Now that things had come to this point, even if San Francisco was slow to grasp the situation, it understood Levi's meaning: "The commander means..."

“What I mean is, I benefited from the rules.” Li Wei quickened the pace of his attack and increased its intensity. “But... it was all your own choice, so it’s no use realizing it now.”

"Well……"

Because of the rules of the simulation device, San Francisco quickly obtained the first ammunition it wanted.

"commander……"

Li Wei had no intention of letting San Francisco off the hook: "However, I'm not without experience that I can share with you."

"Uh-huh?"

“Although I didn’t get to try my hand at gold panning myself, I did watch the whole game,” Li Wei said, attacking Cotton Candy from behind. “If you just want to experience gold panning, I can still give you some small advice.”

"A small suggestion?"

"For example, when panning for gold, you have to always pay attention to your footing. If you keep looking towards the center of the river because you want to find more gold, this will happen—"

"Eek!" San Francisco let out a gasp as if she had accidentally fallen into the water—and indeed, the sensation was quite similar. The girl scrambled to her feet, her small feet already turned pigeon-toed: "Commander, really, you didn't even warn me beforehand..."

“Didn’t I tell you all this beforehand? What do you think I was going to tell you?” Li Wei retaliated against San Francisco’s dissatisfaction with a gesture: “If you don’t pay attention, you can’t learn how to pan for gold properly.”

"Okay... well..."

"Listen carefully now~, the second point is that when panning for gold, don't assume that the heavier the better. You never know what you might pull up. After all, the river doesn't just contain gold dust; it could also be..."

“Hmm…that does make sense.” San Francisco nodded. “I just heard Baltimore and the others say they found all sorts of strange things…”

"To give you a simple example, don't be greedy for heavy weights—the same applies here. Perhaps a lighter touch will allow you to achieve more."

"Well……"

San Francisco sensed a change in the offensive, from the previous series of heavy blows to a rapid and continuous barrage of light attacks. Just as the commander had said, a different style of attack offered a different experience. However, if she had to choose one, she still felt that the powerful, heavy blows suited her better.

"Then comes the third point."

……

Li Wei launched into a long, detailed explanation, shifting his position relative to San Francisco with each point. He relentlessly unleashed his ammunition, repeatedly and forcefully breaching San Francisco's defenses. By the time Li Wei realized what was happening, San Francisco was nearly unconscious, practically on the verge of being disconnected.

It wasn't until Indiana came to call for help that Levi finally let go of San Francisco, which was already "on its last legs".

Indiana set San Francisco aside, a playful look on his face: "The commander has quite the energy."

"Uh... I accidentally went a little too far." Levi readily admitted his mistake: "Indiana, is there something you need from me?"

“It’s nothing urgent that requires the Commander’s help.” Indiana tucked her long hair behind her ear, revealing a touch of feminine charm: “I just wanted to say… the Commander hasn’t yet enjoyed the moonlight in the simulation device, has he? We specially designed a moon and would like to invite the Commander to participate in the moon-viewing party.”

As Indiana pointed to the night sky, Levi noticed that the full moon hung low over the wilderness outside the town, seemingly within reach.

"Yes, it's definitely a view worth holding a moon-viewing party. Did you design this yourselves? It's very picturesque."

“We went through a lot of trouble to create this moon, so it would be great if the Commander liked it.” Indiana stepped forward, using his glove to clean the remaining battle marks from Levi’s main gun. “If the Commander has no problem… how about the two of us enjoy the moon together?”

"of course can."

Levi was about to put on his clothes when Indiana stopped him: "Commander, let's leave it at that. It's just the two of us anyway—there's no need to go through these tedious procedures."

"Commander, just follow me. There's a perfect spot for moon viewing here." Indiana pulled the main gun like a medieval soldier pulling a cannon, moving slowly forward.

Levi followed Indiana to an open space. Indiana quickly tidied up the area and invited the commander to sit down with her. Levi stared intently at Indiana; the silvery moonlight bathed her, making the usually cheerful girl appear more serene and shy.

Indiana cleared his throat, gripping the main gun while looking directly into the commander's eyes: "Commander, I..."

Li Wei keenly noticed the voice behind him: "Hmm?"

Essex appeared out of nowhere: "Hey! Commander, Indiana—! I brought everyone with me! I even brought snacks and drinks! It'll be fun to enjoy the moon together, won't it?"

Indiana immediately concealed Levi's main gun under his clothing: "...I'll tell you another time. Anyway...you can already guess what I'm going to say...cough..."

Indiana's eyes darted around, and his tone carried a subtle hint of guilt.

Levi pressed down on Indiana's head, signaling her to express her feelings through actions. The girl immediately understood and changed her approach, "expressing" her feelings verbally. Levi sighed with satisfaction, then turned to Essex: "Essex, this is the second time... You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?"

Essex was completely baffled.

Chapter 350 The Wine-Pouring Girl's Bet

After punishing Essex, Levi received a message from the corporation. The White Eagle had arranged a script for him at this time, hoping Levi would attend the appointment.

Li Wei readily accepted and went to the tavern at the agreed time. Upon entering, he saw Pittsburgh already seated at the table, waiting. With only Pittsburgh as the only ship girl in the tavern, what was about to happen was self-evident.

The girl, dressed in denim, gently toyed with a revolver in her hand, swayed her legs slightly, and revealed a charming smile.

Pittsburgh saw Levi and his eyes lit up: "Hehe~ You're late, bounty hunter."

Is he playing the role of a bounty hunter this time?

Levi walked up to Pittsburgh and said, "It's okay, we have plenty of time."

Completely different from the style on the train before, it not only saved a lot of money on the fabric, but also made full use of its own characteristics - the huge cotton candy that is a common feature of the Baltimore class, which made Levi always want to stick his eyes to it.

Pittsburgh gently grasped Levi's sleeve and leaned towards him: "While we're waiting, why don't we do something to pass the time?"

A warm breath fell on her neck, and the surrounding air seemed to warm up as well. Perhaps because of the slightly abrupt movement, Levi saw the mark peeking out from the edge of her clothes, seemingly asserting her presence. Pittsburgh, however, was clearly unaware of the problem, and the girl took another step forward:

"Why are you so quiet, bounty hunter? Don't you know what to do?"

Pittsburgh pressed the muzzle of his prop gun against Levi's chest, gently rubbing my coat down. He then carefully removed his already flimsy little boots, and the milk-clad jailer leaned against Levi's calf, seemingly speaking through the thin fabric.

"Gu..."

Levi has already answered Pittsburgh's previous question fully with his actions.

Pittsburgh beamed, simultaneously advancing progress in both directions: "Hmm~ then let me teach you a way to relieve boredom~"

A faint blush graced her cheeks, and her eyes brimmed with barely concealed emotion. A pair of jailers had already pinpointed the commander's main cannon, gently warming the fabric covering it with their heat: "Hehe~ Your heart is beating fast, isn't it? Is it because the window is open, and other companions are passing by outside… making you feel it even more?"

“Pittsburgh…” Levi glanced outside but didn’t see any other ship girls. It seemed that Pittsburgh was just teasing him.

"Hmm? I'm listening. What do you want to do to me? I can do anything you want!"

Levi grabbed the prop gun in Pittsburgh's hand, stopping her from sliding down.

The girl, her voice slightly nasal, complained, "We're rehearsing right now! Rehearsing! Get into character, Commander~"

"So we're actually rehearsing right now? I wouldn't have known if you hadn't told me," Li Wei retorted. "...I think you're already drunk."

"I'm not drunk, really~" She pulled hard backward, trying to snatch the prop gun from Li Wei's hand. In the struggle, the wooden bucket at her feet overturned, spilling a small amount of orange liquid, and the scent of oranges filled the room.

Li Wei had thought it was alcohol, but it turned out to be a beverage: "Is this orange juice in the wooden barrel...?"

Pittsburgh grinned slyly. "Hehe~ It's so hot, I couldn't resist having a few extra sips during the break... Anyway, we're still rehearsing~ Commander, would you like some orange juice to quench your thirst? Hmm... have I already finished it all?"

She made a move to check the barrel, but the next moment she swayed and leaned against Li Wei, her hands fidgeting as she and her jailer simultaneously controlled the commander's main cannon. The heat emanating from the cannon's muzzle made her slightly unsure whether it was her own body temperature or the commander's.

"It's a bit of a shame not to taste this sweet and fresh orange juice. Perhaps the sweetness of the orange still lingers on my lips... Want to try some?"

Li Wei kissed Pittsburgh, tasting the sweetness of the orange juice on her lips, and suddenly thought of an interesting development: "I think we should find a place to rest first. You can't rehearse in this condition."

If things were to continue this way, they would definitely have a deeper conversation in the pub, but Levi wanted to see what Pittsburgh would do if he kept playing dumb.

"Hmm? Rest? Where are we going to rest? Is it the kind of rest I'm thinking of?" Pittsburgh answered with four questions, her hands never stopping. She knew the Commander couldn't endure it in the simulation and wanted to use her actions to make him hand over a round immediately: "Hmm~? Bounty Hunter... Commander... why is your body so hot...?"

“Wait a minute…” Levi pressed down on Pittsburgh’s hand: “At least in your room, you wouldn’t want other ship girls to see you while you’re resting in the tavern, would you?”

Pittsburgh fell for it: "There are rooms upstairs, but... it would be too boring to just go back and rest and sleep. I'm not going~ unless..."

Li Wei continued to feign ignorance: "Unless what?"

Pittsburgh looked up at Levi, his crimson pupils seemingly not only filled with drunkenness, but also with an understanding that he had seen through Levi's thoughts.

The girl put her finger to her lips, her eyes glistening with moisture: "Unless... you stay in my room with me and we do something fun together~"

“How am I supposed to know if you don’t tell me what’s so interesting?” Levi picked up Pittsburgh in a princess carry, as if he was about to head straight to her room to rest. “I see you’ve had quite a bit to drink, you should get some rest.”

"Hmm!" Pittsburgh wrapped his arms around the commander's neck, no longer caring about the script: "I'll talk, I'll talk! Commander, I want to have a deeper conversation with you..."

"Just a deeper conversation?" Levi continued walking with Pittsburgh into the room without stopping. "I think you want more than just a deeper conversation, don't you?"

Pittsburgh gave Levi a quick kiss, her boots, which had somehow fallen off and traced a graceful arc in the air, said, "Commander, you know perfectly well..."

Levi hugged Pittsburgh a little tighter. It has to be said that Pittsburgh's marshmallow was indeed a bit of a hindrance in this position: "I just want to hear you say it."

Pittsburgh, biting Levi's ear, unleashed her full power, blurting out every word she knew: "Commander, I want to be with you..."

Li Wei ultimately couldn't hold on until he entered the room.

Chapter 351 Indiana Says He's Not Stupid

Today, Levi learned his lesson and, before entering the simulation device, took a picture of Indiana with detailed information.

Name: Indiana

Role: Chief Director of the Simulated Western Town Vacation Project

Personality: Outgoing

Number of times: 19

Weaknesses: The marshmallow-like feeling after exercise, and the mouth.

Status: Wants to present the movie scene she has envisioned to the commander.

Last time: with the Commander in the hotel of the simulation device.

Unlike those perverted Sakura Empire ship girls, Indiana isn't usually such a pervert—perhaps that's a bit ambiguous, but Indiana is probably the kind of ship girl in the port who has more hobbies and interests than anyone else. This is evident from the number of times she does so.

She certainly doesn't mind being affectionate with the commander, but she also wants to show the commander the results of her work.

"Commander, we've prepared a fantastic movie scene for you this time!" Indiana gave a thumbs up: "It's really great! The Commander will definitely love it!"

"Okay, then I'll look forward to it."

"...This is the movie scene you were talking about?"

The broken room was littered with scattered planks, props, and other items. Indiana, dressed in a unique outfit, sat atop a wooden crate, a proud look on his face: "How about it, Commander? Pretty cool, right? That 'falling punch' move was inspired by a movie from the Eastern Empire!"

Li Wei replied blankly, "Yeah, he really is handsome."

He thought Indiana would put on a romance film for him, or at least an action movie, but it turned out to be a crime film—yes, a crime film with martial arts action. The entire plot focused on solving the case, until finally, this exhilarating fight scene.

"Commander, I knew you'd like it!"

"Hmm..." Levi was embarrassed to say that what he liked about the Indiana movie wasn't the plot, but rather the clothes she was wearing. The Indiana's long dress had no fabric on the inside, completely exposing the healthy-looking hull, giving Levi a feast for the eyes.

Indiana noticed Levi's gaze: "...Commander, what are you looking at?"

Levi: "Indiana, who designed this outfit for you...?"

"Oh? What's wrong? Is there something amiss?"

"Hmm... there's nothing wrong with it, it's just that the style is a bit novel, I've never seen this style before." Levi looked at the fabric distribution in Indiana's reverse bunny girl style: "Was this Indiana's own choice?"

Since it's a simulation device, the ship girls should be able to choose their own outfits.

Indiana stood up and showed it off to Levi: "That's right, it's the design I chose myself—inspired by the bunny girls in the port area, but... I felt a little strange wearing a bunny girl, so I made some minor modifications."

It really is a bunny girl!

"How's it going, Commander?"

"Hmm, not bad, very creative." Li Wei boldly asked, "Could you explain a little? Why did you choose to cut out the opening here? Usually, you would choose the outside, right?"

“Oh… so this is what the Commander is interested in. I was wondering why I kept feeling the Commander’s gaze here. At first, I thought he was looking at the core compartment, but it turns out he’s interested in the paint scheme around here.” Indiana parted the stern to make it easier for Levi to admire the view: “Commander, look, without the constraints of the fabric here, I can perform more difficult martial arts moves.”

Indiana demonstrated a few moves on the spot: "Like... like this, hey!"

"For example, I can also do this... Ha!"

"hiss--"

Even in simulated scenarios, certain physical laws must be followed. Indiana's somewhat whimsical costume structure clearly follows this principle well, performing a "split" in front of Levi.

Li Wei: ...

Indiana: ...

"...Well, I was planning to show it to the Commander anyway. Since it's already like this, I won't hold back."

"No, wait, Indiana, you..."

"I'll be honest with the Commander," Indiana said, already preparing to get on the rocking horse. "Those were just excuses I made up before. I'm sure the Commander already figured out the real purpose of this outfit, right?"
