Chapter 122: Materials Collected, Ready to Forge!

“Academician Xu, we have completed the improved framework for the project and are currently discussing ideas for the next step.”

“Yes, we’ll be able to forge a brand new battle armor in ten days at most!”

The few students reported their current research results with excitement on their faces.

Academician Xu nodded. He looked around and suddenly frowned.

“Zhou Ning, why haven’t I seen Wu Mo? Where did he go?!”

Academician Xu asked in a doubtful tone after he turned his head to look at Zhou Ning.

Among the people on the a.s.sault team, he had been looking forward to Wu Mo’s work the most. However, he had not seen him for three days.

As time pa.s.sed, doubts began to arise in his heart.

Zhou Ning did not dare be negligent, so she promptly told him the truth. “Academician Xu, Wu Mo just sent me a message saying that he can’t make it for the time being.

“When he first accepted the project, Wu Mo spent most of his time in his dormitory in seclusion. Occasionally, he would go to the internal reference room to borrow books. Recently, he’s been going to the back mountain every day. He has basically never partic.i.p.ated in the project meetings.”

Zhou Ning roughly explained Wu Mo’s schedule in the Research Department, and Academician Xu’s frown deepened.

When the surrounding graduate students heard this, they were a little confused too.

What exactly was this guy called Wu Mo up to?

They had agreed that he would go into seclusion to study up on the technical aspects. Why was he going on a trip every day?

At that thought, Zhang Yuan, who had always been hostile toward Wu Mo, immediately said, “Do you even need to think about it? Wu Mo must have tried to come up with something in the past. However, as his research deepened, he realized that his strength was insufficient. If he can’t come up with any results, his state of mind will probably collapse, so he’s just going out to relax!”

“Um… Who knows? Wu Mo might have given up. He has never spoken in the group chat before. He might be worn out and might have gone on a sightseeing trip.” Lai Hua touched his chin and a.n.a.lyzed.

Hearing their a.n.a.lysis, the other members felt that it made sense.

If Wu Mo had found something, would he have been like a quiet gourd and remained silent for a long time?

He must have not been able to come up with an improved method. He did not even have a prototype, which was why he deliberately did not partic.i.p.ate in the meeting.

Everyone discussed and speculated on the reason for Wu Mo’s absence from the meeting.

Even Xu Wuyue was a little confused about Wu Mo’s plans!

“Academician Xu, don’t worry. Although Wu Mo is a little antisocial, he definitely won’t leave the commission alone and go out to play.”

“While we still don’t know what he’s planning, he must have his own reasons for doing so. It’s not time yet. Let’s give him more time.”

Zhou Ning took two steps forward and clarified the situation to Academician Xu. Her tone was certain as if she believed that Wu Mo would definitely be able to produce a well-improved armor.

Xu Wuyue nodded slightly. “Alright, there are still more than 10 days before the end of the mission. Make the most of your time and try your best to forge the armor and do all the tests before your superiors arrive.”

He looked out of the window at the mountain range in the distance. After a moment, he turned around and left the hall.

After Academician Xu left, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

They were a little puzzled as to why Zhou Ning was speaking up for Wu Mo.

He was just a newcomer who had recently arrived in the Research Department. Logically speaking, he should not have the ability to complete the modification of armor on his own. Why did Zhou Ning trust him so much?

They did not know the answer to these questions.

“Thank you for making progress on the modification project. If you need to test your prototype later, you can contact me at any time.”

Zhou Ning spoke with a smile and departed from the research building.

The four members were left to look at each other in dismay.

“Wu Mo is really lucky to get Academician Xu and Zhou Ning’s attention,” Lai said with a smile.

“Ha… Even so, what’s the use? When the time comes to submit the improved armor, Academician Xu will definitely be disappointed if he doesn’t come up with satisfactory work.” Zhang Yuan used the reflection of the smooth wall to tidy his hair and spoke in a disdainful tone.

Feng Qi crossed his arms as he stood by the window and thoughtfully said, “Tsk… I don’t think it’s that simple. Wu Mo isn’t a fool. Doesn’t he know the importance of the mission? I think he’s holding some big trick up his sleeve.”

“Alright, let’s go home. I have an inspiration. I’ll go to the laboratory to modify the armor’s frame. Do you want to come with me?”

Chu Qingyan began to walk around impatiently.

“Go on, go on. I’ll follow you.”

Everyone then dispersed. The hall on the seventh floor of the research building suddenly fell into silence.

The sun was warm outside the window, and the trees were swaying comfortably in the sunlight.

Their leaves extended out, and the green gra.s.s took away some of the fatigue in people’s eyes.

Wu Mo stood on the mountain and looked down at the sea of trees. He could not help but sigh.

“I’ve finally gathered all the materials. After so many days, I’m so tanned.”

He lowered his head and looked at his wheat-colored arms. Compared with the ivory tone under his sleeves, it was extremely discordant.

[Host, since the commission will end in 14 days, please forge the Invisibility Armor as soon as possible.]

Wu Mo placed the last pair of glowing wings into his Interspatial Ring, and the system’s voice immediately echoed in his mind.

“I didn’t expect so many days to pa.s.s in a flash. It’s time to start forging. My hands are a little rusty.”

As he contemplated, his mind began to sink, prepared to enter the forging s.p.a.ce.

However, on second thought, if his mind entered the s.p.a.ce and his body remained on the mountain, would he encounter any danger?

Recognizing the problem, Wu Mo suppressed the antic.i.p.ation in his heart and quickly walked down the mountain.

With the help of shoes that could help him speed up, it took him less than 10 minutes to go down the mountain.

After Wu Mo went down the back mountain, he rushed to his villa.

On the way, he also met many researchers who were discussing the project.

The second he got home, Wu Mo closed the courtyard door and immediately headed to his bedroom.

After he drew the curtains close, he closed his eyes and calmed his mind.

Hu…

Following an inexplicable sound, all of Wu Mo’s senses were instantly cut off.

When he opened his eyes skillfully, there was already chaotic color in front of him.

Dark purple and black radiance interweaved, forming a halo that seemed like the beginning of the universe. It was quite mysterious.

However, Wu Mo could only move around 100 meters around the workbench. If he stepped too far away, he would lose his reference object and get lost in the pure darkness.

He approached the white workbench.

Then, with a slight movement of his right hand, rows of materials immediately appeared on the workbench.

As he looked at the layers of faint light wings, the purple light converged and almost dyed the table purple. It was so beautiful that he could not describe it with words.

He opened up the forging paper that he had prepared earlier.

He lifted the brush and lightly drew the first stroke on the slightly yellowed paper.
