Ironclad: How can hand-crafted knight belts not be considered genius?

Day two.

Inside the energy management department, Leila slumped helplessly onto the table.

Suddenly, a hand patted Leira on the shoulder.

Laila's body trembled, then she turned around abruptly. Upon seeing who it was, she said coquettishly:

"Luna! You scared me without saying a word again!"

Looking at her best friend's breathy face, Luna revealed a mischievous grin, her long, golden, wavy hair cascading freely over her shoulders.

"I just wanted to cheer you up since you looked so listless."

Speaking of which, didn't you say yesterday that you were going to investigate the "energy theft case"?

How's it going, 'Detective Lyra'?

Mentioning last night, Laira seemed to recall something, and her brows furrowed involuntarily.

"Don't even mention last night, it makes me so angry just thinking about it..."

Laila buried her head in her arms, puffing out her cheeks and remaining motionless.

"What happened? Tell me, tell me!!"

Luna raised her arm and repeatedly elbowed the dejected Leila, but the other party didn't react at all, like a salted fish that had been marinated.

"Xiao Lai, you know you'll have no friends if you keep doing riddles like this?"

Luna pondered for a moment, then gently leaned close to Laira's ear, her lips slightly parted.

"Oh, I see... That's such a pity..."

You're still thinking of telling me about what happened last night, and I'll tell you my latest investigation information about that two-colored armored man.

It seems our little Lai isn't interested in this news...

Upon hearing this, Leila's ears twitched almost imperceptibly.

"What information! I want to hear it!"

The dragon raises its head!

Seeing the light in Leila's eyes, Luna covered her mouth and chuckled.

"You're still so sensitive to news about that guy."

That's right, after all, he's your savior, Xiao Lai~

Leira pursed her lips, pondered for a moment, and then spoke somewhat uncertainly.

Is your information guaranteed to be accurate?

"Real! Of course it's real! Realer than pearls!"

We've been best friends for so long, would I lie to you? A liar would swallow a thousand needles!

Luna patted her chest and assured him.

"Then... come closer..."

Laira waved to Luna, signaling her to come closer.

…………

"Pfft—so…you were dragged into working all night for free by that Jiang Ning guy, and not only did you not get any intelligence, you also wasted your tablet?"

Luna buried her head in her arms, turning her head away from Leila to avoid letting the other woman see her expression.

But from the way the other person's shoulders kept twitching, Leila knew with her own eyes that the other person was definitely laughing at her.

"Luna! Are you bullying me too?!"

Laila lunged forward, grabbing Luna's waist and restlessly tickling the ticklish spot on her waist with her fingers.

"Huh?! Ahahaha—I was wrong, I was wrong, Xiao Lai, stop fooling around! I won't laugh at you anymore!..."

How could Leira possibly do as the other party wished?

The two played around for a while until they were panting and stopped.

"Now can you tell me your latest intelligence, 'Information Agent Luna'?"

After venting her frustrations, Laira regained some of her energy and began demanding her share of the information.

"This...?"

Luna took out her phone and opened a picture.

The picture clearly shows a full-body frontal photo of the cyclist, captured by an unknown staff member.

He leaned close to Laira's ear and spoke in a mysterious tone.

"Look at this."

Luna raised her finger and pointed to the driver on Build's waist in the picture.

"Did you notice?"

Leila stared at it for a long time, then scratched her head in confusion.

"What did you find?"

"Heh heh~ This is my major discovery!"

"Look, based on the findings of our previous investigations, didn't we deduce that this belt device around the waist is the enemy's energy core?"

Leira remained clueless.

"Oh, so what?"

"If you consider his overall color scheme, isn't it exactly the same as the two bottles on his waist?"

So—I suspect this is just one of the opponent's armor forms; they definitely have other combinations they haven't used yet!

Leila recalled the row of colorful energy bottles on the table in Jiang Ning's laboratory and began to ponder the rationale behind it.

"That guy seemed to have mentioned that there are many complex combinations between energy bottles..."

"Xiao Lai, what are you muttering about? Are you hiding something from me?"

Laira did not reveal the information that the Build Driver was in the Jiangning Laboratory. After all, Jiangning was keeping it so secret that it seemed to be some important secret.

Who knows if that annoying guy will come after me like a mad dog if I tell him?

"No, I was just talking to myself."

Thinking of Jiang Ning, Laira seemed to have all her strength drained away, and slumped into her seat.

"Little Lai."

"Um?"

Leira responded listlessly.

"Are you just going to swallow this bitter pill? Don't you want to retaliate?"

Faced with Luna's suggestion, Leira closed her eyes helplessly.

"How should I get revenge? Should I go back and bite him?"

"Hey, don't be so down~ You can..."

Before Luna could finish speaking, the phone in Leila's pocket suddenly started vibrating violently without warning.

"Huh? Who would call you at this hour?"

Luna asked, puzzled.

Laira, equally puzzled, took out her phone and silently unlocked the screen.

Logically speaking, no one should call me during work hours.

Could it be that the boss caught him slacking off?!

Thinking of this, Laira's hand holding the phone began to tremble slightly.

A moment later, Leira finally answered the phone, her voice trembling slightly.

"Feed...?"

"Yo!"

The familiar yet annoying voice coming from the other end of the phone instantly pulled Leira's thoughts back to last night.

"...Jiangning?!"

Ber? How did you get my number?!

Leira was completely baffled. She had just been worried, and now this annoying guy was simply chasing after her and biting her.

"Is it really that surprising? You even clicked your tongue."

Jiang Ning's lazy voice came through the phone's speaker.

Luna listened quietly, resting her chin on her hand in curiosity.

"Your tablet is with me, remember?"

I cracked the code and got your contact information from it. Um... is using the word "got" a bit inappropriate?

"Is that the point?! How much information did you spy on?! Confess!"

Leira's chest heaved violently with anger.

"Well, I didn't look at much, just some basic stuff... like..."

Jiang Ning paused for a moment.

"Laira, staff member of the Energy Management Section of Black Tower Space Station, has been employed for two and a half years, is ** years old, and graduated from Interstellar XXX University."

Leila became increasingly alarmed as she listened.

I'll blanch it! Box!

"Height XXX, weight XX, bust, waist, and hip measurements are..."

"Stop! Stop! Stop!!!"

Leila quickly interrupted Jiang Ning's outrageous statement.

"You call this only seeing a little bit? If you continue, are you going to recite my entire genome sequence?"

"It's not that outrageous, and I'm not that bored."

With a sense of relief, Leira placed her phone face down on the table, her soul gradually leaving her body.

She was truly at her wit's end. There's a limit to how shameless a person can be, right?

Jiang Ning's skin is absolutely perfect for being used as building material for [Amber King].
