Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam?
Chapter 110 - Fifth Research Department, Registration!

Wu Mo nodded. He now roughly understood the fifth division's layout and classification.

Previously, Mr. Zhou had talked about light-duty individual equipment.

To put it simply, they consisted of cold weapons and light-duty battle armor. Such battle armor sacrificed part of its defensive capabilities to obtain greater flexibility and offensive capabilities.

Usually, it was cultivators on the front lines who needed them the most.

It was just that the fifth division was currently facing an awkward problem. The forging technology for light equipment was already very mature in all aspects. They had already found a balance between the forging cost and the performance of the light armor they produced.

The equipment produced in the past few years covered all of those types and had basically reached an unresearched stage.

Since the representative products that could be assembled on a large scale had not been produced in the past two years, the fifth branch had been gradually marginalized.

Compared with the other branches it was not just a little bit inferior.

Although the fifth branch had forged many excellent Divine weapons, as well as armor, in the past and had once been at its peak, those were achievements of the past.

That did not change the fact that the fifth division was past its glory days.

"We're almost there."

Mr. Zhou pointed at an eight-story research building not far away.

Wu Mo raised his head to look, and when he saw the scene before him, his pupils constricted. He was instantly shocked.

The research building was eight stories tall, and it resembled a miniature spiral tower.

The decorations and windows on the outside of the building seemed distorted, giving off a surreal feeling.

As he got a closer view, he noticed that the eight-story research building seemed to be rotating slightly. That made it impossible for people to see the situation inside.

"This is just a Secret-protection Array. The facilities inside are all normal."

After Mr. Zhou finished his introduction, he took the lead and walked in.

The array outside distorted a little. In the next second, Zhou Jinlong was "trapped" inside, and he completely disappeared from Wu Mo's sight.

"Distorted light... interesting."

Wu Mo raised his eyebrows and showed great interest.

He slowly stretched out his hand. He felt as if he had touched something, but he could not see what his finger touched in front of him.

Seeing this scene, he was a little curious and immediately walked up.

Bo'er...

A strange sound rang out, and the next thing Wu Mo knew, he had entered the array.

He was now standing in an empty space in front of the Research Department's building.

He then pushed open the imposing, black titanium-drawn glass door. The Research Department's hall was filled with people, and the sounds of discussion among the many researchers immediately entered his ears.

Wu Mo followed Mr. Zhou from behind, and the two of them took the elevator to the seventh floor.

The Research Department's work area was bigger than the office buildings of famous companies. Not only was everyone equipped with a professional forging room, but there was also a special testing area and various accessories for the researchers to test the properties and effects of equipment that had just been forged.

The entire office area on the seventh floor was bright and beautiful. On top of that, there was a resting area where they could exercise and relax.

With these conditions, one could say that it completely surpassed those companies that claimed to be enterprises!

Wu Mo walked toward the corridor as he looked at the smooth glass on both sides and the scenery below. He had only taken a few steps when he saw a few researchers wearing lab coats and an academician wearing a uniform and epaulets walking out.

Seeing this, Zhou Jinlong immediately walked up to them and introduced Wu Mo a face full of joy. "Sir, this student is Wu Mo, the one I told you about before. I've brought him here to report for duty!"

Wu Mo promptly stepped forward and introduced himself with a straight face as well.

"Hello, Seniors. I'm a student from Shanglin City's Divine Arms Academy. My name is Wu Mo. I'm here to report to the Research Department today. If there is anything that I don't understand in the future, I hope that I can consult you, Seniors!"

The few researchers swept their gaze over Wu Mo, and their expressions were filled with bewilderment and shock.

They had worked in the fifth division for seven to eight years, but they had never seen such a young blacksmith report to the department. Could it be that his strength had already reached the level of a five-star blacksmith?

With questions in their minds, they listened to him patiently.

"Haha, Wu Mo... He really lives up to his name. He has the air of a scholar. Come and welcome him. Little Zhou, help me register his information for the report. We'll have a chat with Wu Mo."

Xu Wuyue smiled and nodded. Then, he immediately brought Wu Mo to the office area.

The office area was filled with many professional equipment and a conference room for discussion.

There was a circle of beige leather couches in the middle that could seat more than a dozen people.

Wu Mo nodded politely and sat down with ease.

Many of the middle-aged researchers who had achievements in different fields looked at Wu Mo with admiration.

They had been in the Research Department for more than 10 years, and the youngest among them was a 28-year-old professor.

In all their years, they had never seen such a young blacksmith.

As the researchers gazed at him, Wu Mo felt a little uncomfortable. He looked at Zhou Jinlong, who was standing not far away. At that moment, Zhou Jinlong was sitting in front of the table with his head lowered, beginning to register his information.

"From today onward, you are a member of the fifth Research Department. Your temporary position is as an assistant researcher. Your won't be too busy with your usual work, and I'll give you enough time to study."

Wu Mo's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately sat up straight. "Thank you for your recognition. I'll definitely work hard to create value in my future work."

Seeing Wu Mo's expression, which looked like he was about to carry out a military order, Xu Wuyue cheerfully said, "I heard from Little Zhou that you're very fond of the knowledge in the field of casting arrays. Now that you're here, don't be reserved. You can freely read the notebooks in the internal reference room. If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me or Little Zhou."

As soon as Xu Wuyue finished speaking, the researchers who were sitting around them all revealed surprised gazes. They did not know how capable Wu Mo was to have such a high level of security clearance after entering the Research Department.

Generally speaking, blacksmiths who were qualified to join the Research Department had to work for at least half a year before they were qualified to enter the internal reference room.

This was because the internal reference room was considered a place that required a high level of authority in the entire Research Department. At the same time, since it contained a large amount of knowledge and notes, as well as related books by master blacksmiths, ordinary people were not allowed to enter.

Unless one obtained their superior's permission, one would not be able to enter the internal reference room.

Thinking of this, everyone could not help but sigh in their hearts.

It seemed that Academician Xu had high hopes for this student, Wu Mo.

Everyone nodded slightly. Right then, Zhou Jinlong had already registered Wu Mo's information and stored it in the information management file.

"Alright, now that your registration has been completed, you should go back and rest early. After all, the journey was quite tiring. As for work, you should wait until tomorrow and adjust before you start!" Xu Wuyue stood up and said with a gentle gaze.
