Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam?

Chapter 111 Arranging Things For Wu Mo

Wu Mo had an expectant look on his face. He stood up and thanked him, after which he took his luggage and walked downstairs.

He took the elevator and arrived at the Research Department's hall.

Then, he stepped out of the array, which could deflect light and isolate sound.

Wu Mo walked on the road and headed straight for the dormitory located in the southeast.

...

Meanwhile, on the seventh floor of the research building, many researchers had left.

Zhou Jinlong carried the documents to the Information Department, and Xu Wuyue took a look at the time.

He walked quickly to his office, but just as he pushed the door open, he found his daughter, Xu Wanqing, sitting on the couch waiting for him.

"That was quick. Has the new research assistant registered already?" Xu Wanqing sat up on the couch and asked curiously.

Wu Yue placed his documents on the computer table first. Then he sat on the couch as well and softly said, "Yes, he has. I asked him to go back first since he rushed over from Shanglin City. The journey's over 1000 kilometers. He must be tired after such a long ride. Work can be arranged tomorrow."

"Yes." Xu Wanqing nodded.

However, she frowned slightly right after and spoke through gritted teeth. "Father, that assistant called Wu Mo is the top scorer in Shanglin City. What kind of work will you arrange for him tomorrow?"

Looking at his daughter who was a little eccentric, he noticed that she her curiosity had been piqued again. Xu Wuyue smiled helplessly and said, "Have you finished the research that I asked you to do? Your father just came back, but you're already asking all kinds of questions?"

Xu Wuyue felt a headache coming on as he observed his daughter's interested expression.

This daughter of his was good in every way. She was as beautiful and elegant as her mother. Furthermore, she was extremely intelligent and a fast learner.

She had graduated from Qingnan Academy, which was known as the Ivory Tower, at just 18 years old. Moreover, she had obtained close to full marks. Her ability to comprehend forging knowledge was even better than his when he was young.

His daughter, Xu Wanqing, had fulfilled the Research Department's recruitment criteria on her own and became one of his many assistants.

During the whole recruitment process, she never used any personal pull.

Such a beautiful and talented daughter was his pride.

However, she was too curious, which was the only bad thing about her. It was especially so when she saw that a graduate of her age had appeared in the Research Department. She could not help but want to ask around.

"Father... I just graduated from Qingnan Academy in the capital last week. When I came back, you arranged a job for me straight away. Can't I rest for a while?" Xu Wanqing hugged her father's neck and said coquettishly.

"Enough, enough. I really can't win against you," Xu Wuyue said helplessly. He turned his head and looked at his daughter who was behaving like a curious baby.

Her big, watery eyes were filled with anticipation as he looked at her.

"Sigh..."

"Actually, I haven't thought about the specific job that I'm going to assign to Wu Mo. Although he's the only graduate in Shanglin City who obtained a perfect score in his assessment, the forging equipment there is quite different from the military equipment that the Research Department provides to the government. I'm worried that he won't be able to adapt for the time being."

Xu Wuyue gently tapped his fingers on the coffee table as he pondered.

His vague and uncertain answer did not satisfy his daughter, Xu Wanqing.

"Father, you don't have to worry about these problems. Since he was able to become the only candidate who got full marks in the history of Shanglin City's Divine Arms Academy, he'll undoubtedly adapt to the pace here soon enough."

"Besides, his strength isn't inferior to mine. I watched Wu Mo's graduation design and the entire assessment process several times. His ability to adapt to changes and his forging skills have already reached the level of a researcher."

Xu Wanqing continued to speak. "The hammer that Wu Mo forged is excellent in both control as well as offensive and defensive abilities. It can even hold rank in the entire Research Department's top 20 equipment! I really admire his skills."

Speaking of which, Xu Wanqing held her father's hand and said in a pleading tone, "Father, you're good at utilizing people. You should know Wu Mo's strength. Otherwise, you wouldn't have made an exception to recruit him into the Research Department. So, please give him a good project so that he can stimulate his potential here!"

Xu Wanqing's face was serious.

Her words were clear and logical.

However, Xu Wuyue sighed after he heard them.

"Daughter, I know what you're thinking. Actually, I admire that student, Wu Mo, too. His character and abilities can't be weak for him to develop to such an extent in a small satellite city."

At this point, he crossed his hands under his chin with a slight frown and said, "But yesterday, when Little Zhou went to send him the offer letter, our higher-ups have already explained that Wu Mo can't participate in the current main project for the time being...

"Because many projects involve important secrets of the state, as well as information about the invasion of several thousand races outside the city. They contain the secrets of the entire human race. We can't let a student who has just entered the Research Department participate so easily."

Hearing this, Xu Wanqing appeared a little disappointed.

"After all, our Research Department is an important institution of the state. Every Research Department's political background cannot have any flaws. I hope you understand. Your father has no choice either."

Xu Wuyue stood up and looked out the window through the one-way glass in his office.

"After he passes the political background check, it will be much easier for him to participate in major projects."

As he said that, his started to become blank.

At present, the battle between humans and a myriad of races was still ongoing. On the battlefield outside the city, people were constantly dying.

Therefore, they urgently needed more powerful sets of equipment and weapons.

The nine Research Departments in the country shared such an important task, so they had to be careful and not allow any sand to fall into the cracks.

"Father, I know you're in a tough spot, but even if you don't let Wu Mo participate in the important projects, you can't let such a talent stay idle. He's a student who directly forged a Divine weapon. Wasting time in the Research Department is too much of a waste of talent."

At she mentioned this, Xu Wanqing suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, right, Father, I heard that the Research Department has been improving the tenth-generation standard combat suit recently."

Xu Wanqing stood up, and her eyes immediately light up.

Xu Wuyue seemed slightly taken aback. He did not know what his daughter was planning.

Nevertheless, he still nodded and replied, "That's right. More and more powerful foreign races have appeared on the battlefield of ten thousand races. Although the tenth-generation combat suit is light and defensive, it's somewhat unable to deal with the increasingly complicated battle situation. The higher-ups have given this task to our fifth Research Department, hoping to develop an eleventh-generation combat suit within three months."

At this point, he turned to look at his daughter. "But this was from a month ago. Why are you bringing it up now?"

Xu Wuyue looked at his daughter with a doting gaze.

"I'm bringing it up because I think this research project is quite suitable for Wu Mo."

Xu Wanqing placed her hands behind her back and jumped slightly.
