"What's wrong? Do you also think he's bragging?" Xiaobai asked Jinan with a smile.
"No, no, I'm telling the truth!" Jinan immediately shook her head. She took two steps up the stairs, then jumped up and pounced on Xiaobai's back, wrapping her legs around his thighs. "Hehe! Admiral, you're the best!"
“Lexington doesn’t want you to stay at my house because if you do, Fubuki and the others will find out and come to stay too, and then more and more people will want to stay at my house—” Xiaobai carried Jinan’s bottom and carried Jinan downstairs. “Actually, it’s not that I don’t want to live with you guys… it’s just that we don’t have a house big enough, so we can only stay on the wedding ship for now.”
"Then, Admiral, I'll be your wedding ship!" Jinan snuggled against Xiaobai's back, rubbing against Xiaobai's shoulder, and asked excitedly, "If I become the Admiral's wedding ship, can I move in too?"
"You want to be my wedding ship?"
"Yes, I like the Admiral!"
"Oh... I'll think about it."
"What are you thinking about, Admiral!" Jinan pressed Xiaobai's shoulder, leaned in and gave Xiaobai's face a light kiss twice, "Let me be the Admiral's marriage ship too!"
Chapter 3773 The Modifier
Regarding Jinan's strong request to become Xiaobai's marriage ship, Xiaobai himself felt the wonderful sensation of her delicate and light body rubbing against him with her repeated pleas of "Admiral, please?" and "Give it to me, give it to me." In the end, he just smiled and didn't really take it seriously.
Although the voice of Jinan was so soft and sweet it almost melted into my bones, in the end... a wedding ring isn't something you can just give out casually.
Little White carried Jinan on its back, walking and walking until it went downstairs and came to a flat road.
Jinan didn't linger on Xiaobai for long; she jumped down and looked around the road with boundless energy.
"Admiral, admiral, how big is our garrison?" Jinan seemed to have entered a new world. She put her hands together to form a telescope shape and looked around. Then she turned to Xiaobai and asked excitedly.
"Well... it would probably take half a day to cycle around like that," Xiaobai said after thinking for a while.
"Wow! It's so big!"
"After all, it's been expanded several times, but the expansion was a bit overdone back then, leaving many areas still unsure of how to develop them." Xiaobai thought for a moment, then smiled at Jinan and said, "Oh, by the way, how about we build a dedicated missile range for you missile ship girls?"
"Hey! Really?!" Jinan's eyes lit up with excitement as soon as he heard about the missile test range.
"After all, it's a bit restrictive for missile ship girls to participate in the daily training of ordinary ship girls..." Xiaobai reached out and touched Jinan's head, muttering to herself, "When the daily training grounds for ship girls were designed, the existence of missile ship equipment was not actually considered at all. Now that missile ship girls are almost common, your super long range is obviously not an advantage in the limited training grounds, and you won't get any training. Before, when Fubuki and Changchun were secretly tinkering with missile ship equipment, they accidentally launched a missile into my forehead. Although nothing serious happened afterward... I also wondered if it was because we didn't design a special missile range for missile ship girls..."
As Xiaobai muttered to herself, she suddenly felt that Jinan beside her had stopped moving.
Xiao Bai looked down at Jinan.
Jinan was staring at him with wide eyes and an open mouth.
"Jinan? What happened?"
"Admiral, you were really hit by a missile?" Jinan asked in surprise, clenching his small fist.
"Ah..." Xiaobai was stunned for a moment. She looked at Jinan's expression as if he had seen some kind of demon or monster, smiled, rubbed her forehead and said, "That was a long time ago... It's nothing serious. Lexington put some band-aids on it and it was almost healed by that night."
"Waaah, Admiral, you're too amazing..." Jinan covered her mouth, deeply moved. "Sister Changchun bombarded you with missiles, and you still think it's your fault for not arranging a suitable missile range for her..."
"I'm not that strong... It's just that this matter has been delayed until now..." Xiaobai smiled and said to Jinan, "It just so happens that you're back at the naval base to develop missile ship girls this time. In the future, missile ship girls will need more training opportunities, so I'll arrange the missile range as soon as possible."
"Yay!" Jinan nodded happily. "Admiral, shall we go find the ship girls now?"
“Ah…no rush.” Xiaobai interrupted Jinan.
"……what?"
"Let's eat first," Xiaobai said with a smile, reaching out to cover her stomach.
……
Xiaobai led Jinan to the ship girl canteen at the newbie garrison.
The ship girl canteen at the newbie naval base is generally open for meals during the three designated meal times. At other times, it only serves leftovers from the previous meal. However, even outside of meal times, the canteen doors are never closed. The kitchen is open to all ship girls except those with the "Cooking Killer" talent. The canteen's ingredient warehouse is also well-stocked with all kinds of cooking materials. As long as they don't waste food, ship girls can come in and take ingredients for free to cook whatever they want.
Furthermore, if the ship girls have a way to ask the ship girls in the kitchen to give them special treatment, it is also allowed according to the rules.
Xiaobai arranged an empty seat for Jinan in the cafeteria. She went to the buffet entrance alone, rang the bell, and saw the ship girls preparing ingredients in the kitchen.
The ship girls piled up in the kitchen were mostly skilled cooks from the naval base. Some were long-term employees of the canteen, some were cooking for themselves out of boredom, and others were there to help out. As soon as they saw that it was Xiaobai ringing the bell, their originally lazy state immediately perked up. They rolled up their sleeves, as if they were about to show off their martial arts skills, and rushed over one after another, telling Xiaobai that no matter what Xiaobai wanted to eat, whether it was dragon meat from the sky or sea monster meat from the water, they would do their best to satisfy it.
look.
The admiral will never starve in the naval base.
After a flurry of activity in the canteen kitchen, Xiaobai finally received the food she wanted. She bowed deeply to the ship girls, expressed her sincere gratitude, and returned to Jinan amidst their satisfied smiles.
"Jinan, here you go." Xiaobai placed the dish he got from the ship girls in the kitchen in front of Jinan and sat down opposite her with a smile.
"Admiral, wait... what's this...?"
Jinan looked at the dishes Xiaobai placed in front of her and was momentarily surprised.
The food laid out in front of Jinan was a plate of several golden fried pancakes that looked like little whirlwinds, and a bowl of soup with vermicelli, vegetables, peanuts and other ingredients.
"Fried dough twists and sweet porridge!" Jinan clasped his hands together and shouted happily to Xiaobai.
“Yes,” Xiaobai nodded with a smile, “Let’s see if it tastes authentic.”
"Hehe! Let's dig in!"
Jinan grabbed a piece of fried dough, dipped it in the soup, and then took a big bite.
A crisp, crunchy sound immediately came from Jinan's mouth. Jinan closed her eyes, a very satisfied expression on her face. She tilted her little head to each side twice, and finally opened her eyes and smiled at Xiaobai.
"It's delicious! Admiral, this is so delicious! It tastes exactly like I imagined!"
“There wasn’t much of this for sale in Chapter 8, but luckily our naval base has everything.” Xiaobai cupped her cheeks and smiled at Jinan. “Although this doesn’t look like something to eat at this time of year… let’s eat more if it’s delicious.”
"I mentioned this to the Admiral once before, how come you still remember it?"
"I have a very good memory."
In Jinan, while eating fried dough twists with sweet porridge, I found myself happily dangling my legs.
Jinan food is much more delicious than it looks. A few palm-sized pieces of fried dough twists and a big bowl of sweet porridge were quickly devoured by Jinan.
After finishing her meal in Jinan, she wiped her shiny, oily hands with satisfaction, then relaxed in her chair, her fluffy pink hair cascading over her shoulders, and sighed with delight.
"Wow—that's really great!"
"Are you full? Want some more?" Xiaobai asked.
"I'm full! I'm full!" Jinan immediately stood up, wiped her mouth, tidied up the empty bowls on the table, and grinned at Xiaobai, "Admiral, hehe, I'm at full speed now, let's go find the missile ship to install it!"
"Oh...right, speaking of which, you haven't shown me how you're going to find ship girls with missile-equipped capabilities yet," Xiaobai asked Jinan. "Do you need me to call the ship girls to you one by one?"
"No need, no need, that's too much trouble." Jinan bent his legs and nimbly jumped off the chair, then put his hands on his hips and reached out to Xiaobai, "Admiral, come on, now that we're full, our great adventure is about to begin!"
Xiao Bai reached out to Jinan.
Jinan grabbed Xiaobai's wrist, and the two of them left the table one after the other and ran out of the cafeteria.
After running out of the cafeteria, Jinan had Xiaobai stand behind her. She stretched out her hands in front of her eyes and looked at the empty square in front of her.
As he watched, Jinan explained things to Xiaobai.
"Admiral, actually I can see her! If a ship girl capable of missile-equipped modifications appears within my detection range, I can clearly sense her," Jinan said, holding up a finger to Xiaobai. "It's like the smell of stinky tofu wafting in the wind! Very obvious!"
"This analogy is really..." Xiaobai smiled wryly.
"Ah! I smell it, I smell it, the smell of missile ship equipment, it's so strong!" Just as Xiaobai finished speaking, Jinan suddenly seemed to sense something. She straightened up and rushed to a certain spot to look.
"So fast?"
"Admiral, hurry! It's over there!" Jinan immediately pointed in a direction, grabbed Xiaobai's wrist, and ran towards that direction.
Xiaobai and Jinan ran one after the other.
Along the way, Jinan felt the "smell" in the air, and she became more and more excited, turning back to confirm with Xiaobai.
"Admiral, it's getting clearer and clearer! This is the clearest it's ever been!"
"Hmm...that's good, that's good..." Xiaobai nodded, looking around at the trail of movement along the way.
The place Jinan wanted to take Xiaobai to was a ship girl activity station.
The so-called ship girl activity center is a place specially built by the naval base to provide ship girls with cultural, entertainment, fitness and other services.
The newbie naval base has many ship girl activity stations, almost all of which have a different style. Some focus on quiet and relaxing activities like card games, illustration, and gardening; others focus on physical exercise and unrestrained revelry with music; some focus on artistic development like painting and sculpture; and still others are places like beer bars that are only accessible to large ships like heavy cruisers and battleships...
The activity station that Jinan is now leading newbies to is the ship girl activity station in the newbie naval base, which mainly features card and board games.
Chapter 3774 Someone Else
"A chess and card game-type activity site... Could it be... Jinan, wait a minute... the missile ship equipment you mentioned... wouldn't it be..."
Looking at the activity station sign so close by, Xiaobai suddenly realized something.
"Admiral! Admiral! We're here!"
Jinan sensed something at that moment, and before Xiaobai could call out to her, she grabbed Xiaobai and rushed into the activity station.
There was a crash.
Xiao Bai and Jinan burst through the door curtain.
The ship girls inside the event station all looked up at Xiaobai and Jinan.
The activity station for chess and card games wasn't very large; it occupied only the size of a supermarket storefront. Inside was a simple white hall with gray tiles, and the walls were decorated with the words "Small bets are not pleasant, big bets are harmful to health." Several mahjong tables and card game tables were set up in the hall. When Xiaobai and Jinan first entered, they could hear the crisp clinking of mahjong tiles and the rumbling sound of shuffling and rolling the tiles on the mahjong tables.
"Huh? The Admiral?!"
The ship girls at the chess and card game activity site all exclaimed in surprise when they saw Xiaobai.
"Hey! When did you return to the naval base, Admiral?!"
"What a rare guest, Admiral! It's great to see you here!"
The ship girls sat in their respective chairs, greeting Xiaobai with smiles on their faces.
Xiaobai waved to the ship girls in the chess and card room with a smile.
Hello everyone...
As Xiao Bai greeted them, his gaze also fell on one of the card and board game tables.
On this chess and card table, two ship girls with black hair and red eyes, wearing short-skirted sailor uniforms in white and blue, and with cherry blossom pendants on their hands, are sitting with two other ship girls with blonde hair and blue eyes, wearing short-skirted sailor uniforms in a different style, and with red scarves tied around their necks.
"Jinan...the missile ship equipment they're talking about...could it be them...?"
Xiao Bai gently put her hand on Jinan's shoulder, looked at the four ship girls in front of her... especially the pair with black hair and red eyes, and said with a strange expression.
"Hmm... Hmm??" Jinan was also observing the two ship girls. She stared at their faces and bodies for a while, her brows sometimes relaxing and sometimes furrowing. Finally, as if she realized something, Jinan suddenly opened her eyes wide and turned to Xiaobai, saying, "Wow! Admiral, it seems that the two of them... already have missile ship equipment!"
"really……"
Xiao Bai patted Jinan on the shoulder and laughed.
"Huh? What missile? What did they originally mean?" Ooi and Kitakami, who were sitting at the mahjong table, heard the keywords and subconsciously exchanged a glance. Then they looked at Shiro curiously. "Admiral, are you and this new girl talking about us?"
"Ah... well..." Xiaobai smiled shyly. She took Jinan's hand and led him to the mahjong table, introducing him to Dajing and Beishang, "Dajing, Beishang, this is Jinan."
"Hello, you're so clever and cute." Bei Shang pursed his lips and greeted Jinan.
"Hmm... little girl, you remind me of Changchun." Da Jing tapped her chin with her slender finger, stared at Jinan's face for a while, and then said to Jinan.
"She is indeed related to Changchun and Anshan in terms of seniority," Xiaobai explained.
"Oh I got it!"
Xiaobai nodded and looked at the other two ship girls at the card table.
The people sitting opposite Dajing and Beishang were Yorktown and Bumblebee. To be honest, these were people the two newbies never expected to be here.
"Bumblebee, Yorktown, this is Jinan."
“Yes, yes, hello Jinan,” Yorktown said.
"Judging from what you said just now, Admiral, it seems you're here to see Kitakami and Oi?" Bumblebee cautiously looked at the two in front of her. "You're probably not here to see me... I didn't hear Lexington mention anything about deploying my B-25..."
"Don't worry, we're not here for your B25." Xiaobai waved with a smile.
"Phew...that's a relief." Bumblebee patted his chest, a look of relief on his face.
"Actually, Jinan's capabilities are like this..." Xiaobai began to introduce Jinan's capabilities to the ship girls present, and explained her and Jinan's purpose in coming.
After listening to Xiaobai's explanation, Yorktown and Bumblebee at the mahjong table immediately understood, and they smiled as they looked at Beishang and Dajing.
"Oh my, so you're here for North and Big Well after all. How's it going? Your modifications are here!" Yorktown and Bumblebee said with smiles.
"..."
After hearing Xiaobai's explanation, Kitakami and Oi both had expressions that were a bit like laughing and crying at the same time.
"Oh... I see. But I'm really sorry, Jinan kid, we've actually already undergone a modification similar to missile shipboards. We're now torpedo cruisers."
