Chapter 596: Ou Gen Qin Wang's Invitation

Although the Purifiers begged repeatedly, how could Ou Gen Qin Wang, who already had detailed information, possibly let the entire port area suffer such pointless loss?

Although the Purifiers won't sink the shipgirls, each laser she fires damages them, so the emergency repair tools have been constantly consumed.

Moreover, there's oil and other resources; such pointless consumption just to keep the Purifiers company is really uneconomical.

Seeing him retreat, the Purifiers still followed, so Ou Gen Qin Wang turned and said, "Are you really that bored?"

"Of course; if I weren't bored, why would I come looking for you?" the Purifiers replied without hesitation.

Ou Gen Qin Wang put his finger in his mouth and bit it, then smiled, saying, "But now it's windy and raining heavily, really not good weather; if you're really bored, you can come to our port area, and I'll have someone keep you company."

"Eh, can I?" the Purifiers exclaimed happily upon accepting Ou Gen Qin Wang's invitation.

Ou Gen Qin Wang nodded, saying, "Although we are enemies, so far neither side has any intention to attack, so we are essentially in a ceasefire."

"In that case, with our agreement, as long as you follow some of our rules, you can come to our port area as a guest."

"Rules? What rules?" the Purifiers asked.

Ou Gen Qin Wang smiled, saying, "I need to work out the specifics with the commander, so if possible, please wait here; we'll notify you via the communicator when ready."

"Fine! But don't make me wait too long, or I'll go wreck your place." the Purifiers said, even feeling a bit unsafe as they threatened.

"Hehe."

Ou Gen Qin Wang laughed after hearing that, then turned and left the Purifiers' side. This time the Purifiers didn't follow, since Ou Gen Qin Wang left alone, and a few wary shipgirls surrounded her, watching her, so she stayed where she was waiting for news.

Soon, Ou Gen Qin Wang returned to Qin Ge's command ship, and at that moment, several leaders in position also returned to the command ship.

The group didn't immediately start the meeting, because Qin Ge was standing at the hatch entrance, handing a towel to each shipgirl who entered.

After all, it was pouring outside; although the ship equipment wouldn't take on water, the wet feeling was still uncomfortable.

The shipgirls, while thanking him, took Qin Ge's towel, wiped themselves dry, then went to the ship's hold to prepare to open this emergency meeting.

"Ou Gen Qin Wang, what exactly happened?" This question puzzled not only Qin Ge, but also Enterprise and Weineituo and several others, who were very doubtful.

Because although they heard the latter part of the conversation, they did not hear the content of Ou Gen Qin Wang and the Purifiers talking face to face.

Ou Gen Qin Wang looked at the somewhat anxious crowd and shrugged, saying, "According to my earlier talk with the Purifiers, she hasn't accepted any mission from the Observer or the Tester this time; she just came over to fight us."

In her words, it's just that she's too bored; for her, fighting is the most interesting thing, and since she has no mission, she can't go look for other factions, so she can only come to us.

"This..." Enterprise and Weineituo exchanged glances, and Enterprise said, "Could it be that the Purifiers are lying?"

Ou Gen Qin Wang hadn't answered yet; Qin Ge first shook his head, saying, "It shouldn't be, according to the Nine Major Factions' dossier, every appearance of a Siren humanoid commander has a very clear purpose."

Aside from those purposes, these Siren humanoid commanders are basically like they've vanished from this sea and won't appear.

And precisely because of that, ordinary commanders have very limited intelligence on what high-level Siren humanoids know.

Ou Gen Qin Wang nodded, saying, "Besides, haven't you noticed? The battle has gone on this long, yet our side hasn't suffered any casualties, and the worst damage is only moderate."

The other few people, upon hearing this, gradually came to believe Ou Gen Qin Wang's judgment.

"So it was at that time that Ou Gen Qin Wang had us stop attacking, and indeed after we stopped attacking, the Purifiers didn't counterattack either," Enterprise nodded and said.

"Then what is the current situation? Are the Purifiers insisting on fighting, or is there some other meaning?" Qin Ge asked.

Ou Gen Qin Wang laughed, saying, "If she could keep fighting, she'd naturally be very happy, but we consider this meaningless battle a pure waste of our port area's resources, so compared to continuing the fight, I think it'd be better to find her something interesting to do."

For example, bring her to our port area.

"What! Bring the Purifiers to our port area? Ou Gen Qin Wang, do you know what you're saying?" Enterprise exclaimed instantly.

"I certainly know what I'm saying; this is a great opportunity to increase our port area's understanding of Siren humanoid commanders," Ou Gen Qin Wang said.

"But the port area is our foundation; bringing the Purifiers into our port area is like inviting a wolf into the house. What if her target is the commander?" Weineituo said at that time.

"The commander has already encountered several Siren humanoid commanders in the Mirror Sea before, and besides, the Purifiers said the Observer and Tester have already listed the commander as abnormal, with no intention to act, meaning the commander's situation is currently safe," Ou Gen Qin Wang said.

"So in the end, you're just betting that the Purifiers won't dare to act!" Enterprise said solemnly.

Just as Ou Gen Qin Wang was about to speak, Qin Ge spoke up, saying, "You don't need to rush; I'd like to ask, how do you view the Purifiers?"

"Reckless, a maniac who only knows how to fight!" Enterprise said to Qin Ge.

After Enterprise said that, all the shipgirls present nodded in unison.

Immediately, Zhenhai reacted, laughing and saying to Qin Ge, "So the commander intends to play a risky move?"

Qin Ge shook his head, saying, "It's not exactly a risky move; rather, I feel Ou Gen Qin Wang's proposal can be tried."

As for the Purifiers, I've also seen her several times; my biggest impression is that besides liking combat, her biggest trait is her very straightforward personality—she can't keep things bottled up.

And, just as she said. If the Tester and Observer wanted to kill me, they could have done so starting from that Mirror Sea encounter, but they chose to let us live.

Taking all that into account, I actually tend to believe the Purifiers' words a bit. Perhaps she was just bored staying in the Siren outpost, wanted to come up and find something to do, so she ended up seeking us out.

Although this matter carries potential danger, more importantly it is indeed beneficial to us in many ways...
