Elder brother's garrison

“Yes.” Xiaobai nodded.

"It looks like there's a lot of seafood here."

"What a treasure trove! Come to think of it, I remember there's someone here in charge of marine ecological surveys..."

"It's me! It's me! I'm a PhD in Oceanography!"

"What a coincidence, me too!"

"The fish bones in this bowl should be from the genus *Salmonella* in the family Serranidae. I caught some when I went to the Dongsha Islands with my supervisor for a research project last time, but those were much smaller than the ones in this bowl. This is the first time I've ever seen such big ones!"

"Huh? A grouper? Isn't that a protected animal?"

"The regulations concerning ecological protection do not apply to areas outside of human-controlled areas like Chapter Eight, so drink with confidence!"

"Holy crap! This bowl of fish soup would cost at least four figures in human society!"

"A simple bowl of fish soup can bring so many surprises; I can't wait to go to the beach!"

Among the dozen or so researchers, several with relevant expertise immediately began chatting enthusiastically.

The tent was immediately filled with a strong academic atmosphere.

Mu Yu, who was standing to the side, looked over at Xiao Bai.

"Little White Sister, let's go."

"Shouldn't we just ignore them?" Xiaobai asked curiously, pointing to the researchers inside the tent.

“They’re going to talk for hours on end,” Mu Yu shrugged. “They’ll contact us when they’ve rested enough and want to start their investigation.”

"Ah, that's right."

"Researchers, don't worry, they're probably the safest people in the world."

"Safety? What do you mean?"

"Don't let their youth fool you. They were among the first researchers to reach Chapter Eight, and they're considered top talents in the field. Little White, you don't recognize them simply because you're in different circles. To reach their level at this age, besides talent, it takes an extremely strong interest. So, their eyes are practically glued to research." Mu Yu said, pointing to the beautiful ship girls in the tent. "For example, look at you, Little White, even though your ship girls are so pretty, did they even glance at them?"

"Uh……"

Xiaobai, Muyu, and Linqin walked out of the tent.

Outside the tent, the valley was covered in ice and snow in winter.

Mu Yu stretched comfortably and breathed a sigh of relief at the scenery in the valley.

"Sigh... This is Chapter Eight. I never thought I'd have the chance to see this scenery in my lifetime," Mu Yu muttered to himself.

"The difficulty of clearing out this sea area is on a completely different level from the missions I've taken on before," Xiaobai said from the side.

"Hahaha! After all, it's the pioneering mission of Chapter 8!" Mu Yu laughed twice, then gave Xiaobai a thumbs up. "However, the rewards for completing the mission are also very generous. You should have already heard about the specific rewards from Admiral Haoding, right?"

"Hmm... repeat it again, let me see if I missed anything." Xiaobai thought for a while and tilted her head to say.

Chapter 2235 Talking big for a moment is fun

"Little White Sister, it feels like you've become more and more shrewd since I last saw you. Is it just my imagination?" Mu Yu looked at Little White in surprise, but still shook her head and repeated the story to Little White, "Hmm... but this reward isn't difficult to repeat. Because the reward is indeed very simple. As for how simple? It can be explained in just one sentence. Why can it be explained in just one sentence? Because the reward itself..."

"The reward for this mission is a permanent share of Chapter 8." Finally, Ringo couldn't stand Mu Yu's rambling anymore and interrupted his spellcasting. "As for the percentage of the share, that depends on how well the mission is completed."

“It really is this.” Xiaobai smiled and looked at Lin Qing. “It’s exactly the same as what Admiral Haoding said.”

"He wouldn't lie to you." Ringo looked at Shiro with gentle eyes.

It seems that Admiral Haoding has a very good reputation, both among the top ten admirals and among the higher-ups.

This is something beginners should learn.

"Hmm." Xiaobai nodded, then asked curiously, "So how exactly is the completion rate of this task determined?"

"I'll do this! I'll do this!" Mu Yu quickly raised her hand and started to answer. "There is naturally a complicated set of review standards for judging the completion of the task, but simply put, the stronger the enemy you defeat, the higher your share will be!"

"Oh, oh, oh, this is quite different from what Admiral Haoding said."

"He probably took the highest percentage as the reward. There's nothing wrong with that, but it still sounds like something that person would do." Mu Yu said, then belatedly looked at Xiao Bai, "Oh right, speaking of which, I just remembered, Xiao Bai, weren't you clearing Chapter 8 with Admiral Haoding? How come I haven't seen Admiral Haoding since we came to the base?"

“Ah…him…” Xiaobai looked at Muyu and Linqin and gave an awkward smile.

……

Xiao Bai led Mu Yu and Lin Qin to the place where Admiral Hao Ding was recuperating.

When the three arrived, Admiral Haoding was sitting on a chair outside enjoying the scenery. When he saw Xiaobai and the others, he grinned, revealing a row of snow-white teeth on his dark face.

"Oh! Aren't these Governor Muyu and Governor Linqin!"

Admiral Haoding stood up and greeted the three of them cheerfully. His bald head gleamed like a hard-boiled egg in the sunlight.

"..." Ringo stared wide-eyed, covering her mouth, in shock at the Admiral Haoding who looked like a completely different race.

"Who, who are you?" Mu Yu stared at Admiral Hao Ding in astonishment, standing there for a long time, too stunned to respond to his call.

"He is Admiral Haoding... Due to various reasons, his body was corrupted by the aura of the deep sea, so he has temporarily become like this." Xiaobai covered his head and explained to Mu Yu and Lin Qing.

"Deep-sea aura? Corrosion?"

"Yes... but I only did some emergency treatment for him..."

“Yes, emergency response…” Mu Yu looked down at Xiao Bai, then looked up in surprise and met the gaze of Admiral Hao Ding not far away.

"Yo!" Admiral Haoding's dark face revealed a row of exceptionally white teeth.

"Doctor!!! The accompanying doctor!!!! I remember there are medical students among the researchers!!!" Mu Yu immediately shouted at the top of her lungs, "Help! Help!!!"

……

Amidst Mu Yu's screams, which were comparable to those of a pig being slaughtered, the dark-skinned Admiral Haoding was escorted by the ship girls to the research institute's tent.

The researchers' tent was indeed equipped with advanced medical equipment. Upon seeing the lively but charred-black Admiral Haoding, the researchers quickly put him on the operating table. In an instant, all sorts of examination instruments were inserted into Admiral Haoding's body through tubes of various sizes. As the various pointers on the instruments spun rapidly, the researchers in the tent were also in a flurry of activity.

"The blood test showed that the concentration of deep-sea aura in the patient's body had reached an alarming 0.078 ml/l! My God, that's a lethal dose!"

What about the patient's vital signs?

"The patient's vital signs are all normal, lung capacity is excellent, and heartbeat is strong and powerful, but limb reflexes are slightly sluggish..."

"Quickly test your knee-jerk response!"

……

Researchers were coming and going inside the tent.

On the operating table, Admiral Haoding remained remarkably calm.

"Hey, actually I'm pretty healthy now. I'm a bit tanned, but I'm definitely still healthy!" Admiral Haoding shouted to Mu Yu outside the tent, holding up his arm covered in all sorts of tubes. "Governor Mu Yu, don't worry! Admiral Lu Lin's treatment was excellent! I'm out of danger now!"

At the tent entrance, Mu Yu covered his head, squatted on the ground, and listened to the voice coming from Admiral Haoding behind him.

"Admiral Haoding should be out of danger now." Xiaobai squatted down next to Mu Yu and said earnestly, "Although he looks a bit scary right now... his skin should return to normal after some time, yes, it definitely will!"

"Sigh... Well, at least I should get a full body checkup..." Mu Yu muttered to herself in annoyance, "At least after a professional test, I can get some health data... Otherwise, I won't be able to explain myself..."

"Huh? To report back? What does Admiral Haoding have to do with you, Mu Yu?"

"Little Bai, you don't know, Admiral Haoding is..." Mu Yu opened her mouth, about to speak.

"Ahem." Standing to the side, Ringo raised her hand and coughed lightly twice.

"...Sigh, anyway...sigh..." Mu Yu opened his mouth for a moment, then sighed helplessly and muttered to himself, "After all, he was one of the top ten admirals..."

Xiaobai looked at Ringo curiously.

“He’s fine. He should be,” Ringo said to Mu Yu.

"I hope so..." Mu Yu looked up and said helplessly.

Just then, the tent flap behind Mu Yu and Lin Qing was pulled open, and a female researcher came out holding a form.

"Doctor! What's the result?!" Mu Yu jumped up and asked the female researcher immediately.

The female researcher was startled by Mu Yu and took two steps back, but after seeing the tense expression on Mu Yu's face, she quickly said, "Ah... it's the captain... We've just done a preliminary examination of the patient's body. Apart from the blood test showing that his body contains a large amount of deep-sea energy, the patient's other bodily functions have not been affected in any way..."

"Oh, that's wonderful." Mu Yu was finally relieved when she heard this.

"Hahahaha! Governor Mu Yu, I told you so!" Admiral Hao Ding emerged from behind the female researcher, laughing heartily. He unplugged the various tubes attached to his body one by one, then patted his chest vigorously. "Look! Thanks to Admiral Lu Lin's treatment, although I can't yet access more deep-sea energy, my body has already fully recovered! Look, this youthful flame within my chest is eager to leap forth!!! Hahahaha!"

"It's best that you're alright." Mu Yu looked helplessly at Admiral Haoding and sighed.

"Governor Mu Yu's concern really touches me." Admiral Hao Ding smiled contentedly at everyone. "Oh! By the way, the two governors are here in Chapter Eight to distribute the mission rewards, right? Admiral Lu Lin is here too, so why don't you just give her the reward directly?"

“I’d like to post it too.” Mu Yu stood up, propping himself up, and gestured helplessly with the corner of his mouth toward the tent behind him. “But we still have to wait for these researchers to give a preliminary evaluation of the eighth chapter’s sea area.”

"There's such a requirement? How long will it take for the researchers to finish their investigation?" Admiral Haoding stroked his chin and asked.

"Well... it might take two or three days. In addition to the usual marine ecological and geological surveys, they also need to organize a fleet to go into the deep sea to investigate the situation, such as confirming the deep-sea environment and whether the sea area has been completely conquered."

"Oh, it seems the inspection work is quite rigorous." Admiral Haoding nodded in agreement. "Yes! I understand! Then let my ship girls assist and protect them during this period!"

"Besides the researchers' work, I also need your information on how to complete Chapter Eight." Mu Yu raised his hand.

"The data... I did keep a good record of the data before it was corrupted by the deep-sea aura, but I haven't participated in the conquest since I was injured," said Admiral Haoding. "Brother Mu has been working on this lately, Governor Mu Yu, you can go directly to him for it—oh, by the way, you should know, right? The Mu family has also come to assist with the conquest of Chapter 8, and they've been a great help to us! They're currently stationed in the valley."

"The Brother Mu you mentioned... you wouldn't be talking about that kid Mu Chenglin, would you?" Mu Yu's expression turned extremely strange when Mu Chenglin was mentioned. He rubbed his head, thought for a while, and finally sighed, "I do know about the Mu family fleet coming to support us. I'll go ask him for some information later."

"Sister Naihua and Uncle General are here too," Xiaobai whispered, tiptoeing closer to Muyu.

"What? My mom and dad are here too???" Mu Yu was shocked when she heard this and looked at Xiao Bai. "Why don't they stay at the Mu family home and play mahjong with those old men and enjoy their retirement? What are they doing here? Aren't they afraid of wearing their old bones out?"

Who are you calling an old man?

Before Mu Yu could finish speaking, an angry voice rang out from behind the tent.

Everyone looked back.

Then, Mu Naihua, General Mu, and Mu Chenglin emerged one after another from behind the tent.

"Mr. Mu Yu! Cheng Lin greets you respectfully." Mu Cheng Lin bowed to Mu Yu with a junior's greeting.

"You little rascal, who were you just calling an old man?" Munaihua smiled, veins bulging on her forehead, her fists clenched, exuding a fierce aura.

"Mom! What brings you here!"

"Hmph—see that instead of running away, you're actually walking towards me!"

"Mom! Mom, Mom, no, no—"

A heartwarming scene of maternal love and filial piety unfolded before Xiaobai's eyes.

Chapter 2236 discusses profit sharing.

The spacious villa was packed with people.

Muna Hana was holding a laptop and sitting in a chair, browsing through the electronic documents inside with great interest.

Mu Yu stood behind Mu Naihua with a fawning expression, massaging her shoulders.

"Mother, how's the pressure?"

"good."

"Should we switch sides?"

"can."

"Then I'll change," Mu Yu said cautiously, reaching out to Mu Naihua's other shoulder, then whispered, "Mother, actually, I think I need to explain about the misunderstanding just now..."

"Stand still," Munai interrupted Muyu.

"Yes, sir!" Mu Yu immediately stood up straight, not daring to move an inch.

Konohana crossed her legs, her slender fingers tapping on the laptop keyboard, a faint smile playing on her lips.

The electronic document that Munaihua was looking through was the strategy guide for Chapter Eight, written by Mu Chenglin.

This guide for Chapter 8 includes, but is not limited to: the schedule of the Mu family fleet at the ship girl base after arriving at Chapter 8; records of all deep-sea traces discovered on the sea surface during this period; battle damage records of every battle the Mu family fleet participated in; and the detailed process of the final battle of Chapter 8 a few days ago.

"Hmph—look how detailed Xiao Linzi's strategy guide is. He's a very serious person, no matter what he does, unlike you who's always so carefree." After finishing the last page of the electronic document, Mu Naihua pointed at the laptop screen and scolded Mu Yu, "If you had even half of his patience, you wouldn't be disliked by the other ocean governors like that."

The way Muna spoke was just like a mother talking about someone else's child.

"Mom, there are still people around, please give your son some face..." Mu Yu said awkwardly, "And, and, the document you're looking at is confidential..."

"I'm also part of the team that conquers Chapter 8. Even if my contribution was small, I should still be qualified to see this, right?" Konohana waved her hand. "Besides, you're right behind me right now. I am qualified to see this. Just consider it as me asking you beforehand. You wouldn't refuse to approve it, would you?"

"Ah, this..." Mu Chenglin was covered in sweat.

"Yes, I've finished reading it." Mu Naihua smiled as she closed her laptop and looked at Mu Chenglin on the other side. "Little Lin, it's well written. Much better than your brother Mu Yu."
