Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam?
Chapter 168 - The Command Room

It was a pity that he had yet to meet the conditions for further upgrades. Otherwise, he would choose to upgrade his workstation to Epic grade immediately.

After taking a deep breath, Wu Mo exited the Divine-grade Forging Space and returned to the guest house in the military area.

He heard the chirping of an unknown bird before he felt a gentle cool breeze blow against his face.

Wu Mo sat down on the couch and continued his unfinished reading.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was night again.

He tried a few new cuisines in the cafeteria that were not available in the fifth Research Department, and he enjoyed the food.

Life in the military region was quiet and peaceful. It was highly suitable for those who wanted to lead a disciplined life.

There were no noisy neighbors there or any children practicing the zither in the early morning. It was very comfortable.

As a distinguished guest, he had the right to stay in the military guest house, but he would have to go back after the exercise.

If one wanted to live there for a long time, one had to fulfill at least two conditions: serve in the military for five years and make a significant contribution to the country.

If an ordinary person wanted to move in, they would need to serve for more than 15 years.

Just based on those conditions, it was obvious that not everyone could stay in the military guest houses.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Wu Mo had already started to read his second book.

He had fully understood the contents of the first book and gained some insights.

The second book was about something he did not know much about, hence Wu Mo decided to read it when he got back.

Late at night, Wu Mo covered himself with the blanket and went to sleep as usual.

The military zone outside his window was still bustling with activity.

Around the battle confrontation area, many staff members were carrying out final tests.

,m They were working hard to broadcast the images and sounds in real time tomorrow.

Over the past two days, important people had been visiting the military region from time to time. Wu Mo did not bother Sun Siqin, who was a busy liaison officer.

In the morning, he took a stroll around the place, and the wind whistled as it circled the military area.

The sky was dark, with the exception of the stars.

Rows of street lights stood on the side of the military area, and occasionally, a few moths could be seen approaching the light.

At the sentry post, the scouts in camouflage uniforms were carrying out their searches professionally.

Meanwhile, the patrols below were operating in an orderly manner, patrolling throughout the night.

At the edge of the sky, however, the main color of darkness was slowly fading.

A trace of marble white appeared and tried to spread in all directions.

Gradually, the dark night was replaced with a blue sky.

In the shrubbery, the tender green sprouts were unable to bear the weight of the morning dew. They bent over from the pressure, dropping the morning dew onto the grass.

The insects and birds also chirped with all their might as they played a new chapter of the day.

Wu Mo had woken up on the big bed at eight in the morning.

He knew that the mock battle would begin today and 9.00 am.

After washing up, he brought his cup to the canteen.

Following a nutritious breakfast, he poured some lemon water into his glass.

On the way to the exercise area, Wu Mo spotted many soldiers in a hurry.

They seemed to be soldiers who were there to observe the exercise.

It did not take long for him to receive a call from his liaison, Sun Siqin.

He then came to one of the eight command rooms that would be used to observe the mock battle.

The command room covered an area of 200 square meters, and there was a huge LCD screen on the wall opposite the door.

The screen was divided into 16 square monitors, which displayed images of various positions in the exercise area.

It would ensure that all the distinguished guests who came to watch could see every detail of the exercise through these images.

Of course, many military reporters had arrived to record the entire exercise.

There were already many people in the command room.

As soon as Wu Mo entered the door, he saw the two leaders who had welcomed him the day before yesterday, Company Commander Zhang and his deputy, Platoon Commander Ren Bin.

The two of them were standing not far away from the screen, smiling and discussing something with the people around them.

Most of the command room had rows of seats.

The two arms commanders were standing around the first row of seats, expressing their different views on the two teams that appeared on the screen.

"Comrade Wu Mo, you're here so early. Come and sit over here."

Company Commander Zhang turned around and saw Mr. Wu standing next to the command room's door. He walked up to him with a warm face and pulled Wu Mo to the first row of seats.

Right then, there were already many people in the command room. The guests and staff who had been invited noticed Company Commander Zhang's warm attitude toward a young man in his twenties.

Furthermore, he had directly invited the young man to sit in the first row. They could not help but be surprised, and they asked the surrounding people what kind of talent the young man had to receive such good treatment.

Although it was only one of the eight command rooms in the mock battle, the first-row seats were usually reserved for higher-ranking leaders and technical talents.

Even if that young man had made great achievements, he was still so young. How could he compete with the military region's core talents?

After all, the two arms commanders and the battalion commander of the Second Battalion were sitting in the first row. There was no one else.

Although Company Commander Zhang and his deputy, Platoon Commander Ren Bin, also had the qualifications to do so, they had been entertaining the guests. Hence, they were not seated.

That young man should not be qualified.

Many people in the command center had their eyes on Wu Mo, and some of them were leaders from the Logistics Department.

They had assumed that Wu Mo would decline the offer. Unexpectedly. the latter sat down directly next to the two commanders.

"Gasp!"

Seeing this, the few people who had been paying attention to Wu Mo were shocked.

One thought to himself, 'This person is too honest and upright.'

By doing so, he completely ignored the strict hierarchy in the military.

Just when they thought that the two commanders would be unhappy about it...

The head of the Research and Development Department actually started to chat with the young man enthusiastically.

"Comrade Wu Mo, we meet again."

Zheng Shaohui, who was the closest to Wu Mo, immediately saw the young man and greeted him warmly.

"Good morning, Department Head Zheng. Sorry for disturbing your demonstration," Wu Mo replied politely.

"It's okay. The drill hasn't started yet. Such combat training involving the red and blue team is rare. I'll take a good look later. Maybe I'll have an epiphany," the head of the Arms Management Department, Chu Yi, who was slightly thinner, immediately said with a smile.

"Okay. If I don't understand anything, I hope that you two can explain it to me, Commanders."

There was nothing surprising about their conversation.

However, it shocked the people around him.

The two department heads were pretty much the top heads of one of the core areas in the entire military region, and their ranks were higher than theirs. There were only a few leaders like them such as the battalion commanders and division commanders.
