The road wasn't long, so Qin Su kept his hands hanging at his sides for a short time while walking, reducing the risk of his classmates noticing anything unusual about his hands.

She walked up to Mei Qingyu amidst the silent gazes of her classmates.

Before him, Qin Su lowered his eyelids slightly and greeted softly, "Teacher Mei."

Of the five-hour class in the morning, only two hours had passed on-site. Qin Su guessed that the remaining two hours should be the time for Teacher Mei to review the lesson with them.

For the next period of time, he was unable to perform any normal movements with his hands, nor could he remove them.

Based on previous experience, barring any unforeseen circumstances, a team will finish their analysis in about an hour, leaving not much time. As long as he doesn't use his hands, he has nothing to worry about.

That is, assuming no one cares about his hands.

Qin Su appeared calm and collected on the surface, but in his heart he silently performed a ritual and offered prayers.

"Ahem... Hmm." Mei Qingyu met Qin Su's calm, dark eyes, coughed twice, nodded, and then said to the students behind her, whose postures were becoming increasingly tense as Qin Su drew closer, "You guys, put those nine people down, and then meet in the classroom where we reviewed last week within half an hour."

It's not her fault; the scene of things turning into ruins in such a short time is truly shocking to anyone who sees it.

She deliberately gave the students half an hour, hoping that after their locust-like 'cleaning up,' the final result would alleviate some of the 'life-doubting' feelings of the school staff responsible for cleaning and re-setting up the scene.

"Okay, teacher."

"Don't worry, teacher, we'll take care of this."

The voices, restrained by Qin Su's presence, tried their best to maintain their composure, but could not hide their excitement.

Teacher Mei was clearly tacitly agreeing to give them some time to 'treasure hunt' in these ruins.

' Qin Su made gifts for them, Qin Su is good; the teacher gave them time to snatch the gifts, the teacher is good too. At this moment, there are no happier students in the world than Class 6. '

Mei Qingyu looked at Qin Su again. "Qin Su, would you be willing to help the teacher organize the video documents needed for the analysis later?"

Within this half hour, if Qin Su agreed, she and Qin Su each duplicated a team to condense and annotate the video, which was over two hours long.

Mei Qingyu wouldn't trust other students to make instructional videos, but with Qin Su, based on the various teaching materials he demonstrated with such ease during his Assassination last time, he definitely knew which parts of the video were important and which should be omitted.

"It's my honor." Qin Su secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The reality differed somewhat from previous speculations. Fortunately, this was Comic World, aided by a multi-functional Optical Brain. He only needed to use his Optical Brain to control the simplification of the review video, without needing to use his hands.

"Let's go over there then."

Mei Qingyu was not surprised by Qin Su's answer. Qin Su looked cold, but he was a good person. To be precise, Qin Su's education made him always polite to people who did not infringe on his interests.

Qin Su: "Hmm."

Qin Su responded and followed behind Mei Qingyu. The two of them walked through the crowd one after the other and disappeared from the sight of the students in Class 6).

The elevator walls blocked the prying eyes from outside, and Mei Qingyu looked at Qin Su's hands hanging down by his body through the gleaming walls in front of her.

To the naked eye, there were no visible bruises or marks on it.

Yet these very hands, effortlessly, in less than two minutes, destroyed things that would require a great deal of effort for an ordinary person.

Qin God Su calmly at the wall. His hands were now useless, and if he didn't want the teacher to start a conversation about it, it was best to pretend he didn't see the teacher's scrutinizing gaze on his hands.

Before leaving the dormitory today, he had already covered his hands with a foundation-like substance that matched his skin tone. Even if bruises appeared on his hands from punching a heavy object, they would be covered by the foundation-like substance.

Even direct contact with your hands won't leave a trace; a specific liquid is needed to remove it.

He checked the clothes before he came out and found that the protective layer on the surface had no scratches.

No matter how long Teacher Mei looked at it, she couldn't see any bruises.

Mei Qingyu: "..."

She stared at him for so long, but Qin Su didn't react at all.

Left with no other option, Mei Qingyu could only take the initiative to satisfy her curiosity. "Qin Su, I wonder if it's convenient for you to tell your teacher, does your hand hurt?"

There have been rumors circulating that Qin Su has undergone some kind of unknown modification to his entire body, similar to Exoskeleton. However, the Exoskeleton modification Qin Su received is of a higher level than the one used by the Federation on special groups, which is why they cannot see it.

If Qin Su is willing to answer and says "it doesn't hurt," it means that Qin Su is not averse to her gossip, and she can naturally ask more questions.

Qin Su tried to move his hands, but unfortunately, his mind conveyed the meaning of 'move,' and his hands completely ignored his thoughts.

"It doesn't hurt." Because he couldn't feel anything at all, the muscles in his hand felt completely drained, as if they were dead.

It hurt when I hit them before, but now three minutes have passed and they don't hurt anymore. The teacher didn't mention a timeframe, so Qin Su deliberately chose the current moment in the chat to respond.

Mei Qingyu: "!"

Qin Su would never bother lying to a teacher who posed no threat to him. Any normal human hand would feel pain after such a violent beating, yet Qin Su said...

Sensing that the teacher still wanted to ask something, Qin Su, fearing that the more he asked, the more flaws he would reveal, glanced at the time it would take for the elevator to reach its destination floor, and interrupted the teacher's thoughts before she could speak again, "Teacher, we've arrived."

The elevator doors opened with a click.

Qin Su hoped to use this sentence to express that he did not want to be investigated further.

Mei Qingyu was struggling with whether or not to continue asking when Qin Su's voice interrupted her.

There was no need to bring up something as trivial as the elevator doors opening. Mei Qingyu easily understood that Qin Su probably knew what she wanted to ask, and he didn't want to directly refuse and hurt her pride as a teacher, so he was using this dignified way to smoothly change the subject.

Having figured it out, Mei Qingyu stopped testing the waters, stepped out of the elevator, used her authority to open the door to the destination room, and led Qin Su inside.

Although Qin Su didn't let her continue asking, from Qin Su's answer, it could be inferred that the reason 'it doesn't hurt' was most likely because she had indeed undergone human modification'.

"By the way," Qin Su said, not hearing his teacher continue probing, and following the teacher's assumption that he was deliberately changing the subject, "Teacher Mei, I'd like to ask you for leave."

"Hmm?" Mei Qingyu snapped out of her thoughts, "When are you requesting leave?"

Qin Su: "An hour and a half later."

Asking for leave was a pretense; the real reason was to cover up the fact that his hands were hanging down strangely when he sat down.

The classroom is a tiered classroom, and from the teacher's perspective, the parts under the tables that are obscured by the tables cannot be seen.

However, if he sits in the front row as his classmates assume, those sitting around him can easily see his strangely drooping hands and notice the abnormality in their condition.

He needs to sit in the back for safety.

His sudden move to the back row without any apparent reason would seem strange to his teachers and classmates.

After careful consideration, Qin Su decided to use the excuse of taking leave to justify his decision to sit in the back row later.

There was a door at the back of the classroom. Since he needed to leave early during class to avoid affecting the students' concentration, his decision to sit in the back row naturally became reasonable in the teacher's eyes.

With the desks blocking the view, even if his classmates turned around to look at him, they wouldn't notice that something was wrong with his hands.

If the student leaves later and the classmate asks, the teacher will tell them that the student asked for leave. It's perfectly normal for the student to sit in the back row so that they can leave the classroom early without disturbing the classmate.

Even, according to the thought process of the original (Class 6 students, they would think that... it's considerate of their concentration?

The moment he enters the analysis classroom, he hacks into the Electronic Eye system, and the matter will be resolved smoothly.

"No problem."

Mei Qingyu nodded in agreement without even thinking.

Given Qin Su's abilities, there's no need for her to teach anything further. Her presence in Class 6) is likely to personally supervise the students in Class 6).

Besides, Qin Su didn't just ask for leave from her class; Qin Su also asked for leave from other teachers' classes during this period, which clearly indicates that there is something particularly important for him to do.

She had no reason not to agree.

"Thank you, Teacher Mei."

Despite the fact that his carefully crafted persona and obedient behavior in front of the teacher made it virtually certain that he would get leave, Qin Su finally breathed a sigh of relief when he actually succeeded.

--

Inside the ruins-like room, Team 1 nine people were pulled down by students from Class 6 who had cut the curtains.

As several dull thuds echoed as the nine people who had been lowered onto the thick stack of mats piled on the ground, before they could even get a clear look at their surroundings, someone blew a whistle.

Ugh--

At a command, the crowd, who had been eyeing their spoils since entering the room, swarmed forward, engaging in fierce competition.

Last time, their lack of experience led to an unequal distribution of spoils. But they weren't happy about true fairness, so they unanimously agreed that after completing the teacher's orders and releasing the nine people, they would act at the same time, each relying on their own abilities.

Team 1 has 9 players?

Because of their disastrous defeat, which crumbled in just over a minute, they were temporarily excluded from Team 1 and disqualified from participating in the 'Fair Treasure Hunt'.

When the nine of them finally recovered from the shock of being shaken from head to toe, they found that their classmates were so busy jumping around like thieves that no one spared them even a glance.

9 people:

"?"

"..."

"!"

"Where is your manners? Are we even classmates anymore? You won't even give us a moment's respite? Are you even human?"

Leave some for me!

Those who realized what was happening had already joined the scramble, while those who hadn't were still lying on the thick, long-haired carpet, watching their classmates 'run and scramble' over them.

The scene descended into chaos.

In less than ten minutes, with the concerted efforts of nearly a thousand people, everything that could be taken was taken. Except for the huge items that couldn't be taken, such as walls, floors, and inlaid objects, nothing in the room was spared.

Before the time allotted by the teacher was up, the students in Class 6) quickly moved their belongings back to their dormitories or other places for temporary storage.

The internal 'strife' in Class 6 has temporarily ended. The students of Class 6, carrying large and small bags, left and had time to continue to speculate about Qin Su's thoughts based on his behavior.

"Hilarious! We even made a bet before it started, and we didn't guess a single one right."

"Who told you to start guessing from at least ten minutes? Besides, how easy is it to guess what the Class Monitor is thinking? You can only be envious. Don't ever think about getting the same treatment as us by 'reenacting' it again."

"Heh, is it possible that Qin Su thought last time was enough, and repeating it again this time is a waste of time and unnecessary? It has nothing to do with you old guys?"

"They will try to make amends for themselves."

"Although I hate to admit it, let's be rational, this could very well be true."

"Even so, we outnumbered Team 2, and we only lasted less than a minute. It's incredibly embarrassing."

The Team 1 was speechless upon hearing this; they couldn't refute this fact.

However, soon after seeing the one-minute video of Team 1, edited by Mei Qingyu without any speed-up playback, both the new and old members of Class 6) felt that there was nothing shameful about it.

Anyone could easily see from the video that if Qin Su really wanted to target them, his initial attack, which hadn't deliberately missed, would have been enough to kill them. Every subsequent attack was the same.

The reason it took more than a minute to finish was because Qin Su saw that in that short period of time, apart from firing a few shots at the beginning, the nine people had exhausted all their strength by simply trying to escape.

Seeing that they were completely exhausted, Qin Su took pity on them and ended the whole thing by packing them up and hanging them up, thus concluding this one-sided crushing defeat that had no suspense whatsoever.

Let alone Team 1, any of them would be dominated by the fear of being crushed by that ever-present 'High-Dimensional Overwhelm' force. They would be controlled by Qin Su's ability to create a scene of collapse with just a light touch of his hands, without relying on any Firearms or Cold Weapons, and feel a fear of being powerless to resist.

Especially since Qin Su had chosen to sit behind them this time for some unknown reason, the pressure on them increased even more, and they dared not say much.

By stealing footage from indoor Electronic Eye, Qin Su was able to easily see the expressions and body language of the students who had just joined Class 6 after watching the final video footage of Team 1.

Seeing that they were wary of him because of his deliberate intimidation, and that their eyes looked at him with less of the previous hesitation and inquisitiveness, but with more determination, fear and caution.

By overwhelming the new members of Class 6) with sheer force Qin Su ensured that even if they had other intentions, they wouldn't dare to betray him. It was also time for him to ask for leave. After nodding politely to the teacher, Qin Su quietly got up and left.

To make his classmates sense his departure by looking back with his eyes following his, Qin Su, sitting in the back row, silently lowered the temperature a minute before he was to leave.

After leaving the teacher's room through the back door, Qin Su deactivated the electronic voice intrusion on the teacher, restoring the room temperature to its original level.

Judging from Teacher Mei's easygoing nature, Qin Su guessed that the teacher would tell the students as soon as he left.

(Class 6 were already sitting upright and 'insecure' because Qin Su suddenly sat in the back. They immediately noticed that the teacher was looking past them at Qin Su at the back.

Seeing the teacher nod to Qin Su, while his mind was filled with all sorts of speculations, he felt that the room seemed to have warmed up a bit more.

Mei Qingyu watched Qin Su leave, then looked at the students who were trying to peek but were desperately holding back. She dropped her serious expression, rubbed her stiff face, and teased, "Alright, alright, stop pretending. If you want to look, go ahead. Qin Su is gone."

As Mei Qingyu finished speaking, all the heads that had been facing forward straight turned to look back in unison.

Once they realized the area behind them was empty, everyone involuntarily relaxed.

"Phew... It feels so good to breathe freely! If those nine had performed even a little better, I wouldn't be so terrified of being punished by the Class Monitor just because I'm also on Team 1."

"To be honest, I felt really warmed up as soon as the Class Monitor left. I seriously suspect that the reason the Class Monitor so cold after watching that video was because the nine people in Team 1 were so bad, which angered him."

"Teacher, is it really true, as Anthony said, that the Class Monitor suddenly left because he was outmatched by the Team 1?"

The sudden rise in temperature, coupled with Qin Su's departure, caused the students in Class 6 to unconsciously think that 'Qin Su's departure has dissipated the chill in the room.'

That was the truth. The people in Team 1 dared not speak out in anger, and glared resentfully at the people in Team 2 who were taking advantage of their misfortune.

"No," Mei Qingyu denied, "It's just because Qin Su took leave."

"No wonder the Class Monitor suddenly sat in the back row. I thought Class Monitor preferences had changed, but it turns out he took leave."

"What?! Teacher, you mean it's for our sake? The Class Monitor even noticed such a detail as not wanting to leave midway and disrupt our concentration! I'm so happy!"

"Who says otherwise? Waaah, the Class Monitor is such a good person!"

Team 1 members. "..."

In this way, only the "Old Six" could say such things. The "New Six," thinking back to what they had just witnessed, even if they knew about Qin Su's "thoughtful" actions, didn't dare to boast about themselves because they knew they hadn't known Qin Su for long and weren't like the "Old Six" who were Qin Su's first choice.

Feeling a pang of sadness, someone from Team 1 changed the subject. "Am I the only one wondering why the Class Monitor asked for leave?"

Unbeknownst to them, some of the people in Team 1 who used to Qin Su by his name in private started calling him 'Class Monitor', just like the original (Class 6.

"Jim, has anyone told you before that your ability to change the subject is really terrible? What else could the Class Monitor be asking for leave for? Of course, it's like before, that he has some important business to attend to back in the dorm, or even that he's using some high-tech Hyperspace Jump device that we don't know about to leave the Fourth Military Academy."

Mei Qingyu switched to the video of Team 2, interrupting the students of Class 6) from their 'daydreaming': "Alright, alright, stop thinking about it. Anyway, no matter how much you think about it, you won't have a chance to go into Qin Su's dormitory to find out what's going on. Thinking about it is pointless. Now get your minds back on track and let's continue."

"By the way," Mei Qingyu now clearly realized how much "damage" the "Qin Su area" had to Class 6, and said directly, "The video of Team 2 that we are about to watch was personally edited and analyzed by Qin Su."

"!"

The students in Class 6 immediately brightened up and urged each other on.

"What? The Class Monitor cut our hair himself? Teacher Mei, let's get started!"

"Yes, I can't wait any longer."

"Teacher, it's time to show me how hard I'm studying."

Mei Qingyu couldn't help but smile and shake her head, then started playing the video of Team 2.

There's a video 'dredging' personally edited by Qin Su. Are you worried that someone in Class 6 might be distracted because of Qin Su's departure? Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Four days passed in the blink of an eye, and Xu Zhen, far away on another planet, received a unified notice issued to all Military Academies on various planets.

Initially, the planets of the Federation thought it was just a minor skirmish, like every other one before, so the first application submitted by Leichakan Planet to the Federation was rejected.

Unexpectedly, the Empire used 'Test Subjects' in the war against Leichakan two days ago. The Test Subjects were infected with some kind of Virus by the Empire, and no vital signs could be detected. They were clearly walking corpses, yet they could fight and jump. Even with severed limbs, their remaining bodies could crawl on the ground. They had no mental capacity. After being deployed to Leichakan, they indiscriminately attacked living people.

Even more terrifying is that anyone injured by the Test Subjects will be transformed into a humanoid monster weapon exactly like the Test Subjects within the next two hours.

Not to mention the added benefit of protective Combat Suits, which gave the Test Subjects an even greater advantage in combat, something that living, thinking beings capable of feeling fear could never match.

The Empire's ruthless actions led to widespread coverage of the Leichakan War on the StarNet, and under pressure from public opinion, Leichakan's second application was quickly approved.

Each of the selected Military Districts on each planet has dispatched a team to provide support.

The Military Academies on each planet will also be selected by lottery, with one Military Academy chosen from each planet, and each Military Academy will send a class to Leichakan to provide support.

Unable to get away from his work and go to the lottery location, Xu Zhen handed the task over to Aiseboer, who was the vice Principal.

Through videos on the StarNet, Qin Su quickly learned that Zombies were very likely to appear in the Comic World. Taking advantage of the dark and windy night in the Comic World, he arrived at the scene to observe it in person, stole the Virus data about Zombies from the Empire, and compiled a detailed report on the Test Subjects. Qin Su printed the report into a paper file and brought it back to the Real World.

K-110 was extracted from something similar to Zombie King. To prevent someone in the Comic World from extracting it in the future, he absolutely could not allow the Zombie Virus to continue to spread in the Comic World.

It turns out that one cannot eat six Anfu Silkworm Eggs at once ([melted]) because greed actually diminishes their deliciousness (not really), it's just that a greedy girl's stomach can't handle it.
