“I’ll try my best,” Montana said, looking up and smiling.
Xiaobai pursed her lips. She thought for a while. When Montana admitted defeat, there seemed to be a strange cracking sensation in the surrounding air. Then Xiaobai felt a little relieved. The Admiral Network in her palm surged out and entered Montana's body.
Montana sensed Little White's admiral network; her brow twitched slightly, then she lowered her head and closed her eyes.
After a while.
Xiaobai left a mental imprint inside Montana's ship equipment, and then slowly let go.
Montana finally breathed a sigh of relief, raised his eyes, and smiled slightly at Little White.
"Now, I have finally ended my thousand-year journey and returned to my port." Montana slowly stood up and said to Little White with a light smile.
"So... how does it feel to be back in the port area?" Xiaobai put down his hand and asked Montana.
“It’s all so fresh and exciting.” Montana looked around at the crowd, her eyes filled with satisfaction. “It seems I need the Admiral to guide me through this new world.”
"No problem, leave it to me."
"Oh, right, there's one more."
"Ok?"
Montana looked down at Little White with a helpless expression.
"You were too despicable, Admiral, in that battle just now."
Chapter 3074 The Relationship Between Nanxing and Xiaobai
"You were too despicable, Admiral, in that battle just now."
Montana seemed to have finally lost his temper and started complaining to Xiaobai.
After listening to Montana's complaints, Xiaobai couldn't help but chuckle.
"Missiles... well, that's how they are. They're not very romantic in battle." Xiaobai said, then smiled at Montana. "But if we don't go to this level, how can we beat you? Don't be fooled by how simple those missiles look. They're the result of several days of training by our entire naval base, with everyone working together as one."
"So, it seems I'm quite valued by the Admiral?" Montana inquired.
"With your looks... it would be hard for you not to be noticed."
As Xiaobai and Montana were chatting, excited and eager shouts came from the crowd behind them.
"Sweetie! Sweetie!"
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!"
Xiaobai and Montana looked toward the source of the sound.
The top ten admirals were hurrying towards him. The leader, Admiral Haoding, ran while laughing loudly. Admiral Lian, beside him, ran while waving her snow-white arm in Xiaobai's direction, looking very happy.
"Ah, Admiral Haoding, Sister Lian, you're here." Xiaobai smiled at the top ten admirals, then looked at the others and gave them a victory sign with a peace sign. "Sister Ling, Sister Duan, and Sister Nanxing, I won."
"My little cutie—you're amazing!"
Admiral Lian and Admiral Ling rushed forward, grabbed Little White and hugged it tightly, rubbing their foreheads against it.
"I never expected you to defeat Montana using such a method! Well done, you did a great job! Missiles truly are the world's number one attack method. But what was with that pretty lady in white just now? How did she suddenly fly up while we were firing? And then she disappeared without a trace! How strange, how amazing!"
Xiao Bai's face was instantly buried in Admiral Lian's chest.
Xiaobai was also surrounded by Admiral Ling from behind, as if he was about to be swallowed up by the two of them.
"Hahaha!" Admiral Haoding's brisk running did not affect his laughter at all. He stopped in front of Xiaobai, gave him a bright smile, and gave him a thumbs up. "Admiral Lu Lin, well done!"
"Mmm-mmm-mmm—" Little White stammered in Admiral Lian's arms.
Duan Shuiliu, unusually, did not separate Admiral Lian and Xiaobai. She walked up to Xiaobai, reached into Admiral Lian's arms, and patted Xiaobai's head.
"Congratulations," Duan Shuiliu said.
"Uh-huh-huh—" Xiaobai stammered in response.
After a while, Admiral Lian and Admiral Ling finally released Xiaobai.
Having regained his freedom, Xiaobai touched his nose and smiled sheepishly at everyone.
"Um... thank you everyone," Xiaobai said to the crowd.
"Hmph, we should be thanking you! Except for Nanxing and Ling, everyone else here got thoroughly thrashed by the salvage ship girl. You helped us defeat her, it was like you really vented our anger!" Admiral Lian said to Xiaobai, then looked at Montana standing behind her. Admiral Lian immediately became interested, stepped forward, and unabashedly met Montana's gaze with her hands on her hips. "Hmm—you're the salvage ship girl who tortured our Chapter 8 admirals, aren't you! I'll remember you! I'll remember you perfectly!"
“…Hello.” Montana smiled slightly. “You are…the admiral who is skilled at using aircraft carrier ship girls, right? The battle with you was very good. You are a very admirable opponent.”
"Hey, what's wrong with you? You recognize me?"
“I identify the naval base by the admiral’s network aura within the ship girls.” Montana gently raised his hand and pressed it against the goggles by his ear. “So… naturally, this method can also be used to determine the affiliation of the admiral and the ship girls. But in the end, it’s because the memory you left me is more profound.”
Admiral Lian was immediately pleased with Montana's words.
This was a formidable opponent from Chapter 8, after all. To be praised by such a powerful Montana made even the last shred of resentment in Admiral Lian's heart disappear.
What an easy woman to deal with.
“Montana, I’ve fought you before, and I’m glad to have the opportunity to spar with such a powerful opponent!” Admiral Haoding said earnestly to Montana, extending his hand.
"You must be the admiral of the ship girl with the sword and shield armor?" Montana looked at Admiral Haoding, shook hands with him, and said with a smile, "Your ship girl team is excellent, and I admire the leadership qualities of that ship girl with the sword and shield armor."
"Hahaha! I'll pass those words on to Elizabeth for you!"
Admiral Haoding let go and said happily to Montana.
He's such an easy man to please.
Montana looked at the others, her gaze sweeping over Admiral Ling, and after a brief nod to Admiral Ling, she looked at Duan Shuiliu.
Duan Shuiliu had no intention of greeting Montana; she simply stood there quietly. It was Montana who took the initiative to approach her.
Montana looked at Duan Shuiliu, and the two looked at each other and nodded slightly.
Montana actually had deep feelings about this admiral who had forced himself into the second stage for the first time.
If it weren't for Xiaobai, Duan Shuiliu would have inevitably become the admiral who defeated Montana and then gained her ownership... But unfortunately, Montana met Xiaobai earlier, and whether from a subjective or objective point of view, Montana now completely belongs to Xiaobai.
Finally, Montana looked away.
As he retrieved it, Montana's gaze swept over Nanxing.
The moment Montana saw Nanxing, she showed a hint of curiosity. She stared thoughtfully at Nanxing's body and her admiral's uniform, as if she was pondering something.
Seeing that Montana was staring at Nanxing, Xiaobai smiled and introduced her to her.
“Montana, this is Admiral Nanxing.”
"...Admiral?"
"Yes."
“…I see. My apologies for my rudeness just now.” Montana smiled slightly and nodded to Nanxing.
Nanxing nodded slightly, her gaze fixed on Xiaobai, seemingly not wanting to engage in further conversation.
"Hahaha! Admiral Lu Lin, you don't need to worry too much about us. You just recruited Montana, and there's still a lot to do on the beach. The Admiral's Guild is also incredibly busy." Admiral Hao Ding said to Xiao Bai with a smile, "Admiral Lu Lin, feel free to go back to the naval base if you want. We'll come to visit you again after you've finished the onboarding procedures for the salvaged ship girls!"
"Oh, okay then!" Xiaobai smiled. "I'll head back to the temporary garrison with Meng Dan. See you all later."
"Goodbye, Admiral Lu Lin!"
"Goodbye, my little cutie!! I'll come find you!"
"..."
After saying goodbye to the admirals, Little White led Montana toward the exit of Beach 8-2.
Along the way, all eyes were fixed on Xiaobai and Montana, but no one stopped Xiaobai from moving forward.
Montana kept a distance of less than two steps, following behind Little White.
Before leaving the beach, Montana turned back and gazed thoughtfully at the location where the ten admirals were.
Montana's gaze lingered on Nanxing for quite a while.
"……"Montana.
"Nanxing is very pretty, isn't she? She also has a great figure."
Behind Montana came Little White's laughter.
Montana paused for a moment, then turned to look at Little White, who was smiling at her.
“Admiral, I’m not being a womanizer,” Montana chuckled.
“I know, Nanxing is naturally very eye-catching, this is a normal reaction.” Xiaobai said to Montana with her hands behind her back, “And I like Nanxing a lot too! I’m the kind of person who always wants to keep looking at her when I’m with her! I completely understand how you feel!”
“…Hmm, I see.” Montana tapped his chin, looking at Xiaobai’s expression. “That’s the reason…?”
"Hmm? What's the reason?"
"Admiral, didn't I just say that I can use this to identify the admiral's network inside the ship girl?" Montana pointed to his goggles.
"That's one of those things," Xiaobai nodded, then asked curiously, "What's wrong with it?"
"..."
Montana glanced at the crowd around her, then slowly took two steps closer and whispered in Little White's ear.
Montana lowered his voice.
“Admiral… I sensed the presence of your Admiral Network within that Admiral Nanxing’s body.”
"what?"
Xiao Bai stopped and looked at Montana in surprise.
Montana straightened up and returned to a position two steps away from Little White.
Xiao Bai stared blankly at Montana.
"……real?"
“Yes, really.” Montana nodded.
"Hmm...this...Wu Yiqi Baba Lingqi Liu (1)...Hmm...it might be..." Xiao Bai squinted, thought for a while, "Could it be a sequela left over from when I treated Sister Nanxing before? Or a sequela of when I accidentally transferred my spiritual power into Sister Nanxing's body last time?"
"..." Montana looked at Little White with curiosity, "Admiral, you seem to have a very close relationship with this admiral."
"not bad."
"How far along is it on the journey?"
"That means we were completely honest with each other, and we saw and touched every part of each other's bodies!"
“...That’s really something.” Montana’s expression remained unchanged, but his eyes were full of laughter.
"Montana, don't get the wrong idea... Nanxing and I are just super close sisters." Xiaobai stopped and reiterated to Montana.
"Yes, I know." Montana still smiled.
That smile has a touch of Missouri and Iowa's charm.
“I can’t wait to take you back to the temporary garrison. The people there must be really looking forward to seeing you in person,” Xiaobai said.
“I’m also looking forward to it…and I’d also like to see those guys who kept shooting missiles at me before,” Montana said earnestly.
Chapter 3075 A Meeting Between Special Ship Girls
"I didn't expect you to be interested in the people in our naval base before you've even officially entered it." After hearing Montana's words, Xiaobai couldn't help but give her a sweet smile. "That's great, that's great!"
“The Admiral is absolutely right.” Montana smiled and nodded at Little White. “I have a feeling I will have a very engaging conversation with them.”
Xiao Bai and Montana exchanged glances and nodded, then headed towards the temporary garrison.
The news that the newbie naval base had defeated Montana and captured him spread very quickly. Before the newbie even left the beach, the admirals in the city had already received the news and started cheering on both sides of the street like they were welcoming a victorious warrior.
Xiaobai originally wanted to take Montana on a short tour of the city before bringing her home, introducing her to the various streets and buildings of this Chapter 8. However, seeing the excitement of the crowd around them, Xiaobai thought it over and decided to do so another day. For now, it would be better to bring Montana back to the naval base first.
Step up.
Little White and Montana returned to the temporary garrison.
"Is this the Admiral's naval base?" Montana glanced at the temporary naval base behind Xiaobai and said to him, "This building is much larger than the other buildings we've seen on the road. It looks very impressive. It's no wonder it's the naval base of the world's number one admiral."
"Haha... Thank you for the compliment." Little White turned around and smiled at Montana. "But strictly speaking, this is not my garrison."
"Huh? Isn't it?"
“The real newbie naval base—ah, our naval base—is actually in a very, very far place, in a small city,” Xiaobai said to Montana. “This is just a temporary residence, and it doesn’t belong to me alone. Besides me, there are two other girls who live here long-term.”
"Hmm... roommate?"
