Chapter 364: Do You Believe in Fate?

Over the next few days, Qin Ge led his Grand Fleet members, taking on missions every day.

Consequently, the training levels of all the shipgirls in the Grand Fleet were generally improving. Moreover, aside from the increase in training levels, the most crucial aspect was how the shipgirls performed when facing enemies and how the Grand Fleet members reacted in battle.

If one were to say, previously when they encountered battle they would still feel excitement and apprehension, but now when they encounter battle they already have the demeanor of veteran soldiers.

They remained calm and composed, their minds focused solely on the battlefield, no longer pondering what to do if they won or lost those meaningless matters. Instead, they attentively followed Qin Ge's commands, calmly observing the battlefield situation and issuing appropriate correct orders to their shipgirls.

This can be considered as having achieved Qin Ge's goal, reaching a certain transformation.

The results of this period were also gratifying, even though everyone was merely a school commander or a newly graduated commander. Yet the achievements they attained were even more pleasing than those of some Grand Fleets that had been established for many years at the third and fourth levels.

Now every person has entered that state, harboring infinite expectations for the future of their Grand Fleet.

And as time passed, the entire Siren Tide was fast approaching a white-hot intensity.

The sea surface now is no longer like before, with scattered Siren fleets. Instead, it has become relatively dense; when Qin Ge and his team carry out missions in a day, they can see at least five or six Siren fleets.

And with the pressure from the nearby Siren fleets, many of the previous missions have now become tasks requiring multiple fleets to execute.

However, this is not a problem that makes Qin Ge feel worried; on the contrary, it makes him feel it's an opportunity. But the difficulty now facing Qin Ge is caused by Xinong.

As everyone knows, Xinong is an aircraft carrier of Sea Legend Rank, and also the colorful shipgirl everyone talks about.

As for Xinong's training level, according to her own description, she has already surpassed thirty-plus levels long ago. Yet up to now, Xinong remains in the state she was first summoned in, never having undergone a breakthrough.

And Qin Ge, because of this problem, had previously gone to see Mingshi, but Mingshi gave him the answer that it was because there was no similar breakthrough facility for the Burri.

The Burri sisters are also acquaintances of Qin Ge, since all the breakthroughs of his own fleet were carried out at their place. The two sisters are jokingly referred to by commanders as Ziburi and Jinburi, corresponding respectively to breakthroughs for Elite-level shipgirls and below Rare-level shipgirls, and breakthroughs for Super Rare-level shipgirls.

However, Xinong is of Sea Legend Rank, so Ziburi and Jinburi could absolutely not give her a breakthrough.

According to what Jinburi told Qin Ge, among the Burri family there is another Burri sister who is also of Sea Legend Rank and can perform breakthroughs on shipgirls like Xinong of Sea Legend Rank.

However, this so-called Caiburi has never appeared in this world. And the reason Jinburi knows this information is also similar to the sensory memory of shipgirls.

Thus this difficulty stands before Qin Ge like a heavenly moat. If Caiburi cannot be found, then Xinong cannot undergo a breakthrough, which means she cannot unleash her fullest power.

Regarding this problem Qin Ge also feels troubled, because summoning Xinong was already a stroke of luck among luck; now where could he find a colorful Burri?

Sitting on the command ship, seeing the five purple astrolabes floating around Xinong, Qin Ge involuntarily asked, "Xinong, shouldn't you be sleeping at this hour? Why are you still awake today?"

"I feel you are rather worried today, my lord; I wanted to ask but didn't know how to bring it up, so I've been pondering." Xinong said, looking at Qin Ge.

Qin Ge couldn't help but laugh, "If you have any problem, just tell me directly; no need to overthink, I'm not that hard to get along with, right?"

"Yes, especially these past few days, you feel much more approachable; I am also especially delighted." Xinong said, and couldn't help but smile.

Qin Ge also smiled, "Perhaps I've learned some changes; but speaking of it, what exactly do you want to ask?"

"I just want to ask why, whenever I see you these past two days, you always look worried with furrowed brows? Although you appear very gentle, I can sense it." Xinong asked Qin Ge.

Qin Ge glanced at Guanghui beside him, and not far away, Edu asleep with her head on the table, as well as Kaixuan sitting beside Edu, drinking tea.

"You should also know, Guanghui is about to awaken soon, yet the Banrenma are also steadily increasing their strength every day; the entire carrier fleet, it's you who is giving me a headache right now.

"Because although your strength is still growing, your training level has reached a point where you cannot break through, cannot undergo a qualitative change." Qin Ge said to Xinong facing him.

When Qin Ge finished speaking, Xinong however laughed.

"So it turns out the things troubling you are these; I finally understand." Xinong smiled, "I don't know whether the commander believes in fate or not?"

"Fate?" Qin Ge looked at Xinong with some doubt, not understanding why she would link the breakthrough to fate.

"Commander, open your hand; I want to show you something." Xinong said to Qin Ge.

Although Qin Ge was doubtful, he also opened his right hand and placed it before Xinong.

At that moment, Xinong extended her hand, upon which a blue butterfly appeared. The blue butterfly suddenly raised its wings, slowly flying up from Xinong's hand and gently landing on Qin Ge's hand.

Immediately afterward, the astrolabes floating beside Xinong began to rotate. As the astrolabes turned, Qin Ge at that moment felt extremely drowsy, unconsciously closing his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, he discovered he was no longer inside the command ship, but had appeared above the sky, with an endless sea beneath his feet.

"What place is this? How did I end up here?" Qin Ge exclaimed in surprise, and he now dared not move, fearing that any movement would cause him to fall straight into the sea below.

Just as Qin Ge was puzzled, a deep-blue butterfly slowly appeared before his face, and immediately afterward a familiar figure appeared before him.

"Xinong! Is it you? What just happened? Why am I here? Where is this?" Qin Ge voiced all his doubts in an instant.

Only seeing Xinong opposite him gently shake her head, "Commander, first don't panic; this place is still in this world, but not the timeline where we were just docked.

As for why you have appeared here, I will let you see something, and then you will know."

Following Xinong's guidance, Qin Ge saw, on the distant sea, a fleet slowly approaching……
