Yes, these are normal data for a guided-missile destroyer.
Xiao Bai didn't think much of it and instead looked towards Anshan on the other side.
Under Luo Lian's glasses, a string of data also appeared on Anshan's body.
Target ship type: guided-missile destroyer
Ship equipment grade: 4
Durability: 20
Firepower: 37
Lightning strike value: 1
Armor value: 24
For null values: 60
......"
Xiao Bai was slightly taken aback when he saw the data for Anshan.
"How was it?" Luo Lian asked Xiao Bai from the side, "Did you see it clearly?"
"Hmm... I see it clearly now." Xiao Bai took off his glasses, blinked, and then said to Luo Lian, "The ship equipment from Anshan... seems to be of a rather low grade?"
"Mm." Luo Lian nodded.
"So Anshan was a rather weak ship girl after all..." Xiaobai looked at Anshan on the training field with concern. "Because she's Changchun's older sister, and a special ship girl made of ship girl metal, I thought her ship equipment grade would at least be the same as Changchun's..."
“I’m also very curious.” Luo Lian stroked her chin and thought for a while before slowly saying, “If Anshan were just an ordinary ship girl, I wouldn’t be surprised whether her ship equipment ability is high or low. But she is a ship girl who was built as a reward from the research lock, and she appeared directly in a modified state. So logically speaking, her strength should not be too mediocre.”
“Yes.” Xiaobai nodded, then looked at Anshan on the training ground with a strange expression.
Anshan was unaware that her ship equipment had already sparked a discussion between Xiaobai and Luolian. At this moment, she was standing on the water, looking down at her missile launcher with a look of surprise.
"Huh... I feel... lighter than I expected."
Chapter 2631 I'm Pressing Anshan
Anshan lowered his head and stared blankly at the missile launcher in his hand.
"Sister Anshan—are you ready!" Just as Anshan was staring blankly at her own body, Changchun, who was a hundred meters away, waved her arms and jumped up and down, shouting to her, "If you're ready, the exercise is about to begin!"
“…Oh!” Anshan finally came to his senses.
Anshan took one last look at the transmitter in his hand, let out a sigh of relief, and then nodded towards Changchun in the distance.
"Ready!" Anshan shouted.
"Sister Anshan, do we need a countdown?"
"Don't we have referees? —"
"Yes!"
Anshan and Changchun reached this point, both turning their heads to look at Missouri, who was already standing at the edge of the exercise field.
This exercise is merely a small stage to showcase Anshan's capabilities, so there's no need for overly strict procedures. However, since this is Anshan's first battle since its inception, it would be best to have a fair referee.
At this moment, Missouri was smiling as she looked at Anshan and Changchun on the water. She was wearing a red sun hat that symbolized the referee, a yellow megaphone on her waist, and a flare gun that was loaded with bullets in her hand.
"Are you two ready, seniors?" Missouri raised a megaphone with his other hand and shouted with a smile to Changchun and Anshan on the exercise field.
On the training field, Changchun and Anshan raised their hands and made an OK sign.
"This exercise is a friendly exercise organized by the three admirals. The principle of 'friendship first, results second' was upheld throughout the exercise, and the outcome is unanimously recognized by all three admirals." Missouri, holding a megaphone and raising the volume, began his opening address to the entire training ground: "Both sides' competitors have entered the arena. All other senior members of the training ground, please leave immediately—to reiterate, both sides' competitors have entered the arena. All other senior members of the training ground, please leave immediately—"
Missouri controlled the volume of the loudspeaker just right, enough to reverberate throughout the entire training field.
Upon hearing Missouri's voice, the other ship girls floating on the water also moved closer to the edge of the training ground. Within minutes, a large group of enthusiastic ship girls gathered on the spectator stands at the edge of the training ground, leaving only Changchun and Anshan facing each other across the water on the huge pool.
"The exercise is about to begin! It's about to begin!"
"Is it the Changchun ship girl from Admiral Lu Lin's family that's facing off against Admiral Lu Lin's newly built ship girl?"
"I heard it's a battle between two missile destroyers! That's quite a sight!"
"The betting is open! Ship girls who bet on Xiaochangchun to win, quickly hand over your lunch snack coupons! Place your bets now—by the way, the odds for betting on Anshan to win are 1 to 1000! Anyone want to bet on Anshan to win?"
"Idiot! Even though Anshan is Admiral Lu Lin's precious ship girl, she has only just come out of the construction device. Even if she is exceptionally talented, her ship equipment level is only level 1. How is she supposed to beat Xiao Changchun, who is already at max level!"
"..."
The shore was immediately filled with the voices of the ship girls having a heated discussion.
It seems that the ship girls on shore have already accepted the outcome of this exercise.
Listening to the murmurs around her, Missouri smiled slightly, put down the megaphone, and raised the flare gun high into the air.
The moment Missouri raised her signal gun, the noisy training ground fell silent. All the ship girls held their breath and stared intently at Missouri's signal gun, their eyes wide open.
On the water, Anshan and Changchun both entered combat mode the instant Missouri raised his signal flare.
Snapped! !
After a brief pause, Missouri pulled the trigger of the signal gun, and a crisp sound instantly echoed across the exercise field.
The exercise begins!
The moment the signal gun fired, Anshan and Changchun on the water sprang into action.
Anshan and Changchun activated their ship equipment almost simultaneously, rapidly dodging and moving across the water at an extremely high speed. Surprisingly, these two figures did not launch an attack, but instead flashed rapidly among the waves.
"Wow, that's fast! Is this the speed of a missile destroyer?!"
Why aren't they attacking?
"Idiot, if Changchun launches an attack, wouldn't the battle be over in no time? Changchun will definitely have to save face for her sister!"
"Then Anshan..."
"This is Anshan's first battle, so he's probably getting used to the ship equipment—after all, you know, when the ship equipment is at level 1, the feedback is quite slow and uncomfortable."
"I see!"
"..."
The voices of the ship girls discussing things rose up behind Missouri once again.
"call."
Watching the two figures flashing rapidly on the water, Missouri put away her flare gun and megaphone. She took off her sun hat, which symbolized the referee, breathed a sigh of relief, and shook her head in the sunlight.
Missouri's long, light-colored flaxen hair swayed as she moved, drawing attention like a small waterfall.
"Missouri!" With a shout, several sets of footsteps approached Missouri amidst the surrounding chatter of the ship girls.
Missouri looked back and saw three ship girls walking towards her.
"Miss Missouri, have you finished your refereeing duties?" Among the three ship girls, the one with long blue hair, who was in the lead, stopped in front of Missouri with a smile and greeted her politely.
"Is this Admiral Nia's senior Helena? And these two are senior Takao and senior Atago?" Missouri smiled and nodded at the three ship girls in front of her, then continued with a smile on her face, "Yes, Missouri's refereeing work was just to whistle for senior Anshan and senior Changchun, and it's over now."
Kaohsiung and Atago bowed slightly to Missouri.
"It's been a long time, Your Excellency Missouri. I haven't had a chance to greet you until now," Gao Xiong said earnestly.
“Long time no see, senior Kaohsiung,” Missouri said with a smile.
"Missouri, wanna join in the fun?" Atago smiled and pointed behind her. "The Royal Ark is having a betting event on who will win."
"Thank you for the invitation, senior, but Missouri does not participate in gambling," Missouri said regretfully.
"It's not gambling, strictly speaking." Helena quickly raised her hands and waved them, smiling at Missouri as she said, "The opening of the Royal Ark is not for gambling money, it's just for small snacks, desserts, bread and the like. Everyone is just having fun and enjoying the excitement."
Missouri's eyes flashed with understanding upon hearing this, and she looked in the direction Atago had just pointed.
really.
In the most crowded spot where the ship girls were gathered, a beautiful, handsome, black-haired ship girl was sitting in front of a carpet piled with snacks such as red bean bread and instant noodles. She was grinning and organizing the ship girls around her.
"Don't rush, don't rush, one at a time! There are only five minutes left before the betting closes! Changchun's odds are 1 to 1.5, and the minimum bet is a butter biscuit. Anshan's odds have been raised to 1 to 1,500, and the minimum bet is ten red bean bread rolls!" Royal Ark said with her arms outstretched to the swarming ship girls, "Five minutes left, only five minutes left before the betting closes, everyone hurry up!"
Upon hearing Royal Ark's call, the surrounding ship girls raised their cakes and desserts high, their reaction becoming even more enthusiastic.
I'm betting on Changchun to win!
"Me too, I bet on Changchun too!"
"And me—"
"..."
Looking at the atmosphere at the Royal Ark, Missouri even noticed that the ship girls from the newbie naval base were also there, and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Missouri, want to come join the fun? It'll be a lot of fun." Helena clasped her hands together and smiled serenely at Missouri.
"Is Senior Royal Ark here to do charity?" Missouri asked Helena. "With such a huge odds of winning, surely no one would bet on Senior Anshan to win?"
"Ah... Royal Ark... She just wanted to take the opportunity to get close to the destroyers who came up to her. Anyway, the only loss she would suffer is a few thousand red bean breads, which is a huge profit for her." Helena said with a smile, "Anyway, Royal Ark won't do anything to the destroyers, and the others can get red bean breads as hush money, so they just accept this situation."
“I see.” Missouri smiled and nodded.
"Missouri, you should come too." Atago smiled and extended her hand to Missouri. "It's just a friendly exercise anyway, wouldn't it be good to have some fun?"
"That's what they say, but Missouri doesn't have any red bean bread on her." Missouri shook her head with a smile.
"I'll get it for you!" Helena quickly took out a red bean bread from her ship's storage space and said to Missouri with a smile, "These kinds of things are definitely the most fun when everyone participates!"
"Three minutes left, three minutes left!"
In the distance, the Royal Ark, flanking the approaching destroyer sisters, grinned foolishly and shouted at the ship girls who were reacting intensely.
Missouri looked in the direction of the Royal Ark, then turned her gaze to Helena and the other two in front of her.
“In that case, Missouri will accept the offer without hesitation,” Missouri said with a smile. “Consider it Missouri buying on credit from Senior Helena.”
“Okay, then I’ll go and press it for you in Changchun right away…” Helena said, turning to go and queue up at the Royal Ark.
"Senior Helena, wait a moment." Just then, Missouri suddenly called out to Helena.
"Missouri?" Helena stopped and turned back to look at Missouri with curiosity.
"Does Senior Helena have any other red bean bread?" Missouri asked with a smile. "Could you lend me nine more?"
"Eh?"
“Missouri doesn’t want to pin Senior Changchun down.” Missouri pointed to the training ground and smiled slightly at Helena. “Please pin Senior Anshan down for Missouri.”
Chapter 2632 So you're also at max level
On the wide water surface of the training ground, two figures, as swift as lightning, swept past.
The water splashed high as the figure moved.
Water droplets rose and turned into a drizzle.
As the drizzle began to fall, the figure vanished from the spot long before it arrived.
Abandoned Umbrella O Sijiu Qi III Sisou Sou————
Changchun and Anshan are closely following each other.
Anshan felt the wind rushing past his ears while breathing in the air with wide eyes.
—That's right, the body is extremely light!
—The Tier 1 ship equipment, which should be slow and heavy in its movements, now has a wonderfully smooth feeling, as if it is an extension of the body, and can move with the slightest thought!
—So comfortable, so smooth, I feel like my body and the ship's equipment have become one!
"Sister Anshan—have you adapted to the ship's equipment yet?!" Changchun's shout came from a hundred meters behind Anshan, "How are you feeling?!"
"Mmm!" Anshan smiled and turned around, saying to Changchun who was chasing after him, "Very—comfortable!"
"Now that you've gotten used to it, it's time for Sister Anshan to launch an attack on me!" Changchun called out again.
"Ha! What reason is there in this world for an older sister to attack her younger sister first! If anyone's going to fight, it's you who should strike first!"
"Eh—it's okay if the exercise ends?" Changchun, who was chasing after Anshan, exclaimed in surprise, then quickly pouted, "Sister Anshan's training level is only level 1, is it really okay for her to be so leisurely!"
Anshan didn't say anything about it, he just grinned.
Changchun, following closely behind Anshan, sighed.
For ship girls, there are many factors that determine victory in battle, such as ship equipment level, ship equipment attributes, equipment, combat skills, tactical arrangements, psychological warfare, etc. While the level advantage of ship equipment plays a very important role, it does not mean that a higher level ship will always win against a lower level ship. Of course, this is in the general case. If the difference in ship equipment level is so great that it is level 1 against a max level ship, then even if other factors still exist, the outcome of the battle will become a foregone conclusion.
