Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Tang Mu could not help but sigh. Half a year ago, Wu Mo and everyone else had been in the same situation. After half a year, there was still such a big gap between them.

Whether it was in terms of character or forging skills, the difference between them was like heaven and earth.

“It’s you, Wu Mo.”

Tang Mu laughed at himself and shook his head, completely admitting defeat to Wu Mo.

On the other side, Jiang Mengyao’s beautiful eyes also completely widened.

!!

Jiang Mengyao was stunned as she faced the situation.

In just a few months, Wu Mo had become a highly valued talent in the official organization. Such a change in strength surprised Jiang Mengyao, who claimed to know Wu Mo very well.

“I’m sorry. Since it involves a confidentiality agreement, I can only lie. Sorry… I lied to you.”

While Jiang Mengyao was in deep shock, Wu Mo’s slightly deep voice suddenly rang in her ears.

She instantly recovered and subconsciously said, ” “It’s fine.”

That seemed to feel wrong, so she quickly added, ” I know you’re a staff member of the Research Department and you’re involved in a lot of confidential work, so I don’t blame you.”

“Alright,” he said.

Wu Mo let go of Jiang Mengyao’s hand and slowly walked toward Sun Siqin.

“Liaison Sun, thank you for coming all the way here to pick me up. Let’s go,” Wu Mo said with a smile. His voice was gentle and clear.

“You’re a guest in our military region. It’s no trouble. Please step into the vehicle,” Sun Siqin said with a smile.

Wu Mo turned around and waved goodbye to Jiang Mengyao.

There was a trace of reluctance in the latter’s beautiful eyes, but she waved her hand too.

Soon, Wu Mo disappeared from the street after he entered the military vehicle.

Everyone exchanged looks as they felt that the people and things that had appeared in front of them were like a dream, disappearing extremely quickly.

“Well, I still have something to do, so I’ll take my leave first.”

A short-haired boy could not stand the oppressive atmosphere. He muttered to himself and ran to his bicycle which was parked by the roadside, as though he was escaping.

The people around him followed suit. Some of them got on their e-bikes, some drove second-hand Skoda cars, and they quickly left.

The class reunion ended abruptly after Wu Mo left.

Those who had previously mocked and ridiculed Wu Mo felt their hearts beat fast and their faces turn red. They were too embarrassed to appear before the rest of the crowd.

Soon, everyone dispersed. Professor Zhou Yan, who was dressed in a formal suit, pushed the door open and walked out. She looked at the empty front door with a puzzled gaze.

“Hey, I saw a lot of people at the entrance earlier. How come they’re all gone now?”

The interlude had come to an end.

On the other side, Wu Mo was sitting in the back of the military vehicle and chatting with the liaison officer, Sun Siqin, about the exercise the day after tomorrow.

The purpose of the military exercise was not only to test the combat level of two teams but also to update their tactics and enrich their combat experience.

The North China Military Region would conduct combat exercises whenever the situation was calm. While it was already a tradition, it was only conducted a few times a year.

After all, the actual combat exercise was also a test of the soldiers’ physical fitness. They needed time to recover later. In addition, during the confrontation, they would inevitably use heavy vehicles and cannons that were specifically used for practice, so they had less power.

It was not a small consumption of resources.

The military would invite many people to watch each exercise, but the seats were limited, and most of the people invited were important.

Wu Mo was the youngest of all the invited guests for this exercise.

Hence, the liaison officer was so respectful toward Wu Mo.

Ultimately, a researcher in his early twenties must have something special to be invited by the military.

Of course, it was not just the liaison officer who had this thought. The two four-star cultivators sitting in the front row also felt the same.

They saw that Wu mo was dressed plainly and had two big dark circles under his eyes. They were very impressed by Wu Mo’s research spirit.

They talked and chatted, and it did not take long for the car to leave Shanglin City and head toward the Third Military Region.

Looking at the gradually disappearing border of the city, Wu Mo felt a little regretful.

Although he would only be separated from his parents for three months, it would have been great if he could spend some time with them before he left.

After all, his parents had already moved from their old home to Shanglin City, and they were not used to everything there.

As for his sister, Wu Yan, who had begun to study in Shanglin City, he was not sure if she was used to the rhythm and education methods there.

Wu Mo sighed in his heart and could only comfort himself, thinking that after he left the military, he should be able to go back and see his parents.

Wu Mo looked at the military vehicle that was speeding. The interior was not only soft and comfortable, but it also gave people a sense of security.

Furthermore, its interior space was much larger than that of ordinary cars. He could tell from the sound of the engine that its speed could probably surpass many cars.

About an hour later, Wu Mo saw a high wall that ran across the plain from the window. On the other side of the wall should be the military region’s vast land.

Wu Mo was shocked when he saw such a majestic building complex. At the same time, he had a new understanding of the Nine Provinces’ infrastructure.

Soon, the military vehicle slowly stopped in front of a gate that guarded the forest.

Through the glass, he saw many heavily armed soldiers standing outside the door. All of them had four or more golden stars tattooed on their chests.

“Second Lieutenant Wu, we’ve arrived,” the liaison officer said with a smile.

The two four-star cultivators who were sitting in the front seats immediately got out of the vehicle and opened the back door.

“Thank you,” Wu Mo said with a smile and immediately walked toward the gate.

At this moment, in addition to the heavily-armed soldiers, there were two men in military uniforms standing outside the gate.

The man in the lead was about 40 years old. He had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. Although he had a smile on his face and wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, that did not diminish his fierce spirit.

The bar on his shoulder had three stars, indicating his rank as a captain.

The person behind the middle-aged man was younger.

However, he was in his 30s, and his epaulet had one bar and two stars, indicating that he was probably a first lieutenant.

The two people standing at the door immediately went up to Wu Mo enthusiastically when they saw him get out of the car.

“Second Lieutenant Wu, you have had a long journey. Welcome to the North China Third Military Region to participate in the mock battle!

The captain immediately stretched out his calloused hand and greeted Wu Mo with a smile.

“Thank you. I’m honored to be able to observe this military exercise.”

Wu mo smiled in return and shook hands with the other party. Then, the liaison officer rushed over and immediately began to introduce Wu Mo.

“Second Lieutenant Wu, this is Zhang Jianfeng, the company commander. The one standing on the left is the deputy company commander, Ren Bin. They are all here to welcome you.”

After hearing the liaison’s introduction, Wu Mo suddenly realized that the people greeting him were all important leaders in the military region.
