Chapter 593: Unexpected Harvest

Ah, this... could there actually be an unexpected harvest?

Holding the small notebook given by the Director, having traded it for a part-time job as the warden of the death row prison, Leon couldn't help but reveal a quite sincere smile on his face as he looked at the new badge appearing on his interface.

A huge profit!

Although the new badge is only Bronze-level, whether it's the equipment effect that can improve arrest efficiency or the hidden trait that can discover criminals, both are quite practical abilities. It's just that, in this way, his badge slots seem to be running tight again...

Currently, he has a total of six slots. Among them, 【Materialist】 takes up one permanently, 【Connection】 takes up one to improve work efficiency, and considering the upcoming undercover mission, 【Elite Performer】 which improves acting skills must also take up one. This has already occupied three spots.

The remaining ones used to find criminals like 【Warden】, 【Pooper Scooper】 which allows telepathy with Youha, 【I Am the Devil】 which strengthens the effects of the sheep head and sheep heart, 【Prince of the Thrush】 which forces bowing, etc... these badges have to share the remaining three spots. Although they can be switched temporarily, it is inevitable that there will be times when it's too late.

Hmm... it seems that if there is an opportunity, he still needs to get a few more anomalous objects to increase the number of badge slots just in case...

"Mr. Leon."

Looking at Leon, whose eyes were a bit unfocused after taking the appointment letter and was clearly distracted, the assistant to the Minister of Public Security called him softly, then asked gently:

"May I ask, are you satisfied with this result?"

"Ah, satisfied! Very satisfied!"

After withdrawing his gaze from the badge interface, Leon smiled and shook hands with the middle-aged man in front of him, then asked:

"However, besides this matter, I have another thing that I need to trouble you with."

After hearing Leon's words, the polite middle-aged man smiled slightly, then answered:

"You are too polite. Before coming, the Minister specifically instructed me that within my ability, I must cooperate with all your requests. You can just say whatever you need."

"Then many thanks!"

After receiving a positive answer, Leon said with some joy:

"I wonder if the Police Department has anyone who is good at unarmed combat and has particularly outstanding skills? Can you recommend one to me?"

Someone with good skills?

The assistant to the Minister of Public Security was slightly startled upon hearing this, then said with some confusion:

"Mr. Leon, are you... looking for a personal bodyguard?"

"No."

Leon shook his head and said:

"What I want is not a bodyguard, but a teacher in combat. Oh, right! Don't give me someone with great strength; I want someone whose techniques are particularly outstanding, someone who can quickly teach me some practical combat skills."

Logically speaking, with a sniper rifle with a range of 500 meters and the 【Holy Spirit Pendant】 with a maximum lethal range of nearly 100 meters, Leon actually doesn't need to learn close-quarters combat skills.

But unfortunately, the rebels likely have intelligence regarding the Holy Spirit Pendant, causing this anomalous object that Leon relies on most to be directly "banned," and it's unlikely that a sniper rifle can be used as a conventional weapon.

In order to avoid truly becoming an ordinary person with no power to truss a chicken, Leon had to hold the Buddha's feet at the last minute, preparing to make a surprise attack during these three days and two nights to see if he could grind out a combat-type badge.

"I see."

After listening to Leon's general request, the assistant to the Minister of Public Security thought for a while, then said with some uncertainty:

"As for our Police Department... because we are relatively restrained in the use of firearms and don't rely on them as much as the military, there are indeed quite a few people who are good at combat in recent years.

But combat is something that relies heavily on talent. Having great strength and speed is always a huge advantage, so someone whose pure technique is outstanding is really... hmm... it seems there really is one! Come with me!"

After leading Leon out of the office and down to the lobby on the first floor of the Police Department headquarters, the assistant to the Minister of Public Security pointed to a photo posted on the lobby display board and said:

"Mr. Leon, this is a photo of the department's combat competition this summer. The three people on the podium are the top three, and the third place is exactly the person you need!"

Third place... holy crap?

Looking at the long-legged woman on the podium in the photo, with a bandage wrapped around her forehead, a large bronze medal with a fist drawn on it hanging around her neck, and an unhappy expression, Leon couldn't help but gasp.

"Miss Yisha?"

"You know her?"

"Uh... I know her, and our relationship should be considered quite good, right?"

"Haha, that's even better!"

Seeing Leon call out the female police officer's name directly, the assistant to the Minister of Public Security became even more enthusiastic, directly recommending her with endless praise:

"Miss Miss Yisha is not only the flower of the Secret Investigation Bureau, but also a true elite of our Police Department! Whether it's shooting, combat, driving, or reconnaissance, every ability is among the best! Especially her combat level, which is firmly in the top three!

In addition, don't look at the fact that she only got third place in the competition; that's because there were rules restricting her. Many moves that attack the crotch... uh... vital points like the eyes cannot be used. Otherwise, it's really hard to say what the result would have been." "..."

Don't think I don't understand just because you said half of it. She's particularly good at kicking people in the balls, right? Isn't she?

In Leon's speechless expression, the assistant to the Minister of Public Security smiled embarrassedly, then concluded:

"In short, if you ask who in the Police Department can fight the best, I might not be sure, but if you ask whose combat technique is the best, then it must be Miss Miss Yisha!

After all, with a woman's physical fitness and ability to withstand strikes, being able to get third place in a competition that restricts many dangerous moves and doesn't distinguish by weight class is enough to prove how outstanding her combat technique is!"

"..."

Putting it that way... that's true.

Looking at the two "bear" police officers wearing gold and silver medals, and weighing the size gap between them and Miss Yisha, Leon couldn't help but nod in agreement.

"Then I'll go find her myself. Thank you very much for your recommendation."

"You are too polite."

The polite middle-aged man smiled:

"I just helped you save a little time. Since you and Miss Miss Yisha are acquaintances, even if I didn't recommend you to her, she would eventually offer to teach you herself."

"Not teaching! Absolutely not teaching!"

Contrary to the middle-aged man's prediction, when Leon found the female police officer at the shooting range and stated his purpose, he was directly met with an unhesitating refusal.

After throwing the ear muffs used for sound insulation into the storage basket, looking at the scumbag who had stood her up and still had the nerve to come to her for help, the female police officer gritted her teeth and questioned:

"You bastard, you still have the nerve to come find me? Do you remember what you promised me before?"

"..."

What did I promise you before?

Uh... speaking of which, when was the last time I saw you? There have been a lot of messy things lately, and I can't quite remember...

"The dungeon! The dungeon of the Secret Investigation Bureau!"

Looking at Leon's somewhat confused eyes, knowing that he had forgotten everything, the female police officer was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. She stomped her feet hard and said:

"I helped you get the opportunity to interrogate the rebels one-on-one, and then I discovered that our Director was a rebel, and in the end, the whole dungeon was blown up... Do you remember now?"

"..."

Oh right! It seems there really was such a thing.

After listening to the female police officer's reminder, a flash of realization crossed Leon's eyes.

Later, the female police officer wanted to know about the Scar-faced Director, but he didn't want to explain the existence of anomalous objects to her, and he was thinking about going to the Ma Sai Ni family's Rose Manor to save people, so he just brushed her off, saying he would tell her tomorrow. Then the female police officer nodded and said she would wait for me in the office tomorrow...

Uh... from then until now, it seems like almost a week has passed, right?

And the most fatal thing is that the female police officer still has no infection value, and her memories involving anomalous events must have been affected by the Brain of the Evil God, so the agreement between him and her has probably been changed into something unknown.

"This... there have been a lot of things in the bureau recently, and I really can't remember the original agreement... How about you say it again?"

Under the female police officer's glare, Leon scratched the back of his head and requested with some embarrassment:

"Also, I am about to go on a very dangerous mission, and I can't use firearms, so I need to learn some combat techniques temporarily. The assistant to the Minister of Public Security said that you are the person with the best combat techniques in the Police Department, so... can I ask you to teach me?"

"..."

"Can you?"

"..."

Looking at Leon, who continued to ask for advice with a thick skin, the female police officer, who was full of anger, clenched her fists and wanted to raise her hand to punch him, but in the end, she let go powerlessly.

You've already said it to this point, what else can I do? Can I really not teach you at all and watch you go to your death?

"Fine..."

After rolling her eyes at this thick-skinned man, the female police officer sighed in resignation, then picked up her things, hummed unhappily, and said:

"Go to the playground and wait for me... Let's get this straight first: when I teach people combat, it's going to be real combat. Don't cry if you get beaten up later!"
