Chapter 109: Everything is difficult at the beginning
Su Xia hadn't moved the computer from the activity room yet, so Xiao Zhai could continue playing. She was sitting in front of the computer playing games, and she had noticed Su Xia's arrival a long time ago. Of course, the game was more important, until the silly Jelly Bean Man she was controlling was eliminated, she turned around and said seriously.
"Comrade Admiral, do you know that you are late?"
"Ah?" Su Xia was holding the black tea brought by Xiao Luo, who was working part-time as a tea specialist. She stood behind Xiao Zhai and watched her play a game. She didn't react for a moment. What was that strange name?
"Admiral, don't pay attention to her." Xiao Hua said, "She just likes to act weird. Today she calls people comrades, tomorrow she calls herself "we, we, we", and imitates Longxiong's speech, and the day after tomorrow she calls herself "concubine", "I", "you", etc."
"Ah..." Xiao Zhai climbed onto the chair, knelt on the chair with his legs, leaned on the back of the chair, pointed his finger at Xiao Hua, and then raised his fist as big as a sandbag, "Xiao Hua, you dare to make up stories about me, I will make you pay."
The cute little loli kept saying "I" and it was so adorable that Su Xia almost couldn't help but touch her.
Xiaohua just snorted. She was too lazy to retort and continued reading.
Xiao Zhai looked at Su Xia and said, "Admiral, we went to look for you this morning, and you were still not awake at nine o'clock. We wanted to knock on your door, but we saw a sign on your door that said Do Not Disturb, so we left without knocking. The sign you made is so ugly."
Su Xia just smiled and didn't say that it was a card made by Lexington. You dare to laugh at Lexington's craftsmanship. If you want me to keep it secret, just be obedient and don't threaten me.
Xiao Zhai continued, "Also, I heard from that otaku girl that you had a party last night, Admiral? No, that otaku girl must have said that. I remember when we went to look for you, you said you were going to take a shower and go to bed, and you even chased us away."
Su Xia found that Xiao Hua and Xiao Luo were both looking at him. Sooner or later, he would be exposed for lying. He coughed and said, "Well, after you left, I wanted to go to bed directly. Many things happened... Didn't I come to the activity room to find you last night? I thought of a way to fill this port area with everyone's laughter. Now I come to find you."
"What have you come up with?" Xiao Zhai said, she no longer paid attention to what he did last night. The method of diverting attention is very useful, the key is to attract the other person's topic.
"I discussed this with Lexington a little this morning..." Su Xia hesitated. In fact, he didn't think about it at all. After all, there were a lot of messes all day. But he still had a general idea. After communicating with Lexington and understanding some things, he eliminated some inappropriate ideas and still had something to say.
Su Xia took a look and saw that Xiao Zhai had sat down and Xiao Hua had put down his book. As for Xiao Luo, she was not important. She was just a mascot. She pulled a bench and sat down, saying, "Just a few words."
Xiao Zhai and Xiao Hua nodded, and Xiao Luo blinked.
Su Xia stretched out her hand, clenched her right hand into a fist, and then opened her fingers one by one.
"First of all, it's about eating...Now everyone eats separately, which makes it hard for us to see each other on a regular basis, and there's no chance for us to keep in touch. Even if we're sisters, our relationship will become distant over time. So, first of all, we need to build a big cafeteria, and everyone will eat in the cafeteria. Then we'll inevitably see each other on a regular basis, and naturally we'll get to know each other and become close."
"I've thought about the housing issue and I think it's better to keep it as it is. Even if we live together, it feels crowded and there aren't many benefits. Like now, if you want to live in a high-rise, you can live in a high-rise, if you want to live in a villa, you can live in a villa, if you want to, you can plant some flowers in the yard, if you don't want to, you can plant some vegetables in the yard, isn't it beautiful? Appropriate distance is also necessary."
Xiao Zhai and Xiao Hua nodded one after another, and Xiao Luo followed suit, she understood very well.
Su Xia continued, "It's easy for everyone to become alienated if they live separately. It's not enough to just get together in the cafeteria, so we need to find a way to get everyone together more often. What I'm considering for now is to hold more activities on weekdays. Children's Day, Mid-Autumn Festival, National Day, Christmas, all of them, sports meets, singing competitions, moon-watching events. This will also make everyone's life in the garrison more interesting, instead of being as monotonous and stagnant as it is now."
Xiaohua raised his hand.
Su Xia said: "You say."
Xiaohua said, "I have suggested that we organize more activities, but no one seems to be interested."
"Prizes." Su Xia said, "Of course we need prizes. We need prizes to motivate us."
"That would be very expensive," Xiaohua said, "and everyone is quite rich, so they can buy whatever they want. They don't care about prizes." She thought about it and realized that if it was a luxury sports car, a private jet or something like that , it would not be easy for everyone to buy it.
Xiao Zhai raised his hand and interrupted: "Collector's Edition game consoles, collector's edition game peripherals."
Xiaohua said disdainfully: "You're the only one who likes that kind of thing."
"Xiaohua, your suggestion is very good... So, the prize is not enough, the prize must be attractive enough." Su Xia said, "What kind of prize can be easily bought with money, it can't be difficult to obtain, and everyone likes it... This is a problem that must be thought about carefully."
"I want... the Admiral's obedience ticket." Xiao Zhai said, "With an Admiral's obedience ticket, I can ask the Admiral to do anything."
"Hmm... good idea." Xiaohua said, "Admiral obedience coupons, admiral wish coupons, admiral lap pillow coupons, admiral date coupons... if we use these things that cannot be bought as rewards, everyone will definitely participate in the event enthusiastically."
"I object." Su Xia said, "Why use me as a prize?"
"Objection is invalid." Xiao Zhai said.
"Objection is useless." Xiaohua pushed his glasses.
"Opposition, opposition is useless." Xiao Luo is best at repeating.
"We'll talk about that later." Su Xia waved her hand, "Now let's talk about equipment... Everyone's equipment cannot be changed casually, otherwise Bumblebee will have no use for the B-25, it's just a waste. Although the equipment cannot be changed, we must replenish their equipment, and there must be additional compensation for their selfless donation of equipment. For example, Bumblebee provides B-25, we rent it from her, and give her a little extra money every month."
"Sister Bumblebee...she...is just a salted fish. All she needs to do is eat and sleep well every day..." Xiaohua said.
"And Lily, and Sister Northampton." Xiao Zhai interrupted again.
"What is lily?" Xiao Luo asked innocently.
"Xiao Zhai, don't say anything weird." Xiao Hua said, "Anyway, Big Bee doesn't care about money at all. She only wants her carrier-based aircraft B-25. She sleeps with a B-25 doll, swims with an inflatable B-25, and plays with a remote-controlled plane with a B-25... I don't think compensation money is enough."
"That's not easy." Xiao Zhai said, "If it doesn't cost money, just give her a ticket for being obedient to the admiral every month. Otherwise, give her a ticket for... the admiral can do whatever he wants."
Xiaohua nodded.
Su Xia couldn't help but say: "It's okay if the admiral is obedient, but what do you mean by the admiral casually playing the voucher? Anyway, don't be generous to others."
"I'm not being generous to others, I'm being generous to the admiral." Xiao Zhai said seriously.
Xiaohua said: "This is the best solution."
"Let's discuss it again." Su Xia said, "What else do we have to say about what we talked about that day?"
"Discrimination issues," Xiao Zhai said, "There are also underground casinos, underground black markets, rampant gangs, power-for-sex transactions, tax evasion, bullying, forced buying and selling, bribery, forced prostitution... There are so many problems."
"I really don't understand." Su Xia said, "I know about the discrimination problem, but... it's not easy to solve. Underground casinos, underground black markets, and especially forced prostitution... what are these?"
Xiao Zhai said, "The garrison doesn't allow casinos to open, but I heard there's an underground casino hidden somewhere. Sisters Maryland and Nevada act as thugs, sister Rabbit is a beautiful dealer, sister Alaska and sister Guam sing for money, and it's said that there are people who can't be mentioned acting as umbrellas... You don't know how big the involvement is, it's not something we can interfere with at all."
Xiao Zhai continued in all seriousness, "The underground black market sells all kinds of messy things. I just heard that dead otaku girl say what she was selling there. Italian gangs collect protection fees everywhere, and if you don't pay them, they will stay in your store and won't leave. Power-for-sex transactions... If you want to get a secretary ship, you must sell your body to the admiral."
"I didn't. There was no power-for-sex transaction." Su Xia asked.
"Obviously there is." Xiao Zhai said, "As long as you wear less or more revealing clothes, won't the admiral immediately arrange for a secretary ship?"
Su Xia was speechless for a moment, and it seemed that he understood that whoever dressed beautifully and wore less would be given a secretary ship by him.
"It's a pity that they all have a bad ending." Xiao Hua shook his head and said, "They use their beauty to entertain people, but when their beauty fades, their love fades, and when their love fades, their favor ends. They can usually only serve as secretary ships for a while, and when the admiral gets tired of them, they immediately step down."
Su Xia didn't know what to say.
"There's also tax evasion... I heard that Sister Santi invested everywhere and made a lot of money, but she didn't want to hand over a single cent to the garrison." Xiao Zhai was very angry. "What is bullying in the market? I heard someone say something about forced buying and selling, I forgot. Bribery, I heard that someone bribed the disciplinary committee to turn a blind eye to her illegal behavior by giving her gifts."
Su Xia asked: "What about forcing women of good character into prostitution?"
"It was yesterday, or the day before yesterday." Xiao Hua said with a hint of meaning, "Missouri forced Archerfish to accompany the guests."
"Haha, there is such a thing?" Su Xia laughed and couldn't delve into it any further.
Xiaohua curled her lips.
Xiao Hua thought for a while and said, "Apart from these things... a sheep leading a group of lions cannot beat a lion leading a group of sheep. If one general is not good enough, the whole army will be exhausted. Admiral, you are our admiral. You have to be a lion. You have to work hard every day, change your personality, learn management, economics, weapons, military command, law and foreign languages, and exercise every day."
"I'll try my best..." Su Xia really didn't have much confidence. He was not that kind of genius.
"Not trying my best." Xiaohua said, "I will supervise you every day."
"Okay." Su Xia suddenly laughed. If the other person was a little Lolita, he would dare to say anything, "As long as Xiaohua supervises me, I think anything is possible, no matter how difficult the problem is... I like Xiaohua." Bullying a child who always has a stern face has a different flavor.
"Idiot." Xiaohua blushed.
Su Xia said, "I will work hard to change my character and get rid of those bad habits. I will also take some time to read and exercise every day... Then we will start from the simple to the difficult... The cafeteria can't go on like this, otherwise we should go to the cafeteria now and change the cafeteria first."
Su Xia felt a little embarrassed to bother Lexington every day.
Su Xia suddenly found that Xiao Hua was reading a book with his head down, Xiao Zhai turned around to play games, and Xiao Luo was blinking in confusion. This child probably didn't understand anything.
"Xiao Zhai." Su Xia called out, "What do you think?"
"Go ahead, Admiral, please go to the cafeteria. We are waiting for your good news here." Xiao Zhai said without even turning his head.
"Let's go together."
"No way." Xiao Zhai shouted.
"Is it that scary...London?" said Su Xia.
"It's not scary. You go alone."
"Just go alone, it's no big deal." Su Xia said, "It's just some dark food."
"Then just go..."
Xiao Zhai slowly opened his arms towards him.
"May your journey be filled with curses and blessings."
Su Xia had no expression on her face.
Is that the city of no return?
