"but?"
"But the courtyard house is so cool!" Jin Shiqi shouted, holding up half a bowl of fried rice.
"puff."
Upon hearing this, Xiaobai, who had just arrived behind the two admirals, couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle.
Upon hearing Xiaobai's laughter, the two male admirals who were chatting were startled and subconsciously turned around to look behind them.
Then, Jin Shiqi and Fang Jie saw Xiao Bai covering her mouth and smiling at them.
"Admiral Jin, you're as cheerful and humorous as ever," Xiao Bai said with a smile, putting down his hand and addressing Jin Shiqi and Fang Jie.
Xiao Bai's tone was relaxed and casual, as if he were talking to two old friends he had known for a long time.
However, compared to Xiaobai's relaxed attitude, the reactions of these two male admirals were at the other extreme.
The two male admirals stared blankly at Xiaobai, their gazes first filled with confusion and bewilderment, then with surprise and astonishment, and finally, in an instant, their eyes turned to terror.
"Admiral Lu Lin?!?!?!?!"
"You you you you you you you—"
"Why are you here?!"
The two male admirals jumped up from the ground with a whoosh.
Chapter 2915 Getting Busy
It seems that Admiral Fang Jie and Admiral Jin Shiqi are still not quite used to Xiaobai's status as the world's number one admiral.
However, Xiaobai can understand this point, after all, in the rumors of Chapter 8, he has long been transformed into a monster.
"Good morning, Admiral Fang Jie and Admiral Jin Shiqi." Xiao Bai waved to the two of them.
Just as Admiral Fang Jie and Admiral Jin Shiqi called out Xiaobai's name, the light cruiser ship girl who had just led Xiaobai to the cafeteria entrance widened her eyes and her face turned as white as paper.
"You...you...you were Admiral Lu Lin all along, the one who was number one in the world..."
The light cruiser girl retreated several steps in fear, trembling as she looked at Xiaobai.
Xiaobai smiled at the light cruiser ship girl.
"I'm also a friend of your admiral." Xiaobai was already exhausted by the rumors about her, and didn't want to explain too much. She simply smiled and said to the light cruiser girl.
The light cruiser girl listened to Xiaobai's words in a panic. She swallowed hard and glanced nervously at Jin Shiqi.
After Jin Shiqi nodded solemnly to the light cruiser ship girl, the light cruiser ship girl felt as if she had been granted a pardon and hurriedly bowed to Xiaobai.
"It's very nice to meet you! Well, well... I... I have work to do, so I... I won't stay with you any longer!" The light cruiser ship girl said this and left as if she were fleeing for her life.
Xiaobai looked helplessly at the light cruiser girl's back, sighed, and turned to look at Jin Shiqi.
"Admiral Lu, what wind... blew you here?" Jin Shiqi and Fang Jie exchanged a glance, then nervously swallowed and asked in a low voice.
"Can't I come and check on things if I have nothing to do?" Xiaobai asked with a smile.
“Uh…” Jin Shiqi and Fang Jie stood there, stunned.
Xiao Bai's words left the two of them completely stumped.
“You…you’re right…” Jin Shiqi scratched his head, awkwardly holding up his rice bowl, and asked Xiaobai, “Admiral Lu…Admiral Lu Lin? Have you eaten? Would you like some?”
"Hey! Don't feed Admiral Lu Lin this cheap fried rice!" Fang Jie, who was standing nearby, was startled. He quickly grabbed Jin Shiqi and apologized awkwardly to Xiao Bai, "Admiral Lu Lin! No, I'm sorry! Jin Shiqi is a bit out of his mind. I'll give him a good scolding for you! Um... uh, just tell us what you'd like to eat, and we'll go prepare it for you right away!"
"I've already had breakfast." Xiaobai smiled at the two male admirals. "You two don't need to be so polite to me... Didn't I say before? We're friends."
"……this……"
As soon as Xiaobai finished speaking, Jin Shiqi and Fang Jie immediately showed embarrassed and troubled expressions.
Xiao Bai did indeed say those things to them.
However... on the other hand, Fang Jie and Jin Shiqi also realized one thing at the same time: while Xiao Bai certainly had the right to say these words to them, they themselves did not have the right to bear this favor.
After all, the world's number one admiral... is just too far removed from them.
So distant was Xiaobai's goodwill that it could be considered a debt of gratitude to them.
That's a difference that can't be explained in just a few words.
Admiral Lu Lin is like the moon in the sky, while Fang Jie and Jin Shiqi are like mortals on earth. Their only point of intersection was that the full moon had a sudden whim to descend to the mortal realm and pretend to be ordinary people for a period of time. Now that Admiral Lu Lin has regained her title as the world's number one admiral, the moment her identity is revealed to the public, the fate of Jin Shiqi, Fang Jie, and Xiao Bai should have come to an end.
That's why Jin Shiqi and Fang Jie were so shocked by Xiao Bai's sudden visit.
Looking at Fang Jie and Jin Shiqi's expressions, Xiao Bai seemed to be able to sense their thoughts from their expressions.
Xiao Bai could only smile slightly at them.
"Fine, I won't force you," Xiaobai said.
"Thank you, Admiral Lu Lin..." Fang Jie and Jin Shiqi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
"Let me get straight to the point," Xiaobai raised his hand to the two male admirals and continued, "Actually, I came to see you this time because of some certain matters."
"Oh?!" Jin Shiqi and Fang Jie stared wide-eyed at Xiaobai. "Is it...is it about what?"
"Admiral Jin Shiqi, if my information is correct, you should have once ranked eleventh in the world, right?" Xiaobai asked Jin Shiqi. "Is that true?"
"Uh...yes!" Jin Shiqi nodded quickly.
"When was that?"
Two years ago...?
"Two years ago..." Xiao Bai stroked his chin thoughtfully, looked at Jin Shiqi, and laughed.
Seeing Xiaobai's smile, for some reason, Jin Shiqi and Fang Jie subconsciously shuddered.
The two looked at each other.
His eyes were filled with panic.
broken.
Could it be that... Admiral Lu Lin has her eye on my naval base?
Thinking of this, even Jin Shiqi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Xiao Bai seemed to ignore Jin Shiqi's reaction. She simply smiled and continued to ask Jin Shiqi, "Admiral Jin Shiqi, since you once reached the eleventh position in the world, you must have experienced the glory of being among the top ten admirals, right? So, have you ever practiced with Admiral Duan Shuiliu?"
"We've rehearsed it..."
"How does it feel?"
"...It's like a difference in strength between two dimensions," Jin Shiqi answered honestly.
"It seems that you, Admiral Jin Shiqi, have also suffered quite a bit at the hands of Sister Duan."
"Uh..." Jin Shiqi smiled awkwardly.
"So, Admiral Jin Shiqi," Xiao Bai suddenly asked Jin Shiqi at this moment, "If... now, there is an opportunity in front of you that allows you to further appreciate the style of the top ten admirals, would you be willing to give it a try?"
"Uh?"
Upon hearing Xiaobai's words, Jin Shiqi and Fang Jie froze on the spot.
They stared at Xiaobai, dumbfounded!
"Admiral Lu...Admiral Lu Lin? What do you mean by that?"
"Hmm...it seems I wasn't clear enough." Xiao Bai smiled at Fang Jie and Jin Shiqi. "Then let me be more direct, Admiral Jin Shiqi."
Xiao Bai stretched out his hand and pointed at Jin Shiqi, who looked completely bewildered.
"Admiral Jin Shiqi, would you like to... become one of the top ten admirals of the next generation?"
Xiao Bai's voice echoed in the courtyard of the traditional courtyard house.
The courtyard was completely silent for a moment.
Xiao Bai lowered his hand and looked at the two male admirals in front of him with a smile.
Upon hearing Xiaobai's words, Admiral Fang Jie and Admiral Jin Shiqi stood frozen in place like statues.
It took Jin Shiqi a long while to gasp and come to his senses.
"...Huh? Wait, Admiral Lu Lin...a top ten admiral?? Me??" Jin Shiqi pointed at himself, utterly bewildered, and said, "The next generation of top ten admirals? Me?"
“Yes.” Xiaobai nodded.
"..." Jin Shiqi remained silent, scratching his head and looking at Xiaobai with a puzzled expression. "Admiral Lu Lin... I don't quite understand what you mean... Aren't all the top ten admirals doing well? Why do you suddenly want me to be the next one? Besides... to be honest, while I'm definitely ranked seventeenth in the world, the level of a top ten admiral is simply beyond my capabilities..."
“Admiral Jin Shiqi, you don’t need to worry about so much.” Xiao Bai shook his head and continued to say to Jin Shiqi, “Just tell me if you want to seize this opportunity.”
"..." Jin Shiqi looked at Xiaobai with a fixed gaze, "...I want to."
Every admiral wants to be among the top ten.
This applies even to the goofy admiral Jin Shiqi.
Xiao Bai nodded in satisfaction after hearing Jin Shiqi's reply.
“Admiral Jin Shiqi, since you want to…” Xiaobai said to Jin Shiqi, “then tomorrow morning, bring your best ship girl fleet to the temporary naval base to find me.”
"Admiral Lu Lin?"
"I'll be in charge of training your ship girls until they're good enough to be ranked in the world's top ten." Xiaobai turned around and waved to Jin Shiqi. "Well, today's preparations are up to you. Remember not to be too late tomorrow morning. If you don't come, then I'll just have to assume you've given up this opportunity."
Xiao Bai did not stay in Jin Shiqi's garrison for long.
After giving his final instructions, Xiaobai said goodbye to the two male admirals and left.
Dealing with someone as straightforward as Jin Shiqi is so easy.
As Xiaobai left the Jinshiqi Naval Base, he turned back and looked at the gleaming gold characters "World's Seventeenth Naval Base" carved on the entrance of the courtyard, and couldn't help but smile.
Xiao Bai took out his phone and dialed a number.
The call went through quickly.
"Hello! This is Ninglu Newspaper!" Ninglu's lively voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Miss Ning Lu, it’s me,” Xiao Bai said.
"Oh? Admiral Lu Lin! Is there something you need to tell me?"
"The last spot for the top ten admiral has been decided." Xiaobai said with a smile into the phone. "Miss Ninglu, we'll be starting our special training to become a top ten admiral tomorrow... Remember to bring your most confident squad of assault ship girls to my temporary naval base tomorrow morning."
"Huh? It's starting so soon! Great, great!"
On the other end of the phone, Ning Lu responded with delight.
Xiaobai hung up the phone, took a long breath, put her phone back in her clothes, and then let out a long sigh of relief.
Little White raised its head and looked at the sky.
The sky was a clear, bright blue, with sunshine and drifting white clouds.
"...Tomorrow, I'll be busy again."
Xiaobai couldn't suppress the smile on her face. She looked at the sky with a smile and murmured to herself.
Chapter 2916 Asking for a Hug
After arranging the training time with Jin Shiqi and Ning Lu for tomorrow, Xiao Bai felt relieved.
"Although tomorrow will be busy, there's still nothing to do today..." Xiaobai walked down the street, her hands behind her back, watching the admirals and ship girls coming and going, her expression relaxed and content. "Hmm... there's nothing to do at this time if I go back to the temporary naval base, so I might as well go out and find something to do... Hmm... the other top ten admirals should have already set off for the 8-3 sea area by now, right?"
Xiao Bai muttered to himself as he arrived at this place, a hint of interest flashing in the corner of his eye.
Speaking of which, I promised the top ten admirals yesterday that I would find time to visit them in the 8-3 sea area.
Since I have some free time today, let's do it now.
do as promised.
After deciding on his next itinerary, Xiaobai headed towards the 8-3 sea area.
After a two-hour journey, Xiaobai arrived at the 8-3 sea area as he wished.
This was Xiaobai's first time in this sea area. When Xiaobai arrived at the 8-3 sea area, he saw a very spacious, dark beach with no people around. The waves kept crashing against the shore in the distance. Xiaobai looked towards the sea and found that there were only five figures gathered together in twos and threes.
Ok.
Those four or five figures looked very familiar.
They are Admiral Haoding, Admiral Nanxing, Admiral Lian, Admiral Ling, and Admiral Duan Shuiliu, whom we haven't seen for a day.
