   A new take on armor-themed fanfiction, abandoning the action-packed battles for a brain-teasing intellectual challenge! 📖 Featuring the background of Armor 1, behind-the-scenes power struggles, and supernatural suspense, this story offers a fresh and exciting experience. The protagonist doesn't engage in direct combat; instead, he manipulates the situation through funding, authorization, and a chain of evidence. Old copper rivets, radiation-proof coatings—small clues slowly piece together the truth, rejecting the forced power-ups of a system. Meizhen: Where exactly are you pushing us? Lin Yu: You protect the city; I'll ensure this war isn't just about hot-blooded bravado. Everyone is restrained; the female characters each have their own careers. If you're looking for a transformation-and-face-slapping, feel-good story, this is for you. But if you enjoy mind-bending puzzles, this is for you!
