Chapter 6, please start by introducing the cheapest option

Hmm?

Hearing the list of expenses presented by the other party, Aaron's heart suddenly trembled

Executives may disregard Aaron, but they cannot overlook Bismarck, as the latter's potential undoubtedly promises significant future achievements

6931, such a simple number, yet it signifies the accumulation of a salary worker's sustenance over two to three years without eating or drinking

A single remark from the receptionist immediately drew the attention of the surrounding young men and women towards Aaron, who then looked at him with expressions of "sympathy". After all, Aaron was not without strength; it was just that life had not lent him a hand at this most critical moment.

Who let this guy in

Could you possibly lower the price a bit

How much is 220,000, equivalent to 220,000 foreign currency units

A strong aura of European style

As for money, well, 600, 900, 300, 100, for these scions of naval aristocracy, it is merely an expense incurred by their parents on a whim during a single extravagant outing

What did that person just say, the best?

A country bumpkin, unexpectedly able to gain the favor of Bismarck, this fellow must undoubtedly be a European

Of course, such a roar was perfectly concealed in the receptionist's heart, and he spoke: "You have excellent grades, very good, therefore, you can apply for the best ship girl."

Is that boy's academic performance very high

One cannot say it that way, after all, they have passed the examination and are self-funded

It is a great honor that three years ago, our governor's office welcomed a pair of sister ships, which are the S-class ship girls. In other words, based on your achievements, you are eligible to apply for the S-class ship girls

Let us make a simple conversion here

The total amounts to 229,500 foreign currency units

... ...

After hearing the receptionist's words, Aaron felt somewhat awkward; after all, how should one put it

Due to the small population and the emphasis placed by the governor's office on the admiral examination, the examination results were quickly compiled and sent to the governor's office. After discussions among a large group of executives from the Pacific region, the letter sent by the governor relieved them of any further concerns regarding this matter

Aaron is a commoner, and all his money has been saved from doing odd jobs since he was young. He knows that applying for an initial ship girl requires a deposit, and he understands that this resource is quite burdensome for him. However, he did not realize that it would be this heavy! 220,000! How could a boy who has just turned eighteen possibly have that much money!

He is the self-funded candidate, isn't he

This is the payment station. After you make your payment here, you will be able to search for your ship girls.

600, 900, 300, 100, is it just a large construction formula? Does he not even have this little money?

The best

As soon as the words were spoken, many people quickly dispersed

Do you want to apply

Of course, the admiral has strengths and weaknesses, and the ship girls naturally do as well. The receptionist said: You should know that the ship girls are beings summoned from the subworld gate of the shipyard using a vast amount of resources, inheriting the souls of warships from another world.

This has also relieved many people

Unlike Aaron, these young men and women are students of the Admiral Academy, and most of them come from prestigious naval families, with at least one parent being an admiral. Therefore, they are very familiar with the work of an admiral, which is a significant difference from Aaron, who has only read about it in books and possesses only theoretical knowledge

The price of a ship girl can be imagined as the cost of an apartment in this world

How much does a barrel of fuel cost? Assuming the worst case, it should be fine at 100 yuan. Therefore, for 600 barrels, that amounts to 60,000 yuan. Additionally, for ammunition, with 900 boxes at 100 yuan per box, it would also cost 90,000 yuan. Adding the last two, it totals 220,000 yuan. In fact, the governor's office is already operating at a significant loss.

Indeed, he brought money, but the amount he has on him is simply insufficient to cover such a vast array of resources. This is merely the standard payment for the initial ship girls. As for the resources required after becoming a commander to care for the ship girls, including deployment, repairs, supplies, and expeditions, the costs are astronomical

What is the use of high talent? In the future, when we go to war, we will need to spend money everywhere. Without resources to support us, we could be struck down by the deep sea at any moment

Commoners cannot become admirals, not due to a lack of talent, but because they have already lost at the starting line.

Money is needed here, money is needed there, but what Aaron lacks the most right now is money

She is merely an initial ship girl, just the first ship girl of the admiral, yet she is enough to drive one to bankruptcy. Aaron struggled to force a smile, compelling himself to ignore the discussions and gazes of those around him, and instead spoke to the receptionist: "May I ask, is this the cost for all ship girls?"

"Um, this score, is it a bit..." Until this moment, the receptionist's computer finally received the results of Aaron from the governor's office. Suddenly, the receptionist felt as if their worldview had collapsed: "Are you kidding me? This score, it shouldn't be so obvious even if you're cheating, come on!"

220,000

Excuse me, in the final step of retreating, this is not Aaron's style: "If we convert these resources into foreign currency, how much would it be?"

Aaron works part-time, and after deducting his living expenses and the costs of taking care of his sister, he can only save a little over 1,000 yuan a month. Even if he works tirelessly for ten years, he would only have saved over 60,000 yuan. For an ordinary person, a ship girl is nothing short of a tremendous burden, as both steel and aluminum are considered luxury items for an average household.

Indeed, after expressing his opinion, Aaron immediately noticed that the previously hostile gazes had vanished, which relieved him: "As for the expensive ship girls, no matter how good they are, there's no need for an introduction. I don't have much money, so please start with the cheapest ones."

And this is a loss that no officer of the Pacific Navy can bear

Self-funded candidates, does this mean that all the content is self-studied? Can one achieve sufficient scores to obtain the best ship girl through this?

Of course not! The receptionist explained: "Depending on the rank of the admiral, the available ship girls for application vary. The better the exam results, the higher the application threshold becomes, and you..."

Hastily turning around, Aaron expressed his aspirations to everyone: "I have only this little money in total, and even if I were to successfully apply for an epic ship girl, I wouldn't be able to afford to support her!"

"No, no, no." Aaron waved his hands repeatedly, "This glorious opportunity should be given to someone else."

Originally, they intended to assign Bismarck to a distinguished descendant of a naval noble family, but the current issue is that Bismarck, who has always adhered to the serious and regulated nature of German shipgirls, unexpectedly displayed intense resistance. It can be anticipated that if the navy forces the issue again, the Pacific front may very well lose the powerful shipgirl Bismarck.

Moreover, even if she is an S-rank ship girl, so what? Haven't you heard of the saying "possessing a treasure brings trouble"? Aaron is just an ordinary person. If he really relies on his good grades to apply for an epic ship girl, let's not even mention whether he can gather the funds. If he truly receives one, what will those prestigious naval families, who have long been eyeing these two deities, do? How will they deal with Aaron?

Exactly, exactly

I am still young, and I have an older sister at home to take care of, and I do not want to die so early!

Ah, a typical European demeanor

10 million

The role of a commander is, in simple terms, to provide for the family and take good care of the chosen ship girls. This is the most important task that a commander must undertake

Furthermore, Aaron never aspired to make a remarkable impression; he simply did his utmost, and that is all there is to it

Although it is uncertain how the governor will handle this matter, it does not affect the admirals from paying a visit to this future Oti

Fuel 600 barrels, ammunition 900 boxes, steel 300 units, aluminum 100 units

Then, if he also comes to the academy...

As a commoner, how wealthy do you hope he can become

Clearly, my family's Helen is also very cute, but why do I feel like I am actually African when compared to this guy

Raising his hands, the admiral wore an innocent expression: "Hey, hey, don't go, by the way, I, I only have Helen..."

He performed very well in his exams, but Aaron was not happy, as he recalled the receptionist's words: "Is there a difference among initial ship girls?"

How many dollars does it cost to obtain an S-rank ship girl

Fifty times just now

According to the different types of inherited warships, they can be classified into five major categories: aircraft carriers, submarines, battleships, cruisers, and destroyers. He said: "The most outstanding ship girls are those that truly existed in the history of the sub-world, known as epic ship girls, which we collectively refer to as S-class. Among the tens of thousands of ship girls that currently exist, there are only a few hundred of such ship girls, distributed across various corners of the world, owned by countless great admirals."

After all, if this ship girl were just an ordinary one, even without a name, then matters would be quite simple. However, Bismarck does have a name, and she is a renowned ship girl in the alternate world history

What a joke, 10 million, selling Aaron ten times over wouldn't even raise that much money

Aaron's voice was not loud, but in this spacious reception hall, it stood out particularly, especially the phrase "Can you make it cheaper?" which attracted the attention of countless people. In an instant, this group of young boys and girls, who were about to be promoted to official admirals, began to discuss among themselves.

Early in the morning, after completing a multitude of formalities, Aaron was brought into the Ship Girl Academy. Unbeknownst to him, many officers were watching him, and of course, the faces of almost everyone bore the two characters—Non-Tei!

No wonder I have been feeling this overwhelming aura since just now

The receptionist was an Asian in his twenties. He leaned forward, glanced at Aaron at the counter, and then looked at the application form, noticing the words "self-funded candidate".

In the case of ship girls, whether they are initial ship girls or those constructed through major builds, all require expenditure. The only distinction lies in the fact that the costs for the latter can be determined at will, whereas for the former, one must adhere to the requirements of the governor's office to summon the chosen ship girls from the annals of the sub-world's history. Throughout the period until leaving the ship girl academy, all expenses incurred by the governor's office must be fully covered.
