Elder brother's garrison

Admiral Chen Qing had even already planned how he would berate the challenger for being slow once the challenger arrived.

at last.

Half an hour later, a petite figure jogged towards the crowd.

Soon, the petite figure stopped in front of everyone.

"Oh, I'm sorry I'm late! Is this the location for the random challenge?"

A crisp, gentle sound came, bringing a sense of joy.

Even Admiral Chen Qing, who was about to explode, calmed down upon hearing this voice.

But even after the anger subsided, the necessary show of force still had to be delivered.

"How could you be like this..."

Admiral Chen Qing frowned and shook his head, preparing to say at least a few words.

However, the next second, Admiral Chen Qing was dumbfounded after seeing who it was.

The person who appeared in front of Chen Qing and the referee was a young admiral with long, straight white hair and an exceptionally beautiful face. Since she appeared, the young admiral had been wearing a gentle and approachable smile, just like the rising sun.

In an instant, Admiral Chen Qing recognized the challenger.

Then, Admiral Chen Qing gasped, feeling a sudden, overwhelming numbness in his head.

This is... Admiral Lu Lin?!

Holy crap?! Number one in the world?!

Chapter 3137 The Empty Little White

silence.

Deathly silence.

Just as this petite young female admiral arrived at the beach in the 8-3 area, greeting the admirals and referees with a gentle and friendly smile, the entire beach in the 8-3 area seemed to have been paused and fell completely silent.

On the sea, the ship girls who had just been engaged in fierce combat stopped what they were doing.

On the beach, the admirals watching seemed to have their eyes pop out of their sockets, and none of them dared to utter a sound.

Even the surging waves seemed to have come to their senses, remaining quiet and still, the sea surface as smooth as a mirror for a moment.

Plop, plop...

The only thing everyone could hear was the rapid beating of their own hearts and the suppressed breathing.

—The female admiral who appeared in the 8-3 sea area was recognized by all the admirals present.

— Rather, it's more like… a deep, unforgettable recognition.

—This beautiful and charming young admiral is none other than Admiral Lu Lin, who is currently ranked number one on the world's list!

The onlookers suppressed the shock and fear in their chests. They looked at each other, their pupils suddenly contracting.

wait a minute...

Admiral Lu Lin has arrived here, could it be that...?

The person who just matched with Admiral Chen Qing in a random challenge was...

hiss!

As the admirals thought of this, a sudden realization dawned on them, as if they had grasped the laws of the world, or as if they had come to understand a rule where everyone is at the mercy of the other. This realization instantly filled their minds.

Yup!

This special event was something that was never said before, that the world's number one admiral wouldn't participate...

Since Admiral Chen Qing can challenge any of the top 50 admirals in the world rankings through targeted challenges, then the world's number one admiral can also be matched with Admiral Chen Qing through random challenges!

Admiral Chen Qing has truly "won the lottery" this time!

The admirals all turned their gazes toward the direction where Admiral Chen Qing was.

Everyone still clearly remembered how triumphant and spirited Admiral Chen Qing had been just moments before.

Admiral Chen Qing had boldly declared in front of everyone that he would aim for the top ten spots.

That's not the case.

He managed to recruit the world's number one admiral... In a sense, wasn't that exactly what he wanted?

Under everyone's gaze, Admiral Chen Qing's hands and feet trembled slightly. He looked at the girl with a polite smile in front of him, and his face turned pale.

"Are you my opponent?" Xiaobai smiled at Admiral Chen Qing, extended her hand and said politely, "Nice to meet you. My name is Lu Lin. Please guide me in the upcoming exercise."

As Admiral Chen Qing looked at Xiao Bai's outstretched slender hand, he felt a sudden white light before his eyes, his breathing stopped, and his eyelids uncontrollably rolled upwards.

Just moments ago, Admiral Chen Qing was practically screaming in his heart, begging the young admiral in front of him that he must have made a mistake. He hoped she wasn't the world's number one admiral, or even if she was, he hoped she wasn't someone who wanted him to practice. He hoped she was just there to take a look around and greet the contestants...

But Xiao Abi's words just now completely shattered the last glimmer of hope in Admiral Chen Qing's heart, making him face reality.

Admiral Chen Qing did not understand.

Admiral Chen Qing was completely baffled.

Why... how could I, a mere admiral ranked outside the top 30 in the world rankings, be matched with the world's number one admiral in random matchmaking?

The matchmaking system—where are the supposedly evenly matched opponents?

Are you kidding me?

Admiral Chen Qing felt that he had been a bit arrogant, presumptuous, disrespectful, and disrespectful to his opponents today, but... he felt that no matter how arrogant or disrespectful he was... he didn't think he could compete with a monster like the world's number one admiral!

What the fuck...

Admiral Chen Qing felt dizzy and wanted to cry but couldn't.

seriously.

Admiral Chen Qing wanted to escape.

If Admiral Chen Qing's opponent this time were any of the top ten in the world except for Xiao Bai, Admiral Chen Qing would at least have been able to practice with them with some learning intentions. But since his opponent was Xiao Bai, Admiral Chen Qing really didn't have the slightest desire to practice.

Don't joke around...

Forget about winning or losing in a drill with Admiral Lu Lin; how could I possibly learn anything from that...?

Moreover, Admiral Lu Lin's usual style is truly terrifying. The last admiral who offended her has already been imprisoned, his naval base has been sealed off, and he has disappeared without a trace. If a small admiral like myself were to accidentally displease her, she wouldn't even need to lift a finger. All those admirals around me who are willing to boost the world's number one admiral's favorability would surely rush up and tear me to pieces in an instant!

Most importantly... what if she takes a liking to one of our ship girls...

Thinking of this, Admiral Chen Qing lowered his head in fear, his hands and feet turning ice-cold.

Admiral Chen Qing suddenly realized that the "no-battle token" costing 800 challenge tickets a day didn't seem that expensive... at least he could avoid Admiral Lu Lin.

No!

After today ends, I will definitely get a truce token no matter what!

"Admiral Lu...Admiral Lu Lin...It's...it's an honor to meet you..." Admiral Chen Qing said, trembling.

"Hmm?" Xiaobai tilted her head and looked at Admiral Chen Qing. She didn't know what the admiral in front of her had been thinking. She thought he was just nervous, so she smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous. We're just doing a normal exercise."

"..." Admiral Chen Qing.

Admiral Chen Qing secretly glanced at the admirals who had just surrounded him and flattered him.

The admirals stood far away, and as soon as they met Admiral Chen Qing's gaze, they immediately whistled and looked away, pretending not to know anyone there.

Admiral Chen Qing took a deep breath. He first gave Xiao Bai a smile that looked more like a grimace, and then looked at the referee.

"Referee..."

"Hmm, what is it?" the referee asked.

"Can we surrender during this exercise?" Admiral Chen Qing asked in a low voice.

"According to the rules, you can surrender," the referee said. "However, surrender only takes effect during the preparation period for the match. Now that you're here, you have to come out and fight. By the way, if you desert after the exercise has started, it will be considered a violation of your training attitude and will be recorded as a malicious act. Depending on the severity, you may be banned from training for one week to three months."

The referee seemed to have read Chen Qing's mind and reminded him.

"How is a serious offense determined?" Admiral Chen Qing swallowed hard and asked.

"Look at the weight of this exercise; in other words, it's about the world ranking of the opponent you stood up."

"..." Admiral Chen Qing.

Understood.

So, if Admiral Chen Qing dares to skip this exercise, he'll be punished with at least a three-month ban, according to the most severe penalty, right...?

This special event only lasts for a month. If your account gets banned for three months, it'll be too late by the time you're released.

Admiral Chen Qing's heart sank to the bottom.

A painful feeling of being caught in a dilemma welled up in Admiral Chen Qing's heart.

After pondering for a long time, Admiral Chen Qing raised his eyes and secretly glanced at Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai, with a gentle smile, was asking the referee about various details of the exercise.

The young female admiral before him was none other than the one feared by everyone in Chapter 8... But under the watchful eyes of Admiral Chen Qing, this monster admiral was extremely polite and kind when she spoke with the referee. Her smile was friendly and her attitude was warm. Most importantly, her appearance was no less stunning than that of the ship girls. She had flawless white skin, golden eyes, white hair, and a faint fragrance of osmanthus emanating from her.

Admiral Chen Qing only dared to glance at Xiao Bai before quickly lowering his head.

With his heart pounding in fear, Admiral Chen Qing gripped his trembling hands, feeling large beads of sweat streaming down his forehead.

I have this feeling... it seems... it's not that scary.

Since I'll get banned for three months for playing passively anyway, it's a lose-lose situation for me either way... so I might as well grit my teeth and give it my all...

Thinking of this, Admiral Chen Qing looked up again.

Admiral Chen Qing met the referee's eyes directly.

"Are you ready?" the referee asked Admiral Chen Qing. "The contestants from the previous exercise have come down; it's your turn."

"Huh? So fast? Where are the others? There were four or five groups of people queuing just now..." Admiral Chen Qing was stunned, and he subconsciously looked around.

This look.

The admirals who had just lined up had long since disappeared.

Damn, those people ran really fast!

Admiral Chen Qing cursed inwardly, but quickly composed himself and bared his teeth at the referee.

"Okay... okay, I'll send the ship girls up right away..."

"Hmm—" The referee nodded in satisfaction at Admiral Chen Qing, raising his eyebrows as he said, "I still prefer your unruly demeanor just now."

"..." Admiral Chen Qing.

wrong.

That was a mistake.

You might as well just kill me.

Admiral Chen Qing was filled with regret; he wished he could go back ten minutes and slap himself twice.

Today, the coastal waters of the 8-3 area have been divided into more than thirty sections by the staff of the Admiral's Guild. Each section is a designated training ground where ship girls can fully demonstrate their skills.

Admiral Chen Qing commanded the ship girls to deploy their ship equipment and head towards the training ground on the water.

After Admiral Chen Qing's ship girls arrived at the waters, Admiral Chen Qing finally looked at the referee and Xiao Bai.

At this moment, Xiaobai simply smiled and looked at herself.

Admiral Chen Qing looked at Xiao Bai and suddenly paused.

It was only then that Admiral Chen Qing suddenly realized something he hadn't noticed before.

That is... right now, there's nothing behind Xiaobai.

She...didn't bring any ship girls?

Chapter 3138 Five seconds is still too short for an admiral.

After learning that he was going to have an exercise with the world's number one admiral, Admiral Chen Qing fell into an extremely long state of existential doubt. As a result, no one on the beach, including him, had realized that Admiral Lu Lin, who had arrived on the beach, was not followed by any ship girls.

Ok?

How could this be?
