So why prepare this thing?

And from its appearance, it seems that it was just bought, and the price seems to be quite cheap.

Huang Chen blinked, and seemed to suddenly understand why this girl had degenerated from a wealthy woman into an ordinary ship girl with a little money. If she continued to spend money in the same way, it would not be long before she would become a poor ship girl with little money.

He pursed his lips, but in the end said nothing, just nodded, "Very good."

After all, she is not your own ship girl, so why should you care so much about her?

He staggered back to the No. 2 yacht, while Harbin, sitting on the control panel, communicated with Ying Rui not far away. After confirming that all preparations had been completed, the two yachts left the berth one after the other and headed into the distance.

Huang Chen leaned on the sofa facing backwards at the stern of the ship, watching himself getting farther and farther away from the dock. The lush trees and the hurried crowds of people gradually moved away from him. The white ship tracks rose and disappeared on the sea. He knew that he was getting closer and closer to the small island in the port area.

After traveling day and night for three days and two nights, Huang Chen and his team finally saw the outline of the small island in the port area, the carrier-based aircraft that came out for reconnaissance, and the ship girls patrolling in the distance on the morning of the 19th.

"Bang!"

With a dull thud, Baltimore landed steadily on the stern of Unit 2. As soon as the girl stood firm, she excitedly waved to the side, "Welcome back, Commander!"

"Thank you for your hard work on patrol." Huang Chen smiled lightly and poured a glass of water and handed it over.

The girl took it with both hands, greeted everyone in the cabin, and then continued, "Commander, do you know how much we have built?"

"Has it been completed?" Huang Chen asked in shock. He had only not been back for nearly a month. Could the ship girl work so fast?

"Ah, that's not the case..." Baltimore scratched his head and then smiled, "But now there are enough houses for everyone to live in, and some of the impatient ones have already moved in."

"Ah, then we have to live on an empty boat!" Ning Hai on the side pouted and said.

In the previous port planning, the location of the Donghuang ship girls' dormitories had already been determined, but Ninghai and Pinghai had no idea about the specific style of the ship, and Haitian and Haiqi had no idea either. Harbin naturally had no say, so the plan was eventually shelved for the time being.

"Not really. Most people still live on the Windward because the noise from the construction on the island during the day is too loud!" Baltimore laughed.

The girl sat and chatted for a while, and soon the situation at the dock and the port became clear. There were many containers piled on the dock, and the company and Essex were standing on the shore waiting.

The berth was relatively clean, and none of the cargo ships from before were visible, except that the Windward had been moved to the side for some reason.

Huang Chen suddenly became curious, "Have all the things we sent before arrived?"

"They're all here. They arrived a few days ago, right?"

"What about that tree? It's an osmanthus tree. It was mailed on the day we left."

"It should still be on its way." Baltimore raised an eyebrow. "The logistics are slower than if you had just shipped it directly. I saw that the delivery dates for previous shipments were mostly four or five days."

Huang Chen nodded, watched the No. 2 machine gradually stop, then he walked down first and greeted Enterprise and Jiaozi.

The secretary nodded and smiled, asking everyone to take a rest first. Although there was an extra yacht, the girl was not surprised. Her eyes were calm until she saw Miyuki walking down from the new boat, then she finally became obviously confused.

Ruoyue had known about it for a long time. The commander had explained it in the telegram when he set out, but this girl...

The company's eyes were filled with confusion. Was this person picked up from the sea on the road? Why did another one suddenly appear?

Chapter 658: Dare to take Huang Chen's ride

Enterprise looked puzzled and ultimately said nothing.

After all, it was the commander who went out in person this time, and it took so long, and there were two more friends. It was normal, too normal.

The girl thought so and immediately smiled. She invited everyone to go to the lobby of the Windward No. 1 to rest for a while. At the same time, she leaned close to Huang Chen and asked in confusion, "Who is that new sister?"

"Who? Ruoyue? Yixian should have sent a telegram before, right?"

Enterprise shook his head and pointed to the side imperceptibly, "Another girl following behind Yubari, with long gray hair, who looks a little weak..."

"Ah, hi! She is Shenxue, a hitchhiker." Huang Chen smiled and then explained the girl's situation.

Enterprise listened silently and nodded calmly, but the look he gave Miyuki was even stranger than before.

Hitch a ride? Is Huang Chen's ride so easy?

The girl silently looked at Shenxue again, and estimated in her heart how long it would take for her to stay.

Everyone soon arrived at the lobby of the Windward. Due to the construction work on the island, there was huge noise and dust in many places, and the lobby of the Windward became one of the few places to rest.

Everyone rested for a while, and more girls knew that Huang Chen and Yixian were back, and they excitedly ran over from their rooms or playing areas to greet everyone.

At the beginning, there were not many people, and Huang Chen could still chat with the girls. Later, the crowd gradually filled the hall. The girls who arrived earlier were unwilling to leave, so they squeezed the hall full of people.

Enterprise reluctantly forced everyone to calm down first, then left Essex to arrange Yixian and the others' rooms, luggage, etc., while he took the commander to the office first.

Huang Chen scratched his head. "Fortunately, Dafeng and Chicheng don't know I'm back yet, otherwise they might not be able to escape."

"That's not a blessing in disguise." Enterprise shook his head. "Akagi is under Amagi's control, and Taihou used to watch over the commander from the Windward every day. But after receiving the telegram two days ago, they found someone else to transfer her away in advance."

"Uh..." Huang Chen was stunned. "Okay, I thought these two guys would calm down a bit."

"But it's okay. Commander, just rest in the office for a while and then go out again at lunchtime. They should be calmer then." Enterprise explained.

The two walked all the way to the office, and on the way, Enterprise also took the opportunity to introduce the current situation of the port area, how much construction had been done in the port area during the commander's absence, whether some infrastructure had been added, etc.

The most important thing is of course the construction of the port area. Due to the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, the construction period was delayed by about five days, but the foundation construction of several major residential areas and some of the buildings have been completed.

It is expected that the construction of all residential buildings will be completed in ten days, and the environmental improvement and interior decoration stages will begin.

In addition, there are two special buildings, one is the cafeteria and the other is the office building, both of which have been completed.

The cafeteria has been put into use, but the office building has not yet been occupied. It has only been renovated because they are waiting for Huang Chen to come back for the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

In addition to these hard infrastructure constructions, some soft infrastructures in the port area are on the right track. The first is the points system, which has been relatively complete and implemented in the port area.

Just as expected at the beginning, points are equivalent to currency, the currency within the port area, which can be stored, traded, used to purchase items, exchange materials, etc.

First of all, for every girl in the port area, basic living security does not require points, such as daily necessities for normal consumption, oil and supplies for combat, three meals and midnight snacks in the cafeteria, lecture halls in the accommodation club, library movie rooms, etc.

But if you want to go beyond these basics, such as seeing the comics that were just updated in Ningyang City yesterday, movies that are not included in the movie room, more oil and supplies, or even want to open your own small shop, you will need points to redeem.

Each girl has a certain amount of basic points every month, which is not much, but enough for them to accomplish some of their not-too-excessive ideas.

In addition, if you want to earn points, you need to work.

Any job is fine. Any job in the basic system, such as the cafeteria, lecture hall, patrol, duty, etc., can earn points.

In a sense, this is almost equivalent to a small ship girl headquarters, except that the commissions are replaced by various tasks.

But it is different from the KanColle Headquarters. The KanColle Headquarters will not give money to the Freedom KanColle every month, nor will it help the Freedom KanColle to make breakthroughs and strengthen.

In the port area, as long as a girl wants to and has met the requirements for breakthrough and strengthening, she can apply in the lecture hall and then make a breakthrough.

Yes, the breakthrough and strengthening of the ship girls are managed by the lecture hall.

This is the second soft infrastructure of the port area during this period, the department system under the office system. Now, under the office composed of secretary ships and commanders, there are various departments.

Currently, the department includes the lecture hall, logistics, operations, cafeteria, and scientific research, and the entire club is also considered a department. These departments have greatly relieved the pressure on the office.

Otherwise, the company might not be able to find time to pick up Huang Chen and the others today.

Although the changes were significant, Huang Chen understood the changes after a brief explanation from the company. He nodded with satisfaction, "Now everyone in the office will have some free time."

With such a plan, the work that Enterprise Tiancheng and the others need to do is the same as Huang Chen's before, which is more of just review. Unless there is something important, they no longer need to work all night as in the past.

Some jobs are like this. Even if one person works until he dies, he will never be able to finish them. But when the work is divided and everyone does a little, it seems insignificant.

"Our job is easy, but the commander's job is not easy." Enterprise smiled slightly, then pushed open the door and walked into the office.

"My job? No way, what other job do I have?" Huang Chen scratched his head and followed the company into the company.

The cab remained the same, and nearly a month had not seen any changes. Amagi and Nagato were sitting behind the long table, and when they saw him come in, they greeted him with surprise.

Although I had seen Unit 2 approaching the shore before, I didn't expect the commander to come up so soon.

Huang Chen also responded excitedly, but then his eyes caught sight of a strange girl sitting behind the desk.

Her long silver hair, lake blue eyes and pointed elf-like ears made her look quite dreamy, and her simple white dress also had a sense of ethereality.

She extended her hand and smiled softly, "Hello, Commander Huang Chen, I'm from Ningyang Headquarters. Just call me Albion."

Chapter 659 One link after another

"Ah, hello, hello!"

Huang Chen was stunned and shook hands with the girl. Tian Cheng explained, "My Lord, Miss Albion came here for the commander training. She was also the one who conducted the inspection mission in the port area before."

Huang Chen nodded, but suddenly felt a little strange. What did he mean by coming here for the commander's training? Didn't he say that he could go after he finished dealing with the girls?

He turned his head to look at Enterprise, but before he could say anything, the girl seemed to understand his thoughts and continued to explain.

"Well, Commander, do you remember the pirate rumors from a while ago?"

"Pirates?" Huang Chen nodded. The company had mentioned a pirate rumor when they came back from looking for the construction team in Area C1, but it was just a rumor at the time.

Later, he went to area C2 and never heard of it again, so he didn't pay any attention to it.

After all, there are actually quite a lot of strange rumors on the sea. Compared with humans, ship girls have extraordinary powers, but they are actually quite weak compared to the vast ocean.

The threat isn't limited to Sirens; storms, tsunamis, and the loneliness of being without human communication for extended periods are also extremely dangerous.

Therefore, all kinds of strange rumors have a very important position among people who like ghost stories and supernatural novels, and any kind of rumors are considered normal.

During previous voyages, Huang Chen had heard many times about things like sirens disguised as commanders, sea areas where one could not leave once entering, oil wells that would inexplicably gush out oil at night, and even ghost ports that appeared in the fog.

In comparison, the pirate rumors seem unremarkable, but from what the company said, it seems to be true?

"A week ago, a government ship carrying candidates preparing for the exam from area C3 was attacked." Enterprise paused and said.

"Attack?" Huang Chen was stunned. Was this done by pirates? That was the official ship of the KanColle headquarters, not just any ordinary ship. How could they do such a thing and still be considered pirates? This guy probably deserved to be called the Pirate King, right?

"It's actually not accurate to say it was an attack. The official ship did not receive any attack or damage, and the candidates and ship girls on the ship were not injured... The specific loss is that more than 50% of the meat products, desserts, cheese, beer and fruit wine stored on the official ship were lost." Enterprise raised an eyebrow and explained.

"Meat products?" Huang Chen was stunned.

Albion immediately added, "It's mainly meat products like sausages and bacon that can be easily preserved at room temperature."

"Ah, that's not what I wanted to talk about..." Huang Chen waved his hands, his face strange. "What about the specific process? Did a pirate ship intercept the government ship and then take away some messed up food?"

Albion continued, "The process... there was no process. It happened at night. The next morning, when the kitchen staff entered the warehouse, they noticed something was wrong and reported it immediately. The escort team of the official ship conducted a preliminary search but found no clues."

"Some people have mentioned seeing strange shadows beneath the sea."

"The escort team investigated and found nothing. Fortunately, no similar incidents occurred. After the official ship arrived in Ningyang City, the sexton reported the incident directly to the headquarters, who took it very seriously and dispatched expert military police to conduct an investigation."

"But so far, the only certainty is that the underwater shadows we witnessed that night are very similar to the pirate rumors we've heard before."

The elf girl said seriously.

Huang Chen also listened attentively, and then raised his own doubts, "What does this commander training have to do with it?"

"First of all, this is a very dangerous matter," Amagi said. "This happened on a government ship. Although no one was injured, the Kanmusu Headquarters cannot rely on the kindness of the enemy. If this happens again, the thieves will not only steal food, but how dangerous will it be?"

Huang Chen nodded. Although there was no danger this time, the whole process was actually very scary.

Without anyone noticing, the food in the warehouse disappeared. If the food could be lost, what about the valuables such as jewelry that people carried with them?

Albion continued, "So the headquarters dispatched four fleets to conduct searches in the sea area where the incident occurred, and also controlled the shipping routes."

Huang Chen frowned, "But this doesn't seem to have anything to do with commander training."

"Yes." Albion nodded. "Originally, this matter had nothing to do with commander training, until the headquarters discovered that the sea area where the incident occurred actually fell under the jurisdiction of a commander of a self-built port area."

"..."

Huang Chen was speechless. Such a big thing happened in his jurisdiction, but he never showed up from beginning to end, leaving the headquarters to investigate.

Albion was also somewhat helpless. The girl shook her head and continued, "Of course, this incident was unexpected, and theoretically it doesn't fall within the commander's area of responsibility. However, this incident has caused the headquarters to reconsider the issue of self-built ports. Therefore, the review of self-built ports and commander training has been temporarily suspended."

"The previously confirmed training session on August 25th will not be cancelled, but it will be the last one. No one knows when the next one will be."

"I see." Huang Chen nodded. "The 25th, and today is already the 19th. Considering the schedule and some preparations, I have to leave tomorrow, or even the day after tomorrow?"

"So it's a good coincidence that Commander came back. If you were any later, you might not have made it to this last training class." Enterprise said with a smile.

Huang Chen touched his chin, but felt a little uncomfortable. He had just come back and his bedding was not even warm yet, and he had to run out again.

But then again, New Jersey, Benson, and Bismarck are all waiting for him to come over.

In fact, he couldn't stay in the port area for too long, but no matter what, two or three days would be too rushed!

"I see." Huang Chen shook his head and then muttered softly, "Then let's set off the day after tomorrow. We can arrive on the 22nd, find a place to stay, and take care of some preparations... Then we can go see New Jersey first? As for the other girls, send a telegram first..."

He planned this for a while, then, as if adjusting his mood, he smiled and raised his head, "Then let's do this. Let's finish the commander training as soon as possible and officially become a commander sooner rather than being this half-baked person now."

Nagato sat obediently in his chair and said seriously, "If you are just a half-baked commander, then there will be no normal commanders in the world."

"You can't say that." Huang Chen shook his head, suddenly remembering something. "I'm about to officially become the commander, so should we give this island a name? We can't just keep calling it a small island, right?"
