"Isn't it good to live off my money?" Xiaobai tilted her head and asked.

"Ah... well, it's not all bad..." Abyssal Yamato looked at Shiro with embarrassment, clutching Shiro's admiral's badge. "Okay, I was a hero of the deep sea more than ten years ago... If those girls from back then saw me now married to a human and spending human money, I'd be so embarrassed..."

“Yamato-neechan, you just said that I’m different,” Shiro said with a smile.

"..." Yamato Fukami blushed, she cautiously looked up at Shiro, and finally nodded silently, letting out a sob, "...Ugh."

Xiaobai stuffed the admiral's certificate back into Shenhai Yamato's arms, but took her bill instead.

Deep Sea Yamato held Shiro's admiral's certificate as if it were some precious treasure.

“Little White…” Yamato said, bowing his head.

"Ok?"

“Um… I know you’ve been busy lately…” Yamato Shinkai mustered her courage and whispered, “I shouldn’t bother you with your work… but… if you have time tomorrow, or the day after, or… anytime… could you… go shopping with me… without Musashi and Shinano… just the two of us. If… if you’re free! It’s okay! We can live a long time anyway, a few more years won’t hurt, I’m not in a hurry!”

After finishing speaking, Yamato blinked and looked down at his legs.

"Yamato-neechan... are you coming out with me?" Shiro pointed to herself.

“Yes…yes…” Yamato Fukami looked up, cautiously glancing at Shiro, “I found so many fun places in this city…it would be great if you came too…”

Looking at Yamato's pitiful appearance, Shiro suddenly opened his mouth, realizing something.

what……

I see……

This morning, my older sister kept mentioning our trip to the city, and after we finished, she came to tell me her thoughts...

So, she wanted to go out and have fun with me...

In a moment of realization, Xiaobai suddenly understood that her reaction was indeed quite slow...

"Yamato-neechan, don't worry about work!" Shiro clutched her chest and nodded quickly. "I... um... I'll be free tomorrow noon! All the way until evening! I can spend time with you, Yamato-neechan!"

"Ah! That's great!" Upon hearing this, Yamato Akagi was immediately relieved. "I hope I didn't interfere with your work..."

"How could that be? It definitely won't cause any delays."

"Then I'm relieved!" Yamato said, finally regaining her composure. She propped herself up on the bed, jumped off, and gave Shiro a happy and satisfied smile. "Shiro! I'll be waiting for you tomorrow! It's getting late, I'll go back to Musashi and Shinano now!"

Shiro smiled as he looked at Yamato in the deep sea.

Deep Sea Yamato left Shiro's dormitory, humming a song as he disappeared down the corridor.

Xiaobai looked at the closed dormitory door and then shifted his gaze to the spot in front of him where Shenhai Yamato had just sat.

There was a slight indentation on the soft bed.

"Ah... so, Yamato-neechan isn't planning on staying at my place tonight..."

Xiao Bai's disappointed voice faded into the air.

Chapter 3155 The Early Bird Catches the Worm

Xiao Bai spent a lonely and desolate night alone in her dormitory.

The next morning arrived amidst birdsong and fragrant flowers.

The first thing Xiaobai did after waking up was to quickly sit up and pick up her phone from the bedside table to check the time.

After charging overnight, Xiaobai's phone battery was at 100%, and the time displayed on the screen was 4:30 in the morning.

I woke up much earlier than usual.

The reason is that Xiaobai had insomnia again last night.

Xiao Bai rubbed his forehead, looked at his phone screen, and sighed softly, feeling slightly helpless.

My insomnia has relapsed.

Xiaobai's insomnia is a "mental illness" that cannot be cured, but can only be alleviated.

The reason for this is that Xiaobai's insomnia is not strictly speaking a "disease" but a "constitution". This is because Xiaobai's mental power is too large and vigorous compared to ordinary people. In addition, she cannot control the release and release of her ship equipment abilities, which leads to an excess of mental power that has nowhere to go and is always active in her mental world, giving Xiaobai almost unlimited clarity and energy.

The simplest way Xiaobai could think of to alleviate this "mental illness" was to channel the excess mental energy into the ship equipment of his intimate marriage ship. By doing so, he would consume some of his mental energy, thereby making himself feel tired and sleepy. At the same time, he would try to slow down the recovery speed of his mental energy, so that he could get the sleepiness of a normal human in a short period of time and fall asleep peacefully.

Of course.

Even so.

Each time Xiaobai channeled his mental energy into the ship's equipment, he could only maintain a normal daily routine for a short period of about a week.

After all, even if Xiaobai tries her best to slow down the recovery of her mental energy, the depleted mental energy will be restored to its original state through Xiaobai's sleep.

Sometimes, if the target ship for marriage is a ship girl like Changchun whose ship equipment capacity is not large enough, Xiaobai's mental energy consumption at one time is not huge enough, and the time to transform into a normal person's daily routine is even less than three days.

For researchers who value time like money, or mobile game addicts who have endless gaming sessions (I'd like to specifically mention a ship girl here), never having to sleep might indeed be a wonderful thing. However, for someone like Xiaobai, who considers herself a normal human being and strictly follows the normal human biological clock, not being able to sleep is not only not a good thing, but also a torturous experience.

"Should I spend some time writing some runic fonts..." Xiao Bai muttered to himself, rubbing his forehead as he sat on the bed, looking at the desk not far away.

However, Xiaobai quickly shook her head and rejected the suggestion.

Admittedly, copying rune characters can also consume some mental energy, but at Xiaobai's current level, she would need to write at least tens of thousands of tally marks to have a normal human routine for even a short day.

I can’t finish it, I can’t finish it at all.

Xiaobai isn't a calligrapher; her handwriting is at best delicate, not elegant or beautiful at all. She'd rather spend her energy writing with a brush for so long than use it to flip through wedding ship signs at night.

After all, finding a wedding ship is a happy, comfortable, quick, and long-lasting experience.

Xiaobai got out of bed, changed her clothes in front of the mirror, and combed her long hair at the back of her head.

After quickly tidying herself up, Xiaobai sat back on the edge of the bed and continued scrolling through her phone.

Xiaobai remembered that he had made plans to go out and play with Shenhai Yamato at noon today.

So we need to hurry up today and finish the event before noon.

When Xiaobai entered the Admiral app, the system notified her that she had received 500 Challenge Tickets and a one-day truce token as compensation, and forced her to read the new exercise rules.

Xiaobai scrolled to the bottom of the exercise rules page, closed the rules page, entered the exercise interface, and checked the cost of the randomly matched tickets.

"Ding! Would you like to participate in random matchmaking?"

"Ding! You do not have enough challenge tickets. This random match will require 1000 challenge tickets (rewards +900%). You have 501 challenge tickets remaining, and you are 499 challenge tickets short!"

Xiao Bai helplessly weighed the phone in his hand.

The number of challenge tickets for random challenges has indeed increased.

—Well, for Xiaobai, this may not be a bad thing. It can be considered as a way to reduce the distance Xiaobai has to travel all over the map for exercises, from more than 30 exercises a day to only 3.

Xiao Bai went to the Admiral App backend and selected some daily missions in the 8-4 sea area. After the number of missions reached the limit, he went out.

Downstairs in the dormitory building, in the square in the early morning, there were very few ship girls who had gotten up early.

Montana stretched her legs and limbs on a bench by the roadside, doing her morning exercise.

Perhaps because of his morning exercise needs, Montana wasn't wearing his usual exoskeleton on his legs.

In the cool morning breeze, Montana's two shapely, long, and supple legs, clad only in a layer of black silk, were exposed to the air. With each press and stretch of her morning exercise, Xiaobai could clearly feel the healthy beauty brought by the perfect ratio of fat and muscle through the thin layer of black silk.

"Huh? Admiral, you're up so early today."

As Xiaobai approached, Montana, who was stretching her legs, twitched her ears. She turned around to look at Xiaobai and gave her a welcoming smile.

"What's wrong? Is the Admiral having trouble sleeping?"

"...Haha..." Xiaobai smiled bitterly.

The ship girls in the naval base all know that Shiro has been suffering from insomnia for a long time, but unfortunately, Montana has only just joined the naval base and is completely unaware of this. So, her words just now can only be said to be a joke that accidentally touched a nerve with Shiro.

"I'm having a bit of insomnia." Xiaobai sat down on the bench and looked closely at Montana as he stretched his legs. "Montana, do you always get up this early?"

"Yes, I usually don't sleep. Even if I do, I wake up at three o'clock."

"Huh? Is this okay?"

“I’m used to this kind of life, it’s fine.” Montana fanned her cheeks and stood up with a smile, saying, “But Admiral, you have such powerful ship equipment, yet you still want to live like a normal person, is that alright?”

"It's just a personal hobby..." Xiaobai scratched his head.

“You really do have a variety of hobbies.” Montana sat down next to Xiaobai, took out a bottle of mineral water from her ship equipment space, gulped down a few mouthfuls, and then handed it to Xiaobai, “Want some?”

Xiao Bai accepted the mineral water from Montana, looked at the glossy luster at the bottle opening, and took a small sip.

It has a sweet taste.

"Montana, thank you." Xiaobai handed the water bottle back to Montana. "Montana, do you have time?"

"Hmm? Today?"

"Ah."

"What is the admiral to do?"

"I made plans to go out with Deepsea Yamato at noon today, so I was thinking of finishing the event as soon as possible this morning," Xiaobai said. "Since you're up so early and you're awake, let's treat this as a warm-up. Why don't we do our daily tasks early?"

“Oh…that’s fine. Sure.” Montana nodded with a smile. “I haven’t been to the deep sea in a long time, this is a good opportunity to go for a stroll.”

Montana really knows how to give Newbies whatever they ask.

so good.

Xiao Bai looked at Montana gratefully.

When a ship girl like Montana goes on an expedition, she doesn't necessarily have to go alone. In fact, for a ship girl of her strength, there's not much difference between teaming up with others and not.

While it was still early, Xiaobai and Montana left the temporary naval base and headed to the 8-4 sea area.

Logically, the sea area should be open at 9:00 AM, but since Xiaobai and Montana each have one ship girl, firstly because there can only be one ship girl, and secondly because the Admiral Guild wouldn't stop them considering Xiaobai's status as the world's number one Admiral.

Xiaobai and Montana successfully arrived at sea area 8-4. After learning a little about the mission from Xiaobai, Montana rushed into the depths of sea area 8-4 alone.

In the dim light, Xiaobai could see golden flames burning fiercely in the deepest part of the 8-4 sea area.

About an hour later, Montana rushed back to the beach.

"Admiral, the mission is complete. Let's go to the Admiral's Guild to turn it in." Montana returned to Little White's side. Having returned from the sea, she showed no signs of battle whatsoever. Not only was she unharmed, but not a single hair was disheveled. If it weren't for the inevitable fishy smell lingering on her, most people wouldn't have guessed that she had just taken a trip to the depths of the 8-4 sea area. "I've collected all the tokens into my ship equipment space. Shall I take them out now?"

"So fast!" Xiaobai exclaimed.

"Soon? Since it's been a long time since I've explored the deep sea, I deliberately slowed down to get a feel for the environment," Montana said.

"That's amazing!" Xiaobai exclaimed.

"You flatter me, Admiral," Montana said with a smile, one hand on his hip.

Now that all the tokens for the daily activities have been collected, Xiaobai and Montana have left the 8-4 sea area and returned to the Admiral's Guild.

It's 6:30 AM now, and there's still more than an hour before the Admiral's Guild opens.

Returning to the temporary garrison in such a short time would be somewhat troublesome.

Just then, some breakfast stalls on the street had already opened, and the fresh air was filled with the aroma of steaming noodles.

Xiao Bai then realized that she and Meng Da had left in a hurry and hadn't had time to eat breakfast.

Since we're going to be waiting anyway, we might as well find a place to eat something and kill some time.

Xiao Bai and Montana chose a decent-looking breakfast stall, reserved a seat, ordered several baskets of steamed buns, soy milk, and fried dough sticks, and ate their breakfast while enjoying the morning scenery and waiting for the Admiral's Guild to open.

Chapter 3156 Xiaobai's New Best Friend

As time went by, the streets, which were almost deserted, gradually became bustling.

Early risers, accompanied by squads of ship girls, excitedly passed by the Admirals' Guild and headed off to various sea areas.

Occasionally, admirals would be drawn by the aroma of noodles in the air, their mouths watering as they stopped to eat with the ship girls at the breakfast stall. Just as they were about to approach, they saw a white-haired admiral with delicate and cute features, resembling a ship girl, sitting on a seat outside the breakfast stall with a twin-tailed ship girl wearing a futuristic oversized trench coat and whose legs were covered in exoskeletons.

Upon seeing this, the admirals turned pale with fright.

In an instant, the admirals hurriedly led their ship girls and fled in panic.

The breakfast stall staff looked helplessly at the scared-away customers, then glanced at Xiaobai and Montana, who seemed completely oblivious to the situation, and sighed in exasperation.

Xiaobai was using chopsticks to pick up a small steamed bun, dipped it in chili oil and vinegar, and stuffed it into her mouth.

The dough is soft and fluffy, and the meat filling is juicy.

With one bite, the tangy and spicy dipping sauce, combined with the texture and aroma of the bun, spreads throughout the mouth.

"Hmm...it tastes pretty good." Xiaobai said to Montana while chewing on a bun.

"Does the Admiral think the food in the canteen is better or the food here?" Montana rested his chin on his hands, looking at Xiaobai with great interest.
