Revisit Azur Lane

"Observer, what do you want to talk to me about?"

After saying this, Zhou He looked at the Observer with great interest. In terms of appearance, the Observer's mechanical ear loli image was the one that most appealed to his sex appeal in the experimental organization. It's just a pity that even the meta ship girls of the Ember series have been added to the port in the game, but there is no way to obtain these Sirens.

I wonder if a way to obtain it will appear a few years after he transmigrates.

"Since this is a negotiation, isn't it impolite to conceal one's true appearance?"

The observer asked in return with a calm expression. This was not just muttering, but her serious reflection. The two were talking face to face, but she could not see the other person's face and therefore could not observe the changes in the other person's thoughts and emotions through expressions, which had a huge impact on her.

"I'm so sorry, but unfortunately I can't agree to that condition."

Zhou He's eyes flickered slightly. Last time, the Purifier couldn't see his appearance clearly either, and now the Observer couldn't either. The system was consciously concealing his image in the Sirens' eyes.

He could then take advantage of this to mislead the Sirens' perception of him through his manner of speaking.

"..."

The observer felt uneasy. Her current situation was far from what she had expected, and after only saying a few words, the ship girls around her started gossiping as if they were about to kill her at any moment.

This feeling of being unable to control the overall situation is terrifying, but it is not enough to affect their emotional system.

The tester and the purifier both underwent different levels of emotional system correction. The tester's correction was relatively gradual, while the purifier's was extremely pronounced. The difference between the two lies in the fact that the tester died in the mirrored sea invaded by the ominous sign, while the purifier returned safely.

A deeper difference is that the Purifier had contact with the people of this port area and had spoken with the man in front of her who was called 'Commander'. She couldn't see his face and expression, so she couldn't judge whether what he said was true. However, considering that he released the Purifier after the battle, it means that he at least kept his promise, and his words were relatively credible.

Data characters flashed in the observer's golden eyes, and in just a few seconds, she had outlined the next course of action. She slightly raised her head and looked up at the gray figure: "The singularity you are in is not a complete world, but an independent space created based on your own research that is linked to this world. Its existence has caused spatial disorder in this sea area. If you cannot stabilize this spreading fluctuation, it will continue to exist, attracting spaces from other test sites to enter a superposition state, and ominous signs will continue to descend upon this place."

Her words made Zhou He's head buzz, like when a teacher was lecturing in school, the words going in one ear and out the other; he heard them, but didn't fully absorb them.

However, having been exposed to a wealth of information, he quickly understood what the observer meant. It was essentially saying that the system's decision to place its own port here directly affected the surrounding space, and that the previous overlapping of the mirror-like sea area was the system's fault.

But if it's the system's fault, what does it have to do with him? He'd love for more Mirror Sea and Ominous Signs to give him more experience, chests, and materials.

He chuckled and didn't take it seriously at all: "Miss Observer, you don't need to worry about that. As long as you are willing to leave this area, we can handle these things ourselves."

"Is that right?"

The observer also smiled, turning his gaze to the others present: "According to the data we've preserved, the vast majority of these ship girls who obey your orders were built using resources obtained from sinking our fleet. If we withdraw from this area and take all the data and resources with us, can you still develop so rapidly?"

"..."

Zhou He frowned. As expected of an observer, she was much more difficult to deal with than the testers and purifiers. If she really did remove all the data and the fleet as she said, he could indeed live peacefully here.

But the most important thing is the development of the port area: if he wants to build test sites for other worlds near his home, the basic condition is that there is a mirror sea near his home. In other words, without the help of the sirens to set up test sites, neither the mirror sea nor the ominous entity will appear out of thin air.

Without the Rubik's Cube, their development time would be indefinitely prolonged, or even halted.

Don't be fooled by the fact that they currently have 36 ship girls and more than a dozen reserve cubes; that's still only about fifty people in total. With such a small number, how can they possibly fight the Sirens on a long journey? Once they're away from their home turf, everything will become uncontrollable. They currently lack the strength to directly confront the Sirens.

Zhou He felt a bit of a toothache. It was their first meeting, and he hadn't revealed any information to the Purifier. Yet, the Purifier had directly grasped his core weakness simply through observation and data analysis. Although the Observer wasn't very good at fighting, he was quite adept at manipulating people's mentality.

But he wouldn't back down, so he quickly adjusted his mindset and replied in a nonchalant tone, "So what? Since I can be here, I can naturally go to other testing grounds as well."

"really?"

The observer asked meaningfully, "The combat data in the base is clearly written. When this singularity appeared, there was only one ship girl, Yuudachi. At that time, Yuudachi even risked her life to go out and fight the enemy. Even after being surrounded by them, she did not evacuate this world."

These two points alone are enough to conclude that the passage to this singularity only connects to their world, and at least for now, there is no way to travel to other testing grounds.

She was the one in danger, yet she managed to take the initiative in negotiations with Zhou He—this was the effect of an intelligence gap.

"Whether it's true or not, you're welcome to try it out. Hopefully, our next meeting won't be in such a setting."

This conversation made Zhou He very unhappy. He realized that he had entered the observer's rhythm. Before he could let something slip, he chose to end the conversation and turned to Xue Feng, saying, "Thank you for your help."

He cut off the video.

"That's what he said, goodbye."

Before the observer could react, the white wolf beneath her leaped from the sea and slapped her onto the surface, then used its mouth to drag her and her ship's equipment away from the crowd.

"For the commander to be so impatient, this guy is definitely something else."

Zuikaku watched the observer being taken away by Yukikaze, her fingers gently stroking her smooth chin, and looked at the others: "I thought she would also try to find an opportunity to escape through cooperation."

"Well, in my experience, if the commander can hold back for a few more words, it's time to start negotiating terms."

New Jersey nodded in agreement, then gave a somewhat goofy smile: "However, I think the Commander's decision to execute her was correct. If the port can only develop by cooperating with the enemy, then what's the point of developing it?"

"That's true, but the commander's negotiation skills are indeed too inexperienced. Do you have any proposals?"

Hood thought so too. Last time, she cooperated with the Purifier because of the oppressive feeling brought by the Ominous entity. Why should she cooperate with the Observer this time? Just because of her verbal threats?

After being beaten so badly by them, they still dared to spout nonsense. She really didn't believe that the observers could swallow this insult and not come back to retaliate.

"You'll handle the next round of negotiations with foreign parties."

Bismarck made the suggestion.

There are no friendly units nearby that they can coordinate with, so how can Zhou He hone his negotiation skills? Besides, who says that a commander has to be an expert in everything?

If Zhou He has already done all the work, what's the point of having them?

"Ok?"

Hood glanced sideways at Bismarck's serious expression and nodded slightly: "I understand. I'll ask the Commander for permission when I get back."

After saying that, she smiled at Shoukaku, New Jersey and the others and said, "If the Commander asks me to take on this position, I hope that you will not interfere with my judgment on the surface."

"It's natural."

Shokaku understands perfectly, and New Jersey also smiled and gave a thumbs up.

Although historically, Hood died young, her diplomatic skills, honed during her imperial tours that traversed the world, were unmatched by anyone present.

Bang!

While they were discussing, the sound of artillery fire and explosions, though not very loud, came from afar; it was Yukikaze's execution of the observers.

"what--"

Yukikaze was confident she could send Observer back to the mainframe with a single shot, but as she was about to turn around, she suddenly spotted a figure emerging from the fireworks. The petite figure and the crab-like ship rigging on its side looked remarkably similar to Observer. She frowned and scanned the figure with her radar, immediately identifying its model and letting out a surprised exclamation.

"What's wrong? Oh, it's a new member! Yukikaze, you're so lucky."

Attracted by her scream, some people approached and found that the new member had emerged from the battle. Yuudachi praised her with great pleasure, and the others also gathered around to observe the new member.

First of all, this new member is from Sakura Empire, because she has very noticeable upright ears, with black downy hair covering the outside of her ears and mixed with her smooth black hair. She wears a gorgeous gold hair ornament by her ears and a red dress with two white and gold-trimmed stripes that connect the two sides of the dress from a gold foil pendant on her chest. Her attire looks like that of a shrine maiden, but it is too luxurious. Combined with the girl's calm expression, it is obvious that she comes from a wealthy family.

"Isn't that Nagato?"

Everyone was still waiting for Zhou He's news when Kaga BB stepped out from the crowd. She was pleasantly surprised to see an acquaintance and went up to greet him: "Since you're here, the city should be here soon too."

Who are you?

The girl known as Nagato stared at Kaga BB with a puzzled look in her eyes, appearing somewhat dazed.

"Have you forgotten? I am Kaga."

Kaga BB smiled and pointed to himself with his thumb, his little expression quite proud, but unfortunately, Nagato's eyes held even deeper doubt.

How could she remember that Kaga was an aircraft carrier?

Chapter 176 Suddenly Blocked at the Door

Yuudachi and Yukikaze ran very fast, but the others also returned at full speed, so the actual difference was only about twenty minutes.

While Zhou He was putting a ring on Yuudachi's finger, Yukikaze was lost in her whimsical thoughts. Meanwhile, Ayanami, Cassin, Count Spee, and the others were also slowly escorting their flagship back to the bay in the dark. Upon hearing the commotion, Zhou He first smiled and patted Yuudachi's head, telling her to go back and take a bath to recover. He then stood in the wind and waited quietly.

"Commander, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting~"

The fastest to arrive were the destroyers. Bush, already familiar with the port's atmosphere, hopped up the steps to Zhou He, cheerfully raising her hand to greet him. Her well-behaved and lively demeanor was equally heartwarming. Zhou He leaned down slightly, smiling, and extended his palm to give her small hand a high five: "Welcome home. Dinner is ready. Please wait for me a little longer."

"Okay~ I'll go take a shower."

Bush obediently responded, spreading his arms and running quickly toward the command post. His lively appearance made Zhou He unable to suppress a smile.

Soon, the others also landed one after another. Some simply greeted him, while others had brief conversations with him. For example, London, who had been severely injured on the battlefield, asked others about her sudden recovery from her injuries and learned that it was Zhou He's special ability.

But as a human, why would she possess such abilities, almost like an ultimate repair ship? Filled with doubt, she directly asked Zhou He.

"I possess a high-priority research and development system capable of collecting various resources and energy to support your construction and development, port construction, and material synthesis..."

Zhou He had answered this question from his ship girl many times before, and now he had found the final answer. He simply pointed to his head with a smile and said, "This is the fundamental reason why I was able to become a commander."

"!?"

London was filled with awe. She never expected that her commander, who looked like a person, was actually not purely human.

No wonder people are interested in dating them; most people wouldn't want to be friends with weapons of war like them.

"Commander is so handsome!"

London accepted his explanation, and Ayanami, who was passing by, cast a longing look at Zhou He, making Zhou He's eye twitch. This explanation was already the closest he could get to the system's capabilities, and there was no way to optimize it further.

"Please don't make things difficult for the commander."

Hu De disembarked at the dock and approached Zhou He with a slight smile, helping him out of the predicament: "Go and get ready."

Most of the ship girls who set off in the morning were now starving. Although they could bear it, they would definitely eat if they could. So after staying for a while, the onlookers gradually left, leaving only a few of the leading members of the faction behind.

After gaining the upper hand, Hu De didn't say much. He simply nodded slightly to Zhou He and moved aside, allowing him to see the new member.

-

Nagato's sailing speed was not fast, and coupled with his preoccupation, he was among the last group of members to approach the dock.

As she approached the dock amidst the howling night wind, she saw Zhou He standing calmly and composedly chatting and laughing with others in the lamplight. A complex expression flashed in her eyes: she learned from Xianghe and the others that Zhou He, as a member of the Eastern Empire, had no prejudice against, nor did he target or discriminate against them, the ship girls from Sakura Empire.

She had been somewhat apprehensive, but upon seeing Zhou He, her apprehension turned into shame. After some hesitation, a resolute look appeared on her pretty face. She approached the dock, removed her ship's equipment, and looked up at Zhou He, who was looking down at her from above, as she approached step by step. Finally, she stood in front of him and, without saying a word, bowed deeply to him: "Your Highness Zhou He, thank you for giving us the opportunity to atone for our sins."
