Chapter 149

(Class 6 looked at each other. They naturally didn't know what Qin Su was going to do. To be on the safe side and to maintain their image in the eyes of others, they tacitly agreed to speak in unison.

"Is that even a question? Of course it's for our own good. Would they possibly harm us?"

"Hilarious! Time travel is impossible. Come to think of it, the Class Monitor is clearly rewarding us time and time again."

[One man's meat is another man's poison (doge) When will Class 6 realize that not everyone is like them?]

Let us observe a moment of silence for the students in the class who were deceived.

(Class 6) Although the students said this, they all tensed up as they recalled everything they had experienced in the past.

No one knew better than them that Qin Su's reward was like poison wrapped in honey; if they could endure it, the sweetness would overwhelm them; if they couldn't...

LOL, impossible, absolutely impossible.

'No one is more resilient than their (Class 6)'

Although they were also very scared, they knew that even if the sky fell, they would be the ones to hold it up. After all, they weren't really going to die. Those who couldn't kill them kept beating them, and they had been forced to become fearless, both physically and mentally.

Some of the classes from the Class of 26, who had also experienced Qin Su's "beatings," lacked experience and felt a slight doubt upon hearing this, whispering to their classmates about their own self-doubt.

"Are we too fragile? During training, Qin Su didn't treat us like human beings at all, not even as well as the Zerg. Of course, I don't mean it in a derogatory way, I'm just describing it as it is. How come it's being described as a reward by Class 6)?"

"That's probably why they're in Class 6, while we're in other classes."

"Perhaps this is Qin Su's selection mechanism; only those who can withstand the test can gain his favor?"

"... That's very sadistic."

"The way you're saying it, it's like those people in Class 6 are M... Ugh, what nonsense is this?"

The other classes of the Class of 24, seeing what Class 6) said, and the other classes of the Class of 26 who had previously trained with Class 6) did not refute it, believed it somewhat.

It's true that Class 6 always praises Qin Su unanimously, whether on Forums or the StarNet. Even they themselves admire Qin Su. In this situation, it's easiest to develop a hundred and eight layers of filters for Qin Su.

Being rational, they decided to wait until the afternoon to discuss it further.

--

Back in his dormitory, Qin Su returned to the Real World.

He still had a class in the Real World. Although he had privately made a deal with the teacher by agreeing to let him and five other students use some of the laboratory equipment during the specified time period, and thus obtained leave for the afternoon, Qin Su still felt guilty. So, during the lunch break when the teacher was using the equipment with other students from his class, he went to the laboratory to help out.

Many expensive instruments are only possessed by a few research institutes in China. Due to the special circumstances of his Parents, the Qin Family has basically acquired all of them. In the laboratory borrowing room, Qin Su had known the teacher for many years. Because of his Parents' upbringing, he wanted to know a little bit about everything, and this was not the first time he had helped the teacher with these things.

After working for an hour, Qin Su felt a little better. After leaving in silence, he took some micro-injections diluted several times with K-110 from Jiang Cheng.

Based on his understanding of the Interstellar World, he realized that in terms of Exoskeletons, the Interstellar World's technology far surpasses that of the Real World.

Although he brought back data on Exoskeletons and equipment that could be purchased through the Black Market from the Interstellar World, the Exoskeleton equipment manufactured at the current stage leaves obvious marks on the human body, and abnormalities can be easily seen through the muscle traces when moving.

During afternoon classes in the Comic World, Qin Su worried that the older students, who were not in the same year as him, might be dissatisfied with his plan and cause some conflict with him.

He had never had any actual physical contact with them, especially the Class Monitor whose Pheromones were all at least double SS level. Lacking practical experience in combat with them, he couldn't win like He Muzhi by acting recklessly. If a conflict were to actually break out, he, who held an absolute position of strength in everyone's eyes, could only achieve absolute victory by adopting a leisurely attitude.

The truth is, judging from the force with which He Muzhi slammed onto the Barrier Device during his fight with Chris, without relying on 'technology,' relying solely on physical strength, and without 'scheming,' relying only on the explosive power of the moment of contact, he was no match for the Interstellar People.

He cannot use the currently available Exoskeletons to enhance the local strength of his limbs and still has to rely on the K-110.

However, the drawbacks of using K-110 are obvious. After three minutes, he will fall into a state of extreme weakness, at which point he will have no time to rest. Now, he can only control the effect within a certain area by diluting it and implanting some blocking devices, each time it is used on a certain part.

In this way, using it within a small area of the limbs will cause that part of the limb to lose strength, but he still has other parts he can use.

Based on his previous trials, although the effect of dilution several times did not have the absolute overwhelming strength of a full injection, he was able to analyze the data of the impact force on the Barrier Device during the Interstellar People combat by hacking into it. Now, the content of a single diluted dose is enough for him to withstand the force of eight He Muzhis fighting with all their might, which is the instantaneous burst attack power of SS Rank Alpha.

According to the interstellar algorithm, one SS-level Alpha is equal to four SS Rank Alphas.

In theory, one injection from him could withstand the combined power of two SSS-Rank Alphas in interstellar space for three minutes.

After watching Qin Su inspect the equipment and close his briefcase, Jiang Cheng handed Qin Su the borrowing application he had brought with him. "Not long ago, Teacher Hu sent a request to borrow these three pieces of equipment for six hours. Should we grant it?"

Qin Su glanced at it, made sure it was equipment that could be borrowed, and nodded, saying, "Borrow."

He had no idea when he would need to ask for leave again. His participation grade mostly depended on the teacher's impression of him, except when he helped students who were below the passing grade to pass the exam.

Making things convenient for teachers is making things convenient for oneself.

"My frequent absences have already given many teachers a bad impression of me, so I should try to find other ways to be more opportunistic."

Most of the teachers who need to borrow these devices know each other, and if they mention him after borrowing something, they might speak well of him.

Jiang Cheng: "... Okay."

Qin Su seems to have a deep misunderstanding of himself. Although he doesn't know what Qin Su is doing when Qin Su is not around, he finds it hard to have a bad impression of Qin Su when he sees many people interacting with him.

But based on the matter of the equipment, that group of people were absolutely reluctant to see Qin Su graduate. Qin Su was almost always willing to grant their requests for a small leave of absence. In their eyes, he was comparable to the wishing king in the wishing well... no, the turtle in the wishing well was not as effective as Qin Su to them.

"By the way, why did I receive a transfer from you a few days ago?" With business finished, Jiang Cheng asked about his personal matters with a hint of curiosity.

"... Believe me, Assistant Jiang, that's compensation for your emotional distress, and you deserve it."

Qin Su didn't dare say that the last time he used Jiang Cheng's name to purchase the school's supplies, it attracted a lot of private abuse against Jiang Cheng in the Interstellar World, and many arms dealers on the Dark Web offered high prices to assassinate 'Jiang Cheng'.

Jiang Cheng: "Huh?"

"I have something to do, goodbye." Qin Su picked up his suitcase and turned to leave.

Jiang Cheng: "..."

It's been confirmed. Qin Su is not only the turtle in the wishing well, but also a part-time money-giving boy.

--

One fifty-five minutes in the afternoon.

Driven by their intense curiosity, both the Class of 26 and Class of 24 cohorts arrived at V-207 before the regular class schedule.

With anxious anticipation, Qin Su arrived at the designated location.

After a morning of close observation, Qin Su gained a certain understanding of some of the top students in the ten classes of the Class of 24.

After the class bell rang, without any intention of gathering, he connected to the V-207 building's public address system, his gaze and steps never faltering for anyone, and headed straight for the Changing Room, saying, "Five minutes. Change into your PR46 Combat Suit and assemble as assigned to Team 1 2 this morning."

Five minutes is neither a long nor a short time. Everyone was thinking of changing up as soon as possible and coming out to eat melons. Seeing the enthusiastic look of the group of people in Class 6), the competitive mentality inspired a group of people. As soon as Qin Su finished speaking, everyone quickly rushed into the Changing Room.

In less than five minutes, Qin Su deliberately delayed his exit and saw that Team 1 and Team 2 had assembled.

Qin Su naturally stood in the center in front of the two teams, pretending to ignore the gossip that was almost overflowing in their eyes, maintaining a calm demeanor, and changed the page that had been adjusted in the Changing Room to the normal Optical Brain, that is, the mode visible to everyone.

The moment the super-large screen opened, Qin Su sent the pre-set link—which only required One-Click Send to send the pre-written process—to the Optical Brain of every student in the thirty classes.

Then he spoke again, "You have three minutes to find your respective groups."

There are public and private sections, so students can watch whichever side they like. The details will determine the amount and intensity of the scolding and beatings they will receive later. Qin Su is happy to subtly win everyone's favor in such small matters.

He didn't want to, but the actual situation that morning told him that the Command Class course was just as he had imagined—too boring and dull. Relying solely on language was too pale. He had to find some excitement for everyone and make sure that the students would remember it as much as possible.

Starting from choosing their majors next semester, they will basically be working with either the upperclassmen or the lowerclassmen, either being "taught" or "obeyed," making it difficult to have such a simple opportunity to systematically understand each major in advance.

The students in all thirty classes subconsciously looked up at the unfolded page when they heard Qin Su's voice a second ago, but before they could see it clearly, they received a notification on their Optical Brain.

Everyone nodded and clicked on the link sent by Qin Su's identity ID.

Seeing the exact same schedule displayed on the big screen and on their personal Optical Brain, with their names and positions clearly marked, the experienced students of the Class of 26 were still moved once again, let alone the students of the Class of 24.

"I never expected Qin Su, who seems so cold and aloof, to be so considerate in real life?"

"Hmm... You're treating me like a primary school student... Fine, I like being meticulously arranged like this. It requires no brainpower and is very efficient."

As they spoke, everyone found their assigned members and formed small groups.

With Qin Su's well-organized arrangements, everyone was in their positions in less than three minutes.

In the vast training field, Team 1 and Team 2, which were originally only five steps apart, are now a full thirty meters apart.

Each team and each group is spaced approximately fifty centimeters apart.

Looking at it from different angles, it resembles two small squares split in two.

"Wait, it seems we... don't have a group chat."

Once the phased orders were completed, many people were soon unaware of the situation.

"How Qin Su sent it to us, let's not even talk about the Class of 26. Before the Class of 24, we had absolutely no close contact with Qin Su, and we were no longer on Qin Su's friend list."

"Whatever, I'm just amazed that Qin Su knows my contact information?! Why do I feel a little thrill about it?"

"Hehe, look at the other people's situations. Qin Su clearly knows the contact information of everyone here equally. This isn't special for you, OK?"

Qin Su: "..."

Everyone was speaking in hushed tones, but since so many people were saying similar things, it was hard for Qin Su not to hear them.

He didn't know that the process was written first, and then copied, pasted, and sent by the process.

During the three minutes he pretended to be deaf and dumb, Qin Su secretly used hacking techniques to 'lock down' all the smart devices in the entire V-207.

Just in case, not entirely confident in himself, he quietly added a second 'lock' to the system to ensure that no one but himself could connect to any of the V-207's devices.

Thanks to the Interstellar People's habit of linking all devices with Mental Power, even if someone secretly linked V-207 with Mental Power that he couldn't detect, they couldn't break through these two light cards.

They didn't sense any fluctuations in Mental Power when they were seizing the link.

People might mistakenly believe he has strong 'Mental Power'.

When the time was up, Qin Su shut down his Optical Brain interface and snapped his fingers.

Click...

After a crisp sound, the entire V-207 was plunged into darkness in an instant.

In this way, Qin Su remained silent, and the thirty students snapped back to reality in the blink of an eye, all turning their gazes in the darkness toward the spot where Qin Su was standing.

'?'

'What happened?'

Almost everyone had the same question in their minds.

However, after Qin Su's modifications, the entire V-207 became so black that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

They couldn't see Qin Su at all.

"..."

It was unsettling, especially since he had absolutely no idea what Qin Su was planning to do.

Deprived of their sight, and surrounded by sudden darkness, they could only hear each other's breathing, causing them to feel tense.

Some people tried to connect to the V-207's light source, but without exception, no matter how much they enhanced their Mental Power, they were unable to connect.

What terrified the people on the link, namely the Class Monitor who were SS or SSS Rank, was that during the link, they could not sense any fluctuations in the Mental Power that locked down V-207, namely Qin Su.

' Qin Su's outward strength, and even his Mental Power, are so strong that they cannot be shaken in the slightest.'

[(Wink)(wink)]

[Suddenly, darkness fell without warning~]

['It's getting dark,' I mean, it's likely both a physical and psychological 'darkness' (doge)]

I understand, you mean these people have been locked up in a "dark room" in various ways, right?

[Finally, it's time to start ravaging them to my heart's content! I'm so excited I'm almost blurry!]

Qin Su gave everyone two seconds to freeze and experience the darkness before taking a step, deliberately increasing the force of his footsteps on the floor.

Step, step, step...

The sound of combat boots hitting the ground was particularly clear in the dark space.

When vision is limited, hearing becomes exceptionally acute.

No one had a chance to see anything with their own eyes at this moment. In this 'suffocating' environment that Qin Su had deliberately created, they felt as if Qin Su's footsteps were stepping on their hearts, causing them to unconsciously slow down their breathing.

Since Qin Su could not see in the dark, he sent links to each person's Optical Brain through the writing process, and set a mark on each link.

Through his invisible Optical Brain, he could see countless red dots arranged in an orderly fashion in the darkness.

He only needs to move to the center of the two red dots based on their positions.

Using the red dots as markers, Qin Su successfully reached the center of Team 1 and Team 2, and snapped his fingers again in the pitch-black environment.

Click...

Two beams of light followed the sound and shone on the members of Team 1 and Team 2's respective subgroups.

The two group members were caught off guard by the light falling on them, blinked uncomfortably, and some of them instinctively looked up at the beam of light descending from above.

Meanwhile, the other groups focused their attention on Group 1, who was alone and surrounded by two beams of light.

They had expected to see Qin Su after the second snap of his fingers, but instead they saw someone else. It would be a lie to say they weren't disappointed.

Although they judged from the sound of footsteps that Qin Su was standing between their two groups, they were not entirely at ease without visual confirmation.

Although He Muzhi was also surprised that the light fell on him, he restrained his body's instinctive urge to look up the moment the light came on, thinking that Qin Su might be watching him silently in the dark. He looked calmly ahead as if he hadn't felt anything, seemingly indifferent to everything around him.

' Qin Su specifically assigned him to Team 1, Group 1, he must have high hopes for his performance. No matter what happens later, he must stay calm.'

Who taught Qin Su to use such drastic lighting?

[What the hell is this lighting? (laughing and crying) This is clearly a 'lucky guest' chosen!]

[I have to say, even two-dimensional characters need to be handsome men and beautiful women to pull it off. Look at how Anthony's face is contorted, hahaha]

[Wait a minute, have you noticed that every group has people from the class of Class of 26 and Class of 24? No group consists of only one class.]

[I want to see Su Bao! Where is my big treasure? Why doesn't he appear?]

Qin Su: "..."

As expected of the protagonist, he's becoming more and more composed.

Unlike him, who relies entirely on pretense.

Two seconds after the light appeared, those who looked up to follow the light realized that Qin Su might still be watching them, in addition to their classmates. They steadied themselves and stopped moving, waiting anxiously.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one else could see him, Qin Su quickly scanned the expressions on the faces of the two groups before finally speaking, "Please have each member of Team 1 Group 1 step forward thirty paces."

Upon hearing Qin Su's voice, both groups of people were thinking about what would happen if they strayed off course without any light, but their steps did not falter for a moment as they moved forward.

As the two groups moved around, Qin Su controlled the beam of light above to follow their movements. Meanwhile, he quietly shifted his position while everyone's attention was focused on them due to the light source, to avoid being sandwiched between the two groups later.

He Muzhi stood in the first row of Team 1, Group 1, silently counting his steps. The moment he stopped, it was clear that the beam of light that had only been shining on them suddenly expanded its range, instantly enveloping his group and the members of Team 2, Group 1 opposite them.

Qin Su's figure was still nowhere to be seen.

Above them were the familiar Barrier Device.

Seeing that the barrier equipment had not yet been turned on, they were separated into two teams (Class 6) within an arc-shaped area marked by the beam of light. Everyone took a deep breath.

'This situation, it seems, is about to begin, making the storm that Qin Su has personally created for them even more intense... no, a bit more!'

Qin Su's voice rang out at this moment. "Don't be nervous, relax. The specific training details are not much different from this morning. It's still five minutes to look at the questions, and five minutes for each person to simulate commanding. Each group will start from left to right the moment the questions disappear."

As Qin Su finished speaking, a question appeared below the Barrier Device.

Qin Su deliberately set the questions to be almost identical to the set of questions Zhou Qian had used that morning.

The people in the darkness. "?"

"That's it? But why do all the Class 6 look like they're ready to die? I'm feeling uneasy."

"Don't overthink it. They all said it's a reward. The rumors are definitely exaggerated and contain a bit of exaggeration. Relax."

"Alright, if that's what you say, Class Monitor, I believe you."

He Muzhi felt a chill for a moment when he saw the question, but he instinctively felt that things were not so simple.

Knowing he was on the left, meaning he'd be the first one, He Muzhi quickly adjusted his strategy based on his morning plan after a brief moment of surprise.

Almost as soon as he finished adjusting, Qin Su's voice rang out. "Begin."

As Qin Su's voice faded, the Barrier Device activated, and the environment surrounding it underwent a dramatic transformation in an instant.

Qin Su also deliberately pulled the trigger of his weapon in the darkness, making a noticeable noise.

Everyone: "?"

Did they just hallucinate?
