After all, a certain Saint Letter D stat king had already made it clear: only stats were the true path to greatness.
Once stats reached a certain level, they became a mechanic in themselves.
Kiana had always crushed him with her stats before, but now it was finally his turn to play a top-tier account.
"White-haired girl, do you admit defeat?" Mo Wang said, giving Kiana's perky butt a hard slap.
"I don't!" Kiana cried out in pain, still shouting that she wanted to fight Mo Wang to the death.
But under Mo Wang's suppression, Kiana could not move an inch.
"Tch." Mo Wang looked at Kiana disdainfully.
"A bet was a bet. Look on the bright side. You're just becoming my servant—I'm not going to eat you, little maid."
Mo Wang gave a sinister cackle, looking as though he had swallowed a dozen Soul Hall elders.
"Urgh! I'll bite you to death!"
At that moment, Kiana sank her teeth into Mo Wang's hand as if she truly intended to bite him to death.
"Let go! White-haired girl, are you a dog or something?!"
"So what if I am?! I'll bite you to death, you bastard!" (Fun fact: based on K423's age, Kiana really was born in the Year of the Dog.)
"That's enough. Mei, Bronya, hurry up and pull these two apart for me."
Watching this scene, Himeko and Theresa, who had been observing from the side, practically could not bear to look.
One was an active Valkyrie, and the other was the Hyperion's new Captain.
Yet they were actually rolling around and fighting like two children. What was this supposed to be?
At the same time, Theresa looked at the crater that had appeared in the training grounds and could not help feeling sorrow well up inside her.
Well, that was just great.
St. Freya had never been wealthy to begin with, and now this hole had made things even worse.
"All right, Mo Wang, hurry up and change your clothes. It's time to take you to the Hyperion and familiarize you with your upcoming duties."
Himeko said this to Mo Wang, who had already gotten to his feet after Mei pulled him away.
"Yes, Teacher Himeko!"
The moment he heard that he could finally go to the Hyperion, Mo Wang's eyes immediately lit up with excitement.
Good lord, after more than a year here, he could finally board the Hyperion!
Himeko did not even need to say anything else before Mo Wang dashed off to change his clothes.
"Principal, what do you think of Mo Wang?"
After seeing Mo Wang leave, Himeko turned to Theresa beside her and asked.
"What do I think? I use my eyes, obviously." Theresa took a sip of bitter melon juice, looking utterly unconcerned.
"I mean Mo Wang suddenly becoming stronger. Principal, do you have any thoughts about that?" Although Himeko was used to Theresa being unreliable, this was not the time for her to act cute.
"What else could it be? Maybe his adaptability suddenly improved? Or maybe there was some other reason. Haven't plenty of Valkyries suddenly become stronger before?" Theresa spread her hands.
"But those Valkyries who became stronger were all connected to those experiments." Himeko sounded somewhat angry.
"And I suspect this may have something to do with that person."
Himeko spoke pointedly.
After all, Mo Wang had just been promoted to Captain, and then he immediately displayed strength completely unlike his usual self.
That was far too much of a coincidence.
"It's fine, Himeko." Theresa waved her hand. "Even if it is, he's still a student of St. Freya. There won't be a problem."
Mo Wang, who was currently in the changing room, had no idea what Theresa and Himeko were discussing.
But even if he knew, it would not have been a problem.
After all, revealing part of his strength had indeed been one of his plans.
To live peacefully for a year in a place like St. Freya without losing any arms or legs—
Mo Wang was not really just some useless slacker.
Daily Failure Log, Day Three: I heard the big shots in the group say that they could get several hundred bookmarks as soon as they published a book. As a failure, all I could do was look up to them... 6
Mo Wang: How About a Hyperion for Everyone?
After changing into the classic white Captain's uniform, Mo Wang headed straight for the Hyperion.
Of course, this Hyperion was neither the enormous monstrosity from StarCraft that was called a battlecruiser but was really a space fortress, nor the supermassive space flagship from Legend of the Galactic Heroes.
The warship Mo Wang was on was a colossal aircraft carrier—warship—specially built by Schicksal using all of its technology to combat Honkai.
Although it could not compare to those two things designed specifically for space warfare, the Hyperion could absolutely still be called a boy's dream.
Just look at that sci-fi design, those charming large-caliber main guns. What man would not be captivated by that?
The Slacker King of Hyperion: Guys, check out this newly acquired warship, personally used by a girl. Less than 9,000 hours on it, practically brand new.
The Blonde from Teyvat: Really? Don't get scammed. How much is it? Send me the details.
The Savior of Rationality: That warship of yours isn't good enough. Send it over and I'll modify it for you.
The Video Store Owner: This warship isn't much. How about this—I'll give you 500 bucks to make friends. Send it over.
The Garbage King of a Certain Train: That warship clearly consumes too much energy. It's not environmentally friendly at all. Send it over and I'll dispose of it for you.
The Slacker King of Hyperion: Get lost! Your map of Yan is way too short! Your schemes are written all over your faces! And what do you guys even want a warship for?
The Video Store Owner: Can't I use it to show off?
The Savior of Rationality: Can't I use it to look cool?
The Video Store Owner: Can't I take girls for a ride in it?
The Garbage King of a Certain Train: Wait, since when did you have girls?
The Slacker King of Hyperion: Something's off. You're very suspicious.
The Video Store Owner: No, I meant taking my little sister for a ride.
The Slacker King of Hyperion: Something's off. Tell us the truth—did you secretly find yourself a girl?
The Video Store Owner: Screw off! Wouldn't you know whether I have a girlfriend?! And stop trying to change the subject. Hurry up and hand over your warship to your brothers. Don't hog it all for yourself!
The Slacker King of Hyperion: Wait, I think I really found something. The Hyperion can actually be shared?
The Slacker King of Hyperion: Shared Hyperion.
The Savior of Rationality: ?
The Video Store Owner: ??
The Garbage King of a Certain Train: ???
The Blonde from Teyvat: So the Hyperion can be mass-produced now? A Hyperion for everyone actually works.
The Video Store Owner: Holy crap, does this warship come with an AI? I feel like I can uninstall that electricity-stealing artificial intelligence at my place now.
The Slacker King of Hyperion: Stop messing around. Even with Ai-chan, would you dare use her? The electricity she steals could probably power several Fairlys.
The Savior of Rationality: I think this thing has potential. Let me study how to operate it first. Then I'll use the main cannon to blow up an Archon.
The Video Store Owner: Come to think of it, if the Hyperion can be shared, can other things be shared too?
The Garbage King of a Certain Train: No idea. After all, even Stellarons can be shared. It seems like as long as something is judged to belong to you, it can be uploaded.
The Slacker King of Hyperion: So, can Paimon be shared? Not for any particular reason. I just want a mascot.
The Video Store Owner: You're suspicious, but I think it has potential.
The Blonde from Teyvat: Fuck you, die! (╬ ̄皿 ̄)=○#( ̄#)3 ̄)
Mo Wang, who had already clicked Share, scratched his head.
It felt like something was not quite right about sharing the Hyperion this time.
When he imagined a Hyperion floating through Teyvat, New Ailidou, and even the Singularity, the whole picture somehow seemed a little too beautiful.
But what did that have to do with him?
Those were the other versions of him's problems anyway.
As long as it was fun, that was enough.
Mo Wang let out a smug little laugh.
His expression became increasingly pleased with itself.
As he looked at the Hyperion before him, he found it more and more handsome.
Oh! Better check out these six 270mm orbital cannons first. Guys, with firepower this strong, ordinary Shikigami would turn to ash from even the slightest touch.
And there were ten close-in weapon systems, plus the enormous electromagnetic cannon serving as the main gun.
This thing could even blow up Honkai Beasts over a hundred meters tall. It was practically the strongest firepower weapon available right now.
In one go, it cured his fear of insufficient firepower.
He had not never visited the Hyperion during class before.
But what had the situation been then? Every day, he followed teachers around on tours and study sessions. Forget operating anything himself—he was not even allowed to touch it.
But now, hey! Schicksal's most advanced warship was his!
Everything around him seemed so wonderful now.
Even this cabbage looked so delicate and refined...
Mo Wang: (ー`′ー)
Wait, cabbage?
"Ai-chan? Where the hell did you pop out from?" Mo Wang looked at Ai-chan, who had appeared before him with a flattering expression, and could not help frowning.
"This humble Ai-chan welcomes the new Captain to the Hyperion!" Once she heard Mo Wang call her, Ai-chan's expression became even more ingratiating. She looked just like the author of Cats.
"Can you talk normally? The way you're speaking is kind of scaring me." Mo Wang got goosebumps as soon as he heard Ai-chan's words.
What was wrong with Ai-chan? Surely she had not downloaded another pirated learning game from the internet and gotten a virus again?
"Hehe, didn't I hear that you became Ai-chan's new boss, Mo Wang? So I came over specifically to hand over the work." Ai-chan scratched her head awkwardly.
"You're handing over work?"
Mo Wang blinked, wondering whether the sun had risen in the west.
Mo Wang and Ai-chan went way back.
As they said, slackers were drawn to one another.
From the first time he boarded the Hyperion, the two people whose slacking powers were off the charts had started exerting gravitational pull on each other.
But if slacking power had levels, Mo Wang considered himself only level eight.
He was nowhere near Ai-chan's level-ten slacking power.
For her to actually say she wanted to hand over work, she had to be hiding something from him.
As though she had noticed Mo Wang's suspicious gaze, Ai-chan's eyes began to dart around.
"Ahem! Boss, we've delayed long enough. Let's hurry over there." Ai-chan grabbed Mo Wang's hand as she led him away. "If you want to tour the Hyperion, Ai-chan can show you around next time, okay?"
The more Ai-chan said that, the more Mo Wang felt that some villain was trying to harm him!
Sure enough, Ai-chan led him all the way to the Captain's Office.
The moment the door opened, a massive pile of documents crashed down on them like a tsunami.
"Holy crap! What is all this?" Mo Wang finally crawled out of the sea of documents, trembling as he pointed at the stack as if he had seen something terrifying.
"Hehe, these are all the documents Himeko piled up while she was on vacation recently," Ai-chan said sheepishly.
"All of this? Every single one?" Mo Wang looked at the documents, which nearly filled the entire room, as though he wanted to eat Ai-chan alive.
Mo Wang casually picked up a document and discovered that it was the Hyperion's recent electricity bill.
No, how had an electricity bill of five hundred thousand come about? Even for the Hyperion, that was way too outrageous!
