"Alright." Alec, who had been taken aback by Raymond's words, broke the somber atmosphere. "Since things have come to this, neither of us can change it. Considering we finished our mission ahead of schedule, and now that Qin Su is away and everyone is relaxed, why don't we talk about something more cheerful?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

The students in Class 66) hurriedly echoed their Class Monitor.

"So, what should we talk about?"

(Class 6 didn't want to spoil the fun, so they found seats and started taking off the weapons they hadn't had time to put back in the Supply Warehouse.

The Purge mission was completed, and there were still more than half of the supplies left in the warehouse. They weren't worried about damaging them and having nothing to use.

It was Qin Su who led the way in using the weapons as teaching aids to teach them how to disassemble them. Even if they couldn't reassemble them and return them, the school would most likely not blame them.

The school has never issued any rules prohibiting the disassembly of weapons.

Seeing the students of Class 6) skillfully take out their weapons and start fiddling with them, Alec's lips twitched slightly.

"I'm not saying this to be mean, but do you (Class 6) have to work so hard?" He thought that because Qin Su was cold-faced, Class 6 was in a bad mood, so he thought of saying something cheerful to cheer them up.

Who knew that even though the students in Class 6 were worried that Qin Su was dissatisfied with them and were feeling down, it didn't stop them from continuing to work hard in order to please Qin Su.

(Class 6 stood out among many classes and became Qin Su's first choice, but he was not envious at all.

If it were him, he wouldn't have had that kind of perseverance; otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to slack off by majoring in Transport.

"Yes, yes!"

"Absolutely."

"If I don't work hard for even a day, with so many classes and students eyeing me so closely, I have a strong sense of crisis about being replaced."

"I've started studying it. I used to scoff at the idea of using a template, but now, just thinking about Qin Su makes me study it frame by frame like crazy."

(Class 66: "..."

This mentality is unchangeable; it's simply impossible to win.

Alec cleared his throat. "The good news... I'm not saying this to be rude, but the speed at which you (Class 66) cleaned up was just too fast. It surprised us all. This kind of speed is outstanding, not to mention in the entire Class of 26, even in Class of 25, or even in Class of 24, which we've worked with before."

Fearing difficulties in future collaborations, Alec quickly put on his armor again. "I don't mean to say anything bad about the seniors from the Class of 24, it's just that your Class 6) is too strong."

"Actually, it's not that strong."

"Haha, yes, it's just basic stuff."

No one dislikes being praised, especially by seniors. Although the group in Class 6 were reserved on the surface, they couldn't hide the joy on their faces.

"Besides, we completed the mission together; we were just as fast."

Unbeknownst to them, the students in Class 6) were singled out by Qin Su, who ranked first, and were able to stand on their own. Their overall strength also ranked among the top in other classes and other years due to the high-intensity self-discipline training they had accumulated over time.

"No, no, no," Alec quickly denied. "My eyes are fine. On the first and second days, our (Class 66 made up the vast majority of Team 1. On the third day, which is today, our (Class 66 only made up a tiny fraction of Team 1, which was responsible for Purge enemy. But judging from the map, the area we cleared today far exceeded the proportion of the previous two days."

All of this is enough to prove the absolute strength of Class 6), and the small number of people in Class 66) are not worth mentioning.

"No, no, you're too kind, senior. It's all thanks to our collaborative efforts; we were all great."

"Wow, you guys are so humble..."

Watching Sophia and Jeffrey praising each other, He Muzhi realized his weakness. He started learning about weapon construction while also practicing his eloquence with his classmates.

He wasn't Qin Su, who could become the focus of everyone's attention even without speaking, relying on his personal charm and overwhelming strength. He needed to learn some nice words. He didn't need to be a social butterfly, but at least he could make sure that the other person's words didn't fall flat when they were talking to him.

[ (Class 6 members: Feeling lost, frustrated, sad, and upset... but still able to learn!]

[Vision: A swarm of unkillable cockroaches]

[ (Class 6: Internet family members, don't you have a more respectable way of addressing each other?]

[That group of cockroaches wearing ties?]

[ (Class 6:...(Pinching the duck's beak. jpg)]

[He Muzhi had never thought about interacting with people before; his mind was only focused on his life-or-death struggle with insects. Now, he's actually starting to think about becoming a social butterfly. If his whole family knew this, they'd be ecstatic.]

This time, the sudden appearance of the giant object disrupted the rhythm of Blake's class, resulting in accidents for many students. Neither Class 6 nor Class 66 said anything on social Forum, for fear of arousing the grief of other classes where students had died. They simply recounted the incident truthfully or forwarded the video when asked by other classes or teachers.

The school received the videos from Class 6) and Class 66) and reported them to higher authorities in detail.

The sight of the enormous monster that had recently appeared underwater in Vagakupo did not surprise the people who heard the news.

It's perfectly normal for Vagakupo with water and its unfathomable Abyss to harbor many unrecorded aquatic creatures. This isn't the first time such an event has occurred; other Military Academies besides the Fourth Military Academy have also had similar encounters while Purge the insects in Vagakupo's waters.

Students come in batches, and every year the extra revenue generated from Purge insects attracts a considerable number of students, so there is never a shortage of them.

The students were focused on the sacrifice of their companion, but they were more interested in Qin Su's performance, which always surprised them, than the monster.

They analyzed the video footage they obtained from the students frame by frame, and were deeply moved when they saw Qin Su break free of his Combat Suit and pierce through the massive creature's body with lightning force.

Even if they were to go all out to surround and annihilate Qin Su, determined to bombard him into dust from every angle, given the technology Qin Su had demonstrated in Vitelta, Qin Su could still disappear instantly in a dangerous situation.

They can't be eliminated, they can't afford to offend them, and their motives are unknown.

They were truly at their wits' end with Qin Su.

Moreover, since last semester, for some reason, the group of people who were known to be ruthless and cunning and who initially targeted Qin Su have now become as docile as quails when it comes to Qin Su's affairs. Not only have they not expressed any opinions at all, but they have also repeatedly warned Qin Su indirectly when he was making some harmless calculations against him.

Simply...

Their ambiguous relationship with Qin Su left them completely baffled.

The students of Class 6 waited until midnight, but Qin Su showed no sign of appearing again, so they all went back to their Rest Pod to rest.

The people in Class 66) saw that the people in Class 6) didn't leave, so they got used to following in their footsteps and disassembled and reassembled the weapons together countless times.

--

With the Purge mission completed, the heavy weight lifted from the hearts of the students in Class 6 and Class 66, and they finally got a good night's sleep, something they hadn't had in almost a month.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Qin Su was awakened by an electric shock from his Hibernation Pod when the time he had set was up.

Upon waking, Qin Su lay in his Hibernation Pod. First, following the plan he'd devised before closing his eyes the previous day, he opened his Optical Brain terminal and filled in the list with the names of various weapons. Then, taking advantage of the lull, he sensed the strength in his limbs and tried to move them...

With five minutes to go before nine o'clock in the morning, Qin Su spent nearly two hours quickly reviewing the three-day Weapon Disassembly schedule and the daily assessment items he had written during his rehabilitation.

Having nothing better to do these past few days, and since the Viewers all thinks he has ulterior motives in showing everyone the structure of each weapon, he might as well confirm it.

Whether Qin Su will be useful in the future is uncertain, but it's always good to have more skills, so let's learn them first.

Fortunately, he had a certain fondness for weapons, especially after acquiring the Military Factory. With the system's initial blueprints for various weapons, Mecha, and Spaceships, he memorized them and gained a thorough understanding of almost every weapon available on the market. He even meticulously recorded every step of the disassembly process, fearing he wouldn't be able to reassemble them, and stored the recordings in his Optical Brain. He had both data and video analysis, which enabled him to complete all of this in such a short time.

The disassembly and assembly are recorded in detail on the screen, and the speed is not fast, which is just right for students in the initial learning stage.

With one minute left until 9 o'clock, Qin Su finished his inspection and set the announcement to be sent on time.

Human nature is inherently biased. Qin Su didn't have any particular feelings about Class 66), but mainly targeted Class 6) where He Muzhi was.

Now that we're all in the same boat, Qin Su didn't want the people in Class 66 to think he was discriminating against them, so he chose the group that both classes belonged to when he sent the announcement.

At 9:00 AM sharp, after seeing the announcement successfully sent, Qin Su closed his eyes again.

In the two hours since he woke up, he tried to regain his physical strength, which was slightly greater than yesterday, but his mind and body were still temporarily 'separate,' and he was unable to achieve consistency between his outward appearance and inner thoughts.

Since there were no more Purge missions, he naturally couldn't rely on his Combat Suit to maintain physical movement and appear in front of people. So he simply lay still to avoid going out and increasing the risk of exposing his true situation.

Given the students' superior attitude of "asking themselves more and questioning others less" in Class 6, if he doesn't show up and just "coldly" throws out a schedule, they might imagine that "he's so angry that he doesn't want to see them."

The task has been completed. Although the people in Class 6) were unsure of Qin Su's plans, they were used to getting up early.

There was no training ground inside the Spaceship, but the space created by piecing together several Spaceships was large enough to compare with a small training ground in a school. The soundproofing of the Rest Pod was excellent, so they were not worried about disturbing the students Rest Pod. After getting up, they quietly carried out various exercises in the Spaceship cabins under He Muzhi's organization.

Everything is based on their own will. Since the beginning of the last semester, Class 6) has lived a highly self-disciplined collective life, even when they volunteered at the Funeral Home during the summer vacation. They were both voluntary and attended the funerals in an orderly manner.

Class 66) did not have this habit. When they woke up and found that Class 6) had been training together without any tasks, they once again felt ashamed of their own Class 6), they should join Class 6)' s self-disciplined day.

At 9:00 AM sharp, almost everyone in both classes saw the announcement sent by Qin Su at the same time.

"Was it an arrangement? Was it an arrangement from the Class Monitor? And was it an arrangement for three consecutive days?"

"It's confirmed that the Class Monitor explained the weapon's structure to us."

"That's great! Our Class Monitor didn't give up on us."

There is still hope for us!

After a brief silence, the voices of the students in Class 6) were filled with undisguised joy.

"Damn it, I lost to He Muzhi again." Jeffrey looked at the words on the schedule that He Muzhi was responsible for the daily final assessments with envy and jealousy in his eyes.

"Try to look on the bright side." Raymond said regretfully. "You and Sophia have both become group leaders, and you're even ranked at the top, while I, although also a group leader, am ranked at the bottom. This means Qin Su remembered your names earlier than he remembered mine. Who can beat me in terms of misery?"

Anthony: "... Raymond, that's enough. Team leader, aren't you satisfied? I'm just a team member, what did I say?"

"That's because you're bad at the game, is it my fault?" Raymond posted a screenshot in the family group chat, beaming with pride. "I was personally appointed as the group leader by Qin Su. You try getting Qin Su to appoint you, if you're so capable!"

"Raymond, you'd better shut up, or Anthony might break through your defense and beat you up with a sack of potatoes."

Upon seeing the announcement, and witnessing firsthand how the students in Class 6 went from initial surprise to internal competition, Class 66: "..."

They didn't know what kind of mentality the students in Class 6 had in order to utter these heartfelt exclamations. All they knew was that, from their own perspective as bystanders, the students in Class 6 had been subjected to Qin Su's lectures to the point of being somewhat morbid.

"Um... don't forget about us!" Alec interjected, making a request to join, "We're included by Qin Su too, but that's not the point. The point is, I'm a group leader too!"

(Class 66: "..."

Qin Su's poison seemed to have affected their Class Monitor quite severely as well. For the first time, they couldn't distinguish between the big and small kings and were shocked to realize that their Class Monitor was no match for the group leader personally appointed by Qin Su.

[Anthony's defense was broken]

The winds of official sealing still managed to reach the Comic World.

[Another day of being 'personally sealed off' and under strict control]

[If this training continues like Boss 1, after the students of Class 6) graduate and are assigned to various industries, they will all be potential assassins!]

Seeing that everyone had finished speaking, He Muzhi finally spoke up, "Alright, everyone, let's begin."

Everyone felt envious but obeyed the advice given He Muzhi was entrusted with an important task by Qin Su.

"Such tricky knowledge, even Brother Su knows it. No wonder he's Brother Su, he knows everything. I can't even imagine the amount of knowledge the Class Monitor has."

"Huh... how come they even have weapon analyses that our school doesn't have? Is this something we can see?"

"Damn it, that's definitely our Class Monitor's hand!"

"The Class Monitor personally disassembled the precious video footage! The speed was deliberately slowed down; it was obviously prepared specifically for us. Otherwise, given the speed at which the Class Monitor disassembled and reassembled the video before us for the first time, it would have been too fast for us to see clearly."

"Although the recording time isn't available, judging from the background, it's clear it wasn't recorded here, but rather pre-recorded. This means the Class Monitor had planned this step for us long ago!"

"So... our Class Monitor has done so much for our Class 6), yet we haven't satisfied Class Monitor. Class Monitor's still willing to give us opportunities to grow. I absolutely adore our Class Monitor!"

"I'll always get slammed into the wall by the Class Monitor!"

(Class 66: "..."

Who's so envious of them...? Oh, it's them themselves. Never mind then.

Qin Su, who was in a 'dormant period', saw its Native Favorability and the distance of the bullet comments surge again after penetrating the behemoth.

[As expected, Qin Su's premeditated choice of Class 6) is once again confirmed.]

[Outrageous statement: To receive such genuine treatment from Qin Su, even if it's a scheme, I'd be happy.]

[What if it's only one percent genuine affection? Don't fall too much in love, or you'll end up being devoured, leaving not even a bone fragment, and you won't even know how you died.]

[He plans one step ahead, and every time the truth is revealed, Boss Su never disappoints me.]

[What? One percent sincerity and ninety-nine percent scheming? Exciting! I love it even more! It's absolutely thrilling! (suddenly sitting up in shock from a near-death experience. jpg)]

To avoid anyone remembering him halfway through, Qin Su filled the three days with his schedule.

Over the course of three days, Class 66) and Class 6) studied so hard, under Qin Su's deliberate plan, that they had no time to look for Qin Su or even log into any Social Media Accounts.

Unsure whether Qin Su's training on weapon construction needed to be kept secret, He Muzhi treated it as confidentiality and instructed everyone to read and respond randomly to inquiries from students in other classes from the very beginning.

[What? What are we doing? You're right, the weather is indeed nice today.]

[Oh, where's Qin Su? I'm eating right now.]

[Qin Su's movements? I'm currently figuring out how to beat Raymond (smile)]

[What? You're asking about He Muzhi? Damn it, envying He Muzhi is as easy as breathing!]

Other classes. "..."

I don't understand, but it's infuriating.

After three consecutive days of rest, on the last day of the Purge, Qin Su had recovered enough to walk freely, but he was still too weak to withstand any storms; he would collapse if the wind blew even slightly.

Qin Su, barely able to keep up with his condition, crawled out of the Hibernation Pod. He secretly resolved never to use ten K-110s at once again, and paced back and forth on the floor of the Rest Pod, trying to regain the feeling of walking freely with his strength only slightly restored.

While practicing walking, Qin Su also took the opportunity to train his voice, which he hadn't spoken for three days.

With just over ten hours left before leaving Vagakupo, Qin Su had no plans for the day. The students from both classes got up early as usual, looking out of the Spaceship, enjoying the rare opportunity to appreciate the cleaned underwater environment.

Just as everyone was watching a group of orange, fan-shaped underwater creatures passing by, they heard familiar footsteps behind them.

Qin Su was secretly practicing to regain his normal state, appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, he took a few heavy steps, making a sound that he could easily make on the floor in the past, so that his classmates would hear him before they saw him, after all, it was embarrassing to be in the same situation as his own people who had appeared but had not been discovered.

Stepping out of the Rest Pod, Qin Su saw all eyes turning to him and secretly rejoiced that his effort hadn't been wasted.

Standing in a suitable spot, Qin Su was a little tired, so he stopped at the right time. He was too lazy to even move his neck, and just glanced at everyone perfunctorily.

Noticing Qin Su's casual glances, everyone tensed up, their gazes towards Qin Su filled with anticipation mixed with trepidation.

"Have you practiced enough?" Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, Qin Su uttered the three words he had practiced repeatedly not long ago.

Everyone hesitated for a moment, not quite understanding why Qin Su asked that question, and then nodded hesitantly.

"... Um?"

"Is that enough...?"

"Fine?"

Sensing the uncertainty in everyone's voices, Qin Su: "..."

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; there's nothing that can be done if they haven't practiced enough. This is the last day, and he won't give them any more time.

Qin Su said in a cold, hard tone, "Integrated Packaging all the remaining weapons within one hour."

After struggling to speak, Qin Su didn't want to say anything more.

Everyone: "?"

Qin Su hadn't appeared for three days, and when he did, he said something they couldn't understand. Everyone was a little confused, but they habitually responded in unison.

"Yes."

"Receive!"

Qin Su looked at them with no emotion in his eyes. No one knew whether Qin Su was happy or unhappy today, or whether he was satisfied with their performance over the past three days. They dared not ask, and could only head towards the Supply Warehouse in groups, full of doubts.

Watching his classmates leave, Qin Su felt a bit silly standing there. He activated his solo camera and lazily walked towards the nearest Transparent Wall, seemingly looking at the underwater situation outside the wall, but actually lowering his eyes. He didn't even have the energy to act anymore, just staring blankly with unfocused pupils. Although his body was weak, Qin Su's mind was full of energy, working non-stop.

Due to the unique nature of the Wagakubo Planet, there is no land to grow food, and people rely entirely on fishing for a living, selling their catch to other planets. Fishing is prohibited in all areas in rotation, so if you calculate carefully, every body of water on the entire planet needs to be netted and fished with rods.

The legendary air force, with just a net and a fishing rod, can catch anything except fish. Without Jump Point Platform, they naturally can't leave the remaining weapons in the water, lest the air force retrieve them in all sorts of bizarre and unbelievable ways.

Qin Su didn't understand why the school was giving out so many weapons this time. Since they couldn't be stored, could he simply assume they were for them?

The school did not prohibit the sale of these items; by not saying so, it implies that it is permissible.

The law does not punish the masses, so Qin Su planned to have his classmates deliberately spread the news that he was going to sell the weapons.

Based on the usual practices of other classes, if he sells it, there's a high chance they'll follow suit. These iconic weapons need to be resold; not just anyone dares to take them on, and the price will be driven down.

In other words, even dogs won't accept it... but he will.

He has many shady dealings.

He obtained low-priced weapons, and the students received a fair distribution of money, making up for the regret that most students did not get many kills and exchange them for many Star Coins due to the scarcity of bugs. The school solved its inventory problem.

They all have bright futures.
