Chapter 24: Change of Plan

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Mr. Wu is an honored guest in Treasure Pavilion and a Four-star blacksmith at that. Don’t tell me you’re worried that he won’t pay…” Gao Yue held his hands behind his back and responded indifferently.
“But…”
The receptionist wanted to say something else. After all, she was the one present in the transaction. If there were any problems in the future, she would probably be questioned as well.
“There are no buts. Let’s get back to work!” Gao Yue said coldly as he turned around and walked toward the second floor of Treasure Pavilion.
Looking at the luxuriously dressed customers coming and going, the ghost of a smile appeared on his face.
In Gao Yue’s eyes, Blacksmith Wu Mo was definitely not an ordinary person. Taking advantage of the fact that he had yet to soar into the skies, Gao Yue wanted to befriend him as soon as possible. The benefits that Treasure Pavilion would receive in the future would definitely be more than the two to three million worth of materials!
…
Elsewhere, Wu Mo and Jiang Mengyao revealed their identities and walked through the gates of the Divine Arms Academy.
Wu Mo’s gaze was level as he strode forward.
In contrast, Jiang Mengyao’s brows were slightly furrowed, as though she had something on her mind. Soon, she fell behind by more than 10 meters.
“Wu Mo… wait for me.”
Jiang Mengyao spoke in a slightly aggrieved tone. At the same time, she quickened her pace and immediately caught up to him.
“What’s wrong? Didn’t we get some materials? What are you worried about?”
Wu Mo turned his head to look at Jiang Mengyao and found that there was something wrong with the girl.
“You… You want Legendary Essence. Are you planning to refine a Divine weapon?”
Jiang Mengyao raised her head to look at Wu Mo as she confronted him unhappily.
Umm…
Wu Mo was stumped by Jiang Mengyao’s sudden question.
He needed the Legendary Essence to refine Mjolnir.
But if he told others about it now, they would think that he was crazy.
Thus, Wu Mo decided to hide the fact that he wanted to refine a Divine weapon.
“No, I just want to collect Legendary Essence. When I become stronger, I’ll consider refining a Divine weapon. I don’t have the skills now.”
Spreading his hands, Wu Mo pretended to be innocent.
“Hmph… Don’t try to lie to me. You’re still in debt. How can you have the money to collect Legendary Essence? Are you going to take out another loan?”
Jiang Mengyao refused to believe Wu Mo’s words. She stepped forward and stared him in the face, trying to pull him back.
She seemed extremely serious as Wu Mo looked at her petite face.
Wu Mo was stunned for a moment. Then, he immediately reacted. This little girl was probably afraid that he would end up like before again, moping all day long and being depressed in the midst of defeat.
He took a deep breath and held Jiang Mengyao’s little hand as he gently explained, “Mengyao, don’t worry. I won’t be as stupid as before. I’m very clear-headed now. I know my current level, and I won’t overestimate myself.”
“So, please don’t worry. I’m really good now, and I’ll definitely prove my abilities during the graduation assessment. Please believe me… okay?”
Wu Mo looked down into Mengyao’s eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly with a faint smile.
Mengyao’s fair little face turned red. She lowered her head shyly, her heart already in a mess.
“In that case… Alright, I believe that you won’t do anything stupid again, but you have to promise me that you won’t lie to me in the future!”
Her voice was as soft as a mosquito, and her ears were burning.
If Wu Mo had not been listening carefully, he would not have noticed it at all.
He let out a faint sigh of relief, thinking that he had finally placated her.
On the surface, he remained as calm as ever, nodding his head in agreement with a serious expression.
“Okay… let’s go.”
Jiang Mengyao pursed her lips as a sweet feeling began to form in her heart.
The two of them strolled side by side in the academy and soon parted ways in front of the dormitory buildings.
Wu Mo took out the material box that Mengyao needed from his Interspatial Ring.
Since Jiang Mengyao was forging light-armor-type equipment, the original weights of the materials were also light. It was easy to carry the box.
“See you tomorrow. Remember to contact me on the phone,” Jiang Mengyao waved her hand and said with a smile.
“Okay, got it. Let’s go back,” Wu Mo responded and immediately walked toward his dormitory building.
He lowered his head and stared at his toes. He began to think about the thunder god’s hammer.
Even a large-scale chamber of commerce like the Treasure Pavilion did not have Legendary Essence. It was likely that he would not be able to finish forging it in a short time.
If he wanted to make it before the graduation assessment, he had to make some improvements or adjustments to lower the quality of Mjolnir.
However, if he wanted to do it well, he had to do a lot of research. He was afraid that there would be a lot of things to do in the next week.
Furthermore, the materials were not the only thing that troubled him. He had just handed over a deposit of ¥800,000, and he needed to raise the remaining ¥2,000,000 within three days. The matter was a thorn in his side.
After he took the elevator to the seventh floor, Wu Mo returned to his small home.
Looking at the clean and tidy living room, he calmed down a lot.
Compared with the chaotic mess at the beginning, the dormitory was now much more pleasing to the eye.
Since he could make a change in his life, Wu Mo believed that he could also complete the transition in his ability. Before the graduation assessment, he would forge the Divine weapon, Mjolnir!
He sat down on the couch and snapped his fingers. At the next moment, some of the materials from Treasure Pavilion appeared in front of him.
The Blessed Mithril had a smooth surface and shone with pure white light.
The Centennial Serpentine Wood was completely black. Its surface was mottled with black and white lines that resembled snake patterns. At the same time, it emitted the smell of ink.
The Clear Cyan Mound Stone was extremely hard, and it emanated a metallic luster. It was cold to the touch as if he had grown in a place with extremely cold air.
Looking at the three materials on the coffee table, a hint of joy appeared on Wu Mo’s face.
These materials were of high quality. If he had bought them from other places, he might not have been able to collect them all in a short period of time. Fortunately, ever since he had become a consultant for Treasure Pavilion, he had the right to order them in advance. As such, he had collected more than half of them in one go. It could be considered a rare joyous occasion.
He could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart. First, he took out his phone to check the time. Then, he immediately closed his eyes, and with his thoughts, he entered the Divine-grade Forging Space.
Once he could tell that his senses had been cut off, Wu Mo slowly opened his eyes. Right then, the three materials that he had just obtained were already on the workbench in front of him.
“Although I have obtained a lot of materials, I still haven’t obtained the Violet Thunder Origin Stone and the Legendary Essence needed to refine Mjolnir. I can’t forge it at all.”
“Time is a little tight right now. I can’t waste any more of it!”
Wu Mo placed both of his hands on the flat workbench, and his brain instantly became active.
After looking at the pitch-black Serpentine Wood and the Clear Cyan Mound Stone that could refract light, a bold idea suddenly flashed through Wu Mo’s mind.
