Huang Chen buried himself in the soft soil and said gloomily, "So you were serious about your previous thoughts? I need to emphasize that although the process was a bit brief, I really like everyone. I just... don't have any experience."

Hearing this, Algeria burst out laughing and let Huang Chen go. Huang Chen felt a little regretful and listened to the girl continue, "Commander, you have no experience?"

Huang Chen also felt that the words were a bit subtle. He now had so many ship girls and so many marriage ships, and he said that he had no experience. Then, was there anyone else in the world who had experience?

However, in reality, he had no experience with the emotions of so many shipgirls, so he could only deal with it instinctively.

Huang Chen shook his head and said seriously, "I really don't have any experience. With so many people..."

Algeria paused, "Actually, none of this matters. As long as everyone knows that the Commander is sincere, that's all that matters."

"Don't you all know whether I'm sincere or not?" Huang Chen asked in confusion. As a ship girl, blessed by the sea, she was naturally sensitive to human emotions.

Not to mention that it's a perverted ability equivalent to mind reading, there is no problem in judging the emotions behind a sentence.

"Of course I know the Commander is serious." Algeria looked aside, her face suddenly flushed. "But I'm also an ordinary girl. Even if we can't have a formal occasion, at least a date or something should be considered as a preliminary step, right?"

"Of course, can you wait?" Huang Chen spread out his hands. "For example, why don't you accept the ring today? Let's go for a walk around the commercial street, and then find a suitable opportunity for a date alone. Repeat this several times until the emotions are brewing and then give the ring."

"That's not what I meant, it's just..." Algeria frowned and looked at Huang Chen, "Commander, don't you think today's process is a bit hasty?"

"It's a bit hasty, but there's nothing I can do about it." Huang Chen said helplessly, "You've already brought up the topic, what else can I do?"

Algeria blushed and looked away, "Even so, even so..."

Huang Chen let out a long sigh and said nothing more. He stepped forward and grabbed the girl's hand, "Let's go back to the boat."

Algeria paused, then followed Huang Chen silently. "I'm serious. Commander, it's really not okay to give out rings like this. Do you think you'll give them to people just by saying 'I like you' in front of you?"

"if not?"

"Hmm?" Algeria raised her eyebrows immediately. "That definitely can't be the case. There are so many people in the harbor who like the Commander. If they knew it was so easy to get the ring, they would definitely line up here to express their love for you. Even those who don't really want the ring would probably come to the Commander. Don't let it go to waste."

"Don't talk like you're getting a bargain, okay?" Huang Chen said with a helpless smile.

"It's really a bargain. This is a ring. Does the commander just want to give out the ring but not take responsibility?" Algeria frowned.

"of course not."

"In that case, I suggest Commander that you don't give the ring away so easily, otherwise it will really be troublesome. At least set a limit, like one or two rings a week or something. And don't miss out on dates or anything like that."

"Oh." Huang Chen nodded. "Then return the ring to me first. I'll give it to you when we go on a date next time we dock."

"No, Commander, I'm serious. Why won't you listen?"

"Are you considered to be destroying the bridge after crossing it?" Huang Chen did not answer, but said instead.

Algeria shut up and stopped talking, shaking his head with an expression that said, "A rotten tree cannot be carved, a child cannot be taught."

The two of them walked towards the Windward in silence, and at the same time, they slowed down their pace in tacit understanding.

"Commander Huang Chen?" Someone suddenly called out from the side.

Huang Chen turned his head and saw a vaguely familiar figure, but he couldn't remember who it was. Algeria beside him said in surprise, "Minister Pennsylvania?"

"Huh? Algeria is here too?" Pennsylvania looked to the side and said in surprise.

"What?! Didn't you even see me?" Algeria's eyes widened in disbelief. "We're friends, right? I even visited you at your office at noon and brought you some fruit."

"Really?" Pennsylvania's eyes widened again. "Wasn't it Dunkirk before?"

"Wasn't I with Dunkirk?"

"is it?"

The two girls stared at each other for a long time, but Pennsylvania finally laughed and waved her hands, "Oh, it was just a joke."

"That joke isn't funny," Algeria sneered.

Sister Bin didn't care and nodded to Huang Chen, saying, "Commander Huang Chen, long time no see. The captain of the military police was talking to me about you yesterday."

"Ahaha, that was an accident, an accident." Huang Chen showed a somewhat embarrassed smile.

Sister Bin also shook her head. "I'm just saying, even though I've only met you once, I really believe in Dunkirk. There's no way her commander is a pervert."

Algeria, standing by, hesitated to speak. The Commander's personality had indeed improved, but judging solely by his past behavior, he was a complete pervert. Even now, it was difficult for him to escape the label of a lolita-loving person.

Huang Chen laughed dryly and nodded without saying anything more.

Sister Bin didn't care and continued, "Isn't that big ship at the dock yours?"

"Yes." Huang Chen nodded.

"That's great!" Sister Bin showed an envious look. "That's great, what a beautiful boat! I want to buy one when I have the chance. Of course, it can't be as big as yours. I can't afford it. I want something smaller, but it has to be a cruise ship."

"That might be hard to buy. Such small cruise ships are rare nowadays." Huang Chen shook his head.

Sister Bin suddenly felt quite regretful, but she still muttered, "Maybe there are some inland rivers and lakes."

"Maybe." Huang Chen nodded, thinking about his previous life, there were indeed some cruise ships of medium size sailing on the river, but most of them were tourist ships. Passenger ships were rare in his time, but he had heard that they existed.

If you think this way, maybe this world will exist.

"I must go to the inland if I have the chance in the future." Sister Bin nodded, then looked at Huang Chen and suddenly said, "I remember you are very interested in storage computers?"

"Huh? What's wrong?" Huang Chen turned his head in confusion.

"It's like this." Sister Bin walked forward, leaning close to Huang Chen, and said in a somewhat flattering tone, "You know my friend in Area A, right? He's the one who sold the storage computer to me."

"I know." Huang Chen raised his eyebrows and immediately understood what Sister Bin wanted to say.

As expected, the girl immediately continued, "Recently, their laboratory has made new progress, so..."

"You want me to buy a computer too?"

"What is a computer?" Sister Bin asked in confusion.

"It's a computer. Do you want me to buy one too?" Huang Chen said.

Pennsylvania Faria nodded expectantly.

However, Huang Chen was a little hesitant. In today's world, computers can't even play Spider Solitaire. What's the point of buying it?

It’s better to wait for it to develop. I saw in a science fiction novel I brought back from Area A in Kaohsiung last time that the seeds of the Internet had already appeared there. That was a novel written a few years ago, and I don’t know how it is developing now.

Seeing Huang Chen's hesitation, Sister Bin immediately continued, "I heard that their storage computers have been upgraded. They no longer need a whole room like before. About half a room is enough. And the price is much cheaper."

Huang Chen shook his head silently. Was this a matter of space and price? Besides, there wasn't really any difference between occupying a whole room and half a room now, right?

As for the price, to be honest, he is not short of money in the current port area.

However, he still felt that there was no point in buying a computer now. At least he had to wait until the prototype of the Internet appeared.

However, Sister Bin Haibian was unwilling to give up and continued, "Also, I heard that their computers can now be connected together to exchange data. Yes! That's the network you mentioned before, right?"

"Internet?" Huang Chen's eyes finally lit up when he heard this.

"It's probably about the Internet. I don't really understand it, but I heard them say that if you buy a lot of computers at once, you can connect them all together and exchange data."

Sister Bin looked at Huang Chen's excited expression and immediately explained.

After listening to this, the latter touched his chin and nodded, "In that case, it is necessary to buy some."

Algeria listened for a long time, completely confused the entire time, having no idea what the two were talking about, whether it was computers or the Internet.

But he understood what he was going to buy, and immediately said, "Commander, are you going to buy that computer?"

"Yes." Huang Chen nodded, then looked at Pennsylvania, "I'll go back and discuss it with the secretary ship, and then... maybe I'll discuss the details with you in detail around dinner time. I wonder if you'll have time then?"

"I have time, so much time!" Pennsylvania said excitedly. "I happen to have nothing to do today. I'll wait for you at the dock. No, I'll go there right now."

The girl said this excitedly. Huang Chen, looking a little bit amused, comforted her, "Minister Pennsylvania, don't get excited. Don't get excited."

"How can I not be excited? This is a big deal!" Sister Bin still couldn't control her emotions. She looked at Huang Chen excitedly and said, "That guy sent me so many letters, they almost filled a book. Today he finally got the message... and finally sold it."

Huang Chen's face darkened, "I heard everything."

Pennsylvania seemed a little embarrassed, but didn't seem to care at all. He reached out and patted Huang Chen on the shoulder, "Commander Huang Chen, don't mind it. It was just a slip of the tongue, haha."

The two chatted for a few more minutes, agreed on a time to meet on the Windward, and then waved goodbye.

Huang Chen looked at Pennsylvania's departing back and said in a daze, "Do you think she came to see me on purpose? She doesn't look like she was just passing by."

However, no one answered. He turned his head and looked at Algeria. The girl was looking down at the ring on her finger.

"Are you still struggling?" Huang Chen asked.

"Huh?" Algeria came back to his senses, looked at Huang Chen and shook his head, "No, I just want to..."

The girl paused, looked at Huang Chen and said, "Why don't you leave the computer purchase to me this time!"

"Leave it to you? Don't you even know what a computer is?"

"Don't procurement officials have to know everything about the items they're purchasing?" Algeria asked doubtfully. "Just tell me how much the port area needs, Commander. I'll definitely get it at the lowest price."

"Besides, this computer can't be taken down so easily, right? I just heard Pennsylvania say it's her friend from District A. There are a lot of details involved, and I'm afraid it will require someone to keep an eye on it. I think I can do it."

"Now that you mention it, it's true." Huang Chen nodded, but still a little confused. "But why did you suddenly think of this? This is obviously the job of the secretary ship."

"So that's all a secretary ship does?" Algeria seemed a little surprised, but then smiled and said frankly, "I just want to be as close to the commander as possible. With this incident, I have a reason to be close to the commander, right? If you don't understand anything, you can ask the commander."

Huang Chen was suddenly at a loss for words. "What are you talking about? There's no need for that."

"Why not?" Algeria wondered. "The Commander is very busy every day, right? I can't find time to be alone with him without a valid reason. I can come out today, thanks to Dunkirk."

Huang Chen couldn't help but fall silent. Although he always thought he was fair, he had to admit that he was too busy to handle everything. With so many girls in the port area, even if he just said hello to each of them, a whole day might pass.

"I understand. Then you take responsibility." Huang Chen nodded.

Algeria smiled and suddenly reached out to pull Huang Chen into her arms again, "Commander, you're really cute! You're actually worried about such a problem!"

She pressed her face against Huang Chen's cheek, rubbed it, and then let out a comfortable hum.

Huang Chen was a little embarrassed by the girl's actions. After a while, he pushed Algeria away and said, "He's still outside."

He looked to the side. Even though he could be called an experienced driver, he felt a little embarrassed and blushed. For some reason, he always felt that Algeria's behavior just now was a bit like petting a cat.

"Commander, are you shy?" The girl gathered the silver hair by her ear and poked Huang Chen's cheek with her finger.

The latter waved his hand to open it, then walked silently towards the Windward.

It was already mid-afternoon, and the sun was no longer as scorching as it had been in the afternoon, but the two still walked under the shade of a tree, listening to the sparse chirping of insects in the bushes beside them.

There were people walking on the side of the road, perhaps they were commanders nearby, or they might be free ship girls living in the ship girl headquarters. Everyone was laughing and talking, walking along the road silently, and then they arrived at where they wanted to go, thus ending their short journey together.

Soon, Huang Chen and Algeria returned to the port area. Algeria returned to the room. He went to the cab and found Enterprise and Tiancheng. He told the two about the computer situation, and then handed the matter over to Algeria and told the two.

"No problem." Enterprise nodded. "It's that computer. Is it similar to the one I saw in the novel last time?"

"Almost." Huang Chen nodded, "It's in the service hall of the KanColle headquarters here. You can go and have a look when the time comes."

"Let's go check it out tonight," Enterprise said. "And... Pennsylvania, come over after dinner, right? We can invite Kaohsiung... Atago along for the discussion then. They used to be in Area A, so they might know something about this."

"And Akashi and Shiranui." Tiancheng added, "These two kids are quite talented in buying and selling things."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Huang Chen found a stool and sat down. "Then I don't have to go then, right? You guys can just discuss it."

"You're not going? If you don't go, you won't buy anything." Enterprise laughed at the side. "You want to buy something, so how can you not go?"

Huang Chen was just saying it casually. After all, he was the one who wanted to buy it, so how could he really not go? He leaned back in his chair and looked at the clock hanging on the wall. "It's almost time for dinner, so let's go..."

"Oh, right." Huang Chen was interrupted by the enterprise before he could finish his words. The latter took out a stack of documents and placed them in front of Huang Chen. "These are the application forms from the past two days. You haven't signed them yet."

"What are these..." Huang Chen frowned as he flipped through the pile of documents. He found that most of them were applications for the expansion of functional rooms, and some applications for the purchase of equipment. "Haven't you already approved these? I remember that those things have already been purchased."

"But it still requires the Commander's signature. That's procedure." Enterprise said with a smile, standing up and calling his own Death to fly over his shoulder. "Then Commander, I'll go eat first."

"Master, I'll go ahead as well." Tiancheng also stood up and said.

Huang Chen just sat in front of his chair, flipping through a thick file, and said sullenly, "Let's go, let's go, it's better to go, it's better to go!"

However, he was not angry. He had been playing almost all the time these two days, but Enterprise and Tiancheng were obviously very busy.

The application for these functional rooms is only part of the job. The procurement of materials, storage, and related plans, as well as coordination with the docks and merchants, all these troublesome matters have been handled by the girls. So what if he is bullied a little now?

Huang Chen leaned on the chair and watched Tiancheng and Qiye leave. He casually flipped through the folder and made sure there was nothing important in it, so he put it aside.

After all, he is the commander. No matter what rules or not, he is the rules in the port area.

Leaving the cab and heading towards the cafeteria, there were still some girls concentrating on their own games along the way, but not many called the commander to come over and play with them. Everyone had experience and knew that no matter what, they couldn't get the commander to come over while he was eating.
