Elder brother's garrison

Page 1865

“The courtyard in the center of the city, near the main traffic artery,” Xiaobai said to Luo Yingying. “I remember the house number is 10032, and an admiral named Nia lives there.”

"Huh?" Luo Yingying was taken aback when she heard Xiaobai's words. Then she frowned silently and turned around to quickly operate the desktop computer next to her desk.

Blah blah blah...

A crisp sound, like rice being spilled on the floor, rang out from the keyboard.

"Um... is it because the property there is too expensive? Can't you just give it to me for free?" Xiaobai asked Luo Yingying worriedly. "If I need to pay for it, that's fine too..."

"No, Admiral Lu Lin, you've misunderstood." Luo Yingying shook her head. She looked at the pop-up window on the computer screen, thought seriously for a moment, and then said to Xiaobai, "It's like this. I just checked—if the property you're interested in, Admiral Lu Lin, has already been bought, it's actually a bit troublesome to handle. But fortunately, after my investigation, the female admiral living in apartment 10032 didn't buy the entire property; she only rented it out short-term. In that case, our Admiral Guild only needs to send someone to make a little contact later, and we should be able to get her and her naval base moving out of there before tonight. Admiral Lu Lin, you can choose to move in with your ship girls after that..."

"Hey! Wait!" Xiaobai quickly called out to Luo Yingying, "That's not what I meant!"

"Hmm? May I ask what Admiral Lu Lin means..."

"Sell me that property, but don't help me kick the people out of there," Xiaobai said to Luo Yingying.

"Uh... do you mean you only need ownership of 10032 apartments?"

"Hmm." Xiaobai nodded to Luo Yingying, "How much is the rent for that apartment each month?"

"Not counting the deposit, we need to submit 960,000 merits to the Admiral's Guild every month."

"It's not cheap."

"After all, that courtyard is the most luxurious residence in Chapter Eight," Luo Yingying explained to Xiaobai, raising her hand. "For example, the well there uses artificial spring water specially brought in from a very, very far place, and the electricity and internet signal are directly provided by the Admiral's Guild headquarters. Also, even though it's in a prime location, the land area is still extravagantly large..."

"I understand, I understand..."

"In short, the original purpose of building that residence was for a top ten naval base like yours, Admiral Lu Lin, who has a deep foundation and substantial wealth," Luo Yingying explained to Xiaobai. "When that property was built, the Admiral's Guild didn't have a profit-making mentality. When we put the property up for rent or sale, we also took into account the status of a top ten admiral and gave a significant discount... However, we didn't expect that in the end, it would be rented by an admiral outside the top ten naval bases."

“Even a regular admiral wouldn’t spend nearly a million merit points every month to rent a house…” Xiao Bai said to Luo Yingying with a wry smile.

“If you only need to know the ownership, you only need to wait a few minutes,” Luo Yingying explained to Xiaobai. “This house originally belonged to the Admiral’s Guild. As long as Admiral Lu Lin nods, transferring the ownership of the house to your name is just a matter of going through a simple procedure.”

"Then please."

"...Um, by the way," Luo Yingying looked at Xiaobai's calm expression and suddenly became puzzled, "You went through all that trouble to get that house, but why don't you move in?"

"I live there too."

"Wasn't that house originally occupied by another admiral..."

“That’s my friend, we live together.” Xiaobai smiled at Luo Yingying. “But I see that she has a lot of pressure to pay the rent every month, and I really like this house, so I thought I might as well buy the house and become her landlord.”

“…” Luo Yingying.

A string of unpleasant words stuck in Luo Yingying's throat, making her feel uncomfortable all over.

The worldview of the nouveau riche is truly incomprehensible.

This is probably what a big shot is like.

Luo Yingying finally gave up on complaining and just sighed.

"Admiral Lu Lin, please wait a moment. I will transfer the ownership of that house to the Mengxin Naval Base right away... As for the property certificate and land certificate for that house, the procedures are quite complicated, so they may take a couple of days to be delivered."

"Okay, thank you for your help!" Xiaobai nodded gratefully.

Luo Yingying just shook her head, then started typing away on the keyboard again.

Xiaobai blinked as she watched Luo Yingying typing on the keyboard.

"Oh, by the way, Miss Yingying, I have a few more questions for you."

"What is it?" Luo Yingying stopped what she was doing.

"When I went to Chapter Six, quite a few of the admirals there actually recognized me. But for some reason, since I came to Chapter Eight, suddenly not many people recognize me anymore," Xiaobai asked Luo Yingying. "Miss Yingying, do you know what's going on?"

"Here's the thing, after you finished the special event in Chapter Six, the Admiral's Guild upgraded your information from Level 4 to Level 3 classified," Luo Yingying said to Xiaobai. "That means that real information about the current Admiral of the newbie naval base will basically not appear on the internet or in daily life, and over time, fewer and fewer people will know you."

"The rumors are getting bigger and bigger..."

"I'm sorry, rumors... as long as they don't involve defamation or insults, they're really not under the supervision of the Admiral's Headquarters..." Luo Yingying shook her head with a wry smile, but then said to Xiaobai, "However, if you really have objections to this, we can step in and help you manage the public opinion..."

"Sigh, forget it." Xiaobai sighed and said to Luo Yingying, "It seems like it would be good if others had some respect for the newbie naval base..."

"..." Luo Yingying pursed her lips.

"Then, Miss Luo Yingying, could you please help me change my identity?" Xiao Bai changed the subject, raised a finger, and asked Luo Yingying with a smile.

"Huh?" Luo Yingying was stunned.

"So, you see, because of the rumors outside... if I go around with the title of 'newbie naval commander' all I want, my daily life will be full of trouble, right?" Xiaobai said regretfully to Luo Yingying. "So could you please ask Miss Luo Yingying to conceal my identity as a commander within the scope of Chapter 8?"

"……this……"

"is it not OK?"

“In principle, it’s not possible…but…you are the pioneering hero of Chapter 8…your privileges within Chapter 8 are almost limitless…” Luo Ying stammered, “My master also instructed me to unconditionally fulfill all your requests…”

"So, it's okay?!" Xiaobai asked hopefully.

“…It’s not enough to fabricate information about a naval base out of thin air,” Luo Yingying said to Xiaobai. “However…if we replace it with information about an existing naval base…it’s procedurally possible. So you can contact your friends and see who is willing to temporarily lend you their naval base’s name.”

"I see!" Xiaobai's eyes lit up, then she nodded. "Thank you, Miss Yingying!"

"You're welcome, you're welcome..." Luo Yingying raised her hand and waved, looking at Xiaobai's innocent expression, she gave a wry smile.

Ha ha……

What flashed through Luo Yingying's mind was a sense of helplessness, as if she had seen through everything in the world.

Admiral Lu Lin applied to hide her title as the world's number one, preparing to create a new account to infiltrate Chapter 8... or so.

Holy shit.

It's a standard "pretending to be weak to deceive others" template, or a classic "dragon king goes undercover" story where he uses overwhelming force to achieve his goal...

With this series of actions, it's likely that another unfortunate admiral's naval base will fall victim to her wickedness...

Chapter 2590 Picking up a friend from the cellar

As a former admiral who had suffered greatly at the hands of Xiaobai, Luo Yingying felt an overwhelming sense of sympathy and pity for any future admiral who would be harmed by Xiaobai.

But that's all.

Luo Yingying would definitely not dare to stop Xiaobai.

This admiral has only been visiting Chapter 8 for a short while, and he's already gotten so used to his own Divine Eagle that they're practically treating each other to meals. If this admiral is allowed to run wild, Luo Yingying doesn't even dare to imagine what will happen in a couple of days!

As the saying goes, a dead Taoist friend will never die if he is a poor Taoist.

In Chapter 2591, Luo Yingying expressed her gratitude for having a scapegoat to help her divert the attention of this deadly Grand Admiral.

“Since Admiral Lu Lin is planning to participate in the Holy Construction Day under a different identity, you don’t need to fill out the reporting form for now,” Luo Yingying said to Xiaobai. “You can take that form back and, once you’ve decided on the identity you want to use, write down the corresponding naval base information on it and then send the form over.”

Are there any requirements for the naval base identity I'm using?

"As long as it really exists, it's fine."

"After filling out the form, did I personally deliver it to you?"

"No, no, no... just have someone deliver it..." Luo Yingying quickly corrected herself, giving Xiaobai an awkward smile.

"Thank you." Xiaobai gave Luo Yingying a bright smile.

"Haha...no, you're welcome..." Luo Yingying wiped the sweat from her cheeks.

"Oh right, what if the garrison I chose doesn't qualify me for Chapter 8?" Xiaobai asked.

"The Admiral's Guild will grant you the qualifications."

"Speaking of which, is it okay if I want to bring my friends to play in Chapter Eight?"

“Anyone working in the admiral circle is welcome.” Luo Yingying smiled at Xiaobai. “In a sense, the city in Chapter 8 is your second home, Admiral Lu Lin. Here, you are the master of the city and can ignore many rules and regulations. So, as the head of the family, it is perfectly reasonable for you to bring your friends to visit your home.

Hearing Luo Yingying's words, Xiaobai finally felt relieved.

As expected of Ringo's eldest apprentice, she truly inherited Ringo's reliable and efficient nature in handling matters.

As Xiao Bai gazed at Luo Yingying, a greater sense of goodwill unconsciously crept into her eyes.

Of course, facing Xiaobai's increasingly gentle gaze, Luo Yingying felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, her whole body turning cold.

After the brief conversation, Xiaobai bid farewell to Luo Yingying with satisfaction, left the Admiral's Guild, and returned to Nia's courtyard.

Nia was currently leading her ship girls on an expedition, and there weren't many ship girls left in the courtyard.

Xiaobai looked around at the entrance and found that her ship girls were standing in twos and threes downstairs in the dormitory building, chatting happily with the ship girls from Nia's family who had stayed behind to guard the house.

"So, my other self, you were actually living with your commander in the naval base?" Nia's Taihou, with her long, black hair parted in many places, wearing a red robe and short skirt that revealed her smooth shoulders and full breasts, stared at Shiro's Taihou with her red eyes, asking curiously, "My other self, how far have you gotten with your commander? What has she done to you?"

"Ah, this, this..." Taihou from the Shiro family lowered her head shyly, hugging her pink twin tails, "Admiral, the Admiral is very good to me..."

“I didn’t mean to ask if she bullied you.” Nia’s Taihou shrugged helplessly, her full chest swaying gently with her sigh. “What I meant was… my other self. Since you, like me, bear the name Taihou, then even though we have different attitudes, we should both have a strong sense of belonging to our respective commanders, right?”

"Huh? What is a sense of belonging?" The big phoenix from the little white house looked up curiously.

"Hehehe... Of course..." Nia's Taihou chuckled softly, licking her lips with her tongue, revealing a hint of yandere charm, "The determination to eliminate everyone by any means necessary, to become the Commander's only beloved. Hehehe... The Commander can only belong to Taihou... For the Commander, Taihou will do anything..."

"Eh..." Xiaobai's Taiho stared blankly at Nia's Taiho.

“…Tsk.” Nia’s Taihou looked at Shiro’s Taihou’s adorable and innocent appearance. The sickly aura that had just appeared on its face was like hitting a cotton ball, making Nia feel helpless. “Forget it…Looking at your useless appearance, it’s obvious that you can’t do anything.”

"Uh..." Da Feng from Xiao Bai's family lowered his head in embarrassment.

"So, my other self, don't you have any intimate interactions with your commander?" Nia's Taihou said confidently. "Let me tell you, my goal is to eliminate Cleveland, get the commander's ring, and become the commander's only marriage ship. Now my plan is already half successful."

"You got the ring?"

"Hehe, I successfully held the Commander's hand last week." Taihou from Nia's family flicked a strand of black hair beside her cheek, smiling smugly. "Although I only managed to hug him secretly when the Commander wasn't looking, one day, Taihou will get the Commander's ring..."

"..." Xiaobai's Dafeng, "Oh... I see..."

"So, what about you, my other self?" Nia's Taihou asked, "What kind of intimate contact have you had with your commander?"

"As for me... um... actually, I don't know if it counts as intimate..." Taihou from Shiro's family lowered her head, rubbing her slender fingers shyly. "That... when I first met the Admiral, he saw my panties... and we even took a bath together..."

"Huh?" Nia's phoenix was stunned. "Taking a bath?"

"Hmm." Daihou from the Shiro family lowered her head regretfully. "However, even though it was a rare opportunity to introduce myself to the Admiral, my behavior was quite embarrassing. I accidentally... well... I mean..."

At this point, Da Feng from Xiao Bai's family blushed and couldn't say a word.

"...Eh, eh? Eh eh?" Nia's Taiho quickly approached Shiro's Taiho. "What happened? What happened?"

The giant phoenix from Xiaobai's family leaned close to the ear of the giant phoenix from Nia's family and whispered a few words.

As Nia's daughter, Dafeng, listened, her snow-white cheeks flushed red. She opened her mouth and let out a series of exclamations like "woo woo ah ah wa wa..." Her eyes instantly turned into the shape of mosquito coils.

"The other me actually... actually, actually... was so bold... I... I... never even imagined there was such a way..."

Nia's Taihou, though outwardly timid, is surprisingly pure-hearted.

Watching the two great phoenixes interact intimately from a distance, Xiaobai thought for a while but decided not to disturb them.

Xiao Bai looked around the square and quickly found the location of Super Big.

At the other entrance of the dormitory building, Chao Dahe was chatting with Saratoga and Nia, a tall, curvaceous ship girl with long silver hair.

"Hmm... are these two the real thing?" Saratoga asked, her arms crossed, a deep thought on her face, staring at the silver-haired ship girl's ample bosom.

"My apologies!" The silver-haired ship girl blushed, quickly covering her chest and straightening her tall figure as she hurriedly explained to Saratoga, "I am Vittorio Veneto, the glorious star of the Sardinian Empire! This is the noble flagship, how could I be a fraud..."

“But Veneto from our naval base is completely different from you…” Saratoga replied seriously, then held up her chest to indicate her height, “This is about this tall.”

"Huh? How, how could this be!" Veneto from Nia's family was stunned. "That height is like that of a destroyer..."

"Haha, she's a genuine battleship, super powerful..."

"But, but such a petite figure..."

"..."

Just then, Little White walked up to Saratoga with a smile.

"Saratoga, what are you talking about?"

"Little White?!" Saratoga's eyes lit up when she heard Little White's words, and she turned around. "Little White! You're back!"

"Yes, are you chatting with Veneto from Nia's family?" Xiaobai looked at Veneto from Nia's family with a smile.

"Admiral Lu Lin, welcome back!" Veneto of Nia's family bowed to Little White.

"Good afternoon." Xiaobai smiled, then looked at Chao Yamato next to her, "Chao Yamato, it's perfect that you're here too."

"Admiral?" Chao Yamato was taken aback. "Did you need something?"
