Even in the world of Kancolle, I want to drive a robot!

"This bag costs $21, which is the cheapest luxury item I own. By the way, the clothes you are wearing now cost $13."

Seeing St. Louis's smug look, Xia Bai looked at his clothes silently, then said in confusion: "This is a waste of money. Clothes that cost 13 yuan are not very comfortable to wear. What do you want to prove by saying this?"

St. Louis suddenly held Xia Bai's head with both hands, and his fair and beautiful face was pressed in front of him, with his delicate and tempting red lips slightly opened.

"I have seven listed companies and hundreds of properties under my name. Add in the dividends from White Eagle, and my annual income can buy ten Sprague Islands with complete research facilities."

"I can support all of you Sons of Prometheus by myself. The garrison I joined went from having nothing to having many shipgirls everywhere in just one year. What do you think I want to prove?"

"..."

Although Xia Bai didn't know how huge the number of assets stated by St. Louis was, he admitted that he had underestimated him.

The magic of money has always been so simple and crude.

Chapter 130 A new ceiling appears!

Smelling the fragrance of St. Louis and looking at her moist and rosy lips, Xia Bai's eyes were a little confused, and his heart was slightly rippled.

But he soon shook his head, continued to maintain his calm state, and said lightly: "I take back what I said just now, Saint Louis, you are very powerful... So can you stay away from me, the fragrance on your body makes me feel desire in my heart."

Seeing Xia Bai admit defeat, St. Louis smiled and let go of his hand, then took back the other's right arm, feeling very proud and raising his neck high.

As expected, Xia Bai ignored her before because he was closing off his emotions, not because he was not charming enough.

"Let's go, don't you still need to collect your merits? My busy man."

Pulling Xia Bai, St. Louis led him through the long line and came to a girl with short black hair and glasses.

"This is a special channel for our shipgirl organization. Thank you for coming with me, otherwise you won't be able to get in line until tonight."

Seeing that St. Louis looked like a big capitalist who had a lot of money and privileges and could do whatever he wanted, Xia Bai simply thanked him and then came to the black-haired girl with glasses.

"Receive the merits and convert them all into red tips and gold equipment boxes... Thank you."

Looking up and glancing at Xia Bai, the black-haired girl raised her glasses, picked up the communication ring that Xia Bai had placed on the stage, and said calmly, "The red tip and the gold equipment box... The merit conversion ratio is very high."

"Just do it directly. I have linked other people's data in it. Please settle it for me together."

Sighing slightly, the black-haired girl picked up the communication ring and placed it on the scanning device, folding her hands in front of her chest and waiting for the results.

There are always some people who are ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. After winning a few battles, they come with communication rings to claim the red tips. But when the count is done, there are only a dozen or so, and their defense is broken on the spot.

Although she had not been in the Maritime Administration for long, she had met many people like this, and all of them were rookies who had just taken office as commanders. Only after serving as commanders for a few years would they know that accumulating merits and receiving red tips was not so easy.

Another new commander, I hope he won't make too much noise later, or I'll get my salary deducted for hitting someone...

Thinking this in her mind, as the scanning device prompted, the black-haired girl slowly looked at the light screen. St. Louis, who was also very curious about the number of ships Xia Bai had sunk, poked his head out.

'Username: RX-02'

"!"

The black-haired girl blinked her yellow eyes, and after making sure that she was not mistaken, she secretly glanced at the expressionless Xia Bai.

Tsk... Why is this horrible guy coming to the Takers region instead of staying in his own Sakura Empire?

Biting her fingers gently, the black-haired girl raised the corners of her mouth slightly, as if something interesting was about to be watched.

"Number of attacks: 6"

"Number of sunk: 64 destroyers, 47 light cruisers..."

"Elite sinking: Navigator 571, Gamebreaker 213, Chess Player 186..."

Slowly reading out Xia Bai's merit panel, St. Louis looked at him in disbelief: "You asked Akashi to modify this, right? Where in the world can there be so many elite Sirens? Do you have the ability to sink so many?"

After saying that, St. Louis quickly walked to the front of the stage and said to the black-haired girl embarrassedly: "It's just a joke, don't take it seriously."

In St. Louis' mind, the best way to describe Xia Bai is to use the word "extremely daring". How could he sink thousands of Elite Sirens in just 6 attacks? People from the Maritime Administration could see at a glance that there was something wrong with such data.

And he asked Akashi for cheating, why didn't he change the normal sinkings and number of sorties? He can't even cheat, he's so stupid.

Blaming Xia Bai in his heart, and in order to prevent him from being blacklisted by the Maritime Administration, St. Louis gave the black-haired girl a wry smile and immediately wanted to reach out to grab the communication ring, but was stopped by the other party.

"Didn't the Enterprise show you the humility video? Or do you just not know this information?"

After hearing what the black-haired girl said, St. Louis asked in confusion: "What news? What humility? Enterprise, she didn't mention these to us."

Shaking her head helplessly, as if she was very disappointed with White Eagle, the black-haired girl covered her face and slowly explained: "Well, it seems that you really don't know these things... Do you think you are safe and sound just by guarding Takor's little piece of land?"

"Not to mention that the Iris Church and the Sardinian Empire are isolated in the Faru Sea, it's normal that the Northern Alliance is too far away and doesn't know about it. But the Sakura Empire, the Royal Army, the Eastern Glory, and the Iron Blood know this news, and only you, the White Eagle, don't know."

"Even a 'regrettable' ship girl like me knows this, but you White Eagles are still trying to interfere in the internal affairs of mankind and not inquire about it..."

The black-haired girl patted St. Louis' shoulder with a hint of pity in her eyes.

"It's time to smooth out the relationship between you Azur Lane. It's not good to be isolated."

"..."

Hearing the other party's rather regretful tone, St. Louis stood there at a loss. What on earth had happened? We were isolated? What news did everyone know that we didn't?

These three questions filled her heart, as if when she woke up the world had changed dramatically, but she was still in the primitive society and knew nothing.

Seeing that the shocked St. Louis fell into confusion, the black-haired girl gave up the idea of ​​continuing the conversation with her, stood up from the chair, and extended her hand in a friendly manner.

"Ulrich von Hutten, I've heard a lot about you."

"RX-02, Xia Bai."

The hands separate as soon as they touch.

Lifting his ill-fitting glasses, Hu Teng raised the corner of his mouth and said lightly: "In the battle on Vanis Island, the Intelligent Siren Tester α was sunk, an unconfirmed Siren was sunk within the royal territorial waters, and the Intelligent Siren Purifier was destroyed at the border between the Mingyang area and the Sith Sea."

"You defeated the Supreme Being in the Sakura Empire's territorial waters. Your words are not just polite. Your military exploits are outstanding, but your reputation is not great. No other ship girl can accomplish your deeds. Your existence makes ship girls dim."

"Thank you for your praise. I can't do anything without Kanmusu."

Listening to Hu Teng praising himself like this, Xia Bai waved his hand, and after being modest for a moment, he asked seriously: "Did you hear these things from Ron?"

Ulrich von Hutten, this is obviously the name of a guy from Country G. If it is on a ship, then it can only be a ship from Country G. Xia Bai doesn't believe that the people from the Maritime Administration are so powerful that they can investigate him so clearly.

Chapter 131 What does the business have to do with my Saint Aunt?

"I'm sorry to disappoint you. I'm not a ship girl of Iron Blood. I just have a good relationship with Frederick the Great. She told me all this information."

Sitting back in the chair, Hu Teng shrugged, took out a box from the ship's space and handed it to Xia Bai.

"I have considered joining Iron Blood, but I am a little worried that as the hope and regret of the former G country, I will not be accepted by them... A total of 21314 red spikes and 189 gold equipment boxes. Please count them in person. We will not be responsible if you leave Taiwan."

The moment he heard the red pointed numbers, just that moment, Xia Bai considered the possibility of going back to the Purifier to swipe the Elite Siren.

After all, that guy can summon infinitely, and the elite sirens that are killed will also return to the [host], so Observer Zero will not cause trouble for himself, and then Red Pointy will split the profits with Purifier 64.

However, Xia Bai suppressed his greed as soon as it arose. It would be a bit inhuman to take the red tip of the Maritime Administration for free. Not to mention whether the other party would suspect him, if he did that a few more times, the Maritime Administration, which had stood in the world for a long time, would go bankrupt.

Xia Bai had a pretty good impression of the Maritime Administration. There weren't too many trivial things going on there. They worked diligently to liberate the world, so it was better to forget about bringing the Maritime Administration down.

Instead of counting according to Hu Teng's instructions, Xia Bai directly put away the large box in front of the table, then looked at him and said, "No need to count, I trust you."

“Trust is a deadly poison. Once you indulge in it, the end result is bleeding from all seven orifices. Carrying the heavy and thick shield of “doubt” on your back is the best means of protection.”

Hu Teng walked out from the front desk while speaking incomprehensible words, stretched himself, and showed off his tall figure.

"Let's go, I've got the stuff, I'll leave after I change into my work clothes."

After looking at St. Louis and then at Hu Teng, Xia Bai asked doubtfully, "You want to join us?"

"Hehe~ I'm the ship girl sent by the Maritime Administration to support Barton Bryan. What do you think? I originally thought it wouldn't matter if I went later, but since you're here in person, it's not appropriate for me to be lazy like this."

"Don't be too surprised. I'm not one of those guys like White Eagle who blocks information. When I saw you, Xia Bai, appear here, I already knew what the Son of Prometheus was planning."

"And I also know the details of the White Eagle's cooperation with the military..."

Having said that, Huteng glanced at St. Louis, stopped the topic, gave Xia Bai a meaningful smile, and entered the locker room.

Shortly after Huteng entered the locker room, St. Louis, who had recovered from his shock, immediately questioned Xia Bai.

"White Eagle has been isolated. Are you taking the lead in taking revenge on us under the guise of the commander of the Sakura Empire?"

"Your mental fluctuations have changed quite a bit. Regardless of whether I have isolated White Eagle or not, you shouldn't be so excited. This makes me wonder if you, White Eagle, are involved in Plan V."

Xia Bai, who was in a calm state, could sense St. Louis' mental fluctuations very delicately. With just a slight probe, he could guess what the other person was thinking, just like mind reading.

So when St. Louis heard the three words "Plan V", although her expression remained unchanged, her obvious mental fluctuations betrayed her, and Xia Bai immediately understood the role that Bai Ying played in this matter.

"You don't have to answer me. I already know the truth, and I won't do anything to White Eagle... Everyone has their own stance. Although your stance is contrary to mine, for the sake of Azur Lane, I will turn a blind eye this time."

Speaking indifferently, Xia Bai walked up to Saint Louis and raised her chin with his hand.

"The premise is that Patton's life safety is guaranteed."

This is Xia Bai's bottom line. Although Bai Ying's participation in the V Plan is disgraceful, participating in the V Plan does not mean anything.

The most he could do was to blame the other party for not lending a helping hand when the Son of Prometheus was abandoned, and for not speaking out when the Son of Prometheus was caught in public opinion.

Considering the time that the White Eagles spent clearing out the Sirens in the Takors region, they probably didn't have time to take care of these things at that time, as can be seen from Enterprise's comments under the photos he posted.

Anyone with a little sense of shame would not do this. Although Xia Bai had never met Qi Ji, he had a rough idea of ​​what kind of person she was from what other people said.

So under the rational state brought by Ming Jing Zhi Shui, Xia Bai chose to expose this matter. If he was not in a rational state now, he would definitely rush into Baiying with his brothers to teach Enterprise a lesson.

"..."

Just when St. Louis was left speechless by what Xia Bai said, a clear and steady voice came.

"Saint Louis, you'd better warn those people sent by Enterprise to New Covenant City now. Do you know how Xia Bai became the commander of the Sakura Empire?"

After changing her clothes, Hu Teng slowly walked out of the locker room, looking completely different from the literary girl wearing glasses before.

"Xia Bai became the commander of the Sakura Empire because he easily defeated all of the Sakura Empire's shipgirls, including the three generation flagships including Shinano, Mikasa, and Nagato, in an exercise."

"Don't think that Xia Bai can't do anything to you after Barton gets into trouble. She is not as good as me. I don't even have the confidence to hold out for long in the hands of 'The Divinity'."

Speaking in a relaxed tone, Hu Teng walked up to Xia Bai and put his hand on his shoulder, continuing to break down St. Louis' psychological defenses with words.

"Your information is too delayed. If this man in front of you really starts fighting, except for me, Frederick, New Jersey, and Shinano, all the ship girls in the world combined are no match for him."

"Supreme Highness. How desperate can humility make people? Anyway, I heard from Bismarck that Frederick the Great locked himself in his room for several days without speaking after watching the combat video."

"And this guy fought back the despair with his own hands, allowing the world to survive. Give up the pointless struggle, call the people back honestly, and admit your mistakes."

Anyway, Hu Teng has already said all the good and bad things. Whether St. Louis listens or not is his own business. If it weren't for the overall situation, she wouldn't bother to say so much.

"...I understand. I will pass this message to Essex and the others."

After saying this, St. Louis seemed to have put down a heavy burden in his heart and heaved a sigh of relief.

She figured it out. There was nothing to hide about these things. What would happen after she told them was a problem that the company should deal with. Anyway, she didn't have to face the military's questioning.

Besides, does the military have the guts to question the enterprise? Will Xia Bai and Barton, two dangerous men, really not cause any big trouble in New York City?

Perhaps, things are going to change in the top brass of the army in Takors.

Chapter 132 Ulrich von Hutten

The McLaren P1 is a new concept sports car with over 900 horsepower and an acceleration of 2.8-8 km/h in just seconds. It has a streamlined body, a V twin-turbocharged engine, and top-level interior.

Although it was not the most expensive one in the garage in St. Louis, it was her favorite. When she saw the car for the first time, the wealthy White Eagle woman who loved supercars immediately called to order one.

But St. Louis never expected that the easily overlooked disadvantages of the sports car would only be revealed today, making her very embarrassed.

Including Hutten who joined in the middle, there were three of them, and the McLaren P1 only had two seats...

"Have you figured out a solution? I've already told you to pay less IQ tax, but you still don't believe it."

"This is not an IQ tax! Sports cars are not for transportation, so it is normal to design them as two-seaters..."

St. Louis stomped his feet, slapped the hood and said angrily, "It's normal for two people to sit in a sports car. Why don't three people take the subway? If you can't afford it, don't be jealous."

"The better something is, the fewer people can enjoy it. This is capital. If you don't have money, don't beg me to do that. I'm not asking you to take my car."

Seeing the ugly face of St. Louis trying to maintain his status as a big capitalist, Xia Bai pointed at St. Louis with his thumb and said to Hu Teng beside him: "She is anxious."

"Yeah, the defense is broken." Nodding in agreement with Xia Bai's words, Hu Teng took out the car keys and said slowly, "Take my car. My car has quite a lot of space."

So the three of them changed from McLaren P1 to Hutten's economical and practical Ford pickup truck. Xia Bai didn't feel anything about it, but St. Louis felt very uncomfortable as soon as he got in the car.

As a famous wealthy woman from the White Eagle, St. Louis had never ridden in such a low-end car. Feeling the hardness of the seat leather, she twisted her butt and said unhappily, "Hu Teng, you are paid a lot at the Maritime Administration, right? Is it really okay to drive a car like this?"

Everyone can hear the sarcasm in these words. Isn't it just that she despises Hu Teng for being stingy. He is reluctant to buy even a better car and as a ship girl, he actually buys such a crappy car.

Hu Teng did not get angry after hearing what St. Louis said. He held the steering wheel with both hands and said calmly: "I am a ship girl, not a car girl. Except for the necessary office time, I am mostly at sea. A car for transportation is enough."

"By the way, Xia Bai, please fasten your seat belt, or you will be fined if caught by the traffic police."

"Oh."
