Chapter 157
"Principal, are you alright?"
Aiseboer's sudden self-rescue stunned everyone present.
The meeting was going well, so why did he suddenly start self-harming?
Aiseboer pursed his lips speechlessly. "Two eggs hanging under your eyebrows, you just treat them as decorations and don't know how to look at them? Do I look like I'm still alive?"
After being rebuked, the attendees smiled awkwardly, keeping their smiles to themselves and not daring to utter another word. In their hearts, they thought that Aiseboer had been really short-tempered lately, probably because he hadn't had any loofah soup.
Zhang Minglang, who keeps a close eye on the movements of Class 6) at all times, also saw the post from Class 6) on the Forum and completely understood Aiseboer's reaction just now.
Based on the time it took to travel from the Fourth Military Academy to the Jump Point 3219 on the Erato Planet, it can be determined that Class 6) led by Qin Su launched a reckless bombing campaign against the people of the First Military Academy almost immediately after leaving the Jump Channel.
There was absolutely no chance for Aiseboer to recover.
Ordinary students from the Fourth Military Academy can only act as punching bags when facing students from the First Military Academy. But if Qin Su faces students from the First Military Academy... the punching bag might very well turn into Aiseboer.
Zhang Minglang: "..."
'You know what, it's actually quite balanced.'
After thinking to himself, Zhang Minglang noticed that the others present didn't seem to be as obsessively focused on Class 6) as he and Aiseboer, and didn't seem to know what had happened. So, Zhang Minglang silently sent the video he had saved on the Forum to the others present.
After a brief moment of suffocation, Aiseboer was communicating with his Secretary on his personal Optical Brain.
[Aiseboer: Where has the video spread? What's happening on the First Military Academy Forum?]
Military Academies have surveillance personnel for each other, and the Forum's lenient rules make it easy for schools to learn about students' movements, thus placing them within the scope of surveillance.
Not long after, the Secretary, after confirming the information, cautiously replied:
[It has already spread to the third, the...]
The person who answered mentioned several Military Academies and compiled and sorted the most popular videos and pictures from each Military Academy before sending them to Aiseboer.
Aiseboer quickly glanced through it: [Stop.]
The Secretary waited quietly for instructions.
Aiseboer rubbed his chin. "The reach isn't wide enough, and the focus isn't clear enough..."
Judging from the videos and pictures circulating now, the focus is clearly on Qin Su blowing up the other party's Spaceship without warning.
"It makes it sound like Qin Su is some kind of tyrannical and cruel person..."
While everyone was still confused by Aiseboer's clearly dissatisfied tone, they received a video and pictures from Aiseboer.
"..."
Isn't that so?
Did the Principal take the wrong medication? Or did he simply forget to take his medicine today?
Aiseboer tapped his fingers heavily on the table twice. "What are you looking at me for? Look at what I sent you!"
"Since you're already here, don't just sit around. Hurry up and edit this on the spot. Focus the camera on the First Military Academy, take a screenshot of them evenly occupying the Jump Point Platforms, enlarge it, and then come up with some headlines like 'The First Military Academy is unreasonable and bullies the Fourth Military Academy'. Use your respective channels and resources to promote it on various social media platforms on the StarNet!"
Before the First Military Academy tries to cover it up, they should spread the word until everyone knows about it.
Since it concerns Qin Su, Qin Su naturally attracts attention, he doesn't believe it can't be promoted.
' Qin Su will manage Class 6), but he might not manage the Principal. He has to save himself. If something happens to him, everyone will know that the First Military Academy started the trouble but can't afford to play along. If they can't target Qin Su, they'll target the innocent, pitiful, weak, and helpless Principal!'
"Let me tell you, we are now in the same boat. On the surface, this is just Qin Su targeting First Military Academy Class 6. But if we think about it more deeply, isn't this Qin Su directly expressing his dissatisfaction with the First Military Academy? Or even declaring war?"
"In short, Qin Su has already formed a group. If you don't join now, and the Fourth Military Academy is annihilated by the First Military Academy, you'll be nothing!"
Some people who didn't want to offend the First Military Academy, but also didn't want to offend Qin Su and intended to remain neutral, weighed their options after hearing this, and then obediently chose Qin Su.
Qin Su has a bright future; it's only a matter of time before he reaches that position. If Qin Su achieves enlightenment, the Fourth Military Academy will rise to prominence along with him. What is the First Military Academy compared to that?
"Let's do it!"
"Don't worry, Principal, don't you trust me? I'll guarantee you'll join the tour."
"It's time to let the First Military Academy know that the Fourth Military Academy is no coward."
"... Hmm." Aiseboer responded with a reserved "hmm."
Everyone used Qin Su's name to fool him with a few words, and he's already been completely fooled. He wants to get off the ship? Dream on.
"By the way," Aiseboer said, seizing the opportunity to slip in his own comment, "Could you please ask everyone why, for the same departure time, the First Military Academy, which is farther from the Jump Point 3219 on the Erato Planet, can arrive earlier than the Fourth Military Academy? This is truly baffling."
Everyone: "..."
'You even have to ask this? It's hard to guess what the Principal is trying to say—that the Fourth Military Academy received secondhand information, and the First Military Academy was the source, and they're deliberately colluding against the Fourth Military Academy without following the rules.'
Aiseboer relayed the same order to his Secretary quickly made the arrangements.
Qin Su:?
When did I start the group buy? How come I didn't even know?
[God's father is weak, the Principal will take it personally]
[I think the Principal is just... cough cough (not really)]
[Hilarious! The Principal's life is either about scamming others or getting scammed himself.]
In less than ten minutes, the videos and pictures were no longer limited to the internal Forums of various military academies.
Every video and every picture shows that the First Military Academy provoked first, and Qin Su, representing the Fourth Military Academy, was merely responding in a justified manner.
The video was filmed by the Fourth Military Academy Class 6), and the camera was pointed at the First Military Academy. The viewers could not see the expressions of the people from the Fourth Military Academy, but could only see the chaotic and disheveled appearance of the First Military Academy Class 6).
During this period, almost every widely circulated spliced image featured Qin Su in the center position, which was taken by members of the Fourth Military Academy Class 6 or from behind, to the side, or diagonally to the side of Qin Su.
To increase the number of video recordings, each video begins with Qin Su 'Qin Su back view and a large Fleets Spaceships entering the sky opposite him.
The Fourth Military Academy's "clever" actions, aside from admiring the students, have resulted in condemnation and ridicule of the First Military Academy.
[The First Military Academy probably didn't expect Qin Su to show them no respect at all, or perhaps they didn't realize how important Fourth Military Academy Class 6 was to Qin Su?]
[Never mind, the Second Military Academy sent a congratulatory telegram.]
[After checking your profile, you brat, you're clearly from the Third Military Academy, deliberately trying to stir up trouble for us Second Military Academy?]
[I love Qin Su's cool and collected attitude of flipping the table at the drop of a hat (heart) He's so handsome!]
[It's a joy to witness the First Military Academy's disastrous performance in my lifetime, hahaha!]
[@First Military Academy, is this all you guys have? I support fighting back (doge)]
[Wasn't it supposed to be that all information regarding the Purge operation would be released to all Military Academies simultaneously and fairly? Why did the First Military Academy arrive so early? Did they secretly become the rule-makers behind the backs of the other Military Academies? Or was it a behind-the-scenes operation? I suggest a thorough investigation.]
[What a load of rubbish! Anyone who knows knows. The Zerg, which had been rampant for years, was dealt with to this extent in just over a year after Qin Su appeared. It's hard to guess.]
[@First Military Academy, is it that you don't want to rebel against Qin Su? Or are you too afraid? (hehe) It's hard to guess. It's true that the wicked will always be punished by the wicked.]
[Qin Su, representing the Fourth Military Academy, launched a challenge against the First Military Academy, and the exciting moment has begun! I declare that from this moment on, the Zerg-Clearing Military Academies will undergo a major reshuffle, and from now on, the Fourth Military Academy is the Uncrowned King! @First Military Academy, if you disagree, go and fight the Fourth Military Academy (doge)]
[Exceptional at stirring up trouble]
[Many of these people have private Social Media Accounts, so why do they look different from the photos they post?]
[Are you kidding me? Be careful they might come through the internet cable later.]
[Fearless, because they've already mentioned that Military Academy students can't have Social Media Accounts that get followed before they graduate (laughing and crying)]
[I actually hope that all Military Academy students can have Social Media Accounts that can be followed, because I want to follow Boss Su! I'm really afraid that one day Boss Su will leave and disappear, and there won't be any connection with him at all (crying)]
[Actually, I suspect that Qin Su was reborn with some kind of mission. According to the plot, after Qin Su uses his ruthless methods to eliminate these corrupt elements, he will quickly die with his mission accomplished, leaving the world to remember him and making him the White Moonlight of the entire world!]
[Have rebirth novels become popular here in Qin Su? Are novels about legitimate and illegitimate children no longer popular?]
[Huh? Why were my comments and blog posts deleted? Is the First Military Academy starting to exert its influence subtly?]
[Hehe, no one forced me, I voluntarily became Qin Su's mercenary! Let's see if you can delete it faster or I can post it faster.]
[Another mercenary from Qin Su has arrived uninvited!]

At the 3219 Jump Point Platform on Erato Planet, Qin Su was reviewing the videos and images of the cleared area. He noticed a sudden surge in Life Points and became suspicious.
'Could it be that he underestimated the level of resentment other Military Academy students had towards the First Military Academy?'
Qin Su temporarily shifted his attention away from the Cleansing Plan to enjoy his own drama.
Within two minutes, after quickly browsing the hot topics on the Forum and StarNet, and seeing the video and picture explanations that clearly favored him, Qin Su suddenly realized.
The traces were too obvious; it was clear that the Fourth Military Academy had secretly exerted its influence.
Although he often stubbornly denies his actions and uses beautiful 'packaging' to beautify his behavior, Qin Su is very clear about what he has done before, and he is not so narcissistic as to think that Aiseboer's actions are because he is 'impressed' by him.
Aiseboer clearly wanted to escalate the matter and make it public so that he, as the Principal, wouldn't be easily dismissed.
The surprise came unexpectedly. Judging by actions rather than intentions, Qin Su's already high regard for Aiseboer, which he had benefited from so much, increased even further. "No wonder he's an angel investor."
Now it has 'evolved' to the point where it directly 'provides' him with Life Points.
After thinking for a moment, Qin Su secretly modified the data of the Deep Learning Robot in the StarNet backend.
He'd do anything to increase his Life Points.
--
Upon detecting that the situation was becoming serious, the First Military Academy immediately took measures.
Blog posts and comments that were blocked or deleted one second ago can be re-released after being approved by the shrewd moderators.
The speed of the incident made the First Military Academy realize they had been set up.
--
As far as the eyes of the students in First Military Academy Class 6 were concerned, the sky and the ground of the platform were covered with Spaceships. In front of them were 34 Spaceship wrecks piled up like a mountain, making their already 'poor' foothold even more crowded after Qin Su arrived.
"How long are we going to stand here?" someone couldn't help but ask Onion in a low voice.
They stood there for more than half an hour, watching helplessly as the Fourth Military Academy Class 6 piled all the trash in front of them and repeatedly mocked them with their bare hands. Even now, the entire Fourth Military Academy Class 6 has entered the Spaceship, and the Spaceship Fleets above, which is in a state of constant attack, shows no sign of shutting down its attack mode.
Onion: "... Shut up."
He sent messages to He Muzhi, Sophia, Sheng Shuang, Raymond, and others he had known since childhood, and who had also exchanged contact information with him through family business, asking Qin Su when he would reply. Without exception, he received not even a single reply.
He wasn't sure if Qin Su had let them go.
Based on everything he had experienced not long ago, Qin Su seemed completely unsuitable to be someone who followed school rules.
Little did he know... Wait a minute, Onion seemed to remember something, opened the Full-Band Communication, and directly called out several people's names.
"Kangnafu... all ten of you turn around and go back to Spaceship Number 628."
If these ten people weren't killed when they moved, it proves that Qin Su thought Raymond and his gang had provoked them enough.
Upon hearing this, the students of First Military Academy Class 6 all understood what Onion was planning, and looked at Kangnafu and the others with different expressions.
There was sympathy, excitement, and schadenfreude... but no one pleaded for them.
Kangnafu and his friends, who were positioned at the front of the classroom and were meant to act as human shields in case of an accident, turned pale when their names were called.
Their lips moved, and after a low "yes," they resignedly stiffened and turned to head towards the Spaceship designated by Onion, beneath rows of dark cannon muzzles.
Every step they took with their backs to the cannon barrel was incredibly difficult; their hair stood on end, and they were terrified that the cannon behind them would suddenly fire a shell and blast them to pieces.
[If I remember correctly, Kangnafu saved three people not long ago, didn't they all plead for them? I was wrong, I shouldn't have criticized the Class of 24 Command Class of the Fourth Military Academy, they're too green compared to the First Military Academy.]
Is there a difference? Minor mischief and major mischief are both bad. Their minor mischief is just because they don't have the power and influence of the people from the First Military Academy. If they were in the same position, their wickedness would be no different.
What should have been a five-minute walk felt like an eternity to Kangnafu and his group. They finally made it into the open cabin, only to hear Onion's cold command the next second.
"Return."
'Nothing happened; Qin Su should have calmed down by now.'
'It's been confirmed. After provoking them, Class 6) returned to their Spaceship and ignored them, conveying the message that they wouldn't be targeted for the time being.'
"..."
The ten men, including Kangnafu, looked at each other, but ultimately said nothing, forcing themselves to expose themselves to danger once again.
'No one helps them who are stuck in the mud, and they can't climb out themselves.'
Onion's heart eased slightly. He gave orders to Kangnafu and the others, then ignored them, figuring they wouldn't dare disobey even if they had ten times the courage. He then began assigning tasks to the students around him. "Du Lin..."
In less than three minutes, when Kangnafu and the others ran back to their ranks, the class of over four hundred people had already formed a completely new formation.
Onion naturally stood at the back of the Fleets facing Qin Su, who was eyeing them menacingly, surrounded by his classmates on all sides.
From childhood, Onion had been accustomed to ranking everyone he could talk to face-to-face. No one knew better than him the order in which people would be abandoned when faced with danger.
For men like Kangnafu to die for them is an honor for their families and for themselves.
With everything prepared, Onion gave the order, and the more than four hundred men cautiously retreated step by step, facing the Fourth Military Academy Class 6...
[A comical yet disgusting scene]
[That's why we say our Baby 1 is so rare. When danger comes, she always protects everyone behind her. Onion's Pheromones are even SSS-Rank, yet she treats herself like a baby. She's so fragile, why is she even here fighting insects? She's not even going to act anymore, she should just go home and be a little prince, Garlic Bird. It's laughable.]
[If they don't go out and make a name for themselves, how can they smoothly arrange for them to get a position they've already scouted out and planned for?]
Qin Su: "..."
He really told a huge lie; it was all just a persona he cultivated in his early days to survive by any means necessary.
If it weren't for these specific circumstances... at his age, running away would be the fastest thing to do.
His feat of encountering a Crocodile Group alone in the Tropical Rainforest and turning to run away in a blur is documented.
If his parents and instructors were still around... he and his sister would have nowhere to escape. They would team up and deliver danger to them like a SF Express delivery, making life dull and meaningless, worse than being beaten by one's own children every three days and every five days.
Every time he and his sister returned to normal school life, they were overjoyed to leave their parents, even though it wasn't raining outside.
Having been deeply affected by the memories of his death, Qin Su silently shifted his gaze away from the scene of the First Military Academy Class 6 evacuating and sent an emoji to the group chat that his father had changed to 'Happy Family'.
[Qin Su: (Hong Wen)]
[Mother:?]
[Dad:?]
[Elder sister:?]
--
With trepidation, Onion and the others returned to the Spaceship's cabin, each quickly going to their own Rest Pods to change from their comfortable clothes into Combat Suit.
After putting their Combat Suit back on, Onion had everyone come out of their respective Rest Pods and gather together.
Qin Su's style of doing things leaves no room for leniency for the First Military Academy. He's afraid that if they're out in private, they might get killed without even knowing it. If they're all gathered together, they'll be the ones who die the slowest.
No one was in the mood to rest anymore; those sitting on the outside of the crowd faced away from O'Neal and the others in a defensive posture.
Someone in the middle suggested to Onion, "Can we skip the Purge mission?"
"I don't know," Onion said with a sour face. "You'll have to ask Qin Su."
Who knows, Qin Su might need them to act as human shields in case of danger.
This was not something they could refuse. He really believed those damned rumors on the StarNet and thought that Qin Su... kind and great, which is why he dared to take the risk of targeting the other people in Class 6).
He specifically asked his dad to set a distance of 500 meters or something... he was just asking for trouble.
--
At 1:58 PM, Qin Su emerged from the Rest Pod.
Upon seeing Qin Su, the students of Fourth Military Academy Class 6 spontaneously approached Qin Su and stopped at a certain Qin Su.
While everyone was still gradually approaching him, Qin Su seized the opportunity and coldly ordered, "Tell the people of First Military Academy Class 6 that it's time to start the mission."
(Class 6: "!"
Tsk, the tone of that command clearly shows they don't take the First Military Academy seriously.
But... who's going if the Class Monitor didn't call on anyone?
I understand now; it means they're seeing who can seize this opportunity to shine.
It was almost 2 p. m., and the people from the First Military Academy hadn't made a sound; they clearly didn't want to come out.
That won't do.
We can't let go of such a great opportunity for Class 6) to 'demystify' the First Military Academy.
He hadn't forgotten how his classmates had reacted like mice before a cat when they first saw the First Military Academy at the hatch.
Qin Su was very curious; if he hadn't specifically asked who would call him, who would volunteer...?
Thinking of this, and seeing his classmates exchange glances, their eyes resolute as they strode forward, pushing and shoving each other, jostling and jostling as they raced towards the cabin where the First Military Academy was located, Qin Su thought to himself, "..."
Good grief, he was the only one left behind.
I understand now. Even when facing Zerg, not the Zerg, the students get so fierce and forget all their fear once they start arguing.
More importantly...
Qin Su stared at the weapons his classmates automatically raised as they approached the First Military Academy's Spaceship without anyone reminding them, and once again thought to himself that they were all kindred spirits.
Why are you pulling me? You scheming dog!
"Let go, I have to be the first!"
"Hehe, did you ask me?"
"Hey, don't you know anything about respecting elders and caring for the young? I'm three years younger than you, you know that?"
In order to complete Qin Su's task as soon as possible, the students of Class 6) put aside their friendship and refused to give way to each other.
Onion was uneasy. After returning to his cabin, he used his privileges to observe the movements of the Fourth Military Academy across the Spaceship at any time.
When Onion saw Qin Su emerge and stand expressionlessly staring at their Spaceship, his heart leaped into his throat.
Immediately afterwards, he saw Qin Su's mouth move, but he was too far away to hear what Qin Su was saying on the video.
Onion only saw Qin Su's coldly pursed lips move slightly, and then the group of people from the Fourth Military Academy Class 6 seemed to be injected with chicken blood, and they came over excitedly in their direction.
As they drew closer, hands fell to their sides, and one by one they picked up their weapons.
The mission must be completed, but they dare not forget the dangers of the First Military Academy. They must be cautious. The Class Monitor is too powerful. The First Military Academy is nothing to him, but it is a 'mountain' that requires courage to overcome for them.
"?!"
The students of First Military Academy Class 6 looked at the picture and tried to guess its meaning, their eyes showing obvious horror.
"Is Qin Su telling them that if we don't disembark from the Spaceship, he'll kill us?"
