Elder brother's garrison

That night, Veneto and his group had consumed an unknown number of rapid repair devices.

However... the effect is also very obvious.

After all, Veneto and her group were initially easily defeated by Xiaobai, but after a night of intense training, they can now last three seconds against Xiaobai.

Those three seconds represent a huge improvement.

Although the price paid was quite high.

Xiaobai looked at the ship girls with some pity.

The training period is only a few days, and if the intensity isn't increased, how can there be any effect?

Hopefully, these few hours will allow Veneto and the others to recover quickly (referring to their near-collapse).

Xiaobai prayed to the ship girls in this way.

The deep-sea Taihou also picked up the ship girls and placed them on the beds.

The deep-sea Taihou skillfully installed rapid repair devices on the ship girls, helped them wring out the seawater, tidied their appearance, and took care of them so they could rest. Soon, the ship girls' exhausted voices gradually calmed down.

All the ship girls drifted off to sleep.

Chapter 3242 Visiting the Elderly

Generally speaking, as long as the ship equipment is still operating, the ship girls will not feel tired or sleepy.

Even so, after being constantly killed, resurrected, killed again, resurrected again, and killed again throughout the entire night, Nia's ship girls, while physically able to hold on, were mentally on the verge of collapse.

Therefore, adequate rest is necessary.

After all, Xiaobai isn't some kind of demon.

Under the meticulous care of several Abyssal Taihou, the ship girls of Nia's family gradually drifted off to sleep.

Xiao Bai was holding Nia's milk tea cup, preparing to drink the remaining half cup in one gulp.

Just then, several deep-sea phoenixes, with nothing to do, opened their big, watery eyes and were attracted by the aroma of milk tea.

One by one, the deep-sea phoenixes stayed beside Xiaobai, their index fingers lightly touching their lower lips, staring intently and curiously at the milk tea cup in Xiaobai's hand.

Although they didn't say anything, it was as if they said everything.

Xiaobai, holding a cup of milk tea, smiled at the Deep Sea Taihou. She glanced back at Nia, who was still brewing milk tea in front of the stove, and then handed the cup of milk tea to the Deep Sea Taihou.

The deep-sea phoenixes' eyes lit up slightly. They stepped forward, their soft bodies pressed against Xiaobai, and they took Xiaobai's milk tea cup with both hands.

A group of deep-sea giant phoenixes, as if they had received a priceless treasure, raised Shiro's milk tea cup and left.

After the deep-sea giants left, Nia returned to Shiro's side with freshly brewed milk tea.

"Xiaobai, I'm back... Huh? Where's the cup?" As soon as Nia returned to Xiaobai's side, she saw that Xiaobai's hands were empty, and she couldn't help but be curious.

"Ah... I just saw that Xiaohong and the others seemed to really want a sip, so I gave them some." Xiaobai smiled apologetically at Nia.

"Oh...I see." Nia looked at the cluster of deep-sea phoenixes in the distance.

On the other side of the platform, the Deep-Sea Taihou who had obtained Xiaobai's milk tea cup spontaneously gathered together. The Deep-Sea Taihou in the center stood tall and proud, raising the milk tea cup above its head with a devout expression, its posture resembling that of a high priest in a primitive tribe holding up fire. Upon seeing this, the surrounding Deep-Sea Taihou all formed a circle and prostrated themselves on the spot, repeatedly kowtowing to the high priest Deep-Sea Taihou in the center.

This scene... looks like the deep-sea giant phoenixes are holding some kind of special ceremony.

These deep-sea deans... they certainly know how to have fun.

Nia looked away and smiled at Xiaobai, saying, "I made a lot more milk tea. If Xiaohong and the others like it, I'll share some with them later."

"Thank you so much, Nia."

"You're welcome." Nia handed the milk tea cup to Xiaobai. "Xiaobai, this cup is new, so please don't give it to anyone else."

Xiaobai took the milk tea cup, took a sip, savoring the rich milky flavor spreading in her mouth, and smiled shyly at Nia.

Xiao Bai glanced at Nia's condition.

When Xiaobai decided to bring Nia to the deep sea, she was a little worried that the environment would affect her rest. However, after that night, Xiaobai found that Nia's mental state had actually recovered to its peak. Her complexion was rosy, her breathing was strong, she was full of energy, and her movements were steady. She no longer had the weakness that made her feel like she would fall over with the slightest push.

Young is good.

Xiao Bai couldn't help but sigh.

"Nia, did you sleep last night?"

"I slept for eight hours."

"You recovered like this after just one night's sleep. You're so healthy!"

"Hehe, it's alright. Actually, when I was in school, my teachers often praised me for my good physique." Nia grinned and said to Xiaobai with a blush, "Don't underestimate me just because I'm a girl. I grew up doing rough work."

"..." Xiaobai lowered her head and sipped her milk tea. After a while, she looked up at Nia and said, "Oh...right, Nia."

"Ok?"

"How many rapid repair devices did we use last night?"

"Oh... let me see, quite a lot has been used up..." Nia ran to a nearby spot and pressed a button on the platform's control panel.

A series of booming sounds echoed as a large warehouse rose from a smooth platform. The warehouse doors opened, and a large number of used rapid repair devices poured out, piling up into a small mountain.

Nia retrieved the note from beside the warehouse and returned to Little White's side.

"Let me check... the quick repair expenses from last night to this morning..." Nia read on, then suddenly her wrist twitched, and she showed an incredulous expression. "Huh? It... it's over 11,000 yuan... is it really that much??"

Nia was stunned by the data written in black and white on the paper before her.

Xiao Bai, who was standing to the side, listened to Nia's expense report with a relatively calm mood and did not show much surprise.

—The cost of this quick repair is still within the novice's calculations.

From yesterday afternoon to this morning, Xiaobai and the ship girls from Nia's family trained continuously for about eleven or twelve hours.

If the ship girls are heavily damaged during training, the deep-sea Taihou waiting on the surface of the sea will rush up immediately to help the ship girls use the quick repair device.

Twelve hours is roughly forty thousand seconds.

The number of ship girls from Nia's family participating in the training is six.

Each time a ship girl is heavily damaged, and is then subjected to a rapid repair device, it takes approximately twenty seconds.

If we do a little division, then spending more than 10,000 yuan on a quick repair device in one night is reasonable.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that the Nia family's ship girls actually require less quick repair than Xiaobai expected. This is likely because, as their training progressed, they were able to withstand Xiaobai's attacks for a few more seconds.

Thinking of this, Xiaobai looked at Nia.

Nia was holding the bill, her mouth opening and closing incessantly, her face contorted with panic as if she had been the victim of a financial scam.

"So, training is such a resource-intensive thing..." Nia stammered.

"That's how quick repairs are; they can easily cost money if you're not careful," Xiaobai said with a smile. "There are still several days of training left, and it will cost even more later."

Improving the strength of ship girls comes at a price.

Quick repair is one of these many costs.

It's only because this new naval base has a deep foundation that it can withstand such extravagant spending; any other naval base would probably go bankrupt and close down in no time.

"Little...Little White..." Nia swallowed hard, looking at Little White with a pitiful expression, "These...these repair kits...I'll return them to you later, okay..."

Nia's words made Xiaobai laugh.

"Sure, you can make me a cup of milk tea every day, and this debt will be wiped clean in ten years," Xiaobai said with a smile.

“Xiaobai, how can this be? How can something as precious as fast repair be compared to milk tea…” Nia quickly shook her head, as if afraid that Xiaobai would be at a disadvantage. She immediately started doing math problems in front of Xiaobai, “If we measure it by value, the expenses just last night are enough for me to make milk tea for you for a hundred years, or even a thousand years…”

Xiaobai smiled at Nia, shook her head, and pushed the milk tea cup in her hand into Nia's arms.

"There are a lot of quick repairs, but it's not too much for a newbie naval base," Xiaobai said slowly to Nia. "As long as you can get into the top ten, it's worth it for me."

“…Ah…the top ten…” Nia held Xiaobai’s milk tea cup, blinked, looked down at the milk tea cup, and suddenly realized, “Oh right…that’s true.”

"Right?" Xiaobai said with a smile.

“If I become one of the top ten admirals, the milk tea I make will be made by one of the top ten admirals themselves… its value will indeed increase a little…” Nia said earnestly, her eyes shining with determination. “Little White, I will listen to you from now on! Whether it’s milk tea or anything else, I will make it up to you, Little White!”

"……"noob.

For once, Xiaobai felt a rare sense of absurdity when talking to Nia, as if he were talking to a brick wall.

but……

That's it.

As long as Nia can handle the strain of this training session, that's fine.

Xiaobai stood on the platform, watching the deep-sea giant phoenixes come and go.

After a while, Little White turned around and called out to Nia.

"Nia, it just so happens that these ship girls are taking a break, so I'm going out for a bit," Xiaobai said. "Would you like to come with me?"

"Huh? Going out? Are you going back to Chapter Eight?" Nia was taken aback, then asked.

"No, no, no, I don't want to go back to Chapter 8."

“Not going back to Chapter 8…” Nia asked, puzzled.

"This is the second chapter," Xiaobai said to Nia, pointing to the water below the platform. "The second chapter is the president's hometown."

"Ah... Xiaobai, are you going to visit President Naige?" Nia finally understood.

"Yes, it's a rare opportunity to come all this way, so I'll go visit when I have time," Xiaobai said with a smile. "Nia, do you want to come with me?"

“I’m going to see President Naige… I actually went to see her once during the exercise, but…” Nia covered her mouth and thought for a while. She pondered for a moment, then glanced at Xiaobai’s face. She was initially a little excited, but when her gaze continued to sweep over the ship girls who were sleeping on the platform, Nia’s gaze became somewhat troubled.

Actually, it doesn't matter whether Nia looks at President Er Gou or not; Nia mainly wants to go out with Xiao Bai.

But as the admiral, Nia couldn't just leave the ship girls here... This really put Nia in a dilemma.

Xiaobai noticed Nia's predicament and said with a smile.

"Nia, don't worry, Xiao Hong and the others have a lot of experience in taking care of people, so there's absolutely no chance of anything going wrong."

"Ah... then I'm relieved." Nia felt at ease upon hearing this. She pursed her lips and nodded slightly to Xiaobai. "Xiaobai, then... then I'll go with you now."

Nia stood up, moved closer to Xiaobai, smiled sweetly, and put her arm around her.

Chapter 3243 Cheese Old Man

Nia's body was pressed very close to Xiaobai's, and her face was full of a happy smile.

Xiaobai was swayed twice by Nia's body leaning against her, and she smiled and spoke to Nia.

"Nia, you're holding me so tightly, I can hardly walk."

"Then, I'll loosen my grip a little..." Nia blushed and slightly loosened Xiaobai's arm.

Super Big and the others were watching Little White and Nia longingly from not far away.

Shiro seemed to sense Yamato's gaze. She looked at Yamato, smiled, and extended her hand to her.

"Super Yamato, come on, let's go."

Upon hearing Xiaobai's call, Chaoda's face immediately lit up with a bright expression. She quickly put down what she was holding and hurried over.

The three of them arrived at the edge of the platform and glanced down at the water below.

The platform was over ten meters high, and Nia had never stepped off it since she stood on it.

"Little White, are we going to... cross the sea?" Standing at the edge of the steps, Nia saw that Super Giant didn't seem to be summoning a teleportation vortex, so she asked Little White curiously.

“Yes.” Xiaobai nodded.

"Xiaobai, didn't Chaoda and she set up a teleportation anchor point in the second chapter?" Nia asked curiously, "Why don't we use the teleportation anchor point to get there?"

“If we use the teleportation function, what’s the difference between us going there in Chapter 8 and us going there in Chapter 2?” Xiaobai said seriously. “We’re currently visiting Chapter 2 because of training, and we’re planning to stop by to see the guild leader. The key to the ritual is that we’re stopping by! And most importantly, if we use the teleportation function, the guild leader will know we’re here. We’re going to give her a surprise this time!”

"So that's how it is... No wonder you're called Little White!" Nia nodded repeatedly from the side.

Life always needs a little ritual to spice things up.

So Xiaobai chose to walk.

Xiaobai wrapped her arms around Nia's waist, and together they gently jumped off the platform.

Whoosh whoosh—

The icy sea breeze instantly swept past the three of them.

A few seconds later, Xiaobai and Chaoda landed steadily on the water, while Nia snuggled into Xiaobai's arms, clinging tightly to Xiaobai's neck.
