Elder brother's garrison

Page 2327

Just as Xiaobai was feeling relieved, she suddenly felt a direct gaze fixed on her.

Xiao Bai followed the gaze and saw Nia waving at him with a sweet smile, beckoning him to come over.

Xiaobai subconsciously touched the baseball cap on her forehead, but looking at Nia's warm and sweet smile, she smiled helplessly, then lowered her hands and jogged towards Nia.

makes sense……

Xiao Bai's low-level disguise was only good enough to fool people who hadn't seen him much before.

Nia and Xiaobai are so close that they can sleep in the same bed and take a bath together. It's not surprising that Nia can recognize Xiaobai at a glance.

Xiaobai approached Nia somewhat embarrassed.

"Little White...you're here." Nia smiled at Little White.

"Nia, you... you found me?" Xiaobai smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Ah."

When was it discovered?

“Hmm…it was probably when you first arrived.” Nia touched her lips and thought for a moment. “I was equipping Cleveland with ship equipment when I suddenly felt your gaze, Little White. I looked in your direction and saw you.”

"So early... Why didn't you call me over sooner?" Xiaobai said helplessly.

"It's because you looked like you didn't want me to find out..." Nia smiled. "Now that the exercise is over, I can finally call you over, Xiaobai."

“Okay…” Xiaobai scratched his cheek.

Beside Xiaobai, the ship girls from Nia's family couldn't hide their excitement.

A group of ship girls immediately surrounded Shiro.

"Admiral Lu Lin! We...we seem to have become stronger!"

"I finally realized that we really did manage to easily dodge the attacks from Admiral Gu Ming's ship girls!"

"Those attacks were too crude, they had no power at all, and they were nowhere near as impactful as when you trained us, Admiral Lu Lin!"

The ship girls chattered amongst themselves.

"Looks like the training is quite effective." A smile appeared on Xiaobai's lips.

"Admiral Lu Lin! Thank you—" The ship girls squatted down, and everyone reached out and hugged Xiao Bai's waist.

Xiao Bai was suddenly the center of attention.

Just then, Nia's phone also made a ringing sound.

Nia took out her phone and glanced at it. Then, a look of surprise spread across her face as she showed the phone to Xiaobai with a big smile.

"Little White, look!"

Xiao Bai looked at Nia's phone.

Nia's phone contained the results data of this exercise.

"Ding! Respected Admiral, your recent exercise points have been calculated. You won this orienteering challenge exercise, earning +46 points and rising to 37th in the world rankings. Keep up the good work!"

Chapter 3260 Huge Progress

"Only 46 points for winning once..." Xiaobai pinched his chin, staring at Nia's phone screen, and said with slight dissatisfaction, "I thought defeating an admiral in the top ten would at least give me one or two hundred points."

“Where can you get so many points?” Nia heard Xiaobai’s words, she held her phone back to her chest and smiled at Xiaobai, “Forty-six points... that’s a lot. In a normal practice, I can only get a dozen points in one game. The points I got in this practice are equivalent to three or four victories.”

After Nia finished speaking, she looked at the points she had earned on her phone with a happy expression, as if she couldn't put it down.

Nia is really easy to please.

Little White looked at Nia and sighed softly to himself.

After the exercise ended, Admiral Gu Ming and his ship girls had already disappeared on the other side of the beach. The crowd that Admiral Gu Ming had left on the beach looked at Nia's direction with some embarrassment, and finally scattered like birds.

After saying goodbye to the referee, Xiaobai and Nia left the training ground with their ship girls.

"Admiral Lu Lin, your training was so effective!" No sooner had everyone left the training ground than the ship girls from Nia's family couldn't contain their excitement and crowded around, exclaiming to Xiaobai with delight, "We've gotten so much stronger!"

"That's right, congratulations!" Xiaobai nodded with a smile.

"Our Admiral Lu Lin is truly amazing!" The ship girls of Nia's family exclaimed repeatedly, their faces flushed with joy. "We never imagined that after just three days of training with Admiral Lu Lin, we would have been transformed in the face of what was once an invincible enemy."

"..." Upon hearing this, Xiaobai smiled but remained silent.

Although these ship girls from the Nia family only trained with Xiaobai for three days, the resources consumed in training them during those three days were enough to bankrupt most of the naval bases in Chapter 8.

After all, during that high-intensity training process, these ship girls needed six units of rapid repair devices almost every ten seconds. This rate of consumption was terrifying, almost like dumping the rapid repair devices directly into the trash can.

In a typical naval base, a ship girl might only use one or two quick-repair tokens a day.

Only a large naval base like the newbie naval base can afford such a drain.

Moreover, on the other hand, the reason why Nia's six ship girls were able to achieve such good training results in these three days was partly due to the huge consumption of resources, but the other main reason was that they had already pushed themselves to the limit and were ship girls with excellent strength and potential. They were only a little bit short of being truly top-tier ship girls before, and they lacked a certain vision.

All Xiaobai did was give them a push.

If you replace the ship girls that Xiaobai is training with ordinary ship girls from other naval bases, then even if it takes thirty days or three hundred days, let alone three days, it probably won't have any effect. It might even have the opposite effect, directly causing the ship girls to become permanently withdrawn.

Xiao Bai smiled as she watched the ship girls from Nia's family chatter excitedly all the way home, like a group of elementary school students.

Xiao Bai's gaze quickly shifted to Nia.

"Nia, what are you going to do next?" Xiaobai asked.

"Ah, I, I want to continue practicing!" Nia replied immediately, full of fighting spirit. "Now that Veneto and the others can defeat such formidable opponents, I'll go to the Admiral's Guild to accept a mission, and then strike while the iron is hot to practice and increase my points! I must climb up the rankings as soon as possible!"

"That's great!" Xiaobai was impressed by Nia's ambition and asked, "So, are you going to challenge Admiral Gu Ming from earlier?"

"Huh? Admiral Gu Ming?" Nia paused for a moment, then asked curiously, "Why?"

"Because beating her earns a lot of points," Xiaobai said. "Besides, she bullied you so much before, and now that you've finally beaten her, you should at least settle the score with her!"

“Settling accounts…” Nia murmured Xiaobai’s words, blinked, and looked down at her phone.

After a while.

Nia smiled a little shyly at Xiaobai.

"Settling accounts...no...isn't that a bit inappropriate..."

"What's wrong?"

"It feels a bit unfair... I'll stick with random challenges." Nia pursed her lips, her cheeks slightly flushed as she explained, "Besides... if I can guarantee a victory, random challenges give more overall victory points..."

“Okay…” Xiaobai nodded in agreement, seeing Nia’s expression.

makes sense.

Nia doesn't seem like the type to bully a young man in poverty or seek revenge; she's just too kind-hearted.

Since Nia had already put it this way, and the random challenge did indeed award more points if she won all her matches, Xiaobai didn't try to persuade Nia any further. She just smiled and patted her shoulder, encouraging her.

With Xiaobai's encouragement, Nia's fighting spirit immediately burned like a flame.

Nia was going to the Admiral's Guild to accept missions, collect daily challenge tickets, and then engage in endless sortie exercises. At this point, Xiaobai was quite confident about Nia's upcoming exercises. She felt that she didn't need to follow Nia around all the time. So, after leaving the beach, Xiaobai said a simple goodbye to Nia and the enthusiastic ship girls, and then parted ways to return to the temporary naval base.

Xiaobai stood on the street, waving as she watched Nia and the others disappear at the end of the street.

Only after his eyes could no longer detect any trace of Nia and her group did Xiaobai lower his hand, press his groin, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Phew... In short, we don't need to worry about Nia anymore..." Xiaobai murmured. "Since Veneto and the others can defeat the seventh-ranked admiral so easily, it means that although their strength is not as good as the veteran top ten admirals, they should at least be able to break into the top ten..."

Xiao Bai muttered to himself, somewhat satisfied with what he had just arrived. He crossed his arms, pressed his fingers against his chin, and nodded.

Xiao Bai had indeed thought that his training could improve Veneto and the others' combat power, but he didn't expect that Veneto and the others could improve their combat power so much in one go through this training.

It's quite something that they instantly shrouded an opponent they could never beat before in the blink of an eye.

Perhaps this is what is called talent.

In this sense, Veneto and her family in Nia's family are quite impressive.

Chapter 3261 What kind of bad person could like Nia?

After considering Veneto and the others, Xiaobai wanted to get home as quickly as possible.

However, after deciding to return to the naval base, Shiro had just lifted her foot when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar ship girl passing by on the street.

"Ok?"

Xiao Bai paused for a moment, staring at the ship girl from before, watching her figure squeeze into the crowd and weave through the street.

Xiao Bai thoughtfully put his foot down.

The ship girl that Xiaobai just saw was the ship girl that Admiral Gu Ming used to participate in the exercise.

Because Xiaobai had previously disguised herself and stayed by Admiral Gu Ming's side, she remembered the appearances of all of Gu Ming's ship girls and had a fairly deep impression of them.

"Can we still see Admiral Gu Ming's ship girls here...? That's strange. They just lost the competition, but they don't seem too disappointed..." Xiaobai muttered to herself, staring at the direction the ship girl had just left, her gaze gradually turning worried. "Hmm... Could it be... that they're not satisfied with losing the exercise and are going to do something bad to Nia...?"

Thinking of this, Xiaobai suddenly felt a great sense of responsibility.

Admiral Gu Ming is, after all, a female admiral with considerable popularity among top admirals. If her clique were to exclude anyone or secretly sabotage them, how could Nia, a girl with an excessively kind heart, possibly defeat such a group by herself?

No.

Nia is currently seizing the opportunity to break into the top ten admirals, and she can't let these people disturb her.

In short... just in case, I should go and take a look.

Thinking of this, Xiaobai immediately quickened her pace and followed behind the ship girl.

For a novice, following a ship girl on a crowded, noisy street is a very simple thing. The ship girl being followed is unlikely to be aware that someone is following her in such an environment.

So Xiaobai followed the ship girl from before through one street after another, watching her buy a lot of snacks from the food stalls on the street, and then carry large and small bags into the alley.

Xiaobai quietly followed the ship girl to the entrance of the alley.

Xiao Bai looked up at the alley and saw that there were temporary garrison mansions divided up in the alley. These garrison mansions were certainly not as luxurious and large as the ones Xiao Bai had seen before. To put it bluntly, they were more like the large courtyards that Xiao Bai rented in the second chapter than temporary garrison mansions. But even so, these residences were much more spacious and free than places like hotels.

"So Admiral Gu Ming lives here..."

Xiaobai walked into the alley and watched from afar as the innocent ship girl entered one of the temporary garrison buildings.

After the ship girls entered the temporary naval base, Xiaobai quickened her pace to follow. When she arrived at the entrance of Gu Ming's temporary naval base, she saw fresh flowers in the trash cans at the entrance. The gate of the temporary naval base was wide open, and the ship girls who had participated in the exercise were chatting on the steps at the entrance of the naval base.

"I'm back!"

The ship girl, who had just gone out to buy snacks, was carrying large and small bags and calling out to her friends.

"Oh my gosh! I'm finally back! My fried stinky tofu!"

"My candied hawthorn, sweet candied hawthorn!"

"It's been so long since I've had donkey rolls!"

The ship girls welcomed them, quickly taking the bags and packages of snacks. They carried the snacks up the steps, unpacked them, and enjoyed them with great satisfaction.

This kind of behavior is quite innocent and naive.

There was no indication that they had made things difficult for Veneto and her team during the training exercise.

Xiaobai squatted at the doorway, watching the group of ship girls, and then looked towards the rooms in the courtyard.

Xiao Bai's gaze swept over the side rooms, finally landing on what was clearly the master bedroom. Xiao Bai pinched his chin and thought for a while, then walked around the wall to the back of the master bedroom. With a light jump, he climbed over the wall and quietly slipped into the yard.

Xiao Bai's infiltration skills are getting better and better.

Xiao Bai stood in the open space between the master bedroom and the wall, patted the dust off his body, and looked around.

The surroundings were empty, with no ship girls patrolling at all. Xiaobai quietly came to the window at the back of the master bedroom, pushed open the window, kicked her legs on the windowsill, and jumped into the room.

The master bedroom is decorated and laid out like a real home, the kind with four bedrooms and a living room.

It seems that the master bedroom is Gu Ming's residence alone, and there won't be any other ship girls here.

Xiao Bai climbed over the wall and entered the kitchen of the room. The kitchen was filled with a lot of everyday items. She carefully squatted down in the kitchen and gently pushed open the door. The room was quiet and there was not a sound.

Hmm... Could it be that Gu Ming hasn't come home yet?

A question popped into Xiaobai's mind. Thinking of this, she got up, left the kitchen, and went to the living room.

The living room furniture is arranged in a very formal and simple manner. Every piece of furniture, as well as small items such as the TV remote and fruit bowl, are neatly arranged, which gives a clear impression that the resident is a self-disciplined and clean person.

Xiao Bai covered her mouth and looked around.

The bedroom door is right next to it.

Xiaobai arrived at the bedroom door, first putting his ear to the back of the door to listen to the sounds inside.
