On how PhDs become human evil

"But thankfully, it's finally all done. I feel like I can't even lift my shoulders anymore... I hope I get overtime pay this time."

"Well... I can give it to you this time. Is five thousand Lungmen Dollars enough?"

A cold voice sounded at the door. Bai Jie and Lin Guang looked up and saw Kal'tsit walking in with her hands in her pockets.

Kal'tsit sat down at her desk and reviewed the official documents Bai Jie had handled. A rare look of satisfaction appeared on her face: "It's amazing that you can handle so much work in one day. This is three days' worth."

"It really is a three-day supply! Are you and that donkey demons?! Do you really want me to lose both my hands?!"

Faced with Bai Jie's rage and roar, Kal'tsit just glanced at him indifferently: "It's okay if he's crippled, we can just put on a new prosthetic limb. Rhodes Island has the technical capability for that."

As Kal'tsit stated, Rhodes Island's current technological capabilities are absolutely top-tier. With Rhine Lab's scientists Himeru, Shining, and Saria, Kazdel's Shining and Nightingale, plus Rhodes Island's own Kal'tsit and Warfarin... as long as they don't die instantly, even if they're chopped into a human stump, they can be revived, although their final mechanization level will be over 60%...

Therefore, losing both hands is really not a big deal for Rhodes Island.

With a helpless sigh, Bai Jie packed his things: "Are you all done today? I'm going back to the dorm now, I'm exhausted."

Watching Bai Jie's departing figure, Nearl approached Kal'tsit and asked, "So, you still haven't given him the thing?"

“…I can’t hand it over.” Kal’tsit sighed and took out a chocolate bar with an egg yolk from her pocket.

Seeing this, Lin Guang was speechless. He rubbed his forehead and sighed, "As a reward for his hard work all day, this is what you brought?"

"He's had a long day, so he needs to recover properly. Egg yolk chocolate can restore a lot of energy, so it's perfect for him."

Feeling tired and needing to replenish energy—this certainly aligns with the mindset of researchers, but now is the time to rest! While a chocolate bar with egg yolk might be nice if you're feeling tired halfway through research, in the current situation, giving it to someone just means one thing: keep working overtime!

"Luckily you didn't give it away, otherwise you two would have started arguing again."

"No way, I remember he really liked eating this."

"That depends on the occasion..."

Nearl had truly given up hope on Kal'tsit's emotional intelligence; she didn't want to understand the thought process of a rationalist.

————————————————————

Dragging his exhausted body back to his dormitory, Bai Jie threw his briefcase on the desk and collapsed face down onto the bed.

"Ughhhhhh~~~ This soft touch, I really don't want to move at all....Eh?"

Just as Bai Jie was fully focused on feeling the softness of the bed as he lay down, his blanket suddenly trembled, and then a very irregular bulge appeared.

(Could it be that...)

A possibility popped into Bai Jie's mind. He uncertainly reached out and grabbed a corner of the blanket, then forcefully pulled it off!

On the bed, a Lappland was lying.

For a moment, the two stared at each other, and a deathly silence filled the dormitory.

"Haha...Did I get caught? Eh? -- Pfft!"

"Hey, you big dummy! Why are you lying in my bed?!" Bai Jie was so angry that he grabbed a pillow and threw it at Lappland's face.

With her face covered in pillows, Lappland shifted from lying down to sitting up, crossing her legs and grinning as she said, "I saw you working in your office, Doctor, on my way back to the dormitory from the trading post. I felt bad for always troubling you, so I came to warm your bed!"

“Lappland…” Looking at the silly grinning Lappland sitting on his bed, Bai Jie shrugged with a smile. “Nosy guy, I’m not so tired that I need you to take care of me. Go back to your own dorm.”

"I'm sorry, Doctor, Lappland hasn't returned to the dorm yet, did you know that—"

Bai Jie had just finished speaking when Texas's voice came from the doorway. Bai Jie and Lappland both looked towards the door, where Exusiai and Texas were standing.

Texas's gaze passed over Bai Jie and landed on Lappland. A cross-shaped crease appeared on her forehead. She stormed into the dormitory, grabbed Lappland's clothes, and dragged her out.

"Um, sorry to bother you, Doctor. Get some rest. You must be tired after handling so much today. We'll talk to Lappland about it." Exusiai said as she followed Texas, closing the door behind her.

"Ha...these three people have such a good relationship."

Bai Jie took off his coat and put it on the hanger. He sat on the bed and felt a warm sensation instead of a cold touch. He guessed that Lappland must have been lying on his bed before he came back.

Bai Jie casually snapped a photo of the bed, noticing a few strands of silvery-gray hair floating in the air. He sighed silently, took out his phone, and sent a message to Hong, asking her to help Lappland with her hair removal tomorrow.

"Lappland is always causing me trouble, like a little kid. Although she's better than Ifrit."

"Ring ring ring!"

The phone rang suddenly. Bai Jie paused for a moment, looking at the name displayed, then pressed the answer button: "Chen?"

"Bai Jie, you're still awake?" A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I just finished work today. Amiya gave me a lot of things to do, and I only got back to the dorm a few minutes ago." Sitting down with his back against the headboard, Bai Jie asked, "What's wrong? Why did you call me all of a sudden? Is something the matter?"

"Ah... um... there is something. It's about Hoshiguma. She'll be visiting you in a few days as a representative of Lungmen. You should meet her there."

"Hoshiguma's coming here? I see. Anything else... Chen?"

After a period of silence, Chen's voice rang out again: "Bai Jie, I... no, it's nothing."

"What's wrong with you? You're acting strange today. Are you not feeling well? You should at least take care of yourself while I'm gone. If you're sick, you need to take your medicine on time, okay?"

"I know, why are you still so annoying?"

"I think you were the one bothering me back in Lungmen... Hello? Chen?" Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Bai Jie put down his phone with a dark expression. "This guy actually hung up on me... Hmm? A text message? From Chen?"

Bai Jie was stunned when he opened the text message from Chen Chuan.

The text message contained only a picture and a line of text. The picture was of a simple bowl of red soup noodles, and the text read: "I miss you. When are you coming back?"

"List......"

With a silent sigh, Bai Jie began to compose a reply: "I'll come back for the New Year. Also, I miss you."

Section 111, Chapter 14: Your Father Arrives and Goes Berserk

To be honest, the situation is not good right now.

In the center of the Uncharted River, after Caster transformed into the giant sea monster, Artoria, Diarmuid, and the King of Conquerors formed a three-person alliance to begin their slaying. Their specific strategy was as follows—

The key to Caster becoming the Sea Demon is his Noble Phantasm, an autonomous summoning mana furnace. The reason he can summon the Sea Demon and create this SAN-draining thing is all because of the spell inscribed on that book. So all we need to do is destroy that book. Coincidentally, Diarmuid's Demon Lance: Crimson Rose of Destruction has the effect of dispelling magic.

Therefore, Artoria and the King of Conquerors became the vanguard, clearing the way ahead, while Diarmuid followed behind, waiting for an opportunity. Once the surface of the giant sea monster enveloping Caster was broken, Diarmuid would throw his red spear to destroy the book.

It was a simple yet effective battle plan. Since Bai Jie had nothing to replenish, he went with them. As for why Xilin didn't participate in the battle, the reason was simple—she didn't want to fight.

Just like the golden Pikachu flying in the sky now, Sirin thought that fighting that giant sea monster would dirty his hands, so after throwing two lightning bolts at the beginning, he huddled in Bai Jie's hoodie eating potato chips and watching the show, occasionally throwing out a wind blade or two to smash the flying chunks of meat as a way of proving his presence.

Logically speaking, King Arthur, King Conqueror, and Radiant One, three heroes renowned in history and mythology, should be able to defeat any monster when they join forces. However, the sea monster in front of them is exactly the kind of monster they cannot defeat.

In fact, from the very beginning, this battle was designed to escalate into a hopeless situation.

Despite the relentless slashing of Artoria and the Conqueror King's swords against the sea monster's massive body, it showed no signs of injury.

Of course, this was not due to a lack of offensive power. The strongest holy sword and the thunderous iron hooves mercilessly tore the sea demon to pieces, and the attack frequency was so fast that it could be described as an infinite combo without any gaps!

However, the wound was instantly filled with new flesh.

As we all know, sea monsters with tentacles either possess the ability to regenerate rapidly, or if a small sea monster has this ability, it's fine; you can just kill it completely without leaving any trace.

However, this sea monster was far too large. It was like two people throwing stones into a pond. The damage caused by the combined attack of the two kings could not keep up with the speed of regeneration.

The combined attack of the Knight King and the Conqueror King could only barely slow down the sea monsters that were targeting the embankment.

"Hmm... how about I give it a try!"

Bai Jie, who had been standing silently in the safe zone, suddenly came to the shore. Sensing Bai Jie's presence, the sea monster immediately separated several tentacles and lashed out at Bai Jie's location.

Bai Jie's appearance was so sudden that Artoria, the King of Conquerors, and Diarmuid had no time to pay attention to what was happening with him. Just as Bai Jie was about to be touched by the sea monster's tentacles and subjected to bondage play—

"boom--------!"

The ground around them suddenly sank down, and the tentacles flying in mid-air exploded into countless pieces of flesh in an instant!

A deep blue light appeared in Bai Jie's palm, lifting the Star of Eden like the Heavenly King Li Jing. Bai Jie took a deep breath, and a scarlet light suddenly burst forth from his eyes!

(Kill them all!!!)

By casting a suggestive spell on himself, Bai Jie felt a surge of destructive desires. He immediately unleashed the full power of [Blessing of Calamity], and the Star of Eden in his hand glowed with an ominous dark red light. A heavy sense of oppression reached the hearts of everyone present!

Previously in the Kamen Rider world, Bai Jie discovered that the "Blessing of Calamity" not only greatly enhances his physical abilities to the point where he can control monsters with his own body, but also significantly increases his magic power, including but not limited to the total amount and intensity of his magic power.

If we were to make a comparison, Bai Jie is similar to Specter now, but Specter specializes in melee combat, while he specializes in ranged combat.

"Kuhahahahahahahahahaha!"

(Imagine Nobunaga's mesmerizing laughter here)

Like a madman finally freed from prison, Bai Jie burst into loud, arrogant laughter. His right hand, now wiping his hair with hair gel, instantly transformed his messy hair, which was no different from a bird's nest, into a perfect three-seven part. His evil aura burst forth as if a switch had been flipped.

Bai Jie, with his red eyes, had become a walking natural disaster. His pants were completely torn, and black ore was climbing up his legs like vines.

The Oripathy was getting worse, but Bai Jie couldn't care less about that now. He only had one thought in his mind—to dismantle this behemoth in front of him!

"Eden Star - Zero Rated Power!"

All the magic power within his body was focused on the Star of Eden, and a pseudo-black hole formed under ten thousand times the gravity appeared in Bai Jie's hand, and then—Bai Jie threw it out.

Yes, just like a pitcher in a baseball game, Bai Jie raised his right leg, which was covered in Originium, high, and threw it out with the force of dislocating his arm. The Star of Eden in his hand carried the speed of a pseudo-black hole, crossed space, and smashed into the body of the giant sea monster.

This scene is just like the old saying goes—"A single arrow pierces the clouds, and a thousand armies come to meet it."

Unfortunately, the arrow that Bai Jie threw out didn't summon a massive army, but a black hole!

"BOOM!!!"
