Although Lin Lan had already known this through JUUs updates and Zhan Xian's previous words, he still showed a bright smile and replied:
"To be honest, I really didn't expect that the New Year would be celebrated as soon as I returned to Minato."
What he said was not a joke.
While in Oran, he and the White Eagle girls spent Christmas on the Xinyang artificial island.
After Christmas, he headed to Liaozhou, and happened to catch up with Chongying's New Year's Day festival through the Menfei network.
This time, after returning to the port area, I caught up with the Donghuang Spring Festival as soon as I woke up.
What a coincidence.
But when Lin Lan said this, Her Majesty the Queen laughed out loud:
"Well~ I know that Donghuang's New Year emphasis is on reunion.
"Servant, you should look at the date. Two or three days have passed since the Donghuang New Year. Only if you wake up will everyone celebrate the Donghuang New Year happily."
After saying that, Queen Elizabeth fumbled around in the pocket of her blue cheongsam, took out a bulging red paper envelope, and handed it to Lin Lan.
"This...couldn't it be a red envelope?"
Lin Lan blankly took the envelope handed to him by Her Majesty the Queen.
He saw the royal camp lion's head printed with golden patterns on the red envelope, and asked Elizabeth with her arms akimbo in disbelief.
"Otherwise? What's in the red envelope is the New Year's money that I prepared for you, my servant. Accept it with gratitude!"
Hearing Queen Elizabeth, who was obviously a lolita, say such arrogant words, Lin Lan couldn't help but said with joy:
"I always feel that I should be the one sending you red envelopes..."
"What? I didn't hear what your servant said clearly. Can you say it again?"
Before Lin Lan finished speaking, he noticed Her Majesty the Queen's dissatisfied eyes glaring at him.
"Well, I said thank you to Her Majesty the Queen for the New Year's money. Thank you Her Majesty the Queen!"
What he said in mid-sentence was changed into a solemn thank you.
Queen Elizabeth obviously doesn't want to be treated like a little lolita on a destroyer or submarine.
So in the end, Lin Lan could only smile and put the red envelope stuffed with red points into his Sumeru Ring.
"It's almost time, Commander, Your Majesty, let's set off."
After Zhan Xie took out his phone to check the time and finished speaking, Lin Lan simply asked Belfast and Dido to tidy up his appearance, and then walked out of his back house with several royal ship girls.
Chapter 918 The pranks of the ship girls are becoming increasingly difficult to guard against
As soon as he went out, Lin Lan noticed that a black stretch limousine had been parked at the door of his office building.
"This is the Rubik's Cube energy robot that I just asked Beifa to contact to pick you up. Everyone, please get in the car."
Lin Lan heard Queen Elizabeth's explanation and understood where the car came from.
As soon as he and several royal ship girls got into the car, they saw a white-haired Rubik's Cube energy robot girl sitting in the driver's seat, also wearing a black Donghuang style high-cut cheongsam.
"Teacher, Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year, Ariel."
Hearing the Rubik's Cube energy robot girl wishing him a happy new year with a smile on her face, Lin Lan smiled and called out her name.
As the core of the Rubik's Cube energy robot host, Ariel can take over any body at any time.
The Rubik's Cube energy robot body sitting in the driver's seat is undoubtedly Ariel's main will.
After everyone got in the car, Ariel skillfully started the accelerator and started driving along the road towards the cross-sea bridge leading to the main island of the home port.
Queen Elizabeth and Warspite sat on either side of Lin Lan.
But Lin Lan found that they were all typing something on their mobile phones with their heads down, as if they were notifying the party that they had set off with him.
Seeing the two petite royal battleship ladies busy, Lin Lan did not speak to them.
After a while, their car drove onto the cross-sea bridge.
Lin Lan was admiring the sparkling ocean reflected out of the car window under the bright midday sun, while talking to Ariel and asking:
"Ariel, are you used to living in the port area during this time?"
"Thanks to the teacher, everyone in the port area is very kind to Ariel, and Ariel can also provide everyone with help to the best of her ability. Ariel is very happy and happy."
As a Rubik's Cube energy robot, Ariel can completely multi-task when driving a car, and answered Lin Lan with a smile.
Although Lin Lan had already guessed the answer Ariel would give.
But hearing Ariel say that she was very happy, a smile from the bottom of her heart still appeared on his face.
He still remembered that when Ariel was on the host data tower in Hengyue City, she resolutely chose to sacrifice herself in order to protect him and the White Eagle girls from being affected by the energy explosion.
Perhaps it was precisely because of Ariel's decision when she obtained the Omnic Heart that Ariel was accepted by his ship girls so quickly.
Before Lin Lan could recall too much of his previous memories, Ariel took the initiative and smiled at him:
"Teacher, Ariel has learned from the data what you did in Liaozhou. You actually became a hero who saved the world. How amazing!"
"What kind of hero saves the world? If you really want to say that, everyone in Minato is a hero."
Lin Lan was amused by Ariel's compliment.
He just filled a hole in the boundary center at that time.
The real main force fighting against the X-corrupted goddess and her infected body projections is still his ship girls.
He won't take all the credit for himself.
"Yes, we are all heroes... Then teacher, will Ariel have the opportunity to fight those monsters and save the world like everyone else in the future?"
Ariel almost blindly agreed with all Lin Lan's views.
Since Lin Lan said that the heroes who save the world are everyone in the port area, Ariel naturally thinks that this is the case.
"If you want it, there must be a chance."
Lin Lan heard that Ariel also wanted to participate in the battle with X, and said with a smile:
"When the new generation of unmanned warship command system in the Star Sea Base is completed, Ariel, you can control those warships to help us."
"Really? Ariel will definitely try her best to help the teacher and everyone!"
The girl who was driving the Rubik's Cube Energy Robot had an excited tone in her voice, and it was obvious that she was very interested in Lin Lan's plan.
"Of course it's true..."
However, just as Lin Lan was mid-sentence and their vehicle reached the center of the cross-sea bridge, something strange happened.
Lin Lan was shocked to see that the originally clear sky at noon outside his car window began to darken visibly to the naked eye.
And from the sea, dozens of thick dark green tentacles quickly emerged and rushed towards them!
"Be careful! An enemy is coming!"
Lin Lan's expression immediately changed, and he only had time to remind him loudly.
Before he could react, their vehicle was wrapped in tentacles and lifted directly from the viaduct to hang in the air!
"Why are there enemies in the port area? Could it be that the defenses in the outer sea area have been breached?"
He quickly analyzed the battle situation in his mind, and almost instinctively began to gather elemental power, intending to open the car door and attack the tentacles attacking them.
But he soon realized something was wrong.
Except for him, everyone in the car looked at him with suppressed smiles on their faces, and there was no trace of panic at all.
Especially Queen Elizabeth and Warspite on both sides of him took the initiative to hold him down, as if to prevent him from really rushing out.
The next second, several bursts of bright laughter that Lin Lan was familiar with came from the mobile phone placed by Queen Elizabeth on her lap:
"Ahaha~ It seems that the prank that Sister Sara and Big Mackerel prepared for the commander was a big success!"
"Queen, Queen! Point your phone screen at the Commander. We are all eager to see the Commander's wonderful expression!"
"Did Dailan succeed? Sarah, please let us all see the commander!"
Her Majesty the Queen, who was covering her mouth to suppress her laughter, picked up her phone and pointed the front camera at him.
Lin Lan saw at a glance the two cute smiling faces of Saratoga and Big Mackerel on the phone screen.
In addition to Saratoga and Big Mackerel, Lin Lan also saw Sims, U81, Shimakaze and other little lolis from various camps, all crowding around and trying to get a look at him.
Not only that, but a deep female voice that seemed to penetrate directly into the soul also passed directly into the car through the car window:
"Great Master, your loyal servant Dailan welcomes you back, and wishes the great Master a Happy New Year!"
As he finished speaking, Lin Lan turned his head to look at the ocean and discovered that Leviathan Dailan, whose original dark green body was slowly rising.
Dailan's huge body was actually hung with various Donghuang Festival decorations and red lanterns that emitted red light.
Leviathan, a legendary beast in the Teaching Kingdom, was dressed so happily that it almost made Lin Lan's eyes fall out of shock.
Several stray bullet-like light groups soared into the sky from Dai Lan's body, bursting into brilliant colorful fireworks in the dim sky.
Hearing the sound of fireworks exploding, Lin Lan finally came back to his senses from his brief sluggish state.
This turned out to be a false alarm, a prank that Saratoga and the others had prepared for him!
Lin Lan was not an idiot. He figured out the cause and effect almost instantly. He was angry and funny for a while.
Since the new friends of this group of little lolita joined Minato, their pranks have also begun to be updated and iterated, becoming more and more difficult for him to guard against.
Fortunately, Fushun and Feiyun from the Donghuang camp have not returned to the port area yet, otherwise what would happen?
"Okay, the masterminds are Little Jiajia and Big Mackerel, right? You guys, just wait for me, I will come to take care of you right away!"
Lin Lan shook his fist at the little lolita who were giggling on the screen of Elizabeth's mobile phone, and threatened them with a smile.
And this also made the little lolita on the other side of the phone smile even more happily.

"Wow! The Royal Ark is coming, everyone, run!"
I don't know who made the exclamation with a smile. Before Lin Lan could continue to say something to Saratoga and the others, the video communication was hung up by Little Gaga.
Queen Elizabeth, who was holding her mobile phone, couldn't help but darken when she heard the last voice from the mobile phone.
"Servant, it seems that your good cellmate has escaped from prison again."
Her Majesty the Queen's helpless words made Lin Lan smile and shake her head.
Today is the Spring Festival, and it would be too pitiful for Ark Royal to still be locked up in a solitary room.
It would also be good to release Ark Royal to liven up the atmosphere.
He believed that if they were here, they would never let Royal Ark do whatever they wanted.
Then Lin Lan looked at Dailan outside the car window.
Not sure if it was his imagination, but he felt that Dailan's body was now much larger than before on the artificial island of Xinyang.
It is even as big as the Sea Lord who once lived in Unkai City.
An interesting idea jumped out of his mind uncontrollably.
Could it be that Dailan got fat because she had enough food in the port area without hunting?
Of course, he definitely couldn't ask such words in front of Dai Lan.
"Happy New Year, Dailan, who designed your outfit? It fits the New Year atmosphere of Donghuang so well."
Lin Lan rolled down the window and joked to Leviathan, who was still releasing fireworks and holding them high with his tentacles as they swam towards the main island of their home port.
"The great masters are Big Mackerel and the others.
"They told me that this festival is as important to the master as the Day of the Teaching Country Kanzawa."
Dailan's voice came directly through some kind of spiritual channel, so even if it turned into its true form, it would be no different from the human form when it reached the ears of Lin Lan and others.
"Kanzawa Ri? Well, it seems that I still know too little about the Teaching Kingdom."
