Taotu was slightly startled at first, and then his eyes suddenly widened, "You mean, you actually persuaded Sister Zhizi to return to the headquarters?"
"That's right."
In front of the sofa in the living room, Nuo Xia turned to look at the old lady who was already packing her luggage in the distance, and smiled, "Major General Zhizi has decided that she will leave tomorrow to report to Marineland."
"Really or not?" Peach Rabbit's voice on the other end of the phone was a little unbelievable, "But...were you screwed up before? How did you do it?"
"It's all about charisma."
Nuo Xia didn't want everyone to know about Lujiu, so he dealt with it casually and vaguely:
"For more details, you can ask Major General Zhizi yourself when you see her later. Let's talk about the reward first between the two of us."
"I can have rewards, what do you want?"
"How about Jinpila?"
"...Young man, if you want to die, I will help you directly. There is no need to be so tactful."
"I'm sorry." Nuo Xia touched his chin. The stubble was a bit prickly. It seemed that Taotu hadn't shaved himself in the past few days. "I haven't thought about it for the moment. I'll come back to you later when I think about it?"
"Okay, I owe you a favor."
Taotu did not hesitate and agreed readily. After hesitating for a moment, he asked again: "You haven't done anything to harm my body in the past few days, have you?"
"Of course not." Nuo Xia said, "There is a saying in our hometown in the East China Sea that even four large sea kings cannot bring back a man's promise."
"Young man, I remember I warned you not to make up random sayings. Are there any large-scale sea kings in your hometown?"
Damn it, have you been discovered again?
"... Anyway, I'm not sorry for you. I can guarantee this with my chest, oh, even though I don't have breasts now."
"As I said before, if you want to die, you really don't need to be so tactful."
"I'm sorry." Nuo Xia apologized sincerely again, and then asked the question he was most concerned about, "Where are you now?"
"Of course it's in the bedroom... Oh, you want to ask where the warship is?"
"Um."
"We're still on the way. The voyage is relatively smooth. We'll probably arrive at Citles Island in the morning the day after tomorrow." Taotu thought for a while, "Are you planning to come here to take part in the actual combat assessment?"
"Of course, by the way, I have to beat up that stinky civet cat... Tsk, hasn't that guy escaped by now?"
"That's not the case, he seems to like Aoki Pheasant. Recently, he can always be seen lying on his head and taking a nap." Taotu sighed, "Also, boy, even if your body is back to normal now, I still have to remind you, The warship cannot be delayed because you are staying alone, let alone turn around to pick you up."
"Of course I know this, you don't have to worry."
At this point, it seemed that the topic was almost over, so Nosha made a summary: "Good night, see you again at Citles Island, Commodore Gion, I think you can always have a good sleep tonight, it won't be five o'clock I woke up halfway."
"You still have the nerve to say..."
Taotu was furious when he mentioned the nonsense about the biological clock, but as soon as he started talking, the phone buzzed "kocha" and was hung up.
This kid still dares to hang up on himself first?
Tao Tu Liu's eyebrows were raised, and just when he was about to call back to scold him, his movement of reaching out suddenly stopped, and he froze in place, with a slightly subtle expression on his face.
She clearly remembered that when she and this boy Nuo Xia first met, he still respected her and had a very correct attitude.
When did you start... becoming so familiar and casual?
…………
On the other side, in the living room.
After hanging up the phone, Nuo Xia stretched and felt refreshed.
"Rear Admiral Shibako, I'm going to go first!" He shouted towards Shibako across the room, "I just asked Commodore Gion and said that the warship has not reached its destination yet, so I have to rush over immediately to participate in this
It’s a practical test!”
"Leaving now?"
Zhizi stopped what she was doing and glanced sideways at him, "You're in the dark, how are you going? Can you swim over?"
"Go to Branch 329 for help." Nuo Xia shrugged, "The world's navies are all one family, and Citles Island is not far from here. It can be reached within two days. They must have the corresponding record pointers there. I'll go
Just borrow it and pick up a small boat."
"Innocent." Zhizi sneered, "It's midnight, and there aren't many people in the 329 branch still on duty. The current branch colonel, I remember his name is Bacco. He probably fell asleep long ago and will follow you around.
?”
"No, it's just a small favor."
Nuo Xia scratched his head, "Besides, I am also a member of the elite battalion of the headquarters. After graduation, I will at least be a major of the headquarters, right? Then I can actually be regarded as the commander of the 329 branch colonel."
"You also said that you have to wait until after graduation. Now people don't need to sell you this face." Zhizi stared at Nuo Xia, "Is this practical assessment very important to you?"
"It's very important." Nuo Xia nodded seriously, "So we really can't delay it any longer. We have to rush over there overnight."
"Understood."
Major General Zhizi came to the table, rummaged through the phone book, dialed the phone, and after a few instructions to the other end of the phone, he raised his head and looked at Nuo Xia, "I explained to the boy named Bacco,
He has already gotten up all night and rushed to the branch base to cooperate with you in dispatching ships and recording indicators."
"So positive?"
Nuo Xia was stunned for a moment, then thought about the flattering look on Bacco's face when he visited Branch 329 as Peach Rabbit, and then he figured it out, "That's right, you are a major general in this branch after all. With that guy's virtue,
If I don’t go there myself, I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep or eat well.”
"It's Lieutenant General." Zhizi glanced at him.
"Huh?" This time it was Nuo Xia's turn to be stunned.
"After handling the Golden Lion matter three years ago, the headquarters planned to promote me to lieutenant general. However, I happened to resign and return to my hometown at that time, so I refused."
Zhizi's expression was dull, as if he didn't feel anything about it: "So this time when I return to the headquarters to resign, I will continue to serve as deputy chief of staff as a lieutenant general of the headquarters."
"I see..." Nuo Xia suddenly realized, "Then I have to congratulate you, or go buy some gifts now. What do you think of strawberries?"
"Come on." Zhizi glared at him angrily, "I haven't settled the score with you about Tina yet!"
After clearing up the misunderstanding with Garp, she finally took some time out to check Tina's body, and the result was not what Noxia expected, it was the Threshold Fruit.
All we can say is, is this destiny?
Nuo Xia felt that even if she didn't take this trip, the Devil Fruit mixed in the strawberries would eventually be bought home because of Major General Zhizi's love for eating strawberries, and then accidentally eaten by Tina.
…
"This is purely an accident, how can you blame me..." Nuo Xia cried out, "Besides, Tina wants to join the headquarters as a navy, and the threshold fruit is used to arrest prisoners, but it is very suitable. Speaking of which,
, you should make it up to me instead, right?"
"Okay, how about I give you 100 million Baileys at a fraction of the lowest price on the black market for Devil Fruits?"
"I'd better call Bacco now to tell him not to go to the branch base and go home to wash up and sleep." Zhizi said expressionlessly.
"Lieutenant General, I was joking."
"Oh, I was joking too."
The two stared at each other for a moment, then Zhizi suddenly laughed, patted his shoulder and said warmly:
"Okay, let's go, kid, you have to hurry up and get on your way. In addition, although Lu Jiu has passed away...but, I do owe you a favor this time. After returning to the headquarters, if you need help with anything, just come and see me.
I."
Another favor?
Nuo Xia was overjoyed. Her run this time was not in vain. Although she was deceived by the body swap at first, now she not only has the favor of Mootu, a future general candidate, but also got acquainted with Zhizi, the deputy chief of staff of the headquarters.
What a blessing...
Well, how should we say this sentence: "As the Romans do as the Romans do?"
Although the red-haired man had his arm bitten off by the King of the Offshore, who knew that this was not a good thing?
After bidding farewell to Lieutenant General Zhizi and stepping out of the courtyard, the starry sky outside the white fence was particularly bright.
Nuo Xia took a deep breath of the fresh summer night air, looked back, and saw that the lights on the second floor were still on, and a small figure was lying in the window, as if secretly watching his back go away.
Little devil, why don't you rest?
He waved his hand towards the window and looked at the figure who suddenly shrank back as if he was frightened. After turning off the lights, he turned around with a smile and set foot on the road to the military port of the 329th branch base.
It was already around 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, and the road was silent. There was only his lone figure on the country road, and the environment was quite scary.
In order to relieve the boredom on the road, Nuo Xia opened the system panel. Looking at the six-digit points, he grinned and turned his attention to the "+" symbol behind the attribute points:
"Dark Blue, you're still sleeping there, come out and add some more!"
