"Yes."
Li Zi casually sipped his Coke—just like a fighter pilot always thinks that a car is not fast enough, it is the same for Li Zi who is used to space warfare.
"Well, maybe this is the world of the strong? Speaking of which, where did you learn to drive your AS?" Nami asked curiously.
"Look at the manual." Li Zi replied truthfully—this is just a basic operation for Gundam pilots.
"Pfft...cough cough, read the manual!?"
"Yes."
"I'm really joking. How can you learn to drive an AS by reading the manual? It's not a household appliance." Nami smiled, and became more and more curious about Li Zi.
"But you are really amazing, you obviously look about my age."
"So-so, aren't you the same? AS's operating system is not something that just anyone can handle."
"Manipulate the system? Isn't it possible for anyone who knows how to click a computer to do it?" Nami was stunned.
"You really don't realize it."
The friendship between the two parties is still shallow, and it is obviously not the best time to tell Nami the truth, so Li Zi just laughed and said nothing.Mayo next to her looked away from the poster on the wall of the bar, and then asked her, "Sister Nami, can I ask you a few questions?"
"Of course, what?"
Mayo's affinity was too strong for Nami to resist.
"How do you have AS? That's not something that a person can have, right?"
I was often asked this question, and there was no reason to hide it, so Nami just said it bluntly.
"I picked it up, outside the village in my hometown. This country was still in flames of war three years ago, right? My village was burned down, my family was separated, and everyone died—"
Nami turned the wine glass and said with a sad expression.Obviously it was only a year or two ago, but in her memory, it seemed to be decades ago, lacking brilliance and depressing.
"That savage is left over from the guys who burned the village down because they ran out of fuel, so it was thrown away, super ugly squatting there, blocked the drains, and the light oil in the tank was leaking everywhere All, but... before that, people in the village either ran away or died."
"A war?"
"Well. Government troops, anti-government troops, armies from various countries came in and out. The men went out as soldiers and went on expeditions, and never came back. The women... were either captured by other soldiers or Rape, or come to this town just to make a living. Hey, it’s just the same old plot. Should I not tell you this?” She looked at Mayo—a young lady from a peaceful country would be Scared?
But Mayo didn't.
"It's a good thing you're still fine."
"It's just luck. When the village was attacked, I happened to go out to the neighboring village, and when I came back, there was nothing—" Nami stared down at the liquid in the glass.
The scene I saw at that time flashed in my mind again.I thought this matter could be understated, but it really didn't work.
"Later, I had something I wanted to do, but I had no money. I also wanted to dance on the first floor of this tavern to make money, but it didn't work at all. No matter what kind of things a little girl can earn, there is not much money. Yes. Even try to stand in the street like those poor kids - at best you get wrecked before earning the necessary money and get trampled like a rag. But the Colosseum is different Yes. If you do it well, you can make a lot of money. Especially if you can advance to the A rank, you can live a luxurious life.”
"I see. But if you need money, why don't you sell that AS? It should be worth a lot of money, right?"
"Not enough." Nami shook her head.
"Not enough? What are you going to do?"
"I want to rebuild that village." Nami showed a gentle smile of nostalgia: "Use the money earned here to restore the barren fields to their original state, rebuild roads and bridges, and then restore the school I used to go to. That's what it was. That's what it's about now."
"School?"
"Yes. I went to a small school there. It was destroyed by bombs and AS, and the gentle teacher died, but it's a great school."
"It's a great school, isn't it..." Mayu murmured with a heavy heart. The world is the same. Some people are happy and some are miserable.
Li Zi on the side also frowned slightly - Nami's idea sounds simple, but it is very troublesome to operate, it is definitely not something that can be done by just paying money, it seems that a long-term plan is still needed.
"Really, why do I say this, please be happy, everyone."
Feeling that the atmosphere was off topic, Nami hurriedly smoothed things over, changing the subject and asking Li Zi: "What are you going to do tomorrow? If you have any arrangements, please let me know in advance."
"Actually, there is no arrangement. I think AS fighting is good, so I want to continue participating for a while."
Since even Mayu complained about his poor melee combat, Li Zi planned to hone his skills in the arena—it was rare to have so many free training partners, so it was not for nothing.
"Are you going to continue participating in the competition?" Nami asked in surprise.
"That's right, bet on me a lot, you're going to make a lot of money soon." Li Zi smiled.
"Great--!"
After everything was settled, Qian Tu was also bright. Surprised, the smiling Nami hugged Li Zi directly, laughing and dancing.
This guy is really informal.
Feeling the subtle touch from his arm, Li Zi's cheeks flushed, and he couldn't take strong measures. He was at a loss for a while, and could only stagger and move his hands and feet following Nami's movements.The maintenance team also let go of their voices, sang the national anthem and military anthem from somewhere, and stomped on the floor made of cheap materials.
Chapter 71
"Boss, have another drink!"
Nami raised an empty beer glass and shouted, seeing her happy smile, Li Zi couldn't help aiming at her waist.
"Duplicity~" The girl noticed this keenly, and approached her with a smirk and asked, "Are you fascinated by my vest line?"
"Vest thread?" Li Zi sneered, "Is there such a thing in a bucket?"
"I say you! It's too much! Look! This beautiful waistcoat thread and mermaid thread! It's not like a bucket!" Nami, who was a little on top, lifted up her clothes and showed Li Zi her healthy belly.
"That's because you're still young. If you continue this unhealthy lifestyle and consume too much alcohol, you will become a real bucket sooner or later." Li Zi squinted at her, and Mayu next to her burst out laughing.
"Damn it! How dare you say that!"
Angrily, Nami put down her clothes and jumped up to fight. Li Zi raised his hand and held her head to prevent her from succeeding. Then she called the waiter to pay the bill, and stood up to take Mayo and the twin sisters to leave.
"Huh? Are we leaving now?"
Nami looked at the wall clock in the bar, it was only a quarter past ten.
"Yes, a good routine is conducive to the growth and development of teenagers." Li Zi pointed to Mayo, the twin sisters, and finally to herself.
"Youth, youth?" Nami was stunned, and then realized that except for Mayu, the other three seemed to be about the same age as her.
"Don't worry about it, you can continue, whatever you want." Li Zi said to the three maintenance staff who were clearly not satisfied, and then reached out to grab Nami's collar: "You come too."
"What are you doing!? Let me go." Nami danced in surprise.
"Are you a bodyguard? From now on, you can't leave our sight."
"The bodyguard is AS?"
"But you're the one who gets the money, don't be so wordy, I'll invite you to live in a high-end hotel."
"My lord, please be gentle with our manager~"
"You are so noisy!"
The maintenance staff laughed meaningfully, making Nami flushed with embarrassment.
A group of people left the bar, and Li Zi called a taxi—taking five people was obviously overloaded, but no one cares about this in Nansang.
"Actually, there is no need to worry too much. There are no games scheduled for this week. You are safe as long as you stay in the hotel."
Said Nami, who was held in the middle of the twin sisters while sitting in the back seat of a taxi.
"what are you saying?"
"Of course it's the cannibals. Even they don't dare to mess around in high-end hotels where foreigners live."
"Ah, this."
If Nami didn't say anything, Li Zi would have forgotten about it.
"We won't stay in the hotel all the time." He said, "From tomorrow onwards, I will be competing consecutively. Can it be arranged?"
"Are you serious!?" Nami was taken aback, she thought Lizi had said that just to play around with Mayu.
"Yes, so the body maintenance is up to you. Don't worry about money. You must use the best parts."
"Uh, oh, that's it."
Nami was overwhelmed by the words 'don't worry about the money', so that after Li Zi took her into the hotel's resplendent presidential suite, he didn't show any more surprises.
"Sister Nami, let's take a bath together."
Mayu dragged Nami, who was at a loss, to the bathroom. Nami looked back at Li Zi, and found that he was really staring at the night scene outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, frowning slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
……
"Namsan is a stronghold of Amalgam, isn't it?"
While Mayu and Nami are taking a shower, Riko asks the twin sisters standing by.
"Why do you know?" Xia Yufang's face showed a rare look of surprise.
Li Zi didn't answer directly, but continued to ask: "The Colosseum is actually a junior selection center for amalgam AS pilots. On top of that, there is also a senior selection center, right?"
"..." Xia Yufang was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right, many of them, including the pilot of the hell king, came from here—this is your goal!?"
"No, I'm not interested in being an amalgam pilot, just a bigger one."
"Are you going to be a cadre of Amalgam!?"
"If I don't get what I want here, I'll consider doing that."
"With all due respect, it won't be that easy, it's very difficult to be an executive officer of Amalgam, they're all—"
"No need to introduce," Li Zi raised his hand to interrupt Xia Yufang: "I know more about amalgam than you think, and it's actually not that difficult. You should know Mr. Yin, right?" He turned to Xia Yufang and said with a smile: "Reynard Testarossa, I am similar to him."
"..." The twin sisters widened their eyes in astonishment, but when they thought of the two incredible steel giants on the transport ship, they were convinced again
"There seems to be a lot of discontent within Amalgam against him, and that can be tapped into."
"Indeed." Xia Yufang nodded. If such a person is willing to join the amalgam, the amalgam will probably give him the status of executive officer.
"But this is just a backup option. If possible, I would rather spend money to solve the problem." Li Zi shrugged. If he added the amalgam, Tessa's favorability would definitely drop to a negative number.
"The lambda drive cores you want are held in the related research institutes and factories that have a close relationship with Amalgam, and I don't think they will sell them to you."
"Haha, that's not necessarily true. The current amalgam has deteriorated, and the so-called executive officers are just a group of military-industrial complex capitalists. Capitalists, as long as there is a [-]% profit, the noose that will hang you if you betray Question. Didn't Mithril get some cores?"
"Noose!? Are you going to be their enemy!?"
"Don't do this, you will die!"
The faces of the twin sisters changed drastically. They were born in amalgam and they knew too well how terrible this organization was.Even if Li Zi had an incredible body like the Iron Angel, it was nothing compared to the mass of the amalgam.
"You don't need to show such expressions. Although I don't like amalgam, as long as they don't come to spoil my business, I won't do anything to them."
"What will happen to them!?"
Listening to Li Zi's tone of voice, the twin sisters thought he was crazy.
"That's why you guys are too young, too naive, and haven't seen the market before." Seeing the doubtful eyes of the two sisters, Li Zi decided to give them a strong dose of medicine, completely subduing their hearts: "Stretch out your hands."
Li Zi stretched out his hand to the two of them, and the twin sisters held it dubiously.
The separated nano-core re-established the connection, and the next second, the two were surprised to find that the surrounding scenery had changed—they were in the dark universe, and the blue earth was under their feet.When the panicked sisters looked at Li Zi again, they found a huge monster that looked like a sphinx and was comparable in size to a super nuclear-powered aircraft carrier floating behind him.There are flashing beacon lights all over its surface, like the spaceships that often appear in Hollywood science fiction works, but it looks even more murderous.
"This is……"
"Illusion?"
The two sisters pinched each other's faces, and then they both frowned because of the pain. Li Zi couldn't help laughing at the cute actions.
"It's the real thing. The Archangel-class assault space battleship No. 2, the Lord Angel. So, if it weren't for those rules, the amalgam would not be our opponent at all."
Chapter 72 The Dark Horse of the Colosseum
The next morning, as soon as Li Zi opened his eyes, he found that Nami, who was only wearing underwear, was sleeping soundly next to him, breathing innocently.
Looking down at his trousers, he was still dressed properly, and Li Zi, who was sure that he did not make a mistake, calmed down and muttered while raising his foot to wake her up.
"When... did you come to my bed?"
She was able to avoid her vigilance, how did she do it?
"Good morning~"
Nami sat up, yawned and stretched, and said sleepily, and then she saw Plum and was also startled.
