Elder brother's garrison

"Well, after all, Sister Duan, your status is different... You see, it's normal for good friends to help each other out occasionally, and I wouldn't mind... But..."

Xiao Bai muttered to himself, looking somewhat embarrassed and troubled, as if he had some unspeakable secret.

Duan Shuiliu stared blankly at Xiaobai. After Xiaobai finished speaking, she suddenly became lost in thought, her eyes gradually vacant, and the color in her entire body rapidly faded.

Before long, Duan Shuiliu's work gradually degenerated into black and white line drawings.

"Not...friends..."

"Not...friends..."

Duan Shuiliu murmured softly.

The water flow began to waver.

Duan Shuiliu suffered a fatal blow.

The HP of the water flow is decreasing rapidly.

Xiao Bai even saw what seemed to be some strange spirits floating out of Duan Shuiliu's mouth and ascending.

"Ah, no, no, she's a friend! She's a friend!" Upon seeing this, Xiaobai quickly reached out and pressed Duan Shuiliu's soul back into her mouth. "My statement was incorrect. Just now, I didn't say that Sister Duan wasn't my friend!"

Xiao Bai pried open Duan Shuiliu's mouth and stuffed his soul inside.

Duan Shuiliu gradually regained consciousness.

Duan Shuiliu's eyes gradually regained their senses.

Duan Shuiliu's line drawings gradually stabilized.

The water flow began to be colored.

Duan Shuiliu looked at Xiaobai with some confusion.

Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Duan Shuiliu: "Well, it's like this, Sister Duan, if, and I mean if, before the final rankings of this event are refreshed, Sister Duan's naval base can surpass the newbie naval base, then Sister Duan, would you choose to do your best to improve your ranking, or would you not do your best and let the newbie naval base win?"

"..." Duan Shuiliu was somewhat embarrassed.

"Sister Duan, please don't mind, just tell the truth."

“…I will do my best,” Duan Shuiliu replied.

The reason why Xiaobai didn't go on the expedition today is because Duan Shuiliu took Xiaobai to the military police station before Xiaobai left home.

Out of a sense of basic responsibility, Duan Shuiliu decided to share half of his merits with Xiaobai.

Therefore, starting tomorrow, Duan Shuiliu will no longer provide Xiaobai with any assistance in terms of activities.

Oh, of course.

Duan Shuiliu didn't dislike Xiaobai.

If someone asks whether Duan Shuiliu hopes that Xiaobai will get first place, the answer is definitely yes. It's estimated that there are few admirals in the world who would like a newbie naval base to win more than Duan Shuiliu.

After all, Duan Shuiliu knew clearly.

Rankings are such a thing.

For a newbie naval base, it has significance far beyond practical benefits.

For new naval commanders, the event rankings are not just a matter of ranking, but an obligation.

It is a task that a new naval commander must complete while enjoying a superior status.

In this world, attention is always focused on the most dazzling person.

Duan Shuiliu held onto tenth place for so many years but still didn't become very famous, while Mengxin Zhenshoufu held onto first place for ten years and its name resounded throughout the country.

Even now, the strength of the newbie naval base has long been a symbol of "power" and "strength" that can inspire admirals all over the world to grow and move forward.

That's status.

This is precisely why the newbie naval base has become the ultimate goal and an undefeated legend in the hearts of all admirals, thus possessing a variety of convenient privileges.

The status of the newbie naval base is deeply ingrained in people's minds; it's practically synonymous with the phrase "world's best."

Although there are sayings like "the nail that sticks out gets hammered down" and "the tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind," those who stand out often attract the envy of others. However, everything has its limits. Ordinary people may be jealous of an acquaintance who is too arrogant, but they have never been jealous of the sun and the moon being high above them.

Because the gap is too big.

They don't even know how to pursue someone.

The reason why the newbie naval base is so far removed from ordinary admirals is that even now, no admiral can harbor any ill intentions towards it, no matter how recklessly it acts.

Even the naval base for newbies hasn't appeared in public for many years.

Even the admiral has been replaced by a young girl.

This impression, etched in the hearts of the admirals, cannot be erased in a short time.

status.

This is the most fundamental difference between the newbie naval base and other naval bases.

This status is certainly prestigious, but it is also extremely fragile.

Xiaobai's brother spent ten years using absolute advantages and overwhelming power to simply and violently persuade everyone, finally establishing the current image of the rookie naval base in the world.

Xiao Bai had heard others say several times that the ship girls in the newbie naval base were all incredibly strong, with sharp eyes that could overturn mountains and seas, splitting the path of life and death with a single punch, and each possessing three heads and six arms and displaying unique abilities. At first, this view amused Xiao Bai for a long time, but later he realized that it was basically a demonized view of the newbie naval base's power from the outside world.

If a newbie naval base participates in any event and fails to get first place even once.

The status of that rookie garrison will collapse in an instant.

At that time, the newbie naval base will no longer be a newbie naval base.

It was nothing more than a crumbling, shattered altar.

Brother Xiaobai's ten years of hard work will also go down the drain.

That's why Duan Shuiliu naturally didn't want this to happen.

However, even though Duan Shuiliu really hoped that the newbie garrison would continue to win the championship.

When it comes to ranking in the event, Duan Shuiliu will never hold back.

This is not because Duan Shuiliu is dissatisfied with Xiaobai becoming the admiral, nor is it because she doubts the strength of the rookie naval base.

On the contrary, this is precisely the manifestation of having the most faith in the strength of a newbie naval base.

Duan Shuiliu firmly believes that even if he tries his best, he will not be able to shake the new position of the rookie garrison.

Only after personally experiencing it, giving it your all, and still failing, can a novice naval base truly be considered a novice naval base.

If there were truly such a possibility, the rookie naval base would be so weak that it would need to beg Duan Shuiliu to show mercy in order to remain in the world's number one position.

Even if that rookie naval base doesn't collapse under the world's gaze, it will collapse in Duan Shuiliu's heart.

That kind of novice naval base is no longer the novice naval base that Duan Shuiliu knows.

It was just an ordinary, mundane, uninteresting, hopeless garrison with only a little power.

—Duan Shuiliu didn't want it to be like this.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Xiaobai was not surprised at all by Duan Shuiliu's answer.

After hearing Duan Shuiliu say that he would do his best without much thought, Xiaobai gave Duan Shuiliu an approving smile.

"Well, since Sister Duan is so eager to compete with me, then we're going to be rivals this time. If you take away my merits from the start, wouldn't that be the same as you going easy on me?"

"...But...it was me who..."

"Or do you think I'll lose, Sister Duan? I'm number one in the world, you know," Xiaobai said with a sweet smile.

"..." Duan Shuiliu fell silent.

"If I accept Sister Duan's merit, then I'll have lost." Xiao Bai said to Duan Shuiliu, and then reached out and grabbed Duan Shuiliu's wrist.

"What I meant earlier was, Sister Duan, you're one of the kindest sisters I've ever met," Xiaobai said, moving closer to Duan Shuiliu, who was somewhat lost in thought. "So, Sister Duan is also my good friend! A really good friend!"

"..."

"Sister Duan, just keep trying your best, I'm sure I'll win!" Xiao Bai said.

Duan Shuiliu, who was standing in front of Xiaobai, gradually raised his head.

Xiaobai's words were like a shot of adrenaline.

It struck Duan Shuiliu's somewhat dejected heart like a hammer blow.

Duan Shuiliu stared blankly at Xiaobai.

Slowly, he turned his hand over and grasped Xiaobai's palm.

"kindness.

Subsequently.

Duan Shuiliu's painting style has become more stable.

The stream gradually regained its vitality.

The flow of water was rendered.

The lines of the flowing water are fuller.

The color of the flowing water is even more vibrant.

Duan Shuiliu has special effects.

The water flow has evolved into a GIF.

The water flow was amplified.

Duan Shuiliu's morale soared.

"Yeah. I believe you."

Duan Shuiliu nodded solemnly, staring directly at Xiaobai, her bright eyes suddenly igniting with a surging, burning fighting spirit.

"I will go all out, ten times, a hundred times more, even if it costs me my last bit of strength, I will do whatever it takes to chase after you... Please show me your back."

"...Ah, is it really necessary to go all out like this...? Let's just slow down a bit..." Xiaobai smiled awkwardly.

Although it seemed to inexplicably motivate Duan Shuiliu even more, making things even more difficult for him...

Well, overall this kind of development is still a good thing.

Xiao Bai looked out the window at the gradually darkening sky and thought to himself.

"but.

"Huh? What's wrong, Sister Duan?"

"I understand, I won't help you. But what about your daily minimum task for today?"

"……

"……

"……ah.

"……

"...Sister Duan..."

"Um?

"Um, could you... lend me some Deep Sea Dean Metal...?"

"……

Chapter 1108 Admiral, Don't Stop!

When Xiaobai left the military police station, the hour hand on the clock was already slowly moving toward five or six in the afternoon.

The door to the building housing the military police was pushed open amidst the cheerful and relaxed laughter of the ship girls.

The ship girls from the newbie naval base crowded out of the door all at once.

"Come again next time!"

"Bye-Bye--"

Amidst the cheers of the military police ship girls, Shiro waved goodbye to Missouri and the other ship girls.
