Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam?

With that thought, the plan in Wu Mo's heart became clearer.

He sat up from the recliner and stretched, the bones all over his body crackling.

"I've already read most of this book. It's time to put it into practice."

As he spoke, he picked up the thick notebook and walked into his bedroom on the second floor.

Closing the door and drawing the curtains, he calmed his mind and slowly entered the Divine-grade Forging Space.

He was prepared to apply some of the techniques he had learned earlier to actual combat.

...

The next morning, Academician Xu and the other professors all arrived at the fifth Research Academy's main entrance. They were chatting about work in twos and threes.

It was as if they were waiting for some important person.

On the other side of Jingdu's highway, a row of green and domineering military vehicles had appeared on the usually empty emergency lane.

There was an off-road vehicle that could isolate most spirit energy attacks at the center of the row.

In the vehicle, Liao Dongcheng, who was in charge of military research and development in the southeast, was currently sitting in the back seat, resting with his eyes closed.

He gave off a fierce aura as his back was straight, and his face looked like it had been cut by a knife and ax.

The surrounding officers who were escorting all had serious expressions on their faces. They dared not be the slightest bit negligent.

It was just that they were all rather surprised. Brigadier General Liao was not on the front line to oversee the overall situation of military research and development. Why had he come to Jingdu base city?

However, Liao Dongcheng was tight-lipped, and he cared very much about military discipline, so he would certainly not tell reveal anything to them.

It was a top-secret project that he had personally set up. He had to go to the fifth Research Department to understand the matter clearly.

He slowly opened his eyes and looked out the window. At that moment, rows of military vehicles were moving at a constant speed, occupying half of the highway.

Such a large lineup naturally drew the attention of countless people.

Many car owners who were stuck on the highway all got out of their cars and took out their phones to take videos. They then posted the rare scene on a video-sharing website.

As for official agencies that caught wind of the situation after seeing what looked like people from the military arrive in the capital, they all spun into action one after another. They began to clean up any irregularities, thinking that the people from the military were from the Discipline Inspection Commission.

Even if they were beaten to death, they would never have thought that a brigadier general, who was surrounded by many military vehicles, was actually doing this for a young man in his twenties.

...

At 10.00 am, the military vehicles arrived at the fifth Research Department in an imposing manner.

Academician Xu, as well as the group of high-ranking professors, had already received the news and made preparations. They immediately welcomed the military vehicles into the Research Department.

Looking at the military vehicles with colorful patterns, the old professors who had devoted half their lives to forging Divine weapons had excited expressions on their faces. They thought that the brigadier general was there to award someone a medal.

Among the people, only Academician Xu and Professor Liu knew that the brigadier general was there for the Invisibility Armor's improvement project.

Thud!

Liao Dongcheng, who was wearing military boots, got down from his vehicle.

He swept his gaze over his surroundings, directly filtering out the senior researchers and some professors.

Finally, his gaze stopped on Academician Xu and Professor Liu.

Both of them were the core figures of the fifth Research Department, and their actual power was comparable to that of the president.

"General Liao, you've endured such a long journey to get here. Thank you for your hard work!"

Academician Xu and Professor Liu immediately cupped their hands and greeted him respectfully.

Many senior researchers and professors followed suit.

At the same time, they stole curious glances, wanting to see who would be awarded the medal.

Liao Dongcheng waved at the crowd and went up to Academician Xu.

A few adjutants who were accompanying him immediately followed, constantly maintaining his safety.

"Let's go. Bring me to the researcher who developed the Invisibility Armor."

Academician Xu promptly nodded in agreement. stepped forward to lead the way, and Liao Dongcheng left with him as many senior researchers looked at him in astonishment.

The scene stunned plenty of people.

Was Brigadier General Liao not here to award a medal to one of them?

Also, what Invisibility Armor was he talking about exactly?

Those two questions instantly appeared in everyone's mind. Even the recently-promoted professors were somewhat confused.

Under normal circumstances, generals in the war zone were not allowed to leave the war zone at will.

Even the R&D staff behind the scenes had to follow the same rule.

Therefore, when they learned that Brigadier General Liao from the southeastern war zone was coming to the fifth Research Department, everyone subconsciously thought that he was there to bestow someone with a medal.

That was because an official from the war zone would only appear during an award ceremony or major commendation.

However, Brigadier General Liao left with Academician Xu right after he reached the Research Department. It did not seem like he was there to handle those two matters.

After all, all the Research Department's senior personnel had already arrived. The other graduate students or ordinary researchers had no business being there.

Could it be that Brigadier General Liao was not there for them but some unknown researcher?

That would be big trouble.

At that thought, everyone immediately started discussing.

They wanted to know who was such a threat and what kind of contribution had this person made to achieve a technological breakthrough. It even brought Brigadier General Liao, who was hundreds of kilometers away.

"Forget it. Everyone, disperse. It seems that Brigadier General Liao isn't here for us at all," Professor Tan said in the crowd. Then, he turned around and walked toward the research building not far away.

"Hey... do you know anything about the Invisibility Armor General Liao mentioned? I've never heard of it."

"Who knows? Could it be a Level B commission that was improved yesterday?"

"Hmm, not necessarily. Even if some of the teams improved it well, it would not be enough to attract the brigadier general. General Liao is a big shot in military research and development. He has seen all kinds of equipment before."

The crowd discussed for a long time but still found no answer. Soon, they all scattered.

​ On the other side, Xu Wuyue led General Liao toward Wu Mo's dormitory villa.

A group of military vehicles followed them from behind. The passing researchers were all shocked by the scene. If they had not known better, they would have thought that a certain professor was being problematic and the military had sent people over to arrest him.

The vast and mighty vehicles passed through the asphalt road filled with the sounds of birds chirping and the fragrance of flowers. Soon, they arrived at Wu Mo's villa.

The military vehicles parked nearby, almost surrounding the entire villa.

The roar of the engine gave Wu Mo, who was looking for information, a fright. He ran out of the living room in a hurry. When he saw more than 10 military vehicles parked outside the courtyard door, he was completely stunned.

At that moment, he searched through his memories of the past few years. After making sure that he had not done anything bad, he carefully opened the courtyard door and walked out.

When Wu Mo stepped out of the door, he immediately saw Academician Xu, who was walking at the front of the crowd. He was a little dumbfounded. What happened this early in the morning? Why was the academician creating such a big fuss?
