That green ship girl is amazing.
Helena felt that Rome was probably the strongest among the ship girls in front of her.
After all, among these nine ship girls, apart from Rome, they are either max-level legendary ship girls, level 1 Empire ship girls, or Sukhbaatar with an unknown level and the crippled Deep Sea Dean. Helena, a level 1 ship girl who just stepped out of the construction device, certainly wouldn't be able to sense the strength of these monsters. In comparison, Rome, the weakest among them, became the most conspicuous because of her moderate level.
"Helena." Nia led Helena towards Cleveland. "This is my ship girl. I have a lot to tell you. Can we have a proper chat after construction is finished?"
As Nia spoke, she led Helena to Cleveland's side.
"Yes." Helena hadn't recovered from the shock of facing the mountain, and just nodded blankly.
Nia nodded and walked back to the construction device.
"Hello, Helena, I'm Cleveland." Cleveland looked at Helena, who was still in shock, and expressed her understanding.
Helena had just emerged from the construction device, still brimming with confidence, when she saw the group of great demons and realized the gap between herself and them; she was definitely somewhat discouraged.
Helena turned to look at Cleveland.
This should be the ship girl of my admiral.
Fortunately, while Cleveland's aura was strong, it wasn't as overwhelming as Rome's, which made Helena afraid to even look him in the eye.
"Hello, Cleveland, I'm Helena," Helena said with a somewhat forced smile to Cleveland.
Cleveland didn't say anything, but moved two chairs over and sat down with Helena.
The psychological gap will eventually be overcome.
Helena's reaction is so strong because she is only level 1 and cannot comprehend the strength of Rome climbing to level 60 under the brutal Spartan training. Once Helena's level increases, she should be less surprised.
Nia walked back to the construction device.
Building just one Helena is definitely not enough.
Xiao Bai gave Nia thousands of resources to build, with the aim of enabling Nia to construct a powerful fleet.
"Let's start building a slightly larger ship now," Xiaobai suggested. "Cleveland and Helena are already very strong ship girls."
“Okay, sure.” Nia obeyed Xiaobai’s every word.
The construction formulas for larger ships are much more expensive than those for light ships, but in return, the ship girls produced are generally medium to large-sized ships with high firepower.
Mr. Barbatos directed the staff to continuously feed resources into the construction device.
Vast amounts of resources were being thrown into the bottomless pit of construction equipment as if they were free.
With everything ready, Nia took a breath and resumed her construction.
Chapter 302 A family should be complete.
Next, Mr. Barbatos witnessed the most extravagant scene he had ever seen in his life.
Invaluable resources and deep-sea metals were thrown into the construction device one after another, and then, under Nia's control, they quickly turned into black smoke and spewed out.
As a businessman, Mr. Barbatos didn't quite understand the significance of ship girls to the admiral.
But he understood what the black smoke constantly billowing from the construction equipment meant.
That's money!
Every tiny speck of dust in this smoke is money!
One by one, the staff behind Mr. Barbatos came up and threw the resources they had into the construction device. Then they carried the empty iron buckets and ran quickly to the resource station to resupply. The staff who ran out of the resource station also kept coming back, forming a wonderful dynamic balance.
In just a few minutes at the start of the game, Nia had already used up a number of points that are unimaginable to ordinary people.
Mr. Barbatos was just glad that Little White hadn't been so heartless as to push all the expenses onto the Admiral's Guild. Otherwise, even if Mr. Barbatos survived the anomaly in the Fourth Sea, he would have been crushed by the enormous debt that he could never afford in his lifetime.
Nia, after experiencing a series of emotional shifts and cleansings, including initial unfamiliarity, fear, joy, terror, and heartache, gradually calmed down, her hands rhythmically pressing on the construction device in front of her.
The amount of money Xiaobai spent to build a ship for Nia was so enormous that it would make 99% of the admirals in the world envious. Once today is over, Nia will never be able to repay it, not even if she works like a slave for ten lifetimes.
"Ding!" Just then, a ding sound came from the construction device.
Nia, who was holding deep-sea metal and preparing to pry open the hatch and stuff it inside, was stunned.
"Congratulations, Admiral Nia! You've created another new ship girl!" Xie Yun exclaimed at the right moment, bringing Nia back to reality.
"Ah! It's out again!" Nia clapped her hands happily.
This time, Xie Yun didn't ask any more questions. She just exchanged glances with Xiaobai and then installed the rapid construction device in the construction unit.
Just like when Helena was created, the time on the LCD screen was decreasing rapidly toward zero.
The hatch opened, and white steam billowed out.
A ship girl wearing a white sailor uniform and with a long black ponytail that reached her waist walked out of the hatch.
Her eyes immediately fell on Nia, who was standing in front of the hatch.
"Excuse me, are you my commander?" the black-haired ship girl asked Nia.
"Ah! It's me!" Nia looked at the ship girl in front of her with surprise.
The black-haired ship girl looked at Nia, seemingly quite pleased that her admiral was a delicate girl. She nodded and said, "I am Takao, and I am willing to offer my humble assistance to you."
"Hello Kaohsiung, my name is Nia!" Nia happily pulled her in front of Xiaobai. "Kaohsiung, this is Xiaobai!"
Nia showed the newly built ship girl to Shiro as soon as possible, and she made no attempt to hide her affection for Shiro.
"You must be a close friend of Admiral Kaohsiung." Kaohsiung bowed politely to Shiro. "Hello, Admiral Shiro."
"This Kaohsiung girl is different from the one in the naval base..."
"My breasts seem to have gotten a lot bigger..."
"elder sister!"
Just then, the sound of destroyers rang out behind Xiaobai again. Four blue-haired destroyers were gathered together, discussing themselves in a very serious manner.
Kaohsiung smiled knowingly: "Is there a Kaohsiung in Admiral Shirakawa's naval base as well?"
"Yes, there are." Xiaobai nodded with a smile.
"Please make sure you have time to meet me; I would be extremely grateful."
"Okay." Xiaobai nodded, then waved to the other ship girls behind her, beckoning them over as well. "Come on, let me introduce you. This is Veneto, that's Enterprise, and over there are Sukhbaatar and Patchina. The one holding the book is Empire... Empire, don't get so close to your face while reading!"
"Okay," the Empire replied honestly in a weak voice.
Xiao Bai glanced at Kaohsiung somewhat embarrassedly: "Oh, and this one is from Rome."
Following Xiaobai's directions, Kaohsiung looked towards Rome, and then his usually calm expression changed in surprise.
Because the construction of the Roman city had taken too long, Veneto sent her to buy some snacks. At that moment, she was carrying a bunch of potato chips and ice cream.
However, this did not prevent Kaohsiung from seeing the beast-like aura emanating from Rome.
"Oh, another new ship girl? Hello, I'm Roma." Roma greeted Takao warmly, then took out an ice pop and handed it to her. "Want some ice cream?"
Kaohsiung did not react, but continued to look at Rome.
Rome, holding the ice cream, couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
"Is he a strongman?" Gao Xiong murmured, looking at Rome.
"what?"
"You are truly an admirable strongman. Your fighting spirit is so tangible that it puts Kaohsiung to shame."
"What the heck? Battle aura?" Rome looked at his body with a puzzled expression.
I had nothing on me except a bunch of plastic bags full of potato chips and ice cream.
Kaohsiung accepted the popsicle from Rome: "I have received your gift, and I swear I will protect this popsicle with my life!"
"No, that popsicle is for eating."
"Okay!" Kaohsiung nodded toward Rome.
"Eh————" Roma looked at Kaohsiung, not knowing how to react for a moment.
This ship girl seems a bit difficult to deal with...
Kaohsiung seems to think of itself as a very strong person?
its not right.
Rome felt incredibly weak.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Rome is dozens of times stronger than she was at Tier 1; she still can't withstand a single shot from Veneto. There are no other ship girls to compare Rome to, and Veneto's constant ideological indoctrination has led Rome to believe she's still the most pathetic battleship in the world.
Kaohsiung reluctantly left Nia and was taken to Cleveland and Helena's side.
At this time, Cleveland also brought out a chair for Kaohsiung to sit on.
Seeing her ship girls enjoying themselves so much, Nia returned to the construction device with a sense of satisfaction.
After creating two ship girls, Nia became even more confident in herself.
Construction has only just begun!
Xiaobai has only used less than a quarter of the building materials he prepared for himself!
Nia, full of energy, picked up the deep-sea metal and threw it into the construction device.
-
However, Nia's rapid, continuous failure pattern persisted for some time.
People are always lucky or unlucky. After creating Helena on the second launch and then creating Kaohsiung after another fifty or sixty launches, Nia was stuck in a gap of more than a hundred launches.
Barbatos watched as the resources dwindled at an alarming rate, feeling a sharp pain in his heart.
He even felt that the black smoke being spewed out could almost circle the Earth.
Being an admiral is a profession that someone without money absolutely cannot afford.
"Ding!" Finally, after two or three hundred shots, the construction facility in front of Nia beeped again.
Compared to the surprises of the previous two times, Nia is now used to this sound.
Xie Yun stepped forward and handed over the rapid construction device. Nia then waited for the time to expire, and after the timer reached zero, she stepped forward and opened the hatch.
Everything started to fall into place smoothly and effortlessly without me even realizing it.
The hatch opened with a creak.
Large amounts of white vapor gushed out of the construction device.
"Oh my, what an adorable commander!" Before the white mist could dissipate, a woman's voice came from behind the rising mist.
A pair of white-gloved hands reached out from inside, grabbed Nia, and gently pulled her into the white mist.
Then, Nia felt herself bump into a pair of soft, fragrant things.
She quickly waved her hand to disperse the white mist around her.
Nia looked up at the ship girl in front of her.
"Eh? Takao?" Nia was taken aback when she saw the ship girl in front of her.
The ship girl in front of me was wearing a white sailor uniform and had long black hair. She looked remarkably like the previous Kaohsiung.
Huh? Could it be another one from Kaohsiung?
Nia looked at the ship girl in front of her with some shock.
"Does the Admiral already have Takao?" The ship girl in front of her seemed to have heard an interesting word. She reached out and touched Nia's head, then looked towards Cleveland as if drawn by a force.
She saw Kaohsiung sitting there.
The ship girl gave a charming smile.
"Oh, I see. But I'm sorry, big sister, I'm not Takao." The ship girl said to Nia, "Nice to meet you, Admiral. I'm Atago. Let me take good care of you from now on~"
The ship girl named Atago squinted and smiled as she looked at Nia in her arms.
"Atago?" Nia, in Atago's arms, paused, "Is she Takao's sister ship?"
"Bingo~" Atago smiled as she looked at Nia in her arms, then looked towards Kaohsiung sitting not far away.
Kaohsiung also noticed Atago's presence immediately.
Kaohsiung and Atago are indeed sister ships; Kaohsiung is Atago's nominal older sister.
"Alright, alright, stop it, stop it!" But at that moment, Cleveland walked between Nia and Atago, pulled Atago away, and said, "We still have to continue building, kid."
