Chapter 572 Mental Breakthrough and Meta

The punishment for the defeated lasted until sunset, and in order to prevent Akagi from noticing, Lin Lan took another shower after the battle.

After all, both Akagi and Taiho were very sensitive to his smell and might smell it on him.

After he came out of the bathroom in Ayanami's dormitory after taking a shower, he found that the four cute Sakura warship girls had curled up in the bed and fell asleep.

Even when they were asleep, they still had happy and satisfied smiles on their faces, even Ayanami was the same, so cute.

Such a warm scene made Lin Lan smile and did not choose to wake up the four little ones.

After gently covering them with the quilt, Lin Lan carefully left the room.

He was going to the cafeteria to bring them dinner. After all, they were not like him, who could recover their energy so quickly after a high-intensity exercise with all their heart and soul.

"Well, if they were on the battlefield, they would definitely not fall asleep like this."

As Lin Lan walked towards the cafeteria, he thought secretly with the help of the clear mind brought by the sage time.

He has discovered that although his ship girls are extremely strong in both mental strength and will, they are no different from ordinary human girls in daily life.

If it is not a time when high-intensity combat is required, it is normal to sleep like this when tired.

Thinking of this, a term suddenly popped up in Lin Lan's mind:

"Mind breakthrough...?"

He whispered this word, and he has heard this word from Siren more than once.

Whether it is the builder in the virtual world or Sterncus in Huanyang City, it seems that his ship girls are ships after the mind breakthrough.

In the game, after the level of the ship girls reaches level 100, they can no longer continue to upgrade as before.

And for the ship girls to break through the current level limit, he, as the commander, needs to manually click the "cognitive awakening" button on the ship girl experience bar.

In addition to consuming materials, cognitive awakening also requires the consumption of special props called mind units.

After the ship girls reach level 120, the special props required for cognitive awakening to break through the level limit are mind units II.

Because it is very difficult to obtain, Mind Unit II is also called a planning heirloom by many players.

However, he no longer needs to use Mind Units for his ship girls. Those are a thing of the past for him.

But now, after experiencing several dreams of the original world from Osta's perspective, he gradually recalled many game settings that he had forgotten.

He vaguely remembered that Mind Breakthrough would make the ship girls more and more like humans, and they would also have more human-like emotions and gain extra power.

This can be reflected in the fact that the ship girls in the game can increase their level cap after cognitive awakening.

But in contrast to Mind Breakthrough, Meta will make the ship girls gradually evolve towards their original bodies, that is, the side of being a "weapon".

Although the meta ship girls will gain more powerful power than the mind breakthrough, this process is only achieved after experiencing pain and despair.

In this process, the ship girls will gradually lose their emotions and reason. Once they reach the critical point of over-meta, they will become outright killing monsters.

After his meta-ship girls joined the port and swore an oath with him, their meta-ization was effectively curbed and they would not meta-ize further.

However, they could not return to their original appearance after all, and could only adapt to those meta energies.

"I don't know how they are doing outside the world now, and whether Enterprise Meta has led them to escape the blockade of the arbitration agency."

Lin Lan sighed softly as he walked along the corridor towards the cafeteria.

Since the battle of the singularity point in Huanyang City, he has no way to contact Helena Meta and Enterprise Meta to inquire about their current situation.

Based on the previous communication with Black Sea Mother, he can probably analyze that Black Sea Mother is also in Liaozhou and is still looking for something.

"Speaking of which, the Demon King Army Big Eye Monster Abbott should be numbered AL-05 in the Oran Experimental Field, but why is there no permission to view the detailed content in the experimental list of the experimental agency provided by Ariel?"

In the Oran United States Siren Experiment List provided by Ariel to him and the White Eagle Ship Girls, there was no information about the Demon King Army monster at all.

He was not worried about Abbot's strength at all. Not to mention the Sakura Empire's shipgirls, he could already kill Abbot alone with so many skills unlocked in the hero skill column.

But the problem was, as a member of the Demon King's Army, what secrets did Abbot have that made the Sirens pay so much attention to him?

Even the system of the experimental agency had such a high degree of blocking authority for this?

Combining what Helena meta was looking for with the Demon King's Army whose information was blocked by the Sirens, he seriously suspected that the two might have some kind of connection.

In addition, the people in charge of the nine islands in Liaozhou were the Clearers and Purifiers...

Forget it, facing these two stupid high-level Sirens is better than facing the sinister testers, cunning observers and meticulous builders.

He only hoped that Helena meta would take the initiative to contact him during his time in Liaozhou.

He had to ask Helena meta about the bunch of inexplicable words that Steljunus said to him at that time.

When he thought of this, he also walked into the Sakura dining hall where he had eaten barbecue at noon.

There were no other Sakura shipgirls eating in the Sakura dining hall on the second floor at this time, so Lin Lan asked the chefs who came to greet him to make some Sakura dishes on the spot.

While waiting for the chefs to pack the dishes, he walked to the window of the dining hall and looked at the ocean outside.

At this time, the boundless ocean had been reflected by the orange-red light of the setting sun in the clear sky, making the originally blue waves glow with orange spots.

However, the land had long disappeared, leaving only the vast sea level.

He looked behind the mass-produced destroyer he was on, and several mass-produced destroyers that were moving steadily were marching in formation behind him.

Several carrier-based aircraft were circling in the gradually darkening sunset sky. I think they were released by Shokaku and Zuikaku for reconnaissance.

I don’t know if the experimental agency really gave up all the experiments of the Orlan United States and lifted the blockade. Today they did not encounter any attacks from the Siren fleet.

Before, whether he was in the West Continent or the East Continent, whenever he sailed in the ocean, he would always encounter an ambush by the fearless Siren mass-produced fleet.

Of course, he and the ship girls had long been accustomed to that kind of ambush. After all, in the early main map development of the game, such ambushes were commonplace.

At least now his ship girls' radars and reconnaissance aircraft can detect those ambushed Siren mass-produced fleets in advance, and it is no longer completely a matter of luck.

"It's rare that I didn't encounter a Siren attack today, and this should be the first time I left Oran after crossing."

Lin Lan whispered to himself in the cool sea breeze. He had begun to imagine what it would be like in the Liaozhou Nine Island City, which was almost entirely inhabited by sub-humans.
