“Anyway, the standard combat suit is a fully-developed product. The first version appeared more than 10 years ago, and it didn’t have any important core technology. It just had a regular upgrade with some additional functions.”

Thinking of it, a smile appeared on Xu Wanqing’s face.

“Anyway, I remember there being many research groups developing the eleventh-generation battle suit to catch up with the schedule. It wouldn’t matter even if Wu Mo was added, right?!”

Looking at his daughter’s sparkling eyes and expectant gaze, Xu Wuyue shook his head with a bitter smile. “You child. Are you so afraid that Wu Mo will be idle? The higher-ups have very high requirements for the eleventh-generation standard combat suit. Not only does it have to provide easy concealment, but it also requires multi-functional battle modules.”

When Xu Wuyue spoke about it, he appeared slightly worried.

“The forging and design of such a multi-functional combat suit is challenges a blacksmith’s foundation and design ability greatly. Forget a research assistant like Wu Mo who just arrived, even those veteran researchers would find it very difficult to develop it in a short period of time.

“Wu Mo has only started, and he’s also almost a month behind the other teams. I’m afraid that if this fails, it will affect the kid’s confidence.”

As soon as Xu Wuyue finished speaking, Xu Wanqing, who was standing at the side, had already sat down at the computer desk. She turned on the computer skillfully and pulled out the design list that her superior had issued a month ago.

Reading the string of basic values and the requirements for improvement, even Xu Wanqing herself felt her scalp go slightly numb.

“Hmm, although it’s a little difficult, I believe that Wu Mo should be able to do it. After all, he’s someone who has forged a Divine artifact.”

Seeing that his daughter was being stubborn, Xu Wuyue could only agree.

“Alright, let’s just treat this project as a practice for Wu Mo. Even if it fails, it won’t matter.”

Following a few seconds of thought, Xu Wuyue decided to agree to his daughter’s request and test Wu Mo’s adaptability.

“Hehe, I knew that my father’s the most open-minded person. Actually, I’m doing this just to see his strength and see if he’s better than me in the field of forging.”

Xu Wanqing’s vermillion lips parted slightly as she spoke with a mischievous expression.

…

At that moment, Wu Mo, who was walking on the road, did not expect that in just ten minutes, someone from the Research Department had already dug a hole for him.

After walking for about seven to eight minutes, Wu Mo passed by several research buildings. He brushed past the lush shrubs and plants by the path before finally arriving at the dormitories.

However, when Wu Mo saw the dormitory in front of him, he immediately wanted to ridicule it.

Rather than calling this a dormitory area, it would be more accurate to say it was an independent small villa.

The villa was surrounded by greenery, rocks, and flowing water. There was also a spacious courtyard attached to it. With such high-standard configurations, Wu Mo did not expect the villa to actually be used as research dormitories.

The villa’s yard door was tightly shut, but there was a facial recognition machine placed on the side. Wu Mo only glanced at it before the yard door carved with auspicious clouds automatically opened.

The small yard covered an area of about 40 square meters. There were flowers and plants on both sides, along with signs of maintenance.

After Wu Mo went up three stone steps, he pushed the door open with his luggage and walked into the hall.

The entire hall was clean and tidy, as well as magnificent and bright, while its the decoration leaned toward the Chinese style.

In addition, the marble floor with elegant patterns reflected the light above his head. The wind shook the chandelier slightly, and the wind chimes by the door were also gently moved by the inertia, creating a pleasant sound.

It was a two-story villa with an overall area was about 150 square meters. All kinds of furniture were available. There was a gray leather couch in the hall, and the dining table next to it was simple and high-class. It was not inferior to what one might see in five-star hotels.

The kitchen had a range hood, a stove with two burners, a refrigerator, and a microwave oven, whereas the bathroom was separated into three sections: the wet area, the dry area, and a separate shower.

Its specifications were full, and it was even better than what Mr. Zhou had promised him.

Wu Mo only took a few glances before he went to the bedroom. He pushed the door open, walked in, and later hung the clothes in his suitcase in the cupboard.

Although the villa he was assigned to was in great condition, Wu Mo did not really care. In his opinion, having a warm and comfortable little home was enough.

He was, instead, looking forward to visiting the Research Department’s internal reference room to study and read the master blacksmiths’ notes, as well as related books.

The day before yesterday, he had exchanged his points for a book related to arrays in the system, but there had not been a lot of time for him to read it in the past two days.

While he had a lot of time on the helicopter to the capital, he did not dare display the book in front of others because there were many cultivators and his instructor, Zhou Jinlong.

After all, he had spent 1000 points to obtain that book. It should be very rare in reality.

He took out all the things in his suitcase and placed the sundries on the table.

Once that was done, he was ready to return to the Research Department.

Even though Academician Xu had told him to rest for the day and start work tomorrow, Wu Mo still felt that he should familiarize himself with the place and avoid making low-level mistakes in tomorrow’s work.

With that in mind, he put on his coat and walked out the door.

As he walked down the steps, he came to the lush courtyard.

When he raised his head, he saw a black business car parked outside the door.

Wu Mo looked a little puzzled. He then opened the door and made his way out of the courtyard, entering the open space in front of the villa. At that moment, someone opened the car’s door.

A 1.7-meter-tall girl walked out from within. She was a 90, looks wise.

The girl was around 25 years old. She was wearing a slim-fit office suit, and her silky black hair fell over her shoulders. Her facial features were distinct, and her bright eyes had a hint of charm.

She was holding a folder with a blue cover in her hand as she walked over quickly in turquoise high heels.

“Hello, are you Wu Mo, the new research assistant today?” the girl nodded slightly at Wu Mo and asked politely.

“Yes, you are?”

Wu Mo was a little suspicious. It was his first day there. Aside from Academician Xu and Mr. Zhou, how could anyone else in the Research Department know him?

“Hello, my name is Luo Ning. I’m your project assistant. Academician Xu has just arranged a project for you. I’ll go to the information office with you to get the details. The project number is B-3981,” Luo Ning said seriously as she held out the folder.

Wu Mo accepted the folder and opened it.

He found a copy of the project request form within. The lower right corner of the request form also had the Strategic Deployment Agency’s seal.

Since the front lines on the battlefield of ten thousand races was tight, and the old combat suits could not cope with the complicated and difficult situation, the Strategic Deployment Agency decided to carry out a comprehensive overhaul of the ninth-generation combat suit.

The fifth Research Department was requested to attach importance to the order and face the difficulties head-on so that the new tenth-generation combat suits could be developed within three months.
