Azur Lane Mobile Front.

"Yes, indeed."

Rob, who was bankrupted by the auction house of the shady system, and who had just upgraded Xuefeng and the others, was now truly penniless.

Fortunately, even if others are still sitting here on vacation, they will still earn some income.

"Why has things quieted down at the Royal Family lately?"

There was actually one more thing that wasn't mentioned when Rob sold it to the Royal Mechs.

Although those ships were still considered Royal Navy ships, in reality, once they were fitted with mechs, the system considered them as Rob's people.

As long as they participate in the battle, the system will receive a reward.

Although the benefits were pitifully low because those machines were of low level.

However, since it's free anyway, and the Royal Navy's little queen is indeed very good at squeezing those ships out of them.

Therefore, the returns from this part have never been low.

It would be even better if war spite could be deployed over there.

Rob collects a considerable fee for each sortie, and the profits you gain from Warspite's attacks still go to Rob.

For a time, Luo was enjoying the thrill of making money from both sides.

But now all of that is gone.

The Royal Family hasn't seen any revenue for quite some time now.

"Could it be that Elizabeth has changed her personality? That doesn't make sense."

Although he was aware of what had happened on the royal side, Rob was unable to deduce exactly what had occurred due to a lack of intelligence.

"Really, Commander!"

St. Louis stretched out his finger and tapped Rob's nose again.

"Although these supplies are in my account, you don't think I would treat them as my personal property, do you?"

St. Louis's smiling face revealed a hint of reproach, like a playful young girl.

"Hmm...we'll talk about this when we get back."

...

"By the way, St. Louis, Mikasa has mentioned it to me privately several times."

"She said she was very interested in the models of these redesigned mechs."

"When I had some free time, I thought about it, and this thing should be similar to ship models or something like that."

"If handled well, there should be some profit to be made. What do you think?"

After sitting idly with St. Louis for a while, Rob suddenly remembered this matter.

Although Mikasa Daisenbei had been asking Robo to keep it a secret, Robo felt it was unlikely that it could be kept hidden forever.

"Hmm... If it's just about making a model, I'm afraid that won't work."

"Even if some people can make money... there won't be a large market."

"Ultimately, the battlefield is still too far removed from the masses. They have little concrete understanding of these things."

After listening to Rob's story, St. Louis lowered his head in deep thought for a moment, then shook his head.

She thought it wouldn't work.

"Of course, if it's just your personal interest, Commander, then it doesn't matter."

"No, no, no, St. Louis, people don't have a concept of the mecha because the advertising isn't effective enough."

“We can use publicity to pave the way. I think various artistic works would be a good choice.”

“We can also take out some of the machines that are active on the battlefield first.”

Although Rob doesn't understand economics, he can copy others' work when it comes to these things.

X-generation has already explained the sales model very clearly; you can always just copy it.

Moreover, compared to his previous life, Robo has a unique advantage.

You have to understand, these machines are things you can see and touch.

"To embellish stories from the battlefield and then disseminate them to the masses?"

"Commander, it seems your goal isn't just to make money..."

What Rob said wasn't complicated; St. Louis only needed to think about it for a moment to grasp the gist of it.

Whether it will be profitable is another matter if we follow Robb's approach.

At least those far from the battlefield will have a much higher level of recognition for the ships fighting on the front lines.

"So, is it promising?"

"We can give it a try, but it's best to hurry, because if all goes well, someone has just set up a big stage for us."

"what?"

Looking at St. Louis with a smile on his face, Rob was somewhat bewildered.

Is there something you don't know?

"Well... I originally planned to handle this myself."

St. Louis smoothed a strand of hair from his temple and began to organize his thoughts.

"However, what you just mentioned, Commander, has given me a new idea."

“A few days ago, Sardinia sent me an invitation.”

"It seems they are preparing to resume holding the expo."

"This kind of global exposition has been suspended for a long time due to the war, as you know, Commander, right?"

After listening to St. Louis's words, Rob nodded.

Rob had heard about this before.

"Recently, for various reasons, Sardinia probably feels that its international presence is somewhat diminished?"

"So they decided to revive the expo."

"Moreover, because of their faction, it's likely that both Azur Lane and Iron Blood will send people to participate."

Saint Louis, with a playful smile, continued telling Rob's story, having given a little joke to the Sardinian camp far away in Europe.

How much time do we have left?

"Hmm...probably another three or four months."

"Isn't the timeframe a bit too tight?"

Rob did the math and felt the timeframe was too tight. Even with a rush job, it seemed impossible to make it in time.

"So, the commander is still too naive!"

"Since we're exhibiting, we only need to make a few nice samples."

"As for the promotional videos, they only need to be a few minutes long."

"Do you understand what I'm saying, Commander?"

After listening to St. Louis's words, Rob nodded repeatedly, like a chicken pecking at rice.

Whether he himself understands it or not is unimportant; what matters is that St. Louis understands it.

"So, shall we have a drink to our new endeavor?"

As he spoke, St. Louis handed the glass to Rob, his smile suggesting that Rob couldn't refuse.

"Alright, I'll drink this one."

Rob took the glass, held it up to his nose, and smelled it; it seemed to still retain some of the aroma of St. Louis.

"Dry!"

After a brief clinking of glasses, Rob downed the drink in one gulp.

"Oops... I think I grabbed the wrong one~ Commander, that cup of yours looks like the one I just used~"

St. Louis watched as Rob finished his drink before bringing up the question.

Her expression clearly showed that she was flirting with Rob.

Chapter 355: When the Experimenter Becomes the Experiment Subject

"Fine, you've used it, so what? I won't care."

Looking at the wine glass in his hand, Rob shrugged, not taking it seriously.

Just kidding, I've already used this Zhenhai move before, and Luo has developed resistance to it.

"Eh..."

However, Rob's reaction was somewhat disappointing compared to that of St. Louis.

"So, what does that expression mean?"

"Hmm... St. Louis was actually quite looking forward to seeing the Commander panic, what a pity..."

Rob, who was so composed before, is really starting to lose his composure now.

This light cruiser actually said that right in front of him.

"Never mind, the drinks are all finished anyway. Commander, see you later!"

He shook the bottle of wine dangling beside him, but no sound came out. The look of astonishment on St. Louis's face vanished in an instant.

She stood up unsteadily, unsure whether it was from drinking too much or from feeling dizzy after sitting for so long.

Seeing her like this, Rob quickly got up and helped St. Louis up.

"Oh dear, it seems I really have had too much to drink..."

St. Louis shook his head vigorously, letting a strand of his long blue hair brush against Rob's cheek, and finally managed to stand up.

After thanking Rob, St. Louis walked unsteadily toward his room, swaying his hips.

From Rob's perspective, the rounded, full servo of St. Louis swayed slightly with the other's movements, which made him somewhat tempted.

"Oh, fairy~"

He shook his head, quickly trying to banish those images from his mind.

We've had our drinks and discussed our business; it's time to relax.

...

Yukikaze's side.

After wandering aimlessly in the Mirror Sea for several hours, Xuefeng and the others still hadn't found the core of the sea.

As darkness fell, Xuefeng and the others couldn't help but feel anxious.

After all, spending the night in the cockpit of a shrunken machine is definitely not a pleasant experience.

"Um... Yuudachi shouldn't stay here overnight."

Yuudachi, who is very simple-minded, took out her communicator and planned to ask Mikasa Daisenbei, who was far away in Sakura Empire, for help.

"Hey! Ordinary communication signals can't be transmitted in the Mirror Sea!"

Although Robo equipped all the mobile suits with specially designed system communicators, for some unknown reason, Mikasa did not remove the original, older communication devices.

Perhaps because old habits are hard to break, Yuudachi's first offering was an older model.

However, before Shigure could stop Yuudachi from doing something foolish, the communicator in Yuudachi's hand suddenly lit up.

"Hmm? Yuudachi, it seems you've already resolved it?"

It's strange that the message was sent using an old-fashioned communicator, and that it wasn't Yukikaze or Shigure who sent it, but Yuudachi.

However, Mikasa, who was busy with official duties, answered the call immediately.

However, since the old model of the communicator can work normally, it means that the problem in the Jingmian Sea area has been solved.

It seems the younger generation is quite clever; they've all learned to use this method to announce good news to themselves.
