Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam?

429 Award Ceremony

In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.

Although Wu Mo’s cultivation progress in the Divine Forging Space was extremely fast, he had only stabilized his four-star strength.

When he walked out of the training room feeling refreshed, he saw a few men in military uniforms salute him with respect.

“Lieutenant Wu, have you completed your cultivation?” thesecond lieutenant stepped forward and asked respectfully.

“Yes!”

Wu Mo nodded, although he did not understand what the other party meant.

“What’s the matter?” he asked.

Wu Mo had some guesses from the joy on the second lieutenant’s face.

It seemed that the battle for the city’s defense had ended successfully.

With that thought, Wu Mo secretly opened his points panel.

There were 1,204,558 points!

His points had increased by a million!

Did the weapon he forged play a decisive role on the battlefield?

Otherwise, why would his points increase so much?

“Lieutenant, the commander of the military region has instructed me to invite you to his place when you come out of seclusion.”

“Commander? Tu Haichuan, the commander of the southern war zone?” Wu Mo exclaimed with eyes filled with shock.

Being the commander of a war zone, his authority was even greater than the governor of the Red Heart province.

Why would such a person want to see him?

However, since they were already there, he would go along. From the soldiers’ attitude, he could tell that the military did not have any ill intentions toward him.

“Sounds good! Please lead the way!”

With that, Wu Mo boarded a chariot as a group of soldiers led the way.

Wu Mo only realized how serious the crisis in the city was when he went outside.

Rubble and debris could be seen everywhere, and there were traces of blood left behind by the foreign races. The people around him were relieved that they had survived the disaster.

Everything in his surroundings showed the brutality of the previous battle.

Wu Mo’s expression suddenly became a little gloomy.

He had originally thought that he would not cultivate for long.

Who knew that it would actually take him a whole week to cultivate?

He had missed the battle.

Soon, the convoy entered the Red City auditorium.

To Wu Mo’s surprise, he saw no less than 50 high-performance tanks parked in the parking lot.

At the same time, more chariots were coming.

Not long after, Wu Mo stepped down from the chariot under the watchful eyes of a group of soldiers.

In an instant, the entire parking lot seemed to change, and Wu Mo heard the discussions.

“Yes, it’s Wu Mo. I saw his photo in the briefing.”

“I didn’t expect the master who created the underground shuttle to be so young!”

“You might not know this, but he developed many of the practical equipment in the latest battle!”

“No wonder the military hasn’t held an award ceremony for so many days. They must have been waiting for him!”

“That’s probably the case. It shouldn’t be long before Red City’s big shots arrive.”

As the sounds of discussion grew further and further away, Wu Mo was led into a small but exquisite conference room.

Wu Mo finally discovered that he was on this trip to receive an award.

Based on the previous discussions, Wu Mo could sense that his recent contribution was probably no small matter.

He waited for half an hour in nervousness and excitement before a major pushed open the door to the conference room.

After the man gave Meng Chao a salute, he said, “Lieutenant Wu Mo, the award ceremony is about to begin. Please follow me!”

“Major, can you tell me why I’ve been summoned here?” Wu Mo asked.

He had to ask!

After all, a major had lowered himself to invite him out.

One could imagine how prestigious the award was.

The major smiled. “You don’t have to be polite, Lieutenant Wu Mo. My name is Liu Bin, and I’m just a few years older than you. If you don’t mind, you can call me Brother Liu.”

“What? That’s great, Brother Liu!”

Mr. Wu Mo taken aback for a moment, but he quickly addressed him.

Liu Bin smiled and patted Wu Mo on the shoulder. “Brother Wu, Red City is safe all thanks to you! If it wasn’t for you, I would have died!” he said mysteriously.

While they walked, Liu Bin recounted the battle, and Wu Mo finally felt the terror of the foreign invaders.

As it turned out, due to the sudden arrival of invaders at the beginning of the battle, Red City’s defense almost collapsed.

After Wu Mo’s underground shuttle displayed a powerful performance at the conference, the military ordered for it to be immediately mass-produced.

Therefore, a large number of underground shuttles entered the battlefield at the crucial moment.

In an instant, the situation on the battlefield changed drastically.

The city guards who had been holed up in the city began their counterattack.

After several days of retaliation, the non-humankind had no choice but to retreat, and the crisis in Red City was completely resolved.

Everyone remembered the underground shuttle that played a crucial role on the battlefield.

Wu Mo, who had created the underground shuttle, had become a well-known figure among all factions.

To win over Wu Mo, the military decided to give him a higher position.

Hence, Wu Mo was invited to accept this honor just as he came out of seclusion.

When Wu Mo sat in the front row of the auditorium, his confusion and bewilderment from before instantly disappeared.

Right then, his heart was filled with calmness and solemnity.

He could feel the respect from every officer around him.

During this moment of glory, all his comrades had gathered there to witness him reach new heights.

The atmosphere of the glorious ceremony was filled with enthusiasm, and the auditorium echoed with praises.

“Comrades, we are gathered here today to celebrate Comrade Wu Mo’s promotion to a Thriving officer. He is unwavering and noble, the embodiment of wisdom and courage.

“He is dedicated to his work, and he respects his elders. When it comes to his projects, he is eager to learn, and he arrives at intelligent conclusions.

“Comrade Wu Mo has created countless miracles for China! He has forged powerful weapons for national defense in succession and contributed to the advancement of science and technology for all mankind.

“Comrade Wu Mo is well-deserving of his position as a military officer. Hence, this is the best reward we can give him.

“Before the commendation ceremony begins, let us give a warm round of applause to Comrade Wu Mo!”

Thunderous applause echoed in the auditorium.

The Thriving level was a special military rank for blacksmiths in the army.

The special military ranks were divided into Budding, Seedling, Thriving, and Pillar.

The Budding-level officers enjoyed the lowest benefits of a major general.

Wu Mo’s strong military rank meant that he could already take on the responsibility and engage in a scientific research career alone.

At this moment, Wu Mo was deeply shocked and proud.

Jumping several levels in a row showed how much importance the military attached to him.

It was an honor for so many of his colleagues to witness his promotion to a Thriving officer.

“Next, let’s invite Comrade Wu Mo to the stage.”

“Play the military music!”

Commander Tu controlled the rhythm of the ceremony with his sonorous and powerful voice.

The passionate military music echoed in the auditorium. Wu Mo stood up and the spotlight shone on him.

Wu Mo walked to the center of the stage with steady steps. He saluted Commander Tu first, then saluted his comrades below the stage.

Then, he turned around and looked at Commander Tu. Their eyes met until the military music ended.
