Elder brother's garrison

Page 1896

The two admirals, one tall and one short, marveled at what they had just said.

"...Wait a minute, could the girls we're talking about be the same pair?" Suddenly, the tall admiral asked as if he had a premonition.

"That can't be right, there's no way it could be such a coincidence."

"But aren't there very few human girls who are as beautiful as ship girls?"

"Yes, so those two you mentioned are definitely not as pretty as these two I'm talking about!"

"You kid..."

The two admirals started laughing as they talked and playfully punched each other.

The shorter admiral was clearly not as strong as the taller admiral. He was pushed back a few steps by his friend and accidentally bumped into the person behind him.

"Oh, I'm sorry—"

The short admiral quickly apologized.

The short admiral bumped into a male admiral who had his head down and his hat brim pulled low, covering half of his face.

"fine."

The male admiral who was bumped didn't look up. He simply put the folder under his arm, said a few words, and then quickly left.

The tall admiral and the short admiral watched the departing figure.

"Why does this person look like they're in a hurry?"

"I don't know... but doesn't he look a little familiar?"

"Does it look familiar?"

"Hiss—his hat was pulled down too low just now, so I couldn't see his face, but I have a strange sense of familiarity about him...where have I seen him before...?"

The two admirals, one tall and one short, stroked their chins and frowned.

Under the questioning gazes of the two admirals, the male admiral, with his head down, walked further and further away.

The male admiral's hat brim was slightly raised, revealing an awkward and nervous face.

—This male admiral who gave the tall and short admirals a sense of familiarity was none other than Admiral Fang Jie, whom they had just been discussing.

"Damn it... this place isn't safe either."

Suppressing his nervousness, Admiral Fang quickened his pace, rapidly moving away from the tall and short admirals behind him.

Admiral Fang Jie looked around and quickly disappeared into several alleys, arriving at a narrow, dark corner.

Once everyone was around, Admiral Fang Jie finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Admiral Fang Jie took out his phone and glanced at the information on the screen.

Missed calls: 1617.

Missed text messages: 40310.

"Damn... it's only been half a day."

Admiral Fang Jie wore a look of utter despair. He ignored the thousands of messages and logged into his social media account.

As soon as I logged into the social media app, countless friend requests flooded in.

Admiral Fang Jie's brow twitched. He turned off the function to accept friend requests, then took a deep breath and opened his group chat.

In a group chat called "Research Math Problems Interest Group", there are already 99+ messages.

"Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? Einstein?"

"Old Fang, you're famous! The whole world is looking for you! Einstein Fang!"

"Wow, Fang, you're awesome! You actually solved the research problem! Didn't you say yesterday that you were struggling with the last few challenging questions? How come you turned around and gave the answer to that girl as a gift?! Einstein's solution! Einstein's solution! Einstein's solution!"

"What's Lao Fang's condition now? Is he still alive?"

Where is Lao Fang now?

"How exactly did you solve the last research problem...?"

"Einstein Square"

"Einstein Square"

"..."

A small group chat with only seven or eight people managed to generate thousands of messages.

Fang Jie looked at the group chat and smiled bitterly. He raised his finger and typed a simple message in the chat: "I'm still alive. Don't contact me for a while. I really didn't solve the problem." Then he closed the chat.

After closing the group chat, Admiral Fang Jie breathed a sigh of relief and then dialed a phone number.

The call was answered after two beeps.

A crisp sound rang out from the other end of the phone.

"Hello? Is this the Admiral?? Oh my! You finally contacted us!" A ship girl's excited voice came from the other end of the phone. "You scared us to death! What happened to you today, Admiral? While you were gone for half a day, so many people came to the hotel room. They all brought so many gifts and said they wanted to see you. They almost filled the whole hotel. Even when we tried to send them away, they wouldn't leave. They all said they wanted to wait for you to come back and that they absolutely had to invite you to their homes. Some of them even got into a fight in front of their houses because they were queuing up to see you! It was terrifying!"

"...It's me, I...I can't go back for now." Admiral Fang Jie said dejectedly into the phone, "I've been hiding out here alone for the past few days. Just letting you know, remember to take care of yourselves..."

"Huh?? Admiral? What happened?"

"It's hard to say... I'll talk to you guys after this is over." Admiral Fang Jie took a deep breath. "That's all for now, I'll hang up!"

"Huh?? Wait, Admiral, wait a minute..."

The anxious voice from the ship girl's side was interrupted halfway through the call by Admiral Fang Jie.

The call ended, leaving only the dial tone.

Looking at his phone, Admiral Fang Jie felt like crying.

Now I can't go home.

Damn it...

I've already said it wasn't me who solved the problem, so why won't these admirals believe me...?

Chapter 2641 The Instigator (Deleted)

Admiral Fang Jie felt like he was the one who had been wronged.

He had clearly handed his manuscript to those two girls whose names he still didn't know, but the next morning, those two girls suddenly used his manuscript to solve the first puzzle of the research and construction machine, drawing the attention of all the admirals in Chapter 8 to him.

Damn it...

I wasn't the one who solved the puzzle!

Why don't you go find those two girls?

Can you not know whether your own manuscript can solve the mystery?

I still haven't solved those last two questions!

Although Admiral Fang Jie is highly accomplished in mathematics, as an admiral (in the context of Chapter 8), his strength is not particularly great, his influence is not significant, and even the combat strength of his ship girls is only passable. In other words, he is just an ordinary admiral.

If it weren't for the fact that the research ship girls forced all the admirals to do math problems, who would even recognize me, this little shrimp?

Now things are really messed up, because of this incident, all the admirals on the beach are keeping an eye on him.

The entire eighth chapter is filled with the saying, "Obtaining the solution is equivalent to obtaining a research ship girl..."

Neuropathy!

You're a complete lunatic!

Am I some kind of Tang Monk's flesh?

If I really knew the answer, it would be good to be surrounded by so many people.

But I didn't know it!

The rumors are getting more and more outrageous. Now, these people who are looking for me are practically ready to tear me apart. My explanations are utterly useless in their eyes. They simply don't believe I haven't solved the research problem. And with my limited abilities, if I really fall into their hands, who knows what methods they'll use to force me to reveal the answer...

Thinking of this, Admiral Fang Jie couldn't help but shudder.

"No, no, we absolutely cannot let anyone find us..." Admiral Fang Jie swallowed hard, trembling with nervousness. "I can't go home for a while..."

Fortunately, the city in Chapter 8 is enormous.

Beneath the skyscrapers, countless alleyways are like shadows cast by sunlight.

As long as I'm careful, hiding myself in such a vast environment won't be difficult. Once all the research shipgirl problems are solved and someone gets their hands on a research shipgirl, I, the one who "possesses the answers," will lose my value. Presumably, no one in this city will want to find me like they do now...

Admiral Fang Jie breathed a sigh of relief upon realizing this.

After I relaxed a little, a feeling of hunger welled up inside me.

Admiral Fang Jie then realized that he had been running around non-stop and hadn't eaten all day.

"Let's see if there's a convenience store nearby..." Admiral Fang Jie clutched his stomach, taking small steps away from the alley, muttering to himself as he spoke, "This place is already quite secluded; no one should be able to find their way here..."

Admiral Fang Jie had a very good plan.

However, it is counterproductive.

Just as Admiral Fang Jie walked out of the alley clutching his stomach, a handsome admiral with short blond hair appeared in front of him.

Upon seeing Admiral Fang Jie, the blond-haired admiral's eyes widened in surprise, and he shouted with delight.

"Hey! Isn't this Admiral Fang?" the blond-haired admiral exclaimed, his face beaming with enthusiasm. "What a coincidence! What a chance to run into you here! Do you remember me? I'm Jin Shiqi! That's right, the admiral of the world's seventeenth naval base. Where have you just come from?"

Jin Shiqi treated Admiral Fang Jie with exceptional enthusiasm.

However, before Jin Shiqi could finish speaking, a huge fist came flying towards his face.

"You bastard, keep your voice down!!!" Admiral Fang Jie's fist was as swift as the wind and as powerful as lightning, landing a solid punch on Jin Shiqi's face, who was all smiles.

Jin Shiqi was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing to the ground with a thud and remaining motionless.

It feels like a familiar ending.

"Ha...ha...ha..." Admiral Fang Jie was covered in sweat, his pupils unfocused as he stared at Jin Shiqi not far away. "Damn it, damn it...I accidentally attacked him..."

Admiral Fang Jie swallowed hard. He looked around nervously and noticed that a pair of admirals nearby had noticed the noise and were approaching.

Admiral Fang Jie rushed forward, picked up Jin Shiqi from the ground, and scurried into the alley.

Just after Admiral Fang Jie and Jin Shiqi disappeared into the alley, the admiral, who had heard the commotion, also arrived at the place.

"Huh? I think I just heard someone call out 'Admiral Fang'..."

"is it here?"

The two admirals appeared here in confusion. They stared at the empty ground and the seven or eight dark alley entrances around them, scratching their heads in distress.

"Never mind, I think I misheard."

"Let's go, let's go... This place has so many alleys... It's like walking through a maze."

The admirals have disappeared.

Admiral Fang Jie, who was hiding in the alley, breathed a sigh of relief. He lowered his head and put Admiral Jin on the ground.

"Ouch... Ouch... Are we... home yet?" Jin Shiqi woke up groggily, seemingly having lost all memory of being beaten up by Admiral Fang Jie. He opened his eyes to see Fang Jie staring at him with a serious expression, then flashed a warm smile, "Hey! Isn't this Brother Fang! What brings you here..."

"Keep your voice down!!" Admiral Fang Jie glared at Jin Shiqi with a serious expression, then his expression instantly turned angry. "Why are you following me!"

"Huh? Stalking??" Jin Shiqi looked confused.

"If you hadn't been following me, how would you have found this place!" Admiral Fang Jie gritted his teeth. "You really are just like everyone else, wanting to get your hands on a research vessel..."

"Uh... what do you mean by stalking... this is my home!" Jin Shiqi said with a confused look before Admiral Fang Jie could finish speaking.

"..." Admiral Fang Jie's expression, filled with gritted teeth, froze for a moment. "...Your house?"

“Yeah.” Jin Shiqi gestured behind him with his chin. “This one.”

"..." Admiral Fang Jie looked in the direction Jin Shiqi had pointed out.

At the end of the line of sight was a rather impressive courtyard.

Above the entrance to the courtyard hangs a large gilded plaque with the words "The Seventeenth Naval Base in the World" written in gleaming gold.

"..." Fang Jie, the admiral.

Admiral Fang Jie silently looked at Jin Shiqi.

Jin Shiqi rubbed his handsome cheek, grimacing, "Ouch... What happened? Why does my face suddenly hurt so much... like I was punched hard."
