Elder brother's garrison

Page 2236

After accepting the task, Xiaobai stretched, got out of bed, got dressed, and left the dormitory.

Outside the dormitory, the ship girls came and went.

Nia was already dressed, looking ready to go, and strode out of the room and downstairs.

"Nia, you're up too." Little White smiled and waved to Nia.

"Ah! Little White!" Nia stopped and turned around, looking at Little White with surprise. "Little White, you're awake!"

"Are you going to war?" Xiaobai asked, looking at Nia fully armed.

“Yes!” Nia nodded happily, then said, “I just went to the Admiral app and got a lot of missions. I’m going to do them to get challenge tickets!”

"I'll go too! Nia, what mission did you take on?"

“They’re all 8-1! Because they’re so easy,” Nia said with a smile. “What about you, Xiaobai?”

"My..." Xiaobai recalled for a moment, then said apologetically to Nia, "Ah... it seems like all my missions are 8-4..."

"I see..." Nia nodded, though a little disappointed. "What a pity, we'll have to part ways for now..."

"I can abandon my mission to be with you."

"That won't do! There will be penalties for abandoning the mission during the event." Nia quickly waved her hand. "Little White, hurry up and complete the mission! We'll be back soon!"

"Well... that's fine too." Xiaobai nodded.

"Hehe, Little White, I'll be going now." Nia breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Little White give up. She smiled at Little White, waved, and then left.

Xiaobai watched Nia's figure disappear down the corridor.

Xiao Bai walked dejectedly to Nia's dormitory and looked inside.

Nia's dormitory was exceptionally tidy, and Luo Lian was not there.

Luo Lian said yesterday that she was going to the Admiral's Guild for a major construction project, so she probably got up earlier than everyone else...

"Sigh... Everyone's busy, everyone's busy." Xiaobai sighed and went downstairs to the cafeteria for lunch.

After finishing their meal, Xiaobai selected a few ship girls who were free and went out to the 8-4 sea area.

Only the top ten admirals have arrived in the 8-4 area so far. Therefore, when Xiaobai arrived there, the other top ten admirals had already arrived and started clearing missions and farming challenge tickets.

Hello, little cutie!

Admiral Lian held up a tablet computer and waved at Xiaobai.

"Good morning, Admiral Lu Lin! Hahaha!" Admiral Haoding was issuing commands to the ship girls when he heard Admiral Lian's voice. He turned around, put his hands on his hips, and laughed. "I never thought that thanks to this event, we would have a day to fight alongside Admiral Lu Lin!"

"We fought side by side before..." Xiaobai smiled shyly at Admiral Haoding. She stopped in front of Admiral Haoding and looked at the two of them. "Did you also accept a mission?"

"Yes."

"Hey...you guys are participating in ranked matches too...I remember Sister Lian said she'd go home after clearing 8-4?"

"I'd like to," Admiral Lian said helplessly, spreading her hands. "But another event has come up, and it just so happens to be this kind of exercise. If I skip this event, I might not even be able to keep my place in the top ten."

"Ah..." Xiaobai looked at the tablet computer in Admiral Lian's hand and chuckled.

On Admiral Lian's tablet, there was the task interface of the Admiral app, and it seemed that she was already selecting the most suitable task for her.

Ok.

For most admirals aiming for higher rankings, this event is great, but for Admiral Lian, it might be quite a torment.

Some are happy, some are sad; such is the way of the world.

Xiaobai chatted with the top ten admirals, then looked out at the sea.

It's worth mentioning that, thanks to the fact that this event is a major event concerning the top ten admirals, even Admiral Li Hua, who has been recuperating, has reportedly returned to the 8-3 sea area and started fighting alongside the other admirals. However, despite the lively occasion, Duan Shuiliu and Zhao Kuo are nowhere to be seen in the 8-4 sea area. Having relinquished their admiral duties, Duan Shuiliu and Zhao Kuo are leisurely drinking tea in their respective temporary garrison headquarters. As for Admiral Nanxing... she is still on leave today.

That's quite a bit of composure.

Xiaobai greeted the top ten admirals briefly, inquired about each other's missions, and then dispatched the ship girls to set off.

Although the Admiral's Guild has a large number of missions, most of them are not too difficult to complete, and many missions are mutually reinforcing.

For example, while patrolling a certain sea area, you can also carry out deep-sea raids. Doing these tasks together can save a lot of time.

Several hours later, Xiaobai finished all her missions. She bid farewell to the top ten admirals and left the 8-4 sea area ahead of the ship girls.

The city in Chapter 3133 is now bustling with activity, with admirals and ship girls coming and going on the streets.

Xiao Bai returned to the Admiral's Guild, where a bustling crowd had gathered to complete their missions, completely blocking the hall.

Xiao Bai was looking at the crowd with a troubled expression, but soon, Miss Divine Eagle from the Admiral's Guild recognized Xiao Bai. She kindly called over Luo Yingying, who led Xiao Bai to a VIP suite and helped Xiao Bai submit all the completed tasks.

After the task was submitted, Xiaobai's admiral account had a new currency item called "Challenge Tickets", with a total of 3200 Challenge Tickets.

The missions in area 8-4 give a lot of challenge tickets, and each one is basically a reward close to that of a daily mission.

The newbie hasn't officially started the challenge yet, so they're not entirely sure how valuable the 3000+ challenge tickets actually are.

It's said that each challenge consumes a different number of challenge tickets, and it's unclear how many people a newbie can challenge with those challenge tickets.

After thanking Miss Divine Eagle and Luo Yingying, Xiaobai once again asked them to come to his home for dinner sometime. After completing his mission, Xiaobai left the VIP suite with a smile, completely unaware that Luo Yingying's face was as pale as paper and she was trembling all over. She could only barely keep her upright with the help of Divine Eagle.

Chapter 3134 Random Challenge

After leaving the VIP suite, Xiaobai looked down at his phone as he wandered through the bustling Admiral's Guild hall.

The Admiral's Guild was far too crowded today, so before Xiaobai joined the Admiral's Guild, the ship girl team that had accompanied her on the expedition had already been disbanded, allowing the ship girls to move freely.

Xiaobai weaved through the crowd alone. Because the crowd was dense and she was just a head shorter than the average height, the admirals around her, who were enthusiastically discussing the new event, did not notice her.

Taking advantage of this leisurely time, Xiaobai overheard many of the admirals' conversations.

"Oh, you're here to hand in your mission too?"

"Yeah, it's been a long time since I did the daily tasks, so I'm a bit rusty when I do them suddenly."

"Haha, yeah, it feels like it's been years since I last worked this hard on tasks."

The admirals greeted each other and laughed heartily, as if reminiscing.

"By the way, how many challenge tickets did you use?"

"Not many, only a little over five hundred including the daily ones."

"Hmm? Not many. Which sea area did you do the mission in?"

“8-1呗……我的海域进度才到8-2的开荒期，就这还是为了前几天能看到蒙大拿才肝到8-2的。”

"That's too lazy."

"Mind your own business! How many challenge tickets did you use?"

"More than a thousand."

"What? So many? Where did they come from?"

"Don't you know? The higher the sea level, the more challenge tickets you get from completing tasks. This is a sea level 8-2 task. I heard that people in the sea level 8-3 can now get more than 1,800 tickets."

"This is so awesome, damn it!"

"You should also take some time to push through the main storyline. If you're still stuck at 8-1, you're really missing out on this event."

"Uh... I can't argue with that..."

"I happen to have a walkthrough map for the 8-2 sea area. I just used it up a few days ago. I'll give it to you while the sea area map hasn't changed much in the next couple of days. You should hurry up and clear 8-2."

"Holy crap! Dad!"

……

The admirals' chatter reached Xiaobai's ears, causing him to pause slightly while fiddling with his phone and look towards the group of people chatting.

Seeing the admirals discussing the chapter's sea area so earnestly, Xiaobai couldn't help but smile.

As the saying goes, "see the big picture in the small details."

Even a novice could tell from the conversation overheard by these admirals that the enthusiasm for expeditions in today's chapter sea area was definitely far greater than before.

As expected of Lianlian...

Xiao Bai sighed to himself as he looked down and continued scrolling through his phone.

Having obtained the challenge ticket, the next step, of course, is to find someone to practice with.

In the past, the only way to conduct a challenge was to select the admiral you wanted to challenge, follow the official procedures of the admiral's guild, report the target information, and initiate the challenge.

The exercises during this new campaign will be conducted in a different manner than before.

First and foremost, the introduction of Challenge Tickets as a currency has significantly relaxed both the cooldown time for challenges and the restrictions on challenge targets. All admirals can now use Challenge Tickets at any time to conduct targeted challenges, expanding the scope to any admiral within the eighth chapter's sea area. However, it's important to note that while the cooldown time and target restrictions have been relaxed, they are not entirely lifted. For instance, under the old challenge system, each admiral could only challenge opponents whose world ranking was limited to within the top 20 or 30. Under the new system, admirals can challenge admirals of significantly higher rankings, and even those ranked much lower. However, the greater the ranking difference, the more Challenge Tickets are required.

Xiao Bai browsed through the Admiral app for a while and quickly found the page for applying for exercises online.

During special events, the interface originally used for applying for exercises was changed to a style that matches the event.

"I want to see how many challenge tickets I need to challenge others..."

Xiao Bai muttered to himself as he opened the list of admirals.

Xiaobai is ranked number one in the world, and the closest to her ranking are naturally the top ten admirals.

Xiaobai selected the world's second-ranked garrison closest to his own, and a confirmation window immediately appeared on his phone screen.

"Should we challenge the old boss who's still pretending to be a newbie and guarding the garrison?"

This challenge requires 3 challenge tickets. (The number of challenge tickets varies depending on the rankings of both players.)

Confirm/Reject.

Xiao Bai tilted his head and looked at the phone screen.

Ok……

Can you really challenge the world's second-best naval base with just 3 challenge tickets?

With over three thousand cards in hand, wouldn't I have more than enough to use?

Thinking of this, Xiaobai rejected the system prompt, scrolled down the rankings for a while, and soon found herself outside the top 100. She randomly selected a garrison in the top 100 and clicked "Challenge".

As I tapped my finger, another confirmation window appeared on the screen.

"Should we challenge the garrison next time?"

This challenge requires 415 challenge tickets. (The number of challenge tickets varies depending on the rankings of both players.)

Confirm/Reject.

Goodness, even though we're only ranked a hundred places lower, the number of challenge tickets required has increased so much...

Xiaobai clicked her tongue in amazement. She continued to scroll down the rankings of the admirals, looking for naval districts ranked even lower.

As Xiaobai selected increasingly lower-ranked naval bases, she discovered that the challenge tickets required to initiate each challenge began to increase exponentially. By the time Xiaobai reached naval bases ranked over a thousandth in the world, the number of challenge tickets required to initiate a challenge had reached an astonishing 124091.

So cruel.

Xiaobai shook his head.

This Admiral Guild is really good at playing word games. Although they removed the target restrictions for the exercise challenges and replaced them with increasing challenge tickets, the magnitude of these increases is clearly designed to prevent players from fighting across too many levels...

Xiao Bai shook his head and closed the challenge application interface.

Just as Xiaobai was about to close the challenge interface, she suddenly noticed that next to the designated challenge page on her phone screen, there was a random challenge section.

Xiaobai paused for a moment, looked at the four big characters above the random challenge, and subconsciously clicked on it.

The page expands.

What appeared in front of Xiaobai was a Ferris wheel-like logo that looked like a flame. In the middle of the logo were the four large characters "Random Challenge" burning like flames, and below was only a bright red confirmation button.

Xiaobai clicks "Confirm".

A page resembling a Ferris wheel quickly popped up.

"If you don't want to specify a particular challenge, you can use random challenges, which will be randomly selected from a certain ranking range."

The cost of a random challenge is a fixed 100 challenge tickets per attempt. Through random challenges, you have a high probability of being matched with an opponent of similar skill level.

Will you participate?

Confirm/Reject.

"Huh? There's a random challenge too..." Xiaobai tapped his lips, looking at the screen thoughtfully. "Hmm... this matchmaking is quite flexible, and it doesn't consume many challenge tickets. I guess this is the real challenge system for climbing the rankings."

Having thought this through, Xiaobai made his decision and clicked to participate.
