Elder brother's garrison

"It seems the Deepsea Dean of Chapter Eight has used this place as a sparring ground. The ruins are littered with fragments of Deepsea ship equipment, many of which are still brand new," Captain Shi sighed, his hand returning to the steering wheel. "Well, let's hurry and see if there's anything salvageable in these ruins..."

The motor of the electric boat started up.

The electric boat began to sail through the ruins of the sea.

As the electric boat moved along, Luo Bei turned sideways and scooped up two palm-sized pieces of architectural debris from the water. She looked at them for a moment, then grabbed a pen and started scribbling notes in her notebook.

"Is this an artifact?" Xiaobai approached Luobei and asked in a low voice.

“No, these should just be ordinary building fragments.” Luo Bei shook her head. “If they were still complete buildings, then perhaps they could be considered cultural relics.”

"Then it's useless..."

“You can’t say that. Even if it’s just a fragment of a building, we can still glean a lot of information if we observe it carefully.” Luo Bei said, handing the fragment to Xiao Bai. “Admiral Lu Lin, look, this fragment has subtle patterns, right? These patterns might correspond to ancient human totems or even writing. If we can collect these fragments and gather enough samples, we can decipher a lot of information about ancient human life. And also…”

As Luo Bei finished speaking, she flipped the building fragments over and turned the broken joint towards Xiao Bai.

“These architectural fragments made of pure metal can also help us to infer the manufacturing level of ancient humans. We can even take the fragments back for research and analyze the detailed forging methods and the age of their existence.”

"Wow, that's amazing..." Xiaobai exclaimed in admiration as she listened to Luo Bei's words.

"Impressive, isn't it? It's just a small fragment, yet it yielded so much information." Luo Bei held the architectural debris in her hand, saying regretfully, "Science is about seeing the big picture from small details, exploring the truth. If the city center hadn't been destroyed, with more reference points, we could have obtained even more information..."

"Uh..." Xiaobai clutched her chest and lowered her head.

"Hey? Admiral Lu Lin, what's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing... I was just overwhelmed by the guilt I felt..."

"Admiral Lu Lin, you don't need to blame yourself... The destruction of this city has nothing to do with you..."

Luo Bei put down the building fragments she was holding and comforted Xiao Bai.

Perhaps due to the intensity of the battle between Xiaobai and Frederick the Great, the electric boat carefully searched the wrecked sea but couldn't find a single item of any value. Captain Shi, aside from muttering a few more words of anguish about the Deep Sea Dean's lack of compassion, could only reluctantly gather a few small, informative pieces of architectural debris and carefully pack them up, categorizing them as needed.

After completing the collection work, Captain Shi did not linger in the city, but instead turned the bow of the ship to the deep-sea city.

The electric boat is eager to return home.

The electric boat, escorted by the ship girls, sped back to the shore of Chapter 8, following the route it had come from.

When the electric boat returned to shore, the other members of the expedition team at the temporary base station were still surprised to see the three people back so early.

"Captain? Why are you back so soon? There are still seven or eight hours left before the exploration deadline."

"We've collected almost all the sea area data, and the progress of the strategy has been confirmed. Just in case, we've come back first." Captain Shi and Luo Bei, carrying the building fragments they brought back from the deep-sea city, didn't even bother to take off their biohazard suits before explaining to the team at the base station, "More importantly, we discovered a city in the deepest part of Chapter Eight—"

"City!!"

Upon hearing Captain Shi and Luo Bei's words, the dozen or so researchers inside the base station immediately erupted in excitement.

Captain Shi and Luo Bei shared all the data they had collected at sea, along with various photos and information about deep-sea cities, with their companions at the base station.

When they first heard about the deep-sea city in Chapter 8, the other expedition members shouted excitedly, just like Captain Shi had done before. But when they heard that the central area of ​​the deep-sea city had been destroyed by the Dean of the Deep Sea, the expedition members in the base station started howling like ghosts.

The team members were very well motivated.

Regardless, although the voyage was short, it still brought the expedition team great discoveries. After calming down, the team members held the architectural remains they brought back from the deep-sea city and began to study them with great enthusiasm.

Xiao Bai did not linger at the base station.

After saying goodbye to Luo Bei and Captain Shi, Xiao Bai returned the biohazard suit, subtly expressed her apologies to the researchers, and left the shore.

With the expedition team's sea mission completed, it meant that Mu Yu and Lin Qing could finally award the mission rewards to the newbie naval base.

On the second day of the sea mission, Xiaobai received news that Muyu and Linqin were meeting.

When Xiaobai arrived at the house where Mu Yu and Lin Qin were, besides Mu Yu and Lin Qin, Captain Shi and Luo Bei were also in the room, holding a large pile of documents.

"Hello, Chief!"

Upon seeing Xiaobai, Captain Shi and Luo Bei excitedly bowed to him.

Xiao Bai smiled slightly at the two of them, then looked at Mu Yu and Lin Qing.

Mu Yu was sitting in his seat, scratching his head and flipping through the documents from Captain Shi's office. When he saw Xiao Bai enter the room, he immediately put down the documents in his hand and stood up from his seat.

"Hi! Little White Sister!" Mu Yu gave Little White a fawning smile, then gestured for Luo Bei and Captain Shi to step back.

After Luo Bei and Captain Shi left, Xiao Bai pointed in the direction they had gone and asked curiously, "What were those two doing here?"

"What else can we do but give a report?" Mu Yu sighed. "I heard you went to sea yesterday and discovered ancient human remains? Goodness, this is the first time I've seen an expedition team so serious. They pulled out thousands of pages of work data for me. How am I supposed to finish reading all of this? They also told me they're going to contact the world's top archaeological teams and apply for more assistance from the Admiral's Headquarters. All of this is driving me crazy."

Chapter 2246 A Glimpse of Beauty

Mu Yu complained, a helpless expression on her face.

Perhaps from the perspective of someone outside the archaeology circle like Mu Yu, the discovery of the deep-sea city in Chapter 8 is not a good thing, but rather a troublesome matter that only increases the workload.

"There's nothing we can do about it. What can we do when you're the governor?" Xiaobai said to Muyu. "So, are you going to contact a more professional archaeological team?"

"Yeah, we'll just have to bite the bullet and contact them anyway." Mu Yu shrugged helplessly, but quickly stood up and asked Xiao Bai, "But that's all in the future. Little Bai, do you know why we called you here this time?"

"Hmm...an awards ceremony?" Xiaobai glanced at Ringo beside her.

With the expedition team having completed their sea mission, the final step of Chapter 8 of the Beginner's Guide to the Town Hall has also been completed. Mu Yu and Lin Qing can now rightfully award the Beginner the final reward for completing Chapter 8.

Faced with Xiaobai's words, Linqing and Muyu neither nodded nor denied them.

Mu Yu and Lin Qing exchanged a glance.

Then Ringo stepped forward and waved to Shiro.

"Ringo-neechan?" Xiaobai obediently walked up to Ringo.

"This." Ringo took a card from her waist and handed it to Shiro. "Here you go."

"this?"

Xiaobai took the card from Ringo with both hands and glanced at it.

This is a brand new Admiral's Certificate.

The top left corner of the admiral's certificate prominently displays the five gold-plated characters "Newbie Naval Base," followed by an elegant serial number "No. 000001," giving it a rather high-end look.

Xiao Bai flipped the admiral's certificate in his hand over.

The admiral's badge features a familiar naval insignia, just like the admiral's badge Xiaobai remembers.

"Is this my admiral's certificate?" Xiaobai looked at the card in his hand with a puzzled expression.

"Mm." Ringo nodded.

"I didn't lose my admiral's certificate, did I? I don't need to reissue it," Xiaobai said, puzzled.

“This one is different,” Ringo said. “Besides the function of a regular admiral’s certificate, as a pioneer of Chapter 8, this card represents your status in Chapter 8. After the Chapter 8 checkpoints are completed, you will not only be able to share 10% of the chapter city’s profits, but you can also enjoy all the services of Chapter 8 free of charge through this card. Moreover, within the scope of Chapter 8, the power of this card will be greater than that of the president of the Admiral’s Guild.”

"Oh! I see!" Xiao Bai's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly put away the admiral's certificate in his hand. "So this card is my reward."

"Mm." Ringo nodded.

"What about the one percent that Admiral Haoding gets?" Xiaobai asked again.

"Here it is." Mu Yu spoke up from the side, and pulled out a commander's certificate with the five big characters "Haoding Garrison" printed on it. The number on the commander's certificate was No. 000002. "The Haoding Commander's card is not as powerful as yours, Little White Sister. He can only share one percent of the chapter profits with this card. Other than that, there are no chapter city privileges, superior status, free services, or any other additional effects."

"Then I'll deliver it to Admiral Haoding." Xiaobai reached out to Mu Yu.

Mu Yu quickly put away his admiral's certificate.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Bai was stunned as he watched Mu Yu put away his admiral's certificate.

“Little Bai, you have so much time to care about other people, but you should at least think about yourself.” Mu Yu sighed. “Although we will indeed be giving you an award this time, Lin Qing and I didn’t say that we called you here just for this.”

"Oh? Is there anything else?"

"Of course," Mu Yu nodded.

"What is it?"

“A mission,” Mu Yu said.

"A mission...?" Xiao Bai frowned quickly upon hearing Mu Yu's words. "...I just finished completing Chapter 8..."

"Haha! As the saying goes, the capable are always given more work!" Mu Yu said to Xiao Bai with a smile, "But don't worry, little sister Xiao Bai, this mission is guaranteed to be simple."

"...Can I refuse?"

"Hmm... that's possible." Mu Yu thought for a moment, stroked his chin, and said.

"Then I refuse..."

"Don't be in such a hurry, why don't you listen to what it has to say first?"

"I have a bad feeling, so I can't." Xiaobai raised her arm and made an X in front of her with a defensive expression.

"Hahaha!" Mu Yu was already used to being rejected by Xiao Bai. There was no disappointment on his face. Instead, he laughed three times like Admiral Hao Ding, and then suddenly asked, "Little Bai, have you ever met Dean Shenhai?"

"Huh?" Xiaobai was taken aback. "What Deep Sea Dean?"

"Wait a minute, let me show you." Mu Yu turned around, pulled out a laptop from behind her, placed it on the desktop, and pointed the mouse at a video file. "Is this it?"

"……Um……"

Xiao Bai squinted, looking at Mu Yu with a wary expression, then glanced at Mu Yu's laptop.

Mu Yu pointed innocently at the laptop screen.

"..." Xiaobai lowered her arm and silently walked to the laptop. "...Then I'll take a look."

"Hey, okay." Mu Yu's face showed a smug smile of prey taking the bait, then she double-clicked the video file to open the player, "Little White Sister, look quickly."

Xiao Bai stared at the laptop screen, his eyes widening in surprise.

"How about that? Surprised?" Mu Yu said smugly. "Little White Sister, what did you see?"

"My wife isn't home tonight, let's play some men's games..." Xiaobai read aloud, word by word.

"Huh??" Mu Yu froze, quickly looking down at the computer screen, then exclaimed, "Holy crap! This isn't it, this isn't it!!!"

Mu Yu hurriedly turned off the player before Xiao Bai could see what happened next.

Ringo, standing to the side, squinted as she watched Mu Yu.

"Cough cough cough, I put the wrong one, I put the wrong one, this is... this is... this is Yu-Gi-Oh!" Mu Yu made an excuse, then lowered her head and searched through the laptop for a while before putting the laptop back in front of Xiao Bai. "Little Bai, this time it's right, this is it, you can look at it without worry."

Mu Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned on the media player.

Xiao Bai looked down at the media player.

The video file that Mu Yu opened this time was completely black and very blurry.

The video begins on a cargo ship that is experiencing a raging storm. The person filming stands on the deck of the cargo ship and is constantly swaying with the storm, and the camera angle is also constantly shaking.

"It looks like a video of a storm at sea?" Xiaobai asked.

“Exactly.” Mu Yu nodded. “Little Bai, keep watching, this video is very short.”

“…Oh.” Xiaobai nodded and continued looking at the screen.

The video of Mu Yu was poorly shot, and the equipment seemed to be subpar, resulting in an unusually blurry image and a shaky, uncomfortable view. Xiao Bai patiently watched the stormy sea for several dozen seconds, wondering if he had been pranked by Mu Yu, when suddenly, in the next second, the monotonous scene in the video changed.

The person filming in the video exclaimed in surprise and pointed the camera at the distant sea.

On the vast sea, two figures can be vaguely seen in the distance.

One blue, one red

The camera zoomed in, slowly revealing the figures in the distance.

Xiao Bai opened his eyes wide.

"Ah... this is..." Xiaobai covered her mouth.

The video ends with two deep-sea deans standing tall amidst the storm.

These two deep-sea deans were scantily clad, with sexy figures, snow-white skin, and eye-catching blue and red tattoos covering their thighs. In the dark, inverted, and chaotic sea, their presence was like two points of light in the darkness, instantly becoming the center of attention for the filming.

The camera zoomed in, and soon the faces of the two directors of the Deep Sea Institute became clear.

Those were... a pair of deep, aloof, and alluringly beautiful faces.

The video recording ended here, with the image freezing on the faces of the two deep-sea deans.

Xiao Bai stared at the computer screen and stood up.

"Little White Sister, how are you feeling?" Mu Yu asked.

"Hmm...it feels a bit strange..." Xiaobai scratched her cheek, "It looks pretty good."
