As long as one's own condition is "similar" to that of the residents inside, that's sufficient.

similar.

—Even though it's a prototype built with a 100% success rate super construction machine, it's still not a mass-produced model?

—And he had also been in contact with Blaine?

That's exactly what it is...

Wisconsin?

Chapter 1063 Look, Saratoga has made her appearance!

As the ship girls, who had been attacked by the deep sea, returned safely surrounded by an entire luxurious fleet, many admirals along the roadside were drawn to their attention.

As they watched the rookie ship girl being hoisted high in the air like a hero by the fleet of ship girls, looking utterly dejected, their gossipy hearts instantly ignited.

The admirals quickly caught up with the group, taking the opportunity to blend into the main force and inquire about the activities from those around them.

For example, who is this ship girl, what happened at the beach, what are the event details, and so on.

With these admirals acting as swiftly and bravely as paparazzi, the news quickly reached the admiral's guild before the fleet could even carry the new ship girl back to the guild, spreading to almost every admiral.

In no time, almost all the admirals who were reminded of the event received messages such as "There are a bunch of Abyssal Captains in this event", "There are even several Abyssal Captains camping in the bushes at the first point of the event map", and "If it weren't for this new ship girl, the beach area would have been overrun in a short time".

When the admirals received the message, they initially thought they had heard a joke. Many of them said things like "rumors stop with the wise," "the event has started, don't scare yourselves," and "the event isn't that difficult," laughing at the other admirals who looked nervous.

However, as this news spread throughout the entire Admiral's Guild and even the entire Chapter Sea area time and time again, the Admiral's Guild did not take any action to quell the rumors.

Gradually, the admirals began to panic.

At 5 PM, the mission details and event information for the sea area activities were updated on the Admiral's Guild's official website on time.

The lengthy and detailed introduction, with the eight bolded words "Deep Sea Dean Cluster Phenomenon" highlighted in red, left all the admirals who saw the information completely dumbfounded.

This event.

It really is... a dean of deep-sea research institutes?

The overcrowded Admiral's Guild fell into an eerie silence at this moment.

Then, the noise suddenly erupted again.

The once relaxed admirals no longer looked as carefree as before.

The admirals crowded into the hall of the Admirals' Guild, looking tense and helpless. Some were holding their phones, cursing and checking the event information on the screen. Some were squatting in front of the task board, staring blankly at the various high-difficulty activities. Others simply put down their phones and wandered among the crowd, greeting people and asking questions about strategies and equipment while spewing profanities.

However, whatever these admirals are doing now.

At least they're all swearing now.

—What kind of lousy event is this?!

—Is this an event that people actually participate in?

—I'm leaving now, okay?

—You son of a bitch!!! The governor is even demanding that the event be mandatory?

—Governor, are you even human??

The admirals, who usually loved to argue and bicker, were now unusually united.

For a moment, the admirals were filled with righteous indignation, their faces filled with grief and anger.

They finally understood why Chapter Six had been allowing entry but not exit for the past few days.

So they're afraid that if they can't win the competition, they'll just run away?

I %￥——

The admirals shouted and protested, their voices forming a tidal wave that surged towards the management of the Admirals' Guild.

Even now, it seems they had anticipated this development. Both the previous governors and the management of the Admirals' Guild remained as if they were dead, refusing to show their faces no matter how loud the admirals' protests were.

The noise lasted for several hours.

Finally, just when the admirals, whose mentality was about to explode, were about to give up, a seemingly insignificant message quietly spread, compared to the turbulent crowd.

—The rookie ship girl who defeated the Deep Sea Dean at the event entrance brought back her loot.

They are three pieces of deep-sea metal of relatively poor quality.

Although the quality of these three Deepsea Expedition Metals is very poor, and if calculated according to ordinary Deepsea Metals, they would be considered defective products with no value, the Admiral's Guild has still initially set an exorbitant price for them because the supply of Deepsea Expedition Metals in the market is far less than the demand.

A meritorious service worth over three million.

The news spread through the agitated crowd.

Like a surging river and sea, it flowed through the crowds, reaching every corner of Chapter Six, and relentlessly propagating towards the even higher Chapter Seven.

One is worth over three million; if you add three together and round it up to the nearest hundred million, that's a hundred million.

The admirals who learned of this news fell silent.

Most of the admirals present were aware of the high value of deep-sea metals, but when this elusive high value was transformed into tangible data and placed before them, the impact was far greater than before.

The admirals were somewhat bewildered.

This event came out of nowhere in Chapter 6, and many admirals didn't actually have many powerful ship girls with them to conquer the sea areas.

—But, a hundred million!

This event is incredibly difficult. You might end up facing off against an entire team of Abyssal Commanders at the slightest provocation. The event information clearly states that every time these ship girls return from their expeditions, they'll be carrying six heavily damaged ships.

—But, that's a hundred million!

Those stupid governors are unreasonable, demanding that the admiral participate and not leave until the mission is completed. They abuse their power and persecute innocent admirals.

—But…but…one hundred million!!!

How many rapid repair devices could that buy? How many floors of the naval base could that expand? How many resources could that buy? How many large-scale constructions could that allow? How many beautiful outfits could that buy for the ship girls? How many majestic and imposing equipment could that equip them with?

This...this is simply...impossible...to...refuse!

The admirals were utterly bewildered.

"Those three deep-sea metals are now worth 100 million because they are extremely scarce in the market! Extremely scarce! As large quantities of deep-sea metals flood the market, their prices will plummet!"

"It's worth 100 million now, but tomorrow it might only be worth less than 1 million, and the day after tomorrow it might only be worth a little over 10,000!"

"Then... wouldn't that mean..."

"What are you all standing around for! Quickly tell the girls to get ready to go to sea and make their fortune!!! If you're late, you won't even get a bowl of soup!!"

Amidst a deafening roar, the crowd surged out of the Admiral's Guild.

The admirals shouted, some opening their admiral networks, others making phone calls, each calling on the most capable girls in their naval bases to come to Chapter Six. Then they summoned their fishing teams and sped off towards the sea.

Tens of minutes later, the city was deserted as everyone flocked to the streets.

A thunderous roar, like rain and thunder, echoed wave after wave from the horizon on the other side of the sea.

Within the Admiral's Guild, truckloads of rapid repair equipment were being transported to the beach, shuttling back and forth between the Admiral's Guild and the beach non-stop, creating quite a lively scene.

—The admirals became more enthusiastic about participating in the event.

Of course.

Even though the admirals were quite enthusiastic about participating, the difficulty of this event was no exaggeration.

The strength of the Deep Sea Deans will not diminish in the slightest because of the admirals' high spirits.

Time passed, hour by hour.

Truckloads of rapid repair equipment shattered on the beach, piling up into a towering mountain.

The sun sank precariously into the sea. Night gradually fell, and one by one, the streetlights along the city streets lit up.

Until nightfall.

Thanks to the combined efforts of all the admiral ship girls in the city whose eyes had turned into the shape of a ¥ symbol, night fell.

—The total amount of Deepsea Dean metal collected by the entire city's admirals, including the three pieces they initially brought back, is still less than ten.

Even after just one day, as the admirals reluctantly left the Admirals' Guild and the guild closed for the day, the real-time value of the Deep Sea Dean's Metal dropped from three million merit points to one million in just one day.

Of course, this situation did not dampen the admirals' enthusiasm. Seeing the avalanche-like drop in the price of Deepsea Dean Metal, the admirals became even more excited.

night.

Just as most admirals were going to sleep with high hopes, dreaming of making a killing before the price of Deepsea Dean Metal dropped to rock bottom,

The city gates of the chapter city slowly opened with a rumbling sound.

The colorful ship girls eagerly poured into the city, rushing straight towards the white figure that had been waiting in front of the door for a long time.

"Admiral!"

"Little White, we're here!"

"Admiral!!"

"Admiral, hug me!"

"Ti Dudu!"

"noob!"

"OvO!"

"Miss you!!"

"Admiral, I'm here!"

The ship girls instantly filled the streets to the brim.

Tonight, almost all of the main ship girls from the newbie naval base finally arrived at Chapter Six, a day late, and officially reunited with Admiral Shiro.

In the darkness, a soft, golden hue flashed by.

Saratoga, who hadn't seen Xiaobai for a long time, was the first to rush out of the crowd to Xiaobai's side, open his arms, and hug Xiaobai's arm.

Saratoga tilted her head and leaned against Whitebeard's shoulder, her beautiful face full of a satisfied smile.

"Little White! Good evening!!" Saratoga said, rubbing her curvaceous body against Little White's.

Good evening, Saratoga.

Xiaobai greeted each of the ship girls who came to her side with a smile, her eyes quickly searching for Wisconsin's figure among the ship girls in the distance.

Where is Wisconsin?

Wisconsin~Wisconsin~

Surrounded by ship girls, Shiro searched around while humming happily.

Lovely Wisconsin!

My key!

Chapter 1064 Wisconsin

Wisconsin and her sister Missouri, both Iowa-class ship girls, possess beauty and charm that make them stand out even among a kaleidoscopic array of ship girls.

After all of Xiaobai's ship girls rushed into the city gate and blocked the street, Xiaobai only needed to tiptoe slightly to spot the two of them at the very end of the ship girl formation.

At the very back of the line, Missouri, whom I hadn't seen for several days, was walking quietly alongside Wisconsin, head down, carrying her bag and face bowed. She was keeping a low profile.

Missouri wasn't wearing any flashy clothes, nor did she strike any conspicuous poses. Her tall, shapely figure and dignified, elegant face were also concealed to the greatest extent possible through her modest attire and quiet, serene demeanor.

Compared to the ship girls around Missouri, who are like blooming flowers, showing themselves off to all directions, Missouri is as reserved as a flower bud about to bloom.

Even so, Missouri, who was mixed in with the ship girls, did not give off any sense of being a nobody because of her low profile. On the contrary, Missouri gave people a terrifying sense of presence, even though they didn't know why, that this woman was probably the most powerful one in the team.

Wisconsin, which is next to Missouri, is chatting with Washington on the other side.

Having found his little key, Xiaobai quickly looked over.

Wisconsin was all smiles, chatting away with Washington. Though the conversation was unclear, the two seemed to be getting along quite well.

As expected of Wisconsin.

Seeing this, Xiaobai smiled.

These days, there aren't many ship girls in newbie naval bases who can have such a pleasant and equal exchange with Washington for so long.
