Elder brother's garrison

Just as Rome got close to Xiaobai and reached out to grab her, Xiaobai instinctively covered her head and crouched down to defend herself. The deep-sea will within her body didn't even ask a question; it immediately rushed out and helped Xiaobai knock away Rome, who was getting close to her.

Xiao Bai felt that having the Deep Sea Will act as his substitute in the exercise with Rome was, in a sense, cheating.

However, the situation was too sudden. Xiao Bai never expected that Rome would jump out of the water beneath her feet. Moreover, Xiao Bai did not expect that the Deep Sea Will would be so concerned about her body. As soon as Rome got close, the Deep Sea Will acted like a firewall, instantly popping out of the mental world. Before Xiao Bai could get the Deep Sea Will back into the mental world, the Deep Sea Will snapped her fingers and killed Rome instantly.

Xiao Bai looked at Rome lying on the cement ground and sighed softly.

However, for the sake of the secret of the Deep Sea Will, Xiaobai couldn't tell that she had just hired a game booster.

We have no choice but to accept it.

In his heart, Xiaobai silently apologized three times to Rome, who was lying on the ground.

“Roma is really amazing…” Xiaobai said to Veneto.

"Thank you for your praise, Admiral. I will convey your words to her after I regain consciousness in Rome." Veneto smiled at Little White.

"As expected of a ship girl who has been trained by you for so long, Veneto..." Xiaobai sighed softly.

After all, Xiaobai is neither a real ship girl nor a real deep-sea amphibious ship.

Xiaobai knew very well that although she possessed very powerful ship equipment, her combat experience as a ship girl and her ship equipment proficiency were far inferior to those of novice naval ...

In the past, when using ship equipment, novices relied on the absolute advantage brought by the powerful basic attributes to forcibly erase the technical gap with the enemy. As a result, novices who were used to crushing novices would always produce many flaws in the operation of ship equipment and the impromptu response in battle.

This time, Xiaobai encountered his first major mishap in his life.

She was forced into an awkward situation by Rome, a rookie ship girl who had only been out of the construction facility for less than six months, and needed the Deep Sea Will to save the day.

Xiaobai finally discovered it.

Relying solely on oneself, one still has a long way to go before truly becoming invincible.

"Admiral!" Yubari's voice rang out.

Yubari strode over from the testing equipment to Shiro's side, clutching a notebook. She slapped Shiro on the shoulder with a "smack," her eyes sparkling with excitement as she shouted to Shiro.

"Admiral, you're amazing!! We all thought your true form was your biggest weakness, but it turns out it's actually your strongest point! Rome and your ship equipment were fighting for so long and were still full of energy, but she was lured to your true form and instantly killed! You're really something, Admiral! We never knew you were a tactical master!" Yubari excitedly circled around Shiro, touching him as she went. "Admiral, Admiral, what was that move you used to instantly kill Rome with a flick of your finger? It was so cool! Do you have a tutorial? Can you share it with others? I want one too!"

"Ah... this..." Shiro awkwardly raised his hand, looking embarrassed at Yubari who was circling around him.

The Magic Flick and Magic Snap, as well as the giant seawater tentacles, are all the same; those are skills that only the Will of the Deep Sea can unleash, and Xiaobai really doesn't know them.

Fortunately, Yubari is not a clingy ship girl.

After noticing Shiro's struggle with the tutorial on the Magic Finger Flick, Yubari reluctantly gave up on the idea of ​​Shiro teaching her the move.

"Ah, speaking of which... data on my ship's equipment performance and combat capabilities... Yubari, have you finished testing them?" Shiro asked Yubari in an attempt to change the subject as soon as possible.

"Although it still feels a bit hesitant... well... anyway, we've got a lot of information." Yubari nodded and handed her notebook to Shiro. "Here, Admiral, take a look."

Shiro looked down at the notebook that Yubari had handed him.

Yubari's notebook contained a very neat and concise record of Shiro's various strange data. Apart from two big question marks on the main gun firepower and armor defense, Shiro's combat mobility, attack delay, main gun rotation speed, main gun cooldown, and hit rate were all preliminarily recorded.

"Eh... so my main gun's cooldown is actually this long..."

Shiro looked at the data Yubari handed him and couldn't help but sigh.

So far, Shiro has never had a data-driven understanding of himself. Now that Yubari has helped him calculate his combat power, it has indeed given Shiro an opportunity to have a more comprehensive understanding of himself.

"How was it? I'm quite confident about the test data. Admiral, would you like me to copy your data as well?" Yubari asked.

"Hmm? No need, I've already written it down." Xiaobai shook her head.

“…To have a photographic memory is truly audacious, Admiral.” Yubari sighed enviously, glancing helplessly at her notebook. “But Admiral, I still have a few questions.”

"Hmm? What's the problem?"

"Admiral, your ship's equipment isn't just limited to main guns, is it? I see that your ship's equipment also has a very long runway and a hangar that looks like it has a huge capacity, so it should also have carrier-based aircraft that can be launched, right?" Yubari asked.

"Ah... carrier-based aircraft, that's certainly possible..."

"Why didn't you use it during the battle just now, Admiral?" Yubari asked, puzzled.

"..." Xiaobai turned her head to the side, looking embarrassed. "Because... I... don't know how."

"……what?"

"...I don't know how to use carrier-based aircraft..."

"..." Yubari.

The reason was so convincing that Yubari was stunned for a moment, unsure of what to say.

Xiaobai's land-based ship equipment does indeed carry carrier-based aircraft.

However, Xiaobai had tried to fly carrier-based aircraft back when the technology was discontinued. Carrier-based aircraft are just too hardcore to operate. The single carrier-based aircraft controlled by Xiaobai could not even fly out of a few meters high grove of trees before crashing back to the ground, let alone bombing in groups.

Don't be fooled by the fact that launching carrier-based aircraft from the naval base looks as simple as eating and drinking. In reality, the technical skill required to operate carrier-based aircraft far exceeds that of simply wielding a laser-equipped ship-mounted main gun and randomly pulling the trigger.

From the moment when the first attempt to launch carrier-based aircraft was made, Xiaobai gave up on using carrier-based aircraft again, and the land-based carrier-based aircraft have always been used by Shenhai Zhiyi.

Chapter 1248 I touched it!

Among the ship girls' attack methods, the preemptive bombing by carrier-based aircraft has the longest attack range, the highest priority attack rounds, and the widest attack range. Furthermore, depending on the type of carrier-based aircraft carried by the ship girl, it can also have the most powerful destructive force.

Therefore, preemptive bombing by carrier-based aircraft is always the most powerful attack method for ship girls.

Xiaobai naturally understands this principle.

but.

dish.

What other options are there?

Xiaobai simply lacks aptitude in this area; her ability to control carrier-based aircraft is utterly appalling.

Therefore, Xiaobai chose the simple and brutal method of shelling.

Perhaps it is precisely because of Xiaobai's passion for artillery capabilities that Xiaobai's land-based ship equipment has been responding to Xiaobai's expectations in an evolving manner.

—Look, after consuming so much Deep Sea Dean Metal, Xiaobai's land-based ship-mounted aircraft haven't changed at all, but its artillery capabilities have been greatly enhanced, breaking through the upper limit and becoming a rainbow laser cannon.

"Admiral, you... can't even launch carrier-based aircraft..."

Yubari stood in front of Shiro for a long time, stammering, before finally uttering those words with a helpless expression.

"No way..." Xiaobai nodded awkwardly.

“…That makes sense. After all, the Admiral’s ship equipment was acquired later… Perhaps you’re still a ways off from being proficient at operating carrier-based aircraft…” Yubari sighed deeply. “By the way, Admiral, could you take out a carrier-based aircraft for me to see?”

"Oh, that's fine." Xiaobai nodded.

In front of everyone, Xiaobai released its land-based ship equipment.

The pale blue crystal fortress, engulfed in raging blue flames, crashed down behind Xiaobai with a loud bang. Xiaobai turned around, reached out to the crystal beast head on the ship's equipment, and the crystal beast head slowly opened its mouth. A bright blue carrier-based aircraft slowly floated out of the crystal beast head's mouth and landed on Xiaobai's palm.

"Here, Yubari is for you." Shiro retrieved his ship equipment, shook his carrier-based aircraft which was burning with blue flames to extinguish the blue flames, and then handed it to Yubari, who had been preparing for a long time.

Yubari quickly reached out his hands and took Shiro's carrier-based aircraft.

Xiaobai's carrier-based aircraft was entirely blue, shaped somewhat like a paper airplane, and shimmered in Yubari's palm.

"Huh... Admiral, even though you haven't used your carrier-based aircraft, they're in very good condition." Yubari looked at the carrier-based aircraft in her palm with surprise.

"Uh... yeah." Xiaobai nodded.

It's a little embarrassing to say, but even though Xiaobai doesn't use carrier-based aircraft, it doesn't mean that no one uses Xiaobai's carrier-based aircraft. Deep Sea Will likes to use Xiaobai's carrier-based aircraft.

In front of Shiro, Yubari picked up Shiro's carrier-based aircraft and examined it from every angle.

"This type of carrier-based aircraft, in terms of design and artistic style, is indeed exactly the same as the Abyssal carrier-based aircraft. It hasn't undergone a qualitative change like the Admiral's main gun." Yubari pinched the carrier-based aircraft. "Is this a carrier-based aircraft that the Admiral's shipboard equipment itself produced?"

"Ah."

"Hmm... Admiral, have you ever tried operating a B-25?" Yubari asked while fiddling with Shiro's carrier-based aircraft.

"Huh? This..." Xiaobai frowned, then suddenly pondered, "...because I've never used carrier-based aircraft before, so I didn't think of this..."

“That makes sense, after all, the Admiral has already given up on carrier-based aircraft…” Yubari didn’t catch the deeper meaning in Shiro’s words. She chuckled awkwardly twice and handed Shiro back the carrier-based aircraft. “Here, Admiral, your original carrier-based aircraft is pretty strong, probably similar to the BTD-Destroyer? But it’s still far inferior to the B25—anyway, it doesn’t matter to the Admiral… It’s a real pity. The air superiority capabilities of the land-based Abyssal Fleet are also terrifying. If the Admiral could use the air superiority capabilities skillfully, Rome would definitely not have had any chance to get close to you just now.”

Yubari sighed and said with some regret.

"Oh, oh, oh..." Xiaobai took over his carrier-based aircraft, looked down at the aircraft in his hand, and pondered.

Yubari makes a lot of sense.

I might really have to go back to Lexington and see if my ship's equipment can be fitted with the B25.

Although I have absolutely no experience using carrier-based aircraft, at least when the Deep Sea Will training mode is available, my carrier-based aircraft can still be used normally.

Xiao Bai put away his carrier-based aircraft.

"Anyway, Yubari, now that my ship equipment data and testing are complete... I'll go back to Lexington and see her," Shiro said to Yubari.

"Okay, sure!" Yubari gave Shiro a quick "okay" sign. "I'm about to start testing Iowa's ship equipment as well."

Shiro looked at Iowa and Missouri behind Yubari.

It was only then that Xiaobai suddenly realized that Iowa's gaze seemed a little strange, as if it was more... affectionate than before?

"Um... well, Missouri, I've been here for a long time... I need to go back to Lexington to see her." Little White said apologetically to Missouri. "Missouri, what about you..."

"Admiral, you can go without worry. Iowa is with Missouri. After Iowa finishes her test, Missouri will bring her to you, Admiral." Missouri said to Xiaobai, "As well as the other ship girl seniors who have practiced with you, Admiral, you can also entrust them to Missouri for placement. Missouri will also pass on the news to you, Admiral, afterward."

"Ah, thank you, Missouri, I appreciate your help."

“That’s not true.” Missouri chuckled.

Xiaobai waved to Missouri, said goodbye to the ship girls present, and then headed towards the admiral's office building.

As the ship girls watched, Xiaobai disappeared on the other side of the horizon.

Veneto lowered his hand, let out a soft sigh of relief, and glanced down at Rome lying on the ground.

“Speaking of which, Veneto, your Roma is probably one of the top-tier battleships in the naval base now, right?” Yubari said to Veneto. “Even if the admiral’s handling is terrible, being able to get close to the admiral while enduring that kind of fierce bombardment is something that can be counted on two hands in the entire naval base, right?”

"Roma just happened to have a fighting style that countered the Admiral's, plus she was lucky. To say she's ranked among the top tier of the naval base... she's still far from it." Veneto knelt down on the ground, picked up the dazed Roma, and murmured with a smile.

“…Veneto, you’re really strict,” Yubari said, resting her head on the back of her hand. “…But then again, Roma and Bismarck are the same type of ship girl…”

Veneto hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Indeed."

Veneto looked at the unconscious Roma in his arms, and couldn't help but smirk slightly. "Perhaps one day... she might even be able to rank among the top-tier ship girls in the naval base."

Veneto reached out and gently stroked Rome's forehead.

His gaze was gentle.

"This world will not let down those who work hard in the right way..."

Veneto said in a low voice.

Rome's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he mumbled something under his breath.

"Rome? Are you awake? Get up, I need to talk to you..."

"Hard...so hard..." Roma murmured, nestled in Veneto's arms, a pained expression on her face. "Big Sister...so hard..."

“…” Veneto.

Veneto's small hand, which had been resting on Roma's forehead, silently moved down to Roma's neck. With Veneto's breathing becoming slightly heavier, it trembled as it reached out and pinched Roma's slender neck.

“Veneto, calm down, calm down,” Yubari said.

"I'm calm."

"No, your posture looks a bit impulsive to me. Calm down, you finally have a little sister, if you kill her, you'll have nothing left."

"It's okay, I have a younger sister."

"..." Yubari.

Just as Yubari was at a loss for words.

Roma, who was resting her head on Veneto's chest, seemed to sense Veneto's murderous aura. She shuddered, instantly losing all sleepiness, opened her eyes, and jumped out of Veneto's arms.

"Hard! So...so hard! The Admiral's ship rigging is so hard!!" Roma's eyes gleamed with an inexplicable light as she excitedly turned around. "Big Sister, I think I touched it! I think I touched it! I've figured it out!!"

"What did you touch?"

"I've discovered that artillery fire has its limits! When encountering a strong defense, the more powerful the artillery fire, the more you feel your own limits. I've figured it out! I understand!" Roma excitedly clenched his fists, staring at his bright red forehead, and raised his hands to Veneto. "Unless you use a skill! Big Sister, I... I feel like I've grasped the feeling of activating a skill!"

"Boss! I've unlocked a skill!!"
