Chapter 421 - 421 Injury-Proof Armor
421 Injury-Proof Armor
Although Lin Xiangyun and the other big shots pretended to be calm in the monitoring room, their trembling bodies and excited eyes betrayed their true feelings.
“This is a transformation technique from the transcendent system. I’ve seen the foreign races use it before on the front lines. More than 10 years ago, I saw them turn equipment the size of a fist into a siege weapon that was more than 10 meters tall. However, no matter how hard we tried, we couldn’t figure it out. Now, with this equipment as a reference, we can master the art of transformation too!”
They were incredibly excited. The range of application of this extraordinary foundation was too wide. As long as they grasped it, it would be very important to the entire human race.
“Hurry, go to Wu Mo’s room now and ask him to bring the equipment over. I want to consult him!”
Wu Mo did not expect to attract the attention of Lin Xiangyun and the others. They even ignored the rules of the compet.i.tion and asked him to explain the underground shuttle’s zooming technique.
Although he wanted to save time, he could not refuse in this situation.
Hence, he followed the staff to the room where Lin Xiangyun and the others were. He glanced at the surveillance screen on the opposite wall, then turned to look at the four big shots who were staring at him.
“Wu Mo’s here, come over quickly!” Gu Shan stood up and greeted him warmly.
Wu Mo knew what these people were thinking about, so he was not nervous. He walked over calmly and said, “I know what you’re thinking, Masters. This is a booklet about zooming technology that I’ve prepared long ago. It details the implementation process of the relevant technology and the principles of some extraordinary systems.”
As he spoke, he took out a small booklet and handed it to Gu Shan.
“Haha, good, good, good! Little Wu, you’ve solved a big problem for us! If this technology can be popularized, it will be of great significance to the entire Nine Provinces and the entire human race.”
Gu Shan was smiling like a chrysanthemum, and he was extremely satisfied.
Lin Xiangyun was too ashamed to look at Gu Shan’s shameless behavior. He waved at Wu Mo and said, “Although the final result has not been announced, if nothing unexpected happens, you will be the champion of this compet.i.tion. After all, whether it’s your contribution, the significance of your equipment, the technical content, or even its function, it’s well-deserved in all aspects. No one can say anything wrong about it!”
“Thank you for your affirmation, Master Blacksmith. I will continue to work hard! However, I’ve been working hard for the past two days. If there’s nothing else, I’d like to go back and rest first. After the compet.i.tion is over, I’ll explain it to you in detail!”
When they heard this, they looked at Wu Mo’s bloodshot eyes and tired face. They realized that they had been a little inappropriate.
“Sigh, I was too excited and anxious just now. How about you go back and rest first? After the championship is over, we’ll talk about technical matters!”
“Thank you for your understanding, Masters!”
Wu Mo secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that the masters would catch him and not let him go. That would not be good.
After all, the few judges were all highly respected masters. If he directly refused, it would make people feel that he was not respectful enough and even seemed to be too arrogant.
Wu Mo returned to his smithing room and lay on his bed. He closed his eyes and entered the Divine Forging s.p.a.ce.
After entering the s.p.a.ce, he did not immediately start forging equipment. Instead, he fell into a deep sleep. He slept for nearly 20 hours before waking up.
Such conscious sleep allowed one’s mental state to recover quickly, but the body in reality could not be affected. It still needed more time to rest.
After Wu Mo’s higher consciousness body woke up in the s.p.a.ce, he immediately began to prepare materials and forge equipment.
He did not research new equipment. Instead, he directly forged a set of equipment for Xu Wanqing and the other three. This included Frost Star, the Speed-boosting Combat Boots, the Tenacious Battle Sword, and so on. He also forged five sets of injury-proof armor.
Through the creation of the underground shuttle, he had made a lot of breakthroughs and progress in the field of restriction arrays. The injury-proof armor, a Divine armor that he had originally wanted to invest some time in, had been developed just like that.
Wu Mo made five sets in one go. He wore one set himself and gave the remaining four sets to Xu Wanqing and the others.
The materials needed to forge these equipment were astronomical. Fortunately, he believed that the four of them would definitely not be stingy with this money.
Perhaps it would be more in line with his wishes if they bartered with more precious materials.
He spent 10 days in this s.p.a.ce.
When he came out again, the second round had already ended. All the partic.i.p.ants had already left their rooms and were interacting with each other. They were waiting for the results of the judging.
Not long after, Xu Wanqing and the other three arrived together.
However, the four of them did not look too good. When they saw Wu Mo open the door, the first thing they said was, “That Chu Qingyan is really arrogant. He didn’t see you just now, but he actually mocked you in front of countless people. He even asked us to remind you not to forget about your bet later!”
Xu Wanqing was furious.
Wu Mo smiled. “You still don’t understand. That guy wants to use this opportunity to attract more compet.i.tors to watch. Only then can he perfectly achieve his goal. After all, if it’s really as we’ve guessed, then our blacksmiths are a thorn in the side of the foreign races. To be able to kill such a large number of them is definitely more worthwhile than killing hundreds of thousands of our soldiers on the battlefield.”
“It’s precisely because we understand this guy’s plan that we’re even angrier!” Xu Wanqing said furiously. When did the Nine Provinces let him down? He actually wanted to betray his country and his race. It was simply unimaginable! Even if the foreign races can give him some benefits, the risks are simply not proportional. What is he after?”
“Hmph, it’s hard to say!” Gan Yun said with a dark face. I heard that this guy likes to enjoy life very much, and his desires, as well as ambitions, are very big. However, he lacks ability and is jealous of talent. Such a person won’t be able to go far by normal means. Naturally, he will want to resort to crooked ways!”
Liu Ze added, “I guess that’s not the only reason. After all, betraying a race and a country is something that no one with a normal IQ would do unless it was absolutely necessary. Since he has made such a decision, then either something has fallen into the hands of the foreign races, or he has completely controlled them. There is no way out, and he can only walk down this path until the end!”
“The guy attracted so much attention just now,” Chen Qingbai said. “I’m sure something big will happen soon. Once something goes wrong, it won’t just be a matter of death. No one can bear this responsibility. Are you sure you don’t want to report this to the higher-ups?”
