"...Oh." Veneto turned around with relief after hearing Xiaobai's words. She took a deep breath, first making a perfect pose in front of the bowling lane, then throwing the bowling ball to the ground. The black bowling ball spun and flew into the pins at the end of the lane.
Bang.
The bottles, stacked in a triangle, were all pushed down.
Chapter 2476 Veneto's Property
Now, Xiaobai is fulfilling his duties as admiral, enjoying time with his ship girl.
Thump thump thump...
The scoring pins were knocked down by Veneto's ball and fell into the deep hole behind the board.
A large "strike" sign quickly appeared on the electronic scoreboard next to Xiaobai, followed by a lively and exciting electronic music.
The cheerful electronic music attracted some people in the bowling alley.
The bowling guests around Xiaobai turned their attention to her, and when they saw two young girls, one in black and one in white, at the end of the lane, they all showed expressions of surprise.
"Oh oh oh—all knocked down!" Little White on the chair quickly clapped for Veneto.
After dropping a ball, Veneto listened to the applause from Xiaobai. She didn't turn around for a moment, but silently returned to the bowling machine and picked up another brand-new bowling ball. Veneto walked back to the lane, and after the machine at the end of the lane reset the pins, she used an extremely standard posture to lower the bowling ball towards the pins.
swoosh————
Snapped!
With a crisp sound, the pins that had just been reset were knocked down once again.
A large "strike" sign appeared again on the electronic scoreboard next to Xiaobai, and the jubilant electronic music started playing once more.
"Oh, oh, oh!" Little White continued clapping.
Veneto remained silent as she returned to the bowling machine and picked up the brand-new bowling ball once more…
swoosh————
Snapped!
Another perfect score.
……
The crisp sound of the ball hitting the ball, along with the continuous music from the electronic scoreboard, filled the air.
As Veneto knocked down the pins at the end of the lane one by one, announcements rang out in the bowling alley. More and more people noticed Veneto's presence and came to watch him, until the area around Veneto was completely packed.
"Wow! What an amazing little girl!"
Wow...that's amazing!
"This is the first time they've hit the mark so many times..."
Is this a professional bowler?
"..."
Every time Veneto conceded a goal, it drew loud cheers from the surrounding crowd. Before they knew it, the cheers had drowned out Iniesta, who could only watch with a wry smile as Veneto conceded the last goal.
As the last square on the electronic scoreboard was filled with the "all in" sign, Veneto, who had conceded the final goal, finally breathed a sigh of relief. She rubbed her shoulders and turned around.
Just as Veneto turned around, noon
Splash splash ...
The crowd erupted in applause for Veneto, accompanied by several excited cheers.
"Little girl! Well done!"
"This is the first time I've ever seen someone bowl so well!"
"Want to have a match?!"
"..."
Veneto herself seemed to have not expected so many people to be watching her. She kept rubbing her shoulders and looked at the crowd in front of her for a while before shifting her gaze to Xiaobai.
Seeing that Xiaobai's location was about to be swallowed up by the crowd, Veneto lowered his arm, waved to the crowd in front of him, and then bowed to everyone.
The crowd then slowly dispersed.
Veneto returned to Little White's side.
"Admiral, are you alright?" Veneto asked with some concern.
"It's nothing." Xiaobai smiled and shook her head. She exclaimed to Veneto, "Veneto, I never knew your bowling skills were so good!"
“Back in human society, I was fortunate enough to play it a few times due to certain reasons,” Veneto said, glancing to the side. “As long as you control the power of your serve, the result is generally not disappointing. It’s quite an interesting sport for me.”
"Oh……"
"Would the Admiral like to give it a try?"
"As for me... forget it." Xiaobai looked around and noticed that the crowd that had left earlier was still secretly watching them from a distance. She couldn't help but give Veneto a wry smile. "So many people are watching us. If I were to throw and miss, how embarrassing would that be..."
“I can drive them away for you,” Veneto said, raising his eyebrows.
"No need, these people are customers too. There's no rule in the stadium that forbids them from watching other customers," Xiaobai shook her head.
“…I’m sorry, Admiral.” Veneto bowed his head regretfully. “It’s all because of me…”
"So many people are paying attention to you because they also think you're amazing, Veneto," Xiaobai said with a smile. "This also proves that my judgment was correct."
"Hmm... but there are so many people..."
"Sit down and chat, otherwise no one will be watching." Xiaobai patted the seat next to him.
Veneto thought for a moment, then nodded and sat down next to Little White.
Little White and Veneto leaned against each other, quietly surveying the entire bowling alley.
The crowd that had been watching Iniesta's team gradually turned their attention away when Veneto stopped playing.
Veneto, who was sitting in her seat, was a little restless at first. After thinking for a while, she turned her head and asked Little White.
"Admiral."
"Ok?"
"Did you feel happy to go out with me this time, Admiral?"
"I'm very happy." Xiaobai nodded with a smile.
"Is that so..." Veneto seemed a little uneasy.
“After all, back in the garrison, Veneto, you were always talking about the Empire and Rome,” Xiaobai said with a smile. “Opportunities to get to know you directly like this are rare.”
“…” Veneto was taken aback.
"I didn't know until today that you, Veneto, are so good at bowling," Xiaobai said to Veneto with a smile.
"...I didn't mean to hide it from the Admiral..." Veneto stammered, looking down.
“I know.” Little White nudged Veneto closer. “I just suddenly realized that I don’t seem to know enough about you, Veneto. Um… if it’s convenient, would you like to tell me about your life in human society?”
"Human society...?"
"Yes, for example, Veneto, which city in human society did you live in before?"
"Yuncheng."
“Oh, it’s Cloud City…” Xiaobai nodded, about to speak, but her gaze suddenly froze. She turned to look at Veneto, “Eh? Wait, Cloud City?”
"Yes."
Sitting next to Little White, Veneto looked at Little White quietly, his gaze completely calm.
"Veneto, did you live in Cloud City before?"
“Yes,” Veneto nodded. “Didn’t I use my membership card to enter the stadium just now? Didn’t you notice, Admiral?”
"Oh... I was so busy looking at other places..." Xiaobai covered her forehead. "I never imagined that Veneto, you used to live here..."
“Hmm… After all, this is one of the few major cities in human society.” Veneto nodded, closed his eyes and pondered, “But the only downside is that houses are too expensive, about ten times more expensive than in third- or fourth-tier cities.”
"A house...? Veneto, did you buy a house in Cloud City?"
“Yes, I bought it.” Veneto nodded to Xiaobai again. “After all, I had Camicia and the others with me at that time. It would be too inconvenient for the five of us to rent a place, so I bought a house to save trouble.”
"Where...where is the house?"
“It should still be there. I was in a rush to go back to the naval base, and there's still a lot of furniture inside, so I didn't have time to sell it.” Veneto thought for a moment and slowly replied, “After all, I haven't been back for over a year, so I don't know what the situation is like there… Ah, but I'm not planning to go back to see it. For Camicia and me, it's just a very ordinary place to live; we haven't invested too much emotion in it…”
Veneto hadn't finished speaking.
Just hear a snap.
With a swift turn, Xiaobai grabbed Veneto's hands, his eyes shining.
"Admiral?" Veneto was taken aback, looking at Xiaobai in surprise.
"Veneto, where is your house? How about you take me to see it?" Little White grabbed Veneto's wrist, practically pressing her entire body against him.
"Admiral?? That's just an ordinary house, it's not even in the same league as the villa we're living in now, and, and why do you seem so excited..."
“Veneto, you’re a ship girl, you wouldn’t understand.” Little White sighed, her eyes filled with hope as she slowly said, “For us human society’s inhabitants, what kind of supreme status does a fully paid-off civilian house hold…”
"But with your current wealth, Admiral, can't you buy as many houses as you want?"
“It feels different, the things you can’t afford are the best…” Xiaobai laughed, shook Veneto in front of her, and leaned close to Veneto’s face. “Take me to see it, I’m very interested in the house Veneto lived in.”
Xiao Bai's face was right in front of me.
A pair of large, black eyes sparkled brightly in front of Veneto's eyes, and through the black contact lenses, one could vaguely see the golden irises, like a child eagerly anticipating seeing their stockings hanging above their bed before Christmas, making it impossible to refuse.
Seeing how interested Little White was, Veneto's face flushed red, and she couldn't help but turn her head to one side.
"Ahem..." Veneto coughed, lowered her head, and adjusted her small hat. "Since, since the Admiral is so eager to see... well, that's not impossible... but those are really just ordinary houses, nothing compared to the villa you're staying in now, Admiral..."
"Hehe, I got it! Let's go then!!!"
Xiao Bai smiled and quickly pulled Veneto up from his seat.
Chapter 2477 Camicchia's Execution Chamber
Just leave.
After deciding on their next destination, Xiaobai and Veneto left the bowling alley.
After leaving the bowling alley, Veneto followed the route he remembered, circling around half of Yuncheng District, and finally led Xiaobai to a scenic residential community.
The community in front of them was not very large, only a few thousand square meters. Several tall elevator buildings stood among the ordinary cement gardens. Veneto stood at the entrance of the community, looking at the buildings in the distance and thinking for a while before leading Xiaobai into the unit door of one of the buildings.
Taking the elevator, Xiaobai and Veneto arrived at the tenth or soth floor of the building, finally stopping in front of a dark security door.
"Ahem." Veneto cleared her throat in front of the door, turned around and said to Xiaobai, "Admiral, this is the house I bought before."
"Oh... so this is it..." Xiaobai covered her mouth and nodded excitedly as she listened to Veneto's words, her eyes lingering on the security door.
I don't know what brand the security door of Veneto's house is, but even though she hasn't been home for more than a year, the outside of the door still looks shiny and new.
"The environment inside is definitely not as nice as the big villa you live in now, Admiral... But since we're already here, would you like to come in and sit for a while?" Veneto asked Xiaobai.
"Mmm-hmm!" Little White nodded.
Seeing Xiaobai's enthusiastic expression, Veneto pursed her lips helplessly. She opened her ship equipment space, reached in and searched for a few minutes before finally pulling out a black card and a delicate key tied to it with a thin string.
"What is this card?" Xiaobai asked curiously.
"This card is the community access pass."
"Didn't you use it before?"
“I’ve been a long-time resident, and there’s automatic facial recognition when I enter the house.”
"I see."
After a brief exchange with Little White, Veneto took out his keys and opened the security door in front of him.
call----
The moment the security door was pulled open, a sound that seemed to have been sealed for hundreds of years rang out, followed by a wave of air carrying a faint dust.
The blast of air instantly hit Xiaobai and Veneto's faces.
Xiaobai and Veneto immediately covered their mouths and coughed softly a few times.
"Ahem... I'm sorry, Admiral, it's been a year since we cleaned, so there might be some dust inside."
