Azur Lane Under the Stars

"I suspect this guy got scammed and bought a fake."

"..."

After receiving the supplies, the first contestant did not choose to build immediately. Instead, he ran up to Queen Elizabeth and asked, "Your Excellency, why isn't it three shots per person?"

"Huh? Why three shots?" Her Majesty the Queen asked, somewhat bewildered.

"Three shots a day is a miracle!" the player said earnestly.

"Have you ever heard another saying? What's meant to be yours will be yours, and what's not meant to be yours, you won't get even if you try a hundred times. Go back to building," Germany said irritably.

I've already let you get it for free, why are you making such a fuss?

Everyone was eagerly anticipating this first person to try something new, hoping for a successful start.

"My turn! Build!" the man shouted, and began his construction.

Everyone craned their necks in anticipation, and I watched with great expectation...

The billowing white smoke made the construction machine look like it was taking a breath out of its mouth and then exhaling it suddenly.

In short, the commotion was enormous.

"Sold out! Great! I've sold out!" the guy shouted.

"Really? They've already shipped it?" The commanders below the stage whispered among themselves.

“Wake up. It’s dark, but it’s not time for you to dream. Didn’t you see there’s no time display on it?” Deutsche said without hesitation.

"I don't care, I just got shipped! I just... got shipped... Waaaaah..."

That guy suddenly burst into tears.

"No, why are you crying, you grown man? Why are you so heartbroken that you didn't get the chance to get something for free?" Although Germany liked to watch the fun, this was the first time he had ever seen someone cry so bitterly because they didn't get anything for free.

"I'm sorry, Director. Our commander has caused you trouble. It's mainly because our commander suffered a setback in construction a while ago. Perhaps it triggered some memories of the past."

A petite and adorable ship girl walked onto the stage and expressionlessly pulled her commander off.

As the commander was being dragged away, he kept muttering, "It's fake," "I got the goods," and "Waaah, it's not real."

This man's fierce reaction cast a shadow over the commanders behind him.

One of the commanders behind kept muttering things like "Get the goods, get the goods" and "At least get something special, anything will do."

Whether it's because sincerity brings results, or because words become law, something actually did happen.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, he pulled two basic pieces of equipment out of the construction machine: a main gun and a torpedo...

Holding the two white pieces of equipment, the man was on the verge of tears, suspecting that the construction machine was insulting him.

After several commanders failed to deliver their goods, a young commander took a deep breath, took his girlfriend's hand, and pressed the start construction button.

Then he shouted, "Use our Portland as the relic! Ship it!"

“This is another player who builds using mystical methods…” George kept pointing fingers, “Let me tell you, all this fancy stuff is useless. If he can actually produce anything, I’ll eat this whole table right now.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a purple light shone throughout the entire venue.

Everyone looked at George, seemingly asking when they would be having dinner.

George stubbornly retorted, "Even if there's purple light, what if it's equipment instead of a ship girl? If it doesn't produce a ship girl, it doesn't count as a successful delivery!"

The commander gleefully used the quick completion tool, and another puff of white smoke billowed out. Then, a small, brown figure emerged from the builder, looked at the man before him, and asked:

“Indianapolis, here at your command… Please take care of me, Commander.”

Everyone looked at George, who looked constipated, once again.

Chapter 514 Avant-garde

"Haha, thank goodness."

Cheer up! There's a treat for us tonight!

How did you know I was besides Indy?

That guy who has currently built a purple rarity ship girl is in high spirits, greeting everyone he meets with a wide grin that almost reaches his ears.

Seeing his smug look, a group of commanders who hadn't gotten their goods silently took out their poisoned spears and started sharpening them.

For a moment, the entire venue was filled with the sounds of sharpening spears and construction.

Yes, most of the cries were of despair from those who hadn't received their goods.

"Ah, it's so delightful! Seeing how much they enjoy it is just so heartwarming." Deutsche cupped her face, her cheeks flushed.

Queen Elizabeth looked at her with disgust: "When did you become so perverted?"

"This is called pleasure, a higher level of happiness, you wouldn't understand," the German said dismissively.

“It’s my turn. I’m going first, bro.” George gave Ren Shuo a thumbs up.

"Keep it up, get the goods shipped!" Ren Shuo encouraged.

Seeing George standing alone in front of the construction machine, some people couldn't help but ask, "Hey buddy, how about your ship girls give you a blessing?"

Seeing that the person who got the goods, the other commanders followed suit and asked their ship girls to bless them, which is a bit of a mystery.

It would have been better if this hadn't been mentioned, because once it was, George's face turned serious: "The ship girl who came with me this time is Yamashiro..."

"...Then let's forget about it."

The good fortune of this mountain city is something those who know it understand.

"I'm the luckiest person ever!" George said confidently.

He buffed himself! He said, "Now I can go for it!"

George typed "gg".

White smoke billowed out, and the display screen showed no numbers. It had sunk.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! My luck is unparalleled! How could I not receive the goods!" George went crazy too.

"Make way, make way, don't embarrass yourself, George, it's my turn." William kicked George off the stage.

"You're behind me?" George exclaimed in surprise.

William, still shrouded in smoke, said, "You didn't ask me... Alright, the auspicious time has arrived! Everyone disperse!"

"Another commander who believes in metaphysics... Usually, commanders like this are unlucky." Deutsche commented.

Sure enough, after a scream and the sound of something hitting the ground, William's ship girl went up on stage and carried her commander off the stage in a humiliating manner.

I was completely stunned.

Ren Shuo was completely bewildered. Was it really necessary to go to such lengths? So what if he got something for free and didn't get any goods?

It has to be said that this is the mindset of the big spenders. They have enough ship girls of their own, so they enjoy the process of building them, not the result. But for the commanders of these small-scale ship owners, what they enjoy is not the process, but the joy of getting the ship girls.

A few more people were about to arrive at Ren Shuo's place, and Ren Shuo waited quietly.

However, the commanders ahead of him all died without a single piece of equipment.

Ren Shuo silently cheered himself up. Hmm, no problem, it should be fine. Someone has already helped him with the number of construction attempts, what if there's a safety net?

Standing in front of the construction machine, after putting in the Wisdom Cube and supplies, he was about to press the start construction button, but then he thought about it and felt that something was missing, so he turned around and waved to Hu Teng.

Although Hu Teng found it strange, he still stood up.

Ren Shuo hugged Hu Teng and then whispered, "Let me borrow your luck."

Hu Teng was both amused and exasperated: "Commander, you believe in these things too?"

"There's no harm in trusting them," Ren Shuo laughed.

The commanders below the stage also began to whisper among themselves.

"That's a battleship with a colored rarity, Hutten?"

"This stroke of luck is incredible."

"I don't believe in luck. It doesn't exist. It's not like I'm some kind of lucky ship girl or a big E-class ship girl."

Amidst these discussions, Ren Shuo pressed the build button. The next second, a powerful aura filled the entire venue, and colorful light blinded everyone present.

"It's really out?" Ren Shuo was also dumbfounded, then overjoyed, and even hugged Hu Teng next to him and kissed her cold and beautiful face.

"As expected of you, Hu Teng! I've got the goods!"

Although the other construction port of the Mind Cube hasn't shown any movement, probably because it hasn't been shipped, this colorful light means it's a huge win.

"Commander, complete the tool quickly."

Hu Teng's pretty face flushed slightly. Although she was very shy about being kissed in public, she felt a little bit of secret joy.

Seeing Ren Shuo's ecstatic expression, Hu Teng still offered a reminder.

"Oh, right, right." Ren Shuo realized and quickly used the quick completion tool.

Another plume of thick smoke billowed out, making Ren Shuo anticipate what was to come, but also prompting him to think of all sorts of random things.

The ventilation here is really good; all that steam is gone in one go.

While Ren Shuo and Hu Teng were busy, the audience seemed to have been put on pause, with all sorts of expressions on their faces, making it quite comical.

The release of steam seemed to breathe new life into this still scene.

"Fake! Impossible! Colored! How could it be colored!"

"Hmph, it's just equipment, right? It must be equipment!"

"But, the colorful equipment... I burst into tears! Our port only has one piece of gold equipment! And it was bought by spending all our savings."

"We can't be friends for at least the next couple of days..." William and George looked weary, selectively removing Ren Shuo from their WeChat Moments for the time being...

These are enemies; this is a class struggle between unlucky people and lucky people.

The look in someone's eyes when they want to kill them is impossible to hide.

"As expected of a senior... Hehe, congratulations." Alice smiled insincerely, and even took out a spear, making Sheffield hesitate to speak.

Queen Elizabeth was also quite surprised: "This kid's luck is good... but I didn't expect it to be this good? Do they think colored ship girls are free?"

Although the fog hadn't dissipated, Queen Elizabeth could already sense the presence inside; it was definitely a ship girl.

Queen Elizabeth glanced at the German leader, who remained silent, and was startled by what she saw: "What's wrong with you? What's that expression?"

"It's nothing... I just feel a little uncomfortable..." Germany said, indicating that it was used to it.

Every time she watched someone else build something, she had this feeling: if the guy failed, she was happy and extremely pleased; if the guy made a profit... she felt worse than if she had lost money herself.

Perhaps this is due to some psychological factor at play for those who enjoy themselves.

"Hmm... what kind of ship girl do you think it might be?"

Queen Elizabeth was very much looking forward to it. You see, colored ship girls are extremely rare in the encyclopedia, and the vast majority of them were contributed by the Renshuo Port area...

Ren Shuo watched expectantly as the smoke dissipated, waiting for his ship girl to emerge from within.

The first thing you see are white knee-high leather boots, slender and straight calves, and a luxurious white military uniform. The shawl gives her a dashing look.

With a slender waist and well-proportioned breasts, coupled with a confident smile on her delicate face, a confident female knight comes to life.

Gently stroking the sword hanging at her waist, her dark golden hair swayed in the wind, and her eyes, as blue as the sky, looked at Ren Shuo with a hint of curiosity.

Her lips parted slightly, revealing a voice that was both proud and elegant.

"Royal Knights, Vanguard of the Royal Guard, reporting for duty! I swear that from this day forward I will entrust my sword to you and serve you with utmost loyalty! May Her Majesty the Queen and the commander leading the fleet enjoy endless glory!"

Royal Navy, Battleship, Vanguard, reporting for duty.

Hutten squinted. Avant-garde? That last battleship of the Royal Navy in old history?

They must be very strong, right?

Hu Teng was eager to try. If it weren't for his excessive training and the fact that the Vanguard was a newly formed team, he would have loved to have a good fight.

Ren Shuo smiled warmly: "Welcome to the team, Avant-garde... from now on we're all family."

Qianwei looked at Ren Shuo with satisfaction. Hmm, his appearance is okay, and he gives a good first impression. Moreover, his personality is quite good... He seems to be an easy-going commander.

"By the way, this is Hu Teng from the port area. From now on, we're family," Ren Shuo introduced. "And this is Dido, who is also traveling with us. She's also one of my ship girls and belongs to the Royal Navy just like you."
