Elder brother's garrison

If anyone's to blame, it's the Admiral's Guild for creating this random challenge.

As we all know, random challenges randomly select targets within the top 50. For someone like Admiral Lu Lin, who is ranked number one in the world, there are no targets above her, so she can only choose from the top 50 below her. But no matter what, there are still 50 people!

Why was I chosen out of fifty people?

What about the others?

Someone, please help!

Why can't even veteran top-ten admirals like Admiral Xiang Haoding be matched with her?

I've already practiced with Admiral Lu Lin twice!

What the heck is this, a third time?!

I just climbed back into the world's top 20! Am I going to be sent back to my old home again?!

Has my luck really gotten that bad?

The admiral was breathing heavily, his face turning red, white, and black in turns.

Finally, Admiral Guan Qi composed himself and, with an indescribable trembling smile, cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Xiao Bai.

　"Shi...Shi Yeming...Lu, Admiral Lu Lin, I...I don't blame you..." Admiral Guan said tremblingly, "Wait, wait until this exercise is over, I'll go back and buy a peace token..."

"..." Xiaobai scratched his head and smiled reassuringly at the admiral who had locked up.

……

The exercise began soon afterward.

The exercise ended quickly.

After entering the training ground, Montana took only a few seconds to completely destroy all the ship girls locked up in the Admiral's house once again.

However... what's slightly concerning is...

This time, the ship girls locked up in the admiral's house, when heavily damaged, all emitted a shy yet excited, coy, and hesitant sound.

These ship girls, their clothes torn, lay on the water's surface, each one twisting their bodies, their faces flushed, their eyes gleaming as they stared at Montana. The scene was truly hard to comprehend.

These ship girls were perfectly normal this morning.

After the exercise ended, Xiaobai bid farewell to the exhausted Admiral Guan Qixuan and left the beach in area 8-2 with a smile.

"Ding! Your exercise score has been calculated. This exercise was judged as negative, with a score of -262. Your world ranking has dropped to 61. Please keep up the good work."

After Xiaobai left, the admiral turned off his phone, held it, and looked at the messages inside. He felt an overwhelming heartache.

Blanch!

Blanch it!

……

"Ding, your exercise score has been calculated. You have won this exercise. Your score is +1. Your world ranking is 1."

A message popped up in Xiaobai's Admiral app. Xiaobai looked at the message in the Admiral app, sighed softly, and put it back into his clothes.

“With random challenges, there’s no 4000% buff like with targeted challenges. You can only get one or two points each time, which isn’t very interesting,” Xiaobai said to Montana beside him.

"Is the Admiral going to abandon the exercise?" Montana asked.

"How could that be? I'm determined to hold onto my number one spot in the world!" Xiaobai said, hands on his hips. "That's why the exercises can't stop!"

“…I don’t think anyone can take the Admiral’s position away,” Montana said from the side.

"Just in case." Xiaobai nodded and continued, "Montana, do you still want to conduct the drill?"

"Of course I do."

"I remember you said you were bored this morning?"

"It may be boring, but... I can meet a lot of cute little girls, right?" Montana said with a smile, waving his phone.

“…Alright, that’s your choice.” Xiaobai nodded.

Little White and Montana chatted and laughed as they returned to the temporary garrison.

……

Although the Admiral Guild increased the number of challenge tickets required for Xiaobai to participate in the targeted challenge, the number of challenge tickets required to participate in the random challenge remained at 100 per attempt.

Xiaobai has over 3,000 challenge tickets left today, which means she has more than 30 challenge opportunities.

So Xiaobai simply handed his phone over to the company, while he took Mengda out and traveled to various sea areas.

As for the companies staying in the temporary naval base, all they need to do is press the random challenge button for Xiaobai after her training session ends, and then tell her the training location through the admiral network.

With the help of businesses, the efficiency of the Xiaobai Exercise, while far less than that of Missile Day, was still much faster than at the beginning.

Xiaobai practiced like crazy all afternoon.

It took five or six hours to finally complete the remaining thirty-odd exercises.

Throughout the entire eighth chapter's sea area, the howling of ghosts and wolves continued.

In Xiaobai's more than 30 training sessions, with the help of the company, she did indeed perfectly avoid all the familiar top ten admirals, covering her attack range with a large number of admirals who swore allegiance to her.

Those admirals who were encountered by Xiaobai were all sent back to places outside the top 50 by Xiaobai, to level up again.

The admirals in Chapter 8 were also helpless about being subjected to Xiaobai's challenge despite having already submitted. Firstly, since all the high-ranking admirals had already submitted, it was difficult for Xiaobai to avoid encountering people who hadn't submitted when choosing random challenges. In addition, the targets of random challenges were not something Xiaobai could control. Although these people were frustrated, they couldn't say anything and could only swallow their anger and endure this misery.

We still need to activate the peace token!

After encountering Shiro, the admirals began to think this way.

But to be honest, the Peace Token costs 800 Challenge Tickets a day, which is a painful amount.

Most of the admirals in Chapter 3153 are doing missions in the 8-2 and 8-3 sea areas. Doing missions here will only yield less than 2,000 challenge tickets per day. If they need to spend 800 tickets to purchase peace tokens, then at least half of their daily resources for ranking up will be gone...

This really hurts...

The admirals were in such a dilemma.

Chapter 3154 A Date with the Deep Sea

The admirals vying for the newly vacated top ten spots have varying levels of ship girl skill and different training focuses for their naval bases, but their overall strength is actually quite similar.

At least it's not so bad that it can easily make up for the 800 challenge tickets.

What the admirals were thinking was that if they activated the peace token, and Admiral Lu Lin hadn't matched with them in the first place, wouldn't their 800 challenge tickets have gone to waste?

And there's one more thing.

Activating the truce token means that I can no longer be matched with Admiral Lu Lin or others through random matchmaking. While not being able to be matched with Admiral Lu Lin is certainly a good thing, if others also can't match with me, wouldn't I be missing out on a lot of points...?

The peace talisman is not something you can just open casually.

If you open it yourself but others don't, and those others happen to not encounter Admiral Lu Lin, wouldn't they make a huge profit?

Gambling addicts have everything they could ever want now.

Damn it, this is such fierce competition!

The admirals were torn between two things: first, they didn't want to encounter newbies, and second, they wanted to maximize their challenge ticket resources into real points.

Just when the admirals were in a dilemma about whether or not to activate the peace token.

On the Admiral Forum, the Admiral Guild pinned another post to the top.

"Rules changes for this event, version 2.0".

"Dear Admiral, during this Infinite Firepower Challenge, we gradually realized that there are still many imperfections in our rules. Therefore, we have been working overtime overnight to implement the second set of rule changes at 9:00 AM tomorrow. To express our apologies, we will send all Admirals 500 Challenge Tickets and a 1-day Peace Token as a reward at 9:00 AM tomorrow."

"New Rule 1: We have finally realized that some admirals with excessively high hidden scores are now causing a poor practice experience for other admirals. Therefore, starting from the implementation of the new rule, we will set a point deduction cap for admirals with excessively large hidden score differences. Now, for all admirals who lose a practice, the maximum number of practice points that can be deducted at one time is 100."

"New rule 2: Special ship girls are a dangerous presence, but we think it's a cool feature, so we will not restrict their deployment."

"New Rule 3: For high-ranking admirals, increasing the challenge ticket cost for targeted challenges was a successful experiment, so we have decided to also increase the challenge ticket cost for these admirals to launch random exercises. Now, for some high-ranking admirals, launching a random challenge will cost 1000 challenge tickets (and the points reward will also increase by 1000%)."

"New Rule 4: We have optimized some bugs and set time limits for certain combat time cutscenes."

"New Rule 5: We have released three new aircraft carrier skins for aircraft carrier girls."

"New Rule 6: In order to bring a fresh experience to the admirals, we strictly adhere to the setting that random challenges cannot access the opponent's information."

"New Rule 7: We have corrected three textual errors in the previous version of the rules."

"..."

It's another long and detailed explanation of the rules.

After seeing the 2.0 changes to the Admirals' Guild, the Admirals of Chapter 8 were initially stunned, and then the Admirals' Forum became lively once again.

"Good! Good, you did a great job!"

"Who is this rule targeting this time? I want to name one admiral."

"The Admiral's Guild is really daring..."

"It feels alright. There are no restrictions on Admiral Lu Lin in this set of rules. They've just optimized some unreasonable exercise experiences."

"With this change, Admiral Lu Lin can now only initiate two or three exercises a day, right?"

"I remember that in the 8-4 sea area, you can get a maximum of 3200 challenge tickets every day. So, Admiral Lu Lin can only initiate three challenges!"

"Now losing to Admiral Lu Lin will only result in a 100-point deduction. I've calculated that it's only about a 20-place drop."

"Ah... only dropped twenty places, that's awesome!"

"Upstairs, you've been manipulated, I'm sure of it."

"Admiral Lu Lin has greatly reduced the degree of environmental damage..."

"..."

Just as the forum for admirals was buzzing with excitement...

Here at the temporary garrison.

In Xiaobai's dormitory, Xiaobai and Shenhai Yamato sat facing each other on the bed, with a box of cookies and several bottles of drinks in front of them.

Xiaobai was listening to Shenhai Yamato happily telling her about his shopping experience that day.

"Hey Shiro, let me tell you, there's a huge movie theater in Chapter 8! If you get a VIP card, you can watch movies there an unlimited number of times!" Deep Sea Yamato exclaimed excitedly to Shiro. "I got one for Musashi, Shinano, and Super Yamato! And we even made plans to go see that new movie together tomorrow! I think it's called something like..."

"The amusement park was really fun! It was my first time riding a roller coaster, it felt like driving a ship at sea! But I don't understand why the ship girls next to me were screaming."

"Also, I bought some jewelry for Musashi and Shinano! I originally wanted to buy some for Yamato too, but she kept saying no, so I took her out and bought two strings of candied hawthorns."

"Shinano seems to have a particular fondness for the decadent style and delinquent outfits..."

"Musashi looks great in those mature, sophisticated outfits. Missouri is particularly good at this kind of styling!"

"Let me tell you, Yamato has a great figure. I only realized it when I was changing her into new clothes, and her skin is so soft!"

"..."

This is the first time I've ever had so much fun with Deepsea Yamato.

Shiro listened to Yamato Shinkai's words with a smile.

Just then, Xiaobai's phone shook.

Shenhai Yamato stopped what he was doing and pointed at Xiaobai's phone.

"Xiaobai, your phone is ringing."

"Ah...it's just ordinary news, don't worry about it," Xiaobai said with a smile.

"Let's take a look, just in case it's something serious," Yamato Akami said.

"That's fine then." Xiaobai picked up her phone, glanced at the message on the screen, and then nodded. "Oh... the Admiral's Guild has changed the rules again."

"Hey! Are you being targeted again?"

"Let me see..." Xiaobai picked up the phone and glanced at it for a few moments, then smiled and said, "Oh... it's nothing, it wasn't targeting me, it just changed a few things related to the exercise experience, so it's a good thing for me."

"That's more like it!" Deep Sea Yamato clenched his fist. "Let me tell you, Shiro, humans are all bad, so don't give them too much credit!"

"Yamato-neechan, I'm human too," Shiro said, pointing to herself with a smile.

“You’re different, Shiro.” Yamato Fukami said with a smile. She took out Shiro’s admiral’s certificate and a bill and handed them to Shiro. “Shiro, here’s your admiral’s certificate back. I’ve also put my expenses for today on the bill. I’ll pay you back when I earn some money after we get back to the naval base!”

"Yamato-neechan, you can keep the Admiral's Certificate. From now on, I'll leave it with you in Chapter 8." Shiro didn't take the certificate from Yamato, but said with a smile, "As for the bill... when did we become people who need to pay each other back?"

"Sigh..." Looking at the smile on Shiro's face, Akagi suddenly felt a little embarrassed. "This, this is so wrong. If I don't even pay back your money, Shiro, wouldn't I look like a freeloader..."
