Elder brother's garrison

Page 731

Bai Ying sat on the edge of the bed, holding a rice bowl, quietly eating her meal.

It was as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with her.

A gentle breeze blew, causing the waist-length white hair to sway, softly stirring the nurse's heart.

The nurse's face flushed slightly.

As Bai Ying was chewing, her eyes slowly turned toward the nurse who was watching her.

—It was a very pure and quiet gaze.

The nurse's face turned pale instantly.

She quickly lowered her head, grabbed a handful of broken pieces of trash from the ground, and chased after the nurse who was being carried away as if her life depended on it.

Chapter 967 Little White, you still say you can't salvage a ship?

Having obtained the necessary information, Xiaobai and Ella had no reason to stay in the city any longer. They returned to the fortress, first briefly said goodbye to Miss Yuge, then packed their belongings and left the fortress.

Just as he stepped out of the fortress gate, Xiaobai turned back and glanced at the end of the road.

A ship girl in a black robe was hiding behind a big tree, watching them suspiciously.

In the end, Xiaobai still didn't get to chat or interact with this ship girl up close. But since she's a ship girl from the Ella family, Xiaobai will probably have a chance to meet her again sooner or later.

With that in mind, Xiaobai didn't remind Ella of her existence and left the fortress with her, heading towards the city center.

Because the decision to leave was made at the last minute, and the destination was different from what they had planned, Xiaobai and Ella had to wait an extra one or two hours near the train station after buying their tickets, even though they were taking different trains.

After a brief discussion, Xiaobai and Ella decided to find a place to rest.

……

"Ring ring ring————"

The crisp sound of a bell ringing at the entrance of the coffee shop next to the train station signaled the arrival of a new customer.

"welcome."

Inside the coffee shop, a young girl who was quietly wiping plates at the counter smiled at Xiaobai at the door. She put down the plate, trotted over from behind the counter to the door, and bowed to Xiaobai.

"Good afternoon, store manager." Xiaobai smiled at the store manager.

"What would you like to order, customer?"

"The usual. Oh, and rabbits too."

"Okay, please wait a moment." The shop manager chuckled, covered his mouth, reached out and took the rabbit off his head, handed it to Xiaobai, and then turned and walked into the kitchen behind the counter.

During their week-long break, since a lot had happened here, and the service and product quality were good, Xiaobai and Ella frequented this coffee shop quite often when they passed by.

Over time, people started using facial recognition to become regular customers. Xiaobai even got to pet the shop owner's pet rabbit a little while he was having coffee, which was really great.

Little White sat down at the counter, hugging the rabbit with a happy expression, burying her face in the snow-white, fluffy rabbit's belly.

After a while, the store manager came out from behind the kitchen carrying several trays of cakes and handed them out to the appropriate people, categorizing them by type.

"There are a lot of customers today." After delivering the cake, the store manager walked to the coffee machine and busied himself with its operation.

"Well, I've almost finished what I was doing in this city. I was originally waiting for the train, but I thought I'd come here to say goodbye," Xiaobai said, stroking the rabbit.

"Ah, it seems I'll be quite lonely from now on." The shop manager's calm voice held a hint of disappointment.

"...By the way, are you the only one in the store today, manager?"

"Yes, Blaine resigned yesterday."

"Ah, that's true, after all, the banquet started last night."

"..." The store manager looked at Xiaobai with some anticipation.

"That admiral is being welcomed by everyone else at the banquet right now." Xiao Bai assured him that what he said was indeed true; the admiral was currently engaging in a lively debate with the assembled guests, thanks to his liver's ability to withstand alcohol.

"I see." The shop manager smiled, seemingly pleased that the admiral whom Blaine liked was out of trouble. "Which picture would you like for your coffee mocha this time?"

"I want someone who looks incredibly strong!"

"Okay." The shop manager, carrying the equipment, bent down and marked the coffee cups in front of him one by one, then pushed the cups of coffee mocha in front of Xiaobai and the others. "This is your sealed left arm, sealed right arm, sealed left foot, sealed right foot, and sealed Exodia."

There are only four of us...

"It's okay, the rest of the coffee is on me." The manager smiled happily at Xiaobai.

"Thanks--"

Xiao Bai genuinely felt that it seemed like this store had never considered making money.

He picked up the coffee cup, brought the sealed Exodia to his lips, and took a gentle sip. A rich, sweet flavor filled Xiaobai's mouth.

The atmosphere in the coffee shop was very relaxed, making Xiaobai feel extremely comfortable.

Xiao Bai put down her coffee cup and hummed happily.

Previously, because the momentum of ship-farming was too strong, several truckloads of ship girls were brought back at once, which made Lexington quite helpless and indirectly hint to Xiaobai to restrain his ship-farming motivation. As a result, Xiaobai was quite restrained this time.

It seems I really only brought back one ship girl from Wisconsin on this trip.

See, this is what it means to be obsessed with salvaging ships.

Even if I wanted to, I could still manage to bring back the naval base without retrieving any extra ships.

While eating the cake, Xiaobai was slightly smug.

"Oh, right, speaking of which, shop manager, do you go to school?" Xiaobai suddenly asked the shop manager curiously.

"I'm about to start junior high."

"First year of junior high... Why does the shop owner have to open a shop when the shop is in school?"

“It’s a way of commemorating someone.” The shop manager smiled at Xiaobai. “Besides, you can actually make a lot of money by opening a shop next to the train station. You can buy a lot of gifts you want.”

"In that case...would you still have time to hang out with your friends?"

"...I basically have no friends. I spend most of my time working."

"Oh, oh... After all, there are a lot of tourists here..."

"Hmm, this city's economy is really developed," the shopkeeper remarked softly. "This is all thanks to the help provided by the deep-sea ships by the sea."

"..." Xiaobai, with a fork in her mouth, glanced at the manager, "...it might get quiet in a year."

"Ok?"

"Ahem." Xiaobai chuckled. "A year from now, there will probably be far fewer deep-sea ships by the sea, and it might not be so easy to make money here then."

"..." The store manager looked at Xiaobai with slight surprise, "I see... Oh."

Xiaobai's identity is that of an admiral, a fact that the shop manager is well aware of, so Xiaobai's statements are highly credible to the shop manager.

However... even if it's just what Xiaobai said, it won't be so quick for the shopkeeper to believe that the number of Deepsea Abyssal Ships will decrease.

Fortunately, Xiaobai didn't intend to force an explanation to the store manager. After giving the store manager a gentle smile, she didn't say anything more.

"Manager, your cake is delicious."

"Thank you."

"It will be really lonely if I can't eat it anymore."

"..." The shop manager smiled quietly at Xiaobai.

Half an hour later, Xiaobai and the others, having finished enjoying their meal, put down their cutlery, returned the rabbit to the manager, and solemnly bid her farewell before leaving the coffee shop.

The shop manager, holding the rabbit, waved goodbye to the departing crowd.

"Ring ring ring————"

The crisp sound, a symbol of departure, echoed through the coffee shop once again from the main entrance.

The shop manager, holding the rabbit in his arms, stood in front of the counter, silently watching the coffee shop's entrance for a long time.

"—It's going to be quiet again."

With a somewhat lonely sigh, the shopkeeper stroked the rabbit's head, then came back to the counter.

The store manager pulled a business card out from under the counter.

Xiaobai handed this business card to the store manager to introduce himself during one of his previous visits.

The store manager looked at the address of the newbie naval base under the business card and thought for a while.

"...That's a really strange name."

"...Will the number of deep-sea amphibious ships decrease...?"

"……Um……"

The store manager put down his business card, then looked up at the ceiling while holding a rabbit.

Compared to bustling cities, I definitely prefer the slightly more secluded, yet more charming, country lanes...

Perhaps I'll find work partners there...

The shop manager reached out and gently stroked the rabbit in his arms.

"……grandfather."

"...How about we move?"

The sun gradually rose to its zenith.

Sunlight streamed into the bedroom.

It illuminated Mu Yu's desk.

Mu Yu covered his face with a serious expression, staring at the documents on the table in deep thought.

Since introducing Wisconsin to the other admirals at yesterday's banquet, Mu Yu has been deep in thought ever since he returned to his bedroom.

The Pacific Governor said he hadn't slept all night, having been thinking about a very serious problem.

That is, how to exercise one's rights openly and fairly, to abuse one's power for the newbie naval base, and to push the ownership of Wisconsin into the hands of the newbie naval base.

"Sigh... Little White doesn't seem to care much about Wisconsin." Mu Yu covered her face with a bit of worry. "Why don't we just find some excuse to eliminate that group and leave only Little White?"

"Hmm... elimination... selection..."

"How about we hold a competition?"

"Hmm, I'm thinking this might work. Since Yuge doesn't want to work overtime lately, let's hold a deep-sea hunting competition on the surface of the sea. The first-place winner gets a chance to meet Wisconsin, and everyone else will have to sit on the bench... Ah, that sounds great. Plus, the top ten naval bases can qualify without even having to compete. Hehehe, anyway, only Little White Sister is from the top ten naval bases this time, so I feel really good about this... This way, no matter what Little White Sister does, I can still manage to send Wisconsin there..."

"That's it!"

Mu Yu slapped his thigh, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

"Hehehe... Little White Sister will really have to admire me this time. From now on, I'll improve her bad image of me and become a warm and caring older brother in no time!"

"Hahahaha, I'm a genius!"

Mu Yu happily held up the documents, and like a child, she opened the door and ran out of the room, heading towards the hall.

Running like a whirlwind, Mu Yu kicked open the hall door.

“Listen up, you guys inside! I’ve got a brilliant idea! Regarding the ownership of Wisconsin, I think we should…”

"Hahahaha, not a single one of you can fight back. Are you all so curious about the length of my penis? If I showed it, it would scare you to death!"

"Wow, you're awesome! You're amazing!"

Before Mu Yu could finish speaking, a strange scene came into Mu Yu's view in the hall: a group of naked men surrounding a muscular middle-aged man carrying a wine jar with a ferocious expression.

"..."

"Isn't there anyone who can fight?! Who else is there?!" The naked men roared around, their eyes flashing with ferocity as they surveyed their surroundings.

Then, the patrol came to Mu Yu, who was standing at the entrance of the hall, looking haggard from staying up all night.

“…Holy crap.” Mu Yu instinctively sensed a threat.

"Isn't this... the Governor!"

"Oh ho ho ho ho ho the Governor is here..."

The naked men chuckled and walked towards Mu Yu step by step.

Mu Yu retreated step by step.
