“No, Admiral, I wasn’t targeted for revenge…” Ticonderoga immediately shook his head. “They don’t understand. My personality is really not suited for the position of captain of the First Patrol Squad. This position requires more than just strength; there are many other factors to consider…”
“Ticonderoga, that’s not what I’m asking.”
“…?” Ticonderoga was stunned for a moment, then looked at Little White with some confusion.
"What I mean is, is it true that your training results are far ahead of the Admiral's Headquarters?" Xiaobai asked with a slight smile.
“…They exaggerated a bit.” Ticonderoga thought for a moment, then moved her fingers. A thousand meters away, the carrier-based aircraft sank the deep-sea amphibious ship that was trying to approach the group once again with a roar. “Actually, my training results are not that far ahead. It’s just that I often get first place among the ship girls in our batch of training, and sometimes others get first place.”
"I see." Xiaobai nodded.
After that, Xiaobai became much quieter.
Ticonderoga and the two ship girls looked at Shiro, who was gazing ahead with a smile on her face. Her expression hadn't changed for a long time, and it was unclear what she was thinking.
Ticonderoga withdrew his gaze, then raised his eyebrows and glared at his two companions with a somewhat fierce look.
I told you not to talk about this kind of thing with the president... Look, you've ruined her mood for chatting!
Ticonderoga conveyed his emotions through his eyes.
The two companions immediately covered their heads, sticking out their tongues, and hurriedly dragged their unconscious ship girl companion away.
Super Big and Silently held Little White, her gaze lingering on Ticonderoga before slowly drifting into the distance, looking at the shore, looking and looking... a strange melancholy appeared in her eyes.
Chapter 3939, The Greatest Danger
Shiro, along with Yamato and Ticonderoga, made their way across the sea towards the shore of 8-4.
When the group had traveled halfway, the giant crane, which was gazing at the shore in the distance, seemed to sense something. She gently lowered her head and whispered in Xiaobai's ear.
"Admiral, someone's here."
Just as Shiro was happily leaning against the chest of the giant, soft body, enjoying the comfortable and soft touch, she opened her eyes upon hearing the sound and gazed into the distance.
"Huh? Someone's here?"
"Up ahead?" Ticonderoga, who was piloting her carrier-based aircraft and dominating the sea, paused. She closed her eyes and launched the aircraft further away. After a while, she opened her eyes and looked at Xiaobai with surprise and admiration. "Admiral, how did you do that? Sure enough, someone is coming up ahead. It's the Admiral's Guild's speedboat."
“As expected.” Little White smiled at Ticonderoga. “It was Super Big who told me.”
"Ah... Miss Super Yamato is quite amazing. Logically speaking, as the aircraft carrier, I should have been the first to notice someone approaching." Ticonderoga showed an expression of admiration to Super Yamato.
"You're still fighting, so it's normal to be distracted," Xiaobai explained simply.
As they talked, the group moved forward another step.
Soon, a speedboat speeding along the distant horizon gradually came into view, along with two patrol teams of ship girls guarding the speedboat.
On the speedboat, a slender figure was holding onto the bow, constantly looking ahead. She was dressed in the uniform of a high-ranking civilian employee, and wore a mask and veil to shield her face from the smell of the deep sea. The fierce wind at sea lashed her exquisite clothes, outlining her tall figure, long legs, and the curves of her upper body that lacked definition.
"Manager Luo..."
Upon seeing the people on the speedboat, Ticonderoga immediately murmured to himself, a look of tension and self-reproach instantly appearing on his face.
It's obvious that Luo Yingying, who should have been stationed at the Admiral's Guild, would be taking a speedboat to the dangerous 8-4 sea area because she had heard the news that "the guild leader was sucked into the Black Tower".
This was all due to Ticonderoga's negligence.
At this moment, the speedboat and the escorting ship girl team spotted Xiaobai and her group. Luo Yingying on the speedboat looked in this direction with binoculars for a while. When she saw that Xiaobai and Ticonderoga were safe and sound together, Luo Yingying excitedly threw the binoculars behind her, then raised her arms and waved them incessantly at Xiaobai, jumping up and down.
"President! President!"
"President Lu Lin, over here, over here!"
Luo's whimpering cries came over.
Hearing the voice, Xiao Bai couldn't help but smile and wave towards Luo Yingying's direction.
The two groups quickly joined forces.
"Miss Yingying, what brings you here?" Xiaobai asked with a smile after Luo Yingying approached.
"Guild Master, did you get out of the Black Tower? I was so scared when I heard you were sucked in!" Luo Yingying seemed to have been under a lot of psychological pressure, and she started to complain as soon as she saw Xiaobai. "Guild Master, you are the guild master, you should at least pay attention to your own safety. Nobody knows what the situation is like at the Black Tower. Nobody knows what will happen after you are sucked in. Even if you have a ship... even if you have people protecting you, you can't take such a risk!"
Luo Yingying spoke with a slightly agitated tone, but because she was wearing a mask and face shield, it was impossible to see what her expression was.
"I am reflecting on my actions," Xiaobai said with a smile, but her expression showed no sign of remorse whatsoever.
"Sigh... But I'm so glad you're alright, President..." Luo Yingying looked at Xiaobai's smiling face and breathed a sigh of relief. She touched the mask on her face and said, "Then I can go back in peace now."
"By the way, through this adventure, I've learned a little bit about the Black Tower," Xiaobai said.
"The Black Tower?"
"Yes."
What's going on on the other side of the Black Tower?
"Hmm, this Black Tower is probably a relatively neutral facility. After touching the Black Tower, everyone will be sucked into a special space. There will be challenges set up by the Black Tower in that space, and only those who succeed in the challenges can come out." Xiaobai said to Luo Yingying. "After succeeding in the challenges, the Black Tower seems to give out rewards, and quite a lot of them."
"Uh... how much?"
"50,000 oil."
"so much?!"
"These are the resources I obtained. I don't know if everyone is like this," Xiaobai explained. "And after Chaoda and I successfully completed the challenge, the three ship girls who were sucked in earlier were also released."
"I see..." Luo Yingying listened to Xiaobai's words and nodded thoughtfully, her gaze falling on the unconscious ship girl being carried behind the two ship girls. "These are them?"
"Yes!" Ticonderoga and the two ship girls responded immediately, bowing to Luo Yingying.
"..." Luo Yingying nodded silently, her gaze lingering on Ticonderoga. "You're the captain of the Seventh Squad?"
"It was me, Supervisor." Ticonderoga immediately bowed his head. "Today's events were entirely due to my negligence, and I am willing to accept any punishment."
“…” Luo Yingying looked at Xiaobai, “President, what is your idea…”
"I'm fine too. Besides, Ticonderoga listens to me quite well," Xiaobai said to Luo with a whimper. "Let's skip the punishment."
“Okay, since the president has said so.” Luo Yingying nodded immediately. She said to Ticonderoga, “It’s a good thing to be recognized by the president. Your name is… Ticonderoga, right? Well done.”
"Huh? That's it? Maybe I should write a self-criticism or something..." Ticonderoga didn't expect her punishment to be so casually dismissed, and she immediately felt conflicted.
“The president said no, so there is no.” Luo Yingying immediately became displeased.
"Understood!" Ticonderoga responded immediately, then looked at Shiro with sincere eyes, "Thank you, Admiral."
"You're welcome," Xiaobai said with a smile.
“…Admiral?” Luo Yingying was taken aback. She looked at Ticonderoga with a strange expression.
When Luo Yingying saw the way Ticonderoga was staring at Xiaobai, she suddenly seemed to realize something. She broke out in a sweat and subconsciously swallowed.
As everyone knows, the difference between the titles "Chairman" and "Admiral" is actually an unspoken rule among ship girls, known only to a very few humans.
But coincidentally... Luo Yingying is one of them.
Upon hearing Ticonderoga call out to Admiral Shiro with such heartfelt admiralty, Luo Yingying immediately understood many things.
In that instant, thankfully she was wearing a face mask and a face shield, otherwise Luo Yingying felt that her stiff, fearful expression might have been exposed at any moment...
Oh my god.
The captain of the seventh patrol squad must have only met with the chairman a few hours ago, right?
no……
So they're already starting as admirals?
The rabbit hasn’t eaten the grass beside the nest yet!
How scary... President... you're really scary...
Luo Yingying secretly made up her mind that once she returned to the garrison, she would definitely find a way to let the Divine Eagle rest at home for two days...
Luo Yingying lowered her head and silently stroked her mask.
Luo Yingying really felt conflicted and troubled.
On one hand, she knew that Xiaobai's importance to Chapter 8 was self-evident. This land and sea were indeed incredibly rich, but after all, it had only been recently developed, and many places still held unsolved mysteries. Now, strange and indescribable situations would occasionally occur, situations that ordinary people could not resolve. Only the president, as the world's strongest admiral and possessing the world's strongest ship girls, could solve them... On the other hand, although this world's number one admiral was reliable in terms of strength and responsibility, making people feel safe as long as she was there... the danger was also real... What kind of kind admiral could just wander around outside and retrieve a ship? Luo Yingying definitely wouldn't believe that this wasn't because she had bewitched the ship girls.
In Chapter 3940, when there is danger, Admiral Lu Lin can resolve it. However, in Chapter 8, when there is no danger, Admiral Lu Lin is the greatest danger...
The president is truly a reliable yet dangerous figure...
Luo Yingying felt like she was becoming a contradiction herself.
"Miss Yingying, what are you thinking about?" Just then, Xiaobai's voice suddenly reached Luo Yingying's ears.
"Huh?" Luo Yingying responded subconsciously. She looked up and found that Xiaobai and the other ship girls were staring at her.
Being stared at like that, especially by Xiaobai, was terrifying, so much so that Luo Yingying immediately shuddered.
"No! I'm fine!" Luo Ying whimpered, hugging her arms and trembling. "It's probably because the deep-sea atmosphere on the surface was too strong... I was a little distracted."
“That’s true, after all, Miss Yingying is human…” Xiaobai nodded with deep feeling, then hugged her arm and said, “Actually, I also feel a little uncomfortable, there’s too much deep-sea energy here.”
"Admiral, let's get ashore quickly!" Ticonderoga said anxiously.
"..." Chao Dahe silently looked at Xiaobai with an expression that said, "The admiral is lying again."
After a brief handover, everyone returned to shore.
Back on the shore in Chapter 8, the patrol ship girls stationed there also ran over. Seeing that Xiaobai was safe and sound, they were very relieved and immediately saluted and greeted her.
Xiaobai smiled and waved to the ship girls, looking like a triumphant little general.
Ticonderoga and her companions left after getting ashore to soak the three unconscious ship girls in the repair pool, disappearing at the end of the beach.
Little White reluctantly stepped down from the huge, soft, and comfortable embrace, her feet touching the ground, her expression slightly disappointed.
Ugh……
It's so comfortable to be in Super Da's arms... The feeling of being so close to Super Da's skin, being able to clearly feel the rise and fall of her body, and being able to clearly feel her cool skin and full breasts under her thin clothes being slightly squeezed and deformed into her own shape with contact with her, is something that no top-notch sofa in the world can do.
It really gives you the feeling that you want to spend the rest of your life lying in a giant bed and its embrace.
Xiao Bai sighed and turned to look at Luo Yingying.
Luo Yingying was removing her mask and face shield, and she coughed twice while covering her face.
In fact, what Luo Yingying just said was not wrong. Although she was wearing a mask and face shield to block out the abyssal atmosphere, she was still a human being. The strength of the Admiral Network was only at an average to above-average level. Therefore, even though it was only half of the 8-4 journey, it was far from enough to harm her health, but it was enough to make her feel uncomfortable from the abyssal atmosphere.
"Miss Yingying, how are you feeling?" Xiaobai walked up to Luo Yingying and asked.
"Ah... President... cough cough, it's nothing... I'm fine, I just have a little phlegm stuck in my throat..." Luo Yingying immediately shook her head, "Thank you for your trouble... I'll be fine soon... cough cough..."
Xiaobai nodded silently. She stood there for a while, thinking, and looked in the direction where Ticonderoga and his group had left.
After Luo Yingying's coughing subsided considerably, Xiaobai finally spoke.
“Miss Yingying.”
"Huh? I'm here!"
"How much do you know about the ship girl Ticonderoga?"
"Ticonderoga... is he the captain of the seventh patrol squad? I usually communicate directly with the captain of the first patrol squad, and I'm not as close to the others..." Luo Yingying thought for a moment, then asked curiously, "Does the guild leader have any thoughts on this?"
“You should go back and look into this person.” Xiao Bai turned around and smiled at Luo Yingying. “I heard her practical training results were quite good.”
"Ah... um... okay." Luo Ying hesitated for a moment, then looked in the direction Ticonderoga had left and nodded subconsciously. "Then, guild master, about the Black Tower in the 8-4 sea area..."
"I'll write a report about the Black Tower for you when I get back. I'll explain everything in detail in it, so I won't be going back to the Admiral's Guild for a while," Xiaobai said to Luo Yingying. "I'll go back to the temporary naval base first. As for the report... I'll have someone deliver it to you. I'll leave the guild's affairs to you today."
"Huh? What exactly is the 8-4 sea area...?"
"After I finish writing the report, you go and hand it over to the Admiral Headquarters, and then... open it to everyone." Xiaobai thought for a while and said with a smile, "It seems that this Black Tower won't disappear anytime soon, and the importance of the 8-4 Sea Area can't be sealed off indefinitely. But the Black Tower does have some uses, although there are some risks... but at least we can earn some resources, right? It's good to integrate these advantages and disadvantages and inform all the Admirals of Chapter 8 as soon as possible."
“…I understand.” Luo Yingying nodded immediately.
"Then I'll be going?" Xiaobai said with a smile.
"President, please be careful!" Luo Yingying immediately bowed.
"Bye-bye!" Xiaobai took Chao Yahe's hand and nodded to Luo Yingying with a smile.
Then, Xiaobai and Chaoda walked one after the other toward the exit of node 8-4, and soon disappeared from Luo Yingying's sight.
Luo Yingying stood alone in the sea breeze, looking in the direction where the two had disappeared, and let out a long sigh.
"really……"
"Everything has become so organized since President Lu Lin came back..."
The murmurs quickly dissipated in the wind.
