……
Just as Xiaobai and his group returned to their residence and were enjoying some leisure time with the ship girls, news about Chapter 8-1 from this morning spread rapidly throughout the entire Chapter 8 as if it had grown legs.
Chapter 8-1 is filled with a large crowd.
The once spacious beach was now teeming with admirals and ship girls, a sea of people, shoulder to shoulder. The sea breeze made the beach look like waves, and even the safe waters were now completely covered by admirals rowing lifeboats and ship girls pushing them. As far as the eye could see, the dark sea was filled with white figures, sweating and glistening in the sunlight.
A group of admirals, each standing on a lifeboat, surrounded the research and construction machine.
"The third research lock didn't have any questions, but rather a strange percentage... um..."
"So, does that mean people without a math background can start competing for research ship girl positions?"
"Yes, it's a great era, let's go!"
"Hahaha, those guys who were stuck on the shore solving problems before have become complete clowns! I don't have to put up with those math geeks anymore! Hahahaha!"
"Really, I was planning to pay a visit to Admiral Fang Jie and invite him to my residence, but now I've taken back the invitation!"
"But what exactly is this percentage?"
The admirals pondered over the research construction machine for a long time, raising their hands to tap and touch it.
"This percentage is 0.01%, does it refer to the progress of developing research ship girls?"
"What factors could cause this percentage increase?"
"Who knows? Could it be time?"
"No, no, no, it's all about investing resources... just like a normal construction machine."
"Good grief, this research lock didn't even give me a hint! I hate games that don't provide clear guidance for solving puzzles!"
"We're not here to play a game..."
The admirals on the sea spoke one after another, and everyone pondered for a long time.
"Hmm, why don't we give it a try?"
Suddenly, one of the admirals seemed to have thought of something. He took out a piece of deep-sea metal from his ship girl and tentatively approached the research and construction machine.
The moment the admiral, wielding the deep-sea metal, approached the research construction machine, the once quiet machine suddenly erupted into chaos!
"Kakakaka!!"
The research and construction machine instantly opened its giant mouth and bit towards the admiral who was holding the deep-sea metal.
"Oh my god!!!! A ghost!!!"
The admiral, wielding the Deep Sea Metal, turned pale with fright at the sudden scene. The giant steel maw instantly reached him, and he screamed as he threw the Deep Sea Metal into the air, clutching his head and crouching down.
Phew!
The research and construction machine completely ignored the admiral who had squatted down, and under everyone's gaze, it bit the deep-sea metal that had been thrown into the air and began to chew it with a crunching sound.
After finishing its meal, the research and construction machine returned to calm.
All the admirals present stared dumbfounded at the scene before them.
"I...I'm amazing! The construction machine is alive!"
"It just opened its mouth on its own and ate the deep-sea metal!"
"Damn, that was terrifying! If we had been a fraction slower, our heads would have been bitten off!"
"It's alright, didn't you see? The research and construction machine is only interested in resources, it doesn't eat people! As long as you're careful!"
"It seems this percentage refers to resources... Research and construction machines eat deep-sea metal! That's right!"
"Will it eat other things? Like oil, bullets, steel, or aluminum?"
"I don't know, who wants to try?"
"There's a fuel canister in my ship girl's equipment compartment. Let me take it out and check!"
"I have quite a lot of steel here!"
"I just replenished my aluminum supply from the Admiral's Guild, let me have some too!"
The admirals took turns bringing out various kinds of oil, steel, ammunition, aluminum blocks, and large quantities of deep-sea metals.
These displayed supplies were carefully pushed in front of the research and construction machine.
The research and construction machine instantly transformed into a steel monster, like a hunting dog that had caught a scent, and pounced on the resources, devouring them at lightning speed.
crunch...
Hua Hua Hua——
Thump thump thump——
The research and construction machine devoured all the supplies in the blink of an eye.
After finishing the supplies, the research and construction machine returned to its original position, closed its giant mouth, and fell silent once more.
"Wow, they ate so fast!"
"Go check the progress!"
"Having just fed so much, it should be at least 20-30% complete, right?"
"I just threw in all the deep-sea metal I got from this week's expedition!"
"What are you dreaming about? These are research ship girls, and we only have less than twenty people. I bet that's only about ten percent!"
The admirals quickly approached and looked at the lock on the research and construction machine.
The admirals present were all stunned the moment they saw the numbers on the lock.
"what?"
"what happened?"
"Is there a bug?"
The admirals present stared wide-eyed, dumbfounded as they looked at the lock on the research and construction machine.
The percentage on the third technological lock remained unchanged at 0.01%.
The admirals looked at each other, completely bewildered.
……
At the temporary naval base, Xiaobai, sitting in the spectator stands at the training ground, was looking down at the news on the admiral's forum.
"The third lock on the research and construction machine has been unlocked!"
"The consumption of research and construction machines is terrifyingly high!"
"It consumed the resources of ten admirals for a week's expedition, yet the progress remained completely unchanged. We then fed it the equivalent of twenty more people's worth, and the progress barely increased to 0.02%! This is outrageous!"
"I'm not playing anymore! Give me back my resources! You bastard!"
"..."
In the Admiral Forum, the posts that were filtered by newbies and only visible to Admirals at level 8-2 were full of Admirals' pitiful cries.
Xiao Bai looked at the forum posts on his phone and couldn't help but smile wryly.
"Admiral, ah—" Beside Xiaobai, Missouri peeled a green grape and smiled as she offered it to Xiaobai's lips.
"Ah—" Xiaobai bit the grape that Missouri handed her, letting Missouri's fingers gently push it into her mouth.
"My lord, ah—" Akagi from the deep sea picked a juicy strawberry from the fruit plate, pressed it against Shiro's body, and held the strawberry to Shiro's lips.
"what--"
While chewing on the sweet fruit juice in her mouth, Xiaobai leaned back comfortably in her chair, feeling the strong presence of the two bodies beside her. She smelled the rich and refreshing osmanthus fragrance emanating from Akagi, and watched the harmonious scene of the ship girls playing together in their swimsuits on the water in the training area. Looking down, Nia and Luo Lian, who were sitting under Xiaobai, had also changed into their swimsuits. Nia was applying sunscreen to her snow-white skin under Luo Lian's instructions.
The girl's body was exquisite and full.
Watching this scene, Xiaobai felt a surge of happiness.
This is what life is all about...
……
That night.
Night falls.
The commotion of Chapter 2773 gradually dissipated in the face of night.
After the ship girls had all fallen asleep, Xiaobai sneaked out of the dormitory alone. She closed the door behind her, glanced at the moon in the sky, and then slowly left the dormitory building, arriving at the gate of the temporary naval base.
Just as Xiaobai was about to push the door open and go out, a surprised shout came from behind her.
"Huh? The Admiral?"
Upon hearing the voice, Xiaobai paused, her grip on the door latch faltering. She turned around and saw a slender, snow-white figure peeking out from the nearby bushes in the darkness and moonlight.
She had long, smooth, snow-white hair, wine-red eyes, and lively, delicate features, exuding an endearing charm.
"Changchun? What are you doing here?" Xiaobai looked at Changchun in surprise.
"It really is the Admiral." Changchun parted the bushes beside her and quietly walked out. She smiled shyly at Xiaobai, "Hehe... I was so happy to receive a gift from the Admiral today that I couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk. I didn't expect to be so lucky as to run into the Admiral again."
"what……"
"Admiral, are you going out?" Changchun looked curiously at Xiaobai and the gate of the temporary naval base. "So late at night?"
"Uh... um." Xiaobai scratched his cheek and nodded to Changchun. "I need to go to the 8-1 sea area."
"Huh? 8-1? The sea area at night is very dangerous... and the Admiral's Guild does not allow admirals to go on expeditions at night..."
"That's why I had to sneak out..." Xiaobai said shyly.
"Ah..." Changchun suddenly realized, and she looked at Xiaobai for a while, "So the admiral means... he wants to go and see the research and construction machine?"
"Mm." Xiaobai nodded.
"..." Changchun didn't speak, but just looked at Xiaobai expectantly.
"...Changchun, want to come along?" Xiaobai, after being stared at by Changchun's expectant gaze for a moment, blinked and asked.
"Ah! Good—"
Changchun was overjoyed to hear Xiaobai's invitation and immediately smiled.
Chapter 2774 Sneaking Around!
In the eighth chapter of the night, the city was exceptionally quiet.
The sky was dotted with stars, which echoed the streetlights on the ground. The staggered streetlights cast patches of light and shadow on the ground. The supermarket doors were wide open, and the milky white lights and the dazzling array of goods on the counters illuminated sections of the normally dark street.
Changchun clung tightly to Xiaobai's body, her hands linked with Xiaobai's arms, and they walked together.
"Compared to a real city, Chapter City is really quiet," Xiaobai remarked as she walked, looking at the empty streets.
"Yeah, it feels like we're the only two people in the whole city," Changchun said with a smile.
"...Actually, there are quite a few people around us."
"Eh? Is that so?"
"For example, on the roof beams over there, in the alley over there, and under the streetlights over there..." Xiaobai pointed to the dark corners around them, "There are ship girls secretly watching the two of us."
"Huh? Eh?!" Changchun was taken aback. She looked down at herself and Xiaobai's affectionate behavior, then blushed and quickly let go of Xiaobai's arm. "Are there... are so many people watching us? Are they... are they the ship girl sisters from Admiral Nia's family?"
"No, that's not it." Xiaobai shook her head with a smile, "They are ship girls we've never seen before."
"A ship girl I've never seen before..."
“After all, given the current situation… Nia and I have become quite well-known in Chapter 8… It’s inevitable that we’ll attract the attention of some admirals.” Xiaobai said without changing her expression, “Before, when we were in the temporary naval base, according to the rules of the admiral’s guild, these people’s ship girls were not allowed to spy on what was happening inside. But as soon as Nia and I left the temporary naval base, these ship girls would appear around us, wanting to see what we were doing.”
"Doesn't this violate the regulations of the Admirals' Guild?"
"Even if we catch them in the act, they'll just say they were taking a walk. Zhangjiajie City isn't my home; there's no way to explain these things."
"Eh... then, does that mean when we went out earlier..."
"That's right, there were ship girls watching all day yesterday too."
"Ah..." Changchun rubbed his forehead with one hand, swayed a couple of times, and looked completely lost.
Changchun thought she finally had a chance to be alone with the Admiral, but it turns out that during this unexpected time alone, countless "third wheel" girls were secretly observing from the sidelines...
Changchun was truly devastated.
