Growl…

Wu Mo suddenly stood up, his expression filled with excitement.

“It’s possible to improve it like that? Those master blacksmiths really have a profound way of thinking. They’ve solved many problems this way!” he subconsciously muttered.

He was just about to enter the Divine-grade Forging Space to experiment, but he had not even eaten lunch yet, and his legs were feeling somewhat weak.

“Forget it, let’s go to the cafeteria to eat something first.”

Rubbing his protesting stomach, Wu Mo had to suppress his desire to try things out immediately and walk to the cafeteria not far away.

It was past three o’clock in the afternoon. Since he had missed the peak period, there were only a few people in the cafeteria at the moment.

Wu Mo sat in a corner of the canteen, writing and drawing on the table with his wet index finger as if he was thinking.

In other people’s eyes, it just seemed like a childish thing to do. However, right then, Wu Mo was still immersed in the idea of improving the Invisibility Armor. He was working on it bit by bit on the table according to the opinions given by the forging masters.

From Wu Mo’s point of view, what was on the table was not a water stain, but a display screen that was calculating data in real-time. Every drop of water and line represented a huge amount of information that he had to constantly improve.

“Your dishes are ready.”

Soon, two dishes and a bowl of rice were placed on the table, which completely interrupted Wu Mo’s thoughts.

“Oh, thank you.”

Wu Mo thanked the man politely. When he turned around and saw that the water patterns had been destroyed beyond recognition, he could only sigh and pick up his chopsticks to eat.

Today’s lunch consisted of hot tomato scrambled eggs and spicy chicken, but Wu Mo was not in the mood to enjoy the food.

All he could think about was how to improve the Invisibility Armor. He just wanted to fill his stomach and go back to verifying his ideas.

He finished all the food in about 10 minutes.

Then, he wiped his mouth with a napkin and walked out of the cafeteria in a hurry.

The waiter saw him rushing and could not help but shake his head. What a strange person.

Wu Mo left the cafeteria and quickly returned home.

He closed the courtyard door first before he immediately returned to his bedroom on the second floor.

Sitting on the bed, he gradually closed his eyes and calmed his mind.

However, the process of entering the forging space this time was particularly long. After a full 10 seconds, Wu Mo finally stopped sensing his hearing and touch.

Perhaps he was too excited, so much so that he could not calm down in a short time.

He opened his eyes and looked at the gray mist and the familiar work table in front of him.

Wu Wo immediately took out the special document from his Interspatial Ring and began a new round of experiments, as well as determining the general direction of improvement.

He first carried out gradual experiments according to the improvement suggestions given by the master blacksmiths, slowly adjusting some weak areas while balancing the values.

The first step was to adjust the Invisibility Armor’s size to make it more flexible so that it could be used by most cultivators. It would be lighter as a result.

As for the size, the Military Department from the western theater of operations had already given him a numerical range. Provided that the waist and sleeve length were well controlled, the corresponding effect could be achieved.

Then came the problem of infrared cloaking. This required the use of a certain film material that covered the gap between the composite cloth and the wings so that it could achieve the effect of invisibility under the perception of infrared.

However, improvement was a long-term thing. It was difficult to see results in a short time. Wu Mo was not in that much of a hurry. Instead, he focused on studying it step by step.

After an unknown amount of time, Wu Mo’s spirit started to feel a little tired.

He knew that things could not be done overnight. Most improvements could only be completed with sufficient materials.

Thinking of this, Wu Mo immediately quietened his mind and slowly left the forging space where there was no concept of time.

He returned to his bedroom.

Although it was only a little over four in the afternoon, mental fatigue was coming over him in like a tide.

Wu Mo stretched lazily and washed up as fast as he could before he went back to bed.

Perhaps the questions in his heart had been answered, or perhaps he was too tired, but he fell asleep very quickly on the bed.

The sky outside the window grew dark, and the breeze blew the leaves gently in the quiet courtyard.

Occasionally, researchers in white lab coats would rush past the lush, green streets.

Everything was in order as usual.

….

The next morning, Wu Mo was in the yard, reading a book that he had almost memorized.

He lay back in the chair, bored and passively enjoying the sun.

He had actually woken up very early this morning.

Maybe since he had fallen asleep at five o’clock in the evening, he was awake before four in the morning.

He could not sleep anymore. Feeling refreshed, he simply ran around his house.

After enjoying that satisfying feeling that he had not felt for a long time, he went to the cafeteria to have a good breakfast.

When he returned to his villa, it was only eight o ‘clock. Since the quota for the internal reference room was only restored every Monday, he felt bored and had to pick up his book again.

He continued reading until around 9.30 am.

Now that there was nothing to see, Wu Mo started to consider whether he should forge something so that Mjolnir would not be left in the corner of the Interspatial Ring.

Although the independent space would not age or turn things into ashes, Wu Mo always felt that his connection to Mjolnir would be a bit rusty if he did not use it for a while.

However, just as he was about to carry out his plan, he saw a familiar black business car stop in front of his door.

Wu Mo put down his book and stood up from the recliner. He immediately noticed Zhou Ning, who was getting out of the car, and Academician Xu, whom he had just met yesterday.

Wu Mo was a little surprised. He quickly went forward to open the courtyard door and curiously asked, “Academician Xu, Assistant Zhou, what brings you here?”

“I have a mission for you, of course.”

Zhou Ning walked forward with a smile and handed the young man a blue-covered folder.

“Second Lieutenant Wu, it’s only been a few days since we last met, but your reputation is getting bigger and bigger.”

Wu Mo felt a little embarrassed when he heard Zhou Ning’s teasing tone.

He had not gotten used to his new identity and had always felt that he was just an unremarkable new recruit.

Fortunately, the news did not spread widely because of the project’s confidential nature. It was likely that only a small number of people in the fifth Research Department knew about it.

As for Zhou Ning, she was in charge of managing the project files. Furthermore, every file contained detailed information, so she naturally noticed the change in Wu Mo’s military rank.

“Zhou Ning, it’s good that you’re aware of this, but don’t say it out loud in public. It’ll only add to Wu Mo’s stress.”

Academician Xu, who was standing on the side, shook his head helplessly and immediately warned her.

Since Academician Xu had spoken, Zhou Ning did not dare to say no. She obediently nodded in a hurry.
