On how PhDs become human evil

"No, it's nothing... Speaking of which, you really are an idiot. As a marksman, you can't even kite. It's really embarrassing. Where did you get the confidence to act so recklessly in front of a warrior?"

The sudden lecture stunned Hua Jia Da Wo. Clearly, this doctor had never played online games.

With a sigh, Bai Jie said, "Listen up, as an ADC, the most important thing is to play defensively. According to the game's progress, you're only in the early game right now. Just stay behind your teammates and deal damage. Why go in and recklessly charge in?"

"Um... I've always fought all by myself."

"So you're an idiot! If you're going to be a lone wolf, why play ADC? Wouldn't it be better to play a tank or a fighter? Everyone knows that in this version, ADCs are walking ATMs when split pushing!"

(P.S.: That's why I always play support Bai Qi in King of Glory, and I always win without any support.)

Listening to Bai Jie impart his ADC experience to him, Hua Jia Da Wo couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression: "Then, senior, what should I... do now?"

Without much thought, Bai Jie gave him a six-word mantra: "Play it safe and don't be reckless."

Play it safe... develop stealthily?

I was stunned by Hua Jiada's actions. How could a man of such stature do something so shameful?

As if sensing his inner concerns, Bai Jie chuckled disdainfully: "Heh, I know what you're thinking, but let me tell you, you're not a Showa-era veteran, you can't fight monsters with your bare hands, so throw away your worthless pride."

"Also, you probably can't transform without this, right?"

After fiddling with the cartridge in his hand, Bai Jie suddenly gripped it tightly, and crimson energy surged into the cartridge, gradually turning its original color into grayish-white.

"Hey! What are you doing! Stop it!"

"Want it? Here you go." Bai Jie tossed the cassette he had ruined to Hua Jia Da Ge. "In exchange, you can have this."

From who knows where, another cassette tape was taken out and thrown in front of Hua Jia Da Wo by Bai Jie.

"Well, as your senior, that's all I can do for you. If you encounter any problems with this cartridge, come to Narumi's office, and I'll help you upgrade it, though it will cost you money. — See you then."

A green hurricane swept across the wilderness, and by the time Hua Jia Dawo came to his senses, Bai Jie had already disappeared into the storm.

With great effort, Hua Jia Dawei picked up the game cartridge that Bai Jie had thrown in front of him. The game displayed on it was—【Heavenly Fire Judgment】.

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

Shotaro: "Oh, Professor, you've finished yours too? How did it go?"

Bai Jie: "I'm fine. How about over there?"

Gentaro Kisaragi: "I had a proper one-on-one fight with that guy and taught him a lot. Doctor, have you been teaching any of the new recruits over there?"

Bai Jie: "I taught him a little, and then gave him a prop."

Philip: "Props? What props?"

Bai Jie: "Heavenly Fire Judgment".

Three people: Σ(っ°Д °;)っ!

P.S.: Update

P.S.: Just now, I did five single pulls, and finally got a character card on the fifth pull, but when I turned around—damn it, Triumph! My Triumph was almost 3 seconds old! And my Triumph was only level 1 and hadn't even been leveled up! I might as well have gotten a Ranger instead!

P.S.: In Ex-Aid, I still really like Hana Taiga. He was so cool and handsome when he first appeared, but later on... the little angel turned into an invincible dad, with a level 100 Gacha cartridge. Even though his motorcycle is just a means of transportation, at least he can teleport. Only Hana Taiga is still stuck with a level 50 Gacha cartridge. In the spin-off, he finally gets to transform into Chronos and gets beaten up. So, I'll give him a little power-up.

Section 69, Chapter 7: Doctor: I'm being targeted.

Nearly two months have passed since the training of Hojo, Emu, and the other three. It's Saturday again, and for Haku, today is a very special day.

Separated from him by Asia, the woman he wanted to let go of yet also wanted to hold on to—Cecilia Shaniat—would arrive at Osaka International Airport at 5 p.m.

To be honest, as a married man, Bai Jie didn't want to have affairs everywhere. He had Chen, and at most, he might have Talulah. Bai Jie had never had any special feelings for Cecilia, after all, their nominal mother-son relationship was there.

However, after arriving in this other world, the two of them finally changed.

First up is Cecilia.

In fact, Cecilia and Bai Jie lived together for the first four years. Their rooms in Narumi's office were separated by only one wall. After four years of mental preparation, Cecilia finally broke through the shackles of traditional ideas and began to subtly hint at her feelings to Bai Jie.

Although Bai Jie has low emotional intelligence, he is not stupid, not to mention that he has Akiko Narumi by his side helping Cecilia.

Unlike Cecilia, Bai Jie had always treated Cecilia as his mother and respected her. So, when faced with Cecilia, Bai Jie chose to stall for time and send Cecilia to Europe.

Bai Jie had some connections within the Japanese government, so it wasn't difficult for him to arrange a televised lottery and have Cecilia win the grand prize and travel to Europe. Things went smoothly, Cecilia went to Europe, and stayed for four years.

Four years had passed, and Bai Jie thought Cecilia had lost hope in him and was starting to find him a stepfather. But to his surprise, Cecilia was still waiting for him, which gave Bai Jie a real headache—he truly loved Chen wholeheartedly!

Anyway... let's go to the airport first.

With that thought in mind, Bai Jie pushed open the door of Narumi's office, hailed a taxi on the roadside, and got in.

——————————————————————————————

Osaka International Airport.

Bai Jie raised his hand to check his watch and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's 4:28 PM, there's still plenty of time, I can adjust my mindset."

Bai Jie found a seat in the lobby and was just about to take out his phone when he heard a voice behind him.

"Are you Dr. Bai Jie, known as Japan's number one brain?"

Such a voice rang in Bai Jie's ears. Bai Jie did not turn around, but silently stood up: "Excuse me, I think you have mistaken me for someone else."

"I couldn't possibly mistake you for someone else, Kamen Rider Doctor. Let me introduce myself. My name is Swartz, and I'm a Time Jacker."

Bai Jie's vision blurred, and a man in a purple robe appeared in front of him. The instant the man appeared, Bai Jie clearly noticed that everything around him had stopped.

This feeling is exactly the same as time stopping.

"It may be impolite to say this, but I hope you can become my companion in choosing a new king to avoid the worst possible future."

"Oh? A king?" Bai Jie raised an eyebrow. "I'm not interested. Go find someone else."

“That won’t do. Your brain is a very important thing. With your help, I believe the birth of the new king will definitely be much faster.”

"Unfortunately, for someone like you who doesn't look like a good person, my answer is always NO!"

Hearing Bai Jie's blunt reply, Swartz turned his head and then a cold smile appeared on his lips: "To me, you are the kind of person who must be dealt with if you can't win me over. Since you refuse to cooperate with me, then I can only deal with you."

Do you think you can do it?

"Heh, what do you think?" Swartz sneered, then his hand suddenly glowed with purple energy and swung down towards Bai Jie's head.

If time stops, Bai Jie will have no chance to fight back.

"Clang—!"

A spear emitting a ghostly blue light suddenly pierced out from behind Bai Jie, directly piercing Swartz's shoulder. Only then did Swartz notice that a huge, semi-transparent, dark blue cross had appeared behind Bai Jie at some unknown time.

—The Oath of Judah, a pseudo-judah armed force!

"Sorry, I knew you were up to no good the moment I heard your voice, so I prepared in advance. After all, I've been through quite a few similar things." Bai Jie chuckled, holding Judah's thirteenth spear. "You just mentioned a very subtle phrase, 'the worst possible future'? Are you perhaps from the future?"

"Heh, as expected of Japan's strongest brain. Among all the knights in history, you must be the most difficult to deal with. This time, I suffered from my lack of preparation."

"You still want to make a comeback? Too bad I'm the kind of person who likes to nip things in the bud. Stay here—"

Just as Bai Jie was about to use the Oath of Judah to bind Swartz, the space in front of him suddenly distorted, and a Kamen Rider wielding a white spear suddenly appeared in front of Bai Jie, unleashing a circular slash like a clockwork wheel!

Om-!

The oath of Judah shone brightly, and under its radiance, the circular slash vanished as quickly as melting ice and snow.

However, although the attack was ineffective, they bought some time, and Swartz and the Kamen Rider immediately disappeared into the space.

"Tch, they still managed to escape."

Bai Jie curled his lip in displeasure. This Time Jacker named Swartz was really elusive. Bai Jie hated people like this the most. They didn't have much combat power in their physical form, but their escape skills were top-notch.

"I'm just here to pick someone up, why do I feel like I've been dragged into trouble again? I might as well just leave after I've dealt with Emu Hojo's matter. Anyway, I've pretty much figured out Tsukasa Kadoya's dimensional wall principle."

"Beep beep!"

Just then, Bai Jie's phone suddenly rang.

It's definitely going to be troublesome again—that's what Bai Jie thought, but he still reluctantly took out his phone and answered: "Who is this?"

"Is this Shiro-senpai? This is Emu Hojo. Are you at Osaka International Airport right now?"

"Yeah, so what? By the way, how did you know I was here?"

"I asked the Ministry of Health to help pinpoint your location... But this isn't the time to talk about that! An enemy is heading your way!"

"Huh?" Bai Jie was dumbfounded. He had just driven off one Time Jacker, and now another one wanted to get beaten up? "Hey Yongmeng, isn't this your job? Why am I the one cleaning up your mess again?"

"I'm so sorry, this is our fault! But Taiga's cartridge was stolen. If possible, could you please help us get it back?"

The cartridge of the Heavenly Judgment was stolen?

Bai Jie felt he needed to have a serious talk with Hua Jia Da Wo; even his transformation item had been stolen...

"Speaking of which, Emu, didn't that enemy look like a cripple who could barely walk, practically like a zombie?"

Yes, could it be that—

"He's already inside the airport. Sorry, let's talk later. I'm off to help that good-for-nothing student get his revenge."

Bai Jie put down his phone and stared intently at the Kamen Rider who was slowly walking into the airport.

P.S.: Update

P.S.: Actually, I planned for the protagonist to appear when Emu and the others were defeated by Chronos, but... I needed to pad out the plot, otherwise this chapter would only be around 1900 words. I really went all out to reach 2000 words. By the way, I came up with the Zi-O plot on the spur of the moment while playing Honkai Impact 3.

P.S.: Last recommendation – "Before You Get Out of Earth". I don't know what others think, but I found it quite enjoyable and had a good viewing experience.

Section 70, Part 8: Hands That Should Be Clenched (Part 1)

Inside the bustling airport, Bai Jie and the black-clad knight stared at each other from a distance of more than ten meters. A silent atmosphere gradually enveloped their surroundings, and before they knew it, there was no one left around them.

"Are you the knight who stole Taiga's cassette tape? A black knight, that's quite rare." Bai Jie was the first to speak, breaking the silence.

"Since you put it that way, then this cartridge is indeed your invention, Dr. Bai Jie." The black knight raised his right hand, and hanging on his hand was the Heavenly Fire Judgment cartridge that Bai Jie had given to Taiga Hana. "Being able to develop such a bug-level cartridge, it seems you also have outstanding talent."
