Chapter 125: Eve of the Test

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Wu Mo was extremely satisfied as he stroked the smooth surface of the wings and felt the coolness on his fingertips.

[Ding… The Invisibility Armor has been successfully forged. It took 4 hours and 27 minutes in the forging space.]

Hearing the system’s announcement, the smile on Wu Mo’s face immediately melted.

He could not wait any longer and said, “System, identify the attributes of the Invisibility Armor.”

[Beep… Authentication completed. As the Invisibility Armor was created by the host, identification will not consume any points. The attributes are as follows:

!!

[Equipment Type: Armor

[Equipment Name: Invisibility Armor

[Equipment Grade: Epic

[System Score: 69 points.

1

[Equipment Effect: 1. Meteorite (steal 10% of the target’s spirit power and convert it into wearer’s own air shield. Defense will be affected by the amount of spirit power taken. Cooldown: 1 day)

[2. Solid Defense (reduces 65% of physical and spiritual damage.)

[3. Void Strike (increases the wearer’s movement speed in the air by 30%)

[4. Invisibility (completely conceals one’s movements. The effect disappears after receiving an attack.)

[Valiant Array (increases the wearer’s attack and movement speed by 25% when encountering enemies within 100 meters. Lasts up to 30 minutes. Cooldown: 1 hour)

[Rune Effect: Sorrow (when the wearer launches an attack, it will deal 1.5 times the damage to the enemy for the first time. Cooldown: 10 minutes)

[Equipment Evaluation: This armor is very suitable for cultivators in life-or-death battles. It has many functions and powerful features. The only drawback is its extremely high cost.]

Looking at the translucent item before him, Wu Mo could not help but feel excited about the equipment’s attributes and evaluation.

Wu Mo could not contain his joy.

Although he had forged Divine weapons before, he still could not suppress the excitement in his heart when he saw the Epic-grade battle armor that he had personally made.

The battle armor was currently lying quietly on the workbench, constantly emitting a mysterious purple light.

“Oh, right, there’s still one more piece of work that hasn’t been completed.”

Wu Mo was not quite used to the dazzling light.

He took out a handful of Moonlight Dust from his ring and lightly sprinkled it on the battle armor.

As the light gray dust floated down, the purple light was covered.

Even the translucent wings on the surface of the battle armor became completely transparent and stuck to the battle armor as if they did not exist.

After the light surface was covered, the battle armor suddenly appeared normal.

It was like a commonly-seen nebula camouflage suit, but the sapphire on its chest seemed a little out of place.

Wu Mo picked up the armor and shook it lightly. In the next moment, the wings attached to the suit changed angles, directly reflecting the surrounding light onto the wings.

The armor’s original camouflage color instantly disappeared, and only the corner of Wu Mo’s hand was still visible.

The complementary light made the armor seem non-existent, completely concealing its tracks.

“Gasp… It really can be invisible.”

Wu Mo smoothed the wings on the suit, and the camouflage color was revealed again.

“Phew, it’s finally done.”

He stored the armor his Interspatial Ring in satisfaction.

Then, he immediately recited the words in his heart and exited the silent Forging Space.

He was in a trance for a moment before he heard a series of small sounds.

Sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains, and the cries of various birds seeped through the window and gently reached his ears.

Rubbing his somewhat dull face, Wu Mo stood up from the bedside and walked to the kitchen.

The sound of his stomach growling made him feel a little emotional.

These last few days, he had not been living comfortably. He had been exposed to the sun and wind every day, and his skin had become a few degrees darker. He had not eaten a single fresh meal.

He took out a few fruits and bread from the refrigerator. Wu Mo planned to have a meal at noon and then go to the canteen to have a good meal in the evening.

A gray zebra finch stood on the courtyard’s wall. It tilted its head and looked at Wu Mo, who was sitting in the living room. It opened its black beak and flew away in the blink of an eye.

Over in the Research Department’s western laboratory, Zhou Ning was preparing to test the defense of the next piece of armor.

There were only two days left before the project was due to be commissioned. Aside from Wu Mo, the other four members of the assault team had already completed their work and were submitting it to her for testing. If there were no problems, that would be the final version.

Following two months of revision, they finally completed the improved version.

“Testing completed. Defense Index: 65.”

A sound came from the machine. Zhou Ning immediately took out the armor that had been exposed to the rays. After seeing the results, she could not help but feel relieved.

‘After three revisions, Lai Hua’s work has finally scored above the passing mark,’ she mumbled in her heart.

Just as she was about to proceed to the next round of testing, her phone rang.

Zhou Ning put down the armor and answered the call immediately.

“Hello, Assistant Zhou. My armor is ready too. If it’s convenient, please help me arrange a session for testing as well.”

On the other side, Wu Mo was lying in the yard and reading a brand-new notebook while speaking.

Zhou Ning almost could not recall who he was when she heard his unfamiliar voice.

She had been so busy these past few days that she nearly forgot that there was such a person on the assault team.

“Well… I thought you forgot about the commission. What have you been doing for so many days? Now that you’ve only produced your first edition, even if the test brings up any problems, will you have the time to revise it?” Zhou Ning sat at the side and said in a slightly displeased tone.

To think that Wu Mo had that confident look on his face back then. His true face was completely different!

“Assistant Zhou, don’t worry. The armor that I’ve made is my final version. For safety reasons, I’ll have to trouble you to test it.”

Wu Mo sounded indifferent, which was a great contrast to Zhou Ning.

“Forget it. As long as you know the stakes that are involved, it’s fine. Where are you? How do I find you?”

Zhou Ning sighed internally. Even now, she was not sure if Wu Mo would be able to produce an acceptable modified armor.

“I’m at home. You’re welcome to visit anytime,” Wu Mo joked.

“Okay, I’ll meet you in the afternoon.”

Zhou Ning hung up and pursed her red lips. For some reason, she was looking forward to seeing Wu Mo’s armor.

She wanted to see whether the other party was truly proud of his talent or just acting on the surface.

…

Two days later, On the day the B-level commission was handed over, the entire Research Department was shrouded in a layer of tension.

There were more than a dozen groups of research teams that had been entrusted with this commission. All of the teams’ work would undergo an initial selection. After weighing various factors, the most outstanding work would be selected to become the tenth-generation standard battle suit!

However, many of these research teams were just like Wu Mo’s assault team. They were merely running around to train their own strength. The ones who had a chance of being selected were the core groups with academicians.

Nevertheless, everyone was still looking forward to the selection.

After all, plenty of leaders would be present. If they could create excellent works, the leaders would likely value them, and they would become researchers who could truly take charge of their own affairs.
