"Ah, you can just call me Xia Xia," Shi Xia quickly replied.
“…Miss Xia.” Xiaobai’s smile became even more friendly. “Thank you for your hospitality today. The food at your residence was delicious, and the ship girls were very welcoming.”
"Of course, of course." Shi Xia nodded quickly, smiling apologetically at Xiao Bai. "Actually, I should be thanking you two. The deep-sea reaction on the beach today happened so suddenly that we weren't prepared at all. If you two hadn't been there, the human tourists on the shore would probably have been in grave danger by the time our naval base arrived... If something like that had happened, I think headquarters would have investigated us... So whether it's because of this or something else, you two have done our naval base a great favor."
Shi Xia looked grateful for having escaped a disaster, her pitiful appearance evoking pity.
Xiao Bai turned her head to the side and scratched her cheek sheepishly.
"Miss Xia, you've been with us all day. Is your work alright?" Xiaobai asked.
"It's alright, we don't have much work to do at the naval base."
Shi Xia said with a silly grin.
Shi Xia's statement is true: the smaller the naval base and the more remote its location, the less work is required.
For a small garrison like Shi Xia's, there really isn't much work to do at the end of the day.
"Oh..." Xiaobai nodded, looking at Shi Xia's silly smile, and asked, "Where are you on the main storyline, Miss Xia?"
"Chapter Two..."
"Stuck on a level?"
"Huh? Ah... um..." Shi Xia scratched her head and nodded shyly, "Yeah..."
"I see." Xiaobai said with a smile, "It's the 2-4 level, right? There's a really tough ditch over there, and you usually need an aircraft carrier ship girl to lead the way to get through it smoothly."
“Yeah…but our naval base doesn’t have any aircraft carrier ship girls…” Shi Xia scratched her head sheepishly, “I’m just unlucky…I just can’t build any aircraft carrier ship girls.”
"It's okay, you can actually get through that ditch by just leveling up your characters," Xiaobai said with a smile. "Although many people know that you need an aircraft carrier ship girl to lead the way in that sea area, you can actually get through it by relying on your high target acquisition ability as long as your team's target acquisition value is high enough."
"Huh? Is that so?!" Shi Xia exclaimed in surprise.
“Yes, we should improve the ship equipment level and bring some ship girls with strong target acquisition capabilities into the team.” Xiaobai said to Shixia, “Although the sea trench will still be unidentifiable, as long as you can detect the deep-sea gathering point, you can still walk out of the sea trench by moving towards the deep-sea gathering point.”
"There's such a way!" Shi Xia's eyes were filled with surprise. "I...I had no idea!"
"Now you know," Xiaobai said with a smile. "I just saw your ship girls, and they seem pretty good. With a little more practice, they should be able to successfully navigate through sea areas 2-4."
"Admiral Lu Lin, you...you're amazing! I...I thank you!" Shi Xia said somewhat flusteredly, and quickly bowed to Xiao Bai.
Shi Xia thought to herself, "As expected of a high-ranking admiral, the 2-4 kill stage has been blocking her naval base for so long. However, the construction of the aircraft carrier ship girl is still far away, and the hope of passing the 2-4 trench is slim. She thought she would have to spend several years in this 2-4 sea area, but she didn't expect that the high-ranking admiral could find a way out for her with just one sentence!"
so amazing.
so amazing!
Shi Xia was deeply moved.
“Miss Shi Xia, I also have some thoughts on the matter of aircraft carrier ship girls.” After thinking for a while, Xiao Bai said to Shi Xia, “If you really want to build aircraft carrier ship girls and don’t want to build other ship girls, I have a rather special construction formula that can help you filter out some battleship drops as much as possible and increase the drop rate of aircraft carrier ship girls.”
"There's such a formula?!"
"Yes, and I just discovered that there's still room for improvement in the equipment and daily training of the ship girls in your naval base..." Xiaobai said to Shixia, speaking as if they were having a chat, "For example, your battleships could..."
Shi Xia listened blankly to Xiao Bai's words.
A few seconds passed.
Shi Xia was suddenly shocked.
Ah!
Could it be that!
Is this Admiral Lu Lin imparting his experience as a high-ranking admiral?
Upon thinking of this, Shi Xia hurriedly rubbed her bottom and took out a notebook and pen from behind her, meticulously writing down Xiao Bai's words in the notebook.
Shi Xia doesn't have much experience as an admiral and is still a novice. Her understanding of the profession is still superficial. However, at this stage, the ship girl equipment schemes, ship girl development routes and priorities, and the clearing configurations for sea areas that she talks about are all things that Shi Xia has never heard of before!
These things aren't taught in textbooks!
Shi Xia suppressed her excitement and tried her best to keep her hand from trembling as she copied Xiao Bai's words into her notebook, one by one.
What Admiral Lu Lin just said... even a novice admiral like Shi Xia understands very well that it's all solid, hard-hitting information!
Admiral Lu Lin definitely brought up this topic on purpose because she felt a connection with him!
Write this down; it will benefit you for a lifetime!
As Shi Xia kept writing, her eyes welled up with tears.
My goodness, how could I be so lucky to be personally taught by such a high-ranking admiral from Chapter Six!
Cried!
Chapter 3349 A Terrible Day
Shi Xia thought today would be a terrible day.
Initially, when Shixia Naval Base received news that local human tourists had once again secretly entered the purified sea area and encountered a deep-sea event with an extremely low probability, Shixia felt dizzy and thought her life was over.
Fragile humans encountering the deep sea... Is there any other possibility besides "ga"?
It was a murder.
It's a murder!
A casualty count of over a hundred is a major accident, and it could potentially lead to the dismissal of the city's leadership.
At that time, Admiral Shi Xia thought that he was finally going to have his admiral's license revoked and be brought to a military court along with the naval base to be tried for dereliction of duty, and to be condemned by people all over the world.
At that time, Admiral Shi Xia had even thought about where he would be reincarnated in his next life.
It's a pity for this family of ship girls who suffered and starved with him. He was never able to give these girls a better life until the very end, and their days are coming to an end.
But things took an unexpected turn for the better.
First, before the deep-sea creatures that appeared in the area could even carve up human tourists, they were eliminated by two passing admirals who bravely stepped in to help.
Then the human tourists who encountered this sudden incident also received their due but not excessive retribution. After this incident, it is believed that they will not dare to sneak into that beach to seek death for a short period of time.
Last but not least, what surprised and delighted Admiral Shi Xia the most was that these two admirals who stepped in to help those in need had even reached the sixth chapter as high-ranking admirals!
Although he had to pay for the food and lodging of more than a hundred people, making the already tight-fisted life of Shixia Garrison even more precarious, it seemed that the sacrifice was worthwhile!
Because this high-ranking admiral named Lu Lin was intentionally or unintentionally imparting his experience as a high-ranking admiral to him!
Oh my god——
God knows just how important this is to a new admiral!
The most common mistake a new admiral makes is taking detours. Take Admiral Shi Xia herself as an example. In her short few years of admiral experience, she has made countless mistakes, wasted countless resources, and missed countless opportunities. But if a senior admiral with rich experience were to teach her and guide her, how many detours, resources, and time could Admiral Shi Xia avoid in the future!
Admiral Shi Xia felt as if his life had suddenly turned from hell to heaven.
This is a timely help!
Admiral Shi Xia listened attentively to Xiao Bai's explanation, not daring to miss a single word, and only felt a little relieved after writing down everything Xiao Bai said in her notebook.
Xiao Bai seemed to sense Shi Xia's nervous excitement. She smiled as she looked at the new admiral, who was sweating profusely as he recorded her words, and then deliberately slowed down her speaking speed.
"And then there's the issue of the priority for establishing naval base infrastructure..."
"The importance of team pacing..."
"Speed is really a very important factor..."
"You'll need air superiority techniques in the future too..."
Xiao Bai talked on and on.
Shi Xia nodded as she took careful notes.
Nanxing silently watched the two people from the side, and a strange balance was maintained among the three of them.
A small part of what Xiaobai said to Admiral Shixia was based on her understanding after serving as admiral for more than two years.
Here I'm going to say something that's a bit counterintuitive.
Xiao Bai has been an admiral for about two and a half years.
Admiral Shi Xia is currently in her early twenties. According to her ship girl, Admiral Shi Xia graduated from the Naval Academy only two years ago.
So if we analyze it from this point of view...
In fact, Xiaobai's time as admiral may not have been much longer than Shixia's.
They might even have been in the same year.
But having said that.
After all, Xiaobai was directly appointed to one of the top ten naval bases. Unlike Admiral Shixia, who started from scratch, Xiaobai's starting point as an admiral was far higher than that of Admiral Shixia. Therefore, his vision and perspective were much better than Shixia's.
Furthermore, most of Xiaobai's remaining remarks were directly copied from the "Admiral Crash Course Manual" left by his older brother, as if he were standing on the shoulders of giants and pointing fingers. Even if Xiaobai's online time as an admiral may not be much longer than Shixia's, he should be more than capable of teaching a new admiral like Shixia.
Xiao Bai kept talking and reciting the contents of "The Admiral's Quick Training Manual".
The "Quick Guide to Becoming an Admiral" left by Brother Xiaobai contains a wide range of information, which cannot be fully explained in a short time by words alone.
As Xiaobai watched Shixia's hand copying, it began to tremble slightly, and the knuckles of her fingers started to turn blue and white. She gradually felt that the time was almost up, so she understood and closed her mouth.
Shi Xia had just finished copying the last sentence and was feeling her hand go numb and about to lose all feeling when she suddenly realized that Xiao Bai had closed her mouth. She quickly looked up and stared blankly at Xiao Bai.
"Admiral Lu...?"
"That's all for now," Xiaobai said with a smile to Admiral Shixia. "What I just said were just some of my personal opinions, and I hope they will be of some help to you."
"Ah! Thank you, thank you Admiral Lu Lin!" Shi Xia's eyes widened, and she quickly closed the notebook, hugging it tightly to her chest. She was so excited that tears were about to stream down her face as she looked at Xiao Bai. "I, I will remember what you just said for the rest of my life!"
Only the new admiral knows just how great a favor Xiaobai had done to him.
This is a level of help that directly points out the bright path on a dark and chaotic road!
Admiral Lu Lin is the guiding light for Admiral Shi Xia!
At this moment, Admiral Shi Xia felt nothing but gratitude towards Xiao Bai.
Seeing that Admiral Shi Xia was getting more and more excited, Xiao Bai smiled and waved his hand.
"Admiral Shi Xia, you don't need to be so polite. We're all in the same profession. Isn't it normal for colleagues to help each other?" Xiao Bai said, then suddenly looked behind him as if he remembered something. "Oh right, Super Yamato, come quick!"
Little White called out to those behind him.
Behind the group, Super Big, wearing a one-piece racing swimsuit but with an impressive body curve, heard Xiao Bai's voice and quickly walked up.
"Admiral, were you looking for me?"
"Hmm, after sinking the deep-sea heavy cruiser in the sea just now, the deep-sea metal we got from it is still on you, right?" Xiaobai asked.
“Yes, yes…” Chao Da nodded subconsciously. She reached out and pulled open her racing swimsuit, extending her slender wrist into her breasts. Then she pulled out a palm-sized piece of deep-sea metal. “Is this what the Admiral wants?”
Since it is a deep-sea creature, even though the amount of space it uses is very small, it still reveals some fluctuations of deep-sea life.
Therefore, whenever Xiaobai asks her to hold something, Chaoda will keep it by her side for a while until she is sure that Xiaobai will not need it for a while before putting it into her ship equipment space.
Xiao Bai stretched out his hands and took the super-sized deep-sea metal that was handed to him.
The oversized, deep-sea metal object was handed to me; it felt cool and heavy, and I could almost smell a faint shampoo scent on its surface.
Xiao Bai subconsciously wiped the surface of the deep-sea metal, breathed on it, and then handed it to the dumbfounded Admiral Shi Xia.
“Miss Xia, this piece of deep-sea metal is the spoils we obtained from the deep-sea creature we just defeated.” Xiao Bai said to Admiral Shi Xia with a smile, “This deep-sea creature was an enemy that appeared on your side, so the spoils are naturally yours to keep.”
"Huh? Eh? This is such a big piece? My...mine?"
Shi Xia stared blankly at the deep-sea metal that Xiao Bai handed her, her eyes wide with disbelief.
The piece of deep-sea metal in Xiaobai's hand is a whole size larger than any other deep-sea metal Shixia has ever seen before. Although size does not directly reflect the quality of deep-sea metal, it is still clear how rare this piece of deep-sea metal is!
This thing is in the second chapter; it must be a piece of deep-sea metal of elite boss level!
Thinking of this, Shi Xia subconsciously looked at Chao Dahe's chest.
Wow……
Such a large piece of metal, with such sharp edges, and this ship girl just stuffed it directly into her chest...
Doesn't she find it uncomfortable?
Her figure is incredibly well-endowed.
Shi Xia's thoughts began to wander wildly, but soon she realized something she had to react to.
Shi Xia quickly came to her senses. She swallowed hard at the deep-sea metal in Xiao Bai's hand, then hurriedly waved her hand.
