Chapter 186

"Classmates," He Muzhi said, glancing at the time, then, worried about disrupting their planned training, "Any further delays will ruin our original schedule."

Upon hearing this, the students, who had been arguing with the teachers, stopped caring whether they were teachers, school leaders, or elders, and tacitly pushed them all aside.

Let's talk next time!

"I'm outta here."

"Bye-bye, don't stop me from making progress."

Goodbye!

The students in Class 6) had just finished the training exercises they needed to fill in the gaps in from the 'Assassination mission' the day before, and they had secretly trained with Qin Su for a whole night. Now, the next day, Qin Su had taken the initiative to add new training items for them. In particular, the new students in Class 6), apart from Lailisi and the other two, needed to add 'lip reading' as a skill. In short, they had a lot of knowledge to 'fill in'.

Who knows, this afternoon, tomorrow... or later, they will need to make up for many things to satisfy Qin Su.

Even if you study from the moment you open your eyes every day, you might not be able to catch up completely.

With these thoughts in mind, the students in Class 6) dared not delay, they dared not delay at all.

A group of 'teachers' watched helplessly as the students, as if summoned by some force, swarmed away without any courtesy, slipping away like eels, leaving the students who had been pushed aside staring blankly.

Less than a minute later, watching them disappear into the distance, someone whispered, "This 'second' idea is no longer viable."

"Does anyone have any other ideas?"

"What kind of leader is this? What school leader would treat us like this? I think we should just quit and become Qin Su's student; maybe the treatment would be better."

How could you eat and take things at the same time?

Carpenter took a deep breath. "Alright, alright, stop talking."

Isn't it frustrating enough already?

Who would have thought that a group of leaders could be rejected by a group of students?

The sound stopped, Carpenter had another idea. " (Class 6 this 'second' doesn't work, we can settle for 'second' x2."

"Um?"

"Carpenter, can't you speak like a human being?"

Carpenter rolled his eyes speechlessly. "What I mean is, choosing to invite the principal of the Zerg Fourth Military Academy Principal, Aiseboer, the Class Advisor Class 6, Zhang Minglang, and the teachers who once taught at the Zerg Fourth Military Academy, understand?"

"!"

"I get it. Our Fourth Military Academy has plenty of products related to Qin Su."

"It has to be you, Carpenter. Young minds work so fast."

Carpenter didn't argue that he was less than two years younger than the other man and shouldn't be trying to take advantage of him; he simply said, "Everyone, let's get started."

Everyone from the Principal to the teachers of the Former Zerg Fourth Military Academy received a dinner invitation from the current Fourth Military Academy.

They had also heard that, while the Fourth Military Academy where they were currently enrolled wasn't officially hosting a banquet in Qin Su's name, most of the invitees were actually there because of Qin Su.

Although we don't know who is coming, it certainly won't be a simple matter; many people would be tempted and try every means to go.

The main character of the banquet should be Qin Su, and even if these people around Qin Su show up, apart from important people like Aiseboer, even if they receive a banquet invitation, it will only be an electronic invitation. It's a bit strange that they have to make a special contact.

Something unusual must be going on. They secretly communicated with each other and used their respective networks to subtly inquire with the students in Class 6. It didn't take much effort for them to find out that Qin Su had refused.

Rather than being moved, they all chose not to disappoint Qin Su and rejected him outright.

Carpenter: "..."

Carpenter, undeterred by setbacks, opted for a 'second-best' approach: inviting students from the Zerg Fourth Military Academy, preferably those who had prior contact with Qin Su and knew something about him.

Only...

At 3 p. m., while the original (Class 6 was in session, Carpenter and others hid behind the scenes and watched through the on-site Electronic Eyes as a large group of students gathered at the same location after receiving the notification.

However, some people from the Zerg Fourth Military Academy have arrived.

That's right...

Seeing that they hadn't appeared yet, and that the students, who had split into two groups, were arguing heatedly over some of their remarks, Carpenter and the others fell into deep thought.

Judging from what I've heard, some of the people who came were simply there to watch the show.

Another group simply wanted to take advantage of Qin Su 'Qin Su influence, using his name as a springboard to try and find opportunities at the banquet.

That's one thing, but this group of people were only able to be bundled together and admitted to the Fourth Military Academy because of Qin Su, and they even wanted to use Qin Su's name to engage in social activities with people they could never otherwise contact. So why, in the midst of all this commotion, have some people started making sarcastic remarks about Qin Su?

Although they were upset by Qin Su's rejection, they also felt sorry for Qin Su.

Without Qin Su, these students, who were not very capable and also lacked social skills, would never have even reached the threshold of their Fourth Military Academy.

And they still dare to yell things like, "You're spineless! If you want to be a dog, go be one yourself. Don't drag us into it. We have dignity. Have you ever even glanced at him? Has he ever given you anything? What? You received unprecedented Star Coins? That's you, not us. You're showing favoritism and you still think you're right?"... and other such grating words.

"As it turns out, even Qin Su can't be liked by everyone."

"This is the first time I've seen someone get something from Qin Su that makes them unhappy about Qin Su not getting anything themselves. Tsk tsk, even if Qin Su really gave him something, he'd probably still feel unbalanced and think he didn't get as much as others, right?"

"All I know is that even if Qin Su doesn't care, letting someone like that in would mean we've not just messed up our job, we'd be left with nothing but our necks to be cleaned and ready to be wiped clean by Principal Xu."

Not only would the Fourth Military Academy lose face, but even the important figures who came for Qin Su would not agree to it.

Those who wanted to go, there was no need for them to meet.

Carpenter sent someone to deal with the students, then turned to his colleague. "It's alright, I have a 'second-best' version."

The group exchanged worried glances, and soon someone spoke up with concern, "Carpenter, have you gone completely mad from repeatedly doing this?"

"Yeah, the only group of students who wanted to go to the Zerg Fourth Military Academy can't go. I can't think of anyone else."

With Qin Su taking the lead, the Zerg Fourth Military Academy did not receive an immediate and overwhelming response, but it reached a point where 90% of the officers responded to his call.

"The living can't, but the dead can..."

Others: "?"

Carpenter has indeed gone mad; he's been driven to the brink of becoming a lawless outlaw.

Meeting his colleagues' questions, "Hello, are you alright?" Carpenter realized his slip of the tongue and quickly corrected himself. "Inanimate object."

Before his colleagues could speak, Carpenter continued, "The dormitory building where Qin Su is located, the classrooms where Qin Su has taken classes and will take classes in the future, the training areas, the food Qin Su has eaten..."

At this point, Carpenter asked the others, "Which cafeteria has Qin Su eaten at? What kind of dishes did he like?"

Wherever Qin Su went, it became a hit across the entire school, turning into a popular spot for online influencers.

To this day, he has never heard of which cafeteria Qin Su went to or which dish he ate.

"... To the best of my knowledge, no."

"Yes, ever since Qin Su appeared at the Fourth Military Academy, he has gone straight back to his dormitory after every training session. Privately, people have come up with three guesses about this."

"Speculation 1: Qin Su can survive without food or water, having transcended the human realm and moved towards godhood; Speculation 2: Qin Su is in his dormitory with nutrient solution, but someone checked and found that the direct drinking Passageway for nutrient solution in Qin Su's dormitory has never been activated, so this speculation is invalid; Speculation 3: Qin Su doesn't like the food at our Fourth Military Academy, so he returns to his dormitory and uses some high-tech product unknown to us to leave and go to a place he likes to eat. Among this speculations, everyone tends to think that Qin Su is eating on his own territory, because no one on any planet has ever seen Qin Su in public."

During the lesson, through the comic strip comments, I saw Qin Su about my guess. "..."

Guess 3 was completely wrong in the process, and the result... wasn't quite right either.

He ate food from 'home,' which was food he brought from the Real World.

As for guess 2, luckily he didn't drink the nutrient solution in the dormitory. The thought of being monitored if he drank it in the future made Qin Su shudder. He didn't plan to continue drinking it in the future. Even if he craved it someday, he could only drink the one he brought back from outside.

Guess 1?

Qin Su: "..."

Does living close to a 'mentally ill' person count?

Carpenter looked disappointed. "Then it's 'look but not eat'."

After sighing, Carpenter continued, "And there's the Train Qin Su always takes back to his dorm."

"When everyone leaves, it would be best to give them some of the weapons that Qin Su touched or used."

"What do you guys think?" Carpenter asked his colleagues expectantly.

Things have come to this point. Despite his long and eloquent explanation, which sounds logical and well-reasoned, he was truly at his wit's end and had no other choice but to do this.

Others: "..."

Such an arrangement, no matter where it is placed, would be described as 'explosive' or 'weird'.

"If you don't speak, I'll take that as your agreement," Carpenter declared decisively. "Then it's settled. Now, while they can still come, let's hurry up and collect... make arrangements, get ready to deceive... cough cough, welcome them! Although I'm the one who lost, and I have to start, Principal Xu assigned this task to all of us. Everyone, no one can escape."

The group was speechless. Qin Su didn't give them any room to maneuver like 'living people,' so they had no choice but to grit their teeth and operate the inanimate object.

'If they can't handle the living people of the Zerg Fourth Military Academy, can't they handle the inanimate objects of the Fourth Military Academy?'

[Retreating to the power of N]

[Carpenter at the beginning: It's okay, I didn't back down again!]

The later Carpenter (Don't stop me. jpg): I'm backing away--

[I've had a really tough life.]

[That's very resilient]

[That's really inspiring]

[That's hilarious]

--

Night.

The group of people who had gathered at the Fourth Military Academy from various planets thought that Qin Su would be the last to appear. Although they were very anxious, they kept a calm expression on their faces and talked to each other naturally.

A full hour had passed since the banquet began, and their patience gradually wore thin. Even if they had a lot to say, they had said enough by this point.

The guests couldn't help but look around, trying to find where Qin Su was watching them.

Especially Greyliff and the others, their gloomy expressions as they searched for Qin Su's figure were tinged with a hint of anxiety.

'They really can't stand the lingering, chilling sense of Qin Su's presence, even when he's not around.'

He just wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to see Qin Su today, so that he could die knowing why.

Qiu Pang, who had specially arranged for someone to put 'worn-out makeup' on her face before coming, stood behind Greyliff and the others with a smile.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but the area around Norian and his group felt unusually cold, much colder than when he was alone.

That wasn't all; the feeling of being constantly watched sent chills down his spine, and the déjà vu that 'Qin Su is watching them' became even stronger in his mind.

Qiu Pang touched the goosebumps on his arm and sighed inwardly that although his chubby body could withstand the cold, it was no match for Qin Su's 'cold observation' from behind the scenes.

"Damn it, how long do we have to wait? Qiu Pang, have you gained weight again? How can you still eat at a time like this?"

Norian's words earned Qiu Pang a sinister glare from Greyliff.

Despite appearing to be in good spirits, under the cover of his military uniform, his mental state has deteriorated rapidly under Qin Su's daily surveillance. Not only is he experiencing auditory and visual hallucinations in his empty room when he is all alone, but his physical health is also starting to suffer.

The data from his monthly routine physical examination reports also proved that his intuition was correct.

The thought that Qin Su might have also seen his physical data made Greyliff's already anxious state of mind even worse.

Caught off guard, Qiu Pang quickly snapped out of her daze, composed herself, and flashed a fawning smile, "Haha... I've been under a lot of pressure lately, and I couldn't help but eat a bit more. You know, I like to use food to relieve my fear when I'm scared."

In order to blend in perfectly with them, Qiu Pang dared not be in 'good condition'. With dark circles under his eyes and a pale face, coupled with the mask he had deliberately put on in front of them before, he was not afraid of being stared at at all.

Inside the banquet hall, the guests, who belonged to different factions, had all gathered around their 'own people' after the initial socializing.

Seeing everyone's movements, Carpenter forced himself to say a lot of nice things and started to mention 'Qin Su,' which meant to start the 'tour of the area around Qin Su '.

At first, the people who came for Qin Su, each with their own purpose, showed different emotions in their eyes when they heard this.

As time went on, realizing something was wrong, a growing sense of impatience and coldness appeared on everyone's faces.

Those in high positions only need a glance to have their entourage of guests speak up for them.

"Enough! How long are you going to keep stalling us?"

"I'm not saying this to be mean, but isn't this the point of your Fourth Military Academy? Why are we gathered here today? Do we really need to make it clear?"

"Give us a definite answer: when exactly can we see the person we want to see?"

They want Qin Su, not to waste their time here.

Faced with a barrage of questions, former Fourth Military Academy Vice Principal Aldrich broke out in a cold sweat, too afraid to speak directly to them, and instead gave Carpenter and the others a threatening look.

He hadn't expected Qin Su to treat them so differently, even though they were both from the Fourth Military Academy.

"Rank has its own," Aldrich's words forced Carpenter to step in and smooth things over as the Train doors opened. "Haha, everyone, look, that's Qin Su's dormitory at the Fourth Military Academy. Every day Qin Su would..."

As Carpenter spoke, it was clear that everyone's expressions were even more unpleasant than before, but he didn't dare to stop. He continued to grit his teeth and deliver his prepared speech with great enthusiasm, appearing as if he were still alive.

In truth, its spirit is dead.

Seeing that the bigwigs they were entertaining with smiles had faces as dark as the bottom of a pot, and showed no sign of leaving, Carpenter guessed that they were only restraining their tempers because of Qin Su's influence.

His only consolation was that as long as Qin Su remained at the Fourth Military Academy, even if these people realized they'd been fooled and were about to explode with anger, they would continue to endure it.

Aldrich, who spearheaded the banquet... Carpenter was thankful that he hadn't completely lost his mind and heeded Principal Xu's advice, never explicitly mentioning Qin Su's name in any written or verbal manner.

Now...

Even if the other party is angry, the Fourth Military Academy won't be subject to gossip.

Since being ousted from his position as vice Principal by Aiseboer, Aldrich has been mentally unbalanced and eager to do something to regain recognition. He thought of using Qin Su to strengthen and increase the connections between the Fourth Military Academy and other powerful figures on other planets.

Who knew that his attempt to steal a chicken would backfire so badly? Qin Su ignored him, and Principal Xu distanced himself after his advice failed. Aldrich... probably won't have much room for advancement in the future.

Even after tonight, I don't know where I'll be sent.

Carpenter was thinking to himself, but he didn't stop talking.

"..."

The crowd, who had come primarily for Qin Su, stared intently in the direction of Qin Su's dormitory, their eyes brimming with emotion.

They were only a short distance away from Qin Su, but without Qin Su's permission, they could not take another step forward.

Qin Su couldn't possibly be unaware of their arrival, yet he refused to see them, which shows... his immense confidence and arrogance.

[The banquet at the Fourth Military Academy was a scam; the important figures were outside, and Qin Su was inside.]

[Do you think Su Bao knows?]

[He definitely knows, he just doesn't want to come out. Su Bao must also know that Aldrich wants to use his influence to hold this banquet and seek his own benefit and future, which is why he's so cold-blooded.]

[I can't imagine what will happen to Aldrich. Won't Qin Su feel guilty? What's the big deal about showing up once? He's too cold-blooded.]

[A master of moral blackmail has appeared. Did our coach force him to do that? He's an adult enough to bear the consequences of his own actions. Our coach won't tolerate that. Aldrich likes to gamble, and this is the result.]

[Understood, gambling is an irreconcilable enemy.]

The thought of everyone outside watching his dorm made Qin Su: "..."

He's better off than the monkeys in the zoo because the walls around him aren't transparent, so they can't just look at him whenever they want; he has a little bit of control over the situation.

On the other hand, Aldrich vaguely used his name to host the banquet before having someone invite him; isn't that a kind of obedience test?

Why should he feel guilty?

Aldrich had ulterior motives and wanted to manipulate him. Before he was put on hold, no one had informed him in advance. Wasn't it normal that he refused?

Qin Su silently organized the surveillance data copied from the banquet hall, checking the current facial expressions of each person on his list.

In the past, he mainly learned about their physical data through their physical examination reports. Now that he has met them in person, it would be a pity to miss such a good opportunity to combine data with their physical condition.

Even though they didn't show up, their trip wasn't in vain.

After he finished organizing, he had to listen to their conversation from beginning to end to extract the useful information. He was so busy that he really didn't have time to go out and be a monkey.

Besides, if we actually go out, similar incidents will only continue to happen. It's better to keep things quiet now and cut off everyone's restless desires once and for all.

That evening, countless people left disappointed.

The following day, Aldrich was transferred to the Leichakan 299th Military Academy, which was tantamount to exile.

Upon seeing the keyword "Leichakan 299th Military Academy" mentioned in the comments, Qin Su silently memorized it because of Xuan Jingcheng.

The classes continued as usual for the next few days, and soon it was time for Mei Qingyu's class again.

After a week of observation, Qin Su's understanding of the 500 new recruits, especially the group from the Fourth Military Academy, is no longer as superficial as before.

Qin Su knew exactly what kind of force to use against whom, and even their fears and little habits.

The only thing that worried Qin Su was that using technology meant he had to finish the battle quickly.

His only uncertainty was how many members of Team 1 would be left when they entered the final Assassination round.

If there are too many people left, he will have to increase the dosage.

While waiting for the teacher to arrive, Qin Su could hear the constant chatter of his classmates.

"Have you heard the bad news? This week, the Empire launched an unprecedented full-scale offensive against Leichakan, and instead of losing like before, they've won several battles in a row. It's very strange."

"What's so strange about that? Leichakan isn't great in any way. Are you trying to imply that Leichakan? That's perfectly normal. It's not the first time. It's common to be tempted by the opportunity to change one's fate on another planet, since one can't escape Leichakan."

"I heard from my family that Leichakan has been making repeated requests for help to Military Districts and Military Academies on other planets, and has also submitted an application to the Federation. Will our Military Academy respond?"

"It's not a matter of whether we pay attention or not. In the past, the decision for these kinds of things was made from above, and then it was all a matter of drawing lots to see who would be the unlucky one to be sent."

Unlucky?

Upon hearing the keyword, Qin Su's DNA stirred, and he looked at He Muzhi.

Thinking about his past bad luck, which always seemed to come true but never good, He Muzhi looked at Qin Su with a guilty conscience.

Their eyes met in mid-air.
