Elder brother's garrison

Chapter 998 The Scholar

Of all the ship girls present, it seems that only Washington, due to her unfortunate history as a true man, is skilled in interior design. So, at the request of this only technician, Shiro, Bismarck, and Rodney could only sit in Hood's living room, watching Washington beat the wall by herself.

"Keep an eye on that cat, don't let her come any closer."

Washington said, tapping on the wall and pointing at Bismarck with his other hand.

While the wall was being built in Washington, Missouri took the opportunity to tidy up the messy ground and make room for Xiaobai and Dafeng, waiting for them to sit down.

After sitting down with Dafeng, Xiaobai looked around and found that Hude was not with her.

"By the way, where did that Hood go?"

"Senior Hood was giving Wisconsin a bath when the incident happened, so she's currently tidying herself up in her bedroom."

"Makeup?" Xiaobai asked curiously.

"I didn't wear makeup! I just fixed my hair a little and applied some lotion!" Just then, a door upstairs was flung open, and Hood, dressed in casual clothes, trotted down the stairs, puffed out her cheeks, and plopped down next to Little White. Pointing a finger at Little White, she said seriously, "Commander, it's always important to pay attention to your appearance, you know. I just went to the bedroom to blow-dry my hair, straighten my clothes, and then applied a tiny, tiny, tiny bit of lotion, that's all!!"

"Oh, oh oh..."

"Of course, even if I don't tidy up my appearance, it will always be sparkling clean, so please rest assured, Commander." After saying that, Hood brushed aside her long, smooth hair and revealed a confident smile.

Xiao Bai and Da Feng were speechless, so they could only silently applaud Hu De.

"Hood, it's been a long time!" Rodney, who was holding Oscar, greeted Hood from the other side of the table.

"Oh, it's Rodney and Nelson. Hello. I'm sorry to have shown you such an embarrassing scene." Hood pointed to the wall that Bismarck had made a large hole in, leaving only half of it standing.

"No, not at all. Breaking through walls or anything like that, it's more fun when everyone lives together, there's nothing shameful about it," Rodney smiled.

"Rodney, do you like this kind of thing?" Upon hearing this, Nelson, who was drinking tea nearby, suddenly paused.

"Ah."

“…Then let’s smash down a wall when we get home.” Nelson put down his teacup.

"Oh, really!"

"Well, but we can't cause trouble for others. If you like, you can knock down the wall between our two bedrooms."

"Wow, thank you, sister! Actually, I've wanted to sleep in the same room with you for a long time!" Rodney exclaimed and opened his arms wide, hugging Nelson with a look of surprise and delight.

Oscar jumped out of Rodney's arms and landed on the table in front of Taiho.

Under Taiho's watchful gaze, Oscar spun around a few times, then lay down on the table and curled up into a ball.

Taihou's gaze shifted from Rodney to the black cat in front of her, and she cautiously reached out and touched Oscar.

After touching Oscar's fur, Taiho's eyes lit up. She felt the texture of Oscar's body and revealed a childlike satisfied smile.

"People who pet cats for the first time often get addicted," Hood said gently, lying down next to Taifeng with a knowing smile. "How was it? Did you enjoy petting the cat?"

"Cats must be such comfortable creatures..."

Dafeng felt as if she had opened the door to a new world, enjoying the sensation of Oscar obediently staying under her palm and letting her stroke him.

Suddenly, the sound of heavy footsteps came from the doorway of Bismarck's house.

"Admiral! I heard a really loud noise outside! Is that the Admiral back?—" A flash of golden light, and Enterprise pushed open Bismarck's door and jumped in.

As she called out, she looked around. She ran to the front of the living room, looked up and saw that the walls of three living rooms had been smashed through, turning the large living rooms into a small square.

"--Wow----"

The woman beamed with the joy of seeing a famous historical site. She excitedly opened her arms and, while marveling at the sight, rushed towards Xiaobai.

"Admiral! When are you going to expand the dormitory to—ah, is this Oscar! It's Oscar aaaaaaaaaa————"

The surprised company was only halfway through its story when it saw Oscar standing in front of Taifeng. The company's eyes lit up and it opened its arms to Oscar.

Just a second before the company's hands touched Oscar, Oscar suddenly opened his eyes, and all the hair on his body stood on end.

Oscar arched his body like a spring, leaped up, and darted onto Taifeng's forehead like lightning. Then, amidst Taifeng's yelp, he kicked off Taifeng's face with his hind legs, dodging Enterprise's instinctive grabbing hands. He ran up Enterprise's arm to Enterprise's head, and finally nimbly jumped up the stairs of Hude's house.

In the end, Oscar left the company with only a swaggering departure.

"Ugh... I failed again... Why won't Oscar let me touch him...?"

As the enterprise watched Oscar disappear from the rooftop, it felt as if all its strength had been drained. It plopped down on Da Feng's lap with a thud, then started pounding the floor incessantly, acting like a spoiled child.

"I want to feel that shiny, soft fur too—ahhhhhh—just once, even just once—"

"Oscar doesn't seem to like people who are too lucky."

Rodney looked at Enterprise, who was sitting on Taihou's lap, raging in a fit of impotence, and couldn't help but laugh at Enterprise.

"Huh?!" The company stopped what it was doing, staring at Rodney in shock. "What??"

"Look, the ship girls who are close to Oscar are the ones who have bad luck."

"!?!" Upon hearing this, the company quickly turned its head to look at the large phoenix on its body.

Dafeng smiled shyly at the company while rubbing her nose, which had been stepped on by Oscar as a springboard.

"So...it wasn't me who scared Oscar away...you were still masturbating, weren't you?" Enterprise quickly sat up from Taihou and lowered her head. "Taihou...I'm so sorry..."

"I'm fine, the company doesn't need to worry about me." Da Feng shook her head indifferently.

"Well... how about this, since I scared the cat away, I'll pretend to be the cat to make it up to you!"

The enterprise simply rested its head on Da Feng's lap again. She reached out and made a cat paw shape near her face, scratching the air like a lucky cat.

"Meow...meow?"

"Pfft."

Dafeng couldn't help but laugh at the company on her lap. She quickly covered her mouth, turned to the side, and leaned on the floor, trembling.

"Uh—my cat's meow is actually this funny?!"

"Yes, I'm sorry...no, no, it's so cute, pfft—"

"Ah!! Taifeng, you again—"

"No, no, no..."

"Meow?"

"puff--"

"Ah! You really find it funny, don't you!"

"Yes, I'm sorry... Please, please forgive me—pfft—"

The inquisitive company grabbed Da Feng, who was clutching her stomach and laughing uncontrollably, and the two of them immediately became a chaotic mess around Xiao Bai.

Admirals who have been in Chapter 5 for a while know a male admiral named Ruan Li.

Most people don't know when Ruan Li arrived in Chapter 5. All they know is that every few months, a weary Ruan Li would appear at a hotel in Chapter 5 with a squad of her ship girls, and then quietly disappear from Chapter 5 a few days later.

People began to wonder who this admiral was.

Some of the more senior admirals answered this question.

Ruan Li was an admiral who reached Chapter 5 a long, long time ago. She had an exceptional talent for tactical deployment. Back then, she was young and ambitious with a bright future. However, after arriving at Chapter 5, she was unlucky. Due to the fact that her ship girls' configurations were not up to standard, she was stuck in Chapter 5 for a long time and has been stuck ever since.

Ruan Li was not introverted by nature, but as the time he spent killing cards increased, he had fewer and fewer acquaintances in Chapter 5 and gradually stopped interacting with people, so he gradually became withdrawn.

The admirals in Chapter 999 understood.

It turns out this person wasn't an extraordinary individual, just a pitiful soul who had been stuck for a long time trying to kill someone.

Thus, Ruan Li's identity became known.

Ruan Li was originally an unknown person, but as this kind of publicity became more frequent, he became somewhat eccentric and slightly eye-catching. From then on, the admirals of the fifth chapter gradually began to regard him as a rare species, and they all began to consciously take a stroll before and after meals to see if they could find Ruan Li and observe this senior from afar.

On this day, Ruan Li reappeared at the Admirals' Guild in Chapter Five. As soon as he appeared, the Admirals of Chapter Five flocked to him. They looked at Ruan Li, some with anticipation, some with admiration, and a small number with smiles on their faces.

The small group of admirals, smiling, shouted at Nguyen Le from afar, "Nguyen Le! You've come to kill again!"

Ruan Li did not answer, but said to the staff at the guild counter, "Six ship girls and I am the admiral." She then handed the staff a pre-written information card.

They deliberately shouted loudly, "Ruan Li! You failed to secretly kill her again last time!"

In the past, Ruan Li would usually widen her eyes and say, "How can you slander someone's innocence like that... That's just grinding blood... The blood hasn't even been completely ground out, how can you call that an attempt to kill?"

Then came a string of incomprehensible phrases, such as "gambling on the odds of a night battle," "if you're so capable, don't attack me during the day," and "I can kill anyone I hit during a night battle." These phrases caused a small group of admirals to burst into laughter, filling the guild with a joyful atmosphere.

But today, when faced with those loud inquiries, Ruan Li, contrary to her usual behavior, nodded in agreement, her eyes neither widening nor flushing.

The admirals assumed that Ruan Li was in a bad mood that day, so they didn't tease her any further. They just watched from afar as Ruan Li led the ship girls to the final point of the fifth chapter and began preparations on the sea.

The admirals watched from afar as Ruan Li frowned and earnestly gave instructions to each of the ship girls.

"Ruan Li seems to be serious this time," a commander suddenly murmured.

"But he doesn't have any new ship girls either," another admiral questioned. "Is he just relying on luck?"

"I have a brilliant plan, let's wait and see," a commander sighed deeply.

Even criticism can develop into affection.

Although the admirals in Chapter 1000 were verbally unforgiving, seeing Ruan Li's hair growing whiter day by day, they still hoped deep down that Ruan Li could overcome this hurdle.

After all, even if it's the story of the Foolish Old Man Who Moved Mountains.

In the end, didn't it move the Jade Emperor?

After completing his preparations, Ruan Li did not rush to set off. Instead, he sat on the beach, gazing at the sea in the distance.

The admirals waited from early morning until noon, and from noon until dawn.

"Is Ruan Li here to watch a show?" a commander exclaimed.

The other admirals looked at each other, but no one spoke.

"Let's not waste our time here, let's go!" Several admirals left.

The remaining admirals remained silent, but their eyes all revealed their disappointment and regret towards Nguyen Le.

The admirals wanted to shout again, "Ruan Li, you're going to fail to kill him again!"

But when they looked at the white hair at Ruan Li's temples, they thought for a moment, then sighed softly, turned around, and prepared to disperse.

Just then, another clear voice suddenly rang out from the other end of the beach.

"Hey!!! Ruan Li!!! I'm late!!"

The admirals looked over and saw an admiral they hadn't seen before. He was leading six ship girls, jogging and waving at Ruan Li.

"Ah! Ah! That's...that's an air formation composed of aircraft carriers and light carriers!!!" One admiral glanced at the ship girls behind him and his eyes widened immediately. "That's...that's a configuration that only admirals in Chapter 7 could assemble!"

The admirals who had been watching Nguyen Le from afar stared wide-eyed at Nguyen Le and the men who had arrived.

The male admirals who arrived later reached Ruan Li's side and laughed heartily: "Sorry, it's been too long since I've been here, I got a little lost, hehe... Didn't keep you waiting long?"

“No.” Ruan Li smiled at the male admiral, revealing two rows of white teeth.

"That's good. By the way, you seem to be getting pretty good treatment here. What's up? Have you become an idol?"

"No, he's just a Kong Yiji."

"Hahahaha—" The male admiral laughed and put his arm around Ruan Li's shoulder, putting his arm around her back. "Kong Yiji is good, he's a cultured man, who around here doesn't know him?"

As the male admiral spoke, he pointed to the sea in front of Nguyen Le and then to the surrounding beaches.

"Kong Yiji!" the male admiral shouted.

"hey-hey."

"Let's show these guys what it's like to be a scholar now!!!"

If you want razor blades, just take the few that are given away for free each month (it's blatant robbery).

Chapter 1001 Plastic Sisterhood (Part 2)

Just before the bright orange sunset faded and the ship sank precariously to the bottom of the sea, the roar of engines echoed from afar on the road in front of the novice garrison.

"Buzzing sound—"

Amidst billowing smoke, several gray-white taxis hurtled straight toward the naval base's gate. With a screeching drift, the vehicles swerved and finally came to a stop right in front of the gate.

The car door opened, and a long, slender, snow-white leg stepped out.

"Yay! First place!"

Saratoga jumped out of the car, opened her arms, and took a deep breath of the slightly salty, humid air around her.
