Chapter 358 - 358 Individual Combat Test
358 Individual Combat Test
[Equipment Type: Light armor
[Name: Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.
[Grade: Legendary
[Equipment Score: 87
[Equipment Effects: 1. Arm Driven (If the user’s four limbs are disabled, the user can use bioelectricity to control the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear to achieve perfect control)
[2. Strong Thrust (There is a core regenerative energy source within the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, which can provide the user with the ability to fly for up to five hours at one time. Upon entering the combat state, it can also provide the user with more than four tons of explosive power in an instant).
[3. Three-dimensional Defense (Aside from the head, the gear’s armor can provide extremely strong protection to the user’s entire body and resist a full-power attack from a seven-star cultivator).
[4. Brainstorming (The Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear’s armor has a built-in intelligent AI, which can analyze the situation or problems for the user in combat and enhance the user’s spirit perception and reaction speed by 30%).
[Array Effect: Tier 2 Flame-controlling Array (The exoskeleton armor’s protection against fire-type damage is increased by 15%, and the upper limit of the high temperature it can withstand is increased by 800 degrees.)
[Rune Effect: Steel (When receiving close-range physical attacks, there is a 12% chance for the opponent’s attacks to bounce off. Note: Unable to repel attacks that exceed the defense limit).
[Equipment Evaluation: For soldiers who love to fight bloody battles and slaughter their enemies, this is definitely a valuable armor that only comes once in a century. It fits their fighting style very well. For disabled people, this will give them hope to stand up again. In short, the forging technique applied this equipment is extremely advanced. Even among all Legendary-grade equipment, there are very few that can compete with it.]
Wu Mo glanced at the lines of data on the system’s panel, and a sense of pride immediately rose in his heart.
This was especially so when he saw that the appraisal system, which was always extremely harsh on equipment appraisal, had actually given the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear such an evaluation
His heart was filled with excitement.
In more than a year’s time, he had forged many pieces of equipment of the same quality. Aside from Mjolnir, which he had successfully forged by chance, the improved Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear was considered the most difficult equipment for Wu Mo to forge.
It took him a long time to study the required theoretical knowledge in the early stage. Later, when he started studying the model, Wu Mo would leave his villa early and return late every day. He even stayed in the laboratory building for more than a week.
After he came to the military armory, he got so busy that he could not even catch his breath. He had a fulfilling and torturous two months.
Fortunately, his hard work paid off not long after.
Lone Wolf’s previous visit and the attribute tests he had participated in gave Wu Mo hope that he would soon complete his goal.
Even though he had gone through countless sleepless nights and his body was clearly exhausted to the extreme, the system’s panel that appeared before him gave him the best answer he could hope for.
The Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, which had five equipment effects, pushed the limits of the Legendary grade in almost every dimension.
Through the Flame-controlling Array, Wu Mo even made up for the exoskeleton armor’s only shortcoming, which had been a low melting point.
Unfortunately, for nearly four months in the second half of the year, Wu Mo had been studying the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, so he had basically made no progress in his knowledge of arrays.
Therefore, his current skills only allowed him to draw Tier 2 magic arrays.
If it were not for the time constraint, he could have spent some time learning about arrays or asked Elder Huang for advice.
Perhaps, in the near future, he would be able to enchant a Tier 3 magic array on the exoskeleton armor.
Unfortunately, time was his greatest enemy. Even perfecting his work already made him out of breath, more so if he did other things.
“Close the interface.”
Wu Mo’s heart trembled slightly, and his senses slowly settled down, naturally withdrawing from the forging space.
As early as eight o’clock, Elder Huang had contacted him through Wei Ge and explained to Wu Mo that there would be leaders coming to visit today. It was regarding the practical test for the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear’s armor.
Since Wu Mo had promised that he would finish his improvement work within a month, he did not refuse this time. Instead, he made an appointment with Elder Huang at two o’clock in the afternoon to carry out the combat test in the armory’s open-air warehouse.
Wu Mo was a little reluctant, though. The Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear’s improvement had just been completed, and he had not personally experienced it yet. He had also invested a lot of energy and material resources into this equipment, and he cherished it immensely.
However, Wu Mo also wanted to know how the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear would operate in an actual combat test with it five passive equipment effects.
The previous tests had given him a better understanding of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear and allowed him to judge all of the armor’s abilities through the numbers visible to the naked eye.
Despite that, what he had learned on paper was shallow. After all, theories were just that, theories.
On an actual battlefield, no one would stand still and let you strike the perfect blow.
Therefore, in the history of forging, there had been countless pieces of equipment that were extremely powerful in theory but incredibly weak in actual combat.
In addition, with help from the military’s leaders, the individual test organized by Elder Huang would be extremely fair, and the risk of accidents would be very small as well.
Hence, it was not a bad idea for Wu Mo to agree to the test.
Once his consciousness returned to his dormitory, Wu Mo opened his eyes and sat up on his bed.
He then looked out the window out of habit. Due to the huge difference in temperature between the indoors and outdoors, a lot of mist had condensed on the glass window.
The round water droplets were affected by the gravitational force, and they slowly fell.
A few water droplets merged together, immediately forming a thin stream of water that flowed down the windowsill.
“It’s almost time… I’m going to have lunch first,” he whispered.
Soon after, Wu Mo pushed the door open and arrived in the living room. He kept the work pass on the table into his pocket, put on his coat, and immediately left the staff dormitory building.
Elsewhere, Elder Huang, along with Cao Jianzhong and several other core subordinates in the armory, drove to the leaders who had just arrived in Jingdu. Finally, at about 10.30 am, they successfully met up with the three leaders, Lone Wolf, and the special team that was helping with the test.
Before long, everyone got into the military vehicles. The specially-made vehicles lined up in a row and surrounded the leader’s vehicle in the middle. Then, they immediately began their journey back to the armory.
Cars lined the busy street on both sides because of the traffic jam.
In the middle of the empty emergency lane, more than a dozen green military vehicles were moving forth.
The special vehicle in the lead was not only huge, but its front part was also equipped with a solid anti-ram barrier. It had sharp metal teeth that could seemingly tear all ordinary vehicles in its range of perception into pieces.
