Elder brother's garrison

Ship girls always have pure hearts, and "simple" stories like those of Akagi and Shiro are often the most touching to them.

When the Divine Eagle looked at Little White again, there was a hint of warmth in its eyes, a sign of change.

Chapter 2566 The Eighth Admiral's Guild II

"Chapter 8 is located in a dangerous place, and it is 108,000 miles away from the nearest human settlement. Considering the construction cost, it has not been built with tall city walls like the cities in other chapters."

"More than 80% of the basic buildings in the chapter city are operated by the Admiral's headquarters, while the remaining entertainment-related buildings are contracted out to the Admiral."

"Like other chapter cities, living in the eighth chapter city requires contribution points, not money."

"Each admiral who comes to conquer Chapter 8 has nearly a hundred ship girls. How to settle these ship girls is a problem. Therefore, the Admiral Guild has built such a city for the ship girls, in order to give these battle-hardened ship girls treatment commensurate with their status."

“Me? I’m different from them. I was born from the construction device only half a year ago.”

"My naval base is a bit special; it hasn't completed Chapter Seven. My admiral was only qualified to enter here because of his clerical work position."

"..."

Since meeting Akagi, Shenying's attitude towards Shiro and his group has become noticeably gentler. She acts like a responsible tour guide, leading Shiro and his group through the city while introducing them to its local customs, facilities, and buildings.

However, as they talked, the topic gradually shifted from Chapter 8 to the Eagle himself.

Xiao Bai and his group bypassed the outer perimeter of the city in Chapter Eight and gradually approached the city center.

Finally, tiny white figures appeared on the street.

As Xiaobai and his group got closer to the city center, other admirals finally appeared on the bustling streets.

The admirals in Chapter 2567 are in their prime, each wearing a white hat and a crisp, clean admiral's uniform. Each of them stands tall and proud, their steps brisk, their expressions focused and serious. The ship girls following behind them are also quiet and obedient. Although few in number, they are enough to protect the admirals.

Occasionally, when the two admirals meet on the road, they merely nod to each other, and the ship girls behind them bow quietly to each other. Then, the two groups occupy opposite sides of the road and pass by without leaving a trace.

"The admirals in Chapter 8 all seem so composed." Xiaobai looked at the admirals around her, a smile on her face, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "It feels like the people here are the kind who constantly exude the aura of successful admirals."

"..." The Divine Eagle silently turned its head and glanced at Little White.

The little white bird in Shenying's vision looked completely innocent.

Shenying was unsure of what Xiaobai meant by those words.

If we're talking about successful admirals, all the admirals in Chapter 8 combined probably wouldn't be as good as a single finger of this admiral.

Was this rookie naval commander being sarcastic or genuinely praising someone when he said that?

The Divine Eagle pondered silently for a while, not intending to delve into the meaning of Xiao Bai's words.

That's it.

When an expert speaks, ordinary ship girls can simply listen and move on.

"The area ahead is the Admiral's Guild," Divine Eagle said to Little White, pointing ahead. "Would you like to come with me to the Admiral's Guild to report first, or would you like to explore the surrounding area and let me show you the routes and buildings?"

"Let's go to the Admiral's Guild first." Little White nodded to Divine Eagle and smiled. "Then I'll trouble you, Miss Divine Eagle."

The receptionist in Chapter 2568 leading the newly arrived admiral's team was not a rare sight in this city.

Xiaobai and his group did not seem to attract the attention of the surrounding admirals.

However, after Shenying and Xiaobai's group left, the admirals who were walking quietly on the street all stopped and turned their gazes to the direction in which Xiaobai and his group disappeared.

"It smells so good..."

"Did you notice that group of new admirals who were just led away by the receptionist?"

"Those women following behind her seem to be Iowa-class ship girls?"

"I can't be mistaken. I saw what the data looked like when the Admiral Headquarters released the news about the Iowa ship girl."

"Iowa-level... proof of being the luckiest person in the world!"

“I’m so envious.”

"Which Iowa-class ship girl does that little girl admiral own? Missouri or New Jersey?"

"..."

Why have you suddenly fallen silent?

"If I'm not mistaken, it seems that Iowa, New Jersey, Missouri, and Wisconsin were all with her."

"……what?"

"There are only four Iowa-class ship girls now, right? So they're all her ship girls?!"

"Listen, friend, I know this sounds absurd, but I will never forget the appearance of the Iowa-class ship girls... That's right, judging from the current situation, the Iowa-class ship girls are indeed all gathered together, serving the same admiral."

"This girl looks so young, who is she?"

"Could she be... the admiral of the rookie naval base?"

"My friend, don't joke around. The admiral of the rookie naval base is said to have a blue face and fangs, looking like a demon. The admiral just now looked delicate and gentle. No matter what, her image does not match the rumored rookie naval base."

"If she's so special... then who else could she be?"

"It's possible that she's the newest little princess of the family that's in charge of manufacturing ship girl production equipment, as mentioned in another rumor. I've heard that the girl is also around that age."

“Oh…that makes sense. If it’s due to the influence of a family, then I can understand how an admiral could have four Iowa ship girls at the same time.”

"Sigh... It seems like there are more and more outstanding young people lately. Leaving aside the newbie naval commander, there's this new admiral with four Iowa ship girls, and that girl who recently arrived in the city. I even heard that a powerful young guild leader has appeared in the second chapter. Besides, there's the new head of the Mu family, and that one in the admiral's guild..."

“There have always been talented young people around. The reason they suddenly emerged is probably because they heard the rumors about the Chapter 8 event.”

"Damn it, there's a mole among us!"

"The rewards for this event... I'm afraid they'll be hard to win..."

The admirals on the roadside watched the direction Xiaobai and his group had left with a complex mix of admiration and envy, and couldn't help but shake their heads.

……

Among the group of young people leaving the scene.

Missouri's ears twitched, then her eyes narrowed slightly, and she covered her mouth with a soft laugh.

“Missouri? What’s wrong?” Wisconsin noticed Missouri’s actions.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly felt that this city might be more lively than I imagined," Missouri said with a smile, putting her hand down.

"Huh?" Wisconsin naturally couldn't understand Missouri's nonsensical words and looked on with a puzzled expression.

While Wisconsin and Missouri were interacting, Xiaobai and his group also arrived at the entrance of the Admiral's Guild in Chapter 8.

Standing before Xiaobai and his group was the Admiral's Guild, a tall building that shimmered with a platinum-like metallic luster. The front door was wide open, revealing a spacious and magnificent hall. The hall floor was covered with a clean red carpet, and two ship girls dressed in cheongsams with bright red sashes slung across their shoulders looked like two guardian deities bearing the weight of a glorious palace.

As Xiaobai and his group approached, the two ship girls stepped forward and bowed to them.

"welcome."

"New admiral, I'll take them inside to report for duty." Shenying said to the ship girls at the door, and then led Xiaobai and her group into the hall.

Xiaobai curiously used the Admiral's Network to observe the two ship girls waiting in front of the door.

These two ship girls who bowed to their group appeared gentle and mild-mannered on the surface, seemingly just gatekeepers, but their ship equipment aura was profound and restrained, indicating that they were also highly trained veteran ship girls, just like the Divine Eagle.

"Wouldn't it be a waste to use such ship girls to guard the guild gate?" Xiaobai asked Shenying.

"Hmm?" The Divine Eagle turned around, a strange look appearing in its calm gaze. "...Are you talking about training level?"

"Yes."

"These ship girls are employees of the Admiral's Guild. In addition to their daily work, they are also responsible for protecting the safety of important figures in the guild in special circumstances."

"I see." Xiaobai nodded.

"...How did you discover their training level?" Divine Eagle asked in confusion.

"It's a secret." Little White smiled at the Divine Eagle.

"..." The Divine Eagle remained silent, but after a moment of thought, it nodded slightly.

Perhaps due to the time of day, the hall of the Admiral's Guild was somewhat empty at this moment.

The spacious hall was mostly filled with ship girls, with a small number of white-clad admirals going through their procedures at various reception desks.

Shenying led Xiaobai and his group to the front desk at the very front of the hall.

Xiao Bai handed his admiral's credentials to the front desk.

There were two ship girls waiting at the front desk. They were also wearing cheongsams and had a well-trained and quiet appearance. However, when the two ship girls took Xiaobai's ID card and were about to insert it into the card reader for registration, they looked down and saw the number 00001 shining with golden light on the ID card, as well as the words "Newbie Naval Base". In that instant, the two ship girls' hands trembled violently, and one of them lost their grip, and Xiaobai's ID card fell to the ground.

Snapped!

The ID card fell to the floor, making a crisp sound in the quiet hall.

"Ah... Hug, hug, I'm so sorry!!!"

The quiet hall was suddenly filled with the ship girls' awkward apologies.

Many admirals who were processing their paperwork stopped what they were doing and turned their curious gazes over.

The receptionist ship girl quickly stood up from her chair, hurriedly picked up Xiaobai's ID from the floor, and then kept bowing and apologizing to Xiaobai.

"I'm so sorry, it turns out it's you, sir!"

"I am so sorry I couldn't greet you from afar! Please forgive me!!"

The two ship girls walked out from the front desk while talking. They didn't care about the registration for a moment. They just carefully handed the documents back to Xiaobai. Then, they said to Xiaobai nervously and fearfully, "Sir, please come with me. The leaders above have instructed that if you are visiting in person, we should take you upstairs to see them... Is now a convenient time for you?"

The ship girls waiting at the front desk, like the two welcoming ship girls outside, were all battle-hardened ship girls with maxed-out levels. However, even so, their reserved attitude when facing Shiro and their timid request for Shiro to come upstairs after stepping out of the front desk shocked some admirals in the lobby who were handling other procedures.

Chapter 2569 Cash on Delivery

This is... the front-line ship girl of the Admiral's Guild in Chapter 8!

Although they work in the service industry, their status is by no means low—as the most prominent profession in the Admiral's Guild, they represent the face of the Eighth Chapter Admiral's Guild in a sense. Moreover, each of them is a renowned battleship girl in the industry. To provoke them is to provoke the Eighth Chapter Admiral's Guild, which is equivalent to provoke the Admiral's Headquarters! No admiral in this sea area dares to show the slightest disrespect in front of them.

And now, this front-line ship girl, who represents the face of the Admiral's Guild, is actually showing such an attitude towards a new Admiral. This is just too much...

Even the top ten admirals might not receive this kind of treatment!

The admirals in the hall couldn't help but swallow hard as they looked at Shiro, who was surrounded by ship girls at the front desk, and their gazes became cautious.

"Excuse me, would it be convenient for you to come upstairs with us now?" The two receptionist ship girls asked Xiaobai cautiously, as if they were afraid of upsetting her.

"Ah... I knew it would turn out like this..." Xiaobai clasped her hands together and smiled at the ship girls in front of her. "Well... I'm fine, I'm perfectly fine. Then please take me upstairs."

Xiaobai was initially surprised by the reactions of the ship girls at the front desk, but after thinking about it carefully, she understood.

Mu Yu and Lin Qing are still in the Admiral's Guild in Chapter 8. Since my coming to Chapter 8 was at Mu Yu's personal suggestion, it's unlikely that he wouldn't instruct his subordinates on what to do if they encountered me.

However, it's precisely this attitude towards oneself...

Xiao Bai couldn't help but smile as she watched the two ship girls in front of her, who looked as if they were afraid she would eat them after learning her identity.

—I feel like my reputation among high-ranking admirals has become rather strange.

—It's truly heartbreaking.

How did things turn out this way?

"Let's go," Xiaobai said to the ship girls at the front desk.

The two front desk ship girls breathed a sigh of relief and gave Xiaobai grateful smiles, then led her towards the elevator.

However, when Xiaobai and her group approached the elevator, the two receptionist ship girls glanced behind Xiaobai, exchanged a look, and both showed troubled expressions.

"What's wrong?" Xiaobai asked.

"Um... Admiral. Our orders are to lead you upstairs..." the two receptionist ship girls said hesitantly.

"Can't my ship girl come along?" Xiaobai tilted her head.

"Ah! No, no, that's not what we meant!" The two receptionist ship girls quickly waved their hands and bowed to Xiaobai in apology. "The admiral and the ship girl are considered as one, so of course your ship girl can go up with you, but..."

The two front-line ship girls cast troubled glances at the Divine Eagle.

"Ah... Miss Divine Eagle, can't you go up?" Xiaobai finally understood what Liu Ling IV Scars, the ship girl at the front desk, meant.

"We are very sorry..." The ship girls at the front desk all bowed their heads.

"I'm sorry... Miss Divine Eagle," Xiaobai said regretfully to Divine Eagle.

"It's alright, I'll wait for you here." Divine Eagle nodded and said to Little White, "You guys go up first."

"I'll come down as soon as possible," Little White said to the Divine Eagle.

"..." Shenying nodded silently, took a few steps back, and waved to Xiaobai.
