Why is this world always full of mutual harm?

Fang Zheng stood there, staring at the stone pillar in front of him.

Isn't peace what all intelligent life desires? We hope to communicate with each other and get along with each other, instead of fighting each other. What good is this for you, for me, and for all of us? I didn't mean to hurt you, but I was very disappointed that you hurt me.

Why is this world always full of mutual harm?

Is this a never-ending cycle?

Is it true that the only way we can prove that what we do is right is by hurting each other?

Why can't we sit down and talk calmly and exchange our views? Perhaps we can find a new way out. We are all the fruits of civilization. We should learn to communicate through communication instead of force, so...

"Can't you just change this damn exchange?!"

Looking at the exchange in front of him, Fang Zheng's eyes were dull.

Why did it turn out like this?

After completing the tasks, I opened the free mode and obtained the activity module of the Navy Code. Two happy things overlapped, and these two joys brought me more happiness. What I got should have been a dreamlike happiness, but why did it turn out like this?

What should I do...

Fang Zheng was completely speechless.

He had never expected that the system would retaliate against him in this way.

Didn't I just give you a discount and unlock a hidden module? Why do you treat me like this? Have you forgotten that I'm your real father?

Using Sea Mist Underwear as exchange material... Can I just say MMP?

How do you want your father to live his life from now on?

Would you just rush up to a sea fog ship and take off your pants when you see one?

No, Fang Zheng would never do that. If he really did that, it would mean that his reputation would be completely ruined. Even if other mental models were to dig it up, wouldn't it be his own reputation that would be damaged in the end?

So ask yourself this mental model to underwear?

Who to ask?

Unicorn, Rodney, and Iona are definitely out of the question. Just thinking about them makes Fang Zheng feel like a pervert, and his conscience hurts so much!

What about vampires? Although the little guy is naughty, it's not good to piss him off...

So what's left is... Kaohsiung?

But...how to say it?

Think carefully, Fang Zheng, you are no longer the rookie you were when you were reborn into this world. You have traveled through several worlds and controlled the world and the universe. You have become the master of the Zerg and a legendary strong man. How can you stand still here? That's right! I figured it out!

At this moment, a spark of wisdom suddenly flashed in Fang Zheng's eyes, just like the first lightning seen by humans in primitive times, and it seemed to be the first fire that ignited human civilization. That's right, it is human wisdom and strength that overcomes countless difficulties! And he has already grasped the key that is right in front of him!

Yes, that's it.

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng clenched his fists and a confident smile appeared on his face.

The system is just a system after all. It is a pipe dream to think that you can stop me with this level of power. Let me show you the power and wisdom of human beings!

Fang Zheng put away the Dimension Codex, then turned around and returned along the same path. Behind him, the towering white tower began to slowly collapse.

"… Sorry to have kept you waiting."

Returning to Musashi's side, Fang Zheng looked at the girl in front of him and greeted her, while Musashi looked at him quietly. After a moment, the girl spoke.

"I can feel that the constraints of the Naval Code have disappeared..."

“…”

Facing Musashi's words, Fang Zheng didn't know what to say for a moment. For him, this was just part of the mission. But for Musashi, the Navy Code that had existed since their birth might have some deeper meaning.

"Human."

At this moment, Musashi raised his head again, and his tightly closed eyes slowly opened, revealing the bright red pupils inside.

"I have a question and I hope you can give me an answer."

"What's the problem?"

"Who am I?"

“It’s up to you.”

Fang Zheng spread his hands.

"To me, you are the mental model of the Sea Mist Super Battleship Musashi, at least that's what I think. But how you think is unknown to me. Maybe you think you are just a puppet, or you think you are the beginning and the end of everything, but it's your freedom. You can think of yourself as a battleship, or as a human, or as an alien, or as a super life form, but it doesn't matter. What matters is that you know who you are, and that's enough."

Hearing this, Musashi frowned slightly, and then she asked the second question.

"Where does our sea fog come from?"

“…”

In response to Musashi's question, Fang Zheng was silent for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders.

"It's hard for me to answer this question. To be honest, I don't really care. It's like whether humans are alien experiments or evolved from apes. It doesn't matter to me. What's important is that we are here now, building our own civilization and home. It's enough to know who we are and what we are doing."

“…”

This time, Musashi also fell silent, and then she asked her last question.

"So... where should we go?"

"Although according to the standard settings, I should say that this is your choice, but..."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng looked towards Musashi.

"…This is not the reason why I came here, so let me say it again, Musashi. I don't know how you, the sea fog, were born, and I don't know whether you think you are a weapon, a life, or some unknown existence. But what I can be sure of is that if you join my fleet, I will take you to appreciate the scenery of different worlds, perhaps there will be wars, killings, but also peace and freedom. Your world will no longer be limited to this sea. We will go to the sky and the universe, and even other worlds, to embark on a new adventure. I don't know if this adventure will have an end, but I can guarantee that it will never make you feel bored."

"Explore... and conquer?"

"That's about it."

"I see."

Musashi nodded slightly, and the next moment, the space in front of Fang Zheng suddenly disappeared, and then he returned to his own sealed space again.

"So...what's your decision?"

“…We are weapons.”

Musashi lowered his head.

"Fighting in compliance with orders, this is the meaning of our existence... Is it okay even if it's this?"

"If they fight under orders, humans are the same, and not just humans. If you go to more worlds, you'll find that it's not just sea fog and humans that fight under orders."

Fang Zheng raised his head and looked towards the sky.

"I now have many companions and subordinates, some of whom are even younger than you. But under my command, they have already been on the battlefield and even fought against enemies as terrible as the sea fog."

"Why is that?"

"There is no single reason for fighting. Some may fight to protect their friends, some may fight for revenge, and some may just want to find a place to live. Some may even want to attract my attention... In short, no matter what their motives are, we are fighting for the same goal after all, and that is enough."

"So, even if we have different ideas and motives, as long as we have the same goal, we can fight side by side?"

"Of course."

Fang Zheng looked at the girl in front of him again.

"Like you, the Sea Mist. According to what you said, all of your Sea Mist warships act according to the orders of the Naval Code. So, can you guarantee that all the mental models have the same ideas as you when they are taking action?"

“…”

This time, Musashi opened his mouth but said nothing, while Fang Zheng smiled and spread out his hands.

"So you see, the gap between sea fog and humans, or any other race, is actually not as big as you think."

"I see."

Musashi was silent for a moment, then raised his head as if he had made up his mind.

"To me, humans are not trustworthy..."

"I suggest you keep this idea in mind. The behavior of an individual cannot represent the whole. On the contrary, if you think that all humans are trustworthy, then it will be a headache."

Having said that, Fang Zheng reached out and patted Musashi's hat.

"Look, I can say that if you come with me, I will take you back to my world, and then I will introduce some people to you. Of course, I will say that they are all good kids. But you still need to judge for yourself what the situation is. Moreover, even if they are all good kids, it does not mean that there are no people in that world who are hostile to me. Otherwise, I would not need your help. I do not require you to be kind to all humans. As long as you can accept some of them, that would be great."

"So... I've made my choice."

Feeling Fang Zheng's movement, Musashi hesitated for a moment, then she opened her eyes again.

"In compliance with the orders of the Navy Code, from today on, I... the Crimson Fleet's flagship, the super battleship Musashi, will fight alongside you."

Having said that, a faint smile appeared on Musashi's face, which had originally been expressionless.

"Please give me your guidance, father."
