Chapter 347: Grand Fleet Mission

As Qin Ge said, the day off he took was to let his Grand Fleet members adjust their mindsets.

For him personally, the pressure brought by the Siren Fleet was far less than the oppression he felt during that great battle when he once participated in the Sakura Empire United Fleet's campaign against the Purifiers.

Moreover, as said by Iron Blood's Scharnhorst, none of the Nine Major Factions wish for his death now; even if Qin Ge were to commit some suicidal act, they would rescue him.

Thus, Qin Ge had no worries about his safety, and everything remained as usual. However, faced with this rare rest opportunity, he set aside all his work and spent an afternoon playing with the shipgirls.

Only when the sun gradually rose the next day did he lead the shipgirls away from the Reception House and arrive in front of the school's warehouse.

At that moment in front of the school's warehouse, Li Chenming and the others had already gathered with their shipgirls, forming ranks, greeting the morning sun, looking heroic and vigorous.

"You really came early." Qin Ge walked up to everyone, smiling and saying, "Looks like everyone's here; I thought someone might back out."

Li Chenming smiled faintly, "When I became a commander, I already anticipated that such a day would come, so sooner or later we have to face it."

"Now, under the commander's leadership, we can all face this together—what is there to fear?"

"What the Vice Commander said is correct; although I'm a girl, when I took the oath my voice was no smaller than the boys'." Wang Yueqin said.

"As juniors in their second year have already become like this, how can we, as senior graduates, shrink back?" Zhang Shaocheng smiled.

Qin Ge nodded, "Then I won't say more; we're now going to Ninghai to receive the mission. Starting today, the Star Sea Grand Fleet sets sail!"

"Yes!"

The loud voice echoed throughout the warehouse area; some passing students saw this and were somewhat surprised, but at most they merely stopped in place, looking from afar, with no one coming over to approach.

After all, among them there are also well-informed people; after being in the Academy for so long, they also know that there is a Grand Fleet formed by students within the Academy, and the commander of that Grand Fleet is their tactics course instructor.

Today they have gathered here, obviously to face the already-arrived Siren Tide; facing these brave and fearless upperclassmen, their hearts hold only admiration and respect.

However, Qin Ge and company obviously didn't linger outside the warehouse for long; a crowd entered the warehouse. At this moment, Ninghai was as usual, standing rigidly at the warehouse's management desk.

"Qin Ge Commander, it seems you've come to receive the mission." The arrival of Qin Ge and company caught Ninghai's attention; Ninghai looked at the large crowd and smiled as he spoke.

Qin Ge smiled and nodded, "I suppose the Prince of Wales Dean has already told you about this, right?"

"Yes, it was already said yesterday morning." Ninghai nodded, "I originally thought you would come yesterday afternoon to take the mission, but it seems I guessed wrong."

Qin Ge chuckled, "After all, this mission isn't just for me alone; I need to give them some preparation time."

Ninghai glanced at the commanders behind Qin Ge, then nodded, "I understand; then I will now relay the current mission to you."

After Ninghai finished speaking, he took out a tablet-like device from the counter, quickly tapped a few times on it, and handed it to Qin Ge.

"These are all the current Grand Fleet missions, sent from the Maritime Affairs Bureau's terminal, and synchronized with the bureau's mission list. You can select them here, after which I will register them, and then they will sync to the Maritime Affairs Bureau." Ninghai explained after Qin Ge took the device.

Qin Ge nodded, didn't say more, and began looking at the device.

"Channel maintenance: clean up marine debris near the target port's waters to keep the channel clear; reward: 500 War Supply Certificates, 5000 units of supplies."

"Port defense: assist the port garrison Grand Fleet in wiping out the invading Siren Fleet to protect port safety; reward: 2000 War Supply Certificates, 5 Special Exchange Certificates, random T3 ship equipment parts."

"Supplies recovery: head to the target sea area to gather scattered resources; reward: 1000 War Supply Certificates, several emergency repair components."

"Supplies salvage: go to the target sea area to salvage silent resources; reward: 1000 War Supply Certificates, several oil supply boxes."

"Siren annihilation: go to the target sea area to wipe out the Siren elite fleet present there; reward: 20 Special Exchange Certificates, several immediate T3 ship equipment parts."

"Merchant ship escort: go to the target sea area to clear enemies and ensure the safety of passing merchant ships; reward: 2000 War Supply Certificates, 5 Special Exchange Certificates, emergency repair box."

"Siren cleanup: go to the target sea area, clear the Siren fleet present there; reward: 10 Special Exchange Certificates, 1000 War Supply Certificates."

"……"

Qin Ge saw these missions and rewards, and nodded. Regarding the Special Exchange Certificates and War Supply Certificates appearing therein, he had already learned of them from Guanghui's mouth.

The so-called War Supply Certificate is a point-based voucher used by the Grand Fleet; these points can be spent at the Maritime Affairs Bureau and front-line supply points to exchange for some supplies, oil, ship equipment, and other resource provisions.

As for the Special Exchange Certificate, it is a unique point system that appears during the Siren Tide or in high-difficulty missions on the front line.

Using Special Exchange Certificates, one can exchange for top-tier equipment of one's own faction or other factions, or some research materials and such—these are excellent items second only to the Red Tip Tip.

"It seems these missions are like personal ones too—there are easy ones and difficult ones." Qin Ge said.

"Naturally, it's impossible for every mission to be extremely difficult; there are always some Grand Fleets whose strength isn't strong enough, and letting them take on missions that directly clash with the Siren Fleet is undoubtedly sending them to their deaths."

"So these missions have both difficult and easy ones; Qin Ge Commander, according to your Grand Fleet's strength, I suggest you take the easy ones first, so they can get accustomed, then try taking on some more difficult missions." Ninghai advised Qin Ge.

Qin Ge nodded, "My thought is the same; therefore, the mission we will take this time is supplies recovery."

"Supplies recovery?" Ninghai nodded, taking the device Qin Ge handed over, "I'll register it right away; here I also want to remind you of one thing."

"Although supplies recovery is a very simple mission, one cannot rule out the presence of some fish that slipped through the net and residual Siren mass-produced warships, so it's still best not to let down one's guard."

Qin Ge nodded, "Thanks, Ninghai!"
