"Forget it. There's still the strategy battle to be fought later. I'll save up the resources. Anyway, the second exam has already been completed. There's no need to continue building.”
Batulu looked at Ning Hai, Washington, and Kirov behind him. These were three rare battleships. Then, he remembered that he still had Sister Lion with him. The only Fantasy-class battleship, with a total of four beginner battleships, should be enough to take down Deep Sea Renzhou Base. After all, he wasn't the only one attacking it. There would definitely be others.
In that case, it was a good decision to save some resources for the time being. Building too many of them might cause unnecessary burdens.
After thinking it through, Batulu raised his hand high and shouted at the audience,""Examiner! I won't be building the remaining two major projects, I'll save them for the strategy raid.”
Many people were surprised by this decision. Some of them were relieved, and this group of people was undoubtedly the Fetites. As for the rest, they were expressing their appreciation and approval of Batulu's decision. To be able to "build and then close" and preserve his current strength, he was indeed the material for great things in the future.
Since Batulu had said so, and Li Ling had already completed the construction and just happened to meet the requirements, the old marshal picked up the microphone again and announced,""I hereby announce that candidates number one and two have passed the second round of the exam. Now, you may choose whether to participate in the third round of the exam. If they did not participate, they would be awarded an ordinary graduation certificate and obtain the right to stay in the Basic Guardian's Residence! Those who participated and passed would be awarded an honorary graduation certificate, the rank of lieutenant colonel, and the right to enter the Intermediate Guardian's Residence!”
Batulu's expression did not change much when he heard that he could freely choose to participate in the third exam. He would definitely participate in the strategy battle, but Li Ling was different. She had never come into contact with a deep-sea ship, so she was considering whether to participate in the third exam. If he participated, it would be fine if he won, but if he failed…
Therefore, Li Ling didn't dare to gamble. Unlike Batulu, she was not as determined. She slowly raised her right hand.
"I'm not participating…"
The old marshal glanced at his granddaughter indifferently, not showing any displeasure on his face. He immediately announced,"Alright, Student Li Ling has chosen not to participate. Now, she will be awarded a graduation certificate, the right to enter the elementary Guardian's Residence, as well as an entry-level admiral identity certificate. She will also be awarded the rank of major! Governor Li Yangguang would personally carry out the ceremony!”
"Father!"
When she heard that her father was the one who issued the certificate, Li Ling's face immediately turned pale. She felt that she had embarrassed her father, the Li family, and her grandfather in the audience.
Li Yangguang quickly came to the stage, holding all kinds of certificates, and walked to Li Ling. There was no extra expression on his face, and he looked very cold.
" You disappoint me..." Principal Li threw out such a sentence, then placed the certificate in Li Ling's hand. After shaking hands with his daughter symbolically, he left directly. During this period, he remained silent. The two of them were like strangers and did not talk at all.
"Wuuuu…"
Li Ling held back the tears in her eyes and held the certificate tightly with both hands. She felt especially sad and sad. She was affected by all kinds of negative emotions and suddenly ran out of the arena.
Li Ling ran out of the examination hall like a " loser " under the watchful eyes of many. She was the complete opposite of the certificate in her hand.
"Admiral!"
Ping Hai and his family hurriedly followed him out. It would be bad if something happened to the admiral. She was the future leader of these ship ladies. Nothing could happen to her.
"Principal Li!"
The old marshal suddenly shouted into the microphone. Principal Li looked up and saw the old marshal pointing at the place where Li Ling ran out. Principal Li sighed slightly. He had to solve the problem he had caused himself.
"Ling Er…!"
Principal Li also ran out, followed by a few guards.
"No way, such a melodramatic drama really happened?!”
From the beginning until now, Batulu had thought that he had transmigrated into a TV series and not the world of the ship girl. After all, such a situation was really rare.
"Cough cough cough, that…there was a small episode in the middle, please don't mind it!”The old marshal pulled the topic back and asked Batulu through the microphone,""Batulu, what is your choice?”
Batulu had already decided on this question from the beginning. He replied loudly,"I choose to participate in the third exam!”
The Old Marshal revealed a cold smile, but no one noticed it. He pretended to be very pleased and praised loudly,"Very good! This is what I call Hua…You're an African, so you're worthy of being called a brave tribal hunter. I wish you all the best for your third exam!”
The old marshal seemed to have thought of something and reminded,""In the third round of the exam, you can find external help to assist you. However, it can only be the ship girls in the academy. Moreover, it must be personally agreed to assist. The total number of people including your ship girls cannot exceed six, but it does not include six people.”
"Understood!"
"Alright, go and prepare! Next examinees, get ready!"
Now that he had learned everything he needed to know, it was time for the examinees to " perform." Batulu brought the three warship girls to the real logistics team to collect the remaining resources and prepared equipment.
"Right, I almost forgot about Sister Lion. Everyone, follow me to the resting area. I'm going to pick someone up.”
"Alright, Admiral."
As for Batulu's orders, the ship ladies would not ask much. As the starter ship, they understood this principle even more. As long as they resolutely carried out the orders, it would be fine.
The few of them quickly arrived at the resting area. As soon as they entered, they smelled a particularly obvious fragrance of food, and it seemed that there was quite a lot of food.
"Caw, Big Sister, you can eat too much! I admit defeat!"
"Miehahahaha! This King is this powerful, calm down and feel it!”
Two voices came from the dining area of the resting area. Batulu was unfamiliar with the high-pitched voice, but he was very familiar with the other voice. It was Sister Lion's bold voice. As expected of the king of lions! (King of Foodies)
"Sister Lion!" Batulu immediately found Sister Lion's seat. With his good sense of smell, he could tell where Sister Lion was by sniffing the area with the strongest smell.
"Hey, Big Sister, someone is calling you!”
It turned out that the sharp voice belonged to Bell, and the one accompanying Sister Lion was Essex. This was a ship maiden that had yet to be detected to be mass-produced and was still the beginning. Only she dared to compete with Sister Lion in eating more.
"I know, Admiral! Here!" Sister Lion turned slightly and waved at Batulu, who was standing at the door. It was worth noting that Sister Lion no longer called Batulu by his name. Instead, she called him Admiral.
In fact, Sister Lion wanted to call Batulu's name back, but the problem was that Batulu would be an admiral in the future, even though he hadn't received his certificate yet. As a ship's mother, she had to act like a ship's mother. She had to use the admiral or commander as a form of address instead of calling the admiral by his name.
"I knew this would happen. Sister Lion, you've eaten all the ingredients in the canteen again.”Batulu shook his head and sighed helplessly at this glutton. He didn't react to Sister Lion's change in address, even though she would no longer call him Batulu and would instead call him Admiral. However, his relationship with Sister Lion would not change just because of the way he addressed her. The way he addressed her was just a formality and would not affect their relationship.
"Hey, hey, hey, the food in China is too delicious.”As Sister Lion spoke, she moved on to the next dish. However, she didn't use chopsticks but a fork.
" This is..." Batulu looked at Essex and asked Sister Lion.
Sister Lion wiped her mouth with a napkin and introduced Batulu,""This is Essex, and this bird is Bell. Essex is an aircraft carrier!”
"Caw, Big Sister, I'm an eagle, not a bird!”
"Hello…"
Compared to Bale's loud protest, Essex's voice was a little soft. Even the sound of mosquitoes flying was probably louder than her voice.
"Hey, Essex, I didn't expect to see you here.”At this moment, Washington walked up to Essex and said with a surprised expression.
"You are…"
Essex looked at Washington carefully, then tilted his head slightly and looked at her in confusion.
"Don't you recognize me? I'm Washington. We're both in the US Navy. Don't tell me you don't remember?”The joy on Washington's face faded a lot. She thought Essex would be an Inceptive Warship with memories from her previous life, but Essex's answer clearly extinguished the flames of her anticipation.
"A dog with a human head?" Essex suddenly said a word, a word that Washington never wanted to mention again.
"What human head dog! As the company's frigate, how could I be some human dog!?Who taught you this human head dog!"
Washington suddenly became agitated. At the same time, he rolled up his sleeves and pointed the Sakura Axe at Essex. He asked her who taught her the " human head dog." His anger was obvious.
Essex was so frightened that she raised her hands. Bell, who was at the table, hurriedly answered on her behalf,""Quack, it's Senior South Dakoda. She said Washington is a dog that picks up human heads, so don't have any contact with her! That's what she said…"
Kacha!
At the mention of the name South Dakota, Washington was furious. He swung the Cherry Blossom Axe at the dining table. The axe landed on the dining table, and the blade pierced through the table.
"Damned malignant tumor of the team! How dare you call me a human dog! FXXK.YOU! You damn malignant tumor of the team, why don't I see you talking about yourself! Just you wait, if you dare to come back…"
Washington picked up Cha's axe from the dining table and pointed it at the ceiling.""I dare to chop you up with my axe!!”
"Calm down! Calm down! Washington, calm down!" Batulu quickly told Washington to calm down. This was not their future Guardian's Residence. If they broke something, they could settle it with logistics. If they broke something here, they had to pay for it themselves.
" Phew…" Washington panted and tried to calm himself down. Now that the tumor was gone, it was useless for him to get angry. Everything would be resolved after the tumor came out.
"Admiral!"
"Ah…yes!"
Washington lowered his head slightly and asked Batulu,""Please, you have to build South Dakota in the future, and it has to be an initial starship! I must personally cut that bitch into a human stick!”After saying that, Washington waved his axe again, creating a few gusts of wind.
"Gulp ~"
Batulu took a deep breath. Today, he finally realized how complicated the history of the US Navy was. There were actually contradictions in the war. It was probably the same situation for the navies of other countries.
"Admiral, are you here for the battle?”Sister Lion asked as she chewed on her food.
"Yeah, we still lack two ship girls. Although we can find external help, the problem is who is willing to help us.”
Batulu had only been in the academy for a few days, and he didn't even know many people, let alone some of the more powerful ship girls. The remaining two foreign aid seemed to be very few, but it was harder than ascending to the heavens to make up for them.
" Yeah, this is a headache..." Sister Lion crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair. She searched her memory to see if she knew any ship girls.
Washington and the others were also helpless when it came to foreign aid. They were the initial starship, but the other starship ladies might not be. Even if they were…it was still a problem whether they would help or not.
On the other side of the table, Essex, who was ignored by everyone, looked at Batulu and the others, then whispered something to Bale.
"Caw, Master, have you really decided?”Bale asked cautiously.
Essex nodded lightly. She did not regret her decision. Perhaps it could change her personality.
"Caw, everyone, my master is willing to join you!”
Bale flew into the air and said with his sharp eagle cry.
" What?!"
No one had expected that this girl who had been " silent " would actually propose to be their external aid. This was a situation that they had not expected at all.
"Have you really decided?" Batulu asked.
"Yes…"
Essex nodded again. This was her decision.
"Thank you for being willing to be our external aid!”
Essex shook his head for some reason, which confused Batulu. Didn't he agree to it before? Why did he 'go back on his word' now?
Bale saw this and flew to Batulu, explaining for Essex,""My master's intention is to join the Admiral's Guardian's Residence and not be a foreign aid!”
"Really?"
Batulu was inexplicably excited. Who didn't want to have a carrier? Although the consumption was high, it could also prevent him from being passive in aerial combat. Moreover, he had also seen from the information that the Deep Sea Renzhou Base had the existence of a light mother. If they could have the support of Essex's aircraft carrier, then it would not be a problem to fight against a light mother.
"Hahahaha! Don't worry, little sister. Big sister will take good care of you! Annihilation, hahahaha!"
Sister Lion excitedly put her arm around Essex's shoulder and laughed loudly. She was not only happy that Essex had joined the team, but also glad that she had the ability to recognize people and didn't make the wrong person.
Pa pa!
"Welcome!"
Washington took the lead in applauding Essex's participation, while Batulu and Sister Lion also applauded. Although the applause was neither loud nor small, it was a wave of applause in the dining area.
After clapping, Batulu had to deal with the last foreign aid. As for this last foreign aid, Sister Lion had already made up her mind.
" Just you wait. I'm going to look for someone. Although I don't really want to see her…"
