Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The interview after the assessment had allowed him to enter the public’s field of vision.
And the two-hour video of the assessment at night had made his fame grow further.
Currently, whenever he randomly clicked on a website in Shanglin City, the front page headline would be a video related to Wu Mo.
Wu Mo was obviously the most eye-catching main character in this two-hour-long assessment video.
It included the assessment and actual combat scenes of the six events, as well as the separate tests of the three big shots. All of them were included.
The well-known websites’ portals were filled with live broadcast images of bullet screens.
There were so many layers of images that it was almost impossible to see the video.
The netizens who had watched the video were all in an uproar, and the related topics rushed to the headlines!
“D*mn, this is too scary. A student who just graduated could actually forge a Divine weapon?!”
“Is this the inner scroll of education? I love it!”
“How sad, how sad. The courage to forge a Divine weapon in Shanglin City actually fell on the shoulders of a student who is about to graduate. I really don’t know what those high-level forgers are doing.”
“That’s right, that’s right. Our younger generation is more reliable.”
“Aren’t you focusing on the wrong things? But then again, that student named Wu Mo is really powerful!”
“Needless to say, to be able to forge a Divine weapon at such a young age, it’s obvious that his future will be very bright.”
“Sigh… Let me tell you the latest news.”. “My aunt is the cleaner in the auditorium. She heard that the person in charge of Apple offered Wu Mo a salary of ¥100,000 a month, and some even gave him a car to live in. Wu Mo, that student, refused. This is breaking news!”
“F*ck… I really don’t know what he’s thinking. F*ck, we ordinary people can’t earn that much money even in three to five years. That young man actually earns such a high salary in a month. It’s really infuriating!”
“What’s there to be angry about? It’s not easy to become a blacksmith. Not only do you have to have extraordinary talent, but you also have to work very hard. You also have to accumulate a lot of resources to become a high-level blacksmith. Rather than being envious of these blacksmiths, it’s better to go online and scold those capitalists who owe migrant workers money.”
Discussions about the design assessment on the Internet rose and fell.
Some strongly criticized the educational content, while others expressed that Wu Mo’s future was promising.
At the same time, many people were attracted by Wu Mo’s personal charm and became his hardcore fans. If anyone dared to slander him on the internet, those fans who formed spontaneously would definitely criticize him.
At the same time, the news of Wu Mo winning the design assessment also spread to many high-ranking people.
Those who were in high positions could not help but sigh in their hearts. The profession of a blacksmith really relied on talent to make a living.
In Shanglin City, there were three six-star blacksmiths, but there had never been a Divine weapon in all these years.
It was because of this that the news of Wu Mo forging a Divine weapon could reach everyone’s ears.
At the same time, many people had thoughts of recruiting Wu Mo into the company or cooperating with him.
However, Wu Mo, who was sleeping soundly, didn’t know about these things on the internet.
Time passed slowly.
The next morning, Bai Ze woke up at seven o’clock in the morning.
The school only needed to take photos in the afternoon.
Wu Mo had enough time in the morning to prepare for a trip to Treasure Pavilion.
The last time he raided the treasure hall, he still had some of the materials stored in Treasure Pavilion. Now that he had finished forging the Divine artifact, his Interspatial Ring was more than half empty. It was time to move them back.
Having made up his mind, Wu Mo put on his clothes and was about to go downstairs.
At this moment, he received a message from Jiang Mengyao.
“Good morning. Are you up now? Do you want to go downstairs for breakfast?”
Hearing Jiang Mengyao’s energetic voice, Wu Mo couldn’t help but smile.
This girl always brought him joy and hope during his recent difficult times.
“Alright… But after dinner, I have to go to the treasure pavilion first.”
Wu Mo quickly came back with a message, turned around and walked downstairs.
The atmosphere on campus today was a bit special.
Since they had already passed the most severe design assessment, everyone’s face was full of relief.
Of course, there were also some who had a bitter look on their faces, probably because their test results were not very good.
The sun was shining on the playground at around eight o’clock in the morning.
Wu Mo stepped on the fallen leaves and just as he walked out of the male dormitory building, he saw Jiang Mengyao already waiting under a big tree.
Today, Jiang Mengyao wasn’t wearing the blacksmith’s exclusive clothing, but a set of clothes that was similar to the style of the little sister next door.
Today, she wore a light blue doll collar shirt and a gray pleated skirt, revealing a well-proportioned and good-looking calf.
A gentle breeze blew past, and the bangs on Jiang Mengyao’s forehead swayed slightly. Her fair oval face looked a little baby fat, and her skin was soft and fragile.
After seeing Wu Mo walk out of the dormitory building, the corner of her mouth curled up beautifully. There was a faint dimple at the corner of her mouth, and just a glance was enough to make one intoxicated.
“You’re awake so early. Did you sleep last night?”
Wu Mo blinked, feeling that he had not completely escaped from his slumber.
Jiang Mengyao rolled her eyes and said naturally, “Of course, after today, everyone will have to go their separate ways. You have to wake up earlier and take in all the things that you miss.”
Wu Mo tilted his head. “When you say miss, does that include me?”
He raised his eyebrows and carefully observed Jiang Mengyao’s expression.
The latter’s face immediately turned slightly red and she turned her head away.
“What are you thinking about? I know a delicious wonton store not far from here. Hurry up and go there.”
Seeing Jiang Mengyao change the topic somewhat hesitantly, Wu Mo couldn’t help but want to laugh.
The two walked through the tree-lined path and quickly walked out of the east gate of the Divine Arms Academy.
After a short while, they arrived at the Wonton store that Jiang Mengyao mentioned.
This wonton store wasn’t big, but it was filled with the smell of smoke and fire.
The Lady Boss and her husband ran the shop. Although they were busy, there was a smile on their faces.
They found a seat in the shop and sat down.
They ordered wontons with all kinds of fillings.
During their conversation, Wu Mo learned that Jiang Mengyao had been to this stall countless times during her three years in school. She was reluctant to part with the Lady Boss who loved to laugh and chat.
In less than five minutes, two bowls of freshly cooked wontons were delivered to her.
Wu Mo picked up his chopsticks and opened one. After seeing the filling inside, he immediately understood some of Jiang Mengyao’s feelings.
The wontons didn’t taste very good, and the wonton skin wasn’t as thin as the other shops.
But it felt like eating at home, which made Wu Mo think of his parents who were still in the countryside.
When he was done here, he wanted to go back to his hometown before going to the institute.
