Chapter 175
The heated AS Fighting Tournament, enthusiastic audience, excited cheers, and the intense collision between steel and steel all combined to create an explosive atmosphere at the venue.
Li Boyong and Sumeragi were watching today's match, the Crossbow Team versus the Steel Pipe Team, accompanied by the police chief.
Nami, piloting the latest M6 provided by Li Boyong, overcame the opponent's old-fashioned Enact after a hard-fought battle, securing her fifth victory in the league.
The match ended, the M6 knelt on one knee, and Nami opened the cockpit. She took off her helmet, stood on the M6's shoulder, tossed her ponytail with heroic spirit, and waved to the audience.
The audience at the scene erupted in enthusiastic response. The girl's petite figure and the AS's steel body formed a kind of ultimate beauty under the spotlight of the arena.
The beautiful girl AS pilot of the Crossbow Team!
The audience was completely captivated by this cheerful girl tossing her orange ponytail.
In the VIP box.
Sumeragi looked very happy watching Nami win. "That's great, Nami-chan really is talented, five wins out of five matches already."
"She certainly has good pilot aptitude," Li Boyong agreed.
Although the advantages of the machine's performance and the operating system accounted for a large part of Nami's victory, it could not be denied that this girl indeed possessed good AS piloting aptitude.
After all, until a month ago, she was just a refugee girl who had never come into contact with an AS.
"Congratulations to you both, the contestant you support has won again."
The police chief accompanying them to watch the match seized the opportunity to flatter them.
The chief's face, full of fat, was piled with smiles, but inwardly he was complaining about the big shot's twisted hobbies.
They had clearly sold so much weaponry, and who knows how many casualties they had indirectly caused.
Yet now they were here to aid war orphans and donate to the government for some Project Hope; it was simply crocodile tears.
However, that slum girl really had hit the jackpot to be noticed by Mr. Al; clearly, her life was about to take a major turn.
"Thanks, Chief." Li Boyong responded to the chief's flattery, "In the future, I'll leave Nami in your league to your good care."
"You're too kind, please rest assured, I will definitely take good care of her." The chief patted his chest to guarantee, then 'shyly' requested, "I also hope you can put in a good word for me within the organization."
"Oh, definitely, definitely, I'll give Leonard a heads-up." Li Boyong also patted his chest to guarantee.
Leonard?
The chief was stunned; clearly, he had never heard this name at all.
However, seeing Li Boyong speak so decisively, he subconsciously assumed this person was also a powerful figure within the organization and had a good relationship with Li Boyong.
Seeing the chief's reaction, Li Boyong knew the other party knew very little about the organization's inner workings.
It seems taking Nansang City won't be a difficult task.
————
With Li Boyong's pushing, Nami gradually became a super popular contestant in the league. After all, among a group of twisted-looking middle-aged male contestants, Nami, this beautiful girl, was very eye-catching.
What's more, her piloting ability wasn't weak; she even defeated many strong enemies in the league.
Some people questioned Nami's strength, but it couldn't stop people from liking her.
Under Li Boyong's arrangement, Nami not only had to participate in the league as a contestant but was also responsible for managing the team.
As a long-winning team in the league, the Crossbow Team's personnel kept increasing, and Li Boyong sent subordinates to assist, intentionally cultivating Nami's management ability.
Nami was very obedient to Li Boyong's series of arrangements. After this period of experience, she became increasingly aware of how lucky she was. Her life, which had been full of hardship, had been changed, and she was living a life she previously dared not imagine. Her companions had also been rescued and even regained the opportunity to attend school. All these changes started from meeting Li Boyong and Sumeragi, so she became increasingly respectful and obedient to Li Boyong's arrangements.
Then, on this day, after Nami won a match, she met Li Boyong and Sumeragi, who had come together, in the lounge.
"One-day Chief?" Nami repeated, subconsciously confused after hearing Li Boyong's request.
"That's right. You are now the most popular contestant in the league, so I used some influence to let you be the police chief of Nansang City for a day." Seeing Nami's confused expression, Li Boyong explained easily, "It's just something like a ceremony. Having a beautiful girl like you be chief for a day also helps improve the police department's image in the citizens' hearts, and you can also get some training. It's a win-win situation."
Seeing Nami still looking confused, Li Boyong patiently explained again, "Don't worry, my people will follow you. If there are any accidents, they will help you. Remember, just listen to their advice when the time comes."
"I understand." Nami looked at Sumeragi, and seeing her smiling encouragingly at her, her heart eased, and she nodded to show she understood.
Afterwards, Nami looked at Sumeragi with expectant eyes and asked, "Sumeragi-jie, can we have a meal together later?"
Sumeragi nodded with a smile, and Nami hugged her with immense happiness.
The next day, surrounded by a crowd of attendants, Nami put on a police uniform that didn't quite fit and began her experience at the police station.
Not only were Li Boyong's subordinates assisting her, but the police in the station were also very cooperative because this activity was operated through the government; government officials even came to support her on the day of the event.
She didn't see the usual police chief, and the chief's cronies were also absent. It seemed that to reflect the authenticity of the activity, the chief was on vacation outside today.
Now, it was as if she were the police chief, and the entire operation of the police station revolved around her.
The activity lasted until evening. Nami learned a lot throughout the day and also realized that Nansang City was truly a place with very poor public security, especially with rampant crime targeting tourists.
Nami felt that the efficiency of handling such cases was too low, which had a significant impact on Nansang City's tourism performance, so she tried to offer some suggestions, only to be smoothly brushed off.
After all, most of the perpetrators were local thugs or gangsters who had intricate ties with the police chief behind the scenes. How would these police officers offend the real chief because of Nami, a temporary chief who came for an activity?
But soon, in the evening, the ordinary police officers received news that they couldn't believe.
The chief and his cronies had accidentally encountered a powerful criminal group while on vacation today. The chief had fought bravely to protect the citizens but unfortunately sacrificed his life along with his subordinates.
Fortunately, thanks to the efforts of the chief and the others, there were no casualties among the citizens.
Truly a joyous and congratulatory occasion, truly joyous and congratulatory.
"This is truly a sad piece of news."
The government official accompanying Nami wore a compassionate look. He wiped his glasses and the corners of his eyes, then said to Nami, "That's how things are. In order to maintain the daily work of the police station, I hope you will continue to come to the station tomorrow."
"???" Nami was completely dumbfounded. Can it even be like this?
