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

Status: Wants to have a deeper conversation with the Commander in the pool.

Last time it was defeated: I comforted myself by thinking of the commander last night and this morning.

Chapter 356 Frederick the Great's Swimsuit

After dinner, as if by telepathy, Li Wei returned to the swimming pool.

Logically, there shouldn't be any more ship girls here, especially since it's a sunny month and a relatively secluded place. Levi and her companion hadn't seen any other ship girls arrive all afternoon, Levi thought to herself...

Unlike the afternoon heat, the pool at night was cool and tranquil, far removed from the lights. A few meters away, lights reflected a hazy glow on the water's surface. Li Wei glanced over and saw a figure lying on the water's surface.

"My child, is this what they call fate that we met at this moment?"

Frederick the Great smiled charmingly as he lay down on the different inflatable bed he had previously used with Banvi. The inflatable bed Frederick was using looked larger, more comfortable, and better suited for two people to share it.

Frederick the Great wore a captivating swimsuit, the white fabric reflecting a hazy, alluring light under the lamplight—a light so subtle it would be almost invisible during the day; his lower body was covered by a towel, practically meaning he was going commando—the mature woman's intentions were "obvious."

Frederick the Great's lips curled into a slight smile: "Or perhaps, you came here simply to see me?"

"Would you believe me if I said it was a tacit understanding?" Li Wei took the initiative to get into the water and walked towards Frederick the Great: "Frederick is still here so late, this is not the time for swimming—is something the matter?"

Frederick the Great lay on the inflatable bed, gently splashing the pool water in Levi's direction. His upper body was partially revealed by the movement, drawing Levi's gaze: "Of course I believe it. The unspoken understanding between father and child is... a telepathic connection."

Li Wei sat on the inflatable bed: "Then I'll keep Frederick the Great company."

"Hmm~" Frederick the Great leaned back, making room for him: "Come on, my child, have some cherries and a drink, relax."

She swirled the wine-red liquid in her glass, her face flushed, her golden eyes filled with a moist smile. A nimble jailer picked up a plump cherry, about to feed it to Li Wei.

Li Wei ate it and tasted the flavor emanating from Frederick the Great: "This flavor..."

"How is it? How does it taste?"

"Hmm, it has a very Frederick the Great feel to it."

"Does it smell like me?" Frederick the Great seemed to understand something: "Hehe, what a naughty child~, does the child like this smell?"

Li Wei picked up a cherry and ate it in the same way, but this time it was his initiative. He rubbed it against Frederick the Great's jailer and said, "Of course I like it."

Frederick the Great handed his wine glass to Levi: "Then try this one. The alcohol content isn't high, and it's been specially mixed by me. If you liked the cherry wine before, you'll definitely like this one too!"

Frederick the Great handed Livy a goblet with a distinct light-colored lip print on it.

Li Wei took the wine glass and took a sip without any hesitation, even with the lip print still visible.

The flavor of Frederick the Great is even richer, not just from the lip print on the glass, but also from a deeper level—it's like kissing Frederick the Great, an irresistible taste.

Frederick the Great smiled with satisfaction: "Perhaps there's a more direct way to satisfy your desires, hehe..."

Frederick the Great shifted his position, the semi-transparent black veil swaying beneath him, partially concealing his fair skin. The mature woman was unleashing her full power, displaying all her advantages without a doubt. The light veil that had been draped over the ship had vanished at some point, revealing the emperor's swimsuit.

Li Wei stared in disbelief.

Frederick the Great chuckled: "Why are you looking at me like that? Do you want some cherries?"

"Is this the cherry I'm referring to?"

"Hehe, as long as the child likes it, whether it's this cherry or that cherry, I'll provide it unconditionally." Frederick the Great smiled charmingly, offering the cotton candy to Levi. "If the child's favorite is this cherry, then... now is the perfect time to enjoy it~ Look, they're all fully ripe. If we don't pick them soon, it'll be too late~"

Li Wei decisively took the cherry in his mouth, accepting the gift from Frederick the Great. Just as the older sister had said, the cherries were perfectly ripe now; any earlier and they wouldn't be at their sweetest; any later and they would be overripe.

"Well……"

It was indeed very fragrant.

Just as Li Wei was about to speak, Frederick the Great stepped forward and once again offered a bright red cherry to Li Wei's lips.

This time it's real cherries, not the general kind, nor Frederick the Great's own concoction, just the original cherries.

"It's very sweet and pitless, give it a try."

Li Wei opened his mouth and ate the cherry; the sweet aroma still lingered in his mouth. This was different from the cherries he had tasted before. He could taste the sweetness of cherries even on their own, but previously he could only taste the flavor of Frederick the Great. The flavor and affection from the mature woman could even overpower the sweetness of the cherry.

"Be careful tonight, the night air is chilly," Li Wei said as he took Frederick the Great's towel.

"Now that you mention it, I do feel a bit chilly." Frederick the Great hugged the commander. "You child... you keep telling me to watch out for the cool breeze, but then you take away my last bit of defense. How am I supposed to withstand the cool breeze now? Or... is teasing me just a child's pastime?"

Frederick the Great did not repaint the paint, but instead patted the area on his body, his intentions clear.

"I've come up with a completely new way to generate heat faster than a bath towel." Li Wei said with a righteous expression, parting the stern to explore the core compartment: "That is... as long as you engage in vigorous exercise, you will generate heat very quickly, right?"

Frederick the Great paid no heed to Livy's "nonsense," and simply smiled gently: "In that case, child, come and lie down beside me, and share the warmth of my skin."

The bright moon shines in the night sky, and the pond water ripples with enchanting light.

“My child, before the summer night ends…” Frederick the Great’s voice trailed off, becoming a murmur: “Stop snuggling in my arms as much as you like…”

Chapter 357 Screening of a Movie Clip

"Ta-da! All the movie scenes have been filmed! And edited!"

Bumblebee walked into the office with the video, followed by several other ship girls: "Commander, would you like to see the finished product?"

“Of course.” Li Wei gestured for the ship girls to set up the movie themselves. “Let me see. This is my first time participating in movie production. Although I participated in a large-scale simulation project when I was in the Northern Union, I only had the script that time, and there was no record like this.”

Hornet was full of confidence, and the other ship girls echoed in unison, "We'll definitely satisfy the Commander!"

The curtains were drawn, the lights were turned off, and a row of people sat on the sofa, waiting for the movie to start in the darkened room.

In this wilderness, there once stood a bustling town.

The town's pubs smelled of fruit juice, and the chef there made an exceptional pineapple pizza. They said the town was cursed.

If you ask me, there's a story behind that town.

After all, that's where I met the legendary 'Commander'.

—Excerpt from "Western Memoirs: Prologue" by Bumblebee

After a brief cutscene, the camera shifts to Li Wei himself. As the undisputed male lead of the film, his presence is undoubtedly maximized.

Li Wei: "You know what, this makeup and styling is really good. I even think I look handsome."

The ship girls giggled and laughed, "Commander, you're already handsome~"

"That's right, Commander, you're the most handsome in our hearts!"

The dry clumps of grass drifted to my feet with the wind, and the horse beside me snorted as it approached, looking listless once again.

The commander stroked the horse's neck: "Are you tired too?"

However, the horse did not answer the question; all it could hear was the whistling wind and a...

Herring appears in the frame, captioned "Frontier Quickshooter." The camera then pans to Bumblebee, who appears in the frame this time with the caption "Pineapple Pizza Quickshooter."

Li Wei: "...Luckily there aren't any Sardinian ship girls here, otherwise you might have seen the Red Temperature."

Everyone: "Hahaha..."

It seems the pineapple pizza meme works across all factions, except Sardinia.

Herring, dressed in denim, gazes ahead: "Bumblebee, before sunset today, you will become one with this sandy land."

Bumblebee: "Really? I hope you've already written your will, Herring."

“I’ll show you who the only ‘quick shooter’ is here.”

Li Wei: "Not bad, the herring's performance is quite impressive."

Herring smugly said, "Heh heh, I've been honing my acting skills for days. This little trick is easy. If Commander wants to learn, I can teach you too~, the close-quarters kind~"

Shh, keep watching the plot!

Herring shut its mouth, indicating they should move to another spot, clearly wanting to whisper something. This was exactly what Levi wanted; he gestured to Bumblebee and led the two to sit in the back.

The voices shattered the tranquility and desolation of the wasteland. Looking in the direction of the voices, two young women faced each other, seemingly engaged in a duel. Just as he was pondering this, leading his weary horse forward—

The bumblebee and the herring shouted in unison, "Stop!"

Herring: "Just stand there, don't move. You don't want a few more holes in your chest, right?"

Bumblebee: "That's right, just stand there with your hands up. And don't try to draw your gun, because I'll be faster than you."

Bumblebee exclaimed, "Tsk, I felt really imposing back then, and looking at it now, I really am cool!"

Hornet's exclamation drew angry glares from the ship girls, so the girl could only smile awkwardly and gesture for everyone to continue watching.

The commander obediently raised his hands, indicating that he meant no harm. Seeing the commander raise his hands, the two girls nodded to each other and approached him.

Off-camera, Li Wei had Bumblebee and Herring in his arms, one on each side. Bumblebee chuckled silently, while Herring, unconcerned about its own scent, clung tightly to Li Wei.

Herring reached directly to the Commander's waist, pulled out the Commander's revolver, and tossed it to Bumblebee, who was standing nearby: "Sorry, you know. It's always better to be careful in a place like this."

The commander nodded: "I understand, but it has indeed been with me for a long time. I hope you will return it to me as soon as possible after confirming that this non-existent threat has been eliminated."

Bumblebee: "Don't be in such a hurry, stranger! Let me take your bullets first... Hmm? This symbol... Vanderwright Gang!"

"These are my bullets..." Bumblebee began loading quietly, "Commander..."

Levi remained silent, simply gesturing for Bumblebee to continue. The movie's dim lighting was obscured by the ship girls in the front row, so Levi could only see Bumblebee moving, relying on his senses to determine what she was doing.

Herring also noticed Hornet's movements, and the two ship girls began loading the commander's main gun together.

Herring: "What? Is this guy a member of the Van der Wright gang?"

Bumblebee: "There's no mistake, this mark on the gun proves this guy's identity. But I remember... the rumor is that only the founder of this gang—'The Commander'—has this mark on his gun..."

Herring: "So, in other words... this guy in front of us could very well be the infamous 'Commander' who, through his own strength and wisdom, established himself in the most desolate place, became a legend, and then quickly disappeared without a trace!"

Herring looked at the Commander: "Ahem, um, are you the 'Commander' himself?"

Bumblebee: "But why did the commander come here?"

Off-screen, Bumblebee leaned close to Levi's ear and asked the same question as the character in the scene: "Why did the Commander come here?"

Li Wei whispered in Bumblebee's ear, "Of course, it's for a deeper exchange with this beach."

Bumblebee's body went limp; the girl was utterly defenseless against such a blunt answer: "Commander... I..."

Li Wei pressed down on the girl's head, blocking her ability to speak, signaling her to try harder.

"Well……"

Commander: "Before answering your question, may I ask why you were dueling just now?"

Herring: "Oh, I just wanted to see who could draw their gun faster. But it doesn't matter anymore, right, Bumblebee?"

Bumblebee: "That's right! That's right! But right now, the more important thing is... Commander, would you like to join us?"

The commander shook his head: "When I started this journey, I swore I would never join any gang again, nor did I want to get involved in these conflicts."

Herring: "But I want to start fighting... If we don't fight now, Bumblebee will steal all our ammunition!"

"Then you should put in a little more effort." Li Wei adjusted his posture slightly, giving the two a fair competitive environment: "Anyway, it's pitch black down there and I can't see clearly, so whoever gets it gets it."

"Alright, let's begin a fair duel!"

Li Wei: ...You didn't get enough of the duels in the movies, so you went outside to continue the duels, right?

But if you two fight, I'll be the one who ends up sacrificing myself...

Bumblebee: "Hahaha, you've got it wrong! We're not here to recruit you into any gang."

Herring: "Commander, do you see that town over there?"

Following the direction the girl pointed, traces of buildings could be vaguely seen in the dust.

Herring: "There are things there that are dozens of times more interesting than gang warfare, you know~?"

Commander: "Hmm?"
