Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As for Project a.s.sistant Zhou Ning, she was quite angry with Wu Mo.
Under Feng Qi’s persuasion, Wu Mo gave up on the idea of further improvement and decided to let the test run as usual.
After he made up his mind, he immediately walked out and stood in front of the three leaders calmly.
“What, you dare to face the test now?” Wei Lan stared at him and asked in a meaningful tone.
“I’m sorry. I feel that there are still some minor flaws in my work. I was thinking of skipping the test and going back to revise it, but the test cannot run on my time. So, I’ve decided to partic.i.p.ate in the test first,” Wu Mo said truthfully.
“What about your work then? Hurry up and take it out.”
Professor Liu did not have a good impression of Wu Mo. He thought that Wu Mo was wasting his time, and he sounded a little impatient next to him.
Wu Mo did not react. Instead, he stretched out his right hand, where he wore the Interspatial Ring, and snapped his fingers lightly.
When Wei Lan saw the silver ring, he suddenly fell into deep thought.
At that moment, white light flashed in front of him, and a starry camouflage suit appeared on the table.
His face lit up slightly.
However, he was surprised by the ring on Wu Mo’s finger. He did not show any interest in the armor on the table.
Seeing this, Zhou Ning immediately took a few steps forward. When she saw the dark greenish-blue, old-fashioned camouflage uniform on the table, she instantly became agitated.
This… What in the world was Wu Mo doing?
The rest had all brought out well-designed armors. At the very least, they had used many advanced technologies and fabrics.
Wu Mo had instead made an old camouflage suit, and it was the kind that was sold everywhere in the clothing district!
“Pfft… Haha.” Lai Hua laughed out loud when he saw Wu Mo’s “masterpiece.”
“Big Brother… is this really called a small flaw?”
Feng Qi was also stunned when he saw it.
He knew that Wu Mo was just a new graduate student, but he thought that Wu Mo still had some strength despite his lack of experience.
Never did he think that Wu Mo would do such a thing to make a fool out of himself.
“This is… too bad!” he said subconsciously.
Right then, Academician Xu and Professor Liu, who were sitting nearby, looked somewhat displeased.
It was a disgrace to the fifth division, especially when such a thing occurred in front of Minister Wei.
It was a complete disgrace!
“Hehe… how interesting.”
Chu Qingyan’s eyelids drooped slightly as he looked at the camouflage uniform on the table and shook his head a little.
At that moment, the entire crowd was silent.
They never saw this coming from Wu Mo.
“You… Don’t tell me you think this mission is a joke?”
Wei Lan’s brows were tightly knitted, and his expression changed for a moment. Then, he stood up and stared at Wu Mo with fiery eyes. His voice was like a glacier, and it was bone-chilling.
It was over… The leader was furious.
Feng Qi and Lai Hua’s necks shrank, and they took a few steps back subconsciously.
“Sir, I forged this armor strictly according to the request. I’m not joking at all.”
Facing overwhelming pressure, Wu Mo looked at Minister Wei calmly, and his tone remained the same.
“Oh? In that case, I’d like to see what your work can do!”
Wei Lan almost laughed from anger. He did not feel any energy fluctuations from the camouflage suit. It was just an ordinary piece of clothing!
“Wu Mo, you’re saying that you made it strictly according to the requirements. Tell me, how can this ordinary material of yours be breathable?!”
Professor Liu could not stand Wu Mo’s stubborn mouth, and he immediately questioned him in a stern voice.
Wu Mo swiftly explained, “Of course. My armor is especially breathable. It feels as if you’re not wearing it. It’s definitely not stuffy.”
As he spoke, he picked up the suit and blew on it. Air currents pa.s.sed through the fabric and blew up all the doc.u.ments on the table.
Everyone instantly frowned.
Lai Hua inevitably cursed in his heart. This guy’s suit was probably not even made of gauze. Even breathable clothes would not be so airy.
Xu Wuyue could not help but sternly ask, “What about the thinness? The cultivators on the front line need to fight for a long time, so the armor or suit mustn’t be too heavy and add to their burden!”
Wu Mo immediately became excited when he heard this. He threw the camouflage suit into the air, and it fluttered down, confusing several team members.
“Academician, my armor is only 800 grams!”
When Feng Qi heard Wu Mo’s answer, the corners of his eyes twitched.
Good heavens, an ordinary set of clothes would definitely not be heavy. It would be a miracle if it weighed half a kilogram.
“Then what about its multiple functions?” Chu Qingyan, who was standing beside the professor, unwittingly asked.
Multiple functions?
When Wu Mo heard his question, he grinned and unfolded the suit, continuing his explanation. “This armor of mine is very multi-functional. Look at this armband, this slot for a tactical pen, and this big pocket on the chest. There’s also magic tape that can be quickly removed. Meanwhile, the pocket on the leg has a drawstring design. Isn’t this multi-functional?”
Everyone was speechless following Wu Mo’s explanation.
It was truly multi-functional!
Although Wu Mo’s camouflage suit met most of the requirements, it was not technically sophisticated.
In that case, he was not needed. They could easily outsource it to a clothing factory and produce 10,000 sets a day. Would Wu Mo have to work hard to develop them?
He was insulting them!
Feng Qi and Lai Hua’s worldview was completely changed. Something like that could be considered combat armor too?
Zhou Ning could not help but hold her forehead. She had previously believed that Wu Mo could produce better work than Chu Qingyan. Now, it seemed that she was still too naive.
Professor Liu’s face was ashen, while Xu Wuyue was so embarra.s.sed that he wanted to dig into his feet.
Was Wu Mo that clueless or was he deliberately pretending to be stupid? His work obviously did not meet the requirements, yet he was able to make sense of it.
When Xu Wuyue thought of Wu Mo, who had been specially recruited after he approved the doc.u.ments, he felt his tooth ache.
Wu Mo was supposed to be a genius who had forged a Divine weapon, but his performance was horrendous. When Xu Wuyue thought about it, he could not stop himself from getting riled up.
He stopped beating around the bust and asked the most crucial question straight away.
“Wu Mo… you mentioned that you forged it according to the requirements, so does this camouflage suit of yours have any stealth attributes?”
As soon as he said that, the people around him began to look interested.
Looking at the suit on the table, they could not help but burst into laughter.
Stealth?
How could this thing provide any concealment?
When Lai Hua heard the word, he immediately chuckled and said, “It’s such an ugly suit. Are you planning to kill those monsters on the battlefield of ten thousand races with laughter?”
“Does it mean that you’ll be concealed as long as all your enemies laugh to death?”
As soon as he said that, Chu Qingyan could not hold it in anymore. He wanted to cackle.
Wu Mo ignored the mocking gazes he saw. He did not intend to pay them any attention.
He contemplated for a moment before he raised his head to meet Wei Lan’s cold gaze. “Sir, I am still very confident about its ability to conceal. Even though the appearance of the armor that I’ve forged does have more room for improvement…”
He picked up the camouflage suit on the table. “…when it comes to stealth, I’ve put in special focus because it’s a mandatory requirement in the doc.u.ments.”
