She was taken aback when she opened the message on her phone, and looked at Platinum next to her.
"Platinum, the chat group is now available."
"Chat group?! Isn't the condition for restarting the chat group eight worlds and thirty people? Was the Doctor really that exploited by us last night to summon so many people at once?!"
Bai Jin was taken aback, then her expression changed slightly. She ran barefoot to the sofa and picked up her phone.
Keep in mind that there were only seven worlds and 22 people before, and even if you include Paimon and Seele's alternate personality, Black Seele, there were only 24 people.
In other words, the doctor summoned six people at once, including one from a new world?
Even though the Doctor kept using Command Seals to recover last night, he only lasted for thirty times. The energy he accumulated last night should only be enough to summon three people.
"There are people from the new world, but not yet thirty. Nevertheless, this is a new group..."
Ayanami looked through the group's current 27 members and easily spotted the four extra people: Kurumi, Zhao, Yingrui, and Sigma.
Their original group should have had 500 people, but this one only has 20-odd people. Also, her account is a new account in this world, not her account in Azur Lane: Sakura Empire.
Is it because they restarted the game before reaching thirty players that they specifically rebuilt it?
"It's fine as long as it's not the original group."
Platinum breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and after looking at the same image on her phone, she felt completely at ease.
Although she didn't know why the group restarted before the restart conditions were met, at least there were only a few of them in the group chat now.
If it were 500 people, that would be terrifying. Kal'tsit was still in that group before, and she didn't want to be called in by Kal'tsit to work overtime even though she was far away in another world.
She had no doubt that Kal'tsit would do such a thing; it was very likely that Kal'tsit would specifically ask her to drain the Doctor's energy to summon Kal'tsit.
The problem is that she might not be able to refuse; whether she does it or not, Kal'tsit will come sooner or later.
If she doesn't help, she'll definitely be targeted by Kal'tsit and make things difficult for her in the future. Even though Kal'tsit is here, she can no longer slack off like she is now.
"Since there are only four newcomers, I'm sure the commander can calm them down. Let's continue playing the game."
Platinum tossed her phone aside, looked at Rei, and let out a soft sigh.
"Ah."
Rei thought for a moment, nodded, put down her phone, and continued playing a new round of the game with Platinum.
The commander has Heinrich by his side now and doesn't need her protection, so she can just play her game.
Ayaka and the others, who were also free, saw the message about the establishment of the chat group. Since Bronya had explained to them how many people were still needed, they were all a little surprised.
However, after careful examination, they found no problems, so no one continued to ponder it. Some speculated that it might be related to the smuggling of characters like General Raiden, Ereshtar, and Nianxi from the movie.
However, since no one has any evidence to prove this, no one is talking about it anymore. Anyway, we'll find out when Li Chaoge comes back.
...............
In the evening, Li Chaoge returned to the villa after spending the whole day playing outside with Sigma Kiana and the others.
The purchase of building materials went very smoothly. With the market prices that Sigma had collected beforehand, they quickly reached an agreement with the suppliers on prices.
Although he didn't manage to get any insider or acquaintance discounts, he was already quite satisfied and didn't care too much about it.
Because they were going to Japan the day after tomorrow, Li Chaoge paid them extra to have the materials delivered in the next couple of days.
"Welcome back, Commander. You've worked hard."
Belfast, dressed as a maid, was waiting for Li Chaoge at the door. When she saw Li Chaoge get out of the car, she bowed slightly.
“It’s not hard work, Belfast. Here’s a walnut, and Sigma, um… Sigma is an AI, and he’s calling me Dad now.”
Li Chaoge wanted to introduce the newcomers to Belfast, but he became a little embarrassed as he spoke.
How should I describe him? I hope he won't be seen as a pervert who's lustful for program data. Although he's had these thoughts about virtual characters before, he still has them even now that his dream has come true.
"The commander's daughter?"
Belfast was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting this situation at all.
"Hello! I'm Daddy's daughter, Sigma!"
Sigma, mimicking the adults on TV, reached out his delicate little hand to shake hands with Belfast. Belfast snapped out of her daze, smiled, and smiled back at Sigma.
"Hello, I'm Belfast, you can just call me Belfast."
Belfast thought for a moment before naturally extending her hand to accept Sigma. Sigma, who had only appeared today, must have been summoned from another world; she was unlikely to be the Commander's biological daughter.
"Hmm! Miss Belfast, are you Daddy's personal maid like Veronica?"
Sigma nodded his little head repeatedly, and suddenly asked, looking at Belfast's maid outfit.
"Beronica?"
Belfast was taken aback and asked in confusion.
"Yes, you see, it's roughly like this, the one with pink hair is Veronica."
Sigma held up Li Chaoge's phone for Belfast to see.
"Flora Maid Service... I'm not a maid company, I'm the master's personal maid, I only serve your father."
Belfast glanced at the four maids in different poses on her phone screen, focusing particularly on the pink-haired maid, whose picture was captioned with the words "Flora Maid Service." She smiled and shook her head.
“But Veronica is also Daddy’s personal maid. Veronica says that Daddy is her only master.”
"But we're still different, aren't we?"
Is that so?
Sigma was a little confused. Although she had superb calculation abilities, she still couldn't quite grasp some things.
"Yes."
Belfast nodded calmly and steadily. It seemed she would have to find an opportunity to bring the other members of the maid squad over.
The commander also has special maids in other worlds. If she doesn't recruit more people, her position as butler and maid might be taken away.
She's the only official maid here right now, and as the master's sole maid, she can do many things that the master can't do, including ordering other maids around. But if other maids appear, they'll take away from her power.
As the head maid of the Royal Maid Corps, she was not coveting this power; it was just that, from the commander's perspective, the identity of a maid was indeed more appropriate and less likely to cause resistance from others.
"Hey! I'm Hu Tao, the 'Hu' in 'eat and drink to your heart'..."
"It's not the 'troublesome' kind of 'troublesome,' right?"
"Hehe, yes, yes, Miss Belfast, you're really great!"
At this moment, Hu Tao stepped forward with a grin to introduce herself, and Belfast smiled and accepted the greeting.
Compared to Sigma and others who hadn't appeared before, she had previously studied the worlds of Honkai Impact, Genshin Impact, Punishing: Gray Raven, and FGO, so she was quite familiar with Kurumi's information.
After the two women had introduced themselves, Li Chaoge looked at Zhao He and Ying Rui behind her and smiled at Belfast, saying, "You should know Zhao He and Ying Rui, so I won't say anything."
The relationship between the Eastern Empire ship girls and the Royal Navy ship girls should be okay, but even if the relationship isn't good, there are only so many ship girls in total, and they'll know the truth after spending a few years together.
"Of course. But let's move the things inside first."
Belfast smiled and nodded, her gaze falling on the truck behind Li Chaoge.
Because Li Chaoge and the others brought back a truck full of daily necessities and food, Li Chaoge, Belfast, Kiana, and Hu Tao first moved the things inside the fence.
Upon hearing the noise, Fengdi and the others came out and continued moving things into the villa.
They were actually just moving things into the Chenge Pot, but since the truck hadn't left yet, they didn't take the Chenge Pot out to move it.
The villa inside the walled compound is already quite large, and the surrounding environment is good. Apart from being a bit remote, it has no major drawbacks. However, compared to the size of a typical estate, it is still a bit too small.
Since the surrounding land doesn't belong to him, it's not appropriate to openly occupy it. So, he should first consider building the Dust Song Pot. The Dust Song Pot has such a large territory, and it can be carried around with him. He can go wherever he wants and return to the Dust Song Pot at any time.
Of course, if there's an opportunity in the future, it wouldn't be bad to transfer the land surrounding this villa to his name.
He just didn't know how complicated the procedures were, and since he was going to Japan for tourism the day after tomorrow, he decided to wait until he got back from his trip to deal with it.
After the truckload of goods had been almost unloaded, Li Chaoge suddenly received a call from Qingge.
"Belfa, I'm going to take this call."
"Master, please go back and rest. We are enough for you here."
Seeing Qingge's caller ID, he said goodbye to Belfast and the others, then went into the villa's living room, sat on the sofa, and answered the phone.
"Hey, Qingge, what's wrong? Did something go wrong with your leave request?"
He thought Qingge was calling to discuss travel.
"No, I was thinking about telling my uncle about my trip abroad."
Qingge's clear and melodious voice came through the microphone.
Although her brother is now wealthy and doesn't have to worry about the cost of traveling abroad, she is still somewhat concerned about the possibility of something going wrong since they will be going on a long trip.
“I’m already prepared to talk to them, Qingge, you don’t need to worry. Even if you don’t trust your brother, you have to trust your sisters-in-law.”
Li Chaoge immediately knew what Qingge was worried about, but he wasn't really worried. The plane crash rate was actually very low; it was just that once a plane crash happened, it was indeed very difficult for anyone to survive.
Of course, this has nothing to do with him. With so many people protecting him, how could anything happen to him?
Even if the plane malfunctions, or even if it is hijacked or exploded, he will remain unharmed.
"Um......"
Qingge understood what Li Chaoge was talking about, but since she hadn't actually witnessed their strength, she couldn't help but feel a sense of unreality in her mind, always thinking that the idea of transmigrating into reality was too fantastical.
If she hadn't pinched herself so many times without waking up from the pain, she would have thought she was dreaming. To dream that her brother had so many girlfriends was just too absurd.
"In addition, I'm also planning to arrange for them to join a senior citizen tour. They're unfamiliar with the place and don't speak the language abroad, so they wouldn't be able to fit in with so many young people like us. It should be fine if they go to China."
To prevent Qingge from overthinking, Li Chaoge changed the subject.
However, it wasn't exactly a change of topic; it was something he had always wanted to do.
He hasn't found a suitable reason to give his family the money he earns, and besides, his family has savings and doesn't lack for daily expenses. However, his father and Qingge's mother have been frugal their whole lives and have never traveled. This time, he should be able to find an opportunity to say that he won a travel voucher in a lottery so that they can go on a trip.
"Senior citizen tour group? Isn't this a scam? I've heard online that they all rip off the elderly."
Qingge was somewhat tempted upon hearing this, but she still had concerns.
"No, my former roommate used to work part-time as a tour guide. I can ask someone he knows to help look after him."
Li Chaoge certainly didn't believe the other party would help for no reason; some tour guides also receive commissions. However, paying extra was a different story. Although money isn't everything, for most people, it can indeed buy impeccable service.
"Well... then you decide, brother."
Qingge nodded slightly, deciding to let her brother make the decision; she would be a good younger sister who listened to her brother.
"By the way, Qingge, I want to tell you something. Please don't get excited or misunderstand."
When Li Chaoge thought about Sigma, he didn't know how to explain that he had an extra daughter.
"What's wrong? Could it be... Brother, you and Ying... did that?"
Qingge was taken aback. Li Chaoge's ambiguous words made her think of something special, so she cautiously probed.
Chapter 169. The Sky of Fireflies and the Peach of Kurumi
Which one is "me and Ying"?
Li Chaoge was taken aback for a moment, not understanding what Qingge was trying to say, but after thinking for a while, he realized what she meant.
"Qingge, what have you been watching lately? How did you become such a lewd girl and start thinking about those things?"
He never expected his Qingge to have such a thought. Although Qingge was a little cunning, she was mostly pure and innocent. He never expected her to be so lewd.
He had always taught Qingge very well, guiding her towards becoming a refined young lady.
Hmm... Qingge's change shouldn't have anything to do with him, right? He's been consciously avoiding Qingge and not trying to corrupt her in front of her.
"Really, no, I didn't watch anything, at most I watched a little bit of animation."
Qingge felt a little guilty talking about this, but since Li Chaoge wasn't in front of her, she remained calm on the surface.
Actually, she's recently been seeing some fan-made pairings of Sora and Hikari with a strong sibling bond. Even though the animated characters are just that, and the older brother doesn't look like Sora, she can't help but project her image onto him.
The way the older brother and Ying interact is indeed very similar to that in the game.
"Yosuga no Sora?"
"...If I said it wasn't Yosuga no Sora, would you believe me, brother?"
"..."
Li Chaoge was speechless, but there was nothing he could do. He could only explain, "My relationship with Ying is just like my relationship with you. There are no fancy things involved."
