Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1500 Extra: Four-Divided Christmas Gift (Part )

1. Starting point
The winter in NY City ushered in the first snow of the year.

In just one night, the prosperous city on the east coast of White Eagle was dyed white.

Late at night, far away from the bustling suburbs, in Lin Lan's villa.

Wearing a black cotton jacket, he was sitting alone in front of the computer desk in the study on the third floor, writing today's ANTI-X mental development log.

"Oh, Osta really knows how to cause me trouble."

Looking at the laptop screen in front of him, the bearded man sighed deeply.

The dark circles under his eyes and the empty cup of coffee on the table clearly showed that he had hardly had a good rest in the past two days.

Just the day before yesterday, the Ocean Federation's chief expert in the field of Rubik's Cube artificial intelligence and his close friend Osta sent him four new generation ANTI-X girls.

Although the excuse was to ask him to help with mental development.

But Lin Lan knew very well that Osta was worried that he would do something extreme because of the "betrayal" of the good man Richard.

"If it's just mental development, then it's fine, but why does the new generation of ANTI-X in the Arbitrator series wet the bed?

"It just so happens that I designed the Death God Dess myself. How can I have the nerve to upload such a thing to Osta..."

The photo of a cute little girl with black hair and golden eyes smiling on the computer screen made him rub his temples with a headache.

That's right.

Last night, the arbitrator Dais, whom he designed, wet the bed!

You know, even when the ship girls were just born, they would not do such things.

What’s more, what about artificial intelligence ANTI-X?
Because Angel, Enterprise and York City are all under investigation due to the Richard incident.

So he had no choice but to call the first arbitrator Helophon for help, which took him most of the night.

After expressing his feelings, he finally concealed the matter and deleted everything, and sent today's report to Osta.

However, as an expert in the Rubik's Cube field and the designer of the Executor Sequence, Lin Lan himself is also proficient in Rubik's Cube artificial intelligence technology.

After thinking for a while, he called up all the development files of the Arbiter series sent to him by Osta on his laptop and browsed through them carefully.

Soon, he found the most reasonable explanation for Des's bedwetting in the development files:

“The biggest difference between the Arbiter series and the previous ANTI-X series is not the weapon system or energy system, but the growth potential.

“The mental systems of the Arbitrator series all use a new generation of Rubik’s Cube calculation core, and their personalities will be greatly influenced by their upbringing.

"After all, the Arbiter series is designed to measure the scalability of ships. If they can get rid of the designed program system, does it mean that they can truly become independent "lives"?"

Looking at Osta's records and assumptions in the development archives, Lin Lan sighed again.

If it were the old him, he would definitely be very interested in putting it into practice and exploring the future of Rubik's Cube artificial intelligence together.

But now, he has no interest in anything except studying the Meta-Cube.

Ange was arrested, all of his KanColle students were investigated, and the team was officially disbanded.

as well as……

The smiling face of the cute girl with long white hair and blue eyes flashed through his mind, causing him to grab his hair with both hands in great pain.

"Why did this happen, good man Richard... It shouldn't have turned out like this..."

His eyes, which had not had enough rest for a long time, were full of bloodshot, and the grief that surged in his heart made him feel suffocated.

“Dibel, if I connect the Meta Cube to her, it will definitely help me break through the key node of the meta experiment.

"Yes, I can't invest too much emotion in them, otherwise I will definitely..."

Just as Lin Lan was muttering to himself and making up his mind at the table, suddenly, there was a knock on the wooden door of his study.

"Who?!"

Lin Lan instinctively jumped up from the chair.

Fearing the plan he had just spoken to himself, he questioned the late night visitor outside the door in a trembling voice.

"Teacher, it's Yu, Enpres."

The emotionless voice of a queen sounded from outside the door, but Lin Lan did not let down his guard.

"When did you come? Why are you not sleeping so late...into hibernation mode? What are you doing here looking for me?"

"I arrived outside your study door 21 seconds ago."

The Queen of the Arbitrators first said calmly that she had just arrived at the door, and then told him the reason why she came to see him:

"Daisy, she wet the bed again. The diaper you installed for her did not effectively prevent this physiological phenomenon."

"Ah? Why did you wet the bed again?!"

After hearing the reason why Enpress came to see him in the middle of the night, Lin Lan was stunned for a moment:

"Didn't I stop her from drinking water after dinner?"

"According to my observations when I came here, she secretly ended her sleep mode and went to the refrigerator to drink all the energy drinks you bought yesterday without permission."

"???"

Enpress's answer made Lin Lan sneer in relief:
"Okay, okay, in that case, I don't need to be polite to Osta, and I will use the Donghuang way to educate the naughty child."

"I need to remind the teacher that according to the White Eagle Law, being violent towards children is..."

"She is ANTI-X! The Child Protection Act does not apply to her. The Artificial Intelligence Convention applies to her!"

In response to Enpress's reminder, Lin Lan sneered, picked up the chicken feather blanket used for cleaning the dust in the study, and walked out the door.

Dais was the arbitrator he designed, and at this moment he really felt like an old father who was disappointed in his son.

As soon as the door opened, the person waiting in front of him was the Arbitrator Queen with long white hair reaching the ground and wearing a white dress.

Under Empres's surprised gaze, he walked downstairs with the chicken feather blanket.

Soon, the crying of a disobedient little girl was heard in the bedroom on the first floor of Lin Lan's residence.

"Wow! Teacher, I was wrong! I will never dare to drink before going to bed again! Wow!!!"

This also officially opened the prelude to his cohabitation life with the four ANTI-X arbitrators.

2. Travel

Three days after educating Dai Si in the traditional Donghuang way.

"Who of you wants to go shopping with me at the NY City supermarket today?"

Early in the morning, Lin Lan, who had shaved his beard for a rare occasion, took out a casual coat and thick jeans from the closet, yawned, and walked downstairs from his bedroom upstairs.

Seeing that he looked ten years younger overnight, the four ANTI-X arbitrators who were sitting at the dining table in the living room eating breakfast stared at him in amazement.

Since that night, the crying Dai Si has completely calmed down and never wet the bed again.

But this doesn't mean he can relax.

On the contrary, Lin Lan soon realized that he suddenly had four daughters waiting for him to support them.

After all, the arbitrators' minds are still too immature.

For Ling and the Observers, all the common sense they had when they were born was something that the four arbitrators had to learn from scratch. This also made him finally understand why he was always sent to Summers Island by Anjie to take care of Helophon when the team was still there.

As the first arbitrator, Helophon also went through this ignorant period.

But perhaps because of the Helophon's "Pope" system, the gentle arbitrator's learning and growth speed is changing with each passing day.

In less than a week, Helophon's mental system had completed conceptual finalization and was fully capable of taking care of itself.

I wonder how long it will take these four arbitrators to reach a conclusion?

Instead of thinking about this, he got up early every day for the past three days to prepare breakfast for the four arbitrators.

As for lunch and dinner?
If he is in a good mood, he will cook by himself. If he is in a bad mood, he will naturally let the omnipotent Rubik's Cube drone deliver the food.

"Wow! Teacher, why did you think of shaving your beard today? You look much more handsome now!"

After he walked downstairs and into the living room, the four arbitrators finally came back to their senses from the brief downtime.

Dais, still in her white dress, swung her legs on the dining chair, raised her fork in her hand and shouted to his delight.

Lin Lan has also noticed these days that this little guy Dai Si is the typical one who only remembers to eat but not to be beaten.

Even though he taught her a lesson, this little girl was still his "own daughter" after all, and was still the one who was most attached to him among the four arbitrators.

"No matter how much you praise me, I won't buy you snacks."

"Devil! The teacher is the real devil, wuah..."

Faced with Dai Si's generous praise, Lin Lan could not help but guess the little Loli's innocent thoughts.

With just a few words, he turned Dai Si's smiling face into a crying face in an instant.

“The course on the history of human civilization that I had scheduled with Dibelu, and the course on the basic common sense of life that I had scheduled with Dais, were both in the morning.

"Only Lavos can go to the supermarket with you, teacher."

Enpress elegantly sat at the dining table with her long legs crossed, put down the coffee in her hand, smiled faintly and said to him.

As ANTI-X that needs to be learned, arbitrators also need to learn.

Although the four arbitrators were unable to go to school.

But Lin Lan has already arranged courses for them to study online, so that they can adapt to such a cruel world as quickly as possible.

"Well, Lavos, you can change your clothes and go out directly. I will go to the garage and park the car at the door and wait for you."

After he finished speaking to the beautiful white-haired girl who was staring at him blankly and unable to speak because of the lack of a voice system, he left the living room without looking back.

After arriving at the garage and skillfully sitting in the driver's seat and starting the Rubik's Cube vehicle, he began to think about Lavos.

From his observations over the past few days, Lavos was the girl who gave him the least worries among the four arbitrators.

Queen Empres was too arrogant and arbitrary, and sometimes even argued with him.

Dai Si's mind is too childish, just like a real naughty child.

Although Di Bello seemed honest these days, perhaps it was the stereotype brought about by what Osta had said about the girl's criminal record, he always felt that Di Bello was trying to make him suffer.

Only the taciturn Lavos seemed the most normal in comparison.

He drove the car out of the garage and parked it at the door of his house. Soon, he saw Lavos walking out of the villa with a tablet computer in his hand. After seeing him, the girl quickly walked across the courtyard and opened the passenger door.

But what puzzled him was that this ANTI-X arbitrator girl, who was so beautiful that she seemed not to belong to this world, was still wearing that thin white dress.

Even the shoes on his feet were the same ones he had ordered when he used a drone to deliver diapers a few days ago.

Even though he knew ANTI-X was not afraid of the cold, he still frowned.

"Lavos, didn't I ask you to change into some clothes for going out?"

Hearing his question, the white-haired girl who was about to close the door in the passenger seat paused and took out her tablet to type to him:
"Teacher, I don't have any other clothes to go out."

"Osta actually only prepared one set of clothes for you? What is that guy doing?"

When Lin Lan saw the words typed by the arbitrator girl on the tablet, he suddenly understood.

No wonder Enpress, Dibel, Dais and Lavos in front of him have been wearing simple white dresses these days.

So Osta didn't give the four arbitrators any other clothes at all!

However, his words made Lavos shake his head, and then blushed, and showed him on the tablet:

"The clothes that the Judge prepared for us are all of the same style. We change clothes every day."

"…6, is something he can do."

As soon as Lin Lan said this, he realized that he was actually amused by the shy ANTI-X girl who was defending him and blurted out a complaint.

Come to think of it, he hadn't felt so relaxed in a long, long time.

"Close the car door, fasten your seat belts, and let's go."

After instructing Lavos to close the door and sit tight, he drove the Rubik's Cube Energy Car with Lavos to downtown NY.

What if we know that the four arbitrator girls have no other clothes to change into?
As the saying goes, clothes make the man.

Since he had already decided not to invest too much emotion in the four ANTI-X girls, he naturally would not consider buying new clothes for them.

Otherwise, it would be terrible if I couldn't make up my mind.

Driving alone was a bit boring after all, and Lavos couldn't communicate with him normally, so Lin Lan just played the car music.

“Only you~can make all this world seem right~
"Only you~can make the darkness bright~"

Classic old music floated in the car.

Combined with the gradually prosperous city outside the car window and the light snow falling under the shining sun, such beautiful scenery made him feel relaxed and happy.

"Maybe I should go out more often to relax. This will also help my research thinking."

Lin Lan was thinking this in his heart, and he didn't notice that Lavos beside him was secretly watching him out of the corner of his eye.

In this way, he and Lavos walked in silence all the way and successfully arrived at the underground garage of the NY City supermarket.

"It's not convenient for you to go into the supermarket in your current clothes. Just wait for me in the car. I'll be back soon after shopping."

After finding a parking space and stopping, Lin Lan unbuckled his seat belt and said to Lavos beside him.

The weather is so cold now, and he is shopping in the supermarket with such a beautiful girl who is only wearing a dress. I am afraid that many people will take pictures of her and post them online.

But just as he finished speaking and was about to push open the car door and get out, he felt a pull on the back of his coat.

He turned around and saw that Lavos was holding him with one hand and holding a tablet computer with words already typed in the other:

"Teacher, don't leave me alone."

"..."

Although he knew that the other party was just an ANTI-X, after knowing the true nature of the Arbitrator's mental system, he still gasped in shock at the pitiful, weak and beautiful appearance of the silent girl.

"If you say no, then no... Never mind. It looks like I'll really have to pay for Osta's mistake today."

In the end, he couldn't resist Lavos's eyes that looked like he was about to cry, so he rubbed his head and changed his mind.

Seeing that he agreed to go shopping together, Lavos finally let him go, and a happy smile appeared on his breathtakingly beautiful and delicate face.
