Elder brother's garrison

"It seems that Lianlian's schedule is also quite tight..."

Lianlian has finally come out of the mountains.

Thinking of this, Xiaobai felt a mixture of relief and inexplicable worry.

Xiao Bai breathed a sigh of relief because Luo Lian had finally finished that seemingly endless training and was ready to genuinely improve her ranking. At least Xiao Bai wouldn't have to see Luo Lian's ranking continue to decline.

But Xiaobai was also worried about whether the training time was sufficient for Luo Lian's ship girls to improve to the point where they could fight against the eighth chapter's naval base.

You should know... even the worst naval base in Chapter 8 is still a high-ranking admiral who has cleared Chapter 7.

The ship girls of Luo Lian's family have only been around for less than a month since they were born.

Xiaobai is genuinely a little worried.

Xiaobai put her phone away, feeling extremely uncomfortable. She left the dormitory building and went to the Ship Girl Plaza.

Today, at the newbie naval base, the ship girls no longer need to accompany Luo Lian during training, so when Xiaobai arrived at the plaza, she saw many familiar faces.

"Iowa, Wisconsin."

Little White stood on tiptoe and waved at the two golden shadows.

Upon hearing Xiaobai's voice, the two figures immediately stopped and turned around.

"Hey! Isn't this the Admiral!" Wisconsin looked at Xiaobai with surprise, hands on her hips, a bright smile on her face. "What's up? Why did you suddenly call me today? Is there something you need?"

"There weren't any special instructions..." Xiaobai walked towards the two of them.

Iowa watched with a smile as Xiaobai walked up to her. She put one hand on her chest and tilted her head towards Xiaobai.

"Good morning, Admiral," Iowa said with a smile. "You smell wonderful today."

"Um...cough cough." Xiaobai coughed twice, covering her mouth. "Um...is this a convenient time for you? I have something I want to ask you."

"My sister and I are going out shopping later. Would you like to come along, Admiral?" Wisconsin asked.

"...It's about Lianlian." Xiaobai shook her head. "Wisconsin, Iowa, you guys were Lianlian's ship girl instructors before, weren't you?"

"Yes."

"You've all seen the progress the Lianlian family's ship girls have made these past few days, right?" Xiaobai asked curiously. "In your opinion, how far have the Lianlian family's ship girls grown? Have they reached the level of Chapter Eight?"

Chapter 3280 Little White's main focus is on villainous actions.

Xiao Bai has always been quite curious about how far Luo Lian's ship girls have grown.

Previously, Xiaobai ignored Luo Lian's ship girls, not because she didn't care, but mainly because she was worried that if Luo Lian's training progress was not going well, and she, as the person in charge, suddenly ran up and asked her, it might cause some unnecessary psychological pressure to Luo Lian.

Now that Luo Lian's ship girls' training has finally ended, Xiao Bai can finally relax and ask about their condition.

Upon hearing Xiaobai's question, Wisconsin and Iowa exchanged a glance. After a moment of thought, they revealed some intriguing and profound expressions.

"Ah... that's what the Admiral wanted to ask..." Wisconsin said with a complicated smile, hands on her hips and a frown on her face.

"W-what's wrong? Why are you all making those faces?" Xiaobai was taken aback by Wisconsin's strange expressions and quickly asked, "Could it be that the training didn't go well?"

"No, no, no, no—" Wisconsin shook her head immediately upon hearing Xiaobai's words, "Admiral, you've misunderstood, you've misunderstood."

"Misunderstanding?" Xiaobai tilted her head.

"If you're asking about the ship girls who trained with us, Admiral, all we can say is, it went incredibly smoothly." Wisconsin raised her arms, drawing a large circle for Xiaobai as she spoke. "I've never seen ship girls improve so quickly in my entire life! I remember these girls only trained for a little over three weeks. At the beginning, they didn't even understand some basic combat common sense like dodging, positioning, and predictive aiming. But until yesterday, when we conducted the final exercise with them and started testing their training results, we suddenly realized that their performance was now on par with, or even slightly better than, the ship girls from Chapter 8!"

"Wow! It's that obvious!" Xiaobai exclaimed, covering her mouth in surprise.

“Admiral Luo Lian’s training programs are all very scientific, and the girls are very cooperative, so the training results are excellent.” Iowa said with a smile, “Admiral Luo Lian is a very interesting person to be able to improve a group of ship girl novices to such a level in such a short time.”

"Ah... I'm relieved that you say that." Xiaobai held her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

When Xiaobai saw the complicated expressions on Wisconsin and Iowa's faces, he thought there was something wrong with Luo Lian's training...

so far so good……

Judging from what these two people said, the training results seem to be quite good...

Just as Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief, Wisconsin and Iowa, who were standing in front of her, exchanged a quick glance.

Wisconsin put on an embarrassed expression and shrugged at Iowa.

Iohua understood immediately. She slightly suppressed her smile and turned her gaze to Xiaobai's face.

"Admiral," Iowa called out.

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Xiaobai looked at Iowa.

“Since the Admiral wants to know about the ship girls… actually, we haven’t given enough details,” Iowa said to Shiro. “If the Admiral hadn’t asked, Wisconsin and I probably wouldn’t have brought it up ourselves…”

"What is it? Please speak freely."

“That’s right.” Iowa nodded gently, extending her snow-white wrist to Xiaobai, “Admittedly, according to what I and Wisconsin have said, the ship girls from Admiral Luo Lian’s family have made remarkable progress during this period. Putting aside their actual combat performance, at least in the area of ​​simulation exercises alone, their strength has completely reached the level of the ship girls in Chapter 8… but…”

"But?" Xiao Bai's heart, which had just settled down, instantly jumped again at Iowa's single word.

“Their strength only goes as far as this.” Iowa sighed and explained to Xiaobai, “Their current strength is not weak. They are at the upper-middle level in Chapter 8. At least they can stand firm in Chapter 8 and become a high-level garrison without any problem. But if they want to break into the top 100 in the world with their current strength, it will be a relatively difficult thing. I heard that Admiral Luo Lian’s goal for this exercise is to be in the top ten in the world. If we look at it by that standard, this exercise goal for Admiral Luo Lian is... probably as difficult as climbing to the sky.”

Iowa finished speaking.

Wisconsin nodded.

Both ship girls looked at Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai stood there, stunned, blinking as she processed what Iahua had just said.

amount……

What Iowa was trying to say, in short, was that... while Luo Lian's ship girls have indeed made great progress, even so, their current strength is not yet powerful enough to compete for the forefront of the world and rank among the top ten...

It's far from reaching that level.

The training time left for Luo Lian was simply too short.

It's only been less than a month.

Even if you brought over the world's number one naval base's ship girls as instructors, provided them with the world's best growth environment, offered them a wealth of resources to squander, and used the most scientific and rational training programs, they would still just be a group of ship girl rookies at the beginning. No matter how high their potential, how hard they could endure hardship, or how good their training results were, time was the most scarce and important resource for them. They couldn't possibly grow into top-ten combatants in the world in such a short time.

—This is such a matter of course.

—That's perfectly reasonable.

Rather, if they really did become one of the world's top ten fighters in just one month, then they should be the ones called in and have their urine tested.

However, Xiao Bai's long-term trust in Luo Lian made her subconsciously overlook the difficulty of the matter, always subconsciously thinking that with Luo Lian's omnipotent image, this kind of thing could be accomplished easily.

Now, Xiaobai's bubble of hope has been shattered by Iowa's finger, and Xiaobai is immediately filled with a sense of disillusionment.

Xiao Bai let out a long sigh.

"Admiral... I'm very sorry," Iowa said, looking at Xiaobai.

"As expected... the time was still too short..." The light in Xiaobai's eyes quickly dimmed, and she murmured with some regret.

“If we could cooperate a little more, at least…” Iowa said, patting his chest.

"No need to apologize for this kind of thing." Xiaobai shook her head upon hearing this. She looked up at the two ship girls and smiled. "Well... to be honest, this training mission was indeed very demanding... it's normal if we couldn't complete it. In fact, I'm quite happy that you were able to tell me the truth. Lianlian also told me before that you had cooperated enough. Some things just can't be done, and it has nothing to do with anyone else... Okay, okay, I won't say anymore. You've just finished such a long training program, so you should relax. I won't disturb your shopping."

After Xiaobai finished speaking, she waved to the two ship girls.

The two ship girls nodded and then slowly left.

As Xiaobai watched Wisconsin and Iowa's departing figures, her forced spirits immediately collapsed again.

"Oh... what... what should we do?" Xiaobai rubbed her cheek, her gaze sweeping across the square.

Nowadays, there are other new ship girls from the naval base in the square.

Xiao Bai knew that Wisconsin and Iowa were professional enough that the conclusions drawn from them would be accurate. Even so, Xiao Bai still went to other newbie naval ship girls and asked them about the combat level of the Luo Lian family ship girls in the same way.

The ship girls in the new naval base gave surprisingly consistent answers.

“Their skill level has improved rapidly, and now… they’re probably around the top 200 in the world,” Veneto of the Xiaobai family replied thoughtfully, stroking her delicate chin.

"Admiral Luo Lian's aircraft carrier sisters are so smart! They learned so quickly when I taught them how to operate carrier-based aircraft! Now they are at least in the upper-middle tier of Chapter 8!" Enterprise raised her arms and repeatedly emphasized to Xiaobai.

"From my personal perspective, it's probably a bit short of the average level of the world's top ten naval bases," Richelieu said with some concern.

"I acknowledge their efforts!!! But unfortunately, there's still too little time..." Roma, who was warming up on the sidelines of the training field, spoke with great enthusiasm in the first sentence, but when he said the next sentence, he was as wilted as a frostbitten eggplant, his face full of regret.

"..."

Xiaobai asked almost all the newbie naval ship girls, and although their replies varied, they all basically conveyed the same meaning.

Xiaobai was truly heartbroken. She leaned against a bench at the edge of the training field, scrolling through the world rankings on her phone with some distress, sighing repeatedly.

If Luo Lian fails to become one of the top ten admirals, Xiao Bai will definitely feel extremely disappointed.

Xiao Bai scrolled through her phone, her brow furrowing and relaxing repeatedly.

It really doesn't work...

Maybe I should lend a hand...

Although Luo Lian once said that she didn't want to rely on Xiao Bai in any other way for this exercise mission except to use Xiao Bai's ship girls as training partners, if things really came to the point where help was absolutely necessary, Xiao Bai would still choose to lend a hand for the sake of his close friend Luo Lian.

After all... the difficulty of this mission is truly too great.

"In short... Lianlian's current world ranking is around 800... which is basically the bottom." Xiaobai murmured, her gaze gradually hardening. "Judging from the current ranking, with the strength of Lianlian's ship girls, it should be no problem for them to climb the rankings for a while, so... the difficulty will probably start from around 200... When that time comes, if Lianlian's exercises don't go well, I'll step in! Yeah, that's it!"

Xiao Bai stood up and made up her mind.

Chapter 3281 Held on the Spot

Xiao Bai, despite his medical background, has always maintained a flexible moral bottom line.

Under normal circumstances, in events involving world admiral rankings, Xiaobai, as the world's number one admiral, would try his best to respect the rules and fairness, and refrain from abusing his privileges to act recklessly.

However, if the situation really comes to the point where Xiaobai has no choice but to use his special privileges, then Xiaobai will still choose to lower his moral bottom line a little further.

Yes……

For example, equip Luo Lian's ship girls with fully equipped B25s, then personally empower them all, maxing out their ship equipment levels. Or, he could directly find a way to challenge Luo Lian and then deliberately lose to her to boost her score... As long as Xiao Bai is willing to swallow his pride, there are plenty of ways. With Xiao Bai's current status and power, it's not entirely impossible for him to forcefully push Luo Lian into the world's top ten.

Although the consequences might be that his reputation as the world's number one admiral would further deteriorate, and then Lexington, upon learning of the situation, would confine him for a few weeks in a fit of rage...

Xiao Bai thinks he has a pretty thick skin.

So what if I get scolded...

I'll take the blame, but I won't lose anything.

As for the consequences of forcefully pushing Luo Lian into the top ten admirals...

At least in Xiaobai's opinion, Luo Lian's personal level is actually sufficient to be a top ten admiral. All she lacks now is time. As long as Luo Lian has the will, no one in the world is more suitable to be a top ten admiral than Luo Lian.

Yeah, that's right.

This is a good thing for world peace.

That's a good thing!

It's a good thing that Luo Lian has become one of the world's top ten admirals!

I'm doing this for the sake of the world!

Xiao Bai held the phone and shook it in mid-air.

—This person has started trying to hypnotize themselves to reduce their guilt about doing bad things.

Xiaobai hypnotized herself for a long time before finally putting down her phone and sighing.

"Anyway... let's go check out Lianlian's drill first..." Xiaobai murmured softly, "If possible... I still hope that Lianlian can use a special method to rush up by herself..."

……

The Admiral app recently launched a "spectator function." By paying a certain number of challenge tickets, users can access targeted information about a specific Admiral's matches in the current event, such as real-time updates on "match time," "match location," and "match opponent." The initial intention behind this "spectator function" was likely to be to make the event more entertaining for some members of the Admiral guilds; those aiming for a serious ranking goal would certainly be unwilling to waste their challenge tickets on something so meaningless.

But Xiao Bai has more challenge tickets than she could use up even if she threw them away by the pound, so she naturally went ahead and activated Luo Lian's spectator mode.

—Speaking of which, Xiaobai could have gotten all of Luo Lian's training information simply by asking her on social media.

But not for newbies.

Xiaobai has too many challenge tickets; it would be a waste not to spend some of them.

As Xiaobai paid for dozens of challenge tickets, Luo Lian's training information quickly appeared on Xiaobai's phone screen.

Luo Lian's first exercise was a random challenge she received from someone else. Her opponent was the 912th ranked town hall in the world. The exercise would begin in half an hour at Exercise Field No. 8 in Chapter 8-1.

The spectator interface provides detailed information on the two admirals' battle records and naval bases. The two naval bases are displayed in red and blue, resembling the preparation screen of some kind of battle game, giving it a particularly tense atmosphere.
