Elder brother's garrison

"Oh, so Changchun is just embarrassed." The ship girls chuckled. "Really, at least let us see too."

"Um... next time... next time the naval base holds a swimsuit event, I... I'll wear one..." Changchun said, blushing.

"Oh dear, you're blushing. Changchun, you still need to work on your skin." The ship girls laughed even harder when they heard this. "There are so many people dressed up in strange clothes in our naval base. Running around in a swimsuit is just basic stuff. As long as you don't wear it outside the naval base, no one will find it strange."

"Um……"

Changchun responded softly, her face slightly flushed, and she cautiously glanced at Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai touched his lips thoughtfully, then exchanged a glance with Chang Chun.

Changchun immediately hugged the swimsuit in her arms tightly, lowered her head, and the blush on her face deepened.

"Changchun, you and the Admiral were just in the changing room... did you really just look at the swimsuits?" The other ship girls immediately sounded alarm bells when they saw the strange atmosphere between Xiaobai and Changchun, and were somewhat suspicious.

"That's definitely it!"

"Really? Don't do anything inappropriate in the locker room."

"No, no..."

"...You'd better not have one..." The ship girls stared at Changchun with a strange look, making Changchun feel ashamed for a moment.

……

In any case, the outfits that the four ship girls wanted have been bought.

After choosing the four beautiful outfits recommended by Akashi, Shiro and the ship girls didn't rush to leave immediately.

This time, Shiro came to Akashi Department Store mainly to choose some clothes that Kiart could wear every day. A white witch outfit alone would not meet Kiart's needs for life in the naval base in the future.

So Xiaobai directly took out her Admiral's Bank Card and indicated to Akashi to find some more clothes for Kiat that would be suitable for her to wear in various situations.

As the saying goes, money can make even the most stubborn stone grind.

As soon as Akashi saw Shiro take out money, her eyes lit up and she said she would leave the whole thing to her. Then she went on a shopping spree in the dressing room and grabbed dozens of outfits, including casual clothes, loungewear, pajamas, sportswear, and all sorts of other clothes, and slammed them all down in front of Kiat.

Shiro swiped her card for Akashi's clothes one by one, while Kiat and a group of ship girls busily packed Kiat's clothes into bags. Akashi stood aside, bowing to Shiro repeatedly, shouting with satisfaction and happiness, "Welcome, meow!" "So generous, Admiral, meow!" "Thank you, Admiral, meow!"

Akashi is still the same as always.

Her message was heartfelt, emphasizing emotional value and attentive service. However, despite Xiaobai buying so many clothes, Mingshi didn't mention a single word about "discounts" or offer Xiaobai a membership card or anything like that.

However, considering that all of Akashi's clothes were unique handmade products, and each one was a perfect fit and suited her taste, Shiro didn't make things difficult for Akashi.

As for some money... let Akashi earn it.

After all, the things Akashi sells at the naval base are really fine, except that they are "a little expensive".

—Except for those purple equipment boxes painted gold.

Chapter 3901 What a thoroughly enjoyable shopping experience!

The dozens of new outfits that Xiaobai picked out for Kiat were all exquisite and unique. Although the price of each piece of clothing was relatively in line with its excellent design, and its quality was comparable to, or even better than, the goods in high-end fashion stores in human cities, it is undeniable that none of these clothes were cheap products. Therefore, when all the prices of the clothes were added together, they eventually accumulated into a rather exaggerated number.

As Xiaobai enjoyed her shopping spree, the Ming Shi cashier kept sending out voice notifications of payment confirmations as she swiped her card.

"Ding! 3xxx yuan has been credited to your xxbao account!"

"Ding! Your WeChat account has received 2xxx yuan!"

"Ding! 9 yuan has been credited to your XX account!"

"Ding! 6xx yuan has been deposited into your account via WeChat!"

"Ding! 6xxx yuan has been deposited into your account via WeChat!"

"Ding! 2xxx yuan has been credited to your xxbao account!"

"..."

As Akashi listened to the endless stream of "payment notifications," his smile stretched from ear to ear.

According to Akashi, today was a day of making a fortune.

The phrase "no merchant is without guile"... is the most fitting description of Akashi right now.

Akashi only sacrificed the price of four outfits to obtain the "privilege" of selling Xiaobai's private photos. She even pleased Xiaobai greatly, killing two birds with one stone. With a happy wave of her hand, Xiaobai bought dozens of handmade outfits from the convenience store to give to Kiat.

Sure enough, no matter how big the discounts and profits the merchants offer, they can't possibly lose money.

Each of these convoluted little tricks has a profound meaning behind it, and someone as simple-minded as Xiaobai is no match for Akashi.

However, Xiaobai really doesn't care about Akashi's "little tricks".

In the end, it all comes down to that same thing.

Akashi's tactics can be considered a calculated strategy in a sense. She doesn't cheat or swindle, but rather uses meticulous and courteous service and excellent product quality to make Xiaobai willingly swipe his card to pay. Xiaobai knows these are all Akashi's little tricks, but who can blame him when Akashi's service is truly top-notch?

This is a case of "willing people take the bait."

After all, Shiro isn't short of money. Besides, Akashi is now one of our own ship girls. Akashi making money off Shiro is, in a sense, keeping the profits within the family.

After paying by card, Akashi warmly saw Shiro and his group off as they left the convenience store. She personally escorted them to the door and then stood there like a bright green lucky cat, waving her green sleeves at their departing figures.

"Welcome, Admiral!"

"Welcome back next time, meow!"

"Please visit often, Admiral!"

"Akashi will make even more new outfits that the Admiral will like, meow!"

The sounds of farewell lingered in the air for a long time.

As Xiaobai listened to the sounds around her, she walked away with the ship girls, and the Akashi convenience store behind her was gradually swallowed up by the end of the road and disappeared.

"How much did the commander buy clothes for at Akashi's place just now?"

Kiat, clutching the clothing packaging bag in his arms, looked curiously at Xiaobai.

Perhaps because she was too lazy to go back into the dressing room to change, or perhaps because among all the clothes that Shiro gave her, she liked this white witch outfit called "Witch's Luck Turning" the most, so after leaving Akashi's shop with the others, Kiat still wore this outfit without changing.

As Kiat walked, her two slender, fair legs moved continuously beneath her white skirt. The close-fitting fabric subtly outlined the curves of her body, making her appear delicate and supple.

"Hmm...it's not so bad, actually." Xiaobai glanced at the receipt and invoice that Akashi had given her, smiled, folded the invoice in her hand and put it into her ship equipment space, without showing it to Kiat. "It's not much money."

"It really isn't much money... This is the first time I've ever seen socks that can sell for over six hundred yuan."

Kiat listened to Xiaobai's words, looked down thoughtfully at the packaging bag in his arms, and said to Xiaobai.

Kiat had stuffed almost all of her dozens of outfits into her ship's equipment space. Unfortunately, the ship's equipment space on a destroyer is relatively small. Even after filling the space to the brim, Kiat still had to carry several bags of clothes by hand to move them.

"Well... after all, Akashi also said that the material is very good..." Shiro smiled and dodged the question, "She said that the texture is softer and can reduce the friction on the skin of the feet and such."

"Alright! Thank you, Commander!" Seeing that Xiaobai had said this much, Kiat didn't press further. After patting the bag of clothes in her arms, she smiled at Xiaobai, "The clothes the Commander bought for me this time will last me a long time! I'm going to show this outfit to Jilin and the others!"

"Hmm, it's good to take a look."

"After I show it to Kirin and the others, I'll wear it for the Commander to see every day!"

"Haha, that's even better."

"What color panties does the commander like to see?"

"...How did the topic suddenly veer to this point? I don't understand."

"Does the commander hate seeing my panties?"

"That's not true."

"So the commander just likes to see my panties!"

"Um... how should I answer this..."

"I understand! The commander is a person who cares about his image. Next time, I won't ask. I'll just lift my skirt and show the commander my panties! That way, the commander won't feel embarrassed!"

"Hey, wait a minute..."

Xiao Bai reached out to call out to Kiate, but Kiate had already said goodbye to himself and Changchun, Jinan and Anshan amidst a series of crisp laughs, and ran lightly towards the training field, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Kiat's departure was so decisive, it was as if he had made up his mind.

……

Xiaobai's hand hovered in mid-air as she watched Kiat's figure disappear into the distance at the end of the road leading to the training ground. She remained silent for a long time before quietly lowering her hand.

Xiaobai turned around and looked at the three ship girls behind her.

Changchun blushed, covered her mouth, and secretly looked at herself with a strange gaze.

Anshan crossed his arms and watched Xiaobai as if he were watching a show, a deep smile on his lips.

Jinan pouted angrily, her little fists gesturing wildly up and down in front of her.

"Admiral! Admiral, how could you only look at Kit's panties! You've never even looked at mine!" Jinan complained, looking aggrieved and angry. "I was here first, Admiral should have looked at mine first!"

"Jinan, let's not get bogged down in this mess..."

Xiao Bai quickly reached out and pressed down on Jinan's head, suppressing the riot in Jinan.

After calming Jinan down, Xiaobai looked up and exchanged glances with Anshan and Changchun.

"Um... Changchun, Anshan... um, actually I..."

"Admiral, you don't need to explain, we all understand."

"Um……"

"However, Kiat has only just been converted into a missile ship. Although she is no longer a child strictly speaking, she has been a destroyer for more than ten years. If the admiral wants to make a move against her now, it would be better to wait a while until the other older sisters in the naval base have fully accepted Kiat's new image and accepted that she has grown from a child into a girl who can freely fall in love... before making a move against her."

"Ah! Of course we still support the Admiral!"

"You guys don't understand at all!"

Xiao Bai's helpless voice rang out, startling several birds in the surrounding woods.

……

In any case, with the renovation of Anshan completed, the things that Xiaobai had to worry about during this period can be considered to have been largely accomplished.

After sending Anshan, Jinan, and Changchun back to their dormitories, Xiaobai returned to the admiral's office and briefly handled the day's naval affairs with Lexington.

The work at the naval base has been getting easier and easier lately. After finishing his work with ease, Xiaobai chatted with Lexington about the day's events in the admiral's office. The two chatted and laughed for the entire afternoon. Xiaobai also took the time to write two copies of today's updated "Kantai Collection Biography" and handed them to Renown and Counterattack.

As it was nearing the end of the workday, Xiaobai bid farewell to Lexington and left the admiral's office. First, she went to check out the missile range that the Deep Sea Taihou were in charge of.

More than a week has passed since the deep-sea crew took over the construction of the missile range.

For a typical construction team, a week might only be enough to complete the initial laying of the foundation. However, for a highly efficient and fast team like the Deep Sea Phoenix Construction Team, this time is more than enough for them to complete the entire project of a large building.

that's the truth.

Xiaobai went to the construction site of the missile test range and found that the construction was nearing completion. The deep-sea giants were wearing various safety helmets and carrying out final repairs on the site.

This was Xiaobai's first time visiting a missile range construction site, but by this time, the "construction site" had essentially become the outline of the missile range.

On the vast concrete ground, endless markers and launch sites stand side by side, and several equipment and resource warehouses have also been built behind them. Technical positions, launch sites, measurement and control facilities, and various support facilities have also been completed.

It's worth mentioning that, thanks to the existence of the Taiho Network, communication between the deep-sea Taihos doesn't rely on language. Therefore, when Xiaobai arrived near the construction site, she could only see the deep-sea Taihos carrying out their various tasks in an orderly manner. Each team had a clear division of labor and did not disturb each other. All the deep-sea Taihos were immersed in their own work tasks. Apart from the roar of machinery and the clanging of bricks and metal hitting the ground, there was no other sound on the entire construction site.

Xiaobai stood at a distance and watched for a while. She nodded, then silently looked away and left the construction area.

Chapter 3902 Such a refined interest

Judging from this construction progress... it's estimated that in another two or three days, the missile range's launch area will be completed.

Ok……

However, only the "launch area" has been completed.

As for the flight area and impact zone of the missile test range...

The two areas require a much larger area than the naval base itself, so it's impossible to build them inside the base. Therefore, we can only follow what Xiaobai and Lexington discussed before and use the sea outside the base as the navigation area and the bomb impact zone.

Ship girls' equipment is always flexible.

As for the venue... as long as it's not too small, it'll do.

Anyway, the sea outside the naval base has not been completely purified into a safe area. Although the probability of deep-sea creatures appearing there has been reduced to an absurd level thanks to the efforts of the naval base over the past ten years, and it is very safe 99% of the time, strictly speaking, it is still a dangerous area that ordinary people are not allowed to enter. Therefore, it is not a problem for a newbie to use it.

Before the giant phoenixes in the deep sea noticed him, Xiaobai quietly left the construction site.

Shortly after Xiaobai left the construction site, the deep-sea giants who were working hard on the site seemed to suddenly sense something and put down their tools and building materials.

One by one, the deep-sea giant phoenixes raised their heads, straightened their necks as if sensing something, and opened their eyes wide, searching for someone in all directions.
