Elder brother's garrison

and so……

What does it feel like to make a renovation?

Alaska had seen ship girls undergoing modifications, and of course they had inquired about them.

The ship girls say that the opportunity for modification is a mysterious state. When a ship girl is about to be modified, her body will feel an overflowing sensation, just like a flower bud that has accumulated over many years and finally cannot help but bloom after being watered by dew.

The description is too abstract for people in Alaska and Guam to understand.

But Alaska and Guam are visible.

As the ship girls gazed at Alaska and Guam, their eyes shone with a light that was uniquely their own.

ten years……

Ten years is really too far away.

The naval base has undergone many changes, and families have come and gone. The concert was interrupted as a result. The naval base has experienced periods of decline and resurgence.

Alaska and Guam have long since given up on any plans for redevelopment.

They still maintain their daily training, but now it's just a habit they've kept for over ten years.

As for the legendary modification... perhaps the opportunity for modification depends on the ship girl's talent. Ship girls with mediocre talent will never get this opportunity in their lifetime.

As mentioned at the beginning, life in Alaska and Guam is quite leisurely. They have now become part of the newbie naval base. Occasionally, they can meet and chat with the admiral during a few small missions. During their other vacations, they can pursue their hobbies and hold concerts. It's pretty good to live like this. This life is definitely more comfortable than most people in human society, and it is enough to make the ship girls outside the naval base envious.

Alaska and Guam accepted reality.

Alaska and Guam even began to feel secretly fortunate and grateful. With their ordinary ship girl talents and ordinary ship girl equipment, if they hadn't been in the newbie naval base, but in other naval bases with difficult conditions, they would probably have spent their lives in a mediocre and busy way. Not to mention top-notch equipment, max level training, and opportunities for modification, they probably wouldn't even have had the chance to pursue their hobbies and play music.

But... perhaps fate is designed to play tricks on people and ships.

Alaska and Guam never expected that, just when they had fully accepted reality and willingly become marginal ship girls of the naval base, the "remodeling opportunity" that they had been striving for for ten years without success would be brought to them so abruptly by a destroyer they had never met before.

……

In the lounge.

Alaska and Guam sat in their respective seats, looking at their palms and feeling the overflowing sensation within their bodies, as if the sea was about to burst open. Their expressions were complicated.

After being imbued with the "Power of Change," it wasn't just one person who was instantly transformed by this power; it was two people from Alaska and Guam!

The two looked up at each other.

In mid-air, Alaska and Guam narrowed their eyes slightly. In their pair of clear blue and pink eyes, like gemstones, the blue and pink light emanated from the depths of their eyes, like the faint beam of a flashlight.

"It's so hot...it feels like my body is being filled up..." Guam whispered.

"So this is the opportunity for modification..." Alaska clutched her chest, tilting her head slightly with a complicated expression. "This strange feeling, like water about to overflow from a glass, it seems those ship girl sisters really weren't lying..."

"Alaska, Guam, you two don't seem very happy?" Xiaobai asked curiously, observing the two ship girls' reactions. "The opportunity to upgrade them is very rare, you know. Aren't you going to act a little happier?"

As soon as Xiaobai said this, the two people from Alaska and Guam exchanged a glance, both seeing a bitter smile and helplessness deep in each other's eyes.

“Admiral, things have come to this point, we’ve long since let it go…” Alaska put down his hand and said to Little White, “We have indeed waited a long time for the opportunity to modify ourselves. If it had been five or six years earlier, we might have been happily hugging each other.”

"now what?"

"Right now... it's a bit of a joke, but let's just be happy." Alaska smiled at Little White, her gaze turning to Jinan beside her, her eyes exceptionally sincere. "That's amazing, there's actually an ability in this world that can directly put a ship girl into a modified state... Little sister, your name is Jinan, right?"

"Hehe." Jinan smiled and put his hands on his hips.

"Were you tired after that?" Guam reached out and patted Jinan's hand, asking her with concern.

"Not tired at all, not tired at all!" Jinan said with a smile.

Chapter 3778 The Modification Technician is Ready

After Jinan put Alaska and Guam into a state of transformation, she herself was not out of breath and showed no signs of fatigue at all.

"My transformative power is ultimately just triggering a mechanism; it doesn't actually consume much energy," Jinan said with a smile to Alaska and Guam. "In the end, I'm just looking for people with missile talent, not directly bestowing that talent upon certain individuals. Just as transformation only occurs on fertile ground with a rich history and foundation, my transformative power isn't about granting you strength, but rather about allowing your years of hard work and hidden talents to be properly unearthed and successfully blossom. Of course, it doesn't require much effort from me!"

"Huh? You mean... the missile talent is our own?" Guam asked, somewhat surprised.

"Of course."

"That's unlikely... We've never performed well at the naval base, and we've always been ranked very low in training programs," Guam said regretfully.

“That only means…” Jinan blinked, and as she began to speak, she suddenly paused, then went to Xiaobai’s side and asked in a low voice, “Admiral… what kind of ship equipment do these two ladies have?”

"Battlecruiser," Xiaobai whispered in Jinan's ear.

"Oh! That only proves that Alaska and Guam have absolutely no talent in the field of battlecruisers!" Jinan smiled and held up a finger to the two ship girls. "It just means you were born with the wrong ship equipment, but it doesn't mean you don't have the talent for missile ship equipment."

“There’s another saying…” Alaska looked at Jinan and chuckled.

“Jinan is right. Your ability to upgrade missiles is the result of your years of hard work and experience, not something suddenly bestowed upon you by someone.” Xiaobai patted Jinan on the shoulder and smiled at Alaska and Guam. “I’ve seen your training. Even if the results weren’t ideal, you’ve never slacked off in the past ten years. You’ve always kept your ship equipment in a state ready for upgrades, which is closely related to today’s results.”

“Settling down…” Alaska seemed to realize something. She looked up at the ceiling, reached out and touched the guitar beside her, and murmured softly, “So… all these past ten years haven’t been a waste of time after all…”

"I'm much happier if you say that, Admiral." Guam placed one hand on his chest and gave Xiaobai and Jinan a quiet smile. "Thank you, Admiral. Thank you, Jinan."

"Hmm... How are you doing now? How do you feel? Should we arrange the missile shipboard modification process for you right away?" Xiaobai asked Alaska and Guam with a smile. "If you have other schedules later and can't free up time, the modification deadline can be postponed."

"Change it! Change it right away!"

As soon as Xiaobai uttered those words, Alaska immediately snapped back to reality and said to Xiaobai very seriously.

“It’s been over ten years, and we finally have this opportunity for a makeover. What if we drag this out and lose this hard-won opportunity?” Alaska immediately stood up, put one foot on the table, patted her ample chest, and said earnestly, “Although there are still forty-two small concerts to rehearse in Guam, hobbies are hobbies, and work is work! The makeover is the most important thing!”

"Alaska is really in a hurry," Guam said with a smile.

"Guam, don't you want to renovate it?" Alaska immediately turned to look at Guam.

“Yes, I also want to modify it.” Guam nodded with a smile, and said earnestly to Little White, “Admiral, please let me and Alaska modify it now.”

"Okay, I'll help you contact a professional right away." Xiaobai nodded with a smile.

Little White led Alaska and Guam away from the music event station, and the group arrived at the canteen of the naval base.

Xiao Bai took out his phone and sent a message, then smiled and put the phone into his clothes, looking at the open space in front of the cafeteria with a broad smile.

Alaska and Guam stood behind Xiaobai, looking curiously at both sides of the road.

"Admiral, what brings us here?"

"Are we going to eat? I've already eaten with Guam."

Faced with the questions from the two ship girls, Xiaobai smiled mysteriously but did not reply.

Along this route, the figures of ship girls occasionally appeared.

When the passing ship girls spotted Shiro, they all greeted her warmly.

However, when they saw Alaska, Guam, and Little White standing side by side, the ship girls immediately showed expressions of surprise.

"Admiral? Good afternoon, Admiral! Hey! Isn't this Alaska and Guam!"

"The Admiral is back from Chapter 8!"

"What a rare combination!"

"Are Alaska and Guam going on a mission with the Admiral today?!"

"Alaska...wait! No! Your eyes...wow!"

Soon, the passing ship girls noticed the unusual things about Alaska and Guam. They stopped in surprise and looked at Alaska and Guam's bright eyes.

"You're going to do renovations!?"

Congratulations! Alaska, Guam! Congratulations to you all!

The ship girls, as if witnessing the fulfillment of a long-cherished wish, clapped and happily congratulated Alaska and Guam.

Alaska and Guam waved to the surrounding ship girls in gratitude.

The ship girls came and went, gradually appearing in an endless stream.

While greeting the ship girls around her, Alaska approached Shiro and asked a question.

"Admiral... you didn't bring us here just to tell the entire naval base about our modifications, did you...?"

"Haha, isn't it good?" Xiaobai asked with a laugh.

"There's no need to specifically mention this kind of thing..." Alaska was a little unsure of what to say for a moment. She spoke to Little White, her pink eyebrows furrowing slightly into a V-shape, "It's a little embarrassing..."

"Oh? So you get stage fright too? You seemed really bold at the concert before."

“Performing is performing, and reforming is reforming…” Alaska explained dryly.

Xiaobai smiled when she heard this, then shook her head.

"Okay... to be honest, the reason I brought you two here is to pick up an expert."

"Experts?" Alaska and Guam looked at Xiaobai.

"Yeah... an expert in modifying missile ship equipment..." Xiao Bai murmured softly, his gaze falling on the open space in front of the cafeteria as if he had a premonition of something.

The moment Xiaobai's gaze landed, a black deep-sea vortex suddenly appeared out of thin air on the paving stones of the open space in front of the cafeteria.

A powerful aura from the deep sea spread in all directions in an instant.

The surrounding ship girls seemed oblivious, continuing with their own activities. No one paid them much attention.

As the deep-sea whirlpool spun, two figures slowly emerged.

As the giant emerged from the deep-sea vortex, she was followed by a slender ship girl wearing a white lab coat, her hands in her pockets, with long, pinkish-red hair.

"hello--!!!"

As soon as the white-coated ship girl jumped out of the deep-sea whirlpool, she couldn't wait to wave her arms vigorously at Xiaobai, Jinan, Alaska, and Guam. She excitedly took off her glasses, revealing a pair of light purple eyes that stared at everyone present with joy. Then she quickly took off her legs and ran towards Xiaobai.

"Admiral! Hi hi! I'm here again!!!" Yubari dashed up to Shiro in a flash. Excitedly, she first grabbed Shiro's wrist and shook it up and down, then looked at Alaska and Guam beside Shiro. "I got your message! You said there are more ship girls at the naval base going to have their missiles upgraded, right? Great! Great! Great! My missile research needs the latest materials! Let me see who it is—oh my! Isn't this Alaska and Guam! Rare guests!"

"Yubari?!" Alaska and Guam stared blankly at Yubari.

However, while the two were still stunned, Yubari quickly arrived at their side, then smiled and gently touched their lower backs.

Alaska and Guam instinctively shuddered and screamed "Ouch!" before their ship equipment appeared out of thin air and landed on the ground behind them.

"Huh? Ship equipment... how did ship equipment come about?"

"Yubari, what did you just do to us?"

Guam and Alaska looked at Yubari in surprise.

"I've modified more ship girls than you've ever eaten!" Yubari said, pulling gloves from her clothes and putting them on. "I know all too well what the characteristics of a ship girl in the preparation stage of modification are! That overflowing state can trigger the ship's equipment's self-protection mechanism with just a sneaky touch, and it just bursts out of her body... Come on, this is the ship equipment of a ship girl in the missile preparation modification stage, right? Let me see how it differs from normal ship equipment!"

As Yubari spoke, he climbed directly onto the ship rigging of Alaska and Guam, his gloved hands constantly caressing and exploring the two ship riggings.

Every now and then, Yubari would exclaim in surprise, "Oh, oh, oh," "No wonder," "Interesting," "I see."

Yubari's actions immediately gave Alaska and Guam goosebumps, and they quickly hugged their arms, making a series of "ee-ee-ee" sounds.

"Yubari, how's the checkup going?" Shiro asked from the side.

"Hmm! I took a quick look, and the ship's equipment is indeed ready for modification. However, this is the first time I've seen missile modifications on a battlecruiser. It might take some time to design the modification plan." Yubari gave Shiro a thumbs up. "Hehe, Admiral, then I'll take care of the modifications on Alaska and Guam!"

"I called you here for this very reason. Even if you hadn't said anything, I would have asked you anyway." Xiaobai nodded with a smile. "After all, you have the most extensive experience in missile shipboard modification in the whole world right now."

Chapter 3779 The Hottest Modification

Kyoto.

Ship Equipment Research Center.

Today the sun is shining brightly and the sky is clear.

The environment at the ship equipment research center was as quiet and peaceful as ever.

Having just finished their physical examinations, the ship girls, each holding their respective modification numbers and blueprints, proceeded in an orderly fashion to their respective modification workshops.

Inside each workshop, researchers in white coats were busy at work, holding stacks of complex and precise modification plans and operating instruments that flashed green lights, conducting final checks and reviews before the modifications.

No one spoke in the workshop; only the hum of the machinery and the crisp sound of fingers tapping on keyboards echoed in the air.

As soon as the ship girls arrived at the workshop, they were led to their respective modification workshops by the staff.

Retrofitting is a life-long event for ship girls. Generally speaking, each ship girl only has one chance to retrofit. Therefore, every ship girl waiting for retrofitting is a newcomer. Looking at the cold and serious environment in front of them, which operates like a machine, and at the depths of the retrofitting workshop where the clanging sounds come from time to time, they couldn't help but show a strong sense of tension when they thought about the retrofitting that would change their ship life. They swallowed hard.

"Please don't worry, dear ship girls. Our Kyoto Ship Equipment Research Center is the world's most professional ship girl ship equipment modification center. We not only have complete and safe modification equipment and systems, but also the best modification designers and technicians. We sincerely design the most perfect modification plan for every ship girl who comes here, putting the ship girl first and striving to bring the best modification experience to every ship girl."

The staff responsible for receiving the ship girls seemed to have completely gotten used to the reactions of the modified ship girls. They smiled and put their hands together to comfort the modified ship girls.

"In the following modification process, to reassure all the ship girls, we promise that during your formal modification, the ship girls you will be in contact with from beginning to end will be highly skilled and experienced female staff. Our ship equipment research center adopts a one-on-one refined modification style. The modification plan is provided by various teams in the modification center, and the modification will be 100% implemented on an individual basis."

"Please rest assured, ladies, our modifications have received zero negative reviews so far."
