Time passes minute by minute.
Finally, with only about a minute left before the event ends, the merit leaderboard will be refreshed for the last time.
With a series of footsteps, many staff members came down from the second floor of the Admiral's Guild.
Then, a group of staff members from the Admirals' Guild carried tables and chairs downstairs. They cleared a space in the lobby of the Admirals' Guild and set up a proper award stage under the watchful eyes of the Admirals.
Then, from the second floor, a group of robust old governors with long white beards came down, each carrying a thermos and a folder tucked under their arm, and took their seats on the podium in turn.
After all, this was the closing ceremony of an important large-scale event, so these governors still had to go through the formalities of cutting the ribbon, presenting awards, and giving out little red flowers as a form of praise.
After the former governors took their seats, Governor Mu Yu, with a bright and sunny smile on his face, walked down from the second floor with Governor Lin Qing and came to the podium.
Upon seeing Governor-General Mu Yu and Governor-General Lin Qin, all the admirals present were immediately invigorated.
Mu Yu was the youngest in seniority among all the governors, but held the highest official rank. Therefore, he was often chosen to announce news when the governor was present. When Mu Yu came out, it meant that the event was truly coming to an end.
The admirals were slightly agitated for a moment, then lowered their heads and subconsciously glanced at the leaderboard.
The top-ranked naval district remains the tenth-ranked naval district.
The name of the newbie naval base did not appear on the entire list.
The admirals gripped their phones tightly. Although they hadn't seen the newbie naval base, it didn't diminish their belief in its combat capabilities.
"How will the newbie naval base manage to climb back to number one?"
"Did they move a mountain of deep-sea metal here? Haha..."
Even though there were only a few minutes left before the deadline for the list released by the Admirals' Guild, the Admirals were still joking with each other in a rather humorous way.
The entire hall was filled with an unexpectedly unified chorus of voices saying, "The newbie garrison is awesome!"
on the podium.
Mu Yu smiled as he looked at the admirals below the stage.
It seems as if everything is well planned.
Ringo turned her head and looked at Mu Yu's hands, which were hiding under the podium.
Mu Yu held her phone, furiously typing a text message to Xiao Bai on the other end. The messages were filled with various obsequious phrases like, "Xiao Bai, are you here yet?", "Xiao Bai, the event is about to start settling accounts," "Xiao Bai?", "Xiao Bai, come quick!", "Xiao Bai, don't scare me, the event is really about to end QAQ," "Oh dear, please come quickly...", "It's about to settle accounts, Xiao Bai, ahhhhhh!", "It's going to fail, Xiao Bai! It's really going to fail!!"
As the admirals below the stage discussed various things, such as "I think the newbie naval base is about to fall from the sky at any moment" and "I think the newbie naval base has actually secretly handed over its merits and is just waiting for a decisive counterattack."
Mu Yu's fingers, which were controlling the phone, began to tremble.
"...Still no news?" Ringo asked.
"..." Mu Yu on the stage maintained a calm and composed smile. He turned his head to look at Lin Qing beside him, pausing between pauses.
Mu Yu's nose was covered in a fine layer of sweat from anxiety.

at the same time.
In the courtyard where the newbie garrison is located.
Xiao Bai's bedroom was quiet and peaceful.
Sunlight streamed through the window and fell onto the bed.
The sound of Saladal shifting came from the bed.
Two long, slender, fair legs hooked around another person's slender waist, slightly curled up.
Two white figures, one large and one small, embraced each other in an odd yet perfectly harmonious manner within layers of thick, soft blankets.
The air was filled with a sweet fragrance, amidst the faint sounds of breathing.
last night.
After transferring all the abundant spiritual energy within his body into the sleeping Yamato Fukami through a kiss.
Little Bai was sleeping so soundly.
I'm sorry, I had some urgent matters at home today, so I didn't have time to write. There will only be one chapter of 4500 words. I apologize.
Chapter 1215 Sleeping with the First
Xiao Bai hadn't had such a satisfying sleep in a long time.
Because of his excessive mental energy, Xiaobai used to suffer from insomnia. He would often lie in bed for a very long time, counting sheep until the end of time, before he could grasp that subtle sleepiness that might not even pass by in a few hours, as if playing hide-and-seek in the dark.
In the past, if a newbie wanted to get a good night's sleep, they had to find a way to consume their mental energy. For example, they could have the deep-sea will in their mental world tear apart a few Taihou, create some wonders in the mental energy grassland, or find a few ship girls with low training levels to level up before going to sleep.
Even so, the positive effect on Xiaobai's sleep is only that it slightly improves Xiaobai's sleep quality, which is far below that of the average person.
Ultimately, whether it's tearing apart a few Taihou or improving a ship girl's equipment level, the mental energy required for a newbie like him is still too little, far from enough to allow him to rest peacefully.
To be honest, recently Xiaobai has also given up on the idea of going to sleep like a normal person.
--but.
Surprises often come unexpectedly when you're not prepared.
Since the time that happened between Xiaobai and Shenhai Yamato some time ago, Xiaobai was reminded by Duan Shuiliu that she unexpectedly discovered that her favorite Yamato sister was actually a mental energy absorption device with an extremely high limit and a huge capacity.
As a senior abyssal dean who has lived through modern human history, the Deep Sea Yamato has undergone five hundred years of evolution. In addition, as the embodiment of the most powerful single warship in history, its abyssal hull equipment has long since developed intelligence and wisdom. The evolutionary potential it contains is unparalleled and cannot be compared with that of an ordinary abyssal dean.
Xiaobai can freely channel his spiritual energy into Abyssal Yamato's body, using a massive amount of spiritual energy to nourish and feed Abyssal Yamato's ship equipment, without worrying about Abyssal Yamato overeating or suffering from indigestion.
last night.
While Yamato was sleeping, Shiro transmitted his spiritual energy into Yamato's body wave after wave through kisses. Only after Shiro felt a strong drowsiness did he contentedly snuggle into Yamato's embrace and fall into a deep sleep, holding Yamato's cool and soft body.
For beginners.
The fact that one's own Yamato sister can consume tons of mental energy is a landmark discovery. This means that the little white planet people no longer have to endure the insomnia and other troubles caused by excessive mental energy. They can then rely on the ritualistic act of kissing each night to officially return to a normal human routine.
—Although Shiro didn't actually give the wedding ring to Yamato Fukami because of this incident.
But at least this kind of development is really great.
Shiro nestled in Yamato's arms and had a very long, beautiful dream.
Finally, after truly and completely sleeping until she naturally woke up, Xiaobai's beautiful dream ended vaguely with a sense of resurrection and satisfaction.
In the brightly lit room bathed in brilliant sunlight, Shiro, nestled in Yamato's arms, took a deep breath and opened her eyes.
As soon as Xiaobai opened her eyes, she felt the cool and soft touch of Shenhai Yamato's body behind her. She turned her head slightly, still a little dazed, and glanced at Shenhai Yamato behind her.
Even though Yamato had been in bed for almost a whole day without eating or drinking, he was still sleeping soundly and peacefully.
As she slept, Yamato was hugging Shiro tightly with both arms and legs, just like a life-sized body pillow. Shiro could feel the direct skin-to-skin contact between herself and Yamato through the two layers of pajamas that were only covered by two layers of clothing.
Nestled in the embrace of the deep sea Yamato, Shiro stretched out a big yawn after calming down for a while.
"Mmm...that was a really good sleep..."
After stretching, Shiro gently removed Yamato's arm from her body, and then carefully pulled her own body out from between Yamato's legs.
Although Xiaobai certainly wouldn't mind lying in bed with Shenhai Yamato for a while longer, she still had things to do today and had to go to work.
After covering the bed with the blanket for Yamato, Xiaobai changed her clothes, took out her phone from her clothes, and glanced at the screen.
On Xiaobai's phone screen, it was displayed in large letters: "47 missed calls, 151 text messages received".
Xiao Bai stared blankly at her phone, then subconsciously tapped on the message notification.
In the message notifications, Xiaobai's phone had 47 missed calls, all from Mu Yu, as well as more than 150 text messages, all of which started with Mu Yu's distinctive "Little Bai sister..."
—Well, speaking of this, although Xiaobai eventually removed Muyu from the phone's blacklist, she actually set a special silent ringtone for Muyu.
—Yes, this is already a great favor to the traitor.
After all, even a novice has a compassionate heart.
Looking at the more than 150 text messages he had received, all starting with extremely cheesy "Little Bai Sister," Xiao Bai randomly selected one and opened it, puzzled.
"Little White Sister, you're going to be late! You're going to be late!"
"Little White Sister, why aren't you here yet!"
"Little White Sister, we're going to crash! We're going to crash!"
……
The text message was filled with Mu Yu's hurried tone.
"Huh?" Xiaobai stared blankly at the text message. "Isn't the final settlement of the merit rankings not until noon today? It's still early..."
Xiao Bai glanced at the time on her phone without thinking.
At the top of Xiaobai's phone screen, the current time is 3:40 PM.
Xiao Bai silently glanced at Mu Yu's text message time again.
Mu Yu sent this text message five hours ago.
"……"noob.
Xiaobai put down her phone.
Xiao Bai looked up at the sky outside the window.
The sun in the sky was bright and clear, having already passed overhead and was slowly approaching the other side of the sea.
“…Wah…Wah…Wah…” Little White opened its mouth.
"...Oh no, oh no... This is terrible!!!"
Xiaobai's phone fell to the ground with a thud. She trembled as she cupped her face in her hands, looking at the sun in the sky, appearing utterly terrified.
Xiao Bai finally realized that he had overslept.
Furthermore, Xiaobai discovered that he had stood up all the governors.
Finally, Xiaobai remembered that he hadn't even earned any merit points!
Ruined!
Because I had so much to do yesterday—lost and found in the morning, and the ship girls having a barbecue in the afternoon, plus the birth of Iowa and other things—I couldn't bring myself to ask the ship girls to move the Deepsea Metal to the Admiral's Guild!
I haven't earned any merit points yet!
The event is over!
First place!
The first place is gone!!!
Little White was bewildered in the wind.
Sleeping with Deep Sea Yamato felt so comfortable that Shiro, who had never overslept since becoming an admiral, also started oversleep like an ordinary person because she transferred a large amount of her spiritual energy into Deep Sea Yamato's body!
The phrase "sleep until you naturally wake up" probably means "oversleep" for ordinary people like Xiaobai who often stay up late!
This is really bad. The naval base that my brother has been running for ten years is about to go down on my shoulders!
Eh...Eh?
Why isn't anyone waking me up...?
Xiao Bai was truly terrified. She crouched down shakily, picked up her phone from the ground, and with a conflicted feeling of resistance yet having no choice but to accept reality, opened the Admiral app and gritted her teeth to access the Admiral Guild's merit ranking.
Regardless, we still have to accept reality.
Although Xiaobai is already thinking about whether there is a way to travel back to this morning, in order to confirm the current situation more clearly, Xiaobai still needs to check his naval base ranking.
Even if you don't get first place, at least knowing your ranking allows you to take some appropriate actions...
"Warmest congratulations to the newbie naval base for returning to the top of the leaderboard."
Before the page for the Admiral's Merit Ranking even loaded, a super banner ad, highlighted in bold red, took up most of the phone screen, shining brightly on it.
“…Huh?” Xiaobai, who was holding the phone, was taken aback. She took the phone closer and looked at the screen carefully several more times.
On Xiaobai's phone screen, the words "Newbie Town Guardian Returns to the Top" were indeed displayed.
Xiao Bai closed the banner ad and glanced at the merit leaderboard.
"Second place: Amiya, from the Donkey Garrison, with 2665600 merit points."
"Third place, the Garrison Commander's Base, where humanity has its limits, Merit Points: 2601000"
