Shipgirls and Salted Fish Commander, Port Survival Guide

Glorious glanced at her queen, who stood with her hands on her hips and a fierce look in her eyes, and sighed softly.

'He's usually so clever, but when it comes to things related to the Commander, he's just like a child~'

"Dong Dong Dong~"

There was a knock on the door.

"Enter!"

Queen Elizabeth shouted angrily.

"Ahem, sorry, sorry, I'm a little late. There are quite a few things to check up on."

Peeking out, Jing Su, with an embarrassed expression, entered the room from outside, carrying a bag.

"Hmph, my foolish and arrogant servant, you actually dared to come here? What, do you completely disregard me?"

Seeing the person she had been longing for finally appear, Queen Elizabeth visibly showed joy, but she forced herself to remain calm, slammed her hand on the table, and shouted.

Warspite stood nearby, covering his face, inwardly exasperated: 'My dear Your Majesty, what are you trying to do?! Just now you were desperately searching for them, and now that they're here, you're completely dismissive. Are you trying to drive them away?'

"Ahem, I'm so sorry, it's all my fault." Jing Su quickly entered the room, walked up to Queen Elizabeth, took out a small box from her bag, and handed it to the Queen. "This is my apology, please accept it, Your Majesty."

"Is it...is it a ring?" Queen Elizabeth's pupils contracted sharply upon seeing the box, and she exclaimed in surprise.

"Huh?" Jing Su was taken aback, then immediately realized that the box she had given him could indeed cause misunderstandings. She hurriedly said, "Ah, this, this is not a ring."

"Ha, if it's not a ring, why are you sending it? And why put it in such an easily misunderstood box? Are you trying to make fun of me?"

Realizing she had made a blunder, Queen Elizabeth's face turned bright red at a visible speed. Her pupils contracted, and her mouth opened slightly, as if she were subconsciously inhaling. Finally, Queen Elizabeth exploded, swinging her fist and charging towards Jing Su.

The momentum was like a missile, fast as lightning, and the resulting gust of wind hit Jing Su's face directly. It turned out to be the wind generated by the swinging fist. Elizabeth herself was held tightly by Warspite.

It's clear that Queen Elizabeth is truly intoxicated.

"Ahem, no, Your Majesty, please listen to me!" Seeing this scene, Jing Su hurriedly exclaimed, "Your Majesty is of such noble status, if you only use those common rings that can be bought in shops, wouldn't that be an insult to Your Majesty? How can that be allowed?"

If you're going to give someone a ring, you should definitely find the world's most beautiful diamond, have it crafted into an exquisite shape using complex techniques, and engrave the most heartfelt vows on it.

Only in this way can I express my feelings!

Perhaps it was the rapid release of adrenaline, or the effect of the survival instinct, in any case, Jing Su's brain was working at lightning speed. Before she could even react, she spoke at an astonishing pace, finishing the sentence she had just uttered at an extremely fast speed.

When Jing Su realized what she had said, she thought to herself, 'My God, what did I just say?'

"You, servant, were you serious about what you just said?"

Queen Elizabeth's body spun and swayed like a leaf falling from the sky, her neck was red, her cheeks were bulging, her forehead was steaming, and her eyes were darting around and flashing.

"It is true, naturally."

At this point, what could Jing Su say? She had to grit her teeth and admit it.

"Eeeah ah ah, you, I, ah ah."

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Queen Elizabeth screamed, covered her face, and rushed out of the room.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Warspite stamped his foot, gritted his teeth, and ran out after him.

As she left, she turned back and gave Jing Su a wistful look.

"Commander, I want one too."

After Queen Elizabeth and Warspite left, the door was closed, her neck was wrapped, and a soft voice sounded in her ear.

"?"

"I want a ring engraved with loving words too."

As your subject, I won't ask you to find the most exquisite diamonds, ordinary diamonds will do. But for words of deep affection, I want the most beautiful ones, not just to be engraved on a ring, but to be read to me by you every day and every night.

Come to think of it, I've never heard the Commander confess his feelings before. What a cunning and wicked fellow!

"this..."

At this moment, Jing Su finally realized what was wrong. He had said those words in front of the two married ships. Even if Warspite and Illustrious were relatively magnanimous and considerate, doing so was like playing with fire.

"If you refuse, I want it ten times every night!"

"Ahem, fulfilling my wife's request is my duty!"

Chapter 139 Unforgettable Years

"So, Commander, are these your medical examination reports?"

As he flipped through the report Jing Su handed him, Guanghui's expression was serious and solemn.

"Everything Perseus gave me is here." Jing Su nodded. "Is there a problem?"

Before coming, Jing Su had already asked Perseus and was told that there was basically nothing wrong, except for a little malnutrition. On the way, Jing Su also reviewed the information again.

As the saying goes, "experience is the best teacher." In his previous life, Jing Su had been to the hospital many times because of gastrointestinal problems. Over time, he was able to understand simple medical reports. Based on his experience, Jing Su could only conclude that his bilirubin levels were slightly elevated.

However, Jing Su herself speculated that it was because she had been staying up late recently and had eaten barbecue for two days in a row. After Jing Su realized that these indicators were too high, she even went to the bathroom to look in the mirror, but found that she didn't have any problems.

If there were a real problem, the outward manifestation would be jaundice and discoloration of the whites of the eyes. However, Jing Su's eyes were as clear as white paper, with only faint blood vessels visible. In other words, there was nothing seriously wrong.

"Looking at the data alone, there's nothing wrong. But, Commander, you're so thin! Is this how the Eastern Empire treats you? Starving you like this!"

Putting down the report, Guanghui said irritably.

"Haha, this is an old problem, I just need to take some supplements, it's not a big deal." Jing Su laughed it off.

Since the car accident, her stomach has been acting up every now and then. She'll experience pain here or bloating there. In short, her digestive and absorption abilities have been severely impaired, which has made Jing Su quite thin.

"Commander, your health is important! How can you be so frivolous!" Seeing Jing Su's nonchalant expression, Glorious stood up, a rare look of displeasure on his face. He put one hand on his hip, pointed the other to the sky, and said angrily.

"I see!"

The first wife's imposing presence made Jing Su nod vigorously.

"Something's not right!"

Just as Jing Su was about to say something and change the subject, Guang Hui suddenly frowned, returned to his seat, took out his tablet, and started typing away.

"what happened?"

Guanghui's serious expression startled Jing Su; why did he suddenly look like the sky was falling?

"Commander, after you came back, you went to the Eastern Empire camp first, right? Did you stay anywhere else during that time?"

"If we don't count the time spent at sea, we didn't go anywhere else. I had barely realized it when I was taken to the Donghuang base," Jing Su replied after a moment's recollection.

"Did you have a physical examination in the Eastern Empire camp?" Guanghui asked.

“Yes, we have that.” Jing Su nodded.

When Yi Xian heard Jing Su say that he had a stomach problem, he was so scared that he almost turned the boat around and tried to take Jing Su to a big hospital for emergency treatment. Jing Su had to persuade him to stop.

Ship girls are not prone to getting sick. Even if they do get sick, it's usually just a cold or cough. It's extremely difficult for them to get sick to the point of having a fever. Therefore, there are basically no hospitals or similar places in each faction's base.

At most, they might set up a pharmacy with some cold medicine, anti-inflammatory drugs, or disinfectants like alcohol. But usually, these are just for show. For ship girls, even if they get injured, as long as they have enough resources, they can usually recover in a day in bed.

"Do you have the data?" Guanghui was overjoyed to hear that Jing Su had undergone a physical examination in the Donghuang camp and hurriedly asked for the information.

"Over there in Donghuang, they only weighed me and checked my limbs. They didn't have any internal medicine data."

Jing Su took the tablet and began accessing her data while explaining it to Guang Hui.

As they spoke, Jing Su recalled the incident that occurred during the physical examination at the Donghuang camp. Due to the reasons mentioned earlier, the camp's base did not have any professional examination equipment, but things like weighing and measuring height could be done with a ruler and a scale.

After learning that Jing Su needed a medical examination, more than a dozen ship girls were crammed into the small examination room. Almost all the Donghuang ship girls stationed there came over to say they needed a medical examination.

After all, it was a physical exam, and to ensure the data was more accurate, Yi Xian required Jing Su to take off all her clothes, leaving her only in her underwear. From her height and weight to the subsequent examination of her limbs, Jing Su stared at her underwear and trembled under Yi Xian's clutches.

"I have your weight data, that's all. Can I take a look?"

The radiant voice interrupted Jing Su's recollection, bringing him back to reality from that embarrassing scene.

'Thank goodness, we almost took off again!'

"Here you go, it's all here."

Jing Su retrieved her medical examination data from Donghuang and handed it to Guanghui.

"Let me see."

Taking the tablet, Radiant's eyes immediately focused on it. He then picked up the data from the medical examination at Perseus, compared it back and forth, and repeatedly confirmed it. Finally, he let out a breath.

"Sigh, as expected, there's something wrong with this place."

"what happened?"

Noticing Guanghui's strange expression, Jing Su was startled. What was going on?!

“Commander, look.” Glorious handed over the tablet and paper report together, pointed to the weight column, and said, “This is the data you obtained from the test at the Eastern Empire base, Commander, 50KG.”

And this is your weight, which you just measured at the Perseus constellation: 47KG.

Other data, such as height, vision, and hearing, remained largely unchanged.

"So that means!?" Since Guanghui had pointed out the abnormal data, Jing Su naturally noticed something was wrong and frowned slightly.

"In other words, if we exclude the situation where Yi Xian didn't feed you properly in Donghuang, Commander, you lost three kilograms in just one month."

"Can't it be normal weight fluctuations?" Jing Su asked. "With this level of reduction, weight loss is easily achievable."

“I also hope for normal weight fluctuations,” Glorious sighed. “But, Commander, you were already very thin. Let alone now at 47KG, even at your original 50KG, you would be skin and bones without a doubt.”

In this situation, gaining weight is easy, but losing it is very difficult. And this is only a short month! Unless you, Commander, are starving and doing strenuous exercise every day, I don't think you will experience such a significant weight loss.

If it's really just normal weight fluctuation, Commander, don't stop me! I'll definitely suggest to His Majesty that we hold Donghuang accountable!

To let her be the first to receive the Commander, and to dare to let you starve yourself to thinness, there is no more heinous crime in the world.

"Gulu~"

Seeing Guanghui's serious expression, Jing Su swallowed. Guanghui's resolute expression told Jing Su that if Jing Su's weight loss was really due to food, the final outcome would definitely not be just a simple matter of being punished.

"Don't bother suggesting it to me, Radiance. If Yi Xian really treats his servants like that, I'll allow you to do whatever you want, and I'll bear all the consequences!"

At that moment, Queen Elizabeth's sharp voice rang out, and before anyone knew it, Warspite and Queen Elizabeth were standing at the door.

"Ahem, then it can't be normal weight loss." Seeing that the atmosphere was really not right, Jing Su quickly stood up and said, "I believe everyone knows what Yi Xian is like. Even if you don't know, compared to the food I get in the Royal Camp, Guanghui, and Her Majesty the Queen, do you think Yi Xian would let me go hungry?"

"That's true. No matter how poor we are, we can't skimp on food."

Radiance nodded in agreement, and the chilling aura that had filled the room gradually dissipated, allowing Jing Su to breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they were currently in the Royal camp, and Radiance was also present.

Glorious is considered a relatively easy-going ship girl. Jing Su thinks that if she were currently in the Sakura Empire or Iron Blood, and if those more extreme ship girls found out, she might be starved to death, and who knows what might happen.

Looks like I need to find a way to gain weight.

Jing Su thought to herself.

"Since it wasn't from starvation, the Commander must be eating well in our Royal Navy, right?" Warspite chimed in, "Then, the Commander's sudden weight loss must have other reasons. It can't be something wrong with his health, can it?"

"Ahem, that's definitely not it. I just finished my physical exam. What are you saying, Warspite?" Jing Su was extremely cautious now, and she would immediately change the subject if the atmosphere became awkward.

The expressions and aura of Queen Elizabeth and Glorious just now were truly terrifying. Jing Su felt that if it weren't for her own battlefield, what Queen Elizabeth said wouldn't be 'demanding an explanation,' but rather a direct declaration of war.

"Was it the test last night?" Although Warspite is usually rather clueless, she can be quite quick-witted when it comes to crucial moments.

“It should be.” Guanghui stepped forward and briefly recounted what had happened that morning, omitting the process of searching for the clothes.

“But no matter how I think about it, it seems outrageous.” Jing Su picked up the report and examined it several times. She had indeed lost three kilograms. She said helplessly, “If it’s really because of the test, then it’s too exaggerated. You two witnessed what happened last night, Warspite and Glorious.”

Especially Radiance, you're one of the people who personally experienced the experiment. You definitely know better than I how much power I granted you. With that kind of immense power, even if I used my whole body as fuel, I couldn't create such a commotion, let alone six pounds of flesh."

This was Jing Su's judgment. Although he was not a physics major, he had studied physics and chemistry in college. Last night, in the state of empty shells, a single shell blast blasted the target ship into dust, leaving no possibility of salvage. If such power was caused by his own weight loss, wouldn't he have become a walking super bomb?

"Not necessarily, Commander," Glorious said with a smile. "Commander, the potential you possess may exceed your imagination."

"Indeed, Commander, you may not remember, but I still have an impression. When the port was first established, you fought on the front line with the ship girls, and the frequency of sorties was almost non-stop day and night. Many of the sisters were so tired that they were mentally exhausted, but you still had to sortie. It was just that you would switch to a different team of ship girls."

So much so that we all thought back then, Commander, you're just crazy, how can you fight like that?

"Everyone says ship girls are made of iron, but Commander, you're just a forger! That's too much!" Warspite chimed in, a sorrowful expression on her face, but her eyes were filled with memories. It was easy to see that Warspite still missed those days of bloody battles.

"what?"

Jing Su was taken aback, somewhat confused, but then she realized that what Yan Zhan was talking about was probably how she leveled up her character by pouring oil in the game.

Jing Su said that he has two mobile phones and a tablet. His favorite thing to do is to watch videos while idling to level up his ship girls. For Jing Su, what he likes to see most when playing games is the ship girls' affection level rising "snap up". So much so that Jing Su would rather get oil in the less costly map 9 than go to map 12 to farm resources.

After all, even with the oil lock feature, the oil consumption in map 12 is still much higher than in map 9, not to mention that the early game didn't have the oil lock feature.
