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

"Before we arrive at North Union and I leave this cruise ship to set foot on land, I welcome your challenge at any time!"

"Any method is acceptable—but be mindful of the potential impact!"

"No time limit—but health must be considered!"

"No limit on the number of people—as long as we can recruit them!"

"If you can defeat me, I will consider it a victory for all of you! ...No, a victory for all the ship girls on this cruise ship! I can grant each of you one request!"

Li Wei was confident that he would never lose.

After all... he hasn't used his ultimate weapons for quite some time.

I don't know why, but ever since I boarded the ship, my missions have stopped refreshing and have remained stuck at the point of leaving the home port.

It's probably related to the situation at the home port itself.

Now is the perfect opportunity to bring it out and show it off.

Chapter 251 Bismarck lifts her heels: Please~

Having skipped the early morning detective adventure, Li Wei slept soundly until dawn.

This was the most restful sleep he had had since boarding the ship.

"Humanity."

“Lovely humans.”

"Is it time to get up?"

In a daze, Li Wei felt a ship girl calling him to wake up.

"Sleep a little longer..."

Are gentle calls ineffective, or... is humanity yearning for more drastic measures?

"Are there any stricter measures? Well, that's the only way then."

A pair of chocolate-silk feet gently stepped on the muzzle of the main cannon through the blanket, rubbing lightly through several layers of fabric.

Li Wei opened his eyes: "...Emden?"

"Since humans are unwilling to accept gentle calls, then we'll just have to try another method~"

Emden's nimble silk-clad feet had already slipped inside the blankets, accurately engaging the enemy where Li Wei couldn't see.

"...Why did you wake me up so early? Is there something you need?"

“It’s getting late now,” Emden said with a smile to Levi. “It’s already 8:05 a.m. — given how energetic humans are in the morning, Emden can postpone the wake-up time by a few minutes.”

"A few minutes might not be enough."

Li Wei tried to get up to relieve himself, but Emden gently stepped on his foot, preventing him from making any movement.

"Is this human planning to challenge Emden?" Emden tucked his long white hair behind his ear. "Looks like I'll have to show them my true skills~"

Real skill?

Li Wei watched helplessly as the soul and body behind Emden swapped places, and the silk feet stepping on the main cannon suddenly changed their style, switching from careful protection to a violent storm.

"Um……"

Emden switched back again, stepping her heterochromatic silk feet into high heels: "Now, is humanity fully awake?"

...I was awake a long time ago, it was you who wouldn't let me get up, okay?

Li Wei got up, took off his pajamas in front of Emden, and changed into his usual clothes.

Emden didn't mince words and began his report on today's work.

"We will arrive at the uninhabited island within an hour. Today's itinerary is to dock, anchor, and then explore the island."

"Today's routine is to dock at the port and then go ashore to greet the team members who were on duty here before us."

Of course, there's also plenty of time for exploring the island. Humans must miss this place!

"Hehe, although I'm reluctant to leave these lovely humans, Emden needs to prepare for today's landing work..."

This small island is located near the shipping route between the home port and the Northern Union, making it a necessary stop for ship girls traveling to and from the island, and also an important location for them to resupply along the way.

The cruise ship carrying Li Weisuo was headed to the first port of the Northern Union, and would naturally pass through here. Therefore, an important purpose of the journey was to rest and recuperate here for a period of time – which is one of the reasons why the cruise ship set sail several days in advance.

on the deck.

Bismarck is directing the ship girls to transport the supplies they are carrying to the ground.

"Open the cruise ship's unloading area!"

"The existing equipment will be used in two shifts, alternating between the two groups!"

"Establish block management during unloading according to the categories of materials that need to be transported!"

"Deliver the packed supplies to a place where they won't be affected by the tide!"

Li Wei walked up behind Bismarck and watched him work methodically.

At times like these, one can truly feel Bismarck's competence as an iron-fisted leader.

Along with his work ability came Bismarck's personal charisma.

"Commander, are you here to inspect the situation? Please give your instructions."

“Very well done.” Levi stepped forward, stood beside Bismarck, and pulled the girl into his arms. “How long will it take to work?”

Bismarck: "We've brought a lot of supplies this time, since there are quite a few ship girls who came with us, and we need to supply a lot of supplies. It will probably be around sunset."

Li Wei looked surprised: "Does it really take this long?"

"Well... after all, a cruise ship isn't a dedicated cargo ship. Although we tried our best to modify it, we only forcibly installed two loading and unloading mechanisms. If it were a cargo ship... it would probably be enough by noon."

"Thanks a lot."

“Yes, I’m going to stand here at sunset.” Bismarck turned back and smiled at Levi. “By the way, Commander…”

"uh-huh?"

"Is what you said before true?"

Li Wei didn't understand: "What is it?"

“It’s about…” Bismarck bit her lip lightly, her blond hair shining brightly in the sunlight, “that thing you mentioned about welcoming ship girls to challenge you anytime…”

Li Wei nodded: "Oh...that one? No problem, you're welcome anytime."

"That's good."

Using the two men's size as cover, Bismarck gently climbed onto the main gun with his fingers and began to explore the muzzle.

Li Wei: ...

Bismarck: "The Commander seems more composed than I expected... Is it because someone already challenged him this morning?"

Emden's image flashed through Li Wei's mind.

She didn't seem to mention any challenges?

Li Wei shook his head: "It shouldn't be considered a challenge... She didn't say it was a challenge."

"Oh~" Bismarck drawled, "So it seems that some unsuspecting ship girl got her hands on it... Let me guess, was it when she woke up in the morning?"

Li Wei nodded as he counterattacked. Since Bismarck was attacking from the front, to ensure both of them had enough space to avoid a fight, Li Wei began his counterattack from behind.

"So... what method did the commander use?"

"I'll give you one chance. If you can guess it, I'll give you a one-minute lead."

Bismarck blurted out: "Wrestling."

Li Wei: ...

Bismarck noticed Levi's expression and quickened his pace with delight: "I guessed right, didn't I?"

"Well, congratulations, you have a one-minute lead."

"Hum~"

One minute later, Li Wei started moving again.

Even if Bismarck had a one-minute advantage, firstly, on the deck, both sides used the same attack methods, and Levi's defense was far superior to Bismarck's; secondly, there were ship girls passing by from time to time, and Bismarck would pretend to discuss engineering issues with the commander, which would force her to interrupt her actions.

This one-minute advantage, while not exactly a unique advantage, is better than nothing.

In the end, Bismarck was defeated. Levi carried Bismarck back to her room to rest in a princess carry and also called a ship girl to take over Bismarck's job.

Since Bismarck failed the challenge, the commander can naturally get a reward as well, which is fair.

Bismarck lay in bed: "Commander..."

"Since you guessed so accurately, you must be able to guess the outcome this time too, right?"

Bismarck lifted her high heels: "Please~"

Chapter 152 The Zodiac Wants to See the Zodiac with the Commander

Open-air park

As one of the highest points on the cruise ship, the scenery here is quite beautiful. Furthermore, with some passengers having already disembarked and gone to the island, the ship seemed much quieter, and there were even fewer ship girls in the open-air park.

It's good that there are no people around; without people, I can get enough rest.

Li Wei stretched and planned to take a short nap on a park bench.

"Commander? So you haven't disembarked yet either."

The girl with gradient blue hair peeked out and looked at Li Wei, her voice tinged with surprise.

"Hmm... I just helped rearrange the goods, and I'm planning to rest for a bit before going down. What's the zodiac sign?"

After asking the question, Li Wei noticed the various pieces of equipment she was carrying.

More than one telescope, bracket, alignment device... it looks like a set of components for an astronomical telescope.

"As you can see, Commander, I'm here to set up equipment for astronomical observation."

"This is an astronomical telescope I brought from our home port. I thought I could observe different starscapes from different locations, so I specifically set it up here. I want to get it set up before disembarking... Ah, if it's possible, could you please help me with this, Commander?"

“Of course.” Li Wei stood up from his chair, walked to the constellation, and took the largest and heaviest-looking lens from her hand: “Are you planning to set this up in advance so we can start enjoying the starry sky tonight?”

The constellation handed the camera to the commander, while it picked up the tripod and began setting it up and leveling the ground.

Upon hearing Li Wei's question, Constellation smiled sweetly: "Yes, that's right. If you adjust your position in advance, you can appreciate the beauty of the starry sky even faster~."

"Would this be a better fit than the home port?"

“That’s right~” Constellation swiftly completed the tripod setup, assembling the lens from bottom to top, while answering Levi’s question: “The latitude and longitude here are perfect for stargazing, and the weather has been excellent lately, with no clouds obstructing the view…”

The constellation looked up as if it could already see the distant stars: "It must be very beautiful to look at from here at night."

The girl's voice was ethereal, as if she were already immersed in the observation.

"I see. Then I'll help too."

"Great! With the Commander's help, we can definitely speed things up a lot!"

"Commander, please help tighten these screws."

"Commander, help me adjust the camera, I'll take the position."

The constellation member secured the last component: "Now it's all assembled!"

Li Wei wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The telescope wasn't particularly complex, but judging from the sheer number of components, it must have been quite intricate. Li Wei was extremely careful throughout, and it took him a lot of effort.

"It looks so exquisite..."

"All astronomical telescopes are like this~"

The constellation rummaged through its bag for tissues: "Commander, wipe your sweat, you've worked hard, Commander~"

"It's daytime now, so we can't adjust the lens, right?" Li Wei took the tissue from Constellation, wiped his sweat, and then covered the lens of the telescope with a protective cover.

"The commander is very thoughtful, hehe..."
