"Xiaobai, Xiaobai!"
Suddenly, as if she had discovered a treasure, Ella grabbed Xiaobai's hand and excitedly pointed out the window, saying, "Over there! That admiral is so cool, he actually came by bicycle!"
Led by Ella, Xiaobai turned his head and saw two familiar figures getting off a bicycle outside the window.
Xiao Bai was initially surprised, then smiled knowingly.
"Ah...it's them."
"Xiaobai, do you know them?"
"Hmm...he bought me coffee, didn't he..."
"Huh? Are they that close?!" Ella's gaze kept shifting between the male admiral and the little white dog in front of her, her expression full of surprise.
"I just happened to get a free cup of coffee."
"Oh... since we know each other, should we go say hello?"
"Hmm...maybe we shouldn't." Xiaobai tugged at Ella's arm, making her sit down next to him. "That person has something very important to do here. We...we'd better not cause any trouble."
"oh oh……"
The male admiral entered the fortress without any hindrance.
Upon arriving in the hall, Blaine, with a hint of timid curiosity and a nod of approval from his admiral, approached a group of destroyers gathered in the hall.
Because there is no conflict of interest, the simple circle of ship girls is always easier to integrate into than that of humans. When a new ship girl approached, the group of ship girls enthusiastically offered her cake and drinks and pulled Blaine to their side.
Seeing that Blaine was welcomed by the ship girls, the male admiral breathed a sigh of relief and secretly cheered himself on.
Next, it was his turn.
The male admiral glanced at the two admirals closest to him, composed himself, and then walked towards them: "Hello..."
"Speaking of which, you were really grinding through Chapter 7 last month. I saw your ship girl was ranked quite high on the sinking list. What's up? Are you short on cash lately?"
"Stop talking. I've been producing too many ships every day lately, and I'm in a hurry to level up my ship girls. After all, you know how tiring it is to be a lucky player."
"Hahaha, that's hilarious. You probably failed in your big construction project again and had to swallow your pride."
"Hey, you... I, I only built a little over a hundred... a little over a hundred... can our little over a hundred be called a big build... didn't you build over five hundred before..."
Before the male admiral could finish his greeting, the smile on his face froze completely after hearing a conversation.
He was frightened by the content of the conversation.
not good.
He's a big shot.
The kind that preys on newbies.
The male admiral felt a sense of helplessness and could only silently avoid the two admirals in front of him, quickly walking towards the three admirals on the other side.
He composed himself and coughed lightly: "You..."
"You haven't been going to any battles lately? I heard you've been saving up resources?"
"Yeah, it's missing a bucket, so it ran for a while."
How many buckets have you had?
"Not much, maybe seven or eight hundred."
"As expected of you, I'm almost at five thousand."
"Wow, you're the best!"
"Hahahahahahahahahaha."
The male admiral looked embarrassed as he watched the admirals chatting in front of him, his face turning as red as an eggplant.
day.
Five thousand...
I've been frantically collecting quick-repair devices, and I only have a little over a hundred left...
Can't you guys talk about something normal...?
How can I get a word in edgewise like this...?
The male admiral looked awkwardly at the three admirals who couldn't stop talking about him, and after thinking for a long time, he dejectedly looked for a new target.
However, just as he had anticipated, the topics of conversation with the next few targets remained quite unapproachable.
Those admirals were either discussing strategies for conquering high-level sea areas, frequently mentioning how many battleship girls and aircraft carrier girls they had assembled into incredibly powerful setups, or they were intentionally or unintentionally showing off their resources and training levels during conversations, with everyone calling each other "pro" and "666," leaving him no chance to get a word in edgewise.
So this is the big boss of the high seas...?
The male admiral looked bitterly at the admirals around him, each with their own circles, as if excluding him. A sense of alienation from a different dimension immediately filled the male admiral's heart with helplessness and despair.
—As expected, these admirals are all top-tier figures in the world. For someone like me, a nobody, to try and curry favor with them is simply not going to be easy…
How could they possibly allow themselves to join their circle...?
The male admiral suddenly felt that he was so out of place being all alone in this hall.
Can I really stay here?
What if these admirals discover they're only from Chapter Five...?
How would they treat themselves?
They'll kick them out...
They'll kick me and Blaine out together...
Think of this.
Large drops of cold sweat began to seep from his back, and the male admiral's hands and feet suddenly began to tremble uncontrollably.
He was scared.
"Hey? What's wrong?" A few admirals who were talking nearby suddenly noticed the male admiral. They glanced at his trembling limbs with some concern, then walked over to him: "Are you feeling unwell? Do you need help? Where are your ship girls?"
The male admiral looked up in a flustered manner at the admirals walking towards him.
"Snapped!!!"
Suddenly, a slap landed hard on the male admiral's back, which was completely soaked with sweat.
The male admiral felt a sharp pain in his back, and then felt an arm suddenly reach out from behind him and hook tightly around his neck.
"Haha, sorry, sorry, my friend has a bit of a fever, a cold, and a runny nose. A good beating will fix it." A clear male voice came from behind the bewildered male admiral.
The admirals approaching from the front paused for a moment after seeing the person behind the male admiral, and then nodded.
"Oh, I see. Okay then. You can call us if you're not feeling well." The admirals exchanged glances, smiled politely at the male admirals and the people behind them, and left.
The arm that was wrapped around the male admiral's neck loosened.
The male admiral turned his head and saw that there was another male admiral he didn't recognize standing next to him.
"Oh." The newly appeared admiral smiled at him.
"……Hello."
"You're sweating, aren't you, little brother?"
"..."
"Come on, squat down and talk." The newly appeared admiral pulled the male admiral to an inconspicuous wall, then squatted down and grinned at him.
The male admiral stood there somewhat bewildered for a moment, then slowly squatted down on the ground.
For some reason, when the male admiral squatted down and looked at the young man next to him who was chuckling, his sense of panic suddenly subsided by more than half.
Seeing that the male admiral's expression had improved, the male admiral smiled at him.
"Are you feeling much better?"
"……Thanks."
"You're not the admiral from Chapter Seven, are you?"
"……Um."
"No wonder, these are all big shots who have been in Chapter 7 for a long time. Each of them is a super admiral who can make a big splash in half of the admiral world. They can wipe out your whole family with just a word. You, an ordinary admiral, dare to talk to them? You're pretty brave."
"..." The male admiral gave a bitter smile.
"Hehehe, actually, I'm pretty much the same as you. I'm a new admiral who just entered Chapter 7. I got lucky and am handsome, so I got an invitation. I was quite cocky for the first couple of days, but I was too pretentious and got scolded by that pretty waitress at the door when I went to ask for a chair. Then I quieted down, hehehe... But I also realized that I really can't fit into this group of big shots. I was just feeling down at the banquet and no one was talking to me when I saw you." The newly appeared admiral scratched his head. "You're pretty much the same as me, right? How about we get to know each other?"
"...I...I'm not Chapter Seven..."
"sixth?"
“…I am the admiral killed by Ka in Chapter Five…I…”
"Well, we're the same, both lazy bums." The newly appeared admiral smiled and extended his hand to the male admiral. "Look at me, I've been single all this time at this banquet, it's pretty awkward. Since we've met here, it must be fate. Brother, how about we get to know each other? Oh right, didn't you just say you were stuck on the kill streak? Oh, let me tell you, I was stuck on it for a long time back then too. The flagship in 5-5 is a real beast. Oh, I can't take it anymore, just thinking about it makes me angry. I have to beat her up. Call me next time you're doing 5-5, let's team up."
"..." The male admiral stared blankly at the new admiral squatting beside him, chattering incessantly, for a long time.
Then, tears streamed down my face.
"Holy crap, why are you suddenly crying???"
"Waaaaah—you motherfucker, are you an angel?!"
The male admiral cried as he tightly embraced the man in front of him, weeping with joy.
My product is due at the end of the month! It's about to expire! I need a knife! *sobs*
Chapter 952 gets to the point!
In Xiaobai's view, the newly arrived male admiral grabbed the man next to him, and the two of them pushed and shoved each other until they finally fell to the ground with a thud, drowned out by the conversation of the admirals around them who hadn't noticed them.
Xiao Bai withdrew her gaze.
Ella was also staring at Xiaobai with curiosity, looking like she didn't understand what had happened between the two men.
"That admiral has been stuck on the kill in Chapter 5 for a long time. He came here hoping to find someone who can help him," Xiaobai explained to Ella beside him.
“Oh, is that so?” Ella nodded, then glanced at the two men in the corner.
"It seems like I've made some really good friends."
"Yes, it's really not easy."
Ella and Xiaobai smiled at each other.
It seems that even Ella and Xiaobai are well aware of the difficulty a low-level admiral would face in finding a close friend in this place.
For a low-level admiral, easily integrating into the circle of top admirals is an extremely difficult task.
Although the admirals of low-sea and high-sea areas hold the same position, their perspectives, backgrounds, experiences, and views on things are completely different due to the environments they are in.
What seems perfectly normal to top-tier admirals might be as unbelievable as the Cthulhu Mythos to ordinary admirals.
Therefore, even if a high-ranking admiral suddenly has the idea to deliberately befriend a low-ranking admiral, after just a few words, both sides will clearly realize the difference in their worldviews. Unable to convince the other to understand them, they will part on bad terms and the matter will end without a resolution.
This is the difference in perspective.
Just now, one of the male admirals' targets, a "shocking" admiral, said that his naval base now has a stockpile of five thousand rapid repair devices.
Although the admiral had a smug look on his face, and the admirals around him were showering him with praise like "666," in reality, five thousand rapid repair devices wouldn't even be enough for one person from Rome to withstand Spartan military training in Veneto for several months in a newbie garrison.
In other words, Xiaobai is unable to participate normally in their conversation.
So tragic.
Even among top-tier admirals, differences in perspective still exist.
In summary.
Although the male admiral did suffer many setbacks in his attempt to integrate with the top players, by a twist of fate, he still met another admiral who had also been persecuted by a waitress. In their equally lonely situation, they broke through the barrier between top-tier admirals and ordinary admirals and successfully forged a deep friendship.
have to say.
Fate, amazing.
A week ago, when the waitress used her Heavenly Punishment Flying Kick to send the male admiral flying in front of Xiaobai, she probably never imagined that this man would end up with another admiral she had yelled at at the fortress gate a week later.
Xiao Bai really likes this kind of plot where good people will eventually be rewarded.
Just then, a series of crisp footsteps rang out from not far away.
