"Yes, but..."
"Doesn't the president trust my family?"
Faced with Ella's barrage of questions, Yuge stood there for a while, then seemed to understand something. He quickly nodded and smiled at Ella: "Hmm, that's true. After all, Miss Ella's family is... Okay, if you want to see the construction equipment, there shouldn't be any problem."
After agreeing to Miss Ella's request, Yu Ge turned around and smiled at Xiao Bai as well.
"I'm so sorry, but earlier... Since the world's number one is curious about the construction machine, how about we go take a look with Miss Ella later?"
"Okay, sure." Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiaobai and Ella exchanged a glance, both seeing the smile in each other's eyes.
After agreeing to Ella and Xiaobai's request, Miss Yuge seemed to feel less burdened.
The construction machine was located in a basement beneath the fortress. Miss Fisherie had to go and help Xiaobai and Ella level up, so she left first.
"Ella, thank you." After Miss Fisher Song left, Little White, standing in front of the fortress gate, thanked Ella beside him.
"You're welcome." Ella shook her head at Xiaobai. "It was nothing. Xiaobai, are you curious about that construction machine?"
"Well... a little."
The Missouri construction machine was brought back from the sea by Xiaobai, and it is a construction device with a different appearance from modern construction machines.
The construction machine that built Wisconsin... is it also a construction device with a different appearance...?
Xiao Bai recalled the conversation he had with Miss Yuge.
As Miss Yuge once said, Wisconsin can walk out on its own after construction is completed without anyone activating the construction device. In that case, it is exactly the same as the situation in Missouri.
Just then, Xiaobai felt Ella tugging at his sleeve.
"Ella, what's wrong?"
"Xiao Bai, shall we go check on how the banquet is going?"
"what……"
"There's a lot of alcohol at the banquet; things might get pretty bad later on."
"……Well."
After being reminded by Ella, Xiaobai nodded somewhat belatedly.
Speaking of which, after I took Wisconsin away, those admirals might become irritable because of me and Wisconsin... If they start arguing at the banquet... the consequences wouldn't be good.
"There shouldn't be any problems with the banquet... The admirals should all have gone back by now." As Xiaobai said this, she subconsciously looked towards one side of the fortress gate.
An old-fashioned bicycle was parked quietly by the fortress gate.
"..." Xiaobai glanced at the bicycle with some concern.
Is that admiral from Chapter 5 still in the fortress hall?
Wow.
I hope nothing bad has happened.
"Hmm, I'll go check out the main hall then." Thinking this, Xiaobai felt a subtle worry. She walked towards the fortress's main hall.
The fortress hall is only a short distance from the fortress gate.
Ella quickly caught up with Little White.
"Xiaobai, are you worried that something might happen in the hall?"
"Yeah, a little." Xiaobai smiled at Ella, "After all, Wisconsin helped him before."
"How is things in the lobby now?"
"...Most of the admirals in the hall are men. What happens when men drink too much?" Xiaobai couldn't quite describe the changes in the hall. She turned her head and asked Ella curiously.
Before Ella could answer, the two had already arrived at the entrance of the fortress hall.
The doors to the fortress hall were closed, and Xiaobai could faintly hear a jumble of noise coming from inside.
Could it be that the admiral in Chapter 5 was really bullied?
Thinking of this, Xiaobai pushed open the door.
As the saying goes, if you're going to help someone, help them all the way. Although Xiaobai didn't offer any substantial help, she did see that the male admiral win over Wisconsin through his bond with the ship girls, so she still cared about him a bit. If he were really bullied, Xiaobai would be quite upset...
Just then, the door was pushed open.
"Wow!"
"Hahahaha, this guy can't hold out any longer!"
"Hahaha, I can take on ten more! Come at me all at once! I'll go first!"
"Boss is awesome! Boss is mighty!"
"6666666————"
"Drag the first one to fall out and flick them!"
"Hahahaha, another one fell down! Let's go again!"
"You guys really want to force me to drink? Hahahahahahahahahahaha Give up! I grew up drinking Erguotou! Yellow, white, beer, and red liquor are invincible!"
"..."
A sudden burst of noise, accompanied by a strong smell of alcohol, rushed out from behind the door.
The smooth floor of the fortress hall was covered with the admirals' clothes, which were scattered haphazardly.
In Xiao Bai's eyes, dozens of burly, naked men were each holding a bottle of beer, raising their hands and cheering at the long table in the center of the hall. On the long table, the male admiral from Chapter 5 last night was only wearing a pair of shorts, raising a mug of draft beer and chugging it down. Under his muscular arms, there was a drunken admiral foaming at the mouth. As he gulped down the draft beer in his hand, he kept striking strange poses that would only be seen in bodybuilding competitions.
"You bunch of idiots, you think you can pull down my pants?! You're all hopeless, next!!!" The male admiral laughed heartily, throwing the beer mug he had chugged in one gulp onto the ground.
"Ha ha ha ha--"
"Wow, this guy is awesome!!! The god of wine is reborn!!"
"Hahahaha, this is supposed to be the admiral of Chapter Seven? He's only at Chapter Five, how can he be so weak? Hahaha—"
"You deserve 5,000 yuan for express repairs?! Hahahaha!"
The naked men in the hall kept mocking the admiral who was foaming at the mouth, and one by one they picked up their beer bottles.
"Next, it's my turn!!"
"Let's do it!"
"……"noob.
Xiao Bai silently closed the hall door.
As the hall doors closed, the noise was also shut out.
After closing the gate, Xiaobai also put a lock on it.
After doing all this, Xiaobai let out a heartfelt sigh.
the man.
What a strange creature.
Chapter 963's foreshadowing is way too far off!
When Xiaobai returned to the fortress gate, Miss Yuge and her subordinates had already been waiting there for a while.
Miss Yuge stood by the door, looking anxiously out the door.
When Xiaobai approached, Miss Yuge turned her head and saw Xiaobai rushing over, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Excellency Lu Lin...where did you go just now?" Miss Yuge asked, patting her chest, still shaken.
Even Xiaobai could see the fine sweat seeping from Miss Yuge's forehead.
"I just went to check how things are in the lobby," Xiaobai said, pointing behind him.
"Ah... I see." Miss Yuge breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought you couldn't wait any longer and left, Lord Lu Lin..."
"I won't leave."
"Um... well, how is things in the lobby now?"
"...The admirals get along very well," Xiaobai replied somewhat subtly.
Yu Ge Xiao Bai couldn't quite understand Xiao Bai's indescribable expression. She nodded and then stretched out her hand in another direction: "Are you all ready? I'll take you to the basement now."
Miss Yuge led Xiaobai and the others deeper into the fortress.
The corridors inside the fortress were winding and twisting, like a maze. Xiao Bai hadn't explored the fortress much before, and now, led by Miss Yuge, Xiao Bai felt as if he had entered the mouth of a python, walking a long way into its depths.
As Xiaobai walked, he noticed that the light around him was getting dimmer.
"Sister Yuge, it's getting dark around us."
“Yes, because we’re heading towards the basement,” Miss Yuge explained to Xiaobai. “It’s a gentle downhill slope. It’s okay, the path will be lit up after that.”
"Uh... the basement, is it underground?"
"Ah."
Xiao Bai looked around at the walls that were gradually taking on a sense of age as he moved forward, and began to take a liking to them.
—This fortress… seems pretty formidable.
The group continued walking for quite a while until they arrived at an iron gate.
Miss Yuge took out a key card from her clothes and swiped it lightly against the iron gate. A series of beeping sounds were heard, and a creaking sound came from inside the iron gate.
Miss Yuge stretched out her hand and, with some effort, pushed towards the iron gate.
The somewhat dilapidated iron gate was pushed open inch by inch by Miss Yuge, revealing a floor that had been swept very clean.
"This is the basement." After pushing open the iron door, Miss Yuge smiled at Xiaobai with some difficulty while panting. "The basement is used to store things that are not usually used, are not very expensive, but have great sentimental value, so don't worry too much about damaging anything. The construction machine is inside, you can see it as soon as you go in. I'll wait for you here."
"Hmm? Sister Yuge, aren't you coming in with us?"
“I can’t go in.” Miss Yuge glanced at Wisconsin somewhat awkwardly.
"……Oh."
—It seems that Miss Yuge has been punished quite severely for her illegal actions in building Wisconsin.
Xiao Bai looked at Yu Ge's innocent smile and suddenly looked down at her fingertips.
Miss Yuge's hands were very delicate and white, with slender and beautiful fingers. However, the tips of her right fingers seemed to be a little dark, and the skin on her fingertips was also worn and red. It looked like she had been in contact with fountain pen ink and writing paper for a long time recently, to the point that she was about to develop calluses.
Miss Yuge isn't a very calm person; even Xiaobai thinks she's unsuitable to be the president. She previously said she was assigned here entirely because the higher-ups saw her as one of the builders of Wisconsin and thought she had good fortune…
But being the president doesn't seem like a desirable position... It would wear down a normal person in twenty years.
Xiao Bai suddenly realized that she was probably serving as the guild leader here to atone for breaking the guild rules...
"Lord Lu Lin?" Miss Yuge blushed and looked away when she saw Xiao Bai staring at her. She awkwardly tidied the hair behind her ear.
"Sister Yuge, I will save you!" Xiaobai clenched his fist and cheered for Miss Yuge.
"what?"
Just as Miss Yuge was wondering what was going on, Xiaobai turned around and walked into the basement with the ship girls behind her.
As soon as I stepped into the basement, the lights inside suddenly turned on.
Xiao Bai looked around and realized that rather than a basement, this place was more like a warehouse for the ship equipment trading shop that the Admiral's Guild had on its own.
The voice-activated lights in the basement showed no signs of disrepair and remained brightly lit. The walls of the spacious basement were adorned with numerous objects.
Xiao Bai glanced casually at the colorful stone hanging on the wall beside him and discovered that the stone was actually a deep-sea metal of the Dean level.
"Huh???"
Xiao Bai stared in surprise at the piece of deep-sea metal and quickly took two steps closer to it.
Just now, Yu Ge said that the things in the basement were just junk with sentimental value. But deep-sea metal of the Deep Sea Dean level is priceless. How could such things be hung with junk?
Xiao Bai walked up to the deep-sea metal.
"This is a deep-sea metal of the Dean level, which was discovered and brought back by the previous president a long time ago. After a long period of research and release, it no longer has the energy of deep-sea metal and is just an ordinary colored stone." Although Miss Yuge at the door could not come in, she still saw that Xiaobai was curious about the deep-sea metal and introduced it to Xiaobai.
After listening, Xiao Bai also observed the deep-sea metal for a while and found that the metal was indeed not very shiny and looked rather dry.
"Oh... so it's just a shell," Xiaobai said knowingly.
