Elder brother's garrison

“That’s right.” Mu Yu nodded affirmatively.

"..." Xiaobai sat back down in his seat, seemingly lost in thought.

"Little White Sister, how are you feeling?" Mu Yu smiled at Little White.

“…Hmm, I think I understand.” Xiaobai nodded and said seriously to Mu Yu, “If that’s the case, then the Holy Construction Day is indeed a day comparable to the New Year for the admirals.”

"Hehe, every time a Holy Construction Day appears, a large number of powerful naval bases emerge in the admiral circle." Mu Yu chuckled and crossed his arms, saying to Xiao Bai, "Whether it's doubled ship girl experience or increased construction probability, it's all great news for admirals. Unlucky players can sneak in, lucky players can show off their ships, and squads of max-level ship girls will appear in this sea area like they're being mass-produced! This is all thanks to you, Xiao Bai, who successfully cleared Chapter 8 and unlocked the Holy Construction Day!"

"It was nothing," Xiaobai smiled at Mu Yu, but then her face fell again. "However, there's still something I don't understand."

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Mu Yu raised an eyebrow. "Little White, what's up?"

“I understand now, the Holy Establishment Day is a great event for the admirals.” Xiaobai nodded, but then asked with a puzzled look, “However, for us newbie naval bases, it seems like the Holy Establishment Day doesn’t really matter, does it?”

"Uh……"

"I don't lack high-level ship girls, and we already have a lot of different types of ship girls in our naval base. Building more ship girls would only make a negligible difference to our current naval base... That shouldn't be a reason to lure me here, right?" Xiaobai said seriously. "Besides, you just said that the secret event in Chapter 8 is a special event where the fewer people who know about it, the better. But from what I've heard about the event, it seems like the more people who know about it, the better?"

Xiao Bai bombarded Mu Yu with a series of questions, leaving Mu Yu, who was still smiling smugly, speechless and turning red in the face.

Ringo patted Mu Yu on the shoulder and shook her head at him.

Mu Yu stared blankly at Lin Qing, then shrugged at Xiao Bai and gave a wry smile.

"As expected of Little White Sister, even the once-in-a-century Holy Construction Day event couldn't entice you..." Mu Yu sighed, but soon a mysterious smile appeared on her face. "Well... Little White Sister, you're right. If the effect of the Holy Construction Day is really just this, then for the world's number one naval base, it's not an event worth participating in."

"So there are other effects after all?" Xiaobai asked.

"Hehehe..." Mu Yu smiled and held up three fingers at Xiao Bai. "Little Bai, listen carefully to what I'm about to say—for the admirals who participate in the Holy Construction Day, whether it's the former's doubling of ship girl expedition experience or the latter's significant increase in ship girl construction probability, these are just participation rewards. The real rewards of the Holy Construction Day are far more than that."

Chapter 2571 Three Special Ship Girls

Mu Yu stretched out three fingers and waved them in front of Xiao Bai, then paused for a while.

After a long while, Mu Yu slowly lowered his hand.

"The real prizes for the Holy Founding Day are three special ship girls obtained in different ways." Mu Yu took a deep breath and said to Xiao Bai with a serious expression.

Mu Yu finished speaking.

The hall was quiet.

Xiao Bai blinked, looked at Mu Yu, and tilted her head in surprise.

"Huh?" Xiaobai didn't understand. "What do you mean?"

“It means exactly what it says, Little White Sister,” Mu Yu said to Little White.

"The real reward for Holy Construction Day is three ship girls?" Xiaobai scratched his head, looking confused. "Isn't the construction probability already greatly increased on Holy Construction Day? For admirals who can challenge this sea area, obtaining construction ship girls within the event period shouldn't be that difficult, right?"

"Hahaha!" Mu Yu laughed heartily when he saw Xiao Bai's puzzled expression. "Little Bai, you still don't understand what I mean."

“…Hmm…” Xiaobai scratched his cheek, looking puzzled.

"These three reward ship girls I'm talking about are no ordinary ship girls," Mu Yu said to Xiao Bai with a smile. "These three ship girls, who are the final rewards of the Holy Construction, are unique ship girls that only appear during the Shengjian period in the five hundred years of human history.

"Oh?!" Little White perked up instantly upon hearing "unique".

"According to the records at the Admiral's Headquarters, it's written like this—after the Admirals successfully cleared Chapter 7, the Holy Construction Day lasted for a full six months." Mu Yu slowly recounted to Xiao Bai, "During those short six months, three special ship girls with significantly higher specifications than other ship girls appeared in the territory of Chapter 7. And with the appearance of the last special ship girl, the duration of the Holy Construction Day came to an end. In the end, whether it was due to strength or luck, each of them obtained one of the three naval bases belonging to those three special ship girls. After the Holy Construction Day ended, they also became the strongest naval bases of that era, firmly occupying the top three positions on the world naval base rankings, thanks to those three special ship girls."

"So strong?" Xiaobai exclaimed in surprise.

"Hmm." Mu Yu nodded.

"Are they building and shipping them?" Xiaobai asked.

"Yes, but not entirely." Mu Yu shook his head.

"What do you mean...?"

"Didn't I just say that?" Seeing that Xiaobai had finally become interested, Mu Yu nodded smugly, held up the three fingers he had used earlier, and said to Xiaobai, "These three special ship girls appear in three completely different ways."

“Three ways…” Xiaobai murmured Mu Yu’s words.

"These three special ship girls will appear through construction, salvage, and scientific research," Mu Yu said to Xiao Bai.

"..." Xiaobai stared blankly at Muyu.

"First of all, this first ship girl will appear in the form of construction." Seeing that Xiaobai didn't speak, Mu Yu continued to speak on his own. He pressed down one of his three fingers and said to Xiaobai, "During the Holy Construction period, as long as you use the construction device to construct a ship girl, no matter what formula you use, no matter what construction device you use, even if it's a construction formula like 10, 10, 10, 10 that is bound to fail, there will be a certain probability of summoning this constructed ship girl."

"I see... it's the jackpot in the construction..." Xiaobai murmured, nodding. "Hmm... it seems this is purely based on luck..."

“Luck is also a measure of a commander’s ability.” Mu Yu nodded with a smile.

"...I've had really bad luck building them..." Little White said dejectedly, "I don't think I've ever succeeded in building one yet..."

Xiaobai thinks he's probably not destined to be the first ship girl to be built.

Seeing Xiaobai's dejected look, Mu Yu burst into laughter.

"Don't worry so much, little Bai. There's always a way out. Your garrison is large and powerful. If you work your ass off, you can definitely manage to get the construction ship girl with your abundant resources," Mu Yu said with a smile. "And even if you can't get this special construction ship girl, little Bai, you can still try to get the other two special ship girls!"

"...What about the remaining two special ship girls?" Xiaobai looked up and asked worriedly, "Won't it also depend on luck?"

"Don't worry, this second special ship girl has nothing to do with luck. She appears through salvage." Mu Yu nodded seriously and pressed his second finger. "During the Holy Construction period, the second salvage ship girl will appear directly on the sea. At that time, she will become a neutral presence and face the challenges of the admirals on the high seas."

"……challenge?"

"The way to obtain this ship girl is very simple: just defeat her, and she's yours," Mu Yu said seriously. "Furthermore, this ship girl is often the strongest of the three special ship girls in terms of combat power."

"Ship girls appearing on the sea? How did they appear?" Xiaobai asked curiously.

"I don't know, I really don't know." Mu Yu shrugged helplessly. "The reason is unknown, we can only understand it as a miracle of the Holy Day."

“…Alright, it seems this one earned it through hard work.” Xiaobai nodded to Mu Yu.

"This style suits the newbie naval base perfectly, right?" Mu Yu smiled. "The newbie naval base is the strongest naval base in the last five hundred years since humanity emerged from the period of discontinuity."

"...Now it's time to talk about the third one." Xiaobai scratched his cheek and urged Muyu, "I can understand the construction ship girls and salvage ship girls you mentioned before, but the research ship girl you mentioned last, this is the first time I've heard of this concept. What does it mean?"

"Research ship girls..." Mu Yu sighed helplessly, "This third research ship girl has the lowest acquisition threshold compared to the first two ship girls, but at the same time, it also has the highest acquisition threshold."

"What do you mean?"

"Research ship girls are quite special. In a sense, their existence combines the characteristics of both construction ship girls and salvage ship girls," Mu Yu explained to Xiao Bai. "During the Holy Construction Day, a magical construction device will appear on the sea. This construction device is different from the construction devices we are familiar with in the traditional sense. This special construction device is 100% successful. Once this device is successfully activated, the ship girl it creates will definitely be the third research ship girl. It will never fail."

"A 100% construction device?" Xiaobai's eyes widened in surprise.

"Yes, huh? Little Bai, you seem to be very sensitive to this word?" Mu Yu stopped talking and looked at Little Bai curiously. "What's wrong?"

"Uh... um..." Xiaobai quickly lowered her head, "No, it's nothing..."

"..." Mu Yu looked at Xiao Bai for a while, then suddenly smiled. "Oh, right... I almost forgot, Xiao Bai, you're a construction non-European, so this 100% construction device should be a lifesaver for you, right?"

"No, that's not it..." Xiaobai muttered, then looked up at Mu Yu and said, "So this research ship girl construction device must be something special, right?"

"Yes, Little White, you guessed right." Mu Yu pressed down the last finger and smiled at Little White. "That ship girl construction device that can create scientific ship girls is extremely difficult to start."

"How to say?"

"Scientific research, scientific research. Since she's called a scientific research ship girl... her acquisition method is naturally related to this." Mu Yu said to Xiao Bai with a smile, "To activate the construction device for a scientific research ship girl, you need to unlock three technological combination locks that are firmly locked on it. Each combination lock requires the help of advanced scientific research to unlock."

"Scientific research capabilities?" Xiaobai asked, puzzled. "What's that?"

"You probably wouldn't understand if I explained it here. You'll understand once you see that research device with your own eyes, Little White." Mu Yu spread his hands at Little White. "In short, I've told you how to obtain the grand prize of Holy Construction Day—three special ship girls. Are you interested in Holy Construction now?"

"Hmm..." Xiaobai thought for a moment, then nodded slightly to Mu Yu, "I'm starting to get interested..."

According to Mu Yu, the reward ship girls for the Holy Construction Day seem to each possess a powerful combat strength that could make an ordinary naval base reach the top of the admiral rankings.

Although Xiaobai didn't think the status of the new naval base would be threatened by ordinary naval bases... since Muyu had said so, as the second admiral of the new naval base, he couldn't just sit idly by. Xiaobai didn't want to wake up tomorrow to find a naval base stronger than his own; he felt he had to protect the glory of being the world's number one for his brother.

I should try my best to get the special ship girl for the Holy Founding Day.

"Do the three special ship girls appear in any order?" Xiaobai thought for a moment and asked Muyu, "Which ones have appeared so far?"

"The timing and order in which special ship girls appear are random," Mu Yu replied. "Also... although the Holy Construction Day has lasted for a month, no admiral has obtained a special ship girl in the current Chapter 8 so far. However... the construction device for research ship girls has already appeared."

"Where is it?" Xiaobai asked, putting her hand down.

"It's in the sea that everyone can reach." Mu Yu put down her hand and smiled at Xiao Bai, "Sea area 8-1, the initial strategy point. Little Bai, you can go and take a look if you have time."

"..." Upon hearing this, Xiaobai nodded silently, "I see."

"Huh? What's wrong?" Mu Yu asked.

"Now I finally understand." Xiaobai smiled at Muyu with relief. "No wonder the news about the Holy Day was kept so secret. It seems that none of the admirals in Chapter 8 wanted to have another competitor for the special ship girl."

"Haha!" Mu Yu laughed heartily.

Chapter 2572 The Governor's Disciple

After laughing for a while, Mu Yu made a gesture that said "I think highly of you" to Xiao Bai.

"Little White Sister, from my personal perspective, I'm really looking forward to your base's performance during this Holy Day event," Mu Yu encouraged Little White. "Although the competition for those three special ship girls is extremely fierce, I believe that with the strength and resources of your base, you'll be able to acquire at least one of them before the event ends."

"How come there's only one?"

"This one is someone others would beg and plead for!" Mu Yu shrugged and reminded Xiao Bai, "Little Bai, you mustn't be greedy. If you keep wavering and end up with nothing, and another naval base manages to take those three special ship girls, then your position as the world's number one new naval base might be threatened. Don't blame me for not warning you then."

"Hmm..." Xiaobai pouted, but didn't argue with Mu Yu.

Xiao Bai gently released her fingers from the card.

Mu Yu's eyes lit up, and he swiftly reached out and picked up the card in front of Xiao Bai.

"Oh my god! This is the autograph of Ms. Lu Ming, the world's number one idol, the dream girl of millions of young men, the number one on the list of people who want her to be their girlfriend this year, and the number one on the list of people who want her to be their best friend this year!" Mu Yu held the autographed card in her hands as if it were a treasure, her eyes shining with intense light.

Under Mu Yu's gaze, the autographed card in his hand not only had Lu Ming's elegant and beautiful name neatly written on it, but also had an additional blessing written in the right corner of the card: "On [date], presented to Mu Yu, may happiness accompany you throughout your life."

Upon seeing this additional sentence, Mu Yu's blood boiled with excitement.

"Oh my god!!! It's a signature! It's a signature!!! I'm so excited, I'm totally ecstatic!" Mu Yu jumped up from the sofa excitedly, holding the autographed card high as if afraid something might go wrong. "As expected of Little Bai, she managed to get Lu Ming's signature so easily! I'm so touched! No way! What if such a precious gift gets dirty! I'm going to go to my office and find a frame to frame it and hang it in the most prominent corner! I want everyone who walks into my office to see this signature first thing, wahahahahaha————"

As Mu Yu finished speaking, she excitedly ran towards the office door, holding the autographed card high, and slammed the door shut behind her.

From time to time, Mu Yu's lewd laughter could be heard coming from inside the door.

"...So Mu Yu is also a huge fan of Miss Lu Ming...I thought he was just saying that when he said he was a fan of Lu Ming..." Sitting on the sofa, Xiao Bai looked at the closed office door with a helpless expression, then turned to Ringo, "Ringo-neechan, is Mu Yu always like this here?"

Ringo didn't answer Xiaobai's question; she just smiled silently.

Xiao Bai originally wanted to tell Mu Yu that Lu Ming had now joined the rookie garrison under the alias Shrop County, but after seeing his crazy appearance just now, Xiao Bai decided to give up this hasty idea after thinking about it for a while.

Given Mu Yu's past behavior, if he knew that Lu Ming's true form was a ship girl and that he had rescued her and brought her back to the naval base... he would probably abuse his power and sneak over there to harass Shropshire on the spot.

No.

This is not okay.

Shropshire had finally managed to enjoy a few days of peace in her own garrison, how could she let a mere Pacific Governor disrupt her tranquil and beautiful daily life?

It's better to keep this to yourself.

"Have you chosen an address in Chapter Eight?" Just as Xiaobai was having a flurry of thoughts, a voice suddenly interrupted her.

Xiaobai snapped out of her daze and looked towards Ringo.

Ringo smiled at him; her expression was gentle, and she was beautiful, dignified, and breathtaking.

"Ah...is this where I'm staying?" Xiaobai pointed to herself, scratching her head sheepishly at Ringo. "Not yet. Actually, I've only reached Chapter 8...I haven't even gotten to know all the city streets yet."

“Like this.” Ringo nodded, bent down slightly, moved the laptop that Mu Yu had placed on the coffee table over, then tapped a few times on the keyboard with her slender fingers before pushing the laptop back in front of Xiaobai. She pursed her lips and said to Xiaobai, “...Take a look at this.”

Xiao Bai looked curiously at Mu Yu's laptop screen.

What appeared on the screen was a building map of Chapter 8. This map occupied the entire screen, with an unusually dense array of colorful markers, but it was also very detailed, with almost every building having its own description.

The ship girls next to Xiaobai were immediately dizzy from the intricate and complex strokes on the map.

"Wow! What kind of map is this? It's so complicated!" Wisconsin complained, rubbing her forehead.

"This is... an engineering map of the city in Chapter Eight?" Xiao Bai glanced at the map and realized that the layout of some roads looked familiar, exactly the same as the roads he encountered when he first entered Chapter Eight.

Did Ringo-neechan just show me a city map because I said I didn't know the way?

"Hmm." Ringo nodded to Shiro. "This is a special map used by the governor. It contains a lot of classified information. Since you have a good memory, you should memorize the map."

Sure enough.

"Ah... thank you, Ringo-neechan." Xiaobai studied the map carefully for a while, until she had memorized every mark on it, before turning her gaze away.

"After you go out, go and explore the surrounding area." Ringo put away her laptop and said to Xiaobai, "Some of the housing in the city is vacant. If you find a place you want to live in long-term, just tell me and I'll approve the house for you directly."

"...Does this count as getting in through connections?"

“You’re a pioneering hero, a few houses are all you deserve.” Ringo smiled slightly.
