Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam?

382 The Upcoming Exchange Conference

[On behalf of the arms organizations in the southeastern war zone, I thank you for your efforts in expanding the field of forging.

[At the same time, I hope that you will continue to work hard and not waste your youth. However, remember to maintain a balance between work and rest as well. Don’t tire yourself unnecessarily.

[As for the exchange conference, everything has been settled. I hope that you will gain a lot from it.

[Your comrade, Liao Dongcheng.

!!

[Date: January 2.]

He looked at the ink on the paper and the writing that seemed to be in General Liao’s style.

Wu Mo was touched. There were not many people who would always worry about him.

He had only become friends with General Liao by chance when he put his Invisibility Armor to test.

Later, he received news from Academician Xu that the federation would hold an exchange conference at the end of the year for all the young blacksmiths in the Nine Provinces.

The requirement to participate in the conference was three technological breakthroughs. One had to develop three pieces of equipment within five years of entering an organization under the military.

Wu Mo, on the other hand, had only joined the Fifth Research Department for more than half a year. So far, he had developed the Invisibility Armor and Spirit Wave Sword, which could only be considered as two technological breakthroughs.

To participate in the conference at the end of the year, Wu Mo had to work hard to complete the research and development for the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear in the last few months.

His agreement with Brigadier General Liao had also been made four months ago.

At that time, Brigadier General Liao awarded him the first lieutenant medal and the Exemplary Scientific Research Award.

To encourage Wu Mo to continue working hard, General Liao brought up the Annual Exchange Conference and the agreement they could make.

If Wu Mo could complete three technological breakthroughs before the end of the year, Liao Dongcheng would write a letter of recommendation to help him meet the requirements for the conference. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ɴovelFɪre.net

However, it had been a few months since the incident, and Wu Mo assumed that General Liao would have forgotten about it. Unexpectedly, General Liao had already sent out the letter of recommendation half a month ago. That allowed him to pass the review and secure a place in the exchange conference.

“Hehe, when you put in the effort, you will always reap the rewards. Now that you’ve finally obtained a spot in the conference, you’ll have to think about making the most of it,” Xu Wuyue reminded Wu Mo who was next to him.

He could see that Wu Mo was staring at the letter in a daze.

“Mhm… Don’t worry, Academician Xu. I’ll definitely treasure this hard-earned spot and use it to reach the six-star rank!”

Wu Mo appeared excited, and his heart was filled with a fighting spirit.

The exchange conference was open to all the young blacksmiths in the Nine Provinces. However, only the elites in his age group could obtain a spot in the conference.

Many seven-star master blacksmiths would be at the exchange conference to give them pointers. Wu Mo did not know all the details of the event, but based on how high the entry requirement was, he could tell that grabbing the opportunity to attend it would benefit him.

His forging skills were already at the peak of five stars.

His mastery of theoretical knowledge was also close to perfection.

However, due to his limited spirit power and the lack of available information, he had not been able to reach the six-star rank.

This conference was an opportunity for Wu Mo to make a breakthrough. As such, he had been working extremely hard for the past two months.

“Yes, I asked you to come back earlier because I wanted to give you plenty of time to prepare. Besides, the three lieutenant generals who visited the armory have their eyes on you.

“In addition, the project you’re developing is classified. Your reputation will grow a lot in a short time, so staying in the armory won’t be the best course of action.”

Xu Wuyue nodded in satisfaction and expressed his thoughts to answer Wu Mo’s questions.

“I see. Thank you, Academician Xu, for looking out for me. I didn’t even realize it.”

Wu Mo’s eyes flickered as he finally understood the situation.

Before the three lieutenant generals left, they had extended olive branches to him.

Shen Hongyuan wanted him to go to the First Military Region and become a head assistant in the Military Department.

Zhuang Zhe and Lieutenant General Lu Yuansheng suggested that he train and learn new skills in the eastern war zone. ????????????????????????????. ????????????

However, back then, Wu Mo was not thinking that far ahead, so he rejected their offers.

He did not expect Academician Xu to figure out the thoughts of the three lieutenant generals even though he was never at the armory.

This solidified Wu Mo’s admiration for him.

“The conference will be held in three days in the Red Heart province, which has the greatest overall strength. When the time comes, I’ll assign someone to go with you. Once you arrive, the local staff will properly take care of you.”

Academician Xu paced around in his office as he provided Wu Mo with some information.

Wu Mo, on the other hand, was a little disappointed.

“It would be great if the conference could be held in the White River province. We’re not familiar with that place.”

“Hehe, if only the Red Heart province didn’t have such favorable terrain and a prosperous economy… It’s no surprise that the federal government would want to hold the conference there.

“But you don’t have to worry. The exchange conference organized by the federation will be absolutely fair. There will be no bias or fraud.” Academician Xu looked at the snow outside the window and said in a somewhat helpless tone.

Whether it was in terms of economy or strength, Red Heart was currently ranked number one in the Nine Provinces.

Unlike the Red Heart province, where seven-star cultivators were everywhere, the White River province was in a much bleaker state.

Even so, White River’s economy had improved a lot in the recent half a year, and its overall strength was also approaching the eighth place.

“Well, it’s not important where the conference will be held. It doesn’t really affect me.”

Wu Mo felt that the atmosphere in the office was a little gloomy. Hence, he immediately stood up and spoke with confidence.

“Don’t worry, Academician Xu. I’ll definitely seize all opportunities and try my best to break the shackles of the six-star rank.”

“Yes, I believe in your abilities. It’s late now, so you should go and rest early. Try to be in the best shape for the conference.”

Xu Wuyue was pleased to see Wu Mo’s confident face when he turned to him.

He patted the young man on the shoulder and gave him a gentle reminder.

“Okay, I’ll take my leave then.” After saying goodbye to Academician Xu, Wu Mo immediately left the office.

...

He turned around and walked toward his villa.

Academician Xu stood by the window and looked at Wu Mo’s disappearing figure as complicated feelings filled his heart.

Among the younger blacksmiths in the White River province, Wu Mo was definitely in the top 10, even if he was not the best.

However, this was only limited to one province.

It’s important to note that the Red Heart province was not only extremely rich in resources, but it also had many rare natural treasures.

Similarly, the overall strength of the younger blacksmiths in Red Heart was a level higher than those in White River.

He was a little worried that Wu Mo would feel intimidated and a little discouraged after seeing all kinds of geniuses at the conference.
