Elder brother's garrison

Xiao Bai meant that once Nan Xing allowed him to place a teleportation anchor point in her naval base, then Nan Xing's naval base would hold no secrets for Xiao Bai.

This action is tantamount to handing the key to one's own vault directly to a novice.

Nanxing listened to Xiaobai's words without even a hint of thought in her eyes. She simply shook her head slightly and spoke to Xiaobai.

"I do not mind."

"Sister Nanxing..." Xiaobai looked at Nanxing with some emotion, "You, you're so kind! From now on, we'll be even closer than neighbors!"

“Neighbor…” Nanxing murmured Xiaobai’s words. She thought for a moment, then nodded gently, seemingly satisfied with this answer. “Hmm… good.”

Xiao Bai stood on tiptoe and opened her arms to Nan Xing.

Nanxing bent down and hugged Xiaobai.

Outside the door, the white-clad ship girls were carrying cardboard boxes back and forth. Some of them noticed the sounds coming from Nanxing's room, so the ship girls cautiously approached and glanced into the room.

Then the ship girls saw that Shiro was tightly embracing her admiral, inseparable.

The ship girls withdrew their gazes with satisfaction, a contented smile on their lips.

"Sigh... Admiral Lu Lin and our admiral are truly in love."

"That's right. Admiral Lu Lin has been so busy with work lately. As soon as she realized we were leaving, she immediately put down her work and came to find our admiral."

If this isn't love~

"Waaaa, this couple is so sweet, I'm crying my eyes out."

"Alright, alright, let's not be third wheels here, let's go, let's go."

The white-clad ship girls who had been crowding at the entrance smiled fondly and ran off with their cardboard boxes in their arms.

Xiaobai and Nanxing slowly separated in the room.

The laughter and chatter of the ship girls outside the door naturally reached Xiaobai and Nanxing's ears.

Xiaobai and Nanxing looked at each other, their faces slightly flushed, and smiled at one another.

The ship girls of the Nanxing family have been misunderstanding the relationship between Xiaobai and Nanxing for quite some time now, and Xiaobai says she's gotten used to it.

"Sister Nanxing, can you wait for me?" Xiaobai asked Nanxing. "I need to ask the Admiral's Guild for a few days' leave before I can leave with you."

"Okay." Nanxing nodded. "I'll wait for you to come back."

"Hey." Xiaobai smiled at Nanxing, raised her hand and waved to Nanxing, then jumped out of Nanxing's room.

……

After leaving Nanxing's temporary garrison, Xiaobai headed towards the Admiral's Guild.

Throughout the journey, Xiaobai kept thinking about how to ask for leave to rest.

Regarding my decision to leave Chapter Eight with Nanxing...

If we think about it rationally, Xiaobai doesn't need to ask the Admiral's Guild for leave, and she doesn't even need to leave with Nanxing. She can just let Chaoda go with Nanxing, and after Chaoda arrives at the destination, she can drop off the teleportation point and come back to pick up Xiaobai.

Given Xiaobai's work efficiency, the work on Chapter 8 will not be affected in any way during this period.

That being said... this time, when Xiaobai and Nanxing leave Chapter 8, it will most likely be Xiaobai's only chance to visit Nanxing Garrison using normal transportation. The time spent with Nanxing along the way, the route to Nanxing Garrison, and the local customs and culture encountered along the way are all things that Xiaobai will find hard to give up.

There is something to say.

Technology is certainly convenient, but we must be careful not to let it destroy the sense of ritual in our lives.

The reason why the ship girls don't use ship equipment for convenience in their daily lives is this, and this is also the reason why Shiro is going on this trip.

Moreover.

Nanxing invited me to her house, and it would be rather impolite of me to only send Chaoda and others along.

Considering that Super Yamato's teleportation ability allows him to return at any time, although Xiaobai's departure with Nanxing will slightly affect the Admiral's Guild's daily operations, the impact will certainly not be so great as to mean he will never return.

Xiao Bai thought that taking a few days off for a trip shouldn't be a big problem.

Thinking this, Xiaobai had already returned to the main gate of the Admiral's Guild.

At the entrance of the Admiral's Guild, the greeters who had just arrived breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Xiaobai return, and walked up with smiles.

"President Lu Lin, you're finally back."

"During my absence, did anything unexpected happen at the guild?" Xiaobai asked the greeters.

"No, nothing happened, everything is peaceful." The greeters blushed and said apologetically, "But we feel more at ease when you're in the guild..."

Chapter 3339 Are you free lately?

Nearly 80% of the employees in the Admiral's Guild are ship girls.

These ship girls are not from the newbie naval base; most of them are official ship girls assigned here by the admiral headquarters to perform auxiliary work.

Of course.

Now that Xiaobai is the rightful guild leader of Chapter 8, the ship girls sent by the admirals and governors have naturally become Xiaobai's people.

The ship girls in the newbie naval base are called Admiral Shiro.

The ship girls in the Admiral's Guild are called Guild Leader Shiro.

Xiao Bai is now a sinful woman with two "homes".

congratulations.

Xiaobai smiled and glanced at the ship girls in front of her.

The ship girls in the Admiral's Guild are not very strong in combat, and the vast majority of them are civilian types, so they are definitely not comparable to the military ship girls in Chapter 8. However, compared to regular military ship girls, most of them have undergone professional training at the Admiral's Headquarters, and have professional advantages in various aspects that regular ship girls cannot match. They are an important part of supporting the normal operation of the entire Admiral's Guild.

For example, nurse ship girls, welcoming ship girls, receptionist ship girls, and so on.

Of course.

Since the clerical work of the Admiral's Guild does not require the identity of a ship girl, why does the Admiral's Headquarters go to the trouble of training these non-combat professional ship girls and having them join the Admiral's Guild?

After all, it is well known that ship girls are not naturally good at anything other than deep-sea combat compared to humans, so it is more difficult and more expensive to train them professionally.

Is it because ship girls are more pleasing to the eye?

The answer is actually surprisingly simple.

First is the loyalty of the ship girls.

Compared to humans, ship girls are not only beautiful, but also have incredibly pure hearts. There is almost no scheming or infighting among ship girls, so they are more focused and efficient when commanding and dispatching missions.

A massive admiral's guild has an enormous workload to handle every day.

A building of this scale has a mission in itself and cannot withstand the constant erosion of factions and infighting.

Furthermore, ship girls are often energetic, physically strong, and have long lifespans. In facilities like the Admiral's Guild, it's common to work overtime for days and nights in the event of a sudden incident in the chapter's sea area. Ship girls often demonstrate better resilience and adaptability in such an environment. Moreover, ship girls are orphans with no ties. They eat and live in the Admiral's Guild and generally do not resign. Their average age at employment is even longer than that of the guild leader, which can also reduce the occurrence of unexpected personnel changes.

Besides that, there is one more crucial reason.

That is because the Admiral's Guild is, after all, a building stationed on the edge of the deep sea. In the event of an extreme situation such as a deep-sea siege, these civilian ship girls, although they do not have the combat power of high-end ship girls, can definitely protect themselves. Even in the worst case, the ship girls have an invincible survival method - heavily damaged protection to withstand the damage.

To summarize briefly...

For large facilities like the Admiral's Guild, although civilian ship girls are extremely expensive to train and rare, once successfully trained, their role far surpasses that of humans.

Therefore, except for a very few ship girls who are simply unable to handle the high-difficulty leadership roles, the vast majority of the leadership positions within the Admiral's Guild are held by ship girls.

Ship girls are so nice.

Ship girls are the best gift God has given to mankind.

Xiao Bai smiled as she looked at the greeters.

"Speaking of which, where is Miss Yingying now?" Xiaobai asked.

"Is that Manager Yingying? She's in her office right now." The welcoming ship girls chatted amongst themselves, pointing in one direction with their slender fingers. "Miss Yingying just finished her work for the day and is resting in her office."

"Okay, I'll go find her."

Xiao Bai responded to the ship girls, lifted her foot, and walked towards Luo Yingying's office with a smile.

……

The air in Luo Yingying's office was filled with the refreshing aroma of coffee.

Shenying stood in the corner of the office. She reached out and pressed the button on the coffee machine to brew a cup of capsule coffee. Then, she carried the steaming coffee in one hand to Luo Yingying's desk.

"Admiral, the coffee is ready. Would you like some sugar?"

As Shenying spoke, he picked up the bagged creamer and powdered sugar from the table.

"Add it! Same as always!"

Luo's whimpering voice came over.

Without even looking up, Shenying poured the creamer and sugar into the coffee, stirred it with a stirring stick, added some milk, and then pushed the brewed coffee toward Luo Yingying.

After doing all this, the Divine Eagle finally looked up at Luo Yingying.

Luo Yingying was sitting in her seat, holding a small mirror in one hand and an eyelash curler in the other, nitpicking at her reflection.

"Hmm...should I touch up this with some concealer...?"

"Ah, my lipstick is a bit too light."

"Is this length better, or should we use..."

Luo Yingying muttered softly as the cosmetics on the table piled up higher and higher.

Shenying looked at Luo Yingying and suddenly sighed.

"Admiral... what are you doing during working hours?"

"To touch up my makeup."

"Admiral...would Glorious Sister really be happy to see you like this?" Shenying asked Luo Yingying.

"You little eagle, what do you know?" Luo Yingying put down the cosmetics in her hand and looked at the eagle with a slight reproach. "Do you think I put on makeup for myself? I put on makeup so that Admiral Lu Lin wouldn't see my real face! What if I didn't do my makeup well and Admiral Lu Lin recognized me? When she thinks about how I've been deceiving her with a fake identity for so long, she'll be so angry that she'll tear me to pieces! And you won't be spared either!"

"I don't think President Lu Lin is a cruel person..."

"You can know a person's face but not their heart. You're still a long way off." Luo Ying whispered, picking up lipstick and applying it to her lips. "I'm doing this all for everyone in the garrison, sacrificing myself..."

"...But you've gotten used to using a feminine voice in your daily life now."

"Cough cough cough, you're talking nonsense... um... cough cough... what nonsense are you talking about?" Luo Yingying's shoulders trembled, she coughed a few times with wide eyes, and looked at the Divine Eagle, "If you want to deceive the enemy, you must deceive yourself! That's my understanding!"

The Divine Eagle had nothing to say.

With his head down, Shenying pushed the coffee cup toward Luo Yingying.

Luo Yingying put down the makeup mirror, took a few sips of coffee, and let out a long sigh.

“Recently… since President Lu Lin took office, it’s obvious that your workload has become much lighter, Admiral.” Shenying said to Luo Yingying, looking at her relaxed appearance. “You never used to have this much rest time.”

“Hmm…” Luo Yingying paused for a moment, opened her mouth, but only made a soft hum, “…Admiral Lu Lin processes documents very quickly, often distributing a day’s worth of documents in just a few hours, so it’s much easier for me to handle them than before. Moreover, her ability to mobilize resources is very strong, she has an exceptionally clear understanding of the personnel in the Admiral’s Guild, and she is very skilled in allocating resources and responsibilities… Sometimes I even feel that she knows my own abilities better than I do… She’s only been in office for a few days, she’s a truly terrifying person.”

“But it should be a good thing,” said the Divine Eagle.

"..." Luo Yingying was silent for a while, but still nodded. However, after nodding, she suddenly became alert and looked up at the divine eagle, saying, "Huh, something's not right."

"Admiral, what's wrong?"

"I feel like you've been praising Admiral Lu Lin the whole time!" Luo Yingying pointed at Shenying and said with lingering fear, "You're in a very dangerous situation right now!"

“I…” The Divine Eagle opened its mouth, wanting to explain.

"No, no, no, I have to contact Glory quickly to book tickets and send you back!" Luo Yingying hurriedly picked up her phone.

"Admiral, you've misunderstood..." Shenying sighed.

"What's there to misunderstand? Back then, your sister Rong and I were..."

Luo Yingying said loudly.

However, at that moment, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Glory? What glory?"

Upon hearing this sound, both Shenying and Luo Yingying inside the house were immediately taken aback.

They both turned their heads at the same time and looked towards the doorway.

At the doorway, Xiaobai held the doorknob and looked at the two people inside.

Seeing the two people's astonished looks, Xiaobai subconsciously let go of the doorknob, smiled sheepishly, and pointed to the door.
