Elder brother's garrison

"However, if you promise me one thing, I will not punish it," Xiaobai said to the destroyers.

"Ah! Yes, what is it!" The destroyers nodded quickly.

"That is, you must not tell anyone else what happened today. This is a secret that is only between me, you... and your construction machine sister, okay?" Xiaobai said to the destroyers.

The destroyers were taken aback and looked at each other.

"...As long as we don't tell anyone else about this, will Admiral Lu Lin not punish the Construction Machine Sister?"

"Yes, because you promised me, I promise you."

"Alright! Alright!" The destroyers nodded without hesitation, tugging at Xiaobai's clothes and saying, "We promise Admiral Lu Lin! We won't tell anyone about this!"

"Why don't you tell the strangers?"

"Don't tell me, don't tell me!"

"Can we make a pinky promise?"

"Ok, Ok!"

"So... what if your admiral asks about this again after we pinky swear?"

"Uh..." The destroyers were immediately at a loss. They looked around with a wronged expression, hesitant to speak, but the moment they saw the pitiful research and construction machine, they nodded to Little White. "Hmm! If the Admiral asks... well, we won't say! Because it's a promise!"

"Phew." Xiaobai nodded in relief and lowered the military knife he had been holding high.

The blue flames reappeared, and the crystal beast head poked its head out, angrily grabbing the military knife, before retreating back into the flames along with the knife.

A serene and kind smile finally returned to Xiaobai's face.

—Plan in place.

—Although I used a little trick, I managed to get things arranged for the destroyers.

Xiaobai, holding the destroyers in his left and right hands, raised his head and looked again at the research and construction machine crouching in front of him, trembling.

The research and construction machine was quite frightened by the little white thing, and its mechanical tentacles were trembling weakly.

Faced with this situation, Xiaobai didn't know what to say for a moment, and could only smile helplessly.

Xiao Bai isn't the type to randomly grab a knife and start hacking and slashing when she gets angry.

Xiaobai just said he was going to cut off the tentacles of the research and construction machine, which was obviously just a show for the destroyers!

After all, if things hadn't gone this far, it would have been difficult for Xiaobai to convince the destroyers to keep these things to themselves... In fact, even if the destroyers hadn't come out to stop Xiaobai, he wouldn't have actually cut them down.

This was a plan that Xiaobai had just come up with in a moment of inspiration, and it was originally intended to be implemented in a burst of energy.

In the end, it seems that the gamble paid off.

Ok……

It seems the performance was a bit too realistic, causing considerable psychological trauma to the person involved.

Little White, holding the destroyers, looked at the research and construction machine, which was still trembling in shock from the recent events, and stuck out its tongue.

Forget it.

It's good to scare them a little.

Otherwise, if we let the research and construction machine continue to act recklessly, who knows what might happen in the future.

Let's just consider this a small lesson for the scientific research and construction machinery.

Chapter 2827, is there still half left?

"So, you were lured here by the lollipops from the research and construction machine?"

Inside the repair tub, Xiaobai squatted on the ground, dressing the destroyers whose ship equipment was still intact while asking them questions.

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The destroyers nodded in agreement.

"Seriously... where did the research construction machine get so many lollipops..." Xiaobai sighed helplessly. She looked at the research construction machine and asked the machine kneeling beside her with its mechanical tentacles, "Do you have any more lollipops on you?"

The research and construction machine creaked and twisted, and the hatch opened a crack.

A mechanical tentacle reached into the cabin, grabbed around, and then pulled out a bulging bag of candy, carefully handing it to Little White.

Xiaobai reached out and took the bag of candy.

"...It's quite heavy..." Xiaobai placed the candy bag on the marble floor, unwrapped it, and looked inside. "Wow...it's quite a lot..."

The candy bag was filled with snacks such as cookies, lollipops, and chocolates.

"These snacks...you didn't steal them from somewhere, did you?" Xiaobai asked the research and construction machine.

"!!!" The research and construction machine hurriedly waved its tentacles to indicate that it was innocent.

"So who gave it to you?" Xiaobai asked again.

"..." The research and construction machine immediately lowered its head and stopped responding.

"..." Seeing the research and construction machine's refusal to admit its mistake, Xiaobai sighed again, "Actually, I know even if you don't say it... This was given to you by the Royal Ark, right?"

"!?!" The research and construction machine instantly sprang to life.

His panicked expression made it seem as if he were asking Xiaobai how he knew.

"It's not that hard to guess..." Xiaobai said helplessly, rubbing her forehead. "After all, in the entire naval base, only the Royal Ark can help you... You two have the same interests, so the possibility of you hitting it off immediately is not low."

The research and construction machine creaked and groaned as it lowered its head and began to wriggle.

"Really...you've caused me so much trouble...sigh." Xiaobai sighed for the third time. "Anyway, I'm confiscating this bag of snacks."

Xiao Bai lifted the heavy bag of snacks.

The surrounding destroyers immediately looked at Xiaobai with a pilgrimage-like gaze.

"Alright, alright, eat as much as you want." Little White couldn't stand being stared at like that by the cute destroyers, so she opened the snack bag and handed it to the destroyers.

The destroyers cheered and unanimously thanked Admiral Lu Lin. Then, several small white hands reached into the snack bag, each grabbing a lollipop and licking it contentedly.

Xiaobai also took this opportunity to observe the destroyers carefully.

When Xiaobai found the research construction machine, it wasn't too late. Therefore, only half of the destroyers that were "kidnapped" by the research construction machine had their ship equipment swallowed up, and the remaining dozen or so destroyers were still intact.

"Destroyers whose ship equipment was swallowed, let's leave them in the repair pool to repair their ship equipment for now." Xiaobai carried the snack bag to the edge of the repair pool and said to the destroyers in the pool, "I won't let anyone else in during this time, so you can repair yourselves properly."

"Okay! I understand!"

The destroyers in the pool raised their hands and said with a smile.

"The rest of you, those whose ship equipment wasn't eaten, come back to the reception area with me later," Xiaobai said to the other destroyers. "Your admiral is going crazy in the reception area because she's missing your help. Go back and help her."

"Ah! Admiral! Admiral!"

"Oh dear! I almost forgot! I still have work to do!"

The destroyers then remembered that they had an admiral named Ning Lu.

Seeing the destroyers' belated realization, Xiaobai couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth into a smile.

That's right... that's more like a destroyer's reaction.

After distributing the snacks, Xiaobai led the well-equipped destroyers to their feet and spoke to the research and construction machine.

"You can stay here and wait for me to come back to you." Little White pointed to the research and construction machine. "If you run away again this time, I'll really be angry."

"Crunch! Crunch!" The research and construction machine nodded hurriedly. It even took out its mechanical tentacles and drew a circle under itself with white foam from shower gel.

Although progress hasn't increased much, the compliance of the research and construction machines has greatly improved thanks to the recent deep-sea killer deterrent.

Seeing the research and construction machine's obedient actions, Xiaobai finally felt a little relieved.

Xiao Bai gave the research and construction machine two more instructions, then led the well-equipped destroyers away from the repair bath.

After leaving the bathhouse, on his way back to the reception room, Xiaobai activated the Admiral Network and remotely contacted Changchun and Anshan.

"Changchun, are you and Anshan still at the dormitory entrance?"

"Huh? Admiral? Yes... What's wrong?"

After the network of the admiral fluctuated twice, Changchun's voice echoed in Xiaobai's mind.

Xiaobai glanced down at the destroyers beside her, smiled helplessly, and covered her ears.

"Changchun, I need your help with something. Go and unlock the dormitory door."

"Huh?? Now?" Changchun asked in surprise.

"Yes."

"But...but the key is with you, Admiral..."

"It's alright, we can just use the strength of the ship girls to crush the lock."

"Oh... well, alright then." After a brief silence, the ship girl on the Changchun side fluctuated slightly, and a few seconds later, a crisp sound of metal breaking rang out. "Alright, Admiral, Anshan-neechan has broken the lock... should we open the door now?"

"Ah."

"Okay, Admiral, please wait a moment..."

The door creaked as it opened.

"...Eh? Eh?? Eh eh eh eh?!!"

Sure enough, a few seconds later, a very loud and shocked sound came from Changchun.

"Ti, Ti, Ti, Ti, Ti Admiral—no, something terrible has happened! The research and construction machine, it's escaped!" Changchun exclaimed.

"Just as I thought..." Xiaobai lowered her head.

"Admiral, oh no! I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, my sister and I were guarding this place so carefully, but still..." The voice from Changchun suddenly became anxious.

"It's alright, Changchun... I've already found the research and construction machine." Xiaobai quickly comforted Changchun.

"Huh? Is that so... Well, that's great... It didn't do anything bad, did it..."

"..."

"Admiral?"

"Hmm? Oh... nothing... I have something to do here, so I'll have to talk to you later..." Xiaobai said to Changchun, "I've temporarily placed the research and construction machine at the repair pool. It's very obedient now and won't do anything bad. Hmm... when you and Anshan come to the repair pool later, just make sure no one comes in."

"understand!"

Xiao Bai nodded and severed the connection with Changchun.

Little White stretched and looked at the white clouds in the sky, revealing a look that was both funny and exasperated.

...I should have realized it long ago.

The infiltration technology of the research and construction machine is so advanced that it can slip away from the open sea in broad daylight, sneak into the temporary naval base amidst a patrol of ship girls, and even pry open the dormitory door in Changchun without attracting anyone's attention, thus entering the dormitories in Changchun and Anshan with impunity...

With this level of lock-picking ability, it could sneak out of a room while Changchun and Anshan aren't looking, and then secretly lock it again... Although it sounds fantastical, it's not entirely impossible.

"As expected of a special ship girl construction machine... it never disappoints when it comes to surprising people."

"If the construction machines are this sophisticated, just how powerful will these special ship girls be...?"

Little White muttered to himself.

When Xiaobai and the destroyers returned to the reception room, Admiral Ninglu was still going crazy.

"What's going on? Didn't I bring a lot of destroyers with me today? How come there are only thirty or so left in the blink of an eye!" Ning Lu finally realized that she was missing more than twenty destroyers. She was holding the roster and shouting at the destroyers in the hall, "Damn it, how come I didn't know you guys were such lazy kids!"

"Admiral Ning Lu!" Xiao Bai returned with the destroyers, and she awkwardly waved to Ning Lu, who was taking attendance.

"Huh? Admiral Lu Lin, you're back? Uh... sorry, the studio seems to be a little lacking..." Ning Lu showed strong apology when she saw Xiao Bai, but before she could finish speaking, she saw a row of more than a dozen destroyers following behind Xiao Bai. "Huh? Aren't these my little darlings?"

"Admiral!"

The destroyers behind Xiaobai quickly stepped forward and pounced on Ning Lu.

Ning Lu stretched out her arms like a mother hen, protecting the destroyers around her as if they were chicks, then looked at Xiao Bai with a puzzled expression.

"Admiral Lu Lin, how did they end up over there?"

"Ah... this... um... well..." Xiaobai scratched her cheek sheepishly and gave Ning Lu an awkward smile. "Because... um... because... they're so cute! So I couldn't resist taking them around the naval base and treating them to something to eat! Um... I'm so sorry for not telling you beforehand and causing you trouble!"

Finally, Xiaobai bowed 90 degrees to Ning Lu.

"Oh... I see." Ning Lu looked at Xiao Bai apologizing, and she also let out a deep breath, giving Xiao Bai a wry smile. "Admiral Lu Lin, you should have told me about this sooner. You scared me half to death!"
