After all, the numerical king of a certain Schrift D has already made it clear: only stats are the true path to supremacy.
Once stats reach a certain magnitude, they effectively become the mechanics themselves.
It used to be that Kiana's stats would crush him, but now it was finally his turn to play with a top-tier account.
"White-hair, do you yield!" At this moment, Mo Wang gave a firm slap to Kiana's stilted buttocks.
"I don't yield!" Stung by the pain, Kiana continued to shout loudly, wanting to fight Mo Wang to the death.
However, under Mo Wang's suppression, Kiana remained unable to move even an inch.
"Tch!" Mo Wang looked at Kiana with disdain.
"A bet is a bet, you need to be a good sport. It's just being my servant; it's not like I'm going to eat you, little maid."
At this moment, Mo Wang laughed with a sinister "hehehe," looking exactly like someone who had swallowed a dozen Soul Hall elders.
"Wuu! I'll bite you to death!"
Just then, Kiana bit down hard on Mo Wang's hand, as if she really intended to kill him.
"Let go! You white-haired girl, are you a dog or something!"
"So what if I am! I'll bite you to death, you jerk!" (Fun fact: if calculated by K423's age, Kiana actually was born in the Year of the Dog.)
"Enough, Mei, Bronya, you two hurry up and pull these two apart for me."
Watching this scene, Himeko and Theresa, who were watching from the sidelines, could hardly bear to look.
One was an active Valkyrie, the other was the new captain of the Hyperion.
To think they were now brawling like two children; what kind of situation was this?
At the same time, Theresa looked at the crater that had appeared in the training ground, and couldn't help but feel a wave of sorrow.
Great, just perfect.
St. Freya, which was already not exactly wealthy, had just been dealt another blow thanks to this hole.
"Alright Mo Wang, hurry up and go change your clothes. It's time to take you to the Hyperion and familiarize you with your upcoming work."
Himeko said this to Mo Wang, who had already stood up after being pulled away by Mei.
"Yes! Himeko-sensei!"
Upon hearing that he could finally go to the Hyperion, a gleam of excitement immediately appeared in Mo Wang's eyes.
Good grief, he had been here for over a year, and he could finally step onto the Hyperion!
Without even needing Himeko to say more, Mo Wang scurried off to change his clothes.
"Principal, what do you think of Mo Wang?"
Seeing Mo Wang leave, Himeko turned her head and asked Theresa, who was standing beside her.
"What do I think? With my eyes, obviously." Theresa took a sip of bitter melon juice, looking completely indifferent.
"I meant, about Mo Wang suddenly becoming stronger. Principal, do you have any thoughts on this matter?" Although Himeko was used to Theresa's flippancy, she really wished she wouldn't play dumb at a time like this.
"What could I think? Perhaps his adaptability suddenly improved? Or maybe some other reason; haven't there been many Valkyries who suddenly became stronger in the past?" Theresa shrugged.
"But those Valkyries who became stronger were all involved in those experiments." Himeko said, sounding a bit angry.
"Furthermore, I suspect this might have something to do with that person."
Himeko said this with a pointed implication.
After all, Mo Wang had just been promoted to captain, and he immediately displayed strength completely different from his usual self.
This was just too much of a coincidence.
"It's fine, Himeko." Theresa waved her hand. "Even if it is, he is still a student of our St. Freya. It's not a problem."
Mo Wang, who was currently in the locker room, had no idea what Theresa and Himeko were discussing.
But even if he did know, it wouldn't be a problem.
After all, revealing a portion of his strength was indeed part of his plan.
To be able to live safely and soundly in a place like St. Freya for a year without losing an arm or a leg—
He, Mo Wang, was not truly just a salted fish.

Chapter 7: Mo Wang: Get Yourself a Hyperion, Everyone
After changing into that classic white captain's uniform, Mo Wang proceeded directly to the Hyperion.
Of course, this Hyperion was naturally not the battlecruiser from StarCraft, that massive object written as a star fortress, nor was it the super-huge cosmic flagship from Legend of the Galactic Heroes.
The warship Mo Wang was on was a super-huge aircraft carrier (warship) built by Schicksal using all of its technology specifically to deal with the Honkai.
Although it couldn't compare to those two things built specifically for interstellar warfare, the Hyperion could truly be called a boy's dream.
After all, look at this sci-fi aesthetic, look at these charming large-caliber main cannons; what man wouldn't be mesmerized by this?
[The Slacker King of Hyperion]: Family, look at this, a one-owner warship just picked up, only used for less than 9,000 hours, basically brand new.
[The Blonde from Teyvat]: For real? Don't get scammed, how much is it? Send it over and let me see.
[The Savior of Rationality]: Your warship is subpar. Send it over, I'll help you mod it.
[The Video Store Owner]: This warship isn't great. Tell you what, I'll pay 500 bucks, let's be friends, just send it over to me.
[The Garbage King of a Certain Train]: Your warship looks like a massive energy hog, not eco-friendly at all. Send it over, I'll take care of it for you.
[The Slacker King of Hyperion]: Get lost! You guys are being way too obvious! Your schemes are practically written on your faces! Also, what do you even want with a warship?
[The Video Store Owner]: Can't I just want to show off?
[The Savior of Rationality]: Can't I just want to look cool?
[The Video Store Owner]: Can't I take a girl out for a joyride?
[The Garbage King of a Certain Train]: Wait a minute, since when did you have a girl?
[The Slacker King of Hyperion]: Something's wrong. You're acting very suspicious.
[The Video Store Owner]: No, I meant taking my little sister out for a joyride.
[The Slacker King of Hyperion]: Still suspicious. Come clean, did you go find a girl behind our backs?
[The Video Store Owner]: Screw off! You know I don't have a girlfriend! And don't try to change the subject, hand over your warship to the brothers, no hogging the goods!
[The Slacker King of Hyperion]: Wait a second, I think I actually found out that the Hyperion can be shared?
[The Slacker King of Hyperion]: Shared the Hyperion.
[The Savior of Rationality]: ?
[The Video Store Owner]: ??
[The Garbage King of a Certain Train]: ???
[The Blonde from Teyvat]: So now the Hyperion can be mass-produced? Having a Hyperion for everyone sounds pretty good.
[The Video Store Owner]: Damn, does this warship come with an AI? I feel like I can finally uninstall that power-stealing AI at my place.
[The Slacker King of Hyperion]: Don't mess around. Even if Ai-chan is there, would you dare use her? I bet she'd steal enough power to run several Fairlys.
[The Savior of Rationality]: I think this thing has potential. Let me study how to pilot it. When the time comes, I'll use the main cannon to blast some gods.
[The Video Store Owner]: Come to think of it, if the Hyperion can be shared, does that mean other things can be too?
[The Garbage King of a Certain Train]: Who knows? After all, this thing can even share a Stellaron. It seems as long as it's judged to be your own, you can upload it.
[The Slacker King of Hyperion]: Say, can Paimon be shared? Not for any other reason, just, I want a mascot.
[The Video Store Owner]: You're acting weird, but I think that's got potential.
[The Blonde from Teyvat]: You bastard, go to hell! (╬ ̄皿 ̄)=○#( ̄#)3 ̄)
At this moment, Mo Wang, who had already clicked share, scratched his head.
He felt that sharing the Hyperion this time might have been a bit of a mistake.
The thought of a Hyperion floating around in Teyvat, New Ailidou, and even in the Singularities made the whole scene feel a bit too surreal.
But, what did that have to do with him?
Anyway, that was the business of the other versions of himself.
Being happy was enough.
Mo Wang let out a sly laugh.
His expression became increasingly smug.
Looking at the Hyperion before him, he felt it looked even cooler than before.
Oh! Better check out these six 270mm railguns first. Folks, with firepower this strong, any ordinary Shikigami would be reduced to ash the moment they touched it.
And these ten close-in weapon systems, plus the super-massive electromagnetic cannon serving as the main battery.
This thing could even blast Honkai Beasts over a hundred meters tall; it could be called the most powerful weapon currently in existence.
Just like that, his fear of insufficient firepower was completely cured.
Back when he was in school, it wasn't like he hadn't been to the Hyperion before.
But what was the situation back then? Every day was just following teachers around for tours and study; forget about operating it, he wasn't even allowed to touch it.
Now, hey! This most advanced warship of Schicksal was his!
Right now, everything he saw around him looked so beautiful.
Even this cabbage looked so delicate and pretty...
Mo Wang: (ー`′ー)
Wait, cabbage?
"Ai-chan? Where did you pop out from?" Mo Wang glanced at Ai-chan, who had appeared in front of him with a fawning expression, and couldn't help but frown.
"Little Ai-chan, welcome the new Captain to the Hyperion!" Once Ai-chan heard Mo Wang address her, her expression became even more fawning. She looked just like the author of a cat.
"Can you speak normally? The way you're talking is making me a little scared." Hearing Ai-chan's words, Mo Wang felt goosebumps rising all over his skin.
What kind of bug did Ai-chan catch this time? Could she have downloaded another pirated game online and gotten a virus?
"Hehehe, I just heard that you, Mo Wang, have become Ai-chan's new boss. So, I came over specifically to hand over the work." Ai-chan scratched her head, looking a bit embarrassed.
"You, handing over work?"
Mo Wang blinked, wondering if the sun had risen in the west.
Mo Wang and Ai-chan were old acquaintances, after all.
As the saying goes, slackers are naturally drawn to one another.
From the moment he first stepped onto the Hyperion, two individuals with off-the-charts slacker energy began to exert a gravitational pull on each other.
However, if slacker energy had levels, Mo Wang considered himself to be only at level eight.
He was nowhere near Ai-chan's level ten slacker energy.
For her to actually say something about handing over work, this girl was definitely hiding something from him.
Seeming to notice Mo Wang's suspicious gaze, Ai-chan began to act shifty.
"Ahem! Boss, we've been dragging our feet for a long time now, so we should hurry up and get going." Ai-chan grabbed Mo Wang's hand and said while pulling him along, "If you want to tour the Hyperion, how about I take you on a tour next time?"
The more Ai-chan said that, the more Mo Wang felt that this commoner was trying to harm him!
Sure enough, Ai-chan led him all the way to the Captain's office.
As soon as he pushed open the Gate of Opening, a massive pile of documents came crashing down on them like a tsunami.
"Holy crap! What is all this?" Mo Wang finally managed to crawl out from the sea of documents, pointing at the pile with trembling fingers as if he had seen something terrifying.
"Hehehe, these are all the documents that Himeko accumulated while she was on vacation recently," Ai-chan said, looking rather sheepish.
"This many, all of them?" Mo Wang looked at the pile that was about to fill the entire room, looking as if he wanted to eat Ai-chan alive.
Mo Wang picked up a document at random and discovered that it was actually the recent electricity bill for the Hyperion.
No way, how did an electricity bill of five hundred thousand pop up? Even for the Hyperion, this was a bit too exaggerated!
