Xiao Bai quickly arrived in front of the top ten admirals.
"Good morning, Sister Lian!" Xiaobai greeted Admiral Lian with a smile. "Everyone seems to be in a good mood today. Did something good happen?"
"Hehe, little cutie, you noticed that already?" Admiral Lian chuckled, putting her hands on her hips. "That's right, something good has indeed happened! It's really, really good news!"
"What good news?" Xiaobai asked with a smile, tilting her head.
"The good news is—we've discovered that the sea area map isn't malfunctioning anymore!" Admiral Lian pulled out the map and said, very moved. "Little cutie, look! We even used our patrol ship girls to check this morning, and today's 8-3 sea area is exactly the same as yesterday's!"
"Wow... does that mean the malfunction of the sea map is finally over?"
Xiao Bai put his hands together and said with a smile.
"Yes." Admiral Lian sighed contentedly, and said with some emotion, "Now we can finally break through the 8-3 sea area! Honestly—I was so worried about the changes in the sea area last night that I couldn't sleep! I was even thinking that if the sea area changed again today, I would just give up the expedition and go back to 8-1 to fish... Haha! But the sea area didn't change. Luckily, I listened to Admiral Haoding yesterday!"
"That's really great news..."
Xiao Bai smiled and looked at the other top ten admirals.
"Hahaha! Now that the map is working properly, I estimate that after tonight's expedition, we can break through the 8-3 sea area and head to the ultimate area of Chapter 8, the 8-4 sea area!" Admiral Haoding said with a smile. "Hahaha! The feeling of fighting alongside everyone is truly exhilarating and I can't wait! It's so much more enjoyable than when we were fighting on our own before!"
"Unfortunately, Admiral Li Hua has been on leave at home, and we are going to abandon him in the 8-3 sea area."
Admiral Ling covered her mouth and laughed as she spoke.
"Haha, it's alright! I'll come and accompany Admiral Li Hua then!" Admiral Haoding said with his hands on his hips and a smile. "Besides, I've also prepared a map of the 8-3 sea area for Admiral Li Hua. He'll find it much easier to conquer the 8-3 sea area than before!"
"Wow...you're as reliable as ever."
"Hahaha! The map of the 8-3 sea area was created through everyone's hard work. How can it be my achievement alone? It's clearly everyone's doing!"
Admiral Haoding laughed heartily, his cheerful smile filling the entire beach.
Xiao Bai stood to the side, a faint smile on her face, watching Admiral Hao Ding.
A figure slowly walked up behind Xiaobai, stretched out an arm, leaned in, and quietly put his arm around Xiaobai's shoulder.
A feeling of softness immediately filled Xiaobai's entire body.
Xiao Bai turned around and saw that Admiral Nanxing was hugging him quietly like an otter. The feeling of being enveloped from all sides made Xiao Bai feel like he was back in a warm cradle, extremely comfortable and peaceful.
Chapter 2942 Complaint
Nanxing quietly hugged Xiaobai and rested her chin on Xiaobai's head.
Nanxing's body was perfectly in sync with Xiaobai's. When she hugged Xiaobai, there was practically no gap between them. Even through the fabric of their clothes, every inch of their skin was pressed tightly together, creating a wonderful, incredibly reassuring and comfortable experience.
"Sister Nanxing?" Xiaobai leaned against Nanxing's chest and looked up at her.
"Good morning……"
Nanxing whispered softly in Xiaobai's ear.
Nanxing always speaks softly, which sounds gentle and has a sense of inclusiveness that is captivating.
"Good morning..." Xiaobai blinked and quickly replied, "Um... Sister Nanxing, everyone do your best on today's expedition."
"Ah."
Nanxing nodded gently. She didn't say anything more, but simply hugged Xiaobai even tighter.
Nanxing clung to Xiaobai for a while, seemingly enjoying the close contact with him, her pointed chin rubbing against Xiaobai's forehead.
"Hey, hey, hey—you over there! A war is about to break out! What are you doing, taking the opportunity to hug and cuddle like that!"
Nearby, Admiral Lian, who was formulating an expedition plan with her ship girl, seemed to sense something. She turned her head and looked over at Xiaobai. After seeing Nanxing taking the opportunity to get close to Xiaobai, Admiral Lian immediately put down the map in her hand angrily, glared at Nanxing, and shouted.
You cunning Nanxing with your thick eyebrows and big eyes! While everyone was making plans for the expedition, you secretly went to grope the little cutie!
Admiral Lian, a man of justice, declared that he could not stand idly by.
Nanxing naturally ignored Admiral Lian's protests.
Despite Admiral Lian's frantic shouts and waving of the map beside her, Nanxing remained in a dazed and adorable state, clinging to Xiaobai's back and refusing to leave.
"Duan Duan, look at her!"
Seeing this, Admiral Lian had no choice but to unleash her ultimate move and, feeling wronged, began to tattle on Duan Shuiliu, who was standing to the side.
Duan Shuiliu held the map and sighed wearily.
"Sister Nanxing, why don't we make preparations for the expedition first..." Xiaobai smiled shyly at this scene, then turned to Nanxing behind her and said, "We still have the work of the top ten admirals to do today... Let's do other things after we finish our work... Is that okay?"
Xiao Bai's words reached Nan Xing's ears, bringing him back to his senses from his reverie.
Although Nanxing ignored Admiral Lian's words, she was still willing to listen to Xiaobai's suggestions.
Nanxing gently released Xiaobai and nodded in response.
"Ah."
Under Xiaobai's watchful gaze, Nanxing finally walked slowly to Admiral Lian and picked up his own map of the sea area.
"Duan Duan! Why do you always pull me away when I go to stick some cute things on the map, but you don't care when Nanxing goes to stick some cute things on the map?!" Admiral Lian was furious when she saw Nanxing engrossed in studying the map. She angrily turned to Duan Shuiliu on the other side and started complaining, "What happened to the discipline committee member and disciplinary committee member?! Why were you just watching?! I don't think this is fair!"
"Stop it."
Duan Shuiliu, who was holding a map and making plans, sighed.
Duan Shuiliu was too lazy to say anything more about the sisters, Admiral Lian and Admiral Ling.
Nanxing has always respected Xiaobai. Her approach to Xiaobai was simply because she wanted to hug and cuddle her. This was Nanxing, as a veteran autistic child, expressing her affection for Xiaobai. There was nothing wrong with this level of healthy contact, and Duan Shuiliu certainly wouldn't interfere or stop it.
But if it were Admiral Lian or Admiral Ling, what they might do to Xiaobai is something most people wouldn't dare to even imagine...
It's definitely not as simple as just hugging and cuddling.
“When you two have learned to have healthy contact, I naturally won’t stop you,” Duan Shuiliu said to Admiral Lian and Admiral Ling.
"Damn it—Duan Duan is so biased—"
"Hahaha, everyone's relationship is as good as ever!" Admiral Haoding laughed heartily as he watched the interaction between the group.
Amidst Admiral Haoding's hearty laughter, the ship girl squad that had gone out on patrol finally returned to the beach.
The ship girl teams of the top ten admirals also began to prepare their ship equipment and get ready to set sail.
"Hahaha! According to the information relayed by the patrol ship girls, the sea situation in area 8-3 is very stable now, making it the perfect time to launch an expedition and carry out a sea raid!" Admiral Haoding laughed heartily at everyone, saying with a relaxed expression, "Even the usually unpredictable sea has become unusually stable. It seems that even the heavens are on our side today!"
"Don't get too excited yet. There's only one sea boss," Admiral Lian said to Admiral Haoding. "Even if our little cutie doesn't have to go on the expedition, we still have five garrison bases to fight in the sea! The respawn time for sea bosses can be as short as a few hours or as long as several days. Are you sure you can catch the boss today?"
"Haha, even among the top ten admirals, there's bound to be competition!" Admiral Haoding nodded with a smile. "Now that the sea map has been distributed to each of us, in other words, we're all starting from the same point! Since there's only one boss in the 8-3 sea area, what we need to do is clear—whoever gets to the depths of the sea first will be the first to gain access to the 8-4 sea area!"
"It seems you're quite confident, Admiral Haoding," Admiral Ling remarked from the side. "Aren't you afraid of losing to us?"
"Haha, since it's a competition, winning or losing is inevitable!" Admiral Haoding gave everyone a thumbs up. "The important thing is not winning or losing, but whether we can improve through healthy competition! I welcome everyone here to give it their all and have a wholehearted competition!"
"Hehe—since you've put it that way, I can't pretend I didn't hear you." Admiral Lian rolled up her sleeves and said to Admiral Haoding, "Don't forget, before the changes in the 8-3 sea area, Ling and I were far ahead of everyone else in terms of exploration progress!"
"How about the loser treats everyone else to a meal?"
Looks like I'm going to have to fleece you today!
"Hahaha, please bring it on!"
As Admiral Haoding, Admiral Lian, and Admiral Ling spoke, intense flames suddenly burst forth from their bodies.
With intense fighting spirit, Xiao Bai, Nan Xing, and Duan Shui Liu, who were standing to the side, looked at each other in silence.
"Admiral Haoding, Sister Lian, and Sister Ling are really lively..." Xiaobai turned her gaze away from the three of them and sighed with a smile at Nanxing and Duan Shuili beside her.
Duan Shuiliu and Nan Xing exchanged a glance and nodded.
After a brief preparation of the ship girls, the top ten admirals finally formulated their respective attack routes and plans. Then, they commanded their respective assault teams and set foot on the waters of area 8-3.
The five squadrons of ship girls released their ship equipment, cutting through the waves amidst a burst of colorful and dazzling light.
The figures of the ship girls gradually disappeared behind the horizon.
On the beach, the top ten admirals all closed their eyes. They stopped chatting with each other and focused on activating their respective admiral networks to remotely command their ship girl teams.
Given the extraordinary strength of the top ten admirals, clearing out a mere 8-3 sea area was no challenge for them, especially with the sea map in hand. For them, clearing out the sea area was just a matter of time. But clearing out the sea area was still clearing out the sea area. As the saying goes, even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. Even if the top ten admirals were confident of victory, they would not underestimate the water area in front of them once the ship girls actually set foot on the water.
The ship girls are fighting with their lives on the line, and as admirals, they certainly wouldn't choose to be joking around at a time like this.
This demonstrates the professionalism of the top ten admirals and their responsibility towards their ship girls.
The beach, which had been somewhat noisy, quieted down after the ship girls stepped onto the water.
The top ten admirals closed their eyes, and the admiral network around them fluctuated with each breath.
The sea breeze was howling.
Waves crashed against the sand and gravel.
Occasionally, a bird's song drifts from the horizon.
Xiaobai sat on the beach with her legs wrapped around her chest. She looked at the five admirals around her, and as she looked, she couldn't help but hug her legs even closer to her chest.
"...Was this beach really this deserted before..." Xiaobai murmured to herself, looking around at her surroundings. When she got to this point, she couldn't help but sigh, "Sigh...Suddenly there's no one to talk to, it's really a bit lonely."
Time passed slowly.
Xiaobai sat on the beach for several hours, but the top ten admirals showed no signs of waking up.
Xiao Bai got up, patted the sand off her bottom, and then went to the nearest Admiral, Nanxing.
"Um……"
Xiao Bai pinched his chin, staring at Nan Xing's face with great interest.
Even though Admiral Nanxing is usually the one who's most attached to Shiro, she still goes all out when the ship girls go on expeditions.
In Xiaobai's perception, at this moment, strong waves of spiritual energy were spreading around Admiral Nanxing, just like ripples on water.
It’s time to say it or not.
Perhaps due to their extensive experience, the network of admirals among the top ten is indeed much stronger than that of ordinary admirals in Chapter 8.
Xiao Bai reached out and gently stroked Nan Xing's face.
Xiao Bai turned around and looked again at Admiral Lian and Admiral Ling in the distance.
"Sister Nanxing's admiral network is the strongest among the top ten admirals, second only to me..." Xiaobai murmured, tapping his chin thoughtfully. "Hmm... No wonder she was chosen by Ella's grandfather and is qualified to be a runic script user in their family. It seems that people with strong mental strength have a natural advantage when learning runic scripts."
Chapter 2943 Nanxing's Background
At this moment, Nanxing was still commanding the ship girls on the sea, completely unaware of what was happening around her physical body.
Xiao Bai reached out and poked Nan Xing's cheek.
Nanxing closed his eyes and remained motionless.
The sea breeze took the opportunity to blow, lifting Nanxing's beautiful hair, with a few strands brushing against her snow-white face.
Xiao Bai extended her little finger and helped Nan Xing tuck her mischievous strands of hair behind her ear.
After doing all this, Xiaobai stared at Nanxing's face, lost in thought.
Xiao Bai stretched out her finger and gently touched Nan Xing's lips.
The bright red lips subtly changed shape with Xiaobai's touch, and then Xiaobai easily pried open the closed lips, revealing a small section of snow-white and neat teeth.
"Speaking of which, Sister Nanxing is really beautiful..."
"Her skin is very clean and smooth, her teeth are very straight, and her hair is very soft..."
"More importantly, it's her figure..."
"Before meeting Sister Nanxing, I had only ever seen this kind of figure on ship girls..."
Xiao Bai looked at Nan Xing's body with some envy, then sighed.
Governor-General Ringo and Admiral Nanxing are truly treasures of humankind.
One possesses beauty comparable to, or even surpassing, that of ship girls, while the other possesses a figure comparable to, or even surpassing, that of ship girls.
Thinking of this, Xiaobai couldn't help but move closer to Nanxing's arms and gently hug Nanxing's waist.
"Sister Nanxing's concentration is incredibly high, even among the top ten admirals... Only someone with her strong mental fortitude can completely disregard her physical body... But even after all this prank, she didn't react at all." Xiaobai murmured to herself after nestling in Nanxing's arms for a while, "Sigh... While focusing can improve the efficiency of the admiral network, it's best to keep a little attention on your physical body when using it... This is just too worrying."
Xiaobai decided to discuss the use of the Admiral Network with Nanxing after her expedition ended.
While Xiaobai may not have much to teach the top ten admirals about admiral skills, he excels in the area of mental strength.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Xiaobai is always laughed at by the deep-sea will within him for being a novice in mental strength. Novice or not... it all depends on who you compare him to.
Although Xiaobai can't compare to the will of the deep sea, it's more than enough compared to its peers.
