Elder brother's garrison

Page 2310

I remember how incredibly slow Nia's ranking climb was in this segment. Those few dozen places were the result of several days of hard work from Nia. Today, her busy day has ruined all that effort. No wonder Nia is so depressed that she suddenly fell ill.

Ugh.

Xiaobai opened Nia's match history and checked the opponents in her six matches.

Upon checking, Xiaobai suddenly froze. Looking at the information on her phone, she subconsciously sat up straight and frowned.

wrong.

Previously, Xiaobai thought that Nia's six-game losing streak was due to fluctuating luck, but now, after carefully studying Nia's record, Xiaobai has discovered a very crucial piece of information.

—Nia's six consecutive losses were all against the same person!

Nia's opponent is named... Gu Ming?

Xiao Bai clicked on the battle record of the admiral named Gu Ming, seemingly lost in thought.

Gu Ming is currently ranked seventh in the world for this event.

Upon seeing this, Xiaobai's brows immediately furrowed.

Xiao Bai has a memory of Admiral Gu Ming. He is one of the few admirals who can still squeeze into the top ten rankings in the current environment.

If it weren't for the competition from Ning Lu, Jin Shiqi, and others, and without Xiao Bai's interference, Admiral Gu Ming would most likely be the next top ten admiral.

Because Gu Ming was a female admiral, Xiao Bai was particularly interested in looking at her information.

However, perhaps because he had seen human beauties like Nanxing and Ringo for too long, when Xiaobai first saw Gu Ming's photo, he thought this older sister was just average-looking. Although she wasn't bad-looking, her face and figure were far from those of the ship girls, and she was far from stunning. Therefore, he didn't pay much attention to her.

To everyone's surprise, Xiao Bai saw the name of Admiral Gu Ming again in this kind of setting.

Xiaobai put down her phone and looked at the ship girls in front of her.

"Veneto," Little White called out.

"Admiral Lu Lin, did you... did you call me?" Veneto suddenly trembled, and she quickly stood up, asking cautiously.

"Have you offended anyone recently?" Xiaobai asked.

"Offended...?" Veneto looked bewildered, shaking her head instinctively. "I don't think so..."

"That's strange." Xiaobai looked at her phone and muttered to herself.

"Admiral Lu Lin, what's strange?" Veneto stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

"Your exercise today ended with a six-game losing streak, right?" Xiaobai didn't answer, but asked instead.

“Ah…” Upon hearing this, Veneto’s face immediately turned somewhat guilty and embarrassed. She lowered her head and replied with a disappointed expression, “Um…yes…yes.”

"The person who challenged you is currently ranked seventh on the leaderboard?" Xiaobai asked again. "And you lost to her six times in a row, so she must have specifically chosen you as the challengers, right?"

“…Yes.” Upon hearing this, Veneto nodded subconsciously.

"So, what did you do to offend her? Why is she bullying you like this?" Xiaobai asked.

Upon hearing Xiaobai's words, Veneto's expression became even more complicated.

"You mean...Admiral Gu Ming, is that right?"

"You really do know her?"

“No… we don’t actually know her… but we’ve played so many games with her, we’ve gotten to know her even if we didn’t want to.” Veneto’s voice sounded a little weak for a moment as she said, “Actually… we have no grudge against this admiral.”

"Why would she treat you like this if there's no conflict between you?"

“About this…” Upon hearing this, Veneto lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and after a long while, said with a wronged expression, “Because we are… easy targets.”

"Ok?"

"We're ranked around the top 20 in the world, we...we're the easiest team to bully, so many people in the rankings are eager to practice against us to boost their points." Veneto said to Xiaobai, fiddling with the hem of his clothes. "It was alright before, because those who applied to challenge us were mostly people in the nearby rankings. Although we had our wins and losses, we could barely handle it. But today, I don't know what happened, this Admiral Gu Ming seems to have taken an interest in us and wants to use us to boost his points. He launched six designated practice sessions against us in one go..."

As Veneto finished speaking, she sniffed and her eyes welled up with tears.

Xiao Bai listened from the side and sighed softly, glancing at Admiral Gu Ming's world ranking.

"I see……"

It seems that as Nia's ranking has reached a high level, her powerful presence has gradually attracted the attention of some players focused on ranking up...

Compared to opponents who require challenge tickets and whose victory is not guaranteed, opponents like Nia, who are ranked higher, give more points for defeating them, and are relatively weak, are naturally "favored" by many high-ranking admirals.

It seems that this Admiral Gu Ming is not an individual; she represents the group of people who are "slave to points" in this segment.

Even if Admiral Gu Ming doesn't launch a series of challenges against Nia, other high-scoring players will continue to challenge her.

Thinking about this, Xiao Bai raised one hand to her forehead, lost in thought.

The essence of this problem... is indeed... that with Nia's current strength, staying at this crucial point where she's already struggling is quite difficult.

Xiao Bai was deep in thought.

Veneto from Nia's family also stood quietly beside Xiaobai, waiting for Xiaobai's reply.

Veneto would occasionally raise his head and look at Little White with a helpless yet hopeful gaze, but he would quickly lower his head again, his face showing a frustrated expression of hatred for his own powerlessness.

Right now, as time passes quietly.

Suddenly, a faint voice came from Nia's dormitory.

"Mmm..."

Upon hearing this voice, Xiaobai and the other ship girls immediately put down what they were doing and hurriedly looked at the bed.

On the bed, Nia's brows twitched slightly, then her eyelashes fluttered and she opened her eyes.

"Huh... what's wrong with me..." Nia uttered weakly, her voice as faint as the fluttering of a tiny larva's wings.

"Commander, you're awake!" The ship girls nearby exclaimed with delight upon seeing Nia awaken.

Xiao Bai quickly got up and walked towards the bed.

Nia, who had just woken up, felt dizzy and lightheaded. She propped herself up in bed and was about to ask the ship girls around her what had happened when she saw a snow-white figure appear in front of her.

"Nia, are you feeling alright?" Little White came to Nia and called out softly.

"Eh? Xiaobai...you, you're back..." Nia stared blankly at Xiaobai. Just as she was about to speak, her mind went blank, and her body fell backward uncontrollably.

Xiaobai quickly stepped forward and hugged Nia.

"Nia, calm down. You're too tired. Any emotional fluctuations will cause your body to react abnormally," Xiaobai said gently.

"Okay...okay..." Nia looked at Little White with fascination and whispered, "Little...Little White...did I just faint?"

"Yes, you collapsed at the dormitory entrance." Xiaobai smiled slightly. "You made everyone worry for quite a while."

"I'm...I'm sorry..." Nia looked regretful, staring blankly at Xiaobai's face. After a while, her expression suddenly turned guilty. "Xiaobai...I'm sorry..."

"Ok?"

"I lost so many battles in today's exercises... It's not my ship girls' fault, it's that I, as the admiral, didn't formulate a good battle plan..." Nia said guiltily, "At this rate... it will be difficult to stay in the current rankings, and I may not be able to break into the world's top ten..."

Upon hearing Nia's words, a glint appeared in Xiaobai's eyes.

"Nia, don't think so much." Xiaobai raised her hand and patted Nia's head. "Nia, you should start resting from tomorrow."

“…Huh?” Nia’s eyes widened suddenly. She quickly grabbed Xiaobai’s hand like a child who had done something wrong. “Xiaobai…I…I still want to try…Please…please don’t give up on me…I…”

Nia was so excited that her beautiful, full chest heaved nervously.

Xiao Bai quickly shook his head.

“Nia, I’m not giving up on you, I just think you need to rest.” Xiaobai gently patted Nia’s hand. “After all, you’ve already collapsed from exhaustion once, you need to recuperate for a few days, and… Nia, do you remember? In our original plan, you were to first break into the top 100 in the world rankings, and then I would find a way to get you into the top 10… Now you can reach the top 20 in the world without my help, you’re already very, very amazing.”

"Wh...what do you mean without Xiaobai's help...haven't you been helping me all along..." Nia whispered.

"I haven't really helped you properly yet... You did very well in this exercise, now it's my turn." Xiaobai smiled, "Since you're resting for the next couple of days, I'll go help your ship girls improve their strength."

"Just...two days?"

Two days is enough.

Xiaobai turned around and glanced at the ship girls present.

The ship girls present suddenly felt a chill run down their spines.

Chapter 3235 Arno Bakxiu

Xiao Bai's gaze was like the warm winter sun, gentle and kind.

But for some reason, all the ship girls present felt a jolt in their hearts and a strange sense of panic when they sensed that gaze.

A sense of absurdity, as if they were about to be executed at the execution ground, instantly overwhelmed all the ship girls.

But then, after realizing the meaning behind Xiaobai's words, the sense of panic was quickly overwhelmed by surprise and joy.

"Admiral Lu, are you going to train us?"

Veneto's eyes suddenly lit up. She subconsciously took two more steps forward, urgently clutching her chest with one hand, and hurriedly asked.

"Yes." Xiaobai nodded with a smile.

The other ship girls also looked at Shiro with expectant eyes.

The ship girls all showed expressions of relief, as if they had been liberated.

This is training personally agreed to by the world's number one admiral... Although this training may only last for two or three days and its effectiveness is really worrying, Xiaobai is as always a surprise to everyone. The ship girls present are still willing to believe that Xiaobai will give them a transformative upgrade experience.

At this moment, Xiaobai turned her head and looked at Nia on the bed with a smile.

"Nia, so you might need to lend me these ship girls for a few days, is that alright?"

"Sure, of course you can!" Nia nodded quickly after a moment of stunned silence, grabbing Xiaobai's wrist and saying, "Xiaobai, you can use it for as long as you want!"

"With your words, I feel relieved."

As Xiaobai finished speaking, he reached out and patted Nia's head.

"...Well, so Nia, you can rest assured these next few days. Once you've rested, I'll definitely bring these ship girls back to you completely transformed."

"Little White... I... I believe you!" Nia felt Little White's touch, and her complexion visibly improved, but soon she exhaled a few breaths of hot air. "Ah... um... but... Little White, I have a request..."

"Hmm? What request?"

"Well... when you're training the ship girls, can I watch from the side?" Nia lowered her head slightly, her eyes looking up, her hands nervously pressed between her thighs, her slender fingers intertwined.

"..." Xiaobai was silent for a while, "Nia, you just collapsed from exhaustion. You need to rest properly. What if you don't rest well and develop aftereffects..."

"I promise I'll stay here!" Hearing this, Nia immediately grabbed Xiaobai's hand pitifully, pressed Xiaobai's palm against her cheek, and rubbed against it like a kitten. "If it's just for resting, I'm fine anywhere... So if I could choose the location, I hope I can rest in a place where I can see you and the other ship girls... That way I'll feel more at ease and at ease..."

Nia's face was so delicate it seemed like it could be broken with a touch; the young girl's skin was like the most tender silk fabric.

Xiaobai was momentarily distracted by Nia's movement, but she quickly came to her senses and looked back at the ship girls beside her.

The ship girls all looked obedient and followed the commands of the two admirals.

“…Well…okay then.” After thinking for a while, Xiaobai smiled at Nia and continued, “After all, it’s normal for you to be a little worried about suddenly taking so many ship girls away. In that case, come with us.”

"Ah—thank you, Xiaobai!"

"You're welcome, you're welcome. It was nothing." Xiaobai pinched Nia's cheek, smiled, and turned to look at the ship girls. "Veneto, you guys should also hurry back to your dorms and pack your things. Training time is limited. We'll set off after you've packed up."

"Huh? Aren't we training in Chapter Eight?"

"I've already handed the training ground over to Lianlian. We need to find a larger and more spacious place," Xiaobai said. "Let me make this clear: this training session is limited. In order to achieve the desired effect as soon as possible, I won't let you come back before the training ends. So take anything you want with you."

Upon hearing this, the ship girls immediately snapped out of their daze.

"Well then, Admiral Lu Lin, we'll head to the dormitory to pack our things! We'll be right back!"

The ship girls present immediately ran out of Nia's room and disappeared down the corridor in the blink of an eye.

Xiaobai smiled as she watched the ship girls' departing figures. Suddenly, she felt something soft and warm move in her arms.

Xiao Bai looked down and saw Nia softly fall into his arms. Her hands gently wrapped around Xiao Bai's neck, and her full breasts pressed against his chest.

This wonderful touch truly saddened Xiaobai.

"Nia, are you tired again?" Xiaobai asked.

"Mmm...mmm...it's...it's alright..." Nia murmured softly in Xiaobai's arms. After a while, she raised her lips and whispered in Xiaobai's earlobe, "Xiaobai...thank you..."

"You're welcome," Xiaobai smiled.

Nia lay prostrate on Little White, quietly inhaling its scent.

A few seconds later, Nia gently pressed Xiaobai's shoulder and stood up.

"Xiaobai, I'm so sorry... I'm so useless... I've made you keep helping me." Nia felt guilty.
