Chapter 456: Honor Student and Sister Complex

He casually picked up the rapid construction tool at hand, Qin Ge placed it into the construction device's slot, and pressed the start button.

Amid the construction device's rumbling sound, the time on the display screen instantly reset to zero, then the construction device's hatch opened, and a purple light accompanied by smoke spread out.

A girl's silhouette gradually became visible in the light and smoke. She had brown shoulder-length hair, with two butterfly knots tied on both sides of her hair, and wore a beret on her head, and was dressed in a uniform.

After seeing Qin Ge, the girl introduced herself, saying, "I am the eldest sister of the 1936A-type destroyer, Z23. Starting from me, my younger sisters only have code names, unlike the elder sisters who inherited previous names. Although it may seem somewhat unfriendly, it is indeed more convenient, so please don't stand on ceremony—just call me Z23."

Upon hearing that code name, Qin Ge immediately recalled her affiliation, the Narvik-class destroyer.

The greatest feature of this destroyer class is its use of a 150mm caliber main gun at light cruiser level, mainly to gain an advantage against the Iris Nation's super destroyer equipped with 138.6mm caliber guns.

Seeing the rather stern girl before him, Qin Ge stepped forward, extended his right hand, and said, "Hello, Z23, I am Qin Ge. From today onward I will be your commander; please guide me in the future as well."

"Guten Tag, Commander. I am Z23; let us study together and advance toward the peak." Z23 said while shaking Qin Ge's hand, appearing very serious.

Z23's demeanor surprised Qin Ge a bit, after all, for ordinary destroyers the most desired thing is to play, or to act like a little adult like Osborn, but Z23 is completely different from them.

If one had to force Qin Ge to find a word to describe his impression of Z23, it would be an honor student. Perhaps having such a girl in his fleet would be quite nice, as she could well lead the other destroyers.

Thinking this, Qin Ge's smile grew gentler without him realizing, "Welcome to join our fleet; I now need to replenish our fleet with more companions, so could you trouble yourself to chat a bit with Belfast?"

"Although she is from the Royal, we are in a fleet; we should not merely distinguish by faction, right?"

Z23 nodded at the distant Belfast, saying, "I understand, Commander; if you need me anywhere, please call me anytime."

"Hmm." Seeing Z23 agree so readily, Qin Ge naturally felt pleased, "Certainly."

Thus, Z23 temporarily left the love song and headed toward Belfast. Seeing this, Qin Ge again picked up from the ground a Wisdom Cube, but this time he picked up not one, but two.

This time he prepared to summon very evenly—that is, summon light type, then heavy type, then special type, in this way to replenish his fleet.

He then placed two Wisdom Cubes and 1,500 units of supplies into the heavy construction device. With a rumbling sound, a time appeared on the construction device's screen.

1:50:00.

Seeing this number appear, Qin Ge immediately grabbed a rapid construction tool from the ground, placed it into the construction device's slot, and installed the start button.

With the construction device's rumbling sound, the number on its screen instantly disappeared, the hatch gradually opened, and a blue light accompanied by thick mist appeared before Qin Ge, revealing a girl's silhouette.

She had silver-colored hair tied in a single ponytail. She wore a sailor uniform, but it had slipped down, exposing her fair shoulders, and a black bikini top on her chest; this outfit gave Qin Ge a sense of oddity.

However, just as Qin Ge looked at the girl, she also opened her eyes and looked at Qin Ge.

"Hello, Commander. I am the elder sister of Indy, Portland. I have participated in the Battle of the Coral Sea, the Battle of Midway, the Battle of Guadalcanal, and the Battle of Santa Cruz."

Portland, Qin Ge naturally knew this distinguished warship; in the White Eagle heavy cruiser merit ranking she stands third, and furthermore she is famous for her sister ship of the same class, Indianapolis.

After all, the parts and nuclear fuel needed for the two atomic bombs that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki were transported solely by the Indianapolis.

"So, Indy is your sister's nickname?" Qin Ge asked curiously.

"Eh, Commander actually knows my little sister!" In an instant, Portland became extremely excited. She jumped down from the construction device, grabbed Qin Ge's hand, and said, "Commander, let me tell you, my little sister is so cute!"

Qin Ge watched Portland, who was gripping his arm and showing abnormal excitement, suddenly feeling a bit dazed. Previously Portland had been quite normal; could it be that he had triggered some unspeakable switch in her?

Could it be because he had just asked about her sister?

Qin Ge instantly realized this, so he hurriedly said to Portland, "Portland, although I really want to learn about your sister, it is obviously not the time to talk about this now."

"First meeting, let me introduce myself first. I am Qin Ge; from today onward I will be your commander, so please continue to guide me in the future."

"Eh, that formal?" Portland paused and said.

"After all, this is our first meeting, so being a bit formal is still better." Qin Ge smiled and extended his hand.

"Alright." Portland nodded, "If only the Portland class could be called the Indianapolis class… um, I am Portland, although I have ten…?"

By now Qin Ge could completely confirm that the seemingly charming Portland before him is entirely a sister complex. Moreover, she is the ultimate sister complex type, not the kind that only wants herself to like her sister while forbidding others from liking her.

Rather, she is the type who wants to promote her sister to the whole world, letting everyone know her sister is extremely cute!

Therefore, for such a person, a very simple way to draw closer is to chat with her about her sister. Unfortunately, Qin Ge indeed has matters at hand, so he can only temporarily suppress this thought.

Thereafter he said to Portland, "Portland, I am currently summoning our later companions; I am somewhat busy.

Because it is quite possible that Indianapolis will also be summoned later, so if possible, please first go to Belfast's side and chat with them; after I finish summoning, we can then have a good talk about your sister.

"Okay?"

"Good!" This time, Portland agreed very readily.
