"It's already shameless enough to send the newspaper out to participate in the battle exercise, but to actually drag the submarine out is just plain shameless and disgusting... We can't afford to lose face like that."
"..."
The admirals who were watching from all around discussed it as they stepped forward.
"Here you go." Rome carefully handed the destroyer to the female admiral. "Take it."
"...Thank you." The female admiral bowed her head and quickly took the destroyer from Roma's arms. She hugged the destroyer tightly, not daring to meet the eyes of Xiaobai and Nia. "I...lost, goodbye!"
After saying that, the female admiral turned and fled as if her life depended on it.
"Hey! Sister, wait a minute!" Xiao Bai suddenly called out to the female admiral.
"Eek!" The female admiral shuddered, quickly clutching the destroyer in her arms and looking at Xiaobai with a panicked expression. "What... what are you going to do?"
"Why are you so scared, sister? I'm not going to eat you." Xiaobai looked at the female admiral's terrified expression and couldn't help but smile. She held out her hand to the female admiral and said, "Don't worry, the bet just now didn't stand. I won't harm a kind person like you. The reason I stopped you was just to remind you that you haven't paid your registration fee yet."
"Registration fee..."
"A quick repair device," Xiaobai reminded him.
"..." The female admiral was stunned. She looked down blankly, took out a quick repair device from behind her, and handed it to Xiaobai.
"Thank you for your patronage." Xiaobai accepted the rapid repair device and nodded with a smile.
When the female admiral saw that Xiaobai had no intention of keeping her, she breathed a sigh of relief and then left as if fleeing for her life, clutching the destroyer tightly in her arms.
Xiao Bai smiled and waved at the female admiral's retreating figure.
"Which admiral is next?" Xiaobai turned around and asked the admirals who were watching.
"Uh... fourth place, it's time for the fourth place." The admirals watching looked at each other, and then quickly pushed out an admiral and a ship girl.
Rome and the fourth ship girl to battle head towards the sea.
Just as Rome and her rival shipgirls deployed their ship equipment and headed towards the battle area, an admiral in the crowd of onlookers turned on the playback function of a camera and began playing footage of the battle that had just taken place.
"Hiss... that's some really unpredictable artillery fire."
"My camera can capture supersonic motion clearly, but I still couldn't see when this special ship girl launched her attack..."
"Strange thing..."
The admiral in charge of filming frowned as he watched the replay of the previous battle footage.
The other admirals also gathered around him and began to study the matter enthusiastically.
"Yes, I've been an admiral for over a decade, and this is the first time I've ever seen such a bizarre artillery barrage!"
"This bizarre artillery barrage was so sudden that we couldn't even see the trajectory of the shells; it was as if it appeared out of thin air!"
"..."
The admirals watched the replay with a mix of emotions.
Just then, a snow-white figure suddenly appeared in the center of the admirals and approached the screen replaying the battle footage.
"Oh, oh, oh... the picture is so clear." Xiaobai nodded, pointing to her lips and staring at the screen.
"Huh? Little girl, what are you doing here?" The surrounding admirals were startled by the sudden appearance of Xiaobai and couldn't help but ask.
"Because you're all gathered here watching videos." Xiaobai turned around and gave the admirals around her a sweet smile. "I'm also very interested in the videos you made, so I wanted to see what you filmed."
"Haha! So, little girl, what do you think of our filming?"
"The filming is excellent," Xiaobai said with a smile, staring at the screen.
The admirals behind him burst into enthusiastic laughter.
Xiao Bai pursed her lips, bathed in laughter, quietly watching the scene on the screen, a faint smile appearing on her face as well.
—Indeed, it was filmed very well.
This camera captured the entire process of Jean Bart standing in the battle zone, using her ship equipment to fire at the unsuspecting ship girl. Her entire firing sequence was incredibly smooth, and not a single frame was missed by the camera.
pity.
Even though it was all captured so clearly by the camera, and so many eyes were watching the screen, not a single person noticed Jean Bart's presence.
Xiao Bai put down her hand and silently walked back to Nia's side.
Ok……
Regardless, while today's World's Number One Ship Girl Tournament was essentially about helping Nia get rid of the admirals who flocked to her, through the process of these exercises and the admirals' reactions, I was able to use these top admirals and their top ship girls to test the upper limit of Jean Bart's abilities.
Chapter 2689 Top Ten Admirals
Jean Bart's abilities were even more impressive than Xiaobai had imagined.
It seems that not only in real life and in other people's memories, but also in the images and data of certain carriers, as long as Jean Bart's "observer" ability is still in effect, Jean Bart can still make anyone who tries to receive his information completely ignore his existence.
This ability can also be perfectly applied in combat.
After all, there is at least one pre-established condition for ship girls to dodge artillery fire in battle.
That means they first have to "see" the shelling.
Once Jean Bart's "Bystander" ability is activated, the premise that ship girls can avoid artillery fire is completely overturned—the ship girls fighting against her can't even see her, let alone artillery fire. Under such circumstances, they have no idea when to take cover, where to take cover, or even when they have become Jean Bart's enemy. Naturally, they can only become Jean Bart's live targets.
"You've had quite a haul today," Xiaobai said with a smile, handing the rapid repair device to Nia.
"Mmm!" Nia held Little White's rapid repair device, a happy smile on her face.
……
The World's Number One Ship Girl Tournament went surprisingly smoothly from beginning to end.
The timing of the martial arts tournament was rather sudden, which meant that Xiaobai had not reported it to the Admiral's Guild beforehand. Therefore, from a stricter perspective, Xiaobai's actions today can be considered a violation of the Admiral's Guild's security regulations.
Xiao Bai thought that after learning that she was hosting the World's Number One Ship Girl Tournament, the Admiral's Guild would at least send some employees to give her a verbal warning or some symbolic punishment. However, she did not expect that while the tournament was in full swing and very exciting, the Admiral's Guild's disciplinary employees were slow to appear in front of her.
In the end, the Admiral's Guild only sent a special permit to Xiaobai through someone, which "allowed the conduct of ship girl exercises."
unknowingly.
The World's Number One Ship Girl Tournament lasted from morning till night.
"boom!!!"
Orange-red flames rose from the water's surface, followed by a cracking sound.
After about a few minutes,
Before the smoke from the explosion had even cleared, Rome carried a disheveled ship girl, her clothes torn and almost completely naked, ashore.
After returning the opponent from the exercise to the corresponding admiral, Roma breathed a sigh of relief and glanced back at the sea with a complicated expression.
Rome has lost count of how many times it has sailed back and forth on the sea.
The admirals watching from the shore had become somewhat numb by this point. They quietly watched the ship girls that Rome had sent up, looking at each other in bewilderment.
"So even this ship girl isn't enough..."
"What rank is this ship girl in again?"
"Ranked twenty-seventh."
"Goodness, it's already such a high-ranking naval base... This must be the highest-ranking naval base in today's battles, right?"
"really."
"Even the ace ship girl in the 27th ranked naval base in the world couldn't withstand a single shot from a special ship girl... It seems that the rumors that a naval base with special ship girls is at least equivalent to having a top-ten combat power in the world are not unfounded..."
The admirals looked at Rome with complicated expressions as they finished speaking.
The admirals' gazes were filled with envy, anticipation, and deep awe.
Rome felt the gazes of the crowd and lowered his head with a hint of hesitation.
—Rome is actually a proud ship girl. From the very beginning of this morning, she wanted to tell all the admirals in front of her that she was not a special ship girl and that they had all mistaken her for someone else.
Rome did not want to steal the glory and praise of others.
However, Rome also knew all too well that her words were like casting pearls before swine to these admirals who were absolutely certain of their identities.
—This group of people are like those who call a deer a horse, pointing their fingers at me and claiming I'm a special ship girl. No matter how I try to explain, they won't listen to a single word.
"Rome, thank you for your hard work today."
Just as Rome was experiencing a complex mix of emotions, a gentle voice of comfort reached its ears.
Upon hearing the voice, Rome's expression softened slightly, and he looked over.
Little White is waving at Rome with a smile on his face.
"Admiral Lu Lin." Rome obediently walked up to Xiao Bai and bowed slightly to her.
"Including the exercise we just did, you've participated in 189 exercises today," Xiaobai said to Roma with a smile. "How are you feeling now? Has your ship equipment level improved?"
“…Hmm…” Roma looked at her hands, thought for a moment, and said to Xiaobai, “Reporting to Admiral Lu Lin, it seems that my ship equipment level has been raised to around level 70.”
"Not bad."
"...It's puzzling, I clearly didn't do anything."
"That's how ship equipment training improves. Fighting against all sorts of top-tier ship girls, even if you just stand there doing nothing, just feeling the overwhelming aura of their strength and their all-out fighting spirit is a kind of training. This can be considered your opportunity." Xiaobai smiled and patted Roma's arm.
"Thank you, Admiral Lu Lin," Rome said, bowing his head.
"Xiaobai, how many people are still in line?" Nia asked Xiaobai as she squatted on the beach, arranging the tall stack of rapid repair devices.
"Hmm... Judging from Lianlian's situation, it seems like it won't be over anytime soon." Xiaobai stood on tiptoe and glanced at the long queue at the registration desk. "At this rate, it won't be over until there are at least a hundred or two."
Wow...so many people.
"Yeah, every single ship girl was blasted off the stage as soon as she stepped onto the field, just as she was about to launch her first attack. But the others didn't seem to be affected at all; their enthusiasm for the competition remained high." Xiaobai nodded helplessly. "It seems like everyone here thinks they're the only one who can crack the secret of the special ship girls..."
“Admirals who can reach the eighth chapter are all outstanding individuals, the pride of heaven… and of course, in terms of ambition…” Nia looked at the tall stack of rapid repair devices in front of her and couldn’t help but smile.
"So, Nia's ambitions are also quite high?" Xiaobai smiled and looked at Nia.
"Eh? No, no..." Nia quickly waved her hand, then smiled shyly at Xiaobai, "I was able to reach Chapter 8 with your help, Xiaobai. Well... I took a shortcut... I cheated, so I can't compare to others."
“…Nia, actually I don’t think you’re any worse than the others in Chapter Eight,” Xiaobai said.
"Oh...oh..." Nia cupped her face, her cheeks flushed.
……
It was getting dark.
The number of admirals flocking to Beach 8-2 has finally decreased.
Just as the crowd at the entrance thinned out, a tall admiral followed the crowd into the 8-2 sea area.
As soon as the admiral arrived at the 8-2 sea area, he looked up at the sea.
Upon seeing the densely packed crowds on the beach and the long queue in front of the "World's Number One Ship Girl Tournament" registration area, the admiral's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and he then whistled.
"Shh~ It's so lively. The 8-2 sea area is probably at least ten times more lively than when I was here a few days ago."
"It must be because of the owner of the special ship girl, right?"
"Hehe, it was worth coming all the way from the 8-3 sea area on the other side of Zhangcheng City. It seems this trip was worthwhile."
The admiral murmured, a faint yet mature smile appearing on his face.
The admiral walked forward slowly with his hands behind his back, and then called out to an admiral who was passing by.
"Hey buddy, how many people are still at the registration desk?"
"Tsk—aren't you blind? Can't you see for yourself—" The admiral, frustrated by being stopped in line, glanced at the questioning admiral with annoyance when he heard the voice. However, the moment he saw the admiral's face, his impatient expression froze, replaced by a mixture of surprise and astonishment. He then raised his hand, pointing at the admiral with wild joy and shouting, "Ah...you! You are...you are Admiral Li Hua! You are Admiral Li Hua!!! Admiral Li Hua, ranked eighth in the world!!!"
Exclamations rang out instantly, quickly attracting the attention of the surrounding crowd.
In an instant, pairs of surprised and admiring eyes were cast upon Li Hua.
Well known.
In the world that Xiaobai lives in, admirals are generally divided into three types.
One of them is the top ten admirals.
The other type is admirals who are not among the top ten admirals.
This is precisely because there is a qualitative difference in the strength of the naval bases of the top ten admirals and the other admirals. For example, Duan Shuiliu, the former admiral of the world's tenth naval base, who was called the "Wall of Sighs" by countless top admirals, was only one place away from the world's eleventh-ranked admiral. However, no one in the admiral community ever regarded her as an ordinary existence compared to the world's eleventh-ranked naval base.
after all……
