And then, there was no more.
It seemed that something Bai Jiahei said piqued the curiosity of the Deep Sea Will. After explaining a long list of scoring rules to Bai Jiahei, the Deep Sea Will snapped its fingers and sent Bai Jiahei to Dafeng Village.
After seeing her off, Deep Sea Will picked up a map with great interest, showing the future plans for Dafeng Village. He looked at it several times, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"Luckily you have a good memory," the Will of the Deep Sea said to Little White.
"Huh? Me?"
"Correct."
“…Ah, thank you for the compliment.” Xiaobai was a little confused.
The Will of the Deep Sea traced its finger across the map, finally nodding in satisfaction.
Then, the will of the deep sea stopped paying attention to Little White.
She kept sketching on the map, and Xiaobai watched her for a long time, but she didn't react.
Xiao Bai stared at the Deep Sea Will's fingers moving across the map like scribbles. No matter what Xiao Bai asked, the Deep Sea Will didn't answer. After a while, Xiao Bai got bored and left the mental world.
Back in the real world, Xiaobai was alone in bed, wide awake. Even after Baijiahei officially entered the mental world, Xiaobai felt a sense of despair mixed with boundless energy and vitality.
Oh dear, Xiaobai, who was trying to sleep, closed her eyes and cleared her mind. After a long time, she finally drifted off to sleep in a hazy state.
The next day, Xiaobai woke up very early.
She changed her clothes, pushed open the door to her room, and outside, under the pale white sky, Bismarck, carrying a basket, was preparing to go to the market to buy groceries.
"Good morning, Bismarck," Little White greeted Bismarck.
"Hmm. So early."
"I'm not sleepy anymore."
"Insomnia?"
"No, I'm full of energy."
"Okay." Bismarck's words trailed off, "I'll go buy groceries."
Little White waved to Bismarck, and only then did Bismarck leave.
Little White closed the door, squatted down by the door, and looked up at the sky.
Although the sky was pale white, it was not yet bright. Bismarck was out selling vegetables so early, and the vendors probably hadn't all arrived yet.
Thank you for your hard work.
"How peaceful it is—" Little White murmured softly, looking at the sky.
Preparations for the first node were completed after a short night. The next day, while it was still dark, many admirals brought their ship girls to the first node early in the morning.
Because the first node closed yesterday afternoon, in order to prevent the admirals who paid protection fees from losing money, they will not need to pay merit points to enter the first node this morning.
In order to secure a spot early, these admirals would arrive as early as possible.
Because they arrived so early, the registration area at the first node was completely empty when the group of admirals arrived.
Fortunately, the staff of the Admiral's Guild started work much earlier than Xiaobai. There were already staff patrolling back and forth over the fence. Admirals who had purchased weekly or monthly cards and those who had obtained free access could enter by showing their Admiral's Certificates to them.
“Go!!!”
The pent-up anger of the admirals and ship girls, which had been building up all night, was released. The admirals rushed towards the staff of the Admiral Guild. With a thunderous sound of footsteps, the originally sparsely populated beach was instantly crowded with admirals and ship girls.
"The security ship girls patrolling the sea area haven't started work yet, so all admirals and ship girls, please be careful!" The staff shouted at the top of their lungs while frantically swiping the admirals' cards.
Of course, the admirals didn't take what they said to heart.
The deep-sea cluster is dwindling every day, and the potential benefits are enormous! Who could bear to miss out?
Under the command of the admirals, the ship girls quickly prepared their ship equipment. After listening to their admirals' instructions, those who could form teams quickly did so, while those who could not form teams called themselves a group. The sea was slightly blue in the early morning, and amidst the white waves, one ship girl after another lined up and darted into the depths of the sea.
Today is another hopeful day!
The ship girls quickened their pace, accelerating slightly.
The rewards for the first node are incredibly generous. Even though the entry fee is exorbitantly high, as long as they come to the sea and work hard for a day, their net profit is far greater than that of a normal expedition.
This includes increasing the level of ship girls, dropping deep-sea metal, and even the possibility of reaching an agreement with a high-ranking admiral in the high seas, thereby gaining access to a powerful ally.
From then on, the admirals were promoted and received raises, their combat power soared, their reputations grew, they became big shots, idols, and even married beautiful governors. The day they reached the pinnacle of their lives was just around the corner.
The ship girls are filled with the admiral's hopes.
Like a school of carp leaping over the Dragon Gate, they rumbled and slicing through the calm sea, slowly spreading out and invading the first node's sea area from all directions.
The ship girls gradually ventured deeper into the area.
"A lone Abyssal Fleet spotted!" one of the ship girls searching for the enemy suddenly shouted.
This shout immediately attracted the attention of several groups of ship girls around. As if they had discovered a walking deep-sea metal, all the ship girls released their ship equipment and stared intently ahead.
A small fleet of deep-sea amphibious ships was half-submerged underwater, cruising around as if taking a stroll.
"Target found!"
"Sisters! Fire!"
In an instant, several squads of ship girls, regardless of who spotted the prey first, opened fire directly towards the enemy.
The flames ignited the sea surface in an instant, and the scorching heat, along with the roar of the deep-sea amphibious ships, carried further and further away.
Most of the ship girls present were from the admirals of Chapters 4 and 5. Facing the Abyssal Fleet from Chapter 2, they could basically take down the enemy with one shot. After firing their shots, they carried their ship equipment and rushed towards the sea of fire as if afraid of being too slow.
"First come, first served! While supplies last!"
"There are no sisters on the battlefield!"
“Go!!!”
The ship girls rushed to the sea of fire almost instantly.
In this intense harvest mood, the ship girls infected one another with their excitement and the competitive environment, causing them to briefly abandon their thoughts, to the point that almost no one noticed.
Amidst the roars of the deep-sea amphibious ships engulfed in flames.
Compared to the previous few days, there was less pain from being beaten and more humane anger.
There was a boom.
The flames in front of the ship girl were blown away by the strong wind.
The ship girls all froze, looking at what was in front of them with incredulous eyes.
On the sea surface that had been under concentrated bombardment from the ship girls, a squadron of abyssal ships radiating a dark golden light stood up. This dark golden light acted like a sturdy barrier, resisting the ship girls' attacks. The abyssal ships roared to the sky, their massive tails slicing through the water, as wide turrets emerged one by one from their bodies and slowly extended outwards.
The ship girls' pupils all contracted.
Is this a team of deep-sea researchers?
No, they don't have the appearance of the Deep Sea Dean.
How did they manage to withstand their own attacks?
The ship girls couldn't understand it.
"Impossible!" At this moment, several ship girls with good eyesight trembled and gasped in horror after seeing the enemy clearly. In an instant, all their excitement was cooled down by the cold water.
"retreat!!"
"That's not the deep sea from Chapter Two!!"
"That's the seventh—"
Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom.
The intense cannon fire created a sea of fire on the ocean surface.
It was like a flood that flipped over.
The truckload of ants was overwhelmed.
Chapter 805 York, the Little Angel, is Unmotivated
Autumn is almost over, and the weather is getting colder day by day. The sky is a pale white, like a frozen sea, and the chill seeps down from the sky bit by bit.
At this temperature, even on a beach crowded with admirals, it was hard to feel much heat for a while. The admirals breathed on their hands and swayed their feet in the water.
"York, is your ship's equipment ready?"
A clear, melodious voice reached York's ears.
On the beach, York, who was squatting on the ground poking circles with his finger, looked up at Glory, who was calling out to him.
"Oh..." York pouted and nodded listlessly.
York got up very early today because he needed to catch the first session of the day.
Of course, as the saying goes, sleeping in late ruins the morning, and sleeping in early ruins the whole day. For many people, sleeping in too early can lead to insufficient sleep, which can easily affect their energy and spirit throughout the day.
However, this is not the main reason why York lacks energy. After all, she is a ship girl, full of energy and vitality, and waking up a few hours earlier occasionally is not a problem for her.
What affected York was what happened yesterday.
"Are you still bothered by that?" Glory asked York.
"Hmm..." York shook his head and stood up from the ground. "What exactly happened..."
"Don't take that to heart. No matter what happens, you'll always be my sister."
"...Sis, if this were a comic book, this would usually be the first thing people do to get fired."
"What are you thinking about?" Glory flicked York's forehead with his finger.
The crisp cracking sound made a small red mark appear on York's smooth forehead.
Glorious grabbed York's hand and pulled her to a corner of the beach, where Admiral Luo Yin's other ship girls were inspecting their ship equipment.
Admiral Luo Yin squatted alone by the sea, hugging his knees, holding a scroll of the admiral's manual in his hand, staring at the horizon where the sky and the sea met, breathing softly and making sounds like "Ahhhhhhh."
He looks exactly like a salted fish.
York looked at Admiral Royne, his large eyes beneath his eyebrows welling up with a pained expression.
A lot happened yesterday.
Even now, York feels a sense of disorientation as if a long time has passed when he recalls his encounter with Miss Patina, and his feelings are subtly poignant and somewhat unforgettable.
But let's put those aside for now. Neither that strange sea nor the inexplicable enemies within it matter compared to my current state.
York sighed softly, feeling all the strength in his body dissipate with that breath.
York... she's no longer one of Luo Yin's ship girls.
……Hold.
York felt that as a lady she shouldn't swear, but she just couldn't help it.
……Hold.
Important swear words should be repeated twice.
Just yesterday, after a morning of wondrous adventure, York and the other ship girls returned to the beach. After giving Admiral Luo Yin a brief account of their experiences, Admiral Luo Yin, being extremely cautious, checked the ship girls' equipment. He then discovered that his Admiral Network was completely unable to access York's equipment.
Because, at some point, York's ship rigging had been filled with a sturdy barrier as thick as a fortress.
Hundreds upon hundreds of dazzling spiritual imprints, large and small, intertwined within her ship rigging. An unfamiliar admiral's network firmly occupied York's body, spinning wildly at a speed of hundreds of kilometers per hour, wreaking havoc inside York's ship rigging. The unfamiliar spiritual imprints flickered and swayed back and forth in unison within the ship rigging, like elderly people dancing in a square. "The blue sky is my love, you are my little girl, my little apple."
It is extremely lethal.
As soon as Admiral Luo Yin's network of admirals enters, the violent mental storm will instantly transform into a powerful electric swatter, wiping out the admiral network that dares to intrude in the first instant.
—Don't you spiritual imprints have any idea who offended you?
Anyway, after many failed attempts, Luo Yin helplessly and sadly indicated that York had apparently been connected to other admirals, and the mark he had originally left in York's ship equipment had long been erased.
York immediately thought: It's over, it's all fucking over.
But then York thought, she hadn't contacted any other admirals, she hadn't even spoken much with them, so what was this network of unfamiliar admirals that had inexplicably appeared in her ship rigging?
Fortunately, although Luo Yin failed to reconnect with York's ship equipment in the end, he did not show too much negative emotion. He seemed to be inexplicably open-minded about it. Although his expression showed grief and helplessness that what was coming would eventually come, he did not show any resentment or bitterness.
York felt that his admiral seemed to know something.
She tried asking Luo Yin.
Before York could finish his question, Luo Yin frantically shook his head, quickly indicating that he knew nothing, truly nothing. It was getting late, so everyone went back to their rooms. He would report what happened in the sea to the Admiral's Guild. Ship girls, don't panic. For now, just pretend nothing happened. Everyone, proceed with your expeditions as usual. Don't panic, this time it's absolutely safe, really super safe, the kind that's rock solid. Even if you accidentally end up in some strange sea again and get blown up by some weird enemy, I, the Admiral, will risk my life to find a strong enough person to rescue you all. So, things will work themselves out. Don't believe everything you hear. Even if you can't connect your ship equipment, he won't blame York. As long as York stays at the naval base, York will still be his excellent employee. Those who know nothing are the happiest. The Admiral will always love you all, mwah! Wait, I won't listen. Goodbye, I'll take my leave first.
