Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1276 Our commander is used to being poor!

This time, Lin Lan returned to the Donghuang temporary port area at noon.

In just half a month, the weather in Natland East Province has begun to become extremely hot.

Even in the tree-lined temporary port area, the occasional chirping of cicadas could be heard.

He and the Donghuang ship girl who had accompanied him along the way got off the flying spiritual device, came to the restaurant and greeted Long Wu before sitting down. Then they happened to meet Fushun and Xiongmeng pushing open the door of the restaurant with Bai Qixue.

"Commander! You are finally back. Tell me if you encountered any monsters this time! Did you encounter other parts of the Invisible Breath?"

This red-haired guide girl seemed to be full of energy forever. As soon as she saw him, she excitedly threw herself into his arms.

"Pfft, what the hell are the other parts of the Invisible Breath? You think the Invisible Breath is the sealed Dark Mage, right?"

Lin Lan didn't expect that Fushun hadn't seen him for a few days, and the first sentence he said made him lose control.

"Haha~ Fushun, our journey with the commander was very smooth this time, and we didn't encounter any enemies."

Zhenhai smiled and took out the gift he bought for Fushun from the ship's storage space, and then told the three girls about their experiences along the way.

Compared to Fushun, who loves excitement and feels fortunate that they didn't travel together this time, the petite girl in Beilian school uniform is fierce, but there is a hint of expectation in her eyes when she looks at Lin Lan.

The reason is simple. The four Northern Alliance ship girls will go with the commander on his next honeymoon.

Xiong Meng saw Tashkent asking Haitian and Haiqi to help sew new clothes these days, and he was also planning to ask Huajia and Dingan for help later.

But at this moment, Bai Qixue, who was wearing the same Beilian maid uniform as Xiong Meng, grabbed the hem of her skirt, looked at Lin Lan who was teasing her and said shyly:

"Commander, Xue'er also wants to travel with you."

"what?"

Lin Lan didn't expect Bai Qixue to suddenly make such a request. He looked at the lovely little loli.

Thanks to the experimental agency's technology and efficient execution, this little loli from the demon race has obtained a set of destroyer ship equipment.

Before he set off, he had watched several times at the beach as Bai Qixue, under the guidance of Mercury Jiian and Lingmin, deployed her ship equipment and conducted mobile target shooting exercises on the sea.

It must be said that in the month since Bai Qixue's transformation, she has completely adapted to daily life in the port area as a human being.

If it weren't for her fluffy white long hair and the iconic golden and blue heterochromatic eyes, he would have almost failed to recognize that the cute little loli in front of him, who looked well-educated, sunny and lively, was the monster that he picked up and only ate and slept.

"Commander, since the kid has said so, you should agree."

While he was still sighing, Yixian's voice with a gentle smile sounded in his ears:

"We have all seen how hard this child has worked during this period. Shouldn't we let her have a break?"

Yixian's proposal was unanimously approved by the other Donghuang ship girls in the restaurant.

During this time, they all witnessed Bai Qixue's hard work in the port area. Even Ninghai and Pinghai praised Bai Qixue's work in the fields.

"Well, then, Bai Qixue, you can come along on the journey in two days. It will be a good opportunity for you to show off your learning results on how to use ship equipment in combat."

Since no one had any objections, Lin Lan didn't think much about it.

He smiled and motioned Bai Qixue, whose face was filled with joy, to come forward, stroked her head and continued with a smile:
"When we come back, we will also take you to Beizhou. Maybe you can meet your family there and reunite with them." However, as soon as he said this, he found that Bai Qixue, who was originally being touched on the head by him with a comfortable and relieved smile, had a frozen face.

"No... I, I don't want to leave the Commander and everyone from Donghuang and Beilian!"

The next second, Bai Qixue turned pale and took several steps back as if he had heard some bad news, his pupils filled with fear and resistance.

Bai Qixue's stressed look made Lin Lan immediately realize that he had said the wrong thing.

"Don't be afraid, we will never abandon you, but don't you want to see your biological parents again?"

He first comforted Bai Qixue with a gentle yet firm tone, and then asked the frightened Bai Qixue.

"Of course I do... But, but I'm more afraid that the commander and everyone else who are so kind to Xue'er will suddenly disappear, just like, just like Xue'er's father and mother..."

The next second, Bai Qixue burst into tears in front of him and the girls in the restaurant, kneeling on the ground and speaking pitifully in a sobbing voice.

Lin Lan had never seen such a scene before, and he quickly looked at Yixian and Zhenhai for help.

But the two Donghuang ship girls smiled and shook their heads at him, implying that the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it.

It was he who adopted this little loli from the demon tribe and brought her back to the temporary port area, so naturally he would have to decide the future fate of this little loli.

But he had never really considered carefully whether to let Bai Qixue stay with her family in Natlan or bring Bai Qixue back to the home port.

This made him feel a little troubled for a moment.

"Assistant Stupid, have you been in the NL area for too long and your brain has degenerated?"

But at this moment, Miss D, who couldn't bear it any longer, said to him in an angry and amused tone:
“Our ability to leave the NL region definitely means that the route between your home port and the NL region has been opened.

"Wouldn't it be better if we let the nodes of the experimental agency build a semi-permanent micro-layered hybrid mobile facility network node in this little guy's hometown?"

When Lin Lan heard Miss D's speech, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Yup!

Nowadays, experimental institutions have moved into his port with their families to eat and drink for free. Why should he worry about such a small matter?
Wouldn't it be better to just let the experimental institute build a door network node in Bai Qixue's hometown in Xizhou, so that Bai Qixue can travel back and forth between the port and her parents at any time?
"Hey, Miss D, you are not allowed to say that about our commander. Our commander is used to being poor. How could he think of such an extravagant method like you Sirens?"

Before he could explain to Bai Qixue what Menfei Network was, Fushun spoke arrogantly to Miss D before he could open his mouth.

As expected, Miss D glared at Fushun with disdain after hearing this:
"This is the first time I've seen a ship that can talk about being poor so confidently, and there's obviously something wrong with your choice of words!"

Although Fushun was unwilling to accept the defeat and started arguing with Miss D again, Lin Lan did not refute Miss D. Instead, she reflected on why she was so stubborn.

It seems that I am still not used to the current situation where Antiks has become an ally.

The door network that was once difficult for him and the ship girls to research and manufacture was now able to be opened wherever he wanted by him.

It is said that it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but this kind of change in mindset is not something he can get used to overnight.

But no matter what, he first told Bai Qixue the functions of the Door Network, and promised that Bai Qixue could stay in the home port as long as she wanted.

When the little dragon mother Long Wu came to the restaurant from the kitchen with the delicious food, the little loli from the demon tribe was finally coaxed by him into smiling brightly again.
