"That makes perfect sense." Raymond was immediately convinced by He Muzhi. "We're positive, healthy, and progressive young people; we can't go and investigate like this. What if we get led astray?"

"No problem."

"Fortunately, I only saw it once, and I did it with my neck tucked back, so I wasn't really affected. I'm still clean and haven't been corrupted by Xuan Jingcheng's perverted behavior."

"Hehe, I was peeking through my fingers with my hand covering my face, my eyes didn't even meet Xuan Jingcheng's, so his mental state was completely unaffected by me."

"Seriously, can't you two talk properly? It's like I've gotten dirty from scrutinizing every single one of them!"

"Anthony, I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush it. No matter how long you watch, it won't get to you."

Hearing his classmates chatting amongst themselves, and with no one paying attention to him anymore, He Muzhi relaxed.

Regardless of what lies behind that thin veil of paper, he knew very well that he didn't really want to expose it; there were many things in this world that interested him more.

"..."

The students from the other classes of the Fourth Military Academy couldn't get a word in edgewise. As they listened to Class 6) boasting about themselves, they couldn't help but roll their eyes at the things Class 6) had done.

In that case, it should be these people who are in charge, right? How could Class 6) have the nerve to put it on them?

Given their somewhat abnormal mental state when they faced Qin Su, and their genuine argument, if anyone's being led astray, it's them who are leading others astray.

[Now you can give up, right? Some people should stop trying to justify themselves. Even mentioning someone's name didn't change A-Mu's expression in the slightest, proving that no matter how many times it happens, the resistance in his genes and the aversion in his physiology cannot be changed.]

Am I the only one who thinks that He Muzhi actually guessed it in his heart, but just didn't bother to pay attention, feeling that it was a waste of his feelings?

[Even better, ignoring it is the best outcome]

Half an hour after Qin Su left, Gallagher led a group of people into the temporary residence of the Fourth Military Academy and headed straight for the location of Class 6). Qin Su was not there. The senior class of the Fourth Military Academy was dissatisfied with Gallagher's behavior, but did not vent their emotions on the spot. In front of Gallagher and his group of outsiders, they maintained the harmony within the Fourth Military Academy.

"Dear classmates, we meet again." Gallagher looked at the familiar faces in Class 6) and greeted them with a smile. "This is dinner prepared for your Fourth Military Academy. I hope you enjoy it."

After speaking loudly, Gallagher turned to look at the people following behind him. "Put the things down..."

"Wait a minute," Sophia interrupted, "Excuse me, Captain Gallagher, are there similar cases in other Military Districts?"

She remembered clearly that Leichakan's situation was special. Soldiers from other planets who came to support them were each responsible for their own food. Besides this, in an unfamiliar place, they didn't cook the food themselves and hadn't seen the cooking process. If someone added something to it, it wouldn't be too easy for them to be wiped out.

(Class 6 did not speak, the look in their eyes when they looked at Gallagher conveyed the same meaning.

Many people in the other classes of the Fourth Military Academy had a keen sense of smell. In addition, not all the insulated boxes used by Leichakan were intact; many boxes were only used for decoration. As Gallagher and others entered, many people smelled the tempting aroma emanating from the insulated boxes.

Nutrient solutions were everywhere in the school. Later, when they were sent to various Military District, they also had an endless supply of nutrient solutions. None of them would really like it. They were looking forward to enjoying it, but were doused with cold water by the students of Class 6). The students looked at Class 6) with displeasure.

Even if they knew what Class 6) was worried about, with Qin Su here, even if the people of Leichakan had a hundred times the courage, they wouldn't dare. Class 6) was being overly cautious.

Gallagher paused for a moment, then shook his head and said frankly, "They don't need us to do that."

No matter which Military District came here, they all looked down on the food provided by Leichakan. Even though Qin Su had taken all the "hidden supplies" from the various planetary Military District without warning, it was still the same. Under Qin Su's guidance, the Living Dead War ended much earlier than everyone expected, and the remaining supplies from the other planetary Military District were enough to feed them very well.

Unlike the Fourth Military Academy this time, who only brought nutrient solution.

Although, according to Federation regulations, during the deployment of troops by each Military District for operational or support missions, soldiers are only allowed to consume nutrient solutions to avoid discomfort caused by an overly varied diet.

Even if you went to the Fourth Military Academy, you wouldn't be this obedient.

(Class 6) Upon hearing this, the students began to speak one after another.

"I understand, that means there isn't any, so our class can't eat any."

"Yes, of course. Our class isn't suspecting there's anything wrong with your food; it's just that we have to follow the rules."

"Yes, our class had to politely decline, even with tears in our eyes."

(Class 6 6 glanced at each other and saw that some senior students were giving them disapproving looks. They all chimed in with their own words, acting as the 'villains'.

Trust them here? Absolutely not, they only trust Qin Su.

Gallagher: "... Haha, okay, it was my fault for not thinking things through. My fault, my fault. Well then, I'll let them retreat first."

(Class 6 have some misunderstanding about 'polite refusal'? Gallagher sighed inwardly, waved for the people behind him to take the box away, but did not leave himself.

He took the initiative to take on this task because he wanted to use the opportunity of delivering dinner to convey through He Muzhi that he had been so close to Xuan Jingcheng that he almost cooked for Xuan Jingcheng, but he was deceived by the other party. Now that he was being coldly rejected by Class 6), he didn't know how to start the conversation.

Anyone could tell that Gallagher had something to say, He Muzhi stepped forward and whispered, "Please speak your mind."

These words were like a pillow being handed to a sleepy Gallagher; Gallagher immediately whispered what he had been planning to say to He Muzhi, then quietly explained, "I just didn't want any misunderstandings, that's all."

"Don't worry, I understand." Thinking that he had almost been deceived by Xuan Jingcheng before, He Muzhi understood Gallagher and decided to help him.

With a huge weight lifted from his shoulders, Gallagher finally left with peace of mind.

No sooner had Gallagher left than the loud chirping of crickets rang out from the senior class of the Fourth Military Academy.

"How aloof! I wonder when Qin Su will return? I wonder who he's putting on this act for."

"Be confident. You should ask Qin Su if he's coming back."

" (Class 6 is here. If they're not worried, why should we be? By the way, why didn't you take some people with you? That's the Governor and Executive of Leichakan, along with a group of dignitaries. They have some power. Do you think it's unnecessary, that you look down on the planet Leichakan, or that you simply didn't intend to pave the way for their future?"

"Haha, maybe both."

(Class 6 had no hearing problems. Some of them heard the argument and wanted to argue back, but before they could speak, He Muzhi stopped them with his voice. "Classmates, look at our group chat, it has 999 people."

Aside from gossiping, the 999 Group created by Qin Su mostly served as 'extra training, cramming, and mutual encouragement'. When the students in Class 6 heard this, they didn't have time to pay attention to the sarcastic remarks, fearing that they would lose if they were late to the game.

The senior students of the Fourth Military Academy chattered amongst themselves, only to find that the students in Class 6) were far away from them, huddled together, nodding repeatedly, seemingly trying to understand what they were doing. This feeling of powerlessness, like punching cotton, made them even angrier.

Although the other senior students who hadn't spoken didn't say anything, they didn't mean to mock their classmates either. Qin Su was a special person to them, and they were convinced of his worth. As for Class 6), the facts and right and wrong were no longer important at this moment. Their feelings of envy and jealousy made them unwilling to indulge him. In the end, it was just a small fuss behind Qin Su's back, and it was impossible for them to really make a scene in front of Qin Su.

(Class 6) In the center of the crowd, a series of mobilization calls rang out.

"We all heard that, right? The Class Monitor wanted to use the open house to help the survivors of Visana. As students of Class 6, we need to train ourselves to take the lead when we get back. If we can't lead by example, we can mobilize our families, relatives, and friends."

"It's already edited and sent to the group."

"I never imagined that my 721 groups would have this kind of use."

"Samuel, what have you been doing behind the scenes? Why are you in so many groups?"

"Got it, group tour!"

The Class of 27 of students never expected to encounter such a thing in their first semester of school. Between watching the drama unfold and being afraid, they fearfully chose to focus their attention on Class (Class 6), which completely ignored the senior class, and the senior class that was so angry that they almost fainted.

[Please enjoy the solo performance by the senior class (doge)]

[Class of 27) was like me, who, seeing people arguing late at night, stayed up all night and peered out the window through binoculars to watch the drama unfold]

[Class of 27: Knock knock, take a bite here, take two bites there]

The network of connections is intricate and complex, with one line connecting to another, and they intertwine unknowingly to form a vast web.

After dinner, which was meant to entertain Qin Su was seen off. Among Chester and his group, those who had previously been skeptical of Qin Su's "opening for tours in exchange for subsidies for surviving residents" approach, now saw Dolores and Chester talking at a distance from them, seemingly not needing them for the time being. They finally had time to check the new messages that had been constantly appearing on their Optical Brain during the dinner.

Don't talk to me right now, I'm very busy.

"You make it sound like I'm not busy. You have no idea that while I was having dinner with Qin Su, my Optical Brain kept notifying me of incoming messages. I think I got really angry."

"I think I've been loved too! My distant relative, who's practically a ghost from the Saint Parknia Planet, contacted me personally to see what's going on!"

After a moment, the group, having checked each other's messages, fell silent. "..."

Someone broke the silence. "... So it wasn't us who became famous, we just got blinded by Qin Su's fame and started to have hallucinations."

"Haha, I knew it! How could anyone possibly miss me, someone who barely manages to maintain a semblance of dignity on Godforsaken Planet?"

I deeply regret my previous skepticism.

"The group tours and donations organized by various departments on different planets alone amount to a considerable sum of money. Even Leichakan has reached this point."

'What a pity.'

Some people feel regret.

'This was Qin Su's idea; they can only look at the money, they can't use it.'

After Dolores briefly shared the information she had gleaned from her conversation with Qin Su during the banquet with Chester, the two of them checked their Optical Brain, which had been constantly receiving notifications throughout the banquet.

The two didn't speak, but glanced at each other and then simultaneously turned their gaze to the crowd in the distance, immediately realizing that their situations were roughly the same.

Dolores withdrew her gaze, glanced at Chester, said goodbye, and strode away with her people.

'No matter how much profit there is, he can only look on without ever touching it. This time, Chester is in for a rough time.'

She was transferred from the Federation to Leichakan. Although Leichakan Planet's situation was somewhat better after it joined the Federation, there were still many problems accumulated over the years. Leichakan's poverty over the years was due to many internal reasons in addition to the war.

Chester watched Dolores's retreating figure, and recalling the slightly mocking look in her eyes, the smile on his face gradually faded. The military and political division in Leichakan had long been a facade, and he and Dolores had a long-standing feud. He could tell at a glance that she was waiting to see how he would satisfy the appetites of the wolves who had pushed him to his current position, given that he couldn't touch the cake 'made' by Qin Su. If he, as the Executive, wasn't going to do it, there were plenty of others who would.

--

Throughout dinner, Qin Su appeared indifferent, but in reality, he was in a great mood because the students' spontaneous mobilization had led to an even greater increase in his already surging Life Points due to the Vaccine and the Living Dead incident.

Having Class 6) is truly a blessing for him.

No one is indifferent to the potential dangers of Virus that directly affect them. Even planets that were previously isolated from the world, because of their poverty and the high likelihood of becoming the next target, issued an official global statement within their planets, drawing more people into the protests against inhumane Virus.

The discussion sparked by this inhumane Virus event has spread to almost every planet, and naturally, the controversy surrounding his actions continues to grow.

Only a small minority share the same attitude as the Leichakan Empire; the vast majority of the planet's inhabitants hope that his seemingly inhumane approach this time will bring lasting peace and resolve their potential crisis.

The scales tipped in his favor, resulting in a steadily increasing level of goodwill as the discussion grew.

The Life Points gained from Real World bullet comments are incomparable to the favorability points generated by the countless planetary inhabitants in the Interstellar World.

Now, his Life Points has increased from over 210 years when he first arrived to 327 years, a gain of over 100 years.

He no longer had to worry about not living past the average lifespan of Interstellar People; now that he could live to a ripe old age, he was much more confident than before.

He finally had the right to ask the system the question that had always been on his mind, "777, Interstellar People Earthling live longer and age slower than Real World. Does that mean Real World as long as I exceed the average Interstellar People lifespan by a sufficient amount and extend my own lifespan, the rate of aging will not keep up with me?"

While the aura of age varies, an overly aged face can easily evoke thoughts of death, which is detrimental to future popularity growth.

Back in the Real World, he privately compared the popularity of different comic book characters, and found that older comic book characters rarely matched the popularity of younger, middle-aged, or teenage comic book characters.

He had seen his father in the Apocalypse World, when he shed his disguise and appeared noticeably younger than when he was disguised in the Real World. Although he hadn't seen his mother's, he assumed her situation was similar, and he wondered if he could do the same.

Compared to the 'decline of a hero,' 'immortality' is obviously more effective in mythologizing oneself, leaving an indelible and unique memory in the hearts of Viewers both on and off screen, and implicitly aligning with their judgment that 'he really is a god.'

[Correct answer!] 777 couldn't help but tease in a low voice, [I never expected that someone as fearless as you in the dorm would be afraid of these things.]

"I am human," Qin Su whispered before returning to the Real World after sending out the arrangements for the Fourth Military Academy for the next two days, "Not a real god."

"..."

Wait a minute, something sounds off about what he just said. It sounds like he's insulting himself?

In short, the fear of death was his instinct as a human being.

Only he knew that for this day, he was so anxious that he would check all the information he had collected over and over again, constantly adjusting his plans according to real-time changes, but it did not alleviate his increasingly severe anxiety in the slightest. If he hadn't been stuck on the Life Points bug, given his extremely sleepless and anxious state as soon as he opened his eyes, he would have died a thousand times over.

Originally, he and the students of Class 6) were to Hyperspace Jump away either tonight or tomorrow. Chester and the others arrived, and he decided to stay a little longer. For the next two days, he would stay in the Real World and attend classes diligently. During the gathering, Chester and the others indicated that they would stay here for a while. If Chester and his group could not find him, they would turn their attention to the students of Class 6).

(Class 6 6 the opportunity to expand their networks based on their own abilities.

777:[...]

It didn't dare say it, thinking that Qin Su had long forgotten that he was human after so many battles, but it never expected that Qin Su would remain true to his original intentions.

--

(Class 6 stayed in Leichakan for two more days. During this time, the situation was basically the same as Qin Su had predicted.

On the third day, Qin Su briefly returned to the Comic World and led the Fourth Military Academy students away from Leichakan.

Disappearing from everyone's sight, Qin Su seemed not to see the excited expressions on the faces of the students in Class 6. He returned to the cockpit on his own, set up the Hyperspace Jump landing point, handed the Spaceship over to the system for inspection, and returned to the Real World to continue his tutoring under the double guarantee.

(Class 6 saw that Aiseboer hadn't spoken to Qin Su, they felt relieved and began to summarize the information they had gathered over the past two days in front of Aiseboer.

In the other three classes, most students in the two senior classes had mixed feelings, while no one in the junior classes wanted to offend anyone, so they all tacitly avoided being on the same Spaceship as Qin Su and (Class 6.

While He Muzhi was responsible for recording the situation of his group, he also had some thoughts on Temple.

He had expected Temple to leave again, but he hadn't anticipated that Temple would leave sooner than he thought, and that the Optical Brain wouldn't respond, leaving him completely unprepared and filled with worry.

On the Spaceship, four hours passed. The new recruits of Class 6 at the Fourth Military Academy looked at the data compiled from the information they had shared with each other. Some of them made up their minds to silently submit their own data.

Once the first person started, others followed suit and filled out the personal information forms that He Muzhi had previously sent out.

Whether it's this collaboration or now, the people from the original (Class 6 don't seem to have any intention of holding anything back from them. They've been pretending to be clueless and stiff, as if they have very thick skin.

Adhering to the principle of knowing yourself and your enemy, you will win every battle. The original (Class 6 started to memorize the material without any reservations in front of the new (Class 6.

--

After a period of Hyperspace Jump, the group from the Fourth Military Academy returned to the Fourth Military Academy.

The Spaceship landed, the basic handover was completed, and seeing that Qin Su had no intention of lingering, Aiseboer rushed towards Qin Su.

"Qin Su, wait a minute!"

Qin Su stopped in his tracks and looked at Aiseboer, who was rushing towards him in three steps.

"Here's the thing, someone from higher up contacted me and wants to keep one vial of Vaccine. Is that possible?"

When Class 6) was in charge of recording, he went to check if there was a chance. Class 6) didn't give him any face at all. After the recording was finished, when he went to check again the next day, all the remaining Vaccines had disappeared without a trace. It was obviously Qin Su who did it.

"No way." Qin Su refused without even thinking about leaving someone else with leverage over him.

"Okay, I understand." Qin Su's answer was exactly as expected. Aiseboer didn't press the matter, ended the conversation, stepped aside, and watched Qin Su leave with a smile.

He considered his task complete once he had asked, and by not pressing the issue, he avoided offending either side.

As soon as Qin Su left, Aiseboer relayed Qin Su's answer truthfully. A short while later, upon seeing the message from the other end, Aiseboer was completely bewildered. His smile vanished instantly, and he turned and ran after Qin Su, calling out, "Qin Su, could you please wait a moment longer!"

'They didn't even inform us beforehand that the Modified Humans from Planetary Military Districts had arrived at the Fourth Military Academy! They didn't even mention that they were gathered outside waiting right now. Aren't they afraid that Qin Su might suddenly see them and, if he's in a bad mood, wipe them all out at the drop of a hat?'
