I, Laffey, am a good ship girl!

Those who are lucky can succeed in building it in one go, and the remaining mind cubes can all be exchanged for supplies, which means that their own ship girl will be ahead of others from the starting line.

Those who are unlucky may not even have a mental Rubik's Cube left. During the four years in college, they can only rely on their own efforts to earn credits and supplies.

Isn't it fair?

Of course it's not fair.

But there has never been true fairness in this world.

We are all adults now, so don't have such unrealistic fantasies.

The most important thing is to build a ship girl.

There were commanders in the past who didn't have a single Mind Cube left when they first started building, but ended up applying for the existence of a port area when they graduated.

Luck is important.

But only a few people can truly change their destiny through luck.

"Yeah, Rafi knows."

Lafite nodded to show that he understood Shangri-La's kindness, but what he wanted in his heart was to let Shangri-La leave quickly.

How could she cheat if Shangri-La stayed by her side all the time?

He is totally unaware of the blessings he has.

The commanders nearby were so envious when they saw a ship girl actually talking to Laffey that they almost exploded with envy. They quickly let go of that ship girl and let me take over!

Although the commanders here have not yet begun to learn about the knowledge of ship girls, they can still identify

The identity and alignment of a ship girl is the basic skill of a commander.

In the official channel of the Maritime Administration, some knowledge about KanColle is often revealed.

A big ship is not necessarily a big sister.

But the big sister definitely can’t be a small boat!

"If I'm not mistaken."

A commander had a gleam in his eyes.

"She should be the teacher Shangri-La who is in charge of logistics in the academy. She is the 20th ship of the Essex-class aircraft carrier of the White Eagle, a golden and super rare aircraft carrier ship girl. Her training level is as high as level . She is only one step away from becoming the branch director of the local ship girl branch."

In this world, a ship girl with a training level of over level 70 is considered to be able to take charge of things on her own, and a ship girl with a training level of over level 80 can completely become the head of a local ship girl branch.

Just like Ningchuan, the city where Lafite first met the Royal Ark, Yorktown, the director of the Ningchuan Ship Girl Branch, had a training level of just over level 80.

Leaving aside the weak ship girls, it is no secret among all the commanders which powerful ship girls there are in the Tianhai Commander Academy.

As long as you have some information channels, you can get some simple intelligence from other commanders.

For new commanders, the ship girls who serve as teachers in the academy are the pinnacle of what they can encounter. As for those who are just figureheads like Warspite and Glory, they are characters that only appear in news reports.

So what if I’m a teacher?

Just because I'm a teacher, I want to make money!

If Rafi wasn't such a cute little girl, the looks from the commanders around her would be murderous.

However, these commanders soon ran out of distractions.

Because the construction has begun.

Shangri-La hadn't left yet. It seemed that because Lafei was too young, she was worried about accidents, so she stood aside and gave instructions: "The first step of construction is to awaken the mind cube. If someone's mental strength is not strong enough, he can't even do this first step, then there is no way he can become a commander."

“Then it’s time to commit resources.”

"It is said that some commanders can hear the voices of ship girls when they touch the Mind Cube. When encountering such situations, the ones summoned are almost always super rare ship girls."

As he spoke, Shangri-La looked at Lafite with encouragement.

"Sister Lafei, your soul network is the best among all the commanders I have ever seen. I believe you can definitely build a ship girl that suits you."

So, can you please go faster?

"Hmm? Sister Rafi, don't you want to build a battleship? Why did you only use one Mind Cube? Are you worried about the construction failing? It doesn't matter, Sister Rafi, you can definitely do it..."

Shangri-La paused in the middle of her words.

Because she saw that after Rafi used the Mind Cube, the materials in the construction machine were consumed rapidly, and the construction time was finally fixed at a number.

【0:33:00】

Construction begins!

......

Chapter 4: The First Ship Girl

Succeeded?

He wanted to say something, but when he saw the time on the construction machine had started to change, Shangri-La swallowed the rest of his words.

"As expected of a commander chosen by the glorious senior, not only is the soul network powerful, but luck is also good, and the construction was successful on the first try."

Shangri-La thought secretly in his heart.

Some scholars have studied that no matter whether one or two mind cubes are put in, the probability of building a ship girl in the end is only 50%.

The remaining fifty percent is because the ship girls were not awakened, and the invested resources were automatically converted into technology boxes.

Therefore, commanders with good luck will be able to successfully build a ship girl every time they carry out a major construction project.

A commander with bad luck might fail in several consecutive night attacks.

So there is a saying that if we stockpile as many supplies as possible and build at one time, the possibility of construction failure will be infinitely close to zero.

This is not metaphysics, but probability!

A smart commander would not believe in unscientific things like metaphysics.

"Oh, it worked in one try!"

Lafite swung his fist forward with all his might. I don’t know if it was Shangri-La’s illusion, but did Lafite’s punch just now create a bit of wind?

"Could it be that Rafi's luck has improved?"

In other words, although Lafite generally doesn't have good luck, she has good luck.

Do you want to try again?

Weighing the remaining mind cube in his hand, Lafite looked eagerly at the construction machines around him that had not yet started construction. If he didn't build it twice more while his luck was good, what would he do if his luck got worse in the future?

As a result, before Rafi could take action, a big hand fell from above her head and snatched the Mind Cube from her hand.

"Sister Rafi, I'm sorry."

Shangri-La's apologetic voice sounded.

"After each commander successfully builds, the remaining mind cubes will be recycled. But don't worry, we will exchange the mind cubes for materials of equal value. If you want to exchange them for destroyer equipment for your ship girl, that's fine too."

The construction took less than an hour, and Shangri-La was 90% sure that what Lafite had built was a destroyer, and an elite purple one at that.

Twenty years have passed since the appearance of the construction machine.

The time required to build a ship girl will be recorded, so some experienced commanders can guess the name of the ship girl they built just by looking at the construction time.

Is Rafi a seasoned commander?

It must be!

Laffey is not bragging, there are few people in this world who understand KanColle better than her.

Those that take less than fifteen minutes to build are most likely submarines. Those that take nineteen minutes to build are Royal A-class destroyers, those that take twenty minutes are Royal B-class destroyers and Sakura Empire's Kamikaze-class destroyers, and those that take twenty-one minutes are Royal C-class destroyers and Sakura Empire's Mutsuki-class destroyers.

This area is also called the Hell Area by commanders.

All blue sky and white clouds.

As long as it is not in this range, there are more possibilities.

Rafi remembered that there were not many ship girls whose construction time was less than thirty-three minutes.

There is only one most likely ship girl.

But what does this have to do with her wanting to do more construction?

Lafite's eyes made Shangri-La startled.

This is the look of a gambler!

Even the most outstanding and self-disciplined commander cannot avoid the trap called "construction".

Give it a try and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle.

As long as you build a ship girl, you can earn back double the resources.

The expansion of the port area is a snowball.

One life two, two beget three, three beget all things.

Once there are more than two fleets of ship girls in the port, the speed of building ship girls will be as fast as making dumplings.

However, some are happy while others are sad. Some succeed in building the ship, while others fail. Years of savings go down the drain, and even the expectations of the ship girls around them are let down.

Fortunately, Rafi is just a rookie commander. Without the help of the academy, there is no way to build it...

"I don't want yours."

Just heard Rafi say this.

“I’ll build it myself.”

As he spoke, Lafite reached into his pocket and took out a mind cube in front of Shangri-La.

One, and another.

In a blink of an eye, nine were lined up in front of Shangri-La.

No, how can you fit so many mind cubes in your pocket?

Forget about Shangri-La, the eyes of the surrounding reserve commanders were almost popping out of their heads.

Are you the daughter of some big boss commander?

Whose reserve commander comes with nine mind cubes right at the start?

They are still worried about what to do if the construction fails.

As a result, Lafite has no worries at all. Counting the three mind cubes of the academy, there are twelve mind cubes in total. It should be possible that he can't even build a destroyer, right?

"This... could it be that Senior Guanghui gave it to you?"

Shangri-La could only think of this possibility because she knew that Lafite did not have a commander father at all. Although she did not have a commander father, she had a ship girl mother, a legendary ship girl as her adoptive mother.

Moreover, she is not just an ordinary legendary ship girl.

In Donghuang, the most powerful ship girl is undoubtedly the legendary war-weary Minister. Next, Glory is definitely a strong contender for the second place.

Generally speaking, even if a ship girl obtains a Mind Cube, in most cases she will hand it in, because the Mind Cube is of no use to her and it is better to exchange it for some useful resources and equipment.

It can be said that the official reserve of Mind Cubes basically comes from free ship girls who do not have a port, because even in the case of extreme shortage of supplies, the commanders of the port will not hand in the Mind Cubes.

Even if she starved to death, she would borrow and rob to get the commander of the port area to hand over the Mind Cube.

Three words.

impossible!

“Can Rafi be built now?”

Rafi looked at Shangri-La with bright eyes, her spirit of Dajian was burning fiercely.

She can't wait!

"Sister Rafi."

But at this moment, a gentle voice sounded.

"Are you sure you want to continue building?"

"What do you mean?"

"Newly born ship girls are all very fragile. Sister Laffy, are you sure you can take care of so many ship girls?"

The sudden appearance of light and the war-weariness that was hiding in the dark and spying on him.
