It is Kokang and Changchun

　"It seems my guess was basically correct. The Mind Cube was indeed influenced by me. After falling into this world, it gradually changed this world..." (If you are confused about this paragraph, you can go back to Chapter 1 and Chapter 84.)

　"However, Xiao Changchun, your plan to replace your 50 yuan and computer accessories will definitely be ruined." Eve covered her mouth and smiled lightly.

　If it were the "first reincarnation", no matter how much she smiled, her expression would still be that unchanging expressionless face.

　Fortunately, she later cured her facial paralysis. Although her facial expressions are still a bit stiff, at least it can greatly improve the impression people who first meet her have on her.

　----------------

　Good

　After finally finishing the casual chat with a group of uncles and aunts, Anshan returned home and put the bought vegetables into the kitchen.

　Then Anshan went upstairs to find Taiyuan and asked her to prepare the vegetables, but was told by the captain Wang Jisong that Taiyuan was not there.

　"What? Taiyuan is not here, where did she go?" Anshan asked.

　Wang Jisong thought for a moment and said, "The girl didn't say where she went. Maybe she's on the ship at the Naval Museum. According to the Naval Museum, Taiyuan always spends every weekend with a boy."

　At this point, Wang Jisong couldn't help but think of a possibility and inferred: "Anshan, do you think this girl has a boyfriend?"

　"This..." Anshan was unsure of what to say. "I don't know what to say, but it's probably not the case. Besides, I think I know who that boy is."

　Ever since Taiyuan confronted Qin Changan who came to her house that day, Qin Changan would take time out on weekends to visit Taiyuan and chat with her.

　What? You said Qin Changan lives in Dalian, and this is Qingdao. Where does he get so much time?

　Coincidentally, although Qin Changan lived in Dalian, he went to school in Qingdao, attending Qingdao University. Fate, that's just amazing.

　When he was leaving the dormitory with his backpack and heading to the Naval Museum today, his roommate on the opposite bed joked:

　"Hey, Brother Qin, are you in such a hurry to date your girlfriend? When are you going to get married and have a baby? Then let's all go to the wedding together in the dormitory."

　Qin Changan threw his schoolbag onto the chair, picked up his flip-flops with one hand, and climbed up the ladder of his roommate's bed in an offensive manner to intimidate him. With a cooperative and joking expression on his face, he cursed:

　"Old Li, I'm telling you to stop talking nonsense. Is there anything wrong with believers communicating with God?"

　"But this God is a heretic. You are a Kantai player." Lao Li did not take Qin Changan's joking deterrent posture seriously and returned.

　"The real ship girl has appeared in reality. Do you still care whether she is from Ship R or Ship B?" Qin Changan put away his posture and retorted.

　"That's right...Okay, brothers, I hope you have fun."

　"Thank you for your good wishes. I'm leaving now." After saying goodbye, Qin Changan put on his schoolbag and set off for the museum.

　An hour later, the Taiyuan Ship of the Naval Museum

　On the bow deck, Taiyuan and Qin Changan were chatting and laughing.

　"... Taiyuan, my sister was very happy when she knew your true identity. She said that if she has the chance after she finishes her postgraduate entrance examination, she will perform a Sichuan opera for you." Qin Changan said.

　"Especially...happy?" Taiyuan tried hard to imagine what a happy expression would look like, or how to express one's feelings.

　It was so hard to imagine that Taiyuan simply gave up thinking about it. Then he expressed surprise that Qin Xin knew Sichuan Opera.

　"People from Liaoning can actually sing Sichuan Opera? How rare..."

　Qin Changan proudly introduced, "Let me put it this way. My sister is familiar with theatrical cultures from all over China, but she's most deeply versed in facial makeup and the face-changing techniques of Sichuan Opera. Oh, and there's also Japanese Noh and its mask culture. So, performing Sichuan Opera is nothing to her."

　"Wow, so amazing..." Taiyuan exclaimed, "Sister Qin Xin, did you go to an art school? For example, the Central Academy of Drama?"

　Qin Changan denied it, "No, she didn't take the art exam. She studied law. Drama and other things are more of a personal hobby for her."

　"Oh, what a pity. If he had taken the art exam, maybe there would be one more master in the drama world." Taiyuan said with some regret.

　"Maybe it's possible. Oh, and I just remembered I have a video of my sister performing Sichuan Opera on my phone."

　As Qin Changan spoke, he took out his cell phone and opened the photo album to look for it.

　"Look, look, this is a video of her entertaining herself at home from the past two years."

　In the video, Qin Xin was wearing a Sichuan opera costume, and the background was the rooftop of a residential building in her community.

　She bowed to the camera and began to dance to the music, performing the entire routine with ease and fluidity.

　Her voice rose and fell, intermittently, sometimes like the sound of ripping silk and brocade, sometimes like the sound of flowing water in the mountains, and sometimes like the drizzling spring rain. Her singing was poignant, beautiful, and mournful. It was gentle, melodious, and captivating. She was like a veteran actor on stage.

　After the song ended and the first part was over, she took a short break and then began to perform the most famous Sichuan Opera skill - "face changing" under Chen Xiaotao's song "Face Changing".

　This face-changing is even more amazing. Even if you stare your eyes until your eyeballs are about to pop out, you still can't tell how the face changes.

　After watching the video, Taiyuan was deeply impressed by this profound Chinese culture and said with emotion:

　"That's amazing! I'm truly in awe of you. I didn't expect your sister could even wield a Guan Dao."

　"Actually, that's not a Guandao, it's a naginata. Although they are somewhat similar, there are still differences." Qin Changan corrected.

　Taiyuan thought back to the video and asked, "When I was watching the second part of the face-changing sequence, I felt like two of the facial expressions seemed to have different styles. Was it just my imagination?"

　Qin Changan replied, "Your feeling is correct. Among the changing facial makeup, two are Japanese mask styles. My sister often does this. She says it is a way of cultural exchange and integration..."

　Taiyuan was very happy watching the show and said, "It's quite good. It seems that Sister Qin Xin is also a cultural open-minded person. I am increasingly looking forward to her live performance. Comrade Qin, please tell her that I will definitely attend the meeting when I have time."

　"Oh right." Taiyuan continued, "Sister Changchun is planning to bring Sister Anshan and me.

　Comrade Qin, are you going to Hainan for a trip? Do you need me to bring back any local specialties?

　"What? Hainan?" Qin Changan instantly became interested. You know, Hainan is very attractive to people from Northeast China.

　He didn't shirk responsibility and said directly, "Then I'll leave it to Comrade Taiyuan. I've always wanted to go to Hainan to try what coconut tastes like."

　----------------

　After layers of investigation, the disappearance of the money in Chunyue's donation box was ruled out as the possibility of the crime being committed by sailors or other personnel in the base.

　Finally, Chunyue decided to use a fishing expedition. The donation box that had been sealed after the incident was put into use again, and Chunyue hid in the dark and observed.

　As for fatigue, it wouldn't be a big deal if the ship girl slept for several days in a row.

　On the fourth night after the donation box was reopened, a strange figure sneaked up to the donation box.

　Then, the figure began to touch the offering box, making a slight noise.

　Haruzuki, who had been waiting in the main cabin for a long time, for the sake of quietness, flashed a blue light with the Kagura staff hung with bells in his hand, and turned it into a long-handled imperial coin, and then flashed behind the suspect.

　Come to think of it, Haruzuki only recently discovered that the Kagura staff in her hand could be transformed into a royal coin.

　"Stop! (Stop!)" Haruzuki rushed forward and stabbed the suspect to the ground with his royal penny.

　"Ah!" The suspect fell to the ground and groaned.

　"A woman?" The sound of the moan caught Chunyue's attention. She took out a flashlight to see what was going on.

　It was indeed a woman, a young girl, but she looked very sloppy. She was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt and a dark blue skirt. I don’t know if the sweatshirt was originally gray or if it was white and turned dirty.

　The suspect tried to break free, but Harutsuki pinned him to the ground with his royal coin, preventing him from getting up. After all, no one can fight a ship.

　"Would you please tell me why you stole the money from the offering box?"

　Chunyue is a gentle girl. Even when facing the criminal suspect, there is still some healing in her tone.

　The girl who was pinned to the ground said with resentment: "Because I have no money."

　"You have hands and feet, why do you steal? Can't you just work?" Chunyue frowned and questioned.

　"It's impossible for me to work. I will never be able to work in my entire life. I can't make any money no matter what I do..." the woman said dejectedly.

　"You..." Chunyue really wanted to teach this thief a lesson, but thinking that she might have other difficulties, she asked, "Where are your relatives?"

　The girl replied, "Relatives? I do have a sister who loves to spend money."

　Chunyue: "Love to spend money? Is your sister rich?"

　The girl who stole the money: "I guess so."

　Chunyue's heart sank when she heard this. As a younger sister, seeing her sister in such a state of desolation, she was surprised to see someone with money not helping her. What kind of person was this?

　This reminded Chunyue of a line from The Communist Manifesto: "The bourgeoisie has torn off the veil of tender affection from family ties and transformed them into purely monetary ones..."

　Chunyue shook her head and sighed, then said, "You didn't steal anything else, did you?"

　"No, I just stole some money to buy some food."

　Combined with the previous investigation results, only the donation box was stolen in the port area, and all military-related documents and items were intact. Therefore, Haruzuki did not doubt the woman's words.

　Chunyue looked at her, who looked like a beggar, and said, "Take a bath first. There's a bathroom on the boat. I'll give you something to eat when you come out. What's your name?"

　The girl twisted her messy, dirty blue hair with her index finger and said, "Just call me Yuan..."

　Chapter 104 "Good News" for the Deep Sea

　A deep-sea base somewhere in Australia

　A group of senior deep-sea pioneers were discussing a battle plan. Due to different and disagreeing views on strategy, the discussion turned into an argument.

　The debate is currently divided into two camps - radicals and conservatives.

　A radical deep-sea pioneer loudly said:

　"With the Yamato and Musashi, the Seventh Fleet means nothing! Destroy the Seventh Fleet and cut off our communications, and our forces will have unimpeded access to the Asia-Pacific region!"

　Radical Deep Sea Soldier B added:

　"I second the motion! The last time the British Royal Marines brutally assaulted the US Marines after their communications were cut off, it was clear that once the US military's communications are cut off, they are like headless flies, helpless and at the mercy of others!"

　"Then what? Although the logistics department is increasing production, the navy and air force are still not strong enough. Landing and island-taking operations are absolutely impossible without the support of a strong navy and air force!" A conservative deep-sea pioneer refuted.

　Radical Deep Sea Soldier C was filled with disdain, coldly retorting, "Do we have sufficient naval and air force support to capture this 'island' of Australia? Can't we still capture Canberra in a day?"

　Conservative Deep Sea Soldier B banged on the table and said:

　"That's because the Australian army was completely unprepared, coupled with the joint efforts of our intelligence sisters. Now, we may face the US troops stationed in Indonesia next, and they have already entered a level three defense readiness state. With such a well-prepared enemy, we can't repeat our success in the Australian raid!"

　Radical Deep Sea Soldier D tried hard to convince the other side:

　"Let the intelligence sisters do the infiltration behind enemy lines. And speaking of intelligence sisters

　, I have to tell the truth.

　Intelligence deception against the United States can only deceive the United States temporarily, not forever.

　The intelligence team is under immense pressure right now, and they themselves can't say how much longer they can deceive the US. To divert US attention and relieve the pressure on the intelligence team, we must immediately march into Indonesia!

　Conservative Deep Sea Vanguard C took advantage of the opportunity and retorted:

　"You still care about the sisters in the intelligence team? If you care about them, you shouldn't advance immediately. This will only put more pressure on them!

　If you want to fight, they will have to defend Australia and sabotage behind enemy lines. Furthermore, given Indonesia's geographical location, such a radical approach will only attract attention!"

　"As long as we take it down, everything will be fine!" The radical deep-sea pioneer A still insisted on his opinion.

　"Take it down, what next?" Conservative Deep Sea Vanguard A responded sharply, criticizing this:

　"It's easy to conquer a kingdom, but it's hard to maintain it. If the progress goes smoothly, that's a good thing, but it's also a bad thing. If the momentum is too strong, it will inevitably attract the attention of major nations. In the end, they might launch endless large-scale strategic bombings against us in Australia and Indonesia, or even nuclear attacks!

　If, due to their aggressive advance, the rear-area construction cannot keep up with the pace of the front-line troops, and our air defense and anti-missile systems in Australia and Indonesia have not been fully established, then we will have no choice but to endure their bombing in vain!

　And if we can't break through due to insufficient naval and air force strength, then it's all over!"

　"What are you afraid of? Didn't I tell you before that there were Yamato Musashi and the others?"

　"The two of them, combined with the mass-produced warships, can certainly destroy the Seventh Fleet, but can they destroy the entire US Navy, including the Fleet Spirits, or even the entire human navy?

　Furthermore, even if Indonesia is taken, not only the United States but also China will not sit idly by. Have you forgotten the lessons learned in the last century?"

　In the deep-sea counterattack war in the last world, China made the greatest contribution to land warfare, destroying more than 70% of the deep-sea army forces.

　The historical lessons thrown out by the conservatives left the radical Shenhai speechless for a moment.

　Radical Deep Sea Vanguard B suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, right? Don't we have a huge potential pool of troops in Japan? Hundreds of thousands, right? Isn't that enough to break through?"

　"Don't you understand what I said before? If your navy and air force are not good, what good will your army do? Look at Iraq back then. They had a standing army of over a million, but they were still beaten by the United States?!" Conservative Deep Sea Vanguard B slammed the table in anger again.

　"Enough! Silence!"

　At this moment, the door of the conference room was opened by another deep-sea pioneer who looked like a leader. She shouted to stop the debate that was likely to continue to intensify.

　"I'm just going to go out and talk to Lord Admiralty Code, and you're all bickering like this? You could use that energy to do something else! Why don't you just act like humans and fight amongst yourselves?!"

　The deep-sea pioneer who opened the door and entered the venue released the pressure from his superiors in the mental network while scolding. All the deep-sea pioneers present immediately quieted down and apologized.

　"I'm sorry, Master No. 1."

　After Deep Sea No. 1 took his seat, he said, "Okay, I just got some good news from Admiralty Code—the shield is back."

　"What?! Are you serious?" All the Deep Sea present were shocked, especially the radical Deep Sea.
