On how PhDs become human evil

"Did I build a ship and create you?" Bai Jie said, covering his face. "What the hell? I'm building a ship, so it should be a new ship girl, and besides, it's golden!"

There's an unspoken rule in the shipbuilding industry: ship girls appearing in white or blue light are generally mass-produced, those in purple light are rare, and those in gold light are absolute prototype ships, of which only one can exist at a time.

Therefore, there is absolutely no way that a second ship girl named Zuikaku could appear. The Zuikaku that is now in front of Bai Jie is the one he brought back. He was supposed to build a ship, but he ended up stealing someone else's ship. I guess the Sakura Empire will be devastated.

The ship girls they had invested heavily in training were just stolen away by Bai Jie...

(Well, I can probably guess the reason; it's the fault of the evil in this world again.)

Bai Jie had already guessed the general reason—the ship he built was indeed Zuikaku, but since Zuikaku already existed, it should have been another ship girl who replaced Zuikaku. However, the evil of this world forcibly distorted this fact.

Simply put, that's how it is. The evil of this world believed that since the ship was built by Bai Jie, it must belong to Bai Jie, and there was no question of substitution. So, it hacked into Zuikaku's contract through the contract ritual, changed the contractor's name to Bai Jie, and then Zuikaku was summoned by Bai Jie.

"Although I think it's impossible, could it be that the next four ships will also..."

With a heavy heart, Bai Jie awakened the other four ships. Four golden lights shot up, and four ship girls appeared before Bai Jie from the light, and then...

Looking at the bewildered Akagi, Kaga, Shoukaku, and Ayanami, Bai Jie felt that the evil of this world truly lived up to its nickname of "the pot of this world."

The commander of the Japanese Navy is probably going to jump into the sea and commit suicide.

P.S.: Why were Ayanami among the four golden beams? Because this is the modified Ayanami! That's how ruthless the evil of this world is! Just blame all the extraordinary settings on the evil of this world!

Section 318, Chapter 12: Bai Jie's Relatives

Kiana has been feeling rather upset lately because her father, who hadn't been home for twenty years, suddenly returned recently.

To be honest, Kiana's feelings towards her father are quite complicated. On one hand, because her father is a hero, she has always been proud to be the daughter of a hero, even though Bai Jie's heroic reputation is not known to most people.

On the other hand, Kiana harbors a deep resentment towards her father. Regardless of the reason, it is undoubtedly a disgrace that the pillar of the family has simply vanished for thirty years. Kiana has long decided that she will give her father a good beating when he returns.

However, after spending some time with Bai Jie, Kiana realized that her father was a really busy man, or rather, a trouble-making machine. Wherever he went, he could cause a series of problems. Last time, when she went grocery shopping with Bai Jie, they got involved in a robbery, which eventually turned into a smuggling case and took a whole day to resolve.

If even buying groceries can cause such a scene, it's not hard to imagine what kind of things Bai Jie might encounter at other times. From this perspective, Kiana really admires her father.

But now, standing on the beach, Kiana just wants to give her dad a disdainful middle finger.

Bai Jie pulled his sunglasses down a little and said to his beloved daughter, "What's wrong, Kiana? It's a rare family trip, don't you want to come down and play with us?"

“A family trip…” Kiana looked to the side and pointed to a group of people playing around. “What kind of family trip involves bringing a fleet?! And two fleets at that! What are you thinking, Mom and Dad?!”

As Kiana said, in order to make up for his mistake of not returning for twenty years, Bai Jie took Cecilia and Kiana on a family trip to Europe.

However, in addition to the family of three, Bai Jie and Cecilia's two First Fleets also came along.

Cecilia's fleet—Belfast, Cleveland, Yorktown, Bumblebee, Hood, Unicorn.

Bai Jie's fleet: Enterprise, Zuikaku, Shokaku, Akagi, Kaga, and Ayanami.

Saying that they're bringing their whole family along is a bit of an exaggeration.

Incidentally, because they became ship girls under Bai Jie's command, all five ship girls except Enterprise were enhanced to a level that transcended the ship girl realm. In the words of High School DxD, they were "Transcendent Ones" who transcended the ship girl species.

Of course, even five people combined can't beat a company.

With a slight smile, Cecilia put her arm around Bai Jie's and said, "Kiana, everyone in the branch is family to us. Besides, the Commander really can't abandon his ship girls."

"So Belfast and Enterprise came along under the pretext that the Commander needed an escort. They wouldn't bother us anyway, and they were getting bored staying at the port all the time, so it wouldn't hurt for them to come out and have some fun."

"But won't there be problems at the branch? Both main fleets are out of the way, and we're only relying on Auntie and Teacher Himeko. What if the Sirens and Ironbloods attack?"

In response to Kiana's question, Bai Jie couldn't help but reach out and flick her forehead: "Silly girl, have you forgotten who your father is? The world's strongest magic king, it's just a matter of multi-person spatial transfer across half a region, he can do it in the blink of an eye."

In other words, even if they were attacked, Bai Jie could lead everyone back immediately.

Bai Jie: Sorry, being able to teleport really does mean you can do whatever you want.

Hearing Bai Jie say that, Kiana was speechless. Just then, a hand patted her shoulder from behind: "Alright Kiana, don't be puzzled, let's play together."

"Mei?!"

Kiana turned around in surprise, and standing behind her was none other than Mei. And standing next to Mei was Bronya.

"How did you end up here?"

“I called them over. You two are close, right?” Bai Jie laughed. “While I was talking to you just now, I contacted Raiden Mei and Bronya via telepathy, and then used spatial teleportation to bring them over.”

Nodding, Mei smiled and said, "Kiana's father is really amazing. He was able to contact us from halfway around the world. I thought I was hallucinating at first."

"Well, I've caused you a lot of trouble all this time, so consider this a thank you gift. Let's have some fun this time."

Raiden Mei, Kiana, and Bronya are all members of the Military Police, responsible for maintaining order in the streets of the Far East Branch. White often gets into all sorts of trouble on the streets, so it's inevitable that Raiden Mei and the others will have to put in a lot of effort.

"Yay! I haven't seen Mei in a swimsuit in ages! I love you, Dad!"

"Don't just pounce on me like that, girl!"

--------------------------

After sending Kiana and the others to the beach to play with Enterprise and the others, Bai Jie and Cecilia went to a patch of parasols not far from Enterprise and the others.

He plopped down on the beach, letting the sweltering sea breeze blow over him, and sighed, "This kind of leisurely daily life is so good. I, Bai Jie, just want to live a peaceful life."

"Honey, this old-fashioned attitude towards life won't do."

"In terms of actual age, I'm almost a hundred years old," Bai Jie laughed. "Although from the perspective of longevity species, I'm just a little kid."

"...That's true. You're almost a hundred years old, and I'm almost fifty. Time really flies."

Cecilia's tone sounded somewhat forlorn.

Although Cecilia gained the power of eternal youth and a long lifespan under the blessing of the Honkai, that was only relative to humans, at most a hundred or two hundred years, which was insignificant compared to Bai Jie.

"What are you worried about, you idiot?"

Bai Jie gently patted her head: "How could I let you leave me after only living for a few hundred years? We will walk together until the end of time."

Bai Jie had long considered the lifespan difference between himself and his lover. Although he hadn't confirmed it, he felt that he could live until the day human history was completely wiped out, a lifespan measured in tens of millions. However, Chen, Cecilia, and others could only live for a few hundred years. If he didn't do something, the final outcome would definitely be that Bai Jie would live a lonely life.

This is also the fate of most romances between immortal beings and humans. For any immortal being who falls in love with a human, or a human who falls in love with an immortal being, lifespan is an inescapable obstacle.

In order to overcome this hurdle, Bai Jie tried many methods, and coincidentally, someone he knew had a way to grant humans a long lifespan.

That is reincarnation—strictly speaking, it is the demon reincarnation technology developed by Achuka. Through demon chess pieces, humans can be reincarnated as demons, and after being reincarnated as demons, humans can obtain the same lifespan as demons.

Therefore, after learning this fact, Bai Jie made a decision—to reincarnate all his lovers as his family members.

Humanity's evil offspring!

P.S.: Himeko is getting a wedding dress skin! I'm going to be a die-hard fan this time! Wedding dress Himeko is absolutely gorgeous! I'm dying of excitement!

P.S.: Shipbuilding produced a band called Akagi... By the way, I have a question for you all: Akagi and Taihou, are you Sakura Empire characters all yanderes?

Section 319, Chapter 13: The Secretary Ship is Equal to Half a Wedding Ship

Hearing Bai Jie's decisive words, Cecilia, though still unsure of his method for continuing their relationship, believed he must have an effective one.

Her lover has never let her down, whether it was twenty years ago or now.

“Yes, I believe you.” Cecilia gently leaned against Bai Jie’s chest.

On the beach not far away, after another round of beach volleyball, Cleveland, who was taking a break at halftime, looked at Bai Jie and Cecilia and said helplessly, "The two commanders really have a good relationship. Even from this distance, I can feel the dazzling flashbang."

“According to Lady Cecilia, Lord Bai Jie hasn’t returned for twenty years. There’s a saying in China that absence makes the heart grow fonder, isn’t there?” Belfast, still dressed in her maid outfit on the beach, sat down with a plate of freshly cut watermelon. “Miss Enterprise, aren’t you going to have some fun?”

Hearing Belfast call his name, Enterprise, who was standing next to him, paused for a moment, then smiled wryly and said, "For me, the sea is a battlefield, not a place to play. Although the commander said it's safe here, I still can't break my old habits."

Although she is a new ship girl who has only been around for a month or two, Enterprise still has all the memories of being a warship in the Pacific naval battles. In her memory, the sea is always accompanied by smoke and gunfire, and there is no leisure time at all.

Of course, companies know they don't need to think about these things now, but unfortunately, the impressions that have already been formed are really hard to change. Maybe in the future, the company's impression of the ocean can be changed, but not now.

Belfast, of course, knew the company's inner workings and laughed, "In that case, don't go into the sea. Relax on the beach, just like your sister, Miss Yorktown, and your younger sister, Miss Bumblebee."

"That's right, Enterprise, let's play volleyball together. The Sakura Empire on the other side is a bit arrogant." Bumblebee, wearing a black bikini, said while holding a volleyball.

"Oh dear, you call me 'big sister' when you can't beat me? Bumblebee, you're so immature."

"Akagi, are you provoking me? Fine, I'll take it. Let's have a one-on-one fight!"

"I wonder who it was that Luan and I beat so badly they couldn't even tell which way was which. The people from White Eagle are really good at spouting nonsense."

It has to be said that Akagi is truly an expert when it comes to provocation. Although what she said was indeed true, Bumblebee was still furious.

Just as Bumblebee rolled up his non-existent sleeves, preparing to engage Akagi in a real-life duel, Enterprise's cold voice rang out: "You say we Eagle Union only spout nonsense? Then what about your Sakura Empire, which I wipe out every day?"

"Enterprise Sister?!"

Bumblebee turned around in surprise and saw that Enterprise had changed into a black one-piece swimsuit at some point. Her beautiful white hair was tied into a ponytail and swayed behind her. She exuded a strong sense of heroism, like a female general who was no less capable than any man.

Businesses, join the battle!

Enterprise took the volleyball from Bumblebee, looked at Akagi and Kaga with a stern face, then looked past them at Zuikaku, Shoukaku, and Ayanami behind them, a cold smile playing on his lips: "Come on, open your eyes and watch carefully. Even if it's not a battle, I can wipe you all out."

"You really dare to talk big, Gray Ghost!" Zuikaku charged straight at Enterprise. "Since that's the case, don't cry if you lose. This time, I'm going to defeat you!"

"You've said this to me more than once, but have you ever won even once?"

One sentence made Ruihe's face stiffen, and the company abandoned the volleyball high, then suddenly jumped up from the beach—

"boom!"

A towering column of sand erupted behind Zuikaku, and the white volleyball had somehow become deeply embedded in the sand.

(I can't even see when she hit the ball?!)

Looking incredulously at the Enterprise that had landed again, Zuikaku swallowed hard. Even though it wasn't a battle, she could still feel the terrifying fighting spirit and oppressive aura emanating from the Enterprise.

Patting Zuikaku on the shoulder, Akagi walked over and said, "Zuikaku, relax. You're not alone in fighting this monster."

"senior?"

"Hey, Grey Ghost," Akagi said, looking at Enterprise, "if we win, how about you hand over the position of the Commander's secretary ship?"

Secretary ship.

That's the position that's generally considered to be closest to the commander among the ship girls. According to records, the probability of the secretary ship and the commander getting married is as high as 98%. The remaining 2% is because some commanders have homosexual tendencies and are not interested in ship girls.
