Revisiting Azur Lane

The corner of Bismarck's eye twitched. She didn't understand why Hood was so eager to win in such a small place. Was it because she lost to her in fencing last time, so she wanted to win back this time?

There was no response, and the two did not say anything. After Zhou He raised his hand, the three watched as the other party raised their arms in tacit understanding:

"Scissors…"

"Stone…"

"cloth!"

At the command, Hood threw a fist, Cleveland threw a paper, and Bismarck threw a scissors.

“What a pity.”

Hood said this with a smile, but didn't specify what it was a pity. Cleveland rubbed the back of his hands, and Bismarck withdrew his hand calmly.

After a brief pause, the three attacked again, but it was still the same scene, and the third time was the same.

"..."

Zhou He, the referee, was already sweating a little at this time - although Bismarck remained silent, as the momentum of the two opponents grew, she showed her strong confidence, not to be outdone. The originally planned light-hearted rock-paper-scissors game gradually turned into a real victory-or-loss showdown under Hood's operation.

"Come on, big sister!"

Montpellier was cheering for Cleveland on the side, and the people who were still waiting for the result also cast serious glances at them. Things had come to this point, and the psychological pressure would become greater as time went on. However, the three players were all full of confidence, and it was impossible to predict what would happen next.

When Bismarck raised his hand for the fourth time, he glanced at Hood out of the corner of his eye, and in a flash, the outcome was decided - Bismarck changed his moves and used "cloth", Hood still used "fist", and Cleveland also used "fist" for some reason.

"Oh, I guessed wrong."

Cleveland smiled and touched her head. She accidentally noticed Bismarck's gaze just now. She originally thought that this person wanted to feint, but she didn't expect that this person really wanted to eliminate Hood.

“It’s fun to play like this occasionally.”

Hood used her fists until the end, just as she said at the beginning.

On the contrary, the victorious Bismarck was a little surprised. In her opinion, Hood was never a guy who would go through all the trouble honestly, but she didn't expect that he would be quite honest this time.

"Ahem, anyway, the first rock-paper-scissors competition in the harbor has come to a successful conclusion, and the winner is Bismarck."

After seeing the situation clearly, Zhou He quickly made a statement, then coughed lightly: "Regarding the distribution of rewards, it can be redeemed today or tomorrow. You can discuss the specific design plan with me in detail."

"Oh, I see."

Since he won the championship, Bismarck accepted the reward smoothly. He nodded to Zhou He, Hood and Cleveland and walked away from the beach. The remaining Cleveland also went to comfort Montpellier with a smile.

Finally, Zhou He set his sights on Jarvis, who had been following Hermione and could not even reach 1.6 meters even with high heels.

Zhou He was not very good at giving a specific description. He could only say that although this girl was small, she was not small at all. The white silk under her skirt looked very good, and her somewhat cold eyes were also very good.

Well, it's a cute destroyer.

Chapter 86 Knowledge Points

"Hello, I am J-class destroyer Jarvis of the Royal Fleet."

After the messy finals activities, Jarvis, who got Zhou He's attention, lifted her skirt and greeted Zhou He very naturally and politely.

"Hello, I'm sorry it's a little late. I'm the commander of this port area. Welcome to join us. Please take care of me in the future."

Zhou He, who used to be a bit of a stranger-free person, was now able to skillfully introduce himself to the lady he had just met. Of course, this stiff conversation was not what he expected. He moved sideways and kept a distance of two body lengths from Jarvis as they approached the command building, smiling and saying, "Jarvis, are you interested in becoming a medical worker?"

"so so."

Jarvis behaved very properly, just like Hermione, but he didn't use rhetoric or words in his conversation. He was direct and plain. He didn't stop after answering: "It's just that I became a medical staff and can take care of more people in need."

"Handsome."

Zhou He's eyes widened a lot. There were many famous ship girls gathered in his own port area, but it was rare to hear lines that could move him instantly.

Although the designs of the ship girls in the following years of Manchu were not novel enough, a lot of effort was still put into the characters' personalities - although they were only reflected in a few lines of dialogue in the game, at least some framework and clues were left.

He raised his hand and snapped his fingers: "It just so happens that we don't have any medical staff in the port area, so why don't you take charge of this area temporarily, Jarvis?"

"can."

This was what Jarvis had originally planned, but she observed that most people in the port area, including Zhou He, looked very good. Compared with the medical staff, she would most likely help Hermione in the future.

Coincidentally, she also needed enough time to observe the daily life and behavioral habits of Commander Zhou He, so that she could point out any problems in his private life in a timely manner.

"It helped a lot."

Zhou He praised with a smile. Bush happened to poke his head out from the command building. After seeing this, he introduced Jarvis. Although the two were in different camps, to him, camps were not a symbol of dividing interpersonal relationships. Having a member who joined at the same time made him feel more or less at ease.

"commander!"

Yuli jumped out after Bush, trotted to Zhou He's side, stood on tiptoe and pricked up his ears: "I heard that the commander just held a rock-paper-scissors competition, and there are rewards--"

She wanted to say something else, but Zhou He covered her head with one hand. A few simple finger shakes made Yulichi so comfortable that she had nothing to say. She squinted her eyes and made a 'purring' sound like a pet.

"Hermione, take Jarvis to pick a room first. Also, this room will be Jarvis's working infirmary from now on. Let's clean it out together tomorrow."

After dealing with Yuli, Zhou He pointed with one hand to the first room on the right hand side of the entrance of the command center - including the living room, dining room, kitchen, etc. are all on the left hand side, and the current right hand side only has Akashi and the storage room for sundries.

There are still quite a lot of empty rooms on the first floor, but in the future they will probably be converted into studios for the ship girls who hold various positions, so it is not convenient to classify too many of them as dormitories.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhou He is anxious to build a residence, but he will not implement it or rush to ask his own ship girl to vacate the room. This time, building a large manor for Bismarck is just to increase the address options for the Iron Blood camp.

In a few days, he will use his accumulated home coins to exchange for a general dormitory building. At that time, he will first arrange a security residence for himself. When new members join, he will live there for a few days. When more ship girls move in there, he will return to the third floor here to rest.

"Understood. Please come this way."

Hermione glanced at the room without a door number, stretched out her hand and smiled as she led Jarvis to the second floor. There were 24 rooms on the second floor in total. Excluding Akashi who lived on the first floor and the new member Bush, there were still three empty rooms on the second floor.

Zhou He took the opportunity to bring Yudachi to sit down next to the chair, took back his hand, looked up and smiled: "Yudachi didn't participate in the rock-paper-scissors competition. As compensation, you can compete with me. It's a best-of-three game. If Yudachi wins, I can fulfill one of your wishes today."

"real!?"

Yudachi's originally somewhat relaxed attitude instantly became focused and sharp. He pricked up his ears and tail, took two steps back, covered his right hand with his left hand, turned sideways, and faced Zhou He with a bright and naive smile: "Then I must win!"

"I am extremely lucky to have met Yudachi and everyone. It might be hard for me to lose."

Zhou He smiled, said something a little tough, raised his right hand and counted the lines of 'Scissors, Rock, Paper' with Yudachi, waved his hand down, opened his hand and used 'Paper', while Yudachi on the opposite side used 'Scissors'.

"Won!"

Yudachi cheered with his fists clenched in joy, smiling broadly, which made Zhou He not feel the slightest bit of regret for his defeat. He just raised his hand and said, "Second time, eh?"

This time Zhou He guessed that Yudachi would continue to use scissors, so he threw a fist, and Yudachi also threw a fist. After the two were tied, they looked at each other and raised their hands again: "Rock, Paper, Scissors!"

Zhou He continued to use his fists, while Yuuichi changed his moves and used cloth.

In three games, Yudachi won two and tied one, which was a complete victory. It made Zhou He on the opposite side scratch his head. He thought his luck would be very good. Could it be that all his luck was used up in traveling here and meeting everyone, so he made up for it in other aspects?

Willing to accept defeat, Zhou He smiled and said to Xili, "Tell me what Xili's wish is."

"Yes!"

Yuudachi said in a loud voice, clapped his hands in front of him, tiptoed to steal a few glances at Zhou He, and pointed a finger at him: "I want to sleep with the commander today!"

"!"

"!?"

Zhou He was slightly startled, but even more shocked were the other people who came in from outside and the back door. Harman, who had just come back from a bath with Z23 and U56 and was still steaming from his body and wearing loose clothes, approached at supersonic speed, hugged Yuli, took a few steps back, and stared at Zhou He with a wary and shocked look.

"Commander, I didn't expect you..."

At the door closer to them stood Bush and Nagashima, both with shocked looks on their faces. It was Nagashima who spoke. She approached step by step, her eyes fixed on Zhou He, and smirked, "Could it be that there is something interesting in your room, Commander?"

"…My room is the same as yours. If you have to say what's interesting about it, it's just that the view is better than yours."

Zhou He was upright and had nothing to fear, and he answered calmly. He was completely different from the man who had just traveled through time and had his brain overloaded when Zuikaku touched his face. He cared for Yuudachi more like a sister or a pet, and even if this feeling would deteriorate, it would not be now.

After all, he still has his dignity to maintain. With Yuli's personality, any action he takes will surely spread throughout the port area as soon as he wakes up. Having been bombarded with various games before traveling through time, he knows very well how important reputation is in the early stages of starting a business, and it is an important capital for recruiting people.

Of course, the main reason was that he didn't have the courage to touch a woman he had known for less than a month.

Otherwise, when Hermione broke into the bathhouse and wanted to give him a scrub, he should have completed a super evolution-like transformation.

"That's it?"

Nagashima retreated tactically, not quite believing it: "Commander, you are the controller of the port area, so you have some different modern tools, right? Cell phones, game consoles, etc."

"No, and even if there is, it's useless. This place is surrounded by sirens. Do you think there is a network or something covering this place?"

Zhou He shrugged. As for mobile phones, he thought they had been integrated into the system and the only game they had was Azur Lane.

"Ugh!!"

His words shot through Chang Dao's inner defenses like a bullet. She knelt down in the middle of the hall with an ORZ. The floor tiles reflected her gloomy face and eyes: "How is it possible that I forgot such an important thing!"

“…What weird things are you talking about!”

Harman thought that Changdao was here to put pressure on Zhou He, but he didn't expect that Zhou He would be defeated with just a few words. He could only ignore Changdao who was sick and stared at Zhou He: "Commander, what do you think of what Yuli said just now?"

"Ah."

Zhou He touched his chin: "Yuli should want to hear me tell stories or sing to her to sleep. It was almost the same when we first came to this port area."

Then he asked Harman curiously, "Apart from these, is there anything else we can do?"

"what?"

Harman blinked, looked at Zhou He, then looked at Yudachi who didn't refute and was also looking at her curiously. She was stunned for a few seconds before her cheeks turned red with a bang. She let go of Yudachi and retorted with a little jump: "That's not what I said, ah! Commander, you idiot!"

Having said that, she quickly went upstairs and left behind a voice like "Hamanman doesn't think about those things--"

"Hahaha, that's so cute."

Zhou He has discovered that Harmanman really has a textbook panel of low attack and low defense. It does not require any complicated operation. He only needs to look at the angry Harmanman with a smile and take advantage of her verbal loopholes to make a stab at her, and he can put Harmanman into multiple states of anger and shyness.

"So the commander can be this bad sometimes."

U556 jumped to the stairwell and looked up. She could no longer hear Harman's footsteps. She looked at Zhou He with great interest. It was really new.

"Only occasionally."

Zhou He did not refute. After all, he did have bad thoughts. He often said he would do things, but in fact he was lazy. These were his true colors and there was no need to hide them.

However, Harman's reaction just now made him a little concerned: Could it be that in addition to combat memory and appropriate life skills, the ship girls have also been popularized with various knowledge points? This is not good news.

You have to know that there are several yanderes in Azur Lane. There are also quite a few free-for-alls who are less dangerous than yanderes but more difficult to deal with. When those ship girls gather together, there is no guarantee that they will not do something to him.

Just thinking about it is scary.

"Hey~ Did the Commander and Yudachi live together at the beginning?"

Bush was more concerned about the information content of this speech than the speeches of U556 and others. She walked around the gray-white Nagashima and sat on the chair, acting like a cute baby who was listening attentively. Zhou He just smiled and waved his hand: "No, at that time, because of a misunderstanding, Yudachi wanted to follow me all the time to protect me, so we slept on the floor together for two days."

Just two days passed, and then Zuikaku and Hermione arrived. Yudachi was sent to the second floor and gradually got used to sleeping alone.

"Commander, you are really playing word games. Please stop bullying Miss Harman."

Bush was not satisfied with the simple explanation. Z23, who was tidying up his clothes and had not combed his hair yet, came over and said in a serious voice, "And you said something cute. If Miss Harman hears this, she will be very angry."

"Well, I'll try my best next time."

Zhou He didn't mean to bully Harman. It was mainly because Yuli's speech just now was indeed a bit strange. If he didn't change the subject quickly, who knows what kind of things might come out of the conversation. After briefly exposing this topic, he chatted with a few people at the scene for a while, and then prepared to let Yuli go and invite Harman down. If he guessed correctly, Harman had only eaten breakfast today, and he must be hungry.

But he soon realized that he had underestimated Harman. She followed Hermione and Jarvis down again. Although her expression was a little tense when she saw Zhou He, she had no problem facing other people and Yudachi. She even helped Hermione and Jarvis carry daily necessities and bedding. When she mingled with the two of them, no one could guess that Harman was actually the ship girl of White Eagle.

Cleaning the room is not an easy task. Z23 and U556, who were also very hungry, left first after waiting for a while. Bush was quite interested in what was going on between Zhou He and Yudachi, but it was a pity that Zhou He deliberately interrupted the conversation. After Z23 and the others left, he picked up the storybook that Count Spee had read yesterday and opened it. He accidentally turned to page 48 because there was a handful of green weeds that had turned yellow and almost gray in it.

"A bookmark?"

Zhou He knew what was going on and did not touch the traces left by Count Spee. He read carefully and thought about what story he should tell General Yudachi that night - even if Yudachi was a great general who could fall asleep as soon as he lay down, he still had to understand it a little bit. After all, this time he was trying to coax Yudachi to sleep, and next time he might be able to coax other destroyers from the Sakura Empire or other camps to rest.

As time passed, the sky outside was quickly shrouded in darkness. Under the light, everything was as lively as in the daytime. From time to time, members who had finished their meals and baths came to the hall to sit down and discuss and joke. Zhou He sat among the girls and listened to their conversations. The content covered a wide range, including past history, current battle sirens, future battle directions, etc. Many of them were related to the port area. These were recorded by Zhou He in his notebook, which might be useful in the future.

Chapter 87 Play

The night was as dark as water. The port area that was very popular during the day became quiet, leaving only shadows cast by lights in the houses and the crisp sound of "bang bang bang" coming from the industrial area of ​​the dock.

On the third floor of the headquarters, Zhou He returned to his room, washed up, and sat on the bed to receive two magic cubes and 23 home coins for completing two tasks today (daily attacks and daily home coins). His food reserves became 8 magic cubes and home coins.

"Is this going to turn into a Tun Tun Rat?"

After checking these two key resources, Zhou He looked through the other messy materials in the warehouse. He squinted his eyes but couldn't think of a suitable way to use them.
