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

The blue virtual screen in my mind lit up again, and a technological branch extending from the self-created Ride Driver quietly illuminated a brand new technological frame.

【Build Tech Achievements - The Law of Victory: After obtaining the Build Driver, master the use of the Energy Bottle and Driver through practical combat to kill targets that are hostile to the host.

Current progress: 1/50

Achievement Reward: A pair of randomly selected best-matched energy bottles.

Jiang Ning's gaze swept over the traces of the dissipated creation of the rift, then he looked down at his fist, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Holy crap, one punch and he's dead? Am I really that strong now?"

Then, on second thought, he suddenly looked flustered and subconsciously looked around.

"But with such a loud commotion, did it smash through the Black Tower space station? I hope Black Tower won't make me pay for it..."

He quickly stepped forward and gently stroked the alloy wall that had been hit by the monster.

But the sight before him shocked him – the violent impact had not left a single dent in the wall, not even a tiny scratch.

"hiss……"

Jiang Ning gasped in shock, deeply moved.

"The Black Tower space station is really high quality..."

His worries vanished completely, and a fighting spirit ignited in his eyes. He let out a low shout:

"Okay, now I have no worries."

"Antimatter Legion, your dad's here!"

The rapid amplification granted by the rabbit energy bottle allowed Jiang Ning to move swiftly and gracefully within the massive space station, like a dragon soaring through the air.

He rampaged through the land, and wherever he went, the monsters of the Rift Legion fell to the ground, almost all of them killed with a single punch.

The space station crew members who were rescued by sheer luck all stared blankly at the red and blue knight figure, their faces filled with astonishment and confusion.

The messages in the space station's internal communication group were flying everywhere, causing an uproar.

[Holy crap! I was almost killed by the antimatter legion! You'd never guess what saved me!]

The accompanying photo shows Build Rider's back as he stylishly walks away after defeating the monster with a single punch.

[That weirdo with the red and blue outfit? He saved me too! It was unbelievable, but I was too stunned to take a picture.]

[Charles? Weren't you in the plant cultivation lab? Manr was in the weapons research lab. You two were separated by half a space station, and you were rescued by the same person within minutes?]

Some people couldn't help but raise questions.

Inside the plant cultivation room, Charles furiously typed on the virtual screen, excitedly replying:

[You guys have no idea! This guy's attack power is off the charts, and his speed is ridiculously fast—he disappears in a flash!]

[That bulky-looking suit of armor, crossing half a space station in half a minute? Who are you trying to fool?]

"That's not necessarily true! Don't forget where we are... In my opinion, this is definitely a new type of protective armor developed by Lady Black Tower!"

Someone immediately stood up to refute this:

[Don't just blindly guess, upstairs! I've worked in the weapons research department for so long, and based on my understanding of Lady Black Tower, I've never seen the design blueprints for this kind of armor!]

In the chat group, discussions about this "mysterious hero of the space station" are endless.

Most of the comments were from the staff members expressing their gratitude to their savior and wildly speculating about the mysterious armor technology.

It must be said that the researchers on the Black Tower space station have top-notch professional skills—one second they are running for their lives, and the next second they are enthusiastically analyzing the structural principles of the armor.

In the control room, a pretty girl with brown hair wearing a purple-black beret stood in front of the control panel, staring intently at the knight's figure fighting on the monitor screen.

She is the owner of the Black Tower Space Station, the 83rd member of the Genius Club—Black Tower.

"At this rate... you should be almost here by now."

The Black Tower dummy slightly raised its eyes, its clear and lively gaze quietly towards the tightly closed door of the control room.

……

Jiang Ning swept across the space station from one end to the other, fighting with great gusto.

Along the way, countless small monsters appeared, almost all of which could be killed with a single punch, and the thrill of instantly eliminating them made him exclaim with satisfaction.

[Ding! The "Laws of Victory" achievement in the BuildTech Tech Tree has been completed, and the reward has been issued.]

As the system notification sound faded, two energy bottles, one yellow and one silver, appeared out of thin air in Jiang Ning's palm.

"Eagle and Gatling gun? System, you know me too well! This completely fills the gap in our air defense capabilities!"

Having easily accomplished his goal, Jiang Ning felt increasingly pleased and continued humming a tune as he ventured deeper into the space station.

As he walked deeper into the space, gazing at the heavy, tightly closed alloy door before him, he suddenly realized with a start that he had unknowingly walked into the main control room of the Black Tower Space Station.

With such a commotion, could the Black Tower be waiting for me behind the door?

It shouldn't be that bad.

The Black Tower is always busy with many affairs, so why would a genius care about such a trivial matter?

He had just comforted himself when the alloy door in front of him slowly opened.

At the entrance, the Black Tower doll stood with its arms crossed, its bright eyes watching Jiang Ning, who had already transformed into a Build Rider, with great interest.

The air seemed to freeze at that moment.

Jiang Ning was momentarily stunned, completely amazed by the black tower before him.

Although it is just a doll, its exquisite facial features and detailed modeling give it a realism that far surpasses that of ordinary creations.

It must be admitted that Black Tower's beauty is top-notch, whether in its juvenile or adult form.

Black Tower waited quietly for him to speak first.

But Jiang Ning remained frozen in place, like a robot that had lost power.

Feeling a little impatient from being left waiting, Hei Ta frowned slightly and spoke first.

"Disarm yourself immediately and identify yourself. I only have one minute."

Her petite frame exudes an undeniable aura of power, and that familiar arrogance of a genius is palpable.

Jiang Ning snapped out of his daze, hesitated for a moment, and then reached out to pull out the two energy bottles on either side of the driver.

Deprived of energy supply, the red and blue Build Armor dissipated into tiny energy particles, revealing Jiang Ning's young face beneath the knight's mask.

Black Tower's pupils contracted slightly, his expression showing a hint of surprise.

Who would have thought that the mysterious knight who swept across the entire space station and crushed the invasion of the legion was actually a young man who looked no more than eighteen or nineteen years old?

A sense of curiosity arose in her heart.

What is the purpose of this mysterious person who suddenly broke into my space station?

Did he try to win favor with me by single-handedly eliminating the invading Rift Legion?

Although she could have easily solved this problem with a flick of her finger, Jiang Ning's intervention did prevent a large number of casualties and saved her a lot of trouble.

Fortunately, this "uninvited guest" did not seem to have any malicious intent.

Otherwise, she would have had a group of Black Tower puppets, each with a hammer, swing this guy into outer space and let him drift away.

My name is Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning carefully considered his words and chose to tell him the truth.

"I guess I'd say I'm... an outsider who stumbled into this place by mistake."

The current situation is complicated, and it is impossible to hide one's identity, let alone when facing the 83rd member of the Genius Club, Black Tower.

Trying to fool them with lies?

It might work to fool March 7th, but it's just asking for trouble in front of the Black Tower.

"Oh? An outsider?"

The Black Tower mascot, with one hand on its hip and the other supporting its chin, walked briskly to Jiang Ning.

"So, you don't belong to this world, but come from another dimension?"

Jiang Ning nodded slightly:

"That's about right."

Having received a definite answer, Black Tower circled around him with great interest, occasionally extending her slender index finger to poke his arm and thigh.

"Hmm...he looks no different from an ordinary person."

The next second, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, and her expression suddenly darkened.

"Are you lying to me?"

Seeing that her expression was off, Jiang Ning was about to explain, but immediately realized that something was wrong.

The next moment, Jiang Ning took a deep breath, calming the panic in his voice:

"I have no reason to lie to you, and I have no malicious intent."

If I had any improper thoughts, I could have simply stood by and watched those unarmed clerks die.

Moreover, my identity is best explained by the armor I wear, which is completely different from this universe.

Black Tower stood with his hands on his hips, his eyebrows slightly raised.

"I have never seen the armor structure you are wearing before."

Is it technology from your world?

Seeing that Black Tower's attention had been diverted, Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

That was close; I almost fell into the self-proving trap.

Talking to smart people is like navigating a minefield...
