The Disqualified Commander of the Abandoned Shipgirl

"No need for the anti-torpedo bulkhead. It's useless on land."

Lin Shen looked at the toy-like thing in the person in charge's hand and waved his hand to refuse.

“It’s good to have it!”

"Hey, you guys at Deep Blue Assembly are rich and powerful, why do you care about such a small matter?"

“Is this a matter of deep pockets!?”

He just wanted to minimize the losses as much as possible.

Anyway, relatively speaking, he took it out just because it was of no use.

But Lin Shen obviously wouldn't accept it.

"I want electric hoists and hydraulic steering gear. I want a few improved boilers, too. A few more sets, thank you."

"Why do you need so much equipment?"

"For replacement on the battlefield."

"Replacements are all about changing the main guns and secondary guns, who has time to change equipment?!"

"Just in case, understand? When it comes to fighting, you should trust my professionalism."

"Bullshit professionalism! Do you know more about equipment than me?"

"I don't care, just get them out for me. Three sets of each. Write them all down. Oh, and three sets each of navy camouflage, chain loader, gyroscope, and maintenance."

"You only have seven shipgirls and fourteen equipment slots!"

"I know. Didn't I say spares? Each person should have two spare sets."

"you--"

Seeing his reserves being wasted, the man's expression suddenly frowned.

If all these were to fail in the end, he would probably be so heartbroken that he wouldn't be able to eat for the whole day.

There are seven ship girls, each with two equipment slots, three sets each.

That adds up to forty-two pieces of equipment.

And that’s just the equipment.

If you count the other three equipment slots, there are sixty-three sets in total.

The cost of these equipments cannot be described as huge.

Assuming that the average price of an equipment piece is 5,000 Singapore dollars, all in all, the expenditure is more than 500,000.

How many ship girls’ troops can be properly armed?

Those clones don't have much spare equipment to use.

All are disposable.

If you die, you die.

At most, it will be recycled and remade.

It can be considered as recovering some of the costs.

Like Lin Shen, every ship girl is a non-renewable resource.

The cost of attack is three or four times that of an ordinary team.

Of course, the combat capability may be much higher than three or four times.

As long as the money is spent in the right place.

Then it’s not a waste.

After severely squeezing the Deep Blue Assembly, Lin Shen's fleet was finally armed with a full set of equipment.

It is hard to say how much the combat capability has been improved.

However, all possible preparations have been made.

After leaving the Deep Blue Assembly with the seven ship girls, Lin Shen went to the Golden Holy Wings again.

Again by drawing down his credit, he got hold of several bottles of emergency repair fluid.

I also saw Lydia who came out for some fresh air.

"If you don't do this job well, you'll basically have no chance of success in the future."

"It's just catching a siren. It's not a big deal. If it weren't for the reputation of the Golden Holy Wings, I would go and complete the Nogami family's mission right now."

"Yes, yes, your strength is reassuring, but..."

Lydia waved.

"what happened?"

Lin Shen stood a little closer.

"Free news for you. The Ooi family is making some moves and may be preparing to go to the wilderness."

"They're going to the wilderness? What are they going to do in the wilderness? The place where the incident happened is in a safe zone. Instead of working hard to maintain their image, are they going to go to the wilderness to roam?"

After making a casual complaint, Lin Shen asked another key question.

“Do you know the scale?”

“This——”

"Damn, you wouldn't just send a bowl of porridge without a dish, right?"

"No, I just thought that you should be able to easily understand the scale of their deployment, so there is no need to mention it."

"I'm leaving now. If everything goes well, I'll be back tonight. If not, I may have to wait until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to come back."

Lin Shen stretched out his finger and gestured.

"It's hard to say what will happen in the meantime, but even if all the Dog Flame Guards are dispatched, they can't go deep into the wilderness to arrest me."

"I'm not worried about your safety, but..."

Lydia paused, then mentioned it briefly.

"It seems like something else is interfering."

"Something else?"

"It seems that the Ooi family has come into contact with certain people."

"Who are those certain people? Don't be a riddle man."

"do not know."

"…are you really not knowing or are you pretending not to know?"

"really do not know."

Lydia spread her hands.

"I just want to remind you that those people may be dangerous. Their intervention may change the situation. Please be careful."

"..."

Lin Shen always felt as if he had heard a similar reminder somewhere.

It also reminds him to be careful of certain people whose identities he has no idea.

Mysterious.

But of course he wouldn't be careless.

Although these are just some groundless news.

But... he is not a careless person.

"I know, I will be careful."

Lin Shen replied, and then said something jokingly.

"It's fine as long as they are still human beings, not ghosts. It's still very difficult for the Ooi family to come up with some kind of comeback. Even if they really do comeback, it will be difficult to continue if they don't have enough strength."

In the final analysis, it all comes down to how hard your fist is.

Unless the other party can directly get the source——

The Nogami family was strangled.

That way, we can completely turn the situation around.

But the unlucky one was also the Nogami family.

What does it have to do with Lin Shen?

He can still be free and easy in the wilderness.

With someone in hand, you won't be nervous.

"That's the theory."

Lydia nodded and said.

"But you know, there are always some things that are not subject to theory."

"Well... if there is any news, please inform me in time. Golden Holy Wing doesn't want to fail in this mission, right?"

"I really don't want to. Or rather, it's because I don't want to that I came here in person to inform you."

I noticed a hint of uneasiness between Lydia's eyebrows.

Lin Shen put away his joking expression.

"It seems that the Golden Holy Wings are also afraid of it? Don't worry, as long as you raise the price, I will support it even if the sky falls. Please trust my professionalism in this regard."

Lin Shen stretched out his fingers and rubbed them together, and spoke seriously, just as he had promised Lydia for the first time.

"As long as the money is in place, I will kill any ghost for you to see. Three or five hundred thousand is still too little. As long as the price can be raised to one million, the employer has the final say on where to put the target's head."

"..."

Lydia was silent for a while as she looked at Lin Shen's serious expression.

"You don't really intend to be a mercenary until you die, do you?"

"It doesn't really matter whether you're a mercenary or not. Money is the most important thing. As long as you have money, you can kill people or burn things, and you can also be a mercenary or a bodyguard."

Lin Shen emphasized that word.

I just hope that when there is a similar big order, Golden Holy Wing will not forget about this useful mercenary.

Money is the source of the world.

Without this thing, everything loses its meaning.

"Okay, I'm leaving now. I probably won't be back for two or three days. Please keep an eye on the situation in the Central Weaving District for me. If necessary, I can come back immediately. The Deep Blue Assembly mission doesn't have that high a priority."

Lydia tasted something else from Lin Shen's words.

"Aren't you going to go directly to carry out the Deep Blue Assembly's mission?"

"It's a rare opportunity to go deep into the wilderness. It would be a waste to just do their mission. I also have other things to do along the way."

"what's up?"

"Level up."

The wilderness is a great place.

Lin Shen planned to improve the overall quality of the fleet there.

Develop as soon as possible.

It just so happens that the Deep Blue Assembly’s restoration room is available for free use.

There is no need to worry about logistics for the time being.

77. Copy

It's called leveling.
