Chapter 679: Innocence

What is a ship's meme, and do these differ from each other? Qin Ge asked.

Of course there is a difference, and a big one. Hai Lun Na smiled. "The so-called ship's meme refers to the special quality that arises when a ship is first born, and this quality is called change."

If one awakens the ship's meme, the future will be infinitely broad, can become stronger, can truly awaken.

But if one does not awaken the ship's meme, then imitation objects are the limit. No matter how hard you try, the barrier between imitation objects and ships will always hold you back, preventing your strength from advancing even an inch.

Just like the difference between fully trained shipgirls and awakened shipgirls in your world. Awakened shipgirls represent that they gradually awaken the ship's meme and can continue to become stronger.

But even if fully trained shipgirls train further, they can only make their experience and tactics stronger, while their own strength remains fixed.

So, is this also the reason why so many shipgirls in this world are stuck at full training? Prince of Wales said, realizing.

Yes, the awakening of the meme is a crucial link for imitation objects; when you awaken, you gradually gain the ability of a true ship.

But for most people, if not deliberately guided or having some special luck, it is difficult to awaken.

Just like in your world, most awakened shipgirls appeared early on, and later only those who followed Commander Qin Ge. Hai Lun Na said.

Why can those shipgirls who follow Qin Ge awaken? Is it just because Qin Ge comes from another world, making him special? Prince of Wales said.

She knows Qin Ge's identity, and given the current situation, whether this matter is kept secret or not no longer matters.

Meanwhile, Mikasa and A Furore were rather surprised: "Qin Ge, you come from another world?"

Qin Ge gave an apologetic smile to Mikasa and A Furore: "Yes, but talking about this would cause a lot of trouble, so for now only Yixian and Prince of Wales in Donghuang know about it."

Senior Mikasa and Senior A Furore, I apologize here; I really shouldn't have kept it from you for so long.

Mikasa realized, then smiled and waved a hand: "It's fine; matters like this indeed shouldn't be spread everywhere, but I'm a little curious—what is your world like, Qin Ge? Does it also have daily battles like this world?"

Qin Ge chuckled: "Not really; although my world isn't very peaceful, such large-scale conflicts are actually very rare."

That's really great; when you have free time later, please give us a proper talk. Mikasa laughed.

Hmm.

Seeing Qin Ge and Mikasa finish speaking, Hai Lun Na beside them continued: "Qin Ge's situation as commander is very special; I also can't quite explain why so many awakened ships appear around him, which is why I've been paying attention to him."

That's how it is. Qin Ge suddenly understood why Hai Lun Na had been following him all along—it was for this reason.

At that moment, a clear, cold voice sounded: "Surely it's you."

Everyone looked toward the source of the voice and saw Xin ze xi standing at the boarding hatch, and beside her was the Feilong that had just fought Siteliankus.

But you still came, didn't you? Hai Lun Na smiled and glanced at Feilong.

Although I had already thought of it, I still want to see who exactly has come to this world. Feilong said.

So you want to get that information from me? Hai Lun Na asked.

Exactly, although you've withdrawn, I still think you'd be willing to provide this information. Feilong said, looking at Hai Lun Na.

Withdrawn? Qin Ge wondered.

Yes, we were originally members of an organization, but I later withdrew. Hai Lun Na said. "Because I discovered some things, I feel that their rash approach will only make things worse."

But this is the only method. Feilong said.

Not necessarily. Hai Lun Na smiled. "I had previously noticed some clues, but they didn't hold up. However, after coming to this world, I suddenly discovered some interesting things; perhaps they will become even more interesting later."

Feilong glanced at Hai Lun Na: "Then you just handle it yourself."

After Feilong finished speaking, he no longer looked at Hai Lun Na, but turned his gaze to Qin Ge.

Was it you who invited me onto the command ship? Feilong asked.

Yes, thank you very much for your help this time; if it weren't for you, we might have perished here today. Qin Ge sincerely thanked.

I accept your thanks, but please don't ever again use your own ships as stakes in a gamble next time; they are companions for life, not weapons or tools. Feilong said to Qin Ge.

In an instant, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

But soon, Guanghui stepped forward from the side: "Feilong, although we are grateful for your help, we cannot accept your evaluation of our commander.

You have tremendous strength, so you can say that, but have you considered what we would do when we encounter such a powerful enemy in our world?

Are we supposed to just hide everywhere, afraid to face the enemy? The commander made this decision, bearing tremendous responsibility—doesn't he himself know that?

We must stand up, we must face danger, we must face difficulties, because this world needs us. Moreover, even when facing such difficult battles, the commander's command ship has always accompanied us, never retreating a single step.

This is the commander we respect, and this is why we rally around him.

What Guanghui said is correct; all of this was decided after our discussion. Our commander is not as you described; on the contrary, he is outstanding and possesses extremely strong will. Enterprise said to Feilong.

To protect our world and the meaning of our existence, no matter how strong the enemy, even if we know we have no chance of victory, we will fight without hesitation. Weineituo smiled.

Hmph, naive. Feilong said flatly.

Hehe, how do I feel that you're a bit envious? Hai Lun Na smiled. "Haven't you ever felt like them before? I actually miss it; if back then there had been someone like Commander Qin Ge stepping forward, leading all the townspeople to jointly resist the enemy, I believe the outcome might not have been like this."

Perhaps. Feilong glanced at Qin Ge and said, "What is your next goal?"

Seeing Feilong ask him, Qin Ge froze for a moment, then immediately said: "Clear out all the Siren strongholds here, lift the crisis in Donghuang. Then join forces with the fleet I'm supporting from Sakura Empire, allocate the available strength of Donghuang and Sakura Empire, and head to the Atlantic Ocean to provide support."
