The Disqualified Commander of the Abandoned Shipgirl

"…My hands and feet are stiff."

Jiang Feng shook her head numbly, shook her ears after shaking the water off. She raised her hand and checked to make sure the crack on her wrist had disappeared. Not only her, but everyone else had been sitting in the repair pool that could accommodate ten people for a whole day without moving. She was the first to come out, and her condition had recovered, but it seemed that she had not fully recovered.

Now, every time I take a step or twist my wrist, it feels very unnatural and I can hear a creaking sound in my joints.

Like the sound of machinery and gears turning.

Rusty and creaking.

After stretching his body hard to fully loosen his stiff joints, Jiang Feng grabbed his tail and squeezed out some of the water on it.

Then he prepared to leave the restoration room.

But before leaving, she looked back and saw that the others were still sitting quietly in the restoration pool with their eyes closed, as if they were asleep. This restoration room was built underground, and was illuminated only by a faint pale light, making the entire space look very depressing.

Like a tomb.

So Jiang Feng hates being underground, she likes places with a wider view.

Walking to another area, Jiang Feng wiped the water stains on her body, changed into clean and simple daily clothes, and then came to the ground floor living room of this rest area.

Lin Shen was still sorting out the information and drinking the tea he made himself.

After hearing the footsteps, Lin Shen looked back, a little surprised, and said as if it was a matter of course: "You were the first one to fix it."

"Well... I'm injured less than them." Jiang Feng nodded.

"Your strength has indeed been improving." Lin Shen turned his head back and said casually: "It is reasonable that your progress is much faster than theirs. People who improve quickly run faster and can go further."

“Actually, there isn’t much difference…”

"No, the difference is obvious." Lin Shen shook his head and said as if sighing, "This is an objective fact. We can't pretend it doesn't exist."

If possible, Lin Shen certainly hopes that everyone can make such obvious progress as Jiang Feng. In that case, the injury will be a little lighter, and the recovery time will be a little shorter. Even if it is only a little bit, it is still a piece of cake.

Unfortunately this is simply not possible.

36. Here’s the chance for you

The person who stayed in the restoration pool the longest spent nearly 30 hours. When he came out, his hands and feet were not just stiff, but also felt like they were rusted. It took him a minute or two to recover.

This person is McCall.

When she came out, there was no one in the repair pool.

The next two days, no, three days, are still used for rest.

This time the break was extended by one day.

As for the update of combat missions, Lin Shen has also placed them in the soul network.

Mission updated, the time for the sixth combat operation has been determined.

The goal has also been determined.

The Siren still has nearly 14 elite troops stationed near the A1 stronghold.

Lin Shen planned to pull out part of it.

It could be 20,000, it could be 30,000, or even more.

Then, as before, annihilate them at a slightly further distance.

The current distance is already quite dangerous.

Moreover, the enemy's strength has also increased by a level. Even if they are defeated, the price will not be too low. The serious injuries of everyone are expected, and the goal is to break through the shackles of level 80.

Finally, it is a real battle to recapture the stronghold.

Are you feeling relaxed?

not at all.

To pass so many enemies, go deep into the defensive fortress, face an unknown number of enemies inside, and Siren elite executors of unknown strength, the danger level is extremely, extremely, extremely high - so much so that Lin Shen directly marked the task bar in a striking red color.

Each action will only become more dangerous than the last.

There will definitely be no easy moments.

What McCall knew—

Their training level is already very high.

More than 99% of the replicas.

Then, the enemies that need to be faced and the battle situation will exceed 99% of the clones.

There is a saying in old movies and TV shows: the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

But this sentence is actually very strange.

It's even completely opposite to reality.

The greater the ability, the smaller the responsibility is the norm.

Avoiding risks is something that every capable person will do subconsciously.

This is normal.

Even in the original memory, there are the most basic rules - when a lion fights a rabbit, it must use all its strength. If possible, it is best to fight the rabbit every time.

Never put yourself in danger.

The closer things are to the limit of your ability, the more you should avoid them. This is the correct way to survive.

But every battle Lin Shen fights challenges this way of survival.

He did not hide the danger, but put it there so clearly that anyone could see it.

The risks are clear at a glance.

What they did was not safe from the beginning, nor was it for "survival".

If it was just to survive, with Lin Shen's abilities, there were many ways to do it.

But his actions were not just for the sake of living.

He went there even though he knew there was a tiger there.

"Does Commander really have to do this?"

"Yes."

"It's obviously not good for us at all."

"So there are only ten of us. Maybe, after a while, there will be fewer."

"What should I do then?"

"Let's talk about what happened then."

"I mean, what should I do when there is no one left?"

"Then let the Commander think about it slowly."

"……Too."

I don't know why I suddenly remembered the chat with Glasgow.

Every time McCall thought about Lin Shen, a lot of distracting thoughts would pop up in his mind.

After she changed her clothes, she couldn't help but look at her hands again and moved her fingers slightly.

In good condition.

The repair fluid is really amazing.

Even if all ten fingers were blown off, they could be repaired just like regenerating severed limbs.

Repair the complete existence of "KanColle" and fill in all the missing parts.

In order to achieve the effect of "healing".

After doing it many times, McCall could feel that wonderful feeling.

——It’s very inconsistent.

The ship girl's understanding of herself comes from her original memory.

But that thing is also limited.

If you want to get more effective information, you have to dig deeper.

But not everyone can do this.

Anyway, McCall himself couldn't do it.

In the experience of repeated repair and damage, the only thing she could clearly feel was the increasingly obvious loss of her mental state.

Like a blurry patch.

It was obviously more "fuzzy", but it did feel more "powerful" to her.

She was damaged, but she also became stronger, and even gradually touched an indescribable boundary limit more clearly.

The more you know, the more ignorant you feel.

The stronger the ship girl's ability, the more she can feel the limits of her own abilities.

This feeling is not pleasant and can even be frightening.

McCall felt a bit similarly.

but……

After seeing Ayanami and the others, she no longer felt that fear.

It's ok.

Their limits are above their own, so it doesn't matter if there is no higher limit.

Everyone does their own thing during the break.

But most of them just stayed near Lin Shen with nothing to do, watching him work and chatting on the soul network.

The same thing happened with McCall.

She walked to the ground level and saw the expected scene.

A bunch of people gathered here, and all kinds of chats were constantly floating in the soul network.

Lin Shen is conducting the final test on Nagato.

He held the book, testing whether Nagato had memorized all the knowledge.

The test method is to randomly select and then ask questions.

Fortunately, Nagato did reply to them one by one.

Not a single mistake.

After all, she is a ship girl, and having a photographic memory... is just a basic ability.

As long as you try hard to remember, you will always be able to remember what you want to remember.

And it is far less painful than humans.

"Correct - the next question is still psychological."

As Lin Shen spoke, he opened the book again and randomly selected content to ask questions.

As expected, Nagato answered fluently.

This ability of KanColle is really suitable for liberal arts.

After all, liberal arts is just about reciting over and over again... or understanding a sentence as having n different meanings, anyway, that's all. However, if you are a more rational KanColle, maybe you can send her to school for further study, and then put her in a scientific research institution for further study.

Given the lifespan of a ship girl, this might produce unexpected results.

It’s a pity that no one would do this now, and there are no such conditions.

Lin Shen asked nearly fifty questions in a row.

Nagato answered all of them correctly.

Afterwards, Lin Shen asked some questions about actual combat, and Nagato answered them all fluently and calmly. The high-intensity combat during this period has greatly improved her psychological endurance, so she has made sufficient preparations.
