Chapter 216 Necessary Steps to Becoming Stronger
Thinking back to the pitfalls he had fallen into when he was a student on Blue Star, Lin Lan couldn't help but sigh that the style of the consortium in this other world to cheat money was still too simple.
He had decided to bring a little shock to the people of the Navy Department at this trade fair.
"By the way, Akashi, do you still have the oath ring for sale?"
After discussing the implementation steps of the lottery with the small profiteer for a while and asking Akashi to be fully responsible for the production of the lottery system, Lin Lan asked.
"Yes, yes, Commander, which girl have you taken a fancy to again, meow... Could it be?"
Akashi shook his kitten ears, and halfway through, he immediately understood who this playboy commander had taken a fancy to again, and looked at Lin Lan's face in surprise.
"Ahem, it's good that you know, you don't need to say it."
Being stared at by Akashi with eyes that see through everything, Lin Lan blushed and lowered his voice.
After holding Akashi from the beach and returning to the door of the store, Lin Lan found that his afternoon sparring partner, Prince Eugen, had arrived and was talking and laughing with Bismarck and Deutschland.
After changing into the enchanted armor of the Teaching Nation, he spent the afternoon sparring with Prince Eugen.
Through these three days of sparring, he has been able to use the skills and power of the brave man.
Before, he had a complex and diverse set of skills, but he could not make full use of the coordination between the skills.
Now, he has been able to initially achieve a reasonable combination of skills and can use the most needed skills at the most appropriate time.
In addition to the elemental sword, he also tried other weapons that can be condensed, such as spears, daggers, battle axes, sickles, etc.
Under the passive skill weapon mastery of the brave, these weapons in his hands can play the same effect as in the hands of a weapon master.
Combined with various elemental amplifications and elemental active attack moves, Lin Lan feels that he is now several times stronger than on the first day of sparring.
But even so, he still cannot break through the absolute defense of Prince Eugen who did not summon the ship suit.
"Let's stop here today. Thank you for your hard work, Eugen."
After taking off his helmet, Lin Lan, who was exhausted, wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled.
"Hehe, the commander has made great progress compared to the past few days."
Unlike Lin Lan who was sweating profusely, Prince Eugen smiled calmly, put the double shields in his hands back into the ship's space, and walked over slowly.
"However, if you really want to become stronger, you still lack the most important step."
Hearing the words of the silver-haired red-streaked heavy cruiser girl, Lin Lan looked at Eugen curiously:
"What step is missing?"
"A real-life fight mixed with iron and blood... But if it really comes to the point where the commander is asked to fight a life-and-death battle, it would be our dereliction of duty, um~"
Looking at the doting smile on Prince Eugen's face, Lin Lan couldn't help laughing and said:
"That's true, but I can't always be powerless."
He himself knew very well that a true strong man needs to be tempered in constant life-and-death battles.
The people in Gu Liaozhou who made this brave system set the skill point threshold in the hope that the brave will hone their strong state of mind through constant battles with the Demon King's army.
The skills in the system are just a bonus for the growth of the hero.
Being able to exchange skills with skill points means that the hero must have experienced countless battles.
With the help of skills, the hero will definitely become the strongest person who can lead mankind and defeat the devil under the continuous improvement and steady growth.
And those people in Gu Liaozhou would never have thought that the second hero would be a cheater like Lin Lan who directly unlocked all skills.
However, for Lin Lan, the identity of the hero was originally his part-time job.
His main job is still the commander of the port area, and basically he will not need to fight in person.
After being reminded by Prince Eugen, although Lin Lan knew that he did need real fighting to improve himself, it did not mean that he had to give up daily sparring practice.
He just needs to lay a good foundation now, and there will always be a time when this hero's power will be useful in the future.
After all, this is a different world that cannot be imagined with common sense.
Previously, there was a strange demon army commander who could possess the spiritual realm, and last time, he encountered a powerful Natlan limit assassin in the mirror sea.
It is definitely not a bad thing to improve your skills.
With the help of Mingshi and Shattered Sky, Lin Lan quickly took off the enchanted armor on his body.
Looking at the silver armor that Mingshi took back into the box, he originally thought that the enchantment on this armor needed to be activated by using the mind cube every day.
But to his surprise, this enchanted armor has been able to directly activate the enchantment magic since he first used the mind cube to activate it until today.
Bismarck, who had been watching the competition, also came over at this time and said to Lin Lan seriously:
"Commander, the weather is getting colder and colder now. It is easy to catch a cold if you sweat so much. Go back to the office loft and change your clothes first."
Hearing Bismarck's concerned words, Lin Lan looked up at the sky.
It was only 5:30 in the afternoon, but the sky was already dyed orange, and the temperature without direct sunlight was indeed a little lower than in the afternoon.
The sunset is beautiful, but it is almost dusk and the sky will soon be dark.
"The bodies of lower animals are so fragile, ah~"
Germany also came out of the store. After hearing Bismarck's words, she patted Lin Lan on the back with a disdainful smile on her face, grinning and joking.
While Lin Lan was sparring with Prince Eugen, she had basically repaired the workshop and the store with Manju and Muscle Cat called by Akashi.
Lin Lan looked sideways at the store, which was basically intact before the explosion, and couldn't help but sigh at the super high work efficiency of Manju and Muscle Cat.
Perhaps only with the strong logistical support of Manju, his port area can withstand the nonsense of some naughty children.
"I really should go back to take a shower and change clothes first, Bismarck, why don't you take Shattered Sky and go to the cafeteria with them first?"
Thinking that he would have to delay a lot of time after returning, Lin Lan looked at Bismarck and Shattered Sky and asked.
"I'm not hungry yet."
"Shattered Sky isn't hungry either."
After getting the expected answer from the two, Lin Lan smiled and shrugged:
"Okay, let's go back together first."
After saying goodbye to Prince Eugen, Deutschland and Akashi, Lin Lan and the other two walked towards the office loft first.
Along the way, Lin Lan also saw a lot of Iron Blooded Ship Girls.
But no matter which Iron Blooded Ship Girl he met, after greeting him, they looked at him a few more times with a meaningful look.
If it was just one or two people, it would be fine, but soon Lin Lan found that almost every Iron Blooded Ship Girl he met, whether it was the Z-drive little loli like Z23, or the light cruiser girl like Mainz, was like this.
Until even Hutten and Count Zeppelin, who were walking towards him, looked at him twice more with this meaningful look after saying good evening to him.
Lin Lan was almost certain that his Iron Blooded Ship Girls were definitely hiding something from him.
So after entering the courtyard of the office loft, Lin Lan immediately looked at Bismarck, who was standing beside him with a calm expression, and asked in a serious tone:
"Bismarck, I found a problem."
"Well, commander, please speak."
Bismarck looked at Lin Lan's expression in front of him, and had roughly guessed what her commander wanted to ask, and organized the words.
"Does my sweat smell very strong?"
"Yes, they already know that the commander wants to... um?"
Bismarck suddenly stopped talking halfway, and Lin Lan also looked at Bismarck blankly, with a blank face.
