My anime girlfriend has come into my life

After they had had enough fun, they started thinking about the important things they needed to do in the city.

Building the structures planned in the Dust Song Pot would take a lot of time and materials. They could build their future homes themselves, but the materials couldn't be obtained locally.

However, the cost of materials is not a problem for them at all now, because they want to get a lot of building materials and are not sure what the final effect will be, so they need to buy from several different building material suppliers.

With lunchtime approaching, Li Chaoge decided to have lunch with them while they discussed things.

"By the way, do you guys even know how to pick out materials? Mei and the others trust you to come out and help so much?"

He led them to a restaurant that sold coconut chicken. Li Chaoge asked for a private room, ordered food, and sat down. Looking at them drooling over the menu, he asked them a question.

Kiana and the others seemed to have little experience in the construction industry, so Li Chaoge felt he had to take charge, but he didn't have much experience either.

Although he is currently being supported by Ya Ya's stock trading and will have a large amount of gold to sell later, buying things doesn't mean you have to be a sucker just because you have money. Being satisfied and willing to pay more is one thing, but being taken advantage of is another.

This is why he rarely goes to the farmers' market and always buys things at the supermarket.

There's a lot of haggling in the market, but if the vendors see you're a young, unfamiliar person who doesn't know how to bargain, they'll deliberately inflate the prices.

Supermarkets might be a bit more expensive, but the price is what it is. If you can't accept it, just don't buy it. At least you won't be shortchanged.

"What's the big deal? Just pick the expensive one!"

Kiana answered without hesitation.

"They might just be targeting people like you who are naive and have too much money."

Li Chaoge rolled his eyes at Kiana and said irritably.

It's true that you can't slack off; Kiana and the others are completely unreliable.

"Don't worry, boss. I'm good at dealing with unscrupulous businessmen. As long as I put a gun to their head, they'll do their job obediently."

Exusiai chuckled and made a shooting motion with her hand, as if it were a gun.

Although this tactic doesn't work well against Kroos, the unscrupulous merchant from Rhodes Island, who is notorious for being greedy and ruthless, and even Doctor Kal'tsit would try to swindle some money from her.

"Yes, yes! That's how the Kaslana family's gun-fu is done!"

Kiana nodded in agreement. Actually, she had never done that before. After all, she only dealt with the Honkai Beasts and had never used Gunfu to threaten ordinary people. But if she were to deal with an ordinary person, using Gunfu would be a piece of cake!

"Hmm...wouldn't we get a warning if we used machine guns to strafe and bombard artillery...?"

Heinrich was still hesitant, not because she was more serious or reliable than Kiana or Exusiai, but mainly because she had extensive experience in solitary confinement.

As special life forms, ship girls can easily defeat ordinary people with just their fists, and they generally do not use weapons unless there is a regional riot.

Human guns and cannons can't even penetrate her skin; she only gets hurt when fighting against the ship girl Sirens.

"...We're going to buy things, not to rob."

Seeing that the three of them were all unreliable, Li Chaoge shook his head speechlessly.

If they weren't all pretty and cute young girls with naturally deceptive appearances, they would be even more thuggish than bandits, resorting to guns and cannons whenever they were in trouble.

And the Kaslana family's gunfighting techniques, and artillery bombardment... well, I didn't really expect much from them anyway.

"hehe......"

Bronya smiled at the three of them without saying anything; these three were definitely here to make people laugh.

So Mei is just stupid. Most of her peers are idiots, yet she doesn't seize the opportunity to get out and cultivate a relationship with the captain to deepen their connection.

Although they were able to accompany the captain because they won the lottery and wouldn't be stopped by others, that's not a problem. Kiana or she could switch with Mei. They could discuss it amongst themselves and switch, and then it would be their turn again when Mei draws the lottery next time. No one else could say anything then.

Unfortunately, Mei didn't want that opportunity.

It's frustrating that three out of the five spots ended up in the hands of those idiots like Exusiai, Heinrich, and Hikiana.

"Ying, why aren't you saying anything?"

Kiana and Exusiai were chatting away, and Li Chaoge, who had given up on them, looked at Ying, who was barely speaking, beside him.

Aside from Qingge's appearance, which might trigger a bit of jealousy and lead to more talkativeness, Ying speaks relatively little in front of others, maintaining her quiet and reserved image.

However, when you go out to have fun, you should naturally have a good time, like Exusiai, Heinrich, and Hikiana, who are all smiles and laughter.

Ying doesn't need to worry about his image. He's seen Ying's scumbag side before, and actually, Ying is quite cute.

"It's nothing, I just feel that this kind of atmosphere is nice."

Ying gently shook her head, looking at Heinrich, Exusiai, Kiana, and the other two getting along well, and sighed softly.

Her purpose in coming out was different from the others, after all, she and her brother were now the closest family members.

Her main concern was preventing Qingge from doing anything to her brother behind her back that she didn't know about. Now that Qingge wasn't around, she had no interest in competing for favor with others. Her sister was her brother's closest family member, and she didn't need to lower herself to compete with others.

"As the younger sister, you should be more lively and not look like you've seen through everything."

Li Chaoge reached out and touched Ying's golden hair, smiling slightly.

In truth, he didn't know what to say. In terms of lifespan, Ying's was many times longer than his, and she had traveled extensively and learned far more than him.

Aside from being recognized as Ying's older brother, he doesn't act like Ying's older brother at all, and even his appearance is very different from Ying's.

However, since Ying firmly believes that he is her older brother, he will care for him in the same way.

Qingge is like this, and so is Ying.

Regardless of whether they were his biological sisters or not, from the day they started calling him "brother," from the moment he accepted them, he became their brother.

"Okay, my dear brother~"

Li Chaoge's familiar smile made Ying's eyes daze for a moment, then she came back to her senses and looked at him softly.

Sometimes, she wished her brother wasn't always so good to her. Right now, she had no power at all, yet Qingge was so good to her brother, completely disregarding her own feelings.

Once the older brother gains power, his charm will no longer be limited to the subtle interactions between them. Without needing to develop feelings over time, he can showcase his charm by rescuing damsels in distress, attracting one love-starved guy after another.

Li Chaoge stroked Ying's smooth golden hair, when he suddenly felt his phone vibrate several times in his pocket. He withdrew his hand, took out his phone, and checked the messages.

After looking at it for half a minute, Li Chaoge put away her phone and said to them, "Qingge sent a message saying that they got the day after tomorrow off. The day after tomorrow is Wednesday, so they can take three days off, plus the two days off over the weekend, so they can go out and play with us for a total of five days."

Although it doesn't actually take five days including flight time, it should be enough time to have fun. After all, he's not planning to see every corner of Japan; he's just picking a few unique attractions to visit.

"Only five days off? That's so short?"

Upon hearing Li Chaoge's words, Heinrich's eyes widened in surprise.

"They're still students, it's not a holiday, so it's quite generous that they can take so much time off. Hmm... although there aren't many long holidays after they start working."

Li Chaoge tried to explain, but suddenly realized that his explanation didn't make sense at all.

Students at least have winter and summer vacations, and although they have homework during these vacations, after becoming working people, it's considered good if they can have holidays and go home to reunite with their families during festivals. Many people don't even get holidays on time.

"Heinrich, how long do you ship girls usually get leave? Where do you usually go on your days off?"

Bronya raised an eyebrow and looked at Heinrich, asking a question.

In some ways, the ship girls are just as outrageous as the quantum sea and imaginary tree in Honkai Impact. The Sirens, who share the same origin as the ship girls, are able to create different world lines as experimental fields to conduct various simulation experiments. Their consciousness can also be transmitted back to the mother body after the carrier dies. They can cause trouble and do stupid things everywhere without worrying about their own safety. They are simply at the level of super villains.

However, the ship girls who can fight against the Sirens use machine guns, cannons, and bombers, making it truly difficult to estimate their combat power.

Currently, only Heinrich, Ayanami, and Belfast have arrived as ship girls, so they don't pose a significant threat. However, given the sheer number of ship girls, they will definitely become strong competitors in the future.

Given that Belfast and the others hadn't revealed much about the port, she decided to learn more about the ship girls and make preparations in advance.

"When we're not doing missions, we're on vacation. As for where we go... we usually go to various ports in Eagle Union, Royal Navy, and Sakura Empire. It's fine for us to travel around during peacetime, but we're rarely allowed to go to the human world's inland areas."

Heinrich recalled and explained that the port's management of the ship girls was not actually strict, because everyone followed the rules. Only a few people who were more outgoing and wanted to cause trouble would be warned.

Yes, Heinrich is one of them. The main reason is that the lives of ship girls in the port are very mundane. They either do missions or rest. If they want to break the monotony, they have to find something to do.

"Just play around? Don't you guys have jobs or need to earn money?"

Exusiai was also surprised. Goodness, she was living much more comfortably than her. When would Kal'tsit ever give her such good benefits?

Although she felt the chances were slim, Rhodes Island's logistics were managed by Kroos, and even though it wasn't her money, every time money was used, it felt like her blood was being drained.

"The port provides food and accommodation, and they give us a monthly allowance. If we don't squander it, it's usually enough for us. If we still don't have enough to buy what we want, we can do more commissioned tasks, like being stationed at the oil field or maintaining merchant shipping routes."

Heinrich explained that because there was no comparison, she felt this situation was quite normal.

"We usually take turns doing commissioned missions. If we want to do more, we have to run around to see which port has more missions. Large-scale missions that require a lot of fleets to work together only happen every few months, but we can rest for a long time after they are done."

For ship girls who mostly do missions when they want to and play when they want to, a mere five days off is far too short. They only get such a short break when they are very busy.

"Boss! I want to be like Heinrich, with no work, free room and board, and a paycheck to spend as I please!"

Exusiai immediately looked at Li Chaoge and shouted.

She was utterly envious. Although she had a lot of freedom at Penguin Logistics, where she was armed and transporting dead, working when there was work and playing when there wasn't, they provided food, lodging, and even paid her!

The welfare levels are on completely different levels!

"Aren't you the one now? What have you done since you came here? You haven't even made me any desserts."

Li Chaoge glanced at Exusiai and asked in return.

Although he also felt that the treatment of the ship girls was outrageous, and that the navy was indeed rolling in money, he had never mistreated Exusiai after she came here.

"Hey, hehe, that seems so. I'll make it as soon as I get home tonight. After dinner, I'll buy some ingredients and make one for the boss! I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

Exusiai paused for a moment, then reached up and scratched the back of her head, giving an embarrassed smile.

It seems that's really the case. After all, this isn't Rhodes Island. There's no Kal'tsit here to exploit them. The Doctor treats them incredibly well. Rather than saying the Doctor exploits them, it's more accurate to say that they're the ones exploiting the Doctor here.

"Heinrich... are you sure that only a few hundred ship girls can do so much? Or is it that the consumption of ship girls is not high and they don't usually cost much money?"

Ying watched Heinrich hesitate for a while before asking her question.

Heinrich's point is that the ship girls control the sea routes and even have their own oil reserves, but there are only so many ship girls, aren't there?

Logically speaking, even if the ship girls are very strong, they would be too busy to handle sending people to every place, so how could they be so leisurely?

"We're not just a few hundred people who can do the work. We're the commander's direct subordinate ship girls, and there are many more ship girls below us."

Heinrich said matter-of-factly, "Akashi and the others developed ship equipment for human girls, didn't you know? I remember Exusiai saw the settings for those event storylines, and it said that ordinary human girls could wear the ship equipment developed by Akashi, didn't it?"

If there weren't so many ship girls, how could there be so many missions and so much free time for everyone?

"Uh, I did see those game crossover storylines next to Heinrich, but I thought they were just game settings and different from reality."

Realizing that those game settings were actually true, Exusiai began to think about it seriously.

The ship girls who keep getting stronger by using Rubik's Cubes... it feels a lot like the infinite evolution of the Sea Spirit in the Deep Sea...

Ship girls can even mass-produce ship equipment to expand their power. I wonder if they can directly wipe out the Sea Kings. I'll have to see if I can get the Doctor to recruit ship girls to help.

Chapter 164. Drawing Lots, Summoning!

These ship girls seem really tough to deal with; we need to reconsider our next strategy.

Bronya narrowed her eyes, looking at Heinrich and Exusiai without saying a word.

As expected, game settings are just game settings; many details are not written out, and there may even be significant conflicts between gameplay and story.

In Azur Lane, ships like Royal Navy, Ironblood, and Sakura Empire are flagship ship girls of their respective factions. As the highest-ranking officials in a country, with so many people under their command, it's impossible for them to personally handle every commission every day.

With so many factions, advanced technology, and ample personnel, the ship girls are capable of mass-producing ship equipment to equip human girls. Isn't that just like the Valkyrie Squad of Schicksal?

It's unclear whether the ship girls equipped with mass-produced ship gear or the Valkyrie squad is stronger.

Bronya rubbed her forehead vigorously with her snow-white fingertips, deciding to eat in peace and not think about these troubling things.

She's not the Bishop of Destiny, why should she care so much? Worrying so much won't give her any funding. Besides, even if the group chat is restarted, it won't involve the transmigration of factions.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. After a couple of moments, a waiter pushed a cart and brought in the hot pot broth and ingredients.

"This coconut chicken uses clear and sweet coconut water as the base, which makes it quite unique. Although some people say it's not good, I personally think it tastes pretty good."

After the waiters finished their preparations and left, Li Chaoge introduced them to the staff.

The biggest difference between coconut chicken and regular hot pot is the water used in the broth. While others use tap water, this dish uses coconut water, resulting in a different flavor in the meat.

Is this all coconut juice?

Heinrich looked at a plastic jug on the table, staring at the clear liquid inside, and asked.

"Yes, it's similar to the young coconuts we bought before. This hot pot uses the juice inside the coconuts to cook the food."

Li Chaoge nodded. The waiter had already prepared and was cooking the coconut chicken hot pot, but he also ordered an extra pot of coconut water when ordering.

He wasn't worried that the coconut water at the bottom of the pot might boil dry if it was cooked for too long; judging by how fast they ate, they would definitely finish the ingredients before it dried up.

However, once the hot pot is ready, we need to let everyone taste the broth first. If everyone only has one bowl, it will be too little, so we need to replenish it with some coconut water.

"Does that mean we can buy coconuts to take home and make this? Boss, remember to buy a few more coconuts when we go back tonight."
