Chapter 137

Amidst the astonished and uncertain gazes of the crowd, Qin Su's body shot out like an arrow, his speed too fast for the naked eye to follow.

The students from Class 6) and (Class 66), who were at different distances, could only see the red Light Waves refracting in the water, leaving red streaks in the water in a short period of time.

Wherever it passed, the red light was accompanied by the sounds of different weapons firing, and the flashes of light from shooting or exploding made small areas of the dark water appear bright for a moment.

When everything fell silent, they saw Qin Su Hover in the water, his back to them, wearing Combat Suits and mechanical boots that shimmered with a faint blue light.

Behind Qin Su were the freshly made, fragmented limbs of various insects falling to the ground.

Below Qin Su was a huge, flat fish that had been gnawed to death by insects not long ago, its eyes rolled back, staring eerily at the falling, broken limbs of the insects above...

[The world of rampaging and slaughter has been achieved! The bugs are in charge of the rampaging and slaughter, while the Boss Su is in charge of the rampaging!]

[Qin Su (coldly): Watch carefully, I'll only demonstrate once.]

[So handsome it's blinding!]

[Sliced Fish: You wanted to eat me? Didn't expect that, did you? You got blown to bits, didn't you? You died a worse death than me. I have two-thirds of my body intact, while you don't, hahaha]

[You can tell from the dead fish's eyes that it has Boss 1 who avenged it in its lifetime.]

[Qin Su's speed has always been impressive. Now I understand why Qin Su deliberately scheduled his move for the third day. He was afraid that if he made his move, the entire area would be cleared out in less than a day, leaving no opportunity for others to practice or act.]

[Baby 1: You didn't expect that, did you? The rules are used to bind myself:)]

[Judging from the appearance, Class 66) has voluntarily joined the 'Qin Su Package'. Currently, the 'Qin Su Package' includes Class 6), Class 1), Class (2)...]

'With lightning speed, Qin Su transformed the previously last-ranked cleanup route into the first-ranked one in the blink of an eye.'

Realizing this fact, some students in the two classes slowly came to their senses, while others rubbed their eyes in disbelief.

"I originally thought that Qin Su's speed was already fast enough during training, but I didn't expect that his speed during training was nothing compared to now. Was Qin Su deliberately holding back his true strength back then to avoid undermining our confidence?"

"Absolutely, otherwise there's no way to explain why Qin Su's speed is different now compared to when he was training in the Deep-Water Zone the pool."

"I heard Qin Su can use Pheromones to instantly kill insects, but he just used a weapon. What does that mean? It means Qin Su is very likely demonstrating it to me so we can learn from him."

"I've pointed it out. Whoever can learn it will most likely gain Qin Su's favor."

As everyone spoke, their gazes involuntarily turned to He Muzhi, Sophia, and their group, who had remained silent since Qin Su's departure.

Although they were reluctant to admit it, there was a greater than 60% chance that Qin Su was teaching them.

Having successfully transformed his concave shape into a convex one in a short time, achieving the "eye-catching" status, Qin Su, now standing still, took the opportunity to put his weapon back on his right thigh while secretly moving and relaxing his stiff limbs, which had been tense from the previous tension, and eavesdropping on the discussions coming through the Full-Band Communication.

Judging from the increased favorability ratings among the indigenous people reported by the system, everyone was very satisfied with their performance.

Only...

Everyone's thought processes have been consistently working, and without a word, they've started speculating about his thoughts again, galloping headlong in the opposite direction of his true intentions, and nothing could pull them back.

His classmates would never guess that he was slower in the pool than here, simply because there was no oxygen supply or Underwater Combat Suit back then.

Having successfully secured his place in the center position through his own efforts, Qin Su didn't give everyone much time. Just as he fastened the weapon in his hand, he naturally turned to face his classmates.

In the brief moment of turning around, Qin Su estimated the Purge speed of He Muzhi and the others beside him, silently activated the Light Wave mixed with Pheromones that had an attraction effect on the designated insects, and adjusted the hearing parameters of his Visual Helmet.

Seeing Qin Su turn around in the darkness of the Abyss, the two classes that had been whispering their feelings fell silent. Regardless of whether Qin Su could see them or not, they were all on edge, their breathing unconsciously becoming shallow.

As they waited anxiously, Qin Su's familiar voice rang clearly in their ears through Full-Band Communication.

Qin Su: "What are you all standing there for? Let's get started."

Centered on his current location, by the time Sophia and the others are close to catching up, the lured insects should be appearing one after another.

After saying this, Qin Su thought about the speculations his classmates and the comments section had about his thoughts. He decided to go with the flow and, instead of turning around, openly watch them clean up.

When he turned around, he was certain there was no immediate danger behind him. Besides, he could clearly see everything behind him through his helmet without even turning around.

He also needs some time to wait for the Target Bug to arrive.

[Qin, the Inspector, is now online!]

[No, Boss 1's giving them way too much credit. Who could possibly learn that?]

That's what makes it challenging; the ability to learn it makes it all the more valuable.

"!"

"Receive!"

"Yes!"

Familiar voices rang out in the Communication Channel. The people who had been standing there in a daze responded and, under Qin Su's watchful gaze, quickly began to take action.

'You guessed right. Qin Su's actions just now were indeed a demonstration for them; otherwise, there's no explanation for why Qin Su's watching them so closely now.'

He Muzhi gave a low "yes," gripped the Barrier Device in his hand, and turned it off. Instead of immediately activating the red Light Wave on his body, he cautiously observed the situation ahead of his clearing path, silently reflecting on his actions.

He really wanted to activate the weapon before it was even set up, but he wouldn't risk his life. What if he messed it up and failed to attack the insect, only to be blown up himself? He'd end up embarrassing himself in front of Qin Su instead of being able to imitate him properly, which would be a huge loss.

Unlike Qin Su, who was a seasoned veteran who could act swiftly and decisively without hesitation after a single glance at the situation ahead, he didn't need to think for even a second.

Under Qin Su's scrutinizing gaze, he could only brazenly observe first, mentally planning his next move before taking action.

It will be slower, but it's better than acting rashly and making a fool of yourself.

He Muzhi kept convincing himself to temporarily shift his attention away from Qin Su and focus on his own Purge route.

Thanks to Qin Su clearing out the nearby insects, not only him, but also Sophia and other classmates who were close to Qin Su's starting point, even after putting away their Barrier Devices like him, were temporarily free from insect interference.

Some were simply creatures that Qin Su deliberately avoided during the extermination process, unlike the insects which were normally aggressive aquatic organisms.

The students in Class 66) and the other students in Class 6) who were not assigned to Qin Su's vicinity were willing but unable to learn. Knowing that they could not learn, they did not force themselves to learn. After receiving Qin Su's order, they put away the Barrier Device and began to carry out the Purge mission in an orderly manner.

After two days of observation and waiting, they were already stronger than the other members of the group from the previous two days, and they couldn't wait any longer. Their admiration for strength made them want to win Qin Su's favor, so they unconsciously cleaned up faster than the students from the previous two days.

They naturally noticed that Sophia, He Muzhi, and the others acted immediately after speaking, just like them, and guessed that the group of people who received special treatment from Qin Su were planning to imitate Qin Su. In addition to envy, they were also curious.

Unconsciously, he was paying close attention to Sophia and her group's every move.

Without a doubt, Qin Su is a ceiling they can never reach.

They could only look up to He Muzhi and his ilk in terms of strength, and they were eager to know to what extent they could imitate Qin Su.

But...

Why is Raymond getting involved?

He was clearly "exiled" to such a far place by Qin Su. Qin Su immediately thought he was unreliable, possessing only high Pheromone levels but actually inferior to He Muzhi and the others in other aspects. Was it really necessary for him to follow them?

Don't you feel embarrassed at all?

"..."

The students are really good at learning everything.

In just one second, with the premise in mind, Qin Su understood why Sophia and the others didn't move, and he was filled with admiration.

After observing for more than a minute, Qin Su saw He Muzhi and the others begin to move one after another.

Among the crowd that had temporarily stopped observing, Raymond, who was quite a distance away from him, was the first to set off.

At such a distance, Raymond wouldn't normally bother to notice him if it weren't for his dazzling rainbow-colored gear.

Qin Su first heard Raymond's self-encouraging voice, "You can do it, Raymond!" in the channel. Then, noticing the brief silence that followed Raymond's earlier hushed chatter, he saw Raymond yelling something like "Ahhh, for Qin Su!" and Qin Su joining in the public execution. Then, Raymond dashed off like a rainbow-colored wild horse...

duang--

Raymond's body crashed into Pufferfish that was falling from above.

The Pufferfish is swollen like a ball, its body is bouncy and its skin is so thick that even a Dagger cannot pierce it. Even if you manage to cut open the skin with great effort, the inside is full of thick fat and cannot be eaten. Yet it will go into any net it sees, crash into any person it sees, and bite any hook it sees.

Vagakupo.

Raymond was so preoccupied with figuring out how to clear the worms from his path that he was completely oblivious to the guinea Pufferfish that had been watching him from below.

Before everyone's eyes, Raymond's attack was thwarted by the Pufferfish before he could even begin. His body tumbled several times in the dim water, and when he finally came to a stop, he was farther away than where he had originally planned his attack path.

[... I burst out laughing so hard I rolled on the floor!]

[Pufferfish: What are you doing, all this nonsense? Rebound~]

[Out of 10, I'd give Raymond an 8.6 for this play, since he seems to have a 1.4 in his stats (laughing and crying)]

Raymond's mind went blank for a moment. When his body automatically stopped due to the protective mechanism of his Combat Suit, he found that all the students within his field of vision had stopped cleaning and were staring at him.

"..."

Before Raymond could even dig a hole and bury himself in it, he stiffly twisted his neck to look at Qin Su.

Qin Su's gaze wasn't fixed on him, but rather on He Muzhi, Sophia, and the others.

"Call..."

For the first time, Raymond was relieved that Qin Su's gaze wasn't on him; he felt that the sun had come out, the rain had stopped, and he was back to normal.

Others?

He didn't care about a bunch of competitors.

Qin Su, who watched the whole thing. "..."

He's professionally trained and doesn't usually laugh, unless he can't hold it in... no, no, no, there are many people around, so he holds it in.

Besides, Raymond was specifically looking to see if he was laughing at him. If he actually laughed, not only would his image be ruined, but Raymond would also become withdrawn.

Qin Su strongly suspected that Raymond was chosen by the Pufferfish because his current colors were too dazzling.

Qin Su silently resolved in his heart not to choose the weapon with the flashy 'skin'.

"Pfft haha--"

Someone started it, and a burst of undisguised laughter broke out in the previously tense Full-Band Communication.

Raymond's self-sacrificing interruption effectively eased everyone's tension.

'Anyway, it can't be worse than Raymond's.'

Lifi and Richards waited not far from Qin Su. Because Qin Su exuded a serious and cold aura, they were so trying not to laugh that their faces contorted and twitched. They couldn't reach out and rub their faces properly through the Visual Helmets, so when they couldn't hold back anymore, they could only turn their faces away and laugh with their shoulders shaking.

"...?"

Seeing the Pufferfish that had crashed into Raymond and was now heading towards him, He Muzhi dared not laugh.

[Sacrificing Raymond for the happiness of Sophia and her group]

[Raymond: Hello? Was that polite?]

[The world where only Raymond is injured has been achieved]

[No, no, no, look at He Muzhi, let's congratulate the next victim, hahaha]

Raymond, having made sure Qin Su hadn't noticed him and had come to terms with it, ignored the jeers of his classmates. He looked up to make sure no more Pufferfish were eyeing him, and the Pufferfish that had bumped into him earlier remained silent, swimming straight toward He Muzhi. He took a deep breath and started again.

This time, even without the Pufferfish interfering, Raymond's progress... wasn't smooth sailing either.

The ideal was beautiful, but reality was terrible. Raymond wasn't fast, and when he was fighting the third bug, he was suddenly attacked from below. He didn't switch weapons in time, so he simply ducked to avoid it, falling a distance before attacking from below.

This contrasted sharply with Qin Su's fluid and rapid movements.

After failing twice, Raymond made a comeback, becoming more determined with each setback.

Anyway... he's already completely lost face, so no one will bother laughing at him if he makes any more embarrassments.

Seeing Raymond's unwavering courage to start over, Sophia and the others, their smiles fading, were encouraged and, without further hesitation, began their planned operation to Purge...

Seeing that He Muzhi and his group were starting to make a move, the others, who were not in immediate danger, also stopped to watch.

After watching for less than ten seconds, everyone understood.

If I had to describe it, Qin Su's actions were seamless, a passionate battle without any pauses, while the others' imitations were like watching a PowerPoint presentation with varying degrees of lag.

Only after making the comparison did everyone realize how rare Qin Su's smooth and efficient Purge maneuver was.

With so many people acting together, Qin Su was afraid he couldn't keep up with everyone's every move, so he silently recorded his classmates' actions on the screen, focusing on He Muzhi.

Although only a dozen seconds had passed and He Muzhi's speed was not as fast as his, Qin Su, based on his past experience, was horrified to discover that he didn't need to give He Muzhi and the others more time to grow. If he gave them the same amount of time to practice here in advance as he had before, it was only a matter of time before they caught up with him.

In this matter, he was still only benefiting from his experience.

Thinking of this, Qin Su felt an increased sense of pressure and unconsciously frowned.

He Muzhi had just made a mistake, and instinctively looked in Qin Su's direction. He saw Qin Su's brows furrow slightly because of his mistake, and his heart sank.

'Good news, Qin Su has been keeping a close eye on his performance.'

'The bad news is, Qin Su saw through every single mistake he made.'

He Muzhi swallowed nervously, trying to avoid making any more mistakes. He Muzhi could only temporarily abandon his pursuit of speed and instead use speed to execute a smooth kill.

Thinking of this, He Muzhi glanced at Sophia and secretly praised her foresight. Although she wasn't as fast as he was at the beginning, Sophia had never made any basic mistakes in positioning, precise sniping, or weapon switching, which Qin Su had trained them on several times.

[Tsk tsk, Qin Su frowned. You know, Qin Su didn't even frown when Raymond wasn't doing well, but He Muzhi frowned not long after the start, clearly showing his dissatisfaction with He Muzhi's learning progress.]

Why isn't it Jeffrey and the others? We all learned together, so why is the blame being pinned on A-Mu alone?

[It's not entirely Mu Bao's fault. Qin Su has been giving him too many learning projects lately. He even disassembled the weapons. Even someone with strong Mental Power couldn't handle such intense learning. Qin Su is treating normal people like dirt, just relentlessly teaching.]

[Hehe, if you guys don't learn, plenty of others will. Su Bao is very disappointed in you.]

The comments section was a complete mess.

Qin Su: "..."

It's a miscarriage of justice! Is it possible that they insisted on learning it themselves?

Qin Su felt a slight pain in his spine.

Amidst the noisy chatter and everyone's stuttering imitations, time flew by. Qin Su, who had silently adjusted his hearing settings to the maximum, heard a distinct sound of water coming from afar.

'Here I am.'

Only...

Qin Su glanced at his classmates, who were still engrossed in imitating his Purge operations, and his heart skipped a beat.

They arrived faster than he expected.

According to his plan, by the time they arrived, Jeffrey and his men should have already cleared a place not too far from their current location.

Now, Sophia and the others are not far from his expected distance, but they have still disrupted his plans.

And isn't the resistance and noise from swimming in the water a bit loud? The insects he precisely selected and released last night, those that matched the targeted Pheromones he was currently emitting with his Light Waves, didn't seem to experience this much resistance when swimming, did they?

Qin Su suddenly had a bad feeling.

Qin Su glanced at his classmates without showing any sign of confusion. Seeing that none of them had adjusted their hearing parameters like he had, he didn't notice anything unusual for the time being.

Qin Su subtly clenched his hands at his sides, withdrew his gaze from He Muzhi and the others, and turned around with a calm expression but a tense body, facing the direction from which the commotion was greatest, which was directly in front of him.

Based on the speed at which the movement increases, the opponent is moving extremely fast.

He didn't have time to think; he had to turn around immediately to get more time to see clearly.

When He Muzhi and the others saw that they were still quite a distance away from Qin Su suddenly turned around, leaving his back to them.

The group was stunned, and even though they were far apart, they instinctively looked at each other as if seeking answers, when they noticed an unusual tremor in the water.
