Chapter 97: You Want Me to Compete With the King? Ah, You Sc*m!

Everyone felt a strong wave of Versailles coming over them, especially when they heard Wu Mo say that he was not interested in those things.

Wu Mo filtered the envious and jealous gazes from everyone when he saw them.

With a straight face, he said to Researcher Zhou Jinlong, who was in front of him, “They did offer me a lot of benefits and a very good salary, but my mind is still on the academic side. In the field of forging, my strength still has a lot of room for improvement. I want to take advantage of this time to learn more.

“I don’t want to enter the field of commercial monetization so early.”

!!

These were all areas that Wu Mo had considered in his heart. He was speaking the truth.

However, none of the reporters and media people around him believed it.

When Zhou Jinlong heard his response, he slowly retracted his gaze and spoke with a face full of praise. “Excellent. It’s very important to maintain your original intention. You can take the initiative to absorb new knowledge in the field of forging. That’s already better than most students.

“Now, I’m inviting you to join the National Artifact Research Department. I’ve already prepared the application. Don’t fret about the benefits that those IoT companies promised you previously. Our Research Department doesn’t lack a single cent!”

Zhou Jinlong patted Wu Mo on the shoulder. “Besides, our Research Department will give you reference and reading rights to the internal reference room. You’ll receive the best development there!”

Hearing Zhou Jinlong’s words, Wu Mo’s eyes lit up, and his heart started to stir.

Back when he was forging Mjolnir, he had suffered a lot and taken a lot of detours because he did not have enough knowledge reserves.

If he could come into contact with relevant knowledge, that process would definitely be much easier

Moreover, the Research Department had a seven-star blacksmith overseeing it. If he faced any difficulties, he should be able to ask a few questions.

At that moment, Wu Mo was somewhat moved. He had wanted to go to the Research Department, anyway. Unfortunately, he did not meet the requirements for the Research Department to recruit him.

Now that he had been invited and formally offered an engagement letter, there was no reason for him to refuse!

However, Wu Mo was not the only excited one.

Even the cultivators standing behind Zhou Jinlong were extremely surprised right then.

One should know that the internal reference room had more than just high-level foundry knowledge. There were also many national defense secrets, as well as notes left behind by all the outstanding forging masters in history. All that knowledge had always been one of the Research Department’s most precious assets.

Was it wise to give a research assistant such authority so easily?

“Mr. Zhou, thank you. I accept your offer letter!”

Outside the auditorium’s main entrance, Wu Mo received the heavy offer letter with a serious expression.

Zhou Jinlong grinned. The heavy burden in his heart was finally lifted.

Seeing the letter being handed, the official media reporters, who were standing by, immediately widened their eyes.

“D*mn, for the high-and-mighty Research Department to offer such a generous treatment… What kind of genius is this student?!”

The reporter looked a little embarrassed.

Earlier, she had mentioned that the employment situation this year was grim. Was this not a slap to her face?

Thinking of her own mistake, she immediately apologized to the audience in the live broadcast.

“I’m sorry. We were wrong about the situation just now. It seems that the employment situation for new graduates is much better than we imagined.”

As she spoke, she saw other students walking out of the door, so she immediately went forward to continue her interview.

She thought that there was a change in policy this year and it was easier for all students to find jobs.

She immediately found a student who was carrying his graduation project on his back. “Examinee, you should have found a good job by now, right? How many famous companies have sent you offers? Can you share with us?” she asked with a smile.

Jing Yuan was walking out through the gate dejectedly. He was already in a bad mood when a microphone suddenly appeared in front of him.

He was a little stunned at first, but when he heard the reporter’s sarcastic remarks, his anger immediately flared up.

If it were not for the large number of people and the fact that the camera was recording, he would have stuffed the microphone into the reporter’s mouth.

What nonsense was she talking about?

“What offer? I can’t even find a job right now,” he said unhappily.

Just as he was about to leave, the reporter stopped him.

“How can that be? I heard from the examinee in front that the company heads this year are very enthusiastic. Furthermore, someone from the National Artifact Research Department offered him an employment contract. This year’s job prospects should be better than the previous year’s, right?!”

The reporter was a little puzzled, and she immediately spoke up.

Jing Yuan raised his head with a dumbfounded expression and followed the reporter’s line of sight.

The examinee she was referring to was actually Wu Mo.

When he saw Wu Mo’s well-defined and handsome face, Jing Yuan’s heart was filled with anger.

He instantly felt like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He stomped his feet and shouted, “That f*cking horse is Wu Mo, the strongest rookie king who made history and forged a Divine weapon. Who do you think I am? You want me to compete with him?”

He could not help but swear. His bad temper was not to be blame. This reporter was too much of a bully!

Seeing the student in front of her leave with a face full of anger, the reporter finally came to a realization.

D*mn it. The employment situation this year was not too good. That freshman named Wu Mo was just too strong.

She did not know whether to laugh or cry. Her two interviews had such a huge contrast that it created a dramatic scene.

On top of that, she was live, and the interview was being televised.

That made the matter bigger!

The footage of her two interviews were directly uploaded onto the Internet, causing countless netizens to have a heated discussion.

The trending searches were even more difficult to stop.

It was the same in the live stream chat at that moment. Looking at the bullet comments that continuously flashed on her phone, the corners of the reporter’s eyes unwittingly twitched.

“Is this the world of the strong? We ordinary people can never reach such heights in our entire lives!”

“So it’s not that we were wrong. It’s that student named Wu Mo who’s too strong.”

“For the strong, the employment situation is great every year.”

“I saw the second student’s face turn black. The more I think about it, the angrier I get.”

“I’m dying of laughter. This is going to be a lot of fun!”

Everyone expressed their opinions one after another. The reporter was embarrassed by the bullet comments and had no choice but to hurriedly end the interview.

Zhou Jinlong noticed that it was getting late. Plus, he had achieved his objective, so there was no need to stay any longer. He then waved his hand at Wu Mo. “Alright, I’m relieved to hear your words. Take care of your matters for the next few days. I’ll bring you to the Research Department in three days. It’s getting late, so you should go back earlier!”

Wu Mo nodded. He was looking forward to the upcoming trip to the Research Department.

Jiang Mengyao, who was standing at the side, politely waved goodbye to him as well.

“Okay, thank you, Mr. Zhou.”

The two of them looked at Zhou Jinlong as he got into the SUV and left. Both of them smiled at the same time.

“Mr. Zhou looks a little cold, but he’s actually a very nice person.”

Wu Mo agreed with Jiang Mengyao’s point.
