Chapter 278 - 278 Newcomer King (1)
278 Newcomer King (1)
The last piece of equipment that a master blacksmith evaluated as excellent was the Wanderer’s Boots.
It was beyond everyone’s expectations.
Although the ability to float and even fly had long been realized by modern technology.
However, a pair of small boots could achieve the same effect of floating in the air. It was surprisingly refreshing.
It should be known that in the 100 years of smithing history, many pieces of equipment had reached a level of unparalleled effect.
Basic effects such as slow, stun, speed increase, and knock back had already been overused by blacksmiths.
Damage caused could be converted into spirit energy, and the high-level effects of healing wounds and aura concealment had also appeared many times.
The highest level of damage immunity, invisibility, true damage, and a large number of other equipment effects could only be found in Legendary or above equipment.
As for floating, it was so unpopular in the field of forging that it almost never appeared.
It was for this reason that even many six-star blacksmiths were shocked at how the blacksmith had been covering up the floating function in front of everyone.
The three master blacksmiths also looked at him in a new light. They secretly remembered his name and planned to entrust him with important tasks in the future.
In more than an hour, the cultivators’ views had been refreshed.
Wu Mo was extremely surprised too.
Although the White River province’s technology and the field of forging were rather backward, he could see that the development of forging technology was much better than he had imagined. This was based on the dozens of blacksmiths who had appeared before him.
He was especially excited after seeing the three pieces of equipment with different effects.
When he saw the Wanderer’s Boots, his mind was filled with thoughts of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.
He hoped to complete it before the final national exchange conference.
“Tsk tsk, this exhibition is really exciting. I didn’t expect there to be so many genius blacksmiths in other cities,” Bald Eagle praised from the bottom of his heart.
The shock and pa.s.sion in his heart gave him the urge to quit his current job and become a blacksmith again.
Many of the soldiers and leaders present were also full of praise for the three blacksmiths who had received an excellent evaluation. Some even planned to contact them in private to form connections in advance.
However, there were still some people in the audience who acted like they were above it all.
Even when they saw the three pieces of excellent equipment, they were not very excited. Instead, they looked at the audience, as if they were looking forward to something else.
“Have these people not seen the world? It’s just a few decent pieces of equipment. Is there a need to be so excited?”
They watched as the people around them continued to discuss and even begin to guess which of the three would win and become the most likely blacksmith to partic.i.p.ate in the summit.
Bai Li, the director of the Hunter Bureau, looked puzzled.
Chu Li, who was at the side, frowned slightly. He was thinking about Wu Mo’s position and why he had yet to appear.
Of course, he did not think that the three excellent works were bad. It was just that he had experienced growth some time ago and had seen Wu Mo cut open a military vehicle with a lightsaber. Otherwise, he would probably be like the others now, excited and thinking that he had witnessed the birth of some amazing equipment.
Not only did he not find them very powerful, but he even wanted to laugh.
On the second floor, Lieutenant General Lu Yuansheng was holding a cup of coffee and looking down through the gla.s.s.
“Lord Lu, I promise you that there will be more interesting equipment in the future. There are many interesting young blacksmiths in this exhibition,” on the other side of the table, a gray-haired old man in a formal suit said with a smile.
“…There’s more than half of the partic.i.p.ants left before the exhibition ends. I’m not in a hurry.”
Lu Yuansheng smiled and gently blew on the hot coffee in his cup. The rising steam surrounded him and quickly disappeared.
“Next, the 16th blacksmith to show his work, is Gu Hongzhuo from the Seventh Research Department.
In the corner of the stage, the host read out the name of this slightly famous person.
Many people in the audience immediately became excited when they heard the name.
“The ‘Newcomer King’ from the Seventh Research Department is next? I’m not sleepy anymore.”
“Gu Hongzhuo is finally going to put on a show. It looks like the powerful blacksmiths are all hidden for later.”
“The small multi-purpose weapon maintenance kit that he developed last time has been ma.s.s-produced on a small scale, and he has quite a number of achievements. It seems that the second batch is also being tested. I wonder, what kind of surprise he will bring us this time?”
Many soldiers had heard of him before. When they heard that he was about to go on stage to display his latest work, they were all excited.
“F*ck, a bunch of ignorant people,” Bai Li said disdainfully when he saw them.
‘A maintenance kit? This Gu Hongzhuo is just a little sc*mbag in front of Wu Mo,’ he said in his heart.
Chu Li, on the other hand, was chuckling at the side. He was looking forward to seeing the reaction of these soldiers who had never seen anything good before, once they saw the Invisibility Armor and the Spirit Wave Sword.
There was a commotion in the venue. The three master blacksmiths were surprised to see this.
“It seems that the little guy who’s going next is quite capable. He also has a fan base. Yuan Gang, as the deputy commander, you should know this young man called Gu Hongzhuo, right?”
Song Yi was a little curious, and he immediately turned his head to ask.
Yuan Gang nodded with a smile. “The maintenance kit he forged before was indeed tested in our district, and it was said to be not bad
“This time, he should be able to bring a more perfect product.”
Everyone’s attention was on Gu Hongzhuo, who was wearing a black smithing robe, as he slowly walked up the stage.
He was carrying a black box in his hand. It looked heavy, but it was only the size of an ordinary safe.
He walked to the center of the exhibition stage with steady steps, then bowed slightly to the three master blacksmiths.
Many people turned their eyes to the safe, and their expectations rose to the extreme.
“He’s so flashy, and his work is even stored in a safe. It’s definitely useless.”
Bald Eagle pouted. He did not have a good impression of the guy called Gu Hongzhuo at all.
“Not necessarily. He has experience in developing and producing products in ma.s.s production. The things he develops later will definitely be extraordinary. I think he might become one of Wu Mo’s strong compet.i.tors.”
Lone Wolf, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up. He had seemingly discovered something and insisted that Gu Hongzhuo had some real skills.
“…Whose side are you on?”
Bald Eagle was a little unhappy. The battle was just around the corner. Who would boost the enemy’s morale and diminish their own?
Seeing that the two of them were about to start a fight, the helpless Wu Mo immediately said, “He’s going to show his work now. As for whether he’s good or not, won’t we be able to see it soon?”
