Chapter 138: Professor Liu’s Olive Branch

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Everything that Wu Mo had done had been based on his own strength without the slightest exaggeration.

When Xu Wuyue thought of that, he could not help but clench his fists and stare at Wu Mo.

At that moment, he realized that he had overstepped his authority and given Little Zhou permission to give Wu Mo an offer letter. It was a brilliant decision.

If Zhou Jinlong had reported it to the higher-ups, it would have been very difficult for Wu Mo, a mere four-star blacksmith at that time, to pass the test and enter the Research Department.

His seemingly bold move had brought such a peerless genius into the fifth Research Department.

However, Wu Mo had done everything on his own. When Wu Mo arrived at the test field, he doubted the boy’s ability, making a fatal mistake.

Just as he thought about how to improve their rigid relationship, Professor Liu, who was sitting at the side, suddenly said, “Wu Mo, you are fully qualified to be a researcher with your current forging skills. It just so happens that I have a good project. If you’re free later, you can come to our group.”

Professor Liu walked toward Wu Mo with a smiling and amiable face. Was he planning something?

Wu Mo was at a loss as he allowed Professor Liu to pull him aside.

“Professor Liu, what would like from me?” he asked tentatively, feeling a little puzzled.

“Hehe, Wu Mo, this old man spoke a little harshly before. I didn’t wait to see your armor’s actual test data and misunderstood your attitude. I apologize for that.”

Professor Liu looked at Wu Mo and explained somewhat embarrassedly.

Wu Mo immediately waved his hand, indicating that he did not care.

“Hmm… I knew it. Wu Mo, you’re magnanimous. You definitely won’t argue with an old man like me. Oh, right, what I said to you earlier, would you consider it?”

Seeing that Professor Liu’s attitude toward him had taken a 180-degree turn, Wu Mo felt a little helpless. Although he was only a graduate student, he was still under Academician Xu.

It was not that easy to change posts.

Moreover, it was quite good for him to stay. The research building had sophisticated experimental equipment and research rooms for use, so staying was not a bad option.

Professor Liu noticed that Wu Mo seemed to be frowning slightly and thinking about the pros and cons. He got anxious and immediately said, “Wu Mo, if you’re willing to come to our side and conduct research, I definitely won’t let you down in terms of welfare and salary.”

Professor Liu was a little emotional at the moment. He had always loved money like it was his life. Whenever he saw talents and unpolished gems, he would lose control and want to recruit them into his team.

Besides, he had realized the value of stealth armor in just ten short minutes, and his love for Wu Mo was beyond words.

“Thank you, Professor Liu, for your appreciation and invitation, but I have no intention of leaving for the time being. Academician Xu has been kind to me. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have had the chance to enter the Research Department.

“As for the forging ideas and the various difficulties involved in the invisibility campaign, once the dust settles, I’ll share all of them to help the cultivators on the battlefield.”

Wu Mo’s attitude was neither servile nor overbearing as he spoke in a flat tone.

It was as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

When Professor Liu heard this, his heart was even more shaken.

Any other person with such powerful technology in his hands would definitely keep it hidden in his heart. With this technology, the imperial family might be able to live the rest of their lives just by relying on knowledge that others did not know.

However, Wu Mo was willing to share it without holding anything back. His academic spirit was already noteworthy; the countless researchers in the fifth division should learn from him!

At that moment, Professor Liu gazed at Wu Mo with more appreciation and grew fonder of him.

Not only was Wu Mo’s forging knowledge powerful, but his academic philosophy was also extremely transparent.

He could almost foresee that Wu Mo’s development in the future would definitely not be simple!

“Huh…”

“When did Professor Liu become so amiable?”

Next to the device, Zhou Ning was surprised when she saw Professor Liu laughing and chatting with Wu Mo.

However, Wu Mo was the one who shocked her the most in the whole process.

Now, she had completely seen Wu Mo’s true strength.

She finally understood why Wu Mo was full of confidence when he accepted the commission.

Perhaps Wu Mo already had a suitable improvement plan back then.

During the examination, Wu Mo displayed strong forging ability, so it was no surprise that Professor Liu was showing his appreciation.

Feng Qi and Lai Hua looked at Wu Mo enviously as Professor Liu pulled him away.

By now, Wei Lan’s mind had gradually calmed down. He felt that this trip was really worth it.

He actually witnessed such a strong graduate student.

If Academician Xu and Professor Liu could properly nurture him, this young man might be able to grow into a powerhouse like the two of them in the future.

…

“Wu Mo, are you really not going to consider it? If Academician Xu finds it troublesome, I can help you take care of things!” Professor Liu said in a corner of the testing field, a little unwilling to give up.

Professor Liu tried to reason with Wu Mo to pull him into his team. He was reluctant to let this go.

However, from Wu Mo’s point of view, although both Academician Xu and Professor Liu were leading figures in the fifth division, there was quite a big gap in their research direction.

Professor Liu’s strength may not have been low, but his research was more theoretical, and he was mainly responsible for the development of modularity.

Academician Xu was in charge of actual combat. He was in charge of improving off-the-shelf equipment and conquering certain shortcomings.

At this point, Wu Mo wanted to stay in the research building to learn from Academician Xu.

“Professor Liu, I appreciate your kindness. I plan to stay by Academician Xu’s side for a period of time, but I will continue to seek advice from you in the future. I hope you will take care of me when the time comes,” Wu Mo said with a smile.

Seeing that Wu Mo had made up his mind, Professor Liu sighed internally.

Nevertheless, he replied with a smile, “Don’t worry. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can come to me anytime. I have high hopes for you, so keep working hard.”

Professor Liu patted Wu Mo’s shoulder with a regretful expression.

The more he looked at Wu Mo, the more he liked him. Wu Mo’s strength was first-rate, and his character was outstanding as well.

In comparison, his last few disciples seemed much more mediocre. They were no longer as attractive.

After bidding farewell to Professor Liu, Wu Mo returned to the crowd and waited for the big leader’s assessment.

Wei Lan nodded and immediately said, “Wu Mo, your strength has undoubtedly been witnessed by everyone present. You are the most outstanding member of the team. Despite that, I hope you can continue to work hard and achieve more technical breakthroughs in the field of forging!”

Wu Mo nodded and looked at Minister Wei with a determined gaze.
