Tu Tu Tu

"ID: I Love Juice player initiating communication request."

The electronic voice prompted.

Wang Dong let out a long breath, calming his recent excitement, and accepted the communication.

"Big bro, wanna team up to grind the battlefield? ~"

A sweet, tender female voice rang out.

"I'll cling to your leg, I'll shout 'six six six' too~"

"Sorry, I'm short on time."

Wang Dong decisively refused and then cut off the communication.

He had absolutely no interest.

"Good luck, the timing for the Leaping Fish Topping was just right. It seems my Warship control skill has improved significantly."

Wang Dong silently praised himself.

The "Leaping Fish Topping" tactical maneuver was not easy. The window for two ships to cross paths was extremely brief, and with both speeds constantly changing, it was incredibly difficult to accurately judge the timing for the main cannon's charge.

It indeed required a certain amount of luck.

Once the main cannon was charged, it fired immediately. At least, that was the case for the destroyers' main cannons, which placed very high demands on the Captain's judgment.

If the charge was too early, by the time it finished and the main cannon had to fire, the ships wouldn't be at the crossing point. The enemy warship wouldn't have moved into your main cannon's firing arc, and you wouldn't be able to hit it.

If the charge was too late, the crossing point would have already passed, and you'd only be firing into empty space.

Furthermore, "I Love Juice"'s warship also had Level 2 armor.

If Wang Dong hadn't managed to hit the critical engine part just now, even if he had been slightly off, with the impact landing on the armor at the rear of "I Love Juice"'s warship, it would have only resulted in minor damage at most.

By the time "I Love Juice" recovered and realized Wang Dong's main cannon was only Level 1, all it would have to do was reduce its ship speed and drag the battle into endless artillery duels. Wang Dong's defeat would have been predictable.

Wang Dong then continued to queue for matches and played three more games consecutively.

All wins.

Dominating noobs is fun for a while, and it's always fun to dominate noobs.

Not really.

Constantly dominating noobs gets boring.

Initially, there was still some interest.

But after a few rounds, that nostalgic interest gradually faded.

After all, he wasn't the green youth he once was. For Wang Dong, the Star Sea Expedition no longer held much appeal.

"Exit Star Sea Expedition."

After confirming the command, Wang Dong's perspective exited the warship. The warship gradually moved away, eventually shrinking into a small icon fixed at the top of the sky.

Just as Wang Dong was about to check other applications, a message notification suddenly popped up.

"Your friend, ID: Tu Tu Tu, has come online."

This was a game notification from Star Sea Expedition.

Warm memories flooded his mind.

Wang Dong had played Star Sea Expedition for over three years. He didn't have many game friends, but he had a few dozen.

"Tu Tu Tu" was the one he got along with best.

Because, like Wang Dong, she had chosen to stick with a beginner's un-upgraded ship.

Before his rebirth, after Wang Dong acquired the War Axe, he had been constantly on the move and no longer had the leisure time to play games. Star Sea Expedition had long been forgotten.

His game friends had naturally lost contact.

He sometimes thought back to it and felt a sense of regret.

Upon seeing the notification, Wang Dong didn't hesitate and re-entered Star Sea Expedition.

As soon as he logged in, before Wang Dong could even sit in the Captain's seat of his Scout-class Destroyer, a friend message arrived.

"Little Dongzi, you're here too? Perfect timing! Come quickly and spar a few rounds with your big sis. I learned a new tactical maneuver today, and I want to try it out on you."

A sweet and charming young girl's voice rang out.

It was a message from "Tu Tu Tu."

Wang Dong shook his head and gave a wry smile, instinctively replying, "Little Rabbit, stop acting like you're older. I've told you before, I'm two months older than you. You should call me Brother Dong, understand?"

"Hee hee hee~ You, Little Dongzi, want to be a big brother? Beat me first, then we'll talk. Wanna bet I let you have a directional adjustment engine?"

Through her bell-like laughter, the girl's mischievous and lively image seemed to appear before his eyes.

They were standard game friends, and their interaction was limited to the game Star Sea Expedition. They had no other contact.

Based on the ages they had reported to each other, Wang Dong and "Tu Tu Tu" were born in the same year, with Wang Dong being two months and six days older.

However, due to the significant difference in their gaming skill, "Tu Tu Tu" stubbornly refused to acknowledge him as older and often referred to herself as "big sis."

"Tu Tu Tu's" warship control skill and strategic vision were very high.

At least among the opponents Wang Dong had encountered in the three years he spent in the "Star Sea Expedition," there were almost none stronger than her.

Even by Wang Dong's current standards, she was not simple at all.

"Tu Tu Tu" claimed to be a student at the Purple Thorn Kingdom's Royal Sky Patrol Higher Education Academy.

Given the warship control skill and strategic vision she displayed, Wang Dong believed her.

Back when Wang Dong first entered the game "Star Sea Expedition," he had been constantly practicing his warship control skill from scratch.

Since he had no prior knowledge in this area, Wang Dong basically practiced blindly for the first two years, relying on his instincts.

To be honest, the results were mediocre.

His win rate in the game was also quite low, and because he insisted on using a basic ship, it didn't even reach fifteen percent.

It wasn't until two years later that Wang Dong coincidentally met "Tu Tu Tu" in the battle mode of "Star Sea Expedition."

In a hundred-player team battle, Wang Dong and "Tu Tu Tu" were on the same side.
