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

Li Wei pressed his advantage: "Hurry up and tell me, or I'll assume there were no conditions attached if you don't tell me for too long, okay?"

After all, she was just a researcher, and even as a proposed ship girl, her stamina in negotiations couldn't compare to those seasoned veterans. Chekalov only considered it for a moment before Levi took the opportunity to slip her in again.

"I……"

Chkalov tried to struggle, but Livy launched a physical attack, kissing Chkalov's lips, leaving her speechless except for stammering.

Li Wei looked at the girl in his arms: "Payment has been completed three times already, and there are no additional conditions, okay?"

...Chkalov was ultimately unable to propose his own additional conditions.

Chapter 285 Methods of Establishing One's Authority

Livy and Chkalov were not the only two people in the hot spring area.

This is a continuous hot spring area, not just one spring. There are other areas where ship girls are also enjoying the comfort of the hot springs.

As Li Wei passed by another hot spring, he saw Wei Yan slumped in a chair.

The girl looked like she had been steamed alive, prompting Li Wei to ask her if she was alright.

"It's fine, it's just... um... a little hot..." Wei Yan struggled to get up: "Commander, is there any water...?"

“If you mean drinking water, I’ll have to get it for you.” Li Wei looked at Wei Yan’s flushed little face. “If you mean hot spring water… there’s plenty here.”

Weiyan opened her rosy lips: "I need some water..."

Li Wei searched for water nearby.

"If there's no water... borscht will do..."

Li Wei was both amused and exasperated: "Who uses that stuff to replace water? I'll go out and find some for you."

“No need…” Wei Yan pointed to the soup on the table: “Borscht will do. To Wei Yan, borscht is just water… or even better.”

Since Wei Yan had said so, Li Wei handed the borscht to him. The little girl seemed to be quite weak from the sauna, and she didn't hold it properly, spilling the borscht on the ground.

Li Wei: ...

"Oops, I spilled the borscht..."

"I'll go get you some water."

Li Wei brought over two buckets of water: one was purified water for drinking, and the other was ordinary hot spring water for rinsing the floor.

Wei Yan immediately hugged the bucket and started gulping down the water. Li Wei looked at Wei Yan's figure, which wasn't much bigger than the bucket, and had a look of both laughter and tears on his face.

"Slow down, no one's going to take it from you."

Majesty: "Glug glug... It's alive... Give it some water, give it some water..."

"Aha……"

The little girl finally regained some of her senses: "Commander, how did you end up here?"

Li Wei: "I was just working with Chkalov on her patent."

Wei Yan patted the side of him: "Commander, are you coming too? You can sit next to me. There's some delicious borscht and cocoa here... Ah, sorry, the borscht spilled, and the cocoa is all gone... Hey, Wei Yan, go get some more borscht and cocoa."

Li Wei stepped into the room where Wei Yan was, only to find that it was a sauna. No wonder Wei Yan said it was a bit hot.

When Weiyan saw the commander enter, she beamed with joy and walked straight out of the room on her bare feet, not caring at all that her bath towel had fallen to the ground, revealing a cute little jelly.

"Commander, wait a moment, I'll be right back!"

"How careless..."

Li Wei leaned against the window, looking at the snow outside: "I didn't expect there to be a dedicated sauna room. It's a world of difference from the outside environment..."

In just over ten seconds, Wei Yan came running back with borscht and cocoa: "Commander, come on~, mmm..."

Wei Yan brought the borscht and cocoa into the house. Even though they had been in the sauna for a while, he still let out a gasp when he came in again.

"This was made by Aurora before, it was delicious~"

Li Wei reached out and patted the little girl's head: "Does Wei Yan really like these two things?"

"Mmm!" Wei Yan brought a cup of cocoa to Li Wei's mouth: "Commander, you should try some too, it's really great!"

"Okay, I'll try it... Hmm, it's really good."

Hearing Li Wei's praise, Wei Yan broke into a bright smile. The girl also picked up a cup of hot cocoa: "Glug glug... the more I drink, the hotter I feel... Hmm. Because I'm drinking hot cocoa, that's why I feel hot..."

"The way he exudes authority... is truly peculiar. It's completely different from how others experience a sauna."

His imposing manner softened slightly: "It's different from taking a sauna? Is that so... How does the Commander usually do it?"

"Usually?" Li Wei recalled, "I don't think I often go to saunas. I usually just stay in there for a little while."

"Then?"

"And then? Then I'll take a cold shower."

Even Wei Yan looked on with curiosity: "A cold shower?"

"Yes, haven't you tried to project authority?"

"No……"

"Working up a sweat and then taking a cold shower feels great."

"I'm all sweaty..." Wei Yan suddenly noticed something: "Huh, where's Wei Yan's towel?...Never mind, it's not important, Commander. Let's all be honest with each other, otherwise only the other person will lose their towel. How cunning..."

Li Wei: ...

Did you drop it?

I don't think you're planning to use it properly!

"Besides, Commander, you can't really sweat properly like this, can you?" Majesty had already climbed onto Li Wei's knees: "Since Commander says he wants to sweat, then he should do some exercise that makes him sweat, right?"

"...You can sweat even just sitting like this."

"That's the Commander!" Weiyan was already taking matters into her own hands, saying, "We're ship girls, we can't break a sweat just like that. Come on, come on~"

Li Wei had no choice but to give in to the little girl and let her start her sweating workout.

"commander?"

"You want to sweat it out? Then of course you have to exercise." Li Wei put his hands behind his head, showing no intention of taking the initiative: "If you just lie there without moving, you won't sweat, right?"

"Well……"

Wei Yan never expected that the excuse he made up on the spur of the moment would turn into a boomerang, so he could only pout and start exercising on his own.

"Our Northern Union comrades aren't afraid of the cold, but they are afraid of the heat. There's nothing we can do about it... Commander, are you more afraid of the heat or the cold?"

"Me?" Li Wei straightened his posture, "I can't say whether I'm afraid of the cold or the heat, maybe neither? If I had to pick a weaker one, I'd say I'm a little afraid of the heat?"

"Are you afraid of the heat? Okay, Commander, you're just like your comrades in the Northern Alliance. Then Commander, don't go back to the home port. Everyone's here, so it's cool even in summer~"

“Even in the home port, it’s cool in the summer.” Levi pinched the tip of Weiyan’s nose. The little girl’s movements were not fast; compared to Chekalov’s previous task completion, Weiyan’s speed was more like enjoying himself: “As long as you don’t stay in the sun for a long time, you don’t have to worry about the temperature.”

"That's it..."

"It seems like it's been a while since Majesty last visited the home port. Let's go visit the Commander at the home port this summer!"

"Welcome." Li Wei straightened his posture again: "The home port welcomes you anytime. You can come whenever you want. Anyway, it won't even take you a week to get here... It'll save you more effort if you bring a few more ship girls with you."

"Okay... um..."

Wei Yan used the main gun to stabilize himself: "Commander, you don't need to help me, this will work."

Chapter 286 Kronstadt Wants to Be Attacked by Police

When Li Wei saw the simulation device in the room, his expression momentarily dazed.

"This is……"

"That's right, it's a simulation device?"

"Why did you bring this over as well?"

"We wanted to give the Commander a surprise!" Memphis stood next to Levi. "We originally planned to give the Commander a surprise on the way back, but now that the Commander seems a bit idle, we brought him here."

What does it mean to be idle?

Every day, the number of ship girls trying to squeeze money out of me could stretch from the cabin door of the cruise ship all the way to land!

Just figuring out how to deal with the ship girls every day is exhausting enough!

"Really? But I think the Commander is enjoying it, isn't he?"

Li Wei: ...

you're right.

"In conclusion, the ship girl candidates for this season have been selected. Commander, please begin your experience."

"So fast? No need for any adjustments or anything?"

“It’s been set up and tested since the first day we set off.” Memphis helped Levi into the simulator. “Commander, just enjoy it.”

"Wait, you still haven't told me who it is..."

Memphis closed the simulator's door, shutting out Levi's voice as well.

……

"Stop the car! Inspect!"

Li Wei's vision blurred for a moment, and when the scene stabilized, he realized that he was sitting in a sports car, which had been stopped by Kronstadt.

"Commander! Come out for inspection!"

Seeing Kronstadt in her policewoman uniform, Levi instinctively got out of the car obediently.

"Commander, you are involved in speeding, dangerous driving, and other offenses. I request a search of you!"

"Hands behind your head! Press your face against the car door!"

Li Wei obediently did as instructed.

Kronstadt squinted her beautiful eyes, walked up behind Li Wei in her high heels, and began searching him from top to bottom.

Although he couldn't see what was behind him, Li Wei could sense that the policewoman behind him seemed a little dishonest: "Kronstadt..."

Kronstadt snapped softly, "Call me officer!"

Li Wei cooperated honestly: "Officer, there's nothing here, there's no need to..."

Kronstadt interrupted Li Wei again: "You think you can just say you don't? Do you know how many dangerous individuals like to hide weapons in their chests? I only pinched it a couple of times and you can't handle it? I think you're the one with something going on!"

Li Wei dared not utter a sound.

Kronstadt continued his search with satisfaction, and only a few minutes later did he move on to the next section with even greater satisfaction.

"here……"

"Why are your abdominal muscles so stiff? Are you hiding something?"

Li Wei: ...

No, you've started examining my abs right away, what else could be inside those muscles?

It was less of an examination and more of a massage. Thanks to Kronstadt's efforts, Livy's abdominal muscles gradually relaxed, and his whole body became less tense.

"I'm telling you, I'm going to check the most important part next. You're not allowed to hide anything or resist at all, understand?"

To facilitate the search, Kronstadt lay completely beneath Levi. Even so, her enormous breasts significantly hampered her movements. After several attempts, the policewoman had to crouch behind Levi to begin the search.

"Well……"

Li Wei lay on his arm, enduring Kronstadt's examination.

Kronstadt spoke as he searched, but unfortunately, the voice coming from behind and below him was intermittent, and Li Wei couldn't hear it clearly.

"Generally speaking, this is the most dangerous place. There's plenty of space here, whether it's hiding a murder weapon or a knife... (So hard!) What is this thing! Take it out!"

Li Wei was on the verge of tears: "Officer, this... I can't get this out!"

"You think you can just say you can't take it out and then you can't?" Kronstadt's portrayal of the spoiled policewoman was exceptionally vivid: "Since you don't want to cooperate, then don't blame me!"

Li Wei gritted his teeth: "Fine, I'll take it!"
