Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam? - Chapter 311

311 Is There Still a Chance?
Fighting, protecting the country, and protecting the lives of people was their life’s mission.

However, Lone Wolf did not say a word about this. He was obviously lying!

In this situation, forget Lone Wolf, who had a strong nature and high self-esteem, even he, Bald Eagle, would be overwhelmed by such difficulties.

Therefore, he knew that Lone Wolf’s carefree and nonchalant attitude before the both of them was just an act.

The more he acted like he did not care and felt that it did not matter, the more pain he felt inside.

!!
The ward was silent, and Bald Eagle’s expression was full of guilt.

However, Wu Mo started to laugh as he sat by the bed.

“Well said, but in my opinion, this is an opportunity for you.”

Wu Mo had a smile on his face, as though he had completely forgotten what Bald Eagle had told him before he entered the ward. He had crossed the line.

Bald Eagle was surprised, and his expression became unpleasant. Yet, Wu Mo continued as if he did not notice anything. “Before your leg was injured, I could already tell that your strength was about the same as Bald Eagle’s. It was also possible that you might not have been able to defeat him.

“But now, it looks like that’s not necessarily the case.”

Wu Mo spoke directly without any hesitation.

As soon as he finished speaking, Bald Eagle inserted himself with a dissatisfied expression/ “That’s enough!”

Wu Mo was pouring salt on Lone Wolf’s wound with his words.

Hence, Bald Eagle was a little angry. Was Wu Mo not being too straightforward? Was he going to make fun of Lone Wolf at such a time?

Lone Wolf was seriously injured, and he had recently undergone amputation surgery, so how could he take such a shock?

He thought about it and was about to explain to Lone Wolf when Wu Mo, who was sitting by the bed, suddenly had a serious look on his face.

“I’m here to ask you one thing. Do you want to become stronger? Do you want to return to the Special Forces and the battlefield?”

Wu Mo’s tone was extremely serious, and he stared sharply into Lone Wolf’s eyes.

Feeling the change in his attitude and eyes, Lone Wolf’s heart stirred.

He had been lying in Renhe Medical Center for seven days. He wanted to return to the Special Forces and complete the mission to protect the country with the soldiers he was familiar with.

However, in his current condition, he could no longer stand up. Even if he was equipped with an artificial limb in the future, he would definitely not be able to display his original strength.

Although Wu Mo’s question moved him and disappointed him slightly, when he thought about the injuries that even Renhe Medical Center could not treat, he believed that Wu Mo could not do anything.

At this thought, Lone Wolf’s pale face suddenly revealed a bitter smile, ” I… I don’t care anymore; this is good for me. As for the battlefield and the endless missions, I’m already tired of them.

“Besides, I’ve solved hundreds of big and small cases for the government during my service. I’ve experienced the reputation and power that I deserved. It’s time for me to retire and enjoy life now. Isn’t this good?”

After saying that, Lone Wolf turned his head and looked out the window in a daze.

His eyes were red, and his hands were clenched tightly, but he did not make any of it obvious.

Seeing that Lone Wolf was still in denial, Wu Mo did not say anything more and turned around to leave.

Just as he was about to leave the ward, he heard Lone Wolf’s slightly muffled voice behind him.

“Is… Is there still a chance?”

Upon hearing Lone Wolf’s words, Wu Mo immediately halted and turned around to look at him with a serious face.

“If I wasn’t confident, I wouldn’t have mentioned it. Come to Armory No. 64 in a month’s time. I’ll give you a surprise!”

Following that, Wu Mo left without looking back.

Now that Lone Wolf had broken his leg, it would not be long before he was dismissed.

He had to seize the opportunity and forge the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear before the letter of condolence came from the military leaders. That way, Lone Wolf could return to his peak!

Wu Mo quickened his steps, and the two cultivators standing outside the door swiftly followed.

They looked at Wu Mo with respect and surprise.

The cultivators did not expect a researcher to have such a close relationship with a big shot like Bald Eagle. They seemed to be on good terms.

After the three of them left Renhe Medical Center, Wu Mo returned to the military vehicle and continued his journey.

About two hours later, they finally left the capital’s Xicheng District and arrived at the Baihe District.1

Dozens of minutes passed, and the military vehicle finally stopped on a road with a lot of traffic.

There were modern buildings with all kinds of office buildings and commercial buildings on one side of the road, but a white wall that was several meters tall on the other side.

Everything behind it was blocked. Only the red words, “Military Armory No. 64,” could be clearly seen on the door.

“Major Wu, we’ve arrived at the armory,” the cultivators sitting on guard in the front row said on cue.

Wu Mo opened his eyes and followed the two of them to the armory’s heavily-guarded gate.

Wu Mo and the two cultivators showed their documents before they successfully walked in.

After walking through the gate, many buildings appeared around them. They were all factories similar to the Fifth Research Department’s workshops.

There were also trucks carrying materials passing by on the open square. The busy scene was very different from the Research Department’s style.

Although the scenery here was not as pleasant as that at the Fifth Research Department, it gave him a sense of security.

Wu Mo was about to look around, but before he could take a few steps, he saw two men and a woman walking toward him.

The one in the lead was an old man in his 60s. His skin was a little yellow, and he was wearing presbyopic glasses. His hair was a little sparse, and he was wearing a gray robe, but he gave off a scholarly aura.

Next to the old man were two younger people, a man and a woman. The man was about 40 years old, and the woman looked to be in her early 30s. The two seemed to be partners.

“Ahem… I heard that the Fifth Research Department would send someone here today. Why is it a young boy?”

The old man in gray clothes immediately walked forward and sized Wu Mo up, speaking with dissatisfaction.

“He’s hairless and incompetent. The Invisibility Armor and Spirit Wave Sword are important strategic equipment. They should’ve at least sent Professor Liu or Professor Tan!”

The old man curled his lips and shook his head.

The two people on his left and right also spoke soon after.

“Elder Huang, this young man is Wu Mo. He’s the one who developed the two pieces of equipment you just mentioned. He’s the most suitable person to come.”

“Yeah, I heard that this young man had the best score at the exhibition two weeks ago. He’s an important talent.”

Hearing their introduction, Elder Huang had a sudden look of realization.

“Oh… so, you’re the one who’s been in the limelight all this time. Hmm… The Invisibility Armor and laser sword are barely usable, yet they’re too fancy.”

Seeing how reluctant the old man seemed, Wu Mo was suddenly a little speechless.
