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

"I'm not teaching you anymore! You can learn it on your own!"

Laila threw the book away and rubbed her temples in despair.

I originally planned to take advantage of the opportunity to be Jiang Ning's personal trainer to teach him a lesson and get revenge for what happened before.

Who knew that Jiang Ning's learning talent was so abnormal? He could memorize almost any knowledge at a glance and master it almost completely with just a little thought.

From Leira's perspective, this guy isn't even human! He's a pure learning machine!

I'm playing again! This is so unfair! It really hurts my pride!

Jiang Ning looked at the few remaining books piled on the table and glanced helplessly at Leila.

"Self-study is fine... Do you have any other books? This knowledge seems a bit insufficient."

Laira grabbed Jiang Ning by the collar and glared at him with fury.

"These are courses I took for three years of university. You finished them in one night and you still think it's not enough?"

Laira gritted her teeth, her eyes looking as if she wanted to skin Jiang Ning alive and devour him whole.

Jiang Ning scratched his cheek sheepishly.

It seems I unintentionally hurt the other person.

[Divine talent] is still too much...

Laira glared at Jiang Ning and then released her grip with little interest.

"If you think it's too little, the Black Tower Space Station also has a database for staff to borrow. But you'll need an access card."

Incidentally, the higher the access level of the access card, the wider the range of information that can be borrowed.

Of course, access cards aren't easy to obtain; you need to have worked on the space station for at least five years and have achieved certain research results...

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning was slightly taken aback, and then took out the gold-embossed light purple crystal card that the Black Tower doll had given him earlier from his shirt pocket.

"Access permission card... this one?"

"Are you pretending to be the Bull Demon King? How could you possibly be...?"

Nest?ヽ(ຶ▮ຶ▮ຶ)ﾉ!!!」

Without regard for her image, Leila swore and instantly appeared in front of Jiang Ning, snatching the crystal card from his hand.

"This...this..."

Laira stared at the crystal card clutched in her hand, her hand trembling uncontrollably, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"You...you...you!! How do you have a top-level access card!? This is something only the highest-ranking staff members, besides the stationmaster, can possess! You could count the number of people with this card on one hand!!"

Leira held the access card in her hand, flipping it back and forth, her fingers tracing the surface of the card, carefully studying every detail.

"There's no mistake... this is still the original access card personally designed by Lady Black Tower!!"

Laira suddenly looked up, her eyes flashing with a sharp light, and shot straight at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning felt his hair stand on end from being stared at.

"W-What are you doing? Your eyes are scary..."

"Tell me honestly, where did you get this from!"

Laira held the crystal card in her hand, pressing closer with each step.

"Where else could it be... given to me by Lady Black Tower..."

"Black... Bush?!"

Upon hearing this, Leila felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

"You've even communicated with Ms. Black Tower?!"

Jiang Ning was somewhat confused.

"I had some interaction with the Black Tower doll that I connected with Lady Black Tower. Is that so strange? Can you stop being so jumpy?..."

Laila felt her worldview crumble, and she collapsed helplessly to the ground.

"Lady Black Tower almost never gets involved in space station matters... let alone logs on herself. You're such an enviable guy..."

In an instant, Leila felt as if all her strength had been drained from her body.

He felt like the little mouse trying to trip up the elephant, actually thinking of taking revenge on Jiang Ning.

Why is this annoying guy involved with Lady Black Tower?!?

I don't understand! This is so strange!!

Ring ring—

Laira was pulled back to reality by her phone ringing. She took her phone out of her pocket and unlocked the screen.

"Huh? -- Huh???!!!!!"

"Is it already morning?! Oh no, oh no... I shouldn't have agreed to that bastard's request for extra lessons! Now I'm doomed!!"

Jiang Ning looked at the flustered Leila and asked, at a loss for what to do.

"Um... is it some big day today? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Laila didn't stop packing her things, but just replied casually.

"Are you that out of touch? Today is the Black Tower Space Station commander's retirement ceremony!"

I heard that a new stationmaster has arrived, and he's quite a big shot, seemingly having a significant connection with the Interstellar Peace Company.

Forget it, I don't have time to argue with you! I'm going to be late!

After saying that, Laira picked up her handbag and dashed out of the laboratory door, disappearing into the depths of the corridor in a flash.

Jiang Ning was left alone in the laboratory, helpless and bewildered.

"The new stationmaster...? A big shot? The Interstellar Peace Corporation?"

As Jiang Ning sorted through the information in his mind, a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

With these terms combined, the identity of this "new stationmaster" becomes self-evident.

The heiress of the Interstellar Peace Company—the stationmaster of the Black Tower Space Station in the main storyline of Collapse Iron—the person whose bank account never runs out—the pink-haired Estelle!

This person's background is incredibly powerful. In the entire Black Tower space station, you can mess with anyone (except Black Tower), but you absolutely cannot mess with this seemingly harmless little pink-haired girl.

[A gaze from a high-ranking executive at Interstellar Peace Corporation]

What about Aisda?

Why didn't you say so earlier if you wanted to cosplay the Amber King's building materials? Why did you have to go through all this trouble?

Putting aside her status, just her immense wealth is enough to make anyone drool.

It can be said that Estádio was solely responsible for all the expenses behind the Black Tower space station.

Have you ever seen interstellar carriers bought in groups?

Even the simulated universe, an investment project that could be described as a black hole, was filled by Estádio, which is enough to show her financial strength.

For Jiang Ning, the arrival of the other party was neither good nor bad.

At least, Jiang Ning now knows one more person besides Ms. Black Tower.

Oh no, it should be two people and a dog—after all, the dark-skinned PE student Alan and his dog Pepe are like a part of Estella, never separated.

Now that I've taken the position of "Security Team Captain" first, what should Alan, the "original captain," do?

Forget it, forget it, I don't want to think about these unimportant things.

Jiang Ning patted his cheeks, pulling himself back to reality.

Youyou yawned and Jiang Ning stepped into the washroom to tidy herself up.

A moment later, Jiang Ning, dressed neatly, stepped out of his small apartment.

Taking a deep breath of the long-missed cosmic air, Jiang Ning turned and walked into the depths of the corridor.

I should also go and observe the inauguration ceremony of this familiar "new stationmaster".

Perhaps it can even improve relationships and pave the way for future research funding.

After all, she's the richest woman in Beng Tie, so Uncle Jiang Ning has to hold on tight to her powerful backer.

Hehe—Rich woman, hungry, time for food.
