Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Outside the gothic-style auditorium building, the sky was completely enveloped by the night, and only the moonlight managed to break through the clouds and sprinkle down.
The breeze gently blew the flower beds around the auditorium, and the fountain added a hint of coolness to the air.
Under the street lamps, Zhou Jinlong of the Research Department was leaning against the wall and dialing an encrypted phone.
Du du…
The phone rang a few times before it was quickly picked up.
“Hello… Little Zhou, you should still be at the design assessment venue right now. Why are you calling me all of a sudden?”
The warm and steady voice on the other side of the phone could involuntarily make people feel at ease.
Zhou Jinlong immediately leaned close to the microphone and said in a low voice, “Sir, the design assessment has produced a genius. I want to introduce him to our National Artifact Research Department.”
“Huh?”
Hearing Little Zhou’s words on the other side of the phone, Xu Wuyue, who was in the laboratory at the moment, immediately frowned.
He skillfully took off his lab coat and quickly returned to the office.
“Little Zhou, it’s not like you don’t know the recruitment criteria of our National Artifact Research Department. Those who don’t meet the criteria will not be able to pass the higher-ups’ examination. What’s wrong with you today?”
Xu Wuyue turned on the speakerphone, wiped his hands, and asked in puzzlement.
“Sir, it’s like this. This student’s situation is special. Not only did he pass all the examinations with full marks, but he also personally refined a Divine weapon. Even the Magic Crystal Cannon cannot penetrate the defense of the weapon… he is a very strong student. If we can recruit him into the Research Department, he will definitely be a great help to us!”
Zhou Jinlong gave a general report on Wu Mo’s matter, and at the same time, he described the strange phenomenon caused by Mjolnir.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
Zhou Jinlong waited quietly.
The person Zhou Jinlong called was the senior manager of the fifth branch of the National Artifact Research Department, Xu Wuyue.
The latter was also his direct superior. He passed the seven-star blacksmith’s examination six months ago and was the pillar of the fifth branch.
“How about this, Little Zhou, show me the student’s information and the assessment video first.”
Xu Wuyue knew that Little Zhou was not an unreliable person. Since the other party said so, he must have carefully considered it.
“Alright.”
After listening, Zhou Jinlong immediately took out a palm-sized microcomputer from his pocket and immediately sent the information related to Wu Mo. .
“Sir, I’ve already sent it over. Please take a look.”
Hearing this, Xu Wuyue immediately opened the computer on his desk and turned on the video that was sent over.
Starting from the time that Little Zhou had marked, he looked through it one by one.
In the beginning, Xu Wuyue didn’t pay too much attention to it. He was just a student of the Divine Arms Academy. No matter how outstanding he was, he was still a four-star blacksmith.
However, as he watched the end, his expression quietly changed. Especially when he saw that student Wu Mo used the weapon’s side effect to pierce through the Legendary Glazed Heart-protection Mirror’s defense, his pupils slightly constricted.
This kind of thing wasn’t a big deal in the Research Department. Most six-star blacksmiths could do it.
However, this matter was done by a four-star blacksmith in the school. This was enough to explain the problem.
He couldn’t hold back his temper and directly cut to the end.
He was immediately shocked by the hammer that was suspended in the air and emitting golden light in all directions!
“Divine weapon’s light! This student named Wu Mo really forged a Divine weapon!”
Seeing that the hammer was finally returned to Wu Mo’s hand, Xu Wuyue subconsciously said.
“Sir, do you think I should write an email and report it to the director?”
On the other side of the phone, Zhou Jinlong was a little conflicted.
“F*ck… What the f*ck is there to talk about? I mean, we can skip this step.”
Xu Wuyue was excited. Such a good material had to be recruited into the Research Department. He couldn’t waste it!
He immediately said, “Go directly through the green channel of special approval. I’ll handle the matter. You Go and negotiate with this student. Don’t make any mistakes. This talent! Our fifth branch wants him!”
“I’ll leave this matter to you. Little Zhou, you must recruit him!”
Xu Wuyue’s mood was a little agitated, and his voice became a little heavier. It was not as calm as before.
After listening to him, Zhou Jinlong immediately agreed. Then, he gave some more instructions before hanging up immediately.
“I didn’t expect my mentor to be this agitated. Wu Mo’s student is really interesting.”
Zhou Jinlong couldn’t help but smile when he thought of his mentor’s excited look on the other side of the phone.
…
At this moment, on the other side, outside the high wall surrounding the auditorium.
Around the main entrance, countless reporters surrounded the main entrance and were anxiously waiting for the students inside to come out.
Every year’s graduation season was a topic of public concern. Most of the reporters would come here to record the real situation.
Even the official media in Shanglin City was the same.
If it were not for the protection of the hall’s historic sites and the airtight nature of the assessment, no one would be allowed to enter.
These reporters had long rushed into the gate and asked clearly.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the high-wall gate behind me is the 500-year-old auditorium. The scenery here is beautiful and full of historical features. It is one of the most beautiful scenery in Shanglin city.”
“The graduation examination is about to end. However, the employment situation in Shanglin City is grim this year. Many blacksmiths who graduated from famous schools are unable to find jobs. Next, I will interview a few random blacksmiths who have just finished their graduation design and ask them about their jobs!”
At this point, the photographer shifted the camera and recorded the main entrance.
At this moment, the fully armed security team opened the main door, but there was still no movement inside. Only two students wearing foundry uniforms walked out quickly.
It was completely different from what they had expected.
At this moment, the surrounding reporters were still in a daze, but the state media reporters from Shanglin City walked up quickly at this moment!
Outside the high walls of the auditorium.
Wu Mo and Jiang Mengyao walked out one after the other.
They brushed past the many fully armed martial artists standing at the entrance.
Just as the two of them were about to leave, a girl wearing a headset and a press pass hanging around her neck suddenly walked over.
She directly placed the microphone in front of Wu Mo.
“Hello, student. You should have just come out of the exam hall. How was the exam this time?”
The reporter was very professional and asked with a smile.
Wu Mo did not expect to be interviewed in an examination room, but he was not interested in any of this. He just wanted to go back to sleep.
“Hmm, it was okay,” he answered absentmindedly.
He did not reveal the score, and he did not want to create any trouble.
But the reporter did not stop there. She continued to ask curiously, “How was the recruitment situation there? Did it go smoothly?”
Hearing this, Wu Mo tilted his head and thought for a moment. Jiang Mengyao, who was at the side, waited quietly.
“That’s right. Those company representatives are quite enthusiastic.”
Wu Mo said so.
He didn’t lie, but he was quite enthusiastic.
The representatives in there were almost wearing their suits to be able to recruit him.
