Elder brother's garrison

Page 191

"Admiral, what do you think?" Veneto turned around and asked Xiaobai.

At this moment, Xiaobai was leaning on the floor with a look of despair, his eyes blank as if he had lost his soul.

"I'll never grow up... I'll never grow up... I'll never grow up..." Xiaobai muttered resentfully.

"Admiral?" Veneto called again.

"Huh?" Xiaobai raised her head.

“Could the garrison offer Sukhbaatar a leisurely position, the kind where you don’t have to work but still get fed?” Veneto asked.

“…Yes, I do.” Xiaobai nodded.

Sukhbaatar couldn't even beat Fubuki, and she didn't seem to have much fighting ability. Even if there was work for her, she might not be able to do it well. However, her knowledge and experience were indeed helpful to her.

If we consider it as supporting a customer, the naval base can afford it.

“Look, even our admiral has agreed,” Veneto said to Sukhbaatar. “Look how much sincerity we’ve shown, shouldn’t you reciprocate? Besides, if you feel it’s not right, we can talk about leaving.”

"I...I'm not someone who can be swayed by small sums of money and good treatment..."

"By the way, the salary for our garrison is..." Veneto whispered a string of numbers into Sukhbaatar's ear.

Xiao Bai could see that as Veneto finished speaking, Sukhbaatar's eyes instantly turned into a "¥" shape.

"Okay! Sure! No problem! I'll work for you! Consider it a favor I'm doing you a favor for, hahaha!" Sukhbaatar stood up abruptly, hands on his hips, laughing wildly.

—It seems that even the world's number one ship girl must eventually succumb to the power of money.

"Come on, little girl, link with me!" Sukhbaatar said, pointing at Xiaobai. "Let's start calculating your salary from today when you link! By the way, does your company have a rule about advance salary payments?"

After listening to Veneto's words, Sukhbaatar was a completely different person compared to before.

It's a good thing that Sukhbaatar can link with me. After all, even someone as unsuspecting as Xiaobai would feel a little scared if someone who isn't one of us knew about my ship equipment.

Xiaobai released his admiral network, extending it towards Sukhbaatar.

Xiaobai smoothly connected with Sukhbaatar.

Everything went incredibly smoothly.

Even Sukhbaatar didn't show any discomfort when the connection was established. He accepted the admiral's network with his small body without even releasing his ship equipment.

"Connection complete." Xiaobai retracted its ship equipment.

"Oh, yes, I feel it." Sukhbaatar looked at her hands, smiled at Little White, and said, "Please take care of me in the future."

"kindness."

"Let me make this clear first, I'm not treating you like an admiral. This is just a formality to exchange for your naval base's salary, as we agreed before. If you force me to do anything later, I'll be very angry," Sukhbaatar said to Xiaobai, holding up a finger.

"No, thank you for joining our garrison, Lord Su."

"Hmm."

Xiao Bai looked at Sukhbaatar with some curiosity.

This is the first ship girl who, when connected to her admiral's network, hadn't even released her ship equipment.

In the past, ship girls linked to Xiaobai would experience adverse reactions such as difficulty breathing because their ship equipment could not support Xiaobai's massive admiral network. This discomfort could not be eliminated even after Xiaobai skillfully controlled the admiral network through Pachina's mental power.

But Sukhbaatar showed no adverse reaction whatsoever, as if he were simply standing there letting a gentle breeze blow on him.

—This ship girl is indeed extraordinary.

Seeing that the connection was successful, Veneto finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They used every trick in the book to lure Sukhbaatar into their garrison.

"Well, what about my perks?" After the connection was established, Sukhbaatar showed no hesitation whatsoever. She stretched out her hand to Xiaobai, rubbing three fingers together, her eyes filled with the shape of a dollar sign.

So they're starting to ask for advances on their salaries.

Xiao Bai opened his wallet with a forced smile.

Fortunately, she had been an admiral for several months and had a considerable amount of cash on her. Otherwise, she really wouldn't have been able to come up with the salary to pay Sukhbaatar.

"If you're asking for an advance, I can only give you a portion of your salary." Xiaobai took out all the banknotes from his wallet, made up a random number, and handed it to Sukhbaatar.

"Oh ho ho, sure, sure!" Sukhbaatar stretched out his little hand, took the large stack of banknotes handed to him, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Sukhbaatar didn't actually have much money.

Although she could go without food or water, and wasn't worried about shelter or supplies, money was like a jewel in a dragon's lair—even if it was useless, it was still very appealing.

Xiao Bai turned to Veneto and quietly asked, "Veneto, what was the salary you offered Lord Su?"

“The salary for a heavy cruiser,” Veneto replied.

Heavy cruiser salaries are decent, much lower than those of battleships, battlecruisers, and carriers; it's not that they can't afford it.

Xiao Bai thought to himself as he looked at his empty wallet.

"Ah, I'm going back to pack my things now. Just call me when you're heading back to the naval base, from the restaurant on the beach at noon." Sukhbaatar skillfully counted the stack of small coins and said cheerfully to Xiaobai.

Although she is nominally Shiro's ship girl, she doesn't really help Shiro conquer the seas, and her hometown is still here. Before Shiro leaves the first chapter of the seas, Sukhbaatar prefers to stay at home.

Anyway, she had already connected with Xiaobai, so Xiaobai wasn't worried that she would suddenly turn her back on him or run away.

"Okay, I'll come find you again tomorrow." Sukhbaatar put away the small amount of money, walked to the door, and waved to Little White.

"Bye-bye." Everyone in the little white house smiled and saw them off.

Sukhbaatar left the room amidst everyone's smiles.

Sukhbaatar left the inn with a smile on his face and a happy look on his face as he touched his bulging pockets.

What a fruitful day!

Not only did I witness so many interesting things, but I also got a job where I could earn a little money without doing anything.

It was so awesome!

Sukhbaatar skipped and hopped toward the sea.

It was getting late. When she arrived at the hotel, the sun was setting, but by the time she left, it was almost night.

Night falls, and visibility begins to blur. The deep-sea destroyers gradually reveal their fangs. At this time, the admirals and ship girls who have worked hard in the sea all day are preparing to return to their residences.

Sukhbaatar walked against the flow of people, continuing with his carefree and happy expression, back the way the admirals had come.

The first node.

Second node.

The third node.

Fourth node.

Sukhbaatar eventually reached the beach at the fourth node.

By this time, the night view on the beach had gradually become dark, and the distant sea looked as if it had been dyed with black ink, with not a single ray of light able to pass through.

Sukhbaatar stretched.

"Um"

Then she walked towards the sea.

Just like any other ship girl, she waded through the water, slowly making her way deeper into the fourth node.

The night in the disaster-stricken deep sea area is extremely dangerous, and even highly trained ship girls dare not wander around there at night.

Sukhbaatar hummed a song as he sailed across the sea, completely oblivious to the fact that he was soon enveloped in black mist.

Pairs of cold, red eyes lit up around her, then went out.

Sukhbaatar acted as if he hadn't seen anything and continued walking.

The patrolling deep-sea ships showed no hostility toward Sukhbaatar and allowed her to pass by.

Finally, Sukhbaatar reached the depths of the fourth node.

The depths of the fourth node are where the aura of the deep sea is most abundant in the entire first chapter, and this is where the strongest deep sea in the first chapter is located.

In the darkness, these deep-sea ships, glowing with a blood-red light, exuded a menacing aura that warned others to stay away from their territory.

Sukhbaatar walked past them.

She walked towards the end of the fourth node.

After walking several hundred meters, the view suddenly opened up.

The scent of the deep sea gradually faded.

Beyond the fourth node lies the normal ocean.

Sukhbaatar eventually arrived at a normal sea area, where she found a large ship floating nearby and went aboard through the entrance.

"I'm back!"

Sukhbaatar raised his hands and threw himself onto his bed.

The ship has a kitchen, a bedroom, and a living room, and is decorated like a home.

Sukhbaatar took a breath.

This is her home.

Chapter 242 The Boundary of the Sea, Behind the Fourth Node.

The blind spot of a home in the deep sea.

The House of Sukhbaatar, which claims to be the fifth node.

Sukhbaatar put the stack of small coins that Xiaobai had given her in his room, then ran happily to the bow of the boat, picked up a fishing rod, and silently started fishing while gazing at the moonlight.

"Hehehe—if I wait here for a few more days, I'll probably have to say goodbye to the boat. It's okay, don't panic, I'll be back in a hundred years, hehe." Sukhbaatar said to himself with a cheerful expression, holding his fishing rod. "Or I'll come and see you when I come back from a business trip."

Chapter 243 Today, Lord Su is as weak as ever.

The ship where Sukhbaatar lived was the place where she had lived for over a hundred years.

Near the edge of the sea area in the first chapter, beyond which lies the normal ocean, Sukhbaatar guards the equal cooperation and non-aggression of the creatures in both sea areas.

Sitting at the bow of the boat, Sukhbaatar watched the fishing line swaying on the water under the moonlight, a look of contentment on his face.

She seemed to be saying something like, "Life today is as peaceful as ever," with a sense of melancholy.

"Life today is just like any other day..." Sukhbaatar opened his mouth to himself, preparing to deliver the line in his head in a cool and stylish manner.

But she had only spoken halfway when an unusual aura emanated from the seemingly normal sea area in the distance.

"Huh?" Sukhbaatar sat at the bow of the ship, looking carefully toward the horizon.

That's the sea area beyond the fourth node, not part of the deep-sea disaster zone.

At this moment, the bright moonlight was shining on the calm sea, and the shimmering water was incredibly peaceful and serene.

Sukhbaatar looked at the sea, her brows furrowing slightly. She walked to the mast at the bow of the ship, stood on tiptoe, and gazed into the distance.

A few minutes passed.

As if some enormous serpent was writhing underground, a strange, tiny vibration came from the seabed to the surface.

"Gurgle gurgle gurgle..."

"boom!"

Suddenly, a loud explosion occurred, a huge sound coming from just a few dozen meters directly in front of Sukhbaatar's ship.

With this sound, the entire sea surface began to tremble.

Waves crashed in all directions, one after another.

"Waaaaah!" Sukhbaatar's small boat became unstable with the waves, and she quickly grabbed the side of the boat, covered her head with her little hat, and squatted down.

The instant Sukhbaatar crouched down, a huge mechanical whale burst forth from the sea with a thunderous roar, as if a bomb had been detonated.

"Haha ...

A golden mechanical whale, the size of a cruise ship, burst from the bottom of the sea and soared into the air.

Atop the whale's head sat a scantily clad, white-haired girl.

That string of wanton laughter came from the young girl.

"boom!!!"
