"Did you hear that? Warspite, Lianlian has poured a lot of effort into you." Xiaobai said to Warspite with a smile, "You are Lianlian's one and only secretary ship. I believe you can definitely get through this!"
Xiao Bai's smile is full of sunshine.
His heart was weary of war and filled with despair.
"Do not……"
With a mournful cry, Warwear let out a thud, its head slumped, and it collapsed.
When Xiaobai helped Warspite up from the ground, she had already fallen into a deep sleep.
Warspite was covered in a mixture of sweat and seawater, his clothes clung to his body, and his body hissed and emitted a terrible heat. His beautiful face still had the flush of exercise, and his breathing in his sleep was as focused and deep as that of a sleeping baby.
"give it to me."
Luo Lian stood up and took the Warspite from Yan Zhan.
Luo Lian picked up Zhan Yan in her arms and placed her on the seat behind her.
"Isn't the training intensity for Warspite too high?" Xiaobai asked worriedly from the side.
“It is a bit too much.” Luo Lian nodded. “My original plan was that as long as she showed signs of not being able to keep up during training, I would reduce her training volume in the next session.”
"But?" Xiao Bai waited for Luo Lian's next question.
“But… although Warspite would complain to me for a long time after each session, she actually persevered through each training session from beginning to end without slacking off or giving up for even a second.” Luo Lian squatted down beside Warspite and reached out to stroke her sleeping forehead. “So even after so many days, her training volume has not decreased once.”
"She's very resilient, unlike her appearance." Xiaobai said with admiration.
"Let's not talk about her for now." Luo Lian withdrew her hand and said to Xiao Bai, "After you came back, did you go to the Admiral's Guild in Chapter Eight?"
"Hmm? No." Xiaobai shook her head. "I came to find you as soon as I got back."
“Oh…” Luo Lian turned her head to the side, her back to Xiao Bai, and smoothed Yan Zhan’s hair. “…It’s fine.”
"Then Lianlian, I won't disturb your training any longer." Xiaobai said with a smile from behind Luo Lian. "Nia is in the 8-4 sea area right now, right? I'll go to the Admiral's Guild to take a look. I've been away for so long, and I'm a little worried about the work situation there."
"Mm." Luo Lian nodded.
Xiao Bai waved to Luo Lian and left the training ground.
Luo Lian stared at Xiao Bai's departing figure, remaining silent for a long time.
……
Just as Xiaobai was about to leave the temporary garrison and had reached the gate, a shout suddenly came from the bushes on one side.
"Huh? Isn't this the Admiral?!"
Xiao Bai stopped in his tracks.
This familiar inverted sentence...
Xiao Bai turned its head to look at the bushes by the roadside.
The next second, a small head with pink, shoulder-length hair popped out of the bushes.
"Yo, Admiral!" Jinan beamed, waving his arm vigorously at Xiaobai. "Where are you going?"
"Jinan!?" Xiaobai looked at him in surprise. "What are you doing in the bushes?"
Jinan emerged from the bushes.
Wow…
Leaves fell all over the ground.
Jinan patted the leaves sticking to her body and winked at Xiaobai.
"...Huh? This smell...sniff, sniff..."
Jinan came up to Xiaobai, walked around it a few times, closed its eyes and sniffed Xiaobai, then its eyes lit up.
"Oh? I can sense the missile upgrade! The radar is beeping!" Jinan looked at Xiaobai with surprise, "Is the Admiral about to awaken the missile ship's equipment?"
"Huh? Me? Missile-equipped ship? No way..." Xiaobai was stunned for a moment. She touched her body. "My ship equipment shouldn't have missiles..."
"Hmm...on a closer look, it does seem to be true..." Jinan stroked his snow-white chin, looking at Xiaobai strangely, "The feeling of this missile modification is a bit vague, is it just my imagination?"
"It's probably just my imagination," Xiaobai said, reaching out to rub Jinan's head. "What were you doing hiding in the bushes?"
"Oh! Speaking of that." Jinan immediately laughed, turning around and reaching her hand into the bushes. "Look, Admiral!"
The next second, Jinan joined hands.
There was a crash!
To Xiaobai's astonishment, a snow-white arm was pulled out of the bushes by Jinan.
The next second, a tall, voluptuous, snow-white body broke through the fallen leaves and was pulled out by Jinan.
Xiao Bai was surprised when he saw the figure being pulled out of Jinan.
“Project 24? How could you be hiding in a place like this with Jinan…” Xiaobai looked at the expressionless woman in front of him in surprise.
"Admiral's inspection detected. Brief report to begin: Two hours, forty-eight minutes, and seven seconds ago, the ship girl Jinan developed a strong interest in this machine. Therefore, without consulting the machine, she forcibly pulled it from its standby coordinates to the target location for a detailed inspection of its ship equipment, against the machine's will. The inspection was completed at 76.99 percent when she encountered the Admiral." Project 24 said expressionlessly.
“Uh…” Xiaobai looked at Jinan.
Simply put... Jinan needed to inspect the ship's equipment for Project 24, so they brought her here?
"Admiral, aren't you curious about the ship equipment of Project 24?!" Jinan, seeing Xiaobai's gaze, immediately started practicing her Rasengan technique and excitedly said, "That's ship equipment with completely different technology from our era! If we could reverse engineer their ship equipment to develop technology, that would be..."
"Alright, alright." Xiaobai called out to Jinan and gently tapped Jinan's forehead with her hand. "Montana said that we should not study the technology of her and Project 24. If their advanced technology is discovered by humans now, it may have a bad butterfly effect. You should give up this idea."
"Uh..." Jinan held his forehead and pouted.
"I'm sorry, Project 24, I've caused you trouble." Xiaobai looked at Project 24 and said apologetically.
“No need to apologize.” Project 24 shook its head expressionlessly. “This machine was not injured in this incident. Compared to the physical impact caused by the Admiral’s mental network connection, it is insignificant.”
"..." Xiaobai remained silent.
"Admiral's network? Physical assault?" Jinan, rubbing his forehead, leaned close to Xiaobai. "What did you do to Project 24, Admiral?"
"Cough cough cough." Xiaobai pressed Jinan's head and coughed twice, turning her head to the side. "I... I have to go to the Admiral's Guild next, so I won't be able to keep you company..."
"Hmm? Is the Admiral going out? Take me with you!"
"Hmm? Are you free in Jinan?"
"Sure, we've got plenty of free time," Jinan said with a smile, glancing at the 24 Project member who had been given to him. "Want to come along, 24 Project member?"
Project 24 stared expressionlessly at Xiaobai and Jinan.
Project 24's gaze swept past Jinan and lingered on the curious young man's face.
After a while, Project 24 nodded slightly.
Chapter 3384 The Daily Life I've Always Dreamed Of
It's quite normal for ship girls to accompany the admiral on outings in the admiral community, and admirals don't need many reasons to bring ship girls with them when they go out.
Therefore, when Jinan proposed to go to the Admiral's Guild with Xiaobai, Xiaobai agreed without hesitation. As for Project 24, Xiaobai also cast a glance for advice.
"Admiral, this unit needs two minutes and fourteen seconds to prepare before switching to outward mode," Project 24 said to Xiaobai.
"How come the time is exactly zero and even?"
Project 24 didn't speak, but answered Xiaobai's question with actions.
Project 24 opened its ship equipment space right in front of Xiaobai, took out a coat, and draped it over itself, covering its body, which originally had more than 70% of its skin exposed.
Project 24 kept her head down, her fingers working methodically and mechanically to fasten the buttons on her coat. By the time she finished fastening her coat, exactly two minutes and fourteen seconds had passed, no more and no less.
"Admiral, the machine's outbound mode is ready."
"Let's head out now." Xiaobai nodded to Project 24 and pushed open the gate of the temporary garrison.
Rumble…
The gate opened, and pedestrians came and went on the street.
Xiaobai led two ship girls onto the street. Among the pedestrians were many admirals who looked relaxed. These admirals were originally taking a walk with their ship girls when Xiaobai appeared. Upon seeing Xiaobai, their expressions first froze, then immediately turned to fear and astonishment. Finally, they quickly pulled up the ship girls beside them, lowered their heads, and hurriedly turned away.
Wow…
Xiao Bai had only been on the street for a few minutes when the number of people on the street had decreased by at least half, making it seem much quieter.
"Tsk tsk tsk." Jinan shook his head and clicked his tongue. "You're really amazing, Admiral."
"The level of public panic was detected to have risen from 14% to 172% within 30 seconds, and the streets are clear," Project 24 stated.
"..." Xiaobai, standing to the side, didn't know whether to smile bitterly or do anything else.
Xiaobai led the two ship girls toward the Admiral's Guild. On the way, when they passed through some alleys where they could temporarily hide, Xiaobai slipped in, took out her magical baseball cap, and put it on.
After being equipped with the magical baseball cap, pedestrians nearby will no longer be scared away by Xiaobai, and Xiaobai and the two ship girls can finally enjoy a harmonious and lively street environment for the time being.
"Is there anything you'd like to eat?" Xiaobai walked along the street, looking at the vendors hawking their wares on both sides, and then looked back at the ship girls.
"I'm not hungry," Jinan shook her head.
"There are exactly three hours until the next mealtime," Project 24 replied expressionlessly.
"Okay." Xiaobai touched her baseball cap, ran to the vendor and bought herself a string of candied hawthorns, then returned to the ship girl's side.
The food in Chapter 3385, whether it's a main course or a snack, is of world-class quality.
Take the candied hawthorn skewer in Xiaobai's hand, for example. When Xiaobai was in human society, he had never seen a candied hawthorn skewer that was so big, so round, and so red.
Chapter 3386 is a really good place.
Xiao Bai took a bite of a candied hawthorn, revealing a satisfied smile, and walked forward while chewing.
The two ship girls behind Xiaobai turned their attention to her, staring at the half-skewer of candied hawthorns in her hand. As they watched her chew like a hamster, their expressions changed slightly.
"Admiral, Admiral, give me one!" Jinan walked up quickly, tugged at Xiaobai's sleeve, and said expectantly.
"Huh? Didn't you just say you weren't going to eat any?" Xiaobai paused for a moment, then glanced at the candied hawthorn stall not far away. "Then let's go back and buy another skewer..."
"No, no, I want to eat the skewer in the Admiral's hand!" Jinan grabbed Xiaobai's arm and shook it, then immediately came over, hugging Xiaobai's arm and jumping up and down.
Jinan's full breasts, in stark contrast to her petite frame, rubbed against Xiaobai's body.
Being held by a missile destroyer and constantly shouting "I want it, I want it..." does make one's heart flutter a little...
"Hey... well... if you don't mind..." Xiaobai held the remaining half of the candied hawthorn to Jinan's mouth.
Jinan cheered, opened her little mouth, and used her delicate front teeth to bite into a bright red candied hawthorn. She then pulled her head to one side and put a hawthorn in her mouth, chewing it with relish.
"Thank you, Admiral!" Jinan smiled at Xiaobai while chewing, then hugged her arm and rested his head on her shoulder.
Xiaobai looked helplessly at Jinan, then turned her gaze to Project 24.
Project 24 quietly observed the interaction between Xiaobai and Jinan.
For a fleeting moment, Xiaobai could feel Project 24's gaze lingering on the candied hawthorn in Xiaobai's hand for a few seconds.
Xiao Bai looked down at the remaining candied hawthorns in his hand and handed the candied hawthorn skewer to Project 24.
"Want to eat?"
"Thank you for the gift." Project 24 reached out and took the candied hawthorn from Xiaobai. She held the two ends of the bamboo skewer, pulled the candied hawthorn horizontally, and ate it expressionlessly.
Project 24 neither said that the candied hawthorn was delicious nor that it was bad. She just quietly ate it in small bites, and her appetite seemed quite normal.
So... since both of these ship girls have a normal appetite, why did they both say they didn't want to eat just now...?
……well……
...which meant I could only eat half a skewer.
Feeling the embrace of Jinan beside her, and looking at the cold face of Project 24, Xiaobai looked back at the candied hawthorn stall that was already some distance away, and felt a little regretful.
After finishing their candied hawthorns, Xiaobai and his two companions arrived at the gate of the Admiral's Guild.
The magnificent Eighth Chapter Admiral's Guild was bustling with activity as always.
Xiaobai's magical baseball cap could only fool those who weren't very familiar with his face. However, the staff in the Admiral's Guild were already quite familiar with him. When they saw Xiaobai leading the ship girls in, their expressions were initially puzzled, but after seeing Xiaobai's face under the baseball cap, they were surprised, and then their surprise turned into delight.
"President...is that you, president?"
"President? You're back!"
Several attendant ship girls quickly stepped forward and called out to Xiaobai with delight.
Xiao Bai smiled and waved to the staff, then made a shushing gesture.
