You Asked Me to Build a Mech, So Who Do You Think You’re Fooling with That Cardboard?

Apocalypse + Superpowers + Mecha + Lighthearted Comedy

"This is cardboard."

"To be precise, it's a laminated composite material. There's an aluminum plate inside. With my ability boosting it, it's eighteen times stronger than ordinary aluminum plate. Regular bullets can't penetrate it."

"You expect me to wear cardboard?!"

"Then why don't you go ask the supermarket if they sell this stuff?"

The red-haired girl rolled her eyes. "Can your ability even be trusted?"

Jiang Yang closed the breastplate and started up the mecha. The engine roared to life, its modest power greatly amplified by his ability.

He stepped forward and wrapped an arm around Su Fei's waist.

"Hey, what are you do, Aaaaaah!"

Su Fei's scream rang through the night. Jiang Yang tossed her straight into the air, sending her nearly two stories high.

When he caught her again, she had a miniature pistol in her hand, its barrel pointed right at his helmet.

"Not bad," she said through gritted teeth. "Can your mecha stop bullets?"

"It's bulletproof. The cardboard's thirty times stronger than the original material..."

Bang! The bullet ricocheted off the mecha near Jiang Yang's shoulder.

"You actually shot at me?!"

"I trusted your mecha to take it."
