I'm in the azure sky, and I have an anti-fraud app.

"Well……"

I've always wanted to experience it and see what it feels like to do the way the commander likes best.

Stepping on it felt a little hot and a little sticky... well, it wasn't something I was used to, but I didn't dislike it either...

"Thank you for your hospitality, Commander. I'm full."

Shimanto expressed his gratitude to Li Wei in accordance with the traditional etiquette of the Cherry Blossom Kingdom.

Although the expected epic battle didn't unfold, the result is still quite good.

She has achieved all her goals at the home port and will leave today for the transit island she mentioned yesterday, where she will take shelter from the weather and oversee the construction of the island's port.

Li Wei went straight to the sports meet.

As this is the hottest event in the port area recently, Li Wei has to show up every day. Many ship girls were already disappointed that they didn't get to watch the competition yesterday, so today Li Wei decided to watch the previous day's competition to really motivate the ship girls.

...This is absolutely not a requirement of the mission.

"Today's mission: Watch the sports meet events and encourage at least 3 ship girls."

"Mission Reward: Search Ability Level 3".

"Mission judgment: If the number of encouraging ship girls is less than 3 after all the events of today's sports meet have ended, the mission will fail and the reward will be lost."

As a powerful and versatile ability, the search capability is something Levi intends to acquire as soon as possible.

Belfast!

As long as you are within the port area, the head maid will appear immediately whenever you call Belfast.

She's such a thoughtful and reliable head maid.

It would be even more perfect if I weren't so greedy...

"Master, are you looking for me?"

"Yes, what matches are there today?"

"Are you planning to watch the game? Today's matches include..."

Chapter 166 Who exactly is exercising?

morning.

Li Wei sat on the stage, watching the track and field competition.

The ship girls are not only fighting hard on stage, but also... under the table...

Eldridge peeked out from under Levi's desk and stretched out his arms to Levi: "Commander... hug me..."

Li Wei pulled the little girl into his arms, not minding the lingering taste in her breath at all. He gently kissed her pink lips.

"commander……"

This quiet and adorable little girl most often uses these three words.

"Okay, come on, let's watch the competition." The 20000-meter heavy cruiser ship girl track and field competition is about to begin, and Li Wei is also curious about the final result.

Li Wei originally thought there would be many events like 400 meters and 1000 meters, and that 10000 meters would be a rare long-distance race.

However, much to Li Wei's surprise, 20000 meters is already considered a "sprint" in the eyes of ship girls, taking only about 20 minutes at full speed, and some ship girls can even run it in just over ten minutes.

Even for a short distance, given the physical capabilities of the ship girls, they probably wouldn't have reached full speed before covering half the distance...

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense, after all, they are ship girls...

For voyages at sea that often last for days, a few tens of minutes is practically a sprint...

Eldridge sat obediently in Levi's lap, but soon became naughty again.

Something was pressing against her, making the little girl feel unable to straighten her posture.

Twisting and twisting...

The more you twist it, the more uncomfortable it becomes...

The little girl had tasted it just a few minutes ago, so she naturally knew what it was.

How can one meal be enough?

The little girl secretly reached out and grabbed it, planning to find another opportunity to eat it.

As Saratoga's commentary played, Levi pulled Eldridge up to him, preventing her from continuing.

"Well……"

"Welcome to this exciting women's 2000-meter track and field event! The sun shines on the track, and every athlete is like a butterfly about to emerge from its cocoon, ready to take flight."

Saratoga's voice was full of energy.

"The first one to catch the eye is the Baltimore athlete from the White Eagles, her eyes gleaming with confidence! It's as if the gold medal is already in her grasp!"

Baltimore waved to Levi, and Levi waved back.

Eldridge seized the opportunity and gently clamped his little legs together.

Li Wei's body trembled slightly.

Li Wei: ...

When he lowered his hand, he casually patted the little girl's jelly.

I originally planned to use a little more force, but in the end I couldn't bear to.

"Following her was Kent from the Royals, whose steps were light yet powerful, each step seemingly declaring her confidence to the track!"

Kent seemed a little nervous, keeping his eyes fixed on the ground.

Both are heavy cruisers, Kent, show some confidence!

As if hearing Levi's thoughts, Kent looked up and smiled at Levi.

Li Wei continued waving.

Eldridge gripped his stern tightly and poked at it with his fingers, only then realizing more clearly that it was almost as long as the rear half of his boat.

Can such a behemoth really fit inside the core module...?

"Of course, there's also Maya from Sakura Empire. She has a confident smile on her face, a fearless exploration of her own limits. She believes she has a huge advantage!"

Ok……

In a sense, Maya is indeed the most advantageous ship girl.

Under Eldridge's manipulation, Levi's main gun emerged from Eldridge's cabin like a missile about to be launched vertically, pointing straight at the sky. Luckily, the table in front of Levi wasn't low, otherwise…

Levi had no interest in paying attention to Saratoga's subsequent introduction—if he didn't interfere with Eldridge soon, this little girl would put on a show in front of all the ship girls.

However, Eldridge just seems naturally naive.

Which of the ship girls who manage to sneak in opportunities under the table is truly an innocent airhead?

Using her status and height, and taking advantage of Levi's inability to move freely in front of so many ship girls, Eldridge successfully escaped Levi's control. She grabbed the missile that shot into the sky, ready to test its power and see just how strong it really was.

Saratoga: "The match is about to begin..."

Eldridge: "Commander...we're about to...begin..."

Li Wei: ...

Still careless.

It's too late now.

"With the 'bang' of the starting gun, the competition officially began!"

Along with the starting pistol, Eldridge's small core chamber also made a "gurgling" sound as the missile was launched.

"come on, come on, come on!"

The cheerleaders on the sidelines cheered enthusiastically.

Li Wei had a strange feeling that the cheerleaders were cheering him on, and even their rhythms were perfectly in sync.

The moment the cheerleaders shouted their first cheer was also the moment Eldridge sat in the deepest part of his seat.

The cheerleaders shouted "Go Eldridge!" just as he was trying his best to lift himself up.

"Baltimore shot off like an arrow from a bow, bursting out of the starting line in an instant and showing amazing explosive power."

Li Wei held Eldridge up from behind, preventing her from moving too quickly and protecting her. How could a destroyer possibly take down a top-tier torpedo in one go? Li Wei had to provide Eldridge with adequate protection.

Kent followed closely behind, maintaining a steady pace, seemingly gathering strength and waiting for the crucial moment to unleash his power.

Eldridge gently bit her lip, her movements gradually stabilizing—although she was a loli in stature, her adaptability was almost the same as that of a teenage girl, and this proved useful at this moment.

"Maya adopted a more strategic running style, taking her time and looking for the best opportunity to overtake."

While everyone's attention was focused on the competition, Li Wei quietly changed to the most convenient position, allowing the little girl in his arms to exercise fully.

"As the race progressed, the athletes' stamina began to be tested. Baltimore was still in the lead, but her breathing became noticeably heavier, and each step seemed more difficult."

Eldridge's stamina was being tested. She had overestimated herself and underestimated the power of the Commander's torpedoes. Fortunately, the cheers from the ship girls around the arena were quite loud, which allowed the occasional murmurs that Eldridge let slip through her cracks to get away with it.

"Kent began to accelerate, gradually closing the gap with Baltimore, her eyes filled with determination."

Li Wei was following Kent's example. He had to finish the match before it ended, otherwise it would be difficult to clean up and he would inevitably have to use his abilities.

"And Maya, at this moment, seems to have found her rhythm and is catching up at an astonishing speed!"

Eldridge adapted to the rhythm at an astonishing speed, and even tried to take the initiative, giving Levi a little little shock.

"The final 500 meters! Sprint! Baltimore grits his teeth and gives it his all to hold onto his lead!"

Levi imitated Baltimore by speeding up his movements, except that Baltimore sprinted towards a target point, while Levi sprinted towards the ship girls.

"Kent followed closely behind, each swing of her arm seemingly declaring her perseverance to her opponent!"

Eldridge gently placed his small hand outside the core module, as if trying to locate something, moving it up and down, and finally found it after a few minutes.

"Moya, relying on her unique physical advantages, is now closing in on the top two. Her eyes are only on the finish line; that is the only direction in her heart!"

Eldridge gently pressed his target.

Li Wei pushed himself up slightly, then sat heavily in his seat.

"call……"

Saratoga's voice came at just the right moment: "Finally, as the finish line draws near, a fierce competition has come to an end."

"Maya overtook Baltimore with an amazing burst of power at the last moment and won the championship!"

Baltimore followed closely behind, securing second place!

"Brennus from Iris won third place!"

On stage, Jiajia vigorously waved her little fist: "I told you, this body type has an advantage!"

All the ship girls ignored Saratoga's last self-aggrandizing remark.

Chapter 167 The basis for the grouping was indeed... (Bonus chapter for 60 monthly votes)

In the afternoon, at the swimming pool.

Having learned from the morning's experience, Li Wei chose a transparent referee table in the afternoon, causing a group of ship girls to stomp their feet in frustration and cry foul.

Li Wei himself was very pleased with himself.

It's great to have ship girls under the table, but it's not so great if every ship girl wants to crawl under her table.

During the morning's track and field competition, the ship girls were all wearing sportswear. Although it was also a style of shorts and tube tops, it wasn't much more fabric than the swimsuits in front of them now.

However, track and field events emphasize athletic vitality, and the ship girls speeding across the track were not as pleasing to the eye as their current swimsuits.

Especially sports like diving.

It's unclear who set the rules for this sport, but before the ship girls compete in a diving contest, they have to show off their skills in a lap.

Even their physical data had to be read out by other ship girls, ostensibly to "facilitate grouping."

Although Li Wei doesn't understand diving very well, he appreciates its beauty without any difficulty.

The first group of ship girls: Hatsuzuki, Noshiro, and Centaur.
