“Sigh…”

Manager Gao sighed and said with a smile, “Elder Song, do you think I have any other choice at this point? Rather than letting others do whatever they want, it’s better to have faith and risk it all!”

“In addition, you were also there when Mr. Wu traded the Interspatial Ring. You know Mr. Wu’s strength better than I do, right? Who can compete with the other blacksmiths hired by our Treasure Pavilion?”

Listening to Manager Gao’s line of questioning, Elder Song laughed helplessly and bitterly.

“The young man is indeed more skilled than anyone here, but he’s too young. I’m afraid he’s a step behind!”

Manager Gao did not say anything else. He just looked in the door’s direction, his gaze somewhat absent-minded.

Elsewhere, Wu Mo returned to his single dormitory.

He cooked a meal to fill his stomach first, then took out his phone and started searching for information.

When he discovered that there was an unusual lack of entertainment items such as games and movies on the Internet on the blue planet, he finally understood why the discussions in class were always about casting and gossip.

In this parallel world, there was no such thing as a MOBA game, let alone equipment with different attributes.

Due to the limited creativity of the blacksmiths, most of their equipment’s characteristics and styles were highly similar.

At this moment, Wu Mo understood. When he presented the Interspatial Ring in Treasure Pavilion, those people were shocked. It turned out that there had never been equipment similar to an Interspatial Ring in this world.

As he thought about it, Wu Mo could not help but reveal an excited smile.

Right then, he had a wish in his heart: he would replicate most of the famous equipment on Earth in this world!

If he could achieve his goal one day, he would probably not be far from reaching the apex of the world.

He allowed himself to think freely for a while. Ten minutes later, Wu Mo gently stroked the ring and placed the rare materials he had just obtained from Treasure Pavilion on the table.

There was Green Leopard skin, a Dust-purifying Stone, and Qilin Grass. Each of these materials was worth more than ¥500,000. An ordinary blacksmith would not be able to afford them.

In the entire Divine Arms Academy, only a very small number of disciples from aristocratic families could afford these materials.

Wu Mo looked at the materials on the coffee table that were giving off different colors of light, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up into a confident smile.

He slowly closed his eyes and subconsciously uttered the following words in his heart, ‘Enter the Divine-grade Forging Space!”

In the next moment, his senses were cut off, and when he opened his eyes, there was only chaos before him.

“Let’s begin. Today, I have to at least draw the equipment’s design blueprint.”

Looking at the workbench in front of him, which was filled with materials, Wu Mo’s entire body was filled with energy. He picked up the last set of forging paper and pen and begin drawing without any hesitation.

As Wu Mo splashed ink on the workbench, he thought about the specific style of his equipment.

His opponent was using a Premium-grade Soft Golden Silk Armor in the competition. Although its defense was good, the short staff that he had forged earlier could directly counter it. After all, its piercing effect could negate the defense of other weapons, including Premium-grade ones.

So now, he only needed to forge something that could defend against multiple types of damage.

Those guys from Unique Treasure Hall might deploy some sinister moves, and they had even specified that the blacksmith should wear some type of equipment to compete on stage.

It was obvious that they were digging a hole for him to jump into.

Therefore, Wu Mo had to make a complete plan. The arena was no joke, and danger could appear at any time. He did not want to risk his life.

‘It looks like I need to forge a piece of equipment that can protect me from all kinds of attacks. Those guys could do anything,’ Wu Mo muttered in his heart.

His hand froze for a moment as he held the forging pen.

Following his train of thought, Wu Mo recalled many types of equipment that had appeared in many Earth games.

However, those equipment were either too strong and impossible to forge at the moment, or their effects did not quite match.

Just like that, Wu Mo became immersed in his thoughts until the image of a silver cloak flashed through his mind.

When he considered the effects of the cloak, Wu Mo’s eyes lit up, and he immediately had an answer in his heart.

He started writing smoothly right away and began to look forward to what would happen in a week’s time.

As long as he could successfully refine it, defeating those fellows from Unique Treasure Hall would be as easy as flipping his hand.

With that, Wu Mo worked hard to draw the equipment’s design because it was his first time forging Premium-grade defensive equipment.

He failed more than ten times before he managed to complete drawing the silver cloak’s design.

As he gazed at the cloak’s shining appearance on the casting paper, Wu Mo’s confidence increased once more!

After he obtained the system, he had only spent a few days improving his ability to the point where he could forge Premium-grade equipment. He could feel that if he participated in the assessment now, his strength would definitely surpass the four-star level.

Although a lot of it was thanks to the system, Wu Mo’s training was also a big reason for his increase in strength.

“I can start casting the rough shape tomorrow.”

Wu Mo kept the design and promptly left the Forging Space.

While less than ten minutes had passed in the real world, Wu Mo’s spirit was already exhausted.

He did not feel as drowsy as before, but he still could not last any longer in the space.

Such exhaustion might be completely eliminated after his strength reached five stars.

Once he got to this point, Wu Mo felt his eyelids grow heavier and heavier before he fell asleep.

A wave of even breathing sounds followed, and the entire single dormitory gradually quietened down.

Only the scattered chirps of birds could be heard from outside the window.

However, at this time, the entire Divine Arms Academy was not calm. News of the two major chambers of commerce having a competition at noon had been spreading through various groups.

There were also many media reports and recorded footage online.

The ones who enjoyed it the most were those in Wu Mo’s class.

Their enthusiasm for the discussion had already reached 99% in ten minutes before they read the news.

“This is big news. Our classmate, Wu Mo, is actually on Shanglin City’s official website. He’s about to become popular!”

“I can’t figure it out. Why are the two stores holding a competition? They’re simply causing our academy trouble. Treasure Pavilion is already crowded enough as it is. With such publicity, it’ll be even worse.”

“Right now, it’s still not certain which between the two chambers of commerce will win. Besides, have you seen the video? Our classmate, Wu Mo, even added a bet. The loser will have to withdraw from the market!”

“That guy’s too bold. What’s going on with Treasure Pavilion? They actually trust a person with a debt of ¥1,000,000. This is too much.”

“I think it’s all just hype. Those guys wouldn’t make a premature decision without benefits. How could they do such a thing?!”
