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

The aroma and bitterness are layered and endless, with a hint of rubber in the sweetness, bringing a shock that goes straight to the top of your head.

Long Wu looked expectant: "Commander, how is it?"

Li Wei relaxed his face, which had been contorted with disgust at the taste, and said in a hoarse voice, "This kind of delicious food must be shared with more people..."

Dunkirk: ...

The girl looked at her with pity.

However, Long Wu hadn't reacted yet, thinking that the commander was praising him: "Is it really that delicious? But looking at this color, I feel... never mind, I'll try it myself. I haven't tasted it yet while I was making the batter."

Li Wei quickly cut a piece of cake and put it into Long Wu's mouth. Dunkirk, unable to stop Long Wu in time, could only watch helplessly as Long Wu's facial features underwent the same changes as Li Wei's.

Dunkirk: ε=('ο｀*))) Sigh

Silly child, can't you tell whether it tastes good or not?

Long Wu: ...

She quickly picked up the plate and poured the remaining cake into the food waste bin.

Li Wei said with regret, "We haven't even tasted Dunkirk yet, it's such a waste to just throw it away."

Dunkirk: ...

That's not necessary.

Just by looking at your and Longwu's expressions, I can already imagine the taste and flavor.

"Cooking... traditional dishes are better... hmm." The dragon warrior pretended not to hear: "Commander, are you hungry? I'll cook you a big meal!"

Dunkirk walked over to the oven: "Commander, I'll bake you a box of sweet macarons. Please forgive my earlier slip of the tongue..."

Watching Long Wu bustling around at the furthest stove, Li Wei decided to focus his attention on Dunkirk: "One box of macarons isn't enough."

Dunkirk tried his best to make amends: "What else would you like to eat, Commander? I'll make anything I can make right now!"

Li Wei had already walked up behind the girl, lifting her apron and skirt together to reveal a round and cute jelly: "What if I said that what I want to eat... is Dunkirk?"

Chapter 260 Another Time's Stronghold

November 17st

"Today's schedule is..."

Li Wei muttered to himself as he rummaged under his pillow, searching for his communication device.

"Commander, is this what you're looking for?"

A cold, clear voice. Li Wei opened his eyes and found the Soviet Union standing in front of him, holding his cell phone in their hand.

"When I came in, I saw that the Commander's communication device had fallen on the ground, so I picked it up for him."

Given the nature of the Soviet Union, they wouldn't lie about something like this.

Li Wei took the phone and found that his wallpaper had been changed to an image of an Arctic hare.

Li Wei: ...

Noticing Li Wei's gaze, the Soviet Union blushed slightly: "...Random, really..."

Li Wei got out of bed and changed out of his pajamas in front of the Soviet Union.

I'm still getting used to not being served by Belfast...

"What brings you here so early?"

"Commander, a new ship girl has caught up with the cruise ship and specifically asked to see you."

Li Wei got up and put on his pants: "A new ship girl? She specifically asked for me?"

The Soviet Union's gaze shifted: "Yes, it's a group of hurricane ship girls. They came from a small island near their home port."

"Oh...the Royal Fortune, right?" Li Wei zipped up his pants. "I thought it was someone else...did they say what they wanted to do?"

The Hurricane ship girls are few in number, live in different eras, have different lifestyles, and belong to a completely different faction from modern ship girls. They are usually only close to the commander and are not very familiar with other ship girls, keeping a distance from them.

In addition, the Soviet Union lived in the north most of the year and did not return to its home port often, so it was even less familiar with the hurricane ship girls who liked to stay in tropical waters all year round.

That's why the Soviet Union used the term "new ship girls" to describe them, even though this "new" might be hundreds of years older than them.

“No.” The Soviet Union shook its head: “They pointed in another direction and wanted to invite us there, but they didn’t say what was in that direction.”

Is there anything unusual nearby?

"No, not either." The Soviet Union hesitated slightly. "However, according to observations, there is a chance that a storm will form ahead."

Li Wei, dressed neatly, said, "Take me to see them, to see where the Hurricane ship girls really want to go."

The Soviet Union pulled Li Wei back: "Wait a moment, Commander, your appearance still needs further tidying up."

Li Wei glanced at the mirror: "What?"

The Soviet Union leader took a deep breath, moved closer to Li Wei, and straightened her collar, his face flushed the entire time. This intimate gesture clearly made the girl a little nervous; even her fingers trembled slightly.

"Ah, sorry..."

Li Wei wanted to apologize, but he was so used to being served by the maids that he didn't really care about these details.

However, the Soviet Union silenced Livy, and the taste from the Arctic lingered in his mouth.

“You’ve forgotten this, Commander.”

……

"Commander, you've finally arrived!"

In the conference room, the Royal Fortune was devouring royal desserts, while the Golden Deer watched Li Wei with a smile.

Belfast stood aside, serving the guests on behalf of Levi.

Li Wei sat down opposite the two men with a nonchalant air: "Why did you two come here?"

"This is uncomfortable, there's no bird here, let's just bring the wine to the guild hall!"

(I was bored, so I came to play with the Commander!)

"...Swallow it before you speak."

Royal Fortune swallowed the food in her mouth: "Oh dear, we Hurricane ship girls have just finished building a new base and would like to invite the Commander to come and visit."

Li Wei was almost used to it: "Builded another new base? Which deserted island have you set your sights on?"

Hurricane ship girls usually have a great interest in concepts such as treasure, and burying their own treasures everywhere and developing new treasure locations are also among their common hobbies.

“This time it’s not on a deserted island.” The Royal Fortune smiled. “Commander, would you like to guess where we’ve set up our base this time? If you can guess, I’ll give you all my treasures.”

Li Wei looked surprised: "Such a big gamble? Are you that confident in your hiding place?"

The Royal Fortune said smugly, "That's right, the form of this base is completely different from the previous ones."

The Golden Hind simply sat to the side, watching the Royal Fortune and the Commander make their bet, without any intention of intervening.

"let me see……"

Li Wei said this, but in reality he was trying hard to recall the plot of the game.

Li Wei vaguely remembered the cruise ship storyline. However, the events depicted in that event occurred several years after his transmigration. Since arriving in this world, he had been so engrossed in his new life that he had no desire to reminisce about the past. Now, suddenly trying to recall the details of the events from several years ago was proving quite difficult.

"Hmph... Commander, you'd never guess, would you?"

The Royal Fortune tossed a pastry into its mouth, looking quite pleased with itself.

The Golden Hind then advised the Royal Fortune, "You're just making the Commander guess like this, without giving him any hints. Isn't that taking advantage of him?"

"I've staked all my wealth on this, so it's only natural that it's a little difficult, right?"

Jinlu could only smile and shake his head, saying nothing more.

Another few minutes passed.

The Royal Fortune has devoured all the desserts. As expected of a ship girl in the history of the Royal Navy, she can eat all the Royal Navy's desserts with such momentum.

"Commander, am I going to reveal the answer?"

"Wait, give me a little more time."

Hurricanes, different forms of existence, time, era...

Several keywords kept searching through my mind.

Li Wei remembered.

“Your base was set up at another time.”

The Royal Fortune ship gaped, its face filled with astonishment.

Golden Hind's expression froze. The fact that the commander could guess such an obscure answer was clearly beyond her expectations.

The other ship girls didn't understand: "Another time? What does 'another time' mean? Does it mean we can travel through time?"

Li Wei said smugly, "Looks like I guessed right!"

"Commander, this is boring!" Royal Fortune pouted. "I was planning to give you a surprise, but you guessed it!"

"Now all your wealth is mine!"

"Well..." Royal Fortune wasn't as disappointed as she had expected. She handed the empty plate to the maid, indicating that she hadn't eaten enough, then looked at Levi with a sly smile:

"The wealth of the Royal Fortune originally belonged to the Commander, so this bet makes no difference."

Now it was Li Wei's turn to freeze.

Chapter 261 The Island That Travels Through Time

Guided by the Royal Fortune and the Golden Deer, the cruise ship faced the towering hurricane three hours later, successfully crossed the "time barrier," and arrived at the new base established by the hurricane ship girls at a point in the past.

The port of the Hurricane ship girls has a distinct faction-specific character, or rather... a character from a particular era. Unlike the home port, which is filled with various technological facilities, the large number of wooden products gives this port a sense of historical weight.

The remaining Hurricane ship girls lined up at the port to present a welcoming ceremony to the commander.

"Is this the deserted island from hundreds of years ago? It doesn't seem that different..."

"They're all islands, what's the difference?"

"That's not necessarily true. There's an old saying in Donghuang, something like... something about discernment..."

"You mean the vicissitudes of life, right? That's not an old saying, it's an idiom!"

……

The ship girls dispersed to observe on their own, while Levi, accompanied by Belfast and the Soviet Union, headed to the center of the uninhabited island with the Hurricane ship girls.

This island was larger than Levi had imagined, even larger than the transit island where they had stopped a few days ago. The Hurricane ship girls had only developed a small portion of it—after all, their numbers were small, and a small area was enough for them.

Mary Celeste: "Commander, we've reserved a special area for you. The temperature, humidity, and environment here are quite different from outside. If you like, you're welcome to come and vacation anytime. It's sure to bring you a unique experience!"

Li Wei: "Really? I can consider it."

Veda: "Commander, there are many rare ingredients here! Some fish that were extinct in your time are still plentiful now. It's perfect for changing things up!"

Li Wei: "There's actually this kind of benefit..."

Golden Hind: "Commander, why don't you rest on the island tonight? We've prepared plenty of hurricane-themed decorations for you. Whether you want to swim in a mountain of gold or indulge in pirate royalty, it's all good~"

Li Wei decisively grasped the key point: "A detailed explanation of pirate royal power."

"Ah, Commander, you're really interested in this part~" The Golden Deer nestled close to Levi, its voice growing increasingly sweet: "Pirates only care about a few things, right? Wealth, beauty... Since we've already given an example like a gold mine, what a royal family can enjoy is self-evident~"

As they spoke, the tentacles on the back of the Golden Deer began to stir.

Li Wei: ...

Tentacle play is still a bit too early for him.

"Hehe, Commander, it's okay if you don't like this way of playing, I have plenty of other ways to play~"

"Ahem..." Belfast couldn't stand it anymore and cleared his throat: "Commander, because the original voyage plan has been changed, please make some temporary arrangements for this afternoon's plan."

After being interrupted, the Golden Deer reluctantly took a half-step back, without overstepping its bounds. In this respect, the Hurricane ship girls have always regarded their captains as masters, and are even more loyal than the current ship girls.

"Afternoon?" Li Wei thought for a moment. "What was the original plan for the afternoon?"

Belfast: "We were planning a masquerade ball tonight, and there was a lot of preparation work to be done this afternoon."
