“What should I do?”
Suddenly, so many beautiful eyes were fixed on him.
Plus, he was trying hard to control the inexplicable attraction he felt.
Wang Yu’s voice trembled slightly.
He couldn't tell if he was nervous or scared at this moment.
This might be the moment that determined his fate.
If he failed, his wonderful adventure might end prematurely.
But he absolutely did not want it to end like this; the more he worried about gain and loss, the more restless his heart became.
“Go up and touch it, feel the power of the Wisdom Cube with your heart.
The Wisdom Cube will respond to the call of a true Commander.” Shangri-La simply assumed that construction devices were different in different worlds and did not think that Wang Yu had never participated in construction.
The operation of construction itself was not worth mentioning; the key lay with the person doing the construction, something only a true Commander could achieve—a miraculous light that connected reality and illusion!
Hearing this, Wang Yu could no longer suppress the impulse in his heart.
He strode forward and placed his hand on the massive construction device.
Seeing the construction device emit a mysterious resonance, the blue and white light shone even brighter.
Wang Yu felt as if something was gushing out from inside his body, and soon he realized that this was not an illusion.
His body was glowing.
To be precise, some shimmering particles were emanating from within his body.
The glowing particles were being absorbed by the construction device.
Wang Yu looked closely at the particles floating out of his body and discovered that they were tiny cubes, seemingly countless times smaller Wisdom Cubes.
Is this the legendary Wisdom Cube affinity?
He felt as if something in the construction device was responding to him, and a sudden, electronic synthetic voice rang out.
Then he realized the sound was not coming from his ears, but from within his mind.
“System detected construction beginning, system detected new Commander, system detected failure to join Commander Network, system is connecting you to the Commander Network, connecting, please wait...”
“Commander Network connecting...”
“Connection complete, welcome to the Commander Network.
Commander number 8975641, welcome.”
Wang Yu felt a huge screen suddenly appear in his mind, like a legendary system interface.
This Azure Lane truly lived up to its name as a magical lane; what level of black technology was this?
Every Commander had a system!
Azure Lane, are you even giving the Siren a chance to live?
Wang Yu quickly looked at the various functions on the screen, seeing six major modules: Personal, Skills, Port Area, Forum, Fleet, and Components, written at the top of the screen.
No wonder they said true Commanders were different; cheaters and normal people were indeed not the same.
Wang Yu first opened the Personal module interface, and his figure appeared on the wide screen.
The text next to it silently displayed “Commander 8975641, Level LV1,” followed by a progress bar that looked like an experience bar.
The information box at the bottom was empty, with no messages.
The functions were very simple, seemingly a minimalist version.
The person who made this panel definitely didn’t want to put much effort into it; there wasn’t even a trace of post-production beautification.
Closing the Personal module panel, Wang Yu opened the Skills module panel.
The skill panel had 10 skill icons arranged emptily.
Wang Yu tried to click to view the details but found he could only see the names, with no detailed information about the skills.
Looking at the available skill points displayed as 1 in the bottom right corner of the screen, Wang Yu quickly gave up the idea of immediately activating a skill.
Without knowing the specific effects of the skills, it was better not to randomly click.
He would see if he could find a guide or something later.
The Forum module looked very interesting; even if the forum was not what he imagined, he could still ask Shangri-La and the others for advice.
In short, there were plenty of ways; there was no need to risk activating a skill directly.
If he clicked the wrong one, he would regret it terribly.
He directly closed the Skills module panel, no longer studying it for now, and Wang Yu reopened the Port Area module panel.
This panel was even simpler, looking like a split screen, divided into a small chat screen and a large chat screen.
Wang Yu guessed this should be the internal chat channel of the port area.
At this moment, the channel was empty, and he couldn't even find a member list display.
He had never seen a chat interface more rudimentary than this.
After muttering a complaint in his mind, Wang Yu directly closed the Port Area module panel and opened the Forum module panel, which he was most looking forward to.
This panel was much more lively, seemingly indicating that the system's creator had spent more effort on it, completely unlike the previous rudimentary modules.
Wang Yu looked at the titles of the most popular posts.
As expected, they were strategy guides.
“Without a guide, I have no idea how to play the game.jpg...”
“From Beginner to Burial: Full Ship Girls Equipment, No Images, Complete Analysis”
“Newbie on the Road: Commander Skill Recommendation Guide”
...
This was very comfortable; seniors guiding juniors, experts helping noobs, promoting the common development of the port area.
Commanders were indeed a loving group, and the forum was indeed a good place to learn.
“We Commanders should work together to build a harmonious port area.”
Wang Yu's gaze continued downwards, but he suddenly felt something was off.
The entire forum's style suddenly became strange.
“Zoo Keeper - Sakura Empire Beast-Eared Girls Appreciation Guide”
“Time Stop - The Taste of a Witch is Beyond Your Imagination”
“Arms Around Both - Yandere Battle Royale”
...
Wang Yu felt as if something was wrong.
A forum for learning and exchange, and you're doing this here?
He resisted the urge to immediately study diligently in the forum; the current situation was not right, and he should look at other things first.
He closed the Forum module panel and opened the Fleet module panel.
The panel showed “Formations: 0,” and no other information could be seen.
Was it because his command was empty, unable to provide more feedback?
But this was too rudimentary, wasn't it?
The creator of this system probably put all their effort into the forum panel.
Finding no important information, Wang Yu opened the last Component panel, which looked like a system store.
Wang Yu casually clicked on an icon named “Large Wisdom Cube Collector,” which displayed that generating a Large Wisdom Cube Collector required 300 Wisdom Cubes and 200,000 supply coins.
Wang Yu silently closed the panel.
“Let's go, let's go.
Taobao can only be looked at, I’ll definitely buy it next time.”
The others were various black technology icons, each with its own price, and there were even furniture blueprints for sale.
Would anyone use resources to buy furniture?
“Does this furniture give experience?”
Just as Wang Yu barely understood the function of the Commander panel, he suddenly felt his panel screen tremble, and scattered snowflakes appeared, like an old television screen flickering.
“What the hell?
Is it broken?” Wang Yu felt a little flustered.
“Don’t let anything happen at a time like this...”
“The panel isn't trying to run away, is it?
No, without the panel, how will I get by among the Commanders in the future...”
The cold, mechanical synthetic voice rang out again.
“System detected redundant data, system detected Commander number 8975641 already has a Port Area.”
“System detected data conflict, clearing redundant data... Redundant data clearing failed, data found to be valid, updating data for you... ”
“System connecting...”
Wang Yu felt as if something was wrong, but a strange anticipation suddenly grew in his heart.
“Could it be...?”
After a flicker, the panel fell silent.
Wang Yu didn’t have time to worry about the panel’s condition; a bigger emergency was happening to his own body.
Wang Yu felt as if he had lost control of his body.
The light emanating from within his body became even stronger, and countless tiny Wisdom particles converged into a torrent, almost completely engulfing his body.
The construction device trembled as if alive, and the blue and white light flickered erratically like breathing, faintly responding to the changes within Wang Yu’s body.
Light intertwined and wrapped around him, and he and the construction device seemed to merge into one.
“Just like when I came, I’ve turned into light again...”
“System connecting, system connecting... Connection successful, data updated.”
More and more Wisdom particles gathered in Wang Yu’s mind, gradually transforming into a massive cube.
The cube approached his Commander panel, slowly dissolving onto his panel.
After the cube and the panel completely merged, his Commander panel suddenly changed, and a brand new module panel was being generated—the Tianqing Port module panel.
Wang Yu couldn't suppress his surprise, feeling as if his soul had been heavily struck.
Memories floated to his mind, of how he used to complain while playing the game that his port area didn’t have a name, so he changed the name of his back home to Tianqing Port.
A possibility emerged in Wang Yu’s mind.
Wang Yu felt as if he was surrounded by immense joy.
“Did my port area also come to this place with me?”
“Yes, it must be so.”
No wonder he appeared on the Naval Headquarters’ construction device, no wonder even though he wasn't a Ship Girls, his construction consumed so many resources.
It turned out his transmigration was not alone; his port area had transmigrated with him, only revealing itself to him when he officially became a Commander.
All the resources he had absorbed before were actually the cost required for the port area to traverse space and time.
He, the Commander, might truly just be an accessory.
With this explanation, everything made sense.
It was as if it was destined!
Everything he had told Essex and the others at the Headquarters was becoming a tangible reality.
