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

"Woooo..."

Akashi tilted her head back helplessly, a hint of allure appearing in her eyes.

"Akashi, you deserved it..."

Shiranui quietly appeared in front of Akashi.

As Akashi's most important partner, Shiranui understands Akashi better than anyone else.

It's not just that she likes high-profit things, but also her little-known operating system.

For example...

The commander's punishment actually hit Akashi right in her favor. Twenty repetitions did exceed Akashi's usual number, but it wasn't unacceptable.

Looking at her partner's outwardly pained but actually delighted expression, Shiranui was momentarily unsure whether the Commander had stumbled upon Akashi's perfect shot zone by accident, or whether the operating system was providing Akashi with another form of reward after she paid the full fine...

"Woooo..."

Akashi rolled his eyes, speechless.

……

"Master, is that right to Akashi...?"

Belfast looked worried.

Even Belfast was taken aback when Levi first announced the punishment.

Three or five times a day is enough for a ship girl to cry and beg for forgiveness.

Akashi, however, did it a full twenty times...

Even if it's abhorrent, this is still considered torture.

"No problem," Li Wei said nonchalantly. "How do you know that Akashi himself didn't request it?"

Name: Akashi

Identity: Repair ship owner, shareholder in most shops, unscrupulous merchant

Personality: Greedy, likes to pass off inferior goods as superior ones and sell them at high prices.

Number of times: 17

Weaknesses: Coercion, indecisiveness

Status: Enjoying the forced restraint from the commander.

Li Wei was also surprised when he first saw it.

He truly hadn't expected Akashi's operating system to be like this.

"Master, the ship girls are planning a bonfire barbecue. Would you like to attend?"

“I’m not going. I’ll rest today.” Li Wei stretched, looking like he hadn’t had enough sleep. “I also need to take care of some official business… Bring me the data on the Third Port Area.”

“Since it’s time to rest today, let me give Master a massage.” Belfast first handed Levi the documents he needed, then pulled a massage tool from the pocket of her maid outfit: “This will thoroughly relax Master’s tired body~”

"...You'd better really relax."

"I can assure my owner that I am truly relaxed."

"Then come on."

Belfast didn't play word games; she simply massaged Levi's shoulders.

"call……"

Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

He had no doubt about Belfast's massage skills. As long as the head maid had no ill intentions, the relieving effects of a massage were unparalleled.

Belfast's sweet breath wafted sweetly in Levi's ear: "Master, is just a shoulder enough?"

"Hmm...where else would you like?"

"of course……"

Belfast's fingers gently moved down from the shoulder to help relieve the fatigue in Levi's back muscles.

"Your back? Sure."

“Not only that~” Belfast’s fingers continued downwards: “Yesterday…did Master lie down a little too often and for a little too long? I can feel it with just my fingers; Master’s back is very stiff~”

Li Wei: ...

"And this area... is also very stiff..."

"...It was supposed to be a proper massage."

“Of course it’s serious~” Belfast narrowed her beautiful eyes: “For the Commander, this place couldn’t be more serious~”

"The master doesn't want to be forced to lie flat either, does he?"

Li Wei: ...Then you'll have to ask those Northern Alliance ship girls.

Chapter 279 Volga's Motivation

The cruise ship set sail again.

This time, they went to the construction site of the third port of the Northern Union. A large number of ship girls will participate in the port construction. In comparison, Li Wei seems to have nothing to do.

The overall plan for the port had already been finalized, and Li Wei's main task was to provide the necessary support.

When not needed, he is responsible for providing support to the ship girls.

For example... like this now.

"Commander, don't get distracted while you're chatting with them!"

Volga, dissatisfied, popped a biscuit into his mouth: "Or... am I just that unattractive?"

"Sorry, I'm just a little worried about the port construction."

"Commander, if you're really worried, why don't you go and see for yourself? The weather is so nice right now, both the temperature and the weather are the best since construction began on the Third Port. It's all because of your arrival, Commander~"

"Really? I didn't know I had this ability." Li Wei chuckled. "By the way, does Volga like snacks?"

"Mmm." Volga swallowed the biscuit in his mouth. "I not only like eating it, but I also like making it. However... I was told that the taste is a bit strange, so I'm a little disappointed..."

Li Wei was a little curious: "What would Volga do?"

"I only know how to bake the simplest cakes..." Volga said a little embarrassedly, "They're not anything special..."

"Can I have a taste?"

Volga hesitated slightly: "Commander, would you like to try it? Of course, but..."

"Let me try what 'subtle' really means, shall I?" Levi didn't mind; there were more than just one or two ship girls who couldn't cook. In fact, most ship girls couldn't cook, and with the Royal Navy's food being such a benchmark, Levi figured that even if Volga's cooking was terrible, it should still be much better than the Royal Navy's food.

"Okay, shall we go now?"

"Walk."

kitchen.

Besides Volga, other ship girls are also busy.

Long Wu, standing on a stool and holding a large spoon, was preparing lunch for the women who were involved in the port construction.

"commander!"

"Commander, are you hungry? We have some prepared here; please have a taste."

"I came to watch Volga demonstrate his cooking skills." Li Wei patted Long Wu's little head: "Thank you for your hard work, Long Wu."

"It's what Longwu should do, it's not hard work." Longwu was interested in cooking, and he wouldn't feel tired even if he cooked all day: "Volga... what are you planning to make?"

"I'm planning to let the Commander try the cake I made..."

In front of the young chef Longwu, Volga was a little embarrassed: "The comments said the taste was rather subtle, but the Commander insisted on tasting it anyway..."

"Then let me take a look at Volga's cake-making process!" Long Wu's eyes sparkled. "Let me see where the problem lies!"

Volga's eyes lit up: "Great!"

Li Wei glanced at the stove, which was piled high with pots and pans: "Is everything alright with your food?"

"No problem!" Long Wu jumped off the stool. "Most of it is already done! The rest is some soup and broth that the ladies requested... Just keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't dry out~"

In front of Long Wu and the Commander, Volga was slightly nervous. After taking a few deep breaths, Volga gradually calmed down:

Eggs, flour, sugar, corn oil, milk...

After preparing all the ingredients, Volga began making the cake.

The first step was to separate the egg yolks and whites. Volga manually separated the egg yolks and whites completely, cracking them into two bowls. Then, he added a spoonful of sugar, a spoonful of oil, and a portion of flour to the egg yolks, and stirred vigorously.

Volga's movements were skillful and experienced, showing he had done a lot of work and was definitely not a novice.

However, for some reason, it always subconsciously makes people feel that it is not perfect enough.

Li Wei sensed something was wrong, and Long Wu jumped up: "Volga, something's not right here!"

"Huh? What's wrong?" Volga looked up at Long Wu, his hands still moving. "Aren't we supposed to mix it thoroughly?"

"It needs to be stirred evenly, but not too vigorously..." Before Long Wu could finish speaking, he saw that the egg yolks were already a bit too much, and shook his hand weakly: "Stop it..."

"Hmm..." Volga listened to advice and put down the egg yolk mixture before starting to whip the egg whites.

Just as Long Wu had mentioned before, Volga put extra effort into whipping the meringue. Even Li Wei could see, without Long Wu pointing it out, that Volga had whipped the meringue to an excessive foam.

Long Wu: "Ah, this..."

Li Wei: "Let's keep reading, we'll talk about it all at the end."

Long Wu nodded.

Next, the batter and meringue were mixed. Using the same method as before, after mixing thoroughly with vigorous stirring, Volga poured it randomly into the mold and placed it directly into an oven that had not been preheated for baking.

Long Wu had already covered his eyes.

"The cake is done!" Volga hummed a song as he handed the baked cake to...

"...Haha, is it really that bad?"

Long Wu nodded: "...It's not that it's bad, it's just...there's a little problem at every step."

Li Wei: "...It's not that it's bad...it's not that you can make a successful cake with a few problems at every step, and the taste is only slightly off. Volga, you have an extraordinary talent..."

Volga beamed with delight: "I knew it! I definitely have a talent for baking!"

Long Wu calmed himself down a bit: "Volga, if you could fix the details a little, you could definitely make a delicious cake!"

"Let me demonstrate for you how to master the details~"

"Thank you, Longwu!"

"Since Long Wu helped you with his own method, then I'll help you too."

"Oh? Commander can bake cakes too?"

"No," Li Wei said truthfully. After all, with so many maids serving him, there was no need for him to know how. "However, I do have a method that only I can use."

Volga had an exceptional understanding of this and immediately grasped what Livy was trying to do.

"Well……"

Li Wei walked up behind Volga: "Every time you make a mistake, I'll give you a 'hmph,' understand?"

Longwu pouted, "Commander, something's not right..."

"what happened?"

"Why do I feel like it wasn't punishment or supervision, but rather a reward?"

Li Wei thought for a moment and said, "That makes sense."

"Alright then, if Volga can make a perfect cake, I'll reward you with a 'humph,' how about that?"

Volga immediately showed his full enthusiasm: "No problem!"
