Transmigrated into Azur Lane

"Excuse me, I have friends to entertain, please make way."

The suitors surrounding him quickly parted to make way, showing that even though they were pursuing each other, they still knew their limits.

After Yi Xian finished speaking, she turned back to look meaningfully at the disloyal Lin Dong. Lin Dong gave an awkward laugh and then put his arm around Nelson and led Yi Xian onto the bus parked to the side.

Before leaving, one of his suitors mustered up his courage and stopped Lin Dong. Everyone present was no ordinary person, so they naturally recognized Lin Dong long ago. He asked pitifully.

"General Lin, how can a ship girl be persuaded to accept the advances of an ordinary person?"

Seeing these suitors who were more handsome and younger than him, Lin Dong couldn't help but feel a sense of superiority. He said contemptuously.

"It's impossible for someone who isn't a qualified candidate to form a contract with a ship girl."

"The suitable candidate...the contract..."

Lin Dong was completely unaware of the immense trouble this unintentional boast would later cause him...

Chapter 157 Spence's Salary

Inside the Wang Dafu Jewelry store in the capital city of Donghuang.

"Akagi, do you see any styles you like?"

Lin Dong grabbed Akagi's shoulders, who was sulking, and forcefully pushed her in front of a glass display case full of rings. Before leaving today, Lin Dong had explained the plan to get married and hold a wedding ceremony after the trip to his wives. Akagi naturally refused to agree when she heard that the commander wanted to marry a ship girl again. She was even reluctant to choose a wedding ring for herself at the jewelry store.

When the ship girls who made the vows were built, their wedding rings did not come with them to the other world. This puzzled the ship girls who had made vows with the commander at the Maritime Bureau for a long time. Lin Dong also wanted to take this opportunity to make up for their regrets.

"It's a bit small, but never mind, you lowly commoner, please wrap it up for me."

Before Akagi could speak, Elizabeth, who was standing to the side, pointed to a ring displayed in the center of the jewelry store with its own display case and said that she didn't even need to look at the price to know that the ring was undoubtedly the most expensive in the store.

Lin Dong, who was still trying to appease Akagi, was now in a real bind. He could tell from the occasional exclamations coming from behind that the little girls were being mischievous. Seeing the shop assistant searching for keys and seemingly trying to open the display case for the ring that Sha Bai had her eye on, Lin Dong quickly begged Sha Bai.

"Stop fooling around, grandma."

"You don't want to marry me!!"

"Silly Bai!" she shouted angrily, hands on her hips, while the shop assistant silently put away the keys and rolled to the side, ready to watch the show.

"Commander~ I want this."

Elizabeth's actions startled Akagi, who quickly pointed to a ring in the glass display case and exclaimed, fearing that the Commander might have lost his mind and remarry another little girl, which would be disastrous.

"Firefly, your head is too big, this necklace won't fit."

Spence held up a jeweled necklace with both hands and put it on the firefly's head. Clumsy as she was, she didn't know how to unlock the clasp at the back of the necklace and just tried to force it on the firefly, which made the boss standing next to her feel sorry for her.

"Then let's just carry it like this."

The firefly looked at its reflection in the glass and realized that the necklace actually looked pretty good on its head.

"Um, waiter! I'd like to buy this!"

Spence, standing to the side, nodded in agreement and then pretended to call out to his boss.

"Okay!"

The boss, who had been feeling sorry for the woman, immediately responded with a beaming smile.

Lin Dong, who was still caught in the vortex of idiot and Akagi, heard Spence's loud shout and quickly turned around. He saw that the jewelry decorations on the necklace on Firefly's head were almost blinding.

"Do you have the money to buy Spence?"

Lin Dong hurriedly shouted, explaining that his own annual salary was only around ten million. Due to the previous lavish expansion of the Security Bureau, the departmental budget allocated by Donghuang had been completely squandered. Now, the Security Bureau's expenses were all supported by Lin Dong's own salary. Apart from that, everyone's daily expenses were not low. Moreover, having gained more experience, Lin Dong was no longer too concerned about money. His current focus was on resources. If he calculated carefully, Lin Dong could only say that he could live a very comfortable life, but as for extravagance... he didn't seem to have the right to do so.

"I have a salary."

Spence blinked and replied.

"You only make 50,000 yuan a month. You've been in this job for less than five months. Not counting the money I pay for your food, drink, and other necessities, can you even afford to buy this?"

Lin Dong stared wide-eyed as he helped Spence calculate the benefits. He had secured these little girls' welfare benefits for them, who only cared about their appearance and never participated in combat. The fact that they could earn 5 yuan a month was a favor that Donghuang had done for Lin Dong.

"Waitress, how much is this necklace?"

Spence turned to his boss and asked.

"Miss, the price after the discount is 288 million."

"The commander said 288 million. Is my salary enough to pay that?"

After listening, Spence shouted loudly to the commander in the distance with an innocent look on his face.

"not enough."

"And what about mine?"

"Firefly interjected."

"Even selling both of you wouldn't be enough."

"Uh...waiter, I'm sorry, I don't want to buy anything."

Upon hearing the commander say that he was going to sell her, Spence immediately backed down, and she said to her boss with a face full of apology.

After talking with the little girls, Lin Dong suddenly lost his confidence. He secretly slipped to the cashier, pulled out a bank card, and said mysteriously to the clerk.

"Please check my balance. I don't have the password."

"244 million, Mr. Lin."

After completing the inquiry, the cashier naturally spoke in a low voice.

Upon hearing the balance, Lin Dong finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had been criticized by netizens for "living off his wife" because he had started his business with the ship girls. In order to preserve his last bit of dignity, Lin Dong had never touched the ship girls' salaries, but instead kept them safe for them.

“Akagi, you should choose carefully again. This is a matter of a lifetime.”

Having regained some confidence, Lin Dong returned to his original spot and spoke to Akagi, then hugged Elizabeth to stop her from throwing a tantrum.

At this moment, Akagi forgot her earlier awkwardness and lay down in front of the glass counter, carefully selecting items. The other ship girls did the same. It seems that women are naturally powerless against luxury goods such as jewelry. Even Enterprise was walking around looking at things with great interest.

Lin Dong had just managed to coax Chi Cheng and Sha Bai into sitting down on a sofa when Yi Xian, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, suddenly stepped forward and patted Lin Dong on the shoulder, teasing him.

"You're so greedy! Aren't you satisfied with having so many wives?"

"You'll miss your chance. The Commander married Yi Xian back when he was at the Maritime Bureau."

Before Lin Dong could reply, Yuudachi, who had appeared out of nowhere, climbed onto the commander's lap and sat down before interjecting.

"Oh? Is your Maritime Safety Administration's Yixian also very powerful?"

"Much stronger than you, hmph, but still no match for me."

"I'm really looking forward to it... the powerful Yi Xian!"

Chapter 158 Wedding Dress

The group, led by Yixian, walked down the commercial street after leaving the jewelry store, while Lin Dong and Cleveland trailed behind them hand in hand.

"Cleveland, I've already bought your ring too..."

Lin Dong scratched Cleveland's palm and said, feeling a little nervous about this girl who had never urged him to get married.

"Hehe, I felt like I was about to receive it from you."

Cleveland chuckled, seemingly unconcerned that the Commander would abandon her. Everything was so natural, confident, and composed. After she finished speaking, she stopped and then hooked her arm around the Commander's neck, giving him a heavy kiss on the lips.

"From now on, please tell me anything, and I'll take good care of you."

After their lips parted, Cleveland wrapped his arms around the commander's neck and looked into his eyes as he spoke.

"Ah, even though you've taken care of me for a long time, please continue to take care of me in the future. I beg you."

Lin Dong also wrapped his arms around Cleveland's waist and said shameless things. Before the two could continue their tenderness for a moment, a voice interrupted.

"My dearest, I want to get married too."

Z46 looked up and tugged at the Commander's pants, saying that she was wearing a platinum necklace that the Commander had bought for her at a jewelry store.

"Haha, Z46 is still too small. If you want to get married, you'll probably need to be this tall."

Lin Dong laughed heartily as he spoke, then gestured with his hand to indicate Cleveland's height.

Z46 first estimated Cleveland's height by sight, then climbed onto the Commander's neck and said.

"Then we can get married, my love."

"That doesn't count, you're too young, Z46."

Lin Dong pinched her cute little face and said.

"Oh."

Z46 didn't pester him. After agreeing, she obediently climbed onto the commander's shoulders and began looking at the passersby around them.

"Commander, hurry up! We're at the wedding dress shop!!!"

The impatient Z19 stood in front, waving and urging loudly.

"Here we go!"

......

Inside the wedding dress shop.

"Commander, which style do you think is better?"

Glorious, arm in arm with the Commander, strolled among the mannequins displaying various wedding dress samples.

I prefer things to be simple.

Lin Dong, who rarely expressed his opinion on clothing, spoke up for once. This was because his bank account balance had plummeted from seven figures to six figures after leaving the jewelry store. Although none of them had chosen overly expensive wedding rings, there were still so many of them. Akagi, Kaga, Takao, Atago, Maya, Rodney, Nelson, Enterprise, Illustrious, Tirpitz, and Cleveland alone had eleven rings. Not to mention that Lin Dong had secretly bought a few more for his wives who hadn't been built yet.

Although everyone chose diamond rings that were no more than one carat, the quality was definitely good. Each ring cost around 10 yuan on average. These dozen or so diamond rings swallowed up most of Lin Dong's savings for his funeral. He would also have to buy some gifts for the other ship girls. All in all, Lin Dong's savings of more than 200 million yuan were reduced to less than a few hundred thousand yuan. Although he had no experience in getting married, Lin Dong was a little unsure about this wedding dress shop, whose decor alone was enough to make poor people hesitate.

"If only the old system of the Maritime Safety Administration were still in place..."

"Glory said with annoyance."

"Hiss... That won't do."

Lin Dong shook his head repeatedly, recalling the extremely revealing wedding dress in the game.

"The commander is so petty..."
