Elder brother's garrison

Page 1877

"Get up quickly, everyone on the beach is watching you."

"..."

"Oh no! The admiral ahead has been murdered by a treacherous villain..."

"What?! Watch me make my heroic entrance!" Jin Shiqi roared as he jumped out of the sandpit, his golden hair kicking up clouds of sand. His sharp eyes scanned the surroundings for any sign of evil. "Where are the bad guys?"

But Jin Shiqi searched for a long time and found that the beach area was peaceful and there was nothing there that Admiral Fang Jie had mentioned.

"Sigh... Brother Fang, I wonder if you've ever heard the story of the boy who cried wolf..." Jin Shiqi lowered his hands in disappointment and turned to Admiral Fang Jie to say.

"I just couldn't get you to come up with anything." Admiral Fang Jie shrugged at Jin Shiqi. "Speaking of which, aren't you ranked eighteenth in the world? How come you were kicked away by someone else's ship girl before you could even get a word in edgewise?"

"Seventeen! How many times have I said it? I am Seventeen!" Jin Seventeen hurriedly squatted down and repeated it to Admiral Fang Jie over and over again. Then, he beat his chest and stomped his feet, saying, "My naval base is number seventeen, that's because my girl is number seventeen in the world, it doesn't mean that I, the admiral, am good at fighting! Sigh! My girl is still in the 8-2 area! I just wanted to come here today to say hello to you, Brother Fang, but who knew that I would run into the villains who stole your manuscript. I originally wanted to go up and argue with them, to use words to awaken the last bit of conscience in those two female admirals, but who knew that they didn't even give me a chance to speak and directly sent the ship girls to frame me!"

At this point, Jin Shiqi grimaced and complained incessantly.

Phrases like "they don't play by the rules," "young people don't have martial ethics," and "in war, envoys are not to be killed" came out of his mouth one after another.

"Sigh..." Admiral Fang Jie sighed again as he looked at Jin Shiqi's expression.

"Hey, Brother Fang, why are you sighing so much during our conversation?" Jin Shiqi asked Fang Jie, the admiral, with curiosity.

"I'm not sighing, I just feel helpless," Admiral Fang Jie shook his head.

"So it really is because the manuscript was stolen that you're so upset! Brother Fang, don't worry, I'll take care of this. After I rest for a bit, I'll go to node 8-2 to call my ship girls. Don't worry, my ship girls aren't like me; they're all top-tier 17 ship girls in the world. As long as I bring them along, those two young female admirals definitely won't be able to harm you again..."

"Alright, alright, you should take a rest first." Looking at Jin Shiqi's confident expression, Admiral Fang finally realized that explaining to this idiot would be a waste of energy. In order to calm him down, Admiral Fang simply went along with what he was saying.

Admiral Fang Jie's words were merely a temporary measure to get Jin Shiqi to cause trouble for Xiaobai and Nia, and to give him some peace and quiet.

But when it reached Jin Shiqi's ears, it instantly brought tears to his eyes.

"Oh! Brother Fang, you're so kind to me!" Jin Shiqi stared blankly at Admiral Fang Jie, deeply moved.

"...Damn it, how have I ever been good to you!"

“You’re different from everyone else; you actually let me rest.”

"...How do other people usually treat you?"

"They usually tell me to get lost."

"..." Admiral Fang Jie looked at Jin Shiqi in silence for a long time before speaking, "Actually, I think what they said makes a lot of sense."

"Brother Fang, why?"

"Sigh... You rest here, I need to do my homework." Admiral Fang Jie lost interest, stood up, and started packing his things to walk towards the other side of the beach. "I still have to wait for some friends; we agreed to solve the research shipgirl exam questions together today..."

　"What? Brother Fang, you actually have friends!"

"...Why do you talk so rudely?"

"Brother Fang, this is a rare opportunity. Why don't you introduce me to them as well?"

Admiral Fang Jie and Admiral Jin Shiqi walked along the beach, one after the other. Admiral Fang Jie carried a backpack and walked with a dark face, while Jin Shiqi followed closely behind him, talking non-stop.

"Brother Fang, after spending some time together, I've found you to be a very easy person to get along with!"

"I wonder how old Brother Fang is this year? If we two are to become sworn brothers, we should at least distinguish who is older and who is younger!"

"Brother Fang, why don't you speak?"

"Brother Fang, are you still worried about the manuscript? You can rest assured and leave this matter to me!"

"I wonder if Brother Fang is married?"

"Brother Fang, you've misunderstood. I'm not gay, but as the seventeenth-ranked admiral in the world, if you have a girl you're mutually attracted to, I'd be willing to act as your matchmaker and help you get together..."

"Brother Fang, say something, Brother Fang."

"Brother Fang, speaking of which, I found a really good seafood barbecue restaurant near the Admiral's Guild..."

"square……"

Jin Shiqi kept talking to Admiral Fang Jie the whole way.

The admirals on the beach looked at the two admirals and couldn't help but cast pitying glances at Fang Jie.

Poor Admiral Fang Jie... Not only did his manuscript get stolen, but he's also getting entangled with this infamous goofball admiral from Chapter 8...

……

While all the admirals on the beach were focused on Fang Jie and Jin Shiqi, Xiao Bai and Nia, under the protection of the ship girls, stepped onto the water and slowly made their way to the research and construction machine on the sea.

There were a few unfamiliar ship girls scattered around in front of the research and construction machine. These ship girls were holding paper and pen, carefully copying down the test questions projected on the technology lock.

Upon seeing Xiaobai and her group approach, the ship girls merely glanced at them before resuming their full focus on copying the exam questions.

"There weren't any ship girls here when we came last time."

Sitting in Littorio's lap, Xiaobai watched the ship girls copying down the test questions and couldn't help but mutter to herself.

"I guess they're the ship girls from those admirals who mocked us yesterday," Nia said, looking at the ship girls as Veneto picked her up. "They eventually found out from Admiral Fang Jie that the questions were wrong, so this morning they sent their respective ship girls over to personally copy a copy of the questions before going back."

"Seeing Admiral Lu Lin herself here, don't these ship girls even have the slightest thought of apologizing on behalf of their admiral?" Des Moines frowned, looking at these ship girls who ignored her, her expression somewhat unhappy. "At least when they see Admiral Lu Lin, they should come up and bow their heads or something."

"Forget it, they weren't here yesterday, so they don't know us," Xiaobai said with a smile. "Besides, let's not involve ship girls in the grudges between admirals."

"Admiral, you have a broad mind!" Upon hearing Xiaobai's words, Changchun immediately moved closer to Littorio with admiration, smiling at Xiaobai in her arms.

"The rumors in Chapter Eight that the world's number one admiral is narrow-minded, vindictive, and repays evil with kindness now seem to be nothing but empty lies." Littorio smiled and lowered his head, saying to the little white in his arms, "Admiral Lu Lin's magnanimity is something that ordinary people in this chapter can hardly match."

"It's just a small matter..." Xiaobai smiled and leaned shyly against Littorio's full and soft breasts.

The research exam questions were filled with a massive amount of complex numbers, making them extremely time-consuming to copy down for the average person. Xiaobai and her group waited nearby for about half an hour before the ship girls finally finished copying the questions. They then wiped away sweat, carefully stuffed the exam papers into their ship equipment space, and prepared to leave.

As these ship girls passed by Xiaobai, they curiously stopped and turned their gaze to Xiaobai and Nia, who were being carried to the surface of the sea by the ship girls.

"Excuse me... are you also here to copy the exam questions?" A ship girl looked at Xiaobai and Nia and asked curiously.

“Yes,” Xiaobai replied.

“…I see…” The ship girl nodded. After thinking for a moment, she said to Shiro, “It seems you also know about the set of exam papers circulating on the beach…”

"Hey! Shh, don't say it!" Before the ship girl could finish speaking, another ship girl quickly covered her mouth. "Our admiral said that this matter cannot be spread!"

"Hmm? Hmm..."

Xiaobai and his group couldn't help but smile as they looked at the mysterious ship girls in front of them.

Xiaobai ignored the ship girls and had Littorio lead her to the research questions. She picked up the combination lock and turned the lock to the password input screen.

Chapter 2611 The Reward for the First Lock

The research questions are very difficult, and therefore the steps to solve them are extremely complicated.

Even with Luo Lian's skill level, after organizing and simplifying the answers to the research questions to the extreme, she could only barely condense hundreds of pages of data into a dozen pages.

Xiao Bai held the combination lock in one hand and extended his index finger with the other, writing the answer on the palm-sized handwriting screen of the combination lock.

The sea was unusually calm today.

The sea breeze blew, causing Xiaobai's white hair to fly to the side, but none of this affected the speed at which Xiaobai wrote down the answers.

Not far away, the ship girls who had finished copying the first tech lock test question were about to leave, but they were attracted by Xiaobai's actions after taking only a few steps.

"Huh? Wasn't that admiral here to copy the exam questions? Why isn't she copying them anymore? She's just writing things down in the tech key." A ship girl stopped in her tracks, looking at Xiaobai's actions with a puzzled expression. "...Could she be writing down the answers?"

"Could it be that she solved the scientific research exam?" Another ship girl exclaimed, her eyes wide.

"How could that be? Even the fastest progressers on the beach are still missing at least two or three questions. I think this admiral is just randomly guessing."

"These aren't multiple choice questions; they're all proof and calculation questions. How am I supposed to guess?"

"And she's writing so fast! Could it really be...? Should we go up and take a look?"

The ship girls looked at each other, then cautiously approached Shiro.

But before the ship girls could reach Littorio and Veneto, three figures suddenly blocked their way.

"No loitering." Cleveland bowed, watching the ship girls warily.

"If you take one more step closer, I can interpret it as you intending to do something inappropriate to my two admirals." Des Moines also stared at the approaching ship girls with great hostility. She already had a bad impression of these ship girls, and the reason she didn't react before was only because Xiaobai persuaded her. If these ship girls in front of her didn't know what was good for them, she wouldn't mind settling old scores with new ones.

"Dear ladies, I'm very sorry, but my admiral doesn't like having unfamiliar ship girls around." Changchun bowed to the ship girls with an apologetic smile. "So, could you please keep your distance a little?"

The ship girls who tried to approach were immediately refuted and blushed.

"Hey...you guys are so unreasonable..."

"Hmph, fine, I won't look then. It's just entering the answer!"

"Anyway, your admiral probably just filled in the answer randomly!"

"I don't want to watch, I'm leaving!"

The ship girls grumbled and retreated, but still stood guard not far away, cautiously watching Xiaobai's side.

Cleveland, Des Moines, and Changchun kept their eyes fixed on their hands and feet, signaling to each other that they were watching their movements.

"These ship girls have been staying here the whole time, are they planning something bad?" Nia cautiously clung to Veneto's shoulder, glancing at the ship girls in the distance, and whispered, "What if they try to steal the answer...?"

"Don't worry, they won't." Xiaobai smiled when she heard this. "Unlocking the first technological lock is a good thing for the whole beach. It means that the admirals on the beach can start from the same starting line to unlock the second technological lock, so they won't stop us."

"Oh..." Nia nodded, thought for a moment, but then paused, "Eh? If that's the case, Xiaobai, aren't you at a huge disadvantage?"

"Huh? What did you lose?"

"You were the one who unlocked the technology, so why do all the admirals on the beach have to share your achievements?"

"There's nothing we can do about it..." Xiaobai pursed her lips, but her hands didn't stop moving.

“…I feel this is so unfair…” Nia muttered softly.

"..." Xiaobai smiled slightly as she looked at Nia's dejected expression.

The unfamiliar ship girls in the distance, standing on tiptoe and gazing at Xiaobai's side, all looked on with eager anticipation.

Xiaobai's input of answers lasted for about ten minutes.

With Xiaobai's accurate and rapid input, the densely packed solution process, spanning more than ten pages, was entered into the smart lock word for word.

Xiaobai finished writing the last word, breathed a sigh of relief, and released the technological lock.

The technological lock, covered with questions, gently tapped on the metal casing of the research and construction machine.

"Finished writing?!" In the distance, the unfamiliar ship girls who had been watching the situation immediately widened their eyes and perked up.

"This person wrote her answer for a long time..."

"Now we'll know whether it's true or false..."

The admirals and ship girls present waited for about several tens of seconds.

Under the distant gaze of the unfamiliar ship girls, the tech lock, filled with the solution steps, fell back onto the metal shell. For a moment, the entire research and construction machine was quiet, seemingly without any reaction.

"Ugh... it really was a lie... I knew it couldn't possibly have solved the problem..."

"That was just a bluff."

"Our time has been wasted..."

The unfamiliar ship girls sighed.

But just as the ship girls sighed, Shiro, lying in Littorio's arms, looked at the research and construction machine in front of her and smiled.

"Crack!"

The first technological lock detached with a crisp sound.

Sudden changes occur.

"boom"

Suddenly, a surge of energy erupted from the scientific research construction machine, instantly transforming into a pink pillar of light.

A pink beam of light shot up from the ground and soared into the sky.

The sea churned instantly, with wave after wave spreading wildly in all directions from the research and construction machine as the center.

The unfamiliar ship girls on the sea were shocked, and even after summoning their ship equipment, they could not stand firm and were slammed down by wave after wave.

“Wha…what??”

"She really unlocked the first lock!"

"This, this is impossible..."
