"Let me correct you. I want the commander to focus all his firepower on me, so that he won't have the energy to bully the other ship girls of our Royal Navy."
"Heh, you?" Li Wei picked up Hu De: "You have no strength left, so I can do whatever I want to you."
"Well……"
……
After cleaning all the marks on the ship's hull for Hood in the bathroom, Hood took Levi to choose a set of equipment that he would only wear when riding a horse. The two then strolled over to the horse farm.
"How did the commander know I wanted to ride horses today?"
"Heh, I know everything about you." Li Wei indicated that although he didn't know how to choose a horse, he had ridden once or twice before, so he wasn't completely clueless. "I also know that you want to pick a tall, magnificent horse, and then I'll hold you from behind and ride you across the grassland, right?"
Li Wei's words resonated deeply with Hood, whose beautiful eyes shone as she looked at him: "Commander~"
Li Wei led out the horse he had arranged in advance: "It's a pity there's no pasture here, just an ordinary-sized horse farm—how about this, I'll take you to the Royal Palace when I have time, and you can have a good few days of fun on the Royal Palace's grasslands."
"Let's have some fun for a few days~" Hood emphasized the key point, then chuckled to herself: "Alright, Commander, I'm already very happy to be able to spend a day alone with you here. I can't ask for too much."
“How can you call that a luxury?” Li Wei helped Hood onto his horse. “Fulfilling your wishes is what I, as the commander, should do.”
Hood reached behind his jelly and adjusted the position of the commander's main gun: "Is it now too?"
Chapter 407 Hood, your operating system...
"Of course it is now."
Li Wei held Hood a little tighter than before, while also using his not-yet-skilled riding to stroll around the horse farm.
Hood covered her mouth and giggled, "I feel like the Commander is more like the Commander than before."
"What do you mean by 'more like a commander'? Do you mean I didn't look like a commander before?"
"Oh, it's just a feeling~" Hood was clearly more relaxed on horseback, although she could hardly be called ladylike when she was in the back garden: "I feel that although the previous commander was also very serious, he didn't have this kind of ease and confidence."
"The current commander seems to be in complete control, hmm..." Hood reached behind him and adjusted the main gun's position again: "Commander, it's on horseback~"
Li Wei stubbornly replied, "I used to be able to handle things with ease too."
“Alright, alright, it’s always like this before~” Hood pointed to the shade of a tree not far away: “Commander, shall we go over there to cool off? The horse is probably tired too, let it rest for a while.”
Li Wei wanted to say that the horse wasn't tired, but seeing that Hu De seemed to want to rest, he didn't insist and dismounted under the shade of a tree. Only then did the two discover that there was a chair that had been placed there beforehand.
"Looks like I'm not the only ship girl who's had this thought~"
Hood sat gracefully on the rock: "Commander, I brought some snacks with me this time. Would you like to replenish your energy?"
"Rather than replenishing my energy, I'd rather release some pent-up frustration." Li Wei looked around: "...Isn't there a toilet in this horse ranch?"
Hood produced a cup from somewhere: "If the Commander wants one, it's not impossible to have one~"
Li Wei quickly understood what Hood meant and aimed his main gun at her: "Then I'll trouble you, Ms. Hood. I'll replenish your fluids."
Hu De gave Li Wei a charmingly disdainful look, but still obediently opened her mouth and said, "Ah—"
"Hude, you look like a water heater right now." After the flood discharge, Li Wei felt much better: "When I saw you drinking tea before, I thought you were only drinking it for me, but I didn't expect you to really like it."
Hood: ╭(╯^╰)╮
"Water heater? Hmph..." Hood rinsed her mouth: "That's a little secret between us, Commander, don't tell anyone, okay?"
Li Wei nodded to indicate that she understood. It was indeed not something she could easily discuss with other ship girls about their personal operating systems, and Li Wei rarely revealed another ship girl's operating system to them—except for those she had discussed in depth with.
After resting, the two rode their horses for a few more laps. As the sun set, they washed off their sweat, changed into casual clothes, and Li Wei led Hu De to the commercial street of Donghuang. Hu De didn't ask why they weren't going to the royal area; the two tacitly avoided restaurants associated with royal cuisine.
Feiyun held up the menu: "Welcome! Commander, Aunt Hood, what would you like to eat?"
Li Wei held down Hu De's hand and led her to a corner: "I want a glass of fresh milk, and some filling staple food."
Feiyun: "Commander, won't you suggest some specific dishes? Longwu has recently developed quite a few new dishes."
Although Li Wei trusted Long Wu's culinary skills, he still had Fei Yun relay the message directly, letting Long Wu decide the menu himself, except for the beverage: "And another pot of strong tea."
Although he didn't know the commander's deeper meaning, Feiyun did as he was told.
Hood lightly stepped on Levi's foot under the table: "Commander, you seem to be getting addicted!"
Li Wei's expression remained unchanged: "One bullet, how about that?"
Hood remained unmoved and tried to bargain: "Isn't one round a bit too few?"
Li Wei: "Then... two rounds of ammunition? Plus a date tonight."
"Heh heh... Deal!"
After the strong tea was served, Li Wei first poured himself a cup, then added some ingredients, and poured a new cup for Hu De.
"Hmm...you can't tell at all..." Hood lowered her head, sniffed, and tasted it: "Speaking of which, Commander, I...I couldn't taste anything at all three times. After all, I'm a ship girl, so it's normal for me not to have any taste, so why don't you have any taste either?"
"It's probably because I've had so many in-depth exchanges with you ship girls, and I have a strong affinity for the Mind Cube, that I've been subtly influenced by it." Levi shrugged. "It's a good thing that it has no flavor, or, Hood, do you prefer something stronger?"
“This is just right.” Hood finished his strong tea in one gulp, then licked his lips with a hint of satisfaction. “A little weaker or stronger wouldn’t be as perfect as this.”
Li Wei joked, "If you really like it, Hood, I'll have Belfast... ah, now it's Newcastle, I'll have Newcastle arrange a special position for you, how about that? Just a permanent position, and I'll give it to you whenever I need it."
Hu De lightly stepped on Li Wei's foot again, but this time Li Wei reached down and grabbed his foot. Unable to pull it back, Hu De remained in that position and said, "I just don't mind, it's not like..."
"You really just don't mind?"
Before the food arrived, Li Wei skillfully removed Hu De's high heels, his fingers carefully feeling Hu De's perfect arch: "You didn't say that before."
"...Even if you like it, it's not something you can do for a day... That's too abnormal..." Hood gently stepped on Li Wei's palm with her nimble jailer, trying to push it towards the main gun: "Besides, if the commander really had this operating system, he could just shout it out in the port area and the ship girls willing to do it for the commander would probably line up from the office door all the way to the pier."
Li Wei initially wanted to say that it was impossible for there to be so many abnormal ship girls, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't find a single ship girl around him who hadn't done anything abnormal, so he had no choice but to remain silent and tacitly agree with Hood's statement.
"Commander, the milk you ordered is here too~" Fei Yun ran over carrying a big bottle of milk: "Because I didn't prepare in advance, I went out to buy it on the spot. If it doesn't taste good, I'll go and get you another bottle!"
Li Wei patted the little girl's head encouragingly: "Thank you for your hard work, Feiyun!"
"Hehe, it's no trouble at all." Fei Yun grinned sheepishly. "Commander, just call me anytime if you need anything!"
"it is good."
After Fei Yun left, Li Wei grabbed the jailer's hand again, which Hu De hadn't had time to retract: "Here, take this bullet now."
Hu Demei smiled and asked, "Commander, do you want to use my jailers?"
"Hmm~, here's your choice: do you want it on your nylon or in the milk?" Levi smiled at Hood. "I won't have any influence over it."
Hood hesitated for a moment: "Then I still want the special milk."
Li Wei: "You're such an honest ship girl. In that case, I'll reward you in both places."
Hood's eyes lit up.
……
"Goodnight, Commander~"
Hood walked home in a slightly awkward posture, attracting a lot of attention along the way. Most of the unsuspecting ship girls came up to ask if Hood needed any more help; a few ship girls who immediately guessed what was going on smiled knowingly.
"Good night."
Li Wei bid farewell to Hood and headed back, collecting his mission rewards along the way. At first glance, Li Wei thought the rewards would be useful today. While the Body Development skill didn't offer a huge boost, its effects on the ship girls lasted a long time, allowing for the development of many new gameplay strategies.
Body Development Level 2: Slightly increases the stats of a specific body part of a ship girl, or improves her aptitude for certain gameplay mechanics. Can be used twice every 24 hours, and each ship girl can only use it once. The newly developed stats will replace the old ones.
Li Wei soon found a ship girl he could use for practice.
"Radiance?"
"Ah, Commander, greetings~"
Guanghui tried his best to maintain his balance while bowing, but unexpectedly, he lost his balance halfway through and fell into Li Wei's arms.
"It's already dark, what's Glorious doing here?"
"Hmm... I'm out shopping with my sisters today~" Glorious didn't rush to stand up, but leaned against Levi's chest: "Ah... Commander's heart is beating faster~, is it because of Glorious?"
Li Wei helped Guanghui up: "Why don't I see Shengli and the others?"
"They... oh, sorry, let me ask around a bit... I hope my sisters didn't abandon me and go back first? That wouldn't be good~"
Li Wei looked speechlessly at Guanghui, who seemed a little confused: "In that case, I'll stay here and wait with you for a while."
"Commander is still so gentle~" Glorious led Li Wei to the side, and the two sat on chairs, close together. Although he had supplied Hood with a few rounds of ammunition during the meal, they hadn't been able to have a proper conversation because they were in a public place in the restaurant, so he couldn't help but tighten his grip on Glorious's arm.
"Hmm... Commander, would you like to enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by sweet cotton candy a little longer? Sure~"
After sending the message, Guanghui waited a while and, finding no response from his sisters, leaned close to Liwei and whispered, "How about... we just stay here and enjoy the experience?"
Li Wei grinned mischievously: "Since that's the case, how about I let Radiance enjoy something a little different from before? We'll keep in touch."
"Eh? Of course! Commander, please unleash your power! Illustrious will accept everything from you~"
Li Wei activated his body development skill, targeting the symbols of brilliance and focusing his development on making them easier to defeat.
He gently pinched the symbol of glory with his hand.
His radiant smile instantly changed color, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Eek!"
Chapter 408 Li Wei had never heard of himself starring in a film.
"Commander, did you do something to my sister?"
Li Wei looked up at Ke Wei: "What do you mean?"
Fearless: "Ever since Illustrious came home last night, she's been blushing and muttering things we can't understand. Tell me, Commander, did you bully Illustrious?"
Li Wei shook his head: "I didn't. If you don't believe me, you can go back and ask Guanghui to see if I bullied her or not."
Li Wei was very confident in what he said because he really didn't have Radiance last night—if you had to put it in perspective, Radiance was begging him to bully him, and he couldn't help but bully him even if he didn't want to.
Formidable originally wanted to cross her arms, but due to certain objective reasons, she had to change her posture: "Hmph... Don't think I don't know, Commander, you and Illustrious are in cahoots, you must have already made arrangements."
Li Wei: "...I'm a little curious. She fainted when I carried Guanghui back last night. What else could she have said?"
Kewei gave a soft snort, blushing as she said, "Hmph... what Guanghui said... say... never mind, I'm too lazy to say it!"
Li Wei: ...
He roughly knew what Illustrious was going to mutter. For Formidable to react like this, it must be something related to deep communication, and most likely something Formidable hadn't even imagined—after all, among the four Illustrious sisters, Formidable was the one who had played the game the cleanest, forming a stark contrast with Illustrious.
"Look, you can't even give a straight answer, you can't produce any evidence, yet you want to judge me." Li Wei lowered his head to work on the documents: "Or are you actually jealous that your Second Glory sister can have in-depth conversations with me?"
"You! I... Hmph!" Ke Wei flung his hand away, opened the door, and left.
"Slow down, don't collapse the outside floorboards!"
"Humph!"
The fearsome stomped even harder.
After confirming that Formidable had left, Li Wei took out his communication device from the drawer: "Radiance..."
"What does the Commander want to say? Hehe... Illustrious is always here, ready to listen to you~"
"Tsk, you heard that, didn't you? This is to speak up for you."
A soft laugh came from the other end of the communication device: "Hehe, my little sister has a bit of a temper, Commander, please bear with her."
“Of course I will take responsibility.” Li Wei changed the subject: “Speaking of which, Guanghui, what exactly did you say after you went back last night? It actually made Kewei come over and question me.”
"Hmm... Commander, questioning a lady about these things isn't exactly what a gentleman should do~"
Li Wei was speechless: "...You've already said it, why are you still talking about being a lady?"
A hint of anticipation crept into Radiant's voice: "Well... if Commander really wants to know, how about I tell you privately this afternoon?"
"Hehe, okay, then I'll look forward to our date this afternoon."
……
in the afternoon.
When Li Wei arrived at the place he had arranged to meet Guanghui, he was surprised to find it was a newly built cinema in the port area. The cinema was located on the top floor of the museum. Li Wei had only been there a few times before, when it was completed. Now that he had arranged to meet Guanghui here, Guanghui must have already made preparations for watching a movie.
"Commander, over here~"
Illustrious dribbled up to the commander from behind, then hugged him tightly, saying, "I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting, Commander~"
Li Wei savored the feeling of the radiant symbol behind him, then turned around: "Don't worry about it, it's only been a few minutes."
Illustrious chuckled mischievously: "Hehe, if the Commander had been waiting here alone for too long, he probably would have been approached by other ship girls by now, right?"
