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

"Is that so~" Hood deliberately dragged out her words, giving Levi a light kiss on the cheek: "But why do I feel like the Commander didn't say that?"

"...So what do you think I said?"

Li Wei returned the marriage proposal and savored the sweet taste of the royal lady.

Perhaps because he had just drunk a lot of milk tea, Li Wei felt that Hu De's lips were becoming increasingly sweet, and he couldn't help but taste them a few more times.

"I think……"

Unbeknownst to her, Hood's delicate hand had already found its destination: "I don't think the Commander's words count..."

"Oh?"

"Only what the commander says here... counts..."

Li Wei said with a smile, "Why don't you ask him what he has to say?"

"Okay~"

To Li Wei's surprise, Hu De actually lowered his head and asked the commander, "Commander, what is your intention in bringing me here?"

Li Wei removed Hu De's sun hat, stroked the lady's smooth, long golden hair with his fingers, and gently tied it behind her head so that it wouldn't get in the way.

Hu De gave Li Wei a charmingly disdainful look, already knowing what her commander was planning to do.

Sure enough, Li Wei gently pressed Hu De's head.

"Since you've asked, I guess I'll have to reluctantly accept it."

"Well……"

……

Hood's movements were full of tenderness.

While gently stroking the long hair of the lady in his arms, Li Wei counted the types of milk tea in the hands of the passing ship girls.

"1 cups of bubble tea."

Hood was enjoying his bubble tea.

"One cup of fruit tea."

Hood turned his head upwards to taste the fruit tea.

"This is... one cup of coffee."

Hood lowered his head again to savor his coffee.

Noshiro walked by, a cup of bubble tea in her hand.

"3 cups of bubble tea."

Ke Wei walked by, a cup of bubble tea in her hand.

"5 cups of bubble tea."

"There's suddenly so much more bubble tea!"

Hood finally seized an opening and was able to speak: "Commander, where do you like to go?"

"If I had to say, I do prefer bubble tea a little more." Li Wei had to nod and say, "Fruit tea is astringent, and coffee is bitter... It's true that bubble tea, which has been tested by the masses, is the most universally appealing."

Hood pondered for a moment: "So... the royal maid shop is still based on milk tea after all..."

"The sample size is too small. Let's take another look."

Hood lowered his head again: "Hmm..."

Mainz walked by, a cup of coffee in his hand.

"Two cups of coffee...it seems coffee is a popular drink..."

"The Ironblood ship girls probably like it more, right?"

A few minutes later, Hood looked up and replied, "Apart from Ironblood... at least in the Royal Navy, it's relatively rare."

Li Wei nodded.

"Understandable."

Coffee is so bitter, I guess only ship girls like Mainz really like it.

……

"8 cups of bubble tea."

……

"12 cups of bubble tea."

……

"...I feel like there's no need to look anymore," Hood straightened up and licked the milk tea from the corner of his mouth. "It's basically just milk tea all the time."

“Indeed.” Li Wei tried to get up, but suddenly felt a soreness in his lower back.

...Maintaining one posture for too long does require a bit of caution.

The main problem is that Hu De maintained that position while sipping milk tea for several times, so it's no wonder he had back pain and low stamina.

If they had just changed their posture, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

Hu De had gotten used to the feel of the soles of his feet, and it was now Hu De who was supporting Li Wei.

I never expected the situation to change so quickly.

Just half an hour ago, she was supporting Hood herself...

"Commander, shall we move on to the next location for investigation?"

"……besides?"

"We've only decided to open a maid-themed bubble tea shop, but we haven't decided on the location yet~"

Li Wei thought to himself, "If you give me a specific address, you can't really extort me anymore, right?" So he happily went there.

"Here... Ah, this is the location chosen by Ironblood, right?"

From a distance, the two saw a construction site with various iron-blooded patterns standing nearby.

As mentioned in yesterday's meeting, the Iron Blood Cafe is located at a corner of an intersection, which is one of the areas with the highest foot traffic.

"It should be right here."

"Then... let's choose the opposite corner!"

Hood grabbed the commander and headed straight for the other side.

This area is currently still a green space, and occasionally ship girls can be seen resting on nearby benches—that's how it is when the land is vast and sparsely populated, so you can just build whatever you want.

"Once the location is confirmed, you can give me a written report directly." Li Wei didn't care where the two companies' addresses were.

The technology in this world is incredibly convenient; both construction and subsequent processing are effortless.

"The initial selection has been made."

Any other ideas?

“Of course there are, but…” Hood helped the commander and headed straight for a secluded corner nearby.

"Commander, I need to investigate further..."

"...You're inspecting the location, why are you inspecting me?"

"To better assess the situation, I must maintain better judgment..." Hood said righteously, "To maintain better judgment, I must immediately speak with the commander here..."

Do you want to hear what you're saying?

Li Wei thought to himself, but his hands didn't slow down at all.

It's time for me to finish my task.

I will completely conquer you at the place you choose.

……

The iron-blooded construction site not far away.

Hutten crossed his arms, frowned slightly, and looked into the distance: "Bismarck, look at that big tree..."

"Ok?"

"The one across the crossroads."

"Oh..." Bismarck tried to figure it out: "What's wrong?"

"Isn't that a bit strange?"

Bismarck stared at it closely: "It seems a little...shaky?"

“I think so too.” Hu Teng compared the images back and forth, confirming that he wasn’t mistaken: “I don’t think I’m seeing things wrong.”

Bismarck immediately pulled Eugen over: "Eugen, look at that tree."

"……Um?"

Eugen's expression shifted from flippant to puzzled, then from incomprehension to seriousness.

Bismarck asked in confusion, "What did you find?"

Eugen put a finger to his lips, signaling Bismarck to be quiet: "Listen."

The three of them walked a dozen steps outside, holding their breath and focusing intently, even activating their radars.

A voice from a ship girl, familiar to both Eugen and Bismarck, rang out.

Then came a voice that was familiar to all three ship girls.

Bismarck, Hutten, Eugen: ...

Then the tree stopped shaking.

Eugen was about to take a few steps forward when Bismarck and Hutten grabbed him at the same time.

The tree began to shake again.

The air was filled with a scent that was all three of them extremely familiar with.

"Alright, since the commander is having so much fun, let's not disturb him for now..."

Chapter 72: A Feeling of Taking My Daughter to a Parent-Teacher Conference

November 28st

The royal lady is very radiant.

Especially from behind.

……

Li Wei was very satisfied with yesterday's investigation.

It includes not only the results, but also the investigation process.

The sturdy and imposing bridge, the soft and chewy jelly-like texture, and the skillfully maneuvered propellers—every detail is a delight.

The skill upgrades were also better than Li Wei had imagined.

The eavesdropping skill at level 2 has an additional on/off option compared to level 1. If you don't want to hear other people's thoughts, you can turn it off directly—although the trigger frequency is not high, at least you won't be suddenly startled.

A skill can be useless, but it cannot only have negative effects.

Today's task:

"Today's task: Conduct the first test of the simulation project with Queen Elizabeth."

"Mission Reward: Increase Search Ability Level".

"Task determination: You will receive a reward upon successfully completing the simulation project test."

You can get rewards by completing the simulation project directly. Search ability is also a very good ability. This mission is a good mission in terms of both difficulty and reward.

However, before I knew it, several days had passed since my last visit to inspect the simulation project.

Li Wei had a very fulfilling few days.
