It is Kokang and Changchun

　Loli said, "They might... maybe not arrive until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

　"Ah, this..." The young man was speechless. What kind of sister would do such a thing that she would never do unless she had a cerebral thrombosis for ten years. She would not arrive until the next day or the day after tomorrow, but she let her sister wait for her outside overnight?

　The young man then asked, "Why don't you go home and wait for them? Why are you standing here in the cold wind?"

　"But I don't have a home here..."

　"...You can't stay out here all night like this, right? That's too dangerous. What if there's something strange going on? I'll take you to the nearest police station."

　When she heard the word police station, Loli shook her head like a rattle. No matter how the young man persuaded her, she was unwilling to go to the police station.

　The young man was helpless, but he couldn't just leave the loli there, so he had to take the risk and resort to this last resort.

　"Well, would you like to go to my house first? I can't just leave you here..."

　Chapter 9 Returning Home and Picking Up a Missile Destroyer (2)

　"Well..." Loli hesitated about the young man's request and didn't know what to do.

　The young man said helplessly: "You absolutely don't want to go to the police station, but I'm worried about leaving you here... I'm in a difficult situation."

　Seeing that Loli was hesitant, the young man tried to dispel her doubts.

　"Look, sister, I guarantee it with my integrity and faith. If I ever have any ill intentions or inappropriate thoughts towards you, my father will die, my mother will remarry, Huanmeng will go bankrupt and run away, and Anton will be killed!"

　Although Loli didn't know who Huanmeng and Anton were, she saw the serious expression on the young man's face and didn't think he was joking. If she went home with him, it would be a good opportunity for her to better understand the living space and lifestyle of modern humans.

　What? You're saying this loli might be guilty of a crime? But what if this loli possesses extraordinary powers far beyond those of an average person? Then the outcome would be hard to predict. (Laughs)

　After careful consideration, she decided to go home with the young man first and then make plans for the next step.

　"Okay...I agree."

　"That's good, don't worry, brother won't hurt you. By the way, sister, I don't even know your name yet. I can't call you sister in the future, right? How about we get to know each other?" The young man breathed a sigh of relief and said to the loli in a friendly manner.

　"Um, my name is... Ретивый, you can call me Prithivi. So, comrade, what's your name?"

　"

　My name is Qin Changan. From now on, I'll call you Prithvi." The young man named Qin Changan answered readily.

　"Well, please get in the car, little sister Prithivi."

　As he spoke, Qin Changan faced Prithvi and pointed at his electric car with both hands, making a "please" gesture.

　After Prithvi got in the car, Qin Changan got in next, turned the key, folded the bike stand, turned the right handle inward, started the electric scooter and drove home.

　Along the way, Qin Changan sneezed repeatedly due to the cold. Seeing this, Prithvi explained to him that she was not afraid of the cold and returned Qin Changan's coat to him.

　But Qin Changan insisted that Prithvi put on her clothes and not to bother him. However, Prithvi's seemingly weak hands pressed down the windbreaker draped over Qin Changan tightly. No matter how hard Qin Changan tried, he couldn't take off the windbreaker.

　In the end, Qin Changan had no choice but to give up and accept Priviti's kindness.

　"As expected of the Russians, even a little girl has so much strength..." Qin Changan thought to himself.

　"Priviti, you've been calling me comrade before. Are you... a communist?"

　Priviti didn't expect Qin Changan to ask her so directly, but she was also very happy. She replied, "Comrade, I understand the Chinese pronunciation of that term. There's no need to use English. I am indeed what you call a communist."

　Qin Changan heard this and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to have such advanced values ​​at such a young age. Back when I was your age, I was still playing 4399 and had no idea what politics was. Now, I can call you comrade."

　"These days, anyone in Russia who still sticks to this original ideal is worthy of respect; especially children like you, because they were born in the era when the White Bandits made a comeback." Qin Changan continued.

　"Today's Russia cannot do without you, the kindling of fire. If even this little flame is extinguished, the people of your homeland will continue to live in darkness."

　Qin Changan said self-deprecatingly to the loli behind him, "I'm just a fellow avid reader, not a professional. Just listen to what I say, don't take it seriously."

　"Tovārīщ, thank you..." Priviti slowly lowered her head and whispered in a low voice that only she could hear.

　The two of them had a very pleasant conversation, and the car drove to the gate of the residential complex where Qin Changan lived. There were several large gold-plated characters hanging on the gate of the community - Qingxi South Garden.

　Qin Changan took Prithvi into his house. As soon as he entered, he saw an expressionless little lady with pink hair, wearing a blue-green checkered shirt, sitting in the living room and staring at Qin Changan.

　The pink-haired girl then glanced at Prithvi. Slowly speaking, word by word, she asked, "Wow, is this why you came back so late? And you're a foreign lolita, tsk tsk tsk..."

　Qin Changan quickly explained: "Hey, sister, you misunderstood, she and I are not that kind of relationship..." He turned to Prithvi and said: "I forgot to introduce, this is my sister - Qin Xin."

　"Sister Qin Xin, Qin Changan and I really are not in that kind of relationship..." Seeing this slightly chaotic scene, Prithvi also came over to help.

　With the joint efforts of Qin Changan and Prithvi, Qin Xin finally understood the whole story.

　After the misunderstanding was resolved, Qin Xin apologized to the two of them, and she and her brother prepared bedding for Prithvi to stay for a few days.

　After finishing preparations, Qin Xin said, "I'm going to sleep first. You two can chat slowly." Then she closed the door.

　After Prithvi confirmed that Qin Xin had closed the door, she cautiously asked Qin Changan, "Comrade Qin, how come your sister... had such a constant expression from beginning to end?"

　"As for her, my parents neglected her when she was a child. They turned on the air conditioner fan to cool her face all night, and she became paralyzed..." Qin Changan replied regretfully.

　"Ah... I'm sorry, I asked something I shouldn't have asked..." Prithvi apologized to Qin Changan.

　Qin Changan didn't take it to heart and said, "It's okay, ignorance is not a crime."

　"Then...it's so late, haven't Qin's parents come back yet?"

　"It's common for them to go on business trips. We are used to it. They should be back by the 29th day of the lunar year. I'm going to take a shower first. You should go to bed early too." After saying that, Qin Changan went into the room to get clothes and went to the bathroom.

　Prithivi looked around and observed Qin Changan's house. This house was much better than the previous one. The walls and floors looked very thick. It was nothing like Yumi Xiaofu's house where every step could be heard clearly downstairs.

　Qin Chang'an left the bathroom door open, and the interior caught Prithvi's attention. She stood up and walked to Qin Chang'an's bedroom door. She poked her head inside and saw comic book character posters covering the walls and a glass cabinet full of figurines. Prithvi had never seen a room like this before, and curiosity drove her inside.

　As she was concentrating on admiring the little figure in the glass case, a male voice called her from behind.

　"If you're interested in these figures, I could be your commentator."

　Prithivi turned around and saw Qin Changan, who had just finished showering and was dressed. Only then did she realize that she had intruded into someone else's private space without permission.

　Prithvi apologized immediately and wanted to leave Qin Changan's room, but Qin did not intend to blame her. Instead, he followed Prithvi's curiosity and explained the figures to her.

　“This is the Lexington wedding dress figurine from Warship Girls R

　, the wedding dress is detachable, she is one of my favorite characters..." Qin Changan introduced confidently.

　"Wait." Prithvi caught an unfamiliar combination of nouns.

　"What is Warship Girls R?"

　Chapter 10: Recommend the KanColle game to KanColle?

　When Qin Changan heard Prithvi deliberately asking about the IP he had been loyal to for many years, he instantly perked up and asked, "Comrade Prithvi, is he interested in this?"

　"Yes, I want to know what this is." Mao Mei next to her answered in the affirmative.

　Qin Changan had a premonition that if he negotiated well this time, then there would be a possibility that Puli would become a female admiral, which would be a great thing for both him and Huanmeng.

　On the one hand, not only does it increase the number of players, but it can also export the country's ACG culture to foreigners and enhance its cultural soft power. This is simply a good thing with a lot of benefits.

　In this case, I must explain the Kancolle culture to Puli. Qin Changan thought so.

　"Qin, Qin? Comrade?"

　Just when Qin Changan's mind was full of wandering thoughts, Prithivi next to him gently pulled the corner of his clothes and called out to the daydreaming Qin Changan.

　Qin Changan realized that he had lost his composure and immediately returned to reality: "Ah... Excuse me, let me now introduce you to Warship Girls R and other related things."

　"Warship Girls R" (renamed "Warship Girls" in version 2.7.0) is a cute battleship card-based mobile game developed and currently operated by Huanmeng Network (a two-in-one partnership). It was launched on September 23, 2014.

　"This is a strategy-based development game that anthropomorphizes warships into feminine ones. Its theme is "two-dimensional ACG and military," and it possesses the gameplay and characteristics of a heavy SLG development game. The construction and enhancement methods of the feminized warships are unique. It also offers a high degree of tactical freedom, and the development and combat processes are full of different strategies and fun, which is highly in line with the preferences of SLG game users..." Qin Changan explained to Pritivico (tui) with ease.

　Due to the generation gap, Prithivi was a little confused. She said to Qin Changan, "Comrade Qin, please, please wait a moment... let me sort out what you just said."

　"You mean, Warship Girls is a video game. As the name suggests, it's all about the anthropomorphism and feminization of ships. Simply put, it compares ships to women. Is that correct?"

　Prithivi briefly summarized the key points of the tedious introduction just now.

　Qin Changan nodded and said, "You can understand it that way. A simpler and more down-to-earth explanation is that the warship has become a spirit."

　Prithivi pointed at the Lexington wedding dress figurine and asked, "So, this character is the USS Lexington, the aircraft carrier during World War II?"

　"That's right," Qin Changan continued. "As for KanColle games, the more well-known ones include China's "Azur Lane" and Japan's "Kantai Collection." Besides these, there are other KanColle games, but they are far less well-known than the three I just mentioned.

　These three have abbreviations: Kanju R, Kanju B, and Kanju C. As for me, I've been an admiral for almost six years and am a loyal Kanju R player.

　Prithivi felt an indescribable emotion in her heart. She asked Qin Changan, "Then...is Taiyuan included in these games?"

　"Taiyuan? Are you talking about the Anshan-class class that the Soviet Union gave us in the past?" Qin Changan pinched his chin lightly with his fingers, thinking and speaking.

　"Yes, yes, it is the Anshan-class Taiyuan." Prithvi confirmed with a little excitement.

　Qin Changan answered truthfully: "Well...there are currently only two Anshan-class ships in the fleet - Anshan and Changchun.

　As for Anshan, it won't be implemented until a few days after the game is updated, while Changchun will have it in 17. As for Taiyuan, Kan-R currently doesn't have it. I'm not sure if the other two have it, but Kan-C is unlikely to have it. After all, it's something the Japanese made, and the IJN collection is no exaggeration."

　"Bang, bang, bang" came the dull sound of smashing the wall from next door.

　Qin Changan subconsciously looked at the clock and saw that the hour hand had already passed the 1 o'clock mark.

　He reminded Prithvi, "It's getting late. The girl next door has already banged the wall to remind us. Let's stop here for today. If you have any other questions, Comrade Prithvi, you can wait until tomorrow morning and I will answer them to the best of my ability."

　Prithivi was not an unreasonable person. After saying good night to Qin Changan, she returned to the living room and lay down on the mat prepared for her by the Qin siblings.

　Although it was late at night, she couldn't fall asleep for a long time, and Qin Changan's advice to her just now kept appearing in her mind.

　"So, humans already have a concept of us..."

　----------------------

　At the middle of the night in the suburbs of Yantai City, Shandong Province, there were very few vehicles on the road leading to the city center. In the bushes not far from the road, two girls were singing happily while hurrying on their way. One of them was wearing a big hat and the other was wearing a beret.

　These two people dressed in naval style are Anshan and Changchun.

　Anshan: "Ocean, ocean, the endless ocean~ (Tune of the Grassland Cavalry Song)"

　Changchun: "The People's Navy marches forward, confident in defending the motherland's oceans."

　Anshan: "Our team faces the sun, with our feet on the land of our motherland~"

　Changchun

　"From the British coast to the Spratly Islands, hey! The Red Army is the most powerful in the world~"

　Just as the two were drinking and singing, reminiscing about the fleeting life, Changchun suddenly received a radio call from his youngest sister.

　"Sister, it's a call from Taiyuan!" After telling Anshan, Changchun answered the call from Taiyuan.

　"привет (Hello), Taiyuan, what's wrong?"

　"Sister Changchun? Let me tell you something. You'll definitely be interested. Yesterday, a boy kindly took me back to his house..."

　The words "boy" and "take him back home" resonated like thunder in Changchun's ears. She was so frightened that she almost blew the whistle. She hurriedly asked with concern, "Taiyuan! Are you okay? What did that boy do to you?! When I get over there, I'll personally execute him!"

　After that, the Changchun ship's equipment appeared, and the metal collision sounds of weapons preparation and ammunition loading were transmitted to Taiyuan via radio.

　Taiyuan was fine, but was frightened by the reaction of his doting sister. Anshan, who was standing nearby, also hurried to calm down Changchun.

　Taiyuan hurriedly explained, "Sister Changchun, it's not what you think. This boy is gay. He's very nice to me. He didn't do anything. He just provided temporary accommodation."

　Taiyuan's answer calmed Changchun down. Changchun put away his ship suit and returned to his soft and energetic default state.

　Taiyuan went on to say, "The gay man who took me in seems to be a big fan of a game, and the game I'm going to talk about is called 'Warship Girls'."

　In this way, Taiyuan recounted the relevant content that Qin Changan introduced to her.

　Changchun and Anshan have all shown great interest in this game, the other two friendly companies, and the Kancolle culture (the key is that they are in the game), and have put the discussion of this culture on the agenda of human research.

　In Shanghai, a teenage girl named Ella walked into her workplace and shared a strange dream with her colleagues.

　In the dream, a mysterious person asked her – “What is the operation of Christians preaching to God himself?

　Chapter 11 Joint Task Force

　No. 7, Chang'an Road, Laishan District, Yantai City, Shandong Province, February 3, 2021

　In a conference room, a policeman in a neat formal uniform was sitting in the center of the conference room. His face was ashen and his expression was serious as he glanced at the other participants.

　The silver national emblem with an olive branch half-circling his shoulders indicated his status as Deputy Chief Inspector of Police (Deputy Minister of Public Security).

　Around the conference table, all seats were occupied and all the participants were present. They sat upright, serious and silent, waiting for instructions from the person in the middle position.

　The deputy minister raised his left arm and gently brushed back his sleeve with his right hand, revealing his watch. He checked the time, watching the second hand slowly move to the "12" mark, and then spoke:

　"I declare this meeting open."
