After changing into that classic white captain’s uniform, Mo Wang headed straight for the Hyperion.
Of course, this Hyperion was not that massive battle cruiser—the “Star Fortress”—from StarCraft, nor was it the super-giant cosmic flagship from Legend of the Galactic Heroes.
The warship Mo Wang was on was a super-giant aircraft carrier (warship) specifically built by Schicksal, integrating all their technology to combat the Honkai.
Although it couldn’t compare to those two monstrosities designed for interstellar war, the Hyperion was undeniably a young man’s dream.
After all, looking at its sci-fi silhouette and those alluring large-caliber main guns, what man wouldn’t be mesmerized?
[Slacker King of the Hyperion]: Look here, family!
Just picked up a girl-hand-used warship.
Used for less than 9,000 hours, basically brand new.
[Teyvat Blondie]: For real?
Don’t get scammed.
How much?
Send me the details.
[Savior of Human Order]: This ship isn’t good enough.
Send it over, I’ll help you mod it.
[Video Store Owner]: This ship is subpar.
Tell you what, I’ll give you 500 bucks just to be friendly; send it over.
[Trash King of the Train]: This ship clearly consumes too much energy; it’s not eco-friendly at all.
Send it over and I’ll fix it for you.
[Slacker King of the Hyperion]: Get lost!
You guys’ maps are way too short!
Your calculations are practically written on your faces!
Besides, what do you even want a warship for?
[Video Store Owner]: Can’t I just use it to show off?
[Savior of Human Order]: Can’t I just look cool?
[Video Store Owner]: Can’t I take girls out for a cruise?
[Trash King of the Train]: Wait, since when did you have girls?
[Slacker King of the Hyperion]: Something’s wrong.
You’re very suspicious.
[Video Store Owner]: No, I mean taking my little sister out for a cruise.
[Slacker King of the Hyperion]: Still suspicious.
Come clean—have you been hiding a girl from us?
[Video Store Owner]: Beat it!
Would you not know if I had a girlfriend or not!
Also, stop trying to change the subject.
Hurry up and hand the ship over to the bros; don’t hog it!
[Slacker King of the Hyperion]: Wait a sec, I think I actually found it.
The Hyperion can actually be shared?
[Slacker King of the Hyperion]: Shared the Hyperion.
[Savior of Human Order]: ?
[Video Store Owner]: ??
[Trash King of the Train]: ??
[Teyvat Blondie]: So now the Hyperion is available for wholesale?
One Hyperion per person, really?
[Video Store Owner]: Holy crap, does this ship come with a built-in AI?
I feel like I can uninstall that electricity-stealing AI at my house.
[Slacker King of the Hyperion]: Stop messing around.
Even if it has Ai-chan, would you dare use her?
The stolen electricity alone could probably power several Fairies.
[Savior of Human Order]: I feel like there’s potential here.
I’ll just use the main guns to blast some Archons.
[Video Store Owner]: Speaking of which, if the Hyperion can be shared, can other things be shared too?
[Trash King of the Train]: Not sure.
After all, this thing can even share Stellarons.
It seems as long as it’s judged to be yours, it can be uploaded.
[Slacker King of the Hyperion]: Uh, can Paimon be shared?
Not for anything else, just…
I want a mascot.
[Video Store Owner]: You’re suspicious, but I think there’s potential.
[Teyvat Blondie]: You motherf***er, die!
(╬￣皿￣)＝○＃（￣＃）３￣）
At this moment, Mo Wang, who had already clicked “share,” scratched his head.
He felt that sharing the Hyperion this time was a bit off.
The thought of a Hyperion floating around Teyvat, New Eridu, and even within Singularities made the overall aesthetic feel a bit too surreal.
But what did that have to do with him?
Anyway, those were the problems of his other selves.
As long as it was funny, that was enough.
Mo Wang gave a mischievous chuckle, his expression becoming increasingly smug.
Looking at the Hyperion before him, he felt it looked even more handsome.
Oh!
Let’s check out these six 270mm Railguns first.
Family, with this kind of firepower, ordinary Honkai Zombies would be turned to ash the moment they were touched.
Then there are these ten Close-In Weapon Systems, plus the super-giant Electromagnetic Cannon serving as the main gun.
This thing can blow up Honkai Beasts over a hundred meters tall; it’s practically the strongest firepower weapon currently available.
This instantly cured his fear of insufficient firepower.
He had been to the Hyperion before during his classes.
But what was the situation back then?
He spent every day following teachers on various tours and study sessions; let alone operating it, he wasn’t even allowed to touch it.
Now, hey!
This most advanced warship of Schicksal was his!
Everything around him seemed so beautiful now.
Even this cabbage looked so refined and elegant…
Mo Wang: (ー′ー) Wait, a cabbage?
“Ai-chan?
Where did you pop up from?” Mo Wang frowned as he looked at Ai-chan, who had appeared before him with a flattering expression.
“The humble Ai-chan welcomes the new Captain to the Hyperion!” Upon hearing Mo Wang call her name, Ai-chan’s expression became even more sycophantic, looking exactly like a cat rubbing against its owner.
“Can you speak normally?
The way you’re talking is actually making me a bit scared.” Mo Wang felt goosebumps rising at Ai-chan’s words.
What was wrong with this Ai-chan?
She couldn’t have downloaded some “educational” version of a game from the internet and caught a virus again, right?
“Ehehe, well, I heard that Mo Wang has become Ai-chan’s new boss.
So I came specifically to hand over the work.” Ai-chan scratched her head sheepishly.
“You…
hand over the work?” Mo Wang blinked, wondering if the sun had risen from the west.
Mo Wang and Ai-chan were old acquaintances.
As they say, fellow slackers attract each other.
From the first time he boarded the Hyperion, these two individuals with overflowing “salted fish” energy had developed a gravitational pull.
However, if there were levels to the art of slacking, Mo Wang considered himself only at Level 8, far below Ai-chan’s Level 10.
For her to actually say she wanted to “hand over work”—this girl was definitely hiding something.
“Ahem!
Boss, we’ve delayed for quite a while now.
Let’s hurry up and get over there.” Ai-chan grabbed Mo Wang’s hand and led him along, saying, “If you want to tour the Hyperion, Ai-chan will take you next time, okay?”
The more Ai-chan said this, the more Mo Wang felt that this “loyal subject” was trying to plot against him!
Sure enough, Ai-chan led him straight to the Captain’s office.
The moment the door opened, a mountain of documents collapsed toward them like a tsunami.
“Holy crap!
What is all this?” Mo Wang barely managed to crawl out from the sea of paperwork, pointing at the pile with a trembling finger as if he had seen something terrifying.
“Ehehe, these are all the documents Himeko accumulated during her recent vacation,” Ai-chan said bashfully.
“This many?
All of them?” Mo Wang looked at the documents that nearly filled the room, looking like he wanted to eat Ai-chan alive.
Mo Wang picked up a random document and found it was a recent electricity bill for the Hyperion.
Wait, how did a 500,000-credit electricity bill happen?
Even for the Hyperion, this was a bit too exaggerated!
“Well, Himeko hasn’t been here for a while.
We finally waited for you to arrive,” Ai-chan said with a look of relief.
“By the way, the deadlines for some of these documents seem to be tomorrow.”
“That’s all, Boss!
Ai-chan is leaving now~ I’ll leave this to you!” With that, Ai-chan prepared to make a run for it.
However, Ai-chan clearly hadn’t expected Mo Wang’s hand speed to be faster than she imagined.
With one swift grab, Mo Wang caught her, lifting her up like a little chick.
Joke’s on you!
If he let Ai-chan escape, he’d be working here until he died and still wouldn’t finish!
He finally understood—the reason they wanted him to be Captain was simply to find someone to process the paperwork!
“Ai-chan, can you explain these electricity bills?
And why are there dozens of games listed under ‘miscellaneous purchases’?” Mo Wang said to Ai-chan with a “gentle” smile.
“This…
well, maybe some Valkyrie applied for them herself?” Ai-chan turned her head away, while internally she was screaming that she was doomed.
She had almost forgotten that Mo Wang knew exactly where her secret base was.
“Hehehe, dear Ai-chan, you wouldn’t want Theresa and Himeko to find out that you used Hyperion’s public funds to buy games, figures, and various snacks, not to mention stealing electricity to play AAA games, would you?” Mo Wang gave Ai-chan a lewd, knowing grin.
“W-what do you want to do!
I’m warning you!
Don’t do anything reckless!” Ai-chan hurriedly hugged her meager chest, looking at Mo Wang as if he were a pervert.
As the self-proclaimed number one idol of Honkai, Ai-chan believed her beauty was top-tier.
Looking at Mo Wang, she wondered if, now that he had caught her, he intended to let his animal instincts take over and do “this and that” to her!
With her rich imagination, Ai-chan’s mind was suddenly filled with all sorts of heart-pounding scenarios.
Looking closely, Mo Wang’s looks weren’t bad; he was actually quite handsome.
If he wanted to do those things to her, should she agree?
However, just as Ai-chan began to blush, Mo Wang dumped the pile of documents directly into her arms.
“Good.
Since that’s the case, I’ll leave these for you to handle.
Once you’re done, remember to call me to stamp them.
I’ll be going now—sayonara!”
Before Ai-chan could react, Mo Wang had already vanished in a flash.
Ai-chan stared blankly at the documents in her hands, then at the spot where Mo Wang had disappeared, and instantly flew into a rage.
“You bastard Mo Wang!
Get back here!”
Hi everyone!
Thank you so much for following this story with me.
