I, Azure Commander!

This passenger ship is not small. In addition to Du Ming's two ship girls, there are naturally other ship girls on the ship. After encouraging the junior and "by the way" achieving his purpose of showing off the boat, and receiving the envious and admiring gaze of the junior, Du Ming stood on the deck doing nothing. Out of boredom, he couldn't help but glance at those girls.

Some of them have commanders, but some are hired or freelance ship girls who come to ride on the ship. Some are working or patrolling the surrounding waters, while others are resting or gathering in twos or threes to chat casually.

As he watched, his mind gradually became active.

As a commander, who wouldn't want to salvage the ship?

The construction cost is high, and the delivery rate is extremely low. If you are unlucky, after firing ten rounds, you won't be able to find a ship girl, let alone a box. It is really unbearable. However, it is different for salvage ships.

If one could gain recognition from these free ship girls and have them recognize him as their commander, that would be like getting a ship girl for free. Not to mention that the free ship girls have basically been around for some time and have some level of training, at least much stronger than the newly built new ship girls.

Taking all these conditions into consideration, in the eyes of commanders, especially truly novice commanders, free ship girls are naturally popular. No matter who can get one, it is a huge profit.

However, salvaging a ship is not an easy task. It is even more difficult than building and shipping it. After all, most of the freedom ship girls are knowledgeable, and since they are freedom ship girls, many of them are not very willing to join the port, so the possibility of salvaging the ship is naturally very small.

Even those ship girls who are willing to join the port will be extremely cautious when facing commanders who come to chat with them.

After all, ship girls are stubborn. They recognize their commanders, and once they recognize them, they will never change. I have never heard of any ship girl recognizing two commanders, even if their commanders died in battle or died of old age. If the commander is really no longer alive, then his ship girls will only become completely free ship girls and it will be impossible for them to join other ports.

Even if their commander is a scumbag or a womanizer, they may complain but have no affection for him, but they will never betray him. Ship girls are such stubborn creatures.

Fortunately, the ship girls are not so easy to fool. Even if they look ignorant and naive, when they are looking for the commander, their minds are like mirrors and can see through all your dirty thoughts. As long as you have any improper or distorted thoughts in your mind, it is impossible to salvage the ship successfully.

Moreover, after joining the port, material things naturally don’t matter. If the commander is very poor, they will live frugally and carefully control consumption so as not to add burden to the commander. But if you are a free ship girl who has not yet joined the port, you will naturally consider these factors when choosing a port. If you are penniless, only have a destroyer by your side, and have no emotional foundation, who would be willing to go with you?

Even a player like Du Ming who has escaped Africa and entered Europe, with a battleship by his side, is still a beginner. He has no supplies, no equipment, and even money is sometimes tight. Want to salvage the ship? No way...

"Ugh......"

He knew in his heart that there was no hope for him. He had already been on the boat for many days. He had tried before and had been given countless nice guys cards. When he thought about salvaging the boat, Du Ming couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

He then looked at the junior beside him and found that he was also staring at the freedom ship girls in a daze.

"Want to salvage the boat?"

He shrugged somewhat amusedly.

"Um......"

Fang Kang scratched his head a little embarrassedly, but did not deny it. Looking at those young and beautiful girls, how could he not have any thoughts at all, even if he was just a trainee commander?

"Ah, it's not that I look down on you, brother... For a newcomer like you to salvage the boat, it's really a bit..."

Du Ming shook his head. Not to mention the newcomers, even those big guys who had their own ports rarely succeeded in salvaging the ship. The new commander didn't even have a port. Did you expect him to give up everything and follow you to live a hard life without complaint?

If you are really attracted to each other, maybe it would really work. If the ship girl really has feelings for you and thinks you can be relied on, then she won't care about these things. However, being attracted to each other is something that is mysterious in itself.

The ship girl doesn't look at her appearance or figure, and she doesn't care about her family background. It's all based on her own feelings. How can it be so good to get the right feeling for the ship girl all at once?

Therefore, seniors often say that salvaging a boat is like chasing a girl, but it is more troublesome than chasing a girl, and there is no pattern to follow at all.

It’s difficult, it’s difficult…

Just as he was feeling melancholy, he suddenly heard the sound of gunfire in the distance. He looked in the direction of the sound, but could not see anything from here. However, Du Ming was an outstanding student who graduated from the Naval Academy after all. He also had some experience after internship for a while, and he immediately understood what was happening.

"It seems that the patrolling ship girl encountered a Siren ship."

He frowned, a little worried.

The child who went on patrol was a little special, with many tails, so he had a deep impression of him. The child was small, but looked like a destroyer. I don’t know how trained he was, but would he be in any danger?

Thinking of this, he immediately said to the Wasp beside him: "Wasp, release the carrier-based aircraft and go over to take a look."

"it is good."

Wasp nodded, then skillfully released his carrier-based aircraft.

Her training level has reached nearly level 20, and she is quite proficient in some basic operations.

However, the conflict ended unusually quickly, and the sound of gunfire soon stopped. Her carrier-based aircraft flew over and saw Xiao Tiancheng carrying Lin Xiao and sailing towards them. Seeing this scene through the vision of the carrier-based aircraft, Hornet's face suddenly became a little weird.

Chapter 8 Du Ming's Thoughts

"What's wrong? What happened?"

After all, it has been built for some time. After getting along with each other slowly, Du Ming and Hu Feng have become quite familiar with each other. When Hu Feng was stunned, Du Ming immediately asked.

He frowned slightly, looking a little nervous. Did something really happen to the patrolling ship girl? The owner of this passenger ship, did he have to be so cheap when hiring guards? He sent such a young child out on patrol alone!

"Commander, calm down for a moment..."

Wasp curled his lips helplessly, "Don't worry, the battle seems to be over. The little girl is fine and is sailing towards us, but..."

"Just what?"

Du Ming felt slightly relieved when he heard what Hornet said.

"It's just that she seems to be carrying... No, is she carrying someone?"

From the perspective of the carrier-based aircraft, the scene in front of him was so abstract that the usually cheerful and eloquent Wasp didn't know how to start.

"Carrying it, alone?"

Du Ming seemed to find it difficult to imagine such a scene, but it didn't matter. Not long after, a small figure appeared on the sea, along with a "dried salted fish" carried on her shoulders.

Wow, what a big piece of salted fish!

No, no, that's a person, right?

Although it was standing straight and motionless, as the distance got closer, it was still obvious that it seemed to be a human being.

So this ship girl went out on patrol, and not only successfully sank the Siren ship she encountered, but also rescued someone by the way?

Du Ming looked a little surprised. It seemed that the training level of this little destroyer sister was not low... Although the time was short, but listening to the sound of gunfire just now, it seemed that there was more than one Siren ship. Even if this was just a sea area with a danger level of 1, the level of the Sirens was generally very low. Multiple Siren ships were not something a novice ship girl could handle alone.

Not to mention, the battle was so short...

Du Ming suddenly realized at this moment that the seemingly small ship girl in front of him did not seem simple. It was estimated that her training level was at least above level 20, maybe even higher than his Wasp.

A ship girl in her twenties is not considered a rookie...

In the near sea where the erosion level is only , the Siren mass-produced ships that occasionally appear are at most around level ten. It is relatively easy for the ship girls around level twenty to deal with these Siren ships that are less than level ten.

This also made his mind gradually become active, because the general trend still encouraged the ship girls to find their own commanders. So although the free ship girls can freely choose to live the way they want, in general, they must still live a hard life.

Unlike the ship girls in the port area who rely on their commanders and have all kinds of supplies and allowances, it would be fine if they just lived in the city, but if they also wanted to go out on the offensive and improve their training level, their lives would basically be a bit tight.

After all, attacking consumes resources, and the prices of fuel, ammunition, etc. are very expensive. Even if you accept the commission and can get a certain amount of remuneration, after taking into account the cost of living, it is difficult to save much money.

How can you become stronger if you can’t save money?

If a ship girl wants to become stronger, training level is of course one aspect, but the grade and level of the equipment she carries, the degree of enhancement of the ship's equipment, and the number of breakthroughs are also very critical factors.

All of these cost money, and they are extremely expensive. If you are a free ship girl active on the sea, you really don’t know how long it will take to accumulate enough resources to buy yourself a slightly better main gun, or slightly strengthen your ship or equipment. As for breakthroughs... that is almost unthinkable.

But if there is a commander, everything will be different...

Whether it is the consumption of attack or the materials for strengthening, those are things that the commander needs to worry about. They just need to take care of the attack, and the commander will naturally take care of all other things for them.

Moreover, with subsidies and salaries from the Maritime Administration, it is much easier for commanders to buy equipment or strengthen parts than for the Freedom Ship Girls.

Therefore, those free ship girls who are determined to attack and become stronger, especially those who are just starting out and whose levels are not very high, are like young girls who have just entered the society and have to work hard for their lives. In fact, they still want to find someone to rely on and a commander to support themselves.

It’s easier said than done to find a commander, but it’s actually a very difficult task.

There are very few people who are qualified to become commanders, only one in ten thousand, or even one in a hundred thousand. Even if you are always out on commission, sometimes you may not see one for several weeks or even a month. It is still very difficult to find a commander who suits your eyes among the already scarce group of commanders.

Therefore, it is difficult for the commander to rescue the ship. It is not easy at all for the ship girls who tend to attack and become stronger to rescue the commander.

The possibility of successfully retrieving this kind of ship girl is often relatively high.

The girl in front of him had a high level of training and was running commissions, so she was most likely this type of ship girl. Moreover, she was different from those ship girls who had rejected him before, because she liked to stay in the room when she was not on patrol and never came out. Du Ming had never had the chance to chat with her before, so naturally he had no chance to salvage the ship.

Now it seems that it is worth a try!

Maybe it will work?

Who can say for sure about the relationship between the ship girl and the commander? How can we know without trying? We can't let the ship girl talk about this matter, right?

Even if they have extremely powerful strength, Kanmusu are still girls after all...

Thinking of this, Du Ming made up his mind and even became excited, as if he was about to succeed in salvaging the boat. As for the human being carried on the shoulders of the cute child, he naturally chose to ignore him.

What? Being carried by a child whose height is not even as high as his belly button, it looks so lame.

Most likely he was the unlucky guy who went out to sea without warning and was attacked by the Sirens...

With this in mind, Du Ming watched with anticipation as Xiao Tiancheng carried Lin Xiao all the way over, until she finally reached the passenger ship. Then, he jumped onto the ship with a "hey whoosh", and put Lin Xiao, who was already extremely stiff, down, patted his clothes, raised his head, and asked in a childish voice with concern, "Master, how do you feel? Are you okay?"

"..."

Coincidentally, not far from the place where Xiaotiancheng landed, Du Ming, who had rushed over excitedly and was about to come up to talk, suddenly stopped where he was, with his hand half extended, stunned, looking quite funny.

Chapter 9: Show off your luck?

"My Lord, how are you feeling? Are you okay?"

Xiao Tiancheng raised his head and looked at Lin Xiao with concern as he stood up with his hand on his waist. His voice was soft and tender, very cute and healing.

However, to Du Ming, these words were like a bolt from the blue, and made him freeze in place.

"My Lord...?"

Such an ambiguous name cannot be used casually. I heard that some ship girls have special names for their commanders. I guess it’s something similar to this, right?

In other words, does this child already have a commander?

Du Ming sighed secretly in his heart, there was nothing that could be done. If she was still a free ship girl, then everyone would compete fairly and no one would give in to anyone else. But if she had already been rescued, then there was nothing that could be done. A ship girl would only recognize one commander in her life, and once recognized, it would never change.

Thinking of this, Du Ming could only look at Lin Xiao, who still looked dazed, with envy.

This guy, is he too lucky? Damn, he is actually a little bit more handsome than him, damn popular, European dog!

After cursing in his heart, Du Ming curled his lips and decided to go forward and say hello.

However, just as he stretched out his hand, his expression suddenly froze.

its not right......

If he remembered correctly, the child went out to sea alone before, right?

And when she got on the passenger ship, I didn't see her with anyone.

Besides, who is this guy in front of me? Where did he come from?

The passenger ship has been sailing for some time. Although I can't say that I know everyone on the ship, after all, they often come to the deck to bask in the sun and use their own wasps to show off their younger generation who is traveling with them. Basically, all the passengers on the passenger ship have such an impression of him.

But he was sure that he had never seen the guy in front of him.

After all, even if you don't want to admit it, this guy is indeed quite handsome, with a bit of gloomy vibe. If you have seen him, it is impossible not to have an impression of him.

So, he wasn't even on the ship?

Then this...

Du Ming widened his eyes. Since the other party was not a member of the ship, could it be that he was really the unlucky guy who was attacked by the Siren just now and happened to be rescued by that incredibly cute ship girl?

And then they salvaged the boat?

Just fish it out?

How long has it been, half an hour?

Was he dreaming or was he misunderstanding something? Was it really that easy to salvage a boat?

For a moment, Du Ming began to doubt his life.

Salvaging a ship is like falling in love. The thoughts of a ship girl are often far more delicate and unpredictable than those of girls. If you are not on the same wavelength, no matter how hard you try to please her, she will only politely refuse. Only if you really meet the ship girl's wishes and win her heart, will you have a chance of successfully salvaging the ship.

No matter how you think about it, this should be a long process. Sometimes it is not uncommon to take several years or even more than ten years to successfully catch a ship girl. Even if it is fast, it often takes a month. Those who can catch a ship girl within a few days are already the top white monkeys and the target of criticism from the majority of non-Africans. However, what is half an hour?

Aliens? What is your purpose on Earth?!

Although this sounds incredible and unreasonable, looking at the scene happening before my eyes and thinking about it, it seems that this is the only possibility.

Du Ming fell silent, and took a breath as he looked at Lin Xiao who was still confused.

This boy is so terrifying!

He seemed to be able to see the scene in the near future where this guy would be surrounded by several ship girls, forming a formation.

No, facing these undeveloped Europeans, he must do something!

Du Ming suddenly had a lofty sense of mission.

Right now, at this moment, he still has his own advantages - he has two ship girls, one of which is a rare battleship, while the opponent has only one destroyer. Even if this is a purple destroyer, he still has the advantage.

Be brave, Du Ming, you can do it. Take this step bravely. Maybe in the near future, you will be the one who has once looked like a European emperor!
