She believed that everyone else would agree to this lottery, and even if Bronya from Honkai Impact 3 guessed her intentions, it wouldn't matter; everyone else would agree to the plan anyway.

Anyway, with the commander's compensation mechanism as a safety net, what if they get lucky? That way, more companions can come over.

The final result of the group members drawing lots should be that each party selects a few people they want to summon and puts them on a spinning wheel, and then summons them all at once after the draw.

She needs to think carefully about who to choose for the ship girls. People from Sakura Empire, Royal Navy, Ironblood, and Eastern Empire have already come, so Eagle Union should send someone too, otherwise Eagle Union will probably start targeting her in the port.

But deciding which ship girl from the Eagle Union to send is also a problem.

Enterprises? Essex? Bremerton? New Jersey? Anchorage? ...

Belfast, feeling frustrated and annoyed, parted ways with Li Chaoge and went to the kitchen alone to clean up the food cart.

Since none of the other ship girls who have arrived so far are intelligence-based, Belfast has to decide for herself which ship girl is better.

Perhaps she should find some slightly smarter ship girls to cause trouble. Her role is that of her master's personal maid, and it's not appropriate for her to do things that involve jealousy and rivalry.

Li Chaoge came to the living room on the first floor alone. Sigma, who was playing with Paimon in the living room, suddenly raised his head when he heard Li Chaoge's footsteps.

Sigma jumped off the sofa, barefoot on the floor, and ran straight to Li Chaoge's side. He opened his slender, fair arms and hugged Li Chaoge tightly.

"Dad, you're finally awake!"

"Good morning, Sigma, uh, I should say good afternoon."

Looking down at Sigma, who had rushed into his arms, Li Chaoge reached out and pinched her adorable, joyful face, then kissed her on the cheek.

Good afternoon, Dad!

Sigma replied with a smile, equally enthusiastic.

"Was Sigma waiting for me here all along?"

Li Chaoge glanced at the clock on the living room wall. When he saw Sigma, he knew what he had forgotten that morning. Last night, when he was putting Sigma to sleep, he had promised to have breakfast together and play a game with her in the morning.

It's already past 1 p.m., everyone should have finished lunch by now. He just finished breakfast, and Sigma must have been waiting for him for a long time.

"No, everyone said that Dad would take me out to play when he was going to sleep. I calculated that Dad would be waking up soon, so I came back to the living room early to wait for him."

Sigma shook her head. In fact, even if she wanted to wait here, no one would let her wait here alone. Even though Sigma wasn't Li Chaoge's real daughter, Sigma was indeed very cute, and no one would ignore such a well-behaved and obedient little girl.

"Sorry, I slept a little too long. I'll go play with you later."

Despite knowing that Sigma wasn't just waiting there, Li Chaoge still sincerely apologized.

As Sigma's father, he failed to set a good example by keeping his word, and he should apologize for that.

His own father was an ordinary citizen, as was Qingge's mother. Although they both loved him and Qingge and didn't want to, it was inevitable that they couldn't set a good example in some things.

For example, he would make grand promises to Qingge so she would study hard and do her homework, but after Qingge did so, he would fail to keep his promises for various reasons.

Although there isn't much of a problem with using the guise of doing what's best for Qingge—they genuinely want Qingge to have a better life in the future—it ultimately deceives Qingge, a child, from trusting adults.

This happened a lot when he was a child, and adults often didn't take it seriously, thinking it was a small matter. Usually, he would use his savings to make up for it for Qingge. Well... even if he couldn't afford some things, he could still make Qingge happy and stop complaining that her mother didn't keep her word.

This is also why he and Qingge have a particularly good relationship, even better than siblings. In front of Qingge, his words as her older brother carry much more weight than those of their parents.

Although Sigma is an artificial intelligence that exists only in science fiction, current scientific theories do not provide enough understanding of the brain. We cannot understand how the brain generates consciousness, or even determine the relationship between the brain and consciousness, or whether they are independent of each other. So how could artificial intelligence be realized in 0s and 1s?

But now that Sigma was standing before him, and she was indeed a living, breathing person, though her mind was still immature, he felt that to live up to Sigma's trust and to be worthy of her calling him "Dad," he had to set a good example and guide Sigma onto the right path.

There are some things he can't ask others to do, but now that he understands the reasons behind them, he feels he should do his best to do them.

“Yes, I received Dad’s apology!” Sigma nodded seriously in response when he saw Li Chaoge’s expression turn serious. “However, in my opinion, Dad’s health is the most important thing!”

"My dear daughter~"

Li Chaoge hugged Sigma with satisfaction and kissed her on her lovely face again.

He is truly blessed to have such a wonderful daughter.

But thinking about it carefully, having had such an obedient and well-behaved daughter, he would be driven crazy if he had a naughty child in the future.

"Hehe~ Daddy is also Sigma's good dad~"

Sigma shook his head with a grin, hugged Li Chaoge tightly, and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

Although there are many things she still doesn't understand after studying for a long time, she is absolutely certain that her father loves her.

"By the way, my dad's best friend, Paimon, is with me too, so I'm not bored at all while waiting for him."

Sigma suddenly remembered something and looked at Paimon, who was flying around with his arms crossed.

She was talking to her dad just now, and little Paimon, who claims to be her dad's best friend, kept flying around beside them.

"Yes, Paimon, she really is my best friend."

When asked about Little Paimon, Li Chaoge nodded in agreement.

In Genshin Impact, although Paimon is jokingly referred to as emergency food and has an external voice, it cannot be denied that Paimon adds a lot of fun to the Traveler's journey, and Paimon is the only one who has always been by the Traveler's side.

Paimon may be quite carefree under normal circumstances, and if he gets into trouble, he'll let the traveler take the blame. But in dangerous situations, Paimon will take things seriously and try his best to protect the traveler.

However, at this moment, Paimon crossed his arms, puffed out his cheeks, and glared angrily at Sigmar and Li Chaoge.

"You finally saw me? You call yourself my best friend, but you don't really respect me at all. I'm angry!"

Even though both she and Sigma were there, she only greeted Sigma.

I was talking to Sigma for so long, but I didn't even glance at her, while she was flying around beside me for so long!

"Uh......"

Li Chaoge never expected that Paimon would be so petty. Oh no, Paimon has always been petty. If anyone offends Paimon, Paimon will give them a nickname and might even mimic their speech.

Although he thought they were all quite cute and harmless.

"It was my fault for not speaking to you, Paimon, but I didn't mean to ignore you."

Li Chaoge thought for a moment, then released Sigma, held Paimon in his hands, and said with a smile.

"You didn't even look at me just now, isn't that ignoring me?"

Paimon turned his head away, refusing to look at Li Chaoge.

During this period, she actually spent very little time with the traveler; most of her time was occupied by this woman and that woman.

Although she wouldn't be jealous of those idiots who impulsively send themselves to travelers' beds, she still felt annoyed.

As the traveler's best companion, she should be cherished by everyone, but now the newcomer Sigma is more popular than her!

"You don't even respect me!"

"But Paimon, you've always been in my heart."

"Hmm, isn't that a bit unfair?"

Paimon was taken aback, his angry little face instantly froze, and he looked at Li Chaoge with some nervousness.

"Hehe, is this what Daddy meant by being shy?"

Sigma stared wide-eyed at Paimon, grinning as he observed the strange expression on Paimon's face.

Observing various human relationships is an important step for her to learn and grow into a true human being. Although Paimon doesn't look like a human, Paimon should be considered a humanoid creature.

"What is shyness? Can you eat it? I'm not like those girls who are easily fooled by Chaoge."

Paimon, hands on his hips, retorted angrily.

However, she felt a little resentful. She thought that Chaoge must have said these things on purpose to fool her. She couldn't be confused like those girls.

Like Ying, she had lofty ideals.

Ying wants to be Chaoge's best sister, so naturally she wants to be Chaoge's best partner.

"I wonder who got so full from the food Mei and Belfast made that they couldn't eat anymore."

Li Chaoge looked at Paimon with a smile and gently poked her soft cheek with his finger.

Like Heinrich and the others, Paimon was the kind of person who was good at nothing but eating. However, Paimon was too young to play like Heinrich and the others.

"Well, there's nothing I can do about it! Their food is really delicious, and it's free anyway, so what's wrong with me eating more!"

Paimon, in a fit of anger, glared at Li Chaoge again.

As your best friend, what's wrong with eating more? What kind of electronic payment system is this? She can't even store her own savings here!

"No, no, I'll have Belfast make some more for you later."

Li Chaoge smiled and shook his head, placing Paimon in Sigma's hands, and then hugging Sigma's soft and petite body as they sat down on the sofa.

“Sigma, what were you playing just now? Dad will play with you and Paimon.”

Chapter 184. General Thunder is Full of Confidence

The villa was quiet, without the noisy sounds of Kiana and the others. Li Chaoge suspected that they had gone to the countryside outside the villa to cause trouble.

It's unlikely I'll go to Chenge Pot. Although the air and scenery inside are fantastic, the space isn't very large now, there aren't many animals, and with the recent architectural changes, there aren't many places left to really have fun.

Li Chaoge and Sigma Paimon played some parent-child games in the living room until 3 p.m. when they heard the roar of a car outside the villa. At the same time, Kiana and Heinrich's voices could be heard outside.

"Huh? They're back?"

After putting down the toys they were holding, Sigma and the others, Li Chaoge led them outside the villa.

The gate to the villa was now open, and a row of delivery trucks were parked in front of it. Kiana and the others were carrying and unloading the building materials one by one.

The drivers stared in astonishment at the group of cute and pretty girls. How could they lift such heavy building materials so easily?! Most workers could lift these things, but they would prepare carefully and take their time. They did it so effortlessly, as if it were child's play.

When they arrived, they were wondering if the buyer would need to hire their company's loaders since the buyer hadn't hired any, and the delivery location was so remote. They wondered if the buyer would need to hire their drivers temporarily to help.

They had just seen a group of young girls at the entrance, and they thought this trip would have to be more expensive. But as soon as they parked, before they could even get out and discuss the price with the girls, they saw the girls open the truck bed and unload a bunch of heavy goods.

Most young girls have slender arms and legs...

Kiana and her companions ignored the shocked drivers and simply carried stacks of heavy floor tiles to the ground and arranged them neatly.

"Captain, you're awake! Wait for us, we'll get these things down soon!"

Kiana dusted off her hands and smiled at Li Chaoge, who was standing by the gate of the wall.

"Boss, I want a raise!"

Exusiai jumped off the vehicle, carrying a bag of cement, and shouted at Li Chaoge with a frustrated expression.

Unexpectedly, she had never done this before, even though she worked in logistics and transportation. Now, she's here at the PhD program and has to carry cement.

"...Adding dishes to dinner is fine, but a raise is not."

Li Chaoge looked at Exusiai speechlessly, then at Kiana, and decided to target Exusiai again that night.

Didn't you see that no one else said anything? There's no way we can get a raise, but we can definitely have extra meals at night.

"Tch~ Do you really need to add more dishes, boss? They've made so much food, it's not like I'm not full."

Exusiai had no idea that Li Chaoge was plotting how to deal with her again, so she just pursed her lips and continued working.

Actually, she was just joking when she asked for a raise. Since she came here, the doctor has never mistreated her. Although he didn't let them spend money recklessly, he never refused her when she wanted to buy something. She didn't have to worry about her salary at all.

But isn't this just a habit? As a working person, how can you be considered a qualified working person if you don't think about asking your boss for a raise?

"Master, you can leave this to us."

Belfast, who was guiding everyone to place the items, walked to Li Chaoge's side and whispered.

"Are these all the building materials we ordered?"

Li Chaoge shook his head, looked at the row of trucks loaded with building materials, and asked Belfast.

Although he had taken Sigma and the others to place the order, the specific quantity was determined by Belfast and the others, and he wasn't sure if so many building materials would be enough.

Logically, building and decorating a few houses would be enough, but what they want to do is Qingqiong Island and Luofu Cave, and later Cuidai Peak will appear, and even the spatial boundaries of Chenge Pot will continue to expand.

These places may not seem big when you're running around, but they would actually be very large if built as residential areas.

Imagine a typical football field; if housing were built on an area far larger than that, you'd have to walk quite a distance just to use the restroom, and that would give you an idea of ​​just how big it would be.

"Two batches were delivered this morning; this is from another company."

Are these three batches all of them?

"Yes, the basic construction and decoration are enough, and we have left enough space to move around."

Belfast explained that even if all these things were added together, it wouldn't be enough to complete the entire arrangement in the Dust Song Pot, but they weren't aiming to do it all at once.

They can do what they want first, and add more later; they have plenty of time.

"Ah That's good."
