Although if they were serious, they could snatch anything from a small circle, the professor just said not to cause trouble.
"I can't answer that question. You'll have to ask the captain yourself."
Kiana was equally speechless, but she didn't know how to explain, so she quickly called Li Chaoge over and stuffed all the plastic rings into his hands, "Captain, Captain, come here and help us hold these!"
"..."
Li Chaoge, who had just walked over with Ayaka and the others, glanced speechlessly at Kiana and Exusiai, who were all smiles. He then reached out and put a bunch of plastic rings on his arm. "If you can't carry that many, just wait until we're done playing before you buy more."
These stalls don't have many people playing at the same time, so they don't prepare many plastic rings. One hundred yuan could probably buy all the plastic rings from the stall owner.
"Hehe, Seele, come and play too."
Kiana ignored Li Chaoge's nagging and went to drag Seele and the others to play together.
Could she say she didn't think of this at first? After all, buying everything at once is the most normal thing to do.
"Oh? Okay."
Seele paused for a moment, hesitated, and then followed Kiana to play.
Shall we have a competition to see who can loop the most rings out of ten?
Heinrich twirled his index finger in a circle, feeling that it was just a simple ring toss and asked Exusiai with a grin.
"Can it interfere with the other side?"
Exusiai raised an eyebrow. Goodness, she had originally intended to let the stall owner off the hook, but if it came to the competition, she couldn't afford to be lenient.
"Sure, otherwise how can we compete?"
Heinrich nodded naturally. They usually fought and fired on the vast ocean. Now that they were too close, wouldn't everyone have a 100% hit rate if they didn't interfere with each other?
"Then let's go!"
Exusiai immediately began a solo duel with Heinrich.
"Shall we have a competition?"
Seeing this, Black Seele, who had come with Seele, gave Lilith a provocative look as she crossed her arms and put on a cold face.
The captain usually doesn't allow them to fight, and in the last few days he hasn't even allowed them to argue. However, where there's a will, there's a way; winning against the other side using other methods is also a victory.
"childish."
Lilith glanced at the provocative Blackie and uttered two words indifferently.
She then walked over to Li Chaoge and extended her hand.
"Master, please give me twenty circles."
"Lilith, you want to play too?"
Li Chaoge gave Lilith a strange look and gave her twenty circles.
It's understandable that the others are usually playful and energetic, but Lilith might not be so sociable. Of course, it's good to be able to fit in and play together, since Lilith would be too lonely on her own.
"Ah."
Lilith nodded, walked back to Hei hope, and tossed half of the plastic ring to Hei hope.
"You call me naive? Then what are you doing?"
Hei hope was about to retort, but when she saw Lilith coming over with the plastic ring, she was speechless.
"I'll teach you how to be a person."
Lilith glanced at Hei hope and threw the ring directly onto a remote-controlled car toy.
"...Hehe, let's give it a try then."
Hei hope felt she had to show Lilith how powerful she was, and not to be outdone, she put a glowing gun that could make a "biubiu" sound into the trap.
Lilith glanced at it, then continued her attack, successfully trapping a doll. Blackie followed suit and made her move as well.
"How are they all so good? They hit the target every time they shoot."
"They're here to cause trouble, aren't they?"
"A moment of silence for the boss."
"Can't this place be a bit more honest? I once threw fifty rings and only got a small toy, it was a total rip-off. Boss! Give me fifty rings!"
"Be careful, it's a trap!"
"If this boss could afford such beautiful shills, would he still be setting up a stall here?"
"..."
With the addition of Black Hillililis, many onlookers were amazed by their exquisite craftsmanship.
However, the group, engrossed in the game, paid no attention. Exusiai and Heinrich would occasionally throw their own rings at each other's flying circles, trying to disrupt the opponent's accuracy. Blackie and Lilith were even more aggressive, focusing on throwing their own rings after realizing that their opponents were not bad. Only Ayanami, Mona, and Bagpipe were quietly playing by themselves, not getting involved in the competition.
Although the ring toss game turned into a competitive game, their superior skills meant that the boxed toys on the ground were gradually decreasing one by one.
Exusiai and the others who were playing didn't manage to get many targets, and Lilith and the others only managed to get a few targets at the beginning before they were all throwing targets at each other. Only the emotionless Ayanami maintained a 100% success rate in getting targets, looking like she was about to beat the game.
At first, the stall owner remained calm when he saw them laughing and joking while putting on the items. He thought that it was just luck that one or two of them got tricked, and it was no big deal.
But when he saw that half of the goods he had just put up had been fitted with rings in a short period of time, he panicked. These people must be here to cause trouble!
However, with so many people around, he couldn't directly stop them from playing, so he could only watch helplessly with a grim expression.
This kind of game is actually not uncommon; it can be found in many places. It's usually used to fool tourists, and it's mostly played by adults with young children. It's rare to see young people playing it.
Exusiai and the others seemed to be having a lot of fun, but generally, many people buy dozens of rings and still don't manage to get a single one.
As Japanese horse racing girls, Miyu and Megumi McQueen rarely participated in fireworks festivals with games like this. They usually played things like catching goldfish or shooting air guns. Seeing that Ayanami Mona and the others could throw accurately, they stood outside the fence, practiced for a moment, and then threw their own.
However, unlike Ayanami and the others, the plastic rings they threw bounced off the toy boxes they wanted.
Even the little trinkets that accidentally fall to the ground in some circles are the cheap kind.
Li Chaoge glanced at the farce Heinrich and the others were putting on and shook his head helplessly.
"I told you not to go and cause trouble, how are we going to carry all this stuff later?"
I told him not to cause trouble, but he still did. Isn't that just making things difficult for him?
Actually, he doesn't necessarily expect everyone to make a mistake and end up being ripped off. It's normal to lose money sometimes when doing business. But they don't need all those tricks.
These toys are very cheap to buy wholesale, and the quality isn't very good. Only kids will play with them for a bit. If you want to collect toys as souvenirs, you should buy better ones.
"Don't worry, Master. They're just having fun. Heinrich and the others won't really want these things."
Seeing that Li Chaoge seemed troubled, Belfast leaned close to his ear and whispered something.
For the ship girls in their port, nobody really cares about these things. The trash that submarines salvage from sunken ships in the deep sea is much better than this.
They were simply enjoying the feeling of having their commander by their side and being able to play around freely.
This applies to ship girls, and Belfast believes that it applies to everyone else as well; none of them are superficial people.
"Actually, it's fine if everyone keeps a small souvenir. If you want to keep too many things, Belfast, you can compensate the stall owner as you see fit."
Li Chaoge shook his head and instructed Belfast.
"Understood, Master."
Belfast smiled and nodded in agreement, without asking why the stall owner needed compensation.
Whether or not there is compensation is irrelevant. Her Majesty the Queen can spend hundreds of millions in expenses at any time. They only have tens of millions of liquid funds in this world for the time being, but they will become wealthy in a while and will not have to worry about money at all.
She was more concerned about what the commander was thinking at that moment.
It's actually quite normal for the commander to like them. Even if the initial impression of them was that they were just two-dimensional characters from the second game, how many people wouldn't be happy if such beautiful girls appeared beside them and said they liked them?
Undoubtedly, even if the commander had not experienced many hardships and was just an ordinary person, after experiencing a major change and becoming rich overnight, he would still be able to genuinely respect the socially disadvantaged groups who are not as good as him and not treat people differently because of their poverty or wealth.
Humble and open-minded, full of enthusiasm, indifferent to power, and forever kind, their affection for the commander is undoubtedly because he is worthy of their affection.
The ship girls are innocent and naive, but they are not stupid. They know very well who treats them well and who doesn't.
"Ayaka, Selena Lucia, and Mei, aren't you all going to play? They're having a lot of fun."
Li Chaoge looked at the others beside him, including Ayaka Kamisato, who were just watching Heinrich and the others play. Although Heinrich and the others were too lively and troublesome, being too quiet and reserved was not good either.
"I don't really like these toys."
Ayaka Kamisato shook her head upon hearing this. Although she was somewhat interested in this ring toss game, she didn't like those toys, so even if she won, there would be no fun in it.
After all, she didn't expect to win in the first place, so how could she be happy if she had no expectations?
"Yes, those things don't really suit my taste."
Nian nodded in agreement. Although she also loved to play games, like mahjong, this set of rings required no skill at all. What was the point of her and Exusiai bullying ordinary people?
Ying, Lucia, Selena, and Mei all thought so too. They weren't pretending to be aloof or not fitting in with Kiana and Exusiai; they just genuinely weren't that interested. Forcing themselves to pretend to be happy would only make things worse.
"There are balloon popping, kite flying, and painting over there. Let's go play over there."
Li Chaoge pondered for a moment, then looked around at his surroundings and said.
It seems there's an event going on at a nearby park. It's almost noon and there are still quite a few people. There are many vendors selling kites, snacks, and ring toss games, and even balloon poppers. I didn't see any stalls with lots of things displayed, the kind where you throw things from a distance and they fall down – those used to be quite common in these parks and squares.
"Hmm? I'm more interested in kites."
Selena looked up at the kites in the sky. She had never done this before on Earth, let alone in the Hanging Gardens. There was no place big enough for her to fly a kite.
"However, the wind isn't very strong today, so we probably won't be able to fly very high."
Raiden Mei also looked up at the sky and thought that although the weather was nice today, it was not really suitable for flying kites. Kite flying is more fun on windy days.
"It's alright, Mei can use the wind."
Bronya, in her Bronya form as the Herrscher of Reason, glanced at Raiden Mei, stretched out her slender, white hand, and whispered, "Gale! Submit to me!"
"...Bronya, would you like roast duck or braised duck for dinner tonight?"
Raiden Mei's expression stiffened, but she looked at Bronya with an unchanged smile.
That's definitely a dark history! Why do you keep bringing that up?
Although she didn't realize it at the time and didn't realize it later, after Kiana and Bronya teased her about it a few times, she began to think of it as a dark history.
What? You're asking me why the Herrscher of Thunder shouts for the winds to submit to me?
She's not the Herrscher of Thunder; she's just an ordinary cook.
"If I could, I would like to be a live salted duck."
Seeing Mei staring at her, Bronya smiled and hid behind Li Chaoge.
"You guys..."
Li Chaoge looked at the two of them speechlessly. Aren't you good friends? Why do you always like to expose each other's embarrassing pasts?
Although he also quite enjoys seeing them confront their embarrassing past.
"Let's go play there! Doctor, let's go!"
Seeing that none of them objected, Nian immediately took over Li Chaoge's circle and gave it to Bai Jin, excitedly pulling Li Chaoge along on their way.
Li Chaoge had no choice but to follow, but before leaving, she turned back to Belfast and said, "Belfast, could you please keep an eye on them here for a while? Bring them over after they've thrown the rest of the rings."
"Good host."
Belfast glanced at Root and Lucia Ray, who had silently followed to protect the Commander, and nodded with a smile.
Platinum looked down at the rings in her hand, then glanced at Li Chaoge, who had been pulled away by Nian and the others, and Exusiai and the others who were laughing and joking. She then grabbed two rings and threw them into the fence.
Chapter 131. Each Side Takes a Blow! (4000 words)
Although it was said that the two groups would play separately, Heinrich and Exusiai, with the help of Platinum, quickly finished off the remaining rings and took all the toys from the stall owner.
However, just as Belfast told Li Chaoge, they didn't really want these useless toys when they played this game. They took a few small items that looked decent and then distributed most of the toys to the children who were passing by.
Seeing this, Belfast also gave the stall owner several hundred dollars in compensation before speaking with Shanghai Inrich and the others.
A few hundred yuan isn't much, but they didn't cheat; they all won by their own skill. So, she gave them a small compensation for the cost of the goods and then didn't plan to do anything else.
After all, she couldn't possibly compensate the other party for any potential gains they might have made today; that would be truly foolish.
"Commander, Commander!"
Heinrich was the first to run to Li Chaoge's side. He was about to jump up and hug Li Chaoge as usual, but when he saw that Li Chaoge was still holding the kite, he quickly stopped.
"Pop~~~"
