Veneto looked toward the door.

"Rome, where is the admiral? Why didn't he come in with you?"

“The admiral?” Rome sat up. “The admiral just told me to come in while she went to make a phone call.”

"Telephone?"

At this moment, at the entrance of the hotel.

Holding his phone, Xiaobai gazed at the night sky, quietly waiting.

With a click of the notification sound, Xiaobai held the phone to her face.

"Hello? Is this Lexington?"

Chapter 297 World's Number One Action

The next day, as the rising sun illuminated the first street, preparing to welcome the first diligent admiral to step out of his home, it discovered that this street, which should have been bare in the past, was now filled with people spreading the news.

The admirals hurried about the streets, greeting everyone they met, much like Western journalists eager to share their latest news.

"Hey, did you know?"

"Please, Li, stop talking. I've heard it seven times today. I don't want to hear it anymore..."

"Someone's going to be doing the first chapter's exercise!"

"Stop it! (Trembling) I'm really going to throw up if you keep going!"

For these admirals who live a monotonous life like high school students, going to war, chatting, and sleeping every day, a fresh and interesting piece of news is enough to be spread like a legend.

"Huh? An exercise?" A commander who had just stepped out heard the crowd around him discussing this and couldn't help but cast a strange look at them.

His seemingly clueless expression drew the attention of the surrounding admirals.

In just a moment, he was surrounded by the other admirals.

"Hey, hey, it's my turn! It's my turn!" one of the admirals said to the others as he lowered his hand.

"Ahem." The admiral cleared his throat and said to the admiral who had just come out, "Last night, when the big shots of the fourth node were having a gathering, some people started arguing. Two admirals have decided to hold an exercise in three days."

"Fuck."

The admiral's reaction pleased the other admirals around him.

After all, the exercise in the first sea area is a major event, and it is said that no one in the entire first sea area has done this for more than a year.

The two admirals are going to duel in front of hundreds of other people. If they win, that's fine, but how much face will the loser lose?

Moreover, everyone is well aware of the significance of these exercises; they are used to adjudicate disputes.

If you lose, you lose completely, and there will be no chance of recovery for a while.

"Who is it?" the admiral asked.

Do you know Ian Isaac?

"Ah, I know you. Weren't you recently expelled from the Admiral's Guild?"

"it's him."

"Oh, what about the other one? It can't be that little princess, can it?"

"No, the person he was practicing with was Nia."

"Fuck."

The admiral's reaction once again satisfied the people in front of him.

And so, with the admirals who had nothing better to do working diligently, the news that Nia and Ian were going to have an exercise spread like wildfire throughout the entire First Sea Area in a short period of time.

Everyone knows it.

Including our dear Mr. Barbatos.

Barbatos looked at the documents in his hand with a worried expression.

He's been very busy these past few days. Something has changed at the fourth node, and the people sent down from headquarters have already set off. There are still a lot of things to deal with here. At this moment, several of Mr. Barbatos's landlines are ringing.

So these admirals must have nothing better to do, because they actually put on a naval exercise.

Naval exercises require a venue, and even the venue for the first node is not easy to prepare.

Even though Barbatos was a polite English gentleman, he was about to curse at these clueless admirals.

Why don't you guys go fight the Abyss Sea if you're so free? Aren't you admirals? Do you really enjoy fighting to the death?

Don't you feel any sense of urgency that the fourth sea area has been sealed off? Please get to work quickly, otherwise even if you meet last month's quota, you'll still fail this month's deep-sea metal quota!

Barbatos really wanted to throw the documents in his hand into the trash can and curse at the person in front of him.

Unfortunately, Mr. Barbatos was incapable of doing such a thing.

While the main reason was that Mr. Barbatos was an excellent gentleman, there was also a small reason: the admiral who applied for the exercise had Nia's name on his name.

Nia, oh Nia.

That was one of Admiral Lu Lin's concubines.

He is also the only outstanding employee in the Admiral's Guild who maintains paid leave under Mr. Barbatos's frugal leadership.

Mr. Barbatos looked up at Xie Yun, who was standing in front of him.

"My dear Miss Xie Yun, are you sure this information is reliable?"

"Yes." Xie Yun nodded.

Barbatos slumped in the chair like a deflated basketball.

"Mr. Ba, you mean..."

“Alright,” Mr. Barbatos nodded. “As long as she’s happy.”

Mr. Barbatos has, in a sense, resigned himself to his fate.

Barbatos placed the document on his left, intending to deal with it during his lunch break: "Then go back if there's nothing else."

Xie Yun didn't leave; instead, she wore a troubled smile.

Xie Yun is a very principled receptionist. She is beautiful, has a good temperament, is proactive, and has good judgment. Although she may bow to evil forces, she does not conform to worldly ways.

When a receptionist acts this way, most people would assume she's planning something underhanded, but Barbatos knew very well that Xie Yun's behavior most likely stemmed from some unspeakable secret.

"What's wrong?" Barbatos asked.

“Mr. Ba… um, Miss Lu hasn’t left yet.”

"Huh?" Barbatos was taken aback.

He instinctively sensed a dangerous atmosphere.

"What is that little devil going to do?"

"Yes, Miss Lu said she wants to see you," Xie Yun said to Barbatos with a somewhat embarrassed smile.

"what!?"

"Miss Lu is waiting for you at the entrance of the Admiral's Guild," Xie Yun said.

Barbatos stared at Xie Yun in astonishment.

Mr. Barbatos instinctively felt that this little devil looking for him was definitely not a good thing.

But he really didn't dare not go.

Mr. Barbatos glanced at the mountain of documents piled high on the table and sighed sadly.

There's nothing I can do; they're my biggest asset.

Mr. Barbatos then straightened his collar and followed Xie Yun out of the office, heading towards the entrance of the Admiral's Guild.

At the entrance of the Admiral's Guild, Xiaobai and Nia were standing with a group of ship girls, gazing into the distance as if waiting for someone.

"Oh, my dear Miss Lu! May I ask what business you have with Barbatos?" Barbatos saw Xiaobai's gazing figure from afar, and to express his enthusiasm, he called out loudly as he approached Xiaobai.

Xiaobai and Nia heard Barbatos's voice and turned around.

"Good morning, Mr. Barbatos." Xiao Bai's eyes were different today.

Previously, Xiaobai's eyes were calm, gentle, and undisturbed, but today, her eyes were shining brightly, as if she had been idle for a long time and had finally found a target.

Little White looked at Barbatos approaching him and asked Mr. Barbatos a question.

"Mr. Barbatos, may I purchase all the deep-sea metals of the Admiral's Guild?"

Mr. Barbatos's smile froze.

Mr. Barbatos suddenly felt his body become extremely heavy.

Mr. Barbatos even felt his head spinning.

Then Mr. Barbatos fell to the ground with a thud.

Barbatos, who had fallen to the ground, was still reeling from Little White's words.

This little brat wants to buy all the deep-sea metals from the Admiral's Guild?

It is necessary to explain here that the Admiral Guild has a considerable amount of deep-sea metal inventory. For example, last month, with Xiaobai's help, the thousand deep-sea metals that were finally collected were packed up and are now in the inventory warehouse, ready to be sent to headquarters.

Xiaobai means he wants those thousand pieces of deep-sea metal?

This is tantamount to pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth.

The Admiral's Guild uses merit points to collect deep-sea metals. It does not have the option to resell the collected deep-sea metals, and these metals are not for hoarding but are to be distributed to headquarters. As mentioned before, if the quota is insufficient, it will be a rather cruel situation for the Admiral's Guild in Chapter One.

Barbatos's fall startled those around him, and his attendants quickly helped him up from the ground.

Barbatos was panting heavily from the fall, and his face turned pale with fright.

"Oh, Mr. Barbatos, are you alright?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing, thank you for your concern, Miss Lu..." Barbatos replied, panting. Then he swallowed hard and cautiously looked at Xiaobai, "Um, Miss Lu, what you just said..."

"Um, Mr. Barbatos, could you sell us the deep-sea metal?" Xiaobai asked with a smile.

Xiao Bai smiled gently and beautifully, and looked very innocent.

But when Barbatos looked at Little White's smile, he felt a chill run from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

Yes, getting deep-sea metal from the Admiral's Guild is like pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth.

But this little ancestor in front of me is a dragon.

A giant dragon breathing fire wanted to pull out a tiger cub's teeth, and which tiger dared to say no?

"Um, can I ask why?" Barbatos asked with a look of despair.

"Oh, this is because we're building a big structure for Nia today." Xiaobai smiled.

"Should we finish building all the deep-sea metal?" Barbatos asked.

"Yes, all done."

Xiao Bai nodded gently, as if he were talking about something insignificant.

Nia was actually quite lucky; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to get into Admiral University, create Cleveland, and then meet Little White.

The fact that the last construction failed more than thirty times is actually normal, after all, construction is an act of creating life.

A vibrant life is not so easily created.

A normal admiral would eventually be able to build something after several hundred construction attempts.

Therefore, Xiaobai brought Nia to the Admiral's Guild today with the idea that she would definitely get the item.

Thirty shots are too few.

Let's set a small goal this time: let's build a thousand rounds first.

Chapter 298 The woman who symbolizes SSR is back!

Seeing how nonchalant Xiaobai was, Barbatos's head began to spin again.

This isn't ten deep-sea metals, nor twenty or thirty, but a thousand!

You're probably the only one in the whole world who would dare to do something like this.

"Mr. Barbatos, do you know if the Admiral's Guild still has any deep-sea metal?" Xiaobai asked curiously.
