his best to nurture these students. They were now valuable members of society.


    In the face of the imminent life-and-death battle, these students were about to go to the front line. As their instructor, the sadness in his heart was indescribable.


    Simr scenes could be seen everywhere in China. Everyone was willing to contribute to this war.


    If they were qualified, no one would choose to retreat.


    On the other hand, those who were timid and afraid of trouble shrank back. They dared not say a word.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, thirty Dark Star spaceships have entered our attack range. We await you orders!"


    An urgent message came from the base on Eternal Sun.


    Wu Mo sat in themand room and looked at the information on the screen. He knew that this was the best time to strike.


    However, he decided to gather more information before taking action.


    "Send out a scout ship and check what''s behind their fleet to see if there are any other methods of ambush," Wu Mo ordered.


    As soon as he finished speaking, a few small reconnaissance ships immediately flew out of the space base and disappeared into the darkness ahead.


    "This is amazing. Not only can they block radar signals, but they can even disappear from sight!"


    When the other persons-in-charge of theary Alliance saw this scene, they were all shocked.


    After a while, the scout ship returned sessfully with important information.


    Within ten light-years behind these thirty Dark Star spaceships, there were no other spaceships waiting for them.


    This meant that these thirty spaceships were the main force of this invasion.


    "Alright. Let''s hit them hard! "Wu Mo decisively gave the order.


    Battleships flew out from the space base one after another and headed toward the battlefield.


    Not long after, eighteen new battleships lined up and charged forward.


    They were white and blue in color. They also had smooth lines and a futuristic design.


    The strength of the humans was on full disy at this moment. They turned into sharp swords that were about to sh the Dark Starlings.


    "There''s a problem. Look! What''s that?"


    Everyone in the Dark Star fleet also noticed the situation.


    A magnificent scene appeared before their eyes as eighteen Chinese ships proudly flew into the distance.


    "Hmph! These primitive fellows actually created so many spaceships.


    "And this batch seems to be of a higher level?"


    In themand center, all the Dark Starlings were shocked by this scene.


    They already knew what kind of strength the Chinese spaceships had.


    However, the spaceship in front of him was clearly of a higher grade than those.


    "Let us teach these primitive fellows how big the gap between us is!" a Dark Starling roared.


    The Dark Starlings despised this primitive civilization from the bottom of their hearts.


    They decided to use wave after wave of bombs topletely destroy the humans'' spaceships!


    Rumble...


    Terrifying explosions sounded one after another. As such, the light from the explosions illuminated the dark universe.


    At this moment, the began to shake, and war officially began. Everyone on Eternal Sun was shocked!


    For those who didn''t know anything, their jaws were about to drop.


    As for those who knew the inside story, their expressions were firm, but their hearts were filled with worry.


    "Look! Our pilots have taken off!"


    The young pilots piloted their spaceships and headed toward the battlefield. They were ready to enter the fray.


    Apart from automated spaceships, human-piloted spaceships were absolutely indispensable!


    After all, at the critical moment, only humans could react and achieve unexpected results. This was something that an automated spaceship could not achieve.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, the other side''s spaceship has already started to attack. Should we open up the distance or fight directly?" a deputymander asked urgently.


    Wu Mo ordered without hesitation, "Attack from the front. Use the automatic spaceships as the defense line. The armored spaceships will protect the two wings. The attack spaceships will stay at the back."


    Following Wu Mo''s series of nervousmands, every organization in front of them quickly moved.


    The Interster War had officially begun!


    A ship rushed out from the t spaceship fleet. It was prepared tounch a frontal assault.


    Their spaceship was extremely strong.


    They were also confident that they could smash China''s spaceship into pieces!


    "Come on, guys from the primitive civilization, we look forward to your performance!"


    Every operator on the t spaceship rushed forward excitedly.


    Of course, they didn''t intend to use the most primitive way of fighting.


    At a distance of about one thousand kilometers, they immediatelyunched a terrifying sma beam explosion!

 Chapter 682 The Dark Star Generals Choice

    "Is that so? Since you guys used sma beam so quickly, then try our Ring Annihtion Ray!"


    In themand center, Wu Mo and a few other officers sneered when they saw this scene.


    They had already experienced the power of the sma beam explosion.


    He had thought that he could break through the protective shield, but in the end, he returned empty-handed.


    Therefore, when the legendary sma ray burst was shattered, no one was afraid of it anymore.


    The rays from both sides shot out in a frenzy and interweaved into a sea of fire in the air.


    Asteroid after asteroid shattered and disappeared!


    Some asteroids were also pushed out of their trajectories. They were sted into pieces by the rays.


    This moment was extremely terrifying. The entire dark universe became colorful.


    If such arge amount of energynded on any, it could turn that ce into hell.


    The first round of battle between the two sides could be said to be a draw!


    Although the destructive power of the Ring Annihtion Ray surpassed that of the sma beam explosion, it was still not enough.


    Wu Mo had to admit that there was a new breakthrough in the control technology of the Dark Star spaceship.


    They cleverly used their skillful operation skills to avoid the attacks of many Ring Annihtion Rays.


    They kept their distance effortlessly and calmly watched the battle.


    "This isn''t right. Would a low-level civilization have such power? It looks like a Ring Annihtion Ray!"


    However, some Dark Starlings eventually noticed that things were not going well.


    After they observed the situation, they quickly decided to adjust their strategy.


    "If that''s the case! Then let''s defeat them with Cosmic Ray sts!"


    At this moment, a Dark Starling in the mainmand room gave the order without hesitation.


    The moment its words came out, all the Dark Starlings present could not help but tremble!


    There was no doubt that a Cosmic Ray st was an extremely terrifying attack. Its power was ranked second in the entire universe.


    It should be made clear that Cosmic Ray sts were not things that could be used casually.


    Once activated, it meant life and death. They had to go all out!


    This was because using this explosion of rays consumed a lot of energy.


    Even the consumption of dark matter and antimatter was difficult to deal with.


    Every time they released a Cosmic Ray st, the cost and consumption of his body was extremely huge.


    However, at this moment, a Dark Star general had already given the order, and his subordinates could only obediently carry it out.


    It was important to understand that the status of this Dark Star general waspletely different from that of the general with the golden hat.


    Strictly speaking, this general could be considered an outstanding military leader on Dark Star!


    It was also an important member of the ruling ss of Dark Star.


    The general with the golden hat from before could only be considered a small warlord at most.


    At this moment, a Cosmic Ray st wasunched by two spaceships.


    This was because the energy provided by a spaceship was not enough to release such a powerful ray explosion.


    The two spaceships joined forces and slowly spun a terrifying ray in the void.


    Immediately after, the surrounding light gathered violently. Then, it was sealed in a ck device!


    The satellites in front of Wu Mo captured this scene, and he felt his heart beating violently.


    "This is bad. They''re definitely going tounch an extremely terrifying cosmic ray. It''s probably more powerful than our Ring Annihtion Rays! Armored battleships, defensive positions, now!" Wu Mo ordered.


    Fortunately, the front battleships reacted quickly and immediately closed in from two sides.


    The ten armored battleships shielded theba like a magnificent city wall. They formed an indestructible defensive barrier!


    "Do you think you can block the Cosmic Ray st with a barrier like that? How ridiculous!"


    Seeing this, the Dark Stalings allughed. Their faces were filled with contempt.


    After a short period of charging, cosmic rays sted out from the ck device!


    Rumble...


    The scene in front of him could not be described with words.


    Everyone could only see the most terrifying rays shing across the starry sky.


    They even turned into afterimages. Everything happened so quickly that it was almost impossible to catch!


    By the time they disappeared, everyone wondered if something had really flown past.


    The cosmic rays exploded and hit the battleships.


    Boom!


    Sparks flew everywhere in the starry sky, and pieces of ck fragments flew out in all directions.


    However, when the dust settled, the Dark Starlings were greatly shocked!


    Only three of the original ten battleships suffered fatal attacks.


    The other seven were still undamaged and floating quietly in the same spot.


    Theywas like an insurmountable chasm that made people flinch!


    "Wait! These spaceships are unaffected by our Cosmic Ray st. What''s going on?"


    The Dark Starlings were forced to be careful with every step they took. This was clearly beyond theirprehension.


    The scene they had expected was the steel ship on Eternal Sun facing the Cosmic Ray st.


    It should have directly turned into stardust without any resistance.


    However, the development of the situation hadpletely overturned their expectations!


    "This is not good. These spaceships appear to be their main defense. Their armor seems to be made of at least tenyers of alloy! Furthermore, they have all kinds ofplicated anti-heat, anti-cold, and anti-shock systems. We would need at least three waves of our Cosmic Ray sts to damage them!" a soldier from Dark Star reported. Its expression was extremely solemn.


    Launching three Cosmic Ray sts sounded simple.


    But in reality, it was extremely difficult to do because every Cosmic Ray st could drain all the energy in their thirty battleships!


    If the remaining energy was used up too much, then the thirty battleships might not have a chance to return.


    The worst-case scenario was that they would be forced tond on Eternal Sun and bembs waiting to be ughtered.


    Thus, the Dark Star general was faced with a difficult choice.


    Should it continue to use the Cosmic Ray st, or should it retreat immediately and slowly find a new countermeasure?


    "Mr. Wu, good news. Look! Our steel ship sessfully blocked their attack!"


    An officer beside him raised his arms and shouted excitedly. His entire body was filled with enthusiasm.


    Without a doubt, this was an unexpected situation.


    However, everyone was so excited that it was as if they had been injected with chicken blood!


    After all, the Cosmic Ray st was ranked second in the universe.


    Any spaceship from any civilization would be destroyed if it were to encounter such a beam attack!


    However, it was shocking that seven of their steel battleships actually managed to survive.


    ''That''s great. Our steel giant ships aren''t expensive, but they''re so effective. It looks like we should purchase more of these giant ships!'' Wu Mo thought to himself.


    He nned to purchase steel battleships in bulk.


    In addition, the scouting ship was also great.


    There were more than fifty types of spaceships in the entire system, and each of them had their own unique characteristics.


    Among these, the steel giant ship and the scouting spaceship were undoubtedly the two most outstanding!


    At this moment, the Dark Starlingsunched another round of attacks.


    They gave up on the Cosmic Ray st and switched to sma beam bursts. They surrounded and attacked their enemy. They would change ces with every shot.


    Then, the five spaceships formed a total of four groups before they continued their rampage!

 Chapter 683 A Request for Help From Another Country

    <h4>Chapter 683 A Request for Help From Another Country</h4>


    Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!


    However, these sporadic attacks were equivalent to mosquito bites on a. They had no effect at all.


    As time passed, the Dark Starlings gradually realized how powerful the dome was. They could not help but frown.


    "Wait, General! Our intelligence didn''t mention that there was such a powerful defense device here!"


    If Wu Mo found out that the general with the gold hat had not reported information regarding the dome device, he would probablyugh his head off.


    That Dark Star general was really too ipetent. How could he forget to report such important information?


    This caused the current general to frown and stare at the dome device in front of it.


    Then, it suddenly realized that something was wrong.


    "Wait. Look over there!"


    Suddenly, a Dark Star spaceshipunched a sma beam explosion.


    Just a few hundred meters away, the Dark Starlings suddenly opened fire on the dome.


    However, the dome stood still. There was no movement at all, let alone obvious vibrations!


    This undoubtedly revealed a cruel truth.


    Even the sma beam explosion could not cause any damage to this top-tier shield.


    "Impossible, how could such a backward have such advanced protective equipment? Perhaps the only way to break it is to use a Cosmic Ray st?"


    One of the general''s assistants was dumbfounded and shocked.


    However, the Dark Star general''s anger finally erupted!


    "You bunch of idiots! You''re all ignorant!" he shouted.


    "Huh? What do you mean, General?"


    The Dark Starlings who were being reprimanded were all confused.


    The Dark Star general''s gaze was cold and sharp. His killing intent was apparent too. "Do you still think that this is a backward civilization? Listen here. They''ve already advanced to Level 3. They''re no different from us!"


    "What? A Level 3 civilization!"


    Everyone was shocked by this news. They began to ponder.


    Was that true?


    With such an advanced city cluster, powerful protective equipment, and powerful fleets, how were they any different from other Level 3 civilizations?


    The direction of their development was just different from that of Dark Star. In terms of civilization level, the two were actually on par.


    If one had topare, Dark Star''s civilization had a longer history, so its people had umted more knowledge!


    "Remember that we''re not invading a low-level civilization. We''re engaging in a fair struggle with an equal civilization for survival!" the Dark Star general said calmly.


    This opened up a new perspective for all the Dark Starlings.


    In themand center, Wu Mo and the othermanders were calmly analyzing the current situation.


    Wu Mo saw something that surprised him. The five Dark Star ships suddenly changed directions and flew toward another location on Eternal Sun!


    "Oh, are they going to attack the bases that aren''t protected?"


    Wu Mo immediately realized that these spaceships must have obtained important information.


    There were two treasurednds that were not within the protection range!


    However, this was not Wu Mo''s fault.


    Thesends had been discovered by countries that stubbornly wanted to upy them.


    They were not covered by the protective dome, so they were the most dangerous ces on the.


    Finally, their national leaders made a call!


    "China, please help us."


    However, it was already toote.


    If they had called half an hour ago, Wu Mo might have been moved enough to spend some points on an expansion of the protective device.


    Of course, this was not free. They had to pay a certain price for it!


    Unfortunately, even if they paid the price now, they would not be saved.


    It was toote to act at this point!


    "I''m sorry," Wu Mo replied. "The time for rescue has passed. You can only pray now!"


    One of the national leaders fell into despair.


    He held his head with both hands and stared at the image on the screen¡­


    Their base on Eternal Sun had been heavily damaged!


    Boom! Boom!


    A few spaceships flew above the base and fired terrifying rays of guided missiles.


    For a moment, the entire base was filled with smoke.


    Fortunately, the people had already received the news and entered the bomb shelter in advance to avoid a devastating blow.


    However, the treasure trove soon entered the pilot''s field of vision.


    "Haha! A rare ore mine. This is really a big harvest! We''ve found new property!"


    With their impable logic, a group of Dark Starlings took the two gold mines for themselves without hesitation.


    They were equipped with a huge digging machine.


    This machine seemed to possess endless power. It could cut arge gold mine into pieces.


    Then, he forcefully transported it back to the spaceship''s storage room.


    In front of everyone, their undisguised actions made Wu Mo''s face turn ashen.


    "We can''t let them take the gold mine!"


    "Yes, Mr. Wu!"


    After receiving Wu Mo''s orders, the Shanhai Spaceship team quickly dispatched eightbat spaceships and headed straight for the target.


    Then, an intense battle erupted!


    The eight battleships instantly released fatal rays that shot toward the Dark Star spaceships.


    The Dark Starlings were busy collecting gold ores. They did not expect Wu Mo to notice this.


    They did not expect him to attack.


    Thus, they were caught off guard!


    Bang!


    A spaceship that was collecting gold ore was unable to dodge in time. As such, it was instantly turned into a fireball.


    The Dark Starlings on the ship were also turned into ashes.


    "D*mn it. They actually blew up one of our spaceships!"


    At this moment, the news reached the main spaceship, and the Dark Star general was instantly enraged.


    "Send out all the battleships and beat them senseless!"


    At this moment, the Dark Star general decided to fight Wu Mo.


    The remaining twenty-nine spaceships attacked the dome without any regard for anything else.


    All the destructive rays were concentrated at a single point as they mercilessly charged forward!


    Rumble!


    A weak spot on the dome looked like it was about to break. It made Wu Mo nervous.


    "Mr. Wu, will the dome device break?" a nearby officer asked.


    He was trying to get an answer from Wu Mo''s expression.


    Wu Mo gently shook his head and said, "Don''t worry. Not only will the dome not break, but it will also give them a big surprise!"


    Hearing Wu Mo''s words, everyone calmed down.


    Then, all the spaceships attacked the dome device crazily. As a result, the dome device started to change shape.


    It looked like the dome was about to break.


    The people on China''s base screamed in fear.


    As if they couldn''t stay there any longer, they started to seek shelter.


    "Run! It''s over! Find a ce to hide!"


    At this moment, people began to panic. They fled in all directions because they could not bear to see the terrifying scene.


    However, the dome device began to counterattack!


    Boom! Boom!


    Green balls of light suddenly formed on the surface.


    One after another, they flew out and ruthlessly smashed into Dark Star''s spaceships.

 Chapter 684 Suicide Attack

    <h4>Chapter 684 Suicide Attack</h4>


    "Armored battleships, seal off their escape route immediately. Scout spaceships, cover them. All pilots, begin the clean-up operation now!"


    All the spaceships began to move under Wu Mo''smand.


    The armored battleships appeared behind the Dark Starlings like a wall. They sealed off the aliens'' path of retreat and trapped them like animals.


    On the other side, the scout spaceships continued their attacks!


    The pilots'' blood was boiling. They piloted the spaceship close to the enemy and continuouslyunched ray attacks.


    At this moment, the battle reached its climax!


    These young pilots were very skilled. They gathered their strength and destroyed the two Dark Star spaceships without hesitation.


    Two fireballs fell from the sky, and the Dark Star general''s eyes instantly burned with fury.


    He immediately gave the order to deploy more spaceships.


    At the same time, the other Dark Star spaceships attempted to break through the defensive line of the armored battleships.


    However, this line of defense was indestructible. It could withstand the power of?Cosmic Ray st.


    Unless the Dark Starlings were willing to unleash three Cosmic Ray sts at once, they would not be able topletely destroy the armored battleship.


    "Haha! Mr. Wu, we did it! We''ve beaten the Dark Starlings. Now, we''re the only once left to fight for the world!" an officer beside him announced excitedly.


    At this moment, the active attack system on the dome was firing at full force.


    The green balls of lightning caused these Dark Star Spaceships to be helpless and in a sorry state.


    "This is only the most basic defensive method. Next, we will locate the target of the Dark Star and directly march into the Dark Star. We will make them pay the price for their actions!"


    Wu Mo muttered to himself as he stared at the chaotic scene on the screen.


    Everyone who heard his words was stunned.


    "Oh, from what Mr. Wu said¡­Are we entering the era of interster conquest?"


    This battle was about toe to an end. Dark Star''s spaceships had suffered heavy losses, and eighteen of their thirty spaceships had already been destroyed.


    The remaining twelve spaceships gathered together, trying to block the fierce firepower from the humans.


    At this moment, the Dark Star general made a crazy decision.


    "Charge at them, break through their encirclement, self-destruct, and perish together with them!"


    Hearing the Dark Star general''s words, the surrounding people were stunned.


    Everyone was carefully studying the general''s face, trying to find a trace of unreality in his expression.


    However, they were disappointed because this general really wanted to do it.


    "General! Self-destruct, then our people..."


    An assistant next to him said in a trembling voice, but he was interrupted before he could finish.


    "Ha, do you still care about your lives at this time? This civilization wants to destroy us. If we don''t use a suicide attack, all of us will die here today!"


    The Dark Star general gritted his teeth and said these words.


    Thus, these subordinates could only helplessly obey orders.


    Then, they used some method to select a few warriors who were determined to fight to the death to lead the charge.


    The Dark Star people were quite aware of their situation. In a life and death situation, they were not afraid. Instead, they took the lead and charged towards China.


    "Not good, the pilots are in danger. Retreat immediately and let them pass!"


    Wu Mo immediately issued such an order to ensure the safety of the pilot.


    However, when the pilots received the news, it was already toote!


    The speed of the Dark Star Spaceship was extremely fast. Not only did they want to retreat, but they also wanted to cause harm to the humans.


    "Hehe, it''s toote to escape now!"


    The Dark Star people''s faces were filled with malevolence and a cruel smile.


    They first fired a terrifying sma beam explosion, turning two human spaceships into two fireballs.


    When Wu Mo designed the spaceship, he had already considered all sorts of safety factors.


    Once the spaceship caught fire, the automatic fire extinguishing device in the spaceship would be activated immediately.


    The high-temperature fire-resistant material would ensure the safety of the pilot inside the ship.


    Even though the spaceship had suffered a terrible blow that almost disintegrated.


    A small rescue boat would still light up the pilot''s return journey.


    Theynded gently among the stars.


    He was like a leisurely traveler flying in the sky, heading towards the predetermined satellite.


    But now, an ion beam explosion had enveloped and disintegrated the entire spaceship through the means of electron beams.


    It brought immeasurable danger to the pilot.


    "Escort battleships, cover immediately! The pilots had to evacuate quickly! Attack ships, close in on the enemy ships and prepare to attack!"


    Under Wu Mo''s sharpmand, the situation instantly became much calmer.


    However, within the main ship, General Dark Star seemed to be staring coldly at Wu Mo through the endless gxy.


    Under the bright light of the screen, Wu Mo''s gaze shed with General Dark Star''s!


    Wu Mo''s heart raced. Could this monster locate him from such a distance?


    This was impossible! His eyes weren''t like the cosmic long-range reconnaissance satellites!


    He shook his head and dispelled this thought, focusing on the screen again.


    Everyone was so nervous that they were on tenterhooks, afraid that something would happen to the pilots!


    "They are the treasures of humanity. We must not lose them!"


    Amander could not help but shout, his face full of worry.


    At this moment, that crazy Dark Star General actually gave an order in cold blood:


    "You guys, go! st the creatures on those spaceships into ashes!"


    After hearing the order, three of the Dark Star people revealed looks of despair.


    However, their eyes were firm as they drove the spaceship toward the pilots.


    "Oh no! What were they trying to do? Could it be that he wanted to die together with her?"


    The pilots in the cabin were shocked speechless.


    They had not expected these Dark Star people to be so crazy!


    Wu Mo naturally noticed this situation and took a deep breath for these youngsters.


    "Not good, retreat quickly! Retreat quickly!"


    Wu Mo was practically roaring. The veins on his neck were bulging as he shouted with all his might.


    He shouted himself hoarse and his eyes were wide open. The people in themand center were equally frightened.


    Cold sweat broke out on everyone''s faces!


    Those who knew the inside story, such as the teachers, were equally worried.


    These students were their pride. They had put in all their effort to nurture them, hoping that they could bring glory to the country and win dignity for mankind!


    Now, in the depths of the universe, they were bravely fighting against these aliens and had almostpleted their mission.


    However, when they were ready to return victorious, they encountered the self-destructive behavior of these crazy aliens.


    "How did this happen?"


    The officer beside him also punched the table hard, trembling in anger.


    At this moment, it was useless to say more. Everything on the screen could not be changed.


    A Dark Star spaceship was the first to crash into the humanbat spaceship!


    The two spaceships were so fast and huge that even rocks would instantly turn into powder after experiencing a rapid collision.


    All sorts of electromaic equipment in the spaceship exploded at this moment, and two green mes became the only color on the screen.

 Chapter 685 Would Rather Die Than Retreat

    <h4>Chapter 685 Would Rather Die Than Retreat</h4>


    Silence. The entiremand center fell into a dead silence.


    After an unknown period of time, a crisp voice sounded.


    It was the sound of someone clenching their fists and cracking their knuckles.


    Then, Wu Mo''s cold voice echoed throughout themand center.


    It was as if he was announcing it to all mankind and himself.


    "Our future is destined to be a hot-blooded battle in the gxy! The most important thing was to suppress Dark Star''s arrogance and achieve the unification of the Star System!"


    Wu Mo''s ambition shook the hearts of all the listeners, and their bodies trembled uncontrobly.


    In the depths of their hearts, it was as if they could see an illusion.


    From then on, humans would no longer be passively beaten. Instead, they would take a brave step forward and wave their fists in challenge.


    Next, China''s base would gather the mental power of humans.


    Lead our most advanced technology and ride a battleship towards the Dark Star that has invaded our territory many times!


    This was because Wu Mo had decided to let these aliens experience true pain.


    Therefore, from this moment on, Wu Mopletely overturned his previous defensive strategy.


    He decided tounch arge-scale spaceship modification operation. He would gather all the battleships andbine them into an undefeatable army.


    However, this was only the n in front of Wu Mo. On the screen, tragedy was still ying out.


    "Danger! We have to retreat quickly! Captain!"


    The young man in the cockpit was screaming crazily through the inte.


    His voice was almost hoarse.


    However, his captain still stood guard at the front line, blocking all the attacks from the Dark Star.


    "No! I''m the captain. I''ve led you in training at school. You have to retreat first. I''ll protect you!"


    Although the captain was the oldest, he was actually only around thirty years old.


    This was because the students in the entire driving training school were very young. The average age was only 22 years old.


    The captain''s eyes were firm and determined. He stood at the front line and kept firing at the enemy.


    They attempted to attract the attention of the Dark Star Battleship.


    Behind him, the pilots were filled with despair and pain.


    It was as if they were about to be tortured by life until they could not breathe.


    "No, Captain. If we die, we die together!"


    The two spaceships flew past the captain, trying to fight side by side with the captain and face the predicament together.


    However, the captain''s voice rang out. "B*stard! I''m the captain! Are you not going to listen to my orders? What''s the most important thing for a soldier? Obey!"


    His stern reprimand left the two young men speechless and they hurriedly retreated.


    The captain''s roar made them tremble all over, forcing them to retreat reluctantly.


    Themand center was deathly silent.


    Wu Mo''s eyes narrowed slightly. Even he was deeply shocked.


    He hated himself for not being able to make a move at this moment.


    This was because the Dark Star people had actually vited the most basic principle of living creatures-to pursue benefits and avoid harm.


    No life was willing to die.


    However, the current Dark Star people were extremely crazy. They were willing to sacrifice their lives to bring the same amount of pain to mankind.


    When that crazy Dark Star person saw this scene, he actually startedughing loudly.


    "Hahaha, you want to fight back? Against us? Now you finally know what pain is!"


    Clearly, these Dark Star people did not understand what pain was.


    Perhaps they did not have such feelings in their hearts at all.


    They only knew how to obey orders unconditionally.


    At this moment, the captain was fearless. He decided to sacrifice himself to protect the others.


    He gritted his teeth and cursed fiercely. Then, he elerated the spaceship and rushed forward.


    Hepleted a beautiful tail flick.


    This caused the flying ship to turn from a straight path to a horizontal path, blocking the path of the two Dark Star spaceships.


    "No, I can''t!"


    The Dark Star people did not expect this.


    This person actually dared to block them one-on-two.


    However, they could no longer change their flight trajectories, so the three spaceships collided from three directions.


    Boom!


    Dazzling sunlight burst out in the starry sky of the universe.


    Everything turned into nothingness in an instant. The violent explosion created an illusion in people''s eyes.


    Time seemed to have stopped, and everything became clear again.


    The remaining Dark Star spaceships had long since disappeared into the depths of the universe without a trace.


    They used three Dark Star spaceships to shatter the void like a phoenix in mes.


    It took away theughter of mankind and left only unforgettable pain.


    Then, they disappeared into the sea of stars like dust in the wind.


    The human pilot in the warship had a cold expression and a dull gaze as he stared at everything.


    After a while, tears fell like pearls.


    "Captain!"


    A group of young faces shouted in low voices, as if they wanted to make a name for themselves in this boundless starry sky.


    To awaken their captain who was sleeping in the cold world.


    "End the battle and return to your posts immediately!"


    Wu Mo gave the order and found that his voice had be hoarse as if it had been honed by sand and stones.


    The battle was over. The bloody battle between humans and extraterrestrial creatures would be recorded in history.


    This battle hadpletely awakened the humans.


    Wu Mo knew that any defense was meaningless.


    The strongest defense was offense. This ancient truth was once again verified.


    Although they had won this battle, no one could feel the joy of victory.


    Everyone was staring in silence. Battleships, armor-armored warships, reconnaissance ships, and so on returned one after another.


    If they didn''t return to Eternal Sun, they would return to the human base.


    The group of people quickly walked into themand center and arrived at the emergency meeting room.


    The high-ranking officials had all arrived, and Wu Mo stood at the side with a cold expression.


    "Everyone! China has defeated a high-level alien civilization in this battle. You are all heroes of this battle. On behalf of my superiors, I would like to express my appreciation for your hard work!"


    Hearing the high-ranking official''s words, the people below were speechless.


    Wu Mo was silent. No one thought that this victory was glorious.


    On the contrary, the human pilots who sacrificed their lives were heartbroken.


    "I know." The old chief heaved a long sigh and said, "I know that the sacrifice of these young people makes our hearts ache. But we should learn from this painful experience and improve ourbat strength as soon as possible to prepare for more challenges!"


    Wu Mo suddenly stood up and looked at the old chief with burning eyes.


    "Chief, I''d like to set up a project. I want to form the Invincible Space Team!"


    Invincible Space Team?


    Hearing Wu Mo''s words, everyone was shocked.


    Just hearing this name, it was as if one felt a pressure that soared into the clouds!


    "Wu Mo, you can''t y around with the words ''Invincible Space Squad!" the old chief said earnestly.


    He did not object to this n.


    However, the Invincible Space Team needed to be supported by true strength, not just its name!


    Wu Mo nodded. "Chief, please hand this project over to me. I guarantee that within a month, I will be able to build an invincible fleet that can travel thirty light-years across space!"


    What the hell?!


    Thirty light-years?


    All the officers'' hearts trembled.


    The area was so vast that it included both Garod and Motoro.


    Now, did China dare to im to be invincible before theses?

 Chapter 686 The Fleeting Ghost

    <h4>Chapter 686 The Fleeting Ghost</h4>


    "Don''t worry, Chief. I''m willing to make a military pledge!"


    Wu Mo''s expression was still calm, but the determination in his eyes was like a raging fire, burning more and more fiercely.


    "Good! Wu Mo, I have confidence in you. I''ll leave the establishment of the Invincible Space Team[1] to you!"


    Not only did the boss see Wu Mo''s blood boiling and determination, but he also saw Wu Mo''s determination.


    And he knew that this was not a promise that came out of impulse without thinking.


    This was because Wu Mo had indestructible confidence and strength!


    If even Wu Mo was not qualified to say such a thing, then no one else would be able to say it.


    After the closing meeting, the project known as the overlord of the stars was quicklyunched.


    The military''s publicity made the name of this project famous all over the world!


    In an instant, everyone around the world knew that China was building a team that could sweep across thirty light-years.


    In an instant, all kinds ofments and discussions flooded in¡­


    "Isn''t China''s pace too big? If they want to be invincible within thirty light-years, that''s a bit too bold!"


    "Indeed! Although China is strong, won''t there be a with a Level 2 civilization within thirty light years? Can China still im to be invincible then?"


    "Sigh. Athough China is a big shot on our, the goal they set is too big. We shouldn''t set high hopes for it¡­"


    Not a single country in the global alliance had optimistic expectations for China.


    They all thought that Wu Mo''s proposal to establish the Invincible Space Team was clearly too idealistic.


    At this time, the protagonist of the incident, Wu Mo, checked the sales of the nine potions on China''s official website.


    As expected, the sales of the potions were in full swing, and it was enthusiastically sought after by the entire poption!


    However, the next step was for Wu Mo to bring the glory of the nine great potions to Dark Star.


    It would allow the people of Dark Star to experience the powerful impact of China''s technological civilization.


    Wu Mo knew that the following days would be extremely bitter and painful, but he was already prepared to deal with it.


    He called Shen Qingya first, then his parents.


    After hanging up the phone, he began to cultivate in seclusion.


    He looked up super attack spaceships, all kinds of models, shelf life, and so on!


    Shelf life didn''t refer to a spaceship expiring or losing its effectiveness after the time had passed.


    Instead, the spaceship had a price protection effect within the shelf life.


    In other words, the price of the spaceship wouldn''t be affected at all during this period of time.


    However, once the shelf life was over, there was no guarantee.


    Therefore, this severely tested Wu Mo''s ability to allocate resources.


    After a period of selection and decision-making, Wu Mo decided to invest more effort into the offensive ships, creating more types of ships!


    "Multi-warhead sma explosion spacecraft?!"


    Wu Mo''s gaze was suddenly attracted by a new type of attack spaceship.


    In the military system, such spaceships often appeared unexpectedly.


    However, it only existed for six hours.


    If no one paid attention to it, it would disappear immediately, and it was unknown whether it would appear again.


    Now that Wu Mo had discovered such a spaceship, he naturally wouldn''t let it go!


    Imagine what a magnificent scene it would be if ten sma beams were shot at the same time.


    Without hesitation, Wu Mo immediately clicked on the purchase button and bought ten ships at once.


    In terms of battle-type spaceships, not only did they need high-firepower spaceships, but they also needed fast and agile battleships!


    This was because there were many simrities between a space battle and and battle.


    At the beginning of the war, not only must they engage in a frontal battle of firepower.


    Most of the time, they had tounch attacks from the side and carry out multiple encirclement and weakening before they could achieve the final fatal blow.


    Following that, another spaceship appeared in Wu Mo''s line of sight.


    The Fleeting Ghost!


    "Wait, the Fleeting Ghost?"


    Wu Mo''s mind shed.


    The speed and stealth ability of this spaceship sounded astonishing.


    He then went deeper into the real-time simtion yback and performance parameters interface.


    As expected, he found that the Fleeting Ghost was just as its name suggested.


    It moved quickly in the vast space of the universe and left behind a ghostly afterimage!


    What was even more amazing was that it was equipped with the most advanced 360-degree conversion system without dy.


    This meant that only a Level 2 civilization could possess such advanced technology.


    It was able to move seamlessly in the universe, at least visually.


    It could change its position freely from any angle within a range of 360 degrees!


    Imagine a huge spaceship that could flip freely like a little bug. It was simply incredible!


    "This is really good. I have to buy dozens of them!"


    Wu Mo did not hesitate to purchase arge number of the Fleeting Ghost. He also added other types of spaceships.


    In his fleet chart, Wu Mo had purchased at least ten types of attack spaceships.


    Then, he strengthened the mysterious spaceship and the reconnaissance spaceship.


    In addition, he added a new type of reconnaissance spaceship. This spaceship was very small, only the size of an ordinary helicopter.


    However, in space, its flexibility, sensors, and signal spread range were extremely powerful.


    Therefore, Wu Mo liked it very much and immediately bought twenty ships.


    With this, Wu Mo''s Invincible Space Team had taken shape, and it contained more than a hundred spaceships.


    The overall strength of this team hadpletely surpassed a Level 3 civilization.


    In Wu Mo''s expectations, there would not be any problem for him to fight against Dark Star!


    He had also specially prepared a super high-tech spaceship. This spaceship was evenrger than arge aircraft carrier and could carry at least five hundred mechs.


    When theynded on Dark Star, these mechs were able to concentrate their attacks!


    Of course, the construction of the Invincible Space Team was not done overnight.


    It was only the initial establishment, and there would be continuous replenishment in the future.


    However, Wu Mo was very satisfied with the current situation!


    What Wu Mo didn''t know was that a huge storm had already started outside.


    The name, "Invincible Space Team," had already spread like wildfire around the world.


    Movies, television dramas, novels, and other forms of entertainment all used this as a theme.


    The name was almost ruined.


    On this day, Wu Mo walked out of the base and officially announced the establishment of the Invincible Space Team.


    The next step was to start a war in space within a month.


    The first battle was against humanity''s mortal enemy, Dark Star.


    This would be an epoch-making battle in human history.


    This battle would be broadcasted live across the entire and the twos. It was created by Wu Mo!


    The moment the news was out, all the people mining on Eternal Sun were shocked.


    "Oh, my God! Earth hasn''t forgotten us. We''re not fighting alone!"


    Everyone was deeply moved by this news.


    They had been mining alone on Eternal Sun for so many years. It was extremely tiring and boring.


    Some people moved to Eternal Sun because they had been abandoned by society. Hence, they wanted to start a new life.


    They felt that they could start anew and cut off all contact with the past!


    They were deeply moved when they realized that the humans had not abandoned them.


    Everyone''s heart was touched, and tears flowed from the depths of their hearts.


    At this moment, many people silently experienced it.


    Fighting against alien invasions with mankind was so blissful and worth it.


    Everyone around the world was shocked by this moment!


    [1] Invincible Starry Sky Team changed to Invincible Space Team

 Chapter 687 The Horn Of Counterattack

    The live stream began.


    The poprity of the official website pushed the stream to one billion viewers.


    The craze was spreading at an rming rate.


    Even though many had not received the news, once people learned about it, the number of viewers would increase significantly.


    Viewers instantly flooded the live chat, and this posed a huge challenge to the live stream technology.


    However, it was not a big problem. Considering the current level of technology, the live broadcast technology would not be affected.


    At this moment, Wu Mo began tomand the entire Invincible Space Team to advance.


    It was worth noting that Wu Mo would not be able to issue orders from the safety of themand center like before.


    He had decided to go to the front line as well.


    When he first made the decision, all his subordinates advised him to reconsider!


    "Mr. Wu, you''re important to the whole of mankind. Nothing can happen to you. Please reconsider this! You''re being too reckless!" someone advised him affectionately.


    If anything happened to Wu Mo, what would happen?


    He was the greatest scientific genius of the century, even centuries. He was China''s treasure!


    However, Wu Mo firmly shook his head.


    "If I were tomand from themand center in the rear, although it would be fine, the people at the front line might not be able to sense our determination. At this moment, we must stand firmly by their side!"


    Hearing Wu Mo''s words, everyone was speechless.


    The officers immediately expressed their stance and decided to go to the front line with Wu Mo.


    "Mr. Wu! On the path of battle, as the representatives of the military, how can we retreat? If a researcher like you can move forward courageously, we should do the same!"


    Hearing these officers ''words, everyone fell silent.


    Wu Mo smiled and nodded. "Alright, then let''s go to the front line together!""


    Immediately after, a huge spaceship slowly rose into the air.


    Wu Mo and a group ofmanders were inside the ship, following the entire team slowly.


    This method could at least provide a certain degree of security.


    It wouldn''t be like what he had expected, where there was no guarantee of safety.


    Wu Mo and a group of military officers were in the mobilemand center, vigntly observing the movements in front of them.


    The entire Invincible Space Team was about to attack Dark Star at twice the speed of light.


    What needed to be noted was that¡­


    In interster space, speed wasn''t necessarily the best.


    Sometimes, being a little faster was not decisive.


    Dark Star''s coordinates were clearly disyed before them. Everyone could see it.


    At this moment, Wu Mo''s goal was very clear.


    He would first approach the Dark Star and thenunch a targeted attack to remove all of its external forces!


    Finally, they would send out mechas to engage in ground warfare. They had to takeplete control of this.


    However, Wu Mo did not n to destroy all the creatures on the.


    He just wanted to first remove the''s armed forces, then send people to guard and control the entire.


    Wu Mo''s fingers trembled slightly as he carried out all of this.


    All of this was too surreal and too advanced.


    Think about it. A year ago, could we dare to say that we could walk into the universe?


    Now we''re not just wandering around the edge of the universe.


    They actually had the courage to explore and conquers that did not belong to them.


    The entire universe''s audience was shocked. China was already far beyond their reach in this universepetition.


    While this emotion was still brewing, the feedback began.


    "Mr. Wu! Dark Star is ahead. It''s 0.015 light-years away. Please give us our n of action!"


    This distance was nothing in interster travel.


    Therefore, he requested for a quick n.


    Wu Mo muttered to himself for a moment before he calmly ordered, "Send out a spaceship for reconnaisance and see if these Dark Starlings have set up security around the area!"


    "Yes, Mr. Wu!"


    Thus, eight scouting spaceships charged out from the fleet.


    Like eight meteors, they disappeared into the deep night sky of the universe.


    In front of the live broadcast screen, all the viewers watched this scene and became nervous.


    They knew that this interster conflict was about to begin.


    And this time, we humans are the ones taking the initiative. We are going to announce our existence and evenpletely rule this alien!


    Not long after, eight reconnaissance spaceships sent back news.


    Roughly fifty thousand kilometers away from Dark Star''s atmosphere, ten Dark Star spaceships were floating in space.


    ording to observation, they changed shifts about once an hour, and there was a ten-minute gap between shifts.


    "Alright, this ten-minute gap is the best time for us to attack!"


    Wu Mo nodded.


    A sly smile shed across his eyes.


    At the same time, he was also very happy. The intelligence provided by these reconnaissance spaceships was too timely!


    If they didn''t have such urate information, they might have missed this opportunity.


    "Have all the fleets advance and stop at a hundred thousand kilometers!"


    Wu Mo sent out another order, setting a clear direction for the entire interster fleet.


    Then, at a distance of one hundred thousand kilometers, the fleet slowly stopped.


    Everyone was guessing why Wu Mo had parked his fleet at this location.


    However, only Wu Mo knew that the Invincible Space Team''s attacks were most effective within one hundred thousand kilometers.


    This included various types of battleships, scouting ships, the Fleeting Ghost, and so on.


    Their attacks were most effective within this range.


    There were even sma bomb spaceships that would be the main force of Wu Mo''s attack.


    For the enemy''s fifty thousand kilometers, one hundred thousands kilometers was the most advantageous attack range!


    Now, Wu Mo was prepared to send out two Fleeting Ghosts to harass them and test their reactions.


    These spaceships were all unmanned. Only the fifty piloted spaceships at the back had human pilots.


    This was also for these people.


    Wu Mo and a group of military officers stayed in the main spaceship and personally stood at the front line.


    Of course, this was very dangerous.


    Because no one knew what kind of idents would happen in an unfamiliar space.


    At that time, Wu Mo, who was several light years away, would not even be able to escape.


    However, Wu Mo had enough confidence in the Invincible Space Team that he had obtained from the Divine Military System.


    Through his choice and integration.


    This fleet had achieved the most optimal coordination, and there would definitely be no loopholes.


    Wu Mo was very confident about this.


    At this moment, two Fleeting Ghosts rushed out of the fleet and disappeared into space.


    A senior officer beside him could not help but say, "Mr. Wu, the Fleeting Ghost is really fast!"


    The other officer nodded.


    There was no doubt that the speed of this spaceship was beyond their imagination.


    The corners of Wu Mo''s mouth curled up, and his eyes shone brightly. "This is the power of the Fleeting Ghost. It can freely change its form and speed in the air. It''s the spearhead of our attack power."


    His words caused a certain hushed discussion among the officers.


    A strong sense of surprise rose in the hearts of everymander.


    The agile movements of the Fleeting Ghost in the air left them dumbstruck.


    This was simply beyond their understanding of such a spaceship.

 Chapter 688 The Invincible Team

    However, the real shock had just begun.


    They saw two Fleeting Ghosts breaking through the encirclement and entering the universe.


    Then, a deafening explosion sounded in his ears.


    Boom! Boom!


    Even though they were far away, they could still see the green and white spots of light flickering in the distance.


    It was a catastrophic explosion caused by intense high-temperature rays.


    Seeing this, everyone fell silent and stared at the screen.


    On the mainship, everyone, including Wu Mo, was shocked by this spectacr scene.


    Through satellite surveince.


    The audience could clearly see the two Fleeting Ghosts sessfully blowing up a Dark Star spaceship and then patrolling nearby.


    "Haha! He had seeded! We''ve finally counterattacked the Dark Star Spaceship!" an audience member shouted excitedly.


    His voice was filled with hope and confidence.


    This meant that the humans had truly begun to resist and saw the dawn of victory.


    It also proves that we are capable ofunching an offensive in the sea of stars to destroy other civilizations.


    At this moment, the entire Dark Star had descended into chaos.


    They did not understand why a spaceship from another civilization woulde to provoke them.


    "What''s going on? We''ve already destroyed Fita. Who could be so bold?"


    The Dark Star general was situated right in the middle of the chaos.


    It frowned and quickly sent out the detector to find the answer.


    Unfortunately, Wu Mo''s eyes locked on to them as soon as they reached fifty thousand kilometers in the air.


    Then, he coldly gave the order.


    "Let the Fleeting Ghosts carry out a suicide attack and let them taste real pain!"


    Wu Mo''s lips curled into a cold smile, his eyes filled with hatred.


    The two Fleeting Ghosts that received the order collided in the air.


    Rumble!


    Orange mes exploded in the darkness.


    The pilots of the two probe spaceships from Dark Star screamed in horror.


    Their voices echoed within Dark Star''smand center.


    Then, they turned into pieces in despair.


    The Dark Star general saw all of this and fell silent.


    "What is this? This spaceship is different from all the others I know of. I''ve never seen one like it within thirty light-years."


    The general carefully spected and tried to find out which civilization this spaceship belonged to.


    However, it could not figure it out because the Fleeting Ghost was something new that it did not understand at all.


    "Who thought of this?"


    The Dark Star general frowned. It did not realize that this was the same method it had used on the humans.


    Now, Wu Mo was giving it a taste of its own medicine, letting it taste true pain.


    When it realized that the situation was not good, the Dark Star general immediately activated some defensive measures.


    Twenty Dark Star spaceships rose into the sky from the dark.


    They entered space and formed an iron bucket formation, preparing for the uing battle.


    Wu Mo was no stranger to these twenty Dark Star spaceships.


    It was the invasion they had done on Eternal Sun


    He smiled and said, "Oh, it''s our old acquaintances. You haven''t changed to a new spaceship. It looks like you''re quite confident."


    The corners of his eyes lifted slightly, and his face was full of smiles, but it was difficult to hide the killing intent behind him.


    "Don''t hold back. Use all your strength to break their array and make them a mess!"


    As soon as Wu Mo finished speaking, ten dazzling sma beam spaceships slowly separated from his fleet and headed straight for the first line of defense.


    When the viewers of the live stream saw this scene, they held their breaths.


    He felt that everything was no longer going as smoothly as before.


    "Wait, what kind of spaceship is this? He had never seen it before!" someone muttered to himself.


    Everyone''s attention was drawn to the spaceships on the screen.


    It was as if he had seen a strange yet familiar scene.


    Suddenly, the ten sma beam ships started to fire.


    It was as if the heavens had descended on him, and there was no mercy at all.


    The cannon fire rained down, wave after wave, until ten rays were fired.


    The spaceship entered a short cooldown period.


    Every line of light exploded in the starry sky like a fireworks feast, brilliant and shocking.


    The ten spaceshipsunched at the same time, like a hundred rays of light shooting across the sky.


    Like a storm, it enveloped the twenty Dark Star spaceships in front of them.


    The audience eximed,


    "What kind of ship is this?"


    When the Dark Star general saw this, its eyes were filled with fear.


    The vibrations in the cabin grew louder and louder as a group of Dark Star leaders walked in.


    Looking at these people, the Dark Star general immediately lowered its head respectfully and reported the situation.


    They were the highest-ranking rulers of Dark Star. When they saw the battle situation, their expressions became very unpleasant.


    "The civilization of another is attacking us. Find out which it''s from!"


    One of the leaders of Dark Star spoke in their nativengugage in a low voice.


    "Respected leader, we are doing our best to resist, but we still don''t know which civilization our enemies are from!"


    The Dark Star general''s face was filled with shame.


    Their twenty ships had already been stopped in space.


    And they didn''t know where the enemy came from.


    "Could it be the remnants of Fita? However, we have alreadypletely destroyed their and turned it into our colony. There should be no survivors." A Dark Star leader pondered, and themand room fell silent.


    The unknown enemy was like a terrifying monster, making them feel even more terrified.


    Their hearts could not calm down.


    On the screen, the mes spread.


    Out of the original twenty Dark Star spaceships, only three remained, trembling as they maintained their flight capabilities.


    The other seventeen ships had already turned into fireballs and disappeared into the endless universe.


    "Look. This is the result of our technology, the highest power of our Level 3 civilization, but now it has be a pile of ruins. Is this how you protect the?" another Dark Star leader said coldly.


    "Please forgive me. I will order the warships to counterattack and let them have a taste of our firepower!"


    The Dark Star general immediately gave the order without hesitation.


    Its eyes were filled with deep anger.


    With lightning speed, they gathered their forces and urgently dispatched the attack spaceships from various bases.


    At this moment, the sma explosion spaceships of the Unrivalled Space Fleet disyed terrifying power. This scene made Wu Mo jump in excitement.


    "Haha, you finally know what true pain is!"


    Wu Moughed heartily. The unhappiness that had been suppressed in his chest these days finally had an outlet to vent.


    But this was far from enough.


    This was because Wu Mo knew very well that there were still forces on Dark Star that could stubbornly resist.


    Although the blow just now had given them some pain,


    However, it did not cause any substantial damage!


    At this moment, the people who saw all of this through the dual live broadcast system cheered excitedly.


    "Look, we can finally show our strength in the universe. This is no longer a dream!"


    "This is too shocking. This is too spectacr. Is this our invincible space fleet? Truly invincible!"


    "China has to remain vignt. Dark Star will definitelyunch a fierce counterattack. There will definitely be a shocking attack next¡­"


    Immediately after, arge ck shadow in the direction of the Dark Star appeared on the screen.

 Chapter 689 The Dark Starlings Are Completely Dumbfounded

    As expected, Dark Star''s battleships flew out one after another.


    These battleships were triangr in shape, simr to fighter jets, butrger in size.


    When they appeared in the starry sky, they immediately shot out rays that filled the sky and rushed over quickly.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The moment these rays came into contact with the ten-hair sma explosion ship, there were huge explosions.


    In space, fireballs exploded rapidly and fell into the abyss.


    At this moment, both sides had sent out their own offensive spaceships and started an intense battle!


    However, Wu Mo was not afraid at all, because he still had another trick up his sleeve.


    "Let''s see how you can break our formation."


    Wu Mo smiled coldly and sent out the armored battleships to block all the attacks from the Darkstar spaceships.


    Dong dong dong!


    The rays of the Dark Starlings hit the armored battleships, but they were unable to produce any effect.


    Even a powerful ray explosion could not destroy these spaceships in one go.


    Moreover, how could the enermy''s attacks hurt their battleship?


    "D*mn it! Which civilization is this? Have there ever been such spaceships?"


    At this moment, the Dark Star leader in themand room could not hold it in any longer.


    It wanted to figure out the other party''s identity.


    This was because such a civilization had suddenly appeared within the star cluster.


    They knew nothing about it. This was simply terrifying!


    The expression of the Dark Star general beside it waspletely frozen as if it had been electrocuted.


    Its eyes were wide open as it stared at the indestructible defense line formed by the armored warships on the screen.


    "How is that possible? It''s actually that low-level civilization. How could they have such a strong battle team?"


    Hearing the Dark Star general''s words, all the leaders could not help but frown and turn to look at it.


    The Dark Star general gulped and solemnly said, "Leaders, this teames from a that used to house a low-level civilization¡­


    "No! It''s more like they were from a low-level civilization.


    "But now, they''re a Level 3 civilization like us. They were not so powerful in the past!"


    "What? They went from being a low-level civilization to a civilization like ours, and they even have such a powerful battle team? How could they beat us up so badly?"


    The moment the Dark Star general spoke, the group leader''s heart was immediately filled with a deep sense of shame.


    It looked like a clown!


    "D*mn it! Mobilize the Destroyer Fleet. Catch them all in one fell swoop and throw them into the endless abyss of darkness!"


    The leader''s anger soared to the sky, and it screamed as if it had gone crazy.


    Upon hearing this, the Dark Star general''s entire body trembled as if it had been struck by lightning.


    The reason why the leaders of Dark Star could be addressed as leaders wasbecause their body structure waspletely different from others.


    Their bodies naturally carried a special ability.


    They were able to release a powerful electric current through their fingers!


    This was not the result of technology, but their bodies, which were like electric eels.


    They were equipped with many energy generating cells.


    When they were angry, they could release powerful electric currents that were enough to electrocute people.


    Seeing the Dark Star leader fly into a rage, the general immediately gave the order to mobilize the Destroyer Fleet to counterattack!


    The Destroyer Fleet was the king''s fleet.


    Their greatest achievement was destroying Fita!


    When the Destroyer Fleet arrived on Fita, the entire Fitan civilization was powerless to resist, and all its fleets were destroyed.


    From this, it could be seen how powerful the Destroyer Fleet was!


    At this moment, in order to show their determination, Dark Star had directly mobilized this terrifying fleet and prepared to counterattack.


    "Not good! Why do I feel the calm before the storm?"


    When Wu Mo saw this in themand ship, he instantly sensed a hint of conspiracy.


    Under such a powerful blow, Dark Star actually did not retaliate. This was extremely inconsistent with their logic.


    The starry sky was unusually quiet, but as people watched nervously, the changes were ever-changing!


    First, the two spaceships entered their sights.


    Then, the two spaceships separated from each other as if they were opening a path.


    Then, spaceships appeared one after another.


    Their speed was as fast as lightning, and their numbers were asrge as a river of carps!


    Not long after, a huge fleet of over a hundred ships appeared in front of Wu Mo and the others.


    "What?! There are so many spaceships. Is this Dark Star''s royal fleet?"


    At this moment, all themanders looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion.


    Obviously, they had never heard of Dark Star''s Destroyer Fleet or have any understanding of it.


    However, Wu Mo could tell that this fleet was extremely terrifying!


    "Everyone, take note. This might be Dark Star''s royal fleet, so we must be cautious."


    Wu Mo immediately reminded all themand systems.


    At this moment, everyone on the live broadcast screen became nervous.


    After all, this fleet from Dark Star was definitely extremely powerful, and the humans might not be a match for them!


    "We have to win. If we lose, Director Wu and ourmander might not be able toe back¡­"


    At this moment, all the Chinese viewers were the most worried.


    After all, the people who weremanding this interster war at the front line were all the most precious elites in China!


    This battle was of great importance, and he could not afford to make any mistakes.


    Even if they really lost, everyone had to return safely.


    Otherwise, they would really suffer heavy losses this time!


    "Primitive! Taste the terror of the Destroyer Fleet!"


    The Dark Star general had a sinister smile on its face as it coldly waved its hand and gave the order.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The Destroyer Fleet''s most powerful attack type spaceship immediately shot toward the Invincible Space Team like a sharp knife.


    At this moment, the battle began!


    Wu Mo''s expression was cold as he solemnly issued his military order.


    "Battleships, charge!


    "Fleeting Ghosts!" he roared. "Make trouble around them! Attack them with the ten sma sters!"


    Then, he continued tomand, "Spaceship pilots, stand by. Prepare for battle!"


    Eight different models of battleships quickly assembled following his orders. The battle had already begun.


    The waves of attacks from Dark Star shone on the armored battleships.


    However, most of the attacks were repelled.


    They even absorbed a portion of it.


    The remaining energy only slightly shook the distance and did not cause much damage.


    However, at the same time, the Fleeting Ghosts were exerting pressure on Dark Star''s Destroyer Fleet. This caused them to fall into a predicament.


    "How can these d*mn spaceships be so fast?"


    A soldier in the Dark Star spaceship looked at the Fleeting Ghost in front of it in shock.


    They quickly turned around and dodged the attack without any dy.


    It blinked. Was it an illusion?


    The Dark Starlings could not achieve such technology!


    However, this was not all. There were more shocking scenes waiting for him.


    A few Fleeting Ghosts did the same.


    Their huge bodies spun rapidly in the air and moved with agility.


    Even humans could not easily aplish these moves.


    Yet, the spaceships executed them wlessly, which was amazing.

 Chapter 690 Dawn Of Victory

    The battlefield was chaotic, but Wu Mo focused all of his strength.


    He was like an outstanding conductor. He easilymanded the "musicians" in his "orchestra."


    He ced each battleship in the best position as if they were about to ya beautiful symphony.


    A faint smile appeared on his face. The battlefield was filled with chaos, but he had already seen victory.


    "Mobilize twenty self-destructing spaceships immediately and let these Dark Starlings experience true pain!"


    He gave the order.


    From hismand post, twenty mysterious spaceships slowly flew out.


    Each ship carried arge amount of concentrated explosives. They were ready to release their power in an instant to blow everything up.


    The twenty self-destructing spaceships approached the enemy under the armored battleships'' cover, and Dark Star did not notice anything.


    Then, at the front of Dark Star''s Destroyer Fleet, explosions rang out continuously.


    That ear-piercing sound caused the leaders of Dark Star to take a step back in fear.


    "Heavens! What''s going on?"


    They stared at the screen.


    He saw ck spaceships rushing over one after another.


    They exploded again and again in the air without any hesitation.


    One of the leaders of Dark Star could not help but exim, "Do they want to die? A suicide attack simply puts themselves in danger!"


    However, he was wrong because there was no one in these spaceships. There was only a professional self-destruct system.


    "Haha! Look at this. How can Dark Star''s spaceship be a match for our self-destructing mechs!"


    In themand room of a spaceship, a soldierughed with pride. It swept away the gloominess of the past few days.


    His face was filled with the joy of victory.


    Wu Mo finally heaved a sigh of relief.


    ''Dark Star, have a taste of pain!''


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    The sound of the explosion continued to reverberate in the universe.


    Dark Star''s Destroyer Fleet realized this.


    They wanted to escape, but it was toote.


    "D*mn it! Retreat! Hurry up and retreat! These lunatics have actually chosen to perish together with us¡­"


    The Dark Starlings were bbergasted. The suicide attack was a move that would cut off all means of retreat.


    Generally speaking, the number of mechs that self-destructed were not supposed be too many. They just had to giva China the upperhand.


    However, China''s base had sent twenty self-destructing mechs into the battle at lightning speed. The energy produced was shocking.


    The thirty Dark Star spaceships before them instantly copsed.


    "This is bad. These lunatics have gonepletely crazy. Retreat quickly!"


    The order was swiftly given.


    However, the path of retreat for the Dark Star spaceships had already been sealed.


    They were surrounded by the Fleeting Ghosts from the side. The sma beam before them continued to shine, and it caused them to panic.


    Under the siege of many parties, their path of retreat became extremely difficult.


    Soon, all the self-destructing mechs arrived on the battlefield and began to self-destruct after they positioned themselves in a circle.


    It did not matter what kind of spaceship Dark Star had and which side they stood on. They would all be the victims of this self-destruction.


    "It''s over! It''spletely over!"


    The Dark Star general was currently seated on a chair.


    It felt as if its life force was being sucked away.


    Thirty Destroyer ships were all destroyed.


    Even though the Chinese side had also paid arge price in spaceships.


    However, a Dark Star leader was unable to withstand such damage.


    "B*stards! A bunch of useless creatures! Get lost!"


    When the Dark Star general heard the insults, it prepared to stand up. However, a powerful electric current entered its body through its finger.


    It instantly trembled and frothed at the mouth. Then, it fell headfirst and fell unconscious.


    Behind him, the Dark Star leader stopped releasing electricity and sat in the general''s chair.


    It took over themand of the battlefield.


    "Destroyer Fleet, all attack mechs, listen up. Line up and rush forward!"


    The Dark Star leader''s orders were extremely decisive, and it immediately ordered the soldiers to unleash a destructive attack.


    Dark Star had always been good at this strategy. They used it to destroy or rule over low-level civilizations.


    After the formation was in ce, the Dark Star spaceships pierced through the starry sky like dense lightning bolts.


    There were more than sixty ships in total, and they were the main force of the Destroyer Fleet.


    If these sixty-plus spaceships were destroyed, then the defensive strength of the entire Dark Star would be greatly reduced.


    "The opportunity hase! Everyone must leave these spaceships here. After that, we cannd!"


    Wu Mo''s voice rang out.


    Those in themand center started to get busy and n every step.


    The atmosphere in the live broadcast room was like a ball of fire. The audience from every corner of the two worlds understood it in their bones.


    The current plot was the prelude to a big show!


    What they saw was a group of Dark Star spaceships that stood tall under the starry sky.


    They were the backbone of the.


    As long as they could defeat them, the humans would be able to dere their victory.


    "Are you ready for your doomsday, bottom feeders?"


    The Dark Star leader waved its scepter and decided every battle situation.


    Its unyielding attitude led to the sixty spaceships getting ready and heading toward the battlefield.


    The spaceships were like giant beasts. The destructive beams they emitted tore through space mercilessly.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The speed of these light beams instantly broke through the shackles of light speed.


    Like a wild beast, it rammed into a battleship.


    The armored battleship was now like a broken pearl.


    However, it still protected the front line and constantly interfered with the enemy''s ns.


    Boom!


    In the end, the battleship was destroyed.


    That was because the three Dark Star spaceships had joined forces to release a powerful Cosmic Ray st!


    "My God, what the hell is this? Quickly, check it out!"


    When someone saw all of this, their curiosity immediately swelled, and they began to search for relevant information.


    When they learned that this was the second most powerful cosmic ray in the universe, everyone gasped.


    "My God! Is there really such a thing?!"


    Some astronomy enthusiasts felt that this was like a dream.


    Such a powerful ray was enough to instantly shatter a fallen.


    Now, it was actually happening in a battle between spaceships!


    However, when people saw that the armored battleship had actually withstood this kind of ray explosion¡­


    After the people recovered from their shock, they cheered.


    Everyone seemed to see the dawn of victory.


    This battle hadid the foundation for China''s victory.


    Even though the battle was not over yet, there was no doubt that the strength of the Dark Starlings was declining.


    However, just as the people cheered, the armored battleship shattered.


    All the Destroyer spaceships rushed into the battlefield, and a huge battle erupted.


    Everyone''s hearts instantly dropped as if they were riding a roller coaster.


    The scene on the screen left them with a lingering fear.


    Wu Mo saw that the chaotic situation had already taken shape. He immediately stood up and gave the order, "Attack from all sides!"


    Due to the chaotic situation, Wu Mo did not rx.


    He stared at the enemy spaceship that could shoot cosmic rays.


    This big ship was so powerful that it had to be taken seriously.

 Chapter 691 An Eye For An Eye

    "Pay attention to that Dark Star spaceship. It can still unleash a Cosmic Ray st. This battle is very crucial."


    With Wu Mo''s order, all the scouting spaceships and sensors were activated.


    He locked onto the distant Dark Star spaceship to prevent it fromunching a sneak attack.


    The chaotic battlefield already spanned tens of thousands of kilometers of the starry sky. Any ray attack in this ce would be detected by the Dark Starlings!


    At this moment, all the Dark Starlings were looking up at the sky.


    He found that the originally peaceful sky had turned into a huge turbine.


    Starlight sparkled continuously within, and there was also a low rumbling sound that could be heard clearly!


    At this moment.


    Just like Eternal Sun, Dark Star fell into panic.


    These Dark Starling who had lived in the starry universe for a long time suddenly felt such fear. Naturally, they could not withstand it.


    The panic intensified, like a child who had never experienced wind and rain.


    To suddenly walk out of the ivory tower and encounter a difficult blow was more serious than the average person.


    "Have everyone use their full strength to suppress them and use the spaceships to charge!" the Dark Star leader furiously ordered.


    It didn''t expect something like that in this interster war.


    Wu Momanded a fleet of spaceships, each of which could y their own unique roles and disy their own strengths.


    Through their close cooperation, they beat the Dark Starlings until they fled in a sorry state.


    The situation started to turn against the Dark Star leader. It quickly dispatched a heavily armored battleship.


    There were close to a hundred spaceships in total. It was trying to defeat Wu Mo with the human wave tactic.


    "Ha! This old tactic is a joke."


    Wu Mo shook his head as a cold light shed in his eyes.


    He had long since seen through Dark Star''s tactics.


    However, how could such a crude method defeat his invincible space fleet?


    "Dark Star, your glory has already be history. ept your fate!"


    Wu Mo said coldly.


    This sentence seemed to be announcing to the sky.


    His fleet had already be the protagonist of history.


    As for the once powerful Dark Star, it could only be sealed away and left the scene.


    Rumble¡­


    Large scale sma beam spaceships fired continuously.


    The firepower that poured down made it difficult for the Dark Starlings to breathe.


    "Leader, we can''t break through their blockade. The rear is already surrounded by their spaceships. These spaceships are too fast and too small."


    "What? What''s going on? When did they surround us?"


    The Dark Star leader panicked. They had been silently surrounded by Wu Mo.


    He had to make a decision immediately. Should he continue to charge or retreat immediately to protect the base camp?


    This decision was not easy to make.


    If it was not handled properly, it might lead to aplete annihtion.


    Even the powerful Dark Star leader had to think carefully at this moment.


    Its deputies were silent.


    It was obvious that they were not particrly talented in tactical adjustments. They could only rely on their leader''s judgment to decide their next move.


    "Let''s not talk about this for now. First, destroy the spaceship in front of us, then use the self-destruct method to kill a bloody path!"


    The leader, like their general, decided to use the most extreme method.


    It would detonate its own spaceship and create an escape route.


    They hoped to use this opportunity to break through the encirclement and escape the battlefield.


    "Hmph, you want to use suicidal methods to break through my encirclement? Alright, I''ll satisfy you!"


    Wu Mo smiled and waved his hand.


    Then, thirty self-destructing spaceships flew out again.


    That''s right, when Wu Mo formed the space fleet, he had foreseen this situation and had already prepared self-destructing spaceships.


    Not only did he want the Dark Starlings to experience pain, but he also expected them to use such cruel methods.


    This was exactly what he had nned.


    Self-destructing spaceships were meant to self-destruct.


    After all, this kind of spaceship was unmanned. Even if it was blown up, there was no need to feel regretful.


    However, the situation in Dark Star was different.


    When their spaceship self-destructed, there was a pilot inside.


    They werepletely sacrificing their own lives in exchange for the safety of others.


    When the pilots of the five Dark Star spaceships charged forward with determination in their eyes, they were suddenly terrified.


    "What''s going on?"


    The thirty self-destructing spaceships that Wu Mo had sent out were also charging toward them.


    At this moment, there was a vicious line of fire behind their stage.


    It stood there like a roaring dragon, as famous as a self-destructing spaceship!


    In other words, all they could do was destroy these self-destructing spaceships one by one.


    He could not truly cut open the path of flesh and blood.


    At this moment, bitterness was written all over the faces of every Dark Starling


    It was as if they had swallowed a mouthful of mud.


    In themand center, the tall leaders burst intoughter. They could not say a word!


    Boom! Boom!


    Just as they were confused, the spaceship in their line of sight suddenly collided violently and exploded into a ball of fire.


    The destructive power of the self-destructing spaceship was extremely terrifying. It instantly destroyed five Dark Star spaceships.


    However, there was still no breakthrough.


    "It''s those cunning spaceships again. They deliberately blew up ourrades!"


    In themand center, a wave of resentment suddenly rose, and the leaders began to curse.


    However, right after that, an endless sense of powerlessness surged out of their hearts!


    They realized that even if they were to bet their lives, they would not be able to break through this encirclement.


    It was as if their spaceship had fallen into a spiderweb, and they could only let the other party slowly wear it down!


    "This is bad. We have to take action immediately. The number of our spaceships has been halved!" aDark Starling said anxiously.


    At this moment, their number of spaceships was reduced by half.


    Wu Mo''s Unrivalled Starry Sky Fleet had also paid a huge price.


    However,pared to the Dark Star people, their situation was much better!


    When the people in the live broadcast room saw this situation, they immediately cheered like thunder and were extremely excited!


    They could foresee that mankind was about to win this tough battle!


    "Hahaha, we won! We really won!"


    Some people in the live broadcast room could not help butugh out loud. They were so excited that tears flowed down their faces.


    At this moment, it was heartbreaking and touching!


    From passive defense to gradual strengthening, and then to having the ability to protect themselves.


    Humans were actually able to take the initiative to attack in the end. The path of space warfare was really full of emotions!


    At this moment, Wu Mo was in high spirits. Sitting in the mainmand ship, he continuously issued emergency orders.


    In this special battle, hismanding ability was unparalleled.


    This was not a conventional war, but a star war!


    If one didn''t have a good understanding of the spaceship''s characteristics, they wouldn''t be able tomand such a battle.


    However, Wu Mo was calm and collected. He gave out orders step by step, and everything was in order.


    He saw that the number of Dark Star''s spaceships had already decreased.


    However, the main attack spaceships were still powerful, so they could not let their guard down.


    Wu Mo pondered for a moment.


    They directly sent out ten self-destructing spaceships and threw them at the enemy like human bombs!

 Chapter 692 Destroy All of Them!

    <h4>Chapter 692 Destroy All of Them!</h4>


    Boom! Boom!


    After these ten self-destructing spaceships were thrown out, the result was excellent. They directly blew up the Dark Star fleet, sending blood and flesh flying everywhere.


    The smoke from the explosion covered the sky.


    The electromaic interference caused themunication to be cut off, and the people of Dark Star were momentarily at a loss.


    At this moment, the beheading spaceship sent by Wu Mo attacked!


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The beheading spaceship was just as its name suggested. It was specially used for beheading.


    Although this kind of spaceship wasn''t big, it was equipped with all sorts of equipment.


    "Blow up their main ship and kill as many as you can!"


    Wu Mo said coldly. His tone was filled with killing intent, causing the other officers to exim in surprise.


    "Director Wu is murderous!"


    Everyone thought so in their hearts.


    If they could understand why Wu Mo wanted to start this interster war.


    Perhaps she would be able to understand his current emotions.


    The beheading spaceship that was like a ferocious beast directly charged over.


    It was as if a gust of wind had passed throughyers of dark clouds and descended on the body of the main spaceship.


    Then, like a ferocious beast pouncing on its prey, it ferociously charged forward!


    A series of sounds like a hammer hitting a steel te echoed throughout the ship.


    As the name suggested, the Beheading Spaceship had carved two deep trenches into Dark Star''smanding spaceships as soon as it entered the battlefield.


    At this moment, the hearts of the few Dark Star leaders in the spaceship were beating like thunder.


    The violent shaking made them totter.


    "This is impossible. How did their spaceship rush over? Quick, try to restart themunicationwork system immediately!"


    The Dark Star leader, who wasmanding this battle, instantly exploded as it roared.


    However, at this moment, an even worse situation appeared.


    Themunicationwork system had beenpletely paralyzed, and there was no hope of a restart!


    "It''s over. How can Imand without amunicationwork?!" the Dark Star leader roared.


    However, no one responded to his question.


    This was because his ability tomand was a notch higher than the others. At this moment, even he was helpless, so what could the others do?


    At this moment, the beheading spaceship charged over again!


    With a boom, the wings of the main spaceship werepletely cut off by the beheading spaceship.


    The spaceship that lost its bnce was like a top-heavy giant, falling to the side.


    Meanwhile, the Dark Star people in the spaceship were like rats that had slipped and fell. They clung tightly to the legs of the table beside them before barely managing to stabilize themselves!


    "Oh no! Their spaceships have already begun to attack us at close range. We have to find a way to escape as soon as possible!"


    At this moment, an assistant beside him hurriedly said.


    "Escape? I know I have to escape. Can you think of a way for me?!"


    The Dark Star leader was so anxious that it was furious.


    It suddenly wondered if it had let the Dark Star general takemand, the general might have been calmer?


    When it firstmanded, it looked mighty like a poisonous snake swallowing an elephant.


    However, the situation slowly turned bad.


    The enemy spaceships were like ferocious hunters, hunting them down one by one.


    They were cut into several pieces and finally formed an encirclement.


    This series of tactics hadpletely defeated him, a leader who did not have any professionalmanding skills.


    The Dark Star battle team had been almostpletely uprooted by it.


    In the end, in this chaotic situation, Wu Mo ordered all the spaceships to attack.


    "Charge! Destroy them all! Don''t let a single one go!"


    "Yes, Chief Engineer Wu!"


    All themand centers moved at the same time, and all thebat spaceships attacked at the same time.


    Once again, they destroyed thirty Dark Star spaceships.


    At this point, there were only about twenty flying ships left from Dark Star, and they were in a sorry state.


    Compared to the huge camp at the beginning, it had already lost its original glory.


    Dark Star''s spaceships immediately retreated, attempting to return to their home!


    At this moment, Wu Mo had set up three more obstacles. One blockade after another appeared.


    Only five of these twenty Dark Star Spaceships remained.


    Under the continuous attacks of the beheading spaceship, the main spaceship was shattered into pieces and almost fell into an endless ck hole.


    Fortunately, their enginepartment was quite sturdy.


    Otherwise, it would have beenpletely destroyed by the beheading spaceship just now!


    "How is this possible? How can we fail? How should we exin this to everyone?"


    At this moment, the leaders werepletely panicking.


    Even though they were the leaders, in the world of Dark Star.


    If your decision is wrong, the people of Dark Star below have the right to question it.


    They might even be deposed!


    At this moment, they returned to the with the result of failure.


    They were immediately controlled by the furious citizens of Dark Star.


    "Damn it! These useless people havepletely tricked us!"


    "Kill them, kill them!"


    "Quickly think of a way. That civilization has already begun to invade¡­"


    The shadow of chaos shrouded the dark star, and bits of brightness gradually lurked in people''s vision.


    The Invincible Space Team, personallymanded by Wu Mo, had already been activated. They tore apart the restraints of the atmosphere and were ready to enter this.


    This huge fleet of spaceships appeared in the sky like a steel dragon.


    The residents of Dark Star were all terrified.


    As the human army appeared, screams surged like a tide in the live stream.


    It was the jubtion of the humans on the twos. Tears flowed freely at this moment of excitement.


    This symbolized the beginning of a new chapter, and humanity was about to dere its sovereignty over the universe!


    To Dark Star, the remaining time was like sand flowing in an hourss.


    They had to find a way out in the crevice of time.


    He wanted to return the fire of life to a safe base camp as soon as possible and wait for the counterattack in the future.


    However, Wu Mo would not give them that chance.


    The main spaceship was like the sharp sword of the adjudicator. It appeared in the sky, which meant that the Invincible Space Team was already in full battle.


    "Bomb them! Bomb them as much as you want!"


    Wu Mo''s merciless order echoed in the hearts of the people, as if a bloody battlefield was reflected.


    The sma st that followed was like the scythe of the Grim Reaper.


    It destroyed all the buildings on the Dark Star, turning it into ruins.


    The screams of the residents of Dark Star reverberated across thend.


    They fled in fear, unable to forget the fear that the Fitans had once experienced.


    They had mocked the fate of the Flying Tower people in front of the screen.


    He fantasized about his glory of surpassing the civilized ss.


    Now, history was ying out once again, and the main characters this time were them.


    This seemed to be a merciless cycle of fate.


    "Damn it, we will die together with them!"


    A new batch of leaders from Dark Star stepped forward. They were made up ofmoners.


    They had decided to challenge the humans until they died.


    The earth shook like a giant drum.


    Wu Mo could clearly feel the unusual movement in the warehouse in the distance, as if something was about to stand out.


    The flying ship slowly descended in the air, and the main flying ship maintained a high altitude in the distance.


    Everyone waited quietly in the spaceship, their hearts filled with unknown nervousness.


    The battleships of the Invincible Space Team hovered at a low altitude, ready to hunt at any time like eagles.


    Suddenly, the huge warehouse door slowly opened.


    Rows ofbat equipment that looked like steel behemoths were moved out from inside.


    They were equipped with dark cannons and aimed at the humans.

 Chapter 693 Mech Army Attacks

    693 Mech Army Attacks


    As more devices appeared, the scene became extremely shocking. More than five hundred devices were ced in front of the humans.


    "You lowly ants! Go to hell!"


    Following the Dark Star leader''s order, all of the devices spewed out mes of fury.


    This was Dark Star''s final act of resistance. They were attempting to use these devices to have a showdown with the humans!


    When the people in the live broadcast room saw this scene, they could not help but feel a little nervous.


    Faced with such arge number of terrifying devices, their hearts were filled with unease.


    Because no one knew how powerful they were.


    The moment the device fired, people experienced its terror. It couldpletely destroy a civilization in an instant.


    The mes surged over like an ocean.


    However, the advantage in numbers had already formed a sea of fire that surged into the sky.Those who witnessed it trembled.


    On the other side, the divine shield warship hadnded safely. It was like a steel barrier that blocked all the mes.


    Looking at the scene before them, the Dark Starlings who were running around like headless flies were filled with despair.


    They stopped in their tracks, their eyes shining with hope. Would they be able to defeat this intruder?


    However, reality shattered their fantasies.


    Like a deer peeing on the ground in fear, they sped up their escape again.


    "How is this possible?"


    The Dark Star leaders were trapped in a quagmire of despair.


    However, one of the leaders suppressed the unwillingness in its heart.


    It gritted its teeth and roared, "Send out the mechanical army! Fight to the death!"


    An exotic mechanical army appeared at the end of their line of sight.


    At a nce, the members of this army were as numerous as the hairs on an ox, and there were many types.


    The familiar mechanical dogs were among them.


    There were even some mechanical monsters whose original forms could not be seen.


    They had amon characteristic, and that was that their entire bodies were made of precise machinery.


    Their agile appearance and flexible joints, as well as theirbat strength that could not be ignored, were enough to make people respect them.


    It was obvious at a nce that this legion had the ability topletely disintegrate an invincible fleet in the starry sky.


    "Mr. Wu, the strength of this mechanical army cannot be underestimated!"


    At this moment, a rather powerful officer with a slightly serious expression raised his doubts to Wu Mo.


    "Don''t worry, I''ve already foreseen this. For a highly developed civilization, how could they not have closebat abilities?"


    A confident smile appeared on Wu Mo''s face.


    He had already nned a strategy to deal with it.


    He waved his hand and ordered, "Mobilize the mech army and fight them!"


    Following Wu Mo''s order, the hatch of the spaceship opened.


    Mechs walked out of the room like slow moving beasts.


    Seeing this, all the viewers of the live stream instantly went into an uproar.


    "Haha. So, this is our invincible mech army?"


    "Amazing! This is really amazing! There must be more than a hundred mechs here!"


    "A hundred? You''re underestimating China too much. The news I received was that there were five hundred of these mechs!"


    That''s right. Five hundred mechs rushed out of the spaceship and formed a terrifying formation.


    They swept across the battlefield like a storm, and no Dark Starling could stop them.


    The Dark Star fighter jets that attempted tounch a surprise attack also exploded under their attacks.


    They turned into falling fireballs.


    They looked at the magnificent scene of the mech army.


    Wu Mo''s face was full of confidence, and themanders and officers around him were so excited that their faces were flushed.


    "Mr. Wu''s strategy has left a deep impression on me. He actually nned this long ago¡­"


    They could only praise Wu Mo.


    The mechanical army and the mech army had the same number of soldiers. They were all battle monsters made of steel.


    On this vast battlefield, they began an intense battle.


    Kill!


    The members of the mechanical army were all outstanding students who had graduated from mech schools.


    Their faces were filled with determination as they piloted their mechs fearlessly towards the front lines.


    Mechs were extremely agile. Compared to therge mechs of the mechanical army, they were better at closebat.


    Although their sizes were far apart, they disyed shockingbat power.


    The Dark Star people looked at the scene before them coldly.


    They hated the flexible mech that Wu Mo had developed.


    This was because they had suffered such a great loss on Eternal Sun.


    At that moment, the small-scale armor that Wu Mo had personally forged activated his extraordinary agility.


    The heavy artillery fire caused the mechanical army at the front line to fall one by one, and they were mercilessly defeated!


    Then, all the mechs charged forward with all their might.


    It was like crushing tofu. The mechanical monsters fell to the ground and turned into dust.


    Then, a chaotic scene appeared in front of them. All the mechs and mechanical monsters began to fight hand-to-hand!


    "Mr. Wu, we have begun to contain the situation. Shouldn''t we dispatch all these Dark Starlings next?"


    The officer''s tone was firm, and his eyes revealed a cold killing intent. He simted a throat-cutting action.


    Wu Mo only shook his head and replied with a smile, "There''s no need to do this. I have my own follow-up n."


    They could feel the breath of death approaching them¡­


    17:29


    "Oh, no! My Lord, there are two spaceships flying toward our base!"


    Looking at Wu Mo''s mysterious and unfathomable appearance, the officers immediately expressed their understanding.


    They knew that since Wu Mo had said so.


    He definitely had his own ns, so he naturally wouldn''t interfere.


    Moreover, Wu Mo was fully in charge of the space team''s mission this time. The old chief had personally dered it.


    The distant Dark Starlings were unable to leave this no matter how they tried to escape.


    Wu Mo had only destroyed their main city and did not attack any cities around the world.


    Due to the war''s destruction, the Dark Starlings had seemingly disappeared.


    However, Wu Mo knew that after the war ended.


    When they began to take over the Dark Star, these Dark Starlings would emerge like ants from their holes.


    They could not vite thews of the universe. If they wanted to survive in this world, they had to follow the rules.


    Otherwise, they would not have been able to reach their current level of development on this.


    The conflict between the two armies had already entered an incandescent stage!


    The legion of mechs also suffered losses, but every time a mech was severely damaged, Wu Mo would prioritize protecting the soldiers.


    He would immediately order the other mechs to cover them.


    Therefore, none of the pilots had been injured yet!


    Inparison, the mechanical army did not have such treatment.


    Many of the mechanical monsters among them were directly dismembered into pieces of metal and thrown into the sky. They painted a miserable picture!


    The number of mechanical armies rapidly decreased until only fifty machines were left to resist.


    "D*mn it. How did things turn out like this? The situation ispletely out of control. We have to think of a countermeasure!"


    At this moment, the Dark Star leaders who had stayed behind to give orders werepletely panicking.


    They could feel the breath of death approaching them¡­


    "Oh, no! My Lord, there are two spaceships flying toward our base!"


    "What?! The spaceship ising?"


    All the leaders were stunned when they heard their subordinate''s report.


    They thought that the base was safe, but they didn''t expect Wu Mo to find it.


    This was all thanks to the Invincible Space Team''s reconnaissance spaceships. They were unrivaled in terms of gathering information!


    The spaceships were fast, and there were many of them.

 Chapter 694 Conquering Dark Star

    694 Conquering Dark Star


    In less than half an hour, they expanded the search area to cover the entire and finally found the base camp.


    Then, they quickly sent two battleships over!


    "D*mn it! Activate the defense system!" aDark Starling hurriedly shouted.


    The others immediately activated their protective devices.


    Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!


    A protective shield formed by an electric appeared above the base and slowly expanded.


    It enveloped the entire base and protected it from attacks.


    Of course, the Dark Star naturally had its own defensive system, a protective barrier that was like the dome of the sky.


    However, this was to see if its resistance wasparable to the dome.


    That was an unknown mystery.


    Right at this moment, two battleships carrying shocking firepower ignited the mes of war.


    The sound of an explosion reverberated in space.


    The firepower of those starships was extremely fierce. Theyunched a fierce bombardment on the powerwork.


    However, despite the intense bombardment, the protective shield that was like a giant spider''s web was still strong.


    Although it was on the verge of copse, it still withstood the baptism of the artillery fire.


    "Haha. Come on, show me your strength! Can you prate our defensive barrier?"


    A group of Dark Starlingsughed smugly inside the barrier.


    They firmly believed that their protective shield was indestructible and able to withstand any kind of firepower.


    This also meant that people from more primitive civilizations would not pose any threat to them.


    When Wu Mo heard the news, he wore a cold smile.


    "Really? Do you think you can be safe just because you hide in your shell like a turtle? st it with the cosmic ray!"


    The Dark Starlings definitely never expected this.


    Wu Mo had also mastered the terrifying Cosmic Ray st technology.


    The Dark Starlings were not the only ones who knew about this attack method that was famous throughout the entire universe.


    Wu Mo knew how it worked too.


    However, just like the Dark Starlings, if Wu Mo and the others wanted tounch a Cosmic Ray st, they would pay a huge price.


    Once they unleashed it, at least ten spaceships would be unable to move for a short period of time.


    However, this was not important because the current situation was different from before!


    Now, they had sessfullynded on Dark Star and gained control of the battle.


    Even though he had sacrificed a few spaceships, Wu Mo was still confident that he could control the situation.


    Therefore, the ten spaceships joined forces andunched a Cosmic Ray st!


    Rumble¡­


    The strong reaction force of the Cosmic Ray st caused the entire ground to shake violently.


    Countless deep pits appeared on the surface of the earth, and mountains copsed. Rivers flowed like crazy and spread over the banks to form a monstrous torrent!


    At this moment, countless buildings on Dark Star were submerged by the flood. One could see how terrifying the power of the Cosmic Ray st was!


    The cosmic ray hit the protective shield fiercely.


    All the Dark Starlings were bbergasted. Their faces were filled with shock.


    Kacha!


    In the next moment, the protective shieldpletely shattered.


    The power of the Cosmic Ray st was like a pair of invisible giant hands. It tore the protective apart.


    "Kill them!"


    Wu Mo gave the order, and two spaceships immediately began to attack.


    "I surrender! I surrender! Please spare my life!" some Dark Starlings shouted in the humannguage.


    They were worried that if they shouted toote, they might be killed by the terrifying artillery shells.


    At this moment, a white g was slowly raised. It hung over the base and indicated that Dark Star hadpletely surrendered.


    "Mr. Wu, the leader of Dark Star has surrendered and raised the white g."


    "Hmm. It actually raised the white g? How interesting!"


    Wu Mo smiled as he listened to his subordinate''s report.


    He understood that these guys were already very familiar with thenguage and customs of human society.


    "Capture all of them and bring them to me!" he said with a wave of his hand.


    Not long after, the leaders of Dark Star were tied up tightly.


    Various special devices were used to secure them, and they were brought before Wu Mo.


    Wu Mo was unperturbed as he faced these aliens with faces full of hatred


    He walked forward and stretched out his hand. Someone immediately handed him an electromaic pistol.


    This electromaic pistol was a weapon that had been developed a long time ago.


    In his early years, Wu Mo used this pistol in his exams.


    It turned out that Wu Mo had once blown up a car with a single shot.


    It was an experience that shocked the judges who participated in the examination.


    Now, he was holding the same electromaic pistol.


    However, it was not for the assessment. It was to solve the problem that troubled him.


    Bang! Wu Mo did not hesitate to fire at a Dark Star leader.


    At such a close distance, the power of the electromaic pistol turned the alien into powder. It left 17:30


    nothing behind.


    At such a close distance, the power of the electromaic pistol turned the alien into powder. It left nothing behind.


    "Gasp!"


    Everyone could not help but gasp.


    No one expected Wu Mo to be so ruthless. He had fired the pistol without saying a word.


    "Mr. Wu, you¡­ This... How are we going to rule this if we finish him off with one shot?" amander asked doubtfully.


    Wu Mo didn''t answer him. Instead, he moved on to his next target.


    Seeing this, the next Dark Star leader was so scared that it peed his pants. It hurriedly kowtowed to Wu Mo and begged for mercy.


    The live stream audience felt satisfied when they saw this.


    Weren''t the Dark Starlings very arrogant before?


    Why didn''t they continue bragging now?


    At this moment, Wu Mo was resolute and decisive.


    He did not hesitate like the average person or treated the Dark Starlings with benevolence.


    He chose the most direct and straightforward way to kill them mercilessly.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Wu Mo fired rapidly, and each shot cleanly took out a Dark Starling.


    Two minutester, Wu Mo hadpletely eliminated the Dark Star leaders.


    After he eliminated them, Wu Mo led the team into thergest city on Dark Star.


    This city was called the Nameless City.


    At this moment, Wu Mo walked into the Nameless City. The corners of the city were deserted.


    In fact, not everyone had left. They had all retreated to arge castle below the city. This castle was actually an underground city, but it was now under the control of Wu Mo''s men.


    Arge group of fully armed soldiers armed with electromaic rifles and submachine guns stood guard. They blocked all the entrances and exits.


    Then, a huge screen in the buried city lit up.


    Suddenly, the white snow on the screen disappeared to reveal Wu Mo''s face.


    All of the audience members were clearly aware that what Wu Mo was doing was exactly what the Dark Starlings had done to them!


    The Dark Starlings suddenly descended.


    Their images were broadcasted on the big screens in the mall. This created a great panic.


    Wu Mo had taken control of the entire Dark Star. He would do the same thing to make these Dark Starlings experience endless terror.


    "Greetings to the creatures on this foreign. I am the leader of another Kos civilization. I am here to save you from your suffering!"

 Chapter 695 Profiting From Someone Elses Labor

    After Wu Mo spoke, the crowd became agitated. All the Dark Starlings began to curse him.


    They chattered for a long time, but no one understood what they were saying!


    Since Wu Mo had yet to grasp the Dark Starlings''nguage system, he was also confused.


    However, his research team was working hard to decipher theirnguage.


    He believed that he would soon understand what these guys were talking about.


    Wu Mo spoke again, "You were once invaders. I have nothing else to say about that. Now, the invaders have changed. You''re just living out fate!"


    Hearing Wu Mo''s words, the Dark Starlings who had long since mastered the humannguage lost their minds even more.


    They began to lose all restraint.


    However, the Chinese soldiers quickly stopped this and killed some of the Dark Starlings who caused the most trouble.


    As a result, they quieted down in the castle.


    Nevertheless, the hatred on their faces showed no signs of abating.


    Wu Mo reiterated, "I''ll take over the power of this. As long as you follow the rules, you''ll be safe. However, if you break my rules, there will only be one oue¡ªdeath."


    Wu Mo''s words were filled with killing intent.


    His eyes were also as cold as ice.


    No creature on the twos could not stand up against him.


    Despite how different he looked from the Dark Starlings, the terrifying aura of this strange human was enough to kill them.


    They could not get a grip of themselves, and their bodies involuntarily trembled.


    When Wu Mo finished speaking, there was a moment of silence before everything returned to normal.


    "Control all the energy facilities and key locations in the city. Then drag the Dark Starlings out so that they can work and maintain normal operations!"


    "Yes, Mr. Wu!"


    After Wu Mo gave the order, everyone began to move nervously.


    Wu Mo knew that it would not be easy topletely rule this. The road ahead would be filled with challenges.


    However, he was actively dealing with these problems.


    He believed that operations on Dark Star would return to normal in a month at most.


    Once that happened, he would have control over all the resources on this.


    When the war was over, China dered total victory.


    Wu Mo checked their losses and found that it was much less than he had expected.


    However, when China took control of an entire with a Level 3 civilization, all the countries in theary Alliance felt a sense of sadness.


    They all sent congrattory messages and expressed their intentions.


    They were hoping to station themselves and mine on Dark Star.


    In the past, Wu Mo might have given in and allowed these countries to be stationed on the he had obtained.


    However, Wu Mo''s trust had been broken by a betrayal.


    He no longer trusted others so easily.


    As far as he was concerned, it was impossible for him to hand over Dark Star.


    He felt that even if he was willing to give it up, the other countries within theary Alliance did not have the ability to travel there.


    Even if they could get there, would they still be able to transport mining equipment and other materials over? This was an obvious problem.


    If they had no control over these aspects, Dark Star might fall into chaos. It would be extremely disadvantageous to China.


    Therefore, when Wu Mo received the news, he immediately exined his position to his superiors.


    The old chief agreed without hesitation.


    "Wu Mo, we understand how you feel. These guys just want to sit back and enjoy the fruits of ourbor. We paid a huge price, but they want a share of the pie."


    The old chief expressed that he understood Wu Mo very well.


    He was also extremely disgusted by the way the other countries were acting.


    These people never stepped forth to help from the start.


    Yet, they wanted to participate in the mining of Dark Star. How could things be so easy for them?


    After they received news of China''s rejection, all the members of theary Alliance were disappointed.


    They did not expect Wu Mo and the military to refuse their request so decisively!


    The matter began to escte to the point that a storm was about to erupt.


    Did China not consider that they were also members of theary Alliance?


    "China''s greed is infuriating. This is a with a Level 3 civilization, and they actually want to take it for themselves?"


    "Yes, China is too overbearing. Don''t they understand that they might end up eating too much?"


    "The entire nation is calling out! All the members of the alliance should firmly protest. China wants to unify the and be the strongest country! We have long seen through their ambitions!"


    At this moment, all kinds of negativements about China kept appearing.


    The purpose of saying these words was undoubtedly to hope that the Chinese authorities would feel the pressure and give up on their previous n.


    Unfortunately, China''s decision-makers had long seen through their tricks and ignored them!


    The best way to deal with these rumors was to ignore them. Otherwise, they would fall into the trap of others.


    On the Dark Star, Wu Mo remained in the main spaceship and did not directly enter the Dark Star city.


    This was because there was an unknown threat hidden within the city.


    He was surprised to find that the Dark Starlings on this were different from humans in terms of physiological structure.


    "Mr. Wu, look at this Dark Star leader''s body. It seems like there''s a device that can generate electricity. It''s too strange!"


    "What?! Power generation equipment? Its body can generate electricity?"


    Wu Mo was immediately confused and very interested.


    He had never seen a civilization in the universe that could generate electricity by itself!


    At this moment, a group of assistants dissected the Dark Star leader''s body.


    She was horrified to see that there was indeed a device that could generate electricity in his body.


    This device was simr to the electric eel, and could release up to three hundred volts.


    This voltage was enough to electrocute a person to death!


    Clearly, these fellows had wanted to get close to him before using this method¡­


    Seeing this scene, Wu Mo even felt some lingering fear.


    There was no doubt that the physiological structure of these Dark Star leaders was very special. Perhaps this was the direction of human evolution.


    "Humans might evolve into bodies with voltage generating devices," Wu Mo said slowly. "Or they might have other abilities such as fire or ice. But eventually, humans might have a special power!"


    Hearing his words, the surrounding people were shocked.


    In the past, they would have thought that Mr. Wu''s words were too mysterious, as if he was talking in his sleep.


    But now, they knew that Wu Mo wasn''t just saying empty words. He was telling the truth.


    In other words, humans in the future might really have superpowers in terms of genes.


    "Mr. Wu, look here!"


    Suddenly, someone rushed over with a bunch of pictures and information.


    The information clearly showed that there was a ck device in arge warehouse on Dark Star.


    This device was very simr to antimatter.


    But it was worth mentioning that its production efficiency was nearly three times higher than antimatter.


    "Oh, this is a good thing. No wonder someone said that before."


    Wu Mo''s eyes lit up as he suddenly recalled the viewpoint of a Dark Starling.


    That was, in a civilization of the same level.


    If they wanted to advance to a higher level of civilization, they could only invade and devour.

 Chapter 696 - 696 Scholar from Dark Star

    696 Schr from Dark Star


    At that time, Wu Mo could not understand why he had to say that he was invading someone else¡¯s home in such a dignified manner.


    But now, he understood.


    This was because when a civilization invaded a civilization of the same level.


    There was no doubt that he could learn and draw lessons from their techniques.


    Bybining the two technologies, we can move towards a more advanced civilization and achieve an unprecedented technological leap.


    ¡°That¡¯s great! Our human civilization is about to reach a new level. The door to a two-star civilization has been opened!¡±


    Wu Mo cheered, his emotions overflowing like a fountain.


    He first stepped out of the main spaceship and led all the officers to the mysterious device.


    ¡°Look at this device, it¡¯s incredible! It seemed to be producing antimatter endlessly, and there was a unique method to store the antimatter.¡±


    Wu Mo stared at the massive creature in front of him, the shock in his heart as deep as an endless ocean.


    However, at this moment, an assistant rushed in and whispered a few words into Wu Mo¡¯s ear.


    ¡°What did you say? Was there really such a thing?¡±


    Wu Mo was shocked. He did not expect his assistant to bring him such news.


    The assistant nodded and smiled bitterly.b¡±Mr. Wu, if you don¡¯t believe me, perhaps I could bring him to see you?¡±


    Wu Mo nodded in agreement.


    Not long after, an old man appeared.


    The Dark Starlings who were filled with wisdom appeared in front of them.


    ¡°Greetings, honorable guide of the interster civilization! I am a Dark Star citizen, Schr Boxer. Nice to meet you!¡±


    As a famous schr, Boxey was very familiar with the understanding and use of humannguage.


    Meanwhile, mankind was still trying to figure out thenguage system of the Dark Star people.


    Therefore, Wu Mo could only use Boxer tomunicate with the Dark Star people.


    ¡°Ah, Boxer, why are you looking for me?¡±


    Although Wu Mo already knew what was going on, he still pretended to be puzzled.


    Boxer lowered his head, looking loyal.


    ¡°Honorable Mr. Wu, I hope to show you the civilization of our and be your guide. My only request is to receive your friendliness and respect.¡±


    Wu Moughed as soon as Boxer finished speaking.


    He had guessed right. This guy¡¯s goal was to use his own¡¯s civilization to rely on mankind so that he could continue to enjoy the schr treatment he enjoyed!


    Wu Mo nodded in agreement. ¡°Alright. But I have to see if what you¡¯ve given me is really the essence of your.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Mr. Wu! If not, I, Boxer, am willing to use my life as a guarantee.¡±


    Boxer had obviously learned a kind of solemn oath on their.


    Wu Moughed again. He was very satisfied with Boxer¡¯s answer.


    Then, Boxer began to introduce the distribution of power on their to Wu Mo.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, you just defeated the Batinat Kingdom. Other than that, there¡¯s another big country on our called Carville!¡±


    Listening to Boxer¡¯s introduction, Wu Mo gradually understood the structure of Dark Star¡¯s forces.


    It turned out that the two strongest countries were the two of them.


    Among them, Batinat upied the dominant position on the, while Carville was rtively weak in front of him.


    Moreover, Batinat¡¯s technological power was far ahead of Carville¡¯s.


    By the time Wu Mo¡¯s Invincible Space Team started attacking, Carville had already surrendered.


    Therefore, that ce was now a territory without any obstacles.


    They could directly go and upy it without paying any price.


    ¡°What is the most powerful technology on your?¡±Wu Mo asked a crucial question.


    This was the key step to bing a two-star civilization.


    Boxer pondered for a moment, pushed his sses, and confidently said, ¡°That is our Ultimate Creature Regeneration Technique!¡±


    ¡± Ultimate Creature Regeneration?¡±


    Wu Mo immediately found this term novel.


    He was the undisputed pinnacle of the field of biotechnology in human society.


    As the inventor of the nine great potions, no one else was even qualified topete with him.


    Now Boxer said that their was best at biological regeneration.


    This made Wu Mo extremely interested, and he was eager to understand this method.


    ¡°Take me to see your so-called ultimate biological regeneration technology!¡±


    Then, they arrived at a mysterious undergroundboratory.


    When he arrived, Wu Mo saw a device that looked like an operating table.


    On it was the corpse of a Dark Star resident.


    This corpse was very special. It came from a general, even though he had already lost his life.


    However, it had already been cut open halfway, and traces of surgical recovery could be seen.


    Wu Mo was surprised to find that there were still some cells on the corpse that were full of vitality.


    They even grew new muscles.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? He¡¯s clearly dead, but he can still grow new flesh. Could this be the legendary Life and Death Flesh Bone Technique?¡±


    Wu Mo was extremely curious.


    He wanted to know what kind of technology this so-called ultimate biological regeneration was.


    ¡°Is this the ultimate biological regeneration technology you mentioned? ¡°Wu Mo asked slowly.


    Boxer nodded, his eyes shing as he walked towards the Dark Star general¡¯s corpse.


    ¡°Look, what a miracle!¡±


    He proudly dered,¡± In just three days, he will get rid of his old muscles and bones and regain a new body of life. At that time, a brand new him will be revived in this world.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Wu Mo and the other officers looked at each other, their eyes shining with surprise.


    To be able topletely update in three days, how extraordinary was this technology?


    Even the most cutting-edge biologists in human society couldn¡¯t achieve such a miraculous state, right?


    Replicating a cell was already a top-notch scientific achievement.


    However, this technology waspletely different from copying. It was more like aplete recement.


    ¡°Is the person after theplete update still the same person?¡±


    Wu Mo pondered for a moment and said in a serious tone, ¡°Will their thoughts be the same?¡±


    Boxer nodded and answered affirmatively, ¡± Yes, their memories evene from the same source. Because memories are stored in cells, the cells are symbiotic and naturally will not change.¡±


    Therefore, Wu Mo asked Boxer to start the surgery.


    He immediately summoned a few other biological experts from the Dark Star.


    He had personally witnessed this group of peopleplete the entire operation.


    The whole process was not asplicated as he had imagined.


    As three days passed, the Dark Star¡¯s entire body seemed to have been reborn, experiencing a process of rebirth.


    He stood up and looked around in a daze.


    However, when he saw Wu Mo, he suddenly gasped¡­


    ¡°D*mn it! It¡¯s actually you, you b*stard?¡±


    He immediately recognized Wu Mo, who had invaded Fortune.


    Hence, he charged at him hatefully. His teeth were as sharp as des as he stabbed towards Wu Mo¡¯s neck!


    Seeing that the Dark Star general was about to pounce on Wu Mo, the officers in the room had already drawn their pistols and were ready to fire.


    However, Wu Mo¡¯s speed was even faster. He suddenly threw out a kick, sending the Dark Star being flying.


    Everyone in the room gasped.


    They looked at Wu Mo in shock, a question appearing in their minds:


    How did Mr. Wu suddenly be so powerful?

 Chapter 697 His Body Has A Special Ability

    ?


    How would these people know that Wu Mo''s biotechnology could already transform the human body?


    He was naturally the first to benefit.


    Although he had never learned any fighting techniques, his strong physique was enough to make him stronger than any professional fighter.


    The Dark Star general was also very powerful, but it was unable to defend against Wu Mo''s surprise attack. Thus, it was instantly defeated.


    "D*mn it. You daree to our. You''re courting death!"


    The Dark Star general had seemingly been in a deep sleep for some time. It waspletely unaware of the current situation.


    It stood up again and prepared to charge at Wu Mo.


    "Stop resisting. Our has beenpletely upied by them," Boxer said with a sigh.


    The Dark Star general was stunned. It looked at the human officers around it, and its mind went nk.


    How could it possibly see them here?


    The general began to sob, and his cries grew increasingly loud.


    Wu Mo waved his hand and firmly said, "Take this Dark Star general away and guard him closely."


    Two assistants quickly carried out the order and brought the general away.


    Wu Mo''s eyes shone with excitement as he slowly said, "Your civilization''s biological regeneration technology is indeed superior and amazing. I''m willing to work with you on an unprecedented research project!"


    Boxer smiled proudly, and his eyes filled with ambition. "Coborate on research? Mr. Wu, I''m very interested!"


    In Boxer''s eyes, this was undoubtedly a crucial step for him to step into the upper echelons of human society.


    It was the start of enjoying generous treatment.


    However, Wu Mo''s deep eyes hid an even deeper secret.


    Biological regeneration technology was miraculous to Wu Mo!


    Yes, reconstructing the cells of the dead and replicating the human body seemed no than reviving the dead.


    What made it more incredible was how it could restore human memories.


    It was unbelievable!


    This involved the soul and neuroscience. Even the extremely intelligent Wu Mo found it difficult to understand.


    Then, a grand surgery began.


    A camera was aimed at the sky above the entire big city, and it captured the Dark Star civilization.


    People eximed in admiration. The superbyout of the city was exquisite and advanced. Everyone was shocked.


    The intense surgery was still going on when Boxer suddenly screamed, "Mr. Wu, what are you doing?!"


    He was shocked to see Wu Mo and his assistant.


    Wu Mo injected bio-modification capsules into the Dark Starling''s corpse one by one, but he did not exin his actions.


    He announced that the Dark Starling would wake up in an hour.


    An hourter, the Dark Starling suddenly opened its eyes.


    Then, it sat up on the spot and red at Wu Mo. "Damn executioner! Go to hell!"


    It was quickly subdued by his assistant.


    However, a red me actually condensed in the palm of his hand, scaring the assistant so much that he jumped in fright.


    "What?! How could he release mes?"


    One of the assistants was stunned. This scene was like a superhuman ability from a science fiction movie.


    "Oh my God, this, this, this... Mr. Wu, what''s going on?"


    The other assistants were at a loss.


    A mysterious smile appeared on Wu Mo''s face, and his deep eyes sparkled with excitement.


    " What you saw was a miracle caused by the collision of biological cells and some special capsules. I was the one who injected these bio-modification capsules into their bodies to stimte their ability to control mes."


    The assistants exchanged nces in surprise. One of them finally couldn''t help but ask, "Mr. Wu, this... Is this really possible? How could the human body have such an incredible ability?"


    Wu Mo''s eyes were deep as he shook his head. "No, this is not an illusion or a scam. This is a miracle of unknown science, and it really exists in our world."


    Boxer''s eyes lit up as Wu Mo exined.


    "I understand, Mr. Wu!" heughed. You''ve actually changed biological regeneration technology and used the special characteristics of our bodies to create a brand new Special Ability field, right?"


    Wu Mo smiled and nodded.


    The sess of this operation proved the feasibility of his idea.


    A dream-like revolution of a new era was emerging.


    People might have different abilities, from controlling fire, electricity, ice, and so on.


    One of the assistants praised with a bright gaze, "This is amazing, Mr. Wu! The entire world will be shocked by this!"


    Wu Mo did not stop. He continued to carry out a series of experiments and sessfully resurrected several Dark Star people. Each of them had a special ability.


    One of them even extended his palm, and a green electric current shot out from his palm, instantly burning the murals on the wall!


    Boxer was dumbfounded. He shouted in admiration, "Mr. Wu, you''re a genius! This power not only exists in the body, but it can also be released through space. It''s a miracle beyond imagination!"


    Wu Mo smiled modestly. His gaze turned to another Dark Star person. That person''s ability was to control ice.


    Wu Mo knew how terrifying this ability was.


    He decided not to modify the Dark Starlings for the time being.


    He turned his head and said with a firm gaze, "Next, we will conduct experiments on human volunteers. My idea is to directly advance our from a Level 3 civilization to a Level 2 civilization or even higher through biological evolution and scientific technology!"


    Wu Mo''s eyes shone with an unprecedented determination.


    He had justpletely mastered the method to make a huge leap in the human body.


    The entire human society was on the verge of a revolution.


    It was all thanks to the ck antimatter device in his hand.


    He couldn''t help but caress the mysterious device. His excitement was indescribable.


    He knew that the energy replenishment and fleet repairs this time were all very important.


    And the use of antimatter forces for war, would open a new chapter.


    "Mr. Wu Mo, how will the future humans face this breakthrough? " an assistant asked timidly.


    Wu Mo smiled and answered confidently,"Wait, just wait. When human society fully epts the integration of biological modification and science and technology, we will leap into the threshold of a Level 2 civilization. At that time, the mysterious veil of the four-dimensional space will gradually be unveiled, but it won''t be easy."


    When Wu Mo returned to face the old chief, the confidence in his eyes was shocking.


    The old chief''s eyes lit up. He quickly asked, "Wu Mo, are the legends about the human body being modified and the control of fire and lightning true?"


    The old chief''s breathing quickened, and his eyes were filled with curiosity and desire.


    Wu Mo nodded and announced his n without hesitation.

 Chapter 698 Human Body Modification Program

    An excited smile appeared on the old chief''s face.


    "Alright," he said firmly. "I''ll select the elite warriors in the army immediately. We''ll explore this unknown territory together."


    The sense of responsibility and discipline that soldier had made Wu Mo look forward to this transformation even more.


    In his opinion, they could prevent potential chaos and also open up new possibilities in war by giving the soldiers this power.


    Not long after, ten determined and ambitious warriors walked into the research institute.


    Their chests rose and fell with their breathing, and their faces were filled with nervous anticipation.


    Wu Mo and his team walked in and carefully studied each soldier.


    He then handed them a card and asked them to fill in their preferred superpower.


    Wu Mo believed that this was the best time to reveal the special ability that waspatible with their souls.


    To some extent, everyone''s intuition was a reflection of their soul and cell memories.


    Each person would be inclined to a certain superpower, which might be an elerator during surgery.


    It made everything go smoother.


    Therefore, the ten warriors wrote down the abilities they yearned for.


    Fire and Ice, Lightning Control, Water Element Maniption, Material Disintegration, and other special powers stood out on the card.


    Finally, it was time for their transformation.


    This was not an ordinary experiment but a major surgery that would decide one''s fate.


    The bio-modification capsules would silently enter their bodies.


    Then, it would fuse perfectly with them within twenty-four hours.


    This time would differentiate the humans and the Dark Starlings. It would also be a guarantee to prevent future idents.


    "Mr. Wu, who should we start with?" Xu Wanqing asked nervously.


    Wu Mo looked at the ten soldiers and finally pointed at one of them. After that, he led him into the mysteriousboratory.


    The agonizing wait began, and time seemed to freeze.


    Half an hourter, the soldier was left in the ward for observation. The door to the operating theater slowly opened.


    Wu Mo worked tirelessly for ten hours and finallypleted the transformation for each volunteer.


    He was sweating profusely when he walked out. He left Xu Wanqing and the others to handle everything else while he returned to the base to rest.


    "Mr. Wu, the observation period for the first soldier has passed. Should we check his results?"


    A phone call from Xu Wanqing interrupted Wu Mo''s thoughts.


    After he woke up, Wu Mo headed to the Institute of Special Biology in high spirits.


    There, he witnessed an ecstatic warrior!


    The warrior lit a pile of waste paper yfully, and the mes that erupted from his fingertips fell on a pool of water.


    The mes and water collided before they disappeared.


    "Hahaha! I can control mes!" the warrior screamed in excitement.


    His eyes were filled with the joy of a dreame true.


    Wu Mo revealed a satisfied smile.


    He looked at the other warriors one by one.


    He realized that they had basically fulfilled their wishes.


    The new abilities in their bodies proved that this was no longer a fantasy.


    "Very good. Everything is as expected. There are no side effects. However, we should make the surgery process more streamlined so that the modification can be truly poprized among the entire poption."


    Wu Mo thought about his future.


    When the transformation of these ten warriors was made public, the world seemed to boil.


    The upper echelons of theary Alliance were currently having a headache over the matter of Dark Star.


    However, they suddenly heard such shocking news.


    Everyone was stunned on the spot. They were so shocked that they could not speak.


    "Unbelievable! Is this true? Has everyone gained superpowers?!"


    The head of a foreign country looked at the news report on the screen in shock, as if he could not believe his eyes.


    The human body was just a mortal''s shell. How could it dance with wind, fire, thunder, and lightning? This seemed to be far beyond the boundaries of science.


    "Hah! Wu Mo was indeed strong, but did he really think that we were fools to fool everyone with such an excuse?"


    A person in charge of arge country criticized angrily, as if he felt that human intelligence had been insulted.


    However, China''s response was even more direct and firm. "Superpowers do exist. If you don''t believe us, we''re willing to show it to the public."


    A bet was thus made. The loser would give up their base on Fortune, and the winner would get China''s dome.


    "Mr. Wu," someone said worriedly, "the dome is so important. How can it be offset by a small base?"


    Wu Mo''s smile revealed his confidence. "It doesn''t matter even if I bet my life because we will definitely win."


    The eyes of the world were focused on this gamble of the century, and the global media reported on it.


    In the center of the stage, ten warriors lined up in a row under the watchful eyes of everyone. It was as if legends were about to be unveiled.


    "Haha, look! Their lies will eventually be exposed!"


    A group of heads of state sneered as they watched the live broadcast.


    Wu Mo''s voice came through the walkie-talkie. "The first participant, you may start disying your abilities. The rest of you, follow suit!"


    "Understood, Mr. Wu!" the warriors answered.


    The first warrior walked up, took a deep breath, and slowly pressed his palm on a piece of newspaper.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Three secondster, the newspaper started to burn. The mes were raging and magnificent.


    The whole world was stunned, and disbelief, as well as shock, were revealed on everyone''s faces.


    "Impossible! How could the mes from his hands be so huge?"


    Before everyone could collect themselves, the second warrior walked forward to showcase his ability.


    His superpower was Wind de.


    He raised his palm and swung it forward. With a low roar, the wooden nk five meters away was cut in half.


    "This... What kind of power is this? The void and biting cold air are under his control!"


    The audience waspletely blown away by the scene before them.


    The third warrior walked up to the stage and gently covered a bucket of cold water with his palm.


    In the blink of an eye, the bucket of water turned into a bucket of frozen ice.


    The audience felt a chill rise from the bottom of their hearts as if they had been summoned into a fantasy world.


    The national leaders who were watching went pale, and their lips trembled as if they wanted to say something.


    However, words could not express the shock they were experiencing.


    The fifth, sixth, and seventh warriors disyed their abilities too.


    Every disy made people''s hearts beat faster, and every ability showed the infinite possibilities of the future.


    The atmosphere at the press conference was chilling.


    All the reporters forgot about interviewing and filming. Everyone''s hearts were tightly locked on the stage.


    "May I ask Mr. Wu... Is it possible for ordinary people like us to have such abilities?" A reporter finally mustered up his courage and asked with a trembling voice.


    Wu Mo''s expression was solemn, and his eyes shone with assurance. He slowly said, "Everyone can be an extraordinary version of themselves. In the future, you and I will be able to control our own superpowers."


    The entire world fell into silence before they went into an uproar.


    The national leaders who had participated in the bet looked solemn.


    At this moment, they understood that this was not a gamble, but the prelude to a golden age.


    China had already won the gamble.

 Chapter 699 Teaching Potion Making Methods

    <h4>Chapter 699 Teaching Potion Making Methods</h4>


    "Hahaha, Mr. Wu is extraordinary! We won eleven bases in one bet!"


    Those on China''s base cheered loudly.


    The national leaders who lost the bet felt extremely regretful at this moment, and they all sought forgiveness from China.


    Wu Mo heard a notification sound, and an email requesting leniency appeared on his screen.


    He narrowed his eyes as he lightly tapped on the keyboard. His reply was firm.


    "Not keeping a promise is equivalent to throwing away your dignity. Once you''ve made a wager, you can only fulfill your end of the bargain."


    That simple sentence shocked all the national leaders until they were tongue-tied.


    Wu Mo, on the other hand, not only won the bet, but he also won ownership of eleven bases.


    Meanwhile, a surgical revolution was brewing in his hands.


    There was only one goal: Let all mankind enjoy this technology.


    He had made a promise at the press conference, so how could he go back on his word now?


    After his affirmative response, everyone felt as if they were floating. It all seemed a little unreal.


    On Dark Star, Wu Mo''s n was progressing smoothly.


    The Dark Starlings gradually epted their new reality. They walked out of the air defense fortress and resumed their normal lives.


    As everything started to improve, Wu Mo saw the dawn of a new challenge.


    He wanted to fuse Dark Star''s cutting-edge technology with China''s technology and strive to reach the threshold of a Level 2 civilization!


    Even though four-dimensional space was still far away, his dream was gradually bing clear.


    The spaceships in the Divine Military System had a new look.


    Wu Mo was incredibly satisfied with what he saw.


    There were eight new spaceships added to the lineup.


    He never felt anxious because the nearly one billion people on Dark Star were his source of confidence.


    "What?! How can their potionspare to ours?"


    The Dark Starlings had gradually epted the fact that they were being colonized.


    However, when they heard that Wu Mo was selling the nine great potions, no one was willing to buy it.


    Even the tycoons of Dark Star were disdainful.


    What kind of high-tech could someone who ruled the by forcee up with?


    However, a Dark Starling identally caught a glimpse of the potions'' descriptions.


    It was deeply attracted by the upgraded version of one of the intelligence potions!


    "What''s going on? They''re not interested in the longevity potion and the reverse growth potion at all. Instead, they''re obsessed with the Special IQ Potion?"


    Wu Mo was also surprised when he heard about the sales.


    However, after some careful thought, he found it very reasonable.


    He had realized long ago that human technology might not be the best in the vast universe.


    Nevertheless, one thing was enough to make humans stand above all alien civilizations.


    It was the human spirit.


    Mankind had always been united in the storms of history.


    They were born with the advantage of being able to ovee difficulties with iparable tenacity.


    Indeed, this was the secret that all alien civilizationscked.


    Their technological excellence might have weakened their exploration of the self.


    Now, they yearned to reignite that spark in their hearts and uplift themselves.


    This was why they wanted to conquer the human.


    The Special IQ Potion could change one''s thinking, which was exactly what they desired.


    Among the nine great potions, it was the Special IQ Potion that caused a sales frenzy on Dark Star!


    "Hurry up! Don''t hesitate. If you don''t act now, you''ll miss out!"


    The wealthy people of Dark Star scrambled to buy the Special IQ Potion and swept it clean in an instant.


    "Mr. Wu, the Special IQ Potion is sold out. Please let us know how to proceed!" his subordinate hurriedly reported.


    Wu Mo pondered for a moment and sped up the production of the Special IQ Potion. He was prepared to produce a hundred thousand bottles at once!


    He discovered that Dark Star''s demand for the Special IQ Potion had given him an unprecedented amount of resources.


    He realized that the returns from trading with the alien civilization far exceeded the returns on the human.


    As business opportunities quietly arrived, Wu Mo did not hesitate to invest in the crazy production of the Special IQ Potion.


    "Come over quickly¡­"


    Wu Mo walked into the Institute of Special Biology and gathered all the staff.


    They were confused as they did not understand his intentions.


    They were surprised to find out that Wu Mo was going to teach them how to make the Special IQ Potion!


    "This-This¡­ Mr. Wu, are you serious? Are you kidding me?"


    Everyone, including Xu Wanqing, was shocked but also overjoyed.


    They could hardly believe that this was real. It felt like a dream.


    The Special IQ Potion had already be a hot topic all over the world.


    If one could obtain the patent of this potion, it would mean wealth and glory, and a supreme status.


    Now, Wu Mo was actually going to personally teach them the production method. This made them feel as if they had walked into a fairnd.


    However, this was a piece of cake to Wu Mo.


    Although the production method of the Special IQ Potion could be made public, the true manufacturing principle and raw materials would remain secrets.


    In other words, even if someone wanted to create it privately, they could only produce small batches of products. They could not sell them on arge scale.


    Even so, this was already an unexpected surprise that satisfied the researchers!


    "Open your eyes and observe carefully. I will only demonstrate once!"


    Wu Mo''s voice was deep, solemn, and powerful.


    In theboratory, his hands were as dexterous as that of a magician while they inverted various liquids between test tubes.


    Every drop of dosage, the purity of every liquid, and the difference on every scale line was extremely precise.


    This was not a game.


    A slight deviation could result in the creation of a deadly potion that produced stupidity instead.


    It would not be the Special IQ Potion that people were yearning for.


    The researchers followed Wu Mo''s movements closely.


    Every subtle gesture was engraved into their minds.


    They knew that this process could not be sloppy at all.


    Finally, Wu Mo finished his demonstration. He took a deep breath and sat down to observe.


    Next was the challenge of time.


    The result was unexpected. Three out of fifteen researchers seeded in one try.


    One of the best was Xu Wanqing.


    "Beautifully done. The sess of your first try has proven your extraordinary talent. The rest of my colleagues, don''t be discouraged. Try a few more times. I believe you can do it!"


    Wu Mo encouraged them with a satisfied smile on his face.


    For the next five hours, the atmosphere in theboratory remained tense.


    More than ten researchers finally learned how to make the Special IQ Potion.


    "From today onward, you can put down all your other work. You only need to concentrate on producing the Special IQ Potion every day."


    As soon as Wu Mo finished speaking, theboratory immediately erupted into cheers.


    For these researchers, it would undoubtedly benefit them to focus on producing the Special IQ Potion every day.

 Chapter 700 The First Target

    <h4>Chapter 700 The First Target</h4>


    Three dayster, five hundred thousand bottles of the Special IQ Potion arrived on Dark Star.


    As the spaceship that was loaded with potions slowly moved forward, everyone knew that Dark Star was about to wee a sensational event.


    Sure enough, the potions were sold out in just three minutes.


    "Many of the Dark Starlings are really rich!"


    Some people sighed. They could not believe the spectacr scene.


    Seeing that all the potions were gone, Wu Mo immediately checked the system''s interface and gasped.


    "I''m rich! I''m really rich! Hahaha."


    The usually calm Wu Moughed happily at this moment.


    His points in the system''s store was currently filled to the brim.


    Therefore, there was only one thing he could do next: Buy!


    That''s right. He went on a shopping spree!


    Wu Mo''s eyes sparkled with excitement.


    He looked at an advanced device in his hand that couldpress antimatter to a high degree.


    This was not an ordinary gadget.


    It was a secret weapon that Wu Mo hade up with after careful consideration. It was a source of energy that could break space and create charged ck holes.


    The concept of a charged ck hole was simr to that of the Interster Teleportation Gate.


    However, Wu Mo wanted a stronger and more stable power.


    Although the Interster Teleportation Gate was already amazing, it could only amodate five people at a time.


    Now, Wu Mo''s goal was to ce this portal on the distant Dark Star and?create a truly shocking technological miracle.


    This was not an easy task.


    Dark Star and Earth were separated by an endless distance.


    It was still a huge challenge even with Wu Mo''s talent.


    However, once he seeded, the number of people that could teleport would increase exponentially.


    Hundreds or even thousands of people could teleport in an instant. On top of that, they could transportrge supplies and production equipment.


    After thirty minutes of exchanging points, a huge heart-shaped device materialized in a dark warehouse.


    Wu Mo nodded in satisfaction as his mind was filled with a beautiful vision of the future.


    Next, he would work with his research team to construct a wormhole.


    The news reached the old chief''s ears, and he revealed?an excited expression.


    Reaching an alien with a Level 3 civilization used to be an unattainable dream for mankind.


    Yet, it could be as close as their backyard.


    This prospect was too tempting. The old chief immediately put the project on the agenda.


    He made its importance clear and ensured full cooperation from all sides.


    The research team then began to act quickly. Everyone''s hearts were overflowing with excitement.


    Wu Mo''s voice was steady and firm as he exined every detailed step to the team.


    He wanted to ensure that the entire n was carried out smoothly.


    However, the research process for the transformation of a ck hole into a wormhole would not be carried out overnight.


    It would take at least one to two months.


    Wu Mo understood this. He nned to use the time to refine the bio-modification capsule and unlock everyone''s superpower.


    Many would naturally be tested when they are tempted by the power of special abilities.


    How would Wu Mo control a group of determined youths who were fired up by their superpowers?


    Wu Mo was definitely not a simpleton.


    He already had ns to put those who underwent the modification surgery on his "observation list."


    He would control their every move.


    Wu Mo was prepared to build a powerful organization, not just to watch over a group of people.


    It was more to prevent any abusers of power from creating chaos.


    Imagine if an ordinary person could suddenly summon mes and hail. Would he still be able to embrace peace?


    This was definitely a huge temptation, and it made everyone feel anxious.


    However, Wu Mo smiled. He was prepared for the test of humanity.


    He had also reserved a special ability for himself, and it was undoubtedly top-notch¡ªit was the power of disintegration!


    Everything could be broken down to the tiniest particles.


    Wu Mo just needed to move his finger slightly, and this magical?power could return any object to its original state.


    It was like touching an ancient tree and instantly shattering it into pieces.


    A ss of water would instantly turn into steam.


    Those who had never heard of such an ability would be shocked.


    While Wu Mo was immersed in his n, the team of specialists in charge of the modification surgery walked in.


    "Mr. Wu, are you ready?"


    Wu Mo smiled. "Prepare for surgery. I''ll be the first patient to receive it today."


    Everyone was so surprised that their eyes almost fell out. "You want to perform modification surgery on yourself?" they asked in unison.


    They never thought that Wu Mo would do that.


    New techniques always carried unknown risks.


    Not to mention, they were operating on someone important like Wu Mo.


    "Mr. Wu, this technology is extremely new. Will it really work?" a researcher asked with concern.


    Wu Mo looked at him confidently and said, "Trust me. It''ll work."


    Faced with Wu Mo''s resolute attitude, who would dare to object?


    Hence, the lights in the operating theater lit up.


    Wu Mo was calm as usual when hey on the operating table.


    However, the outside world was watching him with fervent eyes. They were looking forward to his transformation and how it would affect China''s future.


    The time for surgery was at hand.


    The core members of theary Alliance and the entire world were focused on this significant surgery. The bio-modification capsule would be imnted into Wu Mo''s body.


    People whispered to each other as they guessed what kind of surgery Wu Mo was undergoing.


    The modification surgery was not yet widespread in the world. Hence, Wu Mo''s decision seemed confusing.


    Due to military''s confidentiality and supervision, the surgery ended without muchmotion.


    Six hourster, Wu Mo sat up from the operating table and exhaled heavily.


    His eyes were filled with satisfaction as he nodded repeatedly at the wounds on his body that were gradually healing.


    His current body had been enhanced, and he now possessed an astonishing self-healing ability.


    Although he was still a distance away from being Superman, it only took a few hours for his post-surgery wounds topletely recover.


    At this point, Wu Mo could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart.


    He was eager to experience his superpowers.


    He locked the door and swept his gaze over four objects in the room¡ªa ss of water, a piece of wood, a piece of paper, and a metal ball.


    He wanted to test his superpowers on them one by one.


    Wu Mo''s heart raced. He took a deep breath and slowly ced his hand into the ss.


    In the next moment, an invisible electromaic wave shot out of his palm, and the ss of water quickly disintegrated with a sizzle.


    "Oh, it''s so fast!" Wu Mo muttered to himself in surprise.


    He had assumed that it would take at least a few minutes to break the water down into water vapor molecules.


    Uexpectedly, the whole process only took a minute.


    His heart continued to beat fast, and his excitement rose. Next, he ced his palm on a piece of wood.


    In an instant, the wood turned into a pile of powder.


    The piece of paper also disappeared in less than ten seconds in broad daylight.


    Eventually, Wu Mo shifted his focus to the hard metal ball, which wasst and most challenging one.

 Chapter 701 The Pioneer of Human Civilization

    <h4>Chapter 701 The Pioneer of Human Civilization</h4>


    Wu Mo took a deep breath and began to disintegrate the metal ball with all his might.


    As expected, the metal ball rapidly melted at a speed visible to the naked eye. It turned into a pool of molten iron.


    "It liquified. This means that it hasn''tpletely disintegrated and has only gone through a reduction process."


    Wu Mo pondered and frowned.


    Even so, he was still extremely satisfied with the results.


    What else could he ask for?


    The sessful surgery had set off a revolution in technology rted to the human body.


    Wu Mo had found the key to sess and disyed unprecedented power.


    What was the next step?


    His vision was bigger than that.


    After all, he was strong, persistent, and passionate.


    A storm of reform was brewing in China, and it might even sweep across the entire world.


    The streamlining of surgical skills was a kind of power transfer and advancement.


    The people of China had taken a step forward and be the true pioneers of a Level 2 civilization. All of mankind was on a new level.


    Wu Mo''s promise was not an empty vow; it was a mission for the future.


    The elites of the medical world were chosen based on Wu Mo''s vision, and they also felt called by their future mission.


    There were plenty of applications. However, only the most excellent and outstanding ones could win a ce in his training ss.


    In the end, eighty brave soldiers stepped into the historical ss.


    The operating theater was cold, as well as solemn, and the image on the projection screen flickered with a high-tech glow.


    Wu Mo stood by the front desk. He would be their teacher and guide.


    His words held the knowledge of technology, hope, and the future.


    "This bio-modification capsule is the future!"


    His voice was firm as it swept over the focused faces.


    "Nature has given us a revtion. Superpowers are no longer unattainable fantasies. These capsules and biological factors will act as key and bridges to those powers."


    During his lecture, Wu Mo reminded them of a magician removing a mysterious veil.


    The doctors were also immersed in these mysteries of science and technology. They were intoxicated.


    The position of the bio-modification capsule and details of the surgery seemed to be in the palm of Wu Mo''s hand.


    This was an enlightening lesson and a leap in the advancement of human technology.


    Eighty years ago, these views would have been ridiculed and denied.


    However, all of humanity was now standing at a new starting point.


    Wu Mo''s introductory lecture ended, and the hall was filled with doctors.


    The calm and rational professionals were touched as a new door to the world of knowledge had been opened. This ss would go on for seven days.


    However, it was more than just a ss and simtion experiment; it was a spiritual awakening.


    They would forge new powers and shape a new future.


    This surgery could be poprized if they fully grasped the required surgical skills and truly achieved sess in this experiment.


    Surgery involved life and death.


    Once they made a mistake, Wu Mo could be the target of public criticism.


    "Mr. Wu, I''ve alreadypleted more than twenty surgeries, and all of them have been sessful!" Seven dayster, a top-notch surgeon told Wu Mo happily.


    Wu Mo nodded, but his face remained solemn.


    "Twenty sesses is indeed a great achievement, but only a hundred sesses is considered perfection."


    "What? A hundred times?"


    The doctor was stunned when he heard what Wu Mo said.


    A hundred surgeries not only tested one''s skills, but it also consumed a lot of energy.


    However, to master this surgical skill, he had no choice but to follow Wu Mo''s arrangements.


    The other doctors also started the experimental phase one after another. Some of them made mistakes more than eighty times, and some even made mistakes at the very beginning.


    No one achieved a true hundred-percent win record. This naturally didn''t meet Wu Mo''s expectations.


    They could not risk clinical problems. The consequences would be unimaginable.


    Nevertheless, there was no doubt that they were the elites of the surgical field.


    After some hard work, they adapted to the new environment.


    Finally, someone sessfullypleted a hundred surgeries in a row without making any mistakes!


    "Very good, Dr. Liu. You''ll be in charge of the surgical modification of several volunteers."


    Wu Mo''s announcement made Dr. Liu excited and nervous.


    "Alright, Mr. Wu! I''m greatly honored. Where are the volunteers?" Dr. Liu asked hesitantly.


    Soon after, a few elite soldiers walked over.


    They had all gone through the first volunteer selection process.


    Now, Wu Mo was prepared for them to undergo the modification surgery before he promoted it to the entire poption.


    Seeing that he was going to perform surgery on a soldier, the weight on Dr. Liu''s shoulders became much heavier.


    He then asked his assistant to start preparing. The first surgery would begin in an hour.


    Wu Mo would watch the entire surgery from the side.


    However, he would keep his mouth shut and not give any hints. Dr. Liu would take full charge.


    "The surgery has officially begun!"


    Dr. Liu took a deep breath, and his heart felt heavy.


    He had performed countless surgeries in his life, but it felt like he was starting all over now.


    Following Dr. Liu''s announcement, his assistants got busy.


    Every task, including handing over tools and providing support, seemed tense and organized.


    The soldier''s eyes were filled with pride and confidence as he stared ahead.


    There was no fear on his face. He only showed unprecedented calmness and determination.


    After two hours, the door to the operating theater was slowly pushed open. The surgery had been sessfullypleted.


    Wu Mo had stood in the operating theater and watched the entire process. He nodded silently and smiled in satisfaction.


    Dr. Liu''s performance was beyond his expectations. The surgery went smoothly, and every step was just right.


    Furthermore, Dr. Liu was surprisingly almost as fast as Wu Mo. He was just a little slower!


    After the surgery, they had to wait for the bio-modification capsule to fuse with the soldier''s body and activate his fire-rted superpower.


    Through the reaction of biological factors in the blood, the soldier would be able to produce mes on the surface of his body.


    To do this, they needed to modify his skin to make it resistant to high temperatures.


    After the surgery, the soldier waited quietly in the lounge for observation. The other soldiers, who had been following the process closely, also entered the operating theater one after another.


    To Dr. Liu, this was just a routine.


    With the sess of the first surgery, Dr. Liu''s confidence increased.


    His following surgeries went smoothly as well. His speed gradually increased, but he maintained the quality of his work perfectly. There was no oversight.


    "Excellent, Dr. Liu. You have mastered the surgical technique for the bio-modification capsule!"


    Wu Mo gave Dr. Liu a thumbs up and smiled sincerely.


    Dr. Liu was proud to receive Wu Mo''s recognition, and he instantly felt a strong sense of aplishment.


    Meanwhile, other doctors sessfully mastered the surgical technique too.


    The following clinical trials progressed smoothly.


    The doctors'' superb surgical skills had made Wu Mo impable. His body had been sessfully transformed.


    When the old chief heard the news, rushed over to inspect.


    He expressed his heartfelt admiration for the doctors with a smile on his face.

 Chapter 702 Space Tunnel

    <h4>Chapter 702 Space Tunnel</h4>


    "Wu Mo, I hope that you''ll let the special soldiers in the army undergo this transformation first. It will be of great help to their mission!" the old chief said after careful consideration.


    Wu Mo smiled and replied, "Chief, that''s exactly what I''ve nned. They''ll all obtain unique abilities."


    He knew that the transformation of these elite soldiers would be like adding wings to a tiger. They would create a solid barrier for the country''s security.


    In addition, he did not assign the soldiers superpowers that were merely shy but impractical.


    These warriors needed to carry out their missions with truly practical abilities.


    For example, their skin would be tough and resistant to high temperatures and the cold. They could even fight against hunger.


    These powers would be far more useful than fire, ice, and the like!


    "Very good, Wu Mo. I''ll leave this matter to you. I trust you, of course."


    The old chief smiled and patted him on the shoulder.


    He had a lot of faith in Wu Mo.


    Anything that Wu Mo said was most likely true!


    Following that, the outstanding doctors were all sent to the hospital.


    Wu Mo also performed a series of operations on the Special Forces soldiers who had been transferred by the military.


    In three whole days, a hundred of them had undergone aplete transformation.


    He had injected various abilities into their bodies.


    These abilities were in and inconspicuous, but they were rtively useful.


    As the news spread, the entire world grew excited.


    So many surgeons in China could carry out the body modification surgery!


    A few richer countries were even brazen enough to offer a lot of money for simr surgery.


    "Haha, do you really think that we created this surgery from nothing? Haven''t you heard of the saying? If you don''t have what it takes, then you just don''t have what it takes," a?representative from China said at a press conference.


    Wu Mo immediately revealed a smile when he heard about this.


    The bio-modification capsule was the most important thing, not the one who performed the surgery¡­


    As such, the hopes of the wealthy from other countries were dashed. They could not poach the doctors from China!


    Despite that, they did not give up.


    They tried to transfer this technology to their own soldiers.


    However, Wu Mo imed that these extraordinary powers were not for everyone!


    This meant that the Special Forces in other countries had to take a back seat.


    Everyone had to ept this before they made any arrangements for organ transnts.


    With that said, some heard that China''s Special Forces had alreadypleted their mission.


    Therefore, they expressed dissatisfaction with China''s actions.


    However, something very interesting happened today.


    "What the hell is wrong with you? Isn''t it obvious that we''ve only extended our technology to our own people?" the Chinese representative continued coldly.


    His words represented China''s determination, but it was ludicrous for someone in his position to say such a thing.


    This was someone else''s problem. What did it have to do with him? Nothing!


    Yet, he still said those things out loud as if he had been driven into desperation.


    "Mr. Wu, we''ve found something extraordinary on Dark Star!"


    Just then, a guard walked in.


    Wu Mo was slightly taken aback. He was still trying to simplify and perfect his operation.


    However, after he heard about Dark Star, he quickly threw the device in his hand aside.


    He then ran in the research center''s direction.


    He could see it clearly on a big screen.


    There was a huge mine on the, and there seemed to be a space tunnel below it!


    "Oh, was this space tunnel created by the Dark Star civilization?"


    Wu Mo pondered for a moment.


    This was not surprising because the Dark Starlings had built a Level 3 civilization before humans.


    Naturally, they would have something simr to a wormhole.


    "Have you ever wondered whether you could travel to the other end of this tunnel and see what kind of world there is?"


    "I have," Wu Mo said in a deep voice.


    His assistant shook his head with a bitter smile!


    "No, I haven''t! Mr. Wu, we don''t know what''s on the other end of this space tunnel, so we can only seize control of it first, just in case."


    Wu Mo nodded. This was the best solution.


    However, he still had to see where the end of the tunnel was first.


    "Let''s do it this way. Send in a small reconnaissance satellite and observe the area."


    "Yes, Mr. Wu!"


    They all had the same idea, but they had to find the right moment to spit it out.


    Soon after, a miniature reconnaissance satellite was ced in the tunnel.


    Immediately after, the air around it began to distort.


    The inside of the tunnel looked like a folded mirror with many reflections!


    The reconnaissance satellite bounced back before it blew up in smoke.


    This was the most critical moment. Everyone''s eyes were wide open as they waited for the satellite tond.


    Thirty secondster, the real-time tracking image on the big screen revealed what happened.


    The reconnaissance satellite was now on a mysterious.


    It was eight light-years away from Dark Star.


    However, after Wu Mo consulted his star map, he was shocked to discover that this was supposed to be the destroyed Fita!


    "Is this what I think it is? It looks like Dark Star has built a passageway between their home and Fita. They''ve saved us a lot of time!"


    The moment Wu Mo saw this, heughed out loud.


    He had been searching for Fita, but he had never found it.


    Thanks to this wormhole, he managed to easily determine its location.


    "Send our people to Fita immediately, but be very careful. Fita is likely the stronghold of Dark Star''s forces!" Wu Mo immediately ordered.


    As he spoke, he gave another order to ensure that nothing went wrong.


    "The Invincible Space Team has sent out twenty battleships, ten defense ships, and ten scouting ships. These spaceships will move at more than twice the speed of sound and act as their cover!


    "Yes, Mr. Wu!"


    At this moment, someone on Dark Star immediately took control of the space tunnel.


    Then, huge mechs slowly entered it in session.


    One should know that Dark Star''s space tunnel wasrge.


    It was a piece of cake for these robots to travel through!


    In the end, more than twenty mechs entered the space tunnel.


    In less than thirty seconds, they were teleported to another ce.


    This was a bigger world, and the civilization here far surpassed that of Dark Star!


    With a casual nce, one could tell that the two civilizations were different!


    Fita''s military might not have beenparable to Dark Star''s, and this led to the destruction of their cultural heritage.

 Chapter 703 Something’s Wrong

    <h4>Chapter 703 Something''s Wrong</h4>


    While the Invincible Space Team advanced at full speed, the mechs took over the!


    "Wait, wait! Dark Star has upied this, but why aren''t they sending their army to defend it? Why is it in this state? Are they really willing to let go of such a well-established Level 3 civilization?"


    Hearing his subordinate''s report, Wu Mo frowned.


    It did not make sense at all!


    However, he immediately pped his own thigh.


    He finally realized that he had made a serious mistake.


    After they upied Dark Star, they sent the news to Fita.


    The Dark Star warriors on Fita must have fled!


    "Activate a huge surveince satellite and monitor the entire immediately. Also, tell everybody to look for cover deep underground. Understand?" Wu Mo quickly instructed a mech operator in front of him.


    "Understood, Mr. Wu. We''ll look for it!"


    Wu Mo realized that there were no Dark Star lifeforms on the surface. The only way was to explore the depths of the earth.


    All the mechs slowly shifted their bodies.


    Then, they used their radar to scan the area more than thirty meters underground.


    Wu Mo was confident that they would not be able to escape while they were close by.


    Sure enough, after only half a day, the ten mechs headed straight for the top of a mountain!


    There seemed to be a hollowed out section in the mountain, which contained the aura of a Dark Star warrior!


    Seeing this, the mech operators from Dark Star dared not act on their own. They quickly reported to Wu Mo.


    "Arrest all the people there. I want to see why they''ve been hiding," Wu Mo said decisively.


    Then, all the mechs stood at the entrance of the cave and aimed their strongest weapons at it. They wanted to ensure that no one could escape.


    Soon, someone shouted.


    By now, Dark Star''s writing system had been deciphered.


    Everyone could use their ownmunication devices to trante the Dark Starlings''nguage!


    "You''re all trapped. Show yourselves!"


    The cave was silent. Everyone was silent.


    On top of that, the cave was pitch-ck, so they could not sense anything without using a detector.


    "Hurry up, or else, we''ll st this cave into smithereens!" the threatening voice rang out again.


    However, the cave remained deathly quiet, which made everyone frown.


    "Huh, what''s going on? Why isn''t there anyone here?"


    At this moment, everyone sensed that something was wrong.


    "Let''s throw a grenade in there and see what happens!"


    Boom!


    The cave was still silent after they threw the grenade.


    This time, they were finally convinced that something was wrong!


    Had the Dark Starlings gone somewhere else?


    "Let''s go! upy the cave quickly!"


    Then, the Special Forces rushed in with machine guns.


    However, they found corpses lying in every corner of the cave. They were all Dark Starlings.


    There was a total of 133!


    It was deathly silent.


    Themander''s expression was gloomy. He did not expect to see them dead.


    He had intended to capture these Dark Star warriors.


    He had learned about the whereabouts of Fita''s lost cultural essence from the Dark Starlings.


    They had attacked Fita after all.


    Right then, he noticed that all the advanced equipment on this had disappeared.


    Apart from some eroded rivers and mountains, there was only a dpidated castle.


    In other words, this ce was not evenparable to Eternal Sun.


    Everything on Eternal Sun had been destroyed, and everything needed to be rebuilt.


    However, it had many precious things.


    Meanwhile, Fita should have had fertilend.


    Instead, it was bare, and it had a nauseating stench.


    It seemedpletely deste.


    The entire was gone, and no one knew where everyone had gone!


    "Hurry up and report to Mr. Wu!" Themander sighed and ordered his adjutant helplessly.


    Not long after, Wu Mo received the message, but he remained silent.


    Just then, the old chief obtained some huge spoils of war!


    "Mr. Wu, can you tell me what this is?"


    As soon as he finished speaking, the scene on screen changed.


    Wu Mo could clearly see what it was.


    It was a pair of boxing gloves, which were golden in color.


    There was still some dried blood on them.


    The gloves were also covered in sharp steel des.


    Each de was as thin as a strand of hair, and there were millions of them!


    "It''s emanating a strong murderous aura. Is it a legendary weapon?" Wu Mo gasped in wonder.


    Even the most advanced machine would find it difficult to produce gloves with so many des.


    In other words, this should be an extremely high-tech product!


    Besides, why did they make such gloves? Were they used to kill others?


    "Mr. Wu, there''s an extremely valuable chip as well. Half of it has been damaged, but with technological means, we can restore eighty percent of its contents!" an officer said excitedly.


    Wu Mo nodded and ordered them to send him the image in the chip as soon as possible!


    Following the restoration of the AI chip, he could see what was inside.


    He saw arge number of ck shadows carrying out a massacre!


    A group of aliens were being killed, and they looked very simr to the Dark Starlings.


    Wu Mo was certain that they were from Fita.


    However, he did not understand why those mysterious shadows would kill them so unscrupulously.


    The ck shadows killed the Fitans and ran in another direction toward some ruins!


    Wu Mo could clearly see that there was a battleship in the ruins.


    It had a strange shape like that of a thin snake.


    "What kind of spaceship is that? Also, could those shadows be of a certain race? But why were they killing indiscriminately?"


    Wu Mo frowned.


    There was actually such a strange power in this world.


    He had never seen anything like it before.


    Could there be another unknown civilization within ten light-years?


    Right then, a team of Dark Starlings appeared at the end of the video.


    The shadows that were about to leave suddenly stopped as if they had smelled something!


    Wu Mo could already guess what happened next.


    The Dark Starlings had not been able to defeat them, so they had hidden in the cave. However, they were still destroyed in the end.

 Chapter 704 Slaughtering Demon

    <h4>Chapter 704 ughtering Demon</h4>


    That could have only happenedter.


    In that era, the whole of Fita had been on the verge of destruction!


    Wu Mo made up his mind.


    However, a deafening boom came from the.


    A mysterious spaceship slowly descended, and dozens of people walked out.


    Their entire bodies were covered in some kind of soft ck skin.


    Then, these aliens frantically raced forward!


    Crackle...


    They were wearing strange gloves that were extremely sharp.


    Immediately after, red light shot out of their fists, and a few small holes appeared on the ceiling!


    Soon after, disaster followed. The entire Eternal Sun descended into chaos.


    "Oh, my God, oh, my God! The bloodthirsty demons are here! Run!"


    The first to bear the brunt was not China''s base but the base camp of a small country.


    They never made a bet with Wu Mo, so they maintained ownership of their stronghold.


    Besides, they had also obtained the dome''s protection in the auction.


    The assassins should be encountering trouble once they descended on the building!


    They were exploring the area, and not far away was a huge coal area.


    Although they missed a few ces, they were dealing with a mine. Even small mines could not be underestimated!


    However, the merciless demons suddenly appeared.


    They held what looked likeser guns in their hands, and they fired wildly at the crowd.


    More than ten people within the stronghold did not manage to escape in time, and they were instantly killed!


    Soon, the demons entered the building and continued their killing spree.


    Therefore, everyone ran away from the stronghold and toward the direction of China''s base.


    China''s base consisted of multiple structures.


    In Wu Mo''s bet, China had obtained more than ten strongholds, which formed a huge city!


    Explosions kept ringing out, and the entire base was in an uproar.


    Hearing this, countless people stopped what they were doing.


    Everyone was focused on themotion caused by the uninvited guests!


    "Ah! Demons? Hurry up and find out what''s going on!"


    At this moment, everyone in thergest control room at the center was watching the footage on screen.


    These monsters were wearing strange ck animal skins.


    They also had short tails and slender limbs.


    However, their bodies were simr in size to humans!


    They were all holding something, which resembled a rifle. However, its shape was a little strange.


    Armed with these assault rifles, they swept across the area. Wherever they went, everything would be razed to the ground!


    "What''s going on? Could they be bandits from another universe?" an officer eximed before he quickly mobilized all the artillery fire.


    He wanted to suppress the enemy''s firepower.


    "Attack! Kill them at all costs!" amander ordered.


    Immediately after, they activated electromaic pulse cannons from more than ten different directions.


    They aimed the cannons at the "demons" that were pouncing on them!


    Boom boom boom!


    An electromaic pulse cannon was fired, and a green light beam shot out.


    In an instant, the building in front of them was blown into pieces.


    Those demons had rushed into the building.


    They did not have time to escape, so they were torn to pieces!


    "Hehe! I thought that they were really strong, but it turns out that they''re the scum left behind by a destroyed race." Themander revealed a disdainful expression.


    However, everyone was stunned after the smoke dispersed!


    "This can''t be, right?"


    An extremely strange scene appeared before them.


    The entire building had been razed to the ground, but dozens of demons were standing above the rubble!


    They did not have eyes, but they were heading straight for the central headquarters.


    "Oh, no! We''ve been exposed!" someone eximed in a trembling voice.


    For some reason, he felt a chill run down his spine.


    Right then, those fiendish demons disappeared into thin air!


    Swoosh swoosh...


    They blew past everything like the wind and appeared to be much faster than a cheetah.


    Not to mention, they were still elerating.


    Three secondster, they arrived at the central base.


    "Oh, no! Hurry up and report this to Mr. Wu!" one of the officers shouted.


    Then, all the officers and defense forces in the central stronghold were mobilized.


    Da da da¡­


    They fired the hidden electromaic cannons wildly as they deployed more tanks and smallbat mechs. Before long, they surrounded the demons.


    This was the human race''s base camp. Nothing could go wrong!


    Furthermore, Wu Mo had left them with many backup ns!


    "Goldma etrusche..."


    One of the demons suddenly let out a strange sound.


    Then, they all scattered.


    A tank and a small mechanical vehicle were targeting three of the demons!


    However, a bloodthirsty demon suddenly raised its weapon at this moment.


    It took off its gloves and threw them forward.


    Pa, pa, pa!


    The gloves were extremely sharp, and they struck a mech.


    Its powerful armor was shattered into pieces.


    "Ah! It''s so powerful! What was that? I didn''t even see it!"


    The young pilot in the cockpit was dumbfounded.


    Bang!


    The cannons and tanks opened fire at the three monsters.


    However, the demons were so fast that they even outmaneuvered the cannonballs.


    Everyone was amazed by their reaction speed!


    On the other side, a team of officers were quickly retreating to the dome''s periphery.


    The demons were also attacking other countries!


    Therefore, those in the survivor camp left and gathered together. It looked like the apocalypse wasing.


    "Hurry up! We can''t stay here any longer. They''re too terrifying!"


    At this moment, an officer ordered the rest of them to flee toward the oasis.


    Not long after, Wu Mo learned of this shocking matter!


    He never thought there would be such a thing in this world.


    However, after a while, Wu Mo gently put down a capsule in his hand.


    "Could they be those monsters that killed on Fita?" he pondered.

 Chapter 705 Defeat

    The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was very likely.


    In other words, they had not obtained the essence of this civilization!


    There was only one possibility: They had been focusing on smaller threats when there was a much bigger one.


    Now, these savage killers had set their sights on Eternal Sun.[1]


    "I never imagined that there would be so many marvelous things in the boundless universe. We might study the structure of their bodies in our future research."


    Wu Mo was deep in thought.


    Soon after, he activated all the hidden factions on the.


    He wanted to capture all these demons in one fell swoop.


    "de Squad, capture them all no matter the cost!"


    With Wu Mo''s order, the de Squad that had been waiting on Eternal Sun immediately began to move.


    This squad was a special force under Wu Mo.


    It had a total of fifty members, and each member possessed their own special abilities.


    Some of them were skilled shooters, and one could even say that they were the best in the army!


    Some were proficient in explosives, some were proficient in dealing with information, and others were proficient inputer technology.


    The de Squad moved quickly and aimed their weapons at the crazy demons.


    By now, China''s entire base had been invaded.


    The main camp was the only one still barely holding on!


    China''s elite soldiers had all returned to their bases on Earth.


    "D*mn it! My efforts have gone to waste!"


    One of themanders smiled when he saw the scene.


    Then, he shook his head and reluctantly entered a space tunnel.


    More space tunnels opened in session in the same location!


    When the army saw them, they quickly made arrangements for their amodation.


    Immediately after, Wu Mo discovered that the demons had actually engaged in a head-on battle with the de Squad.


    Bang bang bang!


    Outside the base, there was a rain of bullets everywhere, and demons were leaving a trail of murder.


    They were extremely fast and agile. Even a rain of bullets could not catch up with them!


    "What kind of creatures are they? How can they break through our defensive barrier and dodge bullets so quickly?"


    Wu Mo frowned.


    A group of top-notch biologists had already gathered around him.


    They had studied the structure of the human body for many years, and they were puzzled by the outsiders'' strange behavior!


    "Mr. Wu, why does it feel like those aliens have gone through many mutations to possess such strange skills?" an old man with white hair said in a very serious voice.


    Wu Mo nodded. "They''re very fast. If they''re living beings that are about the same size as us, they shouldn''t be so fast!"


    Wu Mo stared at one of the demons.


    Its speed had already exceeded the speed of sound. It was a speed that even bullets could not reach!


    "Don''t worry! Our vanguard is already on the way. We just need to surround this ce. No matter how strong they are, we can defeat them all!" an officer said.


    They saw that in front of them, the de Squad wasying down a huge. Everyone was doing what they were best at.


    Some people even tried tomunicate with themand center through theputer.


    He closed everyone''s door and did not allow anyone to enter.


    There were also some young people who picked up their sniper rifles.


    He wanted to rely on his powerful shooting skills to blow up those monsters that killed without blinking!


    "It hit! It hit!"


    Suddenly, a young man from the de Squad shot and took out one of the killers.


    After being hit by this attack, the fiendish man could no longer resist.


    He fell to the ground with a loud bang and fell into madness.


    "Hehe, although they are agile, their defense is really too weak. This is good!"


    Now, they saw the army and rushed forward to control the monster.


    They could already tell that this monster was a human-like alien.


    Their skin was natural!


    In other words, they had no facial features or feces. They were only covered with skin.


    Their skin was very slippery, like an earthworm covered in glue. It was very difficult to grab it with one''s hands!


    "No wonder they''re so fast. With their size and skin, they can fly with the lowest resistance."


    Wu Mo looked at this scene and muttered to himself.


    However, what puzzled him was, why didn''t they take a break?


    Where would they eat and where would their feces be?


    Without these two, where would the external powere from?


    This demon was injected with anesthetic, and it fell into aa.


    Then, he was tied up and brought back to a main to be examined in detail.


    The other demons also realized that theirrades had been captured and went crazy!


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Those demons moved quickly.


    Theyunched an attack on the members of the de Squad who were hiding at the periphery.


    "Be careful, they''re going crazy!"


    At this moment, the officer had already sent out a warning through themunicator.


    Then, a ball of scarlet lightning suddenly erupted from his body!


    Kacha kacha...


    Thisyer of red electric current greatly increased their defense.


    He blocked a few bullets and arrived in front of the group of people.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    In a closebat situation, these young people were not his match at all.


    Every single one of them was well-trained.


    However, they were helpless against this monster who killed without batting an eye.


    For example, if you threw a punch, you wouldn''t be able to produce any substantial power.


    On the contrary, it would make one lose their bnce and stagger forward.


    The group of young men fell to the ground one after another, letting out mournful cries.


    However, those killers had no intention of killing them.


    Instead, after searching the surroundings, he quickly rushed in the direction of an oasis!


    "Oh no! They were heading to the spatial passageway! Hurry up and stop him!"


    At this moment, themanders on the main saw this scene and their faces turned pale.


    What if those bloodthirsty demons descended from the universe to Earth?


    Wouldn''t that cause a huge uproar?


    At this moment, a demon moved at lightning speed.


    He broke through their obstruction and entered the pitch-ck spatial passageway.


    [1] All instances of Changyang have been changed to Eternal Sun.

 Chapter 706 Special Alert

    "Everyone, fight with me!"


    At this moment, a soldier immediately stood up.


    With a single order, the entire spatial passageway was sealed.


    Everyone was on high alert, waiting for the arrival of this killing machine.


    Boom!


    Suddenly, a loud sound came from the other end of the wormhole. Then, thick smoke rose in all directions and white light shot in all directions!


    "Ah! Stun grenades? Everyone, back off!"


    No one was sure what was inside the grenade, so they could only observe it carefully.


    At this moment, Wu Mo walked over and used his binocrs to observe the surroundings!


    A ck shadow shed past the sh grenade.


    "He went that way! Hurry up and cheer up!"


    For a moment, the entire stronghold fell into panic as they ran east.


    "What kind of wisdom is this! He knew that he was being watched, so he brought the stun grenade from Eternal Sun here. The moment he entered, he detonated the stun grenade so that he could escape?"


    Wu Mo''s face was gloomy as he spoke slowly.


    It was obvious that this alien not only had incredible power.


    Moreover, he had extremely high intelligence. In the face of danger, he still maintained his calm.


    He even understood a lot of principles!


    This was an ominous premonition.


    This murderous fellow had already run far away and was about to disappear from everyone''s sight.


    "Impossible! He had to find it, or else it would be an unstable bomb!"


    With Wu Mo''s order, everyone on the base was on high alert.


    re!


    The entire base was suddenly filled with the piercing sound of police sirens.


    The workers who were still conducting experiments were shocked.


    "Ah! What was going on?"


    Everyone was shocked and looked out the window.


    One had to know that this base had only sounded once since it was built.


    When the sea monsters approached, it would give out a warning.


    Now that the rm was sounding, a greater danger had arrived!


    "What happened? Why was there such an rm?"


    A doctor who was performing a surgery in the Institute of Special Biology asked curiously.


    The adjutant rushed over, panting. He shouted, "Oh, no. A powerful alien has entered our base and is trying to escape!"


    Ah! Those extraterrestrials actually ran into his territory and escaped?


    All the top surgeons looked at each other in surprise.


    They could see each other''s worry.


    From this moment on, everyone''s lives would be in great danger!


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    The ground trembled slightly as a team of Special Forces soldiers walked over with weapons in their hands, ready to fight.


    "Please don''t worry. We will ensure your safety. You can continue!"


    The leading officer smiled.


    With their protection, the doctors finally felt a little more at ease.


    Then, he concentrated and began to perform organ transnts for others.


    Wu Mo was also giving out orders continuously, allowing everyone to see his every move!


    All the surveince cameras covered this area.


    All the perspectives were connected together, forming a three-dimensional dynamic world.


    At this moment, Wu Mo and the other generals were watching the scene that was gradually changing.


    "Yes, right there!"


    At this moment, someone with sharp eyes saw a ck shadow sh and disappear, pointing straight at the side of the screen.


    Wu Mo and the others looked over, and the ck shadow actually disappeared into thin air just like that!


    Then, a ck shadow appeared and disappeared in the virtual world.


    However, it could be seen that the ck shadow had already left the Institute of Special Biology.


    "Oh no, he''s heading in our direction. Quick, quick, we have to be prepared and send reinforcements immediately!" Wu Mo quickly said.


    Themander at the Institute of Special Biology shouted, "Everyone! That alien creature was most likely here!"


    Immediately, the elite Special Forces soldiers took out their weapons and prepared for battle.


    The air was filled with a heavy atmosphere.


    People were filled with fear of this unknown thing.


    Because only God knew when it would appear!


    At the same time, Wu Mo''s reinforcement team finally arrived.


    They saw the special research center at a nce.


    At this moment, a ck shadow suddenly appeared on the ground in front of them!


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    He ran all the way and soon arrived at the institute''s door. He wanted to force his way in.


    "Oh, no! Beat him to death!" the officer immediately shouted.


    The few young men who were closer to him immediately fired at the figure!


    Ta ta ta ta!


    A barrage of bullets poured out and smashed the door into a thousand holes, making it look like a piece of scrap metal.


    However, the ck shadow moved very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it arrived at the side door and was about to break open!


    Boom!


    At this moment, the ck shadow had already rushed in.


    "Heavens, what''s going on?"


    A doctor was holding an instrument in his hand. When he saw this terrifying alien, he immediately cried out in surprise!


    "Don''t be afraid, Dr. Chen. We''re here!"


    Several Special Forces soldiers rushed over and fired at the figure.


    "He''s over there. Catch him!"


    A man waved his hand. The five young men were all very careful, and their hearts were hanging in their chests.


    They aimed at that position and ced their hands on the muzzle of their guns as they approached step by step.


    Bang!


    At this moment, the pill furnace suddenly rose from the ground and flew over.


    "Dodge!"


    The group of people quickly retreated to the side.


    Taking advantage of this opportunity, the man in ck quickly ran into the depths of theboratory!


    "D*mn it! That''s the storage room of the biochemical suit. Block it!"


    In the institute, a researcher''s expression turned ugly when he saw that scene.


    This was not a joke. There were many biochemical capsules stored inside.


    It would be fun if something went wrong!


    However, it was obvious that the target of those fiendish devils was this small cabin!


    His speed was extremely fast as he grabbed a capsule that was ced in a ss box.


    Then, he tightened his grip.


    The ss cab immediately shattered into pieces, and the ck shadow flew away!


    "D*mn it! He has a dozen pills in his hand. You have to stop him!"


    At this moment, everyone panicked. If it was really taken away, wouldn''t Mr. Wu''s previous efforts be in vain?


    They would never let such a thing happen!


    Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!


    For a moment, teams of fully armed Special Forces soldiers swarmed in from all directions and quickly surrounded the entire stronghold.

 Chapter 707 The Mech Battle Unit Has Finally Arrived

    <h4>Chapter 707 The Mech Battle Unit Has Finally Arrived</h4>


    "That kid is missing, but he must still be in this base. I don''t know where he is now!"


    Wu Mo listened to his subordinate''s report, and his expression immediately turned ugly.


    That was something that he had obtained from the system''s store with great difficulty. It was priceless.


    In the end, did the group of people who killed without batting an eyelid take it?


    There was another important point. What were those killers after?


    Wu Mo''s heart tightened as a terrifying thought shed through his mind.


    Did they finally realize how valuable that special capsule was?


    That''s why they wanted to use the advanced system''s store to increase their luck!


    "Could it be an advanced civilization? They would have a purpose for collecting it!"


    Wu Mo had even guessed many terrifying possibilities.


    If that was the case, then these advanced civilizations had destroyed Fita.


    Now that he had locked onto Eternal Sun, it was very likely that his goal was extremely terrifying!


    In this sense, they might be plotting something.


    Then, Wu Mo realized that the base was surrounded.


    Furthermore, there was arge number of soldiers guarding outside.


    Therefore, no matter what, this monster could not escape!


    Wu Mo''s expression was gloomy. He did not want to see such a situation either.


    However, he also knew.


    He had to atone for his sins and find that bastard.


    "Mr. Wu, we still don''t know where that kid is, but we''ll find him one day!"


    An officer stood up and said to Wu Mo seriously.


    Wu Mo nodded, but after thinking about it, he did not say anything more and only instructed.


    "Activate the holographic scanning device!"


    When Wu Mo said this, everyone was shocked.


    An 860-degree holographic scanner?


    This was another advanced technology!


    This holographic scanning device could turn the entire underground stronghold into a translucent ss membrane.


    Then, he used this holographic scanning device.


    He could see everyone inside clearly!


    In other words, nothing could escape the scanning of this holographic scanner.


    Then, a huge instrument was slowly pushed out.


    Then, rays of white light emitted from the instrument.


    Beams of white light poured down from the sky, enveloping the entire camp.


    Then, a huge screen appeared in front of everyone.


    This detector could prate hard metal and cement walls. It could break through anything!


    Finally, everyone made a new discovery.


    He saw a ck figure hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity.


    Wu Mo suddenly raised a finger, signaling for everyone to be quiet.


    They immediately surrounded them from all directions.


    A group of Special Forces soldiers with electromaic guns quietly approached the ce.


    But unfortunately, that mysterious alien killer didn''t realize his existence.


    He was not aware of his existence.


    Instead, he was hiding in the dark, trying to move toward the entrance of the base.


    "Kill him!"


    At this moment, Wu Mo suddenly spoke.


    Wu Mo had a terrifying premonition that if he allowed him to live, he would bring him endless disaster.


    When Wu Mo''s order was to silence them, everyone''s hearts were in their throats.


    But soon, they gritted their teeth and obeyed Wu Mo''s orders!


    "Fire!" he shouted."


    Ta¡­


    A team of Special Forces immediately started firing wildly at the soldier.


    The soldier was riddled with holes.


    In this case, once he was hit, he would die!


    Everyone came to a conclusion. Once this thing was blown up, the body''s defense would be blown up.


    Their strongest points were their strength and speed, as well as that strange spirit energy.


    Therefore, Wu Mo no longer needed to keep this person for experiments.


    It was because they had once caught such a "demon."


    Boom!


    Immediately after, a huge explosion sounded in the stronghold.


    It was unknown who threw a bomb over, but it turned the stronghold into a mess.


    When the dust settled, everyone rushed forward.


    He wanted to see if the monster had been sted into pieces.


    Then, he saw a pile of biochemical capsules on the ground.


    That demon had disappeared without a trace!


    "No! We didn''t use nuclear weapons. We shouldn''t have turned it into gas. We even dposed it into powder. What exactly happened?"


    Amander stood in the middle of the ruins, his brows tightly knitted.


    This scene was really thought-provoking, making him puzzled!


    Wu Mo also rushed over. When he saw that the Bio-pods were intact, he immediately felt relieved.


    The outer shell of this thing was very sturdy and could withstand the bombardment of firearms.


    But now, he was nowhere to be seen. He was most likely hiding underground!


    "Use the super alloy drill to dig up the entire underground and find this thing!"


    Wu Mo once again gave out an order in a domineering manner.


    At this moment, the entire base was in chaos. Everyone was busy.


    The first thing they had to do was to search the ground.


    And surround them. They must find him!


    At the same time, Wu Mo did not forget.


    There were still many vicious creatures on the that were attacking their headquarters.


    The other party was about to be in an invincible position.


    However, at this moment, the fighter jet charged over.


    Although there were only three people, they were all special fighter jets.


    Furthermore, it was a battle aircraft that was specially used in the main city of Eternal Sun.


    Everyone knew that the person leading them was the Mech Department''s senior, the outstanding pilot, Dongfang Moyu!


    At this moment, Dongfang Moyu''s face was calm and solemn.


    He and two other outstanding juniors were piloting three mechs from afar.


    His gaze fell on the killing machines that were rampaging in the main base. A cold glint shed across his eyes!


    "Oh, the mechs are here. We''re saved!"


    At this moment, all the researchers and officers heaved a sigh of relief.


    Those who hadn''t escaped into the oasis heaved a sigh of relief.


    Fortunately, their fighter jet had arrived quickly. If they had been slow, it would have been tragic!


    The moment these three mechanical warriors appeared.


    It immediately attracted the attention of the bloodthirsty monsters in the headquarters.


    They all rushed toward the entrance of the headquarters.


    "%^*(*%$..."


    The abominations let out strange roars and leaped up, charging toward the metal mechs!


    "Hehe, you really don''t know. Do you think the defense of the metal armor will be so easy to break through?" Dongfang Moyu said calmly.

 Chapter 708 The Pirnaian

    <h4>Chapter 708 The Pirnaian</h4>


    The leader of the murderous group grabbed the mech in front of him first!


    Creak...


    Right then, a deep scratch mark appeared on the mech''s heavy metal shield.


    Dongfang Moyu was also shocked.


    One should know that even the sea monsters from before could not damage his mech with just one attack!


    The mech''s exterior was made of a mysterious metal from space, and it had been synthesized into many alloys.


    Its current mechanical armor was much better than previous versions.


    Even those extremely powerful Sea Monster Kings might not be able to damage it with their sharp ws!


    Besides, the demon before Dongfang Moyu was much smaller than the Sea Monster King.


    How could it leave such a mark so easily?


    If it did the same thing again, would the metal shield break?


    Dongfang Moyu''s expression changed.


    He finally understood why they had to kill all these fiendish beings.


    They were truly as terrifying as demons!


    "Charge! Kill all of them, and don''t let a single one of them escape!" he ordered.


    His two apprentices hurriedly nodded, and all three of their mechs flew forward.


    Puff!


    They whirled around and exerted great force with each hit.


    Pa, pa, pa!


    Their mechanical arms moved very quickly, but they could only smash the ground and make noise.


    Despite their numbers, the demons were able to skillfully dodge the mechanical arms of the three mechs!


    Meanwhile, on Earth, Wu Mo shuddered when he saw the scene.


    ''Even such agile mechs can''t catch them. It is indeed difficult to deal with this group!'' Wu Mo thought to himself.


    To make things worse, he had no idea what to do now!


    The demons had poor defense, but they had amazing agility.


    They need to defeat them with arge nuclear weapon. It was the only way.


    They had to destroy the buildingpletely and kill all these assassins inside!


    Capturing the demons would be a waste of time. It was impossible!


    "What now Mr. Wu? Even the mechs can''t do anything to them. I''m trying to keep them here!" an officer shouted into themunicator with a serious expression.


    Wu Mo had to make a decision.


    If he was too slow, the viinous Dark Starlings on Eternal Sun would be killed.


    However, this was equivalent to Wu Mo surrendering Eternal Sun. He had worked so hard for it for so many years, so how could he ept this?


    "We don''t have a choice now. We can only send more battleships!" Wu Mo muttered to himself for a moment before he issued the order.


    "Oh, send two more Fleeting Ghosts!"


    Wu Mo felt much more at ease when he thought of the terrifying Fleeting Ghost ships.


    As Wu Mo spoke, he searched his mind for information rted to these killers.


    Such a terrifying alien race could not be unknown.


    Perhaps he could check the records in some ancient books.


    Also, why did they appear here?


    "Found it! I''ve been doing some research."


    At this moment, excitement shed across one of his men''s eyes. He had seen the records of this alien race.


    "Alright, let''s see who they are."


    There was a hint of curiosity in Wu Mo''s gaze.


    His eyes were fixed on a tablet.


    Based on the information on it, an unknown race came here a hundred years ago!


    They even stopped on the nearest for a while.


    It waste at night when a figure slowly appeared at the peak of a mountain. It caused everyone to panic.


    After that, all the videos and pictures about it were determined to be fake.


    The records and documents had been tampered with.


    The videos were obviously fake. However, this was a vague statement, and very few coulde to a definitive conclusion.


    However, when Wu Mopared the records, that was indeed the case.


    The demons who killed without batting an eye were most likely from an alien called Pirna!


    Pirna was more than thirty light-years away.


    It was not in the gxy they were in, so how did the demons get here?


    Also, why did they choose to wander around here instead of going to others?


    "Mr. Wu, they must be aliens from Pirna. The way they look and move are exactly the same!" a deputy general spoke in a deep voice.


    The documents recorded how the Pirnaians moved and how agile they were.


    More importantly, they clearly stated that the Pirnaians did not have any internal organs.


    They did not need to eat as they had their own energy sources.


    Humanscked such advanced abilities.


    "Yes, I think only the Pirnaians can do this because Pirna is much weaker than others!"


    Wu Mo nodded and voiced his thoughts.


    If the demons were the Pirnaians, it would be difficult to deal with them.


    The documents only contained a simple description of them.


    He knew nothing about their living habits.


    In other words, it was almost impossible to find their weakness.


    The information avable was all spection!


    "What should we do now, Mr. Wu?"


    The people around him looked embarrassed.


    Although they had confirmed that their enemies were Pirnaians, they did not have a good way to deal with them.


    Therefore, they did not think that they would be triumphant!


    At this moment, Wu Mo''s gaze fell on the center of the screen.


    The superalloy tunneling machines were about to drill a hole in the ground.


    However, the main base did not capture any images of the Pirnaians.


    It was a question worth pondering. If they were not underground, where could they be?


    They did not find any traces of them in the air either.


    Even their remains were nowhere to be seen on the ground.


    However, the Pirnaians had already been discovered. Did they disappear without a trace?


    "Wait! Dimensional space! They''re entering a different dimension!"


    Wu Mo''s heart skipped a beat as he imagined the worst possible scenario¡­


    In other words, that Pirnaians probably had the ability to travel through the fourth dimension!


    In other words, they were not only well-versed with space and time, but they were also able to jump through space.


    They could teleport to another ne in a distorted arc.


    If the Pirnaians had such an ability, it would exin how they suddenly disappeared under such a tight siege!

 Chapter 709 Super Heavy Weapon

    <h4>Chapter 709 Super Heavy Weapon</h4>


    "F*ck. Could they be life forms from the fourth dimension? If that''s true, how could they not have dodged our attack?"


    At this moment, even Wu Mo was speechless. It was as if there was a thick fog blocking his vision.


    Wu Mo had been preparing to transform Fita, Dark Star, Eternal Sun, and the regions where the human race resided into habitablends.


    Unfortunately, the Pirnaians had appeared in all four territories!


    They were like space bandits. Wherever they passed, they left a mess behind.


    "No. We have to capture them. Otherwise, the civilization on our will be destroyed in an instant!"


    Wu Mo narrowed his eyes and made a prompt decision.


    Not long after, he received an important piece of news. The Pirnaians had appeared again!


    However, they had seemingly gained a new power.


    "Huh? How did they end up having such a special ability?"


    Wu Mo was stunned when he heard the news.


    ording to the information he received, the Pirnaians were able to set themselves on fire.


    This was on top of their amazing mobility.


    Therefore, Wu Mo''s team dared not get too close to the Pirnaians and only watched from afar.


    "Mr. Wu, I''m hoping that you''ll order us to execute them. Otherwise, God knows how much trouble they''ll cause!" An officer shook his head and sighed.


    The Pirnaians had obliterated a few chambers in his stronghold.


    Valuable information had been destroyed!


    The fire was spreading, so the firefighters got to work immediately after they arrived at the scene.


    With how things were, everyone felt greatly humiliated.


    They wanted nothing more than to kill the Pirnaians.


    Otherwise, their actions would likely cause a destructive blow to the entire human race.


    "Kill them with the super-electromaic weapons!" Wu Mo quickly said.


    Everyone was overjoyed when they saw his determination.


    They surrounded ten electromaic cannons and started firing in a frenzy.


    Bang bang bang!


    However, just as the artillery fire was about to hit¡­


    One of the Pirnaians began to smile. It had no facial features, just wrinkles that gathered together to form an expression.


    Everyone felt powerless when they saw this!


    In the next second, the Pirnaian disappeared, and the artillery fire just ended up hitting the air.


    In other words, it was a true four-dimensional life form!


    It could outrun humans and y around with them in other dimensions.


    "Wait. Not every Pirnaian has the ability to teleport, but this one in front of us does!


    With that thought, Wu Mo''s eyes suddenly shed with hope.


    "If that''s the case, we can capture the rest of the Pirnaians and use them as bait to lure the one who can travel to the fourth dimension!"


    Then, they would think of a way to capture it and get any astonishing secrets out of it!"


    That''s right. This was the only way to obtain the secrets of the four-dimensional universe!


    Wu Mo''s eyes lit up, and he felt even more confident.


    Soon after, he began to look at the images of the.


    Wu Mo found that the ce was in a mess. There were more than twenty Pirnaians fighting the mechs.


    The three mechs were beaten ck and blue.


    Their attacks did not have much effect on the bloodthirsty demons from Pirna!


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    The most skilled among the mech pilots was Dongfang Moyu.


    He waved his mech''s arm frantically and shed at the enemy.


    However, his attacks either struck the ground or the equipment.


    He did not really hit the Pirnaians at all.


    It was like using a cannon to kill flies. They consumed a lot of energy, only to obtain extremely insignificant results!


    "D*mn it! Why... Why are they so fast?"


    Dongfang Moyu''s eyes revealed a trace of fear.


    He slowly turned around and began to retreat.


    The other two mechs under hismand gradually retreated as well.


    The three mechs stood side by side, and their pilots were not pleased.


    They were all facing extremely fast killing machines.


    Just then, Wu Mo''s new order came from themunicator.


    "Mechs, retreat! Activate your sma beam guns. Once we find our target, we''ll shoot immediately!"


    Hearing this, Dongfang Moyu''s face immediately turned joyful.


    He had been waiting for this.


    Once they shot the sma beam, those killing machines would never be able to escape!


    They knew how powerful that beam of light was. It definitely exceeded the speed of sound.


    No matter how fast or agile the Pirnaians were, it would be impossible for them to dodge!


    "Hehehe! I''d like to see if you can escape when the sma beam explodes."


    At this moment, Dongfang Moyu wore a disdainful smile.


    The three mechs immediately turned around and left.


    As for the Pirnaians, they were probably confused.


    Why did the three mechs suddenly leave?


    Soon after, a huge sma beamuncher with a pitch-ck muzzle slowly moved over.


    Following Wu Mo''s order, three sma beamunchers were instantly set in position.


    The Pirnaians were confused. What was with the ck cannons?


    Before long, the sma cannons were ready to fire.


    ck light waspressed to the extreme, and it turned into a light spot.


    Right then, the surrounding space began to copse, and the ground began to tremble violently!


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The Pirnaians finally realized what it was. It was an extremely terrifying energy beam.


    They fled into the distance as fast as they could.


    However, it was toote. Everything there was wiped out.


    All the skyscrapers had either been reduced to ruins, or some special detection technology had been used.


    It made the terrain there even moreplicated.


    The sma beams basically attacked everyone present wantonly. Hence, it was impossible to dodge them!


    Rumble!


    They wereparable to scalpels that shed across the Pirnaians'' bodies and killed them one by one.

 Chapter 710 Interrogation

    <h4>Chapter 710 Interrogation</h4>


    Pa, pa, pa!


    The Pirnaians in the sky were hit by the sma beams immediately after, and they fell to the ground.


    "Screw them! No matter how arrogant they are, they''re still going to be sted like stray dogs!" an assistant standing beside Wu Mo shouted excitedly.


    The scene was too satisfying. The Pirnaians, who had left everyone helpless, were actually defeated by the sma beams.


    The Pirnaians fell from the sky one after another.


    Their bodies trembled, but they did not make a sound.


    Da da!


    A Special Forces soldier rushed over and arrested all of them. He handcuffed them and took them to prison.


    Wu Moughed out loud. "No matter how fast they are, they''re not as powerful as sma weapons. That''s why these weapons were chosen to deal with them."


    After he captured the Pirnaians, Wu Mo''s next move was to lure one that could move freely in the four-dimensional space.


    Therefore, he immediately ordered that the battle be disyed on the base''srgest disy screen!


    Following the live broadcast, everyone could clearly see it.


    The three sma beam cannons continued to fire at the Pirnaians.


    They were hit to the point where they could not resist at all.


    "All units, pay attention to the changes in the energy in the air! If there''s anything unusual, shoot immediately. Do not hesitate!" Wu Mo spoke slowly and seriously through themunicator.


    This was the most critical moment. He had to ensure that his n was sessful to kill that Pirnaian in one blow!


    Hearing Wu Mo''s emergency order, everyone''s eyes turned solemn.


    Then, they turned on all of the sensors, and the thick smell of smoke drifted in the air.


    Wu Mo was certain that once the Pirnaian appeared, it would be destroyed.


    He would immediately fire fifty ballistae at it.


    Even divine warriors would be reduced to ashes!


    "Over there! Over there!" one of his subordinates suddenly shouted.


    Then, ten electromaic cannons, thirty electromaic guns, and thirty close-range heavy machine guns were fired.


    Rumble!


    It was as if there were brilliant fireworks in the sky. It was extremely gorgeous.


    Just as the mes reached their peak, a ck figure fell out of the mes.


    "Look over there."


    Immediately, warriors swarmed forward and cast a special lightning at the figure.


    The bolts of lightningnded on the Pirnaian''s body, and it began to squirm.


    Many sensors on the surface of its body emitted a yellow light.


    All of a sudden, Wu Mo felt the air around him be?scorching hot.


    Almost half of that Pirnaian''s body disappeared in an instant.


    It was like a magic trick!


    Now, Wu Mo could finally gauge how it crossed the void.


    By heating up the sensors on its body, it could change space curves.


    From there, it could use the curved space as a wormhole to perform a spatial jump.


    However, another big problem had presented itself.


    How could it exist in two different nes?


    "Take it away. Put electric gloves over its hands, and chain it up."


    "I already know what''s going on," Wu Mo said in a deep voice.


    "Yes, Mr. Wu!"


    Everyone realized the severity of the problem based on Wu Mo''s response.


    Furthermore, he had mobilized so many units and Special Forces members.


    Would they not be courting death if they allowed that Pirnaian to escape under such circumstances?


    After a series of interrogations, Wu Mo waspletely dumbfounded by his subordinate''s report.


    "Huh?! Is the Pirnaian still unwilling to speak?"


    Wu Mo looked over again.


    "Yes, Mr. Wu. It doesn''t seem willing to talk no matter what. With its technology, it can definitely understand what we''re saying. The only possibility is that it''s ying dumb."


    The man was anxious by the end of his sentence, and his face was flushed.


    It was obvious that he intended to use violence to force the Pirnaian to submit.


    However, he still decided to consult Wu Mo first before he made a decision.


    Wu Mo was in a dilemma.


    It was obvious that if they killed this Pirnaian, the rest of them would not exhibit the same power!


    "In that case, I''ll go and ask it myself."


    Soon after, Wu Mo brought two high-level bodyguards into the room.


    The interrogation room was not big, and it was dimly lit.


    As soon as he entered, he caught the strong smell of blood.


    It was clear that they often encountered extremely vicious criminals in this interrogation room.


    Therefore, there were some special interrogation tools in the room.


    They were enough to break the most stubborn person in the world.


    "Tell me that you have the power to travel through the four dimensions, and I''ll let you go. How about it?" Wu Mo said slowly.


    He did this because he wanted to make a fair deal with the Pirnaians.


    Unexpectedly, the Pirnaian revealed a trace of hatred!


    Then, it sent Wu Mo a message in a way that was simr to a "photoelectric effect" on Earth.


    "It''s wishful thinking for a group of lowly ants to explore the mysteries of the fourth dimension!"


    Once they heard what it said, the researchers were instantly enraged. They stepped forward to reprimand it.


    "What nonsense are you talking about? What was that?"


    They smashed a heavy ck staff on the Pirnaian''s head. The staff shattered, and the bled profusely.


    Yet, the Pirnaian did not move. It was expressionless and indifferent.


    Although it was injured, it did not stir in the slightest!


    Wu Mo did not know what to say.


    While he did not want to kill this Pirnaian, it?was really stubborn. What else could he do?


    "In that case, I can only get the rest of the Pirnaians!"


    "Yes, Mr. Wu!"


    When the researchers heard what Wu Mo said, they were so excited that their bodies trembled.


    They seemed to understand Wu Mo''s intentions!


    Soon, they brought a few more of their prisoners.


    The first to be brought into the room was a burly Pirnaian. It was obviously a little riled up!


    "What are you doing, ant?"


    Wu Mo turned back and said, "You didn''t seem to care, so I''m going to let you watch yourpanions die in front of your eyes."


    His eyes gradually turned cold as he gave the order.

 Chapter 711 The Concept Of Four-Dimensional Space

    Boom!


    In such a short period of time, it was as if he had been hit by a cannon.


    The Pirnaians with extremely low defense were directly shot into a bloody mess!


    "If you still want to continue this destructive behavior, wewill send out our army to destroy you!"


    The Pirnaian roared crazily and tried to get up from its seat.


    Then, Wu Mo challenged its patience again and again.


    They killed the Pirnaians one by one right in front of it!


    Wu Mo would not show them any mercy.


    The Pirnaians had destroyed arge amount of resources.


    Therefore, showing mercy to them was equivalent to not showing mercy to their ownpatriots.


    After Wu Mo killed nine of them, the burly Pirnaian lowered its head in submission.


    "That''s right. If you had told us the secret of the fourth dimension from the beginning, we would not have used such cruel means to torture you."


    Wu Mo lowered his head and smiled without saying anything.


    Was this the smile of a demon in the eyes of the Pirnaians?


    After that, all the irrelevant people left.


    Wu Mo, the Pirnaians, some researchers, and some assistants who took notes stayed on for about two hours before leaving.


    "Mr. Wu, this time, our culture will undergo earth-shaking changes!


    A hint of excitement appeared on the adjutant''s face.


    It was obvious that he had heard the Pirnaian speak of the secret of its dimensional travel.


    All of this was a huge secret, even though he didn''t know the profoundness behind it.


    However, he felt lucky to be able to record it down. It would definitely be recorded in the history of mankind!


    Wu Mo nodded excitedly.


    Obviously, these things were avable in the system store.


    However, these things were taught to him by the Pirnaians!


    Just like how the system would give him a fish, the Pirnaians would give him a way to fish. There was noparison at all.


    Wu Mo immediately conducted an experiment ording to the Pirnaians'' description to verify his guess.


    Today, Wu Mo spent a lot of time with his ten assistants.


    After a long period of research in theboratory, a ck iron furnace was finallypleted.


    There were nearly a hundred miniature nuclear reactors in the steel furnace.


    And a set of equipment for the production and storage of ck matter.


    "If that''s the case, then how about creating a ck hole in space?" an assistant asked.


    "A ck hole? That doesn''t seem appropriate. A miniature wormhole would be more precise!" Wu Mo hurriedly reminded.


    Once everything was on the right track, the small nuclear reactors and factories that were producing dark matter collided with each other intherge generator.


    As the two forces collided, the generator also spun rapidly!


    Then, the device began to elerate to a terrifying extent.


    "Did you see that? Mr. Wu, it seems that it''s faster than the speed of light!"


    His assistant was very excited because he knew that under the condition of superluminal speed, this thing would definitely affect space and time.


    From the real-time monitor, they could clearly see that the time and space in the vicinity were evolving in a parab.


    "Hurry up. There''s already a wormhole opening. Throw the detector into it immediately!" Wu Mo shouted anxiously.


    Then, an assistant quickly threw a miniature monitor in.


    Everyone was waiting for this day.


    If this n seeded, it would mean that¡­


    Humans would have the power to jump between the four dimensions.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    As expected, the miniature monitor had disappeared into three different nes.


    However, Wu Mo guessed that the space jump this time would be too difficult.


    At most, it would be within the range of his star field!


    Wu Mo was right. In less than five minutes, a regimentmander sent him a message.


    "Mr. Wu, we suddenly saw a miniature surveince camera in the cave.


    "That monitor looks very simr to something manmade!"


    His face turned red.


    Wu Mo smiled. "It''s fine. We threw this thing out ourselves. We''re also conducting experiments. The results of the experiments prove that it''s feasible."


    "Oh! What? We''re trying it out ourselves?"


    At this moment, he finally realized the seriousness of the matter.


    At the same time, all the scientists present were excited.


    They knew that the future of the four-dimensional transformation was very close!


    Next, Wu Mo was going to test it on a living person.


    He wanted to know what kind of strange expression would appear on a living person.


    At this time, the most important thing was who would do the experiment.


    The people present were also conflicted. No one dared to pass through the space slit easily.


    If they failed, their lives would be in danger!


    No one would be so stupid.


    Everyone understood that once they were involved, it was very likely that they would be transported to an unknown ne.


    If it was in space, it would be too dangerous.


    Therefore, Wu Mo couldn''t find any good choices in a short period of time.


    "In that case, let me try!"


    After thinking for a moment, Wu Mo made a decision.


    "What? Mr. Wu, it''s impossible for you to go alone."


    Everyone tried to stop Wu Mo.


    If anything happened to him, everyone in theboratory would be implicated!


    "Let me do it, Mr. Wu."


    Suddenly, a researcher stood up with a determined look on his face.


    After much consideration, Wu Mo still chose his four-dimensional transmigration.


    If he could do this, he would be the first four-dimensional life form in history.


    "Very good. Carefully observe the changes in the surrounding space. If there is anything nearby, send me a signal immediately!"


    Wu Mo ordered before he began to conductrge-scale experiments on the huge human.


    The experiment this time could be said to be the center of attention!


    This time, it wasn''t just the military, but also the researchers.


    Everyone was paying attention to the huge device in the center of the square.


    At this moment, the materials in the two devices collided.


    The huge generator began to turn.


    Then, this stream of light spread out in an extremely terrifying way.


    Apanied by a buzzing sound, a distorted scene appeared in front of everyone from an extremely strange angle.


    "Be careful!"


    For a moment, everyone was worried about him.


    This was a true cross-dimensional journey. How could he not be nervous?


    At this moment, they saw the crack start from a small dot.


    Then, like a pitch-ck crack, it kept expanding outward.


    The researcher closed his eyes and jumped in.

 Chapter 712 I Want Those Powerful Forces to Go to Hell!

    Chapter 712 I Want Those Powerful Forces to Go to Hell!


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Later on, the generator began to elerate and emit a buzzing sound.


    Then, Wu Mo turned off the power and allowed the two collision devices to slowly disappear into the air.


    The generator also had no energy to inject into it.


    It began to slow down and finally stopped operating.


    The distortions in the surroundings also disappeared.


    The researcher in front of him naturally left the wormhole and entered another dimension.


    "This time, can he pass through the fourth dimension?"


    Wu Mo was deep in thought.


    Next, he only needed to wait for the news.


    At this moment, a message was transmitted from the teleportation array!


    "Mr. Wu, we saw a person diving down from the sky at an extremely fast speed. He is more than seven hundred meters away from Earth''s atmosphere!"


    "Why is it there?"


    Wu Mo was both angry and amused.


    Moreover, he had to quickly give the order to save him. Otherwise, that person would probably fall.


    "Go and find him immediately. You must find him!"


    Wu Mo ordered.


    "Yes, Mr. Wu!"


    Immediately, everyone moved and rushed towards the fallen researcher.


    The researcher''s face was pale, and his eyes were filled with fear!


    He was extremely vexed now. He should not have carried out such an experiment so rashly.


    This was great. He was probably going to be smashed into piecester.


    Also, he once heard that someone treated people like ants and threw them from thousands of feet high. How could they die?


    That was to starve to death.


    Now that he thought about it, he felt like his soul was about to fly out of his body.


    But at this moment, a small rescue airship suddenly appeared.


    "Everyone in front, please pay attention. We''re here to rescue you."


    The researcher was scared out of his wits.


    Not long after, the man was sent to theboratory.


    Everyone surrounded him and examined him.


    "Yes, although it has be a four-dimensional life form, it still looks the same!"


    Everyone frowned and looked puzzled.


    Wu Mo smiled." He only borrowed the power of the outside world. He doesn''t have real power. We still have a long way to go!"


    He sighed. They could use the power of the outside world to do the same thing as the people of Pirna.


    However, they could open a passage with their own bodies.


    The difference between the two was simply too great.


    At this moment, a huge treasure vault appeared on Dark Star!


    "Mr. Wu, the diamond mine here is so big. I''m afraid it will have a huge impact on the diamond market on Earth!"


    There was a hint of worry in his voice.


    "Is that so? What do you have to worry about? How will it affect the value of the diamond?"


    Wu Mo was confused.


    "Mr. Wu, haven''t you heard that the price of diamonds is increasing internationally? They controlled their own production, but they deliberately increased their profits¡­"


    Only then did Wu Mo react.


    The value of diamonds was created by thergest consortiums in the world.


    Their goal was to turn diamonds into a luxury and use them to earn money!


    But in fact, these were naturally formed minerals. Under the limitation of quantity, they were also very rare.


    However, within Dark Star, there was a huge diamond vein.


    If it was mined, it would definitely causepetition among the major forces around the world.


    "Haha, this is what you think?"


    Wu Mo chuckled. He didn''t expect thismander to be so meticulous.


    After saying that, Wu Mo''s eyes shed with a cold light.


    "If that''s the case, I''ll send those big forces to hell!" he said resolutely."


    Wu Mo''s meaning was obvious. Diamond ore was a type of ore with extremely high hardness.


    Although it couldn''t conduct heat, it could be embedded in many important mechanical parts.


    Therefore, at this moment.


    Wu Mo had to fully utilize this huge diamond vein.


    If he had a conflict with the rich because of this reason¡­


    Wu Mo nned to beat them all into beggars!


    "Mr. Wu, our country also has some bigpanies. Thesepanies have a strong influence on a global scale. It''s not easy to touch them."


    Thismander was somewhat worried even when he was on Dark Star.


    Wu Mo was the strongest person in the academic world.


    However, it was very dangerous and difficult to get involved in the interests of these people!


    "Don''t worry. If you continue digging, I''ll bear all the responsibility if anything happens!" Wu Mo snorted coldly.


    Since Wu Mo had already said so, what else did thismander have to say?


    He nodded helplessly and began to dig up the diamond.


    Soon, a huge diamond ore was discovered.


    This diamond mine was more than five hundred thousand cubic meters...


    The final processing was being carried out before being transported to Earth. This caused the entire Earth to boil!


    "Hehe, that''s great! Diamonds were no longer a luxury item."


    "That''s right. What is ''Invincible Vajra Vajra''?"


    "That''s right, that''s right. It''s said that those so-called gems are used by some people to hype up. In fact, they all want to make money from us¡­"


    At this moment, everyone seemed to have woken up.


    They finally understood that diamonds were just a type of mineral and not very valuable.


    Once such a situation urred, the people who were most worried were the rich people who had the diamond mining rights!


    They had once made a fortune by controlling gemstones and were very powerful.


    But now, diamonds were no longer rare.


    This was equivalent to wiping out all their lives from this world!


    In a small conference room, they were already prepared.


    Everyone was invited out. People in suits whose identities could not be seen walked in one after another.


    After entering the meeting room, everyone fell into a dead silence.


    Then, the door slowly opened again¡­


    ng!


    Everyone turned to look and saw an old man in a long robe slowly walking in.


    Seeing this old man, everyone was shocked. They could not help but stand up and say in unison,"Grandmaster Zhong has arrived!"


    The Zhong n''s Patriarch was named Zhong Mingde.


    Ordinary people might not recognize him, but any old fox in the business world would recognize Zhong Mingde.


    Because he was the world''srgest jeweler!


    He controlled a total of five huge diamond mines around the world. After turning these mines into diamonds, he made a lot of money.


    Some people even said that they did not appear on any of the rankings at all.


    However, if there were people who knew the value of the goods to make a ranking.


    Although Zhong Mingde was not the richest person in the world, he was still one of the richest!


    And now, he was the initiator of this small meeting.


    What they wanted to discuss was how to solve the diamond crisis that had appeared on a global scale.


    "I believe everyone knows that there is a huge diamond mine on this. Its reserves are even more than the sum of all the diamond mines on Earth!"


    The Zhong Family Head said, and everyone''s hearts tightened.

 Chapter 713 If You Dont Make a Move, There Will Be Deadly Consequences

    Chapter 713 If You Don''t Make a Move, There Will Be Deadly Consequences


    Everyone understood that this was a huge test for them.


    The enemy this time was too terrifying. It was not something that any of the enemies they had defeated before couldpare to!


    A jeweler couldn''t help but stand up and say, "Mr. Zhong, the person who proposed to dig this mine this time is Chief Engineer Wu from our country!"


    The moment he said that, the entire ce fell silent.


    No one said anything. No one knew what to do.


    A cold light shed in Zhong Mingde''s eyes as he said indifferently,"


    "Chief Engineer Wu has a very high status in China and is very powerful. Since we can''t go against him, we''ll use some despicable methods."


    "Hehe, you want to use tricks? Please enlighten me, Lord Tang!"


    All the gem merchants were listening attentively.


    After a short discussion, they quickly came up with a vicious n.


    Then, the jewelers burst intoughter.


    Wu Mo did not know what had happened. He was busy ordering the people on Dark Star to dig up the diamond mine.


    Immediately after, the Chinese government made an important announcement.


    A huge diamond mine was being transported to all parts of the world!


    From now on, all industries that used diamonds or polished diamonds could be bought from China at a fair price.


    "Ah! Oh my god, what kind of luck did they have?"


    At this moment, the entire world was in an uproar!


    Moreover, everyone knew that if China deliberately raised the price of the diamond vein, no one could do anything to them.


    The only thing they could do was to obediently wait for them to snatch it away.


    This was because diamonds themselves contained a lot of gold.


    If there was enough profit, he could still earn more money.


    This was also the reason why all the countries wanted to form an alliance with China.


    "Mr. Wu, we want to buy ten tons of diamond ore from you and want to establish a long-term trading partnership with you. What do you think?"


    At this moment, a representative from each country spoke up.


    However, it was obvious that Wu Mo did not intend to act together with them.


    It was because this diamond mine was used to serve various industries.


    These raw materials were not necessary to sell at a high price.


    Therefore, he rejected her outright!


    For this reason, the higher-ups were more or less disappointed.


    "Sigh, what a pity, Mr. Wu. I really wish I could buy the diamond vein here and make a fortune!"


    Many researchers were upset when they saw the diamond ores being sold at such a low price.


    But for Wu Mo, this was the most important part.


    It was also the most likely way to sell this gem.


    It was because of this that people treated a gem as a real gem.


    They would not treat it as a priceless treasure.


    However, at this moment, a piece of news that made people not know whether tough or cry appeared on the Inte¡­


    Those rumors about China''s diamond mines were not true.


    Diamonds condensed from others had different properties, so they were not real diamonds.


    Therefore, when this piece of news came out, the entire world was in an uproar!


    They began to suspect that China was using the name of the diamond mine to fool other countries.


    "Haha, no wonder your country is unwilling to trade with us. It turns out that your diamond mine is simply not enough!"


    A representative from each country immediately sneered in his heart.


    They believed that China, especially the person in charge of the diamond mine, must have some ulterior motive.


    Regarding the unfavorablements on the Inte.


    Wu Mo didn''t pay much attention to it and just treated it as a pile of dog shit.


    "Mr. Wu, these people are really going too far. I feel embarrassed. How dare they say such words to such a good diamond mine?"


    An assistant shouted indignantly.


    However, there was nothing he could do about it. The fishing boat itself was a very easy ce to control.


    At this time, the fishing storm was getting more and more intense!


    "It doesn''t matter. Let them speak for themselves. When the timees, I''ll personally take action."


    Wu Mo was deep in thought.


    But in the next moment, his eyes turned cold and he flicked his finger.


    At this moment, a man in a suit and leather shoes slowly walked towards her.


    "Find out who is behind this online storm."


    "Yes, Mr. Wu!"


    The man turned around and disappeared.


    This was a special organization established by Wu Mo. There were not many members in this organization.


    However, theirbat skills and perception of danger were outstanding.


    No matter what, such a person was a must!


    Sometimes, in some dark ces, it was not something he could use at all.


    Therefore, he had to borrow their strength to remove the obstacles for him.


    Now, Wu Mo understood that he must have offended some people, causing them to have a strong dislike for the diamond mine.


    Now, what he needed to do was to target all of them.


    He would use the most tyrannical method to chase them all away!


    No one could stop Wu Mo from bringing diamonds to the human world!


    At this moment, the jewelers were still feeling smug.


    He believed that with Zhong Mingde''s help, he would be able to get a better life.


    They could intimidate China by fishing on the Inte, so that they would not easily sell their mines.


    However, Wu Mo''s subordinates quickly found out about this matter.


    This incident was actually done by 37 jewelers from all over the world!


    The person in the lead seemed to be the famous Zhong Mingde, known as one of the world''srgest diamond merchants.


    This person controlled five of the best diamond veins and owned more than half of the world''s diamonds!


    When Wu Mo saw this message, he immediately had a look of disdain.


    "I knew it. They did all of this! Hmph, instead of doing your job properly, you only know how to y such little tricks. You''re really something!"


    Seeing the coldness in Wu Mo''s tone, the assistant beside him was also shocked.


    This was the first time he had seen Wu Mo so gloomy. It was as if he had been awakened and became extremely violent.


    The assistant nodded." Mr. Wu, don''t worry. We''ll send someone tomunicate with them immediately and try to scare them!""


    However, Wu Mo obviously didn''t want this exnation.


    "No need, wait a moment! Let that bullet fly for a while longer, and I''ll hold an international press conference to give them a tight p!"


    Ah!


    A world press conference that would make all the jewelers in the world lose face?


    At this moment, the assistants at the side were also shocked by Wu Mo''s words.


    It was obvious that there were many powerful organizations on this continent.


    Among these organizations, there was a group of diamond merchants that could not be underestimated.


    Wu Mo''s n was to defeat this organization.


    To be more precise, it was to destroy this organization.


    This would make it impossible for this organization to amass wealth wantonly in this world like before.

 Chapter 714 I Want to Lower the Price of Diamonds

    Chapter 714 I Want to Lower the Price of Diamonds


    At this time, there was still a storm on the Inte.


    Those diamond merchants were also doing their best to add fuel to the fire!


    They had hired countless Inte trolls to spread the word that China, under the leadership of Wu Mo, had been plotting for a long time to make a fortune in this world.


    They used diamonds as a cover, but in fact, they used a material simr to diamonds to confuse people''s eyes.


    Many of them had conflicts with China.


    However, the countries that could not use the concealment equipment took the opportunity to spread rumors and create trouble.


    The discussion on the Inte was getting more and more intense.


    There was even a video dedicated to analyzing the inside story of China''s diamond mines.


    At this moment, the number of views on that news had reached more than three billion, and it was still rising!


    Just this video alone was enough to show how much the internationalmunity misunderstood the Chinese.


    And in this world, there must be many people who didn''t know what had happened.


    They would think that the video made sense.


    That was what China''s base did. They used diamond mines to fool them!


    At this moment, a piece of shocking news came from China''s official website.


    Mr. Wu Mo was going to hold an international press conference about a popr saying on the Inte.


    He would also experiment with this statement on the international news to break it.


    "Aiya, what kind of international press conference is Wu Mo holding?"


    At this moment, the diamond merchants were having a meeting.


    Everyone was dumbfounded by Wu Mo''s actions.


    "I''m not sure about that. He said that he wanted to announce an experiment to prove that everything we said before was false."


    At this moment, all the diamond merchants were confused.


    They were very good at business, but they had no experience in scientific research.


    However, the jewelers and Zhong Mingde had a bad feeling.


    At this critical moment, a global press conference began.


    Everyone was very interested in this major event that had happened on a global scale.


    Thus, Wu Mo walked into the press conference in a grand manner.


    He still bore the resentment of the entire Chinese people.


    As the press conference began, all the reporters present also stood in the first row!


    Everyone was waiting for Wu Mo''s question, but the question came from him.


    First, a person walked out from the other side of the ocean and raised his own question.


    "Wu Mo, I want to ask, the crystal clear mineral vein that your country mined on Dark Star is not real, but why do you say it as if it is real?"


    "What''s the secret behind this?"


    As soon as he said that, the atmosphere instantly froze.


    It was obvious that the other party''s question was very sharp.


    At this moment, the entire headquarters was focused on Wu Mo.


    How would he answer such a tricky question?


    At this moment, many people were paying attention to Wu Mo.


    They all had mocking smiles on their faces, waiting to see him make a fool of himself!


    "Hehe, what is this? I want to see what you have to say!"


    At this moment, a group of jewelers gathered in front of the big screen.


    Zhong Mingde looked at the big screen excitedly.


    They hated Wu Mo, who had touched their cake!


    However, the reporter''s words represented different groups.


    He saw that many people around him were staring at him like tigers eyeing their prey.


    The corners of Wu Mo''s mouth curled into a mocking smile as he slowly said.


    "The diamond ore is exactly the same as the diamond ore on Earth. I really don''t understand how much insight you have to be able to describe theposition of the diamond ore so untruthfully."


    With a loud shout, Wu Mo had already made his stance clear.


    This diamond mine was not a fake, it was real.


    "Ah! However, Mr. Wu, someone posted a video on the Inte saying that you dug up a mountain. What do you think?"


    Immediately, some people were very puzzled. This was clearly a fake.


    Why did Mr. Wu insist that it was authentic?


    A reporter stepped forward again and asked again and again, emphasizing that the images on the Inte were very professional and wless!


    However, Wu Mo only sipped his tea slowly and said,"


    "There are too many ws in the videos on the Inte. I won''t say much. If everyone thinks that something is wrong, you can test it on the spot!"


    "Ah! Mr. Wu, what do you want to test?"


    The group of people were dumbfounded.


    The next second, Wu Mo flicked his finger.


    Immediately, a staff member sent over a machine specially used for testing.


    "I think you all know how hard diamonds are. This is all about diamonds. Next is the experiment we will do to see the difference between diamonds and the diamonds we obtained on Dark Star!"


    Seeing this scene, the jewelers sitting in front of the big screen were all pale.


    "D*mn it! Why did he do this?"


    "Not good! He actually used this method to conduct experiments. Doesn''t this prove that our guess is wrong?"


    "Sigh, forget it, forget it. This person is powerful and can''t be defeated!"


    Now, these jewelry merchants were all depressed and bitter.


    Even Zhong Mingde was at a loss.


    Helpless, they could only use the simplest method to deal with Wu Mo.


    However, considering the powerful force behind Wu Mo, they still dismissed this idea.


    No matter what, this was a business matter.


    How could a bunch of businessmen go against China''s best scientists?


    Even the best researchers in the world?


    After a series of tests, theposition of the diamond was analyzed.


    However, after various physical experiments, it proved that theposition of the diamond was real and there was no falsehood!


    With the release of these data, the entire world was in an uproar!


    Then, everyone saw the malicious video on the Inte.


    "D*mn it! Which b*stard took this video? Tell me, I won''t let him off!"


    In an instant, countlessizens expressed their opinions.


    Theizens from China were especially furious.


    Now, China had regained their face and cleared up all the rumors.


    The press conference this time could be said to have ended sessfully.


    When Wu Mo came down from the stage, the audience immediately burst into thunderous apuse.


    They were all apuding for themselves, but most of them were cheering for China.


    And guilt towards his own country!


    Once the press conference ended!


    Wu Mo told them to speed up and transport the diamond ores here.


    Once this news was out, the entire world fell into despair!

 Chapter 715 Lightning Strike

    Chapter 715 Lightning Strike


    "Hurry up and sell it. If you don''t sell it now, the price will go down in the future."


    A jeweler sounded helpless.


    The biggest capital in the gemstone industry was advertising fees, transportation fees, and operating expenses. He had to think of a way.


    Therefore, the people of the world discovered something strange!


    Why did the price of diamonds plummet overnight?


    Now that he thought about it, it was all thanks to Wu Mo.


    On this day, many newlyweds who were preparing for their wedding spent a lot of money to buy all the rings they liked.


    It was like a person who had originally nned to ask for 12,000 yuan.


    However, when he saw that the original price of 108,000 yuan had fallen to 200,000 yuan, he would not hesitate to buy a better one!


    Everyone was thanking Wu Mo and praying for him.


    "Mr. Wu is so nice. If it weren''t for him, we wouldn''t have had the chance to get such a beautiful diamond ring." A groom couldn''t help but sigh.


    The bride also nodded and smiled. "Yes, Mr. Wu. We should have as many people as we can!"


    Everyone was praying for Wu Mo from the bottom of their hearts.


    Wu Mo saw the live broadcast that was worth more than five billion yuan on the Inte, but it was deleted by someone.


    Moreover, thesements were almost one-sided. They were all targeted at these people!


    Many people were looking up the source of the video online.


    Immediately after, someone walked up to Wu Mo.


    This person had an ordinary appearance. If he was thrown into the crowd, he would never be found again. However, his identity was not simple!


    The man had also been injected with a special biochemical drug simr to Wu Mo''s, which gave him terrifying physical strength.


    "Mr. Wu, we''ve investigated. This is an overseas jeweler group. There are three in China and 37 overseas, led by Zhong Mingde!"


    "So it''s Zhong Mingde! Is that him?"


    Wu Mo smiled.


    The name Zhong Mingde was naturally well-known to him. He was a well-known millionaire internationally. In terms of worth, he was also one of the best.


    However, he kept a low profile, like an underworld overlord lurking in the dark.


    "This must be Zhong Mingde. Do I need to tell you what to do?" Wu Mo said slowly as a cold light shed in his eyes.


    "Yes it is! I''ll do the needful, Mr. Wu!"


    With that, he left.


    Hence, a huge online storm started again.


    However, the focus of this storm was no longer Wu Mo.


    It was the world''s major jewelers, and even the diamond tycoon Zhong Mingde.


    This was an official statement from China.


    It was obvious that this statement had made the Chinese government''s stance clear.


    The report was filled with tears and deep grief and indignation.


    How did those diamond merchants use those so-called ordinary minerals?


    To control the wealth of the entire world and turn all the living beings in the world into a ughterhouse¡­


    As soon as this news was released, it immediately received unanimous praise from everyone.


    People who couldn''t afford such expensive diamonds in the past were nowining that they were too expensive.


    However, they knew that all of this was controlled by someone.


    Otherwise, how could thesemon items be sold at such a high price?


    "D*mn it! Destroy those jewelers who use these ordinary gemstones to make money!"


    "That''s right. Those jewelers are too shameless. I also heard that those jewelers are worried that their jewelry will affect their jewelry, so they ndered Mr. Wu!"


    "Hehe, did you see that? That person named Zhong Mingde isn''t on the rich list, but he''s world''s most famous diamond merchant. He''s definitely not a decent person."


    In an instant, the gemstone merchants hiding in the darkness.


    As if they had been exposed, everyone panicked, epecially Zhong Mingde.


    He felt that he had hidden himself very well and did not even want his name on the rich list to appear.


    But now, he was known by everyone.


    Even his background, his background, and his wealth had been dug out.


    It was as if he hadpletely exposed this person!


    "D*mn it, what''s going on? Who did this?"


    Zhong Mingde flew into a rage in his small building.


    He smashed a few expensive vases into pieces.


    However, this was not enough. He immediately called the major jewelers and asked them to hold a meeting!


    "Mr. Zhong, I''m afraid I can''t participate in this conference!"


    A jeweler smiled bitterly at his phone.


    "Ah! You''re not attending the meeting? What''s the meaning of this?"


    Zhong Mingde immediately noticed something strange.


    "Mr. Zhong, I''ve stopped buying and selling gemstones, and I''ve given up all my jewelry. I''ll sell all my jewelry at the lowest price."


    After saying that, the person hurriedly hung up the phone.


    Then, Zhong Mingde made more calls.


    The answer he received was the same. They all wanted to cut ties with him.


    "D*mn it! Those b*stards are actually burning bridges after crossing the river and want to cut off all contact with me?"


    Zhong Mingde was not a fool.


    He also understood that those people were afraid of being implicated, so they naturally wouldn''t provoke anyone.


    However, Zhong Mingde did not know that worse things were yet toe.


    "Zhong Mingde, you''ve been reported for illegally buying and selling gemstones and manipting the entire auction business."


    Zhong Mingde was dumbfounded when he saw someone standing before him.


    "What? You''re framing me, saying that I''m breaking the rules. What''s going on? I didn''t do anything!" Zhong Mingde continued to defend himself.


    However, the eyes of these Special Forces soldiers were cold and murderous. They did not even bother to say another word.


    The security guards tried to stop them.


    However, these Special Forces soldiers looked disdainful and put their hands into their pockets.


    This was a stun gun that contained terrifying power!


    If the security guards made a move against them, the Special Forces had the right to kill them.


    A few security guards immediately retreated to the side in fear.


    They were not facing the hooligans of the past, but the elites of the Special Forces!


    Therefore, Zhong Mingde, the world''s diamond tycoon, was instantly reduced to a captive.


    After being captured by the Special Forces, he had to undergo aprehensive examination.


    Such a world-ss giant would definitely not be innnocent. He must have done something shameful.


    If he waspletely exposed, he would be doomed!

 Chapter 716 Might As Well Let the Pirnaians Go!

    Chapter 716 Might As Well Let the Pirnaians Go!


    Wu Mo, on the other hand, hid in the dark and never showed himself.


    No one in the world could have guessed that he had caused the storm this time.


    They never expected Zhong Mingde and the jewelry merchants to be killed in one fell swoop either.


    However, Wu Mo was aware of everything because of the secret organization, which had been established by his subordinates.


    This organization was still underground, and it was not time for it to be made public.


    Nevertheless, this did not prevent the organization frompleting secret missions for him.


    In this four-dimensional universe, experiments were conducted all the time.


    Wu Mo would experiment on all kinds of subjects to ensure more urate results.


    He was going to unravel the mystery of heating and prating the universe.


    In fact, this technology was no longer a secret.


    The theory behind it had been made public, but the technical difficulties were too great!


    Now, the nine potions were simultaneously being sold on three differents, and Eternal Sun was the weakest of the threes.


    First of all, the natives of Eternal Sun all came from another.


    Second of all, there was a limit to the number of humans on Eternal Sun.


    At this point, all the humans there had been ughtered, and arge-scale war was ongoing.


    Wu Mo could see the concealment equipment on Eternal Sun. It covered a veryrge area but not most of the.


    Hence, others would seize this opening.


    "The Pirnaians will be here soon. Let''s go!"


    Meanwhile, in the interrogation room, the burly Pirnaian was still threatening the humans.


    "Haha. You dare act so arrogantly, Pirnaian? You''re courting death!" One of the interrogators pped it in the face.


    Not only did it not tell the truth when it was interrogated, but it even said such unpleasant words. Was it not asking for a beating?


    "Someone get in here and take him away!" Wu Mo suddenly ordered!


    The scene stunned all the guards.


    "My God. How terrifying. Mr. Wu is actually putting it away. Isn''t he worried that it''ll escape through the fourth dimension?"


    The Pirnaian was immediately captured and brought back to Eternal Sun. There, it was locked up in a cell with its friends.


    It had been quite brave in the beginning.


    It had charged directly at the humans once it exited the space tunnel. Now, it was finally getting a taste of regret.


    It was imprisoned before itspanions, who immediately became anxious and made all kinds of strange sounds.


    However, they did not realize that there was an infrared detector behind them.


    It was recording their movements and making the corresponding biological analysis.


    "Director Wu, they''re probably discussing a n for revenge." A top biologist pondered and spected.


    Although there was no way to decipher their writing system, he could provide extremely great insight into their every move and subtle expressions.


    Wu Mo nodded. It was exactly as he had guessed.


    Now, he was going to use them as bait.


    They were there to test if Pirna would notice them.


    If monsters appeared soon, it would indicate that human development had reached a dangerous stage.


    If someone else got to them first, wouldn''t it be very tragic?


    "Why don''t we just let the Pirnaians go?!"


    The moment Wu Mo said this, everyone was shocked and silent.


    "Mr. Wu, you have to think about this carefully..."


    For a time, many people spoke up to stop Wu Mo from going through with his n.


    Allowing the Pirnaians to escape would lead to a huge disaster!


    When that happened, how could the threes resist?


    However, Wu Mo understood the stakes.


    Even if those from Pirna invaded, he would have enough time to build another terrifying Invincible Space Army.


    Wu Mo discovered that due to the existence of these dark forces, the system''s store was packed to the brim with various battleships and special items!


    He was incredibly confident. If Level 2 civilizations tried to challenge them, they would fail in their attempt.


    As long as they did not utilize a skill like jumping through space, he did not have to worry.


    "You have to know that I''m releasing them and revealing the secrets of our four-dimensional navigation to make our civilization stronger!" Wu Mo exined slowly.


    At this moment, everyone finally understood his intention. They nodded and prepared to send the prisoners out.


    The moment a Pirnaian was released, it was stunned!


    However, it immediately wore an unpleasant expression as it gritted its teeth and said, "Just you wait, ants. We will shine our light here and turn you into ash!"


    At the same time, themander on the other side of Dark Star also sent a message. He stated that the mining of the diamond vein was nearing the final stage.


    "Not bad! Only a small portion is left!"


    Wu Mo smiled when he heard about it.


    At this time, he also realized that the value of diamonds on the humans'' main was too low.


    Compared to the past price, the current price was much cheaper.


    It was a price that an ordinary person could afford.


    Wu Mo was trying to convert the known value of these rare metals into their true value!


    ''If something isn''t useful, it won''t be sold at a sky-high price no matter how rare it is. That''s only reasonable!'' Wu Mo said silently in his heart.


    With that said, he did not care even if he robbed many people of their interests.


    A man had to eat.


    The huge diamond vein on the had almost been dug out. Under the ground, a faintyer of diamonds was now visible.


    The deepest part consisted of yellow soil, and further down was ck soil.


    All of a sudden, theyer of ck soil shook.


    A ripple spread out from the soil and reached the deepest part of the diamond mine!


    The miners who were mining immediately realized that something was wrong.


    "Huh? What''s going on? Are our eyes ying tricks on us?"


    They exchanged nces and saw a hint of surprise in each other''s eyes.


    "Do you sense it? Why does it feel like there''s an earthquake?"


    "Yeah, something''s shaking. Is there going to be an earthquake?"


    While the two of them talked, a sharp spike bore through the ground.


    Pa!


    This was extremely dangerous. If they had been in that spot on the ground, they would have been pierced.


    "What the hell is going on? Hurry up and shoot it!"


    When the two of them saw this, they quickly climbed up.


    Immediately after, one of the soldiers took out an electromaic gun and fired at the spikes!

 Chapter 717 The Mystery of Genetics

    Chapter 717 The Mystery of Gics


    Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Immediately after, another sharp stone spike darted out of the ground from another direction.


    It almost pierced through the other miner''s heart!


    "Oh, no! Deploy defensive measures! Hurry! There''s an unknown presence!"


    Themander noticed the situation and quickly gave the order.


    Soon after, the workers retreated from the mine.


    There were soldiers with loaded guns who wanted to capture this monster and figure out its identity.


    Why would it appear in a diamond mine?


    Da da da!


    Just then, something unexpected happened.


    Spikes began to drill out of the mine continuously!


    There were no less than thirty densely packed spikes.


    "What kind of monster is this? Record it quickly and send the footage to Director Wu Mo on the main!"


    "Yes!"


    Before long, Wu Mo saw the true appearance of the giant beast.


    It looked like a pangolin, but its huge body was more than ten meters long.


    There were also many sharp bone spikes on its body.


    Each bone spike was more than twenty meters long. There were thirty-eight of them in total!


    When the giant beast appeared, Wu Mo immediately thought of a character from a certain online game that he liked in the past.


    Now that such a thing was appearing in reality, it was unbelievable!


    "Oh, it looks like a Zerg[1], doesn''t it?"


    An assistant beside him seemed to be on the same page.


    Speaking of beasts, a thought arose in everyone''s mind. Could this creature be some kind of monster?


    This giant pangolin had appeared from another.


    Current technology identified it as an extraterrestrial life form!


    "Be careful. Don''t get yourself hurt," Wu Mo said slowly. Try to catch it."


    "Yes, Mr. Wu. We''ll proceed now."


    Themander on Dark Star then ordered his subordinates to surround it.


    "Don''t go near it. The beast might have some kind of special attack!"


    Wu Mo did not forget to let them protect themselves.


    After all, the beast looked fierce and might even activate certain skills.


    However, the extraterrestrial creature wentpletely crazy right then!


    Rawr!


    The alien roared, and even Wu Mo, as well as the others on Earth, heard this!


    At this moment, everyone seemed to recall the time when sea monsters ran amok.


    This giant beast was not a creature of the sea, but it looked very simr to those sea monsters.


    Suddenly, an idea urred to Wu Mo. He had unwittingly thought of a shocking possibility!


    "Could it be one of the sea monsters? Could it be the beast that ran away from that huge?"


    Wu Mo''s expression immediately darkened when he thought about it.


    Had he discovered the origin of the sea monster era?


    In other words, the creature before him might have the ability to survive underwater.


    Just then, an electromaic pulse cannon appeared on the battlefield and fired at the giant beast!


    Bang bang bang!


    The creature moved slowly, and the spikes on its body exploded one after another under the concentrated firepower. As a result, sparks flew everywhere.


    However, it was obvious that the cannons could not damage it.


    Therefore, it continued to move forward despite the bombardment of artillery fire.


    "It''s escaping! Be careful!"


    At this time, a member of the Special Forces raised an electromaic pulse cannon in his hand and chased after the monster.


    It quickly crossed a hill and arrived at a grasnd.


    However, the grasnd was extremely dangerous!


    It was a very spacious ce, which allowed the humans to concentrate their firepower.


    Bang bang bang!


    Electromaic cannons and medium-sized fighter jets in the air bombarded the huge creature.


    In response, the huge creature emitted green smoke all over its body as if it would explode at any moment.


    This monster was tenacious. It withstood all the attacks and continued to move forward!


    Everyone was stunned.


    No one had expected its defense to be that insane.


    "Unless there''s a nuclear explosion, we won''t be able to injure it at all!"


    Themander immediately contacted his home in hopes of getting instructions from Wu Mo.


    Wu Mo pondered for a moment and finally nodded.


    "Let''s utilize some explosives! Try not to kill him!"


    Then, they quickly positioned a miniature nuclear bomb and fired it at the struggling behemoth before them.


    Boom!


    A mushroom cloud slowly rose and dyed the distant sky a faint gray.


    Everyone used binocrs to take in the situation on the mountain peak.


    After a long time, a person in a special protective suit walked over and carefully examined the huge creature.


    As expected, it was lying on the ground.


    There were wounds all over its body, and blood continued to flow from them.


    Moreover, it was green and strange-looking.


    "See if it''s still alive."


    At this moment, another soldier stepped forward to check on it. He could sense a faint life force from the giant.


    Therefore, the soldiers immediately tied it up.


    After that, they dragged it with a truck and slowly drove toward Dark Star''s base!


    When it was carried out, everyone was shocked.


    "D*mn! What a huge body. Is it a pangolin?"


    The huge pangolin before them was panting, and its eyes, which shone likenterns, were filled with hatred.


    Right then, some experts on the base were busy collecting blood samples from the giant beast.


    At the same time, they wanted to know why this giant pangolin appeared in the mine!


    Not long after, the creature''s blood samples underwent detailed experiments and analysis.


    In the end, the scientists received a shocking result: The gic simrity between this creature and humans was as high as seventy-five percent!


    "No way! Seventy-five percent of its genes are simr to ours, but it lookspletely different from us."


    A researcher immediately frowned and expressed his confusion.


    The participants of this meeting were all the world''s most famous scientists. They all had their own research fields.


    At this moment, an experienced scientist shook his head.


    "It''s hard for me to imagine," he said with a bitter smile. "A banana has simr genes to us as well. What''s going on?"


    "Gics is a very profound andplicated subject. We shouldn''t have any opinions about it!"


    The others nodded in agreement.


    Obviously, there was no doubt about this creature''s gic analysis.


    Based on current science and technology, this was the truth!


    Everyone fell into deep thought and did not know what to do next.


    Therefore, they had no choice but to report all the information they had received to Wu Mo.


    [1] Reference to a creature from the game, StarCraft.

 Chapter 718 Powerful Enemy Attacks

    Chapter 718 Powerful Enemy Attacks


    After Wu Mo learned about it, he was shocked.


    He immediately realized that this was the sea monster that had once wreaked havoc on the continent!


    However, they had reached a dead end in their research of the creature, so they could only put the matter aside.


    "Continue digging. Once you''re done, seal the ce. No one is allowed to go there!"


    Immediately after, Wu Mo ordered that the diamond mine be emptied within a day.


    Meanwhile, everything that originally belonged to Eternal Sun had been perfectly preserved. It was thriving.


    The houses that had been destroyed by the "demons" were rebuilt, and there were no signs of destruction.


    Wu Mo received a new item from the system''s store.


    It could increase the dome''s coverage area by half!


    Many countries had requested to enter the protected area.


    After a round of bidding, another eight lucky countries won.


    From then on, they no longer had to think about investing in Eternal Sun.


    Instead, they could develop freely without having to worry about being disturbed or invaded by other civilizations.


    "Mr. Wu, have you created another invincible team?"


    Everyone was shocked by the team that Wu Mo had formed.


    He nodded. "This is the Thunder Team, and it''s offensive capabilities surpass that of the Invincible Space Team!"


    Wu Mo''s words caused a senior officer to exim, "Whoa! Just hearing its name makes me feel that they''re very powerful!"


    Obviously, this was an elite team led by Wu Mo!


    The fact that Pirnaians had the ability to travel through the fourth dimension was still under investigation.


    However, the behind them had already begun its revenge because a huge battleship soon arrived.


    The first thing it did wasunch a fierce attack on Dark Star!


    "Mr. Wu, something bad has happened. There are aliens invading and attacking us at the same time."


    On the control room''s screen, a huge battleship that wasparable to an aircraft carrier appeared.


    A group of Pirnaians stood on the huge space battleship, their eyes filled with hatred!


    They hated this and everything on it.


    They were also prepared to avenge theirpatriots.


    "Huh, what''s going on? There''s an interster imperial creature on this thing?"


    At this moment, a Pirnaian urately recognized the creature that was dug out from Dark Star.


    It was a monster with a faint smell.


    Through this special method, they quickly determined what it was!


    "How could this be? Haven''t imperial-level creatures gone extinct? They were the main targets in an interster war. Why would they appear again?"


    The rest of the Pirnaians also looked doubtful.


    The leader shook its head and said with a solemn expression. "I''m not sure! However, now that we have an imperial-level creature, we must capture it and obtain its secrets!"


    "If we canpletely control their genes, then our civilization will reach another level!"


    "Yes, boss. We''ll do it now!"


    Soon, huge spaceships flew out from inside.


    "Oh, no. There are aliens attacking us!"


    At this moment, the people guarding the fell into despair.


    Just a moment ago, he was still working hard for his future.


    He did not expect to encounter such a terrifying space warship!


    This space warship was a bit like an aircraft carrier, and it was also veryrge.


    In this deep and serene stomach, there was a different world. It was impossible to see how big it was.


    As the door opened, spaceships rushed out one after another like swimming fish!


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    At this moment, in the void outside, there were hundreds of spaceships standing neatly in a square formation. It looked very solemn and terrifying.


    More and more battleships appeared!


    There were more than three hundred mechs, which formed a powerful fleet.


    They were the rulers of this pitch-ck space.


    As long as they gave the order, they could easily destroy all civilizations.


    The current Dark Star could only tremble in fear when facing such battleships!


    Even Dark Star, which had never been destroyed, could only bow its head before such terrifying battleships.


    "Mr. Wu, something bad has happened. That fleet is here. There are more than three hundred of them. This fleet is too big. It''s like a walking city!"


    Themander was already rambling incoherently as he frantically sent out a distress signal to the main.


    Hearing this, Wu Mo was also shocked.


    He had never thought that there would be such a terrifying spaceship.


    Where did this spaceshipe from?


    "Don''t worry, we still have to figure out who the other party is. I''ll immediately send a fleet over to support them!"


    Wu Mo quickly sent them a distress message to calm them down.


    At this time, he absolutely could not panic!


    Once there was chaos, it was very likely that they would bepletely defeated by the other party.


    With the news of Wu Mo''s help, everyone was relieved and prepared for battle.


    At the same time, they began to use satellites to search.


    However, what shocked them was the pilots on those warships.


    They actually looked exactly like the Pirnaians!


    "Director Wu, things are bad. The Pirnaians are attacking us!"


    "Ah! Could it be? It''s actually them! But how did they travel so fast?!"


    When Wu Mo received this message from themander, he waspletely stunned.


    He never expected that the Pirnaians woulde to him so quickly!


    It would take thirty years to travel more than thirty light-years away. How fast were they?


    How could they have arrived in Dark Star''s territory in such a short period of time?


    "Mr. Wu, what are your orders? What should we do?"


    At this moment, he felt a strong sense of oppression, and his entire person was somewhat numb.


    After all, there were so many spaceships observing this at all times.


    Who knows when they would attack it!


    "Pass the message. Attack!"


    At this moment, on an interster warship, atall and sturdy Pirnaianmander gave the order to attack.


    Therefore, more than three hundred battleships opened fire at the same time and caused chaos on Dark Star.


    Boom!

 Chapter 719 Battle Is About to Begin

    Chapter 719 Battle Is About to Begin


    Boom!


    Loud rumbling sounds rang out on this. It was extremely terrifying.


    No one had expected such a great cmity. Everyone looked up at the sky with despair!


    On the other hand, these Dark Star powerhouses were overjoyed. They were no longer willing to lower their heads to humans.


    The reason was simple. If there was a more advanced cosmic civilization, they would have dly acknowledged it.


    But now, a civilization that had been conquered by themhad appeared in front of them. How could they ept this?


    This was a weakness that both humans and the Dark Starlings had.


    "Teleportation Formation, Spectre, and Divine Beauty, activate them all!"


    Under Wu Mo''s orders, a high-ranking general immediately contacted the frontline.


    They sent a powerful space fleet to reinforce the.


    Wu Mo knew very well that this war would be very difficult.


    This was because he knew that if he wanted to engage in an interster war, he would have no choice but to fight.


    He had to take out the peerless magic weapon that he had been studying!


    This match was their debut.


    They had to get a good result in this match.


    At the very least, they would not invade Earth easily.


    At this moment, their reinforcements finally arrived!


    "Hehe. These ants dare to build such a battleship. Do they really think they are a battleship? Beat them up! Let them know that what they did was useless!"


    The burly leader of Pirna was furious.


    Every time he saw his own people being tortured by these low level space civilizations, he would be shocked.


    His heart was filled with iparable anger!


    This was also reasonable. The Pirnaians valued their friends very much.


    Therefore, they treated their friends as family.


    When they saw theirpatriots fall into the hands of an inferior civilization.


    Moreover, they had suffered all kinds of abuse. They all wanted to exterminate them!


    Many destroyed civilizations were rted to this.


    The Pirnaians had the ability to travel through the fourth dimension.


    They had also traveled through the fourth dimension and arrived at another unknown world.


    However, there were also some idents. They were captured for experiments.


    In the end, it still attracted the attention of the main force and wiped them out.


    It could be said that many of the civilizations destroyed by Pirna were innocent.


    They didn''t notice anything unusual at all.


    What was the reason that they had provoked this terrifying demon?


    And now, this invincible team had engaged in an intense battle with the fleet from Pirna the moment they appeared.


    Bang bang bang!


    Both of them were releasing their cosmic rays without any regard for their lives.


    The Invincible Space Team''s main attack was the sma explosion.


    However, the Pirnaians abandoned cosmic radiation.


    He switched to a method of radiation simr to a searchlight.


    The power of this skill was not great, but it could cover arge area.


    The attack range of this thing was evenrger than a sma explosion!


    "No, their range is very far. We have to stay away from them, or we might be caught in one fell swoop!"


    The officer immediately realized something.


    He immediately disyed his outstanding leadership skills and ordered everyone to retreat and stay away from the battlefield.


    Within the central headquarters, Wu Mo was also watching everything that was happening.


    If he missed this scene...


    He really couldn''t understand why such a powerful battleship would attack.


    This was also a good reference for Wu Mo!


    "Oh, I see. After I improved the power of the light beam, I can use the light beam to expand the range of the light beam."


    At this moment, Wu Mo nodded his head. He couldn''t help but sigh in his heart.


    One had to know that it was impossible to get a high-level battleship in the system store.


    Therefore, if he could obtain the technology of a high-level space battleship.


    It would definitely be a great benefit for humans!


    A person who liked to humbly ask for advice was often lucky.


    For example, this time, the Invincible Space Team''s charge had actually left a deep wound on Pirna''s formation.


    "D*mn it. What kind of battleship is this?"


    Suddenly, the burly Pirnaianmander opened his eyes because he found a universe ship flying at high speed.


    They were charging into the battlefield in an extremely ferocious manner.


    It was like an iparably sharp scalpel that was extremely precise. It rampaged through space, drawing huge cracks in space. No spaceship could stop it!


    "Captain, this is a type of alien battleship. There aren''t many of them, but they''re small and fast, so we can''t hit them," a subordinate said.


    They tried to attack several times but failed.


    They couldn''t even see the other party''s figure. What should they do?


    "Ah! How could he have such speed?"


    The burly leader was stunned.


    He had never thought that there would be such a fast battleship in this world.


    Not only was it fast, but it was also very agile. It could make many unexpected movements.


    For example, changing directions or changing speed. It was impossible to guard against.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    At that moment, the suprememander of Pirna gave the order to send out his strongest fleet.


    There were a total of ten of these so-called ''world-destroying'' spaceships.


    Every spaceship was aimed at the battleship in front of them!


    "I don''t believe that they can withstand one move from us."


    The leader of the men in ck was very confident, but their battleship was very special.


    "Mr. Wu, what''s going on?"


    At this moment, an adjutant on the main suddenly said to Wu Mo when he saw the Terminators.


    At this moment, Wu Mo naturally realized this.


    He discovered tenpletely ckary spaceships that were emitting an extraordinary light!


    At this moment, he had a bad feeling.


    As expected.


    The next second, he confirmed his guess.


    The ten space battleships had already begun their bombardment.


    "Oh, no. What kind of cosmic battleship is that? It doesn''t seem to be that easy to deal with!"


    At this moment, a deputy general shouted anxiously.


    When the ten Terminator battleships were discovered¡­


    The ten Terminator battleships had already sensed their presence.


    As they flew at high speed, they either turned around or turned around.


    However, it was toote to say anything now. The Terminators'' attack methods were very special and could be said to be peerless!

 Chapter 720 Why Is Their Fleet So Strong?

    Chapter 720 Why Is Their Fleet So Strong?


    It was a mirroring attack that could cause damage to the enemy.


    They deployed this strategy to trap the target and himself in the same mirror.


    It could use a method simr to a spatial rift to carry out a high-intensity impact on the enemy.


    Finally, he would transmit his power to the enemy in the form of a mirror.


    In this way, no matter how fast or agile his movements were.


    Once he was trapped in a specific area, he would have to endure this attack!


    As expected, in a short period of time, five Fleeting Ghost ships were torn apart.


    "D*mn it! I paid a huge price to get five Fleeting Ghosts. How could they destroy them?"


    Seeing this scene, Wu Mo''s heart was bleeding.


    It was no wonder. After all, in the system store, the price of the Fleeting Ghost was definitely the highest!


    "Mr. Wu, this is bad. That world-destroying battleship is approaching again."


    After Wu Mo and the others deciphered thenguage of the Pirnaians.


    He also learned the name of the spaceship, the Terminator.


    The Terminators lived up to their reputation. They were indeed very powerful and had destroyed five Fleeting Ghosts.


    Then, he swept through the entire battlefield with unstoppable force.


    The Invincible Space Team had now expanded to more than 150 units.


    Compared to the other party''s 300 plus vessels, they were not on the same level at all.


    Therefore, they had no choice but to retreat and leave behind a path full of debris!


    The destroyed battleships were all set aze, and there was no way to repair them.


    That was why they were abandoned, and those warships were protecting their main forces as they retreated.


    Everyone on the entire Dark Star was staring at the sky with their mouths agape.


    Seeing the reinforcements retreat, a strong sense of despair spread in everyone''s hearts!


    "Aiya! I''m going to die, I''m going to die!"


    Some of the more pessimistic people could not help but sigh.


    This was something that could not be helped, because this was really too depressing!


    As the most powerfulbat unit on Earth.


    They weren''t even a match for the enemy''s spaceship, how could they let them live?


    "Mobilize ten battleships from Eternal Sun and fifty main battleships to assist immediately."


    Right now, Wu Mo, who was in the base camp, was also helpless.


    Only by mobilizing the army and the battleships on Eternal Sun could they win this war.


    This time, he had to win!


    If they lost, they would have nothing.


    At this moment, Wu Mo''s eyes turned red. His spirit power had reached its peak.


    He had to win this battle. He could not lose!


    However, the people of Pirna were different. They were a preemptive army.


    They had their own tactics that could make them useful on the battlefield.


    With the arrival of the fifty battleships and ten Fleeting Ghosts, the situation immediately improved.


    "Oh, that despicable lower civilization actually has reinforcements. Hehe. It looks like they have established a small stronghold nearby. In that case, let''s tear down their nest first!"


    Azir, the high and mighty Pirnaian leader, did not immediately capture everyone in one fell swoop.


    He wanted to vent all the hatred in his heart.


    Therefore, he wanted to slowly force these people into a desperate situation.


    Bang bang bang!


    Immediately after, their Terminator battleship took the lead and charged towards the ten Fleeting Ghosts.


    Within the Fleeting Ghost, there were eightser cannons and twoser cannons.


    The destructive methods of these two light beams were very simple and crude.


    Its power was no weaker than the opponent''s Terminator battleship.


    However, their fighting style was unique!


    ''D*mn it! Why do their battleships have such terrifying offensive power? We can''t avoid them!''


    On the base camp, an assistant beside Wu Mo saw this and could not help but curse in his heart.


    This was something that could not be helped. After all, the current situation was really depressing!


    It was obvious that the Fleeting Ghost had better mobility.


    But now, it was as if they were being targeted and had nowhere to run.


    "Theirbat methods are worth learning from. They are like a mirror that can make any movement technique and agility useless!"


    Wu Mo''s face was gloomy as he spoke in a deep voice.


    He hit the nail on the head and directly saw where the joints were.


    At this moment, the Terminator battleship was destroying everything in its path. With the loss of two battleships, the ten Fleeting Ghosts that had rushed over to provide support were damaged!


    In the end, the eight battleships werepletely annihted, and two battleships escaped with heavy damage.


    The enemy''s victory put unbearable pressure on everyone, especially the young men on the battleships. They were eager to get into action.


    "Everyone, why do you think we were raised?" one of the young men said with tears in his eyes.


    Seeing him like this, everyone felt a little ufortable.


    Then someone said, "If I can defend the honor of my country, losing my life on the battlefield will not matter."


    "Yes, we will not let those aliens destroy our home!"


    "Go forth, brothers. Let us fight alongside each other! Kill them!"


    The young men were giving it their all on the battlefield.


    At this moment, they no longer had any fear. They only wanted to take the Pirnaian to the grave!


    However, it was obvious that the Pirnaians had no intention of dying with them.


    "Activate the formation and kill them all!"


    The burly leader of Pirna gave an order that put everyone in a desperate situation.


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Beams of light poured down like rain.


    Wu Mo had also noticed the presence of the beam weapons. He immediately turned around and flew back to Eternal Sun.


    "Oh, no! Oh, no! Did they find anding pad on Eternal Sun?" a subordinate beside him immediately said in a terrified voice.


    Wu Mo ordered him to quickly activate the defense system of his stronghold.


    The dome protection system naturally enveloped the entire military base.


    Whether the dome''s defenses would be able to stop Pirna was unknown.


    The Dark Star battleships of the past could not do it, but the advanced battleships of the present might be strong enough.


    After all, Pirnaians were on Dark Star!


    "In that case, I''ll give them a big surprise!" Wu Mo muttered to himself for a moment.


    "Is that so? So, Mr. Wu, you mean..."


    When the assistants at the side heard Wu Mo''s words, their faces revealed a hint of joy.


    They all knew what Wu Mo was talking about.


    There was still an elite force that he had personally created on Eternal Sun.


    Even when the battle had reached its most intense moment, they did not show themselves.


    It was a team that Wu Mo was most proud of¡ªthe Divine Wind!

 Chapter 721 We Must Win, We Cant Lose!

    Chapter 721 We Must Win, We Can''t Lose!


    Although the Divine Wind was not as strong as the enemy''s fleet and it only had a hundred or so ships, itwas an elite fleet.


    As its name implied, itsbat style caught its opponents off guard like a violent current.


    Wu Mo''s eyes gradually exuded calmness as they shone with a strange light!


    He was holding a control stick in his hand at this moment. He only needed to press it to activate the automatic defense system.


    "Soon¡­ Almost there..." Wu Mo muttered to himself.


    He suddenly noticed something.


    Twenty beams of light appeared on the heat detector, and they were approaching Eternal Sun.


    All of them were advanced battleships from Pirna.


    Right then, Wu Mo pressed the button!


    Boom!


    Battleships flew out of a military base on Eternal Sun like beasts that had just awakened from their slumber.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Immediately after, beams of light poured out of these battleships and sted all the invaders into pieces.


    The twenty Pirnaian battleships exploded one after another. They turned into balls of mes and fell from the sky.


    However, this was not the end. The Divine Wind''s battleships rose into the sky in session and surrounded the enemy.


    "D*mn it! How did this happen? What kind of spaceship is that?"


    The Pirnaians were stunned.


    They never expected to actually suffer such a terrifying attack.


    The Divine Wind was a special fleet that Wu Mo had obtained from the system.


    Its battleships were pretty much invincible in the universe.


    Furthermore, they were much more terrifying than the Pirnaians'' battleships!


    At this moment, three golden battleships that flickered with cold ck light fired their cannons non-stop.


    Bang bang bang!


    Terrifying artillery fire filled the pitch-ck space and enveloped the entire universe.


    "This is awesome! The Divine Wind is yours, isn''t it, Mr. Wu?"


    Just then, another group of soldiers walked in. They looked at the scene on the big screen and felt extremely happy.


    There was no doubt that everyone was full of hostility toward the Pirnaians.


    Now that they could give the Pirnaians a show of strength, they were naturally overjoyed.


    Wu Mo nodded with a look of disdain on his face!


    The Pirnaians thought that they were strong and able to cause trouble just by relying on the power of their advanced civilization.


    Unexpectedly, a mere Level 3 civilization managed to unleash a terrifying power that could threaten Pirna''s foundation.


    After that, the Divine Wind''s main lineup was gradually revealed.


    A huge battleship slowly flew out of space and began an intense battle with the Pirnaian fleet.


    Everyone on the Pirnaian battleship was shocked speechless.


    "How can this be? Do low-level civilizations have ess to such spaceships? How did we suffer so much damage?" a short Pirnaianspoke slowly in disbelief.


    The others also had solemn expressions on their faces. No one had expected such an oue!


    In their opinion, their ship could definitely destroy that military base.


    Yet, ten of their more than twenty battleships had been destroyed.


    The ten battleships crashed around like headless flies and failed to escape.


    However, the burly Pirnaian was soon shocked by a scene that he would never forget!


    "Oh, my God! Hurry up and leave!"


    He roared in anger, but he also felt a deep sense of helplessness.


    The scene began to y out on his light screen.


    His ten battleships were all destroyed by the Divine Wind, and they turned into pieces of metal fragments that floated in the starry sky.


    "D*mn it! D*mn you to hell!"


    The Pirnaians'' patriarch was extremely furious, and he lost his temper.


    He punched the control panel before him and gave the order to attack!


    With the final order to attack, the remaining battleships began to close in on Eternal Sun.


    "Chief Engineer Wu, something big is happening! Since they have begun to attack, should we confront them head-on?" an assistant asked.


    However, Wu Mo looked at Long Chen with a strange smile on his face and slowly shook his head.


    "Not yet. They''re too powerful. We have no advantage in a head-on confrontation!"


    "What do you think we should do, Mr. Wu?"


    Everyone was dumbfounded. They wondered what he was nning.


    "Let''s use the Invincible Space Team as bait to scatter the enemy''s power," Wu Mo said slowly. "Then, we''ll use abination of the Divine Wind and the space-time node to wipe them out one by one!"


    When Wu Mo said this, everyone was taken aback.


    However, they became excited when they started to picture it!


    "Hahaha. Wu Mo has a good n. They''ll definitely suffer a great loss, and we won''t have any more enemies invading."


    All of a sudden, they heard a loudugh outside the base.


    They turned around and saw that it was their old leader, Mr. Zi!


    He was leading arge group of Pir-level officials and staring at the battle scene on the monitor with a serious expression.


    It was obvious that the higher-ups ced great importance on this war.


    Everyone had an unprecedented sense of hatred for the Pirnaians. They even asked if there was anything China, as a whole, could do to help.


    Although the factions on Eternal Sun were weak, they still wanted to contribute.


    They realized that once they encountered other races in the universe, they would be defeated.


    Then, everyone would be enved.


    Immediately after, Wu Mo began to preside over this crucial battle as the world watched!


    "We must win this battle. We cannot lose. Do you understand?"


    The moment Wu Mo said this, themanders of the variousrge factions trembled.


    Murderous intent shed in their eyes as they said in unison, "Yes, Mr. Wu!"


    In an instant, every single stronghold on the was mobilized.


    In the air, they used different methods to continuously transmit information on the enemy so that there was no deviation!


    Meanwhile, more than two hundred battleships were mobilized from Pirna.


    They rushed toward Eternal Sun like a vast ocean.


    However, the Invincible Space Team followed closely behind and bombarded their rear.


    This scene infuriated the leader of Pirna!

    Chapter 722 - 722: Launch the Super Cosmic Radiation Bomb


    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion


    ¡°D*mn it! They¡¯re a bunch of bugs, so I¡¯ll smash them all!¡±


    He hadpletely lost control of Eternal Sun due to his anger. He only wanted to defeat the Invincible Space Team as soon as possible.


    At this moment, Wu Mo t s wishful thinking finally worked.


    After those people were forced into a desperate situation, they would cause a ruckus!


    After this wave of attacks, the Invincible Space Team revealed more than thirty ships.<div>


    However, they still fought and split the Pirnaian fleet into two formations.


    There were nearly a hundred battleships on both sides, so the battleship in the middle did not have much defense power!


    ¡°It¡¯s time. The Divine Wind, go!¡± Wu MO quickly ordered.


    At this moment, the order was like a mountain that had been crushed.


    The Divine Wind¡¯s actions were extremely efficient. The ten strengthened and terrifying Fleeting Ghosts immediately spread out in all directions.


    This spaceship looked very strange. Every spaceship had a huge snake head, which looked very strange.


    The spaceship used the most advanced antimatter engine.


    It could increase the flying speed of the spaceship to five times the speed of


    Such speed hadpletely surpassed the maximum flying speed of a Level 3 civilization. They were catching up to a Level 2 civilization.


    With their current speed, it was impossible for them to catch up before they could react.


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Immediately after, a terrifying beam of light shot out of the huge spaceship.


    Then, the entire battleship received a huge impact.


    The floor shook violently, and the Pirnaians on the battleship were all shocked!


    ¡°What? What¡¯s going on? Who¡¯s attacking us?¡±


    They looked at this scene in disbelief. There were hundreds of ships on both sides of them.


    ¡°Oh, Captain!¡±


    Following a subordinate¡¯s report, all the Pirnaians present were instantly dumbfounded.


    ¡°Ah! What kind of spaceship is that? How could we not notice something approach us?¡±


    ¡°Hurry up! Call the escort ships and blow them up!¡± the captain immediately ordered.


    His life was in their hands.


    However, they were fearless. After all, there were many Pirnaian spaceships.


    This was their trump card. Even if they couldn¡¯t win, they could still escape.


    However, they were still a little unconvinced. After all, they were from an advanced civilization.


    Moreover, he had such powerful strength. If others found out, wouldn¡¯t they lose face?


    At this moment, Wu MO could clearly see ten strengthened Fleeting Ghosts rampaging through space.


    On both sides of it, there were hundreds of battleships rapidly approaching.


    ¡°Haha. It¡¯s time! All bases,unch the super cosmic radiation bombs!¡±


    There was a ruthless glint in Wu Mot s eyes.


    At this moment, he had transformed into a killer who killed without batting an eye.


    His only thought now was to st down the huge ship in front of him.


    Bang bang bang!


    After receiving Wu Mo t s order, the space-time node that had been prepared earlier immediatelyunched an attack.


    Over a hundred times of cosmic radiation had drained the energy of the entire base.


    One could imagine how much cosmic radiation this consumed!


    However, they were very satisfied with the results.


    More than a hundred cosmic rays bombarded thergest space warship.


    At this moment, the Pirnaians on the spaceships let out miserable screams!


    They missed their homes and their families, and they felt regret for their invasion.


    ¡°Captain, we have to find a way to escape as soon as possible. Otherwise, we¡¯ll all die here!¡±


    Those aliens wanted to cry but had no tears. They were extremely regretful now.


    How did he randomly barge into a with a low-level civilization?


    However, this group of lowly fellows had disyed such terrifying strength and directly beaten them to a pulp!


    Worse still, they had no strength to retaliate at all.


    The surrounding spaceships were still flying over, but it did not matter.


    Didn¡¯t you see?


    There were one hundred of them, and they were the strongest in the entire universe.


    One or two was still fine, but how could they fight a hundred and twenty-seven?


    ¡°Shut up. Even if we die here, we can still fight for this world!¡±


    The leader was furious. After he finished speaking, no one dared to say anything.


    ¡°Sir, there is one chance for survival!¡± a Pirnaian suddenly said.


    ¡°Ah, then tell me, what do we do?¡±


    ¡°Captain, have you forgotten that there¡¯s a group of super experts there? If we can rush in and capture that monster, then extract some mutated genes from it, perhaps we can obtain the ability of these monsters!¡±


    When the Pirnaian leader heard this, he immediatelyughed out loud!


    He had been so anxious that he had forgotten his trump card.


    ¡°Very good. Bring fifty spaceships to protect us there. I¡¯ll take one spaceship to that and think of a way to control the¡¯s dominant species!¡±


    As soon as he finished speaking, the leader immediately extended a finger and pointed in Dark Star¡¯s direction. His gaze was sharp as he stared at the.


    Then, the situation changed drastically.


    The battleship jumped above the cosmic radiation!


    Over on the base camp, Wu MO realized that something was amiss after he heard what Duan Lingtian said.


    ¡°What? They didn¡¯t run away when the cosmic radiation exploded?¡±


    Wu MO narrowed his eyes.


    He realized that the Pirnaians didn¡¯t seem to have any intention of escaping. Instead, they were heading in a certain direction.


    ¡°Everyone, be careful. Use the cosmic radiation cannon to block him. Don¡¯t let


    mm escape!¡±


    Following Wu Mo¡¯s order, the spatial nodes and battleships began to move.


    At this moment, the chaos on the battlefield had reached its climax.


    In space, one could even see the debris of spaceships slowly falling!


    At this moment, the interster battleship suddenly spewed out mes and elerated.


    Swoosh swoosh¡­


    Although it was huge, it was extremely fast, and it almost reached the speed of light.


    ¡°Ah! It¡¯s such a huge spaceship. How can it be so fast?¡±


    At this moment, on the base closest to them, an officer¡¯s expression instantly became unpleasant.


    Very soon, everyone understood that he was trying to get close to Dark Star!


    ¡°Why are they heading to Dark Star? Is there arge space tunnel on the or something?¡±


    Everyone tried to figure out their intentions, but no matter how much they pondered, no one could find the answer..

 Chapter 723 - 723: There’s Something Strange About This Giant Beast

    Chapter 723 - 723: There¡¯s Something Strange About This Giant Beast


    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion


    Wu MO thought about it seriously.


    It was a rtively developed, and there was nothing special about it.


    It only differed from others because it had a strange creature there.


    The creature had crawled out of the diamond mine. Its body was covered in dense barbs, and it looked like a pangolin.


    ¡°What? A monster? They¡¯re trying to get close to that monster. Could it be¡­<div>


    In an instant, a lightbulb went off in his head. He had discovered a shocking possibility!


    Were the Pirnaians deliberately approaching to cause trouble?


    ¡°No, absolutely not! Isn¡¯t this just a normal wild beast? Why would they capture


    Wu Mo¡¯s brows were tightly knitted. He really could not understand what was going on.


    Nevertheless, his orders were immediately conveyed to themander on Dark Star.


    ¡°Warning! We need to protect the pangolin that we¡¯ve just found and prevent anyone from taking it!¡±


    ¡°Yes! Mr. wu!¡±


    Upon receiving his order, the military immediately strengthened the eightyer defense line.


    Then, they brought the giant pangolin into a secret prison a hundred meters underground and protected it closely.


    Just then, many spaceships slowly came approached Dark Star. These included hundreds of Pirnaian spaceships.


    ¡°Oh, my God. They¡¯re here. We¡¯ll have to fight back!¡±


    The temporarymander in a ck helmet had fear in his eyes.


    There was no other choice. This was a matter of life and death for all the Dark Starlings. At this critical moment, he could not let Wu MO down no matter what!


    He would lead the entire Dark Star civilization to resist and fight the Pirnaians to death.


    However, something unexpected happened.


    Behind him, millions of Dark Star warriors had begun to stir!


    ¡°Lower civilizations can scram! Only advanced civilizations are qualified to rule


    ¡°Yes. You ant-like creatures want to rule our?¡±


    ¡°Brothers, attack! Drive them away!¡±


    Themander was dumbfounded.


    He never expected such a thing to happen at this critical juncture. They had been able to maintain absolute control over Dark Star, yet the Dark Starlings were betraying them.


    How was this possible?


    ¡°Mr. Wu! This is urgent!¡±


    Right then, Wu MO heard a piece of urgent news that rendered him speechless.


    ¡°Where¡¯s Mr. Wii?¡±


    The assistant next to him was a little puzzled too. Why was Wu MO not saying anything?


    Therefore, they checked the message.


    After they took a look, everyone was furious!


    ¡°D*mn it! These people really deserve to die. Why don¡¯t we just carry out an ethnic cleansing?¡± one of Wu Mo t s subordinates suggested.


    However, Wu MO only shook his head slightly.


    ¡°Capture the leader and keep a close watch on him. If necessary, we¡¯ll use violence. If they insist on causing trouble, we can only resort to drastic measures!¡± He had no choice!


    His tone carried a trace of impatience.


    ¡°Yes, Mr. Wii!¡±


    After they heard what Wu MO said, the officers began to work with ease.


    They could only use the power of wind and lightning to suppress them!


    Otherwise, once the Pirnaians breached their defenses, the Dark Starlings would join forces with them to deal with the humans. That would be the most reckless thing to do.


    The Pirnaian battleship arrived first, while the others were on their way.


    Bang bang bang!


    They saw a terrifying pir of light following a loud bang. It heavily bombarded Dark Star¡¯s surface.


    In the blink of an eye, the whole of Dark Star trembled. All the people living on the were horrified!


    ¡°D*mn it! What¡¯s going on?!¡±


    Everyone walked out of a restaurant and looked up at the sky.


    As they saw the ck mass that was about tond, their hearts were filled with deep despair.


    Only the Dark Starlings were extremely excited. They were still trying their best to wee the Pirnaian spaceship.


    ¡°Kill them!¡±


    Themander gave the order, and teams of special forces soldiers walked out from the various strongholds. They held electromaic guns in their hands and fired wildly at the enemy.


    ¡°How f*cking bold. He¡¯s shooting over like that?¡±


    ¡°Run!¡±


    ¡°God, help me. I don¡¯t want to die¡­¡±


    In this desperate situation, they finally understood the terror of death. They knelt on the ground and begged.


    However, after receiving Wu Mo t s instructions, this officer did not have the slightest intention of retreating.


    They must have ulterior motives!


    ¡°Of course, they won¡¯t obediently submit to us. They will only resist when it¡¯s the most dangerous.¡±


    Since that was the case, he might as well kill them now!


    Bullets rained down from all directions.


    Batches after batches of Dark Star experts were killed. Under such a dense barrage of artillery fire, not many people could withstand it!


    Soon after, the Pirnaian spaceships alsonded.


    The door of the driver¡¯s seat was pushed open, and the Pirnaians rushed over with terrifying killing intent.


    Although their faces seemed blurry, they still had some features.


    One could vaguely see the killing intent in their eyes!


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Pirnaians rushed onto the battlefield and engaged in closebat with the humans.


    Ta ta ta ta!


    The human special forces used their electronic guns to form a firework to block the attack of the Pirnaians.


    One of them was holding a high-tech recon meter in his hand.


    He was scanning the sky to obtain some important information.


    A momentter, he pointed with a proud expression!


    ¡°It¡¯s over there. Let¡¯s rush in!¡±


    When he saw the direction that person was pointing at, he was stunned.


    He was already certain that the person wasing for him.


    When Wu MO saw this scene, he made the same judgment!


    If they wanted to attack their, it definitely had something to do with the pangolin they were talking about.


    ¡°No. This monster looks like a sea monster, but other than its strange appearance, it doesn¡¯t seem to have any special power. How did the Pirnaian get his hands on it?¡±


    Wu Mo¡¯s brain began to work rapidly.


    He needed to find the most important ce.


    This ce was very likely to be the decisive factor in this battle.


    If this operation was ruined by a pangolin, Wu MO would never be at ease.


    ¡°We have to keep an eye on that giant beast. We can¡¯t let the Pirnaian take it away!¡±


    Wu MO repeated this sentence over and over again, expressing his determination.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, please rest assured. With me around, no one in the world will be able to snatch that demonic beast from my hands!¡±


    Themander was also a general who had experienced hundreds of battles. He gritted his teeth as he spoke..

    Chapter 724: We Can ¡®t Let That Pangolin Beast Be Snatched Away


    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion


    Themander made up his mind. He led a group of special elites and headed straight for the Pirnaians.


    ¡°Die!¡±


    And now, both sides were in a battle stance on this in withplex terrain.


    Neither side was willing to give way to the other. Both sides were shooting crazily, and people were constantly injured.


    In an instant, the entire ce was like a purgatory!


    It wasn¡¯t long before they received a distress signal from the aliens.


    As the interster battleshipsnded one after another.


    Laser cannons rained down and scattered the Pirnaian army below. ¡°D*mn it! They¡¯re plotting against me? Kill them!¡±


    The leading expert on the spaceship gave the order, and hundreds of spaceships began to circle the area.


    Immediately after, the battleships of both sides collided fiercely!


    This battle could be said to be the grandest battle in history.


    In the sky, the fleet was engaged in an intense battle. On the ground, the Pirnaians and Dark Starlings were also engaged in an intense battle.


    After more than an hour, the people of Pirna were still unable to move.


    They were stuck in a small canyon, unable to move an inch!


    There was another mountain less than two kilometers away from them.


    At the bottom of the mountain, there was a prison that imprisoned monsters.


    This was also why the people of Pirna were so anxious. They desperately wanted to break through theyers of obstacles and get their hands on this Lord-tier creature.


    ¡°Captain, this is bad. The number of enemy battleships is increasing, and there are still dozens of those strange ghostly battleships. It¡¯s likely that we might not be able to break through their fleet.¡±


    At this moment, an adjutant walked over and spoke to the captain.


    The burly Pirnaian leader focused his gaze. He immediately made a decision and gave the order.


    ¡°In that case, we¡¯ll use the battleship to raze this mountain range to the ground!¡±


    ¡°Captain, if we do this, our ship might be trapped here. Please reconsider!¡±


    The Pirnaians were a little worried. After all, if it was really like what he said and they just destroyed the area, the oue would be unimaginable.


    However, it was obvious that his orders would not change!


    ¡°Do as I say. Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re going to disobey orders?¡±


    Therefore, no one dared to resist. They just obediently steered the huge battleship and continued to move forward.


    Upon seeing this spaceship, themander immediately led a group of elites to defend with all his might!


    ¡°D*mn it! Open fire!¡±


    After he gave the order, the electromaic cannons and all kinds of ordinary weapons began to fire at the pangolin, forming a dense fire.


    Such a huge spaceship slowly descended hundreds of meters above the ground. The entire sky seemed to be covered!


    That atmosphere made everyone feel a sense of despair as their heart slowly sank.


    In the next moment, chaos erupted again.


    ¡°Impossible! We can¡¯t let them get any closer! Kill them all!¡±


    Themander-in-chief¡¯s eyes were bloodshot. He held an electromaic gun in his hand and fired wildly at the battleship.


    However, it was obvious that such an attack was still far inferior to cosmic radiation. It could not break through the battleship¡¯s defense at all.


    As time passed, the spaceship got lower and lower, getting closer and closer to the top of the mountain.


    Bang!


    In an instant, a huge explosion sounded.


    Everyone¡¯s ears were buzzing. They were dumbfounded and could not believe their eyes!


    In the headquarters, Wu MO couldn¡¯t help but jump down from his seat.


    Then, he slowly put down themunicator in his hand.


    He could no longer describe this scene with words!


    Those berserk Pirna people were actually charging towards a mountain with their huge ships. What were they doing?


    At the same time, Wu MO couldn¡¯t help but wonder if they were going to leave this ce.


    What was their motive for doing this?


    ¡°Mr. Wu, are they all crazy? Are they doing this to drag Dark Star down with them?¡± an assistant muttered.


    ¡°Even so, they can¡¯t destroy the. They can try, but their spaceships has been damaged!¡± said another person hurriedly.¡±


    However, no one gave them an answer. The way the Pirnaians acted was too strange. No one knew what their true purpose was.


    ¡°Don¡¯t think about it too much. Let¡¯s wait and see!¡± Wu MO said slowly. He nned to act ording to the situation.


    However, after the first collision with this mountain, the huge spaceship immediately retreated and collided with this mountain again.


    Bang bang bang!


    Only after they had ttened the entire mountain range did Wu MO realize that something was wrong.


    ¡°Wait. Have they found the pangolin?¡±


    Therefore, he contacted themander-in-chief immediately.


    At this moment, themander-in-chief¡¯s eyes were red from fighting, so he did not notice Wu Mo¡¯s message at all.


    When he came back to his senses, his face immediately revealed an ashamed expression!


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mr. Wu. I was fighting the Pirnaians earlier, so I didn¡¯t notice.


    Wu MO waved his hand and said, ¡°It¡¯s fine. Go and look for it. See if it¡¯s imprisoned in a big iron cage. Is it at the foot of this mountain?¡¯¡±¡®


    At this moment, under Wu Mo t s inquiry, themander-in-chief immediately looked over and asked the other two toe over to verify.


    In an instant, his expression changed drastically! He was not a fool and immediately understood this point.


    ¡°Sh*t! What¡¯s going on? They audacity!¡±


    Themander gritted his teeth and immediately charged forward with his subordinates.


    ¡°Don¡¯t forget! No matter what, we can¡¯t let that pangolin beast be snatched away by the battleship. Understand?¡±


    Wu MO gritted his teeth and gave another order.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll be right there!¡±


    Soon, themander-in-chief received the help he needed.


    Fortresses and spaceships were rushing over.


    They formed a huge barrier and blocked the huge space battleship outside!


    The battleship seemed to want to hit the mountain again, but just as it was about to hit the mountain, the sma beams came crashing down.


    Bang bang bang!


    Theser cannon bombarded the battleship.


    Those battleships were already riddled with holes under the bombardment of cosmic radiation waves.


    Now, it was once again bombarded by cosmic radiation waves. Pieces of debris fell from the sky.


    At this moment, they truly felt fear.. No one dared to attack so violently!

    ¡°Captain, should we set off now?¡± an adjutant asked when he saw this scene.


    ¡°Yes! Send out ten people and try to enter the underground. I can sense a powerful force underground.¡±


    The burly Pirnaian leader could not suppress his excitement.


    He felt a powerful force hidden below.


    If he could bring it back and analyze it, he could incorporate it into his body and possess a terrifying third power.


    At that time, their position in the universe would be secure, and they could act more aggressively!


    Thinking of this, the leader felt like he couldn¡¯t breathe, and his eyes shone with a menacing light.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The Pirnaians jumped out of the interster battleships and hit the ground first.


    ¡°Oh, no! They¡¯re getting out. Stop them quickly, or else Mr. Wu is going to be furious!¡±


    At this moment, themander-in-chief immediately gave the order to lead a group of elites and rush toward that area.


    As soon as the two sides came into contact, themander-in-chief realized how terrifying these Pirnaians were!


    In terms ofbat skills, even ordinary human elites could notpare to them, let alone their special abilities.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Suddenly, the young human made his move.


    With a p, terrifyings me spewed out of his palm and turned a Pirnaian into ashes.


    ¡°Haha! Let¡¯s have a good look at Mr. Wu¡¯s supernatural ability!¡±


    The biochemical capsule that Wu MO had developed was very useful at this time!


    Many soldiers had undergone this transformation and received it.


    In addition, Wu MO had also transferred some soldiers to help them gain a foothold on this, so they could be of great use.


    The other soldiers also disyed their special abilities.


    Some released a bolt of lightning on their palms, while others condensed ayer of ice on their palms, freezing their opponents!


    In short, each of them possessed extremely powerful abilities, and the Pirnaians felt their hair stand on end.


    ¡°D*mn it! Why does he have such an ability?¡±


    Seeing this scene, the burly Pirnaian leader was shocked and furious. He did not know what to do.


    At this moment, an adjutant began to study the information theirrades had passed to them.


    They knew that this might be a way to deal with advanced civilizations.


    ¡°This is a great attack, just like our gene snatching. However,pared to us, they are still at a disadvantage!¡± An adjutant looked on with disdain.


    At this moment, the leader¡¯s most elite soldiers were fighting with the young humans.


    Thanks to their special abilities, they were not afraid of those monsters!


    The people from both sides were fighting fiercely, each using their most terrifying methods.


    In the end, the entire battlefield was soaked in blood.


    Further away, themander-in-chief was still roaring and firing his electronic rifle!


    Unfortunately, their trump card was to fight speed with speed.


    They were so fast that the young humans could not catch up to them!


    In the end, the two Pirnatians broke through theyers of defense and headed straight for the prison underground.


    ¡°Die!¡±


    Some outstanding soldiers walked forward and gave them a beating.


    But in the next moment, the Pirnaian¡¯s body was as slippery as a small fish as it dove into the hole.


    ¡°Boss, we¡¯re here to help you!¡±


    Seeing this scene, the Pirnaians could not help but smile.


    They could see that the monster was bound to the ground by a lightning chain!


    However, at this moment, one of the Pirnaian¡¯s fingers suddenly changed shape to resemble a key. Then, it entered the key hole.


    Pa, pa, pa!


    Then, the Pirnaian unlocked the chains and released the monster. ¡°D*mn it! What are you doing? Stop right there!¡±


    Themander-in-chief¡¯s eyes turned red at the sight of this.


    Wu MO had reminded Fang Yun many times to keep an eye on the giant pangolin.


    If he really lost it here, how could he go back and face Wu MO!


    ¡°Die!¡±


    Themander shouted and led the soldiers towards the prison.


    However, at this moment, a deafening roar turned into a terrifying airwave that sent everyone flying!


    Themander was sent flying into the air by the huge wave. Blood spurted from his mouth and he was unable to speak for a long time.


    ¡°Sh*t! What¡¯s going on?¡±


    Everyone in the headquarters saw the terrifying scene.


    Wu MO was sipping on tea, but when he heard it, he almost spat his tea out!


    Such a roar¡­


    Even though it had been a long time, they were still stunned by this scene.


    ¡°Wait, wasn¡¯t that the pangolin monster just now? Why did it feel like he was not a monster at all?¡±


    Wu MO thought for a moment and asked.


    In the next moment, as the smoke dissipated, everyone eximed in surprise.


    T huge monster had actually escaped. On its back were two people.


    There were actually two people from Pirna!


    The two Pirnaians must have reached some kind of agreement with the monster, which was why they were allowed to ride on the monster and enjoy a special privilege.


    ¡°Overlord, kill everything in front of you!¡± a Pirnaian sitting on its back suddenly spoke.


    It immediately nodded as a trace of ruthlessness shed in its eyes.


    Boom!


    It let out a terrifying roar and rushed forward.


    It was truly too fast.


    Themander-in-chief could only roll on the ground and dodge its attack. It ended up smashing a rock into pieces.


    ¡°What is this?¡±


    Wu MO heard what the Pirnaian had said clearly. He had called the monster ¡°Overlord.¡±


    ¡°Are the Pirnaians here to obtain this creature¡¯s blood for some huge purpose?¡±


    Thinking of this, Wu MO suddenly felt a deep sense of regret.


    If he had known this would happen, he would not have thrown the giant pangolin underground. Instead, he would have brought it back.


    One should know that there was an extremely tight defense on his home.


    Even the Pirnaians would find it hard to break through their defenses.


    But now, they had allowed the Pirnaians to discover it.


    Moreover, they treated it as a creature powerful enough to snatch away.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, it¡¯s not like we don¡¯t have a solution. For example, we could use a huge bomb to blow up the entire prison!¡± an officer suggested.


    At this point, they didn¡¯t have a better choice.


    There was disbelief in Wu Mo¡¯s eyes.. It was obvious that he couldn¡¯t make such a choice!

    It was noughing matter.


    Perhaps, this opportunity was for them to take their civilization to the next level.


    Therefore, it was difficult to kill it when things were uncertain.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, we need to make a choice. Otherwise, when that beastes to the surface, I¡¯m afraid no one will be able to deal with it,¡± a general next to him spoke in a low voice.


    He was a mature and steady person, so his suggestion was naturally the best one.


    Wu MO nodded and said, ¡°Use abination ofser cannons to finish that pangolin off.¡±


    Following this, those on site immediately attacked.


    Arge number of sma beams and nuclear bombs had been set up on the.


    The heads of the cannons were already poking out. They aimed at their target and fired from both sides.


    Bang bang bang!


    Two terrifying mushrooms soared into the sky as if they were trying to disrupt the battle.


    Almost in an instant, the ships of both sides began to move backwvard to reveal a huge pit before them.


    ¡°D*mn it! How could this be?¡±


    The burly Pirnaian leader was dumbfounded as he stood on a broken bridge within his battleship.


    He did not expect the pangolin to be killed by the enemy after they spent so much effort to capture it.


    ¡°Lowly little bug¡­ I swear that I will destroy this world at all costs!¡± the Pirnaian leader roared angrily.


    His voice seemed to be able to pass through the light screen and reach Wu Mo¡¯s ears.


    ¡°Haha! What¡¯s the matter? Are you at a dead end? I¡¯ll let you have a taste of my continuous attacks!¡±


    A disdainful smile appeared on Wu Mo¡¯s face.


    However, in the next second, his expression froze.


    He could hear the burly Pirnaian leader¡¯s arrogantughter!


    ¡°Haha. The explosion didn¡¯t kill us. We¡¯re still alive, and we¡¯ve gotten some samples.¡±


    When Wu MO heard this, his expression immediately turned unpleasant.


    He was now certain that the creatures on Pirna must have done something to change the pangolin.


    In other words, they could steal their genes from this pangolin and modify them.


    Either way, this was a terrible turn of events, so Wu MO had to stop it.


    ¡°Deploy the Divine Wind and block all the Pirna people on the Dark.


    Don¡¯t let a single one of them go!¡±


    Wu Mo¡¯s tone was very low as he ordered slowly.


    ¡°Okay! Mr. Wu, the Divine Wind is about to make their move!¡±


    The Divine Wind¡¯s captain was a young man in his twenties. His name was Lei


    Zhen.


    Lei Zhen had been undergoing special martial arts training since a long time ago and had sessfully graduated from the martial arts school.


    There was no doubt about his professionalism, and Wu MO had a very high opinion of him!


    At this moment, Lei Zhen was on a main-control aircraft. He and his team members slowly arrived.


    Then, they formed a terrifying line of defense, aiming at every corner of the sky!


    In such an environment, any Pirnaian battleship would be destroyed.


    As long as they wanted to fly, they would immediately be attacked by the Divine Wind.


    Next to them was an invincible team that was fighting the enemy fleet!


    Under such circumstances, Wu MO had the absolute upper hand.


    From the disadvantage at the beginning, to the advantageter, and then to the advantageter.


    ¡°Captain, we are trapped. Take this pile of gic codes and escape through the four-dimensional space!¡±


    At this moment, on the control panel of the starship.


    The Pirnaians were all in despair.


    The burly Pirnaian leader didn¡¯t show any emotion on his face.


    How could he not feel despair?


    In the beginning, they were full of confidence, thinking that they could colonize this star field.


    However, no one had expected that the other party would actuallyunch such a fierce attack on them.


    He was still at a loss and did not know what had happened!


    Even an advanced Level 2 civilization like them couldn¡¯tpete.


    However, he had to face a dilemma. How could he leave hispanions behind and leave this ce alone?


    If he left with a sample of an overlord-ss creature and left everyone here, it would be a waste of time.


    When he returned to Earth, would he be reprimanded by the others?


    Although no one said anything, they could not calm down.


    ¡°Sigh, forget it. I won¡¯t take these samples and leave first. We¡¯ll work together and try to get as many of us as possible to escape.¡±


    He had originally been burly, but now, he looked like an old man, weak and vulnerable.


    Everyone was dumbfounded.


    Everyone could clearly see that the attack was too fierce!


    The Fleeting Ghosts gradually became the main force of the attack and began to shoot continuously.


    The sma explosion in the void turned into the strongest destructive force and sted their spaceship into pieces!


    Its shell fell off piece by piece, and the core inside was hit.


    At this point, the Pirnaians knew that they were really in a situation where they would die.


    Boom!


    Aser cannon bombarded their bridge, knocking them off their feet. Many of the Pirna people were knocked off their feet by theser cannon.


    ¡°Captain, you have to make a prompt decision. There¡¯s no time to lose. Their attacks are getting fiercer and fiercer!¡±


    At this moment, a subordinate rushed over.


    Meanwhile, Wu MO sensed something strange on the base camp.


    Why didn¡¯t they escape in their spaceship when faced with such an attack?


    Did they have other ns?


    ¡°Hurry up! Prepare the cosmic radiation bomb immediately!¡±


    Wu MO immediately gave the order. He felt that the Pirnaians were probably looking for a special escape method.


    ¡°We have to shoot them down as soon as possible. We can¡¯t let them escape!


    ¡°Yes, Mr. Wii!¡±


    The base resumed operations, and the umted antimatter energy began to release terrifying cosmic radiation.


    The Pirnaians¡¯ eyes widened as they stared at the big screen. Their hearts were filled with despair!


    it!¡±


    The Pirnaians held everything they could and trembled.


    In the next instant, a huge explosion rang out.


    The spaceship, which was already on the verge of copse, finally couldn¡¯t take it anymore and exploded!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Large pieces of shells fell from the sky. The central control room could no longer hold on and copsed.


    Immediately after, the Pirnaians deployed their strongest means of escape..

    ¡°We¡¯re doomed!¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s go! Run! Think of a way to get back to our. Once you get there, call for backup immediately!¡±


    ¡°D*mn it! Captain, we have to find a way for you to escape!¡±


    Everyone had already given up on resisting. There was only one thought left in their minds: Their leader woulde to save them.


    They could only see the terrifying beams of lightpletely destroy every trace of hope in their hearts!


    Coincidentally, the huge beast had been killed.


    While its body was preserved, he was holding a piece of meat.


    He performed four dimensional jumps as fast as he could and escaped into the distance!


    He knew that if he was a second slower, he would be ambushed by others.


    Therefore, what he had to escape through the space tunnel!


    ¡°Hehe, are you nning to do another four-dimensional jump? I¡¯vee prepared! ¡±


    In the headquarters, Wu Mo¡¯s eyes shed with ruthlessness.


    Since they already knew the enemy¡¯s strength, how could they not be prepared?


    Therefore, he triggered an emergency with the simple press of a button.


    Bang!


    Terrifying beams of light shot out from the bases.


    The light beams spread out like ripples on a calmke.


    The pirs of light seemed to transform into a light screen that blocked the sky!


    In other words, from now on, no one would dare mess around there.


    No one could travel through the void freely under such circumstances.


    The Pirnaian¡¯s burly body fell from the sky.


    There was a huge hole in his head, and he looked tragic!


    ¡°What? No way! My ability to travel through space has disappeared!¡± His heart skipped a beat.


    He suddenly realized that something had canceled out his ability to jump through space. It suddenly became ineffective!


    ¡°No, no! I¡¯ll try again!¡±


    He gritted his teeth and decided to try again.


    Pa!


    However, reality was cruel, and he fell from the sky.


    ¡°D*mn it! No way. Why is this happening?¡± He wanted to cry.


    No matter how hard he tried, nothing happened!


    ¡°Hehehe! Mr. Wu, look at how miserable he is. Does he really think he cane and go as he pleases in the universe?¡± An assistantughed and said.


    It was obvious that this burly Pirnaian leader had truly possessed the ability to perform four dimensional jumps.


    However, when Wu MO did something to lock onto the void, his power lost its effectiveness!


    To teleport through the void, one had to ensure that the was very stable and not shaking in the slightest.


    However, while Wu MO was studying this, he found a way to make the gate between dimensions useless using space distortion.


    At this moment, the same thing prevented the Pirnaian leader from teleporting.


    ¡°D*mn it! In that case, I¡¯ll kill you all!¡±


    The Pirnaian leader suddenly turned his head. A terrifying power erupted, and he charged toward the human fighters.


    Hula!


    The elite soldiers fired wildly.


    Terrifying beams of energy shot out of their hands and bombarded the Pirnaian leader.


    However, he was tenacious as if he had a very strong defense. He endured wave after wave of bullets and continued to charge forward!


    He raised his hand and waved it. As he caused chaos in the air, rows of elite soldiers fell.


    ¡°Oh, what kind of ability is that? He seems very strong, and he can even cause the void to tremble?¡±


    Seeing this, Wu Mo¡¯s pupils constricted.


    He had been studying him for a long time, but he still couldn¡¯t identify what kind of terrifying power the Pirnaian leader possessed!


    All in all, the function of his ability was to produce a huge space-time shock.


    Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to directly knock someone to the ground.


    ¡°Did you see that? He¡¯s trying to break through out defenses!¡± a general shouted.


    At this moment, the Pirnaian leader let out a furious roar.


    His legs became extremely thick, and he soared into the sky like a huge dragon.


    His terrifying jumping ability allowed him to leap up andnd on the debris of a battleship.


    Using the fragments as stepping stones, he charged toward the next battleship!


    ¡°How could this be? Did that monster just transform into a ¡®living battleship?¡±¡® everyone muttered to themselves in disbelief.


    The whole thing was so unreal!


    Then, he jumped onto the first battleship and used its power to tear through the defense line.


    ¡°Hmph. If we let him escape, we might as wellmit suicide!¡±


    Themander-in-chief returned to his senses and quickly ordered a blockade.


    All the battleships in the void were mobilized.


    Hundreds of battleships charged at the Pirnaian in a frenzy to stop it!


    ¡°Go to hell, you trash!¡±


    The burly man in the lead knocked the Pirnaian leader to the side.


    Then, he began to focus on piloting his battleship.


    As a former skilled pilot, he had plenty of experience. Therefore, he was already familiar with piloting.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The battleship he piloted gave off apletely different feeling. It was like a nimble fish swimming on the surface of the water without obstruction.


    Not long after, the Pirnaian rushed out of the encirclement and entered the deepest part of the void!


    ¡°Hehehe. I¡¯m escaping. You low-level civilizations will wait here for my army to descend.¡±


    The Pirnaian leader stood on the bridge by the control panel and let out an angry roar!


    On top of that, he looked very happy as an image appeared in his mind.


    In the future, he would lead his army back to this region to conquer the threes.


    Yes, what was the use of a Level 3 civilization?


    To him, they were nothing more than primitive life forms!


    Seeing his ship getting farther and farther away until it only looked like a tiny dot, Wu Mo¡¯s face became extremely gloomy.


    Everyone¡¯s face darkened. No one had expected this situation to ur.


    Before this, they were confident that they could capture the Pirnaian leader!


    In addition, not only had he taken the pangolin¡¯s corpse, he also nned to expose it.


    When the time came and more advanced interster civilizations arrived, how were they going to develop safely?

    ¡°What should we do, Mr. Wu?¡± an officer asked.


    After he opened his mouth, he felt as if his throat was blocked by something, and it was extremely hoarse!


    There was nothing they could do. Everyone was very anxious. At this point, no one could escape.


    Once the matter was investigated, everyone would have to bear the consequences.


    ¡°Sigh, there¡¯s no other choice now. Let the people in front retreat, then we¡¯ll think of a way to open the spatial gate and stop this thing!¡±<div>


    At this moment, Wu MO could only helplessly shake his head and sigh.


    The only thing he could do now was to use the spatial passageway to arrive at that void.


    Using the spatial passageway to carry out ultra-long-distance detection.


    If it was elerated to three to five times the speed of sound, it would be a fantasy!


    ¡°Yes, Mr. Wu, we¡¯ll set off now!¡±


    Soon, someone set up a Space Gate in the pitch-ck space and used a special method to connect them.


    At this moment, a spatial gate suddenly opened.


    A team of special forces charged straight into the crowd.


    Bang!


    The moment those elite experts walked out of the spatial tunnel, they carefully sized up their surroundings.


    Unfortunately, they had yet to find the spaceship that had escaped!


    ¡°Mr. Wu, bad news, we didn¡¯t find the spaceship, it might have escaped.


    From the news from the front line, everyone had a serious look on their faces.


    He was the leader of Pirna. He was the number one enemy of the human race and would definitely be a great disaster in the future!


    If he didn¡¯t get rid of him, Wu MO wouldn¡¯t be able to sleep well.


    At this moment, everyone was racking their brains to think of a countermeasure!


    Wu MO pondered for a moment and suddenlyughed.


    ¡°Oh, why is Mr. Wuughing so hard?¡±


    ¡°Did you see that? Mr. Wu¡¯s smile is so strange!¡±


    Everyone felt a chill.


    They didn¡¯t understand why Wu MO could still maintain his smile at this moment.


    ¡°How about I send a ship to Pirna and track them down?¡± Wu MO asked. ¡°We¡¯ll find out how they¡¯re doing.¡±


    How advanced was their technology?¡±


    Now that Wu MO suddenly said this, everyone was stunned and speechless.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, what nonsense are you talking about? This spaceship has lost control.


    We can¡¯t see its figure at all. You said we would send a spaceship to track it!¡±


    ¡°How? Could this be an empty promise?¡±


    At this moment, everyone was confused.


    Immediately after, Wu MO pressed another button.


    In a secret base, a translucent protectiveyer was opened.


    A huge universe ship rose from the base. ¡°What kind of spaceship is that? Why haven¡¯t I seen it before?¡±


    Everyone was confused by this scene.


    All of them were staring at the space fighter.


    In the next moment, after the spaceship rose into the air, itpletely disappeared in front of everyone.


    After that, it became transparent bit by bit, looking very strange!


    ¡°Ah! Was that an invisible battleship? But Mr. Wu, why is this invisible spaceship so size?¡±


    Everyone raised their doubts.


    Normally, stealth battleships were very small, so that they could be hidden better.


    However, this battleship was really quite big.


    Wu MO smiled and said,¡± This spaceship is made with the most advanced technology. Its stealth effect will definitely not disappoint you. Moreover, the tracking function of the spaceship is unparalleled!¡±


    That¡¯s right, Wu MO had spent a lot of money just to get it from the system store.


    He had obtained such a thing from that ship.


    This was currently the most advanced technology in the military.


    There was a reason Wu MO dared to say such big words.


    Before this, they had no way of finding the location of the ship on Pirna.


    And this spaceship carried everyone¡¯s hope, heading into the depths of the universe to explore the dangers hidden in the depths of the universe. ¡°Mr. Wu, what is the name of that space battleship?¡±


    At this moment, amander saw the huge battleship in the distance and said.


    How could such a powerful ship not have a special name?


    ¡°I named it Divine Sword!¡± Wu MO said slowly.


    Divine Sword?


    Everyone was shocked. This was a very ordinary and rough name.


    However, it was very imposing and suited the characteristics of China.


    Once this sharp de was pulled out, all Outsiders would submit!


    ¡°That¡¯s great! Hopefully he could find this escaping universe ship and intercept it.¡±


    Excitement shed through the eyes of the generals as they stared at the screen.


    Under Wu Mo t s remote control, the battleship entered stealth mode, and its speed increased.


    When it was close to six times the speed of sound, everyone in the control center was stunned!


    ¡°Huh?! Six times the speed of sound?¡±


    Everyone could not believe it. If the thermal detector did not show that the speed was six times the speed of sound, everyone would have thought that this was a scam.


    What did it mean for such a huge stealth ship to travel at six times the speed of sound?


    Even a small stealth battleship would not have such speed, let alone a huge


    unc.


    Was it because of therge mass that it became slower?


    Under the condition of invisibility, the gap between Divine Sword and Pirna was gradually narrowing.


    Wu Mo¡¯s eyes shed. He could sense that the invisible battleship was approaching the Pirnaian ship!


    ¡°Over there, look! It¡¯s about half a light-year away from us!¡± Wu MO shouted, and everyone¡¯s gazesnded on him in unison.


    Sure enough, they felt a faint fluctuation of the void less than a light year away from them. The speed of the fluctuation was much faster than they had imagined, but it was still a beat slower.


    ¡°Hehe, what a fast speed. In this world, you can be considered one of the best level 2 space civilizations!¡± amander said proudly.


    But at this moment, his expression suddenly froze because he was sure that the captain of Pirna had actually increased his speed!


    ¡°Huh? Could he have noticed?¡±


    At this moment, Wu Mot s expression changed.


    It didn¡¯t exist! Of course not!


    However, he quickly dismissed this idea.


    There was no doubt that the stealth technology of this battleship was unparalleled.


    Wu MO understood, because there was a message clearly recorded in his mind..

 Chapter 729 - 729: Strange Stealth Technique

    Chapter 729 - 729: Strange Stealth Technique


    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion


    ¡°This is simr to the stealth technology of a Level 1 civilization. Level 2 civilizations will not be able to detect the existence of this spaceship. They will only appear when they choose to do so or when they are attacked by something stronger than cosmic radiation!¡±


    It was a simple sentence, but it showed how terrifying this battleship was.


    Under such circumstances, how did a Level 2 civilization like the one on Pirna detect their existence?


    Wu MO was still curious as to why the Pirnaian battleship did not elerate at first.


    Instead, it suddenly elerated when the Divine Sword got closer and closer?<div>


    Unbeknownst to Wu MO, the Pirnaian leader in the control room had an excited expression. He realized that there were reinforcements ahead.


    Therefore, he elerated at full speed,pletely ignoring the spaceship¡¯s energy consumption!


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The spaceship was extremely fast, almost reaching five times the speed of sound.


    As a result, the distance between the two battleships was shortened by a lot, and they could no longer keep up.


    ¡°Sigh. What a pity, Mr. Wu. It won¡¯t be easy for us to catch him!¡±


    Everyone felt a trace of regret.


    He had thought that he would be able to catch up to the Pirnaian ship in an hour, but it was getting slower and slower!


    Soon, everyone saw the reinforcements sent by Pirna in the video.


    For a moment, everyone¡¯s hearts were filled with sorrow.


    Was this the fate of mankind?


    However, Wu MO didn¡¯t stop there. He quickly pressed the control button in front of him.


    ¡°Hurry up!¡±


    ¡°Ah! It can actually elerate at six times the speed of sound?¡± Everyone was dumbfounded.


    When everyone heard Wu Mo¡¯s words, they could not believe it.


    Wu MO had already asked them to speed up, but how could they possibly do so?


    Whoosh!


    On the screen, the light spots on the thermal detector did not disappoint.


    Its movement speed followed a certain pattern. Otherwise, it would be impossible to record such a fast thing!


    In the next moment, they saw that the spaceship was getting faster and faster, reaching seven to eight times the speed of light.


    ¡°I¡¯ve finally reached my limit.¡± Wu MO let out a heavy sigh.


    However, everyone was dumbfounded!


    One should know that this was a huge invisible spaceship flying at eight times the speed of sound!


    And everyone had a question in their hearts: Why did the stealth battleship have such a huge system?


    What was the meaning of this?


    However, they only suppressed these questions in their hearts and did not say anything.


    Because Wu MO was now fully focused on controlling the battleship.


    Therefore, no one bothered him.


    The supreme leader of Pirna saw this scene and his eyes lit up as he shouted. ¡°Hehehe! Just you wait. When I return, it will be your doom!¡±


    In the depths of the pitch-ck void, battleships were waiting for his arrival.


    Shockingly, it was his home!


    A few people flew directly to the Pirnaian leader and asked, ¡°Captain! Captain! Why hasn¡¯t there been any news?¡±


    The leader¡¯s eyes turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, ¡°Let¡¯s go home! We encountered too many idents this time. We need to n a counterattack!¡±


    ¡°Huh?! How could such a thing happen?¡±


    Many Pirnaians were shocked.


    They all understood that something must have happened, but now was not the time to exin in detail. They would talk about it when they returned to the sect!


    Therefore, under the escort of arge number of battleships, the Pirnaian leader¡¯s ship slowly flew toward his hometown.


    He had reached Pirna in just a few hours without Wu MO noticing.


    At this distance, the signal of the Divine Sword was getting weaker and weaker!


    Even so, it was not difficult for Luo Yuan to control the machine and issue a series ofmands.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, you have to be careful. Once someone sees you, they might destroy this battleship!¡±


    At this moment, everyone was worried.


    This was an aircraft made with high technology.


    Everyone knew that this was a very precious item and would not be destroyed so easily.


    Wu MO nodded. He was naturally clear about the seriousness of the matter!


    And now, he was controlling Sword of God to follow closely behind, and the distance between them was rapidly closing.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, I think they¡¯ve retreated. We¡¯ve apparently arrived on Pirna.¡±


    Everyone could not help but wonder.


    Pirna was right in front of them. If they continued to follow, they would be in big trouble!


    However, no one had expected Wu MO to be so crazy as to rush into the enemy¡¯s territory.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, why are you here? Our battleship will likely be destroyed!¡±


    One of the hot-tempered assistants immediately stood up and shouted.


    But at this moment, Wu MO hurriedly made a shushing gesture, telling him to shut up.


    At this time, the old chief came to check as usual, but when he saw the situation, he found it a little strange!


    Everyone fell silent and looked at the thermal imaging camera on the screen. There, a spaceship was flying at a strange angle toward an unknown.


    ¡°What is this?¡±


    The old chief¡¯s heart was filled with questions, but he did not interrupt.


    Everyone¡¯s attention was focused on this point, including Wu Mo. No one dared to make a sound.


    Now was the most important step. Whoever dared to interfere would be the public enemy of the entire human world!


    Pirna¡¯s battleships arrived one after another.


    A burly warrior walked down from the warship and looked at his hometown with a hint of emotion in his eyes.


    He thought about how hisrade had fallen in the battle just now.


    His eyes were filled with killing intent. He could not wait to lead his army and turn this world into his ve.


    Delightful!


    At this moment, no one noticed that a huge invisible spaceship was slowly approaching them. It hovered at an altitude of about two kilometers and followed them closely.


    ¡°Oh, my God. They actually came here?¡±


    ¡°Haha, wonderful! It¡¯s finally done!¡±


    At this moment, everyone in themand center could not help but let out a wild cheer.


    At this moment, everyone¡¯s nervousness had dissipated. Everyone was shouting excitedly.


    Even the old chief was excited.


    Because he discovered something, a huge invisible aircraft.


    It seemed to have tracked down the aircraft on Pirna.


    Then, he sessfully entered the¡¯s atmosphere.


    This scene was absolutely unprecedented!


    No one had expected to see such an incredible miracle!

 Chapter 730 - 730: Strange Experimental Modification

    Chapter 730 - 730: Strange Experimental Modification


    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion


    ¡°Wu MO, that¡¯s your new invention. This stealth battleship is really good stuff.


    Can you promote it?¡±


    The old chief pondered for a moment.


    Once this technology could be promoted, it would very likely mean that the entire Earth would have an additional stealth battleship unit!


    This was to protect their home and to explore space.<div>


    Wu Mo smiled. ¡°It¡¯s only a matter of time before I promote it. Although the cost of doing so is very high, I¡¯ll still work hard!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s great! Wu MO, I have faith in you. I¡¯ve always had faith in you!¡±


    The old chief gave Wu MO a strong pat on the shoulder, and everyone turned red with envy!


    One could imagine how talented he was for the old chief to be so fond of him.


    Aside from Wu MO, who else could gain his trust?


    Since the establishment of this n, there had never been such a problem.


    One could say that this n had thrown all problems to the back of their minds. Everyone had to prioritize Wu Mo.


    His performance and strength would always show everyone how wise it was for all sides to support his projects.


    The same applied to his suggestion to use the Divine Sword as a tracker and take the risk tond on this!


    ¡°Mr. Wu, should we take a look at this and see what exactly is on it?¡± an assistant said seriously.


    Wu MO nodded. ¡°Now that our spaceship hasnded, we naturally have to see what this world looks like!¡±


    Then, the Divine Sword began to slowly sail as he controlled it remotely. Through the images, everyone could clearly see a highly developed civilization on Pirna!


    Huge cities were gathered here. These cities were more than ten timesrger than the first-tier cities in China!


    In the sky above that area, there were high-speed trains everywhere. Every train was traveling faster than the speed of sound.


    At such a speed, even a hundred miles would only take an instant to cover!


    In this way, the work efficiency on this would be greatly improved.


    From his vision, the surface of Pirna seemed to be covered by ayer of faint golden light. He did not know what was going on.


    ¡°Very easy! Go forward a little more and don¡¯t let them see you!¡±


    Wu MO chuckled.


    In the end, everyone was stunned.


    They didn¡¯t expect Wu MO to be so bold as to fly the Divine Sword down. ¡°Don¡¯t! Mr. Wu, it¡¯s too dangerous at such a distance!¡±


    There was nothing they could do about it, because they could not understand what kind of technology it was!


    This time, they only saw the ship getting slower and slower. In the end, it fell to a height of more than eight hundred meters.


    At such a distance, the control signal was already very weak, but Wu MO was not anxious at all.


    He knew very well that no matter how weak the signal was, it could travel such a long distance, pass through Pirna¡¯s atmosphere, and be transmitted to the Divine Sword with great Drecision!


    At this moment, everyone clearly saw what the golden light was.


    Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned!


    ¡°Is that their source of energy?¡± someone asked.


    The golden light was actually strands of lightning drifting in the air.


    All in all, it was precisely because of this that all the facilities and equipment on Pirna, including the homes of the civilians, could be supplied with sufficient electricity.


    ¡°Oh, my God! Aren¡¯t they worried about the energy explosion?¡± one of them said worriedly.


    However, on second thought, they were only from a second-ss civilization. How could they usemon sense to figure it out?


    At this time, just as everyone was shocked by the various advanced technologies on Pirna, a shocking piece of news appeared!


    ¡°Did you see that?! What¡¯s going on?¡± Suddenly, someone pointed at a ce and shouted.


    There was a ck stronghold on Pirna.


    Arge number of Pirnaians were using a huge mechanical vehicle to slowly move a monster¡¯s body.


    Looking from here, the Divine Sword was blocked to a certain extent, and it was impossible to see the full appearance of the corpse.


    Thus, Wu MO tried to make the Divine Sword move slowly.


    Such a scene was a great challenge for everyone in the base!


    ¡°God, there¡¯s always the danger of being found at any time. Isn¡¯t Mr. Wu afraid?¡±


    Everyone couldn¡¯t help but look at Wu Mo¡¯s face.


    He saw that Wu MO was still as calm as ever, as if nothing was wrong.


    Everyone was speechless!


    They were all wondering how bold Wu MO was. After all, the current Divine Sword was at a very low altitude.


    In such an environment, the advanced civilization on Pirna could be discovered at any time!


    However, Wu MO did not seem to be afraid of this.


    The ship continued to descend until it was more than five hundred meters above the ground.


    The Pirnaians scanned the area with their probes again and again, but they didn¡¯t seem to notice it.


    The scene was too strange, and no one understood what was going on.


    But how could they understand what was so special about this top-notch battleship?


    As itnded on the ground, they had a clearer view.


    Right then, Wu MO saw the strange scene through the eyes of the Divine Sword!


    There was a huge monster on a table in aboratory.


    A few Pirnaians soon began to dissect it with various tools!


    Its body was cut into several pieces and then cut into several more pieces.


    In the blink of an eye, the monster waspletely dismembered!


    ¡°What are we doing? What¡¯s the purpose of this experiment?¡± one of the assistantsined.


    It was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with this inhumane behavior.


    However, Wu MO also knew that there must be a reason why the Pirnaians were doing this.


    ¡°Turn on the monitor and start the high-definition scanning mode!¡±


    When Wu MO said this, everyone was shocked.


    ¡°God, isn¡¯t this too exaggerated?¡±


    It was obvious that such an exploration method would definitely cost one¡¯s own safety in order to obtain a clearer picture.


    As expected, the moment the monitor was extended.


    They saw that the spaceship was flying aggressively toward a research base!


    This scene made everyone tremble with fear.


    They felt that Wu MO would pay a heavy price for his reckless actions sooner orter.


    Fortunately, as it closed in, they discovered that the Pirnaians were experimenting with the monster¡¯s corpse.


    Then, a huge device that looked like a furnace began to rumble¡­

 Chapter 731 - 731: A New Creation Made With Technology

    Chapter 731 - 731: A New Creation Made With Technology


    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The ck monitor clearly transmitted the sound that resembled a monster¡¯s roar.


    ¡®Oh, what is that? It looks like the Pirnaians are using it for biological experiments,¡¯ someone thought to himself.


    The next second, his answer came.


    The pitch-ck furnace slowly opened, and a creature that looked like a buffalo walked out!<div>


    Huff¡­


    The wild bull roared toward the sky.


    The skin on his entire body was extremely tough, and it emitted a pitch-ck shine.


    It slowly gazed out with its scarlet eyes and made everyone¡¯s hair stand on end! ¡°God, what a terrifying monster. What kind of monster is this?¡±


    Everyone was horrified. Its eyes were actually the same as those of a human.


    The wild bull immediately broke free from its restraints and ran out of theboratory!


    In the next second, it raised its hooves and leaped hundreds of meters high before itnded on the ground.


    Boom!


    With a loud bang, the ground cracked.


    ¡°Heavens! This¡­ How is this possible?¡±


    Wu Mo¡¯s eyes widened like copper bells. He could hardly believe what he was seeing.


    A huge wild bull managed to fly over a hundred meters with just a single leap!


    It was a mockery ofmon sense!


    ¡®Oh, my God. If we humans have this ability, wouldn¡¯t we be able to fly in the sky like superheroes?¡¯ he thought in shock.


    ording to his calctions, humans could even jump up to a thousand meters in the sky. They would really be those legendary heroes of legends.


    ¡°Could it be¡­ Are the Pirnaians trying to fuse with this strange creature? Or are they trying to inject their genes into it?¡±


    Various guesses emerged in Wu Mo¡¯s mind.


    Either way, it meant that the Pirnaians were conducting forbidden research that would shock the universe!


    If their research was sessful, it would spell a huge disaster for mankind.


    His assistant clenched his fists, and disdain shed in his eyes. His voice was filled with anger. ¡°Mr. Wu, we have to stop these crazy people. They¡¯re insane!¡±


    Indeed, every time he saw what the Pirnaians did, it always seemed like they were against the entire universe.


    Immediately after, a familiar yet hateful figure appeared within the Divine Sword¡¯s range of detection. It was the leader of Pirna!


    ¡°It¡¯s him! It¡¯s that b*stard!¡±


    Everyone remembered that the Pirnaian leader had sneakily escaped from battle. They had been worried about him.


    Now that they were seeing him again, everyone was on fire. They wanted to bring him to justice immediately!


    The leader seemed to be very satisfied with himself.


    He sneered and nced around.


    Then, he led a team of Pirnaian researchers into the huge research center¡­


    ¡°What about the pangolin sample?¡± the towering leader spoke calmly.


    His voice was soft, but it would not evade the Divine Sword¡¯s precise detectors. They captured each movement of his lips urately.


    High-tech spaceships like the Divine Sword naturally had the technology for this.


    Therefore, his voice was instantly transmitted to themand center in the distance.


    Seeing this, Wu MO and the rest of his research team understood Pirna¡¯s true intentions.


    ¡®That¡¯s definitely the sample of the pangolin we were tracking earlier!¡¯ Wu MO thought to himself.


    As expected, a piece of bright red flesh was ced on the operating table soon after.


    It had been taken from the pangolin¡¯s body.


    ¡°D*mn it! They¡¯ve seeded. Is it the legendary specimen of the Overlord ss?¡±


    An officer beside him clenched his fists tightly. His face filled with anger.


    He had personallymanded an operation before to stop the Pirnaian leader¡¯s ambitions.


    However, they failed in the end.


    The leader had fearlessly broken out of their encirclement and sessfully taken their target.


    It was a huge blow to humanity.


    They did not know how important the pangolin specimen was to the Pirnaian leader.


    ¡°It¡¯s just an ordinary sample. But are they nning to extract genes from it for gic modification experiments?¡± a biologist asked in surprise.


    Then, his heart dropped!


    Footage from the Divine Sword clearly showed that the piece of flesh was being dissected carefully.


    The gic liquid inside was then extracted and injected into another organism.


    Rumble!


    All of a sudden, a huge tremor seemed to shake the sky and crack the earth. It swept in all directions from the research center! The scene left everyone dumbstruck and incredulous.


    ¡°This isn¡¯t a movie set, is it?¡±


    Everyone exchanged looks in shock as they were in deep disbelief.


    All of this seemed to exceed their understanding of the real world.


    ¡°What kind of extraordinary creature is this for it to have such astonishing power?¡±


    Then, a humanoid monster in golden armor slowly appeared on the Divine Sword¡¯s screen.


    Its body shone with a dazzling light.


    The word ¡°king¡± was embedded on its forehead, and it was dominant like that of a mighty tiger.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    In an instant, it spread its arms, which turned into two sharp des.


    Seeing this, everyone¡¯s hearts beat faster, and fear, as well as shock, gripped their hearts.


    Even though it looked like a humanoid tiger, it was far more powerful than ordinary wild beasts.


    ¡°Is this a new type of creature created using gic technology? But it¡¯s too different from the pangolin we know!¡± A researcher could not help but sigh.


    Regr pangolins were already known as biological marvels, and the giant beast was only an erged version. It retained the same form but with just more needles on its body.


    However, this standing tiger was on apletely different level from the primitive pangolin.


    While everyone was confused, Wu MO slowly said, ¡°They¡¯ve used a wonderful technique. They extracted the potential genes from the pangolin and fused it with the genes of humans and tigers. The three genes have been perfectlybined.¡±


    Wu Mo¡¯s brows were tightly knitted, and his face was ashen.


    Everyone felt as if they had been hit by a heavy hammer when they heard his exnation. They were rendered speechless.


    Thebination of the three genes was enough to show how advanced the Pirnaians were in the field of biotechnology.


    Inparison, human research in this field was miniscule.


    It was far from beingparable.


    This also meant that once this technology was misused, the consequences would be immeasurable.


    It would likely cross some kind of line.


    However, Pirna did not care about the humans¡¯ moral code at all.


    They conducted all kinds of gene fusion experiments without restraint and explored the ultimate evolution andbination of organisms.


    Now, they had sessfully obtained a shocking result: Bybining the potential genes of an Overlord creature, the genes of a human, and the genes of a fierce tiger, they created a humanoid tiger in golden armor. ¡°Finally, victory is in sight.. My experiment is a sess!¡±

 Chapter 732 - 732: Why Don’t We Fuse Its Genes With Humans?

    Chapter 732 - 732: Why Don¡¯t We Fuse Its Genes With Humans?


    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion


    On the Divine Sword¡¯s screen, a tall Pirnaian in a white coat wasughing maniacally like a mad scientist.


    The humanoid tiger in golden armor slowly walked over; it was a unique gic secret.


    It bowed its head in salutation and spoke in anguage that was filled withplicated tones.


    The Divine Sword immediately tranted the message to Wu Mo.


    His eyes trembled violently because it was asking the leader of Pirna to attack the human.<div>


    ¡°That¡¯s great. Once your race has multiplied enough, the starry sky will be ours!¡±


    The leader of Pirna looked at the humanoid tiger with admiration and a smug smile.


    Everyone in the research center stood up as if they had been electrocuted.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, we have to take action. We can¡¯t let them make preparations to attack!¡± an officer shouted.


    How could they stand by and watch the enemy mobilize?


    Wu Mo¡¯s eyes revealed a firm light as he slowly said, ¡°We need to calm down. They¡¯re nning to just mass produce such monsters? It can¡¯t be that simple. Otherwise, wouldn¡¯t they already have an extraordinary army?¡±


    ¡°Mr. Wu, you know how advanced Pirna¡¯s technology is. They might have already replicated these monsters inrge numbers!¡±


    One of his assistants frowned. His voice was full of worry.


    Wu MO remained silent for a moment. Clearly, he had also considered this, but he had his own ns.


    If Pirna had truly created aplete monster army, then Wu MO had his own strategy too.


    ¡°If they¡¯re bold enough toe here, I¡¯ll give them a glimpse of what hell is,¡± he said coldly.


    ¡°In that case, why don¡¯t we considerbining their genes with human thoughts topletely master their abilities?¡± a young researcher suddenly suggested.


    Wu Mo¡¯s eyes shed with excitement. ¡°What a bold idea!¡±


    Although humans had the Biological Regeneration Agent and some basic abilities, they were still very weak.


    There was still a huge gap between them and extraterrestrials.


    An alien¡¯s mind was filled with different ways of thinking, and it even had arger brain capacity.


    If the fusion was sessful, mankind would usher in an unprecedented era of power.


    Feeling determined, Wu MO walked straight into the Institute of Special Biology.


    He began to carry out small-scale experiments.


    First, he extracted a gic sample from an alien and ced it in a test tube for careful observation.


    However, the result disappointed him. These genes were unusually stable, and they would not easilybine with human genes.


    Nevertheless, Wu MO had always been good at challenging difficulties.


    He decided to inactivate the genes before he attempted to imnt them into the human body.


    Even though such an attempt was full of unknown risks, he believed that only with risks would there be gains.


    What if the alien genespletely dominated the human body?


    If he were to be simr to a Pirnaian or Dark Starling, then Wu Mo¡¯s entire experiment would be wasted.


    More terrifyingly, he would be punished for this.


    ¡°Director Wu, it has been three hours. The volunteer¡¯s body is normal, and there are no abnormalities.¡±


    His assistant would report to him every once in a while.


    Wu MO nodded slowly. This was a good sign.


    They just needed to wait patiently for the results.


    After two days and two nights, the volunteer finally opened his eyes.


    His deep pupils seemed to be engraved with the vicissitudes of time.


    He dreamed that he was wandering in the vast universe and surrounded by darkness. He had lost his way and was not bound by gravity.


    ¡°You¡¯re awake. How do you feel?¡±


    Wu MO walked to the bedside, and his eyes filled with anticipation.


    This volunteer could be the first person to fuse with an alien. This was definitely a historic moment.


    The volunteer shook his head and replied in confusion, ¡°Director Wu, I think I had a strange dream. It was as if I had be an alien. I even felt like I could fly.¡±


    ¡°Fly?¡± Wu MO smiled and said teasingly, ¡°Then let¡¯s try and see if you can really fly.¡±


    The volunteer looked at him in disbelief and smiled. ¡°Director Wu, are you kidding me? How can humans fly?¡±


    Before he could finish his thought, he instinctively tried to jump off the bed.


    Unexpectedly, it was as if he was lifted by the wind, and his body flew straight to the ceiling.


    ¡°Ouch!¡±


    His head hit the ceiling before he fell like a meteorite. He sat on the ground and gasped in pain.


    In the depths of theboratory, the tall young man¡¯s face was filled with confusion.


    ¡°Mr. Wu MO, I¡­¡± What happened to me?¡±


    It was obvious that his heart was pounding. It was like a small boat that was hit by a storm, and it was difficult to stabilize.


    Wu MO looked at the test subject in front of him and smiled.


    As if he had seen the most precious treasure, his eyes shone with excitement. ¡°It¡¯s a sess!¡± he shouted and rejoiced.


    This meant that his gene fusion experiment had taken a crucial step.


    The test subject before him had apletely human mind.


    However, he already had the extraordinary jumping ability of the people of Pirna.


    ¡°You know what?¡±


    Wu MO approached the test subject with a deep gaze. ¡°You havepletely inherited the abilities of a Pirnaian. Your ability to jump is probably unparalleled in the world now.¡±


    The test subject had obviously not recovered from the shock just now. After hearing Wu Mo¡¯s words, the shock on his face turned into unconceble excitement.¡±


    ¡°You mean¡­ I can now jump as high as a Pirnaian?¡±


    ¡°Not only that.¡± Wu MO smiled slightly and tried his best to keep his tone calm.


    He did not want to put too much pressure on the test subject. ¡°You will possess abilities stronger than anyone else.¡±


    The test subject¡¯s eyes lit up as if it had found a new life goal. ¡°This is great! I want to participate in the Olympic high jump event and let the whole world know me!¡±


    Wu MO didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry at this sudden statement.


    ¡°You want to participate in the high jump just because you have superpowers?¡±


    ¡°But dreams are always good.¡±


    However, he knew that the next experiment was the real challenge.


    He nned to perfectly fuse the genes of the Dark Starlings and Pirnaians.


    It was injected into a soldier¡¯s body.


    This required an elite with extremely high physical fitness and a strong will.


    This was because not only did such a fusion require a strong body¡¯s endurance, but it also required a strong spiritual support.


    If he was not careful, the injected gene mightpletely control the host, turning him into aplete alien.


    A voice interrupted Wu Mo¡¯s thoughts.


    An assistant walked over. Behind him were ten young soldiers in military uniforms with outstanding auras.


    They were the volunteers for this experiment.


    In theboratory, the dim yellow light mixed with the transparent reagents. It gave off a mysterious and unnerving feeling..

    Wu MO stood on the high tform with his arms crossed. He looked at the people below with determination.


    ¡°The risk of this experiment is far beyond your imagination. Who¡¯s willing to be a volunteer for this historic moment? Before that, you need to understand this. If it fails, the alien genes may take over your mind and control you like a puppet.¡¯


    The warning rippled across the group like a stone falling into a calmke.


    The ten people present were troubled.


    With the unknown and dangerous nature of the experiment, even the best in the medical field could not guarantee that everything would turn out perfectly.<div>


    Hearing Wu Mot s words, their hearts clenched up. One by one, they all fell into a dilemma.


    Each of these ten young men had excellent physical fitness and tenacious willpower.


    However, such a high-risk experiment would naturally make one nervous.


    Who would want to be an alien puppet?


    Conversely, the sess of the experiment meant that they would possess unprecedented abilities. Between the considerations, people hesitated. Amidst the somber atmosphere, a young volunteer stepped forward.


    ¡°I¡¯m willing to take that risk, Mr. Wu Mo.¡±l want to volunteer.¡±


    Wu MO looked at the young man with determination and courage in his eyes.


    He nodded slightly and smiled approvingly. ¡°Very good. I hope your courage will be rewarded. Now, follow me.


    Theboratory door slowly opened. The equipment inside waspletely different from before.


    The ce had a futuristic feel, and every item was a top-notch research tool provided by the system.


    Wu Mo¡¯s every experiment was filled with uncertainty. Gic technology was riskier, but it was also full of opportunities.


    Ultimately, he had enough confidence in every tool there.


    The first step was to conduct aprehensive physical examination on the brave volunteer.


    It was to ensure that his physique could withstand the following experiment.


    Gics was a mysterious and profound field. Even Wu MO was not bold enough to im that he would achieve great results.


    The gene for fusion was about to be injected into the young man¡¯s body, and the atmosphere in theboratory instantly grew tense.


    Everyone¡¯s eyes were fixed on the experiment table at the center. It was as if they were afraid to miss anything.


    At this moment, time seemed to slow down, and every second felt extremely long.


    After the injection, something unexpected happened.


    The young man¡¯s skin instantly turned red, as though he was burning iron in a furnace. An indescribable heat spread through his body.


    ¡°This¡­ What¡¯s happening?¡±


    Someone shouted in astonishment, ¡°Is the experiment failing?!¡± His face was pale.


    Silence filled theboratory, but the atmosphere soon became tense again.


    Their hearts were in their throats as they held their breaths and stared ahead.


    The young man¡¯s body began to tremble as if he was suffering from some kind of unspeakable pain.


    The trembling seemed like a sign that things would not turn out well.


    One of the researchers was visibly worried. He looked at Wu MO, who was beside him, in confusion. ¡°Chief Engineer Wu, this is¡­ What¡¯s going on? Should we stop the experiment?¡±


    Wu MO did not panic. He shook his head calmly.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡± he said firmly. ¡°This is a normal reaction to gene fusion. He just needs some time to get used to it. Everyone, please wait for a moment.¡± The rest were still nervous when they heard this.


    Nevertheless, they suppressed their anxiety and hoped that the young man would be safe.


    About an hourter, the young man slowly opened his eyes. His gaze was filled with unprecedented brilliance.


    He tried hard to sit up, and Wu MO immediately asked with concern, ¡°How are you feeling?


    The young man seemed to be adjusting his state of mind.


    ¡°I feel good,¡± he said with a smile. ¡°It feels like my whole body is filled with endless power.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡± Wu MO smiled with satisfaction. ¡°We¡¯ll go to the training room right now and see how you do.¡±


    Then, the two of them arrived at a lively training room.


    Many students were undergoing intense training over there. They seemed to put all their strength into every strike and kick.


    There was a sandbag area, and students were trying to punch the sandbags to measure their strength.


    ¡°Are you ready to show your strength?¡±


    Wu Mo¡¯s eyes shone with anticipation.


    With that in mind, he was a little excited. Such a risky experiment was unprecedented!


    The young warrior took a deep breath and replied with a confident gaze,


    ¡°Please step back, Mr. Wu.¡±


    Wu MO nodded lightly and walked to the side as he locked his gaze on the warrior.


    The elite warrior began to run, and his every step was filled with powerful energy.


    Then, with his right hand, he struck the sandbag before him like lightning.


    Boom! The loud sound broke the silence in the training center, and even the ground seemed to shake.


    There was also a huge airflow from the impact point on the sandbag.


    ¡°Impossible!¡±


    Many of the training personnel watched in horror. They had never seen such a powerful punch.


    A fitness coach stared at the sandbag in front of him with his mouth agape. Right then, there were obvious cracks on the sandbag as if it would explode at any moment.


    He took a few steps forward and looked at the sandbag and Wu Mo. ¡°Mr. Wu, is he your trainee? The sandbag can take up to nine hundred kilograms of force!¡±


    Wu MO smiled with pride.¡±lt looks like after the gene fusion, hisbat strength has made a qualitative leap.¡±


    ¡°Unbelievable!¡±


    The fitness coach waspletely shocked. He could hardly find the right words to describe it.


    Wu MO did not stop. ¡°Well done. Next, let¡¯s see your reaction speed,¡± he said


    He then led the young man into a dark room.


    Countless traps had already been set up under the room¡¯s dim light. Once thesers were activated, these traps would quickly spring into action.


    The participant needed to be agile and have excellent judgment to avoid every trap.


    Only a true warrior could perform well in such a test.


    Wu MO looked on with full confidence and hope that this warrior would be able to set a new record.


    ¡°Chief Engineer Wu, I¡¯ve tried this test before. My highest record was the fourth stage, and I scored eight hundred points.¡±


    This soldier¡¯s calm voice carried a deep sense of confidence, and his eyes were filled with fighting spirit.


    He swore that he would surpass his past self..

    Wu Mo¡¯s pupils constricted as he revealed an encouraging smile.


    ¡°Remember that you are your greatest opponent. Show me your full strength. I believe you can do it!¡±


    After he finished speaking, he gave the warrior a gentle pat of encouragement.


    Then, he left the test area and stepped into the viewing area.


    There was a heated discussion in the training room.<div>


    <font <="" div="">


    Some people were still in shock after that punch.


    Others heard that the warrior was also going to take part in the dodging test. They all gathered in front of the big screen and waited for an exciting performance.


    ¡°Is that the guy who smashed the sandbag with one punch? Is he really going to challenge the dodging test?¡±


    Everyone discussed animatedly, and their eyes were focused on the screen. They wanted to find out what was going on.


    There were many top students and experienced coaches among them.


    Although they had outstanding strength, they could never smash that sandbag with a single punch.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, you¡¯re here!¡±


    Many people spotted Wu MO there. They all bowed and greeted him respectfully.


    He was no ordinary person.


    Wu MO was a true legend who had started the space civilization era.


    He nodded lightly, but his attention was quickly drawn to the image on the screen. He was ready to witness the warrior¡¯s performance.


    The mechanisms in the test area began to operate, and several obstacles were activated.


    Even though the initial stage of the obstacle was not particrly fast, it was already challenging for ordinary warriors.


    Yet, this warrior seemed to be at ease. He relied on his agility to easily dodge one attack after another.


    As time passed, the difficulty of the challenge began to increase. Wooden poles and metal rods spun rapidly from all directions, and the obstacle changed rapidly.


    However, the warrior remained steady.


    His score gradually rose and soon surpassed five hundred points.


    Wu Mo¡¯s eyes shone with anticipation as he watched the score continue to rise.


    ¡°He¡¯s getting close. He¡¯s about to break his record!¡±


    He could not exin the reason for his nervousness.


    Was he looking forward to the results of his experiments, or was he nervous about the danger that the warrior was facing?


    The attacks from the equipment gradually grew violent, and the warrior¡¯s every movement seemed extremely critical.


    There were a few times when it looked like he would be hit.


    However, he managed to dodge these fatal blows each time.


    His score of eight hundred points was the same as his previous record.


    However, this was not the end. His score kept increasing to nine hundred points.


    The warrior¡¯s eyes shone with confidence and anticipation.


    He knew that he had surpassed his previous self, but he was not satisfied.


    Every dodge and teleportation disyed his outstanding strength after the elite transformation.


    The audience before the screen gasped in amazement. Their eyes were locked on this exciting moment.


    ¡°Is this Mr. Wu¡¯s disciple?!¡± they eximed. ¡°Such terrifying strength is beyond our imagination!¡±


    ¡°A thousand points? This¡­ This is unbelievable!¡± someone shouted in a trembling voice.


    Wu Mo¡¯s gaze was intense, and he did not say a word.


    However, the anticipation in his eyes was enough to exin everything.


    As expected, the warrior did not disappoint him.


    As time passed, he shuttled through the obstacles like the wind, and his speed reached its peak.


    His score gradually soared, 1,200, 1,300, 1,500 points. It left the audience dumbfounded, especially when it reached 1,500 points.


    The ever-changing warrior seemed to be elusive. He was moving so fast that it was dazzling.


    However, the warrior remained calm and unfazed.


    His figure was like a ghost, and every movement was like a perfect dance. The people gasped in amazement.


    ¡°This speed¡­ It¡¯s simply extraordinary. If I were him, I would have fainted long ago!¡±


    A trainer next to Wu MO gulped in shock. He could sense the gap between him and the outstanding warrior.


    The number on the score te had already jumped to two thousand points. The high-speed rotating chamber seemed to go crazy. It was difficult for anyone to catch what was happening.


    He thought to himself, ¡®Maybe this is his limit?¡¯


    However, the genes in the warrior¡¯s body reached their critical point of maturity at this moment.


    His body seemed to experience a wonderful turn as if he had entered some kind of mysterious realm.


    ¡°Impossible!¡± Wu MO cried out in shock, and the surrounding people were taken aback by his exmation.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with Mr. Wu? Has something unbelievable happened?¡±


    Right then, the gically-modified warrior¡¯s body seemed to be isted from the world.


    His dodging skills in the chamber had been like a beautiful dance. Surprisingly, his movements gradually slowed down as if forming a sharp contrast with the madness of the test equipment.


    Every subtle turn seemed extremely intentional, as though everything was under his control.


    This was definitely not an ordinary ability.


    His observation, judgment, and reflexes had reached a shocking level.


    Only those who had truly surpassed the speed of a mortal could do this!


    ¡°A true gically-modified warrior¡­ This is beyond my imagination!¡± Wu MO muttered to himself in shock.


    It was as if he couldn¡¯t find more appropriate words to describe his feelings.


    The warrior¡¯s score quickly jumped to three thousand points.


    The shocking number sent the entire training base into an uproar. Discussions rose and fell throughout the facility.


    ¡°Impossible! Three thousand points¡­ He¡¯s a monster! That¡¯s a perfect score!¡± ¡°You¡¯re right. The maximum is three thousand points. Is he trying to challenge ¡°If I flew in, I would be thrown out instantly!¡±


    Many of the trainers sighed at their inferiority before the warrior.


    Even senior coaches could only touch the threshold of two thousand points.


    These three thousand points were like a peak that could never be reached. It hung high in everyone¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°No way! It¡¯s risen to 3,500 points!¡± one of them shouted in disbelief.


    The increase in the warrior¡¯s speed meant that his score would soar.


    In an instant, the value jumped by 500 points and stopped at 3,500 points.


    To their shock, the soldier seemed to have energy left, and his body was still elerating rapidly.


    ¡°This-This is insane! Where is his limit?¡±


    The crowd whispered among themselves.


    Soon, his score jumped again and reached four thousand points.


    For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire base froze.


    ¡°Four thousand points! I¡­ Am I seeing things?¡±


    The coaches¡¯ faces turned pale, and they instantly felt a huge blow.


    As the coaches who trained many warriors, their self-esteem was seriously challenged.


    ¡°Can someone tell me what is going on?¡±


    A coach shook his head and walked out of the base as if he was looking for a ce to calm down.


    Wu MO took a deep breath, but his eyes were filled with disbelief and anticipation.


    He did not expect the effect of the gene injection to be so shocking.


    This warrior had not only inherited the Pirnaians¡¯ supreme talent, but he had even surpassed them to a certain extent!</font>

    ¡°Looks like four thousand points is the limit.¡±


    Seeing that the warrior was finally hit by the challenge, everyone cheered for his performance.


    But in fact, it wasn¡¯t that he couldn¡¯t react in time.


    It was because the rule of this stage was to release everything in an instant and not give the participants a chance to dodge.


    ¡°Mr. Wu.¡± the soldier said with a smile. ¡°I only got four thousand points. I¡¯m sorry to disappoint you.¡±<div>


    <font <="" div="">


    ¡°Brother,¡± the crowd burst into an uproar. ¡°You think four thousand points aren¡¯t enough? Are you trying to drive us crazy?¡±


    Everyone¡¯s eyes were filled with shock and helplessness.


    Wu MO walked up to him and patted his shoulder gently. But it seems that you need a stronger ability to reach your limits.¡±


    His words were filled with admiration and anticipation.


    Wu MO began to n his next step in his mind. Then, he brought this outstanding soldier to a mysteriousboratory.


    When Xu Wanqing received the news, she quickly came over.


    Looking at the advanced equipment and potions in front of him, a trace of anticipation shed across his eyes.


    Wu MO picked out a biological regeneration capsule with the same attributes as him.


    That was the door to molecr biology!


    This was definitely one of Wu Mot s proudest techniques. It could easily break down any substance and recreate its attributes.


    Its power even surpassed ordinary abilities.


    If one were to imagine the battlefield in outer space, this ability would be invincible!


    The soldier¡¯s eyes shed. He was especially excited about obtaining this ability.


    He took a deep breath, and his tears fell in an expression of his determination.


    In the former military camp, he was just an ordinary soldier and rarely became the focus of attention.


    But now, he had obtained an unprecedented amount of energy.


    His body had almost broken through the limits of a human, and his strength and speed had soared to terrifying heights.


    How could he not feel excited and his heart beat faster with such a special ability?


    Wu MO looked at him and said softly,¡± Rx. The surgery will be quick. You¡¯ll be able to feel your new strength soon.¡±


    His tone was calm and gentle as if to ease the soldier¡¯s nervousness.


    The soldier nodded slightly.


    Perhaps it was because he had inherited the abilities of the Pirnaians.


    Even during the surgery, his expression did not change and he did not feel any pain.


    Time passed very quickly, and the surgery waspleted very quickly.


    Next was a 24-hour observation period.


    At that time, they would be able to confirm whether he had really inherited the heaven-defying ability of the biological regeneration capsule.


    At this moment.


    Wu MO was urgently informed to check thetest images of Pirna on the Divine Sword.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, the situation is not good! More ability monsters have appeared. Our safety is in danger!¡±


    The assistant rushed in in a panic.


    Before Wu MO could see the scene on the screen, he could feel the tense atmosphere around him.


    When he focused his eyes, his heart couldn¡¯t help but tremble.


    The camera on the Divine Sword captured a scene that made one¡¯s heart beat faster.


    Monsters of all shapes and sizes emerged from the ground.


    Some of them had hideous faces, while others had huge bodies. All of them walked upright.


    What was even more shocking was that their eyes emitted a hair-raising light.


    The monsters roared furiously as if they were venting their anger.


    Over at the side, the Pirnaians were calmly recording all kinds of data about these monsters.


    Suddenly, the leader of Pirnamented.


    Through the high-tech trantion system of the Divine Sword, Wu MO heard it.


    ¡°These are all good, but we still need a primitive Overlord.¡±


    ¡°Overlord-ss monster?!¡±


    The Pirnaians want to develop Overlords?


    Was it just a pangolin?


    Even the powerful pangolin was only a creature covered in sharp thorns.


    Even such a creature would not be able to escape death when faced with the sma st.


    Then, what was the Overlord?


    What gave these overlord species the ability to conquer the starry sky?


    Just as Wu MO was still in shock.


    A huge figure slowly walked out of the research base.


    This caused rm bells to ring in Wu Mo¡¯s heart again. He knew that the situation hadpletely exceeded his expectations.


    This overlord species did not resemble the pangolin from before. It was almostpletely created in human form, but its height was five meters, which far exceeded that of a human.


    What was even more shocking was that its body was wrapped in golden armor.


    The square-shaped eyes emitted a terrifying energy light.


    When it moved, it was like a huge mecha.


    The metal armor on his body made a slight collision sound.


    Its entire body emitted a cold golden and ck luster, like the bony fingers of the Grim Reaper. It made one¡¯s hair stand on end.


    ¡°So this is the true appearance of an Overlord¡­Was the pangolin just an illusion?¡±


    Wu MO muttered to himself in shock.


    Everyone present was shocked by this type of Overlord. They were all dumbfounded.


    If such an existencended on a human, it would definitely be a destructive force.


    ¡°Show me your power!¡± the leader of Pirna ordered. It was immediately tranted.


    Several ck cannon turrets were neatly arranged before the Overlord.


    They were more powerful than ordinary cannons.


    There were also a few heavy shields ced in front of them, each of which was like a sturdy city wall.


    His mission was to shatter the thick shields of the Overlord species before him.


    At the same time, it could avoid the cannons from attacking it.


    Observing this scene, Wu MO instantly recalled the scene from before.


    At that time, he was leading the soldiers in the training room to test their strength and reaction speed.


    And now, this overlord species seemed to be facing a simr challenge?


    Suddenly, a crazy idea came to Wu Mo¡¯s mind.


    ¡± Could it be that the gic samples I obtained are the source of this overlord species?¡±


    The feeling of his heart racing caused Wu Mo t s thoughts to spin rapidly.


    If that was really the case¡­


    In that case, he might be able to consider using such a powerful gene for mass replication.


    This would undoubtedly open an unprecedented door for the future battlefield!


    Without hesitation, Wu MO immediately instructed his assistant to preserve the gene samples and prepare for mass production.


    If they seeded, the bodies of the warriors would reach an unprecedented level of strength, with a strength of at least nine hundred kilograms.


    Not to mention, they would have terrifying reaction speed.


    However, at this moment, a deafening explosion suddenly sounded from the screen.


    Boom!


    The cannons disyed on the big screen fired at the same time. Each me was like a shooting star falling toward the ground in an unstoppable manner.


    However, the Overlord-ss creature suddenly moved, and its every movement was shocking.


    It easily avoided the ¡°shooting stars¡± in the air like a phantom.


    Then, blood-red rays shot out of the Overlord¡¯s eyes.


    Its two arms instantly turned into sharp des that shed at the shields..</font>

    Kacha! Kacha!


    Even the seemingly indestructible shields failed to hold up against the Overlord¡¯s de. They instantly split into two.


    ¡°This-This is unbelievable!¡±


    Wu Mo¡¯s assistants were dumbfounded. It was as if they had seen a scene that was unbelievable even by science fiction standards!


    The Overlord-ss creature promptly extended its arm in a simple downward motion.<div>


    <font <="" div="">


    That was all it took to shatter a shield into pieces. Did they miss anything?


    Everyone in the arena revealed an astonished expression.


    It was as if they had seen something unbelievable.


    However, Wu Mo¡¯s eyes were sharper, and he spotted something.


    As the creature moved, it seemed to shoot out an undetectable ray of light.


    It resembled an extremely sharp knife that cut through the shield!


    Immediately after, the sound of artillery fire shook the heavens and the earth.


    It was even more intense than before.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    On top of that, cannons rained down fiercely.


    They could be fired almost once every second, so the entire space was filled


    with explosions and mes.


    More than a dozen cannons formed a violent ring of fire as they were unleashed into the air.


    However, the Overlord-ss creature dodged them at lightning speed.


    It was unharmed in the dense rain of fire.


    Soon, it counterattacked and easily destroyed the cannons.


    ¡°Hahaha. This creature has strong meleebat skills. Their primitive mech army will probably be helpless against it!¡± Pirna¡¯s leaderughed in delight.


    Through his words, Wu MO understood why the Pirnaians wanted to create more Overlord creatures.


    Were they trying to fight his previous mech army?


    ¡°Mr. Wu, it looks like your mech army left a deep impression on them. Haha¡­¡± someone joked.


    The research center was filled withughter.


    The humans¡¯ mech army was indeed extraordinary.


    This was especially true for the small mech that Wu MO had createdter on. Although it was small, it was agile and its attack power could not be underestimated.


    Wu MO smiled slightly. That¡¯s right, this creature was here to fight against mechs?


    However, he knew in his heart that the mech he created still had many secret weapons.


    Did these guys really think that they could defeat the mech so easily?


    The rise of the overlord had be a huge threat.


    If the mech army were to let down their guard, they would definitely miss the opportunity and encounter an unprecedented enemy.


    Facing the fierce battle between the two armies, even if the mech army won this battle in space, it would still be a huge loss.


    But if more than half of them died, what was the point of victory?


    The Institute of Special Biology called and pulled Wu MO back to his senses.


    ¡°Chief Engineer Wu, that gically-modified warrior has woken up. His condition is surprisingly good!¡±


    The voice on the other end of the phone sounded nervous and excited.


    Without hesitation, Wu MO rushed to the Institute of Special Biology. When he entered theboratory, he saw the gically-modified warrior sitting up straight.


    He looked for his own state with a determined gaze.


    Then, he began to carefully test his special ability.


    The soldier¡¯s eyes were filled with nervousness and anticipation. Can I do it?¡± He chanted in his heart, and ayer of cold sweat seeped out of his palms.


    He took a deep breath and covered an ordinary water bottle with his palm.


    Previously, he had seen Wu MOpletely dpose the liquid in the bottle like this.


    Then, a magical scene appeared!


    The warrior¡¯s palm was gradually heating up, and he could clearly feel the warmthing from his palm.


    The water in the bottle seemed to be attracted by a mysterious force.


    Gradually, the water level began to drop, and finally, there was only air left in the bottle.


    ¡°Could it be¡­ I¡­ I really did it?¡±


    The warrior¡¯s eyes were filled with disbelief.


    In the research institute, the surrounding researchers apuded him.


    Xu Wanqing was smiling like a blooming flower.


    At this moment, Wu MO had also arrived. His gaze was locked onto the empty water bottle.


    ¡°You¡¯ve mastered this ability?¡± he asked nervously.


    The soldier looked at Wu MO and smiled confidently. ¡°Chief Engineer Wu, there was a bottle of water here just now.¡±


    Wu MO gently patted his shoulder, his eyes filled with relief.


    This was the power they had been pursuing.


    Wu MO looked at the Warrior in front of him and praised him. ¡°It seems that you are now our trump card. However, your mission is more important. You have to pass on this ability and experience to other Warriors. Do you understand what I mean?¡±


    The soldier¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. However, my current state was achieved through a special gicbination. How could they have reached such a height?¡±


    Wu MO smiled and waved his hand. ¡°You¡¯ve misunderstood. I¡¯m not asking them to reach your state. I just hope that you can teach them yourbat experience so that they can improve their reaction speed andbat awareness.¡±


    Wu Mo¡¯s n was very clear.


    However, at this critical moment, even if every soldier could not be a super soldier.


    At the very least, it could increase theirbat awareness and reaction speed.


    The current situation was tense.


    Pirna¡¯s Overlord-ss creatures were increasing rapidly, and Wu MO could not sit still and wait for death.


    He knew that once the enemy¡¯s army had truly formed arge scale, he would be able to defeat them.


    Earth would then face an unprecedented crisis.


    ¡°Speed. Everything is for speed!¡±


    Wu MO muttered in his heart. He had already given the order to increase Earth¡¯sbat strength at all costs.


    Whether it was mechs, spaceships, or ordinary people, everyone had to participate in this war.


    He knew very well that on the interster battlefield.


    It was never just long-range weapons that determined the oue of the battle.


    When both parties engaged in closebat, it was a true purgatory of blood and fire.


    At this moment, an assistant rushed in with a pale face.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, our investigation shows that the number of Overlords on Pirna has increased to more than ten. Their momentum is too strong!¡±


    Wu MO looked ahead coldly.


    Every overlord was an independent army.


    Even if it was just the color of the paint.


    A dozen overlords stood in unison.


    This strong aura was chilling.


    For a moment, the uneasiness in the assistants ¡®hearts surged like a tide.


    As the officers walked in one after another, the shock in their eyes almost materialized.


    When they witnessed the true might of the overlord species, the entire room seemed to be filled with oppressive silence.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, we must take decisive action to eliminate such a powerful enemy.


    Otherwise, our homnd may face an unprecedented disaster.¡±


    The officer¡¯s voice trembled, but he firmly expressed his concern.


    At this moment, a series of phone rings broke the tense atmosphere.


    It was the old chief.


    Hearing the first sentence of the phone call, Wu MO felt as if he had been electrocuted, and his entire body stiffened.


    As the core of the military, the old general was now mainly responsible for the handover of interster affairs.


    This was especially true between Eternal Sun and Earth.


    When he heard the old chief¡¯s heavy words, Wu Mo¡¯s instincts told him that something major had happened on Eternal Sun..</font>

    ¡°Wu MO, tworge bases on Eternal Sun suddenly exploded.¡± The old chief¡¯s voice was filled with pain. I suspect that they are secretly developing some kind of lethal weapon.¡±


    ¡°The two kingdoms on Eternal Sun have ill intentions. It¡¯s very likely that they want to take advantage of the situation at this critical moment,¡± Wu MO said coldly with a frown.


    ¡°Then, Wu MO, the dome device you mentioned¡­¡±


    Before the old chief could finish his words, Wu MO already understood what he meant.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Chief. If they dare to betray us, I have my ways.¡±<div>


    <font <="" div="">


    Wu Mo¡¯s words were filled with determination, as if he already had a n.


    There was a trace of relief in his eyes when the old chief heard this. He knew that Wu MO had made up his mind.


    ¡°Wu MO, you really made me look at you in a different light this time!¡±


    When the old chief heard this news, a look of admiration shed across his face. He could not hide the joy in his heart.


    He reported the exact coordinates of the two countries ¡®dome devices word by word.


    He paused for a moment, as if he had made a decision.


    ¡°Wu MO, let us know before you do it.¡± We¡¯ll talk to them first. However, if they still refuse toe to their senses, then you can use your own method to resolve it.¡±


    ¡® Don¡¯t worry, Old Chief. I¡¯ll be here at any time. I guarantee that the mission will bepleted.¡±


    Wu MO smiled, his eyes shining with confidence.


    Looking at the attitude of these two countries, it seemed that they were very stubborn about their own views.


    The dome was the best lesson for them.


    Wu MO knew very well that in order to intimidate other countries with disloyalty.


    Sacrificing two chips was definitely worth it.


    However, the development of the matter was beyond Wu Mo¡¯s expectations.


    ¡°Wu MO, they actually said that once your dome is built, it can¡¯t be changed!¡± The old chief¡¯s message carried a hint of mockery and dissatisfaction.


    Hearing this, Wu MO chuckled. ¡°Is this the conclusion of their so-called ¡®experts?¡±¡®


    The assistants around them could not help butugh as if they had heard something very interesting.


    Because they all knew that this device actually had great flexibility.


    Wu MO had already proven this point.


    However, every transformation required a price.


    Wu MO didn¡¯t mind paying for the current situation.


    ¡°Wu MO, the rest is up to you.¡± The old chief took a deep breath.


    This time, China had already tolerated enough.


    The protection and generosity that he had shown before had all turned pale and powerless.


    China¡¯s base would no longer be pushed around by anyone.


    With the trump card of the dome, who would dare to underestimate them?


    Under everyone¡¯s watchful eye, Eternal Sun¡¯s base suddenly underwent a huge change.


    They widened their eyes as the wind and crane trembled.


    Everyone seemed to be rooted to the ground as they raised their heads.


    They could not help but gasp!


    The dome shook crazily like a dragon that had been triggered.


    The leaders of the world stared at the screen in front of them and tried to figure out what was happening.


    In just a few short moments, one after another, their faces turned pale. Their fear was overflowing as if they had seen the end of the world.


    ¡°How is this possible?¡±


    Amidst the shock, the canopy device actually began to distort!


    ¡°Wait. Why do I remember Mr. Wu saying that this device can¡¯t be moved?¡± the leader of a certain country asked in confusion. His voice was filled with disbelief.


    However, reality was cruel. The dome device seemed to be controlled by a demon hand as it quickly shrank and adjusted its coverage.


    In the blink of an eye, everyone instantly understood that the dome device had clearly withdrawn from the airspace of the two countries. From then on, the two countries lost their protective treasures.


    ¡°Heavens, they actually dare!¡±


    The representatives of the two countries were furious, as if they wanted to spit fire at China.


    ¡°China, you¡¯re pushing us too far!¡±


    The public provocation caused the internal members of theary Alliance to be furious, and some people even started the negotiation process at lightning speed.


    However, China did not seem to care about their anger and protests.


    The dome device continued to operate and finally returned to its stable state.


    It was as if an Overlord had driven two unruly people out of his kingdom, causing the surrounding countries to be terrified.


    The clear warning made all the countries retreat in fear of this powerful force.


    In themand center, Wu MO heard the news and a smirk appeared on his face.


    ¡°Hmph. Now you want to apologize? It¡¯s toote!¡±


    Wu Mo would never let go of those countries that had betrayed him.


    He deeply remembered the pain of that traitor exposing the¡¯s base, which almost made China¡¯s efforts go to waste.


    Faced with such a situation, Wu MO would never show them any mercy!


    This was an ancient precept¡ªbeing merciful to the enemy was being cruel to oneself.


    How could Wu MO make such a childish mistake?


    However, at this moment, Wu Mot s figure had already disappeared into the base.


    He was having a private conversation with the old chief.


    ¡°Wu MO, are you trying to make a big show of China¡¯s cutting-edge aerospace technology?¡±


    When the old chief heard this, he revealed a trace of shock.


    Wu Mo¡¯s mind was sharp as a knife. He wanted topletely reveal China¡¯s current leading spaceship technology to the world and show its might.


    The enemies hiding in the dark would no longer dare to underestimate China and stir up trouble behind their backs.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, Old Chief. I believe that this is the only way we can cut off the delusions of those who harbor ill intentions. Otherwise, they will always be ying tricks in the dark, and we will always be on guard against them,¡± Wu MO spoke bluntly and reveled his worries.


    The old chief was silent for a moment. Finally, he nodded in approval. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll support you. I¡¯ll leave everything at the base to you. I¡¯ll follow to your arrangements.¡±


    Wu MO felt a surge of warmth in his heart when he saw the old chief¡¯s full support.


    Not long after, a grand demonstration that shocked everyone was held.


    As time passed, China had not shown such a thing for a long time.


    The moment the news was released, countless hearts trembled.


    They all knew that China was about to broadcast live to the world to show off their unparalleled strength!


    On that day, the live broadcast was opened by the majority ofizens.


    Because there was some kind of link between China¡¯s pharmaceutical tform and the live broadcast room.


    Many curious people jumped over to see what was hidden at this grand asion.


    The first image they saw was a vast expanse that was filled with mysterious bases.


    Everyone was shocked to witness such majesty and power.


    ¡°Look. What¡¯s going on in China? This looks a little unusual!¡± Everyone¡¯s eyes focused on him as they frowned.


    It was obvious that the atmosphere was tense, especially since the representatives of the two countries had just been expelled from the dome.


    Their expressions were dark, and their anger was obvious.


    No matter what actions China¡¯s base took, they would always have a petty attitude..</font>

    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion


    ¡°Hmph. Is China trying to show off their construction skills? So what if their builds are superb? How can they prosper if they¡¯re sinister?¡±


    ¡°True. The Chinese always think that they rule the universe. It¡¯s like theary Alliance is a store owned by their family!¡±


    However, such discussions seemed a little isted because most people were still neutral.


    In addition, many, including a foreign audience, were also in awe of China¡¯s advanced technology.


    There were even people who were inspired.<div>


    <font <="" div="">


    Their eyes returned to the live broadcast, and a shocking scene slowly unfolded.


    The first thing he saw was a huge spaceship base.


    Then, a uniquely shaped spaceship materialized and rushed into the sky.


    ¡°Heavens! Is this a new spaceship developed by China? I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve ever seen anything like it before!¡± a military enthusiast eximed.


    In fact, China would publish a magazine every year, which recorded all their new spaceships in detail.


    However, the magazine was not widely circted.


    Only true military enthusiasts would be familiar with it.


    The design of the current spaceship showcased China¡¯s unique aesthetic.


    It was of a moderate size, but its design was sleek. It looked dignified and elegant like a dancer.


    Then, ten spaceships appeared one after another.


    They were of a strange shape but extremely fast. Everyone¡¯s eyes lit up.


    Then, the spaceships instantly disappeared into the night sky.


    ¡°Have¡­ Have they be invisible? Why are they so fast that no one can keep up with them? They disappeared before our eyes.¡±


    Many military enthusiasts were surprised and doubtful.


    Normal stealth technology only made a spaceship invisible on radar. It would still be seen by the naked eye.


    However, this was obviously different. The spaceship was invisible in the real world too.


    The live broadcast was making waves.


    Almost everyone, from the upper echelons of theary Alliance to the general public, was concerned.


    Wu MO stood with a smug smile on his face.


    He was satisfied because this was exactly the effect he wanted. He wanted to showcase China¡¯s strength and make sure everyone remembered it.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, our fleet is about to arrive. Our performance will shock everyone,¡± the officer said excitedly.


    ¡°Alright.¡± Wu MO did not say much. He nodded lightly and made a decision.


    ¡°Prepare to show our trump cards.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Mr. Wii.¡±


    Then, the gate of the base slowly opened like the doorway to hell.


    Spaceships rushed out of the door like wasps leaving their nests.


    When thest hundred spaceships flew into the sky.


    The scene was spectacr to the extreme.


    These spaceships weren¡¯t part of an ordinary team but an elite squad from the


    Invincible Space Team.


    This fleet formed a huge cloud in the sky that moved slowly.


    Everyone was shocked speechless.


    Time seemed to stop. When the spaceships gradually disappeared from everyone¡¯s sight, there was an explosion ofments under the live stream online.


    ¡°China, what¡¯s the meaning of this? Are you just trying to show off your strength?¡± someone remarked sharply.


    Thement instantly triggered a heated discussion among the audience.


    Some people doubted China¡¯s intentions, while others expressed their admiration for the country¡¯s strength.


    However, they were more surprised and puzzled.


    China¡¯s actions were clearly unexpected.


    They did it purely for show and entertainment. They had no other intentions.


    Despite all the chatter, China chose to remain silent and did not make anyments.


    Sometimes, silence was the best way to dispel misunderstandings.


    Wu MO sat alone in the mainmand room as he stared deeply at the screen before him.


    The spaceships above were flying freely, and he was happy and satisfied to see them.


    ¡°It¡¯s time for the Fleeting Ghost to show its true power,¡± Wu MO mumbled.


    They lined up neatly in a row and slowly approached from the distant sky.


    For a moment, everyone¡¯s attention was drawn to them.


    The air seemed to freeze, and all breathing stopped.


    The spaceships had a unique shape like bats in the night, and their bodies emitted a strange light.


    It looked as if they had devilish eyes that could see through everything.


    ¡°Are those the legendary Fleeting Ghosts?¡±


    A veteran military enthusiast took out a magazine, and there was an image that clearly depicted the spaceship.


    ¡°Its speed and flexibility are said to be unmatched. Traditional airnes can¡¯t evenpare!¡±


    There was amotion in the crowd. Many people now understood that these were the legendary Fleeting Ghosts.


    Under Wu MO¡¯s precisemand, the main ship of the Divine Wind Squad slowly flew out.


    At this moment, an officer quickly walked forward with a worried expression.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, the Divine Wind Squad is currently on a mission. The stability of Dark Star depends on it. If we reveal it to the public, I¡¯m afraid the world will know our secret.¡±


    Wu MO was unmoved, and he slowly shook his head. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. It¡¯s just a performance. The world won¡¯t discover all the secrets of the Divine Wind


    Squad.¡±


    The officer finally had some confidence.


    He immediately gave the order to summon the Divine Wind Squad¡¯s ship to the scene.


    Following his order, the entire sky was upied by a huge vessel.


    The spaceship soared like a giant bird and left the audience below awestruck.


    ¡°This¡­ This is definitely not an ordinary spaceship!¡± Someone pointed at the sky with a trembling finger and muttered in disbelief.


    The experts who studied the military were all pale.


    All of them stared at the Divine Wind Squad that was slowly flying toward them.


    It was as if he had seen the omen of some kind of disaster.


    Every detail of the spaceships revealed a wild dominance. All who were present could sense it.


    The audience watching the live stream was speechless too.


    When the Divine Wind Squad truly flew past them, a wave of screams rose and fell.


    ¡°Unbelievable, is this the legendary Divine Wind Squad? Why does it feel like I¡¯m watching a sci-fi blockbuster?¡±


    ¡°Why would China reveal its trump card? Is there a deeper meaning to this?¡±


    ¡°Does it matter? Don¡¯t forget that only China can control such power. Others can only afford to be jealous!¡±


    The onlinemunity was in a heated discussion.


    Everyone was trying to remember every detail of the Divine Wind Squad.


    They knew that this was definitely mankind¡¯s strongest armed force at present. Following the Divine Wind Squad¡¯s arrival, the other logistics spaceships began to appear one by one.


    However,pared to the shock before, they seemed a little dull.


    After all, these spaceships were more practical than shy..</font>

    After the incredible demonstration, Wu MO sneered.


    His gaze pierced through the gxy as he observed the turmoil and silence within the entireary Alliance.


    As expected, his strategy was as sessful as ever.


    The demonstration seemed to suppress the conflict within theary Alliance.


    No one dared to mock China because they knew that it was tantamount to courting death.<div>


    <font <="" div="">


    Then, two officers walked over quickly and saluted Wu Mo.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, the results of the demonstration have exceeded our expectations. What should we do next?¡± one of them asked sincerely.


    The power of unity was now more important than ever, especially for those on Eternal Sun. They were fighting for the protection of China.


    Wu MO knew that the deterrence from a demonstration alone was not enough to unite people for a long time.


    The situation on Dark Star had also beplicated. The residents there had gradually taken control of the.


    Although most of the Dark Starlings were still going about their daily lives, a few restless individuals would always encourage others to resist.


    Wu MO¡¯s head ached.


    He could not use excessive force.


    If they usedrge-scale weapons against Dark Star without thinking, they would be able to destroy the.


    However, that would only result in a wastnd.


    He had to find another way, like the big demonstration: A method that could truly intimidate the Dark Starlings.


    Wu MO pondered for a moment, and his deep eyes revealed confusion.


    The people on the research base made various suggestions, but none of them seemed to hit the nail on the head.


    For one, the Dark Starlings were fearless and brave inparison to humans.


    Even death could not easily scare them.


    They were more physically fit than humans, and the disy of human muscles alone was not enough to deter them.


    ¡°How can we make these fearless creatures fear us?¡±


    Wu MO stroked his chin as he was deep in thought.


    There had not been anyrge-scale conflict on Dark Star so far.


    Hence, it was indeed possible for humans to show their strength to gain the Dark Starlings¡¯ respect and sessfully recruit them.


    Wu MO sat in front of his desk and tapped his fingers on the table rhythmically.


    At this moment, news of the gically-modified warrior training the other elite warriors reached his ears.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, the warrior you selected is a genius. His training methods have really exceeded all of our expectations!¡± one of his assistants said excitedly.


    Wu MO¡¯s eyes instantly lit up. ¡°Give me the details.¡±


    The assistant smiled and said, ¡°The warrior first demonstrated his shocking strength and quick reflexes. Then, he showcased his ability to break down any substance. His demonstration shocked the students, and they all focused on their training after that.¡±


    Wu MO shook his head and sighed. ¡°Sometimes, a simple and direct approach is the most effective one. Why have I been beating around the bush? If we show our strength, won¡¯t we be respected?¡±


    Perhaps that was the way to treat the Dark Starlings.


    They were extraterrestrials, and humans had upied their.


    Yet, he still hoped to gain their love and recognition. He was being too greedy.


    In reality, they could only gain the respect and trust of others by disying their true strength.


    This gave Wu MO an idea.


    He immediately contacted the suprememander stationed on Dark Star.


    Themander appeared on the screen and prepared to listen to Wu MO¡¯s orders.


    ¡°I¡¯ll send a few elite warriors over. Get ready to receive them. I¡¯ll give you a detailed n, so you just need to follow it step by step.¡±


    He did not ask too many questions because he knew that Wu MO had his own reason and strategy for every step.


    The suprememander on Dark Star felt like he was walking on a tightrope every day, and he was always in a tense state.


    Firstly, he had to be constantly vignt against Dark Starlings who would cause trouble from time to time.


    Secondly, he needed to worry about maintaining his reputation on the main.


    Imagine the pressure he had to endure every day. As such, there was an unnoticeable fatigue in his eyes.


    When he learned that Wu MO had decided to lend a helping hand, a weight seemed to be lifted off his shoulders.


    Wu MO¡¯s talent and abilities were known throughout the entire gxy.


    Not long after, a small shining spaceship slowlynded on Dark Star.


    Once the cabin door opened, a few elite warriors walked out.


    Seeing the group of warriors, themander¡¯s eyes overflowed with tears of gratitude.


    ¡°You¡¯re finally here¡­ Do you know how much I¡¯ve been looking forward to this moment?¡±


    The suprememander looked at them affectionately, and his tone was full of anticipation as well as reluctance.


    He personally led the warriors into themand center.


    The screen inside resembled a gxy that was dotted with stars. Every corner of Dark Star was monitored.


    Right then, a group of Dark Starlings proudly showed off their muscles in front of the camera as if it was an act of provocation.


    The suprememander¡¯s expression instantly became unpleasant.


    He could see that the Dark Starlings were challenging them.


    ¡°Where did this audacious persone from? Do they really think that we¡¯ll stand by and watch?¡± the suprememander said coldly.


    He could not allow the Dark Starlings to openly challenge mankind¡¯s dignity.


    He knew that if he showed mercy now, he would only be indulging them.


    Determination shed in his eyes, and the suprememander ordered the arrest of the arrogant, domineering Dark Starlings.


    He was demonstrating the humans¡¯ determination and power of intimidation.


    The battle with the Dark Starlings never stopped on this.


    The suprememander¡¯s long experience told him that morality and eloquence alone could not move these aliens.


    He had a feeling that he needed to protect the elite warriors who just arrived to uphold their dignity.


    Something had to be done to intimidate these Dark Starlings.


    One of the warriors spoke in a deep voice and expressed their determination as a group.


    This soldier had be even stronger following the surgery that Wu MO had provided.


    He also understood his responsibility and mission.


    ¡°Supreme Commander, it might be more effective to restrain them with force,¡± the warrior said in a low voice.


    His eyes shone with determination.


    The screenter switched to Wu MO and his team, who were now watching some live footage.


    They saw a shocking scene; a group of Dark Starlings were tied up in front of themand center like prey.


    An assistant beside Wu MO frowned.


    He was worried that this would trigger intense resistance from the Dark Starlings.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, is this really okay? Aren¡¯t we going too far?¡± the assistant asked suspiciously.


    However, Wu MO smiled faintly, and a mysterious light shone in his eyes..</font>

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. We just want them to realize how determined we humans are. We won¡¯t really hurt them.¡±


    Amidst the tense atmosphere, the suprememander walked up to the group of Dark Starlings with an electromaic gun in his hand.


    There was a ruthless look in his eyes.


    ¡°You really think you¡¯re the overlords of the, huh?¡± he said sarcastically.


    ¡°It¡¯s time to teach you a lesson.¡±<div>


    <font <="" div="">


    Then, he aimed at one of the Dark Starlings.


    ¡°Hah! Even if you end me, you can¡¯t take my pride away. You dogs have just been lucky!¡±


    The Dark Starling was fearless, and its eyes were filled with disdain as it spoke.


    Just as the suprememander was about to attack it, someone blocked his path.


    ¡°Commander, leave this to me.¡±


    The gically-modified warrior smiled, and his eyes flickered with determination.


    Then, he untied the restraints on the Dark Starling without hesitation.


    The scene shocked everyone present.


    They were dumbstruck when they saw this, but their minds were filled with many thoughts.


    Was there something wrong with this warrior¡¯s brain?


    Did he not know how dangerous this was?


    ¡°I heard that you guys are pretty conceited about your own strength. Do you think that you¡¯ve surpassed us?¡±


    ¡°Alright,¡± the gically-modified warrior said calmly. ¡°I¡¯ll give you a chance to prove yourself.¡± The five of you can work together. I¡¯ll let you go if you defeat me. How about that?¡±


    His words sounded unbelievable!


    The Dark Starlings were self-proimed top warriors in the universe.


    If the five of them joined forces, even the strongest Special Forces soldiers would not be a match.


    The limits of their bodies were beyond the imagination of regr people.


    Thebined strength of the five Dark Starlings wasparable to a wild beast!


    ¡°You brat! Today, you¡¯ll learn the price of arrogance!¡± one of the Dark Starlings roared fiercely.


    Then, the five of them moved at the same time and surged toward the gically-modified warrior like a storm.


    However, what happened next left everyone dumbstruck.


    The warrior was no different from a ghost.


    Every dodge was precise to the millisecond, and he easily avoided the Dark Starlings¡¯ pincer attack.


    His movements were extremely smooth.


    Soon, the five Dark Starlings were enraged, and they began to be increasingly chaotic.


    The suprememander and his team were dumbfounded as they watched the scene in disbelief.


    ¡°Is¡­ Is he Superman? How can he be so fast?¡±


    Over on the main base, Wu MO clenched his fists in certainty. He knew that he had made the right call.


    While he was deep in thought, Wu MO softly said, ¡°If we could mass-produce such gically-modified warriors, how great would that be?¡±


    As soon as he uttered these words, those around him started to picture teams of gically-modified warriors.


    These warriors emerged like bamboo shoots after a rain and formed a huge army. They spread their wings and soared throughout the Ten Thousand Realms. They were unstoppable!


    The universe was endless, and thes were vast, but humans once thought that their world was the only one in the entire universe.


    Hence, they started to use the term ¡°Ten Thousand Realms.¡±


    However, even scientific research giants had never imed that there were thousands ofs in the universe.


    It was just a romantic imagination of the expectations of gic warriors.


    ¡°If we add in the small mech and spaceship fleets, then the strength of our human race will probably reach its peak,¡± Wu MO said.


    On the screen, the gically-modified warrior shuttled back and forth like a phantom. He began to tire out the five Dark Starlings.


    In the end, they could only sit on the ground with an extremely miserable look. ¡°This¡­ What kind of speed is this?! His movement technique is unbelievable!¡±


    A Dark Starling angrily hammered the ground. They were extremely depressed after such an awful defeat.


    The suprememander was speechless.


    His eyes were filled with shock as if it was his first time seeing such a divine skill.


    The assistants beside him were also dumbfounded.


    Everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on the gically-modified warrior, and their hearts were beating fast.


    He smiled and said, ¡°Supreme Commander, these guys don¡¯t seem to be satisfied. If there¡¯s a need, I¡¯m willing to fight again.¡±


    This gically-modified warrior was called Chu Fei.


    His every word and action represented Wu Mo t s determination.


    After all, Wu Mo t s orders for this trip to the Dark Star were clear: Chu Fei would thoroughly intimidate these Dark Starlings so that they would not even think about rebelling!


    ¡°Mr. Chu, please make yourself at home.¡±


    At this point, the suprememander¡¯s concern over whether Chu Fei would be injured or not hadpletely disappeared.


    Chu Fei¡¯s insane speed and dodging prowess had given him invincibility in this battle.


    Chu Fei lifted his gaze and looked at the five Dark Starlings. ¡°In that case, why don¡¯t you stand up? Let¡¯s have a head-on fight. How about that?¡±


    ¡°What do you mean?¡± one of the Dark Starlings replied coldly.


    Chu Fei smiled. ¡°We¡¯ll fight with our fists to see who¡¯s stronger. Do you have the guts to ept such a simple and direct fight?¡±


    ¡°Haha! What a bunch of big words?! Is this kid crazy?¡±


    It seemed that the Dark Starlings had already integrated into the human socialworks. They sounded quite modern when they spoke.


    Before Chu Fei could finish speaking, the five of them stood up.


    One of the burly Dark Starlings stepped forward and waved its huge fist.


    ¡°You¡¯re courting death!¡± It rushed toward Chu Fei with a loud voice. ¡°If you can take this punch, you¡¯ll have my admiration!¡±


    The sound of the wind almost tore through the air and hit Chu Fei directly in the face. The scene was extremely tense.


    However, he stood his ground like a rock and did not budge in the slightest.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, Chu Fei is being too reckless. Although he has great strength, the Dark Starlings have naturally strong physiques. Generally speaking, they¡¯re stronger than us!¡±


    When someone on the main base saw this scene, they worried for Chu Fei.


    However, they did not know that Wu MO had already tested his strength.


    The force of his hits could reach a whopping 1,200 kilograms. This was no lie!


    Even the strongest Dark Starlings were far inferior to him!


    Bang! Chu Fei and the Dark Starling¡¯s fists collided, and it shook the entiremand room.


    Both of them were forced back a few steps.


    However, what happened next left everyone dumbfounded.


    Chu Fei was as rxed as usual, but the Dark Starling was in so much pain that its face was contorted. Blood was also flowing out of its fist¡­


    ¡°Unbelievable¡­ He¡­ He¡¯s actually been defeated?¡±


    Amongst the Dark Starlings, four of them revealed shocked expressions. They could not believe the scene before them.


    At this moment, another Dark Starling stepped forward. Its eyes were filled with provocation. ¡°It looks like your strength has truly exceeded our expectations, young man. Why don¡¯t you and I have a match, then?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t go! Don¡¯t go!¡±


    ¡°This kid¡¯s strength is beyond our imagination!¡± one of them shouted in a hurry. ¡°Fighting him will only bring shame to ourselves!¡±


    However, these words had no effect on this Dark Starling who was eager to test its skills.


    ¡°Come on, then!¡± Chu Fei challenged. He waved his fist and rushed forth..</font>

    The anger on the Dark Starling¡¯s face grew even more intense. ¡°You arrogant brat! You still don¡¯t realize how big the gap is between us!¡±


    Boom! The two powerful forces collided in an instant, and caused their surroundings to tremble.


    The result was beyond everyone¡¯s expectations.


    The Dark Starling was actually forced back a little. Its face was pale, and its breathing wasbored.


    Then, a trace of blood seeped out from the corner of its mouth. Clearly, it had been greatly injured in this battle.<div>


    <font <="" div="">


    On the contrary, Chu Fei was as steady as Mount Tai. His face was expressionless.


    ¡°How is this possible? Such power!¡±


    Everyone on the base was shocked.


    Even the suprememander was awestruck. He could clearly sense Chu Fei¡¯s astonishing strength.


    The Dark Starling did not speak for a long time as if it was still shaken to the core.


    ¡°You¡­ You¡¯re truly very powerful.¡±


    When it finally spoke, its voice was filled with unconceble shock. Then, it somberly rejoined its team.


    The remaining three Dark Starlings had originally been ambitious and prepared topete with Chu Fei.


    However, after what they just saw, they seemed topletely lose their fighting spirit.


    His punch was too horrific.


    ¡°Haha. Who else dares to challenge me? Why don¡¯t we let the Dark Starlings in every corner of the hear this challenge and see who¡¯s capable, strong, and brave enough to stand against me?!¡±


    Chu Fei stood at the center, and his arrogance was overflowing.


    It was as if he had already stepped all over the Dark Starlings.


    The moment his domineering aura swept across the ce, those who watched the live broadcast were on fire!


    ¡°Chu Fei is outstanding! He just showed the Dark Starlings how unyielding humans are. From now on, these guys will definitely re-evaluate us and even fear us!¡± an expert on psychological warfare expressed his admiration for Chu Fei.


    This was exactly what Wu MO had hoped for.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, I know that Chu Fei¡¯s strength is extraordinary, but there will surely be one or two powerful warriors on this entire as well. Is there a guarantee that he¡¯ll be able to keep things under control?¡± An adjutant interjected with a worried expression.


    If anything unexpected happened, all their efforts would be for naught.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Wu Mo shook his head with a face full of confidence. ¡°Chu Fei¡¯s body has undergone a precise transformation. No one on this can defeat him. His true threat can only be found on Pirna.¡±


    ¡°Since you¡¯re confident, we¡¯ll keep watching, Mr. Wu!¡±


    The adjutant was relieved, the atmosphere on the entire base became even more tense.


    Everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on the screen, and they looked forward to the climax.


    ¡°He dares challenge our entire race?¡±


    The five Dark Starlings stared at the arrogant Chu Fei with their mouths agape.


    For a moment, they were shocked speechless.


    They wanted to insult Chu Fei, but when they thought of the terrifying power that he had just disyed, they were troubled.


    They felt weak and powerless, like a kite with a broken string.


    ¡°Wait. I suddenly remembered something. Hasn¡¯t that fighter woken up? His strength has also been modified. It¡¯s said that his punch has a force of nine hundred kilograms. Perhaps he can fight Chu Fei?¡±


    Suddenly, the eyes of one of the Dark Starlings lit up.


    ¡°Haha! Young man, just you wait! Let me reveal a little secret. A super strong male in our race has awakened from his long slumber. He will fight you immediately!¡±


    Chu Fei was not afraid at all when he heard what the Dark Starling said.


    Instead, his face was filled with anticipation and excitement as if he had found a worthy opponent.


    ¡°Oh? Why would such a good thing make me cower? Hurry up and call this Hercules of yours over. I can¡¯t wait!¡±


    Not long after, the five Dark Starlings appeared on the scene with a huge individual, who appeared as strong as a walking iron tower.


    A suffocating power emanated from his body.


    His eyes also shone brightly like a lighthouse before dawn.


    However, the light in his eyes carried a terrifying killing intent.


    ¡°Young man, you must be that arrogant fellow who had the audacity to challenge our entire race, right? Looking at your small body, I reckon that I can turn you into ash with one punch!¡±


    ¡°Hmph. You¡¯re very tall, but you¡¯ll be sorry for challenging me today.¡± Chu Fei chuckled and rolled up his sleeves without hesitation.


    ¡°Hercules¡± nodded slightly. Then, he walked up to Chu Fei before the two of them stood side by side.


    From a visual point of view, one was tall and mighty, while the other was rtively short. It looked like a showdown between an elephant and a mouse!


    The Dark Starlings present were looking forward to this match, and they could not help but cheer for Hercules.


    ¡°Hercules, show us your strength as a Dark Starling and defeat this arrogant human!¡±


    The audience knew that Chu Fei was immensely powerful, but some still felt a little nervous for him.


    The suprememander signaled his adjutant with his eyes.


    A group of staff were already prepared to press their fingers on their electromaic guns.


    They were prepared to deal with all kinds of unexpected situations.


    ¡°Let¡¯s begin!¡±


    The two of them roared at the same time.


    Then, they waved their fists and collided like two meteors.


    Bang!


    The loud noise shook the entire ground as if the entire world was about to shatter.


    ¡°Oh, my God! What¡¯s going on? This is insane!¡±


    Even the well-informed audience members were stunned by the power they were witnessing.


    It felt as if the tremors were going to destroy the entire building. Everyone felt the world shake.


    However, Chu Fei¡¯s face turned pale the next moment.


    It was as if he had lost all his strength in an instant. He slowly took a few steps back and almost had trouble speaking.


    Everyone was bbergasted as if they could not believe what they were seeing.


    Could it be that Hercules¡¯ battle prowess was truly greater than Chu Fei¡¯s?


    However, the big guy just stood in ce. The whole battle was a little underwhelming.


    While it seemed that Chu Fei had really lost this time, the audience was puzzled about something.


    Even though Chu Fei had taken a few steps back, the huge Dark Starling never uttered a single insult.


    ¡°Wait a minute. This isn¡¯t right. The Dark Starlings have always enjoyed mocking those they defeat, so why is he silent this time?¡±


    Some of the audience members immediately sensed that something was wrong.


    The Dark Starlings who were ready to cheer for victory also noticed this and walked up to the big guy.


    They gently waved their hands in front of his eyes in an effort to get a reaction.


    To their disappointment, the big guy remained motionless.


    There was a strange expression on his face.


    His eyes were fixed ahead, and he did not even blink..</font>

    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion


    ¡°Oh, no. Something serious has happened!¡±


    One of the Dark Starlings reacted first. It quickly reached out to pat the big guy¡¯s cheek.


    However, the big guy continued to be unresponsive.


    At this moment, everyone realized that things were definitely off.


    The face of every Dark Starling turned deathly pale.<div>


    <font <="" div="">


    They shook Hercules frantically as if they were trying to pull him back from the brink of death.


    The suprememander had already ordered his assistants to prepare to fire.


    When he saw what had happened, he immediately ordered, ¡°Don¡¯t move for the time being. Let¡¯s observe first.¡±


    Then, as Hercules was being shaken, his eyes, nostrils, and mouth bled.


    For a moment, everyone gasped and took a few steps back in fear. ¡°What¡¯s going on? How did he die so suddenly?¡±


    One of the Dark Starlings felt as if its worldview had been shattered.


    ¡°That¡¯s impossible. It was just a punch. How could it have killed him? This is too bizarre!¡±


    The other Dark Starlings also looked at each other in disbelief.


    Suddenly, they thought of a shocking possibility.


    This human named Chu Fei had such terrifying fist strength.


    Perhaps this overbearing power directly transmitted into the big guy¡¯s body and instantly destroyed all the organs in his body?


    Therefore, with just one punch, Hercules was killed!


    This discovery caused a deep fear to rise in the hearts of every Dark Star resident.


    ¡°Sigh. I¡¯m really sorry. I didn¡¯t control my strength well and identally crushed him.¡±


    Chu Fei¡¯s voice drifted by the side, like a breeze passing through the flowers.


    The Dark Starlings were all stunned for a moment as if their brains had been forcefully restarted.


    If it had been any other time, they would have attacked Chu Fei in groups and racked their brains to take his life.


    However, this was a fair battle. This restriction was not limited to their.


    Instead, it was applicable to any civilization and any ce. Revenge was absolutely not allowed!


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you scared silly? Who else dares to challenge me?¡±


    Chu Fei smiled so brightly as if he had just been ying a game.


    He spoke again. His voice was steady but a little cold. ¡°But please be mentally prepared. Next time, I might not be able to control my power. I¡¯m not even sure how terrifying it will be.¡±


    After the Dark Starlings heard Chu Fei¡¯s words, all their hearts began to pound like a hammer and beat really fast.


    With that, Chu Fei easily defeated them.


    He wanted all the Dark Starlings on the to understand that there was someone so terrifying among the humans!


    Not only was he as agile as the wind, but his fists also had the power to break rocks.


    Hercules was nothing more than a sand sculpture that would shatter with a single touch!


    ¡°Mr. Wu, the mission has been sessfullypleted.¡±


    Chu Fei quickly gave Wu MO a video call.


    ¡°Very good, Chu Fei.¡± Wu MO nodded slightly and said with satisfaction, ¡°You did well. I have more good news. A gically-modified warrior like you is about to face arge-scale modification.¡±


    ¡°Oh, really? Mr. Wu, I¡¯m looking forward to it!¡±


    An expectant look shed in Chu Fei¡¯s eyes as he gazed at his hands.


    He knew very well that he was only one of two people in the world with the ability to break down all things.


    The other person was Wu Mo.


    Having the same ability as Wu MO was an unparalleled honor for Chu Fei.


    Wu MO slowly revealed more information. ¡°Once there is arge number of gically-modified warriors, I will organize apetition to allow you topete better. When the timees, I hope you can do your best.¡± Hearing Wu Mot s words, Chu Fei¡¯s blood boiled.


    Imagine, many gically-modified warriors gathering together and engaging in the battle of the century.


    How exciting would that be!


    Perhaps it was because he had the genes of the Pirnaians, but Chu Fei was now a ¡°troublemaker.¡±


    As soon as he heard that there was another chance to fight, he automatically became excited.


    Wu MO had already begun to use the resources he had at the Institute of Special Biology.


    He had initiated arge-scale gene replication n.


    ¡°What?! Ten thousand gically-modified warriors? Mr. Wu, are you joking?¡±


    Chu Fei could hardly believe his ears when he learned about Wu Mo¡¯s grand n.


    The scientists at the Institute of Special Biology were also shocked.


    He felt as if he had heard a prophecy about the end of the world.


    After all, Wu Mo t s n this time was beyond humanly possible.


    Right now, Chu Fei alone could sweep through everything on Dark Star and establish a reputation as someone invincible.


    What kind of unstoppable force would ten thousand Chu Feis be?


    ¡°That¡¯s right. You¡¯d better start moving. My gic modifications won¡¯t wait for anyone.¡±


    Wu MO was not joking.


    He was serious about turning this n into reality.


    ¡°If anyone dares to obstruct me, I will not hesitate to get rid of them.¡± Wu Mo¡¯s tone was filled with determination.


    ¡°Yes, Mr. Wu! We will do our best to ensure the sess of this mission.¡¯ Every member of the Institute of Special Biology was extremely nervous.


    They even mobilized more research teams to join them.


    They knew that if they could notplete Wu Mo¡¯s mission perfectly, the consequences would be unimaginable.


    He was a man of action.


    The moment he felt that someone was dying or ruining his n, that person would be mercilessly removed.


    At this moment, the Institute of Special Biology was like a high-speed machine.


    Every gear was working hard for one goal¡ªto create ten thousand gically-modified warriors.


    Due to Wu Mo¡¯s crazy n, Chu Fei was even more determined to stand out in the future.


    At this moment, in the Institute of Special Biology, a researcher¡¯s eyes were as bright as the stars.


    He sessfully split the contents in a test tube into two and formed two gene deposits.


    This was not an ordinary scientific experiment.


    The results showed that such a gic entity could divide indefinitely.


    It could spawn hundreds or even thousands of identical gene groups!


    ¡°Mr. Wu, good news! I¡¯ve found a highly efficient gene splitting method. In the future, we can elerate our production of gically-modified warriors,¡± the researcher reported excitedly.


    Wu MO nodded in satisfaction when he heard the good news.


    Obviously, this breakthrough would greatly increase his army¡¯s efficiency.


    While he was busy building his own super army, Wu MO did not ignore the situation on Pirna.


    Under the Divine Sword¡¯s surveince, one Overlord creature after another began to emerge on Pirna.


    These were fused Overlord species, and each of them possessed shocking lethality.


    More importantly, they had all passed strict tests of strength and speed. Almost all of them had achieved perfect results..</font>

    ¡®Looks like the pressure has multiplied. These guys are quite strong. We must fight them with our gically-modified army,¡¯ Wu MO thought to himself.


    This was a race against time.


    Whoever could prepare their ¡°trump card¡± first could make the first move.


    Finally, the day came.


    One after another, gically-modified warriors walked out of the Institute of Special Biology.<div>


    <font <="" div="">


    Wu MO did a rough count. Nearly five hundred gicall-modified warriors had been sessfully created.


    Each of them had the same amazing ability as Chu Fei: They were terrifyingly powerful and fast as lightning.


    Such an army of warriors could wipe out any race in the universe, be it the Dark Starlings or the Pirnaians.


    Before the gically-modified warriors, they were as tiny as ants.


    Wu MO stood in front of his super soldiers.


    His eyes shed with satisfaction and anticipation.


    He knew that this was just the beginning. His ambitions and goals were far beyond this.


    ¡°Haha. Brave warriors, this is your first gathering, but this is definitely not our final destination! In my grand n, we need gically-modified warriors in the tens of thousands before we can be called a true army!¡±


    Wu Mo¡¯s voice was powerful like a thunderbolt echoing in the confined space.


    When the surrounding people heard his words, they were tongue-tied. Each and every one of them felt a chill run down their spine.


    ¡®Tens of thousands? Won¡¯t he have the power to destroy the world?!¡¯


    Everyone felt that Wu MO was resembling an arrogant and insufferable lunatic. Their eyes were filled with fear of the unknown.


    ¡°What if things go out of control when they reach that stage?¡±


    However, their worries concerns were unnecessary because Wu MO had alreadypletely deciphered their gic code.


    He could control this group of gically-modified warriors at will.


    He transformed them from individuals with independent consciousness into a system that obeyed his orders.


    At this moment, five hundred gically-modified warriors lined up in front of wu Mo.


    They stared at each other, their hearts filled with shock.


    It was not only because his strength and speed had increased greatly. It was also because each of them had obtained a jaw-dropping ability. ¡°Hahaha. Don¡¯t hide it. Tell me what kind of power you have!¡±


    ¡°My ability is to control mes. What about yours?¡± ¡°I can create frost at will and freeze anything!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s as if he just walked out of aic book. I¡¯m so excited!¡±


    Excitement that couldn¡¯t be expressed in words boiled in everyone¡¯s hearts.


    They had all kinds of dreams.


    Now, it was as if they had be the main characters in superhero movies. They had outstanding abilities, and their happiness was beyond words.


    ¡°Everyone, Mr. Wu is here!¡±


    All the gically-modified warriors instantly sensed Wu MO slowly walking over.


    Wu Mo¡¯s face was so stern that it was almost suffocating. He scanned everyone with his eagle-like eyes.


    Suddenly, his gaze stopped on Chu Fei for a moment.


    Although Chu Fei was also a gically-modified warrior, he did not participate in this test.


    He would be responsible for providing guidance.


    Chu Fei had already reached a level of perfect fusion, so there was no need for any form of testing.


    Taking a deep breath, Wu MO finally began to slowly give his speech.


    His words were filled with an irresistible deterrence.


    ¡°Everyone, you are all elithe tes among gically-modified warriors. The status and power that you have today is all a result of China¡¯s top-notch technology. Without this advanced technology, how could you have reached such heights?¡±


    Wu Mo¡¯s words shook every warrior who was present.


    ¡°That¡¯s true. Without China¡¯s cutting-edge technology, how could we have obtained superpowers so easily and be a mythical existence?¡±


    Wu MO continued to speak with deep affection and determination, ¡°Therefore, you should always remember that no matter when and where, you must stand on China¡¯s side and contribute to China. ¡°Do you understand this?¡± ¡°Understood, Mr. Wu. We¡¯ll keep that in mind!¡±


    If these high-level gically-modified warriors betrayed China, the consequences would be unimaginable.


    ¡®These warriors are not only the treasures of China, but also the results of my blood and sweat. If they joined others, it would definitely be a huge blow to me.¡±


    At this moment, the Divine Sword clearly showed the area where the Overlord creatures were located.


    Every angle was perfect as it urately aimed its surveince camera at the research institute in the za.


    There were at least five hundred Overlords gathered there.


    Each of them was d in golden armor, and their aura was reminiscent of a Battle God. Their eyes were filled with an unspoken murderous intent.


    ¡°Oh, my God. Is this the legendary Overlord species? They look like demons from aic book!¡±


    Even though they were only visible through the Divine Sword¡¯s screen, their


    biting cold aura still made everyone shiver.


    When all the researchers saw this scene, they couldn¡¯t help but break out in cold sweat for Wu Mo.


    ¡°Can these warriors whom Mr. Wu created really withstand such an army of Overlords?¡±


    This question was like a sword hanging in everyone¡¯s heart. It made them feel even more pressured.


    After all, he was facing an overlord level monster.


    Humans were made of flesh and blood.


    How could hepete with these nearly invincible steel deformed creatures?


    Suddenly, the entire research institute seemed to be shaken by an indescribable force.


    Curious, nervous, and expectant, people walked out of theboratory and office and came to the center of the square.


    There were already five hundred gically-modified warriors on the za.


    They were all in unison, their auras awe-inspiring.


    ¡°As you can see, this is Mr. Wu¡¯s newly developed gically-enhanced army. Although there are only five hundred of them, none of them are inferior to Chu Fei!¡±


    ¡°Are you kidding me? None of them were worse than Chu Fei? Does that mean there are five hundred Chu Fei-level warriors?¡±


    When the officers heard this, they were struck by lightning.


    Chu Fei¡¯s legend and strength were already known by everyone in Dark Star.


    He had conquered every Dark Starlings who had once refused to submit to him, bing a well-deserved king.


    But now, there seemed to be five hundred Chu Feis in front of them. What was going on?


    The officers¡¯ gazes were all focused on these gically-modified warriors.


    It was as if he wanted to find that powerful energy from them.


    At this moment, Wu Mo walked out leisurely.


    With a wave of his hand, the warriors seemed to have received an order and were ready to disy their astonishing abilities.


    Boom! Boom!


    The five hundred gically-modified warriors suddenly fell from the sky like meteors, smashing heavily onto the ground.


    However, their legs seemed to have a special spring. They bent slightly and then suddenly stretched.


    Then, he flew into the sky again with astonishing strength..</font>

    ¡°Unbelievable! This speed has simply surpassed the limits of humanity!¡±


    Everyone in the audience was stunned.


    Although these five hundred soldiers did not have the special ability to fly, they were still able to fly.


    But the strength of their lower limbs was so great that they were able to perform jumps in the air that were almost like flying for a short time.


    Next, these elite gically-modified warriors were like dancers in the air, performing a series of almost inconceivable dodging movements.<div>


    <font <="" div="">


    Finally, they came to an abandoned wall. The wall was covered with palm prints left behind by someone pping it hard.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    A deafening roar echoed in the air, like the roar of a god.


    The five hundred gically-modified warriors punched out at the same time.


    Every punch hit the originally indestructible wall.


    ¡°This¡­ This is impossible!¡±


    The hearts of the audience seemed to have been blown by a cold wind, and they constricted violently.


    This wall was nearly ten meters thick. Its existence was to prevent anyone from easily destroying it.


    However, these gically-modified warriors had instantly turned it into nothingness!


    What the soldiers did next was even more shocking.


    Like a tornado, they charged toward a row of ck vehicles parked in the distance.


    Each of these vehicles weighed dozens of tons.


    The gically-modified warriors each stood in front of a vehicle with their arms wide open.


    The muscles in his entire body tensed up. Then, he let out a shocking roar. ¡°That¡¯s dozens of tons. How is that possible? They are humans, not monsters!¡± The audience couldn¡¯t believe their eyes at all and muttered in low voices. However, when the gically-modified warriors lifted their bodies with


    force¡­


    Those heavy vehicles were actually lifted up steadily by them!


    This scenepletely shocked everyone, including Wu Mo. A satisfied smile appeared on his face.


    He looked around and noticed that the officers around him had be mute for a moment. He could not help butugh.


    ¡°Five hundred gically-modified warriors,¡± Wu MO announced loudly. ¡°Next, you will participate in a series of harsh tests andparisons. The winner would have the opportunity to be sent to an alien to carry out an important mission. After you seed, I guarantee that you will get those things that you can¡¯t resist and have always dreamed of!¡±


    ¡°Oh? Do I have to show you something that makes your heart beat faster and makes you drool?¡±


    Hearing Wu Mo¡¯s words, the pupils of the warriors seemed to flicker with unconceble excitement and desire.


    That¡¯s right. As gically-modified warriors, they were most obsessed with supernatural powers that were only found in myths and legends.


    Did Wu Mo¡¯s words indicate the emergence of more advanced abilities?


    It was as if there were explosives in everyone¡¯s hearts, waiting for a fuse.


    They gritted their teeth, determined to amaze the world in the uing test in order to obtain even rarer abilities.


    Chu Fei was old, but he was no exception.


    Like the other warriors, he was looking forward to the start of the test.


    Finally, Wu MO announced, The test begins now!


    All the officers and researchers instantly became spectators.


    They focused on the huge disy screen in the base.


    He was fully focused on observing the series of tests that this group of young warriors were about to undergo.


    The first part of the test was to test the strength of the fist.


    In front of him was an unbelievably huge sandbag.


    It was muchrger than the sandbags they usually used for training.


    This sandbag was very well-designed and could withstand a force of up to five thousand pounds.


    In other words, unless they were supermen, it was impossible for them to break the sandbag.


    The gically-modified warriors lined up one by one.


    When it was their turn, everyone gathered all their strength and smashed hard on the sandbag.


    All of a sudden, a soldier punched down, and the number on the sandbag showed that it weighed 2,500 pounds!


    ¡°F*ck, 2,500 pounds?!¡±


    A series of gasps sounded, and even Chu Fei was dumbfounded.


    He himself could only exert a force of two thousand pounds, and that was enough to make the entire Dark Star army flinch.


    Now, this guy had surpassed him in one move. What was going on?


    ¡°Hahaha. There¡¯s nothing to make a fuss about. My special ability strengthens my muscles. In addition, I¡¯ve undergone gic modification, so it¡¯s within expectations that I can exceed five hundred pounds!¡±


    The young warrior exined proudly, looking confident.


    Everyone was dumbfounded, as if they had been struck by lightning by this astonishing phenomenon.


    A guy with shocking strength.


    He actually had a special ability to increase his strength. This simply made people lose the courage to live!


    ¡°Mr. Wu, this person¡¯s strength is simply terrifying! 2,500 pounds. If this punch hits, who can survive?¡± an officer beside him said with lingering fear.


    Wu MO smiled and nodded.b¡±Actually, there¡¯s nothing to be surprised about. His ability is to increase muscle strength, and his physical fitness is outstanding, so it¡¯s reasonable for him to break through to 2,500 pounds.¡±


    From the looks of it, this young warrior was undoubtedly a king.


    At the very least, no one could shake his dominance on the field.


    However, just as everyone was immersed in this shock and prepared to look for the next possible dark horse, another warrior leisurely walked up to the sandbag.


    He was expressionless and did not even gather his strength. He just casually punched.


    The number screen on the sandbag immediately exploded with an even more shocking number: 2,600 pounds!


    At this moment, everyone seemed to have been struck by lightning, and their faces instantly turned as pale as paper.


    One was more abnormal than the other. What was going on?


    Even Wu MO couldn¡¯t help but stand up.


    His eyes almost popped out of their sockets.


    He urately locked onto the disy screen, as if he wanted to find out more secrets from the numbers.


    ¡°This is impossible. He has never received any special ability training to increase his strength. How can he have such powerful strength? Could it be¡­


    Could he be a natural strongman?¡±


    Even Wu MO felt that this was beyondmon sense.


    If there were strong men on Dark Star, then there would naturally be nock of such people in human society.


    If he was really such a person, then after gic training, he would be able to do so.


    The potential in his body erupted like a volcano!


    This also meant that this guy¡¯s future development potential was simply immeasurable.


    His strength would only be more and more terrifying.


    ¡°Very outstanding, absolutely outstanding! Quick, show me all his physical data.¡±


    As soon as Wu MO finished speaking, the big screen shed.


    Then, the data of the young man who had stunned the audience, Feng Haifeng, was disyed.


    ¡°Feng Haifeng, age 27, weight 78 kilograms, height 1..75 meters¡­¡±</font>

    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion


    The data on the big screen was akin to a transparent anatomical map, and it exposed Feng Haifeng to everyone.


    They all stared at the screen carefully as if they were trying to find an answer from the data.


    His height and weight were not bad.


    However, that information was definitely not enough to exin why he had such terrifying power.


    How did this happen?<div>


    <font <="" div="">


    ¡°Show us his muscle strength!¡± Wu MO spoke again.


    The Al system immediately projected Feng Haifeng¡¯s muscle data onto the screen.


    The data was disyed clearly.


    When Feng Haifeng swung his fist, his muscles could release nearly 90% of his strength.


    Furthermore, the time he took to release this force was extremely short¡ªless than half a second!


    Right then, Wu MO felt as if he had just woken up from a dream.


    It turned out that Feng Haifeng had utilized his muscles to achieve such amazing results.


    ¡°So, that¡¯s how it is. He instantly surpassed his limits with the explosive


    strength of his muscles!¡±


    ¡°Wait. A force of 1,560 kilograms? How could I have such great power? Why didn¡¯t I realize it before?¡±


    Feng Haifeng stood there in a daze as if he had been struck by lightning.


    Chu Fei and the other gically-modified warriors felt conflicted when they saw his stunned expression.


    Everyone present knew that Feng Haifeng had be the strongest gically-modified warrior.


    Based on the strength test alone, Wu MO was already proud of these warriors!


    While the test continued, his mind drifted far away.


    He began to wonder whether the gically-modified warriors that he had personally created or those legendary Overlords better.


    Finally, the strength test was over.


    Feng Haifeng was undoubtedly in first ce.


    With that shocking 1,560 kilograms of force, he seemed to stand on an insurmountable altar.


    A warrior who could release a force of 1,500 kilograms was in second ce.


    As for third ce, it was not filled by Chu Fei, whom everyone was familiar with.


    It was another powerful warrior.


    The experienced general, Chu Fei, had unfortunately been squeezed out of the top ten.


    However, Wu MO knew that his ranking did not indicate that he was not outstanding.


    First of all, Chu Fei was not a warrior who focused purely on strength. His strength was multidimensional andplex.


    Second of all, Chu Fei had undergone the gic modification surgery a long time ago.


    His body had more time to adapt and improve.


    All these factors gave Chu Fei iparable advantages.


    After the test ended, the atmosphere at the square became extremely tense.


    All the gically-modified warriors gathered in one ce.


    Wu Mo¡¯s thunderous voice rang in their ears, ¡°Listen up. We¡¯ll be having an arena match next. The top ten warriors will obtain an extra, extremely powerful ability!¡±


    ¡°Oh, my God! Another powerful ability? Does that mean I have the chance to have two superpowers?¡±


    For a moment, there was a hugemotion at the square. Every warrior felt as if their spirits had been ignited. ¡°Hahaha! The dual abilities will be mine!¡±


    ¡°Stop dreaming! This power is destined to be mine alone!¡±


    Every warrior was brimming with confidence, and their eyes shone with determination.


    They swore to do their best to win what Wu MO had promised them!


    At this moment, the arena was the intersection of their passion and ambition.


    Everyone was prepared to use all their skills to portray their strongest self.


    No one wanted to miss this opportunity.


    Once they were defeated, they would lose the key to changing their fate.


    They would not be able to get over such regret in this lifetime.


    They knew that the next match would be the ultimate test of everyone¡¯s strength and willpower.


    When the time came, they would show the world what a perfect gically-modified warrior was!


    ¡°Mr. Wu, this arena match is going to be China¡¯s most powerful battle, isn¡¯t it?¡± an officer in themand center asked with a burning gaze.


    Wu MO smiled and confidently said, ¡°There is no doubt that, at present, no living being on this or across the universe can match our gically-modified warriors.¡±


    As he spoke, Wu MO gently tapped on the screen on the console.


    ¡°Look. A warrior like Feng Haifeng is already unrivaled. At least, no alien creature can surpass him at the moment.¡±


    Then, he slid his fingertip toward Chu Fei¡¯s image. ¡°As for Chu Fei, his gene fusion has already reached its peak. Not only is his strength outstanding, but his mind is also extremely sharp. He¡¯s a perfectbination of an alien and a human.¡±


    Wu Mo¡¯s words revealed the unique traits of the warriors present, and surprised gasps filled the entiremand center as a result.


    ¡°Whoa! Mr. Wu knows them like the back of his hand. It¡¯s obvious that he¡¯s put in a lot of effort!¡±


    Right then, everyone finally understood.


    Wu MO did not create this gically-modified army for fun. It had a far-reaching purpose.


    The focus returned to the arena in the square. The intense battle had already begun.


    The five hundred gically-modified warriors entered the arena one by one ording to the predetermined grouping method.


    As the number of groups decreased, those who had potential to make it into the top ten gradually became more prominent.


    For now, two warriors were standing in the arena and ready to engage in a


    fierce battle.


    Everyone¡¯s eyes were fixed on them as they wanted to see who would have thestugh.


    ¡°Who do you think is going to win?


    A group of officers in themand room suddenly became interested.


    Everyone wanted to prove that they had a good eye.


    ¡°I think it¡¯s going to be the guy in red,¡± one of the tall officers slowly said. ¡°He seems to have an advantage in terms of physical fitness and technique.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, almost everyone around him nodded.


    Without a doubt, the young man in red was reminiscent of an aggressive cheetah. He was shuttling back and forth in the arena at lightning speed.


    Every step he took looked like it had been measured because it was extremely precise.


    This showed that he possessed extraordinary strength and speed.


    Wu MO sat quietly at the side.


    It was as if the oue of this battle had already been decided.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, is something wrong? Why don¡¯t you share your thoughts with us?¡±


    One of the officers was in low spirits. On the screen, the warrior in red was dominating his opponent, a slightly short and chubby young man.


    The young man seemed anxious, and his face had even turned red because he couldn¡¯t lock onto his opponent.


    ¡°Don¡¯t just run around. If you have the guts, fight me head-on!¡± the chubby young man roared.


    He was on the verge of tears.


    Meanwhile, the young man in red burst outughing..</font>

    ¡°Hit you? Stop fooling around. We¡¯re not boors. We¡¯re super soldiers who perfectlybine intelligence and strength in a fight!¡±


    When the surrounding warriors heard this, they all cheered and echoed the


    sentiment.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. Who says we¡¯re boors? We¡¯re all advanced supermen who pay equal attention to both tactics and strength!¡±


    The chubby young man in the ring became even more anxious. Beads of sweat dripped down his forehead like raindrops.<div>


    <font <="" div="">


    ¡°Alright, then. Let¡¯s go all out!¡±


    He gritted his teeth and threw himself at the young man in red.


    ¡°What are they doing?¡±


    The audience was confused.


    If the chubby young man moved forward recklessly, wouldn¡¯t he be exposing his weakness?


    As expected, the young man in red was ready to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.


    His fist was like an arrow that had left the bow as it charged straight at the other party.


    ¡°Hahaha. Brother, you¡¯ve lost. Hurry up and leave!¡±


    With great ferocity, the young man in rednded his fist on the chubby man¡¯s chest.


    Time seemed to freeze at this moment!


    In themand center, all the officers¡¯ faces were filled with solemnity and shock.


    It was as if they were saying, ¡°Wow. This is really unexpected.¡± Wu MO stood at the side in silence.


    However, there was a hint of curiosity and interest in his eyes.


    This made all the officers present even more confused.


    They thought to themselves, ¡®Why would Mr. Wu have such a reaction? What¡¯s going on?¡¯


    At the same time, the surveince screen showed that the young man in red had gradually be solemn.


    Then, he appeared shocked.


    ¡°How is this possible? This is impossible!¡± he shouted.


    He could feel an enormous force on his fist.


    This force locked him in ce and did not give him a chance to retreat.


    ¡°Hurry up and let go of me! D*mn it!¡±


    He almost screamed as he grabbed the wrist that was being sucked in and tried to pull it away.


    However, no matter how hard he struggled, his hand seemed to be firmly attracted by a huge maic field. It would not budge at all!


    ¡°Hahaha. Are you surprised? This is my unique ability!¡±


    A smug and cunning smile appeared on the chubby young man¡¯s face.


    At this moment, everyone, including themander, was shocked.


    Everyone in the venue could tell that things were taking a bad turn.


    All their previous deductions and judgments had beenpletely overturned.


    ¡°So, we were all wrong. This guy actually has such a terrifying ability?¡± an officer said with a bitter smile.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, may I ask how this mechanism of using a maic field in the body to produce a huge attractive force is realized?¡± someone suddenly inquired.


    Everyone¡¯s doubts had grown, so one of the officers decided to ask without hesitation.


    After all, the human body was made of blood and flesh.


    Did he have to install mas or something like that inside the man¡¯s body?


    It sounded like a science fiction novel. It was simply unbelievable!


    Wu MO smiled faintly, revealing a mysterious and profound smile.


    ¡± It¡¯s not a ma,¡± he said slowly.¡± It¡¯s a natural phenomenon called the ¡®biological maic field.¡¯ He isn¡¯t the only one who possesses such power.


    Anyone can reach this realm.¡±


    ¡°Back then, no one was willing to ept such an ability. However, this slightly plump young man volunteered, so I fulfilled his wish. I didn¡¯t expect him to be able to use it so well. It¡¯s beyond my expectations.¡±


    After hearing Wu Mo t s words, the crowd went into an uproar and fell silent.


    Was this considered a blessing in disguise?


    This inconspicuous chubby young man had actually be sowless and powerful that it was suffocating!


    ¡°Haha, this kid is indeed extraordinary! With such an ability, who would dare to casually engage him in closebat?¡±


    Reality proved this point.


    The red-clothed young man was firmly locked by the chubby young man¡¯s ability. In the end, he could not fight back and could only surrender dejectedly.


    In such a close-range battle.


    When one party was bound and unable to move.


    Then the other side would be able to win at any time.


    The young man in red knew that he was no match, so he could only admit defeat to avoid losing face in front of everyone.


    ¡°Anyone here is qualified to challenge this contestant!¡±


    The researcher in charge of maintaining order announced the rules loudly.


    For a moment, the gic warriors below began to size each other up.


    He looked hesitant and cautious.


    It was a dilemma to decide whether or not to challenge him.


    Everyone was having a fierce internal struggle.


    If he could defeat this chubby young man, he would undoubtedly gain the attention of Wu Mo.


    However, if he went up and got beaten up, it would be a catastrophic failure.


    This was a double-edged sword and a highly risky gamble. Victory and defeat were worlds apart.


    At this moment, a figure walked out from the crowd and strode toward the ring.


    ¡°Oh? Who was this guy? You actually have the guts to challenge me?¡±


    Everyone¡¯s eyes lit up when they saw this, and their curiosity instantly reached its peak.


    ¡°I challenge you!¡±


    The challenger walked onto the stage, his tone firm and without any hesitation.


    ¡°Hmph. You actually dare to challenge me?¡±


    ¡°Come on!¡± The chubby young man smiled confidently. ¡°Let me see what you have to stand here!¡±


    Seeing how arrogant the chubby young man was, many officers in the base shook their heads.


    Victory was a beautiful thing, but arrogance was a must, especially on the ever-changing battlefield.


    It was impossible to predict what would happen next.


    Moreover, he was an excellent warrior who had been carefully nurtured.


    He should also know that arrogance would only cause people to misjudge the situation and eventually lead to failure.


    The challenger stood still and then suddenly moved!


    In an instant, his hands were like des. He cut through the air at an astonishing speed. Layers of de energy attacked like a storm.


    ¡°Oh, my God! This is simply too cool! I also want to have such an ability!¡± Seeing this scene, all the spectating officers couldn¡¯t help but exim in excitement.


    If he had such an ability, it would not be a problem for him to fight against ten people in closebat.


    It was as if he had several sharp des and had be a true multi-de warrior!


    Unfortunately, such an ability was still not a threat to the chubby young man. This was because his ability was specifically used to restrain all melee attacks.


    ¡°Wait!¡± someone suddenly shouted. ¡°Wait! What¡¯s that?¡±


    A green light suddenly erupted from the challenger¡¯s palm.


    At the same time, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a yful smile.


    In the next second, the green light suddenly spread out, turning into countless bright spots of light.


    Like a shower of stars in the night sky.


    In an instant, the entire arena was enveloped by this green light.


    The entire ce was in an uproar. Everyone was dumbfounded by this sudden situation.


    What was going on?


    Was this challenger hiding some other unknown ability?</font>

    ¡°Oh, my God! Isn¡¯t this a magic show?¡±


    The officers stood up one after another, and the atmosphere in the cabin was extremely tense.


    Everyone turned to look at Wu Mo.


    As the ¡°creator¡± of these gically-modified warriors, how would he view this extremely intense battle?


    After all, Wu MO had designed all the amazing abilities for these soldiers.<div>


    <font <="" div="">


    He was the soul of this gically-modified army and the creator of the bio-modification capsules.


    However, Wu MO did not speak. He remained focused on the arena.


    It was as if he was looking for an answer in the young men¡¯s fierce battle.


    Dazzling green light rained down in the arena, and the chubby man began to feel considerable pressure.


    However, he refused to be outdone. He circted the energy in his body with all his might and retreated continuously. He was trying to increase the distance between him and his opponent.


    He knew that his maic attraction could only be fully unleashed in closebat.


    His opponent was obviously a warrior who specialized in long-range attacks.


    They were now in a stalemate.


    At this critical moment, Chu Fei shouted from below the stage, ¡°Rush up to him! Use your explosive speed!¡±


    The chubby young man heard this and felt a surge of energy enter his body. He did not hesitate to follow Chu Fei¡¯s suggestion and rushed forward with all his strength.


    Unfortunately, he was not the only one who heard Chu Fei¡¯s voice. His opponent clearly heard it too.


    The young man in red sneered and wore a disdainful smile.


    In an instant, he pulled away.


    Then, he shot the green light in his hand forward.


    ¡°What the hell is this?¡±


    The chubby young man was shocked, and he quickly retreated. He looked back three times with each step and finally stopped at the edge of the ring.


    The tense atmosphere reached its peak. The entire audience held its breath and dared not breathe loudly.


    At the center of the base, all the officers appeared extremely solemn as if they felt the pressure of this battle.


    This was undoubtedly an intense sh between two top-tier gically-modified warriors.


    The special abilities they disyed dazzled everyone present.


    ¡°It looks like the young man in red is about to show his talents in this duel,¡± Wu MO said slowly. ¡°He managed to gain the upper hand because he sessfully pulled away from his opponent. The chubby young man didn¡¯t lose unjustly.¡±


    Wu Mo¡¯s interpretation was actually simr to everyone else¡¯s general understanding.


    On the battlefield, long-range attacks often restricted close-range attacks.


    The only way to turn the tables was to continuously close the distance between them so that the melee fighter could fully disy hisbat abilities.


    Just as Wu MO had predicted, the chubby young man clenched his teeth, and his face was filled with defiance.


    However, the green light surged over like a tidal wave in the next second. He was pushed out of the arena, which meant that he had lost.


    The chubby young man looked extremely disappointed, and he could not speak for a moment.


    However, his opponent remained calm. He did not have the slightest pride or arrogance after winning. He only nodded slightly and smiled.


    Then, he stood in the arena and waited for the next challenger.


    All the gically-modified warriors in the audience were eager to give it a try. They were hoping for a chance to challenge him.


    Everyone wanted to win first ce in the arena battle or at least ce somewhere in the top ten.


    After all, Wu MO had already made it clear that the top ten warriors would have a chance to obtain dual abilities.


    The battle that followed was unusually intense.


    The audience members kept their eyes wide open to prevent themselves from getting distracted.


    They tried to learn key techniques from the battles of these warriors.


    Ultimately, everyone was a little disappointed because the abilities of these gically-modified warriors were still mysterious and unfathomable.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, you¡¯re an indescribable genius! How did you manage to design such diverse and unique special abilities?¡± the officers eximed in admiration.


    ¡°Well, there¡¯s actually another special ability that everyone hasn¡¯t seen yet. I¡¯m curious about what that guy is nning. Is going to give everyone a surprise at thest moment?¡±


    Wu MO smiled, and his eyes shed with anticipation.


    ¡°Wait, there¡¯s still someone who hasn¡¯t revealed his special ability?!¡±


    ¡°Is this person trying to follow the path of a ninja and hide his strength?¡±


    The arena battle was about toe to an end, but this guy had yet to appear.


    All the officers were extremely curious, and they did not know whether to panic or be excited.


    ¡°What is this person thinking? Does he n to appearst and give everyone a shocking ending?¡±


    The arena battle had begun as scheduled after they tested five hundred participants.


    Everyone was going all out to see where their limits were.


    More importantly, they wanted to win Wu Mo¡¯s favor.


    However, this participant who had yet to appear was still standing in the audience. He smiled as he watched the battle in the arena.


    It was as if he was watching a y that had nothing to do with him.


    This mysterious person was called Zhao Liang. He had a very ordinary name.


    There were countless people in the entire Dragon Kingdom with that name.


    However, in Wu Mo¡¯s eyes, Zhao Liang was extraordinary. He had a certain uniqueness that even he himself could not describe.


    Back when he was choosing his ability, Zhao Liang did not hesitate to choose a special one.


    Wu MO felt an indescribable shock when he made that choice.


    He had initially included this particr ability in the bio-modification capsule just to fill up the options.


    It was an absurd n that was almost impossible to achieve in theory.


    However, this seemingly ordinary man, Zhao Liang, had such a firm and intense gaze that it almost made one¡¯s soul tremble.


    In the end, Zhao Liang¡¯s strong willpower pushed Wu MO into a corner.


    They could only imnt the bio-modification capsule that was pretty much considered ¡°trash¡± into his body.


    The entire process put him through hellish pain.


    Zhao Liang was in so much agony that he woke up and fainted again. This cycle of pain and unconsciousness repeated itself a few times.


    Even the researchers at the Institute of Special Biology felt sorry for the first time and wanted to stop everything halfway through.


    However, Zhao Liang held on with his almost inhuman willpower.


    In the end, he obtained a power that matched his will.


    Even Wu MO eximed in admiration. This perfectpatibility was something he had never foreseen.


    After a series of rigorous tests, they were certain that Zhao Liang had seamlessly integrated with his special power.


    However, he had not shown it in public.


    Therefore, apart from Wu Mo, who knew a little about him, the other gically-modified warriors knew nothing about him.


    ¡°Zhao Liang, you¡¯re still not going up? The match is almost over. You should at least give Mr. Wu Mo some face and go up for a stroll!¡±


    A few gically-modified warriors who had been defeated walked down unhappily and spoke to Zhao Liang.


    He nodded slightly before he pped his hands and slowly stood up..</font>

    ¡°Good. Looks like it¡¯s time to show you my true strength.¡±


    When the people around heard him say this, they all rolled their eyes. ¡°Could you dial back your arrogance a little?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right! Didn¡¯t you see the others disy such powerful and diverse abilities? How dare you belittle them and say such words?¡±


    Zhao Liang smiled and shook his head without any further exnation.


    He walked up to the arena, and his opponent was no longer the young man who had released the green rain of light.<div>


    <font <="" div="">


    After all, there were a total of five hundred gically-modified warriors present.


    Not only were they physically strong, but many of them had mastered various shocking long-range attacks!


    Zhao Liang might have overwhelming strength in the field of closebat, but when it came to long-range attacks, he was not in a world of his own.


    After a few outstanding fighters rotated through the arena, Zhao Liang finally encountered a rather troublesome opponent. It was a guy surrounded by ck mist.


    This ck mist was reminiscent of an electromaic wave.


    It affected the activity of all living beings within a thirty-meter radius.


    More amazingly, this guy could use the ck mist to reduce the surrounding temperature.


    The mist also contained traces of electricity, which could cause unbearable pain.


    This warrior had defeated several powerful opponents with his special ¡°Mist Domain.


    He became unstoppable in the arena.


    ¡°Young man, you¡¯re finally ready to make your move after such a long wait. What are your ns?


    The undefeated warriorughed with ridicule.


    Zhao Liang remained expressionless and had no intention to respond to his mockery.


    ¡°Let¡¯s get started. I have to go back and get some sleep after this,¡± Zhao Liang casually said before he got into a battle stance.


    ¡°What?! How dare you patronize me!¡±


    The undefeated warrior was burning with anger. For a moment, he felt that his reputation had been greatly challenged.


    ¡°You really don¡¯t know how big the gap between us is. I might make you lie in bed for a full month before you can recover!


    After that, the undefeated warriorughed sinisterly and instantly activated the special power in his body.


    ck mist gushed out of his body like a storm and quickly filled the entire arena.


    It gave off a sense of oppression as if it could devour everything.


    ¡°Look! The undefeated warrior has finally begun to make his move. That young man called Zhao Liang definitely won¡¯tst long!


    At this moment, all the high-ranking officers on the base began to evaluate the battle from the observation tform.


    One of the officers frowned and softly muttered, ¡°Zhao Liang is obviously not as big as his opponent. Also, he looks unfocused and absent-minded. How could someone like him turn things around in the blink of an eye and defeat that warrior in the arena?


    ¡°Yes!¡± A second officer immediately nodded in agreement. ¡°The undefeated warrior isparable to a fierce tiger in the limelight. He¡¯s about to be the champion of this challenge!¡¯


    Even though the people present were predicting Zhao Liangs failure, Wu MO did not say a word.


    He wore a mysterious smile as if he knew everything.


    How could they understand how surprising Zhao Liangs special ability was?


    ¡°Tsk, tsk. Mr. Wu, what¡¯s with that look?¡±


    Everyone was speechless.


    Wu Mo l s expression was still as confusing as ever.


    No one could figure out his true thoughts.


    At this moment, the atmosphere in the arena was extremely tense.


    The audience generally believed that Zhao Liang would pay a heavy price for his arrogance and ignorance.


    They estimated that he would have to lie in bed for at least a month.


    One should know that the undefeated warrior in the arena had held back when he dealt with his previous opponents.


    However, he decided to show no mercy to Zhao Liang. He wanted this young man to realize how superior he was.


    Thick ck mist spread out like a ferocious beast that was not afraid of death.


    Meanwhile, the audience was numb with fear.


    Despite that, Zhao Liang was as steady as Mount Tai. It was as if the ck mist was nothing more than floating clouds.


    ¡°Hmm, interesting. Your ck mist contains electricity that forms an exquisite electromaic field. What an extraordinary power! Zhao Liang inadvertently praised.


    His words clearly made the undefeated warrior seethe with anger. ¡°How dare you be so arrogant? You¡¯re asking for death!¡±


    Anger rose in his heart, and he decided to inflict more damage on Zhao Liang.


    Originally, he had only nned to make him lie in bed for a month.


    Now, it was going to be three months!


    With that thought, the ck mist in the undefeated warrior¡¯s body surged out uncontrobly.


    His aura became more prominent, and the electric current around him grew more terrifying.


    Suddenly, the electric currentbined with what looked like green lightning. It seemed to have a physical body as it raged in all directions.


    A series of crackling sounds rang out in the sky, and the viewers had theirs hearts in their mouths.


    They could clearly feel the undefeated warrior¡¯s burning rage.


    They were worried that Zhao Liang would be severely injured.


    Yet, Zhao Liang himself did not seem to care at all. He had a curious look in his eyes as if he was exploring something new.


    Right then, the green electric current gathered at a single point and shot out like a venomous snake.


    However, Zhao Liang suddenly disappeared from everyone¡¯s sight.


    That¡¯s right. He disappeared under everyone¡¯s watchful eye!


    The sound of the wind blew past everyone¡¯s ears right before Zhao Liang vanished.


    ¡®What¡¯s going on? What kind of trick is this?¡¯ the undefeated warrior roared in his heart.


    This was even more unbelievable than pulling a turtle out of its shell.


    Everyone was dumbfounded.


    How could one not be surprised that Zhao Liang possessed such an incredible ability?


    ¡°Oh, my God! Seeing how confident you¡¯ve been, you must have known that Zhao Liang had this ability, Mr. Wu!¡±


    The officers finally understood.


    Invisibility was indeed something that could shock others.


    It was a subversion of traditional martial arts!


    They had basically made the Invisible Man a reality!


    Everyone understood that Zhao Liang must have gone through some kind of biological or gic modification.


    It allowed him topletely block out the human eye.


    But at the same time, this invisibility ability did not mean that he had disappeared from the material world.


    In other words, if someone identally attacked his invisible area, he could still be injured or exposed.


    However, Wu MO shook his head andughed it off.


    ¡°You are wrong. His ability is not only invisibility, but also speed! A speed that is enough to make you feel as if he is disappearing!¡±


    What the hell! Speed and not invisibility? This was impossible!


    None of the officers were easily fooled, but they were instantly shocked by Wu Mo l s words.


    ¡°Is Zhao Liangs speed so incredible that he has the illusion of invisibility?¡±


    An officer¡¯s voice was trembling.


    It was as if he couldn¡¯t believe what was happening in front of him.


    Wu Mo l s smile grew wider. ¡°Continue watching the battle. The answer will be revealed..¡±</font>

 Chapter 749 Speed Is All You Need in Martial Arts

    Chapter 749 Speed Is All You Need in Martial Arts


    The scene on the screen changed, and Zhao Liang instantly appeared on the other side of the arena!


    "Stop hiding around!" the undefeated warrior roared in anger.


    Then, a ball of ck mist rushed toward Zhao Liang like a vengeful spirit.


    Everyone in the stands watched with trepidation.


    At the same time, they were also amazed by Zhao Liang''s mysterious ability.


    However, Zhao Liang disappeared again.


    The undefeated warrior''s ck mist seemed to have gone down the drain, all of it missing.


    However, just as the undefeated warrior was fuming with anger, Zhao Liang''s voice rang out.


    "Since you want to fight me so badly, I''ll grant your wish."


    As soon as he finished speaking, the undefeated warrior suddenly fell to the ground and lost consciousness.


    "W-What the hell is this?"


    At this moment, everyone in the audience was dumbfounded. They saw it, but it was as if they did not see anything.


    "Impossible! This waspletely impossible! We didn''t even blink. How did he defeat that warrior?"


    An officer almost howled.


    "That''s right. Is he a magician? Or does he have the ability to attack mentally?"


    Everyone cast suspicious looks at him.


    Even Wu Mo smiled. He seemed to think that the discussion below the stage was a little too much. "You guys have too much imagination."


    "Mr. Wu, don''t hide it anymore. Hurry up and tell me! What''s going on?" an officer shouted impatiently.


    The officers below the stage all revealed a bitter smile. They were really disturbed by this Zhao Liang.


    What was even more unbelievable was that Zhao Liang did not make any obvious movements.


    The undefeated warrior fell to the ground as if he had been electrocuted.


    No matter how one looked at it, this scene felt unreal. It was simply beyond people''s understanding.


    "Haha. I''ve already told you that his ability is speed, an extreme speed that surpasses theprehension of ordinary people. Can''t you guys extend more possibilities from the speed point?"


    Wu Mo chuckled again as if he was mocking everyone''s shortsightedness.


    Hearing Wu Mo''s words, everyone immediately focused their thoughts.


    "I see, Mr. Wu," said an officer. "In other words, his speed has reached an unimaginable level. He can turn his body, or even a finger, into a fatal weapon and instantly defeat his opponent!"


    Wu Mo nodded and confirmed his guess. "When speed reached a certain level, it became energy and power. He doesn''t need any shy moves or techniques, because in front of his speed, all defenses are futile, and all attacks are fatal."


    "In other words, when he said that, he had already used his speed to attack. The undefeated warrior was unable to defend at all, so he directly fell to the ground. This is also reasonable."


    Wu Mo''s exnation shocked everyone.


    After thinking for a moment, everyone felt that it was even more terrifying.


    To imagine a person''s speed reaching such a level, it was almost as if he was doing what he said. No one could stop him.


    What was even more terrifying was that he had such speed.


    In fact, he was almost invincible in terms of defense.


    After all, who could touch him?


    "Mr. Wu, this is terrifying beyond our imagination. What did you think about it back then?" an officer could not help but ask curiously.


    "It''s not that bad." Wu Mo smiled bitterly. "At that time, the super speed gene capsule had just been developed. It wasn''t fully mature yet, so I didn''t rmend it to anyone."


    "Most of the gically-modified warriors had chosen to give up on the speed capsules and instead choose the bio-modification capsules that seemed to have more aggressive and powerful abilities."


    Hearing Wu Mo''s exnation, everyone nodded.


    If it were them, they would be faced with a brand-new and immature choice.


    With so many proven powerful capsules around, they would probably make the same choice.


    Wu Mo smiled and continued, "I didn''t know why, but Zhao Liang was obsessed with this super speed capsule. At that time, I had no choice but to give him this experimental gene transnt. I never thought that the effect would not only be good, but it would also exceed everyone''s expectations."


    Everyone took a deep breath and sighed. "It seems that Zhao Liang is a match made in heaven for the speed capsule. Or rather, he is someone who has an extreme desire for speed."


    Without a doubt, Zhao Liang was standing on the stage.


    His presence made the people around him speechless.


    This was because until now, not many gic warriors had been able to see through how Zhao Liang had done it.


    After all, every gically-modified warrior had to follow strict confidentiality procedures after receiving the biological modification capsules.


    Unless theymunicated with each other.


    Otherwise, it was impossible to know what kind of superpower the other party had.


    At this moment, the "undefeated warrior" was being helped down. He was still unconscious.


    His ck mist also gradually dissipated as he left.


    "Who else wants to challenge me? Please hurry!" the host urged.


    For a moment, everyone looked at each other, feeling a little unwilling.


    They were ready to challenge again to win the fruits of victory.


    "Let me test your ability!"


    Suddenly, an extremely muscr man walked up.


    His special ability was simple but extremely powerful. His fists could be as hard as steel.


    Moreover, the speed of the punch was extremely fast.


    Such an ability was exactly the extremely powerful attack method that he had originally desired.


    There was no doubt that his Steel Fist couldpletely satisfy his needs.


    His steel fists came one after another, iparably fierce, forcing Zhao Liang to retreat to a corner.


    However, this burly man was also very cautious.


    He was constantly on alert for any unusual energy fluctuations around him.


    He would never forget that Zhao Liang had only utter one sentence before the undefeated warrior directly fainted.


    Therefore, he was always on guard.


    Pay attention to whether there is an unknown aura or energy around him that might attack him at any time.


    This brawny man known as Iron Fist not only had hard fists.


    Its entire body had been specially modified, and it could be said to be a monster with extremely strong defense.


    "Fall to the ground!"


    The sound of his iron fists were like thunder, and the muscles all over his body swelled to the extreme at this moment.


    His fist moved at a speed that almost exceeded the limits of human reaction.


    It carried a force that tore through the air as it ruthlessly struck towards Zhao Liang''s throat.


    Everyone present understood that if this punch really hit the target.


    Zhao Liang would most likely fall into aa in an instant and might even have to spend a long time in the hospital.


    However, at this moment.


    Iron Fist suddenly saw an elusive smile on Zhao Liang''s face.


    "What are youughing at? Even if you have any trump cards, can you still dodge at this distance and speed?" Iron Fist roared in his heart.


    He felt that his punch was so fast that it could not be dodged.


    Even the most powerful gically-modified warrior in the world would not have enough time to dodge this attack.


    However, what happened in the next second made everyone''s hearts almost stop.


    Swoosh.


    Just like before, Zhao Liang disappeared without a trace as if he had never existed.

 Chapter 750 Answer Questions

    Chapter 750 Answer Questions


    "...What''s going on?"


    At this moment, the gic warriors below the stage were all boiling with excitement, and the sounds of discussion rose and fell.


    The most awkward one was undoubtedly Iron Fist.


    His fist missed.


    He fell into an extremely awkward situation.


    He quickly steadied his body so that he did not fall even more awkwardly.


    In the next second, Zhao Liang appeared on the other side of the stage with his hands on his hips.


    "Yo, what''s up?" he asked with a smile. "I''m right here. Why can''t you see me?"


    The scene was deathly silent. The silence almost made people think that the end of the world had arrived.


    Iron Fist gritted his teeth, and his entire body trembled slightly.


    He knew that he had beenpletely yed.


    The most heartbreaking thing was that even if he was yed, he could do nothing.


    He knew that this Zhao Liang''s strength was too terrifying.


    The speed he disyed was like something out of a science fiction movie.


    The gic warriors below the stage were also discussing.


    What kind of extraordinary ability did this Zhao Liang have?


    To think that he could make Iron Fist, who was known for his strength and defense, so vulnerable.


    "Ha!"


    Iron Fist was like an enraged beast as it charged toward Zhao Liang once again.


    This time, he didn''t hold back at all. All the power in his body surged out like a flood.


    "Zhao Liang, take this!"


    He roared furiously, and his fists suddenly exploded, smashing towards Zhao Liang like a storm.


    Rumble!


    His fist hit the stage fiercely. It was as if there was an earthquake, and the entire stage shook violently.


    However, Zhao Liang remained unmoving like a mountain. Then, he disappeared without a trace in the next moment.


    "This... What kind of advanced technology is this? Please tell me. I''m willing to admit defeat!"


    Iron Fistpletely copsed.


    Zhao Liang hadpletely broken through his psychological defenses.


    Every time he prepared to attack, Zhao Liang would disappear from his sight like a ghost.


    Subduing the enemy without fighting, this was his current state of mind.


    "Zhao Liang, stop joking. Tell me quickly. I admit defeat, okay?"


    Iron Fist hadpletely surrendered, and the crowd was in an uproar. Then,ughter erupted.


    The audience was also discussing. They were even more curious about how Zhao Liang did all of this.


    In the end, Zhao Liang easily became the new arena overlord.


    The 500-man arena challenge ended here. No one dared to challenge Zhao Liang.


    First ce, Zhao Liang, a mysterious person with an unknown superpower.


    Zhao Liang decided to give everyone an exnation.


    "Everyone, please watch carefully."


    he said lightly and took the first step.


    His second step followed.


    However, just as he was about to take the third step.


    Zhao Liang seemed to have disappeared into thin air and appeared at the other end of the stage in the next second.


    "Wow. Now I understand. His superpower is extreme speed!"


    "Yes, not only is he fast, but his reaction is also extremely agile. There is almost no dy! With such speed, how did his body structure change?"


    "Sigh. I really regret not choosing those speed capsules!"


    The atmosphere was boiling. Everyone was discussing fervently, full of anticipation.


    Zhao Liang jumped down from the arena nimbly, his heart surging!


    At this moment, he knew that he could finally improve himself further. He no longer only had one special ability, speed.


    He decided to choose a more direct attack method, such as fire or ice.


    Finally, this eye-catching showdown came to an end.


    After a while.


    Zhao Liang, Chu Fei, Feng Haifeng, and a few other outstanding gic warriors had gathered in the base.


    All of them were waiting for Wu Mo''s appearance with burning eyes.


    "Hello, Mr. Wu!"


    Every young warrior was full of energy, and their eyes were shining.


    Wu Mo walked in and nced at everyone present. He nodded in his heart.


    The group of warriors before him were the winners who had emerged from the 500 gic warriors.


    "You are the ten people who performed the best in thispetition. Entering the top ten means that you are qualified to obtain the second special ability," Wu Mo said passionately.


    He did not neglect the other 490 warriors.


    However, this special ability required an extremely high fusion probability, and not everyone could sessfully possess it.


    Therefore, only the top ten who performed well were worthy of his investment.


    "Each and every one of you is an elite among elites. I''m extremely proud of you."


    Wu Mo was the first to give them high praise.


    Chu Fei, a veteran warrior, had a deep rtionship with Wu Mo.


    Hearing Wu Mo''s praise, he was also very excited.


    After all, being able to enter the top ten meant that he had not let Wu Mo down.


    Finally, Wu Momented on them one by one.


    First, he looked at the slightly chubby young warrior. "Your closebat ability is outstanding, but you need to learn how to quickly close the distance between you and the enemy on the battlefield. Showing off one''s strength was one thing, but showing off too much would expose one''s weaknesses. Do you understand?"


    "Understood, Mr. Wu!"


    The chubby young man lowered his head in shame, knowing that he was indeed showing off a little too much.


    Wu Mo then turned to the young man in red. "Your attack power is not bad, but underestimating the enemy means making a mistake. Before the other party''s strength is fully revealed, any carelessness could put you in a desperate situation."


    "Indeed, Mr. Wu!"


    The young man in red was deeply convinced and realized his mistake.


    Wu Mo looked around at the other young warriors and gave them the evaluation they deserved.


    In the end, his gaze stopped on Zhao Liang.


    Zhao Liang''s extreme speed undoubtedly made Wu Mo extremely satisfied.


    It was indeed a unique and uncontroble ability.


    However, Wu Mo unexpectedly said such words to him.


    "Zhao Liang, you might think that your speed is invincible, but I have to tell you that there is a type of person whose special ability is your nemesis. Once you encounter him, you have no choice but to die!"


    "What is it? Mr. Wu, can you be more specific? What kind of person can restrain me?"


    Zhao Liang was instantly stunned. He had always felt that he was almost invincible.


    "What if someone''s special ability is to create a small domain and then use this domain to restrict any life form?" Wu Mo''s smile faded slightly, and his tone turned extremely solemn. "Moreover, his attack and defense far exceed yours. What should you do?"


    At this moment, Zhao Liang felt as if his brain had been hit by a heavy hammer.


    His face was pale, and an indescribable fear and regret welled up in his heart.


    "Yes, Mr. Wu is right. Why didn''t you think of this?"


    Zhao Liang felt extremely regretful, as if he could see himself beingpletely restrained.


    Once he was trapped in a limited space, speed would be meaningless.


    The other party could attack at will, while he could only be restrained.


    Moreover, if the other party''s defensive strength far exceeded his own.


    Then, no matter how fast he was, he would not be able to pose a substantial threat.


    Not only did Zhao Liang feel regret, but he also felt a sense of danger.


    He understood that if he wanted to go further on this path of no return, he would have to be careful.


    He had to constantly improve himself and not have any fluke thoughts.

 Chapter 751 A Shocking Ability

    Chapter 751 A Shocking Ability


    "Mr. Wu, I''ve decided. My second ability will be increased physical strength!" Zhao Liang said firmly.


    Wu Mo smiled. He was hoping that Zhao Liang would make this decision.


    He wanted Zhao Liang to understand that true power was not shy but practical andprehensive.


    "A very wise choice, Zhao Liang. Although speed and strength don''t seem like much, they are fundamental in a fight. Even if you encounter enemies who can create spatial domains, you can use brute force to break free from their control."


    Wu Mo nodded in satisfaction.


    When Zhao Liang heard this, he was full of anticipation. It was as if he could already see how invincible he would be in the future.


    "Alright. Is everyone ready? I''ve prepared a second special bio-modification capsule for you. Now, follow the staff to the Institute of Special Biology." Wu Mo waved his hand.


    "Yes, Mr. Wu!" the ten gically-modified warriors answered excitedly.


    They then followed a team of staff members to the Institute of Special Biology.


    There was already another team waiting for them there. These professionals were monitoring and testing the entire process.


    This moment was undoubtedly exciting.


    Even Wu Mo himself was eager for the results.


    Once these young gically-modified warriors possessed two special abilities, how astonishing would they be?


    The news quickly spread throughout the entire research institute.


    Many people gathered around and watched with curiosity.


    Although this had nothing to do with them, who could resist witnessing an era-defining moment?


    The atmosphere in the entire institute was lively due to everyone''s excitement.


    What power would a gically-modified warrior with two special abilities disy?


    Xu Wanqing was no exception.


    She stood in the audience, and her hands trembled slightly.


    The excitement and anticipation in her heart almost overflowed.


    "Don''t worry. It''s just an additional ability. Do you need to be so nervous?"


    A faint smile appeared on Wu Mo''s face.


    Everyone burst intoughter because it seemed that they had been too nervous earlier.


    In Wu Mo''s opinion, this was a normal process. There was nothing strange about it.


    Everyone sat down and silently prepared for their new powers.


    They had gotten used to Wu Mo''s way of doing things, but this time, it seemed different.


    They felt that the original operation had be a brand-new experience under his hands.


    This change made it much simpler, so it was not asplicated as before!


    Wu Mo pondered for a moment and said, "Everyone, pay attention. From now on, we can get an injection or take a pill to improve our abilities."


    "Wow! Is Mr. Wu telling the truth? How can we obtain such power so easily?" someone asked doubtfully.


    However, very few people believed that this was true.


    After all, they previously had to undergoplex surgery and endure a long recovery period to obtain new power.


    Now, Wu Mo was speaking as if it was not a big deal.


    In the end, all ten of thempleted the surgery and received an injection of various biochemical drugs.


    When Zhao Liang went on stage, he smiled and said, "Don''t worry, everyone. I''m not afraid of pain. Getting the biochemical drug into my body is the best course of action!"


    His words reminded Wu Mo of what he had previously thought.


    Zhao Liang cared more about this extreme fusion than pain!


    He seemed flippant on the surface, when in fact, he had a deep mind.


    "Rest easy. You''re all just as strong as the Overlord-ss monsters you''ll face in the future. I''ll help you bring your fusion to the perfect level!"


    Wu Mo smiled and heaved a sigh of relief.


    The remaining ten participants were asked to attend follow-up consultations for a period of time.


    Just then, news from Pirna shocked everyone.


    "Mr. Wu, something has happened. The number of brave warriors in Pirna''s army has exceeded a thousand!"


    "Huh? A thousand? Didn''t they reach that number a little too quickly? I''ll head over right now."


    Wu Mo promptly stood up.


    He looked at the image on the screen and saw numerous terrifying soldiers with an intimidating presence.


    "A thousand people... That''s basically a small battalion!"


    Imagine what it would be like for five hundred people to deal with more than a thousand Overlord-ss creatures.


    They would undoubtedly fail!


    After all, the opponent had twice their numbers. How could they defeat them?


    "Mr. Wu, if this continues, we''ll lose our advantage. Why are we still going through with this operation?" one of his assistants asked.


    Everyone was confused.


    If they could not match those powerful creatures, what else could they do?


    Wu Mo''s eyes shone with determination. He pondered for a moment before he said, "Let''s keep moving forward. Once our numbers increase, we won''t have to be afraid of those Overlord creatures anymore!"


    "Alright, Mr. Wu," everyone replied firmly.


    Following that, they all became even more determined in their research.


    Those ten young warriors underwent surgery, and the team continued to study the biochemical drugs.


    One fine day, the number of warriors finally exceeded seven hundred, and everyone was ecstatic!


    Seven hundred was a rather huge number, and they were all extremely excited.


    "Don''t worry. What happened was just a small hup. We''ll have more gically-modified warriors soon enough. I have faith in this operation!"


    At this moment, both sides were in a race to grow their armies faster than the other.


    Before long, the ten individuals with superpowers walked out of the treatment room.


    As the race came to an end, everyone flocked over to see them out of curiosity.


    They were looking forward to seeing what would happen now that these people had two abilities.


    "Chu Fei, let me see your second skill!"


    Right then, everyone was staring at him.


    Chu Fei nodded with a smile and expressed his gratitude to Wu Mo. Then, he gave those on the base a demonstration.


    Apart from the ability he had already disyed, he had a second skill.


    Thanks to aprehensive capsule, his reflexes and movement speed had greatly increased!


    Meanwhile, his second skill allowed him to disintegrate things.


    That''s right. It was the same disintegration that Wu Mo had mentioned before.


    He could break down any object, turn it into the purest substance, and make itpletely disappear!


    Furthermore, with Wu Mo''s modification, this skill was no longer as difficult to unlock. It did not take a long time anymore.


    Chu Fei proceeded to disy his extraordinary strength.


    He ced a cup into another cup. In the blink of an eye, all the water in the cup was gone.


    Then, a piece of paper immediately turned into shreds as he reached for it!


    Following that, he ced one piece of metal on top of another.


    The metal instantly turned into ash at a speed that left one bbergasted!

 Chapter 752 Can Clone Technology Bring It Back to Life?

    <h4>Chapter 752 Can Clone Technology Bring It Back to Life?</h4>


    "Oh, my God! The speed of disintegration is too fast! Mr. Wu, if I remember correctly, yours isn''t as strong," a researcher said in surprise.


    "Well, I''ve improved my disintegration power by several levels. Nevertheless, this is truly enviable!" Wu Mo said with a smile.


    As he spoke, everyoneughed along.


    After they saw Chu Fei''s performance, the others took their turn. Lei Dahai disyed his second skill, which could make objects disappear.


    Soon, everyone became very interested in Zhao Liang''s ability. They were curious about what he was going to show them.


    His first ability was monstrous.


    Imagine the effect he could achieve bybining his invincible speed with another special ability.


    Zhao Liang smiled and said, "It''s not easy to demonstrate my ability. I''d use pure brute force, but there aren''t any big sandbags around!"


    "We have something to test pure strength. Follow me!"


    A researcher brought them to the room next door.


    "This huge sandbag can withstand eight thousand kilograms of force. You can do whatever you want to it!" The researcher smiled confidently.


    Bai Yunfei subconsciously nced at Wu Mo.


    However, he found that Mr. Wu had an unfathomable smile on his face.


    What was going on?


    A strong ominous feeling filled his heart. Were his eyes ying tricks on him?


    Zhao Liang nodded and walked forward as everyone looked on.


    Whoosh! He punched the huge sandbag.


    Then, something magical urred. The sandbag exploded and turned into a pile of ash.


    The scene shocked everyone, and they were speechless.


    They were all ying it back in their heads.


    "How was that possible? A sandbag was actually disintegrated? Is this a joke?"


    At this moment, everyone was in disbelief.


    After all, the sandbag weighed eight thousand kilograms!


    How powerful was he!


    The Overlord creatures might be very powerful, but he could probably kill them all with one punch.


    "Thank you for your advice, Mr. Wu. It looks like I made the right decision!"


    Zhao Liang expressed his gratitude to Wu Mo.


    "It was ultimately your choice," Wu Mo said slowly. "Besides, you wouldn''t havee this far if you couldn''t endure pain."


    Even the elites of the Special Forces were all envious.


    Chu Fei and Lei Dahai both felt that Zhao Liang''s strength had surpassed theirs as well.


    Right then, good news came from Dark Star!


    Wu Mo''s mining n had finally borne fruit.


    The variousrge cities had undergone a transformation after constant excavation. Now, the city areas were getting increasinglyrge, and they appeared prosperous.


    Eternal Sun had developed so quickly that it was almost on the same level as Earth!


    The threes formed a triangle that made the human race stronger than ever.


    Everyone knew that arge part of it was due to Wu Mo!


    If he had not acted, Eternal Sun and Dark Star would have been destroyed.


    "Yes, Mr. Wu. Something very strange has happened on Eternal Sun."


    Through themunication channel, an officer informed Wu Mo of some peculiar circumstances.


    "Huh? What''s going on? Let me see your file!"


    Wu Mo''s tone sounded indifferent, but he was obviously interested in the matter.


    asionally, a mysterious message would reach his ears.


    There was actually an enormous mountain of ice and snow above the. It seemed to be frozen in time.


    It did not melt even under the zing sun. It was really strange and inexplicable.


    "What''s going on? This is a mountain of snow!"


    Wu Mo was shocked, but a question suddenly crossed his mind.


    "Have you taken samples and analyzed them?" he asked the officer before him.


    "Yes.


    "Mr. Wu, we collected some samples in the beginning and confirmed that this is a mountain of snow. However, it remains the same no matter how much the weather changes. It has shown no signs of melting at all. This is too bizarre!"


    These words made Wu Mo realize how inconceivable this was.


    Why did such a huge ice mountain appear on Eternal Sun?


    "This might be a ce of extreme cold, and it might contain abundant antimatter. We''ll collect more samples and transport them back to our home for in-depth research," Wu Mo suggested.


    As soon as he finished speaking, someone began to take action.


    The process of collecting samples was swift and efficient.


    Soon, a pile of over ten tons of huge samples was transported to the navigation spaceship.


    The moment Wu Mo returned, he threw himself into research!


    After two days and two nights of hard work, one of the researchers finished sorting out all the data and handed it to Wu Mo.


    "I see. Even the sun can''t melt these extremely cold snowy peaks. Usually, it would take hundreds of millions of years to form such a huge snowy mountain!"


    Excitement shed in Wu Mo''s eyes. "This is a form of umtion. It''s understandable that it can''t be refined!"


    After years of umtion, it might be the most powerful antimatter force.


    What was antimatter?


    It was a kind ofposition. Every particle was hidden in darkness without any positive energy.


    Darkness originated from the essence of life and the power of life.


    So, how would Wu Mo deal with this huge ice mountain?


    ''If I don''t kill you, will you forgive me?'' he muttered in his heart. Complex emotions shed in his eyes.


    "Perhaps we can send a powerful expedition team to the mountain''s hintend to collect materials and then mine them," Wu Mo suggested after careful consideration.


    Everyone nodded and prepared to set off.


    Others apart from the Chinese had also gathered in this expedition team.


    Everyone was filled with curiosity. After they returned to Eternal Sun, they immediately approached the giant ice mountain to find out what had happened.


    However, the mystery remained unsolved.


    No one understood why this iceberg was so lofty and sturdy, and why it would not melt.


    What was going on?


    "As Mr. Wu suggested, let''s enter the field and determine the antimatter''s location!" a researcher muttered.


    Soon, the entire snow mountain began to be mined.


    Just as Wu Mo had mentioned, the mineral deposits on the snowy peaks were indeed a precious source of energy.


    Many unimaginable things happened on Eternal Sun, and the mountain began to melt.


    The bones of strange creatures that were several hundred thousand years old were released.


    "Mr. Wu, there seems to be some signs of life left in the remains of this creature. Can we revive it with cloning technology?" an employee suggested excitedly.


    This creature from hundreds of thousands of years ago looked like it could exist in the present.


    Perhaps its body was still intact because it had been frozen.

 Chapter 753 War Is About to Begin

    Chapter 753 War Is About to Begin


    "Alright, let''s clone them. Let''s see just what ruled Eternal Sun hundreds of thousands of years ago."


    Wu Mo smiled.


    Present cloning technology was advanced enough to turn one person''s body into another person''s.


    When it came to ethical issues, experts had exined in detail that this was purely scientific research and it did not involve too many emotional factors.


    Not long after, all the living beings on Eternal Sun recovered from their frozen slumber!


    Everyone gasped, and their eyes filled with amazement. Endless emotions surged in their hearts as they faced these ancient creatures!


    Just then, the creatures did something unbelievable.


    They stood upright on two legs like humans and behaved like they were asking their master for food.


    "Haha! Mr. Wu, they look so silly. They actually want our food!"


    An employee covered his stomach andughed non-stop.


    It could not be helped. The cute little creatures resembled both a cat and a dog. Their bodies were simr to that of a puppy, but they looked like cats.


    Wu Mo wanted to feed them all the food in the world when he saw how cute they were.


    "They''re the ancestors of life on Eternal Sun from tens of thousands of years ago. Unfortunately, their civilization has been destroyed," one of them said.


    Wu Mo had cloned so many creatures to find out what had happened to Eternal Sun and learn more about its history.


    This time, Wu Mo struck gold.


    An antimatter energy thruster had slowly appeared near a cier, so Wu Mo could obtain a huge amount of energy from it.


    Now, they needed to use this power to speed up Eternal Sun''s development.


    In less than a year, Eternal Sun''s development had far surpassed Earth''s. It was simply unbelievable!


    "Mr. Wu, so many people have been moving there in the past few years. I can''t wait to join them."


    While Wu Mo was upied, one of his assistants next to him sighed.


    "I see."


    Wu Mo was confused. Was thefortable life on Earth not enough?


    Did he want his family and friends to be on a foreign?


    "Mr. Wu, there are already quite a number of people living on Eternal Sun. Even the upper echelons of severalrge organizations have gone there. It''s just so enticing!"


    His assistant smiled bitterly.


    "Really?"


    Wu Mo was slightly taken aback. How could those of a noble status possibly live on Eternal Sun?


    In the end, Wu Mo realized that his assistant''s assumption had not been baseless. The representatives of thirty-two nations were actually living quitefortably on Eternal Sun.


    They could obtain special biochemical drugs there!


    Whether it was prolonging their lifespans, strengthening their bodies, or increasing their wisdom and strength, it was all extremely easy.


    What made it more exciting was the current Starry Sky Express. With help from Wu Mo and everyone else, it could quickly deliver goods across gxies. It was highly innovative.


    However, things were not going as nned. They soon received terrible news¡­


    The Divine Sword''s surveince cameras showed that there were tens of thousands of Overlord monsters on Pirna.


    "The moment I''ve been waiting for has finally arrived!"


    In another six months, they would be able to form an army of more than ten thousand people!


    Wu Mo and a few other warriors appeared before the huge light screen and stared nkly at it.


    Everyone had the same solemn and dignified expression on their faces!


    "Mr. Wu, the enemy ising. We''ve rested for so long. We can finally fight!" a senior officer said.


    There was no fear in their eyes. On the contrary, they were filled with the determination to fight!


    "Forget about coexisting. Kill the enemy mercilessly."


    They believed that their conflict with Pirna would manifest soon. It was only a matter of time.


    This was not only a means of self-protection but also a means to make the entire world stronger.


    "Those Overlord monsters are indeed powerful, but there''s no need for us to be humble. Our young warriors are all bing stronger!


    "Even if there are less than ten thousand of them, they will be able to work together and defeat most of the enemies on their own."


    Wu Mo''s words filled everyone with confidence!


    That''s right. There were only five thousand gically-modified warriors at the moment.


    With that said, once there were enough of them, they could easily defeat an army of ten thousand with their numerical advantage.


    Suddenly, someone shouted. "Mr. Wu, bad news! We''ve been discovered!"


    The moment these words rang out, everyone trembled.


    In the next second, everyone saw an Overlord staring at them with its beady eyes.


    Then, it charged toward the Divine Sword!


    Had it truly spotted them?


    What was about to happen?


    Everyone, including Wu Mo, felt helpless.


    It was obviously impossible for Wu Mo to take control of the Divine Sword in a direct counterattack. He could only take a chance. Perhaps their opponent had not seen the real Divine Sword at all!


    Their hearts were in their throats.


    They urgently needed to know if the monster was going to attack Divine Sword!


    If they waited any longer, it would probably be toote.


    Wu Mo felt his heart twitching violently!


    "Oh, no. It really has found the Divine Sword. We need to retreat immediately!" Wu Mo shouted.


    There was no need to guess.


    He could sense the killing intent in the Overlord creature''s eyes.


    Sure enough, the huge monster stabbed its two sharp des at the Divine Sword in the next second.


    However, Wu Momanded the researchers to fly the huge spaceship into the sky!


    Before they left, Wu Mo intentionallyunched a destructive attack with the Divine Sword to wipe out all the Overlord creatures.


    After all, they were mankind''s greatest enemy. He had to do his best to eliminate them!


    Rumble...


    Due to the powerful attack, the Overlord monster suffered considerable damage.


    "D*mn it! A bug that crawled out of a primitive installed such a huge surveince device here. How diabolical!"


    The Pirnaian leader saw the huge spaceship.


    He immediately realized that he had be a target of this primitive civilization.


    "We can''t let them escape. Keep them here at all costs!"


    The burly leader immediately gave the order, and the troops around him attacked!


    Like other powerful creatures, they possessed great strength.


    Some of therger soldiers kicked their legs and flew up as if they were installed with springs.


    "Mr. Wu, take a look at this. There are many Overlord-ss creatures on the ship!" aresearcher suddenly eximed.


    If one looked closely, they would notice that although the Divine Sword was flying in the air, more than a dozen Overlord creatures were attacking it!


    Bang bang bang!


    Loud sounds rang out one after another, and Wu Mo''s heart was beating hard.


    His expression changed. "These reckless b*stards! Activate the defense system immediately! Raise the temperature to the highest setting!" He sneered.

 Chapter 754 Race War

    Chapter 754 Race War


    "Alright, Mr. Wu."


    Then, the spaceship was remotely controlled, and its high-temperature mode was activated.


    This was one of its differentbat methods. Thanks to the extreme heat, the ship''s hull turned red!


    As the temperature rose, the hull gradually turned orange.


    The Overlord-ss creatures screamed hysterically and fled in desperation.


    Some who reacted a little slower were roasted into fat ducks on the spot.


    Fear filled their eyes as some of them did not even have the time to look back.


    "Do you think you can escape? Destroy them with the space cannon!"


    The leader of Pirna would never let the Divine Sword fly away!


    In an instant, dozens of space cannons locked onto the Divine Sword in the sky and went off at the same time. The artillery fire was dense and violent.


    Rumble!


    While it was bombarded by the terrifying artillery, the Divine Sword flew increasingly fast and nimbly dodged the attacks.


    "It''s too fast. I can''t believe a primitive civilization managed to build such a powerful spaceship."


    Everyone on Pirna was silent, especially the researchers. They were all dumbfounded!


    Based on their knowledge, primitive civilizations did not have the technology to build real ships.


    Yet, a spaceship from a less advanced civilization was currently toying around with them.


    "Attack! Attack that ship with all your might. You need to shoot it down. If you let it escape, be prepared to face my wrath!"


    The burly captain roared in anger, and the people around him trembled.


    Immediately after, specially-made armed vehicles rolled out andunched a fierce attack.


    One could say that the Divine Sword was already at its limit, and one careless move would cause it to be shot down!


    However, Wu Mo did not choose to escape as soon as possible. Instead, heunched another fierce attack through the spaceship.


    "Aser cannon just for you!"


    A mocking smile appeared on Wu Mo''s face.


    Then, three explosive sma devices extended from the Divine Sword''s tail!


    Suddenly, three beams of light shot into the sky.


    The Overlord creatures fled in all directions!


    Boom!


    More than two hundred of them failed to escape in time, and the sma beam instantly turned them into ash!


    Then, there was dead silence!


    No one in that area dared to speak. The superpowered fighters stood there in a daze as they looked at those who had fallen to the ground.


    Pirna''s leader was trembling. He pointed into the distance and shuddered slightly.


    "These d*mn humans! Get lost!"


    The leader of Pirna was furious and about to copse.


    He never thought that things would turn out like this!


    "Use the electromaic pulse cannon to st them into pieces!" he yelled.


    However, it was already toote. The Divine Sword had flown out of sight and left them in the dust.


    What annoyed him even more was how the Divine Sword seemed to be mocking them while constantly adjusting its course.


    "Idiots! They''re just a bunch of idiots!" he roared as he gripped the armrest of his chair tightly.


    "Oh, my God! The boss is pissed off!"


    Seeing their leader so angry, the Pirnaians could only smile bitterly.


    There was nothing they could do. The leader was so furious that he made a huge decision in front of everyone.


    "Gather all the Overlord-ss creatures and attack the primitive civilization. I want to destroy them all!"


    Once the tall and muscr leader gave the order, the threes would immediately suffer a devastating blow.


    Even though the humans had left, they could still vaguely see what was happening on Pirna.


    People were moving out one after another.


    Huge spaceships flew into the sky in session, and all kinds of special vehiclesnded on the ground.


    Even the powerful races were boarding huge ships.


    Then, arge group of Pirnaians rushed into the depths of the universe!


    Meanwhile, the Divine Sword increased its speed.


    "Everyone, this is the most crucial moment," Wu Mo said solemnly. This will be our final battle with them and also the best proof of our hard work over the past six months!"


    Everyone quickly got to work. All departments worked closely together, and information flowed between the threes unimpeded.


    In an instant, an extremely sturdy steel defense line waspleted!


    At this point, Pirna was like the sharpest spear, and humans were the strongest shield!


    In this confrontation between the spear and the shield, who could turn the tide?


    This was going to be a life-and-death battle!


    Soon, Pirna''s massive fleet appeared before Wu Mo''s eyes.


    With how the situation was, the Divine Sword could no longer stay in ce. Otherwise, it would risk being caught and destroyed by the Pirnaians.


    "Your mission isplete. Now it''s our turn."


    Wu Mo took a deep breath.


    "Mr. Wu, Eternal Sun is ready for battle."


    "Mr. Wu, Dark Star is ready!"


    "Mr. Wu, our home is ready!"


    Themanders on the bases of the threes reported to Wu Mo.


    After all, he was the suprememander of theary Alliance.


    This meant that they were ready, and all the arrangements were in ce. They were just waiting for their uninvited guest to arrive.


    "Good! This is not a drill or a performance. This is a real cosmic war! We are going to have a showdown with this race and see who will truly rule the universe within a span of thirty light-years!"


    "If we win, I promise to give you a wider universe. But if we lose, don''t me me for being merciless. We will live or die on this hill together¡­"


    His words were sinct and powerful.


    Following Wu Mo''s deration, the threes erupted in cheers.


    Everyone was certain that they would win. Such determination was unprecedented.


    Wu Mo nodded slightly. His resolve became stronger when he saw all this.


    With unparalleled confidence, everything else would fall into ce.


    Just as Wu Mo had expected, the Pirnaians appeared just beyond Eternal Sun''s atmosphere three dayster. They floated quietly in the air.


    As they looked at the red sun, their hearts were filled with envy and anger.


    They would never forget how they had suffered a crushing defeat and gotten captured on this.


    If it weren''t for the fact that their leader had used his special ability, they would have remained prisoners long ago.


    "Activate the battleship formation and attack at full force. st this into pieces!" the leader of Pirna ordered without hesitation.


    His tone was filled with murderous intent.


    "Yes, Sir!"


    Before long, several dozen battleships flew over in a mighty manner and headed straight for Eternal Sun¡­


    "Haha. Since they''re here, let''s show them how powerful we are!"


    Everyone worked together following Wu Mo''s order.


    At this critical moment, everyone understood that they had to go all out and not rely on luck!


    Even so, they were not afraid. The current level of their technology was sufficient for them to fight the Pirnaians.


    Mankind was no longer a primitive civilization. Their technological level had advanced by leaps and bounds.


    Coupled with high-tech equipment, the humans on the threes had a chance of fighting the Pirnaians to the death!


    While Eternal Sun was being attacked, the various factions on the continent began to move as quickly as possible.


    "Mr. Wu, although the enemy is strong, we have a protective barrier. We should be able to block their attacks," an officer reported.

 Chapter 755 Technological Collision Between Two Races

    Chapter 755 Technological Collision Between Two Races


    Wu Mo nodded repeatedly after he heard that and felt extremely gratified.


    The current situation seemed to be under control. They only needed to trap the enemy ships.


    Then, he would use the power of the two stars tounch a continuous attack on the enemy, gradually weakening their strength.


    Rumble! Explosions echoed across the.


    Pirna''s fleet madly bombarded Eternal Sun''s defenses. Everyone hid within the energy barrier in fear.


    However, when they realized that their attacks could not break through the defense system at all, a smug smile appeared on their faces.


    "Haha! You dare toe here and test our defense? What a joke!"


    "They actually came here to crash into a wall again and again. Don''t they know how powerful the protective barrier is?"


    "Whoa. Look at their twisted faces!"


    At this moment, the people on Eternal Sun discussed animatedly. The leader of Pirna was even more enraged.


    "D*mn it! Use our most powerful main cannon to blow this ce up!"


    He had gonepletely berserk, and his first move was a destructive attack.


    All the energy beams were focused on one spot in an effort to destroy the entire!


    Rumble! A massive boom spread across the entire Eternal Sun as the trembled violently.


    Then, it seemed like the entire was about to explode.


    However, upon closer inspection, other than a hole, the was not damaged at all.


    "Oh, no. They''ve activated the protective shield. Attack!"


    Wu Mo''s heart sank. He had to make a move. Otherwise, the situation would be unpredictable.


    Everyone understood that every second was of the essence. Eternal Sun would bepletely defenseless at one point, and they would be exposed to the Pirnaians!


    Thus, hundreds of spaceships flew out from the space base. They were all the gship of the Invincible Space Team, and each of them was on auto-pilot.


    This fleet did not need to fight for their lives, but they were not cking off.


    They had already mastered some kind of technology, and they became one with the spaceships they piloted.


    Their rtionship was harmonious even on the base.


    At this moment, they saw more than a hundred fighter jets flying toward the back of Pirna.


    Boom!


    The Pirnaians were shocked by the continuous shooting!


    "Oh, no! There are spaceships surrounding us from behind!"


    This was like besieging Wei to save Zhao. The battleships in front had no way to fight back and could only turn around to help.


    The leader of Pirna knew the taste of defeat. If he was captured, the entire fleet would be finished.


    He was almost capturedst time, and now he was even more shocked!


    Sensing the attack, he immediately recalled the main force at the front.


    "D*mn it! Make them disappear."


    The leader gave the order to attack the enemy.


    "Haha. He fell for it!"


    Wu Mo was secretly pleased with himself. His n had worked.


    Following that, a spaceship carrying more than five hundred elite gically-modified warriors flew towardEarth.


    However, Wu Mo did not intend to let these talented young people fight head-on.


    Both sides were using force to suppress each other, waiting for the other side to gain the upper hand before sending troops to fight head-on.


    However, Wu Mo would not use such a powerful force in a meaningless battle.


    They could only retreat temporarily and wait for an opportunity.


    If it really didn''t work out, Wu Mo could choose tond on Pirna and turn this Level 2 into his ve, just like how he conquered Dark Star!


    Thinking about how he was facing a Level 2 civilization, Wu Mo was extremely excited.


    "Mr. Wu, the fight has begun. Our firepower is not enough to defeat them. We need your guidance!" an officer reported urgently.


    They were actually at a disadvantage in the exchange of fire!


    "No wonder Pirna''s a Level 2 civilization. They are not to be trifled with!"


    Wu Moforted everyone with a smile.


    Everyone knew how powerful the Pirnaians were. That was the reason for their fear.


    Wu Mo knew that they needed to be mentally motivated, or else they might break down.


    "Okay, Mr. Wu. Do you have any ideas? We have to think of a way."


    The three allied forces attacked Pirna''s army, and themander was a little flustered.


    Wu Mo pondered for a moment. "Attack from the back first. The main force will cover the rear. I will send the Divine Wind Squad to give them a fatal blow!"


    Everyone was relieved.


    The officer nodded. "Understood, Mr. Wu. I''ll carry out your orders!"


    Following that was the operation. Wu Mo saw that the fleet sent to Eternal Sun had been intercepted.


    In arge space base one light-year away from them, Wu Mo''s Divine Wind Squad slowly moved out.


    The Divine Wind Squad was dark in color, and it had a unique style as if it was the most gorgeous assassin in the universe!


    More than a hundred Divine Wind spaceships flew toward Pirna. Although their speed wasn''t fast, they had a rhythm. They didn''t want to sh head-on with the enemy.


    Wu Mo wanted to show off the power of the Divine Wind battleship.


    "Mr. Wu, is this the Divine Wind battleship you developed? It looks very advanced!" a general praised.


    "Haha. Once these spaceships appear, Pirna will be destroyed!"


    Wu Mo''s confidence shocked everyone.


    Everyone was secretly impressed by Wu Mo''s confidence. He actually dared to destroy a spaceship on Pirna.


    The situation on the battlefield became tense. Wu Mo realized that his team could not defeat the Pirnaians.


    "How infuriating! This is a truly difficult fight."


    Wu Mo felt bitter.


    "Use antimatter as the driving force, andunch all weapons on the!"


    A bold idea shed through Wu Mo''s mind.


    The moment this thought appeared, the highestmander on Dark Star was dumbstruck.


    He quickly recovered and acted ording to Wu Mo''s suggestion.


    "Wow, Mr. Wu is too talented. He actually thought of this!"


    Themander sighed.


    Then, the ruins and buildings were thrown into space by the antimatter propulsion system, like a giant bomb explosion.


    "Huh? They''re throwing something out. What is this?"


    The higher-ups of Pirna were puzzled after hearing the report from their subordinates.


    The subordinate told them that they were throwing trash.


    However, if one observed carefully, they would discover that countless dust particles in space were rapidly approaching them. They posed a huge threat to them.


    A few ships quickly dodged them.


    "D*mn it. These guys are shameless. They''re actually resorting to such means!"


    The Pirnaian leader sighed in his heart. He felt far inferior to Wu Mo.


    He had never thought that there would be such a tactic.


    "Haha! Do you think you can disrupt our formation like that? Bring out the hidden weapons!"


    The experts on Pirna were excited. They had been researching new technology, and now it was finallying in handy.


    A huge dustbin appeared in space. It looked like a huge funnel that enveloped the entire space, and it sucked in all the surrounding dust.


    "Oh, no. They have a giant vacuum cleaner. It''s not going to be easy to deal with!" an officer immediately reported to Wu Mo.


    The giant vacuum cleaner was devouring everything!


    Some called it a huge machine, while others called it a giant trash can.


    Wu Mo felt a headacheing on. He quickly ran to check the big screen.


    The Pirnaians appeared to ce huge interest in this strange object!


    He quickly understood how it worked. It had an extremely strong suction force that could devour the dust in the entire space.


    However, Wu Mo did not know what would happen next.


    "Even I would find such a huge thing troublesome. Hehe. Alright, let''s see how much energy it can devour!"


    "Again, I don''t believe that you can swallow an entire."


    Wu Mo''s words caused everyone tough.


    "Mr. Wu is right. Let''s see how much this devouring machine can consume."

 Chapter 756 Are These All Their Trump Cards?

    Chapter 756 Are These All Their Trump Cards?


    In the end, all the dust on the flew toward them.


    By the time Pirna''s leader realized that something was wrong, it was toote!


    "D*mn it! What''s going to happen if we stop absorbing the particles?"


    One of his subordinates didn''t know whether tough or cry. What was going on?


    Shouldn''t their opponent retreat in this situation?


    However, they did not expect these people to actually fight head-on instead!


    In that case, Pirna could not be confident.


    Although their super vacuum cleaner looked powerful, its devouring ability was limited!


    At this rate, the vacuum device might explode.


    The Pirnaian leader''s pupils contracted, and a strong sense of danger filled his heart.


    This time, their enemy had gathered the strongest forces on Earth here. Their goal was to upy this area and turn these three ces into their own territory.


    If the humans failed, all thes of this Level 2 space civilization would be destroyed.


    Either way, there was only a bad oue for them in this war!


    Now, he was faced with an extremely terrible piece of news.


    "D*mn it! In that case, let''s absorb it with all our strength and see what else they have!"


    They were crazy. They actually wanted to fight head-on.


    The surrounding people were shocked. A few experienced Pirnaians tried to persuade their leader.


    "Sir, we''re no match for them. We have to retreat immediately and stop them with firepower!"


    His words made sense, but it was a pity that the leader of Pirna did not hear them at all.


    His eyes were already dyed red with blood, and various scenes of ughter kept shing in his mind!


    "How can this be? We can still use the vacuum cleaner to suck energy and suffocate them to death!"


    Sigh!


    He was going to die in despair.


    Everyone looked at each other and did not know what to say.


    If Wu Mo heard this, he would definitely burst outughing.


    The leader had fought with humans for so long, and he had his own unique way of thinking!


    "Mr. Wu, since they won''t give up, let''s surrender all those waste mines!"


    Wu Mo nodded without hesitation.


    "Yes! Let''s see how many of the abandoned mountains they can swallow!"


    Wu Mo''s lips curled into a smile. He really wanted to know how strong these Pirnaians were!


    If the giant vacuum cleaner could suck an entire mine away, he would just count himself unlucky.


    "Mr. Wu, how long will it take for us tond? We can''t wait to go to Pirna!"


    At this moment, Chu Fei sent him a message. Wu Mo and the others were all smiling.


    "Brat, stay here obediently. Everyone is waiting. Moreover, the mission this time is to be the vanguard. The entire army hasn''t been mobilized yet. What are you in a hurry for?"


    After Wu Mo finished speaking, Chu Fei and the others rxed and waited patiently.


    At this time, the giant vacuum cleaner in the universe had been sucking up the dust in space!


    This time, it reached a critical point.


    The surface of Pirna seemed to be distorted as if it was about to copse.


    At this moment, the leader of Pirna finally realized that the situation was not good and felt a little regretful.


    If he had known this would happen, he wouldn''t have let the vacuum cleaner run to this extent.


    However, it was toote to retreat now.


    He had only forced this power out. If this continued, it would definitely cause a huge explosion.


    However, as the dust flew over, it turned out to be one ore vein after another!


    "Ah! They''re too much of a bully to throw the mountain here!" an elder shouted angrily.


    This method was truly infuriating. Only a low-leveled civilization would think of it!


    The burly Pirna leader''s eyelids twitched. He had actually fallen into the pit he had dug, so he could only continue to push in.


    "D*mn it, d*mn it! Fire at full force. Kill them with the high-energy particle cannon!"


    Pirna used its most powerful weapon, the high-energy particle cannon.


    The purple light beam was the size of a head. When it shot out, everyone on Dark Star could feel the powerful cosmic rays!


    "Mr. Wu, this is bad. They have super cosmic radiation, which is stronger than our weapons!"


    After suffering a huge loss, he immediately reported the situation to the headquarters.


    "Ah! Ultra-power radiation!"


    After listening to themander''s description, Wu Mo looked surprised.


    Since he mentioned that they were stronger, Wu Mo realized that Pirna had reached new heights of power.


    "Great. The high-energy radiation wave is their true trump card. The things hidden in the dark were the most terrifying. Now, all we have to do is wait for our counterattack!"


    Wu Mo''s eyes shed with determination.


    Those who were familiar with Wu Mo knew.


    Under such circumstances, he would definitely use all his skills to fight a life and death battle with the Pirnaians.


    As expected, the Kamikaze immediately rushed over and surrounded Pierna''s leader!


    Then, a hundred Divine Wind battleships lined up andunched a terrifying attack.


    Ta!


    The powerful firepower inside the spaceship was simr to aser cannon, but it was different.


    This was a uniqueser weapon developed by Wu Mo, which was rarely seen in space.


    Wu Mo had spent a lot of effort to obtain and store some.


    It could be said that the lethality of theseser cannons might not be as high as sma cannons, but they had terrifying effects!


    Thisser was radioactive.


    That''s right. Although the person hit by theser would not die immediately, the energy released would spread further.


    It could be said that this was a terrifying technology that could destroy an entire area in an instant!


    Under the bombardment of theser cannons, several spaceships on Pirna were sted into pieces.


    "Sh*t! Where did those spaceshipse from?"


    At this moment, nobody on Pirna believed that the Divine Wind Squad came from this primitive.


    They suspected that this was an attack from another advanced civilization!


    "We''re attacking a few natives. Please make way. We''ll fight to the deathter, okay?"


    At this time, the people of Pirna had already sent people to negotiate with the Divine Wind Squad.


    When Wu Mo and the others heard this, they could not help butugh!


    "These guys are quite smart. I''ll y along for a while," Wu Mo said as he cleared his throat.


    "Warning, warning! You have entered our territory. This is our newly established temporary base. Please leave immediately!"


    Wu Mo''s shout silenced the researchers in theboratory.


    Then, a burst ofughter erupted in theboratory!


    "Haha. Mr. Wu is a great actor!"


    Everyone thought so.


    Wu Mo''s n was truly vicious. He was doing this to confuse the Pirnaians.


    All of them looked at each other with puzzled expressions!


    "Wait. Sir, this ce seems to have been upied?" someone suddenly said.


    Pirna''s leader frowned.


    When they discovered this area, no one had upied it yet. How could it be suddenly upied?


    Did someone else upy this part of the universe while they were researching the new species?


    "How did this happen? We''re actuallyte!"


    He punched the dashboard and gritted his teeth in anger.

 Chapter 757 An Award-winning Deceiver

    <h4>Chapter 757 An Award-winning Deceiver</h4>


    "This is bad. This is their territory. If we keep fighting, there will be an invasion. Other factions might attack us!"


    The advisors of the Pirnaian leader all made suggestions.


    Some advocated for their attack to continue. Even if there was an invasion, it would depend on who was stronger!


    Power was the only thing that could make the enemy speechless.


    Others wanted to give up on the invasion of the threes because they had already been upied.


    At the end of the day, their leader had to decide.


    However, he had to carefully consider it because a single mistake would mean losing everything!


    "Let''s take a look at their fleet. Judging from their spaceships, they seem to be as strong as us!" the leader of Pirna slowly analyzed.


    Everyone nodded. Their fleet was not inferior to Wu Mo''s fleet.


    "Everyone, please take note. These spaceships are incredibly formidable. Most importantly, these sma cannons are unusual and more powerful than ordinary ones!" a researcher said seriously.


    The energy beams formed an arc on the screen and covered an area of several hundred thousand square kilometers. It was amazing!


    Everyone on Pirna fell silent after they saw the energy beams.


    They knew that their attacks could not cover such a vast area or produce such destructive power.


    "Alright. Let''s try to negotiate with them. It would be best if we could resolve this through a negotiation!" the leader of Pirna ordered decisively.


    "We''re not here to invade. We just want to talk to you. Is that okay?"


    His suggestion surprised everyone on the base, because they had no idea how to deal with it.


    Everyone looked at each other andughed out loud!


    "This guy is adorable, Mr. Wu. Are you nning to negotiate with them?"


    "I know what to do." Wu Mo nodded.


    "We can talk, but we have to see how sincere they are!"


    Wu Mo then said, "While you''ve had the audacity to invade our territory, I''m a merciful person. I''ll give you a chance. Tell me, where can we talk?"


    Wu Mo''s serious tone made it sound like he was the leader of an advanced civilization in the universe.


    He was really trying to goad them!


    After they heard Wu Mo''s words, the Pirnaians contemted for a while and quickly decided on a location.


    It was arge spaceship that had beenpletely built by Wu Mo and the others.


    Obviously, the Pirnaians had no ill intentions. They were being sincere!


    "Haha! They''ve been tricked!"


    Everyone burst intoughter.


    No one expected the battle to end in such a manner.


    "Mr. Wu, this is exciting. I never thought this confrontation would turn into a battle of wits!" Someone chuckled.


    However, the Pirnaians had pitifully low intelligence. They had no idea that they were already being controlled by others.


    "Alright, I''ll prepare a ship for you. But only a few are allowed to enter. If you don''t agree with our condition, we''ll reconsider!"


    Wu Mo''s words were reasonable, and he deliberately used a few words that were not found in the standard intersternguage to increase his persuasiveness.


    As expected, the Pirnaians were convinced.


    In the end, they decided to send their leaders and elders over to begin negotiations.


    "Can you tell us where your ship is?" someone immediately asked.


    Wu Mo sent him a star map, which showed a huge battleship parked five million miles away.


    No one would have thought that there would be a spaceship there. On top of that, it was from another civilized!


    Ten fighter jets escorted Pirna''s main battleships as they flew toward the spaceship.


    A small ship stopped about a kilometer away from the spaceship.


    The fleet carrying Pirna''s leader and eight elders headed toward it.


    Just then, a fight broke out. Pirna was prepared, and they sent out more than ten battleships!


    Wu Mo had set a trap. "Resistance is futile. Even if you want to kill me, your spaceships are no match for me!"


    The Pirnaians revealed terrified expressions and retreated after they heard what Wu Mo said.


    Unfortunately, there was no way out. They had no choice but to enter the ship and negotiate!


    Wu Mo had nned this discussion long ago.


    They had to build a colonial base there no matter what!


    Otherwise, it would be humiliating if so many teams rushed back and forth without gaining anything in the end!


    "Mr. Wu, what should we talk about? What should we do?"


    Themander was confused, and he did not understand what Wu Mo was nning.


    Wu Mo pondered for a moment and said,"Since this ce is closest to us, go ahead on your own. I''ll propose a specific n, and you can do as you see fit!"


    "Huh?! Mr. Wu, are you asking me to put on an act?"


    The officer was shocked. He had never been in such a situation before.


    Wu Moughed. "Don''t worry, don''t worry. This is life. Think of yourself as the best actor, and we''ll be your loyal fans. Just wait and see!"


    "Haha! Mr. Wu is hrious!"


    Everyoneughed.


    No one would have thought that this was the most outstanding scientist in the world!


    "Alright, Mr. Wu. Please don''t me me if I act terribly."


    Themander''s expression darkened.


    Thus, the Pirnaians sat down at the table and waited for their arrival.


    After a while, they realized that there was still no one around.


    Apart from two other individuals, there was no one else!


    The Pirnaians carefully observed them for a while and realized that these two guys were somewhat simr to humans.


    "When will your representative get here?" an elder asked patiently.


    Unexpectedly, the human subordinate replied curtly, "Our master will definitely be here. You just have to wait patiently."


    "Hmph! How arrogant!" an?impatient elder shouted angrily.


    They quickly shot him a warning look.


    It was as if they were hinting at him to avoid doing anything stupid. This was not his territory. Did he think that he could escape?


    He really thought that this was his home!


    In reality, the humans were not making them wait on purpose. Themander was just on his way!


    "Hurry up and start acting, or else, we''ll be exposed!"


    He was piloting a high-speed battleship, and soon, he arrived before the negotiation ship.


    Themander tidied up his getup and asked his subordinates to calm down before he walked in.


    Everyone''s eyes were focused on him.


    Themander was shocked by the scene, but when he recalled Wu Mo''s advice, he felt that there was nothing to be afraid of!


    He coughed lightly and said, "I believe everyone understands that we are another advanced race in the universe. We conquered this a long time ago, so we need to upy it."


    As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere on the ship became solemn.

 Chapter 758 Deal

    Chapter 758 Deal


    "We have no intention of invading. This is just a misunderstanding."


    Seeing that these people were eager to exin themselves, themander was secretly delighted.


    Wu Mo and the others were also following the situation closely.


    They knew that they already had it in the bag.


    The Pirnaians had assumed that they were from a highly advanced civilization, and this gave the Pirnaians a sense of fear.


    How could they gain the upper hand in the negotiation when they were gued with fear?


    Wu Mo smiled and fed the n to themander through themunicator.


    "You shouldpensate us and leave this ce. Otherwise, we''ll start a war, and you won''t be able to bear the consequences!"


    Why was there going to be another war? For a moment, everyone was speechless.


    They felt that the Pirnaians had just been impulsive and had no ill intentions. Why were they speaking so harshly?


    "I''m sorry," one of the Pirnaian elders said with a smile. "We mean no harm. But if you want to start a war, things might get out of hand."


    Being members of a Level 2 civilization as well, those on Pirna were worried.


    Even if they were in the same territory, there was no need to be so ruthless, right?


    Themander''s heart skipped a beat. Was he trapped in the spaceship?


    One should know that the battleship was not very sturdy!


    Therefore, he wondered what the answer to Mr. Wu''s question was.


    Wu Mo smiled when he saw this.


    "Those people just want to fight for more benefits," he said slowly. "But they''re currently not strong enough to bargain with us."


    With that, he ordered themander, "Do it!" Let them see our strength. Don''t be afraid. They won''t dare make a move!"


    Themander almost copsed when he heard his order.


    He never thought that Mr. Wu would choose to use force.


    ''What? Mr. Wu actually wants me to threaten them with force. This-This is impossible!''


    He felt a mix of emotions. It surprised him that Wu Mo was so decisive and taking immediate action.


    Even though he was extremely conflicted, there was no way out. He could only follow Wu Mo''s instructions.


    "If it''s a fight you want, it''s a fight you''ll get."


    The burly leader of Pirna could no longer hold it in and stood up angrily.


    "Are you trying to start a war with us?"


    With a furious roar, the Pirnaians raised their weapons and aimed at Wu Mo''s men.


    This was human territory, so more than ten soldiers aimed their guns back at them.


    Any sudden moves could lead to fatal consequences.


    Although the Pirnaians had strong physiques, they were still ordinary living beings. They would not be able to survive such a fierce attack.


    Right then, everyone was stunned.


    The Pirnaians knew that if they resisted, the nearby army would not show mercy.


    "Sir, we weren''t being serious. There''s no need to be so anxious. Please have a seat!"


    An elder hurriedly stepped forward to ease the tension. He smiled awkwardly and struggled to speak.


    After their little conflict, the atmosphere in the ship changed slightly, and themander soon regained control of the situation.


    "We''re reasonable people. But considering that you ended up here unintentionally, you should give us somepensation!"


    Hearing this, the Pirnaians smiled bitterly.


    Themander wanted reasonablepensation no matter what.


    Remember, everyone on Pirna dreamed of settling down there. They never thought that this young man would ask forpensation instead of a fair deal.


    "Very well, Sir. We can provide sufficientpensation, but we''re hoping to make a deal with you. What do you think about that?" the elder said slowly.


    He looked straight into themander''s eyes and tried to pry for more information.


    To his disappointment, thismander had never been a militarymander.


    He was actually an experienced psychologist.


    He knew that his eyes had revealed too much information. He could not let the Pirnaians seed!


    Using themunicator, he subtly asked Wu Mo for guidance on dealing with this matter.


    Over on the base camp, something crossed Wu Mo''s mind when he saw the scene.


    Since it was a negotiation between two equal parties, the Pirnaians had to make a higher offer. If that happened, they should go along with it!


    ''If you have money, we can trade. If you don''t, get lost!''


    "We can test their strength. If they''re not up to our standards, we won''t trade," Wu Mo said.


    "Alright, Mr. Wu!"


    Following Wu Mo''s suggestion, themander sneered.


    "You want to buy an entire from us and make it your home. However, you''re also aware that our is home to an extremely advanced civilization. What right do you have to buy it?" he said.


    The Pirnaians were happy to hear this.


    If he agreed, the following matters would be easy to handle!


    "We''re willing to trade more than a hundred battleships," the leader said without hesitation. "What do you think about that?"


    Hmm?


    More than a hundred ships?


    Themander was immediately interested.


    A hundred battleships were no joke!


    "Mr. Wu, they would like to have Eternal Sun in exchange for a hundred advanced battleships. That''s an astronomical offer!"


    Everyone on the base discussed animatedly.


    They could not help but fall in love with the shocking proposal. Their hearts were beating fast.


    "These Pirnaians are truly rich." Someone sighed.


    Wu Mo could not hide the shock on his face either. Their offer really caught him off guard.


    The Pirnaians were an extravagant race. There were at least five hundred more support ships behind these one hundred battleships.


    Wu Mo was secretly delighted. Since they were so rich, they had to splurge and disy their wealth in front of everyone.


    "A hundred ships seem too little," Wu Mo slowly said. "Tell them that they must have no less than a hundred and fifty ships!"


    His words made everyone tremble in fear like a heavy bomb.


    "A hundred and fifty?"


    They were all shocked.


    It was not a small number.


    Themander was worried, and he had a bitter smile on his face.


    Wasn''t this request a little too much?


    Even though he felt reluctant, he still conveyed Wu Mo''s message.


    However, everyone else had a conflicted expression on their faces. Wasn''t Wu Mo''s request ridiculous?


    A hundred battleships was already an incredible offer, but now, he wanted fifty more?


    "That is our final price. If the Pirnaians don''t agree to it, we''ll let them go.


    "But we still have to ask for some kind ofpensation that''s appropriate!" themander said coldly.


    He hadpared himself to an outstanding actor from the beginning.


    This carefully nned transaction had yed out ording to Mr. Wu''s instructions.


    He knew that life was like a huge y.


    Everyone had their own role, and they needed to perform to the best of their ability.

 Chapter 759 Burrying a Pit and Waiting for the Enemy to Jump

    Chapter 759 Burrying a Pit and Waiting for the Enemy to Jump


    Therefore, the elders on Pirna had no choice but to hold an emergency meeting.


    After the humans left, they began to discuss fervently.


    "What should we do? They want 150 ships. Should we agree?" someone asked with concern.


    "This is absolutely uneptable! A hundred and fifty battleships should get us twos!" anothersaid without hesitation.


    "Sigh. It''s a pity because we''vee so far. We''ll lose face if we don''t even get a single!" Someone else sighed helplessly.


    Soon after, everyone present froze.


    How could they forget?!


    The support of the various races on Pirna had made them the administrators of the ce.


    If they messed things up, they might be dismissed during the n meeting. That would not be worth it!


    Therefore, an elder immediately stood up and resolutely agreed to the humans'' request.


    It was a dramatic decision.


    Everyone was surprised to learn about it.


    All of the races on Pirna were willing to offer one hundred and fifty battleships in exchange for Eternal Sun.


    "What? They actually agreed?"


    Once Wu Mo and the others heard this, their jaws dropped. Who would have thought that the Pirnaians were so rich?


    "Mr. Wu, do you think we should hand Eternal Sun over to them?"


    He was now in a difficult position.


    After all, Eternal Sun was well-developed.


    It would be a pity to trade it away.


    Furthermore, there were several countries on the. This was not something a single team could decide!


    They were in an extremely awkward situation.


    Everyone was racking their brains for a way to deal with this thorny subject.


    Wu Mo pondered for a moment and said, "I''ll contact the people from theary Alliance and assure them."


    "Understood, Mr. Wu. We''ll leave you to it!"


    "We have to think about this carefully," themander said. "We''ll make a decision in an hour!"


    Meanwhile, Wu Mo contacted the members of theary Alliance.


    Everyone was shocked when they heard what he had to say!


    "What? Mr. Wu, you want us to build a military stronghold on Eternal Sun for ten battleships in return?"


    The leader of arge country seemed confused.


    Was it worth it to exchange ten battleships for a military stronghold on Eternal Sun?


    No one could give a definitive answer in a short period of time.


    Their minds spun rapidly as they figured out how to solve the problem before them.


    "Wow! Ten battleships? We can''t build such ships on our own, not even a single one of this level!"


    Therefore, they immediately summoned their staff and held an emergency meeting.


    Those who heard about this were extremely excited!


    They knew that the level of their technology had been stagnant for a long time.


    Ten high-tech battleships for a base was a huge return!


    "Agreed! The value of ten advanced battleships far exceeds that of ournd," ahigh-ranking figure said decisively.


    "Alright, I''ll discuss this with Mr. Wu immediately and see if we can get a fair deal!"


    Everyone knew that they needed to take action.


    Therefore, they had no choice but to give up the precious resources on their bases for the battleships.


    Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to make any technological breakthroughs!


    It took Wu Mo less than thirty minutes to reach an agreement with the members of theary Alliance.


    They all agreed to trade their strongholds on Eternal Sun for the battleships.


    "That''s great. Now that I''ve taken control of these strongholds, I can sell Eternal Sun!"


    Wu Mo smiled and gave orders to themander.


    Afterward, he made the wise decision to trade Eternal Sun for one hundred and fifty battleships!


    "What? Mr. Wu, are you actually going to give Eternal Sun away? Is this really not a joke?"


    Wu Mo nodded without hesitation, and themander was incredulous.


    One should know that there were already more than 150 battleships on Earth.


    It was more important to maintain the bnce of the threes with Earth as the center!


    Once they lost Eternal Sun, the Pirnaians would be able to establish their own stronghold.


    When that happened, the Dark Starlings and everyone on their home would find it hard to eat and sleep in peace!


    However, Wu Mo only smiled and said, "What do you think? Of course, we won''t sell it. However, we can pretend to retreat and thenunch a counterattack!"


    "Haha! Mr. Wu, you''re ruthless. If you chase them out after you rob them, they''ll definitely be furious!"


    Themander found it hard to control his emotions after Wu Mo finished speaking.


    However, as an "actor," he immediately restrained himself and behaved professionally.


    He cleared his throat and continued, "Today''s your lucky day. We will provide a fair deal."


    The residents of Pirna were dumbfounded when they heard this.


    Lucky?


    What did this mean?


    Eternal Sun wasparable to a giant dragon, they had finally obtained a new space colony.


    It was an achievement that they could be proud of because this was the only thing that mattered to them.


    They did not have to do anything for the sake of mankind or someone else. It was enough as long as they could protect their status!


    Anyone and anything that stood in their way would be removed.


    "Alright. We can begin the transaction now. However, you have to evacuate everyone on this and allow our people to set up a garrison here!"


    One of the elders was in charge of Pirna''s affairs.


    Immediately after, themander gave the order.


    He issued it in front of everyone, and that put the Pirnaians at ease.


    "Everyone on Eternal Sun, leave all your assets behind and evacuate immediately!" themander shouted.


    Not long after, a huge transport shipnded on Eternal Sun and evacuated everyone.


    "It seems so simr to the primitive race we met before!"


    The higher-ups of Pirna gasped at the sight.


    They still could not wrap their minds around it at this point. How could a primitive race have such advanced technology?


    They only told themselves that those enved Earthlings must have copied their appearances to be like this!


    Yes, that had to be it.


    After everyone left, the Pirnaians descended on Eternal Sun.


    When they discovered arge number of antimatter and dark matter equipment, they were all very excited.


    "Huh? It looks like we''ve experienced no loss in this trade. Why are there so many dark matter equipment?"


    "That''s right. Dark matter equipment isn''t easy to get, but we can restore dozens of spaceships over here!" someone said happily.


    The entire base was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.


    Wu Mo could not help butugh.

 Chapter 760 Firepower Suppression

    Chapter 760 Firepower Suppression


    "Mr. Wu, the Pirnaians are really interesting. They''re treating these treasures as their own?" ageneral finally spoke.


    Wu Mo nodded and sneered. "That''s why we have to teach them a lesson!"


    "Mr. Wu, what do you think we should do now?"


    The generals beside him were all rubbing their fists and waiting for orders.


    Wu Mo could clearly see that the Pirnaian fleet was gathering andnding on Eternal Sun''s surface.


    Wu Mo shook his head, "Now is not the best time to act. We''ll wait until everyone from Pirna has arrived."


    "Alright, Mr. Wu."


    As everyone fell silent, the people from Pirna continued to fly toward Eternal Sun.


    The variouss, including Dark Star, were unusually quiet. It was as if everyone was walking on eggshells.


    The residents of Pirna did not prepare much and simply chose tond.


    To them, this was a normal thing.


    Once they set foot onnd, the first thing they had to do was explore the resources on this.


    "Wow! This is an oil field with rich mineral deposits!"


    The Pirnaians found a treasure trove, and they were immediately overjoyed. They could not wait to report to their leader.


    After the elders and leader rushed over, they were all delighted.


    There were many unexploited mines, which contained valuable oil.


    Considering that they were part of a Level 2 civilization, they could already begin using the facilities.


    However, they still found it necessary to study such a resource-rich ce in depth.


    As a result, their hearts were filled with joy when they realized that they had be the masters of Eternal Sun.


    This was the only eptable justification for their existence.


    "Sir, you have made a wise choice. We will always support you and revere you!" a Pirnaian subordinate said respectfully.


    The leader of Pirna smiled when he heard this. "Hehehe¡­"


    However, a loud bang suddenly rang out in the next moment. The ground began to shake as if the end of the world had arrived!


    "D*mn it! What''s happening?"


    Even though the leader of Pirna was tall and muscr, his heart almost stopped beating when he heard the noise.


    The shaking ground made everyone tremble.


    They turned around and saw raging mes as well as chaos!


    "How did this happen? What''s going on?" someone said in surprise.


    "Quick! What are you waiting for? Put out the fire!" someone shouted. Everyone then rushed to the base.


    However, they were only halfway there when a bomb fell from the sky.


    The Pirnaians were scared out of their wits. They all used their special abilities to move and dodge!


    If not for their abilities, they would have died in the sea of fire long ago.


    "Oh, my God. This is unbelievable. How could this Level 2 civilization be so despicable?!"


    Everyone who witnessed the scene realized a terrifying fact.


    The humans had broken their promise andunched an attack!


    "Impossible! How could they break their promise to give us a colony?" an elder said in disbelief.


    The fact that he could not understand how a human could do such a shameless thing caused him more despair.


    Yet, their thoughts had been based on assumptions.


    Humans were indeed part of a Level 2 civilization, not a Level 1 civilization.


    Everyone had different views on this, though.


    Wu Mo only cared about his own future. He did not care about such a nefarious promise.


    "Mr. Wu, have everyone surround Eternal Sun!" an officer urged with a hint of sadness on his face.


    "What''s happening? What''s happening?"


    Wu Mo was confused, and he did not understand what Bai Yunfei was talking about.


    "After this battle, Eternal Sun will be in chaos, and all our efforts will be wasted," ady spoke with a heavy heart.


    This soldier had once been in charge of a project on Eternal Sun. Now that she had seen everything, she felt extremely emotional and regretful about leaving.


    Wu Mo said, "The only thing we can do now is destroy them here. Otherwise, no matter how prosperous Eternal Sun is, it will one day be reduced to ruins!"


    Themander nodded, and a murderous look shed in his eyes.


    He knew that it was all Pirna''s fault. Their invasion had caused all this chaos.


    "Invincible Space Team, surround them from the left with thirty ships. Then, attack them from the front with fifty ships. Prepare theser cannons!"


    Themander was clearly outstanding as he temporarily took over Wu Mo''s duties.


    Meanwhile, Wu Mo calmly observed the situation from themand center.


    He locked his gaze on a few key locations on Pirna.


    "Mr. Wu, all the ships from Pirna are hovering around Eternal Sun. It looks like their spaceships are equipped with a huge energy supply device that can sustain them for a long time."


    Wu Mo nodded repeatedly.


    This was very important.


    If Pirna did not have such power, the Pirnaians would not have easily started a cosmic war.


    "It doesn''t matter. Our goal is to destroy their fleet and leave them nowhere to escape in space." Wu Mo said firmly.


    Over on Eternal Sun, the Pirnaians fled in all directions in fear.


    At the same time, they cursed the humans'' despicable actions.


    "D*mn it! Attack them immediately. All fleets are to charge over and knock these shameless beings down a level!" the leader of Pirna roared.


    He could not believe that an advanced race would use such an underhanded tactic to deal with him.


    Soon, his fleet began to move. It left the''s surface and headed toward the humans'' fleet.


    Before long, the Pirnaian fleet arrived, and both parties engaged in a fierce battle above the.


    "Strange... Why do they have such weapons?"


    The Pirnaians were shocked to see the hundreds of human battleships suppressing them below. They had no room to even catch their breath.


    At this moment, they knew that they were finished.


    "Run, My Lord! We''ll protect you! Otherwise, you won''t be able to escape!"


    A Pirnaian man had tears in his eyes. They never expected things to develop this way.


    Earlier, they had lost 150 battleships! The higher-ups of Pirna were heartbroken.


    "D*mn it! What kind of bullsh*t is this? I''m beyond angry!"


    He had learned how to swear.


    In the next moment, he waved his hand and turned the pain in his heart into his strength.


    "I want them to pay the price. Our fleet will form a sharp formation and charge straight at their home!"


    As soon as Pirna''s leader finished speaking, a murderous intent shed in everyone''s eyes.


    Their faith coalesced into a force that formed a wave of change in their spirits!


    As expected, their fleet formed a sharp dagger and tore the human fleet apart.


    "Something''s wrong. They''ve broken through our defenses, and they''re flying toward our home."


    The news sent the entire base into a state of panic. Only Wu Mo remained calm.


    To the human race, Earth was their foundation. They would never allow other races to invade it.

    Wu Mo smiled and said, "Do they see themselves as worthy? If they think that they can attack our home, they''re delusional!"


    It was obvious that Wu Mo had set up eighteenyers of defensive fortifications on Earth.


    Even if ten Pirnaian ns joined forces, it would still be difficult to infiltrate this.


    It was Wu Mo''s home, so he would naturally take precautions.


    "Deploy the Divine Wind Squad. Kill as many of them as you want. Don''t hold back. Fight with all your might!" Wu Mo ordered.


    Following his orders, the Divine Wind Squad quickly set off. Nearly fifty fleets marched toward their destination.


    However, more than ten thousand kilometers away from Earth, they encountered Pirna''s team and formed a sharp force!


    "Look! They''re trying to attack our home. What a joke!" someone teased.


    "Haha. Mr. Wu is just toying with them. Do you think they can hurt us?" another person mocked.


    "Keep attacking. Destroy all these alien creatures!"


    The order was passed down, and space was filled with all kinds of light beams and terrifying weapons. Nuclear bombs, sma explosions, and super cosmic rays intertwined.


    As the battleships were hit, they trembled violently before they exploded into pieces.


    Pirna''s vanguard had encountered a powerful obstruction.


    The Divine Wind Squad blocked their way, and the two sides engaged in a life-and-death struggle.


    Meanwhile, Pirna''s main ship still stood tall on Eternal Sun.


    A group of burly elders quietly watched the battle that would decide their fate.


    Around them were dozens of ships with thousands of Overlord-ss creatures.


    Everyone was waiting for the final oue in silence.


    Suddenly, the leader received an urgent message.


    "This is bad. Our vanguard has been stopped by the enemy''s strange spaceships. We''re fighting up in space, but we''re no match for them!"


    The leader almost bit off his tongue when he heard the news.


    "D*mn it! How did this happen?"


    He was furious, but he was helpless.


    At this moment, a sudden change urred!


    "My Lord, the situation isn''t good! It looks like they''re about tond."


    An urgent report came, but the leader smiled disdainfully.


    "Since they''re trying tond, we''ll wait here!"


    His words made the elders'' blood boil.


    "Haha, that''s great. We''ve waited long enough. We can finally make our move!"


    Yes, their trump card was about to appear.


    Everyone from Pirna had suffered greatly in this battle!


    They felt that they had unexpectedly lost thepetition before they could reveal their trump card. As such, they felt reluctant.


    Their greatest hidden weapons were the five thousand Overlord monsters.


    Everyone was filled with confidence as they watched the massive army gather on Eternal Sun.


    The Pirnaians were quite certain that they would not fail.


    Going to war with this army was self-destructive!


    In their opinion, if Wu Mo continued to circle his ship around, it would only be drained of energy.


    But now, the situation waspletely different!


    "Mr. Wu, aren''t you being too anxious? We''re in a great position now. If wend, their powerful creatures wille to y!" someone reminded with concern.


    Wu Mo smiled and calmly shook his head.


    "Don''t worry. You don''t understand those gically-modified warriors. You''ll be watching a good show soon!"


    His words piqued everyone''s curiosity.


    They all wanted to know what Wu Mo''s trump card was.


    The fierce battle between hundreds of martial artists in the arena still echoed in everyone''s minds.


    They knew that this group of young people had all kinds of special abilities.


    Some could control mes, while others could turn their hands into ice.


    There were also some who were so strong that they could exert several thousand kilograms of force in one strike.


    Then, there were those who were extremely fast like lightning.


    However, they were facing a group of powerful creatures!


    However, the knowledge they learned did not seem reliable enough to be used against others.


    Nevertheless, when everyone saw how confident Wu Mo was, all their worries disappeared.


    "That''s right. With Mr. Wu around, what do we have to worry about?"


    They all hadplete faith in him.


    "Alright, Mr. Wu. We have received your orders, and we''re gathering. We''re preparing tond and fight them!" everyone replied in unison.


    Chu Fei was extremely excited to hear this.


    He was abative person. Perhaps just like the Pirnaians, he had an urge to conquer others!


    Therefore, he was not afraid when he heard that a battle was about to start. In fact, he looked forward to it a little.


    They were simr to the young males, who upied one-fifth of Pirna''s total poption.


    They were not afraid at all. They only licked their lips and emanated a terrifying murderous intent!


    "Haha. Let''s show them how powerful we are!"


    Zhao Liang smiled.


    The chubby young man, Lei Dahai, the young man in red, Chu Fei, and the others gathered next to him. They were ready for battle.


    Everyone understood that this was a crucial battle, and they could not afford any missteps!


    Wu Mo looked at the scene with mixed emotions, and his eyes turned red.


    He had nurtured all these young people in the past. Now, it was time for them to grow up!


    Wu Mo was aware of their strength, so he was not worried about losing.


    Nevertheless, he wanted to protect the lives of these young people as much as possible. He would not allow them to be injured in the battle.


    Finally, a great battle erupted, and dust billowed in the sky above Eternal Sun!


    Everyone was extremely nervous.


    The burly man in the lead narrowed his eyes, and a menacing light shed in his eyes.


    Not long after, a huge airship slowlynded.


    "Attention, everyone. My order is to destroy mankind''s entire civilization with the sharpest weapons in our hands!


    With this order, everyone''s passion burned.


    "Pirna is the best, and Pirna will definitely win!"


    Their fiery slogan made all the Pirnaians go crazy. Even the emotionless creatures were jealous.


    For now, their bodies were filled with pure killing intent, and they would do anything to tear their opponents apart!


    Like a giant beast that could destroy the world, they were showing their most ferocious side to humans.


    At this moment, Wu Mo was on the big screen, and he appeared anxious.


    This was the most powerful hand-to-hand battle between the twos. Who wouldn''t be nervous if they fought head-on?


    Furthermore, given the circumstances, if they failed, the consequences would be unimaginable. Everyone needed to consider it carefully.


    "Oh! Mr. Wu, the old chief ising!" someone suddenly shouted.


    As Wu Mo turned his head, he was surprised to see the old chief walking in.


    The old chief seemed calm, but there was a hint of worry in his eyes.


    "Wu Mo, do you think we can win?"


    He was usually calm, but even he could not control his emotions at this point.


    His words revealed the uneasiness in his heart. It did not seem like the humans had a chance of winning!


    Their chances of victory were getting slimmer by the minute.


    After all, their greatest advantage was the cooperation of the fleet, not closebat.


    In terms of closebat ability, humans might not be as good as those Overlord creatures.


    Wu Mo''s words shocked him.

 Chapter 762 The Strongest Warriors Within Thirty Light-Years

    Chapter 762 The Strongest Warriors Within Thirty Light-Years


    "Chief, don''t worry. We won''t fail. I bet that our young men are the most powerful warriors in thirty light-years!" Wu Mo shouted loudly.


    His words surprised everyone. No one within a thirty-light-year span would believe that.


    "Not bad! That''s great! Wu Mo, I have faith in you. China will definitely do its best to help you. We''ll all do our best!"


    Those present were also stunned by the old chief''s response.


    Wu Mo''s was touched, and he had confidence in his "children."


    The battle between the two sides had already begun on the big screen!


    "Go! Kill all those ugly monsters! Brothers, attack!"


    Chu Fei was experienced and powerful, so he rushed to the front.


    Before long, he was already engaged in a fierce battle with an Overlord-ss creature!


    Everyone gasped and held their breaths.


    This was their first battle, and if anyone was defeated, their morale would suffer a huge blow!


    Chu Fei exerted all his strength and pushed his hands forward.


    The humanoid monster had a fierce expression on its face as it mmed its body into Chu Fei''s hands!


    However, a strange phenomenon suddenly urred.


    The Overlord''s body slowly began to dissipate, and its expression was filled with fear as if it had witnessed something terrifying!


    Unfortunately, it was toote.


    The Pirnaians had originally been jubnt.


    In the next moment, their expressions changed drastically. They did not even have time to react!


    "D*mn... Our warrior has disappeared," one of the higher-ups eximed.


    However, there was no turning back now!


    The Overlord warrior gradually vanished in Chu Fei''s hands. It turned into a pile of ash and drifted with the wind.


    Behind it, a group of Overlord creatures witnessed the scene, and they were all dumbfounded!


    When Chu Fei rushed over, all of them avoided him as if he was their nemesis. They were fearful of him.


    Seeing that Chu Fei had easily defeated a terrifying monster, everyone else was full of confidence!


    Lei Dahai released terrifying lightning from his hands and trapped an Overlord monster.


    The young man in red used his superpower andunched a long-range attack!


    Meanwhile, the chubby young man used a powerful suction force to pull in those around him.


    "Hurry up. I''ve pulled them in. Do it!"


    Everyone fell silent. They never expected him toe up with such an idea.


    However, his support provided Zhao Liang with a huge boost, and Zhao Liang followed it with a merciless attack!


    Their synergy was impable, and it left a deep impression.


    They could see that the chubby young man had sucked in more than ten Overlord-ss monsters.


    "You worm!" Zhao Liang yelled in anger. "Go to hell!"


    The term "worm" was usually an insult reserved for lower life forms.


    His words awakened everyone''s fighting spirit, and they all felt extremely excited!


    Zhao Liang himself could block all the close-range attacks in the world. His punches were also simple and effective.


    Everyone witnessed the Overlord monster let out a shrill scream as it was attacked. Then, it copsed and disappeared!


    Pirna fell into a deathly silence.


    "My Lord, this is not a favorable situation," an elder said worriedly.


    "Don''t worry." The leader of Pirna smiled bitterly. "There are many of us. What''s there to be afraid of? All we need to do is attack!"


    However, he knew that he was just consoling himself. The situation was more dire than he imagined.


    Even though they outnumbered their enemies by five times, their enemies pierced them like sharp daggers and threw them into chaos!


    "Mr. Wu, our soldiers are too powerful. Although those monsters are scary, they seem weak!"


    "Yes. We will win this war!"


    The old chief listened to Wu Mo''s response, and he was ted.


    Relief washed over him, and he was in high spirits.


    "Well done, Wu Mo. I''ll reward you on behalf of the military!" the old chief praised.


    All thebat units, including the military officials, had also put in a lot of effort.


    Everyone would remember this war, and it gave China hope!


    They wanted to let the non-humankind know that humans were not to be trifled with.


    "Oh, no! The enemy seems to have a trump card!" Wu Mo suddenly said.


    "How is that possible? But don''t you have one too?"


    Everyone was stunned, and they did not understand why Wu Mo would say that.


    When they saw the scene, they couldn''t help but exim!


    "Oh, my God! That''s golden armor! What powerful monsters!"


    Chu Fei was troubled and speechless.


    Golden-armored monsters slowly descended from the sky above Eternal Sun. There was a cold and ruthless glint in their eyes.


    Besides, they were not small in stature. There were about a hundred of them, and their bodies were simr to that of humans!


    However, their appearance gave off a heavy sense of oppression.


    "This is bad! These guys are powerful. All of us have to focus!"


    Chu Fei''s expression turned serious. He stretched out his hand and gestured for everyone to follow him. He stared at them without blinking.


    They could still defeat more than five thousand Overlord monsters one by one.


    However, these one hundred golden-armored monsters were challenging enemies.


    Everyone on Eternal Sun began tough!


    "Weren''t you arrogant? Watch as I deal with you. You''ll learn what a true expert is!"


    Yes, these were the super soldiers that they had painstakingly created. These were upgraded versions.


    They were of the highest level and were the only killers with red eyes.


    A group of radical Pirnaians had experimented with them back on Eternal Sun.


    A super soldier could exert a maximum force of five thousand kilograms with his arms. It was a frightening number.


    In addition, they could dodge attacks at lightning speed and leave afterimages in the air. It would be impossible for others to catch their movements.


    This was their first appearance. But such warriors would soon be famous throughout the world and shake the universe!


    ording to the researchers on Eternal Sun, these super soldiers were almost invincible within a range of thirty light-years.


    With that, the battle reached its climax!


    "This is not good!" Chu Fei eximed. "The enemy is too strong. Let''s retreat to a safe area and observe the situation first."


    However, as soon as he finished speaking, one of the super soldiers arrived before him.


    "Hahaha. A bunch of little ants are about to be our food!"


    The leader of the super soldiers wore a strange and terrifying smile, while arrogance flickered in his eyes.


    Although these super soldiers had astonishing strength, they were horrifying to look at.


    Those with faint hearts would have been scared out of their wits.


    When Wu Mo and the others saw this from the headquarters, they gritted their teeth in anger.


    "D*mn it! I didn''t expect them to have such terrifyingbatants. This has to be their trump card, right?" one of the generals asked.


    Wu Mo nodded, but there was no fear in his eyes. He was still full of confidence in his team members.


    In the sky above Eternal Sun, all the super soldiers began to attack the human army.


    At the same time, the artillery fire in the air did not stop. The battle between the two sides was unusually intense.


    Both parties were under immense pressure due to the artillery fire. If they were careless, their opponent''s morale would increase, which could lead to fiercer attacks.

 Chapter 763 Weve Lost, We Have to Leave Immediately!

    Chapter 763 We''ve Lost, We Have to Leave Immediately!


    In this battle, both sides could not easily show weakness. Victory had to be theirs!


    However, in war, the fate of victory and defeat was very fragile.


    At this moment, the super soldier suddenly pounced on Chu Fei.


    Its sharp ws and teeth were like the bony fingers of a Grim Reaper. It stabbed them forward with great ferocity.


    Anyone who was hit by such an attack would have a bloody hole in their body!


    However, Chu Fei quickly dodged it the next moment.


    Then, he swiped his left foot at the super soldier like an iron whip. It created an earth-shattering boom.


    Bang bang bang! The "iron whip" hit the super soldier, and Chu Fei revealed a proud smile.


    "Hehe. How does it feel to be beaten up?"


    However, his smile instantly froze!


    "Huh?! How is this possible?"


    The super soldier''s face was still filled with fear, but there was a fierce light in his eyes.


    Chu Fei''s attack had no effect on him.


    "How could this be?!"


    Chu Fei froze on the spot.


    Even though he desperately wanted to retreat, it was toote.


    The super soldier quickly extended its hands and grabbed Chu Fei by the shoulders. He pulled hard and lifted him into the air.


    "This is bad. I''m afraid Chu Fei is in danger!"


    The chubby young man was standing beside him, and he immediately became rmed. Heunleashed a powerful maic field and tried to pull the super soldier in.


    The Overlord super soldier had intended to fly into the sky, but this suction force held him back. He instantly slowed down.


    "Hmm? What just happened?"


    The super soldier''s heart stirred, and a trace of coldness shed in his eyes. He turned around to finish off the chubby young man.


    At this moment, another young man nearby shone with a green light.


    It turned out that the man in red was using a long-range skill.


    Every time he attacked, there would be a dazzling beam of light, which gave the super soldier a headache!


    Finally, the super soldier was forced to retreat as it could not take another step forward.


    At the same time, a few young human warriors fought fiercely with another super soldier.


    One could imagine the power of a single soldier.


    Not only did they have a strong defense, they were also much smarter than other Overlord creatures!


    Even though it was tough for the youngsters to face an expert of such a level, none of them chose to give up.


    Instead, they exerted all their strength to suppress these super strong soldiers.


    "Let''s attack together!"


    At this moment, all the youngsters did their best to inject the energy that Wu Mo had provided into their bodies.


    Seeing this, Wu Mo could not help but tear up.


    "These people are the backbone of humankind. They''re fighting for all of our safety!"


    Wu Mo sighed.


    When everyone heard this, they were all silent.


    It was true, was it not?


    Without them, how could they enjoy a peaceful life?


    It was precisely because of this group of people that the human race could continue to prosper.


    The current situation was very critical. A few young men were seriously injured like Chu Fei, and they could not participate in the battle.


    They had to watch as the super soldiers were so ferocious and intimidating!


    A burst of mockingughter came from Pirna.


    Meanwhile, the morale of the human race had fallen to a low point.


    At this moment, a figure suddenly soared into the sky and let out an angry roar!


    "Follow me!"


    Everyone was stunned by this sentence and looked forward carefully.


    Isn''t that Zhao Liang?


    As expected, Zhao Liang rushed out and led the others into the fray at the critical moment.


    Wu Mo and the other generals looked at the scene on the big screen, and their eyes turned red.


    By now, Zhao Liang had risked his life to disy his strength and defeated three super soldiers.


    Then, he led the others and rushed out!


    The momentum and battlefront that the super soldiers had painstakingly builtpletely copsed.


    Endless fear soon spread like a tsunami.


    Those on Pirna had been delighted.


    However, the joy on their faces did notst long. They froze on the spot with bitter smiles on their faces.


    "My Lord, that human is too powerful. Look at his attack earlier!" An elder sighed.


    At this moment, everyone saw Zhao Liang''s figure rush into the sky like an afterimage.


    When several super soldiers tried to stop him, he suddenly disappeared. When he reappeared again, he punched them fiercely!


    He knocked those super soldiers to the ground with one punch after another.


    "I''m not willing to ept this. If you''re capable, let''s have a fair and square battle!"


    Amid the crowd, there was a super powerhouse who had clearly surpassed the other mutated warriors. His punch had a force of six thousand kilograms.


    "Haha! That human is dead for sure. Darfini can deal over a thousand kilograms of force!"


    Seeing this, the elders of Pirna got so excited that they could not control themselves.


    However, just as Darfini and Zhao Liang''s fists collided, Darfini let out a shrill scream.


    One of his arms had been severed.


    He was sent flying, and he left a trail of blood in the air.


    A satisfied smile appeared on Zhao Liang''s face. His figure shed as he chased after Darfini.


    "Hahaha¡­"


    The people behind him immediately burst intoughter.


    After the strengthening process, Zhao Liang''s strength had reached almost ten thousand kilograms.


    Darfini actually dared to provoke Zhao Liang... He was simply asking for humiliation!


    With Zhao Liang at the center, the others followed suit and finally defeated the enemy.


    "We''ve failed! My Lord, we''ve lost. We have to leave this ce immediately!"


    At this point, regardless of whether the Pirnaians were willing to admit it or not, the oue of the war could not be changed.


    Now, they had to escape this battlefield as soon as possible!


    "Sigh. Why is this happening? How did this happen?"


    The burly Pirnaian stared nkly at his cruel reality.


    He had brought a powerful fleet with him from the very beginning, and he had dreams of colonizing the area.


    However, the humans toyed with the Pirnaians, and they were forced to give up 150 spaceships. They deserved it!


    "I won''t let this go. I want revenge!"


    The leader of Pirna had seemingly fallen into a state of madness!


    The group of elders could also feel that something about him was off, and they retreated in session.


    They wondered if their leader had gone crazy. Under such circumstances, it was better to escape first!


    Therefore, all the elders abandoned their leader at this critical moment and saved themselves.


    The battle scene was chaotic. The super soldiers were scared out of their wits and fleeing continuously. Zhao Liang had disyed unparalleled strength after all!


    He wasparable to the god of war, and the aliens dared not confront him head-on.


    "Impressive, impressive. Mr. Wu, this is all thanks to you!"


    The military officials on the base were all excited as they watched the battle.


    If Wu Mo had not fused his special ability with Zhao Liang''s body and greatly increased his strength, the war would have turned outpletely different.


    That''s right. Zhao Liang had single-handedly led all the young warriors and defeated the powerful enemy!

 Chapter 764 The Peach Pickers Are Here Again

    Chapter 764 The Peach Pickers Are Here Again


    This battle was alreadying to an end.


    The artillery fire in the airpletely defeated the enemy.


    Wu Mo''s fighting spirit soared when he saw this.


    "Let''s enjoy the fruits of our victory. We''re about to defeat a great race!"


    Wu Mo''s words were not quite urate. It was not that he was about to win but that victory was already in his grasp.


    At this moment, the Invincible Space Team and the Divine Wind Squadunched their strongest attacks!


    As for the Pirnaians, they had no way to retreat. They were forced into a corner, and they could no longer resist.


    "Kill them all!"


    Following the humanmander''s order, hundreds of battleships rose into the air and bombarded the ground.


    The Pirnaians were in a desperate situation!


    "D*mn it. These people are infuriating. Kill them!"


    Some of the Pirnaians had been forced into a desperate situation, and they had no choice but to fight the humans to death.


    They understood that even if they fled, they would only end up dead.


    In that case, it was better to fight to the death!


    In such a situation, the human side would suffer heavy casualties.


    However, Wu Mo could not tolerate such an oue. He could ughter his enemies, but he could not allow his young warriors to suffer any harm!


    "Retreat!" Wu Mo immediately ordered. "Destroy them with the high-energy particle cannons!"


    His decision shocked the generals around him.


    Wu Mo''s killing intent was truly terrifying!


    They were well aware of the terrifying power of nuclear radiation. Such an explosion couldpletely wipe out all surrounding living things.


    Following the order, ten terrifying flying devices soared into the sky with intense radiation. They then locked onto the direction of the fleeing Pirnaians.


    Immediately after, ten destructiveser beams poured down without hesitation!


    Boom!


    The beam of light streaked across the sky and shot down all the aircraft.


    Some residents of Pirna did not even have time to scream before they werepletely engulfed by the terrifying explosive force.


    At this moment, Pirna was heading toward destruction!


    Even though they were Level 2 civilization and a few of them could travel through the fourth dimension, they could not stop all of this from happening.


    Spacetime travel could protect them from attacks, but they could not fight back.


    They could only watch helplessly as theirpatriots were killed.


    Meanwhile, there was a sh of excitement in Wu Mo''s eyes!


    First, he had seized control of Eternal Sun and defeated Dark Star. Now, he had defeated the higher-ranked Pirna.


    It was not easy for humans to achieve what they had.


    To conquer the universe, they had to rely on the power of science.


    Yet, they were now using what they considered the most basic technology.


    It was a miracle!


    "Mr. Wu, what should we do now?"


    The chief''s eyes were filled with anticipation.


    They had defeated Pirna, so the next step was crucial.


    Pirna was far away from Earth, and it was not part of the three-way alliance like Eternal Sun and Dark Star.


    Nevertheless, the main force on Pirna had been destroyed.


    Would it not be a pity to just let it go?


    Wu Mo was momentarily stunned before he nodded. "Help me locate Pirna immediately. Keep an eye on it. Don''t let a single Pirnaian escape!"


    "Alright, Mr. Wu."


    Everyone tensed up when they heard his orders.


    They understood. Before they hadplete control over this, they would not allow any other forces to take over.


    At the same time, Wu Mo immediately called for a meeting with the higher-ups of theary Alliance.


    After they received his notice, the representatives of various countries rushed to China to attend the meeting. They were all incredibly nervous.


    They all knew what had happened on Eternal Sun.


    Even though they had given up their territory, many of them still witnessed the terrifying scene.


    It was as if the Chinese youths had been possessed by superheroes, and they were able to defeat those terrifying advanced alien soldiers!


    It gave them a huge shock.


    Everyone realized how powerful China was!


    If China wanted to unify the Earth, it would be a piece of cake.


    Therefore, when news of the meeting was released, the leaders of the various countries rushed over.


    Next, Wu Mo personally stepped forward, and everyone guessed what Mr. Wu was about to say.


    They could not understand what China was hiding at such a critical moment.


    Everyone was selfish, and they hoped to benefit from the situation.


    They were dealing with a powerful civilization, so it would be great to obtain their research results!


    How could Wu Mo do such a foolish thing?


    China had paid a huge price for its final victory. How could the Chinese just sit back and let them enjoy the fruits of theirbor?


    "Hehe!" Wu Mo chuckled and swept his gaze across the crowd. "I believe you''ve all seen the battle earlier!"


    Everyone cried out in surprise, and an ominous feeling welled up in their hearts!


    They had a feeling that Mr. Wu was going to cause trouble!


    "Director Wu, there was nothing we could do. We really couldn''t have helped in such arge-scale war!"


    The others also expressed their agreement.


    "That''s right, Mr. Wu. You can''t me us. You''re stronger than us!"


    "That''s right, Mr. Wu. China is too powerful. We would only be a burden if we followed you into battle!"


    "Mr. Wu, forgive us for being blunt. We wanted to help you, but as you can see, we couldn''t have turned things around."


    The representatives of various countries tried to find excuses to shirk responsibility.


    However, Wu Mo only observed their reactions coldly until they finished speaking.


    "You couldn''t attack in battle, but you couldn''t have lent a helping hand in the rear?"


    His words left everyone present feeling awkward, but they could not refute him.


    Under such circumstances, they were indeed unable to fight Pirna head-on. They could only provide support in the form of transportation and replenishment.


    However, Wu Mo found it hard to ept that all the resources were given to China.


    Several of them had a troubled look, and they did not know what to say for a moment.


    Wu Mo tapped on hisptop and announced the meeting''s main agenda.


    "I''ve gathered everyone here to discuss this!"


    "Huh?! Mr. Wu, has our cosmic technology reached such a level?" One of the national leaders was surprised.


    He noticed a star more than ten light-years away.


    It was an enormous advanced. Many advanced civilizations that were beyond human understanding lived on it.


    Following Wu Mo''s slow introduction, everyone had a preliminary understanding of this world.


    "This is Pirna. They have invaded our territory, but we''ve destroyed their main force."


    As Wu Mo''s voice fell, the conference room erupted!


    "Not bad! You''ve done an excellent job, Mr. Wu. If we eliminate all of them, we canpletely stop worrying about mankind''s safety!"


    Someoneughed.


    Seeing how arrogant he appeared, the Chinese generals had the urge to kick him out!


    They had been hiding and fighting, and now they had finally won.


    However, he was acting as if he had been in solidarity with them. What did this have to do with him?

 Chapter 765 Target: Pirna

    <h4>Chapter 765 Target: Pirna</h4>


    "The most important thing now is figuring out a way to seize their original territory," Wu Mo said as he stared coldly at the man.


    Everyone immediately understood the purpose of the meeting.


    Mr. Wu gathered them there for this!


    For a moment, they all began to ponder.


    Some thought about ways to conquer that.


    To do that, one needed to have great power.


    However, all the other countries admitted that they could notpare to China, and they could not do much!


    "Although you''re technology isn''t as advanced, you have enough human resources to provide us with the most vital materials. I need to hire more workers to support us."


    Hearing this, everyone understood that Mr. Wu was recruiting people.


    This time, they did not n on pushing the me to China and allow them solve the issue themselves.


    Thus, after some thinking, they could only nod helplessly.


    At first, they were reluctant, but when they saw Wu Mo''s attitude, they became dissatisfied.


    If this continued, negotiations would fail!


    However, under such circumstances, they dared not object.


    At this moment, a national leader had a sh of inspiration and came up with a n!


    "Mr. Wu, since we already have our own spaceship, can we send one to that with your main fleet?"


    All the representatives from the various countries focused their gazes on Wu Mo.


    That''s right. In the pasr, no one could have evene close to China!


    Wu Mo used Eternal Sun as a trade and gave the other countries ten battleships.


    This way, these ten battleships would be able to meet up with Wu Mo and the others on Pirna.


    Wu Mo smiled, but his heart was cold.


    These people were actually using the spaceships they had provided in exchange for benefits. Wasn''t this obvious?


    "Alright. Once your battleships have made a great contribution, we might consider giving you a piece ofnd."


    "Hehe. Thank you very much, Mr. Wu!"


    The representatives of the various countries were ecstatic.


    Most of these people had their own spaceships. Although they were a lot less powerful, it was better than nothing.


    Then, Wu Mo made an announcement.


    They would form a huge space expedition team that would head to the next and upy it. This would be their future stronghold.


    When this news was released, the entire world went into an uproar!


    "Oh, my God! Mr. Wu is amazing. China''s technology is limitless!"


    "Yeah, that ce is ten light-years away. Even light takes ten years to reach it. Can you imagine how far it is?"


    "Alright. We''re not nning to go to either Eternal Sun or Dark Star. Once you leave, you can nevere back."


    Many people began to have second thoughts.


    For those with no emotional attachments, they yearned to step into another world and start their lives anew.


    However, most people had their concerns and did not want to leave just like that.


    Wu Mo naturally would not force them. His n was notplete yet. He still had to conquer Pirna.


    At this moment, Chu Fei, Zhao Liang, and the other powerful gically-modified warriors were leading the entire fleet to protect them.


    They smiled and continued to fly toward Pirna.


    Wu Mo and the others remained in themand center to monitor the situation and issue orders.


    "Director Wu, we''ve encountered a ck hurricane in space. Our spaceship is shaking violently as if it might lose control at any time. Please make a call!"


    An officer at the front of the fleet called for help.


    As expected, several spots on the star map shook violently, and the flight path became distorted.


    It was obvious that they had been attacked by some unknown energy and they could lose control at any moment.


    Everyone''s expression changed drastically. It was a pitch-ck space hurricane!


    Had they really encountered an unexpected crisis?


    They knew that this universe was filled with countless dangers.


    It seemed like some red dwarfs had suddenly exploded at the end of their lifespans.


    It also looked as though they could only release terrifying rays when it was condensed to the extreme!


    However, there was another space hurricane named the ck Hurricane!


    Certain tiny particles would release an unstable force when they split up. Then, they would be blown away by the interster wind, which would result in arge-scale movement.


    Once they were sucked to the extreme by a ck hole, they would form a huge ck hurricane.


    If they were swept into it, they would no longer be able to escape. They might even causerge-scale destruction.


    Wu Mo was also very worried because he knew that if he didn''t handle it well, this fleet might bepletely wiped out.


    If they died there before they could conquer Pirna, that would be a joke!


    Wu Mo said without hesitation, "Then let''s go at full speed. We don''t care about direction or energy consumption. We''ll keep going until we pass through the ck hurricane!"


    "Yes, Mr. Wu!"


    The officer heaved a sigh of relief.


    The so-called full speed was to pay the greatest price of energy to burst out at the fastest speed!


    In space, unless it was absolutely necessary, it was very likely that all the energy would be exhausted, so it would not be used easily.


    Not long after, under Wu Mo''smand, the spaceship quickly passed through the ck hurricane area and continued forward.


    At this moment, his speed was extremely fast, making people''s blood boil!


    "Haha. You''re so fast. Mr. Wu, you''re really amazing. You can actually pass through the chaotic space. You''re really powerful!"


    In themand center, themander and a few adjutantsughed excitedly.


    "Sir, can we speed up and reach Pirna as soon as possible? Logically speaking, our antimatter energy should be enough to meet our needs!"


    An adjutant pondered for a moment and asked.


    Everyone fell silent. One of them checked his energy cabin and found that one-third of the energy had been consumed.


    He had no choice but to slow down and recharge the engine before starting it again.


    "Better safe than sorry! If we can''t reach Pirna, we''re done for!"


    Themander smiled helplessly.


    Everyone had no choice but to obey the order.


    Then, they saw a huge ck shadow slowly approaching them.


    When Wu Mo received the photo, his face turned green.


    "How much risk is it to go to Pirna? Why didn''t I notice it at all?"


    Wu Mo started to have doubts.


    Could it be that he had ulterior motives?


    In order to prevent humans from invading their home, the people of Pirna had deliberately created a terrifying crisis.


    But all of this was too unbelievable.


    Wu Mo began to wonder if the energy of a could create such a terrifying thing.


    Did this mean that they were no longer at the second level?


    Instead, it was the first level, and it had even reached the top level.


    Until now, Wu Mo still found it hard to believe. He had always thought that the cosmic storm was just a coincidence.


    And the encounter with the human spaceships this time seemed to be an ident!


    "Mr. Wu, there are arge number of asteroids ahead. Should we elerate orunch missiles to destroy them?"


    The general at the front line gave another order.


    At the same time, the gic warriors also issued their orders.


    Chu Fei looked at Wu Mo and suggested, "Mr. Wu, these meteorites are really annoying. Let''s just use our power to destroy them."

 Chapter 766 Agreeing Overtly But Opposing in Secret

    <h4>Chapter 766 Agreeing Overtly But Opposing in Secret</h4>


    Now, Chu Fei and the others were strong enough to crush the fine dust in the temple.


    Even though this group of meteorites looked terrifying.


    However, it was actually made up of countless tiny particles. As long as there was enough energy, these particles would be shattered.


    However, Wu Mo thought about it for a moment and ultimately disagreed. The risk of doing so was too great!


    "Don''t worry. Our goal is to expand our range of attack as much as possible and understand the scale of this meteorite cluster."


    "Yes, Mr. Wu!"


    Soon, ten explosiveser battleships appeared and lined up in a straight line like the sharpest dagger.


    In the end, all the battleships opened up a passage, and everyone carefully continued forward.


    Obviously, when the dust in space elerated and hit the spaceships, it would leave a huge hole in the hull. This was definitely a terrifying thing!


    "Oh, Pirna seems to be right ahead!"


    Suddenly, everyone saw a floating in the starry sky, and they were immediately excited.


    "Thank you for your hard work. After such a long jouney, we''ve finally made it!"


    Everyone was moved to tears.


    There was a strange feeling all around in the distant depths of space.


    Wu Mo looked at the scene before him and secretly rejoiced.


    After all, the humans had finally arrived on Pirna. This was going to be a profitable operation.


    ''I can finally enjoy the gift from Pirna!'' Wu Mo thought.


    He was full of confidence in his future ns.


    "Let''s go!" he ordered resolutely. "Defeat the enemy troops and seize their battleships!"


    "Yes, Mr. Wu. We understand."


    The young warriors immediately took action.


    Wu Mo also had a secret trump card: Each of them had been selected from the elites of their families.


    This fleet came from more than seventy countries.


    The fleets sent by each country were equipped with all kinds of battleships.


    Some were powerful fighter jets, some were small transport ships, and others were ships specially used for reconnaissance.


    Each of these battleships had their own unique characteristics, but they all had one thing inmon: They were special equipment that Wu Mo had given them.


    In other words, these seemingly messy fleets were actually part of the Invincible Space Team. They had just changed their names to hide their identities.


    Wu Mo nced at them. He knew that although there were not many battleships, they could y an important role on the battlefield.


    He immediately thought of a n. "Let the alliance''s fleet be the vanguard. Let''s see which side finds the enemy''s army first. Then, we can choose the first area of attack!"


    When everyone heard Wu Mo''s n, they were extremely excited, and their eyes flickered with joy.


    "Haha. Mr. Wu, that''s definitely a good idea! We can''t miss this great opportunity!"


    A representative immediately stepped forward to express his willingness.


    "Alright." Wu Mo smiled and nodded. "Since you''re all so keen, let''s try this strategy!"


    Then, he ordered the Chinese fleet to retreat to the side and act as a cover. This would allow his own fleet to attack first.


    "Brothers, this is an opportunity that China has provided for us! Don''t disappoint them. We must work hard!" someone said excitedly.


    "That''s right, do your best! We definitely won''t let Mr. Wu down!" another warrior said confidently.


    The pilots from all over the world were excited. It was a great honor to be able to show off their strength in front of so many people!


    Soon, they controlled the spaceship and slowly passed through the atmosphere.


    "What''s the problem?"


    Just moments after they flew past the, they were surprised to find huge buildings floating in the sky.


    A ck pipe extended from a hole in one of the buildings.


    Then, an unbelievable scene appeared!


    A pink beam of light shot out from the dark tube.


    The pink light was strange and carried a terrifying power that could destroy everything.


    When everyone saw this scene, they could not help but shudder and retreat one after another!


    One of the spaceships was unable to dodge, and it exploded into a fireball after being hit.


    "D*mn it. What''s going on? We''ve fallen into a trap!" someone cursed.


    At this moment, everyone was at a loss. They turned to their backup means of transportation and tried to escape.


    "Motherf*cker, hit them! Hit them!"


    Themander of the country also jumped up in excitement.


    He knew that the buildings floating on Pirna were probably their space stations, or rather small stations for military material transfer.


    Dozens of aircrafts of different races attacked at the same time, even though there were not many battleships among them.


    However, just his aura alone was enough to make everyone tremble in fear.


    However, just as everyone was excited, the people in these small buildings began to move one by one¡­


    Bang bang bang!


    Each building released a terrifyingser at the same time.


    This temporary team was instantly defeated.


    One aircraft after another was destroyed by this round of attacks. They turned into balls of mes that fell from the sky!


    "Haha. I''m not dead yet!"


    They were trapped in the battleship and could not resist at all.


    Immediately after, their bodies were torn to pieces. The scene was appalling!


    Seeing this, everyone was shocked by the terrifying power. Their faces turned pale, and their bodies trembled.


    They had initially thought that China''s technology was advanced.


    They could create arge number of battleships and then rely on the huge fleet topletely defeat the enemy.


    But now, it seemed that interster wars were not that simple!


    "Mr. Wu, please help us. We can''t be finished like this!"


    Everyone sent out distress signals and begged Wu Mo to lend a hand.


    "Do you think it''s easy to fight in outer space? That''s why we''re in this situation!" Wu Mo coldlymented. Everyone nodded and expressed deep remorse.


    "Mr. Wu, we understand. We will learn from you the tactics of China, but please help us!"


    They were on the verge of tears. There was only one ship left.


    If this ship was destroyed, they would be finished.


    At the same time, they were also working hard on how to build a new battleship.


    However, before it even began, they had already lost half of their strength!


    The mobile micro-base on Pirna did not show any weakness either. It continued to emit horrifying light rays.


    Right now, they had to act urgently. A moment of dy could lead to the entire army being wiped out.


    Wu Mo thought about it at this critical moment. He couldn''t just wipe them out like this, right?


    Otherwise, they would have to fight alone.


    Once their supply team was wiped out.


    Theborers on Pirna would fall back into the hands of China. This was something that Wu Mo did not want to see.


    He quickly issued an order, "Allow the Divine Wind Squad to take action and destroy all their space bases!"

 Chapter 767 Pressure from a Primitive Civilization

    <h4>Chapter 767 Pressure from a Primitive Civilization</h4>


    "Understood, Mr. Wu! Divine Wind Squad, set off immediately!"


    Hearing the order, the Divine Wind Squad promptly moved.


    With the arrival of twenty Fleeting Ghost ships, the space base on Pirna began to suffer massive damage.


    Rumble!


    The Fleeting Ghosts shot out terrifying energy beams that tore through the air and bombarded the bases.


    One by one, the bases werepletely destroyed as they were unable to fight back at all.


    "D*mn it! What''s going on? Their battleships are monstrous!"


    At this moment, the higher-ups of theary Alliance were stunned by the scene.


    These bases had rendered them helpless earlier!


    "No, Sir. This doesn''t make sense. They''ve used the same type of spacecraft before. Why do the ones in our possession seem weaker?" An assistant frowned and asked in confusion.


    After careful thought, they ended up with a shocking answer!


    Theycked skilled battleship pilots.


    "Sigh. We have no choice. Our space fleet is developing rtively slowly, and our technology is limited. It''s no surprise that weck talent. The only way to reverse this situation is to learn something from China."


    The upper echelons of the variousrge factions unanimously agreed on this.


    After the war ended, they would immediately head to China and learn their advanced technology in interster navigation.


    Boom!


    Explosions continued to ring out in the air as huge balls of mes fell from the sky.


    On the base, all the Pirnaians were scared out of their wits and fled in all directions!


    Therefore, the Divine Wind Squad continued to move forward without any obstacles.


    Then, another huge fleet followed closely behind. Nearly two hundred battleships flew towards the sky above the.


    At this moment, Pirna finally realized what a true desperate situation was!


    Miserable screams came from every. All the high-rise buildings and high-tech facilities.


    Even the aircraft in the sky were fleeing frantically.


    After their main ship was destroyed, there were only 100 or so ships left.


    This was the most powerful fleet in their base!


    "D*mn it! Where is our leader? Hand him over!"


    The Pirnaians fought back desperately and tried to take their leader back.


    But now, it seemed that their actions were clearly too stupid!


    "You should close your eyes and not expose yourselves." Wu Mo''s eyes were cold and heartless as he spoke slowly.


    What did this mean?


    The people from Pirna were confused.


    However, there was no need to exin, because they were about to taste the "big gift" that Wu Mo had given them.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Terrifying radiation waves swept across the sky, destroying all the battleships like a giant sweeping the ground with a broom.


    "D*mn it. We can''t beat them. This battleship is too powerful!"


    The faces of the Pirnaians turned ashen.


    They no longer had any illusions.


    From now on, Level 2 civilizations would disappear!


    Wu Mo''s fleet had arrived on Pirna.


    Everyone could clearly see the full picture of the. It was a prosperous scene that made people excited.


    "F*ck. Mr. Wu, this is impossible. Is this a real?"


    Everyone in the base was shocked by this scene.


    This huge upied a vast area, and its internal facilities were extremely luxurious!


    The towering building was amazing. Not only was it used for passage, but it could also be sealed and provide energy.


    It was obvious that their technology had reached a new height. No wonder they were called a Level 2 civilization!


    "Therefore, we can learn something from them and promote the rapid development of our civilization." Wu Mo thought for a moment and said.


    Everyone was full of hope. Perhaps the technology of Pirna could help mankind advance to a higher level.


    Where is your culture?


    Soon, arge number of elite soldiers walked out of the battleship and quickly took control of the entire.


    "Damn it, get lost!"


    Chu Fei roared angrily, and anger and determination shed in his eyes.


    The huge body of Pirnaians was rapidly approaching from afar as if a dark torrent was about to drown them.


    Chu Fei and Zhao Liang stood at the front. The aura emitted by the two of them was extraordinary.


    Chu Fei''s speed was astonishing, while Zhao Liang was an all-rounder with many talents. He had both wisdom and battle experience, and his strength wasparable to that of more than twenty battleships.


    The Pirnaians were huge and powerful.


    However, under the fierce attacks of the two of them, he was captured without any resistance and was sent flying.


    "Oh, my goodness. This is too scary. These guys are actually from a primitive civilization?!"


    All the Pirnaians were stunned when they witnessed this scene.


    "How is that possible? Their physiques are so poor, how can they defeat us?"


    Their hearts were filled with disbelief.


    In the end, the two heroes from the low-leveled civilization knocked down arge group of Pirna warriors.


    "Therefore, I hope that the people on this can hear clearly that we have the situation under control. We must ensure our safety!"


    On the screen, the leader of the Pirna people appeared.


    This general was sent by Wu Mo, and he had participated in many major interster wars.


    He took orders from Wu Mo and carried out his orders before entering the dark storm.


    He had performed well in the negotiations and was unrivaled within thirty light years.


    Wu Mo trusted him very much. He was in charge ofmanding on Pirna.


    His appearance caused the entire Earth to fall into a frenzy.


    "Don''t worry. We won''t kill the innocent. We just want this to be more prosperous!"


    His voice was loud and clear, and his words were impassioned.


    But then his tone turned harsh. "Obviously, the previous manager was not good at making this better. Now, we will rece them and lead you to a better future!"


    These words were full of authority as if Wu Mo himself was speaking.


    Following themander''s wonderful performance, all the survivors on Pirna were moved.


    As a result, the resistance in his heart gradually subsided.


    When Wu Mo saw this, a smile appeared on his face.


    He knew that his expectations had not been disappointed. This general''s performance was not bad.


    "It''s unbelievable that acting skills are so important in this world!" Wu Mo said humorously.


    Everyone present burst intoughter as a result.


    "It''s all thanks to your teachings that we can have what we have today, Mr. Wu. Otherwise, how could our acting skills be so outstanding!" an assistant joked, and the entire room was filled withughter once again.


    As soon as themander-in-chief finished speaking, his image was deeply imprinted in everyone''s minds!


    At this moment, no one could ignore the cruel reality of this invaded area.


    Everyone chose to surrender and start their lives anew.


    After all, no one really wanted to die. This was an instinctive way of avoiding death.

 Chapter 768 Mr. Wu’s Hostility

    <h4>Chapter 768 Mr. Wu''s Hostility</h4>


    "Alright. Now, follow my instructions. Seize control of their energy reserves immediately," the officer roared.


    To a, energy storage was always crucial.


    As long as they could control the aliens'' energy reserves, they would have a better chance.


    Therefore, everyone understood that they had to control their energy reserves as soon as possible to determine their own fate.


    It was the only way to avoid any possible resistance!


    At this moment, there was a series of exmations in Pirna''s huge energy warehouse.


    Everyone was in disbelief.


    "Mr. Wu, we''re going to be rich. All these energy reserves should be able tost us for more than a million years, right?"


    After they obtained urate data, they finally got the answer.


    However, Wu Mo only shook his head with a bitter smile.


    "Don''t worry. This must be a cover. Their energy reserves should be more than this."


    "How do you know, Mr. Wu?" an assistant asked in confusion. "What makes you say that such a huge energy reserve is fake?"


    Everyone finally realized that they had been too naive. They had underestimated the Pirnaians'' strength.


    However, Wu Mo was prepared for this.


    ording to the reference data, Pirna was definitely much more powerful than Dark Star and Fita since it had a Level 2 civilization.


    Although Dark Star had simr energy reserves, it was still far inferior to Pirna.


    Wu Mo contemted for a moment and issued another order.


    "Why don''t we monitor the entire with arge holographic scanning device? Once we detect energy fluctuations, we''ll focus on searching for the source. This source is very likely their energy storage!" Wu Mo ordered.


    "Understood, Mr. Wu!"


    However, it was still very difficult to fully search the entire with their current level of technology.


    Their civilization was not on the same level as that of Pirna!


    However, Wu Mo did not really have to find the energy reserve.


    Once the was in his grip, he could force it to reveal its reserve.


    At this moment, the space suddenly shook, and an extraterrestrial creature appeared before them.


    It was a giant python. It did not seem to be one that had participated in the battle before, but it appeared to be overwhelmed.


    "What is this?! This is Pirnaian territory! Who dares to trespass?!"


    Then, it disappeared.


    It was powerful, and it possessed many special abilities.


    Obviously, it was a product of Pirna''s special modification.


    Meanwhile, Chu Fei, Zhao Liang, and a group of young gically-modified warriors were currently enjoying the warm sunlight.


    They had been having a wonderful time ever since they upied Pirna.


    Everyone was in a much more rxed mood. They talked andughed, looking forward to a beautiful future.


    Just then, an intense killing intent assaulted him from behind. Zhao Liang''s face revealed a look of horror!


    "Do you guys sense that something is wrong?"


    "That''s right. There''s an incredibly strong murderous aura!"


    Thus, everyone''s gaze turned in another direction.


    Sure enough, a figure slowly appeared five hundred meters away.


    At this stage of youth, almost everyone would have an instinctive feeling.


    When the figure stepped out of the void, this feeling intensified.


    Everyone present was sure that he must havee from the four-dimensional world!


    This elite warrior was from Pirna, and the aura he emitted revealed his identity.


    "These insignificant creatures dare to do whatever they want on Pirna. Are they tired of living?"


    His eyes were wide open, and his anger was beyond words.


    He raised his fists high, like a sharp de that could tear the air apart!


    There was a loud bang as if his body had exploded.


    His strength even surpassed that of Chu Fei and Zhao Liang!


    "Zhao Liang, why are you here? He might not be as fast as you, but his explosive power surpasses yours. You have to listen to me!" Chu Fei reminded.


    "You''re right."


    Zhao Liang nodded and admitted that he could not do this himself.


    Furthermore, such close-range explosion had extremely high requirements for strength!


    Right at this moment, Zhao Liang swung his leg out like an iron whip.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    He smiled smugly as he delivered another kick.


    His feet were like iron whips, and every kick was rhythmic. It forced the Pirnaian warrior to retreat!


    "D*mn it! This guy is too terrifying!"


    The Pirnaian warrior''s mind went nk, and he could not get a hold of himself.


    He was one of the top warriors on his. He never thought that he would be forced into such a state by a primitive civilization.


    "Let''s see where you can hide!"


    Zhao Liang sneered and immediately used his peerless movement technique to fly in the opposite direction. It was as if he had teleported, so it looked surreal.


    "What do you want? Do you want to destroy us all?"


    The Pirnaian warrior was filled with despair, but his killing intent did not weaken.


    "You have to tell me how you passed through four-dimensional space. Tell me your secret, and I might let you live. Otherwise, you''ll regret it!"


    If someone else had said this, the Pirnaian warrior would have ignored them or even mocked them.


    However, Zhao Liang was currently standing before him.


    This Pirnaian martial artist had experienced his strength in a fight!


    Under Zhao Liang''s pressure, these words pierced straight into the depths of his heart. The fear he felt came from his soul.


    "Alright, I''ll tell you! You better keep your word!"


    In the end, under Zhao Liang''s interrogation, his psychological defensepletely copsed.


    Zhao Liang was ecstatic and immediately told Wu Mo about this!


    Wu Mo, who was on the main, was also delighted.


    He had been studying it for a long time.


    Previously, he had relied on a special device to travel through the four-dimensional world, which was the micro-teleportation door.


    However, he knew that the residents of the fourth dimension did not rely on any tools. Their bodies were the most powerful weapons.


    Of course, this technology was not widely spread.


    Even for a Level 2 space civilization like Pirna''s, not everyone could master it, only the top talents could!


    Wu Mo had also captured many people from Pirna, but they refused to reveal anything.


    Thus, he put this matter aside.


    However, Zhao Liang hade to report that he had captured an outstanding soldier who was willing to share the secrets of the four-dimensional world. How could he not be excited?


    "Everyone, record it down and keep it a secret forever!" Wu Mo immediately ordered.


    "Yes, Mr. Wu. We will start interrogating him immediately."


    Zhao Liang and Chu Fei stood in a small interrogation room and stared at the Pirnaian coldly.


    That person was frowning! After all, these young gically-modified warriors were putting too much pressure on him.


    "Tell me how to travel through four-dimensional space."


    Zhao Liang didn''t waste any time and went straight to the point.


    With that done, there was no need to say anything else.


    Once they learned this secret, the entire human race would be able to take a new step forward.

 Chapter 769 A Magical Potion That Adds a Hundred Years

    Chapter 769 A Magical Potion That Adds a Hundred Years


    "Our best soldiers have been injected with a special drug from the start," the elite soldier from Pirna slowly exined. "It makes their body temperatures higher and their bodies tougher!"


    "You travel through time and space with that alone? You must be joking!"


    Hearing this, Zhao Liang and Chu Fei could not help butugh.


    He actually uttered such outrageous words. How ridiculous!


    However, he did not stop talking.


    "Under special circumstances, we can mantain our body temperatures at the same level.


    "In other words, our body temperature changes!"


    "Huh?! When your melting point and freezing point ovep, they will eventually change?"


    Chu Fei had some understanding of physics, and he found this unbelievable.


    Didn''t it sound a little contradictory?


    Unbeknownst to them, Wu Mo was also muttering to himself.


    Nheless, he was stunned when he heard the Pirnaian''s words. It was as if he realized that he had overlooked something.


    "Yes, the melting point and freezing point are the same. At a certain level, the collision of these twopletely opposite energies might just send someone into a pocket dimension. Why didn''t I think of that?"


    Wu Mo pped his thigh and came to a realization.


    "So, that''s how it is... That''s how it is¡­"


    Wu Mo smiled proudly. He had finally discovered the secret of four-dimensional travel.


    From now on, he could create an advanced being with the ability to move freely in the fourth dimension.


    As long as they had enough resources, they could be a Level 2 civilization.


    While Wu Mo was jubnt, Chu Fei and Zhao Liang had serious expressions on their faces. They were still interrogating the soldier from Pirna.


    After the elite soldier exined everything in detail, he began to demonstrate.


    However, Zhao Liang and Chu Fei quickly stopped him. They were afraid that he would leave them if his demonstration went too far.


    "Alright, alright, we believe you. We will have a detailed n on what to do next. Just wait here!"


    Zhao Liang left after he issued a few orders.


    "Huh? Didn''t you say that you would let me go? Why are you locking me up?"


    The Pirnaian soldier''s jaw dropped in shock. He never thought that a human would be so untrustworthy.


    "I could choose not to lock you up, but this matter has caused an uproar. Many people outside don''t trust you, and they might harm you in the dark!"


    However, the elite soldier from Pirna only shook his head when Zhao Liang voiced his thoughts.


    "No, Sir. Everyone on our is incredibly obedient. If you''re strong enough, we won''t resist. Am I not a good example?"


    No one knew what to say at this moment.


    Who would have thought that this Pirnaian would make such a joke?


    "Then stay here obediently and don''t make a sound. If you don''tply, I''ll make you suffer!"


    The elite Pirnaian soldier was shocked, and he dared not make a sound.


    However, Chu Fei and the others went into action.


    They sent all the images and data to Wu Mo.


    Wu Mo pondered for a moment and finally decided to conduct a small-scale experiment. He would try to use the human body as an energy source to transmigrate.


    If he seeded, humans would be able to move freely between four-dimensional space. The entire universe would no longer pose a threat.


    At that time, humans could even utilize their own strength to travel through space.


    "Hehe. Not bad. If we seed, our lifespans will greatly increase!" he said excitedly.


    Wu Mo was extremely excited.


    That''s right, Wu Mo had sessfully developed something called Life No. 3.


    It was said that it could instantly extend a person''s lifespan by a hundred years.


    Whether it was Life First or Life Second, none of them couldpare to it!


    Once Life No. 3 was in the works, he revealed the news to the reporters, and the whole world went in an uproar.


    Countless people were going crazy over the news.


    The only thing they cared about was whether it could really make them live another hundred years!


    One should know how prosperous society already was.


    With the continuous advancement of science and technology, their quality of life had greatly improved.


    Under such circumstances, no one had a desire tomit suicide.


    If they could really increase their lifespan by a hundred years, they might even achieve true immortality.


    Everyone was waiting and hoping that they would be the first batch of buyers.


    However, they knew that this was definitely a rare item, and it would be extremely expensive.


    With China''s current strength, there was actually no need for them to set such high prices.


    The medical industry was back to the way it was in thest century.


    Doctors had reappeared and overturned the medical world!


    Top doctors were pulled to a higher level, while unskilled doctors were thrown out to leave space for the most elite ones.


    One should know that young doctors relied on speed for great execution.


    Once they got older, their movements would slow down, and their surgeries would likely fail.


    As such, no one would willingly hire them because this would affect work efficiency!


    ...


    Meanwhile, a group of people was watching Wu Mo''s experiment. They all held their breaths and dared not make a sound.


    They all wondered why Life No. 3 had not been released yet.


    Uexpectedly, Wu Mo was not researching Life No. 3.


    This experiment was to explore how the human body traveled through time and space. That was his real goal!


    Seeing how focused he was on his research, no one attempted to disturb him.


    After a while, Wu Mo finally heaved a sigh of relief. Everyone smiled and went up to greet him.


    "Mr. Wu, is the potion''s productionplete? Our customers have already ordered thousands of units."


    His assistant handed him a list with detailed information.


    The orders were from thousands of top billionaires around the world.


    Many still wanted to increase their investment, which was actually raising the price!


    It was amon strategy for buying cars, but Wu Mo waspletely dumbfounded.


    "I''m not conducting any research on it. What are you doing?"


    Everyone was dumbfounded.


    The whole world was waiting to see how he would create the new "Life Potion."


    Yet, Wu Mo just calmly told them that he had not been researching it.


    Everyone was speechless. "Mr. Wu, what exactly have you been doing?"


    They were all on the verge of tears.


    After all, they had received Wu Mo''s request to purchase the right to use this potion.


    But now, he was tell them something else.


    "Humans can use their own bodily strength to travel through the void and be true four-dimensional beings!" Wu Mo said after a moment of silence.


    "Whoa! This sounds too advanced. It''s even more advanced than the Life Potion."


    That was everyone''s consensus.

 Chapter 770 A Glimpse of the Mind Space

    <h4>Chapter 770 A Glimpse of the Mind Space</h4>


    Wu Mo temporarily put the matter regarding the Life Potion aside.


    The others naturally did not ask any more questions.


    He had put all his energy into his research and discovered a way to turn humans into four-dimensional life forms.


    First of all, he found some volunteers, all of whom were strong military elites.


    After they arrived and heard what they were going to do, everyone was filled with anticipation!


    How exciting was it for humans to fly freely in four-dimensional space!


    Following three days of testing, everyone was waiting for the final results.


    At this moment, more researchers walked over.


    Their eyes were focused on the three youngsters who had volunteered to participate in the experiment.


    Although they seemed very quiet, their bodies had been transformed, and their skin was simr to that of the Pirnaians. It was as if they had reached the intersection of their boiling and freezing points.


    Wu Mo was also unusually excited. "Based on the information we provided, the three of you can attempt to open a portal," he said slowly.


    After he finished speaking, the three of them nodded excitedly.


    They were standing in an empty desert. The surrounding environment was clearly visible, and a sturdy portal stood steadily there.


    Then, they took a deep breath, and the first person walked over!


    He chanted silently in his heart and allowed the two energies to fuse together at the same time.


    Sure enough, his body suddenly disappeared from the void!


    "Wow! He actually disappeared. The four-dimensional world is unbelievable!"


    When the people behind saw this, they all started discussing in amazement.


    Wu Mo smiled and nodded in satisfaction.


    Next, he observed the reactions of the other two volunteers.


    If they couldplete the mission perfectly, his assumptions would be correct.


    Soon after, another person fused his freezing point and melting point together and sessfully entered the four-dimensional world! The third person also went through the same process and achieved good results.


    The three of them had entered a different space.


    Wu Mo then used a special method to teleport them to the other side of the desert.


    The three of them quickly returned to his side, and their faces filled with unconceble excitement!


    "Mr. Wu, we''ve seeded. We can move freely. This is awesome!" they said excitedly.


    Such power seemed unbelievable.


    What made it even more unbelievable was how Wu Mo had given them this extraordinary skill.


    Following that, Wu Mo nned to promote this skill widely!


    Wu Mo''s experiment was progressing smoothly, but no one seemed to be interested in space-time travel.


    Inparison, they were more concerned about how to obtain Life No. 3.


    "Mr. Wu, we''ve been researching Life No. 3 for a long time. Please release it as soon as possible so that we have ess to it."


    "Yeah, it''s a great thing. Everyone wants it. Can''t you let regr people enjoy it too?"


    "Mr. Wu, I beg you! Open up the purchasing link for Life No. 3. We really need it."


    Everyone was looking forward to gaining Wu Mo''s favor and hoping to have a chat with him.


    They wanted to see if they could obtain the legendary Life No. 3.


    To live to a hundred years old was already a miracle in itself!


    Who wouldn''t be tempted by such a treasure?


    Wu Mo was slightly taken aback. He then smiled. "Life No.3 is still in closed beta. It will be officiallyunched soon. I hope everyone will pay attention to the official website."


    His response made everyone feel anxious and uneasy!


    "Oh, my God. How long do we have to wait? Isn''t this torture?"


    Once they went online, those rich people would be in trouble!


    They had to stare at the screen twenty-four hours a day. If they missed this business opportunity, they would definitely regret it.


    However, Wu Mo''s experiment was targeted at his parents.


    Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu felt that something was wrong the moment they entered the room.


    "Wu Mo, you just said that Life No. 3 can extend one''s lifespan by a hundred years and even make one look young again. Is that true?"


    They were wondering whether the potion was really effective.


    After all, regaining their youth was too terrifying.


    It meant that an old man could instantly turn into a child.


    Wu Mo smiled. "Not everyone can maintain their youthfulness, especially once they''re older than fifty. It''s not easy to maintain youth and vitality."


    Extending one''s lifespan by a hundred years was the wisest choice!


    Although it was not a guaranteed sess, Wu Mo was a hundred percent confident in the potion''s effects.


    He believed that his parents would not have any problems after they consumed the potion.


    If it was not aplete sess, their lives would still be extended, but it might not be as long as a hundred years.


    Sure enough, after a checkup, Mr. and Mrs. Wu felt full of vitality.


    "Why do I look like I''m in my forties?" Mrs. Wu cried out in surprise as she looked into the mirror.


    Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu looked much younger as if they were no longer elderly but middle-aged.


    A smile appeared on Wu Mo''s face. His parents looked even younger now.


    Moreover, they would live an extra eighty or ny years.


    This was enough to prove that the effect of this potion was gradually approaching perfection.


    However, a hundred-year extension was not an unattainable dream. One day, it would be a reality!


    Then, Wu Mo ced one hundred bottles of the potion on China''s official website and began the first round of testing.


    What he needed to do now was test the effects of this potion on the human body.


    He would only consider putting it into production if it was proven effective.


    This potion was developed through the biochemical technology in the system, and its effect should be outstanding.


    In other words, as long as he could sell a hundred bottles, he could purchase other items!


    Wu Mo could focus on developing his own interster fleet.


    It was already past 2.00 am in the morning, and most people were already in dreand.


    There were a few invited people on China''s official website and some who stared at their screens day and night. Everyone else was already asleep.


    At this moment, the official website suddenly shed, and a link popped up.


    A hundred bottles of Life No. 3 were now avable.


    This time, everyone was in an uproar!


    They could not hold back the excitement in their hearts and scrambled to buy it.


    Under such circumstances, it depended on who was faster. A few quickly made a decision and called their boss to report the good news.


    Suddenly, orders began to flood in.


    Many were filled with regret. They were upset that they did not manage to get the tickets to purchase the potion. It made them extremely depressed!

 Chapter 771 The Key to the Energy Revolution

    <h4>Chapter 771 The Key to the Energy Revolution</h4>


    More than a hundred bottles of the potion were snatched up in less than two minutes.


    It was already past 2.00 am.


    If it was during the day, it would probably be sold out in less than ten seconds!


    One bottle was worth eighty million, which was a hundred million!


    However, there were still many people fighting to buy it.


    Eighty million was not a big deal to many people, but how many people could live to a hundred years old?


    Impossible!


    Besides, think about it. A few million was too little for a hundred-year extension!


    It was obvious that this potion was incredibly cost-effective.


    The price of eighty million was quite cheap for many people. One could almost consider it a kind of welfare.


    Everyone thought about it and felt that they would buy it without hesitation!


    However, it seemed not many could actually afford to buy such a thing.


    Hence, Wu Mo started to check thetest sales figures.


    He found that both the first and second generation products were sold out immediately.


    This was also because the prices of these two products had been greatly reduced.


    In addition, the Biological Regeneration Agent and special intelligence potions were also selling well!


    Now that Wu Mo had publicized the forms of these drugs, the researchers of the research institute were also constantly developing them.


    Of course, many things were handled by Wu Mo, so he would not casually reveal what he knew.


    With aplete production line.


    Wu Mo could totally hand everything over to someone else to handle. That way, he could quickly produce more medicine.


    What Wu Mo wanted to do next was actually very simple.


    He needed to verify whether these drugs were beneficial to humans and whether they were effective on his system.


    As for other things, he did not care about them too much!


    One day, after some checking, Wu Mo found out that Life No. 3 had been sold out as soon as it was released.


    However, he was unable to produce so much medicine.


    This meant that he couldn''t catch up with the others.


    Faced with this problem, what should he do?


    Wu Mo immediately held a press conference.


    "Hmm? Is there anything special about Mr. Wu''s press conference this time?"


    Many people noticed this video and clicked on it to watch.


    In just a few seconds, the number of viewers had already exceeded one billion!


    Such a number was simply unimaginable decades ago.


    However, for Wu Mo, this had be amon urrence. No matter what he did, there would always be billions of viewers watching him.


    The number of online yers was still growing, posing a huge challenge to their servers.


    Wu Mo saw that arge number of people around the world were paying attention to him, so he cleared his throat and slowly said,


    "I believe that everyone will be shocked because Life No. 3 can extend one''s lifespan by a hundred years. Only the luckiest people can have it!"


    His words made everyone gasp.


    Countless people''s eyes turned red!


    Anyone could imagine how lucky someone would be if they could buy this pill and extend their lifespan by a hundred years!


    This was simply unbelievable!


    "But don''t worry," Wu Mo continued. "The production of Life No. 3 will be greatly reduced this time. So, please wait patiently. Don''t rush to fight for it," he said?to let everyone know what he meant.


    How many people would fight for this bottle of medicine?


    Once he reached that level, the rewards given by the system would be even more generous.


    This way, Wu Mo would probably try his best to mass produce these drugs.


    Suddenly, a cell phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was amander at the front line!


    "We found it, Mr. Wu! We''ve finally found it! Hahahaha!"


    The officer was so excited that he was speechless.


    Wu Mo was stunned. He still didn''t understand what had happened!


    "We found an energy storage chamber on Pirna," he said solemnly.


    "Oh, you found a backup energy chamber. Let me check it out!"


    Wu Mo quickly walked into the central control room. In front of him was a huge disy screen that showed the situation on Pirna.


    He saw a wide river with surging water!


    A dark storeroom was located in a forest by the river.


    "That''s strange. Why would they build a storage room here?"


    At first, Wu Mo had some doubts. Were the Pirnaians crazy?


    Everyone knew that an energy warehouse contained a huge amount of energy.


    If it was ced by the river, a fire could burn down the entire forest, and the consequences would be unimaginable!


    Wu Mo couldn''t understand why the Pirnaians would make such a decision.


    He did not know what to say!


    At this moment, everyone realized.


    Once they found this energy storage room.


    Wu Mo would immediately modify it and make it the main energy reserve for mankind.


    During this period, Wu Mo had conducted important discussions about the entireary Alliance.


    He believed that in the near future, mankind would experience a huge energy revolution.


    To achieve this, arge amount of energy was needed to modify all the equipment.


    Otherwise, there would be nowhere to release this power.


    "We used to worry about the source of energy. Now, we have so much energy that we don''t even know how to use it."


    These words sounded like they were full of exaggeration.


    However, everyone knew that what Mr. Wu said was the truth.


    Hearing Wu Mo''s words, everyone decided to work harder on their skills.


    In such an environment, towering skyscrapers and high-tech buildings rose from the ground and stood on the horizon of the city, like a magnificent picture of the future world.


    At the same time, Wu Mo nervously examined the manufacturing progress and material purchases of the Life No. 3 project.


    The staff in the biochemicalboratory worked efficiently.


    They could produce more than a hundred portions of "biochemical drugs" every day. In ten days, they could get more than a thousand portions!


    Although this speed was not as fast as thest time he used the medicine.


    However, it was enough to satisfy the rich people around the world.


    At this moment, Wu Mo was faced with an even more important task-to go to the storeroom by the river and check out the avable resources there!


    One had to know that once the energy stored in the storage room went out of control, it was very likely to cause an explosion. The slightest carelessness could cause great damage.


    Therefore, Wu Mo personally led the team and carefully entered the storage room, wanting to investigate.


    However, when they arrived, the scene in front of thempletely stunned them...


    "Oh, my God! What the hell is this ce?!"


    Amander felt his hair stand on end.


    In the storeroom, they found arge amount of explosives.


    These explosives had been ced neatly and prepared.


    In other words, even though the Pirnaians were at the back, they could store energy here and then detonate the entire!

 Chapter 772 They Can Actually Predict the Future

    <h4>Chapter 772 They Can Actually Predict the Future</h4>


    "That was close. I almost died here."


    Dense beads of sweat appeared on an officer''s forehead.


    At this moment, he knew that there was nothing he could do about it. He was lucky to have survived.


    Otherwise, even he himself would not be able to survive!


    After learning about this, Wu Mo was stunned.


    He sensed a hint of danger.


    Everyone would probably be killed by the explosion.


    Chu Fei, Zhao Liang, and the others were shocked when they heard about this!


    The battle earlier seemed easy, but they did not expect Pirna to actually have such a terrifying energy reserve. This was really an unexpected trump card!


    However, this alerted everyone to be careful.


    Otherwise, once they upied this, it might lead to a disaster.


    "Mr. Wu, the energy storage here is amazing. It''s enough to support us for five hundred years!" a?scientist reported the experimental data to Wu Mo.


    "Hmm. Five hundred years is already not bad. It''s just a pity that five hundred years of technology can''t make us jump to the top of the universe. This road is still very long."


    Although Wu Mo was happy, he began to feel heavy.


    His goal was to be a star, to be the strongest existence in the entire universe!


    At that time, humans would be able to travel freely to any ce in the universe and be the ruler of the Milky Way.


    Even though it seemed like there was still a long way to go.


    However, Wu Mo did not lose his confidence. His goal remained the same.


    "Mr. Wu, we found a meteorite flying toward us!"


    "Ah! What does this mean?"


    Wu Mo frowned as an ominous feeling rose in his heart.


    The news came from the front, and he had no idea what had happened.


    What was worse was that he had no idea how powerful these meteorites would release when they flew.


    If they were irregr turbulence, their ships would most likely be destroyed.


    This was something he absolutely did not want to see!


    " We can''t let them seed. We have to think of a way, or our ship might be destroyed."


    Wu Mo immediately ordered everyone to send out the reconnaissance ships.


    Let''s see how big this asteroid belt is. What the hell are they doing?


    Why would they suddenlyunch such a surprise attack on us?


    At this moment, the scout ship had already rushed out of the asteroid belt.


    This sudden situation left everyone dumbstruck.


    "What''s going on?"


    Everyone couldn''t help but be puzzled, but they quickly realized that all of this came from the huge asteroid belt.


    In other words, the asteroid was slowly moving toward Pirna.


    "I understand now. So many people on Earth chose to surrender because they had long known that the apocalypse wasing."


    Wu Mo suddenly said, causing everyone to feel puzzled.


    Everyone looked at Wu Mo with their mouths agape, not knowing what he was talking about.


    "Someone on Pirna must have made such a prediction," Wu Mo continued. "Perhaps a long time ago, the civilians of Pirna were alerted by this information."


    This series of questions seemed to have unraveled a huge mystery, and Wu Mo''s face turned pale.


    "What? What''s going on? Could it be that those people are not lying to us, but are really facing destruction?"


    Themanders of the various headquarters were burning with anger and were eager to eliminate themander of Pirna.


    "It doesn''t matter. Since we have upied this, can we change its trajectory through a giant energy system?" an official suddenly raised a question.


    This official was obviously not an aerospace expert.


    That was why he came up with such an illogical idea.


    "To change the orbit of a, you need a huge spaceship," the other man continued.


    Obviously, he didn''t agree with the official''s opinion.


    In this situation, the best choice was to use theser cannon to destroy the meteorites.


    "Mr. Wu, ording to the current situation, this asteroid will collide with Pirna in more than a month''s time. At that time, it will trigger an extremely violent meteor shower!" An official reported.


    Hearing this news, everyone''s expressions became more and more solemn.


    Meteor shower?


    It was not difficult for everyone to imagine how terrifying that scene would be¡­


    "Forget it. I have no choice but to use the powerful cosmic radiation to throw them into chaos!"


    Wu Mo finally made up his mind.


    At this critical moment, the only thing they could do was to use high-energy cosmic rays.


    Among all the cosmic radiations, there was one that was the most powerful, and that was the cosmic radiation explosion!


    This was the advanced form of cosmic radiation, and its power was more than ten times that of normal radiation!


    Boom!


    At this moment, he was like a giant waving a shlight, emitting a beam of light in the dark space.


    In the pitch-ck universe, the stars shattered and danced like fairies, leaving their original trajectories and flying into the depths of the universe.


    However, at this moment, arge group of chaotic stars were attracted by the powerful electromaic gravity and flew in the direction of Pirna at an extremely fast speed.


    "Oh, no! There are a few meteors flying towards us. It looks like they are going to attack our base camp?"


    The suprememander of Pirna was also shocked.


    If he wasn''t mentally strong, he would have panicked.


    Even so, he was still frightened by this scene.


    "Activate the defense system and use the high-energy particle cannon to destroy those meteors!"


    Following themander-in-chief''s order, everyone quickly moved.


    Thisrge-scale defense system could form a shield made of electricity in space, causing any unknown object to deviate from its orbit or even self-destruct.


    The principle of this defense system was simple, but the actual operation was quite tricky.


    This was because their satellites could not be tracked.


    Themander-in-chief made a wise decision.


    He would use high-intensity cosmic rays with the help of the defense system to deal with this sudden situation.


    With the two weapons working together, many meteors were shattered, and the crisis on Pirna was resolved.


    "There''s a problem. There''s really a problem!"


    After everything calmed down, Wu Mo''s mood was unusually agitated.


    Every time he sensed danger, he would have this feeling.


    "Wait. If that''s the case, then how could a Level 2 civilization like Pirna sense the apocalypse? Why did so many people leave so early?"


    This was a big problem. When Wu Mo said it, everyone came to a realization.


    If even such a high-level space civilization was helpless¡­


    How could humans solve it so easily?


    If it was that easy, why did the people of Pirna flee in such a panic?


    This meant that the most difficult test was yet toe!


    At this moment, a few huge meteors suddenly appeared in space and flew towards Pirna at an extremely fast speed!


    "Hurry up! Intercept with the high-energy particle cannont!" an officer shouted.


    Then, a ck beam of light streaked across the sky and hit a huge meteor.

 Chapter 773 God’s Eye

    <h4>Chapter 773 God''s Eye</h4>


    However, just as the beam of light was about to hit the meteor, the meteor shifted and dodged the beam.


    "What happened? How could it hide from the light? Is this thing equipped with a huge remote control?"


    Everyone was dumbfounded. They had never seen such a terrifying scene!


    "No, no. If this continues, we will all be destroyed by that meteorite!"


    Themanding officer and a few deputies in the base looked solemn.


    Every second counts!


    If a meteor fell, the power of the explosion would be enough to destroy everything and turn everything into ruins.


    Sir, if we use cosmic radiation to track, we should consider using astronomical observations on Earth to determine our location," an assistant suggested.


    At this moment, themander-in-chief''s brows suddenly furrowed. He sensed that something was wrong.


    "Can you locate us from that far away?" he asked.


    "Sir, the situation is urgent. We can only ask Mr. Wu for help. Perhaps he knows how to solve this!" someone suggested anxiously.


    After learning about themander''s situation, Wu Mo fell into deep thought.


    God''s Eye might not be able to cover such a long range, but he had no choice but to give it a try!


    He shook his head helplessly.


    This was because humans were too conservative in the development of science and technology, which led to such an oue.


    The original GPS technology could cover a longer distance.


    However, everyone thought that this was an ultra-long-distance GPS that involved state secrets.


    As a result, the satellites were limited to a specific range and could not be expanded.


    It was due to the existence of God''s Eye.


    As a result, its range could not extend to Pirna, which was ten light-years away, and it could not lock onto its location.


    However, Wu Mo was not helpless.


    "Activate God''s Eye immediately," he ordered. "Readjust our position to within fifty kilometers of Pirna!"


    "Alright, Mr. Wu."


    Everyone immediately took action.


    At this moment, everyone realized that this was likely to be destroyed by a huge meteorite.


    The people living on it would also be threatened.


    Time was tight, and he couldn''t dy even a moment!


    However, in the next second, he heard a piece of despairing news.


    A huge meteor crashed into the surface of Pirna with a terrifying roar.


    Boom!


    Everything became quiet and despairing.


    Fortunately, the survivors of the underground city noticed this and fled into the underground fallout shelter.


    However, the huge earthquake still formed a huge pit that buried all the elites!


    Themander-in-chief and the others had long escaped, so they avoided the disaster.


    "F*ck. How could this happen? Our current technology can''t even deal with a huge meteor!"


    Themander-in-chief''s heart was filled with fear and disbelief.


    At this moment, he could not use words to express his feelings!


    Facing such a natural disaster, even with the current level of technology, there was nothing they could do.


    "We have to strengthen the GPS. Otherwise, such a tragedy will happen again!"


    Themander-in-chief thought of something simr to Wu Mo.


    Chu Fei and Zhao Liang also rushed over in a hurry. After learning about the situation just now, they were also shocked.


    "Is it true? Then we have to go save them."


    Zhao Liang decided to rush out of the ground at an astonishing speed and then quickly dig out a passage leading to the trapped people.


    He had boundless strength, and he punched one punch after another.


    They destroyed the surrounding buildings and quickly cleared out the rescue path.


    Chu Fei, on the other hand, relied on his own wisdom to determine the best rescue n at the first moment so that the trapped people could quickly escape.


    "Mr. Wu, don''t worry. We''ve already rescued the trapped person."


    Chu Fei sent a message to the headquarters, and Wu Mo immediately nodded. He looked very pleased.


    "Very good, you have made a qualitative leap!" Wu Mo said with satisfaction.


    However, this did not mean that he would be satisfied with the current situation.


    His most important goal was to promote the "God''s Eye" navigation technology to all parts of the world.


    It even covered an area of thirty light-years.


    Only in this way could his God''s Eye be worthy of this name.


    Wu Mo thought for a moment, then went to look for the old leader and told him his thoughts.


    The old leader frowned.


    Wu Mo, does your opinion mean that we can promote the ''God''s Eye'' to the whole world?"


    "Yes." Wu Mo nodded and replied with a serious expression," If someone tries to stop us, we will break this restriction without hesitation."


    Hearing this, the old leader''s heart skipped a beat. His gaze as he stared at Wu Mo became solemn.


    Wu Mo''s eyes shed with determination.


    He was determined to carry out his n at all costs. Otherwise, he would be forgotten by history.


    "Alright. I''ll talk to them first and hear their thoughts!"


    After Wu Mo finished speaking, everyone nodded.


    Not long after, a small-scale meeting was held on the.


    Wu Mo presided over the meeting, and soon everyone arrived.


    Seeing everyone''s thoughtful expressions, Wu Mo revealed a smug smile.


    "Please cooperate with us and expand the coverage of God''s Eye to every corner so that we can protect you better, right?"


    Wu Mo spoke first.


    However, after hearing his words, many people revealed dissatisfied expressions.


    "Will Mr. Wu''s actions cause us any harm?" a fat man asked.


    Many people felt that the answer was yes.


    If God''s Eye was really powerful, then everyone would have nowhere to hide.


    Everyone''s hearts were filled with determination as they unanimously opposed Wu Mo''s whimsical idea!


    The atmosphere in the venue was heavy. Wu Mo nced at everyone and saw that they all had calm expressions.


    It was obvious that they supported the fat man''s words.


    Since the fat man had a good reputation, his words had an important impact on everyone.


    Therefore, the others also raised their objections.


    At that time, God''s Eye would truly be a ruler, and there would be no secrets to hide.


    Everyone had their own privacy.


    This was the current situation. China was too strong, so strong that it made people feel powerless.


    This was the reality. Even though China had once helped them, they had nowpletely abandoned them.


    He observed the discussions of the crowd.


    Wu Mo remained expressionless and silent.


    However, he sneered in his heart.


    Wu Mo already had a countermeasure. He was waiting for these people to have a good time before telling them what he was thinking.


    The meeting was full of discussion, but it soon quieted down.


    Everyone''s eyes were focused on Wu Mo.


    They all knew that Wu Mo''s decision on this matter was crucial.


    This meeting was hosted by the old leader, but more importantly, he had to seek Wu Mo''s opinion.

 Chapter 774 Omnidirectional Surveillance System

    Chapter 774 Omnidirectional Surveince System


    Wu Mo sneered and continued, "Without God''s Eye, there will be some unknown threats in space in the future. For example, asteroids. Do you have satellite navigation?"


    His words made everyone present fall silent.


    Everyone thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be true!


    Imagine if a meteorite fell from space.


    Any country''s satellite could intercept it in the shortest time possible.


    However, the reality was that no country had such a satellite!


    It was possible for China, but they were unwilling to cooperate with other countries. This made Wu Mo furious!


    "I hope you can ept this proposal. Of course, China willpensate you. But if you''re reluctant, you can forget about any benefits!"


    Wu Mo sounded calm, but there was a hint of a threat in his words. As a result, many of the representatives frowned.


    "Mr. Wu, you''re wrong. We built this together. You didn''t do it alone. Why don''t we have the right to decide?" someone immediately objected.


    The others also expressed their desire to fight back!


    "Mr. Wu, you''ve done a lot of good things in the past, but I''m sorry. We can''t support you anymore."


    "That''s right! Wu Mo, what right do you have to say that? Although this is your design, you can''t let God''s Eye cover the entire world!"


    All of this seemed to be lies.


    The truth was that they did not want China to have control over the entire world.


    No one was willing to reveal their national secrets.


    If this system actually spread all over the world, what choice would others have?


    However, Wu Mo firmly stated that the scope of God''s Eye was not limited to Earth. It covered the entire universe, and it was designed to keep everyone safe.


    However, his words did not change the situation. It seemed that they had reached a stalemate, and no one was willing topromise!


    However, Wu Mo was not going to back down. He was determined to walk his own path.


    The tragedy that had happened on Pirna was not going to happen anywhere else.


    "Alright. In that case, don''t me me for being inconsiderate!"


    Wu Mo''s tone was firm, and there was a cold glint in their eyes. Everyone present felt a chill run down their spine.


    "Wu Mo, what are you trying to do?" A man stood up and asked coldly.


    Wu Mo flicked his finger lightly, and a series of instructions were immediately sent out.


    In the sky, battleships began to set sail.


    Half of it was around the main star.


    The other half flew in Eternal Sun and Dark Star''s direction.


    "Everyone! In less than ten minutes, your base and your battleship will bepletely destroyed!"


    Wu Mo''s voice was cold and merciless, and everyone''s faces turned pale.


    "Presumptuous! Wu Mo, you''ve gone too far. Aren''t you afraid that we''ll unite and resist?"


    "Haha. You can try, but I''ll personally make sure that you''re history!"


    Wu Mo''s eyes became unusually cold. At the same time, two strong men tried to subdue him.


    However, just as they approached¡­


    Wu Mo struck out with his palm and easily neutralized their attack!


    With a scream, the two of them instantly disappeared from where they were.


    No one had expected the usually gentle and refined Wu Mo to have such a powerful counterattack.


    Moreover, what were they thinking?


    Why did he have to provoke such a powerful opponent?


    When everyone witnessed this scene, they were all extremely shocked.


    They all fell back into their seats with pale faces and trembling lips, unable to say a word.


    "Everyone, I don''t think I need to repeat myself!"


    Wu Mo''s eyes shed with a cold light, followed by a stern warning.


    Everyone shuddered and hurriedly nodded." Mr. Wu, we understand. We will cooperate with you in the future."


    "Yes, you''re already very outstanding. Why should I provoke you?" Another person quickly echoed.


    Wu Mo sneered before turning around to leave.


    Everyone stared at his back, their hearts filled with shock.


    This person was like a devil! How could there be such a terrifying existence!


    But no matter what, Wu Mo resolved all the problems with his domineering attitude.


    After a while, he would be able to control the entire world and expand 30 light years outwards from this ce.


    This was a step that he had to take. No matter what price he had to pay, Wu Mo had to do it!


    At the same time, the tragedy on Pirna would never happen again.


    However, at this moment, China was in chaos.


    No one expected that the so-called God''s Eye had actually spread to all parts of the world!


    This indicated an extremely important fact. Some of the principles must not be known to outsiders.


    However, Life No. 3, which was sold on China''s official website, encountered some problems.


    In a whole day, only ten bottles were sold!


    "Haha. Interesting. Is this their way of expressing their dissatisfaction?"


    When Wu Mo heard the news, heughed out loud.


    Were they doing this to change his mind?


    Wu Mo did not have to earn money. After all, money was meaningless to him in China.


    However, if they missed this opportunity, they would never have another chance!


    Wu Mo pondered for a moment and ordered, "Make a list of the people who didn''t buy anything today. Ban them from buying anything in the future!"


    "Alright, Mr. Wu."


    Everyone was extremely excited. It was clear that these people were not interested in Life No. 3.


    ''I''m sorry. I''ve made up my mind, so you''ll never get your hands on it!''


    The tycoons who were as rich as an entire country had no idea that Wu Mo had cklisted them.


    They were still self-righteous and wanted to achieve greater ambitions.


    However, as time passed, one of them suddenly felt regret.


    He realized that he might have made an irreversible mistake.


    "Well, what does it have to do with us?"


    He could not help but mutter in his heart.


    However, when he heard that Life No. 3 could extend one''s lifespan by a hundred years, his ambition was ignited once again.


    He swore to give it his all, at all costs.


    "This is unwillingness!"


    The arrogance and desire in his heart were revealed in his eyes.


    He couldn''t wait to return to the website and prepare to buy this magical potion.


    However, just as he clicked the purchase button, bad news popped up on the screen.


    "Ah! What happened?"


    He couldn''t help but burn with anger.


    All the purchasing channels that he had relied on were blocked.

 Chapter 775 Backstab

    Chapter 775 Backstab


    "This is impossible! Impossible!"


    The man gritted his teeth and roared angrily.


    However, no matter how much he roared, the truth was the truth. He was mercilessly rejected.


    As he roared in despair, others began to feel uneasy.


    However, they still believed that there would be no problems with their transaction.


    After all, this was a huge source of ie for Wu Mo. Why would he ban them?


    This confused everyone.


    The Chinese side remained silent and indifferent.


    However, the message behind this silence was like an undercurrent, indicating that all drugs would be cut off and sales would stop forever.


    Panic enveloped the entire world. People began to realize that they only knew how to cherish things after they lost them.


    They had never thought that these medicines would be so precious.


    Only now did they realize that without these medicines, their fate might be in danger.


    Everyone felt an invisible fear and admitted defeat.


    "Mr. Wu, we were wrong. We can pay double the price. Is that okay with you?"


    Someone tried to appease Wu Mo with tempting terms.


    However, he refused without hesitation and with a firm attitude.


    Some unscrupulous big shots reported this situation to China.


    They knew that if they couldn''t satisfy Wu Mo''s request, they would lose this powerful medicine forever.


    However, Wu Mo was unmoved. He rejected all the requests and was determined.


    Those who were not fated to obtain these medicines would forever be cklisted, destined to never be able to obtain these precious medicines again.


    This news spread all over the world, causing countless people to feel despair.


    However, to some people, it was good news!


    Because the people on the cklist had been eliminated, the only ones left were them.


    "Haha, Mr. Wu is really a god-like existence! This means that we can finally enjoy the benefits of all kinds of potions!"


    People were extremely excited. Some people even regarded Wu Mo as the savior of the world, thinking that he had saved the entire world.


    He was the greatest hero of mankind, worthy of the admiration of all!


    Some people were overjoyed, but some were worried.


    Humans got what they wanted, so they ignored the lives of others.


    Wu Mo had blocked their sales channels. This was like a p to many people''s faces!


    At the same time, God''s Eyepleted the first phase of its upgrade.


    From then on, China had a unique eye.


    It could look down into the distance, and nothing could escape its observation!


    However, today, Wu Mo was unexpectedly shocked.


    That was because those people''s actions were too crazy!


    Through God''s Eye, he could clearly see that every base on Earth had a fleet ready to attack China at any time!


    "What a joke. They actually dared to do this! If that''s the case, don''t me us Chinese for being ruthless!"


    Wu Mo snorted coldly. The other party did not know the immensity of heaven and earth, so he would not show mercy.


    He quickly came up with a n to intercept the fleet with long-range satellites and destroy it when the other partyunched an attack.


    Because if they were hit by a missile.


    The country behind them would suffer huge losses, which they could not afford.


    However, Wu Mo was extremely nervous. He had to subdue these people first.


    Otherwise, no one knew what crazy actions they would do next!


    In Wu Mo''s eyes, this seemed to be an extremely ordinary matter.


    However, his subordinates were shocked.


    "Oh, my God! Mr. Wu, what are you nning to do? Are we going to build the entire into a country?"


    Their hearts were beating fast and they were extremely excited.


    Wu Mo could imagine that he would create a new era in the future.


    However, at this moment, someone seemed to have revealed something to the old chief.


    He actually went straight to Wu Mo!


    Wu Mo, I understand what you mean, but we can''t do such a thing. It will cause many problems," the old chief said with a bitter smile.


    "Sir, if they still want to challenge us with their spaceships, I will use my methods to destroy them," Wu Mo said with a smile.


    The old chief understood what Wu Mo meant.


    He could only smile bitterly and say, "Yes, if that''s the case, of course I''ll fully support you." However, I will have a talk with them and hope that they won''t be so rash. You also understand that once this happens, the consequences will be unimaginable. No one will be able to bear it!"


    Wu Mo did not say anything. If these people dared to mess around, they could only wait for Brother Long''s newly developedser cannon.


    These terrifying creatures could destroy the entire universe.


    If they were all released on Earth, the consequences would be unimaginable.


    Just like that, this small matter passed.


    The old chief knew Wu Mo''s strength very well. Once he made a decision, even he could not stop him!


    After all, Wu Mo had created many important technologies, such as the Dragon Shield, the dome, God''s Eye...


    Every single one of them had been immensely helpful to mankind. They were the results of great research!


    When the representatives of the various countries heard this news, they couldn''t help but break out in cold sweat.


    "Oh, my God! Wu Mo already knew. We were almost scared out of our wits just now."


    When they heard the news, they could not help but feel their hair stand on end. They decided to immediately evacuate the ship.


    "What''s going on? Our warships are ready tounch a bombardment on China!"


    "That''s right. Even if we have to kill them, we have to make them bear the consequences. We can''t let them off!"


    "Although Wu Mo is strong, our strength cannot be underestimated. There''s no need to feel inferior."


    At this moment, their leader really had the urge to defeat them with a punch!


    "Foolish guy, Wu Mo has made great contributions to mankind. You can''t nder him like this!"


    They were severely criticized and kicked out of their posts.


    China also understood that they were doing this to exin to Wu Mo.


    Otherwise, those starships wouldn''t have appeared out of nowhere.


    Wu Mo didn''t care about this. He had long seen through the sinister intentions of these people.


    Even though the old chief had asked him to stop, he would continue to watch these people and see what they would do next.


    By the time God''s Eye covered the entire, the diameter of the had already exceeded ten light-years.


    "I''m still far from it!"


    Wu Mo shook his head.


    Ten light-years was far from enough for him. No one could guarantee that their exploration distance was far enough.


    Otherwise, they wouldn''t even be able to observe from a distance of thirty light-years!


    If the Pirnaians could do this, why would they force him to a dead end?


    If they knew about the existence of the human race, they would definitely not be so rash.


    This lesson made Wu Mo understand the true purpose of eliminating the Pirnaians.


    Thus, in this war, vision and confidence were crucial.

 Chapter 776 - 776: Another Planet That’s Feasible for Living

    Chapter 776 - 776: Another That¡¯s Feasible for Living


    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion


    ¡°Mr. Wu, perhaps this God¡¯s Eye that you¡¯ve mentioned can expand its detection range with the help of dark matter?¡± one of his subordinates suddenly suggested.


    Wu Mo was slightly taken aback. He then nodded and smiled. ¡°Yes, you¡¯re right. However, you have to be careful. Even dark matter might not be able to expand its range of detection!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s odd, Mr. Wu. How can we maximize it then?¡±


    His subordinate was confused. Wu Mo imed that dark matter could not achieve such an effect.


    However, everyone knew that the source of this power was definitely one of the strongest in the world.<div>


    Wu Mo smiled. ¡°We can use the energy reserves of Pirna to build a new exploration base there. The two bases can work together and do the detecting at the same time.¡±


    Ah, so that was how it was!


    His subordinate was stunned to hear his exnation.


    Wu Mo was being too bold!


    ording to him, the two space bases would face each other and monitor the surrounding thirty light-years.


    This n seemed a little grand and ahead of its time.


    Before long, the people on Pirna received news that the energy reserves were ready, and they could be used for battle at any time!


    It was almost impossible to use up such a huge energy reserve.


    Now, they could use this energy to easily build a base in space.


    Soon after, Wu Mo¡¯s n came true. With the cooperation of the two space bases, they uncovered everything within thirty light-years!


    However, Wu Mo did not rx.


    He could clearly see many civilizeds thirty light-years away from him.


    ¡°Heavens. Is there going to be an interster war?!¡± one of his assistants suddenly said.


    There were manys in this starry sky, and all kinds of creatures lived on each of them.


    Wu Mo discovered that there was a within the range of the high-definition God¡¯s Eye. It was more than 180,000 kilometers away from Earth.


    The difference was that the human civilization on this was not highly advanced.


    They only knew how to dress, start a fire, cook, and build houses!


    Their lifestyle was somewhat simr to Earth in ancient times. But in this civilized world, its people proudly believed that their future would be better than the present.


    Wu Mo was instantly drawn to it!


    This was the former Earth. Should he help them?


    ¡°Mr. Wu, a of this level is too far behind. Why don¡¯t we conquer that?¡±


    An officer suddenly noticed a huge opportunity.


    If they could conquer the other, they could build a huge space base there.


    The was definitely of a higher status than Dark Star and Eternal Sun.


    However, Wu Mo thought about it and shook his head.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need for that. Although this is in a good location, we don¡¯t have to conquer it. At most, we¡¯ll make contact and let them develop on their own.¡±


    After that, arge-scale live broadcast event was held around the world.


    The event would document China¡¯s spaceship traveling to a mysterious 180,000 kilometers away. They were going to show the world the way of life on that.


    Everyone was interested.


    ¡°Heavens! The situation on this is intriguing. We all want to know what¡¯s happening!¡± someone said excitedly.


    More people poured into the live broadcast room curiously.


    In just a few seconds, the number of online viewers had exceeded one billion!


    Everything Wu Mo did started with many people.


    Although this wasn¡¯t about Wu Mo, the moment his name was mentioned, everyone was in a heated discussion!


    Right now, everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on the sky. A huge was hidden in the universe.


    ¡°Wow! Look at that. It¡¯s 100% simr to our home!¡±


    Everyone was surprised to find that it was no different from their.


    Upon closer inspection, it had multiple sides and a slight bulge in the middle like a huge mirror image.


    In addition, everyone had heard that there were various races living on this. They each had their own uniquenguage and culture.


    The scene before them aroused their curiosity, and they all came up with different spections.


    ¡°Hey, look over there. There seems to be a pool of liquid!¡± someone suddenly eximed.


    Everyone looked at a rock and found a pool of liquid on it.


    Liquid was undoubtedly an indispensable foundation for the birth of life.


    With water, it was likely that there were more than just native creatures on this.


    Wu Mo came to this on a sailing ship and experienced the rtively primitive way of life there.


    His appearance was explosive!


    ¡°Oh, my God! Isn¡¯t that Wu Mo from China?¡±


    ¡°No way! Wow, my favorite person is actually here!¡±


    ¡°Haha, with him participating in the show, the viewership ratings will definitely go up exponentially!¡±


    At this moment, the number of viewers soared to two billion!


    Everyone was shocked. They did not expect a live interster broadcast to attract such arge audience.


    What was the meaning of this?


    Some people were at a loss. It was as if they were watching the anchor of an outdoor adventure program on an online tform. They thought that the program was very interesting.


    But why was it so slow?!


    When they discovered that two billion viewers were watching the live broadcast online, they immediately assumed that it was a lie!


    They found it impossible. How could so many people watch a live broadcast?


    What was going on?


    Everyone flocked toward it.


    However, when they realized that the streamer in the live broadcast was Wu Mo from China, they werepletely stunned!


    ¡°Wow! It¡¯s Mr. Wu! He¡¯ll definitely be able to figure out what¡¯s going on.¡±


    ¡°Okay. Let¡¯s see what Mr. Wu says on the live broadcast today.¡±


    Since they were puzzled, they clicked on Wu Mo¡¯s live broadcast.


    However, when they saw Wu Mo announcing that he was exploring a primitive, they smiled bitterly.


    Gosh, he was broadcasting a ¡°local wilderness trip¡± while on an expedition to an extraterrestrial civilization. They were onpletely different levels!


    In their opinion, Mr. Wu was putting on a terrible show.


    Nevertheless, it did not take long for the female host to be addicted to Wu Mo¡¯s live broadcasts, and she became one of his fans.


    She even dropped the subject of the live stream and began to carefully observe the alien civilization!


    The was filled with trees and all kinds of nts. It also had flowing rivers.


    Wu Mo¡¯s camera also captured a few other races living in low houses.


    Each alien race had a pair of big, innocent eyes that flickered with hope. They looked abnormally cute.


    Someone sighed. ¡°So, our universe isn¡¯t just filled with lofty creatures. There are also primitive and cute little creatures.¡±


    Right then, everyone saw the creatures. Naturally, Wu Mo saw them too, so he walked toward the small houses.


    Everyone was taken aback!

 Chapter 777 - 777: The Planet’s Strange Natives

    Chapter 777 - 777: The¡¯s Strange Natives


    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion


    ¡°Mr. Wu, be careful. Those aliens might attack us!¡± someone reminded. However, Wu Mo did not care. He believed that these primitive aliens would not pose any threat to him.


    One should know that Wu Mo was extremely powerful.


    Almost no one could hurt him at close range even when he was unprepared.


    At this moment, Wu Mo noticed a group of aliens.


    It looked like they just returned home. They had all kinds of creatures in their hands, which they threw in the courtyard!<div>


    Wu Mo found it strange. Why were these aliens still hunting for food?


    Did they not know how to grow vegetables and grains?


    He suddenly realized that if someone could inspire them, their civilization would make great progress.


    Therefore, Wu Mo decided to give it a try.


    When the aliens saw Wu Mo, they were all stunned, and their hearts were filled with fear.


    Meanwhile, the audience of the live broadcast burst intoughter!


    ¡°Haha! Mr. Wu, don¡¯t y tricks. They probably think you¡¯ll cheat!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. Mr. Wu should give them a guide on how to be stronger!¡±


    ¡°This ce is really interesting. I wonder when we¡¯ll get to pay a visit. When that happens, I¡¯ll be a king!¡±


    All theizens discussed it fervently.


    They were highly interested in everything that was happening on the, especially regarding any mysterious power that might exist.


    It felt like they had already reached the peak. Now, they just had to send a low-level yer there to fight off the monsters and show off their skills. How glorious!


    Humans enjoyed being vain, and this time was no exception.


    Everyone hoped that someone would respect them and worship them like gods.


    As Wu Mo looked at the aliens, their eyes were filled with endless fear.


    It was no surprise. After all, what kind of existence was Wu Mo?


    ¡°Wulijinmalu!¡± a short alien creature suddenly screamed.


    It was obviously frightened, and its entire body was trembling.


    Wu Moughed andforted it.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. I have no ill intentions. I¡¯m just trying to help your race be more advanced.¡±


    Wu Mo¡¯s words stunned the extraterrestrials, while those watching online burst intoughter!


    ¡°Mr. Wu, stop joking. You¡¯re too funny,¡± someone teased.


    Wu Mo finally made his move, but he was not in a hurry.


    A microchip suddenly appeared in his hand.


    With this chip, he couldmunicate in all kinds ofnguages.


    Wu Mo then used the chip to urately trante what he wanted to say to the alien creature in front of him.


    The alien¡¯s eyes lit up.


    In fact, Wu Mo¡¯s appearance and the navigation ship might have made them believe that a terrifying creature was about tond on their!


    However, there were fortune-tellers in their race who could predict that people from another world woulde to support them.


    Therefore, in their eyes, Wu Mo was like an omnipotent god, and they gave him a warm wee!


    The scene changed, and the viewers could now see all the buildings.


    ¡°Wow, that¡¯s made from animal fur. Just looking at it makes me jealous.¡± ¡°What¡¯s so great about it? Look at that teacup. It looks like it¡¯s made of whole teeth!¡±


    ¡°Whoa! What about those wild beasts over there? I¡¯m so envious. It¡¯s a pity that we don¡¯t have a chance to be there.¡±


    Soon, everyone was shocked to discover the high level of technology there.


    Wu Mo had yet to reveal the purpose of his visit when he entered the building. The people had already prepared a table full of sumptuous dishes for him. These were true delicacies. They did not need any extra seasonings, only the simplest ingredients!


    After dinner, everyone was very satisfied. However, Wu Mo¡¯s next words stunned everyone present.


    ¡°Your technological level is still very low. You need to learn how to grow vegetables, read, and build all kinds of vehicles!¡±


    Wu Mo¡¯s words shocked the aliens.


    He prepared a pen and paper for them and began to teach them how to read. One could say that these extraterrestrial creatures were highly intelligent. They were much smarter than the humans were in the past. They were fast learners.


    Before long, Wu Mo took out something that looked like a car and shook it.


    A group of the aliens excitedly made a strange ¡°wu wu¡± sound.


    Wu Mo allowed them to drive the car themselves so that they could experience the true joy of driving!


    What happened next was beyond his expectations.


    The seemingly primitive race actually started to dismantle the parts of this car! ¡°What are you guys doing? If you do that, it won¡¯t be able to function properly!¡± Wu Mo said in their dialect.


    However, the aliens ignored Wu Mo¡¯s words and continued to dismantle the car.


    Soon, the car that was originally intact turned into a pile of spare parts. Everyone was dumbfounded.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? They destroyed such a good car. They must be crazy!¡±


    ¡°Mr. Wu spent a lot of money on that car to help their civilization. I didn¡¯t expect them to be so ignorant.¡±


    ¡°Just ignore them, Mr. Wu. Go out and look at the forest!¡±


    Theizens leftments one after another.


    In their opinion, these extraterrestrials had not learned anything. They were of no help at all!


    However, Wu Mo¡¯s eyes suddenly focused as if he realized something.


    That¡¯s right. The low-level aliens had taken the car apart, and a few of them had begun to modify some of the important parts.


    For instance, they made changes to the performance of the engine, the configuration of the transmission, and the stability of the chassis.


    With a little adjustment, the car would be more stable.


    After the aliens pinpointed three key parts, they began to work in an orderly manner.


    They skillfully operated the tools and carried out the assembly work at a moderate pace.


    The seeminglyplicated parts were like Lego in their hands.


    ¡°How is that possible? They can¡¯t do that. I bet they¡¯ll miss a lot of parts after the assembly!¡± aizen suddenly said.


    In his opinion, how could these strange aliens do such a huge workload?


    After all, it was easy to disassemble, but assembling was very technical.


    This was especially true for high-tech products like cars!


    Right then, the shock that Wu Mo felt far exceeded that of ordinaryizens. He never expected this group of aliens to do such an incredible thing.


    They took apart a car, modified it, and reassembled it.


    This was definitely not something a primitive civilization could do..

    ¡°The level of their civilization is so low that they don¡¯t even know how to grow vegetables. They only know how to hunt. They live in the simplest adobe houses and use crude words. However, they managed to develop the structure of a modern car!¡±


    Wu Mo examined the world once again, his heart filled with shock.


    Who taught them the knowledge of the engine?


    Who made them so familiar with these things?


    Could it be that this technical knowledge was in their genes?


    A soul-stirring battle began. Everyone held their breaths.


    Everyone widened their eyes. They wondered if these aliens could really build aplete car!


    Wu Mo was so excited that he couldn¡¯t help but take out his camera and record this shocking scene.


    Without hesitation, everyone began to reassemble car models one after another. They paid attention to every detail.


    Thest car waspleted, and there was not a single screw missing!


    ¡°This is unbelievable!¡±


    For a moment, the entire Inte was in an uproar.


    No one expected them to do it.


    Not only did they assemble a brand-new car, but they also modified it.


    Then, he picked up some simple tools and started to barbecue on the ground.


    This series of changes was so strange that everyone was dumbfounded and could note back to their senses for a long time!


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Do they have any special abilities?¡±


    This question appeared in someone¡¯s mind.


    Suddenly, Wu Mo took out a machine and began to analyze the alien creatures.


    He suddenly realized that this was the case!


    Obviously, these extraterrestrial creatures had already raised their intelligence and precision machinery to a rtively high level.


    The only difference seemed to be that their living standards did not improve significantly!


    Therefore, these people had outstanding talent in research.


    ¡°Great! These people are all geniuses!¡±


    Wu Mo couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    After he said that, he immediately sent an urgent message to his home.


    ¡°Send arge amount of information immediately!¡±


    Then, Wu Mo realized that his notebook was filled with math, chemistry, physics, architecture, and other design sketches.


    Every design was a half-finished product or aplete product. In any case, it represented an extremelyplicated mission!


    They had to stop halfway through their research.


    If anyone else knew what Wu Mo was doing, they would think that he was crazy!


    He did this because he hoped that the foreign races could continue to perfect these ¡± designs ¡± before they werepleted.


    ¡°It can¡¯t be. Mr. Wu¡¯s evaluation of those aliens is too high!¡±


    ¡°Yeah. I don¡¯t believe it either. How did those aliens do it?¡±


    Everyone felt that Wu Mo was going to be unlucky this time.


    It was simply too difficult for a bunch of primitive alien creatures who had not even met the basic survival standards to learn mathematics, physics, chemistry, and all kinds ofplicated engineering designs!


    This was like asking a pig to fly. It waspletely impossible.


    However, Wu Mo did not care about what others thought of him.


    He showed the aliens every design and exined it in anguage they could understand.


    ¡°As long as you can produce these designs, I will give you convenience in your lives and let you have better living conditions.¡±


    With Wu Mo¡¯s promise, the eyes of the aliens immediately lit up.


    It was as if it had suddenly been lit up and emitted a bright light.


    Wu Moughed out loud. Then, he saw those people take out a few more designs and study them seriously.


    At first, they were still discussing and pondering over something on the paper.


    In the end, everyone gradually fell silent. Their eyes were fixed on the map before them, and fine beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads. It was obvious that they had all invested in this design.


    ¡®Oh, these guys don¡¯t seem to be simple folk. Regr folk wouldn¡¯t have realized this. Their faces are tense, so I wonder if they understand how difficult it is.¡¯ Wu Mo thought.


    Without sufficient talent and ability, it would be difficult to understand the intricacies of the book even if one read it a thousand times.


    At the very least, they could understand the basic concept of the design, which was why they felt so troubled.


    Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t be sweating profusely and not saying a word in such a situation!


    In the live broadcast, the audience also noticed something strange. Why did the aliens seem to be able to understand their conversation?


    However, they also realized that those designs were as difficult to understand as a book!


    In other words, in this world, even if he had a good education, they were still inferior to a random alien?


    Thinking of this, everyone wanted tough out loud.


    Time passed quietly.


    Five hourster, an alien creature walked over and shouted.


    Wu Mo took the blueprint and took a closer look. He was immediately shocked!


    Yes, he had solved one of the problems.


    The construction of this bridge was quite difficult. There were cliffs on both ends, and the angle and length were quite tricky.


    To solve this problem from one aspect, he had to strengthen the bridge structure so that it could better integrate with the cliffs on both sides.


    This was a rather tedious process, and it requiredprehensive consideration of terrain, climate, and many other factors.


    Otherwise, the bridge might copse, and someone¡¯s life would be on the line!


    However, he had never expected that those foreign tribes would actually deduce all the possible situations and finally adopt the safestpromise.


    Of course, this n was not perfect.


    However, there seemed to be only one way to build such a bridge, and that was to learn from the experience of alien civilizations.


    ¡°Not bad!¡± Wu Mo praised.


    One could imagine how much of an impact those extraterrestrial creatures had on him!


    These extraterrestrial creatures were really powerful. Their way of thinking was daunting.


    Wu Mo suddenly realized that he could build a huge knowledge pce on this alien.


    The people who were born here were probably all genius engineers!


    In other words, this simplycked sufficient manpower.


    As long as their survival problem was solved, the development speed of this would be astonishing.


    Therefore, Wu Mo had an idea and dialed a number.


    ¡°Hurry up! We need at least one million people to participate in the construction of this¡­¡±


    Just as China announced Wu Mo¡¯s request, countless people from all over the world signed up to participate.


    Yes, they were all filled with passion.


    Because they knew that as long as it was Wu Mo who did it, he would not treat anyone unfairly!


    This also meant that if everything was sessful.


    All volunteers would be rewarded handsomely, so why not work harder?


    Then, everyone went to China to register.


    When he saw the number of people, he was stunned..

    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion ¡® Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion


    ¡°Oh, my God! We brought you to this primitive, yet you are so enthusiastic.¡±


    Of course, these were all privatements and couldn¡¯t be said openly. Otherwise, some people might not be willing toe!


    At this time, Wu Mo had never expected so many people to volunteer.


    But for him, this was a good thing, because he needed them to do a lot of things.


    Soon, millions of people boarded a huge spaceship and set off for the mysterious.


    On thisnd, Wu Mo had a grand vision. He wanted to turn this ce into a high-level world.


    One had to know that these local residents living on Earth were all proficient in science, mathematics, and technology. How could they not live a better life? On this, there were nearly a million volunteers. Soon, they were assigned tasks.


    Not long after, some people began to farm, some nted vegetables, and some began to build houses.


    This was the most basic step, and everyone was happy.


    ¡°Look at those guys, how do they work!¡± Someonemented excitedly. ¡°That¡¯s right. Even if they have to do some hard work, I can imagine how good Mr. Wu will treat them in the future.¡± Another person echoed.


    ¡°Haha, who cares if it¡¯s fair or not? This is clearly working for someone else. What benefits do I get?¡± Another person mocked disdainfully.


    However, many people did not think so, so they did not join this volunteer activity.


    However, watching them work hard in the live broadcast, the audience was not tired of it, as if they were watching a wonderful performance.


    Wu Mo led a group of people to explore.


    The first thing he had to do was to investigate the geographical location of the and divide it reasonably.


    Which ces were suitable for nting crops, which ces could be used to build houses, and so on.


    His first task was to divide all the Urban area so that he could develop them better.


    He did this because he wanted to make thisnd more beautiful.


    However, not everyone could understand Wu Mo¡¯s kindness.


    Suddenly, a member of the foreign race rushed in and hurriedly spoke for a while!


    Wu Mo finally understood theirnguage because they were all using themonnguage.


    It turned out that the person just now had said that their leader had some treasures buried underground.


    Because he believed that Wu Mo was a good person, he nned to give these treasures to them!


    Ah! I actually found a treasure. What a surprise.¡±


    Wu Mo smiled and shook his head. Then, he asked the man to bring him to see their leader.


    At this moment, although the old patriarch was old.


    However, he still hunched over and walked step by step towards the location where the treasure was buried.


    He kept babbling¡­


    After a while, he finally expressed his feelings.


    That treasure was the blood and sweat of their ancestors. It was buried here now to be given to a friendly person like Wu Mo.


    ¡°Yes!¡± Wu Mo replied. He called out to his two subordinates and started digging.


    Soon, they dug out a box.


    When he opened the box, the scene suddenly fell silent!


    There was actually a tooth in the box?


    His teeth were a little yellow, which meant that he had been through many years.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Wu Mo hurriedly asked in themonnguage.


    However, he sounded a little serious when he spoke.


    It was a strange alien that had visited this.


    The aliens told them at that time.


    One day, this would be conquered by a higher-level space civilization.


    At that time, everyone would be stronger.


    Since then, the foreign races in this world regarded this tooth as the most precious relic and had been collecting it until now.


    Wu Mo was stunned when he heard this. Could it be that there was really a that said that they would descend here?


    Then, what kind of races existed in this world?


    ¡°Mr. Wu, this is too strange. Does this mean that everything we do will be monitored?¡± Someone sighed.


    Wu Mo nodded. He also had the same thought, but there was nothing he could do at the moment. He could only act ording to the situation.


    ¡°In that case, let¡¯s take your treasure first and then work together to excavate everything here!¡± he said.


    The old chief had nothing to say and could only nod his head, letting his subordinates and Wu Mo¡¯s people work together.


    The first thing they had to do was to open up a vegetable garden and start nting all kinds of vegetables.


    One had to know that these barbarians had never even tasted vegetables. They only knew how to eat wild fruits!


    If arge piece of vegetables was ced on the table, what kind of spectacr scene would it be?


    Everyone was excited, including Wu Mo.


    Everyone focused their eyes and an even more shocking scene appeared in front of them.


    There was only one reason for all this, and that was the rapid growth of vegetables!


    Thus, everyone noticed this problem and was extremely surprised.


    They all felt that the vegetables were growing too quickly. How could new vegetables grow so quickly?


    Wu Mo used a new type of biotechnology to greatly increase the growth speed of the ingredients.


    Even so, the taste and nutritional value of the ingredients did not decrease at all!


    If it were anyone else, they would definitely think that this was a lie.


    Because the growth cycle of vegetables was regr, shortening it might affect the taste and even be harmful to the body.


    However, after hearing Wu Mo¡¯s words, everyone else believed him.


    This was because the drugs he had developed were all beyond their understanding!


    The creatures living on the savages were ecstatic after tasting the delicacies of the human race.


    ¡°Kuruknu.¡±


    He even said a bunch of strange things.


    It was as if he had never tasted such a heavenly delicacy in his life.


    ¡°After tasting it today, I was extremely touched. I feel that this taste will never be forgotten for the rest of my life!¡± he said excitedly.


    Wu Mo chuckled, thinking that this guy was too exaggerated.


    It was just a few ordinary cabbages.


    Wu Mo nned to grow more different vegetables here so that the indigenous people could enjoy more sumptuous food.


    In addition, he also locked some wild animals in cages to ensure that they could continue to survive and provide adequate nutrition for these primitive animals.


    This area was a hilly area, and many wild beasts lived in the dense forest.


    However, these wild beasts were extremely hot-tempered, and it was not easy to tame them!


    Wu Mo had his own n. He was the first to lead an elite troop into the forest.


    A huge wild boar was looking for food in the forest!


    Soon, the wild boar sensed their presence and let out a low roar.


    It was obvious that the wild boar was warning the intruders to get lost.


    However, Wu Mo only smiled faintly.


    He was not here to please this wild boar. How could he leave just like that?


    Thus, he continued walking forward.


    This actionpletely angered the wild boar.. It suddenly took two steps back and then rushed forward!

 Chapter 780 - 780: Global Crisis

    Chapter 780: Global Crisis


    Trantor: End less Fantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion


    Boom!


    The wild boar galloped over at a speed that made the surrounding trees tremble.


    The next moment, it opened its bloody mouth and went straight for Wu Mo¡¯s chest.


    However, Wu Mo extended his hand and grabbed the creature effortlessly.


    Chi chi chi!


    The wild boar¡¯s two fangs turned into ash at an astonishing speed.


    Everyone present was shocked.


    How did he do it?


    Even though the wild boar could not speak any humannguages, it was also in disbelief.


    Nevertheless, it suppressed the doubts in its heart and ran the other way.


    ¡°Haha. Are you trying to run?¡±


    Wu Mo waved his hand, and two soldiers rushed forward with their weapons. Soon, they tied up the wild boar.


    Then, he walked in the direction of the other world.


    The wild boar struggled, but Wu Mo used a biochemical anesthetic to destroy all the resistance neurons in its body.


    With that, it stopped struggling.


    It was likely that its offspring would inherit this trait.


    Just as the primitive folk were about to dissect the wild boar¡¯s corpse, Wu Mo firmly objected.


    ¡°Why? Do you want to roast it?¡± a soldier asked in confusion.


    At this moment, even the soldiers were confused.


    Wu Mo had spent so much effort to catch this wild boar, so why wouldn¡¯t he enjoy it?


    He smiled and exined, ¡°This wild boar is known as a progenitor. I want its offspring to inherit its genes and obey our orders.¡±


    So, that was the case.


    Mr. Wu had nned this thoroughly!


    When the soldiers heard his exnation, they were extremely excited.


    Although the primitive people did not understand what was happening, they could only listen to Wu Mo¡¯s orders and suppress the excitement in their hearts.


    The audience watching the live broadcastughed so hard that they were swaying back and forth.


    They did not expect Wu Mo to say something so funny!


    ¡°Haha. Mr. Wu is a master of humor!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. How can this thing be a progenitor!¡±


    ¡°Can¡¯t you see? Is Mr. Wu deliberately causing a gic mutation in this pig so that its offspring can inherit it? Is this going to affect the stability of our race?¡± ¡°I study biology. This is indeed feasible!¡± aizen who imed to be a biology student expressed his opinion.


    There was a lot of discussion online. Some felt that Wu Mo¡¯s actions were a little outrageous, but many also thought that what he said made sense.


    After all, if he went through with it, the entire pigman race might undergo a huge change in the future.


    They werepletely convinced by Earth¡¯s indigenous race!


    As time passed, the number of volunteers continued to increase.


    Many even volunteered to travel to this to build a new home for the primitive people.


    However, plenty of people were simply interested in this ce. They wanted to experience the scenery and have some fun.


    Wu Mo only had one purpose foring here, and that was to be stronger!


    As time passed, the number of volunteers continued to increase. Soon, there were more than a thousand people, and they began to work on new construction projects.


    Wu Mo looked around; there were already more than a hundred plots ofnd on the vegetable field¡¯s open space.


    They had begun to build structures that were dedicated to raising livestock on these plots ofnd.


    The construction workers made full use of China¡¯s construction technology.


    Dozens of houses were built at an amazing speed.


    They did it in just a few days, so it was truly fast!


    Wu Mo noticed that they followed the normal construction process to build everything. Apart from their lower height, these buildings were not much different from the ones on Earth.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, we¡¯vepleted the task ording to your requirements. Now, we¡¯ll start building based on your design so that you can have your residential area here.¡±


    The chief designer came to Wu Mo¡¯s side with a few designs.


    Wu Mo nodded and smiled. ¡°You¡¯ve done a good job. You can design the rest but make it look grand.¡±


    ¡°I also want it to befortable. As long as you can do that, nothing else matters!¡± he added.


    The designer was incredibly grateful for Wu Mo¡¯s trust in him.


    He nodded and began to follow Wu Mo¡¯s wishes. He imagined a perfect country in his mind.


    At the same time, Wu Mo returned to his home, Earth.


    The current situation was just as he had expected. He did not need to stay there to guard the ce.


    Wu Mo had just returned when he received an urgent message from the Astronomy Department. The message seemed highly urgent!


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? What¡¯s so urgent?¡±


    Wu Mo frowned and stared at the screen.


    Eventually, he found the emergency order. Following strict protocol, no one else could see it.


    However, when Wu Mo saw it, his heart skipped a beat, and he cursed internally!


    There seemed to be a huge red in the distant space, and it was moving in their direction at an extremely high speed.


    Step by step, it approached.


    This meant that the would collide with Earth in the near future.


    It was a terrifying sight!


    ¡°Ah! How can this be? A giant is about to crash into our home?¡±


    He was shocked.


    Not long after, he held a small internal meeting.


    Besides Wu Mo, there were also some representatives from other countries that had good rtions with China.


    At this moment, everyone was incredibly anxious. Their lives were on the line since this was about to descend!


    ¡°Is there any way to explode this?¡± a representative asked.


    His country was too weak. Once they were hit by a, there would be no chance of escape!


    One should know that some powerful countries still had an option. They could take their spaceships and leave this. They could head to Eternal Sun, Dark Star, or even Pirna.


    How would the poorer countries protect themselves?


    They alsocked a sufficiently powerful fleet to support long-distance voyages!


    Therefore, their current was their only home.


    Everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on Wu Mo. They knew that only he could deal with all of this!


    Wu Mo pondered for a while and slowly said, ¡°This is approaching really fast. We need to calcte the time it will take to hit Earth. Only then can we formte a better countermeasure!¡±


    After they heard Wu Mo¡¯s words, the scientists immediately made some calctions.


    The would collide with Earth in two to three days at most!

    ¡°How did it reach such a speed?¡±


    Wu Mo was stunned to hear this.


    No one expected everything to develop so quickly.


    Time was running out, and everyone was in a hurry.


    However, Wu Mo needed to calm down and think of a way to deal with this terrifying crisis!<div>


    All of a sudden, the surrounding people felt the temperature rise. Were they imagining it?


    ¡°Do you feel the temperature rising?¡± someone asked.


    Everyone agreed that they felt it after some time.


    However, Wu Mo¡¯s expression turned into one of horror!


    ¡°I think everyone senses a change because that¡¯s temperature is abnormally high. The heat is actually able to travel such a long distance.¡±


    His words made their faces turn pale.


    This was impossible!


    ¡°Oh, my God. Is this a sign of the end of the world?¡± a representative said worriedly.


    Everyone felt a sense of foreboding. Humanity had built such a powerful civilization, but was it about to be destroyed by another?


    ¡®Wait. Mr. Wu, this has been motionless all this time. I saw it myself. Why would it suddenly approach us? This is too strange!¡± a representative asked.


    Wu Mo nodded and exined with a smile, ¡°There is no reference, but this will suffer the same oue. That¡¯s why we¡¯re doing this and not making any rash decisions.¡±


    ¡°Sigh. Why are things always so troublesome?!¡±


    He shook his head. It was tooplicated, so he decided not to think about it anymore.


    The only thing they needed to consider was how to destroy the approaching in the shortest time possible.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, why don¡¯t we try the high-energy particle cannon? I think we can use


    it to blow up that.¡±


    Even the senior representatives felt that this suggestion made sense.


    After all, cosmic rays were second only to high-energy rays, and high-energy cosmic rays were considered more advanced.


    A cannon like that was obviously the most effective method!


    However, Wu Mo slowly shook his head after some consideration.


    ¡°Why not, Mr. Wu? What would happen?¡±


    Everyone was confused.


    Wu Mo continued to exin, ¡°The explosion of high-energy particles will release a huge amount of energy. If we destroy this, it will cause arge-scale meteor shower that will annihte us!


    They were taken aback by his exnation.


    ¡°Yeah¡­ Why didn¡¯t we think of that?¡± Theyughed bitterly.


    Based on what Wu Mo said, this meant death.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, do you have any good suggestions?¡±


    Everyone was close to losing all hope. They could only pray that Wu Mo could create a miracle and save the people on Earth.


    Wu Mo pondered for a moment and seriously said, ¡°We can build a shelter and ask everyone to hide. That way, we can avoid this disaster.¡± ¡°That¡¯s too difficult, Mr. Wu. How can we withstand such a huge meteorite? No matter how strong our defense is, we¡¯ll be instantly killed!¡± an old man with white hair said.


    The onlookers all nodded. They felt that Wu Mo was being too idealistic.


    Who could escape a cmity like that?


    The old man shook his head slightly when he heard Wu Mo¡¯s words because he found it unrealistic.


    Despite that, Wu Mo was not discouraged. ¡°In that case, let¡¯s relocate the and build a shelter!¡±


    ¡°What? Relocate a? Mr. Wu, you¡¯re not lying to us, are you?


    Everyone was dumbfounded.


    Making a huge deviate from its orbit was simply a fantasy. Furthermore, had Wu Mo ever thought that once a broke away from Earth¡¯s gravity, it might fly further into space?


    At that time, the huge impact would cause them to fall apart.


    Everyone would have nowhere to hide and no ce to live.


    Would that not be more terrifying than being hit by a?


    Everyone wondered if there was something wrong with Wu Mo¡¯s brain for him toe up with such a crazy idea.


    However, he smiled proudly.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ve developed a mysterious instrument that can keep the in bnce in its orbit but avoid the sun!¡±


    ¡°Huh? What godly skills. Mr. Wu, are you sure you¡¯re not lying to us?¡±


    Everyone was stunned. They did not expect him to say this.


    How could this be part of scientific research? It was as if God was using His divine power to save the world!


    No one would believe that it was a scientific invention.


    Nevertheless, Wu Mo had faith in himself!


    If he had a divine artifact, he could gradually change the trajectory of the and make it deviate from its original orbit.


    Once it was over, everything would be back on track!


    At this moment, Wu Mo shared his thoughts in the hopes that everyone would cooperate with him.


    However, they were all stunned!


    Everyone was focused on Wu Mo in the small conference room. They were trying to dissuade him from this crazy n.


    Yet, the old chief remained silent for some reason.


    ¡°Everyone in China has gone crazy. Wu Mo has gone crazy too. How could he have such an insane idea? We have to escape quickly. We might die because of them!¡±


    Many people had simr thoughts, but they dared not say it out loud.


    As such, they decided to escape! At this rate, they would most likely be crushed to death by the.


    When else should they escape if not now? What were they waiting for? Therefore, as soon as the meeting ended, the representatives of several small countries contacted the traveling spaceships.


    If their country did not have such technology, they could only seek help from greater countries and head to Eternal Sun. They would take refuge there and avoid this terrifying attack.


    If Wu Mo seeded, they would be able to regain control of their country. Although their n seemed good, they would soon realize that Wu Mo¡¯s n was not a fantasy. It was feasible!


    ¡°Wu Mo, I don¡¯t understand your n at all.¡±


    After the meeting, the old chief walked to Wu Mo¡¯s side and spoke in confusion. Wu Mo smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Chief. The ¡®miracle¡¯ we require doesn¡¯t need to be implemented on the surface of this. We only need to build a space base,bine a few spaceships, and then move the entire to Earth through high-tech means.¡±


    The old chief felt dizzy from listening to Wu Mo¡¯s exnation.


    However, one thing was certain: Wu Mo would definitely do something incredible!


    ¡°Alright, Wu Mo. Since you¡¯ve made your choice, we¡¯ll support you with all our might. But you have to be careful not to destroy everything.. After all, this is our home!¡±

    The old chief said that because he knew how capable Wu Mo was.


    If Wu Mo made a move, he would not be able to stop him at all.


    Wu Mo nodded. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I have faith in my master n. I will not allow this to be destroyed.¡±


    He understood what the old chief was worried about.


    After all, even he had the same worries!


    Since no one understood the principle behind it, everyone just assumed that he had his own reasons for doing this.


    In the end, Wu Mo gathered a team of students from the top aviation academies.


    ¡ö¡¯Everyone, we need toe up with a more ambitious n. I hope you can follow the blueprint.¡±


    Wu Mo ced a map on a huge projector and carefully observed the fleet¡¯s reaction.


    The outstanding pilots appeared solemn because the things disyed on the screen were tooplicated!


    Pulling off such a formation required great skills.


    Nevertheless, they all nodded.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, setting up this magic formation is not a problem. But how long do we have to maintain it?¡±


    This was an important question. It might not be a problem for an instant, but it would be extremely difficult to do for a long time!


    ¡°Can you maintain it for an hour?¡± Wu Mo asked.


    Two hours passed, and everyone was caught in a dilemma.


    In their opinion, it was not easy to remain in formation for an hour, let alone two hours.


    However, Wu Mo only gave them two days to prepare. It was an almost impossible task!


    They found his request really challenging.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, can we find a suitable spot to build a fixed tform and hover the teleportation array over it?¡± someone suggested.


    ¡°Yeah! Why didn¡¯t we think of that?!¡±


    Everyone came to a realization when they heard his suggestion.


    They had been too anxious earlier. Hence, they could note up with a good idea!


    Wu Mo was overjoyed.


    ¡°Yes! That¡¯s a brilliant idea,¡± he praised.


    Although it was a simple idea, it was extremely effective.


    People tended not to think of ways to work together. Everyone only cared about doing their own thing.


    As long as they remained in their respective positions, they would be able to form aplete formation.


    Wu Mo quickly distributed the map to everyone, and they all found their positions on it.


    He could now set up aplicated formation at any time!


    In addition, everyone could maintain it for a long time without consuming too much energy.


    ¡°In that case, we should be able to hold the formation for ten hours!¡± The pilots reassured Wu Mo that they would safely carry this mission out.


    He nodded, and he was delighted with the results of their meeting.


    He also found that the python was quite sharp. Perhaps it could be of help in the future.


    With that, the basic magical framework waspleted.


    Wu Mo only needed a powerful force to help him!


    This power would undoubtedlye from Pirna.


    Besides, it had such a rich energy reserve, which could be used at any time.


    Soon, the energy from Pirna arrived.


    With such terrifying power, Wu Mo could easily destroy a.


    He then ordered all the leaders to evacuate therge buildings on Earth. Everything was ready as they waited for the ¡°star of destruction¡± to arrive. Everyone was worried because they were facing a huge!


    They wanted to make it tremble before them, but as the got closer and closer, everyone grew extremely nervous.


    Some believed that the day it arrived, they would need to move their civilization to others.


    However, no one expected this day toe so soon!


    ¡°Bad news, Mr. Wu! Our tform has been destroyed!¡±


    When the news came, Wu Mo was shocked.


    Pima was already under his control. How could anyone obstruct his perfect n?


    On top of that, if his n failed, the consequences would be devastating. Perhaps the entire human civilization would face destruction.


    -No, we mustplete Operation Miracle. We need to find out who destroyed the tform!¡± Wu Mo ordered with a serious expression.


    Everyone realized that things were gettingplicated.


    They got to work to identify the person who dared to disobey Mr. Wu¡¯s orders and ruin his n.


    After their investigation, they discovered that some Pirnaian spies had secretly destroyed the tform. They intended to wreck Wu Mo¡¯s n when it was most crucial.


    Now that Wu Mo was aware, he would not let them seed.


    ¡°Arrest these people. I want to see what gave them the audacity to disguise themselves as our people,¡± Wu Mo ordered.


    ¡°Yes, Mr. Wu. We¡¯ll arrest them immediately!¡±


    Soon after, they captured the spies and conducted a biochemical analysis to learn how they hid in this world.


    They realized that if they had been any slower, the spies would have appeared right when Wu Mo deployed his ¡°miraculous n.¡±


    If the situation worsened, it would be disastrous for the entire human race. Even Wu Mo broke out in a cold sweat when he thought about it.


    ¡ö¡öThese people are annoying. Since they want to y tricks, let¡¯s give them a taste of pain!¡±


    Wu Mo made up his mind. The first thing he would do was expose all of the spies¡¯ secrets.


    To his surprise, someone on Pima could simte any human characteristics distinctly.


    It did not matter whether it was a person¡¯s appearance, skin color, or speech. Even spirit power could be imitated perfectly.


    ¡°What a perfect clone. If humans reach this level, could we be people from others?¡±


    As Wu Mo contemted, he had an idea and immediately began to do some research.


    That aside, it was imperative to keep the navigational spaceship safe for now. The was about to descend!


    Just then, everyone suddenly noticed a red dot in the sky above.


    Although the was very far away from Earth, it was still enough to shock them.


    Their hearts were in their throats. It was as if the entire world was about to copse, so everyone was holding their breath!


    ¡°Hurry up, hurry up. We have to activate the ¡°Stroke of Genius¡± formation immediately, or else, it¡¯ll be toote.¡± With Wu Mo¡¯s order, the leaders of the variousrge factions promptly conveyed their ns.


    Before long, the battleships began to move. They formed a special formation and prepared to fight!


    An unknown spaceship used a powerful lever effect to extend its huge mechanical arms in an attempt to flip Earth.


    This was not unexpected.


    Wu Mo had made it clear that he would use a huge robot to move a! If the deviated, his prediction would be a reality.


    It was now time to test his n.


    Wu Mo contemted for a moment and immediately activated the ¡°Stroke of Genius.¡±


    As the robot extended its countless arms and reached for the, everyone was in a state of trepidation.


    It was time for Wu Mo to make his move!

 Chapter 783 - 783: Planet Collision

    Chapter 783: Collision


    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion


    ¡°Break!¡± Wu Mo shouted.


    Energy gathered in the mechanical arms and formed a huge thrust.


    This power could only work in specific locations.


    After all, this huge robot was a mere concept. There was no way of moving it.


    Yet, Wu Mo was going through with it!


    Everyone who heard him found it unreal.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, everything is in ce. Shall we move Earth here ording to your n?¡± One of his assistants walked in.


    ¡°Alright.¡± Wu Mo nodded.


    What he needed to do next was calcte the timing at the critical moment and sessfully pull Earth away from its original orbit. That way, they could avoid the destructive collision of thes.


    After that, he would quickly pull it back to its original trajectory!


    One could say that this whole thing was quite exciting. If it was a sess, it would once again prove Wu Mo¡¯s extraordinary abilities.


    At this moment, the humans on the three primitives were filled with anxiety.


    Everyone knew that danger was imminent on Earth. They were all worried!


    ¡°Oh, my God! Mr. Wu is facing such a huge. I¡¯m worried for him.


    ¡°I wonder if he¡¯s capable enough. If he fails, the entire human race will perish.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s really worrying. Fortunately, we left our home in advance.


    Otherwise, it would be dangerous for us!


    Everyone was d that they had made a wise choice and avoided this disaster in time.


    However, mankind was facing a serious problem!


    ¡°Mr. Wu, ording to our estimation, it¡¯llnd on our in three hours.


    One of his assistants had a grave expression and looked like he was about to


    cry.


    Three hours seemed like an eternity!


    If Wu Mo could not avoid this attack, these three hours would be the end of the entire human race!


    ¡°Don¡¯t panic. I¡¯ve made sure that the leverage takes effect. The base in front is prepared.¡±


    With Wu Mo¡¯s order, everyone nodded and began to move.


    Mechanical arms extended from the various bases and slowly reached out to the, finally touching its main body!


    ¡°Look! Mr. Wu is making a move. His shocking methods are finallying in handy!¡±


    ¡°Heavens. This is a miracle! Those mechanical arms look very sturdy.¡±


    ¡°Yes. This miracle is beyond everyone¡¯s expectations. Mr. Wu is the only one who can pull this off!¡±


    The crowd discussed animatedly as they praised him.


    How did hee up with such a grand idea?


    Then, the effects of leverage began to show.


    They began to pull the out of its original orbit.


    There were only two hours left, and the power of the Stroke of Genius was still active.


    Inch by inch, the was dragged out of its original orbit.


    ¡°It¡¯s working?!¡±


    Everyone was shocked.


    No one expected things to develop like this.


    At the headquarters, everyone was paying close attention to the scene and reporting to Wu Mo.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, our has begun to deviate from its original trajectory. At our current speed, I¡¯m afraid half of the will still hit us.¡±


    Wu Mo stood in the headquarters calmly and paid close attention to all the information around him.


    He contemted for a moment and nodded. ¡°Don¡¯t worry!¡±


    Wu Mo was full of confidence. In another two hours, he would be able to pull Earth out of its original orbit.


    More than an hourter, there was another surge of magical power, which sucked the out.


    At a nce, it had indeed deviated from its original trajectory!


    However, everyone still wanted to make sure.


    Would they avoid the impact of another?


    Once China made the announcement, countless people were shocked.


    ¡°What? They¡¯ve seeded!¡±


    The entireary Alliance was in disbelief. No one expected things to develop this way.


    The Earthlings would be able to avoid the collision!


    ¡°Heavens. This is unbelievable. Someone has created a mobile. This is unbelievable, isn¡¯t it?¡±


    There was a national leader who had been engaged in scientific research. He looked at the scene in a daze because it was beyond his understanding. Meanwhile, Wu Mo was fully focused on ensuring that arge area of the would leave its original orbit within an hour.


    Otherwise, Earth would be pulled back by its powerful gravity, and all their previous efforts would be in vain.


    It had been happening repeatedly in the past hour, but Wu Mo managed to interrupt it time and time again!


    This time, the Earth was finally about to leave its original orbit.


    However, the other had already arrived.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    As it approached, a terrifying shockwave exploded.


    However, this did not mean that it had crashed into Earth. Otherwise, everyone would have lost their lives!


    Even so, the terrifying sound was enough to show how huge the was. Everyone looked in terror as it shed past their eyes.


    Anxiety, fear, and joy were intertwined in their hearts¡­


    Everyone¡¯s expression was different, but they finally breathed a sigh of relief. They had escaped a major cmity.


    ¡°We¡¯re finally out of danger!¡±


    Some people even broke into tears.


    If this had deviated even a little, everyone would have been smashed into pieces.


    After their big escape, everyone on Earth took a deep breath.


    They were deeply moved. If it wasn¡¯t for Wu Mo, they would probably be long gone!


    ¡°Mr. Wu, you¡¯re truly the savior of the human race!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, Mr. Wu. You¡¯re the only one who can save our home.¡±


    ¡°Wow! This is unbelievable!¡±


    Everyone was amazed. Wu Mo¡¯s achievements were truly unparalleled. When you save an entire race, you will certainly gain the respect of others. Wu Mo and the people of China then turned their attention to the primitive that had yet to be fully developed.


    ¡°Wow. These physics and chemistry problems have been solved. That¡¯s amazing!¡±


    Wu Mo was surprised.


    The people there could answer them so quickly!


    These questions would have been too difficult to answer on Earth.


    Yet, primitive life forms could easily get it done.


    Their speed had gradually increased until it reached an extremely shocking level.


    How did they do it?


    Wu Mo was curious.


    He really wanted to talk to some people and ask them about their thoughts on answering the questions.


    Perhaps he could find some solutions based on their thinking and logic.


    Wu Mo took some time to return to an unknown.


    As he arrived, a live broadcast began.


    The audience on Earth could clearly see that Mr. Wu wasmunicating with the lower life forms.


    When their leader saw Wu Mo, he gave him a grand wee!

 Chapter 784 - 784: Capital Construction Competition

    Chapter 784: Capital Construction Competition


    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion


    ¡°Agurudeganrou¡­¡±


    Immediately after, all kinds of strange words flowed out of his mouth.


    Wu Mo listened carefully and realized what this person was talking about in their country¡¯s dialect.


    ¡°Oh, are youining about what happened?¡±


    Wu Mo was immediately interested.


    He knew how toin?


    However, the next moment, Wu Mo realized that hisint waspletely unreasonable.


    At first, he imed that their progress was slow and that they no longer enjoyed basic food, clothing, and shelter. Gradually, they became resentful and longed to experience thefortable life of regr human beings as soon as possible.


    Wu Mo smiled bitterly. These people¡¯s grievances were too great.


    Since the humans hade voluntarily, they were not in a hurry. Besides, there was no need to be anxious.


    However, they keptining. It was truly funny and regretful.


    Wu Mo patiently exined to them, ¡°The volunteers are progressing quickly.


    They have noints. We still have a lot of work to do, so just wait patiently.¡±


    After listening to Wu Mo¡¯s exnation, the n leader did not say anything more. He only arranged for people to monitor China¡¯s progress.


    When the audience saw this, theyughed!


    ¡°It¡¯s over. What a joke. Those barbarians actually think that our progress is slow. If we let them build it themselves, I¡¯m afraid they wouldn¡¯t even be able to build a house in a thousand years.¡±


    ¡°Sigh. I guess they¡¯ve been spoiled by Mr. Wu. Those people think they¡¯re so great that they have the audacity to rush us. It¡¯s ridiculous!¡±


    People were discussing and mostlyining in private.


    However, someone soon walked in.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, there¡¯s a problem. They took all our supplies and built their own houses. What¡¯s going on?¡±


    Wu Mo looked at the construction workers¡¯ report, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face.


    ¡°Oh, they built their own houses? Weren¡¯t they unable to do that in the past? Otherwise, why would they live in caves and thatched huts? Let¡¯s go and take a look!¡±


    In the end, Wu Mo decided to go to the other side to check on the construction workers.


    In the end, he was surprised to find that houses had sprung up one after another.


    Its sturdiness even surpassed that of human-built houses.


    ¡°Wow! The structure of this house is too strange.¡±


    There was a glint of surprise in Wu Mo¡¯s eyes.


    He immediately felt the firmness and exquisiteness of this building.


    In addition, in theory, these houses could withstand most earthquakes.


    In other words, the defensive power of these houses was quite impressive.


    If this technology was poprized, it would definitely cause a huge revolution in the construction industry.


    ¡°I see. With their high mathematical attainments, they found the best shelter in the shortest time possible. This is also the reason why their buildings are so sturdy.¡±


    ¡°Truly amazing!¡±


    Wu Mo couldn¡¯t help but give him a thumbs up. Even someone as confident as him couldn¡¯t hide his admiration.


    This was because what they were showing was exactly what Wu Mo had witnessed in the real world.


    Although they were few in number, these primitive lifeforms were all astounding.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, this building is expensive!¡± another Chinese employeeined.


    ¡°Hmm. What¡¯s so expensive about it?¡±


    Wu Mo was puzzled. Only the most basic things were used to build a house.


    How expensive could it be?


    Then, the employee startedining non-stop.


    Only now did Wu Mo realize that these primitive monsters needed several times more materials to build buildings than ordinary buildings.


    Moreover, during the construction process, they also used higher-grade construction materials.


    It made the entire building more stable, but at the same time, it consumed a lot of resources.


    This also caused the price to rise!


    One could imagine that if they were to get involved in the real estate industry, they might even have to lose their capital.


    ¡°Haha. How interesting. These guys can build ten vis for every vi they build.¡±


    The audience in the live broadcast roomughed non-stop.


    Then, Wu Mo patiently exined to the two of them that they had to pay attention to controlling the cost of building a house.


    Otherwise, relying solely on continuous consumption, humans would not be able to afford such a huge cost!


    However, it was obvious that these primitive beings did not care. They only cared about building houses for themselves and protecting their lives.


    At this point, Wu Mo could only smile bitterly.


    Since they were so persistent, then let them be.


    At the same time, Wu Mo had also transported the materials from Etermal Sun over.


    It allowed them to build their homes on thisnd.


    After all, on a as rich as Eternal Sun, the resources were simply inexhaustible.


    Under the powerful support of Wu Mo.


    This originally unknown group was finally ignited with a raging fighting spirit, and then an unstoppable construction boom was set off!


    It had to be said that although their movements were slow, their passion was as fast as fire.


    In fact, their speed seemed to have surpassed China¡¯s own infrastructure team!


    ¡°What is it? He¡¯s actually faster than us. This is uneptable!¡±


    The top infrastructure team in China was named the Heavenly Court Construction Team. The captain was instantly furious and revealed his dissatisfaction.


    As for why the team was given that name, each of them was like a god who had descended to the mortal world and possessed incredible power.


    In terms of construction, they disyed extraordinary speed!


    But now, the Heavenly Court Construction Team was actually nning topete with these primitive monsters.


    He wanted to see if they could build more buildings in the shortest time possible.


    Therefore, when Wu Mo heard this news, an idea immediately shed through his mind-let both sides start a fairpetition.


    ¡°In that case, why don¡¯t we have apetition and let everyone see who can build faster and better?¡±


    The leader of the Heavenly Court Construction Team nodded in agreement.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, this is exactly what I want. It¡¯s also a great opportunity for us to fight for glory.¡±


    At this moment, he firmly believed that he would never lose to these primitive beings.


    Finally, when everyone witnessed this scene, their hearts were in their throats!


    ¡°Whoa. The top construction team in China is actuallypeting with these people. I¡¯m really curious who is stronger.¡±


    No one would have thought that they would witness such an intense battle in their lifetime, and this battle was so passionate!


    Thus, the audience stopped what they were doing and watched the scene in front of them with interest.


    They stood on a spacious and towering tform. The surrounding environment, terrain, and resources were all exactly the same to ensure that thepetition was absolutely fair.


    On the Chinese side, twenty elite employees were arranged in advance. All of them were agile and efficient, and they had undergone strict selection and training.


    On the other side, there were more than twenty primitive beings led by a burly man.


    Both sides were rubbing their fists. They were waiting for Wu Mo to give the order so that they could jump into battle without hesitation..

    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion


    The rules of thispetition were simple. They had to stack the houses. To win, they would have toplete it as quickly as possible within the stipted time!


    The winner would then receive the mysterious prize that Wu Mo had promised


    in advance.


    The failures of the past might not matter, but China could not afford to fail this time. If they failed, they would be aplete disgrace.


    If they could not even defeat this primitive foreign race, how could they stand tall?


    The Chinese were confident in their own strength because they were part of the fastest infrastructure construction team in the world.


    In fact, there was once such apetition, and the winner was known as the fastest builder in history.


    How could they ept being defeated by a group of primitive creatures after being blessed with victory and glory?


    The long-awaited buildingpetition finally began!


    Even Wu Mo was drawn to the scene.


    He had never seen such arge group of people build a house so quickly!


    Thispetition not only tested individual skills but a team¡¯s ability to work together.


    If they were not careful, they might fail.


    After all, these buildings would go through countless strict inspections. They would not count if they were simply built. This was absolutely not allowed!


    As a result, both parties were busy with the construction.


    The scene changed again, and everyone was filled with solemnity.


    Some of the aliens had adorable appearances. Therefore, they won some people over with their focused and earnest looks.


    On the other hand, China did not say a word and disyed their professionalism.


    No one expected things to develop to this stage.


    Soon, buildings appeared before their eyes like phantoms.


    ¡°What? This is too fast, simply too fast!¡± someone blurted out.


    One had to admit that current construction facilities evolved with each passing day. It was a world of differencepared to a few years ago.


    In the past, humans had to rely on technology and skills to build houses, but these depended on an energy source.


    Using special equipment to strengthen the foundation of a house was a good example.


    To ensure that the surface was smooth and wless, they only needed to take measurements with special equipement. If there was a problem, they could also correct it.


    As such, they did not have oveplicate things. They just had to focus on building the building.


    In that case, what was there to be afraid of?


    What they urgently needed now was to make these guys fly faster.


    That way, their dominance would be even greater stronger.


    Wu Mo clearly felt that the aliens were falling behind in terms of speed.


    The extraterrestrials had just been established, and they were no match for humans in terms of construction.


    Therefore, it was only natural for them to be defeated!


    Most people in front of their screens were certain that the alien civilization would lose. What chance did they have?


    On top of that, they had made a mistake and built a towering city wall. ¡°Hahaha. What a joke. The city walls are already so high; how are we supposed to climb them?!¡± someoneined.


    It caused everyone to burst intoughter.


    That¡¯s right. Those extraterrestrials only knew how to build walls, but they did not know anything about internal structure. How could they live like this?


    However, Wu Mo had a bad feeling. It was as if something was about to happen, but he could not tell what exactly.


    Everyone was upied with their own work. They ignored the gazes of others and focused on the battle before them.


    Their faces were filled with zeal, and their hands were busy as they built the houses. It was hard to ignore their intense presence.


    The human race seemed to be moving incredibly fast, while the non-humankind were moving as slow as a tortoise.


    ¡°Hmm. We¡¯re too fast!¡±


    Wu Mo frowned. He couldn¡¯t help but begin to womder about the opponent¡¯s strength.


    Suddenly, Wu Mo felt a sense of unease, and his expression turned unpleasant. He thought that if the alien civilization was really that weak, they would have considered it long ago. Why would they join thepetition?


    There had been a battle before, and logically speaking, these two teams should be evenly matched.


    However, the situation before him waspletely different. It was like heaven and earth.


    Wu Mo found it unbelievable, and he did not know how to exin it.


    He looked at the tall buildings on the city wall and sensed that something was wrong.


    Meanwhile, the human side had already built aplete pavilion. There was a total of nine floors, and another ten-story was about to bepleted.


    Their work was worthy of respect, but what about that of the extraterrestrial life forms?


    Even though they had already been built more than twenty floors, how could anyone enter the building based on its appearance on the outside?


    Wu Mo realized that even if the outer wall was more than a hundred stories high, it would be useless.


    It was a great waste of resources to have so many materials but not use them practically in the end.


    However, thepetition was still ongoing, and Wu Mo did not want to interrupt it.


    Otherwise, he would have to order the extraterrestrials to stop the match immediately to prevent them from causing more trouble.


    At this moment, the entire onlinemunity was in an uproar.


    Everyoneughed at the primitive aliens. Couldn¡¯t they even build a decent ce of residence?


    ¡°Mr. Wu, tell them to stop!¡± someone shouted.


    In the end, the buildings on both sides werepletely unrecognizable, and thepetition was nearing its end.


    Wu Mo checked carefully again to see which building was more exquisite and efficient.


    However, at this moment, the aliens made a move that left everyone dumbfounded.


    Many could not help but gasp because they did not understand what just happened.


    Even Wu Mo was curious. He walked over to take a look, and he was speechless for a long time.


    He saw something strange. Originally, only a portion of the wall had been built, but it had reached dozens of levels.


    There was not much time left for them, but they used a very strange structure to slowly connect the city walls together.


    ¡°That¡¯s not right. Don¡¯t tell me they think that connecting them together will make a house? That¡¯s preposterous!¡±


    Right then, everyone shook their heads and thought that the aliens were really naive.


    They did not approve of houses that could not be lived in.


    However, everyone was holding their breath.


    It was almost thest minute, and they were all waiting for the final oue. China had built neen floors, and they were not far from the twentieth floor. However, the extraterrestrials were a little strange. They actually built a building out of walls that were more than thirty stories tall.


    They had already prepared a sturdy metal frame and fixed the metal frameyer byyer.


    Yes, this was a mold that had been prepared beforehand. All the parts had been ced into the mold!


    It seemed easy, but in reality, it was extremely difficult.


    Most importantly, Wu Mo thought that they would not be able to make it in time. Unexpectedly, these people would have some spare time.


    Soon, they started moving faster and faster.


    ¡°F*ck. How can they be so fast?¡±


    When everyone saw this, they were shocked..

    All the items were embeddedyer byyer. It looked unbelievable!


    ¡°How is this possible? How are they so fast? Wouldn¡¯t they have won from the beginning if they had worked with their regr speed?¡± someone finally said after they could not take it anymore.


    So, they could have won the championship with such speed, but gave up their strength to do something rtively low-level?


    It was unbelievable. No one knew what this meant.


    At this moment, Wu Mo fell silent as well.


    He silently wondered what these people were thinking.


    It was obvious that they were experimenting. Their goal was to create more and better houses.


    Wu Mo sighed. ¡°I¡¯ve learned a lot. In this world, everyone should always be humble and eager to learn!¡¯¡¯


    Everyone nodded.


    As time passed, the humans gradually approached the final stage andpleted the twenty-story building.


    On others, efficiency in building city walls was also increasing!


    At this point, the battle between the alien civilization and the human side was pretty much evenly matched.


    Surprisingly, they did not stop there. Instead, they slowly produced thest ten stories!


    However, they soon realized a problem. The structure of the aliens¡¯ house was very strange.


    It looked like every story was the same. They all seemed to be cut through the middle.


    In other words, if any story was destroyed, it would cause damage to the other parts of the structure.


    However, in this era, natural disasters had long been eliminated. There was nothing to worry about at all.


    In other words, unless it was an unforeseen event like the sea monster, it would be impossible for anyone to destroy a house in the human world.


    Wu Mo did not think there was anything wrong with the building. The key was to move very quickly!


    With such speed, they could make up for any weakness.


    Wu Mo slowly counted down the time. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s see whose building is better? Stop building!¡±


    As Wu Mo¡¯s voice fell, both sides stopped.


    Everyone was waiting for Wu Mo toment on their work.


    Wu Mo first went up to the humans to check their twenty-story building.


    If the quality of the building did not meet the requirements, it would be useless no matter how high it was.


    However, it was obvious that the structure had not only been built quickly, but it was also of good quality.


    The Chinese construction team was no stranger to this.


    They knew that if there were any problems with the construction, the whole thing would be scrapped.


    Since they were already aware, why would they build a dpidated building?


    It had to be a house that was built to pass!


    With that, Wu Mo deployed the anti-earthquake and anti-fire test. Ultimately, he found that the building could passed the tests.


    He nodded in satisfaction and announced the results.


    For a moment, the entire livestream tform was in an uproar!


    ¡°Haha. Let¡¯s wait and see. Which country canpete with China in terms of infrastructure?¡±


    ¡®T heard that they only got fourth ce in the National Construction Competition because of their poprity!¡±


    ¡°Huh?! Ranked fourth? Fourth ce is already terrifying. I¡¯m a little jealous of China. What would third ce be like?¡±


    At this moment, evenizens from all over the world were envious and jealous.


    China¡¯s infrastructure development was undoubtedly one of the fastest in the world.


    However, when they witnessed how terrifying the team was, they had apletely different feeling.


    They thought if China could do that, then the aliens would be the only ones capable of defeating them.


    Immediately after, Wu Mo¡¯s gaze fell on the alien man.


    He would be lying if he said that he was not surprised at all. A thirty-story building was right before him. It was intimidating!


    Someone had finally built a thirty-story building after so many years. If it was any higher, would it not be heaven-defying?


    Then, Wu Mo examined the thirty-story building to see if it was up to standard.


    He used a special instrument and slowly carried out the tests with someone from his team.


    After some careful observation, the two of them were stunned.


    only then did they realize that the building¡¯s structure was extremely sturdy.


    It was even sturdier than an ordinary building.


    ¡°This can¡¯t be. It can¡¯t be as strong as our building, right? This must be a fake!¡±


    ¡°Yeah. You made a mistake, didn¡¯t you, Mr. Wu? Their house would copse with a crash!¡±


    ¡°Haha. That¡¯s a lie. I don¡¯t believe that they can build something of such good


    quality in a short time. I¡¯ll apply another test.¡±


    Obviously, the people on the Chinese base were worked up.


    They never thought that their creation would be inferior to that of the alien race before them.


    If these extraterrestrial creatures met the standard, then they could onlypete in terms of numbers!


    Wu Mo shook his head and sighed. ¡°No. All the scores on their side are real.¡±


    Everyone was stunned. No one expected this to happen.


    Even though Wu Mo did not want to admit it, he could not go against his conscience.


    After all, he was telling the truth. There was nothing wrong with the aliens¡¯ vi.


    In the end, the people from the Chinese construction team had looks of desperation because they actually lost.


    It was hard for them to ept the results.


    Wu Mo smiled.VIt doesn¡¯t matter. Although you¡¯ve lost, this is just a trial It¡¯s


    not a big deal.¡±


    They could only do as Wu Mo said. Meanwhile, the extraterrestrial creatures just smiled.


    They were ecstatic. They never thought that their dreams woulde true.


    At this moment, someone walked up to their leader.


    ¡°Wow! Chief, look! Our n has seeded! Now that we have this building, we can build arge number of houses! Hehe!¡±


    When Wu Mo heard this, he instantly perked up.


    This house had been built very quickly, and its structure was incredibly strong.


    If they poprized this construction method, it would be of great help to mankind¡¯s development.


    Thinking of this, Wu Mo could not sit still.


    With such a good opportunity in front of him, how could he give it up?


    Therefore, he contemted for a while and promptly issued an order.


    ¡°From now on, we will no longer stay here. Follow me. We will build houses on others!¡±


    Huh?! Build houses?


    ¡°Mr. Wu, are you talking about real estate?¡± an extraterrestrial youth asked a Simple question, and the crowd burst intoughter as a result!


    ¡°Real estate? He¡¯s really familiar with the term we use!¡±

 Chapter 787 - 787: Are They Crazy?

    Chapter 787: Are They Crazy?


    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion


    Everyone was amused because he looked so innocent and likable.


    Wu Mo smiled and patted him on the head.


    ¡°Okay. In the future, you¡¯ll follow me in the real estate business. Don¡¯t stay here anymore. There will be even bigger surprises out there!¡±


    With that, all the extraterrestrials began to pack up and leave with Wu Mo. However, they did not know what to prepare even though they were packing. They only had a few fur coats and a few valuable items such as wild animal tusks.


    However, the n leader refused to leave no matter what. He said that this was his home and that he would rather die than leave.


    Wu Mo sighed. He had no choice but to respect the primitive monster¡¯s decision.


    The primitive aliens were still considered cosmic life forms who possessed intelligence.


    Following that, Wu Mo led arge group of aliens aboard a spaceship, and they began their journey to Earth.


    At this moment, the viewers on the livestream tform were excited. No one expected Wu Mo to bring so many people over. It seemed that he wanted them to construct houses.


    It was a bold idea, but thinking about what Wu Mo had done before, they found it normal. After all, it was not his first time pulling something crazy.


    He really hoped that everyone in the world would learn about this benefit, so he brought them here.


    When Wu Mo arrived on his home, he looked at a barrennd and said,


    ¡°I just need to transform this ce into a newmunity center in a few days.¡± There was also a sketch of an unfinished building in Wu Mo¡¯s residential area. This meant that the blueprints had been prepared long ago, but the structure had not been built.


    It was easy to build a newmunity center, but due to the threat of sea monsters, Wu Mo had dyed his construction n.


    However, things were different now. Since everything was over, it was a good idea for the extraterrestrial creatures to build their own sturdy structures.


    The leader of the group named himself Gnar.


    Gnar was highly intelligent, and he was also the smartest person Wu Mo had ever met.


    He patted his chest and immediately agreed to Wu Mo¡¯s request.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, you don¡¯t have to worry. In less than ten days, we will turn this ce into a prosperousnd.¡±


    Would ten days be enough?


    Wu Mo was a little stunned. ording to his estimation, a domestic construction team would take at least twenty days to a month to build a center like that!


    However, they only needed half that amount of time.


    ¡°Very good. I¡¯ll give you my full support in theing ten days. Good luck, everyone!¡±


    ¡°Yes, Mr. Wu. Don¡¯t worry. We won¡¯t let you down.¡±


    AU of a sudden, Gnar revealed a trace of embarrassment on his face.


    ¡°Is there a problem?¡± Wu Mo asked immediately. ¡°Just tell me. I¡¯ll think of a way to solve it.¡±


    ¡°Mr. Wu, based on you requirements, the entiremunity needs some green space, but we don¡¯t have the skills to pull that off,¡± Gnar said seriously.


    ¡°Hehe. It¡¯s okay! We have people to build that. You just need to make sure that the building is well-constructed.¡±


    Wu Mo did not expect Gnar to be so worried. He smiled and did not say anything else.


    Soon, he saw a group of aliens building the foundation.


    Wu Mo had purposely broadcasted the scene so that everyone could see what they were doing and learn their unbelievable construction techniques.


    At this moment, a huge foundation was slowly constructed. It did not seem very different, but one could tell that this foundation was firm and stable.


    It was amazing. One needed to know whether such a foundation was strong enough to support hundreds of floors¡­


    Besides, they had never built a skyscraper before. Where did they get the confidence to build such a solid foundation?


    It was a mystery that no one could unravel.


    Eventually, the alienspleted the basics before everyone¡¯s watchful eye. They slowly built an ordinary wall, but it looked like they were doing the same thing.


    They were moving too quickly!


    ¡°Huh?! Are they building the wall? Are they crazy? Why do they keep using the same method? I can¡¯t take this!¡±


    ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m appalled too. They don¡¯t seem to have any other ideas. This is too funny!¡±


    ¡°Alright, alright. Mr. Wu already decided on this matter. If we don¡¯t support them, it will be a p to Mr. Wu¡¯s face.¡±


    Everyone fell silent when they saw thisment.


    Theyposed themselves and began to carefully observe the aliens¡¯ entire construction process.


    As time passed, they dug out one circr wall after another.


    Each wall was more than seventy-stories tall, and it terrified the people! ¡°My God, if there¡¯s a gust of strong wind, won¡¯t such a high wall copse? ¡°Stop talking, you jinx. That¡¯s such a reckless thing to say.¡± At this point, some people began to worry about what would happen in the future.


    In their opinion, if the high wall copsed, many people would be hurt. However, the aliens were not fools. They would not build such a high wall without a valid reason.


    In fact, they fixed it to a building in a unique way to ensure that the building would not suddenly copse.


    With thepletion of the wall, they did what they were best at.


    They ced a high tform that had been set up in advanceyer byyer! ¡°Oh, my God! Look! It¡¯s so magical. How are these aliens so intelligent? At this moment, many people gasped.


    Most of the livestream viewers had mastered various professional skills. Plenty of them were knowledgeable in construction.


    Therefore, they could tell at a nce whether the extraterrestrial creatures were professionals or not.


    Everyone thought that they were highly efficient when it came to construction. If all buildings were built this way, it would bring huge changes to the construction industry.


    Many would find the results unbelieavable!


    However, it was obvious that Wu Mo wanted to make it look easy so that there would not be naysayers.


    Some timeter, housing units were moved to the ground, and the aliens slowed down.


    They werecking raw materials!


    ¡°Ah! We have a ridiculous amount of resources. Head to Eternal Sun and take all the resources you can. I¡¯d like to see what they actually want!


    Wu Mo spoke boldly, and everyoneughed along..

 Chapter 788 - 788: The Construction Experts Have Been Surpassed

    Chapter 788: The Construction Experts Have Been Surpassed


    Trantor: EndtessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion


    Eternal Sun was a huge energy center. If anyone wasted too many resources on their home, they could move their home to Eternal Sun.


    One should know that there used to be an extremely powerful race on Eternal Sun. However, when a powerful faction attacked them, all their wealth was buried underground.


    Everything underground, such as cement, concrete, and gravel, was ready to be dug.


    Therefore, a huge transport ship immediately began to transfer the supplies to them.


    When they saw so many resources, the aliens¡¯ eyes shed with excitement, and they flew increasingly fast!


    Oh, my God! Mr. Wu, look at how well they¡¯ve built it. This is my first time seeing them build so well!¡±


    ¡°Yeah. It¡¯s better than China¡¯s infrastructure. They¡¯re flying as fast as they can in space!¡±


    ¡°Oh, my goodness! This is amazing. They¡¯ve surpassed our Chinese construction team!¡±


    No one had expected this.


    Everyone who witnessed the scene gasped!


    Obviously, the construction of infrastructure in China had happened a long time ago.


    However, everyone finally thought that extraterrestrial infrastructure was the strongest. From now on, no one would joke about it.


    The people from the Heavenly Court Construction Team, as well as some of the other top teams, all appeared unhappy. It was as if they had swallowed something bad and could not say a word.


    Although they were displeased, what could they do?


    The extraterrestrials were truly too fast, so it was impossible for them raise any objections.


    Wu Mo finally proved that he had made a wise choice in just a few days. They had finallypleted a rough n, and they were only missing a few details!


    Things were moving at a terrifying speed! Who else couldpare to them?


    Even Wu Mo sighed contentedly in his heart.


    Nevertheless, from an official standpoint, he could not be biased. Finally, themunity center waspleted, and everyone came to see what their homes looked like.


    ¡°F*ck. This is awesome. The buildings in the entire neighborhood are very sturdy and clean. I don¡¯t see any issues!¡± a few who were inspecting the quality of the houses said excitedly.


    They checked the ce repeatedly and found that the area was indeed suitable for modern construction.


    Wu Mo realized this too. At this point, there was nothing more to say. He could only give these alien creatures a big gift!


    ¡°Alright. From now on, everyone here is an architect. When the timees, you will work on our base.¡±


    Why were they going to China¡¯s base?


    Everyone was stunned because it was a huge reward!


    One should know that the base in China was the best ce for allmunities within a radius of thirty light-years to gather.


    It was the headquarters of humanity, and the extraterrestrials could work there. This made everyone envious!


    It was everyone¡¯s dream job. Even top students from top universities had failed to enter the base.


    Yet, the aliens seeded?


    For a moment, the entire ce was silent.


    In the end, the aliens were overjoyed because they were from another, and they had no idea what was going on.


    In short, as long as Wu Mo said something, they would happily oblige since they had received a generous reward from this good person!


    ¡°I want you to help me build a house simr to yours on the other,¡± Wu Mo suddenly said. ¡°Are you confident in your abilities? Do you have any conditions?¡±


    At this moment, Gnar frowned. He had to consider it carefully. Did hispanions have the same strength?


    Then, he began to ask others for their opinion. He heard them chattering for a while beforeing to a conclusion.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, we¡¯re happy to help you explore others, but can we prioritize our?¡± Gnar said with a smile.


    Wu Moughed out loud. This was what he wanted!


    ¡°Of course. You can develop your own first. If your is the same as ours, you will receive additional rewards!¡±


    What? There was a reward?


    Therefore, when they heard Wu Mo¡¯s words, everyone was incredibly excited. With that, Gnar and the others boarded the shuttle that Wu Mo had arranged for them. Then, they headed to their home to begin construction.


    Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, two months had passed.


    Wu Mo was studying the improved version of the Life No. 3 potion when he identally flipped to a certain page.


    To his surprise, this was not a primitive at all.


    This was a world of advanced technology!


    That¡¯s right. There were skyscrapers everywhere, and all kinds of resources were avable on this.


    At first nce, although this ce was full of greenery, it was not much different from a modern city in China!


    ¡°Oh, my! How did they do it? How did theyplete this in such a short period of time?¡±


    Right then, Wu Mo felt a sense of disbelief. Was this the true speed of construction?


    He had to believe it at this point!


    The viewers of the live broadcast were dumbfounded. Theirments were filled with amazement and shock.


    Everyone was scared silly when they realized that the progress of China¡¯s infrastructure was insignificant inparison!


    Not to mention, the quality of these buildings was definitely up to standard. These were houses built for their loved ones. How could they not meet the standards?


    ¡°Not bad! Very good. At this rate, I think we can mine severals at the same time!¡±


    However, Wu Mo suddenly had an idea. He could improve the houses to make them sturdier, more luxurious, and morefortable.


    However, it was obvious that he was thinking too much. The houses they built were not only sturdy, but also luxurious andfortable!


    ¡°Oh? How did you build a house like this?¡±


    At this point, Wu Mo no longer had any doubts. He believed that these buildings were the same as the previous one.


    In other words, they had used an efficient method to build a house that was barely habitable. With that said, in terms offort, it was far from enough! Nevertheless, Wu Mo waspletely speechless after he finished his inspection.


    That¡¯S right. Wu Mo was currently on that primitive. He was standing in front of the tall buildings and carefully inspecting every single one of them.


    He noticed that apart from emergency exits, there were various logistics and office buildings.


    All the buildings were exactly the same, and it was apparent that they had been carefully designed!

 Chapter 789 - 789: Harsh Purchasing Conditions

    Chapter 789: Harsh Purchasing Conditions


    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion


    ¡®It¡¯s so magical. It¡¯s like they¡¯ve replicated our metropolis in this world, but it only took them two months to build. This is unbelievable. This is pretty much the greatest miracle in this world,¡¯ Wu Mo thought to himself.


    He could not find the words to describe such primitive creatures.


    In his mind, how could uncivilized beings have such intelligence?


    There was obviously no such thing. In other words, their future was limitless!


    Wu Mo¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He immediately looked for Gnar and invited him to join his team.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, you mentioned that you wanted to take a sample of my DNA to check its structure? Alright. When do we begin?¡±


    It did not take long for Wu Mo to obtain Gnar¡¯s DNA sample and analyze it.


    Surprisingly, the results of his analysis showed that Gnar¡¯s genes were different from any other race¡¯s.


    In other words, the gic sequence of his race waspletely different. What was going on?


    How could they have such genes?


    After some research, Wu Mo realized that with this special gic structure, the brain¡¯s mental power could be stronger. This would inadvertently affect their quality of life.


    They did not have keen observation skills, but their minds were filled with pure mathematical forms!


    Although they were very talented in science, they were not strong enough to even protect themselves.


    This race was a little strange!


    He had never seen anything like it before.


    Now that Wu Mo had a better understanding of this race, he could not help but desire to take advantage of them.


    He also learned something from this whole experience. In this world, every race had their own unique abilities.


    If humans were allowed to learn all of them and use them freely, would they not reap the benefits?


    With that in mind, Wu Mo seemingly found a general direction of development.


    When the time came, Earth would be the core of the entire world. At that time, they would control all the extraterrestrial creatures on Earth.


    However, Wu Mo was not interested in ves. He just wanted everyone to live a better life, so why couldn¡¯t hee up with a n?


    Right now, what he wanted to do was very simple. He wanted to build aplete interster fleet.


    At present, Wu Mo was already in charge of three legions, and he was invincible!


    Meanwhile, Life No. 3 appeared on the official website¡¯s sales page.


    However, the official website had blocked many people¡¯s ounts, so they could no longer buy anything.


    Wu Mo also had a way to find out if anyone tried to purchase the item with someone else¡¯s help.


    The consequence for doing so was having all their potions and medication confiscated. In more extreme circumstances, Wu Mo would deal with them directly!


    This was not something that anyone could ept.


    When Life No. 3 appeared, everyone went crazy.


    All the previous potions had sold out in five minutes, and it was the same this time.


    In Wu Mo¡¯s opinion, Life No. 3 should be his third evolution!


    When the news came out, the entire world went into an uproar!


    ¡®Huh? An upgraded version? Mr. Wu is terrifying!¡¯ Everyone thought.


    ¡°Oh, my God! Mr. Wu¡¯s research is endless. Logically speaking, even with his current skills, it should¡¯ve been impossible for him to develop such a thing!¡± ¡°With our current technology, we can only extend our lifespan by a hundred years at most. Mr. Wu is actually researching a new life cycle. I¡¯m not sure what he¡¯s trying to do.¡±


    At this moment, everyone could not help but have simr thoughts.


    With the present technology, it was more than enough for them to live for a hundred years.


    Everyone was curious about how powerful the upgrade was this time.


    What were the potion¡¯s attributes?


    There was no response on the official website, but everyone knew that developing such a drug was an extremely difficult task.


    Even though there was a new update, the results would not be immediate, so they had to wait patiently.


    Nevertheless, everyone knew that Mr. Wu would never let them down. He would promote this medicine to all of them so that they could benefit from it. For the next day, Wu Mo stayed in theboratory.


    Then, he checked his research progress.


    Many of the details of his n were nearingpletion. All that was left was for him to integrate everything and make the necessary deductions.


    This upgrade involved many things, so it was not so easy to sell it.


    For instance, what would happen to the original Life No. 3 after the new Life No. 3 appeared?


    Would they stop selling it?


    That would obviously be unrealistic. But once a new version of an equipment was released, no one would willingly buy the original unless it was sold at a discount.


    However, Wu Mo refused to lower the price because he had invested arge amount of money into it. The original price was not going to plummet.


    It was an incredibly difficult problem to solve, so everyone had to consider the pros and cons.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, why don¡¯t we change our approach? Consumers will only have a chance to buy the next update if they¡¯ve collected the previous potions. What do you think?¡±


    Wu Mo¡¯s eyes lit up when one of his assistants suggested this.


    ¡°Yes, that¡¯s a good idea. Why didn¡¯t I think of it before? Hehehe¡­¡±


    Wu Mo was very happy. His assistant¡¯s suggestion was indeed reasonable.


    In the end, he posted the news on China¡¯s official sales website.


    ¡°To purchase the upgraded version of Life No. 3, you need to have a purchase record of the previous nine potions!¡±


    The moment he made the announcement, everyone was shocked.


    ¡°Oh, my God! What¡¯s going on? We¡¯ve never bought the other ones before, and now we can¡¯t buy this one?¡±


    ¡°Yeah. It¡¯s extremely difficult and expensive to gather all nine of the medicinal potions. How many people can actually do that?¡±


    ¡°Sigh. What a disappointment. I didn¡¯t expect Mr. Wu to be so greedy. Forget it. I don¡¯t want it anymore!¡±


    ¡°In my opinion, this updated version might not be that good!¡±


    Only a small portion of people could afford it, and many were envious of them.


    However, these jealous individuals had fallen into a trap. Since they said something inappropriate, Wu Mo banned them from purchasing the potion. ¡°Sigh. What a waste. We have the transaction records for the potions from before. How could we be cklisted?¡±


    No one could hide from Wu Mo¡¯s anti-hacking mechanism. It was impossible.


    Once China cklisted them, they would never be able to source research and development from China..

 Chapter 790 - 790: Gnar’s Reward

    Chapter 790 - 790: Gnar¡¯s Reward


    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion


    Wu Mo did not make those announcements casually. It was their fault for making such a big mistake.


    Anyway, today was the most exciting day!


    Everyone could finally see the amazing upgraded potion.


    Many were envious as they looked at the new potion and its attributes.


    Meanwhile, the cklisted rich individuals pped themselves hard in the face!<div>


    They had been foolish, and they deserved a big p for their past actions. Individuals who specialized in delivering these potions were simrly affected. All the knowledge they had learned in rtion to their profession had gone to waste; all the clients they worked for had their purchasing rights revoked.


    It was too bad that they could no longer demonstrate how quick their hands could be.


    In the end, only thirty bottles of the upgraded version were sold.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, look. With such low sales, aren¡¯t we going to lose money?¡±


    One of Wu Mo¡¯s assistants saw the sales record and revealed a worried expression.


    However, Wu Mo just waved his hand and showed no concern.


    Firstly, the money he earned dide solely from Life No. 3 upgraded version. Secondly, the chances of anyone having every one of the first nine potions were too low. Wu Mo had already considered this when implemented the rule. Therefore, he was mentally prepared.


    Everyone understood this, but they were still a little worried. If no one was willing to buy the potion, it would very likely be discontinued.


    ¡°No way. If you don¡¯t believe me, you can look at the description on the back,¡± someone said.


    Everyone was very puzzled, but they could not help but go over.


    Whoa. What was going on?


    Everyone was shocked.


    Yes, there was indeed a line of words on the back of the potion.


    The uppgraded version could be stored indefinitely, and it could preserve medicines forever without spoling them or leaving any side effects!


    As soon as he read out the description, excitement surged into their hearts. ¡°God, this is amazing!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. Is this the enhanced version of the already terrifying original version?¡±


    Asboratory assistants, although they had participated in the preparation of the potions, they had never been so close to one of them.


    At this moment, their hearts pounded violently.


    With this news, they did not have to worry about the sales of the potion.


    They realized that it would be too easy to sell this potion.


    Mr. Wu could easily revoke someone¡¯s right to purchase the potion!


    However, he was not doing that for now. This was not the right time.


    If it had been any other time, Wu Mo might have continued to ban potential buyers. But considering the new version of the potion and its value, there was no need for it anymore.


    On the second day, their sales got even better.


    In just one day, they had sold over a hundred upgraded versions of Life No. 3! ¡®Our sales are getting better and better. Mr. Wu¡¯s strategy is definitely effective. Many people are willing to spend their money now,¡¯ an assistant thought. However, Wu Mo did not look very happy. It was as if this oue was a matter of course to him.


    It was something that he had researched with great difficulty. How could he expect others not to buy it?


    If they refused to get it, they would just live with a lifetime of regret. Wu Mo would not suffer any losses.


    He could continue his research at any time.


    As for the previous nine potions, he could also conduct further research on them and develop more advanced versions.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, we now have more than five hundred bottles of potions in our shop!¡± One of his assistant walked in and told him the news.


    Wu Mo nodded. At the same time, he was observing the situation of the foreign bases on the.


    The extraterrestrials had received a new order to head to Eternal Sun.


    Wu Mo attached great importance to Eternal Sun because its geographical location was very important.


    Furthermore, this was very precious because every corner was pretty much brimming with life.


    He had to make this more beautiful and turn it into a new base.


    Therefore, when he sent them to the construction base, Wu Mo was not worried about their work.


    They were highly efficient, and they possessed great construction skills.


    After some tests, he found no problems with the strength andfort of the houses they built!


    With Wu Mo¡¯s help, they could build the houses at a fast pace without sacrificingfort.


    Soon, the buildings on Eternal Sun were allpleted.


    Wu Mo looked at the huge buildings in front of him in satisfaction.


    ¡°This is great. From the looks of it, they should be able to amodate billions of people at the very least!¡±


    Wu Mo nodded with a gratified expression.


    He gathered everyone to give them a generous reward.


    ¡°Tell me, what kind of remuneration do you want?¡±


    Wu Mo did not stand on ceremony and went straight to the point.


    He had made up his mind. If it was not too much, he would agree immediately!


    ¡°Mr. Wu, we all want a car just like yours. We all want one.¡±


    ¡°Sure, I can give you a car. It¡¯s such a simple request. Why do you seem so shy about it?¡±


    Wu Mo smiled as he thought about how embarrassed these primitive beings were.


    Immediately after, a few more of them spoke up.


    Some of the requests were very simple such as wanting to eat the most unique dishes in China.


    Others wanted to take a photo with Mr. Wu and get his autograph.


    In short, Wu Mo felt a little guilty because the requests from these extraterrestrial creatures were so easy to fulfill.


    At this moment, Gnar stepped forward and said, ¡°Mr. Wu, I¡¯d like to attend school to learn spaceship and mech navigation!¡± Gnar said after a moment of silence.


    ¡°What a clever child. Hehe!¡±


    Wu Mo smiled. This kid really had some skills and knew how to motivate himself.


    Navigation College and the Mech Training Center were the two top universities in China.


    One was for young mech operators, while the other trained professional navigators.


    Whether it was a mech or a spaceship, both were most suitable for close-rangebat and long-range attacks!


    Once Gnar learned to operate both of them, he would be a top expert in China, or even the entire world.


    In the end, Gnar was sent to the two academies as everyone else looked on with envy.


    Wu Mo would monitor Life No. 3¡¯s sales while he examined Gnar¡¯s homework.


    He knew that Gnar had talent and practical experience in mathematics and physics. But as outstanding as he was, would he pass in both universities? Today, Gnar first had a lesson on flying.


    As one of the lowest-ranking students, he naturally had never driven such a huge vessel.


    While he looked around, he found it very fresh and interesting..

 Chapter 791 - 791: Terrifying Talent

    Chapter 791 - 791: Terrifying Talent


    Trantor: End less Fantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion


    ¡°Really?¡±


    Smiling, Gnar looked at the data on the spaceship¡¯s screen.


    Then, he controlled the simtion map and began to fly around the area.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to learn it so quickly!¡±


    His professor was shocked.<div>


    The professors in the college had all participated in the interster war under Wu Mo¡¯smand. As such, they had gone against the alien races on others.


    There were terrifying armies on Pirna that were sworn enemies with them!


    Now, they were professors in a college, and they were surprised by Gnar¡¯s talent.


    Generally speaking, learning how to control a spaceship was a very time-consuming thing. It would usually take someone at least a month to operate a vessel.


    Mastery would require one to years of training!


    However, it had only been three days, and Gnar could already fly freely in an open space without encountering any danger.


    How were they supposed to make sense of this?


    ¡°The student Mr. Wu invited is indeed skilled. He was born to fly!¡±


    At this moment, a thought shed through his professor¡¯s mind.


    Not long after, Wu Mo received a call.


    ¡°Are you saying that he has mastered the spaceship¡¯s technology and doesn¡¯t need supervision?¡±


    Wu Mo did not know whether tough or cry. Just how skilled was this guy?


    With Gnar¡¯s current speed of improvement, it probably would not take long for him to be a master!


    After that, Wu Mo agreed to bring Gnar to the Meeh Training Center to study.


    When Gnar saw it, his eyes lit up!


    ¡°Mr. Wu, this mech is really interesting. I wonder if you made it?¡±


    Wu Mo shook his head. ¡°Not really. But many of the ideas were derived from the first mech.¡±


    Wu Mo recalled the first mech known as ¡°me.¡±


    me was no longer useful in actualbat, so it was ced in a museum as an exhibit.


    This machine was reputed to be the most powerful machine in history when it came to its pyrotechnics.


    These two mechs represented many of Wu Mo¡¯s memories, and they were the most valuable things he had in this world.


    When everyone from the Mech Training Center saw Wu Mo, they cheered and went up to him.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, why didn¡¯t you tell us that you wereing?¡±


    The dean was taken aback.


    Given Wu Mo¡¯s current status, it was an honor to have him visit.


    No one expected him to appear together with an alien, though.


    Furthermore, he did not inform anyone from center about his visit beforehand. Wu Mo had truly taken them by surprise this time!


    ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± Wu Mo smiled. ¡°I just brought this guy here so that he can learn about mech operations.¡±


    ¡°Mr. Wu, you¡¯re here to teach us students, aren¡¯t you? Hahaha!¡±


    Everyone burst intoughter.


    Wu Mo smiled and nodded. He told them a few things before he left.


    As they looked at Wu Mo¡¯s departing figure, a few of them felt somewhat baffled.


    ¡°Huh? Wait. Before Mr. Wu left, he told us to take care of the student. What¡¯s going on?¡±


    Seeing the professor¡¯s dumbfounded expression, the dean frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.


    ¡°I¡¯m not sure either. Perhaps this student isn¡¯t very skilled, so he¡¯s telling us to have enough patience and not be anxious.¡±


    ¡°Oh, I understand. Mr. Wu worries too much. Since he invited him here, we¡¯ll naturally educate him well. No matter how his academic results are or how his progress is, we won¡¯t be upset with him!¡±


    Therefore, the few of them secretly made up their minds to spend more time educating Gnar. They could not let Mr. Wu down.


    From that day on, Gnar had three personal professors.


    The three of them would take turns teaching him how to operate a mech. From theory sses to practical lessons, to special operating skills, and areas that needed special treatment, there would be a dedicated professor to guide him.


    Gnar was very happy about this. After all, there were so many instructors who could answer all the questions he had on mechs.


    Today, Gnar participated in a practical lesson.


    All the students saw a mech, and they tried it out one by one.


    However, they could merely operate a few simple controls in the cockpit. This only allowed the mech to carry out some basic operations!


    ¡°Gnar, it¡¯s your turn!¡±


    Gnar nodded slightly before he stood up and walked forward.


    Then, with a leap, he entered the mech¡¯s cockpit.


    For some reason, Gnar felt that once he was in such an environment, he could quickly grasp all the buttons and operations.


    Then, a three-dimensional image appeared in his mind. He could imagine this meching back to life, charging into the battlefield, and killing enemies.


    Then, Gnar pressed his hands on the keyboard and started typing.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    The students were all stunned by the scene before them.


    The mech suddenly came to life and rampaged through the za!


    ¡°Heavens! What¡¯s going on? What¡¯s going on?!¡±


    One should know that this mech had been retired from the war, which meant that it already had the strength to fight. It was just that it had been put aside and not used by others.


    At this moment, Gnar was piloting this mech. His entire person looked valiant and valiant, making people unable to help but feel respect for him!


    It was as if he had appeared on the battlefield again and killed countless opponents!


    ¡°Oh, my God! He actually managed to master mech control to such a level in the practical course. Is he very good at it?¡±


    The professor thought silently in his heart and didn¡¯t know what to say for a moment.


    Many people couldn¡¯t reach this level even after half a year of practice, but Nar had done it in a day. What was going on?


    Not only the professors, but even the students were shocked!


    ¡°Strange, why would Mr. Wu say that? Is he just trying to protect his body so that we can be at ease?¡±


    At this moment, he recalled Wu Mo¡¯s words and was speechless.


    ¡°Unfortunately, we misunderstood him. This is too funny.¡±


    But at this moment, Gnar¡¯s mech had already assumed many dangerous poses. He swung his sword again and again, chopping the air again and again. Then, he jumped high into the air and fell heavily to the ground.


    Such an action was truly too inconceivable!


    Everyone¡¯s hearts were in their throats, afraid that something would happen to Gnar.


    Finally, like a child who had just finished ying, Gnar slowly stopped what he was doing. Only then did everyone rx..

    ¡°Gnar, that was a close call. Remember to warn me next time!¡± Everyone had a bitter smile on their faces.


    If Mr. Wu hadn¡¯t brought Gnar here, he would have been criticized.


    Gnar nodded awkwardly. He scratched his head and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I just found it interesting. Mr. Wu is really a smart person!¡±


    Everyone rolled their eyes at him. Was he sucking up to Mr. Wu?


    But Mr. Wu wasn¡¯t around. Even if he wanted to take a photo, he had to do it in front of him!


    However, Gnar expressed his thoughts from the bottom of his heart because he had loved racing since he was young.


    It was a pity that there was nothing fun on undevelopeds, so he thought that this kind of mech was the most suitable for him.


    ¡°Gnar, you can skip your internship!¡±


    ¡°What? Why was she fired by Sir?¡±


    Nelson was so hurt that tears were about to fall.


    He felt that his skills were still very good. How could he be stopped by his mentor!


    The homeroom teacher smiled and spoke with great understanding, ¡°You didn¡¯t fail the test. You just did very well. You¡¯ve already gotten full marks for this subject. There¡¯s no need to spend more time revising for this subject!¡± ¡°I think I made a mistake,¡± Gnar said after some thought. ¡°There are a lot of things that are not perfect. Do you want to fix it tomorrow?¡±


    Everyone was speechless.


    He did not expect that this kid would say this because he wanted him to experience more.


    ¡°Alright, since you want to correct your mistakes, you can try.¡±


    The next day, Gnar participated in the practical ss again.


    This time, he finally learned his lesson. He managed to make his mech sway like a drunk old man. It looked veryical!


    ¡°This fellow is truly sinister. No wonder he was able to obtain Mr. Wu¡¯s favor!¡± Everyone could not help but feel the same.


    Gnar didn¡¯t even need to learn how to control machinery. He could directly win the Oscar for Best Actor!


    However, Gnar¡¯s performance won the sympathy of the audience and allowed them to resume their mech piloting lessons.


    A month passed in the blink of an eye.


    With Gnar¡¯s talent, he must have learned interster warships very quickly. He should have learned them by now!


    Why was there no reaction at all?


    Therefore, Wu Mo called on the same day to find out what had happened. ¡°Mr. Wu, Gnar saya that he¡¯s still a littlecking, so he¡¯s been taking practical lessons!¡±


    ¡°Is that so? He¡¯s quite modest, but perhaps because he¡¯s not familiar with the machinery, he won¡¯t be able to pilot it as easily as he does a battleship.¡± Wu Mo smiled.


    However, what he did not expect was that the dean¡¯s next sentence surprised him.???? <sup>r</sup>


    ¡°No, Mr. Wu. From our observations, Gnar probably wants to operate more mech, which is why he did so well in the practical ss.


    It looks like a failure, but we can¡¯t do anything about him.¡±


    Huh?! Why would this guy do this?


    At this moment, Wu Mo waspletely speechless. He had never thought that this guy would be so sinister.


    But if that was the case, his n would be ruined!


    Wu Mo¡¯s original n was to let this kid get used to operating mechs as soon as possible. That way, he could be the captain of a battalion.


    When that happened, he would be able to make a huge contribution to the human race and conquer the entire universe.


    However, this fellow was enjoying himself here. How could he tolerate this? ¡°Alright then, I¡¯ll go to the Mech Training Center this afternoon,¡± Wu Mo said after a moment of silence.


    ¡°Yes, Mr. Wu. Pleasee in!¡±


    Knowing that Wu Mo wasing, the entire academy was in an uproar.


    Everyone was ready to wee him.


    On campus, countless students were gathered together. They were all holding gs in their hands, and their faces were filled with excitement!


    He was the king of machinery in the current world. His appearance made everyone excited.


    Wu Mo did not expect that the moment he opened his mouth, he would be so enthusiastic.


    ¡°Headmaster, where¡¯s Gnar? I want to talk to him face to face!¡± Immediately after, Wu Mo saw Gnar, who was in the middle of a practical lesson.


    Just as the dean had said, Gnar controlled his mech like a drunk old man. He staggered forward as if he was about to fall.


    However, Wu Mo could naturally tell that this guy was indeed acting.


    However, his heart skipped a beat. He turned around and saw another mech. Wu Mo rolled his eyes and came up with a n.


    ¡®Haha. Brat, are you acting? Is it because you aren¡¯t good at operating mech? I want to see if you can do it!¡±


    With that thought in mind, Wu Mo walked over to a mech at the side.


    Everyone was excited to see Wu Mo move.


    Oh, my God!


    Was Mr. Wu going to use his own mech for a demonstration?


    Everyone gasped.


    Although they had all heard of Mr. Wu¡¯s name, they had never seen Wu Mo use such a move!


    But now, Wu Mo¡¯s level waspletely different.


    It would be a lie to say that he wasn¡¯t excited. Everyone knew that this father of mech was a master mech operator. So, just how strong was he?


    Everyone was looking forward to it.


    Wu Mo controlled the mech and moved it slowly, but it looked clumsy.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? How can Mr. Wu¡¯s mech be so easy to operate?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. It seems like his skill level isn¡¯t high either. Could it be that I¡¯m wrong?¡±


    ¡°Hey, shut up. Mr. Wu is a mech operator, how could he not know? You must be joking!¡±


    Most people thought that Wu Mo didn¡¯t know much about the game.


    After all, she had not fought for a long time!


    Everyone said that they understood and waited to see a good show.


    As expected, the mech started to elerate very quickly. Then, everyone was dumbfounded.


    ¡°Oh, my God! This mech is like an invincible god of war!¡±


    At this moment, everyone held their breaths.


    They all felt a sense of disbelief. This mech was indeed very powerful, but in Wu Mo¡¯s hands, it was even more terrifying.


    They were all very curious about how terrifying this mech was!


    When this mech attacked with all its might, everyone witnessed the might of this mech.


    He took the lead and stomped on the ground. Then, he used this force to quickly rush forward! Whoosh¡­


    Everyone was stunned. No one had expected Wu Mo to be so skilled at operating a mech.


    Right from the start, he performed a highly difficult maneuver that shocked Gnar from afar!


    ¡°What?! This guy wants to challenge me?¡±


    This was undoubtedly a provocation!


    When Gnar saw this, he was furious.


    He did not realize that his opponent was Wu Mo..

    Chapter 793: A Modified Meeh Isn¡¯t the Same As a


    Modified Car


    Trantor: End less Fantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion


    Gnar¡¯s mech suddenly turned around and dashed forward!


    ¡°Look. He said that he hasn¡¯tpletely mastered it yet, but his strength is not inferior to the instructors!¡±


    At this moment, all the students present were thinking in their hearts.


    Finally, the two mechs crashed into each other, and the sound of metal shing rang out!


    Both of them controlled their strength perfectly. They did not damage the mechs¡¯ body and outer shell too much.


    However, Wu Mo was faster. His mech held a long sword in each hand and drew afterimages in the air. It looked extremely terrifying.


    Whether it was in terms of agility or speed, Gnar¡¯s mech was inferior to Wu Mo¡¯s.


    As he waved his body, his speed clearly slowed down.


    In the end, Gnar could not defeat Wu Mo and could only admit defeat.


    He first dodged to the side, but he missed and was hit by the sword.


    Immediately after, a powerful rebound force caused his body to involuntarily tilt to the side.


    At this moment, Wu Mo¡¯s mech had already pounced forward. Its two huge ws grabbed Gnar¡¯s mech and prevented it from falling to the ground!


    ¡°I surrender! I wonder who can actually operate a mech so well?¡±


    Gnar jumped down from the cockpit, and his tone carried a trace of heartfelt admiration.


    Unexpectedly, his opponent, who walked out of the other mech, was Wu Mo!


    ¡°Ah! I didn¡¯t expect it to be you, Mr. Wu!¡± Gnar eximed in shock.


    Everyone burst intoughter.


    This kid had been too arrogant. Had he finally met a decent opponent?


    ¡°If you¡¯re so powerful, why did you pretend to be an ordinary student? Are you afraid that you¡¯ll never have the chance to pilot a mech again?¡±


    Wu Mo wanted tough.


    One should know that in the future space wars, they might have to use their own mechs to fight those aliens.


    Since he wanted to learn control techniques, there were plenty of them. Why did he have to limit himself to this center?


    However, Gnar did not realize this. He was very interested in his mech, which was why he chose to stay there.


    For some reason, Gnar suddenly said something that shocked him.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, why don¡¯t you give me this mech? I n to modify it to my liking. I have a lot of ideas in my head, but I don¡¯t know if I can execute them!¡±


    Ah! A transformation!


    When everyone heard this, they were instantly confused.


    Gnar¡¯s idea was very bold!


    One should realize that a mech¡¯s external appearance and internal structure had already been fixed. Someone had to be a lunatic to casually modify it.


    After all, modifying a mech was not only difficult in terms of technology. More importantly, once the modification waspleted, it would fall into endless danger in the following battles.


    The mech¡¯s original appearance would be different as it entered the battlefield!


    If something went wrong, what should he do?


    Therefore, Wu Mo spoke to him seriously, ¡°Gnar, modifying a mech ispletely different from modifying a car. If the modification fails even once, the consequences will be unimaginable. You¡¯d better consider it carefully!¡±


    Hearing Wu Mo¡¯s words, Gnar¡¯s face was filled with determination.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, I understand, but I want to modify it. I have a lot of ideas, and I want to try them out.¡±


    Seeing his firm attitude, Wu Mo contemted for a moment and agreed.


    In addition, Wu Mo actually agreed, which made everyone feel incredulous.


    What was going on? Was Mr. Wu involved?


    At this moment, Gnar slowly walked over with his mech.


    Everyone was speechless as they brought the mech out of the department.


    No one knew how this mech would be modified. Everyone was very curious about what this mech would look like!


    Wu Mo allowed Gnar to carry out some modifications in a huge warehouse on the modification base.


    There were all kinds of mech parts there. He could modify them at will without any problems.


    Next, Gnarpletely trapped himself in the warehouse. He ignored everything in the outside world and devoted himself to his research.


    Wu Mo was very satisfied with his attitude. It seemed that he was very interested in the mech¡¯s transformation!


    Wu Mo had been researching the improved version of the Life No. 3 during this period of time. He knew that even if it cost two hundred million per bottle, many people would still be willing to buy it.


    However, the problem was that fewer and fewer people were qualified to participate in the auction.


    This meant that there were many people who had the money, but they did not have the right to buy it.


    In fact, everyone knew that Mr. Wu did not really want to use this thing to make money.


    With China¡¯s current economic level, they only needed technology and resources, not money!


    China also wanted everyone to benefit from it.


    However, there were also many people who did not understand and were reluctant to spend money. They were called idiots.


    As for those who saw through this, they directly paid for it. However, there was a restriction. After buying it once, they could not buy it a second time.


    They would use this opportunity to raise their prices.


    ¡°Sigh. What a pity. I was going to order another serving, but I didn¡¯t have that condition!¡±


    Some people sighed.


    There were also people who had been envious. They clearly had countless money in their hands, but they could not buy any of them.


    Since he had been cklisted by Mr. Wu, what else could he do?


    Today, Wu Mo had developed an improved version of Life No. 3.


    Although his stock was much lower than before, there was nothing wrong with having more than a hundred bottles.


    Wu Mo looked at the time and realized that it had been seven days since Gnar¡¯s modification waspleted!


    I want to give it a try!


    Wu Mo had been thinking about it in the car. Gnar must not have been able to modify the mech properly. Otherwise, he would havee to see him immediately!


    However, Wu Mo was clearly wrong.


    When he arrived, he waspletely stunned because there was a huge mech before him.


    It was calm, silent, and cold.


    Its two sharp des emitted a terrifying aura as if the Grim Reaper had descended. It could make one shudder!


    This mech was so intimidating. Furthermore, it was technologically more advanced.


    Wu Mo discovered that the appearance of its armor had seemingly changed!


    The current armor was much sturdier. It also had a special luster which made it seem untouchable.


    The length and height of its entire body had not changed, but the structure of its body was more precise than before.


    With just one look, Wu Mo knew that this mech now posed a greater danger to its opponents.. There were at least a dozen more lethal weapons on its body!

 Chapter 794 - 794: I’m Obessed With It

    Chapter 794: I¡¯m Obessed With It


    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion


    ¡®So, you¡¯re able to make such modifications¡­ How interesting!¡¯ Wu Mo muttered in his heart.


    One should know that this mech was an extremely lethal weapon. Not only did it have a pair of des, but it also had a mechanical arm and an extremely advancedser cannon.


    Gnar had transformed it into an unstoppable killer!


    ¡°Mr. Wu, you¡¯re here!¡±


    Right then, Gnar was holding a wrench and some essories in his hand. He had a grin on his face.


    He went up to Wu Mo in excitement as if he could not wait anymore.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, have a look. I turned the double-edged sword into an eight-edged sword after I saw something simr in an anime. It¡¯s really cool!¡±


    Wow! He had incorporated the Eight Sword Style.


    Wu Mo did not know what to think about it, but he realized that his guess was right.


    Se??ch ?ew?o?e?/o?g o? ?oo?l?


    There were six smaller des before the two giant ones.


    Once the des opened up, they would indeed form eight des.


    However, Wu Mo wondered why he chose to implement the Eight Sword Style when he could not even handle two swords.


    Gnar then showed him the next transformation.


    ¡°Look, Mr. Wu. It can shoot powerful mes out of its mouth. These mes can increase its speed to the extreme and also form a sea of fire to drown the enemy!¡±


    Wu Mo was at a loss for words as he listened to Gnar¡¯s description.


    He only had one thought in his mind: Had Gnar destroyed the mech¡¯s internal structure after modifying it to such a state?


    If that was the case, was the mech¡¯s initial quality still intact?


    If they were not careful, they would likely lose their lives while fighting in space!


    ¡°Gnar, you have to keep it in its original state and transform it back into a pile of ¡®scrap metal,¡±¡® Wu Mo said seriously.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Mr. Wu. I know what I¡¯m doing.¡± Gnar nodded and smiled.


    ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, you can take a closer look.¡±


    Finally, Gnar walked into the mech and started fiddling around.


    As Wu Mo observed the mech¡¯s movements, he found that there were indeed no issues at all!


    In the end, Wu Mo was incredibly satisfied. At least on the surface, this mech seemed to be intact.


    However, its transformation was unbelievable.


    How audacious of a primitive alien to modify his mech.


    Gnar smiled again. ¡°Mr. Wu, once my mech is ready, you can mass produce it!¡±


    Mass production? That would be interesting!


    Wu Mo smiled slightly. He was not sure what the purpose of this mech was, but it seemed to be moreplex than before.


    If he wanted to mass produce it, he had to first verify its functionality!


    A navigation ship sent a message saying that a new had appeared thirty light-years away from them.


    In fact, many simrs had appeared on the previous star maps, but most of them were undeveloped like Gnar¡¯s. Very few could pose a threat to them.


    However, this one was different. This unknown before them was a highly developed one!


    Otherwise, the patrols would not have given Wu Mo a warning or even inform him at all.


    If it was not something that could cause harm to Earth, it would not be transmitted to him.


    Unfortunately, they had found a that was capable of destroying them. So, powerful weapons were required for their investigation!


    ¡®We should go and check it out! There¡¯s an unknown here. What if its people are up to something?¡¯ some people thought.


    Furthermore, Wu Mo believed that there was a high chance that advanced creatures would be on this. They might even grow and develop gradually.


    This was the best opportunity to connect. Otherwise, their cultures would likely sh!


    When that happened, the enemy¡¯s strength might be even greater. Humans would then have to pay a huge price to defeat them.


    Not long after, the exploration team set off. There was a total of more than thirty huge ships, including some mechs.


    After Gnar found out about this, he insisted on going with them!


    On top of that, he brought one of his mechs onto the spaceship.


    Wu Mo waspletely speechless. He was curious about the type of mech that Gnar was operating.


    Meanwhile, everyone gathered and looked at the interster fleet before them. Their hearts were heavy.


    Their fleet had dispatched a total of more than thirty ships with the goal of seizing the newly discovered.


    However, what else could they do?


    No one knew whethere humans or this new posed more of a threat. Even with so many Chinese mech pilots, no mistakes could be tolerated!


    At this moment, all the young pilots on the huge spaceship were filled with curiosity about Gnar¡¯s mech.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? What is this thing?¡± someone eximed.


    It was too strange. They had never seen such a mech before!


    That¡¯s right. This mech did not appear normal from the outside, but it was extremely lethal.


    In fact, many people could understand why there would be many robotic arms. But eight des?


    Furthermore, there were numerous holes on the mech¡¯s muzzle. It was obvious how strong its offensive power was!


    Everyone silently wondered what had happened to the mech.


    Someone could not help but ask, ¡°Brother, what¡¯s the situation with your mech? Has it been updated recently?¡±


    Everyone was sitting in their own cockpits, but they could stillmunicate with the outside world.


    They could even see their conversations on their screens and hear each other¡¯s voices.


    ¡°I made some modifications to this mech. It¡¯s my favorite model,¡± Gnar said.


    Ah! A modified version!


    Everyone was stunned. Was that even possible?


    Also, this guy decided to modify his own mech. Was he crazy?


    ¡°Is this kid crazy? You modified a mech? Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re not a pilot or a mechanic!¡±


    Right then, the surrounding mech operators started to walk toward them.


    They slowly came over and kept asking questions. They wanted to learn what had happened from Gnar.


    Gnar smiled. ¡°No. I¡¯m just a mech operator. But I¡¯ve always been researching how to modify my mech. That¡¯s how I got to where I am today.¡±


    Everyone fell silent and thought that he was probably close to Wu Mo.


    Otherwise, no matter how well he operated the mech, he would not be able to modify it.


    It was Wu Mo¡¯s treasure. How could it be so easy to modify?


    They were all well aware of this..

 Chapter 795 - 795: A Historical Moment

    Chapter 795: A Historical Moment


    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion


    At that moment, everyone realized how powerful the mech was.


    Finally, they approached the, and even Wu Mo was excited.


    ¡°This is a historic moment,¡± he said. ¡°It¡¯s also the first time we humans are disying our strength on a universal scale!¡±


    Yes, everyone around thought so.


    Had mankind not been waiting for the arrival of aliens and preparing to fight them?


    However, Earth, which was once full of primitive humans, had already be a powerhouse.


    Thirty spaceships arrived above the and began tounch satellites. They covered every corner of the.


    Then, they began to search for any traces of.


    During this period of time, the inhabitants of the naturally noticed this.


    Se??ch ?ew?o?e?/o?g o? ?oo?l?


    ¡°They can shoot!¡±


    Wu Mo was stunned because he realized that the attack was aimed at the thirty-plus battleships.


    He never thought that this group of people would be so violent and attack at the slightest provocation.


    Right then, more than a hundred cannons opened fire at the same time!


    These resembled old-fashioned cannons, but they had a long range and could even hit a cruiser.


    Even the sturdiest shell would be destroyed!


    ¡°Go, go, go! Hurry up and retreat. They¡¯re too riled up! At this moment, everyone could not help but think of this.


    Themander-in-chief immediately ordered that the battleship be maneuvered to the side to avoid the round of salvo.


    The huge navigation ship would soonnd. Once that happened, all the mechs would set off right away and raze the to the ground.


    The officer had realized earlier on that the enemy was outnumbered!


    In fact, their cutting-edge technology could notpare to human technology at all.


    As long as they mobilized those mechs, it would be enough!


    Just as he had expected, facing such powerful artillery fire, this huge ship could notnd at all.


    Even so, the spaceship did not stop at all. It was already close to the surface of the and was about tond.


    At this moment, the entire Earth was in a state of panic. They frantically fired


    more powerful weapons, as if they were going to destroy the entire Earth!


    When Wu Mo saw this scene from the headquarters, his pupils could not help but shrink.


    Judging from the terrifying artillery fire just now, he could clearly feel that the Earthlings had a tenacious will to survive!


    ¡®So, is it wrong for us to conquer this now?¡¯ Wu Mo thought to himself. Everyone in the surroundings quieted down. They widened their eyes and stared at the light screen without blinking, not wanting to miss a single thing. Following thending of the navigation ship, one pilot after another controlled their huge mechs and slowly walked out.


    With the arrival of the mechs, all the aliens on Earth fell into despair! Although those aliens looked very simr to humans, their eyes and mouths were very different. From afar, they looked like the same person.


    ¡°Oh, my god! What is that thing? What a huge car. Is it a legendary god?¡± At this moment, a scream of terror and despair came from the extraterrestrials.


    There was nothing they could do about it. Originally, they had nned to shoot down those floating creatures with artillery fire.


    At this moment, there were actually dozens of terrifying mechs on this piece ofnd!


    The mechs that were more than ten meters tall were like metal monsters. With how fast the mechs were, they could not even think of resisting. They scattered in all directions.


    A few mechs even destroyed their houses!


    The house was very simple and was quickly destroyed. However, the cannons hidden in the house looked pretty good.


    This time, the wing of one of the frigates was hit by a cannonball and suffered some damage. Its flight speed was also greatly affected.


    ¡°It looks like the civilization here is still at the early three-star stage. It¡¯s even worse than the humans of the past.¡±


    At this moment, Wu Mo saw it clearly.


    Outside, the supreme leader of this world also sensed that something was wrong!


    He felt that those mechs were too powerful. If he wanted to deal with them, he would have to pay a huge price.


    Until one day, the leader gritted his teeth and announced the end of this war that hadsted for twenty-four hours.


    ¡°Send all the brave warriors to drive our tanks and fight those metal monsters to the death!¡±


    The man in the lead made a firm decision. Immediately after, one powerful tank after another disyed the most powerful force on Earth.


    Everyone¡¯s eyes shed!


    Even Wu Mo had never thought that he could develop such a weapon. ¡°Destroy all the tanks! Only one is left!¡± Wu Mo ordered.


    Since Wu Mo had already said so, what was there to worry about?


    Therefore, Gnar and the others became a little impatient. They all piloted their mechs forward.


    Moreover, the difference in strength between the two of races was too great in this battle. The aliens suffered a crushing defeat!


    One should know that the current human machinery technology had already developed to a point where it could destroy all buildings and weapons!


    The tanks on the other side were also very powerful, but they were not that important in battle. More importantly, they were more skilled in support.


    In fact, these tanks paled inparison to the human tanks. There was no way they couldpete with them!


    Although the tank was also covered by artillery fire, it was like scratching an itch to the thick steel shell of the tank. Other than some sparks, it did not cause any substantial damage.


    There were also many alien soldiers on the tanks. They all raised their machine guns and fired at the soldiers.


    However, those bullets were useless when theynded on him. The one at the front was Gnar, who took most of the bullets! Relying on his iparably hard shell, he was not afraid of the other party¡¯s attacks at all.


    ¡°Haha. Come quickly.¡±


    Gnar smiled smugly. He had a carefree look on his face as he piloted his mech and led the way.


    Gnar¡¯s mech began to attack the opponent from the left and right. After he used the Eight de Stream, it was indeed very terrifying. In an instant, he held back ten tanks!


    ¡°Oh, my god! This is modified armor. It¡¯s so powerful!¡± At this moment, all the young mech operators were stunned. They never thought that this modified mech would be so powerful..

 Chapter 796 - 796: Strong Confidence

    Chapter 796: Strong Confidence


    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion I Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion


    After they discovered that the mech had been modified, they were secretly annoyed!


    Everyone was waiting for Gnar to make a fool of himself!


    However, they never expected that they would be the ones being mocked. The mech was very strong, and they had underestimated their rival.


    Seeing this, Wu Mo waspletely stunned.


    He remembered something that Gnar had previously told him. Why did not they mass produce such powerful machines?


    Back then, Wu Mo had assumed that this mech was not as powerful as Gnar imagined.


    He thought that those fancy modifications would most likely prevent it from withstanding too much damage in battle and lead to its destruction.


    However, this mech was fighting against twenty enemies alone.


    The Eight Sword Style was also incredibly effective as it could cripple seven to eightbat units.


    It had only been less than ten minutes since the battle began!


    Its opponents had at most two or three tanks, and it was suppressing all of them. It was impossible for them to destroy the mech.


    The difference between them was like heaven and earth!


    One should know that these pilots had all graduated from the Mech Training Center. There would not be any problems at all.


    There was only one possibility, and that was that both parties had different abilities!


    The modified armor of Gnar was too terrifying. It destroyed nearly tweny tanks.


    Immediately, Gnar volunteered to join the battle.


    ¡°How terrifying! It¡¯s so powerful!¡±


    Such a thought appeared in everyone¡¯s mind.


    They were all wondering why Mr. Wu would send such a terrifying assassin


    over.


    in their opinion, an expert of this level should at least be amander. With his strength, he should not have appeared here.


    As time passed, Gnar was fearless!


    He led everyone and started a massacre as they walked towards the main area of the.


    In a building, Gnar captured the leader of this!


    At this moment, the leader of the group had a pained look on his face. It was obvious that he was unwilling to be captured alive and was prepared tomit suicide.


    However, what he did not expect was that arge suddenly shot out from Gnar¡¯s mech and bound him up.


    Everyone was shocked!


    What kind of technology was this to be able to create such a at this time! Wu Mo also looked helpless. However, he could not help butugh.¡± We need to mass produce this model of mech.¡¯<sup>1</sup>


    Hearing Wu Mo¡¯s words, the others nodded in agreement.


    That¡¯s right!


    With these things, such mechs could be of great use in future battles.


    Wu Mo couldn¡¯t help but think that even Gnar could modify this mech into such a state.


    If the people of these low-levels were gathered together, could they also carry out arge-scale modification of these spaceships?


    At that time, there would definitely be better results!


    NOW that he thought of such a bold idea, Wu Mo felt his heart beat faster.


    This was something that could not be helped, because no one would believe such a thing!


    A low-level life form from another world had high intelligence, but the living conditions were very poor. This meant that their technology had never been able to improve.


    However, they were going to modify a state-of-the-art interster warship.


    China would never agree to this!


    They all thought that Mr. Wu¡¯s actions were a little reckless.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, do you think those low-level superpowered people have the right to modify a shuttle? You know, a shuttle is rted to the lives of many people. If something goes wrong during the modification process, what can we do?¡± Everyone tried to persuade him, hoping that Wu Mo wouldn¡¯t be so rash.


    At first, Wu Mo had thought so too. The other party had modified a mecha, which could very well cause casualties on their side.


    But after seeing the power of this mech, he trusted Gnar¡¯s words a little more. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry. The modified ship will not be piloted in the next phase of the operation!¡±


    ¡°This way, even if it explodes, no one will be hurt!


    With Wu Mo¡¯s words, the crowd¡¯s discussions immediately lessened. Following that, everyone was very excited. Was what Wu Mo said true? The other party had powerful modification skills and could even modify a spaceship?


    Soon, Gnar received Wu Mo¡¯s order and rushed over.


    Gnar¡¯s face was filled with exhaustion, but his eyes were filled with excitement!


    He was very interested in modification, so when Mr. Wu invited him to modify a spaceship, he was in a good mood.


    -Mr. Wu, I¡¯m still short of people!¡± Gnar answered without hesitation. Wu Mo thought so too, because he knew very well that it was absolutely impossible for one person to do this.


    ¡°Okay, bring some people over, I will prepare a ce for you. Also, can you take a look at this spaceship?¡±


    And now, Gnar saw a very high level ¡®Godwind¡¯ spaceship.


    This Divine Wind battleship was originally created by the Divine Wind Squad, but Wu Mo wanted to transform it into a giant battleship that had been


    modified by Gnar.


    If it wasn¡¯t for Wu Mo¡¯s reminder, Gnar wouldn¡¯t have thought that this ship would be so powerful.


    Now, Wu Mo wanted to see if there was anything that could be modified on such a high-tech Divine Wind spaceship, or if it was just for fun!


    At this moment, everyone held their breaths. Some people even started a live broadcast.


    However, Wu Mo did not pay too much attention to it. After all, ten days was enough for them toplete the transformation.


    If too much attention was targeted by others, it was very likely to bring a huge psychological burden to oneself, and it was even possible that the transformation would fail.


    In the past ten days, Gnar had been the leader and everyone had been very cooperative.


    First, they conducted a detailed study of the various parts of the ship.


    In the end, cold sweat broke out on everyone¡¯s foreheads, especially Gnar. His lips were trembling!


    It was obvious that this was caused by a long period of high-intensity concentration.


    He couldn¡¯t be med. He had been frightened by that ship.


    Seeing Gnar¡¯s reaction, Wu Mo could not help butugh.


    ¡°Haha. You still want to modify it so quickly? I want to see it!¡±


    Wu Mo smiled.


    In the next moment, Gnar and the others began to move.


    He ced the Divine Wind on arge shelf and began to dismantle the outer shell of the spaceship.


    The outeryer of the Divine Wind was made of extremely hard metal. If it was dismantled, it was very likely to cause serious internal injuries!


    However, Gnar had a determined look on his face. In his opinion, this was the only way he could better understand the internal structure of the ship.


    The rest was easy. After understanding the structure of the building, all that was left was to reassemble theplicated devices.


    Then, he began toe up with all kinds of strange ideas based on his own ideas!

 Chapter 797 - 797: Transformed Meeh

    Chapter 797: Transformed Meeh


    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion


    For the past ten days, Wu Mo had been observing the situation. He wanted to see how far Gnar and the others had progressed.


    On this day, he was surprised to see that their modification work was more than ny percent done!


    ¡°Wow. It¡¯s only been seven days, and you¡¯re almost done modifying it. Aren¡¯t you going a little too fast?¡±


    Wu Mo¡¯s heart was filled with doubts.


    He was also incredibly curious about the modifications they had done.


    However, Wu Mo almost couldn¡¯t hold back hisughter.


    There was no other reason than the fact that the thing that they had modified was a joke!


    That¡¯s right. What was going on before him? Wu Mo dared to bet that he had never seen such aical transformation before.


    The spaceship that originally looked normal now looked no different from a very ordinary car.


    Was installing a few tires on a spaceship and turning it into a car considered a good modification?


    At this moment, Wu Mo stepped forward and asked.


    ¡°Gnar, I think you¡¯re going to lose. This doesn¡¯t look like the design!¡±


    Everyone covered their mouths andughed.


    Gnar¡¯s car was a joke to them. No one in the world would think that this was a sessful modification.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, don¡¯t think that I¡¯m going to make you a car. This car is very technical. I¡¯ll have to exin it to you!¡±


    ¡°Hmm, I see. Then tell me, what exactly is happening here?


    ¡°You¡¯re not saying this because you modified a substandard product, right?¡±


    Wu Mo wasn¡¯t someone who was easily deceived. As long as he said something, he would be able to sense it.


    Everyone widened their eyes and waited for an exnation.


    Hence, Gnar invited Wu Mo and him to sit down in the garage.


    The scene changed, and everyone realized that everything in the game had changed.


    At this moment, a car that looked like a spaceship appeared. It looked very luxurious as if it was a ce suitable for living.


    If one observed carefully, they would find that it had all kinds of electrical appliances.


    ¡°What? Gnar, you actually turned this ce into a house. Is this your philosophy and your path of life?¡±


    Wu Mo¡¯s funny reaction made the surrounding peopleugh.


    The viewers of live broadcast, especially, almostughed out loud!


    ¡°Oh, my God! That guy, Gnar, is awesome. He actually turned a spaceship into a mobile home.¡±


    ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s really funny. I can guarantee that I¡¯ve never seen such a funny scene in my life. If it¡¯s really like what Gnar said, where everyone is sitting in their own car, would there be a need for a flying car?¡±


    ¡°Haha. An aircraft worth hundreds of millions was smashed into a car that¡¯s worth tens of thousands of yuan. Gnar is being wasteful!¡±


    At this moment, everyone spoke in a mocking tone. They were merciless toward Gnar.


    In their eyes, he was a huge failure!


    ¡°Mr. Wu, please press this button,¡± Gnar said calmly.


    As he spoke, he ced an item in front of Wu Mo.


    Wu Mo didn¡¯t think too much about it and simply pressed a switch. In an instant, the entire world shook!


    ¡°Whoa. There¡¯s such a thing?!¡±


    At this moment, everyone was stunned.


    The car suddenly started up, and then modules popped out of the car one by one.


    Then, they quickly reassembled!


    They saw arms, legs, body, and joints stretching out at this moment, and it looked just like a real mech.


    ¡°Ah! So it¡¯s a mech. This is beyond unbelievable.¡±


    Everyone was shocked and amazed.


    No one could believe that it was a car!


    In the blink of an eye, it turned into a giant battle mech?


    Apart from that, it was divided into two form. One was a mech, and the other was a spaceship.


    In other words, it could move freely in closebat.


    More importantly, this thing could even travel through the stars. It had no weaknesses!


    In the past, humans had to hide their mechs on their ships while they traveled long distances.


    However, if they were able to modify it to this extent, they could be a mech or a powerful interster warrior.


    Moreover, it couldnd on a, just like a car. It was simply a perfect existence.


    Wu Mo took a deep breath and gave him a thumbs up.


    ¡°Gnar, you¡¯re amazing!¡±


    At this moment, Wu Mo was truly convinced by Gnar!


    In his opinion, there were not many people who could do this.


    If everyone could be a powerhouse like Gnar, they could at least be a qualified scientist.


    What Gnar did now was enough to make him one of the richest men in the world.


    It had to be said that Wu Mo knew very well what this transformation meant. Gnar looked at the dumbfounded people around him. He was extremely happy, especially when he saw Mr. Wu¡¯s dumbfounded expression.


    This was one of the main reasons why he did this. It was to give others a surprise.


    When the interster hero he admired, Wu Mo, felt the same, his heart was filled with satisfaction.


    ¡°Haha. Mr. Wu, do you think that my transformation went smoothly?¡±


    At this moment, Gnar¡¯s answer was very simple.


    Everyone looked at her strangely.


    ¡°D*mn! You¡¯ve already modified it to such an extent, but you¡¯re still not done? Are you nning to modify it into a next?¡±


    At this moment, everyone could not help but have a simr thought in their minds.


    ¡°What do you think?¡± Wu Mo suddenly asked. ¡°Gnar, do you think you¡¯re qualified to be this¡¯s chief customizer?¡±


    Ah! He would basically be the chief designer!


    Hearing Wu Mo¡¯s words, everyone was shocked.


    More importantly, modifying was a pleasure for him. Once he became an official, he could modify everything on this as he pleased.


    However, to his surprise, as soon as Wu Mo finished speaking, Gnar perked up and nodded. ¡°Alright, Mr. Wu. I promise you that as long as I take this position, I will definitely do everything here better!¡±


    If it was in the past, Wu Mo would definitely think that he was talking nonsense, but this time, he would not have any doubts.


    Yes, that was what Gnar did. Otherwise, who else in the world could do it?


    ¡°Alright, Gnar. It¡¯s settled then. You¡¯re our chief customizer. Next, I¡¯m going to let you modify some old machinery. You have to transform this machinery into a new type of machinery with extremely strong and excellent performance!¡± ¡°Yes, Mr. Wu. I promise you!¡± Gnar said confidently..

    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion


    Wu Mo heaved a sigh of relief. If he had note, he would have missed out on such top-notch talent.


    However, Wu Mo had already obtained the genius Gnar. He was already very satisfied, so what else could he do?<div>


    Wu Mo could not say anything more. The humans on Earth all regarded themselves as advanced life forms, but there had never been anyone with the ability to modify machines like Gnar.


    At this moment, a piece of important information came from the front line!


    There was an extremely powerful force surging on the undeveloped. It seemed like it was about to explode.


    Everyone could feel that the terrifying heat was slowly condensing. Once it exploded, the whole of Earth would bepletely destroyed!


    ¡°We have to retreat immediately. A huge nuclear bomb has appeared thirty light-years away. This is bad!¡±


    Wu Mo¡¯s expression changed, and he quickly ordered everyone to retreat.


    Then, everyone fled into the distance with their ships!


    They floated quietly in the distance, but they still felt suffocated.


    None of them expected such a terrifying power to erupt from this. What was going on?


    ¡°Hasn¡¯t Mr. Wu studied it?¡±


    At this moment, someone suddenly said, ¡°Mr. Wu isn¡¯t a god. How can he see everything? Besides, we¡¯re in such close proximity during an emergency. Let¡¯s not be impulsive for the time being and think about how to deal with this!¡± Everyone fell silent.<div>


    What kind of power would erupt this time?


    However, a huge explosion spread out in the next second. It moved extremely fast and soon became a series of explosions!


    No one expected this situation. It was as if an ancient red star had suddenly exploded and formed a new.


    ¡°Oh, no! Look at that!¡±


    Right then, everyone saw a huge wormhole appear in the depths of the pitch-ck space.


    ¡°Ah! What¡¯s going on?¡± someone eximed in disbelief.


    After all, the sudden appearance of a spatial passageway in outer space was quite shocking.


    At this moment, everyone¡¯s eyes involuntarily fell on Wu Mo who was on their home.


    They wanted to know what Wu Mo was thinking and what he could see.


    When Wu Mo saw the scene, he remained extremely calm. It never urred to him that something simr to a ck hole would appear before him.


    Furthermore, he did not forget that a simple explosion could st a hole in this ce. How terrible was that?


    ¡°No, we can¡¯t continue like this. Once a ck hole appears, it will be disastrous for our.¡±


    Wu Mo looked at the huge ck hole, which kept shrinking. It was trying to absorb everything in its path, and not even light could prate it.


    In other words, this ck hole had likely teleported over from another ne!


    If there were stronger monsters, it would be catastrophic.


    Just then, something unexpected happened!


    The entire universe distorted and dissipated inch by inch before his eyes.


    Not long after, a row of figures slowly floated out of the ck hole.


    ¡°Look!¡± someone suddenly shouted.


    Then, they used a high-resolution camera to rey the scene.


    As expected, some strange creatures had suddenly appeared in the void.


    ¡°What the hell is going on? Is there something on the other side of the ck hole?¡±


    The fleetmander scratched his head in disbelief.


    Just as he gave the order to capture these strange aliens, he suddenly realized that the aliens were too fast!


    They did not detect any electromaic waves either. This meant that the aliens were not traveling through space in a bastion; they were relying on their own bodies.


    ¡°Wow! If they can travel freely in space, where did that energye from?


    At this moment, everyone in theboratory, including Wu Mo, was shocked.


    He looked at the scene before him, and he remained speechless for a long time. Such movement was too unbelievable. How could someone move freely in the vast universe with the strength of their body alone?


    Furthermore, they were moving too fast. Even a high-definition camera would find it difficult to keep up.


    Wu Mo knew that even if he traveled through the four-dimensional world, he would only be transported from one ce to another. This was a form of teleportation.


    However, these aliens could fly.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, why don¡¯t we keep an eye on all thes in this area? We can set a trap here. Once they show up, we can detect them immediately!¡± someone suddenly suggested.


    At this point, Wu Mo had no better choice.


    He nodded and immediately gave the order for the people below to quickly start setting up.


    Eventually, arge waspleted.


    Eternal Sun, Dark Star, Fita, Pirna, Earth, and Gnar¡¯s undeveloped¡ª there were a total of sixs, and they upied a pitch-ck space.


    Everything within thirty light-years was under their surveince!


    Right now, everyone felt a sense of oppression. Even the distant starry sky was a blur.


    The light dissipated inch by inch, and a strange power began to emerge.


    ¡°Could there be another space on the other side of this ck hole?¡±


    Wu Mo¡¯s heart thumped as a terrifying thought appeared in his mind.


    He suddenly realized that if he wanted to monitor the entire universe, he had to create an ultra-long-distance monitoring device to avoid danger.


    It would be an awesome cosmic telescope!


    It should eliminate all targets that could cause chaos and observe the real world under uncertain circumstances.


    If there was such a super telescope, it would be a divine tool.


    Moreover, these ¡°eyes¡± would be very different from Wu Mo¡¯s eyes.


    The Heavenly Eye could scan every ce within thirty light-years, while God¡¯s Eye could cover the entire space, which meant that they could cover all of the observable universe!


    However, Wu Mo was aware how difficult it was to make such devices.


    With their current level of technology, it was almost impossible to create a super astronomical telescope.


    However, Wu Mo was able to use the Heavenly Eye to find the whereabouts of any monster, or group of monsters, to be precise..

    Chapter 799 - 799: We Must Eradicate Them No Matter What


    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion


    At this moment, many people finally understood why some did not notice the existence of those creatures.


    Since the monsters moved over arge area, they could fly however they wanted. No one could stop them.<div>


    All of a sudden, everyone noticed that a group of figures had appeared in the distant space.


    ¡°Yes, that¡¯s it. Get him out!¡± the officer continued to order.


    Even Wu Mo, who was standing at the side, had an excited expression on his face. He wanted to see what they had discovered.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, please calm down. I¡¯ll get someone to look for him now. I believe we¡¯ll find him soon.¡±


    Right then, the military officer on the front line sent out the news.


    As expected, it did not take long for everyone to arrive at their destination.


    As for the reconnaissance ships, they were all prepared. No matter who these people were, they would capture them at the first moment.


    Unbeknownst to them, these aliens were actually of a strange type!


    They were like huge machines, and their terrifying eyes could make anyone shudder.


    Everyone thought that they were drones, or monsters simr to the ones on Pirna.


    People had every reason to question how they came about and whether they were real or not.<div>


    However, it was also at this moment that a beast suddenly changed its direction and charged directly at the ship.


    Only then did everyone realize that their guess had been wrong!


    Wu Mo gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Oh, no! These monsters areing from the dimensional space outside the ck hole. Get back! Don¡¯t let theme any closer!¡±


    However, Wu Mo¡¯s order came a little toote. Those strange creatures from the dimensional space had already closed in.


    At the same time, his two huge arms were no longer obstructed in space. His arms exploded with astonishing speed and mmed into the sailing ship.


    Bang!


    At this moment, a big boom came from the huge battleship, and it began to copse.


    Then, pieces of warship wreckage were strewn all across the sky. Everyone s eyes turned red.


    No one thought these strange monsters would actually attack their battleships with their own bodies.


    What was going on?


    Just then, a researcher next to Wu Mo asked, ¡°Mr. Wu, why don¡¯t we just use a sma explosion or a high-energy particle explosion topletely destroy them? At this point, it¡¯s really risky to study them. There¡¯s no need to try again!¡±


    What he said sounded very reasonable. Everyone knew that Wu Mo definitely wanted to capture those aliens and study them carefully.


    However, if they insisted on doing that, they would be courting death!


    Hence, they all tried to persuade him otherwise.


    As for whether or not they could save the young man, that would depend on WuMo.


    Wu Mo sighed. ¡°Alright. Let¡¯s not waste any more time. Just attack them. We must eradicate them no matter what it takes!¡¯


    Everyone was relieved when they received his order.


    If Wu Mo felt that way, they had nothing to be afraid of. They would kill all the beasts and not let a single living sample go.


    Boom!


    A terrifying light shot out from space and left behind destructive traces in the sky.


    Then, this power swept through the entire universe. Even the deads were not spared and were all sted into pieces.


    It never urred to them that humans could possess such powerful weapons! Everyone on many smalls widened their eyes in disbelief, not just China. Many people found it surreal, but this was not a movie. This was reality! No matter how they thought about it, they could not ept such a terrifying scene.


    ¡°Whoa! I don¡¯t believe it. This can¡¯t be real. This must be some kind of trick!¡± At this moment, some people could not believe that humans now had such powerful technology, and they were going on crazy rants.


    Wu Mo felt sorry for them.


    The world he was in had developed to such a stage, but they still could not fathom how he coulde up with this technology!


    Were they poor? Were they not pitiful?


    After a wave of attacks, those monsters seemed to be destroyed.


    Nevertheless, no one lowered their guard. Everyone kept their eyes open to find more secrets.


    However, what happened next shocked them!


    ¡°Oh, my God! Something¡¯s happened to Mr. Wu. We need backup. Ask the people from the Divine Wind to send reinforcements to deal with them imme


    Before he could finish his sentence, the expression on themander-in-chief¡¯s face changed repeatedly.


    There was nothing he could do about it. Strange creatures had appeared out of thin air!


    His expression became even more unpleasant, and his eyes were filled with hatred.


    Soon after, those terrifying monsters charged forward at a dazzling speed. Following that, the monsters ruthlessly smashed into the humans. Some could not put up a fight at all and they were torn apart by the monsters before dissipating into the air.


    Others even disappeared into space along with the navigation ship as if it was magic!


    ¡°Oh, no. Those weird guys didn¡¯t juste out of the ck hole, but they¡¯re also forming miniature ck holes and teleporting people to other ces!¡± Seeing this, Wu Mo instantly deduced the monsters¡¯ basic attack methods, and his expression changed drastically.


    He never thought that he would encounter such powerful monsters.


    They did not seem real. They were strange existences that one could only see in science fiction movies.


    Now that this had happened, Wu Mo had to admit that they were real! Immediately after, he began to issue orders and slowly said, ¡°In that case, let¡¯s get some of the ships to move out and surround us. Then, use the remote control device to make them self-destruct.¡±


    His words made everyone¡¯s heart ache. After all, the ships were highly valuable. It would be a pity if they were obliterated, but what could they do?


    Everyone knew that if they did not do as Wu Mo said, the number of casualties would increase greatly.


    When that happened, the entire Earth might be annihted!


    Under such circumstances, the only thing they could do was sacrifice their ships and destroy them.


    ¡°D*mn it! Go to hell!¡±


    After that, the pilots jumped off the spaceships. They were like unmanned drones thatunched attacks on arge number of creatures.


    Bang bang bang!


    It was hard to imagine an explosion that was like brilliant fireworks in space..

    ¡°Look! Are there fireworks?¡±


    A few children on others also thought that it was fireworks. They looked up with a hint of hope in their eyes.


    However, they did not know that there was chaos in the starry sky!


    One monster after another was in immense pain due to the explosion of the terrifying ships. Arge amount of blood flowed out of their bodies.


    However, they soon swallowed the force of the explosion.


    Yes, they teleported themselves to the other side using a method simr to devouring.


    ¡°Oh, no! What should we do if we can¡¯t take it?¡±


    At this moment, themander waspletely speechless. He had no way to deal with such a group of monsters.


    Everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on Wu Mo as they wanted to find a better solution.


    Wu Mo contemted for a while before he said,¡± It seems that we can¡¯tpete with those creatures with our current strength. Therefore, we need to protect each and fight them on the ground!¡±


    Since things had developed to such a point, Wu Mo had no other choice.


    He knew that even if hemanded them himself, no one would be able to defeat the monsters.


    He was already doing the best he could, so they could not me him!


    In the next second, Wu Mo understood that these creatures were indeed very strong.


    They could control their bodies at will and transform them into any shape.


    More importantly, the monsters could distort all their power and then devour it.


    Wu Mo was about to retreat, but the other party was not about to give him a chance!


    Due to the appearance of a few creatures behind him, Wu Mo had no choice but to give up on escaping.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, we¡¯re surrounded and trapped. We have no confidence in winning whatsoever!¡± someone suddenly said.


    It was the officer on the front line. He felt that they had reached the end.


    At this moment, his face was filled with sorrow, and he was at a loss.


    This upset Wu Mo greatly, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered. He believed that he would not lose this time.


    There were still some powerful young warriors on the ships who had yet to appear.


    Coincidentally, Zhao Liang was among them!


    ¡°Zhao Liang, I have an idea. Can you help me execute it?¡±


    At this moment, Wu Mo and Zhao Liang were alone together.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, I know what you¡¯re thinking. You¡¯re making use of my power to deal with them, but you¡¯re worried that I¡¯ll end up being sacrificed?¡± Zhao Liang asked.


    Hearing Zhao Liang¡¯s words, Wu Mo nodded heavily.


    Zhao Liang¡¯s life was in danger, so how could he not be worried?


    After all, anyone would be afraid in the face of such terrifying beasts!


    However, he also knew that if Zhao Liang did not make a move, no one in the entire human race would probably be able to stop them.


    Besides, Zhao Liang was one of the most powerful fighters with special abilities. He was unparalleled in terms of strength or speed.


    Furthermore, thanks to Wu Mo¡¯s continuous improvement, the special capsule in his body had been perfected.


    Under such circumstances, Wu Mo could sense that Zhao Liang¡¯s strength was even greater than before!


    Zhao Liang followed his instructions and walked to the front of the team. Right then, he saw a strange monster flying over.


    ¡°These aliens from the depths of the universe want to destroy our home? Kill them!¡±


    At this moment, Zhao Liang gritted his teeth and walked out.


    The live broadcast camera captured his resolute expression!


    He dodged the monster with magnificent speed and appeared behind it.


    ¡°Wow! There¡¯s a young human who¡¯s so powerful that he can actually fight that huge beast head-on. This is simply terrifying!¡±


    The viewers of the live broadcast could not help but gasp.


    None of them thought that someone would rush out under such circumstances. Immediately after, the terrifying creature continued to attack Zhao Liang. The two of them continued to collide and retreat. No one had the upper hand! ¡°Haha! Little fellow, I¡¯ve taken a fancy to you¡­¡±


    A mocking smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Liang¡¯s mouth. In his opinion, the monster looked down on him, while he took it seriously.


    Unfortunately, the strange monster blocked his attacks time and time again. This made him feel extremely powerless.


    ¡°No. This can¡¯t go on. If this continues, I¡¯ll be killed!¡±


    After that, he sent Wu Mo a message.


    ¡°Mr. Wu, there¡¯s nothing we can do about it. It¡¯s as fast as I am, and my strength can¡¯t break through its defense at all. Can you help me think of a solution?¡±


    Zhao Liang was helpless, and he could only turn his attention to Wu Mo.


    He knew that Wu Mo was best ating up with unique ideas. Every time he came up with an idea, it would be effective.


    Wu Mo thought about it and gave the safest suggestion.


    ¡°Lure him into our range of attack. When he enters it, kill it with our strongestser weapon!¡±


    Zhao Liang nodded repeatedly as he listened to what Wu Mo said.


    This was undoubtedly the most effective strategy!


    If this did not work, did it mean that there was nothing they could do about the monster with their current technology?


    Therefore, Zhao Liang made use of his acting chops.


    He was going to lure the enemy with his firepower!


    However, Zhao Liang¡¯s n failed. His mission was to lure the monster away, but the monster did not notice him.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Mr. Wu, it¡¯s not falling for my tricks at all. What should I do?¡±


    At this point, Zhao Liang had no other choice. He could only tell Wu Mo everything that had happened.


    Wu Mo thought about it for a moment and turned his gaze to the surveince camera in space. He felt that the monster was quite intelligent.


    It seemed to sense a powerful enemy nearby. After it chased Zhao Liang for a while, it decided to let him go for now.


    Wu Mo had no way to deal with this. Who knew that this monster would be so sinister that they would have a tough time defending themselves?!


    Wu Mo muttered to himself for a moment before he immediately ordered, ¡°In that case, keep attacking and disying your strength. I believe that they¡¯ll definitely fight back!¡±


    When everyone heard what he said, they instantly burst intoughter. Even Zhao Liangughed along.


    He never thought that Mr. Wu would do this. This would eventually lead to the monster¡¯s surrender!


    With his enormous strength, Zhao Liang punched the monster in the abdomen..
