Elder brother's garrison

"Little Bai, do you know that you spent just four hours clearing almost every one of the top fifty admirals on the event's leaderboard? Some of the unlucky ones were even challenged by you two or three times! My little darling, it's really hard for me to do this! Fairness, fairness! Where is the fairness?!" Mu Yu's voice was filled with misery on the other end of the phone.

"..." Xiaobai blinked blankly. After thinking for a while, she spoke into the phone, "...But...I followed the rules...Isn't that fair?"

On the other end of the phone, Mu Yu's voice was silent for a few seconds.

After a while, Mu Yu sighed on the other end of the phone.

“Little Bai, fairness isn’t such a simple thing… Following the rules doesn’t necessarily mean fairness,” Mu Yu sighed. “Preventing more people from suffering losses… that’s what fairness is…”

"Uh……"

"In short, Little White, I can't let you continue playing like this." Mu Yu said regretfully. "After today, the Admiral's Guild will slightly modify the rules to try to limit the extent to which you disrupt the experience of this event. This call is to inform you in advance, out of personal feelings, before the rules are modified—this is a rule change we have to make, and we hope you can understand."

"Oh... okay." Xiaobai thought for a moment, then nodded. "It's not impossible."

Should we change the rules...?

Ok……

Although it's a bit uncomfortable, since Mu Yu has already said so, it's not impossible to change it.

Even if Mu Yu makes further changes, it's unlikely that he'll create rules that are bad for himself... At most, he'll just reduce his influence on others.

Thinking about this, Xiaobai didn't have any particular thoughts.

"Oh... thank you for your understanding, Little White Sister."

"You're welcome."

"However, little sister, before we change the rules, I have two more things to ask of you."

"Eh? What's the matter?"

"...First of all, the rule change should be done tonight. Until the rules are changed, I request that you refrain from participating in any more activities..."

"I had already used up all my challenge tickets."

"That's great, now I'll give you another V50 challenge ticket."

"?"

"While nothing goes wrong, hurry up and take the challenge tickets to challenge Ning Lu and Jin Shiqi, who are in the top ten of the leaderboard."

"Eh? But..."

"Little Bai, trust me, the only way to help them is to get them out of the top ten." Mu Yu's voice sounded tired.

"……All right."

Xiaobai paused for a moment, then nodded.

Chapter 3144 Today's Harvest

After hanging up the phone, Xiaobai scratched his head.

It happened so fast, with a snap.

Just seconds after Xiaobai hung up the phone, her phone beeped with a system notification that the 50 challenge tickets Mu Yu had promised had arrived in her account.

Xiao Bai looked at the number of challenge tickets displayed on her phone with a complicated expression.

Judging from the time it took for the challenge ticket to arrive, Xiaobai could almost imagine Mu Yu on the top floor of the Admiral's Guild, glued to his phone staring at the leaderboard, urging him to quickly order missiles for Ning Lu and Jin Shiqi.

That's it.

Xiao Bai sighed.

To be honest, Xiaobai followed the rules of the event the whole time.

But unexpectedly... he was ultimately forced by Mu Yu to use connections.

Hopefully, the other admirals in Chapter 8 won't complain when they find out they received 50 challenge tickets from the Admiral Guild.

Opening the world rankings, Xiaobai selected Ning Lu and Admiral Jin Shiqi with complicated emotions, and finally launched a targeted challenge against their names.

Whoosh whoosh—

Shortly after, the sound of missile delivery being made could be heard at the temporary naval base's training ground.

On the world rankings, Ning Lu and Jin Shiqi were personally sent out of the top 50 by Xiao Bai.

With the departure of these two admirals, Xiaobai's account was completely depleted of 53 challenge tickets, reaching zero.

"Is this enough?"

Xiao Bai muttered to herself. She looked at the azure sky outside the window, thought for a while, and then called Ning Lu and Jin Shiqi respectively, hoping to explain the reason for the missile delivery.

A few minutes later, the call ended.

Surprisingly, Jin Shiqi and Ning Lu had no objections to Xiao Bai sending them a missile express; in fact, they even seemed relieved during their phone call.

After ending the phone call, Xiaobai's last worry came to an end.

What needs to be done today should be done today. Now it's time for Xiaobai to relax and unwind.

Xiao Bai put down her phone, lay down on the bed, and started rolling around on the bed while hugging her pillow.

……

"It's over! The admiral hasn't placed any more orders."

At the edge of the temporary naval base's training ground, Jinan, who had been sitting on a lampshade seven or eight meters high and swinging her legs, finally put her hands down. She rubbed her shoulders, exhaled, and called out to the ship girls below.

Upon hearing the command from Jinan, the two ship girls, equipped with missiles, stopped launching their missiles into the sky on the shimmering water.

"Phew—finally, it's over." Jean Bart rubbed his shoulders and said with a pained expression, "The Admiral is too much—he clearly promised to let me slack off, so why is he making me work overtime again!"

"Jean Bart, you did a great job," Missouri said with a smile as she retracted her ship equipment.

“Missouri! Tell me, the Admiral is going too far, isn’t he? He’s going too far, isn’t he!” Jean Bart seemed to have seized some opportunity, and he kept talking to Missouri.

“It is a great honor to have the Admiral’s trust.” Missouri said with a smile to Jean Bart, who was surrounding him. “Senior Jean Bart, there are some seniors who want to help the Admiral, but they can’t.”

"Huh? Who is it?" Jean Bart lowered his raised hands and tilted his head to ask.

Missouri smiled without saying a word, then turned to look at the edge of the training field.

Jean Bart followed Missouri's gaze and saw Montana, with a bored expression, sitting in a chair with his cheeks in his hands, leaning forward, his eyes fixed on the two people in the training field.

Montana's expression suggested that he really wanted to join in, but didn't know where to start.

"Uh."

Upon seeing Montana, Jean Bart instinctively shrugged, as if recalling some unpleasant memory.

Missouri smiled slightly as she looked at Jean Bart's discomfitured expression.

On the shore, a tall, snow-white, elfin-looking exposed ship girl slowly approached Montana.

Montana, who was watching the training ground with a bored expression, heard footsteps and turned her eyes slightly to the side to look at the person who came.

The people who came were from Project 24.

Project 24 held a glass of iced juice in his hands, his expression blank, his movements gentle.

"Project 24? Have you changed back into those revealing clothes?" Montana asked Project 24 after glancing at his attire.

"Answer: Admiral Lu Lin did not specify what this unit should wear inside the naval base, so this unit chose the lightest clothing to save energy." Project 24 stopped beside Montana, its eyes vacant as it handed Montana a glass of iced juice. "To prevent heatstroke during the summer."

“Saving a few pieces of cloth probably won’t save much energy…” Montana straightened up, took the juice from Project 24, shrugged while biting the straw, and still politely thanked them, “But thank you anyway, I’m a little thirsty.”

"Question: Does Montana want to join the missile squadron of ship girl Missouri and ship girl Jean Bart?" Project 24 asked, looking down at Montana who was sipping her juice.

"Yes."

"A second question: Montana's second-stage ability, the Nano Legion, can create weapons that conform to the laws of physics at will, according to its own ideas. So, according to the principle of the ability, you can also create missile ship equipment and join the Missouri and Jean Bart forces," Project 24 reminded.

"You even gave my ability a name, huh... Nano Legion... that sounds pretty good." Montana listened to Project 24's words, her lips twitching slightly as she bit her straw, then she shook her head with a smile and said, "You just said I can manufacture missile ship equipment, right? Yes, I can, but manufacturing and using are two different things."

"...explain, request."

"My ability is ultimately just to create weapons. In the end, what happens after the weapons are created is no longer my concern." Montana raised her palm, a flame flickering between her fingertips. "For example, I can use this ability to create knives, swords, even sticks, daggers, and other cold weapons, but I myself won't learn knife skills, sword skills, or stick skills because of this ability... The weapons I created before, such as naval cannons, carrier-based aircraft, and torpedoes, were either weapons I already knew how to use or weapons I had learned to use. But missiles... sigh."

Montana shrugged helplessly as he finished speaking.

“Missiles are too sophisticated and too difficult to use. I don’t have that kind of talent right now, so I really can’t use them,” Montana said, looking at the training ground. “Even if I could manufacture a missile ship system, I still wouldn’t be able to use it well. You see, even when Missouri and Jean Bart use missile ship systems for beyond-visual-range strikes, they still need Jinan’s auxiliary positioning. I… I’m definitely more suited to one-on-one, straightforward situations. Sigh… when will it be my turn to take the field?”

After Montana finished speaking, he stretched.

The 24th Engineer listened quietly to Montana's words, then blinked her empty eyes.

"Received: Information on Montana's lack of expertise in missile weapons has been compiled into a document and added to the database."

"..." Montana looked helplessly at Project 24, sucking on his juice with even more force.

……

Before I knew it, it was already afternoon.

As dinner time approached, Luo Lian finished her ship girl training for the day and returned to Xiao Bai's dormitory.

Nia also chose this time to end her day of exercises and returned from outside the naval base with a group of ship girls, looking travel-worn.

Upon seeing her two friends, Xiaobai, who had been idly relaxing in her dorm all afternoon, immediately got up and inquired about their experiences.

There's not much to say about Luo Lian for now. She spent the whole day at the temporary naval base managing the ship girl training, creating or modifying individual training plans for each ship girl. Occasionally, admirals would challenge her through the admiral app, but she would simply refuse to admit defeat. By the end of the day, her new ship girls had become much stronger, but the naval base ranking had also plummeted to around 400 or 500.

As for Nia...

When Nia returned, she sat next to Xiaobai with a silly grin. When Xiaobai didn't ask her anything, she just kept giggling. Xiaobai asked her if something good had happened, and Nia said that through her own efforts, she had fought more than forty exercises in one go and finally pushed the naval base's ranking from outside the top 1,000 to the top 600 in the world.

Luo Lian had previously predicted that Nia's true strength was probably around the top 100 in the world. The reason her actual ranking was so low was simply because she had never seriously participated in ranked practice matches.

Now that Nia is seriously climbing the ranks, she won't need to worry about whether she can win or not for a long time. Before reaching the top 100 in the world, with Nia's skill, her journey to climb the ranks shouldn't encounter much resistance.

It's just a matter of time.

Luo Lian was right.

Seeing Nia's relaxed demeanor, seemingly effortless despite being ranked 600th in the world, Xiaobai couldn't help but feel relieved about her situation.

Xiao Bai chatted with her two friends for a while, and the three of them went downstairs for dinner. They then went to the ship girl repair pool to take a bath, and then treated Luo Lian's nosebleed that she couldn't stop. Time quickly passed and it was evening.

Nia and Luo Lian returned to their dormitory to rest.

Xiao Bai lay alone in bed, scrolling through his phone, constantly refreshing the Admiral Forum.

Today, perhaps because it's the first day of the event, the Admiral's Forum is exceptionally lively.

Xiaobai casually browsed the admiral forum and found that most of the posts were from admirals in Chapter 8 complaining about today's event.

And many of these posts seem to be related to themselves.

"This is my first time participating in the URF ranked match. Has anyone seen the changes in the world rankings today? I'm trembling with fear."

"Today's world rankings are simply a one-sided massacre..."

"Report! The world's number one admiral has single-handedly become a detector for the top ten admirals, winning 74 consecutive battles with a perfect record of 0 losses! And every battle ended within five seconds!"

Chapter 3145 The Newbie Under the New Rules

"Further announcement! In addition to the points system, this event also features a hidden points system!"

"It is said that more than fifty admirals met with misfortune today... The biggest thing these admirals have in common is that they accidentally broke into the top ten... and before they could even settle in, the world's number one orienteering challenge was sent to them."

"Damn it! That's me today! I finally made it into the top ten in the world, and as soon as I got there, the world's number one knocked me out of the top fifty!"

"It's too awful!"

"Hello, I am the vengeful spirit who has been challenged three times by the world's number one admiral. I am currently in stable condition."

"How come my points dropped so much after the exercise with the world's number one admiral?!"

"It's said that the hidden MMR of the world's number one player is just too high, and with the added bonuses, the consequences of losing to the world's number one player are extremely severe..."

"Wait a minute, isn't anyone going to discuss the world's number one admiral's missiles?"

"I've seen it, I've endured it, I've suffered it, there's nothing more to say."

"Can anyone withstand five seconds of the world's number one missile? ... It is said that according to the exercise rules, if you survive five seconds without falling, the world's number one loses."

"Any brothers or sisters have figured out how to survive a missile? Just five seconds is enough!"

"You're right, but the world's number one missile is..."

"..."

Xiao Bai lay on the bed, scrolling through posts on the Admiral's Forum.
