Elder brother's garrison

Back at the room door, New Jersey pushed it open.

In the room, Iowa sat on the edge of the bed, while Wisconsin was lying on Iowa's lap playing on her phone.

"Oh, New Jersey, you're back? Has the Admiral finished replacing your runes?" Iowa smiled slightly as she looked at New Jersey as he entered.

"Okay." New Jersey nodded. "Sis, I want to play Ludo."

"Ludo?"

"What?! Someone's playing Ludo?!" Wisconsin jumped out of bed upon hearing this, her eyes blazing with fighting spirit. She shook her phone violently in mid-air. "Count me in! Count me in! Kill them all! I'll wash away this stain with blood!"

"Why are you guys in such a good mood today, New Jersey?" Iowa covered her mouth and chuckled. "Well... but it's alright. I'm not very good at Ludo. If you don't mind that I'm not very good, I'll play with you guys for a bit."

"Charge!" Wisconsin pulled an unopened box of flying chess pieces from her ship's storage space. "Chess here! I've been waiting for this day for so long!!! I will definitely return to the Land Chess God Realm today!"

……

The Iowa-class room was instantly filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

The night was long.

This night.

Any ship girl passing by Shiro's room can see the strange sight of Abyssal Yamato biting a handkerchief, sitting next to Missouri with a look of envy, jealousy, and hatred, holding Shiro tightly in her arms.

Then, just as the passing ship girls were wondering what had happened in Shiro's room, they were quickly drawn to Wisconsin's heartbroken and bewildered wailing coming from Iowa's room not far away.

"Why—why are you still number one?!!!!"

"This was supposed to be a game of luck!! I want to win first place just once!!!"

"What a terrible game!!"

"One more plate, please!"

……

Whenever the passing ship girls heard this, they would smile knowingly.

I've really added a naval base that I'm never lonely with.

Chapter 1643, Section Eight: Difficulties and Perils

Having lost the deep-sea territory of the super-Yamato, it's like a frail woman stripped of her clothes, utterly powerless against the iron hooves of the top ten naval bases.

Five days after the victory celebration, under the relentless bombardment of the fleets of the top ten naval bases for more than a week, the reserves of abyssal energy within the abyssal territory could no longer sustain the rapid regeneration and demands of the abyssal ships. It began to run into deficit and became unsustainable. Finally, under the fleets' barrage of fire like fireworks, the vast abyssal territory collapsed.

The dark clouds dissipated.

It restored a clear and bright sea and a bright and clear world.

The disappearance of the deep-sea territory does not mean that the aura of the deep sea has disappeared, but at least with the disappearance of the deep-sea territory, the strength of the deep-sea ships that appeared in this sea area has returned to a normal level, and no new deep-sea deans will be produced in the short term. Even without troubling the top ten naval bases, with the strength of the Ella family, they only need to recruit a few high-level naval bases in the surrounding area to clean up the area regularly, and this sea area will return to its safest initial state.

The mission of the top ten admirals ended the moment the deep-sea territory vanished.

The day after the deep-sea territory disappeared.

As dawn broke and the streets were still shrouded in a chilly darkness, the top ten admirals had already packed their bags and led their respective naval fleets to the gate of the Ship Equipment Research Center, amidst a collective farewell from Grandpa Ella and the Ella family staff.

"We, the entire family, will never forget the kindness of all the admirals who have come from all corners of the country to support us and protect our safety!" At the entrance of the Ship Equipment Research Center, Grandpa Ella smiled and shook the hands of Admirals Zhao Kuo and Hao Ding vigorously. "If there is anything we can do to help you in the future, please don't hesitate to ask us. As long as I have a breath left, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!"

"You're too kind, sir. The one who contributed the most this time was Admiral Lu Lin. We were only responsible for some minor finishing touches. We really don't deserve your thanks," Admiral Zhao Kuo said, bowing deeply with a humble expression.

"Hahahaha!" Admiral Haoding laughed and nodded. "Then I'll add one!"

"Not at all, not at all. Contributions are divided into large and small. Admiral Lu Lin is indeed the most outstanding one, but how could this operation be established without the admirals?" Grandpa Ella said with a smile to the two male admirals. "The two admirals should not underestimate themselves."

Grandpa Ella released the hands of Admiral Haoding and Admiral Zhao Kuo, looked at Little White standing in the middle of the group, and lingered on Loki next to Little White for a while.

Although Loki is still wearing Ella's maid outfit, he is now a member of the newbie naval base, so he naturally stands next to Shiro.

Grandpa Ella nodded with a smile.

"Admiral Lu Lin, come visit often when you have time," Grandpa Ella said with a kind smile to Little White.

"Yes, I will." Xiaobai nodded with a smile.

"Loki!" A soft golden light flashed, and Ella jumped out from beside her grandfather, threw herself into Loki's arms, took his hand, and smiled at him with golden eyes, "When we see you again next time, remember to tell me about all the fun things that happened with Little White!"

“Yes, Miss.” Loki stroked Ella’s head, his gaze slightly shifting, and said to Ella, “…Miss, you must take good care of yourself too.”

"Hehe, I will!" Ella released Loki, put her hands behind her back, and approached Little White, baring her teeth at him. "Little White, can I come to your naval base to play with you guys next time?"

“Of course, I’ll always welcome Ella,” Xiaobai said with a smile.

"Yay! That's great!" Ella jumped up and down excitedly.

The underground factory couldn't be left unattended for long. After the workers who came up to the surface bid farewell and thanked the top ten admirals in an orderly fashion, shook hands and gave gifts, they returned to the underground one after another.

"Admiral Lu Lin." After the staff of the Ella family left, Admiral Zhao Kuo and the other admirals came to Xiao Bai.

"Hmm? Admiral Zhao Kuo, is there something you need from me?" Xiaobai was discussing the next plan with the ship girls when she saw Admiral Zhao Kuo and the others gathering around her, so she asked curiously.

"Admiral Lu Lin, regarding the settlement of this deep-sea operation... ahem." Admiral Zhao Kuo and the other admirals exchanged glances, pulled out a notebook from behind his back, and said to Xiao Bai, "At the end of the operation, our faction had six fleets from our six naval bases—myself, Admiral Hao Ding, Admiral Lian, Admiral Ling, Admiral Nan Xing, and Admiral Li Hua—sweep through large deep-sea territories, seizing a total of 126,542 pieces of high-quality deep-sea metal. According to the old rules of our admiral community, those who didn't contribute have no right to a share, therefore Admiral Mu Naige and Admiral Duan Shuiliu are not entitled to a share of this deep-sea metal..."

"Oh... well, there's nothing we can do about it, since we didn't contribute anything." Xiaobai nodded understandingly.

"Well, then there's the matter concerning Admiral Lu Lin." Admiral Zhao Kuo said to Xiao Bai with a complicated expression, "It's like this, although the newbie naval base didn't deploy any troops during this sweep of the deep-sea territory, we all know that if it weren't for Admiral Lu Lin repelling the deep-sea deity's surprise attack on land and sending an advance team to sink the deep-sea deity, we would never have had the opportunity to sweep through the deep-sea territory so easily—so we unanimously believe that this deep-sea metal should be divided among your naval base, Admiral Lu Lin's, 70%."

"Huh? Seventy percent?" Xiaobai exclaimed in surprise, quickly waving her hand. "No, no need, let's forget it..."

Xiao Bai had indeed considered that the top ten admirals might share some of the deep-sea metal with him, but he never expected that the proportion they would give him would be so high.

Xiao Bai originally thought that it would be good to take only one or two percent as a symbolic gesture, but when Admiral Zhao Kuo gave him seventy percent in one go, Xiao Bai was terrified.

Xiao Bai was indeed quite embarrassed.

Although in the eyes of the top ten admirals, Xiaobai acted very selflessly and generously in this event, only Xiaobai himself knew that he was the one who benefited the most from this event.

after all.

Not only did Xiaobai obtain the illustrations of three Abyssal Masters—Super Yamato, Abyssal Ryujo, and Loki—in one go, but half of the Abyssal Master metal from Abyssal Ryujo and Super Yamato has already ended up in Xiaobai's stomach. Xiaobai was already quite satisfied that the top ten admirals hadn't asked him for a share of Super Yamato's Abyssal metal; now that they were giving him such a large amount of Abyssal metal, even Xiaobai himself felt he had gone too far.

That's how you should be a person.

Leave room for maneuver in everything, so that you can meet again in the future.

"Admiral Lu Lin, we sincerely believe that your performance deserves 70% of the deep-sea metal."

"No...don't do this, I feel so embarrassed..." Xiaobai smiled wryly, "Don't give me so much, I can't accept it..."

"Admiral Lu Lin..."

"Hmm... how about this? I don't want the deep-sea metal. You can keep it, and you can exchange it for up to 50% of the corresponding merit points." Xiao Bai said to Admiral Zhao Kuo, deliberately raising his hand in a serious manner. "If you still don't agree to this, then I won't take a single penny."

“This…” Zhao Kuo was taken aback. He exchanged glances with the other top ten admirals and nodded with a sigh, “Alright then.”

The deep-sea metals produced in the deep-sea territory are of extremely high quality compared to other deep-sea metals. Although they cannot compare to the mass-produced deep-sea dean metals in Xiaobai's ship equipment space, they are still high-grade items with extremely high collection and use value. Exchanging such items for merit points would definitely be a huge loss for any of the top ten naval bases that already have overflowing merit points. Xiaobai's request is actually to give as much benefit as possible to the top ten naval bases and leave them with the most substantial gains.

Those present were all from the top ten naval districts. They had seen Xiaobai's choice and naturally understood it. So after Xiaobai finished speaking, all the admirals looked at him with even more sincere admiration.

The allocation of deep-sea metals ended quickly after Xiaobai spoke.

"Admiral Lu Lin, do you remember what we talked about before?" Admiral Hao Ding asked Xiao Bai while the other admirals were discussing the harvest.

"Yes, I remember." Xiaobai nodded to Admiral Haoding, but smiled apologetically. "Well... Admiral Haoding, I might not be able to go there to find you right away, because I have a few urgent matters to attend to here..."

"Hahaha! It's alright, it's alright! Admiral Lu Lin, please rest assured—or rather, Admiral Lu Lin, please don't be anxious." Admiral Haoding waved his hand without any concern. "This mission is extremely difficult, and it's not a great achievement that can be accomplished in a day. I hope that you, Admiral Lu Lin, can rest for a while in the naval base, make preparations in terms of information and combat strength, take good care of your ship girls, and then face this mission with the best momentum and without any worries! So please go and do your own thing first!"

"I see... Ah, thank you, Admiral Haoding." Xiaobai smiled gratefully at Admiral Haoding.

"Then, Admiral Lu Lin, I'll take my naval base to the target area and wait for you!" Admiral Hao Ding grinned at Xiao Bai, showing his bright white teeth, and led his naval base at a gallop towards the station. In the blink of an eye, only thick smoke remained on the horizon.

Xiao Bai silently watched the back of Admiral Hao Ding.

Suddenly silent.

The USB drive that Admiral Haoding gave to Xiaobai contained information about the development of Chapter 8 was something she hadn't had time to look at these past few days because she was quite busy, so she wasn't clear about the current status of Chapter 8.

but.

For such a reckless Admiral Haoding to say something like "be prepared before you go"... it seems that Chapter 8 is indeed unexpectedly difficult.

P.S.: Actually...

The first round between Missouri and Little White...

It's not that I don't want to write

I just don't dare to write it (sad).

Chapter 1644 The Miraculous Goddess of the Hearth

Admiral Haoding came and went in a hurry.

After watching Admiral Haoding and his garrison disappear at the end of the street, Xiaobai reached into his pocket and quietly grasped the black USB drive that he had kept inside for the past few days.

The development of Chapter Eight is of great importance, and therefore a highly confidential task. Since Xiaobai doesn't have a personal computer at Ella's house, and it's inconvenient for him to view the contents of the USB drive, detailed information about Chapter Eight will have to wait until he returns to the naval base.

However, just as Xiaobai said to Admiral Haoding.

Compared to the exploration of Chapter 8, Xiaobai is now more concerned about the mysterious supply ship, Vestal, that came to Ella's house twenty years ago and gave Loki the Deep Sea Aura Shield Bracelet.

Chapter 1645 The drying up of the deep-sea aura is indeed a major problem that will affect the future of mankind, but after all, it is a problem that will only slowly appear after more than ten or even several decades. Compared with such a long period of time, the pioneering of Chapter 8 is not much different from ten or half a month. Xiaobai is more willing to meet the mysterious supply ship girl, the Hearth Goddess, before considering the pioneering of Chapter 8.

After all, the deep-sea aura shielding device is the foundation for a newbie naval base.

Xiaobai wasn't in a hurry before because she didn't know who gave Loki the Deep Sea Aura Shield Bracelet. Even if she was anxious, it wouldn't have mattered. Now that she knows the name of that ship girl, it's only natural to prioritize this matter.

"Sister Naige, mua! I'll be waiting for you!"

"Sister Naige, you must come visit our naval base next time!"

Just as Xiaobai was deep in thought, Admiral Lian and Admiral Ling waved goodbye to Chairman Er Gou with reluctance.

"Next time, next time for sure! Sister Er Gou has never lied to you! Bye-bye~" President Er Gou waved a handkerchief to say goodbye to Admiral Lian and Admiral Ling, and walked to Xiao Bai's side.

"And Lu Lin, I look forward to seeing you next time~"

"Looking forward to it!"

Admiral Lian and Admiral Ling did not seem to have given up on Xiaobai, and they also waved to Xiaobai.

"Ha ha……"

Xiao Bai chuckled dryly and waved to Admiral Lian and Admiral Ling, watching the two female admirals lead their naval base towards the end of the street.

"Sigh, thanks to my efforts, there are two fewer lolicon in this world, and thousands of destroyers can finally have some peace." After Admiral Lian and Admiral Ling left, President Er Gou looked at their backs with a melancholy expression, looked up at the sky, and muttered to himself, "...I really am a kind person."

"...President, you...you're so close to Admiral Lian and Admiral Ling that you visit each other's homes?" Xiaobai looked at President Ergou's profile and sighed.

"Hey, we're all adults, it's all just playing along. Who knows when we adults will say 'next time' is hundreds of years in the future?" President Er Gou shrugged, hugged Helena tightly, and said to Xiao Bai with a serious face, revealing her true nature as a scumbag woman, "Let me tell you, Helena is definitely the best in this world."

"……"noob.

"Admiral, you're feeding Admiral Lu Lin some weird theories again." Helena grabbed the hand of the Second Dog Guild Leader with a helpless look and said to him, "Admiral, if you keep acting so frivolous, I'm going to tattle on you to Miss Lexington."

"Wow, no way..." When President Er Gou heard the name Lexington, he trembled all over, as if he had seen his nemesis.

"noob."

Seeing how lively things were on Xiaobai's side, Nanxing and Duan Shuiliu came over before leaving.

"Sister Nanxing, Sister Duan, are you leaving too?" Xiaobai ignored the Second Dog President who was being lectured by Helena next to him and smiled at Nanxing and Duan Shuiliu.

"Okay. There are other requests at the naval base, so I need to go back early." Nanxing said, handing a notebook to Xiaobai.

"Hmm? Sister Nanxing, what is this...?"

Xiao Bai took the notebook, curiously opened it, and looked at it carefully.

The notebook was filled with neat, elegant black characters, with gold light shimmering on them, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, radiating a strange brilliance.

These are runic fonts.

"These are the runes I've learned these past few days," Nanxing said to Xiaobai.

"Ah...as expected." Xiaobai's eyes lit up, and she handed the notebook back to Nanxing, giving Admiral Nanxing an admiring smile. "As expected of Sister Nanxing, the runes she writes are all so beautiful and distinctive."

Of the top ten admirals, only Nanxing accepted Grandpa Ella's request to learn the runic language. It seems that Admiral Nanxing has put in a lot of effort these past two days.

"Thank you." Nanxing took the notebook, hugged it to her chest, and stared at Xiaobai in a daze. "Although I don't write as well as you... I will try my best."

"Hahaha..." Xiaobai scratched his head sheepishly and looked at Duan Shuiliu, "Sister Duan, do you also have something to do at the military police station?"

"Yeah. I need to go back early too." Duan Shuiliu nodded. "After all, I wasn't much of a help in this event."

"No way, Sister Duan, you've always been very helpful in giving us advice," Xiao Bai said with a smile. "We, the top ten admirals, are all very grateful to have you, Sister Duan."
