The summit of Mount Tai in this world was clean and refreshing. The group chatted and laughed as they climbed to the top, reaching the summit around 4 PM. Without the hotels and other buildings that had been constructed in their previous life, they decided to set up camp and tents for the night before sunset.
"...It seems we didn't bring much luggage?"
"No big deal~" Zhenhai opened his communication device and pressed a few buttons. Soon after, a helicopter arrived and airdropped all the resources needed for the overnight stay onto the mountaintop.
Zhenhai: "Ready~"
Li Wei: "...So why not just leave us on the mountaintop? We'd save ourselves the trouble of climbing."
Yi-hsien: "If we don't climb the mountain, how will we get the commander's ammunition?"
Li Wei slapped Yi Xian's jelly hard: "So you guys just want my ammunition!"
Yixian laughed sweetly, without refuting.
"Alright, let's start setting up camp now!" Long Wu started working: "I can't wait to cook!"
"Alright, alright, look how anxious our little cook is." Li Wei gestured for the ship girls to get moving: "Come on, let me see how many tents you've prepared."
Zhenhai and Yixian smiled without saying a word, and Li Wei suddenly had a bad feeling. He unfolded the various packages: "...One?"
"...Why is this tent so big?"
Zhenhai gently fanned himself: "If it's not big, how can we have time to rest?"
Binjiang is already giving Zhenhai a thumbs up: "Not bad, I like this development!"
Alfredo perked up: "Ah, is the real show finally about to begin!"
Li Wei: ...Anyway, we've already reached the top of the mountain. I'm now truly "without a way to go to heaven or to go to hell." I can only rest well with the ship girls on the mountaintop.
He then realized that Alfredo, as a Sardinian ship girl, didn't really understand the meaning of ancient poems. The fact that she didn't feel bored along the way was entirely due to Li Wei's identity as a commander and the beautiful scenery providing her with motivation.
“Alright, from now on, I will transform into a reporter and document the Commander’s week-long life on the mountaintop!” Alfredo set up his camera: “Ah, won’t this prevent me from filming what’s happening inside the tent?”
Li Wei: "You still want to film inside?"
Alfredo stuck out his tongue: "Heh heh... there's always a bit of curiosity, isn't there..."
“Then I can allow you to film yourself while you’re in the tent.” Levi patted Alfredo’s little head: “Then I’ll post the footage and videos of your intimate encounters online, so the ship girls can see how I conquered you, how about that?”
Alfredo realized he had misspoke: "No, Commander, I'm only taking pictures of the outside!"
"Hum..."
"Commander, you guys set up the camp first, I'm going to cook!"
Li Wei patted Long Wu's head: "What are you planning to do today, Long Wu?"
"Since we're already at Mount Tai, we should definitely try the local specialties!" Long Wu had already rolled up his sleeves and started preparing the ingredients: "Don't worry, Commander, Shandong cuisine is my specialty!"
"I've prepared all the ingredients for Tofu, Sweet and Sour Carp, Braised Sea Cucumber with Scallions, Shredded Shark Fin, Braised Four Treasures, Braised Pork Intestines, and Stir-fried Double Crispy Pork... What would you like to eat, Commander? I can make it!" Long Wu's eyes sparkled. Cooking was a hobby and a pleasure for her, not a burden: "Even if you ask for ingredients that aren't available here, it's fine. The ingredients can be airlifted over quickly!"
Li Wei: ...That's not necessarily true.
"Just do it your way."
"Ok!"
The golden rays of the setting sun bathed everyone in its glow, and the tent was finally mostly set up. The tent itself was enormous, covering several dozen square meters. It could comfortably accommodate not only six people, but even more.
Li Wei: "...Did you originally plan to bring only four people?"
Zhenhai carefully rolled up the door and carried in various daily necessities: "Yes."
"...Do six people really need such a large area?"
Zhenhai: "Does the Commander like everyone to live together in a cramped space? Of course, that's fine too~. But the Commander might not be able to sleep well then, right?"
It's not like I can sleep well right now.
Li Wei: "No, I was just curious."
“Because there are many living areas.” Yi Xian emerged from the tent, the cotton candy in front of her bobbing in the air with her movements. “For example, we’ve also prepared a special bathing area. Commander, you wouldn’t want everyone to go a week without getting cleaned, would you?”
"Aren't there any hot springs?"
“Of course, but it’s better to be prepared.” Yi Xian dragged another huge package into the tent: “If the temperature outside is too low, such as when the mountain wind is howling at night, then it’s better for the commander to take a shower in the tent to avoid going out and facing the biting mountain wind.”
"You're right. So what's inside this big package?"
"This big package contains what the Commander likes." Yi Xian smiled and gestured for Li Wei to come over and see for himself.
Li Wei stepped forward, opened the package, and glanced at it: "...So much?"
"Hmm, after all, it's seven days~, I've prepared all kinds of styles~" Yi Xian took the opportunity to kiss Li Wei: "I have all the styles that the Commander likes~, compared to the simulated scenarios, it's definitely more enjoyable to have in-depth exchanges in reality, right?"
Li Wei wanted to refute Yi Xian, but he couldn't find a point to make. The feeling in reality and in a simulated scenario were indeed completely different. Even if the simulated scenario was made to be extremely realistic, he would subconsciously feel that he was not in reality.
So in the end, he could only squeeze Yixian's jelly again to let Yixian go in.
Zhenhai called out from inside the tent: "Commander~"
Li Wei followed Yi Xian into the tent: "What's wrong?"
"Commander, come help me see how to categorize these clothes?" Zhenhai pulled Li Wei to a corner of the tent: "This corner is full of the clothes I brought this time. Commander, can you tell me what I should wear today?"
Li Wei then noticed that Zhenhai, Yixian, and Binjiang had each taken a corner to store their clothes. This was a good thing. The large quantity of clothes was quite heavy, not only making it difficult for Li Wei to choose, but also hopefully securing the tent—although with five ship girls guarding it, there was absolutely no chance the tent would collapse.
"Let me see, hmm... I think this one is nice."
"Hmm? So the Commander likes this?" Zhenhai giggled. "No problem~, I'll change into it right now~"
……
When Zhenhai stepped out of the tent, Yixian and Binjiang followed behind her. All three ship girls had changed into the outfits designated by Li Wei.
"Commander, how is it?" Zhenhai waved her dark long sleeves slightly, and in the mountain breeze, she looked like a fairy descending to earth, exceptionally beautiful—if it weren't for the fact that most of the cotton candy was exposed, she could even be described as holy.
"Beautiful, like a fairy."
Zhenhai struck a few poses: "Hmph... So this is the kind of fairy the Commander likes?"
Li Wei said seriously, "A fairy like this is still a fairy—besides, as long as a fairy is compatible with my operating system, she is a good fairy."
Behind him, Yi Xian was dressed in white. At first glance, her upper body was much more conservative than Zhen Hai's attire, but the back half of the ship made Li Wei uneasy again. The light and airy clothing seemed to be nonexistent, allowing Li Wei to see Yi Xian's core cabin without using his penetrating abilities.
"Commander, what about my true form?"
Li Wei clapped his hands: "Beautiful, so beautiful that I already want to have a deeper conversation with the fairies."
Binjiang makes her final appearance: "Commander, how's mine?"
The bright red of Binjiang was equally stunning. If Zhenhai was the part that caught Li Wei's eye at the beginning, and Yixian was the part that made Li Wei want to have a deeper conversation with Li Wei at the end, then Binjiang was the part that made Li Wei want to go inside right now, both at the beginning and the end.
The upper part of the marshmallow is larger than the previous Zhenhai area. With just a slightly larger arm movement, you can see the landmark of Binjiang; with a slightly larger long and white arm movement, you can see the core cabin of Binjiang.
"Wow, that's pretty good."
Binjiang also struck a pose, exposing all his weaknesses at once. This pose clearly showed that he had practiced countless times, which was why he could so accurately display all the parts he wanted to show in front of Li Wei: "Commander, hmm?"
Li Wei had already stood up: "Come on, come inside with me!"
Zhenhai: "Commander, I want to come too!"
Yi Xian: "Commander, I want to come too!"
Li Wei: "Come on, everyone!"
He suddenly remembered something: "Long Wu, how much time is left until dinner?"
Long Wu stood on tiptoe: "How long does the Commander want?"
Li Wei had already entered the house: "Is the time I need to conquer all three beaches at least once enough?"
Long Wu: "Commander, is half an hour enough?"
Li Wei: "Half an hour? No problem!"
Li Wei looked at the three ship girls: "Hehehe, you want to tempt me with this? Well, I can only say that you are reaping what you sow!"
Binjiang: "Then let's see if this is a case of reaping what you sow~, isn't this outfit the style the commander specified?"
Zhenhai had already used his jailers to hook the commander's main gun: "That's right, Commander, you chose this one, and we have three men, so we have the numerical advantage!"
Yi Xian then shifted the attack focus to another direction: "Commander, you don't want Long Wu waiting for you outside, do you?"
Li Wei: Good heavens, they actually dare to threaten me? I have to deliver a heavy blow!
No, heavy artillery!
Alfredo: "Wait, Commander, what about me!"
Long Wu swallowed hard, then asked cautiously, "Miss Alfredo, could you perhaps make my food more well-known?"
Alfredo: "Of course!"
Chapter 416 Commanders Must Be Courageous and Take Responsibility
Longwu's meal is finally ready.
Alfredo: "Wow, it smells so good, it looks amazing, it must taste delicious too!"
Ryuu: "Of course, I'm confident in my cooking skills! If I can't say I'm the best among all the ship girls, I'm definitely among the top! The Commander always raves about my food!"
Alfredo: "It's so nice! I wish I could eat this delicious food every day. Longwu, you wouldn't believe it, Veneto is obsessed with the bathhouse and doesn't care at all what we eat..."
Alfredo was much bolder than usual, complaining to Longwu about the leader of his faction. He probably trusted that Longwu wasn't the type to gossip easily and wouldn't spread her complaints.
Long Wu: "The food in Sardinia is quite good too, at least much better than the royal cuisine."
Alfredo: "That's true."
Long Wu served six people's worth of food, arranged the table neatly, and made the steaming food look especially tempting under the lamplight before calling into the tent, "Commander, it's time to eat!"
The commander's voice came from inside the tent: "Good, good, I'll come out now!"
The moon gradually climbed above the treetops.
Long Wu continued to call into the tent: "It's cold outside, why don't I bring it in to eat?"
Li Wei emerged from the tent, having changed his clothes: "Cooking is hard enough, I'll do it. But it is indeed quite cold outside, so it's best not to push yourself in this environment."
"Uh-huh!"
Yi Xian was the second to come out of the tent: "Long Wu, you've worked hard. Come in with us. And Alfredo, I'm sorry to have kept you outside all this time."
Alfredo indicated he didn't care. Rather than risk being forced into battle, the girl felt it was better to chat and gossip with Longwu outside. At least she wouldn't be defeated before even eating.
Zhenhai and Binjiang also changed their clothes and came out. Everyone worked together to fill the tent with the aroma of food.
Li Wei: "No matter when, the food Long Wu makes is always so delicious, there's never any chance of it going wrong... Wait, why do these dishes look so familiar?"
Zhenhai, sitting to Li Wei's left, placed the braised kidneys in front of him: "Commander, you've eaten plenty of these in the port, so of course they look familiar. Here, have some kidneys, they're very nourishing!"
Yi Xian sat to Li Wei's right and poured the stir-fried pork kidneys into Li Wei's bowl: "Commander, the pork kidneys are delicious too, have some more~"
Li Wei's body trembled slightly. He had just defeated three ship girls, and now he needed a big meal to replenish his strength. He didn't even dare to think about what he would do that night. He quickly changed the subject to Long Wu: "Long Wu, you've prepared such a sumptuous meal. Thank you for your hard work."
Long Wu shook his head: "These are just small things, as long as the commander likes to eat them. If the commander wants, we can make some more now, there are still quite a few ingredients left."
"No need, no need, there's enough to eat." Li Wei subtly blocked his bowl with the action of picking up food, stopping Binjiang from putting sea cucumber into his bowl: "You deserve a lot of credit for everyone being able to have a happy meal together here today. I'll give you a good reward later."
Long Wu's eyes lit up: "Is it the same reward as Zhenhai and the others?"
Li Wei put on a stern face: "No."
The light in Long Wu's eyes gradually faded.
Li Wei: "We're all very tired today. It's dark outside now, so everyone should rest."
Long Wu said dejectedly, "Oh..."
Zhenhai gently patted Li Wei's thigh, signaling him to stop teasing Long Wu. If he didn't say it directly, the little girl might actually take it seriously.
Li Wei continued, "But I can go stargazing with you. Imagine being in a quiet mountaintop, in a hot spring just for the two of us, with me watching the stars together—how romantic would that be?"
Long Wu nodded, lost in his daydream: "It's so romantic to think about it like that..."
Zhenhai chimed in, "Yes, Longwu, we're exhausted from playing around just now, and we've used up a lot of energy. The commander will need your help to keep him company later."
Long Wu's eyes immediately lit up again: "No problem! Leave it to me!"
With the double promises from the Commander and Zhenhai, Longwu was full of energy. He not only took the initiative to clean up the dishes, but also patted his chest and said that he would come back to make everyone a midnight snack.
Zhenhai and the others simply exchanged smiles at Longwu's words, taking them to heart. It wasn't that they didn't believe in Longwu's determination, but firstly, if the two went to the hot springs, Longwu would definitely be defeated several times in the end; secondly, even if they returned, it would probably be early morning, and the ship girls, having already been defeated several times, just wanted to rest.
