Chapter 472: Earnest Nengdai

This Siren Tide was really easy.

In the meeting room, Li Chenming has been excited all along; the previous Siren Tide indeed let him breathe a sigh of relief.

Exactly, I never imagined that those shipgirls following the commander were so strong; it looks like everyone is an Awakened Shipgirl, right? Wang Yueqin asked Qin Ge.

His question also drew everyone's gaze to Qin Ge; although they had seen these shipgirls many times before, actually the members of the Grand Fleet didn't know their true strength.

Privately, others also had guesses about these shipgirls, but the highest strength they imagined was only up to the fully trained shipgirl level; after all, Awakened Shipgirls are high-ranking in every faction, far too distant for members of a Grand Fleet like them.

But the strength those shipgirls showed in this Siren Tide was far beyond the fully trained shipgirl level; it was only the Awakening level they dared not even imagine.

Qin Ge wasn't hiding anything now, after all the shipgirls' strength was out in the open; even if he said they weren't, no one would believe him, and it would only cause suspicion in the Grand Fleet.

Yes, they are all Awakened Shipgirls. Qin Ge nodded.

Although everyone had already guessed the answer, hearing Qin Ge say it out loud still shocked them a bit.

How could that be? Those are all Awakened Shipgirls— isn't the number too many? I believe the entire Donghuang doesn't have that many Awakened Shipgirls! Wu Hao exclaimed in surprise.

Yeah, as far as I know, the openly known Awakened Shipgirls in Donghuang are only about ten; how could there be that many here? Chen Bo Jun asked.

Qin Ge smiled and said, 'I never said they were Donghuang's Awakened Shipgirls.'

Not Donghuang's Awakened Shipgirls, then could they be from other factions? everyone asked in surprise.

Qin Ge nodded, 'They come from the other eight great factions besides the Donghuang faction.'

Huh? Li Chenming exclaimed in surprise, 'Why is that? Why would Awakened Shipgirls from other factions appear in Donghuang and be by your side?'

Qin Ge smiled and said, 'Because we have a cooperative relationship; after I contributed certain things, we reached a certain agreement.'

I understand, I guess it's because of Xinong and Bisimai, after all this world has never seen a second faction flagship, so Commander you summoned these beings, and they will definitely increase their observation of you. Wu Hao said.

Qin Ge nodded, 'That's indeed the case; of course there are still some things you don't know, and for now I won't tell you those things.'

Because for you, your current strength is still very weak; even if you knew this information it would be a bother, so rather than that, it's better to let you just maintain your current state.

If one day your fleet reaches a certain strength, I will definitely tell you then; at that time, you will also be qualified to seek the truth behind this world.

After hearing Qin Ge's words, everyone nodded thoughtfully, feeling a hint of anticipation— what is the truth behind this world? Why did this world suddenly produce shipgirls? Why would something like the Sirens suddenly appear?

They also understood that even if they knew now, they couldn't do anything and would only worry themselves; only with sufficient strength could they continue to follow behind Qin Ge and change everything they see.

After the Siren Tide ended, Qin Ge returned to his previous rhythm.

Bringing sufficient supplies, together with the Iron Blood Fleet, they charged again toward the Corrosion Level Four sea area.

Although the decisive plan's Wisdom Cube requires more combat data than the highest plan's Wisdom Cube, because Qin Ge's main battlefield is now in the level-four sea area and the shipgirls' training has greatly increased, collecting it is actually much faster than during the Monarch's time.

After the Siren Tide, they fought for another half year; by the time it was close to Qin Ge's third New Year in this world, they had already collected about thirty percent of the combat data.

Although there is still a lot, at least Qin Ge can already see the dawn of victory.

However, because the New Year is approaching, Qin Ge temporarily issued a rest order. After all, although everyone's training improved greatly over the year of battle, most of the time they were fighting at sea, rarely resting.

So taking advantage of this New Year period, everyone should rest well to eliminate the fatigue from this year's battle.

After finishing today's emails and matters, Qin Ge involuntarily stretched in his office chair.

"Commander, have you finished today's affairs?" Nengdai beside him said to Qin Ge.

"Mm, already finished." Qin Ge smiled and said, "Next we should go on patrol together."

"Then let's go, Commander." Nengdai nodded and said.

"No rush." Qin Ge smiled, "After patrol, today's work will be over, so even going in the afternoon is fine."

"Since the Commander says so, let's go in the afternoon; do you have anything else now?" Nengdai asked.

"It's been a long time since we sat down to chat, so taking this opportunity we can have a good talk." Qin Ge smiled and said to Nengdai.

As the first shipgirl I summoned, compared to the Centaur, I indeed have spent less time with her. But usually, because we need to go out to sea to fight, I can only take this chance to increase our feelings as much as possible.

"Chat?" Nengdai nodded, "What does the Commander want to talk about?"

Qin Ge looked at the earnest Nengdai and was speechless, "You haven't thought of anything you want to say to me?"

"Uh… there is, Commander, are you hungry? I made a bento this morning; now about this time we can eat." Nengdai said to Qin Ge.

"You still can make bento?" Qin Ge asked in surprise.

Nengdai nodded, "Isn't making bento a necessary skill for girls? To make a good bento I even practiced deeply, but Commander, don't worry, I only practice during rest time, and it doesn't conflict with training."

Qin Ge immediately shook his head, puzzled, "You're already fully trained— do you still train every day?"

Nengdai nodded, "Training isn't just about raising training level; the level is merely a standard, not a shipgirl's limit."

You're still as strict with yourself as ever; occasionally relax a bit— how about we finish eating, patrol the port area, then walk on the beach?" Qin Ge asked.

"Will it affect the Commander?"

Of course not.
