Azur Lane: The Azure Life of the Tragic Admiral

She immediately realized the reason and explained:

"I am just speaking objectively. Although I have a bad impression of him, he is a talent worth cultivating in all aspects. There is no need to let him take risks for a bet. Besides..."

"Okay, okay, I know. But I didn't expect you to understand these things so clearly."

"Because I suspect that guy is capable of building more than just the Royal Navy's shipgirls. It's just that... he doesn't want to build our White Eagle's shipgirls."

☆

In the villa room, Javelin was defeated by Yang Sikang's exquisite head massage and fell into a deep sleep.

Belfast carried her back to the room to rest. Yang Sikang leaned on the soft back of the sofa, closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

Family members know their own business. Although he now acts as if he can build any ship girl he wants, in fact, how can it be so easy?

The reason why he was so accurate in both constructions was due to one thing: he had a good understanding of the ship girls and was able to communicate better.

How could he not know how much he is worth?

Not to mention the distance, even the royal camp itself is not something he can build whenever he wants. How can it be that simple?

But he can't expose this kind of thing now. Fortunately, at this stage he doesn't need to worry about being asked to build some strange ship girl.

White Eagle would definitely not ask him to build any ship girls with special identities, such as... Her Majesty the Queen who is always 11 years old and the old lady beside her.

And now, his best choice is still the royal maid.

This doesn't even have anything to do with personal preference. In terms of loyalty and confidentiality, it is limited to the Royal Camp, which has a close relationship with the White Eagle but is not the core camp of the White Eagle. There are really not many options.

What's more, he now has Belfast by his side and a head maid here, so the other members of the maid team are naturally the priority options.

"Master, won't you take a rest?"

The gentle voice brought Yang Sikang's scattered thoughts back to normal. He opened his eyes, looked at Belfast in front of him, and shook his head.

"No, there's no time to rest. Sit down and talk."

Belfast also sat down.

She was very good in this regard. Although she was a maid, she knew what her master wanted and did not make any meaningless excuses.

Yang Sikang didn't care about it. After thinking about it, he said:

"I had expected that the White Eagle Ship Girl from the Azur Lane headquarters would come over here after receiving the news.

But things seem to be different from what I expected. I thought that at least one or two people from the Royals would come, and...they shouldn't be from Memphis."

"Why do you say that?"

“It’s simple, the one from Memphis who came is from the family, and so is Lexington.

There can't be only one Memphis in the Azur Lane headquarters, right? And given her ability, she must be of a high status. The same goes for Lexington.

If it was because of me, they shouldn't have come, and it's even more impossible for them to leave first with a small number of guards."

"You mean, they actually have other things to do, and your matter is just handled as a side job?"

"Yes, and it should be a big deal..."

Yang Sikang frowned and sighed helplessly.

"But I can't think of anything that would be worth both of them making a special trip."

"I think, Master, you are worrying too much."

Yang Sikang turned to look at Belfast in surprise. Belfast smiled and said slowly:

"Didn't you also say that there are only two people on the other side now?

Since there are other people coming after them, it may be a little too hasty for you to consider this issue now.

Maybe when the follow-up people arrive, the matter will be clear. And you also said that the royal family should send someone."

"No one from the Royals will come. If they send anyone, they will definitely come with Memphis and Lexington, not with the large group behind."

Thinking of this, Yang Sikang could only sigh again.

"But you're right. The rest of their group hasn't arrived yet. It's a bit too hasty to think about this now. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry..."

"But you can drink tea even if you are impatient. Master, it seems that the tea set you purchased has been delivered."

Yang Sikang turned his head and looked outside the door. Sure enough, the delivery person was waiting at the door of the villa.

"Thank you, Belfast."

Watching Belfast go to receive the goods, Yang Sikang's thoughts began to wander again.

What was the main purpose of the Azur Lane headquarters sending people here was not something he should care about, but what happened to him was questionable.

How to choose the ship girl to build later, he must be extremely cautious in every choice.

On the one hand, he has to establish the highest value of his current personality, that is, his ability to build the ship girl he wants. On the other hand, he has to consider the help that the built ship girl will provide to his current and future plans.

This kind of thing is easier said than done, especially since the identities of many of the Royal Family’s ship girls are relatively sensitive.

These questions were inevitable when he chose the Royal Faction’s shipgirls. The maid team, the knight team, the noble team, plus the different characteristics of each shipgirl, there were too many factors for him to consider.

For example, if he built the Queen Elizabeth now, the royal family would come to talk to him within a month after it was completed.

With a long sigh, Yang Sikang knew that it would be difficult to get any results if he continued to daydream like this.

My eyes naturally fell on Belfast's back. As expected, I still felt that it would be more reliable to discuss with the head maid.

Chapter 31 The Arrival of the Troops and Bargaining with Memphis

The main force arrived in the afternoon of the next day.

However, just as Yang Sikang expected, no one in the large army coming behind him cared about his little thing at all.

When everyone arrived, they went straight into the office building, and no one came to look for him.

This made him breathe a sigh of relief, but the doubts in his heart also became stronger.

He has been in this home port for more than half a year, but what could be worth mobilizing so many troops from the Azur Lane headquarters?

Just by looking from a distance he could be sure that there were more than five battleships and aircraft carriers in the accompanying team.

Moreover, there are an incredible number of mass-produced ships, which is almost equal to the defense force of this home port.

The three words "big move" were clearly printed on his forehead. Except for the fact that the commanders' forces were not mobilized, this action was already a big move.

Of course, we have to put aside the overall large-scale operation of Azur Lane, otherwise there is no comparison at all.

Unfortunately, Yang Sikang had no way of finding out what they were going to do.

After considering his own situation and realizing that it was impossible for him to take the initiative to understand the specific situation, Yang Sikang no longer spent time paying attention to this matter.

There were naturally rewards for the previous emergency battle, and because he temporarily took over the command and made quite good commands, the resources given to him were an order of magnitude more than those given to others.

The number of Mind Cubes he had on hand reached 10 at once. This battle alone gave him 8 Mind Cubes!

Don’t think that 8 are too few. You should know that he has been interning for half a year. Although he was mostly studying, he also did a lot during this period.

But before the battle started, he only had two Rubik's Cubes!

The number of commanders and the number of Rubik's Cubes determine the rarity and preciousness of the Rubik's Cubes. That means he has some skills and Belfast is there, otherwise he might not even have two Rubik's Cubes.

However, although the amount of cubes given was small, the supplies were obviously much more generous.

His originally scarce general supply coins directly reached 30,000, in addition to which he also obtained a full set of ship equipment that could be used by Belfast and Javelin.

Although most of them are only of blue quality, the value of these ship equipment alone is quite high.

And unlike in the game, in addition to equipping ship equipment, the ship girls can use some consumables, such as some signal transmitters, additional smoke bombs, etc.

These things are basically to make up for some necessary but missing abilities.

Especially smoke bombs, this thing can be used in so many scenarios.

He doesn't need extra things like smoke bombs and smoke tubes.

With Belfast around, her own smoke bombs would be enough if they were properly distributed.

But he can sell these things to other people, and it's also a considerable amount of money.

In addition, the most common items are various types of daily necessities.

These things are daily necessities, such as bedding, mattresses, etc., so there is no need to say much about the quality.

The things they gave as gifts were much more high-end than those bought by Yang Sikang. One could tell at a glance that they were luxury items that he could not afford.

He also thoughtfully bought some utensils that I didn't buy completely when I was shopping before. The only regret was that there was no royal tea set, but he bought all of them himself.

It’s not surprising that the smallest amount among the generous rewards is actually US dollars.

More than 20,000 supply coins were given, and normally, the commander would use supply coins much more often than US dollars.

Moreover, those commanders with wealthy families are very happy to use US dollars to purchase supply coins.

He only had a general understanding of these things, and the specific task of counting and sorting was naturally taken over by Belfast.

Javelin was very considerate and ran excitedly to help Belfast, so Yang Sikang was left with nothing to do.

The two ship girls unfolded their ship equipment and were moving things, so it was really not his turn to go up and help.

However, he was concerned about the change in attitude from the port area.

It’s not that Hong Kong looked down on him before, but in the past few days, especially the people who delivered these things, it can be seen with the naked eye that their attitude towards him has become very good, and their words and actions are even respectful.

Because I was good at commanding the battle before?

Ding dong.

The doorbell brought his thoughts back to his senses. Yang Sikang got up from the sofa and saw a figure in the direction of the door.

"Memphis? Why is she here?"

Although he was mumbling to himself, he did not slack off at all.

If he goes out and opens the door for the other party in person, I believe that no one will give him a cold shoulder, right?

Seeing Yang Sikang coming to open the door personally, Memphis's expression indeed eased a lot. Although it still smelled a bit, it was still tolerable.

"Miss Memphis, why are you here? Please come in."

"Commander Yang came to open the door himself. Is Miss Belfast not here?"

"They are just busy. I have nothing to do, so naturally I am the one to open the door."

When the two returned to the living room, Belfast was already brewing tea.

Because the house is now fully furnished, snacks such as cakes and puddings are almost always available.

When Belfast is free, he will make some and store it in the refrigerator properly. The quantity is basically enough to be eaten by them within two days.

If they occasionally have nothing to eat, other commanders they meet will surely be happy to help them solve the problem.

Exquisite cakes, biscuits and steaming hot black tea.

Memphis simply took a small sip, and his expression quickly relaxed.

Sweet treats always make people happy, and cakes are even better.

"You are worthy of being the head royal maid. These cakes and cookies taste much better than those sold in the shops on the street.

Black tea is also very good, it makes people happy both physically and mentally.

With Miss Belfast's skills alone, she can make a lot of money even if she doesn't rush to work in the port area."

"You can't say that. After all, you have decided to be a good commander. You can't just stay in the home port and rely on the ship girls to get by, right?

Besides, doing this kind of mission can make a lot more money than opening a dessert shop, and the reward this time is really quite a lot."

"We are always willing to help outstanding commanders. But because they are outstanding, they should be more thoughtful when making decisions, right?"

Memphis raised his eyebrows, obviously realizing that beating around the bush with Yang Sikang was useless, so he decided to come clean and speak directly:

"I heard that you made a bet with the company and wanted to shorten the required three-year internship period to one year?"

It turned out that this was what I came for.

Yang Sikang calmed down a little, nodded and replied:

"Yes, it happened, and the bet has been made."

"Once it's decided, it can still be changed."
