Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

"Are you so resistant to becoming a commander?"

Sure enough, I still have to say this.

Yang Sikang felt a little helpless.

More than two months later, only Cleveland is still asking this question, and it's not like the world wouldn't turn around without him.

Others only asked him two or three times because of his relatively high affinity with the Rubik's Cube, and then gave up.

He didn't know why Cleveland was so insistent on making him the commander, but he still wasn't going to deal with the man who rescued him from the sea.

But before he could answer, Cleveland said again:

"I don't know what the consequences will be if this matter is not handled well. Just treat it as a secret between the two of us. I hope you can tell me the truest answer in your heart."

Cleveland looked into Yang Sikang's eyes, she was very serious.

Yang Sikang also calmed down his expression, looked at the distant coastline, and pondered.

Why don't you want to be a commander?

He asked himself this question in his mind.

He has already traveled through time once and experienced a life of great changes but little happiness. Maybe it's because you want to escape from the battle and those uncertain factors?

Maybe not, even after decades of that, he still retains enough tenderness in his heart.

When he first came to this world, he still wanted to do something. To say it was to escape seemed a bit unreasonable.

In terms of understanding, even though he only knew it from the game in his previous life, he was indeed not completely ignorant.

He can't be said to be at the level of a prophet, but at least he knows a lot more than people in this world.

From this point of view, he has a great advantage as a commander, and it seems that he will not be able to mess up anything.

Besides, the commanders in this world are not as busy as the ones at the Beta Test Site. Generally speaking, the majority are leisurely.

So why has he always refused to be a commander?

Yang Sikang himself was a little confused for a while.

But his silence was misunderstood by Cleveland as unwillingness to lie. With a sigh, Cleveland said

"Every year, or even every month, there are countless people who want to become commanders. The vast majority of them don't even have an affinity for the Mind Cube, and their reasons for wanting to become commanders are all kinds of strange."

"Even among those who are already commanders, there are still many who became commanders because of the ship girl's power or status improvement, and there are even some who came here purely for the ship girl. "

Cleveland smiled to himself, sighed helplessly and continued.

"We ship girls are all born from the Mind Cube. We will not age or get sick easily. Even if we are injured, we can recover with the Mind Cube in our bodies.

Those people say that we are more beautiful and elegant than ordinary human women, so they want to become commanders out of pure desire. "

"Honestly, I think it's terrible, especially when someone like that comes up to talk to you, you can see what's going on in his mind from a distance. I really want to be punched in the face."

Cleveland looked at Yang Sikang, hesitated and said

"Actually, I have my own selfish reasons for wanting you to become the commander. As the person I finally rescued, I don't want you to be taken away by the Navy and used as a guinea pig.

But unless you become the commander, there is no way I can convince others to protect you. "

"I don't know why you appeared in that place, floating in dangerous waters and still unscathed.

But I know that since I rescued you, this must be due to a certain amount of fate.

I can't do anything like watching the people I rescued fall into the abyss. "

Yang Sikang looked at Cleveland blankly, remembering why he refused to become the commander.

Before Cleveland could continue, he spoke abruptly:

"What about responsibility?"

Yes, responsibility.

If it's a game, then of course it doesn't matter what the responsibilities are. What players want is happiness and relaxation.

This is the meaning of the game, so there is no need to consider so many things in the game. Relax after work, and it will naturally follow your preferences.

But if the game becomes a reality, it will be different.

Becoming a commander means more than just being able to build loyal ship girls, surrounded by all kinds of beauties.

The ship girls are also living individuals, and the sirens the commander has to fight are also real enemies.

It's natural to lose one's heart when playing with things, but if you don't have the corresponding strength when facing danger, the consequences you will face are not what the game will have.

In the game, ships don't sink and disappear, but that's not the case in reality.

Cleveland was stunned. She looked at Yang Sikang and couldn't believe what the man just said.

He said, responsibility?

Who talks about responsibility to the ship girl?

Only a small part of the people who want to become commanders come here for the purpose of fighting against the Sirens, and the vast majority of the rest have various reasons.

Most of them even hold the idea of ​​turning the ship girls they built into wives and establishing a harem.

It's just that after the ship girl is built, she will not leave her commander voluntarily unless she is extremely disappointed, so no one scolds her for this idea.

After all, we are going to fight against the sirens.

But when it comes to responsibility, how can there be any such thing as responsibility?

Yang Sikang looked at Cleveland and said seriously

"Whether it is from an emotional or physical perspective, the ship girl is actually not much different from a human being before she unfolds her ship suit, right? But the ship girl was not born by herself, but was taken from the mind cube by the commander. wake."

"Then, as the commander who awakened the ship girl, shouldn't I be responsible for the ship girl I built? I don't think I have the ability and tolerance to take on the freedom and lives of others, and I have... in the world before me... I have witnessed my companions die in front of me too many times. I...can't be a commander."

Yang Sikang shook his head and gave his answer very sincerely.

But this time, Cleveland didn't stop there.

She looked at Yang Sikang and asked her question

"But you haven't tried it, how do you know you can't do it?"

Cleveland looked at Yang Sikang seriously. She was now very sure that her judgment was not wrong.

"Although I don't know what you have experienced before, how can you know the result if you haven't tried it? And since you have come to this world and happened to come to our camp, maybe everything is God's will, isn't it? "

Yang Sikang was stunned for a moment and saw Cleveland unfolding her ship suit and taking out a transparent box from inside.

Inside the box are fixed mental cubes, eight in total, divided into two rows and placed neatly inside.

"Give it a try. If you really can't become a commander, it's just a waste of a few Rubik's cubes, right?"

Yang Sikang looked away from the Rubik's Cube, looked into Cleveland's eyes, and asked:

"Is this what you mean or what you mean?"

"It's my decision."

Cleveland replied:

"These Rubik's cubes are my personal belongings. Just think of them as an attempt to make me give up. Give it a try?"

Yang Sikang let out a long sigh.

The Mental Cube is also a very precious resource for ship girls. Although it is only eight Rubik's Cubes, it is still a lot of money for Cleveland.

Different from the situation in the game, the ship girls in this world are not unique, and the number of commanders is also very large.

The huge quantity brings even greater consumption. Simply put, the mental cube in this world is in a state of scarcity.

And this is one of the basic reasons why the relationship between the Navy and the ship girls is very poor. The ship girls need the Mind Cube and more potential commanders to build powerful ship girls.

But the Navy also wants the Mind Cube and wants to use it for basic research.

However, this precious resource was simply not enough for the two sides to divide it up. In order to ensure that existing interests would not go backwards and that humans would not lose the ability to resist the sirens, the Mental Cube was all assigned to the ship girls.

When building a new commander for the first time, the standard configuration is just two Rubik's cubes.

"Would you give up if I failed to build it?"

"Yes."

Cleveland replied calmly:

"As long as you can't build a ship girl, I won't persuade you anymore. Moreover, I will also help you solve the trouble you got into this time. How about it? It's a good deal, right?"

Cleveland pushed the box forward a little more. Yang Sikang hesitated for a moment and took the heavy box.

"it is good."

So, Cleveland took Yang Sikang directly to the production room.

In order to improve the success rate, the construction process is all completed in the construction room, and construction machines will be used.

Although I don't know if this method is really effective, but looking at the commanders who come in and out of the construction room, all dressed in strange clothes, trying to build with metaphysics, you know that at least you would rather believe it or not.

Yang Sikang, who seemed reluctant, became an anomaly in such a big environment. When he entered the construction room, at least half of the people in the construction room, which was almost the size of three football fields, looked at him. .

Cleveland's reputation here is obviously very good, and the people she brought in person are obviously more eye-catching.

Probably because the matter between Cleveland and him was not a secret, Yang Sikang heard some people discussing in low voices whether he had quietly deceived Cleveland.

But he was really not interested in it, and even felt very uneasy.

As he told Cleveland, he didn't see himself as a commander.

The construction process is very simple and can even be simplified to just three steps: put the Rubik's Cube into the construction machine, start the machine, and wait for the construction results.

The construction machine was very large. Yang Sikang took a few glances and roughly guessed the purpose of the construction machine.

Starting the machine requires the commander to press his hand on the machine throughout the process, which probably amplifies the 'communication' process between the commander and the mental cube.
