"Who wants to become friends with you guys after a fight! Hehe!" Deep Sea Yamato made a face at Rodney.
"Has the naval base already set you free?" Rodney asked with a smile.
"Hmph! Of course." Yamato Akami straightened up, her ample chest heaving. "This is my era!"
As Yamato spoke, he put his hand on Shiro's other arm, like a little dog asserting its territory and status.
“Oh…” Rodney nodded. “Should I give you your weapon back?”
"Weapons?" Yamato Akagi was taken aback.
“Your gun emplacement?” Rodney asked. “The former admiral gave it to me.”
"Damn it! You guys actually did that!" Deep Sea Yamato realized that his gun emplacements had been divided up. "Those were their gun emplacements!"
"I'm sorry, your turret is just too useful," Rodney said sincerely.
"I'm not happy at all to receive an apology at this time!" Yamato Fukami's face turned red with anger as she turned to Rodney. "Give it back to me, it's mine!"
"No." Before Rodney could speak, Bismarck and Nelson refused in unison.
"Why should I?! Those are mine!"
“You can’t use it anyway. Besides, as a maid of the naval base, strictly speaking, you also belong to the naval base, and the naval base has the right to control you,” Bismarck said.
"You, you, you all!" Yamato Shinkai was so angry that tears were about to come out.
Is this how you treat prisoners of war? You sank their ship, salvaged it, stripped it of its rigs, cut off its hull, dismantled its gun turrets, and imprisoned it for years. When it finally got out, it was burdened with a mountain of debt. And when it wanted its belongings back, you wouldn't give them back. Is this how you treat prisoners of war?
"Look at them, Shiro!" Yamato could only turn to Shiro for help.
"Haha..." Xiaobai chuckled dryly. She had only just learned that Rodney possessed the Deep Sea Yamato's cannons. "Hmm... it's definitely not good to take other people's things..."
"Look, look!" Yamato straightened his back and looked at Bismarck.
As expected, Xiaobai is still on my side!
Chapter 389 The Price of the Yamato Cannon
The Yamato Gun is a turret mounted on the deep-sea Yamato ship, and it is among the most advanced equipment available to ship girls.
Even the novice naval base only has these few gates taken from the Deep Sea Yamato.
As an admiral, Xiaobai knew that no matter how embarrassing Abyss Yamato was, she was still a former leader of battleships and a woman who symbolized the end of the era of cannons.
The weapons she carries have historical enhancements, so their strength is beyond doubt, and the naval base is unlikely to let go of this good opportunity to exploit her.
"But... Yamato-neechan, you can't use your turret right now." Shiro looked at Deep Sea Yamato apologetically and pleaded with her, "Um, could you lend it to us for now?"
Upon hearing Xiaobai's next words, Shenhai Yamato's straightened back instantly stiffened.
Deep Sea Yamato looked at Shiro with an expression that said, "You actually betrayed me."
“Xiaobai, you…” Shenhai Yamato looked at Xiaobai with grief, his whole body trembling.
"Yamato, even if we return your weapons, you have nowhere to store them," Akagi said to Abyssal Yamato. "Your ship rigging has been stripped... cough cough, your ship rigging is damaged, and you don't have any space left, so you have nowhere to put it. Are you going to store it at Bismarck's house?"
Akagi's words struck a nerve with Yamato.
Indeed, Yamato is currently living in Bismarck's house, and she even uses a white laptop. Even if you give her back the turret, where would she put it?
“Ugh…” Yamato Akagi looked grief-stricken.
"Yamato-neechan, I'll go back and talk to Lexington and pay you for borrowing your gun, okay?" Shiro said.
"Huh? You have money?" As soon as Yamato heard Shiro's question, his eyes lit up instantly.
"Hmm... uh, I think so..." Xiaobai nodded.
She hadn't discussed this with Lexington yet, and she wondered if Lexington would be angry when she found out that she had turned the Yamato Cannon, which she had originally gotten for free, into a weapon that she would have to pay for...
"How much?" Yamato asked, blinking his bright eyes.
"Huh?" Xiaobai was stunned.
She really had no idea how much a Yamato cannon cost.
"Then...then..." Xiaobai was conflicted. The Yamato Cannon was such a powerful weapon, it must be very expensive, right? How much would be considered expensive?
Is it 648 per month? Or 518?
While Xiaobai was struggling with her decision, Akagi, who was behind Shenhai Yamato, quietly raised a finger at Xiaobai and her lips moved slightly.
It looks quite expensive.
"Uh...ten thousand yuan a month?" Xiaobai asked hesitantly.
"...Ten thousand yen?!" Yamato Akagi's eyes widened in surprise. "Really?!"
"Ah... um."
"Really? You're not lying to me!"
"No... I think..." Xiaobai thought for a moment. If Lexington didn't want to pay, he could pay Deepsea Yamato 10,000 yuan a year out of his own pocket.
"It's a deal! No going back on your word!" Deep Sea Yamato excitedly grabbed Shiro's shoulder, looking like, "Fine, I'll lend it to you then."
Yamato-neechan seems quite happy?
Xiao Bai breathed a soft sigh of relief.
Deep Sea Yamato was naturally happy. For her, there was a high chance she wouldn't get her turret back. She hadn't really had much hope, but she didn't expect that Xiaobai could actually help her get a monthly rent of 10,000 yuan.
That's absolutely amazing! It's like getting an extra 10,000 yuan every month for free!
Looking at it this way, I've made a killing, while the newbie naval base is losing money hand over fist!
Yamato and Shiro exchanged a smile.
"Pfft." Akagi covered her mouth and bent over, trying her best to suppress her laughter.
"Chicheng, what's wrong?" Xiaobai asked.
"It's nothing...it's nothing..." Akagi quickly straightened up and waved his hand, but couldn't help himself and bent over.
Akagi just raised his finger to imply that the price Xiaobai mentioned was not ten thousand yuan.
This is like giving money to a beggar.
That's the Yamato Cannon! The most powerful artillery weapon, priceless and incredibly rare, a divine weapon that every artillery ship girl longs for! There are only a handful in the entire world.
The finger that Akagi just held out wasn't for ten thousand dollars, it was for ten million.
Ten million a year.
They only resorted to exploiting Yamato because Yamato dared not resist.
After all, let alone ten million a year, there are plenty of wealthy and powerful naval bases that wouldn't mind renting these Yamato cannons to enhance their own strength, even if it's just ten million a month.
This newbie agreed to the deal for 10,000 yuan a month, or 120,000 yuan a year. That's a hundredfold reduction.
puff.
Akagi couldn't hold back any longer.
The key point is that Deepsea Yamato even had an expression that said, "I made a killing while you guys suffered huge losses."
"Was...was my price too high?" Xiaobai looked at Akagi looking at her and felt a sudden panic.
She really wasn't clear about the prices of weapons; in her mind, 10,000 yuan a month was already very expensive.
Before she became an admiral, she only received twenty dollars a day in pocket money.
"Hey, it's a deal, it's a deal, no backing out!" Deep Sea Yamato quickly hugged Shiro tightly, burying Shiro's head in her chest. "Your admiral said it! You ship girls aren't allowed to go back on your word!"
"Mmm, mmm, mmm, no regrets, no regrets," Akagi said with a smile.
Only then did Yamato release Shiro from his arms, completely satisfied.
Xiao Bai was indeed on my side. The turret was useless to me anyway, and Xiao Bai was so considerate in helping me exchange it for so much money.
So happy!
Deepsea Yamato is increasingly feeling that Shiro is a little angel.
“Lexington would be very happy to know,” Akagi said to Shiro with a smile.
"Ah..." Xiaobai carefully observed Akagi's expression for a while, and only nodded awkwardly after confirming that Akagi was indeed not angry.
The other ship girls around them kept quiet at just the right time.
Almost all the ship girls except Akagi could tell that Shiro's price was far too low.
But since the parties involved have no objections, what else is there to say?
The Yamato Cannon was thus rented to the naval base for a pittance.
"Ahem, from now on, my turret will be temporarily rented to you, temporarily, you understand?" Deep Sea Yamato suppressed his joy at receiving a huge sum of money, pointed at Rodney with his finger and said in a serious tone.
"Yes, thank you," Rodney said with a smile to Deep Sea Yamato.
Rodney is probably the ship girl who least regards the Abyssal Yamato as an Abyssal.
Yamato cleared his throat, said that the matter was over, and then happily looked around.
Yamato's salary at the naval base was automatically used to pay off her debts every month, so she didn't receive a single penny.
There was no allowance, since food and lodging were already provided for her. If she wanted anything else, she had to report it to Bismarck and have him buy it for her.
The perspective of a poor person is different from that of a rich person. After learning that he had an extra month's salary, Yamato felt that the scenery around him was different.
Things I wanted before, products that seemed out of reach, and things like milk tea and grilled sausages from roadside stalls suddenly felt much more familiar.
"Then...when will I get my rent for this month?" Yamato Shinkai swallowed hard and asked Shiro.
"Do you want it now, Yamato-neechan?" Shiro took out her wallet and looked inside.
In the first chapter, Xiaobai had already given all the cash she had to Sukhbaatar, and now she didn't have much money left in her wallet.
Sure enough, Xiaobai only had a pitiful few banknotes in his wallet.
"Use mine," Akagi said, handing her wallet to Shiro. "I still have some savings."
"May I?"
"It's alright, I don't usually need much money. Besides, I can get reimbursed by Lexington when I get back to the naval base." Akagi shook her head nonchalantly.
"Thank you, Akagi." Shiro reached out and took Akagi's wallet.
Unlike Xiaobai, Chicheng's wallet was noticeably fuller.
—No wonder she's a current single woman.
"I don't have 10,000 yuan in cash, but I can transfer 10,000 yuan to my credit card," Akagi said.
"Oh, oh..." Following Akagi's instructions, Xiaobai took out Akagi's credit card.
Deep Sea Yamato, standing to the side, couldn't wait any longer, his eyes shining as he stared at the credit card in Shiro's hand.
"Yamato-neechan, you can only spend 10,000 yen, okay?" Shiro cautiously reminded Yamato, then handed her her credit card.
"It's okay! I know what I'm doing." Deep Sea Yamato gratefully accepted the credit card.
After asking for the password, Deep Sea Yamato laughed and rushed into the supermarket next door.
In a world where you can even pay for a taxi with a card, there's really not much difference between cash and credit cards. Sukhbaatar prefers the solid feel of cash, but credit cards are actually more convenient and easier to use.
As expected of someone who has been a homebody online since the beginning, Yamato Shinkai, as a director of the Deep Sea Academy, actually has a better understanding of human society than even a novice.
Holding her credit card, she acted as if it were her first time using it. She quickly rummaged through the supermarket, filled a bag with snacks, swiped the card with practiced ease, and returned to the queue, completely satisfied.
Then, under Shiro's astonished gaze, Deep Sea Yamato miraculously ran into several clothing stores on his way back to Rodney's house and picked out a rather fashionable outfit.
Huh? When exactly did Yamato learn this skill?
Looking at Yamato Fukami standing in front of him, wearing sunglasses and exuding the aura of a trendsetter from a top fashion magazine, Xiaobai was momentarily speechless, unsure where to even begin to criticize him.
Chapter 390 The air was filled with an atmosphere of shame.
Xiaobai really doesn't know where Deep Sea Yamato got such avant-garde aesthetic vision from.
Xiaobai looked at the deep sea Yamato in front of him.
As the saying goes, clothes make the man. Yamato and Bismarck are about the same size, so the clothes she was wearing before were borrowed from Bismarck.
However, everyone knows Bismarck's taste. As long as it could cover her body dryly and not make her uncomfortable, she could call it clothing, regardless of style or color.
Although living with her brother Xiaobai for several years helped Bismarck's taste to be brought closer to that of a normal person, it was still too much to ask her to conform to the most fashionable and trendy aesthetics.
