The Naval Base of the Unnamed Ship Girls

If they were to meet and start tearing each other apart elsewhere, it would be Xiao Bei who gets smashed to pieces, not Prinz Eugen.

As a temporary naval base of No. 666, and a ship girl whose combat power is only higher than that of Kogan, Xiaobei's situation is truly miserable.

Especially since even though Kokang's fighting strength is not as good as Xiaobei's, Xiaobei's limited edition Heini Multimedia Portable TV, which he had saved up for many months' salary to buy, was taken away by Kokang in one shot.

"I see, that makes sense." Hearing Wo-chan and Xiao Bei's answers, Ya Dun couldn't help but wonder how the Abyssal Fleet came to be. Based on the information that South Dakota and Xiao Bei inadvertently revealed in their words, it seemed that apart from the sinking of ship girls, most of the Abyssal Fleet ship girls were born through another method.

"Hey, Adun, are you going to build it or not? If you're not going to, I'm going to start." Tidu saw that Adun hadn't made a move for a long time, so he rolled up his sleeves, walked to the construction device, and typed in a line of numbers.

"Wow, 4000/6000/6000/4000! They're really rich!" Qianwei exclaimed loudly, looking at the numbers on the panel.

"Big sister, are you really going to build a huge ship? Didn't they say that it's not recommended to build large ships before the admiral's naval base is at level ten? Otherwise, there's a high chance of failure." Charlotte said, seeing her big sister's actions.

"What are you afraid of! I'm pure European blood! Watch me unleash a Yamato!! A 460-degree super long punch is beckoning to me!" Tidu ignored her little brother's words and slapped the button that was about to be built.

The construction device, already loaded with materials, hummed and shook a few times after Tidu pressed the construction button, then emitted a puff of steam before falling silent again.

"..."

"..."

"Where's my ship? Where's my Yamato? Where's my Iowa? Where's my Enterprise?" The admiral, who was about to kick it, was pulled back by Charlotte, who was quick-witted and agile. It was an old machine, but it couldn't withstand the boss's savage charge.

"It failed."

"It actually failed."

"Is this what it looks like when all your luck has run out?"

"I witnessed the fall of Europeans and the birth of Africans."

"Hey you guys!!!" Seeing the surrounding ship girls kicking her while she was down, Tidu almost vomited blood and died.

☆, Chapter 135 Could it be broken?

"My turn? I didn't say I wanted to build it." Charlotte, who had been dragged to the building machine by Tidu, quickly waved her hand and said.

"What admiral doesn't build things?" Seeing that Tidu was very concerned about her failed construction, she was less concerned about Charlotte testing her bloodline and more concerned about finding someone with a similar outcome.

“But I’m just a trainee admiral, I’m not allowed to use the construction device,” Charlotte said hesitantly.

"Trainee admirals can't use the construction tool? Who are you kidding? What's Omega Yuriko again?" Tidu said, pointing to the Sun Empire war fortress ship girl who had a relatively low profile among the group of ship girls.

"It was built secretly in my dad's name, and I even got a beating for it," Charlotte said somewhat embarrassedly.

"That's why I absolutely hate the second generation. They have no real ability and poor grades, yet they get to enjoy the benefits of being an admiral ahead of time," Tidu said, indicating that she had known this would happen all along.

This rather impolite behavior once again aroused the dissatisfaction of the ship girls in Naval Base 233, led by Veneto.

Anyway, the young master will become the admiral of Naval Base No. 233 one day, so what's wrong with summoning ship girls a little earlier?

Unfortunately, no ship girl could voice such a rebuttal; sometimes, the head maid's reputation was more intimidating than the young master's.

"Actually, my grades weren't too bad." Although Charlotte's grades were far from those of a top student like Tidu, she was at least not one of those bottom-tier students who needed to stay in school for two or three years to continue their studies. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to become a trainee admiral after graduation.

Although it's obvious to anyone with eyes that Charlotte's father played a huge role in securing her position as an apprentice admiral.

"Oh...you want to compete with me in grades, is that it?" Tidu's eyes revealed a look of sympathy for a weak enemy.

Charlotte immediately admitted defeat, moved closer to the somewhat old-fashioned building tool, placed her hand on the resource input button, and asked, "How many resources do I need to build?"

"Of course it's up to you. Large-scale construction or any other kind of construction, you just need to choose a formula that is absolutely impossible to succeed with." Halfway through her sentence, Tiffany remembered that she hadn't let Charlotte use the builder just to get sunburned.

To ensure that someone shares her plight, Tidu decides to drastically reduce the likelihood of Charlotte summoning ship girls through underhanded tactics.

"How can this be..." Charlotte, who roughly understood what Sister Tidu meant, said speechlessly, "Never mind, anyway, with my current admiral level, the chance of summoning a ship girl is still quite low."

The only unexpected event was the birth of Omega Yuriko. It was just an ordinary, clandestine construction, but it actually summoned a ship girl.

Upon learning of this, the battleship fanatic admiral not only gave his son a severe beating, but also prepared a homemade medal for Charlotte in advance, saying that he would personally award it to Charlotte once she took over Naval Base No. 233 from him.

Then, under Tidu's gaze, Charlotte pressed the numbers 251/155/501/401 on the resource input table.

"What a strange formula! Does this formula have any special meaning?" Tidu asked curiously, glancing at the resource formula Charlotte had entered.

"Could it be a formula for changing one's fate, summarized by an African chieftain who smuggled himself to Europe on his deathbed?"

"I just pressed it randomly. If you're not satisfied, I'll change it immediately." Afraid of being misunderstood, Charlotte quickly removed the number 1 after the two important materials, steel and aluminum.

"Hmm, it's a very simple formula for building an aircraft carrier, but the problem is, Charlotte, you're only a level 0 admiral right now. Can you really build an aircraft carrier?" Tidu knew that some types of ship girls could only be summoned after the admiral level reached a certain point.

No one has been able to give a suitable explanation for this approximate law so far. The only plausible explanation is that the higher the admiral's rank, the more attractive he is to those high-rarity ship girls.

Unfortunately, none of the ship girls knew where they were before being summoned by the construction machine, nor did they know whether their summoning was a voluntary choice or an involuntary one.

"Didn't you ask me to create a formula that absolutely cannot summon ship girls?" Charlotte said innocently.

"Oh right, that's true. Let's build it then. Do you need me to provide a quick construction tool?" Despite saying this, Tidu did not make any move to take out the quick construction materials.

"No need, I brought the quick-build tool." Charlotte knew that Big Sister Tidu would never bleed money at this time, so she immediately took a quick-build tool from her reputation and said.

"Why do you bring a quick construction tool when you go out?" Tiffany was taken aback, not expecting Charlotte to actually be prepared.

"Just in case, just in case, I only brought one, this is all I have." Charlotte quickly lied when she saw Tidu's eyes light up.

"Tch, I'm not going to ask you for anything, why are you so nervous?" Tidu said, mindful of the many ship girls present and not wanting to lose face, after her little scheme was exposed.

Unfortunately, no ship girls believed it. The ship girls present weren't blind; their bright eyes could be used as fluorescent lights.

After Charlotte pressed the build button, the old construction device first rattled and swayed, just like when Tidu had used it, then emitted a burst of hot steam before suddenly emitting a piercing whistle.

Huh? Could it be a one-shot kill? This is impossible!! Seeing the old construction device's reaction, Tidu, who was covering his ears, changed his expression again and again, and even glared fiercely at his underling Sherlock, who was about to embarrass him.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as Tidu had hoped. After the piercing whistle, the builder trembled a few times and then returned to calm.

Just like before, no countdown timer appeared.

"Hahaha, even I'm impressed! Charlotte, you actually wanted to sneak in?" Tidu was overjoyed.

"...Sis, is this what a normal builder looks like?" Rodney secretly tugged at Nelson's clothes and asked.

"Well, it's probably because the model is too old, or maybe the repairman made a mistake during maintenance," Nelson said, looking at the few relatively new patches on the old construction device.

Upon hearing Nelson's words, Veneto, who was making coffee, turned around and glanced at Nelson behind her with a resentful look. It seemed that Nelson's words had won the approval of most of the ship girls, causing the ship girls in the room to think that the reason why the young master had not summoned the ship girls was Veneto's fault.

Heaven and earth bear witness! I, Veneto, am at least an eighth-level fitter. I risked my life to get this old relic working again! How can you ship crew members be so ungrateful and turn your backs on me after you've served your purpose?

Chapter 136 The Operation Method of the Constructor

"It's your turn, Adun. It's okay if you can't summon any ship girls, I won't blame you for wasting resources." With Charlotte by his side, Tidu, who was currently playing as an "African Admiral," patted Adun's shoulder on tiptoe and said cheerfully.

Despite not being tall enough, Tidu really liked to pat Aden on the shoulder. This was probably because he couldn't pat Aden's head like he usually did with Kokang, so he could only settle for patting the shoulder.

"What if it's summoned?" Adon asked, glancing at his own Tidu with a subtle look.

Through the live demonstration by Admirals Tidu and Charlotte, Ayton has gained some understanding of how the builder works.

The way the Admiral's ship girl construction tool works is less about building a ship girl using a fixed formula of materials, and more about attracting some soul power into it through a strange method.

Like the Soul Gathering Coffin, but what Adun can guarantee is that those soul powers are not the souls of ship girls, at least not complete ship girl souls. To put it more bluntly, those soul powers don't even qualify as complete souls; they can only be described as soul power.

It seems that all the resources invested by Tidu and Charlotte were used to welcome and gather those soul powers.

Tidu has invested a lot of resources, and from the words of the ship girls on site, it seems to be a summoning method similar to the construction of large ships.

But Adon, who could see more, could clearly sense that compared to Charlotte's summoning, Tidu's summoning was a 100% failure, not even causing a ripple of soul power.

Those resources, each worth four figures, only caused the builder to react like someone who's had a big meal and is burping.

Charlotte's summoning was clearly just one step away from success. Amidst the piercing whistle, a large amount of soul power seemed to be guided, drilling into the construction device from all directions and producing various inexplicable reactions with the materials that were being consumed.

Unfortunately, Charlotte seemed to be missing one of the materials she had invested. Just a little bit away from completing the fusion, the soul power, unable to continue, dissipated completely at the same speed as when it arrived.

If Charlotte had invested more resources, she might have been able to successfully summon a new ship girl.

If it weren't for Tidu's constant interference, Charlotte's success rate would have been more than 100% if she had chosen to invest the resources needed to build the large ship.

However, Adun is not sure if the ship girls were really summoned in this way, because Charlotte's summoning ultimately failed. Perhaps the appearance of the ship girls was due to some other crucial factors besides the gathering of soul power and sufficient resources.

For example, there are very mysterious things involved, such as the so-called admiral's bloodline, luck, and character.

As for why Adun wasn't so sure, it was because Adun felt that summoning ship girls was a bit too frivolous.

Based on the observations, if a Protoss ship girl like Adun, who has a deep understanding of souls, were given some time to study this kind of construction device, she might be able to create a replica with a Protoss style.

But could his homemade construction tool really summon ship girls in this world? Adun had no idea.

Even now, Adun remains very concerned about that power of the world that he can't feel no matter how hard he tries, yet is absolutely omnipresent.

"Adon, what are you daydreaming about? Do you want to try some kind of ritual to absorb my and Charlotte's luck, like those African admirals do?" Seeing Adon standing silently next to the construction device, he couldn't wait any longer and asked.

"Your luck..." Adon glanced at his admiral, indicating that he had no interest in Tidu's luck whatsoever.

"Hey, take this!" Most admirals, when being looked at with the same pitying eyes others give to someone like Adun who's considered an African, would pull out their ancestral spears, dip them in their ancestral poison, lick them, and shout "Fight for the Horde!"

Tidu was the same, especially since it was her own ship girl, Adun, who was showing such an expression. Unable to contain her anger, Tidu immediately pulled out her boss-specific spear, PG, from her ship equipment space, intending to slap Adun in the face with a mosaic.

"Whoosh..." Despite Charlotte's obstruction, Tidu still pulled the trigger. Ardon expressionlessly stepped to the side, and the PG, which was not loaded with any explosives and only sprayed black ash, broke through the window and flew out along the S-curve.

"Ah, the windows need fixing again." Seeing her masterpiece, Tidu immediately transformed from a tribal warrior into a disheartened woman.

Anyway, there's still the floor to be repaired. Is it really necessary to turn your whole body gray like this? Admiral glanced at the window that PG had opened, then at the fish-shaped floor that the Nautilus had smashed into, and asked, "How much resources did you use to summon me, Admiral?"

One sentence drew the attention of all the ship girls and admirals in the room.

As we all know, the power of the first generation of ship girls is closely related to the amount of resources used to summon them. Too many resources may allow an unlucky admiral to summon a powerful ship girl, but too few resources will definitely prevent you from summoning a powerful ship girl.

Well...excluding those with exceptionally high luck, like admirals who can produce large ships with the most basic resources, not counting rare ships.

Judging from Tidu's failed attempt at a large-scale construction, even if the admiral of the No. 666 temporary garrison isn't from the Black Africa region, he's certainly not at the level of a European. At least for a European, the word "failure" doesn't exist in their construction dictionary.

How many resources did this admiral use to create a ship girl as powerful as Adun?

Judging from the fact that he didn't even blink when he threw 4000/6000/6000/4000 large ship construction materials into the construction device, could it be that when Tidu summoned Adun, he used the legendary 49 formula?

In other words, only novice admirals who know nothing and veterans with so many resources that they can burn through them for fun will use the 9999/9999/9999/9999 formula.

It claims to be able to summon any ship girl, but summoning any ship girl is actually the least likely and most foolish formula.

“That…it seems…I…it seems…” Ti really wanted to say that she had forgotten.

"Kogan knows, Kogan knows, the Admiral used the 3333 formula to summon Sister Adon." Unfortunately, Kogan didn't give her Admiral any face, or rather, she had no idea what Ti was struggling with.
