Today's tutelary fort remains peaceful.

Cruiser T wrinkled his nose cutely and said, "Didn't the Admiral say that hard work is best for you? Besides, this is a punishment, a punishment! If you just want to sort the books, I can always find a few more people to help!"

"But this number..." Xue Cheng's mouth twitched wildly.

"No problem." Cruiser T gave a thumbs-up and said proudly, "If we can't finish it in one day, we can do it in two days. If we can't finish it in two days, three days is fine. There aren't many people borrowing books anyway, so we have plenty of time."

"But I'm afraid I won't live that long."

Xue Cheng smiled bitterly, and seeing that Cruiser T was determined, he had no choice but to take the gloves handed to him and move forward to carry them.

Just as Xue Cheng was about to stop and rest after moving several times, his hands and feet sore and he was panting, the glass door behind him suddenly opened and a calm voice rang out: "Admiral? What are you doing?"

138. Eight-in-one abdominal muscles

The girl behind him had long flaxen hair and wore a black headband. There was a blush on her fair cheeks and a hint of sweat on her forehead.

Looking at her sports-style belly-baring T-shirt and shorts, as well as the skateboard in her hand, it was obvious that she had just finished exercising.

"CV-16?" Xue Cheng looked at the athletic girl in surprise.

CV-16 nodded to Xue Cheng. She looked past him at the box in the corner, and a flicker of realization crossed her expressionless face. "So that's how it is. The Admiral was captured by the T cruiser and used as a laborer."

"I guess so." Xue Cheng took off his gloves and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was too embarrassed to mention the notebook, even though the other party might have already known about it through the chat group.

Cruiser T looked at her and asked, "Xiaoyou, are you here to borrow a book?"

"I heard a new batch of books arrived yesterday, so I came to take a look." CV-16 put his skateboard aside and looked at the pile of boxes. "Haven't you had time to check them in yet? If that's the case, I'll help out too."

Xue Cheng struggled to lift a box of books, feeling the heavy weight, and said gratefully, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Nothing, I used to come here often to help." CV-16 watched Xue Cheng walk into the library, thought for a moment, and silently put one of the two boxes of books in his arms downstairs.

Although he said he would not help, T Cruiser was not the kind of person who would sit back and watch others work while he was lazy, so he joined the ranks of moving.

The three of them worked together for more than half an hour and finally moved all the books into the library.

"Thank you for your hard work." Cruiser T wiped the sweat from his forehead. Seeing Xue Cheng and CV-16 slumped on the bright floor, looking exhausted, he quickly said, "Wait a moment. I'll get some towels and drinks."

"Okay." Xue Cheng replied weakly.

After graduating from college, due to lack of exercise and no need to do physical labor, his physical fitness deteriorated seriously, and he was even breathless after moving a few boxes of books.

Xue Cheng looked at CV-16 who was sitting next to him and also looked breathless, and sadly found that he was not even as good as a girl.

Of course, CV-16 was not really exhausted. In fact, not long after she started carrying the goods, Xue Cheng discovered that she was only pretending to be exhausted for the sake of her own face. Not only her, but even the T cruiser was actually able to handle this job with ease.

Xue Cheng couldn't be sure whether they had used the power of their ship suits, but he felt that he needed to exercise, not only for the sake of face, but also for his future life. After all, owning so many wedding ships would require a strong body.

"Is CV-16 working out?" Xue Cheng finally caught his breath, looked at the clear waistline of the girl next to him, lifted up his clothes to look at his own abdominal muscle, and asked.

"...Yes." CV-16 hesitated and answered in a low voice. Being stared at by Xue Cheng, she felt a little embarrassed. She put her fingers on the hem of her T-shirt and pulled it, as if trying to cover her abdomen. However, her clothes were short sports style and there was no way to cover it.

Xue Cheng noticed CV-16's embarrassed look, coughed lightly, and looked away: "Sorry."

"No, it's not your fault, Admiral." CV-16 blushed, not because of the heat or the physical labor she had just done, but outright shyness. "It's ugly to have a body all muscled like this, isn't it?"

"???" Xue Cheng looked at CV-16 carefully. The girl had a slim figure and tight skin that looked smooth and elastic. She had no excess fat accumulation and was not the type with prominent muscles at all. What was ugly about her?

"CV-16 must have misunderstood something," Xue Cheng said, feeling both amused and annoyed. "You're in great shape now. How can you say it's all muscle? Besides, what's wrong with muscles? As long as they're not the exaggerated type, it's fine. I want them, but I don't have them."

As he spoke, Xue Cheng lifted up his clothes, patted his eight-in-one abdominal muscles, and said self-deprecatingly: "The truly ugly muscles should be like mine, right?"

CV-16 couldn't help but laugh. When she saw Xue Cheng looking at her, she immediately stopped laughing and said with a serious expression, "No, the Admiral is in great shape now. Just keep maintaining it."

As the two were talking, Cruiser T came back with two towels and a few cans of sports drinks. She looked at the two who seemed to be discussing something and asked curiously, "What are the Admiral and Xiaoyou talking about?"

"It's about fitness." Xue Cheng patted his stomach. He looked at T Cruiser's slender figure and asked, "Is T Cruiser exercising?"

"No strength training, but I often go to George Evlov's gym to run and do bodybuilding exercises."

Anyway, the floor was clean, having just mopped it that morning, so Cruiser T simply sat down, handed a towel and a drink to the two people opposite him, and said, "Battlecruiser 1913 has been secretly doing strength training at home."

"Secretly? Why do you have to exercise behind people's backs?" CV-16 looked a little curious.

"That's it." Speaking of this topic, Cruiser T immediately became excited.

She looked around guiltily, moved closer to Xue Cheng, and said in a low voice, "You all know that Battlecruiser 1913 has that voluptuous figure, but she doesn't like it very much. If she wants to change, she has to exercise."

"But if she went to the gym, she would see people with obvious muscular lines or even thinner and slimmer than her. How could her self-esteem bear it? So she bought dumbbells and a yoga mat and practiced secretly at home."

"Isn't that kind of figure great?" Xue Cheng was speechless.

The figure of the 1913 battlecruiser in the game's illustration is indeed not slim, but it is definitely not fat. The slender waist that can be held in one hand, the arms and calves without any fat, and the flat belly are definitely a good figure.

It's just that the fat accumulates where it should be, making it look a little bloated at first glance.

I remember when it was first implemented, someone in the game forum that Xue Cheng often visited discussed the body shape of the 1913 battlecruiser. The sentence that impressed Xue Cheng the most was: She can make you die on her.

"I can't help it. Girls, how can you men possibly understand the anxiety about your body shape?"

Cruiser T shrugged. She playfully stretched out her finger and poked Xue Cheng's slightly protruding belly after he sat down. "By the way, Admiral, isn't it time for some exercise? Look, you already have a little belly."

"Nonsense!" Xue Cheng glared. "Unless your body fat is very low, even if you have abdominal muscles, you'll still have a belly when you sit down. I'm not participating in bodybuilding competitions, so why would I need such obvious abdominal muscles?"

139. Body Anxiety

Cruiser T tapped his chin with his finger and said with a smile, "Do you believe what the Admiral said?"

"Believe it or not, that's the truth." Xue Cheng turned his head aside. "There's no need for too low a body fat. What's wrong with the way I am now?"

CV-16 hesitated to speak, while Cruiser T said without hesitation, "Yes, yes, there's nothing wrong with that. It's okay even if I eat a lot of meat and fish every day. I won't get fat on my body anyway, but..."

Cruiser T stretched out his fingers and pinched Xue Cheng's cheek: "Admiral, didn't you notice? Your face is a little rounder than when you first came back."

Xue Cheng opened the T cruiser's hand and said unhappily, "Don't give me that. I just heard Lexington say the same thing to Tirpitz not long ago. Don't try to scare me."

"I'm not trying to scare the Admiral." Cruiser T cast his gaze on CV-16's face. "Xiaoyou, tell me, has the Admiral gained weight?"

CV-16 nodded. Although she didn't care whether the admiral was fat or thin, objectively speaking, the admiral had indeed gained some weight even though he had been back for less than a week.

After all, the cooks in charge of the naval base's meals are all first-rate chefs outside. People can't help but eat an extra bowl of rice at every meal. In addition, the admiral doesn't exercise, so of course he will get fat.

"Hey, did the Admiral see it? Even Xiaoyou said so."

Cruiser T said with a grin, "Actually, Admiral, you've noticed this yourself, right? Eating so much high-calorie food every day and not exercising, the excess nutrients won't just be converted into fat and stored in your body. There's no way they'll just disappear."

"Are you trying to trick me?" Xue Cheng's expression wavered, but he still said stubbornly, "Fat conversion isn't that fast at all. The weight I gained in a short period of time is all water and food residue. As long as I take a sauna and eat a clean diet for a few days, I'll recover."

Cruiser T did not argue with Xue Cheng anymore, but just looked at him with a smile, arms folded.

"Admiral..."

CV-16 placed a hand on his shoulder and whispered, "Exercise has many benefits, such as improving cardiopulmonary function, relieving stress, and controlling weight."

"If the Admiral doesn't like strength training, he can also do some aerobic exercise. As long as he sticks to it and controls his nutritional intake a little, maintaining his weight will be a very simple matter."

"This one……"

"I can accompany you, Admiral." CV-16 tilted her head and said seriously, "Let's start with some low-intensity aerobic exercise, okay?"

T Cruiser's smile disappeared. This was not the result she wanted. She quickly said, "And me, I will accompany the Admiral as well."

"..." Xue Cheng looked at the serious expressions of the girls, hesitated for a moment, and said helplessly: "Okay, since you all said so, but I have a condition. If you can do it, I agree to train with you."

"What conditions?" Cruiser T puffed out her cheeks. She looked reluctant to train with a beautiful girl like herself and CV-16. If the man in front of her was not the admiral, she would have turned around and left long ago.

No, if it wasn't the admiral, how could I sit face to face and chat with other men?

Cruiser T curled his lips and asked, "What are your conditions, Admiral? Let's be clear, if it's too much, we won't agree to it, even if it's from the Admiral."

Xue Cheng smiled cunningly and raised his eyebrows. "It's very simple. How about bringing the 1913 battlecruiser into our training team? That's not too much, right?"

"..."

A yoga mat was laid out in the living room. Wearing yoga pants and a sports vest, Battlecruiser 1913 followed the movements of the female coach on TV and performed fat-burning exercises in a methodical manner.

Hula hoops, elastic bands, dumbbells and other equipment are placed on the floor next to it, and creatine, protein powder, nitrogen pump and other sports supplements are placed on the coffee table not far away.

In fact, the 1913 battlecruiser also knew that it was very difficult to change the size of the ship girl.

Fitness experts like those in Tennessee and California already had a good foundation, and through high-intensity training day after day, they reversed the law, made the impossible possible, and achieved a muscular body.

Just doing aerobics at home and playing with 2.5KG light dumbbells like her will not do much to improve her body shape.

But even if it only has a little effect, it's better than doing nothing, right?

Isn't that the same thing with Veneto? Even though she knows she can't grow any taller or her breasts can't get any bigger, she still perseveres and spends a fortune to order the so-called "growth potion" from Yubari and Kouwei.

Hmm, speaking of which, shouldn't I also ask Yubari and Kewei about the potion to improve my figure? What if it works?

Battlecruiser 1913 was thinking, and his originally methodical movements gradually began to become distorted.

After finally finishing the 30-minute aerobic fat-reducing exercise with non-standard movements, Battlecruiser 1913 picked up a bottle of drink from the coffee table, which was said to have the function of enhancing exercise efficiency, drank half of it in one breath, and then went to the yoga mat again, picked up two 2.5KG dumbbells and started doing curls.

"Huh, huh, huh... I'm so tired..." After doing just one set, Battlecruiser 1913 felt the muscles in her arms twitching constantly. The numbness and tingling made it impossible for her to lift the dumbbells in her hands anymore.

The girl lowered her arms and slumped down on the yoga mat. She felt hot all over, and sweat kept dripping from her forehead, along her chin onto her towering chest, and then gradually seeping into her light green sports vest.

"So this is what 2.5KG's weight is like?" He thought about how after he used the power of his ship suit, one punch was enough to collapse the wall of the living room, but now he was helpless against two dumbbells.

Battlecruiser 1913 resisted the urge to use his supernatural strength, climbed up again, and held the two dumbbells in his hands.

"Can't...can't give up like this!" Battlecruiser 1913 gritted his teeth, a determined look on his delicate little face.

"I can still do it, I can keep going! Tennessee and California can do it, and George Evlov can do it too. I can definitely do it too. Two more sets... No, three sets. As long as I keep doing it every day, I will definitely improve!"

The girl's determination is indeed admirable, but unfortunately, it is obviously unrealistic for someone who rarely exercises to suddenly want to challenge her limits.

Even in the eyes of many people, this limit is already shockingly low.

So soon, before Battlecruiser 1913 could lift her arms a few times, she fell to the ground again, and this time, she didn't even have the strength to lift her arms.

Just then, the doorbell rang from the direction of the entrance.

"Hate it, who on earth would..."

Battlecruiser 1913 frowned. She endured the pain in her arms and quickly got up. She rolled up the yoga mat under her body and hid it behind the sofa. She also hid the dumbbells, elastic bands, hula hoop and sports supplements on the coffee table on the balcony. Then she came to the door and opened it a crack.

"So slow! What's taking so long?" Cruiser T's face appeared in the crack of the door.

One hundred and forty, partner

"Why are you here?" Battlecruiser 1913 looked a little annoyed.
