Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam?

399 Interviews and Evaluation

Aside from the hammer, Wu Mo had also forged a brand-new combat sword for himself.

It was not a sword that relied on energy to attack like the Spirit Wave Sword—it was a real battle sword.

Close combat was only one of its basic functions, and Wu Mo had positioned this sword as his personal weapon. At the same time, it would be the core of his cultivation.

Therefore, the high quality of the materials aside, the sword’s most important function was to absorb the energy between heaven and earth and transform it into energy that the body could absorb.

Although Wu Mo was a peak five-star blacksmith with strong spirit power, the amount of true spirit energy in his body was pitifully little.

If he were to fight with only his true spirit energy, he would just send his head to the ground even if he faced the trashiest Rank 1 beast. He would probably bid farewell to this world before he could even let out a scream.

This showed how low his true spirit energy cultivation was now.

However, it was undeniable that he was hesitant about forging because his physique was indeed good when coupled with his mental strength, reaction speed, and so on. Despite that, it had not been really possible to directly face a fierce Rank 1 beast.

Therefore, apart from those two functions, there was nothing special about his new combat sword.

As a combat sword, it had enough hardness, toughness, and sharpness. As the core element in his training, its efficiency in absorbing the essence of heaven and earth was also close to that of the Divine-grade equipment, Mjolnir.

But other than that, there was nothing special about it.

It had no energy attacks or special attributes. If one’s swordsmanship was not strong enough, holding a sword would be like holding an iron bar with little attack power.

However, in the hands of an expert, this sword could definitely become a killing machine. It did not have a curved blade.

Wu Mo was quite satisfied with this sword, but after waving it a few times, he put it back into the scabbard gloomily.

It was a good sword, but he did not know anything at the moment!

He was a little curious as to why he had gone all the way down the path of equipment crafting after transmigrating to this world. He did not even care about his own protection.

Did he think that he would be safe just because of the noble status of his professions and the fact that blacksmiths were as rare as the mages in the fantasy world?

A mage’s combat power was not weak!

He had seen extraordinary martial arts techniques but had actually refused to master it. Had he not been putting the cart before the horse?

What was the purpose of forging equipment?

It was about arming oneself. No matter who you asked, they would tell you it was all for the sake of fighting enemies!

With only equipment and no corresponding strength and combat skills, would he not be a joke?

Wu Mo took a deep breath and cursed himself. Then, he turned around and started forging the third piece of equipment.

This time, he was forging a pair of combat boots.

Strangely, it took Wu Mo very little time to draw the blueprints.

After temporarily abandoning the need for science and technology, his efficiency in drawing and forging had increased rapidly. The blueprint was completed in less than an hour.

Of course, it was more like copying than designing from scratch.

He had seen so many anime, movies, and all kinds of beautiful equipment in his previous life. He did not have to think hard about the shape and function of a pair of shoes. Any design could easily surpass the aesthetic standards of this world.

After all, this world had been affected by the war between the Ten Thousand Races, and it had always been under great pressure. He could not compare the entertainment industry here with the one from his previous life.

The only thing he spent more effort on was the combination of the energy circuit and several functional arrays.

To increase efficiency, Wu Mo did not choose any high-level arrays. He only used the most basic Tier 1 Acceleration Array, Lightweight Array, and control core.

However, it was not as simple as engraving the Tier 1 Acceleration Array on the boots. Instead, he superimposed nine Acceleration Arrays and three Lightweight Arrays on the boots before he finally added a control core.

As a result, mysterious and exquisite silvery-white patterns appeared out of thin air once the boots were completed.

They looked like silvery-white metal combat boots, but in reality, the boots did not even have a trace of metal. They were made of leather and rubber materials.

These two materials were just of relatively high grade. In fact, they were only three stars quality-wise, but they needed to be synthesized through special methods. While the boots were not of a very high level, their value could not be mentioned in the same breath.

Not only did they give the user the ability to move quickly in a small area, but once the user started running, he could increase his speed by up to nine times. It did not matter whether he ran in a straight line or in a curve, as long as he could control the boots properly

In other words, one could cover a distance that normally took 10 seconds in a little more than a second. If Wu Mo could travel 100 meters in 9 seconds in his previous life, then he could reach nearly 100 meters in a second now.

While Wu Mo and the others were resting, the entire Red Heart province became lively as more and more participants arrived.

The advertisement screens on the roadside were all about the exchange conference.

Although it was not time for it to officially begin, some hosts and reporters had already begun interviewing the participants. These interactions were also very interesting.

Many commoners had already nestled on their couches to watch the live broadcast.

The number of viewers displayed on the big screen soared, and it quickly exceeded 100 million.

The truth was, the exchange conference did not really concern the ordinary people. Even though it was quite well-known, those who paid attention to it were often people from related industries.

However, blacksmiths had a high status, and they received exceptional treatment. Countless people yearned to be a blacksmith. Plus, the media was adopting a live broadcast approach to report on this exchange conference for the first time.

It immediately caused a sensation and heated discussion, especially since the participants were some of the youngest blacksmiths. Their achievements had attracted the attention of numerous parents.

A lot of people had children. If their children could also walk the path of a blacksmith, they would definitely have a great future.

Many parents hoped that their children would become successful, so they paid special attention to the event.

Another reason was that many of the participants were quite famous. They were celebrities in the blacksmith industry and were even well-known by countless people across the world. They drew attention, and many people from various regions wanted to see them.

Naturally, people were also very interested in programs related to the exchange conference. As long as it was on the television, its viewership ratings would explode.

“Hello! Mr. Zhang, are you confident about winning the competition?” A female reporter handed a microphone to a burly man in his mid-twenties and asked respectfully.

“Are you trying to stuff the microphone into my mouth? You’re so close!”

Master Zhang was not pleased. He took a step back to avoid the microphone in front of him, but he did not leave.
