Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam?

362 The Open-Air Warehouse’s Terrain Transformation

On the second floor of the guest room building, several Special Forces members stood in the corridor for a while and discussed tactical issues regarding the combat test in the afternoon.

After a series of discussions, the four of them quickly reached an agreement on the battle. It did not take long for them to return to their respective lounges.

The armory was not quiet in the afternoon. From time to time, the sound of a truck’s engine could be heard in the distance. It was 200 meters away from Wu Mo’s single dormitory. There was also a factory building under construction, and the ear-piercing sound of electric drills often came from it.

However, Wu Mo, who was sitting at his desk, did not feel disturbed. He was still looking up information about arrays with a serious face.

In the armory’s warehouse, although there were all kinds of strange and large amounts of materials, the collection of books related to forging was extremely shabby.

After he completed improvements on the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, Wu Mo realized that his knowledge of casting and runes was too shallow.

While he had completed his work, he could not neglect his studies. If possible, he wanted to make up for his theoretical knowledge as soon as possible.

He had to master Tier 3 magic arrays and rune techniques as soon as possible.

While Wu Mo was earnestly searching for and integrating the relevant knowledge of magic arrays and runes, the mobile phone on his table suddenly rang.

He glanced at the time on the screen, and it showed that it was already 1.30 pm in the afternoon.

“It’s almost time for the individual combat test. I heard that a lieutenant general would be coming this time. I can’t be late.” Wu Mo stood up from his chair as he muttered to himself.

He quickly turned off his computer, picked up his phone, put on his coat, and left the single dormitory in a hurry.

Wu Mo was full of anticipation for the individual combat test, just like everyone else.

The Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, which could provide the user with all-round attribute enhancement, would go against 12 middle-stage six-star cultivators.

No one knew what kind of chemical reaction would happen between the two sides.

Would the 12 Special Forces members be better, or would Lone Wolf who was driving the maneuver gear break out of the siege? Wu Mo’s heart was full of anticipation.

Although he was very confident in the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear he had developed, the situation on the battlefield was ever-changing. Even he could not guarantee that Lone Wolf would win.

Before long, Wu Mo arrived at Elder Huang’s office. He immediately saw Wei Ge standing in the corridor.

“Wu Mo, you’re here!”

At first, Wei Ge seemed a little depressed, and he had his head lowered as he ruminated on something.

However, when he saw Wu Mo, his face instantly lit up.

“Mhmm… I just arrived. You look so worried. Did something happen?”

Wu Mo nodded. He quickly noticed the strange expression on Wei Ge’s face and asked curiously.

Even though he had been in the armory for two months, he had only met Wei Ge a few times.

However, when he first got there, Wei Ge had taken good care of him. Thus, Wu Mo treated Wei Ge as a good friend.

“Sigh, don’t mention it. When I was arranging lunch, I forgot what Elder Huang told me yesterday. I added food that the lieutenant general didn’t like.” Wei Ge sighed and said guiltily.

“Haha, Elder Huang reprimanded you just because of that?” Wu Mo asked with a smile. He was suddenly curious.

“Yes.”

Wei Ge nodded his head heavily. In his heart, he could not figure it out either. Elder Huang was usually very tolerant and generous to him. Even if he made some minor mistakes at work, he would not be criticized.

“Ahem…”

Wu Mo cleared his throat pretentiously.

After that, he pretended to look at Wei Ge in confusion and asked, “Did you do it on purpose or accidentally?”

Looking at Wu Mo’s face that was asking for a beating, Wei Ge almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

He had thought that Wu Mo was going to comfort him.

Unexpectedly, the guy was actually there to play around.

When Wu Mo noticed that Wei Ge was about to to flip out in the corridor, he immediately laughed and said, “Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. I’ll go in and discuss some things with Elder Huang. See you later.”

After saying that, Wu Mo knocked on the door. Once he heard Elder Huang’s response, he pushed the door open and went in.

Very quickly, the door to Elder Huang’s office was closed again. Looking at the empty spot near the door, Wei Ge could not help but laugh.

“That brat’s an interesting person.”

…

At 1.50 pm in the afternoon…

With Elder Huang’s organization, the individual combat test officially began in the open-air warehouse.

Wu Mo, the three lieutenants, Elder Huang, and the 13 people who were going to take the test had all arrived.

There were dozens of cultivators in charge of security around the open-air warehouse.

The deputy director, Cao Jianzhong, and a few familiar researchers stood nearby. They took out their equipment and prepared to record the test.

Everyone turned their attention to the open-air warehouse, which was surrounded by wire walls and had only one exit.

This open-air warehouse had originally been used to store all kinds of casting materials that would not be affected by exposure to the wind and rain.

However, as the armory continued to develop, more and more workshops were built. The increase in the number of materials increased the armory’s demand for warehouses as well.

Later on, the area grew, and a new type of warehouse that could store all kinds of materials was built.

More importantly, the new warehouse was located at the center of entire armory’s development.

It was less than 400 meters away from the core building, the research facility.

Since then, the original open-air warehouse had been completely abandoned. It was only used to store piles of building materials and forging waste.

It was basically in a state of being abandoned.

If Elder Huang had not chosen the open-air warehouse as the location for the individual combat test…

The place would have sadly been abandoned forever.

After a week of renovation, all the trash in the open-air warehouse was taken away.

Any kind of structure that blocked the line of sight or the flow of battle was also demolished.

So, the entire open-air warehouse had been empty until now, leaving only dozens of long colored containers and some severely weathered canopies.

At present, the open-air warehouse occupied an area of about 2,600 square meters, which was half the size of a football field.

The containers that had been deliberately placed around the area were meant to block the participants’ line of sight and scatter their formation.

It was unlikely that Lone Wolf would be surrounded by 12 Special Forces members not long after he participated in the individual combat test.

Before the test began, the three leaders visited the venue first.

After making sure that there was nothing in the open-air warehouse that would affect the result of the competition, he returned to the entrance in satisfaction.

The open-air warehouse was vast and had enough space to move around. Moreover, because of the long containers, the participants could also utilize the element of obstruction in battle and accomplish more things.
