Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam?

344 Farewell to Lone Wolf

Now that the test was coming to an end, all kinds of data reports were uploaded to the military system along with video footage.

Next, they only needed to wait for the military’s reply.

Of course, the end of the test also meant that Lone Wolf’s experience with the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear had come to an end.

“I know you’re reluctant, but the functions of the first Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear aren’t perfect. This test has also exposed many problems with the gear, and I’ll have to modify it in the future,” Wu Mo immediately said with a serious face when he saw Lone Wolf’s reluctant expression.

“But don’t worry, I’ll complete these improvements within a month. Once I’m done, I’ll definitely make sure that you’re the first person in White River to be equipped with a Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear. How about it?”

Lone Wolf lowered his head and touched the surface of the exoskeleton armor, which had some potholes. His heart was full of regret and reluctance.

However, after hearing Wu Mo’s promise, a knowing smile immediately appeared on his face.

“It’s fine. I still remember the principle of putting the big picture above all else. I’m just not used to being without it.”

As he spoke, Lone Wolf gently pressed the controller with his hand that was embedded in the armor.

In the next second, a buzzing sound came from inside the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear. Then, Lone Wolf felt his whole body shake. The armor on his abdomen, chest, thighs, and other parts of his body seemed to be attracted by a special energy, and they actually peeled off from his body.

He returned to the white platform that Wu Mo had prepared.

The modules were tightly attached to each other, and together with the platform, they formed a cube about 60 centimeters in length, width, and height. At first glance, it looked a little like a small washing machine.

Everyone was in disbelief when they witnessed this.

How could that huge, two-meter-tall armor fold and shrink to such a size in the blink of an eye?

At the same time, the calmness, litheness, and superhuman computing power disappeared from Lone Wolf’s body. He was in a trance for a moment, and he was not quite used to it.

In the test field, Wu Mo snapped his fingers and immediately put the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear into his Interspatial Ring. Then, he walked forward and helped Lone Wolf put on his artificial limb.

The feeling of being beaten back to reality from a beautiful dream made Lone Wolf smile bitterly.

Earlier on, he had thought of the new-generation artificial limb as a good experience. At least the surface area of contact did not cause him much discomfort.

However, after experiencing the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear developed by Wu Mo, he found that the artificial limb simply lacked any kind of technological research.

“It’s easy to go from frugal to luxurious but difficult to go from luxurious to frugal. I’m no longer used to artificial limbs. If I don’t get to use the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear in the future, I’ll hold you responsible.”

Sighing, Lone Wolf stood up from the chair again. He looked at Wu Mo’s harmless and handsome face and spoke with feigned anger.

“Respected Lord Lone Wolf, I will remember your instructions and do my best.”

Wu Mo chuckled and immediately winked.

“Alright, stop rambling. Let’s go. I’m so hungry that I’m dizzy.”

Lone Wolf was not in the mood to joke with Wu Mo anymore. He swiftly walked out of the test building.

Wu Mo quickly followed him, but before he left, he glanced at Elder Huang, who was dealing with related matters. The latter gave him a reassuring look, so both Wu Mo and Lone Wolf left the test building together.

On the way to the cafeteria, Lone Wolf seemed worried, and he asked Wu Mo about the modification plan in detail.

Wu Mo could not resist Lone Wolf’s interrogation and could only tell him the improvement idea that had not yet been formed.

After Lone Wolf understood everything, he nodded in satisfaction.

He was extremely satisfied with the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, and he hoped in his heart that he would get to use the device as soon as possible.

This was because the Three-dimensional Maneuvering Gear not only allowed him to return to the battlefield with an incomplete body, but it also gave him a greater combat experience and an indescribable feeling of freedom.

Although he was getting impatient, he was still willing to continue waiting.

After all, as the saying goes, the good things in life were worth waiting for. As long as Wu Mo’s Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear could be mass produced to help those disabled cultivators, it would not be a big deal for him to play around for a few days before he experienced it again.

Seven or eight minutes later, the two of them arrived at the cafeteria.

Although it was not their normal mealtime, the two of them still enjoyed a lot of delicious food.

Among them were the big dumplings that Lone Wolf had been thinking about.

This farewell “lunch” lasted for about 20 minutes. During this time, Wu Mo asked him about Bald Eagle’s current situation.

Various things had happened, and their friendship had grown much deeper with time.

The two of them sat in a corner of the dining area in the clean and tidy cafeteria. They talked and laughed about the recent events, barely attracting the attention of others.

Faint white smoke rose from the food on the table, and the bright light above their heads made the atmosphere more relaxed and lively.

“Alright, it’s about time. I should go.”

Lone Wolf picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth as he spoke with a satisfied look.

“Okay… I’ll send you off.” Wu Mo stood up and said.

“Don’t. Time is of the essence right now. You don’t have the time to do such a thing. It’s more important to quickly fix the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.”

Lone Wolf immediately waved his hand and refused.

He had asked Wu Mo to accompany him for a meal, but the delay of 20 minutes was already enough to stress him out.

The sky outside the window was about to turn dark. If they delayed any longer, how could Wu Mo continue his research at night?

Therefore, Lone Wolf flatly refused Wu Mo’s sendoff. After waving his hand, the two parted at the cafeteria’s entrance.

Wu Mo could not help but laugh as he watched Lone Wolf hurry off with light steps.

A moment later, he took a deep breath and felt reinvigorated.

Just because the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear’s prototype had been developed, it did not mean that his work was over.

On the contrary, his subsequent workload might be even more than before.

First of all, he had to go back and explain the situation to Elder Huang. He had to temporarily stop his quality-control work in the mass production workshop to make time for the subsequent improvement work.

Second of all, he needed to use more of the research facility’s equipment, which required Elder Huang’s approval.

Thinking of this, Wu Mo could not help but pick up his pace. There were less than 40 days left until the new year.

He also had to set aside a few days to spend New Year’s with his parents and sister.

This meant that Wu Mo needed to complete the improvements within a month. Only then could he smoothly participate in the exchange conference held by the Nine Provinces at the end of the year.

As for the recommendation letter and application, he believed that Liao Dongcheng and Academician Xu would help him handle them.
