"Ha ha……"
Little White scratched his head and smiled at the female Kitchen Goddess.
Anyway... what I spent wasn't money, it was mass-produced deep-sea metal.
Putting aside the fact that Nanxing is priceless in Xiaobai's mind, and Xiaobai is willing to spend more money and resources if she can help her, even mass-produced deep-sea metal is just a snack for Xiaobai.
I've gotten tired of eating this for the past year.
They didn't even feel sorry for me.
……
Super Yamato's teleportation ability is really useful.
After telling Chao Yamato about the plan to equip Nanxing's mother with ship equipment, Xiaobai, Yubari, and Vestal Goddess stayed in the dormitory to discuss the details of installing ship equipment on Nanxing and various items that needed to be considered.
As evening approached.
Just as Shiro, Yubari, and the female hearth goddess were finishing their discussion, a knock came from outside the door.
A tall figure appeared outside the door.
"Admiral, I've brought what you requested," came the voice of Super Yamato.
Xiao Bai opened the door and saw Chao Dahe standing outside, his hands clasped together, his lower abdomen clenched, his eyes darting around nervously.
"You've come at the perfect time." Xiaobai pulled Chao Yamato into the house, asking with a smile as they walked, "You got it so quickly? Come on, let me see the ship equipment."
Chao Da was pulled to an open space in the room by Xiao Bai. Under Xiao Bai's expectant gaze, she stretched out her hand, and a flash of black and red light appeared, revealing a snow-white ship armor in everyone's sight.
Yubari quickly stepped forward, took out a magnifying glass, and began to carefully examine the details of the ship's equipment.
"Hmm... This structure is actually a modified ship girl... This modification method is indeed from more than 30 years ago." Yubari said while touching the structural tubes on the ship equipment. "The person who modified this ship equipment back then was very skilled, although it looks a bit old from my current perspective."
"Admiral, here are the documents." Super Yamato took out a stack of documents from its ship equipment space and handed them to Shiro with both hands.
"Thank you." Xiaobai smiled as she took the document and glanced through it.
The contents of this document are basically the "service record" of a ship girl from more than 30 years ago. It includes her series of combat achievements, ship equipment evaluation, her physical examination report before disassembling the ship equipment, photos, and information such as psychological evaluation...
Xiao Bai flipped to the photo section and looked at the beautiful, mature woman in the picture who bore a striking resemblance to Nan Xing. Xiao Bai couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Hmm, this should be Auntie. She looks exactly like the woman in the photo Sister Duan showed me." Xiaobai looked at the retirement report and said with great interest, "It also says that the recommended age for retirement is twenty-one... I didn't expect that the age on the ship girl's ID card after retirement is actually determined by the doctor after the physical examination. This is a strange new piece of knowledge."
Xiao Bai put the file into his ship's equipment space.
"Yubari, Vesta, can you two fit this ship equipment in?" Shiro asked.
“My ship’s equipment is crammed with electronic components; it wouldn’t be good if I broke it.” Yubari shrugged. “That’s how it is with light cruisers; every inch of equipment space has to be used efficiently.”
"It can't fit, there's no way it can fit." The goddess of the hearth shrugged. "It's just a repair ship, where would we find a space big enough to fit an entire aircraft carrier's equipment?"
"Okay." Xiaobai raised her hand and gently stroked the ship's rigging in front of her.
A flash of white light appeared, and the entire aircraft carrier's equipment in front of him was stored into Xiaobai's equipment space.
"Let's go," Xiaobai said with a smile to the three people in front of her. "We shouldn't delay, let's go to Sister Nanxing's place."
Chapter 3186 Three Forces
Xiaobai hasn't been able to contact Nanxing for the past two days and doesn't know how she's doing at home alone.
After all, Nanxing's current physical condition prevents her from using a mobile phone, and without a mobile phone, she can't go online. To minimize damage to surrounding objects, she can only stay in her dormitory, lying on her bed with her mind blank and lost in thought.
In a sense, he can be considered "disabled".
Xiaobai had previously considered visiting Nanxing's temporary naval base while waiting for the goddess of the hearth and Yubari to reply. However, Nanxing was currently at the center of the storm in Chapter 8. With each drop in her world ranking, the discussions about her on the Admiral's Forum became increasingly heated. In the real world, including the Admiral's Guild's spies, Xiaobai didn't know how many eyes were watching Nanxing. Therefore, in order to avoid causing trouble for Nanxing, Xiaobai gave up the idea of visiting her before finding a solution.
Now that a solution has finally been found, Xiaobai didn't even wait and immediately led the female hearth goddess, Yubari, and Chaoda and the other three people towards the temporary garrison of Nanxing.
"Admiral, so... do I have to go too?"
On the way out of the temporary garrison, Chao Dahe followed behind Xiao Bai, pointing at himself with some confusion.
“Yeah.” Xiaobai turned around and said to Chao Yamato.
"Admiral... I don't understand." Super Yamato glanced at Vestal and Yubari beside him, then lowered his head somewhat self-consciously. "Vestal and Yubari went with you because they are experienced ship girl healers, but I'm a complete novice in this field, and I'm also an Abyssal..."
"Super Yamato, you don't understand," Xiaobai said, looking at Super Yamato. "You're a very important person in our discussion group."
"……me?"
“Yes, think about it.” Xiaobai pointed at Vestal and Yubari. “First of all, after we get to the scene, I’ll be in charge of installing ship equipment on Nanxing, right? Vestal and Yubari will stay by my side, firstly to assist me, and secondly to prevent any unforeseen circumstances from occurring.”
Upon hearing this, the goddess of the hearth and Yubari raised their hands in a scissor gesture towards the oversized object.
Chao Yamato's gaze fell on the goddess of the hearth and Yubari, and then she nodded cautiously.
"Is such that."
“But Chao Dahe, this surgery for Sister Nanxing is a top-secret operation. In addition to ensuring the smooth implementation of this surgery, we also need to ensure that this surgery will not be disturbed or discovered by anyone.” Xiaobai said to Chao Dahe, “Look, Chao Dahe, you have a dignified appearance and a tall stature. Just standing at the door, you naturally have an aura that keeps strangers away. Once others see you, they won’t dare to come in and disturb you.”
"So I was the lookout," Chao Dahe suddenly realized.
"This is a very important position." Shiro patted Yoru's arm and gave her a thumbs up.
……
After leaving the temporary garrison, Xiaobai and his companions headed towards the temporary garrison where Nanxing was located.
It's getting late, and the sky is getting dark.
The ship girls and admirals on the streets were hurrying towards their respective residences. Wisps of smoke could be seen coming from the temporary naval bases they passed, and the aroma of food could often be smelled on the streets.
It's a coincidence.
When Xiaobai and her three companions arrived at Nanxing's temporary naval base, before they even got close, they saw a group of staff members dressed in Admiral Guild uniforms carrying large and small bags, negotiating with the two gatekeeper ship girls at the entrance.
The lead staff member was a slender and tall ship girl dressed as a head nurse, followed by other ship girls wearing white caps and nurse outfits.
"So, we are a working group sent by the Admiral's Guild to provide Admiral Nanxing with a free physical examination and medical diagnosis..."
"Admiral Nanxing's strike these past few days has already sparked considerable discussion throughout the city of Chapter Eight. In order to quell this public opinion, we have no choice but to..."
"This is not a request, it is an obligation, and I hope you can understand..."
Ultimately, we still need to give everyone an explanation.
"Our medical team is highly skilled..."
"Admiral Nanxing probably wouldn't want things to escalate further..."
"Can't delay any longer..."
"This is for everyone's good..."
“If you continue like this, you will be disobeying the orders of the Admiral's Guild, and you cannot bear the responsibility…”
"..."
Xiao Bai watched the scene in front of the Admiral's Guild from afar, then stopped and sighed helplessly.
really……
Previously, when Xiaobai called Muyu to ask for ship equipment, Muyu had subtly mentioned to Xiaobai that as one of the top ten admirals, Nanxing's every move would be under everyone's scrutiny. Now that her ranking has dropped significantly, it will definitely cause a huge uproar in Chapter 8. In order to quell the panic and avoid unnecessary trouble, the Admiral Guild had to send a working group to understand Nanxing's situation.
However... when Mu Yu said that a working group would visit Nan Xing "soon", Xiao Bai thought that Mu Yu meant a few days later.
I can't believe it really is happening so soon...
Thinking of this, Xiao Bai sighed and led the people behind him forward.
At the entrance of Nanxing Naval Base, the person negotiating with the Admiral's Guild's working group is the black and white ship girl that Xiaobai encountered last time she came here.
The black-clad ship girl stood quietly by the door, while the white-clad ship girl appeared aloof and unapproachable, repeatedly saying "No" to the working group of ship girls. She offered excuses like, "Next time, for sure," "The admiral is very busy," and "Please go back, everyone."
This kind of excuse is certainly not enough to convince the Admiral's Guild's working group.
However, the working group couldn't force their way in, so the two groups were stuck at the door, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.
As the medical team lingered in front of the Nanxing Naval Base for longer and longer, more and more admirals and ship girls stopped on the street. Everyone watched the gate of the Nanxing Naval Base like spectators, and soon the surroundings were filled with the sounds of discussion.
A group of people were like spectators, constantly taking pictures of the scene at the entrance of Nanxing with their phones.
Amid the discussion, the white-clad ship girl guarding the gate and the medical team members became increasingly agitated.
"So, what exactly happened to your admiral? We're here on orders from the Admiral's Guild to help her, but why are you blocking our way..."
"I've already said it's not possible today, everyone please leave. Our admiral will schedule an appointment next time. I hope you won't cause any more trouble!"
"I'm being unreasonable, it was clearly you..."
Xiaobai glanced at the two people at the door who were getting increasingly agitated. She exchanged a look with the three people behind her, then straightened her collar and walked out.
Upon seeing Xiaobai emerge from the crowd, the eyes of the two ship girls, one in black and one in white, suddenly lit up in front of the gate of the Nanxing Naval Base.
The medical team, who were negotiating with the gatekeeper ship girl, subconsciously followed the gatekeeper ship girl's gaze and turned around to see Xiaobai and his group.
"Admiral Lu Lin, you've arrived."
The two gatekeeper ship girls, one in black and one in white, bowed deeply to Xiaobai.
"Admiral Lu, Admiral Lu Lin..."
The medical team quickly calmed down, bowed to Xiaobai, and made way for her.
At the main entrance, where a fight had almost broken out, everyone calmed down simply because of Xiaobai's appearance.
Xiaobai smiled slightly at the ship girls present, walked up the steps, and spoke to the gatekeeper ship girls.
"Why are so many people blocking the entrance so late at night?"
"Reporting to Admiral Lu Lin, they say they want to enter the temporary naval base to conduct a medical examination for my admiral," the white-clad ship girl hurriedly reported. "But my admiral previously instructed that she doesn't want to see anyone right now. I'm worried they'll spoil her mood, so I had to stop them outside, but they insist on going in..."
"We were also sent by the Admiral's Guild! If you're not satisfied, you can talk to the Admiral's Guild!" a member of the medical team said. "If we don't complete the medical examination for your Admiral and bring back the report, none of us can go back!"
"Alright, alright, it's no big deal. Everyone has their responsibilities." Xiaobai smiled and reassured the two ship girls. She first said to the gatekeeper ship girl, "It's impolite for a group of people to block the door. I also need to visit Sister Nanxing, so please let us in together."
"This..." The white-clad ship girl hesitated upon hearing this. "Admiral Lu Lin, you... you can go in, but what about them..."
"It's alright, with me here, how could anything happen?" Xiaobai said with a smile.
"..." The white-clad ship girl silently looked at Xiaobai. After a while, she finally lowered her chin, nodded, and turned to open the gate of the temporary naval base.
The door was flung open with a loud bang.
The nurse ship girls in the medical team all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Admiral Lu Lin, thank you!" The nurse ship girls all looked at Xiaobai with gratitude and admiration. "If it weren't for you, we don't know how long we would have been stuck outside!"
"It's okay, let's go in first," Xiaobai said.
The nurse ship girls then carried their large and small bags and entered the temporary naval base.
Xiaobai, accompanied by the three ship girls and Abyss, stood in front of the gate and glanced back at the crowd gathered on the street.
Wherever Xiaobai's gaze fell, the crowd on the street trembled. Everyone hurriedly put away their phones and scattered like birds, pulling their ship girls along with them.
"Admiral Lu Lin..." a voice called out.
Xiaobai turned her head and saw the ship girl who had opened the door staring at her with a wronged expression.
"My admiral... he really can't be harmed..."
The white-clad ship girl had a complex expression, her eyes filled with grievance and worry.
Xiaobai stared at the white-clad ship girl for a long time, momentarily dazed, before realizing what was happening.
It seems that this white-clad ship girl... is one of the few ship girls in the Nanxing Naval Base who truly knows Nanxing's current physical condition.
No wonder she absolutely refused to let the medical team in.
"...I assure you, she'll be alright," Xiaobai said to the white-clad ship girl. "Trust me, I won't let you down."
Chapter 3187 Let's have a pork chop first!
Hearing Xiaobai's personal assurance, the white-clad ship girl finally felt a little relieved.
The white-clad ship girl bowed slightly to Xiaobai, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said nothing more.
Xiaobai's gaze shifted to the black-clad ship girl beside him.
Xiaobai and the black-clad ship girl locked eyes for a moment.
The black-clad ship girl nodded slightly.
Only then did Xiaobai feel relieved enough to enter the temporary garrison headquarters.
