Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1695 Donghuang's "Little Mother"

The size of the cafeteria of the Tactical Academy in the dream world was similar to what Lin Lan had estimated.

This is a two-story building, adhering to the White Eagle camp's consistent simple design style, located near the side door of the academy.

On the way here, Lin Lan had already learned from Jianwu that Tiancheng came to this dream world every day, but the time was not fixed.

According to Ling's speculation, it is most likely because this special dream world is built on the Hai Ruo Stone, and Tiancheng is needed to stabilize the Hai Ruo core.

Speaking of Hai Ruo Stone, Lin Lan also asked Ling what it was.

Now that all the crises have been resolved, Ling naturally has nothing to hide from him:
“Hairuo Stone is actually the prototype of the Energy Cube, and its name “Hairuo” is just one of the many scientific names given by various countries in the early days of the Primordial World.

"At the first Energy Academic Exchange Summit, the Oceanic Federation and the Forward Front defined it and its derivative products as an academic code that Dad is more familiar with - [ε-cube]."

When Lin Lan heard Ling say this familiar code name, he suddenly realized.

After a long time, it turned out that Hai Ruoshi was a pure Rubik's Cube meteorite fragment that had fallen into the original world and had not yet been developed and improved into an energy Rubik's Cube.

No wonder many of the Sakura Empire's ship girls can master the Sakura Empire's secret techniques that are like gods and do not belong to the scope of ships.

"Dad should remember the 'Glimmer Project' that you carried out together with the Creator and the Judge.

“After the Mind Cube, the result of this project, came out, it quickly became the mainstream of shipbuilding in the original world, and the ε-cubes were also recycled and improved by the two poles into Energy Cubes, which to a certain extent gave it the concept of ships.

"The database records show that the Sakura Empire once regarded some ε-cubes as gifts from the gods and worshipped them in shrines. This is why the Sakura Empire ships, after they were born, have both the concepts of mythical creatures and ships."

As for the source of the mysterious power of the Sakura Empire's ship girls, Lin Lan had actually roughly guessed it after recovering all of his memories of the original world.

The truth about Hai Ruoshi revealed by Ling verified his guess.

There are still fragments of Hai Ruo in the Great Sacred Tree in his home port, but they are of no use to him and the ship girls, so they can only be kept as souvenirs.

He did not hide his conversation with Ling, but the girls who were traveling with him were not very interested in it. Instead, they were more concerned about his previous experiences in the original world.

As we chatted, we walked into the cafeteria with the girls, and what greeted us was the appetizing aroma of food.

"What's stewing here? It smells so good."

Lin Lan smelled the fragrance and looked around. The first-floor hall of the college cafeteria, which was clean and almost spotless, was empty.

It was obvious that Changfeng was busy in the cafeteria's kitchen and didn't know they had arrived.

"It seems that Changfeng is cooking in the kitchen. Commander, do you need me to send a communication to call her out?"

Jianwu also noticed this and asked him.

Lin Lan shook her head and said with a smile:
"No need. I'll go to the kitchen to find her. After all, there are so many people coming to eat suddenly. I'm afraid she can't handle it alone."

Hearing that he was going to go directly to the kitchen, Fu Bo, who had been nervous and silent all the way, quickly raised his hand:
"Commander, I'll go to the kitchen to help my sister too!"

"Why are you here to join in the fun? Just wait here. Didn't you and Miller pack a lot of milk tea? It's a good opportunity to share it with everyone."

Lin Lan could see that Fu Bo was so active because he wanted to take this opportunity to "make up for his crime".

Go to the kitchen to help Changfeng so that he can plead for the two little girls who skipped classes.

If Fu Bo went to the kitchen with him to meet Chang Feng at this time, it would most likely only have a counterproductive effect. "Wow... Then Commander, Miller and I's lives are entirely dependent on you to save them."

Fu Bo's brain reacted quickly and he guessed his intention.

After the little girl finished speaking to him pitifully, Jianwu and Franklin also pointed out where the kitchen was.

In fact, there was no need to point the direction. Even by smelling the fragrance of the food, he could roughly guess the location of the kitchen.

Let everyone take a break in the cafeteria, then Lin Lan picked up a bottle of milk tea or juice that Fu Bo had packed for him and came to the cafeteria kitchen door alone.

Standing at the door, he could clearly hear the sound of frying in the iron pan in the kitchen.

When I think about it carefully, it seems that I haven't eaten Donghuang fried food for a long time since I left Natlan.

For the Donghuang people, just listening to the sounds of pots and pans in the kitchen will awaken a certain DNA in their bodies.

With an expectant smile on his face, he waited until the sounds of cooking died down, then raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Well, is Jianwu here?"

A soft, gentle, and tender lolita voice sounded from the kitchen.

The door was opened, and a short, cute little loli with long, smooth black hair and white stockings appeared in front of Lin Lan.

She wore a white cat-ear-shaped headscarf on her head, and a small and exquisite black Donghuang short robe. Like Fubo and Feiyun, she also wore a white lace apron like a maid's outfit.

There was no doubt that the cute little girl who opened the door, looked up at him with her light brown eyes wide open was Changfeng, the lead ship of the Donghuang Changfeng-class destroyer.

"Ah... Commander? You're here so soon?"

"It's me. Nice to meet you, Changfeng. I heard from Jianwu that you were preparing a banquet in the kitchen, so I came to help."

Lin Lan smiled, squatted down, looked at Changfeng who was a little overwhelmed by his arrival, and spoke softly.

"Wow... I just finished cooking and there's still some oil on me. Commander, please wait for me for a moment!"

However, what he didn't expect was that Changfeng, who had come to his senses, blushed, left these words and ran back to the kitchen.

Under his astonished gaze, Changfeng took off his apron, took out a new white apron from the ship's storage space, put it on, and returned again.

With a warm smile on her face, Chang Feng, who had put on a new apron, stood in front of him, took a deep breath, and spoke as if to suppress the joy in her heart:

"Hello, Commander. I am Changfeng, the first ship of the Changfeng-class destroyer. Nice to meet you! Whether it's work or housework, please leave it to me~
"Originally, I should have waited until I met the Commander at the port to introduce myself, but the Commander suddenly came to visit today, so it's okay to tell him now~
"I have heard about the commander's careful care for Feiyun. Feiyun has caused the commander a lot of trouble. I will discipline her in the future."

Looking at the cute and polite little Donghuang Lolita in front of her, Lin Lan couldn't help but sigh that Changfeng's personality was completely different from her two younger sisters.

Just by meeting her for the first time, he felt that Changfeng's petite body exuded an aura of kindness like that of a virtuous mother.

Is this what they call an elder sister is like a mother?
"It's all what I'm supposed to do... huh? Is something blurry?"

Lin Lan gently reached out and rubbed Changfeng's head. She was talking with a smile when she suddenly smelled a pungent smell coming from the kitchen and frowned.
