“Yes, that’s it…” Xiaobai took a few breaths, and the blush on her face faded a little. She asked Jinan, “The method to fight Montana… is it the method you said you were going to try yesterday?”
Xiaobai still remembers.
After Missouri and Jeanbart finished their match yesterday, Jinan acted as if she had discovered a new continent. She told Xiaobai that she was going to test some things and then disappeared in a flash.
Back then, Jinan was shrouded in mystery, like a little riddle.
Xiao Bai initially thought Jinan was referring to something fun or recreational, but it turned out she was talking about Montana.
“Yes!” Jinan said, holding Xiaobai’s hands. “After watching the sparring match between Missouri and Jean Bart yesterday, I suddenly had an idea. Then last night I found a place to test it out and finally came up with a way that has a high probability of defeating Montana!”
"What method is it?" Xiaobai asked curiously as he listened to Jinan's words.
“This method requires two people—Missouri and Jean Bart!” Jinan said.
"Huh? Wait a minute... I don't find Missouri strange... but Jean Bart..." Xiaobai asked blankly, "What's going on with Jean Bart? Isn't she a special ship girl? According to the rules for salvaging ship girls, she shouldn't be able to use her against Montaigne, right?"
"Hehe, about this, this is what I tested yesterday!" Jinan had a happy expression on her face, as if she had discovered something. She stuck her tongue out at Xiaobai, "Because only I can do this method, no one should have discovered it before! Admiral, I'm going to tell you now..."
Jinan released Xiaobai's hand, raised both hands high in the air, and waved them at Xiaobai.
The cold wind was blowing at two in the morning.
The language of Jinan was temporarily drowned out by the sound of the wind.
Xiao Bai listened blankly to Jinan's words. After Jinan finished speaking the last word, her eyes lit up for a moment, then she covered her mouth and looked at her in disbelief.
"Huh? This...this is the method? Is it really possible to do this?"
“Well… actually, strictly speaking, this method places a bit high demands on Missouri… but after watching her performance on the training field yesterday, I feel that with her skills, it shouldn’t be a problem…” Jinan said, “As long as Missouri passes the test, the plan will definitely be implemented perfectly!”
"If it can be implemented perfectly... indeed." Xiaobai thought about Jinan's statement, lowered his head, covered his mouth and nodded, "Perhaps this really can defeat Montana, but I just don't know about Missouri..."
"Missouri is fine."
Just then, a humble voice with a smile came from behind Xiaobai and Jinan.
Xiao Bai and Jinan were taken aback and turned around to look.
Missouri, wearing a thin nightgown, was smiling as she leaned against the slightly ajar dormitory door, watching Xiaobai and Jinan.
"Huh? Missouri, you're awake!"
"Good morning, Admiral."
"Ah... I'm so sorry, did I really wake you up because I was too loud..."
"No, Missouri was actually awake the whole time. After all, it's quite a rare thing to be able to see the Admiral's sleeping face like that." Missouri smiled at Shiro. "Well... the reason I didn't say anything earlier was because Missouri was really hoping that the Admiral would give her a farewell kiss after he woke up, so I pretended to be asleep. But it's a real shame that the Admiral is as clueless as ever. Missouri is heartbroken."
"Ah...this..."
"Let's get back to what just happened." Missouri straightened her pajamas and walked out with a smile. She bent down slightly, looking at Xiaobai and Jinan in front of her. "Missouri also heard about Senior Jinan's plan just now. It was indeed a very unexpected way of fighting..."
"Missouri, are you sure you can handle this? You're the core of this plan," Xiaobai asked with some concern.
“This is a very challenging task, but... Missouri will do her best.” Missouri did not answer directly, but just smiled slightly.
Xiao Bai, who was familiar with Missouri's personality, immediately understood what Missouri meant when he heard this.
"Missouri, yay! You're amazing!" Little White pounced on her and hugged Missouri's waist.
“It is an honor for Missouri to be able to share the burden of the Admiral…” Missouri hugged Xiaobai’s back and smiled. “I was a little disappointed that I might not be able to help the Admiral this time, but Senior Jinan’s plan has suddenly ignited my passion. I am really happy.”
“Missouri…” Xiaobai looked at Missouri with emotion.
The atmosphere between Xiaobai and Missouri has improved.
Suddenly.
Xiao Bai felt a gentle tug on his clothes from behind.
Little White turned around from Missouri's warm and familiar embrace and looked behind her.
Jinan was seen tugging at Xiaobai's clothes while pointing at herself, her cute little face pouting, her little legs pacing anxiously back and forth.
"Comrade Admiral, what about me? What about me? Am I not good enough?"
"Jinan, you're amazing too! I love you!"
Xiaobai pulled Jinan into his and Missouri's arms and hugged her happily.
Chapter 3067 She's about to begin her challenge!
That morning.
When Admiral Nanxing arrived at the entrance of the temporary naval base with the cake, before she even entered, she saw a male and female admiral leading two teams of ship girls, discussing something in front of the tightly closed gate.
"That's it."
"what happened……"
"Could it be?"
"That's too..."
The two admirals were chatting as if they were whispering secrets, their expressions constantly shifting with tension. The ship girls behind them also looked nervous and kept their heads down, as if they had done something wrong.
"..." Nanxing.
Nanxing's gaze lingered on the two admirals for a moment.
These two admirals are Ning Lu and Jin Shiqi, who were recently recruited by Xiaobai into the temporary naval base training program.
Although Nanxing occasionally met these two admirals at the temporary garrison, and the two always greeted and saluted Nanxing respectfully and warmly, due to Nanxing's personal issues, she seemed to have never properly looked at or spoken to them.
Social anxiety...
Is such that.
Nanxing stood at a distance, watching the two people, then shifted his gaze to the tightly closed gate of the temporary garrison.
Nanxing's plan was to wait until the two admirals left before approaching them.
However, Nanxing waited at the gate for more than ten minutes, and neither of the two admirals showed any intention of leaving.
On the contrary, because he had been waiting outside for too long, some admirals on the roadside noticed Nanxing's identity and cast surprised glances at him, showing a tendency to step forward to ask for autographs and greetings.
Nanxing tightened her grip on the cake packaging slightly. A hint of fear and resistance flashed in her eyes as she looked at Ning Lu and Jin Shiqi, but after a while, she closed her eyes and walked towards the gate of the temporary garrison.
When we met Nanxing, we were heading to the temporary garrison.
The surrounding admirals shuddered and scattered in all directions.
Ning Lu and Jin Shiqi, who were having a heated discussion, noticed Nan Xing walking up to them.
"Admiral Nanxing! Good morning!"
Upon seeing Nanxing, Jin Shiqi immediately tensed up and stammered a bow in salute.
"Admiral Nanxing!" Ning Lu immediately waved to Nanxing, looking very enthusiastic. "Oh! You've come too!"
"..."
Nanxing silently walked up to the two of them. She first glanced at the door that was so close by, and then looked at the two of them.
Nanxing remained rooted to the spot for a full half minute before slowly opening her mouth.
"what happened?"
"Ah, yes, that's how it is!" Jin Shiqi quickly said, "We received a message from Admiral Lu Lin today, saying that our ship girl training has been temporarily suspended, and the temporary naval base will not be receiving guests for the next few days. We are to wait for further instructions!"
“That’s exactly what I was thinking.” Ning Lu also looked dejected and distressed. “We were both terrified when we received this news. We were worried that our ship girls hadn’t performed well during training and disappointed Admiral Lu Lin, so she was going to give up on us…”
"...?"
Nanxing looked at the two admirals, then at the ship girls behind them.
Ning Lu and Jin Shiqi are both regulars among the top ten or so admirals in the world. Nanxing has seen these two admirals at various parties where she has to make appearances, and she has naturally taken a few glances at the ship girls behind them.
The ship girls behind them used to be ordinary.
But what Nanxing saw at this moment, the ship girls following Ning Lu and Jin Shiqi, although they had the expressions of wronged children who had done something wrong but didn't know what they had done wrong, it was obvious that Nanxing could smell some of the aura of ship girls from the top ten naval bases.
Growing up...is very good.
Nanxing withdrew his gaze and looked at Ning Lu and Jin Shiqi.
Ning Lu and Jin Shiqi are also discussing this.
"Admiral Lu Lin has never said anything like this before, I'm really scared..."
"Even if Admiral Lu Lin has abandoned us, at least let us know what we did to upset her so we can apologize. This silence makes me feel like I'm being led to the execution ground; I'm so panicked..."
"..." Nanxing.
Nanxing thought for a while, then lowered her head and took out her phone.
Turn on the screen.
Sure enough, Xiaobai's message appeared on the screen.
Nanxing used to enjoy playing on her phone a lot, since she had basically cut off all real-world social interaction. However, recently, spending time with Xiaobai, coupled with feeling unwell, has caused her to use her phone much less frequently than before.
This is why Nanxing didn't realize Xiaobai had sent him a message until he arrived at Xiaobai's door.
Nanxing opened the message notification.
The notification showed that Xiaobai had sent more than a dozen messages, the earliest of which was sent at 2 a.m. and continued until 6 a.m.
In the message, Xiaobai said that she did have some things to do today. She said that there had been some breakthrough progress in the operation plan for Montana, so she would be testing this opportunity at the naval base in the next few days. The temporary naval base would not be receiving any guests today—except for Nanxing, of course.
Xiaobai specifically mentioned this in his message.
Nanxing can enter the naval base through the back door. Xiaobai arranged for a ship girl to pick her up at the back door, and then Xiaobai will wait for her at home. She will also let her tour the implementation part of the plan to conquer Montana.
Finally, Xiaobai added a final instruction, hoping that Nanxing would keep this matter a secret.
Upon seeing this, Nanxing turned off her phone.
"It's nothing," Nanxing said to the two worried admirals. "She does have something to do, but it has nothing to do with you."
"Really?!" The two admirals immediately looked at Nanxing.
"Yes, I asked. You guys go back, don't be too conspicuous." Nanxing nodded.
"Wow! Admiral Nanxing! You, you are my god!"
"I'm finally relieved—ouch—"
The two admirals breathed a sigh of relief and roared to the sky.
Nanxing nodded silently. She glanced at the closed door, picked up the cake, and left.
The two admirals thanked Nanxing with deep emotion and watched her leave.
Seeing Nanxing disappear into the crowd, Ning Lu and Jin Shiqi were filled with emotion.
"Sigh...Admiral Nanxing is as beautiful and generous as ever." Jin Shiqi clenched his fist, his face full of emotion. "Her temperament is noble, and her appearance is as outstanding as a ship girl. Most importantly, although Admiral Nanxing is aloof, she is never arrogant. Such a great person is simply a perfect existence!"
"Hahaha..." Ning Lu nodded and laughed, "Yeah...right!"
"Huh? Admiral Ning Lu, why do you look like you know something?"
"Ning Lu doesn't know~" Ning Lu looked in the direction Nan Xing had left and muttered to herself, "So dignified...so aloof..."
……
In the crowd, Nanxing, clutching the cake in her hand, turned and disappeared into the alley.
With small, quick steps, Nanxing jogged toward the back wall of the temporary garrison.
Her long, neatly combed hair bounced and swayed with her movements, like a tail.
Looking ahead, Nanxing walked out of the alley and saw the ship girl who had been waiting for her at the back wall. Nanxing's eyes shone brightly, and a girlish smile appeared on her lips.
unconsciously.
The temporary garrison's "closed-door" status lasted for three full days.
The temporary naval base usually receives many visitors. Although most of these visitors are responsible for the handover of supplies to the naval base, and only a few are audacious socialites, the news of the new naval base entering seclusion quickly spread throughout the entire eighth chapter.
The admirals in Chapter 8 had many speculations about the newbie naval base's seclusion.
Some speculate that with the current terrifying difficulty of salvaging ship girls on the beach, the top ten admirals have either given up, failed, or disappeared, leaving only the world's number one naval base as the sole survivor. The entire eighth chapter now hinges on the new naval base defeating the salvaged ship girls, giving admirals who have been brutally defeated by Montana a much-needed boost in prestige. Perhaps this expectation has put immense pressure on the new naval base, forcing it to avoid the limelight and go into seclusion.
After all, she's number one in the world... With such a powerful ability to salvage ship girls, she doesn't want to lose face.
This speculation sparked considerable discussion on the admiral forums, with most admirals stating that while salvaged ship girls are powerful, new players might still have a chance to defeat them in a naval base.
