Twenty-five types of parts lay before Chen Mu, every piece gleaming with the metallic sheen of fresh machining. He picked them up and inspected them one by one. Only after setting down the last part did a satisfied expression appear on his face.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. If the parts they had worked so hard to make failed to meet his requirements, these inexperienced youngsters would have been frustrated enough to cough up blood. Most of them knew little about metalworking; they had essentially been ducks forced onto a perch. Fortunately, the machines were highly automated, and with Alfonso teaching them on the spot, they had barely managed to produce the parts. Alfonso had worked harder than anyone over the past two days, and he had visibly lost weight.
Chen Mu did not immediately begin assembling the parts. Instead, he started making a card right there. All the materials he needed were already available in the laboratory, a factor he had taken into account when designing it. Both time and manpower were precious now. He had no time to search for new materials.
This was the first time Chen Mu had made a card other than a one-star energy card in front of these youngsters.
