“Nia, your skill level is actually enough to crush a lot of admirals outside.” Xiaobai laughed upon hearing this. “You’ve only been an admiral for a short time. Look at the top two in the world now…who among the top forty has been an admiral for a shorter time than you?”
"...Like you, Xiaobai?"
"I have the protection of my predecessors, so the situation is slightly different." Xiaobai scratched his head and laughed. "Alright, alright, I've never thought that you, Nia, haven't used it. On the contrary, I've always thought you're amazing. Every time I see you again, you surprise me."
As Nia listened to Xiaobai's praise, she sniffed and her eyes began to redden.
After a while, Nia silently hugged Little White and rubbed against it vigorously.
Xiaobai was pounced on by Nia and put on the bed.
Xiao Bai enjoyed Nia's sudden enthusiasm and couldn't help but smile helplessly.
When Nia got excited, she was like a little kitten begging for food, meowing and rubbing against people.
Itchy.
soft.
Quite interesting.
……
The ship girls from Nia's family quickly packed their bags and returned to Nia's dormitory.
When the ship girls returned, they found Nia sitting on the bed with her face as red as an apple, and Shiro standing to the side with her clothes and hair a little messy.
Upon seeing this scene, the ship girls remained silent for a moment before looking at Nia with questioning eyes.
Nia blushed even more at the gazes of the ship girls, and she quickly shook her head shyly.
The ship girls then withdrew their gazes with some skepticism.
Da Feng quickly jumped onto the bed, carefully squatted down, and checked every corner of the sheets.
After seeing that the sheets, though messy, were clean and without any stains, Da Feng wiped away her sweat, patted her chest, and pouted as she looked at Nia.
"Alright, everyone, have you all packed your bags? Let's head out."
Xiaobai tidied her clothes and hair and spoke to the ship girls.
The ship girls quickly nodded in agreement. They helped Nia up from the bed and carefully led her off the bed.
"Commander, are you alright? Do you want me to carry you?" Veneto asked with concern, holding Nia's hand.
"Thank you, Veneto, but it's nothing. I just woke up and am a little weak. I can take care of myself." Nia blushed and breathed a few breaths at Veneto, then smiled apologetically.
The ship girls remained silent for a moment, looking at their admiral's slightly messy long hair and his open collar that revealed his magnificent figure.
Nia's eldest daughter even started biting her fingernails, her beautiful and charming eyes darting back and forth between Xiaobai and Nia, looking quite aggrieved and jealous.
Nia was probably exhausted because she had just woken up.
"Speaking of which, Admiral Lu Lin, where are we going for training? And who are our instructors?" the ship girls asked Xiao Bai.
"Take a guess," Xiaobai asked with a smile.
"Hmm... Admiral Lu Lin, why are you so good at keeping us in suspense..." The ship girls looked at Xiaobai's perfect, Lexington-like smile and didn't know what to say for a moment. They immediately asked to confirm, "Then... since Admiral Lu Lin wants us to guess... then I guess we might be going to the newbie naval base. The sea area there is big and spacious, so no one will care what we do... is that right?"
"Hmm~" Xiaobai gestured for the ship girls to continue guessing.
"Then our instructor... isn't Miss Montana?" The ship girls looked at each other and said, "Miss Montana should be the strongest ship girl in the newbie naval base, she should be the best choice for instructor!"
"That's a pretty good guess," Xiaobai said with a smile.
"Could it be that we guessed right?" the ship girls exclaimed in surprise.
"Hehe." Faced with the ship girl's question, Xiaobai still didn't say anything, but just laughed twice.
Xiao Bai led everyone away from the dormitory building.
Downstairs in the dormitory building, Chaoda and Zaozao received Xiaobai's message early and waited for everyone at the door.
Upon seeing the crowd appear, Chao Da bowed to them.
"Greetings, Admiral and everyone."
"Super Yamato-san!"
When the ship girls from Nia's family saw Super Yamato, they greeted it as if it were one of their own.
When Nia left Chapter 8 to search the world for admirals to practice and improve her ranking, Super Yamato was already by their side. After spending several months together, they became old friends who knew each other inside and out, so it was impossible for them not to be close.
When Chao Yamato saw everyone, she first greeted them politely. However, after seeing Nia, Chao Yamato's expression turned worried, and she immediately went to Shiro's side.
"Admiral...is it alright to take Admiral Nia there?"
A huge whisper of concern in Xiaobai's ear.
Chapter 3236 Springing Up Like Bamboo Shoots After the Rain
Super Large expressed concern about Nia's situation.
Upon hearing this, Xiaobai stared at Nia for a moment, but soon revealed a faint smile and gently covered Chao Yamato's hand.
"It's okay, I know what I'm doing," Xiaobai said.
Since Xiaobai had said so, Chaodahe, though somewhat worried, kept his worries to himself and nodded slightly.
The group headed towards the warehouse.
Along the way, the ship girls looked left and right with curious expressions, as if they were searching for something.
"What are you looking at?" Xiaobai noticed the ship girls' gazes and asked.
"Admiral Lu Lin, isn't Miss Montana coming with us yet?" the ship girls asked Xiaobai.
"Ah... her." Xiaobai smiled upon hearing this, but didn't say anything more.
The ship girls eagerly awaited Xiaobai's reply, but Xiaobai remained silent, seemingly unprepared to explain.
The ship girls all pouted.
Strange things.
Although Admiral Lu Lin would occasionally joke around and pretend to be a riddle teller, she would always give the answer immediately after posing the riddle.
Today, Admiral Lu Lin spent an unusually long time answering the riddle.
Driven by curiosity, the group arrived at the food warehouse.
Chao Dahe took a deep breath in the middle of the food warehouse, glanced at Nia discreetly, and then raised her hand to summon a dark teleportation vortex.
A teleportation vortex appeared, and a dense aura of the deep sea instantly enveloped the surrounding cold air. The aura of the deep sea attempted to spread and infect the surroundings until it was stopped by the silver-white wall.
The ship girls present subconsciously shrank their shoulders, their eyes gleaming.
Although it was only a little bit, the ship girls subconsciously activated their ship equipment power.
This is the ship girls' physical reaction after coming into contact with the aura of the deep sea. It has nothing to do with the ship girls' original intention. Just like how humans shrink their bodies when they are exposed to cold air, it is a kind of conditioned reflex.
However, everyone present knew the identities of Super-Big and Dean of the Deep Sea. After experiencing physical reactions, they simply smiled apologetically at Super-Big, who nodded back to the ship girls without saying anything more.
"Let's go," Xiaobai said with a smile.
"Oh oh oh! Let's go! Target: Newbie Naval Base!" The ship girls immediately raised their snow-white fists.
"This is my first time visiting the newbie naval base, I'm a little excited..." One of the ship girls nervously breathed into her palm.
She stared at everyone with great curiosity, then looked at Xiaobai and met Xiaobai's gaze.
Xiaobai smiled, and Chaoda and the others looked away blankly. Then, as if they understood something, they cast a rather peculiar look at the ship girls before walking into the dark vortex.
The colossal Yamato disappeared into the vortex.
The ship girls also entered the vortex in twos and threes.
Nia was at the very back of the group. Just as she was about to step into the whirlpool, Xiaobai came up to her and took her arm.
"Huh? Little White?" Nia looked at Little White in surprise.
"Let me help you," Xiaobai smiled.
"I...I can walk by myself...I've used this vortex several times..."
"Hey, can you help me up?"
"Oh... well, thank you, Xiaobai..."
Seeing Xiaobai's insistence, Nia subconsciously nodded, letting Xiaobai help her up, and the two of them walked into the dark vortex.
The figures of everyone disappeared one after another into the vortex.
The vortex slowly shrank and disappeared without a trace.
The deep-sea atmosphere inside the food warehouse dissipated, and the place returned to its deserted state.
……
The group quickly left the whirlpool.
As soon as the Nia family's ship girls stepped out of the vortex, they immediately opened their eyes wide and looked around.
After all, in their understanding, the other side of the vortex was the legendary newbie naval base—it was said that every brick there was made of gold, and the huge naval base was like a country. The ship girls inside wore alluring and seductive outfits every day, walking barefoot on the jewel-inlaid roads. Every blade of grass and every tree along the roadside was a rare treasure, the fountains were filled with precious red wine, and the sky was always decorated with lanterns and fireworks.
—These are all things said by the admirals in Chapter 8.
Furthermore, the admirals also said that although the newbie naval base is a place like a paradise, if any ship girl or admiral goes there without being invited by the world's number one admiral, the result is often that they are completely devoured by this gorgeous and beautiful place, leaving not even bones behind.
Of course, from the perspective of Nia's ship girls, most of the above rumors are just that—rumors.
After all, given Xiaobai's financial resources, the bricks and tiles used to build the novice garrison could not possibly be something as mundane as gold; they should at least be high-grade deep-sea metals.
Now that the ship girls of Nia's family finally have the opportunity to visit the newbie naval base, everyone present is naturally very much looking forward to it.
but……
After the ship girls of Nia's family carefully observed the surrounding scenery, they were all stunned.
Therefore, when the group stepped out of the whirlpool, what appeared before them was not a magnificent palace, but a vast expanse of water filled with black mist.
The air was thick with the scent of the deep sea, and the seawater was as black as ink.
The surrounding sky was covered by countless thick fogs, the air was quiet without a breath of wind, but the temperature was so low that it chilled you to the bone.
Is this... the deep sea?
The ship girls opened their eyes wide.
Their gazes were fixed on the newbie naval base, weren't they? How did they end up here?
A newbie garrison... could it be a deep-sea stronghold?
Seeing the surprised and speechless expressions on the faces of the ship girls, Chao Yamato sighed slightly.
Just then, a sweet cry rang out from behind them.
"oops!"
Wow!
Accompanied by a delicate cry, the sound of water splashing rang out.
That's Nia's voice.
Upon hearing the voice, the ship girls instantly turned around and looked behind them.
As soon as Nia stepped out of the dark whirlpool, her feet touched the water's surface, and she immediately plunged into the water. Fortunately, the seawater only reached her ankles, and Little White behind Nia quickly hooked her arm and pulled her back to the surface.
Unfortunately, Little White was two heads shorter than Nia.
If Xiaobai were as tall as Nia, Nia wouldn't have stepped into the water.
"Uh...where is this...?" Nia stared wide-eyed, looking around in confusion.
The ship girls also looked completely clueless. They looked at Nia, then at Super Yamato, and then their gazes suddenly turned to Shiro.
The ship girls looked down and watched as Xiaobai's little boots steadily stepped on the water. Ripples spread outwards from Xiaobai's feet on the dark water.
"Hey, Admiral Lu Lin, you can stand on water?"
"...Huh? Admiral Lu Lin, what's going on...?"
The fact that Xiaobai, a mere human, could stand on the water was a feat that truly astonished the ship girls.
Facing the shocked gazes of the ship girls, Xiaobai smiled and tilted her head to look at Nia.
"Nia, you haven't told the ship girls about me all this time?"
