Elder brother's garrison

Xiao Bai withdrew his palm.

"Ugh...this thing looks kind of disgusting." The pursuer squatted down to the side and said somewhat nauseatingly as she watched Little White interact with the soft creature.

"Hmm... yes, a little..." Xiaobai nodded and gently turned the submarine enemy's body to face up.

The enemy submarine's front side flipped over.

From the front, Xiaobai could finally see her face clearly.

The bodysuit that had been clinging tightly to her body now showed numerous tears in Xiaobai's vision. The tears were not large, but there were quite a few. After the purplish-black gel tore open, her milky-white skin was exposed. It was slightly bulging out of the tight clothes, and combined with the submarine girl's petite and lovely figure, it was a sight that stirred up a strange feeling in people's hearts.

"Impressive... Fubuki's anti-submarine attack only caused her minor injuries. Her ship equipment wasn't even severely damaged." Xiaobai muttered to himself, "She was probably just hit by Fubuki's attack by accident. Her defensive measures weren't in place, and she was knocked unconscious."

"Hehe." Fubuki scratched her head and laughed shyly.

"Even if she was stunned, that's still quite something..." the pursuer muttered to himself. "Even my anti-submarine attacks couldn't do any damage to this little guy. How did Fubuki manage to stun her so badly all of a sudden?"

"Well..." Xiaobai smiled wryly upon hearing this. After thinking for a moment, she looked up at Fubuki and asked, "Fubuki, when you hit this submarine, did you do anything special?"

"No..." Fubuki shook her head, "It's just normal fried fish."

"Normal frying fish..." Xiaobai blinked, then thought for a moment, "Could it be related to the skill?"

Xiaobai gazed at Fubuki's face, subconsciously recalling the past.

Fubuki certainly has skills; as a top-tier destroyer in a new naval base, she even possesses more than one skill.

In Xiaobai's memory, the skill that Fubuki used most often was an aura skill that could enhance her and her Fubuki-class sisters. Under the effect of this aura skill, the four Fubuki-class destroyers together could even exert a performance far exceeding that of ordinary destroyers.

Xiao Bai thought and thought. This skill is powerful, but Bai Xue, Chu Xue, and Shen Xue are not here tonight, so Fubuki's skill doesn't seem to have much use.

So... the one who allowed her to unleash the Submarine Girl's skill was indeed the second one?

What was Fubuki's second skill again?

Xiaobai really didn't know...

Because of the frequency with which Fubuki uses her skills, Shiro only knows about Fubuki's first skill. As for her second skill, Shiro only vaguely knows that it is an effect that amplifies the user's own type... As for the specific details, that goes back to a long, long time ago, even before Shiro knew Fubuki.

"Fubuki, you have two skills, right?" Shiro asked Fubuki.

“Yes!” Fubuki nodded.

"Your first skill is to enhance yourself and your sisters, right?"

“Yes.” Fubuki continued to nod.

"And the second one?"

"The second one?" Fubuki blinked. "The second skill, Admiral, don't you know?"

"...You've never used it in front of me before." Xiaobai scratched his cheek.

"Hmm, I thought the Admiral knew." Fubuki pouted and said, "I rarely use my second skill, and I can't quite explain its effects right now, but it seems to be a skill that adds torpedo damage to all my attacks."

"Oh...all attacks...torpedo damage." Xiaobai nodded, seemingly lost in thought. "Why don't you usually use this skill?"

"That's because the other skill is even better!" Fubuki said, hands on her hips. "Not only can I fight alongside Shirayuki and the others, but I can also use this skill to help Ayanami and the others! That way, I can use six skills at once!"

"Good."

Xiaobai nodded, then shifted her gaze to the submarine girl in front of her.

So... it really is because of the second skill.

Fubuki's second skill is a passive skill that adds special torpedo damage to all her attacks. Judging from the fact that Fubuki doesn't use this skill much, the added value probably isn't very high...

but……

Fubuki didn't seem to notice that the additional torpedo damage effect of her second skill was actually true damage.

True damage is the most realistic damage.

Xiao Bai looked at the submarine girl's body, his gaze fixed on her.

Even with 999 armor, Fubuki's second skill's true damage can still inflict a significant layer of fixed damage... Admittedly, judging from this submarine girl, Fubuki's additional torpedo effect's true damage shouldn't be very high, but for enemies whose defenses are already impenetrable, this true damage becomes the most realistic and effective means of inflicting damage...

Ugh.

It's true that there is always someone who can defeat you.

Xiao Bai couldn't help but sigh.

Chapter 3627 The Disappearance of the Submarine

Indeed, there are no useless skills in this world, only unsuitable occasions.

Even if the effect is lackluster, it can still have a huge impact and benefit as long as the environment meets the requirements.

"Admiral? What are you laughing at?" Fubuki looked at Shiro's smiling face and tilted her head curiously.

"It's nothing." Xiaobai reached out and patted Fubuki's head. "You're so cute, Fubuki."

"Huh?" Fubuki blinked, her small mouth slightly open. "Admiral?"

"This submarine was probably defeated by your second skill," Xiaobai said to Fubuki. "She has terrifying evasion and formidable defense, but you can use an infinite number of attempts to get a single hit. Your second skill can also penetrate her defenses and attack her main body..."

"True damage?!" The pursuer interrupted immediately upon hearing Xiaobai's words.

"You know this term too?" Xiaobai looked at the pursuer in surprise.

“I’m a streamer, after all…” the pursuer said.

"That's right."

"True damage" isn't a term from the Kantai Collection community, but rather from the gaming community. Xiaobai only learned about this term because he played the game with Tirpitz for two and a half years. As for the Chaser... he used to be a streamer, and a hardcore chat streamer at that, so he should definitely know about this.

"Fortunately, this submarine's health points shouldn't be much different from a normal submarine," Xiaobai said.

"Heh, if the health bar is 999, what's the point of playing?" The pursuer chuckled bitterly, his voice full of vicissitudes.

Xiao Bai was about to speak.

At that moment, the submarine beneath them suddenly let out a soft moan and began to slowly roll over.

The three people on the land-based ship all turned their gazes to her.

This submarine... is about to wake up!

Shiro, the Chaser, and Fubuki silently watched the submarine. She seemed to have just woken up, letting out a strange humming sound. Then she stretched out her hands and pressed them against her transparent helmet, shook her body, and rolled over on the floor, swaying like a dog paddle.

Suddenly, the submarine seemed to realize that it was not in the water.

The next moment, she suddenly opened her eyes, sat up in a sit-up, and looked at the crowd in front of her with a pair of purple eyes filled with fear and shock.

"Good evening." Little White squatted down in front of the submarine and smiled at it.

"!!!" The submarine's big eyes glared angrily at Little White.

The pursuers and Fubuki immediately stood guard around Shiro, watching her warily.

"Ah... Awooo..." The submarine opened its mouth and weakly uttered a threatening sound to Little White.

Xiaobai listened to the sounds with a smile, and continued to watch the submarine.

"If I remember correctly, I should have already taught you to speak when we last met... Why don't you try communicating with me in human language?" Little White said gently. "With your current level, you should be able to understand what I'm saying, right?"

"..." The submarine stood frozen in place.

After a while, the submarine's expression turned strange.

She looked down at the small wounds on her body, then at Shiro's smile, and continued to look at the two ship girls beside her, her gaze lingering especially on Fubuki.

After a while, it continued.

The submarine made a swallowing motion and spoke to Little White.

“...You...hitting...hitting people...is wrong…”

The submarine opened her mouth, and it sounded slightly hoarse, but her tone was very delicate and pleasant.

After her voice became hoarse, her pronunciation clearly became smoother over time.

"It can speak human language, amazing!" the pursuer exclaimed, crouching to the side as he looked at the submarine.

"!" The submarine was startled by the pursuer's voice. She quickly moved her buttocks back and looked at the pursuer with a timid expression.

“Chaser, you scared her,” Xiaobai said.

“She gets scared too,” the pursuer pouted. “When you attacked us before, you seemed pretty hot-tempered.”

"...Human...human..." The submarine looked at its pursuer, its purple eyes flashing repeatedly, "human..."

"people?"

"If others don't offend me... I... I won't offend them... If they offend me... I'll... I'll hunt them down for thousands of miles."

"...Goodness, you even know how to use colloquialisms." The pursuer laughed. "You little brat, huh? So, you talk like that, huh?"

"But we were the ones who attacked her first," Fubuki said to Shiro and the pursuers.

“That’s true.” Xiaobai nodded. She looked at the little girl in front of her, who was wary and somewhat helpless, clutching her limbs, and asked, “So the reason you attacked us is because we attacked you first, right?”

"..." The submarine nodded.

"Why are you here?"

"I...I heard...the sound of one of their own kind being crushed," the submarine said. "They're not friendly...I came to investigate..."

"Oh... I see." Xiaobai stroked his chin thoughtfully. "So this is why the fried fish attracted you... Do you only appear at night? Where are you during the day?"

"daytime?"

"It's when the sun is in the sky."

"sun?"

"..."

Little White stared at the submarine with a blank, adorable expression.

Ok.

It seems that this submarine does indeed only appear at night.

This explains why the submarine attacked the ship girls.

In the 8-2 sea area, she would probably wander around aimlessly as soon as she appeared. The sound of fish being blasted in the sea would attract her from a distance. Of course, this attraction should not be malicious. According to what she just said, she seemed to be there just to watch the fun.

However, the ship girls who were busy blasting submarines were completely unaware of her plan. When they saw a new submarine reacting underwater, they would immediately treat her as one of the other deep-sea submarines and blast her along with them without hesitation. And then... it was only natural that the attacked submarine girl would choose to fight back. Her personality was the kind that would relentlessly pursue the enemy once provoked, so it's no wonder that she chased the ship girls all over the place.

Thinking about this, Xiao Bai couldn't help but feel that this world was truly amazing.

"What's your name?" Little White asked the submarine.

"Name?" The submarine girl looked at Xiaobai blankly.

"It's a title that you can use to prove who you are in your heart," Xiaobai asked the submarine with a smile. "Now that we've met, we should think about what to call you from now on, right? Everyone has a name, whether it's a ship girl or the abyssal dean."

"..."

The little girl in the submarine frowned and looked confused as she looked at Xiaobai's smile.

The submarine girl looked down at her slightly bulging chest and thought for a while.

Suddenly.

Xiao Bai saw the soft, marine creature wriggling inside her transparent helmet.

After wriggling a few times, the little submarine girl seemed to have been inspired by something, and looked up at Little White, her purple eyes sparkling.

Suddenly, it seemed as if she had become much more proficient in human language.

“Henry,” the little girl on the submarine spoke, timidly addressing Little White, “…about…”

Chapter 3628 Xiaobai's Showdown

Whether they are ship girls or deep-sea deans, they are born knowing their ship names.

Without exception.

Just as both ship girls and deep-sea deans are born from the legends of ships, they are bound to the corresponding legends, and their souls naturally contain names. Even the submarine girl who seemed completely unaware of whether she had a name before Xiaobai asked her question, after closing her eyes and thinking for a while, she vaguely felt her name from a mysterious deep-sea vortex and said it out loud.

—Of course, the way she said her name didn't seem very confident.

Xiao Bai looked at the submarine girl in front of him, lost in thought.

"Oh... Henry... so his name is Henry." Xiaobai murmured, her gaze lingering on the submarine girl's black and purple latex suit.
