:Chapter 166 Repairing the Epic-Grade Leather Bracelet
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
It had been two and a half hours since he arrived in the military region after leaving the hotel where the class reunion was held. He was not hungry yet, but he was a little tired.
After all, he had slept until almost 10 o’clock last night because he was trying to improve the Invisibilty Armor.
Following that, he had gone to the internal reference room. Not only did he borrow three books, but he also went to the exhibition area to see many excellent works.
He had gone on to read the books and had not rested until now.
If it had been someone else, they would not have been able to endure the tedious work and boring reading time. Wu Mo, however, was intoxicated with pain and happiness.
In the blink of an eye, it was already half past six in the evening.
Wu Mo, who had just returned from the military cafeteria, swiftly took out his room card. He then opened the door and went back to his room.
On his way back to his residence, he had bought a bottle of Coke and some energy-replenishing snacks.
He opened the can of Coke and heard a pop. The carbon dioxide inside instantly bubbled.
Wu Mo raised his head and took a big gulp.
His entire being felt comfortable.
He continued to pick up the book he had yet to finish reading.
The crystal chandelier above his head emitted a constant soft white light, which accompanied his reading.
Time passed by slowly.
The sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window gradually darkened before it was eventually replaced by darkness.
“Ah…”
Wu Mo stood up and stretched, letting out a satisfied moan.
He put the book back into his Interspatial Ring and walked back to his room with tired steps.
He then closed the door and turned on his bedside lamp.
After Wu Mo washed up in the bathroom, he immediately lay down on the bed.
His entire body felt lethargic, but every one of his cells exuded a feeling of satisfaction.
His eyes gradually became tired, and he entered dreamland.
At this point, his more than 10 hours of being awake had completely ended.
Wu Mo felt that his sleep lasted rather long.
He did not wake up until the sun shone into the room through the gaps in the curtains.
He looked at his phone out of habit and found that it was already 8.30 am.
After being awake for 18 hours, he slept for nearly 10 hours.
He was so tired that he had neglected his biological clock, and for the first time, woke up after eight o’clock.
Once Wu Mo got out of bed and washed up, Wu Mo put on his coat and went to one of the eight major military divisions not far from the VIP residence.
The food there looked and smelled good. It was full of ingredients with comprehensive nutrition.
Wu Mo’s head was still a little heavy because he had slept for a long time. However, he felt refreshed upon drinking a bowl of pork ribs and radish soup.
The current cafeteria and the fifth Research Department’s cafeteria each had their own merits.
He returned to his residence after breakfast and did not plan to read any more books today. After all, there were still five days before the deadline to return the books to the internal reference room.
He had plenty of time to do other things.
As for what he would do, he had already thought about it last night.
He was going to repair the Sharp Leather Bracelet on his wrist.
The bracelet’s fourth equipment effect could not be used in its damaged state. Biting Cold was its most useful effect.
If he could repair it, he would be able to avoid any future dangers.
He had not been very strong back then, and he never collected all the materials.
Later on, he had gone to the Research Department, and since he received a Level B project as soon as he arrived, he had no time.
When he was studying the Invisibility Armor, he obtained a lot of materials, hence he already met the conditions to repair it.
Since he had time now, he might as well repair it.
At the same time, he would also become more proficient in forging. With that, he would not be rusty in the future.
After Wu Mo came up with a plan in his mind, he immediately put it into practice.
He slowly closed his eyes and calmed his mind.
Soon, his five senses were cut off, and the darkness in front of him gradually began to glow purple.
When he opened his eyes again, he was in a state of chaos.
Looking at the familiar silver workbench and the furnace mold, his hands felt a little itchy. He instantly placed the materials he needed for repair on the workbench.
Two of these materials were exchanged from the system’s store, and another was obtained from the Research Department’s materials warehouse.
Since the system would not provide him with a blueprint for repairing existing equipment, everything would be a test of his theoretical knowledge and practical forging ability.
Ultimately, repairing equipment was much more difficult than forging a new product.
To repair the equipment of others, one not only had to understand the equipment’s original concept but also thoroughly understand the technique used. Otherwise, the donkey’s lips would not match the horse’s mouth. There would even be the risk of the equipment being completely scrapped.
Therefore, an equipment repairman needed to have better skills than a blacksmith.
It was just that those expensive pieces of equipment were protected, and they could not be damaged easily.
Therefore, the main profession of a repairman was still related to forging.
A good blacksmith might not be able to become a repairman, but as long as one had the qualifications to be a repairman, one would definitely be a good blacksmith.
Wu Mo was only a newbie who had stepped into the field of forging less than four years ago.
He had been studying hard over the years, especially after entering the fifth Research Department, where his theoretical knowledge had greatly expanded and improved.
Nevertheless, he was still not very confident in repairing Epic equipment.
He could only rely on the backtrack function within the Divine-grade Forging Space and try out the effects bit by bit.
Wu Mo stood in front of the silver work desk, touching the smooth and cold surface before gradually calming down.
He threw the prepared materials into the furnace first, then immediately controlled the furnace with his mental power to adjust the temperature.
Different materials could withstand different temperatures. Some materials would melt in a flame of 300 degrees, while others were incredibly resistant. They would not melt until the temperature was above 2,000 degrees.
However, the furnace for material calcination in the forging space had been upgraded. On top of possessing 10 fire ports, it could also operate at different temperatures in the area.
Wu Mo completed the step of melting the materials very well.
In less than 10 minutes, the crystallized materials and fluids were placed into the crucible for preliminary cooling.
Then, Wu Mo gently took off the leather bracelet and prepared to carry out the first step of the repair work.
The surface of the leather bracelet had been weathered and exposed to the sun for a long time, hence it was cracked and damaged. He needed to use material and leather of the same attribute to repair it.
Such work was not even considered beginner-level for Wu Mo.
He took out the thinnest suture needle and immediately began to thread it.
It did not take long for the surface of the leather bracelet to be repaired. At first glance, the color and lines were no different from the original.
However, upon careful observation, one would be able to notice the differences. Despite that, a personal item’s appearance was not important to Wu Mo.
He took out a sparkling translucent gem and threw it into the furnace. He then carried out the first step of removing the impurities and purifying the crystal.
