21st Century Necromancer

Chapter 951: Chapter 944: Yacht

Chen Yu’s arrangements for the Mingyue Society could be summed up rather simply: everything would remain as it was.

Though he himself would leave Japan after his Divine Enthronement, it did not mean severing all ties there. Even if he no longer held the Mingyue Society’s power in high regard, it was still a significant foundation. How could he just abandon it?

Taking a step back, when his daughter grows up, Little Yixi will still need to attend school. Whether she’s sent back to their home country or remains in Japan for her education, the presence of the Mingyue Society could ensure excellent care for her.

After all, worldly matters still require worldly solutions. This is no longer the mythological age, and Chen Yu had no intention of imitating the Greek Gods, appointing some scholar or hero to educate his child.

Chen Yu and Hiromi Jounouchi both agreed that ensuring Little Yixi received a complete modern education was essential.

After all, gaining a thorough understanding of the modern knowledge system was highly beneficial for a child’s growth.

It is well known that modern education is the result of generations of meticulous research, systematic organization, and consistent optimization. While many will criticize today’s education system for its myriad flaws and imperfections in the compilation of teaching materials,

these shortcomings apply when considering the system as a whole. Compared to hiring a private tutor for one-on-one instruction, the breadth of knowledge one can absorb in school is undoubtedly greater.

Moreover, there is another critical reason—this would allow Little Yixi to interact with more peers of her age. Even though Chen Yu and his wife were planning to send her to a private aristocratic school, Little Yixi would still meet other children, avoiding issues stemming from a lack of childhood companions.

With this in mind, Chen Yu reassured his three subordinates and gave Maeda Toshiie instructions to return to the Necromantic Space to oversee the army, effectively wrapping up matters concerning the Mingyue Society.

Reassured by Chen Yu’s directives, both Tsuchimikado Yoshiharu and Kyuuzai Ryousen felt at ease.

Although they had already established themselves as prominent figures among Japan’s Transcendents, they were fully aware that everything they had was given to them by Chen Yu. Even their souls belonged to him. If they ceased to be useful to Chen Yu, it would mean losing all sense of purpose and worth.

While they could theoretically maintain the Mingyue Society on their own, thanks to their current capabilities, a samurai without a master was nothing more than a stray dog.

What’s more, Chen Yu was about to undergo Divine Enthronement. If abandoned at such a critical time, wouldn’t they lose an unimaginably rare opportunity?

What human worldly power could possibly compare to the noble glory of serving a deity?

Even if they were no more than hounds under a deity’s command, it would far surpass the fleeting grandeur of human fame and power.

When Chen Yu explained his decision to retain the Mingyue Society as a means to support his daughter’s education, Tsuchimikado Yoshiharu and Kyuuzai Ryousen began strategizing. They resolved to infiltrate the education system thoroughly before their young mistress grew up, ensuring they could serve her needs to the fullest.

For an average person, such unwavering loyalty might leave room for hidden schemes, despite outward commitment. Yet, whether it was Tsuchimikado Yoshiharu or Kyuuzai Ryousen, their fealty to Chen Yu emanated from the very depths of their souls.

Furthermore, as their powers grew, their loyalty to Chen Yu only deepened, never waning.

Subordinates so capable and loyal were not easily discarded by Chen Yu. While it was true he no longer valued the Mingyue Society highly and could easily replicate such an organization with a wave of his hand, he fully intended to take these useful followers with him.

“Honorable Excellency the Demigod, the laboratory in the Maldives has now been fully constructed. Would you have time to inspect it? If there are any dissatisfactions, we can make adjustments accordingly.” The U.S. Ambassador to Japan respectfully handed over a document to Chen Yu with both hands, introducing the lab’s features: “This laboratory has been built to the highest standards in the world. All equipment represents the most advanced technology currently available on the market.

Leveraging the island’s mountainous features, the lab was carved into the mountain interior to minimize the footprint on the island’s surface. Additionally, we’ve rebuilt the island’s original vacation villas per your request and upgraded the airport on the island. Docks have also been newly constructed to accommodate your yacht.”

“However, some accompanying facilities are still under development. The entire construction project should be fully completed in a few months. Everything is expected to be ready by early next year.”

At the mention of Chen Yu’s yacht, even the U.S. Ambassador to Japan couldn’t help but show a hint of envy on his face.

After all, this was a yacht built from an aircraft carrier! Even though the Kiev-rank vessels were originally aviation cruisers and now counted as light aircraft carriers, they were still aircraft carriers! Consider the Indians, who currently treat their sole carrier—also a modified Kiev-rank ship—as a national treasure.

Yet Chen Yu had managed to have Russia and the United States collaborate to create such a carrier—or rather, a yacht—exclusively for him. It was evident this was a one-of-a-kind feat in the world.

While there are billionaires who could theoretically afford yachts of similar specifications, the ability to envision and commission one built from an aircraft carrier was entirely different. Aircraft carriers are national symbols of power; weaker nations don’t even possess the capability to build one, let alone sell one to a private individual.

It was only due to Chen Yu’s status as a Demigod, coupled with the financial and political clout of the pharmaceutical conglomerates in Russia and America, that such a project was even conceivable—a collaboration where Russia handled the construction while the United States financed the endeavor for Chen Yu’s singular yacht.

Hearing the U.S. envoy mention his yacht, Chen Yu’s interest was piqued. He curiously asked, “My yacht, is it finished yet?”

“The ship’s exterior has been completed, and work is underway on its internal structures. Based on the timeline, it should be ready early next year. Alongside it, your two retrofitted aircraft carriers in the United States will also be finished soon,” the U.S. Ambassador replied, having come prepared with all relevant updates before daring to meet this Demigod face-to-face.

Chen Yu nodded in acknowledgment after hearing the report. “If that’s the case, it may be worth taking a look. Are the vacation villas on the island ready for use?”

“Of course! If they aren’t up to standard, we will ensure you receive the finest accommodations and services, guaranteeing your complete comfort throughout your stay,” the U.S. Ambassador replied promptly. Inviting Chen Yu to inspect the island lab was his primary objective, and with Chen Yu’s agreement, he was visibly delighted.
