President Er Gou skillfully patted Bai Ying's back and gently rocked her body. Soon, Bai Ying closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep in President Er Gou's arms.
"Wow!" Xiaobai looked at President Ergou in surprise. "President, you... are so amazing! You calmed Miss Baiying down so quickly!"
"Didn't I tell you? I'm an old maid." President Er Gou grumbled, looking quite smug.
"It's just like she actually gave birth to a baby!" Xiaobai clasped her hands together, her face full of admiration.
"Go away, go away, why bring up the sore spot? This is called feminine grace, you know?" President Er Gou quickly pouted, then waved his finger at Xiao Bai, "Just leave Bai Ying with me for now, Xiao Bai, go do your thing."
"Okay! Thank you so much, President Sister!" Xiaobai smiled gratefully.
"It's not hard work at all. Who wouldn't want to touch such a wonderful thing as a legally minor?" President Er Gou said with a smug look on his face, holding Bai Ying in one arm and raising his wine glass in the other.
"……"noob.
Considering how anxious I am, I'll just pretend I didn't hear what President Er Gou said.
Xiaobai turned around and looked at Chao Yamato.
"Super Yamato, let's go back to the ruined city first."
"it is good."
Super-large raised his hand and summoned a vortex black hole, taking Little White into it with him.
President Er Gou watched as Shiro and Chao Yamato disappeared into the vortex black hole. Then the vortex black hole closed, and only the background music of video games remained in the living room.
"This teleportation ability is truly amazing every time I see it..." President Er Gou muttered, tapping his wine glass lightly with his fingers. "Hmm... With this ability, sneaking into bank vaults, traveling to women's bathhouses around the world, and raiding beautiful girls' bedrooms at night would be so easy... Xiao Bai using this skill so seriously seems like a heartbreaking waste to me."
President Er Gou smacked his lips.
He glanced down at his empty wine glass.
“Oh, right… Xiaobai isn’t short of money now. She’s a girl and can go into the women’s bathhouse whenever she wants. All the beautiful girls in the entire naval base are hoping to sleep with her. It seems like there’s really no demand for her.” President Er Gou rested his chin on his hand. “I was too hasty.”
Put down the empty wine glass.
President Er Gou squinted at Bai Ying in his arms, then adjusted his position and leaned against the soft sofa cushions to let out a sigh of relief.
"Sigh... When was the last time I took care of the kids?"
"It must have been when Mu Yu was still a little kid... I can't believe she's grown up so fast, she's even taller than me now, it's so sad..."
"When I went home last time, my dad looked so haggard, and my older sister had a lot of wrinkles around her eyes. In the blink of an eye, I was surrounded by young people I'd never seen before. I hardly recognized my own home anymore..."
President Er Gou blinked and stared at the ceiling.
"..."
"..."
"What does it feel like to get old...?"
The voice of President Er Gou, mixed with alcohol, drifted through the air.
—Investigation
A black vortex opened up in the ruined city.
Xiaobai and Chaoda emerged from the vortex and returned to the corridor filled with the atmosphere of the deep sea.
"Phew... I think I made it?" After stepping out of the black vortex, Xiaobai first looked down at her phone to check the time, then glanced to the side and suddenly noticed someone crouching on the opposite side of the black vortex. Xiaobai was so startled that she gasped, "Eh... It's... Oh, it's Miss Fukami Zuikaku..."
After Xiaobai saw the figure on the other side clearly, he suddenly felt relieved.
The person crouching on the opposite side of the teleportation vortex was none other than Deep Sea Zuikaku. She was the only Deep Sea Dean in the entire ruined city who knew about the super-large and teleportation abilities. Xiaobai had taken her to the shore of Chapter 8 a while ago, so there was nothing to worry about her catching him red-handed on his way back.
"Good morning, Miss Fukami Zuikaku." Shiro walked up to Fukami Zuikaku and gave her an awkward smile.
“Hmm…” Deep Sea Zuikaku remained crouched, looking at Shiro, then shifting his gaze to the super-sized robot behind Shiro, “…Long time no see.”
“…Hello.” Super Yamato nodded to the Abyssal Zuikaku.
Deep Sea Zuikaku stared thoughtfully at Super Yamato for a while, then stood up and said to Shiro, "Kamikaze and the others are waiting for you downstairs."
"Huh? They're here so early?"
"It's because you came home late today."
"Uh……"
"Don't worry, they didn't know you weren't here. I told them you were resting today and left them on the first floor." Shen Hai Zuikaku paused slightly after saying this, "Luckily you came back in time, otherwise they might have been impatient and come up to find you."
"Ah... thank you, Miss Fukami Zuikaku..." Upon hearing this, Xiaobai sincerely thanked Fukami Zuikaku.
It's not a big deal if the scene of myself, Super, and others emerging from the vortex was witnessed by Zuikaku of the Deep Sea, but if the other Deep Sea Deans saw it, then things would be in big trouble...
Xiaobai is already considering whether to switch teleportation points with Chaoda.
“We’re in cahoots, I’m just helping myself,” said Deep Sea Zuikaku expressionlessly.
"No matter what, I owe Miss Zuikaku a favor this time."
"...Human favor?" Deep Sea Crane stopped and turned to look at Little White.
"Mm." Xiaobai nodded.
Deep Sea Zuikaku looked at Xiaobai expressionlessly, as if she was thinking about something. Then she said to Xiaobai, "...Then do me a favor, as a return gift."
"Sure, what kind of help do you need?"
Chapter 2075 Barbarossa's Data?
"What kind of help do you need, Miss Akami Zuikaku?" Xiaobai nodded and asked Akami Zuikaku.
"It's so boring staying in the city all the time, I want to go out and see the world," Deep Sea Zuikaku said to Little White.
"Outside?" Xiaobai was taken aback.
The Deep Sea Crane's gaze shifted from Shiro to Super Daiwa.
"Oh... I see." Xiaobai suddenly realized, "Miss Deep Sea Zuikaku, you mean... you want me to take you ashore again?"
The deep-sea crane withdrew its gaze, said nothing, and simply nodded silently.
"Hmm... alright then, I'll take you there again when I'm free today." Xiaobai said to Shenhai Zuikaku, then moved closer to her with a knowing smile. "Speaking of which, Miss Shenhai Zuikaku, why did you suddenly decide to go there... do you really like the environment there?"
"If it's inconvenient for you, then forget it."
"Convenient, convenient, of course! Our ship girls would love to see you. After you left, they were all asking when you'd come back." Shiro looked at Super Yamato and smiled slightly, "Right?"
"Yes!" Chao Dahe nodded quickly.
"Look?" Little White smiled at the Deep Sea Crane.
"..."
Deep Sea Crane ignored Little White; she simply quickened her pace slightly, leaving Little White behind.
With big, doting smiles on their faces, Shiro and Daiwa followed Mizukaku back to the first floor of the hall.
Just as Shenhai Zuikaku had said, the Shenhai deans who frequently visited these past few days had been in place for quite some time. Shenhai Hindenburg was half-lying in Xiaobai's tent, with only his lower body sticking out and kicking his legs. On a chair nearby, Shenfeng sat with his legs crossed, humming a song with a smirk on his face. Barbarossa sat on a carpet not far away, head down, diligently shuffling playing cards.
Noticing that Xiaobai and the other two had gone downstairs, the three Deans of the Deep Sea Academy in the hall all turned their gazes toward them.
"Hmm? Super Yamato finally showed up today..." Kamikaze noticed Super Yamato behind Shiro, chuckled, and teased Super Yamato, "You haven't shown up these past few days, always wandering around outside. I thought you had broken off all ties with your little master."
"Kamikaze, don't pry into other people's privacy." Barbarossa, who was shuffling the cards, stopped and reminded Kamikaze, "As long as people are still in the city, they are allowed to do whatever they want."
"Alright, alright." Kamikaze shrugged.
"Good morning, Miss Kamikaze, Miss Barbarossa, Hindenburg of the Deep Sea." Shiro stepped forward and greeted the three of them.
"Admiral! Good morning!" Deepsea Hindenburg greeted Little White with a grin.
Kamikaze glanced at Shiro, then rhythmically swung his crossed legs, but remained silent.
Barbarossa held up the cards in his hands and gestured towards Little White: "Want to play together?"
"Sure." Xiaobai looked at the three Deep Sea Deans in front of her and nodded gently. "Same as before?"
"Hmm." Barbarossa's face showed a hint of anticipation.
Xiao Bai first sat down opposite Barbarossa, then reached into his ship equipment space and pulled out a pair of red-rimmed glasses.
"What is this?" Barbarossa noticed what Little White had taken out and asked Little White.
"Hmm... just consider it a decoration." Xiaobai put the glasses on his nose, pushed them up with his fingers, and then smiled sheepishly at Barbarossa. "I found them in the city."
"Hmm." Barbarossa nodded and continued shuffling the cards, without asking any further questions.
The combat power measuring device (tentative name) that Luo Lian made for Xiao Bai, under Luo Lian's ingenious craftsmanship, looks no different from an ordinary eyeglass frame. As the saying goes, nearsightedness is one of the common phenomena in high-tech societies, and in this city once used by ancient humans, there must be many similar eyeglass-like devices to be found, so the combat power measuring device that Xiao Bai took out did not arouse Barbarossa's suspicion.
“I’ve seen this in the city too!” Deep Sea Hindenburg suddenly squatted down next to Xiaobai, hugged Xiaobai’s arm, and stared intently at Xiaobai’s glasses frame as he spoke.
"Hey...you've seen the Deep Sea Hindenburg too?"
"Hmm! It's a pity they're all broken!"
"Maybe I was just lucky to find one that's still relatively well-preserved." Xiaobai adjusted his glasses, and while doing so, gently pressed a button on the frame, then smiled at the Deep Sea Hindenburg.
"Amazing! Admiral is amazing!" Hindenburg smiled at Shiro.
In Xiaobai's view, next to Deepsea Hindenburg's smiling face, a string of bright data quickly appeared.
Target ship type: Deep-sea battleship
Ship equipment grade: 6
Lv: 110
Firepower: 1
Armor value: 1
Airborne: 1
Torpedoes: 0
Mobility: 1
......"
—These are really weak data points.
Little White stared quietly at Hindenburg's face and blinked.
It's possible that because the Deepsea Hindenburg is currently in a state of equipment damage and unable to use its shipboard power, its data on the combat power measuring device is so poor.
"Admiral?" Just then, Hindenburg looked at Xiaobai with curiosity.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"The Admiral has been staring at my face." Hindenburg touched his cheek and tilted his head. "He's looking at me so strangely."
"Ah..." Xiaobai quickly looked away and smiled apologetically at Deep Sea Hindenburg, "Well... actually, I prepared a gift for you and was thinking about when to give it to you."
"A gift! What gift!" Deep-sea Hindenburg thought of this and excitedly raised his head to look at Little White.
"Hmm... Good... Delicious?" Xiaobai scratched his head, reached into his ship equipment space and took out a beautifully packaged lunchbox, handing it to Deep Sea Hindenburg. "See if you like this."
"this is?"
Hindenburg took the lunchbox from Xiaobai. She picked it up, sniffed it, and then bit a corner of the lunchbox with her teeth.
"The outside is the packaging, and the inside is what you can eat." Xiaobai quickly reached out and opened the Deep Sea Hindenburg's lunchbox. Immediately, a sweet, sour, and savory aroma wafted out of the lunchbox, making Deep Sea Hindenburg's eyes light up.
"It smells so good! Even better than grilled fish!" Hindenburg stared wide-eyed at the large, dark red noodles in her lunchbox, drool dripping from her lips. She eagerly grabbed the lunchbox and took a huge mouthful, then hunched her shoulders, closed her eyes, and let out a long, drawn-out "Delicious! Absolutely delicious! Thank you, Admiral!"
Deep-sea Hindenburg, as if it had found a treasure, grabbed the lunchbox and ran off.
"Phew..." Little White looked in the direction where Deepsea Hindenburg had left and breathed a small sigh of relief.
These deep-sea deans are really quick-witted...
Even though he had just been observing her ship equipment attributes through the combat power measuring device, they were still able to realize that he was staring at them.
Luckily, I managed to get away with the leftover spaghetti from yesterday, otherwise it would have been quite difficult to explain.
Next time I use the measuring device to observe the Deep Sea Dean, I should be a little more careful to conceal my gaze...
Little White muttered to himself, stealing a glance at Barbarossa.
Barbarossa was quietly shuffling the cards, looking extremely focused.
Barbarossa is completely focused on the cards right now... she probably won't notice that I'm staring at her.
Xiao Bai cautiously fixed his gaze on Barbarossa, and soon, as Xiao Bai's gaze lingered, a series of data emerged from Barbarossa.
