Elder brother's garrison

"Lianlian, what is this?" Xiaobai looked at Luo Lian and asked curiously.

"It's a post from the data expert." Luo Lian put away her phone and asked Xiao Bai, "Is all the information he wrote accurate?"

"Uh... I can't tell anything about the shelling power or its resilience..."

"Are the actions of the Deep Sea Deans similar to what's written above?" Luo Lian pointed to the small section in the post describing low combat ability, slow reaction, and combat awareness leaning towards turn-based blood-swapping, and asked Xiao Bai.

"Hmm..." Xiaobai recalled for a moment, and what was written in this post was similar to what Shenhai Yamato had told Xiaobai before, "It should be correct."

Luo Lian nodded upon hearing this.

"Lianlian, is the conclusion you just reached about the Deep Sea Dean providing combat experience for a certain target based on the data in this post?"

"Actually, this is just speculation." Luo Lian tapped her phone screen with her fingers. "Xiao Bai, the essence of this event is a deep-sea cluster limited to the Deep Sea Dean, right?"

"Yes."

"Generally speaking, the phenomenon of deep-sea clusters does indeed gradually strengthen the presence of deep-sea amphibious vessels within a certain sea area over time, right?"

“Yes.” Xiaobai nodded again, “We encountered this before in the second chapter…”

“Yes, I have encountered it.” Luo Lian smiled at Xiao Bai. “However, normally, the increased combat power of deep-sea ships caused by deep-sea clusters is essentially due to the high-level deep-sea resentment catalyzing the evolution of low-level deep-sea ships. Therefore, in this case, the increase in the strength of deep-sea ships is generally only reflected in their attack power, defense power, size and appearance.”

“But…” Luo Lian frowned slightly as she said this, “If the data in this post is correct, since the start of the event, the Deep Sea Deans’ attack power, defense power, appearance and size have not changed much. On the contrary, their offensive desire, reaction speed, tactical configuration, target acquisition ability and attack range have become more and more threatening.”

"...Does all of this count as combat experience?" Xiaobai asked.

“Yes, it’s all combat experience.” Luo Lian pointed behind her. “Although some comments do indicate that the top of the Deep Sea Ship evolution tree is the Deep Sea Dean, the Deep Sea Ships that have reached the Deep Sea Dean level in this event cannot evolve any further. So their basic attributes will remain unchanged, and it’s not a big problem that only their combat experience will increase.”

"That's quite a subtle explanation," Xiaobai nodded.

"Hmm. I don't agree with that statement." Luo Lian pointed her finger at Xiao Bai. "Because accumulating experience is a process of practice, and failure is inevitable. For Dean Shenhai, failure means being sunk in battle against the ship girls. Since they've all been sunk, their combat experience can't continue to grow. And there's another point."

"..." Xiao Bai was stunned by Luo Lian's words, waiting for Luo Lian's next sentence.

"The deep-sea resentment in Chapter Six doesn't seem to have gotten any stronger these past few days, does it?" Luo Lian lowered her hand. "So, I think that although this limited-time event has generated a large number of deep-sea deans, which is very similar in form to the advanced deep-sea cluster phenomenon, in essence, it should not be a deep-sea cluster phenomenon caused by the excessive intensity of deep-sea resentment."

Xiao Bai stared wide-eyed at Luo Lian's calm gaze, quite surprised.

The numerous Deep-Sea Deans in this event, just as Luo Lian said, were not the product of excessive deep-sea resentment, but rather the result of a mysterious construction device working day and night on the seabed until it was exhausted.

Xiaobai knew about this because, with the help of the Deep Sea Will, she arrived at that mysterious sea area and saw the construction device on the seabed, witnessing the result of hundreds of Deep Sea Deans floating up from the construction device.

However, Luo Lian only looked at the posts on the Admiral's Forum and learned a little about the situation in the sea, and then came to the conclusion that Xiao Bai had been chased twice by the Deep Sea Deans before she finally found out the answer. Moreover, she seemed to have drawn more conclusions based on this information.

Yeah.

This Lianlian is really amazing.

Xiao Bai covered her mouth, looking at Luo Lian with admiration.

"...Xiao Bai, don't look at me like that." Luo Lian looked at Xiao Bai's blatant admiration, her eyes behind her glasses showing a slight shyness. She put away her phone and took a deep breath. "My conclusion was only made when you said those academy directors were like lowly soldiers. If you really think I'm amazing for coming to this conclusion, then you, who inspired me, are much more amazing than me."

Standing to the side, Er Gou, who had been silently watching Luo Lian show off, opened his mouth slightly and looked at Luo Lian with amazement.

Oops.

This Luo Lian.

They're really good at licking.

President Er Gou turned his head and glanced at Xiao Bai.

Sure enough, right after Luo Lian finished speaking, Xiao Bai immediately became embarrassed and quickly raised his hand, shaking it while laughing and saying things like "I didn't, I didn't, Lian Lian, you're the amazing one."

"So, Lianlian, you mean the reason these Deep Sea Deans become more and more powerful in combat is because they are like soldiers in a game, specifically designed to fight against the ship girls and then pass on the combat experience gained from their defeats to the most powerful person?"

Xiao Bai asked.

"Perhaps. The reason I think this way is because these Deep Sea Deans seem to lack intelligence." Luo Lian said, "If they are merely at the top of the Deep Sea Evolution Tree, their existence without self-awareness is far too abnormal. Everything has its reason for existence. If we think about it another way, although these Deep Sea Deans are quite unsuccessful as Deep Sea Deans, they are perfect as fearless, plentiful puppets and tools used to gain experience."

At this point, Luo Lian raised her eyebrows, clasped her hands together, and smiled at Xiao Bai.

"Of course, all of the above are my assumptions. Although they are based on some data, they are still somewhat result-oriented, so I cannot guarantee that my statements are correct."

"...Well, I understand."

Xiao Bai nodded, but the admiration for Luo Lian in her eyes did not diminish at all.

Although Luo Lian herself said that her statement was just a guess and had no real evidence, Xiao Bai still felt that Luo Lian's guess about the nature of this event was not the common deep-sea resentment that caused the deep-sea cluster was much more reliable than other people's opinions.

Xiao Bai is more inclined to believe Luo Lian.

—Furthermore, it is a fact that the combat experience of the Deep Sea Deans during the event is increasing.

Even if the hero unit that Luo Lian had guessed did not appear.

That at least confirms the information that the Abyssal Fleet is indeed gradually growing stronger through battles with the ship girls.

In just one week.

The ship girl defense line on the sea was breached once.

If Luo Lian's statement is correct.

The combat experience of the Deep Sea Deans will continue to grow over time.

If Xiaobai leaves this matter alone, even a few more days, the breach of the defensive line will inevitably happen a second, third, or even fourth time during the event.

In Chapter 1155, all the admirals and ship girls within the activity area were completely outmaneuvered by the Deep Sea Dean, becoming his free sparring partners for a week.

On the beach, the ship girls of the Admiral's Guild are steadily making their way into the depths of the sea.

Little White looked up at the faintly visible crimson flames on the horizon and took a deep breath.

tonight.

It seems we need to thoroughly explore the sea before heading out to find Yamato, who is deep in the ocean.

Xiao Bai murmured to himself.

As early as the second chapter, Xiaobai had already visited that mysterious sea area. At that time, there weren't so many Deep Sea Deans in the sea.

Based on what Xiaobai saw last time, the white deep-sea deans on the surface of the sea should all have been built by that mysterious underwater construction machine.

In fact, Xiao Bai was reminded by Luo Lian during their conversation just now.

Xiaobai just discovered it too.

It seems I've overlooked a problem that has always been quite obvious, yet I've ignored it.

Who exactly is it?

Which construction machine was activated?

The Night of Chapter 1156.

The moon was as bright and clear as a mirror.

The darkness gradually spread like thick ink from the sky, splashing onto the sea along with the moonlight, instantly erasing all traces of life.

Everything is quiet.

Only the sea breeze howled.

Wow.

Wow.

The waves crashed against each other, and the sea stretched out as far as the eye could see, a deep, dark expanse.

In the deep darkness.

Dots of red light.

Like a candle flame.

In an instant.

It was covered by an even brighter and more dazzling white light.

Then it vanished.

“Zizzizizizi”

The white beam of light seemed to illuminate the entire sea surface in an instant. As ice shards flew, layers of waves turned into hard ice crystals and solidified in mid-air. The snow-white beam of light cut and danced wildly among the ice shards, instantly crushing the fragile red light that flickered like a candle flame.

A beam of white light shot out, piercing through the thick fog in the sky.

The white light disappeared.

Night then returned.

A vast expanse of snow-white ice has appeared on the sea.

And beneath the ice field, rows upon rows of snow-white ship rigging, perfectly cut and shattered.

Crackling purple lightning bolts leaped across the sea surface.

A crisp sound of ice breaking echoed through the air.

Amidst the frozen waves, a tall woman clad in purple armor leaped from the crest of a wave onto the sea surface.

"Hey!"

With a splash, Abyssal Yamato landed on the sea surface, its purple high-heeled combat boots slamming heavily onto the ice field, momentarily causing the heavy cruiser to veer off course.

Upon landing on the ice field, Yamato quickly spread out his arms and swayed in mid-air several times before finding his balance. He only staggered a couple of steps and did not fall to the ground in an embarrassing manner.

After regaining his footing, Yamato Shinkai finally wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Speaking of which... this laser cannon, why is it always such a big fuss every time it's used?" Deep Sea Yamato patted the ice shards off his thigh and turned to ask the two whales behind him.

"Ugh——"

Under the watchful eyes of the deep-sea Yamato, the purple mechanical whale happily served as an icebreaker across the entire ice field, smashing through the frozen ice blocks for miles and swallowing the white ship equipment and deep-sea metal beneath the ice into its mouth.

The purple whale worked diligently while swishing its tail on the surface of the sea, looking incredibly happy.

Yamato's gaze did not linger on the purple mechanical whale, but instead shifted to a patch of still-watery sea not far away, where a white whale was leisurely floating.

The massive cluster cannon barrel inside the white whale's gaping maw is slowly retracting into the whale's mouth.

Faced with Yamato's question, the white whale arrogantly closed its mouth, submerged half its body in the water, and sprayed small fountains from the blowhole on its forehead, ignoring him.

"..." Deep Sea Yamato.

Ok.

We've actually spent a week together.

Deep Sea Yamato says he's gotten used to the style of this highly skilled and daring white baby whale, with its air of a master.

Yamato scratched his head.

at this time.

A carefree purple whale is rampaging across the ice field, enjoying boundless joy.

Yamato's gaze shifted from the two ship rigs to the other side of the ice field.

Because the Deep Sea Aura Shield Bracelet is under repair, Deep Sea Yamato has been in this area for about a week.

Whether a deep-sea dean who has been completely institutionalized by human society can regain the welcome of deep-sea species in the areas where ship girls operate is a philosophical topic worthy of deep thought.

However, during this week at Deep Sea Yamato, there wasn't much time to think about these things.

Because of this week.

Deep Sea Yamato is really having a blast making money.

Just a week ago, with the help of a group of ship girls, Abyssal Yamato successfully became a maritime lifeguard. Every day, she roams high-risk waters, helping ship girls who have been defeated by the Abyssal Commander, and in return, she receives corresponding rewards and items.

In just one week.

Yamato earned a huge profit from her work as a lifeguard, more than she could earn in one or two months at the naval base. She even got to know some ship girls who were always inexplicably unlucky and stuck in deadlocks.

For example, the blonde ship girl who helped me with my first lifeguard job. Although I still don't know her name, she has been providing me with most of my income recently.

This afternoon, that group of ship girls even brought him a big job, making him a fortune.

Standing on the ice field, Yamato Akagi stood with his hands on his hips, gazing at the starry sky filled with dark clouds, his face full of anticipation for the future.

The sea breeze blows.

The ice field gradually shattered under the rampaging of the icebreaker purple whale, and snow-white deep-sea ship equipment and glittering deep-sea metal flowed out from beneath the ice field, floating on the sea surface and reflecting a bright light under the moonlight.

Of course.
