"...Sigh."
Lu Jun let out a long sigh filled with exhaustion and resignation, not even having the strength to argue back.
Meanwhile, Wu Sidu was still carefully using the edge of a damp handkerchief to wipe away the more noticeable stains on his face bit by bit. Her movements were gentle and focused. She looked less like she was tending to a teammate and more like a tender, meticulous wife caring for her husband after he returned home exhausted from work.
Only after hearing Gu Chenyu's explanation did everyone finally understand. The surprise in their gazes toward Lu Jun faded, replaced by deep admiration.
Forging three complete sets of Four-Word Dou Armor in three days?
That was simply a fantasy!
Only a monster like Lu Jun working together with Gu Chenyu, one of the world's foremost God Craftsmen, could create such an unbelievable miracle of efficiency.
No wonder Lu Jun had been exhausted to this state.
Forging three top-tier Battle Armors in three days—of course he would be tired.
Yuanen Yehui stepped forward and gently patted Lu Jun's shoulder on the other side, her touch steady.
"You've worked hard, Captain."
Her voice was quiet, yet filled with profound sincerity.
"Brother Lu hasn't had it easy either."
Long Chen sighed softly as well.
"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Those words couldn't be more fitting for Brother Lu."
Yue Zhengyu took over, his expression solemn.
"And aren't we the same? We just received confirmed news. The Federation has issued deployment orders. Our team will be sent to the West Continent."
"The West Continent?" Xie Xie raised a brow. "What are we going there for? Hasn't that place always..."
"To support the Blood God Legion and familiarize ourselves with, and adapt to, special operations against Abyss creatures," Yue Zhengyu explained
