Chapter 132

Unless you're throwing money around like it's free 24/7, that won't work.

Even though some of the weapons used against the Wagakubo Planet are touted as being made of environmentally friendly materials, that's only a portion of them. Many weapons using environmentally friendly materials simply cannot achieve the effect of killing insects.

Anyone can see that the unrestrained use of excessive weapons will worsen the pollution of the Wagakubo Planet.

Qin Su didn't understand why the school had suddenly become so generous; he only knew that, based on what he knew so far, the school seemed to be feigning generosity.

Thinking about it this way, he really is a petty person, always habitually assuming malice towards others.

Qin Su: "..."

Never mind, it can't be changed.

They'll do it again next time.

Qin Su stopped worrying about the excess supplies and instead, based on the zoning map he had obtained from Alec, opened a new page on his Optical Brain and revised the plan according to the ranking of the two classes' students' strengths over the past period.

Qin Su remained silent, and everyone could only watch Qin Su expressionless profile while whispering amongst themselves, trying to guess what Qin Su was thinking.

"From Qin Su's perspective, he, like us, was watching the staff controlling the Transport machines to move supplies. Did he also think there was too much this time?"

"What kind of situation hasn't Qin Su seen? This little bit of stuff probably wouldn't catch his eye. He's probably thinking about something else, like... how to make sure we all get the full amount of 6.66 million each, just like the students in the last practical exercise?"

"Impossible."

Sophia interrupted Kataerla's rosy fantasy and explained to the crowd who were also looking at her with curiosity.

"Vagakupo a resource-poor and expensive place. Ninety percent of its economic income comes from the export of various aquatic products, and ten percent from tourism. If it weren't for the fishing ban, there would be a high probability that people would be illegally fishing every day. To prevent insects from multiplying too quickly and damaging the habitat of ordinary aquatic organisms, there are targeted Purge operations all year round. The number of aquatic insects is not that many. Even if our population decreases, we cannot get everyone to reach such a high exchange rate within seven days."

As Sophia finished speaking, He Muzhi's voice followed closely. "Not only that, we also need to follow the announcement released by Alec and avoid the harmless underwater creatures in Vagakupo that Qin Su told us to remember yesterday, which will make them more difficult to kill."

It is even less likely that they will be able to recreate the 'glory' they once had on the Micafokelai Planet.

"Oh... I see."

"As expected, not everyone is lucky enough to catch up."

Some of the students who were previously unfamiliar with the Wagakubo Planet showed expressions of disappointment.

Does this mean Vagakupo is full of fishermen?

[Got it. Although I've never been to Vagakupo, I'm guessing it must be a hotbed for 'air force' (doge)]

[What's with all the disappointment? Did you want to be with Qin Su just for the quick riches? Besides, Qin Su isn't really in command this time, is he?]

[Fisherman: Hello, how polite!]

Someone asked Sophia curiously, "What if they catch bugs by fishing or netting them? Do they eat them? Ever since the Maikafukelai incident, the Zerg have become a hot delicacy. Every planet has its own must-eat list. Does Vagakupo have one?"

Sophia shook her head. "Very few, because the local area relies on fishing, and fishing opportunities are precious. They hate insects and don't want to catch any during the rare and valuable fishing season."

"I heard that the Spaceship Hyperspace Jump tickets to and from Vagakupo are very expensive. Does this count as a paid vacation for us?"

"Hilarious! What does that mean when we go into the water to kill insects? Is it like we're doing paid work?"

"I don't care about part-time jobs right now; all I know is that I saw the career paths I could take after graduating from the Military Academy in the eyes of these staff members."

"You're dreaming. Let me tell you a secret: the work in our Transport team is highly replaceable. A large portion of these staff members weren't originally from our major; they were people related to us, arranged by school leaders and teachers."

"... Thank you. My heart is finally at ease. No wonder Brother Su didn't treat us like the Transport squad, but trained us like a combat squad, pushing us to the brink. It turns out he was thinking about our future, hoping we would have more options."

Amidst the chatter of everyone, the tedious tasks of moving supplies, final inspections, and reporting were completed. Then, at the command of their class monitors, the students of the Class of 25 and Class of 26 Class Monitor boarded the Spaceship one after another, awaiting the Hyperspace Jump.

Alec was still the nominal commander of Class 66) and Class 6). There were a total of 7 Spaceships, and the two classes could travel separately on different Spaceships. However, out of personal motives, Alec arranged for the two classes to travel on the same Spaceship.

Upon seeing the message received in the group, everyone's eyes involuntarily turned to Qin Su.

Upon seeing the announcements in the group chats of both classes, Qin Su immediately closed the schedule and, ignoring the students' stares, strode onto the Spaceship before Spaceship.

Once aboard the Spaceship, Qin Su sat down directly near the cabin exit, secretly relieved, showing no intention of heading to the cockpit.

Qin Su remembered clearly that he was not the actual commander, and the orders issued by the school would not be given to him, but to Alec. His current entry into the cockpit was not legitimate.

According to the information he learned from the comments while in the cockpit, the students in Class 6 would basically not sit in the seat he was currently in, but the students in Class 66 might not. He would have to fight for the seat and had no intention of expanding the stereotype of 'his territory' to more people.

Moreover, the entrance and exit are locations that are easy for people to see and remember, making it impossible for passersby to ignore their presence.

Unconsciously, this increased the impression that 'he has a very strong presence'.

Qin Su then recalled that in the cockpit, because it was his first time riding Spaceship, he had dutifully followed the rules and "welded" himself to his seat during the Hyperspace Jump to avoid embarrassment. This led to the rumors spreading and misleading his classmates. He stubbornly insisted on doing this and silently planned to "clarify the rumors" later, giving his classmates a "free Hyperspace Jump" environment.

It's a bit awkward to just sit there like this during the Hyperspace Jump period.

The visuals presented to the Viewers were also monotonous and boring.

Thinking it over, Qin Su took a small, sophisticated weapon, about the length of an adult's arm, from his Underwater Combat Suit with one hand. He lowered his eyes and slowly disassembled it, seemingly bored, but in reality, he was trying to avoid embarrassment while also providing some novelty for the Viewers both on and off screen.

Qin Su took the lead and walked towards the Spaceship. The students of Class 6 rushed to catch up with Qin Su a few steps away. In the brief moment of surprise, the students of Class 66 saw that Class 6 had taken the lead and jogged to board the Spaceship one after another.

The students in Class 6 were used to Qin Su staying in the cockpit from the start to the end of the Hyperspace Jump. Suddenly, they saw Qin Su sit down in the seat they had tacitly given up, a seat that was now empty. His slender fingers swept over the weapon, which was the same black and red color scheme as his Underwater Combat Suit. With a slight movement of his knuckles, the gun made a soft clicking sound as if it were being disassembled...

Everyone stood at the cabin door, somewhat stunned.

It wasn't until the students behind him nudged him that he snapped out of his daze and quickly grabbed a spot not far from where Qin Su was sitting.

Centered on the Qin Su, the number of people gradually increases in locations closer to Qin Su.

As everyone walked past Qin Su, even though they knew Qin Su couldn't possibly be looking at them, they silently kept a distance from where Qin Su was and passed by. After sitting down, they would occasionally steal glances at Qin Su, their faces showing a cautious expression. In private, they would frantically scroll through the group chat interface that didn't include Qin Su.

[Wow! I didn't know it could be disassembled into such small pieces? What other surprises does our Class Monitor have that we don't know about? No wonder he's an all-rounder, he can do everything!]

[Ahhh, Brother Su is sitting with us, and he's even playing with weapons! I'd call this a once-in-a-century hand-control perk from outside the cockpit!]

[Playing... teasing? Did your Chinese and PE teachers teach you that?]

[How can this possibly be spelled correctly?]

[No wonder he's so skilled with every weapon; he can even disassemble them! I even suspect that Boss Qin has a deep understanding of the structure of each weapon!]

But... isn't this a secret of the arms manufacturers?

[Tsk, what's a secret? Taking it apart and putting it back together, is that difficult for Qin Su? It's not difficult at all!]

[The truth is out, so the question is, why did the Class Monitor dismantle it in front of us?]

As we all know, our Class Monitor never does anything meaningless, so I'm going to make a bold guess: the Class Monitor did this for...

[He Muzhi is absolutely right]

[What's the point of being a commander? Later I'll be sitting in a cold, empty cockpit. How can that compare to the joy of little Karami Hyperspace Jump in with Qin Su?]

[In my lifetime, I've finally gotten to enjoy the perks of being a junior team member (hehe). So, shall we... learn and dismantle as we go?]

[Disassemble! I even suspect that the Class Monitor was looking at those weapons before because he thought there were so many weapons, and he couldn't possibly use them all, so he might as well use them to teach us how to disassemble and understand the structure of the weapons. Naturally, we had to immediately report our attitude to the Class Monitor.]

[It has to be you, Raymond. You're usually so carefree and unreliable, but once you start figuring out what Brother Qin is thinking, your IQ is always on point (thumbs up)]

Qin Su didn't join the group, but the sudden increase in bullet comments and rising favorability ratings, along with the occasional clicking sounds of Weapon Disassembly and upgraded that he caught in the corner of his eye, left him completely bewildered. He silently watched the bullet comments.

The comments section showed the private group chat, and many viewers expressed their agreement.

Qin Su was filled with questions once he saw it.

"???"

Is it possible that he didn't mean what they thought at all?

Once he was convinced by the Interstellar People, he became so ruthless and oblivious to his feelings when he tried to guess his thoughts, showing a kind of madness that disregarded his life or death.

This eerie feeling was like he had dug up a pile of soil to fill a hole, and when he turned around, he saw that while he was preparing to fill the hole, his classmates, without warning, all jumped into the hole he had dug.

With eyes fixed on him from all directions, Qin Su was in a daze, but he didn't forget to lower his head to hide the true emotions in his eyes, and he didn't dare to stop his slow and elegant disassembly.

When Alec entered the Spaceship, he immediately spotted Qin Su, who was sitting in the seat closest to the hatch and had a very strong presence.

Although everyone was wearing identical all-black Combat Suits with red stripes to increase underwater visibility, Qin Su didn't need to look for anyone; he easily stood out from the crowd and was impossible to ignore.

Alec: "..."

If Qin Su hadn't been sitting there and reminded him that he was the real commander this time, he would have almost forgotten about it.

He had made it clear that he would listen to Qin Su in everything, but Qin Su showed no intention of entering the cockpit, which made Alec feel an invisible pressure.

With Qin Su present, is he even allowed into the cockpit?

Regardless of whether he was a good match or not, Alec thought about how Qin Su strictly followed the Purge rules and always entered the cockpit in the Forum, so he could only bite the bullet and head towards the cockpit.

If he didn't do that, Qin Su might think he was breaking the rules, right?

Once inside the cockpit, Alec let out a breath. Thinking about the speculations on the Forum that Qin Su must also be sitting seriously in the cockpit, he immediately sat down obediently, took out a weapon, and began disassembling it while waiting for the school to issue the takeoff order.

The students from Class 6) and Class 66) not only dismantled the structure themselves, but also shared the news on the Forum.

Although the destinations and the Spaceships they were traveling to were different, the phenomenon of 'disassembling weapons and transmitting them from person to person' silently occurred in every cabin where people were seated.

Flight commands were issued quickly, and Spaceships took off from their original positions under the control of different Class Monitor. After flying to the designated air location, an automatic broadcast warning that Hyperspace Jump was imminent sounded inside the Spaceship.

In the past, the students of Class 6 would have already glued themselves to their seats before the broadcast started. This time, however, Qin Su did not stop disassembling the weapons until the broadcast ended. Instead, he lowered his eyes and continued to carefully turn over the cold weapon parts, while casually leaning back in his seat.

There was absolutely no intention to heed the broadcast's warnings and precautions regarding the Hyperspace Jump.

"...?"

'Are they out of touch?'

Or is Qin Su showing us through his actions that priorities matter? Is understanding weapon construction through disassembly and reassembly more important than rigidly adhering to rules?

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through everyone's minds, trying to guess Qin Su's intentions.

Regardless of their thoughts or surprises, Mu Qiang's mentality did not affect their habitual imitation of Qin Su. They no longer rigidly adhered to their seats as before, but instead allowed their bodies to sway during the Hyperspace Jump.

They soon discovered that the turbulence caused by the Hyperspace Jump not only did not affect Qin Su 'Qin Su physical form, but also did not affect his actions of disassembling the weapons.

Qin Su kept his brows slightly furrowed, seemingly oblivious to everything around him. He didn't even glance at the weapon parts magnetically attached to his armrest. He deftly picked up each part and assembled it with practiced ease.

"?"

"!"

The crowd went from being confused to suddenly understanding.

I understand. Qin Su is definitely demonstrating through his actions that if they want to be of use to him in the future, they not only need to understand weapons, but also need to be able to withstand turbulent and complex environments without being affected by them.

While sharing their understanding of Qin Su's actions in the group chat, the group members also began to carefully consider the weapons in their hands.

[Got it, preparations for an assassination. Security is indeed tight where important figures are seen.]

[Please explain]

[Disassemble them, send them in separately, and then reassemble them into weapons? That's incredibly stupid!]

[This further proves that Boss Su is indeed playing a long game.]

These people need to perform well; they might very well catch Qin Su's eye.

Running, shooting, disassembling weapons, standing, maintaining a seated posture... all the actions Qin Su could think of during the Hyperspace Jump turbulence, regardless of whether they would be used in the future, Qin Su, out of habitual precautions, practiced countless times when he was alone in the cockpit.

Now, they can demonstrate it naturally and skillfully.

Out of the corner of his eye, Qin Su saw that his classmates, because of his deliberate actions, had not, as before, clearly climbed out of the trap of 'being welded to their seats when taking Spaceship Hyperspace Jump ', and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Disassembling weapons... from any perspective, this is not harmful to students; on the contrary, it can help them better understand the weapons they use.

In the event of special circumstances in the future, such as situations where it is impossible to bring the entire weapon in and it needs to be disassembled and brought in separately, it might be useful to them.

These kinds of skills are taught in regular Military Academies that don't specifically target the Zerg, so there's no need for him to include them.

He gained another wave of goodwill and comments, and the students are ready to unlock new skills; it's a win-win situation for them.

After installing the last part, Qin Su put away the weapon, which was intact after being disassembled. Having achieved his goal, he temporarily lost sight of his objective. He appeared to be resting with his eyes closed, but in reality, he was listening intently to the murmurs of his classmates and the sounds of weapons being disassembled and reassembled.

"After Brother Su demonstrated it for us once, seeing that we understood his meaning very well, he didn't demonstrate it a second time. And it turns out we were right!" Raymond's deliberately lowered voice couldn't hide his excitement. "I'm truly a genius!"

"You're absolutely right this time, I won't argue with you."

"Damn it, can someone help me figure out why I have so many extra parts that I can't put back together?"

"Haha, you have more than me! I only had six extra that I didn't put back in. You're so bad!"

"Heh, look at He Muzhi, he only had one extra one that he didn't put back, and you still have the nerve to criticize me?"

"?"

He Muzhi felt embarrassed at being suddenly called out, as if he had been exposed, and instinctively looked at Qin Su with a guilty conscience.

Seeing that Qin Su's eyelids didn't even twitch, the breath he had been holding slowly dissipated, and he turned to look at Jeffrey, who had called him out.

Qin Su: "..."

Raymond played a crucial role in every pitfall his classmates fell into, whether good or bad.

--

Fourth Military Academy.

As the Spaceships disappeared from his sight, Aiseboer confidently raised his head. "The supplies this time are so plentiful, and there aren't any messy rules. Qin Su just blow them up like they're free. He won't have any complaints, will he?"

"How so?" Zhang Minglang chimed in at the opportune moment.

I don't know when it started, but Aiseboer liked to be with him no matter what he did, saying that he felt safe with him and wasn't afraid of being 'chopped' by Qin Su.

"Although given Qin Su's character, Qin Su wouldn't waste resources unnecessarily for the sake of the Vagakupo environment, having so much stuff makes us seem very generous. If Qin Su is in a good mood, he might not repeat what happened last time."

Zhang Minglang couldn't help but expose Aiseboer's high-sounding explanation. "But, I remember hearing some people say at the meeting that the Transport class... well, it's one Class 66) that was corrupted by Qin Su, and the other Transport classes followed suit. They stopped doing their proper 'jobs' and only developed into combat classes. This is not harmonious. Other schools will have opinions and will have to find a way to correct it. Isn't that why they deliberately gave so many supplies so that Alec would subconsciously arrange for his class to continue Transport?"

Aiseboer: "... Don't be so harsh, Teacher Zhang!"

He devised what he thought was a foolproof plan: no matter which planet the Purge took, everyone would be "rolling in money" with supplies to cover up their true purpose.

"Teacher Zhang, you wouldn't have tipped off Qin Su, would you?" Aiseboer looked at Zhang Minglang warily.

Zhang Minglang chuckled and said, "There's absolutely no need. Just wait and see."

As he left, Qin Su stared at the supplies for a while; he couldn't believe Qin Su couldn't guess.

Although he didn't know what Qin Su would do, he was certain that Qin Su would not disappoint anyone who came up with such a self-deceiving method.

Thinking about it, Zhang Minglang opened the Forum, wanting to see if there were any clues.

Aiseboer: "... Never mind, I've tried my best anyway. Whether it works or not, it's up to fate."

This time, Qin Su wasn't openly in command; he was subtly using supplies to guide Alec back on track. Perhaps that would work?

After finishing speaking, Aiseboer turned around and said, "Let's go, Teacher Zhang, come fly with me..."

"Wait," Zhang Minglang interrupted Aiseboer.

"Hmm?" Aiseboer stopped in his tracks, turning to look at Zhang Minglang.

Zhang Minglang zoomed in on his personal Optical Brain screen. "Take a look for yourself."

Aiseboer's doubts were answered after reading the posts on the Forum made by students from Class 6) and Class 66) shortly after the Spaceship took off.

"This... works too?" Aiseboer was dumbfounded, looking at the solution to the remaining weapons that he had never considered before.

"Not only that," Zhang Minglang gasped, "It's tantamount to launching a full-scale attack right up to your covert plans."

"Clearly, Qin Su is well aware of his influence. He didn't even Hyperspace Jump away from the Spaceship, but directly demonstrated his dissatisfaction with your shady intentions through concrete actions." Zhang Minglang didn't forget to subtly distance himself from their camp, "Now, the number of followers has expanded directly from Class 6) and Class 66) to other classes involved in this Purge mission. Qin Su understands what you want to do, and using what you've given him, he's further expanding the scope and leading them in the direction he desires."

"You and I both know that these skills are designed for humans, skills learned only to execute assassination plans. They have nothing to do with the Zerg. The Zerg don't have security checks; they don't need these roundabout methods to hide dangerous weapons."

Aiseboer: "... I like retro-style funerals, what about you, Teacher Zhang? If our styles match, how about we put together a party?"
