"Ahem, she is from the dwarf tribe. She is not a minor, she is older than us.
However, the dwarves seem to be born with a relatively immature mentality, and coupled with their short and slender appearance, they look like children." Zhao Chen explained.
Shen Bing carefully observed the 'little girl' in front of her. Her ears were slightly pointed and her head was slightly larger in proportion to her body.
It does match the description in the book about the interstellar race and the dwarves.
"Commander... Your Majesty...!" Only then did Annie notice Zhao Chen next to her, and immediately saluted to Zhao Chen.
She first imitated the female Xiaolong crew member, putting her hands on her chest.
But it didn’t feel right, so I bowed to Zhao Chen again. www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm
The busy look made Zhao Chen feel very cute.
"You can't see, let me help you." Zhao Chen put his hands under Annie's arms and easily lifted the dwarf up.
Anne's cheeks were slightly red and she kept saying: "No... no need... Anne... Anne... wait until there are less people... you can order more..."
"You've seen it now, so hurry up." Zhao Chen said with a smile.
Annie looked at today's menu projected holographically on the dining table and quickly ordered a braised chicken set meal.
Only then did Zhao Chen put the dwarf down.
"Thank you... thank you... Commander... Your Excellency..." Anne kept bowing and thanking her, her head like a rattle.
After Zhao Chen asked Annie to find a seat to wait for the meal, Annie left, otherwise her head would probably be shaking.
Annie found a seat in the corner, and then adjusted the seat height to the lowest position with ease. After sitting on it, she raised the seat height to a height suitable for the dining table.
She began to shake her short legs, waiting for the happiest moment every day.
Shen Bing and Zhao Chen stared at this little guy for a long time before coming back to their senses. They looked at each other and understood each other tacitly.
"How did you find this dwarf? I saw on her neck..." Shen Bing asked.
"I bought it on the commodity trading network of the Northern Galaxy III. It happened to be the escaped woman who was kidnapped from a planet and sold.
I bought it." Zhao Chen said.
Shen Bing looked at Zhao Chen and then at the sumptuous daily menu: "Why do you set such high meal standards, even if you purchase these natural ingredients in large quantities at low prices and process them yourself.
Just for the personnel on such an aircraft carrier and starship, the consumables spent on it in a month exceed thousands of star coins!
It has far exceeded the meal standards of 99% of starships!”
Zhao Chen shrugged and said lightly: "I just give my crew better living conditions so that they can fight for me more diligently."
Shen Bing looked surprised. He really didn't care about the consumption in this area.
His idea is really out of place in this era.
"Your order is ready, let's go over there and wait for the meal." Zhao Chen invited Shen Bing to go to a table and wait for the meal.
"What are your future plans after graduating from the Northern Starship Military Academy? Join the Imperial Army?" Zhao Chen chatted.
Generally, 80% of the talents trained by the Starfleet Military Academy join the Imperial Army with mixed qualifications. After retirement, they will join the lord fleets in various places.
Basically, it is a social class that has no worries about clothing and food, but if you want to be rich and wealthy, you have to look at your own destiny.
"I will never join the Imperial Army." Shen Bing said.
Zhao Chen was a little surprised, but he quickly thought of the reason: "Is it because of your parents?"
Shen Bing remained silent.
"Would you like to talk to me about your parents?" Zhao Chen asked tentatively.
Shen Bing remained silent.
Seeing this, Zhao Chen did not ask further: "Since you are unwilling to join the imperial army, have you considered joining my fleet?"
"Are you inviting me?" Shen Bing looked at Zhao Chen in surprise.
Zhao Chen spread his hands and said with a smile: "You have also seen the strength of my fleet and the treatment of the fleet.
If you want, you can start directly from the positions of deputy captain, starship adjutant, secretary, etc.
If the original crew members on your starship are qualified, they can also join my fleet and enjoy the same treatment.
Of course, only female crew members; don’t ask why.”
Shen Bing chuckled and shook his head: "If you want to recruit them, you don't need to go through me, just tell them directly, and they will most likely follow you."
As he said that, Shen Bing looked at the dining table where his female crew members were sitting, and the food had already been served.
Each one of them looked like they hadn't eaten in decades, and started gobbling them up without caring about their appearance.
"What I value is your value." Zhao Chen pointed at Shen Bing.
Shen Bing remained silent.
"I'll give you time to think about it, but it won't be too long." Zhao Chen said.
He cherishes Shen Bing's talent, but if Shen Bing is not willing, Zhao Chen will not force it.
After all, he will only stay at the Northern Starship Military Academy until the end of this year.
The food was brought up, Shen Bing's was a dumpling.
Shen Bing picked up a dumpling and looked at it with a complicated expression.
She heard her grandma mention dumplings. Her grandma ate three dumplings once when she was a child.
But it was a taste that grandma would never forget in her life.
She and her sister were in front of her grandma's hospital bed, listening to her grandma narrate this, and her sister vowed to let her grandma and sister taste this taste again.
If she joins Zhao Chen's Xiaolong fleet, will her grandmother and sister be able to eat this delicious food?
Shen Bing's heart was shaken.
Shen Bing chewed the dumplings in her mouth, the taste surging on her taste buds. She had never eaten anything so delicious.
Half a bowl of dumplings was eaten unconsciously, and she raised her head and looked to the opposite side.
Zhao Chen had left at some point, and was looking at his other female crew members. Some were savoring the taste of the food, and some had red and swollen eyes. It looked like they had cried.
Shen Bing was slightly thoughtful.
Zhao Chen returned to the bridge.
"Commander, the battle report for this battle has been compiled." Secretary Lilith stood beside Zhao Chen.
"Say." Zhao Chen said.
"The T2 Queen Bee-class heavy aircraft carrier starship consumed 93% of ammunition and supplies, and the loss of interstellar drones reached 68%. The T2 Killer Bee-class medium-sized interstellar drone and the T2 Hornet-class heavy interstellar drone were all destroyed, leaving only the T2 small
Bee-class light interstellar drone.
Among the other five T2 Black Rhino class interstellar heavily armored assault frigates, one ship's hull armor was seriously damaged and needs to be returned to port for repairs.
The damage to the remaining four ships is still within the acceptable range. Even if they are not repaired, there should be no problem in returning home.
It can be repaired on our T2 Hammer-class heavy-duty interstellar industrial ship, and the maintenance cost will be greatly reduced!
No one was killed, but a few were injured, but they have been accommodated.
And we have destroyed a total of one T3 mechanical starship and twenty-seven T2 mechanical starships." Lilith Hui reported.
Zhao Chen looked at these data and then at the fleet of interstellar transport ships he was escorting. A cold light flashed in his eyes: "This escort mission really gave me a big surprise. We need an explanation."
Lilith understood what the commander meant, there was something wrong with this mission.
