Elder brother's garrison

"I thought Admiral Lu Lin was indirectly saying I was fat..."

With a regretful sigh, she thought for a while, then opened her ship equipment space and took out a floor-length mirror that was taller than a person, placing it on the wall of the corridor.

Kewei stood in front of the full-length mirror, carefully examining her reflection.

The woman in the mirror had a cool and lovely face, a slender and graceful waist, and a graceful figure as she danced. She was simply an absolutely stunningly beautiful young woman.

Kewei lifted the hem of her skirt in front of the mirror, twirled around a few times, and nervously examined herself in the mirror. Only after confirming that there was nothing wrong did Kewei breathe a sigh of relief.

"...It seems I am indeed being a bit sensitive..."

"If Admiral Lu Lin also says I'm fat, then the sky will fall..."

"Fearless," he murmured.

Kewei is not fat at all.

But perhaps due to some mysterious historical reason related to the ship's prototype, Formidable always felt she lived in the shadow of some strange nickname. She would often unexpectedly hear descriptions of her weight from her various odd companions—for example, that although Formidable appeared to be a slender and beautiful girl, she was actually surprisingly heavy, and that she had accidentally broken a chair while sitting in the cafeteria that day, and so on…

Kewei gets angry every time he hears such words.

And what angered the most was that... this was actually true.

Her actual weight was indeed a bit higher than what one would expect for a young woman's figure.

The specific scientific explanation is unclear, but in short, Formidable is always about 10 to 20 kilograms heavier than other ship girls of similar build. In the end, Formidable could only categorize this peculiar phenomenon as part of the "curse of ship legends." Because of this, Formidable is much more concerned about her weight than many other human girls who are mindful of their appearance. She is extremely sensitive to any descriptions of her weight or body shape, and sometimes even unintentional remarks from her ship girl companions are interpreted by her paranoid mind as subtle references to her weight.

For example, last time, in front of Laffey and Javelin, she accidentally broke an empty box in the preparation room by sitting on it as a chair. Javelin subconsciously said that the box was broken. Formidable immediately took it as the destroyers marveling at her superhuman weight, which made her blush and cover her face. She was immersed in intense regret that night.

It was Javelin who eventually realized what had happened and quickly found Formidable to apologize to her, which cleared up the misunderstanding.

"Sigh... I've been too sensitive lately." Kewei looked at herself in the mirror, touched her waist, and sighed. "I feel like... I need to make some changes... Anyway, given the constitution of a ship girl, my body will never change, and my figure won't really get fat, so why do I have to care so much about my figure..."

He muttered to himself, seemingly afraid.

Suddenly, another ship girl appeared in the corridor.

This ship girl is also wearing a maid outfit, and her appearance is somewhat similar to Formidable's. Even the maid outfit she is wearing has a similar feel, although the styles are different.

"Huh? What are you doing looking in the mirror in the hallway?"

The ship girl who appeared came to Formidable's side, her beautiful eyes staring curiously at Formidable's waist.

"I'm fine... I'm alright." Formidable glanced sideways at the ship girl who had appeared. "I was just taking a look."

"Oh?" The ship girl named Unyielding showed interest. She smiled and walked behind Formidable, placing her hands on Formidable's shoulders. Looking at her reflection in the mirror, she thought, "Hehe..."

"what happened?"

"Sister Kewei, if we compare them like this, you see, your waist is a little thicker than mine."

"..."

Kewei turned around, raised her little pink fist, and started banging on Bu Nao, who was still giggling.

……

Xiao Bai, who had already left the dormitory building, had no idea what happened in the corridor.

After leaving the dormitory building, Xiaobai left the temporary garrison and arrived on the main street of Chapter Eight.

Xiao Bai first went to the location of the research and construction machine.

After three or four days of tireless feeding, the research and construction machine had reached 97% completion. At this point, when the admirals of Chapter 8 saw that the progress was about to be completed, almost everyone went crazy and led their ship girls to Admiral Ke Yuan's old residence to line up.

When Xiaobai returned, she was blocked outside by the crowds on the street before she could even see the former residence of the research admiral.

The admirals on the street were each leading their own ship girls, shouting like madmen.

"Hey, you in front, don't cut in line!"

"My turn! My turn!"

"Stop shouting. It's still over a thousand meters from Admiral Ke Yuan's former residence! What's the point of you competing for second or third place here?"

"No, the research and construction machine is about to be born!"

"I'm going to get the research ship girl no matter what, I don't care if the King of Heaven himself comes!"

"..."

The streets were filled with the voices of the admirals.

Standing not far away, Xiaobai looked at the crowded street and couldn't help but smile helplessly.

Xiaobai can understand what the admirals are thinking in Chapter 8...

Xiao Bai put his hands behind his back, quietly bypassed the crowd, and walked towards Admiral Ke Yuan's former residence.

Although the research construction machine is already over 97% complete, just one step away from being fully filled, Xiaobai remains calm and unhurried.

Even Xiaobai didn't queue up; he walked straight into the viewing area and arrived at the gate of Admiral Ke Yuan's former residence without any hindrance.

At this time, the former residence of Admiral Ke Yuan was unusually lively.

In the courtyard, the admirals and ship girls were packed tightly together. A large group of admirals stared at each other, looking at each other. The admirals led the ship girls to the research and construction machine like a factory assembly line. The research and construction machine opened its mouth as if it were enjoying being served, and was too lazy to even move. The ship girls shyly walked into its mouth one by one and squatted down, letting the research and construction machine close its mouth and swallow them.

As one ship girl after another was swallowed up, the progress of the final lock on the research and construction machine continued to churn.

Little White leaned against the door, quietly watching the research and construction machine.

The closer it gets to the final moment, the faster the admirals feed the ship girls.

几乎是肉眼可见的速度，科研建造机的进度从97%慢慢涨到了98%,99%,99.1%,99.2%……

The admirals stared intently at the gauges on the research and construction machine, their eyes glowing red.

"It's about to come out! It's about to come out!"

It's almost full!

"Research construction machine, haha, judging by the order, I will be the last person to fully upgrade the research construction machine, and the research ship girls are mine!" An admiral laughed wildly.

The admirals standing to the side looked at him helplessly.

"Whose admiral is this? He's so disgraceful."

"He doesn't really think that whoever finishes building the research construction machine gets the research ship girls, does he...?"

"It's not that obvious, it depends on the percentage of contribution... Whoever contributes the most gets it!"

The admirals shook their heads as they watched the laughing admiral, as if they were looking at a clown.

Chapter 2882 100% House

Amidst the laughter of the surrounding admirals, the admiral, who had just been ecstatic, suddenly blushed crimson.

"What... so the ownership of the research ship girls isn't determined by who pressed the button...? This isn't scientific, this isn't fair, I clearly..." The admiral, his face flushed, stared blankly, muttering incessantly, "Then I'm basically working for free? This isn't reasonable..."

The admiral's explanation naturally drew even more ridicule.

"You've got a really crooked ass, kid!"

"Because you were the last person to press the button, you feel that the rules that are unfavorable to you are unfair!"

"If the research and construction machine really determined the ownership of the research ship girls based on the last person to press the button, that would be truly unfair!"

"I've never seen you before. I bet you've never even filled in the progress before. You just saw that the research and construction machine was almost full, so you thought you'd come and gamble."

"Young man, take it easy!"

"Besides, if you're really not convinced, you can just wait and see who the research ship girls call 'Admiral' after they come out!"

"I bet a hundred merit points that it definitely isn't you!"

"..."

The sounds from all around came in waves.

The admiral, trembling under the weight of everyone's words, was a far cry from his previous wildly happy self. Now, his eyes were wide open, his face was flushed, and his head seemed to have swelled several times larger.

The ship girls nearby immediately stepped forward to comfort him.

"Admiral, don't be discouraged. Perhaps the research and construction machine will belong to the person who pressed the last button."

"Everything right now is speculation; no one is necessarily right."

With the ship girls' comforting words, the admiral, whose face had turned red, finally looked a little better. Even though he was still embarrassed, he forced himself to shout to those around him with encouragement from the ship girls: "You're right! Who can prove that the final ownership of the research and construction machine is definitely determined by contribution? What if it really is determined by the last person who pressed the button!"

"Forget it, there's no way to wake someone who's pretending to be asleep."

"Then we'll all wait for you to fill the construction machine!"

The admirals around them naturally nodded and smiled.

However, after laughing, the admirals around them subconsciously licked their lips and exchanged glances.

A hint of worry also flashed in the eyes of the surrounding admirals.

While logically speaking, the ownership of the research and construction machine shouldn't be determined by who pressed the button last, as that red-faced admiral just said... what if... the situation really is that unbelievable?

Reality can sometimes be unreasonable.

The research ship girl is, after all, one of the three special ship girls. This is the biggest advantage for the admirals to enter the top ten in the future. Under such a great temptation, the admirals really cannot withstand the slightest unexpected impact.

Even if the possibility is extremely small...

Upon realizing this, the admirals all suppressed their smiles and looked at the red-faced admiral.

At this moment, the red-faced admiral's face was filled with fanaticism. His eyes were fixed on the research and construction machine, and he was panting heavily like an ox.

The admirals suddenly felt lost and fell silent.

After a brief interlude, the feeding cycle returned to its orderly pace at Admiral Ke Yuan's former residence. As each ship girl entered the giant maw of the research and construction machine, all the admirals watched the constantly fluctuating percentage numbers on the machine's display screen.

99.41%

99.42%

99.43%...

Every jump in the percentage numbers on the research and construction machine captivated the hearts of everyone present.

Hidden among the crowd, Xiao Bai peeked out from the gaps in the crowd, secretly observing the scene in the courtyard.

Xiao Bai could clearly see the little incident that just happened in the yard from this position.

Regarding the topic of ownership of the research ship girls spawned by the research construction machine, Xiaobai, hidden in the crowd, smiled helplessly.

While this might be a blow to the red-faced admiral from before, it is truly regrettable that the ownership of research ship girls is determined by a percentage of contribution to the research construction machine. In other words, the red-faced admiral who confidently told everyone to "wait and see" is likely to face some embarrassment today.

Xiao Bai took out a bag of sunflower seeds from his pocket and started cracking them open while looking at the scene in the yard.

Compared to the tension of everyone present, Xiao Bai's mental state was quite calm. Because he already knew the criteria for the scientific research construction machine, Xiao Bai was like a student who knew the exam answers in advance. No matter how anxious and tense the people around him were about the unknown answers, the changes on the scene did not stir up the slightest ripple in Xiao Bai's heart.

Ok……

That's probably the advantage of "information".

If you were to ask how Xiaobai knew about this judgment condition...

That's because Xiaobai had already asked the research and construction machine about it.

Little White chewed on a sunflower seed shell, looked at the scene in the yard, and revealed a faint smile.

Don't forget, the research and construction machine once lived in Xiaobai's house.

Furthermore, Xiaobai clearly understands that the biggest characteristic of the research construction machine compared to ordinary construction machines is that it possesses intelligence and intellect comparable to humans. Although the research construction machine cannot communicate with humans through language, it can at least understand human language.

That's why, when you encounter something you don't understand, just ask the thing itself...

After consulting with the research construction machine itself, Xiaobai clearly understood the criteria for determining a research ship girl. Upon learning that the criteria for determining a research ship girl were indeed calculated based on a percentage contribution, Xiaobai was completely relieved.

If we're talking about percentage contribution, Xiaobai's contribution to this research and construction machine has long exceeded 50%.

A quick calculation shows that Xiaobai's own ship equipment increased the research and construction machine by 30% in one go, and the two sacrifices in Anshan added another 10%. For the remaining bits and pieces of progress, Xiaobai even used mass-produced Deep Sea Dean metal to fill in the gaps, and easily passed the 50% standard line.

No matter how much the admirals present tried to manipulate it, the owner of the research ship girl could only be a novice.

This is why Xiaobai hasn't paid any attention to the research and construction machine these past few days, and doesn't even bother to take a look at it.

Because sleeping with Akagi Fukasaki is just too comfortable... cough cough.

Because Xiaobai isn't worried at all that the research ship girls will fall into the hands of others.

"Hurry up and build the research and construction machine..." Xiaobai murmured softly, munching on a sunflower seed, "I still want to see what this research ship girl, for whom so much time and effort has been invested, actually looks like..."

Xiao Bai's voice carried very faintly through the crowd.
