Chapter 284 - 284 Taking the Audience By Surprise
284 Taking the Audience By Surprise
After all, the judges were all seven-star forging masters. They had great vision, and very few young blacksmiths were capable of receiving an excellent or outstanding evaluation.
There was a limited number of them at the exhibition.
However, the two pieces of equipment that Wu Mo displayed were out of the ordinary. The Invisibility Armor and the Spirit Wave Sword were not only scientifically-designed, but their internal energy was also extremely stable.
The effects of invisibility and the lightsaber’s power were beyond common sense. Even the three knowledgeable judges had never seen equipment that could make one physically invisible.
The only current effects that were similar to invisibility were aura concealment or creation of thick fog to hide one’s body.
Therefore, in the eyes of the three judges, the equipment developed by Wu Mo completely blew all the young blacksmiths who were participating in the equipment exhibition out of the water!
It was incredibly reasonable to give him a perfect evaluation.
“Elder Song’s words are extremely true. Wu Mo’s imagination is heavenly, and he’s able to materialize his ideas into equipment. Such a genius is very rare even in the entire Nine Provinces, so my evaluation is also perfect!”
Yuan Gang looked at Wu Mo with a gaze of approval and immediately gave him the same evaluation as Elder Song.
“Academician Xu, you’re really lucky to have such a hardworking researcher like Wu Mo in the Fifth Research Department. I hope you can train him well. As for the two pieces of equipment that Wu Mo showed us earlier, Elder Yuan and Elder Song have already explained, so I won’t go into detail. I think they’re perfect!” Chen Yuansong, the principal of Qingnan Academy, said emotionally.
Right then, Xu Wuyue was overjoyed as he stood on the stage. Wu Mo’s skills had been proven by the perfect evaluation from the three big shots. He had surpassed all the young blacksmiths. Even six-star blacksmiths might not be able to reach Wu Mo’s current achievements.
As long as everyone remembered Wu Mo’s name, the Fifth Research Department would always keep its high reputation.
Thinking of this, the smile on his face became increasingly bright.
At this moment, Wu Mo, who was standing at the side, immediately bowed and thanked them.
“Thank you, Masters, for your evaluation. I’ll definitely continue to work hard and forge even more excellent works.”
Wu Mo appeared excited. It was no surprise that he had worked so hard without rest since he received such high praise from Elder Song and the others,.
Although he was confident of his own strength, the satisfaction and sense of achievement that came from hearing it from the mouths of the masters still made him extremely excited.
“Thank you, three seniors. I, Xu Wuyue, would like to express my gratitude.”
Xu Wuyue cupped his hands at the three people not far away and prepared to leave with Wu Mo.
Seeing the corner of the latter’s lips curl up, the soldiers in the audience instantly had conflicted expressions.
“I can tell that Academician Xu is in a good mood,” some of the audience members who knew Academician Xu immediately said with envy.
“Of course. If a blacksmith as awesome as Wu Mo were in my organization, I’d wake up laughing from my dreams.”
“That’s true. I’m so jealous.”
“What a young newcomer. I’m afraid the Fifth Research Department will take off in the future!”
Everyone began to whisper and discuss.
As Wu Mo left, the audience watched his back with respect, admiration, and passion, but there was also a trace of hatred.
Gu Hongzhuo, for instance, was sitting in the audience right then, and he was so angry that he almost gritted his teeth.
If not for Wu Mo, he would have been crowned the best designer.
But now, Wu Mo’s appearance had crushed all of his fantasies and expectations!
Although the results were not out yet, one could tell what the results were just by looking at the three judges’ expressions and state!
He did not think that his field maintenance platform was any worse than the other works. If Wu Mo had only displayed one work like him, this would definitely not have happened!
D*mn it, where did this guy come from!
He was not willing to accept it, but the results were set in stone. Even if he wanted to take back the glory that belonged to him, it was impossible!
Therefore, he could only blame the anger in his heart on Wu Mo. He decided that if he had the chance in the future, he would definitely teach Wu Mo a good lesson. He could not let this matter go!
Gu Hongzhuo felt extremely aggrieved. He was the most powerful blacksmith among the younger generation in the Seventh Research Department and one of the most likely candidates to win the exhibition.
He was clearly the Newcomer King, but in the end, he had become someone else’s stepping stone.
Many blacksmiths from various large organizations had the same idea too. They initially stood a fighting chance for first place, but Wu Mo’s “attack” was a complete blow to them.
If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would not have believed it. A newbie could create such a thing. It was simply terrifying.
Even if that guy had started learning at the age of five, he could not have surpassed them by so much.
Comparing the two pieces of equipment that Wu Mo had researched to the ones that they were proud of, it was like comparing clouds to mud.
Many people even began to doubt their lives. To be able to develop such amazing equipment in his 20s, was he even human?
Of course, only a small number of people were hostile toward Wu Mo. Most of them regarded Wu Mo as a role model.
Although they felt inferior, most still felt that they were not working hard enough. When they returned, they would continue to work hard!
Many of the soldiers in the audience also had active plans in their hearts.
Some of them wanted to visit the Fifth Research Department after the exhibition was over. They wanted to at least be on friendly terms with the Fifth Research Department.
Others had the intention of looking into Wu Mo’s background. They wanted to know which academy such a powerful researcher came from.
Plenty of people tried to dig out Wu Mo’s thoughts, but seeing how Academician Xu treated him like a treasure, they knew that they would unlikely succeed.
Nevertheless, despite everyone’s differing opinion of Wu Mo, most people still admired him.
Wu Mo’s display of equipment had given them a great shock in just a few minutes and even refreshed their views on the world.
Simultaneously, the entire exhibition reached its climax.
Even the seven-star masters were stirred, more so the soldiers and blacksmiths of the younger generation.
After watching Wu Mo’s demonstration, they knew that the other blacksmiths would not be able to reach Wu Mo’s level no matter how good they were.
At this point, the exhibition gradually quieted down.
Wu Mo separated from Academician Xu and returned to his seat.
On the second floor of the exhibition, Lu Yuansheng narrowed his eyes as he slowly leaned back in his chair.
“He’s only in his early 20s, but he’s come up with such a meticulous design. It’s terrifying. If Wu Mo joins the Military Department for his development, he might be able to surpass those forging masters in a dozen years.”
