In his opinion, the most important part of the bet was to hand over all the materials in the chamber of commerce.
If he could get all of Unique Treasure Hall’s materials, he would be able to quickly solve his debt problem. He might even be able to make up for all the missing materials for Mjolnir. It was simply killing two birds with one stone!
After he realized that, Wu Mo immediately turned to Gao Yue and said in a low voice, “Manager Gao, I can help you win this compet.i.tion, but I want 80% of the materials in the end. How about it?”
Seeing Wu Mo’s confident look, the panic in Gao Yue’s heart instantly disappeared…
He took a deep breath and seriously said, “Mr. Wu, I believe that you can defeat those people from Unique Treasure Hall.”
“When the time comes, not to mention 80%, we will give you all the materials without holding anything back. On top of that, you can choose any of the precious materials in Treasure Pavilion. After all, you would have helped us solve such a big problem, and we wouldn’t be able to thank you enough!”
Gao Yue did not know why he trusted Wu Mo so much. It could have been a subconscious judgment, or it could have been influenced by Wu Mo’s confidence. In any case, he had high hopes that Wu Mo could win the compet.i.tion.
Gao Yue was not a short-sighted person, so he had no intention of fighting over the materials.
After all, if they actually won, Unique Treasure Hall’s market shares would be enough to bring them huge profits.
In the past, he had climbed up step by step from being a delivery man to being the store manager in Treasure Pavilion. He had relied on his business ac.u.men and sincerity in treating others!
Previously, he had already asked Wu Mo to become Treasure Pavilion’s special consultant. Therefore, he believed that this time, Wu Mo had the ability to forge defensive equipment that was stronger than the Soft Golden Silk Armor!
When Manager Gao Yue said that, the staff members of Treasure Pavilion were shocked beyond words.
Yu Qing, who had received Wu Mo previously, was especially shocked, so much so that she covered her mouth. It was hard for her to imagine that it was only Mr. Wu’s third visit to Treasure Pavilion. He had already gained the store manager’s trust.
That young man would surely be somebody in the future!
Their surroundings gradually quieted down. After Wu Mo received a clear answer, he immediately agreed.
This bet was now effective with many media outlets acting as witnesses.
Clap, clap, clap!
At that moment, Wei Ying clapped his hands with a face full of admiration. At the same time, he praised Wu Mo, “Young friend, you’re quick to speak. You are truly a dragon among men. I admire your courage very much. I hope that you’ll be able to produce good results in a week.
“However, I still have to explain the rules of the compet.i.tion to you. This time, we will be competing with defensive equipment. In order to ensure the effectiveness of the defensive equipment, the blacksmiths will have to wear the defensive equipment that they have forged. Additionally, they will have to endure a combat test initiated by the other party.”
Wei Ying had an inexplicable smile on his face. As he leisurely strolled forward, he said, “The rules of the compet.i.tion are that whoever falls first will lose. Do you understand everything so far?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the several blacksmiths behind him all smiled to add insult to injury. After all, they forged the Soft Golden Silk Armor, and no one knew its specific defensive effects better than them.
Since they understood the powerful effects of the Soft Golden Silk Armor, they felt that this guy would be a complete mess by the end.
At that time, he might even die in the arena, and they would take Treasure Pavilion. There was simply no such thing as good luck in the world, and everything fell into place more smoothly than they had imagined.
Even Wei Jiaming had a sinister smile on his face.
At this time, the surrounding spectators were starting to look forward to the battle between the two large chambers of commerce. It would certainly be exciting a week later.
They would be able to clearly see how powerful the effects of Premium-grade equipment could be after a week!
“Don’t worry. I won’t let you down.”
Wu Mo lightly brushed his fingers over his silver ring, and the smile on his face grew more radiant.
Right then, the silver ring in his possession already contained a weapon that could break through the Soft Golden Silk Armor’s defense. It was the component that he had just refined as the hammer’s handle, the Armor-piercing Short Staff.
However, now was not the time to show off. He was planning to wait for a week before he defeated his opponent in front of everyone!
That way, he would be able to plunder Unique Treasure Hall’s materials!
“Alright, we’ll meet here in a week’s time. I hope you can still be as stubborn when the time comes!”
Wei Ying snorted coldly, then waved his hand and left with the rest of Unique Treasure Hall’s people.
Wei Jiaming and his butler entered a silver car and promptly departed, leaving behind the reluctant onlookers.
Wu Mo looked up at the disappearing figures from Unique Treasure Hall, and his heart was filled with antic.i.p.ation.
He was looking forward to the scene of him collecting their materials. He wanted to see what precious items they had.
“Mr. Wu, thank you so much for this.”
At that moment, Manager Gao’s voice rang out behind him. Wu Mo immediately pushed his thoughts away and helped the bowing manager up.
“Manager Gao, there’s no need to be too formal with me. I’ve received plenty of benefits from Treasure Pavilion too. We’re in a collaborative relationship, aren’t we?” Wu Mo patted Gao Yue’s arm and said with a smile.
“You’re right, Mr. Wu.”
Gao Yue immediately straightened his back, but when he thought about how Mr. Wu would need the right materials to forge equipment, he said, “Mr. Wu, if you need anything now, you can tell me straight away. We’ll definitely do our best to prepare the materials for you.”
In Gao Yue’s eyes, if he wanted to be victorious in this compet.i.tion, he would need at least Premium-grade defensive equipment, as well as a Rare-grade weapon. Only then would they win the battle.
All of these equipment needed to be forged. Although Mr. Wu was strong, he was just a student of the Divine Arms Academy. He would not have that much money to buy materials.
Hearing Gao Yue’s words, Wu Mo instantly fell silent and started thinking.
It did not take long for an idea to form in his mind.
Before Wu Mo arrived on the blue planet, he had been a full-on gamer. Moreover, he had read online novels for more than five years, so his imagination had expanded.
The need for defensive equipment was clear in his present battle, so he had a general direction for forging.
He quickly told Manager Gao about several materials and requested that Treasure Pavilion distribute the rest after he was done forging.
Just like that, he took a few rare materials from Treasure Pavilion and walked toward the academy.
Once they saw Wu Mo leave, the people in Treasure Pavilion went to the manager’s side and began to ask him questions.
“Gao Yue, do you really have confidence in this young man?”
Even one of the appraisers, an old man, could not help but walk to the manager’s side and question him with a worried expression.
