Elder brother's garrison

Page 2235

Hmm... this time the rules seem quite unique.

Previous admiral ranking challenges were just simple ranking exchanges, but this year's challenge has so many variations, and it even includes sea sorties, solving the problem of admirals neglecting their daily guild tasks if they get too engrossed in exercises and neglect expeditions...

The rule-makers this time are quite impressive.

Xiao Bai thought for a moment, took a sip of water, and continued watching.

See the last line.

"The final interpretation of the rules for this Infinite Firepower Ranking Tournament rests with Admiral Luo Lian, currently the world's second-ranked admiral."

"puff--"

Little White was drinking water when he choked and sprayed out a rainbow.

Chapter 3131 Deep Planning

"Cough cough cough cough cough cough————"

After spraying the rainbow spray, Xiaobai, choked by the spray, covered her mouth, turned to the side, and leaned against the table, coughing violently.

Luo Lian and Nia, who were discussing the exercise plan, immediately stopped their discussion and ran up when they heard Xiao Bai cough.

"Hey! Xiaobai, what's wrong? Did you choke on your water?"

Nia put Xiaobai's water cup aside and picked up a towel to wipe Xiaobai's mouth.

"Could it be that I drank something unclean?"

Luo Lian patted Xiao Bai's back and asked from the side.

"Cough cough...no, no..." Xiaobai covered her mouth and shook her head. She looked at the two people in front of her with concern, took a deep breath, then widened her eyes and quickly grabbed Luo Lian's wrist, asking in surprise, "Lianlian...you...when did you do such a thing!"

"When...?" Luo Lian looked at her wrist, which was being tightly gripped by Xiao Bai. Her gaze then fell on the phone screen on the table, which still had some water droplets on it. Then, Luo Lian suddenly realized something and asked Xiao Bai, "Xiao Bai, were you browsing the Admiral Forum just now?"

"Yes, yes..." Xiaobai swallowed hard, released Luo Lian's wrist, and nodded hurriedly.

"I knew it." Luo Lian bent down, picked up the phone on the table, wiped the water droplets off the screen, and handed the phone back to Xiao Bai. "So, Xiao Bai, you must have seen the new rules on the Admiral Forum, right?"

"Um……"

"Don't you like the new rules?"

"Not really... I just saw the last sentence," Xiaobai said. "It says that Lianlian has the final say on the interpretation of this new rule..."

"Oh, you mean this?" Luo Lian nodded upon hearing this. "Of course, because this new rule was commissioned by the Admiral's Guild to be customized by me."

"...The Admiral's Guild commissioned you?" Xiaobai stared wide-eyed.

"Yes, it happened a while ago," Luo Lian said. "Didn't I tell you before that I put a lot of effort into working with the Admiral's Guild in order to legally inherit the world's second-largest naval base?"

"Yes, I did say that..."

"This is one of the things I've put in." Luo Lian pointed to Xiao Bai's phone, her slender fingers tapping lightly on the screen. "Through helping Nia climb the rankings, I gradually discovered that the ranking system the Admiral's Guild usually uses has significant flaws. As you know, when I encounter something imperfect, I think about how to improve it. So I spent some time organizing my ideas for a new ranking system into a document, adding some quantification and data, and integrating it into an algorithm before submitting it to the Admiral's Guild. Of course, to make the Admiral's Guild take my opinions seriously, I did borrow some of your and Teacher's names during the submission process. I hope you can understand that."

"My title?" Xiaobai pointed to himself, looking curious. "How do you use it?"

"I said I'm the closed-door disciple of the world's second-best admiral, and also a classmate of the world's first-best admiral." Luo Lian said, hands on her hips.

"So that's how you borrowed it?" Xiaobai suddenly seemed a little disappointed.

"In short, by using your names, I forced the Admiral Guild headquarters to take me seriously, and they did study my new plan," Luo Lian said. "After a period of discussion, they also thought my new plan was good. However, as we all know, the Admiral Ranking System is a rule that the Admiral Guild has had for hundreds of years. Although this rule is indeed outdated and no longer suitable for the present era, it is still something left by our ancestors. If we suddenly change or move it, we need to consider both the feedback and public opinion. Therefore, in order to test the feasibility of this new plan, I proposed to them that we could first conduct a short-term pilot implementation in Chapter 8."

"..." Xiao Bai listened blankly to Luo Lian's words, "So... this new Infinite Firepower ranked match plan... was it you who proposed it, Lian Lian?"

"Yes."

"The Admiral's Guild... just agreed to your proposal like that?"

“They have no reason to refuse.” Luo Lian shook her head and said calmly, “After all, this plan not only alleviates the panic caused by the sudden vacancy of the top ten admirals’ positions, but also improves the quality of the admirals’ exercises, making the newly appointed top ten admirals more competent. More importantly, the plan itself does not cause the admirals to neglect their duties, and may even further promote their enthusiasm for expeditions. The Admirals’ Guild also thinks my plan is sound, so they are preparing to implement it. Oh… by the way, they also agreed to let me inherit the world’s second-largest naval base.”

"You agreed so readily..."

"After all, although I set the rules, I'm also subject to their operation." Luo Lian pushed up her glasses and said confidently, "This Infinite Firepower Ranking Tournament, besides filtering out the top ten admirals, can also essentially eliminate high-ranking admirals with inflated rankings. You see, in the eyes of the admiral guilds, I, who inherited the world's second-ranked naval base, am the admiral with the most inflated ranking. Once the event starts, even if the admiral guilds do nothing, I will quickly fall from the world's second position and return to where I should be. So, by letting me inherit the world's second-ranked naval base, they can not only do me a favor, but also prevent my inflated ranking from affecting the prestige of the top ten admirals. Most importantly, it also reasonably solves the problem of the empty shell naval base that has been dominating the world's second position. It's a win-win situation."

"Ah..." Xiaobai blinked.

The amount of information Xiaobai received from Luo Lian was so overwhelming that it was difficult for her to process it all.

"Wait... let me think for a moment." Xiaobai covered her head and thought for a while, then looked up at Luo Lian with a complicated expression, "So... Lianlian, you mean that although you inherited the world's second-largest naval base, your position will be immediately overtaken as soon as this event starts...?"

“This is an unavoidable situation,” Luo Lian said. “After all, I don’t have any ship girls right now, and my ranking is so high. Defeating me will give me a lot of points. Once the event starts, I will be everyone’s experience bag. Nobody will want to not practice with me. Hmm… Based on my prediction, once the event starts, my ranking will probably drop from second in the world to outside the top 1,000 within three days.”

"Huh? Isn't that very serious??"

"It's alright, it's still easier than me slowly climbing from tens of thousands to a thousand on my own." Luo Lian gave Xiao Bai a reassuring look, and then said, "The event still has more than a month to go, I can just go to the Admiral Guild to build a big project in the next couple of days, I'll catch up quickly."

"Sharpening your spear at the last minute..."

"Even if it's not bright, it still shines." Luo Lian smiled gently at Xiao Bai. "Don't panic, it's not a big problem."

Xiao Bai looked at Luo Lian, who had a relaxed expression, somewhat speechless. She opened her mouth again and again, but finally sighed and lowered her head.

Ok.

It seems that Luo Lian really does have her own plans.

"Lianlian, so all this time, you were in the second chapter, thinking about this new ranking system, huh?" Xiaobai said.

"How could that be? I came up with this system in just half an hour," Luo Lian said.

"Huh? What do you do the rest of the time?" Xiaobai was stunned.

“Dealing with the higher-ups of the Admiral’s Guild is a huge waste of time. Their meetings often last all day, and it’s usually three or four days before they get back to me,” Luo Lian said. “Besides, I didn’t start from this angle in the first place… In reality, things are always more complicated.”

Xiao Bai nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Just then, Nia, who was standing behind Xiaobai and Luo Lian, kept switching her gaze between the two of them.

Finally, Nia couldn't contain herself any longer, clenched her fist with excitement, and said to them.

"So... so Luo Lian became the referee for this event!" Nia said in surprise.

"..."

Xiao Bai and Luo Lian looked at Nia's delighted expression. They were initially helpless, but then they smiled at each other.

"How could that be...?"

Xiao Bai and Luo Lian spoke in unison.

Nia...

It turns out there are many players who are even less clear about the situation than newbies.

……

Regarding the new rules for this Infinite Firepower ranked match, in addition to the initial few rules, there are some supplementary contents. Looking at the whole set of contents can be a bit tiring, but with Luo Lian, the creator of the rules, explaining them, Xiao Bai and Nia found it much easier to understand.

Tonight's night is exceptionally short.

the next morning.

When Xiaobai woke up from her sleep, she lay in bed looking at the ceiling, and she could vaguely hear the noise outside.

The noise wasn't coming from inside the temporary garrison, but from throughout the entire city of Chapter Eight.

Xiaobai got out of bed, yawned, grabbed her phone, and glanced at the time.

It is now 9:05 AM, five minutes have passed since the start time of the event as indicated in the new rules.

No wonder it's so lively.

Xiao Bai stretched while holding his phone, then opened the Admiral Forum and browsed through the posts.

By this time, the admirals on the forum had already read through the new rules of the event in detail throughout the night.

These sudden new rules have drawn criticism from those who are not used to them, while praise from those who are. However, many posts are discussing how to make better use of the ranking system to gain more points.

In short, the first step in the event is definitely to earn challenge tickets.

Xiaobai closed the Admiral Forum and opened another Admiral software.

Another software for admirals, also released by the admiral guild, is used to help admirals accept daily tasks issued by the guild online. When they don't want to accept tasks, they can also use this app to check the guild's task status and the schedule of various activities. It is considered an essential part of the daily work procedures for admirals.

Chapter 3132 Challenge Ticket

Xiaobai rarely logs into this software, since she seldom accepts daily tasks from the Admiral's Guild. Although she has had this task posting software for a long time, she has used it far less often than the Admiral's Forum app.

Xiaobai opened the app and entered the eighth chapter section.

Soon, an event notification with a flame icon appeared in the forum.

Xiaobai clicked on the event reminder, and the interface quickly redirected to a special page with the words "Unlimited Power Ranked Match" written in large, passionate characters.

"It looks pretty good..." Xiaobai muttered, continuing to read.

The first thing you see on this event page is the new event rules. Xiaobai had already read these rules over and over again on the Admiral Forum, and she could even recite them by heart. So she scrolled down and swiped to the event's task interface.

The most crucial item for launching a challenge during the event is a special currency called "Challenge Ticket".

Despite its name, the Challenge Ticket is not a physical item, but rather a form of electronic currency similar to Admiral Merit Points.

Therefore, admirals cannot trade challenge tickets privately. Anyone who wants to obtain challenge tickets must follow the rules of the admiral's guild and obtain them by completing the admiral's guild's tasks.

As for the challenge ticket missions issued by the Admiral's Guild... they are actually just normal missions on weekdays, with varying levels of difficulty, nothing special. However, during the event, in addition to the normal rewards, these missions also offer an extra number of challenge tickets as a reward.

Xiaobai opened the task interface, casually flipped through it, and read a bit.

Daily Mission (1/3): Go to any sea area in Chapter 8 and collect 15 pieces of deep-sea metal.

Task time limit: 24 hours.

Mission Rewards: xxxx resource rewards, 150 challenge tickets.

Rare Mission (Special): Patrol the 8-2 sea area, patrol time 6 hours.

Task time limit: 6 hours.

Special requirements: This mission can be accepted by a maximum of six admirals at the same time, and there will be a penalty for failure.

Mission Rewards: xxxx resource rewards, 40 challenge tickets.

……

Xiaobai scrolled down for a long time, but still couldn't reach the end.

The Admiral's Guild has so many missions...

Xiaobai sighed, then flipped the task page to the top and looked at the three shiny daily tasks at the very top.

The daily rewards for admirals are often quite generous. Compared to ordinary missions, daily missions are usually simpler and easier. Many admirals insist on going on every mission every day, mainly to maximize their daily reward share.

Admirals can only receive a few dozen missions at a time, and how to assess the value of these missions and obtain the most challenge tickets in the shortest time with the lowest risk is currently a hot topic of discussion on the admiral forums. But no matter how admirals discuss it, the daily missions are often the most valuable.

In short, Xiaobai first accepted all three daily tasks.

As for the other tasks, Xiaobai simply picked some that didn't seem too troublesome and had decent rewards, and quickly filled up the task limit.
