There is a small hill in the south of the city. Halfway up the hill is an old city area. The houses are low and compact, the streets are crowded, and the alleys are connected together to form small paths for the neighbors to travel. It was also the only way to go up the mountain in the past.

However, since a new road was built two hundred meters away, few people have been traveling on this path.

It was almost dusk, and the dim light fell between the bricks and stones, falling on a figure with short black hair and wearing a simple black coat.

Her face looks very young, and can even be described as still delicate, youthful and beautiful, but her slow movements make her look like an elderly person.

"The letter from the academy, probably from Musashi... Let's go back and read it."

She was carrying some sundries and envelopes in her hands, and slowly stopped in front of a shop with a sign that read "Dongxiang Model". She looked up, but was suddenly stunned by the mail receipt notice posted on the door.

"Why is there still a letter? Did the post office make a mistake?"

Chapter 682 Good Omen

The early morning sunlight was still sparse, but outside the construction room, it was already crowded and bustling.

On the spacious marble square, five formations stood in neat rows. These were all new commanders who had gone through many hardships and passed the written test on the 10th, then the interview on the 17th, and naturally received the admission letter. After enjoying a two-week vacation, they finally arrived at the academy yesterday.

With bumpy and uneasy expressions on their faces, they waited for and welcomed an event that was extremely important to any commander.

They may have tried various metaphysical schemes, experimented with a lot of information, true or false, and experienced a lot of methods heard from others, and thought they were fully prepared and confident.

But when they actually stood in this square and truly experienced the grandeur of the construction room and the atmosphere of the Commander Academy, some important meanings that were usually hidden under small talk and jokes resurfaced.

Before today, they could still say they were ordinary people who needed to be protected. But soon, when they walked out of that door, they would truly become commanders, people who would protect others.

From being cared for to being the one who protects others, from living a peaceful life to being the one who carries heavy burdens forward.

This change made them unconsciously feel heavy-hearted and the atmosphere became depressing.

In the corners of the square and other empty spaces, there were many people standing there watching the fun. Most of them were older students, and they were always accompanied by a young and beautiful ship girl.

Compared with the serious and dull atmosphere in the square formation, they seemed much more cheerful. Some of them even held melon seeds and peanuts in their hands, with soda beside them, and chatted casually with their companions.

"Do you think there will be any golden skins this time?"

"There must be a gold skin. Why don't you guess what it is? I guess it's Battleship."

"Your guess is too conservative. How about guessing who took the longest to build? I'm guessing it's student number 066."

"Aren't you number 66? What kind of metaphysical method is this? Could it be that you can share the luck of a freshman with the same number?"

Huang Chen followed New Jersey through the crowd, listening to the various chats of the people around him, and felt it was very exciting. Along the way, he had already heard of several metaphysical methods.

"Well, it's a construction conference." New Jersey is used to it.

The two walked to the place where the training class gathered, which was in the corner of the square formation. Musashi stood at the front. Her height was considered tall among both ship girls and commanders, and with the fox ears on her head, she stood out from a distance like a landmark.

He and New Jersey walked silently to the end of the line without making any noise. Musashi seemed to notice the two of them, but he only nodded from a distance and said nothing.

Construction began soon. An electronic screen in front of the construction room showed ninety-nine, which meant that students with student numbers 000 to 099 had to go in for construction.

Sure enough, there was a noisy sound coming from the front soon, and half of the people in the first phalanx disappeared all of a sudden and went into the construction building.

"It's very quick. Usually it takes about twenty minutes for people to start building it." New Jersey explained.

Huang Chen also stood on tiptoe to watch and listen. As the first group of builders came in, the square suddenly became more lively as if a fire was ignited.

Everyone was discussing who would be the first ship girl to appear, who would be the commander, and how many European and African people would be among the newcomers.

Although no commander has completed the construction yet, the atmosphere on the scene has already reached one climax after another.

The old students and seals couldn't wait to start showing off the boats and to ridicule the new students.

Suddenly, the numbers on the display at the entrance of the construction building jumped.

鏉ヤ 钖楋纻

The air around became cheerful at first, but then it instantly condensed as if it was blown by cold air.

Generally speaking, the type of ship girl built is related to the construction time.

The more powerful and rare the ship girl is, the longer it takes to build. For example, those powerful battleships require more than six hours to build.

As for destroyers and light cruisers, it usually takes dozens of minutes, less than an hour.

At the same time, even the expulsion has different construction times. The white expulsion may take more than ten minutes, while the rare and powerful expulsion may even take nearly an hour.

So when everyone expected the first commander to finish construction and walk out the door early, they were actually expecting him to only build a white destroyer, just an African.

But the current situation is obviously not what everyone wants.

The first commander came out in less than thirteen minutes.

What kind of ship is Thirteen Minutes?

In short, it is definitely not an expulsion. The shortest expulsion takes nearly twenty minutes to build.

Everyone stared intently at the entrance of the construction building, and soon a female commander with a delicate appearance came out, and beside her was a girl of about the same height as her.

She had long black hair with a few white strands, and a large mask covered half of her face, revealing only her calm red eyes.

He was wearing a commander's uniform, so his clothes couldn't be seen clearly, but through the gaps in the clothes one could vaguely see the black racing swimsuit underneath.

This is a submarine!

"U471!"

Someone in the crowd recognized her name and shouted in panic.

Submarine, and a super rare submarine at that!

This is not good! The first place in this construction competition is a lucky guy!

Some senior students who thought they were not strong enough felt some crisis and secretly took their ship girls away, while other senior students who thought they were quite strong had an interesting smile on their faces.

The construction conference has just begun, but the scene is already very lively.

After Musashi settled the commanders of the training class, he looked up to see where the academy director was and slowly walked over. "It looks like a good sign."

"Indeed." The silver-haired dean nodded slightly. "Not only the first student, but also two students followed, both submarines. Such a ratio is very rare."

Musashi was a little surprised. She was busy arranging the training class and only noticed the first commander who came out. She thought it was a good sign, but now it seems that it is not just a sign.

"I have a feeling the results of this construction will surprise everyone." The dean turned around and said with a half-smile, "Be prepared, the number of students in your department may increase several times this year."

Musashi paused and was about to say that there was New Jersey, but then he immediately remembered that New Jersey had already resigned.

She subconsciously looked back, trying to find Huang Chen and New Jersey in the crowd, but unexpectedly found nothing.

What about people?

Musashi was a little puzzled, but quickly looked away.

She planned to talk to the directors of the destroyer department and the light cruiser department. By then, there would be more battleship commanders, so they would have some free time, right?

Chapter 683: Treatment on the Podium

The square in front of the building was bustling with people, but just a few dozen meters away, the tree-shaded path on the side of the building was as empty as usual.

The bustling atmosphere was cut off by an invisible barrier and stayed at the street intersection, while the atmosphere inside seemed quiet and peaceful.

A breeze blew by, and Huang Chen inexplicably shrank his neck and tightened his clothes. "It's a bit cold."

"Honey, you need to exercise more." New Jersey squeezed against him, the two of them pressed together, "It's only September."

"It's not September anymore, it's already completely autumn." Huang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much better. Perhaps it was because he had just walked out of the bustling crowd that he felt a little cold.

He looked up at the roadside. The construction building had only two floors, with a hundred construction rooms lined up together, extending back along the street and connected to a white hall-shaped building.

This made him wonder, "Is it so big to build a building?"

"The warehouse is in front. The construction room is connected to the warehouse for storing Rubik's Cubes and supplies." New Jersey explained briefly, then pulled him to a small door on the side of the building and went straight in.

The atmosphere in the construction building was different. Although one only entered through the side door, a quiet and low-pitched atmosphere still prevailed, just like an examination center where an exam was in progress, making people subconsciously lower their voices.

Huang Chen held his breath and looked towards a room not far away. There was a sign hanging on it that read Construction Room 47.

Through the glass window on the wooden door, you can see its internal structure clearly. The construction room is not big, and it is all white and clean. There is a sofa chair in the middle, a small table next to the chair, and an electronic clock hanging on the wall. These are all the facilities.

In fact, construction does not require too much equipment. The most critical factor in the entire construction process is the mind cube, and the other factor is the commander.

The so-called construction means that the commander uses his mental power to communicate with the Rubik's Cube and reach a resonance with it.

During this process, supplies and other items all play a supporting role. For example, sofa chairs allow the commander to be more comfortable during the construction process.

After all, the construction takes at least ten minutes and at most several hours.

Although the whole process seemed like a dream to the commander, remaining motionless for a long time would still have some impact on the body.

If the commander is building in his own port area, he can also choose to lie on the bed, in short, do whatever is comfortable for him.

Huang Chen stared at the commander in the room. He saw him lying quietly on the sofa with his eyes closed, while the mind cube placed on the small table was emitting a faint light blue glow.

"Let's go quickly."

Huang Chen spoke in a low voice, afraid of disturbing other people's construction.

"Honey, there's no need to be so quiet." New Jersey chuckled. "The doors of the construction room are very soundproof. It's okay for us to sing outside."

Having said that, it's not like you're actually going to sing and dance outside someone else's construction studio.

The two walked along the aisle, seemed to have made a circle, and finally climbed a few steps and came to a small, empty and open hall.

The window in front of the hall has a great view, and you can see half of the entire construction building. All the construction rooms are arranged in a C-shape to form a circle, with an open patio in the middle, which also serves as a small garden.

The hall is located opposite the main gate. Not only can you see the patio, but you can also see the commander coming in and out, the gate and corridor, as well as part of the construction room.

New Jersey pulled Huang Chen to the chair by the window in the hall and sat down, grinning and saying, "How about it, honey? This place is nice, isn't it?"

"It's really nice here." Huang Chen laughed.

As a location for visiting the construction conference, this place can be said to be treated like a rostrum.

The view is good, it is sheltered from the wind, and it is open and you can sit and rest. It is much better than the noisy square outside.

"Okay, honey, please wait a moment. I'll go get the snacks and drinks I've prepared." New Jersey stood up, but suddenly seemed to think of something and stood there for a long time without moving.

Huang Chen raised his head curiously, only to see New Jersey pursed his lips, then reached out and touched his head, and then left happily before he could react.

The construction conference has already started for an hour or two, and the whole process has reached a very exciting stage. Almost every moment, a commander completes the construction and leads the newly born ship girl out of the gate.

Some were destroyers, some were light cruisers, and some were battleship carriers. Some of the commanders were very excited, while others pretended to be calm, but none of them could hide their brisk or heavy footsteps as they walked out of the construction building.

Huang Chen initially thought that the construction conference was just so-so, and that watching others build something could never be as interesting as building something himself.

But I didn't expect that as I watched, I found that this kind of thing is actually quite interesting.

For example, now, a female commander is walking in the corridor below. She has built a rather handsome ship girl, who looks like a battleship. So she is obviously excited, her little face is red, and she follows the ship girl like a follower, asking questions.

Not far away, there was a male commander who created a cute little expellee wearing a yellow hat. The man was not listless, but at least his steps were heavy, and the expellees were circling around him.

The two commanders had similar compositions and huge contrasts, which made Huang Chen's mouth curl up.

"Ah, so many Rubik's Cubes..."

Just when he couldn't help laughing, a voice full of envy and sighing came from the side. Huang Chen turned his head and saw a ship girl with long dark brown hair.

She stood behind the bench, leaned forward and leaned on the backrest, with obvious envy and admiration in her eyes.

Huang Chen blinked and felt that the girl in front of him looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her.

She didn't seem to notice Huang Chen's gaze, or even if she noticed, she didn't care at all. She continued to sigh with envy, "There are so many Rubik's Cubes..."

"So many Rubik's Cubes?" Huang Chen turned around in confusion and finally understood what the girl was talking about.

There is a long table at the entrance of the construction building. Every commander who comes in to build will register there and then receive the materials and magic cubes used for construction.

In order to distribute the Rubik's Cubes, there was almost a mountain of Rubik's Cubes piled up behind the table.

Huang Chen had already seen a more magnificent Rubik's Cube Mountain in his own warehouse, so he was not surprised at all, and even felt that it was nothing special.

Now that she reminded him, he nodded and said, "It's indeed quite a lot."

"Yeah, it would be great if I could take all those Rubik's Cubes away." A dangerous look flashed in the girl's red eyes, and she sighed seriously.

Chapter 684: Wealth That Won’t Decrease

Huang Chen's eyes widened immediately, and he turned around and looked at the girl cautiously.

Did I hear something extraordinary?
