On how PhDs become human evil

Before Kousaka Kyosuke could finish speaking, Bai Jie interrupted him with shining eyes: "Kousaka, you really are a genius! This time, I admit you're my most outstanding student! I might not attend the wedding, but I'll definitely prepare the dowry for you. Just wait at home!"

Without giving Kyosaka a chance to reply, Bai Jie hung up the phone and let out a long sigh of relief: "I think I've found a solution, Cecilia."

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

In the Far East branch of another world, watching Bai Jie and Cecilia in another world through a large screen, Chen took off his headphones, put his hands on the table, and fell into deep thought.

Behind Chen, Rita asked with concern, "Lord Chen, what do you think Lord Bai Jie will do?"

"How could I possibly know? I don't want to know what's going on in the mind of that kind of vulgar person who doesn't even spare his own foster mother. I might as well let him starve to death outside."

Hearing Chen's words, Rita couldn't help but laugh.

Chen's words were undoubtedly spoken in anger. After all, no woman would willingly hand over her lover to another. However, the situation of Bai Jie, Cecilia, and Chen was truly exceptional. If it were any other vixen, Chen would have already used the Fafnir to time-travel and confront her.

"Lord Chen, if Lord Bai Jie really..."

"Who do you think that idiot is? He's 100% incapable of doing anything to betray me, but he's also 100% incapable of doing anything to betray Cecilia," Chen said, looking at Bai Jie on the screen. "He'll do everything in his power to find a path to a happy ending for everyone. After all, he's a perfectionist with godlike abilities."

"Rita, have Rabbit, Kiana, Talulah, and Frostnova get ready, just in case we call Fu Hua along again."

"Lord Chen? Why have you summoned so many people? Do you intend to..."

“I’m not the kind of person who can turn a blind eye to my husband’s infidelity.”

P.S.: Update

P.S.: I've thought about it a lot, but I feel that no matter how I write it, it won't be satisfactory. And if I don't write it well, I'll get scolded again. So I'll leave the decision to you readers. Just like the title says, as the saying goes—everyone in the comment section and the book review section is a genius (skillfully shifting the blame).

P.S.: Domestic violence preparedness

Section 74, Chapter 12. Author: Skadi is such a spendthrift woman.

The morning after Cecilia returned, something extremely strange happened at Narumi's office.

On the sofa, Shotaro, who was eating breakfast, saw Bai Jie coming down from the second floor and immediately dropped the half-eaten bread in his hand onto the plate.

Shotaro glanced at the clock beside him, rubbed his eyes, and after confirming it was only nine in the morning, exclaimed, "Did the sun rise in the west today? Professor, you actually got up before eleven! Today is Sunday!"

"It's so annoying. I'd love to sleep in if I could, but I'm going out with Cecilia today." Bai Jie said, grabbing his messy, bird's nest-like hair. "By the way, Shotaro, can you lend me some clothes? The clothes in my closet are all too small."

"Pfft!" Shotaro couldn't help but spit it out. "Hahaha, Professor, I told you to prepare more clothes, now you've suffered the consequences."

"All a researcher needs is a white lab coat. Have you ever seen a researcher who isn't single?"

"You."

Shotaro's words left Bai Jie speechless, because what he said was indeed true.

However, the next moment, Bai Jie realized that something was wrong.

(I don't remember ever talking to Shotaro about the past. I've always been single in this world. If I had to say, I only found someone last night.)

"Shotaro, you little rascal! You were spying again last night, weren't you!" Bai Jie rushed up and choked Shotaro. "I was wondering why you and Philip ran off so fast last night. You must have been spying outside again! Do you believe I'll call Terui Ryu to arrest you?"

"Ugh... I'm going to die... I was wrong, Doctor!" Shotaro struggled to break free from Bai Jie's grasp. "I was just concerned about your love life, my dear friend. You've always been unmoved by the advances of so many female students. Of course I'm worried about you being single for so long."

Rolling his eyes at him, Bai Jie said irritably, "Who would have feelings for a little girl who hasn't even grown up yet? A student's duty is to study. What's the point of thinking about love all day long? Besides, you should be thinking about yourself instead of me. You're not single at all, and I'm definitely not single."

噗哧——！

Shotaro felt as if he had been shot in the chest.

"Haha, you're right. I'm over thirty and I don't even have a girlfriend." Shotaro felt inexplicably sad.

(ps: Baidu Baike shows that Shotaro was 24 years old during the W period, and the Ex-Aid period is eight years later, so Shotaro is actually 32 years old.)

"How about this, Shotaro? I'll develop a gender-changing device to turn Philip into a beautiful girl. You can just spend your whole life with Philip. After all, you're best buddies."

"How did you come up with such a terrible idea?"

"Don't you want to see it? Philip looks like a beautiful girl. I have a feeling that Philip would look great in women's clothes."

Upon hearing Bai Jie's words, Shotaro rested his chin on his hand and thought about it seriously for a moment, and actually felt that what Bai Jie said made some sense.

"What? What are you talking about?"

Just then, the controversial figure Philip suddenly stepped in, habitually placing both hands on Shotaro's shoulders.

Normally, Shotaro wouldn't react much; after all, they're good brothers. But after what Bai Jie said, Shotaro now actually finds Philip kind of cute...

(No, no, no! Calm down, Shotaro! That's hell ahead!)

“Oh, right, Philip, can I borrow your Earth Library for a bit?” Bai Jie suddenly said. “I’m going out with Cecilia later, could you help me decide what to wear?”

"My Earth Library isn't a fashion magazine!"

"Do you think I don't know you used the Earth Library to search for recipes?"

Philip's special ability is the Earth Library, which contains records of everything on Earth and can be considered a true encyclopedia. However, Philip often uses it to do some wasteful things, such as searching for recipes.

So it's not wrong to use it as a fashion magazine now, right?

With a helpless sigh, Philip closed his eyes and let his consciousness enter the Earth Library. He opened his eyes again in just one second.

"Doctor, according to the search results, a white coat is the most suitable for you."

"What?!"

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

On the street, Bai Jie and Cecilia walked side by side.

With his hands in the pockets of his white coat, Bai Jie sighed, "The white coat is actually the most suitable clothing for me. Is this image of mine really that deeply ingrained in people's minds?"

"Isn't that right? When you worked at the Destiny Headquarters and the Far East Branch, didn't you always wear a white coat? To be honest, I also think this outfit suits you best."

“Cecilia, if that’s what you’re saying… then so be it.” Bai Jie sighed helplessly. “Where shall we go? You said you wanted to go for a walk, so I’ll listen to you.”

Cecilia touched her lips with her finger, looked up at the sky and thought for a while before saying, "Let's go see where you work. It's called Fengzhiqi Academy, isn't it? It's a pity it's a holiday today, otherwise I would really like to see what you're like as a teacher."

"Spare me, being a teacher is exhausting, and those students are all like rotten wood." Bai Jie's face turned ashen as if he had eaten a bitter melon when he mentioned his experience as a teacher.

Fengzhiqi Academy is not far from Narumi's office, only a twenty-minute walk away. Before long, Bai Jie saw the familiar school gate.

To Bai Jie's surprise, the gates of Fengzhiqi Academy were not closed, but open.

"Oh, isn't this Professor? What brings you to the school on the weekend? And this lady... is she Professor's wife?" the gatekeeper greeted with a smile.

"Well... sort of. She just got back from Europe, so I brought her to see the school." Under Cecilia's gaze, Bai Jie vaguely acknowledged their relationship. "Speaking of which, why is the school gate open? Is anyone inside?"

"Two students said they forgot their homework, and they seemed to be in a hurry, so I let them in. Teacher, do you want to come in too?"

"I originally brought her to see my school. You've worked hard."

After saying that, Bai Jie led Cecilia into the gate of Fengzhiqi Academy.

P.S.: Update

P.S.: Skadi is such a spendthrift! I lost 100,000 LMD just for her Elite 2 materials, and then it costs another 100,000 to promote her. She's really burning through money! None of these six-star characters are frugal. A friend of mine has been driven crazy by the Elite 2 materials for Ifrit.

Section 75, Question 13: Why is there still no "Yifang Daye" (方大爷) opening theme on NetEase Cloud Music?

On holidays, like other schools, Fengzhiqi Academy is completely silent except for the sound of the wind and the rustling of trees. The morning sunlight shines on the academy, as if the entire academy is immersed in a realm of light.

Logically speaking, the school scenery in the early morning is quite nice, making it a good place to visit. However, because he had seen it so many times, Bai Jie couldn't muster any interest in it at all.

However, unlike Bai Jie, Cecilia was entering Feng Zhiqi Academy for the first time and was quite interested in the environment, even though Bai Jie couldn't understand what was so interesting about the scenery.

“Bai Jie, where do you work?” Cecilia asked.

"Your office is on the third floor of the teaching building, about forty meters ahead of you. Go up the stairs on the left, turn left, and the first door on the left is it," Bai Jie said, pinpointing the exact location of his office.

After all, Bai Jie has been working here for several years. As a scientist, it is naturally necessary for Bai Jie to measure various data in order to calculate the shortest route forward.

After all, physical strength is a major weakness for someone like Bai Jie, so he basically conserves it whenever possible.

Cecilia, who knew Bai Jie's personality well, was aware of this and said helplessly, "Can't you exercise a bit? Even just buying a treadmill and running every day would be fine."

"Scientists need hair and liver, not physical strength. If conditions allowed, I would like to quantize myself and become the ultimate life form that does not need rest."

"You dare!" Cecilia suddenly reached out and grabbed Bai Jie's waist. "Quantization? Haven't you considered our feelings? Do you want the Shaniat family line to end?"

"So I'm saying I haven't quantized."

—Besides, the Schariac family still has Kiana, so they haven't reached the point of extinction.

Bai Jie would never say such a thing, because if he did, Cecilia would immediately switch from being his lover to being his mother and give him a good lecture.

From childhood, Bai Jie's biggest fear and dislike was being lectured, because it would waste a lot of his time and prevent him from doing research, a common problem for most researchers.

Therefore, the prevalence of singleness among researchers is not without reason.

————————————————————————

In a classroom on the third floor of the Toyosaki Academy's teaching building, Eriri was sitting on her desk, panting heavily.

"Haa...haa...I guess I've shaken off that monster. Hey, Kasumigaoka Utaha, are you alright?"

At the desk next to Eriri, Kasumigaoka Utaha was panting heavily, large beads of sweat constantly sliding down her forehead, clearly showing how exhausted she was.

"To encounter something like this first thing in the morning, it seems like today is our unlucky day."

"I'm the unlucky one. This is the second time I've encountered that kind of monster in the past two months." Including the time on her way to school two months ago, Eriri has been chased by bugsters twice. There's a limit to how unlucky you can be.

"So, why is that monster chasing us? Does it read my novel too?"

"Don't be so narcissistic, woman. If that's true, then I'll say that monster was looking at my sketchbook."

While bickering with Kasumigaoka Utaha, Eriri couldn't help but ponder the reason. The bugster couldn't have attacked them for no reason; there must be some underlying cause, unless the monster was attacking indiscriminately.

"It couldn't have been a random attack; that monster has been chasing us for almost an hour."

"In any case, what we need to do now is to avoid the monsters while searching for Teacher Bai Jie."

"That professor?" Kasumigaoka Utaha looked puzzled. "Why would we need to see him? Shouldn't we go to the police first in this kind of situation?"
