I, Azure Commander!

Lin Xiao shook his head in confusion.

"It's Miss Hood, the lady of the royal family. Do you know what her current level of training is?"

Lin Xiao shook his head again in confusion.

"It's level 117... I haven't moved to this level for more than a year. Although it's because I'm very busy with my daily work, it's already very difficult to improve at this level. Do you understand what I mean?"

Lin Xiao lowered his head and thought for a while, then revealed a look of sudden realization: "So, a level 120 ship girl is very powerful?"

"Whoo~"

London took a deep breath and felt his blood pressure rising.

"It's not a question of whether she's powerful or not... She's really that kind of person, that kind of person who is very rare. Their ship equipment is very strong, their artillery is very powerful, their durability and mobility are also very high, very powerful... It's a pity that there are too few such ship girls, so few that the Maritime Administration has officially recorded less than ten full-level ship girls. Otherwise, the advancement of the front line would not be so difficult."

"I see... I'm a newbie, I don't really understand these things."

Lin Xiao started to act dumb.

Ten... Hmm, how many were there in his original port? I didn't count them carefully, but they were probably about the same number as the wedding ships, or even more, maybe more than twenty rows?

Well, I estimate there are only about a hundred.

Compared to those powerful shipgirls, Sheffield's combat capability is only average...

London nodded to show his understanding, and then said: "It's okay, Commander Lin Xiao, you will slowly understand it in the future. I have to say that you are really lucky. I should say that you are the luckiest commander I have ever seen. Of course, this also shows that you are good enough to be recognized by Miss Sheffield. As the director of the Maritime Bureau and as a friend of Miss Sheffield... I would like to implore you, no matter what time, do not lose your original intention, and do not be confused by the powerful power in your hands. May the blue route protect you, and I also wish your port area will become stronger and stronger in the future."

Lin Xiao now has two ship girls. According to the regulations of the Maritime Administration, as long as he passes the assessment of the Naval Academy, gets the opportunity for the first construction, builds the third ship girl, completes his studies at the Naval Academy, and successfully graduates, he can apply for his own port area.

From London's perspective, with Sheffield, who has a training level of up to 120, escorting him all the way, Commander Lin Xiao's port area will sooner or later become a famous large port area. The commander in front of him, who is still young now, may one day grow into one of the most powerful and most outstanding commanders in the entire C area.

It was naturally gratifying for her to be able to witness the rise of such a commander with her own eyes.

"Director, Mr. Fang Kang and his team are here."

Myoko's voice was heard outside the door.

"I see."

London responded, then looked at Lin Xiao and said, "This is what I wanted to tell you. I have asked someone to prepare your trainee commander certificate, and Miao Gao will take you to pick it up later. In addition, if you plan to study at the Naval Academy in the future... the dean of the nearby Barbarossa Naval Academy was my former teacher. I have written a letter of introduction for you, and you can go directly to her."

"Thank you very much, Chief."

These words were spoken with 100% sincerity. Lin Xiao stood up and bowed slightly to Director London in front of him. There was no doubt that this would bring him a lot of convenience.

"Besides, I will..."

When he was about to turn around and leave, Lin Xiao seemed to be talking to himself, or to London.

Chapter 37 Ah! Good! I’m out!

After Lin Xiao left the room, it was Fang Kang and Du Ming's turn to communicate with the director.

Fang Kang was nervous and excited, and seemed impatient to start his first construction. Lin Xiao, as Director London had said, followed Miao Gao to get his trainee commander certificate.

After getting the certificate, Lin Xiao was about to leave, but he heard Miao Gao calling him from behind.

"Commander Lin Xiao, where are you going?"

"Forehead......"

Lin Xiao turned back with some confusion, "Anything else?"

"It's not a big deal... If you have something urgent, Commander Lin Xiao, you can wait until another maritime bureau handles it. Well, just collect the trainee commander's allowance."

"I'm fine, I'm very free now!"

Lin Xiao immediately turned around. It turned out that they were going to distribute benefits. Why didn’t you say it earlier? Who can resist money?

"Well, according to the regulations of the Maritime Administration, the one-time allowance for trainee commanders is paid out according to the rarity and training level of the ship girl they found. In your case, Commander Lin Xiao... you should be able to directly apply for the highest standard of allowance, a total of one million Donghuang coins."

"Wait, how much?!"

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment. Although he had heard that the commander was treated very well, this was too outrageous, right?

Lin Xiao has almost become numb after hearing so many big numbers during this period of time.

"It's because of the special situation on your side, Commander Lin Xiao, that there are so many. Normally, there are only about 100,000 new recruits."

"That's already a lot..."

Lin Xiao said with some emotion that if one hundred thousand Donghuang coins were placed in his previous life, it would probably be equivalent to his salary for two or three years.

"In addition, the Maritime Administration will also pay a certain monthly salary based on the commander's rank. A trainee commander like you can get a monthly salary of around 10,000. Although it's not much, it can be used to buy some delicious food for Xiaotiancheng."

Lin Xiao now understood why Du Ming had told him that even if he didn't go to the Naval Academy, he could just go home with Xiao Tiancheng and live a pretty good life.

Of course, this does not take into account the expenses of Xiaotian City, otherwise ten thousand Donghuang coins are really only enough to buy some "snacks". But if it is replaced by any other ship girl, there is not much difference between her and a human girl when she does not need to attack. Ten thousand Donghuang coins are indeed enough to live a good life.

"The allowance will be directly transferred to Miss Sheffield's account. When you arrive at the Naval Academy, don't forget to apply for your own bank account with your trainee commander certificate. Compared to ordinary bank cards, there are many restrictions and it is more convenient to use."

"Okay, thank you Miss Myoko..."

----------

Finally, everything was dealt with and they returned to the office. Du Ming and his ship girl were sitting in the lounge next to them waiting for them. Fang Kang seemed to have gone to build it, and no one knew which ship girl would be his initial ship.

While waiting, Lin Xiao also chatted with Du Ming about some things about the Barbarossa Naval Academy.

After all, I will be going to school there later, so it is always good to know more about it in advance.

"You want to ask the dean... well, she's a very reliable senior, I heard she was one of the first ship girls born in this world, she fought against the Sirens and protected human civilization at the forefront, she has a lot of experience, everyone in the academy respects her, but she's actually very easy-going, you don't have to be too nervous when communicating with her."

"In addition, if there is anything special to pay attention to... it is that not only the commander, but also the ship girls need to take classes."

"Shipgirls also have to attend classes?"

This is the first time Lin Xiao has heard of it.

"That's a given, isn't it?"

Du Ming shrugged and said, "The commander is a newcomer and doesn't know anything. Aren't the shipgirls also newly born? Many destroyers can't even fire torpedoes, the shells of battleships can't hit the enemy at all, and the planes of aircraft carriers go out of control as soon as they are launched, and often smash things... These are very common. You are indeed the one who got the shipgirl. If you were to build an initial ship like us, you would definitely know these things very quickly."

"So, do the ship girls need to learn how to fight?"

"Yes, but not entirely. They also need to learn some basic common sense, including the history of fighting Sirens. In addition, if they are more mature, they can also take some elective courses on port operations, so that they can directly serve as secretary ships and help the commander reduce the pressure of work... I heard that this is also a good opportunity to improve the commander's favorability. Many ship girls with ideas are very active in this. After becoming a secretary ship, won't it be easy to get rings?"

At this point, Du Ming smiled helplessly. After all, his initial ship was the Bulldog. The Bulldog was just a child and of course he would not learn those things. As for the Wasp, it was built after he graduated.

Think about it, if he had created Hu Feng first, they would have already developed a good relationship by now, and he should be thinking about giving him a ring, right?

After you get married, you can go on board...

Du Ming secretly glanced at the plump figure of the wasp. Which commander would not want to get on board? There wouldn't be a fool who would sleep in the same bed with the wedding ship and hug the wedding ship to sleep at night but do nothing, right?

"In short, being in the Naval Academy is not only a good opportunity for commanders, but also for shipgirls to grow. There are many very powerful instructors in the Naval Academy. If you perform well in class, you may be rewarded and have the opportunity to practice with those instructors. Practice with those powerful and experienced instructors. Your training level will improve very quickly, and your combat experience will also increase very quickly. This is also one of the benefits of the Naval Academy. You must remember this."

Du Ming looked at Lin Xiao in front of him, as well as Xiao Tiancheng and Sheffield beside him, very seriously. "Although you may have a certain level of practice and have some ideas about fighting Sirens, you will definitely benefit a lot from practicing with the instructors of the Naval Academy. My big fighting dog got a chance to practice with the academy's instructor Lafei, and his practice level was directly improved by several levels!"

Lin Xiao's expression was somewhat strange, and he really didn't know how to respond.

I won't deny that I've benefited a lot from this, but the problem is that the experience bars of Xiaotiancheng and Sheffield are already full...

In the end, Sheffield remained calm and replied to Du Ming calmly, expressing his gratitude.

"Hey! Okay! I'm out!"

Then, they heard faint shouting coming from far away. The voice was very familiar, it was Fang Kang.

As the title says, because I need to support the data, I have opened a reward

Without further ado, I want everything. I will update every 50 monthly tickets, every 50 blades, every 500 recommendation tickets, and every rewards.

There is no need to count the existing data. Except for the rewards (because the treasure box was lost by me), all data will be counted from zero, which means that all the existing data is valid. The reward starts from 16.

The deadline is 23:59 on Thursday, which means it will last for four days.

I won't do anything like "pay it back after it's on the shelf". I'll pay it back now. Of course, because my personal output is limited, I can only add one or two chapters a day, including the basic two chapters, which means a total of three to four chapters, until I've paid it back.

Well, starting from tomorrow.

Chapter 38: Farewell

"Hey! Okay! I'm out!"

Even from an unknown distance away, one could hear Fang Kang's excited cheers. No one knew what had happened to him that made him so excited.

Lin Xiao didn't care, but Du Ming became nervous.

You know, among the three of them, Lin Xiao is definitely a European, he is of average level, while Fang Kang was still a newbie without a ship girl.

When I saw the damn European Emperor Leopard showing off before, he and Fang Kang could still support each other. But if Fang Kang succeeds in building a big building and gets a purple or gold skin, wouldn’t he be the only isolated African left?

Fortunately, it seemed that he was just overthinking it. Not long after, Fang Kang came over with a blonde girl.

"Let me introduce you to my original ship girl, San Juan."

"San Juan..."

Du Ming breathed a sigh of relief. If he remembered correctly, it seemed to be the younger sister of the Atlanta class, a blue-skinned light cruiser. Although it was quite lucky to build a blue-skinned light cruiser, it was still within an acceptable range.

"Not bad, very good." He immediately regained the composure and magnanimity of a predecessor and nodded to San Juan.

After that, they were briefly introduced and got to know each other, and thus the purpose of their trip was achieved.

"Speaking of which, what are your plans for the future?"

After saying goodbye to Director London and Miss Miao Gao, they packed their luggage and left the Maritime Administration while Du Ming asked.

"I plan to continue taking commissions. I've saved up a lot of money. If I take on a few more commissions, I can buy Wasp a purple carrier-based aircraft."

The implication is that he has his own things to do and plans to say goodbye.

Fang Kang showed some reluctance on his face, but then he became firm again and said, "There is still more than a month before the academy starts. I plan to take San Juan back to my hometown to live for a while, and learn more about commanders and ship girls to prepare for the start of school."

"Well, what about you?"

Du Ming was not surprised. It is better for the newly built ship girl and the trainee commander not to run around casually, otherwise if they encounter a Siren ship, something bad will happen.

He then looked at Lin Xiao. He was curious about what this European Emperor was going to do next.

Can he make money by doing commissions? With the strength of his two existing shipgirls, it seems that it is not impossible...

Du Ming recalled how Xiaotian City defeated so many Siren ships. If it was in a sea area with a lower danger level, it should be more than enough to do the commission.

However, that is just the thoughts of ordinary people. Could it be that the thoughts of the European Emperor are different from theirs?

"Me? Don't I have to go to the Naval Academy to sign up for the exam first?"

Lin Xiao, however, showed a puzzled look on his face. Wasn't it you who told me that I was going to study at the Naval Academy?

"what?"

As a result, what he saw were the confused faces of Du Ming and Fang Kang.

"But the Naval Academy has already closed the registration for the exam."

Fang Kang said hesitantly.

"...?"

Lin Xiao was confused. "Ending registration, what does that mean?"

"As the name suggests, although each academy is different, generally speaking, all naval academies conduct external enrollment examinations between March and June. Now it's mid-July, and registration has already ended."

"then what do I do?"

Lin Xiao had never heard of this before.

"What else can we do? Next year."

Du Ming shrugged helplessly and said, "This kind of thing is over, and no one can do anything about it. Unless you have connections and find a prestigious and influential ship girl to introduce you, there is still a chance that you may be accepted as an exception."

Lin Xiao remembered the letter of recommendation that Director London had given him before. Only then did he realize that Director London had already considered all of this.

"That's good..."

He then briefly talked about how Director London had helped him, which surprised Du Ming again.

It turns out that the European Emperor is the European Emperor. Even the director of the Maritime Administration looks at him with admiration.

You know, the ship girls are still very cautious about recommending commanders, especially when they are in the position of director. After all, unless you have a full understanding of the person you recommend, it would be very embarrassing if the person you recommend has character problems and fails the assessment.

But then the question arises, how can a free ship girl know a human being so well?
