Chapter 683: Utilization

The winter sea surface, as unfathomable as a woman's thoughts, had been overcast with dark clouds, looking like a storm was imminent, but not long after it became clear skies, light winds and thin clouds.

On the command ship's planks, Qin Ge lay on a chair bathed in gentle sunlight, with several ship girls who were long stationed on the command ship beside him.

Everyone's face showed a relaxed expression; after all, after a major battle this was a rare rest, and wearing worried frowns now would be unworthy of such time.

"The lord could originally skip stopping at Guandao along this route and go straight across, and our supplies this time are enough to cross the entire Pacific.

So the lord's main reason this time is to go see Biyu?" The person sitting beside Qin Ge handed him a cup of freshly brewed tea.

Seeing this, Qin Ge immediately sat up, took the tea from Tiancheng and nodded, "Indeed we have that thought; we've been here a long time, and although Biyu has the goddess of the kitchen looking after her, not hearing anything makes us uneasy.

"This time going to White Eagle we must pass Hawaii, so it's better to first go to Guandao; we're more familiar with that area and the route from there is steadier."

"The commander is right; if we went directly from Sakura Empire to Hawaii we would have to cross the Pacific's center. We don't really know the exact situation there; each time we try to explore, a special force blocks us, causing us to lose our way.

"Since this mission is support, we should choose the safest route." Enterprise spoke.

"Hehe, Enterprise is still too serious." Guanghui smiled, then his expression turned worried, "Actually not only the commander, everyone is worried about Biyu's safety; after all she's badly injured this time, possibly unable to fight alongside us for a long time, and we also have to temporarily leave the Pacific.

Going to the Atlantic Ocean battle would definitely not be able to bring her; when we return we won't know how much time has passed, and this return counts as a temporary farewell to them.

Whether it's Donghuang or Sakura Empire people, they likely also thought of this, so they all expressed support.

Qin Ge looked at the somewhat embarrassed Enterprise and smiled, "Enterprise after all is one of our fleet's leaders, has more to consider, and we are now mainly rescuing all factions, so naturally we can't put these in the main position.

"But since we're heading out to sea, this could also be considered my own selfish motive."

"Commander..." Enterprise naturally knew Qin Ge was speaking for him, wanted to explain something, but then heard Bisimai speaking from beside.

"Indeed, this is the commander's private motive; as a support fleet we originally couldn't make such a decision, just like in Donghuang history Great Yu tamed the waters passing his home three times without entering, we should pass through Guandao and go straight to Hawaii."

"Cough, so everyone just knows about this, don't speak it out." Qin Ge said embarrassedly.

"Hehe..."

"Right, how does the lord view the changes in this world?" Tiancheng smiled.

During this period we've experienced many things and witnessed many heights we never dared imagine; even though Qin Ge now has strong acceptance, he couldn't help but frown for a moment.

"It can be certain that the world has become increasingly complex; it's no longer as simple as when we first encountered the Sirens.

Although this place is also akin to an experimental field, a group of uninvited guests have broken in, making it hard to define the Sirens' future plans for this world.

Moreover, the Remnant Organization and the Arbiters are currently too strong; after this operation ends we must first raise our own strength.

Only then can we participate in future battles; otherwise we'd be mere spectators like we were in Donghuang this time.

"Yeah, so far we've seen three Arbiters in this world, and they've never joined forces.

"The Remnant people said the Arbiters' joining forces is absolutely not as simple as one plus one; if the three of them teamed up, even Helena, Flying Dragon, and Gneisenau would struggle to cope." Enterprise said worriedly.

"Don't forget that so far only one side of that Enterprise has appeared." Bisimai beside him pressed his cap brim, as if recalling something, said, "Moreover I once heard Gneisenau casually say that this world now far exceeds just those few Remnants; more Remnants may have already come to this world, just not yet appeared.

If there are that many Remnants, having even more Arbiters is not impossible, so the future situation will likely be tougher than we imagine.

Commander, I think afterward we should obtain some cooperation from the Remnants, learn how a true ship girl should fight and how to boost our own strength.

Our harbor district must create a group of elites; only then can we stand firm amid this world's changes.

"I support Bisimai's view; since they've come to us, if we don't act here it would truly be a waste of this opportunity." Tiancheng smiled.

"Hmm, and I think Helena's feelings toward the commander are somewhat special, so we can fully exploit this." Bisimai said to Qin Ge.

Qin Ge unconsciously touched his nose, glanced at the deck exit, and said, "I say Bisimai, they're still below; can you not be so blatant? And what kind of scheme is this, a beauty plot?"

"Hehe." Upon hearing Qin Ge say that, the people on the deck all broke into smiles.

And Bisimai then said with a solemn face, "This isn't about letting the commander sell his looks; it's merely an opportunity to use our resource advantage to expand our own strength."

"Cough, let's talk about this later..."

While Qin Ge and others were speaking on the deck, Flying Dragon leaning by the control room door looked at Helena and said, "They're talking about how to become stronger from you."

Helena smiled and lifted her head, "Even you heard it, how could I not?"

"Then what's your decision?" Flying Dragon asked.

"If you want to get something from me, you must pay the corresponding price." Helena smiled.

"Hehe, indeed as they said, you're not a law-abiding person." Flying Dragon's face showed a hint of relief.

Beside him, Gneisenau helplessly shook his head, "I say you two, don't forget our plan..."
