Elder brother's garrison

The ticket inspector gasped and stared wide-eyed.

Chapter 2816 The Happy Times Begin

After Xiaobai said this, the admirals present no longer harbored any resentment when they looked at Xiaobai and the other two.

The ticket inspectors and admirals were all speechless with shock.

Five percent?

She...she's not joking, is she?

Are you kidding me?

Everyone's eyes widened, and their gazes subconsciously shifted to the two ship girls behind Xiaobai, lingering on them.

As enthusiastic players who had spent several days accompanying the research construction machine in the third phase, the admirals present naturally understood just how terrifying a 5% progress in the research construction machine truly meant.

A destroyer can only increase the progress of research and construction machines by 0.01%. Even if it is a capital ship like a battleship, it can only increase the progress by about 0.05%. So if you want to increase the progress by 5% in one go, you would need a full five hundred destroyers or more than one hundred battleships!

Good heavens, this is Chapter Eight, where every inch of land is incredibly valuable!

This place is a hundred and eight thousand miles away from their respective naval bases. Every bite of food and drink, and even the rooms where the ship girls stay, are paid for with pure merit points. Not to mention that 99% of the admirals present could not possibly have so many ship girls, even if they did, who would bring so many ship girls with them, and who could afford to bring so many ship girls!

And most importantly—there are only two ship girls behind her!

How did she manage to get 500 ship girl progress points with just two ship girls? Even if you fed those two ship girls over and over again a hundred times, it would be impossible to get that much progress!

"Admiral...Admiral Lu Lin, are you...are you...sure?" Even the ticket inspector, whose backside was leaning towards Xiaobai, was sweating profusely with nervousness as she looked at the two ship girls behind Xiaobai. She couldn't help but swallow hard, then cautiously asked, "Um...First of all...I'm not doubting your words; I believe your words carry weight...but...um...could I confirm a little bit, that is...how did you feed them to five percent progress...?"

"Oh, about that?" Xiaobai glanced back at Anshan behind her, thought for a moment, and smiled at the ticket inspector. "It's nothing, I just happened to be here once in a while, so I dropped in some resources."

“Resources—oh…” The ticket inspector paused for a moment, then suddenly realized, “Ah…right, right, besides ship girls, you can also feed them resources…”

"What's wrong? Can't I just feed it resources?" Little White asked back.

"Yes, yes, of course you can." The ticket inspector nodded quickly, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and smiled at Xiaobai and the two ship girls behind her. "I'm so sorry to have taken up your time for such a small matter."

"If there's nothing else, we'll be going now," Xiaobai said with a smile.

The ticket inspector bowed repeatedly as she watched Xiaobai and the other two return to the admirals' ranks, blending into the crowd amidst the astonished gazes of the admirals, and leaving the scene.

"Huh...scared me to death."

The ticket inspector looked in the direction where Xiaobai and the other two had left, let out a long sigh, looked down at the form in her hand, and couldn't help but show a sentimental expression on her face.

I'm really something... to make such a fuss over something so trivial.

I've been receiving more admirals these past few days, and I almost forgot that research and construction machines consume resources in addition to ship girls.

Although the resource-feeding method has been labeled a pure waste of intelligence by the admirals in Chapter 8 compared to feeding ship girls, the vision of Admiral Lu Lin is on a completely different level from that of ordinary admirals, and they certainly cannot be generalized...

Thinking of this, the ticket inspector forced a helpless, bitter smile.

So this progress was built up with sheer resources... I wonder how much terrifying amount of resources were spent behind this 5% figure. I can only say that she truly lives up to the reputation of Admiral Lu Lin.

Thinking of this, the ticket inspector's gaze unconsciously swept over the admirals nearby.

Seeing the admirals nearby discussing amongst themselves, their faces filled with shock, the ticket inspector quickly frowned.

"What are you all talking about? What are you all talking about?! You've been talking all day, all afternoon, all night! Did you come here to participate in the event or to chat?! What were you doing when others were touching the research and construction machine?! A bunch of you are here being petty and complaining about how slow others are. You should at least be 5% slower! Talk less, do more, or people will look down on you!" The ticket inspector shouted at the admirals in front of him, slapping the railing with his booklet. "The research and construction machine is right there on the sea, it can't run away! Instead of questioning the truth of the matter here, why don't you row your boats out to sea and check it yourselves!"

Although the ticket inspector is not an admiral, she represents the supreme Admiral Guild.

The admirals present were so embarrassed by the reprimand that they couldn't lift their heads and remained silent for a long time.

Xiao Bai and his two companions left the beach where 8-1 was located without any hindrance.

"Today's mission can be considered a perfect success," Xiaobai murmured to himself as he walked, looking around at the surroundings. "Although it wasn't exactly my original plan... after the incident with Admiral Ninglu, there are far fewer spies following us on the street..."

"Why are there fewer of them?" Changchun walked to the side, curiously approaching Xiaobai and asking in a low voice.

"They probably know there's nothing left to investigate..." Xiaobai smiled at Changchun, covered her mouth, and whispered, "After all, we've already revealed enough information."

"Oh, oh, oh..." Changchun nodded, and smiled sweetly at Xiaobai, "Speaking of which, Admiral, why didn't you mention Anshan's matter when we landed?"

"It's better to avoid trouble," Xiaobai said, looking ahead. "Lianlian once told me that when you're unsure whether something is worth mentioning, you should first consider whether it's special to other people."

"Why?" Changchun asked curiously.

“Because it’s something too special, it might not be a good thing to talk about it.” Xiaobai looked at Changchun, her eyes sparkling with wisdom. “But not talking about it is definitely not a bad thing.”

"Oh! The admiral is so clever!"

“Lianlian is the smart one…and this matter is related to Anshan anyway…I really don’t want to tell anyone else about her being the first recipient of the research equipment.” Xiaobai said, then looked back at Anshan again.

Upon hearing this, Changchun turned around and looked at Anshan, understanding the unspoken message.

Anshan, walking behind Xiaobai and Changchun, was pulling at his collar, carefully lowering his head, and sniffing the scent inside his clothes.

Anshan walked along, talking to himself.

"After being swallowed by that thing for so long, I wonder if it will taste like the sea... Ugh... Oh no, I'm starting to remember that sticky feeling again..."

"Comrade, after we return to the naval base, I want to apply to be the first to go to the repair pool!"

"What scented shower gels do you have at your recovery pool? This is my first time using one!"

"Uh, it would be best to wash this outfit once... no, twice!"

……

Amidst the constant murmurs from Anshan, Xiaobai and his two companions returned to the temporary garrison headquarters.

Xiao Bai had just closed the gate of the temporary garrison and turned around. Before he could even look at the situation inside the courtyard, a shadow suddenly appeared from the side and pounced on him.

"Little White—you're back!"

The next second, a soft, warm embrace came into my arms.

According to rumors, Nia, who had severed ties with Xiaobai, tightly hugged Xiaobai's body. She rubbed against Xiaobai's chest, like a spoiled little monkey, and while rubbing against him, she uttered words overflowing with affection.

"Little White, why are you only coming back now? I've been waiting for you for so long!" Nia said, her eyes sparkling. "I've already had the ship girls prepare the repair pool. To keep you entertained while you soak, I even asked one of the ship girls to buy a bubble machine. Are you going now, or later? Or would you like to eat something first?"

"Nia, I'm back!"

"Hey, Xiaobai! I missed you so much!"

Xiaobai and Nia hugged each other tightly, and for a moment it seemed as if the air around them turned pink. Little red hearts bounced out of their arms with Nia's coquettishness and rubbing.

"Admiral Nia and the other admirals have such a good relationship..." Changchun sighed contentedly as he looked at the intimate scene between Xiaobai and Nia, and said to Anshan beside him, "The admirals outside all think that Admiral Nia is arguing with our admiral. I wonder what they will think if they see this scene now."

“I mean…” Anshan replied absentmindedly, pulling at her collar and pointing in the direction of the repair pool, asking Changchun, “Is the repair pool located over there?”

The desire for bathing in Anshan is almost overflowing.

"Sister Anshan, let me take you there." Changchun smiled at Anshan.

"That's great! I won't forgive you if you don't scrub my back today," Anshan said.

"Yes, I will. I'll listen to whatever you say today, Anshan sister," Changchun said with a smile.

"Hmph...that's more like it!" Anshan took Changchun's hand, and the sullen expression on his face improved considerably.

The eventful day is finally over.

The entire afternoon, Xiaobai, Changchun, and Anshan soaked in the restoration pool together, enjoying a wonderful time together.

Changchun and Anshan are missile destroyers. Although they are classified as main battle ships in terms of their offensive capabilities, they are still destroyers. Therefore, the speed of ship equipment repair is far greater than that of land-based ships like Xiaobai. Their ship equipment repair was completed in just a few hours after being immersed in the repair pool.

Chapter 2817 Sneaking into the Night with the Wind

"Speaking of which, why is it that ship girls whose ship equipment was eaten by the research and construction machine can only rely on the repair pool to restore their ship equipment?" After repairing the ship equipment, Changchun stood up by supporting herself on the edge of the repair pool. Just as she stepped onto the ground outside the pool, she suddenly seemed to remember something and turned back to ask Anshan and Xiaobai in the pool.

“Lianlian also guessed this, it’s probably because the degree of injury is different,” Xiaobai said, looking at Changchun’s snow-white body.

"The extent of the damage?" Changchun tilted his head, his wet white hair clinging to his cheeks, water droplets seeping onto his delicate collarbone.

"While the rapid repair devices are fast, to be honest, their repair efficiency is still somewhat inferior to that of the repair pool." Xiaobai rested her cheek on her hand, examining Changchun's slender waist and shapely thighs from bottom to top, and slowly said, "Of course, it's not that the rapid repair is inefficient. Well... normally, even for heavily damaged ships, the rapid repair devices are actually quite effective—it's just that the injuries caused by the research construction machine this time are different from ordinary combat injuries. The ship girls that were eaten by the research construction machine had their ship equipment not so much damaged, but rather completely dissolved and digested. So, if you want to get the ship equipment back, the repair-level power is naturally not enough; you need reconstruction-level repair power."

"So, to repair our ship equipment, we need a repair method of this strength as the repair pool?" With a whoosh, another snow-white and slender figure emerged from the other side of Xiaobai. Anshan, with her white hair tied into two white buns, rested her chin on her hand and asked Xiaobai.

"That's about right." Xiaobai nodded with a smile. "Although the repair pool is slow and inconvenient... it has stronger repair capabilities after all. It's just that this characteristic hasn't had many opportunities to be utilized before."

"Ah... I understand. To give an example, quick repair is like a convenient on-site repairman," Changchun said to Xiaobai. "And a repair pool is like going back to the factory to rebuild!"

"This example... well, it can't be said to be wrong."

"I see, now I understand." Changchun smiled at Xiaobai. As she said this, she looked at Xiaobai who was still soaking in the pool and sighed with some disappointment. "Alas... what a pity. I wanted to continue soaking in the repair pool with the admiral for a while... but my sister's and my ship equipment have been repaired."

"You can keep soaking."

"Once the ship girls have their ship equipment repaired, they have to leave the pool. This is a rule we've followed for many years." Although Changchun was somewhat hesitant, she still shook her head reluctantly and said to Xiaobai, "Even if I really want to spend some time with my sister and the admiral, we can't waste public resources meaninglessly."

"I don't mind..." Xiaobai looked at Changchun and muttered to herself.

Changchun, fresh from her bath, had her snow-white skin covered in transparent droplets from the repair pool. Although her figure was slender, the curves of her key areas were full and swayed as she dried her hair.

"Comrade... Haven't you had enough of looking at him?" Anshan, lying on the side, looked at Xiaobai's profile and teased with a raised eyebrow.

"Ahem." Xiaobai looked away, her face flushed, and asked Anshan, "Anshan, your ship equipment is repaired now, right?"

"Hmph, of course!"

Anshan gave Xiaobai a bright smile, then she gently jumped over the edge of the pool with both hands. With a splash, Anshan performed a perfect reverse dive, jumping directly from the pool into the air, spinning several times, and landing steadily next to Changchun.

Anshan picked up a bath towel, wrapped it around his body which was almost identical to Changchun's, and then turned around and gave Xiaobai a thumbs up.

"Comrade, thank you for your hospitality this afternoon!"

Xiao Bai waved to Anshan with a wry smile.

Anshan and Changchun dried themselves off and waved goodbye to Xiaobai with smiles.

"Admiral, then I'll be leaving with Sister Anshan..."

"Comrade, make sure you repair the ship's equipment properly. Changchun has been thinking about coming to your lodgings tonight after you've finished repairing it..."

"Ahhhhh, Anshan sister, we have to go, we have to go!"

Changchun pushed Anshan's shoulders and jogged towards the exit. Just before leaving, she turned back with a blush on her face and shyly waved to the little white fish in the pool.

"Um... Admiral... Ship equipment... get better soon, I'll be waiting for you."

Under Xiaobai's smiling gaze, Changchun and Anshan departed.

The bathroom has been restored to a state of tranquility.

Only the occasional dripping sound of water could be heard, rising and falling.

Xiao Bai leaned against the edge of the bathtub, tilted her head back, and slowly lowered herself, letting the hot water soak over her shoulders.

Xiao Bai reminisced about the three of them that afternoon.

so good……

Get your ship's equipment repaired quickly.

……

Repairing Xiaobai's land-based ship equipment by soaking it in a repair pool would take a considerable amount of time.

After Changchun and Anshan left, Xiaobai was a little lonely at first, but fortunately, she wasn't too lonely in the pool. Not long after Changchun and Anshan left, other ship girls who had finished their combat exercises came into the repair pool one after another, wrapped in bath towels, to keep Xiaobai company.

Among these ship girls are Missouri, Iowa, Veneto from Shiro's ship family who came in for the second time, Taihou from Shiro's ship family with a blushing face, and even Saratoga... It's as if these ship girls had planned it together. Two or three of them would come in at a time, and after the ship equipment was repaired, they would come in and out like a relay. In short, they didn't leave Shiro alone much.

Although Xiaobai was slightly surprised by this situation, they were all her own ship girls, so of course she wouldn't say anything.

Moreover, being able to see the perfect figures of the ship girls that are usually hidden under their beautiful clothes is a rare and precious experience for the admiral.

Using her exceptional memory, Xiaobai treasured these memories hidden in the misty white fog deep in her heart.

The process of repairing the ship's equipment was surprisingly enjoyable.

One thing worth mentioning is that when Xiaobai was browsing the Admiral Forum in the bathhouse, he discovered that the news that he had fed the research construction machine in Chapter 8-1 this afternoon and even fed it 5.01% of the progress in one go had spread like wildfire and caused quite a stir in the research ship girl community.

Besides marveling at their feat of using resources to achieve a mere 5% progress, some admirals on the forum also expressed regret for wasting resources and acting impulsively. They felt heartbroken and frustrated by the enormous amount of resources they had spent, and wondered whether such a huge amount of resources belonged to them or to others.

These speculative posts even went so far as to suggest that "Admiral Lu Lin did this to get revenge on Admiral Nia, so she took advantage of Admiral Nia's inattention and secretly took all of her resources and threw them into the research and construction machine, a childish act."

Xiaobai didn't know what to say about the admirals' reaction, so he could only smile wryly.

how to say.

This can be considered a pleasant surprise.

In any case, the more people outside think that their relationship with Nia is bad, the better and more smoothly their plans will go.

Xiao Bai ignored the rumor.
