...So this is a research ship girl.
"Jinan, have you had breakfast?" Xiaobai asked.
"No."
"Then let me change my clothes, and let's go have breakfast."
"Okay! Sure!"
Jinan immediately clenched her little fist and nodded hurriedly.
"Then get off my lap first..." Xiaobai pointed down.
"Get down!"
Jinan turned to the side, and with a roll, it rolled over Xiaobai to the other side.
"Comrade Admiral, this pillow smells so strongly of osmanthus!" Jinan said to Xiaobai while lying on his side, hugging the pillow next to him.
"Ah... well..." Xiaobai smiled awkwardly. She bent down, picked up the clothes on the chair, and slowly sat down on the edge of the bed to put them on. "When you were in the research and construction machine form, did you have a sense of smell?"
"No, there's no sense of touch at all."
"Oh... So what was your state of mind when you were building the research machine? Were you left with only... thoughts among your five senses? Was it like being locked in a dark room?"
"Hmm..." Jinan, lying on the bed, hugged her pillow, her fingers circling the pillow as she touched her lips and thought for a while. "It's not as uncomfortable as the Admiral said... But... I didn't know I would become a ship girl back then."
"Oh?" Xiaobai stopped what she was doing and turned to look at Jinan on the bed.
"When I was still a research and construction machine, my consciousness was actually very hazy. I didn't know who I was, nor did I have the consciousness of becoming a ship girl. I just felt like I had something to do, and everything I did was instinctive." Jinan said to Xiaobai with a smile, "At first, when I heard that someone wanted to capture me and steal what was inside me, I was very unhappy. So I just drifted along... and finally, I met you, Admiral. You are the only Admiral I have met in this chapter's city who is not interested in what is inside me, but in me! So I like you! I'll stay by your side!"
"Eh...I see."
"Hehe." Jinan hugged his pillow and rolled around on Xiaobai's bed.
"Well... after all, the admirals who have come into contact with the research and construction machines are all here for the research ship girls... They don't know that you are a research ship girl, so it's normal for them to react this way," Xiaobai said.
"The Admiral is different—"
"Well, I'm a special case... Powerful ship girls are great, but talking research and construction machines are pretty good too... Besides... uh..." Xiaobai was speaking when she suddenly paused. She looked at Jinan on the bed and thought for a while, "Wait... If you're saying this... you were a research and construction machine before, and the first time you came to me to steal Anshan's food, after I caught you, when I asked you if research ship girls would belong to me, were you lying to me?"
“…Ah.” Jinan stopped.
"Jinan—" Xiaobai drawled out the word.
“Comrade Admiral, this matter has a very deep reason behind it…”
"Oh, you're something else!"
Xiao Bai turned around and pounced towards Jinan.
The pillows in Jinan flew into the air.
Two figures rolled around on the bed.
Laughter and playful noises suddenly filled Xiaobai's bedroom.
Chapter 3051 A Story, A Power
After changing back into her regular clothes from her pajamas, Xiaobai led Jinan out of the dormitory.
"Ugh—Admiral, really, getting angry over such a small thing." Jinan grumbled as she followed Xiaobai, rubbing her lower back and buttocks. "I still ended up becoming Admiral's ship girl... In the end, the outcome wasn't wrong. Besides, if it were someone else, suddenly being threatened with a knife... who would dare to tell the truth in that situation..."
"Putting aside the facts, isn't it right for liars to have their feet tickled?" Xiaobai turned around and said to Jinan with a smile.
“Comrade Admiral—you’re bullying me…” Jinan clutched the back of his knee, his body trembling.
"Alright, alright, enough joking around. Let's go eat." Xiaobai looked at Jinan and couldn't help but smile again. "What do you want for breakfast?"
"Fried dough twist with sweet millet porridge!"
"Wow, some of these are actually lesser-known local snacks..."
"Isn't it in the cafeteria?"
"Hmm... the cafeteria at the newbie naval base does have that, but Nia's cafeteria doesn't seem to be that elaborate..."
"Then let's have some sesame seed cakes and mutton offal soup..." Jinan said, hanging his head and looking dejected.
“Yes, we do have that.” Xiaobai nodded. “Hmm… As for the sweet sesame paste from the whirlpool… I’ll take you back to the newbie naval base to eat it after Chao Yamato comes back.”
"Wow—Comrade Admiral, you're so great!" Upon hearing Xiaobai's words, Jinan happily rushed over, hugging Xiaobai's arm and jumping around, pecking at Xiaobai's cheeks repeatedly, "Mwah! Mwah! The best admiral in the world! Mwah!"
The loving relationship between Xiaobai and Jinan brought smiles to the faces of the Nia family ship girls passing by.
Had breakfast.
Xiao Bai and Jinan arrived at the training ground.
During this period, the training ground was mainly used to train the ship girls of Ning Lu and Jin Shiqi's family, who were new to the naval base. When Xiao Bai and Jinan arrived at the training ground, they saw dark clouds and gunfire everywhere.
Rumble…
bang bang bang...
Missouri, carrying her ship's rigging, easily dodged a group of Ning Lu's ship girls. With a smile on her face, two cannon shots boomed from behind her, hitting two of the ship girls in the group. ...
Boom! ! !
The ship girl, hit by Missouri's shell, crashed heavily into the water, her ship equipment fragments mixed with her clothing flying everywhere, and silently became heavily damaged.
"Seniors, please remember that positioning during battle is a crucial point. Remember not to reveal your positioning to any of your enemies. This should always take precedence over the accuracy of your artillery fire." Missouri stopped and smiled as she spoke to the remaining four ship girls.
The remaining four artillery ship girls from Ninglu Naval Base looked at Missouri's modest smile and subconsciously glanced at their teammates floating in the water. They shuddered.
"Next, please carry these two seniors up here, repair their ship equipment, and then bring them down."
Missouri continued, smiling.
The ship girls at Ninglu Naval Base displayed expressions of detachment from life and death.
This only happened in one corner of the training ground.
Apart from the corner of the training ground where Missouri and her group were located, the entire training ground, from the perimeter to the center, was filled with the figures of novice naval base training ship girls.
For example, there are companies that conduct aerial bomb evasion training, such as Fubuki that conducts artillery evasion training, Saratoga that teaches carrier-based aircraft operation, Veneto that is a temporary instructor for torpedo training, and Richelieu that conducts comprehensive combat training...
It's very lively.
……
"It's so lively!" Xiaobai exclaimed as he stood at the edge of the training field, watching the bustling scene.
"Sister Changchun, Sister Anshan!" Jinan stood on tiptoe and waved happily to the ship girl team that was resting at the edge of the exercise field.
Among the ship girl group, two snow-white figures were distributing bottled water.
Upon hearing Jinan's call, one of the figures trembled violently and instinctively took two steps back.
Another figure curiously stopped what they were doing and looked over.
"Admiral? Jinan?" Changchun looked at Xiaobai and the other person with surprise. She quickly put down the mineral water in her hand, grabbed Anshan's hand and ran to Xiaobai. "Admiral! What brings you here! And Jinan, Anshan and I were going to look for you today, but no one answered the door to your room. We thought you were still sleeping in."
"Hmm." Jinan put his hands behind his back, smiling at the two without saying a word.
"I just finished eating with Jinan. I thought you guys would be here at the training ground, so I brought her over to take a look." Xiaobai smiled at Changchun, then looked at Anshan.
Anshan's expression at this moment was somewhat subtle. The way she looked at Jinan showed both instinctive fear and instinctive closeness, like a mouse seeing its sister cat.
The reason for this is not hard to guess.
After all, Jinan became a ship girl by eating Anshan's food...
This is a sisterhood that's practically a food chain.
"Sister Anshan—" Jinan extended her hand to Anshan, "Good morning!"
"Waaaah—don't come any closer!" Anshan immediately ran away.
"Sister Anshan—don't run away—"
I ran around Anshan and Jinan, circling Xiaobai and Changchun again and again.
Anshan runs, Jinan chases; Anshan can't escape even with wings.
In just a few steps, Anshan was embraced by Jinan.
"I, I don't want to soak in the restoration pool anymore!" Anshan shouted immediately.
This scene naturally brought a smile to Xiaobai and Changchun's faces.
"Admiral, I'm sorry, Sister Anshan... um... seems to have been left with a little trauma." Changchun said to Xiaobai apologetically, "But it's okay. I asked Sister Anshan, and she does have some trauma, but it's not too much. She also likes Jinan quite a bit, but she just instinctively wants to run away, so there's no need to worry about it."
"I agree," Xiaobai nodded. "You've been to Jinan before, right? How was it?"
“Me? Oh…” Changchun thought for a while, “Actually… it’s okay… apart from being sticky, I don’t feel too uncomfortable. Once I found out that the scientific research construction machine was actually Jinan himself, I didn’t even have the last bit of resistance anymore.”
"I see."
Xiao Bai responded and looked at the pool in the training field.
Just then, the rookie naval ship girls at the edge of the training ground also spotted Shiro and ran over to her.
"Good morning, Admiral!"
"Good morning!" Xiaobai greeted the ship girls with a smile.
"Admiral, aren't you going to take a bath today?"
"Ah... well, I'll go when Sister Nanxing arrives."
"Oh—" the ship girls exclaimed in unison.
"And..." Xiaobai sighed with some regret, "we haven't figured out what to do about Montana yet."
"Oh..." The ship girls sighed upon hearing this.
To this day, no way to defeat Montana has been figured out.
Most importantly, even though the newbie naval base already has two special ship girls, they are restricted by the special challenge rules for salvaging ship girls, so these two special ship girls cannot be used against Monta...
Those despicable rule-makers!
Even considering the combat power of special ship girls, the chances of a newbie naval base defeating Montana are slim. Now that only newbie naval base ship girls remain, the chances of defeating Montana after shedding her newbie status are so low that it's something we dare not even attempt.
at this point.
Even without Xiaobai explicitly stating it, the ship girls present were all fully aware of the situation.
"Admiral, we're sorry, we were too weak," the ship girls said regretfully.
If the ship girls from the newbie naval bases were to hear what the ship girls from the Ninglu and Jinshiqi naval bases, who were undergoing special training in the center of the exercise field, were to hear their comments, they would probably fall flat on their faces.
"How could that be? It's not like that, don't say that." Xiaobai quickly shook his head. "Actually, with Project 24 that Montana gave us, we weren't completely without a chance of winning..."
Are you guys discussing beating up Montana?
Just then, a clear and delicate voice came from the side.
Xiaobai and the ship girls were stunned for a moment, then turned to look.
Then, Jinan, which had been embracing Anshan, let go of its hold and came to the crowd with a smile.
"Is there anything I can do to help?" Jinan asked the crowd.
“Jinan… ah…” Everyone looked at Jinan, momentarily stunned, but quickly said regretfully, “Jinan, you are a research ship girl. Although we don’t know your background, you are indeed the top combat force in our naval base. But you probably don’t know that salvaging ship girls is not allowed to be handled by the other two special ship girls… So unfortunately, you probably can’t help with this matter…”
"How could that be?" Jinan blinked her sea-blue eyes as she listened to everyone's words, raised a hand, clenched her fist, and covered her chest. "Who said I couldn't help?"
"Huh?" Everyone was stunned.
"I know that as a research ship girl, I can't directly confront Monta. I've witnessed her power, and she is indeed very strong," Jinan said to everyone. "But... what if my power was the kind that could be effective without me even having to attack her?"
"what?!"
"Ahem, ahem." Jinan coughed lightly, then walked to the front of the group, took a deep breath, and raised one hand, making a fist. Under everyone's gaze, her palm slowly glowed, and she held it above her head. "It seems it's time to introduce myself! I am Jinan, and my ability is Sea Eagle Patrol. I can make my allies, especially those of the same ship type as me, stronger!"
As Jinan spoke, the light in her hands scattered like feathers.
These feather-like rays of light splashed onto the ship girls, and soon, Changchun, Anshan, and Jinan themselves were also illuminated with a faint white light.
Changchun and Anshan stared at their palms in surprise, exchanging glances.
"He does seem to have gotten much stronger..."
Changchun and Anshan murmured to themselves.
"But... is this power enough to defeat Montana?"
