Chapter 257

"Yes, we're in a group and have our own channel, but we're used to having the entire channel on, ready to be assigned tasks by the Class Monitor at any time. Of course, even if we don't have it on, the Class Monitor can still find us."

Hong Yuanzhou forced a stiff smile, "Then I'd better not..."

Seeing the new group members' hesitant manner, Sophia immediately understood and couldn't help but laugh as she interrupted, "You're not worried that our Class Monitor will hear what you want to say, are you? You wish! Why would the Class Monitor be interested in listening to our rambling? Let me tell you the truth, the Class Monitor only opens the Communication Channel to talk to us for a short while when he has an order to issue."

Having gone down a path of no return in betraying his classmates' trust, Qin Su continued to feign death and eavesdrop.

It's impossible to correct; it's impossible for a lifetime.

"But then again," Hong Yuanzhou changed the subject, loosening his grip on Sophia's weapon slightly, "You taught us, and even let us directly bind Random Code Subprocess, aren't you afraid we'll 'betray our master and kill him'?"

These weapons, which can threaten their lives, each have a dedicated small process that receives random codes and provides each user with a limited-time binding.

To ensure that even if the code is stolen, it cannot be used for too long, the random code is refreshed every three minutes. Each time, the new random code must be mentally embedded into the weapon in hand to unlock it before it can be used again.

Upon hearing that someone had taken their place, most of the other Military Academy personnel, who had been silent during the Full-Band Communication, held their breath in suspense.

Those who joined Class 6) later immediately shared their experience upon hearing this.

"Don't overthink it. Our Class Monitor always trusts those he employs and doesn't use those he doesn't trust. When we first joined Class 6), Class Monitor gave us absolute trust. Our group leader is right about the 'Class Monitor's trust.' You don't need to feel honored or mistakenly think that you are exceptionally talented and that's why the Class Monitor entrusted you with important responsibilities. We were the first batch."

"That's right, we are superior, you are inferior."

"..."

The other Military Academy students felt the heavy weight of the weapons in their hands, yet inexplicably experienced a deep sense of powerlessness.

You can't get past this 'venerable one'?

(Class 6 so petty? Can't they just give them some newbie perks and let them have some... wait, why did they just tacitly and smoothly 'join'?

"Fine, huh? If you're convinced, then hurry up and get to it. Here, like this, unlock it, pull it, then drag it horizontally."

To make it clear for the new members, Sophia deliberately slowed down her movements and then held up a component that Qin Su had provided for them to demonstrate, positioned diagonally below it.

"In actual combat, try to aim this gun at this spot and fire as much as possible. Based on our past experience, firing at this spot more than ten times will cause it to malfunction, resulting in the enemy's movement becoming stuck or malfunctioning. Keep firing, and it will eventually be destroyed. Understand?"

The new member, whose body had been modified and whose parts were used by Sophia, shrank back in resistance, felt a phantom pain, and secretly rejoiced that although he had the same parts, he had not yet become the 'enemy' of Class 6).

"Clear."

"... Um."

Sophia snapped, "Demonstrate it now."

Having survived numerous modifications to this day, the Modified Humans are quite capable in every aspect. Moreover, when confined to their cubicles, their Optical Brain couldn't connect to the internet normally, so they could only repeatedly look at the data on various weapons, Warships, Spaceships, etc. provided by the Military District, and then adjust them to simulated mode for solo exercises. They were basically familiar with the weapons on the market. Although the special weapons specifically designed for Modified Humans had some unique structures, their operation methods were largely the same, and they quickly learned how to use them.

Having confirmed that none of the new members had made mistakes, Sophia stepped aside from the center and gestured, "Zong Ling, go."

Each group member in Class 6) was assigned one or more "hands-on teaching" projects. After Sophia finished hers, she moved to the side to give instructions. "You guys should also quickly change the weapons you have in your hands to those in Numbered Box 3127."

"OK." Zong Ling picked up the cannon barrel and walked to the center of the display area, continuing to pass on past practical experience to the new team members.

After Zong Ling finished teaching, the next Class 6) immediately took over.

(Class 6 spoke briefly, using a casual tone to explain. As they learned and used more and more new tools, the new members had to face a harsh reality:

The expensive modification parts that were placed on them became worthless gadgets in Class 6), used by Qin Su to shoot at Class 6) at will, just to give Class 6) experience points.

"..."

Jealousy (Class 6, as simple as breathing.

This invisible act of flaunting wealth made their recently deceased jealousy kick open the coffin again, and they hallucinated that they were crawling on the coffin, heartbroken and pitiful, staring at Class 6) with gritted teeth.

In order to compete for the 'front row after training' position, Class 6) was moving faster and faster. They didn't have time to care about the resentful expressions on the faces of the new members. They hurriedly followed the instructions of their respective group leaders, and their minds were only focused on arranging the new members clearly so that they could 'compete' together.

"The group next door has already learned the ninth item, can you manage it?"

"Exactly, if any of the new members in our group learn the slowest, you'll be demoted three levels to the second-to-last-second-to-last-second-ranked."

"Too few! The first-place winner learned all seventeen weapons; in my opinion, they should be relegated to second place!"

"..."

Can't we take their resentment seriously? In such a short time, everyone has come out? What will happen in the future? Does no one care about their feelings? We found that Class 6) doesn't care about their lives or deaths, they just keep comparing and comparing, and the new members have become withdrawn.

The silence of the new members, in the eyes of Class 6), meant that they had been persuaded to accept the cruel fact that "they are inferior to Qin Su in every way." The voices that arranged for them revealed the joy that "no matter how many people come later, no one can surpass them."

Amidst the intense competitive atmosphere, all the new crew members on the Spaceships dispatched by Qin Su had completed their training before arriving at the designated exit Jump Channel location set up by Qin Su.

The group leaders waved their hands, allowing the new members to move around freely.

Even the "reading between the lines" (Class 6 had set up a special study course in private. They naturally saw the envy and jealousy that the new members couldn't hide in their eyes. After discussing it among the 999 Group, they spontaneously moved away from the Weapon Depot. They didn't leave completely, but let the Modified Humans see them to their heart's content while keeping a silent watch.

Qin Su trusted the Modified Humans and revealed all these secrets, which were fatal to them, to them. However, after much deliberation, the students of Class 6 decided to continue observing.

No Modified Humans could resist the temptation of learning about weapons designed to target their own bodies. In addition, everything revealed by the behavior of the Class 6 members easily aroused the jealousy of the new members. In almost every Spaceship, many new members spontaneously gathered in the warehouses used to store weapons, far away from (Class 6. While touching the weapons that used to kill them and the familiar parts on their bodies, they sighed in low voices, their voices filled with undisguised bitterness.

"Every time the people who modified me replaced my parts or did my maintenance, they would always nag about how precious and rare these things were. They said that if I hadn't been lucky enough to become a humanoid weapon, my family would never have been able to afford them in my entire life. They said how good the Military District was to us Modified Humans, that's why they gave us such good stuff. Now it seems... haha, what a load of crap! Qin Su was really good to Class 6). Just listen to the boastful tone of Class 6). They didn't limit the supply of such luxurious things, and not only that, they didn't use them for anything useful, but they used them as targets. Comparing people makes me so angry!"

"You forgot to mention the Combat Suit worn by Class 6). The highest-level Combat Suit don't need special customization; they automatically adjust to fit each Modified Humans's body part. If there's any missing part, an invisible protective layer will automatically activate to ensure the strength is no different from other parts. Our bodies are modified in various shapes, so wearing such Combat Suit is a must. But Class 6) aren't Modified Humans, yet they wear such high-level uniforms. Why does Qin Su give them the best of everything? Sigh, when will I be able to live as well as them? So, does anyone know how to join them?"

"Of course, who wouldn't want to know? But doesn't anyone find the idea of 'learning how to kill yourself from Class 6) ' a bit creepy?"

"... I'd completely forgotten about it until you mentioned it. It just occurred to me, doesn't it mean the enemy we're facing later is a group of Modified Humans just like us!"

"Who cares? To put it bluntly, I can't even control my own life. As long as I'm not the one who dies, it doesn't matter who Qin Su targets. Anyway, based on the current situation, Qin Su won't make a move against us anytime soon... Wait, what about the group that left? What will become of them?"

"I don't know what will happen to them, but I know or have heard of several people from that group. They're treated like royalty in the base's lab, so they shouldn't die. We can get a lot of things from them."

"Got it, that's a pot of rotten apples."

"I love hearing that, it's nice to hear, say it more often."

So, Baby 1 threw them out to prevent them from spoiling the soup?

[Look at what they're saying! God Su giving a rotten apple as a gift to the vice -Principal?]

[Why doesn't it count as right? Who cares? As long as it works, it's a good rotten apple.]

"We'll be leaving the Jump Channel in three minutes," Sophia reminded the members of Group 16 in the Group Communication Channel. "Please immediately deploy according to your assigned weapons lists."

Apart from the team leader, the team members were unaware of the Forced Jump Points that Qin Su had set up for each Spaceship. Upon hearing this, the new members had no time to chatter anymore and, with the idea of joining Class 6) based on their current mission performance, quickly executed the team leader's command.

Three minutes passed in the blink of an eye. After the violent shaking caused by forcibly leaving the jump Jump Channel midway, the Spaceship returned to calm, and the hatch opened immediately as Qin Su had set.

The new members of Group 16 stood behind Sophia, and were caught off guard when their eyes met those of the Cyborg Army outside.
