407 Get Him to Hand in His Paper in Advance
However, the system did not give him a high score. He barely passed. The main reason was, although there were no mistakes that affected the equipment’s entire structure, many details were not handled properly.
Even so, the process of inserting the array restrictions into this Divine equipment was at least much easier than the process of integrating it into the technological system in the past.
At this point, Wu Mo did not plan on forging the shuttle a third time. After all, if he appeared to be too familiar with it in the competition, it would seem a little suspicious.
Although the questions had all been set and verified by the association, hence no one could cheat, there was no need to complicate things.
He had even thought about it. When it came to forging equipment, he would definitely slow down and pay more attention to the details, but he could not go too far.
He believed that he could not guarantee his spot as the competition’s winner, but he should have no problem getting into the top three.
Divine-grade materials were good, but if one had the time to earn money, one had to have time to spend it as well. Who knew how many people would covet Divine-grade materials?
He was in someone else’s territory, so who knew what would happen?
Lack of preparation led to failure!
Sometimes, it was better to prepare for the worst and then try your best.
If one was targeted, the outcome would be very different depending on how prepared one was.
Wu Mo waved his hand, and the underground shuttle that he had created disappeared.
There were still three to four days left. He stopped forging equipment and continued studying books on basic arrays and restrictions.
Just by looking at the real world, one would know how precious extraordinary legacies were. Since he had this opportunity, why not study things in depth?
In fact, he had also thought about organizing the books he had read and the knowledge he had learned. He wanted to spread it so that more people could master it and improve the Nine Provinces’ ability to fight foreign races and ferocious beasts.
However, there was a prerequisite for this. He had to ensure that he would not be in danger as a result. He did not want to sacrifice himself for others.
After all, he had not reached a desperate situation where it was too late to do anything. As long as he could grow quickly and gain enough strength and status, no matter how many unbelievable things he took out, no one would question their origin.
On the contrary, with insufficient strength now, it would be foolish to produce something that shocked countless people.
Therefore, before Wu Mo’s strength increased, he would not spread the extraordinary knowledge he had.
At this moment, all the participants were on their final sprint, and they had begun to officially complete their blueprints. All of them were working in their rooms, and no one came out to stroll around.
Meanwhile, Wu Mo was tired from reading. After walking around for a while, he made some food and returned to his room. After a short rest, he continued reading while waiting for the deadline.
However, in the eyes of the surveillance staff, his actions were very strange. He had clearly completed his blueprint design, but he had not submitted it. He was also lying in his room and sleeping leisurely. Compared with the other busy individuals in the surveillance footage, he stood out like a sore thumb.
As the end of the first part of the competition approached, the four judges sent by the association finally arrived.
These four people did not show up at all on the first day of the opening ceremony. It was obvious that they did not like to lock themselves away from worldly affairs.
“That kid still hasn’t handed in his blueprint?” Lin Xiangyun asked curiously.
“Yes, Master Lin! Wu Mo has been lying in bed sleeping ever since he finished. He suddenly woke up not long ago and came out to take a walk. After making some food, he went back and lay down again.”
When Gu Shan heard this, he could not help but chuckle, “It’s obvious that this kid doesn’t take the conference seriously! I don’t know if it’s because he has a plan or because he’s completely ruined his blueprint, but he has piqued my curiosity!”
The seating arrangements of the four masters were carefully arranged. Lin Xiangyun and Gu Shan sat in the middle, while Zhang Chunyang and Liu Yu sat next to them. They were separated by a distance.
Obviously, the people from the association were also worried that the two of them would cause some trouble at this exchange meeting. That would be truly embarrassing.
Aside from these four masters, there were eight seven-star cultivators hidden in a slightly more secluded place. This was to protect the four Divine master blacksmiths just in case.
Master Zhang Chunyang was an old man with white hair and a scholarly aura. He looked serious and rigid, with a meticulous temperament.
Master Liu Yu wasn’t young either. He was about 60 years old. His face was wrinkled, but his eyes were exremely bright. The aura on his body was also relatively strong. It was very likely that his cultivation was not weak either.
The two of them listened to the conversation between Lin Xiangyun and Gu Shan. Zhang Chunyang nodded and said, “If it’s really as you say, then this young man isn’t bad. He’s neither arrogant nor impatient, and he’s very calm. He’ll definitely be a good seedling among blacksmiths in the future.”
Liu Yu seemed to go against Zhang Chunyang. He sang on opposite tune and sneered, “Hmph, I can guess what kind of person that kid is from your description. I’m afraid that his heart is filled with dark thoughts. He thinks that if he hands over the results too quickly, he will appear too dazzling and attract all kinds of attention. He might even attract jealousy and hostility from others, so he is deliberately hiding it.”
After he said this, he paused for a moment and continued, “Although this idea can’t be wrong, this exchange conference is prepared for young people. Young people should be sharp, aggressive, and courageous. But look at this guy. He’s hiding his strength and biding his time. He looks like a coward. He definitely won’t have a future!”
When Lin Xiangyun and Gu Shan heard the two of them, they could not help but exchange looks and reveal a helpless bitter smile.
Lin Xiangyun shook his head and said, “Hey, both of you, stop it. This is the competition venue. If the two of you continue to be like this when the participants come out later, how bad would it be if word got out? We’re not talking about just the people from the Red Heart province. All the top blacksmiths from the Nine Provinces are here. Do you want to lose face all over the country?”
Zhang Chunyang and Liu Yu did not say anything else, and Lin Xiangyun kept quiet.
Looking at the time, the competition would be over in less than two hours.
However, Gu Shan was an impatient person. It would be really difficult for him to sit there for two hours.
Therefore, he turned around and called a staff member over. “Go to White River province’s Room 5, knock on the door, and enter. If he asks, just say that we’ve watched him though the surveillance camera and seen that he’s done. So, ask him to hand in his paper in advance!”
