Free Web NovelChapter 916: Chapter 536: Alice Tries to Fire
"Ahhh! Haven’t we reached land yet?" Alice weakly said, holding onto Zhu Yue’s neck, "I’m almost starving."
Zhu Yue said helplessly, "How was I supposed to know you’d choose such a distant area from land as your focus point."
Only after adjusting the sea chart did Zhu Yue realize that the spot where Alice landed was the legendary Death Sea. In that sea region, there were numerous terrifying Deep Sea Flagships.
No wonder I encountered a deep sea fortress right after being summoned; it turns out Alice fell directly into the Sea of Death.
"Even the most powerful fleets dare not tread in this area; we’re really lucky to have escaped." Zhu Yue sighed and said, "I’m afraid it’s going to be several more days of sailing before we see the first island."
"How would I know? I saw a landing spot there and just went for it." Alice’s voice was light, "Can’t we really think of a way to fish? To be on the sea and starve to death is truly absurd."
Zhu Yue said speechlessly, "I’m not a fishing vessel; I don’t have fishing equipment on me..."
"Huh? Such a powerful device can’t even catch fish?" Alice poked Zhu Yue’s ship armor while she spoke.
Zhu Yue jumped in surprise and shouted, "You better save your strength, don’t randomly touch the ship armor. If you accidentally hit some amazing switch, we’ll be doomed."
"Ugh... So boring." Alice lay on Zhu Yue’s back, closed her eyes, and continued to study her storage ring.
Due to changes in the world’s rules, her storage ring was completely unusable now.
But Alice could clearly sense that the items inside the ring still existed; she just hadn’t discovered the method to open space tools in this world.
According to Zhu Yue, some advanced ship armors have storage space, similar to a pocket, but generally only the senior sisters have them.
Those sisters often kept items like wine, coffee, or ice cream in their pockets.
Especially ice cream; whenever the carrier sisters’ planes fell into the sea, they would use ice cream as a reward to get the destroyers to find them.
After researching for a long while, Alice gave up, "I think we should first find ship armor parts with spatial attributes to study them thoroughly. Only then can I find the correct way to open the ring."
She hadn’t intended to be so troublesome, contemplating to call Claude to see if he had a better solution.
However, Claude was always so elusive; after calling him several times without any response, Alice abandoned the idea.
It seems only when she’s about to starve that Claude would appear.
Alice pouted, grumbling internally.
A day later, still no sight of land.
Due to the sheer absence of land around, not a single foraging seabird could be seen. This left Alice who planned to rob the birds extremely disappointed.
Fortunately, Alice’s power was only unusable due to current rules, rather than having vanished entirely. The physique of a tenth-level mage still allowed her to survive a long time without any food.
Yes, theoretically speaking.
But Alice never had the awareness that as an Extraordinary she could go without food or drink. Moreover, even if a high-level mage could indeed do without eating, that would be in an environment where magic elements existed, allowing them to absorb elements for energy.
When hunger reached its extreme, Alice had no choice but to command Zhu Yue to bombard the ocean to see if they could blast a few unlucky passing fish.
"Even if we’re going to blast fish, we should use depth charges." After several fruitless attempts, not to waste ammunition, Zhu Yue helplessly explained to Alice, who knew nothing.
Though typically depth charges are indeed used to destroy submarines.
But no matter, submarines are also fish.
"Really? I don’t believe it!" Alice exclaimed, hands on hips, displaying a stubborn ignorance that was infuriating.
"Let me do it!" Alice volunteered enthusiastically.
Zhu Yue’s mouth twitched; she didn’t even know how to comment.
Ship armors are very specific weapons; even mass-produced ones can only be adapted by girls with shipgirl potential, and as an outsider, Alice definitely doesn’t have shipgirl potential.
Moreover, Alice’s identity is that of a Commander. What sense would it make for a Commander to use ship armor to fight?
Any officer who could use ship armor themselves wouldn’t be a Commander; they’d be a Flagship.
Yet, to Zhu Yue’s surprise, an astounding scene unfolded before her eyes.
She saw Alice very adeptly beginning to operate Zhu Yue’s main guns, and during this entire process, she was standing on the ocean’s surface.
"Hehe, don’t be surprised." Alice seemed to sense Zhu Yue’s shock, cheekily said, "I haven’t been idling these past days. Although I don’t know how to open the storage ring, I’ve already figured out how to use ship armors and stand on the sea."
With Zhu Yue as a living sample of a shipgirl at her side, naturally, Alice would use Dawn Power to analyze thoroughly.
Though she still couldn’t fully understand the rules of shipgirl existence, Alice could already use Dawn Power to replicate some of the shipgirl’s rule characteristics onto herself.
