"Huh?" Pompeii didn't understand what the deep-sea phoenixes meant.
The deep-sea giants pointed to the equipment in Pompeii's arms and continued to make the gesture of reaching out to ask for it.
"Uh...you...you want this?" Pompeii pointed to the steel rod in his arms.
The deep-sea giant phoenixes nodded.
"..." Pompeii handed the steel rod to Deep Sea Daihou with a puzzled look on his face.
The lead deep-sea giant phoenix reached out and took the steel rod from Pompeii's arms, then ran into the garden carrying the rod. The other deep-sea giant phoenixes behind her hurriedly picked up the tents and equipment scattered on the ground, then trotted after the lead phoenix into the garden.
Under the watchful eyes of Pompeii and Zara, the deep-sea giant phoenixes squatted in the garden with perfect coordination. Some of them were arranging and assembling the tent equipment, then threading in hollow steel rods. Some were groping around on the lawn, looking for a relatively flat piece of land. Others were carrying small hammers, nails, and other small tools.
The brief period of clanging and banging ended under the watchful eyes of Pompeii and Zara.
A large camping tent was set up neatly on the lawn.
The tent stood steadily on the lawn, and benches for two or three people were neatly arranged at the tent entrance.
The deep-sea giants returned to Pompeii and Zara's side and pointed to the tent in the garden.
He was as professional as a construction worker reporting to a foreman.
Pompeii stared in astonishment at the tents that the deep-sea giants had neatly set up, their mouths agape.
"You...you guys actually know how to set up tents?!" Pompeii exclaimed in astonishment.
"..." The deep-sea phoenixes nodded.
The deep-sea giant phoenix is, of course, extremely skilled at something as simple as crickets setting up tents.
After all, in Xiaobai's mental world, the entire set of houses in the game's beginner village was built by them, brick by brick.
Thankfully, Xiaobai only left behind tent parts. If she had left behind a pile of bricks and cement, there might have been a small hut in the garden when she came back.
“…Uh…thank you.” Pompeii’s voice was hoarse as he looked at the innocent eyes of the deep-sea giants, his face full of shame. “But…why did you help us…”
"..." The deep-sea phoenixes all tilted their heads.
Then, they stepped forward and, mimicking what Xiaobai had done before, stood on tiptoe and patted Pompeii and Zara on the shoulders, giving them a thumbs up.
Although the deep-sea giant phoenixes all had expressionless faces.
But for some reason, Pompeii and Zara could see a sense of "the Admiral said we are comrades and should help each other" on the expressionless faces of the Deep Sea Taihou.
Pompeii was shocked.
Pompeii stared blankly at the giant phoenixes of the deep sea.
She looked at the innocent expressions and ruby-like eyes of the deep-sea giant phoenixes.
Watch and watch.
Pompeii's lips pouted. His eyes reddened.
Large, touching tears streamed down my face.
Pompeii wept uncontrollably.
Pompeii stretched out his hand, whimpering.
With a thud.
She hugged the deep-sea giant that was standing in front of her tightly.
Pompeii bent over and kept rubbing her face against the small chest of the deep-sea phoenix.
"Waaaaah... Yes, I'm sorry, I... I misunderstood you! I'm so sorry—waaaaah... You guys are such great friends, waaaaah..."
"Wow!!! You guys are truly the best deep-sea amphibious ships in the world!!!"
Embracing the soft bodies of the deep-sea giant phoenixes.
Pompeii let out a heartfelt cry.
Chapter 1389 Settling Little Red
After leaving the garden, Xiaobai ran all the way into the admiral's office in the office building.
When Xiaobai returned to the admiral's office, only Lexington and Renown were there, each quietly doing their own thing.
Renown silently made tea for Lexington, who was bent over processing documents.
However, President Er Gou was not in the office.
Xiaobai was curious.
"Huh? Where is the president?" Xiaobai, who had just entered the office, hadn't even had a chance to greet Lexington before being preoccupied with her own question, "Wasn't she just in the office?"
Lexington and Reputation looked up at Little White.
"Greetings, Master." Reputation put down his teacup and bowed gently to Little White.
"It's Xiaobai~ Welcome back. Have you settled all the new sisters in yet?" Lexington put down her pen and smiled at Xiaobai.
"Well, Ooi Kitakami and Xiao Hong have been settled, but Zara and Pompeii... uh..." As Xiaobai spoke, she still couldn't let go of the matter of President Er Gou. She looked at Lexington cautiously, "Um, Lexington... President Sister, she wouldn't... have already left, would she?"
Seeing the somewhat disappointed and questioning look on Xiaobai's face, Lexington smiled and shook his head.
"No, Miss Naoka is actually planning to stay at the naval base for a few days."
"Oh? Really! That's great!" Xiaobai's eyes lit up, and she clasped her hands together. "How many days will you be staying, President Sister?"
"Well... she said she has things to do in the second chapter, so she probably won't stay for long." Lexington picked up the pen on the table with her index and middle fingers and twirled it a few times. "But the newbie naval base will always welcome her. Even if she doesn't stay long this time, she should feel no pressure to come and visit next time she feels bored."
"Oh, I see..." Xiaobai nodded happily. "Where is the president now?"
Lexington paused in her pen-twirling motion and gave Xiaobai a knowing smile.
"Miss Naige probably drank too much black tea just now, so after the deal was settled, she went to the restroom to take care of the three major problems of life."
"Uh...did you go to the bathroom?"
“Exactly,” Lexington said with a smile. “Little White, are you going to look for her? She should be in the bathroom on this floor.”
"Uh... well... let's just forget about it." Xiaobai blushed and shook her head awkwardly.
Although Xiaobai likes President Ergou, it would be really too embarrassing for him to linger while Ergou is using the restroom.
Anyway, Lexington said that Chairman Er Gou decided to stay at the newbie naval base for a few more days. There are 24 hours in a day, so Xiao Bai isn't in a hurry for a minute or two.
“Lexington, Zara and Pompeii are planning to go camping in the garden before the new building is finished.” Little White walked to the secretary ship’s desk and said to Lexington, “I just took them to the warehouse to get their camping tents.”
"As expected of a wandering ship girl, her hobbies are quite unique." Lexington heard what Xiaobai said, thought for a moment, a hint of helplessness and understanding flashed in her eyes, and then said to Xiaobai, "It seems we also need to speed up the construction of some new buildings."
“That’s right… there aren’t even enough buildings for Xiaohong and the others to live in right now.” Xiaobai sighed. “Sorry to trouble you again, Lexington.”
“That’s not a problem at all. No ship girl would be unhappy to see her naval base becoming more prosperous, right?” Lexington paused slightly, “But, Whitey, what are your plans for settling down those Red and the others you brought with you?”
"Huh? Settled in...wasn't it already settled in?"
“No, I don’t mean accommodation or food, but work.” Lexington nodded. “Even if our naval base is a very relaxed one, having no work and having work are two different things. If there’s nothing for them to do, Little Red and the others can only stay at home like decorative vases. Little White, are you willing to accept that?”
"Staying at home... just being a decorative vase..." Xiaobai stared blankly at Lexington.
Do not know why.
In Xiaobai's mind, a series of images flashed through his mind: a deep-sea phoenix huddled in a corner of a room, hugging its legs, neglected and slowly covered in cobwebs, looking lonely.
Then, a series of images flashed through Xiaobai's mind: a deep-sea phoenix squatting in the living room of the room, like Tirpitz, with potato chips in her left hand and cola in her right, staring at the TV and game console.
No!
This kind of development won't do!
Xiao Bai quickly shook his head.
"We absolutely cannot let Xiaohong and the others grow up to be like Tirpitz!" Xiaobai's little face turned deathly pale with fright. "That kind of development is too terrifying!"
"...Although I'm not sure if you just had some rather extreme imagination...but it's all good." Lexington said, tilting her head and smiling. "So, Xiaobai, how do you plan to settle these Deep-Sea Deans in terms of daily life?"
Xiao Hong and her companions are the Dean of the Deep Sea. As advanced deep-sea creatures, they possess formidable combat abilities. However, once they unleash their ship equipment, they are forced to release their deep-sea aura, making it impossible for them to continue concealing their identities. Therefore, even though the Deep Sea Taihou possess powerful combat strength, the rookie naval base cannot treat them as ordinary combatants.
"Do Xiaohong and the others have any special skills besides combat?" Lexington inquired.
"Them..." Xiaobai thought for a moment, "Hmm...aside from fighting...they should be able to handle the work of maids, right?"
"They're also good at being maids?"
"I think I'm pretty good at it." Xiaobai nodded.
Since the deep-sea Taihou are all clones split off from the main body, they actually share a single spiritual entity.
If even one Taihou from the Deep Sea can act as a maid, then all the Taihou from the Deep Sea will be able to do it too.
“Reputation, what do you think?” Lexington looked at Reputation.
"No objection." Reputation nodded.
"Hmm... there are probably sixty or seventy Little Reds in this batch." Lexington leaned over and looked at the table, muttering, "If we add the number of Little Reds you mentioned for the next batch, then for ordinary maids, the number is actually a bit saturated... Hmm, it's decided."
Lexington thought for a moment, then gently clasped his hands together.
"Lexington, what's on your mind?" Xiaobai asked.
“There are different kinds of maids. How about we spread these little red maids out throughout the garrison and have them serve as everyone’s personal maids?” Lexington asked with a smile.
"A personal maid is..."
“It’s the kind of maid who lives with people, wakes them up in the morning, cooks for them, helps them change clothes, and tells them fairy tales before bed,” Lexington said.
"Huh? Is this okay too?"
"Sure, um... Actually, quite a few of the ladies at the naval base have already mentioned that the service quality of Ya and her maids is excellent, and they really want to extend the service to 24/7."
"Eh... so many ship girls want a maid...?"
“Actually, I want one too,” Lexington said with a smile.
"...Is reputation not enough?"
"Reputation is the best head maid among all the ship girls in the naval base, I can't possibly monopolize her."
“…Uh.” Xiaobai scratched his head and thought for a while, “Hmm… developing Xiaohong and the others into personal maids…it seems…not impossible.”
“Actually, with the current numbers, even if each household has one personal maid, the number of Little Reds is far from enough.” Lexington said, then thought for a moment, “But actually, compared to the work of maids, this is a pretty good way to help them integrate into this naval base more quickly—what do you think, Little White?”
"It should be fine," Xiaobai nodded.
The number of Deep Sea Phoenixes is still relatively small, so it's not possible to have one maid per household in the entire naval base. However, fortunately, there are still quite a few Deep Sea Phoenixes that have successfully transformed and the remains of Deep Sea Deans that have not yet transformed in the Mysterious Sea. Mass production of Deep Sea Phoenixes is not a problem.
After the two batches of Deep-Sea Giant Phoenixes settled in the naval base, Xiaobai thought about finding another opportunity to mass-produce some Deep-Sea Giant Phoenixes in the Mysterious Sea.
In this case.
New ship girls in the naval base will each have their own personal maid from now on.
Even when Xiaobai is retrieving ships later, he can add an advertising line like, "Join our naval base now and you'll get a personal maid."
That sounds so cool.
"Then let's put this on the agenda!" After listening to Lexington's words, Xiaobai gradually became interested. She nodded heavily and said to Lexington.
"Okay, in the next few days, besides the construction team, I will also contact someone to mass-produce some maid outfits for Xiaohong and the others. A batch should be ready in about two or three days."
As Lexington finished speaking, he looked at Reputation as if he had thought of something.
"prestige."
"Reputation remains."
"I'll leave the measurement of Xiaohong and the others' clothing sizes to you."
"Yes." Reputation nodded, then walked to Little White's side and bowed slightly. "Master, may I ask if you can guide Reputation down the road?"
"No problem, leave it to me." Xiaobai nodded.
"Please say hello to Zara and Pompeii for me," Lexington said to Xiaobai with a smile. "After the clothing measurements are taken, Renown will come back and tell me. Xiaobai, you can continue to spend time with the ship girls."
"Huh? This isn't a good idea, I'd better go back..."
“It’s alright, Xiaobai. After all, Miss Naige will be back from the bathroom soon. This is such a rare opportunity, and I have so many, many interesting topics to discuss with her in person,” Lexington said with a smile.
Lexington answered.
Her smile was absolutely radiant.
A beauty of unparalleled grace.
