Azur Lane, I really didn’t lose my memory!

Speaking of the benchmark for damaged heavy cruisers, Lu Xiuyuan immediately thought of Portland.

Azur Lane was once... no, it still is a human rights ship.

Portland has excellent strength that is not commensurate with her purple skin.

It is said that before the change, Porter is blue, after the change, Porter is purple, and in actual combat, Porter is gold.

It's a pity that Portland has also been booked...

There are currently no candidates for the damaged heavy cruiser and the anti-aircraft light cruiser, so Lu Xiuyuan plans to take Lafite to the White Eagle camp's dormitory to try his luck.

After all, there are many White Eagle ship girls who are good at taking damage and air defense, not to mention that Laffey is also a White Eagle ship girl. If you go to the White Eagle dormitory and take a look, you might be able to find suitable teammates.

However, on the way to the White Eagle Camp dormitory, Lu Xiuyuan and Lafei passed by an outdoor tennis court next to the school...

Little Lafite was walking side by side with Lu Xiuyuan, but as they walked, Lafite suddenly discovered...the commander stopped moving and stood there looking in the direction of the tennis court.

Rafi asked in confusion: "What's wrong, Commander? Didn't you say you were going to the White Eagle dormitory to find the reliable heavy cruiser sister and light cruiser sister?"

"No." Lu Xiuyuan looked towards the tennis court: "I've found it."

On the tennis court, a big sister with pink twin ponytails and a sports skirt was swinging her racket.

The beautiful girl, full of youthful energy, was sweating profusely.

Opposite her, playing with her, was a gentle wife with white hair and blue eyes...

140-Team Selection

As early autumn approaches and the weather gradually becomes cooler and the temperature drops, more and more ship girls choose to go out for sports.

In the tennis court in the port area, beautiful girls swung their rackets and hit the tennis balls away with a series of dull hitting sounds.

Two of the youthful and graceful figures attracted Lu Xiuyuan's attention.

Lu Xiuyuan brought the little destroyer to the tennis court, pushed open the door of the tennis court, and sat on a bench in the audience seats with Lafite.

The game reached the tense moment of match point.

Mrs. Guanghui held the racket and was ready for battle.

Facing the tennis ball hit back by Bremerton, Mrs. Glorious held the racket tightly in her hand.

A good angle!

When Mrs. Guanghui was about to put the button back, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Lu Xiuyuan sitting in the audience.

"Commander..." Guanghui was stunned for a moment and muttered subconsciously.

Swah——

While he was distracted, the tennis ball fell rapidly beside Guanghui with a sound of breaking through the air.

The yellow chicken acting as the referee blew the whistle and the game ended.

"Nice! A killer kill!"

Bremerton jumped up excitedly. She was about to play another round with Guanghui when she saw her good friend suddenly abandon her and trot straight towards the audience seats.

In a corner of the audience, there were two familiar figures, one big and one small.

Bremerton had good eyesight. The smaller one was Laffite from her own camp, and the larger one was... the commander? But how could the commander be here? She remembered that the old dormitory where the commander lived was some distance away from here.

After being surprised for a few seconds, Bremerton picked up his energy drink and sports towel and followed Guanghui's steps to Lu Xiuyuan's side.

"Commander, are you here to play ball too?" Mrs. Guanghui walked up to Lu Xiuyuan and asked. She obviously still remembered the last time the commander came home for dinner, she tried unsuccessfully to invite the commander to play ball.

Lu Xiuyuan sat on the bench and looked up.

Mrs. Guanghui was leaning against the sun, and under the sunlight, she looked like an extremely holy saint.

Her fair skin was slightly flushed, and there was a little sweat on her slender neck.

The best part is, because I just finished an intense workout not too long ago.

Mrs. Guanghui was breathing slightly, and her full chest rose and fell rhythmically with her breathing. She looked very pleasing to the eye and very feminine.

"Yes, Commander, let's play together! I also want to try a new opponent." Bremerton walked over while wiping his sweat with a sports towel and drinking a sports drink. After all, the two of them had a close relationship, so Bremerton was not so restrained.

Lu Xiuyuan looked towards Bremerton. The girl was wearing a loose top that just covered her chest. Sitting in Lu Xiuyuan's position, she could see the beautiful scenery of the southern hemisphere as long as she raised her head slightly.

Bremerton and Glory were both ship girls who had had physical contact with each other, so Lu Xiuyuan didn't need to be too restrained. He skipped the polite greetings and said, "No, I have something to do today. Let's do it another day."

"What's up?" Guanghui, who had a neat ponytail, looked at Bremerton and asked curiously, "Commander...what's up?"

Guanghui glanced at Lafite who was brought in by the commander and asked, "Is it related to Lafite?"

Lu Xiuyuan nodded and was about to speak, but Lafei spoke first: "Commander, do you want to help Lafei find a friend?"

"Little friend?"

"Ahem... it's like this." The little girl's words were a little confusing, so Lu Xiuyuan explained:

"Lafite wants to participate in the port exercise at the end of the month, and asked me to help her find teammates. And at the moment, our team is still short of two front-row ship girls, um... or one front-row ship girl and one back-row ship girl."

The advantage of Kizuna Ai is reflected here. If there is really a lack of front-line ship girls, Kizuna Ai can take the position of heavy cruiser and destroyer, so that all you need to do is find another battleship.

Both Glory and Bremerton are very smart. The Commander has made his point very clear.

Guanghui asked: "Commander, do you want us to join Rafi's team?"

"That's right, what do you think?"

Lu Xiuyuan had his own plans in mind.

If Bremerton and Glory can be invited to join their team, it will undoubtedly be a qualitative improvement in the team's strength.

Bremerton has relatively good panel data among heavy cruisers, and its air defense and damage output capabilities are also pretty good. It is definitely an excellent candidate for a heavy cruiser.

Not to mention the glory.

Although the Radiant Lady is a gold-skinned aircraft carrier that has not been upgraded since its launch, the output capacity of its carrier-based aircraft is really a bit...

But her air control ability and maternal love shield are strong!

Especially the air control capability!

When aircraft carriers face off, fighter jets...that is, air superiority is crucial.

Yes, that's right.

The output capabilities of a number of colorful aircraft carriers like Bailong are indeed explosive, but no matter how strong the output capabilities are, if the fighter jets fail to defeat the opponent's fighter jets in the air control phase, then in the case of air control disadvantage, no matter how strong the output capabilities are, they will be in vain.

After hearing Lu Xiuyuan's invitation to form a team, Mrs. Guanghui and Bremerton looked embarrassed: "Um... Commander, I'm sorry, we already have an appointment with others... So..."

"Did you have an appointment in advance? But I didn't see any news in the group that you agreed to form a team?" Lu Xiuyuan said.

"That's because it was offline... so it wasn't mentioned in the chat group..." Bremerton said.

"That's it..."

Lu Xiuyuan was poured a bucket of cold water. He originally thought that since no one had invited Glory and Bremerton, he could just take advantage of the ready-made ones. But now it seems that he still has a long way to go to find teammates.

"Commander... don't be discouraged."

Lafei stretched out her little hand, tugged at Lu Xiuyuan's clothes and encouraged him, "Lafei... is very strong... As long as the commander is by her side, even if there are three people on the opposite side, Lafei can defeat them... probably..."

Listening to the little girl's words of comfort, Lu Xiuyuan was a little moved. But Lafei, I still know how much you are worth...

Although Lu Xiuyuan did not participate in the competition with the mentality of winning the championship from the beginning, he still wanted to try his best to get a better ranking for Lafite.

The expressions of the commander and Rafi changed from excitement and anticipation before the conversation to disappointment and depression after the conversation.

Mrs. Guanghui felt a little reluctant.

But he and Bremerton had already promised others, and it would not be appropriate to change their minds at the last minute.

After thinking for a while, Mrs. Guanghui came up with a compromise: "That commander... Although we can't join Lafite's team, I can recommend a candidate for you."

"Recommended candidates?"

Guanghui nodded: "The commander is not sure who has been booked and who has not been booked. It's like looking for a headless fly, which is a waste of time."

"As for who has been booked and who has not been booked, I should know more about this than the commander."

"So Commander, you just need to tell me what kind of ship girl you need. I will try my best to pick out the ones I know who meet your requirements and have not been booked, so as to save the Commander's time in finding people."

"Yes, Commander, I can also help you find candidates among the people I know." Bremerton agreed.

Lu Xiuyuan thought about it and felt that what the two said made sense. He had not been in the port area for long and was not as familiar with the small society in the port area as Guanghui and Bremerton.

Besides, it is more efficient for three people to think together than for him to think alone.

Lu Xiuyuan stated his request: "It would be best if there is a heavy cruiser ship girl and a light cruiser ship girl."

"I will simply state my request."

"First of all, the heavy cruiser must be able to withstand damage, have air defense, output damage, have radar, and be equipped with underwater listening."

"Secondly, for light cruisers, it's better to have stronger air defense, smoke screens, torpedoes, and more functionality, rather than just artillery patrols."

After hearing Lu Xiuyuan's request, Mrs. Guanghui and Bremerton suddenly felt embarrassed.

Commander... Your request is really not simple...

It must be able to resist, fight, defend against air attacks, and be functional...

Forehead...

Under normal circumstances, there are still some such shipgirls that can be picked out, but now everyone is actively preparing for war, and such all-round shipgirls are very popular, and they were snatched up by others as soon as the announcement came out...

In her mind, Guanghui kept thinking about a ship girl that would meet the commander's requirements.

But the ship girls that can be thought of either lack air defense or functionality, and are always unable to perfectly meet the commander's requirements.

This cannot be blamed on Glory. Most of the ship girls who have not been reserved yet have some "defects" to a certain extent, otherwise they would not be "picked aside".

"Have it!"

Bremerton suddenly slammed his fists together, making a crisp sound and said, "Commander, I recommend someone."

"Who?"

"My sister, Baltimore!" Bremerton spared no effort to recommend his sister to Lu Xiuyuan: "Look, Commander, Sister Baltimore is fully equipped and has rich combat experience. She can defend against air attacks, can output damage, has radar, and can listen to water. She is also the commander's full-level wedding ship..."

"But...I don't think Baltimore can handle the injury..."

For a heavy cruiser, the most important thing is its ability to withstand damage.

Baltimore certainly has excellent stats in all aspects, but...she's a glass cannon!

"Um...it seems like that..."

Bremerton was clear about his sister's shortcomings.

"But there's no better choice right now, so let's book Baltimore first."

Lu Xiuyuan also realized that the ship girls who had not yet been reserved all had some shortcomings to a certain extent.

But now that things have come to this, we can only "pick the best from the worst and find the best out of the worst."

"What about Santiago?"

"Santiago hasn't been booked either?" Lu Xiuyuan was a little surprised. There was actually a legendary ship girl on the sea that no one wanted?

Although Santiago has no smoke, except for the lack of smoke, her data in all aspects, especially her air defense capability, are among the best among light cruisers.

Back then, Lu Xiuyuan relied on Santiago’s abnormal air defense capabilities to shoot down countless concrete planes.

No one wants such a priority ship girl?

Bremerton then gave the reason, pointing to her head and saying, "Santiago... is a little bit not very smart..."

Lu Xiuyuan understood immediately that Santiago was quite capable but not very smart. Like Ai-chan, they were a pair of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix.

"Anyway... let's join the ranks of substitutes first."

Lu Xiuyuan had no choice but to think that having something was better than having nothing.

"Well! In that case, I have someone to recommend as well."

Bremerton's recommendation gave Glory some inspiration. If there is no ship girl who perfectly meets the commander's requirements, then a ship girl who is slightly biased is not a bad choice...

"How is Little Beifa?" Guanghui said, "Little Beifa has been following Maid Head Beifa to learn about maid work, so she must not have been invited to leave. If you, Commander, invite her, Little Beifa will definitely agree."

Little Beifa!

Lu Xiuyuan's eyes lit up!
