Chapter 300: Numbers

If we say, among all the shipgirls in the Qin Ge Fleet now, which shipgirl has the least presence, then it should be Nengdai.

She is not as full of energy as Biaoqiang, nor as gentle and lovely as Guanghui, nor as heroic and spirited as Bisimai, nor as sentimental as Hai Lun Na.

Usually she trains and goes on missions with everyone; she doesn't often appear in front of Qin Ge, and when she does appear, she only stays beside the crowd, never speaking alone with Qin Ge.

But at this moment, Qin Ge singled out her name. The usually steady and sensible Nengdai was also a bit dazed.

But soon, Nengdai reacted, walked to Qin Ge's side, and under his gaze, placed her hand on the crystal ball together with him.

The crystal ball instantly turned chaotic, and immediately a number appeared before everyone.

99!

When they saw this number, all the shipgirls were stunned for a moment, including Qin Ge and Nengdai themselves.

As Zhang Men said before, 100 is the limit for ordinary shipgirls, and Nengdai's situation means she has already stood in the most liked position, just one step away from upgrading to love.

"So, is this how you feel about me?" Qin Ge looked at the crystal ball and said to Nengdai.

"I didn't expect such a high number; perhaps it's because the commander usually acts so reassuringly that I unconsciously came to rely on you." Nengdai said to Qin Ge.

"But this is also good; at least it lets me confront my inner feelings. Is this what they call a racing heart? Compared to directly, I'm more used to rational thinking, so this mood makes me feel a bit confused.

But at least I now understand, whether it's my feelings or the commander's feelings.

After saying these words, Nengdai smiled, and just as the two were about to withdraw their hands, the number in the crystal ball began to change; the original 99 turned into two zeros, and an extra digit appeared in front.

100.

Watching this, Qin Ge couldn't help but be stunned, then smiled, saying, "Thank you, Nengdai."

"Hmm~" Nengdai shook her head, "No need to say thanks; this is the result of our mutual growth, Commander. If possible, there are still others afterward."

"Mm." Qin Ge nodded, and the two left the crystal ball together, while the crystal ball became clear and sparkling again.

Afterward, Nengdai turned her head and went to the side of the shipgirls, while Qin Ge looked at Banrenma and said, "Let Banrenma be the next."

Banrenma nodded and stepped forward. Now all the shipgirls understood that the order Qin Ge called was according to the summoning order.

Since Qin Ge had already done this with Nengdai before, when it was Banrenma's turn, Banrenma directly placed her hand on the crystal ball together with Qin Ge.

The crystal ball instantly turned chaotic, just as before, and soon a number appeared.

100.

Qin Ge was not surprised by this number, because on the beach the two had already expressed their feelings; upgrading trust to love was also natural.

However, the consecutive appearance of two 100s made several other fleet commanders feel something was off, as they had hoped Qin Ge would be embarrassed, but the fact turned out contrary to their expectations.

Banrenma quickly stepped down, and naturally the next to come forward was Belfast. As a perfect head maid, she had devoted all her thoughts to Qin Ge from the moment she was summoned.

Now, with both hands on the crystal ball together with Qin Ge, a 100 naturally appeared.

"Oh dear, this is troublesome," she said. "I was just always watching you, occasionally enjoying seeing you in a difficult situation, and that was enough. But now, laying out my feelings toward you before everyone really makes me a bit embarrassed."

Although Belfast kept saying she was embarrassed, her smiling face showed no sign of embarrassment at all.

Qin Ge smiled helplessly, "You just need to know this yourself; there's no need to be so blunt in telling me. Otherwise, next time when you see me embarrassed, how should I treat you?"

"Then I'll just follow the master's arrangements." Belfast gave a slight smile, performed a perfect maid's salute, and then retreated.

This counts as Qin Ge's first batch of shipgirls, the ones who have followed him the longest, witnessing his growth and change; these experiences constitute their unwavering faith in Qin Ge.

Next came Ou Gen Qin Wang, Weineituo, and Ling Bo; among them, Ou Gen Qin Wang had the highest affection, also reaching 100 like the previous ones, perhaps because she often stays with Qin Ge.

Second place was Lingbo, also reaching 94. Weineituo had the lowest, but still reached 87; perhaps this number is directly related to her being the fleet flagship, giving her stronger confidence and arrogance.

After that came Guanghui; right after she and Qin Ge placed their hands on the crystal ball, the number gradually emerging from the chaos seemed natural to everyone.

100, which perhaps explains why Guanghui would choose Qin Ge. After more than half a year of interaction, their relationship is actually quite similar to that of Banrenma.

So this may be why, at the beginning, Guanghui said those words to Qin Ge, because she herself had full confidence.

If Qin Ge says the words "give a ring," then basically she would surely have a ring. Unfortunately, Qin Ge regards the oath seriously and won't lightly promise.

Afterward, it was Si Peng Si's turn; for this love‑crying, love‑trouble little guy, Qin Ge usually gave him a lot of care. So when the number representing their mutual trust appeared, Qin Ge smiled and nodded.

96, this number shows that Si Peng Si already trusts Qin Ge greatly. Seeing this number, Si Peng Si breathed a sigh of relief; he really feared being a low number, but deep down he likes Qin Ge completely.

By this point, the commanders of the eight major fleets could no longer sit still, because Qin Ge had already tested more than half of the shipgirls, and each of their affection levels was absurdly high.

This shows that each of his shipgirls is one he himself summoned and has carefully nurtured to the present; otherwise, their trust wouldn't all be so high.

But how did he do it? This is a question for several commanders, because they themselves also have shipgirls with over 90 trust, yet only those one or two other captains have trust levels generally between 6.70 and 7.80.

Because human energy is limited, it's impossible to attend to every shipgirl at all times; first nurturing powerful shipgirls and maintaining good communication between them is practically every commander's principle.

But now, it seems someone is not playing by the rules.
