"Finally...it's over..."
Jiang Mu looked at the medal in his hand and murmured.
"Cough cough..."
With the power granted to him by that deity, Jiang Mu successfully developed a solvent to forcibly suppress Honkai energy...
“Bishop Otto.” Jiang Mu knocked on the door of Otto’s office.
"Please come in."
The sounds of laughter and conversation inside the room suddenly stopped. When Jiang Mu pushed open the door and entered, he was slightly taken aback when he saw the group of people.
"Hey, our hero has arrived."
“Seeing Jiang Mu, Otto teased.”
"You must be joking..."
Jiang Mu declined.
"The true heroes are those Valkyries..."
"Do they really think we're fools...?"
The man wearing glasses chuckled.
"Those Valkyries couldn't possibly create these solutions..."
“These solutions only suppress His energy, but in the end, it is the Valkyries’ abilities that take effect,” Jiang Mu said.
“Alright…” Otto waved his hand and said.
"You didn't come here today just to see us old men, did you? So, what's the matter?"
“Yes,” Walter nodded.
"We will definitely help if it is within our power."
“Actually…” Jiang Mu smiled slightly.
"It's not a big deal."
"that is……"
"I want to resign."
"Resign?" Otto frowned.
"What, are you dissatisfied with the treatment you've received from Heaven?"
"Of course not..."
Jiang Mu smiled.
"This time, thanks to the Valkyries of the Far East Branch, I also benefited a lot."
"I estimate I'll never be able to spend all the bonus I received in my lifetime."
"It's been so long, I'm getting a little tired too..."
"This way, I can go back and focus on my research."
"Sigh—" Seeing this, Otto glanced at Jiang Mu and did not try to persuade him to stay any longer.
"Since it's your decision, I have no choice but to respect it."
As Otto finished speaking, Jiang Mu felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders, and he felt much lighter...
After bowing again, Jiang Mu slowly turned around, pushed open the door, and left.
………………
“He… seems a bit off…” Kevin was the first to speak after Jiang Mu left.
“His movements…are very uncoordinated…” Walter said, “He seems…like someone who has just recovered from a serious illness…”
Do you think I can't see it?
Otto's voice, barely containing his anger, came through.
“Even if I were blind, my 500-plus years of life have not been in vain.”
"His injuries are already..."
"I once tried to analyze the composition of the reagent he proposed, but unfortunately, I ultimately failed..."
If Jiang Mu were here now, he would definitely burst out laughing. Because the main ingredient of this reagent...
It's ginger wood's own stem cells, and in considerable quantities...
In other words, for every dose of this reagent prepared, some of the ginger wood's bone marrow needs to be extracted...
It sounds creepy, but that's exactly what Jiang Mu did.
Why would he do something that others simply cannot understand?
Why, after enduring hurt time and time again, does he still foolishly remain in the captain's position, offering help to those who hurt him...?
Jiang Mu didn't know the answer to this question. However, every time he saw them returning from the battlefield exhausted or covered in wounds, he felt a pang of sadness and wanted to do something for them...
Even if...
It's like a punching bag for releasing stress...
But after using it for so long, the sandbag... is tired too...
………………
They returned to the Hyperion in a dedicated drone, but unfortunately, Fu Hua, Himeko, and Seele were out on a mission.
The remaining Valkyries stayed in the living room, enthusiastically unpacking the gifts their fans had sent them.
"Little dwarf, this is mine!"
"Bronya objected, this was clearly a game console sent to Bronya!"
"This... is Himeko-sensei's sake, she should keep it safe for her..."
"Lilia, Lilia, is this a fruit cake for us?"
"Rosalia, Rosalia, this is for everyone, you can't steal any..."
"I want bitter melon! Why doesn't anyone send me any bitter melon?"
………………
The scene was unusually lively, and Jiang Mu, standing alone to the side, seemed somewhat out of place...
"Cough cough..." Holding onto the last glimmer of hope, Jiang Mu cleared his throat.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have something to announce."
"Go ahead and say it..." Kiana said without looking up.
"..."
Mei glared at Jiang Mu, then lowered her head again.
"..."
Bronya looked up and, seeing that Seele wasn't beside Jiang Mu, breathed a sigh of relief before lowering her head again to continue unwrapping the gifts.
"Captain, Captain!" Rosalia raised her hand. "What is it?"
"Captain..." Lilia forced herself to stay awake and said, "Hurry up and tell me, and when you're done, please take Lilia back to sleep..."
"hehe……"
The captain glanced at the two little ones and said softly.
"It's okay, it'll be quick."
As he spoke, Jiang Mu perked up and said.
"I hereby announce that, effective today, I am resigning from my position as captain of the Hyperion. The position will be handed over to the former captain, Himeko Murata."
"Oh." Theresa waved her hand without even looking up.
"Congratulations..."
Seeing the four indifferent people and the two shocked little ones, Jiang Mu chuckled, walked over, and patted Lilia and Rosalia's heads with both hands.
"From now on, I won't be able to watch the Vodka Girls perform anymore. You guys mustn't give up on your efforts..."
“Captain…” Rosalia tugged at Jiang Mu’s sleeve, “Can you not leave? Rosalia will be good…”
"Cough cough..."
Just as Jiang Mu was about to offer a few words of comfort, he heard Bronya cough a few times. Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw Bronya staring intently at him, and behind her, the phantom of the Heavy Bunny slowly appeared...
"Then I'll go back and pack my things, I'll leave right away..."
With that, Jiang Mu dashed off towards the captain's cabin.
"You're smart enough to know what's good for you..." Bronya muttered under her breath, then lowered her head again, lost in the beauty of her gift...
"The captain is lying!"
Suddenly, Rosalia said with tears in her eyes.
“I’ve been inside the captain’s cabin before; it was empty, there was nothing there…”
"Lilia, do you think the captain hates us now...?"
"Don't worry, you silly Rosalia..." Lilia comforted her.
"The captain won't hate us..."
However, this consolation seemed somewhat superficial and powerless...
………………
"Ai-chan." Jiang Mu called out as he arrived on the bridge.
"What can I do for you, boss?"
A vibrant cabbage... no, I mean, artificial intelligence immediately appeared and answered.
"You saw the message sent by Heaven's Mandate, didn't you?"
"Mmm..." Ai-chan nodded vigorously, "Boss, are you really leaving? Ai-chan will miss you..."
Jiang Mu smiled but didn't say anything.
………………
After Jiang Mu left, everything seemed so normal...
Later, Bronya acquired a company called miHoYo...
Later, miHoYo released a game called Genshin Impact.
With nothing else to do, Jiang Mu applied and became a game streamer...
