Daily life with the ship girl

"Is this device really the old and dilapidated one that Firefly originally mentioned?"

"That's right, but I don't know the specific reason, and I don't know if it can be used." Li Ran looked at the resources stacked around him, and he suddenly became a little nervous.

"It will definitely work. This construction equipment is more advanced than those at the Admiral Academy headquarters."

"Oh, probably." Li Ran had no impression of the Admiral Academy headquarters mentioned by Lexington, and answered perfunctorily.

Firefly looked at the machine in front of him, shook Li Ran, pouted and said unhappily:

"Admiral, do you still want to build it?"

Li Ran touched the firefly's head and sighed:

"I don't want to either. You've heard what Lexington said, right? There are three deep-sea bases near the port where our island is located."

"Okay." Firefly nodded sensibly. The child's mood changes at any time. She has absolute trust in Li Ran because it was Li Ran who woke her up from the darkness. As long as it was a decision made by Li Ran, she would not object.

Lexington looked at the fireflies, squatted down, looked at her and said:

"Hey, Firefly, thank you for protecting the Admiral. I will be your friend from now on."

Firefly watched Lexington bring his favorite aluminum to his eyes, hugged her, and buried his head in the majesty of his wife's chest. Li Ran just wanted to say:

I want it too.

Li Ran looked away and sighed. He walked to the construction device and touched the joystick. As expected, the artificial intelligence synthesized voice of the construction device came:

"Traces of resources have been detected nearby. Construction is possible. Please select the construction type."

Li Ran looked confused. He asked Lexington:

"Choose the construction type? Can't the construction device only build ships?"

Lexington also discovered such a device for the first time. She shook her head and said:

"I don't know either. The construction devices I've seen can only perform a single construction, either building ship equipment or summoning ship girls, which is what humans call large construction. The commander's construction device is the first time I've seen it in this state."

Li Ran sighed. It was really troublesome. He wanted to give it a try and asked:

“What exactly does construction type mean?”

The construction device immediately replied:

"Building a ship to awaken the ship girl is the first type of construction, and building warship equipment is the second type of construction. Please choose."

Li Ran thought about it and decided to build a ship. As for ship equipment, he had insufficient resources and could only postpone it for the time being. After thinking it over, he said:

"Conducting the first type of construction."

Construction device artificial voice says:

"Please select the proportion of the four resources."

Li Ran is currently short of resources, so he can only choose the most resource-saving 3363 construction formula. He said:

"The ratio is 30 units of oil, 30 units of bullets, 60 units of steel, and 30 units of aluminum."

"This construction formula is being created for the first time. Do you want to confirm the construction? If you do, please pull down the joystick."

Li Ran took a deep breath and pulled the joystick.

Li Ran was a little nervous. He looked at the ticking time display and felt a little nervous. Although it was a small boat formula, he was still confident that he could...

"Huh? 5:30?" Li Ran opened his mouth wide, and the corners of his mouth twitched. Isn't this the time of the battleship? Is this formula poisonous?"

Lexington also heard the sound of Li Ran pulling down the joystick. She looked up without much hope, but when she saw that the construction time was five and a half hours, she became excited and said:

"Commander, have you invested all your resources?"

"No, although this machine can suck in resources in a flash, if you count, there are still a lot of resources left, right?" Li Ran spread his hands.

Lexington looked around and found that the resources were indeed less, but there were still some left. She was a little confused:

"What is the Commander's formula?"

Li Ran sighed and complained:

"I'm using the most resource-saving expulsion formula 3363."

"What is the most resource-saving expulsion formula? No, Commander, do you mean..."

"Yes, 30% oil, 30% bullet, 60% steel, and 30% aluminum. Isn't this the most well-known formula?"

Lexington was shocked. She murmured:

"That's impossible. I've seen other admirals build their buildings, and each resource costs thousands."

"Ah?" Li Ran was shocked when he heard that. Although he traveled to the world of KanColle, the real world cannot be measured by the game after all. However, he never expected that the resources required for the construction formula in the game would be magnified a hundred times in reality. This was too exaggerated.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel uneasy. If this was the case, then the construction time wouldn't be the same as in the game...

Thinking of this, he quickly asked:

"Then won't I be out of the battleship in five and a half hours?"

"No, it will definitely come out. The commander's luck is really amazing. This way, the safety of the port area will be further guaranteed."

Li Ran opened his mouth and asked, "What's going on? Although this is an unscientific world of KanColle, what the hell is this setting where sometimes it follows the game and sometimes it's abnormal?"

Lexington looked at the confused Li Ran and thought he was too happy. However, after the impulsive confession, she had completely regarded Li Ran as her admiral. She had to make plans for the development of the port. Well, she put herself in the position of a secretary ship. However, the battleship had to change her plan. She thought for a while and said:

"Commander, it's too early to be happy now. If it's a battleship, the shortage of resources in the port will be even more serious. We have to advance our plan to attack the deep-sea stronghold near the port."

Li Ran smiled bitterly. He knew that he was short of resources, but he never dreamed that the 3363 formula could produce a battleship. Plans could not keep up with changes. He sighed:

"Forget it, let's just use a battleship. More firepower means more protection. Well, I'll try to build it a second time."

The construction device heard what Li Ran said and asked, "Do you want to build a second time? You can build twice a day at most."

"Yes." Li Ran sighed. It seemed that it was indeed different from the game. Although no blueprints were required, it could only be built twice a day. It seemed that this world of ship girls also had its own rules.

"Please confirm the construction type and resource allocation ratio."

"For the first type of construction, the proportions are still 30 units of fuel, 30 units of bullets, 60 units of steel, and 30 units of aluminum."

"Please pull the lever down."

Li Ran took a deep breath and glanced at Lexington's encouraging eyes.

I glanced at the firefly that was chewing bullets and treating them like candy beans. I felt a pain in my teeth. I only heard the firefly mumble:

"Come on, Admiral."

Li Ran felt unsure and he prayed that he could really get out of the boat this time, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to afford it.

I nervously watched as the construction time started to tick and finally stopped at thirty minutes.

Li Ran looked at the time and felt a little disappointed. Although he was clamoring for a small boat, when he saw that the 3363 formula in the game could produce a battleship, he certainly hoped that a miracle could happen again.

Lexington saw that Li Ran seemed a little lost, and quickly comforted him:

"Commander, you must learn to be content."

Li Ran smiled bitterly and nodded. However, he saw that half of the resources were gone, and there was no aluminum left. He sighed and said to Lexington apologetically:

"I have used up all the aluminum in these two constructions. You may have to reduce your chances of going on expeditions."

"Well, it's nothing. The commander's safety is the top priority. If the port area can have one more sister, it means that the commander's safety will be more guaranteed." Lexington said gently, which touched Li Ran. She felt a little warm in her heart and changed the subject:

"But from now on, the aluminum in the port area will still be mine, right, Commander?"

Li Ran looked at his wife who had a half-smile on her face and understood the meaning behind her words. He was touched for only a second. How deep was her resentment towards aluminum?

After Firefly finished her supplies, she felt a little sleepy. She rubbed her eyes, yawned and said:

"Admiral, Firefly is sleepy."

Li Ran was stunned for a moment, then he realized that it was getting late, but he still wanted to wait for the 30-minute construction time to be over. However, Firefly was sleepy, so it was more important to calm the little guy down first. He walked forward, picked up Firefly, and said lovingly:

"Come on, Admiral, I'll carry you back to sleep. By the way, Lexington, if you're tired, go back to the garrison and rest. I'll wait until the 30-minute construction time is up and then go to sleep. As for the five and a half hours, we'll come back tomorrow morning to check."

"Commander, you send Firefly back first, I'll guard it." Lexington said, and yawned, but covered it with her hand like a lady.

"You are also sleepy. How about this? I will send Firefly back, and you wait for me to come back, and then go back to rest. Okay, it's decided."

Lexington wanted to refute, but Li Ran waved his hand, left her with the back of his head, and disappeared into the depths of the woods.

The commander is really considerate.

Lexington showed a charming smile, and the breeze blew through her flaxen hair, making her look like a goddess in the moonlight. Unfortunately, no one saw this scene.

Chapter 9: The expulsion formula does not produce expulsion

Because the garrison was still very simple and had no furniture, Li Ran could only use the clothes brought by the KanColle Headquarters Investigation Team and the Admiral Academy Headquarters Delegation as mattresses and quilts.

Fortunately, Firefly just muttered, "Admiral, I want a soft quilt and a doll from now on."

Li Ran quickly agreed. After making sure that Firefly was asleep, he picked up an admiral's jacket, tiptoed to close the door, went downstairs, and when he returned to the construction equipment, he saw Lexington sitting under a tree, asleep.

Li Ran gently put his coat on Lexington. Looking at his wife's charming sleeping posture, he still felt a stir in his heart.

However, Li Ran only looked at him for a while. He felt that if he was discovered like this, he would definitely be misunderstood again, so he quickly looked away.

After making sure he hadn't woken her up, he carefully walked over to the construction device and looked at the clock, which showed 10 minutes left.

He suddenly missed the marriages in the game he had quit. He counted them on his fingers and could only vaguely remember that the first one to be married was his wife, the second was his sister-in-law Jia Jia, the third was Ping Hai, the fourth was Helena, and he couldn't remember the fifth one.

Li Ran laughed at himself and began to daydream.

If the situation in the game is the same, I am also a promiscuous scumbag, right? Maybe the military police would have dragged me away long ago. Oh, by the way, I wonder if there is such a thing as a military police in this world?

But the marriage destroyer is not without punishment...

As Li Ran sighed, he looked up at the bright moonlight above his head. Suddenly, he felt that these ten minutes were surprisingly long. He quickly shook his head to dispel these strange thoughts.

When he came to his senses, he began to seriously think about what to do next.

He felt a little scared when he thought that after traveling through time, he would no longer be able to complete various operations here just by moving his fingers like in the game, he felt a little scared.

However, he couldn't help feeling a little fortunate when he thought that if he and Firefly didn't have the supplies delivered in time from the KanColle Headquarters and the Admiral Academy Headquarters, he would probably have to go hungry at night.

"First, we need to clear the weeds near the tutelary fort. There are so many trees on the island, and it will be quite troublesome to deal with them. We also need to replenish the resources as soon as possible... ah, there are so many things to do, and it seems that we don't have enough manpower."

Li Ran counted his upcoming tasks and found that there were too many to do. He couldn't help feeling a little depressed and lay on the oil barrel weakly.

"However, in this world of KanColle, the night sky is surprisingly beautiful."

Li Ran looked at the starry sky and felt that although he had traveled through time, it was not too bad. At least he had Firefly, Lexington, and the identity of the admiral as a cover. As long as he worked hard, his life should not be too bad.

Time passed quickly when he was in a daze. Li Ran calculated the time and realized that ten minutes should be up soon. Just as he was about to get up, he heard Lexington's slightly lazy and tired voice:

"Thank you for the coat, Commander. It was really rude of me to accidentally fall asleep."

Li Ran sat up and waved his hands:

"No, it's not like that. You've been traveling a lot, and you helped me move resources, so it's normal to be a little tired."

At the same time, the artificial intelligence synthesized voice of the construction device interrupted the conversation between the two:

"Reminder, construction site 2, construction is about to be completed, countdown to 10..."

Li Ran quickly stood up and walked to the construction device with Lexington. Looking at the door-like position, both of them were very curious.

Of course, besides curiosity, Li Ran was more nervous.

"3, 2, 1. Construction completed." The construction device's prompt sounded stereotyped, and then the door slowly opened.

Li Ran looked forward to watching the portal slowly open. It didn't have any white light or anything like that, but it was unscientifically filled with white steam. Well, it seemed to be no different from white light.

This is not the point. The point is, the portal is open, why hasn’t the ship girl come out yet?

Li Ran was particularly uneasy at this moment.

Just as Li Ran was wondering if there was something wrong with the construction equipment, a burst of brisk footsteps came closer and a vague outline of a figure emerged from the white steam, and then a pretty person walked out.

The girl was wearing a red cheongsam and had long gray hair. She was petite and looked very adorable.

She is Ping Hai, who is a light cruiser but has the figure of a destroyer loli and an unscientific amount of breasts, and is therefore welcomed by many gentleman players in the game.

“A peaceful sea is not a peaceful sea unless it is peaceful” is not just talk. Ahem, let’s get back to the topic.

At this moment, this energetic girl looked at Li Ran with curiosity, and then said proudly:

"Light cruiser, Pinghai. The warship built by Country C is reporting in! Are you the admiral?"

"Pinghai?" Lexington looked at the excited Li Ran and asked puzzledly.
