The slightly weird commander's ship girl tour

It was getting late and the food street was starting to get busy. It took Huang Chen ten minutes to ride his tricycle out of the less than 100-meter-long road and onto the busy street.

After walking along the main road for another ten minutes, the surrounding scenery gradually became natural, the traffic decreased, the houses began to disappear, and the streets became undulating.

Fortunately, the C2 area ship girl headquarters was not far away, so Huang Chen only enjoyed a few minutes of free kidney stone treatment before arriving at his destination.

He arrived at the door of the bicycle rental shop on his tricycle, but the door was unexpectedly locked. This made him scratch his head in confusion, "Today is not a day off."

He walked to the door, which was an iron gate. Through the gap he could see the scene inside the house, where bicycle parts and repair tools were piled up. It was obvious that this place also undertook the business of repairing bicycles.

Huang Chen called out a few times at the door, but still no one answered.

"Is the store closing so early? Or is it something else...? There's no notice at all." Huang Chen walked around the door twice, but suddenly saw a notice posted on the sign for bicycle parking outside.

"A shop for rent? Is that weird?" Huang Chen walked over and took a look, and suddenly felt a toothache. He could clearly say that this thing did not exist when he came here yesterday.

In other words, the notice was posted after he rented the car.

"It's already ready to be rented out. You should have told me earlier yesterday." Huang Chen grinned.

If he had known this earlier, he would have bought the tricycle directly. He didn't need the money. But now that he was renting it, he had to return it. Call it psychological mysophobia or call it awkwardness, Huang Chen couldn't pretend that this matter didn't exist.

Although it is already past the time, there is an essential difference between not paying it back and paying it back too late.

The notice only said that the property was for rent and did not provide any contact information.

This means that the people in the store have not left and are still living here. They must have just gone out temporarily for something.

Huang Chen thought about it and locked the tricycle aside. He planned to go shopping in the commercial street and come back later. If the person was not there, he would come back tomorrow.

It's impossible to be so unlucky that there's no one here every time I come here, right?

Thinking of this, Huang Chen strolled leisurely towards the commercial street. The big ship on the dock had already set sail, and the commander candidates who could be seen everywhere yesterday were no longer to be seen.

But the streets are still bustling with the bustling ship girls strolling, shopping and working, living like ordinary people.

After strolling for a while, Huang Chen came to the bulletin board. Since he had nothing to do, he went over to take a look.

Although only one day had passed, the bright yellow advertisements were already covered with a layer of dust. He started to pull at them to rescue his own flyers, but he accidentally used too much force and the old advertisement underneath, which was from who knows when, saw the light of day again.

Huang Chen had no choice but to give up. At least the pending commission was still there. Theoretically, if no one took it up and no one renewed it, the commission would remain on the task list for at least one and a half months.

Speaking of commissions, Huang Chen inexplicably wanted to go to the commission hall to see the situation. What if someone took it up?

"commander?"

Suddenly, an unexpected sound came from behind me. I turned around and saw a girl with long black hair, wearing a white dress and feather hair accessories.

Next to her stood a girl with messy hair, carrying a variety of things in her hands. "Old Huang? What happened to you? Were you forced to volunteer?"

"What a mess." Huang Chen was also quite surprised. "Didn't you go to Taobao?"

"Yeah." Zhenhai nodded. Harbin waved the things in his hand in front of Huang Chen, "How is it? I got something today."

"Great, great." Huang Chen nodded. "I returned the tricycle when I came out... Are you planning to go back now?"

He checked the time and figured the owner of the bicycle shop hadn't left yet, so he invited him, "How about some more shopping? It's still early."

Chapter 613 I May Not Be a Simple Eater Anymore

It is certainly interesting to go shopping on Taobao with those so-called antique shops.

It's also nice to go to some nearby villages and buy items with stories from people there, just like treasure hunting.

But as a ship girl, Zhenhai is most accustomed to shopping on Taobao in the commercial street of the ship girl headquarters.

Even if there is no gathering, there will always be commanders or free ship girls who are interested in antiques and various accessories and gather together to spontaneously buy and sell.

Zhenhai and Harbin went to the KanColle headquarters this time because they heard that a commander had found something interesting at the bottom of the sea.

I was quite interested at first, thinking that I would be lucky enough to have a good harvest before leaving area C2.

The result was just some boring stuff.

They were clearly just some scrap metal that had been soaking in the seabed for decades, and were not as good as Ying Rui's calligraphy and paintings in terms of artistic level or value, but they were said to be from the old world. Even Zhao He wouldn't believe such bragging.

In the end, I just strolled around the commercial street like taking a walk, thinking that this might be one of the last few times I would come to this ship girl headquarters, so I bought some souvenirs, but I didn't expect to meet the commander by coincidence.

"I thought there were real antiques." Huang Chen couldn't help but complain when he saw what Harbin was holding.

"How can there be so many antiques in this world?" Zhenhai shook his head. "Besides, if they were so easy to obtain, they wouldn't be worth collecting."

Huang Chen nodded after hearing this. There was no need to collect goods that could be wholesaled from supermarkets, unless your goal was to open a small convenience store.

Because Zhenhai and the others came out of the commercial street, the crowd did not continue to walk into the commercial street, but walked along the path towards the dock and office building.

I can also stop by to see how the commission is going later.

It was probably near the Mid-Autumn Festival. Although the weather was still hot at noon, after four o'clock in the afternoon, there was only bright sunshine that made people feel comfortable. The azure sea extended to the horizon, becoming indistinguishable from the sky, and swayed slightly in the leisurely sea breeze.

At the pier, yachts from afar would dock from time to time, and organized ships would set off.

Unlike ordinary docks, the docks at the KanColle headquarters are always easy to identify - the ships sailing in the port are almost the same in style, but have different decorations.

In addition to his duties of guarding the sea, the commander is free, especially in decorating his yacht, which is a way to express his personality and characteristics.

Even if you can only purchase yachts of the same style from the KanColle headquarters, you can still make certain appearance modifications after returning to the port without affecting its functionality.

Huang Chen had noticed this phenomenon before. The commander's ship always has a unique temperament, as dazzling as a firefly in the dark night.

But even though he knew it a long time ago, he still felt quite uncomfortable with this phenomenon, which was like using different skins for the same ship in the game.

"What a shame! If I had met you earlier, I could have taken you on a three-wheeled tour around the KanColle headquarters. I think it would be quite interesting."

He shook his head, focusing on the path and watching the bicycles passing by.

"Tricycle? Old Huang, why don't you reconsider?" Harbin grinned and stepped forward to put his arm around his shoulders. "Actually, I don't mind. Look at Zhenhai sitting on a tricycle and going shopping with you? Is that appropriate?"

"Uh..." Huang Chen was stunned.

He just said it casually, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed inappropriate.

Harbin is a carefree shipgirl, so it wouldn't be surprising if she were to do something like shattering a rock with her chest at the port gate one day. Charging into battle from the back of a tricycle might be a better fit for her style.

But Zhenhai is not like that. The girl has a calm temperament. She is not a general, but a counselor. She is a military strategist who can plan and win battles thousands of miles away.

"Actually, it's not impossible. It sounds quite interesting to take a ride in the Commander's three-wheeled car." Zhenhai said as if he didn't care.

"Forget it." Huang Chen shook his head and then complained about the store that closed down immediately. "I'll come back tomorrow at most. If I don't see them tomorrow, I'll just lock my car at their door and throw the key inside."

"What about the deposit?" Harbin let go of Huang Chen and took out a slightly oily brown paper bag from the pocket in his hand.

"No need for the deposit." Huang Chen waved his hand generously. After all, the deposit was not much, and it was not worth his trouble to run over there.

I once heard a joke that a certain richest man would not pick up a dollar he saw on the street because the time he would waste bending down to pick up the money could allow him to make more money.

Huang Chen was not the richest man at that time, and he found it troublesome to run back and forth just for the two hundred yuan deposit that he would hardly use.

"Then you can let Ning Hai come. As long as you give her the deposit as pocket money." Harbin smiled and handed over a brown paper bag. "Want to eat?"

"What is that?" Huang Chen sniffed and looked inside. It was a pancake with sauce on it. It smelled delicious, but he shook his head. "Forget it. I've been eating too much of Yixian's cooking these past few days. I can't eat anything else."

"Old Huang, your level is not good enough. How can you be so picky about food? As long as it is not hard to swallow, you should eat it in big mouthfuls." Harbin held the bag and handed it to his face again.

Huang Chen thought about it and realized that he was a glutton, so why was he being so picky about food? This was inappropriate. He immediately picked up a piece of food with a bamboo stick and handed it to Zhenhai.

He put it in his mouth, chewed it, and shook his head slightly, "Maybe I'm not just a simple glutton anymore."

Even Zhenhai couldn't help laughing when these words were spoken.

The ship girl headquarters in area C2 was not big. They walked along the path for a while, crossed the dock, and soon approached the office building.

Huang Chen looked inside and said, "Let's go check out the commission."

"Is that the recruitment commission?" Harbin was still eating the pancake in her hand. It was obvious that she was still a simple eater. "It's only been a short time. I haven't encountered anyone accepting commissions in other areas for such a long time."

"Since I'm here." Huang Chen ran to the counter excitedly and asked the female staff about the commission.

Harbin didn't go over, but found a corner to sit down and looked at Zhenhai. "What do you think? What plan are you thinking of?"

"Is there?" Zhenhai nodded slightly, his dark red eyes showing quite calmness.

Harbin suddenly shuddered and stuffed another piece of bread into his mouth. "You're just overthinking it. Let me tell you, to deal with Lao Huang, just go straight up and attack. I've seen several people do the same on the island..."

"Someone picked up."

"What?" Harbin was stunned, and even Zhenhai showed obvious surprise.

Chapter 614 Anyway, it’s good news

Huang Chen walked in front of the girls, his tone strange, his face showing obvious doubt and confusion, "I said, someone has taken up that commission."

Harbin was stunned and didn't react. Someone took it?

What does it mean when someone takes it over? What does it represent?

Zhenhai immediately understood, "Has a sister from the port area accepted the commission?"

Huang Chen nodded, then shook his head slightly, "It may not be a girl from the port area, maybe just a big boss passing by..."

As he spoke, he felt his thoughts were complicated. He had just passed by and took a look, and had not expected any results, but he did not expect that someone would take it over.

Although he has been complaining that the advertisement has no effect, it can't be like this now.

I just posted it yesterday and someone took it down today. It’s like someone has been watching and waiting for it. It’s a bit creepy to think about it.

"It's unlikely. It's difficult for the Freedom Ship Girls to reach a training level of 100." Zhenhai shook his head.

Huang Chen nodded, but still puzzled, "But you have lived in Area C2 for so long, have you heard of any other companions here?"

Zhenhai shook his head slightly.

Harbin was puzzled. "Old Huang, why are you so panicked? It's not a bad thing. If she is really your daughter from Hong Kong, you should be happy. If not, do you still need the money for the commission?"

"That's true." Huang Chen was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

The news just now came so suddenly that it made him a little panicked. Now after hearing what Harbin said, it didn't seem to be bad news.

"Did the commander ask who took on the commission and when?" Zhenhai recalled carefully again and found that there was indeed no clue of other sisters in Area C2, so he continued to ask.

"I don't know and I can't ask. I just know that someone has taken over the commission." Huang Chen shook his head. Seeing Harbin's puzzled look, he immediately explained the situation of his commission.

Because I will be leaving the C2 area soon, this commission does not require contact with the client like other commissions. It is more like an advertisement with quality assurance.

Huang Chen provided some travel expenses when issuing the commission. After the other party accepted the commission, they could collect the travel expenses and go to the port area in area C3 on their own.

So after he issued the commission, it seemed more...independent.

Even if he is the client, he cannot ask the female staff member who took the commission.

Because judging from the content of the entrustment, the entruster is not in the C2 area at all, but should be in the C3 area.

If Huang Chen were to ask now, it would be completely against the procedure: When you placed the commission, didn't you say that you would contact the client in advance?

It’s like buying a courier online. You only realize that the seller is downstairs after he has delivered the item. The courier company he uses is right at the entrance of the community, and you can’t run to the courier company to take the item home directly.

You can only wait for the courier to deliver the goods to your door.

It is the same now. Huang Chen can only wait for the girl who took over the commission to take the initiative to go to the port area in area C3 to deliver the goods to the door.

"What if she took the travel expenses and ran away..." Harbin couldn't help but guess after hearing this.

Huang Chen glared at her and said, "Do you think everyone is the same as you?"

"Why is it the same as me?" Harbin said indignantly, and suddenly felt a little depressed. If he could win, he would go out and fight him.

Zhenhai chuckled, "Anyway, this is good news."

Harbin suddenly laughed again, "Indeed, if it's really your ship girl, this is good news. If it's really another ship girl passing by... Old Huang, I believe you."

"What do you believe me for?" Huang Chen squinted his eyes at her with disdain. "If I were really like you said, you would have called me Commander long ago. Calling me Old Huang, Old Huang, is so noisy."

"Haha." Harbin sneered and continued eating while holding the brown paper bag.

Seeing the fun over here, Zhen Hai said softly, "Actually, we can look for her nearby. She accepted the commission not long ago and may not have left the KanColle headquarters yet."

Huang Chen nodded, but he was not as anxious as before.

It would be great if I could find her, but if I can't... the port area is not far from here. Since I have accepted the commission, I must go back to the port area. Maybe the girl will go back before me.

He pursed his lips, asked Zhenhai to wait for a moment, and ran to the counter to place a new commission - there was only one travel fee. In fact, before this, he had never thought that this travel fee could actually play a role. It was more of an accessory to make this commission look reasonable.

After all, the target of the commission is the girls from the Hong Kong area in the past, and most of Huang Chen’s girls in the past are quite wealthy, at least they are not short of money.

After living in this world for so long, as long as you don’t stay in the house every day, you can save money.
