Xiao Bai slightly raised her eyes and glanced at Deep Sea Akagi.
Akagi Shinkai also had a faint smile on her face as she gazed intently at the sea, her bright red pupils seemingly reflecting the sparks on the surface.
Akagi seemed to be looking at the sea, or perhaps at something much further away. The look in her eyes held a mixture of nostalgia, appreciation, and other indescribable emotions.
Xiao Bai withdrew her gaze, a hint of regret flashing in her eyes.
Akagi from the Deep Sea... she probably also wants to regain her ship equipment...
Unfortunately, this is still beyond the capabilities of a novice like me.
Although Xiaobai already has two successful shipboard equipment installation surgeries, the situation in Akagi is much more complicated than that in Shropshire or Nanxing.
First of all, it should be noted that when Shropshire and Nanxing were undergoing ship equipment installation surgery, the ship equipment they used was originally their own, and the ship equipment they used was their biological mother's. Even so, Nanxing, who used her biological mother's ship equipment, almost died during the surgery. If it weren't for the intervention of the Deep Sea Will, which forcibly lowered Nanxing's body temperature, Nanxing's ship equipment installation surgery would have ended in failure.
Even between biological mothers and biological daughters, there is such a situation of rejection. The degree of rejection between deep-sea creatures like the Deep Sea Akagi and conventional ship equipment would only be more intense.
Xiaobai couldn't even imagine what kind of terrible rejection would occur if a completely unfamiliar ship equipment were installed on Akagi.
Thinking of this, Xiaobai reached out and grasped Deep Sea Akagi's hand.
As if sensing something, Akagi looked down at Shiro with a smile, gently clasped her hands together, and then grasped Shiro's hand in return.
Xiaobai's gaze was fixed on his hand, which was tightly clasped with Shenhai Chicheng's, and the regret in his eyes deepened.
and……
Compared to the issue of ship equipment... the most fatal problem is Akagi's innate talent.
The reason why Xiaobai said that Akagi's situation was more complicated was mainly because, after losing her ship equipment, Akagi's talent for perceiving and controlling mental power, as well as her ability to manipulate ship equipment, seemed to have dissipated like smoke and rain over time, along with the ship equipment.
It's like a fairy who should have been high above all others has violated the heavenly rules and has been banished to the mortal realm to become a human.
For example, when Xiaobai is holding Shenhai Chicheng's hand and slowly channeling his spiritual energy into her body, Shenhai Chicheng doesn't feel anything at all, just like one of the millions of ordinary people in human society.
This is the biggest difference between Deepsea Akagi and Nanxing and Shropshire.
This is also the most unsolvable problem.
No one without talent can install shipboard equipment.
Just like a USB cable that can't be plugged into a brick, something that can't be done simply can't be done, with no room for compromise.
It's no exaggeration to say that Akagi is practically immune to ship equipment issues these days. Even Nia, the human admiral who started the admiral network, might have better ship equipment talent than Akagi is now.
Akagi seemed to be clearly aware of her own situation, so even though she showed great interest in Nanxing after Nanxing obtained her ship equipment, she never once asked Xiaobai if he could help her obtain ship equipment as well.
After all, the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
Akagi Deep Sea can no longer bear any more disappointment.
The fierce battle in the training field grew longer and longer, and the ship girls around were gradually drawn to the intense battle between Nanxing and Washington.
The ship girls stared in astonishment at the exercise field.
"Huh? Is that Washington in the exercise field? Who's her opponent? And why is she wearing an admiral's uniform?"
"Wow, they're really going to fight back and forth!"
"There aren't many people in this garrison who are as skilled as Washington."
"This newcomer is quite good; she's very agile. Is she one of the sisters the Admiral recently recruited?"
"Wait, this person's face... I feel like I've seen it somewhere before..."
"..."
Discussions began to rise from the surrounding area.
Xiaobai sat up from Akagi, looked around at the ship girls who were crowding around her, and couldn't help but scratch her cheek.
"There are so many people," Xiaobai said.
"Doesn't Your Majesty like a more lively atmosphere?" Akagi asked with a smile.
"Ah...it's alright..." Xiaobai put down her hand and glanced at the other ship girls.
The other ship girls also crowded around when they saw Shiro.
"Hey! Admiral, you're back!"
"And Akagi Abyss! I heard you've become the Admiral's married ship too! Congratulations!"
"Admiral, Admiral, who is that girl fighting Washington? She looks kind of familiar!"
"And this skill is extraordinary, at least at the level of a top ten naval ace!"
"That's right! Admiral, have you been poaching talent from other top ten garrison commanders again? Could it be that Admiral Haoding has finally fallen victim to your wicked schemes..."
The ship girls blinked their eyes and made bold guesses.
The ship girls' speculations made Xiaobai unable to hold back any longer.
Wait a minute... Xiaobai thinks it's one thing to have a bad reputation outside the naval base, but why does everyone inside the naval base think she's the kind of person who would easily steal someone else's ship?
Are you such a person?
Akagi smiled and greeted each of the ship girls.
Xiaobai also pouted and spoke to the ship girls.
"Don't make wild guesses... I didn't go to other naval bases to poach other people's ship girls."
"And who is this new sister...?"
"She's Sister Nanxing," Xiaobai explained briefly.
"Sister Nanxing?" The ship girls were taken aback and murmured subconsciously.
"It's the admiral of Nanxing Garrison, which is currently ranked fifth among the top ten garrisons," Xiaobai explained.
"Oh...it's the Admiral. It's alright then...I was wondering why you looked so familiar."
Upon hearing this, the ship girls suddenly understood.
The ship girls, chatting and laughing, looked away, and the lively crowd quickly quieted down.
then.
The beach fell into a deathly silence.
A few more seconds passed.
Suddenly, one of the ship girls, who had finally realized what was happening, blinked.
"Huh? Wait a minute... what does this mean... this guy who's going back and forth with Washington... is Admiral Nanxing?!"
"Huh? Admiral Nanxing...isn't he human???"
"what?"
"Hey, hey, hey!"
"Her combat ability is...is that high?!"
"Could it be that her ship's equipment is that of an admiral...?"
The ship girls stared wide-eyed, bewildered, mouths agape, all looking at Xiaobai.
Good guy!
As expected of my admiral!
It's nothing for others to poach ship girls, but when our own admiral poachs, the best ones are actually poaching admirals from other naval bases by equipping them with ship equipment!
complete in one step!
Chapter 3273 The Own of Nanxing
Xiaobai suddenly felt that her image in the hearts of her ship girls might have gone a bit astray.
Xiaobai blushed and chased away the ship girls who were making a fuss around her.
The ship girls sang and danced, laughing as they dispersed.
As Xiaobai listened to the gradually fading laughter of the ship girls, she pouted and threw herself into the arms of Akagi.
This cold naval base can now only find some warmth in Akagi's embrace.
The fierce battle on the sea lasted for several hours.
As noon approached and the sun hung high in the sky, radiating heat, the seemingly endless battle on the sea finally began to subside.
"Phew—Admiral, we're back!"
Washington, covered in sweat, came ashore with her hands raised. She looked as if she had just come from a sauna, her whole body soaked in water vapor. As soon as she ran ashore, she eagerly asked Little White for supplies.
"Admiral, hurry, hurry, water, water, water..."
Little White quickly took a bottle of mineral water from the small refrigerator and handed it to Washington.
Washington grabbed the chilled bottle of mineral water, unscrewed the cap, and tilted his head back to gulp it down.
Little White stared at Washington's snow-white throat bobbing up and down, strands of clear water overflowing from her lips, running down her hot cheeks and down to her chest.
"Wow!" Washington finished the bottle of mineral water in one gulp, let out a long sigh, and exclaimed loudly as if reborn, "I'm back to life! It would be even better if I had a beer right now—"
"Washington, thanks for your hard work." Xiao Bai smiled as he took the empty bottle. "Drinking is not allowed near the training ground."
“I know, Admiral…” Washington shrugged, looked down at Little White, and suddenly smiled, “Hey! That’s interesting.”
"Ok?"
"The admiral just called me here. I originally thought that practicing with Admiral Nanxing would be quite boring, but I didn't expect it to be so enjoyable once I got started." Washington wiped the sweat from his face and said with satisfaction, his face full of unrestrained joy. "It's been a long time since I've practiced with someone so freely and without any worries."
"Washington is so content..." Little White looked at Washington with some surprise, her gaze sweeping towards the shore behind him.
Following closely behind Washington, Nanxing, who had been battling her for hours, finally arrived on the beach at this moment.
After so many hours of fighting, Nanxing was naturally exhausted and covered in sweat. She was panting heavily, her steps were unsteady, and large drops of glistening sweat streamed down her cheeks. Her admiral's uniform was completely soaked with sweat and seawater, and the fabric clung tightly to her body, easily revealing her young and voluptuous figure.
As soon as Xiaobai saw Nanxing's appearance, he immediately squatted down, quickly took out a bottle of drink, and ran towards her.
"Sister Nanxing, come on, have some water!"
Nanxing swayed as Xiaobai brought the water forward. Amidst her heavy breathing, she managed to nod, then reached out with trembling hands to pick up the drink and took a few sips.
After drinking water, Nanxing's breathing became more stable.
Nanxing put down the beverage bottle, took small sips of the sweet-smelling liquid, grinned at Xiaobai, and smiled silently.
Nanxing's expression showed that he was extremely tired, but at the same time, he felt extremely relaxed.
Seeing Nanxing's expression, Xiaobai swallowed back the "Are you okay?" that had just reached her lips.
"Sister Nanxing, did you have fun?" Xiaobai changed her address and asked.
“…Mm.” Nanxing nodded with a smile.
Nanxing's smile was unusually radiant, and the sweat and sunshine made him look exceptionally energetic.
Xiao Bai helped the burning hot Nanxing back to the mat. Nanxing swayed and sat down on the mat, panting heavily. Shenhai Chicheng, standing to the side, picked up a fan and smiled as she fanned Nanxing.
Nanxing's hair was stuck together by sweat, and even when Shenhai Chicheng increased his strength slightly, the hair remained tightly stuck to his body, unwilling to leave.
"Who won the last round of exercises?" Xiaobai looked at Nanxing, then turned to Washington beside him and asked.
"Didn't the Admiral check it just now?" Washington asked.
"Ah..." Xiaobai turned her head awkwardly, "I...I didn't notice..."
Xiao Bai was so engrossed in enjoying the warmth of Akagi's embrace that she was momentarily distracted, and before she knew it, the exercise between the two had inexplicably ended. She hadn't really paid attention to who had won the battle between Washington and Nanxing.
"It's a draw, a draw," Washington said with a smile and a shrug.
"Huh? A tie?" Xiaobai turned around in surprise and looked at Nanxing.
Nanxing sat on the mat with her head tilted back, letting Shenhai Chicheng fan her with cool air, looking completely exhausted.
Ok……
Although the result was a tie, judging from the condition of both players after the exercise, Nanxing was clearly on the verge of exhaustion, while Washington, although she also looked drenched in sweat and not exactly relaxed, was breathing steadily and in control, with her eyes still shining brightly, and should be able to continue for a very long time.
If they play for another few tens of minutes... the outcome should be decided by then, right?
“Yes,” Washington said with a smile, looking at the surprised look on Xiaobai’s face.
"Why is it a tie...?" Xiaobai asked curiously.
