Elder brother's garrison

Page 799

"The newbie naval base was practically unbeatable in that event. In my opinion, winning first place wasn't difficult at all; in fact, it would have been strange if they hadn't gotten first place."

"That's strange."

"After all, it is the garrison of the world's number one admiral; it is terrifying."

The governors exchanged glances and raised their eyebrows as they spoke one after another.

"—In contrast to that, I've heard that the newbie naval base almost lost its first place title in that event?"

"Is this possible?"

"I've heard a little about it. I heard that in that event, the newbie naval base only managed to catch up in points on the last day?"

"But I remember that the rookie naval base's final score seemed to far exceed that of the second place."

"I heard that in the final step of the event, the newbie naval base brought in the complete ship equipment of the rare Abyssal Dean, which earned them an extremely high score and allowed them to overtake others. To obtain this ship equipment, the newbie naval base had to stop working for several days."

"This is a risky move, but it shows commendable courage and boldness."

"Could it be that the rookie naval base has no other choice but to take a desperate gamble?"

"Ugh."

"After the newbie garrison gained fame, I have never seen him fall to second place on the merit ranking list before."

"That's really rare."

"Rare indeed, very rare."

"Perhaps the admiral who pushed the dignified rookie naval base to such a state will achieve great things in the future."

"Steady and cautious."

"What a promising talent! What a promising talent..."

The governors chatted in drawn-out tones in front of Mu Yu, and then several glances subtly swept past Xiao Bai, before landing on Mu Yu with a meaningful look.

For a moment, it seemed that there was some other meaning behind the words.

"I wonder if Governor Mu Yu is also aware of this matter?"

The governors, in their conversation, turned their attention to Mu Yu.

Upon hearing this, Ringo's expression immediately darkened as she stood quietly listening to the news.

After Lu Yun's death, Mu Yu's recommendation of Xiao Bai, who was still a high school student, to become the successor admiral of the rookie naval base was not without its challenges.

When Mu Yu first proposed the position of Xiao Bai, even though she was the sister of the former admiral, the stubborn old men in front of them, who were over seventy years old, had protested quite a bit about handing over a garrison to a girl who had just entered high school. They even rolled up their sleeves and smashed their teacups.

Although Mu Yu later managed to persuade the scholars to accept the offer, and through a combination of tactical maneuvering and underhanded tactics, he managed to bring Xiao Bai to the newbie garrison. Over the past year, the newbie garrison has gradually recovered and even become a greater threat to the other admirals. However, it seems that the prejudice of these old men against Xiao Bai and Mu Yu has not diminished at all.

A hint of annoyance appeared on Ringo's beautiful face.

Just as she was about to step forward to say something, Mu Yu gently stepped aside to block Lin Qing, facing the group of governors and putting his hands on his hips.

"Ah, regarding this, you governors are unaware of something," Mu Yu said with a smile, proudly addressing the governors before him. "That event, the one that surpassed the rookie naval base on the merit list, actually had a hidden story."

"There could be a hidden story?" The governors, who had originally intended to make sarcastic remarks about Mu Yu, widened their eyes upon seeing his smug face. "What hidden story? Is the rookie garrison deliberately making things harder for themselves?"

Looking at the old men glaring at him, Mu Yu slowly raised the corners of his mouth, making a lifelike, comical face.

"The second-place garrison is Little White Sister's alternate account."

"Huh?!" The governors were taken aback, and their brows furrowed. "That's not right. How can a commander have two garrison commanderies? Don't try to fool me."

"The one actually operating that garrison is definitely not Little White Sister," Mu Yu sighed and said.

The expressions of the governors softened somewhat.

"But that garrison commander is Little White's number one simp." Mu Yu shook her head and sighed. "Actually, all her merits were originally supposed to be attributed to Little White, but Little White unexpectedly brought over a huge item, completely overshadowing her. The kid felt too ashamed of her meager merits, so she didn't transfer them. You can go and see for yourselves; he's currently working for Little White in the second chapter, helping her manage the garrison commander's guild that she recently bought."

At this point, Mu Yu even shrugged in a flamboyant manner.

"Oh right, that steady and cautious promising student you mentioned earlier was also a high school girl you talked about during your previous protests."

"This!" The faces of the elderly governors turned red instantly. They stared at Mu Yu, who was standing still, constantly changing into various cool poses and looking at them with all sorts of flirtatious eyes. They were speechless for a long time.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch~" Mu Yu shrugged, adding insult to injury, and pointed at the admirals in front of her, rubbing their fingers together. "Why aren't you saying anything~"

"You! How did this new admiral get appointed?! Did you engage in favoritism and corruption again?!"

"This time, we're following all the proper procedures! That young lady is a top student who graduated from the Naval Academy!"

"This..." The governors looked at each other, each noticing a hint of embarrassment on the other's face.

Mu Yu raised her voice in a shrill tone, switching into mocking mode, and her voice gradually became effeminate.

"They clearly thought she was too young and inexperienced, so she was unreliable, but the grandpas said she was a promising talent~"

"Does this mean the grandfathers also discriminated against Little White Sister in the past? It's so annoying to have to admit our mistakes now~"

"I'm so sorry, I'm just a little white girl's simp~ Hmm~"

"Hey~"

"I'm so sorry to have let the grandfathers down~"

Mu Yu offered no leeway to the elders before him, even though the group of governors were already blushing with embarrassment and anger from Mu Yu's sarcastic remarks, staring at him in awkward silence. Mu Yu showed no intention of stopping his mockery.

"Pseudo-compliance!"

"Nonsense! Nonsense!"

"Crooked ways!"

"Let's go, let's go!"

Under Mu Yu's increasingly sarcastic remarks, the governors finally couldn't hold back any longer. Led by the head governor, the group of governors vigorously flicked their sleeves, uttered a rigid "qi hua," and turned their backs, hurrying back to the Governors' Guild.

Led by the previous governor, the other governors also put their hands behind their backs and hurriedly followed in his footsteps, leaving somewhat dejectedly and angrily.

"Grandpas, take care on your journey. It's windy on the road, so don't strain your backs!" Mu Yu added sarcastically to the old men.

After the governors left, Mu Yu, now back to normal, watched the old men's retreating figures and sighed with a sense of helplessness.

"Oh well, at least we've finally seen them off."

"Ugh……"

"These old bastards, they always like to mess with me. What did I do to offend them?"

"..." Ringo.

"……"noob.

Looking at Mu Yu's face that seemed to say, "I was indeed the final victor," Xiao Bai felt a mix of emotions.

You even asked...why did they target you...?

this is not……

It's so obvious...

Chapter 1061 Invitation to the Abyss Party

“That… Mu Yu.”

After the governors had all disappeared at the end of the street, Xiaobai raised her head and called out to Muyu.

"Hmm? What's wrong with Little White Sister?"

"Um... do those governors... do they not want me to become an admiral?" Xiaobai asked Muyu with some concern.

After all, even someone like Xiaobai, who hadn't thought about it carefully at first, felt a slight sense of sarcasm in the conversation between the governors and Mu Yu.

Only after Mu Yu had ridiculed the group of old men and driven them away did Xiao Bai begin to understand the meaning behind their previous conversation.

Xiao Bai had mixed feelings.

That's true. Xiaobai himself is just a former high school student who didn't even finish high school. Even when Xiaobai himself took office as admiral, he had a feeling that this country was doomed. Let alone those super rigid old men.

If Mu Yu recommended me to be the admiral of the rookie naval base, then he probably helped me a lot to relieve the pressure from my colleagues.

Xiao Bai suddenly felt that she should be nicer to Mu Yu in the future... a little nicer.

"Huh? How could that be?" Surprisingly, Mu Yu shook her head quite matter-of-factly in response to Xiao Bai's question. "They don't want you to be the admiral? They? Impossible."

"Huh?" Xiaobai exclaimed in surprise, "But those old men just now..."

"Ah...yes, speaking of which," Mu Yu nodded in deep agreement, "Indeed, in the early stages of making the suggestion, those old fogies were extremely opposed to my recommending you. The first few meetings basically ended in discord. Every time I mentioned you, those old men would slam their fists on the table, saying that how could a young girl who hadn't yet entered society survive safely in the environment of the Admiral? They said that someone who hadn't been tempered would suddenly be unable to handle heavy responsibilities in various aspects, so they wanted me to protect the mental and physical health of teenagers and abandon this plan, and so on."

"Huh?" Xiaobai was taken aback.

This development seems... although it's similar, the content is a bit different from what Xiaobai imagined.

"Well... uh, what happened next?" Xiaobai turned her head and asked curiously.

"Later, I realized that I couldn't persuade these stubborn old folks with words, so I went to your house without telling them and sent you to the naval base."

Mu Yu smiled brightly and gave Xiao Bai a thumbs up.

"……"noob.

"And then, as you know, little white girl, those who dare to steal an admiral from a ship girl usually don't have a good ending. After you were assigned to the newbie naval base, those old men didn't dare to arrest you and take you back in front of all the ship girls in your naval base, so they just made do with you being the admiral."

"After that, the naval base, which originally wouldn't accept anyone, slowly revived after you, Little White Sister, went there. After a few months, it even started accepting commissions and operating normally, returning to the admirals' sights, winning first place in the event, and recently even managed to incorporate the world's second-best naval base, nurturing the current head of the Mu family, and adding two top-tier battleship ship girls to the naval base..."

Mu Yu was also amazed when she said this.

"Perhaps one of these achievements alone cannot prove your ability, but with so many accomplishments combined, even the blindest person wouldn't dare to say, 'I could do it too.'"

Xiao Bai listened blankly as Mu Yu finished speaking, somewhat hesitant.

"Uh...so you're saying...those governors were actually quite satisfied with me being the admiral?"

"correct."

"What they were saying just now..."

"They're basically just looking for an excuse to mess with me, it's just part of the routine, you get used to it," Mu Yu said.

"So...they..."

“Strictly speaking, although they’ve been quite annoying, they’re all decent people.” Mu Yu said to Xiao Bai, shrugging, glancing at Lin Qing beside her out of the corner of her eye. “It’s just that I always feel like they’re plotting how to beat me up every day.”

“…Oh ho.”

That’s true.

That makes a lot of sense.

Don't even mention those old governors.

Even Xiaobai, an observer, witnessed Mu Yu's boastful remarks just now.

Everyone wanted to beat him up.

Thinking of this, Xiaobai slapped her face.

The preface is retracted.

I knew I couldn't be merciful to Mu Yu.

"Speaking of which... since those old governors weren't coming for me, what are they here to do with you, Mu Yu?" Xiao Bai asked Mu Yu.

After finishing his witty banter, Mu Yu, feeling refreshed, paused upon hearing Xiao Bai's words.

"Oh, right, I almost forgot the important thing while I was chatting away." Mu Yu said, taking a neatly folded piece of white paper from her pocket. "Little White Sister, what I'm about to say is confidential."

"Um... is it okay to say it on the street?"

"Is there any problem? Anyway, although it's classified, it's not that critical." Mu Yu handed the folded white paper to Xiao Bai. "Little Bai, do you know that normally, even if the Deep Sea Dean's mutation occurs in Chapter Six, the governors generally won't appear together."

"Is that right?"

"Yes, the governor's job is extremely busy, and it has exhausted Z31 and Z17."

"..."

"The reason the governors acted together this time is because we received a message yesterday." Mu Yu skillfully ignored Xiao Bai's expression of staring at scum, and turned to Xiao Bai to say, "The governor's certificate of a very senior governor was activated yesterday afternoon in Chapter Six."

"Very senior?" Xiao Bai tilted his head and thought, and the image of an old man with a white beard gradually appeared in his mind.

"She's a senior figure, with a very special status. As far as we're concerned, those of us still alive in this line of work are all considered her juniors. That's why when we received her message, we all put down our work and rushed over to participate in this event."

Wow, that's a long-serving person!

"Well, you see, her existence is equivalent to the concept of the admiral's profession..." Mu Yu hummed to Xiao Bai, "Anyway, I'm here to talk to you about this, Xiao Bai. Because this senior has a bad temper, we don't dare to make a big fuss. If you see her, Xiao Bai, remember to tell us."
