"Oh, aren't you going to watch TV anymore?"

"...It's okay, there's a videotape."

"Oh……"

"You just said you fell here while you were sleeping?" the Will of the Deep Sea asked.

“Yes.” Xiaobai nodded.

How did you fall in?

"I just fell asleep and came in," Xiaobai said.

The Will of the Deep Sea looked at Little White, seemingly considering what Little White had said.

"Uh... is it a very serious problem?" Xiaobai asked.

“It’s nothing serious. Your body was asleep when you entered the spiritual world, so it won’t affect you.” The Deep Sea Will paused here, “It’s probably because the spiritual world is changing too fast, and you couldn’t adapt in time, so you fell in.”

"Oh, that's how it is."

"I'll try to go slower next time."

"...It's not over yet." Xiaobai smiled awkwardly. "Xiaohong already has a lot."

“Yes,” said the Will of the Deep Sea, “It’s better if there are more of them.”

"why?"

"They are part of your spiritual world, the soil of your spiritual power. However, compared to ordinary soil, their advantage lies in their ability to grow. When you give them your spiritual power, their growth will also be reflected in your Admiral Network," said the Will of the Deep Sea.

"What is growth?" Xiaobai asked疑惑地问道, "Will Xiaohong and the others grow up?"

“It’s intellectual growth.” The Deep Sea Will pointed to the Deep Sea Taihou in the yard. “Don’t you think she’s become a little smarter?”

"Uh, that seems to be the case. My eyes seem brighter now." Xiaobai nodded.

“The split versions share memories with the original. When she first entered this place, her intelligence and emotional intelligence were almost zero because of that incident. It would take her a long time to recover. Later, I split her into several parts, which accelerated the recovery speed several times over,” the Deep Sea Will said.

"Oh... I see. So, Deep Sea Will, you're doing this for her own good."

"No, I just thought it was fun," the Deep Sea Will said firmly.

“But what you’re doing is good,” Xiaobai said with a smile.

The will of the deep sea fell silent.

"Did Little Red outside send back any useful information?" Little White asked the Will of the Deep Sea.

The Will of the Deep Sea glanced at Little White: "Not yet."

How is she now?

"I'm living a fairly comfortable life. At least I've managed to control some of the smaller ships with my courtyard-level mental power, so I'm not being bullied by other deep-sea amphibious ships," the Deep Sea Will said.

"Then you should tell her to stay away from the ship girls."

"Her will to survive is something you can't match." The Will of the Deep Sea reached out and poked Little White's forehead.

"Ah...you're right." Xiaobai covered her forehead and laughed at the Deep Sea Will. "So, has she figured out the reason for the deep-sea clusters on the surface?"

“The Deep Sea Cluster does indeed exist.” The Will of the Deep Sea nodded. “We estimate that the Deep Sea Dean will appear here soon.”

"Really?"

“Really,” the Will of the Deep Sea said, “but we haven’t found where the Dean of the Deep Sea is yet. I guess he’s one who’s still in the process of being conceived.”

"Oh..." Xiaobai nodded thoughtfully.

“But it’s alright. If the Deep Sea Dean really shows up, she’ll definitely be the first to find out. You can just take the ship girls and take care of it,” the Deep Sea Will said. “Or you can go yourself and let me handle it.”

"Okay, sure." Hearing the calm voice of the Deep Sea Will, Xiaobai felt a great sense of security.

The Will of the Deep Sea stretched gently and then stood up from the ground.

"I'm going to sleep now, nothing else," said the Deep Sea Will. "See you tomorrow."

After saying this, the Deep Sea Will didn't give Xiaobai a chance to react. She took small steps up to the second floor, and the sound of her footsteps quickly disappeared.

Seeing that the Deep Sea Will had gone to sleep, Xiaobai didn't linger in the villa. After saying goodbye to the Deep Sea Taihou members in the house, she also took a stroll around the swimming pool and park outside the villa. After experiencing the local customs and culture of the spiritual world that had evolved into a city, Xiaobai left the spiritual world with satisfaction.

In the real world, Xiaobai slowly opened her eyes and sat up in bed.

Just as the will of the deep sea said, even though Xiaobai had been in the spiritual world for so long and did not feel sleepy, the drowsiness that had been lingering over him had disappeared.

With a complex mix of emotions, Xiaobai pushed open the door.

"Oh dear!" As soon as Xiaobai opened the door, she heard the voice of the constellation.

When Xiaobai pushed the door open, it seemed like someone who was leaning against it had knocked it over. Xiaobai looked down and saw that Xingzuo was sitting on the floor of her room, her face flushed, looking embarrassed as she stared at Xiaobai.

"Constellation, what are you doing here?" Xiaobai asked Constellation.

"Uh... um... I'm a little curious about your sleeping habits, Admiral." After thinking for a while, Constellation finally spoke the truth.

"I don't snore," Xiaobai said to the constellation.

"Ah... haha, um." Constellation nodded. "I was just curious... I thought you slept like Admiral Nia..."

"What's wrong with Nia?"

"..." Constellation glanced at Xiaobai, lingered on Xiaobai's innocent eyes for a moment, and then turned her head away with some reluctance, "She...she snores."

"Hahahaha." Xiaobai covered her mouth and let out a series of laughs.

"...Sometimes not knowing is a kind of happiness." Constellation looked at Xiaobai's smiling face and muttered to herself with some emotion.

"Huh? What does 'astrology' mean?"

"No, it's nothing. Admiral, I'm going to do the laundry now." Constellation stood up from the ground, patted her bottom, and then looked at Shiro with sincere eyes, "Admiral, you really are the pure and beautiful girl."

"?" Xiaobai looked at the constellations curiously.

However, the constellation didn't reply to Xiaobai. She laughed it off and walked towards the water room.

There was no time for Xiaobai to think about the constellation conversation. As soon as they saw that Xiaobai had woken up, the destroyers that were restless in the middle of the yard rushed towards her. They dragged Xiaobai up and, amidst a chattering noise, led her to sit down at the dining table.

At this moment, in the Admiral's Guild, Guild Master Er Gou was holding the documents in front of him with tears in his eyes, stamping them repeatedly.

"Don't cry, this is all your own doing, Admiral." Helena stood next to President Er Gou and sighed. "If you had finished processing these documents earlier, you wouldn't have had to rush to meet the deadline on the last day."

"How was I supposed to know today was the last day?" President Er Gou cried and fussed as her hands flew across the documents in front of her, quickly processing each page and folding it to the other side. "I'm just a child! Why are you treating me like this?!"

"Admiral, you've been slacking off for six days now. Of course you have to deal with a week's worth of documents on the last day. And today, of all people, you had to go out and join in the fun. It's no wonder things turned out this way tonight," Helena said.

"I'm innocent!" President Er Gou cried out, "Those are beautiful girls, there are a whole bunch of beautiful girls! Is it wrong to pursue cute girls?"

"...Admiral, stop talking and get the documents done." Helena rubbed her forehead, looking helpless.

"Why are there so many documents? I really can't manage this! Why do all the admirals who graduated from the first chapter have to rush to the second chapter? The third chapter would be so much better!"

"Admiral, you've started to escape reality..."

"Look, it's obvious..." President Er Gou was crying and complaining, but suddenly stopped quietly as if he had become a different person.

"Admiral? What's wrong?" Helena asked.

"..." President Er Gou silently looked at the document in his hand, and finally handed it to Helena.

Helena retrieved the documents from the Second Dog Association and looked at them.

It was a commander who had just graduated from the first chapter. The document included a photo of the commander's upper body, basic information, and a record of his resume from the first chapter.

Helena looked at it, and finally covered her mouth in surprise.

She discovered that the date on the first entry of her resume differed from the date on the last entry by only seven days.

—Is this an admiral who graduated from the first chapter in just seven days??

Helena stared at the document in shock, finally fixing her gaze on the admiral's name.

Luo Lian.

Even Helena, a ship girl, knows very well what it means to clear the first chapter in seven days.

This is something that can be called "graduating at lightning speed," something that can't be easily accomplished by just a few ship girls.

“This admiral…” Helena looked at Chairman Er Gou with some surprise.

President Er Gou lay on the table, pointing to his chin with a serious expression.

"Hmm." President Er Gou nodded, then looked at Helena with a serious expression.

"Another one with small breasts."

With a "smack!", Helena, her face flushed red, slammed the notebook down hard on President Er Gou's head once again.

Chapter 658 Recycling

At night, the moon was bright and the stars were few. The milky moonlight flowed across the sea, giving it a soft glow. The seawater surrounding the man-made city was quiet and still, and a faint salty taste rose from the gentle sea breeze.

This is the time when most people in the artificial city have fallen asleep, and the entire city is enveloped in a long period of tranquility in the darkness.

After a long while, a beam of light slowly shone from the other side of the sea and gradually expanded. As the beam of light expanded, the sound of flowing water also rose up. The sound of the water being divided grew louder and louder. Then, the faint sound of an engine sounded like the beating of a drum.

Before long, a yacht broke through the darkness and, with a gurgling sound, arrived at the shore of the artificial city.

The yacht stopped at the shore for a while before two figures slowly emerged from inside. The figure in the lead, dressed in a snow-white military uniform, jumped off the yacht and landed on the shore.

"Admiral, slow down, wait for me!" After the white figure landed on the shore, a taller woman, holding up the hem of her red skirt, jumped onto the beach after her.

"Hmm." The white-clad figure heard the voice, turned around, and looked at the ship girl behind her. "How are you feeling?"

"Me? No problem."

"As long as you don't get seasick."

"I am a ship, how could I get seasick?" The red-clad ship girl expressed her helplessness at her admiral's occasionally eccentric thinking.

"Oh...I see." The white-clad figure rubbed her chin, pondering for a moment. "So ship girls don't get seasick?"

"Of course not!"

"...That's quite a strange thing."

"What's so amazing about it?"

"It's a bit like how your own weapon will never pierce your own skin," the white figure murmured thoughtfully. "But thinking about it, snakes do indeed have enzymes in their bodies that can break down their own venom..."

The white-clad figure glanced at his ship girl a few times as he finished speaking. His ship girl was staring at him with a blank expression, seemingly unable to understand what he was saying at all.

The white-clad figure sighed, "It's alright, let's go, Warspite."

"Oh." The ship girl named Warspite turned around, saluted the soldiers on the yacht behind her, and then jogged towards the admiral who had already walked away.

Under the moonlight, the soft, milky-white light shone on the admiral's face, revealing a young girl's features.

Luo Lian walked straight into the interior of the artificial city, and it took several seconds for Yan Zhan to catch up.

"Admiral, the timing of our arrival here is a bit unfortunate," Warspite said to Luo Lian.

"Isn't it a coincidence?" Luo Lian glanced at Warspite.

“Yeah, it’s so late at night, there’s nobody here. The Admiral’s Guild is probably closed by now,” Warspite said.

"Oh, I think so." Luo Lian nodded. "It's okay, it's better to arrive a little earlier, so we can relax and prepare our luggage and accommodation."

"Are we going to stay in a hotel again this time?"

"Do you not like it?"

"I'm fine with anything." Warspite turned his head and gave a slightly embarrassed smile.

"I'm not staying here this time," Luo Lian said.

"Huh? Really?" Upon hearing Luo Lian's words, Yan Zhan's eyes lit up instantly.

Warspite felt that she was actually quite capable of enduring hardship. After all, when she first left the construction facility, she had suffered for a period of time while following her admiral, and she had become somewhat accustomed to that kind of arduous living environment. However, of course, one should live as comfortably as possible, right? Who would want to live in a small hotel when they can live in a big compound?

"Well, actually, after thinking about it carefully, I realized that having only one ship girl isn't enough. I should also start building some more," Luo Lian said.

"Admiral, you're finally going to start construction."

"Yes, if I had three more helpers like Warspite, I wouldn't have wasted so much time in the first chapter," Luo Lian said sincerely.

Upon hearing Luo Lian's words, a rather peculiar expression quickly appeared on Warspite's face.
