Chapter 356 - 356 The Only Regret
356 The Only Regret
Her work and tasks were not urgent anyway, so it did not matter if she delayed it for a day or two.
Since she could not learn anything useful from Wu Mo, it was a waste of time to stay.
Wang Qiuhan knew that people like Wu Mo would not stay in the armory for a long time.
They would not cross paths anymore in the future. At best, each would only be a passerby in the other’s life.
So, she did not plan on spending time to please him.
With light steps, Wang Qiuhan turned and left the research facility.
On the other side, Wu Mo had already collected the first batch of materials that had been fused by the forging apparatus.
After a simple observation, he quickly confirmed that the materials obtained through the infiltration-smelting technique perfectly met the requirements of his improved plan.
He could not help but feel excited for a moment.
Then, he began to smelt the second batch of materials and stood by the side alone, waiting.
As time passed, the number of staff in the research facility decreased.
By the time it was 6.40 pm, Wu Mo was the only one left guarding the forging apparatus.
The sky outside had long been covered by night, and the lights of several thousand houses were extremely bright at this time.
Finally, the forging apparatus completed the infiltration and smelting of the last batch of materials.
After storing all the processed materials into his Interspatial Ring, Wu Mo immediately pulled out his work pass from the machine’s card slot and hurried out.
Outside the research facility, a crescent moon as white as frost hung high in the sky.
A few six-star cultivators were waiting outside, preparing to close the door on time as usual.
“Ah, it’s getting late. Shouldn’t Mr. Wu Mo be out by now?” a staff member yawned lazily and said to the colleague beside him with a sleepy face.
“There’s still about 10 minutes before closing. Why are you in such a hurry?” his middle-aged colleague said impatiently as he looked at the milky-white formation that was 10 meters away.
Then, he looked at the six-star cultivator standing outside and muttered to himself, “He should be out soon.”
“Hey, I’m just worried that Mr. Wu Mo’s going to forget about the time. You know that he’s been very busy these days. As inspectors, shouldn’t we remind him?”
The staff member who had been chastised immediately straightened his neck and defended himself.
“Alright, alright. Those guards who are working hard on duty haven’t even said anything. Who gives you the right to complain?”
Just as the slightly fatter staff member was about to tell his companion to shut up, the nearby array before him suddenly rippled.
The next moment, a young man in a dark-colored jacket walked out.
It was the person they had been waiting for, Mr. Wu Mo. He had the privilege of not having to go through the inspection.
Seeing that Mr. Wu Mo had finally appeared, the two staff members instantly felt relieved.
“Mr. Wu, you’re out so late today. I know you’re busy with work, but you have to watch your health,” one of the staff members, who was slightly thinner, immediately said.
He looked at Wu Mo with respect as if it was his goal to be like him.
The person next to him felt aggrieved when he saw that his colleague had stolen all the opportunities to talk to Mr. Wu.
He could not wait to tell Wu Mo the same classic line.
Unfortunately, his reason triumphed over his impulse, and he immediately fell silent.
Wu Mo had planned to leave immediately, but he stopped the moment he heard the staff member’s words.
“Thank you for your concern. I’ll be take care.”
After a polite reply, he quickly left.
However, the staff member who had spoken looked as if he just heard an extremely inspiring speech; his face was slightly flushed.
After the guards saw what happened, they also looked in the direction where Wu Mo had disappeared.
They did not understand why the staff members were so respectful to Wu Mo, who was also on the same level as them.
The night was as dark as ink, and only the streetlights on both sides of the road were left, constantly emitting a dim yellow light.
Wu Mo put his hands in his pockets, lowered his head, and hurried in the direction of the cafeteria.
The winter wind was very cold. As long as there was a small gap, it would be able to penetrate your neck and give you an “unforgettable” experience.
By the time Wu Mo saw the cafeteria closest to the research facility, his nose was already red from the cold.
He pushed open the glass door and walked into the cafeteria. The door’s cold metal handle made him immediately roll up his fingers and breathe into his palm.
“Beef with potato, tomato egg soup, and a bowl of rice. Thank you.”
Without waiting for the staff in the cafeteria to ask, Wu Mo immediately poured out the order he had thought of halfway.
The staff member pursed his lips and smiled. He immediately saw Wu Mo’s urgency.
“Alright, please wait a moment.”
“Okay,” Wu Mo replied and quickly walked to the dining area.
It was no longer the peak hour, and there were less than 50 people in the large cafeteria.
He randomly found a quiet spot and sat down. While waiting for the food to be ready, Wu Mo didn’t waste any time. Instead, he started to think about the follow-up plan.
Now that all the materials were ready, he just had to smear the materials on the exoskeleton armor and hammer it for a while after returning.
It was expected to be completed before 10 o’clock.
After thinking for a while, he thought about some details that he should pay attention to when he went back to work.
Before Wu Mo could collect his thoughts, he heard the sound of footsteps.
“Sir, these are the dishes you ordered.”
The staff served the piping hot beef stewed spare ribs and tomato egg soup.
At the same time, he pushed the rice to Wu Mo.
It was 12.30 pm when Wu Mo had his lunch, but it was already 7.00 pm now.
The long-term hunger had made Wu Mo lose all resistance to delicious food, especially when he smelled the unique aroma of beef. His mouth couldn’t help but salivate.
He immediately picked up his chopsticks and immersed himself in the dazzling rice.
It had to be said that not only was the armory rich in a variety of materials, but the forging equipment was also top-notch. Even the food in the canteen was delicious.
After more than a month, Wu Mo hadn’t even tasted one-third of the dishes in the cafeteria.
When he thought about how he might have to leave this place after he had completed the improvement of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, Wu Mo suddenly felt a little regretful.
Twenty minutes later… he left the cafeteria under the silvery moonlight.
With the warm food in his stomach, Wu Mo felt that the cold wind that whistled by his ears was not as cold as it was when he came.
Back at his personal dormitory, he took off his coat as soon as he entered the room because there was a 24-hour heating system.
He looked at the time on his phone. It was almost 7.40 pm.
Due to time constraints and the materials needed to improve the plating, they had already been completed.
Wu Mo didn’t rest for a moment. He returned to his bedroom and locked the door.
