"You've eaten too much. Just take some digestive pills, or if that doesn't work, try activating your ship's equipment." The Vess said expressionlessly.

"Oh, thank you, Goddess of the Hearth!" Yuudachi slipped away.

A moment later, another red-haired girl, her face bruised and swollen, appeared: "West Kitchen Goddess! Heal me!"

The paper and pen in the hands of the female stove goddess were twisted into a pretzel.

She looked at him with displeasure: "Can't you guys just soak in the canal chamber? Maryland, I'm not trying to be mean, but are you either in a fight or on your way to one? Why didn't Washington beat you to a pulp?"

"Isn't it like taking a bath before entering the canal? I have an exercise to do right away, so please treat me now so I don't have to change clothes." Maryland showed no embarrassment whatsoever, instead laughing and scratching his head in a carefree manner.

A flash of green light, and Maryland was fine: "Oh! Thank you!"

"If you want to thank me, then come less often!" The female Kitchen Goddess was genuinely having a headache.

The girls from the port area have all returned, and many new people have joined, which is giving the female hearth goddess a real headache.

There are only a handful of people available for duty at the medical clinic in the port area...

And then what? Perseus is nowhere to be found, the Hawk is nowhere to be seen with, Hermione has her own maid job, and the nurse job is only a side job…

Well, apart from myself, it seems that everyone else is a part-time doctor or nurse. Although Akashi is a repair ship, her major is scientific research and development.

So, for some reason, Vesta has become one of the busiest ship girls in the port.

After finishing her morning's work, the female Kitchen Goddess slumped into her swivel chair, her eyes vacant and her face blank.

"Ugh... I really need a helper... otherwise I think I might work myself to death at my post."

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She jumped off the chair, hung a "Out of town" sign on the infirmary, and headed straight for the secretary ship's office.

Upon entering the office, the goddess of the hearth went straight to Yorktown, slammed her hand on the table, and said earnestly, "I need to hire someone to be my assistant!"

Yorktown paused for a moment, then realized what he meant: "Didn't Perseus and the others help us?"

“But they’re not regular nurses, they’re not permanent residents. I need someone like me who’s in charge of these jobs!” The Vesta Goddess stated her requirements. “Ideally, they should be maintenance personnel, and they should understand the duties of doctors and nurses.”

“I see… So what are some repair ship names you know of? We can't possibly bring you back another Vestal and Akashi, can we? That's impossible.” Yorktown nodded.

"I don't care, it's really your problem! I'm doing all the work in the infirmary by myself, I can't take it anymore! If this continues, I'm going on strike!" The female Kitchen Goddess slammed her hand on the table, her face full of grief and indignation.

Is there no law left? 365 days a year, and you don't even have time for a vacation? That's outrageous!

Yorktown was also a little embarrassed. She knew what the Goddess of the Hearth was thinking. After all, there were so many people in the port who liked to fight, and the Goddess of the Hearth was basically busy from morning till night.

Yorktown couldn't think of a solution right away, so they could only reassure them, "We'll discuss it now. Go back and wait for our news."

The female Kitchen Goddess was skeptical: "Really? Let me tell you, if you can't come up with a reliable solution within a week, I'm going on strike."

Yorktown assured him, "Don't worry, it'll definitely work."

"That's good... I'll head back now." The goddess of the hearth then left.

As soon as the goddess of the hearth left, Yorktown's expression faltered, and he looked distressed: "What do you suggest we do?"

“It’s unlikely that we’ll find someone in the port area. We recruited last time, and they were all part-time. This time, the Goddess of the Hearth wants a full-time one,” Azuma analyzed.

Tirpitz hesitated for a moment, then suggested, "How about we recruit free agent ship girls from outside the port area? We could just bring them back to the port?"

"How should I write the job posting? Should I give preference to candidates with experience in repair or transport ships? And then those with full-time experience as doctors or nurses?"

"This is the only way."

"Do you think anyone will apply? This is basically recruiting people to work in the port area. You can't salvage ships like this, casting a wide net?"

"Let's give it a try, even if it's a long shot. You don't want the goddess of the hearth to go on strike, do you?"

"Alright, that's settled then."

"agree."

The Royal Naval College's annual live-fire battleship assessment usually involves experienced instructors taking students to less grueling front lines to experience the feeling of real combat.

Because the battlefield is constantly changing and there are casualties every year, it's not mandatory; it's considered voluntary participation. However, if you pass the exam, the rewards are very generous, and it can even be used as a graduation exam answer sheet.

For this assessment, Bu Nao and Si Zhan's roommate and part-time friend, Fu You, also signed up. She wanted to know where her shortcomings lay, so she resolutely participated.

As a result, after entering the battlefield, he was severely damaged by the mass-produced humanoid Sirens in just one encounter. He lay in the canal chamber for a day before finally mustering the courage to prepare to go into battle again.

I was inexplicably targeted by a barrage of cannon-like torpedoes. If I hadn't been with Ryuho, an experienced aircraft carrier instructor, I probably would have been killed.

It wasn't until she was soaking in the access room for the second time that she vaguely heard that, for some unknown reason, a Snow Princess had been crammed into the vanguard ship girls sent to escort them this time...

That's outrageous; it's like they're afraid these newcomers aren't fast enough.

Thus, the hazy revenge mission was largely spent in the canal chamber during this frontline journey.

However, this also shows that I am still far from perfect... There was a hint of darkness in his amber eyes, which were filled with vengeance.

But they quickly adjusted.

Okay, keep going and work hard, I'm sure I can do better. Now, I'm going home.

Chapter 521 Revenge: I'm numb.

Something's not right, something's very wrong.

Fu Zhen returned to his little nest and began to think seriously.

Based on our usual habits, the dormitory should be filled with a lazy atmosphere right now.

The main reason is that this lazy bum, generally speaking, at this time, will procrastinate and not review, and then when the exam is tomorrow, he will start to slack off, lie in bed playing on his phone, and when asked, he will say that he is preparing not to take the exam or even to retake the course.

But now? The dormitory is bright and clean, but there's not a single person inside.

It's not hard to tell that the owner of the house left early in the morning.

You could say that it's normal for a diligent female warrior to go out for exercise, but why doesn't she go out for exercise?

This must be like the sun rising in the west.

Moreover, even the Goddess of War can't drag this lazy bum out into the open.

I once tried with the Goddess of War to forcibly take a certain lazybones out, and the result was that this aircraft carrier actually unleashed a force greater than my battleship.

That's absolutely outrageous.

In the end, he and the goddess Si Zhan gave up and changed to a different bed and a different door frame.

After a moment's thought, Fury took out his phone and called Goddess Si Zhan.

"Hey? Goddess Si Zhan, where are you? I'm at the dorm... What? At the training ground? Okay, I'll be right there, and I'll look for Bu Nao along the way."

"What?! Bu Nao is at the training ground too?! Are you with her?"

The image of revenge is so powerful it deeply moves me.

Good heavens! The sun has really risen in the west!

After leaving behind the words "Wait for me, I'll be there soon," Fury hurriedly took his luggage out of his ship equipment space and left the dormitory.

As soon as I closed the door, oh no, the key was in my bag, and the bag was in my dorm room... Never mind.

Fury shook his head and left the dormitory.

…………

"You think you can get equipment with this little training intensity?!"

The training ground was filled with dreadful mockery.

Bu Nao clenched his teeth, seemingly enduring the pain of his fist striking the fearsome man's face.

This woman is so mean!

They've worked so hard, and yet they still come here making sarcastic remarks.

Of all the Illustrious-class ships, your "Formidable" is the most outrageous.

Didn't you see Victory and Glorious Sister cheering me on?

Fueled by rage, the aircraft inadvertently exerted a little more force, causing it to deviate from its planned trajectory once again.

Ke Wei seized the opportunity and continued, "No way? No way? This is the indomitable spirit of the Glorious level? You don't even have this much resilience? Just a few words and you've already broken down?"

Bu Nao took a few deep breaths.

Don't get angry, don't get angry, if you get sick from getting angry, it's your own health that will suffer.

Once I get my hands on the carrier-based aircraft that Glorious Sister promised me, I'm definitely going to retaliate.

Bu Nao realized that although Ke Wei was much stronger than him, when it came to verbal sparring, even two Ke Weis combined couldn't out-argue him alone.

After all, she had been active on the ship girl forum for a long time, and her typing skills were quite proficient.

"Isn't it a bit much to say 'Formidable'?" Glory asked Victory in a low voice, somewhat worried.

Shengli, however, was enjoying the spectacle and said nonchalantly, "Where is that? Is it excessive? Not at all."

"Let me tell you, Glorious Sister, the harsher Formidable is in her scolding, the faster you and the Commander's favorability increases. Haven't you noticed that now, as long as you and the Commander give Formidable a slightly bad look and then give Unyielding a good encouragement, your favorability will skyrocket?"

Glorious seemed thoughtful: "It seems so..."

But... I have a feeling that even if Unyielding comes to the port area in the future, he will probably be going head-to-head with Formidable every day.

However, despite his fearsome nature, when he's with people he knows well, he's a real little devil.

Guanghui touched his smooth cheek, feeling somewhat troubled. How would his younger sisters get along in the future?

"By the way, Radiance, what did you mean by Radiance-level resilience... Is your Radiance-level resilience really that strong?" Ren Shuo asked, exasperated.

Before Glorious could speak, Victory dismantled his sister's platform.

"Who said that, Commander? Let me tell you, of the three of us Illustrious-class, Illustrious has the best temper, followed by me. Let me tell you, it's incredibly easy to break through Formidable's defenses."

Victory grinned and said, "Let me tell you, as long as you don't let Kewei eat snacks, and don't let her eat cake, and break all her rock CDs, and call her a fat dinosaur in front of her, she'll break down in no time, I'm telling you."

Ren Shuo opened his mouth. If that were really the case, it wouldn't just be a matter of breaking down someone's defenses; they'd probably twist your head off.

The Goddess of War, standing to the side, carefully chose her words: "Commander Ren Shuo, the education in your port is truly... ingenious."

Ren Shuo covered his face: "Stop talking, I know it's embarrassing."

Tell me, in front of outsiders, you used to at least pretend to be a lady, but now you're laying your cards on the table, not pretending anymore? Or are you already confident you can win these two over?

"Goddess of War, I'm here! Where's Bu Nao? Let me see what's going on today. Why is Bu Nao here for training?"

Revenge arrived late, and after greeting the Goddess Si Zhan, she noticed Ren Shuo sitting to the side.

At first, I was taken aback, then I became a little curious. Why was this human commander sitting so close to the Goddess of War? The Goddess of War usually keeps her distance from the group of commanders.

Could it be that……

The Goddess of War seemed to have seen something interesting and couldn't help but ask, "Who is this?"

The Goddess of War introduced, "Here you are. This is Commander Ren Shuo, who is here to participate in the exchange activity. He is also my good friend. The three Radiant-class sisters who are currently training relentlessly are all from his port... Commander Ren Shuo, this is my good friend, Revenge."

Ren Shuo was somewhat surprised. Revenge? And another ship girl not found in the port...

This trip has been truly eye-opening.

Revenge smiled very politely: "Hello, Commander. I am Revenge-class battleship, Revenge."

"Nice to meet you... This is the glory and victory of this port, and this is the vanguard."

"Avant-garde?" Revenge couldn't help but glance at Avant-garde, and received a friendly smile in return.

The Goddess of War said, "Let me tell you, the Vanguard is a battleship with a rainbow rarity. It was only built by Commander Ren Shuo a couple of days ago. Commander Ren Shuo's luck is unparalleled."

Hearing this, although surprised by Ren Shuo's luck and avant-garde potential, Fu You was more curious about what his friend had said.

When did this friend become so interested in other people's affairs?

Aside from himself and Bu Nao, no one else has ever been seen treating the Goddess of War like this. It seems this commander has some skill; he's won over the heart of their Goddess of War.

However, as a friend, I won't cause you any trouble, but I can at least observe this Commander Ren Shuo a little and then give you some help, right?

Fury sat on the other side of the Goddess of War, and began chatting with Ren Shuo across the Goddess of War.

"Is Commander Ren Shuo's port area located in this vicinity?"

Ren Shuo nodded: "It's not far, but it's not close either."
