He counted carefully several times to make sure there were four boat girls in Zheng Hao's room, and he immediately lost his desire to show off.
"Dude!"
"You're amazing!"
"Four...four..."
Looking dejected, Yang Fan immediately turned to walk away.
"Why!"
"Yang Fan, I need to talk to you about something! It's about the assessment!"
Zheng Hao caught up with Yang Fan in a few steps, and his face lit up with joy.
We can't stay in this room anymore!
Something could easily go wrong!
"Da da da~"
Following closely behind Yang Fan, the two walked to the deck of the maintenance shop. This time, Yang Fan silently turned around and looked Zheng Hao up and down: "Not bad! Not bad!"
"How come I never realized you were a male succubus before?"
"It's only been a few days? And another [ship girl] has arrived?"
"Damn it, you can't possibly show up at the World Championship with a fleet of a hundred ship girls, can you?"
Listen to me, buddy... take care of yourself...
Yang Fan patted Zheng Hao's shoulder earnestly.
This scene was just like the earnest advice Zheng Hao had given him back then.
"Well..."
"Would you believe me if I said I was just teaching them [shipping skills]?"
"Heh... guess whether I believe you or not?"
When Zheng Hao's serious face met Yang Fan's mischievous grin, Zheng Hao immediately gave up trying to explain.
Shaking his head, Zheng Hao changed the subject: "Have you watched the [Two-Star Navigator] assessment video?"
"I saw it..."
"But there's no point in watching it! It's all just footage of people sliding down cliffs..."
"Those who can pass all do so thanks to the [Boat Girl's] own skills; it's boring..."
"I can do it too! Both the [Flame Chaser] and the [Icestorm] are the bane of the assessment track... Don't worry, bro, I'll make sure you pass!"
Yang Fan patted his chest confidently, while Zheng Hao frowned.
Regarding the [Ice Flow Mountain] assessment, he might need to seriously consider which [ship girl] to use.
The venue is a ski slope on an iceberg cliff, and the most suitable boat for it would be...
"OI~OI~"
My thoughts are focused.
Suddenly!
Yang Fan patted his shoulder and gestured for Zheng Hao to look behind him.
"Um?"
Looking back, he saw his four "boat girls," who had appeared out of nowhere, all standing on the deck, staring at him expectantly...
"Hiss... Zheng Hao, shouldn't you be considering a base ship?"
"ah?"
A single word awakened me from my dream!
Zheng Hao looked at Yang Fan in surprise. Yang Fan leaned closer and pointed behind him: "You can't expect to have one of the ship girls sailing while the others stay in the [Captain's Cabin] when you go out in the future, can you?"
"The area up close is actually not too bad..."
"But if it's too far, I feel like there might be conflicts if so many boat girls are together..."
"You need to give them private space, and also build some special training rooms..."
"Given your current ship acquisition rate, you might consider getting a [base ship]..."
"A base ship...?"
"......"
With a slight furrow in his brow, Zheng Hao agreed that this made sense.
We can't expect five or six people to squeeze into a single ship girl's cabin for long-distance travel and daily sea exploration, can we?
Owning a super-large ship like the [Shan Hai Academy] or the [Zheng Family Merchant Ship] is indeed becoming increasingly urgent!
The boat girls need their own space and rooms.
Otherwise, when I rest in the captain's cabin at night after going out, those boat girls just stare at me blankly, and something feels off...
"A base ship...?"
After thinking for a moment, Zheng Hao took out his phone and called Zheng Yunlong, something he hadn't done in a long time.
"Beep beep beep~"
"Beep beep beep~"
After a few rings, a steady voice came through the phone: "Xiao Hao, I watched your match...very good! At your current pace, you should be able to overcome all obstacles and head straight for the [World Championship]..."
"Dad! I didn't call to hear your praise!"
"Something's wrong!"
Zheng Hao interrupted Zheng Yunlong's praise, and the other party paused, asking, "What? Not enough money?"
"It's even more serious than this!"
"Huh? You found an SSS-rank ship girl?"
"No! It's a [base ship], I need a [base ship]! My current fleet is already small enough, I need a huge [base ship]..."
"this..."
"Son, your question has really stumped me..."
"Base ships are generally rare and highly sought after. These super-large ships aren't even used for racing; they're in high demand for trade and transportation. Right now, it's basically impossible to buy one even if you have the price..."
"Oh no! What do we do now?"
"Um..."
"Wait a minute... I think I heard some news a few days ago..."
"It seems the [Pharmacist Ship Family] is going to start with the [Swamp Exploration Race], and the first-place prize... is a [Pharmacist Base Ship]..."
