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

This made him doubt his previous understanding. Could it be that he could really make money after becoming a commander? Why did he press W to throw the red tip?

"Hu...Keep calm, keep calm. We can't let 03 start the third phase when we get back. We've invested so much money. If we mess up, we'll be in big trouble."

Taking a deep breath and exhaling, Xia Bai felt his pounding heart and slowly calmed down.

At this moment, a soft female voice came from behind him.

"Can I feed it separately? I want to feed it too."

Xia Bai, who had been thinking of stopping at this point, suddenly became greedy after hearing this, and immediately decided to do it again. He turned around and said flatteringly: "Except for me and 11, everyone else can be fed individually. May I ask if you want... Tsk, St. Louis."

Seeing St. Louis with a bright smile, Xia Bai smacked his lips, his expression became as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly, and he said unhappily: "Go away, stop fooling around, are you a VIP shareholder of 'Cloud Cultivation'?"

"Could it be that only those who have participated in 'Cloud Cultivation' can vote for Son of Prometheus alone?"

St. Louis sat next to Xia Bai with a smile on his face. He said, "You're still disgusted by someone investing money. I've never seen such a fund."

Xia Bai, who had a low level of education, didn't understand what the Ponzi scheme was all about, but he didn't dwell on it. He just stretched out his hand and said calmly, "Don't mention whether to invest or not. Where's my money? It's five thousand red coins."

With the initiative firmly in his grasp, St. Louis was able to hold out until he entered the Maritime Administration. Xia Bai was willing to call him the "king of big talk".

But this is the reality. No matter how much you talk, it is just talk. It is impossible for you to really fulfill the lies you tell.

"The five thousand Hong Jianjian has already been used to customize the ring." St. Louis raised his eyebrows high, smiled like a little fox stealing a chicken, and handed the document in his hand to Xia Bai.

"Here, this is the order information, this is the invoice, and this is the style requirement I chose... Do you still think I'm just joking?"

As St. Louis flipped through the documents and explained them one by one, Xia Bai's eyes became increasingly empty.

With an awkward expression, Xia Bai pointed at St. Louis and shouted angrily, "Did you really spend my five thousand red coins?"

"That was the red tip that I earned after fighting with the Siren for my life! Do you know how many battles I went through for that little bit of red tip?"

The rich lady White Eagle has no conscience. She is planning to customize rings for Taihou and the others, and she also needs money to promise Akagi's wedding. There are also Sirius and Kawaii to come, not to mention the former flagship who is becoming increasingly moody.

Obviously, these five thousand red tips could be spent on more meaningful things, but now St. Louis has spent it all just for a ring of promise.

The big capitalists are exploiting the frontline combat personnel, is there no one to do anything about it? Is there any law or justice in this world?

Xia Bai's performance was exactly what St. Louis wanted to see. The rich lady covered her mouth and chuckled. She stopped Xia Bai's shoulder and said, "Hahaha~ If you don't have it, you can still earn it. A ship girl like me is following you. Aren't you satisfied?"

"This is not a joke~ I now designate the son of Prometheus, RX-02, to be fed individually--"

Slowly raising a finger, St. Louis said with a smile, "One hundred thousand red tips."

As soon as this number came out, Xia Bai felt a little dizzy. One hundred thousand Red Points, even the entire Sakura Empire combined could not come up with this amount of money in one go.

Could this be the real strength of the rich lady Baiying? It's so terrifying.

"I believe that no one and no other ship girl organization has paid more money than me, so from now on, Xia Bai, you will be my sponsor."

The slender fingers lifted Xia Bai's chin, and St. Louis opened and closed his beautiful red lips like a dandy boy who forced a good girl into prostitution.

"Well, obey me."

Xia Bai considered himself an upright person, a person who was free from vulgar tastes, and a person who would not be blinded by money. However, under the domineering offensive of St. Louis, he suddenly began to doubt himself.

Is it really good to be honest? Would life be boring without vulgar tastes? Is it justice to regard money as dirt?

These three questions kept spinning in his mind.

After a long while, Xia Bai nodded, raised his hands and said, "I surrender. It's meaningless to be tough in front of you... But St. Louis, can you tell me why?"

"It's very simple. Xia Bai, you are very interesting. No matter the contrast or the strength, you are the best candidate for commander. Our White Eagle ship girl is not as slow as the Royal Fleet. Once we see the opportunity, we will act directly. This is the style of the White Eagle."

With a meaningful smile, St. Louis continued, "I don't hate you, I have a good impression of you, I like you, this is enough for me to take action. No matter you were indifferent yesterday or gentle today, you are special to me."

This kind of answer gave Xia Bai a sense of déjà vu, as if Shokaku and Akagi had said the same thing, and had also dissed the Royal Family.

If Xia Bai's guess was correct, then St. Louis' next words would be...

"And I'm very interested in Essex's crush, and the thought of being able to annoy the duplicity of dumplings makes me like you even more."

You guessed it right! Any ship girl who said this is a person who wants to bully her companions, just like Sakura Empire bullied him from Royal Navy, and now St. Louis also wants to bully Sakura Empire... Who is Essex?

Chapter 165 RX-16: Second Brother, You Are Scheming Against Me!

Xia Bai never got an answer from St. Louis as to who Essex was and why he was her ideal partner.

After teasing Xia Bai, St. Louis said that he wanted to observe the creation process of the Five Thousand Red Pointed Ones up close, and returned to the third floor.

Currently, everyone in Baiying is looking forward to the scene of Jiaozi and Xia Bai meeting again. She will not take the initiative to break this expectation. To be frank, the reunion of "childhood sweethearts" is meaningless.

"Just saying some weird things..."

From St. Louis's expression, Xia Bai dared to judge that she definitely knew something, something related to him.

But at this time, St. Louis was obviously just having fun and didn't want to say it, so he didn't force it and lit a cigarette with some melancholy.

if I get it I am lucky, but if not, it is fate.

Xia Bai didn't dare to say that it was worth it to exchange five thousand red spikes for a ship girl, but if the target was St. Louis, then it would be a huge profit.

This White Eagle Ship Girl doesn't have any extraordinary talents, she is simply rich. She is rich enough to spend a fortune and spend 100,000 Red Points to support herself.

Although St. Louis gave a corresponding explanation, Xia Bai still didn't understand why the other party did this. There is no love or hate in the world without reason.

St. Louis was not like Taiho who he fell in love with at first sight, nor was he the "man of destiny" like Akagi, nor was he like Shokaku who had a previous relationship with him.

As for falling in love over time, that's even more ridiculous. At most, the two had only known each other for two days, or to be more precise, probably less than 24 hours.

Why would St. Louis like me? Just because I fought with Touyou for 300 rounds while using Tsukuyomi?

Xia Bai felt that such feelings were not pure, but who cares? Even if there were no warm memories or happy times, as long as they were together, they could always create them together.

The KanColle and the Son of Prometheus are very long-lived. Unless there are any accidents, they will have a long future ahead of them.

"Kanmusu, a gift from heaven, a treasure of the sea...still as mysterious as ever."

Having decided in his heart to accept St. Louis's kindness, Xia Bai placed the cigarette butt in the ashtray and waved to the RX-16 that had just arrived at the Maritime Administration.

Yawning, Xiao 16 slowly walked to Xia Bai and sat down, asking in confusion, "Why did Second Brother rush me here so much? I just fell asleep."

There was no smell of alcohol on the other person, but a faint smell of shower gel, which made Xia Bai nod his head with relief: "You even remembered to change clothes, not bad, it seems that this is fate that allows you to have a wonderful meeting."

"You're talking nonsense... I'm going to go back and rest first, I didn't sleep all night last night."

Seeing that Xia Bai had bad intentions, RX-16 rolled his eyes and wanted to run away immediately, but was pressed on the sofa in the next second.

"Don't be in such a hurry to leave. Hehehe, it's common for the son of Prometheus to go without sleep for a few days. It won't affect his health."

Xia Bai's 'friendly' smile made RX-16 feel cold. He hugged his shoulders, shrank his body and said, "Second brother, if you have anything to say, just tell me now. Your smile is so creepy."

Putting on a serious look, Xia Bai said in a heavy and serious voice: "16 Ah, I think you should be very clear about the fact that the son of Prometheus is short of money now."

"For Hong Jianjian, 03 couldn't sleep at night and worked hard day and night. Seeing this, I, your second brother, felt extremely distressed. As the youngest brother in our RX series, don't you have any expression?"

"Indicate?" RX-16 muttered, secretly on guard in his heart, and said calmly, "Of course we know that Third Sister is worried about supplies, but didn't they say that the second phase of 'Cloud Cultivation' has already collected a large number of Red Pointed Ones?"

"I think there should be no shortage of supplies on the island of Heartsplain."

"That's right!"

Xia Bai's sudden surprise startled RX-16, making him even more flustered. He wondered if his second brother was acting up again.

Xia Bai covered his face and said bitterly: "You all think that the red tips you got from 'Cloud Cultivation' are enough, but that is not enough to cover the cost of transformation. In order to let each of you drive a unique mecha, 03 even has white hair."

"Do you know what it means for a beautiful girl to have white hair? Are you willing to let your third sister continue to work so hard?"

With both hands tightly grasping the shoulders of RX-16, Xia Bai's eyes were red and tears were flashing in the corners of his eyes.

It must be said that the acting skills learned from Yan Zhan really came in handy. The relatively immature RX-16 was immediately intimidated by Xia Bai and said in a panic: "Then what can I do... How about we rob the Maritime Administration today and let the military take the blame?"

Biting his lips tightly and suppressing the urge to nod in agreement, Xia Bai said earnestly: "It's good that you have this intention. I think 03 will also be pleased for you, but we must never do such a thing."

"But I can't let my third sister be so tired..."

Stopping RX-16 from saying anything, Xia Bai pretended to sigh a few times, then suddenly asked, "16, you're not young anymore, have you ever considered having a girlfriend like your brother 11?"

"Girlfriend? Aren't we talking about the lack of supplies now?"

Seeing some confusion in RX-16's eyes, Xia Bai stopped his shoulder and pointed at Cecilia who was staring at this place not far away, and whispered: "Don't be so impatient... Look, did you see that blonde lady? How do you feel about her?"

Hearing this, RX016 followed Xia Bai's finger and looked at Cecilia, who gave him a friendly smile in return.

"I don't feel anything... Wait, second brother, are you plotting against me!?"

Looking at his second brother with disbelief, RX-16 didn't realize until now that Xia Bai had gone through so much trouble just to set a trap for him.

"The word 'calculated' is so ugly. I can guarantee that except for the white hair, not a single word of what I said is a lie. Why did you say that you were short of supplies? It was because you were afraid that you would leave immediately."

After his plan was discovered by RX-16, Xia Bai did not feel ashamed, but said confidently: "That's your blind date, go meet her, if it works out, it will also benefit the entire Son of Prometheus."

"Of course, I won't force you. After all, feelings are feelings, and interests are interests. A relationship maintained by interests cannot last long, and I will not force you, Xiao 16, into the fire pit."

"But after all, the other party gave me a bribe, and is also prepared to invest 5,000 red tips in you alone, so for both public and private reasons, I think you can sit down and have a good talk with Cecilia."

RX-16: "..."

Chapter 166: He is still my brother after all, so I will sell him if he wants to.

"Brother, I am your brother, your real brother! Can't we be less tricky and more sincere with each other?"

With an excited look on her face, RX-16 questioned Xia Bai with tears in her eyes.

But Xia Bai, who had a heart of stone, was not moved. Instead, he said with an expression that said, "16, this is a rare opportunity. Now that the noble lady is right in front of you, don't let your third sister down."

Seeing Xia Bai move out the RX-03, Xiao 16 became even more agitated and said unconvincedly: "Since this is a good opportunity, why don't you go, second brother, and let me go on a blind date instead?"

"I would like to go, but Cecilia specifically designated you. She doesn't like anyone else except you, RX-16."

Pointing at the ceiling, Xia Bai crossed his legs and said in a chilling voice, "Do you think my second brother lives a carefree life? There's a rich woman waiting for me up there."

"Besides, what if I really went to Sakura Empire? What if Akagi and the others knew that it was you, RX-16, who told me to defect to another commander? Hehe... The water in the Mingyang region is cold, and we just need a floating corpse."

Xia Bai's words stunned RX-16. Not to mention Akagi who was far away in Mingyang, Kaga himself was in Fulk City.

Judging from the brain circuitry of the Sakura Empire's First Carrier, when the other party finds out that it was because of them that Xia Bai fell into the arms of another commander, they might really do something horrible.

Recalling the scene where he was hung up and beaten by Kaga, RX-16's body couldn't help but tremble, and a trace of determination slowly flashed in his eyes.

This is for the Son of Prometheus, this is a great opportunity given to me by my second brother...

Continuously hypnotizing himself, RX-16 gritted his teeth and replied, "Okay, then I'll go meet that Cecilia, but there will definitely not be a next time. You know me, second brother."

"Don't worry, there won't be a next time. 16 Go with peace of mind. Maybe the other person won't like you anymore after getting in close contact with you."

Patting RX-16's shoulder comfortingly, Xia Bai clasped his hands across his chest and watched him walk to sit next to Cecilia with a cunning smile on his face.

"What's the matter? You're so happy. You're laughing like a procuress who has worked for many years."

Complaining about the smile on Xia Bai's face, St. Louis, who had returned, sat directly on the sofa.

This directly hit Xia Bai's sore spot, causing him to immediately retract his smile. He waved his hand and retorted, "I just introduced a blind date to RX-16. How can I be a brothel owner?"

"Blind date..." Looking in the direction Xia Bai had just been looking at, St. Louis glanced and said unhappily, "She's quite popular. How dare you introduce that young lady to RX-16."

Hearing this, Xia Bai suddenly became nervous and asked quickly, "Is there something wrong with that young lady? Is she having a bad temper or bad character?"

Even though he received two thousand red points as a bribe from Cecilia, Xia Bai would return the money if the other party had serious problems. After all, RX-16 was his younger brother, and if something really went wrong, RX-03 would stab him to death with a knife.

Seeing that St. Louis hesitated for a long time and didn't speak, as if waiting for something, Xia Bai immediately hugged her slender waist, licked her face and said, "Good sister, tell me quickly, the child is very curious."

It can only be said that shameless people are invincible. Under Xia Bai's offensive, the rich woman nodded with satisfaction and began to tell Cecilia's information.

"Cecilia, her family is rich and powerful, she has received the best elite education since she was a child, she is well-spoken and graceful, she is a real young lady."

"Because she graduated from the Commander Academy, she understands the sufferings of the world and is not particularly condescending. Although she has a bit of a spoiled brat temper, this should be a plus point among you men."

Indeed, what's wrong with such a lady having a little bit of temper? Wouldn't it make her look more coquettish and adorable?

Xia Bai agreed greatly with St. Louis' words. This was indeed a plus point. His own Akagi's sometimes little temper would make him unable to stop.

Xia Bai stopped talking at this point and did not interrupt St. Louis. He continued to listen carefully to what he was saying about Cecilia's situation.

"It can be said that, apart from her bad luck, this young lady is indeed a very perfect human girl, but..."

Having said that, St. Louis deliberately prolonged his tone to whet Xia Bai's appetite.

Curiosity was aroused, Xia Bai hurriedly urged: "Hurry up and tell me, now I want to know what's wrong with such a perfect young lady."

His expression became a little serious, unlike the previous cheerfulness, and St. Louis slowly said: "She is not human."

"Not...human?"

"That's right, Cecilia is not human, that's why she can't build many ship girls even though she has no shortage of supplies and mind cubes."
