Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam?

398 Equipment Design

The conference would begin tomorrow morning.

However, the opening ceremony tomorrow was just a formality, and it was definitely not as grand as the Olympics in his previous life. Nevertheless, it was more important, and all the “athletes” had to attend.

Although it was called a conference, it was actually a competition.

The results would affect each province’s future funds and benefits.

Wu Mo felt that he could use this time to enter the Divine Forging Space and forge a few pieces of equipment for himself.

While it was a little last-minute, he naturally had to correct the mistakes he had previously made.

Mjolnir was a piece of Divine-grade equipment, and it gave him a great advantage in forging. However, he could not use it because he would not be able to explain its origin.

The source of the materials used to forge Mjolnir could not be explained either. Therefore, he could not use it even if it was powerful.

This was not only for the sake of improving his strength. There would be a live broadcast of the exchange conference, so how could he use Mjolnir to forge equipment before the public’s watchful eye?

He would be crazy to do that.

Hence, he needed a weapon to help with his cultivation and combat.

As he examined his current situation, he recalled that he had other satisfactory equipment besides the Interspatial Ring.

Now, he had to create a brand-new set of equipment that he could use openly.

However, it was clear that one day was definitely not enough.

Even if he wanted to make it in the upcoming competition, he had to first forge a weapon and a tool hammer that could be used for forging. As for other equipment, he could temporarily use the Invisibility Armor, but he wanted to make a pair of combat boots that would help him move fast enough.

If the armor’s defense was insufficient, he could at least survive and prevent his enemy from hitting him by running fast. _{????????????????ℯ????????. ????૦ｍ}

As long as he survived, he could start over.

At the same time, he also planned to master a few martial arts techniques that were suitable for him.

With just cultivation and no techniques, he could only use the Untrained Fist1 to fight his enemies. He could not bear to look at himself.

It was a pity that he had spent too much time on forging equipment and paid little attention to martial arts. It was too late for him to cram everything in now.

No matter how crude the martial arts techniques in this world were, he could not learn them in a day or two. Follow current s on N(o)v????l(F)ire

He no longer hesitated at this point. With a thought, his consciousness entered the forging space again.

As he stood there, Wu Mo began to think about what kind of equipment he should prepare for himself.

There was not much time left, so he had to make the most of it.

If any of the foreign races ambushed him, how would he deal with them? How should he react to an unexpected situation? What should he do if he was surrounded?

Should he make an armor with strong defense?

It was useless. No matter how strong the armor was, it would still break in the end. When that happened, would death not be the only thing waiting for him? The Invisibility Armor was enough for the time being.

It would be best if he could avoid the enemy’s line of sight.

Perhaps he could forge a pair of combat boots that could increase the speed of his movement. If he could not beat them, he could dodge them and escape far away. That was the only way to save his life.

However, it was not safe to rely on a pair of boots.

No matter how fast he ran, he would still be crippled if the enemy had the ability to attack from a distance.

So, did he have to forge an armor with high defense after all?

Wu Mo shook his head. Forging an armor was a very complicated process that required more time. He did not have enough time to design and forge it.

Fortunately, his Invisibility Armor could turn him invisible. Coupled with speed, he might be able to fare better.

However, just to be safe, he had to have at least one trump card that he could pull out in an emergency.

Mjolnir was not convenient to use. It was too conspicuous and not stealthy enough.

The Spirit Wave Sword was powerful enough, but it might not be of much use against an experienced enemy.

He still needed a fast but hidden and powerful weapon that could be used from a distance.

In fact, Wu Mo had thought of building a pair of wings for himself. The best course of action was to fly away when he encountered an enemy, but after some thought, he gave up on the idea for the time being.

It was not that wings were not good, but the idea would be too difficult to execute. The time and materials required were still unknown.

Time was what he lacked the most at the moment.

In the end, Wu Mo simplified Mjolnir’s blueprint and exchanged his system points for some higher-level materials. With the Divine Blacksmith System’s help, he quickly forged a five-star hammer, which was enough for him.

By now, he was already feeling helpless about the tedious process of creating equipment.

Obviously, the experience and process of this world’s entry into transcendence had led its technology and supernatural system to develop in a direction that no one had expected.

It was a good idea to combine the supernatural and technology, but Wu Mo realized that current equipment manufacturing seemed to be based on technology, while the supernatural system was secondary.

Doing so ensured that the equipment would be more precise, and they could also be mass produced. Unfortunately, the equipment would be limited by technology, and it would be difficult to unleash true extraordinary power.

Furthermore, since equipment manufacturing was mainly based on science and technology, it consumed a lot of time and resources. This resulted in slow progress.

In Wu Mo’s opinion, even though he could not improve his speed that much if he focused on supernatural cultivation, at least the equipment he created would be more powerful. He just could not mass produce them.

Both approaches had their own advantages and disadvantages.

With that said, Wu Mo felt that as long as he could ensure high combat power, it would be more economical and effective than having the advantage of numbers. He would also be more intimidating and efficient when killing enemies.

Just think about it. If top-notch experts were paired with even more impressive extraordinary equipment, they could kill the leaders of enemy races. No matter how many troops they had and how good their equipment was, they would end up running around like headless chickens. What was there to be afraid of, then?

Therefore, as Wu Mo forged his latest equipment, he leaned more in the direction of the extraordinary. He did not involve much technology, so not only did it provide greater speed, but the equipment he forged even had light and shadow effects.

The new five-star Mjolnir appeared to be a size smaller than the original Divine-grade hammer. Yet, he could see lightning arcs flickering on it when he placed it on the forging table. It looked extremely advanced.

“Gasp! The effects of this equipment are pretty cool! Hmm, this thing should have a hidden ‘effects’ switch. That way, I can turn it on when I want to show off and turn it off when I want to keep a low profile. I can even take my opponents by surprise when they underestimate me…”

...

For some reason, Wu Mo recalled the actions of several protagonists in the s from his previous life. It was inexplicable, but he was looking forward to battle.
