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

The head maid and the leader of the Northern Union, who had been left unattended for so long, surrendered in an instant.

Never before had the Soviet Union so sincerely admitted its mistakes: "Master, I was wrong!"

Belfast followed suit, saying, "Master, please don't punish us like this!"

Li Weiquan pretended not to hear and continued his in-depth conversation with Volga behind the door.

"Woooooooo..."

Chapter 301 Fierce Wants to Talk About Ideals... But Not Like That!

On the last day of March, Li Wei, amidst the anticipation of the ship girls, entered the simulation device.

Back in the underground passage, Xiongmeng led Li Wei straight to their target. After climbing up the ladder and taking an elevator, Li Wei found himself following Xiongmeng to an abandoned arcade.

The walls were covered with all sorts of strange graffiti, and the dust on the ground suggested that no one had come to this arcade. Li Wei took a look around the arcade and found it somewhat familiar.

...It seems to be the arcade on your own ship. Fierce, do you really like that arcade that much?

"Phew... After hiding for so long, I'm finally back!"

She performed a series of relaxation exercises, showing a remarkable familiarity with this abandoned arcade. She approached a claw machine that appeared to be functioning reasonably well, casually pulled a coin from her pocket, and began trying to win.

"Commander, please make yourself at home." Fierce didn't even look at Li Wei: "Drinks are at the front desk, and snacks are in the refrigerator. Help yourself to whatever you want to eat or drink."

Li Wei grabbed two bottles of soda from the front desk, walked up behind the fierce woman, and discovered that her ability to operate the claw machine was absolutely terrible; she had failed miserably several times.

"hateful……"

She slammed her fist on the claw machine with a fierce thud, seemingly a little annoyed. She reached into her pocket, but her movement froze; the pocket, once filled with game tokens, was now empty.

Li Wei wanted to remind Xiong Meng that they were in a simulated scenario where they could conjure up as many game coins as they wanted—even the plush toys from the claw machine—but Xiong Meng had already prepared his reasons and excuses.

"...Hmm, is it because I've been too busy lately and can't concentrate?"

"I was going to ask you if you wanted to try it, but now I don't have to."

Li Wei said it wasn't necessary. There are plenty of people who want life-sized plush toys; there's no need to obsess over this claw machine.

He shrugged fiercely and leaned against the cabinet next to the claw machine, which was covered in graffiti.

"Speaking of which, you seem to really like graffiti?" Li Wei asked, as if he were seeing Xiong Meng for the first time. "I don't recall ever hearing that before..."

“Yes, I like graffiti.” Xiong Meng frankly admitted directly: “I even gave myself a stage name, ‘Artist,’ using the city as a canvas and splashing new rules with ‘art’. That is the meaning of my existence.”

"Including the graffiti here, are those also considered your 'rules'?"

Fierce seemed quite pleased, probably because she was happy to be able to share her ideas: "Aha, that's right! To put it more bluntly, I am the 'rule' here."

"But rules must be followed. Even though this is my territory, I can take the prize by force as I please."

At this point, Xiongmeng casually found a table and hopped onto it: "But I still choose to respect the rules of these game consoles, otherwise it would be too boring, wouldn't it?"

Li Wei nodded in understanding.

Indeed, if you unleash too much cheating at once, to the point of breaking the rules, it becomes less fun. Sometimes, setting limits for yourself makes success feel more rewarding.

He leaped off the table and walked to the window: "This is where I live, and I love this city as much as I love myself."

"Ultimately, I just hate those rotten scum who turn cities into sewers while calling themselves noble..."

Li Wei indicated that a ship girl had been shot.

It doesn't matter, since it's just role-playing and simulation in a simulation device. As for whether there will be any disputes after we go out—last time there was even a firefight, this time it'll just be a few words, so it should be fine.

Li Wei walked up behind the fierce-looking girl and picked her up from behind. Despite calling out the fierce name, the petite little girl was not fierce at all.

"……commander?"

“Speaking of which, you mentioned it last time, right? I owe you one.” Li Wei lifted the fierce woman high in his arms, letting her short legs, one clad in black stockings and the other in bubble socks, flutter in the air: “It’s not my style to not pay back debts. Now that I have the chance, it’s better to pay it back directly.”

"Well……"

Hearing Li Wei say this, Fierce gave up his struggle and obediently let Li Wei lift him up from behind, making a shameful gesture: "Commander, I'm not a child, this pose is too..."

"Make the obstruction disappear yourself, okay?" Li Wei ignored the fierce words and parted the stern of the fierce ship, revealing the core compartment covered only by a thin layer of cloth. Although the fierce ship did not respond verbally, it was quick to act. The already narrow piece of cloth completely disappeared under the fierce ship's movements, leaving its core compartment wide open.

"Speaking of which, having a deep conversation while looking down at the scenery from a window like this is a wonderful feeling, isn't it?"

"I..." Fiercely covered his eyes with his hands: "Commander, I never expected you to be so bold..."

"Is that bold? There are plenty of bolder things to do." Li Wei didn't care. He used the main gun barrel to brace himself against the inside of the core compartment, giving the ferocious beast three points of support so that it wouldn't sway and fall down: "If you dare to make the windows disappear too, I dare to take another step forward."

Fiercely, his whole body trembled.

Just being by the window is dizzying enough, but to make the window disappear... Fierce said he really couldn't even imagine it. Even in a simulation, Fierce couldn't do something so crazy.

The ship girls outside the simulation device seemed thoughtful, thinking they could try it later.

……

"This time, I'm back!"

"Hmm..." Fierce Fierce Fist was completely weak: "Commander, carry me to the sofa..."

"What are you going to do on the sofa? You can't see anything from there. The view from the window is much better. Besides, look, this window is amazing; it changes color by itself!"

“…Ugh…” With a fierce flick of his wrist, he wiped away the translucent water stains on the window: “Hurry up and get on the sofa, I hear someone coming…”

"Is it finally here?" Li Wei carried Xiong Meng back to the center of the room. Xiong Meng stood up from Li Wei's arms and transformed in a second, his clothes, which had been ruined during their intimate conversation, instantly returning to their original state: "Someone is eavesdropping on us... um... talking."

A voice came from the doorway: "Oh dear, we've been spotted!"

He glared fiercely at the doorway: "...Come out, stop playing tricks!"

Amidst fierce shouts, the dusty exit creaked open. Slowly stepping into the arcade was a detective-looking girl with a piece of bread dangling from her mouth.

Chapter 302 Ferocity: It Must Be Because of the Socks

Good evening, both of you.

Volga stepped out from behind the door. "Don't be nervous. As you can see, I, Volga, am just a private detective."

The girl was dressed in what looked like a private detective's outfit, with a baseball cap on her head and a brown short dress on her upper body. The cotton candy part on her chest was deliberately highlighted with white parts, making it particularly eye-catching in the field of vision.

His fierce lips pursed, whether because Volga's emphasis overshadowed his own or for some other reason, he said, "Aren't you showing up a little early?"

Volga ignored the fierce complaints: "Besides, I agree with you. I also think that the old order of this city needs to be changed."

Hearing Volga say that, his fierce temper subsided a little, but a hint of envy still unconsciously showed in his eyes.

She glanced down.

The commander seems to really like this place; he's been putting in a lot of effort up there. But if I were that big... wouldn't it look a bit out of place?

Volga then turned to Livy: "The legend of the city that never sleeps—I've finally found you."

"You came here specifically to see me?"

Volga chuckled: "No need to be surprised. Your reputation in this city is far greater than you think."

Perhaps it was because he had been "nourished" the night before, but Li Wei felt that Volga's gaze towards him held a tender affection.

"Whether as a legendary commander of the law enforcement forces or as a 'commander' who fought for justice in the lower city, your mark is already etched in the history of this city."

The rather outgoing private investigator finally swallowed the bread in his mouth and adopted a serious demeanor.

“...I have brought an invitation, Commander.”

“My client is willing to send you to the ‘Sky Tower’—all you need to do is meet her.”

Li Wei: "I have no choice but to agree, right?"

Volga chuckled: "That's your own interpretation, I'll take it as your agreement."

"What can I do if I disagree? I can't refuse."

“It seems my client’s judgment was correct. This is the only reason you won’t refuse.” Volga turned around: “In that case, come with me. I’ll take you to meet the contact.”

Li Wei followed behind Volga, watching the girl's voluptuous figure appear and disappear in her skirt. He couldn't help but take a few steps forward and give Volga's jelly a hard pat.

"Yeah!"

Volga exclaimed in surprise, turning to glare at Levi: "Commander, we just left the room... We had a deep conversation with Fierce before, and now you can't help yourself again?"

Li Wei pulled Volga into his arms and kissed her earlobe: "Last night you were even more unable to hold back than I was. Who was barking at the door, making Belfast and the Soviet Union howl like ghosts?"

At the mention of last night's events, Volga blushed deeply and immediately softened: "Really... I'm a private investigator now, not the commander's... what..."

Li Wei had no intention of letting Volga go. He lifted Volga's chin and kissed her lips. The familiar touch made them feel as if they were back in the absurdity of the previous night: "What is mine?"

Volga's eyes were glazed over, and she unconsciously continued yesterday's topic: "The Commander's little puppy..."

"Hmm." Li Wei gently pushed Volga against the wall: "Do you want Fierce to be like yesterday's Soviet alliance?"

“Commander…” Volga had already begun to actively seek a kiss: “I don’t care about being fierce, I only care about the Commander…”

“If Fierce heard this, he would probably be heartbroken, wouldn’t he?” Levi forcefully tore open the conspicuous white fabric covering Volga’s upper body, exposing a pair of enormous cotton candy-like figures to the air. “You probably didn’t notice, did you? That child stared at your cotton candy-like figures for a long time when you appeared.”

"Is...is that so..." Volga pulled Levi into his arms: "What about the Commander? Did the Commander see it?"

As if reviewing some technique on this marshmallow, Li Wei used the method that had elicited the strongest reaction from Volga last night, applying force repeatedly: "Of course, I not only looked at it, but I also pinched it."

"Hmm..." Volga rolled her eyes at Levi, but then obediently brought her cotton candy to Levi's lips: "The Commander's next words should be: 'Not only did you pinch it, you also tasted it,' right?"

Li Wei put the symbol in his mouth and savored it carefully: "Volga really knows me."

"Commander, no matter how hard you try, you won't get the drink you want..."

"Really? Then it seems I'll have to try my best to get Volga pregnant, so I'll have something to drink, right?"

"Well……"

……

He sat fiercely in front of the claw machine, looking utterly displeased.

"Hmph, that cow... all she knows is how to seduce the commander with that..."

A rabbit plush toy fell from the claw of the claw machine, but it couldn't be successfully grabbed.

Muttering fiercely, he casually conjured up a game coin and tossed it in again: "The Commander is really something, of all things to like, why does he have to like that cotton candy so much..."

This time she targeted the rabbit doll again, and failed once more.

"Damn it, I was so close... Isn't everyone saying the Commander has a foot fetish? But I didn't notice anything... Could it be because of the socks?"

He conjured up a bunch of game coins and tossed them into the game, seemingly forgetting his earlier promise to follow the rules.

"Yes, that's right, it must be the socks, definitely not me... I must ask the Commander what kind of socks he likes next time... Oh well, maybe I'll just step on them next time..."

……

Volga gripped the railing, feeling as if she could fall at any moment, even though her feet were firmly planted on solid ground: "Commander, I'm already..."

Li Wei buried himself in his work: "But that's not what your other mouth says, is it?"

"I... I can't speak with my other mouth either... Commander, really..."

"Although they can't speak, their feelings have been truly conveyed."

"Well……"

A cool, aloof figure appeared at the end of the corridor: "Tsk, no wonder you haven't come to meet me for so long. So even our detective can steal from his own workplace?"

Volga seemed not to hear him, but Levi turned to look at the newcomer: "Oh, it's Kiev. Want to come along?"

Kiev glanced at Volga: "No, at least... not now."

Volga had reached the final stage: "Hoo..."

Li Wei turned his attention back to Volga: "Then I'll trouble you to wait a little longer."

Chapter 303 The Queen's Game in Poltava

Strictly speaking, Volga did not complete his mission.

Her script involved taking Li Wei to Kyiv.

But in reality, Kyiv waited too long and came looking for itself.

Now it's Kyiv's turn to lead Livi to their new destination.
