Chapter 281 The Red Heart Province's Tank
Chapter 281 The Red Heart Province's Tank
With Wu Mo around, blacksmiths like Gu Hongzhuo did not stand a chance.
As long as Wu Mo's two representative equipment were on stage, they would definitely crush everything from the other blacksmiths!
Right then, Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf were not the only ones who were looking forward to his performance.
The soldiers and leaders who knew Wu Mo felt their hearts beat faster when they saw him leave his seat.
Although they had already seen the power of his equipment, the feeling of novelty and power that made their blood boil were still fascinating!
"Mr. Wu Mo is about to go on stage!"
Chu Li saw Wu Mo walk into the waiting room, and his eyes immediately lit up while he was in his seat. He promptly turned his head and whispered to Bai Li.
"The good things in life are worth waiting for. I guess I didn't come in vain since I get to see Mr. Wu Mo's masterpiece one more time."
Bai Li grinned, and his expression full of anticipation, like a child waiting for candy.
At this moment, several other leaders and blacksmiths who knew Wu Mo felt the same way.
However, only a few people had seen Wu Mo's products. Even though some had heard of the Invisibility Armor or the Spirit Wave Sword, they did not know who had made them.
"The equipment you've forged is compact and portable, but it's not as powerful. There are also some restrictions in its use, so my evaluation is excellent," the principal of Qingnan Academy, Elder Chen, said.
Although the young blacksmith who was the 17th person to go up the stage was not satisfied, he still bowed and thanked him before he quickly walked down the stage.
Lieutenant General Lu Yuansheng, who was sitting in a private room on the second floor, witnessed the same scene.
"This year, there seems to be fewer skilled blacksmiths. After such a long time, only one person has obtained the "outstanding" evaluation." Lu Yuansheng held his chin and said calmly.
However, the head of the exhibition who was sitting opposite Lieutenant General Lu could clearly see the disappointment in his eyes.
"My Lord, don't worry. Right now, only 17 blacksmiths have displayed their skills. There will definitely be more powerful blacksmiths later on," the middle-aged man said with a smile.
"I hope you're right."
Lu Yuansheng glanced at the man before he turned his eyes back to the exhibition's stage.
By now, the blacksmith who had received the excellent evaluation had already walked down the stage. The host in the corner held the name list and announced in a clear voice, "Let's welcome the next blacksmith, Wu Mo from the Fifth Research Department!"
The host's voice reverberated throughout the exhibition venue.
Everyone whispered to each other and began to guess what kind of evaluation this blacksmith would receive.
"Wu Mo? Doesn't the name sound a little familiar?"
"What? I've never heard of him. He's probably just an ordinary graduate student."
"Is he from the Fifth Research Department? Maybe the person on stage has some strength."
Everyone turned their eyes to the waiting room's exit to see who would be the next to go on stage.
However, after waiting for more than 10 seconds, not a single person appeared.
"What's going on? Is he absent?"
"This exhibition is open to the entire province. Who would be so bold to not come?"
Soon, there was a commotion in the venue. Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf were also a little surprised. Did Wu Mo encounter some problems in the waiting room?
Just as the crowd was getting impatient, the huge exhibition stage suddenly rumbled and started shaking.
Seeing that something seemed to be rising in the middle of the stage, their curiosity was immediately piqued.
"What's that? It doesn't look small."
"Ah, isn't that a tank?"
Everyone's eyes focused on a huge, dark brown heavy tank at the center of the stage.
The entire tank had obviously been modified. The surface of the armor reflected a metallic luster, which gave off an extremely hard exterior.
The front of the tank was also equipped with a ram and blade that was more than a meter long.
The ram was extremely sharp, and it could pose a threat to some ferocious beasts.
There were magic arrays drawn on the surface of the tank, and there were obvious fluctuations of spiritual power. The barrel that extended out was not small either, and it looked like it could fire powerful shells!
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, isn't this the heavy hunting tank from the Red Heart province? Displaying Red Heart's cutting-edge technology in this place? Are you here to cause trouble?!"
After the huge tank was completely lifted onto the stage, many sharp-eyed blacksmiths and generals recognized it!
Displaying the Red Heart province's tank in a White River province's exhibition was obviously an attempt to boost the morale of others!
This time, many blacksmiths and soldiers could not sit still anymore. "What kind of background does this guy called Wu Mo have? Is he an informant sent by the Red Heart province?"
"Isn't displaying such a thing at our social gathering destroying our prestige?"
"Interrogate this blacksmith and disqualify him from the competition!"
The commotion in the audience immediately attracted the attention of the three judges and Lieutenant General Lu.
After all, such a thing had never happened in all the years that the exhibition had been held.
Song Yi squinted at the heavy tank on the stage. After a moment, he shook his head and muttered to himself, "Wu Mo is one of Academician Xu's men. It's impossible for him to do anything that would harm the White River province."
"Oh, Elder Song, do you know this blacksmith called Wu Mo?" Yuan Gang, who was frowning at the side, heard Song Yi's words and immediately asked in surprise.
Originally, he had planned to send someone to deal with it, but he was strict about everything. If someone had known about it, he would have known about it in advance too.
Principal Chen looked at Elder Song too, wanting to know what was going on.
"Don't look at me. I remember his name because not long ago, Academician Xu from the Fifth Research Department introduced this young man to me.
"Although I don't know what kind of person this little guy is, his political background is definitely clean," Elder Song added and fell silent.
Yuan Gang and Principal Chen fell into deep thought and continued watching quietly.
"There's definitely a problem. Even if this tank's armor is tough enough to withstand a full-force attack from a Rank 6 beast, it's still technology from the Red Heart province. It's not right to put it on display in our exhibition!"
"That's right. I've also heard that this armor is incredibly difficult to break from the outside, and it has a practical design. But that's not enough reason for Wu Mo to put it on!"
Everyone began to denounce him.
Lu Yuansheng, who was sitting in the private room on the second floor, narrowed his eyes.
"Lord Lu, would you like me to send someone to deal with this?"
Seeing that the leader seemed to be a little angry, the middle-aged man immediately spoke.
He never expected things to turn out this way.
Moreover, the situation could be dire. If Lord Lu got serious, he would be implicated and punished.
"No need. I'd like to see what that researcher called Wu Mo will do with the heavy hunting tanks from the Red Heart province."
