Chapter 916: , Luck Is Really Good

When the rolling mist gradually fell, a silver-white haired shipgirl with rose‑red eyes, dressed in a black‑and‑white maid uniform, appeared before everyone.

"Nice to meet you, my master; please allow me to greet you. I am the Dido‑class light cruiser Scylla. As you can see, I'm just an ordinary maid."

That maid — no, Scylla — gave an elegant curtsy to Qin Ge, who stood at the front, and spoke softly.

Hearing Scylla's words, Qin Ge smirked inwardly. Does a Dido‑class have an ordinary maid? Look at that figure, look at those eyes — Scylla before him is certainly no ordinary character.

But although he thought that, he couldn't say it out loud. Qin Ge immediately reached out his hand and said to Scylla, "I'm Qin Ge, the commander of this Gangqu. Welcome to our Gangqu, Scylla. From today on we're family — please look after me."

Seeing Qin Ge's outstretched hand, Scylla grasped it without hesitation, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, master."

After they shook hands, Kalubudisi, who had been standing behind Qin Ge, stepped forward and said, "Scylla, the master really summoned you — being able to see you here is wonderful."

"Karubudisi, it seems you arrived here before me," Scylla likewise smiled, then saluted George V and Belfast, saying, "Greetings, Knight Commander and Head Maid."

"Hmm." George V and Belfast smiled and nodded, acknowledging the greeting.

Seeing the two maids meet, Qin Ge couldn't help but smile. The Dido‑class light cruisers are divided into three batches according to completion time and equipment; Kalubudisi and Scylla belong to the last batch, making them quite close.

"Since you two know each other, that's great, Kalubudisi — could you briefly introduce Scylla to our Gangqu's current situation? I still need to summon others." Qin Ge said.

"Yes, master." Kalubudisi smiled, then took Scylla's hand and moved to the side, eagerly telling her about the Gangqu.

"The commander summoned a Royal shipgirl all at once — I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of warship he'll summon next." George V smiled.

Qin Ge chuckled, "Summoning warships is like gambling — no one knows which ship will come next; we can only tell clearly when they appear."

"Indeed."

While speaking with George V, Qin Ge placed the Wisdom Cube and supplies back into the Construction Device; as he pressed start, a booming sound rang out, and soon a time appeared on the device's display.

"02:10:00!"

"This time — why does it resemble the construction time of the Athletic Goddess? But the Athletic Goddess is already in the Gangqu; could it be a new warship?" George V wondered.

"Maybe, but regardless of whether it's a new warship, we'll know once it's summoned." Qin Ge said, slightly excited, then placed a Rapid Construction Tool into the Construction Device.

As the machine roared, the Construction Device's hatch opened, and a purple light appeared before everyone's eyes. In fact, since being able to convert warships, Qin Ge has become less sensitive to the light corresponding to former rarity, because once transformed into a warship, even the most ordinary one emitting white light possesses tremendous power, far surpassing that of an ordinary gold shipgirl.

After the smoke cleared, a short‑haired Eastern beauty in a dark green cheongsam, holding a folding fan, stood before Qin Ge.

"Hello, commander. I am the warship Huajia of Donghuang, pleased to meet you."

Upon hearing Huajia's self‑introduction, Qin Ge's eyes lit up. "Hello, Huajia, I'm Qin Ge, commander of this Gangqu. I warmly welcome you to my Gangqu. Indeed, choosing to summon on New Year's Eve still brings a surprise — please look after me from now on."

"Eh, today is New Year's Eve?!" Huajia exclaimed, a little surprised.

"Yes, because the construction room rarely sees visitors, so this place isn't really decorated, but once you step outside you'll immediately feel the festive atmosphere." Qin Ge smiled, "However, I suggest you wait a moment; afterward I'll have Belfast notify Zhenhai to come pick you up."

"Thank you, commander." Huajia hurriedly said, then, as if recalling something, she added excitedly, "You just said the festive atmosphere is strong — does that mean there are other activities tonight on New Year's Eve?"

"Heh, indeed. There's quite a bit to say, but these activities are organized by the Donghuang shipgirls we just visited; so when Zhenhai arrives later, you can ask her for details — I'm sure you'll be interested." Qin Ge explained.

"Okay, I understand, commander!" Huajia exclaimed excitedly; she really looks forward to those interesting activities.

After arranging for Belfast to contact Zhenhai first, Qin Ge continued with the summoning.

One after another, Peace and Stability, Hundred‑Eyed Giant, Hero, Sevastopol, Theseus, Gubishev, Kursk, Voroshilov, Royal Oak, Royal Sovereign, and so on were summoned by Qin Ge.

The construction room was already filled with laughter and greetings, but Qin Ge's summoning hadn't ended; since so far this summoning had never failed, he wanted to wait until a failure occurred before stopping.

Qin Ge again placed the Wisdom Cube and supplies into the Construction Device, pressed the start button — just like before, the device didn't stop, and soon a time appeared on its display.

"04:35:00!"

Qin Ge smiled at this time, for he had seen it many times before — whether it was Peter Strasse, Tianying, Xiafei, or later Lyzov and Seydlitz, they all had this time.

Therefore it can be determined that this summoning will surely be a formidable capital ship.

With a hint of anticipation, Qin Ge placed his Rapid Construction Tool into the device's slot and pressed start. As the Construction Device rumbled, the displayed time quickly cleared to zero.

Just as he eagerly awaited the hatch opening, he suddenly noticed a colored light seeping out from the gaps of the Construction Device.

Soon, this colored light grew increasingly intense; accompanied by the gradually opening hatch, it shone like a sun over the entire construction room, piercing the roof and shooting upward.

Everyone fell silent, staring fixedly at the direction where the Construction Device's hatch was opening; mist filled the air, yet a faint figure had already appeared.

"Hiss, we hit the jackpot!"

Watching the gradually emerging figure, Qin Ge sucked in a breath of cold air.
