Chapter 429

Qin Ge hurriedly waved his hand, "Of course not; it's just that after each battle we immediately rest, and once repairs are done we start a new battle. It repeats like this until we return."

Hu Feng showed a strange smile, "If your shipgirls didn't all trust you so much, I'd have reason to suspect you're exploiting your own shipgirls."

Qin Ge's face darkened, and the shipgirls behind him also laughed.

"What do you mean exploiting my shipgirls? Obviously we only start a new round of battle after ensuring sufficient combat power." Qin Ge said helplessly.

"Hehe, let me tell you, a normal commander who fights continuously outdoors for over ten days will set aside one or two days specifically for rest, to ensure that neither he nor his shipgirls remain in a tense state."

Although there are Siren Fleets in the sea area, I will provide you with a beacon detection map every day, and you can completely refer to that map to find a safe place to anchor and rest.

But you never used it properly; you merely took that map as your target, causing your fleet to keep moving toward the Siren Fleet marked on it, thus engaging in new battles.

So I say you are exploiting your shipgirls, but I am always an outsider; for a driven commander like you, perhaps you are not wrong, but I suggest that, aside from the intense battles, you should still take one or two days to rest." Hu Feng said to Qin Ge.

Qin Ge nodded, gave a wry smile, and said, "This is our first time going out to sea, so we don't know much about many things, so this time out is mainly about gaining experience."

As for what you said, we will do it later. I don't want to be labeled as someone who exploits his shipgirls...

"Alright, just knowing is fine." Hu Feng smiled and said, "Then go back to rest directly; it's already dark now, and we'll do a battle report tomorrow."

Qin Ge nodded and said, "Then thank you, Hu Feng."

After their conversation ended, Qin Ge led his shipgirls toward the stationed residential area.

On the way, they naturally ran into several commanders and shipgirls from the Grand Fleet; after exchanging greetings they didn't linger long. They also knew Qin Ge had just returned and needed time to rest, so they didn't ask further.

When they returned to the dormitory building, everyone tidied up a bit and then went to wash up and rest early.

Although the living place changed, the originally assigned rooms basically remained unchanged.

Qin Ge remained in the outermost room on the second floor, with Guanghui opposite him and Banrenma beside him. However, because the building here is much larger than the reception house, each floor has more rooms than there.

Thus, Bisimai and Lisailiu, the two shipgirls who arrived later, also moved to the second floor; the reason is simple: so they can find Qin Ge anytime if needed.

Ling Bo, however, moved upstairs and lived together with several destroyers. The reason is that Biaoqiang thought Ling Bo was surrounded by older sisters, making the environment uncomfortable for her, so she unilaterally moved Ling Bo to the room next to hers.

Beside those destroyers lived several submarines, and also a light cruiser, Sheng Di Ya Ge. She was originally supposed to live next to Hai Lun Na, but Ou Gen Qin Wang thought her singing was too noisy and moved her upstairs.

But this actually suited Sheng Di Ya Ge's wishes; with several destroyers nearby, she could play with them later.

When Qin Ge woke up early in the morning, he was persisting in his daily morning run. After finishing the run and returning to the building, he saw a familiar figure standing together with Cai Bu Li.

"Meow, let me tell you, after going to our shop, you can play with your sister every day, meow..." A small figure, sneaking, said to Cai Bu Li.

Upon hearing that familiar meow and seeing the signature green hair and ears, Qin Ge knew who the person in front of him was.

Thus Qin Ge quietly approached, stood behind Mingshi and coughed once, saying, "It's been a few days since I last saw you, Mingshi, and I suddenly discovered you are abducting my shipgirl in my fleet."

"Meow!!!" Mingshi jumped at Qin Ge's voice, mechanically turned her head, looked at the slightly smiling Qin Ge, her face full of unnatural expression.

"You scared me to death, Commander Qin Ge, do you walk without making a sound, meow?" Mingshi exclaimed in surprise to Qin Ge, her long sleeves continuously patting her chest, indicating she had just been frightened.

"Hehe, I do make noise when I walk, and you don't look scared; you look guilty like a thief." Qin Ge smiled.

"No... no, meow! I'm definitely not guilty, meow! No, I'm not a thief at all!" Mingshi hurriedly defended.

"Really?" Qin Ge gave a faint smile, then turned to Cai Bu Li: "Cai Bu Li, what did Mingshi just tell you? Was she telling you to go to his shop?"

Cai Bu Li nodded and said, "burin~ Mingshi said her sister is in her shop, she wants to take me to find her sister to play burin."

Qin Ge nodded with a smile, turned his head to the dumbfounded Mingshi, and said, "So what else do you have to say? This is an open-and-shut abduction of a commander's shipgirl; I can directly go to the military police to prosecute you!"

"Meow! No! Don't prosecute me, meow! I merely invited Cai Bu Li to play in my shop; it's not abduction, meow!" Mingshi said in a panic.

Qin Ge chuckled, "After Cai Bu Li goes there, you can then use the pretext of bringing her over to study her, right?"

"Meow! How do you know... yikes, I let it slip, meow!" Mingshi immediately covered her mouth, shaking her head at Qin Ge.

Qin Ge couldn't help but smile, "Then besides that, what else are you planning to have Cai Bu Li do?"

Mingshi, seeing the matter exposed, became dejected and said to Qin Ge, "Anyway, your fleet won't take her on a sortie; rather than leave her alone in this building, it's better to go help in my shop, meow. I still have her sister there, so she can play with her, and I also want to study the difference between Sea Legend Rank shipgirls and Normal Shipgirls."

And also study her difference from Xinong, meow; who knows, this might let us find a way to construct Sea Legend Rank shipgirls, allowing us to build more of them, meow!

Qin Ge nodded involuntarily, "So that's your idea; I can let Cai Bu Li go with you to your shop, but I have one condition."

"Meow?"
