246 Xia Chengtian, the Major General

After resting for a while, Wu Mo immediately got up and walked to the cafeteria.

It was already one o’clock in the afternoon, an hour later than his usual eating time.

Speaking of which, during this period of time in the Research Department, he had gained a few pounds of weight. Moreover, due to his regular work and rest schedule, his skin, condition, and energy had all improved.

Compared with when he was in the academy, his current temperament was also slightly different.

He seemed to be developing into a good-looking boy.

After the meal, Wu Mo went back to writing his thesis. He would be able to finish it by tomorrow.

As for his new idea, he was not done developing it yet. It was just an idea.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the next morning.

Wu mo woke up at around seven o ‘clock. He was full of energy. His thesis was more than half done, so he continued to work.

At around ten o’clock, only the finishing touches were left.

The entire paper was thousands of words long, and he gave a rough analysis of the technology mentioned in it. As long as it was an orthodox scientific researcher, he or she would definitely understand.

At this moment, a phone rang. It was old Mr. Wen.

On the phone, old Wen only said that an important person was coming, but Wu Mo knew that the person coming to see him was definitely the City Defense Army’s major general.

The man whose rank was slightly higher than that of the Hunter Bureau’s director.

After receiving the news, Wu Mo immediately went downstairs and headed to the researcher’s main entrance.

At this moment, many senior researchers had already arrived at the open space in front of the cultural square.

When they found out that the station chief wanted to see Wu Mo, their expressions did not change much. They had basically grown numb to it.

Professor Liu, on the other hand, was overjoyed.

Recently, the fifth Research Department’s reputation had been shocking.

Compared with other similar establishments, it was more important and had a tendency to surpass the major research institutes.

At this moment, Academician Xu and the chief designer, old Wen, were already at the cultural square, but Wu Wo had not arrived.

From a distance, he saw a row of city guards in military green uniforms standing in front of Academician Xu.

Each of the city guards stood straight, and the spirit energy fluctuations in their bodies were strong. They were seemingly of the six-star rank.

The middle-aged man in the lead was the major general of the City Defense Army, Xia Chengtian. He was about 40 years old and had a chiseled face. There was a heroic spirit in his eyes, and his every movement carried an extraordinary aura.

Wu Mo subconsciously glanced at the epaulet on his uniform. Good Lord.

A major general!

According to the rules of the military, one had to salute when meeting a higher-ranking leader.

Wu Mo stepped forward and subconsciously tried to bow.

The core members of the City Defense Army were standing in a row behind the station chief, right then, Wu Mo actually saw them bow to him.

They were captains in the City Defense Army. Including the interrogation captain, there were a total of 13 people.

Usually, the captains of the City Defense Army were ruthless characters in the station. Even if they visited other organizations, they usually had an antagonistic attitude.

In their eyes, physical strength was the real fist. The blacksmiths and researchers were just supporting them.

However, the Spirit Wave Sword, which appeared out of nowhere, had completely shattered the famous saying that they regarded as a guide.

Even a child could easily kill a five-star or even a six-star blacksmith after understanding how to use the Spirit Wave Sword.

Therefore, they put aside their pride and sincerely admired Wu Mo.

Moreover, after seeing him today and learning that the master who had forged the Invisibility Armor and the Spirit Wave Sword was only a young man in his early 20s…

Their hearts were in a state of shock.

Professor Liu and Professor Tan raised their eyebrows in surprise.

However, it was not over yet. The captains who had bowed all took a deep breath and shouted in unison, “We represent all of the City Defense Army’s members! Thank you, Mr. Wu, for helping us develop new weapons day and night!”

The voices of the dozen people almost shook the world.

Seeing such a situation, everyone could not help but sigh.

After the ceremony was over, the station chief immediately walked over to Wu Mo with a smile.

The latter’s face was beaming with joy, and he looked at Wu Mo as if he was family.

“Station Chief, thank you for coming to the fifth Research Department—”

Wu Mo wanted to learn from Academician Xu and say a few official words.

However, the moment he spoke, he was interrupted by the station chief, Xia Chengtian.

“Ah, we’re all friends. There’s no need to thank me. Have you been comfortable in the Research Department, Mr. Wu? Would you like to take a look at our City Defense Station? If you’re free, I can arrange it at any time.”

Xia Chengtian’s attitude was unprecedentedly warm as he pulled Wu Mo’s hand and began to chat with him.

Those who did not know better would think that they were two neighbors chatting.

“Um, the living conditions in the Research Department are great. There’s no need for you to arrange anything, Station Chief.”

“Oh… that’s good. Actually, our station isn’t far from the Research Department. You can come often in the future. Our third captain’s culinary skills are excellent. He knows how to make classic cuisines from major cities. If you miss home, you can come to our place. I’ll get the third captain to cook for you. I guarantee that it will taste like your mom’s food.”

The station chief did not wait for Wu Mo to finish and closed the distance between them again as if they were a family.

Wu Mo was also rendered speechless by what he said.

The people around them could not help but twitch their lips when they saw this.

The neighboring province had all heard what the station chief was planning.

His attitude was too obvious.

They had thought that the station chief would be very cold and unwilling to talk.

However, they did not expect the station chief’s attitude toward a researcher to be so outrageous.

Old Wen, the chief designer, could not help but frown when he noticed that the captains behind him could not hold their feelings in any longer.

What the hell was this? The station chief was a major general after all. With his attitude, those who did not know would think that Wu Mo was the station chief instead.

He had ulterior motives.

Old Wen was a little speechless. The station chief’s series of actions were too deliberate.

First, the captains bowed and said that Wu Mo had worked hard to develop new weapons for them.

The first move was to put a label on Wu Mo. Then, they tried to form a close relationship with him. After that, they would make a presumptuous request, asking Wu Mo to give the Spirit Wave Sword to City Defense Army first once it was mass-produced.

In fact, Wu Mo himself had already realized this.

He felt helpless in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface and chatted with the major general with an indifferent expression.

“Thank you for your concern, Station Chief. The Spirit Wave Sword is still in the early stages of mass production, and only one prototype has been completed.

“If the subsequent mass production is successful, it will still depend on the leaders’ arrangements and the coordination between the various departments.

“Nevertheless, I will immediately apply to the higher-ups. If it is successful, the first line of the City Defense Army will be given priority for equipment.”
