Elder brother's garrison

Just now.

A series of synchronized footsteps echoed from behind Luo Lian and Warspite, followed by a thud. Security guards in Admiral's Guild uniforms, wielding stun batons, pushed through the crowd and shouted at everyone, "Attention, Admirals! This is the Admiral's Guild's gate! Public disturbances will result in point deductions. Please put down your weapons within three minutes and leave quietly! I repeat, please put down your weapons within three minutes and leave quietly, or we will take you all to see the Guild Master!"

The security guards' loud voices immediately drowned out the admiral's shouting.

Although the Admiral's Guild's security guards are just ordinary people and don't have the same physical prowess as the ship girls, in Chapter Two, these security guards represent the authority of the Admiral's Guild and are the enforcers of the entire Chapter Two. Therefore, no Admiral present was willing to disobey them.

Upon hearing the security guard's voice, the admirals present froze. Even though they had a thousand or ten thousand things to say, they swallowed their words back and glared at the guard. Then they all looked at Xiaobai, walked up to her silently, left a bunch of business cards in her hand, and then hurriedly left with their ship girls.

At this moment, a large group of burly Admiral Guild security guards were still staring at them with hostile expressions. The troublemaking Admirals left, and the onlookers had no reason to stay. Soon, as the crowd dispersed, the congested roadside became more spacious.

Chapter 2062 Artifact!

The burly security guards stared at the dispersing crowd, then glared at the vendors who tried to peek, sending them back to their stalls. Only then did they turn their stern gazes to Luo Lian's back with satisfaction.

then.

The security guards' fierce gazes instantly softened, and a group of burly men rubbed their hands together, shrank back, and stepped forward to ask Luo Lian respectfully.

"Admiral Luo, as you instructed, we have cleared this area. Are you satisfied?"

"Well, thank you."

"Alright, we're heading back now. If Admiral Luo needs anything, just call us anytime!" The security guards flexed their muscles as they left.

"Uh... Admiral, when did you...?" Warspite looked at Luo Lian with a strange expression.

"When I squeezed in just now, I took a moment to call them and asked them to come over and help manage the security." Luo Lian took out her phone from behind her and waved it.

"..." War-weariness.

"Lianlian!" Just then, Xiaobai finally spotted Luo Lian from afar. She waved excitedly in the direction of Luo Lian and Yan Zhan, then rushed over with a smile, "Lianlian! Did you call those reliable gatekeeper brothers just now? Thank you so much!"

"Yes, I called them." Luo Lian put down her phone and smiled slightly at Xiao Bai. "How did you get surrounded by those people this time?"

"Ah... well..." Xiaobai said awkwardly, "It all started when I first entered the second chapter..."

"I'll listen carefully. Come in first and tell me slowly." Luo Lian turned around, generously took Xiao Bai's hand, and led Xiao Bai towards the Admiral's Guild.

"Oh well!"

-

Inside the Admiral's Guild.

The lobby on the first floor was completely quiet.

The admirals who were waiting in the lobby on the first floor to complete the procedures were all subtly watching Luo Lian and Xiao Bai walk in together, whispering among themselves.

"Huh? Who's that girl?"

"The one with black hair? Don't you recognize her? She's the mistress of the world's number one admiral."

"Nonsense, of course I wasn't asking about that one, I was asking about the white-haired one next to her... I've never seen her before? She seems to have a particularly good relationship with that mistress? This is the first time I've ever seen her smile like that."

"Uh... I don't know either..."

"Hmm... white hair, little girl... why does she look so familiar..."

"..."

Hearing the faint whispers around the hall, Warspite sighed helplessly, then looked at Luo Lian and Xiao Bai.

Luo Lian and Xiao Bai seemed completely oblivious to the admirals around them.

Since they came in, the two of them had been talking non-stop in their light voices.

"Actually, it's like this... When I first came to the second chapter, because I only brought Super Da and one other person, I seemed to be mistaken for a newbie who cleared the first chapter by luck. So, a few admirals approached me on the way... Because I was in a bit of a hurry... I let Super Da and her show off a little, but Super Da and her seemed to have misjudged her strength, and she glared at those admirals' ship girls until they were knocked down on the spot... I wanted to apologize, but those admirals kept bothering me, saying they insisted that I join their teams..." Xiaobai explained awkwardly to Luo Lian, "Then... later, I don't know where they heard about it, several more admirals' teams came, all saying they wanted me to join them, so things developed into what just happened."

"I see, you've worked hard." Luo Lian said to Xiao Bai with emotion, then asked, "Do you want to punish them? I know all those people, and I even have their team numbers."

"Ah... I guess we don't need that..."

"Okay." Luo Lian nodded, looked around the lobby on the first floor, and then added to Xiao Bai, "There are too many people here, let's go to the fourth floor."

"Okay."

Xiao Bai and Luo Lian walked up the stairs in full view of everyone.

Warspite and Super Large exchanged a glance.

"...Hello." Super Large and Honest Man bowed and greeted Warspite.

"Greetings." Warspite slightly bent her knees, lifted the sides of her skirt, and nodded in greeting. "You can call me Warspite."

"My name is Super Yamato." Super Yamato blinked and nodded.

"..." Warspite looked at the super Yamato and gave a polite smile.

Ugh.

It's been so long since I've seen such a sensible ship girl.

Xiao Bai, Luo Lian, and the four of them, including Yan Zhan Chao Dahe, made their way to the fourth floor of the Admiral's Guild. After entering the fourth floor, Luo Lian closed the door at the top of the stairs. As the door closed tightly, the noisy voices coming from the third floor disappeared, and the four of them became quiet again.

"Huh... so this is what the fourth floor of the Admiral's Guild looks like?" Xiaobai muttered to himself, looking at the mountains of mechanical parts around him.

"Actually, it wasn't like this before, but I borrowed this floor for research, and it gradually became like this." Luo Lian explained to Xiao Bai, "Of course... I paid the full amount for borrowing this floor, not a penny less."

"Should I pay the president?"

"That's it."

"Expensive?"

"so so."

"...Then could you please pass on a message to the president for me, saying that I'm giving this floor to you? How about that?" Xiao Bai said with a smile, her hands behind her back, to Luo Lian.

In the current second chapter, the entire Admiral Guild, from top to bottom, including Guild Leader Er Gou himself, is owned by the newbie garrison. As the nominal and legal owner here, Xiao Bai may not have much power, but he has given Luo Lian a floor to support her research.

Of course.

Xiao Bai never doubted Luo Lian's ability to earn money. After all, she had never lacked money in her life. Whether the rent for this floor was paid or not, it would not affect Luo Lian's current lifestyle, nor would it cause her any financial pressure. Xiao Bai was just showing his friendship.

"Thank you." After hearing Xiaobai's words, Luo Lian didn't stand on ceremony. She nodded with a smile, accepting Xiaobai's kindness. "Then Xiaobai, you will be the largest shareholder of my research project from now on."

"Haha, that sounds pretty impressive."

"I will try my best to make my research project worthy of your status," Luo Lian said with a smile.

"Lianlian, what have you been researching lately? Are you still researching ship girl construction devices?" Xiaobai asked Luo Lian with a smile.

“Recently… research on ship girl construction devices has actually been suspended for a while. I’ve been researching other gadgets, just as a way to relax,” Luo Lian said to Xiao Bai.

"Other little gadgets? What are they?" Xiaobai asked curiously upon hearing this.

"It's just a little toy, as its name suggests." Luo Lian said, leading everyone to her workbench. Then, she casually picked up an object from the workbench and handed it to Xiao Bai.

What Luo Lian handed to Xiao Bai was a small piece of glass with various colorful wires inserted all around it. As Luo Lian picked it up, these colorful wires rattled and slapped against each other in mid-air, making a rustling sound.

"Lianlian, what is this?" Xiaobai reached out and took the glass shard that Luo Lian handed over.

"Hmm... Little White, do you remember the ship girl radar I invented a while ago?" Luo Lian stroked her chin, seemingly considering how to explain her research findings to Little White.

"I remember," Xiaobai nodded. "You mean that helmet that can play music, right?"

"Yes."

"That one works pretty well."

"I'm glad you like it." Luo Lian said with a smile, then sat down on the workbench and pressed a button. "Actually, I got some inspiration from that invention. Since I can use the aura of ship girls to locate them, why can't I make it even more sensitive and create a portable device that can analyze the aura of ship girls?"

As Luo Lian spoke, the circuits on the table gradually lit up, and the buzzing of the motor began to roar. The glass shard in Xiao Bai's hand froze like a television screen with static before becoming clear again.

"Xiao Bai, use this as a lens for your glasses and put it in front of your eyes," Luo Lian said to Xiao Bai.

"Oh? Oh, oh..." Xiaobai nodded, then, following Luo Lian's instructions, raised the glass shard to her eyes and looked around. "This is... huh?"

The glass shard was transparent, and at first glance, there were no strange images inside. But when Xiaobai held the glass shard and looked at Warspite, who was closest to him, he was surprised to find that some strange data appeared on the lens in front of him like labels, floating beside Warspite.

"Target ship type: battleship."

Ship equipment grade: 4

Lv:87

Firepower: 69

Armor value: 67

Airborne: 45

......"

Xiaobai stared blankly at Warspite in her line of sight. At first, she thought she was seeing things and couldn't help but rub her eyes. Then, she observed Warspite again and found that the data tags were still around Warspite.

Is it...

These data... indicate war-weariness?

Having followed Tirpitz through countless AAA games, competitive games, fighting games, and even garbage games of all kinds, Xiaobai was able to clearly understand the meaning behind these data after just a few glances.

This is clearly a character attribute table!

"This feels...like playing a game..." Xiaobai muttered softly, staring at Warspite while holding the glasses.

These labeled data are only reflected on the lens in Xiaobai's hand. As the subject of observation, Warspite is completely unaware of them. Furthermore, it seems that Warspite is unaware of Luo Lian's invention. When Xiaobai is staring at her, she just feels strange and unconsciously straightens her clothes.

"It's a pretty good toy, isn't it?" Luo Lian's voice reached Xiao Bai's ears.

"Ah... um... it's quite interesting..." Xiaobai muttered to himself, subconsciously glancing in the direction of the super Yamato.

As the target of observation changed, another row of new label data appeared next to the super-large object on the lens in Xiaobai's hand.

"Target ship type: deep-sea battleship."

Ship equipment grade: 6

Lv: 120

Firepower: 350

Armor value: 200

Airborne: 250

......"

Damn it.

What an artifact!

Chapter 2063 Xiaobai's Attributes

"Lianlian, how did you make this device? You're amazing..." Xiaobai put down the lens in her hand and said to Luo Lian with an amazed look.

Luo Lian usually enjoys tinkering with small inventions, most of which are quite effective and add a lot of fun to having around. But this time, Xiao Bai was not amused by Luo Lian's invention; instead, he was utterly amazed and shocked. To put it slightly exaggeratedly, when Xiao Bai saw the "character panels" of Warspite and Super Yamato through the lens, he even faintly heard the creaking sound of the wheels of time rolling forward.

The lens in my hand is an incredible thing! It can directly quantify the ship girls I see, expressing their various abilities in the most intuitive and concise way!

Xiaobai's feelings mostly stemmed from her experience during her time at the Ship Equipment Research Center. There, she witnessed more than once how the ship equipment researchers went to great lengths to investigate the ship equipment attributes of a certain ship girl, setting up measuring instruments one after another along the artificial lake. Dozens of people worked tirelessly all day long, only to measure a few basic ability values ​​in the end.

Now, the stats of those ship girls that drive dozens of ship equipment research institutes crazy can be easily discerned with just a glance through the lens in his hand...

To give a simple example, if there existed a glass pane that allowed coaches to see their athletes' physical fitness data, they could effortlessly create the perfect training goals, select athletes based on their strengths and weaknesses, and even use the intuitive ability data as the most reliable reference material when selecting athletes for competitions…

Admiral and ship girl... isn't that just like the relationship between a coach and an athlete?

What a great invention!

Holding the glass shard in his hands, Xiaobai's amazement did not diminish with the passage of time; on the contrary, the more he thought about it, the more incredible it seemed.

"I'm glad you like it so much." Luo Lian looked at the amazed expression on Xiao Bai's face, and her smile also spread comfortably. She took the glass shard from Xiao Bai's hand, played with it for a moment, and then said to Xiao Bai, "The working principle of this device... actually, as I just mentioned, is essentially no different from the ship girl radar I gave you last time. It's just that this one has added a few details and functions, making the device's ability change from simply capturing the aura of ship girls to capturing and analyzing the aura of target ship girls."

At this point, Luo Lian's face showed a hint of regret.

“Compared to the ship girl radar I gave you before, this instrument actually has its drawbacks. First of all, because it needs to analyze the aura of the ship girls, its range of action cannot be as far as before; it only works on targets in front of it.” Luo Lian poked the glass in her hand with her finger. “Also, because I need to present information, I can only make it into a glass plate, so the music and radio listening functions that you like cannot be implemented.”

"Are these two considered flaws...?" Xiaobai gave a wry smile. She walked up to Luo Lian, raised her hand, and patted Luo Lian's shoulder earnestly. "Lianlian, I can tell you with absolute certainty that the invention you have now is absolutely amazing! Absolutely incredible!"

"Is that so..." Luo Lian listened to Xiao Bai's words, looked down thoughtfully at the lens in her hand, then looked up at Xiao Bai and smiled, "Then Xiao Bai, you are also very amazing, because you have just become the major shareholder of this invention."

"Uh……"

"Although the basic functions of this invention have been improved, it is not yet finished." Luo Lian said, handing the lens in her hand to Xiao Bai again. "If you like it, I will make you a portable version in a while."

"Huh? Is that really possible? This is a groundbreaking invention that will shock the entire admiral world... Lianlian, if you inform the ship equipment research center in Kyoto about this thing, I'm sure you'll become the strongest scientist of this century! You'll never have to worry about food or drink for the rest of your life, even if you don't work!"
