KanColle does not allow me to work from nine to five

Zhenhai saw Liu Cheng react and blinked. Her eyelashes were very long, like butterfly wings, and her beautiful lips were slightly raised. It was obviously a smile of success, but it did not make people feel disgusted.

"The reaction is faster than I expected. He is indeed an outstanding talent of Donghuang."

Liu Cheng was not polite and went straight to the point: "No need to test, what do you want to know?"

"It's not a test." Zhenhai put his legs together, put his hands on the hem of his skirt, looked at Liu Cheng and said seriously, "Some things can't be done without willingness and motivation. I have seen your ability and your subjective willingness, so I have something to ask of you."

As she spoke, the mature Zhenhai looked around like a young girl. Liu Cheng couldn't say that he was the center of attention, but at least half of the ship girls in the restaurant were either paying attention to him or looking at him out of the corner of their eyes. To receive such attention was a reflection of his ability and charm.

Zhenhai suddenly changed the subject: "Which of the Four Great Classics do you like best?"

"Ah? Romance of the Three Kingdoms?" Liu Cheng was unable to follow Zhenhai's train of thought for a moment.

"I like Journey to the West. The strategies of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms are classic but a bit outdated. Although Dream of the Red Chamber has a lot of connotations, I don't like it." Zhenhai stood up from the sofa, stretched out his slender hand to Liu Cheng and shook hands with him three times. "I still think Journey to the West is better. It is not only a travelogue of spirits and monsters, but also can inspire enlightenment and cultivate the mind. Even if it is a conspiracy theory, I can imagine a lot of it."

Liu Cheng said: "Conspiracy theories are conspiracy theories after all. It is too low-level to talk about conspiracy in front of Xiu Xin."

Zhenhai pursed his lips and smiled: "Good insights, it seems that I will have a chance to talk to you about Journey to the West again in the future."

"Of course there is a chance."

Seeing Zhenhai leave, Bora sat in the seat where Zhenhai had just sat. She patted Liu Cheng on the shoulder and asked, "What were you talking about just now?"

Liu Cheng was still thinking about Zhenhai's intentions. It was not easy to say this matter involving Donghuang, so he casually replied: "We talked about food..."

Bora blinked and said, "We are really talking about food."

"I've already told you that I'm Donghuangtong, how could it be false?"

Marco Polo put his arm around Liu Cheng's shoulders and hugged him passionately, not minding the soft and plump breasts rubbing against his arm: "Really, Liu Cheng, I like you more and more."

Liu Cheng, who could understand the riddle man Zhenhai a little, was unable to understand Marco Polo for a moment. What was going on?

But it's really soft.

Chapter 87 What is a Surprise

Liu Cheng still went to the Royal Navy to reply

They toasted, but they were just acquaintances who nodded and got to know each other. After all, Liu Cheng was not really some kind of mental cube male succubus that could make a ship girl fall in love with him at first sight. Even if the royal ship girls were interested in this human who could understand their words, the reserved royal ladies would not show it too obviously at the beginning.

The children left the hall soon, not because they had to go to bed early and get up early, but because Sardinia did not restrict children from drinking alcoholic beverages. The little girls were not adults who could drink a thousand cups of alcohol. After a few sips of cocktails, they felt dizzy and their little faces were as cute as apples. They ran around in the hall, sometimes falling flat on the ground, and sometimes fighting drunkenly. It was because the ship girl was in good health, otherwise she would have been injured long ago, so she was taken away to rest early by the two mature and gentle sisters, Trento and Trieste.

Veneto was very enthusiastic and Littorio was even more excited, so Liu Cheng didn't really stay out until he was drunk. He went over to Veneto and the others, toasted them a glass of wine, said goodbye, and left the restaurant.

At the door, he was stopped by Marco Polo. The Sardinian battleship had red cheeks due to alcohol. He patted Liu Cheng's shoulder enthusiastically, and said something while breathing out the alcohol, "You are the human being I favor the most and who understands me the most. You are a talent that can be cultivated." "I want to dominate the world with you. You rule humans and I rule ship girls. Isn't it beautiful?" "Sardinia Port Area, my world. Iris Iron Blood, take them all. Royal Northern Alliance, no problem. Donghuang White Eagle, step on it under your feet." He talked over and over for a long time, almost sticking to Liu Cheng. It was because of the close distance that he discovered that Marco Polo not only had a beautiful teardrop mole, but her pink tongue tip was also slightly forked, which was very magical.

Finally getting rid of Marco Polo, Zara said as she walked away: "Marco Polo is still a very powerful battleship, but she always has some unrealistic ideas. Anyway, you have to figure it out for yourself and don't believe everything."

Liu Chengshen nodded in agreement, but compared to the Riddler, Marco Polo was cuter and also very big.

In the night, the sea breeze blew the leaves, making a rustling sound, completely taking away the heat of the day. From a high place, you can see the rippling waves not far away reflecting the light of the moon. Away from the bustling restaurant, it suddenly became quiet.

Liu Cheng looked around curiously, then asked the two sisters Zara and Bora, "Do you live here too?"

Paula said warily, "What are you going to do?"

"Nothing, just asking."

Zara pointed upwards and said, "There is a small castle next to the Roman Baths. That's our dormitory."

"That means you don't live here, right?" Liu Cheng looked at the courtyard where the guests lived on the left, then looked at the sisters Chunlan Qiuju and Zara, blinked and said, "We were unfamiliar with the hotel before, and everyone felt a little uncomfortable. Now that we are home and you have sent me here, why don't we just..."

"Think beautifully!"

Bora tapped Liu Cheng on the head, then hugged her sister Zara's arm and said, "We sent you here and told you not to have any thoughts about the royal family."

"Zara?"

"Have a good rest tonight. I think you are very tired." Zara smiled apologetically and reminded, "You are representing Sardinia and Donghuang now. You can't do anything rude to the royal guests."

"That's hard to say..."

Liu Cheng stopped mumbling because Zara and Bora smiled at each other, then stood on tiptoe and gave Liu Cheng a light kiss on both sides of his face. The sea breeze blew away the slightly wet marks, leaving behind a thrilling throbbing.

"I understand. I will stay calm and keep my chastity."

Bora snorted lightly: "Hmph, I'll decide whether to reward or punish you based on your performance."

Zara said gently: "Have a good rest, see you tomorrow."

"Well, you guys should have a good rest too."

Liu Cheng waved goodbye to the two sisters, feeling a little apologetic because he said that on purpose.

He turned around and went back to the guest courtyard alone. At this time, there were already several rooms on the first floor with lights on. He didn't know which ship girl lived there.

Actually, what Zara said was quite right. Liu Cheng was really tired. After two weeks of being a nobody, he went on a three-day tiring journey. So after Liu Cheng returned to his room on the third floor, he lay down on the bed, looked at the ceiling and rested for a while before taking out his mobile phone.

Liu Cheng was very busy during this period and had almost no time to check his phone. There were all kinds of chat messages and text messages about overdue payments, but none of them were important. Liu Cheng opened the group chat interface of "Loving Family" and found that most of the messages were from Ron and Tirpitz, leaving Bal almost nowhere to show up.

Tirpitz mainly changed the previous invitations for the two of them to play together to the group. Ron's messages were much more complicated. Sometimes it was a landscape photo, sometimes a selfie, and more often it was photos of her cooking. It can be seen that she killed a fish the day before yesterday, a rabbit yesterday, and a pig today... The meaning is obvious. The pigs have been killed, so it's time to kill people next time, right?

Liu Cheng: @Tirpitz, my overtime is over. I am now living in the port area of ​​Sardinia and can start playing games tomorrow.

Liu Cheng: @Ron, it looks delicious. I would like to try it if I have the chance.

Liu Cheng: @Jean Bart, how is your recovery going?

Jean Bart: It's no problem for me to knock you away with one punch.

Liu Cheng: You can only knock me away. It seems that you haven’t recovered yet.

Jean Bart: I mean fly to White Eagle.

Liu Cheng: ...Congratulations on your recovery, congratulations

.

Ron: I know you're joking, Jean Bart, but don't hit me.

Ron: @Liu Cheng, I saw all those interviews and programs you participated in. You must be very tired. I really want to be by your side and cook for you to heal your heart (love expression).

I have to say, when Ron is normal, his straightforward gentleness can really heal people's hearts.

Liu Cheng: It’s cured.

Liu Cheng: When I saw the message you sent me, all my tiredness disappeared. I don’t even dare to imagine what effect meeting you will have.

Ron: Why not? Anything is possible~?

Jean Bart: Hypocrisy.

Ron: You're jealous.

Liu Cheng chatted with the two for a while and found it strange that Ron and Jean Bart reacted so quickly, but Tirpitz, who was almost always online before, was silent.

But soon, Tirpitz also sent a message.

Tirpitz: Sorry, something happened and I can't play tomorrow.

Tirpitz: But I have a surprise for you @刘承.

Ryu Seung: What a surprise.

Tirpitz: You will know when the time comes.

Liu Cheng couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the surprise was Tirpitz airborne? But he changed his mind and thought, even if Littorio was so ambitious, the relationship between Sardinia and Iron Blood was not to say that they were completely broken off, but at least they were insincere. How could they let Iron Blood's ship girl come over in such a short time?

Although it was later proved that even though Liu Cheng had been in Sardinia for a year and a half, he still didn't know Sardinia well enough.

After chatting for a while, Liu Cheng said that he needed to take a break. He said goodbye and closed the chat interface.

However, Liu Cheng did not really sleep. Instead, he lay in bed and paid attention to the time from time to time.

Liu Cheng didn't drink too much at the banquet, but the alcohol was taking effect and he still felt dizzy and hot. Going to the bathroom to wash his face didn't help. So, unable to sleep for the time being, Liu Cheng decided to go outside to feel the sea breeze and sober up.

The door opened and the people standing by the railing turned back at the same time.

"Ms. Hood?"

"Mr. Liu Cheng?"

Chapter 88 Bismarck, I'll Fuck Your Ancestors

"I just wanted to find a quiet place to enjoy the sea breeze. I didn't know you lived here. I'm sorry if I disturbed you."

Hood bent slightly, a strand of slightly curly golden hair draped over her chest. She was tall, and the slim long skirt wrapped around her slender body. The corset further highlighted her slender waist and full breasts. At this moment, her face had a faint blush from drinking, and there was a sense of distance in her words. Her slight smile was elegant yet a little melancholy.

Liu Cheng waved his hand and said, "It's okay, don't bother me. I just felt a little groggy after drinking so I came out to enjoy the sea breeze to sober up."

"I'm glad I didn't disturb you."

As he spoke, Hood made way for her and said no more. He just stared at the vague waves in the distance under the moonlight, letting the sea breeze blow her untied golden hair into disarray.

Liu Cheng was also half-lying on the railing. Under the blowing of the sea breeze, the drunkenness gradually dissipated and his mind became clear. He felt the same sense of brokenness and nothingness in Hood as in Jean Bart who was injured before. It seems that what Littorio said was true, and the same was true of Tirpitz's words. In the confrontation between the Royal and Iron Blood in the Strait of Gibraltar, both Hood and Bismarck suffered irreversible damage.

The words that Liu Cheng almost said just now, but he couldn't say them when he was sober.

The cruelest thing in the world is to give others hope and then destroy that hope with your own hands. Liu Cheng has not yet fully confirmed his ability to repair the Mind Cube. Anyway, the Royal Navy's ship girl will have to stay in Sardinia for at least half a month. With the help of Sardinia's scientific research equipment, he will first figure out how he resonates with the Mind Cube. It will not be too late to tell Hood then.

What's more, saying something like "If you give me a kiss, I might be able to cure you" to a lady you just met seems more like a hooligan no matter how you look at it.

The two of them were separated by a distance of three people, with no communication, no collision, and at most their eyes would inadvertently glance at each other from time to time, but would move away before their eyes met.

Hood thought it was a good feeling. Being in an unfamiliar place, with a special but unfamiliar man, they felt the tranquility and vastness of the ocean together after a simple communication. There was no need for any spiritual collision. After various turns, they became strangers who had only met once. There was a kind of Dostoevsky-like fantasy and absurd beauty.

However, Liu Cheng was not intoxicated by this distant but not awkward atmosphere. If he didn't know about Hood and Bismarck, if he hadn't saved Jean Bart before, perhaps he would be in the same mood as Hood now, but now that he knew, his thoughts were completely different.

"Ms. Hood, I don't really understand what you said when you toasted me tonight."

Hearing Liu Cheng's sudden voice, Hu De tilted her head, but did not have any other reaction, nor did she turn her head to the side. The slight movement just indicated that she heard the words.

Liu Cheng continued, "Of course, justice will triumph over evil, but there is no precise definition of good and evil. It can change as one's position changes. As a human being, or a ship girl, I think there is only one thing that is evil, and that is the Siren. All other forces that oppose the Siren are just."

"Well, you have a point."

Hood nodded and responded indifferently, obviously not intending to waste any more time on this matter.

The originally elegant royal lady, in the absence of her caring friends, did not hide her

Cover up your melancholy and coldness.

So Liu Cheng had to get straight to the point: "So I think Iron Blood is not evil. Even if its current behavior is misguided, it will definitely get back on track in the future. Even Bismarck..."

"Don't preach in front of me!"

The appearance of that person's name made Hood's slender hands holding the railing involuntarily tighten. She turned her head, her blue eyes flashing with anger: "Mr. Liu Cheng, don't think you can be complacent just because you can communicate with the ship girl. You are so arrogant and say such ridiculous remarks. In fact, you know nothing!"

The two looked at each other face to face for the first time tonight. Liu Cheng did not look away, and Hood raised her head proudly. She was the glory of the Royal Navy, and it was impossible for her to bow her head in front of a human being.

After staring at each other for a while, Liu Chengcai slowly spoke: "Actually, I know that during the confrontation in the Strait of Gibraltar half a year ago, Bismarck fired a demonstration shot, but I didn't expect..."

"say no more!"

Hood tightly grasped the handrail of the railing, his delicate face a little dazed by the stress, "It's fate, right? It's luck, right? No one expected that Bismarck could seriously injure me with one shot, so I should blame fate, right?"

Hood's delicate body was trembling, perhaps because she had been suppressing herself for too long, perhaps because she no longer had to maintain the elegance of a lady in front of strangers, or perhaps because the most secret scars buried deep in her heart were suddenly revealed in front of others. Hood, who believed in not talking about deep friendships with people she had just met, herself did not realize that in front of the stranger Liu Cheng, her defenses were not as strong as she had imagined.

"I know victory and defeat are common in the military, and there is always sunshine after the storm. I am the pride of the Royal Navy and I must remain elegant at all times."

"I also know that it is useless to resent anything now. What I should do is to move on from my current emotions, embrace the future, and never give up."

"I know, of course I know."

"So you're here to persuade me to be magnanimous, too? Since resentment is useless, let it go and forgive her. Haha, forgiving her is forgiving myself, right?"

Hood's voice was not a hysterical roar, but rather like a suppressed volcano. Even now, she was still controlling her own reason.

"No, that's not what I wanted to say."

Liu Cheng looked directly into Hu De's stunned eyes and said, "Why should we forgive the perpetrator? No matter how many excuses you find, the perpetrator is still the perpetrator. If you do something wrong unintentionally, you should be forgiven. Then what are the police and the law for?"

"What I want to say is that it's useless for you to just sit there in a daze and say some meaningless words. If you want to vent, you should be more direct."

No one had ever said anything like this to her, and Hood was confused for a moment. She tilted her head cutely and said, "What, do you mean?"

"It means that if you want to vent, you should do this..."

Liu Cheng muttered to himself, I'm sorry, my future sister-in-law, after all, it was your own fault, and I believe you don't mind paying it back through the actions of your future brother-in-law.

After taking a deep breath, Liu Cheng turned towards the sea and spoke at the highest volume:

"Bismarck!!"

"I'll fuck your ancestors!!!"
