Louis IX breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down and continued to serve others, thinking that Mutsuki would lose interest after today.
As a result, not long after she arrived at the door the next day, she heard a series of light and messy footsteps behind her. Looking back, she found that they were other destroyers in the port.
"Sister Louis Jiusi, I'm here with my friends to play with you!"
Louis IX was speechless as he watched his sisters, big and small, staring at his spear.
"...take it."
"Great~~"
Chapter 623 Very useful/very delicious
After a long period of inactivity, people start to have nothing to do. For a commander like Su Xin who is usually low-key, there is nothing for her to worry about.
Apart from Ron and the long-term feeding of blueprints, the first phase of scientific research has been completed. There are fewer R&D projects and the scientific research equipment is nowhere to be seen.
Su Xin did not neglect the Rubik's Cube, but the time she spent absorbing it every day was a little shorter than before. After all, the arrival of the new ship girl required her to distract herself and help out.
She summoned the [Spirit] and asked it to help keep an eye on the outsider Eugen, while she took the time to call a small meeting with the ship girls who were unaware of the truth.
To the young ship girls like Mutsuki and Uzuki, Su Xin simply revealed her magical powers, and in their astonished and admiring gazes, she used the cat girl form to give them candies and coax them away.
As for the mature ship girls such as Formidable, Dunkirk, and the research ship, she also talked about the current situation of [Siren] and [Ashes], and the fact that there is a Purifier living in their home.
As a ship girl who was born after the winter event ended, I only saw a little bit about [Siren] on the news, so I didn’t know much about it. Now I accepted it very quickly and understood that it was a big secret.
Su Xin guessed that there was some cooperation between the Purifiers and the human high-level officials, but the authorities would never make such matters public, so the right attitude had to be shown. In the port area, the Purifiers were Jingzhe.
After exchanging information, everyone seemed quite calm, mainly because the fact that "not all of their commanders were human" was quite shocking. In comparison, the unfamiliar Purifiers naturally lacked shocking power.
After Izumo finished digesting, she felt a little embarrassed. At first, she looked down on the frail little conductor, but now she understood and realized that she was meddling in other people's business by asking them to do morning exercises.
But Su Xin didn't think so. For her, morning exercise was like a walk, and it was actually a good idea to use it as an excuse to get familiar with the new sisters as quickly as possible.
Anyway, since that day, Su Xin would still get up early and go out to spend time with Yun and Ibuki.
Izumo was quite surprised when he saw her for the first time and felt a little awkward, but he got used to her after two or three days. He even threw a wooden sword over and started practicing with the young commander.
Su Xin had never learned the orthodox kendo of Sakura Empire, nor had she practiced martial arts in Shaolin Temple or Emao Sect. At most, she had practiced dancing for a while.
The fight with Izumo completely depends on reaction speed. Although they can barely be called evenly matched, their moves are always inferior to each other.
Izumo and Ibuki simply acted as her teachers, only teaching her the techniques of attack and the ability to detect flaws, but they did not teach her any kendo skills.
Su Xin, who finally had something to do, studied hard and took some time out from working on the Rubik's Cube to improve her combat skills. It was a good deal no matter how you looked at it.
One day after returning home, she suddenly remembered that Ron was the only one left in the scientific research phase.
Although I don't plan to build it, I can use the Rubik's Cube to fill up the experience in advance. Maybe after meeting the conditions for launching the first phase of scientific research, I can unlock the second phase of scientific research?
Thinking of this, Su Xin became motivated. She spent a few minutes replenishing her experience. After making sure that Ron was ready to go into the water at any time, she carefully browsed through the [Scientific Research] interface.
As expected, I found the [Switch] option in the corner and successfully switched the first phase of scientific research to the second phase of scientific research interface.
Just like in the game, the second phase of research ships are still Seattle, Georgia, North Wind, Azuma, Frederick the Great and Gascony.
Compared with the first phase of scientific research, it seems that there is no way to use the Rubik's Cube to speed up the acquisition of ships in the second phase. Su Xin guessed that it might be because she had not unlocked any ship.
Initially, the monarch was created first, and then she discovered the catch-up function, which should also be applicable to the second phase.
As for which ship girl to develop first, Su Xin thought about it for a long time and finally decided on the Emperor.
The reason is actually very simple. The emperor is strong enough, and there is nothing to criticize about his character. As long as she is around, the sense of security is doubled, and the first issue of Ron can be released smoothly.
Besides, after unlocking the Emperor, it is estimated that other scientific research ships in the second phase can also use the magic cube to feed experience, which will not delay their own scientific research progress too much. Building them earlier can also allow the Emperor to eat up the blueprints earlier.
Su Xin decided this after calculating the pros and cons, but facing the total experience bar of 360 million was really dizzying.
"...It seems that I can only work harder during the summer event."
By mid-March, the port area had been completely transformed. Not only had the withered vegetation regained its vitality, but the courses in the lecture hall were also formally planned.
For the children, the schoolwork is a bit heavier than before, but they can meet their friends in class every day, and the teachers in the class are sisters they are familiar with, so they are naturally motivated.
The commercial street outside the port area is gradually getting back on track, with about half of the shops open for business.
Due to the geographical advantage, the wandering ship girls who go to the port area to buy equipment will also go shopping in the nearby commercial street in their spare time, which has invisibly boosted the economy, making it more and more popular and becoming a scenic spot.
Ye's bathhouse did not have good business at first, because the shop was located relatively far back and few people would walk from the beginning to the end of the commercial street.
Later, Ming Miao came up with a dirty trick. When the wandering ship girls came to the store to buy equipment, he secretly asked Little Swan and Xiang to go there as deputies.
"Alas... I drink milk every day, but there is no change at all..."
"Eh? We...we drank it too, but the effect...the effect is very obvious?"
Xiang raised the volume, and remained calm under the gaze of the wandering ship girls: "Really? Which one is it, Monli or Inu?"
"Eh? This...this..."
Compared to Xiang, Little Swan was a lot more thin-skinned. She suddenly forgot the words and had to pull her skirt, lower her head and stare, trying hard to decipher the cheat sheet above her.
"Well... we... we drink special milk while taking a bath, just... in the bathhouse at the end of the street, it's very comfortable, and... and the milk is very useful... no! It's very delicious... eh QA Q..."
Xiang was very troubled, afraid that others would notice something was wrong, so he quickly added a few words and ran away with the little swan.
But in fact, she was overthinking it. The ship girls were always innocent when facing their own kind. Seeing that the soft flesh on the destroyer's chest was indeed bigger than that of many of theirs, she began to feel like trying it.
"…The end of the street? The commercial street?"
“I’ve never been inside such a place…”
"or…....."
.......try it?"
"Don't get me wrong, I'm just too tired and want to take a bath. Come to think of it, I haven't relaxed in a long time."
"Well, who... who isn't? I'm just rewarding myself."
"...Then let's go together?"
"......become!"
So that afternoon, Ye, who was lying behind the counter doing nothing, welcomed the first fullness of the bathhouse, and milk was in short supply.
She inexplicably kept collecting money, and then delivered milk to people, bottle after bottle. If Ming Miao hadn't informed her in advance that no one was limited to one bottle, the stock would probably have been sold out that day.
This milk cannot be said to have any special features, but it is certainly not mass-produced. As a transport ship, it has a large cargo capacity and will go to the agreed farm to pick up the goods every Sunday.
Because the distance is short, the milk he gets is very fresh. In addition, Ye himself has unique insights into milk, so he blends it after buying it. The taste and nutritional value of the milk is much better than that of mass-market milk.
Of course, as for the function of breast enhancement, it can only be said that it is a matter of personal preference.
But the ship girls who came here because of its reputation didn't care about that. When they saw the two lumps of soft meat that the store owner had to put on the table, they believed it on the spot and had no time to doubt it.
Besides, milk is not expensive. It’s the same price as the same amount of pure milk outside, so it’s okay for them to buy some and try it.
The Queen was naturally happy for her friend when she saw this, and she even often went to the bathhouse to help. Otherwise, Ye might not be able to handle it all by himself.
Su Xin didn't know about these things outside the port area, otherwise she might have to buy a bottle to try it out. Although there is no scientific basis, what if?
The reason why she didn't pay attention to it was because when she was browsing the [Virtual Port Area], she suddenly caught a glimpse of an avatar that she hadn't noticed before.
The portraits of the ship girls in [Archives] are very large. I took a quick look at them last time and chose the familiar Yixian to review history. I was so annoyed by it that I haven’t opened it for a long time.
While flipping through the pages, I accidentally glanced at the bottom of the [File] list. It was a familiar face with a dim, grayish color.
Helena
Chapter 624 I'm so big! (Chest up
Helena and [Helena] are actually very similar, with similar hair color and similar clothing, but the difference is large in their eyes and temperament.
[Helena] is a little taller than Helena, but this is not obvious in the profile picture of [Archive]
And for some reason, the avatar of [Helena] was dark in color, making it very inconspicuous. In addition, it was at the bottom of the list, so Su Xin didn't find it until today.
Logically speaking, the ship history of [Helena] and Helena should be the same. After all, [METAization] cannot change the history inherited by the name.
If we follow this line of thought, the two should be grouped together in the archives, but [Helena] is separated out.
Although she cried continuously after experiencing Yixian's past last time, Su Xin was curious about the special features of Helena.
She glanced at her phone. It was exactly one o'clock in the afternoon, the time for working on the Rubik's Cube.
"...How about going to take a look?"
"If it's Helena's history, then I'll come out right away."
"If it wasn't for Helena's history, but the situation wasn't good, I would have withdrawn immediately."
"This way... I shouldn't encounter any sad things, right?"
So Su Xin raised her eyes and said to Yixian who was reading a book and drinking tea not far away, "Sister Yixian, I'm going to sleep for a while, don't call me~"
"Got it, let's go."
The young commander washed his feet and went to bed with a little trepidation. He covered himself with a quilt, closed his eyes, and clicked on the portrait of Helena in his mind.
His consciousness was instantly cut off, but his breathing was steady, as if he had simply fallen into a deep sleep.
Yixian, who had just turned a page, looked over when he heard the sound. He was a little confused, but there was indeed nothing unusual, so he felt relieved.
"Hmm...I fell asleep really quickly."
Su Xin didn't know how long it had been. When she opened her eyes again, she was startled by the ruins in front of her.
The building looked like a small courtyard. It was not very big, with one side of the door missing. It was empty and covered with rust.
The wall connected to the iron gate was in great disrepair and cracked in many places, and the red square bricks inside could be easily seen from the gaps.
The white paint that was supposed to be used now doesn’t seem to be “white” anymore. It would probably be more appropriate to describe it as zebra color or cow pattern.
Inside the wall is a small house with only two floors. It is square and covered with a layer of cement. The gray color makes it look unclean.
The ground in the yard was not covered with cement, but natural land. Although it was relatively flat, it had begun to become muddy in the drizzle.
There was a big tree against the wall on the left side of the yard. It was big enough for someone in the story to climb over the wall and escape. Most of its branches were dead, and only the part close to the ground had some green buds.
The buildings are in ruins on both sides. They are not even dilapidated. They look more like the remains of a demolition project. There are only bricks and steel bars.
The weather was very bad and it had been raining, which made the surface of the building mottled with deep and shallow stripes. It looked like something out of a horror movie.
The clouds were very low and everything was very quiet. A gust of wind blew something over and Su Xin subconsciously reached out to grab it. It was a torn plastic bag.
..."
"No." Su Xin lowered her eyes and glanced at the bag in her hand that was covered with sticky mud. "I...can touch something?"
Su Xin realized it later and wiped her face with her other hand. The cold raindrops didn't seem very transparent, so she guessed it wouldn't be very clean.
"...It's a bit cold."
"Strange... Logically, I should be in a spirit state. It's the same in Sister Yixian's world. I can't touch anything..."
Su Xin didn't understand the current situation and wanted to observe it for a while, but the rain was too cold and she was not wearing much. When the wind blew, goose bumps appeared on her skin.
"Let's go inside and hide from the rain first."
Su Xin let go of the plastic bag in her hand, raised her right leg and took a step towards the small yard, but her body suddenly lost balance for a moment and she realized something was wrong.
After careful observation, she was shocked and felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the height. She had not been this high before...right?
The young commander took a step forward, controlling his unfamiliar body to walk to the wall in two or three steps. He raised his hand and pressed it on his head, scratching a mark on the wall with his fingernails.
"This height... must be around meters, right?"
"And I didn't notice it just now, when did my breasts become this size...?"
Seeing that there was no one around, Su Xin raised her hand and rubbed herself without hesitation, and found that she was two sizes bigger than her self.
The curve is very obvious, and it has a weight that I have never had before. One hand just happens to cover it. It is soft and elastic, but the bra is a bit rough and it hurts when it rubs.
Happiness came too suddenly, and Su Xin almost lost herself in joy. Fortunately, the coldness on her body kept reminding her that the most urgent thing was to find a place to shelter from the rain.
Su Xin sneezed and found that the sound was a little different, but she didn't have time to find fault with herself at this moment, so she immediately walked into the yard.
The mud that has absorbed water is sticky and slippery. It makes a "smacking" sound when you step on it, which is very unpleasant. You also have to be careful not to fall, otherwise you will definitely become a mud man.
Su Xin entered the yard and found that there were actually buildings on both sides. They were also square, with only one floor, but there were many doors. They looked like rooms.
She did not dare to go in casually, and first went to the middle room of a two-story building with the door wide open. She found many tables and chairs, all made of wood, some of which could not even be placed flat and were exposed there.
