Chapter 170
Given that he is currently at an age where he is most concerned about his image, Qin Su unilaterally declined the request from Xuan Jingcheng's fans.
After a few days, the interface that unfolded at the edge of the Optical Brain also issued a notification that the 'drawing' was successful.
Qin Su's gaze naturally shifted from the bullet screen area. He closed the 'medical records' and 'medical books' he had tailored for each family on every planet under the Federation's jurisdiction, and brought the Orthodox Fourth Military Academy scene page to his eyes. Centering on his own aerial dormitory, he used the virtual reality mode to immerse himself in the experience, expanding his understanding of the Fourth Military Academy gradually outwards from the dormitory...
After this matter was concluded, according to the plan, he also needed to compile a list of outstanding students from each class of the Fourth Military Academy Class of 26.
--
As a transfer student, and given that the First Military Academy, which was specifically targeted by the Zerg, was being deliberately suppressed by Qin Su, Xuan Jingcheng was assigned to a remote and impoverished planet. He was furious, but not surprised. He only suspected that the person who took his money was deliberately trying to cheat him, and he never suspected Qin Su at all.
After all, countless other freshmen from the Class of 27 were also assigned to this planet along with him.
From the moment he appeared, Qin Su never paid any attention to him, except when he was annoyed and took the initiative to pick a fight with Qin Su. As long as he didn't act like a jerk and go in front of Qin Su never took him seriously.
How could they possibly be targeting him specifically?
Besides, that old man is truly dead this time. In this world, no one except himself knows that he is He Wenyuan.
Rather than believing that Qin Su was behind it, it's better to direct suspicion towards Xuan Jingxi.
That damned Omega, in order to kill him, would initiate a destruction process on the confined space he was in, while he was being taken away without his knowledge—essentially being 'imprisoned'—leaving him no chance of survival and disregarding any blood ties or family affection.
Xuan Jingcheng's dissatisfaction was interrupted by a strong dizzying sensation. The Optical Brain that had been forcibly taken from the real Xuan Jingcheng had been implanted into his brain these past few days, and Xuan Jingcheng often felt the pain that came from the initial stage of discomfort after the implantation.
As a marginal figure in a collateral branch of the Xuan Family, Xuan Jingcheng was naturally assigned a low-level Optical Brain, Xuan Jingcheng was dissatisfied with. However, for the sake of his Xuan Jingcheng ID, he had no choice but to use it and force himself to adapt.
The money he had previously saved in other people's names, which he had intended to use to bribe the people who were allocating the quotas so he could get closer to He Muzhi, was all for naught. Now he didn't even have money left to buy extra painkillers.
The comments section confirmed Xuan Jingcheng's guess; they even went so far as to suspect Raymond and included Qin Su on their list of suspects.
Three days later, filled with intense resentment, Xuan Jingcheng, along with the students of the Class of 27 graduating class of the original Zerg First Military Academy, was assigned to a distant planet.
Stepping off the Spaceship, Xuan Jingcheng's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot upon seeing the dilapidated facilities of the Military Academy, which resembled a 'primitive tribe'.
Because Leichakan Planet is far behind other planets in every aspect, the vast majority of students at the 299th Military Academy are from this planet. For the first time since its establishment, the academy has welcomed a larger batch of new students than ever before. Everyone couldn't stop smiling and warmly welcomed the new students, ignoring the unpleasant looks on most of the newcomers' faces.
Regardless of the reason for their assignment, they're already here. Due to the proximity of Leichakan to the Imperial System Planet, wars are frequent. Apart from the children of the most elite families on Lechakan being sent to other planets to seek better opportunities, there's a 90% chance that Military Academy will be assigned to Leichakan.
This means that these students from other planets will likely have to stay in Leichakan for the rest of their lives.
Whether they are to become part of the fight against neighboring imperial planets or to become builders of Leichakan, they are very welcome.

When the rest period for the Former Zerg Fourth Military Academy Fourth Military Academy had moved here ended, except for Class 6 of the Class of 26, the Fourth Military Academy Former Zerg Fourth Military Academy assigned all the students from the other cohorts and classes to the corresponding classes based on their past performance, personal wishes, financial ability, etc.
The original Class 6 of the Class of 26 cohort of the Fourth Military Academy was moved to Class 7 of the Class of 26 Sequential Placement the Principal.
Regardless of which Fourth Military Academy it was, some people agreed with this decision because "after all, it's Qin Su," while others were dissatisfied because of the special treatment.
Zhang Minglang, as the Class Advisor of Qin Su's Class 6), was not replaced and continued to serve as the Class Advisor at the new Fourth Military Academy.
This brand new Monday marks the first day of class for the Former Zerg Fourth Military Academy students at the current Fourth Military Academy.
After making inquiries with Zhang Minglang, almost everyone in the Fourth Military Academy knew that today was the day Qin Su's leave was ending.
In other words, Qin Su, who has been missing for more than two months, will reappear before the world.
Regardless of their major, the Class Advisors at the Fourth Military Academy spontaneously and tacitly gave everyone a morning off.
Not knowing when or where Qin Su would appear, the crowd, who knew nothing about Qin Su, naturally focused their attention on all the students of Class 6 of 26 Zhang Minglang.
Wherever they went, they were constantly being watched.
The news will spread quickly once Qin Su appears.
That's right...
Are all the students in Class 6 of the Class of 26 cohort shameless? In this new environment, how can they conduct well-trained morning exercises in front of them without batting an eye or blushing?
Early morning training at 7 a. m. is commonplace for them, but they would never dare to train together in groups in a new environment.
It's such an eye-catching bag.
"No, with so many of us watching, don't they feel ashamed?"
I don't know if they felt awkward, but I had this urge to feel awkward for them.
"If it weren't for Class 6) deliberately provoking and showing off to us, I would have been bitten by a mimic on live stream!"
"Why are you eating and taking things away? You think you're so clever."
"Mi means get lost."
The Viewers couldn't help but point fingers at the "selfish" behavior of Class of 26 (Class 6).
The students of Class of 26 Class 6, who were conducting their normal morning training, could clearly see that in just ten minutes, a huge crowd surrounded them on the track, while the students of the Fourth Military Academy, who were looking at them with disdain, displeasure or unclear meaning, were looking bewildered as they chatted with the people next to them.
What are they doing?
"Does this Fourth Military Academy have a rule against early morning training, He Muzhi?"
When asked, He Muzhi kept walking and took a moment to deny it. "They start training at seven in the morning."
The training intensity is higher than that of the Zerg.
"So... we're monkeys?"
"Be confident. We're no different from monkeys now; we're all being watched."
"Besides just watching, the way they looked at us was like they wanted to devour us."
"Put yourself in their shoes. Imagine you're receiving special treatment in this unfamiliar place because of Qin Su. Could you resist feeling envious, jealous, and resentful?"
"Damn, the immersion is so strong, it broke my defenses immediately."
"Aren't we stars too?" Raymond said, head held high. "If I had known, I would have styled my hair today."
"Come on, don't be so narcissistic." Sophia ruthlessly shattered Raymond's dream. "They're only watching us because they're waiting for the Class Monitor to show up. Just you wait, once the Class Monitor appears, they won't even give us a second glance."
"We're the Class Monitor's accessories; they have to keep an eye on us even if they don't want to..."
Raymond was interrupted by a familiar voice from inside the track before he could finish speaking.
"Good morning."
Having anticipated that Class 6 would be watched, Qin Su, who didn't want to walk to his destination with his body tense like a monkey under countless eyes, chose a spot in the selected venue, connected to the broadcast in the morning training venue of Class 6, and secretly scanned the crowd of onlookers around Class 6. He saw many familiar faces on the list and then spoke from afar.
As soon as the three words were uttered, Qin Su clearly saw through his Electronic Eyes that everyone's gaze instantly shifted from Class 6) and turned to look at the source of the sound.
In this situation, Qin Su secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as he expected, after countless videos were released, everyone became quite familiar with his voice.
The Fourth Military Academy already had a large number of people, and with the addition of more Fourth Military Academy members, the crowd density reached an unprecedented level that Qin Su had never faced before.
Even the most imposing person can easily be overlooked when there is a large, disorderly crowd of onlookers.
If he were to appear in person and be swallowed up by the bustling crowd, and no one notices him, it would be a 'disillusionment' with the persona he has been marketed to in front of the original Comic World fans and the Viewers the live stream.
It's not as effective as the collective attention generated by "hearing someone's voice before seeing them".
No matter how large the crowd was, he could easily draw everyone's attention to himself by using the familiarity of his voice.
"!"
'Qin Su's voice!'
Everyone had long forgotten what they were talking about. The moment they heard that familiar voice, their eyes instinctively turned toward the source of the sound, quickly and neatly focusing on the broadcast positions around the training ground.
Almost as soon as I looked over, before I could even think of anything, that familiar, low, and cold voice rang in my ears again.
"Dear students of the Fourth Military Academy Class of 26, if you are interested in joining Class 6 of the Class of 26 class, please proceed to 66F Zone before 8:00 AM."
"Qin Su, the Class Monitor of Class of 26 Class 6, looks forward to your arrival."
"Goodbye."
Qin Su finished speaking in a calm and unhurried tone, giving everyone no time to react. He briefly finished his explanation and immediately shut down the connection to the broadcast, but his eyes remained fixed on the live feed transmitted by the Electronic Eye.
"!! Qin Su, it's Qin Su's voice! I listen to this voice every night as a sleep aid, I absolutely can't be mistaken!"
"Was there something wrong with my ears just now?"
"What does Qin Su mean? There's too much information; my brain isn't quite processing it."
"Ouch, that hurts! It's not a hallucination!"
"Does Qin and Qin Su mean that Class 6 of the Class of 26 cohort is going to admit students?"
"Aaaaah, you son of a bitch, you doubt your own ears? You slap yourself? You pinch me? What kind of person are you?"
"Who the hell kicked me?"
"The opportunity came so suddenly, I was completely stunned!"
"No, why the Class of 26? Don't the other classes deserve it?"
Is it too late for me to voluntarily downgrade?
"Make way, all of you! Didn't you hear Qin Su? Let the Class of Class of 26 go first. Qin Su is waiting for us!"
"Get lost! So what if it's the Class of 26? Let the Class of 25 go and grab a spot first."
"Heh, you wish! We don't even have a chance. If you want to get there, you'll have to step on him first... My goodness, you actually want to step on him?!"
In just five seconds, after Qin Su finished speaking, the 499 People who were originally receiving attention from all directions in Class 6 of the Class of 26 cohort instantly lost all attention.
The surrounding area was in chaos because of Qin Su's few words. No one looked at them anymore. They were either busy confirming whether they were dreaming or resenting that they were not students of the Class of 26.
Then, in perfect unison, they surged toward the Training Ground that Qin Su had mentioned.
Before long, only the students of Class 6 remained, stunned and speechless.
This news was like a bolt from the blue for them, catching them completely off guard.
They stopped running, their training forgotten for the moment, their eyes glazed over, staring incredulously in the direction where everyone had disappeared.
Suddenly, someone started talking, breaking the suffocating silence.
"Class Monitor... are you going to select new people for Class 6? Or... form a new Class 6?"
"Anything is possible. After all, the Class Monitor mentioned the Class of 26, but didn't say where we'd be going."
"... Did we fail to satisfy the Class Monitor during this holiday?"
"It should be. Last holiday, we all went to the Funeral Home for training as ordered by our Class Monitor. This holiday, the Class Monitor didn't say anything, and we all went home and had fun, which is equivalent to not doing anything. Maybe the Class Monitor thinks we've been slacking off."
"Oh no, so the reason the Class Monitor didn't make any demands on us this holiday was to see how we performed? We failed to understand the Class Monitor's intentions, which is why we've been eliminated?"
"No, no..."
None of the speculations that kept creeping into his ears were good, and Raymond, feeling utterly dejected, concluded, "So... we've been collectively sidelined by the Class Monitor?"
Sophia didn't know the answer to that question, but from Raymond's reply, she could tell that Raymond had definitely been reading court novels lately.
Jeffrey said in a low voice, "That's good, it means there's still a possibility of him being reinstated. I'm just afraid he'll be dragged out and flogged to death in the Imperial Prison, and then be completely 'killed'."
Raymond was alarmed and turned to He Muzhi, who had remained silent until now. "He Muzhi, say something! You're our class's only hope!"
Sophia: "..."
Great, confirmed. Jeffrey and Raymond are true childhood friends; they must have spent the holiday reading the same period novel. They even speak with the same accent.
He Muzhi: "..."
Although he was worried, he was still bewildered by all the nonsense everyone was saying.
[They don't really want new people to join, and they want Class 6) to monopolize Qin Su.]
[ (Class 6 too?]
[Huh? Class 6) is recruiting new members? If that's the case... why can only people from the Comic World be admitted to Class 6)? Are we Earthlings from the Real World not qualified? What exactly makes them, these Interstellar People Earthlings? I'm not convinced Qin Su]
[I ordered it, so why can they do it, but we Earthlings can't?]
[Although it's immoral... God's father's banishment and subsequent return to favor, is this how the phrase is used?]
Two more have gone mad.
[No, no, no, the crazy ones are clearly from the same class]
[Hilarious, that's why they're childhood friends!]
[I don't understand, something sounds off about that.]
He Muzhi responded:???
(Class 6 looked expectantly at He Muzhi, following Raymond's words.
He Muzhi suppressed the urge to twitch at the corner of his mouth. Although he was also uneasy and confused about Qin Su's decision, in order to appear mature and composed in front of his classmates, he said seriously, "I think the most important thing for us right now is to go and see what's going on. Thinking about it too much now will not help."
They were in the same class group as Qin Su, and some of them had Qin Su's personal Optical Brain friends. They didn't dare to ask Qin Su, so this was the only thing they could do.
"Walk!"
"Why are you running? Run!"
"Hurry up, you dead leg!"
The group, who had been in a collective state of unease, suddenly sprang into action, heading quickly toward the location Qin Su had indicated.
Qin Su, who had been eavesdropping the entire time, silently breathed a sigh of relief, "..."
How come he didn't know when he stopped wanting them?
Even now, Qin Su still doesn't quite understand the peculiar thought processes of the students in Class 6).
Considering both his personal interests and He Muzhi's future interests, how could he bear to give up Class 6, which he had obtained unintentionally?
But...
Their state of being 'hungry for gains and losses' was highly advantageous to them, and out of personal interest, Qin Su didn't bother to explain at all.
Although Qin Su 'notified' the Class of 26 graduating class, before eight o'clock, a huge crowd had already occupied 66F Zone.
Prior to this, Qin Su had already carefully selected the most suitable and obvious position for himself.
Being in an unmissable position, and with the added boost of everyone's 'herd mentality,' everyone who arrived at the scene at different times instinctively looked towards Qin Su's location the moment they arrived.
On the highest platform at the front of 66F Zone, Qin Su stood with his hands behind his back, his expression cold and aloof. He looked indifferently at the entrance, showing no emotion whatsoever in response to their arrival, as if they were all transparent to him, receiving no glances from Qin Su whatsoever.
The originally noisy crowd unconsciously lowered their voices the moment they entered 66F Zone, deliberately keeping their voices down as they looked at Qin Su and spoke in hushed tones.
Qin Su's indifference could not extinguish their enthusiasm.
"Qin Su, the legendary Qin Su!"
"Finally saw it! I'm so excited, my heart is pounding! Of course, not because of Qin Su's eyes, no, no, no, his mouth... Oh well, I'm not going to struggle anymore. I'm totally smitten by Qin Su's looks!"
"Such an authoritative aura; seeing is believing."
"So this is Qin Su. He's just like us, with two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. He doesn't have three heads and six arms. What's so special about him? Why are you all so excited?"
"... You probably pee in your dorm even though there's no mirror, right? Why don't you look in the mirror? You're even more perfect than Qin Su, with your long, slender, well-defined, and powerful..."
"Hey, that's enough, okay?"
"In short, you're not even worth a single hair on Qin Su's head."
"6, they won't even let me touch them?"
"Are you being sarcastic because Qin Su didn't include the Class of 25 cohort in the selection process?"
"See that? Just like the rumors said, no matter when, to avoid his overly strong Pheromones affecting others, he always wears Alpha Pheromone Blocker Patch, even outside of his Heat Period."
"Putting everything else aside, I've seen plenty of Alphs who flaunt their peacock-like behavior; I just really appreciate the self-discipline and adherence to propriety that Qin Su embodies."
"Hehe, I understand. They can be very restrained when they want to be, but incredibly wild when they want to be."
"What are you talking about? Shouldn't you be more concerned about the selection criteria for Qin Su to enter Class 6)? What nonsense are you all thinking about?"
"That's right, now that we're in Class 6, we can think whatever we want about Qin Su every day."
"... What inappropriate language."
"So what? Anyway, we're far away. But, didn't you guys feel a chill after seeing Qin Su?"
"You just realized? You were obviously chilled by Qin Su's icy gaze."
"..."
Qin Su felt a chill run down his spine. He suppressed the urge to secretly tap the seaside villa with his toes, maintained a 'cold' expression with a numb face, and cosplayed as an emotionless sculpture. He secretly prayed that the students from Class 6 would arrive soon, so that they could at least 'attract' some 'firepower' for him.
Just as he had guessed, even though he was merged into the Orthodox Fourth Military Academy, he was still in charge of Class of 26 (Class 6). Since that was the case, now that he was on a broader 'platform', he took advantage of the Fourth Military Academy's current 'indulgence' on him and climbed up the ranks to expand the recruitment of (6) students, and took the opportunity to 'move' the students on his preferred list to his own nose.
Although such a special approach is destined to provoke resistance not only from the countless students who were originally scattered and joined other classes at the Zerg Fourth Military Academy, but also from the displeasure of the current students from other classes at the Fourth Military Academy, so what? He was originally an egoist who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
His appetite was gradually increased.
If he was somewhat sincere towards Class 6) when he first came into this world, he would probably be 'heartless' towards the students who were first listed and then allowed to join.
Just like when he was at the Fourth Military Academy of the Zerg, he was obsequious to Principal Aiseboer, but now, seeing the Principal's indulgence towards him at the Fourth Military Academy, he shamelessly takes advantage of the situation.
Even the temperature in 66F Zone, which appears to be 25 degrees Celsius, has actually been lowered by him by a small amount. He's shameless in his pursuit of achieving the "Cold Qi" effect in front of so many people.
As Qin Su waited for the arrival of Class 6 and until exactly 8:00, the current Fourth Military Academy Principal, upon hearing the news, looked at the calm-faced Aiseboer across from him and asked the crucial question, "Did Qin Su tell you about this?"
