Transmigrated into Azur Lane

"Commander, I can't draw well."

Lin Dong watched as the company had turned the white-headed bald eagle on his ship's equipment into a picture of a chick pecking at rice.

"It's okay, let's try again."

Lin Dong led the company to try all sorts of things: cooking, painting, bonsai, flowers, movies, music... but the company wasn't very interested in any of them.

After a day of fruitless efforts, the two returned to the office. Lin Dong, deciding to unleash his ultimate weapon, pressed the company into a chair, turned on the computer, and opened a game called 'Battleship'.

The company was quickly drawn to the World War II warship-themed game, and Lin Dong first helped it come up with the ID "Star Destroyer Enterprise". Then, as usual, the company chose the White Eagle faction and obtained the starter ship, the 'Spence' destroyer. Under Lin Dong's guidance, the company began to match opponents.

A moment later, a line of large text appeared on the game screen: 'A million gay men destroyed the Star Destroyer Enterprise with their butts.'

"This...this is completely different from reality!"

The company said, somewhat annoyed.

Immediately afterwards, the opposing player, Yangyan, sent out a message in the public chat.

A million gay men using their butts: Colored pencils, and a Star Destroyer, huh? Why don't they just fly to the sky? XD

Seeing the company, which had always acted calmly, now gritting its teeth in anger, Lin Dong knew that it had succeeded.

Chapter 30 The Gift

"Burp~" Lafite let out a burp while drinking red wine with a steamed bun.

“Wow! Drunken rage!” Spence shouted, raising his hands.

"Spence, what is Drunken Frenzy?" The aloof Raffi rarely asked his little fangirl a question.

"The commander told me that, and he also said your real name is Gragas Fie," Spence excitedly explained to his idol, then cheered.

"Gulagasfi! Gulagasfi!"

“Commander.” Laffey looked at Lin Dong, waiting for an explanation.

"Gulagas is the biggest drinker in our hometown, and his drunken rampage is his specialty, but he's nowhere near as good as you."

Lin Dong, without batting an eye or blushing, lied.

"Hmm." Raffi smugly continued eating his breakfast.

"Strange, why hasn't the company arrived yet..." Lin Dong muttered to himself, referring to the company that never missed breakfast. As if on cue, the company appeared, walking into the cafeteria with slightly unsteady steps.

"Hiss... Enterprise, what's wrong with you?" Lin Dong asked in alarm.

The woman's hair was now split, and she had dark circles under her eyes; she was nowhere near as dignified as she used to be.

"You're cultivating immortality...you stayed up all night?"

"I went to bed a little late." The company smiled sheepishly.

"Take care of yourself."

……

Lin Dong soon noticed something was wrong. Apart from eating, the company spent all its time playing games in Lin Dong's office. In just one day, the company had transformed into a game addict.

"Business, dinner's ready."

"Ah, wait a little longer, let's finish this round first."

"........."

"Enterprise, it's late, aren't you going to sleep?"

"Um... Commander, you should go to sleep first. I'll wait a bit longer."

Unable to bear it any longer, Lin Dong unplugged the internet cable and dragged the company back to the room.

The company lowered its head somewhat embarrassedly, while the culprit sighed. Lin Dong hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

"Enterprises, play less, don't stay out too late at night," Lin Dong said, scratching his head.

"Ah."

"Then you should get some rest."

After Lin Dong finished speaking, he prepared to leave.

"Commander, aren't you staying?"

"what?"

"Stay and sleep with us."

The company didn't seem embarrassed at all; it was as if it were a matter of course.

"Oh," Lin Dong blinked and replied.

……

every other day

Lin Dong, who had just woken up, looked at the company lying on its side. Perhaps because of the cultivation he had done the day before, the company, which had a very regular schedule, was still fast asleep.

Looking at Enterprise's peaceful sleeping face, Lin Dong couldn't help but suspect that his own actions were the reason she felt lost and helpless within the Security Bureau. In Lin Dong's memory, Enterprise was a very opinionated and confident person, so he rarely took the initiative to spend time with or care for her in daily life. Feeling increasingly guilty, Lin Dong gently stroked Enterprise's hair, secretly resolving to spend more time with this proud and aloof young woman.

"S..."

"what?"

"Spence strikes! Destroy all enemies... Target hit! Well done!"

"........."

…………

"Yo! Major General Lin, I apologize for the intrusion, hahahaha."

Cao Zhengping was seen sitting in a military pickup truck, greeting Lin Dong.

What are you doing here?!

Before Lin Dong could even reply, Raffi called out anxiously. Lin Dong immediately realized that Raffi remembered the joke he had made earlier, so he quickly covered Raffi's mouth and said to Cao Zhengping.

"General Cao, you flatter me. The child is just being silly. Please get out of the carriage and come inside."

"Haha, it's nothing, it's nothing."

Cao Zhengping was a little confused, but considering the ship girl's eccentric personality, he didn't think too much about it.

After inviting Cao Zhengping to his office, Lin Dong personally made him a cup of tea, waiting for his next words.

"Brother Lin, the main reason for this visit is that the fishermen have come to give you gifts."

Cao Zhengping smiled and tried to get closer to him.

"Gift?"

"You wouldn't believe it, but after the coastal waters stabilized, many villagers on Xiamen Island started going out to sea to fish. Brother Lin has really done a great service!"

Seafood is a luxury in this world, and every year many risky fishermen die at the hands of the Sirens. In the past, there were many fishermen on Egret Island who would follow patrolling warships, taking whatever they could get their hands on. But Lin Dong's clearing of three outposts this time opened up more than just 20 nautical miles for the fishermen. Fishing in this world is a high-risk profession, and everyone is incredibly daring. Especially now that three outposts are stationed near the coast, the safety level has increased significantly. It's said that the most daring among them has already ventured 40 nautical miles away; after all, the bold get rich while the timid starve.

The villagers all knew this was all thanks to the newly arrived security bureau; if the Third Fleet were any good, they would have cleared the area decades ago when they were stationed there. *Ahem*, that's the fishermen's perspective.

"It's just my job, the villagers are too kind." Lin Dong smiled sheepishly.

"In addition, I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to Major General Lin. Brother Lin, you left in such a hurry at the last press conference that I didn't have a chance to say anything, haha."

Cao Zhengping took a sip of tea and continued.

"Brother Lin, you have no idea! You've really made our Third Fleet look good this time. We naval officers have it tough!"

"We are all serving Donghuang, General Cao, there's no need to belittle yourself." Lin Dong understood Cao Zhengping very well. After all, the navy in this world was really miserable, and the public's evaluation of the navy was mostly sarcastic.

"Brother Lin, I'm a rough man and not good at sweet talk. In short, if you ever need anything, just tell Brother Cao. Our Third Fleet will go through fire and water without batting an eye."

Lin Dong couldn't help but chuckle to himself as he looked at Cao Zhengping's magnanimous demeanor. He couldn't even say nice things, yet he managed to write over 50 words of flattery in Cheng Haonan's WeChat Moments without repeating himself?

"Brother Cao, there is indeed a small favor I need to ask you..."

"Brother Lin, don't be so polite. If there's anything I can help you with, just let me know," Cao Zhengping said, patting his chest.

"I want to go out to sea during the Spring Festival and spend the New Year with the ship girls at the base, but I'm afraid..."

"Hey, Brother Lin, don't overthink it. The organization doesn't have any particular intentions towards you. Go if you want, no need to tell me." Cao Zhengping patted Lin Dong on the shoulder and said, clearly already knowing Lin Dong's true identity, as he himself was tasked with monitoring Lin Dong. In recent days, Lin Dong's shrewdness had won him the favor of many high-ranking officials, and they could afford to give him basic trust.

"Thank you, Brother Cao."

As an outsider, Lin Dong had been cautious enough, but sometimes the thought that Xiamen felt like his prison still brought a bitter feeling to his heart. Cao Zhengping's words proved that his efforts over this period had finally paid off.

Chapter 31 Olek

"Commander, guess who I am?"

"Lafite"

"No, I'll give you one more chance."

Spence

"Wait a minute, this is the last chance."

"Could it be... Oh..."

"Very close!"

I can't remember.

"Think about it again."

Oreo

"Commander is so annoying!"

Lin Dong pulled the little girl on his lap and gave Ollie's head a good rub.

"Why did you suddenly think of the Commander today? Aren't you going out with your sisters?"

"Uh...they went to dig up the coral reef."

What are they doing digging up the coral reefs?
