Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1697: The Never-Ending "Great Construction"

"Commander, it's time to get up."

In a daze, Lin Lan slowly opened his eyes while lying on the bed.

The one who woke him up from his sleep was none other than Dunkirk, who was waiting by his side.

This is still the duty dormitory of the courtroom with the curtains drawn.

He glanced at the sunlight shining into the room through the gap in the curtains, and the brightness proved that the time was almost noon.

Looking at the silver-haired Iris Knight who was looking at him with a smile, he shook his head to regain consciousness.

"It seems that the commander had a good dream. He had a smile on his face the whole time he was asleep."

Dunkirk said in a gentle tone, putting on the commander's uniform jacket he took off before going to bed.

“It’s a beautiful dream indeed.”

Recalling everything that she had experienced in the dream world with the ships that had not yet been built and Caibri, Lin Lan showed a faint smile of reminiscence on her face.

After lunch at the Tactical Academy, he accompanied the girls to the beach in the afternoon to observe their actual combat training exercises.

Although he didn't have dinner, with Ling's reminder, he had already arranged various matters for Changfeng, Jianwu and Franklin.

Especially after meeting Tiancheng, he also handed over the task of collecting opinions from various camps on Cruise 2.0 to Franklin and Changfeng.

Finally, he and several ship girls made an appointment to meet in the port area in the near future.

If Dunkirk, who is accompanying him now, has a full favorability towards him, Lin Lan feels that the favorability of the Donghuang and White Eagle ship girls in the dream world towards him has reached about 80.

Once they are all built, a "flash marriage" probably won't be a problem.

While changing clothes with the help of Dunkirk, Lin Lan told the Iris Knight what he had seen and heard in his dream.

Upon learning that there would be new companions joining the port, Dunkirk's eyes showed anticipation.

For the ship girls who have been with him for many years, the addition of fresh blood to the port area is no longer a rare thing.

"Commander, Iris' banquet venue has been set up. We can prepare to set off."

Dunkirk was not idle while he was sleeping, and ironed all the clothes he took off.

"Well, what about Richelieu and the others?"

"Commander, you can wait in the courtroom hall. They will be down with us soon."

Lin Lan nodded, but her eyes were focused on the mobile terminal that Dunkirk had placed on the bedside table.

Although the mobile terminal was in sleep mode, Ling had woken up and must be living inside his mobile terminal.

He still remembered what Ling had told him, that she was going to transfer all the permissions of the Antix host to the Observer.

Considering that Ling was rather introverted by nature, it seemed that he would have to discuss this matter with the observer in person later during the banquet.

Then he went to the courtroom hall with Dunkirk.

After Richelieu, Veneto and the others changed into their gorgeous gowns for the banquet and went downstairs, everyone set out for the auditorium of the Iris temporary port.

Even the two "great pirates" Royal Fortune and Jean Bart changed into light evening gowns.

When he gave her an admiring look, Royal Fortune naturally puffed out her chest in pride, while Jean Bale blushed and turned away, not daring to look him in the eye. On the way, when they learned that he had gone to a special dream world in the port area after falling asleep, the ship girls all felt very normal, except Helena meta, who acted quite surprised:

"I didn't expect the Commander to be able to enter that special dream world. Because that world uses the power of Hai Ruo exerted by Tiancheng as the energy singularity, even Qifeng meta and I cannot enter it."

It was rare to see Hei Hai's mother showing a look of surprise, Lin Lan smiled and said:

"I have already upgraded to become a cube concept god, and with the dream connection and binding that Tiancheng performed on me last night, this is reasonable."

"Yeah, that's what the commander said."

Hei Hai Ma nodded, then stroked her chin and suggested to him as if she was lost in thought:
“Originally, this dream world was just a training ground for new companions that we created in order to help you who are far away in Natlan. It was not intended to be open permanently.

"But now that the concept of a new companion's ship has been added, it seems that it might not be a bad idea to preserve this dream world."

After hearing what Helena meta said, Lin Lan felt something was wrong:
"Wait, when you and Tempalans left the port area for Natlan, Changbo, Franklin and the others hadn't entered the dream world yet?"

"exactly."

The mother of Hei Hai, who was wearing a black gauze dress, smiled at him:
"It seems that it is because the commander returned from the city-state world that their ship concept can be anchored in the dream world created by Amagi and Antix.

"So Commander, as long as you stay with us, more and more ship concepts will be added to the port in the future... just like they were built by you in the past."

Helena's firm words not only made him open his eyes wide, but also made Richelieu, Veneto and Frederick Karl, who were traveling with him, see their eyes light up.

If this is true, more and more core members from the Iris, Iron Blood and Sardinia camps will come to the port area in the future.

Only Royal Wealth
Lin Lan quickly realized that Helena's meta also refers to the fact that Blue Star's games will continue to implement more and more ship girls in the future.

Maybe one day he will really be able to see Donghuang’s modern ships transformed into ship girls!

"Huhu~ It's too early to discuss those things now. Commander and everyone should focus on the present~"

With Helena meta's smiling reminder, Lin Lan suppressed the anticipation in his heart and turned to look ahead on the road.

As if with the help of some kind of magic, the Iris Temporary Port was filled with white, holy iris petals that looked like snowflakes, which was extremely beautiful.

The melodious hymns that seemed to cleanse the soul echoed in his ears, making him feel so deeply how happy it was to be with the girls every day.

He raised his hand, and a white petal fell into his palm, then slowly turned into magic particles and dissipated.

"Commander, according to what the observer told us in the communication, we will be able to set out on the journey back to our home port by tomorrow evening at the latest, and we will be able to reunite with our comrades from other camps the day after tomorrow."

Seeing him staring at the iris petals in his hand, Richelieu smiled softly and said to him:
"The Iris Theocracy in the port area is more beautiful and pleasant than here. We welcome the commander at any time."

Seeing this, Veneto interrupted and said:

"The exquisiteness of the Sardinian Empire in the home port is far beyond the temporary port area, and I plan to renovate it after I return!"

"Okay, okay, I'll come visit often after I get back. Put it away, you should help me with the decoration layout of the command island."

After hearing what he said, Richelieu and Veneto both fell into deep thought.

The Command Island in the port area, where the commander's office and dormitory are located, will often change its decoration style according to the camp and season.

They should really consider how to create a more eye-catching decoration style for the command island after the commander returns home.
