Elder brother's garrison

"The client?" Admiral Haoding nodded. "Yes, there's no need to hide anything about that. The client for the mission in Chapter 8 of the open field is none other than the Admiral's Headquarters."

"No wonder..." Xiao Bai realized, "When was this mission?"

"It was only recently sent to me." Admiral Haoding paused for a moment after saying this, "...Speaking of which, Admiral Lu Lin."

"Ok?"

"Are you aware of the strange change that occurred at the Deep Sea Dean in Chapter Six some time ago?"

"Yes, I know," Xiaobai nodded. "I was there."

In Chapter 1621, the Deep Sea Dean's strange transformation actually benefited Xiaobai the most.

"That explains it." Admiral Haoding smiled easily and said to Xiaobai, "In the Deep Sea Dean's mutation event in Chapter Six, did hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of Deep Sea Deans appear?"

"Ah."

"Although the deep-sea anomaly was ultimately quelled thanks to the efforts of admirals who rushed to the scene, Chapter Six has been left with some serious problems." Admiral Haoding spread his empty hands at Xiaobai. "It seems that because a large number of deep-sea deans were spawned in one go, the originally abundant deep-sea resentment within Chapter Six is ​​now quite worrying. According to calculations and predictions by experts at the Admiral Headquarters, it will take Chapter Six fifty to one hundred years to barely return to its previous state."

“…Uh.” Xiaobai.

"Chapter Six is ​​no longer the leveling paradise that admirals could freely exploit due to the lack of a large amount of deep-sea resentment," Admiral Haoding said with some worry. "It won't be for at least the next fifty years."

"Ah..." Xiaobai covered her mouth.

With a reminder from Admiral Haoding, Xiaobai finally realized what was happening.

Chapter 1622 is the home of the admirals.

The favorite thing for high-ranking admirals to do on a daily basis is to camp at the entrance of Chapter 6 and use the unique geographical environment and the endless supply of Abyssal Fleet ships there to train their own ship girls and obtain a lot of resources.

It can be said.

Over 90% of high-ranking admirals developed their naval base strength through training in Chapter Six.

After the last incident involving the Deep Sea Dean, the sixth chapter has degenerated from a precious leveling spot into an ordinary deep-sea area due to the shrinking of the deep-sea aura. High-ranking admirals can no longer camp out at the entrance of the sixth chapter to fish as usual, thus losing the opportunity to improve themselves.

If this situation is left unchecked, what will become of the human admirals who have lost their top-tier leveling spots fifty years from now?

—Can it still defeat the deep-sea amphibious assault ship?

Xiao Bai swallowed hard.

Ok.

Just thinking about it is terrifying.

"It seems that you understand now, Admiral Lu Lin." Admiral Hao Ding sighed and said to Xiao Bai in a deep voice, "Although there are leveling spots in Chapter Seven, compared to the perfect existence of Chapter Six, the leveling spots in Chapter Seven have some obvious flaws and constraints. If left unattended, the decline of Chapter Six will seriously affect the overall strength of the world's admirals in the coming decades."

"So... is this the reason why headquarters sent Admiral Haoding to develop Chapter Eight?" Xiaobai asked Admiral Haoding.

“Exactly!” Admiral Haoding nodded seriously. “Since we’ve searched all over Chapter Seven and haven’t found a leveling spot as good as Chapter Six, why not explore Chapter Eight? I’m sure there are places in the unknown seas that are even more suitable as leveling spots than Chapter Six… no, even better than Chapter Six!”

Admiral Haoding spoke with great pride and enthusiasm.

Looking at Admiral Haoding, who was full of pride and ambition and seemed to be on the verge of growing wings and flying into the sky, Xiaobai finally understood why the headquarters chose Admiral Haoding to develop the eighth chapter.

Hao Ding's garrison is already among the top ten garrisons in terms of absolute strength. In addition, Hao Ding, as the admiral, is a passionate and righteous man. He would definitely take the lead and be the first to rush forward when it comes to serving the people.

"To be honest, Admiral Lu Lin, two days before this emergency mission began, I was still trying to explore the eighth chapter, but I encountered some trouble and couldn't get away for the time being, which is why I was a few days late in arriving here," Admiral Hao Ding said to Xiao Bai.

"I see." Xiaobai nodded. "Hmm... so, the location of Chapter Eight..."

"The designated area for the eighth chapter's development was actually chosen by the Admiral's Headquarters a long time ago, but the development difficulty was quite great, so it was shelved for many years until this incident happened in the sixth chapter, at which point we remembered to find someone to carry it out," Admiral Haoding said. "...Admiral Lu Lin, what do you think?"

"Admiral Haoding, do you think I am capable of handling this mission?" Xiaobai asked Admiral Haoding.

"Of course!" Upon hearing this, Admiral Haoding nodded with renewed confidence. "I have gained a completely new understanding of the strength of Admiral Lu Lin's naval base after this event! Although it's not my style to be pessimistic, I actually suffered a lot of setbacks in Chapter 8 before coming here. I realized that with my own strength, it would be difficult to support this pioneering operation... But with the help of your naval base, Admiral Lu Lin, there will be absolutely no problem!"

"Ah..." Xiaobai blinked and nodded.

"Then, Admiral Lu Lin... may I ask..." Admiral Hao Ding bowed slightly and earnestly asked Xiao Bai for his opinion once again.

"Hmm...hmm, if it's about taking responsibility for the future of humanity...I have no reason to refuse." Xiaobai nodded and blinked. "But...that..."

"Does Admiral Lu Lin have anything to say?"

"The...reward for the mission..." Xiaobai asked cautiously, her face flushed.

"Reward?" Admiral Haoding was taken aback, then suddenly realized and smiled at Xiaobai, "Ah... I see, it seems Admiral Lu Lin doesn't have any experience in pioneering new lands..."

"Huh? Did I say something wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai's cheeks immediately flushed.

“No, no, Admiral Lu Lin, you are absolutely right. Since it’s a mission, it’s only natural that there should be a reward.” Admiral Hao Ding nodded. He pondered for a moment and then said to Xiao Bai, “The reward for exploring the eighth chapter is, on the surface, the same as the reward for a regular high-level mission.”

"Is it the same as a regular high-level commission?"

Xiao Bai suddenly felt a little discouraged after hearing this.

Advanced commissions are the type of commissions that new ship girls in naval bases often receive.

While the rewards for these kinds of commissions are relatively generous—enough to make the admiral and ship girls happy for a regular naval base—they are somewhat indifferent to the already large and established rookie naval bases.

This is like someone with millions in assets receiving a monthly salary of two or three thousand yuan.

Is it two or three thousand?

There are still too many.

But will you feel happy?

That's definitely not something to be happy about.

After all, a few thousand dollars wouldn't even amount to a fraction of one's millions in assets.

Xiaobai has never been someone who prioritizes profit above all else.

Since this mission is related to the fate of humanity, Xiaobai, out of duty as an admiral, will not change his mind just because the reward for the mission is not great.

Xiaobai was just a little disappointed.

Originally, seeing Admiral Haoding looking so mysterious when he came to discuss something with him, he thought he was going to get a huge reward. However, he didn't expect that although the mission itself was exciting, the reward was really disappointing.

Seeing the slightly disappointed expression on Xiaobai's face, Admiral Haoding laughed heartily.

"Admiral Lu Lin, I haven't finished speaking yet."

"Huh? Is there any more?"

"Yes, although the rewards for the mission to explore the eighth chapter are very ordinary, they are only a drop in the ocean compared to the real rewards."

"Admiral Haoding said seriously to Xiaobai."

"The real reward?"

Xiao Bai was taken aback and subconsciously pricked up its ears.

"Admiral Lu Lin, if the exploration of Chapter 8 is successful," Admiral Hao Ding held up one finger to Xiao Bai, "firstly, as the pioneers, we have the right to be among the first admirals to enter Chapter 8, and secondly..."

As Admiral Haoding finished speaking, he slowly extended his second finger.

"As the pioneer of Chapter 8, you will also enjoy the share of the Chapter 8 Admiral's Guild—that is to say, Admiral Lu Lin and your naval base will have ownership of a portion of all the deep-sea metals produced in Chapter 8 in the future."

Chapter 1623 A Good Admiral

Admiral Haoding has finished speaking.

Little White opened its mouth wide and stood there stunned.

Absolutely.

So awesome?

The reward for clearing Chapter 8... is actually the ability to become a shareholder in the Admiral's Guild and own a portion of all the deep-sea metals within Chapter 8?!

In other words.

In the future, all admirals who come to Chapter 8 will have the right to take a portion of the deep-sea metal they hand over to the Admiral Guild.

To know.

A large-scale chapter in the later stages of the game can definitely accommodate at least several hundred admirals, if not thousands. If the eighth chapter is successfully conquered, those who can reach the eighth chapter will all be world-class high-level naval bases, with each base having the productivity of a hundred ordinary naval bases...

Doesn't that mean the high-ranking admirals of this entire chapter are working for themselves?

瓦。

That must cost a fortune...

Is this what they call making money while lying down?

So exciting.

Even a novice with a large and powerful family couldn't help but waver after hearing Admiral Haoding's words.

Xiao Bai said he was a little shocked.

"How is it, Admiral Lu Lin?" Admiral Hao Ding asked.

"...Wow, that's amazing..." Xiaobai couldn't find the words to express her feelings. She nodded blankly at Admiral Haoding, quite impressed.

But it's a sigh of relief.

Thinking about what Admiral Haoding had just said, Xiaobai suddenly felt a little strange.

Just now, when Admiral Haoding was talking about the division of deep-sea metals... he seemed to only mention "Admiral Lu Lin" and did not mention himself?

"Admiral Haoding," Xiaobai said to Admiral Haoding, "Um... let me ask you something."

"What do you want to ask? Just say it."

"Admiral Haoding...can you also get a share of the deep-sea metal from Chapter 8?" Xiaobai asked cautiously.

Admiral Haoding was taken aback. He looked at Xiaobai with some surprise, then scratched his head and smiled.

"Haha... Admiral Lu Lin is indeed very shrewd... Did you find out about this, Admiral Lu Lin?" Admiral Hao Ding said in a low voice, then shook his head, "Hmm... That's right, just as you thought, Admiral Lu Lin, my naval base does not have the right to take away the deep-sea metal of Chapter 8."

"Huh? Why?" Xiaobai was taken aback.

"Hmm... how should I put it?" Admiral Haoding breathed a sigh of relief, speaking to Xiaobai as if it were a very ordinary matter, "The mission to open up the eighth chapter was originally a solo mission, and the reward was naturally for one person only. After Admiral Lu Lin joined the mission, I obviously couldn't get a share of the reward."

There was no regret or pity on Admiral Haoding's face; on the contrary, he was quite calm.

"Huh? This..." Xiaobai was shocked. She quickly said to Admiral Haoding, "How can that be? That would be like me stealing your mission, Admiral Haoding... We can't do that. How about we, the two naval bases, divide the deep-sea metal in Chapter 8 equally? That way..."

"Thank you very much, Admiral Lu Lin." Admiral Hao Ding smiled slightly as he looked at Xiao Bai's hurried explanation, but still shook his head. "However, Admiral Lu Lin, although this reward is very tempting, you don't need to worry about me. Just take it into your naval base."

"Eh……"

"I have witnessed the strength of your naval base, Admiral Lu Lin." Admiral Hao Ding patted his chest earnestly. "My idea of ​​sharing the mission with you, Admiral Lu Lin, is one I have carefully considered. To be honest, the reclamation area of ​​Chapter 8 is more difficult than we imagined. If I were to rely on myself alone, reclamation of Chapter 8... would be almost impossible. Only with the help of your naval base, Admiral Lu Lin, is there any hope for this reclamation operation. As the saying goes, the capable should do more, so isn't it only natural that this reward should go to the strongest, Admiral Lu Lin?"

"Um... can't we divide it equally? Or can we distribute it according to the proportion of effort put in?"

“Some rules are just unreasonable sometimes.” Admiral Haoding smiled and waved his hand dismissively. “Admiral Lu Lin, I’m not short of money. Whether it’s resources or deep-sea metals, as long as it’s enough for my naval base to operate normally, that’s fine. Besides, the pioneering of Chapter 8 is extremely difficult. I’m transferring this reward to you in the hope that it will become the motivation for you to keep fighting, Admiral Lu Lin.”

"..." Xiao Bai blinked and looked at Admiral Hao Ding.

The eyes of Admiral Haoding as he gazed at Xiaobai were filled with righteous expectation.

Xiao Bai lowered his head.

"Um... thank you, Admiral Haoding. I will do my best."

"Great!" A refreshing smile spread across Admiral Haoding's face. He took out a small black USB drive from his clothes and handed it to Xiaobai. "Admiral Lu Lin, this is information about the reclamation area in Chapter Eight. I will go to Chapter Eight to continue my mission as soon as this event is over. Admiral Lu Lin, there is no need to rush. Reclamation is not something that can be done in a day or two. You can rest for a few days before you go."

"Okay." Xiaobai took the USB drive from Admiral Haoding with both hands.

"That's all I wanted to say." Admiral Haoding smiled, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. He grabbed a wine glass from the table that was open to anyone, tilted his head back, and gulped it down in one go. "Ha—that's refreshing! Well then, Admiral Lu Lin, I won't bother you any longer!"

Admiral Haoding put down his empty wine glass, waved to Xiaobai, and prepared to leave.

"Ah...Admiral Haoding!" Xiaobai called out.

"Admiral Lu Lin? Is there anything else?" Admiral Hao Ding turned to Xiao Bai and asked.

"It's not that there's anything wrong... right?" Xiaobai held the black USB drive, thought for a while, and asked Admiral Haoding with some confusion, "It's just that... why are you taking this mission so seriously when you can't get any rewards, Admiral Haoding?"

"...Me?" Admiral Haoding pointed to himself.

"Mm." Xiaobai nodded.

"Didn't we say this reason from the beginning? This is a favor our naval base owes Admiral Lu Lin." Admiral Haoding paused slightly, thought for a moment, and then looked up and said, "If there's anything else... well, if we really have to say, it's that now that Chapter Six is ​​in a slump and the admirals have lost their leveling spots, someone has to step up and give them a new leveling spot in Chapter Eight, right?"

"What if... there are no leveling spots in Chapter 8?"

"Hahahaha! Don't worry! There will be." Admiral Haoding nodded seriously, then tilted his head back and laughed heartily. "There will be leveling spots in Chapter 8! If not, then I'll explore Chapter 9, Chapter 10, Chapter 11! As long as I persevere and don't give up, I'll always find new leveling spots! Hahahaha!"
