Elder brother's garrison

That's great, this is my admiral.

Ticonderoga clearly sensed that Little White possessed an aura that fascinated her immensely. It was a kind of beauty that seemed to pull her out of a viscous, deep swamp and bring her back into the sunlight.

Ticonderoga was tempted.

She must become this person's ship girl, and she wants this person to become her admiral.

must!

Chapter 3967 The Mutant Tower

After witnessing Ticonderoga's resolute and determined expression, Xiaobai finally deeply understood her thoughts and resolve.

I see……

She made this choice without hesitation simply because establishing a connection with the Admiral Network would allow her to devote herself more deeply to the work of the Royal Guard... It's unexpected that Ticonderoga is such a selfless person willing to dedicate herself to her work.

Xiao Bai is starting to dare to move.

Thinking about this, Xiaobai felt that if he continued to refuse, he would be letting down Ticonderoga's sincerity.

“Okay, I understand completely.” Little White nodded to Ticonderoga. “Since this is what you want, then so be it.”

"Thank you, Admiral!"

Ticonderoga's clear eyes immediately sparkled with joy and anticipation. A faint blush rose on her cheeks, and her hands unconsciously clenched together, squeezing the hand that Little White offered her so tightly that it cracked.

"……"noob.

Well... at least you can tell that Ticonderoga must be very excited right now.

Xiaobai felt the force coming from her palm, feeling her fingers being squeezed into various arcs by Ticonderoga, as if they were about to break at any moment. She clearly felt that if the hand Ticonderoga was squeezing at at this moment was not hers, but that of some other ordinary human... this hand would probably be broken and shattered.

Humanity still has a long way to go in dealing with ship girls.

Xiao Bai muttered to himself.

"Then let's link up the admiral network."

"Yes, Admiral!" Ticonderoga immediately closed his eyes upon hearing this. "I will fully cooperate with you!"

"There's no need to act like this is a major crisis... It's just a normal mental link, nothing dramatic... Now." Xiaobai explained, her fingers gently moving in Ticonderoga's palm, and then a wisp of mental energy emerged, quickly seeping into Ticonderoga's body through her hand.

When Xiaobai's spiritual power entered Ticonderoga's body, it did not conceal its presence, so Ticonderoga immediately sensed Xiaobai's presence.

With her eyes closed, Ticonderoga let out a soft "Ah," and then the blush on her cheeks deepened.

With a casual gesture, Xiaobai's spiritual power dissipated within Ticonderoga's ship equipment, transforming into an exquisite mark that remained in a boundless, dark spiritual landscape resembling a starry sky.

"Ticonderoga, all done," said Xiaobai.

"Ah...it's...it's over already?" Ticonderoga opened her eyes, looking at Little White with some confusion.

"That's right, it's over in a flash." Xiaobai nodded with a smile and joked, "The ship girls who often link their minds with the admiral should know that this is a very quick and efficient thing to do."

"..." Ticonderoga ignored the little white boy's joke, looked down at her palm, then looked up cautiously at the little white boy, scrutinizing his appearance, "...Strange...why hasn't it changed..."

"Hmm? What's changed?"

“I heard from my companions that once a ship girl establishes a mental link with an admiral, no matter what kind of admiral he is, the ship girls will find him more and more pleasing to the eye, and eventually they will like him very, very much…” Ticonderoga said cautiously, “But when I look at you, admiral… I feel the same as before, there is no change.”

"This is a mental link, not hypnosis..." Xiaobai smiled bitterly. "If a mental link really had the effect of forcing ship girls to fall in love with the admiral, there would be no examples in this world of ship girls who have been abused for a long time being unable to withstand the pressure, leaving the naval base to seek help from others, and finally causing the military police to come out and arrest them."

“Oh, that makes sense.” Ticonderoga suddenly understood.

"Don't worry, I won't mistreat you," Xiaobai said with a smile.

"Hey." Ticonderoga chuckled briefly, then shyly brushed a stray hair behind her ear and grinned at Whitebeard with an expectant smile.

"The duties of the Royal Guard are not fixed for now. In short... during working hours, just wait near my office and await my summons. You can freely use the entertainment facilities in the lobby and the goods in the convenience store; those are part of the perks of being a Royal Guard member. Of course... now that you are my ship girl, you have the right to enjoy those things as well," Xiaobai said to Ticonderoga. "However, don't stray too far. If I need you, I will call you immediately."

"Understood, Admiral!"

Ticonderoga's already high-spirited expression became even more fervent after hearing Shiro say that she was her ship girl.

"Okay, then I'll leave this place to you from now on."

"Nice to meet you, Admiral!"

"Nice to meet you." Xiaobai smiled, looking at Ticonderoga's spirited appearance. After a slight pause, she suddenly seemed to remember something and casually asked, "Oh, by the way, how are the three companions who were sucked into the Black Tower yesterday?"

"Are you referring to Cologne, Karlsruhe, and Königsberg?" Ticonderoga replied immediately. "Thanks to you, their ship equipment has been almost fully repaired after a night of work in the Admiral's Guild's repair pool. It's expected to be completely repaired in a few hours! The three from Karlsruhe are currently in the repair pool under the care of their two teammates. Once their ship equipment is repaired, they will come here to report to you as soon as possible!"

"Well, it's okay."

“The Karlsruhe women would love to thank you in person!” Ticonderoga continued. “They say you are the best person they have ever met, and they are honored to work under you!”

"Thank you for the compliment." Little White accepted Ticonderoga's praise with composure.

Xiao Bai actually wanted to chat more with his new ship girl, Ticonderoga, but as time went on, he saw the ever-increasing pile of documents on his desk and knew he should get back to work.

Ticonderoga was also a quick-witted person. Seeing that Xiaobai was about to start working, she did not stay in the office. Instead, she bowed to Xiaobai and said that she was going to go outside to keep watch.

A royal guard should act like a royal guard.

Xiao Bai smiled and nodded, watching Ticonderoga leave the office. Once Ticonderoga was gone, Xiao Bai finally picked up his pen and began flipping through the documents on his desk.

In fact, given Xiaobai's work efficiency, even if these documents are delayed until the afternoon, they won't slow him down at all when he leaves work.

—However, that's the point. Considering that Luo Yingying was so busy dealing with these tasks that she needed an IV drip and even went into shock, Xiaobai felt that she should still show some of the same attitude towards work.

If these documents can be processed as soon as possible... then let's process them as soon as possible.

……

Processing documents is a rather tedious process, much like a factory assembly line.

All morning, new work continued to be delivered to Xiaobai's office from downstairs.

Xiao Bai had just finished processing three or four work documents when another one was handed up from downstairs.

Fortunately, at least at Xiaobai's current pace, the number of work documents in front of her is decreasing at a constant and steady rate.

Even so, the number of files was somewhat beyond Xiaobai's expectations.

To speed up the file processing a little, Xiaobai started to take things a bit more seriously.

With one hand flying across the documents on the table, stamping them one by one with the chairman's seal, her other hand moved like an unhindered entity, typing away at various files on the office computer, switching between proposals, plans, and employee assignment statements. As her work pace quickened, the pile of precisely printed and meticulously processed documents grew higher and higher in front of her.

When Xiaobai was working, the super-large size made it impossible for him to get involved.

All morning, Chaoda and Du could only sit on the sofa directly opposite Xiaobai, holding an empty coffee cup, helplessly and blankly watching Xiaobai sort and arrange the work documents.

In her helplessness, Chao Dahe stole several glances at the empty secretary ship's desk.

Iowa, the chief secretary ship of the Admiral's Guild, did not return to Chapter 8 with Shiro, which means that Shiro's work at this time was done along with the secretary ship's part.

It turns out Iowa's workload was so high before...

The admiral works so fast, can she keep up, and even be of help...?

Looking at Xiaobai, who was completely unable to get involved, Chaoda couldn't help but admire Iowa's strong work ability. Then, he picked up the light, empty coffee cup and nervously took a sip from the rim.

There was no coffee in the cup, but the act of drinking coffee gave Chao Da a wonderful sense of reassurance that he had something to do.

Time flew by and it was noon.

Xiaobai quickly finished processing the last document. She looked at the printed proposal in front of her, then glanced at the work content on the computer screen one last time. Finally, a satisfied smile appeared on her face as she closed the document completely.

"Well, once I finish this document, I don't have anything else to do for the time being." Xiaobai called out to Chao Yamato, "Chao Yamato, could you please take these organized and categorized documents on my desk to Ticonderoga outside and have her deliver them to Miss Yingying?"

"it is good!"

Chao Dahe immediately stood up, walked quickly to the table, picked up the folders that looked like a small mountain, and continued walking quickly towards the door.

After Chao Da left, Xiao Bai stretched.

She leaned against her desk, took out her phone, and logged into the Admiral Forum.

Actually, while handling the Admiral Guild's work, Xiaobai realized that a significant portion of the tasks he was dealing with were related to the Black Tower after its mutation today.

For example, exploring the Black Tower...

For example, the challenges in the Black Tower...

The survey on the admirals' willingness to participate in the Black Tower event, and the movements of the ship girl teams deployed within the 8-4 node, etc...

Chapter 3968 Rules are as follows

Thanks to the various documents provided by the Admiral's Guild and the information they collected for Xiaobai, Xiaobai is now fully aware of the changes in Chapter Eight without leaving home.

Xiao Bai sat in his seat, browsing the Admiral Forum and looking at the discussion posts of the Admirals, while recalling the archives he had read during his early days at work.

……

The strange sound that echoed throughout Chapter 8 last night did not, unexpectedly, cause widespread panic.

To be honest, they truly deserve to be called the admirals of Chapter 8. They are all knowledgeable, experienced, and have a strong heart.

Despite the strange changes in the sea, the admirals still maintained a spirit of exploration.

That's why the strange noises that appeared last night did not affect the admirals' enthusiasm for going on expeditions today. In fact, the number of expeditions at node 8-4 today was even higher than yesterday.

The admirals headed straight for the Black Tower again today.

As the first few admirals continued to make contact with the Black Tower, the patrol teams present immediately discovered new information.

First and foremost, the most obvious information is that... the ship girls who challenged the Black Tower yesterday, when they came into contact with the Black Tower again today, actually managed to enter its interior once more.

Unlike when they first encountered the Black Tower yesterday, they were not rejected by the strange force field on its outer shell.

Furthermore, when the ship girls entered the Black Tower for the second time, they disappeared for an even longer period of time, far exceeding the ten-minute or twenty-minute time limit. They did not reappear until two hours after yesterday's longest clear time.

At first, the ship girls present and the patrol ship girls around them all thought that some kind of sudden change had occurred inside the Black Tower.

They suspected that the seemingly simple challenge had become extremely dangerous overnight, thus swallowing up the ship girls who took the challenge the next day.

Just as the patrol team of ship girls were considering whether to put up a new cordon around the Black Tower and warn nearby ship girls to avoid entering, suddenly, the first team of ship girls who had entered the Black Tower appeared outside the tower, covered in wounds, two hours and eight minutes later.

The first group of ship girls who entered the Black Tower were covered in wounds, their ship equipment torn and their ship clothes ripped and burned. After they came out, they all knelt on the sea, panting heavily and extremely weak, as if they had just escaped from the jaws of some ferocious tiger.

However... compared to their terrifying injuries, the expressions of the first group of ship girls who emerged from the Black Tower were exceptionally excited.

According to the patrol team's ship girls' records, after emerging from the Black Tower, the ship girls, covered in wounds, first stood still and caught their breath for a while. Once they regained their strength, they excitedly raised their arms and began to shout and cheer wildly to the surroundings.

"We made it!"

"We've made it through!"

"Admiral, we're number one!!!"

"we are the champion!"

"Oh oh oh!!!"

"..."

The cheers of the ship girls were exceptionally enthusiastic. As their cheers rang out, intense mental energy fluctuations suddenly emanated from the sky around the Black Tower. Then, one after another, huge black containers fell from the sky and landed on the water in front of them.

The container that appeared this time was much larger and darker than the container that passed through the Black Tower yesterday, and even larger and darker than the container that Xiaobai had obtained before!

After the patrol team's ship girls analyzed the contents, it was determined that the container contained 120,000 units of supplies, and... a rainbow-quality battleship main gun.

Upon realizing that this was the prize awarded to the first group of ship girls to enter the Black Tower, the area around the Black Tower was immediately filled with cheers and exclamations.

120,000 units of supplies!

High-quality battleship main guns!

This reward... is far more explosive than the Black Tower on the first day!

If the massive amount of resources only gave the admirals a sense of participation, then the "ship girl equipment rewards" that appeared this time directly ignited the admirals' passion!

High-quality equipment is quite valuable even within the territory of the naval base in Chapter 8.

Even today, high-tier equipment is something only ace ship girls in high-ranking naval bases are entitled to enjoy.

Each additional piece of rainbow-quality equipment represents a significant boost to the overall strength of a garrison.

Even if we disregard those hundreds of thousands of units of resources and only consider that one piece of rainbow-quality equipment, the admirals in Chapter 8 would have no reason to refuse to challenge the Black Tower.

Therefore, after the first group of ship girls left the Black Tower, all the remaining ship girls rushed towards the Black Tower almost without hesitation.

……

Admiral's Guild.

Xiaobai was browsing the Admiral Forum in her office, looking with great interest at the various posts sent by the Admirals.
