Elder brother's garrison

"Furthermore, I discovered another area that can be optimized: at the start of the game, simply standing on the north side to pull the monsters will draw away the aggro of the Abyssal Fleet..."

The second admiral to clear the fifth floor raised his arms and shouted, which immediately inspired the other admirals.

Time continued, and throughout the afternoon, more and more admirals cleared the fifth level. Gradually, as the number of cleared levels increased, the admirals' discussions became more and more heated, and the scores... that is, the resources, obtained by the later admirals also increased.

"The carrier's bombardment will first take down the enemy battleships, and it can also clear out the smaller enemies next to the battleships, saving a minute!"

"Although the fourth floor is a free fish-fry floor, bringing an extra light cruiser will actually increase the overall clearing speed by five minutes!"

"Only those who conquer the fourth level can claim the highest reward!"

Tips on how to speed up the process of dividing the data into smaller segments have also begun to circulate.

180,000... 185,000... 190,000...

Finally, the challenge scores of ordinary admirals gradually reached the 200,000 mark, and then gradually stopped.

As night fell, the ship girls of Nia Naval Base arrived on the sea, much to the anticipation of the admirals.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the ship girls of Nia's Naval Base entered the Black Tower.

Time passed second by second, and the ship girls of Nia's Naval Base cleared the fifth floor of the Black Tower without any surprises, returning to the outside of the Black Tower almost unharmed.

At the same time, five huge black shipping containers fell from the sky.

The patrol team stepped forward to count the number of rewards. After the number was verified, the ship girls on the patrol team all showed surprised expressions.

The score for clearing Nia's Garrison is... 235,000!

This is the highest score to date!

Chapter 3980 Dream Back

After Nia's Garrison, several other garrisons successfully cleared the fifth floor of the Black Tower, but the highest score they achieved was only slightly over 200,000, far from reaching the level of Nia's Garrison.

Time slips away unnoticed.

The enthusiastic atmosphere at node 8-4 remained as intense as a burning flame. The admirals and ship girls' passion never waned until the moment of sea closure arrived. Only then did the admirals disperse amidst a lingering sense of reluctance, leading the ship girls on their journey back to the chapter city.

At the Admiral's Guild, after finishing the last work document delivered to him in his office, Xiao Bai put down his pen with a sigh of relief, stretched his body gently, and yawned contentedly.

"Ah—finally off work!"

Xiaobai got up from her office chair and looked at Chaoda sitting on the sofa not far away.

Aside from occasionally helping Xiaobai transport documents, Chaoda and Xiaobai were basically idle all day with nothing to do. In order not to disturb Xiaobai's work, she would just sit quietly on the sofa, staring blankly at the coffee table, lost in thought.

Upon hearing the commotion coming from Shiro's side, Chaoda immediately snapped out of his daze and looked towards Shiro.

"Admiral, are you off work yet?"

As Chao Da spoke, he quickly stood up from the sofa.

“Yeah, today is finally over.” Xiaobai said to Chaodahe, “Today, the guild kept popping up a bunch of tasks every now and then from morning till night. Although each task doesn’t take long, the frequency of them is just too much… It’s really making my time fragmented… If all those tasks could all come at once, I could finish them all in one go and then I could rest.”

"Hmm..." Chao Dahe nodded silently as she listened to Xiao Bai's words, smoothing the hair behind her ear.

"Alright, we've finished everything for today anyway. It's already time for the sea to be closed for the night, so let's hurry off work and head back to the temporary naval base." Xiaobai smiled as she walked up to Chao Yamato and took her wrist.

He nodded unconsciously.

Shiro and Chao Yamato walked side by side, and the two arrived at the teleportation room in the guild hall. They rode the teleportation vortex back to the temporary naval base together.

The temporary garrison's teleportation point remains located in the food warehouse.

When Xiaobai and Chaoda came out of the food warehouse, Xiaobai, who was walking in front, didn't even have time to see her surroundings clearly. She heard a series of light footsteps, and a warm and soft body rushed towards her.

"Little White! You're back!"

A clear, joyful voice, like that of a young girl, rang out. The next second, a real, visceral impact came, and Xiaobai felt herself being tightly embraced by a soft and full body.

Xiaobai was knocked back two steps by the person who bumped into her, and she managed to steady herself by grabbing onto Chao Yahe's arm.

"Nia... take it easy..." Xiaobai felt the soft pressure from her chest and couldn't help but smile helplessly. Then she patted the person's back and said, "I can't breathe."

"Little White, welcome home!" Nia tilted her head up in Little White's arms, rubbed her cheek against his cheek with a smile, and gave him a kind smile. "You got off work much later than usual today!"

"Yes, the Admiral's Guild had quite a few things to do today... Hmm? Nia, were you waiting for me?"

"Yes, I've been waiting for you ever since I returned to the temporary naval base." Nia released Little White, took two steps back with her hands behind her back, and said to Little White, "Little White, have you seen my results for today?"

"Yes, it's the score for clearing the Black Tower, right?" Xiaobai nodded, giving Nia a thumbs up, her praise undisguised. "Two hundred and thirty thousand points, that's the highest score so far."

"Hehe." Nia scratched her head sheepishly. "Actually, I'm not that good. If I had challenged the Black Tower in the morning, I probably would have only gotten 200,000 points. But I thought you, Xiaobai, would definitely figure out the lineup in the Black Tower and then reveal it, so I kept refreshing the Admiral Forum. Sure enough, I waited until the afternoon and got the information I wanted. Then I looked at the enemy lineup and adjusted my fleet composition slightly, replacing Laffey and the others to improve the team's anti-submarine capabilities, which saved a lot of time and allowed me to get such a high score."

"That's exactly what the admiral does," Xiaobai smiled.

"But the newbie naval base hasn't even started its challenge yet. If you were to take on the challenge, you should be able to easily get a perfect score, right?" Nia asked Xiaobai.

"..." Xiaobai's smile remained unchanged as she spoke to Nia, "Nia, actually I've already finished the challenge."

"Huh? Have you finished the challenge?"

"Yes."

"Then why didn't I see any of the ship girls from the newbie naval base going out..."

"I had the ship girls from the Admiral's Guild help me with the challenge," Xiaobai explained to Nia. "There's a ship girl in our Admiral's Guild named Ticonderoga. She's now linked with me on the Admiral's Network, so I had her lead the team to fight for me... Hmm... I remember they also got over 200,000 points, but not as many as you, Nia."

"Huh? No...no, not as high as mine..." Nia pointed to herself, her eyes widened, her mouth slightly open, and then a look of tension immediately appeared on her face. "Then...then what should I do? How can I possibly score higher than you, Xiaobai..."

"puff."

Xiaobai was immediately amused by Nia's reaction.

Nia... she really likes to think about strange things.

She wouldn't think she wouldn't allow her score to be higher than hers, would she...?

Xiao Bai felt a little amused and exasperated.

"It's just the score for clearing the Black Tower. Besides, even if your score is higher than mine, what's wrong with that?" Xiaobai said, tapping Nia's hand and smiling at her. "Given our relationship, I'd love for you to get a perfect score."

The moment Xiaobai spoke, Nia's eyes welled up with tears.

"Little White—Waaah! Little White!" Nia was so moved that she rushed over again and hugged Little White tightly.

……

After Xiaobai and Chao Yamato returned to the temporary naval base, she said goodbye to Chao Yamato and was then taken by Nia to the cafeteria for a meal.

Nia seemed to have a lot to say today. During dinner, she told Xiaobai about what she had seen and heard during the 8-4 node.

For example, a commander from a certain naval base was arguing with someone about how to clear the Black Tower. He clearly stated that a trapezoidal formation should be used on a certain floor to speed up output and save time, but another commander refuted this, saying that it would increase the risk and make it less stable. In the end, the two commanders from the naval base could not convince each other and argued on the beach until they were red in the face, almost taking off their clothes and fighting on the spot. Other people on the beach couldn't stand it anymore and stood up and said that they should show their scores and see who had the higher score. As a result, the two commanders stammered for a long time and said that they were eliminated after only reaching the third floor, which made everyone on the beach burst into laughter, and the atmosphere was filled with joy.

For example, the admiral of a certain naval base, knowing full well that there were underwater monsters on the fourth floor, still stubbornly led his entire battleship fleet to challenge the Black Tower. When reminded, he insisted that his battleships were too strong and could easily defeat the underwater monsters after they ran out of oxygen and surfaced. However, his fleet didn't even last two minutes on the fourth floor before being routed by the submarines' torpedo barrage. After his ship girls returned to shore in a sorry state, the admiral, facing the stares of others, blushed and said that the floor level didn't matter; what mattered was the time spent with the ship girls and the courage to face the challenge, and so on...

Everything that happened on the beach was quite fun. Nia kept talking to Xiaobai, and Xiaobai was happy to listen.

Time came to night unknowingly.

After finishing their meal, Xiaobai and Nia went to the repair bathhouse for a bath.

It was a rare moment of relaxation, and Xiaobai soaked in the bathtub for a little longer than usual.

Nia liked spending time with Xiaobai, so she naturally joined Xiaobai in soaking in the water.

In the end, of course, Xiaobai enjoyed a comfortable bath thanks to her ship girl constitution, but Nia was dizzy and lightheaded. When she came out of the bath, she was so weak and flushed that she couldn't even put on her clothes properly and collapsed on the ground in a daze.

After taking a bath, Xiaobai helped Nia, who had fainted in the bathtub, back to the dormitory. She carried the unconscious Nia back to bed and glanced at the sky outside the window.

It was already very late, and the sky outside the window was full of stars. The night was incredibly peaceful.

Xiao Bai looked at the sky for a while, then took out his phone to check the time. It was a little after 11:50 p.m., just a few minutes before midnight the next day.

"Time flies," Xiaobai couldn't help but exclaim.

"Yes...yes..." Nia, lying on the bed, heard Xiaobai's voice and mumbled a sentence in her sleep.

"Nia, you're awake." Xiaobai put down her phone and looked at Nia.

"...Huff...huff..." Nia's face was flushed from being soaked in water. She breathed out small puffs of hot air, her body twisted like a caterpillar, not responding to Xiaobai's words. "...Washing dishes...washed so many dishes today...Cleveland...we have our living expenses for tomorrow..."

"..."

Xiaobai smiled as she watched Nia's almost dreamlike mutterings.

Washing dishes... Did Nia dream about what happened when she was still in the first chapter?

Chapter 3981 Surprise?

Xiaobai put her phone back in her clothes, sat on the edge of the bed, gently patted Nia's thigh with one hand, and looked out at the sky.

To be honest... even Xiaobai felt quite dazed.

Sitting in the temporary garrison of Chapter Eight, beside Nia, looking at the sky of Chapter Eight... this made Xiaobai recall the series of events that happened when she met Nia in Chapter One.

Nia, whom I met in the first chapter, was a girl who was bullied and whose admiral license was even revoked. She could only barely support herself and her only ship girl, Cleveland, by washing dishes in the guild to make a living. She was probably the most miserable admiral I had ever seen.

Xiaobai was quite young at the time, and because she simply "felt good looking at her," she provided Nia with considerable help.

Although the help they provided was just a drop in the ocean for a novice, it was still a tremendous amount of assistance for someone they had just met.

It's no wonder that for a long time afterward, Nia was mistaken by those around her as someone being "kept" by a high-ranking admiral, since the level of assistance she received far exceeded what the admirals in the first chapter could comprehend.

Time flies.

Thinking about this, Xiaobai couldn't help but sigh.

I never expected... that the person I met in the first chapter would end up following me to the eighth chapter...

Xiao Bai glanced back at Nia, who was half asleep on the bed.

Actually, when Xiaobai helped Nia, he never expected Nia to repay him.

Xiao Bai even thought that perhaps after saying goodbye to Nia, he would never have the chance to see her again.

At that time, Xiaobai's state of mind was similar to that of someone who had just gained supreme power and wanted to find a place to show it off. Her help to Nia was merely an impulsive act on a whim.

Xiaobai is much more mature now than she was back then; she wouldn't do something like that now.

But what I did before...

God knows, fate is unpredictable.

After receiving help from Xiaobai, Nia's life seemed to be like that of a protagonist in a novel who had a miraculous encounter. From then on, her life grew as if she had a cheat code. Even her lucky aura was awakened. She rose all the way from the first chapter, to the second chapter, the third chapter... and finally jumped to the eighth chapter in one go, where she reunited with Xiaobai in the supreme realm of the admiral.

Finally... she even became one of the top ten naval bases, becoming someone that everyone looked up to.

Thinking that this "character" was someone he had discovered from the very first chapter and watched grow along the way, Xiaobai couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment.

In a sense... this can also be considered part of the nurturing system.

Xiao Bai couldn't help but smile as he looked at Nia's sleeping posture.

However... the sleeping postures of these top ten admirals are rather childish.

Xiao Bai got up, looked around, and finally saw a neatly folded bathrobe on the chair next to Nia's bed.

Xiao Bai looked at the bathrobe and pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly, deciding to help Nia change into her pajamas before leaving.

Little White crawled to Nia's side, looking at Nia's slightly breathing face and her fair cheeks with a slight blush. She reached out and gently unbuttoned Nia's blouse.

Snapped!

Since leaving the first chapter, perhaps because her living conditions have improved considerably, or perhaps because she has been completely relieved of mental stress and now has something to strive for, Nia is no longer the pale, thin, and frail woman she was in the first chapter.

Nia now has fair skin and a rosy complexion, and is in the prime of a human woman's youth and radiance, especially her chest... Back in the first chapter, Xiaobai felt that Nia's development was much better than his own, and now, in the eighth chapter, Nia's development has reached a level that Xiaobai can only dream of.

Xiao Bai only unbuttoned one button, and Nia's clothes burst open at the chest. Xiao Bai had never seen such a scene before when she was changing clothes, which made her silent for a long time.

"Ugh."

Xiaobai sighed at the air, then silently helped Nia take off her top.

The sleeping Nia cooperated quite well with Xiaobai's movements. Occasionally, she would make some indistinct murmurs because of Xiaobai's movements, but her body was soft and she did not resist the clothes being peeled off her body.

Xiaobai folded Nia's top, from the coat to the shirt, and placed them aside. Then, he reached out and touched Nia's waist.

After taking off my shirt, the next step is to take off my pants...

Xiao Bai hooked Nia's pants and, with a rustling sound, pulled the trousers down from Nia's legs.

Nia's legs involuntarily came together under the pressure of the pants. As Xiaobai pulled the pants down to her knees, she was left wearing only her underwear.

Moonlight streamed through the window and fell on Nia. Her porcelain-white skin seemed to shimmer under the moonlight, and the red undergarment covering her chest and upper thighs was accentuated by the rise and fall of her body, making her look like two roses blooming among white rose bushes.

"Uh... I'm getting a little stuck..."
