Chapter 254
After ending the communication, Aiseboer thought about it and still felt uneasy, so he dispatched several more patrol teams over.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Qin Su; rather, he simply couldn't believe him.
--
The moment they sensed movement from Spaceship Jump Channel, the crew inside the Spaceship were already 'fighting' amongst themselves to get away from the hatch.
When the Spaceship finally landed, the originally crowded Spaceship suddenly had an empty space at the hatch where no one could stand.
After Qin Su's careful selection, this Spaceship that returned from Balenman was so well-suited that if you threw a brick down from it, you'd hit a whole bunch of descendants of 'royal power and wealth'. Their family backgrounds and even their domineering temperaments were evenly matched, and none of them would give way to the others. Who knows if a burst of gunfire would erupt as soon as the hatch opened? Nobody wanted to be closest to danger when they didn't know what was going on outside. Even those who were temporarily pushed to the front didn't stop squeezing to the back, and there was no 'peace' to be found.
During the scuffle, they were well aware of the power of the various types of weapons they carried, and to avoid others imitating them and attacking each other in a fit of rage, they all tacitly agreed not to use their weapons.
The Spaceship returned to its original position, and Qin Su released control of Spaceship.
Everyone at the Fourth Military Academy knows that the vice Principal is in charge of all matters concerning Class 6). However, with such a huge amount of attention surrounding 'Qin Su' and so many eyes watching, it's impossible for the people at the Jump Point to only tell the vice Principal the news that 'the Spaceship Qin Su took away has returned on its own'.
Upon arrival in Aiseboer, the area was divided into several checkpoints, both inside and outside of which were teeming with people.
The more people he saw, the more at ease Aiseboer felt. If so many people from a normal school were gathered outside an 'unknown' Spaceship, he would worry, and the school would try to stop it. But this was a military Military Academy; if something really happened, it would be a great training exercise within the school.
Upon seeing Aiseboer, the crowd began asking questions incessantly.
"Is Class 6 back?"
What's inside the Spaceship?
"Did something happen to Balenman that caused him to come back early?"
"Vice Principal, could you share some information with me?"
Aiseboer still didn't know what Qin Su's so-called gift was. As he walked along the campus patrol team, he resolutely refused to miss this good opportunity to boost his own reputation, and would occasionally reply with a few words that were in his favor.
"What nonsense are you thinking? The exercise isn't over yet, Class 6) is still in Balenman."
"Huh? How did you know Qin Su was still thinking of me while he was away, and even sent me a gift back in Spaceship?"
Haha, congratulations to you too!
A few words, yet they reveal a blatant boasting.
"No, who congratulated him?"
"Anyway, it wasn't me. I figured the vice Principal was too arrogant, so I tripped him. The patrol team leader clearing the way glared at me fiercely."
"It wasn't me either; I was busy gritting my teeth."
"I don't know what he's pretending for. Judging from the way they're surrounding the Spaceship, how could it be a gift? Who needs to be armed to open a gift? It can't possibly be a gift... Hmm, but then again, if the gift comes from Qin Su, anything is possible. After all, what's dangerous to us in Qin Su's eyes is nothing to him. It's not entirely impossible that he would give it away as a gift."
Once inside after passing through the verification checkpoint, the leaders, teachers, and instructors closely monitored Aiseboer's movements. They had already gathered a general idea of what was happening outside Aiseboer through the students' loud cheers or lip-reading.
Before Aiseboer could start showing off, the staff at the Jump Point, having received a signal from the school leaders, jogged up to Aiseboer and said, "Access is open, please check the link quickly."
Many people present were waiting for Aiseboer to connect and check the interior of the Spaceship.
Aiseboer glanced at the patrol soldiers who obeyed him and surrounded the newly landed Spaceship with their weapons. He nodded slightly to them, took a deep breath, and cautiously connected to his personal Optical Brain.
Seeing the familiar faces inside the Spaceship, faces he could never have reached in the past, Aiseboer's pupils dilated in shock.
Based on his experience, he could only recognize a small fraction of the people inside the Spaceship.
The Spaceship came from Balenman, and it was covered in various expensive-looking modifications. Given Qin Su's style, it was highly unlikely that he would have specifically selected a few notoriously difficult Modified Humans he knew from among Balenman's large crew and sent them back on the Fourth Military Academy's Spaceship. Adding to Spaceship, the crew's competitive and uncompromising behavior...
Aiseboer had a sudden epiphany and understood instantly.
This group of people are all highly skilled Modified Humans with backgrounds in various Military District and Military Academies.
Combining this with the subtle hints Qiu Pang and the others had given him earlier... something must have happened to Balenman, and these people were very likely 'eliminated' by Qin Su, deliberately presented as gifts to him. It's highly probable that Qin Su didn't kill them, intending to make use of them?
Their "parents" want them to return safely; what benefits could he possibly gain in return that money couldn't buy?
"!"
Excessive excitement caused Aiseboer's throat to become dry as he swallowed, and his restless emotions swelled rapidly in his chest.
Recalling the series of actions Qin Su had taken that he couldn't believe when he arrived, Aiseboer was filled with regret and wished he could slap himself twice.
'He deserves to die.'
'From now on, if he ever doubts Qin Su's intentions again, he'll take Qin Su's surname!'
[I'm not saying anything bad about you, the vice Principal, but you not only got such a great deal for free, but you also rewarded yourself with food and drinks after making a vow? These parents of those 'bratty kids' are afraid of Qin Su and don't dare to take it from you directly. Hehe, congratulations! (rolls eyes)]
[Aiseboer: @All Planetary Elites: Your kids are in my hands, so hurry up and offer your prices (grinning)]
[Now that we've the Pick-Up King, shouldn't it be my turn? (scratching head)]
[If you ask me, with Qin Su not around, those people on the Spaceship are far too cowardly. They should have united and launched a big attack; even if they died, it would have been worth it.]
Everyone knows that the God Su are omnipresent, and they are all self-centered, with the whole world revolving around them. You expect them to unite? Dream on! Besides, these people are destined for endless wealth and luxury from birth, barring any unforeseen circumstances. Their only thought is to survive, go back to being emperors, OK?
"What's wrong with you?"
"Tell us what you saw! What good will it do you to keep us waiting?"
Those watching Aiseboer closely observed Aiseboer every move, their expressions shifting rapidly, a mixture of anticipation and unease settling in on them.
"Ahem." Aiseboer took a deep breath, raised his hand to rub his face, adjusted his expression, and looked at his colleagues. The smile on his lips was harder to suppress than if he were holding the most powerful weapon. "It's nothing, I just woke up to find myself living a good life, I'm just a little dazed."
"..."
Everyone tried their best to control their twitching facial expressions.
'Judging from their smug attitude, there's definitely something good on the Spaceship.'
'If it weren't for Qin Su's sake, they would have really wanted to pull out a shoehorn and slap Aiseboer's smug, obnoxious face!'
"Don't be envious, after all, this is a blessing you can only dream of." With the help of his assistant, Aiseboer put on the highest level of protective Combat Suit from the Fourth Military Academy.
Although he knew that the people inside the Spaceship would most likely not dare to make a move under Qin Su's omnipresent threat, he felt that he, as a mere mortal, could not be too cautious when facing the Modified Humans.
Seeing Aiseboer's sullen face, someone made a sarcastic remark.
Be careful, too much joy can turn to sorrow.
"Dear Vice Principal, have you ever heard the saying, 'Every gift comes with a price'?"
"I won't take those sarcastic remarks to heart. My fine qualities and noble character are rapidly growing thanks to the generous gifts from this Spaceship." Having finished dressing, Aiseboer left with these words.
Aiseboer did not show what he saw inside the Spaceship, and the others did not dare to approach, remaining in place and staring at the direction Aiseboer had gone, full of anticipation.
Standing in front of the hatch, after confirming once again that everyone surrounding the Spaceship was fully armed, Aiseboer opened the hatch.
Inside the Spaceship, the Modified Humans, busy trying to retreat, suddenly noticed the tightly closed hatch abruptly open. Their eyes all turned forward, their bodies on high alert, their weapons poised for attack.
"Don't be nervous. Let me introduce myself. I am Aiseboer, the former Principal the Former Zerg Fourth Military Academy. Thanks to Qin Su, I am now the vice Principal of the Fourth Military Academy." Aiseboer, hiding behind layers of defenses, didn't want any unnecessary sacrifices due to misunderstandings. He raised his voice to state his position, not forgetting to mention Qin Su's name in order to make those inside wary. "Qin Su has entrusted you to my full authority, but I have absolutely no intention of harming your lives."
A few words were not enough to put the people inside the Spaceship at ease.
In particular, through the open hatch, they could see all sorts of weapons aimed at them from the outside.
Although those weapons couldn't harm them in the short term, after what happened with Balenman, who knew if Aiseboer was playing a game of politeness before resorting to force, deliberately aiming at them with useless weapons so that if they made any moves, Qin Su would have a perfect excuse to annihilate them all with targeted weapons.
The Fourth Military Academy personnel who followed Aiseboer in their Combat Suit also got a good look at the people inside the cabin. With just a quick glance, they saw many familiar faces of extraordinary backgrounds, almost dropping their jaws in astonishment. They immediately understood why Aiseboer had been so arrogant and self-righteous a few minutes earlier—he was simply suffering from envy in a physical sense.
Any one of them would be overjoyed by such a grand gift.
"Hiss... Only the lawless Qin Su would dare to do something as terrifying as sending a group of 'prodigies' around as gifts. So here's the question: these people were supposed to be in Balenman for an exercise, but now they're here, so the exercise is definitely off. What about the other Modified Humans? Will they stay in Balenman, or will they be sent around as gifts by Qin Su to various Military Academies like them?"
"You really think they're your partners, showering them with gifts here and there? Or do you think Qin Su is the type to do something as pointless as 'I think your Modified Humans are pretty good, now they're mine'?"
"It would be good if they sent it, but the worst thing would be if they detained it instead. That would be a huge problem, making our Fourth Military Academy offend a large number of other Military Academies and their respective Military District, which would be tantamount to a rebellion."
"What a wild imagination! If Qin Su was interested in that position, he wouldn't even need to say anything; he could just sit there and no one would dare to object. Besides, there are only forty-odd classes of Modified Humans; it wouldn't be necessary to go to such lengths. It's probably because he doesn't like them and is just throwing them out as a gift for that guy Aiseboer, or just idly provoking the families behind these people for fun?"
