Elder brother's garrison

At first, Iowa occasionally helped Xiaobai with small tasks, but gradually she took over all of Xiaobai's work, such as delivering documents and serving tea and water. In the following days, her responsibilities gradually expanded. In addition to serving tea and water and delivering documents, she began to take it for granted to help Xiaobai organize and classify work documents, copy copies of completed documents, guard the office door to prevent the destroyers from accidentally entering while playing, and eventually even helped Xiaobai draft, bind, deliver, sign for, follow up on, and collect documents. At Xiaobai's suggestion, she even helped Xiaobai create a reasonable daily schedule for the ship girls playing in the lobby, schedule movies for the movie theater, make a list of nutritious and delicious meals, and maintain the game machines in the game room and purchase new games—work that is truly the responsibility of a secretary ship.

It's a secretary ship, you know.

In simple terms, the secretary ship's job is to handle most of the matters within the naval base.

As Xiaobai watched Iowa walk out of the office, her figure disappearing into the direction leading to the elevator, she suddenly wondered how Iowa had managed to get everyone to accept her identity as the "secretary ship" so effortlessly.

What's truly terrifying is that all of this happened within just a few short days...

Xiao Bai thought for a moment.

Xiao Bai fell into deep thought.

Finally, Xiaobai had a flash of inspiration, realized the answer, and came to the conclusion.

Perhaps it's because Iowa really did these jobs very well...

Perhaps it was because she had accumulated a lot of experience as a secretary ship when she was a member of the secretariat at the naval base, or perhaps it was because she had a high talent in this area. In any case, Iowa's work was truly impeccable.

Because she handled everything so well, almost like a second Lexington, everyone got used to accepting her presence and gradually accepted her status as the secretary ship of the Admiral's Guild.

Xiaobai returned to her seat and looked at the teacup still steaming in front of her on her desk. She picked up the teacup, lowered her head, and took a sip.

Ok……

I feel a little bad for Sister Nanxing.

But Iowa's tea ceremony skills seem to be much better than Nanxing's.

Xiao Bai chuckled and put the teacup back on the table.

After waiting a short while, Iowa returned to his office empty-handed.

"Admiral, you're still here." Iowa's smile seemed somewhat surprised when he saw Xiaobai.

"Ah, yes." Xiaobai nodded. "Have all the documents been arranged?"

“Yes, everything is arranged. I also asked Washington to modify the elevator storage cabinets that handle document delivery. Now we can put documents from different departments in different compartments, which greatly improves the efficiency of document distribution,” Iowa said.

"As expected of you." Xiaobai gave Io Hua a thumbs up. After praising her, she looked at Io Hua's face for a while and then asked her, "Io Hua, I have something to ask you."

"Hmm? What does the Admiral want to ask?"

“Speaking of which, I don’t have a secretary ship yet at the Admiral’s Guild,” Xiaobai said to Iowa. “If you have some free time, how about you temporarily take on the position of secretary ship? The work is actually the same as before, it’s just that now you have a formal title, which will make things much easier for you, right?”

"Oh dear... does the Admiral mean he wants me to be his secretary ship?" Iowa asked with a smile, touching her cheek as she listened to Shiro's words.

"Hmm... I think you're doing a pretty good job..."

"I am flattered to receive such praise from the Admiral," Iowa said, stroking her cheek and nodding. "Since the Admiral trusts me so much, I will temporarily take charge of the title of guild secretary ship. If the Admiral finds a more suitable candidate in the future, it is not too late to replace him."

"What you're saying..." Xiaobai smiled wryly, "The secretary ship and the admiral work in the same office. My office is quite spacious now, and there are spare spaces. I'll set up a secretary ship workstation for you in the office in a couple of days."

"Admiral, are you going to set up a work station for me?" Iowa asked, looking at Xiaobai with a half-smile.

“Yes, it’s not good for you to always sit alone outside the door.” Xiaobai nodded. “At least in the Admiral’s Guild, you’re my appointed secretary ship, so your treatment can’t be the same as before.”

"With the Admiral's words, I'm relieved." Iowa nodded with a smile upon hearing this.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Looking at the smile on Iowa's face, Xiaobai suddenly felt something was off.

Then, at that moment, under Xiaobai's gaze, Iowa gently snapped her fingers towards the door.

After a "snap" sound.

Several ship girls squeezed in, carrying a set of office chairs.

Under Xiaobai's stunned gaze, Iowa directed the ship girls to place the office chairs in the corner opposite Xiaobai's workstation. After a few clanging and banging sounds, the secretary ship's workstation was set up in the blink of an eye.

Iowa smiled and thanked the ship girls as they entered, waving as she watched them leave the office.

Before the ship girls left, they greeted Shiro with smiles and said things like "Good afternoon, Admiral, goodbye, Admiral".

After the ship girls left, Shiro turned her gaze back to Iowa.

Iowa bent down and sat in her office chair, stroking the leather armrest with one hand and placing the other on the flat desk, smiling at Xiaobai.

"Admiral, you don't need to worry about the workstation anymore, I've already taken care of it."

“…Iowa, this table is…”

"Admiral, please rest assured, I bought this myself. The people who were in charge of delivery and installation were also some kind-hearted ladies, and they didn't spend any money on it," Iowa said with a smile. "I didn't do anything to misappropriate the Admiral's Guild's resources."

"No... I mean you... So you were prepared all along... Sigh... This... But... Oh well, alright." Xiaobai looked at Iowa's bright smile, her mouth almost opened several times, but after a while, she closed it helplessly, sighed, and watched Iowa take out a small flowerpot and place it on the desk, and continued to say softly, "Then let's leave it like this, it is indeed quite nice."

"Admiral, I look forward to working with you from now on."

Iohua placed her hands on her chest, looking at Xiaobai with a satisfied smile on her face.

Chapter 3539 Little White's Rules

"Hello!!"

In the video game room in the office lobby, Wisconsin, who was playing a game against Tirpitz, suddenly shuddered and sneezed. The game controller slipped from her hands as she trembled and fell between her crossed thighs.

As the controller fell, Wisconsin's expression changed, and she quickly reached out to retrieve it.

However, the truth is that even a few seconds of AFK (away from keyboard) can be a fatal mistake in a tense and exciting battle game.

As Wisconsin quickly picked up the controller again, on the projection screen in front of her, the little character she was controlling had already been kicked into the air by the golden, flashy little character controlled by Tirpitz. Before she could even fall to the ground, what awaited her was a whole set of Tirpitz's combo of taking advantage of the control time, mercilessly and with maximum damage. Finally, in the last second before Wisconsin's control-breaking skill was off cooldown, the golden, flashy little character controlled by Tirpitz rapidly threw a bunch of darts at her, using an unavoidable ultimate move.

"Even though you're an enemy, you're not bad!"

"KO!"

Amidst a flurry of flying figures and dazzling ultimate skill animations, the last bit of health bar for the Wisconsin-controlled character was rapidly depleted. Finally, her entire screen was covered by an Arcane Screenshot that could only be triggered by a kill using an ultimate skill, and the game's audio also featured the classic lines from the golden flash character controlled by Tirpitz.

Wisconsin stared at his three characters, now completely dead, and then at Tirpitz's team of three, whose health was still at full. He fell silent.

The silence in Wisconsin was deafening.

“You’re a good cook,” Tirpitz said from the side.

"Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up!" Wisconsin turned red on the spot. She slammed the controller down on her leg and angrily yelled at Tirpitz, "One more round! Just one more game!"

“You’ve lost five games in a row now,” Tirpitz sighed.

"Five games is nothing! I was about to win this one!"

"...Which eye of yours saw that you were going to beat me?"

"This one, and this one too!" Wisconsin angrily pointed to his left and right eyes. "I was so close to finding your weakness and finishing you off! I missed because I suddenly felt a chill down my spine and wanted to sneeze! I'm so unlucky, let's try again, just one more time!"

"Alright, alright," Tirpitz sighed.

"Don't use this character anymore! This character is too annoying to fight. He's flashing all over the map, his skill range is so big, and he even has a block." Wisconsin muttered.

"This character is not strong at higher ranks now."

"You mean you're really good at stomping noobs?"

"I'm really good at this."

"Get another one right away!"

“Alright,” Tirpitz said, switching his first battle character to a tiny figure engulfed in orange flames.

"I've never seen this character before," Wisconsin asked, holding the controller and looking at the character Tirpitz had selected.

"This requires real money."

"What? You even have to spend money to play competitive games???"

"Don't worry, a true champion can win no matter what role they play."

"Then go ahead and change it!"

"I don't steal or rob; I earned these characters through my own skill and spending real money. What am I going to exchange them for?"

"You tm..."

Before Wisconsin could finish speaking, the battle prompts on the screen started flashing again.

Wisconsin gritted its teeth and quickly threw itself into the next round of intense operations.

The creaking and groaning of the controllers echoed throughout the game room.

A few short minutes passed.

"My God—this character is even worse than the last one!!!"

Wisconsin's almost desperate screams echoed throughout the game room.

……

At the entrance of the game room, the ship girls passing by frequently glanced over.

Meanwhile, in the admiral's office on the other side of the main hall, Xiao Bai scribbled a page of words on a notebook and handed it to Iowa.

"Iowa, this is for you."

"Admiral, what is this?"

Iowa took the notebook that Xiaobai handed her.

"Now that you're officially the secretary ship of the Admiral's Guild, besides giving you the authority, we also need to establish ten rules." Xiaobai said earnestly to Iowa, holding a pen. "These are my requirements for secretary ships, and you must strictly abide by them."

Iowa looked at the contents of the notebook.

"Welcome to the position of Secretary Ship for the Admiral Guild of Chapter 8. We welcome you to our big family. We believe you are capable of handling all the problems that may arise during work hours. However, before you start working, we hope you will strictly abide by the following ten rules."

"Rule 1: The secretary ship is not allowed to flirt with the guild leader during working hours. The guild leader should maintain his dignity, at least during working hours."

"Rule 2: The guild leader may occasionally disappear during working hours. Please do not search for them in the office lobby at that time. There is always a reason for the guild leader's disappearance. Before disappearing, the guild leader will arrange the work properly and will return at an appropriate time. Please do not worry about where the guild leader goes during the period of disappearance."

"Rule 3: If you notice that the guild leader's clothes are messy, inappropriate, or stained with certain colors after the guild leader disappears and then reappears, please point it out tactfully in a one-on-one setting before other ship girls notice. The guild leader will be very grateful to you after he has taken care of everything."

"Rule 4: Regarding the president's early departure..."

"Rule 5:..."

"Rule 6:..."

"Rule 7: The guild leader doesn't mind if ship girls enter the office during working hours, especially cute destroyers. However, if a ship girl enters the office wearing a ring given by the guild leader, please leave the office quietly after she enters. During this time, you can go for a walk in the entertainment area, or go to the self-service food area to eat some snacks and enjoy the scenery. Please do not try to eavesdrop on conversations in the office. Trust the guild leader, he will handle everything."

"Rule 8: If you violate Rule 7, the president will be very angry. Although the president will not do anything to you after he gets angry, he hopes you will not do so."

"..."

"Rule 10: Unless absolutely necessary, please do not disclose any of the contents of this rule to other ship girls, including the president's marriage ship."

"These are the ten rules that must be followed to become a guild secretary ship. I hope we can cooperate smoothly. Thank you."

On a short notebook page, ten rules were written neatly. Iohua smiled as she put the page down, only to see Xiaobai standing in front of her with a pout.

"In short, these are our ten rules, you understand now?" Xiaobai said.

"Understood, I will strictly abide by all the rules above." Iowa nodded with a smile.

"That's good." Seeing Iowa's compliant expression, Xiaobai's expression relaxed a little, and she continued, "Then I'll go home now..."

"Admiral, have fun." Iowa waved with a smile.

Xiao Bai's complexion improved considerably; she looked as if she had won a battle as she walked out of the office amidst Iowa's smile.

……

After leaving the office, the first thing Xiaobai did was find Chaodahe, who was resting.

I'm really exhausted from this period of time.

While Xiaobai was handling official business in the office, Chaoda was not idle either.

She used her teleportation ability to travel back and forth between the deep-sea city and the mysterious sea, transporting the bodies of the deep-sea phoenixes until she was exhausted. Only then would she drag her weary body to Kyoto to buy two refreshing iced drinks before returning to the Admiral's Guild hall to find a room to rest for a while.

When Xiaobai entered Chaodahe's room, Chaodahe was lying on the soft bed stretching. When she saw Xiaobai enter, she quickly got up.

"Admiral, are you off work?"

"Yes." Shiro nodded to Super Yamato, then looked at him and asked, "How is it? Can it still move?"

"No problem, I still have energy left." Chao Dahe quickly got out of bed and said to Xiao Bai, "I just transported more than a hundred Dean's bodies from the second chapter."

"Wow, that's amazing." Xiaobai exclaimed, looking at Chao Yamato with great admiration.

The reason Xiaobai chose to leave work early today was that she wanted to get back to the Deep Sea City with Chaoda as soon as possible and complete the relocation of the Deep Sea Little Reds.
