Revisiting Azur Lane

If ten Rubik's Cubes are saved, the research and development project of the scientific research ship can be started. However, in the world where he lives, there has not yet been a ship girl who can crush other ship girls and enemies of the same type. Using ten Rubik's Cubes to exchange for a ship that is stronger than or even equal to the others will definitely be a huge loss in the early stage, so this usage plan is directly passed.

“…Take your time.”

Shrinking the system interface, Zhou He leaned back with his hands on the back of his head and fell directly on the bed, looking at the ceiling that he was already very familiar with. Now he can obtain 23 home coins every day. After two days, excluding the home coins for replenishing food, he can exchange them for a less fancy dormitory building. Then he can consider building a large-scale project to increase combat power and clean up the mass-produced Sirens outside.

bang bang dong!

While he was lost in thought, there were dense footsteps and knocks on the door. He didn't even need to say a word to welcome them. The door was already opened. Yudachi, wearing short-sleeved shirt, shorts and pajamas, appeared in Zhou He's sight with a white patterned pillow under his arm, with a cheerful expression on his face: "Commander, I'm here!"

"You're in high spirits. Aren't you going to bed?"

Zhou He turned sideways and used his palm to push up his slightly wet bangs, and joked with a smile: "Are you the only one here?"

"Yes!"

Yuli was very familiar with Zhou He's room. After all, she had slept at the door for two days. She walked into the room, closed the door, raised her finger and said seriously: "Harman, there are many people from Javelin who want to come with me. I rejected them all. I also told them that if they want to sleep and rest with the commander, they have to rely on their own efforts and don't think about taking shortcuts like this."

"..."

Zhou He probably knew why the others followed him without saying anything but pretending to be honest. In Yuli's eyes, he was probably a very remarkable guy, and the situation had reached a late stage. Harman and the others realized this and understood that Yuli and they were on the same front. If they came over, they would definitely be bullied.

Forget it, it was a good thing that the others didn't follow him, so as to avoid the situation where anyone could enter his room at will. So he sat up, patted the bed and said with a smile: "Then let's go to bed early. We have to get up early tomorrow as well, so as not to be scolded by Hamanman who is waiting for us."

"understood!"

Yuli was very obedient. She took two or three steps and sat next to Zhou He. She put the pillow on her knees, raised her head and stared at Zhou He with sparkling eyes. Zhou He felt a little uncomfortable when she looked at him, and felt that the atmosphere was a little strange. He knew that he couldn't go on like this. He smiled and reached out to touch Yuli's hair. He took off his shoes and climbed onto the bed, spread his hands and faced Yuli directly: "Only today, Yuli can act like a spoiled child to me."

"Hey~"

Yudachi instantly became energetic, and also climbed onto the bed and threw the pillow on the bed, then walked around behind Zhou He and threw himself on him, hugged his neck with both hands, leaned close to Zhou He, who tilted his head, and said coquettishly: "Commander, is Yudachi heavy?"

"This level is easy."

Feeling the softness on his back, Zhou He's spirits perked up, and even his eyes became profound. He noticed that Yuli seemed to want to carry him, but she was sitting cross-legged, and Yuli was indeed a bit heavy, so he gave up the idea of ​​getting up to carry her, and simply protected her back with one hand, leaned over and supported himself on the bed with his other hand - the idea was good, but he overestimated his physical fitness. He couldn't support the weight of hundreds of pounds with one hand, so he fell directly on the bed. He simply gave up and buried his face in the relatively soft quilt.

Zhou He was humorous, but Yuuri found it very interesting. He put his arms around Zhou He's neck and turned left and right. Finally, he found that his commander seemed to be unable to move because of him. So he stuck out his tongue, climbed down from him, and shrank beside him obediently.

"Yudachi still feels sorry for me."

Although Zhou He could not support Yuli riding a big horse, his body was still very strong. Yuli rolled around on him without any particular pain. He glanced sideways at Yuli who was looking at him worriedly, and stretched out his hand to pinch her round face with a smile. It was a pity that he lowered his head like this, and the northern hemisphere and ravines of Yuli's supermodel development were clearly visible. For a moment, he was so shocked that he could not take his eyes away, and his heartbeat began to accelerate.

When the ship girls are in the game, no matter how beautiful and exquisite their portraits are, they can only be seen but not touched. However, when they become reality, even though they are affected by the basic forces of the world that do not exist in the game, it is difficult to conceal their beauty and temptation that are almost flawless and like works of art.

Last time in the hot spring pool, maybe because he was too tired, he didn't fall into the state of being seduced by Yuudachi. This time, facing Yuudachi on the bed, he had to admit that he was moved.

However, it's just a heartbeat.

"That's all for today. It's time to rest."

Reaching out and holding Yuli's silky silver hair in his hands, Zhou He endured his accelerated heartbeat and leaned over to give Yuli a light kiss on the forehead. Then, smiling, he pulled the blinking Yuli into his arms and touched Yuli's shaking ears with his cheeks. The furry touch was very comfortable.

Yuli did not resist, but let Zhou He hug her. She reached out and grabbed the corner of Zhou He's clothes, and closed her eyes with satisfaction.

……

After traveling for more than half a month, it was the first time that Zhou He went to bed early and got up early. He couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep in the early morning. He was awakened by Yuudachi's movements just after five o'clock. Then, under Yuudachi's strange gaze, he got up with dead eyes and went into the bathroom. After coming out, he washed his face and yawned when he was done.

"I didn't use the pillow I brought yesterday at all."

While Zhou He was washing up and calming down, Yuli hugged (clamped) someone's pillow and rolled around on the bed. He waited until Zhou He came closer before speaking with a smile.

"Yes."

Zhou He rubbed his dry eyes. Although it was difficult to say, he was actually a little particular about his bed and pillow when he slept. Yesterday, he was worried that if he played with Xili for a while longer, his rationality would evaporate, so he didn't move. Having a fragrant pillow in his arms was secondary, as not having a pillow was really tormenting him.

"Commander, you still look very sleepy. You usually wake up around six o'clock, right?"

Yuudachi's energy is a complete mystery. He is full of energy just after waking up. He observes Zhou He and even makes inferences. He has no intention of getting out of bed at all.

"almost…"

"Spot checks!"

Zhou He was about to come back when a voice suddenly came from outside the door. Under the gaze of Zhou He and Yudachi, the door was opened from outside. Zuikaku, who did not show a trace of justice, appeared in front of the two of them solemnly. His eyes first saw Zhou He, who did not get enough sleep and looked sick, and then looked at Yudachi, who was lying on the bed with his hair scattered all over the bed. Although his clothes were wrinkled, his mental and physical state was exactly the same as yesterday. He crossed his arms for a moment and curled his lips regretfully: "Commander is totally incompetent."

"What scene do you want to see?"

Zhou He gritted his teeth and walked forward, intending to close the door, but he saw the shadow brought by the light in the corridor. He raised his brows and stuck his head out, and sure enough, he saw Hamman huddled together like a thief, destroyers such as Javelin, and even Z23 mixed in with them. The last one was Shokaku. When he looked over, Shokaku had just arrived on the third floor. Facing Zhou He's gaze, she touched the fingertips of her hands together and smiled apologetically.

"what--"

Zhou He withdrew his gaze and sighed deeply, then turned around and seriously picked up Yuudachi from the bed and walked to the door. He looked at Zuikaku with his emotionless eyes. The latter blinked and reached out to take Yuudachi very cooperatively.

"Let me sleep a little longer today."

After saying this, Zhou He smiled politely at Harman, Xianghe and others, then closed the door.

"It's scary! Sister Shoukaku~"

Zuikaku shrank his neck, put Yudachi on the ground, and then flew back into Shokaku's arms, crying, "Please don't do this again in the future. The commander's gaze just now gave me chills, more terrifying than ever before."

"Didn't you just say that the commander wouldn't get angry over such a small matter?"

Shokaku was also helpless and patted Zuikaku gently on the back. If it was a prank against Akagi Kaga, Hiryuu and Canglong, she would fully support it, but the target was Zhou He, her own commander. She had seriously advised him beforehand, but Zuikaku didn't listen at all and came with her friends, even saying that Zhou He was probably not awake yet.

"Wait until the commander wakes up and apologize."

Shokaku said this, and Zuikaku nodded in agreement obediently. The others who followed behind him also nodded. Only Yudachi was still rolling on the ground holding the pillow, as if he had obtained some treasure.

In the room, Zhou He buried his head in the pillow, and in an instant he realized that this was not his pillow, and his pillow was not that fragrant.

But it’s not appropriate to open the door and ask Yuudachi to change pillows now, so I can only make do with what I have.

……

The incident that happened in the morning made the command building lively. A group of kids were discussing how to apologize to Zhou He. The sound of their conversation attracted other people passing by. Tosa, Bismarck and other cold and silent members walked away after listening, but Hood and Nagashima were very interested. As a senior of everyone, the old aunt generously taught them how to apologize. The only trouble was that she entered the elder teaching mode, and the simple teaching period was infinitely extended by her stories with examples.

As a result, Zhou He took a nap and went downstairs, just in time to meet Hood talking about her experiences during the Imperial cruise. After taking the warm water handed to him by Hermione and drinking it, he walked around the many destroyers that were attracted by the story and left the command building.

"Hood is in a good mood today."

After catching up on two hours of sleep, Zhou He felt better. After going out, he turned his head to chat with Hermione and soon found out that the reason was that these little guys wanted to apologize to him.

"I am a little curious about the commander who could make Zuikaku feel scared."

Hermione smiled lightly, and her teasing words made Zhou He feel a little itchy, but he quickly calmed down and waved his hands with a smile: "That was just an instinctive reaction to buy some sleep time, and the feeling of being scary is probably because I didn't say anything."

"I see."

Hermione didn't believe it at all, but since Zhou He said so, she would take it as the truth. After all, she couldn't imagine what Zhou He looked like without speaking. Would it make people feel scared or moved?

"It seems we only have one first aid kit in the harbor. Are the tools in it enough to furnish Jarvis's infirmary?"

It is not fun to discuss things that make you angry. Zhou He changed the topic before entering the restaurant. The collaborative scientific research between Akashi and Lingmin has already taken shape, and other things that can enrich the life in the port area must be arranged as soon as possible.

He has never tried to sleep in the 'infirmary', this is a common event in anime, and he wants to try it.

There is also the "entertainment equipment" that Changdao mentioned. It is sold in the home system and the price is not expensive. After he finishes building the new dormitory, he can try to buy some for Akashi to research and mass-produce. It will be really convenient to master the technology by himself.

'In addition to being a research and development genius, Akashi in the game is also greedy and has strange settings. My family doesn't have that. Is it because of the environment?'

He didn't feel anything when Akashi was slacking off before, but now that he can use Akashi, Zhou He realized how useful this cat is. In terms of technology, his skills are almost equivalent to the blue fat man - of course, he still has to wait and see how Akashi performs to know the specific situation.

Not long after, Zhou He arrived at the restaurant. It was almost eight o'clock, but it was still time for breakfast. Zhou He casually ordered a breakfast for one person and chatted with Hermione about the situation around the port area.

Since going out was not an option, he had plenty of time to learn about and develop the island he was on.

"Ah, I heard what the commander said. Just now, Bismarck seemed to have mentioned that he wanted to visit the island and the other side."

Hermione conveyed information that Zhou He didn't know, which surprised him a little, and then he smiled. He was worrying about which ship girls to take with him for an outing, but he didn't expect that the candidates were already complete.

It was just right that he could also take this opportunity to discuss with Bismarck the mansion and estate she wanted. This kind of reward had to be implemented as soon as possible to avoid letting his family members mistakenly think that he was a pie-in-the-sky king.

"Hermione, you should come too, after helping Jarvis arrange the infirmary."

While chatting, the breakfast ordered by Zhou He was brought over by Manju, and the battle ended quickly under Hermione's gaze.

I'm almost used to being stared at while eating.

Chapter 88: Iron Blood Mansion

While eating, Zhou He saw Ruihe acting suspiciously outside. After he finished eating, he was blocked when he walked out the door.

"What happened this morning - I'm very sorry for disturbing the commander's rest!"

Without any hesitation, Ruihe, who was standing in front of Zhou He, bowed his head to express his apologies. These polite words, which he learned from somewhere, made Zhou He's eyes twitch. However, seeing Ruihe's serious and sincere look, it seemed that she was really apologizing to him, so he smiled and waved his hands to indicate that he was also to blame for this and that he had not controlled his emotions well.

After finishing, he looked around and didn't see anyone else, so he asked curiously, "Shoukaku didn't teach you these words, did he?"

"Ah, I just heard Hood talk about it and used it."

Zuikaku was also clear-headed. Seeing Zhou He accept the apology, he thought the matter was over. He took two steps back with a visibly relaxed expression and tilted his head to glance at the command center: "But Sister Xianghe said that apologies must be sincere."

"Shokaku is right, but some things vary from person to person. What Hood said is enjoyable, but it may be very provocative when it comes from you. You still have to be a little careful."

Zhou He nodded and made a few casual comments, but he saw Zuikaku's eyes sparkle subtly. He didn't want to know what this person had realized, so he walked out of the restaurant and stood on the road looking towards the pier. He could vaguely see people walking around and there were also people moving around in the bay. He squinted to identify them and it seemed that Cleveland was taking Montpellier to conduct spontaneous training there?

"Have you seen Tosa today?"

After confirming Bismarck's location, Zhou He retracted his gaze and asked Hermione and Zuikaku who followed him. Hermione shook her head, and Zuikaku tilted his head and thought for a while: "I saw her and Kaga went to the back."

The "behind" she mentioned refers to the back of the headquarters, in the direction of the island.

"is it?"

Zhou He was a little surprised. If he wanted to explore the inner island, he had thought of bringing Tosa along. Although this man was incomprehensible, he also had an extremely high sense of security. He was a level higher than Zuikaku, who also liked to wield swords.

Maybe this is the difference brought about by personal temperament.

"…I always feel underestimated by the commander. It's totally ok to discuss anything with me."

Zuikaku didn't have the ability to read minds, but she caught Zhou He's 'this guy's no good' attitude when he glanced at her, and she proudly proposed while patting her chest with her head held high.

"I want to go investigate the situation on the other side of the mountain today."

Zhou He walked towards the dock, spreading his hands to the side: "I heard that there are many fruit trees near the beach facing the sea, but I haven't been there. Judging from the recent temperature changes, it may be winter. Before that, I want to go out and relax."

“Is winter coming?”

Zuikaku and Hermione were both a little surprised. They could sense the precise changes in time within a day, but if they expanded the time axis, they were almost the same as ordinary people. In addition, they had high resistance and were not very sensitive to the cold.

"It's just my inference."

Zhou He was not sure either. After all, in his era, there was almost no spring and autumn. When the temperature went up, it was summer, and when the temperature dropped, it was winter. He didn't know what the situation was in this world, but with the sun coming out every day, the temperature continued to drop, and it got dark earlier than before. No matter how he thought about it, it was the point of seasonal change.

"In this case, the quilt reserves in the warehouse may not be enough."

Hermione had never doubted Zhou He's judgment. She frowned and told Zhou He about the storage of materials in the warehouse: when they joined, there were only four or five people in the port area, and the things in the warehouse could not be used up. They could even run to different empty rooms to find clothes that fit their sizes. But in a blink of an eye, the number of people increased to more than 20, and only a few sets of bedding were left in the warehouse after they were moved away.

The supplies provided by the system are only enough for Zhou He and 24 other ship girls, and they are autumn-limited styles, with only a thin blanket.

"It's okay, I'll replenish it when the time comes."

Zhou He, who owns the Home Mall, doesn't care about the shortage of these supplies. What he cares more about is whether it will be necessary to burn firewood for heating if the temperature is very low in winter. There is only a fireplace in the kitchen in the command building, and the other rooms only have air conditioning and no floor heating.

"Winter clothes?"

Zuikaku interrupted and asked, Zhou He hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll find a way."

Compared to going out to fight, these tedious logistical supply tasks gave Zhou He more headaches. In reality, the ship girls could not buy new clothes and wear them for several years like in the game. In fact, every time the ship girls went on an attack, a set of clothes would be scrapped. He had touched the original clothes that came with the ship girls during Hermione's washing and drying process, and some people came back with tattered clothes after wearing them out. These were also made of ordinary materials. The only outstanding feature was that they were very elastic and felt good.

In terms of clothes, Zhou He also has a plan to produce and design them by himself, but there are currently no talented ship girls in this area. If they don’t come soon, he can only spend his home coins to purchase them.

"Can Akashi design a piece of clothing that materializes energy?"

Obviously, he was planning to go for an outing, but with several problems after the arrival of winter in front of him, Zhou He had already started sweating. If he continued to calculate, the consumption of home coins would be an astronomical figure.

Putting these complicated issues aside for the moment, Zhou He strolled to the edge of the dock. Today, only Count Spee and U556 were with Bismarck. The submarine girl habitually swam in the sea, so Bismarck and Count Spee were both by the water. The latter sat casually on the ground, while the former stood straight. Even if you just looked at his back, you could feel the oppression and murderous aura brought by him - this kind of thing was not a fantasy, but a real existence in reality.

A person's temperament is closely related to his (her) mental outlook and personality. A half-shut-in like Zhou He is just a sheep even if he is transferred to a commander. However, people like Tosa and Bismarck are born with arrogant personalities and the aura of superiors. When Zhou He met Tosa, in addition to being not good at getting along with cold people, he was more uncomfortable getting along with Tosa. It was not just fear, but the person opposite was so outstanding that he could not look directly at him. He felt ashamed and instinctively wanted to retreat.

But after a while, he got used to it. Maybe this is what human nature is.

"Bismarck."

Zhou He, who was approaching, did not hear the conversation between the others, so he took the initiative to talk to Bismarck: "How is the housing plan being considered?"

"commander."
