Chapter 118: Making a Plan, Invisibility Armor

He had actually spent nearly four hours in the internal reference room.
No one would believe him even if he told them.
Seeing that it was already so late, he did not dare stay any longer. He randomly picked two other books from the bookshelf and hurried out the door.
According to the rules regarding the internal reference room, all researchers, except for academicians, could only come twice a week and borrow three books at most.
Since he had already used up his number of visits, he might as well take more books.
He then pressed the button on the wall.
The thick and heavy safety door was slowly pushed open. Wu Mo went to the registration office and quickly obtained the proof of borrowing.
Soon after, he left as the staff gazed at him with shock.
The 40-year-old registrar looked at Wu Mo’s departing figure with his mouth agape.
If he remembered correctly, this young man had entered the internal reference room at six o’clock in the evening, but he came out so late. Had he fallen asleep inside?
After leaving the command center, an excited Wu Mo walked back to his dormitory, the limited-edition villa.
The face recognition program opened the courtyard door and locked it.
He approached the stone steps in front of the hall and changed his shoes into slippers.
Flip-flop, flip-flop. Then he ran up to his bedroom on the second floor and drew the curtains.
Finally, he placed the three books on his desk. Once he did all that in one go, he immediately closed his eyes.
‘Enter the Divine Forging Space!’
He silently chanted in his heart, and in the next moment, his five senses were sealed off.
His mind was in a slight daze, but he instantly arrived in the Divine-grade Forging Space.
He looked at the forging space that was filled with dense black light.
Wu Mo heaved a sigh of relief. He immediately took out the Invisibility Armor’s blueprint and laid it flat on the white workbench.
The blueprint recorded every detail of the Invisibility Armor, as well as the entire forging process.
Soon, the information on it turned into specks of starlight and merged into his mind.
Right then, he had already mastered the forging method and experience required to cast the Invisibility Armor. Even if he did not rely on the backtracking function on the workbench, he could successfully cast it in two times.
That was the blueprint’s most important function. It showed the drawings of all Divine weapons and shared all the necessary experience and knowledge. One could even understand the most subtle twists and turns after looking at it.
If one were to obtain the same amount of knowledge and experience from each failed forging, it would take at least a week or even longer.
Now that Wu Mo had obtained the blueprint, he only needed to get all the materials.
Once he got his hands on the materials, Wu Mo could completely rely on his experience and use the backtracking function to forge the Invisibility Armor within a week.
Unlike others, he had pretty much won at the starting line.
With that said, Wu Mo had also put in a lot of effort when compared with the rest.
He managed to reach this stage because he never gave up on himself.
Looking at the faint but chaotic light in front of him, Wu Mo heaved a sigh of relief.
“The functions of this Invisibility Armor are not much different from the requirements on the commission list. Although I’ve modified all the battle modules, it has better performance. I’ll collect the materials in the next few days.”
Wu Mo had already made a plan in his mind and decided to use the Invisibility Armor as the commissioned work in two months.
“System, please list the materials required to forge the Invisibility Armor.”
[Ding! Searching… The materials are as listed.
[Thirteen materials are required to forge the Invisibility Armor, including Green Glass Thread, Meteorite Spirit Stones… Dark Light Wings and so on. According to the search, there are four in the system’s store. The rest need to be found by the host.]
Looking at the list of materials that appeared in front of him, Wu Mo made a mental note in his heart. He planned to look for the person in the material warehouse tomorrow. After all, this was the Research Department, so there should be many precious materials here. At the very least, it should be better than Treasure Pavilion.
After he prepared everything, Wu Mo silently recited the magic words in his heart and slowly exited the Divine Forging Space.
Opening his eyes once more, he saw a warm bedroom before him.
He exhaled softly and picked up the materials on the table to continue his reading.
He carried on until 11 o’clock at night, when he was so sleepy that he could no longer open his eyes, before placing the books into the bookcase with the password.
As he lay in bed, he scrolled through his phone.
Wu Mo discovered that there was an additional app called the National Artifact Research Department on his phone.
Feeling curious, he opened it and discovered that the front page displayed the fifth Research Department.
The software could instantly initiate a conversation with any researcher, and it had a triple A information lock to keep it confidential.
It must have been installed automatically after Wu Mo entered the Research Department.
He found that not only were Zhou Jinlong’s good friends on the chat page, but there was also a group chat with the assault team that had just been formed this afternoon.
Did the Information Department have a hidden hacker who could control his phone remotely.
Wu Mo was surprised. He subconsciously opened the assault team’s group chat.
He realized that there were already a few messages.
Feng Qi: “Those people from the Information Department are really fast. I can only sigh at how powerful the technology is now. It has already exceeded my comprehension.”
Lai Hua: “You’ll get used to it. This isn’t the first time I’ve encountered something like this. When our group disbands, the group chat will also be deleted.”
Chu Qingyan: “So far, I still don’t have any leads. It seems that this matter can’t be rushed. Let’s go to sleep first, everyone.”
Wu Mo curled his lips as he read the messages that the three of them left.
Perhaps it was because of their difference in age, but Wu Mo felt that he could not bond with the rest.
Just as he was about to turn off his phone and go to sleep, his instructor, Zhou Jinlong sent him a text message.
“Wu Mo, you seem to be adapting well in the Research Department. I heard from my mentor that he’s arranged for you to improve some armor. How is it going? Do you have any leads at the moment?”
Looking at the concerned text message from Mr. Zhou Jinlong, Wu Mo grinned.
“It’s not bad. The working atmosphere here suits me very well. Instructor, I saw that the National Artifact Research Department’s app appear on my phone. Why didn’t you send me a message there?”
Zhou Jinlong answered, “That’s our Research Department’s communication software. Although it guarantees absolute information security, the people from the Information Department can see everything there. Aside from work-related topics, try not to make any other comments there.”
“Oh, alright… Thank you for your concern, Mr. Zhou.”
Wu Mo quickly typed his reply. He recalled the three people grumbling about the National Artifact Research Department earlier, and he could not help but want to laugh in his heart.
The three graduate students probably did not know that on the other side of their phones, the staff of the National Artifact Research Department might be staring at the screen.
If they made some horrible comments, they would die on the spot.
If the content they posted contradicted the department’s style, they might even lose their jobs as fresh graduate.
“You’re welcome. In the future, if you don’t understand anything, you can let me know. Rest early. Good night.”
Wu Mo lay in bed and slowly closed his eyes after he read Zhou Jinlong’s message.
He planned to wait until the next morning to contact the warehouse staff and send everything over.
