Elder brother's garrison

"I'll have soy milk." The man with the upright gaze of Julius Bahr stared at Jean Bart and spoke.

"Oh? Oh, oh..." Jean Bart blinked, took the coffee cup, leaned against the sofa, and grinned at the oversized man. "Thanks."

On Shenying's side, she just felt a little dizzy, and the coffee cup she had just handed to Chao Yamato disappeared from her hand.

Shenying looked slightly puzzled, but seeing that Super Dahe had no expression on his face, Shenying assumed that Super Dahe had put the coffee cup away and didn't say anything more.

"Speaking of which, when did you all return here?" Eagle asked Montana in a low voice.

"Hmm...while you and your admiral were getting all tangled up?"

"Everyone...did you all hear that?" The Divine Eagle asked softly after a moment of silence.

“No.” Montana smiled and shook her head, taking a sip of her coffee. “I was so busy watching you two bickering that I didn’t pay attention to anything else.”

"so……"

Shenying seemed relieved. She turned her head and glanced at Luo Yingying, who was standing in front of Xiaobai and suffering greatly. Her gaze softened a little.

Shenying wasn't actually worried that Xiaobai had overheard her conversation with Luo Yingying. Based on her experience with Xiaobai, she knew that Xiaobai was magnanimous, considerate, and gentle. The rumors circulating about her among the admirals were mostly unfounded and baseless. As for why her admiral was so afraid of Xiaobai, it was probably due to some misunderstanding. At least in Shenying's eyes, Xiaobai was far from as terrible as her admiral described. She was a reliable companion whom one could entrust their back to with peace of mind.

But...

That being said, Lu Lin's fear of being an admiral isn't something that can be cured in a day or two...

In comparison, if Admiral Lu Lin hadn't heard the conversation just now, it would definitely be a more reassuring and sleep-inducing thing for his admiral.

While Shenying was quietly talking with the ship girls, Xiaobai finally put down the recent Admiral Guild report.

Xiao Bai smiled slightly at Luo Yingying and praised her.

"Hmm, I've finished reading it. The Admiral's Guild has been operating quite well lately. You did a great job, Miss Yingying."

"I am so grateful..." Luo Yingying finally breathed a sigh of relief, raising her hand to her chest as if a great weight had been lifted from her shoulders. "It's all...it's all thanks to the good foundation you laid before, President Lu Lin...I was just faithfully carrying out your ideas..."

“There’s no need to be so polite. I’ve seen it. Miss Yingying, you’ve organized several admiral events recently, which have effectively motivated admirals to go on expeditions. The commendation actions for admirals with outstanding expedition results have also been implemented.” Xiaobai said as she stood up. “In addition, you have improved the conditions and rules for expeditions in some sea areas and added a few sea routes. These are all very good management achievements.”

Xiao Bai couldn't help but sigh as he spoke.

"As expected of the candidate strongly recommended by Sister Ringo, as a subordinate, Miss Yingying, your professional skills are really excellent. I feel that as long as you are here in Chapter 8, it should be no problem at all if I disappear for ten days, half a month, or even several months or half a year."

Chapter 3763 The Most Important Person

Xiao Bai's words were a heartfelt expression of admiration for Luo Yingying's strong professional skills.

But when Xiao Bai said this, Luo Yingying was stunned and her eyes widened.

Luo Yingying stood there dumbfounded, her mouth slightly open. For a moment, it seemed as if an endless universe and galaxy passed behind her, and everyone in the office seemed to hear the sound of her desperately thinking.

"Wait...wait a minute!"

Luo Yingying quickly spoke up, interrupting Xiaobai.

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Xiaobai looked at Luo Yingying curiously.

"President Lu...President Lu Lin...you...you're mistaken..." Luo Yingying swallowed nervously, then exclaimed loudly, "This...this eighth chapter can't do without you!"

“…Huh?” Xiaobai was taken aback.

"In the end... I was just performing the most ordinary management tasks!" Before Xiaobai could react, Luo Yingying immediately put one hand to her chest, glared at Xiaobai, and said, "My role is merely to act as a basic cog in the machine to keep this guild running. Perhaps I'm a bit more diligent than others, but there are far too many people in this world who can replace me! Even if Guild Leader Lu Lin were to do all my work, she would do it faster and better! But Guild Leader Lu Lin, you are different; your role is irreplaceable!"

"……Forehead……"

"As the highest-level sea area that our human faction can control, Chapter Eight's understanding and development of this sea area is far less profound than the previous seven. As you know, since Chapter Eight opened, this sea area has repeatedly encountered many special problems that ordinary admirals find difficult to solve! For example, the ridiculously powerful Montana, the sea-related mystical events, the mysterious submarine a few days ago, and so on..."

Luo Yingying kept saying to Xiaobai,

"In short, Chapter Eight is a special sea area that you were entrusted with in a time of crisis. This sea area still has many mysteries and is far from being as peaceful and safe as other sea areas. Who knows when some problems might arise... If it weren't for the severe lack of deep-sea energy in Chapter Six, and the admirals' urgent need for a better leveling ground, Chapter Eight wouldn't have been opened to the guild so quickly... Perhaps it's better when it doesn't cause any trouble and behaves itself, but if any special situation arises, in this sea area... in this world! The only person who can solve those problems is Guild Leader Lu Lin! I believe that it was precisely for this reason that the Admiral Guild bestowed the title of Guild Leader of Chapter Eight upon you!"

Luo Yingying spoke so fluently and seamlessly that Xiaobai didn't even have a chance to interrupt before listening to her speech in a daze.

After Luo Yingying finished speaking, she took a deep breath, then patted her chest very seriously and gave her final summary to Xiaobai.

"In short, President Lu Lin, I only have one point to make, and that is! Compared to you, my existence is utterly insignificant!" Luo Yingying said quite solemnly, "When things really come to a critical point in this sea area, we'll still have to rely on you!"

Luo Yingying's words were forceful and resounding.

The people in the room remained quiet, watching Luo Yingying's undeniably heroic expression.

"Um... okay, okay... I understand..." Xiaobai opened her mouth, smiled shyly at Luo Yingying, and scratched her cheek, saying, "Well... you don't have to praise me like that... but thank you for thinking of me like that, Miss Yingying... I'm a little touched."

"……call……"

Luo Yingying smiled as she looked at Xiaobai, and she breathed a sigh of relief, lowering her head.

Before she knew it, Luo Yingying felt her back was soaked with cold sweat.

Xiao Bai's words just now really scared Luo Yingying to death...

The implication of what President Lu Lin said was that she was subtly warning him that he had recently become too prominent and overshadowed the leader...

What good will come of someone whose achievements overshadow their master?

This terrified Luo Yingying. In that instant, she even thought about what color flowers to put on her own grave. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and immediately expressed her loyalty to Xiaobai, elaborating on the point that she was just an insignificant subordinate, while President Lu Lin was the most important person.

……

As for Xiaobai, she had no idea what Luo Yingying was thinking, but she knew that Xiaobai was genuinely praising Luo Yingying without any other intentions.

However, Xiao Bai didn't expect that after he had just praised Luo Yingying a couple of times, Luo Yingying would immediately launch into a big counter-praise, which made Xiao Bai feel embarrassed.

That’s all.

Perhaps Miss Yingying is genuinely humble and loves her work.

Xiao Bai didn't say anything more. After putting down her work documents, she looked at Luo Yingying's face and thought for a long time.

And judging from her expression and mental state just now, she was actually more active than before when I wasn't in Chapter Eight...

From this perspective, perhaps Luo Yingying... must be extremely passionate about her job in Chapter Eight. The job makes her happy, keeps her healthy, and fills her with energy.

In short, Xiaobai now understands that this Chapter 8 guild... at least under normal circumstances, is completely unrelated to him.

With Luo Yingying by herself, she is fully capable of arranging all the affairs of the entire eighth chapter when she is not around. In fact, as Luo Yingying just said, as the guild leader, she only needs to come and handle the difficulties encountered in the eighth chapter. At other times, she only needs to come and check the reports every once in a while to make sure that the guild is operating smoothly, and then she can relax and be a hands-off manager.

Having figured this out, Xiaobai suddenly felt much freer.

The world is so vast now!

It seems she no longer needs to stay in Chapter 8 every day; she can freely travel between the garrison and Chapter 8, staying wherever she wants.

"Miss Yingying, thank you so much." Thinking of this, Xiaobai smiled and looked up to thank Luo Yingying.

"Huh? What?" Luo Yingying stood there stunned.

"I'll need your help with Chapter Eight from now on," Xiaobai said with a smile. "If you encounter any difficulties, remember to call me."

“Uh? Oh… okay… okay…” Luo Yingying replied woodenly.

Xiaobai smiled and waved to Luo Yingying, then led the ship girls towards the door.

"Ah! President Lu Lin, I'll hand over the work documents to you in the office hall later..." Luo Yingying said hurriedly as soon as she saw Xiao Bai leave.

"I'll leave it to you for now. I think I'll have to go out again this afternoon." Xiaobai turned around and said to Luo Yingying with a smile, "I'll leave the guild to you."

"Eh? Are you going out again?"

"Yes...you'll have to work hard again, Miss Yingying."

"No, it's nothing, it's what I should do..." Luo Yingying lowered her hands and murmured softly.

Xiao Bai waved goodbye to Shen Ying and Luo Yingying in the office. Montana put down his coffee cup and praised the coffee for its rich aroma and sweetness before everyone left.

Xiao Bai and his group came like the wind, and then they left like the wind.

Shenying hurriedly saw Xiaobai and her group out. When she returned, she found that there was another empty coffee cup on the table.

With a puzzled look, Shenying picked up the empty coffee cup. It seemed to be the same cup she had given to Super Yamato before. Later, the cup mysteriously disappeared from Super Yamato's hands, but then inexplicably reappeared after they left.

Strange thing...

Shenying put down his cup and looked at his admiral.

Luo Yingying was still standing in front of the door, stunned, only her back was visible, and her expression was not clear.

"Admiral?" the condor called.

“…Divine Eagle…did you hear that?” Luo Yingying responded, “…Admiral Lu Lin said she’s going out again.”

"Hmm...yes." Shenying thought for a moment and nodded. "The workload will be on your shoulders again, Admiral..."

"……hey-hey."

"...?"

Suddenly, a laugh reached the ears of the divine eagle.

Shenying, who was tidying up the table, was taken aback. She looked up and stared at Luo Yingying's back with a puzzled expression.

"Admiral... are you laughing?" Shenying asked.

Luo responded softly and finally slowly turned her head.

What came into the Divine Eagle's view was a beautiful face with an irrepressible smile, her slender hands cupping her rosy cheeks.

Luo Yingying's rosy lips parted slightly, her bright eyes were filled with intoxication, and a blush almost filled her cheeks. Her eyes conveyed joy.

Luo Yingying's smile was simply too radiant.

"Hehe... President Lu Lin... is going out on business again... Now I can go to work alone again... It's so nice to be alone... It's so nice..."

"...Admiral, watch your expression, your expression..."

"Slurp. I can enjoy working overtime tonight again..."

"Admiral, please take a rest..."

"Shenying, could you buy me a portable sleeping bag later? I want to hang it in my office."

"..." Divine Eagle.

Shenying sighed, rubbing her forehead. Looking at her admiral's seemingly celebratory expression, she was at a loss for words.

……

After leaving Luo Yingying's office, Xiaobai first went to her own office hall with the ship girls.

Although Xiaobai is not in the Admiral's Guild, it doesn't mean that her office is unvisited—in fact, Xiaobai's office is arguably the liveliest place in the entire eighth chapter.

As Xiaobai and his group entered the office lobby by elevator, a fresh floral fragrance wafted out as soon as the elevator doors opened. Accompanied by the playful sounds of girls singing like nightingales, and colorful ship girl figures coming and going, it felt as if they were in a spring garden.

Chapter 3764 Hula Hoop

Xiaobai's office hall has now become a playground for the ship girls.

The space here is spacious and well-stocked, with all kinds of entertainment facilities and indoor landscapes. Even if Xiaobai himself is not here, the various functional areas in the hall still maintain normal operation under the support of the Admiral Guild.

Since the completion of the main hall, the ship girls of the new naval base have been quite fond of this special territory that is full of fun and freedom. Even though few ship girls choose to live here for a long time, most ship girls would definitely not resist treating it as a vacation destination and occasionally coming here to visit and enjoy a few comfortable days when they have free time.

"It seems the office area is quite popular when the admiral isn't here..."

"After all, there's everything here, and everyone here is one of our own, so we can relax and have more fun."

"Montana, if you say that, does that mean you come here often too?"

"I don't have any."

"Oh right... You still have to spend time with your ship girl sisters."

The ship girls behind Xiaobai watched the lively scene in the office hall and chatted among themselves.

Xiaobai smiled slightly as she listened to the chatter of the ship girls behind her.

As soon as Xiaobai stepped out of the elevator, her gaze seemed to be drawn to something, and she subconsciously looked towards the distance.

Then, Xiaobai saw Iowa.

As the secretary ship of Xiaobai's admiral guild, it is quite reasonable for Iowa to appear here.

Xiao Bai stared intently toward Iowa.

In Xiaobai's view, Iowa was sitting leisurely on the floor near the elevator, drinking tea alone and quietly enjoying her tranquil life.

She brought out a set of black desks and chairs from somewhere and occupied a small corner near the elevator. At this moment, she sipped her tea, her gentle gaze falling on the destroyers chasing and playing near the landscape trees, a peaceful smile on her face.

Iowa quickly noticed the arrival of Xiaobai and his group.

Before Xiaobai could even raise her hand to greet Iowa, Iowa's gaze had already subtly shifted from the playful destroyers. She turned her head towards Xiaobai's direction. After recognizing Xiaobai and the ship girls beside her, she smiled, put down her teacup, and gracefully stood up from behind her desk.
