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

"Of course it will, but it won't drip. The melted snow will quickly turn back into ice, which will not only not affect us, but will also improve the insulation of the house."

Li Wei said he had learned something.

After experiencing the snow hut in its entirety, the two went outside to admire the aurora borealis.

Although the sky wasn't particularly dark due to the season, it didn't detract from the beauty of the aurora borealis.

"gorgeous……"

"yes……"

"Phew... I feel a bit hot..."

"A bit hot? Now?"

“Yes… Ah, we ship girls aren’t afraid of changes in external temperature. As long as it doesn’t affect the Mental Cube, it won’t have any impact on our bodies.” The Soviet Union grasped Levi’s hand, gesturing for her to feel her body temperature: “How are you?”

The Soviet's palms were very warm, and there was indeed no effect from the cold.

"So...we can actually try something a little more difficult~"

"Highly difficult?"

For example... like this~

Undeterred by the wind and snow, the Soviet Union let a pair of cotton candies out of their coats to get some fresh air, creating a stark contrast with Livy, who was still wearing his coat.

Despite having accepted the Soviet Union's explanation, Li Wei still subconsciously asked with concern, "Aren't you cold wearing all that air? You're so overdressed."

"Whether it's cold or not, Commander, why don't you try it and see?"

The Soviet Union grabbed Li Wei's hand and forced it onto their marshmallow, so that Li Wei could feel the warmth of the marshmallow.

Despite the low outside temperature, the marshmallow felt incredibly warm. Especially near the landmark, it seemed to draw Levi's attention like a miniature sun.

"If the Commander is so interested, you may try some more?"

"If you want to try it, don't try it here, try it back in the snow house."

"Come on, let's go back inside!"

"Wait... let me see the aurora a little longer... okay, okay, I won't look anymore, I'll go back inside with you, don't pull me, I can walk by myself..."

"Ah... speaking of which, I bought something really nice from Akashi before~" The Soviet Union suddenly remembered: "It allows the Commander to have an in-depth exchange under the aurora's glow right now."

"Is there such a thing?"

Li Wei said he only dared to think about it; unless a house with excellent insulation was built right here, he wouldn't dare gamble on whether his body enhancement would include regeneration.

The Soviet Union had already entered the igloo and was rummaging through the packages they had brought.

Li Wei looked at the giant jelly that was dangling in front of him, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and slapped it hard.

"Hmm~"

The Soviet Union didn't look back, but it shook the jelly more vigorously and with greater force.

Li Wei slammed his hand down again: "Still haven't found it?"

"Commander, don't worry... tap me a few more times... no, wait a few more minutes, I'm sure I can find it."

Li Wei: ...

He used both hands, slapping the jelly around a few times, making it sway and splash like waves on the shore.

"Well……"

The Soviet Union searched for several minutes, until their jelly turned red, before finally finding it: "Commander, this is it."

"This is?"

“A transparent thermal insulation device,” the Soviet Union explained. “Just press this… and it will form a cover with a radius of about ten meters, which can insulate against the external temperature and always maintain the most comfortable temperature for the human body. It works well whether it’s hot or cold.”

"There's such a good thing? Is it reliable?"

After all, it was a product purchased from Akashi, so it's reasonable for Li Wei to have doubts about its quality.

"It's reliable. I've tried it once before. It's expensive but has no downsides. It can even directly change the temperature of the internal objects."

expensive?

If a ship girl says it's expensive, then it's probably really expensive.

How much did it cost?

“Not much.” The Soviet Union gestured with its hand to indicate a number: “This much, plus…”

"So expensive!" Li Wei exclaimed in surprise. "There are extra charges? When we get back, I'll arrest her and torture her until she pays for it all."

"Hmm." The Soviet Union didn't seem to mind: "Compared to that, Commander, now... perhaps... hmm?"

……

Murmansk and other ship girls secretly lurked behind, watching the "two-person date" between the commander and the Soviet Union.

When she suggested to Li Wei that they go together, Li Wei did not explicitly refuse, but he also expressed his reluctance.

Murmansk was also humane enough not to make a forceful demand, but the meeting plan between the Soviet Union and the commander was announced directly in the Northern Union's group chat, causing a stir in the group.

Since we can't participate openly and honestly, we can only resort to sneak attacks when the opportunity arises.

As a result, almost all the Northern Alliance ship girls who could come arrived.

The ship girls watched helplessly as the two first leaned against each other, then their upper parts touched, and a few minutes later, their lower parts also touched.

The ship girls' gazes turned resentful.

Knowing what is about to happen is one thing.

Now that it's actually happening right before my eyes, it's a different story.

"I'm so envious of the Soviet Union..."

"No, I can't take it anymore!"

Kirov looked like he couldn't stand it anymore and was about to step in and get involved.

Kronstadt grabbed her arm: "Didn't we agree? Everyone gets one chance while the Commander is with the Northern Union!"

Kirov had no choice but to stop.

"The Soviet Union is actually on top! She certainly knows how to enjoy herself."

"No, I can't take it anymore!"

This time, it was Chapaev who raised the objection. She was dressed in the same clothes as before, hoping to rely on her previous successful experience.

This time, it was Soviet Belaros who grabbed her.

"hold on."

"We're here to find opportunities, not to steal."

Upon hearing about the Soviet Belaros, the ship girls who had been itching to make a move stopped.

Indeed, nominally speaking, it takes skill to seduce a commander into having in-depth conversations with oneself.

However, it's a bit unnecessary to directly snatch someone away from their date.

"Look, look! She's changed her pose again!"

A group of ship girls were whispering among themselves.

……

Li Wei lay on the snow: "The Soviet Union... I always feel like someone is watching us..."

"Hmph... I know who it is. Commander, don't worry about it. The more we get involved, the better we can fight back."

Chapter 278 Akashi's Operating System

The Soviet Union packed up its belongings with satisfaction.

Li Wei was in trouble.

When he was with the Soviet Union, the ship girls were somewhat more discreet. But when he tried to return to his room alone, he was met with a massive ambush by a large group of Northern Union ship girls, and everything went black.

"and many more……"

"no……"

"I……"

"At least not here..."

……

The next day, Li Wei slept soundly in his room until the afternoon before getting up.

If it weren't for my abilities, I probably wouldn't be able to get any rest right now.

"Commander, are you awake?"

"Um……"

Levi opened his eyes and looked at Belfast: "What time is it?"

"It's already afternoon, Master."

Li Wei got up: "You slept for so long..."

"The owner was tired yesterday, so it's normal for him to rest more today."

Belfast offered to help Levi get dressed, saying, "There's nothing to do today, Master, you can rest as much as you like."

"That's good." Li Wei stretched and suddenly remembered something: "Oh right, call Akashi over here."

"Yes."

……

"Commander, what do you need Akashi for, meow?"

Li Wei pulled out the phone from last night and asked, "Akashi, how much did you pay for this transparent insulation device?"

"Akashi learned that the Soviet Union was going to use it with the Commander, so she gave me a special friendly price, meow~" Akashi confidently stated that she wasn't just not making a profit, she was even selling at a loss: "I only charged the Soviet Union this price, meow~"

The figure Akashi presented was only one-tenth of what the Soviet Union had stated.

Li Wei, too lazy to waste words with the unscrupulous merchant, went straight to hypnosis mode: "How much should it actually cost?"

Akashi quoted an extremely low price.

This price is only half of what she quoted just seconds ago.

In other words, the Soviet Union paid twenty times the price just to make things easier for Li Wei.

Li Wei released Akashi from the hypnosis.

Akashi covered her mouth: "Commander, Akashi... Akashi can explain, meow!"

"No explanation needed." Li Wei said expressionlessly, "You will face your own punishment."

Regardless, a price twenty times is too outrageous. Li Wei can accept Akashi making a little more money, but not this much.

He believed that no ship girl would betray him, but it was also necessary to maintain the proper economic order.

……

Akashi was pinned to the outside of the commander's room, so any ship girls who wanted to attack the commander could see Akashi's miserable treatment.

Akashi was fixed in a "T" shape, with a pre-programmed smart device that forced her to endure "torture" from the device. This allowed her to climb to a position a little distance from the mountain peak, but she was unable to reach the summit and could only free fall from the top.

"Woooo..."

Not only that, but a sign was also placed on top of Akashi.

"I will never be a dishonest businessman again. Please keep an eye on me."

Akashi is now filled with a million regrets.

If she had another chance, she definitely wouldn't ask for twenty times the price...

If she had known she would be punished like this if the commander found out, she should have been fifty times worse...

The price, twenty times higher, resulted in Li Wei stopping her twenty times.
