Elder brother's garrison

"Wow—it's back to life!"

In the steam-filled repair fluid pool, Anshan, completely naked, poked his head out and let out a blissful sound, as if he had been reborn.

"Sister Anshan, is there anything else that's bothering you? Should we add some more ingredients to the repair pool?" Changchun sat outside the repair pool, looking at Anshan splashing around in it with concern.

"Hehe, it's nothing, I was just exhausted!" Anshan chuckled as she swam to Changchun, revealing her fair shoulders and arms. She rested her arms on the edge of the recovery pool and smiled at Changchun. "Just a little longer and my energy will be fully restored!"

"Then I'm relieved." Seeing Anshan's healthy smile, Changchun breathed a sigh of relief, then asked curiously, "Speaking of which, what did the Admiral do to you, Sister Anshan, just now?"

Changchun was curious about how Xiaobai had exhausted Anshan's stamina in just a few minutes.

While ship girls' stamina isn't exactly limitless, it's not something that's easily depleted either.

“Hmm————” Hearing Changchun’s question, Anshan in the repair pool frowned and thought for a while, puzzled. “I don’t know what happened either… Just now after you left, Changchun, Comrade told me to hold her hand. As soon as I touched her hand, I felt a connection with a vast ocean of spiritual energy, and then… and then I became like this.”

At this point, Anshan's expression turned serious again, and he cautiously inquired of Changchun.

"Changchun, are all the human admirals in this world so ridiculously powerful?"

“That’s definitely not it…” Changchun quickly denied it, and explained to Anshan with a smile, “Our admiral is special.”

“I knew it! Although this is my first time too, how could everyone have such exaggerated, monstrous mental power!” Anshan said with relief.

"It seems the Admiral was just establishing a mental link with you, Sister Anshan," Changchun said with a smile. "The Admiral's mental strength is too powerful; this kind of thing has happened before."

"—Does this kind of thing happen frequently in naval bases?"

"I heard that this used to be very common, but about half a year ago, the admirals were already very proficient in managing their own admiral networks, so this situation rarely occurs anymore."

“But I…” Anshan looked puzzled and submerged his mouth below the water’s surface, blowing bubbles.

"Sister Anshan, you can check your ship equipment," Changchun reminded her. "If you're linked to the Admiral, there will be the Admiral's mental energy marker in your ship equipment."

"Really? Let me see..." Anshan closed his eyes to check, then opened them in surprise, "Wow, it really is! And it's still warm!"

"See?" Changchun said with a smile.

"Sigh, it was just a regular link after all." Anshan sighed, resting his chin on his hand.

A brief silence fell over the restoration pool.

"Sister Anshan? Have you rested well? The people outside are still waiting for us," Changchun asked Anshan.

"Okay, just a little while."

"OK then……"

Changchun.

"Ok?"

"Want to come in and soak in the water with me?"

"Huh? No, that won't do... I'm not injured, soaking me in would be a waste of the repair fluid..."

"Oh, what a pity." Anshan pretended to give up and turned around, but the next second, she swiftly reached out to Changchun, her snow-white arm instantly grabbing Changchun's arm firmly and pulling her into the repair pool. "There's a flaw!"

"oops!"

Changchun cried out in alarm as Anshan pulled him into the restoration pool.

Pfft!

A small but not too big splash of water bloomed in the restoration pool.

"Hahahahaha————"

Laughter from Anshan echoed through the quiet bathhouse.

Chapter 2630 Ship Equipment in Anshan

Outside the exercise field.

Xiao Bai returned to Nia and Luo Lian's side.

"Xiaobai, what happened over there?" Nia asked Xiaobai curiously as soon as she saw him return. "I saw Anshan collapse to the ground as if all her strength had been drained after shaking hands with you. What happened to her?"

"Well..." Xiaobai sat down next to Nia and said with a smile, "You'll find out soon enough."

"Oh, oh..." Nia nodded, but didn't ask anything more.

Xiao Bai looked at the spacious pool and breathed a sigh of relief, then looked towards Luo Lian on the other side.

To pass the time before the exercise began, Luo Lian was working on the problems that Xiao Bai had brought back from the beach.

Luo Lian held the problem in one hand and a pencil in the other, scribbling and drawing on the draft paper. She wrote down string after string of complicated formulas and drew one diagram after another. Finally, she gently crossed out each solution process with an X. With a frown and a shake of her head, she moved to a new draft paper and started the cycle again.

—It seems that Luo Lian's problem-solving process is not going very smoothly.

Looking at Luo Lian's calm expression, Xiao Bai thought to himself.

Xiao Bai sat quietly next to Luo Lian, watching her solve the problem.

Luo Lian scribbled and drew on the draft paper with her pencil.

Time passes minute by minute.

At one point, Luo Lian, who was engrossed in solving the problem, licked her slightly dry lips. She put down her hand and looked around with longing eyes.

Xiao Bai quickly unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle and immediately handed over a bottle of mineral water with both hands.

Luo Lian stared blankly at the mineral water bottle that appeared in front of her, then turned her head to look at Xiao Bai.

"...Thank you." Luo Lian took the bottled water and smiled at Xiao Bai.

"You're welcome." Xiao Bai smiled and raised her hands to Luo Lian. "Would you like a shoulder massage?"

"...That's not necessary."

"Don't mention it, I'm very skilled."

“…Alright then.” Luo Lian looked at Xiao Bai’s eager expression, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.

Xiao Bai quickly moved behind Luo Lian and put his hands on Luo Lian's shoulders.

Luo Lian tilted her head back and drank two mouthfuls of mineral water. After feeling slightly satisfied, she put down the water and sighed. Just as she was about to say something, Xiao Bai suddenly began her shoulder massage.

Xiao Bai's hands were nimble and gentle, and the pressure she applied each time was just right, with a subtle yet wonderfully teasing feel to them.

This is a technique that Xiaobai developed through countless attempts to masturbate to Dafeng in his mental world.

A massage technique that's practically divine!

In short, the Hand of God!

"Mmm...uh...mmm..." Luo Lian's hand holding the mineral water bottle trembled. She closed her eyes and lowered her head, her snow-white cheeks instantly turning red. Her legs also came together, and her entire upper body unconsciously twisted with Xiao Bai's strength. "Xiao...Xiao Bai...don't..."

"Hmm? Lianlian, your shoulders are a bit stiff. You must have been working very hard lately. It's okay, let me give you a massage." Xiaobai said while massaging Luo Lian's shoulders. "Office work like yours can easily lead to overwork. Even for you, you should pay more attention to rest."

“…Mmm.” Luo Lian trembled slightly as Xiao Bai moved, but still responded softly without resistance.

"Are you feeling any better?" Xiaobai asked with a smile.

"...It feels...much better now," Luo Lian said, her voice trembling.

Xiao Bai really wanted to help Luo Lian, but unfortunately, Xiao Bai was only at an average high school level in math problems. Faced with this world-class math problem in Luo Lian's hands, the only way Xiao Bai could think of to help Luo Lian was to pour her some water and massage her shoulders.

Although it was just a tiny, insignificant task.

But it's so great that I can help Luo Lian.

As Xiaobai pondered this, a sunny smile crept onto her face.

Beneath Xiaobai, Luo Lian lowered her head and bit her lip, her face as red as if it were about to drip water. Her two legs were also tightly twisted together with Xiaobai's massage, leaving marks on the ground.

"...Is this the test of the new era?" The Empire, not far away, looked at Luo Lian and Xiao Bai and asked Veneto in confusion.

“Cough cough—” Veneto coughed twice.

"Children, don't look." Littorio covered the Empire's eyes.

After about ten minutes of massage, Changchun and Anshan finished their rest at the repair pool and appeared on the training field.

"Anshan and Changchun have finally come out!" Xiaobai released Luo Lian's shoulder and smiled at her. "Lianlian, look! The exercise is about to begin!"

"Ha...ha..." Luo Lian gasped for breath, her gaze drifting between Changchun and Anshan on the training field. She wiped the fine sweat from her forehead and forced a smile at Xiaobai, "Hmm..."

"Huh? Why are Anshan and Changchun both wearing different outfits?" Nia looked at the training ground, slightly surprised.

"Maybe it's because it soaked in the repair pool with Anshan," Xiaobai said, returning to her seat and muttering to herself, "Now we can finally see a battle between missile destroyers..."

Escorted by the ship girls, Anshan and Changchun arrived at the entrance of the exercise field.

"Sister Anshan, you're so mean." Changchun pouted, still upset about being pulled into the restoration pool by Anshan. "You suddenly pulled me into the restoration pool, and my clothes got all messed up. I'm going to get angry."

"Sorry, sorry." Anshan smiled. "Then I'll take two more missiles from you as compensation."

"I can do it even if you don't tell me, sister!"

"That's really ruthless. You could at least have declined." A bead of sweat trickled down Anshan's cheek.

"Hehehe." Changchun stuck out his tongue at Anshan.

"The relationship between the seniors from Anshan and Changchun is really good." At the entrance of the training ground, Missouri, wearing a referee's hat, smiled as he looked at Anshan and Changchun.

"Um...who are you...?"

"I am Missouri." Missouri bowed to Anshan. "We are ship girls from a naval base."

“Oh—” Anshan looked at Missouri in surprise, his gaze moving down to the ring on Missouri’s ring finger. “…I see.”

"Senior Anshan, Senior Changchun, has the inspection of the ship's equipment been completed?" Missouri asked with a smile. "Before entering the exercise field, as the exercise referee, Missouri would like to suggest that you two seniors double-check the equipment status."

"Oh! The equipment for the exercise, right?" Anshan nodded upon hearing this.

Under everyone's gaze, Anshan raised her arm, and then, with a flash of white light, a light white ship appeared behind her.

A small missile launcher, resembling a boxing glove, appeared on Anshan's arm.

"The exercise equipment—let me see. Hmm, that's right, the fireworks are all staying put inside." Anshan lifted the missile launcher, looked at it, and then nodded.

Missouri glanced at the ship's equipment on Anshan's body, her gaze flickering slightly.

"Now that the ship equipment inspection is complete, please take your seats, seniors."

……

spectating seats.

Xiao Bai, Luo Lian, and Nia watched as Anshan and Changchun summoned their ship equipment and sailed onto the water.

"So this is what the ship's equipment looks like. It feels so light and agile," Nia remarked, looking at the ship's equipment.

"Hmm..." Luo Lian took a couple of sips of water, and the blush on her face gradually faded. She looked at Anshan on the sea, frowned, and said with some worry, "...I don't think it's going to work."

"Hmm? What's not quite right?" Xiao Bai turned her head curiously upon hearing Luo Lian's words.

"Xiao Bai, do you still have those glasses I gave you last time?" Luo Lian didn't answer Xiao Bai, but asked him instead.

"The glasses from last time... were you referring to those glasses that could see the combat power of ship girls and Abyssal Fleet ships?" Xiaobai asked curiously.

"Ah."

"Yes, I have it with me." Xiaobai reached into her clothes, took the opportunity to open a gap in the ship equipment space, and then took out a pair of glasses.

"Put it on," Luo Lian said with a smile.

"Oh..." Xiaobai put on his combat glasses and looked in the direction of Changchun and Anshan again.

The scene in the lens quickly began to shimmer with snowflakes as Xiaobai's gaze focused on it. A few seconds later, a string of data appeared on the figures of Changchun and Anshan.

Target ship type: guided-missile destroyer

Ship equipment grade: 5

Durability: 33

Firepower: 42

Lightning strike value: 1

Armor value: 40

For null values: 60

......"

This is the ship's equipment data for Changchun.
