Elder brother's garrison

Little White on the chair first shrank back, then asked in confusion.

Missouri smiled, placed one hand on the armrest of Xiaobai's chair, and reached behind Xiaobai with the other hand to gently untie the knot of the red rope and the button of the blindfold.

The red rope on Xiaobai's body instantly fell apart, and Xiaobai's body subconsciously leaned forward, gently falling into Missouri's arms.

"Ah, has an hour finally passed?"

The blindfold on Xiaobai's face was also removed. Xiaobai, still half asleep, took off the blindfold and looked up at what was in front of him.

The long-awaited sunlight once again entered Xiaobai's eyes.

After an hour of being alone in the dark, Xiaobai suddenly felt a sense of exhilaration (harmony) as if she had seen the light of day again.

Little White couldn't wait to look at what was in front of it.

Then she saw Missouri, looking somewhat disheveled, smiling at her.

"Huh?? Missouri? What happened to you?"

“Yes… what happened…” Missouri looked at Little White with a wry smile, revealing a helpless expression.

"You, how come your face is covered in so much dust, and your clothes are so wet, it's like you've been dragged out and beaten up... and your breathing doesn't seem very steady..." Xiaobai hurriedly checked Missouri's condition, looking completely bewildered. "Huh? How come you smell so strongly of alcohol and ammunition at the same time..."

As Xiaobai was speaking in confusion, she looked down and noticed the New Jersey suit on her leg.

"Huh?? New Jersey is here too? When?"

Xiaobai looked up in surprise and then saw Tirpitz lying on the sofa next to him.

"Tirpitz? She, when did she..."

Xiaobai was processing the information around her in a somewhat confused state. The scene before her was quite different from the environment she had imagined, to the point that Xiaobai temporarily lost the ability to think.

In the end, it was Missouri who helped Little White calm down.

"It seems the Admiral's hour wasn't much easier than Missouri's," Missouri said with a wry smile, touching Xiaobai's cheek.

"Missouri?"

"Admiral, Missouri has a suggestion that is not yet fully formed."

"What suggestion?"

"After this... let's not play blindfold games anymore."

"Uh... well... being blindfolded is really uncomfortable... this hour is quite tough... it would be better if we didn't play..." Xiaobai thought for a while and nodded hesitantly.

Missouri breathed a sigh of relief.

“That puts Missouri at ease…” Missouri mustered her last strength and smiled slightly at Shiro. “Admiral… Missouri is back on time this time…”

"Oh, oh oh..."

After confirming with Xiaobai, Missouri closed her eyes, drooped her head, and collapsed onto Xiaobai's lap, utterly exhausted.

Little White was left sitting on the chair, looking helpless.

"Missouri? Huh?? Missouri?? Wake up!"

Missouri—

Just as Xiaobai was holding Missouri and calling out to her, footsteps came from the corridor.

"Who came home without closing the outside door? Why was the outside door closed when I came back—" Iowa stopped smiling at the living room doorway. Then, looking at the chaotic scene before her, the red rope blindfold and other restraints on Xiaobai, and the exhausted Missouri and New Jersey lying beneath her, her mouth remained stuck on the last syllable, pausing for a long time before she recovered, "...Oh dear, this is really..."

Iowa gently tapped her chin.

"...Could it be that I...missed out on some good show?"

Chapter 2259 Professional Team

Three days have passed since the blindfolded game between Xiaobai and Missouri.

After cleaning up the mess from last time, it took Xiaobai a lot of effort to explain to the ship girls who found her that she was tied to a chair.

After learning that Shiro was tied to a chair just to train her teamwork with Missouri, the ship girls at home protested to varying degrees. However, since nothing serious happened in the end, they didn't hold Missouri responsible. They simply made Shiro and Missouri promise not to play such strange games at home again, and that was the end of it.

However, since that incident, Wisconsin has become much quieter at home. She often sits alone at the top of the stairs, resting her chin on her hand and looking out at the living room. Her eyes are often filled with a girlish melancholy. The frequency of her arguments with New Jersey has also decreased from once every hour to once every five hours, which makes New Jersey feel a little uncomfortable.

When Xiaobai asked Missouri why Wisconsin had become like this, Missouri never gave Xiaobai a direct answer. Instead, he gave Xiaobai a strange smile and said, "It's just an iron tree blooming."

—Maybe it's the ship girls' adolescence.

Xiao Bai understood this and was quite understanding, giving Wisconsin some quiet private space without disturbing her too much.

The idol project mission for Mu Yu was finally delivered to the newbie garrison on the third day of the blindfolded game.

Xiao Bai held Mu Yu's email and studied it in the admiral's office all day, looking at the idol project task in his hands over and over again.

Perhaps because this mission is rather special and not related to my major, the idol mission did not specifically mark what the newbie needs to do. After fully explaining the cause and effect, it was only mentioned that a professional team for selecting idol talents would visit the newbie town hall a few days later.

After reading Mu Yu's idol project mission, Xiao Bai instructed the ship girls at the naval base to dress up and get ready to deal with the guests a few days later.

Three more days passed in the blink of an eye.

On the third day after Xiaobai received Muyu's mission, a pink van arrived at the gate of the newbie town hall.

The van door opened.

A dozen or so figures stepped out of the van, pulling around props such as loudspeakers, laptops, tables, chairs, microphones, and flashlights, and rang the doorbell of the rookie garrison.

……

Inside the Admiral's office.

Xiaobai stood by the window, cautiously peering out through the drawn curtains at the "professional team" being escorted into the naval base by the ship girls.

"Eh... is this the professional team Mu Yu was talking about?" Xiao Bai pointed to her lips, looking surprised.

In Xiaobai's view, the "team" that visited the newbie garrison was actually a group of ordinary humans. The leader was even a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties or fifties, with a big belly, wearing large sunglasses, with messy hair like a bird's nest, and a stubble beard.

This image... while not exactly the same, strangely reminded Xiaobai of the Admiral's Guild Master from the first chapter, Mr. Barbatos, who resembled a penguin.

"What a wild-looking guy," Lexington remarked with a smile, standing next to Little White, displaying her high emotional intelligence.

"Judging from his appearance, he seems to be the leader of that group?" Xiaobai asked, turning around.

“That’s how it should be,” Lexington nodded.

"Is it really reliable to let someone like this choose the ship girls...?" Xiaobai began to worry.

“Since it’s a professional team recommended by Mu Yu, they must have their reasons,” Lexington thought for a moment and replied with a smile. “Anyway, let’s see how it goes. If they’re unreliable, we’ll just get rid of them.”

"Um……"

After tidying up a bit, Xiao Bai sat back down in his office chair, waiting for the professional team to arrive.

About five or six minutes later, noisy footsteps echoed in the quiet corridor. Then the door to the admiral's office was pushed open, and the ship girls excitedly rushed in, waving vigorously at Shiro.

"Admiral! Admiral! The guests have arrived!"

One by one, figures entered the admiral's office amidst the excited shouts of the ship girls.

The one leading the group was the slightly overweight middle-aged man that Xiaobai had seen outside.

As soon as the middle-aged man entered the office, his sunglasses pointed directly at Xiaobai and Lexington.

Xiao Bai could sense that, in an instant, a sharp and shrewd gaze emanated from behind the man's sunglasses, scrutinizing him from head to toe.

Little White on the chair looked slightly surprised.

This feeling... is somewhat like being scanned by mental energy.

Does he have mental power?

The thought flashed through Xiaobai's mind, but it quickly disappeared.

wrong.

Mental power is ineffective against Xiaobai.

Rather, if this middle-aged man had truly tested Xiaobai with his mental power, he should be kneeling on the ground, writhing in pain, clutching his head.

—Is it just a matter of eyesight?

Xiao Bai drew a conclusion, and then looked at the man in front of her with more caution.

As expected of a professional recommended by Mu Yu...

Thinking of this, Xiao Bai stood up and smiled slightly at the middle-aged man who walked into the office.

"Hello, I am the garrison commander of this naval base..."

"Hey! Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello!!"

Before Xiaobai could finish speaking, the middle-aged man in front of him quickly bent down, stretched out his hand, and walked towards Xiaobai with a big smile on his face.

"So you're the renowned Admiral of the Rookie Naval Base! I've heard so much about you! Greetings, sir! My surname is Chen, you can just call me Xiao Chen! I was introduced by Governor Mu Yu. This is my first visit, and I didn't bring any gifts to express my respect, please forgive me! I'm so sorry! Here's my business card!"

The middle-aged man walked up to Xiaobai and respectfully took out a white card from his clothes, placing it neatly on Xiaobai's desk.

Xiao Bai looked at the business card on the table.

This was the most glamorous business card Xiaobai had ever seen. The lettering on the card was all gold, and there were gold-inlaid patterns around it. It was neatly written on the card: XX Image Production Company, XX Film Director, XX Film Chief Producer, Chen Xuangan. Then there was a row of email addresses and mobile phone numbers.

Ok?

Xiao Bai stared at the business card for a while, then froze.

"Hey, director?" Xiao Bai exclaimed in surprise, "And the name is..."

It wasn't until she saw the business card that Xiaobai realized she knew the man in front of her.

Chen Xuangan.

This name might be an obscure term in the world of admirals, but in a human society with a thriving entertainment industry, it would be quite well-known.

While it may not be considered a household name, it is certainly well-known.

Because this is a famous director.

Chapter 2260 Ship Girl Selection!

Xiao Bai curiously studied the middle-aged man's face for a while.

Sure enough, Xiaobai saw a familiar face in that rugged, unshaven face.

It really is me, someone else, who's also here to chat in a separate group...

Xiao Bai felt a surge of emotion.

Chen Ganxuan is a renowned director in human society. In his more than 20 years in the industry, he has directed a high-quality film every few years, several of which are considered classics by movie fans. To use a rather clichéd phrase to describe his status in human society, he has won numerous awards at home and abroad, and his works are deeply loved by movie fans. The number of people who have seen his movies could line up and circle the earth several times.

This includes Xiaobai himself.

Although Xiaobai wasn't a hardcore moviegoer and didn't have any particular preferences, she still watched several films related to the director in front of her before she became an admiral.

—This is such a "big shot".

"So the professional that Mu Yu found for us this time is a film director?" Xiao Bai said in surprise to the middle-aged man at the table.

"Exactly, exactly." Seeing the surprise on Xiaobai's face, the middle-aged man at the table grinned with pride.

"Then you are indeed a professional..."

"Boss, you know me?"

“It’s not that I know or don’t know…” Xiao Bai smiled at the middle-aged man. “Uncle Chen, when you won your first award for making a movie, I wasn’t even born yet.”

"Oh dear! I can't accept this!" Upon hearing Xiao Bai call him "uncle," the middle-aged man trembled and hurriedly waved his hands, saying, "Sir, you can just call me by my name. I can't accept being called 'uncle'—how about this! If you're going to be so kind, just call me Xiao Chen!"

"That won't do." Xiaobai thought for a moment and said, "Hmm... if you don't mind, then I'll call you Director Chen, how about that?"

"Yes! Sure, sure!" A proud smile immediately spread across the middle-aged man's face.

This "big shot" in human society was surprisingly polite to Xiaobai.

"Director Chen, it's a pleasure to meet you." Xiao Bai smiled, picked up the business card on the table, and handed it to Lexington, who was standing next to him. "I will keep this business card safe."

Lexington accepted the business card, then took out the Rookie Naval Base's business card and handed it to Director Chen.

Director Chen carefully accepted the business card, then very cautiously took out his wallet and put the business card into a hidden compartment.

After finishing this task, Director Chen looked up somewhat awkwardly and grinned at Xiao Bai and Lexington.

"Sorry, I got a little excited, please excuse my behavior..."

"Does Director Chen know me?" Xiao Bai asked.
