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

"Hmm... let's go then..."

……

Memphis: "Commander, this is the arrangement for the newly recruited ship girls. Please take a look."

"Hmm, let me see... Not bad, they've all found their places and integrated well into the port area."

Memphis hesitated, "Commander..."

Li Wei looked up at Memphis: "Hmm?"

The girl said shyly, "Tonight..."

Li Wei looked down at the documents and said, "Sorry, I already have an appointment tonight."

"All right……"

After Memphis left, Duisburg crawled out from under the table: "Commander, how come I didn't know you had other plans?"

"Playing dumb again." Levi patted the Duisburg jelly hard. "Let's go to your café."

Duisburg reluctantly spat out the main gun it had been holding in its mouth: "Hmm... so it was completed so quickly!"

“Yeah, what else? The technology in the port area is amazing.” Li Wei casually said, “Alright, let’s go.”

Duisburg pulled his clothes out from the corner of the room: "Commander, wait a moment—ah, why is it just a coat?"

“Memphis took it.” Levi draped Duisburg’s coat over her shoulders. “Let’s go.”

"Well……"

Throughout the journey, Duisburg felt extremely uncomfortable, constantly feeling like someone was watching him: "Commander, why do I keep feeling a chill..."

"You're only wearing a coat, of course you'll feel chilly."

“That shouldn’t be the case,” Duisburg said, puzzled. “Even if it’s just a coat… it should at least be windproof… how could it let in the wind?”

"Yeah, how could that be?" Li Wei quietly lowered his hand that had been lifting the back of his coat. "Why don't you move away a bit?"

"No..." Duisburg slowed his pace. "I want to walk slowly..."

"That's not up to you~" With a slight exertion, Li Wei completely exposed Duisburg to the air: "Let's go!"

"Well!"

The setting sun cast its golden light on the girl's boat, making her exceptionally beautiful.

"If you don't want to be spotted by other ship girls, you'd better hurry up, okay?" Levi quickened his pace, making it impossible for Duisburg to reach his trench coat: "I'll be waiting for you at your café."

"commander……"

Li Wei pretended not to hear Duisburg's "pleading" behind him and walked faster and faster until he had been waiting in the coffee shop for more than ten minutes before he saw Duisburg sneaking in little by little.

Li Wei is texting Memphis from the coffee shop, saying he's doing a good job.

Memphis replied to the message as quickly as possible, saying that at least one round of ammunition would be needed to offset the cost of today's performance.

"commander……"

Duisburg finally stepped into his own café.

Li Wei had expected Duisburg to be tired, ashamed, or even angry, but he never imagined that Duisburg's reaction would be to... He didn't even need to probe the outside of Duisburg's core module with his finger; he could see at a glance that the core module was being submerged by seawater under the warm yellow light.

"Commander, I..."

"Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect that, Duisburg. So you actually like..." Levi pretended to realize it only now: "I should have thought of it earlier. In the coffee shop, when you were wearing a bunny girl outfit and being stared at by everyone, I felt that your personality was a little different from usual."

"I can't believe it's actually true..."

Duisburg was so humiliated by the commander's words that he couldn't lift his head: "I...I just..."

"Don't just say 'just'."

The commander's main gun was already aimed at Duisburg, along with the acrid smell of gunpowder emanating from the barrel: "Want it?"

Duisburg answered its commander with its actions.

"Chiliu~"

Chapter 394 The Gameplay of Z11

"Z11, open the door, I know you're in there."

The door opened, and Z11's little head popped out. Her twin ponytails swayed in the air, and her bare face, without makeup, softened her somewhat of the stereotypical "landmine" image. Z11 was wearing a light nightgown, clearly indicating she hadn't been out for a while.

Upon seeing the commander, Z11 exclaimed in surprise, "Commander? You... what brings you here?"

"I heard you haven't left the house for a week straight, so I came to see what's going on." Li Wei raised the bag in his hand, indicating that he had brought Z11's favorite snacks: "Your companions who came with you have all integrated into port life, what about you?"

Z11 opened the door and welcomed the Commander into the room: "I've integrated too..."

The girl took the plastic bag from the commander, opened it, and looked inside at the snacks: "Small cakes, cookies, yogurt, chocolate... Wow, these are all my favorites. Commander, you're so thoughtful."

Li Wei entered Z11's room and saw a typical otaku girl's room—the room was dimly lit with curtains drawn, only a sliver of light coming from the game console screen; unfinished snack bags were scattered all over the floor. Li Wei had witnessed the same scene far too many times in the rooms of Nagashima, Ayanami, and others.

"Commander, how did you know I like these snacks?"

Li Wei didn't answer. He walked to the window and pulled open the heavy curtains in one go, letting the sunlight into the room.

The originally dim room immediately became bright and filled with sunlight.

Z11 exclaimed in surprise, "Ugh... The sunlight is so bright! If this keeps up, I'll melt! If I turn into a puddle of jelly, I won't be able to stay with the Commander anymore..."

“…Are you a mushroom? And you’re melting…” Li Wei was speechless. He turned on the air purifier in the room to remove the smell of snacks that filled the room: “Okay, come on, sit down.”

Z11 sat obediently in front of the commander.

What have you been doing these past few days?

"Hmm... I'm playing games with Ayanami and Nagashima."

"Not bad, you've made friends so quickly, even from different camps." Li Wei gave Z11 full recognition: "Did you go out for a stroll?"

"No."

"What have you been eating lately?" Li Wei glanced at the snack wrappers the two had thrown into the trash can. "You're not just living on snacks, are you?"

Z11 was a little guilty: "...No, not really. There's Fargo Logistics in the port area. I can order food directly through that app and have Fargo's drones deliver the food to my room... It's only a little more expensive than going out to eat, but it saves a lot of time, so it's a great deal!"

"...Why are you saving so much time?"

"Of course, it's playing games!" Z11 became animated when the topic of games came up: "Before, I was the only one playing games. Although I really enjoyed it, it got a bit boring after a while. After coming to the port, I didn't expect to find so many ship girls who also love games."

"So you just spent several days playing with them in your room?"

“Yes!” z11 excitedly recounted, “There are people who are exceptionally good at the game; there are people whose game skills are average but who are very enthusiastic; and there are people who don’t know how to play the game at all but still participate with great interest. Everyone is very enthusiastic, so you can fully immerse yourself in it.”

"Commander, you see, I'm not the kind of ship girl you're talking about who hasn't integrated into the port."

Which type are you?

"Eh? Well... I'm not bragging, but I'm really good at games." Z11 said with a hint of pride, "Apart from those few famous game masters in the port, the rest of the ship girls are no match for me."

"Really? That's impressive." Li Wei glanced at the games on the screen and realized that they were all games that Ayanami had shown him before: "They're all common games in the port area."

"Commander, you play too?" Z11 looked surprised. "Commander, would you like to play games with me? I'll let you win."

Li Wei was equally confident in his skills: "Ha, are you so sure you can beat me?"

“Of course~” Z11 seemed to have finally found an opportunity: “Commander, how about we make a small bet?”

Li Wei said he'd seen this kind of bet many times before and was well aware of what the ship girls were thinking. However, he still cooperatively asked Z11, "What do you want to bet?"

Sure enough, Z11 said his classic condition: "Let's bet on what we're wearing. We'll play port racing, and whoever loses has to accept the punishment. If the other person laps us, the punishment will be doubled, how about it?"

Li Wei readily agreed: "Sure."

In the first race, Li Wei unsurprisingly lost, even being lapped by Z11. This was in line with HR's plan, as it meant facing double the punishment.

Li Wei took off his shirt and trousers: "Not bad, you do have some skill."

It's late July now, the hottest time of the year. He wasn't wearing much to begin with, and after being doubled in his punishment, he's wearing even less, with only his last bit of protection left.

"This is my best game, Commander." Z11 said proudly, staring intently at the Commander's muscles. "Even that gaming master, Ayanami, might not be able to beat me in my best game."

"Heh, I'll let you win the first round." Li Wei refused to admit defeat: "From now on, I will not lose a single game and will turn the tide."

"I'm really looking forward to seeing how the Commander performs!"

Z11 quickly ran out of steam. For some reason, she felt that her control wasn't as smooth as it had been in the first game, and she kept wanting to focus her attention on the commander.

As expected, she was taken down by the commander in the second round.

Although not being lapped meant no double punishment, a loss was a loss. z11 opened her mouth in disbelief, but still obediently accepted her defeat and took off her light pajamas.

Now the two are on equal footing.

Although Li Wei was punished twice, his two pieces were separate; Z11's pajamas were more like a dress, connected together, which meant that now both of them could see each other's health...

"Let's decide the winner in the third game!"

"it is good."

Z11 lost the game because of his own carelessness; he didn't expect to lose even worse this time. Not only did he lose, but he was also lapped and has to accept double the punishment.

Last time I could find an excuse to lose, but this time I can't find any excuse at all.

"commander……"

Li Wei silently deactivated his hypnotic abilities: "Z11, how about it, are you convinced now?"

Chapter 395 Suddenly Turned into an Exchange Conference

"Z11, your communication device keeps ringing."

“A message from Ayanami, inviting me to play a game.” Z11 glanced at the message on the communicator, intending to ignore it: “It’s okay, Commander, I’ll just send a message later saying I didn’t see it.”

Li Wei, holding the seemingly small but actually quite substantial jelly-like Z11, said: "Hmm... it's no fun just leaving it there. Just reply to Ayanami normally and accept the invitation."

"Huh?" Z11's fingers trembled as she picked up her communicator and obediently replied as the commander instructed. Ayanami's message arrived again; the room was ready and waiting for Z11 to join.

"Join the room."

While directing Z11, Li Wei changed his posture so that Z11 could easily play the game without affecting his own movements.

"Hmm... Commander, are we just going to play the game like this?"

“Yeah.” Li Wei patted the jelly on Z11: “Not only do you have to play games like this, but you’re not allowed to lose—didn’t you say you’re really good at games? If you lose, you’ll have to continue to be punished.”

Z11's face turned slightly red. She had confidently declared herself a great gamer, only to be taught a lesson by the Commander on the spot. Not only was she defeated in her best game, but by an undeniable large margin, making her feel as if the Commander was mocking her whenever she heard him say that.

"Punishment it is, huh! Hmm..."

Upon entering the game room, the other three were already prepared. Li Wei immediately recognized the other three ship girls. Ayanami, Long Island, Veda, and Z11—the port now had a "game-addicted quartet."

Ayanami's voice came through the loudspeaker: "Hello, hello, hello?"

z11 typed: "I'm here."

Ayanami: "Z11, why aren't you using voice chat?"

Z11 turned to look at the commander and, at the commander's instruction, replied, "I am listening to Lord Rume's instructions, so I am not using voice chat."

Ayanami and the others all expressed their understanding.

The four of them were playing the same racing game that Z11 and Li Wei had played before. Li Wei could tell that Z11's gaming skills were indeed good; even with Li Wei interfering from behind, Z11 almost took first place.

Unfortunately, they almost got it but still didn't. At Li Wei's insistence, Z11 reluctantly turned on the voice chat: "Hello? Hmm..."

Ayanami: "Z11, have you arranged your work?"

z11: "Yeah...that's right..."

Li Wei's disruptions are not significant at the moment, and Z11 can barely handle them.

Veda: "Z11, are you going to work?"

z11: "No... um... why do you say that?"

Vida: "Didn't you say that Rumei had arranged a job for you before you paid for the photos?"

z11: "Hmm... well, not now... it's okay..."

Long Island: "Alright, alright, hurry up and get ready, next picture!"
