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

Seeing that his third sister was really angry and even put on a gentle mask, Xia Bai stopped making trouble and said quickly: "We went to Vanis Island to rescue the Sakura Empire, and then we met a wise Siren and got into a tough battle..."

"Is it Templars?!" RX-03 exclaimed in surprise. After hearing this name, everyone present fell silent. The mental fluctuations of hatred and anger filled the surroundings.

That is a pain they will never forget. The same is true for those who were awakened after RX-01's death. The first portrait to dim on the life sensing device is worth remembering.

"No, it's a guy who calls himself Tester Alpha. He's probably a little worse than Tempalans."

"Only slightly worse than Tempalans. Then, how did you defeat him and bring back the Sakura Empire shipgirls?"

"No, Third Sister, can't you just listen to me? I was just about to say something." Xia Bai didn't know what to say because he was constantly interrupted by RX-03. His train of thought was messed up.

But then she remembered that it was the name Tianpalansi, which had not appeared for a long time, that brought her a certain amount of pressure, making her unable to remain calm, so she didn't take it too seriously and continued talking.

"After a tough battle, Sirius and I were defeated by Tester α and fell to the bottom of the sea. At the last moment of our lives, Sirius and I somehow came to a strange space."

"This is probably why the life sensing system thinks I'm dead."

"..."

"After defeating Tester α, we returned home..."

After finally finishing his words, Xia Bai smacked his lips and pointed at the water cup towards RX-16, who understood what he meant and walked over to fill it up.

After happily drinking a glass of water, Xia Bai looked at the faces of the sons of Prometheus and said calmly, "That's it. Any other questions?"

Chapter 30 The Role of Textbooks

This is a big problem. The connection with the ship girl changed the appearance of RX-02 and gained powerful combat power. From Xia Bai's words, the battle with tester α seemed like he easily crushed the opponent.

After pinching her chin and thinking for a while, RX-03 got the answer. She said with expectation: "That change should be your ability, second brother. After connecting with the ship girl, you can strengthen the mecha. You are worthy of being the strongest among us."

"Ability... Isn't this something that only ship girls have? Why do I feel like you, Third Sister, seem to know a lot about it?"

Facing Xia Bai's questioning, RX-03 sneered and said with disdain in his eyes: "Who told you that 'ability' is only possessed by ship girls? We, the Sons of Prometheus, are no worse than them. We just didn't have the supplies to exchange for teaching materials before."

"Textbook? What is that? How come I don't know about it?" After hearing something unfamiliar, Xia Bai followed the principle of asking if he didn't understand.

"Textbooks are like books, with three colors: red, blue, and yellow. After reading, the ship girls will learn or improve their abilities. I remember I mailed some to you on the third day after leaving the Royal Family..."

"Wait, second brother, you didn't see it, did you?" Looking at Xia Bai's dazed look, RX-03 held her forehead helplessly. Sooner or later, she would be pissed off to death by her second brother.

Knowing what he had done, Xia Bai put his hands on his legs and rubbed them awkwardly, as if this could ease his embarrassment.

He paid no attention to the textbooks, but instead read some poetry collections, but mostly spent his time surfing the Internet or harassing Sirius, which was why he was able to take him down.

However, Xia Bai is not planning to share the matter of Sirius with the Sons of Prometheus. He will only tell them about it after the matter in Sheffield is over, regardless of whether it succeeds or not.

Thinking of this, Xia Bai began to explain: "I did read some of the teaching materials that my third sister mailed to me, otherwise how could the RX-02 change? I just didn't read much and didn't remember it..."

His voice became smaller and smaller due to lack of confidence.

"Stop trying to quibble. You look like you're trying to deceive people."

"This is true." Seeing that RX-03 didn't quite believe him, Xia Bai felt a little aggrieved.

"That's enough. You're still panting when I say you're fat. Do you think our IQ isn't good enough?"

Seeing that he had not fooled RX-03, Xia Bai began to wonder whether he should seek more advice from Yan Zhan about some acting techniques. Then he became serious like a Sichuan opera face-changing artist, and knocked on the armrest with his hand while sitting on the chair.

"Royal sister, what do you think of my abilities? Can you share it with my dear ministers?"

RX-03 has long been accustomed to Xia Bai's nonsense. He only behaves like this when facing his younger brothers and sisters. He doesn't act like an older brother at all.

Then he bit his fingers and thought for a while, then put his hands on his barren chest and said confidently: "Brother, I roughly understand your ability, but I still need to verify it."

"Go find Sheffield and try to link with him. If 'The Divinity' appears again, it will prove that by linking with different shipgirls, your mecha will also change differently."

"I want to see how powerful a form that dares to call itself a 'god' is."

After hearing RX-03's confident answer, Xia Bai scratched his head and agreed, then asked curiously, "Putting my ability aside for now, what are your abilities... They shouldn't be useless, right?"

Look at what he said, he even blurted out the word "waste". RX-03 was really impressed by this brother who had no emotional intelligence. He rolled his eyes at him and said, "Everyone has different abilities and different uses. The most widely used ones are CX-21, RX-04 and Xiao 16."

"And my ability is to increase the combat power of the Son of Prometheus who attacks with me by nearly two levels." After speaking lightly, RX-03 stroked his long black hair, looking as if his ability was insignificant.

But Xia Bai believed that the other party must be in Versailles. Increasing his combat power by two levels would be too powerful, almost the same as Elizabeth.

Thinking of this, Xia Bai suddenly realized something, just like Elizabeth? God also realized that RX-03 was the true leader of the Sons of Prometheus, so he gave her this ability, and he couldn't even be the superficial leader...

Seeing that Xia Bai was a little distraught, RX-03 was secretly delighted in her heart. She had known for a long time that her second brother was obsessed with the position of leader, and then she continued to attack him.

"What I have done is nothing. Do you know how powerful Future is?" Without waiting for Xia Bai to answer, RX-03 continued, "Future can increase our combat effectiveness by half within five minutes, and within five minutes our long-range firepower will be effective against heavy sirens."

Its own abilities plus those of the future are the reason why RX-03 dares to test Solomon's defense line. For a highly mobile unit like the Son of Prometheus, five minutes is not a short time, as it can wipe out all the rockets, light beams, and self-propelled artillery on its body.

I heard that Akashi from the Sakura Empire is very good at black technology transformation. RX-03 is also planning to go to the other party to see if they can provide them with more weapons, such as missiles, jet weapons, and handy melee weapons... There are so many things she wants.

At this time, Xia Bai was looking at the future with a look of surprise, while the girl with the blue mushroom head lowered her head shyly and said in a soft voice: "Well... my ability is just like what Senior 03 said, but I am not very familiar with it yet."

"It's okay...it's okay, you are worthy of being the future." Xia Bai was overjoyed and didn't know what to say. He had given her this name in the beginning, hoping that she could represent the future of the son of Prometheus. He didn't expect that she would really carry this ability.

Now their last shortcoming is gone, and everything is moving in a good direction.

"Haha, let's go to Queen Elizabeth's banquet first. They must be waiting anxiously. We won't stop until we are drunk tonight!" After saying that, Xia Bai stood up and pushed open the door.

"Second brother, don't you usually not drink? You didn't drink even when I asked you to attend the celebration party..." The speaker was RX-04. He vaguely remembered that Xia Bai seemed to be allergic to alcohol.

But Xia Bai, who was happy at the moment, didn't care about all that. He gestured to the others and headed towards the royal banquet hall in a mighty manner.

Chapter 31: Be careful with online dating

During the banquet.

The hall, which should have been sparsely populated, became more lively due to the arrival of the Sakura Empire and the Son of Prometheus. Although the field was divided into three camps and each camp gathered together, this scene still made Elizabeth very happy.

She had been feeling lonely since the royal men's attack. The usually bustling royal family had become deserted, and there were no more tea parties, so Elizabeth asked Befa to prepare this banquet.

In Elizabeth's imagination, everyone should wear a dress, elegantly hold up a glass of wine, and go around to get closer to each other, and finally dance a ballroom dance with each other.

But in reality, the Sakura Empire's small ship girls gathered together to fight for the cakes, and a Royal Ark sneaked in with an expression of enjoyment, which was really embarrassing. Shokaku and Zuikaku sat in the round chairs bored and didn't know what they were thinking.

The son of Prometheus also ate the food in front of him silently, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch it from him.

Elizabeth opened her mouth slightly to reveal her fangs. While eating, she asked the head maid behind her: "Well... Belfa, how do you think we can make this banquet more lively?"

Wiping the residue from the corner of Elizabeth's mouth with a white handkerchief, Belfast bent down and answered softly: "The scene is rather quiet because everyone is not very familiar with each other. As long as we get familiar with each other, it will be fine... If the Queen doesn't know what to do, you can let Belfast do it."

Puffing up her cheeks, Elizabeth nodded and let Belfast do it herself. She shared her worries and came up with a solution in time, and she was worthy of being her most considerate head maid.

With a formal smile on his face, Belfast first went to find Javelin, who was looking aggrieved in the corner of the banquet hall, and asked her to blend in with the Sakura Empire's small ship girls. Then he went to find RX-03 and said something to her.

Afterwards, RX-03 took RX-06 and picked up the wine glasses to find Shokaku and Zuikaku. The isolated situation was interrupted and it was only a matter of time before things became lively again.

Seeing their leader and the discipline committee member go find Shokaku, the remaining sons of Prometheus burst into passion, cheered, and began boasting and drinking, their serious demeanor completely disappearing.

Grabbing the RX-11 and CX-21, Xia Bai laughed and skillfully took out a cigarette and gave one to each of them, then took out a lighter to light them.

His third and sixth sisters put too much pressure on Xia Bai. They were afraid that he would do something to lose face as the son of Prometheus, so they kept warning Xia Bai not to cause trouble.

But what could Xia Bai do? He could only succumb to their tyranny and dare not resist. Now that they were gone, he could just play with them as he pleased.

When life is good, you should enjoy it to the fullest; as for a party, just do as you like without worrying too much.

Three men sat on round chairs, smoking and chatting about random things.

"RX-11, you have a pretty solid body, have you been working out recently?"

"No way, no way. I am still far behind my second brother."

"Hey, senior, you may not know that Brother 11 recently found a girlfriend online, and that's why he's working out."

After hearing CX-21’s revelation of its past, RX-11 scratched its lion’s mane-like afro sheepishly, and a faint blush appeared on its ferocious face.

Seeing this, Xia Bai sat up straight with some curiosity. He really didn't expect that Old Eleven, who looked so fierce and was a fighting maniac, would be liked by girls. He said they met him online, so he shouldn't be cheated.

"Hurry up, tell me what happened in detail." Not only women like gossip, men also like to stir up trouble about such things.

"That ring can be used to access the Internet... One day after training, I had nothing to do, so I tried it to see what my second brother posted every day. I don't know how I ended up browsing the civilian forum and got to know him... Hehe."

At this point RX-11 kept silent and just kept grinning foolishly.

What about the next part? Why did it stop? Xia Bai was listening attentively when he suddenly realized that RX-11 stopped talking. He turned around and looked at CX-21 anxiously: "Do you know what's next?"

I was really attracted by the look of my eleventh brother, but things on the Internet are not very trustworthy. Not every object is Miss Baihe. The story of being defrauded of 8000 yuan in an online relationship is still circulating.

"Of course I know. I went with him to the offline meeting... In fact, 11-ge's success is related to his predecessors."

"What does it have to do with me? I've been in the Royal Palace all day long and never gone out."

"She is from Port William. Didn't you fight off the Sirens of Port William at that time? And your battle in Port William was filmed and posted online."

"So after meeting him and finding out that Brother 11 was the son of Prometheus, she didn't have any objections at all, but rather admired him."

After hearing what CX-21 said, Xia Bai gradually put aside his worries. As long as he was not cheated, he agreed to the marriage and continued to ask CX-21 about the other party's conditions. Although it was good enough that someone wanted RX-11 with his looks, he still had to ask the questions.

"Her name seems to be Selina. Her parents are teachers. They just moved from the inland to Port William two years ago. She looks pretty good. She is in junior high school, but she looks very small."

Since his parents didn't work in the government, Xia Bai could rest assured that this wasn't some conspiracy. He let out a long breath and was about to say something when suddenly Yuan noticed him and shouted in surprise, "Junior high school? How old is Selina?"

"14 or 15... middle school students are probably around this age." Hearing this, Xia Bai turned around and stared at the RX-11 who was still grinning foolishly.

You've broken the law, you know that.jpg

RX-11 is a genius who could do such a thing at such a young age. Xia Bai was deeply distressed about this. He thought that he had not taught his younger brother well. He was already a grown-up, but he still fell in love with a junior high school student.

Wait, RX-11 doesn’t seem to be very old. Xia Bai vaguely remembered that the other party woke up not long after he woke up, which means he is only about half a year old.

So it remains to be seen who is the older one getting the younger one when RX-11 and Selena are together.

"Oh." Sighing, Xia Bai patted RX-11's shoulder, left his seat, picked up his wine glass and went to talk to other people. He didn't want to get involved in what happened between the two of them, so let them deal with it themselves.

It's simply outrageous. Since coming to this world, Xia Bai's three views have been constantly broken.

The golden liquid in the wine glass kept shaking. Xia Bai was thinking about who he should talk to next. There would be plenty of time to talk to Sirius later. Sheffield was beside Elizabeth, so he couldn't disturb him...

After looking around for a while, he saw two mechanical rabbit ears, and his eyes lit up.

It's you, New Jersey.

Chapter 32 New Jersey: What is the combat effectiveness ceiling? (Back)

Going to chat with New Jersey is a very good choice. After hearing RX-03 say that the other party fought against a thousand enemies alone in the Royal Defense Battle and sank an intelligent Siren head-on, Xia Bai felt a little itchy for such combat power.

Now that I have some time, I can go over and get closer to him and casually mention the matter of the Tempalans expedition team.

At this time, Miss Rabbit was eating and drinking happily by herself. There were no other ship girls around her who stood out from the crowd, but she was not embarrassed at all and continued to do her own thing.

For New Jersey, food intake is strength. Only when they are full will they have the energy to continue fighting. The royal food is so delicious, it would be a pity to waste it.

Just as Xia Bai quietly approached and sat next to her, the mechanical ears on the other person's head shook. New Jersey, who was eating, suddenly stood up and turned back.

A terrifying aura emanated from her body, making it hard for Xia Bai to breathe. The heavy pressure caused the seats to crack continuously, and the tableware wailed and then broke one by one under the weight. The entire royal banquet hall seemed to be shaking.

Such a commotion made everyone at the banquet stop talking and look at New Jersey with serious faces.

There was silence in the hall for a moment. New Jersey seemed to realize something. With an embarrassed expression on his face, he bowed and apologized to the ship girls present.

"Sorry, sorry, I was wrong...haha."

Her harmless expression made people wonder whether she was the one who exuded such a terrifying aura just now.

Zuikaku, who was chatting happily with RX-03 and RX-06, put down the wine glass in his hand stiffly, and asked Shokaku with cold sweat: "Sister...was that New Jersey just now?"

Nodding solemnly, Shokaku replied with lingering fear, "Well, she's the New Jersey who travels around the world, calling herself the 'strongest'."

"Zuihe, listen to me, don't provoke her... Her aura alone can cause such damage. You are definitely not her opponent. Remember, don't look for New Jersey for exercises." Shokaku said with a worried look on his face.

She knew Zuikaku too well. She was very strong and warlike. She often went to White Eagle to exercise with Enterprise, and she didn't feel ashamed of losing every time. Enterprise knew that they were fellow partners in Azur Lane, so he showed mercy to her to give her some face. But New Jersey was different.

This guy is too strong, it's like she's in a different dimension from the other ship girls. Zuikaku is too weak for New Jersey. If the two of them were to conduct an exercise, Shokaku was afraid that New Jersey would sink Zuikaku without being careful.

"Of course I won't do such a stupid thing... After fighting with Tester Alpha, I realized that I am still far from being a strong person."

Shokaku, who was a little scared, touched his sister's hair, then turned his head and said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

"It's okay. Everyone will do the same when faced with an extraordinary existence like New Jersey... Let's continue talking about the Solomon Sea." With a gentle smile, RX-03 continued to negotiate with Shokaku.

......

"I'm sorry, I made a mistake just now." New Jersey clasped his hands together and sincerely apologized to Xia Bai who was frightened.

The corners of his mouth twitched, and Xia Bai found that as someone who had experienced the pressure of New Jersey up close, his back was already wet with sweat, his hands and feet were a little numb, and it took him a while to catch his breath.

After drinking a glass of water to calm his nerves, Xia Bai asked New Jersey for details: "Why did New Jersey suddenly act like this just now? I thought you were going to attack me."

"Well..." New Jersey sat down, picked up a roasted lamb leg and stuffed it into his mouth, stammering, "Because Xia Bai, your approach made me feel a little dangerous, and my body did this instinctively."

New Jersey, who is as strong as a monster, also felt the danger. It was brought to her by me. Did I overestimate myself? Or could she sense the existence of 'Fate Sirius'?
