Chapter 915: Year-End Construction

With the cooperation of many fleet girls, even by New Year's Eve, Qin Ge had not noticed any changes in the Fleet Girl Academy located in the port area.

Every day after work, a few fleet girls would drag him over to watch rehearsals, or drag him to get tea. Qin Ge didn't worry, because even if the program lacked entertainment value, after all only a small part of the fleet girls were rehearsing at the sports field, while many others were preparing elsewhere.

Opening his sleepy eyes, Qin Ge immediately saw Belfast waiting beside the bed.

"Good morning, Master." Belfast said with a smile.

Qin Ge smiled and nodded. "Good morning. When did you get up? I never noticed."

Belfast smiled and said, "If my waking up startled the Master, that would be a breach of duty as a maid."

Qin Ge smacked his lips. "Well, speaking of which, today is New Year's Eve—time really flies; in the blink of an eye another year has passed."

"Yes, this is also the sixth New Year's Eve I've spent together with the Master." Belfast's eyes were full of tenderness.

"Hehe, there's still plenty of time ahead; we have more time to spend together." Qin Ge said with a laugh. "Get up first—today the port area will surely be lively."

"Yes." Belfast smiled and began to serve Qin Ge as he got up.

Such service had continued for several years; Qin Ge had grown accustomed to it, or rather, the two had developed a mutual understanding unique to master and servant.

Soon, Qin Ge was dressed and, while washing up, saw Kalubudisi already bringing in the breakfast.

"Speaking of which, Master doesn't have to work today, right? After all, it's the last day of the year—if he were working, that wouldn't make sense." Kalubudisi asked.

Qin Ge wiped his face, then handed the towel to Belfast, and said to Kalubudisi, "I'm not going; even the production team's donkey needs to rest, let alone me."

"Besides, there's basically nothing going on over the New Year. By the way, have the people at the test field been notified?"

"The Master has already asked about this four times." Belfast smiled. "They received the notice early and should be able to come back this morning."

"Heh, not seeing them appear in the port area, I always feel like something's missing." Qin Ge laughed.

"Then what are the Master's plans for today? Is he going to stroll around the port area, or visit the few stationed commanders?" Kalubudisi laughed.

Qin Ge thought for a moment. "Actually, I'm preparing to try summoning a new fleet girl again. Although the last several attempts failed, that doesn't mean I've already summoned all the fleet girls."

"So today, since I have the time, I've decided to give it a try. If I succeed in summoning, all the better; if not, I'll treat it as leisure."

"After finishing these things, I plan to visit a few garrisons. Although we won't be spending the Spring Festival together, as commander of the Grand Fleet I still need to fulfill my duties."

"Once these are done, it'll be nearly afternoon; then I'll change into formal attire for the Spring Festival gala—making for a perfect, fulfilling day."

"Hehe, what a clear plan. Then I'll trouble the Head Maid to prepare the Master's meal, while I go to the Kitchen Goddess Miss to gather the resources needed for the summoning." Kalubudisi laughed.

"Hmm, then it's up to you, Kalü." Qin Ge said.

"No problem—whatever the Master needs, I can do." Kalubudisi said with a smile, then bowed and left the room.

"Having you Maid Corps around is really nice; I guess I've grown accustomed to laziness." Qin Ge turned his head to look at Belfast and couldn't help but laugh.

"If even the Master feels lazy, then I think there are hardly any diligent people left in the world." Belfast smiled. "And if, despite having our Maid Corps, the Master still needs to grow busier, that would be our failure."

Qin Ge rubbed his nose. "Alright, let's eat first. Later we'll go together to try summoning and see what kind of fleet girl we can summon this time."

"Mm."

Soon the two finished breakfast; as they left the room heading for the construction room beside the warehouse, greetings for Qin Ge could be heard everywhere.

"Commander, happy New Year's Eve! I heard you don't have to go to work so early today—where are you planning to go? Why not rest a bit longer in your quarters?" George V said, smiling as he approached Qin Ge.

"This year is also coming to an end; I intend to use up this year's luck on the last day. So I want to go to the construction room to try summoning, to see if I can summon a new fleet girl." Qin Ge laughed.

"Oh, that's actually a good idea. I happen to have nothing to do right now, so I'll accompany you to have a look." George V said, interested.

"Hehe, that's quite nice. If we happen to summon one of your Royal fleet girls, you could also take care of the arrangements." Qin Ge smiled.

"Haha, the Commander's remark is spot on—I hope this time we can summon several more Royal fleet girls." George V laughed.

When the group arrived together at the construction room, they found Kalubudisi already waiting, with the cubes and supplies needed for summoning laid out on the floor; it seemed that leaving the matter to the Maid Corps would always yield a good result.

"Master, everything is ready. This time we've prepared about four hundred Wisdom Cubes and the corresponding supplies; that should be sufficient." Kalubudisi stepped forward and said.

"Hehe, I hope we can use up all these supplies. However, according to probability, if we fail to summon after five or more attempts, we'll temporarily give up." Qin Ge smiled.

"Hehe, the Kitchen Goddess Miss said there's no problem; the reserves of Wisdom Cubes in our port area are still fairly ample, more than enough to withstand the Master's consumption." Kalubudisi laughed.

Qin Ge chuckled. "Although you say that, unnecessary consumption is just waste—let me try first and see."

"Mm."

Thus, under the gaze of the several people, Qin Ge walked to the side of the construction device, took a deep breath, placed the Wisdom Cubes and supplies inside, and then pressed the start button.

The construction device roared to life with a rumbling sound; Qin Ge's heart leapt to his throat as he fixed his gaze on the device's display screen.

If a time appeared on the screen, that would prove this construction succeeded; if nothing was displayed and the device stopped running, that would prove this construction failed.

Amid the silent waiting of the crowd, a time appeared on the construction device's screen.

"0:55:00!"

"Phew, it came out!" Qin Ge exclaimed in delight.

"This time, it seems to be my sister?" Kalubudisi also exclaimed in delight.

"Hehe, the Commander is really impressive; just earlier he was talking about Royal fleet girls, and now one has been constructed right away." George V praised.

"Quick, see which Dido-class it is!"

"Good!"
