Chapter 113
"These past few days we've been letting them play as Qin Su instructed, and no one has blamed us. Using them to test for poison will most likely be fine."
"What poison testing? That sounds so awful," Blumer said righteously. "It's completely out of character for our team. We were just being kind by feeding them because they were hungry! We're just good Samaritans."
Since Blumer had said so, the members of the Unit 2 immediately understood that their Commander agreed to follow the 1st Brigade's lead.
"... That's why I say you're the Commander." His words were more eloquent than his singing.
Blumer smiled, said nothing more, and joined the others in picking out the pieces of insect meat that looked appetizing and edible.
Their ability to learn and adapt is terrifyingly strong.
[Kindness, Feeding, Kind Person]
Learning everything will only harm you.
[Unit 2 of Prisoners: Are they out of their minds?!]
[Prisoner: Thank you, Father! Thank you so much!]
--
When the 1st Brigade returned to the Jump Point, it was not yet noon.
Just as everyone was casually waiting for midnight to arrive, the elevator downstairs suddenly opened with a snap.
"?"
It's not time yet? Oh no! The Prisoners, their minds filled with questions, collectively retreated, keeping a safe distance from the elevator.
In the past, this would have been a good opportunity for them to go for a drive, get some fresh air, and temporarily relieve their mind, body, and soul. Now, however, it has become a death sentence.
The surprise wasn't limited to the Prisoners below; it also extended to the students on the platform.
Before they could think further, they heard Qin Su's calm voice.
Qin Su: "Elevator access will be closed at 6 PM. It's your turn now."
"!"
After a brief moment of shock, the members of 1st Brigade composed themselves and tried to respond calmly.
"Good!"
"Receive."
"Don't worry, Commander!"
They are no longer the innocent and naive people they once were; they have plenty of experience dealing with Prisoners and the Zerg.
Qin Su gave a soft "hmm" and turned back to the Spaceship.
Each group had a clear division of labor, and given the large number of people, the number of insects they were required to carry didn't seem like much.
He couldn't unlock the access here with his current skill level, but the system could. He had the system set the number of Prisoners to be transported in batches to be equivalent to the number of insects assigned to each group.
Six hours is plenty of time.
After watching Qin Su's figure disappear from sight, sounds gradually rose from the quiet crowd.
"You guessed right, I was the prophet this time. Brother Su really does have the authority to transport Prisoners."
"Absolutely amazing! I could say that word countless times when it comes to the Commander!"
He Muzhi's gaze shifted downwards, a hint of pleasure flashing in his eyes.
'Now he no longer has to worry about his bad luck causing Prisoners to die, like before. There are plenty of Prisoners; surely Prisoner can't all be poisoned just because he took the first bite?'
[Mu, Mu, don't make promises you can't keep (facepalm and wry smile)]
[Sitting obediently waiting (doge emoji)]
The Prisoners must be crazy to come up here. He Muzhi has plenty of experience; he simply picked up the rocket launcher that fires Particle Bullet with one hand and left.
Seeing the situation above, the Prisoners, not wanting to be caught in the indiscriminate attack, swiftly pushed the ten Prisoners into the waiting elevator before He Muzhi could even take a few steps.
"..."
He Muzhi turned around smoothly, quickly put down his weapon, and looked at the members of his group. "My dear Group 1 members, get ready to meet them."
"Yes!" The members of Group 1 were barely suppressing their laughter at their group leader's smooth little combo of intimidating the Prisoners.
[It's too smooth; it's obvious that it was rehearsed in my mind.]
[A bit funny]
[Mu: I wouldn't dare kill someone, but threatening someone to dye their hair pink is something I'm a professional at!]
The other group members wore the same smiles as they skillfully returned to their assigned areas, waiting for the Prisoners to come to them.
The Prisoners. "..."
They wouldn't even spare a little time for their performance, and what's worse, their perfunctory act was so obvious, yet they still had to compromise.
Fortunate...
Wait a minute, didn't you just go up? Why are you coming down again???
The Prisoners ' relief was short-lived. They watched as a new batch of Prisoners was transported up, only to plummet to the ground in less than a second. When the elevator reopened, they couldn't believe their eyes.
Before the Prisoners could think, the little perverts above suddenly raised their weapons and pretended to blast the air vents on the side of the prison. Terrified, they quickly pushed a new batch of Prisoners inside without a second thought.
This time, He Muzhi didn't mention the threat of weapons. He was assigned one of the first batch of Prisoners, and under his threat of fire, the prisoner only managed to swallow a few mouthfuls before lying on the ground foaming at the mouth. He was a bit distraught and didn't have time to act as a threat for the time being.
The other group leaders were happy to see this happen, and they tacitly arranged a sequence so that each of them could experience what He Muzhi had just felt.
Seeing that his He Muzhi continued to 'retire to the second line' and only do the work of taking notes.
[Hilarious! We're all having so much fun! Each of the group leaders pulls off a smooth head turn, creating a unique scene. The Prisoners are crying and saying, "I really don't have time to mess with you bunch of perverted brats anymore!"]
Unnoticed by anyone, A-Mu quietly promoted the deputy group leader to replace himself as group leader. When others are down on their luck, even drinking cold water can cause them trouble; when A-Mu is down on his luck, even his rivals will be defeated.
[I have a great idea! Let's send He Muzhi to the enemy (doge emoji), let them suffer, and then bring him back.]
[Get lost! Our Mu Bao isn't unlucky at all. Look at Qin Su, he's perfectly fine, and the whole team wasn't affected at all.]
[Because the Boss 1 can keep it under control. Look, as soon as the Boss 1 left, He Muzhi emerged.]
Qin Su: "..."
Although he was reluctant to admit it, perhaps it was a case of 'two negatives make a positive'.
At the same time, the Prisoners at the Jump Point of the Unit 2, unaware of what they had done wrong, suddenly became test subjects for insect poison.
With the help of 1st Brigade hunting down large, dangerous insects, the remaining Purge work for the Unit 2 was easier than before.
However, due to the large area remaining, they were still unable to complete the Purge Zone assigned to them by the school in the remaining two days.
Before losing the Third Practical Exercise, almost everyone in the Unit 2 had already anticipated the outcome. Although they were disappointed by the result, they remained in a state of dejection for too long.
Rather than losing the battle they had anticipated, they were more focused on the Insect Meat they were carrying.
"So many, can we really sell them all?"
"Don't worry, my second aunt's third uncle's little niece and her second aunt's little cousin would never lie to me! Besides, because of Qin Su sharing Insect Meat with the Qin Family members, there's been a craze for Insect Meat reviews on the StarNet. Even if we don't sell to ordinary people, we can sell it all to those review bloggers."
"I'm not saying this to be mean, but your relationship is really distant. I counted on my fingers and still couldn't figure it out."
"Hehe, mine has already been reserved by Teacher Diao, so Teacher Jiang Luo will find someone to pick it up himself."
Whether it's the 1st Brigade or Unit 2, they total nearly 60,000 people. Apart from Qin Su, every member brought back some Insect Meat to some extent.
Having carried too much Insect Meat, the 1st Brigade, after obtaining Qin Su's permission, cleared out all the remaining weapons and ammunition to make room.
[True story: Review bloggers support bizarre and unusual gadgets]
[I advise you to delete this. This review blogger was subtly criticized, and I secretly let my guard down.]
Those who know them are there to carry out a Purge mission against the Zerg; those who don't might think they're there to hunt.
Even a mosquito's leg is still meat, no matter how small. Every classmate except him could either bring the Insect Meat as a gift to their family and relatives or sell it, but he couldn't.
To avoid drawing envy in front of everyone, Qin Su said a few words briefly and then entered the cockpit without looking back.
The Jump Channel was activated. No matter how excited the members of 1st Brigade were, they were all sitting properly in their seats when the Hyperspace Jump broadcast announcement sounded.
The familiar turbulence from the Spaceship did not dampen everyone's high spirits.
"Just thinking about returning to school, the moment we disembark from the Spaceship, and how our grades will be announced by the Class Advisor Class 6, and what kind of surprised expression will appear on our Class Advisor's face when they know our results in this practical exercise, makes my lips curl into a wild smile!"
Don't get your hopes up too high; our Class Advisor might not be happy for us.
"Hmm... right, but so what? As long as we get the real money, that's all that matters. Who cares if they're happy or not? It's not like I'm the one who's unhappy, so it doesn't matter to me~"
"Because of Qin Su, my literary skills have improved by leaps and bounds this time. I can't imagine how envious and jealous other people will be when they see my short essays."
"Speaking of which, the person we should thank the most is the Commander!"
"Grateful..."
In different Spaceships, the excited crowd kept talking, and in the end, it almost all turned into expressions of gratitude such as "thank you, Commander."
--
Fourth Military Academy.
Zhang Minglang was waiting at the Spaceship landing point early in the morning, with the Class Advisor of 118 classes beside him.
Qin Su and Blumer's Class Advisor was surrounded by other Class Advisor. The Unit 2 frequently shared their daily Purge and real-time kill results on the Forum.
On the contrary, the 1st Brigade, which possessed 'Qin Su', should have been high-profile, but this time they were so low-key that it made them extremely curious.
Not only them, but all the Insect Meat related to Qin Su has been thoroughly examined and polished by netizens on the StarNet.
Even after they pleaded until their lips were sore, Zhang Minglang insisted on waiting for the 1st Brigade's Spaceship to land before releasing the 1st Brigade's real-time kill data.
Fortunately, they are not the only ones eagerly waiting; countless senior students and teachers are also doing so.
The main objective was to find out Qin Su's kill count in this battle as soon as possible, while the secondary objective was to take the Insect Meat they had pre-ordered from the students.
The students were too shy to make money off their teachers, so they offered prices far below the current market price on the StarNet. Even if they didn't eat the insects themselves, given the insect craze Qin Su had sparked, they could easily make a profit by reselling them.
Originally Spaceship Jump Point far from the Fourth Military Academy's teaching area and some distance from the school, and sparsely populated except when there were missions, it is now overcrowded.
Although everyone spoke softly, the sheer number of people and their chatter made even the quietest voices noisy.
As everyone eagerly awaited, at six o'clock in the afternoon, an invisible giant wave appeared in the sky, shaking and dispersing the clouds. A familiar humming sound rang out, and countless Spaceships appeared out of thin air above.
"Arrive!"
Someone shouted, and the previously chattering crowd fell silent, with almost everyone's eyes fixed on the sky above where the Spaceship had suddenly appeared.
As the Spaceship landed, knowing that Qin Su would be on the main Spaceship of the Team 1, the largest Spaceship, everyone stared intently at the tightly closed hatch, holding their breath in anticipation.
Seeing the Spaceship land steadily, Zhang Minglang thought for a moment, worried that the Principal standing next to him would be so angry that he would faint on the spot if he learned the truth. Thinking that he was an old man, it would be bad if he were to get injured, so he silently moved a little further away.
Seeing that Zhang Minglang being tactless and not taking the seats next to the Principal, the others quickly filled the vacancies he had vacated.
Seeing a large crowd of people outside the Spaceship, Qin Su in the cockpit glanced around and easily spotted the Principal, who was surrounded by the crowd at the very front.
That is, the direction directly opposite the opening position of your own Spaceship's hatch.
Qin Su: "..."
That's good, saves him from having to find another way to show up in front of the Principal.
During the Spaceship's descent, Qin Su had already quickly determined the exit path. Less than a second after the spaceship came to a complete stop, Qin Su stepped out of the cockpit and appeared before his classmates on the same Spaceship.
Since Qin Su wasn't on the other Spaceships, the first thing everyone did after getting up was to check where they had placed the Insect Meat.
Qin Su walked straight ahead through the middle Passageway that the students had spontaneously cleared for him, and when he was still three steps away from the hatch, all the Spaceship in Brain Control 1st Brigade activated simultaneously.
Amidst the intense anticipation of the crowd, the metallic hexagonal hatch of the 1st Brigade of Spaceship burst open from the middle, simultaneously and swiftly closing neatly to both sides, revealing different scenes inside.
In the main Spaceship of the 1st Brigade, Qin Su casually carried his helmet in one hand, walking expressionlessly through the crowd watching him from behind.
Even seeing so many people below them, Qin Su remained unmoved. From their perspective, there was no emotional fluctuation on Qin Su's face. He calmly stepped down from the Spaceship and walked through the verification checkpoint with sharp eyes.
After the verification was completed, Qin Su kept a close eye on everyone around him, his eyes darting around him. He walked calmly to the waiting area, quietly waiting for the moment when the results of the 1st Brigade's combat performance would be announced.
From the verification checkpoint to the waiting area, and then from the waiting area to the area where non-staff and mission personnel are not allowed to enter, there was a fairly long distance. Qin Su walked at a leisurely pace, not in a hurry.
The Class Advisor is holding back, and the students of the 1st Brigade have voluntarily refrained from taking screenshots and posting them. Now, there are many people who are even more anxious than him.
From the moment Qin Su came into view, the surroundings seemed to go silent, and no one spoke.
Only after Qin Su stood still in front of the Principal did they have a chance to glance at the other Spaceships out of the corner of their eyes and discover that the people Spaceship were just like them, and even the people in the Unit 2 were wearing helmets and using their helmet goggles to look in Qin Su.
While waiting for Qin Su to arrive, someone secretly tugged at Zhang Minglang and whispered, "Qin Su has Spaceship. It's time to announce it, isn't it?"
Not seeing any hint of smug satisfaction on Qin Su's face, Zhang Minglang snapped out of his reverie and nodded, "Mm."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Minglang announced the results of the 1st Brigade's Third Practical Exercise.
Messages popped up on the Optical Brain of all the Class Advisor and school leaders.
Before Qin Su arrived, everyone saw that it was Zhang Minglang sharing his kill record from his Third Practical Exercise. Since they felt they could only be at ease after seeing it for themselves, they all clicked on it.
"What?!"
Less than a second after receiving and opening Zhang Minglang's message, the quiet room erupted in a surprisingly unified outcry of disbelief, the voices rising to shaky tremors from sheer shock.
'The entire 1st Brigade has reached the maximum amount of Star Coins per person!'
'Isn't targeting Qin Su's people a case of shooting themselves in the foot?'
'Revenge, it's definitely Qin Su's revenge!'
Countless eyes were fixed on Qin Su; some were filled with astonishment and uncertainty, while others covered their mouths in speechless disbelief...
Regardless of what they were thinking, this was something they had never imagined would happen.
Qin Su: "..."
It seems they saw it.
Qin Su walked straight towards the Principal, stopping just a step away from the Principal, whose eyes were bulging and staring intently at the Optical Brain's skin.
After exclaiming "What?", Aiseboer staggered and fell backward, just as Zhang Minglang had predicted, landing on the school leader who had filled in for him.
Seeing the school leader with a large belly catch the Principal, Zhang Minglang looked away and forcefully suppressed his laughter.
Aiseboer hated himself for browsing too fast; by the time he realized it, the terrible news had already seeped into his mind, giving him no chance to back down.
His mind was in a state of shock and confusion, and when he met Yas's double chin, Aiseboer heard Qin Su greet him casually.
Aiseboer's head was buzzing, he was in a real bind, and his mind was filled with:
'How could Qin Su greet me so calmly?'
Does he even know what he's done?!
'Is he crazy? What good will this do him?'
' Qin Su is... so confident and certain that the Federation can't find any trace of his family to threaten him... Fine, so far no one has been able to find any trace of Qin Family members.'
' Qin Su did this on purpose, didn't he!'
'It's just a limit on his credit limit, is it really necessary for someone so young to get so worked up?'
A jumble of thoughts.
Even though he was trembling with anger, Aiseboer didn't want to lose face in front of Qin Su and so many other people.
Quickly banishing the jumbled thoughts from his mind, Aiseboer averted his gaze from Yas's thick chin, straightened up abruptly, and met Qin Su's gaze. As Qin Su's body shifted, Qin Su's black eyes, which had been lowered to look directly at him, twitched, and the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing his signature social mask smile.
"This trip has been truly arduous, Qin Su!"
Aiseboer spoke each word through gritted teeth.
"It's not hard work."
Qin Su remained silent, secretly observing the gasps of shock and astonishment on the faces of those around him. Suppressing his pleasure, he feigned aloofness and spoke the truth, "It's all as it should be."
When people are doing bad things, they have inexhaustible energy, and he was no exception.
'For a top student to stand out, the rules set by the school must be followed, so the results they produce cannot be basic.'
He was satisfied with the Principal's and everyone's reactions.
'It's what they deserve?' Qin Su was probably thinking that everything they got was exactly what they deserved!
Aiseboer almost choked on his breath.
[Everyone:???]
[Of all people to offend, why did he have to offend Qin Su? Now he's really messed with someone. (covers mouth and chuckles)]
[It's suspected that Brother Su deliberately stopped to look down at the Principal lying in Yas's arms; a thorough investigation is recommended.]
[I love the way this Boss 1 is so serious yet wicked; he leaves you speechless and unsure how to respond.]
Having achieved his goal, Qin Su saw that the Principal was probably not in the mood to talk to him, so he didn't make things difficult for him. After greeting the Class Advisor Qin Su, Teacher Zhang, he nodded to the other teachers and school leaders and thoughtfully took his leave.
Aiseboer didn't really want to see Qin Su right now, but maintained a polite farewell to Qin Su.
The others had their eyes glued to Qin Su, their expressions a mixture of shock and discomfort at Qin Su presence.
Once Qin Su had walked away, a heated discussion erupted on the scene regarding the incredible results achieved by the 1st Brigade under Qin Su's control, and the entire 1st Brigade became the focus of everyone's attention.
Even the insect meat chunks that Qin Su had popularized are now being completely ignored.
The Unit 2 was stunned when they learned the truth.
Blumer: "..."
'His vision is too narrow. He trains everyone, uses them as tools for revenge, and yet manages to make them incredibly wealthy. Qin Su simply... amazing!'
What methods can I use to become Qin Su's tool for revenge? I need help urgently!
As soon as Qin Su left, Aiseboer, who was gripping Yas's arm tightly, couldn't help but fall backward, gasping for breath.
Seeing the anxious voices of the "Principal" all around Aiseboer, Zhang Minglang was glad he had been prescient.
A few seconds later, Aiseboer saw the video pop up on the Optical Brain and strained so hard his face contorted. "Help me up... help me up..."
Thirty seconds later, Aiseboer turned his back to everyone and started the video call.
"Why is it so noisy over there? Forget it, let's just get straight to the point. Are you sure Qin Su's performance in this practical battle is as shown in the screenshots before? Is there anything else fishy going on?"
Aiseboer: "..."
The trickery wasn't just big, it was already a vast 'sea'.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Aiseboer's silence drew dissatisfaction from countless people in the video.
Facing the group of people waiting for him to speak on the other end of the video call, Aiseboer thought about the outcome he had just witnessed and whispered, "Everyone, the situation is a bit complicated. To put it simply, it's one good news and one bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"
"?"
Upon hearing the word "complex," the group immediately became uneasy, and their voices grew increasingly imperious.
"What are you doing at a time like this?"
"Good news, right?"
"Speak quickly!"
Aiseboer lowered his voice even further. "Qin Su's Star Coins exchange amount is indeed as you all saw beforehand, without any abnormalities; it is indeed within the limit of 6.66 million Star Coins."
"Now that the good news is over, what's the bad news?"
Aiseboer's voice lowered, and his speech became several times faster than before. "The entire 1st Brigade has exchanged the maximum amount, which is 6.66 million Star Coins..."
