Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam?

400 Forging of New Equipment Completed

“I’m determined to win this competition!” Master Zhang said confidently.

There were quite a few people nearby. When they heard his words, there was an uproar. _{n????????????а????. ????????????}

“Who is this guy? How audacious of him to boast so shamelessly.”

“You don’t know him? He’s one of the Red Heart province’s seeded players, Master Zhang Weiyi. He’s a peak five-star master blacksmith, and he could advance to six stars at any time!”

!!

“Most of the participating blacksmiths rank five stars and above. What makes him so bold to say that? Does he have something amazing up his sleeve?”

The reporter’s eyes lit up when she heard Master Zhang’s answer. It was controversial, and it would definitely attract a lot of attention. Her desire to stir up trouble instantly soared, and she quickly continued to ask, “I heard that many young genius blacksmiths have come from every province. One such genius is a blacksmith named Wu Mo from the White River province. He has just completed the production of several top-notch equipment, and the military has placed a large order for them. What do you think of Master Wu Mo?”

Zhang Weiyi seemed a little annoyed and said, “What can I say? I’ll see him when the time comes!”

Then, he added, “But this young man is very talented. He’s forged so many unbelievable Divine weapons that the military can use at such a young age. He’ll definitely have the talent of a Divine blacksmith in the future. However…”

He hesitated for a moment before continuing. “Despite his talent and hardworking nature, I’m sure he won’t even make it into the top 10, let alone win the competition.”

“Oh? Why?”

Zhang Weiyi’s response caused a commotion.

Some of them agreed, while others objected. However, due to Zhang Weiyi’s status as a blacksmith, no one dared to refute him loudly. Even so, they could not help but appear dissatisfied.

Zhang Weiyi did not care at all. He faced the camera and firmly said, “Don’t think that I’m jealous of those who are talented, and don’t think that Wu Mo’s invincible just because he created the Invisibility Armor, Spirit Wave Sword, and other top-notch weapons. The truth is, everyone participating in this exchange conference is on the same level. He’s really not as strong as you think!

“Although the Invisibility Armor he forged has heaven-defying attributes, it’s only a five-star armor. Its greatest function is invisibility, but as a battle armor, its defensive function is almost non-existent. What kind of armor doesn’t have any defensive power?

“Once the enemy has the ability to see through your invisibility on the battlefield, this armor will be useless!

“So, I’ve come to the conclusion that many of his ideas are good, but his strength is still very limited. Based on the power that the Invisibility Armor has displayed, it’s unlikely for him to enter the top 10!”

Zhang Weiyi’s words were reasonable, and no one could discredit him.

Ultimately, the Invisibility Armor’s defense was indeed quite different from that of other same-level armor. Once the enemy could see through the invisibility, there was almost no difference between wearing the armor and not wearing it.

…

In the room next to Wu Mo’s, Xu Wanqing was also watching the live broadcast with a solemn expression. For some reason, she also felt a little angry.

“These people have no idea what they’re talking about. The Invisible Armor isn’t meant for frontline soldiers. It’s meant for martial artists on special missions. How could they compare the two situations? Even if Wu Mo wanted to equip all of the soldiers, he wouldn’t be able to afford it! That’s a piece of five-star equipment. The materials and technology involved are all expensive.”

Although she thought so, she knew that the armor had a flaw.

After all, the armor was a combination of technology and transcendence, and technology was more important. That was the only way such equipment could be mass-produced.

Otherwise, it would be too difficult to mass-produce extraordinary equipment. The materials were only one aspect. The difficulty of producing extraordinary equipment was even higher, and the energy consumed was also terrifying. It could not be maintained for long, but it had to be done gradually over time.

It would take the army a long period to switch one piece of equipment, let alone more than one equipment. There was no cost-performance ratio at all.

This was, of course, a dilemma brought about by different ideologies. If only a portion of the top-tier elites were equipped, perhaps things would be better.

Unfortunately, compared to the other races, the strongest humans were still at a disadvantage. If there was no equipment that could greatly increase their strength and reverse their strategic situation, it would still be difficult to change conservative ideas.

…

In the blink of an eye, it was the second day and also the official start of the Annual Blacksmith Exchange Conference.

A night had passed outside, but 10 days had passed in the Divine Forging Space.

Apart from eating and sleeping, Wu Mo spent those 10 days forging Divine weapons.

A simplified version of Mjolnir, a battle sword that had yet to be named but was extremely tough and sharp, and combat boots that could increase a cultivator’s speed… These three pieces of equipment were forged one after the other.

However, it had only taken him eight days to forge the equipment. He used the remaining two days to forge a special defensive equipment that looked like an ice-blue orb.

He named the orb, Frost Star.

It had a similar function to a magic effect in a game from his previous life. Once activated, it could stir up a ring of ice and snow that pushed enemies a certain distance away. At the same time, it could freeze and slow things down. The source of this ᴄontent is novelenglish.net . Firᴇ

To make sure that the attributes of this item were good enough, Wu Mo had exchanged his system points for a top-grade Ice Soul. As long as one’s cultivation was lower than six stars, they would not be able to resist the freezing effects of the frost ring.

Once that happened, he would be able to kill as many enemies as he wanted with a sword in his hand. He did not need to be proficient in any sword technique, provided that the sword was sharp enough.

Coincidentally, Wu Mo’s second equipment was a sturdy and sharp sword.

Coupled with the combat boots, he believed that even a seven-star powerhouse might not be able to retreat unscathed if he was caught off guard.

Obviously, this was just speculation based on his current understanding. The actual performance was another matter.

Nevertheless, he felt that he could at least guarantee his safety for the time being.

In fact, he still had many ideas in his mind. He had many equipment designs, but because he was not strong enough and there was not enough time, he could only give up for now.

Although the idea of combining technology and transcendence was good, the current equipment manufacturing system that focused on both was obviously not suitable for him.

What he wanted to do was focus on transcendence and use technology as a supplement.

Very few people in this world took a similar path, but it was not because they lacked intelligence. They were powerless.
