The High-Tech Commander of KanColle

"Me? I'll just clean up the house, don't worry about it." Eugen said.

Ren Anhe looked skeptical: "Can you clean the house?"

"How rude! I can do what I want, okay?"

Eugen pinched Ren Anhe's cheek unhappily.

Ren Anhe spoke incoherently: "Thank you for your hard work, sister... Also, sister, you finally stopped pretending, so I'll say you are a ship girl."

"I have never denied it, okay?" Eugen withdrew his hand and patted Ren Anhe's shoulder.

Ren Anhe said: "Sister, do you want to be my ship girl?"

Eugen stretched out his finger and made a silent gesture: "When you build it, I will establish a link with you."

Ren Anhe immediately understood his sister's idea of ​​building that project with a 100% success rate, and nodded.

Does this mean that I will have two ship girls as soon as I enter school?

Tiancheng: “…”

I am replenishing my energy while sleeping. Please do not disturb me.

The two of them came to the dormitory area while talking and laughing.

Yixian was right. The house given to him was quite big, with three bedrooms and a living room, which was just right for the ship girls he built, one room for each of them.

Eugen rolled up his sleeves and took out a cleaning apron and dust hat from his ship's suit space. Now that he had his cards on the table, he could slowly reveal some things to his younger brothers.

"Then I will be responsible for cleaning and tidying the room, and you can just go to take the exam with peace of mind... And how do you choose the room?" Eugen asked.

"Sister, you choose first. I can handle any of them." Ren Anhe said.

Eugen nodded and began his hard work.

After all these years, it seems like this is the first time I’ve started cleaning again… No, it seems like my automatic cleaning robot is here with me…

While Eugen was thinking this, Ren Anhe put down his bag and other things, took the stationery needed for the exam and went out.

…………

Classroom 404, where the exams and tests were held, was a large classroom. Among the several KanColle teachers waiting inside, Yixian was among them.

"Sorry to keep you waiting for so long."

Ren Anhe said very sincerely.

Yixian smiled and said, "Wait a minute, now that we are here, shall we begin?"

Afterwards, Yixian looked at a teacher with golden twin ponytails standing beside him. She had a stern face and looked very serious, a bit like the dean in a comic book.

"Thank you, Mr. Nelson."

The Royal Navy's shipgirl? Nelson.

Ren Anhe thought silently.

Looking at the man standing in front of him holding a helmet-like tester, Ren Anhe said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Nelson."

Nelson said calmly, "It's my duty... This is a device to test whether you have the commander's network. Although you may have known this a long time ago, I still have to explain it to you according to the procedure."

"Only those who possess a potential commander network can become commanders. Otherwise, without a commander network, you will not be able to contact and communicate with the ship girls, and there will be no way to awaken the ship girls in the mind cube."

“That’s why this test was created.

Instruments, we have also prepared two sets of entrance examination papers for you, one set is for commanders to learn, and the other is for non-commanders' professional knowledge, such as scientific research and logistics."

"So are you ready?" Nelson continued.

Ren Anhe nodded confidently: "Ready."

"Then put this on, close your eyes, and then you can test it."

Ren Anhe put on the helmet, and when the instrument started up, he felt a subtle sensation. He knew that it was his own commander network.

Tiancheng watched quietly from the side, with a little curiosity in his eyes. After so many years of development, has the technology become so advanced? I still remember that the instruments needed for testing alone would fill up an entire room.

Now all you need is a helmet and a computer?

On the computer side, another petite ship girl with glasses and wavy shoulder-length hair was typing on the keyboard, then nodded to Yixian: "Principal, confirmed, the commander is not yet awakened online."

Yixian said in his heart, "As expected, only with the presence of a ship girl can the commander's network be awakened successfully. The specific uses of the network basically have to be explored by each commander himself.

There is no way to teach this because everyone's experience is different.

I just don't know what his talent level is. Yixian is very curious.

"Alright." Nelson said to Ren Anhe, "It's ready. Next we will arrange the Commander Academy exam for you. We will be the only three invigilators."

Ren Anhe opened his eyes: "Then I'll leave it to you."

Nelson nodded and went back to open the test paper.

Yixian walked slowly to Ren Anhe's side and said with a smile, "Actually, I'm very curious about your commander talent level. After all, the seniors over there always praise you as a rare genius."

"As for this, we can test it out once she has her own initial ship," said the ship girl with shoulder-length hair.

"Indeed... After the exam is over, I will take you to build it. You will feel relieved if you get your initial ship sooner, right?" Yixian said with a smile, "As for the initial ship, Mr. Langley, I will trouble you to take it with you."

"I understand, Principal." Langley nodded.

The commander's talent level is linked to how many ship girls you can establish connections with.

从等级大概从高到低就是S、A、B、C、D、E六个等级，可以建立联系的舰娘分别就是24位、18位、12位、8位、6位以及最少的3位。

Therefore, according to the commander's level, the size of the city and the size of the defense zone they are assigned after graduation are also different.

It's pretty cool for an average person to have a C, but what about the number of a whole fleet of shipgirls? Do you really think building and salvaging ships is that easy? Perhaps it's a problem whether a C-level person can gather a six-person fleet of shipgirls until retirement.

The first three levels can be said to be pitifully small, otherwise, there would not be a need for so many commanders.

In some places, there are even two port areas coordinating the defense of one defense zone.

Of course, these are all off-topic. The most important thing for Ren Anhe right now is the exam.

16. To be built

Speaking of which, Ren Anhe has never taken an exam with three teachers supervising him alone.

I have achieved this achievement right now, but although I can do it and I find it very simple, it is still very uncomfortable under this kind of gaze.

Maybe this is how teachers suppress students?

Especially when Ren Anhe subconsciously looked up and his eyes met Yixian's, he felt even more nervous.

Although I was alone and had no way to cheat, but... it was very confusing.

Of course, Yixian's eyes were always gentle, but as a student, Ren Anhe would subconsciously get nervous and start to have all sorts of random thoughts when he made eye contact with his teacher during exams.

For example, maybe the teacher misunderstood that I was cheating by looking around... or something like that.

However, Ren Anhe's mentality was still very strong, and he immediately lowered his head and started doing the questions.

Please suggest explanations on the deployment diagram of offshore firepower along the line.

Explain the specific plan regarding the psychological adjustments of the ship girls.

If there is a yandere among your shipgirls, how would you, as a commander, provide psychological counseling...

To be honest, when Ren Anhe was studying these kinds of questions on his own, he felt a little confused. What were all these things connected to?

But in order to cope with the exam, I still studied very thoroughly.

In about half an hour, Ren Anhe finished the entire paper.

"Teacher, I'll hand in my paper." Ren Anhe said.

"So fast?"

Although I was mentally prepared for Ren Anhe's cool and quick writing, I was still very surprised to see him hand in the paper so quickly.

Yixian and Nelson took the test papers and began to review them.

Well, no need to read on, this is simply taken from the standard answer.

Yixian and Nelson looked at each other in surprise.

Langley, who is always very strict, also showed a hint of surprise.

Is this student so talented?

But, the best is yet to come.

"Xiao An, do you know? Our commander's exam is divided into two parts." Yixian said to Ren Anhe with a smile.

Ren Anhe was stunned: "Two games? Aren't they both just one?"

Yixian said: "This is all announced to the public, and it is only like this in Donghuang... After the exam, you are required to sign a confidentiality agreement or it will not be disclosed."

"Why?" Ren Anhe became even more confused.

Yixian spread his hands helplessly: "You have to know that we are in Donghuang. Do you know about exam-oriented education? As long as you are taking an exam, there must be various question banks and tutoring classes out there. There is nothing we can do."

Haven’t you seen that in the past, there were all kinds of test-taking routines in the national and provincial exams and interviews...

“So, I have to sign this too?”

Ren Anhe said.

Langley was already prepared and placed a document in front of Ren Anhe, who took a look at it.

There is nothing special about it except that during the entire interview, no word is allowed to be revealed to the outside world. Otherwise, the worst case scenario is that the commander's qualification will be directly revoked.

"Well, if you are ready... our interview question and answer session will begin."

Ren Anhe was really nervous this time. He swallowed subconsciously and said, "I'm ready..."

Yixian and the others returned to the table facing Ren Anhe, cleared their throats, and put on serious faces.

“Just a reminder, this interview is about issues within the port area, not for external parties,” Yixian reminded as usual.

"So, classmate Ren Anhe, let me ask, if there is your wedding ship in your port area, and you two are very loving, but later a new ship girl joins your port area, and she is very jealous and has a strong possessive mentality towards you... so she quarrels with your wedding ship or even fights with it... what should you do?"

Ren Anhe understood immediately. If before they were asking you about your professional knowledge, now they are asking you how to regulate the relationship between the ship girls.

Ren Anhe was thinking about the standard answer, but he caught a glimpse of Yixian's half-smile out of the corner of his eye and suddenly realized it.

Then I felt a little scared. There was no standard answer at this time. As for the ship girl and the salvage ship, it all depends on your sincerity and real intention. If I use the standard answer like diplomatic rhetoric here, I guess it would be a pass.

Is this the time to say what I really think?

Ren Anhe licked his lips and said, "It's very simple. Why not turn her into a wedding ship? As the saying goes, fight at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed... I want it all."

Ren Anhe grips the claws.

Yixian was stunned. Indeed, this interview was to test the sincerity of this commander. If he showed such politeness and false face in front of his own ship girl, then this commander might not be qualified, because the ship girl would be very keen to know that you are lying to her.

It's even possible that some ship girls might get stuck on this.

Yixian twitched his lips. Well, from what he felt, this was a sincere thought.

Many of the students I interviewed before also had this idea. I can only say that the commander group... is really easy to understand in some aspects.

"Then the next question... If your girlfriend and your ship girl fell into the water, who would you save first?" Nelson asked this question and then he subconsciously complained, "No, what kind of stupid question is Rodney asking me? Which ship girl can't swim? Which idiot would have a girlfriend after becoming a commander? This is not qualified as a commander."

Yixian also smiled somewhat awkwardly. Now that he had asked, why not hear what he said?

Ren Anhe pursed his lips and said with some difficulty: "I think... Teacher Nelson is right."

Yixian: “…”

Langley: “…”

"Let's... move on to the next question." Nelson said helplessly.

"This question is a bit sharp. If your port is facing an invasion by Sirens who are far stronger than yours, and the surrounding ports are on the way to support you, and you need to hold on for an hour, but the price is that you and your ship girls will be wiped out, what will you choose?" Yixian's eyes became sharper.

This is one of the ultimate questions in their interviews, and this question also screens out many people who are afraid of death and those who simply regard being a commander as a position of pleasure that allows them to live happily with many beautiful girls and legally start a harem.

So she was very curious about how Ren Anhe would answer.

Tiancheng on the side also floated out from the necklace and looked at Ren Anhe quietly.

When Ren Anhe faced this question, he suddenly relaxed, because this was a question that he had already come up with the answer to when he and his sister had argued and even quarreled over whether to become a commander.

"Of course we choose to stick together." Ren Anhe said.

"Why? Are you just going to let your ship girl die with you?" Nelson narrowed his eyes.
