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

The Trail Blazers stared blankly at Jiang Ning as he pushed open the door, his eyes filled with surprise and delight, the grogginess from just waking up instantly dissipating.

"Brother Jiangning? What are you doing here!"

"Would you believe me if I said I was just passing by?"

Jiang Ning walked into the house with a smile, casually smoothing the hem of her snow-covered coat, her tone calm and composed.

"After we parted ways with you, Iz and I stayed in the lower district for a while."

I just happened to hear that some guests from the upper district had been 'invited' to Pan Rock Town by Sambo, so I came to check it out.

Natasha stood with her arms crossed, watching the two meet quietly, a knowing calm in her eyes.

Although she didn't know Jiang Ning's background completely, she understood that the gray-haired girl who was negotiating with Jiang Ning was probably no ordinary person either.

"Brother Jiang Ning...do you know Ms. Natasha?"

Natasha frequently glanced at Jiang Ning, her eyes filled with a complex mix of expectation and worry that even a star could easily detect.

"Oh, this one? He's an old acquaintance."

Jiang Ning stepped aside to clear the air vent, turned to look at Natasha, and his expression changed from casual to serious.

"I've roughly figured out the situation on the way here. Where's the information I needed?"

"I thought you would bring your robot secretary with you. After all, this data is too old, and even if it is collected, it will take a lot of time to find the key information in it."

Natasha nodded slightly, then walked straight to the counter, opened the drawer, and took out a stack of documents sealed in a paper bag.

The paper bag was somewhat worn, but not flimsy; the secrets sealed inside were enough to drive a major transformation between the upper and lower sections.

Everything you need is here.

She handed the document to Jiang Ning, her tone serious and solemn:

"Tell me honestly, how confident are you about your plan?"

"Um……"

Jiang Ning rested his chin on his hand, feigning deep thought.

"have no idea."

Natasha's brow twitched almost imperceptibly. She took a half step forward, her gaze fixed on Jiang Ning, and lowered her voice.

"What do you mean you don't know...?! You..."

"Relax, relax~"

Seeing that Natasha was a little agitated, Jiang Ning raised his hand and gently patted Natasha's shoulder.

Believe it, belief needs no reason.

"Have you found Bronya yet? She's wandering around the lower districts alone; she's probably having a lot of trouble."

Jiang Ning changed the subject abruptly, looking out the window at the dimly lit street.

Natasha was speechless for a moment, her urge to retort reaching its peak, and in the end, she could only sigh and facepalm:

"You better really have a solution. Even without seeing it with my own eyes, I can guess that the upper district is already in chaos because of you guys."

Jiang Ning turned his back, suppressing the smile on his lips.

He wants chaos, the more chaotic the better.

After all, as Star Iron famously said: Rules are meant to be broken!

Without prior chaos, the order he desires cannot be established.

"Okay~ I'll go talk to that girl, it'll be quick."

Jiang Ning stretched, waved his hand dismissively, and walked straight towards the door.

As Jiang Ning approached the gate, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at Natasha.

"By the way, do you know where Sambo is, Ms. Natasha?"

"Sambo...? What do you want with him?"

"Hehe, don't worry about that. My personal matters won't interfere with Belloberg's order, don't worry."

Natasha frowned, increasingly unable to fathom the thoughts in the mind of this eccentric man before her.

For a "leader," this feeling is quite terrible, especially when the target is Sambo...

"He's with Dan Heng. If you can get in touch with that cold-noodle guy, you'll naturally be able to find him too."

"Alright, goodbye~"

Jiang Ning turned and left without pausing.

Upon seeing this, Xing hurriedly turned over and jumped off the bed.

"Brother Jiangning! Wait for me, I want to go too!"

The two walked along the main road, while Xing looked at Jiang Ning with curiosity and kept talking.

"Brother Jiangning, what have you been doing while we've been separated?"

"How come you've risen to such a high position in Yalilo VI so quickly? Even that doctor sister seems so wary of you."

Listening to the incessant chatter of the curious child beside him, Jiang Ning responded helplessly.

"It's nothing much, just promoting my company's culture and giving these natives a little taste of alien technology."

Xing listened, scratched his head, and looked like he understood but didn't quite.

"What about Iz? Didn't she come with you?"

"Iz... I've sent her to do other things."

Besides, Iz's appearance is too conspicuous in the lower areas; having her around would cause unnecessary trouble and hinder progress.

"That's true."

Xing crossed her arms and nodded in agreement.

As the two were chatting happily, a pink and blue figure appeared at the street intersection.

"March!"

Xing couldn't help but shout out and rushed towards the figure, completely unaware that there were three petite figures in front of March 7.

"!!!"

Xing slammed on the brakes, narrowly missing the little girl with pigtails wearing a huge hat.

"Hey! You clumsy fellow, how could you almost bump into Lord Hook in black!"

An angry but childish voice reached her ears, and Xing lowered her head, scratching her head helplessly.

"I'm so sorry! It's pitch black... um... what?"

"It's Lord Hook the Black! You bastard! Don't you have any basic manners?"

Being scolded in public by a child made Xing feel embarrassed, and she awkwardly looked at March 7, who was watching the show with a smirk.

"March... what's going on?"

March 7th pursed her lips, forcibly suppressing the smile on her face, and slowly opened her mouth.

"I heard from that doctor that Danheng was taken away by a strange guy named Sangbo, but the underground signal is bad and I can't contact him, so I wanted to ask a local."

After asking around, the only witnesses were these three kids. They even made me play hide-and-seek, insisting I win to prove I was qualified to join some kind of "mole gang" before they would tell me anything.

As March 7th was mentioned, a headache suddenly struck, and he raised his hand to rub his temples.

"Anyway, that's the situation... Now you understand, right? I'm really out of ideas, please help me~"

While Xing Liqing was clarifying the current situation, Jiang Ning slowly walked to his side and waved to March 7 with a smile.

"You seem quite enthusiastic, not like you're having a hard time."

Just as March 7th was about to greet him, Jiang Ning's words immediately made her face turn bright red.

"No way! What do you take me for? I'm not that childish!"

Jiang Ning chuckled lightly, offering no rebuttal.

"By the way, since Brother Jiang Ning, you're here too, then the three of us can each take turns looking for one. That way it'll be faster, what do you say?"

On March 7th, she put her brilliant mind to work and came up with a highly efficient solution.

"I was quite interested... but unfortunately, I also need to find someone, so I probably won't be able to hang out with you guys."

Leave it to Xing; she's good at these things.

Once you've finished dealing with Danheng, remember to share the news with me. Bye~

Jiang Ning waved his hand, turned around and disappeared into the alley.

On March 7th, watching Jiang Ning's figure gradually disappear, she exchanged a helpless glance with Xing.

"Brother Jiangning is still the same...would you call this 'appearing and disappearing without a trace'?"

Xing shrugged, having nothing to say.

Although this word seems a bit inappropriate, it seems fine to describe Jiangning?

"Then let's just the two of us take on these three little guys! I won't lose!"

"Boring adults... The 'Mole Party' doesn't want guys like that..."

Hook muttered something uninteresting, but then composed himself and faced the two of them.

"Fine, you two! Prepare yourselves to be defeated by Lord Black Hook!"

…………

On the other side, Jiang Ning, completely unaware that he had been expelled from the "organization," silently fastened the Zero One Driver to his waist.

He doesn't have time to waste playing children's games.

There's no signal underground, that applies to regular communication devices, what does that have to do with me, "Zeya"?

As consciousness was uploaded to "Zea," thought and computing power synchronized, and the entire layout of the lower Beloberg district was clearly imprinted in his mind.

His destination, a red dot, flashed prominently on the map in his mind.

However, around the flashing red dot, there seemed to be a ring of smaller red dots that were constantly closing in.

"It seems our candidate for High Guardian is running into some trouble?"

Jiang Ning followed the map's directions and eventually, Bronya, surrounded by a group of refugees from the lower districts, appeared before him.
