In the imagination of many Commanders, Glorious was the most suitable candidate to be a Secretary Ship.
She was gentle and considerate, always like a warm older sister, cleaning up the messes for those new Commanders.
She would also smile and pat your head, full of motherly radiance, and say with doting tenderness, “Commander, you’re just like a child.”
When you were slacking off at work and secretly looking at her, she would smile and ask, “Commander, you keep secretly looking at me. Am I that pretty?”
When you were tired, she would gently place your head on her lap, allowing you to experience the wonderful comfort of a lap pillow for a whole afternoon… However, the end of all these beautiful fantasies came when my port truly welcomed Glorious.
And after I was deceived by her gentle and kind appearance and allowed her to successfully obtain the position of Secretary Ship, I originally thought it would be the beginning of everything wonderful, only to later realize how terribly wrong I was.
It was the beginning of me completely losing myself, and my port completely slipping from my control…
Wang Yu took a small sip of black tea, then put down the teacup and picked up a dessert, putting it into his mouth.
The black tea wasn't entirely to his taste. He rarely drank tea, and even when he did, it was usually light green tea. The black tea was too sweet and lacked the subtle charm of green tea.
Compared to black tea and dessert, things like fried chicken and soda were more to his liking.
However, this was his Secretary Ship's thoughtful gesture, and it would clearly be impolite to disappoint her. The dessert, though, tasted good. Royal cuisine wasn't entirely without merit; at least the desserts were well made.
With a Secretary Ship, a Commander's treatment certainly changed. After all, Ship Girls would care for their Commanders.
He had thought Glorious was a pampered lady. Although she had served as a Secretary Ship for several years in the game, she would certainly be good at some Secretary Ship duties. But he hadn't expected her to be such a good cook.
However, since most Ship Girls made chocolates for their Commander on Valentine's Day in the game, it wasn't surprising that Glorious had a skill in making desserts.
Feeling his life seemed to be growing increasingly languid, Wang Yu couldn't help but sigh deeply, reminding himself, “Wang Yu, Wang Yu, you are the man destined to become the strongest Commander in Azure Lane. How can you be so depraved? Immersed in the Secretary Ship's tenderness, unable to extricate yourself.”
After a thorough self-reflection on his decadent behavior, Wang Yu reopened the Commander panel, preparing to continue reading the post titled “Domineering Glorious Controls Me” on the forum. After all, it was a hot post with so many likes, perfect for him to learn some forum-posting techniques.
After all, through his forum studies these past few days, he discovered that Commander experience could actually be increased by posting, which was simply outrageous.
These past few days, he had been researching this so-called Commander System and had read many so-called must-read posts for beginners. It had given him a better understanding of the Commander's world.
Unfortunately, as a new Commander without a port, he had no permission to post. Otherwise, he could have posted some long serialized threads, like “My Years in the Port,” to gain Commander experience.
With a creak, the door was pushed open.
A girl in a white dress, with a radiant smile, pushed open the door and entered the room.
“Commander, how is the dessert? Is it to your liking?” The girl walked to Wang Yu’s side, bent down slightly, and, pulling out a handkerchief from somewhere, gently wiped Wang Yu’s lips.
“Looking at Commander, it seems you are very satisfied with the dessert. However, as a Commander, even if the dessert tastes delicious, you must always maintain your image.”
After wiping the food residue from Wang Yu’s lips, Glorious lightly propped herself on the table with one hand, somewhat laboriously straightening her back.
“Phew.”
Glorious let out a soft sigh. Her strenuous appearance made Wang Yu’s heart tremble.
Alright, I know you’re prone to losing balance, but can you please stop swaying? I’m getting a bit dizzy now.
I understand all these principles, but if you keep this up, you’ll easily turn the Commander into a good-for-nothing!
Wang Yu silently lamented in his heart. He felt even more strongly that there were all sorts of people online, and the advice of netizens was unreliable. They actually wanted to trick him into leaving the Glorious cult; their intentions were truly malicious.
Who else but Glorious should hold the position of Chief Secretary Ship of the port? If not Glorious, should it be given to someone else?
Seeing Wang Yu seemed a bit dazed,
Glorious reached out and gently tapped Wang Yu’s head: “Has Commander been in that Commander Network? What have you gained?”
Wang Yu calmly liked and favorited the post in his mind, preparing to study it in detail later, then, without changing his expression, closed the current post and exited the Commander System.
“Hmm, I gained a lot. Many experienced Commanders are sharing their experiences of becoming Commanders there. Everyone there is talented and speaks well; I really like it there.”
Glorious didn't doubt him.
She nodded gently and said, “The world here is quite different from ours. Commander should indeed spend time communicating with other Commanders. Oh, Commander. I just discussed the new port construction with Shangri-La. I think we need to establish our own port as soon as possible. Time is very important to us, so rather than building a brand-new port, I prefer us to use those renovated old ports. With renovation, those ports are actually no different from brand-new ones, and their geographical locations are relatively better…”
After speaking, Glorious looked at Wang Yu with a bit of worry, as if afraid that Wang Yu might not accept such a result.
Wang Yu instantly understood Glorious’s meaning. Compared to applying for a brand-new port, which would be time-consuming and labor-intensive, simply finding a new, suitable location for a port was not easy. Moreover, the larger the port, the more facilities it would require.
Even if this world, due to the existence of Ship Girls and Manjuu, had an advantage in labor over his previous world,
He knew that a port was almost equivalent to a miniature city. Such a massive engineering project could not be completed overnight. If he started applying now, even if everything went smoothly, and no matter how advanced the construction level of this world, he would most likely have to wait several years for a new port.
How could I possibly wait that long!
However, using old ports for renovation eliminated such concerns.
Simple port refurbishment would be enough to successfully complete the port's renovation. And since the port locations were already selected, their geographical positions would certainly not be too bad. The only issue was whether a Commander could accept their port coming from someone else.
After all, some Commanders were very particular about their port not being newly built by themselves.
It was precisely because of this that Glorious seemed very hesitant, afraid that Wang Yu might not accept it.
