Elder brother's garrison

Page 1855

The elevator door opened.

Xiaobai and her group entered the elevator with the ship girl at the front desk.

The receptionist ship girl took out an employee card and pressed it lightly in the floor input field. The floor display box then showed a "special floor" sign, the elevator doors closed, and the elevator carried Xiaobai and her group up.

The elevator was quiet.

Two ship girls stood nervously at the front, heads down, hands clasped tightly together, looking anxious and fearful.

Deep Sea Akagi quietly stepped forward, approached their backs, and gently blew a breath onto their smooth necks.

"call."

"Alas----"

The two front desk ship girls went limp, cried out in unison, and quickly covered their necks to hold onto the wall.

"Heh heh?" Akagi chuckled softly as she looked at the disheveled state of the ship girl in front of the front desk, her lips twitching slightly.

"Akagi, stop bullying people!" Shiro said helplessly to Akagi.

"I apologize, my lord. I couldn't help but go over and try to ease their tension when I saw how nervous these two sisters were." Akagi smiled apologetically at Shiro, then turned her hands behind her back and asked the ship girls at the front desk with a smile, "How are you feeling now, my two sisters?"

"..." The two front desk ship girls turned around and looked at Abyssal Akagi with complicated expressions.

The ship girl at the front desk could only smile bitterly.

Another thing is that Akagi from the Deep Sea smells so good. Although they were a little helpless after being teased, the fragrance did relieve their tension quite a bit.

"Sorry, ladies." Xiaobai smiled at the ship girl at the front desk.

Akagi playfully stuck out her tongue at the two front desk ship girls, then moved closer to Shiro and took Shiro's arm in a well-behaved manner.

The elevator, which was slowly ascending, came to a stop.

The elevator door opened.

Behind the elevator doors was a magnificent hall exuding the scent of wood. The hall was spacious, decorated with various artificial hills and pools. In the center of the hall was an area covered with a red carpet, where a sofa was placed, adorned with fruits and vegetables. After the receptionist guided Xiaobai and her group to the sofa, the two bowed slightly to them and left.

A short while later, a familiar voice called out to Xiaobai.

"Oh my! Isn't this Little White Sister!"

At the other end of the hall, a large door was pushed open, and Governors Mu Yu and Lin Qin walked out.

Mu Yu had a laptop tucked under his arm. He had a smug grin on his face, showing off his white teeth, and was waving his other arm vigorously at Xiao Bai.

"Hey! Little White Sister! It's been more than half a year since we last met, have you missed me?"

It's been more than half a year since we last met, and I didn't expect Mu Yu to still look like this, leaving Xiao Bai at a loss for what to do.

"..." Xiaobai's gaze shifted to Ringo next to Muyu, and she smiled warmly at her, "Ringo-neechan, it's been a long time."

"Hello? Little White Sister?"

"Mm." Lin Qing, standing next to Mu Yu, looked at Xiao Bai with a gentle expression and pointed to the sofa seat behind Xiao Bai. "Sit down."

"Hello, hello, hello—" Mu Yu called out to Xiao Bai.

"..." Xiaobai sighed and looked at Mu Yu, "...Isn't this Governor Mu Yu?"

"Hahaha! Still as proud and aloof as ever, little Bai!" Mu Yu laughed.

"……"noob.

Xiaobai and the ship girls sat down on the sofa, looking at the two governors who were approaching.

Mu Yu placed the laptop on the coffee table and sat down with Lin Qing directly opposite Xiao Bai.

"Oh my—Little White Sister, how does it feel to be back in Chapter Eight!" Mu Yu slapped her thigh, beaming as she asked Little White, "Oh, by the way, Little White Sister, congratulations on your successful mission! Your mission in Cloud City was highly praised!"

As Mu Yu finished speaking, her gaze involuntarily swept over Xiao Bai's side.

Mu Yu glanced at Deep Sea Akagi, and after quickly scrutinizing him from head to toe, a strange look flashed across his pupils.

"Oh..." Mu Yu smiled thoughtfully at Xiao Bai, "Little Bai hasn't been idle these past six months..."

"This is Akagi," Xiaobai introduced.

"Hmm? The newbie naval base's Akagi shouldn't look like this, right?"

"This is the second one."

"Oh, a ship with the same name, no wonder." Mu Yu nodded knowingly, then smiled. "Built from?"

"Fired up."

"As expected of you."

"Ahem." Xiaobai cleared her throat, then said to Mu Yu, "Have you and Sister Lin Qing been staying here for the past six months?"

“Yes, building the eighth chapter city is no easy task.” Mu Yu sighed upon hearing this. “Hmm… planning the construction of an entire city is much more troublesome than playing house.”

"The city is actually quite well built..."

"Haha, after all, we have the help of the ship girls!" Mu Yu said proudly. "For things like several tons of steel bars and cement, if we hand them over to the ship girls, they can move them upstairs in just a few seconds. And since they are ship girls that we got directly from the government for free, we don't have to pay them any wages. They are so much more convenient than human workers!"

"..." Xiaobai looked around.

"Little White Sister, what are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for a tall street lamp," Xiaobai said earnestly to Muyu. "It would look really nice to hang you up there."

"Hahaha!" Mu Yu slapped her thigh. "Haven't seen you for half a year, Little Bai, your sense of humor has really improved a lot! Even your jokes are so lively and vivid now!"

"..." Xiaobai stared quietly at Muyu.

"...You're kidding, right?" Mu Yu nervously raised her hand to Xiao Bai, "I'll pay them...I really will pay the ship girls..."

“…Oh.” Xiao Bai then looked away, reached into his pocket, pulled out a card, and handed it to Mu Yu.

"Hmm? Little White Sister, what's this?"

"Miss Luming's autograph," Xiaobai said to Muyu. "In the letter you sent to the newbie naval base, didn't you say you wanted Luming's autograph? So I asked her to write one for you before I left."

"Huh? Really?!" Mu Yu's eyes widened in surprise as she looked at the piece of paper, making a move to snatch it. "Little White Sister! Great job! You did a good job!"

Xiao Bai gently raised her hand, dodging Mu Yu's palm.

"Cash on delivery," Xiaobai said to Muyu.

"?"

"I've already brought you the autograph." Xiaobai placed the card on the coffee table, sighed, and said to Mu Yu with a hint of reproach, "You should also tell me what that mysterious special event in Chapter Eight was, right?"

Chapter 2570 The Day of Holy Founding!

Mu Yu stood there, stunned, staring blankly at the card that Xiao Bai had pressed tightly against the coffee table.

"I put aside my work at the naval base and came all the way here." Xiaobai looked directly into Muyu's eyes and said seriously, "If you don't explain this to me properly, I won't just hand this over to you so easily."

Xiao Bai's gaze was crystal clear as she stared intently into Mu Yu's eyes.

"Uh..." Mu Yu reluctantly withdrew his hand, scratched his head, and gave Xiao Bai an awkward smile, "...I never thought I'd be the one being kept in suspense by Xiao Bai."

"..." Xiaobai tapped the business card with her fingertip without comment.

Xiaobai has already made his meaning very clear.

"Sigh—Little Bai is even more impatient than I imagined." Mu Yu simply put down his hand, leaned back on the sofa, and shrugged at Little Bai with a hint of regret. "It's been more than half a year since we last met. I wanted to chat with Little Bai for a while before we got down to business."

"You're not lying to me, are you?" Xiaobai's gaze was starting to turn hostile.

"How could that be!" Mu Yu quickly patted his chest. "I'm the Governor-General of the Pacific, the one who guided you to become an admiral! When have I ever lied to you!"

"...You've lied to me quite a few times about osmanthus."

"Uh."

"And the Deep Sea Assassin that my brother left me, I've also heard the president talk about it."

"Ah this..."

"besides……"

"Cough cough cough cough!" Mu Yu coughed several times, interrupting Xiao Bai's words, and then said to Xiao Bai with a serious face, "Little Bai, although we do have a little bit of personal privacy between us, at least I'm still on your side! Trust me!"

"..." Xiaobai did not refute or respond, but silently raised her elbow, rested her cheek on her hand, and looked to the side.

Mu Yu picked up a tissue and wiped her cheek, giving Xiao Bai and the others an awkward smile.

"Alright, alright, let's get down to business, hahaha!" Mu Yu eased the tense atmosphere, then took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, and said seriously to Xiao Bai, "Little Bai, about the special event in Chapter Eight that I mentioned in my letter... at least on this point, it's true, I really didn't lie to you, you can ask Ringo if you don't believe me."

As Mu Yu spoke, he pointed to Ringo beside him.

Ringo nodded silently to Shiro, indicating that what Mu Yu said was true.

"So, Chapter Eight really is carrying out a special operation?" Xiaobai asked curiously. "But why can't I find anything when I search for this secret operation online?"

"Well, of course it's because of personal reasons." Mu Yu and Ringo exchanged a glance, and then Mu Yu explained to Xiao Bai, "The content of this event is rather special. The more people know about it, the more disadvantageous it is for the participants."

"Oh?" Xiaobai asked curiously.

"Let me think... where should I begin?" Mu Yu rested his chin on his hand, pondering for a moment before asking Xiao Bai, "Hmm... let's start with the concept of chapter cities. Little Bai, do you know how many years ago it was when we humans reclaimed the Seventh Chapter Sea into the main sea area?"

"Three hundred and twenty-seven years ago, I think," Xiaobai replied instantly.

"So fast, you've already pulled up the umbrella?" Mu Yu was shocked.

"I used to be a history teacher at a naval academy," Xiaobai reminded him.

"As expected of Little White Sister..." Mu Yu scratched his head and laughed at Little White. "That's right, very accurate. It's been more than three hundred years since the last sea area reclamation incident."

"How is this related to what we're going to talk about now?"

“There is a connection, and a very strong one.” Mu Yu nodded seriously. He carefully examined Xiao Bai’s face for a while, then spread his hands towards Xiao Bai and said, “Little Bai, you learned about the last time the sea area was reclaimed from the literature, right?”

"Ah."

"Does any literature mention that after a sea area is successfully reclaimed, miraculous changes will occur on that sea area?"

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Xiaobai instinctively sat up straight. "A miraculous change?"

"These things aren't written in the textbooks, right?" Mu Yu gave Xiao Bai a smug smile. "That's right! Because this is a big secret within the admiral circle. Due to the long time that has passed, very few people know this secret now. It's only passed down by word of mouth among the highest-ranking admirals!"

"..." Xiaobai nodded thoughtfully and asked Mu Yu, "...Is it a change similar to the Deep Sea Dean's riot in Chapter Six?"

“No, no, no, little Bai, I feel that you are still being held back by common sense. You can let your imagination run wild a bit more.” Mu Yu said as she opened the laptop on the coffee table and pushed the screen toward Bai. “Little Bai, look.”

Xiao Bai looked in the direction Mu Yu was looking.

The webpage that Mu Yu showed to Xiao Bai was a special webpage that Xiao Bai had never seen before, filled with densely packed search terms.

The laptop's mouse cursor is pointing at a prominent word highlighted in red.

—Saint Jian.

"Holy Construction?" Xiaobai murmured.

The word "Shengjian" sounds familiar. Xiaobai seems to have heard a similar word in his brother's notes, but his brother seems to call it "Shengjian".

However, in the brother's notes, pan-fried buns were simply described as an event that occasionally offered a super bonus to merit points, and there was no further mention of them.

Are pan-fried dumplings and Shengjian (a type of fried dough) the same thing?

“That’s right, it’s Shengjian.” Mu Yu gestured to Xiaobai to click on the entry on the computer. “Little Bai, click in and take a look.”

“…Oh.” Xiaobai rubbed the touchpad of the wooden notebook a couple of times and clicked on a special entry called “Holy Construction Day”.

Enter the entry.

Page refreshed.

What appeared in front of Xiaobai was a text in bold black font.

"Holy Construction Day: Whenever a main storyline sea area is successfully explored by the human faction, a peculiar phenomenon will briefly appear in the corresponding sea and land areas. During the effective period of Holy Construction Day, the training stats of all ship girls deployed to the corresponding sea area will be doubled, and the drop rate of ship girl construction activities within the corresponding chapter will also be significantly increased."

After reading the simple explanation of the entry, Xiaobai couldn't help but blink.

"...Holy Founding Day..." Xiaobai looked up at Muyu and asked, "So, does the special event in Chapter Eight refer to Holy Founding Day?"

“That’s right, Little White Sister.” Mu Yu smiled approvingly and nodded gently to Little White.

"So this is the secret of Chapter Eight..." After listening to Mu Yu's words, Xiao Bai looked thoughtfully at the laptop screen and muttered to herself, "The training level gained from ship girls going on expeditions is doubled, and the success rate of construction is also increased... Hmm... It feels like something rather mystical... Why does the training level gained from ship girls going on expeditions increase? And what's the principle behind the increased construction probability?"

“We don’t know the answer to that question either.” Mu Yu shrugged. “The Holy Sun is such a magical thing. It only appears for a short period of time after the Chapter Sea is successfully explored. All its functions cannot be explained by human science, and its appearance cannot be replicated by any other method.”

"Was Chapter Seven like this three hundred years ago?"
