Chapter 172
"Thirty seconds." Sophia timed it perfectly, looking at Huang Pu, "Your turn."
Huang Pu: "..."
It's actually quite fair.
But... what should he say? Sophia immediately launched a series of smooth moves at Qin Su (Class 6 as the center, trapping him completely and freezing him in place. For a moment, he was a little confused.
The room fell into a silence, as if choked by being force-fed candy, after Sophia's words.
Not to mention Huang Pu, who was under Sophia's 'ultimate move', those affected by the 'ultimate move' planned by Class 6) are now speechless.
My mind is filled with:
'No wonder Class 6 is so arrogant, relying on Qin Su's protection.'
'However, they can't bully the people in Class 6, but what about the others who were scattered and assigned to their class? Can't they bully them?'
[No, I don't really understand what's going on in this person's head. Why do they spend all their time thinking about bullying others?]
[Exclusionary tendencies, especially among Alphas, would make them unhappy to feel their territory being invaded by strangers. Moreover, it's understandable that the special nature of Class 6) would cause dissatisfaction among the 'natives.' They wouldn't dare offend Qin Su, so they could only bully the weak and target the other students from the Fourth Military Academy.]
[I find this kind of person disgusting. Can't we just get along with them? I'm speechless.]
[It's all Qin Su's fault. If it weren't for Qin Su, who would have paid attention to them?]
Even without Qin Su, they would still be "outsiders" and get bullied.
As time ticked by and Huang Pu remained silent, Sophia hissed, feeling sorry for his wasted time. "Huang Pu, why aren't you saying anything? Don't you have anything to say to us... oh no, did I say that?"
Huang Pu: "?"
It's all 'us' now! Sure enough! It must have all been planned in advance by Class 6!
Huang Pu took a deep breath and smiled, "Thank you so much, otherwise I would still be in the dark thinking I was special."
He genuinely couldn't think of any words to refute Sophia's words, and subconsciously accepted the fact that his dream had shattered.
The Countdown reached zero, and Huang Pu was truly afraid that Sophia would say something even more devastating on behalf of Class 6). Without hesitation, he adopted a PK stance. "Time's up, come on."
As the first person Qin Su chose to challenge, meaning the first to perform in front of him, Sophia, who appeared relaxed and talkative on the surface but was actually in a state of high alert from the moment she was chosen by Qin Su, readily agreed, "Okay."
The instant she landed, Sophia launched a swift and decisive attack on Huang Pu...
Aside from the fact that Qin Su was often isolated by the collective thought processes of Class 6) because his thought processes were too conventional and conservative, which was a tricky but helpless thing for him, the situation of Sophia's battle with Huang Pu was almost the same as he had predicted.
Sophia and Huang Pu are Alphas of the same level. According to the definition of Pheromones in this world, their initial physical foundations were at the same level.
Both sides received training at different Military Academies. Although the training period was one year, the Zerg Purge operation lasted between one and three months. However, at the Fourth Military Academy, which was targeting humans, the Class of 26 graduating class only received two final field training exercises during the entire year.
According to the data he found, there are far fewer wars in the Comic World he transmigrated to than before. However, because the world is governed by planets, the people on a planet generally share the same political stance. Different planets plunder each other without worrying about harming their own side, resulting in more wars in the Comic World compared to the Real World.
The targets of the Federation Army School's exercises are naturally planets with different political systems that are in conflict with the Federation.
In the two interplanetary wars experienced by the current Fourth Military Academy Class of 26 in the first two semesters, in the first war, they served as reserve soldiers, mixed among privates and sergeants, and faced the test of direct combat; in the second war, having had the experience of observation, they directly participated in the war as privates.
All in all, they have only ever truly participated in one real war.
In this respect, the other classes and grades of the Zerg Fourth Military Academy may lose to the current Fourth Military Academy, but (Class 6... After the Prisoner and Funeral Home incident, they should not be much worse than the students of the Fourth Military Academy Class of 26 class.
The Zerg Fourth Military Academy conducted more Purge operations, and the students in Class 6) were always able to persist in long-term training to varying degrees thanks to their unique thought processes.
(Class 6 is better than that of the other students in the Fourth Military Academy Class of 26.
His assessment, obtained through examining the daily training records and final exam results of top students from each class in the Class of 26 cohort, indirectly confirmed his judgment.
Huang Pu has a high Pheromone level and is an Alpha, but due to long-term suppression from his family, he has developed a weak personality and indirectly developed a submissive style in his actions.
Sophia, who excels at taking the initiative, makes decisions in a very short time and never regrets them, and has explosive power and a swift offensive, is no match for Huang Pu.
Less than thirty seconds into the duel between Sophia and Huang Pu subconsciously switched to a defensive stance in the face of Sophia's increasingly powerful attacks, and his initial offensive became a fleeting moment.
Fifty seconds passed, and through repeated subconscious defensive maneuvers, by the time Huang Pu realized he had been pushed out of the PK circle, it was too late.
Sophia emerged victorious, successfully eliminating Huang Pu, who wasn't on her shortlist. Qin Su didn't give Huang Pu much time to react, coldly announcing the next pair of opponents. "Raymond, Blumer, still one minute for the exchange. It starts in one minute. Get ready."
(Class 6 enrollment, based on the 'status' he marketed himself to, he only needed to issue the order as the person in charge of everything.
Getting involved personally would seem like overkill, making him appear less mysterious, which is something he absolutely cannot do at this time.
(Class 6) There are a total of 499 People in class. Within the three minutes he set earlier, a total of 739 people entered the 'preparation zone'. So, some people in Class 6) will need to participate in two PK rounds.
To be as fair as possible, Qin Su arranged for the students from Class 6) who needed to play two matches to be students from other classes of the Fourth Military Academy Class of 26 the Zerg Fourth Military Academy, who were on his list of students he was "letting them win".
After all, compared to the Orthodox Fourth Military Academy, he had already thoroughly understood them and had long ago considered recruiting them into Class 6) while the Zerg Fourth Military Academy still existed.
Moreover, although he hasn't appeared since the Zerg Fourth Military Academy Fourth Military Academy to its current location, he inevitably saw many scenes through the Fourth Military Academy's Electronic Eyes while crawling the actual terrain and construction plans of the Fourth Military Academy.
In a class, there are good and bad students. The Zerg Fourth Military Academy has strong students and weak students. Someone like Xuan Jingxi, whose Pheromones, strength, and methods are all outstanding in the Fourth Military Academy, will naturally not become a target of the current 'natives' of the Fourth Military Academy.
However, the other betas in the Fourth Military Academy, the Omega and Alphas with low Pheromone levels, are frequently harassed by the natives of the Fourth Military Academy.
Although that wasn't the case, to outsiders, he was inextricably linked to the Fourth Military Academy.
Moreover, some of the current Fourth Military Academy natives targeted the weaker members of the Zerg Fourth Military Academy due to the preferential treatment given to Class 6) by the current Fourth Military Academy.
Ultimately, he became part of the privacy that caused them to be oppressed.
Although he managed to stop the situation by using surrounding smart devices or by hacking into the other party's Optical Brain, he also knew that he only had one pair of eyes and couldn't keep an eye on things all the time, so it wasn't a long-term solution.
In order to avoid damaging his "persona" and to take responsibility for the trouble his classmates had caused him, he had to take this opportunity to tell everyone that he gave extra preferential treatment to the former members of the Former Zerg Fourth Military Academy.
This deterred others from making any further rash moves against the Former Zerg Fourth Military Academy students.
He deliberately arranged for Huang Pu of the Fourth Military Academy to lose first, and then let Blumer of the Zerg Fourth Military Academy get the ticket to Class 6). At this special point, the contrast between the two sides was striking. Qin Su was not worried about the people of the Fourth Military Academy and the Zerg Fourth Military Academy. He did not expect that he would deliberately protect and treat the people of the Zerg Fourth Military Academy well.
If it doesn't work the first time, he'll repeat it several times.
Even the slowest person wouldn't miss his deliberate guidance.
Raymond knew that although he was a decent Alpha in terms of Pheromones, compared to Sophia, He Muzhi, and Jeffrey, his ability as Class Monitor was inferior.
Unexpectedly, Qin Su called her up on stage second. Her eyes first showed surprise, then excitement. Amid the envious gazes of the students in Class 6, she subconsciously glanced at Xuan Jingxi in the crowd in the distance, secretly took a deep breath, and walked towards Blumer with her body tense.
'The second one, the second one Qin Su mentioned! Judging from the order in which he was mentioned, Qin Su definitely has high hopes for him!'
His moment of glory is about to arrive!
Xuan Jingxi: "..."
She wondered if it was just her imagination, but every time she saw Raymond, he seemed like a peacock spreading its tail feathers.
Qin Su: "..."
Raymond's appearance... seemed to suggest that he had probably misunderstood him.
Fortunately, as long as he doesn't use Pheromones, Raymond is too lazy to use his brain for 'scheming'. Given his personality of preferring to use his hands and mouth rather than his brain, even though he is stronger than Blumer, there is a 90% chance that Blumer will 'trick' him.
He Muzhi was disappointed that he wasn't second. Like the other students, he looked at Raymond with envy.
'I wonder when it will be his turn?'
No matter when it's your turn...
He Muzhi looked nervously at Lin Yin, Samuel, Lailisi.
He didn't want to run into the three of them.
She was afraid that she would hold back and disappoint Qin Su.
Qin Su could definitely tell that he was lenient, and if he wasn't, he... would feel terrible.
Although he usually appears selfless, leading his classmates to believe he is a good person, only he himself knows that he also has selfish motives and is not as good as his classmates think.
For the sake of his image, He Muzhi couldn't reveal his secret thoughts to Qin Su. His eyes kept lingering on Qin Su, Lailisi, and the other two, and he was conflicted.
Years of spending time together have given the four of them a telepathic connection that no one else can share.
Despite the distance, there was no need to say anything; from He Muzhi's eyes, Lin Yin and the other two understood the inner turmoil in He Muzhi heart.
"If the message popping up wouldn't affect He Muzhi's Optical Brain in front of Qin Su, I really wanted to send him a message telling him not to worry about us." Since it concerned the people of Class 6), Lailisi kept her voice very low.
"Don't worry," Lin Yin said softly as well, "You can see right through his eyes what you just said to us, no need to say anything."
"And me?" Samuel brought his eyes close to Lin Yin's. "Did my eyes convey to He Muzhi something like, 'It's alright, it's alright, don't worry about us, no matter the outcome, we'll just do our best'?"
Lin Yin nodded affirmatively.
Samuel and Lailisi were relieved upon hearing this, and their gazes returned to He Muzhi, frantically blinking at He Muzhi from afar.
Others: "?"
"No, are their eyes twitching?"
"You don't know the three of them? They 'He Muzhi's childhood friends, and He Muzhi is someone Qin Su values. They're currently He Muzhi a wink, hoping He Muzhi will put in a good word for them with Qin Su and let them into Class 6."
"... That's not fair."
"Are you a child? You still believe that something as ridiculous as 'fairness' actually exists? The world is a huge network of people, you know."
At the same time, in the central PK area,
Seeing Raymond's frequent outrageous remarks, Blumer already had a series of targeted plans in mind.
Thanks to Raymond's outspokenness, he gained a fairly good understanding of Raymond's personality.
Even someone from another class like him has such an understanding of Raymond, so as Raymond's Class Monitor, Blumer doesn't believe Qin Su doesn't.
He had confronted Qin Su as a 'Commander' before, and he didn't believe Qin Su was unaware of his style of doing things.
So, given that Qin Su knew both him and Raymond very well, why did he still put them together to compete...?
Thinking of this, Blumer couldn't help but look up in the direction where Qin Su was located.
'Without a doubt, Qin Su was going easy on him.'
Thinking of this, Blumer's lips curled into a smile.
"?"
Raymond, standing in front of Blumer, looked puzzled and waved his hand in front of Blumer: "Hello? Look at me, what are you expecting? The person you're fighting isn't our Class Monitor, it's me. Face reality and wake up, okay?"
Qin Su, who had taken in Blumer's reaction, said, "..."
Is it possible that Blumer was just too clear-headed, so clear-headed that he saw through Blumer's intention to go easy on him in no time?
Blumer: "..."
Silently withdrawing his gaze, Blumer had a plan in mind. He then flattered Raymond, using words to coax him into a smile, "Raymond, that's why everyone says you're a good person. Thanks for the reminder. Look, we're both from the Former Zerg Fourth Military Academy. In this still somewhat unfamiliar environment, shouldn't we stick together for warmth? Basically, we're on the same side. So, I'll be frank, can you go easy on me? I'm begging you."
Raymond righteously refused Blumer's attempt to curry favor and then immediately stepped back several paces away from Blumer, distancing himself from Blumer through his actions.
'The Class Monitor is watching!'
"What nonsense are you spouting? Do I look like the kind of person who would go easy on someone? Don't slander my innocence!"
What was said in jest was taken seriously. Although Raymond reacted strongly, it didn't elicit laughter from those around him. They all stared intently at Raymond and Blumer, their thoughts nearly identical.
'Huang Pu failed, proving that not everyone who enters the' (Class 6 reserve' area can actually enter (Class 6. So... Blumer, who is from the Zerg Fourth Military Academy, won against the people from (Class 6 right after Huang Pu lost, and received the 'admission notice' for entering (Class 6. Does this prove that Qin Su deliberately let the people from the Zerg Fourth Military Academy win?'
After all, the candidates for the PK were all chosen by Qin Su's autocratic and dictatorial rule. They did not believe there was no deeper meaning behind it, and naturally, all the people in Class 6) obeyed Qin Su's orders.
After the exchange period ended, two minutes into the PK, Blumer successfully tricked Raymond out of the PK circle by taking advantage of Raymond's impulsive nature, causing him to automatically lose.
Raymond: "?"
Raymond was still reeling from Blumer's 'lack of sportsmanship' when he heard Qin Su's lack of reaction to his loss in the PK and his calm tone as he started calling for the third PK match. He could only swallow his words and looked at Blumer with resentment.
He's too ashamed to show his face!
The first person Blumer looked at after successfully outmaneuvering Raymond was not Raymond, but Qin Su.
Looking up from his perspective, he saw Qin Su's sharp, cold jawline. Qin Su didn't give him a single extra glance, and coupled with Qin Su's indifferent voice, it was enough to prove that Qin Su had expected this outcome.
'Qin Su is definitely going easy on him.'
With his suspicions confirmed, Blumer walked toward Class 6) and looked at the others present.
Seeing the expressions on the other people's faces, Blumer was certain that they thought about the same things he did.
Qin Su's deliberate overstatement... perhaps he had guessed the unpleasant treatment some students of the Zerg Fourth Military Academy had received in this unfamiliar Fourth Military Academy during their relocation?
Thinking this through, Blumer's gaze fell on Qin Su again. He could truly feel Qin Su's protection of the Zerg Fourth Military Academy, and a light shone in Blumer's eyes.
The students of the Fourth Military Academy: "..."
'I'm not really sure about this fact, let's see?'
Many people are unwilling to accept that Qin Su took the initiative to defend the group of weaklings at the Zerg Fourth Military Academy, who were practically invisible, and are still stubbornly refusing to admit it.
Six more PK matches were held, three of which were between Class 6 and the Zerg Fourth Military Academy, and three of which were between the 'natives' of the Fourth Military Academy and Class 6.
The former won all the matches, while the latter lost all the matches.
With such blatant facts laid bare before them, it was clear that Qin Su had deliberately let them win, making it exceptionally obvious and forcefully telling them the truth.
'That's right, Qin Su treats the people from the Fourth Military Academy like a formality; to him, the people from the Qin Su Zerg Fourth Military Academy are simply being favored.'
This is a fact, and also a warning to the current "natives" of the Fourth Military Academy not to bully the Zerg Fourth Military Academy.
"..."
They couldn't think of a more reasonable answer than this explanation.
Could they conclude that the expansion of the Fourth Military Academy's student body into Class 6) was orchestrated by Qin Su to protect the Former Zerg Fourth Military Academy students?
Thinking about these things, murmurs began to rise from the crowd.
"I'm so glad I didn't have the chance to harass those outsiders."
"Me too, my idea had just begun when Qin Su nipped it in the bud. It's truly... something I can only envy."
"I told you not to do such despicable things, do you still dare to do it now?"
"He's behaved himself."
Given the bluntness of the situation, they didn't want to offend Qin Su, so they had to abandon their idea of making things difficult for certain people in the Zerg Fourth Military Academy. The members of the Zerg Fourth Military Academy, who also deeply felt the strong and straightforward protection Qin Su giving, were filled with turbulent emotions.
During this period, regardless of who Qin Su selected to compete against the 'reserve' students of Class 6), without exception, if they knew the other party's data, they confidently demonstrated their understanding of the other party; if they did not know, they opened the 499 People group chat in front of the other party and declared the unity of Class 6) based on the information provided in the chat.
One monkey, one tethering method. Judging from everyone's expressions, they clearly understood his intentions. Seeing the favorability points being converted into Life Points and continuously increasing, Qin Su continued with the second step of his plan.
No longer 'rotating' between the Fourth Military Academy and the Zerg Fourth Military Academy, in order to make everyone aware of his change, Qin Su, who was not on the list but had entered the 'selection area', directly pointed out the students of Class 6) who could restrain the other party based on his understanding of them, and eliminated them one by one, according to the order from left to right in the preparation area.
This sparked discontent among those who were eliminated.
"No, forget about Omegas. Even those Betas can get into Class 6, so why can't I, an S-rank Alpha, get in? Is Qin Su deliberately targeting us because of his personal preferences?"
"You mean, Qin Su knows each of our weaknesses and deliberately uses others' strengths to exploit our weaknesses, intentionally preventing those of us he dislikes from entering Class 6, so that those he likes can get into Class 6?"
"That's right."
"Are you kidding me? How could that be? Qin Su would never be so bored." Some people didn't want to admit they had weaknesses.
"I'm more inclined to believe that Class 6) was trained under Qin Su's secret methods, making everyone a well-rounded warrior, which is why I lost. It's definitely not my fault."
"Hehe, how do you explain the fact that people from the Zerg Fourth Military Academy keep joining Class 6)?"
"You mean, just when Qin Su arrived in the correct order and we thought his 'favoritism' was over, he deliberately turned around and blatantly displayed his favoritism towards the Zerg Fourth Military Academy, continuing to undermine our morale? No, are our actions towards the Zerg Fourth Military Academy really that heinous?"
"..."
These words silenced the group of people who had been eliminated and gathered together.
How long will Qin Su continue to torture them by slow slicing?
In the Audience Seat, Xuan Jingxi thought of how even Greyliff and his group were completely obedient to Qin Su, while many of those currently being turned away by Qin Su were future versions of Greyliff.
This is contradictory.
So, could she possibly guess...?
'Isn't Qin Su selecting this group of people for himself?'
'Who is worthy of Qin Su's devotion...'
'He Muzhi!'
