"However, I'm already preparing to establish a new port area, and I'm currently in the process of site selection. After that, can I ask you to help with the construction?"
Light!
It's light!
A new light bloomed in the gloomy sky of the Little Yellow Chickens' hearts.
The days of idleness were about to pass, and they could finally fulfill the most crucial clause of their underlying logic—serving the Commander!
"Chirp chirp! (Mission accomplished!)" x N
This time, all the small yellow chickenss united their front and saluted Jack.
Even the one Jack was holding to check its secondary sexual characteristics did the same.
As if a mental imprint was embedded in their minds, they obeyed him, their Commander, unconditionally.
"Alright, but you all wait here for a while. How about I bring you over as soon as I have news of the site selection?"
Although the tone was consultative,
The small yellow chickenss took this as the Commander's first order.
They stood at attention like soldiers and saluted Jack.
"Attention! At ease! Very good, this batch of small yellow chickenss is excellent. Dismissed, await my further orders!"
Then Jack switched to a serious military command.
As expected, the small yellow chickenss followed orders strictly. After receiving the dismissal command, they returned to the seemingly busy state they were in before Jack arrived.
Whoosh!
Jack teleported to a hilltop near the village with a single command.
Gazing at the village with smoke curling from its chimneys, he pondered.
"The dragon's adventure integration pack has a Western fantasy background, with the existence of gods, demons, and undead creatures, thus giving rise to beings like the Gatekeeper and faithful Villagers. The highest authority is the god or Creator."
"And the Azure Lane integration pack is based on the Shipgirl game, so naturally, the person with the highest authority is the Commander."
Jack tossed the random beacon in his hand.
The beacon showed as 'used,' and on its surface, a ferocious fire dragon and a hunter playing chess with it were engraved.
"So, if I were to build an integration pack based on Monster Hunter later, what would I become? A Legendary Hunter… or a Legendary Dragon?"
...
Two hours passed.
Jack had basically explored hundreds of kilometers around and generally understood the world after loading the Azure Lane integration pack.
One could only say it lived up to the waiting time of the same caliber as the dragon's adventure integration pack.
There was truly a lot of content overwritten.
In addition to new resources like oil, aluminum ore, and copper ore, Villagers were replaced by small yellow chickenss, the sea gained hostile creatures like Siren, and the zombies and skeletons in caves also had many high-tech weapons not seen in the original game.
For example, skeletons didn't use bows and arrows, but RPGs and mortars.
Zombies no longer primitively bit with their mouths, but wore high-tech alloy heavy armor and sharp claws, becoming all-round warriors.
As for annoying monsters like Creepers,
Jack specifically let one explode once, then permanently disabled its block-destroying ability.
After all, he didn't want to be out and about with his wives, only for a C4 bomb to suddenly rush out and leave a huge pit in the ground with a bang.
...
Beachfront cabin.
Jack, who had been out exploring all morning, returned to his temporary base.
Laffey still maintained the appearance she had when he left, sleeping soundly while hugging her blanket.
"Little Laffey, time to wake up~"
Jack shook the bed.
No reaction.
"If you don't get up, Commander is going to spank your bottom."
This time, Laffey reacted.
"Commander~ Laffey… can't eat anymore~ My tummy is so full, *zzzz*~"
With a roll, Laffey lay spread-eagled on the bed.
Compared to yesterday's flatness, her lower abdomen was now slightly swollen.
Jack poked the soft flesh on her stomach.
"Hmph~"
Laffey immediately made a strange sound.
She didn't really break, did she?
"Laffey… didn't break!"
"Huh? You heard my self-talk?"
Laffey sat up, her eyes still wandering, but she still forced herself to nod.
"Why did you say you didn't break?"
From her tone, there seemed to be some kind of fear within it.
Laffey tugged at Jack's sleeve and said, "If I break… I'll be retired and recycled… then I won't be able to see Commander~"
"That's not what I meant."
Jack hadn't expected Laffey to think so much from just a joke.
Perhaps these Shipgirls were even more "dependent" on him, their Commander, than he had imagined.
"Alright, let's not talk about these serious topics. Laffey, I'm planning to establish a new port area here. As for the site selection… would you like to give some input?"
"Laffey gets to choose? Can I?"
"Of course you can. After all, you're currently my only Shipgirl, so you'll have to be the Secretary Ship."
"Secretary Ship!!"
Laffey immediately became excited.
This position symbolized the Commander's trust.
Only Shipgirls who were truly "favored" could hold it.
In the past, it was mostly Garden (New Jersey), Yorktown, Shinano, Anchorage, and others. It had been a long, long time since Laffey had been a Secretary Ship.
"Then shall we depart now?"
"No rush. You were tired all night last night, and you're still sticky. Go take a bath first."
"Mmm~ Then… Commander, want to come along?"
Laffey began to tempt her Commander again, her big eyes blinking as she looked at Jack.
"Of course! I wouldn't miss the chance to eat little Laffey~"
Jack gave a playful bite, taking Laffey's index finger into his mouth.
"Ah~ Laffey… got eaten~ (monotone)"
...
Two mornings later.
Jack sat by the bed, beginning to ponder.
He had been with Laffey for two full days again…
He had clearly agreed to go out and find the subsequent new port area base after showering.
But when they were being honest with each other, Laffey said she wanted to show off her new'skill'.
What was the difference between this demonstration and lighting a fuse?
One day, it was dawn.
Another day, after a starry night, another dawn.
"Morning~ Commander, today… do you want to play happy things again?"
"Uh… no matter what, spending three consecutive days indulging in that kind of thing is too decadent."
Upon hearing this, Laffey was a bit regretful: "Hmm, then… Laffey will go to sleep~"
"Wait!"
Jack pulled Laffey, who had collapsed back onto the bed, up. "No! We absolutely have to go to the site selection today. Get dressed, let's go!"
Although Jack didn't dislike this kind of life.
But what he was worried about was the situation on the other side.
In the Genshin world, Keqing held a high position and was an adult, so even if she went missing for a month or two, Ningguang in Liyue would cover for her, so no trouble arose.
But Laffey was like a mascot destroyer in the port area.
With the Commander, the backbone of everyone, missing for so long, it wasn't impossible for someone to meta-morph.
Rustle, rustle~
Jack forcibly dressed Laffey, who allowed him to dress her like a doll.
A few minutes later.
Carrying a dazed Laffey, Jack flew into the sky, preparing to visit the spots he had previously seen and genuinely ask for Laffey's opinion.
