Come and connect with me!

Compared to Noshiro who shyly avoided the situation because of being seen in an embarrassing situation, Ayanami's disappointment was more about winning or losing the game.

“Do I have to put on blackface if I lose?”

Wuming held back his laughter, took out a handkerchief from his bosom, and cleaned the cheek of this member of the Four Imperial Households who had been with him for a long time.

“If you lose, you have to draw a line.”

Ayanami accepted Wuming's help quite naturally and spoke in a muffled tone.

Wuming looked at Ayanami's dark face and could only speed up his hands' movements to prevent his hands from shaking when he laughed.

After cleaning up the depressed Ayanami, Noshiro was nowhere to be seen. She slipped into the bathroom to tidy up her appearance. He could only shrug and turn his head to Yamashiro.

"Yamashiro, are you free now?"

"What does your highness want to do with Shancheng?"

The black cat witch tilted her head and asked in confusion.

"The cat house, which is where command cats are trained, needs to be a cat-type ship girl."

Wuming said this while glancing at the greedy green-haired cat.

"The system doesn't think Akashi is a qualified cat."

When Akashi heard this, his eyes widened.

"The Minato system must be broken, meow. Akashi-chan is a pure cat character, possessing all the good qualities of a cat, meow!"

"cut."

As Akashi finished speaking, he heard golden-eyed Kiana snort.

"You're not a good cat. Hey, human, where are the cats? The kind with soft paws?"

After Xilin expressed her contempt for the unqualified cat, she asked Wuming anxiously.

"Don't rush."

Wuming knew that she was very anxious, but still hoped that Xilin would not be anxious.

"Anyway, one of the cat houses in the port area needs a cat-type ship girl. If it doesn't change this time, you'll probably need to stay at the cat house for about an hour or two. If you're busy today, you can tell me when you're free."

Wuming said to Shancheng in a relaxed tone.

"Yes, Your Highness, Shancheng is free now. We can set off anytime!"

Shancheng nodded obediently, his furry ears twitching.

"Then let's set off without further delay."

Wuming looked at the anxious Xilin and decided to set off without any delay. However, the unlocking of new buildings had not happened for a long time, and the ship girls in the room also followed with great interest.

There were two of them when they came, and when they came back, including Noshiro, there were six of them.

The direction of the cat house is the original center of the port area. After the upgrade, it has expanded a lot. Wuming roughly identified the location and asked the little yellow chicken on the roadside for directions before he found the cat house.

The cat house looks like a simple two-story building. On the roof there is a chubby white commanding cat, which is flattened with its tail hanging to the ground. The first floor is the common white color, and the second floor is a rather bright orange-red color. From a distance, it looks like a large mushroom house.

Shancheng looked at the building that seemed to have been abandoned for a long time and blinked at Wuming.

"Your Highness, do you need a mountain city to pray for you?"

"No, just go to the door and summon the ship suit."

Wuming thought about the awakening process of the previous building, and brought Shancheng to the door of the cat house. This building was like other system buildings. You could see it but not enter. You could only peek at the tip of the iceberg inside from the outside.

Shancheng obediently called out the ship equipment, and then a triangular slot suddenly opened in the outer shell of the building. Shancheng's ship equipment moved closer, and then the entire building began to vibrate slightly and slowly changed.

Shancheng was unaware of anything, just like the previous unlocking of buildings, he was just bored staying there, so Wuming just joined everyone to chat with Shancheng.

Sirin is not a good listener or storyteller, but at times like this, the cheerful Kiana will switch over and get along with everyone very smoothly. Compared to tsundere characters, this kind of innocent character is more popular.

Time passed quickly as everyone chatted. When Wuming heard a beep from his cell phone, everyone turned their heads and looked towards the cat house.

"Your Highness, the door is open!"

Yamashiro shook his body, causing Wuming's eyes to shake as well, but the most important thing now was to command the cats, and his eyes quickly calmed down as he led everyone into the cat house.

The interior of the cat house was very spacious and bright, and the ventilation was very good, but this was not the focus of everyone's attention. Inside the house, there were seven or eight open cardboard boxes, inside which were several kittens with command hats on their heads, looking at everyone with confused faces. Before Wuming could say anything, a white shadow beside him cheered, came to the cats, picked up a kitten and rubbed it hard with his face.

"Kitten!"

Chapter 542 Command Meow

"Well, they are indeed mine..."

Wuming squatted down and carefully reached out to stroke a white command cat. Apart from wearing a navy cap, this kitten looked no different from an ordinary white cat. It had a round body, like a white Garfield, with short arms and legs, and fluffy fur, like a cloud lying on its side.

The only difference from ordinary cats is that on the head of this fat cat, there are data floating that can only be seen by the port ship girls and Wuming.

[Azur Lane-Commander Cat-Morrie Cat]

[sr-Aviation Specialty]

【lv-30】

Wuming stared at the top of Morimiao's head, and then exchanged glances with the cat that looked like a rag doll.

"Meow~"

"Can you speak?"

"Meow meow!"

Wuming looked at Mori Miao and called out softly a few times, then raised his short legs and licked his fur, looking very contented.

"It's difficult if you can't speak."

The command cat system is very complicated. Wuming himself has never paid much attention to it. He just hurriedly opened a few SR cats, roughly looked at their attributes, and then threw them to the fleet to raise them. He took them with him when he went out to fight to increase some attributes. As for other stronger cats, Wuming was powerless. After all, this system was originally prepared for people with a hundred livers. Only when they have too many gold coins and have nowhere to spend them will they think of messing with cats. As a salted fish, Wuming is always short of gold coins. After all, gold coins are needed for star upgrades of ship girls, gold coins are needed for making equipment, gold coins are needed for upgrading equipment, gold coins are needed for daily scientific research, and gold coins are also needed for the research and development of scientific research ships...

It can be said that as long as you don't spend too much time on it, you will find that the output of gold coins always seems to be enough. However, once you try to upgrade the equipment of all the ship girls, or want to equip the newly released powerful ships with top-level equipment, you will find that these tens of thousands of gold coins are like nothing. Just a few clicks will quickly return to zero.

"Meow meow meow?"

Akashi twitched his ears, wagged his tail, crouched down, and meowed softly at Mori, who meowed along with him.

After a while, Akashi stood up again with a look of understanding.

"Commander, Akashi has figured it out."

She took out a piece of dried fish from her pocket and handed it to Morimiao. The little white cat held the dried fish in its mouth and took small bites of the fish, making pleasant biting sounds.

"Morri is a fully grown command cat. He can accompany the fleet when it goes out to battle and provide a certain amount of strength. Moreover, this little guy has a very keen sense of smell and can find specific precious items within a certain range."

Akashi looked at the chubby white kitten, and his eyes unconsciously began to sparkle with the light of gold coins. He looked at the kittens as if he was looking at a moving gold mine.

"Commander, leave these little guys to me, meow. Let Akashi-chan give them some exercise to help them digest their food, meow. As a cat, you can't just lie there lazily like that all the time, meow!"

"No, if I give it to you, you will probably become a skinny cat. You should manage the research center well first and stop making mistakes!"

Wuming glanced at her sideways, ignored Mingshi's sad face, squatted down again, and stroked Mori cat carefully.

Except for Wuming and Akashi, everyone else was also excitedly looking for a cat, and from time to time they would touch the soft bellies of the kittens with their fingers. These cats were similar in nature to Manchu, and were all by-products of the Rubik's Cube. They were born to be close to the ship girls, and when Nodai's touch came over, they would lazily squint their eyes, make comfortable purring sounds, and rub their furry bodies against the palms of the people who came over, without any of the arrogance of normal cats.

Apart from.......

"Hey, don't go, I like you very much!"

The sound of defeated dogs suddenly appeared in the cat house. Xilin looked at her beloved kittens avoiding her with a look of despair. These soft little cuties would even come to Wuming on their own initiative, rubbing their furry bodies against the back of Wuming's hand and making pitiful meows.

Xilin looked at the kittens flying away from her one by one with a dejected face. She stretched out her hands helplessly, just like the victim who hid under the car and watched the goddess get on the car.

Her mouth moved and she subconsciously looked at Wuming, looking at him pitifully.

"Forehead......"

Wuming shrugged helplessly and waved to Xilin, who looked at the little white cat at his feet, approached cautiously, and then tentatively poked Mori cat with her finger. This full-level command cat, which had just returned from the cat house, was very docile and allowed her to stroke it.

"Yeah, little kitty, be good."

Xilin finally breathed a sigh of relief and spoke softly in an unprecedentedly gentle voice.

She looked at the kitten that let her rub it, and smiled happily.

But halfway through her smile, her expression changed again and her face turned red little by little.

Just now, she actually showed such an expression in front of that person who hated humans...

A feeling mixed with shame made Xilin's brain start to crash, but the imagined laughter did not come. She quietly raised her head and found that Wuming was concentrating on interacting with the command cat with her. Although it looked quite round, the flexibility of the command cat was even far beyond that of their flesh and blood counterparts. Wuming spread out his palms, and Mori Cat obediently stretched out its soft paws and placed them on Wuming's palms.

Xilin stared at Wuming blankly. While she envied him for being so close to the kitten, some changes also occurred in her heart.

"Xilin, do you want to try it too?"

Just as she was pondering the reason for this feeling, Xilin heard Wuming's invitation. She was stunned for a moment, then nodded stammeringly, and somewhat stiffly imitated Wuming's movements, extending her hand to Morimiao.

This clever cat understood Wuming's meaning very well. It put its two little white paws on Xilin's hands and gently held them.

"Oh hey hey... it's really, really cute."

Xilin laughed with an intoxicated look on her face, and then nodded in agreement.

"It's indeed a real cat, just as cute as the one you see on TV. No, it's even cuter than what you see on TV."

Wuming was a little surprised and asked.

"On TV?"

"Well, the most cats I've ever seen were actually on TV in the orphanage. There weren't that many cats in the snow. At that time, Bella and I had been living in the orphanage, and we had some time every day to watch TV together. I saw a program that talked about how to get along with cats. The cats in the program were soft, clean, and obedient. I was thinking, when I grow up, I'll live with Bella and the others, and everyone will have a cat as cute as the ones on TV..."

Xilin's worries were brought to mind, and her eyes were gentle and nostalgic, different from the past. Usually, she always looked fierce, like a person who came to the wilderness and had to hunch over, facing the unknown things on all sides, making the only roar. This unpleasant way could make her feel more secure, but at this moment, in front of the kitten who looked more fragile than her, she unconsciously began to pour out her worries.

Wuming looked at her quietly. He had a premonition that this ordinary afternoon like any other might become special in his memories many years later.

As Xilin said this, her eyes accidentally looked behind Wuming and she found that the cat house had become very quiet. Akashi's ears were twitching, and Noshiro was also secretly looking at her out of the corner of her eye, and they were all quietly listening to her mental journey!

"Ahem... No, let's not talk about this anymore."

Xilin lowered her head to conceal her mistake. Only then did she realize that she had actually talked about her past in front of so many people.

In that case, then...

"Eh?"

She pretended to close her eyes, then opened them in disbelief, her eyes still filled with the warm dark golden cross-shaped eyes.

"Hehehe, don't underestimate me, Xilin, just stay outside!"

Although her eyes did not change color, Xilin's voice changed at this moment, with a hint of Kiana's cuteness.

"Don't always think that you can ask me to take the blame when you're shy. I'm telling you, that's impossible!"

After being tricked by Sirin several times, Kiana used her clever brain to regain the high ground and even figured out the technique of blocking the opponent's position, making it impossible for Sirin to go back.

Xilin felt embarrassed and angry. She was hungry at that moment, so she had to take out a piece of nutrition block from her pocket and put it in her mouth to chew. When she was eating the nutrition block habitually, she suddenly found that all the kittens in the room were looking at her, and Morimao was staring at her pocket.

"You want to eat? Yeah, don't worry, I'll bring it to you right away."

At this moment, Xilin no longer cared about being shy. She happily took out the nutrient blocks from her pocket and shared them with Morimeow. As she took out the nutrient blocks, the other kittens couldn't help it either. They left the ship girls who were happily rubbing against her before, and came over one by one, surrounding Xilin and begging for food spinelessly.

This time, Sirin turned over and became the center of the cat house, and the ship girls also gathered around.

Wuming was happy to see that Xilin was liked by the kitten, but besides being happy, he also saw half a piece of dried fish left on the ground. He picked up the dried fish and sniffed it, then took some nutrient blocks from Xilin to compare them.

Akashi was watching with a smile at first, but when she noticed Wuming's actions, she froze.

She held her breath, shrank her neck, turned around quietly, tiptoed carefully, and walked out of the cat house step by step.

One step, two steps...

Her footsteps were getting closer to the door, but just as Akashi was about to go out, her collar was suddenly grabbed tightly by a hand.

"Hehe, explain yourself, Akashi."

Wuming said this in a dark voice, already beginning to scrutinize her with his eyes, intending to hang her higher.

Seeing that there was no way to escape, Akashi burst into tears.

"I, I made so many dried fish, I don't dare to eat a single bite!"
