U37 looked up at the sky through the car window and said to Lin Lan seriously after finding that the clouds showed no signs of dissipating.
Lin Lan was also confused. What was going on?
The last time he used the Clear Sky Talisman it was very effective, so why doesn’t it work this time?
Lin Lan raised his hand, and a blue water elemental blade appeared in his hand.
"There's nothing wrong with my hero's power. Could it be that I just drew it wrong?"
Seeing Lin Lan fall into deep self-doubt, Egil said with a smile:
"How about Commander, why don't you draw two more spells? Maybe there are too many clouds in the sky and one spell won't be enough?"
Lin Lan stroked his chin and thought about it, it seemed that this was really possible.
Although drawing the Clear Sky Talisman will consume a lot of the user's mental energy, for Lin Lan, who has already recovered his mental energy, this consumption is insignificant.
He drew two clear sky talismans on the car and even asked Suiqiong to park the business bus on the side of the road and walked down himself holding an umbrella.
Since they had entered the city, many shop assistants in roadside shops saw this scene through the glass.
A young man in a white Navy uniform was holding an umbrella beside the bus, lighting two paper talismans in his hands in the wind and rain, muttering something as if he was possessed by evil spirits.
A few seconds later, the young man's trouser legs were soaked by the heavy rain and he fled back to the bus in panic.
"It's really strange, why is this happening?"
Lin Lan sat back in his seat, looking doubtful about his life.
Broken Sky has restarted the business bus. The other Iron Blooded Ship Girls were tactful enough not to insult Lin Lan at this time. Nimi patted Lin Lan's head gently to comfort her.
Even Germany rarely mocked Lin Lan, but sighed helplessly.
Poor inferior creature, he finally got a chance to show off in front of everyone but failed. How miserable.
As for Lin Lan, who was comforted by Nimi who patted his head, he was very sure that the Clear Sky Talisman was definitely not drawn wrong, but the reality was that the Clear Sky Talisman was ineffective in Yunhai City.
At this time, Hu Teng, who had been silent, looked at the heavy rain outside and said thoughtfully:
"Commander, is there a possibility that there's something wrong with the rain?"
"I mean, could this rain be man-made?"
Hearing Hu Teng's analysis, Lin Lan was suddenly shocked and took a breath of cold air.
If this rainstorm was man-made, it would be normal for his clear sky talisman to be ineffective.
But two questions immediately popped up in Lin Lan's mind.
The first question is who caused this rainstorm.
Lin Lan himself can also make a rain-making talisman to cause rainfall in an area, but the problem is that he is a brave man.
Not to mention how rare brave time travelers are, his memory of making props is also inherited from ancient Liaozhou.
Nowadays, these skills are probably no longer available in Liaozhou Jiudao.
It has been lost, otherwise when the Oran fleet arrived in Liaozhou, so many retained civilian laborers would not have been taken away so easily by the Oran United States.
The Teaching Nation must also have this kind of magic that can bring rain.
But if a magician of this strength still stayed in Oran, he would probably have been controlled by the Zhuhai Commercial Association long ago.
Since it couldn't be someone from Liaozhou, nor someone from Jiaozhou, it would be obvious who caused this rainstorm.
Siren.
Lin Lan couldn't help but think of the large-scale battles in the game, where the Siren already had a facility called a "weather controller".
This facility can control the weather of an entire area, such as creating hurricanes, heavy rains, and heavy fog to affect the movement of players' ship girls.
It has been confirmed that the rainstorm was caused by the Sirens, so the second question is, why did the Sirens create this rainstorm?
If the Sirens were coming to attack, it would have been raining for almost the entire day, yet there was no sign of fighting along the coast of Yunhai City.
This is inconsistent with the Siren's cold, ruthless and efficient attack style.
Could it be that Siren is hoping to flood Yunhai City with heavy rain?
Such a speculation flashed through Lin Lan's mind, but he immediately rejected it.
Are you kidding? Yunhai City is right on the seaside, and it is also the most prosperous city in the Western Continent. The city’s drainage system is also well maintained by Tianou Group.
It's impossible that Siren is conducting an experiment to test the limits of Yunhai City's drainage system, right?
Um... maybe the Purifiers will really do that.
"Forget it. Let's be careful today. The rain must be caused by the Siren."
Lin Lan thought over and over but still couldn't figure out why the Siren sent down this rainstorm, so he could only ask his ship girls to be careful today.
Soon, the vehicle drove into the main road of the city highway and entered the central inner area of Yunhai City.
There are tall buildings all around, and even when it rains, the lights are still on in these buildings.
In Yunhai City, even heavy rain cannot stop office workers from going to work.
After a while, Lin Lan saw through the drizzling rain in the car, a dense crowd of people holding umbrellas gathered at the entrance of a luxurious building on the roadside ahead, queuing to enter the building.
Luxury cars are parked on the roadside next to the building, which shows that the underground parking lot of the building is full.
We have arrived at the ship equipment products trade fair.
Chapter 254: Acting continues online
"Shattered Dome, Nimi, Akashi, Egil, August, the five of you stay with me."
“Hu Teng, you take the others into the building later, and then blend in with the crowd and follow us.”
Lin Lan saw Sun Dewang guarding the entrance of the building. After asking everyone entering the building to download the software on their mobile phones, he instructed his ship girls on the division of labor.
"No problem Commander."
Hu Teng nodded, and the other Iron-Blooded Ship Girls dressed as ordinary people also had no objection.
So Lin Lan took August and the other four people out of the car holding umbrellas and strode towards the crowd queuing in front of the building.
Most of the people holding umbrellas and queuing were wearing the white uniforms of the Navy Port Area Commander, and some of them brought their own ship girls with them.
In addition, there were some people wearing luxurious suits. Lin Lan speculated that they were some senior executives of companies in Yunhai City, who were arranged by Tianou Group to participate in the lottery.
Although he himself looked down upon the fuel filter equipment he provided this time, this thing is a purple item in the game.
A lean camel is still bigger than a horse, and the bonus to basic attributes is still there.
Compared with the current situation where most of Oran's equipment is white and a small amount of blue, the fuel filter can still provide Oran's chess pieces and ship girls with high attribute bonuses that were unimaginable before the Navy Department.
It is impossible for Tianou Group not to understand its value, but they dare not directly occupy these ten fuel filters.
Jian Qianou had witnessed the power of Hu Teng and Lin Lan with his own eyes, and this old guy didn't even know how many such terrifying ship girls there were in Lin Lan's port area.
Therefore, Sun Dewang asked him yesterday whether Tianou Group could participate in this trade fair.
After all, it is reasonable to participate in the trade fair according to the rules set by Lin Lan, win the fuel filter, and then resell it to the Navy Department at a high price.
The people queuing in the rain ahead entered the building very quickly. Some port commanders were holding umbrellas and chatting with each other while queuing.
This ship equipment trade fair will bring together many commanders of the West Continental Port Area who have not seen each other for a long time. It is also a rare gathering of commanders except for the annual Navy Department competition.
However, most of Lin Lan’s classmates are in the port area of Eastern Continent.
Among the classmates who had a good relationship with him during that year in college, except Luo Tao who was unlucky like him and was assigned to the Western Continent, all the others were interning in the Eastern Continent.
After the Siren disaster, the network between the East and West continents was not shared, so Lin Lan was unable to contact his classmates in the East Continent.
However, Lin Lan and his five companions also attracted the attention of many commanders.
After all, most of Orlan's chess pieces are destroyers or light cruisers, and even light aircraft carriers are extremely rare.
Even the port commander of Yunhai City only has two chess pieces: battleship girls, who are white-skinned in the game.
The domineering temperament of the two Iron-Blooded Phase IV scientific research ships, Witch August and God of the Wild Sea Egil, cannot be ignored even if they are not deliberately publicized.
Many port commanders secretly wondered whether Lin Lan was a direct descendant of a high-ranking official in the Navy Department, which was why he could have such an extraordinary ship girl at such a young age.
"
I don't know where Qi Yue is. I'll give her a call after I get in first."
Lin Lan didn't care about the looks people gave him. He just came here for fun, so he just let these people guess whatever they wanted.
"Yuan... Hello, young and promising commander, hello, welcome to this ship equipment product trade fair. Please scan the code to download the software to enter."
When he walked to the entrance of the building, he saw Sun Dewang and several female employees of Tianou Group wearing black suits welcoming guests at the door.
As soon as he saw Lin Lan, Sun Dewang's legs immediately went weak and he instinctively wanted to kneel on the ground.
But after Lin Lan glared at him fiercely, Sun Dewang hurriedly changed his words, put on a flattering smile, and walked forward and spoke enthusiastically.
"Well, isn't this Brother Sun? It looks like he has been reinstated and will be promoted. Congratulations, congratulations!"
Lin Lan walked up to Sun Dewang with a smile, and first pretended to be polite to him, then suddenly lowered her voice and whispered to Sun Dewang:
"Let my other ship girls come in later. If anyone asks, just say they are bodyguards hired by your Tianou."
Seeing Sun Dewang nodding repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, Lin Lan took out his mobile phone and pretended to scan the code to download the software, then walked into the building with Suiqiong, August and others.
As soon as he entered the lobby on the first floor of the building, Lin Lan felt that the temperature around him suddenly rose by several degrees with the indoor air conditioner running.
At this time, the hall has been transformed into a large exhibition hall, and various new products of the Western Continent Institute of Science and Technology are displayed in glass display cabinets for people to appreciate.
Just looking at Lin Lan, there were more than a hundred port area commanders of the Navy Department. Together with the people from the Ship Girls and Tianou Group, there were at least three or four hundred people.
Fortunately, the building is large enough, so even with so many people, it doesn't look crowded.
"With so many commanders in the Navy Department, if the Siren's battleships fired a shot here at this moment, wouldn't they be able to wipe out the Navy Department of this country in one fell swoop? Hahahaha!"
Egil gently lifted his long silver hair, looked at the crowd around him, and smiled into Lin Lan's ear.
"Hey, don't say that. If this is really possible, at least half of the East China Sea Six Cities Alliance will be destroyed."
When Lin Lan heard Egil's joking words, he looked around carefully and it seemed to be true.
"Familiar, do you want me to use Mind Control now to control the minds of all these people?"
August also smiled faintly and suggested to Lin Lan.
"Meow meow, why are you guys from Iron Blood so excessive meow, you are really full of bad intentions meow!"
Before Lin Lan could say anything, even the small profiteer Mingshi couldn't stand it anymore and complained to August.
"Hehe, you can't talk like that, little kitty. Akagi of you Sakura Empire's tactics are not much better than ours."
"She's much better now, meow, but you guys are making it worse, meow!"
Just as Lin Lan was listening to his fellow shipgirls chatting and preparing to take out his phone to call Qi Yue, he suddenly heard someone calling his name from the side:
"Lin Lan, you're finally here!"
He looked in the direction of the voice and saw the female commander in a white Admiralty uniform.
"Well, Senior, it's raining a bit hard today. Sorry for being late."
Lin Lan said with a faint smile that Qi Yue also brought her ship girl with her today, and two young commanders followed her.
"Are you Lin Lan, Luo Tao's classmate? You are indeed a promising young man. Nice to meet you!"
The bloody plot that Lin Lan imagined, where someone would come up to provoke him, did not happen.
The two commanders actually greeted Lin Lan with friendly smiles on their faces.
Seeing the two commanders extending their hands to him so enthusiastically, Lin Lan had no choice but to smile and shake hands with them respectively.
"Haha, they are all commanders of the county port area of Yalang City. They all come from well-off families. Luo Tao specifically instructed us to help you buy equipment this time."
Qi Yue introduced the identities of these two people to Lin Lan with a faint smile. Only then did Lin Lan understand why these two commanders were so enthusiastic about him.
It turned out that it was all arranged by Luo Tao. These two people wanted to do Luo Tao a favor, or you could say they were investing in him.
It seems that his good classmate has already established a firm foothold in Yalang City. With so many people willing to do favors for Luo Tao, Lin Lan feels relieved.
"This is the exhibition area on the first floor. The warship equipment trade fair will start on the second floor soon. Let's go up and take a seat. This trade fair will be held in the form of a lottery. It's really unusual."
After exchanging a few pleasantries about daily port work and praising each other's ship girls for being so powerful, Qi Yue glanced at the watch on his wrist and said to Lin Lan.
"Well, this is my first time attending a trade fair, and I thought the rules had always been the same. Today, I will rely on the care of the seniors."
