"...No, it's having a bad temper." "Cuckoo!" "...It said, 'I'm not throwing a tantrum, you're just fickle.'" Perseus dutifully acted as a translator. Su Xin had no idea what was going on after hearing these few words, but she was somewhat concerned about the object in the other person's hand, so she simply asked her, "What is that?" "...remote control." Perseus raised his hand and released a plane the size of two palms. He pressed some button, but the small plane swayed and took off into the air. Gugu was so angry when he saw this that he immediately flapped his wings and took off on the spot, chasing the remote-controlled plane. However, no matter how fast he accelerated, he could not hit his "new love". Su Xin found it very interesting and sighed silently, "They are having a great time." "Goo!" Hearing this, Perseus pursed his lips and smiled faintly, then slowly began to explain, "It said...'How annoying! I want to lose weight.'"
Chapter 641 The Unchanging Truth The small plane is a toy that Yubari gave to Perseus. It has no practical function, or rather... it could have a function, but Perseus didn't let her install it. I originally planned to use this to accompany Gugu to exercise, otherwise, given the owl's habit of not waking up during the day and not sleeping at night, he would definitely gain a lot of weight. Perseus's face is already fleshy and a bit baby fat. If Gugu gets bigger and rounder, wouldn't she, as the owner, be confirmed as a round-faced fat chicken? So Perseus wanted to supervise the movement of Cuckoo, but it was tired of watching its own carrier-based aircraft, and even when it was released, Cuckoo still looked listless. After much thought, she felt that finding a "friend" for the other party would be a better option, so this little plane came into being. The little plane looks quite round. I don't know how Yubari made it fly, but it's fine as long as it flies fast enough. Perseus originally thought that Gugu would be able to follow the remote-controlled plane and turn around for a few circles in a friendly manner, but as soon as she took it out, it immediately attracted hatred. Of course, it's impossible for him to get bored with the old and love the new, but this is a good opportunity to get Gugu moving, so Perseus didn't explain and went out to play with remote-controlled airplanes every few days. It just so happened that the port area was being expanded, and there were not many buildings near the back mountain. The area was large and not crowded, so it would not disturb the rest of the other ship girls. The workers working on the construction site all started wearing helmets. They were never alone and even took breaks together on time. Perseus silently sighed at the cohesion of the port area while controlling the plane to seduce Gugu to fly around in the sky However, today's exercise was just halfway done when Gugu suddenly abandoned his target and turned and ran away. Perseus went to look for him leisurely and realized that he had found a supporter. "Coo-coo-coo-coo-coo!" Su Xin looked at the owl that had jumped back into her arms. The salty seawater splashed all over her. She didn't understand a word of the owl's seemingly resentful speech. Perseus, who was watching just now, would help translate a few words, but now he simply stopped talking, leaving her at a loss as to what to do. "Uh...Sister Perseus, what is Coo-coo saying?" Commander Su asked with gritted teeth. Perseus has chubby, pink cheeks, but his expression is rather wooden and he looks a bit fierce. In fact, he is not very good at talking. She controlled the small plane to fall back into her hand, then pursed her lips and said, "...it's complaining."
"Well...but I think Gugu doesn't seem to be that fat, right?" Su Xin pinched the bird's body that was emitting high temperature in her arms, "Does it really need to lose weight?" Gugu seemed to have gained confidence. He immediately pulled his head out of his coat and protested with confidence, as if he was crying about his miserable life. Unfortunately, Commander Su still couldn't understand him. Perseus shook his head, not wanting to say anything more, and just waved at Gugu, "...at least hold on for 40 days, right?" Unfortunately, Gugu was firm in his stance and refused to comply. Su Xin always felt that the limit of [40 days] was a little subtle, but she couldn't tell exactly what was strange about it. Moreover, Gugu is not an ordinary owl. As a companion creature, it eats according to its mood. Does such a creature really need to lose weight? Commander Su was really curious, so he asked directly: "Hmm... will Gugu also get fat? I thought she would not change like KanColle." Perseus was a little nervous when he heard this. He took out a small mirror and looked at himself, then raised his hand and pinched his soft cheeks. "...Is that right?" Su Xin wondered, "Really? Hmm... Could it be that Sister Perseus's recent weight...?" Before he could finish his words, the Gugu in his arms and the light aircraft carrier opposite him suddenly stared at him with eyes wide open. The look was so sharp and the pressure was so strong that the young commander swallowed his words silently. "...I didn't say anything." Perseus realized that he had lost his composure, and tried to calm down, but there was still a hint of sadness between his eyebrows, as if he was really worried about this problem. Su Xin was really surprised, she had never heard that a ship girl could gain weight. A child like Eldridge who eats cakes and cookies every day doesn't lose much weight. She tried it last time and was still able to lift it. Chang Dao stays at home every day, eating snacks and playing video games. He accepts all kinds of cola and potato chips. He eats anything that is high in calories, and I have never heard of him gaining weight. Not to mention Lafei and E'du, who would rather lie down than stand. Due to their extreme lack of exercise, there was no change on their bodies. Su Xin couldn't say what kind of vicious situation it was, but at least Lafite was definitely not that vicious, after all, she often held him when he slept at night, and there was no sign of him growing a "baby belly". "Sister Perseus..." Commander Su asked her hesitantly, "Could it be that Ming Miao...sold you weight loss products?" "...No, I just heard that she...has not consumed all the fat she accumulated during the winter, but has accumulated more and more, so I..." "Heard? Who told you that?" Perseus thought for a moment and told the truth, "Boss Ming, all the scales we brought in were bought by Kewei..." Su Xin heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this. "Oh, she must be trying to sell you a scale. Don't worry too much. Sister Wei won't take it that seriously..." "..." Su Xin was silent for a moment, then she changed her words with a guilty conscience, "I...I'll go and ask for you." Perseus couldn't hold it anymore, his wooden expression was broken by the slight movement of his mouth, everyone could see the aggrieved look in his eyes. She raised her hands and rubbed her cheeks on both sides. They were soft and tender, and their fingers sank into them when they were poked. Her mouth pouted, and she looked like she was being cute. Su Xin laughed and stepped forward to put Gugu back into Perseus' arms, "Okay, sister is not fat, and her face is also very cute. You don't have to worry about it all the time."
"......Really?" "Well! It's better to say that your figure is better than many people." Commander Su curled his lips, "Better than [me]..." Perseus was much happier after hearing this. He nodded and shook his head, and consoled him: "Commander... just like the lizard that can only grow bigger, it will definitely grow bigger..." Su Xin pondered for a while and finally understood, "...I am Godzilla?" "Hmm? It's... pretty cool." All right, just think of it as Perseus praising her. Su Xin didn't care too much. After rescuing Gugu from the weight loss hell, she turned around to find the Purifier. After all, the question of [Will the Ship Girls get fat?], compared to asking the Ship Girls at home about their subjective feelings, the conclusion given by the Purifier is obviously more credible. Commander Su Xiao walked back to the dormitory from the back mountain, knocked on the door of the Purifier's room, entered the room, and raised the question exactly as it was. "Purifier, will the ship girl gain weight?" "Huh? Why do you ask this question suddenly?" The Purifier held a lollipop in his mouth and turned his eyes away from the screen. "Isn't it obvious? Of course it will." "......ah?! Chapter 642 You just said XXX, right? "You said that KanColle can also get fat? Why? Isn't it said that the body will always be in the best condition?" The Purifier had a look on his face that said this child is beyond teaching. He pulled Su Xin to sit on the sofa, crushed the lollipop in a few bites and swallowed it whole, then started a new round of science popularization. "Let me ask you, what is a Kanmusu?" "...Sea elves? Warriors who defend against the Sirens? Heroes who protect the land?" Su Xin gave a few official answers, but the Purifier rolled her eyes at her. "They don't understand what's going on, and you're still using that excuse?" "If I really am a warrior to resist the Sirens, how can I live peacefully in your port? Those people in your family will definitely be the first to speak out against it." Su Xin thought so too, and pondered for a while, "A creature that inherited the name of the ship?" "Biological organisms... that's true." The Purifier paused and made a change, "But, they are not quite the same as normal organisms." "You see, their birth comes from the [Mind Cube], and the [Mind Cube] is different from the fetus and egg. It is essentially just a slightly special energy supply substance." "In other worlds, [Cubes] are not rare objects. With a little processing, they can provide energy for vehicles, ships, and even larger objects." "The reason why the [Mind Cube] is special is that it plays a special role in providing energy to the [Ship Girl]." The Purifier paused after he finished speaking, glanced at Su Xin who was concentrating, and was very satisfied. He immediately pretended to be a teacher and asked the student, "What is the functional substance of the ship girl?" "The ship uses oil?" Commander Su answered obediently. "That's right, their energy source is oil." The Purifier gave Su a lollipop and continued, "And the [Mind Cube] is to maintain the connection between the [name] and the [body]." "It is the bridge in the middle, connecting [historical ships] and [forms of existence], allowing ship girls to exist in the world in different human forms." Su Xin had never heard of this theory, so it took her a while to digest it.
When she was playing the game, she didn't really think about the reason. Why can a ship girl appear by throwing a [Mind Cube] into a machine, adding materials and building it? Why does it take two Mind Cubes to build a large warship or a special ship, but only one is enough for a small ship? Games are just games after all. As a player, Su Xin doesn't delve into the principles behind them. They are just the settings given by the company's project team, so she doesn't care too much. Now that she has been born into the gaming world for more than ten years, she seems to have never changed this concept. She has not explored the specific settings and just ended up having a large family of ship girls in a confused manner. "...So, the [Mind Cube] provides... um... a 'shell' that allows the [name] to be placed inside and become a specific person?" "Although there is a slight deviation, your idea is generally correct." The Purifier raised his hand and patted Commander Su Xiao on the shoulder, as if to praise him. But Su Xin still had a lot of things she didn't understand, so she just asked all at once, "What about the research ships? I remember that many of them don't have names, right?" "Well... we guess that the [Mind Cube] can be connected to the [Name], but some ships don't have names, only design drafts, or even no design drafts, only a concept." "In this case, the Mind Cube can only hold their existence, while their names and specific physical data will need to be provided by others after repeated trial and error." Su Xin didn't quite understand what she heard, because in the game, the general perception among players is that [the scientific research ship is a joint project with the neighboring "World of Warships"]. On this side, if you need to develop scientific research ships, it seems that you have to first guess which scientific research ships can be connected by the [Mind Cube]. After guessing correctly, you have to restore those ships that cannot be released based on the era background, faction style, design preferences, etc., and finally you can successfully obtain the scientific research ship. "So... the Anchorage, whose information I can't find, is also a research ship?" Su Xin remembered the "big jar" that Anchorage had mentioned. This way of birth, which was different from the construction device, seemed to confirm her guess from the side. The Purifier seemed to be in a good mood today. Seeing Commander Su buried in his own thoughts, she didn't act too polite. She lay on the sofa, raised her feet and put her legs in his arms. Su Xin was interrupted halfway through her thought, and the guess that had just popped up in her mind disappeared in an instant. She had no choice but to tap the Purifier's calf, sighed, and asked her "good teacher" again. "Then...how many research ships are there?" "Hmm... there are 22 ships at the moment, right? There should be quite a few more, but exhaustive enumeration takes time, and I don't know exactly how long it will take for the next new research ship to appear." Su Xin thought for a moment and asked her again: "Then do you know Anchorage?" "Hmm? I know. It's a heavy cruiser for scientific research." The Purifier stuffed the pink and white feet into Su Xin's arms again, sighed and continued: "Obviously he is just a child, but his physical development is unexpectedly advanced." "...Is it very strong?" "Ah... If being able to survive is considered strong, then she is indeed good at this aspect, but her mind... is a problem, and she can't be used in many worlds." Su Xin hesitated for a moment, then decided to ask all the questions at once, "What about the ship girls of Ember? How many are there?" "How should I know..." The Purifier said angrily, "They are just a bunch of people who like to make trouble, especially that [Enterprise]!" "Do you have a festival?" "Not only that! They are always running around, a bunch of idiots with mental problems, ruining our plans all day long. I can't even count how many plans they have ruined!"
"What about the Sirens? Are there a lot of them?" The Purifier glanced at her, somewhat puzzled. "We have a lot of people in our organization, and we can mass-produce them quickly. Any executor is enough to give you a hard time." Su Xin knew that he was unwilling to reveal more, so she changed the subject and went back to the beginning, "So why is the ship girl fat?" "Ah? Haven't you figured it out yet?" The Purifier stood up and poked Commander Su Xiao's forehead, "I've already said that the Ship Girl's [Existence Form] is affected by it." "So...if you drink too much oil, the Mind Cube will get bigger?" Su Xin still didn't understand.
