Come and connect with me!

"How long do you plan on keeping Sirius here?"

Hood couldn't help but ask softly.

"Until she learns everything a maid should know."

The head maid said coldly.

As a royal maid, or even as a Rubik's Cube ship, the most basic thing you need to do is to stay calm.

How could he just come back and not even be willing to spend time waiting for the fog that appeared with the dock door to dissipate, but be so impatient to launch an attack? Sirius's reckless behavior made the head maid feel an indescribable sense of shame.

"But it's lunch time."

Hood said softly, and her words were of course heard by Sirius, causing the reckless maid to involuntarily reveal a small look of gratitude.

"She won't die from skipping a meal, but it will help her wake up and hear the sound of water, which will clear her mind."

The head maid's voice was still cold, but Hood seemed relieved and said, "That's good. I thought you were going to poke a few holes in Sirius with a knife."

Sirius shuddered when he heard that, looked at the head maid carefully, and shrank his neck inwardly.

The head maid opened her mouth slightly, and then she understood why Hood followed her silently. It turned out that he wondered how she would treat this reckless maid.

"Of course I won't do that, but Sirius, you can only have dinner today, and this is the last time!"

After saying this, the head maid glared at Sirius deeply, took a few deep breaths, and then left angrily.

Hood chuckled and followed. Only Sirius stood stupidly in the corner, waiting obediently for the punishment time to end.

Her fighting skills are impeccable, but she is still too clumsy for a maid.

"Owner......."

The call from the stupid maid did not reach Wuming's ears. After this satisfying lunch, Yixian hooked his arm and pulled him out of the cafeteria without saying a word. The several ship girls present wanted to say something but hesitated, and finally said nothing.

Outside the cafeteria, Yixian, who had been keeping silent, suddenly let out a long breath. Wuming could feel his arms sinking lightly into the softness, bringing a wonderful touch.

"Just now, everyone's eyes were so scary."

Yixian slowed down her pace and leaned her head gently on Wuming's shoulder.

"Is it so exaggerated?"

Along with the warm afternoon breeze, Wuming could smell the faint fragrance of the people around him, which seemed to be there and not there, with a subtle aroma.

"At least Frederick looked at me with a scary expression. Well, after all, I was the first one."

After Yixian took off her wedding dress, her tone was not as ancient anymore. She looked quite playful when complaining, with a kind of innocent feeling like a girl next door.

"That's right, that's why she's angry."

Frederick the Great is currently the strongest ship in the port, but in a sense, she is not as strong as imagined. When facing things she doesn't care about, she will always smile, but always keep a barrier between herself and others. When facing people who have entered her heart, it is difficult for her to not care.

What is the meaning of the word "Yi Yi"?

Yixian blinked, as if thinking about something, and then looked at Wuming again.

"Now is our time. We can't always talk about Frederick. Please focus more on Yixian."

Her tone was still gentle, but her eyes were serious, leaving Wuming with no choice but to surrender.

"Well, this is my fault. Sorry, Yixian."

"Don't be sorry, husband."

The corners of Yixian's lips twitched, but eventually turned into relief.

She looked around. There were familiar port buildings, such as the cafeteria and the large anchor of the Azur Lane that remained unchanged in the center. But more importantly, there were new traces left by ships, metal statues that she had never seen before, unique flowers planted in the park, and even more, there were people who had walked into Wuming's heart before her.

It was not only Frederick the Great who felt the sense of crisis, but more so herself. When Sirius casually said that he wanted to prepare lunch for Wuming, she immediately said it unconsciously, which led to this hasty lunch.

"So, have you ever thought about getting to know Minato again?"

Wuming looked at Yixian, who seemed a little lost, and suggested.

The port area has changed a lot, and as time goes by, it may be completely unrecognizable to those who come later. Even Wuming himself hasn't visited the port area systematically for some time.

"Reacquaint yourself with...Minato?"

"Yes, how about we consider this a date?"

If a man on Earth told his girlfriend that they would take a walk around the house as a date, he would definitely be severely punished. However, thanks to his golden finger, the nameless port area became larger and larger, and now its diameter is almost dozens of kilometers. Most of it has not yet been developed. Large tracts of land are vacant and were designed by the head maid and Soviet Rossiya, turning them into ecological parks separated by roads. It is quite quiet on weekdays and can be regarded as a good place for a date.

"Originally this was a section of road from the cafeteria to the dormitory, but after the port area was upgraded...how was the port area upgraded? Well, that's another story..."

Strolling on the soft grass, under the supervision of the port system, annoying mosquitoes cannot find a breeding ground for survival. Every inch of soil under the grass is firm and flat, and you will not feel uncomfortable at all when stepping on it. Even if you lie down anywhere, if you don’t mind the sun, you can also have a good sleep comfortably.

Yixian listened attentively, asking questions in a low voice from time to time, and Wuming answered patiently.

But it was different from what Wuming thought. He felt that killing a large number of robot armies in the NieR world should be very attractive to Yixian. At the very least, Yixian should want to know what was going on with the white-haired robots in that world. But this girl with the temperament of a lady from a noble family was more interested in what his daily meals were in the NieR world.

"Well, husband, Yixian has decided that from today on, all three meals a day will be left to me."

Without waiting for Wuming to say anything, Yixian stretched out his index finger and gently pressed it on his lips.

"No objection allowed. It's settled."

Wuming stared at Yixian's crimson eyes and could only nod slightly.

Yixian smiled slightly, let go of Wuming's arms, and stepped briskly on the grass.

She turned her head, her eyes bright as water.

"Yixian, I'm really happy."

Chapter 316 Resurrection!

Off the coast of Azur Lane, a fleet was advancing silently.

The flat and wide deck was loaded with neatly stacked containers, weighing down the cargo ship, which slowly approached at a leisurely pace.

The fleet that set out a day ago has only just arrived outside the port area.

Cleveland, the patrol knight near the coast, discovered the fleet early. On the leading ship, a huge flag fluttered in the sea breeze. The eagle on it was blown straight by the strong wind, and the eagle painted on it seemed to be about to break through the flag.

This is the fleet of cargo ships that White Eagle uses to deliver supplies.

St. Louis stood at the bow and waved to Cleveland.

Soon, an entire fleet of cargo ships was anchored outside the usually peaceful port.

"Phew, I'm glad I did my job. Here are the things for you. Don't forget to count them."

St. Louis said with a tired look on his face.

"Hey, are you okay? You don't look well."

After Cleveland sent the message back to the port area, he accompanied St. Louis to the port. The robotic arms on both sides of the cargo ship opened and automatically began to unload the cargo. The robotic arms moved quickly and accurately, causing slight vibrations in the port from time to time.

These materials are astronomical figures for an individual, but for a large camp in this world, they are just a drop in the bucket. When the news was passed back to the White Eagle Port, the statistics and transportation plan of the materials were completed in less than two hours. However, thanks to the Sirens of this world, the sea has never been safe. In addition to the necessary cargo ships, the transportation of materials also requires the necessary frigates and accompanying Rubik's Cube ships. Otherwise, with White Eagle's global transportation network, less than six hours would be enough to deliver these materials.

"It's bad. The Enterprise is not in the port area, and the White Eagle is under a lot of pressure, so I am the only one escorting this time. God, I have hardly slept for the past two days."

St. Louis said this, raising her hand to cover her mouth, and Cleveland beside her could hear her uncontrollable yawn.

The Rubik's Cube ships are much more energetic than humans, but unless necessary, they will follow the general human schedule. This long-lost late night work makes St. Louis feel exhausted.

"If you're not in a hurry, you can go to my dormitory and sleep for a while. It will take time to count the supplies."

Cleveland immediately suggested.

"Your dormitory? Hmm, let me think..."

St. Louis was somewhat tempted. She looked at the swift movement of the robotic arm and then at the long queue behind it. After hesitating for less than three seconds, she gave a reply.

"I should be able to refresh myself in two hours. Um, by the way, does your dormitory have a bathroom?"

Five minutes later, Cleveland returned to the port from the dormitory.

St. Louis admired the design of her house, then he quickly took a shower and crawled into her bed, falling into a deep sleep without forgetting to set the alarm. Cleveland left a note on the bedside and hurried back. The inventory of supplies at the port was very important, so she temporarily asked Alice to do it. However, considering that this brave female knight came from a magical world where technology was not popular, she was always a little worried.

At the port, in addition to Wuming, Alice, Yixian and the head maid who must be present for such things, Akashi was also jumping up and down around the container. The three small boats were also staring at the swift-moving mechanical arm in a daze, making oh-oh-oh sounds from time to time.

"Commander, Commander, with these supplies, we will have a lot of gold coins left!"

Akashi picked up her wrench suit, knocked on a container, and pried open the thick metal box. Suddenly, a pile of gray alloy blocks popped out from inside.

The metal formula obtained from the "Cleaner" in the NieR world requires this type of alloy for secondary processing and refining. The completed alloy will be able to travel long distances in outer space, and it is resistant to high and low temperatures, vibrations, and damage. It has almost no weaknesses except for the beam attacks that converge at one point. However, this is not a weakness. In wars within the atmosphere, it can almost be called an invincible shield.

"Well, then our..."

Wuming was about to say something when he saw Mingshi rummaging around in his pocket, pulling out a metal ball and throwing it into the sky. The ball quickly rose into the air, and then suddenly emitted a visible light golden ripple that quickly enveloped the entire port.

"You can continue talking now, meow. I have blocked the signal transmission. Even if the evil Saratoga wants to monitor our conversation, she can't do it, meow!"

Although she always looks smiling, Akashi is very sensitive to technological products. After taking a look at the structure of the robotic arm and the cargo ship, she realized that there might be a listening device. Although she was not 100% sure, the green-haired cat also made a signal blocker in advance.

Wuming raised his eyes to look at the cargo ship and found that with the completion of signal shielding, the agile mechanical arms immediately became sluggish. He rubbed his brows silently and felt that he had to be more careful.

"Well, let me continue. Akashi, this batch of supplies has arrived. To what extent can the progress of the anti-gravity engine be accelerated now?"

"Let me think, meow..."

When asked this, Akashi covered his head with his wide sleeves, and only his green cat ears could be seen trembling.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wuming whispered the general idea of ​​the matter to Yixian, and the latter nodded in understanding.

"Hehe, I figured it out meow. I can probably finish half of the engine layout meow. If we include the lab at the research center, there's still not enough materials meow!"

"Laboratory? Wait a minute, I remember only the research center has the upgrade option, right?"

Wuming saw Akashi's eyes moving from time to time, and he did not hide his suspicion of this profiteer cat.

This is Mingshi, the number one profiteer in the world. He never doubted that this cat would embezzle a lot of these supplies, but he was a little concerned about the amount.

"Stupid commander meow! Don't you think our research center is too rudimentary meow? It's rare to have a laboratory that can shield against gravity, so of course we have to find a way to make it first meow. Also, the changes in the port area are something I didn't expect meow. If it were the original size, it would be able to fly now meow!"

As soon as her own field was mentioned, Akashi immediately became serious. Wuming stared at her for a long time, but he could not see anything other than cunning in the eyes of this cat.

"Tsk, that means we need more materials, right? Hmm, the digestion speed is too slow. Do we have to continue to look for other camps to do business? I'm afraid there won't be much material that can be taken out immediately."

Seeing Wuming lost in thought, the head maid said, "Master, from my understanding of the factions in this world, the metal smelting technology of Iron Blood is sufficient, but their consumption rate is also very fast. Because the number of magic cube ships cannot compare with other factions, they tend to mass-produce mass-produced ships, which are basically old models of ships with fission engines, barely able to protect the entire area. Therefore, they do not have the materials we need. The Sakura Empire lacks metal, but they have the poorly evaluated [Power of the Gods], which relies more on wood than metal, but I think it is not enough. Among the other factions, except for the Royal and White Eagles, no one has the conditions to meet our needs for the time being."

Wuming nodded silently, his eyes wandering.

The four major camps are sure to have reserves that can meet the needs of the port area, but only the White Eagle and the Royal Family can take them out at any time without any regrets. The rest are more or less lacking. For example, the Free Iris, which is basically a wandering force, has a hard life itself. Expecting them to carry millions of tons of metal with them is like hoping for pie in the sky.

Moreover, the metal formulas in Neil's world are products that are more advanced than this world by one era. Even if they are obtained, they still require subsequent secondary processing. Over-reliance on the factions of this world will inevitably make it impossible for Wuming to maintain the neutrality he wants.

He subconsciously looked in the direction of the dimensional gate and made up his mind.

"Befa, help me find Shinano and Frederick later. It's time to receive a resource star."

Chapter 317: A small episode before departure

In the port office, the big white fox remained sober for a long time, staring at Yixian with a faint gaze. Frederick the Great looked normal, as if he had expected it.

"Honey, I thought you would consider it a little longer."

Wuming could only respond with a wry smile.

This beautiful and smiling woman rarely showed some dissatisfaction towards him.

Normally, when the port area has the second legendary ship, it should be possible to return to the NieR world and push forward all the way. However, a lot of things happened in the meantime, from the sudden appearance of Altair to the changes in Wuming's own power after returning from that world, which made him want to spend more time developing the port area. As a result, the port area's development pace has been slowed down due to building materials, forcing him to turn his attention back from daily life to the dimensional gate.

"Sorry, Frederick, but fortunately it's not too late now."

Wuming smiled at Frederick the Great, and the latter raised his eyebrows and easily forgave him.

"Fufu, I'm curious too. If everyone in the new world is like 2b and the others, it would be a bit troublesome."

Shinano's tail swayed slightly, as if there were soft clouds floating behind her. Her eyes were half open and half closed, and she spoke in a lukewarm tone. Even when she mentioned trouble, there was a sense of nonchalance.

"The androids that came here were all given the magic cube, and they are already better than pure androids. Most of the creatures in that world are vulnerable."

Frederick the Great saw that Shinano seemed a little worried, so he stretched out his hand, and a layer of light gray mist rose from the shadow under his feet. The mist kept changing its shape, sometimes turning into a Q-version shape of 2b, and sometimes turning into an Android robot like a trash can, turning the small space in front of him into an interpretation of the world of NieR.

Shinano slightly widened his eyes, and looked at them intently with his clear blue pupils. The tiny 2Bs rushed forward in a swarm, and were then overwhelmed by the huge number of mechanical life forms.

"It seems that these little guys are what I need to eliminate?"

"That's right. This time, I'm going to clean these things up cleanly and neatly."
