Chapter 960: The Reappearance of the Sea Legend

Why haven't I improved at all!

Harman looked at her own body, looking at Qin Ge with some anger and said.

Qin Ge rubbed his nose, "Actually there isn't any change anymore; at the very least, compared to before, I can grow a bit taller."

"But..." Harman wanted to say something, but in the end she held back.

"Commander, why hasn't Harman changed at all? Shouldn't she be promoted to Super Rare?" York City wondered.

Qin Ge shook his head, "I don't know either. The ship equipment modification program is inside your mental cores. Regarding Harman's current state, I'm certain she has already undergone modification. Perhaps the modification has this uncertainty—it could raise the level, or it could leave her unchanged—but I believe her overall strength will definitely increase."

"Is that so?" York City said, suddenly understanding.

"I think you've overlooked something," Bismarck said, looking at Harman at this moment.

"Overlooked something?" Qin Ge wondered.

"Harman only became an Elite Shipgirl after modification; she was originally a Rare Shipgirl. I think it's precisely because of this that, after ship equipment modification, she became a native Elite Shipgirl," Bismarck said.

Qin Ge nodded in agreement, "What Bismarck said does make sense; perhaps that's exactly why."

"Then wouldn't my modification also make me a Rare Shipgirl?" Lan Li, standing nearby, said disappointedly.

"Haha, Lan Li, don't be so downhearted. Look at Northampton—originally a Rare Shipgirl, after modification she became a Super Rare Shipgirl. Maybe your modification will turn you into an Elite Shipgirl, or even stronger, directly into a Super Rare Shipgirl," Qin Ge laughed.

"Hehe, Commander really knows how to comfort people. If it's as you said, that would be great." Lan Li laughed, "But getting back to the point, no matter how much improvement the modification brings, it will help our future battles."

"Well, if you're ready, let Helena help you with the modification."

"Okay."

Lan Li also agreed readily, quickly stepping forward, and under Helena's guidance entered the modification machine to begin the modification.

Soon, amid the rumbling of the modification machine, Lan Li completed the modification. When the purple light and smoke seeped out, everyone's eyes filled with delight; although the shock was less than at the beginning, the joy was still great.

"Cough cough~ This is the brand‑new Lan Li… How do you feel? Don't you feel more refined than before? Ready to accept stricter teaching? Hehe, look forward to it, Commander!"

It was clear Lan Li was still very satisfied with her modification; that proud little expression on her face showed great excitement.

"Hehe, impressive. It seems this modification gave you a big boost," Qin Ge laughed.

"That's right. Now your abilities, whether combat or educational, are flawless, so Commander, please look forward to it," Lan Li laughed.

"Then I'll look forward to your future activity."

After chatting and laughing with Lan Li, it was finally York City's turn. Seeing her sister and companions all completed their modifications, the earlier worry finally eased.

Now she was more curious about what she would look like after modification, holding some expectation, not knowing what changes she would undergo.

But no matter how much she thought, she ultimately had to face it herself. Thus, encouraged by Qin Ge, she entered the modification machine.

As the modification machine began to roar, York City's modification proceeded. However, compared to the previous modification, the time seemed much longer.

"Commander, why does my sister's modification take so long? Could something be wrong?" Bumblebee asked doubtfully.

Qin Ge shook his head, "I don't know, but Helena hasn't shown any panic so far, which means there's no problem—the modification is proceeding normally. However, this modification involves some changes we don't know about, good or bad; all we can do now is wait."

"That's true, but could it be that York City's sister, like Northampton, gained two levels?" Bumblebee laughed, "But that seems impossible—if she really gained two levels, she'd become a Sea Legend Rank."

Qin Ge froze for a moment, then narrowed his eyes at the modification machine, his eyes bursting with brilliant light.

"Perhaps, it's not impossible," Bismarck smiled.

"Ah? Could my sister really have done that?" Bumblebee exclaimed in surprise.

At that very moment, the modification machine's hatch suddenly made a sound, then slowly opened.

A burst of colorful light shot out from inside, accompanied by thick smoke, instantly bathing the entire research hall. Moreover, the light ignored the hall's walls and roof, shooting straight up into the sky, allowing the entire port area and surrounding islands to witness this miraculous sight.

Inside the public port area office.

"'Look, that's Guam over there!'" Zuikaku turned to face the people in the room, pointing excitedly at the soaring light.

"'This light… I feel it's somewhat like the light when Commander Qin Ge summoned Xinong,'" Xianghe said, stunned.

"'A Sea Legend? That's truly astonishing!'" Ninghai exclaimed in surprise.

"'Actually, I'm even more shocked about how many Sea Legends Commander Qin Ge now has—when we previously went to the Northern Union, he already had over ten.'" Soviet Russia sighed.

"'Hard to say, but I think there are at least over ten now.'" Ninghai said, "'As far as I know, there's the Sakura Empire's Musash, Xinong, Shimakaze, the Royal's Vanguard, Iron Blood's Emperor Frederick, Wilhelm something, and the Northern Union's Kronshtadt, plus the White Eagle's New Jersey.'"

There are many we don't know about, just like that light appeared again a few days ago.

"'Hiss, hearing you say that, I suddenly feel Commander Qin Ge's power could sweep across our nine major factions—surely there's no problem with that.'" Zuikaku exclaimed in surprise.

"'Although I don't want to admit it, but after they're converted into warships, the power they wield is truly beyond our imagination. Especially when fighting alongside them, even an ordinary vanguard warship's capability far exceeds that of our awakened main force ships.'" Soviet Russia was speechless.

"'Hehe, isn't this a good thing?'" Xianghe smiled, gazing at the fading light on the horizon, "'Commander Qin Ge is now doing what we want to do; if he truly can return the world's oceans to peace, that would be wonderful for humanity and the shipgirls.'"

"'Yeah, and we also want to contribute our own strength to this magnificent undertaking!'"
