"The TB System is a system program created to assist the Commander in exploring unknown sea areas. It can help the Commander manage daily port affairs and also act as a Navigator during sea exploration."
"The TB System has received unanimous praise from a wide range of Commanders and has provided immense help in assisting Commanders explore unknown sea areas."
"Therefore, Headquarters has decided that even if a Port Area has not entered a large world for exploration, as long as its level reaches A-Class, it can be equipped with a TB System to assist its maritime operations. TB Miss is here precisely for this reason. As for Headquarters' official document, it has arrived along with TB Miss."
TB Miss's voice was exceptionally soft and gentle, very light, yet it didn't feel weak. Instead, it sounded very pleasant and melodious, and there was no issue with not being able to hear clearly. It was just that her speaking pace was unhurried, pausing occasionally, taking a long time to finish speaking.
But, it truly sounded wonderful.
Wang Yu shook his head abruptly. What the hell are you thinking? Do you really want to defect?
Putting aside his bold thoughts, Wang Yu felt that Headquarters' official document seemed to be specifically aimed at him. Wang Yu looked around at the few Ship Girls in his Port Area.
Is it too late for me to apply for a Port Area downgrade? After all, my Port Area only has a few people, completely unworthy of the high prestige of an A-Class Port Area.
Of course, he didn't dare to say these words out loud: "So, you are just here to provide help to all A-Class Port Areas, and my Port Area just happens to have reached A-Class, so TB Miss, you were dispatched by Headquarters, right?"
"Yes, Commander! That's right!"
I'd be damned if I believed you! If you weren't targeting me, I'd lick the soles of your feet clean!
Seeing that resistance was futile, Wang Yu decided to let nature take its course. There was nothing he could do if he didn't.
He wouldn't dare to sleep so soundly every night from now on. The Port Area was no longer safe; he had to be ready to pack up and run away with his Ship Girls at any moment.
"So, TB Miss, what kind of help can you usually provide to the Port Area?" Wang Yu asked.
"TB Miss comes with a special sensing system that can enhance the strength of the Port Area's external detection radar, enabling it to detect smaller signal fluctuations and more distant sea areas. If the Commander is willing to grant permission, TB Miss can also control all defenses of the entire Port Area through the Command Center system. When TB Miss takes over the entire Port Area's defense, the overall defensive strength of the Port Area will increase by at least 30%."
Damn it, that's absolutely impossible!
Wang Yu rejected this request without even thinking.
An increase of at least 30% in defensive strength is indeed astonishing, but I must be tired of living to hand over all Port Area permissions to you. What's the difference between that and directly defecting?
No way, no way, there's no way a Commander would actually do that, right?
"No, there's no need for TB Miss to be responsible for the Port Area's defense for now. The Port Area's current defensive strength is sufficient. If possible, then I'll trouble TB Miss to help monitor the surrounding sea areas." Wang Yu flatly refused TB Miss's free traversal service.
"Command confirmed. Enhancing surrounding sea area monitoring network... TB System officially activated..." The soft, sweet voice sounded again. After a flicker, TB Miss actually detached from the holographic projection device and materialized out of thin air on the ground. Her form was much more solid than before.
TB Miss floated less than a foot above the ground, slowly drifting towards Wang Yu, stopping a few steps in front of him.
Wang Yu's mind stirred, and he walked over directly, tentatively reaching out his hand. Anyway, TB Miss definitely wouldn't do anything to him now, so he was a bit bolder.
As expected, he touched nothing. TB Miss didn't speak, just stared at Wang Yu with her light blue eyes. Wang Yu could only awkwardly withdraw his hand.
Not only had she swaggered into his Port Area, but she was also in an unselectable, invincible state.
The holographic projection device flickered for a moment before resuming operation. The map of the surrounding sea area was projected again, only this time the entire holographic projection was much more realistic. Details that were unclear before could now be seen clearly.
For example, when he previously detected Sirens, he could only see markers of Siren Ship Girls floating on the sea in the holographic projection. Now, controlling the detection radar, he switched to a more precise designated sea area exploration mode and could see a team of Azure Lane supply fleets passing through his defensive sea area on the surrounding sea area projection.
Wang Yu finally understood. Siren technology was indeed not just a little stronger than Azure Lane; it was almost completely crushing it!
No wonder Navigator Miss was able to infiltrate his Port Area so smoothly. TB Miss was simply too useful.
Regardless of whether Headquarters realized there was a problem with the TB System, based on the capabilities TB Miss had currently demonstrated, it was normal for TB Miss to be highly valued by Azure Lane before her Siren identity was exposed. Moreover, Headquarters surely wouldn't be completely unprepared. TB Miss's security was most likely confirmed, but whether they were technologically outmatched was unknown. However, it's likely that TB Miss herself has some limitations; she couldn't possibly be like Dream Weaver herself.
He thought for a moment and then said, "Then I'll trouble TB Miss to temporarily stay in the Command Center. I have some other matters to attend to, so I'll leave for a while."
With that, he turned and left with Gascogne, leaving only Glorious and TB Miss to guard the Command Center.
In the Commander's office.
Wang Yu lay on his desk, deep in thought.
He chased out the restless little York, who kept muttering that love would disappear, from his office.
Wang Yu now only felt his thoughts were chaotic, his mind a muddle.
He picked up Headquarters' intelligence file, glanced at it, and then put it aside. Work he could normally complete diligently, he now had no interest in.
Gascogne silently organized all the documents that needed to be processed, her eyes scanning through each file like a scanner, then reorganizing them in order and setting them aside.
"Master, Gascogne has organized all the documents. There is no particularly important information that needs to be reported to Master for now. If Master needs it, Gascogne has already organized the content by the importance of the documents."
Wang Yu waved his hand, saying somewhat weakly, "I know, Gascogne, let me be quiet for a while..."
After saying that, he returned to his previous lazy state.
Gascogne felt a little strange. What was wrong with her Master again? Why did he suddenly seem to have lost all his strength?
But she didn't know what to do at the moment. The Secretary Ship's code of conduct didn't cover these situations at all.
So she could only silently record the Commander's current state in her database for future analysis.
Wang Yu looked at her with the same gaze Navigator Miss used to appraise him, and only felt even more exhausted.
