Huang Chen put down the various documents and followed the company excitedly. After taking two steps, he suddenly said, "By the way, regarding Mingshi's previous suggestion... choose one and proceed."
"Huh?" Enterprise turned around with some confusion.
"I just thought..." Huang Chen explained, "I just thought that Akashi has made such a great contribution to the port area, it's okay to be a little willful."
The contribution is indeed huge, even exceeding the total of the ship girls found before. Judging from the account, the various resources and diamonds contributed by Akashi directly multiplied the port's reserves several times!
I'm afraid that only Cleveland and others from Kaiyun Company can compete with them, but Cleveland has not returned to the port area yet, so their situation is still unclear.
"How did she get so many diamonds?" Huang Chen couldn't help but ask, "Will the things she sold be enough?"
According to the company, Akashi sold some of the equipment, boxes or accessories, but when Huang Chen looked through the list just now, he still felt that Akashi handed in a lot of things, and most of the things sold were probably low-level supplies.
Those materials can create such a huge wealth? It's a bit outrageous.
"It's definitely not enough." Enterprise shook his head. "I checked the list. She didn't sell anything valuable. She only sold some low-value items that were previously useless in the port. There's definitely not this much stuff, and it's definitely not the supplies and diamonds from the port..."
"So there is only one possibility?" Huang Chen still couldn't believe it, but as the saying goes, after eliminating all possibilities, the last thing left, no matter how bizarre it is, is the fact.
"She accidentally came across a ruin left behind by an ancient commander outside and received a reward after clearing the level?"
Enterprise paused, unable to control her expression. "Commander, what are you talking about?"
"Ah, no, it should be the ruins of an ancient ship girl...Haha, just kidding." Huang Chen shook his head. In fact, the answer was already obvious, "Those diamonds must have been earned by Akashi."
Enterprise nodded.
The two walked along the top deck to the elevator. There were still many ship girls playing next to the open-air swimming pool. They just looked at Enterprise and Huang Chen walking together, and didn't even invite Huang Chen to come over and play.
Huang Chen expressed his deep sorrow about this. As a commander, his authority in this regard was not as great as that of his secretary ship.
We took the elevator directly to the second floor below the waterline. If the first floor of the passenger area is regarded as the first floor of the entire Windward, then this is the second floor below ground.
The layout of the guest area is completely different from that of the passenger area. There are many more functional rooms related to ship navigation, mainly some small equipment rooms, etc.
There are a few rooms on the second underground floor, which were originally used as accommodation for the staff, but there are no rooms on the third and fourth underground floors, which are used to store various large equipment and fuel.
"There was a warehouse in front that could be used to transport some luggage." Enterprise explained, and the two quickly walked into a room.
Huang Chen was a little confused, "Akashi lives on the second floor below ground?"
"That's not the case." Enterprise shook his head, his face hesitant again. "After she handed in the equipment and supplies, she stayed in the warehouse and was reluctant to leave."
"This..." Huang Chen was speechless for a moment, "If she likes it so much, then why not let her carry it with her."
"Well... Commander, you go talk to her yourself." Enterprise explained, opening the door and seeing a relatively spacious space.
But now it is densely packed with all kinds of things, such as miniature equipment, black metal barrels containing fuel for the ship girls, and so on.
Enterprise walked to a corner and opened a relatively heavy door. Inside was another large space, but now there were only a few piles of dirty and rotten metal, and a small pile of blocks with a faint blue light that looked completely different from the surrounding style.
Then there is the green ship girl lying behind the Rubik's Cube, doing something unknown.
"Is this magic?" As soon as Huang Chen entered the room, his eyes were fixed on the small pile of blue cubes.
It was indeed a cube about the size of a Rubik's Cube, but it emitted a faint blue light like a fluorescent material, which reminded Huang Chen of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube in some movies in his previous life.
The Mind Cube itself is also a huge source of energy, but no related news has been heard in this world.
He looked at the pile of Rubik's Cubes, subconsciously took a few steps forward, approaching the Rubik's Cube, and even unconsciously reached out his hand to touch the surface of the Rubik's Cube.
It didn't feel as cold as I had imagined, but rather slightly warm.
Suddenly, there was a tremor, a connection above the soul. He didn't understand why, and then he heard Enterprise shouting, "Commander?"
"Huh?" Huang Chen came back to his senses, but only saw the Rubik's Cube in his hand emitting light like the sun, illuminating the entire room.
Is this going to explode?
Chapter 224 I didn’t mean it
The strange light of the Rubik's Cube made Huang Chen subconsciously withdraw his hand.
When he came to his senses, the light was gradually fading away. In just a moment, the Rubik's Cube, which had looked like a light bulb just now, returned to its normal appearance, still flashing a faint blue light.
Huang Chen blinked, confused.
"The Commander just resonated with the Rubik's Cube." Enterprise explained.
Meanwhile, Akashi on the side was a little bit annoyed and said, "I almost wasted a Rubik's Cube, meow!"
Huang Chen was stunned for a moment, muttering to himself, recalling what had just happened, "Was that the resonance with the Rubik's Cube? The resonance before it was built?"
"Yes." Enterprise nodded, "However, there are no standard resources nearby. If the commander wants to build it, it will most likely fail. If the commander really wants to build it, it is better to wait a few days. After arriving in Area J, you can go to the local shipgirl headquarters to exchange for standard materials."
"Meow, Commander is going to build again, meow?" Akashi widened his eyes pitifully, seeming to be very worried.
This guy was reluctant to go out for dinner last time, and now when he heard that Huang Chen might need to consume Rubik's Cubes for construction, he subconsciously became unwilling to do so. He is even more stingy than a stingy person.
Huang Chen shook his head, "I don't want to build it, I just..."
He grinned, but didn't know what to say. He had heard that the basic requirement for selecting a commander in this world was to be able to resonate with the Mind Cube and successfully build it.
This standard is vague and somewhat mysterious. What kind of person can resonate with the Mind Cube? There is no definitive answer.
The only people we know who can resonate with the Mind Cube are good people in the general sense.
But it doesn’t mean that good people can resonate with it. There is no definitive answer to this question.
Although he already has many ship girls and his port area is one of the best in this world, he has always been a little afraid that he does not have talent in this area.
Now there is naturally no need to worry. Huang Chen felt that a stone in his heart was put down, and at the same time recalled the feeling just now.
He closed his eyes and reached out to touch the mind cube in front of him again, feeling its warm temperature. Even though he had his eyes closed, the cube seemed to be glowing brightly.
At the same time, a vague connection came from the Rubik's Cube. He could clearly feel that the Rubik's Cube was in a critical state and was about to transform into an extreme.
But at this moment, it stopped as if it was about to be reined in.
"Commander?" Enterprise reminded.
Mingshi even wanted to pounce on Huang Chen and interrupt his movements, "Commander meow! Don't waste the cube meow! It won't work meow!"
However, it was stopped by the company.
"I know." Huang Chen opened his eyes, a hint of excitement in his eyes. The Mind Cube still emitted light like the sun, illuminating the entire room.
He lifted it up with one hand and held it high, like the Statue of Liberty holding up a torch, "Look, is it bright?"
"Liang... what's going on?" Enterprise's beautiful eyes were filled with confusion. "Has the commander started construction? How can he still talk?"
Mingshi also ran over and circled around Huang Chen, then he shook his sleeves and pulled out a handful of repair tools from nowhere. "Is there a problem? Commander, do you need some repairs?"
"Hey, hold her down quickly!" Huang Chen hurriedly dodged Mingshi who was approaching step by step, and at the same time shouted at Qiye to hold him down.
Then he explained, "I don't know exactly what's going on, but I think construction hasn't started yet?"
Through the connection with the mind cube in his hand, he vaguely felt that the transformation that was about to take place was construction, but now it stopped at the moment before the transformation.
"However." Huang Chen smiled slightly, "Don't you think this looks like a lamp?"
Enterprise shook her head helplessly, a doting smile on her face, while Akashi, who was pinned down by her hand, continued to struggle, "Commander, stop it, meow! The cube is going to break, meow!"
Huang Chen stared, inexplicably feeling that Mingshi's words just now were a bit subtle, but he still refused to put down the Rubik's Cube in his hand, as if he was holding a new toy.
It was just that the connection between the mind and the Rubik's Cube was cut off, and the glowing Rubik's Cube returned to its previous state, emitting only a faint blue light.
"This... I will study this for a few days." Huang Chen hesitated for a long time, and finally took the Rubik's Cube in his hand and said.
"Of course." Enterprise nodded, then asked, "Commander, would you consider building it?"
"Construction..." Huang Chen thought for a moment and didn't answer. Mingshi, who was still being held in Enterprise's hand, loudly refused, but her opinion had no effect. Enterprise nodded, "I understand. After the standard materials are exchanged, they can be used for other purposes."
Huang Chen played with the Rubik's Cube in one hand and looked at Mingshi again. Only then did he remember the purpose of coming here this time. "Um, Mingshi, can you..."
As he spoke, he suddenly hesitated. It felt very strange to suddenly ask a girl to take out all the money on her body, just because the girl had a lot of money on her and he wanted to see it.
Will the gendarmerie believe such a reason?
But he was still very curious and hesitated a little. Enterprise immediately understood what he meant and let go of Akashi in his hand. "Akashi, show me that again."
Akashi had been suppressed for a long time and had been struggling. He was still a little uncomfortable with his sudden breakout. When he heard Enterprise's words, he subconsciously asked, "What's the show, meow?"
Huang Chen laughed. Why are you talking like this now? "Mingshi means diamonds. So many diamonds..."
As he was speaking, he suddenly seemed to have thought of something. He pointed at the Rubik's Cube and supplies in front of him, as well as outside the room, and swallowed, "Are these all things brought by Akashi?"
Enterprise nodded, but Akashi put his hands on his hips, "Akashi is amazing, meow."
"Forget it, there's no need." Huang Chen shook his head, but he once again felt the power of the ship girl in his heart.
Although she looks like a short ship girl, the supplies and equipment she carries with her can fill up a large warehouse.
"The Vesta is also a maintenance ship, right? Can she do this?" Huang Chen asked curiously.
"No." Enterprise shook her head. "This may be Akashi's characteristic, but I remember that there is another ship girl in the Sakura Empire who also has a large storage compartment and can carry a lot of things."
"Is it Kashino? I have an impression of him." Huang Chen nodded, but suddenly noticed that Akashi's expression became a little unnatural, and he felt some guesses and doubts in his heart.
"Speaking of which, Mingshi, I've been wanting to ask you before, why are you alone? Isn't there anyone else with you?"
Akashi couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into tears, "I didn't mean to, meow! I didn't mean to forget about everyone, meow!"
Chapter 225 Have you heard of Children's Day?
In a small coastal city a few dozen kilometers away from the K-area sea area, there is a small building near the coast.
It is located on a cliff, less than a hundred meters away is a steep cliff, and below the cliff is the turbulent sea water, which hits the coastal reefs from time to time.
The cold sea breeze blew past, bringing bursts of chill. The surrounding terrain was relatively steep. There was some sparse green grass and a winding path on the vast land. Looking along the path, you could see scattered buildings at the end of your sight.
Obviously, this building is quite far away from the built-up area in the city center. Few people would come to this place. There are no farmlands or pastures nearby, and it looks like a wilderness.
At first glance, this two-story building still looks impressive. Its simple yet meaningful appearance, the white marble walls and floors are still neatly laid out, and the European-style Roman columns still embody a sense of strength and dignity.
But if you look closely, you can detect some traces of history. The old walls have already turned yellow, and the corners are mottled and broken. The marble floor tiles corroded by the sea breeze have become bumpy.
In the cracks between the stones, tenacious wild grasses are growing vigorously, waving their slender bodies in the sea breeze.
Then it was grabbed by a slender hand and pulled out. This was a girl with a rather plump figure. Even when squatting on the ground, the tightness of her clothes showed off her beautiful body curves.
She has dreamy purple eyes that reveal a mysterious color, but she has strange little curved horns and cow-like ears on her head.
She was carrying a long samurai sword on her back, but the girl didn't seem to be good at this kind of thing, and she didn't care at all that the samurai sword was dragging on the ground.
He just continued squatting there, pulling out the weeds on the ground, his movements brisk and in tune with an unknown rhythm.
"Kashino, Akashi hasn't come back yet? Did something happen?"
Suddenly, a gentle voice came from the side. The girl squatting on the ground pulling weeds, that is, Kashino, turned around and said, "Ah, I'm sorry, Toriumi, I didn't notice anything about this."
The girl known as Toriumi simply shook her head, her long black hair dancing with it, her smooth strands dancing in the air. "It's just strange. Does it take so long to get to Area K from here? It's already been four or five days."
"She's selling things there again. She's always like this and can't learn any lessons from history." Suddenly, a little girl with short white hair walked out from behind Toriumi. She was wearing a black shirt and pleated skirt, holding a long samurai sword in her hand.
The golden eyes revealed a calmness and an indescribable aura, and there were small ears on the head.
"Maya, you're saying these weird things again." Toriumi laughed, shook his head, and subconsciously looked at the building behind him. "That shouldn't be the case. She's the only one going out this time, and Shiranui didn't go either."
Maya did not answer, but just looked at the distant coast silently.
Suddenly, her golden pupils shrank, "There's a ship girl sailing over there!"
The two companions also looked in the direction she was looking. On the sea in the distance, there were three small black dots sliding, leaving only a long white wave on the sea.
"There's no Akashi. It must be some other ship girl passing by." Toriumi stared at the three small black dots casually, and when he was sure that there was no Akashi, he looked away.
The distance is not close, but to the ship girl's sight, it is almost right in front of her.
"It's definitely not Akashi... but..." Kashino beside him also looked up, but had a different opinion, "It seems to be the sisters in Minato?"
"Minato's sisters?" Toriumi looked over again, this time prepared. He took a closer look at the three shipgirls' appearances and exclaimed, "That's Cleveland, Montpelier, and Independence!"
Maya on the side had already started to run, accelerating towards the coast, then took off into the air, unfolding her ship equipment in the air, but no ferocious guns appeared, just a change of style.
Then it fell heavily onto the water, stirring up waves several meters high. The white water column even submerged Maya's traces for a moment.
The next moment, the girl with short white hair broke through the waves and sailed out from the water column, leaving a white trail on the sea surface, and sailed towards the direction of Cleveland and the other two.
