"Hmm... I guess so. What about you, Sister Nanxing?" Xiaobai put down the binoculars and smiled at Nanxing.

“…It doesn’t seem to be Huai Ren.” Nan Xing didn’t answer directly, but lowered her gaze slightly and said slowly, “But I feel that being with her would be a bit tiring.”

This statement is quite in line with Nanxing's character.

Xiaobai handed the telescope back to Nanxing and smiled at her.

Seeing the admirals gradually putting down their binoculars, Ning Lu raised her arm and smiled as she spoke to them.

"Did everyone see the salvaged ship girl?!"

"Yes, I saw it." Xiaobai nodded.

So, what are your thoughts?

"As expected of a salvaged ship girl, she has a very simple yet powerful presence." Admiral Haoding said from the side, "I had heard about battles involving constructed ship girls before, and I thought that salvaged ship girls would also be the kind of special ship girls with dazzling skills. But after seeing her fighting style just now, I didn't expect her to perform so simply."

“Simplicity often means invincibility,” Duan Shuiliu said. “If the skills are unusual enough, they can indeed make people anxious at first sight. But on the other hand, as long as you master the way to deal with difficult skills, it is not difficult to defeat the enemy in one move. But if it is a simple fighting style, in a sense, it has no flaws.”

"Oh... Sister Duan is so right." Xiao Bai nodded in agreement as she listened to Duan Shuiliu's words.

"The visual impact of the battle isn't actually that impressive, but if you think about it carefully... it's pretty much what Duan Duan said." Admiral Lian and Admiral Ling nodded in agreement. "There's really no shortcut to defeating these ship girls; you can only fight with sheer strength."

Ning Lu listened to the discussion and a smile appeared on her lips.

"As expected of a top ten admiral, you saw the most crucial information at a glance." Ning Lu said admiringly to everyone, "According to our observation, the strength of this salvaged ship girl lies in the fact that her combat power comes from her excellent and precise combat skills. Because of this, defeating her is an extremely difficult task."

"When did she appear?" everyone asked.

"Reporting to all admirals, it was at 5:59 this morning, just as the sea opened, that the admirals who came to this area found her." Ning Lu picked up her notebook and said to everyone, "At first, others thought she was a lost ship girl, but after interacting with the ship girls and demonstrating some extraordinary combat power, she immediately began to accept the admirals' challenges and hasn't rested since."

"You've been playing for so long..."

“That’s what I’m saying.” Ning Lu smiled at everyone and continued, “Well… generally speaking, special ship girls are born with not only maxed-out training levels and superb combat skills, but also unique ship equipment skills. For example, the ship equipment skill of construction ship girls is to absorb the power of others’ luck. Research ship girls—well, she hasn’t been born yet, so we don’t know, but the situation should be similar to that of construction ship girls. This salvage ship girl hasn’t shown her ship equipment skills yet, but based on our observations and speculations, this special ship girl’s skills—or rather, her special features—are probably related to the clothes and decorations she’s wearing.”

"Clothes and decorations?"

"Yes, the clothes this ship girl is wearing are not just decorations, but equipment that provides her with considerable combat advantages," Ning Lu said. "Some of these pieces of equipment seem to be able to analyze ballistics, some can enhance physical fitness and movement, and others allow her to accelerate and decelerate at will, control her own path, and so on... In short, with these pieces of equipment, this ship girl can further widen the gap between herself and ordinary ship girls, thanks to her already powerful combat skills, and thus win the battle with overwhelming force!"

"I knew those clothes looked so interesting, turns out they're equipment!" The top ten admirals exclaimed in realization. "So, the amazing ability to salvage ship girls is because of the equipment they wear?"

"That's a preliminary assessment," Ning Lu nodded.

"Now we need to make a proper plan," Admiral Lian said.

"What kind of challenge did she propose to the admirals?" Duan Shuiliu asked.

"As you can see, she is challenging the admirals' entire squad of assault ship girls all by herself," Ning Lu replied. "No matter what method is used, or whoever it is, as long as we can get her into a heavily damaged state, we win; otherwise, we lose."

"One against six, huh...?"

"She did not limit the number of ship girls that could challenge her at the same time, but based on the admirals' experience over the past few hours, six well-coordinated ship girls seem to be the closest to defeating her. If the number is more or less than that, the balance of victory will tilt more towards salvaging the ship girls."

Chapter 2968 Hidden Rules

"Hmm? Does having more ship girls in a ship girl fleet make it easier to lose to salvaged ship girls?"

"Why?"

The top ten admirals all looked puzzled as they listened to Ning Lu's speech.

"Because this salvage ship girl is extremely adept at dealing with battles where outnumbered opponents are outmatched." Ning Lu smiled slightly as she looked at the expressions of the top ten admirals, then flipped through her notebook and explained to everyone, "This morning at six o'clock, after the sea blockade in the 8-2 area ended, the admirals officially made contact with the salvage ship girls who came here. A total of sixteen admirals chose to fight against them with ship girl fleets with more than twenty members. Naturally, these admirals wanted to rely on sheer numbers to win, but unfortunately, facing such a large ship girl fleet, the salvage ship girl only took a few more minutes to defeat them all."

"It took a few more minutes... so the human wave tactic worked, right?" Xiaobai asked from the side.

After Xiaobai finished speaking, the other top ten admirals all smiled and looked at Xiaobai with affection.

"Huh? Did I...did I say something wrong..." Xiaobai felt a little embarrassed by the stares from the others.

"Admiral Lu Lin, although salvaging ship girls does indeed take longer when facing large ship girl fleets," Ning Lu explained to Xiao Bai, "the number of ship girls that need to be sunk when salvaging ship girls also increases. If you distribute the combat time among each ship girl, you'll find that once the number of ship girl crew members reaches six, as the number of ship girl crew members slowly increases, the average time required for salvaging ship girls to defeat each ship girl actually decreases in a particularly exaggerated curve, getting shorter and shorter."

Ning Lu then showed everyone the notebook in her hand.

Ning Lu's notebook contained an xy coordinate axis, where x represented the number of members in the ship girl fleet and y represented the average time required to defeat each ship girl after salvaging them. The curve on this axis was very smooth. When the number of ship girls increased from one to six, the curve increased slowly. When the number of ship girls reached six, the curve reached its peak. From then on, with each increase in the number of ship girls, the curve decreased rapidly at a steeper angle than before. Especially after the number of ship girls reached the record high of twenty, the curve almost plummeted towards the x-axis like a waterfall.

The top ten admirals looked at Ning Lu's notebook and nodded in agreement.

"I see. In that case, a regular fleet consisting of six ship girls is the most effective lineup to defeat salvage ship girls," Admiral Ling nodded and said.

"Admiral Lu Lin, can you understand this?" Admiral Hao Ding turned around and asked Xiao Bai with concern.

"I just never went to university... but I can still understand this kind of coordinate axis, which is at the junior high school level..." Xiaobai scratched his head and smiled bitterly.

"You, Haoding, your words are so unpleasant to hear! Apologize to the little cutie right now!"

Admiral Lian jumped up and slapped Hao Ding's dark, shiny back of the head so hard that the sound was audible to everyone present.

"Hahaha! Admiral Lu Lin, I'm so sorry! I was too talkative!" Admiral Hao Ding laughed heartily, bowed to Xiao Bai, and sincerely apologized.

"It's nothing, it's just a small matter, it's nothing..." Xiaobai smiled wryly and quickly waved his hand at Haoding.

"But why is it that when there are six ship girls, it takes the longest to defeat each opponent when salvaging ship girls?" Admiral Ling asked from the side. "Hmm... does salvaging ship girls really like the number six?"

"It shouldn't be," Duan Shuiliu shook his head. "A small fleet of six ship girls is a formation that humanity has slowly developed over the past five hundred years since emerging from the gap in time. With six ship girls in a group, as long as the ship types of each ship girl are properly matched, the ship girl fleet can produce many specialized offensive forms. Moreover, when the number of ship girls reaches six, the responsibilities assigned to each ship girl in battle are just right. If one of the ship girls in the fleet is injured, thanks to the flexibility of the six-in-one formation, the other ship girl members can also take over and complement each other's responsibilities in the shortest possible time, increasing the adaptability and sustainability of the battle."

"Yes, Admiral Duan Shuiliu is right." Admiral Haoding said to everyone, "That's why we admirals usually choose six ship girls to form a fleet when we are exploring the sea. And even when facing a large abyssal army of tens of thousands, when we are leading a large number of ship girls on an expedition, we tend to divide the ship girls into groups and form countless six-person squads to carry out command and communication and distribution of combat information."

"I see." Xiao Bai, who had been listening to everyone's conversation, finally understood.

"It seems that if we want to defeat the salvaged ship girls, we can only choose a fleet of six ship girls per group," Admiral Ren said.

"It just so happens that everyone brought their ship girl fleets today." Admiral Ling glanced back at her, then asked Ning Lu, "Admiral Ning Lu, if we want to challenge ourselves to salvage ship girls, do we need to pay an entrance fee or something?"

"No need." Ning Lu closed her notebook and said to everyone, "Challenging and salvaging ship girls doesn't require any procedures, nor do you need to hand over any supplies, resources, or anything else. As long as the ship girl you're salvaging agrees, that's fine."

"What a waste," Xiaobai said.

"Hmm?" Everyone looked at Xiaobai.

"Uh...no, it's nothing." Xiaobai quickly lowered her head.

Only then did everyone look up and continue to look at Ning Lu.

"So, Miss Ninglu, how long will we have to wait in line if we want to challenge the ship girl salvage now?" Admiral Lian asked Ninglu again. "It seems like there are quite a few people waiting to challenge here."

"Haha, it won't take long at all." Ning Lu smiled at everyone, glanced at her notebook, and then said, "Well... if we don't consider the possibility of someone giving up their spot for the top ten admirals, it should be about another half hour."

"Eh? So fast?"

Everyone was surprised.

At this moment, the admirals and ship girls entrenched in the 8-2 sea area were so numerous that they could only be described as a sea of ​​people, shoulder to shoulder.

"With so many people here, will it only take us half an hour to get a turn?" Admiral Lian asked.

"Admiral Lian, you've misunderstood. Although there are many people here, not everyone is here to queue up," Ning Lu said with a smile. "Most of the admirals on the beach are just here for fun and haven't signed up yet. The ones who are really going to challenge the ship girls are just these admirals on the beach."

"why?"

"This all starts with the rules of salvaging ship girls." Ning Lu held up a finger and said to everyone, "Didn't I just say that the rules for salvaging ship girls are very straightforward? No matter what method you use, no matter how many ship girls you use, as long as you can get her into a heavily damaged state, you win, right?"

"Yes." Everyone nodded.

"Actually, besides this, there's another hidden condition in the battle rules for salvaging ship girls," Ning Lu added.

"Hidden...conditions?" Everyone tilted their heads.

"That means each admiral can only challenge once with the ship girl they send out," Ning Lu said. "If the ship girl is defeated, then the admiral will forever lose the qualification to challenge for salvaging ship girls."

"Huh? Is that so!"

The top ten admirals opened their eyes and...

"What if we use a ship girl instead?" Admiral Lian quickly asked.

“Someone has tried it.” Ning Lu seemed to have been waiting for this question. She smiled and looked at Admiral Lian. “Just this morning, a total of twenty-eight admirals chose to switch to the new lineup and pretend to be new admirals to repeatedly challenge the salvage ship girls. But as soon as those new ship girls came into contact with the salvage ship girls, they were recognized by the salvage ship girls. The salvage ship girls told them that although she would not refuse to fight them, if the same admiral initiated a repeated battle, even if she could win the second time, she would not submit to their admiral.”

"The ship girls have all changed, how did she recognize them?" Everyone wondered.

"Hmm... I guess it's because they can use the high-tech equipment on the ship girls to identify the admiral's network inside them? That's probably the reason," Ning Lu thought for a while and then shared her speculation with everyone.

Ning Lu's speculation lacked evidence, but its reasoning was still convincing.

The top ten admirals nodded thoughtfully, accepting this conclusion.

"That's all the information I can share with you admirals regarding salvaging ship girls!" Ning Lu put away her notebook and addressed the top ten admirals. "Ah... I said too much at once, so there might be some omissions. Feel free to come to me and fill in any gaps!"

"Haha, thank you so much, Admiral Ning Lu!"

"Little cutie, your friend is amazing! 8-2 has only been open for a few hours, and she managed to gather all the information so well despite all the interference from other players." Admiral Lian patted Xiaobai on the shoulder, looking at her with admiration. "You've trained a really great subordinate!"

"Uh... um..." Xiaobai felt the touch of Admiral Lian patting his shoulder and smiled awkwardly.

Xiao Bai turned her head and secretly glanced at Ning Lu.

Ning Lu also had a silly, self-satisfied smile on her face as she looked at Xiao Bai, appearing completely innocent.

That's a lie...

Xiao Bai has no idea how to train intelligence personnel. Ning Lu's intelligence skills are so high because Mu Yu has put in a lot of effort to select talent and invest heavily in training her. To be honest, Xiao Bai is just taking over Mu Yu's business.

"Well, since salvaging ship girls can only be done once, I need to think it over carefully." Admiral Lian sighed and said to everyone, "I'll probably watch the salvaging ship girls fight against other ship girls and gather some information about salvaging ship girls before making a decision. I guess the admirals here have the same idea."

Chapter 2969 The Myth of 1v200

"Hmm..." Admiral Ling nodded to everyone after thinking for a while, "Lian and I will wait and see. Since we only have one chance, we won't challenge her today."

"Where's Duan Duan?" Everyone looked at Duan Shuiliu.

"I don't know," Duan Shuiliu replied.

"Eh... I don't know what that means..." Admiral Lian and Admiral Ling smiled awkwardly.

“I don’t know the difference between the combat power of the top ten admirals and the ship girls they can salvage, so I can’t formulate a sortie plan yet,” Duan Shuiliu said, shaking his head. “I’ll wait until you’ve finished your challenge before we talk about it.”

"Wow... Duan Duan, you're so despicable." Admiral Lian and Admiral Ling complained.

"Little cutie, what about you?" Everyone looked at Xiaobai again.

"Ah... I didn't bring any ship girls out today... or rather, my ship girls have actually been quite busy lately," Xiaobai blinked and replied.

"Hahaha!"

Just then, Haoding's loud laughter came from around them.

Everyone turned to look at Haoding.

Hao Ding walked up to the crowd and showed them a set of snow-white teeth.

"Alright! Since everyone wants to collect data on the combat power gap between the top ten admirals and the salvaged ship girls, then this person can only be myself!" Admiral Haoding said cheerfully. "Admiral Lian, Admiral Ling, and Admiral Duan Shuiliu! Next, I will lead my ship girls to challenge the salvaged ship girls, so please be sure to record the fighting postures of my ship girl warriors!"

"Hey! Admiral Haoding! I knew it was you!" Admiral Lian immediately clapped at Haoding, her face full of emotion. "I will remember your contributions to us!"

"Hahaha, Admiral Lian, although I'm the first top ten admiral to challenge the salvage ship girls, I don't intend to fight just as an intelligence gatherer!" Admiral Haoding laughed heartily. "Although I'm the first among us to appear, my goal is still to defeat the salvage ship girls!"

"What a spirit!"

Everyone sighed with emotion.

Behind the top ten admirals, the surrounding admirals immediately stirred when they heard that Admiral Haoding was going to step in to challenge the salvage of the ship girls.

Although salvage ship girls have been overwhelmingly dominant against ship girls since their appearance, the top ten admirals are the idols in the hearts of admirals. Hao Ding, as the "combat power admiral" among the top ten admirals besides the world's number one, is incredibly intriguing to see what kind of sparks he will create with salvage ship girls.

In an instant, the crowd surged wildly, with admirals pushing and shoving as if they wanted to squeeze their heads out.

Admiral Haoding turned to look at Ning Lu.

"Admiral Ning Lu, which way do I go to register?"

“Ah… that’s it…” Ning Lu pointed to one side of the sea.

Admiral Haoding smiled at Ning Lu and nodded gratefully. He was about to lead the ship girls to the queuing location.

However, at this time.

Before Admiral Haoding could take a step away, a series of sound effects, like a mountain collapsing, rang out from behind the crowd.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Upon hearing this sound, the top ten admirals and Hao Ding instinctively stopped and looked towards the back of the crowd.

A commotion erupted from the crowd, with admirals exclaiming in surprise. Then, the onlookers were pushed aside by a tremendous force, as if the dense crowd had been violently struck by a giant beast, creating a long path. Hundreds of ship girls followed this forcefully created path, escorting a male admiral forward like an army, until they reached the top ten admirals.

"Wow, what a grand display!" Admiral Lian said, raising an eyebrow as she looked at the ship girls in front of her.
