Elder brother's garrison

So the guest that Admiral Lu Lin was receiving was the world's fourth-ranked admiral!

OMG!

"Hahaha! Admiral Fang Jie, it's been a few days! I didn't expect to meet you here!"

Just as Admiral Fang Jie was dumbfounded, Admiral Hao Ding walked up to him and patted him on the back with a big laugh.

Hao Ding's strength was exceptionally solid and heavy; with each slap, Fang Jie felt as if he were about to fall apart.

“You…you…it’s actually you…” Admiral Fang Jie trembled all over.

In Admiral Fang Jie's mind, the top ten admirals... especially Admiral Hao Ding, who is considered a top-tier admiral even within the entire top ten, are rarely seen on ordinary days. Even though he had met Fang Jie and Admiral Lu Lin once, and had been exceptionally enthusiastic towards Admiral Lu Lin at the time, Fang Jie frankly believed that it was all because Admiral Nia had obtained a special ship girl and would eventually become one of the world's top ten admirals. Admiral Hao Ding therefore regarded Admiral Lu Lin as someone of equal status. Now that Admiral Nia and Admiral Lu Lin have developed a rift, and the top ten status is still far from certain, someone of Admiral Hao Ding's stature should naturally lose interest in Admiral Lu Lin and wait for the dust to settle.

So why exactly is Admiral Haoding here?

Chapter 2798 Private Business Card

Just as Admiral Fang Jie was staring blankly at Admiral Hao Ding in front of him, completely puzzled, suddenly, another clear voice rang out.

"Huh? Haoding, is this the person you mentioned before?" A golden figure emerged nimbly from behind Haoding. A beautiful female admiral with a high golden ponytail stared curiously at Fang Jie and poked Haoding's arm to ask.

For a fleeting moment, Admiral Fang Jie's gaze was drawn to this beautiful and lively female admiral.

The moment Admiral Fang Jie noticed the female admiral's appearance, he, who was already extremely shocked, gasped and his pupils contracted sharply.

—I actually recognize the female admiral standing next to Admiral Haoding!

—She was also one of the top ten admirals!

"Lotus...Lotus...Admiral?" Admiral Fang Jie stood there dumbfounded, as if in a dream, stammering out his words.

"Oh? You know me?" Admiral Lian looked at Fang Jie and gave him a faint smile. "Hello, little brother who's good at math?"

It really is Admiral Ren...

Since Admiral Ren is also here, doesn't that mean she's like her twin sister, Admiral Ling...?

Admiral Fang Jie subconsciously searched his surroundings, and then, with a sudden cardiac arrest, he indeed found Admiral Ling not far from Admiral Lian.

Furthermore, Admiral Fang Jie also saw a tall, red-haired female admiral with a fair and delicate face next to Admiral Ling, as well as a female admiral with black hair and black eyes and a calm and composed expression. At the same time, both admirals turned their gazes to Admiral Fang Jie, and their eyes met.

Are Admiral Nanxing, who is also among the top ten admirals, and Senior Sister Duan Shuiliu, who is known as the "Wall of Sighs" among the top ten, also here?

In other words... five out of the top ten admirals are currently visiting Admiral Lu Lin's home.

boom----

Admiral Fang Jie felt as if an explosion had occurred in his brain, and in an instant, all his thoughts vanished.

What kind of people are the top ten admirals?

That is the ultimate pursuit of admirals, the title of the ten most powerful admirals in the world. They are the white moonlight of all admirals, the stars of admirals, the idols of admirals, and legendary figures who become the focus of attention as long as they exist, giving people an infinite sense of security!

Even for the admirals of Chapter 8, seeing any one of them on a normal day is incredibly difficult, let alone seeing all five of them together now...

What's happening here?

Admiral Fang Jie doesn't understand!

Even if Admiral Nia has the potential to become one of the top ten admirals in the future, she is still just an ordinary admiral at the moment! Admiral Nia is far from being one of the top ten admirals in terms of both strength and courage. So where does she get the face to make five of the top ten admirals at the top of the world condescend to come to her home as guests?

Could it be... that special ship girls really are that attractive?

"Ah, he seems to be stunned." Admiral Ling couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh as she looked at Admiral Fang Jie, whose eyes were unfocused due to his frantic thinking.

"Hahaha! We're not demons or monsters, how could we scare anyone!" Admiral Haoding laughed heartily. "Admiral Fang Jie is probably just a little shy!"

"..." Nanxing.

"..." Duan Shuiliu.

"Come here! Admiral Fang Jie!" Admiral Hao Ding raised his heavy hand again and patted Admiral Fang Jie's back twice. "Let me introduce you to the people around you!"

Admiral Haoding's palm strikes were powerful; he quickly knocked Admiral Fang Jie to the ground, but at the same time, he finally brought Admiral Fang Jie back to his senses.

"—No, no, no, no—No need, no need, no need!" Admiral Fang Jie, now fully conscious, stared at the five top ten admirals before him. He gasped and bowed repeatedly to them, trembling with fear. "No, no, no, I know you all. I remember your names!"

"Hahaha! That's excellent, it saves us a lot of trouble!" Admiral Haoding laughed heartily.

"Speaking of which... what brings this admiral here at this time?" Admiral Lian pursed her lips, her gaze lingering on Admiral Fang Jie.

"Uh... I, I came here..." Admiral Fang Jie opened his mouth awkwardly.

"Admiral Fang Jie has come to offer his condolences," Xiao Bai finally spoke up, smiling as she addressed the five top ten admirals.

"Oh! So you've also come to offer your condolences to Admiral Lu Lin!" the five admirals exclaimed in unison, their eyes immediately filled with goodwill as they looked at Admiral Fang Jie.

"You...you guys too?" Admiral Fang Jie raised his eyes and asked the five top ten admirals in a low voice with difficulty.

"Yeah! Hahaha!"

"After all, this concerns our little cutie, so even we can't be absent."

"But we're relieved to see that our little cutie is alright here!"

"..."

The five admirals each spoke.

Admiral Fang Jie swallowed hard, suddenly feeling immense pressure.

Sure enough, these five top ten admirals were also there for Admiral Lu Lin, and they seemed to share the same idea as him—to persuade Admiral Lu Lin not to fall for Ke Yuan's divisive tactics…

Large beads of sweat instantly appeared on Admiral Fang Jie's forehead.

Admiral Fang Jie's face began to burn.

After figuring this out, an indescribable sense of shame immediately rose in Admiral Fang Jie's mind—even the top ten admirals had to come to Lu Lin's door to advise her, and he, a nobody admiral ranked thousands on the admiral leaderboard, was still groveling to her door. Wasn't he being a little too arrogant...?

The more he thought about it, the more intense his shame became. Admiral Fang Jie recalled his solemn instructions just now and really wanted to dig a hole in the ground and bury himself in it.

No wonder Admiral Lu Lin kept looking at me with that strange smile. In her eyes, my behavior was probably quite ridiculous...

"Since the incident a couple of days ago, Admiral Fang Jie is the first person besides you to come and offer my condolences," Xiao Bai said to the top ten admirals.

"Oh, Admiral Fang Jie, I didn't expect you to care so much about Admiral Lu Lin." Admiral Hao Ding nodded with satisfaction, his eyes full of admiration as he looked at Admiral Fang Jie.

"He has done me a favor, he has done me a favor..." Admiral Fang Jie explained in a disheveled manner.

"Haha, regardless of whether Admiral Lu Lin has done you any favors, your visit at this time shows you are grateful and loyal!" Admiral Haoding patted Admiral Fang Jie's shoulder with satisfaction, then took out a business card from his clothes and handed it to Admiral Fang Jie. "Admiral Fang Jie, please take this!"

"Admiral Haoding...this, this is..."

“This is my business card—but it’s different from the business cards I usually give to others. This card is special, and the contact information on it isn’t from my naval base, but from my personal contacts,” Admiral Haoding said to Admiral Fang Jie. “If you ever encounter any trouble in the future, you can contact me using the information on this card. I will do my best to assist you within my capabilities!”

"Huh? This...!" Admiral Fang Jie stared wide-eyed at the personal business card of Admiral Hao Ding in his hand.

This is the second time that Admiral Fang Jie has met with Admiral Hao Ding. The last time he met Admiral Hao Ding on the beach, although Admiral Hao Ding declared his friendly identity to everyone on the beach, he only gave Admiral Fang Jie a standard business card before leaving.

The name cards of the top ten garrison commanders were extremely valuable, and even though it was just a symbolic ordinary name card, Admiral Fang Jie was still very grateful at that time.

What Admiral Haoding has given to Admiral Fangjie is a special business card with contact information that allows direct contact with Admiral Haoding himself... The special meaning behind this special business card is not just that of a business card... Admiral Fangjie is quite certain that if the news of this special business card were to accidentally leak out, the sensation it would cause in Chapter 8 would be no less than the birth of a special ship girl.

"This, this is too precious..." Admiral Fang Jie said nervously to Admiral Hao Ding, his hands trembling, "I... I dare not accept it..."

"Haha, it's just a business card! Why should Admiral Fang Jie refuse it!" Admiral Hao Ding waved his hand dismissively, indicating that Admiral Fang Jie should accept it.

"Oh, by the way, since you accepted Admiral Haoding's personal business card, why don't you accept mine too?" Admiral Lian smiled slightly at Admiral Fang Jie, took out a fragrant lily-trimmed business card from her clothes, and placed it on Admiral Fang Jie's outstretched palm. "From today onwards, we're both friends who care for Little Cutie, okay?"

“Me too, me too.” Following Admiral Lian’s action, Admiral Ling behind her also took out an almost identical business card and handed it to Admiral Fang Jie.

"..." Nanxing silently opened his bag, took out a platinum business card, and handed it to Admiral Fang Jie. "Take this."

“I’m about to resign, so I won’t give you the admiral’s business card.” Duan Shuiliu said as he took out a business card with the words “Military Police” on it and handed it to Admiral Fang Jie. “But this business card has the phone number of the Military Police office. If you encounter any unfair things in the future, as long as you are not the one who broke the law, you can call it and someone will help you get justice.”

In the blink of an eye, five business cards of different shapes lay on Admiral Fang Jie's trembling palm.

At this moment, Admiral Fang Jie didn't even dare to breathe deeply. He felt that his palms were extremely heavy, as if they were made of a giant boulder. The five business cards on his palms were also burning hot, like red-hot irons, making his palms ache.

Large drops of sweat streamed down Admiral Fang Jie's forehead.

The private contact information of the five top ten admirals... private contact information!

What a terrifying thing this is!

Chapter 2799: How many admirals have longed for this day and night, dreamed of it, and never even entertained the slightest thought of it themselves!

And now, these five business cards are lying in my hands!

"I...I...I feel unworthy..." Despite the immense shock, Admiral Fang Jie was not blinded by the promise of gain. He simply looked at the five top ten admirals before him, bewildered and shrinking back, and asked the question that had been on his mind, "Why...why are you giving me this...?"

"Hmm? Hahaha!" Admiral Haoding laughed heartily. "Admiral Fang Jie, you've done more than enough!"

"what?"

"If we're talking about the qualifications to accept a personal business card... your presence here at this time is already more than enough for us. Brother Fang Jie, we haven't really thought that much about it. At least for me, I just sincerely hope that you won't regret your choice today," Admiral Lian said with a smile to Admiral Fang Jie.

Admiral Fang Jie stared blankly at Admiral Lian, then, as if possessed, turned around and looked at Little White behind him.

Xiao Bai smiled serenely at Admiral Fang Jie.

In that instant, a sudden realization flashed through Admiral Fang Jie's mind, but then this realization turned into absurdity.

Could it be that... these five top ten admirals rewarded me with their "personal business cards" because I chose to stand on Admiral Lu Lin's side?

Just... just because of such a trivial matter?

This is... a small matter...

Little things...

Little things...

and many more……

Is this really... a small matter?

Admiral Fang Jie swallowed hard, and looking at the smile on Xiao Bai's face, he suddenly became afraid.

Chapter 2800 Protagonist Template

Only then did Admiral Fang Jie finally realize something that he seemed to have never noticed before.

Admiral Lu Lin and Admiral Nia are both new admirals who appeared in Chapter 8 as if by magic.

Prior to this, very few people knew anything about them throughout Chapter 8. Given the existence of these two admirals, especially after their close connection to a series of events involving special ship girls, many admirals in Chapter 8 became curious about their mysterious identities and secretly spent considerable time trying to verify and explore them.

Admiral Fang Jie wasn't the type to pry into other people's experiences, but since he lived in Chapter Eight, he inevitably learned some things about Admiral Lu Lin and Admiral Nia from others.

Admiral Nia's promotion record was the first to be discovered by the admirals.

Nia is a girl who grew up in an orphanage. Because she has never had any bad deeds since childhood, and because of her excellent written test scores and strong personal desire, when she applied to university, the director of the orphanage recommended her to a naval university dedicated to training admirals. She passed the written test, interview and physical test with excellent grades and participated in the admiral course as a special experimental student along with other normal students.

During her years of study at the Naval Academy, Nia performed exceptionally well. In the Admiral Academy, which was full of outstanding individuals, she ultimately graduated second in the entire school, created the initial ship girl Cleveland, and received a nerve serum personally awarded by the principal of the Naval Academy, becoming a glorious human admiral.

A perfect start is considered a "heavenly hand" (天胡).

Unfortunately, Nia's early days as admiral were not smooth.

It seems that Nia encountered a lot of trouble for some particular reason.

First, there was the issue of the naval base assigned to her by the school. It seemed there was some procedural problem with the final allocation by the naval academy. They mistakenly assigned a retirement naval base, intended for retiring admirals, to Nia. As a result, after Nia took office, because the location of the naval base was too leisurely and peaceful, she might not see a batch of deep-sea creatures for months. She lacked much of the necessary experience and missed the golden period of development for a new admiral, wasting a lot of time and falling behind the admirals who graduated at the same time.

Then, after Nia participated in the first chapter's walkthrough, she was charged with treason for releasing a deep-sea supply ship without authorization. Her admiral's license was confiscated by the admiral's guild of the first chapter, and she underwent several months of ideological education and labor reform.

At this point, Nia, who had a perfect start, was not only assigned a hopeless naval base, thus losing the opportunity to accumulate resources, develop and build, and expand her strength in the early stages, but even her admiral's license, which she hadn't even had a chance to fully enjoy, was in danger of being revoked by the admiral headquarters. Her reputation plummeted, her credibility was wiped out, and she and her ship struggled to survive in the first chapter. It can be said that she played a good hand terribly, and there was almost no chance of turning things around.

Up to this point, most admirals who investigated information about Nia would helplessly rub their temples and let out a long sigh.

Logically speaking, a normal person in this situation would likely face a difficult end.

But that's what's strange about it.

Although Nia's perfect start was shattered, it seemed that the bad luck she had experienced during this period had already exhausted all the bad luck she would ever have in her life. After Admiral Nia underwent labor reform and worked unpaid odd jobs at the Admiral's Guild for several months, one day suddenly her luck turned around, and her road to reversal began.

First, in the first chapter, Admiral Nia met a high-ranking admiral from a high-level sea area and obtained enough resources from him to build a fleet of ship girls. With these resources, Admiral Nia, whose bad luck had dissipated, finally had enough ship girls to break through the sea area of ​​the first chapter. She performed exceptionally well in the subsequent deep-sea riots of the first chapter, made several merits, and was eventually praised by Mr. Barbatos, the president of the admiral guild of the first chapter at the time.

It was precisely because of this that the Admiral Headquarters, taking into account Admiral Nia's outstanding performance during the deep-sea riot, returned her confiscated admiral's license to her. As for the punishment for her previous act of releasing deep-sea creatures without permission, she was only symbolically required to submit a few 10,000-word self-criticisms.

Starting with regaining her admiral's license, Nia's life began an unstoppable rebound from rock bottom.

First, the Admiral Headquarters finally noticed the problem with her naval base. They dismissed and investigated all those involved and reassigned the naval base that truly belonged to Admiral Nia. From then on, Admiral Nia seemed to awaken a terrifyingly lucky streak. Her ship girl construction success rate became astonishingly high. In just one year, she single-handedly built a massive naval base with over a hundred ship girls. With the support of these ship girls and her own relentless efforts, Admiral Nia unleashed her power and potential at an unbelievable speed, progressing from Chapter 1 to Chapter 8, becoming the fastest admiral in history to clear the main storyline.

This is a perfect protagonist template!

With a tragic past and exceptional abilities, her life is full of ups and downs, including injustice, fortuitous encounters, mentors, comebacks, a three-year promise that turns into a fall, arduous struggles and perseverance, turning points, a ship girl harem, moments of triumph, and moments of sudden realization—her life is truly magnificent…

In a novel, Admiral Nia would definitely be treated like a protagonist!
