Chapter 223

He Muzhi was delayed by the teachers and was the last to board the Spaceship. When he entered the Spaceship, he saw everyone sitting in their seats talking to the people next to them. He glanced around and saw his group members and the seat they had reserved for him. He relaxed and subconsciously stepped over.

After taking two steps, He Muzhi suddenly stopped and looked carefully at the seating area of the students inside the Spaceship.

He Muzhi had no idea what he was seeing before, but when he finally looked, he was shocked.

Class 6) was divided into 20 groups according to Qin Su's assignment to Class 6), and the groups were distributed locally.

Did Class 6 have this habit before?

He Muzhi thought back carefully and suddenly realized that Class 6) was 'wild' at the beginning and did not have such behavior habits at all. No matter where they went or what they did, they would all get together in a mess.

The change began when Qin Su grouped them into teams.

Whether at the Fourth Military Fourth Military Academy of the Zerg Fourth Military Academy or now, under Qin Su's group system, during daily training and field missions, they have all unconsciously developed a behavior pattern centered on the group they were assigned to.

He Muzhi seemed to remember something again. Hearing the sound of the Spaceship door closing behind him, he did not take any steps forward. Then he thought of Qin Su's arrangements for each of their group members. He opened his personal Optical Brain and opened the internship arrangement document for Class 6) announced by Qin Su. He planned to use his own group as a test and carefully check the whereabouts of each member in his group.

He Muzhi had thought he would need to extract each member of his group from the 999-person list, but to his surprise, as soon as the page opened, he saw that the first few members were all from his "Group 1".

There was absolutely no need for him to 'collect' them one by one.

By reviewing the assigned list, he confirmed with his own eyes that, as he had suspected, although they were not on the same planet or in the same place, the internship departments assigned to each group member were almost identical, only with different roles.

Everyone in Class 6 knows that their Class Monitor, Qin Su, never does anything meaningless.

So...

'It was all Qin Su's deliberate doing.'

He Muzhi's pupils dilated, and he unconsciously looked up at the Electronic Eyes that were sometimes moving and sometimes stationary around the Spaceship.

Qin Su watched He Muzhi's every move through the Electronic Eye and guessed that He Muzhi might have discovered his deliberate practice of grouping each group together. He was likely to make a second confirmation based on the arrangement list he had announced. However, he did not expect that He Muzhi would look at the Electronic Eye after looking at the list.

Caught off guard, Qin Su met He Muzhi's gaze through the Electronic Eyes. His face remained calm, but he was actually startled for a moment.

"..."

'It wasn't that he intentionally wanted to spy on them, but he was just putting Class 6 in such a terrible environment that he couldn't feel at ease without keeping an eye on them. If something really happened to anyone in Class 6, he would be guilty of a grave sin and it would damage his public image.'

He stared at the Electronic Eye for a few seconds, He Muzhi face calm but his emotions churning.

'There are two possibilities. One is that Qin Su most likely anticipated he would check the list and guessed what he was thinking, anticipating his prediction and deliberately arranging the group assignments in advance. Qin Su was using this method to tell himself that he knew everything; the other is... Qin Su openly displayed his intentions, unafraid that anyone would discover it.'

Regardless of which possibility...

He Muzhi blinked, withdrawing his gaze from the Electronic Eye; he had a lingering feeling.

Qin Su was watching them constantly.

"He Muzhi, what's wrong?"

The Spaceship had already Hyperspace Jump, He Muzhi's body was swaying obviously, clearly in a daze. Most of the people in Class 6 looked at He Muzhi with doubt.

"Ahem, it's nothing." He Muzhi steadied himself and responded awkwardly, turning off his personal Optical Brain and walking to the seat that his team members had vacated for him.

He Muzhi had just sat down when he heard Sophia's voice.

"Dear classmates, not long ago we will be going to different places temporarily. Before that, I think we need to put aside all the random thoughts in our minds and focus on the present. For example, how about we discuss the significance of our Class Monitor's arrangements for this holiday?"

Agreed.

"Support."

I mean the same thing.

No one objected. Sophia clapped her hands as she sat down. "In that case, let's begin. I'll go first. When we looked at the internship assignments, we checked them, and everyone was assigned to the territory of a 'rival' with whom we or our families have some grudges. Can I assume the Class Monitor wants us to cause trouble?"

"I feel like this is meant to show us the wickedness of human nature."

"If that's what you're saying, why can't we conquer our enemies with our finer virtues, influence them to turn them into friends, and then have a happy reunion like making dumplings?"

"It would be better to send us to sow discord among them and cause chaos."

"If you can sow discord like that," Raymond said, a sudden inspiration striking him. "Then why not rebel and take charge on the enemy's turf?"

"... What makes you think you can make decisions for the other side when you're just an intern with no salary or position? Raymond, I know you have wild ideas, but can you be a little more rational? Besides, you're going to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, not the Military District. Can you stop thinking about fighting all the time? To be honest, apart from your strong physical abilities, you're not very good at commanding or devising battle strategies. You can't make decisions about rebellion. Based on our recent unusual mental state, I think the Class Monitor has definitely noticed and thinks we have poor stress tolerance, so he's sending us to practice."

"Alright then." Raymond looked at his arms with a regretful expression. "Looks like my fists will be useless for at least this holiday."

Qin Su: "..."

"That's premature. Given the circumstances of being targeted, Raymond's job will definitely be difficult, and the places he goes will certainly be unsafe. If he can't win through words or persuasion, then his basic martial arts skills will come in handy."

He didn't believe Raymond, who said he wouldn't submit; did he think he could fight him to the death?

(Class 6 chattered for half an hour without reaching a conclusion. Finally He Muzhi, looking at the students' comments that he had been recording, summarized. "I think everyone's points are very reasonable, so should we pay attention to these aspects?"

I agree.

"+ Identity ID."

(Class 6 just nodded mechanically.

'The main problem is that no one in Class 6 can actually figure out Qin Su's thoughts; they can only try to have it all.'

"Everything that happens and everything you see during your internship must be recorded truthfully. In addition, we agree to have a group video call once a week to keep track of each other's progress. If you encounter any problems during the internship, just let us know in our 999 Group chat, and whoever sees it will answer. That's all I wanted to say. Does anyone have anything to add?"

"After all, we're on someone else's turf. As long as our lives aren't in danger, I think we should learn to compromise and not trust anyone on the enemy's side."

"That's right, we're the newcomers. I suggest everyone lie low for now, observe more and do less, and act only after we've gained a better understanding."

"Although we've been assigned to an unfamiliar place, we have classmates who have been there before. How about we compare our experiences and start by understanding the 'enemy camp' from within?"

I think it's a good idea!

After a while, He Muzhi watched as his classmates, whose group order had been disrupted, asked different classmates about their destinations. He hesitated for a moment, but still decided not to tell everyone what he had noticed after entering the Spaceship.

Even after verifying it twice, it was still just his own guess, and ultimately there was no evidence.

Although... he only needed to ask Qin Su to find out if his guess was true or false, after what happened last time, He Muzhi found himself somewhat afraid to ask Qin Su any questions in private anymore.

Seeing that the students of Class 6) had just guessed his 'intentions' and immediately used the available resources to understand the 'enemy's situation,' Qin Su, who was watching from the screen, was once again impressed by the superb self-management ability of Class 6).

Almost every time he only needed to throw out a 'bait', (Class 6 would spontaneously expand on every little detail.

A day passed, and all 999 students in Class 6) left the Fourth Military Academy's Spaceship, each carrying their temporary access privileges and luggage, and went their separate ways.

In the first few days, no matter where the students from Class 6 went, the other Class 6 felt disgusted as if they had swallowed flies when they saw them because of the estrangement between them and their families. Since they were from Class 6, the other party patiently maintained a superficial peace and secretly sent them away to places where they could not see them and would not be bothered.

Before the arrival of the students from Class 6, they had already anticipated the situations they might face. Although they felt somewhat uncomfortable, they endured it.

Both sides are in a phase of mutual probing, and things are proceeding peacefully.

After some time, the various departments that had to take over the students of Class 6) were assigned by their superiors. After repeated tests of open praise and covert suppression, they determined that Qin Su had no intention of intervening and gradually loosened their grip on the matter.

Even after being released, he still did not receive any reprimand from his superiors, which meant that Qin Su still had no intention of intervening. Given the existing grudges, he could no longer tolerate it and became even more unscrupulous.

When the first group video call between Class 6 and the Class 6 999 students was scheduled, they were shocked to see that each student was in a different situation, but the good ones were not much better, and the bad ones were even worse.

After a brief silence, a series of voices rang out.

"No, is everyone doing so badly?"

"Phew, that scared me to death. I'm much relieved to see that everyone's situation is about the same."

"Then what about all the effort I put into finding a nice-looking environment before making a video? Does that mean I had nothing better to do?"

"My heart is at peace now."

"Haha, finally I don't have to worry about being laughed at anymore."

"Luckily, the Class Monitor didn't see us looking like this."

"Make sure you do it right! Your hairstyle can be messy, your clothes can be dirty, but the Class Monitor absolutely cannot see it!"

Since everyone was at the same level, the (Class 6 channel, which had previously been worried about being ridiculed, was suddenly filled with laughter.

Unable to join the 999 Group, Qin Su could only listen to his classmates' chatter via a personal Optical Brain: "..."

'It's okay, he can pretend he didn't see anything.'

"Raymond, I remember you went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, so why is your Combat Suit covered in all this mess? No, that's not Federation combat... wait, why are you wearing Combat Suit? And carrying weapons? If it weren't for your ID, I wouldn't recognize you! You finally decided to rebel and take charge in enemy territory, and then fought alone and got beaten to this state?" Jeffrey looked shocked.

"Buy my ass!" Raymond exclaimed, utterly dejected. "I'd only been on the job a few days when they assigned me, an intern, to an overseas post. Good heavens! I was so thrilled, thinking that no amount of humility could hide my immense talent, which is why I was entrusted with such a responsibility. Now..."

Raymond stealthily raised his head and began to spin around, his Optical Brain displaying the scene of broken walls and ruins all around him.

Boom boom--

Before he could even show his classmates the surroundings, a series of bombings rang out. Raymond cursed under his breath and quickly rolled into a temporarily safe corner.

The bombing roared as Raymond tumbled down, yelling, "Nobody told me our overseas post was on the Xievisuo Planet!"

Zevisto, the famous war planet.

The wars were so frequent that the Executive was replaced on average every three months.

"Doesn't the Federation have a dedicated overseas area in Zevisto? Where are you now?"

"I have some bad news to share. Just now, three minutes ago, the Federation's headquarters on Xievisuo Planet was bombed into the state you see here. What's even more shocking is that, haha, you might not believe it, but during their retreat, whether it was intentional or not, nobody notified me of the evacuation. Neither the Warships nor the Spaceships took me with them?!"

"So, congratulations everyone! From now on, I, Raymond, will be living a comfortable life of hardship, and becoming a valuable sample for the Federation's research on savages is just around the corner!"

(Class 6: "..."

Some people may seem fine, but they've actually been acting crazy for a while now.

Because Raymond was in such a miserable state, (Class 6 people were too embarrassed to say that he had to live first in order to have the chance to become a savage.

Suddenly noticing something in his Visual Helmet, Raymond raised his hand in a shushing gesture. "From what I've observed, the Rebels are very likely to take power next month. My new teammates are arriving soon, so I'm joining the Rebels now. We'll talk next time!"

[That's too cruel! I'm just a simple-minded rich kid, and now I not only have to face betrayal from my own side, but I also have to play the Rebels in this godforsaken place. Next time we meet, Raymond won't be leading the Rebels to bomb the people who abandoned him, will he?]

[Given Raymond's seemingly cheerful but secretly vengeful nature, it's not impossible.]

"..."

(Class 6 listened to Raymond's last words and saw the image belonging to Raymond disappear. They finally understood what the messy patterns on Raymond's face and clothes meant.

'Some people are feigning madness, but they've already planned their escape route. Those who sympathized with Raymond before were just clowns!'

As soon as Raymond left, everyone's attention fell on He Muzhi whereabouts were unknown.

"He Muzhi, what's wrong with you?"

When called upon, He Muzhi maintained his composure, lowering his voice to lie without changing his expression. "I'm fine. My teammates nearby are all sleeping, so it's not convenient for everyone to see too much."

In fact, he was even more unlucky than Raymond. He was sent directly to the battlefield and encountered Cyborg Army. Due to the vast disparity in equipment between the two sides, he was captured.

Since everyone is far away from each other, if he were to tell the truth about his situation, it would only cause everyone unnecessary worry and affect his classmates, without changing anything. So he might as well keep it a secret.

[Only reporting good news, not bad! Oh, someone save our Shepherd! What's with that Cyborg Army? Why are they roaming around committing crimes? They arrest people on one planet, then move on to another!]

[I strongly suspect that He Muzhi's arrest was largely due to his own bad luck.]

[Doesn't anyone think that Qin Su was really too cruel to put the innocent and foolish students of Class 6 into such a dangerous environment?]

How can one be worthy of being a member of Class 6 without experiencing trials and tribulations?

"Sophia, what about you?" He Muzhi asked, drawing the students' attention away from him. "It looks like a detention room."

Sophia waved her hand dismissively, "I'm fine, it's just a small mistake. I'll be released soon. I know what I'm doing."

The truth is, under the cover of darkness, avoiding the Electronic Eye, she put a bag over her superior's head and punched him. Not only was he giving her trouble, but he also wanted to kill her. What could she do but make sure he lay in bed for a while and behaved himself? Who knew he couldn't find any evidence and, without any proof, found a flimsy excuse to put her in solitary confinement? It was utterly infuriating...

'Now we have a target to beat up next, congratulations!'

[Finding joy in hardship]

[Sophia: This time it doesn't count, but you'll do it again next time!]

"Me, me, me? Why is no one calling me? Let me tell you..."

After listening carefully for a long time, until Class 6) finished the video, Qin Su summarized the students' remarks based on what he actually saw and what he heard from them. "Take big things down and small things away; even if you break your teeth, you have to swallow them."

In other words, how could it not be that the feelings of the 999 people in Class 6 were deeper than he imagined?

Qin Su: "..."

'I hope they never unite against me.'

(Class 6 6, and the second video arrived.

As Qin Su listened to his classmates talk, he also watched their videos. Their condition was similar to what he had seen through various channels, and overall, they were much better than in the last video.

Clearly, after a period of adjustment, the students have begun to 'fight back'.

Qin Su stopped looking at it and opened a new page on his Optical Brain, dragging the people on the list into the video with one click.

In an instant, countless people from different planets and locations, whether walking on the street, on a Spaceship, in an office, or in a meeting, entered the same video channel without any warning.

Many people suddenly saw their Optical Brain screens open, and on the other side of the screen, besides themselves, there were many other faces, some familiar and some unfamiliar, who looked surprised at the sudden appearance of them, and they fell into a brief silence.

Someone tried to hang up and found that everything else on the Optical Brain was normal, but they couldn't leave the video page.

What's going on?!

"Who started this?" someone asked, and a series of puzzled voices followed.

"It wasn't me."

"It wasn't me either."

"Whose prank is this? Turn it off right now."

"Why is the middle part black? Who played this prank?"

"Are you sure it's a prank? I have a bad feeling about this. For the sake of our acquaintance, I advise you not to say anything reckless."

[Although I can't see the God Su's page, I can tell at a glance it's God Su work. Shall I bet a pack of spicy strips on it?]

[Heh, another freeloading attempt. Only our Boss 1 could pull off something like this.]

[If King Su pulls them all together at once, wouldn't that expose them all, making everyone aware that the other is King Su?]

Aren't they afraid someone will expose them? What if a traitor infiltrates? They could make a fortune selling that information.

[But you have to be alive to earn it and live to spend it.]

After careful inspection, confirming that all those recommended by the students of Class 6 for their 'internship' had entered, and that no one who shouldn't have been there had entered, Qin Su then spoke up, "Excuse me, it's me."

Suddenly, a familiar voice was heard, and the previous cacophony vanished in an instant.

That voice... Qin Su!

No one knows them better than those who have heard about them countless times, both openly and privately; they would never mistake them for someone else.

So, what did Qin Su mean by doing this?

On the page, after a brief blank in their minds upon hearing Qin Su's voice, countless people immediately began to ponder Qin Su's intentions while silently trying to capture the people appearing in the video, all while trying to suppress the shock in their eyes. Even so, when the people in the video looked at each other, they could still see undisguised astonishment in each other's eyes.

If Qin Su brought them here, the meaning would be completely different from a prank.

'How can this not be considered Qin Su actively revealing his relationship with them?'

What terrified everyone even more was that Qin Su had not informed them in advance, forcefully deciding to arrange this 'meeting' for them. And what they were seeing was merely the tip of the iceberg that Qin Su wanted them to see.

Those who didn't see it... are they not qualified to see it at their current level?

Or is Qin Su deliberately protecting them?

Wait, does that mean they're not worth protecting after being exposed?

A series of uneasy thoughts flashed through everyone's minds. No matter what, they dared not imagine how many other people like them had been silently controlled by Qin Su.

Unbeknownst to them, Qin Su had already woven an impenetrable net around them, a realization that made everyone in the video feel incredibly oppressed and suffocated.
