Elder brother's garrison

"Ah... well..." Xiao Bai scratched his head, smiled sheepishly at Luo Lian, and then nodded, "Mm..."

"Is it related to the special ship girls for the Holy Day?"

"You guessed that too?"

“If you’ve run into some enemies, you probably won’t need my help,” Luo Lian said, wiping her nose.

"That's amazing... that's how it is." Xiaobai nodded with admiration, then said to Luo Lian, "One of the three special ship girls of the Holy Construction Day, the construction device for the research ship girl has appeared on the sea, but to open that construction device, you need to unlock the technology lock on it."

"I see." Luo Lian nodded in understanding. "It seems that the technological lock is not something that can be solved by resources or force."

"Yes," Xiaobai nodded with a sigh.

Of the three ship girls available on Holy Day, the research ship girl is the one that leaves Xiaobai completely helpless. After all, you can build ship girls by simply piling on resources, and you can defeat salvaged ship girls by force, but this research ship girl is the only one that requires solving a math problem... Xiaobai says he is truly at a complete loss, and it's the kind of helplessness where he doesn't even know where to direct his efforts.

When people are pushed to their limits, they'll do anything, except solve math problems.

That's how math problems are; if you don't know how, you just don't know how, and there's no way to cheat.

"I understand." Luo Lian put down the tissue in her hand and nodded to Xiao Bai. "Since it's related to technology, I'm also a little interested. Let's go to Chapter Eight now."

"Thank you, Lianlian!" Xiaobai said, touched.

“You’re welcome. It’s a good opportunity for me to visit Chapter Eight.” Luo Lian smiled. “However, I can’t guarantee that I can solve the puzzle on the technological lock. If I disappoint you, please don’t blame me.”

"No way, I don't necessarily need to get the research ship girls. Lianlian, just think of it as a trip to Chapter 8, relax!" Xiaobai leaned forward, smiling as she took Luo Lian's arm. "I'll be using your name in Chapter 8 anyway, so having you by my side will make me feel more at ease, right?"

Xiao Bai and Luo Lian chatted and laughed, and settled the matter in just a few words.

Des Moines, standing to the side, was completely stunned.

Luo Lian changed her clothes at home, and then Xiao Bai and the other two left home and returned to the Admiral's Guild.

When Xiaobai and the other two returned to the top floor of the Admiral's Guild and entered Luo Lian's laboratory, they immediately noticed a silver wardrobe, several square meters in size, that had appeared not far from Luo Lian's desk.

Beside the silver wardrobe, Helena was holding a feather duster, carefully sweeping the dust off the wardrobe.

"Hmm? Admiral Lu Lin, and Admiral Luo Lian and Des Moines? You're back so soon?" Helena heard the footsteps of Xiao Bai and the other two. She lowered her hand that was holding the feather duster and looked towards Xiao Bai with a smile.

"Helena, was there a wardrobe here before?" Xiaobai asked Helena curiously.

"Of course not, these were added at the last minute," Helena explained with a smile. "Admiral Lu Lin, do you remember those silver tiles you left me before you left?"

"...Uh, I remember."

“You said those tiles can absorb deep-sea fluctuations, they’re made of a very powerful special metal, and you asked me to help renovate the room, right?” Helena said, opening the sliding doors of the wardrobe on both sides to show Xiaobai the inside. “At first, I was thinking of sticking those tiles on the walls of the laboratory, but then I thought, metal that can shield deep-sea fluctuations is an extremely precious material that’s priceless. Admiral Lu Lin, you put those materials here because you trust me, so I can’t let that trust down…”

As Helena opened the wardrobe, the interior of the wardrobe was revealed to Xiaobai.

The inside of the wardrobe was covered with shimmering silver patches, which were tightly packed together. As sunlight refracted into them, they shone brightly, making them appear as dazzling as diamonds at first glance.

"So I tried to use as few materials as possible to make this thing." Helena smiled at Xiaobai and his group.

"Wow... no, as expected of you..."

Not far away, the door to the bathroom inside the laboratory opened.

Saratoga, looking miserable, was helped out by Super Da and limped along.

Saratoga's inability to be stunned by teleportation magic is truly incurable.

"I feel like I'm going to throw up my guts..." Saratoga muttered to herself, head bowed, as if she had suffered some kind of fatal torment.

"Are you feeling alright now?" Chao Da asked with concern.

"Hmm... a little better..." Saratoga breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, the two slowly looked up and saw the four people, all dressed as white, surrounding the silver wardrobe in the center of the laboratory.

"Saratoga, Super Yamato, are you all rested? It's about time we headed back to Chapter 8." Shiro waved to Saratoga and Super Yamato.

“…” Saratoga shuddered, and the light in her eyes gradually faded.

Helena's "teleportation wardrobe" for Xiaobai was placed right at the teleportation anchor point in the second chapter. Although it's called a wardrobe, it's actually quite spacious inside; at least four or five people could stand inside without feeling crowded.

"Des Moines, why don't you come with us to Chapter Eight?" Xiao Bai asked Des Moines for his opinion.

“Me?” Des Moines was taken aback and pointed to himself.

"Yes, you're Lianlian's ship girl, so it's perfectly reasonable for you to act alongside her," Xiaobai smiled.

“Hmm…Admiral Lu Lin makes a good point, but I still have work to do at the Admiral’s Guild…” Desmond and Luo Lian exchanged a glance, their gazes wavering, but they still spoke to Xiao Bai with great regret.

“Work is not a problem. It’s the off-season now, and we have plenty of manpower. I’ll pick a few employees to cover your shifts. That should be enough for at least the next two or three months,” Helena interjected gently, reminding Des Moines, “How can I feel at ease if the Admiral is away and I don’t go with him? Des Moines, you should go.”

"Sister Helena, thank you..." Des Moines's face immediately showed emotion upon hearing Helena's words.

"It was nothing," Helena said, pursing her lips and waving at Des Moines.

"Helena, if you want to go to Chapter Eight, I can take you there too," Xiaobai said suddenly, looking at Helena's fair profile.

“Thank you, Admiral Lu Lin, but I’ll stay here.” Helena smiled at Xiaobai. “Even during the off-season, as the acting president, I can’t just be absent. If something unexpected happens here while I’m gone, it will be troublesome.”

“I see… Helena, thank you for your hard work.” Xiaobai nodded in understanding, then said to Helena with emotion, “But now that the teleportation base has been set up, you can tell me anytime you want to use the teleportation ability of the Super Yamato.”

"Then it's settled." Helena smiled at Xiaobai and extended her palm. "Admiral Lu Lin, I won't be polite at all when I need to use your teleportation abilities."

"Bring it on!" Xiao Bai looked at Helena's outstretched hand and happily reached out to shake hers.

Helena's palms were cool and soft, and the feeling of her well-trimmed long nails gently pressing against them was exceptionally comfortable.

“…Oh, right.” Helena suddenly spoke up, giving Little White a mysterious smile, “I have an idea right now that I want to borrow your abilities.”

"Eh? So fast?"

"Yes, I've been thinking about it for a long time." Helena nodded with a smile.

……

a long distance away.

Newbie Town Guardian.

President Er Gou sat cross-legged on a bench in the garden, wearing sunglasses and sucking on a lollipop. Although she was wearing a white dress and sandals specially made for her by Lexington, her particularly carefree grin and nonchalant movements still gave her a strikingly edgy vibe.

President Er Gou leaned against the bench, watching the ship girls walk past him one by one.

"Hello, Sister Naige."

"Good afternoon, Sister Naige."

"Sister Naige..."

When the newbie naval girls saw President Er Gou, they all bowed and greeted her politely.

"Hey, hey, hey!"

President Er Gou raised his hand to reply to the ship girls who greeted him. Then, as the ship girls left, he quietly moved his sunglasses aside and stared at their pert buttocks for a long time.

"Tsk tsk tsk, as expected of the ship girls from the rookie naval base, the quality of the girls is really high... Oh ho ho, this scenery is something you can never get tired of looking at." President Er Gou was in a good mood. "Speaking of which, we can go to Washington for a cocktail party this afternoon, should we grab a couple of light cruiser girls along?"

"Sister Naige, what a lively time~" Just then, a sweet, smiling voice rang out from behind President Er Gou, "You want to find Sister Qingxun to accompany you for drinks? How about I?"

It is a fortunate thing that a beautiful woman has volunteered herself.

But the moment he heard the voice behind him, President Er Gou was indeed shocked, and his glasses fell off his thigh with a thud.

"Huh? Wait, that voice..." Guild Master Er Gou stared wide-eyed, sweating profusely as he turned around. "Could it be...?"

The moment President Er Gou turned around, a pair of heavy blue strapless tops came into view.

When President Er Gou looked up, he saw a blue-haired mature woman looking at him with a smile on her face.

"Helena...!!!"

"Hey, President, it's been half a year!" Helena said with a smile.

"You, you, you, you—how did you get here?"

"Isn't this something to ask Admiral Lu Lin to ask Super Yamato to open the door?" Helena smiled and stepped forward. "Hehe... It's been half a year since we last met, and the president seems a bit distant, huh? Usually, you would jump into my arms and act all cute at this time. Why are you suddenly standing there today? Could it be... that even you, the president, find it unforgivable to abandon your position to go to your sister-in-law's house and slack off for half a year, leaving all your work to your secretary ship, and then embracing other light cruiser sisters in the naval base?"

Chapter 2598 Veneto has developed?

Helena, smiling, pressed closer.

Sweating profusely, President Er Gou retreated repeatedly.

Before long, Helena cornered President Er Gou against a pillar in the garden.

"Wait, wait, Helena, let me explain! Let me explain!" President Er Gou hurriedly raised his hands in surrender. "This matter actually has a very, very complicated reason!"

"Oh dear, I'd love to hear it all." Helena stopped and smiled at President Er Gou.

"Cough cough... I, I... I haven't been unfaithful!" President Er Gou swore earnestly, "I swear, although I've been living at Xiao Bai's house for the past six months, I haven't laid a hand on any of her ship girls or the Deep Sea Dean!"

"...Isn't that basic?" Helena sighed. "If you, President, really lay a hand on the ship girls in the rookie naval base, even I would think you're completely hopeless..."

"Uh……"

"Besides, Lexington is keeping an eye on this rookie naval base, right? Even if you, Chairman, want to cause trouble, the moment you make a move, you'll be punished by Mrs. Lexington with her carrier-based aircraft."

"Ah this..."

"Guild Master, your break is almost over." Helena sighed and said helplessly to Guild Master Er Gou, "At the Admiral Guild, Admiral Luo Lian and De Meiyin are going to accompany Admiral Lu Lin to Chapter 8, so we're a bit short-handed. It's about time you came back and worked properly for a while."

"What?! Xiaobai went to Chapter 8 without telling me! No way! I'm one of Xiaobai's secretary ships now!"

“Lexington told me that you haven’t been fulfilling your duties as a secretary ship at all during this time, right?” Helena said as she slowly approached President Er Gou. “Besides, Admiral Lu Lin has gone to Chapter 8, so there’s no need for a secretary ship during this time, right? President… it’s about time to settle your work. I’ve tried my best to keep all the work you’ve accumulated over the past six months… for you.”

Helena stared at President Er Gou with a slight smile on her beautiful face.

The shadow cast by Helena covered the body of President Er Gou.

President Er Gou slid off the pillar, tears welling in his eyes, looking at Helena with a terrified expression, who wouldn't come any closer to him.

"No...no...Helena...don't come any closer!"

"I don't want to work anymore."

In the garden of the newbie garrison, the pitiful cries of Guild Leader Er Gou lingered for three days, never ceasing.

……

Chapter 2599.

In Nia's cellar.

A purple vortex appeared out of thin air, opened up, and figures emerged from it.

"I can't take it anymore, I really can't take it anymore, I can't spit out a single drop..." Saratoga staggered out of the vortex, collapsing to one side as if she had lost her soul.

But just as Saratoga was about to fall...

Behind Saratoga, a pair of hands quickly embraced her slender waist.

"Saratoga, be careful..." Little White quickly helped Saratoga up, looking at her with concern, and said, "Um, are you alright now?"

"Ugh ugh ugh ugh..." Saratoga had no heart to enjoy this rare opportunity to have physical contact with Xiaobai. She could only dry heave while lying in Xiaobai's arms and moving around incessantly.

"Sigh...looks like I need to find a way to cure Saratoga's motion sickness..." Little White patted Saratoga's shoulder, muttering to himself, "Maybe next time we should try motion sickness medicine to see if it works..."

"Motion sickness, also known as kinetosis, is a specific symptom caused by excessive stimulation of the vestibular balance receptors in the inner ear due to various factors such as swaying, bumping, rotating, and accelerating motion when traveling by vehicle." Behind Xiaobai, Luo Lian emerged from the vortex, clearly and accurately stating while looking around at the surrounding environment, "From a pathological perspective, it is a state caused by the body being exposed to a passive motion environment and receiving sudden, unsuitable motion stimulation, resulting in disorientation and balance dysfunction and protective stress."

"Uh... what, what does that mean?" Xiao Bai was confused by Luo Lian's words.

“What I mean is that motion sickness and teleportation sickness work on different principles,” Luo Lian said with a smile. “Motion sickness medicine probably won’t work, but next time you can try using the Admiral Network to protect Saratoga’s body; it might be helpful.”

"Oh! I got it!" Xiaobai nodded quickly.

Following closely behind Luo Lian, Des Moines and Super Yamato also came out one after another.

After shutting down the massive teleportation vortex, I let out a long, slightly weary sigh.

"Is this the base for Chapter Eight...?" Dessou looked curiously at the neatly arranged ingredients around him. "It feels like a cold storage room..."

"This is the cellar," Xiaobai reminded her. "I've set this up as a teleportation base."

At this point, Xiaobai turned her head and glanced at Luo Lian.

Nia's cellar is very cold. The reason why Xiaobai and her group didn't react before was because Xiaobai and the ship girls had ship equipment to protect them, so they couldn't be affected by the cold air.

But Luo Lian was clearly different.

Luo Lian was a perfectly normal human. Faced with the cold air attacking from all directions in the cellar, Luo Lian's nose quickly turned red. She also began to subtly hug her arms and rub her elbows to warm up her body.

Luo Lian quickly noticed Xiao Bai's gaze. She smiled slightly at Xiao Bai, revealing a smile that indicated she was alright.

Faced with Luo Lian's smile, Xiao Bai could only sigh, and then took Luo Lian's hand.
