Elder brother's garrison

"Hmm? You haven't had enough? How about we let Anshan play a couple more rounds with you?"

"Oh no, no, no, forget it then. I figured it out completely after just one exercise." Chicago quickly shook her head, scratching her head and frowning as she said, "I'd only ever seen missile ships in combat before, never experienced it firsthand. This time, I realized just how powerful missiles are... At least for me, a one-on-one fight with a missile ship would be a disaster. The difference in strength between me and Sister Anshan is too great. If we're far enough apart, she could hit me with just a flick of her finger, without even moving her feet."

This post-war analysis is truly shameless, leaving no room for self-respect.

Xiao Bai nodded silently.

However, Chicago wasn't wrong. The battle between Anshan and Chicago was destined to be a 10-0 match from the very beginning.

After all, a cruiser is at best a frigate... while a missile ship is a capital ship.

No matter what, Chicago is still a ship girl from a new naval base. In terms of "eyesight" and "knowledge," she is fundamentally different from ordinary ship girls outside the base. She also has a deep understanding of combat and understands some things very quickly.

An exercise that brought Chicago face-to-face with missile ship girls was enough for Chicago to figure out a lot of things.

"So this is a missile." Xiaobai nodded in satisfaction after listening to Chicago's summary, and asked with a smile, "So, do you finally see the merits of having a missile ship?"

“Admiral… I didn’t say from the beginning that missile-equipped ship systems wouldn’t work…” Chicago looked away awkwardly. “I only said that missile-equipped ship systems might not be suitable for a ship girl like me with poor grades…”

"Whether something is suitable or not depends on whether you're willing to put in the effort, right?" Xiaobai asked with a smile.

“…Hmm.” This time, Chicago didn’t refute it.

"So... are you still willing to accept the modification of the missile ship equipment?" Xiaobai asked.

"...To be honest, I'm still not sure..." Chicago scratched her earlobe, thought for a while, secretly glanced at Anshan, and then said, "But through the battle just now, I understand that missile ship equipment is indeed a super powerful ship equipment. Although I'm not sure if someone of my level can handle it as well as Sister Anshan...it seems worth a try."

Xiao Bai was amused by Chicago's statement.

Changchun is absolutely right.

It seems the way to make Chicago submit is to give her a good beating with the missile ship equipment, so she can experience its power... After being thoroughly beaten by the missile ship equipment, Chicago will naturally become interested in it without even needing any special psychological counseling.

“You’re absolutely right, Changchun.” Xiaobai looked at Changchun and said to her, then looked at Anshan, “Anshan, thank you for your hard work.”

"You're welcome, Admiral." Anshan shrugged. "I had a lot of fun too."

"You only fired a few missiles, what's there to be happy about?"

"You'll understand this when you become a missile ship girl."

"Eh... playing tricks..."

Anshan and Chicago started discussing the matter back and forth.

Xiaobai smiled as she looked at Anshan and Chicago, then waved to Jinan beside her.

Jinan came to Xiaobai's side.

“Jinan and Chicago have already agreed, so let’s use the power of change right here,” Xiaobai said.

"Okay, sure, shall I begin?"

Jinan eagerly pulled out its little hand, looking expectantly at Xiaobai. After Xiaobai nodded, it released a white ball of light towards Chicago, who was chatting with Anshan.

As soon as the white ball of light appeared, it began to fly towards Chicago's body, intentionally or unintentionally.

This time, Chicago did not dodge. After noticing the white light, she frowned, closed her eyes, and let the white light merge into her body.

Soon, Chicago's body began to emit a faint white light, and her eyes also lit up with a pale green light.

"It's in modification mode!"

People around, seeing the changes in Chicago, began to speak up.

"Hmm, it seems this is the last missile ship girl. We can head back to the modification factory first..."

Xiao Bai nodded with a smile.

However, she had barely opened her mouth when she noticed that the remaining white light in the air seemed to be summoned once again, and it drifted towards Anshan.

At first, Xiaobai didn't pay any attention.

On several occasions when Jinan activated the power of change and summoned these white orbs of light that could promote the transformation of ship girls, she saw these orbs of light not only enter the target ship girl's body, but also react to the ship girls around the target ship girl.

For example, in the case of Kiat, most of the white light sphere merged into Kiat's body, while a small portion of it drifted towards the bodies of Kilin, Franknox, and Bauer.

For ship girls like Gearing who have already been modified, the white light orb cannot be fully integrated and will be directly repelled.

Franknox, and ship girls like Bauer who, while not showing missile talent, were not modified, could absorb the white light orb—although they showed no reaction after absorbing it.

So when Xiaobai first saw these white orbs of light flying towards Anshan, she didn't care. She just thought they were dissipating white orbs of light looking for a host.

Just as Xiaobai was about to look away and call the surrounding ship girls back to the modification factory... something surprising happened to Xiaobai.

The moment those white orbs of light entered Anshan's body, Anshan, who was chatting and laughing with everyone, suddenly stopped and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

The next moment, under everyone's watchful eyes, Anshan's body began to emit a faint white light, and her eyes gradually lit up with a blue-purple light.

Everyone stared at Anshan in disbelief, their mouths agape.

Ah? ?

Anshan—has it also entered a period of transformation?

Chapter 3795 The Main Course is Here

Inside the converted factory, Yubari, Pompeii, and Zara sat on a sofa, each pouring themselves a drink—of course, they were drinking tea, not alcohol.

"I see. That explains why you two smelled like barbecue seasoning when you arrived." Yubari crossed his legs, sipped his tea, and said to Pompeii and Zara, "Did you enjoy the barbecue with the Admiral?"

"For ship girls like us with mediocre performances, it's already quite an achievement to find a chance to spend more time with the Admiral outside of the Admiral's consolation day," Pompeii said, holding her teacup and nodding to Yubari. "It's really great, isn't it? After Garibaldi is converted into a missile ship, she'll probably become a favorite of the Admiral, right?"

"That depends on how well it performs after the refit..." Yubari thought for a moment, then smiled at Pompeii and said, "Ah, but don't be discouraged. I remember you and Zara haven't been refitted yet either, right? Maybe after a while, you can be refitted into missile ships like Garibaldi. Then... won't those good days come?"

"Converted into a missile ship... To be honest, I still find it a little hard to imagine myself as a missile ship..."

"Our naval base has Jinan, right? With Jinan here, converting it into a missile ship isn't just a dream, is it?"

"Hmm...that makes sense."

Pompeii listened to Yubari's words and nodded with deep feeling, taking a sip of tea.

Zara sat quietly to the side, sipping her tea. She brought the teacup to her lips, just about to cover them, when she suddenly seemed to realize something and looked up towards the outside of the factory.

“...The admiral is back,” Zara said.

"Um?!"

Hearing Zara's murmurs, Pompeii and Yubari quickly put down their teacups and looked towards the factory gate.

In the three people's eyes, outside the factory gate, the crowd was bustling and lively.

"Frog Fun, so many people!" Yubari exclaimed.

"Good heavens, where did the admiral go before?" Pompeii stared blankly at the crowd outside the modification factory, his eyes widening for a moment. "So many people, could they all be going to have missiles modified?"

The three ship girls stood up and watched as the huge crowd outside the factory approached the factory gate.

Despite the large crowd, they did not rush into the factory all at once. Instead, they stopped outside and, after a few surges, made way for a small path.

On this path, Xiaobai led a group of ship girls into the factory.

"Hey everyone, follow my lead! The factory is only so big, and if so many people go in, there won't be any bumps and scrapes! So only the ship girls selected by the admiral for modification, and the caregivers of the modified ship girls, can come in! Everyone else can only stand outside! Got it?!" Washington's figure separated Little White's group from the other crowd. She waved a long flag, and her highly recognizable and powerful voice immediately drowned out the noise of the crowd.

After Shiro and his group entered the factory, Yubari, Pompeii, and Zara also arrived.

"Admiral, wow... what's going on here...?" Yubari, hands in his pockets, stared at Shiro and his group with a look of astonishment.

"Admiral, where did you go?" Pompey asked, equally curious.

Yubari clicked his tongue in amazement, his gaze lingering on the Gearing-class destroyers, the Alaska-class sisters, and the Garibaldi, Changchun-Jinan, Baltimore, Chicago, and Super Yamato behind Shiro.

To be honest, even Yubari had never seen so many top-tier ship girls enter the modification phase at the same time in her life. The walls inside the factory seemed to be shining brightly from the light emitted by the ship girls in their modification phase.

"Yubari, haha..." Shiro waved to Yubari, then smiled awkwardly. "Ah, Pompeii and Zara are here too... uh... we just went to the training grounds, and then..."

"Wow, they really dare to go."

As Yubari listened to Shiro's words, her expression became quite interesting. At the same time, her expression as she looked at the layers upon layers of ship girls entrenched outside the factory also showed a great deal of understanding.

Ship girls are the most enthusiastic gossip-loving group, especially the newbie ship girls in the naval base, whose lives are so leisurely that they definitely won't let go of anything interesting they find to do or hear about...

With so many modified ship girls leading Xiaobai to the training grounds, it's bound to attract the attention of a lot of ship girls...

Hmm... Even so, the number of people attracted this time was surprisingly large, leaving Yubari quite astonished...

As Yubari was thinking, her gaze slowly swept over the ship girls behind Shiro.

When Yubari saw Alaska, Guam, and Kiat, her expression remained unchanged as she observed the light screens surrounding them. Her gaze then shifted to Garibaldi and Chicago, two ship girls she was meeting for the first time that day. Yubari paused her wandering gaze briefly on them, then silently nodded. Just as she was about to withdraw her attention, she suddenly spotted Anshan in a corner of the crowd, scratching his neck with a strange expression.

"……Um???"

The moment Yubari looked at Anshan, she suddenly showed a look of astonishment.

Because Anshan, who was in a corner of the crowd, was now radiating a faint light, just like the other ship girls waiting to be modified, and her eyes were also faintly shining with a conspicuous blue-purple light.

Eh?

No?

Wait a minute...

Did you read that correctly?

Anshan's current state... how did she manage to change it too?

"Anshan!!!" Yubari pointed to Anshan in surprise and shouted out loud.

“Uh…” When Anshan heard Yubari’s call, she didn’t seem surprised. Instead, she raised her head with a subtle feeling and smiled at Yubari.

"Oh my god!!! Wasn't today's modification project supposed to be finding ship girls to be modified into missile ships within the naval base?! How come we've run into a ship girl who's already a missile ship being modified?!" Yubari's expression was exceptionally radiant. She clasped her hands together, her mouth practically agape, and flew rapidly towards Anshan. "Anshan! If I remember correctly, you're the world's first ship girl to enter modification mode as a missile ship!!! My goodness! This trip back to the naval base has yielded unexpected gains!!! Come, come, let me show you how your body is developing!!!"

Yubari finally understood why so many ship girls had returned with Shiro.

Goodness, it seems all these people were attracted by Anshan!

Yubari darted to Anshan, lifted his arm, and gently poked him under the armpit with a finger.

Anshan let out a cry of surprise and couldn't help but release its ship equipment.

A gleaming missile launcher was released from the rear of Anshan. Yubari immediately picked it up with great affection, stroking the metallic texture on it repeatedly.

"Good, good, good, this is the missile ship equipment in the upgrade phase... So handsome, so beautiful... *slurp*"

"Yubari, calm down, I'm a little scared..."

"Anshan, how exactly did you get into the transformation state?!" Yubari immediately looked up and asked Anshan excitedly.

"Uh... well... actually, I was surprised too..." Anshan's expression was quite complicated when she was asked this question. She looked up at Xiaobai not far away.

Yubari followed Anshan's gaze and looked at Shiro.

On the other side, Shiro was scratching her head and smiling at Yubari.

"Actually, Anshan was influenced by the transformative power of Jinan and entered a state of transformation..."

"Hey! Why!"

"Well... actually, we were quite puzzled at first too..." Xiaobai looked at Jinan, who was grinning at him, and then explained to Yubari, "Well... Jinan and I had been looking for ship girls that could be converted into missile ships... According to her logic, the basis for her search and judgment of whether a ship girl could be converted into a missile ship girl seemed to be observing the faint aura of missile ship girls released by those ship girls... At first, neither Jinan nor we thought there was anything wrong with this, until just now, when Jinan released the power of change to enlighten Chicago, Anshan accidentally got a little bit of the power of change as well... and then..."

"Uh...so...Anshan is actually also Jinan's target?" Yubari looked at Anshan.

“Yes, I never expected that missile ship girls could continue to be modified…” Xiaobai said to Yubari as if he had just witnessed it. “Jinan and I were both shocked… Before, we were so focused on finding ways to modify ordinary ship girls into missile ship girls that we never thought that people like Anshan, who were born to be missile ship girls, were the most suitable candidates for modification.”

"I don't think this is my fault." Jinan said to Xiaobai and Yubari with her arms crossed, "Anshan-nee is a missile ship girl, so she naturally has a strong missile aura. How could I possibly tell?"

"So, even if you can't distinguish clearly, your ability can still correctly affect the target, right?" Xiaobai looked at Jinan.

"The power of change, isn't it amazing?" Jinan grinned at Xiaobai.

Yubari watched Xiaobai and Jinan's conversation from the side. She pinched her chin and kept lingering her gaze on Anshan.

"Oh, oh, oh, is that so? This is a major discovery..."

Yubari eagerly reached out and pulled Anshan up, then walked towards the factory with a smile on his face.

"Anshan! Come on in!! Hurry up, now you're going to be the main course in our ship modification factory! Let me see where your ship equipment can still be improved!"

"Eh... wait, I haven't..." Anshan was about to speak when Yubari pulled her, causing her to stumble. She could only follow Yubari towards the small, dark room in the factory. "I just came to visit, wait... I, I... haven't..."

Chapter 3796 Little White's Trump Card

Although Anshan repeatedly stated that his entry into the transformation state was just an accident, what reason did Yubari have not to accept the duck that was delivered to his mouth?

Anshan is the world's first missile ship girl to undergo refitting!

Her existence is of extraordinary significance!
