The test was being held at 1.00 pm.
At that moment, Wu Mo, who was reading at home, also received a notice from Zhou Ning’s assistant.
“At 1.00 pm, all members of the assault team will gather at the research building’s testing site. Academician Xu and Professor Liu will drop by to check on everyone.”
Looking at the information on the National Artifact Research Department’s website, Wu Mo stretched his body.
Then, he turned around excitedly on the recliner.
!!
Rubbing his eyes, he put down the book in his hand and muttered, “It’s finally time for the test. I’ve been so free these two days that I almost fell sick.”
Assistant Zhou Ning had sent his equipment back yesterday afternoon. With a strange look on her face, she mentioned that the test had been completed and there were no problems for the time being.
However, Wu Mo did not take it seriously. After all, he knew the effects of the equipment that he had personally made better than those test machines.
It was purely a formality.
Before he knew it, afternoon came.
After Wu Mo went to the cafeteria to finish his meal, he walked toward the testing site.
The testing site was a one-story building. The area inside was not small, and there were numerous pieces of equipment for testing.
It was more professional than the research building. Usually, it would only be opened for use when researching secret Divine weapons.
It was not surprising that the principal had set the place up for project delivery.
Bathing in the beautiful scenery, Wu Mo soon arrived at the entrance of the testing ground.
At that moment, a few people were standing outside the testing ground chatting with each other. They were the other members of the assault team.
“Bros, you’re here so early?”
Lai Hua walked over from not far away. When he saw Chu Qingyan and Feng Qi, he immediately spoke to them with a smile.
“That’s right. It’s the day of the test. We’ve been so busy these two months. Hasn’t it all been for today?” Chu Qingyan said with a sigh as he held a black box.
“It looks like everyone’s very confident. I wonder who in our group will be able to get the academician and professor’s recognition,” Feng Qi said eagerly.
His voice was slightly distorted due to his excitement.
Just then, Zhang Yuan walked over quickly with a dark brown bag on his back and said, “Hello, everyone. Assistant Zhou says that she’ll be here soon. She’s asking us to wait for a moment.”
“Yo, Zhang Yuan, your attempt at being secretive is working. We can’t even see its shape,” Lai Hua immediately teased him with a smile.
“Stop fooling around…”
Zhang Yuan waved his hand before he seemed to recall something. “Oh right, you’ve probably seen the news on the official website. I heard that the National Artifact Research Department is going to hold a military-foundry exchange conference soon, and when the time comes…”
“It’s equivalent to furthering our studies. Who knows, we might be able to learn some ultimate skills. However, there are so many strong blacksmiths, and we’ve just broken through to the five-star realm. How can we compare to the people from the headquarters?” Lai Hua immediately pointed out.
“Let’s not focus on that now. We should complete the current task that’s been entrusted to us. After that, we can take on more core projects to train our abilities. If our abilities aren’t good enough, even if we go to the headquarters, we’ll be the lowest-ranking students.”
Chu Qingyan pulled open the glass door and walked into the testing grounds. Feng Qi nodded and immediately followed.
Wu Mo in calmly as well, and the four people on the testing field instantly looked at Wu Mo with inexplicable expressions.
“Ah… I didn’t expect our little brother, Wu Mo, to actually finish his work. Not bad!” Feng Qi raised his eyebrows and said with some surprise.
“Yesterday, Brother Wu Mo already passed the test conducted by Assistant Zhou. He must have something.”
Chu Qingyan smiled at Wu Mo. Her gaze was friendly.
“It seems that Wu Mo found inspiration when he went to the back mountain to gather materials. He actually completed his product so quickly. Congratulations.”
Lai Hua grinned.
However, Zhang Yuan, who was standing in the distance, let out a cold snort. But he could not deny it.
“It appears that everyone has arrived ahead of time!”
At that moment, someone opened the glass door to the test field. Zhou Ning, who was wearing a white t-shirt and gray sweatpants, walked in quickly.
Her long black hair fluttered over her shoulders, complimenting her rather cold and delicate facial features. Coupled with her capable and forthright personality, Zhou Ning exuded a beautiful and valiant temperament.
The atmosphere was relaxed as the crowd chatted for a while. Most of them were talking about subjects related to their work in the past two months.
Wu Mo had not participated in the discussion and brainstorming, so he did not have anything to say on such topics. He stood silently to the side.
Soon, it was one o’clock. Everyone came to the door to welcome the important guests. At this time, Academician Xu, who was wearing a gray suit, slowly walked toward the door.
A professor in a shirt and a pair of trousers was next to him. There was a lot of gray mixed in the professor’s hair, and he was a few years older than the academician.
The two of them chatted as they walked. When they reached the door, the atmosphere in the entire research room became heavy.
“Academician Xu, Professor Liu, you can proceed inside… The final test of the commissioned work will begin immediately.”
Zhou Ning rushed forward and spoke respectfully.
“Well… seeing that all the researchers are confident that they have made an excellent product, the two of us will be looking forward to it.”
Soon, Academician Xu and Professor Liu took their seats.
During this time, Xu Wuyue deliberately took a few more glances at Wu Mo. When he noticed that the boy’s expression was calm, he had some premonitions in his heart.
Soon, it was one o’clock in the afternoon.
A silver commercial car drove over from a distance and finally stopped at the test field’s entrance.
In a flash, two fully-armed cultivators got out of the car, followed by a middle-aged man wearing a casual Poto shirt.
The man was in his fifties. His skin was wheat-colored, and there was a heroic air in the way his brows were spaced. His eyes, in particular, made him seem like someone who looked down on the world!
The two high-level cultivators followed the middle-aged man closely, and Zhou Ning quickly helped to open the glass door for them.
Even Academician Xu and Professor Liu stood up and greeted their leaders respectfully.
“Minister Wei.”
“Sir Wei.”
The academician and professor with high positions in the Research Department bowed at this moment. That was enough to show the authority of this middle-aged man with the surname Wei.
Everyone was also excited. For so long, Academician Xu had been the highest authority they had ever seen. Now that a big leader was there on the test field, they knew that the leader would acknowledge the one who created the best work among the five of them.
Perhaps the best one could even get a place to exchange ideas with the headquarters, and from there, he would rise to the top.
Hence, once the team members understood this principle, they grew even more excited. They wanted to surpass the others and stand out the most!
“Hehe, Academician Xu, Professor Liu, and fellow researchers, you’ve waited for a long time. I heard from Academician Xu that all of you joined the fifth division not long ago. I’m looking forward to your first research work,” Wei Lan said with a smile as he looked at the team members in front of him.
