Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam?
Chapter 120 - Journey to the Back MountainHe chewed up the books that were difficult to understand as well, and he could almost recite them back to back.
Since he had enough knowledge and knew the techniques by heart, Wu Mo appeared very relaxed.
Flick...
Eventually, he turned off the lights in his bedroom.
Moonlight shone through the glass door, and the entire bedroom fell into silence.
At that moment, in an office on the seventh floor of the research building, Zhou Ning was standing in front of the computer desk.
She was reporting the assault team's progress over the past month to Academician Xu.
"Are you saying that the other students have already given a suitable plan, but Wu Mo hasn't made a move?"
Xu Wuyue was sitting in the computer chair, and he questioned her in a puzzled tone.
"Yes, Academician Xu. Feng Qi's initial plan was to use titanium plates to replace the alloy material, and draw brand-new arrays as well as runes, to help improve the armor's attributes and effects. Lai Qi's choice of plan was more focused on..."
Zhou Ning's logic was clear as the project assistant, and she reported the improvement ideas and plans of everyone on the assault team.
Xu Wuyue nodded slightly.
He pondered for a moment and tapped his fingers lightly on the desk.
Noticing that Academician Xu was not speaking, Zhou Ning immediately added, "Academician Xu, those are students who have only been in the Research Department for half a year. Their methods of improvement might be a little green."
"Mm, I got it. There are still more than 20 days before the commission's deadline. You can give them a slight reminder to speed up their progress."
Xu Wuyue's voice was a little low. He was thinking.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHad Wu Mo encountered some difficulties? With his ability, it was impossible for him to not even have an improved plan within a month.
However, time was not up yet, so he did not intend to rush him.
"Okay, I understand. You can carry on with your day first, Academician Xu," Zhou Ning said respectfully and immediately left the office.
At night, there was no one in the research building's corridor. Zhou Ning walked on the path in her high heels, constantly making clicking sounds.
'Wu Mo, you're the most confident researcher on the assault team when accepting a mission. Why is it you can't even come up with a plan after one month? Don't let me down,' she muttered to herself in her heart.
She immediately walked into the elevator and left the building.
...
The next morning, Wu Mo arrived at Instructor Zhou's dormitory, Villa 907.
At that moment, Instructor Zhou was wearing a pair of white printed pajamas. Not only did he lose his original sharp aura, but he even seemed quite adorable.
"Mr. Zhou, I'm not disturbing you, am I?" Wu Mo asked in surprise as he stood in the yard and looked at Zhou Jinlong, who was watering the plants.
"It's okay. I'm on leave today, so I can take care of the flowers in the greenhouse."
Zhou Jinlong stroked the debris on the leaves and replied with a relaxed expression.
"How's it going? How many projects have you completed in the past month?"
Seeing Wu Mo's somewhat reserved look, he immediately opened up the conversation.
"It's... It's alright. Things are going quite smoothly at present. Mr. Zhou, I'm here to ask you if the Research Department has materials such as Dark Light Wings."
"I've already asked the materials warehouse, but they haven't found them."
Wu Mo did not beat around the bush and directly told him the purpose of his visit.
However, once he mentioned it, Instructor Zhou Jinlong frowned slightly.
"Dark Light Wings... This material you mentioned, could it be something from an animal?" Instructor Zhou Jinlong stopped what he was doing and asked in return.
Wu Mo immediately nodded. He thought that since Instructor Zhou Jinlong had a rough idea, he should know its origin.
"Hmm... I believe I've heard from Academician Xu that there's a creature called the Dark Light Butterfly on the mountain behind the Research Department. The wings you mentioned can't be the wings of those butterflies, right?"
Zhou Jinlong looked at Wu Mo.
Those butterflies that lived on the mountain were neither fierce beasts among the ten thousand races nor animals nourished by spirit energy. Even he could not think of any use for those things.
If he had not heard Academician Xu mention it before, he would not have known that there were such small creatures on the back mountain.
Forget the genius blacksmiths in their Research Department, even those who lived in the wild would not be interested in such materials.
Materials were called materials because they could be used for forging.
If they could not be forged into any equipment, then they would be trash.
He wanted to persuade Wu Mo to not take the unconventional path. If Wu Mo could not research it, he could change his mind.
However, when Wu Mo heard that Instructor Zhou knew the origin of the Dark Light Wings, a smile immediately formed on his face.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou. I know what to do now."
After Wu Mo said that, he quickly waved goodbye. Instructor Zhou opened his mouth, but in the end, he failed to say anything to dissuade him.
He felt that Wu Mo was still too young. Sometimes, hitting a wall was quite good.
The moment Wu Mo left Instructor Zhou Jinlong's villa, he went off to pack his things and prepare to venture to the back mountain.
The fifth Research Department occupied a large area in the capital city, but it only utilized 40% of the land.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe rest of the area was mostly covered by greenery and mountains.
Many birds and small animals lived there.
The entire Research Department was surrounded by a variety of beautiful sceneries precisely because those animals existed.
Wu Mo was so anxious because of the Dark Light Wings were very important materials in his stealth armor.
The Dark Light Butterfly was one of the members of the Papilionoidea family.
Their bodies were not big, but their wings were very wide.
Although the wings of each Dark Light Butterfly were different in color, there was one thing that attracted Wu Mo's attention.
Their wings were extremely thin, yet compared with others, they were more resilient. Most importantly, when the wings were stiff, they would be as hard as scales.
As long as he tempered them with Mjolnir in his hand, he could achieve physical invisibility by refracting light rays.
He had learned this from a notebook. He guessed that a few years ago, a master blacksmith had set his eyes on the Dark Light Butterfly.
Unfortunately, that blacksmith did not have a special weapon in hand, so he never managed to turn the wings into a material.
He only knew that the wings would be extremely hard when they were still. That was their nature.
By now, Wu Mo had returned home. He put some food and water in his Interspatial Ring on top of two sets of clothing before he prepared to set off.
The mountain behind the Research Department was less than a kilometer away from the research building at the center.
Be that as it may, the continuous mountain range stretched across several hundred kilometers and extended out of the fifth Research Department. It was one of the most famous mountain ranges in the entire capital.
After around ten minutes, Wu Mo arrived at the foot of the mountain.
The place was surrounded by dense vegetation, and the building's shadow was no longer visible.
Unlike other places, it did not have strict security measures. It was much closer to nature instead.
